Short filmTranscript
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 up a man's leg under their table.
00:20The 4x4 drives on through a village of stone houses under a cloudy sky.
00:25Emmerdale.
00:28At Home Farm, in an extremely blurred sequence of events,
00:32a figure walks away from the bottom of the stairs, across the hall,
00:36and carefully puts a long rectangular gun case down on the table.
00:42They open the case and remove the gun.
00:45Two red shotgun cartridges in the case come into sharp focus and are loaded into the gun.
00:51At Café Main Street...
00:54So, what do you think?
00:55That was the best bacon buttery I've ever had.
00:59What was on it?
01:01Just my homemade tomato chutney.
01:03Morning.
01:05What have you done?
01:07Mrs Bickerstaff got overexcited at prayer group.
01:09I told Charles wine would only complicate matters.
01:12What did she do?
01:13Put it this way. She won't be invited again.
01:16I'll have a dirty chai, please.
01:20Oh, hang on. What's on that one again?
01:22Do you not know your own menu?
01:23I can sell that for you, madame.
01:24I'll let him try his hand at the specials.
01:26Could I also interest you in a pastel donata?
01:29A what?
01:30A Portuguese custard tart.
01:32What is it with this kid? Has he got some kind of superpower that makes people spend money?
01:36As long as the profits keep going up.
01:38Well, Brenda keeps blowing on our beavers.
01:42Have you still not managed to get a hold of her?
01:44I have rung her, messaged her, emailed her and the only thing I haven't tried is pigeon post.
01:50Why should we work our fingers to the bone while she works her way through the mountains?
01:55I think you mean the Rockies.
01:58Still no luck?
01:59Maybe there's no signal.
02:00Or she's ghosting you.
02:02Is that meant to be helpful?
02:04Just an observation.
02:05Right. Ring her again. And keep ringing her.
02:08And unless you can get us the hotline to Beaver City, stick to making coffee.
02:12At Home Farm.
02:13Coffee?
02:14Yes, thank you.
02:15Black, please.
02:16Crowley sits down.
02:17Sorry if I abandoned ship last night.
02:20No, I had a good chat with your grandson.
02:22Oh, and how did that go?
02:24We're with more in common than you'd think.
02:26Well, if you'd like to stay over again this evening, I promise to make myself available.
02:33Morning.
02:34Good morning.
02:35Well, hello.
02:36Maybe without a baby in common.
02:38I know.
02:39Feels weird.
02:40I even had time to brush my hair.
02:42Still miss them though.
02:44I'll remind you of that when they've got you run ragged.
02:47Speaking of which...
02:50Hey, Clem.
02:51Hi.
02:52How is it?
02:53You having a lovely time?
02:54Someone's got their hands full.
02:55Well, it's been quite a journey, but she and Joe make a good team.
03:00It's hard enough to find someone you want to spend an evening with, let alone a lifetime.
03:04Yeah.
03:06Although I have recently stumbled across a very sophisticated cosmetic surgeon.
03:11Oh, yeah.
03:12Oh, God.
03:13When will you ever get the message?
03:14Problem.
03:15Hey, the business call from Dubai I rudely abandoned you for last night.
03:27I'm trying to extricate myself so as I can invest in projects closer to home.
03:32What sort of projects?
03:33Oh, I couldn't possibly divulge.
03:37Excuse me.
03:39At Butler's farm, Cain's sitting at the kitchen table with his clenched fist to his mouth, staring thoughtfully.
03:45Charity walks in.
03:48Er, menus.
03:50Phenite's memorial.
03:51Chas wants you to cast an eye.
03:54Well, I'll take a look later.
03:58Okay, well, er, in other news, I've been doing some digging.
04:03Surrogacy agencies.
04:04So you've finally seen sense?
04:06Well, I don't really have a choice, do I?
04:07Seeing as, you know, you lied to Sarah, saying Liam thought it was a great idea.
04:12I just want her to be happy.
04:13What, and I don't?
04:14I don't like seeing her like this.
04:16Well, let's face it, she's gonna go ahead and do it anyway, ain't she?
04:19Exactly, at least.
04:20This way, we get to keep an eye on her.
04:22Well, that's if we can find anyone.
04:24I've gone through this entire list and no one's biting.
04:27Well, there must be somebody somewhere.
04:28Well, as soon as I say the words, life-limiting illness,
04:31you can't get off the phone fast enough.
04:33Then don't say it.
04:34We're not doing some dingle scam here.
04:36I think we've all told enough lies, don't you?
04:38If we're doing this, we're doing it right.
04:40Full disclosure.
04:41Ross comes in.
04:43What time do you call this?
04:45My time.
04:46Got a problem with that?
04:48Only when it's on my time.
04:49Okay.
04:50I think we've done enough alpha mailing.
04:51Where's our kid?
04:52Cafe.
04:53Working.
04:54Maybe you should try it.
04:55I'll give that some thought.
04:57Laters.
04:58Do you want a break?
04:59Yeah.
05:00He flicks the kettle on.
05:01Right.
05:02So, if the agency's not going to work, then...
05:03Well, online forums are suggesting we ask family.
05:04Well, there is no family, apart from my bell.
05:05No way.
05:06Is she an option?
05:07She's just getting herself back on track, isn't she?
05:08Well, who else is there?
05:09And don't say Mandy.
05:10Charity shakes her head, then frowns.
05:11At home farm, Kim's standing by a fence looking out at the fields.
05:14She turns and walks towards the stables.
05:15Joe.
05:16What are you doing out here?
05:17I was thinking of taking ice out for a ride.
05:18Ice?
05:19You'd be taking your life in your hands.
05:20About you, I'd stick to one of the hacks.
05:21Is your friend gone?
05:22No.
05:23No.
05:24No.
05:25No.
05:26No.
05:27No.
05:28No.
05:29No.
05:30No.
05:31No.
05:32No.
05:33No.
05:34No.
05:35No.
05:36No.
05:37No.
05:38No.
05:39No.
05:40No.
05:41No.
05:42No.
05:43No.
05:44No.
05:45No.
05:46No.
05:47Eddie.
05:48No.
05:49He's settled in the sitting room with a copy of Country Life.
05:52You have only known him for five minutes.
05:54Are you sure you should be leaving him alone in the house?
05:56I don't see any problem with it.
05:58Do you not think maybe that you're rushing things a little bit with this guy?
06:02I'm sorry?
06:03Well, maybe that it's a little bit too fast, too soon.
06:07Number one, I'm no fool.
06:09Number two, what concern is it of yours?
06:12I just don't want history to be repeating itself, that's all.
06:15I'm not with you.
06:16Well, like, with Will, when I came back?
06:19Oh, right.
06:20You're crossing the line now, Joe.
06:22I'm just worried about you.
06:24You sure it's me you're worried about?
06:26Or your inheritance?
06:28If I want a relationship with someone, I don't need your permission, so be nice.
06:33At the mill?
06:35Shall I brew?
06:36With beer?
06:37No, it's I.
06:38Listen, I heard about Nate's memorial and for what it's worth, I think it's a great idea.
06:44What can you tell me about surrogacy?
06:46Surrogacy?
06:47You're right past it now for another kid, aren't you?
06:51Not for me, for our Sarah.
06:53Sarah's looking for a surrogacy.
06:54When?
06:55Since she had her womb removed.
06:56Hang on a minute, I thought she was...
06:57No, I'm asking the question.
06:58Could you just turn that down, please?
06:59How do we find someone if we don't go through an agency?
07:12Why are you asking me this?
07:14What, because you and Robert did it?
07:17Well, almost.
07:18I mean, where did you find her?
07:21She was a member of some surrogacy group in Hotton.
07:26I think she'd done it before.
07:28Have you still got a number?
07:30Yeah, maybe.
07:32Cain, do you really think you should be concentrating on this when you've got all the Nate stuff going on?
07:36Just talk me through it.
07:39Okay, erm...
07:41Well, it's complicated.
07:43Obviously.
07:44And she holds all the cards, and...
07:46I mean, she was gonna back out at first, and then...
07:49The family got involved.
07:51Told her how great we were, and...
07:54It's mad, actually, thinking about it, that...
07:58We would've had a little kid running round if...
08:01Robert hadn't got sent down.
08:04And this, erm...
08:06This woman, you trusted her?
08:08Yeah.
08:09I don't think she was in it for the money.
08:11She genuinely wanted to help.
08:13At Keeper's Cottage.
08:16Look, I'm sorry to call unannounced.
08:18No, it's all right.
08:19Er, it's about Sarah.
08:21Yeah.
08:22I heard she was out of hospital.
08:24You okay?
08:26Yeah, I'm just, I'm trying to get my head round all this, and figure out what to do.
08:31But if there's anything I can do, I'll help, you know that.
08:35Well, that's what I thought.
08:38Erm...
08:41I can't believe I'm even saying this, Vic.
08:45Go on.
08:48Will you be Sarah's surrogate?
08:50Victoria frowns and stares at Charity in shock.
08:55At home farm, a figure wearing black pointed boots and narrow black trousers walks quietly across a straw-covered floor.
09:03A figure in dark brown boots and tight dark trousers walks across the straw in the opposite direction, with the shotgun pointing down at the ground.
09:15The figure without the gun walks into the stables.
09:18Joe points the shotgun at Crowley's head.
09:21I'm not going to let you do to my family what you did to me.
09:25Might help you steal a kidney.
09:28This ends now, Crowley.
09:32Emmerdale.
09:36Emmerdale.
09:41Crowley's at gunpoint in the stables.
09:44Do you realise the damage that thing could do?
09:47He'd be picking up body parts for days.
09:50And?
09:51Just don't think you've thought this through.
09:53This is over, Crowley.
09:56Is it?
09:58Don't move.
10:01Clearly you've forgotten who you're dealing with.
10:04I was a surgeon, remember?
10:06Nerves of steel dealing with death every day.
10:08But that's not you, is it, Joseph?
10:10You couldn't kill a man in cold blood.
10:13I mean it.
10:14Do you?
10:16Really?
10:18You'd be happy to go to prison for murder.
10:22I think you'd rather see your granny on the streets than spend a single night behind bars.
10:27You know nothing about me.
10:29Then prove me wrong.
10:31Crowley moves the gun to his heart.
10:33Prove it.
10:35Prove it.
10:36Prove it.
10:37Joe tenses and grimaces.
10:40You see, that's the problem with the youth of today or bark and no bite.
10:44Crowley walks away.
10:46Please.
10:47I can't.
10:48I can't.
10:49I can't do that to Kim.
10:51He stops at the stable door and turns around.
10:55Then walks back to Joe.
10:58I think you're forgetting about Dawn and the kids.
11:01You stay away from Dawn and you stay away from those kids.
11:05You keep your side of the bargain and I'll keep mine.
11:07How am I supposed to take her money without her knowing it was me?
11:10Not my problem.
11:11You brought this on yourself, Joseph.
11:14Actions have consequences.
11:17Crowley smiles and casually walks out into the sunshine.
11:21At Keeper's Cottage, Charity sits watching Victoria, who's still in shock.
11:31Say something, Vic.
11:34Ask me some questions, anything.
11:36It's just a lot to take on board.
11:40No, I know it's a big ask after everything you've been through.
11:44And I hate that I'm even putting it out there.
11:46And you know, if we weren't desperate...
11:48Why me?
11:51Because you're family.
11:54Sarah can trust you.
11:56We can trust you.
11:59I know it sounds mad. It is mad.
12:00But you know the hard part's done.
12:03Sarah's already had her eggs harvested.
12:05Jacob's passed all the tests.
12:07Jacob?
12:09Or whoever. I mean, that's not set in stone.
12:12Look.
12:14It's not that I don't feel sorry for Sarah.
12:17Of course I do.
12:18But it's not just her to think about.
12:22There's this baby too.
12:24Who's going to be around for the next however many years.
12:29You might have to grow up without a mum.
12:32I've been there. I know how that feels.
12:34And I can hear what you're saying, but isn't that the same for anyone?
12:38Any one of us could go out there tomorrow and get hit by a bus.
12:42Doesn't mean we should stop living our lives.
12:44But it is different for Sarah.
12:46But who knows what will happen, Vic?
12:48There could be medical advances.
12:50She could go in to live a really long, happy life.
12:52And hopefully that is what happens.
12:54But right now, Vic, honestly, you should see her.
12:58And what she's going through, she's broken.
13:02So if I can just bring her this one little bit of happiness...
13:09I'm sorry.
13:10No, it's just because...
13:14It's because you love her so much.
13:17I hate to be putting this on you, Vic.
13:22I've got nowhere else to turn.
13:25Nicola's wearing headphones.
13:28Once I ran to you
13:31Now I run from you
13:34This tainted love you've given
13:37I give you all the boys who give you
13:41There's a coping mechanism I show you there.
13:44Do you have to put up with that all day?
13:46No, only when she's stressed.
13:48Oi! Pack it in, will you?
13:50What?
13:51My ears are bleeding over here.
13:52Make sure he pays.
13:55Anyway, how are you getting on?
13:57Apart from working with the fog on.
13:59Yeah, well, custom engagement's up.
14:01I've been keeping a tally.
14:02I just hope they keep it up once I'm gone.
14:04Gone? Gone where?
14:06Well, I'm obviously not going to be here forever.
14:08Why not?
14:10Me moving to the village was always going to be temporary.
14:12Yeah, I know you said that at Furtus, but...
14:14I want to stick around now, don't you?
14:16Why would I?
14:18Cos I'm here?
14:19Yeah, but I don't want to be washing coffee cups for the rest of my life.
14:23I want to run my own business.
14:25Right.
14:27That isn't a problem, is it?
14:28No, it's just been nice having you around, that's all.
14:31For the weed?
14:33Because you're my brother.
14:35Ever once I thought someone I cared about might actually stick around.
14:37Sorry.
14:38I just get a bit needy around family members.
14:41People have a habit of disappearing when they get to know me.
14:44Afternoon, boys.
14:46I've just got a craving for one of those fancy coffees.
14:48Nah, well, don't expect a discount.
14:50Here's Bob.
14:52Brenda went abroad with Bob's daughter.
14:54Yeah?
14:55Why?
14:56I've heard.
14:57Yeah, a lot of dirty chai.
15:00At Keeper's Cottage, Charity waits while Victoria makes hot drinks in the kitchen behind her and carries them out.
15:08You okay?
15:10Sorry for blubbing.
15:12No, it's like I said, we do what we have to for the people that we love.
15:18I know it sounds crazy, but...
15:21It's the only thing she's ever wanted in her life.
15:26Not sure I'd be up for being pregnant.
15:28I would support you, Vic.
15:29The whole family would.
15:30You'd get whatever you needed.
15:32Vic, what you could give to Sarah and the difference it would make to her life.
15:36I'm just not sure it's...
15:37You don't have to give me your answer now.
15:39I'm just asking, please, will you think about it?
15:42Please.
15:45Okay.
15:47I'll think about it.
15:50Charity stares at her desperately, then lowers her eyes.
15:54At home farm, Joe's sitting at the kitchen table, staring thoughtfully at investment proposal brochures spread out around his laptop.
16:03Ah, this is where you're hiding.
16:07Joe.
16:10Hello.
16:12Sorry, what did you say?
16:14I was just wondering where you were.
16:15Yeah.
16:16I just, erm...
16:17I'm really trying to concentrate.
16:18I've got a lot to get through.
16:20Well, anything I can help with?
16:22No.
16:23Okay.
16:24Well, Sam is out counting grouse.
16:27And Kim is with her friend on a tour of the estate.
16:30So, if you fancy freeing up some time in that busy diary of yours...
16:34Oh, just give it a rest.
16:35Whoa.
16:36Sorry, Dawn.
16:37What's up?
16:39There's a lot I'm trying to deal with right now.
16:42That's just the beginning.
16:43I'm hoping to expand even further once I've freed up some cash.
16:46Hmm.
16:47And is that what the Dubai money's for?
16:49No, that's all earmarked for investment, sadly.
16:52Nice walk?
16:53Yes.
16:54What I wouldn't do to live in a place like this.
16:58Dawn, now take Eddie through to the sitting room.
17:00Show him the old photos of the house.
17:02Hmm.
17:03After you.
17:05I'm sorry about earlier and yesterday.
17:09I'll forgive you this time.
17:11While I've got you, I have been doing some research on a potential investment for your Dubai money when it lands.
17:18Oh, yeah?
17:19Yeah, it's a little solar company based in Scotland.
17:23Thought it might be a good idea.
17:25Well, get us some brownie points.
17:27Yeah, well, I'll get a proposal together and we'll go through it tomorrow.
17:31Jo, I know it hasn't always been plain sailing since you came back, but I'm glad you did.
17:39It's good to have someone in my corner.
17:42At the cafe?
17:43If you could ring us when you get this message and the other nine I've sent, if it's not too much trouble.
17:50Thanks. Bye.
17:53Do you want my headphones?
17:55Right.
17:56That is it.
17:57She's laughing at this, Jimmy.
17:58If the organ grinder isn't available, I am calling the monkey.
18:03What?
18:04Cathy!
18:05You know what kids are like.
18:06She'll have her phone super glued to her eyeballs.
18:08And I got her number out of Angel.
18:11How much?
18:1220 quid.
18:13Don't say anything.
18:15Oh!
18:16It's engaged.
18:17All right, my love.
18:18Yeah, you keep on having a fantastic time.
18:20I love you loads.
18:21Is that Cathy?
18:22It is, yeah, yeah.
18:23You keep in touch.
18:24No, no, no, wait, wait, don't let go.
18:25Bye-bye, speak soon.
18:27Where have you been?
18:28Oh, blame me.
18:29Yeah, we had a bit of business to return to.
18:31Well, Lewis works for me, not you, unless you want to pay his wages.
18:34She's still having trouble getting hold of Brenda.
18:36You don't have to now.
18:37Yeah, we've got it all sorted, haven't we, mate?
18:39What do you mean?
18:40Well, Bob got in touch with Cathy and Brenda was with her.
18:43Finally! Is she going to ring us back?
18:45She doesn't have to now.
18:46Lewis has been on the phone to her for the past hour.
18:49What are you talking about?
18:50You don't know Brenda.
18:51You don't need to worry any more.
18:53She's agreed to sell.
18:54What?
18:55She's selling up?
18:56To who?
18:58Me.
19:00Nicola and Jimmy look shocked, but the wool pack...
19:04Bye, Bliss.
19:05Say it.
19:06Where have you been?
19:07Been trying to get hold of you.
19:08Harassing me.
19:09He's been talking me through the surrogate him and Robert used.
19:12I thought that wasn't an option.
19:14An agency might not be an option, but that doesn't mean we can't try online.
19:17Hang on, I thought we were going to concentrate on someone from the family.
19:20Not some random ass.
19:21I did say it was risky.
19:23Well, I've found someone already.
19:25Some woman from Brighton.
19:27Hang on, that sounds a bit sus.
19:29Who's going to agree to have a baby for a total stranger?
19:31Well, they managed to find someone.
19:33Well, maybe I've found someone closer to home.
19:37Who?
19:38Victoria.
19:39Vic's going to do it.
19:40Well, she's not said yes exactly, but then she's not said no either, so...
19:45Who's paying?
19:46At home farm.
19:47So, goodnight.
19:48You know, this has all taken me a bit by surprise.
19:51I pretty much resigned myself to waking up on my own every morning.
19:53Well, it just shows you you don't know what's round the corner.
19:56Hmm.

19:59Lord of the manor, master of all I survey.
20:02Oh, by the way, Kim's invited me to stay again this evening.
20:05I've spoken to her.
20:06Okay.
20:07Go on.
20:08I've laid out a proposition.
20:09Let's just hope that she doesn't see through it.
20:10How much?
20:11Enough to keep you off our backs for life.
20:13Oh, I've been to my own every morning.
20:14I've been to my own every morning.
20:15Well, it just shows you you don't know what's round the corner.

20:20Lord of the manor, master of all I survey.

20:38Do you think I'm an idiot?
20:40I'm not going anywhere until the cash is in the bank.
20:44And don't even think of double-crossing me.
20:47You know what I'm capable of.
20:50Who's for a champagne cocktail before dinner?
20:54Hey, I think we should go out.
20:56You and me?
20:57Yes.
20:58Give them some space.
21:00And we could talk.
21:01You don't mind, do you?
21:02Sounds wonderful.
21:04Right, I'll get ready.

21:15It'd be nice to spend some time alone.
