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