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