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