00:00Hello?
00:29Hello? Hello?
00:40Mr. Tate?
00:53Anybody here?
00:55Good grief. A farmer bang on time. Sorry if I made it, John. Didn't hear you come in.
01:05Mr. Tate?
01:06Well, who do you think it was? The removal man? Don't answer that.
01:11Matt Skilbeck. So you're the one that's bought a home farm?
01:15They're betting on some pop star in the village.
01:18Just me, I'm afraid. I've always admired this place as I drove past.
01:23Last time it was on the market a couple of years back, I couldn't quite scrape the cash together.
01:28This time I thought, well, you're not going to get a second chance.
01:32If so...
01:34This place are yours, Emmerdale.
01:36Oh, it's on the other side of the village. About 280 acres.
01:40Sheep, dare?
01:41Both. And Joe's, well, we're building up a beef herd.
01:47Make any money?
01:49Oh, so-so. Not as much as you, I'll bet.
01:52Do you use our trucks?
01:55No, we do sometimes. If we're buying or selling out, make it worthwhile.
01:58You seem to have a very compassionate nature, Mr Skilbeck.
02:04You're a farmer.
02:06You make a habit of liberating other people's livestock, do you?
02:10Not often. But them sheep were suffering.
02:13I hope you've given that manager of yours a rollicking.
02:15If you talk to him first, instead of driving off the sheep without...
02:18I could do without the advice, Mr Tate. You'll be blaming me next.
02:22My manager was under pressure.
02:24I don't like people who take the law in their own hands.
02:30Right.
02:32I want to see the sheep for myself.
02:34Then I'll pay you for their keep.
02:35All right?
02:37All right.
02:39But if I were you, I'd sack that cowboy of a manager.
02:41He's nothing but a hooligan.
02:43Oh, I doubt it.
02:45You see, he's my son, Christopher.
02:46Good night, Mr Skilbeck.
02:48Good night, Mr Skilbeck.
