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