00:00I know it's a shock.
00:10When did it happen?
00:14Just over an hour ago. Debbie said he'd been out poaching.
00:19But he was getting better. I mean, I know he wasn't 100 per cent. I saw him this morning.
00:27I mean, he promised he'd take it easy.
00:30You know what Zak's like.
00:35Hey, why don't you sit down, darling?
00:38Was he at home?
00:40Yeah.
00:41Apparently, he told Debbie that it was the best morning ever.
00:47And then he nodded off in his chair with a big grin on his face, and...
00:53When she went to wake him, she couldn't.
00:58Come on, what are you doing up there?
01:00Yeah, I'm coming, one minute.
01:02Are you sure about this?
01:04She needs to be outside, Lydia, in fresh air.
01:06Yeah, but she's been through so much recently. If she wants to stay indoors, like...
01:11It's not healthy.
01:12You can't force her to go out.
01:14I'm just worried about her.
01:19I'm here. Happy now?
01:21I will be, once you get your coat on.
01:22Huh?
01:23And you might want to put a sturdy pair of shoes on her now.
01:26What for?
01:27Ah, you'll find out soon enough.
01:30I think he wants to surprise you, lovey.
01:31I don't like surprises.
01:33Well, you're gonna love this one, I promise.
01:37I can't get your number. I'm so... I'm so sorry.
01:53I thought he was getting better.
01:55So did we.
01:57Is he OK?
01:58He's in a bit of shock.
02:00Just needs some space.
02:02Yeah.
02:03Yeah, so, er, have you told him?
02:06Told him what?
02:08About your operation being tomorrow?
02:10No, I didn't get a chance.
02:12Well, you are going to, yeah.
02:13Matty, will you keep your voice down, please?
02:15Oh, come on, Mum, you have to.
02:17No, I don't have to. He needs me right now.
02:19Yeah, and you need this operation.
02:20Well, I'll just have to have it at another time, so just shut up.
02:22I can't believe you're even thinking about putting it off.
02:26Well, I have to.
02:28Like, he is my husband, and his father has just died.
02:34How can I risk him losing me a day later?
02:36Surely he can understand that.
02:38Yeah.
02:39And you are aware that if you don't go into hospital tomorrow,
02:41you'll go to the back of the queue.
02:43Then so be it.
02:45Mum, if you told him, he'd insist that you went in.
02:47Yes, well, I am not telling him.
02:50Matty, he can't deal with this right now.
02:52Look at him, he's a mess.
02:54And he needs me to be strong, so just...
02:58Dad's favourite place, this.
03:01I know.
03:02Used to bring us all here.
03:04Me, you, Butch.
03:06He's even managed to drag our Cain along.
03:09It's not quite like the great outdoors, you'd say.
03:13When you want to get your life back on track.
03:15Remind yourself of who you really are.
03:17The amount of times I've heard him say that.
03:19I know.
03:21It's like a broken record when he gets going.
03:24I bet he says that to Debbie and Jack now.
03:28Yeah.
03:30Yeah, this looks like a good spot.
03:33Good spot for what?
03:35Snaring.
03:37Snaring what, rabbits?
03:38Yeah.
03:39Brilliant.
03:40Or what?
03:48Where are you going?
03:49Wasting my time.
03:50I need to start telling the family.
03:52I'm going to go and see Belle and Sam and then our Chas.
03:55Well, can't you just ring them?
03:57I can't do it over the phone.
04:00Do you want me to do it?
04:01No, no, it needs to come from me.
04:04Dad, you're back.
04:05Hey, what are you doing home?
04:07School ran you, I've got a bellyache.
04:08Oh, yeah, right, sorry.
04:10Right, I'll get going, I'll call you in a bit.
04:13What's happened?
04:16Come here.
04:18Erm, I need to go out now.
04:22Why?
04:23I'll tell you when I come back, OK?
04:26Good lad.
04:30I love you, kid.
04:31Don't you ever forget that, all right?
04:39That was weird.
04:40What's going on?
04:42Let's get you sorted.
04:45Right, this bit's a bit tricky.
04:49But when you get the knack, it's easy.
04:52Do you want to have a go?
04:53Er, no, I'm good, I'll just watch.
04:56Should have bought a few tinnies with us.
04:58It's what me and my dad used to do.
05:00And then he'd start cracking terrible knock-knock jokes.
05:03Might go see him next week.
05:05Yeah, he'll love that.
05:07I've been meaning to go up and see him for ages.
05:10Yeah, I need to tell him everything that's been going on,
05:12but I just feel like he'll be disappointed in me.
05:16Give over, he'd never be that.
05:18No, I know, but...
05:21..he's raised me better than to put up with what I have.
05:24Tom walking all over me and then me
05:26trying to stand up for myself,
05:27but he just grounds me down till I'm nothing.
05:31You will never be nothing.
05:34Do you hear me?
05:35You're the one bright spark in this family, remember?
05:38I've got to take responsibility.
05:40No, you don't.
05:43Tom's a bully.
05:44He's controlled you, kept you away from your family.
05:46He's the one who needs to take responsibility.
05:49I really feel like I've let him down.
05:51Don't be daft, you could never let your dad down.
05:54Him and Lisa were made up when you came along.
05:57I were in Ireland, and I come back, and there you were.
06:00Dad said it was the best Christmas day ever.
06:04Trust me to miss it.
06:09What are you doing?
06:10I don't want to kill these rabbits.
06:12Well, if we don't, a fox or some other animal will.
06:16It's nature.
06:17A circle of life, as my dad says.
06:20Sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly.
06:24Right.
06:28Let's get going, I'll come back tomorrow,
06:30see if we've snared out.
06:40Do you remember the time, Mum,
06:41when you brought me two cuckoos before?
06:43Yeah, two went anywhere in first aid.
06:45Yeah, Diane would have been serving.
06:47So he got Terry's bag and downed it in a wannit.
06:49Hey!
06:52What are you doing here?
06:55It's Lydia and I, eh?
06:58I was waiting for you two to get back.
07:19I'm sorry.

09:13I'm sorry.
09:14I'm sorry.
09:16SECOND SITUATION
09:24I only spoke to him a couple of days ago,
09:27and he said he was on the mess.
09:31Where's Noah?
09:34He's on a course in Sheffield.
09:35He said he's on his way there.
09:36Could you give this to Sam for me?
09:38Ask him how he is.
09:40Why isn't she picking up?
09:42Who is it you're trying to call?
09:47Debs.
09:48I mean, it should be an absolute mess if he was the one that found him.
09:51Can't get hold of Ryan, either.
09:53Look, I'm gonna get off.
09:54Ain't girl working?
09:55Oh, yeah.
09:56So stay.
09:57She'll be able to manage.
09:58No, well, then you might really need to go.
09:59Okay.
10:00Just pick up, please.
10:01Yeah, I'm gonna ask her for a loan.
10:02I know she'd happily let me start on the street.
10:03I'm not gonna let her.
10:04I'm not gonna let her.
10:05I'm not gonna let her.
10:06I'm not gonna let her.
10:07I'm not gonna let her.
10:08I'm not gonna let her.
10:09I'm not gonna let her.
10:10I'm not gonna let her.
10:11I'm not gonna let her.
10:12She's gonna let me start on the streets, but she won't let you and the kids go without.
10:16Yeah.
10:17I'm gonna have to go down.
10:19I'll, uh...
10:20I'll call you back in.
10:23I, uh...
10:24I need to ask you something.
10:28I've had Lydia on the phone.
10:32Oh, yeah?
10:36Zak's gone.
10:37What?
10:38Passed away this morning.
10:41Oh, hey. Bless you. Come here.
10:57Hey, you OK?
11:01What's happened?
11:04Come on, you can tell me.
11:08Uncle Zak.
11:12What about him?
11:27I'm so, so sorry.
11:34Come on, let me walk you back to the pub.
11:36No, I can't deal with that. Not yet, anyway.
11:40I should be with you, but I couldn't deal with that either.
11:43OK, let's go for a walk.
11:45Liam, I'm sure you've got much more interesting things to be doing
11:49than looking after me. I'm fine.
11:52I'm not taking no for an answer.
11:54Well, you're going to have to this time, OK?
11:56Well, I'm not. You're overruled. Come on.
12:00Oh!
12:09Yeah, we're fine. We're all up at Wishing Well together.
12:13I just wish you could be with us, Debs.
12:16Where's Belle?
12:20I didn't realise she weren't here.
12:22I haven't seen her for a while, actually.
12:25Maybe I should go out and look for her.
12:27No, you stay here.
12:29Are you sure? Honestly, I really don't...
12:31Listen, I'm going to have to get off.
12:33I told Mary I'd be off in an hour.
12:35I need to tell April and Leo.
12:37OK, lovey.
12:40Seems unreal, doesn't it?
12:42Mary, him and Lisa were so kind to me.
12:46SHE SIGHS
12:54I kept on saying I'd get up and then I didn't.
12:58Hey, I said the same a hundred times.
13:01I'm just lucky I went up when I did.
13:04Get in here.
13:06Oh, Belle. What about her?
13:08No, she's not here.
13:10So where is she?
13:12I don't know.
13:13I don't know how I'm going to tell Aaron.
13:15Was he not up at Wishingwell with you?
13:17No, he's away.
13:19Another scrap trip.
13:21Chas, all he's going to want to do is support you.
13:24I know.
13:26But he's going to be devastated.
13:29Uncle Zak was always the one that we went to when we were in trouble.
13:33And as you know, my Aaron gets in more trouble than most.
13:38Yeah, well, Zak was a very special person.
13:42Do you mind if we sit down?
13:44No, no, not at all.
13:52I don't know why, but I'm suddenly exhausted.
13:57Well, perfectly normal under the circumstances.
14:00Don't you dare go all doctor-y on me.
14:03Sorry.
14:05You know, I hardly ever see my family.
14:08Don't really get on.
14:10But you, Dingles, you're close.
14:12You've never experienced Dingle Court, have you?
14:15No, but I've heard about it.
14:19He was so fierce when he was young.
14:22You should have known him back then.
14:25Terrifying.
14:27You dare.
14:29You dare defy the Dingle Court and God help you.
14:32Honestly, you'd think before you talked back to him.
14:35Oh, I did.
14:36But we respected him, you know.
14:39No matter what, we respected him because he was the head of the family,
14:42and that was that.
14:46Like a dad to me.
14:54Looks like someone's wondering where you are.
15:00What did you do that for?
15:02I'm not leaving you on your own.
15:04I'm fine.
15:05No, you're not.
15:06Ella's waiting for you.
15:08So?
15:09I want to be with you.
15:12Right, Liam.
15:14I think you should go.
15:27You sure you're gonna be okay?
15:29Yeah.
15:35I'm sorry.
15:40Liam.
15:45Thanks for the chat.
15:47I really appreciate it.
16:04You okay?
16:07Not really, no.
16:09I want my dad.
16:12I want him.
16:15We all do.
16:18It's gonna be okay.
16:21I promise you.
16:23I'm here, remember?
16:25I'll be.
16:30What happens now?
16:34I'm gonna go back to Aberdeen later.
16:38I'm gonna bring him home.
16:41At least he's with mum now.
16:44Unlike Lisa.
16:47He died peacefully.
16:49I so took him for granted.
16:52I really felt like he was gonna be here forever.
16:57We all did.
17:00Thanks, lads.
17:02You thinking?
17:04He's out with Sam, looking for Belle.
17:06Oh, dear.
17:07No, it's fine. I stuck my head out the door.
17:10They're just over in one of the fields.
17:12It's probably what they need.
17:14Exactly.
17:15They're certainly gonna need each other now.
17:21Hey, just in time for a drink, eh?
17:24Not for me, Tar. I'm driving up to Aberdeen in a bit.
17:27Belle, come on, sit down.
17:30How was the snaring?
17:34Seems like ages ago now.
17:36Well, a lot's happened since then.
17:41When was the last time I took our Belle out snaring?
17:44I don't know. Let me have a think.
17:45The answer's never.
17:47But earlier I got this really strong feeling that I had to.
17:51Why was that, then?
17:53I think my dad wanted me to.
17:55Right.
17:57I know it sounds daft, but he were there with us today.
18:01I know it.
18:03Well, stranger things have happened.
18:10I'm gonna have to ring the prison in a bit.
18:12Ask them if they'll let Samson know his grandad's died.
18:16What, and have someone who's not family tell him?
18:19I've got no choice, have I?
18:21He needs to know today.
18:24I suppose.
18:28Zak knew exactly what was important in life.
18:32Family.
18:34For him, they came first and they came last.
18:39He put family above everything.
18:42Well, you can't go wrong with that philosophy.
18:45We could all learn a lesson from that.
18:48Agreed.
18:52He was never considered a bright man.
18:55When, in fact, he was one of the brightest men I knew.
19:05He sure as hell knew how to get what he wanted,
19:08be it legal or illegal.
19:12I admired him for that.
19:18What was it you wanted to ask me?
19:20Oh, it, er... It don't matter.
19:23It don't matter. It was something to note.
19:26Sure? Absolutely.
19:28Come here.
19:37You all right? Yeah.
19:39I feel better now you're here.
19:44This is a sad day.
19:49Are you gonna be OK?
19:51Yeah.
19:53Are you sure you want to do this?
19:56More than anything I've ever done.
20:06Thank you. They're beautiful.
20:09We're so sorry.
20:11My sincere condolences.
20:21Come on.
20:30Safe journey, mate.
20:34She'll be getting off.
20:36Drive carefully.
20:45Bring him home safely.
