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