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?
01:27It's OK, it's OK. Sit down there. Let's get you some water. Are you OK?
01:31Yeah, yeah.
01:32We'll just get you some water.
01:33We 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.
01:46So?
01:47Remy, 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?
01:59I'll talk to her later, OK?
02:00Hey.
02:01What?
02:02Bad time?
02:03I've got a land stew here looking for a home.
02:04Well, you didn't need to do that.
02:05I know how tough it can be with a little one. But I've got to do it.
02:06I've got to do it.
02:07I've got to do it.
02:08I've got to do it.
02:09I've got to do it.
02:10I've got to do it.
02:11I've got to do it.
02:12I've got to do it.
02:13I've got to do it.
02:14I've got to do it.
02:15I've got to do it.
02:16I've got to do it.
02:17I've got to do it.
02:18I've got to do it.
02:19Do you need help?
02:20No.
02:21All I did was just eat my little one.
02:22And that's when...
02:23I don't know you're coping.
02:24You think we're coping?
02:25Thanks.
02:26That's a real help.
02:27Come in.
02:28Do you want any painkillers one look.
02:30Look, it's fine.
02:31I barely touched it.
02:33For god's sake, just see it.
02:36You were right and I was wrong.
02:37I can't be trusted.
02:38Arg, Mum, don't be like that.
02:43Why?
02:44It's the truth.
02:45Look, you can finish off your own breakfast.
02:47I'm gonna go for a lie-down.
02:48I assume you think I'm capable of doing that.
02:51PHONE RINGS
02:56PHONE RINGS
02:57What?
03:01Er, yeah, er, sorry, yeah. That's me.
03:09Right.
03:16Er...
03:18I said I was gonna 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 gonna take a while.
03:34But it helps, knowing that I've got you by my side.
03:38You know, you are pretty amazing, putting up with all my baggage.
03:43And the accusations.
03:44False accusations, Tom.
03:46Why can't people just mind their own business?
03:48Well, if only.
03:50But, you know, let's forget about that. Let's just focus on us.
03:53I feel like we need a bit of a reset.
03:56So, a start over.
03:59With me taking you out on a proper date.
04:02Pick you up at lunchtime, say, 12?
04:05Yeah, OK, great.
04:07I'll take somewhere special.
04:09And then we can 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. We agreed, remember?
04:25That was the hospital that called earlier.
04:27There's been a cancellation for the op.
04:29Oh, what? On 114?
04:31Tomorrow.
04:34They want me to do a pre-op first thing, and...
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. No more babysitting.
04:49No, for you.
04:51And, look, it's got to be better than waiting months.
04:54And your surgeon, she knows what she's doing.
04:56Aye. And she knows all the risks.
04:59And 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.
05:09I'm scared, Matty.
05:11I know.
05:14Have you, er... have you spoken to Cain?
05:17No, 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, not really.
05:27Mum, he... he loves you.
05:30He just wants what's best for you, like... like me.
05:34What's with the sudden doubts?
05:36I suppose it was easier when it was months away.
05:40It's like when you arrange a night out, but when it comes to it,
05:43you'd rather stop in instead of the sofa.
05:47This isn't a joke, Mum.
05:51Yeah.
05:53Come walk with me.
05:55No, please.
05:57It'll help me explain.
05:59Come on.
06:02It'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...
06:14I 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.
06:22Never get involved with other people's waterworks.
06:25You're such wise words.
06:27Now, what you need is an adjustable spanner,
06:29a screwdriver or maybe an Allen key.
06:31I could just call Sam.
06:33I'm sure he wouldn't mind messing with my waterworks.
06:36Might take his mind off Sampson, too.
06:38Aye, right enough.
06:40Toot sweet, though, Liam.
06:42Toot 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.
06:54Boxercise. I'm glad I'm a doctor.
07:00Hey.
07:02I was actually going to come and see you.
07:04You were right about the car.
07:06How bad?
07:08Vinnie gave me 200. Mostly out of pity, I reckon.
07:10Yeah, sorry.
07:12I'll keep my eyes peeled.
07:14And I know that the budget's not great,
07:16but as soon as everything's healed up for you,
07:18we'll get you some work up at the farm.
07:20It's not going to be enough.
07:22Yeah, but it's a start, and it's a heck of a lot better
07:24than doing something really, really stupid.
07:26Oh, terrific.
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.
07:54I just 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
08:04to see her latest exhibition.
08:06Yeah.
08:08Colonising, causing havoc at all the award ceremonies.
08:10Yeah.
08:12She was so happy.
08:16She'd gone through all the pain and horror,
08:18and she had this whole world of opportunity
08:20right in front of her.
08:22Then 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.
08:52You're not going to die, Mum.
08:54Mate...
08:56And you didn't even let Holly down.
08:58Not even close.
09:00You weren't there, son.
09:02I know how much she loved you.
09:04How much she'd be rooting for you.
09:06It's not that simple.
09:08It is, though.
09:10If Holly was here now, Mum,
09:12she'd want you to do everything you can
09:14to get better.
09:16You've never stopped on the sofa
09:18when a big night out's on offer, so don't start now.
09:24I'll be getting back.
09:26Just a few more minutes.
09:44You know I'm a terrible patient, right?
09:46Non-stop moaning
09:48and full of self-pity for weeks.
09:50Well, if that's a yes,
09:52you can moan as much as you want, Mum.
09:58You don't have to knock.
10:00That would be a place for you here.
10:02Well, if I've got out to do it.
10:04Although Kim is trying to...
10:06I'm not interested in whatever you and Kim are rowing about.
10:08Is she in?
10:10No. How's the kids?
10:12I'm not here for a catch-up.
10:14Can you just tell her that I came round?
10:16You don't actually want to spend time with her, do you?
10:18You do know what she did to me.
10:20I know what Evan's going through.
10:22What's happened?
10:24No, nothing. I just... I meant his illness. Nothing new.
10:26Oh, good. So long as he's no worse.
10:28Can you ask her to phone me?
10:30Oh, fine.
10:32I'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 for you and the kids.
10:42At least let me help them.
10:46Things are a bit tight.
10:48It's just we've got to keep the house warm.
10:50For Evan,
10:52it's just having a knock-on effect on stuff.
10:54Why didn't you say?
10:56Why do you think?
10:58But I can't keep pretending it's going to be okay,
11:00not with Martel dropping off casseroles.
11:02I won't be complaining about that.
11:04She'll get him to drop one off you.
11:06Sorry.
11:08Look, I'll get you the cash.
11:10What do you need? A couple of grand?
11:12Five?
11:14I'll pay you back.
11:16It's for a car.
11:18I'll sort it.
11:20I promise.
11:30Right, 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 till the morning, 7am.
11:38Right, fine. I'll see if Amy can take the day off,
11:40unless she wanted Kyle and Isaac to come with us.
11:42What? 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,
12:00but you just...
12:02You do need to talk to them.
12:04After.
12:06They'll only fuss and worry,
12:08and you're doing enough of that for the three of you.
12:10Besides, if I tell them,
12:12they'll be straight on to Cain.
12:14Oh, you're not serious?
12:16Well, I'm not telling them over the phone.
12:18He'd come racing down here from Aberdeen
12:20and he'd probably put himself in a ditch while he's at it.
12:22Mum...
12:24It's not up for discussion, Matty.
12:26Right, and what about Mackenzie, or 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 if you keep being difficult.
12:40Right, OK, fine.
12:42Well, I'm telling Amy, because unlike you and Cain,
12:44we don't do secrets.
12:46All right. What secrets are these, then?
12:48Hi!
12:50How you doing?
13:04Yeah, well,
13:06it's a good job you called.
13:08The robot perished.
13:10I'll sort the kitchen one out
13:12and we'll be done.
13:14I thought it was just the bathroom
13:16was the problem.
13:18Yeah, but he's right, though. Once one goes...
13:20Don't tell him that.
13:22You know,
13:24I meant what I said yesterday
13:26about you being a good dad.
13:28Right.
13:30And I'm sure Samson
13:32will soon get into the swing of things
13:34and start opening up to you.
13:36No offence, Doc, but do you know about
13:38being inside?
13:40No.
13:42Well, I wish I didn't either.
13:44I could fool myself into thinking everything's going to be all right.
13:46Perhaps it will.
13:48But you're right,
13:50it's not exactly my specialist subject.
13:54Do you fancy a cuppa?
13:56I actually remembered to fill up the kettle before we started.
13:58No, I'm all right.
14:02It feels like
14:04he's building these walls
14:06shutting me out.
14:08Or maybe just learning to cope.
14:10He doesn't want anything to do with me.
14:12And I don't blame him.
14:14Who'd want this
14:16as a dad?
14:18Sam, I'm sorry.
14:20I've left my wrench upstairs.
14:22Go on, then, what have I missed?
14:24It's here now, Mum. What's the problem?
14:26There isn't one.
14:28Can you just leave me to do things, please,
14:30Matty? I just want a bit of normality.
14:32Why?
14:34Come 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...
14:44I had another absinthe seizure.
14:46Yeah, while she was cooking.
14:48Yeah, but I'm fine. Look, it's nothing.
14:50Anyway, how come you're here?
14:52When I spoke to you earlier, you were in Aberdeen, so...
14:54Well, I was on my way down.
14:56I wanted to surprise you.
14:58As if I'm not confused enough.
15:00Sorry, I wasn't thinking.
15:02Anyway,
15:04Dad's doing a lot better.
15:06Up with the larks this morning, driving our Debs nuts.
15:08Practically
15:10bullied me into coming home.
15:12Oh, and you listened.
15:14That's good.
15:16Can you go and check
15:18on the cars? The cars?
15:20Cows. You know what I mean.
15:22Just... Can you just give us a bit of space?
15:30Stop arguing with me.
15:32I'm buying you a drink.
15:34Two pints, please, beer. I'll get these.
15:36Oh, thanks.
15:38How's them grandkids of mine?
15:40This is a bad idea. I'm going home.
15:42No, no, it's all right. I'm done now, anyway.
15:44You stay. You deserve a break.
15:46Been in the scrap?
15:48Accident at work.
15:50Oh. Well, come 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.
16:00And what's the point in showing you off
16:02in a place full of strangers?
16:04Look, Tom, I'm not a prize pony.
16:06Anyway, we're in here all the time.
16:08You're right. I'm sorry.
16:10I just wanted to do something nice for you.
16:12But I got up thinking that
16:14the more time we spend in here,
16:16the more normal it'll be for everyone.
16:18And that way, people will be used to the fact that we're a couple,
16:20whether they like it or not.
16:22There you go, lad.
16:26So when is it?
16:28The big fight?
16:30You're not going to try and talk me out of it, then?
16:32I would if I thought you'd listen.
16:34But
16:36if you want me to keep my mouth shut around dawn,
16:38then I need to know what's going on.
16:40I'm serious, Billy.
16:42Like, you're not in the right headspace,
16:44and it 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 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
17:10on who you were fighting.
17:12No, it doesn't matter.
17:14Because I'm the one who's stepping up,
17:16getting in the ring.
17:18And when I'm in there,
17:20there's nothing else I can think about.
17:22This is helping me deal
17:24with the worst thing that's ever happened to me.
17:26So I'm begging you,
17:28please, just keep this to yourself.
17:40You found it.
17:42Sorry, the box was...
17:44Shouldn't have been looking.
17:46No, it's only a toolbox.
17:48None of this
17:50is your fault.
17:52Samson's just going to have to find the best way
17:54he can of getting through it.
17:56As long as you know he is a good lad, and that's down to you.
17:58Don't know about that.
18:00Well, I do.
18:02Right then, kitchen tap.
18:04Yeah.
18:08And forget the tea.
18:10I'm buying you a pint as soon as we're finished.
18:12Thanks, 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
18:24take 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
18:30snaring.
18:32You're on.
18:38You know,
18:40Kale and Isaac are going to be so excited to see you.
18:42I've really missed you.
18:44I've not been gone that long. I've spoken to them plenty.
18:46So what's going on between you and Mattie?
18:48Nothing.
18:50We're just... We're getting on each other's nerves,
18:52you know. I mean, it's not his fault.
18:54I don't like
18:56someone hovering over me all the time.
18:58Well, you've got no choice.
19:00Not until you have the operation.
19:02Yeah.
19:04About that...
19:06Don't say you've changed your mind again.
19:08No, it's just a bit overwhelming,
19:10you know, thinking about it.
19:12Then don't. Not if it's stressing you out.
19:14Let's cross bridges when we get to them.
19:18You'll be OK on your own while I go and have a shower.
19:20Yeah, sure.
19:28PHONE VIBRATES
19:34Hey, Debbie.
19:36Yeah, your dad got back home safely, but it's just...
19:38Debbie?
19:40What is it? What's wrong?
19:44HE SIGHS
19:46He's napping again.
19:48How was he on his walk?
19:50Slept through that, too.
19:52But Jenny did say that he'd be tired,
19:54so let's try not to... try not to worry.
19:58I 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?
20:04I don't, I've...
20:06I've not been myself either, so...
20:08Well, we should be pulling together.
20:10Not sniping at each other.
20:12Not sleeping in separate rooms.
20:14Sorry.
20:16Door was open.
20:18Didn't want to disturb sleeping babies.
20:20Or parents.
20:22I wish.
20:32Stop looking so worried.
20:34I've thought it all through.
20:36And?
20:38And I get it.
20:40The fighting part.
20:42But the 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.
20:52Thanks.
20:54But I'm not letting you do this on your own.
20:56Especially not after last time.
20:58You need someone looking out for you.
21:00And for keeping you in shape.
21:02You'll be spitting nails, kid.
21:04You'll be eating lightning and...
21:06What?
21:08Wow.
21:10Okay. We've got a lot of work to do, then.
21:16That'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...
21:30Debbie phoned.
21:34I'm so sorry, darling, but...
21:36Zack...
21:38He's died.
21:40I'm so sorry.
22:06You
22:08You
22:10You
22:12You
22:14You
22:16You
