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