00:00Oh, wakey, wakey. Put those on. Clear that time.
00:17Mum. Mum. I think she's dead.
00:32Oh, forget it, really. She's not dead, she's just wasted.
00:36Go away.
00:38Oh, grab a spin bag.
00:40Wow, that looks like a bunch of chimpanzees going berserk.
00:45Flippin' heck. Fair play.
00:49Lydia said you were all proper going for it.
00:51Eh? Where's your penny, Vinnie?
00:56What happened to you?
00:57Ended up with Belle and Cain. Just having a little chat.
01:00Hey, you had a chat with our Cain and it lasted all evening.
01:02Please, can you all be quieter?
01:04Oh, she says that now.
01:07What's that supposed to mean?
01:08You talking in this meeple, right?
01:11Talking about you and Paddy. Sex stuff that I shouldn't hear.
01:14You'll get over it.
01:16Any chance of a brew?
01:19Proper send-off all in all, eh?
01:21Boozing and scrapping, scrapping and boozing.
01:24Shall someone check on Tina?
01:26No.
01:27And if she shows her face again, I'm gonna set our Lydia on it.
01:30Right.
01:31Fuck.
01:59Hey.
02:00Hey.
02:01When did you get back?
02:03Um, been back a while.
02:05Hmm. Drank the pub dry?
02:08Staying.
02:09Hmm. Now go.
02:15Lots to talk about.
02:20Oh, go on, let's see.
02:22No.
02:23Oh, please. You look good in it.
02:31Yeah.
02:33Like a young Zach.
02:36He was a handsome man as well.
02:49Sam said I could keep it.
02:52Now it's mine.
02:54Don't know what to do with it.
02:57Wear it.
03:00It's what he would have wanted.
03:06Oh, come here, darling.
03:15Ta-da!
03:17What?
03:18Oh, right, yeah. Nice.
03:21So what's your prediction?
03:23So what's your prediction?
03:25Scammer?
03:26Want the money?
03:28Hmm. Don't know, but I doubt it.
03:30Could be a big bill, maybe.
03:32Might have been trying to settle her debt before time ran out.
03:35Guess we'll find out.
03:38You know, you should leave all this with me.
03:40I don't know why you're putting yourself through it.
03:42I mean, anything to do with Ellen, it always ends up in tears.
03:45Is there something you're not telling me?
03:47No.
03:49I'm not cancelling in case I get my feelings hurt.
03:51You don't have to.
03:52Just send me in first in case there's any trouble.
03:55Like a canary?
03:57I'm trying to be helpful.
03:59I'm sorry, you are.
04:00It's just, if you only think someone might have been dipping into my inheritance,
04:03it would be weird if I didn't show some interest.
04:06Besides, I am interested.
04:21Come in.
04:26Money!
04:28Me and your lady friends here.
04:31What's that?
04:33It's for you.
04:34Pie. Homemade.
04:35In case nobody wants to cook tonight.
04:39It's corned beef and onion.
04:40When did you make it? 1970s?
04:42Or is this what you lot are eating at Big Ants?
04:44Well, I just bought comfort food.
04:46Sure, it's gonna be lovely.
04:48Gabby's made us a pie.
04:50Nice one.
04:51Well, I didn't actually make it.
04:52You just said it were homemade.
04:53Yeah, I got Victoria to do it.
04:55I can't actually work the oven.
04:57They have corned beef at the high end, do they?
04:59Or they just save it especially for us dingles.
05:01I just seasoned it, you know.
05:03It is the thought that counts.
05:04Hiya, Gabs.
05:05Hey.
05:06Looking for glue.
05:08What's that?
05:09It's the marker for sax grip.
05:11Oh, really?
05:13What, you're doing it yourself?
05:15Well, it's more from the heart, isn't it?
05:16When you make it with your hands.
05:18Can I help?
05:19Are you any good at woodwork?
05:21What do you think?
05:22Probably not.
05:23Well, we'll take a seat. We're nearly finished.
05:24Then we'll go for a walk.
05:28Oh, no, not there.
05:30Oh, no, Gabby, that's my uncle's axe chair.
05:32Hey, you sit down where you want.
05:34Don't stand on ceremony.
05:35That's what my dad would have said.
05:39Come on through.
05:41Here, Amy, take your coat.
05:42Oh, thank you.
05:45Have a seat.
05:47Listen,
05:49are you sure you don't want to leave it with me?
05:51I'm right, aren't I?
05:52You don't need Ruby now?
05:54Free to go.
05:55I mean, it's up to you, obviously, but
05:57I just thought I was going to deal with it.
05:59I've scheduled time away from work and everything.
06:02My husband's pencilled in his grieving wife
06:04for a lunchtime meeting.
06:07So, I should probably see a copy of the will.
06:09We can talk about that.
06:11Talk about it?
06:12I thought it was all straightforward.
06:14I'm a bit curious now.
06:16Nothing is entirely straightforward
06:18when it comes to families and money.
06:21Do you want some coffee?
06:22Yes, please.
06:24There you go.
06:25You can make yourself useful.
06:32Oh, I know her.
06:34Harriet used to have her picture on the wall.
06:36They were family.
06:38Mr James.
06:40Mr Carl.
06:42Edna.
06:44She used to run the office.
06:45Ran the company, really.
06:47Yeah.
06:50Me.
06:51Me brothers.
06:53Me dad.
06:55Didn't I think?
06:56Yeah.
06:58Here it is.
07:01We used to do a bit of everything in those days.
07:04Waste management.
07:05Plant hire.
07:07Property.
07:08And lots of squabbling.
07:10Great squabbling.
07:14I think...
07:15Emmerdale Hortledge came along in 2009.
07:21Me.
07:22Me brother.
07:24A few vans.
07:26Sorry, I...
07:28I didn't really think about all that.
07:30No.
07:32Course you didn't.
07:34I'm just supposed to put my feelings aside
07:38and weigh the numbers.
07:41Look, you're a really good person, Jimmy, with a big heart,
07:46but the business is failing.
07:50Just like King and Sons.
07:52I mean, where would you be if you'd have kept hold of that?
07:57Your memories are yours to keep.
08:01But talk to Caleb, eh?
08:04See what he's got to offer.
08:06If it's not enough, tell him where to go.
08:11I'll talk to him.
08:18Still taking a lot of getting used to, that's for sure.
08:21But, you know, if it's good enough for Gabby,
08:23I don't see why I shouldn't.
08:25She probably had an idea.
08:27Yeah, well, her timing could have been better.
08:29One minute she's here handing me this puff pie,
08:31next minute she's sitting in my uncle's axe chair.
08:33I know.
08:34She's lovely.
08:35I just don't get it.
08:37I know.
08:38She's lovely.
08:39I just don't think that me and her are on the same...
08:41Wave land?
08:42Planet.
08:43Oi, be nice.
08:44Oh, I have to be, don't I?
08:45Cos I've been obsessed with her.
08:48Oh, me head does feel like it's being used as a trampoline.
08:52But...
08:53Hey.
08:56It's what me uncle's hat would have wanted.
09:03Oh, I know.
09:04Oh, I know.
09:06It were a lot for yesterday, weren't it?
09:09Did you, Harkini and Sammy foot the welterights?
09:13I just keep thinking that I should have gone to see him.
09:16When he got ill.
09:17It was my last chance and I just shouldn't have let Cain tell me what to do.
09:21Yeah, but your dad didn't want you fussing, you know.
09:24He knew that you had a lot to cope with.
09:27Like what?
09:29I don't know.
09:31You know, life and...
09:33and stuff.
09:35What stuff?
09:37What, Dad knew something was wrong?
09:40Did you tell him about Tom?
09:41No!
09:42Mandy?
09:43I weren't the one that were up there!
09:44Cain?
09:45Cain's told him?
09:46I don't know the details, but I know...
09:48Sammy just mentioned...
09:49I spent last night with a pair of them and I really felt like we were being honest with each other.
09:54Sorry.
09:55No, Belle, I'm sorry cos you were never meant to...
10:00Pick up.
10:04This makes no sense.
10:06It's not possible.
10:08I understand, it must be a shock.
10:10It's not a shock.
10:11It's not...
10:13I don't get it.
10:15Does this mean there were meetings behind my back?
10:17Steph's your eldest.
10:19I did everything to keep them apart.
10:21I didn't want any of...
10:23I didn't want any of my mum's poison rubbing off on her.
10:26Ruby, what?
10:27It's all gone to Steph.
10:29She's left her everything.
10:31I don't understand.
10:32I don't understand.
10:33How long did she know?
10:34She didn't discuss any of this with me.
10:38My name was mentioned once.
10:40As co-executor and trustee.
10:41Why?
10:42Why even bother?
10:43What do you mean?
10:44She wanted me to hold the estate in trust,
10:46pay all the bills,
10:48and make sure everything else goes to Stephanie.
10:51She must have wanted to make sure that I knew that she knew.
10:55Knew what?
10:56About Steph.
10:58But why?
10:59I knew that this would make you upset.
11:00Yeah, I'm upset.
11:01What is this, some kind of weird apology?
11:04Her way of saying sorry?
11:06Or what, some kind of attack from beyond the grave?
11:10Shall we stop?
11:11No, I just...
11:12I need some air.
11:14Can you deal with the rest of this, please?
11:16Yeah, yeah, of course.
11:17Don't worry.
11:18We could just take a break, come back to it.
11:20No.
11:24I think she's had enough.
11:25I do still need to ask about the payments on the bank statement, though.
11:30Thrax Logistics.
11:33Any idea whose account that might be?
11:36It's a significant sum of money,
11:38paid from Helen's account just before she died.
11:43I've absolutely no idea.
12:01HE SNIFFS
12:22Hiya, Dad.
12:27All quiet in village today.
12:31Lots of folk with sore heads.
12:35Reckon you'd have approved her yesterday, though.
12:42I know it's daft, but...
12:45I'll keep coming and chatting to you.
12:49When I can.
13:00HE SIGHS
13:22It's done.
13:23Looks all right.
13:25Why did you and Cain lie to me last night?
13:28Eh?
13:29About Dad.
13:30He knew about Tom.
13:32Oh, come on, Belle.
13:35Do you know what he were like?
13:37He could sniff out trouble like a badger sniffs out a rodent.
13:42He asked him, Debs and Cain.
13:45They're not gonna lie to him, are they?
13:48And what did he say?
13:53You'd have to ask Cain, but...
13:56From what I heard,
13:57he wanted to rip Tom's head off and plant it.
14:01And he would have done it all if Cain hadn't have stopped him.
14:03Since when did Dad let people tell him what to do?
14:08Since he got ill.
14:12I bet he thought I was an idiot.
14:15No.
14:16Cain told him you wanted to handle things your own way.
14:20And he didn't want any more trouble.
14:23So do you think you'll get to the bottom of it?
14:25I'm beginning to doubt it.
14:27It'll get flagged in probate, but...
14:29Oh, great, that's all Ruby needs, more woody.
14:31You know, she's been through a lot with all this.
14:33I'll make sure a correspondence comes to both of you.
14:36That's what I was thinking.
14:38Do we need to bother Ruby with this at all?
14:41You're co-executors.
14:43It wouldn't really be ethical.
14:44Oh, yeah.
14:45Of course.
14:47Well, thanks for everything.
14:48It's appreciated.
14:53KNOCK AT DOOR
14:58How about some good news?
14:59She thinks that you think she's a snob.
15:02Can't I have a two-minute kip in me own salon?
15:07I just wanted you to get on, Mum.
15:12Ta-da!
15:15Ta-da!
15:17You kegs?
15:18No, I'm free.
15:20Free as a bird.
15:22The weird thing is, it feels like someone's missing.
15:24Might try a little anklet.
15:25I thought you were going to see Gabby.
15:27Who's Gabby?
15:28Er, girlfriend.
15:29Going somewhere nice.
15:30Just her place.
15:32Does she live in the village?
15:33It's me tat, shouldn't you get going?
15:34Oh, no, no, I'm interested.
15:35It's natural for me to be interested.
15:38I'm family.
15:40Just in the big house as you come in.
15:43Big house as in Home Farm?
15:45No way.
15:47Nice work, fella.
15:48Me and Auntie Tina just need time to talk, all right?
15:53See you again, honey.
15:55I thought I made myself clear.
15:57You stay out of this village.
15:59He seemed to like me.
16:00Tina, don't...
16:01And you don't get to tell me where I can and can't go.
16:04Especially now I've got interest round here.
16:08If you're banging on about the house again,
16:10me Uncle Zak, he made his wishes clear.
16:13Prove it.
16:15Belongs to family.
16:17And I'm family.
16:20Anyhow...
16:22Who says we're just talking about the house?
16:26No, don't.
16:28Don't you dare.
16:29Bossing me around again?
16:30Tina, Tony...
16:31Baby!
16:32I've come for everything that's mine.
16:36Vinnie is such a sweet boy.
16:39Do you know what makes me sad?
16:40Thinking about everything I've missed out on.
16:43But that is your fault!
16:44Doesn't matter.
16:45What's mine is mine.
16:49My house...
16:52My son.
16:58Fiona, I'm sorry about before.
17:00No reason to be sorry.
17:02So did my husband help you solve the mystery?
17:04Not really.
17:05Oh.
17:07Guess we'll never know.
17:08Well, let's hope HMRC see it that way.
17:11Are they really going to be bothered about a few grand?
17:13£100,000 is a lot of money to be paid into a shell account
17:17so close to somebody's death.
17:19£100,000?
17:20Mm-hm.
17:22How close?
17:24It completed on the day she passed.
17:27Can you think of anyone she might have seen or talked to that day?
17:35You gave her a corned beef pie?
17:37I was trying to fit in.
17:39All right, so what next?
17:40Turn up in clogs?
17:42It's comfort food.
17:44My dad and gran used to make me it.
17:45But look, I'm a snob, no matter what I do.
17:47Right, have you any idea how much you drank last night?
17:50It's a wonder she's not in intensive care.
17:52I'm serious, Vinnie.
17:54I don't want your mum to hate me.
17:56She likes you, Gabby.
17:57Maybe just, you know, don't overthink it, yeah?
18:00She's grieving and it's got all weird since this teen lady's shown up, so...
18:04You know, maybe invite her round for drinks.
18:06Just, you know, not ale and chip butters.
18:09We can make cocktails.
18:10Oh, darling, that is perfect.
18:13Call me, uh...
18:21PHONE CLICKS
18:24I never said thank you.
18:26Hmm?
18:29For taking over, sorting everything.
18:32Nothing to sort.
18:35Wasn't there some transaction or something she wanted to know about?
18:38Oh, yeah, it was a few grand, I think.
18:41It was probably some invoice or something.
18:44That work on the house.
18:45I don't know, it could have been anything.
18:48PHONE CLICKS
18:50You're a liar.
18:53It was a hundred grand.
18:56Not a few grand.
18:59A hundred.
19:02And I think you've got it.
19:03Why would I have it?
19:04Stop lying to me!
19:12So...
19:14Why...
19:16..would my dying mother give you £100,000?
19:20OK, Ruby.
19:25I knew she'd do something to hurt you, right?
19:27And I was right, wasn't I? Look what she did with the will.
19:30So you did it for me?
19:32I thought you deserved some inheritance from her.
19:34But it was more than that.
19:38I wanted to use it to invest in our future.
19:41So I thought...
19:44..I'd use the money to buy Jimmy's half of the haulage,
19:48make a success of it with a depot,
19:50and we'd be set up for life.
19:55Did my mum...
19:57..even say any of those things about me in the hospital
20:00that you said she did?
20:02No.
20:04You scumbag!
20:06Ruby.
20:07Just shut up!
20:10I'm trying to get this straight in my head.
20:12So...
20:13..when I caught you lying, that you'd not seen her at all,
20:16and I asked you if there were any more lies...
20:21..you lied to me again.
20:22And you've carried on lying to me ever since, right?
20:26When she died this morning and just a few moments ago
20:30when I got back.
20:32It comes so naturally to you, do it again, do it again.
20:35What?
20:36Just a few grand, I think.
20:39Probably some invoice or something. Say it, say it!
20:42Oh, my God!
20:46I know, you're literally, literally making me feel sick.
20:49I am looking at you, and I could actually throw up!
20:54For God's sake, Caleb!
20:58I know we both have our faults, but at least you're not lying to me.
21:02I know we both have our faults,
21:04but at least we could say we knew each other.
21:07And that was something!
21:09At least we'd have that!
21:13But...
21:14..you've shown your true face, and this is just...
21:18I can't...
