00:00Kena, I don't want any trouble.
00:28Um, I just wanted to speak to Moira if she's around. Is she here?
00:34Doesn't look like it.
00:38Can you just tell her then that I moved the steers to the top field like she asked?
00:45What time does it kick off then?
00:48First light.
00:50I bet you're not popular at home.
00:54I'm about as popular there as I am anywhere else.
00:58How is she?
00:59How do you think?
01:02I saw Victoria yesterday.
01:05Well, that went down well.
01:08Yeah, well, John was reassuring and he didn't need to be.
01:12He said that Harry's over the worst of it and he's going to pull through.
01:16If anything happens to him, um, and what happens if other people get sick?
01:24And I've done, I've done plenty of things in my past that I'm not proud of.
01:30But this, and I'm really sorry for how I was with you yesterday.
01:35I really am.
01:36This, this is a nightmare.
01:42Nobody else seems too bad, sir.
01:46Charles and Claudette, they're on the mend.
01:49Sit down.
01:49I'll make you a break.
01:59All right.
02:00Cheers.
02:02I feel bad buying bottled water, global warming and all that.
02:05Well, at least it's safe to drink.
02:07Frankie's all right, aren't you?
02:08Yeah, thank God.
02:10I just wish they'd hurry up and fix it.
02:12I did not budge it for this.
02:13Yeah, the mark-up is quite extraordinary.
02:16I've got to be a billionaire by now.
02:18That's the spirit.
02:2032.70, thank you.
02:24Yep.
02:26Declined.
02:27Oh.
02:28Dodgy signal?
02:30Ah-ha.
02:30Probably.
02:31Try.
02:32Er, I must have just maxed it out.
02:34Sorry.
02:36I could take it out of your wages.
02:40Although that could be a slippery slope.
02:42Yeah, no, it's fine.
02:43Cain had lent me some money to help with Frankie, but...
02:46must have spent it all.
02:48On bottled water, probably.
02:49Is Nate still out of my hair?
02:52Yeah.
02:53It's all right, I'll just put some of this back.
02:55No, no, no, don't worry, I'll get it.
02:56Well, I can't ask you to do that.
02:58You're not asking me, I'm offering.
03:00It's no big deal.
03:00You sure?
03:01Yeah.
03:03Thanks.
03:04What have you done?
03:05I'll help you carry that as well.
03:07Not light, are they?
03:08No wonder they invented taps.
03:11Thanks.
03:13Bye.
03:13Bye.
03:18Oh!
03:22Madam.
03:24Are you responsible for the state of the kitchen, or have we been burgled?
03:28Well, what did you expect me to do?
03:29We don't have any safe water, I can't exactly clean up.
03:31Oh, great.
03:32So you thought you'd just swan off in here and leave me to sort it all out, did you?
03:34Right, well, hopefully we'll get the water sorted soon, and then I'll deal with it.
03:37Oh, well, we could do with some good luck, that's for sure.
03:40Any news on Harry?
03:42No update.
03:44Not since Vic tore a strip-off mat yesterday.
03:47She must be beside herself.
03:49Well, he should never have gone down there, should he?
03:51I mean, he was asking for trouble.
03:52And poor Harry, gosh, it's so rubbish being in hospital when you're that little...
03:57You'd have kids, eh?
03:58Well, it must be worth it, though, otherwise no-one would bother.
04:03Well, that's what we keep telling ourselves.
04:05So please, Sarah, do me a favour.
04:06Help me believe.
04:08Tidy up after yourself in the future.
04:09I've already said I will.
04:12You've got some nerves showing your face, haven't you?
04:15Come this way, Nicola.
04:16I'm really not in the mood.
04:17I have done nothing but wait since six o'clock this morning.
04:21I've been bounced around from pillar to post.
04:23I'm currently on hold, again.
04:25Trying to get someone from environmental health
04:27to tell me when our water's going to be back on.
04:29Well, hey, your guess is as good as mine.
04:31I'm trying to run a business here.
04:33And I've got three kids at home.
04:35Four, if you include Jimmy.
04:36We can't go on like this.
04:37Well, we're all in the same boat here.
04:39Because of your half-wit husband.
04:41Right, there's no point in fighting about it.
04:43I don't really know what you want me to say, Nicola.
04:45Mac feels really bad about what's happened, by the way.
04:48Really, really bad.
04:49In fact, I'm actually quite worried about him.
04:51But he didn't do it deliberately.
04:53And he's pretty gutted about it.
04:54So you carry on shouting your face off, Nicola,
04:56if that makes you feel better.
04:58But nothing you can say can make this any worse.
05:05Oh, come on.
05:06That's the...
05:08I saw you keep saying, but, you know,
05:10this feels like you're trying to squirm out
05:12of your responsibility on a technicality.
05:16What?
05:17Fine.
05:18Well, thank you for nothing.
05:19Oh, and if I can return the favour...
05:21Who guesses who that was?
05:24Well, they're an insurance company.
05:25I mean, there's not an ounce of humanity in them.
05:27What are they saying now?
05:30They're still not budging.
05:31They're not going to pay a penny
05:32on the grounds that the slurry leak went
05:36beyond the bounds of our farm.
05:38I mean, that's the thing about leaks.
05:39They leak.
05:40They don't respect boundaries, do they?
05:42Oh, and talking to somebody
05:43who's never even set foot in a field,
05:45I mean, that's just making my blood boil,
05:46I can tell you.
05:48You know I'll do all I can.
05:50Look, it's not your mess, is it?
05:52Yeah, we'll sort this.
05:53Will we?
05:55Honestly, Cain, I know I keep saying this,
05:57but I really think that this one's taking me under.
05:59Hey.
06:00Hi.
06:01I've got Lewis in the car.
06:02I know, I tried to hold him off
06:04until things calmed down.
06:05I know you've got a load on your plate,
06:06but he was dead keen for today.
06:08Now's not a good time.
06:10Well, when's it going to be?
06:12You clear off to work,
06:13you go and fetch him in
06:14and let's get this done.
06:15I mean, it's one thing
06:22trying to run a vet surgery without running water,
06:24but it's practically impossible for a cafe.
06:26Yeah, it's tricky, I get it.
06:27Tricky? That's one way for it.
06:28I mean, I've even tried tapping up
06:30some of my old work colleagues from the council,
06:31but some people have very short memories.
06:33Well, I'm sure it'll get sorted one way or another
06:35if we're not all dead of dysentery.
06:37Well, they can't just leave us like this, can they?
06:38We've managed so far.
06:40I mean, honestly, the hours I have put in
06:42in those dreadful meetings
06:43with the more boring on about traffic zoning
06:45and big collection and pest control.
06:48They should give me an MBE,
06:49never mind basic sanitation rights.
06:51Hang on.
06:52Yes, yes, I'm here.
06:55I've aged 20 years, but I'm still here.
06:57I thought I was never getting out of that convo.
07:03Yeah, she is on one all right,
07:05but then again, when is she not?
07:07So, er, how's it going?
07:09Any news about, you know?
07:11Yeah, I've got an appointment
07:12at the fertility clinic today.
07:14What time?
07:142.30.
07:16Erm, OK, well, I could give you a lift if you like.
07:20Really?
07:20Yeah, I mean, you don't want to be
07:21turning up all sweaty and stressed out.
07:23It's a big deal finding out
07:25if you can be a mum or not.
07:26Tell me about it.
07:27I'm not happy to take you.
07:29We all need a bit of moral support, don't we?
07:31What do you two think I see us about?
07:33Well, you'd be pleased to know
07:34that I've finally got somewhere with the council.
07:37They're sending an emergency water supply today.
07:39Turns out I've still got some clarity after all.
07:41Thank God for that.
07:42There you go, Nicola.
07:43Nicola.
07:51Hi.
07:51Oh, come in, come in.
07:53Moira Dingle.
07:54Meet Lewis Barton.
07:56Thank you so much for agreeing to see me.
07:58I heard about the story leak.
08:00Oh, great.
08:01So I know my timing could be better.
08:03And yet, here you are.
08:05Well, come in, sit down, make yourself comfy.
08:08Do you want a tea or a coffee?
08:09I'm fine, thanks.
08:10I'll have whatever's going.
08:12Well, I'll have one while you're at it.
08:13You know where the kettle is.
08:15So, have you always farmed, then?
08:17Is it like a whole family thing, or...?
08:19Well, I know Emma was a nurse,
08:22but I guess she married into the dynasty, right?
08:24Mm-hm.
08:25Sorry.
08:26I know it can't be easy to talk about her.
08:29No, no.
08:30It's fine.
08:31Well, it can't be that fine knowing your son killed her.
08:33Lewis!
08:34Sorry.
08:35I'm always doing this.
08:37My mum, my adoptive mum,
08:40she reckons I've got splitting mouth disease.
08:45I know she had mental health issues.
08:50Doesn't beat around the bush, does he?
08:51Couldn't you have got help or something?
08:53Like, I just can't work out what went so wrong.
08:56There we go.
09:07See?
09:08Can't have you fading away when you're supposed to be on mum duty.
09:11I don't like leaving him.
09:13You'll be fine for five minutes,
09:14and a bit of fresh air will do you good.
09:16Why, do I look that rough?
09:17No.
09:19But it will give the nurses a chance to get on with the jobs
09:21without you breathing down the necks.
09:24Well, I obviously learnt from the best.
09:26Oh, I, um, I got you a few, er, extra bits,
09:29just on the off chance you want to freshen up or whatever.
09:32You didn't need to do that.
09:33Yeah, I know.
09:34I wanted to.
09:36Never had a little sister before.
09:39Wow.
09:40Hand cream, a nail file, some lip balm.
09:44You've got it all covered.
09:45Well, that's army training for you.
09:47Always prepare for the unexpected.
09:48And how much chocolate do you think I'm going to eat?
09:50Well, you can't have too much, right?
09:55Right, best get back to Harry.
09:57Well, I'll follow you in.
09:59Actually, just give Aaron a quick call first.
10:02Thanks, John.
10:03And I really appreciate you looking after us.
10:05John!
10:19It is you!
10:21I thought it was you.
10:23Oh, it's good to see you.
10:27I was in such a fluster trying to get here quick.
10:30The traffic's murder.
10:32But I picked up that message telling me to come in right away about Aidan.
10:36They called you too then.
10:38It's so good to see a friendly face.
10:58I hate hospitals.
11:02I hate the lighting.
11:03I hate the smell.
11:05God forgive me.
11:06I hate being around all those sick people.
11:08So, um, so what's happened?
11:11I don't know.
11:12They're awful vague.
11:13They just asked me to come in and see my Aidan.
11:16Well, our Aidan.
11:19Have you been in?
11:20No.
11:25No, I'm actually here because my nephew's been admitted.
11:27He picked up something really nasty from contaminated water.
11:31Oh, no.
11:32Poor little mate.
11:33How old is he?
11:34Five.
11:35Oh, how awful.
11:37I actually need to go and check in on him now.
11:40Well, I thought we could go in and see Aidan together.
11:44Just in case it's bad news.
11:46It'll be fine.
11:47I will come and find you as soon as I can.
11:51Oh, Kathleen, come on, come on.
11:54Where's that fighting spirit, eh?
11:56I'm sure there is absolutely nothing to worry about.
12:07With your medical history, getting pregnant would be quite a challenge.
12:12Yeah, I know.
12:12That's what Manpreet said.
12:14Oh, Dr Sharma.
12:15It's a small village.
12:17Lines get blurred.
12:18But it's not impossible, right?
12:21You've already been through quite a lot.
12:23Yeah, so we know I'm strong.
12:25Well, I don't think anyone's going to argue with that.
12:29Now, I know you'll have discussed all of this with your GP,
12:32but I'd be neglecting my duties as a doctor.
12:35Not to reiterate the fact that people with Fanconi anaemia
12:37are unlikely to be able to conceive.
12:39Yeah, well, I've done my research.
12:42It is possible.
12:46Look, if there's something specific you'd like me to take a look at,
12:49then I'd be happy to, of course.
12:52As I'm sure you've spoken about with your mother, I...
12:54Oh, no, no, no, no.
12:55I'm not a mum.
12:56I'm just a family friend.
12:57Yeah, my mum's not around.
12:58I live with my gran.
13:00And what about a partner?
13:01Do you have one?
13:02Well, I don't need one, do I?
13:03Not if I'm going to do it through sperm donation.
13:06She has got a big family around her.
13:09A good support network.
13:11Well, it takes a village.
13:14So, let's say you are able to carry a baby to full term.
13:19As I'm sure you're aware with your condition,
13:21even with medical advances,
13:24Fanconi anaemia will impact your life expectancy.
13:27Yeah, trust me, I know.
13:28That is all anyone has told me for the longest time.
13:30You know, make every second count.
13:32And we can introduce you to counsellors
13:34to help you deal with that.
13:35No, I don't need counselling.
13:36That's not what I'm here for.
13:37And none of us know how long we've got left, do we?
13:40We really don't.
13:43But I need to know that you fully understood
13:44the ramifications of bringing a baby into the world
13:47when it's quite possible
13:48that you're not going to be around
13:49to see them grow into adulthood.
13:51Yeah, I have thought about this for a really long time.
13:53But what I'm asking you is,
13:54can I have a baby or not?
13:57I'm not sure I'm ready for an interrogation
13:59just at the minute.
14:00I know, I know.
14:01I mean, I knew he had questions, but...
14:03He's autistic, isn't he?
14:04No, he told me yesterday.
14:06Ah.
14:07So I don't think subtle social niceties
14:10are high on his agenda.
14:12You're not very good at whispering.
14:17So that's Adam, then.
14:20Doesn't look like a killer.
14:22But then what can you really tell from a photo?
14:24I guess we've all got it in us
14:26if we're pushed far enough.
14:27Have you forgiven him?
14:33He's my son.
14:34Firstborn?
14:36No.
14:37Why did he do it then?
14:39Was it revenge for her, Ken and Finn and James?
14:41No, it wasn't like that.
14:42I mean, she was a...
14:44Well, she had a lot of problems.
14:47And me and her, we had a complicated history.
14:51Oh, she didn't like me very much
14:53and she got really paranoid
14:55and she couldn't regulate her emotions.
14:59Like, wouldn't let things drop.
15:01What things?
15:02Well, and Adam, he was...
15:04He was just trying to protect me.
15:07We should have tried to get her help, mate.
15:09You're right.
15:11Adam didn't mean to hurt her.
15:13Not really.
15:15It was just an awful, horrible accident.
15:19Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.
15:22I've got so many questions.
15:23I know, mate, we get it, but...
15:24Well, I can't ask Emma, can I?
15:25Let's face it.
15:25Oh, come on, mate.
15:27Let's pick this up another time, shall we?
15:29Seriously, Lewis, enough now.
15:32Let's go.
15:34OK, well...
15:37Thanks anyway.
15:40It's a lovely place.
15:55The physical and emotional rigours of an IVF journey
15:58aren't ones to be underestimated.
16:01The toll it takes on your body can be quite profound.
16:04Yeah, I know.
16:06And, of course, there's a serious financial burden
16:08that you need to consider,
16:10especially if the cost falls on you alone.
16:12I can find the money.
16:14On average, our patients undergo
16:16around three rounds of treatment,
16:18which can cost you upwards of £30,000,
16:20with no guarantee of success.
16:23Well, it's just money, right?
16:25I...
16:25I just don't want to give you false hope.
16:27Look, I know the odds are against me,
16:29but I want this more than anything.
16:31It's all I've ever wanted, so I've...
16:32I've got to try.
16:35Look, I'm not stupid.
16:36Sarah.
16:37Well, we know that.
16:39And I know how hard it's going to be
16:40and how slim the odds are,
16:41but I just...
16:41I need you to give me a chance.
16:44Well, first things first,
16:46let's assess your egg reserve, OK?
16:49I could do a full physical exam tomorrow,
16:51take some bloods,
16:52and we'll go from there.
16:55Don't thank me just yet.
16:56This is the first step of a very, very long journey.
17:03What do you mean the insurance doesn't cover it?
17:05What is the point in having it?
17:07Um...
17:08I mean, it's a total racket.
17:10She's having to pay for tanks or water for livestock.
17:12You won't believe how much sheep can drink.
17:14Yeah, all right, Belle.
17:15I'm sorry.
17:18What are you having, Trace?
17:20Nothing, thanks.
17:21Just brought this back.
17:22Eve lent Frankie it.
17:24Little outfit for dress-up day.
17:26Oh, cute.
17:27I know, I should have slept in it if I had a letter.
17:31Belle said you've still not heard from Nate.
17:33Nope.
17:35That'll peep.
17:38I mean, what is he playing at?
17:40Poor Frankie's head's going to be fried, bless her.
17:42Sorry, sort of as a brick, as per...
17:46No, you've not said anything, I haven't thought myself.
17:49You're a great mum.
17:50She's going to be all right.
17:51Yeah, I'll make sure I've it.
17:54And take it through yourself, around the back.
17:57Thanks.
18:07Drink.
18:08It's fine, I'll go.
18:09Red wine, please.
18:11Actually, I'm going to get a large one.
18:12He's paying.
18:13Yeah.
18:14Mackle.
18:15Mine's a boo.
18:16Cheers, pal.
18:18Did you hear that from the insurance?
18:21Mm-hm.
18:21It was a flat no.
18:23So, I'm out of options.
18:26I really am so sorry.
18:28He stopped saying sorry.
18:30Well, you know if there's anything that I can do?
18:31Well, the damage is done, Mackenzie.
18:33So, you're just going to have to learn to live with it.
18:40Thanks for coming with me.
18:47Aw, no thanks necessary.
18:49So, what do you fancy?
18:50Green tea?
18:50Builders?
18:51Have you got anything chocolatey?
18:52I fancy celebrating.
18:56What?
18:58Nothing.
18:59I, um...
18:59I just...
19:01I don't want you getting your hopes up too high.
19:03I was there, you know.
19:04I was listening.
19:04Don't you think it's time to talk to your mum?
19:07Or charity?
19:09Why?
19:10Oh, apart from the fact that they're your family and they're going to want to support you,
19:13there is the small matter of funding things if you're able to go ahead.
19:16Right, just let me get tomorrow out of the way.
19:17You know what they're like?
19:18I just want this one thing to myself for a bit.
19:20Plus, you heard what Dr Knapp said.
19:21The chance is a tiny of anything actually happening, so...
19:24Oh, so you were actually listening then?
19:27Yes.
19:28But then again, I have spent half my life to find the odds,
19:30so who's to say I won't do it again?
19:37Hey.
19:38I'll get you home soon.
19:39Don't you worry, mate.
19:41Get you in your gym gems, film on...
19:44world's biggest bucket of ice cream.
19:49I'll soon forget any of this ever happened.
19:53Hey.
19:55You've been a good boy.
19:56He has been a...
19:58cheeky little monkey.
19:59Oh, really?
20:00He's definitely on the men, then.
20:02What did the doctor say?
20:04That they're cautiously optimistic,
20:06but he's off the drip now.
20:08Yeah, and he's got much better colour as well.
20:10Might even get a treat if he's lucky.
20:12A puppy.
20:13Oh, the campaign continues.
20:17Come on, my love.
20:19Try and come back to us.
20:21I know you can do it.
20:23The doctor said you managed to move a finger.
20:26They're all very happy with you.
20:28But can you do it again for your old mum?
20:33Just give me a sign.
20:37Anything they'll do.
20:40Squeeze my hand.
20:44Any idea when he'll be discharged?
20:46No, they didn't say.
20:47But they want to keep an eye on him.
20:49Belt and braces.
20:50But,
20:51if he's a very good boy,
20:52he might be able to come home soon.
20:54Yeah, that's great news, isn't it?
20:57Get out of here as soon as possible, eh?
21:01We made it through the storm.
21:08And you know John's coming in?
21:10I saw him downstairs.
21:12He said he'd come.
21:13Hey, do you?
21:14Let's go.
21:19Let's go.
21:20Let's go.
21:20Mas Eric.
21:21Let's go.
21:21Let's go.
21:22Let's go.
21:22Let's go.
21:23It's at two pisces musical.
21:24Let's go.
21:25Let's go.
21:25Let's go.
