00:00Oh, charming. What, I need a reason to talk to my husband, now, do I? Yeah, erm, does
00:15he really want one of these?
00:16No, she's already gone, Mum.
00:17Yeah. Oh, Cain's on the phone. Do you want to say hi?
00:20Hiya, Cain. Mum, I said I'd do that.
00:22Yeah, he doesn't even want his mum to make him a bacon butty. Are you driving?
00:26No, the kids are away at school. Oh, OK. Well, look, make sure you give Debbie and
00:36Zak my love, yeah? All right, Dad, I love you. Bye.
00:41Everything all right, Mum?
00:43Yeah, just get some bread battered.
00:46All right. Isaac was nattering on about the tablet again earlier. I said we'd have another
00:51look for it later.
00:52Mum?
00:54Mum?
00:55Mum?
01:01Ow! Are you all right?
01:02It's OK, it's OK. Let's get you down now. Let's get you sat down. You OK?
01:05Yeah, yeah.
01:06Just get you some water.
01:08We could go down to the stream, and then it'd be a natural.
01:14Yeah, we could. Or you could go back inside and get the work shoes that your teacher sent
01:19you. Look, Lucas is doing this.
01:22So?
01:24Remy, will you please come inside and do your work?
01:27Will you stop leaving this door open?
01:30Do you know how much it costs to heat this house?
01:32Sorry.
01:36Why is everything so difficult?
01:39I'll talk to her later, OK?
01:42Hey.
01:45Bad time?
01:46I mean, I've got a land stew here looking for a home.
01:49Well, you didn't need to do that.
01:51I know how tough it can be with a little one.
01:53And that's when...
01:55I don't know how you're coping.
01:57You think we're coping?
01:59Thanks.
02:00That's a real help.
02:02Come in.
02:04Do you want any painkillers, Mum?
02:05Look, it's fine. I barely touched it.
02:10For God's sake, just see it.
02:11You were right and I was wrong.
02:13I can't be trusted.
02:14Mum, don't be like that.
02:16Why? It's the truth.
02:19Look, you can finish off your own breakfast.
02:21I'm going to go for a lie down.
02:23I assume you think I'm capable of doing that.
02:26PHONE RINGS
02:32What?
02:35Er, yeah, sorry, yeah, that's me.
02:43Right.
02:49Er...
02:51I said I was going to treat you.
02:53Well, I arrived first, so it's on me.
02:58OK.
03:02I thought you said it were getting better.
03:04It's going to take a while.
03:07But it helps, knowing that I've got you by my side.
03:11You know, you are pretty amazing, putting up with all my baggage.
03:15And the accusations.
03:16False accusations, Tom.
03:18I mean, why can't people just mind their own business?
03:20You're friendly.
03:22But, you know, let's forget about that. Let's just focus on us.
03:25I feel like we need a bit of a reset.
03:28So...
03:29a start over.
03:31With me taking you out on a proper date.
03:34Pick you up at lunchtime, say...
03:3612?
03:37Yeah, OK, great.
03:39I think it's somewhere special.
03:41And then we can go for a lie down.
03:43I think it's somewhere special.
03:45And then we can go pick up Esther,
03:47and spend the afternoon together.
03:51You don't actually have to sit here waiting on me.
03:54Well, someone needs to be here. We agreed, remember?
04:01That was the hospital that called earlier.
04:03There's been a cancellation for the op.
04:05Oh, what? On 114?
04:07Tomorrow.
04:09They want me to do a pre-op first thing,
04:12and I'm pretty much straight away, assuming I pass.
04:15Wow, that's brilliant, Mum.
04:17I mean, it's scary, too, obviously, but it's great news.
04:21Aye.
04:22For you and Mackenzie, maybe. No more babysitting.
04:24No, for you.
04:26And it's got to be better than waiting months,
04:29and your surgeon, she knows what she's doing.
04:31Aye.
04:32And she knows all the risks.
04:34And made sure I knew them too.
04:36Well, she still thinks you should have it done, though.
04:39Perhaps she doesn't like me as much as I thought.
04:44I'm scared, Matty.
04:46I know.
04:49Have you, er... Have you spoken to Cain?
04:52No, there's no point.
04:55They just say, go ahead, the sooner the better.
04:59He doesn't want to accept that there could be problems, not really.
05:02Mum, he... he loves you.
05:05He just wants what's best for you, like... like me.
05:09What's with the sudden doubts?
05:11I suppose it was easier when it was months away.
05:15It's like when you arrange a night out, but when it comes to it,
05:18you'd rather stop in instead of the sofa.
05:22This isn't a joke, Mum.
05:27Yeah.
05:28Come walk with me.
05:30No, please.
05:32It'll help me explain.
05:34Come on.
05:38It's all right for you, but you're not next to the bathroom
05:40listening to it drip all night.
05:42And it won't get any better for being ignored.
05:44No, no, I imagine not.
05:46Now, in fact, in my experience, once one washer goes...
05:49Yeah, I hear you, Bear. I will call a plumber.
05:51A plumber for a few washers?
05:53Well, obviously, unless you want to step in.
05:55Oh, no, no, no. Slippery slope.
05:57Never get involved with other people's waterworks.
06:00Yes, such wise words.
06:02Now, what you need is an adjustable spanner,
06:04a screwdriver or maybe an Allen key.
06:06I could just call Sam.
06:08I'm sure he wouldn't mind messing with my waterworks.
06:11Might take his mind off Sampson, too.
06:13Aye, right enough.
06:15Toot sweet, though, Liam.
06:17Toot sweet.
06:19Hey, Billy.
06:20Hey.
06:21Hi.
06:22How's he getting on?
06:23Yeah, yeah, he's good, thanks.
06:25Oh, better than Dad?
06:27It's just a work thing.
06:29Box size.
06:30I'm glad I'm a doctor.
06:35Hey.
06:37I was actually going to come and see you.
06:39You were right about the car.
06:41How bad?
06:42Vinnie gave me 200.
06:44Mostly out of pity, I reckon.
06:45Yeah, sorry.
06:47I'll keep my eyes peeled.
06:49And I know that the budget's not great,
06:51but as soon as everything's healed up for you,
06:53we'll get you some work up at the farm.
06:54It's not going to be enough.
06:55Yeah, but it's a start.
06:57It's a heck of a lot better than doing something really, really stupid.
07:01Oh, terrific.
07:03Look, I have to.
07:04No, you really don't.
07:05Because whatever they're paying you, it's not worth it.
07:07It's for me.
07:08Not the money.
07:09What?
07:10Just forget about it.
07:11It's nothing.
07:12I've got to get Evan home.
07:14Is it ever so peaceful here?
07:16Yeah, it's beautiful.
07:19I just wish it didn't exist.
07:24She was so full of life, wasn't she?
07:26I mean, we should be jetting off to Rome or New York
07:29to see her latest exhibition.
07:30Yeah.
07:32I don't know.
07:34I don't know.
07:35I don't know.
07:36I don't know.
07:37I don't know.
07:38I don't know.
07:39I don't know.
07:40I don't know.
07:41I don't know.
07:42I don't know what kind of eyes are causing havoc at all the award ceremonies.
07:45Yeah.
07:47She was so happy.
07:50She'd gone through all the pain and horror
07:52and she had this whole world of opportunity right in front of her.
07:57Then it was over.
07:59Gone, just like that.
08:02That's how fragile life is.
08:05This is different, Mum.
08:07It's not, though.
08:09But this operation,
08:11everything can change in a heartbeat and I can't let my kids be without their mum
08:16I'd let Holly down and I don't want to let the rest of you down either
08:20I know what it's like losing your mum even if she was useless
08:25we've all been through enough
08:27You're not gonna die, Ma
08:29I ain't
08:30and you didn't even let Holly down
08:32not even close
08:34you weren't there, son
08:36I know how much she loved you
08:39how much she'd be rooting for you
08:41it's not that simple
08:43it is though
08:45if Holly was here now, Mum
08:47she'd want you to do everything you can to get better
08:51you've never stopped on the sofa when a big night out's on offer
08:53so don't start now
08:57we should be getting back
08:59just a few more minutes
09:01just a few more minutes
09:19you know I'm a terrible patient, right?
09:21non-stop moaning
09:23and full of self-pity for weeks
09:25well if that's a yes
09:27you can moan as much as you want, Mum
09:31you don't have to knock
09:33that would be a place for you here
09:35well if I've got out to do it
09:37although Kim is trying to
09:39I'm not interested in whatever you and Kim are rowing about
09:41is she in?
09:43no
09:45how's the kids?
09:47I'm not here for a catch-up
09:49can you just tell her that I came round
09:51you don't actually want to spend time with her, do you?
09:53you do know what she did to me
09:55this is not some petty falling out
09:57it is, compared to what Evan's going through
10:00I meant his illness, nothing new
10:02oh good, so long as he's no worse
10:04can you ask her to phone me?
10:06oh fine, I'll do it myself
10:08what is it that you need?
10:10maybe I can help
10:12you're my daughter
10:14I will always do whatever I can for you and the kids
10:18at least let me help them
10:22things are a bit tight
10:24it's just we've got to keep the house warm
10:26for Evan
10:28it's just having a knock-on effect on stuff
10:30why didn't you say?
10:32why do you think?
10:34I can't keep pretending it's going to be okay
10:36not with Marlon dropping off casseroles
10:38I won't be complaining about that
10:40I should get him to drop one off you
10:42sorry
10:44look, I'll get you the cash
10:46what do you need, a couple of grand?
10:48five?
10:50I'll pay you back
10:52it's for a car
10:54I'll sort it
10:57I promise
10:59thank you
11:07right, we'll have a brew
11:09and then we'll check that you've got everything
11:11what time do we need to be at the hospital tomorrow?
11:13not till the morning, 7am
11:15right, fine, I'll see if Amy can take the day off
11:17unless she wanted Kyle and Isaac to come with us
11:19what? no
11:21I don't even want them to know about it yet
11:23mum, you can't keep it quiet
11:25a few days
11:27can you just slow down?
11:33look, I'm sorry mum
11:35but you just
11:37you do need to talk to them
11:39after
11:41they'll only fuss and worry
11:43and you're doing enough of that for the three of you
11:45besides, if I tell them
11:47Kyle will be straight on to Cain
11:49you're not serious
11:51I'm not telling them over the phone
11:54and he'd probably put himself in a ditch while he's at it
11:56mum
11:58it's not up for discussion, Matty
12:00right, and what about Mackenzie?
12:02or is that a stupid question?
12:04no one needs to know until it's done
12:06look, you can drop me at the hospital
12:08and be back here in time to do the breakfast
12:10and the PE kits and whatever else is needed
12:12mum, I'm not just dumping you and running
12:14well, I won't be going at all if you keep being difficult
12:16right, OK, fine
12:18well, I'm telling Amy because unlike you and Cain
12:20we don't do secrets
12:22what secrets are these then?
12:24hey
12:26how you doing?
12:40right, well
12:42it's a good job you called, the robot perished
12:44I'll, er
12:46sort the kitchen one out and we'll be done
12:48I thought it was just the
12:51the bathroom was the problem
12:53yeah, Peter's right though, once one goes
12:55don't tell him that
12:57you know
12:59I meant what I said yesterday
13:01about you being a good dad
13:03right
13:05and I'm sure
13:07Samson will soon get into the swing of things
13:09and start opening up to you
13:11no offence, Doc, but
13:13do you know about being inside?
13:15no
13:17well, I wish I didn't either
13:19and I could fool myself into thinking everything's gonna be alright
13:21perhaps it will
13:25but you're right, it's not exactly my
13:27specialist subject
13:29do you fancy a cuppa?
13:31I actually remembered to fill up the kettle before we started
13:33no, I'm alright
13:37it feels like
13:39he's building these walls
13:41shutting me out
13:43or maybe just
13:45learning to cope
13:47and I don't
13:49blame him
13:51who'd want this as a dad?
13:53Sam, I'm sorry
13:55I've left my wrench upstairs
13:57come on then, what have I missed?
13:59well, it's here now, Mum
14:01what's the problem?
14:03there isn't one, can you just leave me to do
14:05things please, Matty, I just want a bit
14:07of normality
14:09why, come on, you're getting me worried
14:11look, Mum's, er, got
14:14she's got a burn
14:16on her arm
14:18yeah, I just, I had another absence seizure
14:20yeah, while she was cooking
14:22yeah, but I'm fine, look, it's nothing
14:24anyway, how come you're here?
14:26when I spoke to you earlier
14:28you were in Aberdeen, so
14:30well, I was on my way down, I wanted to surprise you
14:32as if I'm not confused enough
14:34oh, sorry
14:36wasn't thinking
14:38anyway, Dad's doing a lot better
14:40hopefully the larks this morning
14:42driving our Debs nuts
14:44practically bullied me into coming home
14:46oh, and you listened
14:48that's good
14:52can you go and check on the cars?
14:54the cars?
14:56cows, you know what I mean, just
14:58can you just give us a bit of space?
15:06stop arguing with me, I'm buying you a drink
15:08two pints, please, beer
15:10I'll get these
15:12oh, thanks
15:14how's them grandkids of mine?
15:16this is a bad idea, I'm going home
15:18no, no, it's alright, I'm done now, anyway
15:20you stay, you deserve a break
15:22been in the scrap
15:24accident at work
15:26go on, I'll bring your pints over
15:28thanks
15:32you can go into Leeds if you like
15:34I just feel like it's way more special here
15:36and what's the point in showing you off in a place full of strangers?
15:38look, Tom, I'm not a prize pony
15:40anyway, we're in here all the time
15:42you're right, I'm sorry
15:44I just wanted to do something nice with you
15:46but I got up thinking
15:48that the more time we spend in here
15:50the more normal it'll be for everyone
15:52and that way people will be used to the fact
15:54that we're a couple
15:56whether they like it or not
15:58there you go, lad
16:00thank you
16:04so when is it, the big fight?
16:06you're not going to try and talk me out of it, then?
16:08I would if I thought you'd listen
16:12but if you want me to keep my mouth shut around dawn
16:14then I need to know what's going on
16:16I'm serious, Billy
16:18like, you're not in the right headspace
16:20and it could get way worse
16:22so what if it does?
16:24look, at least I'm actually doing something
16:26what does that mean?
16:28I feel useless
16:30I just want to be a good dad, like the best I can be
16:32but with Evan being so ill
16:34I can't help my boy
16:36so you're punishing yourself
16:38that's not what it is
16:40it's a way for me to escape reality, I guess
16:42it's the only thing I have control over
16:44surely that would depend
16:46on who you were fighting
16:48no, it doesn't matter
16:50because I'm the one who's stepping up
16:52getting in the ring
16:54and when I'm in there
16:56there's nothing else I can think about
16:58this is helping me deal
17:00with the worst thing that's ever happened to me
17:02so I'm begging you, please
17:04just keep this to yourself
17:16you found it
17:18sorry, the boxes
17:20shouldn't have been looking
17:22it's only a toolbox
17:24none of this
17:26is your fault
17:28Samson's just going to have to find the best way he can
17:30as long as you know he's a good lad
17:32and that's down to you
17:34I don't know about that
17:36well, I do
17:38right then, kitchen tap
17:40yeah
17:44and forget the tea
17:46I'm buying you a pint as soon as we're finished
17:48thanks Doc, but I'm going to take our bell snaring
17:50snaring?
17:52yeah, I was thinking about it upstairs
17:54she's never been before, as far as I'm aware
17:56and since I can't do out for Samson
17:58at least I can help her
18:00take her mind off everything
18:02I still owe you a pint though, I could see you down the pub later
18:04after you're done
18:06snaring
18:08you're on
18:14you know, Kyle and Isaac
18:16are going to be so excited to see you
18:18I've really missed you
18:20I haven't been gone that long, I've spoken to them plenty
18:22so what's going on between you and Matty?
18:24nothing
18:26we're getting on each other's nerves
18:28I mean, it's not his fault
18:30I don't like someone
18:32hovering over me all the time
18:34well, you've got no choice
18:36not until you have the operation
18:38yeah
18:40about that
18:42don't say you've changed your mind again
18:44no, it's just a bit overwhelming
18:46you know, thinking about it
18:48then don't, not if he's stressing you out
18:50let's cross bridges when we get to him
18:53you'll be OK on your own while I go and have a shower
18:55yeah
19:09hey Debbie
19:11yeah, your dad got back home safely but it's just
19:13Debbie?
19:15what is it, what's wrong?
19:22he's napping again
19:24how was he on his walk?
19:26slept through that too
19:28but Jenny did say that he'd be tired
19:30so let's try not to worry
19:34I know I've been horrible to live with recently
19:36yeah, well we've both been shattered
19:38oh right, so you're not denying it then
19:40I don't have
19:42I've not been myself either
19:44well we should be pulling together
19:46not sniping at each other
19:48not sleeping in separate rooms
19:52sorry, doors open
19:54didn't want to disturb sleeping babies
19:56or parents
19:58I wish
20:08stop looking so worried
20:10I've thought it all through
20:12and?
20:14and I get it, not the fighting part
20:16but the feeling powerless bit
20:18it's exactly how I felt
20:20when Ruben was sick
20:22I mean it's not exactly the same, obviously
20:24so you're not going to say anything?
20:26no
20:28thanks
20:30but I'm not letting you do this on your own
20:32especially not after last time
20:34you need someone looking out for you
20:36and for keeping you in shape
20:38you'll be spitting nails, kid
20:40you'll be eating lightning
20:42what?
20:44you've never seen Rocky?
20:46wow
20:49oh
