00:00A 4x4 speeds along a woodland track, clothes and shoes strewn across the hallway of home farm.
00:09Alfie the shaggy lurcher jumps off a fireside armchair at the Dingles.
00:13In the wool pack, a woman runs her foot off her night's leg under their table.
00:20The 4x4 drives on through a village of stone houses under a cloudy sky.
00:25Emmerdale
00:29A plain white envelope with Joe written on it sits on the kitchen table at home farm.
00:34Joe approaches and stops when he sees it, then he slides it off the table and pulls out a sheet of paper with a message written in cut-out newspaper letters.
00:43Pay up, £100,000.
00:48At Keeper's Cottage...
00:50Is it true?
00:51What?
00:52I just saw Myra in the shop and she said that you're buying Gransfield back.
00:57Well, I didn't want to tell you until it's all sorted, which pretty much is.
01:03Well, that's amazing!
01:06Erm, how were you affording it though?
01:09Thought you were penniless.
01:10I had an investment policy tucked away before I got sent down which recently matured.
01:14You kept that quiet.
01:16Yeah, well I was going to use it to start a new life somewhere.
01:19But then realised I didn't want a new life.
01:23I want my old one.
01:25You're my kid sister.
01:27Well, thank you.
01:29You've been amazing, the way you've taken me in, helped me get back on my feet.
01:33You're my brother.
01:34Of course I was going to help you.
01:35You've still stuck by me, despite all the grief I've caused you.
01:39I'll never forget that.
01:43But this is my chance to make my mark around here again.
01:46Good for you.
01:47And Dad would be so proud.
01:49Yeah.
01:51Yeah.
01:54Sugden's a bike.
01:55Outside.
01:57Oh, hi Sarah.
01:58It's good to see you home.
01:59How you doing?
02:01I'm fine.
02:03Fine as can be expected.
02:06Well, you know I've been to her exactly the same.
02:07So, you know, if you ever want to talk.
02:11Honestly, I'm good.
02:12Oh, Ivy.
02:14I swear this child's going to be a shot putter when she grows up.
02:17Sarah looks tearfully at Ivy and goes inside.
02:21Is she really alright?
02:22It's probably just seeing the baby, you know.
02:25Oh, sorry, of course.
02:27Oh, listen, it's fine.
02:29Let's face it, she's got a long road ahead of her, haven't she?
02:32Charity smiles and heads inside.
02:35Vinny's tidying up at home when Gabby comes in from a run.
02:40You alright?
02:42About to find out.
02:44She steps on some scales.
02:47Yes!
02:49What?
02:51I've lost three pounds.
02:52In a day?
02:53I mean, is that a good thing?
02:54Well, I mean, one pound is great.
02:55Three pounds is brilliant.
02:57I still don't think you need to do this.
02:59I need to fit into that dress tomorrow.
03:00You look gorgeous at anything.
03:01Oh, I do love your naff remarks.
03:03Do you want to get a shower before lunch?
03:06Lunch?
03:07After all that hard work, hardly.
03:09Come in!
03:12Yo, yo, yo, yo!
03:13Right, listen.
03:14This one has got yawning written all over it.
03:15I said no, thank you.
03:16One hundred percent won!
03:17It's all the rage in Paris.
03:18Bro, you're going to look a million dollars.
03:19Yeah, until it falls apart.
03:20Ah, ah, ah.
03:21That's what happened with this one.
03:22Hand the stitch, see for yourself.
03:24No, look, you need something decent from that tailor in Hotton.
03:27Yeah.
03:28A suit of disqualities set you back about five hundred quid from there.
03:30How much?
03:31You get what you pay for.
03:33Well, on the other hand, I mean, if Cammie is giving it away.
03:36Well, half of.
03:37May it straight, so I'm cutting off my nose with you guys.
03:39Go on, then.
03:40Hope you've got something to wear, then, for the party.
03:44Am I invited?
03:46Did you not ask him?
03:48I forgot.
03:50Well, if you don't want me there...
03:51Of course he does.
03:52Why wouldn't he?
03:53Yeah, of course you wanted.
03:55Great.
03:56I love a party, me.
03:58Oh, are you busy?
03:59Um, my car's making a weird noise.
04:01Er, what kind of noise?
04:02Well, I don't know.
04:03You're the mechanic.
04:04Alright, I'll take a look.
04:06Maybe you could bring it around this afternoon.
04:09Well, scabby's car.
04:10Well, yeah, but I've got another 5k to do, so that would be great.
04:13Thanks, guys.
04:14Oh.
04:16I'll catch you later, then, won't I?
04:18Vinny looks worried as he watches Cammie leave.
04:21At the hide.
04:23And what if I decide I'm not in the mood for pizza?
04:26Well, we have some good salads, and of course we have jacket potatoes.
04:30In other words, same old, same old.
04:32If I was still in charge, I'd have definitely refreshed the menu by now.
04:36Well, you're going to have to take that up with Gabby.
04:39I'll have the salmon salad, please.
04:41Yeah, me too.
04:43And whatever passes for your best bottle of white.
04:46Always a pleasure.
04:50Do you have to wind her up?
04:53Keeps me amused.
04:56You know, Alma surprised you, agreed to join me for lunch.
04:59You and Joe usually sneak off somewhere.
05:03I'm going to ask what you get up to.
05:05Are we really that obvious?
05:07Well, I can't keep him off me.
05:09Not that I'm complaining.
05:11Can't beat the thrill of a new relationship.
05:16Talking of which...
05:17What?
05:18I think I've met someone.
05:21Dawn looks shocked.
05:23At home farm, Joe walks into the kitchen.
05:26Sam.
05:28What are you doing there?
05:30Just having me dinner.
05:32Kim says it's okay. I weren't skiving at all.
05:34All right.
05:35Look, did you see anyone around the estate this morning?
05:40No.
05:41Why?
05:43Someone left me this.
05:46Sam picks up the note.
05:49Blimey.
05:51That's a lot of money.
05:53Yeah.
05:54And they left it on the counter for anyone to find.
05:57What, they just walked into the house?
06:00Seems that way.
06:02Sounds like someone's proper got it in for you.
06:05Yeah.
06:07Just got to find out who.
06:09I feel terrible.
06:10The last thing Sarah needed today was me cooing over Ivy.
06:13What mother doesn't want to coo over her baby?
06:16Did she say anything?
06:17Well, she said she was fine, but...
06:18I mean, how can she be?
06:20What she must be going through.
06:22Am I going to get my take-off coffee or what?
06:24Good old Robert.
06:25All heart.
06:27Well, he does have other things on his mind.
06:29Oh yeah, what things?
06:30Oh, we'll tell you more when it's official.
06:33Intriguing.
06:35So, where did you meet this bloke?
06:38At the races.
06:40And how long has it been going on for?
06:43We met for coffee a couple of times.
06:46Nothing serious.
06:48But you'd like it to be?
06:50Is that going to be a problem?
06:52No.
06:54No, it's just weird isn't it, replacing Dad.
06:55I mean, he's only been dead six months.
06:58I'm not trying to replace Will.
07:02It's early days.
07:04It might come to nothing.
07:06I just wanted to be honest with you.
07:10Yeah.
07:12Well, thank you for telling me.
07:14Ross approaches Robert.
07:16You're a hard man to find.
07:19I'm worried you'd see me.
07:21Like you don't know.
07:23I haven't got time for this.
07:25Then make time.
07:27Outside.
07:28Now.
07:30Ross walks back out.
07:32Robert hesitates for a moment, looking worried.
07:34Then follows him.
07:40You've proper landed on your feet here, haven't you?
07:42Have I?
07:43Well, you must have if you can suddenly afford to bail Moira out.
07:46Well, I've had an investment come good.
07:48That's a coincidence.
07:49One of mine's just gone AWOL.
07:51I wouldn't know anything about that.
07:53You know all right.
07:55What is this?
07:56Moira needed a cash injection and me and Vic wanted to buy our land back.
08:01It's good business all around.
08:03What am I supposed to believe?
08:04That you've just suddenly magicked a bag of cash out of thin air?
08:08Do I look stupid?
08:09Well, now that you mention it.
08:11You're testing my patience Bertie.
08:15I've just done Moira a big favour and you're acting like I'm trying to pull a fast one.
08:19The least you could do is thank me.
08:21Are you serious?
08:23In what world would I ever thank you?
08:24Well, nothing's signed off yet.
08:26You could always pull out the deal if you prefer.
08:28You just say when.
08:30I'm sure Moira would thank you.
08:32Ross backs down, but when Robert walks away, Ross grabs his arm.
08:37Don't start thinking you can get the better of me.
08:40Of course not.
08:42You're a big bad Ross Barton.
08:44Who'd ever want to mess with you?
08:45Ross sighs and smiles then walks off.
08:49Robert turns to go and chuckles to himself.
08:52Joe's sitting on the sofa at home farm looking thoughtful.
08:55Sean walks in.
08:57You want to see me boss?
08:59Mmm.
09:01Sean sits down and Joe holds up the note.
09:04What do you make of this?
09:05Sean picks it up.
09:08Who sent it?
09:10That's what I'm trying to figure out.
09:12Caleb.
09:15Possibly.
09:17We were sniffing round the other day.
09:20Hmm.
09:22I figured he'd be a bit more upfront about this.
09:25Still, maybe you should keep an eye on him.
09:28That's not a good idea.
09:31Last time he almost recognised my voice.
09:34I'm best staying out of his way.
09:36What am I paying you for?
09:38We've got to find out who this is.
09:40I'm guessing you're not short of enemies.
09:43You know what?
09:45If this person is too cowardly to confront me face to face,
09:48then, er, sack it.
09:51I'll just call the bluff.
09:53Ignore it.
09:55Risky.
09:57Then I'll up my security.
09:59I'll have you working 24-7,
10:00and if they're serious about threatening me,
10:01then they'll have to go through you first.
10:04That's one option.
10:06Can you think of a better one?
10:09Sean leans forward.
10:12If I were you, I'd pay them off.
10:17What?
10:18What's underground to you?
10:20Well, I haven't exactly got that kind of money just lying around.
10:23But you could find it, surely.
10:24And if you give them what they want, they'll back off.
10:28What are you talking about?
10:30That's not how blackmail works.
10:31It's got to be worth a try, boss.
10:33I'll take the cash to the rendezvous myself.
10:35You don't even need to get involved.
10:36What?
10:37You were quick to take the easy way out, weren't you?
10:43I'm trying to help you.
10:44Are you?
10:45Or are you trying to help yourself?
10:46How do you mean?
10:48Joe leans forward, staring at Sean.
10:51You sent this.
10:53Didn't you?
10:55Sean looks away.
10:59Emmerdale.
11:06Emmerdale.
11:08You can't believe that I'm behind this.
11:09I'm on a cushy number.
11:10Why would I jeopardise that?
11:12I'm guessing for the same reasons that you came back.
11:16I gave you enough money to disappear for good.
11:19Foreign places aren't really my thing.
11:20No, admit it.
11:21You got greedy.
11:23And you wanted another big paycheck.
11:25You've got me wrong.
11:27I don't think I do.
11:29No, I should have sussed you out earlier.
11:31This is definitely the last penny that you're going to get from me.
11:32You need me, you know that.
11:34No, I just needed a bit of hired muscle, okay?
11:36And there's a lot of people I can go to for that.
11:38People who are smarter than you.
11:39People who don't bite the hand that feeds.
11:41This is silly, you've got no proof.
11:43Okay, yeah, maybe I'm misjudging you.
11:46But my instinct is saying that I am not.
11:49So you need to leave.
11:50Now.
11:51Mate, come on.
11:52I'm serious, if I ever see you again,
11:53I might just let slip to Caleb who actually stabbed him.
11:56And he is not a forgiving man.
11:59Just found this in woods.
12:00Porteous again.
12:02Introduced him to me little friend in the leg, did you?
12:06Am I interrupting?
12:07No, Sean was just leaving.
12:08Weren't you, Sean?
12:10You're going to regret this.
12:11Oi!
12:12Are you threatening him?
12:13What's it to you?
12:15Do you want to find out?
12:17You see, unlike you, Sam, he knows the order of things.
12:21He's loyal.
12:23To a fault.
12:24If I were you, I would get out now while you still can.
12:26Sean stares coldly at Sam for a long moment, then leaves.
12:36You alright?
12:38Joe nods.
12:40At Jacob's fold, Cain's looking at a laptop.
12:43Alright, kiddo.
12:45What are you doing here?
12:47Er, my gran's busy at the pub.
12:50She's made some soup for you.
12:51I've had some, it's good.
12:52Don't tell her that, though.
12:54You know, I don't need babysitting, I'm not ten.
12:56Well, we're not allowed to look after my granddaughter.
13:00That's a nice photo.
13:02Yeah.
13:03Kyle's found some really good ones.
13:04I'm just trying to sort out a poster for Nate's memorial,
13:07but I'm not very good at, you know, art design.
13:10It's a good job I woke up then, isn't it?
13:12I can help.
13:14I was hoping you'd say that.
13:16It doesn't have to be anything fancy.
13:18It does. We want to do Nate proud, don't we?
13:21In the cemetery...
13:23If Eddie's gonna be a problem, just say the word.
13:27Eddie's got a name now, has he?
13:30This is obviously bothering you.
13:33Look, our relationship means more to me
13:36than some man that I don't even know yet.
13:39So, if you want me to tell him to back off, I will.
13:43Kim.
13:45Look, I'm not gonna lie, it's obviously hard
13:48thinking of you with someone that's not Dad,
13:50but if this is what you want, then...
13:53I'm pleased for you.
13:55Are you absolutely sure?
13:57Of course.
13:59And if he was still alive, he'd say the same.
14:02I mean, he obviously wouldn't.
14:06But he'd want you to be happy, Kim.
14:09And so do I.
14:13And if this Eddie messes you about,
14:15then he has me to deal with.
14:17Don, come on, I eat men for breakfast.
14:22Whatever happens,
14:24nobody will ever replace your Dad.
14:27Kim puts her arm through Dawn's
14:29and they both look down at Will's grave.
14:32At home farm, Sam puts a mug down in front of Joe.
14:37Why's Sean out to get you?
14:40I wish I knew.
14:41Well, you must have some idea.
14:44You don't just demand a hundred grand for a laugh.
14:47Hm.
14:49You clearly don't know Sean.
14:51No, do you, by the sound of it.
14:53I mean, I don't know why you employed him in the first place.
14:56I mean, he's not Graham, is he?
14:59How is being wise after the fact even remotely useful?
15:03Yeah.
15:05It's as.
15:07No, er, I'm sorry.
15:09I shouldn't have a go at you.
15:11What if it's not Sean, though?
15:14What if he's working for someone?
15:17What if I'm in real danger?
15:20Do you know what I'd do if I were you?
15:23Scarpy.
15:25I mean, you could go off to that Monaco
15:27you're so keen on for a few weeks.
15:29Keep your head down.
15:31Business trip.
15:32You're always going on him.
15:34Yeah, you're right.
15:37Blimey.
15:38Things must be bad if you're taking my advice.
15:41Outside the garage.
15:43Let us know when you've fixed it.
15:45Hang on, I need you to turn the engine over
15:47so I can figure out where the noise is coming from.
15:49Yeah, well, I think she's making it up.
15:50Cos I've heard not.
15:51Come on.
15:53You can't avoid me forever.
15:55Billy!
15:56Have you seen Gabby?
15:58She's not answering the phone.
16:00If you see her, tell her I want a word.
16:03She's not happy about something.
16:05I don't get involved in the fallout.
16:07You're going to have to once you get married.
16:10You and Gabs, eh?
16:12It's going to be a bit different from last time.
16:14How do you mean?
16:16Noah told me about you and Liv.
16:18I bet it wasn't a normal marriage.
16:20What?
16:22You know.
16:24Her being asexual.
16:26Why are you mentioning that for?
16:27I'm just telling you what Noah said.
16:28What the hell?
16:29My relationship with Liv is none of his business.
16:30Or yours.
16:31Bro, I'm on your side.
16:33Sex isn't everything.
16:35I mean, for some of us it is, but not for everyone.
16:38And not always in the same way.
16:40What?
16:41I told you, Cammy.
16:42Whatever you think happened between us.
16:43I'm not like that.
16:44Yeah, yeah.
16:45Listen.
16:46I respect that.
16:48On the other hand...
16:51Well, marrying someone who doesn't want sex solves a problem, doesn't it?
16:54Liv wasn't like Gabby, alright?
16:56Who can't keep her hands off me actually, but...
16:59I love Liv for who she was and she loved me, right?
17:00So don't start suggesting...
17:02I'm not suggesting anything.
17:06I'm just asking...
17:09As a mate...
17:12Are you being honest with yourself?
17:14Vinny looks away uncertainly.
17:17At Jacob's fold...
17:18What do you reckon?
17:20Cain looks up from his phone and joins Sarah on the sofa.
17:24He looks at the poster she's designed for Nate.
17:29I reckon you're really talented.
17:31No, this stuff's pretty basic.
17:32An idiot could do it.
17:34Well, most idiots.
17:36Careful, I am still your granddad.
17:38Yeah, and yours will be.
17:40They both look sadly at the laptop.
17:43I still can't believe he's gone.
17:47It's like...
17:49Everyone I ever care about...
17:52Hey.
17:53I'm still here, grumpy.
17:55Yeah.
17:56And you're a real fighter.
17:59Are you sure you're okay?
18:01Yeah.
18:02Right, stop being soppy and go heat my soup up.
18:04Yes, chef.
18:06Cain goes to the kitchen and Sarah looks away sadly.
18:10Gabby stops running to answer her phone near the garage.
18:15Ah, finally.
18:16I need to talk to you about Kim.
18:18Oh, hello to you too, Laurel.
18:20Look, she was in the hide earlier.
18:22Bad mouthing our menu, okay?
18:24That is not good for business.
18:26Look, I'm not getting on the wrong side of Kim.
18:28I'm gonna need Home Farmer if I want my dream wedding.
18:30That is so selfish, darling.
18:32Oh, Laurel.
18:34I'm running myself ragged here trying to get fit.
18:36So I don't need you...
18:37The car connects to Gabby's phone.
18:40Hello?
18:41Laurel?
18:42If Liv hadn't had died, we'd have been together forever.
18:44You know, I'll never feel that way about anyone.
18:46She was the love of my life.
18:47Any?
18:49Laurel overhears, then the car disconnects.
18:52I wasn't using her as an excuse.
18:54How can you even suggest that?
18:55All right, sorry, bro.
18:57My mistake.
18:59Well then, where does that leave Gabs, then?
19:01If Liv's your untrue love...
19:03I just want to make sure you know what you're doing.
19:05Why wouldn't I?
19:08You tried to kiss me.
19:10Stop going on about that, Cammy.
19:12I love Gabby, right?
19:14She was Liv's best friend.
19:16It just feels right, okay?
19:17Yeah.
19:18Cammy shakes his head.
19:20All right, fair enough, then.
19:23If you're sure.
19:25Yeah.
19:27Laurel's on the sofa at home when Gabby bursts in.
19:31You cut me off.
19:33What, did I?
19:34Sorry.
19:35Yeah, look, please don't start getting difficult, all right?
19:38I've got enough on my plate without you giving me grief.
19:41In a field...
19:43So he's called Eddie.
19:46Eddie, kinda like a dog's name.
19:48I mean, it's not that I'm not happy for her, I am, but...
19:51I'm also kind of not.
19:55You listening to me?
19:57Yeah, yeah, and you wanna get a dog?
20:00I'm talking about Kim's new bloke.
20:02Kim's got a boyfriend?
20:04You really are away with the fairies, aren't you?
20:05Sorry.
20:07I've got this new, er...
20:09He's like a client.
20:11He's really getting to me.
20:13Is there anything I can help with?
20:15No.
20:16I was figuring him out.
20:18Okay, then forget about work, cos Kim is taking us out for dinner.
20:22She's got a lot to celebrate with these stables and a new man.
20:25I have to be in Monte Carlo first thing in the morning.
20:28Which means I need to go to the airport this evening.
20:32Okay, news to me.
20:34It's a work thing, it's just come up and I can't turn it down.
20:38I'll be gone for a couple of days.
20:40If that's okay.
20:42Do I have any choice?
20:44Sorry.
20:46Fine.
20:48Me and Kim can have a girly night.
20:50Who knows, maybe I'll pull a hottie.
20:52Go for it.
20:54See ya.
20:56Dawn walks off, leaving Jo standing outside the stables.
20:58He watches her go, then takes out his phone and makes a call.
21:03Someone discreetly watching him picks up a shovel.
21:08Hello.
21:09Hey, how you doing?
21:11Yeah, I'm good.
21:13Look, I need a flight to Nice.
21:15Yeah, first thing.
21:17Usual connection to Monte Carlo.
21:19Yep.
21:20Alrighty.
21:23Joe hangs up and looks towards the stables.
21:27He puts his phone in his pocket and goes inside.
21:32Sam?
21:34Joe stops and looks around.
21:38Sam?
21:39Is that you?
21:42He's hit on the back of the head with the shovel and falls forward.
21:45Sean stands behind him.
21:47him.
22:17You
