00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:28 Stop it or you'll start me up.
00:30 Well, you know what they say, couples who yawn together
00:33 stay together.
00:34 Do they say that?
00:36 Shame we can't stay in bed together.
00:37 I could do with hiding today.
00:39 Well, not just today.
00:41 Is that the video?
00:42 Yeah, but if you want to see it,
00:43 you're going to have to look later on.
00:44 I'm not sure I can watch it again.
00:45 Why?
00:46 You did great.
00:47 I just don't like looking at myself.
00:48 Well, it's done now.
00:50 And it's a brave thing to do.
00:51 I'm so proud of you.
00:52 Thank you.
00:54 It's just up people listen.
00:56 Brew.
00:57 Oh, hang on.
00:58 People have commented.
00:59 Oh, be careful.
01:01 People can be horrible online, hiding behind keyboards,
01:04 say anything.
01:05 No, it's good.
01:06 They say that they're disgusted with the documentary.
01:08 Yes, and so they should be.
01:10 See?
01:11 Positive response.
01:12 I really struggle not to think about your naked charity
01:23 calendar every time I eat one of these.
01:27 Well, that's a little bit of an overshare.
01:29 Thank you very much, Mary.
01:30 No, rather, that incident was erased from everyone's memory.
01:34 Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
01:36 I'm waiting for you all to do it again.
01:38 No, no, no, no, no.
01:39 And I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that
01:41 might be a very long wait.
01:44 Hey, I need to rob you.
01:47 Should have put my hands up.
01:49 Gemma and Chesney aren't home all day.
01:50 And even if they were, they'd be naff all in the cupboard.
01:53 Pillage away, my love.
01:54 Have you got any cinnamon?
01:57 Yep, they'd be by the spices.
01:59 I pride myself on my rack.
02:01 As well you should.
02:02 I've always thought your rack was immaculate.
02:06 Really?
02:07 Oh, thank you, Mary.
02:09 So what did you need cinnamon for?
02:11 Are you baking buns?
02:14 Buns, Mary.
02:17 Bread buns.
02:19 Do you two need a room?
02:22 No, it's for our pile.
02:23 I'm sorry.
02:24 So what are you going to put, cinnamon in a puree?
02:26 No, I'm making a batch of essential oils.
02:28 It's a new recipe.
02:29 You burn it, and it fills the room with good energy.
02:32 It burns the house down.
02:34 I'm a professional.
02:35 I know what I'm doing.
02:37 Well, I'll leave you to it.
02:38 Say hi to Paul for me.
02:40 Will do.
02:42 A bientot.
02:44 Come on, don't be dumb.
02:45 We don't need to pick a fight.
02:46 Oh, cheers, darling.
02:49 So what about you?
02:50 How are we looking after you today?
02:52 Yeah, I'm fine.
02:54 Honey, it's me you're talking to.
02:57 You want to talk about Kit?
02:58 No, really, I'm fine.
03:00 Well, not totally, but what can I expect?
03:03 I brought it on myself.
03:04 It's not as simple as that.
03:05 I know.
03:06 But if I can't make him see it, then
03:08 there's no use talking about it.
03:09 So give it time.
03:10 He might come around, but you have to give it time.
03:13 Nope.
03:14 It was a mistake to even try.
03:16 I just need to concentrate all my energy on our pile.
03:24 You can dress it up all you like, call it detailing, valeting.
03:27 You want me to wash cars?
03:28 No.
03:29 Well, yeah.
03:31 But think about it like this.
03:32 It'll get you out of the office.
03:33 So why don't you do it then, eh?
03:35 Why does it have to be on my list of duties?
03:38 I'm the mechanic.
03:40 So it's beneath you, but all right for me.
03:43 Exactly.
03:45 No, I don't mean exactly like you--
03:50 Families, eh?
03:52 He's having a rough day.
03:53 Speaking of families, how's Roy?
03:57 His medication seems to be working,
03:58 but it's not his physical health I'm worried about.
04:00 Why?
04:01 What's he been saying?
04:02 Nothing.
04:03 He's just barely speaking to anyone.
04:05 He isn't leaving his cell.
04:06 Might as well be in solitary.
04:08 That's not good, I mean.
04:09 I've seen plenty of blokes go downhill
04:11 by hiding themselves away.
04:13 You know what Roy's like.
04:14 He won't hear it, and I'm stuck out here,
04:16 so I'm not really doing much.
04:19 Still, I bet you he appreciates you visiting.
04:21 It's not enough.
04:22 He's got too long on his own in between.
04:25 You know, out here he's got his family and friends,
04:27 and in there he's all alone.
04:30 Well, I'll go then, Mum.
04:31 See you later.
04:32 See you.
04:33 Hiya.
04:33 Eh?
04:34 You just miss your colleagues putting on a show?
04:36 You are?
04:37 Cassie and Tyrone are arguing about her washing
04:39 cars or something.
04:40 Told you she'd kick off about it.
04:42 Anyway, have you seen the response?
04:45 Yeah, yeah, when I opened up, but I
04:47 need to check again, actually.
04:48 I'm shocked, because I thought it'd
04:49 take like days for anyone to even watch it,
04:51 let alone comment.
04:52 Yeah, well, it was a video from the heart.
04:53 People are bound to be connected.
04:55 I doubt the production company will
04:56 care about some comments left on the Gazette website,
04:59 but I'm happy I said me piece.
05:01 Eh?
05:02 You've done more than that.
05:04 You've inspired a petition and an open letter
05:06 to them to take it down.
05:09 Who's done that?
05:10 People who care, that's who.
05:12 And it means that people will see through Corey's
05:14 pointless attempt to rehabilitate his image.
05:17 Can't believe it.
05:19 Shit.
05:20 Oh, you're leaving already?
05:27 I thought Rowland was taking you later.
05:29 Oh, no, I'm just making sure I've got everything.
05:31 I don't want to leave without something.
05:34 Why don't we grab some breakfast?
05:35 You know, you want to go on a full stomach, don't you?
05:38 No, I'm not that hungry, sir.
05:39 Come on, it's only going to take half an hour.
05:43 Hey, oh, good, you're in.
05:46 Listen, I've just had a call from a friend of mine
05:49 who owns a B&B in Morecambe.
05:50 She's offered me a room for the rest of the week.
05:53 Just wondered if you fancied some quality time
05:55 with your auntie by the beach.
05:57 Well, you know I'm going to that retreat, don't you?
05:59 Yeah, but there's going to be loads of those, aren't there?
06:01 I mean, how often do we just get to hang out together?
06:03 Thought we could hit the arcades, you know,
06:05 try and win a fluffy toy.
06:06 Or what, am I too old and boring to be with?
06:09 You both don't want me to go, do you?
06:11 No, it's not that.
06:12 You know, we're family, and we're just
06:14 hoping whatever you want to find out there,
06:16 that we could help you with, you know?
06:18 Yeah, we know you.
06:20 Surely it's a better use of your time to chat to us.
06:23 It's not like we haven't got through tough times together
06:24 before, is it?
06:25 No, I need to do this, for me.
06:28 I might not like it or get out of it what I'm looking for,
06:30 but I at least want to give it a try.
06:32 And thanks for offering the trip away,
06:34 but this is more important.
06:37 Anyway, I need to go get some toothpaste.
06:38 Back in a bit.
06:40 [DOOR OPENS]
06:42 I'm going to ring Peter.
06:46 He needs to know what's going on.
06:47 Mm-hmm.
06:48 [PHONE VIBRATING]
06:51 Bethany, your mum's ringing.
06:57 Again.
06:58 It's the third time, that.
06:59 Could be an emergency.
07:00 No.
07:01 No, it's not.
07:02 I know what she wants.
07:03 I'll call her later.
07:03 You look smart.
07:08 Thanks.
07:09 Meeting the powers that be at the STC later.
07:11 Hoping I can get my job back.
07:13 You know, it'd be a shame to waste this tie.
07:19 We should go for lunch.
07:20 Somewhere nice.
07:22 Maybe.
07:24 Have you already got plans?
07:26 No.
07:27 No, I don't have plans.
07:28 I just don't really feel like doing much.
07:30 Mm.
07:32 You know, if you don't get out and interact with the world,
07:34 you're going to end up as desperate as those housewives
07:36 that you watch all the time.
07:37 I'm not that bad.
07:39 Slippery slope.
07:41 All right, Mr. Judgy.
07:42 What if I wanted to stay in and read a book?
07:45 You won't, though, will you?
07:47 Words are my work.
07:48 Watching mindless TV is a stress relief.
07:50 Mm.
07:53 Fine.
07:54 You win.
07:55 I'll go window shopping.
07:58 Or actual shopping, if you wanted.
08:02 Hey, invite your mum.
08:04 Uh, yeah.
08:05 Maybe.
08:06 [SIGHS]
08:08 Do we really need all those meds?
08:20 It's easier getting him here on discharge.
08:22 Saves me a trip to the pharmacy.
08:23 Wow.
08:26 Just popped out for an hour.
08:27 The chief asked, cover for me.
08:34 Oh, here he is.
08:35 Hey, you're not good at that.
08:43 Oi, what are you doing?
08:46 That was my spot.
08:47 I was just reversing in.
08:48 That's my spot.
08:49 And?
08:50 Are you even disabled?
08:51 It's a hospital.
08:52 I'm temporarily disabled.
08:54 Move it.
08:56 What's it to you, pal?
08:58 Thought they were illegally failing to show your badge.
09:00 Maybe I got a hidden disability.
09:02 Being a horrible git isn't a disability.
09:04 It's a lifestyle choice.
09:05 See, badges matter, don't they?
09:13 Next time, respect theirs.
09:17 Hey, um, thank you.
09:19 You're welcome.
09:22 You making a great escape?
09:24 Uh, well, I can.
09:27 Just had a feeding tube fitted.
09:30 Sounds painful.
09:31 You believe that guy?
09:32 I've seen hundreds like it.
09:34 Hope your recovery goes well.
09:39 Thank you.
09:40 Right, I'll just reverse in.
09:45 We'll get you loaded up before we meet any more weirdos.
09:47 Yeah.
09:48 Now, Doc, imagine how happy I was to see my old friend
09:59 shattered away online in the Gazette.
10:00 Hey, I always said you had a smile that could
10:03 charm the birds from the trees.
10:05 You give now away for free, not even flattery.
10:08 What do you want?
10:09 Just thought I'd visit an old friend.
10:12 Can't believe you're still dealing with this.
10:13 I, uh, wanted to offer my services,
10:16 if there is anything I can do to help.
10:18 Well, as much as I would love you to beat someone up for me,
10:22 I'm trying to control those urges.
10:24 What you really doing here?
10:25 You miss me, really.
10:27 Divisively.
10:28 I need a favor.
10:29 Here we go.
10:30 Have a bit of a bad streak.
10:33 Nags, booze, drugs, all of the above.
10:35 Cost of living crisis, isn't it?
10:37 It's not my fault it's harder to make ends meet.
10:39 Oh, give over.
10:41 Your ends have never met.
10:42 Been living in the gutter for decades.
10:44 If anything, you should be even more prepared for it.
10:47 Come on.
10:49 Doing all right?
10:50 Good job?
10:50 Nice house?
10:52 A job I work hard at.
10:54 And a house I try to protect from people like you.
10:57 You can be so much better than me.
10:59 What people around here would think if they knew
11:01 what you were really like.
11:04 You really are a low-life piece of scum.
11:07 You know what I'm going through dealing with my son's killer.
11:10 And then you come in here and try and get money out of me.
11:13 Leave.
11:14 Look, maybe I caught you at a bad time, but I'm serious.
11:17 I need help.
11:19 And you think trying to blackmail me
11:20 is the way to ask for it?
11:22 I never blackmailed you.
11:24 Go that way too far.
11:25 But it's because we do, I know you'll help.
11:27 It was me and you, in the trenches, making moves.
11:31 It's got to be worth something.
11:34 Yeah, it is.
11:37 It's worth me not calling the police.
11:39 And if you show your face around here ever again,
11:43 I'll come within a mile of my family.
11:45 Well, you know what I'm capable of.
11:48 And it's best for both of us that we
11:50 don't see that happy again.
11:52 Ever.
11:53 [CAR ENGINE]
11:55 [SIGHS]
11:56 What was he after?
12:03 No, he's just passing.
12:04 I told him to keep on moving.
12:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:14 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:17 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:24 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:27 Get you settled, and then I'll go and get you some pain meds.
12:33 I'm all right for now.
12:34 What's that smell?
12:39 Essential oils.
12:41 It's a home brew.
12:42 Do you like it?
12:44 Yeah.
12:46 It's a bit pungent.
12:47 Pungent?
12:49 Since when has that been used to describe a nice smell?
12:52 Yeah, I mean, I can really taste it.
12:55 Well, I wasn't sure.
12:56 It's a recipe I got off the internet.
12:58 I thought I might have overdone the Tabasco sauce
13:00 and the chili flakes.
13:02 No, you nailed it.
13:06 Might just get Billy to move it a little bit further away.
13:12 Yeah, just-- here we go.
13:13 I mean, that way, you know, the whole flat will get the benefit.
13:17 I'm just glad we got you home in one piece.
13:24 Why?
13:26 Did something go wrong?
13:27 Is there something wrong with your tube?
13:28 Oh, no, no, no. It's fine.
13:29 It's just we had a little bit of trouble outside the hospital.
13:32 What kind of trouble?
13:34 Some guy tries to park in our disabled bed.
13:38 Right wrong, anyway.
13:39 Yeah, it was all right.
13:40 There was a police officer walking by.
13:41 I told him to sling his hook.
13:43 If there's someone claiming to be disabled,
13:46 he ran away pretty quick.
13:48 Makes you wonder what goes through some people's heads.
13:51 It was the fact that when he was clearly caught,
13:53 he still didn't back down.
13:54 I mean, you know, it's one thing trying it on.
13:56 But when you are confronted, you know, show some compassion.
14:01 Well, it sounds like the five-0 were in the right place
14:03 at the right time for once.
14:05 Certainly were.
14:08 Hey, is that bloke that you were chatting to the other day?
14:12 Really nice guy.
14:14 Yeah, but she forgot his name.
14:16 We could have given the police station a ring and said thank you.
14:18 Ah, Chess.
14:29 You've got to be well intelligent for that.
14:31 Always fancied giving it a go.
14:32 Perhaps you could teach me.
14:39 Not a fast learner.
14:41 But I get there eventually.
14:43 My old teacher in school said I was like a lift.
14:46 Slowed and run up the stairs.
14:48 But I always get to the same floor as everyone else.
14:50 Roy, isn't he?
14:57 Got a mutual friend.
14:59 Though he didn't say anything about you being a chess guy.
15:01 This is exciting.
15:02 What are you doing sitting down?
15:05 I don't want you here.
15:07 No need for that.
15:08 This is my space.
15:10 It's mine.
15:11 My space.
15:13 My place.
15:15 I need you to leave.
15:16 Get out!
15:20 Now!
15:21 I'm going.
15:22 I'm going.
15:23 Here you go, guys.
15:33 Just take a seat over there.
15:34 OK.
15:35 What have you done that for?
15:37 OK.
15:38 Just calm down, OK?
15:40 I've just had my dad on the phone, wondering why I didn't
15:42 tell him what was going on.
15:44 So why did you ring him?
15:45 I had to.
15:46 Yeah, he did, Simon.
15:47 I was there.
15:48 And he was only trying to do what's best.
15:49 Why did you tell him I was struggling?
15:51 Yeah, I only told him what you told me.
15:52 He needs to know.
15:53 He needs advice and support.
15:56 And what do you expect him to do?
15:57 Because all you've gone and done is worry him.
15:59 Well, he's your dad.
16:00 He's bound to worry.
16:01 Which is why you shouldn't have got him
16:02 involved in the first place.
16:03 We're worried about you, Simon.
16:05 Really worried.
16:06 We don't think you should go on this retreat.
16:07 You need to be around family, not strangers.
16:10 Yeah, we want to help.
16:11 Well, you can start by not giving my dad a reason
16:13 to hit the bottle again.
16:14 Or did that not occur to either of you,
16:16 that I might tip him over the edge?
16:18 Keep your noses out of my business.
16:20 And stop talking about me behind my back.
16:21 Let me go after him.
16:26 I'll sort it.
16:29 Got your message.
16:29 What is it?
16:30 They've released a statement.
16:32 Who?
16:33 The production company.
16:34 Who else?
16:35 Sorry.
16:36 Been a bit of a day.
16:37 Well, they've agreed it was one-sided
16:39 and said that they'll reach out to the victim's families
16:41 if they make a second series.
16:42 So they're planning on doing it again to someone else?
16:45 Maybe, but at least Arnold will have
16:47 to go through what you did.
16:48 It's too little, too late.
16:50 They're only saying it for publicity.
16:51 No, you should be really proud.
16:53 You made them listen.
16:55 If they'd have listened, they would stop showing it.
16:57 [CHATTER]
17:01 Can I come in, or are you still mad at me?
17:10 You weren't the one who told my dad everything, were you?
17:15 Well, no, but I do agree with Nick calling you dad.
17:20 I don't think you should be so hard on him as trying his best.
17:22 Yeah, well, I'm an adult.
17:23 I can make my own choices.
17:25 Yeah, nobody's saying otherwise.
17:26 But even adults need advice and support.
17:30 Don't be ungrateful.
17:32 There's plenty of people out there
17:33 who love the kind of support network you've got.
17:37 So you're not going then?
17:40 I don't know.
17:42 Well, you're an adult. You'll figure it out.
17:45 My dad's offered me a job out there with him.
17:53 Well, that's good, isn't it?
17:56 Yeah, but only if it's real.
17:59 I don't know if it will be after last time.
18:01 So what are you going to do?
18:03 I don't know.
18:04 A part of me wants to go to this retreat.
18:05 But if the job is real, then of course I'm interested.
18:09 Yeah, a few months earning on a yacht,
18:10 that could set you up, that.
18:12 And you'd get to see loads of new places.
18:14 What if he's only doing it because Nick told him?
18:17 I don't think your dad needs an excuse to want to be with you.
18:19 (POLICE SIREN WAILS)
18:21 Oh, come on.
18:27 Are you purposely doing a bad job just to make a point?
18:30 Could you dig yourself a bigger hole today?
18:32 Look, I've got paperwork to do, right? I don't want to do it.
18:35 Sometimes we all have to do...
18:36 So, Daisy, best back off.
18:39 Go and stick the kettle on. I'm working up a thirst here.
18:42 Oh, yeah, I'll do it.
18:48 Oh, you've got to be joking.
18:49 I can't be the only one that ever fills this thing up.
18:52 (PHONE RINGS)
18:54 Yeah. No, no, yeah, he's here now.
19:08 Yeah, can I escalate this, though, please?
19:10 Because I've had a bunch of staff sat around all day with nothing to do.
19:14 OK, yeah, can you get your manager to call me back?
19:16 OK, bye.
19:17 Hi. Erm, the tracker said this was going to be delivered yesterday.
19:21 Bethany!
19:25 Wait! Leave me alone.
19:27 Bethany, please.
19:28 Oh, come on. How long are you going to ignore me for?
19:31 Can we just talk about this like adults?
19:33 OK. What do you want to say?
19:35 Well, can...can we go somewhere and...and chat properly?
19:39 No, I don't want to.
19:41 I'm so sorry.
19:42 If you're sorry, then you will give me some space.
19:46 (CAR ENGINE RUMBLES)
19:48 Everything all right, Bethany?
20:00 Oh, come in, love, come in. Come in.
20:02 Kate!
20:12 Please, I don't want to talk about it any more.
20:14 No, it's not about that.
20:15 I wanted to say thanks for helping out Paul earlier.
20:17 You don't have to. The guy deserved an ear bash.
20:19 Yeah, but still, it means a lot.
20:21 How is he? Did he get back OK?
20:25 Yeah, yeah, he's resting.
20:27 Good. You know, it can't be nice,
20:28 but it seems like he's handled it like a trooper.
20:31 Well, thanks anyway.
20:34 Wait.
20:37 Yesterday, I meant what I said.
20:39 See, I don't want to see you around.
20:41 I've got a lot on the ball. Here's your son.
20:44 You know, I really would love the chance to tell you everything,
20:46 you know, explain everything.
20:48 Please, Kate, I'm losing him. I don't want to lose you too.
20:51 You can't lose what you've already thrown away.
20:53 Yeah, yeah, I did that, and I'll take the guilt of it to my grave.
20:56 And I know I can't make up for all those years,
20:58 but if you'd just give me a chance to explain,
21:00 and if you never want to see me again after that, I promise,
21:03 I'll leave you alone.
21:05 What good will it do?
21:06 It can't make anything worse.
21:08 Nothing can be worse than me and you not being able to...
21:10 see each other or talk to each other.
21:12 Look, please, Kate, just hear me out.
21:15 And we don't have to do it here, but...
21:17 please?
21:19 Good, so do you.
21:22 Why? Who else was you expecting?
21:24 Oh, I just had a run on door-to-door sales.
21:27 There's only so many times you can tell them
21:29 you've already got insurance and they believe you.
21:32 Kev about, is he?
21:33 No, he's out, but you can ring him.
21:35 No, no, it's... it's you that I wanted.
21:38 Right, well, unless you're trying to sell me insurance,
21:40 I'm all ears.
21:42 Erm...
21:43 Well, what is it? Has something happened?
21:47 What? No.
21:48 Well...
21:50 Shall we sit down?
21:52 What do you mean, sit down?
21:54 Ty, you're scaring me.
21:56 MUSIC PLAYS
21:58 Right, OK, I'm not so sure if I'm doing the right thing or not,
22:12 but what I'm saying is, if it was me, you know, I would want to...
22:15 Tyrone, whatever it is, please, just get to the point.
22:18 Talk about waffling on.
22:20 Right, OK, erm, I got an email,
22:22 and I opened the email, it was an attachment,
22:24 so I opened the attachment and it was a video.
22:28 Right.
22:29 No, like a video.
22:31 Like a sex tape.
22:33 Right, it was just someone's daft idea of a joke,
22:37 so delete the video and block whoever sent it.
22:40 Well, it was you that was in the tape.
22:44 SHE LAUGHS
22:47 No way!
22:48 I've done some stupid things in my life,
22:50 but a sex tape is not one of them.
22:53 Look, it might be dark and grainy, but it's definitely you.
22:55 There you go.
23:04 So, tell Aunty Mary all about it.
23:07 Well, erm, I've fallen out with my mum.
23:11 And things aren't exactly great between me and Daniel.
23:16 I'm sorry to hear it.
23:18 Seeing Nathan again, that's done it.
23:21 I just feel so anxious all the time, and...snappy.
23:25 Makes my blood boil to think of the likes of him roaming our streets.
23:29 I shouldn't let him get to me.
23:32 Do you remember how you faced him in court?
23:37 You stood there and you told the truth.
23:40 Your testimony, your strength,
23:43 put him where he deserved to be.
23:45 Try and harness that strength again.
23:47 You mustn't let him affect the way you live your life now.
23:50 Keep the people you love close to you and...
23:54 and stick two fingers up to the past.
23:56 I have got no memory of this whatsoever.
24:02 It must have been filmed when I was out of it.
24:05 What do you think's done it?
24:07 Oh...
24:09 There's this bloke that I used to hang out with back in the day.
24:12 He's called Dean. He's a drug dealer. He's hard as nails.
24:15 Sounds like a proper scumbag.
24:16 He came to see me today out the blue.
24:19 What did he want?
24:21 Money. Can you forward me that email and attachment?
24:24 I'm gonna get changed. I'm gonna go and see the police.
24:27 Surely they can prove who sent it.
24:29 Yeah, yeah, good plan. Do you want me to come with you?
24:31 I thought you were picking up that ford.
24:32 - I'm supposed to be, but... - Thanks, Dad, but I'll be fine on my own.
24:35 Don't worry. This isn't a hostage situation.
24:40 I'm not locking you in, I'm locking other people out.
24:45 Right, I know I've no right to ask, but, erm...
24:48 what were you doing at the hospital?
24:50 I was enquiring about getting tested for MND.
24:53 It's pointless, really.
24:55 Being asked loads of questions about my family's medical history.
24:59 What would I know?
25:01 Well, like I said, you've got a different dad, so...
25:04 it's highly unlikely that you're gay.
25:07 I'm not sure I'd be interested in that.
25:12 You can ask me anything you want.
25:17 Cos we're a pretty healthy lot, really.
25:20 Yeah. Pretty robust.
25:23 I mean, me auntie Nellie, she had a glass eye,
25:25 and me uncle Len had very bandy legs, but that was down to the rickets.
25:29 We make whole bones, usually.
25:31 Our Paul's been very unlucky.
25:34 This is a mistake.
25:39 You know, you and your family have obviously got a lot to deal with.
25:43 You gave me away, I'm happy to stay gone.
25:46 Yeah, but you are our family.
25:48 You're our blood.
25:50 It means nothing.
25:51 I'm more inclined to judge a person by their actions.
25:54 I hurt you deeply.
25:57 And you want to hurt me back.
26:00 I don't blame you.
26:02 You mean less than nothing to me.
26:04 Same as I am to you.
26:07 No.
26:09 No, that's not true.
26:11 Just bear with me for one second.
26:14 I just need to bob out, cos there's something that I need to show you.
26:18 You won't leg it, will you? Cos you promised you'd hear me out.
26:22 Fine.
26:23 Mate, I know you're in there.
26:27 It's not like you just nipped down the pub for a swift half.
26:30 It's me, Russ Stone, your friendly neighbour.
26:34 Please leave me alone.
26:37 Sorry, I've asked you before.
26:39 If anything's faced like that, I promise you, I'll stay this side of the door.
26:43 Look, will you kindly go away?
26:46 I do not wish to fraternise with you or anybody else.
26:51 You won't, Chad.
26:52 The little guard is staying in Southern Post, old shrew.
26:55 Look, if you won't go away, I shall call the guards.
27:02 No, don't do that. I'm not going to harm you.
27:05 Why won't you desist?
27:09 What is it you want from me?
27:11 All right, all right, I admit it. I do have an ulterior motive for seeking you out.
27:15 But honestly, it's nothing sinister.
27:18 Simon, good to see you.
27:26 All packed and ready to go.
27:30 You've made the right decision joining us at our retreat.
27:33 I wish I'd had that opportunity at your age.
27:35 Actually, he's not coming.
27:37 Yeah, I didn't mean to mess you around, but I was going to text.
27:40 I'm sorry to hear that. Is there a problem?
27:44 No, not now there isn't.
27:46 I didn't mean to waste your time.
27:48 Not at all. I want what's best for you, whatever that is.
27:52 Well, I've got a job with my dad. He's working abroad at the moment.
27:57 Yeah, we thought it was a great opportunity for Simon, you know, travel the world,
28:01 be with someone who's got his best interests at heart.
28:04 Sounds good. I hope you have a brilliant time.
28:07 When you get back, got that travel bug out your system, you know where we are.
28:11 Anyway, we won't keep you.
28:13 Are you off to the retreat?
28:15 I am.
28:16 Would you fill Leanne in? I think she'd want to know what's going on.
28:20 I'm so glad she's with us.
28:22 I'm sure she's going to be open to everything we have to offer.
28:27 (Door opens)
28:28 (Door closes)
28:31 What was that you said?
28:33 Remember, I told you, we've got a mutual pal.
28:36 Stu Carpenter. He's an old mate of mine we met when we were in the Navy.
28:40 Stu?
28:41 He asked me to call by and say hello. But you know what, if you prefer, I'll leave you be.
28:46 It's very kind of him to think of me.
28:48 Well, he said you're a decent bloke.
28:50 He told me to look out for you, but I can't do that if you hold up in your cell 24 hours a day.
28:56 (Door opens)
28:57 Roy Cropper. I'm pleased to meet you.
29:02 Roscoe. Just one name.
29:04 Weatherfield Clink's answer to Elvis.
29:06 Excuse my reticence early hours.
29:09 I'm finding this whole experience extremely underwhelming.
29:13 Yeah, well, you're right to be cautious.
29:15 Don't know where you stand on the notion of evil,
29:17 but I know cons in here who could throw shade on the devil.
29:20 Hmm.
29:21 Hey, little birdie told me this was your favourite book.
29:25 Now, I got it from the library, so it's going to have to go back eventually.
29:29 You don't want theft being added to your list of crimes.
29:31 Not that you've committed any, can't I, Stu?
29:34 Thank you.
29:36 I shall enjoy rereading this. It's...
29:39 It's like an old friend.
29:41 Well, I'm your shiny new friend, so don't be a stranger.
29:46 (Door opens)
29:48 I hope you're taking your biscuits in for a while.
30:04 Hilarious.
30:05 I must say, I'm intrigued. What's he eating?
30:08 Nothing.
30:09 You walking around with a tin of nothing.
30:12 Weird.
30:15 Right, eh?
30:17 What do you mean? You've seen the video clip online. Where?
30:23 Comment section of my Gazette interview.
30:27 No. No, no, honestly, thanks for telling me.
30:31 (Car door opens)
30:33 If you must know, I've got back into my crocheting.
30:54 Oh, nightmare. Some things are better off left in the past.
30:58 Well, I've got all my hooks and my yarns and my whatnots.
31:01 She once crocheted me and Gemma,
31:03 Balaclavas that were joined together at the top.
31:06 Conjoining Hidway?
31:08 Why?
31:09 Why not? I wanted them to play nicely together.
31:12 My next project's matching onesies for you two.
31:15 (Laughs)
31:16 See you, Bernie.
31:17 See you.
31:18 See you.
31:19 (Sniffs)
31:21 (Sighs)
31:23 (Sniffs)
31:25 (Breathes heavily)
31:28 (Sniffs)
31:30 (Gasps)
31:31 (Music plays)
31:34 I wasn't sure if you'd be back today.
31:50 I found all those parts I needed for the MG Midget, you know?
31:54 Steering wheel with a wooden fin, walnut gear knobs.
31:57 Mr Harden's going to be well chuffed.
32:00 I have to say, fair play to you, Kev.
32:02 I mean, look at you. All calm and laid back.
32:05 I've only been to the old sailors.
32:07 Put the kettle on and perched.
32:09 I bet you I'd be going for something a bit stronger.
32:11 Hitting the bottle.
32:13 Am I missing something?
32:14 Abi's put you through so much over the years, but this?
32:17 I mean, surely she's gone too far this time.
32:20 Can't imagine how you must be feeling.
32:22 The humiliation.
32:24 Cassie, stop talking and flaming riddles.
32:26 Not got a clue what you're on about.
32:28 Hey. How did it go?
32:33 Er, pretty well, actually.
32:35 Good. I, er, I made this for you.
32:38 (Doorbell rings)
32:39 Who's this now?
32:40 Oh, I asked my mum to come round. I hope that's OK.
32:43 Yeah, of course it is.
32:44 Come up.
32:46 Listen.
32:49 Well done for today.
32:51 I'm really proud of you.
32:53 Hmm.
32:54 You're very demonstrative all of a sudden.
32:56 Oh, we'll finish this later.
32:59 Oh!
33:00 Hi. Hey.
33:01 I got your text.
33:03 I'll leave you to it.
33:04 You all right, sweetheart?
33:09 I am so sorry.
33:11 Yeah, so am I.
33:12 Gosh, we're a right pair of twits, aren't we?
33:15 No, I realised that was making everything about me.
33:19 And actually, it must have been really difficult for you as well,
33:22 with Nathan being around.
33:24 It just brought back a lot of painful feelings.
33:27 Yeah, too right it did.
33:29 If I'm being honest, I don't think that I dealt with things very well
33:33 and I shouldn't have given him that money.
33:35 Yeah, but you thought that it was going to get rid of him
33:37 and I know your heart was in the right place.
33:39 Well, I was just trying to look out for you,
33:41 as I failed so spectacularly last time.
33:43 You didn't. Don't say that. You did your best.
33:46 Listen, Kev, there's something I've got to tell you.
34:06 The kids are fine, so don't worry about them.
34:09 Just...if you could just...
34:12 Just try and stay calm.
34:14 This is torture. I don't know how to start.
34:22 It's not like you to be stuck for words.
34:24 You, er, made me a promise.
34:28 You said you'd been totally honest about your past.
34:33 Everything out in the open.
34:37 Why did you lie to me?
34:39 I've never forgiven myself for what I did to you, but I had no choice.
34:46 Danny knew you weren't his, so that was it.
34:48 For Neato.
34:50 And there was no way I could cope on my own with a new baby
34:53 and two mad toddlers.
34:55 Giving you up, it nearly killed me.
34:59 And I missed you like mad.
35:02 And when things got too much, I reminded myself
35:04 that I'd done it for you, to give you a better life.
35:07 And were they all right, your mum and dad?
35:11 Cos once you were adopted, they didn't really tell me anything.
35:14 I just had to trust the universe.
35:16 They were good, honest, down-to-earth people.
35:19 First favour they did was drop that ridiculous name.
35:23 Zodiac.
35:24 Saved me a lifetime of ridicule.
35:31 You contacted me when I was 21.
35:34 We arranged to meet. Why didn't you show?
35:38 For hours I was waiting in a nasty little cafe.
35:42 Turns out you rejected me all over again.
35:45 I was weak, I was pathetic.
35:47 Why did you want to seek me out if you had no intention of coming?
35:50 Oh, man, you're so interested in telling the truth.
35:54 So let's hear it. Why didn't you show?
35:56 Cos I was drunk.
35:59 I'd been on a bender the night before
36:01 and I needed Dutch courage in the morning.
36:03 So you left me there because you were wasted?
36:07 I was so scared.
36:09 The thought of seeing you again after all those years.
36:12 I knew you'd hate me. I couldn't deal with it.
36:15 How do you think I felt?
36:18 You know, the chance to meet my real mum, my own flesh and blood,
36:22 and you couldn't even get it together to turn up.
36:27 You're the one who made a massive thing of telling the truth.
36:30 Turns out I only got half a tale.
36:33 I haven't deliberately kept any secrets from you.
36:36 I wanted our relationship to be based on honesty.
36:40 It's not, though, is it?
36:43 I can't unsee that video.
36:45 It'll be stuck in my head forever.
36:48 You and that grotty Liam.
36:50 Doing that with God knows who.
36:53 I know it's shocking.
36:56 But imagine how I feel, knowing that someone's exploited me like that.
37:00 But let's not pretend I've lived the life of a nun.
37:06 We've all got past.
37:08 Done things we're not proud of, but...
37:10 ..this.
37:12 You've sunk to a new low.
37:14 I was completely out of it.
37:20 Heroin, it annihilates you.
37:22 I look at that video...
37:25 ..and I don't remember anything.
37:27 Can you imagine how terrifying that is?
37:29 Do you judge him, me?
37:34 I can see it in your eyes. You're ashamed of me.
37:40 You told me about your life.
37:43 All the mistakes you made.
37:45 The shame it brought.
37:49 Trouble is, imagining what you did is one thing.
37:54 Seeing it for myself is another.
37:57 I'm sorry, I just...
38:01 I just can't hack it.
38:03 Hey, some members of your fan club are here.
38:13 Your number one groupie, Mary.
38:15 Ah, could I have a quick word with her?
38:18 Yeah, yeah. You're on.
38:20 Give him my love, Mary.
38:22 Tell him to keep his pecker up.
38:24 Roy won't thank you for talk of peckers.
38:26 Hello, Roy. How are you today?
38:28 Well, er... I've made a new acquaintance.
38:32 He brought a book from the prison library for me.
38:36 Oliver Twist.
38:37 Oliver Twist? Oh, dear me, no, no, no, no.
38:41 Suffering orphans, and then poor Nancy.
38:44 The bullet didn't do for her, and then that nasty Bill Sykes
38:47 beat the very life out of her.
38:49 Yes, well, when you put it like that...
38:51 You'd be better off with the marrying keys.
38:53 I've got one in my tallboy.
38:55 I can bring it along if the powers that be allow it.
38:58 Well, that is very kind, but on this occasion I shall decline.
39:01 I've also got a Jilly Cooper, but I fear that might be, erm...
39:05 a little bit too racy.
39:07 Would you thank Stu for me?
39:12 Oh, what am I thanking Stu for?
39:14 He asked his friend Roscoe to visit me.
39:17 A fellow jailbird.
39:20 And we're embarking on a game of chess later.
39:23 Roy says thank you for sending him a new playmate.
39:25 Tell him he's very welcome.
39:27 Slaughter him, Roy.
39:29 Checkmate him within an inch of his life.
39:31 Show him who's boss.
39:33 But bye, Mary.
39:34 You've met them both now, your brother and your sister?
39:41 Wouldn't you like to get to know them better?
39:43 Cos they'd welcome you with open arms.
39:46 Our Gemma's the right gobby piece.
39:49 Wonder where she gets that from.
39:51 She's fierce, you know.
39:54 But she's full of love.
39:57 She's a brilliant mum to them kids.
40:00 What, you missing the chance to have a pop at me?
40:03 You slipping?
40:05 Paul seems like a nice, chilled bloke, considering.
40:09 Oh, he was a right little scally, but now...
40:12 Now he's got the love of a good man. That's sorted him out.
40:16 And I just feel so sad that I'll never get to see the person
40:19 he would have become later in life.
40:21 It's tough.
40:24 Like I said, you've got a lot on your plate.
40:28 But to tell you the truth, I'm glad I was adopted.
40:31 The way I see it, I had a lucky escape.
40:36 - Don't go yet. - I've heard enough.
40:38 Look, it's fate that we found each other.
40:40 You're part of our family, like it or not, you're one of us.
40:43 You abandon me, Bernie. A few cards and a biscuit tin,
40:46 is it going to make a difference?
40:48 I feel sorry for you.
40:51 Drowning in your own sentimentality,
40:53 convincing yourself that it means you care.
40:55 Don't say that. I do. I do care, deeply.
40:58 Just stay out of my way.
41:00 You've done it for over 30 years.
41:02 It shouldn't be that hard.
41:09 DOOR SLAMS
41:10 Are you OK?
41:19 I've deleted that video.
41:23 Can't delete it from your mind, though, can you?
41:25 Neither can anyone else who's seen it.
41:27 Do you have to think how many views it's had by now,
41:31 how many reposts it's had?
41:33 Look, I'm sorry it was horrible.
41:35 SHE GIGGLES
41:38 What are you watching?
41:40 Oh, nothing, really.
41:42 Just gizzard you? Excuse me?
41:44 Are you pathetic? Do you know that?
41:46 I'm sorry, but it's not a crime, is it? You disgust me.
41:49 Come on, I was just watching, like, Steven Seagal,
41:51 he's like a ninja in the jungle, he's high-kicking like Michael Flynn.
41:54 What is wrong with you? Are you like the fun police now, or what?
41:57 Sorry, mate. It's just unbelievable.
41:59 Sorry.
42:01 Come on, let's go home.
42:04 I just need to nip to the garage first, there's something I've got to do.
42:07 I think we've got a beach towel in the airing cupboard.
42:16 Might be a bit garish, but you don't mind, do you?
42:18 I am going to be working, you know.
42:20 I'm not just laying around on the deck all day.
42:22 Besides, I'm not going for a while yet, anyway.
42:24 Well, there's no harm in being prepared.
42:26 No, true.
42:27 I left some stuff in Sam's room, I'll go and check out what I've got.
42:32 I wonder what my mum's going to make of all this.
42:34 Oh, Si.
42:35 She'll be thrilled.
42:37 Anyway, you can tell her all about it yourself,
42:39 cos she'll be back before you leave.
42:41 Yeah.
42:42 Oh, you've hardly said a word since Rowan left.
42:50 I was so pleased that Simon had escaped his clutches.
42:55 I didn't think that would leave Leanne, you know.
42:58 How do you mean?
43:00 On her own, with Rowan.
43:02 Oh, hardly.
43:04 I mean, there's probably hundreds of people at that retreat.
43:06 Yeah, I know, but...
43:07 You know, I can feel her slipping away from me.
43:11 If you can get yourself off, Cassie, I'll lock up.
43:16 Fair enough.
43:18 Everything all right?
43:21 Preacher, yeah. Why'd you ask?
43:23 No biggie.
43:24 Just passing the time of day.
43:26 Right.
43:27 I'll see you.
43:28 See you tomorrow.
43:29 See you tomorrow.
43:30 All right, Dean, it's me.
43:47 Well played, mate. You played a blinder.
43:49 You win.
43:50 If you want to meet me at the precinct tomorrow,
43:52 I'll give you your cash.
