00:27This call is from a person currently in
00:29prison in England. All calls are logged and recorded and may be listened to by a member
00:35of prison staff. If you do not wish to accept this call, please hang up now.
00:42Hey. How you doing? I know I'm seeing you later, but I just needed to hear your voice.
00:51Is everything all right? Yeah, yeah. You? Yeah. Are you with the boys?
00:59No, I'm taking them to school in a bit. You still managing all right?
01:04Um, yeah. Fine. Not bad.
01:11Matt, I just wanted to tell you that I love you.
01:16I love you too.
01:18And Cain, thanks for keeping everything together.
01:21I don't know. I don't know what I'd do if it wasn't for you.
01:42You questioning your life choices?
01:47Yeah. Wishing I'd done the other eye whilst I had the chance.
01:50Hmm. It's a good thing you've managed to keep your sense of humour. Just not your farm.
01:59If you think we're just going to sign it over to you, then you're thicker than you look.
02:04You practically handed it to me yesterday.
02:08What's he doing?
02:09Leave him.
02:11Hmm.
02:12Technically, I own 50% of all...
02:14No, me, me, me, me, me, me. Grow up.
02:18Draw up the contracts or I will call the police.
02:26Sorry, police?
02:29Did you want something?
02:33These invoices still need sorting.
02:37So, are you going to tell me what that was about?
02:42He set me up.
02:43How do you mean?
02:45Caught me on camera, nicking his car.
02:50And then Dawn saw me giving him a hiding, so...
02:54He reckons he'll go to the police if we don't sign over Moira's share to him.
02:59He's got enough to put me away.
03:01Right, look, you need to talk to Moira.
03:02And tell her what?
03:03The truth.
03:04Look, I'm sick of having this conversation.
03:06Yes, and so am I, but...
03:08Look, I know you're trying to protect her, but what use are you to her if you're in prison?
03:13Seriously, Grumpy, we can't go on like this.
03:16This secret is getting harder and harder to keep for both of us.
03:23I've worked my fair share of nights in my day.
03:26Mate, you'd think a boutique B&B would attract a classier clientele.
03:32Well, if I spent one night, elbow deep, up a U-bend, I've spent a thousand.
03:37You won't believe what some people flush down the loo.
03:39This one lady, she tried to flush a full 16-inch.
03:45What?
03:47Sorry, was I boring you?
03:48Sorry, Bob.
03:49I was listening.
03:50I'm just knackered.
03:51Yeah.
03:52Maybe get more conversation over here.
03:55And again, maybe not.
04:00So, what time did you get home from your shift?
04:02I didn't hear you come in.
04:04About six.
04:05Same again tonight.
04:06My body clock's all over the place.
04:09I'm sure it'll be worth all the hard work in the end.
04:16Look, Jacob, I hate falling out with you.
04:18I'm not exactly enjoying myself.
04:22Hey, just a tea, please.
04:24Look, whatever it is Cain's got you involved in,
04:26you either tell me now or there's no point talking.
04:29It will make sense, I promise, but...
04:32But right now, I can't.
04:35Right, well, you've made your choice.
04:38I'm not even going to waste my breath anymore.
04:45Sarah, what's up?
04:46Hey.
04:47We're just having a few problems right now.
04:49Yeah, and I can guess who's causing that.
04:51Bob, can I get two teas, please?
04:54Of course, my lab.
04:55Why don't you sit down?
04:56Come on.
04:59Okay, just tell me everything.
05:28This is actually unbelievable.
05:30Oh, what an idiot.
05:31Are you happy with yourself?
05:33Talking to me?
05:34Yeah.
05:35But you're trying to throw your entire life away.
05:39I told her about Joe.
05:40That farm is Moira's life.
05:43You don't think I know that?
05:45And you're clearly not satisfied just causing trouble for Sarah and Jacob,
05:48so you thought, oh, let me blow up my own life.
05:50I just need to back off.
05:52No, Cain, you need to listen to me.
05:54Seriously, what is this?
05:55What is going on with you?
05:56Is it you or is it Moira?
05:58Is it something else?
06:00I can't do this now.
06:09Right, first off, it's good that you came here straight away.
06:12That is the right thing to do.
06:14Obviously, things like this can be very unnerving.
06:17So what is it?
06:18Is it getting worse?
06:19The tests show that the blood in your urine is from a urinary tract infection.
06:25So it's not the cancer?
06:26No.
06:28But having prostate cancer means you are going to be more susceptible to UTIs in the future.
06:34Okay, so this could be a regular thing?
06:36Maybe, maybe not.
06:38It's different for every person.
06:39But good news is, it can easily be cleared up with a dose of antibiotics.
06:47Sergeant Mallette, how are you doing?
06:53I'm pretty much making a mess of everything.
06:57It's not just affecting me.
06:58I mean, keeping this secret is just causing Sarah so much grief.
07:07Maybe it's time to start telling people.
07:11You can't keep the secret forever.
07:14Once it's out there, it might help people to understand how you've been recently.
07:21Well, once it's out there, people are going to look at me and all they're going to see is cancer.
07:27Well, I disagree.
07:29I think people are going to see a human being that's going through a really difficult time.
07:35You don't need to be afraid of sympathy.
07:37I'm not afraid.
07:38Good.
07:40Nothing's stopping you, then.
07:42You know, it's times like this when life is as real as it gets.
07:49That's when you realise how much you're really loved.
08:02How's this got a part in the school play?
08:05It's actually going to sit down and learn lines.
08:08And good luck with that.
08:10Teachers aren't daft.
08:12Playing the planet Ma, so...
08:14It's just going to stand there looking red by the way it's going up.
08:16You think it was Al Pacino.
08:18Yeah, I can imagine.
08:20Oh, well, we've got to give it to him.
08:24It's a step up from the broccoli he played in that nativity.
08:29Gold, frankincense and broccoli.
08:30I mean, even Jesus didn't see that all coming.
08:33Oh, it's so funny.
08:36That school loved to shoehorn in a healthy eating message wherever they can.
08:42Just gutted I won't get to see him in his starry role.
08:47Well, you never know.
08:49Things aren't really going my way, Cain.
08:53Doesn't look like I'm going to get out of here any time soon.
09:01I need to tell you something.
09:05I'm really sorry.
09:08Why?
09:10Cain, what is it?
09:14Um...
09:15Do you know when I said the cancer wasn't anything to worry about?
09:18Yeah, and how it wasn't going to grow or you needed any treatment or anything.
09:23It wasn't exactly right.
09:27What do you mean?
09:30Are you okay?
09:33I can't say, um...
09:36It's worse than I said.
09:39Much worse.
09:59I don't understand.
10:01I thought they were monitoring it.
10:04They are.
10:06So how is it suddenly so serious?
10:09And what does grade group four even mean, exactly?
10:15It means it's aggressive.
10:16And it'll spread if it's not treated soon.
10:21Well, when did you find out?
10:24When I got my results.
10:27Cain, that was over a month ago.
10:29You've known all this time.
10:30I wanted to tell you, but you'd just been charged and you weren't dealing well with it in here.
10:38And I thought that I could fight it, that I could beat it, and that you wouldn't have to know
10:43until you got out.
10:44But it just hasn't worked out like I thought it would.
10:50So you have proper, full-blown prostate cancer?
10:58Are you going to be okay?
11:01I don't know.
11:04Cain, I'm so sorry.
11:07Give me...
11:10I love you.
11:11I love you so much.
11:13I can't be there for you.
11:15There's nothing I can do.
11:16Hey, no huggings.
11:18Please.
11:19I won't tell you again.
11:21You both need to sit down.
11:22All right, but she's just had some bad news.
11:24Sit down.
11:25Sit down.
11:31Do that again, and he's out.
11:33Understood?
11:42So what have they said?
11:45Do you have a treatment plan?
11:52They'll want to operate in about a month.
11:56What will that do?
11:59They'll remove my prostate and hopefully they'll have to take the cancer with it.
12:06Well, you need chemo?
12:07That may be radiotherapy.
12:10But they're hoping the surgery will be enough.
12:14After that, I mean, you're going to be all right, aren't you?
12:17I mean, it's grade group four, but you're still going to survive this, right?
12:21They reckon my chances are good.
12:22You're not just saying that so that I don't worry.
12:24No, no, I'm just sorry that I've had to tell you like this.
12:27Of course you've had to tell me.
12:28Yeah, but I know what it's like being in these places, feeling helpless as life just carries on without you.
12:34You never need to protect me from the truth, not for something so important.
12:38Come on, do you hear me?
12:45So, who knows?
12:46And please tell me you haven't been going through all of this on your own.
12:51Liam and Sarah.
12:53Just them?
12:54Well, and now you.
12:58What about the boys?
13:04I know they need to know.
13:08I'm just not sure I can do this to them.
13:10Okay.
13:11Okay, there's no pressure.
13:13You know what Kyle was like after I got shot?
13:17I mean, he's just coming to terms with losing his mum.
13:23How can I tell him this?
13:25You used to have to be honest with him and reassure him that everything's going to be all right.
13:30Yeah.
13:31He thought that Amy was going to be all right.
13:33I just don't think he's going to buy it.
13:34But this is different.
13:36Because you will be all right.
13:38And we need to keep positive.
13:46What if I'm not?
13:50What if I'm...
13:53What if this gets me?
13:55And you're still in here?
13:57What happens to the boys then?
13:59We have the best family that we could ever ask for.
14:03No matter what happens.
14:04Because the boys, they will be looked after.
14:07And we need to hold on to that.
14:11You know, some people say cancer is a fight.
14:14And it is.
14:17And this is going to be the hardest fight of your life.
14:22And from my experience,
14:24the biggest battle is what's going on in here, you know.
14:28Trying to stop overthinking things, don't it?
14:31Still, the waves of dread from completely overwhelming you.
14:38Yeah.
14:39I just want my brain to chew up.
14:45When I had my tumour,
14:47I was so terrified of all the things that might happen.
14:50Like, what is getting worse?
14:52What if the treatment doesn't work?
14:54What if it comes back?
15:01Mum seems a long time to wait for an operation.
15:03I just want it out.
15:05Well, the waiting is the worst part.
15:08You just have to try and focus on the things that you can do to help yourself.
15:12Like what?
15:14Keeping healthy.
15:15Eating and drinking all the right stuff.
15:18You've got Liam in the family, so use them.
15:20He's been doing his best to keep me distracted.
15:23Well, that's good.
15:25You know, there's only so much I can hear about the allotment and sweet potatoes
15:33before I actually imagined what it would be like running him over with a tractor.
15:44I'm sure I tried to have something to say about that.
15:48I know.
15:56What about the others?
16:00How do you feel about telling the family?
16:02They need to know at some point.
16:06But talking about it...
16:09Telling everyone just...
16:12Makes it more real.
16:15There's one thing your family know painfully well.
16:18It's cancer.
16:22But you'd be surprised how much I helped to talk about it.
16:26The last thing I want is pity.
16:28I don't want anybody to be looking at me differently.
16:31They're not going to pity you.
16:31They'll want to help.
16:32But I don't want to help.
16:33I don't want to keep going over the same conversation again and again.
16:36Yeah, okay.
16:37I get it.
16:38Then...
16:39Obviously, you need to tell the boys.
16:43And then maybe after that, you get Chas and Belle and Sam and Caleb together
16:49and ask them to spread the word.
16:53Okay.
16:56I wish you could be there.
16:58Oh, me too.
17:00Well...
17:03But Sarah will be.
17:06And Zach.
17:07And Faith.
17:09And you remember how strong they were when they were in your shoes.
17:13And they'll be right by your side the whole way.
17:20I keep thinking about, Mum.
17:26I know.
17:28How hard it was for her and how difficult I made it.
17:33But you got there in the end.
17:34That's what matters.
17:36Yeah, but I...
17:37I get why she decided to do things her own way now, you know.
17:43Me too.
17:46But Faith was terminal.
17:49I mean, your diagnosis isn't great.
17:52But there's hope.
17:54It's hard to see it sometimes.
17:56It's hard to see it sometimes.
17:59Okay.
18:00Yeah.
18:02Just try this, yeah?
18:07Imagine your dream future.
18:10What does it look like?
18:15It looks like you.
18:19And?
18:20And the boys.
18:22And what about them?
18:24What are we doing?
18:28They're...
18:29They're grown up.
18:32Maybe they've got a few kids of their own.
18:36And Sarah's there.
18:38She's strong and healthy.
18:42With her own little girl.
18:44And no doubt it's just as troublesome as she is.
18:49And you will be great grumpy.
18:53Surrounded by your family.
18:55And we're all together.
18:58Safe and happy.
18:59And...
19:01And...
19:01On the farm.
19:03Let's both hold up into that.
19:06It's a powerful image.
19:08And every day, every step that we take, it will get us there.
19:24I'm not sure how we will, though.
19:29There's something you need to know.
19:34Well, I...
19:36I started thinking, if the worst came to the worst,
19:41what would happen if I needed to support you and the boys?
19:45Okay.
19:48So I nicked a few cars.
19:50And did you get caught?
19:53Uh...
19:54Joe takes that trap for me and I kind of walked into it.
19:56Now he's got me over a barrel.
19:58And what does he want?
20:02The rest of the farm.
20:06And if we don't sign it over to him...
20:10Uh...
20:10He thinks he's got enough to get me put away.
20:14Can he?
20:16Maybe, yeah.
20:19God, Keane.
20:20What about the boys?
20:21I know, I know.
20:22I will sort this.
20:23Right, he's off his head.
20:25If he thinks I'm just gonna...
20:26And your share over.
20:28Mark my words.
20:29He will not get anything from us.
20:32Right, I will make sure of that.
20:34Don't start World War III.
20:36Your health is way more important than the farm.
20:38That's time, ladies and gentlemen.
20:40Oh, God, already?
20:43Listen.
20:44I know there's not much that I can do, but I am here.
20:46You keep going and seeing me, okay?
20:47We need to keep talking.
20:48I promise.
20:50And to talk to the family, that's what they're there for.
20:52Lean on them.
20:52Yeah, I'll try.
20:53I can't remember it.
20:55Asking for help doesn't make you weak.
20:57In fact, it takes an incredible amount of strength.
21:03I don't care what they say.
21:05I am hugging my husband.
21:12Oi.
21:13What have I told you?
21:15Tyrone, get the farm.
21:16Trust me.
21:17That's enough.
21:18You will beat this.
21:19I know you will.
21:20I love you.
21:20Get a mingle.
21:21You need to leave.
21:21I love you too.
21:26I love you too.
21:26I love you too.
21:34I love you too.
21:35I love you too.
21:35I love you too.
21:36I love you too.
21:36I love you too.
