00:00Oh, charming. What, I need a reason to talk to my husband now, do I? Yeah, um, does he
00:16really want one of these?
00:17No, she's already gone, Mum.
00:18Yeah. Oh, Cain's on the phone. Do you want to say hi?
00:20Hiya, Cain. Mum, I said I do.
00:22Yeah, he doesn't even want his mum to make him a bacon butty. Are you driving? No, kids
00:29haven't been at school, no. Oh, OK. Well, look, make sure you give Debbie and Zak my
00:36love, yeah? All right, Dad, I love you. Bye.
00:41Everything all right, Mum?
00:44Yeah, just get some bread battered.
00:46All right. Isaac was nattering on about the tablet again earlier. I said we'd have another
00:51look for it later.
00:52Mum? Mum?
00:54Mum? Mum?
01:02Oh, are you all right? It's OK. It's OK. Let's sit you down. Let's get you sat down. You OK?
01:06Yeah, yeah.
01:07Just get you some water.
01:12We could go down to the stream and then it'd be a nature walk.
01:15Yeah, we could. Or you could go back inside and do the worksheets that your teacher sent
01:19you. Look, Lucas is doing this.
01:22So?
01:24Remy, will you please come inside and do your work?
01:27Will you stop leaving this door open?
01:30Do you know how much it costs to heat this house?
01:32Sorry.
01:36Why is everything so difficult?
01:39I'll talk to her later, OK?
01:42Hey.
01:43Yeah?
01:45Bad time?
01:46I mean, I've got a land stew here looking for a home.
01:49Well, you didn't need to do that.
01:51I know how tough it can be with a little one.
01:53That's when I don't know you're coping.
01:57You think we're coping?
01:59Thanks.
02:00That's a real help.
02:02Come in.
02:04Do you want any painkillers, Mum?
02:05Look, it's fine.
02:06I barely touched it.
02:10For God's sake, just see it.
02:11You were right and I was wrong.
02:13I can't be trusted.
02:14Mum, don't be like that.
02:16Why?
02:17It's the truth.
02:18Look, you can finish off your own breakfast.
02:20I'm going to go for a lie down.
02:22I assume you think I'm capable of doing that.
02:24What?
02:32Uh, yeah.
02:33Sorry.
02:34Yeah, that's me.
02:42Right.
02:47Er, I said I was gonna treat you.
02:55Well, I arrived first, so it's on me.
02:58Okay.
02:59I thought you said it were getting better.
03:05It's gonna take a while, but it helps, knowing that I've got you by my side.
03:14You know, you are pretty amazing, putting up with all my baggage and the accusations.
03:20False accusations, Tom.
03:21I mean, why can't people just mind their own business?
03:24If only.
03:25But, you know, let's forget about that, let's just focus on us.
03:29I feel like we need a bit of a reset, so let's start over, with me taking you out on a proper
03:37date.
03:38Pick you up at lunchtime, say, twelve?
03:39Yeah, okay, great.
03:40I'll take you somewhere special, and then we can go pick up Esther, and spend the afternoon
03:47together.
03:51You don't actually have to sit here waiting on me.
03:54Look, someone needs to be here, we agreed, remember?
04:01That was the hospital that called earlier, there's been a cancellation for the op.
04:05Oh, what, on 114?
04:08Tomorrow.
04:10They want me to do a pre-op first thing, and, well, pretty much straight away, assuming
04:15I pass.
04:16Wow, that's brilliant, Mum.
04:17I mean, it's scary, too, obviously, but it's great news.
04:21Aye, for you and Mackenzie, maybe, no more babysitting.
04:24No, for you.
04:25And, look, it's got to be better than waiting months, and your surgeon, she knows what she's
04:31doing.
04:32Aye, and she knows all the risks, and made sure I knew them too.
04:37Well, she still thinks you should have it done, though.
04:40Perhaps she doesn't like me as much as I thought.
04:45I'm scared, Matty.
04:47I know.
04:50Have you, er, have you spoken to Cain?
04:53No, there's no point.
04:56They just say, go ahead, the sooner the better.
05:00He doesn't want to accept that there could be problems, not really.
05:03Mum, he, he loves you.
05:05He just wants what's best for you, like, like me.
05:09What's with the sudden doubts?
05:11Suppose it was easier when it was months away?
05:15It's like when you arrange a night out, but when it comes to it, you'd rather stop in
05:18instead of the sofa.
05:22This isn't a joke, Mum.
05:27Yeah.
05:28Come walk with me.
05:31No, please.
05:32It'll help me explain.
05:34Come on.
05:38It's all right for you, but you're not next to the bathroom listening to it drip all night.
05:42And it won't get any better for being ignored.
05:44No, no, I imagine not.
05:46Now, in fact, in my experience, once one washer goes...
05:49Yeah, I hear you, Bear. I will call a plumber.
05:52A plumber for a few washers?
05:54Well, obviously, unless you want to step in.
05:55Oh, no, no, no, slippery slope.
05:57Never get involved with other people's waterworks.
06:00Yes, such wise words.
06:02Now, what you need is an adjustable spanner, a screwdriver, or maybe an Allen key.
06:06Well, I could just call Sam.
06:09I'm sure he wouldn't mind messing with my waterworks.
06:12Might take his mind off Sampson, too.
06:13Aye, right enough.
06:15Toot sweet, though, Liam.
06:17Toot sweet.
06:19Hey, Billy.
06:21Hi.
06:22How's he getting on?
06:23Yeah, yeah, he's good, thanks.
06:26Oh, better than Dad?
06:28It's just a work thing, box size.
06:30I'm glad I'm a doctor.
06:35Hey.
06:37I was actually going to come and see you.
06:39You were right about the car.
06:41How bad?
06:43Vinnie gave me 200.
06:44Mostly out of pity, I reckon.
06:45Yeah, sorry.
06:47I'll keep my eyes peeled.
06:50And I know that the budget's not great,
06:51but as soon as everything's healed up for you,
06:52we'll get you some work up at the farm.
06:54It's not going to be enough.
06:55Yeah, but it's a start.
06:57I mean, it's a heck of a lot better
06:58than doing something really, really stupid.
07:01Oh, terrific.
07:02Look, I have to.
07:03No, you really don't.
07:05Because whatever they're paying you, it's not worth it.
07:07It's for me, not the money.
07:09What?
07:10Just forget about it, it's nothing.
07:11I've got to get Evan home.
07:13That was so peaceful here.
07:26Yeah, it's beautiful.
07:29I just wish it didn't exist.
07:33She was so full of life, wasn't she?
07:36I mean, we should be jetting off to Rome or New York
07:39to see her latest exhibition.
07:41Yeah.
07:42Caroline Isaac causing havoc at all the award ceremonies.
07:45Yeah.
07:47She was so happy.
07:50She'd gone through all the pain and horror
07:52and she had this whole world of opportunity
07:54right in front of her.
07:56Then it was over.
07:58Gone just like that.
08:01That's how fragile life is.
08:04This is different, Mum.
08:07It's not, though.
08:09With this operation, everything can change in a heartbeat.
08:13And I can't let my kids be without their mum.
08:16I'd let Holly down
08:17and I don't want to let the rest of you down either.
08:21I know what it's like losing your mum,
08:23even if she was useless.
08:25We've all been through enough.
08:27You're not going to die, Mum.
08:29I ain't.
08:30And you didn't even let Holly down.
08:32Not even close.
08:34You weren't there, son.
08:37I know how much she loved you.
08:40How much she'd be rooting for you.
08:42It's not that simple.
08:44It is, though.
08:46If Holly was here now, Mum,
08:47she'd want you to do everything you can to get better.
08:52You've never stopped on the sofa when a big night out's on offer,
08:54so don't start now.
08:59She'll be getting back.
09:02Just a few more minutes.
09:19You know I'm a terrible patient, right?
09:22Non-stop mourning and full of self-pity for weeks.
09:26Well, if that's a yes,
09:27you can mourn as much as you want, Mum.
09:33You don't have to knock.
09:35That would be a place for you here.
09:36Well, if I've got out to do it.
09:38Although Kim is trying to...
09:39I'm not interested in whatever you and Kim are rowing about.
09:41Is she in?
09:42No.
09:44How's the kids?
09:45I'm not here for a catch-up.
09:46Can you just tell her that I came round?
09:48You don't actually want to spend time with her, do you?
09:50You do know what she did to me.
09:51This is not some petty falling out.
09:54It is, compared to what Evan's going through.
09:56Well, what's happened?
09:58No, nothing, I just...
09:59I meant his illness, nothing new.
10:01Oh, good.
10:02So long as he's no worse.
10:04Can you ask her to phone me?
10:06Oh, fine, I'll do it myself.
10:08What is it that you need?
10:09Maybe I can help.
10:11You're my daughter.
10:13I will always do whatever I can for you and the kids.
10:17At least let me help them.
10:22Things are a bit tight.
10:24It's just we've got to keep the house warm for Evan.
10:28It's just having a knock-on effect on stuff.
10:31Why didn't you say?
10:32Why do you think?
10:34I can't keep pretending it's going to be okay,
10:36not with Martel dropping off casseroles.
10:39I won't be complaining about that.
10:40She'll get him to drop one off for you.
10:43Sorry.
10:44Look, I'll get you the cash.
10:46What do you need, a couple of grand?
10:49Five?
10:50I'll pay you back.
10:52Thanks for a car.
10:55I'll sort it, I promise.
11:06Right, we'll have a brew,
11:07and then we'll check that you've got everything.
11:09What time do we need to be at the hospital tomorrow?
11:11Not till the morning, 7am.
11:13Right, fine, I'll see if Amy can take the day off,
11:15unless she wanted Kyle and Isaac to come with us.
11:17What?
11:18No!
11:20You don't even want them to know about it yet.
11:22Well, Mum, you can't keep it quiet.
11:24You're going to be in hospital for, what, like a week?
11:26A few days.
11:27Look, can you just slow down?
11:34Look, I'm sorry, Mum, but you just...
11:37You do need to talk to them.
11:39After.
11:41They'll only fuss and worry,
11:43and you're doing enough of that for the three of you.
11:46Besides, if I tell them, Kyle will be straight on to Cain.
11:49But I'm not telling them over the phone.
11:51He'd come racing down here from Aberdeen
11:53and he'd probably put himself in a ditch while he's at it.
11:56Mum...
11:57It's not up for discussion, Matty.
11:58Right, and what about Mackenzie?
12:00Or is that a stupid question?
12:02No-one needs to know until it's done.
12:04Look, you can drop me at the hospital
12:06and be back here in time to do the breakfast
12:08and the PE kits and whatever else is needed.
12:11Mum, I'm not just dumping you and running.
12:13Well, I won't be going at all if you keep being difficult.
12:15Right, OK, fine.
12:17Well, I'm telling Amy because, unlike you and Cain,
12:19we don't do secrets.
12:21All right.
12:22What secrets are these, then?
12:24Hi!
12:26How you doing?
12:41Right, well, it's a good job you called.
12:43They were all but perished.
12:45I'll sort the kitchen one out and we'll be done.
12:48I thought it was just the bathroom that was the problem.
12:51Yeah, Bear's right, though. Once one goes...
12:54Don't tell him that.
12:56You know, I meant what I said yesterday
13:00about you being a good dad.
13:03Right.
13:05And I'm sure Samson will soon get into the swing of things
13:08and start opening up to you.
13:10No offence, Doc, but do you know about being inside?
13:14No.
13:15Well, I wish I didn't either.
13:17And I could fool myself into thinking everything's going to be all right.
13:21Perhaps it will.
13:23But you're right, you're right, it's not exactly my specialist subject.
13:28Do you fancy a cuppa?
13:30I actually remembered to fill up the kettle before we started.
13:32No, I'm all right.
13:36It feels like...
13:38he's building these walls, shutting me out.
13:42Well, maybe just learning to cope.
13:44He don't want nothing to do with me.
13:47And I don't blame him.
13:49Who'd want this as a dad?
13:51Oh.
13:53Sam, I'm sorry.
13:54I've left me wrench upstairs.
13:56Come on, then, what have I missed?
13:58Well, he's here now, Mum. What's the problem?
14:00There isn't one.
14:02Can you just leave me to do things, please, Matty?
14:05I just want a bit of normality.
14:07Right, come on, you're getting me worried now.
14:10Look, Mum's got...
14:14She's got a burn on her arm.
14:17Yeah, I just had another absinthe seizure.
14:20Yeah, while she was cooking.
14:22Yeah, but I'm fine, look, it's nothing.
14:24Anyway, how come you're here?
14:26When I spoke to you earlier, you were in Aberdeen, so...
14:29Well, I was on my way down, I wanted to surprise you.
14:32As if I'm not confused enough.
14:34Oh, sorry, I wasn't thinking.
14:37Anyway, Dad's doing a lot better.
14:40Hope the larks this morning driving our Debs nuts.
14:43Practically bullied me into coming home.
14:46Oh, and you listened.
14:48That's good.
14:51Can you go and check on the cars?
14:53The cars?
14:54Cows.
14:55You know what I mean, just...
14:57Can you just give us a bit of space?
15:00Stop arguing with me, I'm buying you a drink.
15:03Two pints, please, Peter. I'll get these.
15:05No, thanks.
15:06How's them grandkids of mine?
15:08This is a bad idea. I'm going home.
15:10No, no, it's all right. I'm done now, anyway.
15:13You stay, you deserve a break.
15:15Been in the scrap.
15:17Accident at work.
15:19Oh.
15:20Well, go on, I'll bring your pints over.
15:22Thanks.
15:24I'll be back.
15:26I'll bring your pints over.
15:27Thanks.
15:32You can go into Leeds if you like.
15:34I just feel like it's way more special here.
15:36And what's the point in showing you off in a place full of strangers?
15:38Look, Tom, I'm not a prize pony.
15:41Anyway, we're in here all the time.
15:43You're right, I'm sorry.
15:44I just wanted to do something nice for you.
15:46But I caught up thinking that
15:49the more time we spend in here,
15:51the more normal it'll be for everyone.
15:53People will be used to the fact that we're a couple,
15:55whether they like it or not.
15:58There you go, lad.
16:00Cheers.
16:03So when is it, the big fight?
16:06You're not going to try and talk me out of it, then?
16:08I would if I thought you'd listen.
16:11But if you want me to keep my mouth shut around dawn,
16:14then I need to know what's going on.
16:16I'm serious, Billy.
16:17Like, you're not in the right headspace,
16:19and it could get way worse.
16:20So what if it does?
16:22Look, at least I'm actually doing something.
16:24What does that mean?
16:26I feel useless.
16:28I just want to be a good dad, like the best I can be,
16:30but with Evan being so ill,
16:32I can't even help my boy.
16:34So you're punishing yourself?
16:36That's not what it is.
16:38It's a way for me to escape reality, I guess.
16:41It's the only thing I have control over.
16:43Surely that would depend on who you were fighting.
16:46No, that doesn't matter.
16:47Because I'm the one who's stepping up,
16:50getting in the ring.
16:52And when I'm in there,
16:54there's nothing else I can think about.
16:57This is helping me deal with the worst thing
16:59that's ever happened to me.
17:02So I'm begging you, please,
17:04just keep this to yourself.
17:15You found it.
17:16Sorry, the box was...
17:19Shouldn't have been looking.
17:20No, it's only a toolbox.
17:24None of this is your fault, you know.
17:27Samson's just going to have to find the best way he can
17:29of getting through it.
17:30As long as you know he is a good lad,
17:32and that's down to you.
17:33Don't know about that.
17:34Well, I do.
17:37Right then, kitchen tap.
17:39Yeah.
17:42And forget the tea.
17:44I'm buying you a pint as soon as we're finished.
17:46Thanks, Doc, but I'm going to take our bell snaring.
17:50Snaring?
17:51Yeah, I was thinking about it upstairs.
17:53She's never been before, as far as I'm aware.
17:55As soon as I can't do out for Samson,
17:57at least I can help her take her mind off everything.
18:00I'd still owe you a pint, though.
18:02I could see you down the pub later,
18:03after you're done snaring.
18:07You're on.
18:08Yeah.
18:14You know, Kyle and Isaac are going to be so excited to see you.
18:17I've really missed you.
18:18Well, I've not been gone that long.
18:20I've spoken to them plenty.
18:21So what's going on between you and Matty?
18:23Nothing.
18:24Well, we're just...
18:26We're getting on each other's nerves, you know.
18:28I mean, it's not his fault.
18:30I don't like someone hovering over me all the time.
18:33Well, you've got no choice.
18:35Not until you have the operation.
18:37Yeah.
18:39About that...
18:41Don't say you've changed your mind again.
18:43No, it's just a bit overwhelming, you know, thinking about it.
18:47Then don't.
18:48Not if he's stressing you out.
18:50Let's cross bridges when we get to him.
18:54You'll be OK on your own while I go and have a shower.
18:56Yeah, sure.
18:58DOOR OPENS
19:03PHONE VIBRATES
19:06Oh!
19:09Hey, Debbie.
19:10Yeah, your dad got back home safely, but it just...
19:13Debbie?
19:15What is it? What's wrong?
19:21He's napping again.
19:23How was he on his walk?
19:24Slept through that, too.
19:26But Jenny did say that he'd be tired,
19:28so let's try not to...try not to worry.
19:32I know I've been horrible to live with recently.
19:35Yeah, well, we've both been shattered.
19:37Oh, right, so you're not denying it, then?
19:40Look, Dawn, I've...I've not been myself here, so...
19:44Well, we should be pulling together.
19:46Not sniping at each other.
19:48Not sleeping in separate rooms.
19:51Sorry.
19:52Door was open.
19:53Didn't want to disturb sleeping babies.
19:55Or parents.
19:57I wish.
20:08Stop looking so worried. I've thought it all through.
20:11And?
20:13And I get it.
20:14Not the fighting part, but the feeling powerless bit.
20:18It's exactly how I felt when Ruben was sick.
20:20I mean, it's not exactly the same, obviously.
20:23So you're not going to say anything?
20:24No.
20:26Thanks.
20:27But I'm not letting you do this on your own.
20:30Especially not after last time.
20:31You need someone looking out for you.
20:34And for keeping you in shape.
20:36You'll be spitting nails, kid.
20:38You'll be eating lightning and...
