00:32It's like waiting for a kid to be born.
00:34Or the hangman to arrive.
00:36No, no, no. We can't have TB in the herd and cancer. We can't. We can't, man.
00:41We already had one huge thing to deal with, and that's Cain.
00:44The TB is not happening. It's not.
00:48I'm waffling, aren't I?
00:51We can't be that unlucky.
00:52Well, your mum's also in prison, so, yeah. Yeah, we can.
00:57Look, I'll not drag this out.
00:59Oh, I hate my life.
01:00Give me the clear!
01:02I knew it. I knew it'd be fine. I knew it.
01:05You liar.
01:06What are you doing?
01:07Getting all those cancelled meat orders back.
01:10You know, it's a shame you're not my type.
01:12This could have been the start of a brilliant rom-com.
01:14Rom-con, in your case?
01:17I'll let you off.
01:18But only because you brought good news, and it was about time.
01:22Honestly, I have not prayed so hard in my life.
01:25Somebody better tell my sister that we are back in business.
01:28Yes, mate!
01:29You think I'm weak because of the cancer?
01:38Well, I'm not.
01:39And I'm going to go straight back to Kim and that little freak.
01:42And I'm going to ask them to choose which backside they want to shove their deal right up.
01:49Why are you not saying anything?
01:52Because your need to vent is greater than mine.
01:55I'd have preferred to tell you myself.
01:57You should have seen his face when he told me.
01:59I don't care about you.
02:01You can't sell up.
02:05After you told me about the cancer, I couldn't get a wink of sleep.
02:09But last night, I did.
02:13You were the last thing that I thought about before I went to sleep.
02:16And the first thing I thought about this morning when I woke up.
02:19But I didn't spend a single second thinking about the farm.
02:23So that tells me that I have done the right thing.
02:30I always thought it was just old men who got that.
02:34Kane's not exactly young, is he?
02:36What?
02:38Sorry.
02:40Ross, hello?
02:42No, sorry.
02:43Eric's out the back.
02:46There's no TB on the farm.
02:48Thank God for that.
02:50Okay, yeah, no, I'll go tell him now.
02:53Well, yeah, I don't see why we can't get our orders back on track straight away.
02:56Sorry.
02:57I need to get to work.
02:58I'll see you later.
03:02Listen, from now on, you leave Kane and Moira alone.
03:05I hear one more word that you've been hounding them to get your hands on that farm.
03:07I can assure you, we will not be asking Moira to sell up ever again.
03:12Good.
03:17Because she already made the deal with Kim last night.
03:21Place is already ours.
03:22Congratulations.
03:22Congratulations, you are now the new tenant farmer at Butler's.
03:26But Kane's got cancer.
03:28Oh, no, I heard.
03:29Yeah, he should really be focusing on his health now.
03:33No, no, no, no, I can't take the farm for you now.
03:36What am I going to tell Aaron and his family?
03:39We don't actually need you.
03:42We could start looking for a new farmer.
03:45Don't make any decisions that you will regret.
03:48The choice is yours.
03:53I should have sold up after the slurry spill, because when I walk out into that yard and I look
04:00at the view that I loved and it always put me right, I started to hate it.
04:07I've been stuck in here with time to think.
04:12The farm was sucking the life out of me, Kane.
04:15You know that.
04:18That's why I called Kim in.
04:23You told her about me.
04:26I had to.
04:28She nearly walked away.
04:29And she could have exploited it money-wise, but she didn't.
04:32Yeah, right.
04:33Kane, she honoured her original offer.
04:36I could have kissed her.
04:39I don't see it as losing.
04:42See it as escape.
04:48Sounds good.
04:49But it feels bad.
05:01More surprise?
05:03All right.
05:04Yeah, I'll do it.
05:04I'll take the tenancy.
05:05But only because I've got no other choice.
05:08Well, you've always got a choice.
05:10Well, the idea of you putting someone else in there, it got to me.
05:13It's my farm.
05:14Well, you see, it's not me blackmailing you that's making me do this.
05:18It is your own ambition, which is a good and rare thing.
05:21You have to let me tell Aaron and the family first.
05:23It has to come from me.
05:24Goes without saying.
05:27Well, just for the record, I hate you.
05:31If you and I both make loads of money, I will cope.
05:43Hey, I see your lad's still up at Jay's.
05:45Nothing wrong with your eyes, then.
05:47What were you doing up at Jay's?
05:48Oh, hi, Jay.
05:50Do you know she's been hanging around your place spying on you?
05:53Oh, as if.
05:54I'm always up at Eric's barn anyway, collecting his post, aren't I?
05:57I'll be there at three o'clock today,
05:59giving it a good bottoming with me feather duster.
06:05Hey.
06:05Hi.
06:06How's Arthur doing?
06:07Yeah, good.
06:09I, er...
06:10It's nice to spend some time with him.
06:12You know, and he's great with Archie, so...
06:14He can stay as long as he likes.
06:15That's great.
06:17And you're looking a lot better.
06:19He obviously did a good job taking care of you.
06:22So I suppose you were right.
06:23He did deserve a bit of a break up at the lad's pad.
06:26Oh, yeah.
06:30OK.
06:31I know something's upsetting you.
06:34And you wouldn't be in here under my laser focus
06:36if you didn't want to share.
06:38Get rid of him and then we can talk.
06:40Is that bad?
06:41Yeah.
06:43It was Arthur that put me in hospital.
06:47I can almost smell the burning torches outside.
06:52Look, we all like a bit of trouble.
06:55But this deals everything.
06:57And I specifically said not to rub it in.
07:01Kane was just there.
07:03Couldn't resist.
07:05I can't believe I almost called the police on him for punching you.
07:08Do you ever learn?
07:10You need to find out sometime.
07:12Well, he should have come from me.
07:14Organ grinder.
07:15Monkey.
07:16You're lucky you don't have two black eyes.
07:19From where I'm sitting, all we've done is pull Moira out of a massive financial hole.
07:24Yeah, by taking her farm.
07:28How was she yesterday?
07:30Devastated about Kane.
07:32And the farm.
07:33But debt freeze, that's one weight lifted.
07:38It'll take time to turn things around.
07:40But I will.
07:41We will.
07:44And will it still be a farm?
07:46With plenty of potential for development.
07:49Not one decision is to be made without going through me first.
07:53Or what?
07:54Or I'll cheer when they string you up from the village hall when the news that we've got the farm
07:58gets out.
07:59It's going to be Robert they're stringing up.
08:02He's still taking the tenancy.
08:06Stanley just hit me.
08:08Kane will be okay.
08:11It's Frankie's granddad.
08:13What am I going to tell her?
08:16Hi, sorry.
08:17Can you just give me a minute?
08:18Sorry, I'll go.
08:20Oh, no, don't.
08:21It's not you, it's me.
08:30I've had that said to me many times.
08:34Have you heard about Kane?
08:35No.
08:38Is that why you've been helping him?
08:40I might have found something out a while then.
08:44But still, why have you helped?
08:47Respect.
08:49Well, thanks.
08:50The rest of the family might not say it, but thanks.
09:01Another day, another dollar.
09:04Is that really all you care about?
09:06I've seen you getting ruthless at take of Al, and that flinty look comes straight from me.
09:11I'm very proud.
09:12Oh, no, teacher's pet.
09:15Kane.
09:16Kane.
09:16Hello.
09:18I was half expecting you.
09:22If you've come to punch Joe again, I'm all for it.
09:27We're sorry about your news.
09:30I just want to have a conversation with Kim.
09:34It's fine.
09:35Go pack for London.
09:43Will I need my bulletproof vest?
10:01I'd offer you one, but this brandy's older and certainly wiser than you.
10:08And I wouldn't want it wasted up the walls.
10:11Don't pretend you wouldn't throw it.
10:15You know, there's been a distinct lack of angry mob at the door.
10:20So I take it the rest of the family doesn't know about the farm sale.
10:24What farm sale?
10:36You're worth the risk.
10:42Right, well, I'm sitting down.
10:43You can do whatever you like.
10:54You know, yesterday must have been just about the worst day of Moira's life.
11:01She's in prison.
11:02Innocent.
11:04The man she loves has cancer.
11:08Look at you.
11:10You're loving this, aren't you?
11:12On top of the world.
11:15Where you won't be for long.
11:17Because I'd rather burn that place down than let you have it.
11:21Except you won't.
11:24Because this is real and you have a family.
11:27And you wouldn't do that to them.
11:31You took advantage of her.
11:35She called me.
11:38And I saw the look on her face.
11:40So if she feels guilty,
11:43it's because she's relieved.
11:44So don't you dare make her feel any worse than she already does.
11:50It's a good deal.
11:52For all of us.
11:54And I'm not a tyrant.
11:57You and the boys can stay at the farm for as long as...
11:59No.
12:01We'll be out as soon as.
12:03You know, you've taken the very thing that made her what she is.
12:08Women are more adaptable than that.
12:11Unlike me.
12:13You see, I'm going to survive this.
12:15And then I'm going to come after you.
12:17I'm going to rip everything you've got to shreds.
12:22You see, I'm more of a...
12:24Same old, same old kind of bloke, mate.
12:37I know what you're thinking.
12:38Do you?
12:39Yeah, you're thinking,
12:40why didn't I tell Gabby what you did?
12:43Well, you and Gabby are great together,
12:45and she'd be so supportive.
12:46See, I told you I knew what you were thinking.
12:48Don't bite my head off,
12:49but are you sure Arthur caused your accident?
12:51I remember exactly what happened.
12:55Listen, Gabby is the mother of a four-year-old, okay?
12:59It's so simple when they're four.
13:02You know?
13:03You're in control of them.
13:04They kick off.
13:05You take away their tablet.
13:07Job done.
13:09I can barely admit it,
13:10but I am not in control of my son.
13:12And it is a humiliation of that,
13:14and that's why I didn't tell Gabby.
13:16It wasn't just to protect him, you know?
13:19I just feel like I've completely lost my way.
13:21No, no, I am not having that.
13:23I love you, Nicola,
13:24but you can't bully me out of the truth.
13:26It's true.
13:28I failed.
13:33Very generous, Cain.
13:34I drink one.
13:35We're supposed to still be at work.
13:36Oh, and for the record,
13:37we'd still prefer our wages.
13:39You're an idiot.
13:40Oh, please.
13:41Idiots don't get ten beef orders back.
13:43Yeah, they made an exception in your case, mate.
13:46I just encourage you to be free.
13:47Or is this one of those, like, living wakes
13:49where we all get round and say how we feel about Cain?
13:52Sorry, Ross,
13:53but you might not find this quite as funny as cancer.
13:57No, Cain, seriously, we're all with you.
13:59And we're battling out for Moira.
14:02Well, you might be battling out on your own before long,
14:06cos there's going to be big changes.
14:08Part of me hates she's done this,
14:10but it's her decision.
14:11We're, um, moving out of the farm.
14:16Is this a good time?
14:20Moira's sold her share of the farm to the Tex.
14:24What for?
14:25It's no secret we've been after the place for a while.
14:28And as unhappy as Cain might seem,
14:30I can assure you, Moira is relieved.
14:32And she's got a bit of extra money in her pocket,
14:35so...
14:35new pastures all round.
14:38Excuse the pun.
14:40I'm not having this.
14:42Did you two know
14:43Moira sold the farm to them?
14:46No.
14:48Since when?
14:50I wanted to tell you.
14:52Oh, come on, Robert.
14:54I can't deny it.
14:55We've been planning this for months.
14:57Everyone, meet the new tenant farmer at Butler's.
15:07He says I make terrible decisions,
15:09and he's right.
15:11You know, seeing Ray at the Chapel of Rest,
15:13he was an appalling human being,
15:15but I still went, didn't I?
15:19Every person Celia came into contact with,
15:22she abused.
15:23Including Ray.
15:26Yeah, he was awful,
15:27but he was also damaged by her.
15:33I'm so angry with Arthur,
15:35because I love him.
15:36I mean, what was he thinking?
15:42Right, so what are we going to do?
15:46I'm so glad I got you, Neil.
15:48Where would we be with ours?
15:51Right, you've got to find a way of talking to him.
15:56Like, not letting him off,
15:58but let him speak,
16:00and then you speak.
16:02Yeah.
16:05I miss Ashley, you know.
16:08And I know that Arthur's a man,
16:10but sometimes he just,
16:12he just needs his dad, doesn't he?
16:15You know, your kids are so lucky.
16:17Hey, no, never mind dads.
16:18You are a brilliant mum,
16:21and he needs to accept your flaws like you accept it.
16:24But not the violence, ever, or I'll kill him.
16:31I'm coming here.
16:37I didn't think this would actually happen.
16:40Well, you can still say no.
16:41Hmm, unfortunately he can't.
16:43Robert's fully committed,
16:44and he is fizzing with ideas.
16:46So tell him to shove it.
16:47Stuff this.
16:48Kate, just leave him.
16:49Oi!
16:50Any more, I'll have to step in.
16:51Or in Chaz.
16:52Do you know what?
16:53You're not worth it.
16:57Look, we can make this work for all of us.
16:59Well, when did they say you could have the farm?
17:01It was all pie in the sky.
17:02I never thought Moira would sell up.
17:04Nonsense.
17:04We put so much effort in for you to get it.
17:06You must have been hopeful, at least.
17:08Well, shut up, you.
17:09I thought you were a mate.
17:11And you do this.
17:13It's just business, Sam.
17:15How was I supposed to know you'd get cancer?
17:16Oh, yeah, so this is all your fault, Kane.
17:20Look, I promise you, nothing's going to change.
17:22But it will, though,
17:23because Moira's not the earner
17:24and now you're everyone's boss.
17:26You know what?
17:27No wonder your dad never respected you.
17:30Get him home.
17:31Pack his bags and get him out.
17:37I'm not going to do that.
17:39Look, someone's got to run the place.
17:42You knew.
17:44Yeah.
17:46But it's like he said,
17:47we never thought it'd actually happen,
17:48but now it has.
17:50We've just got to deal with it.
17:51Come on.
17:52So what about our jobs?
17:53Don't give them the satisfaction.
17:55Them?
17:55Who's them?
17:58Are you saying I'm one of them?
17:59You don't have to be.
18:02Me or him.
18:03You choose.
18:04I'll stick with them.
18:11Can I get anyone another drink?
18:17No.
18:18A bottle of lager, please, Bob.
18:22I get that Mum's got to do what's best for her.
18:24Especially now.
18:26We all know Moira's innocent,
18:28but she's found herself in this terrible situation.
18:31All because she was trying to save the farm.
18:33Yeah.
18:36And there's bad memories there too, you know.
18:40There's so many good ones.
18:43You know, my dad.
18:46Holly.
18:48And Adam.
18:51We're all in there.
18:55Sorry.
18:55It's...
18:56I get it.
18:57It's just...
18:58You know, family home gone.
19:01Amy gone.
19:02Probably lost my job.
19:04Let's not jump the gun on that.
19:09Sneaking off?
19:11I could see you were busy.
19:13Did, uh...
19:14Tracy put herself around?
19:16We had a chat.
19:18It was fine.
19:20My father, he had prostate cancer.
19:24I'm sorry about that.
19:26Thanks.
19:27Anyway.
19:29Hopefully the chat helped her.
19:34I don't get you.
19:36Neither do I.
19:38You're such a decent person.
19:40You'll be patting me on the head next.
19:41Don't try and joke your way out of it.
19:44What the hell are you doing up there with her?
19:47I'm not with Kim in any way at all.
19:51I'm just here for Joe.
19:52But whatever she does, he does.
19:54You'll see sense in the end.
19:56He's got Dawn, the kids, and he's loved.
20:00He'll realise what that means
20:01and get as far away from Kim as he can.
20:04I'm here to make sure that happens for him.
20:08And what about you?
20:09And what you want?
20:15Do you want me to say it out loud again?
20:23End of an era.
20:25Or the start of something new.
20:28Nah.
20:31It takes one in the end.
20:42Please, let's not fall out with the man who's got cancer.
20:45We already have.
20:46Well, no more than that then, because we need to be united.
20:48Oh my God, have you heard yourself?
20:50I have to make this work.
20:52If I don't grab this now, then someone else will
20:54and all that misery will be for nothing.
20:56So what, you just decided to say nothing
20:58when I told Joe where to stick it earlier?
20:59Because I didn't know then.
21:00Yeah, but then, even when you found out,
21:01you still let me walk straight in there,
21:03knowing it had been sold.
21:04Joe swore that I could tell you first myself.
21:07Right, well, he's never lied before, has he?
21:08Are you thick?
21:10Sometimes, yeah.
21:11Which is exactly why I need you.
21:16I knew you'd have my back, back there in the pub.
21:20That's not a brag, that's gratitude.
21:22Especially knowing the trouble it's going to cause you.
21:26You made me choose.
21:27No, I didn't.
21:28Kane did.
21:31You'd better be able to fix this.
22:11You'd better be able to fix this.
22:12Bye-bye.
22:12Bye-bye.
22:13Bye-bye.
22:13Bye.
22:13Bye.
22:13Bye.
