00:30Oh, I wondered where you got to.
00:42Do you want to talk about it?
00:53Oh, that is freezing.
00:55How long have you been sat here?
00:57Don't know.
01:00I couldn't sleep.
01:04You know, I thought it would be easier knowing what happened, but not this.
01:14Why don't you talk to the police again?
01:17See if there's anything else they can tell you.
01:20What for?
01:21No, it's dead.
01:22The person who killed him is dead.
01:25They're probably rubbing their hands together right now, the police.
01:28This is just an easy job for them, isn't it?
01:31I just think having all the information you can get has to help.
01:34I mean, when Holly died...
01:36Come on, that's different.
01:37She did that to herself.
01:39Oh, I'm sorry.
01:42No, I didn't...
01:43I didn't mean that, Moira.
01:44Oh, I think you did.
01:53There you go.
01:54Er, sorry, I made that for you.
01:57Well, does it matter?
01:58You should be resting anyway.
01:59It's fine.
02:00I'll have one later.
02:02What have you fallen out about now?
02:03Nothing.
02:04By the way, you couldn't cover for me for a few hours in the pub, could you?
02:08Well, I'm working.
02:10Why?
02:11What are you doing?
02:11Don't matter.
02:12I'll ask Chas.
02:13Your mum needs time to wear me down.
02:17Unless there's another clinic appointment that I don't know about.
02:23What, you will?
02:24No, no, no.
02:25Everything's in perfect working condition.
02:28Apparently.
02:30He's got a right to know.
02:32This doesn't just affect you.
02:34And I was going to tell him in my own time.
02:38You better sit down now.
02:43Erm...
02:49Well?
02:52Your mum is having a baby for Sierra.
03:01Hmm.
03:02Thanks for making a start on the barn.
03:04I'll give you a hand later, but I need to finish this and check on how Tracy's doing.
03:09Yeah, no problem.
03:10Erm...
03:11I was hoping to head over to the auction on my dinner break.
03:14Reading news around at twelve.
03:17What, you're buying already?
03:19I just want to get a feel for what's out there.
03:21Well, that's exciting, eh?
03:22Starting from scratch with your very own bit of pasture.
03:25Yeah.
03:25Can't wait.
03:26Yeah.
03:27Well, have fun.
03:28But make sure you don't move a muscle or you'll be coming back with your own flock.
03:31And a load of paperwork.
03:33There's a form for everything in farming.
03:35And great big dirty fines when things go wrong.
03:37Is there any news on that appeal?
03:38No, not yet.
03:39Sorry.
03:40Er...
03:40Hey, you don't need me reining on your parade.
03:43Go and have fun at the auction.
03:46Oh.
03:47Hi.
03:49How you doing?
03:49Yesterday was a bit of a weird one.
03:51Yeah, just a bit.
03:52It's Kane about.
03:53Oh, I've not seen him, no.
03:54I, er, just wanted to check how he's doing and only heard about Nate's killer.
04:02What's it to you?
04:03Well, nothing.
04:04Nothing as such.
04:05I mean, he was a patient at the surgery.
04:08It all just feels a bit surreal.
04:11It must be a relief for you, though.
04:14Relief?
04:14He had to get some closure.
04:18Er, John, it's really good of you to pop round and stuff, but...
04:22Did you know him?
04:24Oh, more.
04:25Of him.
04:26He was Liam's patient.
04:27I...
04:27I brought you this.
04:30It's about the grieving process after traumatic loss.
04:33Well, that's meant to help, is it?
04:35What, epoxy leaflet?
04:36I want to rip his head up.
04:37I can't do that now, can I?
04:39Kane!
04:39Oh, well, I'm sorry, this...
04:43This was a bad idea.
04:45No, no, it's not your fault, John.
04:47It's just...
04:47It's just finding it difficult to understand what happened.
04:51Right, I thought...
04:53Well, Liam said that the note explained everything.
04:56Doesn't mean it makes any sense.
04:59It just needs time to come to terms with it all.
05:06Oh, thanks.
05:09How have you done all this?
05:14Slowly.
05:16Patiently.
05:18Every time a piece of land came up, I was waiting.
05:21Or rather, one of my subsidiaries was.
05:24I must have stunned.
05:26Giving that plot to Caleb.
05:29Caleb's small fry.
05:31So's his meaningless little vegetable plot.
05:34Anyway, Robert's coming round to sign over the field that matters at 12.
05:42As far as he's concerned, this is a little side deal between me and him.
05:48You're going to be a very wealthy woman.
05:51And powerful.
05:53Don't forget powerful.
05:54How could I?
05:56As you know, this is my legacy.
06:00But it's not just about me.
06:03This is about our future.
06:05Our family's future.
06:08You, Dawn, the kids.
06:11Including Thomas.
06:12Maybe even Jamie and Millie one day.
06:18Oh.
06:19You're not ill, are you?
06:20What?
06:21No, of course not.
06:23You're sounding very sentimental.
06:26Because it matters to me.
06:27Is this because I missed that pincer movement we got trapped in last time we played?
06:47No, it's because I'm busy.
06:48Because, to be fair, you missed it too.
06:51I tried to warn you.
06:53Of course it's not that.
06:54It's just because I've got stuff to do.
06:55Like what?
06:56You're never busy on your day off.
06:59Well, it must be good if you're going to miss out on a zombie shooting spree.
07:02Yes.
07:05Listen, I know things have been a bit rough.
07:08With a dog attack and your dad leaving.
07:10But isolate yourself.
07:11Marlon.
07:12I'm literally out.
07:13I'm literally right here.
07:15Right in front of you.
07:16Trying to eat a pussy.
07:17Which, I have to say, is very good.
07:21So, the pesto works for the peppered beef.
07:23Oh, come on, are we done by half two?
07:25We've got the whole afternoon.
07:27What are you...
07:27You can't just kiss something and treat it like that.
07:30I'm in a rush.
07:31It'll go all sweaty.
07:36I get Sarah wants a kid.
07:39But this is so messed up.
07:41Yeah, I know.
07:42Your mum called me last night.
07:43I know it's a bit out there, but we'll get used to it.
07:46Yeah, you might.
07:48She's going to be carrying my niece's kid who she's having with Jacob.
07:52Can you just shut up about it?
07:56I thought you were working today.
07:59I'm on my lunch.
08:06Poor kid.
08:07I think his head's exploding.
08:08Same again.
08:08I'm heading to the allotment after lunch, if you fancy it.
08:14Bit of fresh air.
08:15Exercise.
08:16I'll take my mind of my son being murdered.
08:18Oi.
08:19He's trying to help.
08:19By someone you should have been keeping your eye on.
08:22What?
08:23That's not fair, Cain.
08:24He was one of his patients.
08:26I had no idea he was dangerous.
08:28How many of those has he had?
08:29Er, this'll be a second.
08:32Maybe you might want to make that your last, if this is the kind of mid you're in.
08:35I don't need a lecture, thank you.
08:37Or checking up on...
08:38I'm guessing that's what you're doing.
08:40Well, that's kind of on me.
08:41I just wanted to check you were OK.
08:43Well, I might be.
08:44If everybody got my case.
08:46Yes.
08:52Hope you've got another bottle of that good stuff on ice.
09:00You're getting paid.
09:01Isn't that enough?
09:03And, er, we said 12.
09:05What's a couple of minutes between friends?
09:08Well, I have got other meetings to get to.
09:11Please.
09:17I assume everything went smoothly?
09:20Yep, no problem at all.
09:21One Sugden legacy, ready to go.
09:24For the right price, of course.
09:26Yeah.
09:27Just as we agreed.
09:30The, er, figure you'll find interesting is in section four.
09:33No hidden nasties, I promise.
09:37But take your time.
09:39I can always cancel my one o'clock.
09:40Well...
09:41Problem?
09:53Big word, isn't it?
09:55Legacy.
09:57Maybe it deserves more than bargain bucket prices.
09:59It's a nothing piece of land.
10:01And I'm paying market value, if you remember.
10:05I'm doing you a favour.
10:12I need to think about it.
10:13I'll add 1,000.
10:15If we can get this done today.
10:17Well, it's not that nothing, are you then?
10:18I don't like wasting my time.
10:21And it's hardly a surprise you want to negotiate.
10:24So, er...
10:25Do we have a deal?
10:29I'll let you know.
10:302,000.
10:31If you sign now.
10:33Or you can forget it.
10:35Nobody else is going to buy it.
10:36Well, I guess I'm stuck with it.
11:03I ordered ham and cheese.
11:04Trust me, you're going to love this.
11:07Ah, ah, ah!
11:10Cain.
11:11You need to apologise to him.
11:14Why are you being like this?
11:16My son's dead.
11:18And there's only me and her bothered about it.
11:20Well, that's not true.
11:23OK.
11:24Erm...
11:25Say I believe you that you didn't know anything about this...
11:30Owen guy being dangerous.
11:31Oh, Cain, come on.
11:32Not all this again.
11:33I'm just asking him a question.
11:36I honestly did not know.
11:39But you must have known something was up, because otherwise why else would you go round?
11:46Well?
11:47I really can't talk about a patient like this.
11:49I've already said more than I should.
11:50You've said nothing.
11:51Will you calm down?
11:52I just need to know who he was, what he was like, and why you were visiting him.
11:56OK, look, I think I should go.
11:57I'll see you later.
11:57Cain!
11:57If you'd be doing your job properly, he'd still be alive!
12:00For God's sake, let him go!
12:01Come on, mate, you are.
12:08How did it go?
12:10It didn't.
12:12You were right.
12:13I shouldn't have trusted him.
12:14Why?
12:15What happened?
12:16He's playing games.
12:18Making out the Sugden legacy is more important to him.
12:22Hmm.
12:23Well, there's got to be another way.
12:25Don't you think I've already gone through all the options?
12:28That field connects everything.
12:32There's no plan if he won't sell it.
12:34And I'll have bought all that for nothing.
12:37You've still got tenants.
12:39Paying peanuts.
12:40That's not how you make money.
12:42Quite the opposite, in fact.
12:45Damn you, Robert.
12:47It can't be that bad.
12:49He is determined to stand in my way.
12:51And I swear he's getting a kick out of it.
12:54Well, then he will get bored and he'll come back for the money.
12:58Not now he thinks he's got a hold over me.
13:05Everything's been so stressful lately and...
13:08The last thing I want to do is lose you.
13:11Us.
13:14I shouldn't have turned it into an ultimatum.
13:17I'm sorry.
13:18No, I'm sorry too.
13:19And I understand why you are upset over the baby.
13:26But it's just got built up into this big, massive thing.
13:29Maybe we just need a reset.
13:31You know, a chance to talk things through.
13:32There are other things that we can do to help.
13:40I know that...
13:41Cain got conned and that was just a bit of bad luck.
13:45But that's not going to happen again.
13:47And also, we can't have looked through every single agency.
13:50Hang on, let's be clear here.
13:52I am still going to be the surrogate.
13:53Sorry, is this your idea of talking things through?
13:58Babe, it'll be over in less than a year.
13:59Like, it never happened except Sarah will have a baby.
14:03Babe, she needs me to do this for her and I want to do it.
14:07I honestly thought he was going to hit me.
14:11He might have done.
14:12If Moira hadn't been there.
14:13Oh dear, you poor thing.
14:15Well, he's got justice.
14:16Surely that must help.
14:18He hasn't though.
14:20Not really.
14:21Not like I did.
14:23When somebody murders your child, you never get over it.
14:27No.
14:29No, of course not.
14:31And the trial was awful, but Mina was found guilty and she was locked up for good.
14:37Which meant that I could start to move on and find a way to remember Leanna as she really was.
14:42A beautiful, funny, intelligent girl.
14:48But Cain won't ever have that.
14:49But Owen is dead.
14:50That has to be a good thing.
14:51He killed an innocent person for no reason and then took away any chances family might have
14:56to really understand why.
14:58I mean, it doesn't get any worse than that.
15:03I just hope Cain can learn to live with it.
15:14I thought we were supposed to be having Cain to cheer us up.
15:16No, I know.
15:17I'm so sorry.
15:18I got completely distracted.
15:21That's all, Mac.
15:24He's still not budging.
15:25Oh, it's okay.
15:27I get it.
15:27Oh, don't worry.
15:29I've told him I'm still going ahead with it.
15:31Wherever that leaves us.
15:33Well, no, I don't want you splitting up over this.
15:34Oh, come on.
15:35It won't come to that.
15:36I don't think.
15:38And if it does, well, it won't be about the pregnancy.
15:40It'll be his pig-headedness.
15:42Yeah, it's only because he's worried about you in the same way that I am.
15:45Oh, come on.
15:46I'm tough as they come.
15:47Yeah, but what if you're not, though?
15:49Look, I'll keep looking for someone else.
15:50I'll search the internet, social media, find some forums.
15:53No.
15:54No, you don't have to do any of that.
15:56I know, but all it takes is for one person to understand.
15:58And if I can't find them, then it's over.
16:02Like hell it is.
16:04I mean it, Grant.
16:06This is my problem.
16:07And if I can't solve it, then I'll learn to cope with it.
16:09I'll get out of everything else.
16:10Oh, come here.
16:20You trespass him.
16:22Yeah.
16:23Well, there's an easy way around that.
16:26Do you really think you could back out of an agreement?
16:30Without any warning?
16:32I'm here to give you another chance.
16:36Well, I haven't signed anything.
16:37It's my land.
16:39So you can drop your whole Lord of the Manor Act.
16:40I thought you fancied yourself a businessman.
16:43You should know that a verbal agreement is just as important as a signature.
16:47If you value your reputation.
16:49Kim really must be rattled.
16:51Well, she's offering you full market value.
16:53Yeah, well, I think we both know it's worth more than that.
16:56Oh, you are an inconvenience.
16:58But you are not insurmountable.
16:59By any means.
17:01So, if I were you, I would take the money and go.
17:04I'm thinking of going the whole sustainable farming route.
17:09Back to basics.
17:10Start from scratch.
17:12That's very good.
17:14Well, you've had your fun.
17:15The extra two grand is still on the table.
17:17Not interested.
17:19You can tell Kim she should know better.
17:21I don't appreciate being treated like a fool.
17:23By anyone.
17:25Well, if that includes me.
17:27Get used to it.
17:29Take the deal.
17:30Or you will regret it.
17:32I'm meant to be scared.
17:37I'd say so.
17:38Hi.
17:55Is Sarah here?
17:57She's having a nap.
17:59We had a chat.
18:01And, er...
18:02She told me she don't want to go ahead with it.
18:05Not with me as the surrogate, anyway.
18:09Well, that's, erm...
18:10That's obviously going to be really hard to hear, but I think it's for the best.
18:15She's lying, Mac.
18:17We don't know that.
18:17She's only saying it so we don't split up.
18:20That's how selfless she's been.
18:22She might have changed her mind.
18:23Oh, you'd love that, wouldn't you?
18:25No, no.
18:26She's a bright lass.
18:28She knows what a strain carrying a baby will have on you.
18:31You don't think I already know this?
18:34I've done the research and none of it scratches the surface of what she's been through over the years.
18:39So I'm sorry, Mac, but I have to do this.
18:42And if she won't let me because you can't get on board, I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to forgive you.
18:47Oh, Charity, I can't do this.
18:49We're going round in circles here.
18:51You're not listening to me.
18:52Says you.
18:53Where are you going now?
18:54Anywhere but here.
19:05Here you go.
19:15I'm sorry.
19:18Well, you don't look drunk, so that's a start.
19:20Yeah, I went for a walk to clear my head.
19:24You know what I said this morning about Holly, I am really sorry.
19:30You're grieving, Cain.
19:32I just want to help you, but sometimes you make it really difficult.
19:36Hmm.
19:37I know.
19:39Come here.
19:40You do need to talk to Liam, though.
19:48Yeah, I'll go round and see him.
19:50I'll call him later.
19:51Okay.
19:54Oh.
19:55I'm sorry, I'll come out of there.
19:56No, no, it's fine.
19:57But maybe you spend some time with your boys.
19:59They still need their dad.
20:00It's hitting him so hard.
20:10Not that I blame him.
20:12Kind of glad the sewing guy's not around anymore.
20:14We'd have two murder charges.
20:17It's a bit weird, though, isn't it?
20:19Killing himself after all that time.
20:21Well, maybe he grew a conscience.
20:23Or he was convinced of getting caught.
20:25I mean, he must have been worried because he planted Nate's bone in Frankie's playhouse.
20:28He did what?
20:29Yeah, he tried to frame Tracy.
20:31And it nearly worked.
20:32She could have done a lifelong sentence.
20:36It's a bit of a risky move, though, isn't it?
20:38Why not just lay low?
20:41Drugs make people paranoid.
20:43I mean, at least he confessed.
20:45The rest has to stay a mystery, I suppose.
20:47The rest has to stay a mystery, I suppose.
21:17The rest has to stay a mystery.
