00:30Hiya.
00:34I heard you up in the night pacing around.
00:39What's wrong?
00:40Just something I need to get my head round.
00:44If it's still about cash, Joe paying for the electric should see us through Christmas and we'll worry about getting more in the new year.
00:52I've been worrying about Kim.
00:55Okay, we messed up.
00:58But she doesn't know that.
01:00We just need to move on and put that behind us.
01:04Trouble is, the way that she wants to move on makes me feel even worse.
01:10What do you mean?
01:12Kim's changed her will.
01:15She wants to leave me on farm.
01:17What do you mean you are?
01:21I'm not sure confronting Celia is such a good idea after all.
01:26It's what she deserves.
01:27We need answers.
01:28We can't get away with this.
01:30But is it the best way to stop her?
01:31She can't garage you to the police because she's the one that's bent.
01:34But she's putting my name to stuff so it looks like I'm in on it too.
01:38So we put a stop to it?
01:39You know, usually I'll be trying to hold you back, but this time I think you might be right.
01:45Right, so let's go before you change your mind.
01:47Okay.
01:47Come on.
01:48Right.
01:48Hey.
01:58Oh, cheers.
02:01Six days to Christmas.
02:03Listen, we're still family, yeah?
02:05We're still together.
02:06We've got things to celebrate.
02:08Morning.
02:10Well.
02:13You know why I'm here.
02:15Can't it wait?
02:16Oh, she knows the score.
02:19I wish I didn't.
02:20Just get me the money, I'll be on my way.
02:33You know, 20 grand was hard enough.
02:3620 grand, but two grand a week on top is too much.
02:38What's the deal?
02:40Well, we might need a bit more time in future.
02:42Hold on.
02:44It is every week.
02:45If you haven't got it, we have her back working until she's earned it.
02:52How can you do this to people?
02:54Keep your end of the bargain.
02:55If you can't, she's ours.
02:58You'll get your money.
03:00See you next week.
03:01I hate seeing you like this.
03:08We'll do anything to keep you with us.
03:11You know, we'll just have to hope the police get something on them soon.
03:13Same old, Emmerdale.
03:26Nothing changes.
03:27It's not really true, though, is it?
03:29You've changed.
03:30Starting to forget what that smile looked like before we left.
03:32Well, yeah, that's because I've got something to smile about now, despite the weather.
03:36Hmm.
03:36Starting to wonder if we should ever come back.
03:39It's our home, Robert.
03:41Or at least it will be when you move in.
03:43Welcome back!
03:44Hope you had a great holiday.
03:46Yeah.
03:46Best ever.
03:47Well, let's hope your crazy ex doesn't turn up again and ruin things.
03:50It's not going to happen.
03:51You seem pretty confident, considering he's a head case.
03:53Well, Kev's wanted by the police.
03:54He's not going to show his face around here again, is he?
03:56Look, forget him.
03:57Right?
03:58He's our past.
03:59We're concentrating on our future.
04:01Which, er, you might be able to help with.
04:03Because we've decided that it's time I move in here.
04:07Oh.
04:08Well, I guess I should say I'm going to miss you, but I'm not going to miss cleaning up your mess.
04:12In fact, come on and I'll help you move the rest of your stuff over.
04:15Right.
04:16Only me.
04:28Thought you'd be on your way to the airport by now.
04:31Er, no.
04:31Not until this afternoon.
04:33I've got to pick up Thomas from Laurels and finish off a few bits first.
04:36Well, don't let me slow you down.
04:38Enjoy your holiday.
04:41Kim, look, it's just a quick break.
04:43And if you're annoyed about being on your own for Christmas,
04:45I mean, I can always ask Mum to cancel.
04:47On the contrary.
04:48I'm looking forward to having the place to myself for once.
04:51Oh.
04:52Something arrived for you.
04:53Catch up on some reading.
04:56Get a little peace and quiet for a change.
05:01Think it might be ice as ashes.
05:03You on your own?
05:12We need to talk.
05:13Oh, don't start this again.
05:14You're not going to throw me out this time.
05:16Sarah deserves to know the truth.
05:18I've told you.
05:19Oh, for God's sake, Charity, stop burying your head in the sand.
05:21Just admit this baby might be yours or Max.
05:23Okay.
05:24Okay, fine.
05:25Yes, there is a chance.
05:28But I'm sorry.
05:29The truth is the last thing she needs.
05:31If I can present her with a healthy, happy kid,
05:35she's got everything she wants.
05:37Really?
05:38Yes.
05:38Because as far as she's concerned, it's hers.
05:41And that's what matters.
05:45You know, I'm having some private tests
05:46to check the baby's okay.
05:49Why would you need tests?
05:50You only had the scan yesterday.
05:52Just in case there was anything that didn't show up.
05:55I've had to make an appointment on Christmas Eve.
05:57That's the only thing they could offer.
05:59I don't understand.
06:01Look, I'm just trying to be extra careful.
06:03I want to make sure this baby is definitely okay
06:05for Sarah and Jake.
06:07Right, I'll leave you guys to it.
06:09We'll talk later.
06:10Yep, yep.
06:11Hey.
06:12Hey.
06:12Hey.
06:15Me and Jake have just been making more plans
06:17for the gender reveal party.
06:18Oh, I've got a bit of a problem with that.
06:21What do you mean?
06:22So I've got this really important brewery appointment
06:25on Christmas Eve.
06:26I can't let them down.
06:28Well, can you not just postpone it till the new year?
06:30I'm afraid I can't, though.
06:32Oh, Gran, you promised you'd be there.
06:33Look, I'll try and make the last half an hour if I can.
06:35No, I need you there from the start.
06:37You know, when I was your age,
06:39there were a lot of people who did not want to know
06:41if it was a boy or a girl until it was actually born.
06:43A bit like opening Christmas presents before the big day.
06:46I still can't believe Kim's going to leave you on farm.
06:55Except I've told her I can't accept it.
06:58So tell her you've changed your mind.
07:01But I haven't, Sam.
07:03I know you feel bad about what we did.
07:05So do I.
07:06But this is a chance to leave all that behind.
07:08Home farm has been part of my life since I was knee-high.
07:14My dad used to take me up there poaching.
07:16I was worried at first, but he said,
07:18they have so much,
07:21they're never going to miss a few pheasants, son.
07:23And he were right, because they owned everything.
07:26I don't need a history lesson, Sam.
07:28Happen you do.
07:30Because it's not just land and houses.
07:32They owned people and all.
07:34My dad went from porcher to gamekeeper.
07:37And I followed him.
07:39But we were still just tools in their box.
07:42Everything has to be how they want.
07:44Well, whatever they did,
07:45Kim ended up on crutches because of what we did.
07:47And it could have turned out much worse.
07:50But it didn't.
07:51And she's going to be all right.
07:53So in the end, there's no real harm done.
07:57You and me owning home farm,
07:59it's more than we could have ever dreamed of.
08:02You're not listening to me, Sam.
08:03It's not going to happen.
08:05But it could.
08:06You just say,
08:08thanks for being a great friend, Kim,
08:10and our whole life changes.
08:11Yeah, but I've not been a good friend, have I?
08:14I went behind her back.
08:15And because of what we did, Ice is dead.
08:17But she don't know that.
08:19Telling her's just going to upset her.
08:22She's not doing her any favours.
08:23What she don't know doesn't hurt her.
08:27I just don't think about it.
08:29Do we want to be scrabbling around for pennies for the rest of our lives?
08:32Or do we want to load it up in the big house?
08:34I need to get to home farm.
08:39So are you going to tell her the good news?
08:41No, Sam.
08:43We're scattering Ice's ashes.
08:45And she's going to need help getting into the fields on crutches.
08:47From April's dad, to keep her off the streets.
08:58We'll be paying the same every week.
09:01One born every minute.
09:03Oh, ho.
09:03I'm sure there'll be lots of dads like him in Wrexham.
09:09Wrexham?
09:10Yeah, I found us another farm down there.
09:12We're moving New Year's Day.
09:13Oh.
09:14Do we need to move that quick?
09:15Moira!
09:19Oh, and you brought back up.
09:20Come to take another swing at me or maybe a bit more spying.
09:24No.
09:25I just want to get away from all this.
09:26Because I've got no idea what you've dropped me into.
09:29Flogging turkeys is hardly a mystery.
09:31It's just business.
09:33It seems like funny business when you start putting things in Moira's name without even telling her.
09:37So what exactly are you accusing her of?
09:41What is your part in all of this, eh?
09:43Either you fancy Moira that doesn't even look like a farmer's car.
09:46Maybe it'd be easier to solve our problems by getting the police involved.
09:50Okay.
09:54Look, I can see you're both upset and that is the last thing I want.
09:59If you'll let me talk through things, I promise you it'll be worth your while to listen.
10:13Maybe this wasn't such a great idea, given the condition you're in.
10:21I need to do this for ice.
10:25It wasn't just my horse.
10:27It was my friend.
10:28I know how much he meant to you.
10:30You know, I'd talk to him more than I'd talk to any of that lot.
10:35Well, except you, of course.
10:38I'd tell him what was on my mind and somehow it made it easier to work out what to do.
10:45I remember you riding him on your wedding day.
10:47Well, that's a bittersweet memory, considering what happened to my marriage.
10:51Come on.
10:55Let's go do this.
11:01There is all of the paperwork I want you to look through.
11:05I admit I made some adjustments, so I want you to mark up anything that worries you.
11:12It's too late for any of that, Celia.
11:14I've told you I just went out of this deal.
11:16I can make that happen, but you will be losing a great deal of money.
11:22But at least I could sleep at night.
11:29If you check your bank balance, you will find I have transferred the last of the profits from the turkeys into your account.
11:38Right.
11:39Well, I suppose I should thank you for that.
11:42Good.
11:45And here.
11:46What's all that?
11:49A gesture of goodwill.
11:57No thanks.
12:00Come on, Cain, we're done here.
12:02You sure we shouldn't take the money?
12:03Oh, I'm quite sure.
12:12You're going to let that get away, wouldn't it?
12:13Have you met me?
12:15Of course not.
12:16But by the time they realise how deep a mess they're in, we will be long gone.
12:22We always loved the view from up here, overlooking the village.
12:43Look at my eyes.
12:52Look at my eyes.
12:57Thank you for all the good times.
12:58I've got a finance meeting, so I won't be able to make a Christmas party.
13:24It's a gender reveal party.
13:26It's really, really important to the both of us.
13:30Charity's already said she can't make it.
13:31Can't you just change your meeting?
13:32I'm sorry, I'm afraid not.
13:35I'll still foot the bill.
13:37It's you we want there, not your money.
13:41Your lunch, Eric.
13:42Oh, again.
13:43So I'll leave you to it, then.
13:49Time for that talk.
13:50I'll tell you what I want to talk about.
13:57Why everybody seems so determined to ruin Sarah's life.
14:00Mac deserves to know the truth, too.
14:02And that truth is going to destroy Sarah's dreams.
14:05Are you really that cruel?
14:07I didn't think so.
14:09Look, Sarah needs this to be her baby,
14:12so just let her carry on thinking that it is.
14:14I can't believe our grandparents don't care.
14:26What are we going to do to persuade them to cancel so they can be there?
14:29I guess we'll have to tell them we'll be celebrating something else.
14:31No, we can't.
14:32Look, we know she can't keep a secret,
14:34and we don't want the whole village finding out.
14:36Then we'll have to go ahead without her.
14:37No, we can't do that either, Jacob.
14:39They have to be there.
14:40We have to make this happen.
14:44You belong up here, Lydia.
14:51I know you love the place.
14:53Yeah, but I'd never even dreamed of owning it.
14:57I know.
14:58Well, I never dreamt of it when I was a stable girl.
15:01I think that makes it an even better surprise, don't you?
15:04Well, it won't be a great surprise for your family.
15:06They'll be expecting you to leave it to one of them.
15:09Exactly.
15:10They're just waiting for me to die.
15:12They think they're entitled to all of this, but you never would.
15:18You love the place for what it is.
15:21Do you really think they're all that greedy?
15:24As I've said before, I've made provisions, but they can sort their own lives out.
15:30Yeah, OK.
15:31Obviously, I was ruthless at the start, but when I thought I got what I was fighting for, I could enjoy it.
15:41But I had to go on fighting just to keep it.
15:45But it hasn't always been like that.
15:46You've had happy times here as well.
15:48Looking back, they were the worst.
15:53You think you've found who you were searching for, and it turns out it's just another shark plotting behind your back.
16:03It really was a good holiday, wasn't it?
16:05I feel ready for a fresh start.
16:07It sounds like a good reason for a Christmas backwarming party.
16:10Yeah, especially if we get Seb over for the day.
16:13Yeah, I think that might be a bit too much doubtful.
16:17You change your tune.
16:18I know, I think I've got a bit carried away with it all.
16:21You said you thought it was a good idea to contact his auntie Angela over Christmas.
16:24Yeah, I know, but Seb doesn't really know me, does he?
16:27And Angela might say that I've not really made much effort to contact him before, so...
16:31But she knows you've been away for a while.
16:33Well, yeah, but I'm an ex-con fresh out of prison.
16:36It's not really going to make her trust me, is it?
16:38Well, you're trying to build a new life and you want your son to be a part of it.
16:41What's wrong with that?
16:41I've still got to convince Angela to let me be part of his life.
16:44We've got to convince her, and we won't know until we ask her, will we?
16:48Yeah, I know.
16:50I know.
16:59You still here?
17:00Yeah, I just need to get mine and Thomas' passport.
17:03Well, get them and get out.
17:05All right.
17:08Oh, Lars, I finally got rid of them all.
17:14You might find you miss them all now.
17:16No chance.
17:18I'm going to enjoy the peace and quiet.
17:24But you're always welcome, Sam.
17:27Um, Lydia was saying that you two have been talking about the house.
17:32Thought she might have mentioned it.
17:37Are we celebrating something?
17:39Well, I hope so.
17:41If you can help me convince your wife that she's worth more than she thinks.
17:46I keep telling her that.
17:48Great.
17:49So, are you pleased I decided to leave her home farming my will?
17:55Oh, yeah.
17:56Of course I am.
17:58I mean, it's really generous of you, Kim.
18:02And I promise we'll look after the place just how you'd want.
18:05I know you will, Sam.
18:08The only problem is, she's too modest to take it.
18:12So I'm hoping you can help me persuade her.
18:20So, what do you say?
18:23Can I open the champagne now?
18:25Nothing anyone says will make me change my mind, Kim.
18:30I can't inherit home farm because I don't deserve it.
18:34Well, that's a matter of opinion.
18:37You won't think that when I tell you that Ice died because of me and Sam.
18:40We went behind you back to make a few quid and it was a death sentence for Ice and you ended up on crutches.
18:46This was all our fault.
18:50Yeah, it was nice.
18:51Yeah.
18:51Oh, I'll call you later, Laurel.
18:55I need you to start winding things up here.
19:01There's no rush, is there?
19:03No point sticking around, either.
19:05I have just got a good deal out of April's dad.
19:08Two grand a week, two grand a week just for knocking on his door.
19:11It would be a shame to lose that.
19:14My lovely boy.
19:19You have no imagination whatsoever, do you?
19:22What do you mean?
19:23If we take April with us to Wrexham, it will be even more incentive for her dad to keep paying us.
19:29You think of everything.
19:35Yes.
19:36And you don't.
19:38It weren't Lydia's fault, Kim.
19:40It were mine.
19:41It just seemed like easy money.
19:45I thought it would get us out of a hole.
19:50I never would have thought it would cause all this trouble.
19:53She went along with it.
19:55She didn't want to.
19:56And then everything just started to go wrong.
20:01I don't want to hear any of this.
20:03The bottom line is, you've betrayed me.
20:07Your employment here is over.
20:09Now just get out of my sight.
20:11I might have expected it of him.
20:20But I thought you were my friend.
20:23I am so sorry.
20:24Sorry?
20:27Just words.
20:29More lies.
20:31After everything I've done for you.
20:34If you needed something, you only had to ask.
20:37I thought you knew that.
20:38I don't have any excuses.
20:40You know what this place means to me.
20:43I thought you understood.
20:46It's everything I've ever worked for.
20:49Everything I love.
20:52I was ready to give it all to you.
20:55Just tell me what I need to do to make things up to you.
20:58Nothing you can do can make things like they were.
21:04I have made that mistake before.
21:07I'm never going to trust anyone again after this.
21:10You're sacked.
21:13I don't want to see you up here again.
21:15You're right.
21:16It's just words.
21:17I'm sorry.
21:18But you will never know how sorry I am.
21:21How much I wish that none of this had ever happened.
21:25Oh, and Lydia.
21:27I really wanted to believe that you were different from the rest.
21:31I really wanted to believe that you were different from the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the rest of the
