00:00Anything interested? On your phone?
00:15Work. That's all. See ya.
00:19Oh, are you going for some lunch?
00:22Maybe.
00:23Well, why don't you join me and Mattie? We're just meeting over the road.
00:26Er, day drinking, not really my thing.
00:28Oh, please, just come for one.
00:30And I found some old photos of me with Rob and Andy when we were little.
00:35Some good ones of Dad, too.
00:38But you obviously don't give a stuff, so I'll let you get on.
00:41Sorry, yeah, erm, lunch sounds great.
00:50I know I wasn't at the house inspection, but I'd moved out, so I didn't think I needed to be.
00:55OK, it's, it's what?
00:59Right, sorry. No, I've still got a key. I can come round and sort it now.
01:04OK.
01:08Standing over Will yesterday, seeing him brought to his knees, I thought I'd feel triumphant.
01:18But all I really felt was this terrible sadness.
01:22Oh, love.
01:24No, not once, throughout everything I put him through, did he think of telling me the truth.
01:30And if he had?
01:33We might have been able to salvage something, even though I told Will it'd be over if he strayed.
01:41I knew deep down that Rose was a one-off, a mistake.
01:47If he'd been honest with me, who knows?
01:55I loved him, you know.
01:57Course I do.
01:59For the first time in years, I, I let someone in.
02:06And before all this, I'd have trusted him with my life.
02:11I am so sorry.
02:16Don't be.
02:19Lesson learned.
02:21Nobody's worth that much pain.
02:24And it's never going to happen again.
02:28So what do you do now?
02:31What I always do.
02:33Move on.
02:34Carry on.
02:36Get back to work.
02:40My marriage is dead and buried.
02:44It's time to focus my energies on things that actually give a return.
02:58Got a moment?
03:00I can do better than that, I can give you two, actually.
03:03If you need to take that.
03:05No, it's just Jay, it'll be about the divorce.
03:07We're having a bit of distance at the moment and I, I don't feel like talking about it.
03:11Some people are energy radiators and other people are energy drained.
03:16I've been thinking about the Harvest Festival.
03:18Hi, Mum.
03:19Hi, Claudette, how are you doing?
03:21I'd be better if you'd start making plans instead of leaving everything to me.
03:24I'm not.
03:26I was, uh, hoping that you'd get involved this year.
03:29It's the first I've heard of it.
03:30Oh, I'd love to.
03:31Do you know what, the other day I was at the food bank.
03:33I was dropping something off and they told me they're in such high demands
03:36and maybe the donations could go there.
03:39Fantastic idea.
03:41And we could ask Liam if the kids could dig up some of his veggies from the allotment
03:45and bring them to the church.
03:47Walking mud down the aisle.
03:49And then we could all get together and cook a community lunch
03:53and people can pay what they can afford, yeah?
03:56So you want us to be a soup kitchen now?
03:58Loaves and fishes, Claudette.
04:01But if you think the church shouldn't get involved in feeding the hungry, then that's fine.
04:07A moustache.
04:09Bye, Charles.
04:17Girl, our house is not haunted.
04:20But there is really bad energy, Ryan.
04:23Like last night when we were asleep, I swear I heard somebody come up the stairs.
04:27I didn't.
04:28And before Marlon bought the place, that woman called Noreen lived there.
04:32You know, she died ages ago and I don't think she likes us, Ryan.
04:36I think she wants us out.
04:38Right, is this you telling me you want to marry me?
04:42The sooner the better.
04:43So there's me with Rob and Andy when they were cute.
04:47Great.
04:48And this is my grandma, Annie.
04:50Yeah, and you told me nobody messed with her.
04:52Oh, no, she was tough as the kind of woman that would call a spade a flipping shovel.
04:59And here's my mum.
05:02Aw, she's gorgeous.
05:04And, um, well, you lost her, didn't you?
05:08Yeah.
05:09It broke my dad's heart.
05:14I'm sorry, John.
05:16Are we boring you?
05:18Because I'm trying to tell you about my dead mother and you can't stop gawping at your phone.
05:22I'll have that back, please.
05:24Oh, how old are you? Fifteen?
05:25What is so important that you can't put it down for ten seconds?
05:28Now.
05:29Aaron, and another one.
05:32Oh, my God.
05:35Why is he messaging you like that?
05:39Why do you think?
05:48Hold it there.
05:49I'll get the first one.
05:53Stop, right now.
05:55Don't even think about going near my horse.
05:57It's not your horse. None of them are.
05:59Don't be ridiculous.
06:00I've been on to a bloodstock dealer. They're all going to auction tomorrow.
06:03Including Tally, once I've worked out where you've hidden her.
06:05Even try it.
06:07Now you've nicked the money, I need it to pay Caleb back.
06:10So I need the cash.
06:11I seem to remember that you put these nags in my name as a tax dodge.
06:15So that's why you refused to sign my property back over to me yesterday?
06:19No, I refused to sign because it's mine.
06:22Come on, guys.
06:23Now, hold it right there.
06:26If you had half a brain in that thick skull of yours,
06:29you'd know that you can't sell a horse without a passport,
06:32and they're all in my safe.
06:34The dealer didn't seem bothered.
06:35Well, that's because she's a friend of mine.
06:38She told you what you wanted to hear to get you off the phone.
06:41So she could call me.
06:43She won't touch them without papers,
06:45and neither will anyone with a reputation.
06:48There's other ways, then.
06:49There's glue factory.
06:51Hunt kennels might give me a few quid.
06:53Could always ship these off abroad.
06:55I mean, there's a fair few stakes on that one.
06:57Come on, guys.
06:58Let's get this over with and done with.
07:02That's the only house between here and town.
07:05We can't afford a grand a month.
07:07Well, we'll just have to talk to all three of them, won't we?
07:11Unless...
07:13I know it's a bit cheeky, but we could ask Chas.
07:17What, if we can live here?
07:19Well, there's a massive empty bedroom upstairs.
07:21You know, and we wouldn't have to pay rent.
07:23Could save loads for our next place.
07:25Well, maybe.
07:27But only if you say yes.
07:33Say that again, please.
07:34I knew you two hooked up, but you said it was a one-off.
07:37And now it isn't.
07:38You do know that Aaron is married to Robert, our brother?
07:42Not any more.
07:43And he comes with a whole container load full of baggage.
07:47Is it serious? Are you two an item?
07:51Thanks for the drink. Catch you later.
07:54And, Vic, get over yourself.
08:00I'm going to message Aaron.
08:02What's he playing at? How could he even do this to me?
08:05Do what? See someone without asking you first?
08:08John's not just someone, is he?
08:10He's my brother and Robert's, and the last person I want Aaron going anywhere near.
08:14Oh, this has got disaster written all over it.
08:17Maybe it's nothing to do with us.
08:19If they actually are a thing, there's no way it'll last.
08:23They'll end up splitting up.
08:25Or maybe they'll stay together.
08:27Or maybe they won't.
08:28And then John will drive away in his stupid van when I've just started to get to know him.
08:32It doesn't exactly give much away, does it?
08:34No, I know.
08:36And I've told him all about my life, but his is still a mystery.
08:40He didn't tell me about Aaron.
08:42He didn't mention that he was a medic.
08:44What else hasn't he told me?
08:46What else hasn't he told me?
08:48Wait! Just leave him!
08:51I'll have no choice but to take things further.
08:54You saw what I'm capable of yesterday.
08:57Next time, I won't hold back.
09:02Right, you can go.
09:04Will made a mistake.
09:09Even think about coming near my horses again.
09:12I always reckoned you thought more of these things than you cared about me.
09:15Well, that's what you get with a horse.
09:18Reliable.
09:20Honest.
09:21Trustworthy.
09:22Everything you're not.
09:24What the heck did I ever see in you?
09:27Multi-millionaire Kim Tate, I wonder.
09:29How many times?
09:31You and me, it isn't about the money. It never was.
09:34A few months ago, I might have believed that.
09:37But now, I know better.
09:39You come onto my property again, and I'll call the police.
09:43Yeah, and I'll tell them that you're a psycho who made me dig my own grave.
09:46So, good luck with that one.
09:48Just go, Will.
09:50You're keen on playing games.
09:53Why don't we play a new one?
09:55One where we don't stop until I've made your life a living hell.
09:59How you've made mine.
10:02Game on, sweetheart.
10:04May the best man win.
10:14As I said on the phone, Will knew when we were married.
10:17Whatever happened, he'd have no claim on any of my key assets.
10:21Property, land...
10:23Maybe, but a prenup isn't as watertight as you might think.
10:28And as you didn't get him to sign off on those documents yesterday...
10:32Well, turns out Will has claws.
10:34Who knew?
10:35Well, all it would take would be a decent challenge by a good legal team.
10:38And that would be it.
10:40He'd be entitled to half of everything.
10:42He could make a case to improve his settlement.
10:45Or he could ruin me.
10:50Actually, do you have time for a real drink?
10:54We can plan a strategy.
10:56But we need to act fast.
10:58I know Will.
10:59He won't have even thought about getting legal advice, yet.
11:02But we need to be quick.
11:04He won't have even thought about getting legal advice, yet.
11:07But we need to be ready for when he does.
11:10You do know it's going to cost.
11:15This place means everything to me.
11:21I've taken a lot of risks.
11:24I've made so many sacrifices.
11:29I'd rather torture it all than let him take anything.
11:35Hey! I've been calling you.
11:38Have you thought any more about moving back in with us?
11:41Oh, what the heck are you doing here?
11:43I just came to get a few final things,
11:45but then Kim's property agent just called me.
11:47I've been trying to get in touch with Tom.
11:49What is it, love?
11:50Apparently, the place is a mess.
11:52But when I left, it was spotless. He's come back here, hasn't he?
11:55He'll be OK.
11:56I've been strutting out here for ages. I can't face the thought of going in.
11:59Well, why don't you come in?
12:01I've been strutting out here for ages. I can't face the thought of going in.
12:04Well, why don't we do it together, then?
12:06Come on.
12:17I feel like he's tried to tidy up.
12:20What's this thing doing on the floor here?
12:24What?
12:28It's a camera.
12:29Don't be daft.
12:30No, Lydia, it is. Look.
12:32There's the lens. It's tiny.
12:34What would a camera be doing on the floor?
12:37Oh.
12:38He dropped it, didn't he?
12:39Yeah, on his way out.
12:41Trying to get rid of the evidence. Like he was watching me.
12:44Let's not jump to conclusions just yet.
12:46It's so obvious.
12:47This is how he knew what was on my laptop.
12:49This is why he wanted me to move back in.
12:51He wanted to see me, listen to me in my own home.
12:54Right, give that here. We're going to need that as evidence.
12:57He must have hours of footage of me somewhere.
13:00Right, come on, let's get you back to Charities and pack your bags.
13:03And then I'm going to get you back home and you're going to stay there with me
13:06until we work out what the heck's been going on.
13:16All seems fair enough to me.
13:18Found your own level already.
13:20Scum always rises to the top.
13:22You move pretty fast.
13:24OMG, how hot is he?
13:26Peter's my financial advisor.
13:28We have business to discuss.
13:30That's funny, that can so do me and Will.
13:34Sign there.
13:37And here.
13:39Signing away your soul, are you?
13:42Or maybe he's talked you into extending the terms of that loan you gave him.
13:46You know you won't get a penny back.
13:48He's flat broke.
13:49Congratulations.
13:51Just bought yourself half a haulage yard.
13:54You've sold your share?
13:56Caleb made a very, very generous offer.
13:58You wouldn't mind witnessing the signature, would you?
14:04I've got some time tomorrow,
14:06so I thought you, me and Mum can reconvene,
14:08go over some plans for the Harvest Festival.
14:10Yeah, sorry I was a bit short with you, Mum, earlier.
14:14No need.
14:16You gave as good as you got.
14:18She reminds me of an old parishioner of Ashley's.
14:21Edna.
14:22She was very opinionated and judgmental.
14:26I just want to make this parish work for you, Charles.
14:29I know attendance is really down, it has been for ages,
14:33but you've got to grab people's attention and get them through the door.
14:36And then what do I do to keep them there?
14:39Lock them in?
14:40Keep my sermons through the medium of expressive dance?
14:43Well, you know, other churches have services that appeal to the young.
14:47Maybe some live music.
14:49If the youth want that kind of ministry, they can go elsewhere to find it.
14:52Ah, good.
14:54These ideas you have.
14:56This opinionated, judgmental parishioner is very interested to hear them.
14:59Right, well, I was thinking maybe offering a glass of wine
15:03to the congregation after service on Sunday.
15:06If people want booze, they can buy it.
15:10In the pub.
15:15Mum's right.
15:16Mum's right.
15:17It's a good idea, but maybe not for us.
15:20I don't think anything is unless Claudette comes up with it.
15:23Hey, that's unfair and certainly not the case.
15:26It's your name on the notice board.
15:28It's your church.
15:29But if you're too scared of your mum to drag your services into this decade,
15:33then don't blame me when you turn up on Sunday and, oh, she's the only one there.
15:41I bought you a chair in that business.
15:43I'd put it in your name so you'd have something of your own.
15:46Give you bag yourself respect.
15:49Dad and I are sure messes, ain't you?
15:51Can he even do this?
15:53If he's the named owner, I'm afraid he can.
15:55Oh, wow. Just wow.
15:58So, keys to the yard, keys to the alarm,
16:01keys to the key cabinet and to Jimmy's stash of biscuits.
16:05You know Jimmy changed his mind about selling up to Caleb.
16:08He's meant to be your friend.
16:11And now you're selling half his business from under him.
16:13Jimmy knew this was coming.
16:15Just a bit sooner than expected. He'll get over it.
16:18So, that's me and you quits, right?
16:20Yep.
16:21That yard's worth a fortune.
16:23And now you've signed over your entire share for, what, a 40 grand loan?
16:28Plus a little bit extra.
16:30Yeah, that's between me and him, though.
16:32Commercially sensitive information.
16:34Worth every penny, though, I see the look on your face right now.
16:37So, if that's us done, you'll have to excuse me.
16:39I've got places to go and people to see.
16:42Whatever he's paid you, it's nowhere near enough.
16:46He's playing you, Will.
16:48You might be doing this to spite me, but he's the real winner here.
16:52I told you it was game on.
16:54Now deal with it.
17:03Hi.
17:04Hi.
17:06It's me.
17:34I'm sorry. I knocked.
18:01Give them to me.
18:05Who's Aidan Moore?
18:10Like Aaron. None of your business.
18:13You told me the dog tags were yours.
18:15Which part of keep out of my van didn't you get, Victoria?
18:18I shouldn't have looked around.
18:19You shouldn't have looked at my phone either, but that didn't stop you.
18:22What's your problem?
18:24Not got a life of your own, so you have to get your kicks by sticking your nose into mine?
18:27No.
18:29It's just...
18:30We're family.
18:32But it's always me telling you stuff.
18:34And I just thought we could start being honest with each other.
18:38I wish I'd never met you.
18:41So I want you to get out of my van and stay out of my life.
18:45Honest enough for you?
18:56Thanks for dinner, Peter.
18:58Yeah, Will took more in the morning.
19:01If you could just draw up those documents and...
19:05Um, I've got to go.
19:08Okay, bye.
19:17Oh, no, no, no.
19:19This can't happen.
19:21You have to leave right now.
19:23If you want to talk to me, call my brief.
19:27Seriously.
19:29Have you actually been to see a solicitor?
19:31Caleb's.
19:33Yeah, he's called the pit bull, because once he sinks his teeth into somebody, he don't let go.
19:37You're joking.
19:39No, no.
19:40Got another meeting at the end of the week, and he'll tell you what he's told me.
19:43This is my home.
19:44If I leave, it weakens my case.
19:46What case?
19:48Divorce.
19:49And I've also told him if it all happens to me, then you're the prime suspect.
19:54I have to check in with him every day at six o'clock.
19:58Good job I've got Caleb's cash in my back pocket.
20:01Then there'll be my settlement from you once we win it.
20:04Half of everything, he reckons.
20:06Well, your hot shot solicitor has failed already.
20:10Didn't you tell him we'd signed a prenup?
20:13Not worth the paper it's written on, apparently.
20:16Who knew?
20:17You brought nothing into this marriage.
20:20Yeah, it don't work like that, sweetheart.
20:22When we got itched, I thought it were for life.
20:25You told me that I'd never have to worry about money again.
20:27Because I loved you.
20:30I thought what we had meant something.
20:33That we were important.
20:35Yeah, me and all.
20:36And the funny thing is, I still felt like that until yesterday.
20:40It's funny how your wife faking your blackmail can make you change your mind.
20:44You brought that on yourself.
20:46I made a mistake.
20:47I apologise, but that weren't enough for you, so your call.
20:50You're deluded if you think you're going to get a penny out of me.
20:53All I want is what I'm due.
20:55Looks like I'll just have to see you in court, love.
20:57If you want a war, you've got one.
21:01You know exactly who you're taking on.
21:04But trust me, you will regret this.
21:08Because I never lose.
21:23I never lose.
