00:27Morning, beautiful boy.
00:32Morning.
00:37How are you feeling?
00:39Worried about today?
00:43Well, it's not me that needs to be worried, is it?
00:47There's no point in taking it off in bets when you can drag it all up there in the tractor.
00:51And when we don't get it all put up today, what then?
00:53Leave it till tomorrow.
00:54Oh yeah, and what happens when things get left out on farms?
00:56I go to sleep soundly, and you guys all thank me for helping out. For free.
01:00Big help so far. How much fencing have you put up in your life?
01:03Well, just one second while I check my fence diary, which I keep a meticulous record of.
01:07You don't know what you're talking about, do you?
01:09Very rarely in my experience.
01:11I've ten times more experience than you.
01:13Yeah, but it's my sister's farm.
01:15And it's my ball, and you two can't play unless I'm in the nets.
01:19Shut up!
01:20But Weston Paddock needs re-fencing.
01:22He wants to take all the rolls out at once. Can you tell him straight?
01:25We'll have to know what the Weston Paddock is, and then I'll have to give a toss.
01:28Yeah, pass us that, will you?
01:45Hey, I didn't know you were back.
01:48I am.
01:49How's the lad?
01:51Well, he's still got leukaemia.
01:56I got this.
02:10Well, I want to say I'm surprised, but...
02:15I want to say I'm surprised, but...
02:18Look, there's still me and you, Billy and Ellis, and their mother.
02:23Stay positive.
02:25How can I when my own parent chooses to reduce my son's chance of survival?
02:31I know it's terrible.
02:33It's absolutely disgusting.
02:36She should be ashamed of herself.
02:39She should?
02:42Weeks of lying to my face when I've been having the hardest time of my life.
02:49What are you going to do?
02:51See if you can keep this going?
02:52Like, if you sound convincing enough, I'm going to go,
02:55OK, thanks for clearing that up.
02:59Not happening.
03:02Because, Dad, I was driving to the hospital.
03:08And guess who I found?
03:22Hey, sorry, I saw you left a message, but I was driving.
03:26What are you doing here?
03:28Waiting for a bus.
03:30Well, there's a bus stop in the village.
03:35Mum.
03:41Dawn, I'm sorry to call you while you're at the hospital.
03:45But to be honest, I'm glad you didn't pick up because
03:48I was struggling to find the right words and...
03:52I want you to know I tried.
03:54I really did.
03:56And I love you and those kids, and I want what's best for you.
04:00But I was never cut out to be a mother.
04:03To put you first.
04:05So this has to be goodbye.
04:07You know how the rest of that goes, don't you?
04:14There must be something you can do. You're a mechanic.
04:16Of cars.
04:18I know how to fix cars. I don't know how to fix...
04:21things in the back of tractors that help put fence posts in.
04:24Wow.
04:25Wow what?
04:27You're a farmhand, but you don't know anything about keeping bees, do you?
04:30That's not the same comparison you give.
04:32Well, it's the one I'm making, you div.
04:34And the answer is make sure that the hive door is shut, by the way.
04:37It's a gag.
04:38Yeah, you need a gag.
04:39You make me gag.
04:40Well, will you stop quacking now?
04:42It's going to take us all day.
04:44Let's change the subject.
04:46What's the deal with Cain and Moira?
04:48Don't know. They've been off for weeks.
04:51You've not got in the marital bed again, have you?
04:53Shut up. That's your sister.
04:55It was my sister last time as well.
04:57Seems to be more coming from her, to be honest.
04:59Well, it seems to be coming from him this morning.
05:02She was due back yesterday. Apparently, she text Kyle, not my dad.
05:07You or two more?
05:08What's that?
05:10Post driver.
05:12Oh, God. How long is it going to take us to use one of them?
05:15Less time than if we just stand here staring.
05:17Right.
05:19You hold the post because that's the easy job.
05:22You drive him in because, well, look at you.
05:26And I'll follow you tacking the fence on, yeah?
05:30Sorry, you're now in charge because...
05:32Because no one else was solving the problem and I want to get paid.
05:35And I can't see that happening if we don't do any work.
05:38Not it.
05:39Never.
05:42Whoa, Wendy.
05:44What happened?
05:46How are you?
05:47Shocked that you know my name.
05:50I'm starting to think maybe you should change it to Tyson.
05:53Seriously, are you okay?
05:56I should be a lot better when you leave her alone.
05:58I know.
06:00I know.
06:02I know.
06:04I know.
06:05I should be a lot better when you leave her alone.
06:07Go on.
06:12I really think maybe we should just...
06:14Wendy.
06:16I wanted to say thank you for dropping the charges.
06:20Job done, then.
06:22Chas, can I have a small pinot grigio, please?
06:25And I'm so sorry for the other day.
06:28I told Wendy what a lot of strain you've been under.
06:31That's no excuse.
06:33Glad you know it.
06:36Can I buy you that?
06:38What, you think that's gonna make up for this?
06:41For scaring me witless?
06:42No.
06:44I don't think it'll come close,
06:45but if you can think of anything that will,
06:47please just say and I'll do it.
06:49How about get on a bus going one way?
06:52All buses go one way.
06:55Just saying.
06:59Two pints of zero, please.
07:00Who just missed out?
07:02Yeah.
07:03Story of my life.
07:06Listen,
07:08this whole
07:10wait-a-year business,
07:12yeah,
07:13I don't want to be skint for that long,
07:14so we need to speed things up.
07:17Well, I think we need to wait
07:18till a few less people around here hate you.
07:21People don't hate me.
07:23Not until your self-awareness returns.
07:25Right, you know what?
07:26I think I might have made a mistake here.
07:27Maybe I should just go home.
07:28I think I might have made a mistake here.
07:29Maybe I should just leave you to do this.
07:31You haven't made a mistake.
07:33A mistake will be missing out.
07:34On what?
07:35You haven't even sorted the land out yet.
07:39What are you two business powerhouses going on about?
07:43Oh, Jay's just saying that
07:44Love Story's Taylor Swift's best song
07:45and I said all too well,
07:46knocked spots off it.
07:48Hmm.
07:55Letting me think that my mum had run off
07:57when I've never needed my family more.
07:59When I'm beside myself with worry about losing my son.
08:02I was trying to protect you.
08:04Oh, rubbish.
08:05Dawn Swirling turned up with Rosa's bag
08:07and I thought that Kim had done something to her
08:10and she'd thought the same about me.
08:12Wow, what a wonderful marriage you've got.
08:14Obviously I knew I'd done nothing.
08:16Oh, obviously.
08:17Yeah, cos you're a saint.
08:19You've done nothing
08:20apart from straight away get on board with covering up
08:22what might have been the murder of my mother.
08:25Oh, and my favourite one.
08:27Deliberately putting Evan at even greater risk.
08:29Yeah, I can't defend that.
08:31Well, that's something then.
08:32Look, I was hoping...
08:34I still hope, obviously,
08:35that one of us others will be a match.
08:40Worth the gamble, I guess.
08:44And why would you think
08:45that Kim would do something to her?
08:49Why would she think that about you?
08:53You can save yourself another lie because I already know.
08:59There was another reason that I stayed.
09:02Besides wanting to be part of your life.
09:06Another reason, or the only reason?
09:10I owed money.
09:11Oh, of course you did.
09:12Well, go on.
09:14I broke my arm.
09:15The hospital called your dad.
09:18Then I met you again.
09:19Saw how well you were doing.
09:21And what, you wanted to see what you could get out of me?
09:23No, it wasn't like that.
09:25Then what?
09:26Bummed into Ruby one night.
09:29After Kim had threatened me.
09:31And Ruby hates Kim.
09:33She said to see what trouble I could cause.
09:35In my home?
09:37Where I live with my children?
09:39In my home.
09:41Where I live with my children who have been through so much.
09:44Hurting them is never part of it.
09:47Just me?
09:48No, Dawn.
09:51It was meant to be and it became something else.
09:53I fell in love with you all.
09:55You're a liar.
09:56I'm not.
09:57I'm telling you the truth.
09:59Then why are you going?
10:10Because you got what you came for.
10:19Go on, walk off.
10:20But we're not done yet.
10:21Not even close.
10:40Yeah, she's due back first thing tomorrow
10:42and yours will be the first name she hears when she's back.
10:44Lovely to speak to you. Bye.
10:46Who was that?
10:48Warwick Pies.
10:49Yeah, a therapy customer.
10:50So he kept saying.
10:52I don't love being the receptionist, by the way.
10:55You've answered one call.
10:57Just call.
10:58Well, better get back to my other job as tea boy
11:01and take these to the Bicker Brothers before they grind to another hole.
11:06Oh, hi, John.
11:07How's it going?
11:08Thanks.
11:09Warwick Pies, very big deal.
11:11There.
11:12That's that done.
11:15And hi to you too.
11:18No hug?
11:19Have you met me?
11:20Yeah, well, I like to be an optimist.
11:23I looked like a right idiot when you did one.
11:25Oh, no, why? What did you do?
11:28You left without a word of mine.
11:30I told Nate.
11:31Well, he's not your husband.
11:32Well, look, I saw a good opportunity and I took it.
11:35Oh, wait.
11:36I've got you a wee prezzie.
11:42Do not tell me that you haven't dreamed of owning one of these babies.
11:46Brought yourself a present too?
11:48No.
11:49That's your real one.
11:50You sure?
11:51Yes, I'm sure, Cain.
11:52What is this?
11:55Oh, you tell me.
11:57You act all weird, you disappear without a word
11:59and then you arrive back with a bag full of booze.
12:01A bag full of booze.
12:02It's one bottle and it's for you.
12:04So why are you not questioning the tea towels?
12:06Because people don't get hammered off tea towels.
12:13Me and Kim, we were trying to keep things from you.
12:16Oh, you did that?
12:17Hurtful things, I mean.
12:19What, like how awful you are?
12:21Rose was trying to come between us, all of us.
12:23All she cared about was ruining things.
12:26Well, if you're so clever and I am so stupid,
12:28why couldn't you clue me in?
12:30Because we didn't know ourselves for ages.
12:32What gave it away?
12:33Just a combination of things.
12:35What things?
12:36Just loads.
12:37Well, it must have been loads,
12:38because wanting to kill her is a pretty big reaction.
12:41I swear, Dawn, and I know you've got no reason to believe me,
12:44but I did not hurt your mother.
12:46But you weren't bothered if Kim did, were you?
12:50You were very happy to help make that go away.
12:55So do you know what happened to her?
13:04You've got this wrong.
13:06Oh, of course I have.
13:08Because there's no evidence.
13:10I've told a lot of lies,
13:12but I've never lied about my feelings for you.
13:15Ruby paid off my debts.
13:18I was meant to split them up, bring them down.
13:21I tried to snoop around.
13:23In your grandchildren's home?
13:25Ruby was getting impatient.
13:27She knew my heart wasn't in it.
13:29I shouldn't have let her in.
13:31I knew my heart wasn't in it.
13:33I should have told her to swivel.
13:35But you didn't.
13:36No.
13:38I threw myself at your dad.
13:40Twice.
13:42The first time he said no.
13:44I tried again when Kim moved out on me.
13:46Oh, my God.
13:49It looked like Kim wasn't going to find out,
13:51so I dropped a big hint.
13:52And what Ruby was like?
13:54Oh, good work, here's your bonus,
13:56and now you're running out of my life all over again.
13:58No.
14:00What do you mean, no?
14:02They made me pack.
14:03They threw me in the boot of the car and they drove me here
14:06before Kim could find out what we'd done.
14:08And they told me what would happen if I ever came back.
14:11And then your dad gave me that money to...
14:14He paid you to leave?
14:23It was me who spiked your drink.
14:25It was an accident. It was meant for him.
14:31I love you, Dawn.
14:34And I love your kids.
14:36I am a big fan of Billy's.
14:39But if you carry on living in that house,
14:42things are going to go bad.
14:44So, please, take it and go.
14:48I'm proud of you.
14:50And I'm so sorry.
14:52I'm so sorry.
14:58So, then, what, you just drove away?
15:01No, I'm not you. I took her to the airport.
15:05So she is OK?
15:09The fact you're asking that
15:11means you spent weeks thinking your wife might have killed her.
15:14And you've said nothing.
15:16So don't pretend to care, all right?
15:18So you found all that out,
15:21came home and said nothing?
15:24What, does that make me a bad daughter?
15:27No, actually.
15:29If you remember, which you won't,
15:31because you don't care about anyone but yourself.
15:33I went straight to hospital,
15:35and I came back in the morning.
15:37I bumped into swirling coming out of her.
15:40Did he say anything?
15:42Oh, hello.
15:44I don't suppose your mum's with you?
15:46No. Oh, God, what's she done now?
15:48Far from getting blotto and losing her handbag, you mean.
15:51You what?
15:52Your dad told me.
15:54It's all right, it's not illegal.
15:56Not exactly recommended either.
15:58Anyway, it's there for when she turns up.
16:01Right, thanks.
16:06Not the story you told me, is it?
16:09There was a drunken brawl outside the airport,
16:12and I caught her breaking into the safe.
16:14Who is she, Ronnie Biggs?
16:16You were covering for Kim, and she was covering for you,
16:19and I have left it all this time just to see what would happen,
16:23and what has happened is lie after lie.
16:26I was protecting you.
16:28You were protecting you.
16:32No, she... she cared about us.
16:34And the kids. She wanted us in her life.
16:39She wouldn't be so cruel.
16:41Don't waste another tear on that woman.
16:46I really believed her.
16:48You're better off without her.
16:50We all are.
17:05And that's when I realised you were both lying to me.
17:10And that there's nothing you won't do to save your own skin,
17:13including letting me think I mean nothing to my own mum,
17:16and risking your grandson's life.
17:19You're an embarrassment to me.
17:21And to yourself.
17:24And I'm done with you.
17:30You disappear on some trip,
17:32and then you ride back all chirpy like nothing's happened.
17:35I'm chirpy because I've just bought a really good bull.
17:38All right, so where is it, then, this bull?
17:40It's out in the car, kid.
17:42He's having a snooze in the passenger seat.
17:45He's tired because we shared the driving.
17:47Oh, come on, you know there's paperwork.
17:51All right, look at the business account if you want to.
17:54There's a bull's-size toll on it.
17:56Well, you could have spent that on anything.
17:58Ah, and the metric ton of farm animal that arrives tomorrow
18:01that I just coincidentally won in a raffle.
18:04OK, I might have got carried away, but I got excited.
18:09Don't you want a wife who gets excited?
18:11I want a dull one. Can you go back to being that?
18:14Oh, come on.
18:15Something is up.
18:16Not with me.
18:17Oh.
18:18Are you going to give me that hug or what?
18:20Ask the kids for one. Do you remember them?
18:27Fine.
18:37Hit you another?
18:38That might not be a good idea.
18:40Oh, well, you're already knee-deep into one bad one.
18:43In so much as?
18:44Chumming up with Jay.
18:46Chumming up?
18:47What am I, on a cruise for widowed pensioners?
18:50Hmm.
18:51What's he falling?
18:54Tetris.
18:55And?
18:56Your number.
18:57But I'm just about to delete it.
19:05Yeah?
19:06Oh, yeah, yeah.
19:07Well, that's great.
19:08OK.
19:09I'll call you back later.
19:11Bye.
19:13How's the estate agent?
19:15We're on.
19:16We've got the land.
19:17If we want it.
19:18No, of course we do.
19:19Where have you told him that?
19:20I said I'd speak to my partner first, if I've still got a partner.
19:24I just wanted to see some movement.
19:26Well, there it is.
19:27I'm applying permission on behalf of the estate agent.
19:31I just wanted to see some movement.
19:33Well, there it is.
19:34I'm applying permission up here at Bree's,
19:36because I'm a mate on the council, so...
19:38Am I telling him, yeah?
19:40Absolutely.
19:41Let's get it in writing.
19:49Still trying to figure out how much I owe.
19:51Everything.
19:53This is quick.
19:54Yeah, well, it couldn't be quick enough.
19:56I've spoken to Jay, and Holgate is free.
19:58I doubt whether it's free.
20:00Well, luckily, we've got this.
20:02You've got nothing, have you?
20:04No money of your own,
20:06no home of your own,
20:07and now, no family.
20:10Look, it doesn't have to be like this.
20:11It didn't have to be like this, but this is how you made it.
20:14I'm not the only one that's done you over, you know.
20:16Did you forget that your drink was spiked?
20:18No, I haven't forgotten, but did you forget it was meant for you,
20:20or was that another lie you were going to tell me?
20:22Look, you know where your mum is.
20:23Let me go and pick her up.
20:24Let me bring her back, and let's get her tested for the transplant.
20:29I meant to say,
20:31none of that's true.
20:35You've been stringing me along.
20:38I had to.
20:39Let me think that this is partly my fault.
20:41Exactly that, yes.
20:45Is the car outside?
20:47I'll bring it round.
20:54Dawn.
20:56Look,
20:58just tell me what I've got to do.
21:03Look,
21:05if you need anything,
21:07you know where we are.
21:10So make sure you stay away.
21:25I'm sorry.
