00:30Morning.
00:31Haven't you charged me yet?
00:37What's the hurry?
00:42You've got somewhere better to be.
00:53I just want to get it over with.
00:54Sorry to have left you here so long.
00:55I'll be conducting the interview as soon as your solicitor gets here.
00:56I didn't ask for a solicitor.
00:57I've been told somebody's organised one for you.
00:58Who?
00:59No idea.
01:00But they're on the way.
01:01And you'll need a bit of time with them before we start.
01:02What's the point?
01:03Best to have one.
01:04Accept all the help you can get.
01:05You must know who I am.
01:06What I've done.
01:07We'll try not to keep you waiting too much longer.
01:08Enjoy your breakfast.
01:09Morning.
01:10Morning.
01:11Yeah but if I had sent Amelia that selfie.
01:34Right?
01:35She wouldn't have posted it.
01:36Gary wouldn't have turned up and none of this would've happened.
01:38I just feel so stupid.
01:40Yeah. But you can't blame yourself. He just wanted to make a birthday special.
01:46And now I've ended up making it one of the worst.
01:48I think that ship's sailed a long time ago.
01:52You know, I was at the police station this morning, first thing. I couldn't sleep.
01:57They wouldn't let me see her, they wouldn't tell me anything.
01:59I just don't understand where any of this has come from, you know.
02:02I mean, I know she was upset because, you know, but to lose it like that with Wendy, I mean, where was her head at?
02:09She did say yesterday, before the police arrived, that she wanted to go back home.
02:15I think she wants to get herself arrested.
02:18But that makes no sense.
02:19I know, Mandy, but she's had a life none of us can understand.
02:22Spent most of it in prison, so ironically, it's the place she feels safest.
02:27But she never meant to hurt Wendy.
02:30If we could just persuade her to drop the complaint.
02:33Good luck with that.
02:35Shall I? Yeah.
02:39Come here.
02:41Right, I've done us a picnic. Tell Lucas to hurry up, we're off out.
02:44How we stay here?
02:46It's nearly the end of summer. Gotta get out, get some fresh air.
02:48Fresh air's boring.
02:50Fresh air is what keeps us alive.
02:53Look, we'll go down the lake, eat this, then we can go to the stables.
02:58What for?
02:59To see the horses.
03:00I've seen the horses.
03:01Are you gonna argue about everything?
03:03Maybe.
03:05Right, I might let you sit on the horses.
03:09Just so long as you have a bath afterwards, we can't risk any germs.
03:12Kim lets us sit on the horses, we don't have to have a bath after.
03:15No, she doesn't.
03:17When's she coming home?
03:19I'm not sure.
03:21Is she with Granny Rose?
03:22No.
03:23I miss Granny Rose. Can we go see her?
03:26No, you can't. She's never coming back.
03:28Why?
03:30Stop asking so many questions and go and get Lucas, we're going out.
03:35Kids.
03:40For God's sakes.
03:42Moira, it's me again.
03:44Why aren't you picking up?
03:45I just want to know what time you're gonna come back home.
03:48Can you call me and let me know? Yeah, thanks a lot, bye.
03:53Why aren't you eating that?
03:54I don't like cheese.
03:55Well, you liked it yesterday.
03:57Can we have chocolate spread?
03:58We haven't got any.
03:59It's in the cupboard.
04:00Can you just eat that?
04:03When's Mum coming home?
04:04Today.
04:05What time?
04:06I don't know.
04:07Call her and find out.
04:08She's busy.
04:09Isn't she answering?
04:11I want Mum.
04:12Can you just shut up and eat your butties?
04:15It's not her fault she's not talking to you.
04:23You know what, you're right.
04:24She'll be home soon.
04:26Where's the chocolate spread?
04:33Right, well...
04:36I bet I can guess why you're both here.
04:38Well, we just wanted to check up on you after yesterday.
04:41You had quite a shock.
04:43Yeah, you're telling me.
04:45You know, it was totally out of character for Ella.
04:49Here we go.
04:50Well, it was.
04:51Was it, though?
04:53I mean, we don't really know her.
04:55And what we do know, it's not great.
04:58Well, that was in the past.
04:59It's who she is.
05:00Who she was, Wendy.
05:02Look, why are you both on her side when you should be supporting me?
05:06No, we are.
05:07Look, we understand how difficult it must have been,
05:11but you were never really in any danger.
05:15Um, Liam...
05:16Are you serious?
05:17Look at the state of her!
05:19I was on my own with her.
05:21I had no idea what she was going to do next,
05:23and, yes, I was.
05:24I was scared.
05:25I mean, she...
05:26She just wasn't herself.
05:28Exactly.
05:29She did what she did because Gary turned up like that.
05:32She...
05:33She did it so that you'd call the police.
05:36She wanted to punish herself.
05:37She wanted to end up back in prison.
05:40Well, maybe that's where she should be.
05:42No.
05:43Look, I tried.
05:44I tried to talk to her.
05:45I tried to be her friend, but...
05:47She...
05:48She went crazy.
05:49It was like a switch flipped and she...
05:51She lost it.
05:52I mean, we can't just gloss over that.
05:55She deserves another chance.
05:57Liam...
05:58Liam...
05:59She's had plenty of chances,
06:00and she threw them all back in our faces.
06:02You're just letting your feelings get in the way of the facts.
06:06What she did was wrong.
06:08And let's face it, it's not a first offence, so...
06:11I think justice should take its course.
06:14Please, Wendy.
06:16If she ends up back inside,
06:19she will go back to square one.
06:28Well, looks like your furniture's turned up.
06:31I knew it was you.
06:34This is really petty, Laurel.
06:36I expected better of you.
06:37Oh, I can't be bothered to talk to you, Jay.
06:39Have a nice life.
06:40I am so glad I'm not part of it.
06:43Not as glad as I am.
06:45All right.
06:47Never better.
06:48Taking that one to the tip.
06:50What do you mean?
06:51That's my stuff.
06:52I'm moving in here.
06:53Oh, right.
06:55Happy new home.
06:56Thanks.
06:57Glad to have my freedom back.
06:59Shall we, um, stop this sniping?
07:01Yeah.
07:03Maybe deal with this like adults.
07:06Is this the woman who stole my furniture?
07:08Oh, come on. Please, let's just stop.
07:11This isn't good for us.
07:12It's not good for the kids.
07:14It's not hard to have an amicable divorce, you know,
07:18if we're reasonable.
07:19We just split what's fair and we keep what's ours.
07:22You know what? That doesn't work for me anymore.
07:24I need the money.
07:25You don't need the money.
07:26You're just squirrelling it away.
07:29Well, I'd like to see you prove that.
07:31What happened to you?
07:33What happened to the man that I fell in love with?
07:37I'm exactly the same as I've always been.
07:40Only now I'm skint.
07:42Yeah, if you say so.
07:43Well, I hope whatever dodgy dealings you're doing
07:46is finally going to make you happy, Jay.
07:52I never wanted a birthday party.
07:54I don't want to be reminded of what day it is.
07:57But my friends talk me round.
07:59I should have known better.
08:02I can't do the stuff people take for granted.
08:05Gary had every right to be angry, I don't blame him.
08:09But it was still hard, you know?
08:11Seeing him, dealing with him.
08:14I had to get out of there.
08:16Where did he go?
08:17You don't need to answer that.
08:19Into the street.
08:21Gary followed me, he wouldn't leave me alone.
08:24That's when Wendy found me and tried to help.
08:27She took me to the surgery.
08:29Then what happened?
08:30You don't need to answer that.
08:32She could see I was in a stir.
08:34She was trying to be nice.
08:36And it wound me up.
08:37Why would that wind you up?
08:39You don't need to answer that either.
08:41Because of where my head was at.
08:43My client was in crisis, as stated by her GP.
08:47I was angry and I hit her.
08:49I don't think you should say any more.
08:51Why? I'm telling the truth.
08:53My client and I need to talk in private.
08:55No we don't. I don't need you.
08:57I was retained as your solicitor by Dr Kavanagh.
09:01Liam?
09:02Why would he do that?
09:04He's concerned for your welfare.
09:06He was here this morning when he called my office.
09:10Well, you can thank him, but he's wasting his money.
09:12They're going to bang me up.
09:24Hey, love.
09:25Me and the kids are just about to watch a film, if you fancy joining us.
09:28Where are they?
09:29In the playroom.
09:31Good, because I don't want them to hear this.
09:34Why? Is everything all right?
09:37Not really.
09:38Look, there's a chance that Evan might need a bone marrow transplant.
09:45So they want us all to get tested.
09:47And what's that?
09:50So they want us all to get tested.
09:52Just in case.
09:55Including Mum.
10:00I've got your text. What's up?
10:02I just spoke to the solicitor.
10:04Ella sent her packing.
10:05Why would she do that?
10:07I mean, she's obviously not thinking straight.
10:08Well, sadly, I think she is.
10:10She knows what she wants, and it's to be back inside.
10:12Right, well, we need to find a way of getting through to her then.
10:14Yeah, but how? I can't...
10:20Hello, Ella.
10:21We were just talking about you.
10:23I didn't think they'd let you out.
10:25Did they charge you?
10:28No.
10:30I'd confessed.
10:32I was back in the cell, but then they told me that the witness had dropped the complaint and that I could go.
10:36What?
10:37Well, I spoke to Wendy. I mean, she wasn't even prepared to consider it.
10:39Well, she must have changed her mind.
10:41You didn't need to get involved.
10:43I did it for you.
10:47We're so worried.
10:50I'm so happy to see you, but I must say I'm quite surprised.
10:54I wasn't sure if you'd want to come back.
10:56I'm surprised myself.
10:59I'd got it into my head that I'd be better off back inside, but...
11:03when they said I could go, I was relieved.
11:05I couldn't believe it.
11:07I didn't know where else to go.
11:09But this is your home.
11:10Is it?
11:11Yeah.
11:13Look, I'd understand if you and Wendy and Manpreet don't want me around after yesterday.
11:19Is it OK if I stay at the salon for a couple of days so I can move on?
11:22Find somewhere new?
11:23I want you here.
11:25We all do.
11:26We can't let you leave.
11:29Why don't you just stay at mine?
11:31You've already done enough.
11:32You should not be on your own.
11:33I'm used to it.
11:34A pokey little bed above a salon is not a home.
11:38You need somewhere stable to get your life back on track, and that's what I'm offering.
11:42As a friend, of course.
11:43Are you sure?
11:44If I were you, I'd bite his hand off.
11:48Go on, what did you say?
11:51Did you report her missing to the police?
11:53Of course I did, yeah.
11:54But they weren't much use.
11:56Look, she's a grown woman.
11:57She packed her own bags and left, and...
11:59considering the last time she did that, we didn't see her for 20-odd years,
12:02they're not going to send out a search party, are they?
12:04Why would you tell them all that?
12:06Because it's relevant.
12:08She don't put down roots.
12:09Well, not with us, anyway.
12:11So I'm sorry, love, but according to them, this is not to worry about.
12:15Well, I am worried, because she's not even answering her phone.
12:18Look, I think we need to get Kim's private investigator involved.
12:21Maybe.
12:23Why are you being like this?
12:24I'm saying we need to find Mum ASAP.
12:26Look, even if we do, it doesn't mean to say that she'll come back.
12:29You know how selfish she is?
12:30She might not be up for an operation or for having a scar.
12:33No.
12:34No, she loves Evan and she wouldn't let him down.
12:36Well, there's got more faith in her than I have.
12:40We all need to get tested.
12:42No exceptions.
12:44So I am going to do everything I can to find her.
12:54He just crashed.
12:59Hey, you all right?
13:01Oh, it's you.
13:02Oh, what a lovely warm welcome.
13:04I thought you were Moira. She's due back any time.
13:07She's not coming home tonight.
13:09You what?
13:10She sent me a message.
13:11When?
13:12Earlier.
13:13What, you didn't tell me?
13:14I thought you already knew.
13:15Oh, I don't believe it.
13:16Sorry, Dad.
13:17Right, you two will have to play on your own now.
13:19He's no good.
13:20Well, teach him. Make yourself useful for once.
13:23Get in.
13:24Ignore your dad, boys.
13:26Oi, don't take your bad mood out on them.
13:29I've been calling her all day and he gets a message.
13:31Well, that's not his fault, is it?
13:33Sure she'll be back tomorrow?
13:35Don't bother. She can do what she likes.
13:37Yeah, obviously.
13:39Give me a break.
13:40Oh, come on, Cain. It's not fair on the kids.
13:43The last thing they need is you and Moira having a drink problem.
13:46It's one can.
13:47Never is one can when you're in this kind of mood.
13:49You shouldn't be knocking it back and then telling her that she can't.
13:52Yeah, well, she's not even here.
13:54Oh, you know what I mean.
13:56You need to support her by cutting back.
13:58I don't think it really is a drink.
14:00Maybe you got it wrong.
14:01No, it was you the one that said she was different,
14:03that she was moody and she was always picking fights.
14:05Yeah, well, I was just letting off steam.
14:07You know I can overreact.
14:08Make up your mind, Cain.
14:09Look, it's nothing.
14:10She'll be back tomorrow and everything will be right.
14:18Right.
14:19Hey.
14:20So you going to be having a housewarming?
14:21No.
14:22It's only temporary, isn't it?
14:24Just so that I look skin.
14:26Smart move. You're a picture of poverty.
14:28I wouldn't go that far.
14:29I'm impressed.
14:31No money, no mates,
14:33basically nothing left since Laurel gave you the boot.
14:36Do you know what?
14:37It's a smart look for a man heading into the divorce courts.
14:43Things look tense with you and Laurel before.
14:45Yeah, she's trying to get me to back down, isn't she,
14:48and make her not sell the house.
14:50All of a sudden, she wants to be amicable.
14:52Yeah, well, we all say that.
14:53It always gets messy, no matter how reasonable it seems.
14:56Maybe I don't need to tie up all of my money, you know?
15:02Well, it's better to be safe than sorry, isn't it?
15:04And it's a great investment.
15:06Yeah, well, how long till it pays out?
15:07I'll give it time. It's not going to happen overnight.
15:09I'm still waiting on the land.
15:11But I can pretty much guarantee
15:13there'll be a millionaire coming this time next year.
15:15Yeah?
15:16I don't want to be waiting that long.
15:18It'll be worth it.
15:19Better had be.
15:27Right, well, make yourself at home.
15:29You know where everything goes.
15:31And just put anything wherever you want.
15:34You can leave your bra on the door handle, if you like.
15:39I'm only saying that because Mandy's always leaving her bras lying around.
15:43I should really just stop talking about bras, shouldn't I?
15:45Yeah. You're being weird.
15:47Yeah, I am. Sorry.
15:49Are you having second thoughts?
15:51No, absolutely not.
15:52No, I want you here.
15:55Is this OK? I haven't put too much pressure on you?
15:57No. I still can't believe you asked me to move back in.
16:01After everything I did,
16:03to give me a second chance.
16:05You're a special man, Liam Kavanagh.
16:07Well, we're friends.
16:09It's what friends do, eh? We help each other.
16:13And I'm grateful, but...
16:15but I don't think everybody would be so keen to have me back.
16:18Especially Wendy.
16:20I'm sure she'll understand.
16:22She's always been so kind to me.
16:24She didn't deserve that.
16:26I know it's no excuse, but...
16:28yesterday, my birthday,
16:30I was already feeling the pressure,
16:32and then Gary turned up and it...
16:34it just got too much.
16:36Yeah.
16:38You won't do anything like that again, will you?
16:40No. I've got far too much to lose now.
16:42Good.
16:44Look, why don't I just get us a take-out, a bottle of wine,
16:47and we can celebrate your fresh start?
16:49That'd be lovely.
16:51Great. Well, you get settled.
16:53Won't be long.
17:21Mum? Where are you?
17:23Look, I need you.
17:25It's about Evan.
17:27He might need a bone marrow transplant.
17:29Please, come back.
17:31You need to get tested.
17:33Look, just call me when you get this, OK?
17:45Oh, for God's sake, Kim, stop ignoring me.
17:47We need to talk.
17:49If you have done something to Rose,
17:51you've got to tell me.
18:01Hi. Two lasagnas to take-away, please,
18:03and a side salad.
18:05We don't do take-aways.
18:07Oh, no, I texted Marlon, said he'd be fine.
18:09Oh, did you now? Go on, then.
18:11Thanks. And two sticky toffee puddings, my favourite.
18:13It's all a bit stodgy, isn't it?
18:15Don't tell Marlon that.
18:17Oh, no, I mean, it's delicious.
18:19I just mean, I'm going to be able to move afterwards.
18:21Well, moving's overrated.
18:23Who's the other one for, then?
18:25Is it Bear? Cos I know he likes to slob out after a big meal.
18:27Actually, it's, um...
18:29It's...
18:31It's Pharrella.
18:33She's moved back in with me.
18:35You don't waste any time, do you?
18:37I heard she'd been arrested.
18:39And released, yeah, thankfully.
18:41Well, I'm very pleased for the pair of you.
18:43We're just friends, nothing more.
18:45No, you don't need to explain.
18:47She's got you wrapped right around her finger.
18:49It's not like that.
18:51Right, I'm going to go and sort your order with Marlon.
18:53I won't be a sec. No, don't rush.
18:59I was, um...
19:01hoping to bump into you.
19:03Can I buy you a drink?
19:05I'm waiting for Bob and he won't be long.
19:07I just wanted to
19:09thank you for
19:11withdrawing your complaint against Ella.
19:13Well, you and Manpreet
19:15put me under a lot of pressure, so...
19:17We didn't mean to.
19:19Yes, you did, and it would have made us
19:21all working together very awkward
19:23if I'd have stuck to my guns.
19:25Well, I wouldn't have held it against you.
19:27I would have understood your reasons.
19:29It didn't feel like that. Anyway, look, it's done.
19:31Let's just hope I don't live to regret it, eh?
19:33You won't.
19:35Ella is a good person.
19:37I'm not sure I trust your judgment
19:39on that, Liam, because
19:41you were another side of her yesterday and it scared me.
19:43I mean, no matter
19:45what her reasons were, she's...
19:47she's clearly unstable.
19:49Is that your medical opinion?
19:51Oh, and is that you trying to undermine me?
19:53No, look...
19:55Ella knows what she did was wrong.
19:57She was acting irrationally
19:59because of Gary. She was upset.
20:01Oh, yeah, Gary upset her, but then, of course,
20:03he's still grieving from the
20:05last time she acted irrationally.
20:07Oh, no, that is not fair. Isn't it?
20:09Why is it that you can see it from her point of view
20:11and not from his? I can.
20:13Look, Ella has served her time.
20:15She can't keep paying for the past.
20:17What happened
20:19yesterday was in the present.
20:21She'd lost it and she attacked me.
20:23So what happens next time something
20:25goes wrong for her, hmm?
20:27Oh.
20:37Oh, has the film finished?
20:39Yeah, and we're hungry.
20:41You're always hungry. Tell you what,
20:43give me a minute and I'll come out and make some pasta.
20:45I'll tell you what, why don't you and Lucas
20:47go upstairs and wash your hands and then
20:49come back down and lay the table?
20:51Do we have to?
20:53Well, if you do, you might get
20:55cream for pudding. How's that?
20:57Sure.
21:25Hey.
21:27Spoke to Dad.
21:29He bought every word.
21:33I know, Billy, I hate
21:35lying about Evan, but it's the only way.
21:39He's not going to know
21:41what's hit him tomorrow.
