00:00I've been
00:29trying to call you. Well, I didn't want to speak to you, hence the knock picking up.
00:33How scared you're going to have done something stupid? What, like tell the police that Moira's
00:37innocent? You know what happens if we do that. Joe doesn't make empty threats. He won't
00:41think twice about getting you sent down. And me. So we're just going to leave Moira to
00:45rot? She might be found not guilty. How, Robert? With the evidence that you've planted and the
00:52bodies found on her land? Well, Bear was enslaved and it wasn't by Moira. He'll say that. He'll
00:56tell them that she had nothing to do with it. But she was in business with Celia. So
01:00Bear might not have seen her, but that doesn't make her innocent. Not to the police. She's
01:04not getting out of this. Look, I hate this as much as you do. I, I, but we are where we
01:09are and we've got to live with it. You know what prison did to me? I won't let you end up
01:18the same way. Look, I know you're still mad at me for telling April. It's just it were
01:25too much for me to handle. You, I, I know how hard it is to deal with this. You think
01:29I like lying to Mandy? Every time I call her I have to pretend I'm alright because I don't
01:33want to put any of this on her. It's just what we have to do to protect the people that
01:37we love. So you telling April isn't doing her any favours at all. I'm sorry. Bit late for
01:42that. Bit late for that. Don't say anything. Paddy, Dylan. I was just on my way to check
01:48in on Bear. Well, you can't see him right now because he's asleep. Oh. Well, that's
01:53good. Listen, I know you turned down my offer to sort him out some counselling, but are you
02:00sure? Yeah, yeah, I'm sure. He doesn't need it. And you know what he's like about things
02:03like that. But he's never been in a situation like this before, has he? And it really does
02:08help to talk. Yeah, he is talking to me. We're getting there. Okay. Listen, if you change
02:14your mind, then I know a counsellor who specialises in this kind of trauma. Thank you. I appreciate
02:20it. And you've been brilliant, by the way. And I'll keep you up to date anyway. Bye.
02:25Yeah. Is it alright, April? He knows that you know. Please tell me you haven't told your
02:39dad. Not yet. Well, don't. I don't want anybody else to be dragged into this. Isn't it better
02:44if it's out there? People know what Ray did. He was evil. I'm worried about everybody.
02:49No one should have to pay for what that man did. But people already are paying. How is
02:58Bear ever going to get better if he can't have help? If we get him a counsellor, there's
03:03a good chance he might just crack and he'll tell them everything. I can't risk that. I'm
03:07doing this to keep everybody safe. Right? Just, please, let me handle things my way. But keeping
03:16a prisoner. It's not right. It's cruel. Prisoner? He's locked up in his own house and he's
03:22not allowed to see anyone or talk to anyone. What would you call it? Why did these chairs
03:35have to be so uncomfortable? You don't have to come with me. I can't do this on my own.
03:46Hey, I'm not leaving you. Hi. Right then, mate. You can run upstairs, get your tablets
04:03up and play that game, yeah? And I'll put pizza in the oven. Hey, Harry. I'm going to
04:08go upstairs. How was school? Yeah, he's good. Yeah? How come you got him? How's
04:15going? She had to go somewhere. Just asked me to pick him up. Where was she going? She
04:20didn't say and I didn't ask. Anyway, now you're here, you can take care of him. No, I'd
04:25love to, but I can't today. Oh, no, mate. I've got to get back home. You know, Mum
04:29calls us every night. She'll speak to us all. I just, I really need to hear her voice, you
04:32know? I've got to be somewhere. So have I. That's what I'm telling you. I'm really sorry, but you're
04:37going to need to stay with him. Hey, I'll, er, I'll see you later, little man. Bye.
04:44Pizza! Yay! I'm glad you came back in to discuss things further. I'm sure it was a struggle
04:57to take it all in the other day. It can be overwhelming. So, as I said, because the cancer
05:04hasn't spread outside the prostate gland, the recommended treatment for you is a radical
05:09prostatectomy. It means a complete removal with the aim to cure. It takes about two hours.
05:15We use keyhole surgery to remove the prostate, perhaps some of the surrounding tissue if we
05:21feel necessary, and the seminal vesicles, which are the glands that produce semen.
05:26Well, I don't want any more kids anyway. I've got enough of them. And grandkids. This
05:33one here, she's, er, she's got a baby on the way. So, er, yeah, I'm good for that, thanks.
05:39You know, Grandad told me about you. Sounds like you've been pretty strong from what he
05:43said. Yeah, well, you know where I get it from. I do want to go over the risks and side effects
05:51of the treatment. Erm, would you like your granddaughter present while we discuss them?
05:55You're not kicking me out.
05:58It's entirely up to you, Mr Dingle. She can stay.
06:02Very well. It's just that with the side effects, even in men who aren't sexually active, this
06:09treatment can change a man's sense of identity and masculinity. There's a clinic that you can
06:16go along to, erm, with other men in your situation. We call it surgery school, where
06:21you can discuss all of this. You'll initially be discharged with a catheter. And once that's
06:27been removed, you'll be given incontinence pads. They're a lot more discreet than they
06:32used to be. They're really nothing to be ashamed of. I can give you some leaflets that
06:36explain all of this. Yeah, yeah, whatever. I've also got a leaflet on erectile dysfunction.
06:41But we can discuss that another day. Er, I'll send on these notes to your GP to...
06:48No, he already knows, though. Oh, good. Well, as for surgery, unfortunately there is a bit
06:55of a waiting list, so we are looking at April to book you in. That's two months away.
07:01The doctor knows what she's doing. I'm really sorry, it can't be any sooner.
07:05It's okay. You don't need to worry. I've got this.
07:16We've got a problem. I think Vic's gone to the police.
07:20Of course she hasn't. I'm telling you, I know my sister.
07:23She's got this moral backbone that none of us can get her heads round.
07:27I'm telling you, we need to get down there now before she dumps us all in it.
07:37Oh, come on, Grumpy. Do you even want to talk about what Miss Rose said?
07:40No.
07:43Look, you know this is nothing to be embarrassed about.
07:45I've got a million jobs to do. Can you just leave me to get on?
07:48Incontinence isn't the end of the world.
07:51Grand does her pelvic floor exercises every time she makes a brew.
07:54I mean, she's had four kids and now I'm making her have another one.
07:57Half the time she can't even laugh without wetting herself.
07:59You can't tell her about this.
08:01Yeah, no, I'm not going to. I'm just saying that it's normal.
08:04And so is erectile disf...
08:05Don't even say it.
08:07Sorry.
08:08Look, I really meant it when I said I'd get my strength from you.
08:13No way could I have got through all my treatments without you.
08:18So please don't shut me out now.
08:20Or at least talk to someone else about it.
08:31Moira's being done for murder. We can't let that happen.
08:34I don't know what you expect me to do.
08:36The right thing for once. Don't be his puppet.
08:39That planted evidence makes her look guilty.
08:41Who says she isn't?
08:42Well, there are two bodies at her farm.
08:46Are you trying to tell me that she didn't know they were there?
08:49Yes.
08:50Well, that's not very convincing.
08:51I don't think the police are going to be convinced either.
08:53Oh, this is pointless.
08:54Why don't I just go and tell them everything?
08:56Well, that you killed John, yeah, go ahead.
08:57Stop goading her.
08:59I'm sure we can find a reasonable way through this.
09:02I kept her secret.
09:03A thank you wouldn't go amiss.
09:05No, you used it to blackmail Robert.
09:07He wasn't just trying to save your skin.
09:09He was trying to help himself too.
09:11How do you mean?
09:13Well, he only agreed to the deal if I agreed to pay for your share of Moira's and he got to stay on as a tenant farmer.
09:20No, that's not how it happened.
09:21It was blackmailing me so I had to go along with what he wanted.
09:24For you.
09:25All of this was to protect you.
09:27If I could get something out of it then why not take it?
09:30This is a chance to put all of this behind us.
09:33Just when I think you can't sink any lower.
09:35It's a fresh start for us. For the family legacy.
09:38All we have to do is sign and that's it. It's done.
09:41Vic!
09:42No, stay away from me.
09:43Vic!
09:44No, stay away from me.
09:45You've got to cover the class in my maths test.
09:51Dad, I got to have a class in my maths test.
10:12Oh, did you?
10:13Yeah, you won't stop talking about it.
10:15Can we go to the cafe for tea?
10:17Er, not tonight, mate.
10:19What's up?
10:21Nothing.
10:22You've got to look.
10:24When something bad happens.
10:26No, I haven't.
10:27Is it about Moira?
10:29Have you heard from the police?
10:31No.
10:32Well, tell us, you've got a right to know.
10:34Carl, can you stop talking about the police?
10:35Ken.
10:36You're scaring your brother.
10:37Sorry.
10:38I want to see Mum.
10:40Just go to your room, mate.
10:42No!
10:43Both of you.
10:44You can't punish us, we've not done anything wrong.
10:46Just do as you're told.
10:47I'll tell you what, I'll turn to the cafe.
10:48Yes, that'd be great.
10:53Alright.
10:54Thought maybe we could have a chat.
10:56Well, I'm busy.
11:05I can't get through to him.
11:10Leave it to me.
11:11I thought you'd gone home.
11:28Well, I wanted to clear my head.
11:30I get that.
11:31This is the last place Robert will look for me and I don't want to talk to him right now.
11:36I sometimes feel the same way about Joe.
11:38It's not always easy to like him.
11:40So why'd you come back for him?
11:42He's like a son to me.
11:43Well, if he was mine, I would have stayed dead.
11:45I don't condone Joe's behaviour.
11:46But he's not always like this and when he is, I just have to put up with it.
11:55I do try to be a positive influence.
11:58You're not doing a very good job.
12:00You have to accept what's happened and try not to think about it.
12:04This is normal for you, isn't it?
12:06Joe frames people and you just make excuses for him.
12:10I mean, I don't know why I'm surprised you faked your own death.
12:13I still can't get my head around you being here.
12:16It's like talking to a ghost.
12:17This family, you're insane.
12:19What's done is done.
12:22Just sell the farm and move on.
12:24That way you don't have to set foot on the land again.
12:27No more reminders.
12:28This village is a constant reminder.
12:31Of John and everything that he put us through.
12:34Of seeing Cain with the kids coming up without a mum.
12:37I don't think I can stand it.
12:39Then this might not be the place for you.
12:42You'll have money if you sell.
12:44Perhaps you should use it for a fresh start somewhere else.
12:53Thought you might want some company?
12:55No, but you can leave them beers.
12:57I'm afraid I can't let you drink these and drive a tractor.
13:00Go away, Liam.
13:01No, you're not getting rid of me that easily.
13:03Are you going to join me for a drink?
13:05What, out here?
13:06Well, why not?
13:08Well, because it's brass monkeys.
13:09Oh, you know me.
13:10I love the great outdoors.
13:11So you like freezing?
13:12I've got my long johns on.
13:13I'll be fine.
13:14Your funeral.
13:15Beautiful, isn't it?
13:16It's just a field.
13:17God's own country.
13:18Can't beat it.
13:20You know, I've drawn up the plans for next year's allotment.
13:21I was thinking about sweet potatoes branching out a bit.
13:23Do you like sweet potatoes?
13:24Never try them.
13:25Never try them.
13:26What, never?
13:27No.
13:28You've never tried a sweet potato?
13:29No.
13:30No.
13:31What, ever?
13:32You're not listening.
13:33I like a plain spud.
13:34All right.
13:35We can plant them as well.
13:36What is this we?
13:37What is this we?
13:38I haven't got time for the allotment.
13:39I've got time for the allotment.
13:40I've got time for the allotment.
13:41I can't beat it.
13:42You know, I've drawn up the plans for next year's allotment.
13:43I was thinking about sweet potatoes branching out a bit.
13:48Do you like sweet potatoes?
13:51Never try them.
13:52What, never?
13:53No.
13:54No.
13:55You've never tried a sweet potato?
13:56No.
13:57What, ever?
13:58You're not listening.
13:59I like a plain spud.
14:01All right.
14:02We can plant them as well.
14:04What is this we?
14:05I haven't got time for the allotment.
14:08Right.
14:09Right, of course.
14:10Well, I'll plant them for you.
14:12If you like.
14:16Have your hands gone numb?
14:17I work outdoors all year round.
14:20This is balmy for me, mate.
14:22I brought these back from yours, eh?
14:25They might have frostbite.
14:29You can go home if you want.
14:30No, no.
14:31Just got to, er, get the circulation going.
14:40You know, if you want to talk about anything...
14:42You're all right.
14:43All right.
14:44Okay.
14:46I'm here for you.
14:49Any time.
14:52You're a good friend.
14:53I know you find all that cringe, but...
14:58It's true. I mean it.
15:12There's no point trying to put pressure on her.
15:13It never works.
15:15Just give me some time and I'll talk around.
15:18Well, I'm not going to wait forever.
15:20You've got to the end of the day to sign those documents.
15:25Well, you can't just drag her back here and force her to sign.
15:27I wouldn't dream of it.
15:28She came up around pretty well.
15:30Well done.
15:32Well done.
15:33Finally someone I can rely on.
15:34Okay.
15:35So...
15:37If you could just...
15:38Dorb your ex on this here contract, I would be very happy.
15:46I'd love to punch you right now.
15:48I get that a lot.
15:50How does he sleep at night?
15:52Pretty well.
15:54It's just business.
15:56It's not like I killed anyone.
16:01Don't let him get to you.
16:02Just get this over with.
16:03That's right.
16:04Do as your brother says.
16:08Well, I need to read it first.
16:09Oh, come on!
16:11I could be signing away one of my kidneys for all I know.
16:14Okay.
16:16Fair enough.
16:18You've got to end of play tomorrow.
16:20Otherwise that video goes viral.
16:33I suppose I should thank you for talking Victoria back round.
16:37I shouldn't have had to.
16:39She shouldn't be in this position.
16:40Backmailing a vulnerable woman.
16:44Framing another for murder.
16:46Is this really who you are now?
16:49I suppose it is.
16:51You've learnt all this from Kim.
16:54Oh no.
16:56This is all me.
16:58Can't say I'm very impressed.
17:02I stopped trying to impress you the moment I thought you were dead.
17:07You left.
17:09I moved on with my life.
17:11If you want to be a part of it,
17:13get on board.
17:15I'm not changing for you.
17:16Or for anyone.
17:17I said I was in a room where you can see the room at the desk.
17:19How do I stay?
17:20It's real work.
17:21It's real work.
17:22What's up here?
17:23I'm not saying that.
17:33I'm not saying that.
17:34I'm not saying that.
17:36I'm not saying that.
17:37What are you listening to?
17:42You've not had your sandwich.
17:47Dad, we're all right, aren't we?
17:58I'm gonna help you through this.
18:03When can I get back to the farm?
18:06No.
18:11I told you.
18:13I'm not going back.
18:26You have to sign.
18:28There's no other choice.
18:30This works for you, doesn't it?
18:32Because then you get exactly what you want.
18:34None of this is what I want.
18:36Really?
18:37Running the farm and a big payout?
18:39No, of course not.
18:40I told you I did this for you.
18:42And Harry, making sure that you don't lose him.
18:44I have felt so guilty that you'd sold your soul to save me.
18:48And all this time it's just been about the farm.
18:50All right, yeah.
18:51I did take what Jo was offering because it meant that me and you could have a future here.
18:55Running that place together and have a bit of money in our pockets.
18:57While Moira rots in prison.
18:59It was either you or her and I chose you.
19:01No, you chose yourself more like.
19:03And you should have come and spoke to me first and I would have told you not to.
19:06Oh, don't give me that.
19:07I'm not buying that.
19:08That you'd rather us both be rotting in prison so that you could have a clear conscience.
19:11That's not what I'm saying.
19:13We both set fire to our lives.
19:15But yours would still be burning if I wasn't here.
19:18I saved you like I always do and you're never grateful.
19:20I never asked you to do this.
19:22Like I never asked you to kill Lee.
19:24Every time you try and help, you just make things worse.
19:28Well, it's done now.
19:30We've just got to make the best of it.
19:32And it really is that easy for you, isn't it?
19:36It is, yeah.
19:38I spent years in prison making the best of it.
19:41Because I made a choice trying to protect you back then.
19:44And here we are again, me protecting you and you despising me for it.
19:47I'm always going to choose you, Vic, but you never choose me.
19:51And I just wish this once, that you would.
20:01Is it past your bedtime?
20:03No.
20:04I've been, er...
20:06Stood in a field, freezing to death with your granddad.
20:10Had a hot bath, but, er...
20:13Still chilled to the bone.
20:15So, did he talk to you?
20:17Er...
20:18Not about his illness.
20:20And, er...
20:21I didn't want to push him.
20:23Thought he might have found it easier with you.
20:25Yeah.
20:26You know what he's like.
20:28You can't just bottle it all up, though.
20:31He can if he wants to.
20:35I just wish he'd told Moira.
20:38She's the only person that can ever get through to him.
20:41And Gran, too, sometimes.
20:46It must be so hard for you.
20:49Keeping this secret.
20:50You should be getting ready to be a mum, not...
20:55...worrying about your granddad.
20:57I can't help it, though.
20:59I just want him to be back to his old self.
21:01Oh, he will be.
21:02Eventually.
21:04Yeah, we don't know what effect this treatment's gonna have on him, though.
21:07He's always been this big, scary guy.
21:10Not to me, but to everyone else.
21:13What's it gonna be like if he doesn't view himself like that anymore?
21:17I mean, he's always gonna be scary.
21:21He's the one that's scared now.
21:26I hate seeing him like this.
21:28Look, he's the strongest man I know.
21:31He is gonna get through this.
21:34Yeah, we don't know what it'll do to him, though.
21:39What if he's never the same again?
21:40We need him.
22:10He just did it.
22:11It's gonna get through this...
22:13...and get through this.
22:16And you can catch up with him.
22:18I'll just be down for eight years...
22:20...and shut up.
22:21Just stop it.
22:23You're going to be here.
22:25I got one.
22:27I'm not going to be here.
22:29I'm not going to be okay.
22:30I'm not going to be okay.
22:32I'm not going to be okay.
22:34I'm not going to be okay.
22:36I'm not going to be okay.
