00:30Oh, charming. What, I need a reason to talk to my husband now, do I? Yeah, um, does Yvonne
00:40want one of these?
00:41No, she's already gone, Mum.
00:42Yeah. Oh, Cain's on the phone. Do you want to say hi?
00:45Hiya, Cain. Mum, I said I do.
00:46Yeah, he doesn't even want his mum to make him a bacon butty. Are you driving? No, kids
00:54haven't been to school, no. Oh, OK. Well, look, make sure you give Debbie and Zak my
01:01love, yeah? All right, Dad, I love you. Bye.
01:06Everything all right, Mum?
01:08Yeah, just get some bread battered.
01:11All right. Isaac was nattering on about the tablet again earlier. I said we'd have another
01:16look for it later.
01:17Mum? Mum?
01:18Mum?
01:19Mum?
01:20Mum?
01:21Mum?
01:22Mum?
01:23Mum?
01:24Ow!
01:25Are you all right?
01:26Yeah, it's OK. It's OK, sit down now. Let's get you something on. You're OK, all right?
01:30Yeah, yeah.
01:31Let's get you some water.
01:32We could go down to the stream and then it'd be a nature walk.
01:38Yeah, we could. Or you could go back inside and do the work she's teaching you. Look,
01:45Lucas is doing this.
01:47So?
01:48Flemmy, will you please come inside and do your work? Will you stop leaving this door
01:52open?
01:53Do you know how much it costs to heat this house?
01:56Sorry.
02:00Why is everything so difficult?
02:03I'll talk to her later, OK?
02:06Hey.
02:09Bad time?
02:10Well, I've got a land stew here looking for a home.
02:13Well, you didn't need to do that.
02:15I know how tough it can be with a little one.
02:17That's when...
02:19I don't know you're coping.
02:21You think we're coping?
02:23Thanks.
02:24That's a real help.
02:26Come in.
02:28Do you want any painkillers, Mum?
02:29Look, it's fine. I barely touched it.
02:34For God's sake, just see it.
02:35You were right and I was wrong.
02:37I can't be trusted.
02:38Mum, don't be like that.
02:40Why? It's the truth.
02:44Look, you can finish off your own breakfast.
02:46I'm going to go for a lie down.
02:48I assume you think I'm capable of doing that.
02:51PHONE RINGS
02:56What?
03:00Er, yeah, sorry, yeah, that's me.
03:08Right.
03:16Er...
03:18I said I was going to treat you.
03:19Well, I arrived first, so it's on me.
03:24OK.
03:28I thought you said it were getting better.
03:30It's going to take a while.
03:33But it helps, knowing that I've got you by my side.
03:37You know, you are pretty amazing,
03:39putting up with all my baggage.
03:42And the accusations.
03:43False accusations, Tom.
03:45Why can't people just mind their own business?
03:47Yeah, you're friendly.
03:49You know, let's forget about that, let's just focus on us.
03:52I feel like we need a bit of a reset.
03:55So...
03:56a start over.
03:58With me taking you out on a proper date.
04:01Pick you up at lunchtime, say...
04:0312?
04:04Yeah, OK, great.
04:06I'll take somewhere special.
04:08And then we can go pick up Esther
04:10and spend the afternoon together.
04:13You don't actually have to sit here waiting on me.
04:16Well, someone needs to be here, we agreed, remember?
04:23That was the hospital that called earlier.
04:25There's been a cancellation for the op.
04:27Oh, wow, and when for?
04:29Tomorrow.
04:32They want me to do a pre-op first thing,
04:34and I'm pretty much straight away, assuming I pass.
04:38Wow, that's brilliant, Mum.
04:40I mean, it's scary, too, obviously, but it's great news.
04:44Aye, for you and Mackenzie, maybe, no more babysitting.
04:48No, for you.
04:49And, look, it's got to be better than waiting months,
04:53and your surgeon, she knows what she's doing.
04:55Aye, and she knows all the risks.
04:58And made sure I knew them too.
05:00Well, she still thinks you should have it done, though.
05:03Perhaps she doesn't like me as much as I thought.
05:06I'm scared, Matty.
05:08I know.
05:11Have you, er, have you spoken to Cain?
05:14No, there's no point.
05:16They just say, go ahead, the sooner the better.
05:20He doesn't want to accept that there could be problems, not really.
05:24Mum, he, he loves you.
05:26He just wants what's best for you, like, like me.
05:30What's with the sudden doubts?
05:32I suppose it was easier when it was months away.
05:36It's like when you arrange a night out,
05:38but when it comes to it, you'd rather stop in instead of the sofa.
05:43This isn't a joke, Mum.
05:48Yeah.
05:49Come walk with me.
05:51No, please.
05:53It'll help me explain.
05:55Come on.
05:56It'll help me explain.
05:58Come on.
06:02It's all right for you,
06:03but you're not next to the bathroom listening to it drip all night.
06:06And it won't get any better for being ignored.
06:08No, no, I imagine not.
06:10Now, in fact, in my experience, once one washer goes...
06:13Yeah, I hear you, Bear. I will call a plumber.
06:15A plumber for a few washers?
06:17Well, obviously, unless you want to step in.
06:19Oh, no, no, no, slippery slope.
06:21Never get involved with other people's waterworks.
06:24You're such wise words.
06:26Now, what you need is an adjustable spanner,
06:28a screwdriver or maybe an Allen key.
06:30I could just call Sam.
06:32I'm sure he wouldn't mind messing with my waterworks.
06:35Might take his mind off Sampson, too.
06:37Aye, right enough.
06:39Toot sweet, though, Liam.
06:41Toot sweet.
06:43Hey, Billy.
06:44Hey.
06:45Hi.
06:46How's he getting on?
06:47Yeah, yeah, he's good, thanks.
06:49Oh.
06:50Better than Dad?
06:51It's just a work thing. Boxercise.
06:54I'm glad I'm a doctor.
06:59Hey.
07:00I was actually going to come and see you.
07:02You were right about the car.
07:04How bad?
07:05Vinnie gave me 200.
07:07Mostly out of pity, I reckon.
07:09Yeah, sorry.
07:10I'll keep my eyes peeled.
07:12And I know that the budget's not great,
07:14but as soon as everything's healed up for you,
07:16we'll get you some work up at the farm.
07:18It's not going to be enough.
07:19Yeah, but it's a start.
07:20And it's a heck of a lot better than doing something really, really stupid.
07:24Oh, terrific.
07:26Look, I have to.
07:27No, you really don't.
07:29Because whatever they're paying you, it's not worth it.
07:31It's for me.
07:32Not the money.
07:33What?
07:34Forget about it. It's nothing.
07:35I've got to get Evan home.
07:38Come on.
07:49It's always so peaceful here.
07:51Yeah, it's beautiful.
07:54I just wish it didn't exist.
07:59She was so full of life, wasn't she?
08:01I mean, we should be jetting off to Rome or New York
08:04to see her latest exhibition.
08:06Yeah.
08:07Caroline Isaac causing havoc at all the award ceremonies.
08:10Yeah.
08:12She was so happy.
08:15She'd gone through all the pain and horror
08:17and she had this whole world of opportunity right in front of her.
08:21Then it was over.
08:23Gone just like that.
08:26That's how fragile life is.
08:29This is different, Mum.
08:32It's not, though.
08:34With this operation, everything can change in a heartbeat.
08:38And I can't let my kids be without their mum.
08:41I'd let Holly down
08:42and I don't want to let the rest of you down either.
08:46I know what it's like losing your mum,
08:48even if she was useless.
08:50We've all been through enough.
08:52You're not going to die, Mum.
08:54I ain't.
08:55And you didn't even let Holly down.
08:57Not even close.
08:59You weren't there, son.
09:01I know how much she loved you.
09:04How much she'd be rooting for you.
09:06It's not that simple.
09:08It is, though.
09:10If Holly was here now, Mum,
09:11she'd want you to do everything you can to get better.
09:16You've never stopped on the sofa when a big night out's on offer,
09:18so don't start now.
09:23We should be getting back.
09:25Just a...
09:26Just a few more minutes.
09:32KISSES
09:44You know I'm a terrible patient, right?
09:46Non-stop moaning and full of self-pity for weeks.
09:50Well, if that's a yes,
09:52you can moan as much as you want, Mum.
09:58You don't have to knock.
10:00It's a place for you here.
10:01Well, if I've got hope to do it.
10:03Although Kim is trying to...
10:04I'm not interested in whatever you and Kim are rowing about.
10:06Is she in?
10:07No.
10:08How's the kids?
10:10I'm not here for a catch-up.
10:11Can you just tell her that I came round?
10:13You don't actually want to spend time with her, do you?
10:15You do know what she did to me.
10:16This is not some petty falling out.
10:18It is, compared to what Evan's going through.
10:21Well, what's happened?
10:22No, nothing.
10:23I just...
10:24I meant his illness, nothing new.
10:26Oh, good.
10:27So long as he's no worse.
10:29Ask her to phone me.
10:31Oh, fine, I'll do it myself.
10:33What is it that you need?
10:34Maybe I can help.
10:36You're my daughter.
10:37I will always do whatever I can for you and the kids.
10:42At least let me help them.
10:47Things are a bit tight.
10:49It's just we've got to keep the house warm.
10:51For Evan,
10:53it's just having a knock-on effect on stuff.
10:56Why didn't you say?
10:57I don't know what to think.
10:59But I can't keep pretending it's going to be OK,
11:01not with Martel dropping off casseroles.
11:04I won't be complaining about that.
11:06Should get him to drop one off you.
11:08Sorry.
11:09Look, I'll get you the cash.
11:11What do you need, a couple of grand?
11:14Five?
11:15I'll pay you back.
11:17It's for a car.
11:20I'll sort it, I promise.
11:28Right, we'll have a brew
11:30and then we'll check that you've got everything.
11:32What time do we need to be at the hospital tomorrow?
11:34Not till the morning, 7am.
11:36Right, fine. I'll see if Amy can take the day off
11:38unless she wanted Carla and Isaac to come with us.
11:40What? No!
11:42I don't even want them knowing about it yet.
11:45Mum, you can't keep it quiet.
11:47You're going to be in hospital for, what, a week?
11:49A few days. Look, can you just slow down?
11:52Look, I'm sorry, Mum, but you just...
11:55You do need to talk to them.
11:57After.
11:59They'll only fuss and worry
12:01and you're doing enough of that for the three of you.
12:04Besides, if I tell them, Kyle will be straight on to Cain.
12:07Oh, you're not serious?
12:09Well, I'm not telling them over the phone.
12:11He'd come racing down here from Aberdeen
12:13and he'd probably put himself in a ditch while he's at it.
12:16Mum, you're not serious.
12:18I mean, he'd probably put himself in a ditch while he's at it.
12:21Mum... It's not up for discussion, Matty.
12:23Right, and what about Mackenzie?
12:25Or is that a stupid question?
12:27No-one needs to know until it's done.
12:29Look, you can drop me at the hospital
12:31and be back here in time to do the breakfast
12:33and the PE kits and whatever else is needed.
12:36Mum, I'm not just dumping you and running.
12:38Well, I won't be going at all if you keep being difficult.
12:40Right, OK, fine.
12:42Well, I'm telling Amy because, unlike you and Cain,
12:44we don't do secrets.
12:46What secrets are these, then?
12:48Ha-ha! Aye!
12:50How you doing?
13:05Right, well, it's a good job you called.
13:07They were all but perished.
13:09I'll sort the kitchen one out and we'll be done.
13:13I thought it was just the bathroom was the problem.
13:16Yeah, Bear's right, though. Once one goes...
13:19Don't tell him that.
13:21You know, I meant what I said yesterday
13:24about you being a good dad.
13:28Right.
13:30And I'm sure Samson will soon get into the swing of things
13:33and start opening up to you.
13:35No offence, Doc, but do you know about being inside?
13:39No.
13:40Well, I wish I didn't neither.
13:42I could fool myself into thinking everything's going to be all right.
13:45Perhaps it will.
13:48But you're right, it's not exactly my specialist subject.
13:53Do you fancy a cuppa? I remembered to fill up the kettle before we started.
13:56No, I'm all right.
14:00It feels like...
14:03..he's building these walls, shutting me out.
14:07Or maybe just learning to cope.
14:09He doesn't want anything to do with me.
14:12And I don't blame him.
14:14Who'd want this as a dad?
14:16Oh...
14:18Sam, I'm sorry.
14:19I've left my wrench upstairs.
14:21Go on, then, what have I missed?
14:23Well, it's here now, Mum.
14:24What's the problem?
14:25There isn't one.
14:27Can you just leave me to do things, please, Matty?
14:30I just want a bit of normality.
14:32Right, come on, you're getting me worried now.
14:35Look, Mum's got...
14:39She's got a burn on her arm.
14:41Yeah, I just had another absinthe seizure.
14:44Yeah, while she was cooking.
14:46Yeah, but I'm fine, look, it's nothing.
14:48Anyway, how come you're here?
14:51When I spoke to you earlier, you were in Aberdeen, so...
14:54I was on my way down, I wanted to surprise you.
14:56As if I'm not confused enough.
14:58Oh, sorry, I wasn't thinking.
15:02Anyway, Dad's doing a lot better.
15:05Helping the larks this morning, driving our Debs nuts.
15:08Practically bullied me into coming home.
15:10Oh, and you listened.
15:12That's good.
15:15Can you go and check on the cars?
15:17The cars?
15:18Cows.
15:19You know what I mean, just...
15:21Can you just give us a bit of space?
15:29Stop arguing with me, I'm buying you a drink.
15:32Two pints, please, Bear.
15:33I'll get these.
15:34No, thanks.
15:35How's them grandkids of mine?
15:37This is a bad idea.
15:39I'm going home.
15:40No, no, it's all right.
15:41I'm done now, anyway.
15:42You stay, you deserve a break.
15:44Been in the scrap.
15:46Accident at work.
15:48Oh.
15:49Well, go on, I'll bring your pints over.
15:51Thanks.
15:55You can go into Leeds if you like.
15:57I just feel like it's way more special here.
15:59And what's the point in showing you off in a place full of strangers?
16:02Look, Tom, I'm not a prize pony.
16:04Anyway, we're in here all the time.
16:06You're right, I'm sorry.
16:08I just wanted to do something nice for you.
16:10But I got up thinking that the more time we spend in here,
16:14the more normal it will be for everyone.
16:16And that way, people will be used to the fact that we're a couple,
16:19whether they like it or not.
16:22There you go, lads.
16:24Cheers.
16:27So when is it, the big fight?
16:30You're going to try and talk me out of it, then?
16:32I would if I thought you'd listen.
16:35But if you want me to keep my mouth shut around dawn,
16:38then I need to know what's going on.
16:40I'm serious, Billy.
16:41Like, you're not in the right headspace, and it could get way worse.
16:44So what if it does?
16:46Look, at least I'm actually doing something.
16:49What does that mean?
16:50I feel useless.
16:52I just want to be a good dad, like the best I can be.
16:55But with Evan being so ill, I can't even help my boy.
16:59So you're punishing yourself?
17:01That's not what it is.
17:03It's a way for me to escape reality, I guess.
17:06It's the only thing I have control over.
17:08Surely that would depend on who you were fighting.
17:11No, it doesn't matter.
17:12Because I'm the one who's stepping up, getting in the ring.
17:17And when I'm in there, there's nothing else I can think about.
17:22This is helping me deal with the worst thing that's ever happened to me.
17:26So I'm begging you, please, just keep this to yourself.
17:34You found it.
17:36Sorry, the box was...
17:38Shouldn't have been looking.
17:40No, it's only a tool box.
17:43None of this is your fault, you know.
17:47Samson's just going to have to find the best way he can of getting through it.
17:50As long as you know he is a good lad, and that's down to you.
17:53I don't know about that.
17:55Well, I do.
17:57Right, then.
17:58Kitchen table.
18:01Right, then. Kitchen tab.
18:03Yeah.
18:06And, er, forget the tea.
18:08I'm buying you a pint as soon as we're finished.
18:10Thanks, Doc, but I'm going to take our bell snaring.
18:14Snaring?
18:15Yeah, I was thinking about it upstairs.
18:17She's never been before, as far as I'm aware.
18:19And as soon as I can't do out for Samson,
18:21at least I can help her take her mind off everything.
18:24I'd still owe you a pint, though.
18:26I could see you down the pub later, after you're done...snaring.
18:31You're on.
18:37You know, Kyle and Isaac are going to be so excited to see you.
18:41We've really missed you.
18:42Well, I've not been gone that long. I've spoken to them plenty.
18:45So what's going on between you and Matty?
18:47Nothing.
18:48Well, we're just...we're getting on each other's nerves, you know.
18:52I mean, it's not his fault.
18:54I don't like someone hovering over me all the time.
18:57Well, you've got no choice.
18:59Not until you have the operation.
19:01Yeah.
19:03Um, about that...
19:05Don't say you've changed your mind again.
19:07No, it's just a bit overwhelming, you know, thinking about it.
19:11Then don't.
19:12Not if he's stressing you out.
19:14Let's cross bridges when we get to him.
19:18You'll be OK on your own while I go and have a shower.
19:20Yeah, sure.
19:25KISSES
19:28PHONE VIBRATES
19:30Oh!
19:33Hey, Debbie.
19:34Yeah, your dad got back home safely, but it's just...
19:38Debbie?
19:39What is it? What's wrong?
19:45He's napping again.
19:47How was he on his walk?
19:48Slept through that too.
19:50But Jenny did say that he'd be tired,
19:52so let's try not to...try not to worry.
19:56I know I've been horrible to live with recently.
19:59Yeah, well, we've both been shattered.
20:01Oh, right, so you're not denying it, then?
20:04Look, Dawn, I've...I've not been myself either, so...
20:08Well, we should be pulling together.
20:10Not sniping at each other.
20:12Not sleeping in separate rooms.
20:15Sorry.
20:16Door was open.
20:17Didn't want to disturb sleeping babies.
20:19Or parents.
20:20I wish.
20:31Stop looking so worried. I've thought it all through.
20:34And?
20:36And I get it.
20:37Not the fighting part, but...
20:39the feeling powerless bit.
20:41It's exactly how I felt when Ruben was sick.
