00:01This is not the way to live.
00:03All tubes and wires doing all the work.
00:06Dad, nothing is going to happen to you.
00:08Dad, let them keep me alive just for the sake of it. Promise me.
00:11That's what you want.
00:11Thomas, I'm going to tell the cops everything.
00:14You, him, Project 56. I've got proof.
00:19No, you don't. I destroyed it all, including the divorce papers.
00:23I make copies.
00:25What copies?
00:26Tell me you've got copies. Where are they?
00:28Please.
00:30Tell me.
00:33It appears that Mr Walters is brain dead.
00:36A decision will have to be made about when to terminate life support.
00:41If he dies within the three-month post-night period, you don't get a penny.
00:45You have to keep that life support system on.
00:47If you want to see any of that money, you have to keep him alive.
00:54You know we belong together.
00:58You and I forever and ever.
01:03No matter where you are.
01:06No matter where you are.
01:07No matter where you are.
01:08You're my guiding star.
01:10You're my guiding star.
01:11You're my guiding star.
01:12Hold me in your arms.
01:15Don't let me go.
01:17I want to stay forever.
01:21Close I reach day.
01:24Home and away.
01:27Keep him alive for three months.
01:29They're about to pull the plug.
01:31Then you have to stop them.
01:32How, Josh?
01:33The only reason they haven't done it already is because they're waiting for Robbie and Kit to say goodbye.
01:37Why?
01:37You will think of something, okay?
01:39Oh, my God.
01:40What?
01:40The divorce papers.
01:41It's fine.
01:42I got rid of them.
01:42No, no.
01:43When Graham woke up, he told me that he'd made copies.
01:45What?
01:46And all of the Project 56 stuff as well.
01:48He's hidden them.
01:49Where are they?
01:50If I knew that, I wouldn't be freaking out, would I?
01:52I don't know.
01:53Beth's house?
01:54My ale house?
01:55They could be anywhere.
01:56He didn't tell me.
01:57I'll find them.
01:58You just get in there and act your little heart out to keep him alive.
02:01Otherwise, you're not going to see another cent of that money.
02:07Do you think he knows we're here?
02:09It's peaceful.
02:10That's the main thing.
02:19I can't do it.
02:21Sorry?
02:22I don't want to lose him.
02:25I don't want him to die.
02:28But we've agreed to let him die with-
02:30I don't care.
02:31I've changed my mind.
02:33It's not right.
02:33I won't let you turn off the machine.
03:03Hello, anyone there?
03:09Mr. Walters?
03:10Are you in there?
03:27But we've made the decision.
03:29We have to go through with it.
03:31Why?
03:32It's a bad decision.
03:34I felt rushed into it.
03:35It's all just happened too suddenly.
03:37I can't live without him.
03:38Look, it's hard on all of us.
03:40I mean, he wasn't only your husband.
03:42He was my father.
03:43And he was my children's grandfather.
03:45But what really matters here is what's best for him, not us.
03:48Well, who says that turning off his machine is what's best for him?
03:52Well, you heard what the doctor said.
03:54Well, what if the doctor's wrong?
03:55People wake up from this sort of thing all the time.
03:58He's not going to wake up.
04:01I want a second opinion.
04:02What?
04:03Why?
04:04Because this is his life that we're talking about.
04:07Yeah, but look, the hospital may not actually be able to get hold of a specialist at this hour.
04:10Well, we'll have to just wait.
04:13Look, Dad said that he didn't want this dragged out.
04:16So for his sake, we're going to stick to what we agreed.
04:19I'm his wife and I don't agree to it.
04:21Well, sorry we talked so long.
04:24Grandpa.
04:25What's going on?
04:30Alfred?
04:31Yes?
04:32Have you seen Graham Walters anywhere?
04:33Well, recently?
04:34How recent do we talk?
04:35Um, last couple of hours.
04:37No, why?
04:39Did you hear?
04:40Hear what?
04:40Graham's had a massive stroke.
04:41He's brain dead.
04:42He's on life so far.
04:43Apparently he collapsed after going for a walk.
04:45Amanda and Beth tried to revive him.
04:47Amanda was with him.
04:48Yeah, but it was Josh who managed to revive him before the ambulance got there.
04:51Josh West was there too.
04:53Joking this out is not good for any of us.
04:55As difficult as it is, we need to say our goodbyes and let him go.
04:59That is what he wanted.
05:01I understand that.
05:03Really, I do.
05:04I just need to be sure.
05:06And until we've exhausted every avenue, then we can talk about it again.
05:10Exhausted every avenue?
05:12How long are you expecting to keep him like that?
05:14I don't know.
05:15We haven't even started looking at natural therapy.
05:17I mean, Chinese medicine, acupuncture.
05:19Amanda, the only thing keeping Dad alive right now is that machine in there.
05:24I mean, you heard what the doctor said.
05:25His condition is irreversible and untreatable.
05:29And what you're doing is pointless and it is beginning to be cruel.
05:33I'm being cruel?
05:34Yeah.
05:35You're the one who wants to enter your own father's life without even a second thought.
05:38Hey, hey, hey.
05:38It's a little bit emotional, okay?
05:39No, I love Graham.
05:41And unlike you, I am not going to abandon him when he needs me the most.
05:44Back off.
05:44Don't you speak to me like I don't care for my father.
05:47Cut the bull, Amanda.
05:48You didn't love me.
05:49If you did, you wouldn't have had an affair.
05:50What?
05:50Robbie, you don't even know what you're talking about.
05:54With Josh, the two of them were sneaky around behind Grandpa's back.
05:57It was one kiss and he forced himself onto me.
06:00You know that.
06:02Look, I care about Graham.
06:04Yeah.
06:05And you can say what you want about me.
06:07But I am not letting him go until I'm ready to.
06:31Oh, what a picture of wifely concern.
06:35How quaint.
06:36I am not up to you tonight.
06:38I've come to see Mr. Walters, not you.
06:41Oh, is he?
06:43How do you think he is?
06:44Poor man.
06:46You know, those attacks must have been very severe for him to wind up on life support.
06:50But how convenient for you.
06:53Excuse me?
06:55Oh, come on.
06:56You must admit it's all rather odd.
06:58I mean, your husband finds out about your extracurricular activities with Mr. West
07:02and suddenly lands up like this, unable to say a word to anyone.
07:06Isn't that a coincidence?
07:08You cow.
07:10How dare you imply that I had something to do with this?
07:14He had a weak heart.
07:15That is not my fault.
07:17I wonder.
07:23You know, this time you've gone too far.
07:25I know you and Josh West are behind this somehow.
07:28And the moment I get a scary good proof, everyone else will too.
08:32Transcription by CastingWords
08:34Amanda's genuine?
08:35That she really can't live without him?
08:37Can't live without his money more like it.
08:39And if she cheated on him, I mean, how much can she really care?
08:41Look, kid, I'm not discounting any of that, but trust me,
08:44you know, when you're facing a future that's suddenly by itself,
08:47it can be pretty scary.
08:48Maybe Tony's right.
08:51Yeah, real mum, this is Amanda we're talking about.
08:53Well, then why isn't she jumping at the chance to get rid of him?
08:56I mean, ever since he had the heart attack,
08:58she's done everything she can to help.
08:59You sure about that?
09:01I was there.
09:02I mean, if it wasn't for Amanda, and Josh for that matter,
09:04he would never have made it to the hospital.
09:06I don't care if she donated a kidney,
09:08there's something not right about this.
09:09I mean, if it wasn't for you, I mean, if it wasn't for you.
09:32I mean, if it wasn't for you, I mean, if it wasn't for you.
10:06It can be very difficult for family to let go,
10:09even when the facts are all there.
10:10But now Amanda wants second opinions, third opinions,
10:13alternative medicines.
10:14I mean, goodness knows where it's going to stop.
10:15All she's doing is making it hard for my family
10:18to come to terms with what's already a painful situation.
10:20Just one second.
10:22Rachel, have you got a minute?
10:23Yeah, sure.
10:25This is Dr Armstrong, our psych registrar.
10:27We've met.
10:28Yes.
10:28I'm sorry to hear about your father.
10:30The problem is the patient's wife.
10:32In spite of the fact that there's no hope of recovery for Mr Walters,
10:34Miss Vale is struggling with the decision to turn the life support off.
10:37I was hoping maybe you could have a chat with her.
10:39Oh, of course.
10:41Thanks.
10:41Good luck.
10:42Look, we've tried to make her understand that's not what he wanted,
10:46but she just won't listen.
10:47Look, I'm happy to talk to her,
10:48but obviously I can't promise you anything.
10:51I have some time now, if that's a help.
10:53Oh, thank you.
11:01She seems nice.
11:02Yeah, she is.
11:03She seems nice.
11:39Am I interrupting?
11:40I'm Rachel Armstrong,
11:42and I'm the psychiatrist on staff here.
11:44If Beth's tried to talk you into coming and changing my mind,
11:47then you might as well just turn around and walk my couch.
11:50Well, actually, Dr Young sent me here.
11:52He thought that you might like someone to talk to.
11:55Well, there's nothing to talk about.
11:58Graham's my husband,
11:59and if I don't want to lose him,
12:01then that's my choice.
12:02Of course it is.
12:03And that's completely understandable that you would feel that way.
12:07You and Graham are recently married, aren't you?
12:09Yes, but that doesn't mean that I love him any less than his daughter or his grandkids.
12:14Well, quite the opposite, in fact.
12:16You and Graham are probably still very much in the honeymoon phase.
12:20Talk ten times a day on the phone,
12:22flowers for no reason.
12:24Can't get enough for each other.
12:26Something like that.
12:29No one can blame you for clinging on to every moment that you have left with him.
12:34But I want you to ask yourself,
12:35is this actually what's best for Graham?
12:38I don't have a choice.
12:40I can't let him die.
12:42Sometimes, Amanda,
12:44the greatest act of love
12:46is to let go.
12:48I'd like to be alone now, thank you.
12:53If there's anything that I can do,
12:55or if you want to talk to me,
12:56just ask the nurse to page me, okay?
13:09Oh, Rachel.
13:11How did you go?
13:12Um, I tried, but I'm sorry.
13:14Amanda's grieving.
13:15It's going to take her some time
13:16before she's ready to let go.
13:18We're all grieving.
13:19He's my father, for God's sake.
13:21I want to talk to him.
13:23That's such a good idea.
13:24Hey, look, why don't I just take you home?
13:26I mean, Rachel's already said
13:27there's nothing more we can do tonight.
13:28Someone needs to help her understand
13:30that what she's doing is wrong.
13:32Beth?
13:32It's all right.
13:33I'll be calm.
13:35I promise.
13:42She's right, you know.
13:43I never wanted this.
13:47This isn't real.
13:48It's not happening.
13:50That's how I felt
13:51when I found out about you and Josh.
13:54The funny thing is,
13:55I never expected you to love me.
13:58But I thought if I loved you,
13:59made a good home for you and young Ryan,
14:01you'd be happy enough.
14:03No fool like an old fool, eh?
14:06But I know you're a woman
14:08who still has a chance
14:09to pull herself out of this muck.
14:11Do you hear what I'm saying?
14:13Amanda?
14:15Amanda?
14:16Amanda?
14:17Amanda?
14:18You all right?
14:20We need to talk.
14:22If we could put our differences aside,
14:24I'm sure we'll work out how to...
14:27I can't.
14:28Not now.
14:29Where are you going?
14:32Amanda?
14:35I didn't say anything,
14:36I swear.
14:39Host up.
14:40What did you say?
14:41Host up's real agreement.
14:43One of its conditions
14:43is that if Grandpa dies
14:44in the first three months
14:45of their marriage,
14:46Amanda gets nothing.
14:47That's why she needs
14:48to keep him alive.
15:06What do you want?
15:07I have a council meeting
15:08in ten minutes.
15:09I've had enough.
15:10I can't do this anymore.
15:12Well, I'm sorry you feel that way,
15:14but you don't have any choice.
15:15No, this has gone on
15:17for long enough.
15:18I want out.
15:19What about our deal?
15:21You can't just back out now
15:22because you're feeling the heat.
15:23Now?
15:24This has been going on for months.
15:26I married that man
15:28for his money, not you.
15:29And now I have to go in there
15:30every day and make an excuse
15:32to keep him alive.
15:33I've got Morag and Beth
15:35on my back
15:35and I just can't keep up with it.
15:37Amanda?
15:38Amanda, listen to me.
15:38Get away from me.
15:39Amanda, listen to me.
15:41You're in this way too deep
15:42to back out.
15:43We both are.
15:44If you think they're
15:45giving you grief now,
15:45that's nothing compared
15:46to what I'll do
15:47if you don't say this through.
15:50We're dying
15:51with someone's life.
15:52I don't care.
15:53You just get to that hospital
15:54and don't let anybody
15:55turn that life support system off.
15:57Do you understand?
16:00I understand your distress,
16:02but post-nuptial clauses aside,
16:03she is Mr. Walter's wife.
16:05The decision rests with her regardless.
16:07Is that true?
16:08Well, Amanda's behaviour
16:10might be countless
16:10and money-grabbing
16:11when she's not actually
16:12doing anything illegal.
16:13There must be something
16:14that we can do.
16:15Leave it with me.
16:22Amanda, this is ridiculous.
16:24I mean, my father
16:25has a right to die with dignity.
16:27Sorry?
16:28Oh, don't pretend
16:29you don't know
16:29what I'm talking about.
16:30You're keeping him alive
16:31for the money.
16:32No, I'm keeping great alive
16:33because I love him.
16:34Stop lying.
16:35We know about the post-nup.
16:36You have to keep him alive
16:37or you don't get a cent.
16:38I don't know
16:38what you're talking about.
16:40You're not going anywhere
16:41near my grandfather again.
16:42In case you've forgotten,
16:44I'm his wife, sweetie.
16:45Now get out of my way.
16:46You've been using him
16:47all along.
16:48And you've had it in for me
16:49since I arrived.
16:50I wish you never did arrive.
16:52And you're using now
16:53while your father's
16:55barely alive in there
16:56to take your anger
16:57out on me.
16:58What a great example
16:59for your children, first.
17:00Oh, cut it out.
17:01I mean, you can manipulate
17:02my son and my father
17:03but it doesn't wash with me.
17:04You are nothing
17:05but a liar.
17:06Get out of my way.
17:06Calm down, calm down.
17:07This is a hospital
17:08I'd like to remind you.
17:09And I would like
17:10to see my husband.
17:14Excuse me.
17:22Poor bloke.
17:23You wouldn't wish it
17:24on your worst enemy,
17:24would you?
17:25Oh, that's for sure.
17:26How about from the kids
17:27bearing up?
17:28Yeah, okay.
17:29Considering it's Amanda
17:31who seems to be
17:31the real problem.
17:32She just can't seem
17:32to let him go.
17:33Well, I know
17:34what that's like.
17:35Still, it's not fair
17:36to keep someone in limbo,
17:37is it?
17:38It just makes it harder
17:38for everyone else.
17:40As far as there's not
17:41much point in going
17:42around there now,
17:42I'll sneak around
17:43in the morning
17:44and see how they're doing.
17:45See you later, eh?
17:46Yeah, see you, buddy.
17:50This is becoming a habit.
17:51Yeah, either that
17:52or you're stalking me.
17:58So, thanks for helping
17:59out of the hospital
18:00with Amanda.
18:00The hunters
18:01would have really
18:01appreciated it.
18:02Oh, I just wish
18:03I could have done more.
18:06I hadn't met
18:07Beth's other daughter
18:07before.
18:08Yeah, kid.
18:09She's been away.
18:12You two seem
18:12to know each other
18:13quite well.
18:15But you're keeping
18:15an eye on us,
18:16were you?
18:17No.
18:20I'm a psychiatrist.
18:21You know,
18:22I pick up
18:22on things like that.
18:23Right, and here I was
18:24thinking you were jealous.
18:27But you're not,
18:27so, yeah.
18:31I'm going to get
18:32these arms
18:32because it'll be cold
18:33soon.
18:33Yeah, okay.
18:34Not any.
18:35Bye.
18:36Yeah.
18:40You go home.
18:42Get some rest.
18:43Maybe I should stay.
18:44No, nothing's going
18:44to happen until tomorrow.
18:46Yeah, Amanda made
18:46sure of that.
18:47I can't believe her
18:48pretending to be
18:48the poor grieving wife
18:49when all she wants
18:50is grandpa's money.
18:51I did warn you
18:52all ages ago.
18:53Oh, I'm sorry
18:54we ever doubted you.
18:56Okay.
18:57See you later, guys.
18:58See you.
18:59Bye-bye.
19:01I just want to know
19:02one thing.
19:02Why are you so
19:03hell-bent on ruining
19:04all of our lives?
19:05I mean, how can you
19:05keep doing this?
19:06Me, Scott, Grandpa.
19:08Who's next?
19:08Your addiction
19:09has nothing to do with me.
19:09At least I had the guts
19:11to stand up and take
19:11responsibility for my actions.
19:13Speaking of which,
19:14shouldn't you be passed
19:14out in a pub somewhere?
19:15You might have
19:16grandpa fooled,
19:17but we all know
19:17exactly what you are like
19:18and you are not
19:19going to get a cent
19:19of his money.
19:20Look, just get out
19:20of my way,
19:21you stupid drunk.
19:22Just let her.
19:23Look, she's lost it again.
19:25I think maybe
19:25you should shake her breath.
19:27Oh, and if I were you,
19:28I'd start looking
19:29for a lawyer.
19:30You mean we might
19:31have a case?
19:31I've just got off
19:32the phone with a colleague.
19:33He seems to think so.
19:34What are you talking about?
19:35I'm here to inform you
19:36that Mrs. Hunter
19:37is going to contest
19:38your decision
19:39to keep her father
19:40on life support.
19:40She can't do that.
19:41Oh, I assure you
19:42she can.
19:44So, we'll see you
19:45in court, Miss Vale.
19:47Tomorrow.
19:56Yeah, okay.
19:57Good on you, mate.
19:58I appreciate that.
19:59Sorry to call you so late.
20:00Bye.
20:02Well, what did the lawyer say?
20:04There's no getting out of it.
20:07Well, there has to be.
20:09I can't go to court.
20:10Look at me.
20:11I'm a mess.
20:12Amanda, you can't let
20:13Morag and Beth
20:14get to you like this.
20:16Alright, it's just
20:17another performance,
20:18an acting role.
20:18It's what you do best.
20:19I don't normally get
20:20into a court
20:21and lie to a judge.
20:22Well, you're going to
20:23have to and you're going
20:24to have to give this
20:24performance everything
20:25you've got.
20:25I already have.
20:27That's all I've done.
20:29We can't go through
20:30with this, Josh.
20:31We have to let Graham go
20:32because this is going
20:33to end badly.
20:34I can feel it.
20:35The only way this is
20:35going to end badly
20:36is if you stuff it up.
20:37You're going to win
20:38tomorrow, Amanda.
20:39You will.
20:40And you have to.
20:41Everything is on the line.
20:50It won't be long
20:51now, Dad.
20:53I promise you.
20:55I'll fix it.
21:01Bobby!
21:02Bobby!
21:08Drink it's for the best.
21:17Home and away.
21:18Tomorrow.
