00:00Oh, charming. What, I need a reason to talk to my husband now, do I? Yeah, um, does Hibby
00:16want 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?
00:27No, kids haven't been at school, no.
00:32Oh, OK. Well, look, make sure you give Debbie and Zak my love, yeah?
00:37All right, Dad, I love you.
00:39Bye.
00:41Everything all right, Mum?
00:43Yeah, just get some bread battered.
00:46All right. Isaac was nattering on about the tablet again earlier.
00:50I said we'd have another look for it later.
00:53Mum?
00:56Mum?
01:01Ow! Are you all right? It's OK, it's OK. Let's sit you down.
01:04Let's get you sat down. 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 nature walk.
01:15Yeah, we could. Or you could go back inside and do the worksheets that your teacher sent you.
01:21Look, 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?
01:42Come here.
01:46Bad time?
01:47Well, 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.
01:53And that's when...
01:55I don't know how you're coping.
01:57You think we're coping?
01:59Thanks. That'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. I can't be trusted.
02:14Mum, don't be like that.
02:16Why? It's the truth.
02:19Look, 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.
02:27PHONE RINGS
02:32What?
02:36Er, yeah, sorry, yeah, that's me.
02:44Right.
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.
03:22Why 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 let's 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'll take someone special.
03:45And then we can go pick up Esther and spend the afternoon together.
03:51You don't actually have to sit here waiting on me.
03:54Look, 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.
04:09They want me to do a pre-op first thing,
04:12and, well, pretty much straight away, assuming I pass.
04:15Wow, 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.
04:26And, look, it's got to be better than waiting months,
04:29and 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, go ahead, the sooner the better.
04:59He 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.
05:38It's all right for you, but you're not next to the bathroom
05:41listening to it drip all night.
05:43And it won't get any better for being ignored.
05:45No, no, I imagine not.
05:47Now, in fact, in my experience, once one washer goes...
05:50Yeah, 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.
05:56Oh, no, no, no. Slippery slope.
05:58Never get involved with other people's waterworks.
06:01Yes, such wise words.
06:03All 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.
06:16Toot sweet, though, Liam.
06:18Toot sweet.
06:20Hey, Billy. Hey.
06:22Hi. How's he getting on?
06:24Yeah, yeah, he's good, thanks.
06:26Oh, better than Dad.
06:28It's just a work thing. Box size.
06:31He's 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 going to be enough.
06:57Yeah, but it's a start, and it's a heck of a lot better
06:59than being really stupid.
07:01Oh, terrific.
07:03Look, I 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?
07:13Forget about it. It's nothing. I've got to get Evan home.
07:25It's always so peaceful here.
07:27Yeah, it's beautiful.
07:29I just 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
07:39or New York to see her latest exhibition.
07:41Yeah.
07:43Caroline Isaac causing havoc at all the award ceremonies.
07:45Yeah.
07:47She 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.
07:57Then it was over.
07:59Gone just like that.
08:03That's how fragile life is.
08:05This is different, Mum.
08:07It's not, though.
08:09With this operation,
08:11everything can change in a heartbeat.
08:15And I can't let my kids be without their mum.
08:17I'd let Holly down,
08:19and I don't want to let the rest of you down either.
08:21I know what it's like
08:23losing your mum, even 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.
08:41How much she'd be rooting for you.
08:43It's not that simple.
08:45It is, though.
08:47If Holly was here now, Mum,
08:49you'd do everything you can to get better.
08:53You've never stopped on the sofa when a big night out's on offer,
08:55so don't start now.
08:59We should be getting back.
09:01In just a...
09:03just a few more minutes.
09:19You know I'm a terrible patient, right?
09:21Non-stop moaning
09:23and full of self-pity for weeks.
09:25Well, if that's a yes,
09:27you can moan as much as you want, Mum.
09:33You don't have to knock.
09:35That would be a place for you.
09:37Well, if I've got out to do it.
09:39Although Kim is trying to...
09:41I'm not interested in whatever you and Kim are rowing about. Is she in?
09:43No.
09:45How's the kids?
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.
09:53This is not some petty falling out.
09:55It is, compared to whatever's going through.
09:57Well, what's happened?
09:59No, nothing. I just... I meant his illness.
10:01Nothing new.
10:03Oh, good. So long as he's no worse.
10:05Can you ask her to phone me?
10:07Oh, fine. I'll do it myself.
10:09What is it that you need? Maybe I can help.
10:13You're my daughter. I will always do whatever I can
10:15for you and the kids.
10:17At least let me help them.
10:23Things are a bit tight.
10:25It'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?
10:33Why 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.
10:41It's your game to drop one off.
10:43Sorry.
10:45Look, I'll get you the cash.
10:47What do you need? A couple of grand?
10:49Five?
10:51I'll pay you back.
10:53It's for a car.
10:55I'll sort it.
10:57I promise.
11:05Right, 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? No!
11:19I don't even want them
11:21knowing about it yet.
11:23Mum, you can't keep it quiet. You're going to be in hospital for, what, like a week?
11:25A few days.
11:27Look, can you just slow down?
11:33Look, I'm sorry, Mum,
11:35but you just...
11:37You do need to talk to him.
11:39After.
11:41They'll only fuss and worry
11:43and you're doing enough of that for the three of you.
11:45Besides, if I tell them,
11:47Kyle will be straight on to Cain.
11:49Oh, you're not serious?
11:51Well, I'm not telling them over the phone.
11:53He'd come 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
12:07and 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.
12:13Well, I won't be going at all
12:15if you keep being difficult.
12:17Right, OK, fine. Well, I'm telling Amy
12:19because unlike you and Cain, we don't do secrets.
12:21All right.
12:23What secrets are these, then?
12:25Hey!
12:27How you doing?
12:37Right, well,
12:39it's a good job you called.
12:41The robot perished.
12:43I'll sort the kitchen one out
12:45and we'll be done.
12:47I thought he was just...
12:49The bathroom was the problem.
12:51Yeah, but he's right, though.
12:53Once one goes...
12:55Don't tell him that.
12:57You know, I meant what I said yesterday
12:59about you being a good dad.
13:03Right.
13:05Right.
13:07And I'm sure Samson will soon go into the swing of things
13:09and start opening up to you.
13:11No offence, Doc,
13:13but do you know about being inside?
13:15No.
13:17Well, I wish I didn't neither.
13:19Then I could fall myself into thinking
13:21everything's going to be all right.
13:23Perhaps it will.
13:25But you're right.
13:27It's not exactly my specialist subject.
13:29Do you fancy a cuppa?
13:31I actually remembered to fill up the kettle before we started.
13:33No, I'm all right.
13:37It feels like
13:39he's building these walls
13:41and shutting me out.
13:43Or maybe just
13:45learning to cope.
13:47He doesn't want anything to do with me.
13:49And I don't blame him.
13:51Who'd want this as a dad?
13:53Oh.
13:55Sam, I'm sorry.
13:57I've left my wrench upstairs.
13:59Come on, then. What have I missed?
14:01What's the problem?
14:03There isn't one.
14:05Can you just leave me to do things, please, Matty?
14:07I just want a bit of normality.
14:09Why? Come on, you're getting me worried.
14:11Look, Mum's got...
14:15She's got a burn
14:17on her arm.
14:19Yeah, I just... I had another absence seizure.
14:21Yeah, while she was cooking.
14:23Yeah, but I'm fine. Look, it's nothing.
14:25Anyway, how come you're here?
14:27When I spoke to you earlier,
14:29you were in Aberdeen, so...
14:31I 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.
14:41Up with the larks this morning,
14:43driving our Debs nuts.
14:45Practically bullied me into coming home.
14:47Oh, and you listened.
14:49That's good.
14:53Can you go and check on the cars?
14:55The cars?
14:57I mean, just...
14:59Can you just give us a bit of space?
15:07Stop arguing with me. I'm buying you a drink.
15:09Two pints, please, beer.
15:11I'll get these. No, thanks.
15:13How's them grandkids of mine?
15:15This is a bad idea. I'm going home.
15:17No, no, it's all right. I'm done now, anyway.
15:19You stay. You deserve a break.
15:21Been in the scrap.
15:23Accident at work.
15:25Come 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?
15:37Look, Tom, I'm not a prize pony.
15:39Anyway, we're in here all the time.
15:41You're right. I'm sorry.
15:43I just wanted to do something nice for you.
15:45But I got up thinking that
15:47the more time we spend in here,
15:49the more normal it'll be for everyone.
15:51And that way, people will be used to the fact
15:53that we're a couple,
15:55whether they like it or not.
15:57There you go, lad.
16:01Cheers.
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, that doesn't matter.
16:49I'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
16:59deal with the worst thing that's ever
17:01happened to me.
17:03So I'm begging you, please,
17:05just 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.
17:25None of this is your fault.
17:27You know, Samson's just going to have to
17:29find the 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, but I'm going to take
17:49our bell snaring.
17:51Snaring? Yeah, 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
17:57for Samson, at least I can
17:59help her take her mind off everything.
18:01I'd still owe you a pint, though.
18:03I could see you down the pub later, after you're done
18:05snaring.
18:07You're on.
18:09Yeah.
18:15You know, Kyle and Isaac are going to be so excited
18:17to see you. I've really missed you.
18:19Well, I've not been gone that long. I've spoken to them plenty.
18:21So what's going on between
18:23you and Matty? Nothing.
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
18:33all the time. Well, 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
18:45a bit overwhelming, you know, thinking about it.
18:47Then don't. Not if he's
18:49stressing you out. Let's cross
18:51bridges when we get to him.
18:53You'll be okay on your own
18:55while I go and have a shower. Yeah, sure.
19:07Oh!
19:09Hey, Debbie.
19:11Yeah, your dad got back home safely,
19:13but it just...
19:15Debbie? What is it?
19:17What's wrong?
19:21He's napping
19:23again. How was he on his walk?
19:25Slept through that, too. But Jenny
19:27did say that he'd be tired,
19:29so let's try not to worry.
19:33I know I've been horrible to live with
19:35recently. Yeah, well, we've both been shouted.
19:37Oh, right, so you're not denying it, then?
19:39Look, Dawn,
19:41I've not been myself either, so...
19:43Well, we
19:45should be pulling together.
19:47Not sniping at each other.
19:49Not sleeping in separate rooms.
19:51Sorry.
19:53Door was open. Didn't want to disturb
19:55sleeping babies. Or parents.
19:57I wish.
20:05Stop looking so worried.
20:07I've thought it all through.
20:09And?
20:11And I get it.
20:13Not the fighting part, but
20:15the feeling powerless bit.
20:17It's exactly how I felt when Ruben was sick.
20:19I mean, it's not exactly the same, obviously.
20:21So you're not going to say anything?
20:23No.
20:25Thanks.
20:27But I'm not letting you do this on your own.
20:29Especially not after last time.
20:31You need someone looking out for you.
20:33Looking out for you.
20:35And for keeping you in shape.
20:37You'll be spitting nails, kid.
20:39You'll be eating lightning and...
20:41What? You've never seen Rocky?
20:43Wow.
20:45Okay. We've got a lot of work to do, then.
20:51That's better.
20:53Didn't feel like everyone this morning.
20:57What's up?
20:59Yeah, come on, I'm here now.
21:01You've not had another seizure?
21:03No, it's not me, it's...
21:05Debbie phoned.
21:09I'm so sorry, darling, but...
21:11It's Zak.
21:13He's died.
21:15I'm so sorry.
