00:30I couldn't sleep.
00:42No wonder.
00:45Big day ahead, eh?
00:51I love this time of the morning.
00:53It's peaceful.
00:56Yeah, calm before the storm, eh?
01:00I can leave you alone if you want.
01:03No, don't be daft.
01:04As long as you're sure.
01:06I am.
01:08Can't believe the operation's today.
01:11Try not to worry too much.
01:13Easier said than done.
01:15I know it's daunting.
01:17But you'll be in good hands.
01:19And then tomorrow is the first day of your recovery.
01:23And you've got Bernard Blueberry to see you through.
01:26Thanks.
01:27Yeah, I mean it.
01:29Thanks for everything, you know, being a brilliant friend and giving me a little bit of hope.
01:33It's the least you deserve.
01:36Let's just get through today.
01:38And then we can start looking forward.
01:40Nice words, Dr Gallagher.
01:43I do try.
01:44No.
01:55No.
01:56No, please.
01:58Please don't.
02:05Hey.
02:06Hey, you're okay.
02:08You're okay.
02:11You're home.
02:12And you're safe.
02:17You're safe.
02:24Taken up fortune time, have you?
02:27Mum, don't be leaving all that rubbish.
02:29Well, please look for Sarah in there.
02:32Home safe and well.
02:33No leaves with bags.
02:35No.
02:36I know that.
02:36I just...
02:37She's gonna be alright, you know.
02:42Where is she anyway?
02:44She was up early.
02:46She's probably gonna have to clear her head or something.
02:49Listen.
02:50No mention of babies today whatsoever, okay?
02:56Guess who I found wandering the streets.
02:59Well, I mean, hardly wandering.
03:02How are you feeling?
03:02I'll be at the hospital, you know, when you come round.
03:07Well, imagine that.
03:09Seeing his ugly mug when he come round from the anaesthetic.
03:13You finish packing?
03:14I mean.
03:28What's up, Mr. P?
03:29Beg your pardon?
03:30I do like the till with that on.
03:32Er, help is at hand if needed.
03:35No pun intended.
03:36Is Jakey round?
03:38Er, he's popped out. Can I help?
03:41I was just wondering about Sarah.
03:44What about Sarah?
03:45Her operation.
03:47I didn't want to be asking her a million questions today,
03:49so I thought Jacob might be the man with the tea.
03:51Well, erm...
03:54Perhaps I could help. What do you wish to know?
03:56How long it'll take.
03:58What they're doing.
04:00You always think the worst with cancer.
04:02Cancer?
04:04I thought you'd know.
04:06I shouldn't have said anything.
04:08I just thought with her and Jacob being so close,
04:10and, you know, them talking about acting bambinos and that.
04:13Acting bambinos?
04:16Maybe I'll come back later.
04:18No, no, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait.
04:20What do you mean?
04:22Hey, what's this about Sarah?
04:24Cancer operation? Bambinos?
04:27I thought you'd have told him.
04:30It's nothing, Grandad.
04:32It doesn't sound like nothing to me.
04:34Just remembered.
04:36I need to be somewhere.
04:38Sorry, mate.
04:44Hey.
04:46You okay?
04:47Yeah, I'm good.
04:48Because that earlier, it's a lot.
04:51I'm fine.
04:53I thought we could go for lunch today.
04:55Me, you and John.
04:57Might help take your mind off things.
04:59Seeing you two starting to get along and putting this daft feud behind you.
05:03Really means a lot to me.
05:05I know it does, yeah.
05:07It's like we can finally build on something now.
05:09Who knows, eh?
05:11So you're in then?
05:13Yeah.
05:15Why not?
05:16Because I've already messaged John and he's up for it.
05:18Oh, it sounds like I didn't really have much of a choice then.
05:20Oh.
05:21Well, I'll book a table at the Hyde.
05:23Okay.
05:24Nice one.
05:25Thanks, Robert, for trying.
05:27I really appreciate it.
05:29Mmm.
05:30This tea is simply wonderful.
05:41In fact, it may just be the best tea I've ever tasted.
05:46Now, would you care for another slice of cake?
05:50Yes, please, Grandad.
05:52Ah, can I interest you in a slice of cake?
05:55Erm, I think I'd be more interested to know why Eve's not at school.
05:59Who said anything about school?
06:01We did.
06:02When?
06:03Are you serious?
06:04Course I am.
06:05Dad, she was supposed to be there two hours ago and you said you'd drop her off.
06:08I thought I'd mind in a year for the day.
06:10Right, I'll take her.
06:12That's fine, I'll do it.
06:13Dad, honestly?
06:15We didn't discuss me dropping Eve off at school today.
06:18I can assure you of that.
06:20Okay.
06:21Well, it doesn't really matter.
06:22Eve, can you nip up and get your uniform on?
06:25I said I'd take her.
06:30Leave it.
06:31Got it.
06:32It's fine.
06:38You didn't think that you should discuss any of this with me?
06:43No, Grandad, I didn't.
06:45Jacob?
06:46Me and Sarah have only just decided ourselves.
06:49I was waiting for the right time.
06:51Oh, what?
06:52To tell me you were about to ruin your life?
06:55This is exactly why I didn't talk to you.
06:58I thought that you and Sarah were no longer an item anymore.
07:04We're not an item.
07:05But you are going to have a baby?
07:08Yeah, through IVF.
07:10So you're not romantically involved, but you're planning to offer you all?
07:15Yes.
07:16I'm going to donate sperm.
07:17Today, actually.
07:18This is totally absurd!
07:20It really isn't, Grandad.
07:22When did you come up with this ludicrous idea?
07:24What difference does that make?
07:27Listen, Sarah's got a big operation to get through today.
07:31And once she's recovered,
07:33I've promised I'll help her at least try to become a mum.
07:36It's the one thing she really wants,
07:38and I will not be letting her down.
07:40Not for you.
07:41Not for anybody.
07:54Are you awake?
07:57I'm just manifesting.
08:00Ooh.
08:01Okay.
08:02I'll manifest Brad Pitt on a beach in the Maldives.
08:05How long till it works?
08:07It's got to be something realistic.
08:09Thanks.
08:10Brad Pitt's an old man anyway.
08:12He's not that old.
08:14I was imagining me with my baby.
08:17Has the surgeon not been over yet?
08:20No.
08:21Hey.
08:22Where's this from?
08:25Jacob got me it for luck.
08:27Oh, it's like that little one you used to have when you were little.
08:31Bernard Blue Bear.
08:32Yes, him!
08:33Oh, very cute.
08:35Who, Jacob or the bear?
08:37The bear.
08:38Obvs.
08:39He reckons I could give it to the baby if it happened.
08:42Aw.
08:43No-one gets your grapes anymore, do they?
08:46Grapes and Lucas Aid.
08:47That's all you're used to get in hospitals.
08:49What?
08:52Just you.
08:53You're amazing, you know.
08:56Why, thank you.
08:58I'm serious.
08:59Earlier I was wishing my mum was here and then I thought, do you know what, I don't actually
09:03need her because you're more of a mum to me than she's ever been and the best, in fact.
09:08Oh, Sarah, that's a lovely thing to say.
09:11Oh, it's the truth, Owen.
09:12I just...
09:13I need you to know that.
09:18What if something goes wrong today?
09:20Hey!
09:21Is Sarah done?
09:22Oh.
09:23What if they find out that the cancer's spread?
09:43So you're clear on what you have to do today?
09:45Pretty much.
09:47Okay.
09:51I just want Billy put in his place.
09:54For good, okay?
09:56He's got right under your skin, eh?
09:59Mind you, I'd be doing more than keying cars and nicking tablets if you'd have done the dirty with my missus.
10:04Well, I'm not paying you for your opinion.
10:06I just want you to teach him a lesson.
10:08That's what we're talking.
10:09A few slaps.
10:10Whatever it takes.
10:11Just within reason.
10:12That means different things to different people.
10:16I want him to be scared.
10:19Scared enough to know that he can't just do whatever he wants all the time.
10:22Just don't go overboard.
10:25And the money?
10:26You'll get it.
10:27When?
10:28When the job's done.
10:31Right, I'll get going.
10:33Jacob.
10:35Wait.
10:37I want to know that you've, er, fully considered all of this.
10:42Trust me, I have.
10:43I told you we both have.
10:45And what if Sarah gets seriously ill?
10:48Grandad.
10:49Or worse.
10:52I know this is probably a bit of a shock for you.
10:55Are you prepared to be the sole carer of a baby at your age?
11:00If it comes down to it, yeah.
11:03But Sarah will be around for years.
11:05And who knows what medical advances might happen in the meantime.
11:08She really wants to try and have a child of her own.
11:12And there's no guarantee she'll even get pregnant.
11:15But right now, today, I want her to at least have hope.
11:19It's the least she deserves.
11:20Yeah.
11:22I wonder what your mum would have thought about all this.
11:28Maybe she'd be proud of me.
11:30Excited, even.
11:31At the prospect of being a grandmother at her age?
11:35I doubt it.
11:38I guess we'll never know.
11:41They won't.
11:43See ya.
11:48It's only natural.
11:49You're gonna worry about every possibility.
11:52But I've got a feeling everything's gonna be just fine.
11:55Based on what, exactly?
11:57I dunno. Intuition.
11:58Whatever.
12:00How do you do it?
12:02What?
12:03Be so strong all the time.
12:05I wish.
12:06No, you are, though.
12:07When it really matters, you're always there for me.
12:10Instinct, I suppose.
12:13You know, all I've ever wanted to do is protect you.
12:16Yeah, I know that.
12:18And days like these, when it's out of my hands, yeah, I can't lie, it's difficult.
12:22But those doctors and nurses out there, they are amazing and they know exactly what they're doing.
12:27Yeah, Jacob said the same.
12:29Well, Jacob's right, isn't he?
12:35I just want this all to be over with now, so I can start the IVF.
12:42What was that look for?
12:46What look?
12:48That look?
12:50Sarah, I don't know what you're on about.
12:52You still don't think this is a good idea, do you?
12:54No, I didn't say that.
12:55Yeah, well, you didn't need to.
12:57Sarah...
12:58Gran, I thought you were on board.
13:00I am.
13:01Well, you're not, though, are you?
13:02Not really.
13:03Let's just focus on today, okay?
13:06Cos all I really care about right now is getting you home safe and well.
13:09Why not just say what you actually think?
13:11Because, Sarah, you're about to have a very important operation, so this can wait.
13:15Me trying for a baby is also important, you know?
13:19Gran, please, I need to know that you're on board with this.
13:24Well, here we are.
13:28It's nice.
13:29Hmm.
13:31Here we are, indeed.
13:33Order whatever you want, by the way.
13:35It's my shout.
13:36No, no, no, you don't have to do that.
13:37Yeah, I do.
13:38It's my idea.
13:39Plus, it gets to have discount.
13:42Well, we can split it.
13:44No.
13:45It's my treat, I insist.
13:47Fair enough.
13:49Thanks, Vic.
13:51I just thought it'd be nice.
13:53You know, a chance for us to spend some time together.
14:02So, John.
14:03Er, how's your morning been?
14:05Fine, fine.
14:06Yeah, er, not really been up to much.
14:09Er, you?
14:11Same.
14:15Why don't I order us a bottle of wine?
14:18Yeah, sounds good to me.
14:19And me.
14:26I couldn't care less what you did this morning.
14:28Trust me, the feeling's mutual.
14:30We eat lunch, we make some more talk and then we leave, alright?
14:33Sounds good to me.
14:34If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here.
14:36You and me both.
14:38All looks very cosy over there.
14:40Do you reckon?
14:41Yeah.
14:42You've done well, getting those two at the same table, being civil.
14:44Er, maybe.
14:46You're not convinced?
14:47I just feel like they're playing along for my benefit.
14:51Well, at least they're making the effort, though.
14:53Yeah.
14:54Yeah, I suppose.
14:55And they've not strangled each other.
14:56Yet.
14:57We haven't even ordered our starters.
14:59Why can you not just say what you actually think?
15:05Because it's your decision, Sarah.
15:06It doesn't matter what I think.
15:08Grant, of course it does.
15:09I need you to be on my side.
15:11I am on your side.
15:13I am on your side.
15:15Always.
15:16You know that.
15:17So have you changed your mind or...
15:19all this time you were just pretending?
15:21Please stop.
15:22I wasn't pretending.
15:23Right, well it seems like it to me.
15:26Why pay for the eggs harvesting?
15:28Why come to all of the appointments?
15:29Cos I was trying to support you.
15:30Support?
15:31You call that support lying?
15:33No, I wasn't lying.
15:34No?
15:35Maybe I've just accepted that some things are out of my control.
15:38Okay?
15:39And that you're an adult who has to make her own decisions.
15:41Alright?
15:42I just wish you could understand, and I mean properly understand,
15:45what it's like to want something this badly.
15:47I'm doing my best, Sarah. I promise.
15:49Counting every single minute.
15:51When it feels like time is running out on everything.
15:54You're right, I don't understand.
15:56And I never will.
15:57Not truly.
15:58Not in the way you do.
16:00And I'm sorry.
16:01I'm...
16:02I'm really sorry.
16:04But this isn't the time to be discussing this.
16:07So please, can we just leave it for now?
16:23Hey.
16:24Any news on Sarah yet?
16:26Er, yeah.
16:27She'll be going to theatre round about now.
16:29Ah.
16:30A few hours, right?
16:31That's what they said.
16:33Mm.
16:34Keyhole first.
16:35Prepping for the trachelectomy.
16:39What?
16:40Lymphodynectomy after that.
16:42Oh, aye.
16:43I did a bit of Googling.
16:44Did you?
16:45Yeah.
16:46Yeah.
16:47Listen, mate.
16:48I'm just waiting for a takeaway pizza, so you can spare me the amateur medic routine.
16:53Okay?
16:54You know, I'd be a boss doctor to me.
16:57A surgeon, probably.
16:59Saving lives.
17:01Women falling at my feet.
17:02Do you know there's absolutely nothing wrong with just admitting that you're worried.
17:06We all are.
17:09Yeah.
17:10You're right.
17:11Just take it easy.
17:13Okay?
17:17Relax.
17:18Sit back.
17:19There's nothing that any of us can do.
17:20She's gonna be fine.
17:22Okay?
17:23I feel bad for Gabby, working on her own.
17:29That's not your problem.
17:31Yeah, he's right.
17:32Just relax and enjoy your lunch.
17:35Is this you two ganging up on me?
17:38Synchronised smiles.
17:40Very cute.
17:41You hear the stories, don't you?
17:42Have separated siblings and they still have the same instincts.
17:45Yeah, I think that's twins.
17:47Is it?
17:48Yes.
17:49Well, anyway, you should find stuff that you've got in common.
17:52Like a hobby or something.
17:54Look, I need to focus on finding a job first.
17:57Why don't you ask here?
18:01I'm not sure.
18:02I'm right for the hospitality business.
18:04Why not?
18:05It wouldn't have to be forever.
18:06You would be brilliant in here.
18:11I doubt Gabby would even consider me.
18:13That's gotta be worth a shot, hasn't it?
18:15I would strike all the irons hot if I were you.
18:17Could I ask?
18:18No.
18:19Go for it.
18:22Just be confident you've got this.
18:27Robert is wondering if you've got any jobs going.
18:30It's just a thought.
18:32Erm, I don't think we're taking anyone on at the minute.
18:34But I thought we were short staffed.
18:36Yeah, we're also short on cash.
18:38Oh well.
18:39Nothing ventured, nothing gained, eh?
18:44I wonder how long they're gonna be.
18:49I know what you're trying to do.
18:50What?
18:51Making small talk, trying to change the subject.
18:52I told you, Sarah.
18:53It's not the time.
18:54Look, we can talk about babies and IVF later.
18:55Well, I wanna talk about it now.
18:56Alright, well you're not thinking straight.
18:57I mean, the risks involved.
18:58The fanconia anemia, the cancer, carrying a baby, raising a child, baby's not a good idea.
19:03If anything happened to me, the baby would have Jacob.
19:04It's not just about that.
19:05Great, so what then?
19:06After the operation, you should be out there exploring the world, making the most of it.
19:12Oh, before I keel over and die.
19:13No, please don't say stuff like that.
19:15What if I had to do with you?
19:16It's not just about that.
19:17What?
19:18Because of the other time, you can talk about babies and IVF later.
19:20Well, I wanna talk about it now.
19:21All right, well you're not thinking straight.
19:22I mean, the risks involved.
19:23The fanconia anemia, the cancer, carrying a baby, raising a child.
19:26Baby's not a good idea.
19:27If anything happened to me, the baby would have Jacob.
19:28It's not just about that.
19:29Right, so what, then?
19:30No, please don't say stuff like that.
19:32What if I don't want to explore the world?
19:34What if all I want is to just have my own baby?
19:37You do know it's not all fun and giggles.
19:39And you don't think I know that?
19:42I practically raised Moses for you.
19:47I mean, at least you stop lying now. That's something, I suppose.
19:51Sarah...
19:52Do you know it's so typical of you to change your mind right now?
19:54I haven't changed my mind.
19:55I've always thought that.
19:57I'm just letting you have your little dream, no matter how stupid it is.
20:02Right, do you know what? I take back what I said earlier.
20:05And I do wish my mum was here.
20:07And you're not brilliant or amazing. You're absolutely rubbish and you always have been.
20:13Sorry to interrupt. It's time now.
20:17You think I'm just some stupid kid. Well, I'm not, right?
20:19And I deserve to be happy the same as everyone else.
20:22I think yes, you are just a kid, though, Sarah.
20:24So maybe it's about time you start manifesting some common sense
20:26and accept that you can never be a mum.
20:29Keep going, please.
20:30I've just got to go on.
20:33I've just got to go to the police.
20:34And I've just got to go on.
20:36I should do this.
20:37Would you like to take the police,
20:39and let me get to go in, please?
20:41Why did you have to go and say all that?
21:00I couldn't help it, OK? She was going at me.
21:02Could you just pretend for five minutes?
21:05I did try.
21:06Well, you should have tried harder.
21:08All right, Mr Diplomatic.
21:11You're the one who's been going along with this the whole time.
21:14It doesn't mean I actually believed what she was doing was a good idea.
21:17I just wanted to support her.
21:19Even if I didn't think it made any sense.
21:24I can't believe how badly I've messed this up.
21:28Don't be too hard on yourself.
21:30Let's just get her through this operation and get her home.
21:33And then we can worry about test tubes, babies, whatever, later.
21:37I don't think we're in a position to be dishing out advice, really, anyway, are we?
21:42We are, though.
21:44Are we?
21:46Got the benefit of wisdom and maturity, life experience.
21:53I mean, what she's going through now and then even considering putting her body through even more grief once this is over.
21:59It's absolute madness.
22:02She just wants something to look forward to.
22:04No, a trip to Oldham Towers is something to look forward to, Cain, isn't it?
22:08Not changing nappies and being woken up at 2am from some squawking kid.
22:13Well, I know that.
22:14You know that.
22:15But she doesn't.
22:18We can't live a life for her.
22:20Oh, no, we can't.
22:22I could swap places with her in a heartbeat if I could.
22:25Just a man.
22:40A man for what?
22:42We're a bit shorthanded at work.
22:44I need you in.
22:45No chance.
22:46Billy!
22:47It's my day off.
22:48It was your day off.
22:50You can't just a man that'll come into work.
22:51No-one's demanding anything.
22:53No?
22:54I'm politely asking.
22:56You know, we all need to be a bit more flexible in this modern world of employment.
23:00If we want to keep our jobs, that is.
23:02Oh, so you're threatening me now?
23:03No-one's threatening anything.
23:05I'm asking a favour from one valued colleague to another.
23:08I was just about to go for a run.
23:10Well, how about I, er, run you up to the depot?
23:13Please?
23:14Listen, I'll make it up to you.
23:16All right, but I really do need you up there.
23:19Sharpish.
23:19Not interrupting anything, am I?
23:34No, of course not.
23:35I, er, just wanted to let you know that I've, er, decided to move back up to Butler's permanently.
23:43It's not because of me, is it?
23:44No, no, no, of course not.
23:46Er, just feels a bit easier up there.
23:49Not quite so many memories.
23:51I get it, Matty.
23:52I really do.
23:53More space up there too, so it makes sense.
23:55I've been, er, thinking about tomorrow.
24:02Amy's birthday.
24:03You remembered.
24:04Of course I did.
24:06I might, er, do some hit, hire a bike from the hop like we did on our first date.
24:12Do you fancy joining me?
24:14Yeah.
24:15Yeah, that'd be lovely.
24:17Be a difficult day for you, that.
24:19Yeah.
24:20But we'll get through it together.
24:21Oh, thanks, mate.
24:25Right, well, er, best get back to it.
24:27Er, we've got an order going out this afternoon.
24:29It's chaos up there.
24:30Oh, so you're really busy then?
24:32Yeah, just today.
24:33It's, er, it's all a bit last minute.
24:35Well, do you need an extra pair of hands?
24:36Oh, what are you offering?
24:37Ha, no, not me, but...
24:39Vic.
24:41I reckon I might have a job trying to persuade more on that one.
24:45No, it's fine, honestly.
24:46But don't worry about it, I get it.
24:48Even if it's just for a day?
24:50I suppose I could ask, yeah.
24:52Er, are you available now?
24:54Er, yeah, I guess I could be, yeah.
24:57He is.
24:59Well, let's do it.
25:00Er, get yourself up to Butler's as soon as you can.
25:02We've got overalls and beets you can use, mate.
25:04Thanks, Matty.
25:06I'll see you up there.
25:09I know it's not ideal, but...
25:12it's a start.
25:14Dad was right, I'm not cut out for farming.
25:16Oh, what did he know?
25:18Everything, according to him.
25:20And to be fair, I think he might have had a point on this one.
25:22But it's only a few hours.
25:23You can at least give it a try.
25:25It'll give you a bit of cash
25:27and help take your mind off things.
25:30Robert, I'm really trying to help you here,
25:32but I need you to try too.
25:35Please.
25:35No, he swears he doesn't remember the conversation.
25:53I know.
25:55I know, I definitely told him.
25:57Right.
25:58Love you too.
25:59Bye.
26:00There you go.
26:04Everything all right?
26:05I'm not entirely sure, to be honest.
26:07Hmm.
26:08Well, that doesn't sound good.
26:09No.
26:10No.
26:11What's up?
26:13Oh, it's just my dad is behaving a bit oddly lately.
26:17Well, more oddly than usual.
26:19Hmm.
26:20In what way?
26:22It's probably nothing.
26:23But you think it might be?
26:24Yeah, he's grumpy all the time.
26:28He's having mood swings.
26:29He's forgetting stuff.
26:32Yeah, um, I can see why you might be worried.
26:36I thought it was depression,
26:38but I'm not sure if it's something else.
26:41Well, I wouldn't jump to any conclusions.
26:43No, I know, but I can't help wondering.
26:46Yeah, listen, I must admit,
26:47it does sound a bit like my dad.
26:49You know, back then, we ignored all the signs.
26:54We didn't really know what we were looking for,
26:56but I'm not saying that's what it is.
26:59Obviously, it's just...
27:00Have you managed to speak to him about it?
27:02Not really, no.
27:03He's pretty difficult to talk to lately.
27:06Oh.
27:07Well, if it was me, I really wouldn't wait.
27:11He should get checked out by a doctor as soon as possible.
27:13He should get checked out by a doctor.
27:43What's he doing here?
27:53I said he could have a side
27:53with that rush order this afternoon.
27:56Moira's OK with it, is she?
27:57She'll need to be, mate.
27:59We can't afford to lose any more business
28:00with that contamination fine.
28:03You couldn't find anybody else?
28:04Not unless you've got someone to mind.
28:07Listen, he's here.
28:08He's ready to start, and it's only a few hours.
28:11Oh, I'll let you be the one to tell Moira, then.
28:13I will. Don't worry.
28:15You better not cause any trouble.
28:17Hey, you know what he's like.
28:19I just want to do some work, get paid, and go home, all right?
28:22John's coming up to help later.
28:24And?
28:24And I didn't think there'd be much brother-in-law between the two of you.
28:28We're fine.
28:28You sure?
28:29Look, there's no problem there.
28:31You can ask him.
28:31Right.
28:32Well, that's sorted, then.
28:33It's getting cracking, eh?
28:34Ready when you are.
28:36Right.
28:37Why did I have to go and leave things like that?
28:48Right before our operation.
28:50Well, there's nothing you can do about it now.
28:54What if something happens to her in there?
28:57Don't go there.
28:57Oh, no, I'll never forgive myself.
28:59You just need to keep calm.
29:03You can sort her out with her when she comes round.
29:07Why can't I be one of those calm people?
29:10You know, zen, or whatever they call it.
29:14Because you're you.
29:15That's why.
29:16Thanks.
29:20If we don't hear anything soon, I'll go and find someone.
29:23OK.
29:24You know, all this baby stuff.
29:31I thought we weren't talking about that.
29:33No, I know we're not, but...
29:35Say she did end up pregnant,
29:37at least we'd know that the baby would have a doctor for a dad.
29:42No, there is that.
29:44And Sarah's made it pretty clear to Jacob
29:46that they'd only be doing it as mates,
29:47so she's put quite a bit of thought into this.
29:51Never met anyone quite as stubborn, that's for sure.
29:54I wonder where she gets that from.
30:00I really don't think I'm ready to be a great-grandma just yet.
30:04Oh, I don't know.
30:05I could see you in a rocking chair with a pair of knitting needles.
30:08Oi!
30:10You can button it, old-timer.
30:15Listen...
30:16Even if this baby does happen,
30:19we...
30:19We'll just deal with it.
30:24Suppose so, yeah.
30:27I've just come from serious surgery.
30:30I'm really sorry, but things haven't gone to plan.
30:32How about this morning?
30:55It's fine.
30:56No, it's not fine, though.
30:57I don't know why I went off like that.
30:59Forget it.
31:02Pardon the pun.
31:04If there is a pun.
31:05I'm sorry.
31:06Oh, right, well, apology accepted, then.
31:09It won't happen again, I'm Pryser.
31:13There's been a lot going on with you lately.
31:14What's that supposed to mean?
31:16Just generally, you know.
31:17No, I don't.
31:18Forgetting things.
31:20All that business with Cammie.
31:21That was nothing.
31:22With Eve.
31:23The sleeping tablets.
31:24I was wondering.
31:27What?
31:27If I'm losing me marbles?
31:29No, I'm not saying that.
31:29What then?
31:30Whether it's worth getting yourself checked out with a doctor,
31:32just in case.
31:33In case what?
31:34I'm going to do, Lally?
31:35No.
31:35It can help to catch these things early.
31:37What things?
31:40Nothing.
31:41It's just a thought.
31:42Well, you can keep your thoughts.
31:44I might be knocking on a bit,
31:45but I'm still sharp as a tack.
31:46I've already been to doctors for sleeping tablets,
31:48and I'm not going again.
31:49Okay, okay.
31:51It's just a question.
31:52I've already been ambushed by you and Bob.
31:55Ambush?
31:55Oh, look like one to me.
31:57I was trying to help, and so was he.
31:58Look, if I need your help, I'll ask for it, right?
32:00And you and Mandy should be more grateful for the help I give you.
32:03I am.
32:05Of course I am.
32:06We both are.
32:07Well, think about that twice in future,
32:09before you get on your eye horse.
32:22She looks so peaceful.
32:27After everything this kid's been through,
32:29and now this as well.
32:32So unfair.
32:34I know.
32:37She must have wondered what she's done to deserve this.
32:40You know, she said to me earlier,
32:46I've been more of a mum to her than Deb's.
32:52You have?
32:54Struck it all back as soon as I opened my big mouth.
32:57She was just emotional.
32:59You both were.
32:59No.
33:01Cain, I've never seen her that angry and upset.
33:05But she wasn't thinking straight.
33:07She wouldn't have meant half what she said.
33:12Look, I don't think I can be here when they tell her.
33:15Well, you need to be.
33:19We both do.
33:35Sorry.
33:37I didn't go about that very well, did I?
33:41No, you didn't.
33:43But I probably shouldn't have gone off like that either,
33:45so I'm sorry too.
33:49Can we call it quits?
33:52I reckon we can.
33:54Though I understand your worry,
33:56but we all get a bit forgetful as we get older.
33:59It'll come to you and all someday.
34:00I suppose it will.
34:01Well, we really are grateful for all your help with Eve,
34:05and I hope you know that.
34:06Of course I do.
34:08And I should probably be a bit more grateful myself.
34:12I mean, I'm lucky to have anybody give a stuff about me.
34:15I mean, I do know that.
34:17I'm absolutely fine, you know.
34:20You've got nothing to worry about.
34:22OK.
34:25We'll leave it for now, then.
34:28Deal.
34:29Where are you going?
34:30Well, that's another thing you've got to look forward to
34:32as you get older.
34:34More frequent visits to the toilet.
34:41Hey.
34:42Managed to speak to him, then?
34:45He won't admit there's anything wrong.
34:47Oh.
34:48He's going to get checked out, though, right?
34:50Said there's no need.
34:52Sounds like you need to do some persuading.
34:53Trust me.
34:54When that man makes a decision,
34:57he will not budge.
34:59Well, maybe he needs to try something different.
35:01There are tests you can do online.
35:03Without him knowing?
35:05Well, if he's not going to go do the test,
35:07maybe the test needs to come to him.
35:08Well, that was a good first day.
35:14And hopefully there's a few more, mate.
35:16Cheers.
35:17It's just a shame John couldn't make it.
35:19Yeah.
35:20Shame indeed.
35:21Oh, do I detect a little sarcasm there?
35:24No.
35:24No, no.
35:25Not at all.
35:26Oh, shall we have one more for the road?
35:27Yeah.
35:28Yeah, why not?
35:28Yeah.
35:29We would not to.
35:29So you're not keen, then, on John?
35:37Eh, I didn't used to be,
35:39but he's had my back a couple of times.
35:42He still gets my wick, but he's grown on me.
35:47It's also not so bad having you around, either.
35:50Thanks.
35:51Hmm.
35:51Decent shift you put in today.
35:53Well done.
35:54Although the jury is still out,
35:56so watch your step.
35:56Yeah.
35:59Well?
36:08Nice to see you too.
36:12Did Billy...
36:13get the message?
36:15Not exactly.
36:16Either he did or he didn't.
36:18Which is it?
36:19Been following him all day.
36:21And?
36:21Just about to have a word.
36:23Some fella turned up,
36:25and he went into work to do a shift up at that warehouse.
36:27The depot?
36:28Mm-hmm.
36:28What time was that?
36:29Lunchtime.
36:30One-ish.
36:32And he's been there all day?
36:33As far as I can tell, he didn't come out.
36:35And he hasn't come anywhere near here?
36:37Not unless he's sneaked out and back in again
36:38without me noticing, so no.
36:42Why?
36:45Someone has been in my bedroom.
36:49What have they taken?
36:51It's not about what they've taken,
36:52and it's about what they've left.
36:54A letter.
36:55Threatening me.
36:57Well, it can't have been Billy.
36:59Then who was it?
37:02No idea.
37:05Well, I've done my bit.
37:06Can I have my money?
37:07I'm not being funny, mate,
37:09but you haven't exactly done what we agreed.
37:11I've been watching him all day.
37:13And you'll get your money
37:14when you've given him something to think about?
37:17Listen, I've spent all day watching him.
37:20It can't have been him
37:20that put that letter in your room,
37:21at least you know that much.
37:22If not him, then who?
37:24Not my problem.
37:24But I want my money.
37:29Okay.
37:32Fair enough.
37:39Wow.
37:40That was more than a few hours.
37:42Yeah, I went for a few drinks afterwards.
37:44All of you?
37:45John didn't join.
37:46He was only helping out for a bit.
37:49Great.
37:50All sounds positive, though.
37:51Yeah, if you call stinking a cow's positive.
37:54Well, that's nothing a shower won't fix.
37:57I'm glad it went well.
37:58Yeah, it did, actually.
38:00Thanks, V.
38:02Er, did Matty say anything about more work, or...?
38:06Yeah, he did.
38:07Oh, sorry.
38:08I'm interfering again, aren't I?
38:10It's not that.
38:11It's fine.
38:12I'll back off.
38:13Look, I get that you're trying to help.
38:15I appreciate it, but...
38:16Mind your neck in and keep your nose out.
38:18I wouldn't say that, but...
38:20But words to that effect.
38:21Sorry.
38:24I know I'm trying too hard.
38:25It's just...
38:26With John around, and you coming back, it's...
38:29It's made me realise how lonely I've been.
38:33It can't have been easy.
38:35I know that.
38:38Having me back with all my problems.
38:40They're not problems.
38:41They seem pretty problematic to me.
38:43It's not easy, seeing what prison's done to you.
38:45And I know you said I shouldn't, but I still feel partly responsible.
38:50Don't.
38:50I just wish you hadn't had to go through all that.
38:54But I'll tone it down.
38:56I know you have to find your own way, I get that.
38:59I do.
39:00And you and John need to build a relationship on your own terms.
39:03We do.
39:04I should never have imagined I'd have my family with me again.
39:07And I guess I got a bit carried away.
39:09I'm sorry.
39:10Stop saying sorry.
39:11But it is nice to have you back.
39:23So, the deed is done.
39:29If you want to put it like that.
39:33I was hoping you'd have a change of heart.
39:35This could be the making of me, Grandad.
39:44Have you thought about that?
39:47Can't say I have.
39:49I mean, we're not going to be equal parents or anything.
39:51We've agreed that.
39:52But, you know, I'll get involved as and when I'm needed.
39:58How very modern.
40:00We'll figure it all out.
40:04If and when we need to.
40:06You make it all sound so very simple.
40:10Who said anything about simple?
40:12Jakey, I'm sure that you will have many opportunities to achieve fatherhood in years to come.
40:19Sarah doesn't have that luxury.
40:21Which is why we're not waiting for years to come.
40:23If Sarah does end up pregnant,
40:25I want any kid of mine to at least have a chance to know the great-grandfather, don't I?
40:29Excuse me?
40:30There's no rush.
40:33I'm not planning on going anywhere too soon.
40:36I hope not.
40:39Me and Sarah,
40:40we've thought about this.
40:43Now,
40:45she might not be around forever.
40:48But neither was my mum.
40:49And that's kind of the reason why I'm doing this.
40:51So, if Sarah does get pregnant,
40:56well, a kid will at least have one parent.
41:01I'm not entirely convinced,
41:03but, er,
41:05I really do admire your motives.
41:13I shall just have to find a better way of, er,
41:18being bored with it all.
41:20It'd be great if you could.
41:21I'll do my best.
41:36Hey.
41:37How you doing, sleepyhead?
41:41They could give you some painkillers if you want.
41:44I'm OK, I think.
41:47Has Jake been in touch?
41:49No, he hasn't.
41:51What is it? What's wrong?
41:56I'm afraid there's been a fairly major complication with your surgery.
42:00The good news is that, as far as we could see,
42:03there were no indications during surgery that the cancer has spread.
42:06We'll get test results later to confirm that, however, we did discover that your blood vessels are very fragile,
42:15probably due to the Fanconi anemia.
42:16Unfortunately, we couldn't tie off the vessels that supplied the uterus.
42:21As a result, you had a massive hemorrhage during surgery.
42:23We were left with no choice.
