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

22:21Bye.
22:21Bye.
