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?
00:54Mum?
00:56Mum?
01:01Ow! Are you all right?
01:02Yeah, it's OK, it's good. Sit down, then. Let's get you sitting 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 natural.
01:15Yeah, we could. Or we could go back inside and get a work-shoot so we can teach the centre.
01:21Look, Lucas, he's 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.
01:46Bad time?
01:47I 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.
01:53And that's when...
01:55I don't know how 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. I 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? It's the truth.
02:19Now, you can finish off your own breakfast.
02:21I'm going to go for a lie down.
02:23I assume you think I'm capable of doing that.
02:26PHONE RINGS
02:32What?
02:35Er, yeah, sorry, yeah, that's me.
02:43Right.
02:49PHONE RINGS
02:52Er...
02:54I said I was going to treat you.
02:56Well, I arrived first, so it's on me.
03:00OK.
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,
03:16putting up with 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.
03:26But, you know, let's forget about that. Let's just focus on us.
03:29I feel like we need a bit of a reset.
03:32So, a start over,
03:35with 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 somewhere special.
03:45We can go pick up Esther and spend the afternoon together.
03:51You don't actually have to sit here waiting on me.
03:54Well, someone needs to be here. We agreed, remember?
04:00That was the hospital that called earlier.
04:03There's been a cancellation for the op.
04:05Oh, what? On 114?
04:07Tomorrow.
04:10They want me to do a pre-op first thing,
04:13pretty much straight away, assuming I pass.
04:15Wow, that's brilliant, Mum.
04:17I mean, it's scary, too, obviously,
04:20but it's great news.
04:22Aye. For you and Mackenzie, maybe. No more babysitting.
04:25No, for you.
04:27And, look, it's got to be better than waiting months.
04:30And your surgeon, she knows what she's doing.
04:32Aye. And 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, er... Have you spoken to Cain?
04:53No, there's no point.
04:55They just say,
04:57go 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?
05:11I suppose it was easier when it was months away.
05:15It's like when you arrange a night out, but when it comes to it,
05:18you'd rather stop in instead of the sofa.
05:22This isn't a joke, Mum.
05:26Yeah.
05:28Come walk with me.
05:30No, please.
05:32It'll help me explain.
05:34Come on.
05:37It's all right for you,
05:39but 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...
05:49I 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.
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,
06:05or maybe an allen key.
06:07Well, 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.
06:14Aye, right enough.
06:16Too sweet, though, Liam. Too sweet.
06:19There, Billy.
06:21Hi.
06:23How's he getting on?
06:25Yeah, yeah, he's good, thanks.
06:27Oh, better than Dad?
06:29It's just a work thing, box size.
06:31I'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. Mostly out of pity, I reckon.
06:45Yeah, sorry.
06:47I'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,
06:53we'll get you some work up at the farm.
06:55It's not done me enough.
06:57Yeah, but it's a start, and it's a heck of a lot better
06:59than doing something really, really stupid.
07:01Oh, terrific.
07:03You don't have to.
07:05No, you really don't.
07:07Because whatever they're paying you, it's not worth it.
07:09It's for me, not the money.
07:11What?
07:13Just forget about it. It's nothing.
07:15I've got to get Evan home.
07:25It's always so peaceful here.
07:27Yeah, it's beautiful.
07:29Just wish it didn't exist.
07:34She was so full of life, wasn't she?
07:36And when we should be jetting off to Rome or New York
07:39to see her latest exhibition.
07:41Yeah.
07:43Caroline Isaac causing havoc at all the award ceremonies.
07:45Yeah.
07:47She was so happy.
07:49She'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.
08:06It's not, though.
08:08With this operation,
08:10everything can change in a heartbeat.
08:12And I can't let my kids be without their mum.
08:15I'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.
08:29Mate...
08:31And you didn't even let Holly down.
08:33Not even close.
08:35You 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,
08:48she'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.
08:59We should be getting back.
09:01In just a...
09:03Just a few more minutes.
09:20You know I'm a terrible patient, right?
09:22Non-stop mourning
09:24and 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.
09:36That would be a place for you here.
09:38Well, if I've got out to do it.
09:40Although Kim is trying to...
09:42I'm not interested in whatever you and Kim are rowing about.
09:44Is she in?
09:46No. How's the kids?
09:48I'm not here for a catch-up.
09:50Can you just tell her that I came round?
09:52You don't actually want to spend time with her, do you?
09:54You do know what she did to me.
09:56What's happened?
09:58No, nothing. I just...
10:00I meant his illness. Nothing new.
10:02Oh, good. So 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?
10:10Maybe I can help.
10:12You're my daughter.
10:14I will always do whatever I can for you and the kids.
10:18At 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,
10:28it's just having a knock-on effect
10:30on stuff.
10:32Why didn't you say?
10:34Why do you think?
10:36I can't keep pretending it's going to be okay,
10:38not with Marlon dropping off casseroles.
10:40I won't be complaining about that.
10:42I should get him to drop one off you.
10:44Sorry.
10:46Look, I'll get you the cash.
10:48What do you need? A couple of grand?
10:50Five?
10:52It's for a car.
10:54I'll sort it.
10:56I promise.
11:06Right, we'll have a brew,
11:08and then we'll check that you've got everything.
11:10What time do we need to be at the hospital tomorrow?
11:12Not till the morning, 7am.
11:14Right, fine. I'll see if Amy can take the day off,
11:16unless she wanted Carla and Isaac to come with us.
11:18What? No!
11:20I don't even want them knowing 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. Look, can you just slow down?
11:34Look, I'm sorry, Mum, but you just...
11:36You do need to talk to them.
11:38After?
11:40They'll only fuss and worry,
11:42and you're doing enough of that for the three of you.
11:44Besides, if I tell them,
11:46Kyle will be straight on to 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.
11:56Mum...
11:58It's not up for discussion, Matty.
12:00Right, and what about Mackenzie? Or 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
12:08to do the breakfast and the PE kits
12:10and whatever else is needed.
12:12Mum, 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.
12:18Well, I'm telling Amy because, unlike you and Cain, we don't do secrets.
12:20All right.
12:22What secrets are these, then?
12:24Hey!
12:26How you doing?
12:40Right, well,
12:42it's a good job you called.
12:44I'm well nourished.
12:46I'll sort the kitchen one out
12:48and we'll be done.
12:50I thought it was just the bathroom
12:52was the problem.
12:54Yeah, Peter's right, though. Once one goes...
12:56Don't tell him that.
12:58You know,
13:00I meant what I said yesterday
13:02about you being a good dad.
13:06Right.
13:08And I'm sure Samson will soon get into the swing of things
13:10and start opening up to you.
13:12I don't want to stop, but do you know about being inside?
13:14No.
13:16Well, I wish I didn't either.
13:18Then I could fool myself into thinking
13:20everything's going to be all right.
13:22Perhaps it will.
13:24But you're right.
13:26It's not exactly my specialist subject.
13:30Do you fancy a cuppa?
13:32I actually remembered to fill up the kettle before we started.
13:34No, I'm all right.
13:38It feels like
13:40building these walls
13:42shutting me out.
13:44Or maybe just learning to cope.
13:46You don't know what 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.
13:56I've left my wrench upstairs.
13:58Come on, then. What have I missed?
14:00It's here now, Mum.
14:02What's the problem?
14:04There isn't one.
14:06Can you just leave me to do things, please, Matty?
14:08Why? Come on, you're getting me worried now.
14:10Look, Mum's got...
14:14She's got a burn
14:16on her arm.
14:18Yeah, I just had another absence 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,
14:28you were in Aberdeen, so...
14:30Well, I was on my way down. I wanted to surprise you.
14:32As if I'm not confused enough.
14:34Oh, sorry.
14:36I wasn't thinking.
14:38Anyway, Dad's doing
14:40a lot better. Up with the larks this morning,
14:42driving our Debs nuts.
14:44Practically bullied me into coming home.
14:46Oh, and you listened.
14:48That's good.
14:52Can you go and check on the cars?
14:54The cars? Cows.
14:56You know what I mean. Just...
14:58Can you just give us a bit of space?
15:06Stop arguing with me. I'm buying you a drink.
15:08Two pints, please, beer.
15:10I'll get these. Oh, thanks.
15:12How's them grandkids of mine?
15:14This was a bad idea. I'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.
15:26Well, go 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 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.
15:46I got up 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
15:54that we're a couple,
15:56whether they like it or not.
15:58There you go, lad.
16:03So when is it?
16:05The big fight?
16:07You're not going to try and talk me out of it, then?
16:09I would if I thought you'd listen.
16:11But
16:13if you want me to keep my mouth shut around dawn,
16:15then I need to know what's going on.
16:17I'm serious, Billy. Like, 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 want to be a good dad, like the best I can be,
16:31but with Evan being so ill,
16:33I 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.
16:41It's the only thing I have control over.
16:43Surely that would depend
16:45on who you were fighting.
16:47No, it doesn't matter.
16:49Because 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.
16:57This is helping me deal
16:59with the worst thing that's ever happened to me.
17:01So I'm begging you, please,
17:03just keep this to yourself.
17:15You found it.
17:17Sorry, the box is...
17:19Shouldn't have been looking.
17:21No, it's only a toolbox.
17:23None of this
17:25is your fault, you know?
17:27Samson's just going to have to find
17:29the best way he can of getting through it.
17:31As long as you know he is a good lad,
17:33and that's down to you.
17:35Don't know about that.
17:37Well, I do.
17:39Right then, kitchen tap.
17:41Yeah.
17:43And forget the tea.
17:45I'm buying you a pint as soon as we're finished.
17:47Thanks, Doc,
17:49but I'm going to take our bell snaring.
17:51Snaring?
17:53Yeah, I was thinking about it upstairs.
17:55No way.
17:57As soon as I can't do out for Samson,
17:59at least I can help her take her mind off everything.
18:01I still owe you a pint, though.
18:03I could see you down the pub later,
18:05after you're done snaring.
18:07You're on.
18:15You know, Cale and Isaac are going to be so excited to see you.
18:17I've really missed you.
18:19I haven't been gone that long, and I've spoken to them plenty.
18:21So what's going on between you and Matty?
18:23Nothing.
18:25We're just...
18:27We're getting on each other's nerves, you know.
18:29I 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.
18:39About that...
18:41Don't say you've changed your mind again.
18:43No, it's just a bit overwhelming,
18:45you know, thinking about it.
18:47Then don't.
18:49Not if he's stressing you out.
18:51He'll be on his knees when we get to him.
18:53You'll be OK on your own
18:55while I go and have a shower.
18:57Yeah, sure.
19:07Oh!
19:09Hey, Debbie.
19:11Yeah, your dad got back home safely,
19:13but it's just...
19:15Debbie?
19:17What is it? What's wrong?
19:21He's napping again.
19:23How was he on his walk?
19:25Slept through that, too.
19:27But Jenny did say that he'd be tired,
19:29so let's 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?
19:39I don't.
19:41I've not been myself either, so...
19:43Well, we should be pulling together.
19:45Not sniping at each other.
19:47Not sleeping in separate rooms.
19:49Sorry.
19:51Door was open.
19:53Didn't want to disturb sleeping babies.
19:55Or parents.
19:57I wish.
20:07Stop looking so worried.
20:09I've thought it all through.
20:11And?
20:13And 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.
20:27Thanks.
