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