00:00Hey.
00:21Hello, John.
00:22You're out already?
00:23It's a day off. You should be having a lie in.
00:25No, I've been awake since five.
00:27I can't switch my brain off.
00:28Yeah, it's this Owen business.
00:30It's kept me awake, too.
00:33Yeah, well, it's done now.
00:34There's no point raking over it.
00:35If the police are wrapping things up, then maybe we should, too.
00:39At least me and Cain are back on track.
00:42He called earlier to apologise for laying in to me.
00:45Well, you want to know how dangerous Owen was.
00:47I can understand him lashing out, though.
00:50Nate's dead. Owen is, too.
00:52He's never going to get the justice he deserves or the vengeance.
00:56Yeah, I should get off.
01:00Of course.
01:01Of course, of course.
01:02What the shit?
01:03Sorry.
01:04Sorry.
01:07Are you OK?
01:09You look like death.
01:11No, I'm fine.
01:12Just didn't sleep too well.
01:14Oh, it's been a rough few days.
01:18One of your patients tops himself and turns out to be Nate's killer.
01:21At least Cain will get the closure he needs.
01:24Oh, no, no.
01:24He's a long way from that.
01:25I think we all are.
01:37I'm flying out this afternoon, so set up a meeting for tomorrow.
01:41I want this finalised as soon as possible.
01:46Planning a trip?
01:48Dubai.
01:49I'm still trying to release the rest of my investments over there,
01:53but the company's dragging its heels.
01:54I thought some face-to-face negotiations might hurry things along.
01:59What the lady wants, the lady gets.
02:02Subject to the occasional annoying delay.
02:05Like Robert.
02:08I wanted that land deal signed off yesterday.
02:12Might not be much, but if I'm going to pull off this plan,
02:16owning that field is key.
02:18Yeah, I know that.
02:19Which is why I spoke to him.
02:22Yeah, well, threatening him's not going to help.
02:24He knows how much I want it now.
02:26He'll push the price.
02:28So, what's the plan of action?
02:32I'm leaving you in charge of that.
02:35However you do it,
02:36I want Robert's land in my ownership by the time I get back.
02:39Heyo, any chance of a brew?
02:44Go in the get-less.
02:48Oh, I heard that you and Charity had a bust-up.
02:51Big gob.
02:51Told you not to say anything.
02:53Well, it must be pretty bad if you're keeping on Cain's sofa.
02:56They had a disagreement over Sarah wanting a baby, that's all.
02:59Well, I thought that ship had sailed.
03:01No, she's trying the surrogate route now.
03:05Helpful.
03:06Who's doing that for her?
03:08Anyone we know?
03:10Well, that's a yes, then.
03:12Why is that a problem for you and Charity?
03:15None of your business.
03:16It's not her, is it?
03:20No!
03:21Charity!
03:23Popping out her own great-grandkids!
03:27Man, Dingles are freaks!
03:30Oh, man, that is priceless!
03:33Nothing has been confirmed yet, so no saying anything.
03:36Wait.
03:37Who's the dad?
03:38No!
03:39Is it Dr Shopkeeper?
03:40All right, Ross, just drop it now.
03:42That is a cracking marriage that you've got.
03:45IVF!
03:46It's nothing sordid!
03:47All right, enough!
03:48You, get back to work.
03:50And you, go and sort things out with your wife.
03:52That is your job for the day.
03:54Oh, hey, good luck with that one, buddy.
03:57Ross!
03:57That is Dingles!
03:58Hey!
04:14Pastry?
04:15I had breakfast with Harry.
04:20He was babbling on about his summer camp ideas.
04:23Summer camp?
04:23Up at Gransfield.
04:25He wants you and John to build him a wigwam and camp with him in the summer holidays.
04:29Sounds delightful.
04:30Well, we can't afford to visit Darren in Portugal this year, so he just wants to have a little
04:35bit of fun with his uncles.
04:36What?
04:37Well, I doubt he'll get any of that out of John.
04:39I just bumped into him.
04:41Er, seemed a bit anxious.
04:43What about?
04:44Maybe he's having some kind of trouble.
04:47With his mental health, you mean?
04:50Maybe you could help him.
04:52You've been struggling too.
04:53Get him on board with Harry's summer camp.
04:56Bit of brotherly bonding out in nature.
04:59Might do you both the world of good.
05:20Anybody home?
05:31Flippin' heck, Moll.
05:32Have you ever heard a knocking?
05:33Just thought pop round, see how you're doing.
05:36Now's not a good time.
05:38You're playing zombies with somebody else now.
05:42Rude.
05:43No, no.
05:44I'm doing a thing.
05:45What thing?
05:46I'm volunteering for a helpline.
05:47It's a charity that helps people at risk.
05:49Since when?
05:50Not long, actually.
05:51In fact, this is my fourth shift.
05:54Right.
05:55Are you sure you're up to it?
05:58Yeah.
05:59I've trained for it.
06:00They wouldn't let me do it if they didn't think I was capable.
06:03I'm someone who's messaging.
06:06I'm gonna have to leave.
06:08I've only just gone here.
06:09Shoo!
06:10It's confidential.
06:19Thanks for contacting the helpline.
06:29This is a safe spacing and anything we discuss stays strictly between us.
06:44I need to get stuff off my chest.
06:53I've tried holding it in but I can't anymore.
06:57Ah!
06:58So you are here.
06:59I've rung three times.
07:00No answer.
07:01The phone's been ringing off the hook all morning.
07:02I've only got one pair of ears.
07:03Well, now they're listening.
07:04Archie needs an appointment.
07:05What's it regarding?
07:06Veruca's.
07:07Two on each foot.
07:08You can't let them spread.
07:09You should have dealt with it sooner.
07:10I don't need a lecture.
07:11I took him to the pharmacy ages ago.
07:12Whatever they gave us didn't work.
07:13So?
07:14Hi.
07:15DC call.
07:16Horton police.
07:17I just need a word with Dr Cavanagh.
07:18Do you want to wait your turn?
07:19He's with a patient at the moment.
07:20Yeah.
07:21I'm trying to make an appointment.
07:22But if you'd like to take a seat, he won't wait.
07:23The phone's been ringing off the hook all morning.
07:24I've only got one pair of ears.
07:25Well, now they're listening.
07:26Archie needs an appointment.
07:27What's it regarding?
07:28Veruca's.
07:29Two on each foot.
07:30You can't let them spread.
07:31You should have dealt with it sooner.
07:32I don't need a lecture.
07:38It won't be long.
07:40How come he gets all the charm?
07:43You would too if you weren't so rude.
07:45Tuesday, 10.15 with Manpreet.
07:51You've got a visitor.
07:53Dr Cavanagh.
07:55I just need to ask a few questions regarding the Owen Michaels case.
08:00Oh, I thought I'd told DS Walsh everything I know.
08:03Yeah, but as his GP we need some more information.
08:06Medications, mental health observations.
08:08It shouldn't take long.
08:10Right.
08:11Well, better come through.
08:19There's no escape from it.
08:21All the hurt I've caused everywhere I go is some reminder.
08:27So, you're struggling with the guilt.
08:40Drowning, more like.
08:44I can't talk to anyone.
08:48Can't make it right.
08:49I'm on my own with this.
08:53Trapped.
08:56Hmm.
08:59Everyone makes mistakes.
09:03But what would starting afresh look like?
09:09Leave the past where it is and forgive myself.
09:14It's in your power to do that.
09:19You're right.
09:23It's in my power.
09:24It's a choice.
09:26That's really helped.
09:27Excuse me.
09:28You left this behind.
09:29Thanks.
09:30Honestly, I would forget my head if it weren't screwed on.
09:32Liam in trouble again.
09:33Don't be ridiculous.
09:34They were just asking questions about the sinner who killed Nate.
09:36I don't know.
09:37It's a choice.
09:38It's a choice.
09:39It's a choice.
09:41That's really helped.
09:42Excuse me.
09:43You left this behind.
09:44Thanks.
09:45Honestly, I would forget my head if it weren't screwed on.
09:46Liam in trouble again.
09:47Don't be ridiculous.
09:48They were just asking questions about the sinner who killed Nate.
09:50Ah, that's right.
09:51Yeah, he was Liam and John's patient.
09:52Liam's, officially.
09:53John only called round to the house because I double-booked them.
09:54Owen's house?
09:55I thought it was Liam that found him.
09:56It was.
09:57In the end.
09:58John stopped.
09:59John stopped.
10:00John stopped.
10:01John stopped.
10:02John stopped.
10:03John stopped.
10:04John stopped.
10:05John stopped.
10:06John stopped.
10:07John stopped.
10:08John stopped.
10:09John stopped.
10:10John stopped.
10:11John stopped.
10:12You left this behind.
10:13Thanks.
10:14Honestly, I would forget my head if it weren't screwed on.
10:15Liam in trouble again.
10:16Don't be ridiculous.
10:17Don't be ridiculous.
10:18In the end.
10:19John stopped by the day before.
10:21But no one was answering.
10:23Anyworld.
10:24Surgery business.
10:26Just a tragedy.
10:28He wasn't able to save the poor soul.
10:30Yeah.
10:31Yeah, yeah.
10:33Real tragedy.
10:48Hey.
10:49Hey.
10:50Thought you were off on a job.
10:51Yeah.
10:52I've left the truck keys somewhere.
10:53Oh.
10:54Would you fancy a camping trip?
10:55Get away for the night?
10:56Just the two of us?
10:57No.
10:58I can't.
10:59I've got a lot of scraps to collect.
11:00Can't Biddy do it?
11:01No.
11:02He's there.
11:03He's off today.
11:04Well, sack it off then.
11:05Come on.
11:06What is more important than spending quality time with your husband?
11:07Well, you've burnt up.
11:08Been all over the place since Nate's funeral.
11:09What's brought all this on?
11:10I don't know.
11:11I've had a word with myself.
11:12No, I've had a word with myself.
11:13No mum open around.
11:14It is.
11:15Now it's time to make a change.
11:16Right.
11:17Okay.
11:18Well, yeah.
11:19Sounds good.
11:20Just a bit.
11:21I've got a lot of scrap to collect.
11:22Can't Biddy do it?
11:23No, he's there.
11:24He's off today.
11:25Well, sack it off then.
11:26Come on.
11:27What is more important than spending quality time with your husband?
11:29Well, you've burnt up.
11:30Been all over the place since Nate's funeral.
11:32What's brought all this on?
11:33I don't know.
11:34I've had a word with myself.
11:35No mum open around.
11:36It is.
11:37Now it's time to make a change.
11:38Right.
11:39Sounds good.
11:40Just give me a couple of hours and I'll come back.
11:42Back a bag and we'll go.
11:54That's not good.
11:55Mac walking out yesterday.
11:56I know.
11:57And what if it's permanent?
11:58I don't want them two fighting over Granby and Massa Rigger.
12:00I'd rather just call the whole thing off.
12:02Unless he changes his mind.
12:04I'm not banking on it.
12:06I mean, look how much trouble it's causing.
12:07You've fallen out with your grandad.
12:09Mac's arguing with Gran.
12:10Loads of women can't have babies.
12:12Maybe I'm just supposed to be one of them.
12:14Why don't I speak to charity?
12:16Try and work out where her head's at.
12:18Yeah, it's worth a try.
12:19Thanks, Vanessa.
12:20I'm sorry this is getting you down so much.
12:24I can't help it.
12:25There's just so many obstacles in the way.
12:27I'll finish soon.
12:29How about we do something nice this afternoon?
12:31Try to take your mind off things.
12:32Yeah, if you can put up with me.
12:33It's not putting up.
12:34I care about you.
12:36Might even put a smile on your face, you never know.
12:39See, I've started already.
12:42I'll text you later, yeah?
12:44Arrange a place to meet.
12:45Yeah, thanks, Jacob.
12:46If anyone knows how to cheer me up, you do.
12:48Hello, you.
13:02Lunch already?
13:04Er, tea break was cancelled, remember?
13:07Yeah.
13:08That's because somebody was winding up Mackenzie.
13:10Mum?
13:12Er, there's someone here to see you from the water company.
13:15Morrodingle?
13:17Noel McHughes.
13:18I'm here about the appeal you lodged against your fine.
13:21Oh, I was, um, expecting an email.
13:24It's an important matter.
13:26We like to be customer-centric.
13:28I thought it best to deliver the news in person.
13:31Well, they better be good.
13:32Er, alas not.
13:34I'm sorry to inform you, your appeal was turned down.
13:37What?
13:38How?
13:39I mean, we've provided enough evidence, surely?
13:42The panel still felt you had a duty to keep your slurry store secure.
13:46Yes, but the leak was an accident.
13:48The results are the same, unfortunately.
13:51The environmental damage was rather severe.
13:53Several people fell ill.
13:55A child was hospitalised.
13:57Yeah, now we're a pain through the nose for it.
13:59It gets worse, I'm afraid.
14:01Er, you've been ordered to pay costs for the clean-up, plus legal fees.
14:05What, so I'm paying for my own prosecution?
14:08It's nonsensical, I know.
14:10I don't make the rules.
14:11But you're still in foursome.
14:13Look, we can't afford the original fine, never mind all this on top.
14:17We don't expect payment immediately.
14:19Oh, generous.
14:21Er, we've set out a plan of increased monthly instalments.
14:24Er, the first payment is due fortnight today.
14:28If it's late, I'm afraid you will incur a penalty.
14:32Would it be this much?
14:34I am struggling as it is.
14:36I know what a blow this must be for you.
14:41Give me a tinkle if I can help in any way.
14:43I'll see myself out.
14:51Aless, Nord.
14:52Tinkle.
14:53What a creep.
14:54He enjoyed doing that.
14:55Well, we're not just going to take it.
14:56We're going to put in another appeal, Mum.
14:58It's not going to work, Matty.
14:59That was our only chance.
15:01Now we're screwed.
15:03This could finish us off.
15:08I think I owe you an apology.
15:10You shouldn't have found out about the surrogacy through my granddad.
15:14No, I'm really sorry.
15:17Well, at least someone has the decency to tell me.
15:20If you're not on board with it, then it won't be happening.
15:23Sarah doesn't want to come between you and Charity.
15:27Oh, I think it's a bit late for that.
15:33There's one thing after another in this place.
15:35Call it a quiet village.
15:38Sorry?
15:39Police.
15:40Sniffing around again.
15:41Just seeing them asking Liam questions about that Owen Michaels fella.
15:45Is that the guy that killed Nate?
15:47Allegedly.
15:49Apparently, John called around his house the day before his body was discovered,
15:52but said he didn't see anyone.
15:56Hey, who knows?
15:58Why would you lie about that?
16:00Well, maybe I'm overthinking it, but...
16:03I'm just not sure I trust the bloke.
16:06Hey.
16:07You all right?
16:08Yep.
16:13This is Kane's son you're talking about.
16:16So whatever baseless theory you've got cooking up, leave me out of it.
16:20I've got enough on my plate.
16:21You cheered up?
16:22Have I?
16:23This morning outside the car, feel like you had the weight of your world on your shoulders.
16:37Well, a lot can happen in a day.
16:39Things are looking up.
16:44For caring though.
16:46Means a lot.
16:56Hey.
16:57Not disturbing you, am I?
16:58Oh, hey.
16:59I'm just reading this article.
17:01A woman in Wales.
17:02Carried her own daughter's kid.
17:04At 55.
17:06Oh, good for her.
17:07Well no, good for me and all.
17:09I'm six years younger.
17:11So much to tell the naysayers anyway.
17:13I, er, hear Mac's not too keen on the idea.
17:17Sarah filled me in earlier.
17:19He's upset.
17:20I've handled it badly.
17:22I should have discussed it with him first before cracking on with the tests.
17:25Oh, Charity.
17:26No wonder he's upset.
17:28But I just assumed he'd be in favour of it.
17:30It's not like me and him are trying for any more kids.
17:32We've discussed all of that.
17:34You're offering to be Sarah's surrogate.
17:35That's still massive.
17:37But he knows how much this means to Sarah.
17:40And to me.
17:41And it's nine months of our lives.
17:42It's not a lot to sacrifice.
17:45But it is to him.
17:47Look, if he's not behind this, you could end up apart.
17:50No, I know.
17:51And that's not what I want.
17:52Vanessa, I love him.
17:53I just wish you could get on board with it.
17:56Does it have to be you?
17:58Maybe someone else could be a surrogate.
18:00What, some stranger off the internet?
18:02That we can't even trust?
18:04What about an agency?
18:05We've tried them all.
18:06Whenever they hear that she's got Fanconi anaemia, they just...
18:09They won't touch her.
18:10It makes total sense for it to be me.
18:13But unfortunately not to Mac.
18:23But you can't actually use them.
18:25I don't think they're going to be right now.
18:26If you're in there, they may not have a chance for it.
18:27But you can't we?
18:28Maybe they're going to be right now.
18:29I know that you're in the hunt for a while.
18:30To be a war.
18:31This is my war.
18:32I was at all, but you're at all.
18:33I was at all.
18:34But I was at all with a war.
18:36Let's say.
18:37I was at all, but you want to see the ship.
18:40I was at all.
18:41So this helpline thing, shh, is that why you blew me out?
19:11Yesterday.
19:12Right, Ben?
19:13Why didn't you just tell me?
19:14Because it's confidential.
19:15If people find out it's somebody local, it might put them off getting in touch.
19:18You don't have to be secretive with your best mate.
19:21I was worried you'd make a fuss.
19:24Like, when you asked me if I was up to it earlier, it's like you don't trust me.
19:28I'm just concerned, that's all.
19:30You've got enough problems of your own, never mind other people's.
19:32Well, I like helping people.
19:34Makes me feel useful.
19:36Look, I hope there's some mint in there.
19:39You've got to abort mission halfway through Lasagne.
19:41I'm sorry it's late.
19:42Some hatchet man turned up from the water company telling us that they'd turned down an appeal.
19:47And we've been hit with some extra charges.
19:49How much is that going to cost?
19:50More than I've got, I know that much.
19:52I'll have to put my prices up again.
19:55I think we're paying over the odds as it is.
19:58What else can I do?
19:59My back's up against the wall, Marlon.
20:01Sorry.
20:10Kim.
20:11It's me.
20:12I've just seen Moira.
20:13I think now might be the perfect time to offer her a helping hand.
20:17They're a helping hand.
20:41Let's go.
21:11What are you doing?
21:41I, er, wasn't expecting you back this soon.
21:50Well, the brakes needed doing so dropped off with our cane.
21:54What are you burning?
21:56Oh, just having a clear out.
22:02The medical stuff?
22:04Yes.
22:05It's out of date.
22:06I need to get rid of it.
22:07Should you not be doing that at the surgery?
22:09I was burning stuff anyway, so I thought I'd dispose of it here.
22:14It's not like you. You usually do everything by the book.
22:16Well, look, we're off camping later.
22:18It's better this than spending the whole day filling in forms.
22:21As long as you're not gonna get in any trouble.
22:23Well, I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
22:25Whatever.
22:27Look, the more I get done now, the more time I'll have to focus on us.
22:31And that is all I want. Just me and you.
22:34And some peace for once.
22:37I'll leave you two of them.
22:49How's the crispin' pickle sandwich?
22:50Do you know what? You got it perfect this time.
22:52Just the right combination.
22:53Weirdo. Who even eats that?
22:56Probably only me.
22:58Thanks for being so thoughtful.
23:00You're welcome.
23:01Glad it's cheered you up.
23:03You've definitely done that.
23:04Going to all this effort just for me.
23:06I'm really lucky to have you.
23:07It's only a picnic.
23:09No, not just for that.
23:10You've done loads for me recently.
23:12Supporting me through the cancer and then the hysterectomy.
23:15Now being a part of this crazy baby plan.
23:17Don't know where I'd be without you.
23:19I want this baby just as much.
23:22If it happens, what if Mac puts a stop to it all?
23:25And then all of this has just been a waste of time.
23:28It'd still be us.
23:30Look Jacob, we went into this as mates.
23:32If we're not going to be parents, I'm not expecting anything else of you.
23:34I'm not in this out of duty.
23:37I've loved hanging out with you and getting close again.
23:41Now if we were to have a baby, that'd be amazing.
23:44But me and you are what matters most.
23:46We can still be mates, can't we?
23:48Even without a baby.
23:50I don't mean as mates.
23:53I want to be with you.
23:58I love you, Sarah.
24:00I'm head over heels.
24:03Ro, what are you doing?
24:10I'm sorry, was that wrong of me?
24:12Look Jacob, I'm sorry. I can't do this again.
24:23Let me guess.
24:24Doing some research on your mythical sustainable farming project.
24:28There's nothing mythical about it.
24:29Like I said, it's a family legacy.
24:31You don't care about the land, only what you can get for it.
24:33Well, a lot more than Kim can offer me, that's for sure.
24:35Well, she's currently on her way to Dubai, so she's left me in charge of her deal in her absence.
24:40I said the deal's off.
24:41And no amount of threats are going to change that.
24:43You thought yesterday was a threat?
24:45Oh, it can get a whole lot worse than that, believe me.
24:48Yeah, what are you going to do, eh? Rough me up?
24:50I'd like to see you try.
24:52Why don't you do the honours?
24:54Go on.
24:55Hospitalise me.
24:56I'm sure your friends in prison are really missing their lackey.
24:59Oi!
25:00What's all this?
25:02Your brother's got a real short fuse today.
25:05I've got bigger fish to fry, haven't you?
25:07Well, Kim's a big fish.
25:08Would you get your priorities straight?
25:10What's Kim got to do with it?
25:11Nothing.
25:12She doesn't know.
25:16Interesting.
25:17What don't I know?
25:18Nothing.
25:19Well, I'll just go and ask him then, shall I?
25:21I cut Kim up on the road earlier, that's all.
25:24Whose car are you in?
25:26It better not have been mine.
25:27Robert, you're not even insured.
25:31Robert!
25:34Sarah.
25:35Sarah, this is my fault.
25:36I shouldn't have tried to kiss you.
25:38I misread it, that's all.
25:40I'm really sorry.
25:41No, it's not just you.
25:42I'm sorry too.
25:44Don't be.
25:45If you want to stay as mates, that's fine.
25:47I would rather that than lose you completely.
25:51You said you loved me.
25:53I do love you.
25:55I never stopped.
25:58I never stopped loving you either.
26:00Look, I know I got with Cammy after you ended things,
26:02and I did really like him, but...
26:05I always knew it was you I wanted to be with.
26:08Why didn't you say anything to me?
26:11That day you kissed me after the dirt bike race,
26:13you backtracked and said we were mates.
26:15Because I was scared, Jacob.
26:17And I still am that you're gonna get cold feet and break up with me,
26:19and, you know, I haven't got the strength for another heartbreak.
26:21Life's hard enough as it is right now.
26:23I was scared too back then.
26:26But ending it was the worst mistake I ever made.
26:30All I'm asking for is another chance.
26:33I won't hurt you again.
26:36I promise.
26:39I love you.
26:41I love you too.
26:42I mean, this is me all over, isn't it?
26:51Settle down with a personal love and then blow it all up and ruin everything.
26:55You've got a form, I'll give you that.
26:58But this is different though.
27:00You're not doing it for you, you're doing it for Sarah.
27:03Yeah.
27:09Back.
27:11Well, I do still live here.
27:13Well, unless you turned upstairs into a nursery already.
27:16Right, I better skip off then.
27:17Oh, no, no, no.
27:18Please, please don't.
27:19Please don't leave on my accord.
27:21Because I'm sure surrogacy's been the hot topic of conversation anyway.
27:25So, get to it.
27:26No, no, no, we're just having a catch up.
27:28That's all, nothing important.
27:29Okay, I'll see you around.
27:41Oh, she's a good liar, isn't she?
27:43Fine, okay, we were discussing it.
27:46She was actually reminding me that my marriage is at stake.
27:48Not that I need reminding, cos it's all I've thought about since you've left.
27:51Well, you don't think that I haven't?
27:53I hated being apart from you yesterday.
27:55You were the one who left.
27:56Well, now I'm back.
27:57So, maybe try listening instead of trying to shoot me down every time I voice my opinions.
28:03Well, go on then, voice it.
28:05We can skip the health risks, cos we've done that one.
28:09You hurt me, Charity.
28:13You didn't even consider how I'd feel about you being pregnant again,
28:17not to mention being pregnant with someone else's baby.
28:19Look, I just wanted to be sure that they would accept me first.
28:23Save the difficult conversations till we knew.
28:26Charity, we are husband and wife.
28:28These conversations should have already been had.
28:30You know what I'd give to raise a child of my own.
28:34You've already got kids, but I will never have that opportunity with Ruben.
28:38Babe, listen, wait.
28:39What about Moses?
28:41He sees you as...as a dad.
28:44Look, I...I know you're hurting that...that you've lost Ruben,
28:49but me getting pregnant wasn't even on my radar before Sarah's hysterectomy.
28:54It wasn't even on yours.
28:56She is the only reason I'm doing this.
28:58And if I don't help her try, I'll never forgive myself.
29:01Or me.
29:03Look, I know what I'm asking of you.
29:06And I know it's the biggest sacrifice that you will ever make.
29:10But I can't do this without you.
29:13I...I need your blessing.
29:19Yeah.
29:21I don't want to lose you either.
29:25And I know how difficult this is.
29:27So, if...
29:28If...
29:31If you being Sarah's surrogate is what you want to do,
29:33then I will support you all the way.
29:42So, are we keeping us between us,
29:43or telling people that we're a couple then?
29:45We're in love.
29:46I want to shout it from the rooftops.
29:48So we do.
29:50You don't want to tell people?
29:51No, I'm happy to.
29:52The lonely has questions, so we may as well be up front.
29:55So, is it official then?
29:56We're boyfriend and girlfriend.
29:59Unless we take it a step further and made it properly official.
30:02How do you mean?
30:06I know this is quick.
30:08And it might seem crazy, but I want you to know I'm committed to this.
30:13Whoa, what are you doing?
30:14I haven't got a ring,
30:18or a speech, or anything I'm supposed to right now.
30:21All I know is how much I love you.
30:23And I don't care what's round the corner every single day.
30:27We've got life, whatever life throws at us.
30:30I want us to spend together.
30:34Sarah Sugden.
30:36Will you marry me?
30:37Are you serious?
30:39Why else would I have been out here?
30:41You idiot, yes.
30:43Of course, I'll marry you.
30:51It's open.
30:57Apologies for the intrusion.
31:00I was hoping for a quiet word.
31:02Well, I'm busy, so you're out of luck.
31:04You could hear me out, at least.
31:09I overheard your conversation in the Woolpack,
31:12discussing your predicament with the water company.
31:15So you're here to gloat?
31:17I'm here as Kim's envoy.
31:19I explained your situation.
31:21Local farmer struggling to survive, and she wants to help.
31:25Help?
31:27Help how, exactly?
31:29She wants to buy your farm.
31:53Kim, buying butlers.
31:55Surprising, I know.
31:58But this is a serious proposal.
32:01It's not that surprising.
32:03She's tried this before.
32:05Caleb destroying my business so that she could snap up my land cheap.
32:09Yeah, she told me about that.
32:11But you were both duped back then.
32:13This offer is genuine.
32:15Kim's currently on her way to Dubai.
32:17She's left me in charge to draw up this contract.
32:33It's a fair price.
32:35And what's the plan?
32:38You're going to turn it into sprawling new housing development.
32:41Well, that's what I'd do.
32:43No, Kim, she's adamant that she wants to protect the place.
32:48This is a dying industry.
32:51It is.
32:53Little farms like yours are going under every single day.
32:58Kim, she wants to step in and she wants to make sure that you're not muscled out by some big corporate developer.
33:06And you think I'm going to let that happen?
33:09Keep hemorrhaging money the way you are and you will not have a choice.
33:14I am surprised how you've managed the stress.
33:21Health issues.
33:23Family bereavements.
33:26With Kim's offer the way it is, think about how much easier your life could be.
33:32This is my home.
33:37And yes, life is hard right now but that doesn't mean I should just give it all up.
33:42You wouldn't have to.
33:44Kim is offering to lease it back to you.
33:46At a fair price, obviously.
33:48You would be kept on as a tenant farmer.
33:51Without all the hassles of ownership.
33:55It's worth considering, don't you think?
33:57You can dangle the carrot in front of me but that doesn't mean I'll bite.
34:03Okay.
34:05Kim is throwing you a lifeline.
34:07If I were you, I'd grab it.
34:11With both hands.
34:12I can't tell you how happy I am right now.
34:31Why don't you take me upstairs and show me?
34:33Oh, I'm due at the pub though, aren't I?
34:37Plus, can't really risk it.
34:39It's a stick of chain in the door.
34:41No, not the kids.
34:43I can't risk conceiving, can I?
34:45Embryo transfer might happen next week.
34:48That soon?
34:50Well, the sooner the better then we can get our lives back on track.
34:52Sex life included.
34:54Well, in which case, I am counting down the tears.
35:00Hey.
35:03You never guess what just happened.
35:06Neither will you but go on, you go first.
35:08Jacob asked me to marry him when I said yeah.
35:11Marry?
35:13As in actual marry.
35:15We haven't set a date or anything.
35:17Oh, obviously.
35:18Obviously.
35:19I haven't even got a ring yet but yeah, it's all happening.
35:21Sorry, aren't you supposed to ask permission first?
35:24Well, Gran, we're not in the olden days anymore.
35:26I would if I'd planned.
35:28I don't know, it all just kind of happened on the spur of the moment.
35:30Look guys, if this is about the baby, you don't have to rush into anything.
35:33No, we're not.
35:35I love Sarah.
35:37I want to be with her, whether we have a kid or not.
35:40It means it, Gran, this is about us.
35:43Well, you better take good care of her or you'll have me to once too.
35:47Me too.
35:48And Cain.
35:49I will.
35:51I promise.
35:52And in that case, I'm made up for both of you.
35:55Yeah.
35:56Congratulations.
35:58Looks like all your dreams are coming true today, cause guess what?
36:02Matt's fully on board with his surrogacy.
36:04He's gonna support us.
36:06Serious?
36:07That's amazing.
36:09Yeah.
36:11It was either that or divorce.
36:12So.
36:14No brainer, really.
36:15Yeah, this means the world.
36:23Steve?
36:26Yeah, you don't know me.
36:28My name's Robert.
36:29I was a friend of your brother's.
36:30Yeah, I found you on his socials.
36:35I heard what happened.
36:37Wanted to offer my condolences.
36:42Yeah, er, well there is something else.
36:44It's nothing bad, but I was hoping we could meet up.
36:47I'll call you back.
36:51Who are you talking to?
36:53It's er, Ross.
36:54Wants to hand up at Butler's.
36:55Oh, well I was hoping we could pop up to Gransfield.
36:58Scout out a place for Harry's wigwam.
37:00Yeah, maybe tomorrow.
37:02Oh.
37:03Suit yourself.
37:04It's me again.
37:05Sorry about that.
37:06Someone at the door.
37:08Hey.
37:09Any news on the truck?
37:10Yeah, the brake pads need changing.
37:11Our cane's ordered the parts, but we can't fit him till tomorrow.
37:12Oh, well.
37:14It's good news for us.
37:15Nothing to hurry back for.
37:17Unless you've got some more stuff you wanna burn.
37:20Yeah.
37:21Look, look, I'm sorry about that earlier.
37:22I know it's daft, setting fire to things.
37:23It's just symbolic, that's all.
37:24Needed to clear my head.
37:25Clearing your head of what exactly?
37:26Well, everything we've been through.
37:27Anthony.
37:28Robert rocking up now all this stuff we'd need.
37:29I know.
37:30I know.
37:31I know.
37:32I know.
37:33I know.
37:34I know.
37:35I know.
37:36I know.
37:37I know.
37:38I know.
37:39I know.
37:40I know.
37:41I know.
37:42I know.
37:43I know.
37:44I know.
37:45I know.
37:46I know.
37:47I know.
37:48I know.
37:49I know.
37:50I know.
37:51Mate.
37:52We have not had a chance since the wedding.
37:54I wanna put all of that behind us and start this marriage properly.
37:57Okay.
37:58Well, when you put it like that, let's do it.
38:02I love you, you know.
38:04I love you too.
38:16Thanks for coming.
38:18Bit weird.
38:19Called him like that.
38:20How come you knew my brother?
38:21I...
38:22I didn't really, um...
38:23We went on a couple of dates.
38:25Dates?
38:26If you got me here cause you think I'm the same, forget it.
38:31No.
38:32No.
38:33No, no, no, no, no.
38:34That's not why I called.
38:35I don't think your brother killed Nate.
38:36Somebody was supposed to visit him the day before his body was found.
38:39And they said he wasn't home.
38:40But what if they got access to his flat and faked his confession?
38:41Why would they?
38:42Because they're Nate's real killer.
38:43And they're covering their tracks and blaming your brother for it.
38:44You knew Owen better than anyone else.
38:45Why would they?
38:46Do you really think he was capable of murder?
38:47It's done now.
38:48It's best left alone.
38:49If your brother wasn't a killer you can't have the world think him a fool.
38:50And he's kind of a fool.
38:51Right.
38:52I understand.
38:53And I was huh.
38:54I understand what's wrong.
38:55If your brother didn't kill it.
38:56If your brother wasn't.
38:57Right.
38:58If your brother wasn't a killer you can't have the world think he could.
38:59They'd be dead the same thing.
39:00We didn't have the same killer.
39:01Of course.
39:02Somebody was supposed to visit him.
39:03The day before his body was found.
39:04And they said he wasn't home.
39:05But what if they got access to his flat and faked his confession?
39:07Why would they?
39:08Because they're Nate's real killer.
39:09And they're covering their tracks and blaming your brother for it.
39:13You knew Owen better than anyone else.
39:16It's best left alone.
39:17If your brother wasn't a killer, you can't have the world thinking he was.
39:20I can't get involved either.
39:22The day the police said this mate bloke was killed,
39:24me and O were doing a job up in Hull.
39:26So he's got an alibi?
39:28What kind of job was it?
39:31Not the kind the cops need to know about.
39:33Well, you can still talk to them.
39:34You can say that you were in Hull with him.
39:36You just leave the rest out.
39:38You have to, for your brother's sake.
39:40You have to clear his name.
39:41All right.
39:43You made your point.
39:44Wait, you've got my number, yeah?
39:48Let me know how it goes.
39:53You again?
39:55I've met toddlers better behave than you were in the surgery earlier.
39:59I'm sorry.
40:01My dad's anniversary in a couple of days.
40:03Two years since he passed.
40:06Not coping very well.
40:08Sorry to hear it.
40:10Nothing excuses rudeness, mind.
40:12Or causing offence.
40:14Perfect timing.
40:16Gran's just fetching a bottle of bubbly.
40:18I'm sorry.
40:19Had to nip home for something.
40:23Mum's engagement room.
40:25Jacob, it's gorgeous, but I can't take that.
40:27It's way too precious.
40:28She'd want you to have it.
40:30And so do I.
40:31Here, try it on.
40:32See?
40:33See?
40:34Fit's perfect.
40:36You rustled that off pretty quick.
40:44It was like it was.
40:46Oh, are you kidding?
40:47Oh, that's so sweet.
40:49What's that, Liz?
40:50You won't believe it.
40:51They're engaged.
40:52You're kidding me?
40:53When was this planned?
40:54It wasn't.
40:54And I asked her earlier.
40:57Oh, congratulations.
40:58I made up for you both.
40:59Oh, thank you.
41:00And Mac's given us his blessing as well.
41:03For the you-know-what.
41:04That's amazing.
41:05Oh, double whammy, eh?
41:07Don't know which to celebrate first.
41:08Engaged, you say?
41:10I'm delighted for the both of you.
41:12Yeah, me and all.
41:13I mean, get yourselves a prenup, mind.
41:15That's my advice.
41:16Oi, cynic.
41:18Right, who's going to toast the happy couple, alcohol-free?
41:20We all are, seeing as Jay's paying.
41:23What, for a bottle?
41:25You owe me an apology.
41:27They don't come cheap.
41:29Oh, Jay, you're so generous.
41:31Is Eric not joining us?
41:34Yeah, we haven't actually told him that we're engaged yet.
41:36Yeah, we're in no rush to either.
41:38I'm not after he blabbed to Mac.
41:39I mean, if he's against the surrogacy,
41:41then I doubt he'll be happy about it.
41:43Oh, you can't keep him in the dark.
41:45Not if you're telling other people.
41:47Right.
41:48Raise your glasses, everyone.
41:52To the happy couple.
41:54The happy couple?
41:55The happy couple!
41:56Thanks, Gran.
41:57For everything.
42:02Yeah, I'm not the bad guy anymore, so that's something.
42:05I hated falling out over this.
42:07I love Charity way too much to lose her.
42:09Ah, well, she knows that now.
42:11And supporting her through it and choosing to do that, I mean, it's a huge sacrifice.
42:16Well, I took her a gamble, that's all.
42:19But it's not worth risking my marriage over something that might not even happen.
42:22But you just agreed to it.
42:26Yeah, but look at what she's up against.
42:29Like, her age.
42:30The fact her last pregnancy was ectopic.
42:33I mean, chances are the embryo transfer won't even take.
42:36It's a bit harsh.
42:39No, Moira, it's not harsh, it's realistic.
42:44Anyway, have you heard back from the water company?
42:49Our appeal was refused.
42:52Oh, and they've upped the fine.
42:53Oh, this is all my fault.
42:54If I had secured the tank, then we wouldn't be in this mess.
42:59Well, there is one way out.
43:08Kim Tate.
43:09She wants butlers.
43:11Joe delivered it earlier.
43:13Acting as her envoy.
43:17Morda, you can't give this place up.
43:19This is your home.
43:20Well, I won't have to.
43:23Not if I stay on as tenant farmer.
43:26I mean, it'll still be hard work, but just without all the pressure.
43:29What does Kane say to all this?
43:31Well, he doesn't know yet.
43:33He's got enough going on with Nate, and I just need to pick my moment.
43:38I mean, it's tempting, I guess, but...
43:40You need to be sure.
43:43I'm running out of fight, Mackenzie.
43:46I mean, butlers takes everything from me, and...
43:49I need to be here for Kane and the boys, too.
43:51Especially now, after losing Nate.
43:56And now, it's fine, it's just that it's the last straw.
44:03And it breaks my heart to say it, but...
44:06Maybe it's time to let it go.
44:10Hey.
44:11Hey.
44:12Hey.
44:13Hey.
44:21Hey.
