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.
00:19But he was getting better. I mean, I know he wasn't 100 per cent. I saw him this morning.
00:27I mean, he promised he'd take it easy.
00:30You know what Zak's like.
00:35Hey, why don't you sit down, darling?
00:38Was he at home?
00:40Yeah.
00:41Apparently, he told Debbie that it was the best morning ever.
00:47And then he nodded off in his chair with a big grin on his face, and...
00:53When 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...
01:11It'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?
01:21I 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.
01:30I think he wants to surprise you, lovey.
01:31I don't like surprises.
01:33Well, you're gonna love this one, I promise.
01:37I can't get your number. I'm so... I'm so sorry.
01:53I thought he was getting better.
01:55So did we.
01:57Is he OK?
01:58He's in a bit of shock.
02:00Just needs some space.
02:02Yeah.
02:03Yeah, so, er, have 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.
02:22I can't believe you're even thinking about putting it off.
02:26Well, I have to.
02:28Like, he is my husband, and his father has just died.
02:34How can I risk him losing me a day later?
02:36Surely he can understand that.
02:38Yeah.
02:39And you are aware that if you don't go into hospital tomorrow,
02:41you'll go to the back of the queue.
02:43Then so be it.
02:45Mum, 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, so just...
02:58Dad's favourite place, this.
03:01I know.
03:02Used to bring us all here.
03:04Me, you, Butch.
03:06He's even managed to drag our Cain along.
03:09It's not quite like the great outdoors, you'd say.
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.
03:28Yeah.
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?
03:49Wasting my time.
03:50I need to start telling the family.
03:52I'm going to 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.
04:00Do 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 ran you, I've got a bellyache.
04:08Oh, yeah, right, sorry.
04:10Right, I'll get going, I'll call you in a bit.
04:13What's happened?
04:16Come here.
04:18Erm, I need to go out now.
04:22Why?
04:23I'll tell you when I come back, OK?
04:26Good lad.
04:30I love you, kid.
04:31Don't you ever forget that, all right?
04:39That was weird.
04:40What's going on?
04:42Let's get you sorted.
04:45Right, this bit's a bit tricky.
04:49But when you get the knack, it's easy.
04:52Do you want to have a go?
04:53Er, no, I'm good, I'll just watch.
04:56Should have bought a few tinnies with us.
04:58It's what me and my dad used to do.
05:00And then he'd start cracking terrible knock-knock jokes.
05:03Might go see him next week.
05:05Yeah, he'll love that.
05:07I've been meaning to go up and see him for ages.
05:10Yeah, 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...
05:21..he's raised me better than to put up with what I have.
05:24Tom walking all over me and then me
05:26trying to stand up for myself,
05:27but he just grounds me down till I'm nothing.
05:31You will never be nothing.
05:34Do 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.
05:43Tom's a bully.
05:44He's controlled you, kept you away from your family.
05:46He's the one who needs to take responsibility.
05:49I really feel like I've let him down.
05:51Don't be daft, you could never let your dad down.
05:54Him and Lisa were made up when you came along.
05:57I were in Ireland, and I come back, and there you were.
06:00Dad said it was the best Christmas day ever.
06:04Trust me to miss it.
06:09What are you doing?
06:10I don't want to kill these rabbits.
06:12Well, if we don't, a fox or some other animal will.
06:16It's nature.
06:17A circle of life, as my dad says.
06:20Sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly.
06:24Right.
06:28Let's get going, I'll come back tomorrow,
06:30see if we've snared out.
06:40Do you remember the time, Mum,
06:41when you brought me two cuckoos before?
06:43Yeah, two went anywhere in first aid.
06:45Yeah, Diane would have been serving.
06:47So he got Terry's bag and downed it in a wannit.
06:49Hey!
06:52What are you doing here?
06:55It's Lydia and I, eh?
06:58I was waiting for you two to get back.
07:19I'm sorry.

09:40I'm sorry.
09:41I'm sorry.
09:42I'm sorry.
09:43I'm sorry.
09:44Who is it you're trying to call?
09:46Debs.
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, you might really need to go.
10:00Okay.
10:03Just pick up, please.
10:07Yeah, I'm gonna ask her for a loan.
10:09I know she'd happily let me starve on the streets,
10:12but she won't let you and the kids go without.
10:15Yeah.
10:17I'm gonna have to go, Dawn.
10:18I'll call you back in.
10:23I, er...
10:25I need to ask you something.
10:29I've had Lydia on the phone.
10:31Oh, yeah?
10:35Zak's gone.
10:36What?
10:38Passed away this morning.
10:40Oh, hey.
10:42Bless you. Come here.
10:56Hey, you okay?
11:00What's happened?
11:02Hey.
11:03Come on, you can tell me.
11:07Uncle Zak.
11:10What about him?
11:15Oh.
11:22Oh.
11:26I'm so, so sorry.
11:32Come on, let me walk you back to the pub.
11:35No, I can't deal with that.
11:37Not yet.
11:38Not yet, anyway. I should be with you,
11:40but I couldn't deal with that either.
11:42OK, let'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. You're overruled.
11:57Come on.
11:59Oh.
12:08Yeah, we're fine. We'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.
12:32I 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.
12:53I kept on saying I'd get up and then I didn't.
12:57I 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?
13:08She's not here.
13:09So where is she?
13:11I don't know.
13:12I don't know how I'm gonna tell Aaron.
13:14Was he not up at wishing well with you?
13:16No, 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, Zak 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 hardly ever see 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 have 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 and that was that.
14:45Like a dad to me.
14:49Oh.
14:51Looks like someone's wondering where you are.
14:57What did you do that for?
15:00I'm not leaving you on your own.
15:02I'm fine.
15:03No, you're not.
15:04Ella's waiting for you.
15:06So?
15:07I want to be with you.
15:10Right, Liam.
15:12I think you should go.
15:19Go.
15:26You sure you're going to be okay?
15:28Yeah.
15:35I'm sorry.
15:39Liam.
15:45Thanks for the chat.
15:47I really appreciate it.
16:03You okay?
16:06Not really, no.
16:08I want my dad.
16:11I want him.
16:14We all do.
16:17It's going to be okay.
16:20I promise you.
16:22And we remember.
16:24And me.
16:29What happens now?
16:33I'm going to go back to Aberdeen later.
16:37I'm going to bring him home.
16:40At least he's with mum now.
16:43Unlike Lisa.
16:46He died peacefully.
16:48I so took him for granted.
16:51I really felt like he was going to be here forever.
16:56We all did.
16:59Thanks, lads.
17:01You seen Cain?
17:03He's out with Sam, looking for Belle.
17:05Oh, dear.
17:06No, it's fine.
17:07I stuck my head out the door.
17:09They're just over in one of the fields.
17:11It's probably what they need.
17:13Exactly.
17:14They're certainly going to need each other now.
17:21Hey, just in time for a drink, eh?
17:23Not for me, Tar.
17:24I'm driving up to Aberdeen in a bit.
17:26Belle, come on, sit down.
17:29How was the snaring?
17:33Seems like ages ago now.
17:36Well, a lot's happened since then.
17:40When was the last time I took our Belle out snaring?
17:43I don't know, let me have a think.
17:44The answer's never.
17:46But earlier I got this really strong feeling that I had to.
17:50Why was that, then?
17:52I think my dad wanted me to.
17:54Right.
17:56And I know it sounds daft,
17:58but we were there with us today.
18:00I know it.
18:02Well, stranger things have happened.
18:07I'm going to have to ring the prison in a bit.
18:11Ask them if they'll let Samson know his grandad's died.
18:14What, and have someone who's not family tell him?
18:17I've got no choice, have I?
18:20He needs to know, today.
18:23I suppose.
18:28Zak knew exactly what was important in life.
18:32Family.
18:35For him, they came first and they came last.
18:39He put family above everything.
18:43Well, you can't go wrong with that philosophy.
18:46We could all learn a lesson from that.
18:49Agreed.
18:52He was never considered a bright man,
18:55when in fact,
18:58he was one of the brightest men I knew.
19:05He sure as hell knew how to get what he wanted,
19:08be it legal or illegal.
19:12I admired him for that.
19:18What was it you wanted to ask me?
19:21Oh, it, er... It don't matter.
19:23It was something to note.
19:25Sure?
19:27Absolutely. Come here.
19:36You all right? Yeah.
19:38You'd better hurry.
19:43This is a sad day.
19:48Are you going to be OK?
19:50Yeah.
19:52Are you sure you want to do this?
19:55More than anything I've ever done.
20:05Thank you. They're beautiful.
20:08We're so sorry.
20:10My sincere condolences.
20:29Safe journey, mate.
20:32She'll be getting off.
20:34Love you.
20:36Drive carefully.
20:43Bring him home safely.
