00:30Rocking all over the world
00:36I'm getting up, I'm getting up, I'm getting up, I'm getting up
00:39I'm getting up, I'm getting up, I'm getting up, I'm getting up
00:42I'm getting up, I'm getting up, I'm getting up, I'm getting up
00:45I'm getting up, I'm getting up, I'm getting up, I'm getting up
01:00I'm getting up, I'm getting up, I'm getting up, I'm getting up
01:17Alright?
01:23Thought I suppose we were giving Dad a proper send off
01:26We wanted to know how Moira is.
01:29You couldn't have asked me that over the phone? I thought it was important.
01:33No, it... it is.
01:35We're worried about you.
01:38Cain?
01:40She has off days, but we are getting used to it, that's all.
01:44Can I go now?
01:46No.
01:47Why don't you stop here for a bit?
01:50And do what?
01:51Talk.
01:53Oh, just when I thought this day couldn't get any worse.
01:58What are you doing?
01:59What does it look like I'm doing?
02:01Why can't you not just talk to us about what is going on with you?
02:04Because I don't want to.
02:06You really think a poxy lock's gonna stop me?
02:08Right. What you're gonna do, you're gonna kick the door down,
02:10you're gonna steal the key off me because I've had so many threats like that?
02:14I didn't mean it like that. I know what we could do.
02:17What are you doing?
02:20It's back here somewhere.
02:24Ta-da!
02:28Where did you get this?
02:30It's Dad's secret stash.
02:32Don't tell him I told you.
02:34I'll tell you to my grave.
02:36You know what I mean.
02:38It's had it ages.
02:40Special stuff, is that? All the way from Motherland.
02:42Mmm, looks like it took the scenic route.
02:45What do you say?
02:48Go on, then.
02:50Oh, don't forget about me.
02:52Seriously, you're actually gonna leave me out of this?
02:55What about your medication?
02:59One's not gonna work.
03:01Really?
03:05Oh, Sam, don't do that thing where you pretend you can give me apple juice.
03:08Come on, I'm not six any more.
03:10You'll always be our kid sister.
03:12Yeah. So what we say goes.
03:14Fine.
03:19To Dad.
03:22To Dad.
03:27Ooh!
03:29Do you remember when Butch nicked that teacher's bike?
03:32Dad went mental.
03:34Yeah, until he realised how much it was worth.
03:37He flogged it, and then you lot got a weekend out of Skegness for that.
03:41You were there and all?
03:43Yeah, we weren't invited. Shadrach just shoved us in the back of a van,
03:45wouldn't take no for an answer.
03:47And now they're both out there?
03:49Growing up with Shaders.
03:52You don't think of yourself as, like, not one of us, do you?
03:59Not till you mentioned it.
04:02It's just... I think of it as being, like...
04:07..just the three of us.
04:09Together.
04:11It's all I've ever known.
04:13I'm gonna kick off at this and all, but...
04:16..you is Edit family.
04:19It's how we see you, you know?
04:21No, Dad did. He told me.
04:25When?
04:28A couple of years ago.
04:31We'd had a few, and said that you were gonna be taking over.
04:35Never told me why, though.
04:37Well, it's a load of rubbish. It doesn't mean anything.
04:40Don't say that.
04:42You know how much it meant to Dad, looking out for everyone.
04:45And you think I can do that?
04:47Course we do.
04:51No, no, no, Moira is...
04:53..awful.
04:55The tumour's getting worse.
04:57She was supposed to have an operation yesterday, but she cancelled it.
05:01Cos she knew I couldn't handle all this stuff with Dad without her.
05:04And you think I could be head of this family?
05:22WHISTLING
05:30What are you doing?
05:32What?
05:34Just thought you looked like you could use a hug or something.
05:37Get off me, you fat egg.
05:39All right, fat egg.
05:52Well, I'm really glad you've told us all about you and Moira, Kim.
06:01Come on.
06:03You're going through a lot right now.
06:06Well, you are, too.
06:08Yeah, and it's not a competition. Why are you so stubborn?
06:11All right, you're gonna have a pop at me now, are you?
06:13I'm just saying, you really remind me of Dad.
06:16Do you remember when Jota wanted to tear this place down?
06:20And Dad refused to give in.
06:22Even though we all said, Dad, there's nothing you can do,
06:25it was worth it, cos they won.
06:27Cos he refused to give in, and you're the exact same.
06:30You even went to prison, so you aren't someone to have to.
06:34Yeah, cos I had to do something about it back then.
06:38When things get real, I...
06:42..I run, or I lash out.
06:46I always have, and you two both know it.
06:51HE BREATHES HEAVILY
07:05So are you.
07:09I think you're mad, you know.
07:12Dad leaving you in charge.
07:15He wouldn't have done it if he didn't think you were ready.
07:17Not this again.
07:20You were a big deal to him.
07:22And it is to me now.
07:25It's not like he asked me, is it?
07:27Sammy, I'm sure he didn't mean anything.
07:30No, of course he did.
07:33And I don't blame him.
07:37He had to do everything for me.
07:40Cos I couldn't do it for myself.
07:43That's not true.
07:45What happened to Lydia? And Samson?
07:49You can't keep blaming yourself for that.
07:51I didn't even get to tell him about Dad.
07:54He couldn't even make it to his own grandad's funeral.
07:58We're meant to look out for our family.
08:00That's what Dad's doing it, like you and Kyle.
08:05And maybe, if I'd have raised him right,
08:08maybe, if I'd had a clue what we're doing...
08:13..he might not have got into trouble to start with.
08:19I made such a mess of things with him.
08:23I'm not a dad.
08:26I'm a joke.
08:32No, Sam, I think you've had enough.
08:34No, it's not the drink. It's just...
08:39I've already lost my dad.
08:43Now I've lost my son and all.
08:45You've not lost him.
08:48As good as...
08:51..prison changes you.
08:54I just think I could have handled things better, like Dad would have.
08:59I don't think it's right that we sit here
09:01and pretend that Dad could fix anything.
09:04Like he could do no wrong.
09:06We're not saying that.
09:07But he is. He's beating himself up over something he didn't have a say in.
09:11Dad didn't always know what he was doing.
09:13Dad would have done anything for us. He always did.
09:16Well, at the time, he almost killed me.
09:19Why are you bringing that up?
09:21Today of all days.
09:24Well, you knew.
09:25Are you just trying to ruin Dad's memory?
09:27You're right, you're not fit to be head of this family, so get out!
09:47So, er...
09:51..what happened then?
09:54How come he did it? Dad?
09:59It was around the time everybody found out I was Kyle's dad.
10:02I was out of control.
10:05All Dad did was beat half the village to it.
10:08You never died.
10:10Yeah. It's actually why Dad made me the head of the family.
10:13I always thought it was just the guilt talking.
10:15How come you forgave him?
10:18He said it was the worst thing he'd ever done.
10:22And if you'd seen his face when he told me, you'd have believed him.
10:26Dad didn't always have the answers,
10:28but he also didn't stop trying until he found them.
10:33Just like you have with Samson.
10:37You dragged that lad up on your own.
10:40You dragged that lad up on your own,
10:42which he's more than me, Dad or any of us have done.
10:46I had Lydia.
10:48Well, not always.
10:50So don't go comparing yourself when you're already the best Dad I know.
10:56Still there, then?
10:59I think somebody called me stubborn.
11:02Yeah, we're here.
11:04Oh, right.
11:05Oh, right.
11:08That was really nice, what you've just said.
11:12I didn't say anything that we didn't already think.
11:18Ooh.
11:20One more?
11:21Probably not a good idea.
11:23Probably not.
11:27See you at Dingle's funeral.
11:31Banish us for this.
11:32No.
11:33He always snaked a brew after a night at the pub.
11:36Said it helped with hangovers.
11:38Really?
11:39Yeah.
11:41You were his favourite, you know.
11:44Son, I mean.
11:46I always thought it was Seth or our butch.
11:52Oh, there you are.
11:54We were getting worried.
11:56Why were that locked?
11:58It's just a mistake.
12:01We've been chatting.
12:03Do you want a brew, lads?
12:05No, thanks. I've got some water by the bed.
12:07I think I'm gonna have an early night.
12:09I'm a bit squiffy.
12:11That's why I came back early.
12:13Do you know what? They're really doing Zak proud down there.
12:15You've been amazing.
12:17I don't even know how.
12:19I'm so proud of you.
12:23We were just telling him the same.
12:31Anything good?
12:34Just some ingredients for daiquiris.
12:36Well past the best.
12:38When did Dad ever drink them?
12:40No, the mums.
12:41He didn't think it was right to get rid.
12:45It would be nice that you sent them off together.
12:49They'd have loved that.
12:53I'll put Gail on.
13:01Did Dad ever ask about me?
13:04When you went to go see him?
13:06Yeah, of course he did.
13:07When did he ever stop talking about you?
13:10I was gonna go see him, you know.
13:12I wanted to tell him everything.
13:16Tell him the truth about why me and Tom broke up.
13:20And that I should never have got with Tom in the first place
13:22and that the second he started...
13:26I should have stood up for myself.
13:28Because that is how Mum and Dad raised me.
13:33And you did.
13:35That's why he's still here.
13:37No, no, no, no, no.
13:38I am not having it.
13:41Do you wanna know what Dad used to say about you?
13:45He said you were the strongest person he'd ever met.
13:48He'd overcome so much in a short space of time.
13:52And he didn't reckon any of us lot would have handled it the way you had.
13:56And when he was sick with his depression,
13:59he wished he'd had even half the strength that you had.
14:03Really?
14:04Yeah.
14:07And you need to realise that.
14:10You could have run away from all of this.
14:12Accepted Tom's deal, but you didn't,
14:14because you're a fighter.
14:17You're a dingle.
14:18You're a dingle.
14:29Oh, God, Belle, no.
14:33Little Billy Rock.
14:34Little Billy Roll.
14:36Standing in line and away we go.
14:39Little bit of moonshine, little bit of meat.
14:44Little Billy Rock and raw weed meat.
14:47Woo! Yes!
14:50It's been stuck in my head all day.
14:54We're all doing the same thing, aren't we?
14:58If we call it a night,
15:00it's like us admitting he's gone, isn't it?
15:07Oh, Kenzie says Moira's fast asleep, so...
15:10I'm in no rush.
15:19I wish you'd have said something today.
15:25You deserve much better than I gave him.
15:29You two did good, though.
15:33Why don't you say something now?
15:36Don't be daft.
15:37Don't be daft.
15:42I did write something, though.
15:46Will you read it to us?
15:51Please.
15:52Read it.
16:05There's not a day goes by
16:08that I don't think about what Dad said at Butchie's funeral.
16:14You never forget a man grieving his son.
16:19Talked a lot about his faults.
16:23How he was often too hard on us.
16:26Sometimes too soft and all.
16:30But I thought then, and I still think now,
16:33that the person he was hardest on most was himself.
16:37Cos that man, he taught us everything.
16:41Even when we didn't want to hear it.
16:43About what's right and wrong.
16:46And I don't mean the law,
16:48but I guess we've all learned that, too, the hard way.
16:52No, Dad always had his own code.
16:57The dingo code.
17:00And it's about what's moral. Proper.
17:04About how you look out for your family
17:07and you always see them right.
17:11Cos there's nothing more important.
17:14Be it your son, or daughter, or nephew, or niece,
17:17or, hell, a ruddy dog, even.
17:23And how you don't let a day go by
17:25without telling your partner just how much you love him.
17:28And I hope he knew.
17:30Yeah, you know, when he went.
17:31But before and all,
17:34just how much we loved him.
17:37Every one of us.
17:40Thick and thin.
17:41Rough and smooth.
17:42Everything in between.
17:45In my book, that is what love is.
17:49I promised him that day at Butchie's funeral
17:52that he'd never be on his own.
17:54And he didn't believe me.
17:57Well, he never was.
18:02And neither will we be.
18:15Does that dingo
18:16does that dingo
18:18it wasn't perfect
18:21but he was our dad
18:24and in my book
18:26that's even better.
18:35Hey.
18:43What time is it?
18:44What time is it?
18:47I'm not sure but it's light out.
18:50It's tomorrow then.
18:52Yeah.
18:54You comfy?
18:56Reckon dad would have approved.
19:02Right.
19:05I best get off
19:07or I'll be worried.
19:08We'll walk you out.
19:10Cain.
19:13I'm really sorry about what I said earlier.
19:17Which bit?
19:19I know you think you're bad at stuff like yesterday
19:22but you could have left us
19:25and I'm really glad you didn't.
19:40What are you doing?
19:42Well, if the cap fits.
19:45It suits you.
19:50Barely suits your dad.
19:56I'm going to bed.
19:59I'm going to bed.
20:01I'm going to bed.
20:03I'm going to bed.
20:05I'm going to bed.
20:07I'm going to bed.
20:10Listen.
20:13If I am
20:15going to be head of the family.
20:17Oh yeah?
20:20What if we split it?
20:24I mean there was only
20:26one man who could take all that on his shoulders.
20:30Sounds perfect to me.
20:32Yeah.
20:33Me and all.
20:35I am keeping this though.
20:36Just waiting to see what Moira thinks first, you know.
20:46So?
20:49Sorry.
20:52I'm just sick of saying goodbyes.
20:56Come here.
21:02I'm sorry.
21:03I'm sorry.
21:13How about
21:15we say morning instead?
21:19Yeah.
21:20I like that.
21:23Morning, Dad.
21:25Morning.
21:33Morning.
22:03Morning.
22:04Morning.
