00:00Oh, can I have a word, please?
00:06Oh, you overslept. I need to get to work. Can it wait?
00:08No, it can't.
00:09Happy birthday!
00:10For me?
00:11Well, unless there's another ever living upstairs who's got a big day today. Go on, open it.
00:15How did you know?
00:16Oh, you left this behind yesterday at the Hyde. Some of your cards fell out. Rona wasn't
00:22looking, but she couldn't not see your driving licence and it had your date of birth on the
00:27So we thought it might be nice to do something special.
00:32Thanks, but I don't do birthdays.
00:33Oh, you do now. Because Rona's give you a free pass and I can get cracking with a full
00:37pamper session. Luxury nails included.
00:39Oh, there's no need. You've done so much for me already.
00:44I've got you posh coffee and Mandy's breakfast buns.
00:49Go on, then.
00:50Please, madame, take a seat and prepare to be pampered. Right, I just want before and
00:56after.
00:57No photos. I don't want anything online.
00:58No, no, no, this is just for me and you. Then you can see the difference when I release
01:02your inner fabulousness.
01:03OK.
01:04One, two, three. Happy birthday!
01:05Have you seen Evan's blankie?
01:16Er, it's on the settee in the lounge. Do you need a lift to the hospital?
01:22Oh, no, it's fine, thanks. Billy's putting him in the car. It's his second round of chemo
01:27today. He's only just got over his first.
01:29I know. It's really tough.
01:30Yeah. I mean, I know we're doing the right thing, it's just seeing him so poorly, it
01:36breaks my heart.
01:39Doctors wouldn't put him through it unless they knew he was going to get better. So if
01:42they think that way, so should we.
01:46That's what Kim said when she messaged me.
01:49Messaged you?
01:50Yeah, this morning, on her way to a meeting, she was just like, keep going, and that she's
01:55thinking of us today.
01:57That's nice.
01:58Yeah. I just wish she was here. The kids miss her. I miss her. Look, if you speak to her,
02:10please tell her to come home.
02:12Sure.
02:13Anyway, I'll see you later.
02:19Oh, also, tell her I'm going to go to the police about Mum.
02:24The police? What?
02:25Yeah, look, I know what I said about her being dead to me, but she's still my mother. She's
02:31not answering my calls or my messages. I've got to report her missing.
02:36Look, you just get Evan to the hospital. I'll take care of all that.
02:40Thanks, Dad. It's times like this we really need each other, right?
02:45Right.
02:48Hey, we've got a real problem now. Call me.
02:58Got the muscle on him.
03:03Yeah, and look at the price. Prize-winning bills don't come cheap.
03:07He said he wanted to improve the yard. Get a big one like him, you get loads of quality
03:11calves.
03:12I mean, he is a beauty, I'll give you that. And he'd be an investment. We could lend him
03:17to other farmers, sell his sperm.
03:20Sorry, what?
03:22We're thinking about buying another bull.
03:24Well, think again. You've already got one. I know it's getting on, but it does a decent
03:29enough job.
03:30He's slowing down. We buy another, then we're future-proofing the business.
03:34Bulls are stroppy and expensive, the size of a small planet. You've got enough on your
03:38hands with one of them.
03:39Yeah, not if you know what you're doing.
03:41And we do. High-end stock means high-end prices. This guy might be just what we need.
03:47We've just taken on a new farmhand. We haven't got any spare cash floating about for new
03:51livestock.
03:52Yeah, well, sometimes you've got to factor in short-term pain for long-term gain.
03:55Right, and sometimes you've got to factor in living within your means.
04:00Well, thanks for your input, Cain. Appreciate it.
04:04No bull, all right?
04:11You look rough.
04:12Oh, morning, Jay, and how are you?
04:13Must be getting to you already. The stress of co-owning the hop for just a single day.
04:19No, I've been up half the night, actually. You know, trying and failing to work out where
04:23me and the kids are going to live, considering you're forcing us out of our home.
04:27Yeah, you were happy to do the same to me.
04:29You're just doing it out of spite. You've got a home, Jay. It's a big mansion over there.
04:34I told you, I used to. But I sold it to Priya, and now she's on about charging me rent.
04:38Yeah, and I don't believe you.
04:39Well, you better had do, because the law is very clear. I'm skint, you've got assets.
04:44Now we're getting the divorce that you wanted. We divide everything equally.
04:48Oh, come off it, Jay. You've got money. We all know you've got money.
04:52There we have it. The reason that you married me.
04:55So what was your plan? I get a ring on your finger, then bin me off and grab half of everything I own?
04:59Pretty much what you're doing to me. And for the record, I actually married you,
05:05because I thought it was love, but you just took advantage.
05:09I did? Yeah, I should have ended it, you know.
05:13The minute I found out that you faked my signature for that loan.
05:17But you didn't. So here we are.
05:22And by the way, I've asked the estate agent to come round and value the place so we can get it on the market.
05:28You can't sell something you don't own. Yet.
05:32This house is not for sale, OK? You never will be.
05:35Then I'll see you in court.
05:50We're happy with his bloods. Once we've got confirmation from the doctor, we can crack on with the chemo.
05:56Poor thing. He has no clue what's coming.
06:00Good job, eh? You OK?
06:04It's just last time we hadn't seen what the chemo could do to him.
06:08Now we know. And he'll take it in his stride, just like he did the last lot.
06:14I'll just go and chase the doctor up. Then we'll have a brew, all right?
06:22He's been a different baby the last few weeks, hasn't he? Smiling, laughing.
06:27When this is over, when he's clear, he'll have his whole life ahead of him.
06:33It's going to be OK. You know it is.
06:37You don't know that. None of us do.
06:42I'm just trying to be strong. Yeah, I know.
06:46It's OK. We've got this.
06:50It's a good thing we've got each other, right? Yeah.
06:58Oh, one minute!
07:04Happy birthday!
07:07Thank you. Have you had a good day so far?
07:10Great, thanks. I've had the full treatment from Mandy. She said that you were paying.
07:14That's right. It's on us. I'm glad you enjoyed. There was no need.
07:18We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all your hard work.
07:21Plus, you know, you've been a brilliant friend.
07:25You've been a brilliant friend and a brilliant addition to the team.
07:28Hey, your nails look amazing.
07:30They look even better than they did on Mandy's post.
07:33Post? Oh, yeah, well, she's put her before and after on the salon,
07:37so she was here. Have a look, look. Oh, God, no.
07:41You look a bit anxious in the one before, but after the glam squad, you look really relaxed and happy.
07:45I told her not to do that. I said no.
07:47Well, it's just a selfie. It's not going to cause any harm, is it?
07:50You don't have a clue. None of you do.
07:53I didn't ask for any of this.
08:02Oi!
08:09That photo, I told you not to post it.
08:11I didn't. Don't lie to me. I've just seen it all over the internet.
08:15I was chuffing Amelia and I told her to keep it to herself.
08:18You told me that photo was just for us.
08:20She's obviously not read the bit where I said don't post it.
08:23You can't blame her. You look like a bag of spanners in the first one.
08:27You know, in the after. Hello, goddess.
08:30Please don't tell me that's for me.
08:33You pretend you've not seen it. It's supposed to be a surprise for the do-later.
08:37What do? I've just invited a few people for a drink, you know.
08:40Don't worry, Bob and his sparkly jacket are barred, so it's just a low-key thing.
08:44Then uninvite them. You've got to stop this madness right now.
08:47But everyone's really looking forward to it.
08:49I don't want a party. I don't want a cake.
08:52And I didn't want that photo all over the internet. Delete it right now.
08:56It's OK. I am on this. I'm going to message Amelia, right?
08:59Will you stop stressing, though? It's your birthday.
09:02Yeah, my big day. Happy birthday to me.
09:06Do you really think I've got anything to celebrate?
09:18MUSIC FADES
09:37Hello. Go away.
09:41I will.
09:44Once I know you're all right.
09:48But you're not, are you?
09:50I'm fine.
09:54I just saw you throwing cake and shouting at Mandy.
10:02I know today must always be very difficult for you.
10:07It's the anniversary of...
10:09Of the day I killed Joanne.
10:14Mandy was only trying to be nice.
10:17She's been such a good friend to me.
10:21I didn't want anyone to know it was my birthday.
10:24But they found out and they won't let it go.
10:28So it's all just, er...
10:30..a little bit overwhelming, is that it?
10:33I've had cake, cards, balloons, presents.
10:38It's the most anyone's ever done for me since Joanne's mum all those years ago.
10:42And I could have dealt with that.
10:45But then Mandy took these selfies.
10:47She promised me she wouldn't put them online,
10:49but then she sent them to Amelia, who couldn't help herself.
10:53Yeah, I saw them.
10:55On the salon socials.
10:57The second one of you is actually rather good.
11:01There is so much hate out there for me.
11:04People who think I don't deserve to even live.
11:08If the papers were to get hold of a picture of me looking happy...
11:12As much as I admire and respect Mandy,
11:15I don't think her social media has quite the outreach you suspect it has.
11:20How can anyone think I've got anything to celebrate today?
11:28You made a mistake a long time ago
11:32and you have paid the price for it.
11:35And I'm very sorry my recent behaviour hasn't reflected that.
11:41You have every right to live your life,
11:45no matter what anyone else thinks.
11:48And last time I checked,
11:50it wasn't a crime to have your nails done or eat cake.
11:54I just feel so wrong.
11:57And I do understand why you'd feel like that, but...
12:03Life goes on.
12:06And unless you acknowledge that and leave the past in the past,
12:11you can never move forward.
12:14And there are people here who want to help you to do that.
12:17People who care.
12:19Well, they used to.
12:21Now they're going to hate me.
12:23Smashing cake, tearing down birthday banners.
12:26Well, from what I can gather on the Ella's Surprise birthday group chat,
12:30people are mortified that they've caused offence
12:33and still hoping you might join them for a drink in the pub.
12:38They are.
12:40So I think you should just put all this upset behind you
12:44and let them raise a glass.
12:47You do? I do.
12:50Come on.
12:55We'll go together.
13:01BIRDS CHIRP
13:13Your superfood smoothie.
13:15You took your time.
13:17I wanted to be sure I got it right.
13:19Even though you might be in the process of divorce from my best friend.
13:22Your best friend who dumped me.
13:25You're still a valued customer
13:27and you're welcome here any time.
13:30Well, I appreciate it.
13:32I'm grateful of the support.
13:34Things can just get a bit heightened, you know, when people split up.
13:38Yeah.
13:42God!
13:43What?
13:44Something wrong?
13:46That's foul, disgusting, bitter.
13:48Just like you.
13:50I'm sorry it's not to your taste.
13:52I added salt instead of sugar.
13:54A bit of chilli sauce.
13:57Water. I need some water.
13:59Then I suggest you head to the shop and buy a bottle.
14:01If I had my way, you'd be barred,
14:03but Brenda thinks we shouldn't take sides.
14:05I've done nothing wrong.
14:07I'm the injured party here.
14:09It's me that's surplus to requirements.
14:11You had us all conned.
14:13When she married you, I was actually happy for her more than me.
14:16I'm just doing what women do to blokes every day.
14:19You know, if it was the other way round,
14:21you'd be egging her on, telling her to take me for every penny.
14:24So now you're some kind of poster boy for divorce equality.
14:27Rishi might have had a blind spot for you, but no-one else has.
14:30You were always a miserable excuse for a human being.
14:35Says the woman whose daughter's locked up.
14:38Even he'd be ashamed of you right now.
14:41And if you had anything about you, you'd be ashamed of yourself.
14:51Ella was devastated.
14:53I mean, she was mortified.
14:55She meant no harm by it, you know.
14:57How was she to know it's the anniversary of what happened?
15:00Are you trolling her?
15:02Well, yeah, who chose the playlist? Bit inappropriate.
15:05I just chucked together some dance bangers, that's all.
15:08Ella!
15:10Oh, you made it!
15:12You've all been so kind.
15:14I appreciate everything, and I'm sorry if you think I don't.
15:17The last thing anyone's wanted to do was upset you.
15:20Come here.
15:24Hey, listen, Emilia took the picture down.
15:26Yeah, and we should have asked your permission
15:28before we told the whole world it was your birthday.
15:30I think it was just a bit overwhelming, wasn't it?
15:33I hope you can forgive me.
15:35So if you all still want that drink...
15:37Mm, to your right, we do!
15:39What are we waiting for, then?
15:41What a birthday!
15:43Yeah, happy birthday.
15:45Right, come on, kids, get your requests in.
15:47Karaoke Queen's in the house!
15:49Drop it!
15:51It's going to be fine, innit?
16:22You absolute cow!
16:25I've got all my sisters with me!
16:28She's so beautiful!
16:30We are family!
16:32OK, I'm done.
16:34Get up, everybody, and sing!
16:37Right, go on, we've had enough of that now.
16:39Get it?
16:41Go on, listen, give us a song.
16:43Absolutely not.
16:45Remember what I said, though?
16:47I'm sorry, all that effort you went through.
16:49No, there's no need.
16:51Nobody's ever...
16:53I mean, I've never had a grown-up birthday before.
16:55Not like this.
16:57Well, we'll have to make sure he's one to remember, then, won't we?
16:59Right, come on, Roro, me and you!
17:01Duet time!
17:03No moaning!
17:05Right, what shall we choose?
17:07Oh, Roro, angels, dark angels.
17:09I love that one.
17:11Are you glad you came?
17:13Thank you for talking me round.
17:15Right.
17:25Listen, I...
17:27I hope you don't mind.
17:29I don't want to make it awkward, cos...
17:31you and I are obviously not, you know...
17:33Mind what?
17:39I got you this.
17:41I got you this.
17:43Open it.
17:49Sorry, I don't know if you remember,
17:51but a few months ago we were in town,
17:53and you said you liked it.
17:55So, um, I thought I'd pop in this morning and, uh...
17:59I love it.
18:01Oh, yeah.
18:03There we go.
18:05Come on, birthday girl, let's do this together!
18:07I've just told Mandy.
18:09I don't... I can't.
18:11Oh, you can do anything you want to.
18:13Yeah, I'll second that.
18:15Come on, you've got this!
18:17A lot of love and affection
18:19A lot of love and affection
18:21Whether I'm right or wrong
18:23Down the waterfall
18:25Down the waterfall
18:27Wherever it may take me
18:29Wherever it may take me
18:31You're the sound of ringing
18:33You're the sound of ringing
18:35When I come to call
18:37She won't forsake me
18:39She won't forsake me
18:41I'm loving angels instead
18:43I'm loving angels instead
18:47I'm loving angels instead
19:01Great song.
19:03We played it at Howard German's funeral.
19:07How did you even find me?
19:09Seeing as you had the gall
19:11to turn up to Auntie June's funeral,
19:13I figured it were game on.
19:15They weren't hard to track you down.
19:17Weren't you in here dinnertime last week?
19:19That's right.
19:21You've been here?
19:23Just keeping an eye on you.
19:25Nothing more.
19:27The way the law works,
19:29I'd be hauled over the coals if you saw me,
19:31so I kept my distance.
19:33Until this.
19:35Two gurning idiots.
19:37Rude.
19:39Celebrating Ruth's big day.
19:41So I just wanted to bring her something.
19:43To make it really special.
19:45Please go away.
19:47Okay, this is a private party.
19:49Yeah, and you're not invited.
19:51So sling it.
19:53I'm not here to make trouble.
19:55Just open the card, Ruth, and I'll go.
20:07I wanted to pass on
20:09Joanne's happy return, seeing as she can't.
20:11Our little star.
20:13Auntie June used to call her.
20:15Because she was.
20:17Wasn't she, Ruth?
20:19Okay, I think that's enough.
20:21You can do what now?
20:23This.
20:25This is our Joanne.
20:27She was kind,
20:29and funny, and stroppy.
20:31And we loved her.
20:35And this monster destroyed
20:37our family when she took her away from us.
20:41Her eleventh birthday was her last
20:43birthday ever.
20:47Why don't any of you get it?
20:49Yeah, we do. I promise.
20:51I do. Come on, let's go.
20:53No, leave me alone.
20:55I knew this was a bad idea.
21:07Well, the deeds are in my name.
21:09Yeah, but I'm still married to you.
21:11Salt in my smoothie?
21:13And now this.
21:15I am being persecuted.
21:17Oh, sorry, I'll call you back.
21:19What are you doing? You don't live here anymore.
21:21At least not before you barge in.
21:23Oh, I could do what you just did to me.
21:25And break in and empty
21:27the entire contents of your house.
21:29What?
21:31I know it was you. Just like you got Nicola
21:33to lace my smoothie.
21:35I have no idea what you're talking about.
21:37Oh, stop lying to me.
21:39I don't deserve this.
21:41You're the one that wanted the divorce.
21:43Deserve what?
21:45I just went home
21:47to find that someone's been in and taken
21:49every stick of furniture out of my house.
21:51The only things that are left
21:53are some clothes and some stupid sign about karma.
21:55Oh, genius.
21:57But it's not me.
21:59I mean, I wish it had been.
22:01Well, who else would it be?
22:03Yeah, with what you deserved.
22:05And maybe the universe was listening.
22:07It was you.
22:09It has to be.
22:11Jay, I'm recovering from a heart attack.
22:13The most I can do is lift a laundry basket.
22:15Oh, funny, that.
22:17Because you look well enough to me.
22:19Get out.
22:21I am telling you now, you have made a massive mistake.
22:23Look, the only mistake I have made
22:25is marrying you.
22:27Now I need to get to work, so either get out
22:29or I'll call the police.
22:31Ruth, stop!
22:33Stop, Ruth!
22:37Don't come near me!
22:39Do you know what?
22:41I wish you'd died that day.
22:43And if I wanted, I could make it right like that.
22:45I'd be lying
22:47if I said I hadn't had a thought about it over a year.
22:49You stay away.
22:51I'm not gonna hurt you.
22:53Not because I don't want to. I'd like nothing more.
22:55But since I don't want to spend
22:57the rest of my time inside with scum like you,
22:59I can't touch you.
23:01Leave me alone.
23:03It's not me you want to be worried about.
23:05You can run
23:07as fast as you want,
23:09change your name again, get a shiny new life,
23:11but you'll never outrun what you are,
23:13what you did.
23:15That evil
23:17inside you,
23:19I can smell it from here.
23:21So can those new mates of yours.
23:23Ella?
23:25Is everything all right? What's wrong?
23:27Don't worry.
23:29I haven't touched her.
23:31I wouldn't soil my hands.
23:35Happy birthday, Ruth.
23:37Let's hope for all our sakes it's your last one.
23:43Ella, love.
23:45He found me in the pub.
23:47He followed me.
23:49Right, come on.
23:51I want you to take some deep breaths. Let's get you back inside.
23:53You can tell me all about it.
23:55Come on.
24:03Hey.
24:05Didn't expect to see you so soon.
24:07Yeah, well, Evan's had his chemo and he's settled,
24:09so Dawn sent me home to sort Clemmy and Lucas.
24:11I told Kim.
24:13She rang me on the way back from the hospital.
24:15She called you?
24:17Yeah, she wanted an update on Evan.
24:19So she can find time to message Dawn and phone you up,
24:21but she can't be bothered to call me back?
24:23I'm sure she'll be in touch sooner or later.
24:25Who are you trying to kid?
24:27We both know it's too late for that. She don't give a stuff.
24:29Her silence can only mean one thing.
24:31That me and her,
24:33we're done.
24:43Don't give me that.
24:45I know it was you.
24:47You're the only one who hates me enough.
24:49Of course not, Jay. Look around.
24:51You've got more enemies than friends.
24:53Well, why not tell the police? See what they've got to say about it.
24:55And I'll tell them the truth.
24:57But if I had any spare cash,
24:59you honestly think I would hire somebody to clear your house?
25:01Whose house?
25:03My house.
25:05Something the matter?
25:07Jay's been burgled, apparently.
25:09Someone's cleared out the whole place.
25:11I mean, even the toilet roll holders.
25:13What about that weird lamp in the hall?
25:15Yes, and it's not weird. It's classy.
25:17Or that hideous octagonal structure thing on the wall.
25:19Hexagons, and yes.
25:21It was so in your face, Jay. Come on.
25:23More like a crime against interior design.
25:25Sounds like whoever's done it has done you a favour.
25:27Now you can redecorate.
25:29Find yourself something a bit more contemporary.
25:31It was you, wasn't it?
25:33You did it for her.
25:35That's why you left that sign about karma.
25:37Sign about karma?
25:39You had the motive. You've had the opportunity.
25:41And you know where I hide the spare key.
25:43Listen, Jay, I've just had my nails done.
25:45Do you really think I'd be shifting furniture with ease?
25:47Why didn't you tell that to the police?
25:49She was here in the cafe when you stormed out.
25:51Working on the laptop. Right under my nose.
25:53So why don't you back off, Jay,
25:55and go back to your big empty house and leave us alone?
25:57When you find out who it was, let me know
25:59so I can buy him a drink.
26:01I know it was you.
26:03And I'm going to prove it.
26:09So, where do you put all the stuff?
26:11So, where do you put all the stuff?
26:17Oh, can you see to the cars?
26:19Paddy's running late
26:21and he'll be here to give them their shots in about an hour.
26:23You off somewhere? Norfolk.
26:25I need to get going if I want to be there by tonight.
26:27I'm booked into a B&B
26:29and I'm in dinner with a livestock agent.
26:31Don't tell me you're still going to go see that bull.
26:33Hey, if he looks as good as he does online,
26:35he'll be a great asset for the Herald.
26:37Dad said no. You can't afford it, can you?
26:39Well, it's my farm, Nate.
26:41I make the decisions.
26:43Tell him that the kids are with Lydia,
26:45his dinner's in the fridge, and I should be back by lunchtime tomorrow.
26:47Cheers.
26:55Ta-da!
26:57We got some of the fellas to do it.
26:59I mean, Jimmy wasn't so keen.
27:01We can't do that, Nico. It breaks the life code.
27:03But I, um...
27:05To me, he didn't say that he had no choice.
27:07It was you, after all.
27:09Planned with military precision.
27:11As soon as Jay left this morning, they went in.
27:13We just kept an eye on his movements.
27:15I knew he'd go off on one about his smoothie this morning,
27:17which bought us a bit of extra time.
27:19I mean, they left with seconds to spare.
27:21But when Jay accused you,
27:23you just looked as innocent as I did.
27:25Well, I can lie like a pro when I have to.
27:27Kim taught me. It's direct eye contact
27:29and not a hint of a smirk.
27:31Genius. The little rat's finally got what's coming to him.
27:33I can't condone this behaviour, though.
27:35You know, you're stealing from Jay
27:37and breaking and entering.
27:39I mean, that is too criminal. Offences, girls.
27:41Well, put it all back, eventually.
27:43But the way he's been getting at you,
27:45I had to do something.
27:47She should have put a hidden camera in.
27:49I'd love to have seen his face when he realised
27:51that all of this had gone.
27:53Now, if it was me,
27:55I'd take all this stuff to some auction down south,
27:57sell it, you get the proceeds,
27:59deposit towards someone you...
28:01That's a great idea!
28:03Well...
28:05I mean, I probably wouldn't get much cash for it,
28:07but, I mean, he actually paid for this.
28:09What was he thinking?
28:11I definitely have a problem with this.
28:13I do love you both.
28:15You know that, don't you?
28:17Aw, right back at you.
28:19And you know, this is just a warning.
28:21If he keeps bullying you,
28:23he's not gonna know what's hit him.
28:29Hey.
28:31Here you go.
28:35What did he think gave him the right, eh?
28:37Turning up here today,
28:39spoiling your birthday?
28:41He only said what everyone else is thinking
28:43since they found out about Joanne.
28:45Murdering scum.
28:47That's me.
28:49An ex-con who's not to be trusted around kids
28:51or decent people.
28:53You know,
28:55when it came out,
28:57what happened all those years ago,
28:59it did come as a shock to all of us.
29:01It always does.
29:03Everywhere I've ended up
29:05since I got out of prison.
29:07Yeah, but those of us that have got to know you,
29:09we've realised it's the person that you are now
29:11that matters,
29:13not the child you used to be.
29:17I've been so happy.
29:21Today was the first time I've dared to hope
29:23that this time it might work out.
29:25That I've finally found somewhere I can call home.
29:27Yeah.
29:29Yes, and you have.
29:31Oh, but it's all broken now.
29:33No, Ella. No, it isn't.
29:35Gary's right.
29:37I can't run.
29:39You don't have to.
29:41I can't hide from who I am. There's no point in trying.
29:43Ella, just take a deep breath, please.
29:45There's no safe space.
29:47There's no second chances.
29:49I don't belong here. I never will.
29:51I know that Gary's upset you.
29:53I know he has, but I promise you,
29:55I promise you,
29:57everyone who's in that pub,
29:59they're there because they care about you.
30:03Oh!
30:05Oh!
30:09You think you know me?
30:13You don't know me at all.
30:23MUSIC PLAYS
30:29Please don't hit me again.
30:31I will, unless you call the police.
30:35There's no need for that, Ella.
30:37Look, whatever is going on here,
30:39we can sort it out.
30:43Not going to happen, Wendy.
30:45Call the police. Do it now.
30:47Or do I really have to hurt you?
30:49SCREAMS
30:51OK.
30:53OK, but my phone,
30:55it's in the staff room.
30:57Use mine.
31:03Police, please.
31:09Hello. I'd like to report an incident.
31:11SCREAMS
31:15I'm at Brook Cottage Surgery,
31:17Main Street, Emmerdale.
31:19If you don't get here soon, she gets it in the neck.
31:21Got it?
31:23SCREAMS
31:25What the...?
31:27She's lost it!
31:29Ella! What's wrong? What's this about?
31:31SIGHS
31:45People say we should just move on.
31:49How can we?
31:51Ruth broke us.
31:53She broke our family.
31:55And I do know
31:57how tough that is.
32:03I lost my own daughter
32:05not so long ago.
32:07She was...
32:09She had just 18.
32:11And the only comfort
32:13I have is knowing
32:15that the person
32:17who murdered Leanna
32:19is in prison and she will never be released.
32:21I'm sorry?
32:25But your aunt was not even 12 years old
32:27when Ruth killed her.
32:29She had her whole life
32:31ahead of her, just like your girl.
32:33And now that cow's out,
32:35already.
32:37The rest of her life in front of her.
32:41You call that justice?
32:47I'm sorry.
32:49I...
32:53I happen to know that what
32:55Ella... Her name's Ruth.
32:59...did to Joanne
33:01has haunted her
33:03ever since.
33:05She tell you that?
33:07Ella regrets
33:09what she did, bitterly.
33:13She's haunted by
33:15grief and guilt.
33:17And she knows she will never be able
33:19to live a normal life because of it.
33:21And you feel sorry for her?
33:23I think that
33:25everyone,
33:27if they're genuinely repentant,
33:29if they've done the work,
33:31if they've changed for the better,
33:33deserves a second chance.
33:35Or even the woman who killed your girl?
33:37Even her.
33:39If I thought for a moment
33:41she was capable of
33:43self-awareness or
33:45introspection.
33:47Well,
33:51you're a better man than I am.
34:01So, I found the sales room
34:03that opens in Brighton tomorrow.
34:05Give it a break, Gabby. Oh, three times
34:07in one day. You really are spoiling me, Jo.
34:09Why are you two
34:11looking so happy?
34:13Life, that's all.
34:15You know, since I had my heart attack,
34:17I just appreciate every day,
34:19every moment I treasure.
34:21Double points for every
34:23day that she's been separated from you.
34:25Triple when you're divorced.
34:33I know you've got
34:35my stuff. Look, do you actually
34:37want to order something? Because if not, I'm gonna have
34:39to ask her to leave.
34:41Yeah, you know what?
34:43I'll have an Americano.
34:45Just over there, please. Oh, and actually, I might
34:47have a piece of cake as well and treat meself.
34:49Because actually, I'm celebrating
34:51too, as it happens.
34:53You know, whoever emptied out my house did me
34:55a favour. It was too big, you see.
34:57Me and Art, you were
34:59rattling round that big old place
35:01and, well, Priya's
35:03put up the rent.
35:05So I've decided to downsize.
35:07And as you've so kindly
35:09helped me with my...
35:11I can't hear you, Jay!
35:17Kindly helped me with my packing.
35:19Not her. Not me. Us.
35:21No. I don't even need to fork out
35:23for a removals van.
35:25You know, I can't wait to meet my new neighbours.
35:27Oh, wow. What a treat for them.
35:29Oh!
35:31No, I forgot. I don't want to do that
35:33because I already know them.
35:35Yeah, see, I've taken out a lease on
35:37Hamilton. Bob's new
35:39tenant's pulled out and he was more
35:41than happy to help out a neighbour in need.
35:43It's, er...
35:45Luke, are you moving across the road?
35:47It's your best
35:49to make that two coffees. He'll be here any minute
35:51to drop off the keys.
35:53New start for all of us, eh?
35:55Oh!
35:57And I brought you this
35:59back.
36:03Never a truer word.
36:07What
36:09Gary said
36:11to you,
36:13I understand. It was
36:15triggering. I know that.
36:17My first and final
36:19party.
36:21For a minute there, I actually started to enjoy
36:23myself.
36:25We can work through this.
36:27Get you some proper help.
36:29Some counselling. I've had enough of that
36:31for one lifetime.
36:33Well, I'm going to call the police
36:35and tell them it was all a misunderstanding.
36:37When I bust Wendy's nose?
36:39Good luck with that.
36:43We can sort this. I promise.
36:45Joanne died.
36:47I didn't.
36:49Nobody's going to be able to
36:51forgive or forget. Gary
36:53was right. Why should I
36:55be out here living my life when she can't?
36:57Why did
36:59I think I even could?
37:01Well, you're living proof that you
37:03can. Because people around here
37:05they love you. And I loved Joanne.
37:07I miss her
37:09every day.
37:11And I'm sorry that she died, but sorry doesn't bring
37:13somebody back, does it?
37:15Please
37:17let me help you through this.
37:19What I did.
37:21No matter how fast I try to run,
37:23it catches me up every time.
37:25I'll never
37:27be able to escape.
37:29I'm cursed.
37:31I don't deserve to be loved.
37:33I don't deserve a life.
37:35A family.
37:37A baby.
37:39Those things are for
37:41normal people.
37:43Not killers like me.
37:45Well, I'm sorry, but I don't subscribe
37:47to that. What Gary said
37:49was wrong. Okay?
37:51Look how far you've come.
37:53There are so many people here
37:55who are your friends and they
37:57care for you. We can fix this.
37:59No, you can't.
38:01Nobody can.
38:03I'm done.
38:05It's over.
38:11At least I won't have to pretend
38:13when I'm back inside.
38:15Prison.
38:17That's what this is all about. You want
38:19to go back? I'm so
38:21tired, Mampreet.
38:23I just want to go home.
38:25This
38:27is your home. You're already
38:29here.
38:31Give this to Liam for me, please.
38:37We've had a call about a disturbance.
38:39It was me.
38:41I admit everything.
38:45It was me.
38:51Erin's asleep. Stable.
38:53So me and Dawn were wondering
38:55if you wouldn't mind taking a night shift
38:57so she can see the kids, get some rest.
39:01Will.
39:03Look, Dawn needs a break.
39:05She needs to come home, but you know, if you're too busy
39:07to give a damn... Sorry.
39:09It's business. There's some stuff going on.
39:11Yeah, well, there's some massive stuff going on at the
39:13hospital. Life or death stuff.
39:15And you know, Dawn is being so strong
39:17and she's holding it together, but I
39:19can't hold her together on my own.
39:21She needs a dad. I have not been pulling my weight.
39:23I get it. Look, I know you've got your issues
39:25with Kim and the haulage, but we've
39:27got some serious issues with two kids who are worried
39:29about their little brother. Of course you have.
39:31And Rose, she's either
39:33gone off the radar or gone missing.
39:35I'll do tonight. Tell Dawn that she can come home.
39:37Oh, and tell her that
39:39I've spoken to the police
39:41about her mum. Tell her yourself.
39:43I've got to take the kids football
39:45practice. I'll message her, I promise.
39:53Oh, no, no, no.
39:55I'm only her husband.
39:57My wife shouldn't bother even telling me, eh?
39:59Look, listen, I need to go now.
40:01All right, see you. Bye.
40:03Hey, thanks.
40:05Yes, please. I could do with a drink right now.
40:07Moira winding you up?
40:09Nothing she does or says makes any sense.
40:11One minute she's up, the next minute she's down.
40:13Then she's acting like she hates me.
40:15That's before she's even had a drink.
40:17Hmm, you don't sound like her.
40:19I'm not.
40:21Hmm, you don't sound like her.
40:23Mind you, the past few times she's been in,
40:25she has knocked back a few more than her usual.
40:27Yeah, and now Nats just told me that she's
40:29off to Norfolk to look at some bull that we can't even
40:31afford. Now that is Moira.
40:33You know she's always run that farm her way.
40:35Yeah, but she's never gone off before
40:37for the night, just without telling me.
40:39Well, maybe she needs some time. For what?
40:41To look at the bull.
40:43She runs a business.
40:45She's a way on business, end of.
40:47Hmm, that's up to her.
40:51Hmm, that's up to her.
40:57Bob said he's sorry that he couldn't stop for a chat,
40:59but the B&B's rammed.
41:01Unlike this place.
41:03Are you really moving into the village?
41:05I'll see you at the housewarming.
41:07Does that mean you're going to pay people to turn up?
41:09And you can tell whoever's got my stuff
41:11that I'll be at Conalton
41:13tomorrow. Hmm?
41:15Shall we say two o'clock?
41:17She doesn't know what you're talking about.
41:19I'd rather not break his heart by telling him
41:21that his stepmother has made off with his bed,
41:23his signed football shirt,
41:25and his flipping beetle collection.
41:27So can you make sure that I get all my gear back
41:29in pristine condition?
41:31And I might think
41:33about not calling the police.
41:35Oh, no, call them. I haven't got any proof.
41:37All them wagons have trackers, Laurel.
41:39If I want proof, I'll get proof.
41:41You wouldn't, would you?
41:43Get my stuff back to me, and you won't have to find out.
41:45Oh, and, uh,
41:47thanks for the coffee.
41:49You really are spoiling me.
41:53He don't mean it. He does.
41:55Heavy word.
41:59Wendy?
42:01Hey. Oh, your face.
42:03There's nothing wrong.
42:05I'm more shaken than anything.
42:07Well, what happened? I don't know.
42:09It was Ella. She had some kind of breakdown.
42:11Oh, Ella,
42:13what have you done?
42:15This woman is a patient in crisis.
42:17In my capacity as her GP,
42:19I have to insist that you let her go.
42:21And I obviously concur with my colleague's diagnosis.
42:23Thanks, but we'll take things from here.
42:25We'll be back to take a statement in due course.
42:27Okay, look, don't worry about it.
42:29We are going to get you a solicitor.
42:31Yeah, we'll sort it out.
42:33Thank you for everything,
42:35but...
42:37Thank you
42:39for everything, but
42:41this is for the best.
42:45I don't
42:47believe this.
42:49Be happy, Liam.
42:51Please.
42:53Mind your head.
42:59Ella asked me to give you this.
