00:00Cows won't feed themselves out there.
00:25Yeah, I know, I'm gonna do it.
00:26Do you want me to?
00:27No.
00:28I could do with some air.
00:32Well, once you get out there and you see the view...
00:36Seriously?
00:38Look, just hear me out, will you?
00:41Just listen, please.
00:43I'm trying to figure out what the cost of this fine's gonna be.
00:47And even though Harry's on the mend, the main water supply's still off, so...
00:51The emergency supply's been fine.
00:52Aye, so far.
00:53And they might be able to...
00:54Ken, you said you would listen!
00:56So if the fine's gonna be like 20 or 50 grand, we don't have it, do we?
01:02God, I was so keen to see the back of last year after having the tumour and now I've got to deal with all this mess.
01:08Oh, and on top of that, I've got...
01:10I've got Lewis turning up asking questions about Emma and Adam.
01:12Well, you still think Ross wants a relationship with him?
01:14Yes!
01:15God knows what I'm gonna say to him if he comes back.
01:20Anyway...
01:23The animals need feeding, so I'll feed them.
01:29It's just...
01:35The whole thing just feels so...
01:38Sour, you know?
01:41I still wanna be here.
01:46Yeah, well, if Harry's coming out tomorrow, what is wrong with promising him ice cream when he gets back?
01:58It's a celebration.
01:59You don't get the filthy looks off the dentist.
02:02Must be great to be the dazzling uncle.
02:04Well, it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.
02:09Hey.
02:11Hey, come here.
02:12Come here.
02:13Come here.
02:17He's gonna be just fine.
02:20What if tomorrow's too soon?
02:23Well, I have to admit, they know what they're doing.
02:25They wouldn't let him out if he wasn't ready and they know that I work in the surgery just up the road from you.
02:30So we've got it all covered.
02:31I thought I was gonna lose him.
02:35And a couple of days ago, he was driving me spare.
02:38He'll be just the same when he gets back, I promise you.
02:42I've left his colouring book in the van. I'll just pop back and get it.
02:46You'd forget your head.
02:47Male menopause.
02:50I was just searching for your number, then I remembered you didn't give me it.
02:54Yeah, I'm always losing my phone.
02:57You didn't come back yesterday.
02:59I told you my nephew was ill.
03:03You said they had news.
03:05He's woken up.
03:07They've settled him. I've got to go. I'll see you later.
03:10Is he talking?
03:12Is he talking, Kathleen?
03:15Your friend not with you today?
03:16No, I'm used to being in hospital on my own. You know, doctors and tests.
03:21Like a home from home.
03:23Yeah, but I've never had a pelvic examination before, so no Vanessa today.
03:27Well, she wouldn't have to be in the room with you.
03:29I know, but she'd still be on the other side of that door. What if I have Yelp or something?
03:33Well, I haven't had a woman Yelp yet.
03:34Not yet.
03:35Right, well that's good to know.
03:37So the speculum can be uncomfortable for some women.
03:40It comes in all different sizes.
03:41I'll take my time and you'll be happy to know I have done thousands of pelvic examinations.
03:46Yeah, and I suppose I've had thousands of invasive tests, so bring it on.
03:50How do you even end up doing this as a job?
03:54To prove everyone wrong.
03:57Long story, you get changed and I'll see you in a bit.
04:11Hey.
04:13Hey, Harry's coming out tomorrow?
04:15Yeah, just getting him some treats.
04:17What a relief.
04:18And apparently they're doing an inspection today just to make sure it's safe for everyone.
04:22Myra tell you that.
04:24Sam.
04:26Cain and Moira are like the closest family I've got.
04:29Yeah, I know.
04:30I know, sorry.
04:31I know that none of this is your fault.
04:33I'm just glad that Harry's getting better.
04:36Yeah.
04:37Bit shattered.
04:39Can I say something to try and make you smile?
04:42Yes, please.
04:43Eric's ended up with a million gallons of bottled water
04:46since they put the emergency supply on yesterday.
04:49He was hoping this would go on for weeks.
04:51Typical Eric.
04:53I told him I'd bath in it if I could afford the lucky to heat it.
04:56Well, you could have a nice bath.
04:58I didn't realise things are actually that bad.
04:59Oh, well.
05:01Belle was in here yesterday when my card got declined.
05:06Yes, I'm skint, but, er, well, I'm not destitute yet.
05:09And everyone's skint, aren't they?
05:11Maybe except for Nate.
05:13I mean, he's still not paying me a penny in maintenance.
05:16I don't know how you sell their back.
05:17I'm not.
05:18I'm just exhausted.
05:20I haven't got the time or the money to be chasing him round.
05:23I've just got to keep going.
05:26Keep thinking of new lies to tell Frankie.
05:29You're such a good dad, though.
05:31Or maybe that's just what you wanted people to think.
05:33Come on.
05:35We've all been played for fools by men.
05:38Oh, I didn't mean that you were a fool with Tom.
05:40I know.
05:41Oh, gosh.
05:43Can we just forget that and go back to laughing at Eric?
05:52Just whenever you're ready.
05:59You really are an expert.
06:00I hardly felt a thing.
06:02Come and take a seat.
06:05Erm, I know I might need an egg donation as well as everything else,
06:07but, erm, what do you think?
06:08Plenty of time to talk about all of that.
06:10Just have some immediate questions first, OK?
06:13So, after sex or between periods, do you ever have any bleed through?
06:18Erm, yeah, a bit.
06:20I think, I don't know, why is it a problem?
06:22Probably not.
06:23Just when I was examining your cervix, I found a little area of inflammation.
06:27Right, well, I never have any pain, if that's what you mean.
06:30Good to know, but we do need to check the bleeding, OK?
06:34Why, do you think there's something wrong?
06:35Is hers this basic because of what she did?
06:40I don't know what to say, mate.
06:42I don't really come here that often.
06:44I'm not really a graveyard or tidying type.
06:48It doesn't look good, being dead religious and not having a decent gravestone.
06:51She's not dead religious any more.
06:53Now she's just dead.
06:54She's just dead.
06:58Sorry.
06:59It's the thing about me, I make jokes when I shouldn't.
07:03I wish you'd said you were coming today, mate.
07:05I don't like upsetting people.
07:07You're not upsetting anyone.
07:08You chucked me out yesterday.
07:10Sorry about that.
07:11It's just that Moira, she's going through a really hard time at the minute.
07:15It wasn't personal.
07:18Let me give you a hand.
07:20Are you trying to get round me?
07:22I know this must still be a head scramble.
07:24It is for me.
07:26But the reason I don't like coming here is...
07:28Well, to be honest, it's because I don't like thinking about it.
07:31Her.
07:32Dad.
07:33Finn.
07:35You would have got on really well with him.
07:37He was a good kid.
07:39And what about her?
07:40Was there actually any good in her?
07:44She was a good nurse.
07:46Some people liked her.
07:47Which only goes to show that you never really know who anybody is
07:50or what they're capable of.
07:52Am I like her?
07:56Lucky for you now.
07:59Now come on.
08:00Let's go for a wander.
08:01Then we'll go to the pub.
08:03Okay.
08:04The thing is, though, mate,
08:05is that a little bit skint at the minute.
08:07We'll have tap water.
08:09Ah, but the village water's off.
08:11Ah, the emergency supply's on.
08:13Shouldn't I, Ross?
08:17My God.
08:19You really are like Finn.
08:25Everything in my life, it's like...
08:27I can't have anything without there being something to spoil it.
08:31Do you think I've got cancer?
08:33Well, let's not jump ahead of ourselves, okay?
08:35There are many simple reasons for inflammation.
08:38But why hasn't it been picked up before?
08:39I mean, it's not going to have tests every few months with my fanconia anemia.
08:43Well, women aren't normally called for a smear test until 25.
08:45Yeah, but I'm not normal, am I?
08:47I'm sorry this is distressing you, Sarah, but please try not to worry.
08:51I can't tell for definite what's going on just by looking at your cervix, so...
08:56I'd like to book you in for a biopsy, just to get a better understanding of what's happening here,
09:00and we can go from there.
09:01We'll get the results as quickly as possible.
09:04And it's none of my business, but maybe bring your friend next time.
09:08I'm sorry.
09:22Aidan?
09:24Can you hear me, Aidan?
09:27No, it's okay.
09:30Because I think you can.
09:53Just relax, relax.
10:06Don't force anything.
10:10John!
10:12I'm so glad you're here.
10:15He's been getting distressed.
10:17Well, with a brain injury, it's to be expected.
10:19I'm here.
10:25Yes, love.
10:28Well, he knows you.
10:30He hasn't spoken to me yet, but yes, of course he does.
10:34I'm his mother, I've been with him every day for years.
10:38Don't you worry, I'm here.
10:41And John's with me.
10:43Look, here he is.
10:45Let's not pressure him, okay?
10:46You know him better than anyone.
10:50You know what he's like.
10:51He'd want us to push him to come back to himself.
10:56You and John were so in love, you got engaged.
11:00Look at him, sweetheart.
11:02Tell me you remember him.
11:05Maybe I should go.
11:06I've got no-one else.
11:08Just five more minutes.
11:10Yeah, of course.
11:12I'll stay.
11:14Thank you so much.
11:16Finally!
11:18I thought you were avoiding me.
11:19Oh, no, it just took ages to get back from Leeds.
11:20I'd offer you a cup of tea, but even with the emergency water on, I've still not got any milk.
11:33What a dope.
11:34Oh, we have Gowan's ours.
11:35Grant is obsessed with calcium.
11:37Oh, she's at that difficult age, bone density-wise.
11:39You tell her I said that, she'll take your head off.
11:43Go on, I dare you.
11:46Go on, then.
11:47I'm surprised you've been able to hold it in this long.
11:50Trace is out if that's what you're worried about.
11:53Matt, was it okay?
11:54I know tests like this can be a bit daunting.
11:57Nope, the appointment went great.
11:59Really?
12:00Yeah, it's definitely not a no, and I could probably carry a baby.
12:03They've just got a few more tests they need to do, but honestly, it went like a dream.
12:07Oh, that's amazing, Sarah!
12:09So, you sure about keeping it a secret?
12:11You did say you'd tell Charity once you got today out of the way,
12:15and you've been so clear about explaining everything.
12:17I'm sure they'll get it.
12:19Yeah, look, I know what's said, but please just let me do this next set of tests.
12:22Okay.
12:23But I'm coming with you next time.
12:24I felt proper guilty you were going on your own today.
12:26Look, I'm better on my own. Honestly, I'm so used to it.
12:28Yeah, for your Fanconi anaemia, not fertility.
12:32Right, well, I'll let you know when my next appointment is then.
12:35Great. Don't be scared.
12:37Ooh, what an adventure!
12:42Has anyone else got sick? Please, you know.
12:45I mean, things are calming down now, thankfully.
12:48Claudette was poorly, but she's back at work now,
12:49so I'm just grabbing a bit of time to myself.
12:51But, yeah, it's been one hell of a week.
12:54A lot of up-chucking to deal with.
12:56Yeah, well, it's my fault. Hold my hands up.
13:01I've dealt with that slurry tanker a million times before,
13:04but I've no idea how that happened.
13:06Mackenzie, I have just come for a quiet drink.
13:09Sorry. Sorry.
13:11There's no use in going over and over it.
13:13He's the guy who sorts the allotments.
13:19Great.
13:22Free Bay, and I won't mention that you've been poisoning kids.
13:26Everyone already knows.
13:28He doesn't.
13:29Who's that?
13:30My long-lost brother, Lewis.
13:33Oh, poor lad.
13:35Lewis, is it?
13:37Yeah.
13:39Hi, Mackenzie. Nice to meet you.
13:41I'm the guy that's made everyone sick.
13:43Okay.
13:45I'm not a liar.
13:47Secret baby.
13:49But I'm also not a blackmailer.
13:51See, your gorgeous brother here has been trying to wangle free beers
13:53in exchange for silence, but I've told you myself.
13:56If you're that poor, I can lend you some money.
13:58Er, I'm not a tramp.
14:00Don't show me up.
14:01Still got my pride.
14:05He wants to know how much.
14:07He's funnier than you, Ross.
14:09Anyway, erm, I'm gonna go speak to the garden guy.
14:12Bring them over when they're ready, please.
14:15Two beers, then.
14:17He's a nice guy.
14:19Nothing like you.
14:29So, can you remember being in the army with John?
14:33Tell him, John.
14:35Kathleen, he's only just woken up.
14:37I know.
14:39Have they, erm...
14:41Have they said what his chances of things coming back are?
14:44Well, they said he wouldn't wake up, but he has.
14:50Oh, what are you doing?
14:52Please, just hold his hand so he knows you're here.
14:55It's not like you haven't before.
14:56It will come back to you.
14:59Just try.
15:01John and you were inseparable.
15:03Kathleen, he's, erm...
15:05He's too tired for this right now.
15:07Let's, erm...
15:08Let's have a word.
15:19I know I seem horrible and cruel, but...
15:22I thought there'd be more.
15:23Any good mum would be the same, and you are good, and he is so lucky.
15:33And this might seem hard right now, but...
15:36You're gonna have to accept that there will be parts of his life that he won't recall.
15:41Oh, I should be stronger for you, I'm sorry.
15:47The doctors have said there may be nothing there at all.
15:54You're medical, please tell me they're wrong.
15:56Where there's life, there's hope.
16:01You know, this might sound weak, but...
16:06I don't know how much longer I can do this for.
16:09You've done so much...
16:12...already.
16:16I suppose there's no point in...
16:18...both of us waiting forever.
16:19The boy's working her fingers to the bone out there.
16:22Not that's gonna make any difference to the find.
16:23Where's Matt?
16:24He's working at the pub.
16:25And when he's here, he's in the top field avoiding Moira, cos he's feeling guilty.
16:26Well, Harry comes out tomorrow.
16:27I'll text her, I'll let him know.
16:28No, no, don't do that.
16:29He grafts a lot harder when he's feeling guilty.
16:31You're terrible.
16:32Yeah, and you're always helping people.
16:34No, I'm not.
16:36What are you doing?
16:37The boy's working her fingers to the bone out there.
16:40I don't think it's gonna make any difference to the find.
16:42Where's Matt?
16:44He's working at the pub.
16:45And when he's here, he's in the top field avoiding Moira, cos he's feeling guilty.
16:50Well, Harry comes out tomorrow.
16:51I'll text her, I'll let him know.
16:52No, no, don't do that.
16:54He grafts a lot harder when he's feeling guilty.
16:55You're terrible.
16:56Yeah, and you're always helping people.
16:57You're not helping people.
16:58No, I'm not.
16:59So what are you after?
17:04I've come to see you because I am going to head to Scotland.
17:08Why?
17:09To try and track down Nate.
17:11Because I don't think he's just abandoned Frankie.
17:14It's not like it's out of sight, out of mind.
17:16That's his little girl and he darts on her.
17:18And yeah, okay, Tracy might have given up on him, but I just feel like I can help him
17:21and I can get him in the family again.
17:23You're doing it again.
17:24Well, he's your son.
17:25Surely you want him back.
17:26Of course I do.
17:27Okay, sir.
17:28So, I rang him on his birthday.
17:30Well, what did he say?
17:32Nothing.
17:33He's just hung up.
17:34I can take a hint.
17:36Look, if he comes back, we can talk things through.
17:39He's an adult.
17:40I've got to concentrate on Isaac and Kyle.
17:43Especially after what he's been through, you know?
17:45I don't want to go without your blessing.
17:48Me, you've got my blessing.
17:53Yeah, I've always been a keen gardener, but only really as an adult, not man and boy like you.
18:03Well, horticulture helps keep a quiet mind.
18:05I could not agree more.
18:07Have you considered doing a talk this season at the village hall?
18:12They are bald rigid with me wanging on about cabbage.
18:15I can't think why.
18:16Yeah, I'd love to.
18:18I've got loads of fascinating stuff on the go.
18:20Is it...
18:21Is it fascinating, though?
18:23Do you have a gardening girlfriend?
18:25Yeah.
18:26Very presumptuous of you, doctor.
18:28Just ignore him.
18:29He wants attention like a dog.
18:30I'm gay.
18:31No boyfriend currently.
18:33Anyway, I've studied complimentary stuff for ages.
18:36Especially medicinal cannabis and mushrooms.
18:39Oh.
18:42Oh, that's my cue to leave.
18:44Claudette demands my presence, and her bite is as bad as her bark.
18:49But this has been fascinating.
18:50We should pick it up another time.
18:51Maybe without the cannabis bit.
18:53When you come to the allotment, there is a spade with your name on it.
18:57See you there.
18:59Oh, that got rid of him.
19:04I like him.
19:05Oh, well, you're welcome to him.
19:07I can't stick him.
19:08Now, when you say mushrooms and cannabis, how much have you got exactly?
19:14And exactly where is it?
19:17And do you have a partner, or is it just you?
19:19You ask a lot of questions.
19:21So, is it my turn to get the next round in?
19:24Your wipers were on their last legs, there was no screen wash at all.
19:53And...
19:54And have you checked your tire pressure?
19:55Yes, I have.
19:56Ah, some good news.
19:59They've rerouted the water supply, so we shouldn't need the emergency water after today.
20:03Normal service will resume, hopefully.
20:06Hey, what brings you here?
20:08I'm heading to Scotland.
20:10Gonna try to find it.
20:12And if I do...
20:14Ask him what the hell he's playing at.
20:16Tell him that his daughter misses him, and that we need him back here on the farm,
20:19and obviously tell him that I'm sorry.
20:21Yeah, and please explain to him about me having the brain tumour and how sorry we both are.
20:26But you're good with him.
20:27What, and I'm not?
20:28I'm better.
20:29Yeah, just make him see sense.
20:31I will try.
20:32Ah-ha.
20:33I thought I was gonna see you earlier.
20:37Sorry, I, er, got caught up at the hospital.
20:40What with?
20:41Oh, just Victoria and Harry.
20:43He's, er, he's coming home tomorrow.
20:45Yeah, I've already told them.
20:46Sorry if I stole your thunder.
20:47No, honestly, nothing could take the shine off today.
20:49Well, if you're here to work, do you fancy brew first?
20:52Please.
20:53I'm, er, on leave from the surgery, so two whole days you got me for?
20:56You'll be sick of the sight of me.
20:58We'll leave you to it.
21:00I'll see you later, Bill.
21:01See you.
21:02Bye.
21:03I just can't stop thinking about walking into that wedding with Nate.
21:14How happy Aaron will be.
21:15You're that confident?
