00:06**Clock Ticking**

00:25**Baby Crying**
00:27Morning, beautiful boy.
00:32Morning.
00:37How you feeling?
00:39Worried about today?
00:43Well, it's not me that needs to be worried, is it?
00:47There's no point in taking it up in bets when you can drag it all up there in the tractor.
00:51And when we don't get it all put up today, what then?
00:53Leave it till tomorrow.
00:54Oh yeah, and what happens when things get left out on farms?
00:56I go to sleep soundly, and you guys all thank me for helping out.
01:00For free.
01:01Big help so far.
01:02How much fencing have you put up in your life?
01:03Well, just one second while I check my fence diary, which I keep a meticulous record of.
01:07You don't know what you're talking about, does he?
01:09Very rarely in my experience.
01:11I've ten times more experience than you.
01:13Yeah, but it's my sister's farm.
01:15And it's my ball, and you two can't play unless I'm in the nets.
01:19Shut up!
01:21But Weston Paddock needs re-fencing.
01:22He wants to take all the rolls out at once, can you tell him straight?
01:25I'd have to know what the Weston Paddock is, and then I'd have to give a toss.
01:28Yeah, pass us that, will you?
01:45Hey, I didn't know you were back.
01:48I am.
01:49How's the lad?
01:51Well, he's still got leukaemia.
01:56I got this.
02:10Well, I want to say I'm surprised, but...
02:15I want to say I'm surprised, but...
02:18Look, there's still me and you, Billy and Ellis, and their mother.
02:23Stay positive.
02:25How can I when my own parent chooses to reduce my son's chance of survival?
02:31I know it's terrible.
02:33It's absolutely disgusting.
02:36She should be ashamed of herself.
02:39She should?
02:42Weeks of lying to my face when I've been having the hardest time of my life.
02:49What are you going to do?
02:51See if you can keep this going?
02:52Like, if you sound convincing enough, I'm going to go,
02:55OK, thanks for clearing that up.
02:59Not happening.
03:02Because, Dad, I was driving to the hospital.
03:08And guess who I found?
03:22Hey, sorry, I saw you left a message while I was driving.
03:26What are you doing here?
03:28Waiting for a bus.
03:30Well, there's a bus stop in the village.
03:35Mum.
03:40Dawn, I'm sorry to call you while you're at the hospital.
03:45But to be honest, I'm glad you didn't pick up because
03:48I was struggling to find the right words and...
03:52I want you to know I tried.
03:54I really did.
03:56And I love you and those kids and I want what's best for you.
04:00But I was never cut out to be a mother.
04:03To put you first.
04:05So this has to be goodbye.
04:07You know how the rest of that goes, don't you?
04:14There must be something you can do. You're a mechanic.
04:16Of cars.
04:18I know how to fix cars. I don't know how to fix...
04:21things in the back of tractors that help put fence posts in.
04:24Wow.
04:25Wow what?
04:27You're a farmhand but you don't know anything about keeping bees, do you?
04:30That's not the same comparison, you div.
04:31Well, it's the one I'm making, you div.
04:34And the answer is make sure that the hive door is shut, by the way.
04:37It's a gag.
04:38Yeah, you need a gag.
04:39You make me gag.
04:40Well, you start packing now.
04:42It's going to take us all day.
04:44Let's change the subject.
04:46What's the deal with Cain and Moira?
04:48Dunno, they've been off for weeks.
04:51You've not got in the marital bed again, have you?
04:53Shut up, that's your sister.
04:55It was my sister last time as well.
04:57Seems to be more coming from her, to be honest.
04:59Well, it seems to be coming from him this morning.
05:02She was due back yesterday. Apparently she texts Kyle, not my dad.
05:06You know what to do, Mum?
05:08What's that?
05:10Post driver.
05:12Oh, God. How long is it going to take us to use one of them?
05:15Less time than if we just stand here staring.
05:17Right.
05:19You hold the post, because that's the easy job.
05:22You drive him in, because, well, look at you.
05:26And I'll follow you tacking the fence on, yeah?
05:29Sorry, you're now in charge because...
05:32Because no one else was solving the problem and I want to get paid.
05:35And I can't see that happening if we don't do any work.
05:38Not it.
05:40Never.
05:42Whoa, Wendy.
05:44What happened?
05:46How are you?
05:47Shocked.
05:49That you know my name.
05:51I'm starting to think maybe you should change it to Tyson.
05:54Seriously, erm, you okay?
05:57I should be a lot better when you leave her alone.
05:59I'm not sure I can do that.
06:01I'm not sure I can do that.
06:03I'm not sure I can do that.
06:05I'm not sure I can do that.
06:07Go on.
06:12Erm, I really think maybe we should just, er...
06:14Wendy.
06:16I wanted to say thank you for dropping the charges.
06:20Job done, then.
06:22Chas, can I have a small pinot grigio, please?
06:25And I'm so sorry for the other day.
06:28I told Wendy what a lot of strain you've been under.
06:31That's no excuse.
06:33Oh, well, glad you know it.
06:35Can I buy you that?
06:37What, you think that's gonna make up for this?
06:40For scaring me witless?
06:42No.
06:44I don't think it'll come close,
06:46but if you can think of anything that will, please just say and I'll do it.
06:49How about get on a bus cop in one way?
06:51Erm, all buses go one way.
06:54Just saying.
06:59Two pints of zero, please.
07:03You've just missed out.
07:05Yeah?
07:06Story of my life.
07:08Listen,
07:10this whole
07:12wait-a-year business,
07:14I don't want to be skint for that long, so
07:17we need to speed things up.
07:19Well, I think we need to wait till a few less people around here hate you.
07:22People don't hate me.
07:24Not until your self-awareness returns.
07:27Right, you know what, I think I might have made a mistake here.
07:30Maybe I should just leave you to do this.
07:32You haven't made a mistake.
07:34A mistake will be missing out.
07:36I haven't even sorted the land out yet.
07:39What are you two business powerhousers going on about?
07:43Oh, Jay's just saying that Love Story's Taylor Swift's best song
07:46and I said all two well-knocked spots off it.
07:56Letting me think that my mum had run off when I've never needed my family more.
08:00When I'm beside myself with worry about losing my son.
08:03I was trying to protect you.
08:04Oh, rubbish.
08:06Don't. Swirling turned up with Rosa's bag and I
08:09I thought that Kim had done something to her
08:11and she thought the same about me.
08:13Wow, what a wonderful marriage you've got.
08:15Obviously I knew I'd done nothing.
08:17Oh, obviously. Yeah, because you're a saint.
08:20You've done nothing, apart from straight away get on board with
08:23covering up what might have been the murder of my mother.
08:25Oh, and my favourite one.
08:27Deliberately putting Evan at even greater risk.
08:30I can't defend that.
08:32Well, that's something then.
08:34I still hope, obviously, that
08:36that one of us others, that there'll be a match.
08:40Worth the gamble, I guess.
08:44And why would you think
08:46that Kim would do something to her?
08:49Why would she think that about you?
08:53You can save yourself another lie because I already know.
08:59There was another reason that I stayed.
09:02Besides wanting to be part of your life.
09:06Another reason, or the only reason?
09:10I owed money.
09:12Oh, of course you did.
09:14Well, go on.
09:16I broke my arm.
09:18The hospital called you, Dad.
09:20Then I met you again.
09:22Saw how well you were doing.
09:24And what, you wanted to see what you could get out of me?
09:26No, it wasn't like that.
09:28Then what?
09:29Bummed into Ruby one night.
09:32After Kim had threatened me.
09:34And Ruby hates Kim.
09:36She said to see what trouble I could cause.
09:38In my home.
09:40Where I live with my children who have been through so much.
09:44Hurting them is never part of it.
09:46Just me?
09:48No, Dawn.
09:51It was meant to be and it became something else.
09:54I fell in love with you all.
09:56You're a liar.
09:57I'm telling you the truth.
09:59Then why are you going?
10:12Because you got what you came for.
10:20Go on, walk off.
10:22But we're not done yet.
10:24Not even close.
10:28Yeah.
10:40Yeah, she's due back first thing tomorrow
10:42and yours will be the first name she hears when she's back.
10:44Lovely to speak to you, bye.
10:46Who was that?
10:48Warwick Pies.
10:50Yeah, a therapy customer.
10:52So he kept saying.
10:54I don't love being the receptionist, by the way.
10:55You've answered one call.
10:57Just call.
10:59Well, better get back to my other job as tea boy
11:01and take these to the Bicker Brothers
11:03before they grind to another hole.
11:05Oh, hi, John.
11:07How's it going?
11:09Good, thanks.
11:11Warwick Pies, very big deal.
11:13There, that's that done.
11:15And hi to you too.
11:17No hug?
11:19Have you met me?
11:21Yeah, well, I like to be an optimist.
11:23I looked like a right idiot when you did one.
11:25I don't know why.
11:27What did you do?
11:29You left without a word, I mean.
11:31I told Nate.
11:33Well, he's not your husband.
11:35Well, look, I saw a good opportunity and I took it.
11:37Wait, I've got you a wee prezzie.
11:43Don't not tell me that you haven't dreamed
11:45of owning one of these babies.
11:47Got yourself a present too?
11:49No, that's your real one.
11:51You sure?
11:53Yes, I'm sure, Cain.
11:55You know, you tell me.
11:57You act all weird, you disappear without a word
11:59and then you arrive back with a bag full of booze.
12:01A bag full of booze?
12:03It's one bottle and it's for you.
12:05So you say.
12:07So why are you not questioning the tea towels?
12:09Because people don't get hammered off tea towels.
12:13Me and Kim, we were trying to keep things from you.
12:16Oh, you did that?
12:18Hurtful things, I mean.
12:20What, like how awful you are?
12:22Rose was trying to come between us, all of us.
12:23All she cared about was ruining things.
12:25Well, if you're so clever and I am so stupid,
12:27why couldn't you clue me in?
12:29Because we didn't know ourselves for ages.
12:31What gave it away?
12:33Just a combination of things.
12:35What things?
12:37Just loads.
12:39Well, it must have been loads because wanting to kill her
12:41is a pretty big reaction.
12:43I swear, Dawn, and I know you've got no reason to believe me,
12:45but I did not hurt your mother.
12:47But you weren't bothered if Kim did, were you?
12:49You were very happy to help make that go away.
12:52So, do you know what happened to her?
13:05You've got this wrong.
13:07Oh, of course I have.
13:09Because there's no evidence.
13:11I've told a lot of lies.
13:13But I've never lied about my feelings for you.
13:16Ruby paid off my debts.
13:18And I'm sorry.
13:19Ruby paid off my debts.
13:21I was meant to split them up, bring them down.
13:24I tried to snoop around.
13:26In your grandchildren's home?
13:28Ruby was getting impatient.
13:30She knew my heart wasn't in it.
13:32I should have told her to swivel.
13:34But you didn't.
13:36No.
13:38I threw myself at your dad.
13:40Twice.
13:42The first time he said no.
13:44I tried again when Kim moved out on me.
13:46Oh, my God.
13:48It looked like Kim wasn't going to find out,
13:50so I dropped a big hint.
13:52And what Ruby was like?
13:54Oh, good work. Here's your bonus.
13:56And now you're running out of my life all over again.
13:58No.
14:00What do you mean, no?
14:02They made me pack.
14:04They threw me in the boot of the car and they drove me here.
14:06Before Kim could find out what we'd done.
14:08And they told me what would happen if I ever came back.
14:11And then your dad gave me that money to...
14:14He paid you to leave?
14:17Yeah.
14:23It was me who spiked your drink.
14:25It was an accident. It was meant for him.
14:33I love you, Dawn.
14:36And I love your kids.
14:38I'm a big fan of Billy's.
14:41But if you carry on living in that house,
14:43things are going to go bad.
14:44I know.
14:46So please, take it and go.
14:50I'm proud of you.
14:52And I'm so sorry.
14:59So then what? You just drove away?
15:02No, I'm not you. I took her to the airport.
15:06So she is okay?
15:09The fact you're asking that
15:10means you spent weeks thinking your wife might have killed her.
15:13And you've said nothing.
15:15So don't pretend to care, alright?
15:17So you found all that out,
15:20came home and said nothing?
15:23What, does that make me a bad daughter?
15:26No, actually.
15:28If you remember, which you won't because
15:30you don't care about anyone but yourself.
15:32I went straight to hospital
15:34and I came back in the morning.
15:36I bumped into swirling coming out of her.
15:38Did you say anything?
15:40Oh, hello.
15:42I don't suppose your mum's with you?
15:44No. Oh God, what's she done now?
15:46Far from getting blotto and losing her handbag, you mean?
15:49You what?
15:51Your dad told me.
15:53It's alright, it's not illegal.
15:55Not exactly recommended either.
15:57Anyway, it's there for when she turns up.
16:00Right, thanks.
16:04Not the story you told me, is it?
16:06Not the story you told me, is it?
16:08There was a drunken brawl outside the airport
16:11and I caught her breaking into the safe.
16:13Who is she, Ronnie Biggs?
16:15You were covering for Kim
16:17and she was covering for you
16:19and I have left it
16:21all this time just to see what would happen
16:23and what has happened is lie after lie.
16:26I was protecting you.
16:28You were protecting you.
16:32No, she cared about us
16:33and the kids, she wanted us in her life.
16:38She wouldn't be so cruel.
16:40Don't waste another tear on that woman.
16:45I really believed her.
16:47You're better off without her.
16:50We all are.
17:04And that's when I realised you were both lying to me
17:10and that there's nothing you won't do to save your own skin
17:13including letting me think I mean nothing to my own mum
17:16and risking your grandson's life.
17:19You're an embarrassment to me
17:21and to yourself
17:24and I'm done with you.
17:30You disappear on some trip
17:32and then you arrive back all chirpy like nothing's happened.
17:36I'm chirpy because I've just bought a really good bull.
17:39So where is it then, this bull?
17:41He's out in the car, Cain.
17:43He's having a snooze in the passenger seat.
17:45He's tired because we shared the driving.
17:47Oh, come on, you know there's paperwork.
17:51Alright, look at the business account if you want to.
17:54There's a bull-sized hole in it.
17:56Well, you could have spent that on anything.
17:58And the metric ton of farm animal that arrives tomorrow
18:01just coincidentally won in a raffle.
18:04Okay, I might have got carried away, but I got excited.
18:10Don't you want a wife who gets excited?
18:12I want a dull one. Can you go back to being that?
18:15Come on.
18:16Something is up.
18:17Not with me.
18:18Are you going to give me that hug or what?
18:21Ask the kids for one.
18:22Do you remember them?
18:28Fine.
18:34Hit you another?
18:36That might not be a good idea.
18:38Oh, well, you're already knee-deep into one bad one.
18:41In so much as?
18:42Chumming up with Jay.
18:44Chumming up?
18:45What am I, on a cruise for widowed pensioners?
18:49What's on your phone?
18:51Tetris.
18:52And?
18:53Your number.
18:54But I'm just about to delete it.
18:56Yeah?
18:58Oh, yeah, yeah.
19:12Well, that's great.
19:13Okay, I'll call you back later.
19:15Bye.
19:16How's the estate agent?
19:18We're on.
19:20We've got the land.
19:21If we want it.
19:22We've got the land.
19:23If we want it.
19:24No, of course we do.
19:25We haven't told him that.
19:26I said I'd speak to my partner first, if I've still got a partner.
19:31I just wanted to see some movement.
19:32Well, there it is.
19:33And the planning permission will be a breeze,
19:35because we're meeting on the council, so...
19:37Am I telling him yet?
19:40Absolutely.
19:41Let's get it in writing.
19:42Still trying to figure out how much I know.
19:50Everything?
19:52This is quick.
19:53Yeah, well, it couldn't be quick enough.
19:55Spoken to Jay, and Holgate is free.
19:57I doubt whether it's free.
19:59Well, luckily, we've got this.
20:01You've got nothing, have you?
20:03No money of your own,
20:05no home of your own,
20:06and now, no family.
20:09Look, it doesn't have to be like this.
20:10It didn't have to be like this, but this is how you made it.
20:13I'm not the only one that's done you over, you know.
20:15Did you forget that your drink was spiked?
20:17No, I haven't forgotten, but did you forget it was meant for you,
20:19or was that another lie you were going to tell me?
20:21Look, you know where your mum is.
20:22Let me go and pick her up.
20:23Let me bring her back, and let's get her tested for the transplant.
20:29I meant to say, none of that's true.
20:35You've been stringing me along.
20:37I had to.
20:38Let me think that this was partly my fault.
20:40Exactly that, yes.
20:44Is the car outside?
20:47I'll drive you round.
20:54Dawn,
20:57just tell me what I've got to do.
21:02Look,
21:05if you need anything,
21:07you know where we are,
21:10just make sure you stay away.
