00:00I know it's a shock.
00:10When did it happen?
00:14Just over an hour ago. Debbie said he'd been out poaching.
00:19Well, he was getting better. I mean, I know he wasn't 100%. I saw him this morning. I
00:27promised he'd take it easy.
00:30You know what Zak's like.
00:32Hey, why don't you sit down, darling?
00:38Was he at home?
00:41Yeah. Apparently he told Debbie that it was the best morning ever. And then he nodded
00:48off in his chair with a big grin on his face. And when she went to wake him, she couldn't.
00:58Come on. What are you doing up there?
01:00Yeah, I'm coming. One minute.
01:02Are you sure about this?
01:04She needs to be outside, Lydia. In fresh air.
01:06Yeah, but she's been through so much recently. If she wants to stay indoors, like...
01:10It's not healthy.
01:12You can't force her to go out.
01:14I'm just worried about her.
01:19I'm here. Happy now?
01:20I will be once you get your coat on.
01:22Huh?
01:23And you might want to put a sturdy pair of shoes on her now.
01:26What for?
01:27Ah, you'll find out soon enough.
01:29I think he wants to surprise you, lovey.
01:31I don't like surprises.
01:33Well, you're going to love this one. I promise.
01:37Cain, I'm so, so sorry.
01:53I thought he was getting better.
01:55So did we.
01:57Is he okay?
01:58He's in a bit of shock.
02:00Just needs some space.
02:02Yeah.
02:03Yeah, so, uh, you told him?
02:06Told him what?
02:08About your operation being tomorrow.
02:10No, I didn't get a chance.
02:12Well, you are going to, yeah.
02:13Matty, will you keep your voice down, please?
02:15Oh, come on, Mum. You have to.
02:17No, I don't have to. He needs me right now.
02:19Yeah, and you need this operation.
02:20Well, I'll just have to have it at another time, so just shut up.
02:23I can't believe you're even thinking about putting it off.
02:26Well, I have to.
02:28Look, he is my husband.
02:30And his father has just died.
02:33How can I risk him losing me a day later?
02:36Surely you can understand that.
02:37Yeah.
02:38And you are aware that if you don't go into hospital tomorrow,
02:41you'll go into the back AQ?
02:43Then so be it.
02:44Mum, if you told him, he'd insist that you went in.
02:47Yes, well, I am not telling him.
02:50Matty, he can't deal with this right now.
02:52Look at him. He's a mess.
02:54And he needs me to be strong to just...
02:59Dad's favourite place, this?
03:01I know.
03:03Used to bring us all here.
03:04Me, you, Butch.
03:06He's even managed to drag our cane along.
03:09It's not quite like the great outdoors, you see,
03:13when you want to get your life back on track.
03:15Remind yourself of who you really are.
03:17The amount of times I've heard him say that.
03:19I know.
03:21It's like a broken record when he gets going.
03:24I bet he says that to Debbie and Jack now.
03:30Yeah, this looks like a good spot.
03:33Good spot for what?
03:35Snaring.
03:37Snaring what, rabbits?
03:38Yeah.
03:39Brilliant.
03:40Or what?
03:48Where are you going?
03:49Wishingwell.
03:50I need to start telling the family.
03:52I'll go and see Belle and Sam and then our Chas.
03:55Well, can't you just ring them?
03:57I can't do it over the phone.
04:00Well, do you want me to do it?
04:01No. No, it needs to come from me.
04:04Dad, you're back.
04:05Hey, what are you doing home?
04:07School round you. I've got a bellyache.
04:09Oh, yeah, right. Sorry.
04:11Right, I'll get going. I'll call you in a bit.
04:13What's happened?
04:16Come here.
04:18Erm...
04:19I need to go out now.
04:21Why?
04:22I'll tell you when I come back, OK?
04:25Good lad.
04:29I love you, kid.
04:31Don't you ever forget that, all right?
04:38That was weird. What's going on?
04:41Let's get you sorted.
04:44Right.
04:45This bit's a bit tricky.
04:47But when you get the knack, it's easy.
04:51Do you want to have a go?
04:52Er, no, I'm good. I'll just watch.
04:55Should have brought a few tinnies with us.
04:57It's what me and my dad used to do.
04:59And then he'd start cracking terrible knock-knock jokes.
05:02Might go and see him next week.
05:04Yeah, he'll love that.
05:06I've been meaning to go up and see him for ages.
05:09Yeah, I need to tell him everything that's been going on,
05:12but I just feel like he'll be disappointed in me.
05:16Give over. He'd never be that.
05:18No, I know, but...
05:20..he's raised me better than to put up with what I have.
05:23Tom walking all over me and then me trying to stand up for myself,
05:27but he just grounds me down, so I'm nothing.
05:31You will never be nothing.
05:33Do you hear me?
05:35You're the one bright spark in this family, remember?
05:38I've got to take responsibility.
05:40No, you don't.
05:42Tom's a bully.
05:44He's controlled you, kept you away from your family.
05:46He's the one who needs to take responsibility.
05:48I really feel like I've let him down.
05:50Don't be daft. You could never let your dad down.
05:53Him and Lisa were made up when you came along.
05:56I were in Ireland and I come back and there you were.
06:00Dad said it was the best Christmas day ever.
06:03Trust me to miss it.
06:06BIRDS CHIRP
06:08What are you doing? I don't want to kill these rabbits.
06:11Well, if we don't, a fox or some other animal will.
06:15It's nature.
06:16A circle of life, as my dad says.
06:19Sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly.
06:23Right.
06:26Let's get going. I'll come back tomorrow, see if we've snared out.
06:35BIRDS CHIRP
06:39Do you remember the time Mum made you coffee so you couldn't go to the pub?
06:43Yeah, cos we went anyway on birthdays.
06:45Yeah, Diane wouldn't serve him.
06:47So he got Terry's bag and downed it in a wannit.
06:49Hey!
06:51What are you doing here?
06:55Bloody annoying.
06:57I was waiting for you two to get back.

09:25I only spoke to him a couple of days ago and he...
09:28He said he was on the mend.
09:31Where's Noah?
09:33He's on a course in Sheffield. He said he's on his way there.
09:36Would you give this to Sam for me?
09:38Ask him how he is.
09:41Why isn't she picking up?
09:44Who is it you're trying to call?
09:46Deb's.
09:47I mean, she'd be an absolute mess if she was the one that found him.
09:50Can't get hold of Ryan, either.
09:52Look, I'm gonna get off.
09:54Ain't Gail working?
09:55Oh, yeah.
09:56So stay. She'll be able to manage.
09:58No, my love, I really need to go.
10:00OK.
10:03Just pick up, please.
10:07Yeah, I'm gonna ask her for a loan.
10:10I know she'd happily let me starve on the streets,
10:12but she won't let you and the kids go without.
10:16Yeah.
10:17I'm gonna have to go, Dawn. I'll, er... I'll call you back in.
10:24I, er...
10:25I need to ask you something.
10:29I've had Lydia on the phone.
10:32Oh, yeah?
10:35Zak's gone.
10:37What?
10:39Passed away this morning.
10:41Oh, hey.
10:42Bless you. Come here.
10:45Oh.
10:57Hey. You OK?
11:01What's happened?
11:03Hey.
11:04Come on, you can tell me.
11:08Uncle Zak.
11:11What about him?
11:15Oh.
11:22Oh.
11:26I'm so, so sorry.
11:32Come on.
11:33Let me walk you back to the pub.
11:35No.
11:36I can't deal with that. Not... Not yet.
11:38Anyway, I should be with the others, but I couldn't deal with that either.
11:41OK.
11:42OK.
11:43Let's go for a walk.
11:44Liam, I'm sure you've got much more interesting things to be doing
11:48than looking after me. I'm fine.
11:51I'm not taking no for an answer.
11:53Well, you're gonna have to this time, OK?
11:55Well, I'm not.
11:56You're overruled.
11:57Come on.
11:59Oh.
12:08Yeah, we're fine.
12:09We're all up at wishing well together.
12:11I just wish you could be with us, Debs.
12:14Where's Belle?
12:18I didn't realise she weren't here.
12:20I haven't seen her for a while, actually.
12:23Maybe I should go out and look for her.
12:25No. No, you stay here.
12:27Are you sure? Honestly, I really don't...
12:30Listen, I'm gonna have to get off. I told Mary I'd be off in an hour.
12:34I need to tell April and Leo.
12:36OK, lovey.
12:38Seems unreal, doesn't it?
12:40Very.
12:42Him and Lisa were so kind to me.
12:54I kept on saying I'd get up and then I didn't.
12:57Hey, I said the same a hundred times.
13:00I'm just lucky I went up when I did.
13:03Good.
13:05How's Belle?
13:06What about her?
13:07No, she's not here.
13:09So where is she?
13:11I don't know.
13:12I don't know how I'm gonna tell Aaron.
13:15Was he not up at wishing well with you?
13:17No, he's away.
13:18Another scrap trip.
13:20Chas, all he's gonna want to do is support you.
13:23I know.
13:25But he's gonna be devastated.
13:28Uncle Zak was always the one that we went to when we were in trouble.
13:32And as you know, my Aaron gets in more trouble than most.
13:37Yeah, well...
13:38Zak was a very special person.
13:41Do you mind if we sit down?
13:43No, no, not at all.
13:51I don't know why, but I'm suddenly exhausted.
13:56Well, perfectly normal under the circumstances.
14:00Don't you dare go all doctor-y on me.
14:02Sorry.
14:04You know, I've hardly ever seen my family.
14:08Don't really get on.
14:09But you, Dingles?
14:11You're close.
14:12You've never experienced Dingle Court, have you?
14:14No.
14:15No, but I've heard about it.
14:19He was so fierce when he was young.
14:22You should've known him back then.
14:25Terrifying.
14:27You dare...
14:29You dare defy the Dingle Court and God help you.
14:32And I say you'd think before you talk back to him.
14:34Oh, I did.
14:35But we respected him, you know.
14:39No matter what, we respected him because he was the head of the family,
14:42and that was that.
14:46Like a dad to me.
14:54Looks like someone's wondering where you are.
14:59What did you do that for?
15:02I'm not leaving you on your own.
15:04I'm fine.
15:05No, you're not.
15:06Ella's waiting for you.
15:07So?
15:09I want to be with you.
15:12Right, Liam.
15:14I think you should go.
15:27You sure you're gonna be okay?
15:28Yeah.
15:29Yeah.
15:36I'm sorry.
15:40Liam.
15:45Thanks for the chat.
15:47I really appreciate it.
16:00You okay?
16:03Not really, no.
16:06I want my dad.
16:08I want him.
16:11We all do.
16:14It's gonna be okay.
16:17I promise you.
16:19And we remember.
16:21And me.
16:23And we remember.
16:25And me.
16:30What happens now?
16:34I'm gonna go back to Aberdeen later.
16:38I'm gonna bring him home.
16:41At least he's with mum now.
16:44Unlike Lisa.
16:47He died peacefully.
16:49I so took him for granted.
16:52I really felt like he was gonna be here forever.
16:57We all did.
17:00Thanks, lads.
17:02Have you seen Cain?
17:03He's out with Sam, looking for Belle.
17:06Oh, dear.
17:07No, it's fine.
17:08I stuck my head out the door.
17:10They're just over in one of the fields.
17:12It's probably what they need.
17:13Exactly.
17:15They're certainly gonna need each other now.
17:16Okay.
17:21Hey.
17:22Just in time for a drink, eh?
17:23Er, not for me, Tar.
17:24I'm driving up to Aberdeen in a bit.
17:26Belle, come on, sit down.
17:29How was the snaring?
17:31Oh.
17:33Seems like ages ago now.
17:36Well,
17:37a lot's happened since then.
17:41When was the last time I took our Belle out snaring?
17:43I don't know, let me have a think.
17:45The answer's never.
17:47But earlier I got this really strong feeling that I had to.
17:51Why was that, then?
17:53I think my dad wanted me to.
17:55Right.
17:56And I know it sounds daft,
17:58but we were there with us today.
18:01I know it.
18:03Well,
18:04stranger things have happened.
18:10I'm gonna have to ring the prison in a bit.
18:12Ask them if they'll let Samson know his grandad's died.
18:15What, and have someone who's not family tell him?
18:18I've got no choice, have I?
18:21He needs to know, today.
18:24I suppose.
18:30Zak knew exactly what was important in life.
18:34Family.
18:36For him, they came first,
18:38and they came last.
18:40He put family above everything.
18:44Well, you can't go wrong with that philosophy.
18:47We could all learn a lesson from that.
18:49Agreed.
18:53He was never considered a bright man,
18:56when in fact,
18:58he was one of the brightest men I knew.
19:06He sure as hell knew how to get what he wanted.
19:09Be it legal or illegal.
19:13I admired him for that.
19:19What was it you wanted to ask me?
19:21Oh, it...
19:23It don't matter.
19:24It was something to note.
19:25Sure?
19:26Absolutely.
19:28Come here.
19:36You all right?
19:37Yeah.
19:39Then I hurry.
19:44This is a sad day.
19:49Are you going to be okay?
19:51Yeah.
19:52Are you sure you want to do this?
19:55More than anything I've ever done.
20:07They're beautiful.
20:09We're so sorry.
20:11My sincere condolences.
20:30Safe journey, mate.
20:33She'll be getting off.
20:34Love you.
20:36Drive carefully.
20:39Thanks.
20:45Bring him home safely.
21:09Tomorrow night.
