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