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