00:26Police were everywhere.
00:27No.
00:28Got the right mummy.
00:28Yep.
00:29They smashed the cottage door down, but she was long gone.
00:31Scott's bed hasn't been slept in.
00:33Oh, relax.
00:34He left a note.
00:34He's gone off for a few days.
00:36Perhaps Kim sent the helicopter back for him.
00:38Maybe he's a new toy boy.
00:40This isn't funny.
00:42Where's he gone and why?
00:43He just said he needs to get his head together.
00:46Shouldn't be gone too long, then.
00:49We've got a business to run.
00:50He's really left us in the lurch.
00:52We never does that much work, anyway.
00:54Who's going to do the deliveries?
00:56Who's going to do the cash and carry?
00:57I'll have to get some help in.
00:59Well, it's not worth it.
01:01By the time you get a temp sorted, he'll be back.
01:03Well, Terry said he'd do a few hours if we need him.
01:05No way!
01:06We don't need any favours from him.
01:08It's no big deal.
01:10It's free during the day, anyway.
01:13Yeah.
01:14Well, I told you before.
01:15I don't want him in this house.
01:17I'm just thinking of the business, Kelly.
01:31Hi.
01:32I was just wondering how Chris was.
01:34Oh, he's on the mend.
01:35They just kept him in for observation.
01:37He's coming out today.
01:39Good.
01:39Good.
01:39I'm glad.
01:41I've been feeling bad about the way things are between me and you.
01:45And, well, you came and said sorry.
01:47And I just wish that I had.
01:52Are you?
01:53Yes.
01:54I just want us to be friends again.
01:57Yeah.
01:58Me too.
01:59I'll see you later.
02:00All right.
02:06Good girl.
02:08Stay.
02:09Stay.
02:12Zoe, you going back to the hospital this morning?
02:15No, I don't think so.
02:16We're a bit busy today.
02:17Don't worry.
02:17I can do your calls.
02:18Well, can I come with you?
02:19It'll be a really good experience.
02:20When?
02:20We're a bit less hectic.
02:22Oh, Paddy.
02:23The truth is, I'm dreading seeing Chris again.
02:25He blames me for everything.
02:26That's ridiculous.
02:27Is it?
02:28If I hadn't posted Kim's bell, she'd never have got away.
02:30Never have been able to attack him.
02:31You didn't know it was going to turn out like that.
02:33You did what you thought was right.
02:35Kim fooled a lot of people, including me.
02:37Yes, but not Chris.
02:38And if I'd listened to him, she'd be behind bars now.
02:41At least she's gone for good this time.
02:43She wouldn't dare show her face in the village again.
02:45So Chris can forget about her and you can both get on with your lives.
02:50Hey, are them them secateurs I sent for?
02:53It would have dressed to me.
02:56Seth Armstrong, I hope you haven't been wasting your money.
03:00Honest, no.
03:01It must be a present.
03:02Aye, look, there's a card.
03:07To the only mate I'll miss.
03:12Love, Kay.
03:14Hey, must be Kim.
03:16Is she your secret admirer, Seth?
03:19Hey, you can't keep it.
03:20It's from a criminal.
03:23Yeah, that'll probably be in place.
03:24Right in the place.
03:27Get rid of it.
03:30Aye, look mate.
03:31You'll have to dispose of the evidence.
03:33Aye, no, no.
03:34Just wait to put it.
03:36Terry.
03:36There's a visitor for you.
03:39I was wondering if you could do a few hours for me at the shop.
03:42I thought we'd agreed it wasn't a good idea.
03:44Well, I wouldn't ask, but Scott's gone off for a few days
03:46and I really can't cope without some help.
03:49Do you think Kelly will come round to this?
03:50No problem.
03:51She knows it's just business.
03:53OK.
03:54Shh.
03:59Bye.
04:00Bye.
04:04Hey, where do you think you're going?
04:07I'm getting rid of it like you told me to.
04:12It's cold, Seth, isn't it?
04:14Can I get you a cup of tea?
04:15Oh, no, I'm fine, thanks.
04:16I was actually looking for Ned.
04:19Oh, Jack.
04:21This is Dawn Wilkins.
04:23We met at the supermarket yesterday.
04:25Nice to meet you.
04:26Yes, nice to meet you.
04:27Ned's working out in the barn at the moment.
04:29I'll show you out there if you like.
04:31Oh, no, it's OK.
04:32I expect I can find him.
04:37Look, I hope you don't think I'm being nosy,
04:39but I was wondering about Ned and Jan.
04:42They always seemed so right for each other.
04:44I was really surprised that they'd split up.
04:47Well, they've had their troubles.
04:49I guess that drove them apart.
04:51And there's no chance of them getting back together again?
04:54Oh, no.
04:55No, Jan's made a new life for herself
04:56and Ned seems to have accepted it.
04:58I expect he'll tell you all about it.
05:00Are you sure I don't want to show you out there?
05:01No, I'm fine, honestly.
05:03You finish your tea.
05:04Bye.
05:04For top barn.
05:06Thanks.
05:09She seems very keen to renew the acquaintance.
05:11Now, don't you go reading too much into it.
05:14Oh, she's lost her husband.
05:15His wife's left him.
05:16Bit of romance and doing both good.
05:18You sure it's them you're thinking about?
05:20Well, I am getting fed up with his miserable face
05:22and I must admit anything that would cheer him up be a blessing.
05:35Oh, how fortuitous.
05:38Eh?
05:41Then you should arrive just when I've got some new stock.
05:44Particularly since you're the sort of discerning customer
05:46who recognises true qualities.
05:49I don't know about that.
05:51Well, I do.
05:52You've certainly got better taste than the last inhabitants of Home Farm.
05:55Oh, as a matter of fact, that's what I came to ask you about.
05:58Oh, yeah?
05:58Because I've been trying to phone but I can't get any reply.
06:01Ah.
06:02Well, that's hardly surprising under the circumstances.
06:05What circumstances?
06:07Home Farm's always had a colourful history.
06:11You've just missed the closing of another chapter.
06:14But I just want to have another look around grounds.
06:16Oh, well, that can be arranged.
06:19But I think I should fill you in on the latest developments first.
06:22Look, I don't want to disturb your work.
06:25Oh.
06:26Always time for a beautiful lady, Stella.
06:29Er, tell you what, give me a couple of minutes to close up
06:31and, er, we'll go over to the diner, shall we?
06:34All right.
06:41Please?
06:41Present from an old mate who's gone to pastures new.
06:45Yeah, I wish I could do that.
06:47You won't want to leave village.
06:49Er, most of my family are gone, Seth.
06:51I really don't need me anymore.
06:53To be honest, I don't even know why I'm repairing this.
06:56The price of the lambs fetched last year, they're not even worth fencing in.
06:58Yeah.
07:00That's a bit early, isn't it?
07:01Medicinal.
07:02Keep cold out.
07:04Hiya.
07:05I don't expect to see you up, are you?
07:07I just wanted to say goodbye.
07:10Goodbye?
07:10We've only just met up again.
07:12I'll see you soon.
07:13Yeah, I'll see you, Seth.
07:16Bad timing, I'm afraid.
07:18I've bought a bar out in Ibiza.
07:20I wanted a fresh start after Fred died.
07:23Yeah, I know how you feel.
07:24I was shattered when our day was killed
07:26and then, of course, we lost our Linda as well.
07:28That's awful, losing two children.
07:30Yeah, then Jan went a bit funny
07:32and things were never the same between us when she came out of hospital.
07:35I'm really sorry.
07:37Ah, it's all water on the bridge now, love.
07:39I wish I could be like you and leave all my memories behind,
07:41but, well, I ain't got that sort of money
07:43and I'm not the type to up sticks and go,
07:45so there's no point worrying, is there?
07:48I've picked up your mail from the haulage yard.
07:51I've dealt with anything with the detergent.
07:53That's good of you.
07:54Do you want me to start contacting people
07:56to tell them the opening's been postponed?
07:57Well, it hasn't.
07:58I'll be opening next week as planned.
08:00Well, I know you're getting out today,
08:01but Dr Smith said you're supposed to take things easy.
08:04Getting the haulage business start will be the best tonne I could have.
08:06I'm not going to let Kim ruin that as well.
08:09Then you're going to need plenty of help.
08:11I'll get back to the yard this afternoon
08:12and start getting things organised.
08:14What about your own work?
08:15It's all finished.
08:16As of this morning, I'm officially on leave.
08:19Then you're the one that deserves a well-armed rest.
08:22Well, maybe I'll take it in the village.
08:24I've still got the cottage.
08:26I like the village, the countryside, the people.
08:30Yes, Chris, even you.
08:32I've decided your bark's worse than your bite.
08:34And now that Kim's gone,
08:35I might even be able to get you to smile a bit more often.
08:38It's hard to see the funny side of being attacked in your own house.
08:42Especially when you're about to lose it.
08:43I was going to talk to you about that.
08:46Leaving Home Farm could be the best thing for you.
08:49Fresh start all round.
08:50There's plenty of room at my cottage if you...
08:52Cathy.
08:54So pleased to see you.
08:55I was hoping you'd kill.
09:14Can't wait to get out of here.
09:17I don't want any delays starting the haulage business.
09:19Next week's quite soon enough.
09:21You've got to get your strength back.
09:23It's going to be hard work.
09:25Business climate's tough these days.
09:26No, it was never easy.
09:28We got through some scrapes though, didn't we?
09:31Remember?
09:32Yeah, I remember.
09:33Cathy was with me from the start.
09:35Even got a HGV licence.
09:39Well, what you need is somewhere to live while you plan all this.
09:42Yeah.
09:44The new owner will want me out of a home farm soon.
09:47That's what I was trying to tell you.
09:49I've got plenty of room at the cottage.
09:51You could move in with me for a while.
09:54I don't think you'd be practical with my chair.
09:56Well, I'm sure we'd get round that somehow.
09:58Well, I don't think it's a good idea anyway.
10:00You know what the village gossips it like.
10:03I was rather hoping that you could help me out.
10:06I've been thinking about it,
10:07but there's someone I need to talk to first.
10:13Right, well, good luck then.
10:14And to you too.
10:15What would I need luck for her?
10:17I'll just be stuck back here in the same old rut.
10:19Not you, Ned Glover.
10:21You've got more in you than that.
10:23When you find out what you want,
10:25you'll go for it too.
10:29Er, Dawn?
10:30Yeah?
10:30I was wondering, er, well,
10:32if you'd like to have dinner with me tonight.
10:34Yeah, I would.
10:35That'd be really nice.
10:37Still got loads to talk over.
10:38I'll see her in the woolly after work, eh?
10:40Okay.
10:47Fine-looking woman?
10:48Yeah.
10:50The senator tells me you used to know each other quite well.
10:53Ah, that was a long time ago, Jack.
10:54I've walked into a lot since then.
10:56Yeah, but you and Jan getting divorced
10:59nothing to stop you courting again, eh?
11:01Yeah, except a couple of hundred miles of ocean.
11:04She's emigrating.
11:05She's opening a bar in Ibiza.
11:07Oh.
11:08Now that is a problem.
11:10Yeah, it's not worth thinking about.
11:12I mean, what would she see in me, eh?
11:13I ain't got two breastfathers to rub together.
11:17Oh, God.
11:24I'll just go and finish off the cash and carry list.
11:27Oh, I think you're running short on coffee and sugar.
11:29Oh, right, I'll add them.
11:31I don't know what I'd have done without you, Terry.
11:33I'm really grateful.
11:34I'm just helping out.
11:39Well, it's not helping me much, having to see you.
11:42My dad died in here.
11:45I...
11:46I was just as upset about that as you.
11:49He was my best mate.
11:50Till you slept with his wife behind his back.
11:55Kelly, er...
11:56that was a long time ago.
11:58We made a mistake and we paid for it.
12:00Not in my book.
12:01I'll never forgive you for it.
12:04Either of you.
12:05Right, got the list.
12:07Something wrong?
12:08Er...
12:25I don't see why you should help Chris.
12:27Look, he's been really nice to me lately and he has just gone out of hospital.
12:31I wouldn't like to think of him with nowhere to go.
12:34I don't think I let him stay at your place.
12:36I'm sure that's what he was hinting at, but it wouldn't be practical.
12:39There are plenty of hotels, you know, and he can afford it.
12:42I just happen to do a bit better than that.
12:46Ah, well, you think in asking the new owner of home farm for help, you'd better get in quick because
12:50it looks like Paul had got designs on her.
12:52After all you've told me, I'm not sure I want to move in at all.
12:55Don't worry.
12:56It's a delightful place.
12:59In the right hands.
13:02Of course, you'll need a lot of help to run it.
13:05Oh, I can't start thinking about stuff till after I've moved in.
13:08No, but you'll need someone to help you right from the start.
13:12Someone, someone who understands the village.
13:14Hi, I'm Cathy Glover. I own the diner.
13:17Oh, Stella Jones.
13:18Are you moving into home farm?
13:19No, that's right.
13:21Look, I know I've got no right to ask, but I was wondering if you'd mind delaying it for a
13:26while.
13:26That is totally out of the question.
13:29I can speak for myself. Thank you, Eric.
13:32Why, what's the problem?
13:34Well, Chris Tate's only coming out of hospital today.
13:37Oh, yeah. Eric told me about him getting attacked.
13:40Yeah, he's recovering well, but it's not easy for him to find a place that's suitable for the wheelchair.
13:43And that is his problem, not Stella's.
13:46Eric, I do sympathise, but I want to move in as soon as I can.
13:51Yeah, I can understand that, but maybe you consider letting Chris stay on until he's found somewhere.
13:56Or else, after all, it's a big place. There's plenty of room.
13:59I must counsel caution on this.
14:02I am quite capable of making my own decision, thank you, Eric.
14:05No. Eric's right. It needs thinking about.
14:09But if you could help out Stella, I'd be really grateful.
14:18Beef tea. Strengthen you up.
14:20I'm not an invalid. I feel fine.
14:24You've had a nasty shock to the system. Now do as you're told and drink it.
14:28I've never seen you as the Florence Nightingale type.
14:31Well, maybe I've got hidden depths.
14:33So, beneath that balance sheet brain of yours, there's a burning desire to minister to the sick.
14:39Why do you find it so hard to trust anyone?
14:43I find it a useful defence mechanism.
14:46If my sainted sister hadn't been so trusting, I wouldn't have ended up in hospital.
14:51And Kim would have been behind bars.
14:53Look, we all make mistakes.
14:54But that doesn't mean to say you should turn your back on people who really care about you.
14:59Hello? Chris?
15:00I think I might have solved your accommodation problem.
15:04Well, that's great, but I thought you wanted to talk it over with Alice first.
15:07Why'd I need to do that?
15:09To explain to her about me moving in.
15:11That was never an option, Chris.
15:13It was Stella Jones I needed to talk to.
15:16Anyway, she's promised to think about letting you stay on for a while after she's moved in.
15:31What are you still doing here?
15:36Everybody's entitled to a tea break.
15:38Hi, love. Well, I hope you're making gut use a bit.
15:43Have you disposed of that evidence yet?
15:46It'll be gone before you get home, love.
15:49Well, I'm glad to hear it.
15:51Now, get off to work.
15:53There's no rush.
15:55Chris won't be back from hospital yet.
15:57The new owner wouldn't be around for weeks.
16:00Don't worry, Betty. I'm going up to home farm later. I can give him a lift.
16:03I'll just have a quick cup of tea first.
16:04OK, love.
16:08I expect things will be a bit quieter for you when the new owner moves in.
16:12I'll buy me time before I answer that.
16:15I didn't realise what you takes were going to be like at start.
16:20Chris blames me for everything that's happened.
16:23Reckons Kim made a fool of me and that's how she got away.
16:26I guess she's right.
16:28Well, here's to her.
16:30Wherever she is.
16:32You're not defending what she's done.
16:34No.
16:36I won't want to see her behind bars.
16:38She's too spirited for that.
16:41Frank tried to cage her in.
16:44Then so did Chris.
16:46Happened that's where they went wrong.
16:48You won't convince my brother of that.
16:50Then maybe you should try.
16:53There's no point fighting the same old battles.
16:57Time to turn pages.
17:13Hiya.
17:15Hi.
17:16I didn't think you were serious about moving in today.
17:19I hope it's a nice surprise.
17:20Definitely.
17:21Straight on with the domestic chores.
17:23Yeah, it was a bit dusty.
17:25I guess you didn't have time this morning.
17:27There, I'm on a tight schedule.
17:28I had to get Joseph to nursery.
17:30Oh, er, of course.
17:32I wasn't criticising.
17:34And you've been busy in the kitchen as well.
17:36My famous hot pot bubbling away nicely.
17:38Now you're spoiling me.
17:40That's the idea.
17:41Oh, er, by the way, you had a few packets out there that were past their sell-by date, so
17:45I bin them.
17:46Thanks.
17:47You're not very organised, are you?
17:49No.
17:50I was adding my CD collection to yours, but I don't know how you ever find anything.
17:55I'm putting them in alphabetical order.
17:58I think I need taking in hand, don't I?
18:00And I'm just the man to do it.
18:03Why can't I stay with you?
18:06I know things went wrong between us when we were married, but we've both changed such a lot since then.
18:12For the better, I hope.
18:14I never wanted to get bitter about you or Rachel, so I'm glad all that's behind us and we can
18:20be friends again.
18:21Well, me too.
18:23That's why me moving in seemed like the ideal solution.
18:26I think it'd be best to enjoy the friendship for a while and not do anything that might spoil it.
18:31Stella seemed really nice. I'm sure you two could get on for a while.
18:35Not here. Not after what Kim did to me.
18:38Kim's gone, Chris. Gone for good.
18:41It's never gonna be like that while I'm at home farm.
18:45I can still see Kim's face in every room.
18:47Still raking over the embers.
18:50Well, I wouldn't need to if you hadn't interfered.
18:52I said I'm sorry.
18:55Cathy's right. She's gone. It's over. Forget it.
18:57You know I can't do that.
18:59I can't, Chris. I won't.
19:00You've every chance to make that fresh start you're always boasting about.
19:04A brand new haulage business.
19:06Laura making you nourishing meals in the kitchen.
19:08Cathy trying to find you somewhere to live.
19:10But you're still sitting here brooding about the past.
19:13For someone who's admitted it's all her fault, you do seem rather critical today.
19:17I'm just taking a leaf out of your book.
19:20You've told me a few home treats. I think it's time I'd return the compliment.
19:23I'll see if Laura needs a hand in the kitchen.
19:30So you're finally gonna come out of your shell and straighten me out, are you sis?
19:35I'm gonna enjoy this.

20:31every dog must have its day at least seth looks like he's enjoyed his it looks like your dad's
20:36having a good time too right what do you think about the new girlfriend then seems to be making
20:41him happy it's good enough for me shame she's moving abroad soon i don't know just when i
20:46thought we were gonna have some fun he must have a jinx on him i'm so glad we met up
20:51again yeah me
20:52and all you know there was one point when i thought you and me might get hitched then
20:57wellfred got there first and you met jan
21:00ah things might have been very different there's no point in thinking about what might have been
21:07we haven't got much time together so let's not waste it come on i'll buy a slap-up dinner
21:28do you think they're all right doubt it look to me like the gloves were coming off well then
21:34maybe we should go in and prize them apart chris is just out of hospital shouldn't be getting over
21:38excited oh he'll cope you know they're a strange breed the tates
21:42they'll fight among themselves but if you step between them you'll only get caught in the
21:46crossfire i suppose you'd know all about that i'm sure i realized quite what i was marrying into at
21:53the time but you and chris you're um still good friends
22:00i'd like to see him happy so would i i've got to know him quite well while i've been working
22:05here
22:06and underneath all that bitterness he's quite a different person just waiting for the right
22:12woman to bring him out maybe
22:17i admit i was wrong about kim i thought she'd have learned a lesson after everything that happened
22:22you should have known she'd never change she'll always be scheming what about your part in all this
22:27you see there's still one question i can't answer if kim wanted to escape with james
22:33why would she waste time coming to home farm why would she want to attack you
22:40because i had the one thing i knew she wouldn't leave without
22:44i worked out that she'd buried the money in dad's grave so i dug it up and i left a
22:51little message
22:51in its place why didn't you tell the police i worked it out not them knew she'd do anything to
22:58get her hands on that money she was ready to crawl thanks chris i don't feel guilty anymore
23:08you brought all this on yourself she admitted she killed our father and he admitted that he tried to
23:15kill her that's how they were chris they couldn't live together they couldn't live apart and if you
23:28have a lot more important than the past so if you're going to sit here settling old scores then you
23:36can
