00:00It's Nicky's birthday today and I still can't get a hold of him. It's the first year I haven't
00:18seen him on his birthday. I'm sure Sonny's got it covered. I hate this. Try not to let
00:26it get to you. He'll get in touch eventually. Want a coffee? I thought you'd gone to work.
00:34Not yet. I was making you breakfast in bed. Really? Thought you'd like it. I do. I love
00:43it. Come here. Come back to bed. I want a repeat performance for last night. What? Dinner
00:54with Mandy and Bear. That wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Yeah. I'm impressed
01:00you made such an effort. You even seemed to get on with Mandy. She's actually all right.
01:05For a dingle. Right, look. I've got to go. Where are you off to? Maybe I'll come with
01:13you. No, it's just boring work stuff. I told you about that investor dragging their heels.
01:19Once their deposit lands, everything will be on track. I just need to sort a few final
01:23things. Oh, no, wait an hour. Yes, I suppose. Oh, I don't sound so enthusiastic. Thank you
01:37very much. Have a nice day. Bye. Er, why have you opened that? A courier just dropped
01:59it off. I thought it might be for me. Well, it is, but you've ruined the surprise now.
02:04You bought me a watch. Yeah, well, you had your other one stolen. I know how much you
02:09loved it. You didn't have to do that. Do you like it? I love it. It's great. Put it on
02:17then. I can't believe it, you know. You're the most amazing woman I've ever met. Well,
02:25whenever you look at it, I want you to think of me. Know how close you came to losing me.
02:30I know how lucky I am to be given another chance.
02:33I don't deserve it. Well, you do. And so much more.
02:53She's acting really cagey, but I'm pretty sure Amelia's still seeing Tom.
02:57I hope not. I'm really worried about that. Oh, it's lunchtime. Why didn't you make me?
03:02Yeah, you needed to rest, Mum. I'm fine. You must be parched. I'll stick the kettle on for you.
03:06No, I can make it. It's fine. I'll make you a sandwich as well. I'm not a child. You know,
03:11I can make more on lunch. Yes, we know, Mum, but what if you have another seizure?
03:17Look, I don't have a problem with you being here, and I know that I need to have people around me,
03:23but I can still function. I'm not completely useless.
03:26Nobody's saying you are. We just don't want you to get hurt, Mum, that's all.
03:30Yeah, but I have got this thing, and it isn't going away. I have to learn how to live with it,
03:34and you can't watch me every hour of the day. It's just until you have your surgery.
03:38Yeah, well, I'm not talking about that, Mattie. Mum, if it makes you better...
03:41Look, I said just back off, OK? I'm not hungry.
03:47Wish I could take you out tonight, have a proper celebration.
03:50Aw, I'm just happy it being you and the kids at home.
03:52Yeah, well, when this is all over and Evan's better, we need a holiday.
03:56Yeah, I can't afford one.
03:57Well, we'll find a way. Go down to Cornwall, get a camper van,
04:02and I'll show the kids how to surf.
04:04You can surf?
04:04Yeah, brilliant, how about it?
04:06How did I not know this?
04:07Because we've not been anywhere where I can show off my skills. That's gonna change.
04:12We need a break.
04:13Well, it sounds like heaven.
04:16You all right?
04:17Great. Never better.
04:19I didn't even wish you a happy birthday.
04:22Doesn't matter.
04:23Yeah, it does.
04:25Well, it just shows we're better off without him.
04:28Well, I'm expecting a large sum coming in, so just message me when it lands, will you?
04:31Cheers.
04:32Hey, mate.
04:34Mate?
04:34Have you got a minute?
04:36Not really.
04:36You wanted to buy Jimmy's shares of the Horlish firm, didn't you?
04:39Yeah. So?
04:41So? So there's two partners.
04:43What? You want to sell your half of the Horlish to me?
04:47Yeah, I'll be honest.
04:50I'm in urgent need of cashing.
04:51I thought that you might be able to help me out.
04:54Why haven't you asked him?
04:56I don't want to worry her.
04:57In other words, you're desperate and she can't find out. That's interesting.
05:00No, no, no. Not like that.
05:04I need 40 grand by tomorrow.
05:07For what?
05:08Well, that's my business, isn't it?
05:09Well, I can't sort the paperwork to buy the Horlish for tomorrow.
05:12I was more hoping for a loan.
05:14Nah, you're all right, mate.
05:16Come on, Caleb. I'm offering you a deal here.
05:18If you lend me that and I don't pay back in, let's say, three months,
05:23then I'll sign my shares to the Horlish firm over to you.
05:27Come on, it's a win-win for you.
05:30Well, you're in luck.
05:32It'd use some money in from an investor, so go on, then.
05:34Why not?
05:35Cheers.
05:36But I... I need it first thing, though.
05:39That's fine.
05:41I'll get a contract drawn up so there's no backing out, though.
05:44There won't be.
05:46Cheers.
05:57Last time you had me babysitting, I tried to get Eve on this and she hated it.
06:01Yeah, she did.
06:02Until I threatened to give it to Esther,
06:04and now all of a sudden it's her favourite thing.
06:07Took it out and within five minutes the chain broke,
06:10so she had a proper hissy fit.
06:11Little madam.
06:17Okay?
06:20Yeah.
06:21You sure?
06:23Not had another row with Myra?
06:25No, no, we're cool.
06:26Cool?
06:35Listen, I know it's difficult.
06:38How are you coping?
06:40I've agreed to not talk about the tumour, which isn't easy.
06:45Every time I open my mouth I think I'm going to say the wrong thing.
06:49Need to be patient with her, Cain.
06:50She's scared.
06:52So am I.
06:54Just waiting for her tumour to get bigger.
06:56It doesn't seem right.
06:58Well, it's only a couple of months, isn't it?
06:59And then they can assess her.
07:00To see if it gets worse, which it will.
07:02You don't know that.
07:03It's changed her.
07:05It's changed her.
07:06You don't know that.
07:07It's changed her.
07:09And that is the problem.
07:11I can't carry on like this.
07:13Don't get a choice, Cain.
07:15You need to support her.
07:17And that's what I'm doing.
07:19I'm biting my tongue.
07:20It's not easy.
07:27Hey, Arthur, I was going to call you.
07:30Listen, come for dinner with me and Archie.
07:33We can get a takeaway.
07:34No, thanks.
07:35I miss you.
07:37Archie misses you.
07:38Don't use him to try and get me on your side.
07:41I wasn't.
07:42Archie can come to ours any time.
07:44I'd better prefer that.
07:46Anything to get away from you.
07:47Don't be like that.
07:49I am trying my best day to put things right.
07:52That doesn't change anything.
07:54I still care about you.
07:56And I still hate you.
08:02He'll come around eventually.
08:03What do you know about it?
08:10Excuse me.
08:12I got a call about Helen Fox.
08:14I was told this was her room.
08:16Are you Ruby?
08:18That's right.
08:19Your mum gave me your number.
08:20I'm Heather.
08:21I support you.
08:23Is she in there?
08:23Can I see her?
08:24I'm so sorry.
08:28Don't tell me this is typical of her.
08:30Getting me here just to turn me away.
08:32To test me.
08:33Mind games.
08:34Well, I'm not playing.
08:35I only came here to watch her die.
08:38Please wait.
08:41She really was desperate to see you.
08:44And now she's not.
08:47I'm afraid it's too late.
08:50Your mum sadly passed away 20 minutes ago.
09:03DOORBELL RINGS
09:16Do you want me to stay?
09:19No.
09:20I'll just be outside if you need me.
09:28May I sit with you?
09:30I wasn't exactly friendly to you earlier.
09:33You're upset. I get it.
09:36I really care about Arthur.
09:39And I'm sure he feels the same.
09:41You were just hurt and lashing out.
09:44I deserve it.
09:46Don't be so hard on yourself. We all make mistakes.
09:49Yeah, me more than most, though, eh?
09:51You know, I don't know what's wrong with me.
09:54Well, I do. I mean, I feel sorry for meself.
10:00I miss Laurel.
10:02And I miss Dottie and Arthur.
10:05And I miss us being a family.
10:07You know, I just...
10:09I hate that I've taken that away from Archie.
10:12At least he's still got him in his life.
10:15They're only across the road.
10:17It's not the same, though, is it?
10:20I know it's all my fault.
10:23You know, we were really close.
10:25I genuinely see him as my son.
10:28Then you mustn't give up.
10:31Make sure he knows exactly how much he means to you.
10:35I don't want to keep hassling him.
10:38So you're gonna let him think that he's not important enough to fight for?
10:41That you're not bothered?
10:42I just don't know what to do for the best.
10:44Ethan and I didn't always see eye to eye.
10:49But he knew how much I loved him.
10:52Make sure Arthur knows that you're there if he ever needs you.
10:56We'll all rally round her.
10:58There's plenty of us Dingles here to support her.
11:02Do you think the stress made it worse?
11:05Like when I was in prison, she must have had this and we didn't even know.
11:09You can't blame yourself.
11:10I just hate seeing her like this. She's one of the strongest women I know.
11:15She's not even able to be at home on her own.
11:18And Cale's worried sick.
11:20He's been asking loads of questions on the way to school.
11:22I don't know what to say.
11:24I can't pretend it's not serious.
11:26It's not like we can tell him it's gonna get any better cos we don't know.
11:28I'm trying not to show her how scared I am.
11:30You sound like Cain. He's stressed about her.
11:33He better not put under any more pressure.
11:35He won't. You know how much he loves her.
11:39This isn't the old Cain. He'll handle it.
11:44Why did you want to see me?
11:47Why?
11:50To say sorry?
11:54Cos if you wanted to,
11:57you had plenty of time to do it.
12:04I'm sorry.
12:07I'm sorry.
12:10To come and find me.
12:15To beg my forgiveness.
12:21But no, instead you have to be a drama queen with all this...
12:24deathbed stupidness.
12:33How could you do this to me?
12:37How could you do this to me?
12:40One more way to stick the knife in.
12:47Did you ever...
12:50love me?
12:57Amy's having the boys round for tea so we can get some peace and quiet.
13:00No, I don't need any.
13:03I'll make the most of it if I were you.
13:06I'm going to get back.
13:12Anything I can get you?
13:15Tea? Blanket? Bottle of bread?
13:18Don't you need to go back to work?
13:21I've been off for the afternoon.
13:24Ah, you're keeping an eye on me.
13:27Well, you're pretty good to look at.
13:30Hey, come and sit down.
13:33No.
13:36Silly.
13:41I can't remember the last time we did this.
13:44Do you want to talk about anything?
13:47No.
13:50You sure? Yep.
13:53You're actually doing what I asked.
13:56Don't give me a hard time. I'm respecting my wife's wishes.
13:59Some people would be grateful.
14:03Oh.
14:06I am...
14:09very grateful.
14:22Arthur!
14:25I know you're annoyed with me, but I'm not giving up on you.
14:28I'm here whenever you need me.
14:33You been with the investor?
14:36How did it go? You going to tell me who it is now?
14:39There is no investor. What?
14:42Deal fell through. What have you done?
14:45You what? Do you need me to talk to him?
14:48See if I can get him back on board? Deal's dead, OK?
14:51There's nothing anyone can do about it.
14:54We can't afford to do this on our own. We need an investor.
14:57There's nobody around here that's got that kind of money.
15:00Except Kim. Well, I'm not going to her.
15:03Right, well, then who? You need to find someone.
15:06We'll lose everything if you don't get this sorted.
15:09You know what? Right now, you're the least of my worries.
15:18Wow, you look great.
15:21Are you off out somewhere? Business meeting.
15:24Oh, that's a pity. I was hoping we could spend the evening together.
15:28I thought I might have heard from the police by now.
15:31The lack of news on Tallywell's made me lose my appetite.
15:34That's understandable.
15:37I just wanted to show you how I feel.
15:40Because us, this marriage,
15:43it's really important to me.
15:46I'd do anything to protect it, to get us back on track.
15:49That's a nice idea.
15:52But it'll have to wait. You going to check that?
15:56No, I know that. It'll be nothing important.
15:59Right, well, I've got to go.
16:02OK, see you later.
16:05Hey.
16:08Where have you been?
16:11Hospital.
16:17You OK?
16:20Yeah, I'm fine.
16:23You OK?
16:26Yeah, I'm fine.
16:29You OK?
16:33Are you OK?
16:39My mum's dead.
16:42What?
16:45Are you kidding?
16:48I thought you weren't in touch.
16:51Did your dad call you?
16:54No, he wasn't there, thank God. I don't know where he was.
16:57I didn't want to know.
17:00I don't know what hospital called me.
17:03I should have just ignored her, but I felt like I ought to go.
17:06Must have been weird, coming face to face with her after all this time.
17:09What did she say?
17:12I was too late.
17:15I didn't know she was dying.
17:18If I'd known that,
17:21I'd have got there 20 minutes earlier.
17:24As it is, I have no idea
17:28what she wanted to say to me, and I never will.
17:36I can feel your eyes boring into me.
17:39I just wondered when I got so lucky.
17:42If I'd known this would happen every time I kept quiet,
17:45I'd never speak.
17:48If only.
17:51Well, thank you
17:54for being so supportive.
17:58I will be, always.
18:01And once you've decided to have the operation,
18:04I'll be right there, you know I will.
18:11I'm not having it.
18:14Well, no, not yet, no.
18:17Wow.
18:20I can't believe I've been so stupid.
18:23You haven't listened to a word I've said, have you?
18:26Well, I thought you were giving me the choice.
18:29Well, it's got to be done.
18:32No, I'm not getting the surgery.
18:35Come on, Maura, be reasonable, think about the family.
18:38You told me in the hospital that you were going to support me,
18:41but you never meant it, did you?
18:44You don't care about me, you don't care about what is right for me.
18:47No, I do, I just want you to get better for you.
18:50Well, I might not get better, and I might die in the surgery.
18:54You've got it wrong, you're twisting things.
18:57See, this is the new Maura that likes to argue for argument's sake.
19:00I needed you to have my corner, but no,
19:03you're just thinking about yourself like you always do.
19:06I can't even look at you right now.
19:09I'm trying to get my head around
19:12why she would do this to me.
19:15Why wait till now?
19:18She could have called me any time.
19:21I've been waiting.
19:24Have you?
19:27I just wanted to hear her say sorry.
19:30No, I never will.
19:37What can I do?
19:40Hold me.
19:43Here.
19:51You know that I love you, don't you?
19:54Of course I do.
19:57My mum never loved me.
20:00Not like normal mums.
20:03I never heard her say it, except to other people.
20:06She'd tell them she loved me, never me.
20:11I never heard that from my dad.
20:14Oh, I hate this.
20:18I swore that I would never let her get to me again.
20:21You can't help how you feel.
20:24I should feel nothing. She didn't feel anything for me.
20:27She cared more about the dog.
20:31You've done OK without her.
20:34In fact, better than OK.
20:37Hey, you're an amazing woman
20:40and you're an amazing mum.
20:43My mother turned her back on me
20:47and I'm no better than her.
20:50That is not true.
20:53I had one last chance to talk to her
20:56and now it's gone.
20:59It's going to drive me mad my whole life.
21:02I'll never know what she wanted to say to me.
21:05I need a drink.
21:16I need a drink.
