00:00MUSIC
00:03There we go.
00:07What is wrong with people?
00:10I mean, it is not rocket science, is it?
00:12Drink coffee, place cup in recycling bin.
00:19Don't leave it on the floor.
00:25Billy?
00:27Billy?
00:29Jay?
00:30Jay?
00:31Yeah?
00:32Come here.
00:33What?
00:35What?
00:36Is he?
00:36No, there's a pulse. I'm ringing the ambulance now.
00:38Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:40Oh, I've got you, Billy.
00:42I've got you.
00:43Hey, ambulance, please.
00:45Caleb Milligan International at Emmerdale.
00:48Stay with us, Billy.
00:54Caleb, we've got a problem.
00:57I had the sound bath last night.
01:00It's as if something just broke.
01:01I don't know, I've never cried so hard in so long.
01:04It's a shame.
01:05You and Billy seem good together.
01:08Well, I thought I'd found the, er, found someone who wanted me for me, you know?
01:14Thomas is gonna be upset.
01:17Graham?
01:18He thinks the world of Billy.
01:19Yeah, we all do.
01:21And you've no idea what's behind his change of heart.
01:27Look, don't take this the wrong way, but when things go wrong suddenly, there's often someone else involved.
01:36Well, I guess I should be grateful that he'd binned me off before I thought about getting down the aisle
01:41again.
01:43Jay?
01:46Yeah, but Billy?
01:47Well, I've been trying to get hold of him.
01:49Do you know what? It's his loss. He chose to hurt me, so I'm just leaving it up to Universe
01:53now.
01:54Karma will get him in the end.
01:55Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, thank you. Thanks, bye.
01:59You okay?
02:00Er, no. I've got to get to hospital. Billy's had a, er, accident.
02:07Date night?
02:09Who has one of those when they're married?
02:10Me and Rona. We did the maths the other night.
02:12We've not been out together for weeks.
02:14No, we've not either. For months.
02:17I bought you a kebab last week.
02:19Out, out, the two of us.
02:21Well, maybe if Marlon and Rona have got a date, we could make it a foursome.
02:26Oh, oh, what a...
02:28What a shame. Our tables just boot for two.
02:32You know what's happened to us, Jimmy?
02:33We only used to have to look at each other and that was it.
02:36Oh, our first bunk up in the back of my truck.
02:39Oh, once those hydraulics kicked in, we couldn't give our hands off each other.
02:42It's the phone. It's the phone.
02:43Hello?
02:44What's up?
02:46Now it's the other way round.
02:47I can't remember the last time we, er...
02:49Well, you either use it or you lose it.
02:54You know, keep taking me for granted
02:56and I might just start wondering what is the point of being married at all.
02:59Yeah, right, no, no, I'll be there as fast as I can.
03:03Erm...
03:03I've got to go.
03:05Billy's in hospital.
03:09No, it looks like it could be a health and safety issue,
03:11so I've told all the staff to stay away for the time being, yeah.
03:14Alright, right, I don't have to go. Alright, laters.
03:16Lily, where is he?
03:17He's been taken straight to surgery.
03:20A head injury.
03:21He's got a bleed on the brain.
03:23What on earth happened?
03:24Me and Kerry found him at the depot this morning.
03:28Unconscious.
03:29He must have been there all night.
03:30So, are we talking about an accident at work?
03:33Well, I mean, that's too early to call, but maybe.
03:37OK.
03:37Well, I hope you have good insurance.
03:38Joe, like that matters.
03:40We don't even know if he's gonna live or die.
03:43Well, we need to know more.
03:46I'm his next of kin, so...
03:48for the kids.
03:50I'll go and ask.
04:01What's right?
04:01Mm-hmm.
04:02Dodger gear stashed.
04:03How's Billy doing?
04:04Jay's called.
04:05Said they won't know till he's out of surgery.
04:07Don't get out.
04:08He's hurt himself.
04:09He's never messed up before.
04:10He's worked here long enough.
04:11Do you think he has hurt himself?
04:14He hurt Joe yesterday.
04:16Detective Sergeant Byrne, Hotton Police.
04:19I'm here investigating the incident involving Billy Fletcher.
04:23I'm, er, Caitlin Milligan. I'm the boss.
04:26It's terrible what's happened.
04:27Anything we can do to help us, just say, yeah.
04:30Thank you, Mr Milligan.
04:31This way.
04:38Doctors told Dawn they've fixed the bleed and he's stable.
04:42How long before he wakes up?
04:45All we know is he's been put into an induced coma
04:48to give him a better chance of recovery.
04:51Head injuries are unpredictable.
04:52Even if he does survive, it...
04:57Hey, Bill.
05:02I don't know if you can hear me.
05:06But if you can,
05:09hang on in there, okay?
05:13Because we really need you.
05:18I should go and call Lydia.
05:21See if she can pick the kids up.
05:23I think we're gonna be here for a while.
05:39I opened up with Kerry and Billy was just lying there by the loading bay.
05:43He wasn't moving. I thought he was dead.
05:45Can't understand it.
05:47Billy's normally really careful when he comes off and saves day.
05:49Except this doesn't appear to be an accident.
05:52The hospital has spoken to us about the nature of Mr Fletcher's injuries.
05:56When I believe he may have been a victim of a violent attack.
06:00So, before you found him this morning, when was the last time you saw Mr Fletcher?
06:05We were shut yesterday.
06:07It was inventory day, so a limited amount of staff.
06:10For me, it would have been the day before.
06:12Yeah, I was here with him and Kerry.
06:14We both finished up and he had a few bits to do so we left him to it.
06:17He said he'd lock up.
06:18And that's a regular occurrence?
06:20Yeah.
06:21He's got the keys and the alarm codes.
06:23Me and we all have.
06:24Staff will often wear late or get in early to load up first thing.
06:28Okay.
06:29So, if you've managed to get the CCTV footage lined up from last night, I'll take a look.
06:34Yeah, I've checked that.
06:36There seems to be some sort of malfunction.
06:38There's nothing on the hard drive and there's nothing in the cloud.
06:42But the cameras are working now though, so I don't get it.
06:46Have you any idea of anyone who might want to hurt Mr Fletcher?
06:50Billy? No, don't be daft.
06:52Joe, yesterday.
06:53Excuse me?
06:53Er, Joe Tate.
06:55He's from up at home farm.
06:57Billy wasn't here but he came in looking for them.
07:00He's human.
07:01Got himself in a right state.
07:02He was telling you to tell Billy to watch his back.
07:04Making threats?
07:06Any idea why?
07:08Joe's partner, Dawn.
07:09Well, they're engaged actually and she was with Billy before him.
07:12Yesterday he, er, he found out that they got close again.
07:16How close exactly?
07:17They kissed.
07:18And Dawn is pregnant with Joe's baby.
07:21Of course he was going to go off on one, weren't he?
07:24Can't really blame him for being upset, can you?
07:29There you go.
07:30I'll add it to you, Bill.
07:31You're very welcome.
07:33Grandmen don't just disappear.
07:35Steve-o does.
07:36Trust me, he's like a scarlet pimpernel.
07:39You think that's a good or a bad thing?
07:42Probably a good thing.
07:46Claudette reckons he's got a job somewhere, so...
07:48Two coffees please, Nicola.
07:52God indeed works in mysterious ways.
07:55God does.
07:57My prayers have been answered.
07:59Kevin's finally free from the influences of that terrible man.
08:02You seem pretty sure of that.
08:05It's no secret that you wanted Steve away from Kev.
08:08And you know I've only ever wanted Kevin's best interests at heart.
08:12Mother.
08:15What have you done?
08:18Promise me you'll keep this to yourself.
08:21But I might have helped things on a little.
08:24Persuaded Steve to see there was another way.
08:29You had a cosy chat with a career criminal by yourself.
08:36Anything could have happened.
08:37I'm fine, I promise.
08:39I spoke to him in the only language he understands.
08:42They say money talks and mine did.
08:44You bri-
08:49You bribed him to go away.
08:52Are you serious?
08:55I used my savings to invest in Kevin's future.
08:58What were you thinking?
09:00You can't afford to do that.
09:02I can't afford not to.
09:04Kevin's saw was at stake.
09:06And it was worth every single penny to set him free.
09:30Detective Sergeant Byrne.
09:32You looking for Dawn Fletcher?
09:34Yeah, that's me.
09:35You've just been in with Billy Fletcher, your ex-husband?
09:37Yeah.
09:38And you know, he's had this accident at work.
09:41So if Caleb Milligan is cutting any corners, then we need to do something about it.
09:46I'm afraid we've got reason to suspect that Mr Fletcher's been the victim of a serious assault.
09:50No.
09:51No one would hurt Billy.
09:53Maybe you could help us with this.
09:55We've recovered Mr Fletcher's phone from the scene.
09:58And discovered that you called him yesterday.
10:00Yeah, well, we have our kids together. I mean, I call him all the time.
10:03Well, we've heard a message you left on Mr Fletcher's voicemail.
10:06You needed to know if you were the reason that he split up with Gabby Thomas.
10:11Wanted him to call you urgently.
10:14And?
10:16Did you just suspect he ended things with Miss Thomas because of the kiss you both shared?
10:20What, me and Billy?
10:22No, it's...
10:23We're not...
10:25We're divorced. I'm engaged to someone else.
10:28Joe Tate.
10:30Did you know Mr Tate was up at the depot yesterday where Mr Fletcher works?
10:34No.
10:35According to our witnesses, Mr Tate was upset because he just learned that you kissed Mr Fletcher.
10:41What, Joe knows?
10:43The witnesses have claimed that Mr Tate was apparently very distressed about it.
10:49Aggressive, even.
10:52You think that Joe hurt Billy?
11:13The hospital sent us home.
11:15And Dawn's staying with Billy tonight.
11:18Obviously, she's the one in charge.
11:20Seeing as she still is next of kin, even though they've been divorced for, like, forever.
11:25You'd think, now the police know it's foul play, they'd put an officer on the hospital door.
11:30In case someone tries to finish the job.
11:34Yeah, because the person that's done this is still out there.
11:38Look, Lydia will be back with the kids from our holiday club any minute.
11:42And Evan needs picking up from nursery.
11:45Leave that with me.
11:48So, er, what are we telling the kids then?
11:52Nothing for now.
11:54Maybe in the morning we'll have a better idea of Billy's condition.
11:59Yeah, if he survives.
12:01Do you know what? I don't care that he dumped me and I don't care that Dawn is sat there
12:05right now holding his hand. I just...
12:07I want him to be alright.
12:09We all do.
12:20Hey.
12:22How's he doing?
12:24The nurses asked me to leave. I think...
12:27I think they're doing something.
12:29Okay. And, er...
12:31How are you?
12:34You know Billy was attacked.
12:36No?
12:39What do you mean? I thought it... I thought it was an accident.
12:42No.
12:44The police just told me it was...
12:47a serious assault and whoever did it could have killed him.
12:54I mean, why would anyone want to do that?
12:57To Billy.
13:00He's so gentle.
13:04Doesn't have any enemies, it's...
13:09I used to tell him off for being too nice.
13:14Why would someone want to kill him?
13:17You tell me.
13:23I know he's my ex but I still care, you know?
13:26We've just been through so much together, we've shared...
13:29so much.
13:31More than most exes have.
13:35What do you mean?
13:36You know what I mean.
13:39The kiss.
13:42I've known about it since yesterday.
13:45Well, nice one.
13:46Wiping the footage, by the way.
13:47Because that would have been game over for us, wouldn't it?
13:51Caleb.
13:54You've gotta give it to Joe, ain't ya?
13:56Don't cut corners.
13:58Do you think it was him then?
14:00Well, you heard him threaten Billy.
14:02He'd found out he'd kissed Dawn.
14:05Must have followed him up here and then...
14:06attacked him from behind.
14:09Coward.
14:10Poor Billy. He didn't stand a chance, did he?
14:13Prison's too good for people like Joe Tate.
14:16I swear to ya.
14:17If you don't pull through...
14:20Joe better hope the police get to him before I do.
14:30Hey, man.
14:33Mum just messaged me.
14:35She's been held up at prayer group, so...
14:38Dinner will be late.
14:40Do you wanna...
14:42go for a quick drink?
14:45I wanted to talk to you about something.
14:48Yeah, that's sweet.
14:50I, er...
14:52I actually wanted to talk to you about something, too.
14:55Oh, yeah?
14:57Yeah.
15:01It's your mum.
15:03She's still being weird with me.
15:05I thought we was alright and...
15:08I don't know, there's no...
15:09banter.
15:11No laughs.
15:14If she wants me to go, she should just say...
15:20It's Steve.
15:25Go on.
15:28She thought you'd be better off without him.
15:31So she used her savings to bribe him to leave you alone.
15:37You took her money.
15:38Shhh.
15:44Tell me on watch, mate.
15:45I will get her back every single penny.
15:47I promise you even if I have to...
15:49No, never mind that.
15:51Don't repay her sacrifice by getting yourself in more trouble, man.
15:55That's exactly why she paid him off.
15:59Get her money back.
16:02Find a way to get her money without her knowing.
16:05Pay more rent for a start.
16:08And...
16:08Maybe help her out around the house a bit more too, yeah?
16:12Yeah.
16:16I promise you...
16:19I'll do the right thing.
16:22Bye everybody.
16:23Good.
16:24Don't tell her that you.
16:28Hello, boys.
16:31Come here, you.
16:32Oh!
16:34Kevin, what's got into you?
16:37I'm never gonna let you down, ever again.
16:41Oh.
16:41Swear with me life.
16:45So is it true then?
16:47What Caleb said about you two?
16:50It wasn't a kiss, Joe.
16:53Not a proper one.
16:55Oh.
16:55Joe. Joe, it just happened.
16:57Okay?
16:59Billy got the wrong idea.
17:00He kissed me and I pushed him away.
17:03He was mortified about it and nothing else happened.
17:06Explains why you haven't said anything to me then.
17:09Yeah, because you and Billy have just started getting on.
17:12And I knew you wouldn't let this go.
17:14You said it yourself. You still care for him.
17:17You do.
17:17I mean, that's why you couldn't stand the sight of him and Gabby together.
17:20Not true.
17:22Now Caleb tells me you're kissing him.
17:25He kissed me!
17:27You're carrying my baby, Dawn.
17:30Come on.
17:31I mean, we're supposed to have a future together.
17:33You're supposed to love me as much as I love you.
17:39I mean, have you got any idea how much this hurts?
17:46Just tell me you didn't do something stupid.
17:51You know, I've been racking my brains and Billy has literally no enemies.
17:56I can't think of a single person who'd want to bang him on the head.
18:00There's no knowing what goes on in someone's head.
18:03Yeah, why do you think me and Jimmy are still together?
18:05Absolutely no subtext in that big head of his.
18:08Well, that's a bit unkind.
18:10Sometimes there's stuff going on.
18:13Well, that's what I've always loved about you.
18:15What you see is what you get.
18:16No secrets, no lies, just Jimmy.
18:19You were accusing me of taking you for granted this morning.
18:22Yeah, well, maybe it's not such a bad thing.
18:24A predictable might be dull, but at least there's no surprises.
18:27Well, here's one. Tomorrow, we're going on that date.
18:30You just give me a steer, tell me where you want to go.
18:33Heaven.
18:34You just surprise me.
18:36Alright, you leave that to me.
18:40So, I mean, there was no sign of forced entry, didn't disturb a break-in?
18:45No, nothing. Some lunatic must have followed him up there and attacked him.
18:49He's not going to cark it though, is he?
18:51Well, he's in a coma, so he could go either way.
18:54If it wasn't a robbery, then who on earth would want to hurt Billy?
18:57Well, Joe Tate was up there yesterday and he was making threats against Billy.
19:01For what?
19:02Well, he found out that Billy and Donna got close again.
19:06Oh, sorry, hang on, just stop, stop.
19:07Are you suggesting-
19:08Yeah, well, it's motive, that, innit?
19:10Hang on though, there are cameras all over your place.
19:12Do you ever get there's going to be proof on CCTV?
19:14There was a powered outage last night.
19:16We checked the footage, there's nothing.
19:17Which means there's no evidence.
19:19You ever mess with those cameras, they knew what they were doing.
19:22Just hope the police can get enough together to send your take down.
19:32So you think that I snuck into the depot, and that I whacked him on the head?
19:37Me?
19:39Sure, I was hurt by it.
19:42Pretty annoyed, but...
19:44Come on, I wouldn't punish him like this, why would I do that?
19:48Because you're you?
19:50Because you can't help yourself?
19:54Because I love you?
19:55Is that a crime?
19:57Dawn?
19:58Is it?
19:59If it is, then I'm guilty, lock me up, okay?
20:03But to write me off as some kind of cold-blooded attacker
20:06whose ego can't deal with an unsolicited kiss from your ex?
20:11Look, I...
20:12What, Jo?
20:15Okay, yeah, I found him very annoying to begin with.
20:20Boring even, but I never wanted him dead.
20:23Well, someone did.
20:25And when the police find that person, they will pay.
20:29It's like Kim said.
20:30We are family.
20:33You hurt one of us.
20:34You hurt all of us.
20:36Detective Sergeant Byrne.
20:38Otton Police.
20:40Joe Tate.
20:41I'm busy.
20:42I'm arresting you on suspicion of inflicting Grievous Bodley harm
20:45with intent on Billy Fletcher.
20:47Seriously?
20:48You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
20:50if you do not mention when questioned something that you later rely on in court.
20:53And anything that you do say may be given in evidence.
20:56You understand?
20:58He's pretty confident for a detective sergeant who's about to get demoted
21:01and then sued to high heaven.
21:03Yeah, all right, well, if you'd like to come with me.
21:05Get Graham on the phone, call my solicitor.
21:07Sorry, please.
21:08You haven't got a shred of evidence against me,
21:10so if you get my legal team involved, I'll be back in an hour.
21:12Tops.
21:12I need to fix it.
21:14It's a good idea.
21:16Ah.
