00:00See you again.
00:30Are you staring at me, Eric?
00:32Was I?
00:33Well, I am diversely good-looking, so, you know, fair enough.
00:37Yeah, I was thinking what a great support you've been to Moira.
00:43Well, it's the least I could have done under the circumstances.
00:46I just heard that you haven't been sacrificing your own family.
00:52Taking your eye off the ball, as it were.
00:54What ball are we talking about?
00:56It doesn't matter.
01:00Forget it.
01:01Ignore me.
01:02No, no, Eric.
01:03Eric, if you've got something to say, then say, please, because I'm now...
01:08I'm strangely intrigued.
01:09Right.
01:10I'm referring to Jacob and Sarah.
01:14Their choice, their business.
01:16I suspect you might feel differently when you find out that they're using your wife as
01:21a surrogate.
01:22Late again.
01:27Eve's new game is hiding my car keys.
01:29Good morning, Dr. Carroll.
01:31Can I suggest you secure them out of her reach?
01:33Oh, no, the child is like a spider.
01:36Nowhere is safe.
01:38Any news on Owen Michaels?
01:39I'm sorry again for the double booking yesterday.
01:42I've tried calling him to reschedule the welfare check, but he's not answering the phone.
01:47Well, he's a tricky customer, isn't he?
01:49You are definitely wise going round.
01:50Well, it's hopefully a false alarm.
01:51These things usually are.
01:53Always worth checking, though.
01:54Which is why it's top of my list.
01:56Oh, hey.
02:05Moira went out of biscuits, has she?
02:09Eh, no.
02:10I just wanted a catch-up.
02:12Okay.
02:13What did you get up to yesterday?
02:18I didn't ask.
02:19Yesterday.
02:20We went into town, didn't we?
02:24Oh, yeah.
02:25Gran wanted to get me a new top cos of hospital, but she didn't like any.
02:29Heh.
02:30Yeah, good.
02:31You obviously needed cheering up from all the stress of trying to find a surrogate.
02:36I mean, I get it.
02:37No, I really do.
02:39The emotional turmoil that goes into planning for a baby, and then the crushing disappointment
02:45when that chance is taken away.
02:47Yeah, exactly that.
02:50So you and I can relate, then?
02:53I know that what Charity went through was not the same, but I desperately wanted another
02:59baby, and Charity decided that she didn't want any more kits.
03:03Okay, babe, thanks for the empathy overload.
03:07We've still got options with Sarah, you know?
03:09It's...
03:10We're not quite there yet.
03:12Really?
03:13Well, yeah, like, maybe another surrogate, I don't know.
03:18So let me ask you something.
03:20What happens in nine months' time when your stomach is out to here?
03:23Are you still going to be pleading ignorance?
03:26Mark.
03:27Leave us.
03:28Okay, so that kind of puts Caleb in the frame.
03:41Planning the phone, that works, but Morty for that, I don't know.
03:45Well, what if he was trying to protect you and Moira?
03:47Look, the day before Nate left, he saw them two kissing.
03:54Yes, it was because of her brain tumour, we know that now, but Caleb was so angry about
03:58that.
03:59It was my battle.
04:00Not his.
04:01And in the grand scheme of things, if you're talking about grudges between Caleb and Nate...
04:06Yeah.
04:07It was Caleb who wronged Nate, not the other way around.
04:10Yes.
04:11Yeah, you're right.
04:12I mean, us having the affair was bad enough.
04:15He never would have killed his own nephew.
04:22Another brew?
04:25Yeah, go on.
04:29Look, what if we need to just forget about motive?
04:34What if we've been too logical?
04:35Well, nobody kills without a reason.
04:38Maybe it's one we don't know.
04:40But we weren't across Nate's whole life.
04:43We didn't know what he was doing every minute of every day.
04:45He had his mates, he had his work.
04:48Maybe it was something he never spoke about.
04:51Okay.
04:53Mates.
04:54Work.
04:55Just wish I'd called the police sooner.
04:56If it was suicide, I doubt it would have made a difference.
04:57Suicide?
04:58Overdose is more likely.
04:59Overdose is more likely.
05:03I found him under the influence all too frequently, I'm afraid.
05:06I'd agree with you.
05:07Except...
05:08He's left the note.
05:09Good.
05:10Good.
05:11Good.
05:12Good.
05:13Good.
05:14Good.
05:15Good.
05:16Oh my God.
05:17Obviously I was going to tell you about the surrogacy.
05:18I was going to tell you.
05:19Right now...
05:20Right now we have no clue if it's even worse.
05:21Could you tell me?
05:22I could have called the police sooner.
05:23If it was suicide, I doubt it would have made a difference.
05:24Suicide?
05:25Overdose is more likely.
05:27I found him under the influence all too frequently, I'm afraid.
05:32I'd agree with you.
05:33I'd agree with you.
05:34Except...
05:35He's left the note.
05:36Good.
05:42Oh my God.
05:43Obviously I was going to tell you about the surrogacy.
05:47Right now we have no clue if it's even viable.
05:50I mean there's so many hoops.
05:52I just didn't think there was any point in having this conversation with you just yet.
05:56Okay.
05:57What hoops?
06:01Of course.
06:02Tell me.
06:03I've had tests.
06:06Yesterday.
06:07Medical stuff.
06:12Psychological assessment.
06:13And did you mention that we were married?
06:18Did they ask anything about the husband?
06:21Or did you lie about that as well?
06:24I said you were fully in support.
06:28Did you?
06:29Even though you're nearly fifty years old, you've got four kids of your own.
06:38Not to mention having an ectopic pregnancy.
06:40I told them all of this.
06:42And they understand.
06:43They understand it's for Sarah.
06:44Sorry.
06:45Right.
06:46Okay.
06:47Charity.
06:48So you explain yourself to some random counsellor before you even think to involve me?
06:56I don't know Mac okay.
06:57I only decided when Vic turned her down because she's so gutted she can't have a normal life.
07:01You decided?
07:02Well for Sarah.
07:05Yeah.
07:06Everything is for Sarah.
07:07What about us?
07:10What about me?
07:11Look at you eh?
07:16What?
07:17Tried mucking?
07:18Something?
07:19Ah.
07:20Just taking in the reincarnation.
07:23Very different from the Robert of old.
07:26I'm just helping Moira out trying to keep busy.
07:29It's not that deep Eric.
07:30Yeah well I'm sure Jack would have been.
07:33He would have been delighted.
07:34I doubt it.
07:35Nothing ever did was good enough for my dad.
07:37But hey.
07:39Good to see you again.
07:40Yeah.
07:41And you.
07:43Bye.
07:44Sarah.
07:45Where's Jacob?
07:47Mac knows everything.
07:48He's probably talking Gran out of it right now.
07:50What?
07:51How?
07:52Grandad.
07:53Have you brought my trust again?
07:56You.
07:57Have no idea what you are doing.
08:00I'm stopping you from making a stupid mistake.
08:04When we found out that we lost.
08:07The baby.
08:09I.
08:10Begged you.
08:11To try again.
08:12And you proceeded to tell me that there was a whole bunch of reasons why that wasn't going to work for us.
08:17Okay.
08:18Me and you.
08:19Back then that was the right decision.
08:21This is now.
08:22Okay.
08:23And Sarah.
08:24Has no other alternatives.
08:25Yeah.
08:26Because.
08:27Victoria said no.
08:28And Cain.
08:29Got scammed.
08:30So you just want to ride into the rescue.
08:32No agent's still touch her.
08:33You know this.
08:34You know how hard we've tried.
08:35Right.
08:36So.
08:37Helping Sarah become a mother is more important than your life.
08:40Or having a baby of your own.
08:42Do you not hear how.
08:43Messed up that sounds.
08:44Please don't try and turn this into some sort of competition.
08:47I'm not making it a competition Charity but I've been completely blindsided by this.
08:51But this has got nothing to do with you really has it.
08:53I mean sorry I get that you're hurt but this is a pretty unique situation.
08:57I mean we didn't know Sarah was going to have a hysterectomy did we.
09:00We didn't know she'd end up being unable to carry.
09:02Charity you had an ectopic pregnancy.
09:05It nearly killed you.
09:07Even with IVF that could happen again.
09:09Your age alone is a red flag.
09:11We've been through all of this.
09:13Okay well maybe the clinic will say no then.
09:15And maybe I won't pass the test and maybe we're arguing over nothing.
09:19Well if it's such a long shot then why.
09:22Why are we giving Sarah hope.
09:25It's beyond irresponsible you're going to end up hurting her more.
09:28Because Sarah has grown up knowing that she's going to die.
09:33She's had this hanging over her since she was six years old.
09:35So I've done everything in my power to give her the life she deserves.
09:39So like when she had to go to Prague for a treatment or a transplant.
09:43I have been by her side.
09:45You aren't her mother.
09:47No I'm not.
09:49But I'm a damn good standing.
09:51Especially when her actual mother is half way across the world right now.
09:54And I want to do this.
09:56I want to do this to see the light come back into her eyes.
09:59Okay so this isn't actually about Sarah at all is it.
10:02This is about you and not wanting to let down another child.
10:05No.
10:06Then what the hell is it.
10:08Yeah what are you doing.
10:09I don't know Mac okay.
10:10I don't know right now.
10:12How any of this is going to work out.
10:14But I just know that I have to try.
10:17Charity.
10:19Please please listen to me.
10:23Not doing this.
10:25Doesn't mean that you love Sarah any less.
10:29Please Mac.
10:31Support me in this.
10:48Mackenzie had a right to know.
10:51Yes and my grandma was going to tell him.
10:53She was just waiting for the test results first and now you've gone and ruined everything.
10:56Jacob is my responsibility.
10:58I want what's best for him.
11:00It's my decision.
11:01My life.
11:02You're going to be a doctor.
11:04You have a brilliant career ahead of you.
11:06My dad's gone.
11:07And my mum's dead.
11:09What I want is family.
11:10You know all this.
11:11You supported us doing IVF in the end.
11:13Why is this any different.
11:14It's because of me isn't it.
11:16I bet you always pictured him with some posh girl from med school.
11:19Dad has nothing to do with it.
11:21Right well what then.
11:22You're going to die.
11:26You'll be saddled with a baby.
11:28You're not even a couple.
11:30Shut up.
11:32It is ridiculous.
11:33It is insane.
11:35My baby will be wanted and loved.
11:38And I'm not going to die.
11:39Not for maybe at least another 20 years.
11:40And there could be medical advancements.
11:42Sarah.
11:43You've just had cancer.
11:45Yeah well I'm clear now.
11:47Why are you being so horrible?
11:49I am deeply sorry that you can't bear a child yourself.
11:54But he's my grandson.
11:56And Sarah's my family now.
11:58Whether we're together or not.
12:00And if you've destroyed her dream.
12:02Then I will never forgive you.
12:04You are a vindictive.
12:05Spiteful.
12:06Evil.
12:07Old man.
12:08Come on.
12:09Let's go.
12:16Matty.
12:17Matty.
12:18Didn't Nate and Amy have a fling years ago?
12:21I don't know.
12:22Oh.
12:23We're really clutching at straws now.
12:25If we're going to go through all the partners of all the women Nate slept with...
12:30No offence.
12:31None taken.
12:33Okay.
12:34Not Matty then.
12:35Not Matty.
12:36Not Matty.
12:37Oh.
12:38I'm sick of this.
12:39It was bad enough for you lurking at the funeral.
12:40Can I come in?
12:41Oh.
12:42Why?
12:43You want to see me down the station again?
12:44Just ask.
12:45Actually.
12:46We've had a breakthrough.
12:47What kind of a breakthrough?
12:48A confession.
12:49What?
12:50Owen Michaels.
12:51You know him?
12:52No.
12:53Who's Owen Michaels?
12:54Who's Owen Michaels?
12:55Did he kill Nat?
12:56We believe so.
12:57The information he's given is consistent with what we know about your husband's murder.
13:00Oh my God.
13:01What?
13:02And you've charged him because I want him putting away for the rest of his life.
13:03But that won't be possible.
13:04Mr. Michaels' confession came in the form of a suicide note.
13:05He's dead?
13:06No.
13:07No.
13:08No.
13:09No.
13:10No.
13:11No.
13:12No.
13:13No.
13:14No.
13:15No.
13:16No.
13:17No.
13:18No.
13:19No.
13:20No.
13:21No.
13:22No.
13:23No.
13:24No.
13:25No.
13:26No.
13:27No.
13:28No.
13:29No.
13:30No.
13:31Okay, thank you.
13:34I'll be in touch then.
13:35Is it safe to come home yet?
13:38Perfect timing.
13:39How'd it go with Mac?
13:41Yeah, you know.
13:43Took a bit of time, but great.
13:44Really?
13:45That's not important anyway because the clinic have just been on the phone.
13:50I've passed all the tests.
13:53No way.
13:54I can go on to the next stage.
13:56Ultra sound, bloods.
13:58You know, to make sure I'm ready for the embryo transfer.
14:03Oh, my God, it's all sounding real now.
14:05Well, it might not still happen yet. It's not 100%.
14:07But they did say that I am medically and psychologically fit.
14:12To carry a great-grandchild? That's wild.
14:15OK, well, maybe we won't dwell on that.
14:18Beginning to sound like a freaky magazine headline.
14:21Right, go on then, doctor. Go make her a healthy smoothie or something.
14:27So, what did Mac say? And don't lie.
14:29It'll just take some time.
14:31I went mad. I knew it.
14:32Babe, he's just worried, OK?
14:34I'll talk him round. I always do.
14:37Oi. Mac is not your problem, OK?
14:43A roadside altercation?
14:46According to the letter, Mr Michaels met Mr Robinson-Nate.
14:50There was a disagreement between the two over their driving.
14:53The day you left for Shetland?
14:56Go on.
14:57He said the argument became heated and his temper got the better of him.
15:01He called Nate's death an accident.
15:03He then panicked and disposed of his body in the lake.
15:09So, what about Nate's phone?
15:11Well, he said he was scared he'd be caught,
15:13so he kept the phone and tried to cover his tracks.
15:16When your husband's body was discovered,
15:17he then tried to frame you.
15:20He said all this in a knot?
15:22Yes, he explained that he wanted to make a full confession to avoid any doubt.
15:27Apparently he couldn't live with the guilt.
15:29Blame that for his going back on drugs.
15:32I don't understand.
15:33How did this Owen guy know where I lived?
15:36Well, once he had Nate's phone, he would have had access to everything.
15:39Personal information, messages between you two.
15:41And he was in Demdyke, a local.
15:46So it was just random?
15:48I mean, Nate set off a day later or gone on a different route?
15:53Yes, it's rare to have no connection between victim and perpetrator.
15:59But this seems to have been a chance encounter.
16:06Excuse me, I have to take this.
16:11Is it better?
16:14Or worse?
16:17That Nate got murdered for no reason at all?
16:20Did you manage to see him?
16:31I'm afraid he passed away.
16:34Suicide.
16:36Oh, no.
16:37You mean...
16:39Did you discover him?
16:42Yeah.
16:44Liam, sit down. I'll make tea.
16:46I'm fine.
16:47I've called the police.
16:48Everything's been taken care of.
16:50I shouldn't have given up so quickly yesterday.
16:52I just assumed he wasn't home.
16:54There's been another development.
16:55It's rather more shocking.
16:57He left a note admitting to killing Nate.
17:01Our Nate?
17:02Yeah.
17:03Are you sure?
17:04I saw the note myself.
17:05The facts, the timelines.
17:07All check out.
17:08I knew it wasn't Tracy.
17:10That poor girl.
17:11Well, at least they can draw a line now.
17:13It must be some comfort.
17:15Police have got their man.
17:20More corroborating evidence.
17:23We found Nate's car, following the instructions in Mr. Michael's letter.
17:27Go on.
17:28Where?
17:29Redwood Lane by Kilbeck Woods.
17:32It's burnt out, deliberately concealed by undergrowth, which is why it hasn't turned up before now.
17:36All that time you wasted questioning me.
17:39You could have found him sooner.
17:42So what happens now?
17:44We'll continue with the formalities.
17:46No, I mean, to him.
17:47I mean, did he have any family, kids?
17:49Who was he?
17:50Why do you care?
17:52Because I might have walked past him.
17:54I might have seen him in the pub.
17:55Might have had his car in the garage.
17:57He's dead, Cain.
17:59I understand your frustration.
18:01How hard this is to process.
18:02No, you understand nothing.
18:04He's just a name.
18:05Owen.
18:06Owen Michaels.
18:07Some nobody who killed my son.
18:18Here.
18:19Get you another?
18:19No, it's all.
18:22What, you want to have a drink with me?
18:24Vic's not here.
18:24Don't pretend to be civil.
18:25Oh, boys, boys.
18:27It's a pub, not a playground.
18:29So, how are you doing?
18:31That was a tough one.
18:33Yeah.
18:34You know, you can't blame yourself for not seeing Owen yesterday.
18:38He may well have already passed by the time you're there.
18:42Commiserations.
18:44Yeah, that's civil enough for you.
18:45Oh, it's very good.
18:46Noted.
18:47You knew him, actually.
18:49Owen.
18:54That Owen.
18:55Yeah, he took his own life.
18:56So did it.
18:58The guy who spiked me and tried to drag me into the back of his van
19:02is the one that killed Nate.
19:05Yeah.
19:06Scary.
19:07You had a lucky escape.
19:10You had a lucky escape.
19:19Hey.
19:22All got a bit heated in there.
19:26Feeling a bit calmer.
19:27The clinic called.
19:34Those tests that I had.
19:36Well, they say I can move on to the next stage.
19:40They say I'm psychologically sound.
19:43Never been described as that before.
19:44So, yeah.
19:49Am I supposed to say congratulations?
19:51Sarah was thrilled.
19:53Because like you said, pretty big deal for someone my age.
19:57We said.
19:58We said that.
20:02And you keep conveniently forgetting.
20:05And now you're going to get pregnant with someone else's baby.
20:08For nine months.
20:10Hopefully, if it goes full term, that's all it'll be.
20:13Nine months out of the rest of our lives.
20:15It doesn't have to affect us.
20:17It already is.
20:19Charity.
20:19You're totally disregarding my feelings.
20:24I'm sorry.
20:26I am.
20:29You know, I never would deliberately set out to hurt you.
20:32You know that.
20:32I love you.
20:33Then don't do it.
20:36Don't do it.
20:38If you love me.
20:39Like you say you do.
20:40Or if you care about this marriage even half as much as you do about this baby.
20:45Just tell Sarah no.
20:47I've already explained to you.
20:48It's not that simple.
20:53All right.
20:55Well then, allow me to make it simple.
20:59So you're asking me to choose?
21:02Is this an ultimatum, Mac?
21:06Deny Sarah what she wants most in the world.
21:10Or lose you.
21:18Don't you?
21:27Let's go.
21:27Let's go.
21:27Let's go.
21:28Let's go.
21:28Let's go.
