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.

13:13from the water company
13:14Moira Dingle
13:15Noel McHughes
13:18I'm here about the appeal
13:19you lodged against your fine
13:20oh I was um
13:22expecting an email
13:24it's an important matter
13:26we like to be customer centric
13:28I thought it best to deliver the news
13:30in person
13:31well they better be good
13:32er
13:33alas not
13:34I'm sorry to inform you
13:36your appeal was turned down
13:37what
13:38how
13:39I mean
13:39we provided enough evidence surely
13:41the panel still felt
13:43you had a duty to keep your slurry store secure
13:46yes but the leak was an accident
13:48the results are the same
13:49unfortunately
13:50the environmental damage was rather severe
13:53several people fell ill
13:55a child was hospitalised
13:57yeah now we're paying through the nose for it
13:58it gets worse I'm afraid
14:00er
14:01you've been ordered to pay costs for the clean up
14:04plus legal fees
14:05what so I'm paying for my own prosecution
14:08it's nonsensical
14:09I know
14:10I don't make the rules
14:11but you're still in foursome
14:12look
14:14we can't afford the original fine
14:16never mind all this on top
14:17we don't expect payment immediately
14:19oh
14:19generous
14:20er
14:21we've set out a plan
14:22of increased monthly instalments
14:24er
14:25the first payment is due
14:26a fortnight today
14:28if it's late
14:29I'm afraid you will incur a penalty
14:32that pay this much

15:01now we're screwed

15:05I think I owe you an apology
15:09you shouldn't have found out about the surrogacy through my grandad
15:13no I'm really sorry
15:15well
15:17at least someone has the decency to tell me
15:20if you're not on board with it
15:21then it won't be happening
15:22Sarah doesn't want to come between you and Charity
15:25oh I think it's a bit late for that
15:29there's one thing after another in this place
15:34call it a quiet village
15:36sorry?
15:39police
15:39sniffing around again
15:40just seeing them
15:41asking Liam questions about that Owen Michaels fella
15:44is that the guy that killed Nate?
15:47allegedly
15:47apparently
15:49John called around his house
15:50the day before his body was discovered
15:52but said he didn't see anyone
15:53hey
15:56who knows
15:57why would he lie about that?
16:00well
16:01maybe I'm overthinking it but
16:02I'm just not sure I trust the bloke
16:04hey
16:06you alright?
16:08yep
16:08this is Kane's son
16:14you're talking about
16:15so whatever baseless theory you've got cooking up
16:18leave me out of it
16:19I've got enough for my plate
16:20you cheered up?
16:31have I?
16:33this morning outside the car
16:34feel like you had the weight of your world on your shoulders
16:36well
16:37a lot can happen in a day
16:38things are looking up
16:41thank you
16:44for caring though
16:45means a lot
16:46hey
16:56not disturbing you am I
16:58no hey I'm just reading this article
17:00woman in Wales
17:02carried her own daughter's kid
17:03at 55
17:04oh
17:05good for her
17:07well no good for me and all
17:08I'm six years younger
17:10so much to tell the naysayers anyway
17:12I er
17:14hear Mac's not too keen on the idea
17:16Sarah filled me in earlier
17:18he's upset
17:19I've handled it badly
17:20I should have discussed it with him first
17:23before
17:23cracking on with the tests
17:25oh charity
17:26no wonder he's upset
17:27I just assumed he'd be in favour of it
17:29it's not like me and him are trying for any more kids
17:32we've discussed all of that
17:33you're offering to be Sarah's surrogate
17:35that's still massive
17:36but he knows how much this means to Sarah
17:39and to me
17:40and it's nine months of our lives
17:41it's not a lot to sacrifice
17:44but it is to him
17:45look if he's not behind this
17:48you could end up apart
17:49no I know
17:50and that's not what I want
17:51Vanessa I love him
17:52I just wish you could get on board with it
17:55does it have to be you
17:57maybe someone else could be a surrogate
17:59what's some stranger off the internet
18:01that we can't even trust
18:02what about an agency
18:04we've tried them all
18:05whenever they hear that she's got fanconia anemia
18:08they just
18:08they won't touch her
18:09it makes total sense for it to be me
18:11but unfortunately not to Mark
18:41so this helpline thing
19:07shh
19:07is that why you blew me out yesterday
19:11right a bit
19:12why didn't you just tell me
19:13because it's confidential
19:15if people find out it's somebody local
19:17might put them off getting in touch
19:18you don't have to be secretive with your best mate
19:20I was worried you'd make a fuss
19:23like
19:24when you asked me if I was up to it earlier
19:26it's like you don't trust me
19:27I'm just concerned that's all
19:29you've got enough problems of your own
19:31never mind other people's
19:32well I like helping people
19:33makes me feel
19:34useful
19:35look
19:36I hope there's some mints in there
19:38I had to have bought a mission halfway through a lasagna
19:40I'm sorry it's late
19:41some hatchet man turned up from the water company
19:44telling us that they turned down an appeal
19:46and we've been hit with some extra charges
19:48how much is that going to cost?
19:50more than I've got
19:51I know that much
19:51I'll have to put my prices up again
19:54I think we're paying over the odds as it is
19:57what else can I do?
19:59my back's up against the wall Marlon
20:01sorry
20:02Kim
20:10it's me
20:11I've just seen Moira
20:13I think now might be the perfect time
20:16to offer her a helping hand
20:17I think now we're going to be the perfect time
20:47right
20:48so
20:49with all kinds of things
20:50and then just
20:51the way
20:51I may not say
20:52I may be the perfect time
20:53to offer even the perfect time
20:53ever
21:14I don't know
21:16What are you doing?
21:46I, 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?
21:56Just having a clear out.
21:59The medical stuff?
22:03Yes.
22:04It's out of date.
22:05I need to get rid of it.
22:06Should you not be doing that at the surgery?
22:09I was burning stuff anyway, so I thought I'd dispose of it here.
22:12It's not like you.
22:13You usually do everything by the book.
22:16Well, look, we're off camping later.
22:17It's better this than spending the whole day filling in forms.
22:20As long as you're not gonna get in any trouble.
22:22Well, I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
22:25Whatever.
22:26Look, the more I get done now, the more time I'll have to focus on us.
22:31And that is all I want.
22:32Just me and you.
22:34And some peace for once.
22:36I'll leave you two of them.
22:43How's the Crispin Pickle Sandwich?
22:50Do you know what? You got it perfect this time.
22:52Just the right combination.
22:53Weirdo.
22:54Who even eats that?
22:56Probably only me.
22:58Thanks for being so thoughtful.
23:00You're welcome.
23:02Glad it's cheered you up.
23:03Definitely done that.
23:04Going towards effort just for me.
23:06I'm really lucky to have you.
23:08It'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.
23:15And now being a part of this crazy baby plan, I don't know where I'd be without you.
23:20I 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.
23:27It'd still be us.
23:29Look, 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.
23:46Well, we 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.
24:01I'm head over heels.
24:04Well, what are you doing?
24:10I'm sorry, was that wrong of me?
24:12Look, Jacob, I'm sorry.
24:13I can't do this again.
24:22Let 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.
24:40Look, I said the deal's off, and no amount of threats are going to change that.
24:43You thought yesterday was a threat?
24:45Well, it can get a whole lot worse than that, believe me.
24:47Yeah, what are you going to do, eh?
24:49Rough me up?
24:50I'd like to see you try.
24:52Why don't you do the honours?
24:53Guys, go on, hospitalise me. I'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 than you.
25:06Well, Kim's a big fish.
25:08When did you get your priorities straight?
25:09What's Kim got to do with it?
25:11Nothing.
25:12She doesn't know.
25:16Interesting.
25:16What 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.
25:24Who's Kyle are you in?
25:26It better not have been mine.
25:27Robert, you're not even insured.
25:29Robert!
25:31Sarah.
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.
25:52I do love you.
25:55I never stopped.
25:58I never stopped loving you, either.
25:59Look, I know I got with Cammie after you ended things, and 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, you backtracked and said we were mates.
26:14Because I was scared, Jacob.
26:17And I still am, that you're going to 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.
26:25But 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.
26:35I promise.
26:38I love you.
26:41I love you, too.
26:42I mean, this is me all over, isn't it?
26:51Settle down with the person I love and then blow it all up and ruin everything.
26:54You've got a form.
26:56I'll give you that.
26:58But this is different, though.
27:00You're not doing it for you.
27:01You're doing it for Sarah.
27:02Yeah.
27:09Back.
27:10Well, I do still live here.
27:13Unless you turned upstairs into a nursery already.
27:15Right, I'd better skip off, then.
27:16Oh, no, no, no, no.
27:17Please, please don't.
27:18Please don't leave on my accord.
27:21Because I'm sure surrogacy's been the hot topic of conversation anyway.
27:24So, get to it.
27:25No, no, no, no.
27:26We're just having a catch-up.
27:28That's all.
27:28Nothing important.
27:30OK.
27:30I'll see you around.
27:31Oh, she's a good liar, isn't she?
27:43Fine.
27:43OK, we were discussing it.
27:46She was actually reminding me that my marriage is at stake.
27:48Not that I need reminding, because it's all I've thought about since you've left.
27:51Well, you don't think that I haven't?
27:52I hated being apart from you yesterday.
27:54You 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.
28:02Well, go on, then.
28:03Voice it.
28:05We can skip the health risks, because we've done that one.
28:08You hurt me, Charity.
28:12You 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,
28:22save the difficult conversations till we knew.
28:25Charity, 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.
28:33You've already got kids, but I will never have that opportunity with Reuben.
28:38Babe, listen, wait.
28:40What about Moses?
28:41He sees you as a dad.
28:45Look, I know you're hurting that you've lost Reuben,
28:49but me getting pregnant wasn't even on my radar before Sarah's historectomy.
28:53It wasn't even on yours.
28:55She is the only reason I'm doing this.
28:57And 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.
29:08But I can't do this without you.
29:13I need your blessing.
29:19Yeah.
29:20I don't want to lose you either.
29:25And I know how difficult this is.
29:26So, if...
29:28If you being Sarah's surrogate is what you want to do,
29:33then I will support you all the way.
29:41So, are we keeping us between us
29:43or telling people that we're a couple of them?
29:44We're in love.
29:45I want to shout it from the rooftops.
29:47So we do.
29:49You don't want to tell people?
29:50No, I'm happy to.
29:51We'll only ask questions,
29:52so we may as well be up front.
29:54So, is it official then?
29:56We're boyfriend and girlfriend?
29:59Unless we take it a step further
30:00and made it properly official.
30:02How do you mean?
30:05I know this is quick.
30:08And it might seem crazy,
30:09but I want you to know I'm committed to this.
30:13Whoa.
30:13What are you doing?
30:14I haven't got a ring
30:16or a speech
30:18or anything I'm supposed to do right now.
30:20All I know is how much I love you.
30:23And I don't care
30:24what's round the corner
30:25every single day.
30:27We've got life,
30:28whatever life throws at us.
30:30I want us to spend together.
30:33Sarah subbed in.
30:36Will you marry me?
30:37Are you serious?
30:38Why else would I have been out here?
30:40You idiot.
30:41Yes, of course I'll marry you.
30:44It's open.
30:56Ah.
30:57Apologies for the intrusion.
30:59I was hoping for a quiet word.
31:02Well, I'm busy,
31:03so you're out of luck.
31:04You could hear me out,
31:05at least.
31:08I, er,
31:09overheard your conversation
31:10in the wall pack,
31:11discussing your predicament
31:13with the water company.
31:15So you're here to gloat?
31:16I'm here as Kim's envoy.
31:19I explain your situation.
31:20Local farmer,
31:21struggling to survive,
31:23and she wants to help.
31:25Help?
31:27Help how exactly?
31:29She wants to buy your farm.
31:30Kim buying butlers.
31:56Surprising, I know.
31:57But this is a serious proposal.
32:00It's not that surprising.
32:02She's tried this before.
32:04Caleb destroying my business
32:06so that she could snap up my land cheap.
32:08Yeah, she told me about that.
32:10But you were both duped back then.
32:13This offer is genuine.
32:16Kim's currently on her way to Dubai.
32:18She's left me in charge
32:19to draw up this contract.
32:20It's a fair price.
32:36And, er,
32:36what's the plan?
32:38You're going to turn it into
32:39sprawling new housing development.
32:42Well, that's what I'd do.
32:43No, Kim,
32:44she's adamant that she wants to
32:45protect the place.
32:47This is a dying industry.
32:51It is.
32:53Little farms like yours
32:54are going under
32:55every single day.
32:58Kim, she wants to step in
32:59and she wants to
33:00make sure that you're not
33:02muscled out by some
33:03big corporate developer.
33:06And you think I'm going to
33:07let that happen?
33:08Keep hemorrhaging money
33:10the way you are
33:10and you will not have a choice.
33:11I am
33:15surprised
33:16how you've managed
33:18the stress.
33:21Health issues.
33:23Family
33:24bereavements.
33:26With Kim's offer
33:27the way it is,
33:29think about how much
33:30easier your life could be.
33:35This is my home.
33:37And yes,
33:39life is hard right now
33:40but that doesn't mean
33:41I should just give it all up.
33:42You wouldn't have to.
33:44Kim is offering
33:44to lease it back to you.
33:46At a fair price,
33:47obviously.
33:48You would be kept on
33:49as a tenant farmer
33:50without all the
33:52hassles of
33:53ownership.
33:55It's worth considering,
33:57don't you think?
33:59You can dangle the carrot
34:00in front of me
34:01but that doesn't mean
34:02I'll bite.
34:03Okay.
34:05Kim is throwing you
34:06a lifeline.
34:07If I were you,
34:09I'd grab it.
34:10with both hands.
34:28I can't tell you
34:29how happy I am right now.
34:32Why don't you
34:33take me upstairs
34:33and show me?
34:34Oh, I'm due at the pub
34:36though, aren't I?
34:37Plus, can't really
34:38risk it.
34:38It's a stick
34:40a chain in the door.
34:41No, not the kids.
34:43I can't risk
34:44conceiving, can I?
34:45Embryo transfer
34:46might happen next week.
34:48That soon?
34:49Well, the sooner
34:50the better
34:50then we can get
34:51our lives back on track.
34:52Sex life included.
34:55Well, in which case
34:56I am counting
34:56down the days.
35:00Hey.
35:00You never guess
35:04what just happened.
35:05Neither will you
35:06but go on,
35:07you go first.
35:08Jacob asked me
35:09to marry him
35:09and I said yeah.
35:11Marry?
35:13As in actual
35:14marry?
35:14We haven't set a date
35:16or anything.
35:16Oh, obviously.
35:17Obviously.
35:18I haven't even
35:19got a ring yet
35:20but yeah,
35:20it's all happening.
35:21Sorry,
35:22aren't you supposed
35:22to ask permission
35:23first?
35:24Well, Gran,
35:24we're not in the
35:24olden days anymore.
35:25I would if I'd
35:26planned.
35:27I don't know,
35:28it all just kind of
35:28happened on the
35:29spur of the moment.
35:30Look, guys,
35:30if this is about
35:31the baby,
35:32you don't have to
35:32rush into anything.
35:33No, we're not.
35:35I love Sarah
35:36and I want to be
35:37with her
35:38whether we have
35:38a kid or not.
35:40It means it, Gran,
35:41this is about us.
35:43Well, you better
35:44take good care of her
35:45or you'll have
35:45me to answer two.
35:47Me too.
35:48And Cain.
35:49I will.
35:50I promise.
35:52Well, in that case
35:53I'm made up for
35:53both of you.
35:54Yeah.
35:56Congratulations.
35:58Looks like all
35:59your dreams
35:59are coming true
36:00today because
36:00guess what?
36:02Matt's fully
36:03on board with
36:03his surrogacy.
36:04He's going to
36:04support us.
36:05Serious?
36:07That's amazing.
36:09Yeah.
36:10It was either
36:11that or divorce.
36:12So,
36:13no brainer,
36:14really.
36:15Yeah, this
36:15means the world.
36:23Steve?
36:25Yeah, you don't
36:26know me.
36:28My name's Robert.
36:29I was a friend
36:29of your brother's.
36:33Yeah, I found you on his
36:34socials.
36:35I heard what happened.
36:37Wanted to offer
36:37my condolences.
36:42Yeah, well,
36:43there is something else.
36:44It's nothing bad.
36:45But I was hoping
36:46we could meet up.
36:47I'll call you back.
36:48Who are you talking to?
36:52It's, er,
36:53Ross.
36:53Wants a hand up
36:54at Butler's.
36:55Oh, well,
36:55I was hoping
36:56we could pop up
36:56to Gransfield.
36:58Scout out a place
36:59for Harry's wigwam.
37:00Yeah, maybe tomorrow.
37:02Oh.
37:02Suit yourself.
37:03It's me again.
37:14Sorry about that.
37:14Someone at the door.
37:17Hey,
37:18any news on the truck?
37:19Yeah,
37:20the brake pads
37:20need changing.
37:21Our cane's ordered
37:22the parts,
37:22but we can't fit him
37:23till tomorrow.
37:23Oh, well,
37:24it's good news for us.
37:26Nothing to hurry back for.
37:29Unless you've got
37:29some more stuff
37:30you want to burn.
37:33Yeah,
37:34look,
37:34I'm sorry about that
37:36earlier.
37:37I know it's daft
37:38setting fire to things.
37:40It's just
37:40symbolic,
37:41that's all.
37:42Needed to clear my head.
37:44Clearing your head
37:44of what, exactly?
37:46Well,
37:46everything we've been through.
37:48Anthony,
37:49Robert rocking up
37:50now all this stuff
37:50with Nate.
37:52We have not had a chance
37:53since the wedding.
37:54I want to put all of that
37:55behind us
37:55and start this marriage
37:56properly.
37:58Okay,
37:59well,
37:59when you put it like that,
38:01let's do it.
38:02I love you,
38:03you know.
38:05I love you too.
38:16Thanks for coming.
38:18Bit weird.
38:19Call him like that.
38:23How come you knew my brother?
38:30I didn't really,
38:31um,
38:32we went on a couple of dates.
38:36Dates?
38:37If you got me here
38:38because you think I'm the same,
38:40forget it.
38:40No, no, no, no,
38:41that's not why I called.
38:46I don't think your brother
38:47killed Nate.
38:47Somebody was supposed to visit him
38:50the day before his body was found
38:52and they said he wasn't home.
38:55But what if they got access to his flat
38:57and faked his confession?
39:00Why would they?
39:02Because they're Nate's real killer
39:03and they're covering their tracks
39:05and blaming your brother for it.
39:06You knew Owen better than anyone else.
39:12Do you really think he was capable of murder?
39:14It's done now.
39:16It's best left alone.
39:17If your brother wasn't a killer,
39:18you can't have the world thinking he was.
39:20I can't get involved either.
39:22The day the police said this
39:23Nate 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.
39:45You've got my number, yeah?
39:48Let me know how it goes.
39:53You again?
39:54I've met toddlers better behaved
39:56than you were in the surgery earlier.
39:59I'm sorry.
40:00My 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.
40:15Perfect 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.
40:24I don't know if I can take it in the present 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.
40:38See?
40:39Fit's perfect.
40:41You rustled that off pretty quick.
40:44It was Layla's.
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.
40:52Are you kidding me?
40:53When was this planned?
40:54It wasn't.
40:55And I asked her earlier.
40:57Oh, congratulations.
40:58I'm 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.
41:22Seeing as Jay's paying.
41:23But for a bottle?
41:25You owe me an apology.
41:27They don't come cheap.
41:29Oh, Jay, you're so generous.
41:32Is 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 half three blood 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?
41:54The happy couple!
41:56Thanks, Gran.
41:57For everything.
42:01Yeah, I'm not the bad guy anymore,
42:04so 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,
42:13I 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
42:21over something that might not even happen.
42:23But you just agreed to it?
42:26Yeah, but look at what she's up against.
42:29Like, her age, the fact her last pregnancy was ectopic.
42:33I mean, chances are the embryo transfer won't even take.
42:37It's a bit harsh.
42:38No, Moira, it's not harsh, it's realistic.
42:44Anyway, have you heard back from the water company?
42:47A repeal was refused.
42:52Oh, and they've upped the fine.
42:53Oh, this is all my fault.
42:55If I had secured the tank,
42:58then 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.
43:17Moira, 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,
43:27but 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,
43:35and I just need to pick my moment.
43:38I mean, it's tempting, I guess,
43:40but you need to be sure.
43:43I'm running out of fight, Mackenzie.
43:46I mean, butlers takes everything from me,
43:48and I need to be here for Kane and the boys too,
43:51especially now after losing Nate.
43:56And now, it's fine.
43:58It's just that it's the last straw.
43:59And it breaks my heart to say it,
44:05but maybe it's time to let it go.
44:10Hey.
44:11Hey.
44:12Hey.
44:13Hey.
