00:00Ah, yeah.
00:30I heard you up in the night, pacing around.
00:34What's wrong with me?
00:36Just something I need to get my head round.
00:39If it's still about cash,
00:41Joe paying for the electric should see us through Christmas
00:43and we'll worry about getting more in the new year.
00:47I've been worrying about Kim.
00:50OK, we messed up.
00:53But she doesn't know that.
00:55We just need to move on and put that behind us.
00:57Trouble is,
01:00the way that she wants to move on
01:02makes me feel even worse.
01:05What do you mean?
01:07Kim's changed her will.
01:10She wants to leave me on farm.
01:16Ready when you are.
01:18I'm not sure confronting Celia is such a good idea after all.
01:21It's what she deserves.
01:22We need answers. We can't, like, get away with this.
01:25But is it the best way to stop her?
01:26She can't garage you to the police
01:28because she's the one that's bent.
01:30Ah, but she's putting my name to stuff
01:31so it looks like I'm in on it too.
01:33Right, so we put a stop to it.
01:35You know,
01:36usually I'll be trying to hold you back
01:38but this time I think you might be right.
01:40Right, so let's go before you change your mind.
01:42OK.
01:42Come on.
01:43Right.
01:43Hey.
01:53Oh, cheers.
01:56Six days to Christmas.
01:58Listen, we're still family, yeah?
02:01We're still together.
02:01We've got things to celebrate.
02:03Morning!
02:03Well...
02:06You know why I'm here.
02:10Can't you wait?
02:12Ah, she knows the score.
02:14I wish I didn't.
02:16Just get me the money, I'll be on my way.
02:17You know,
02:2920 grand was hard enough.
02:3120 grand,
02:31but two grand a week on top
02:32is too much.
02:33What's the deal?
02:35Well, we might need a bit more time in future.
02:37Hold on.
02:39It is every week.
02:41If you haven't got it,
02:42we have her back working
02:43until she's earned it.
02:44How can you do this to people?
02:49Keep your end of the bargain.
02:50If you can't,
02:51she's ours.
02:53You'll get your money.
02:55See you next week.
03:01I hate seeing you like this.
03:03We'll do anything to keep you with us.
03:06You know,
03:06we'll just have to hope the police
03:08get something on them soon.
03:09Eh.
03:14Same old, Emmerdale.
03:21Nothing changes.
03:23It's not really true, though, is it?
03:24You've changed.
03:25I'm starting to forget
03:26what that smile looked like
03:27before we left.
03:27Yeah, that's because
03:28I've got something to smile about now.
03:30Despite the weather.
03:31Hmm.
03:32I'm starting to wonder
03:32if we should ever come back.
03:34It's our home, Robert.
03:36Or at least it will be
03:36when you move in.
03:38Welcome back!
03:39Hope you had a great holiday.
03:41Yeah.
03:41Best ever.
03:42Well, let's hope your crazy ex
03:43doesn't turn up again
03:44and ruin things.
03:45It's not going to happen.
03:46You seem pretty confident
03:47considering he's a head case.
03:48Well, Kev's wanted by the police.
03:49He's not going to show his face
03:50around here again, is he?
03:51Look, forget him.
03:52Right?
03:53He's our past.
03:54We're concentrating on our future.
03:56Which, er,
03:57you might be able to help with
03:58because we've decided
03:59that it's time I move in here.
04:02Aw.
04:03Well, I guess I should say
04:04I'm going to miss you
04:05but I'm not going to miss
04:05cleaning up your mess.
04:07In fact, come on
04:08and I'll help you
04:08move the rest of your stuff over.
04:10Right.
04:12Only me.
04:23I thought you'd be on your way
04:24to the airport by now.
04:26Er, no.
04:26Not until this afternoon.
04:28I've got to pick up Thomas
04:29from Laurels
04:29and finish off a few bits first.
04:31Well, don't let me slow you down.
04:33Enjoy your holiday.
04:34Kim, look, it's just a quick break.
04:38And if you're annoyed
04:39about being on your own
04:40for Christmas,
04:40I mean, I can always ask Mum
04:41to cancel.
04:42On the contrary.
04:43I'm looking forward
04:44to having the place
04:45to myself for once.
04:46Oh, something arrived for you.
04:49Catch up on some reading.
04:52Get a little peace
04:53and quiet for a change.
04:55Think it might be ice as ashes.
05:04You on your own?
05:07We need to talk.
05:08Oh, don't start this again.
05:09You're not going to throw me out this time.
05:11Sarah deserves to know the truth.
05:13I've told you.
05:13Oh, for God's sake,
05:14Charity, stop burying your head in the sand.
05:16Just admit this baby
05:17might be yours and Max.
05:18OK.
05:19OK, fine, yes.
05:21There is a chance.
05:23But I'm sorry,
05:24the truth is the last thing she needs.
05:27If I can present her
05:28with a healthy, happy kid,
05:30she's got everything she wants.
05:32Really?
05:33Yes.
05:33Because as far as she's concerned,
05:35it's hers.
05:36And that's what matters.
05:40You know, I'm having some private tests
05:42to check the baby's OK.
05:44Why would you need tests?
05:46You only had the scan yesterday.
05:47Just in case there was anything
05:49that didn't show up.
05:51I've had to make an appointment
05:51on Christmas Eve.
05:52That's the only thing they could offer.
05:54I don't understand.
05:56Look, I'm just trying to be extra careful.
05:58I want to make sure this baby
05:59is definitely OK
06:00for Sarah and Jake.
06:02Right, I'll leave you guys to it.
06:04We'll talk later.
06:05Yeah, yeah.
06:06Hey.
06:07Hey.
06:07Hey.
06:10Me and Jake have just been making more plans
06:12for the gender reveal party.
06:14Oh, I've got a bit of a problem with that.
06:16What do you mean?
06:17So I've got this really important brewery appointment
06:20on Christmas Eve.
06:21I can't let them down.
06:23Well, can you not just postpone it
06:24till the New Year?
06:25I'm afraid I can't, though.
06:27Oh, Gran, you promised you'd be there.
06:28Look, I'll try and make the last half an hour
06:30if I can.
06:30No, I need you there from the start.
06:32You know, when I was your age,
06:34there were a lot of people
06:35who did not want to know
06:36if it was a boy or a girl
06:37until it was actually born.
06:38A bit like opening Christmas presents
06:40before the big day.
06:41I still can't believe
06:49Kim's going to leave you on farm.
06:50Except I've told her I can't accept it.
06:54So tell her you've changed your mind.
06:56But I haven't, Sam.
06:58I know you feel bad about what we did.
07:00So do I.
07:01But this is a chance to leave all that behind.
07:05Home farm has been part of my life
07:07since I'm a knee-high.
07:09My dad used to take me up there poaching.
07:11I was worried at first,
07:13but he said,
07:14they have so much,
07:16they're never going to miss
07:16a few pheasants, son.
07:18And he were right,
07:19because they owned everything.
07:21I don't need a history lesson, Sam.
07:23Happen you do.
07:25Because it's not just land and houses,
07:27they owned people and all.
07:29My dad went from poacher
07:31to gamekeeper,
07:33and I followed him.
07:34But we were still just tools in their box,
07:37everything has to be how they want.
07:39Well, whatever they did,
07:40Kim ended up on crutches
07:41because of what we did.
07:43And it could have turned out much worse.
07:45But it didn't.
07:46And she's going to be all right.
07:48So in the end,
07:49there's no real harm done.
07:52You and me owning home farm,
07:54it's more than we could have ever dreamed of.
07:57You're not listening to me, Sam.
07:58It's not going to happen.
08:00But it could.
08:01You just say,
08:03thanks for being a great friend, Kim,
08:05and our own life changes.
08:06Yeah, but I've not been a good friend, have I?
08:08I went behind her back.
08:10And because of what we did,
08:11Ice is dead.
08:12But she don't know that.
08:15Telling her's just going to upset her.
08:17She's not doing her any favours.
08:19What she don't know
08:20doesn't hurt her.
08:22So,
08:23think about it.
08:24Do we want to be
08:25scrabbling around for pennies
08:26for the rest of our lives?
08:28Or do we want to load it up
08:29in the big house?
08:31I need to get to own farm.
08:32Ahem.
08:34So,
08:35are you going to tell her the good news?
08:36No, Sam.
08:38We're scattering Ice's ashes.
08:40And she's going to need help
08:41getting into the fields on crutches.
08:42From April's dad
08:51to keep her off the streets.
08:53He'll be paying the same
08:54every week.
08:56One born every minute.
08:58Oh,
08:58I'm sure there'll be lots of dads
09:01like him in Wrexham.
09:04Wrexham?
09:05Yeah,
09:05I found us another farm down there.
09:07We're moving New Year's Day.
09:08Oh,
09:09do we need to be back quick?
09:13Moira!
09:14Oh,
09:14and you brought back up.
09:15Come to take another swing at me
09:17or maybe a bit more spying.
09:19No,
09:20I just want to get away
09:21from all this
09:21because I've got no idea
09:22what you've dropped me into.
09:24Flogging turkeys
09:25is hardly a mystery.
09:26It's just business.
09:28It seems like funny business
09:29when you start putting things
09:30in Moira's name
09:30without even telling her.
09:32So,
09:32what exactly
09:33are you accusing her of?
09:36What's your part
09:37in all of this?
09:38Eh?
09:39Either you fancy Moira
09:40doesn't even look like
09:40a farmer's car.
09:41Maybe it'd be easier
09:43to solve our problems
09:44by getting the police involved.
09:45Okay.
09:49Look,
09:49I can see you're both upset
09:50and that is the last thing I want.
09:54If you'll let me talk through things,
09:56I promise you
09:57it'll be worth your while to listen.
09:58Maybe this wasn't such a great idea
10:14given the condition you're in.
10:15I need to do this for Ice.
10:20It wasn't just my horse.
10:22It was my friend.
10:23I know how much he meant to you.
10:25You know,
10:27I talked to him
10:27more than I talked to
10:28any of that lot.
10:30Well,
10:31except you,
10:31of course.
10:34I'd tell him
10:34what was on my mind
10:35and
10:36somehow it
10:37made it easier
10:38to work out
10:39what to do.
10:40I remember you riding him
10:41on your wedding day.
10:43Well,
10:43that's a bittersweet memory
10:44considering what happened
10:46to my marriage.
10:48Come on.
10:50Let's go do this.
10:56There
10:57is all of the paperwork
10:58I want you to look through.
11:00I admit
11:01I made some adjustments,
11:02so
11:02I want you to mark up
11:04anything
11:05that worries you.
11:07It's too late
11:08for any of that, Celia.
11:09I've told you
11:10I just went out of this deal.
11:12I can make that happen,
11:13but
11:13you will be losing
11:15a great deal of money.
11:18But at least
11:18I could sleep at night.
11:24If you check
11:25your bank balance,
11:26you will find
11:27I have transferred
11:28the last of the profits
11:29from the turkeys
11:30into your account.
11:33Right.
11:34Well,
11:35I suppose
11:35I should thank you
11:36for that.
11:38Good.
11:40And here.
11:42What's all that?
11:44A jester of goodwill.
11:52No thanks.
11:55Come on, Cain,
11:56we're done here.
11:57You sure we shouldn't
11:58take the money?
11:59Oh, I'm quite sure.
12:07You're going to let it
12:08get away with it?
12:08Have you met me?
12:10Of course not.
12:11But by the time
12:13they realise
12:13how deep a mess
12:14they're in,
12:16we will be long gone.
12:17We always loved
12:34the view
12:35from up here
12:35overlooking
12:37the village.
12:38Look at my eyes.
12:52Thank you
12:52for all the good times.
13:00I'll never forget you.
13:02I've got a finance
13:15meeting so
13:16I won't be able
13:18to make a Christmas
13:18party.
13:20It's a gender reveal
13:20party.
13:22It's really,
13:23really important
13:23to the both of us.
13:25Charity's already said
13:25she can't make it.
13:26Can't you just
13:26change your meeting?
13:27I'm sorry,
13:28I'm afraid not.
13:30I'll still
13:31foot the bill.
13:31It's you
13:32we want there,
13:33not your money.
13:36Your lunch, Eric.
13:37Oh,
13:38again.
13:41So I'll
13:41leave you to it then.
13:44Time for that talk.
13:50I'll tell you
13:51what I want to talk about.
13:52Why everybody
13:53seems so determined
13:54to ruin Sarah's life.
13:55Mac deserves
13:56to know the truth too.
13:57And that truth
13:58is going to destroy
13:59Sarah's dreams.
14:00Are you really
14:00that cruel?
14:01I didn't think so.
14:04Look,
14:05Sarah needs this
14:06to be her baby
14:07so just let her
14:07carry on thinking
14:08that it is.
14:18I can't believe
14:19our grandparents
14:19don't care.
14:21What are we going to do
14:22to persuade them
14:22to cancel
14:23so they can be there?
14:24I guess we'll have to
14:25tell them we'll be
14:25celebrating something else.
14:26No, we can't.
14:27Look, we know
14:27she can't keep a secret
14:28and we don't want
14:29the whole village
14:30finding out.
14:31Then we'll have to
14:31go ahead with that.
14:32No, we can't do that either.
14:33Jacob, they have to be there.
14:35We have to make this happen.
14:36You belong up here, Lydia.
14:46I know you love the place.
14:49Yeah, but I've never even dreamed
14:50of owning it.
14:52I know.
14:53Well, I never dreamt of it
14:54when I was a stable girl.
14:56I think that makes it
14:57an even better surprise,
14:59don't you?
14:59Well, it won't be a great surprise
15:00for your family.
15:01They'll be expecting you
15:02to leave it to one of them.
15:04Exactly.
15:05They're just waiting
15:06for me to die.
15:08They think they're entitled
15:09to all of this.
15:11But you never would.
15:13You love the place
15:14for what it is.
15:16Do you really think
15:17they're all that greedy?
15:19As I've said before,
15:20I've made provisions.
15:22But they can sort
15:23their own lives out.
15:26Yeah, OK.
15:27I was ruthless
15:28at the start.
15:29But when I thought
15:31I got what I was fighting for,
15:33I could enjoy it.
15:36But I had to go on fighting
15:38just to keep it.
15:40But it hasn't always
15:41been like that.
15:41You've had happy times
15:42here as well.
15:45Looking back,
15:46they were the worst.
15:48You think you've found
15:49who you were searching for
15:51and it turns out
15:53it's just another shark
15:54plotting behind your back.
15:56It really was
15:59a good holiday,
15:59wasn't it?
16:00I feel ready
16:00for a fresh start.
16:02It sounds like
16:03a good reason
16:03for a Christmas
16:04backwarming party.
16:06Especially if we get
16:06Seb over for the day.
16:08Yeah, I think that
16:09might be a bit
16:10too much to hope for.
16:12Will you change your tune?
16:13I know, I think I've
16:14got a bit carried away
16:15with it all.
16:16You said you thought
16:17it was a good idea
16:18to contact his
16:18auntie Angela
16:19over Christmas.
16:19Yeah, I know,
16:20but Seb doesn't
16:20really know me, does he?
16:22And Angela might say
16:23that I've not really
16:23made much effort
16:24to contact him before,
16:25so...
16:26But she knows
16:26you've been away
16:28for a while.
16:29Well, yeah,
16:29but I'm an ex-con
16:30fresh out of prison.
16:31It's not really
16:32going to make her
16:32trust me, is it?
16:33You're trying to
16:34build a new life
16:34and you want your
16:35son to be a part of it.
16:36What's wrong with that?
16:36I've still got to
16:37convince Angela
16:37to let me be part
16:38of his life.
16:39We've got to convince her
16:40and we won't know
16:40until we ask her,
16:41will we?
16:43Yeah, I know.
16:46I know.
16:54You're still here.
16:56Yeah, I just need
16:56to get my
16:56and Thomas' passport.
16:58We'll get them
16:58and get out.
17:00All right.
17:07Lars, I've finally
17:08got rid of them all.
17:09You might find
17:10you miss them all now.
17:11No chance.
17:13I'm going to enjoy
17:14the peace and quiet.
17:15But you're always
17:20welcome, Sam.
17:24Lydia was saying
17:25that you two
17:26have been talking
17:27about the house.
17:27thought she might have
17:29mentioned it.
17:32Are we celebrating
17:33something?
17:34Well, I hope so.
17:36If you can help me
17:38convince your wife
17:39that she's worth
17:40more than she thinks.
17:41I keep telling her that.
17:43Great.
17:45So,
17:46are you pleased
17:47I decided to leave
17:48her home farm
17:49in my will?
17:50Yeah,
17:51of course I am.
17:52I mean,
17:54it's really generous
17:55of you, Kim.
17:57And I promise
17:58we'll look after
17:59the place
17:59just how you'd want.
18:01I know you will, Sam.
18:03The only problem is
18:05she's too modest
18:06to take it.
18:07So I'm hoping
18:08you can help me
18:09persuade her.
18:15So,
18:16what do you say?
18:18Can I open
18:19the champagne now?
18:22Nothing
18:22anyone says
18:23will make me
18:23change my mind, Kim.
18:25I can't inherit
18:26home farm
18:26because
18:27I don't deserve it.
18:29Well,
18:29that's a matter
18:30of opinion.
18:32You won't think
18:32that when I tell you
18:33that Ice died
18:34because of me and Sam.
18:35We went behind you
18:36back to make
18:37a few quid
18:37and it was a death
18:38sentence for Ice
18:39and you ended up
18:40on crutches.
18:41This was all
18:42our fault.
18:45Yeah,
18:45it was nice.
18:46Yeah.
18:46Oh.
18:47I'll call you
18:48later,
18:49Laurel.
18:53I need you
18:54to start winding
18:55things up here.
18:57There's no rush,
18:57is there?
18:58No point sticking
18:59around either.
19:00I have just got
19:01a good deal
19:02out of April's dad.
19:04Two grand a week,
19:04two grand a week
19:05just for knocking
19:06on his door.
19:06Would be a shame
19:07to lose that.
19:10My lovely boy.
19:14You have no
19:15imagination
19:15whatsoever,
19:16do you?
19:17What do you mean?
19:19If we take
19:20April with us
19:21to Wrexham,
19:21it will be
19:22even more incentive
19:23for her dad
19:23to keep paying us.
19:28You think
19:29of everything.
19:30Yes,
19:30and you don't.
19:33It weren't
19:34Lydia's fault,
19:34Kim.
19:35It were mine.
19:39It just seemed
19:39like easy money.
19:40I thought it
19:43would get us
19:43out of a hole.
19:45I never
19:46would have thought
19:46it would cause
19:47all this trouble.
19:48She went along
19:49with it.
19:50She didn't want to.
19:52And then
19:53everything just
19:54started to go wrong.
19:56I don't want to
19:57hear any of this.
19:58The bottom line is
20:00you've betrayed me.
20:02Your employment
20:03here is over.
20:04Now just
20:05get out of my sight.
20:12I might have
20:13expected it of him.
20:15But I thought
20:16you were my friend.
20:17I am so sorry.
20:19Sorry?
20:22Just words.
20:24More lies.
20:26After everything
20:27I've done for you.
20:29If you needed
20:30something,
20:30you only had to ask.
20:32I thought you knew
20:33that.
20:33I don't have any
20:34excuses.
20:35You know
20:36what this place
20:37means to me.
20:39I thought you
20:39understood.
20:41It's everything
20:42I've ever worked
20:43for.
20:44Everything I love.
20:45I was ready
20:48to give it all
20:49to you.
20:50Just tell me
20:51what I need to do
20:52to make things
20:52up to you.
20:53Nothing
20:54you can do
20:55can make things
20:57like they were.
20:59I have made
21:00that mistake
21:01before.
21:02I'm never going
21:03to trust anyone
21:03again after this.
21:06You're sacked.
21:08I don't want
21:09to see you up
21:09here again.
21:10You're right.
21:11It's just words.
21:12I'm sorry.
21:13But you will
21:14never know
21:14how sorry I am.
21:15How much
21:16I wish
21:17that none
21:18of this
21:18had ever
21:18happened.
21:20Oh, and Lydia.
21:22I really
21:23wanted to believe
