00:00It's Nicky's birthday today and I still can't get a hold of him. It's the first year I haven't
00:18seen him on his birthday. I'm sure Sonny's got it covered. I hate this. Try not to let
00:26it get to you. He'll get in touch eventually. Want a coffee? I thought you'd gone to work.
00:34Not yet. I was making you breakfast in bed. Really? Thought you'd like it. I do. I love
00:43it. Come here. Come back to bed. I want a repeat performance for last night. What? Dinner
00:54with Mandy and Bear. That wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Yeah. I'm impressed
01:00you made such an effort. You even seemed to get on with Mandy. She's actually all right.
01:05For a dingle. Right, look. I've got to go. Where are you off to? Maybe I'll come with
01:13you. No, it's just boring work stuff. I told you about that investor dragging their heels.
01:19Once their deposit lands, everything will be on track. I just need to sort a few final
01:23things. Oh, no, wait an hour. Yes, I suppose. Oh, don't sound so enthusiastic. Thank you
01:37very much. Have a nice day. Bye. Why have you opened that? A courier just dropped it
01:59off. I thought it might be for me. Well, it is, but you've ruined the surprise now. Well,
02:04you bought me a watch. Yeah, well, you had your other one stolen. I know how much you
02:09loved it. You didn't have to do that. Do you like it? Well, I love it. It's great. Put
02:16it on then. I can't believe it, you know. You're the most amazing woman I've ever met.
02:25Whenever you look at it, I want you to think of me. Know how close you came to losing me.
02:30I know how lucky I am to be given another chance. I don't deserve it. Well, you do.
02:36And so much more. She's acting really cagey, but I'm pretty sure Amelia's still seeing
02:56Tom. I hope not. I'm really worried about her. It's lunchtime. Why didn't you make me?
03:02Yeah, you needed to rest, Mum. I'm fine. You must be parched. I'll stick the kettle on
03:06for you. No, I can make it. It's fine. I'll make your sandwiches. I'm not a child. You
03:11know, I can make more on lunch. Yes, we know, Mum, but what if you have another seizure?
03:18Look, I don't have a problem with you being here, and I know that I need to have people
03:22around me, but I can still function. I'm not completely useless. Nobody's saying you
03:27are. We just don't want you to get hurt, Mum, that's all. Yeah, but I have got this thing
03:32and it isn't going away. I have to learn how to live with it, and you can't watch me every
03:36hour of the day. It's just until you have your surgery. Yeah, well, I'm not talking
03:39about that, Matty. Mum, if it makes you better... Look, I said just back off, OK? I'm not hungry.
03:45I wish I could take you out tonight. Have a proper celebration. Aw, I'm just happy to
03:51be in you and the kids at home. Yeah, well, when this is all over and Evan's better, we
03:55need a holiday. Yeah, I can't afford one. Well, we'll find a way. Go down to Cornwall,
04:00get a camper van, and I'll show the kids how to surf. You can surf? Yeah, brilliant, how
04:05about it? How did you not know this? Because we've not been anywhere where I can show off
04:09my skills. That's gonna change. We need a break. Well, it sounds like heaven. You all
04:16right? Great. Never better. Does it even wish you a happy birthday? It doesn't matter.
04:23Yeah, it does. Well, it just shows we're better off without him. Well, I'm expecting a large
04:29sum coming in, so just message me when it lands, will you? Cheers. Hey, mate. Mate?
04:34Have you got a minute? Not really. You wanted to buy Jimmy's shares of the Hortlidge firm,
04:38didn't you? Yeah. So? So? So there's two partners. What? You want to sell your half
04:46of the Hortlidge to me? Yeah. I'll be honest, I'm in urgent need of cashing. I thought that
04:52you might be able to help me out. Why haven't you asked him? I don't want to worry her.
04:57In other words, you're desperate and she can't find out. That's interesting. No, no, no.
05:01Not like that. I need 40 grand by tomorrow. For what? Well, that's my business, isn't
05:09it? Well, I can't sort the paperwork to buy the Hortlidge for tomorrow. I was more hoping
05:13for a loan. Nah, you're all right, mate. Oh, come on, Caleb. I'm offering you a deal here.
05:19If you lend me that and I don't pay back in, let's say, three months, then I'll sign my
05:24shares to the Hortlidge firm over to you. Come on, it's a win-win for you. Well, you're
05:31in luck. Do some money in for me to invest there, so go on, then. Why not? Cheers. But
05:38I need it for first thing, though. That's fine. I'll get a contract drawn up so there's
05:42no backing out, though. There won't be. Cheers.
05:47Last time you had me babysitting, I tried to get Eva on this and she hated it. Yeah,
06:01she did. Until I threatened to give it to Esther and now all of a sudden it's her favourite
06:06thing. Took it out and within five minutes the chain broke, so she had a proper hissy
06:11fit, little madam. You OK? Yeah. You sure? Not had another row with Myra? No, no, we're
06:25cool. Cool? Listen, I know it's difficult. How are you coping? I've agreed to not talk
06:46about the tumour, which isn't easy. Every time I open my mouth I think when I say the
06:51wrong thing. You need to be patient with her, Cain. She's scared. So am I. Just waiting
06:59for a tumour to get bigger, it doesn't seem right. Well, it's only a couple of months,
07:03isn't it? And then they can assess her. To see if it gets worse, which it will. You don't
07:07know that. It's changed her. And that is the problem. I can't carry on like this. Don't
07:13get a choice, Cain. You need to support her. And that's what I'm doing. I'm biting my tongue.
07:20It's not easy.
07:27Hey, Arthur, I was gonna call you. Listen, come for dinner with me and Archie. We can
07:33get a takeaway. No thanks. I miss you. Archie misses you. Don't use him to try and get me
07:40on your side. I wasn't. Archie can come to ours any time. I'd better prefer that. Anything
07:46to get away from you. Don't be like that. I am trying my best day to put things right.
07:52Yeah, that doesn't change anything. I still care about you. And I still hate you.
08:02You'll come around eventually. What do you know about it?
08:06Excuse me. I got a call about Helen Fox. I was told this was her room.
08:16Are you Ruby?
08:17That's right.
08:18Your mum gave me your number. I'm Heather. I support you.
08:22Is she in there? Can I see her?
08:24I'm so sorry.
08:28Don't tell me. This is typical of her. Getting me here just to turn me away. To test me.
08:33Mind games. Well, I'm not playing. Only came here to watch her die.
08:38Please wait. She really was desperate to see you.
08:44And now she's not.
08:47I'm afraid it's too late. Your mum sadly passed away 20 minutes ago.
09:04Do you want me to stay?
09:07No.
09:09I'll just be outside if you need me.
09:17May I sit with you?
09:19I wasn't exactly friendly to you earlier.
09:22I'm sorry.
09:25I'm sorry.
09:27I'm sorry.
09:29I'm sorry.
09:31I'm sorry.
09:33You're upset.
09:35I get it.
09:37I really care about Arthur.
09:39And I'm sure he feels the same.
09:42He was just hurt and lashing out.
09:45I deserve it.
09:46Don't be so hard on yourself. We all make mistakes.
09:49Yeah, me more than most though, eh?
09:52You know, I don't know what's wrong with me.
09:55Well, I do.
09:56I mean, I feel sorry for myself.
09:59I miss Laurel.
10:01And I miss Dottie.
10:03And Arthur.
10:05And I miss us being a family.
10:07You know, I just...
10:09I hate that I've taken that away from Archie.
10:12At least he's still got him in his life.
10:15They're only across the road.
10:16It's not the same though, is it?
10:19I know it's all my fault.
10:21Yeah, we were really close.
10:23I genuinely see him as my son.
10:26Then you mustn't give up.
10:29Make sure he knows exactly how much he means to you.
10:33I don't want to keep hassling him.
10:36So you're gonna let him think that he's not important enough to fight for?
10:39That you're not bothered?
10:40I just don't know what to do for the best.
10:42Ethan and I didn't always see eye to eye.
10:47But he knew how much I loved him.
10:49Make sure Arthur knows that you're there if he ever needs you.
10:53We'll all rally round her.
10:55There's plenty of us Dingles here to support her.
10:59Do you think the stress made it worse?
11:01Like when I was in prison,
11:03she must have had this and we didn't even know.
11:05You can't blame yourself.
11:06I just hate seeing her like this, Chas.
11:08She's one of the strongest women I know.
11:10She's not even able to be at home on her own.
11:13And Gail's worried sick.
11:15He's been asking loads of questions on the way to school.
11:17I don't know what to say.
11:19I can't pretend it's not serious.
11:21It's not like we can tell him it's gonna get any better cos we don't know.
11:23I'm trying not to show her how scared I am.
11:25You sound like Cain.
11:27He's stressed about her.
11:28He'd better not put her under any more pressure.
11:30He won't.
11:31You know how much he loves her.
11:34This isn't the old Cain.
11:36He'll handle it.
11:39This isn't the old Cain.
11:41He'll handle it.
11:55Why did you want to see me?
11:58Why?
12:01To say sorry?
12:05Cos if you wanted to,
12:08you had plenty of time to do it.
12:13To come and find me.
12:18To beg my forgiveness.
12:24But no, instead you have to be a drama queen with all this
12:28deathbed stupidness.
12:31How could you do this to me?
12:35One more way to stick the knife in.
12:42Did you ever
12:45love me?
12:52Amy's having the boys round for tea so we can get some peace and quiet.
12:55Yeah, love.
12:57I'll make the most of it if I were you.
12:59They'll be wired when they get back.
13:06Anything I can get you?
13:08Tea?
13:09Blanket?
13:10Bottle of bread?
13:13Don't you need to go back to work?
13:15I've been off for the afternoon.
13:17Ah, you're keeping an eye on me.
13:19Well, you're pretty good to look at.
13:22I've got to go.
13:24Hey.
13:25Well, you're pretty good to look at.
13:28Hey, come and sit down.
13:34No.
13:37Silly.
13:41Ah, I can't remember the last time we did this.
13:46Do you want to talk about anything?
13:48No.
13:49You sure?
13:50Yep.
13:51Whoa.
13:53You actually do what I asked.
13:55Don't give me a hard time.
13:57I'm respecting my wife's wishes.
13:59Some people would be grateful.
14:05I am
14:07very
14:09grateful.
14:12Mm-hmm.
14:20Arthur.
14:22Look, Arthur, OK?
14:23I know you're annoyed with me, all right?
14:25But I am not giving up on you.
14:27I'm here whenever you need me.
14:33You been with the investor?
14:35How did it go?
14:36You going to tell me who it is now?
14:38There is no investor.
14:39What?
14:40Dale fell through.
14:42What have you done?
14:44You what?
14:45Do you need me to talk to him?
14:47See if I can get him back on board?
14:48Dale's dead, OK?
14:49There's nothing anyone can do about it.
14:51We can't afford to do this on our own.
14:54We need an investor.
14:56There's nobody around here that's got that kind of money.
14:59Except Kim.
15:00I'm not going to her.
15:01Right, well, then who?
15:03You need to find someone.
15:04We'll lose everything if you don't get this sorted.
15:06Do you know what?
15:07Right now, you're the least of my worries.
15:11Wow, you look great.
15:14Are you off out somewhere?
15:16Business meeting.
15:17Oh, that's a pity.
15:19I was hoping we could spend the evening together.
15:21I was going to cook, try and cheer you up after what's happened.
15:24Thought I might have heard from the police by now.
15:27The lack of news on Tallyway's made me lose my appetite.
15:31That's understandable.
15:33I just wanted to show you how I've been doing.
15:36That's understandable.
15:38I just wanted to show you how I feel.
15:41Because us, this marriage, it's really important to me.
15:46I'd do anything to protect it.
15:48To get us back on track.
15:51That's a nice idea.
15:53But it'll have to wait.
15:54Are you going to check that?
15:56No, no, no.
15:57It'll be nothing important.
15:59Right, well, I've got to go.
16:01OK, see you later.
16:07DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
16:26Hey.
16:27Where have you been?
16:29Hospital.
16:32Are you OK?
16:38My mum's dead.
16:42What?
16:43Are you kidding?
16:47I thought you weren't in touch.
16:49Did your dad call you?
16:51No, he wasn't there, thank God.
16:53I don't know where he was. I didn't want to know.
16:55So how did you find out?
16:57The hospital called me.
16:59I should have just ignored her, but I felt like I ought to go.
17:03It must have been weird coming face-to-face with her after all this time.
17:09What did she say?
17:12I was too late.
17:16I didn't know she was dying.
17:20If I'd known that, I'd have got there 20 minutes earlier.
17:24As it is, I have no idea what she wanted to say to me,
17:27and I never will.
17:34I can feel your eyes boring into me.
17:38I just wondered when I got so lucky.
17:40If I'd known this would happen every time I kept quiet,
17:42I'd never speak.
17:44If only.
17:48Well, thank you for being so supportive.
17:53Thank you for being so supportive.
17:58I will be. Always.
18:01And once you've decided to have the operation,
18:03I'll be right there. You know I will.
18:11I'm not having it.
18:13Well, no.
18:15Not yet, no.
18:17Wow.
18:19I can't believe I've been so stupid.
18:21You haven't listened to a word I've said, have you?
18:23You've just been playing along.
18:25I'm just giving you some space so you can make your mind up.
18:27Well, I thought you were giving me the choice.
18:30Well, it's got to be done.
18:31No. I'm not getting the surgery.
18:33Come on, Maura. Be reasonable. Think about the family.
18:35You told me in the hospital that you were going to support me,
18:38but you never meant it, did you?
18:40You don't care about me. You don't care about what is right for me.
18:43No, I do. I just want you to get better for you.
18:46Well, I might not get better.
18:48And I might die in the surgery.
18:50But you'd rather that than have me as I am now, right?
18:52No, no, no. You've got it wrong. You're twisting things.
18:54See, this is the new Maura that likes to argue for argument's sake.
18:57I needed you to have my corner,
18:59but, no, you're just thinking about yourself like you always do.
19:04I can't even look at you right now.
19:08I'm trying to get my head around
19:11why she would do this to me.
19:16Why wait till now?
19:19She could have called me any time.
19:21I've been waiting.
19:23Have you?
19:26I...
19:28I just wanted to hear her say sorry.
19:30Now I never will.
19:36What can I do?
19:41Hold me.
19:43Here.
19:49You know that I love you.
19:51Don't you?
19:53Of course I do.
19:55My mum never loved me.
19:57Not like normal mums.
20:01I never heard her say it, except to other people.
20:04She'd tell them she loved me and never me.
20:09I only ever heard that from my dad.
20:13Oh, I hate this.
20:15Oh, I hate this.
20:18I swore that I would never let her get to me again.
20:21Well, you can't help how you feel.
20:24I should feel nothing.
20:26She didn't feel anything for me.
20:28She cared more about the dog.
20:32You've done OK without her.
20:34In fact, better than OK.
20:36Hey.
20:38You're an amazing woman.
20:40And you're an amazing mum.
20:43My mother turned her back on me.
20:45And I'm no better than her.
20:47That is not true.
20:51I had one last chance to talk to her,
20:54and now it's gone.
20:57It's going to drive me mad my whole life.
21:00I'll never know what she wanted to say to me.
21:03I need a drink.
