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