00:00Oh, charming. What, I need a reason to talk to my husband, now, do I? Yeah, erm, does
00:15he really want one of these?
00:16No, she's already gone, Mum.
00:17Yeah. Oh, Cain's on the phone. Do you want to say hi?
00:20Hiya, Cain. Mum, I said I'd do that.
00:22Yeah, he doesn't even want his mum to make him a bacon butty. Are you driving?
00:26No, the kids are away at school. Oh, OK. Well, look, make sure you give Debbie and
00:36Zak my love, yeah? All right, Dad, I love you. Bye.
00:41Everything all right, Mum?
00:43Yeah, 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?
00:53Mum?
00:56Mum?
01:01Ow! Are you all right?
01:02I've got you, that's OK. Sit down, then. Let's get you sitting down. Are you OK?
01:06Yeah, yeah.
01:07Let's get you some water.
01:12We could go down to the stream and then it'd be a natural.
01:15Yeah, we could. Or, you could go back inside and do the workshoes that you teach at Central.
01:21Look, Lucas is doing it.
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.
01:43Come on.
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.
01:51How tough it can be with a little one.
01:53And that'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 pain killers, 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?
02:16It's the truth.
02:18Look, you can finish off your own breakfast.
02:22I'm going to go for a lie down.
02:24I assume you think I'm capable of doing that.
02:26What?
02:37Yeah, sorry, yeah.
02:38That's me.
02:44Right.
02:47Yeah.
02:54I said I was going to treat you.
02:55Well, I arrived first, so it's on me.
03:04I thought you said it were getting better.
03:06It's going to take a while.
03:09But it helps knowing that I've got you by my side.
03:13You know, you are pretty amazing putting up
03:16with all my baggage and the accusations.
03:20False accusations, Tom.
03:22I mean, why can't people just mind their own business?
03:24If only.
03:26You know, let's forget about that.
03:27Let's just focus on us.
03:29I feel like we need a bit of a reset.
03:32So a start over with me taking you out on a proper date.
03:38Pick you up at lunchtime, say 12?
03:41Yeah, OK, great.
03:43I think it's something special.
03:44And then we can go pick up Esther
03:46and spend the afternoon together.
03:51You don't actually have to sit here waiting on me.
03:54Well, someone needs to be here.
03:55We agreed, remember?
04:00That was the hospital that called earlier.
04:03There's been a cancellation for the op.
04:04Oh, what?
04:05On 114?
04:07Tomorrow.
04:10They want me to do a pre-op first thing,
04:12and I'm pretty much straight away.
04:15Wow, that's brilliant, Mum.
04:17I mean, it's scary, too, obviously, but it's great news.
04:21Aye.
04:22For you and Mackenzie, maybe.
04:23No more babysitting.
04:24No, for you.
04:26And it's got to be better than waiting months.
04:29And the surgeon, she knows what she's doing.
04:33And she knows all the risks.
04:35And 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, uh, 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,
05:02not 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?
05:11I suppose it was easier when it was months away.
05:15It's like when you arrange a night out,
05:16but 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.
05:33Come on.
05:38It's all right for you, but you're not next to the bathroom
05:40listening 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.
05:50I will call a plumber.
05:52A plumber for a few washes?
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.
06:01Yeah.
06:02Now, what you need is an adjustable spanner,
06:04a screwdriver, or maybe an Allen key.
06:06I could just call Sam.
06:09I'm sure he wouldn't mind messing with my waterworks.
06:12Might take his mind off Samson, too.
06:13Aye, right enough.
06:15Toot sweets, though, Liam.
06:17Toot sweets.
06:19Hey, Billy.
06:20Hey.
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, I was actually going to come and see you.
06:39You were right about the car.
06:41How bad?
06:42Vinnie gave me 200.
06:44Most out of pay, I reckon.
06:45Yeah, sorry.
06:46I'll keep my eyes peeled.
06:49And 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 gonna be enough.
06:55Yeah, but it's a start.
06:56And it's a heck of a lot better
06:57than doing something really, really stupid.
07:01Oh, terrific.
07:02But 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.
07:08Not the money.
07:09What?
07:10Just forget about it.
07:11It's nothing.
07:12I've got to get Evan 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?
07:38I mean, we should be jetting off to Rome or New York
07:41to see her latest exhibition.
07:42Yeah.
07:43Colonise it, cause a havoc at all the award ceremonies.
07:46Yeah.
07:48She was so happy.
07:51She'd gone through all the pain and horror
07:53and she had this whole world of opportunity
07:55right in front of her.
07:58Then it was over.
07:59Gone, just like that.
08:02That's how fragile life is.
08:06This is different, Mum.
08:08It's not, though.
08:10With this operation, everything can change in a heartbeat.
08:14And I can't let my kids be without their mum.
08:17I'd let Holly down
08:18and I don't want to let the rest of you down either.
08:22I know what it's like losing your mum,
08:24even if she was useless.
08:26We've all been through enough.
08:28You're not going to die, Mum.
08:30I ain't.
08:31And you didn't even let Holly down.
08:33Not even close.
08:35You weren't there, son.
08:38I 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,
08:48she'd want you to do everything you can to get better.
08:52You've never stopped on the sofa
08:53when a big night out's on offer, so don't start now.
08:59We should be getting back.
09:01In just a few more minutes.
09:08I'm sorry.
09:20You know I'm a terrible patient, right?
09:22Nonstop mourning and full of self-pity for weeks.
09:26Well, if that's a yes,
09:28you can moan as much as you want, Mum.
09:34You don't have to knock.
09:35That would be a place for you here.
09:37Well, if I've got hope to do it,
09:39although Kim is trying to-
09:40I'm not interested in whatever you and Kim are rowing about.
09:42Is she in?
09:43No.
09:44How's the kids?
09:46I'm not here for a catch-up.
09:47Can 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.
09:57Well, 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?
10:07Oh, fine, I'll do it myself.
10:08But what is it that you need?
10:10Maybe I can help.
10:12You're my daughter,
10:13I will always do whatever I can for you and the kids.
10:18At least let me help them.
10:23Things are a bit tight.
10:24It's just, we've got to keep the house warm,
10:27for Evan.
10:29It's just having a knock-on effect on stuff.
10:31Why didn't you say?
10:32Why do you think?
10:35I can't keep pretending it's going to be okay,
10:37not with Marlon dropping off casseroles.
10:39I won't be complaining about that.
10:41I should get him to drop one off here.
10:43Sorry.
10:44Look, I'll get you the cash.
10:46What do you need, a couple of grand?
10:49Five?
10:51I'll pay you back.
10:52It's for a car.
10:55I'll sort it, I promise.
11:00Right, we'll have a brew,
11:01and then we'll check that you've got everything.
11:03What time do we need to be at the hospital tomorrow?
11:05Not till the morning, 7 a.m.
11:07Right, fine, I'll see if Amy can take the day off,
11:09unless she wanted Kyle and Isaac to come with us.
11:11What?
11:12No!
11:14I don't even want them to know about it yet.
11:16Well, Mum, you can't keep it quiet.
11:18You're going to be in hospital for, what, like a week?
11:20A few days.
11:20Look, can you just slow down?
11:22Mum, I've got to go, I've got to go, I've got to go.
11:25I've got to go, I've got to go, I've got to go, I've got to go.
11:27Slow 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,
11:42and you're doing enough of that for the three of you.
11:45Besides, if I tell them, Kyle will be straight onto Cain.
11:48Oh, you're not serious?
11:50Well, I'm not telling them over the phone.
11:52He'd come racing down here from Aberdeen,
11:54and he'd probably put himself in a ditch while he's at it.
11:57Mum.
11:58It's not up for discussion, Matty.
11:59Right, and what about Mackenzie?
12:01Or is that a stupid question?
12:03No one needs to know until it's done.
12:05Look, you can drop me at the hospital
12:07and 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.
12:14Well, I won't be going at all if you keep being difficult.
12:16Right, 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?
12:24Hey.
12:26How you doing?
12:27Mwah.
12:41Right, well, it's a good job you called.
12:43The robot perished.
12:45I'll sort the kitchen one out, and we'll be done.
12:49I thought it was just the bathroom was the problem.
12:52Yeah, Bear's right, though.
12:54Uh-huh, don't tell him that.
12:57You know, um, I meant what I said yesterday
13:01about 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?
13:15No.
13:16Well, I wish I didn't either.
13:18Then I could fool myself into thinking everything's
13:20going to be all right.
13:22I think perhaps it will.
13:25But you're right, you're right, it's not exactly
13:26my specialist subject.
13:30Do you fancy a cuppa?
13:31I actually remembered to fill up the kettle
13:32before we started.
13:33No, I'm all right.
13:37It feels like he's building these walls,
13:42shutting me out.
13:43Or maybe just learning to cope.
13:46He don't want nothing to do with me.
13:49And I don't blame him.
13:51He wants this as a dad.
13:52Oh.
13:54Sam, I'm sorry.
13:55I've left my wrench upstairs.
13:58Come on, then, what have I missed?
14:00Well, it's here now, Mum.
14:01What's the problem?
14:02There isn't one.
14:04Can you just leave me to do things, please, Matty?
14:06I just want a bit of normality.
14:09Why, come on, you're getting me worried now.
14:11I hope Mum's got, um,
14:15she's got a burn on her arm.
14:18Yeah, I just, I had another absinthe seizure.
14:21While she was cooking.
14:22Yeah, but I'm fine, look, it's nothing.
14:24Anyway, how come you're here?
14:27When I spoke to you earlier, you were in Aberdeen, so.
14:30Well, I was on my way down, I wanted to surprise you.
14:33As if I'm not confused enough.
14:35Oh, sorry, I wasn't thinking.
14:39Anyway, Dad's doing a lot better.
14:41Helping the larks this morning, driving our Debs nuts.
14:45Practically bullied me into coming home.
14:47Oh, and you listened.
14:49That's good.
14:52Can you go and check on the cars?
14:54The cars?
14:55Cows.
14:56You know what I mean, just, can you just give us a bit of space?
15:06Stop arguing with me, I'm buying you a drink.
15:09Two pints, please, beer.
15:10I'll get these.
15:11Oh, thanks.
15:12How's them grandkids of mine?
15:14This is a bad idea.
15:15I'm going home.
15:16No, no, it's all right.
15:17I'm done now, anyway.
15:19You stay, you deserve a break.
15:21Been in the scrap.
15:23Accident at work.
15:26Go on, I'll bring your pints over.
15:28Thanks.
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
15:37in 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.
15:47I got up thinking that the more time we spend in here,
15:51the more normal it'll be for everyone.
15:53And that way, people will be used to the fact
15:54that we're a couple, whether they like it or not.
15:59There you go, lad.
16:00Cheers.
16:04So when is it, the big fight?
16:06You're not gonna 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?
16:23Look, at least I'm actually doing something.
16:25What does that mean?
16:27I feel useless.
16:29I just wanna 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.
16:46No, 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,
17:04just keep this to yourself.
17:15You found it.
17:17Sorry, the box is...
17:20Shouldn't have been looking.
17:20No, it's only a toolbox.
17:24None of this is your fault, you know?
17:28Samson's just gonna 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.
17:34Don't know about that.
17:35Well, I do.
17:38Right then, kitchen tap.
17:40Yeah.
17:42And forget the tea,
17:44I'm buying you a pint as soon as we're finished.
17:46Thanks, Doc, but I'm gonna 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.
17:55As 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.
18:01I could see you down the pub later,
18:03after you're done snaring.
18:06You're on.
18:11Yeah.
18:14You know, Kyle and Isaac are gonna be so excited to see you.
18:18I really missed you.
18:19I haven't been gone that long, I spoke to them plenty.
18:22So what's going on between you and Matty?
18:23Nothing.
18:25Well, we're just,
18:26we're getting on each other's nerves, you know?
18:28I mean, it's not his fault.
18:31I 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.
18:39Um, about that.
18:41Don't say you've changed your mind again.
18:44No, it's just a bit overwhelming, you know?
18:46Thinking 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 okay on your own while I go and have a shower.
18:56Yeah, sure.
18:57Oh.
19:04PHONE VIBRATES
19:07Oh!
19:10Hey, Debbie.
19:11Yeah, your dad got back home safely, but it just...
19:15Debbie?
19:16What is it, what's wrong?
19:22He's napping again.
19:24How was he on his walk?
19:25Slept through that too.
19:27Jenny did say that he'd be tired,
19:29so let's try not to...try not to worry.
19:34I know I've been horrible to live with recently.
19:36Yeah, well, we've both been shattered.
19:38Oh, right, so you're not denying it, then?
19:41Look, Dawn, I've...I've not been myself either, so...
19:45Well, we should be pulling together.
19:47Not sniping at each other.
19:50Not sleeping in separate rooms.
19:52Sorry.
19:54Door was open.
19:55Sleeping babies. Or parents.
19:57BABY CRIES
19:58I wish.
20:09Stop looking so worried. I've thought it all through.
20:12And?
20:13And I get it.
20:15Not the fighting part, but the feeling powerless bit.
20:19It's exactly how I felt when Ruben was sick.
20:21I mean, it's not exactly the same, obviously.
20:24I'm not going to say anything.
20:25No.
20:27Thanks.
20:28But I'm not letting you do this on your own.
20:31Especially not after last time.
20:32You need someone looking out for you.
20:34And for keeping you in shape.
20:37You'll be spitting nails, kid.
20:38You'll be eating lightning and...
20:42What? You've never seen Rocky?
20:44Wow. OK.
20:45We've got a lot of work to do, then.
20:51Oh, that's better.
20:53I don't feel like having one this morning.
20:58What's up?
21:00Come on, I'm here now.
21:02Do you not have another seizure?
21:03No, it's not me, it's...
21:06Debbie phoned.
21:09I'm so sorry, darling, but...
21:12It's Zak.
21:13He's died.
21:17I'm so sorry.
