00:30Do you want me to call in sick? Skip work so we can spend some time together?
00:36We've all been so busy recently, haven't we? Barely even saw you yesterday.
00:40Well, if you hadn't got back so late from that scrap run, we could have spent time together last night.
00:45Shall we do lunch?
00:47Er, I need to run. I'll, erm, I'll call you.
01:00I know I said a good way but I don't know if I can handle it. You and him. Not here.
01:03Tell him now. We can do it together.
01:06The sooner we tell him, the sooner he can get his head round us.
01:08I just said not here.
01:15Nineteen hours since Charity kicked me out. Still no message.
01:19Mackenzie, you know that you're always welcome here. But you can't just leave things the way they are. Charity's vulnerable right now and she needs your support.
01:27All I did was tell the truth.
01:29Well, maybe if you didn't change your mind so much you wouldn't be in this position.
01:32Moira, Moira. I tried to get on board with this. Really, I did.
01:36But my wife has been so obsessed with carrying a baby for Jacob and Sarah that she forgot the anniversary of when we lost our child.
01:42I'm not gonna pretend that I'm okay with that. One lie too many. No.
01:47If now's not a good time, I can...
01:50No, no. Celia, it's always a pleasure.
01:53It's really good to see you, Celia. Do you want a coffee?
01:56No, thank you.
01:58Er, I've just been speaking with my friend. The Spa Hotel loves our products so much, they want more.
02:05How much, Moira?
02:06I'm about to go and finalise the deal, but Moira, you should brace yourself.
02:10It's gonna be big.
02:12Think you can scale up production?
02:14Yeah. With what they've agreed to pay, yeah, we can do anything.
02:17A woman after my own heart.
02:19Oh, if your order's ready, I can pop it over with mine.
02:22I guess you'd that be really helpful. And can you let them know that we still need payment for the first delivery?
02:27Of course. I have a good feeling about this.
02:35It went too far. We both got carried away.
02:41It was more than that. You know it was.
02:46I know you don't want to hear this.
02:48I know I'm sorry, but that can't happen again.
02:52I know who you want. I know what you want. We both do.
02:57We can go easy on John. We can go away for a couple of weeks, so I'm not rubbing it in his face.
03:01How many times? I love my husband.
03:04Yeah, I know you don't want to hurt him, but if he was in love with someone else, wouldn't you want to know?
03:09You really think it's that easy?
03:11All you have to do is tell the truth.
03:15I'll be waiting.
03:22Okay, we'll draw up the paperwork now and we'll be ready to go when we reach an agreement.
03:27What agreement?
03:29Hmm?
03:30Oh, I've got lunch by the way. You want it from the hide?
03:35That was Kim's land agent.
03:37When the sale for Moira's farm and Annie's field go through, we need to hit the ground running.
03:43Which part of I'd rather starve than sell to Kim don't you get?
03:47It's tactics.
03:49They are trying to keep us on tender hooks so they can try and screw another couple of grand out of Kim.
03:53Or maybe they just don't want to sell.
03:55Everyone and everything has its price.
03:57Until it doesn't.
03:59Look, Moira's put years into that business.
04:01It's not just her livelihood, it's her home.
04:05And Robert and Vic, they have ties to that field. It's all they've got left from their family legacy.
04:09Kim has asked me to acquire that land.
04:12That's what I'm going to do.
04:15Any way I can.
04:20Right, so you can go and get a coffee, but you can't get started on these cars.
04:24Ah, yes, but it's bringing a boot to your boss day. Didn't you know?
04:28No, I'll tell you what I do know. Belle's just messaged me.
04:31She's stuck at home, the car's knackered, so...
04:34You can take the tow truck.
04:36You want me to go?
04:38You got a problem with that?
04:39No.
04:40OK, so get a move on.
04:41She's got a meeting she needs to get to.
04:43And, er...
04:44Thanks for the ring.
04:45Have you heard the latest? The police are asking questions again.
04:54I've told you what I know. I've handed over his medical records. I'm not sure what else I can do to help.
04:59I thought the investigation was over.
05:01We've discovered that the suicide note was saved on Mr Michael's computer after his confirmed time of death.
05:07I see.
05:08Well, technology, internet, there's always some kind of glitch, right?
05:12Maybe.
05:14But there may be some other explanations we need to determine.
05:16If anything does come to mind, you know what I am.
05:18Are they trying to say someone tampered with Owen or with his laptop?
05:34Possibly.
05:36It's Cain and Tracey I feel for.
05:39If the police don't crack this, there is no chance of closure for either of them.
05:48Oh, at last. I was waiting for you to call.
05:54You make the delivery?
05:56I did.
05:58And did you, er... Did you chase payment? Because I'm already late with my latest instalment for this morning.
06:02Moira!
06:04The hotel rejected our delivery.
06:07Apparently the head chef thinks our products are overpriced.
06:11What, for grass-fed beef? Free range poultry?
06:14Come on, we sweated buckets over this.
06:18Overseen production ourselves.
06:19I am so sorry.
06:21My friend feels terrible, but the ultimate decision was taken out of her hands.
06:26You can't just cancel on us. We signed a contract.
06:29I read the small print.
06:31It's a cooling off clause.
06:33I thought that was just a formality.
06:34So now you're telling me that I've got to write off thousands of pounds that we can't afford?
06:40I am so sorry to have put you in this position, but it looks like that's our only option.
06:49It was bad enough thinking some randomer had killed him and now this.
06:53At least I've done the job in the first place.
06:56Hey, everything alright?
06:58No.
07:00DC Cole was asking more questions at the surgery about Nate's death.
07:04This is too much. We've only just laid him to rest.
07:07I can't even imagine how difficult this must be for you both if there's anything I can do.
07:11If I'm in the next killer for starters.
07:13This is horrible.
07:15If it really wasn't Owen then the police are gonna have to start again from scratch.
07:18Who else could it be?
07:25Yeah.
07:33Look, I...
07:35Charity's upset with me because I lied to her.
07:38But I only lied to her because I didn't want to hurt her.
07:41I know my world has crashed into a million pieces and I guess it is a little bit silly of me to think that my best mate might even be a little bit interested in what I've got to say.
07:51That's...
07:53Oh, sorry.
07:55Go on. So...
07:56Charity's chucked you out. Now what?
07:58Well, I need to...
08:00I need to get my hood...
08:02Back on track.
08:03I've got this mate down in London who's...
08:06Who's got a stag party and he invited me to it. I wasn't gonna go but...
08:11What are you doing, Aaron?
08:15Are you texting Robert?
08:16Yeah, he's texting me.
08:17And what are you texting him about?
08:20Please tell me you didn't.
08:22Yes, I did. I made a mistake.
08:25Another massive mistake.
08:26Another massive mistake?
08:27Okay, I didn't tell you that.
08:31So we kissed.
08:33On my wedding day.
08:35Before I got married.
08:37It was just a kiss.
08:39Just a kiss.
08:40Nothing to worry about then.
08:41Did you...
08:42Did you at least tell John?
08:43Well, no, I didn't.
08:44Because Robert told John when he went to see him in prison.
08:46Well, that doesn't surprise me.
08:47We'd got past it.
08:49And then you decided to make another massive mistake?
08:52Yesterday, I found Robert at Vic's and he was...
08:55He'd lost it. He was smashing the place.
08:56So I was trying to calm him down.
08:57Well, I know a good way of calming him down is by taking your clothes off.
09:00Is it?
09:01Did you at least take off your wedding room before it happened?
09:03Mackenzie, shut up.
09:04I feel bad enough as it is, you know.
09:06And now Robert seems to think we're getting back together.
09:09Of course he does.
09:10But you don't want that.
09:11No, I don't.
09:13But you want to stay married.
09:14And it's John that you love.
09:15Yes.
09:16It is, yeah.
09:17When you pick the rings up, make sure they're the right size this time, yeah?
09:20Yeah, yeah, of course.
09:22And, er, I'm gonna go see Belle about the flowers.
09:24You good with rustic glam, yeah?
09:25Yep.
09:26Whatever you want.
09:27What I want is if you stop wincing every time you move.
09:30Should've gone to the police.
09:31What Cammie did, that's assault, you know.
09:33Well, it's not as bad as what it looks.
09:34And I know you didn't want Mandy to know, but if she knew, what kind of violent bully he is.
09:38Yeah, look, I told you, Cammie.
09:39I started it, so please just leave it, yeah?
09:41Well, if he was a good friend, he would've owned up.
09:43Well, he's not, is he?
09:44Yeah.
09:45Not anymore.
09:46Well, you don't need him anyway.
09:48Because we've got each other, haven't we?
09:50Best friends till the end, right?
09:52I thought you said you wouldn't have time for lunch.
10:07Well, now I have.
10:08Oh, but if you want to be left alone, of course that.
10:11I'm sorry.
10:13No.
10:14No.
10:15No.
10:16I'm sorry.
10:18I'm just a bit...
10:20It's all got so...
10:23I'm just ridiculously stressed right now.
10:26Okay.
10:27Is it work or is it something else?
10:31This...
10:32This new development into Nate.
10:34I mean, Tracy and Kay thought it was all over and now this.
10:38Since...
10:39Anthony...
10:40It's just been one thing after another.
10:42I've had to stay strong for you.
10:44For Ruby.
10:45I was just about holding on myself and then we found out about Nate.
10:50The whole family has been hanging by a thread for months.
10:54I've just tried to support you all but...
10:58John, I'm sorry.
11:00You have any idea how exhausting it is?
11:03All I do is give and give.
11:07I can't deal with it.
11:08I can't do it anymore.
11:10You're only in this state because of me and my family.
11:14No, no.
11:15It's not your fault.
11:17We're just married.
11:19This should be our time.
11:21We've put everything else behind us and now Robert's in my face all the time.
11:25I've tried to be alright with it.
11:27I've tried to be the bigger person but he's just always there.
11:30I can't see an end to it.
11:31I can.
11:37We can sort this, you know.
11:40All we have to do is pack our bags and we leave the village tomorrow.
12:03Except that we supplied that produce in good faith.
12:08And that's your final offer, is it?
12:10Well, it doesn't look like I have much choice.
12:15Are they going to pay?
12:20Only half of what they owe.
12:22I needed that money.
12:25Me too.
12:28I wish I'd never listened to my friend.
12:30I wish I'd never taken that order.
12:32Moira, what little money they're offering, I want you to have it.
12:37No.
12:39No, we're in this together.
12:40Please.
12:41I insist.
12:42It's the least I could do.
12:44And I promise, the next job we do together, I will get payment up front.
12:49Or we could just cut our losses and get out of the game.
12:52Oh, come on.
12:53After one bad experience, where's your fighting spirit?
12:57Every day's a struggle.
12:59And now this.
13:01Maybe I should just tap out before I'm knocked out.
13:03Your family, your mates, your home.
13:11It's all here.
13:13I know.
13:15What about work?
13:17Well, so smart with, innit?
13:21Are you sure you'll be alright?
13:24Just the two of us, me and you, together?
13:27Well, if I wasn't, I wouldn't have married you, would I?
13:30I just hate seeing you this low.
13:32And that's all because of me and my family, so...
13:37Just let me try and fix it.
13:38Please.
13:39But you shouldn't have to.
13:41I thought I was stronger than this, and...
13:44I'm so sorry.
13:45Aye.
13:47Don't ever, ever apologise.
13:51Not to me.
13:53I'm not gonna let anything or anyone break us.
13:57I want us to work, John.
13:59And if that means...
14:01...starting afresh somewhere else, then...
14:05...then that's what we do.
14:06Mmm!
14:07Got the rings, then?
14:08Yeah, I'll just put them away until the big day.
14:09Oh, don't be daft.
14:10I'll give a look.
14:11Well, it's unlucky to see you a minute before the ceremony.
14:12No, that's the dress.
14:14What?
14:15Oh, these are nothing like ours.
14:16Oh, these are nothing like ours.
14:17I'm gonna have to give the jewellers a call.
14:18They're useless.
14:19No, no, no, Gabby, don't do that.
14:20Um...
14:21There's something I need to tell you.
14:22I've been lying to you and I can't do it anymore.
14:23Lying about what?
14:24Well, you see, the rings didn't need resizing.
14:25I...I lost them.
14:26What?
14:28Well, I stopped for a coffee on the way home and I left the bag underneath the table.
14:29I'm gonna have to give the jewellers a call.
14:30I'm gonna have to give the jewellers a call.
14:31They're useless.
14:32No, Gabby, don't do that.
14:33Erm...
14:34There's something I need to tell you.
14:36I've been lying to you and I can't do it anymore.
14:39Lying about what?
14:41Well, you see, the rings didn't need resizing.
14:45I...I lost them.
14:47What?
14:48Well, I stopped for a coffee on the way home and I left the bag underneath the table.
14:53I just didn't want to upset you, so I...I lied.
14:59I put myself time to replace them, but our rings were a one-off.
15:04Hey, these are two.
15:06Look, I'm so sorry I've been stupid, Anna.
15:09But...you...you don't mind?
15:12You made a mistake.
15:13These things happen.
15:15Er...turn the engine over for me.
15:22Yes, brilliant.
15:26And you can haul onto these, yeah?
15:29Keep them in your car for next time.
15:31Well, there's not gonna be a next time.
15:33I promise you the next time the red light comes up, I'm bringing it straight in.
15:36Thanks for getting me back on the road.
15:39At least I got that right, eh?
15:41I know that what you said to me was just meant to be a drag.
15:44Making sheep cracks about people's mental health, it's...not funny.
15:49And there's way more to you than your mental health struggles.
15:52You're a cracking woman down.
15:54And if I was lucky enough to get in the shot of coffee with you, I'd be way more respectful.
16:01What about lunch?
16:03I'll call you, yeah?
16:05Yeah, I do.
16:06I'm glad Ken sent you.
16:08Me too.
16:09I know it's what Charity wants, and I want to want it too, for her sake.
16:15It's just that then we hit the anniversary of when we lost our baby.
16:19And it all got a little bit too real.
16:21Well, I thought I was handling it, but it turns out I wasn't.
16:26Oh, and I'm really sorry that you feel like that.
16:28Well, there's nothing I can do to change it.
16:31It's up to me to give in.
16:34Liam, you got a minute?
16:36Erm, I should have mentioned this at work, and I know it's short notice, but I'm owed some annual leave.
16:41I was hoping I could take a couple of weeks.
16:44From tomorrow.
16:45We just, we need a break.
16:47And John's managed to find us a cottage.
16:50Absolutely.
16:51Yeah.
16:52It's, er, part of our practice mission statement.
16:54Annual leave is essential for mental health.
16:56So I'll, er, make a note of it.
16:58Thanks, Liam.
17:00A couple of pints, please.
17:05So you're going away?
17:06Yeah.
17:07Any particular reason?
17:09Just for fun.
17:11But if we like the area, then we're gonna stay on.
17:16Well, that's nice.
17:17Always does take more than a couple of weeks to properly unwind, doesn't it?
17:19Actually, we were thinking about something a bit more long term.
17:23We need a fresh start.
17:25So, we're moving away.
17:28Oh.
17:29A bit nice for you to make an appointment next time you drop by, but okay.
17:41I have an update.
17:43Go on then.
17:45I've just told Moira she's laid out thousands of pounds on an order that won't be paid.
17:50And she doesn't suspect?
17:52She delivered three orders without asking for a penny up front and she didn't read the contract properly.
17:57The woman's a fool.
17:59Wait, you're using Celia to get Moira?
18:01Under Kim's Express instructions.
18:03Yeah.
18:04She's all over this.
18:05And I prefer the term cooperating with.
18:08So, Moira.
18:10What's her survivability?
18:12She won't make her water fine payment, let alone feed her livestock, so my guess is it'll be all over within a week.
18:19Excellent.
18:20Well done.
18:21Kim messaged me, assured me our deal is still...
18:24Deal?
18:25Six months no rent, with the option to lease any extra land if she wants.
18:29Well, good work Celia.
18:32I'll inform Kim and we'll get back to you.
18:35A pleasure.
18:39Fake deals, are you serious?
18:42Working under Kim's instruction, which was to wait for Moira to get this close to bankruptcy and then move in.
18:51For a final lifeline.
18:52She's got no choice but to sell.
18:54So you're gonna ruin someone's life just so you can get your hands on some land?
18:57She had the choice to do this the easy way.
19:00She brought this on herself.
19:03And Kim always gets what she wants.
19:06I'm not going far, Mum.
19:08We'll be back to see you and Eve.
19:10So stay put.
19:11Try and work through whatever it is that's made you want to leave.
19:14Trust me, we've tried.
19:15And if Aaron hadn't suggested leaving, I would have carried on trying.
19:19Yeah, because it's not right.
19:20After everything you've done for us, it's time for me to step up and look after you for a change.
19:25He's right.
19:27Everything you've done, we will always be very grateful.
19:30And I suppose having Robert back can't help, can it?
19:33But I just don't want either of you to go.
19:35I know.
19:36But like I said, we need a new start.
19:38And somewhere that hasn't got a lot of bad memories.
19:41Well, wherever it is that you find, make sure you've got lots of spare rooms, okay?
19:46Because you're not going to be short of visitors.
19:51She seems upset.
19:53You are sure about this?
19:54Yeah.
19:55Same again.
19:56Right, okay, so you ran off into the sunset leaving all your problems behind.
20:09It's bound to work, isn't it?
20:10Well, I can't just stay here and risk John finding out, can I?
20:13That you love someone else.
20:14I owe him, right?
20:17Or maybe you owe it to yourself.
20:20Because I'll tell you this much, Aaron.
20:22If you didn't love Robert, you wouldn't be running away.
20:25That's not really any way to fix it, is it?
20:28Hang on a minute.
20:29You're the one who's legging it away to London.
20:31Some stag-dover, haven't you?
20:32I saw it out with your missus, so why don't you tell me?
20:36I'm so sorry.
20:38It must be heartbreaking.
20:43You both thought this was finished.
20:47I just can't believe it's not over.
20:50So, if it wasn't Owen, then does that mean the killer's just sat there laughing at us?
20:56If they are still out there, they'd better pray the police get to them before I do.
21:08Hey, it's me.
21:15I could do with some help again.
21:18I'll message you the details.
21:21But there's a loose end that needs tidying up.
21:24Tomorrow.
21:25Jodie Whittaker stars in our gripping new thriller, as a woman's work of fiction tells terrifying truths in one night, streaming now on MTVX.
21:55And we'll see you next time.
21:56We'll see you next time.
21:57We'll see you next time.
21:58Bye.
21:59Bye.
