00:00Were you about to do something stupid?
00:04Kitty, it's quite simple.
00:08If it disappear without a trace,
00:12all I will end you.
01:00It's my life, and it's now or never.
01:19Hey, here she is.
01:21I made you some breakfast. You sleep well?
01:23I just wanna live my life.
01:29It's my life.
01:31My heart is like an open highway,
01:35but I make it so I'm doing it my way.
01:40Will you just stop following me around?
01:43I've had enough of you lingering in my living room like a bad smell all night.
01:47I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you.
01:51I ain't gonna live forever.
01:55I just wanna live my life.
02:02My heart is like an open highway,
02:07but I make it so I'm doing it my way.
02:11I just wanna live my life.
02:14Your dad's not happy with you.
02:16It's my life.
02:19Maybe something.
02:21I've made you my famous poached eggs.
02:23You'll break my heart if you don't touch it.
02:26What heart?
02:28What?
02:30I need to get to work.
02:33Does it hurt?
02:34Hey, Cleo, come in. Come in. Come in.
02:36Stay away from me!
02:39Look, Cleo, yesterday things got out of hand.
02:43Why don't you take the day off work, and I will as well,
02:46and, you know, I can spoil you.
02:48You've already spoiled everything.
02:50I still love you.
02:52No.
02:54See, you use that word, but you don't really know what it means.
02:57Do you do this to people that you love?
03:03I need to go to work.
03:04No, Cleo, don't leave. Don't leave!
03:06Please!
03:08Look, if I don't go to work, then people will ask questions, won't they?
03:21Today's just a bit last minute for a prison visit, OK?
03:24We've got a first day back at work tomorrow. We have to be sorted for it.
03:26Yeah, and listen, Warren needs to understand that he's not the big man about town anymore.
03:30He can't just click his fingers and everyone come running.
03:32Well, when we get Norma's post-mortem results back,
03:34it'll prove that he's innocent and he'll be back in the village.
03:37Oh, I can't wait.
03:39Look, Joel, you haven't been to see him once.
03:43Look, if you change your mind, I know he'd really appreciate it.
03:47So would I.
03:49Right.
03:53And don't feel bad.
03:55Right, we need to be ready for work tomorrow.
03:57And they're going to give us a couple of tests, make sure we are ready.
04:00Drug tests, medical tests, things like that.
04:02Yeah.
04:11Do you know what? I, um...
04:13I might sleep in a little bit under the weather. Maybe there's a way we could postpone it.
04:16What, you don't feel ready to go back?
04:18Well, of course I am, but...
04:22At least just show up for the medical, yeah?
04:24And the drug tests, they're quite strict about it.
04:33Is he?
04:35What's with the bags?
04:37I'm leaving.
04:39Today.
04:41You're leaving?
04:42Right, well, when will you be back?
04:44Yeah, and what about Beau?
04:47I'm so sorry, Tony. He deserves so much more than he got.
04:49Hang on a minute, you'll have to wait for R.O.
04:51He's going to be absolutely devastated.
04:53Yeah, I can't.
04:55I'm sorry.
04:57Thank you for everything.
04:59Vicky!
05:02What?
05:04You're not so worried about James, are you?
05:06What about James?
05:08Nothing, love.
05:10I haven't actually told Lia about finding the pills.
05:13I didn't want to worry her. I just...
05:15You know, when you whisper, it only makes me want to listen more.
05:18And you meddled enough in my business after yesterday.
05:24Listen, can you do me a favour?
05:26Can you go and check on James for me tonight, please?
05:29Steve, listen, if you are genuinely that worried about him,
05:32you need to get him professional help.
05:34Sending people round to pressure him when he's asked you to leave him alone
05:37doesn't sound like the best idea to me.
05:39Yeah, that's really good advice.
05:41I know.
05:45Hi, good morning. Can I come in?
05:47I've, er... Well, I've brought you some of these...
05:50Yeah, I've brought you these.
05:52The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.
05:56I did send you a message saying I was working from home.
05:59Yeah, I know. I just... I just wanted to make sure that you'd eaten.
06:03I'll have a coffee if you're making one. Thanks.
06:06Milk and sugar? Mm-hm.
06:15I know what this is.
06:17Steve's sent you round
06:19to do some sort of ridiculous wellness check, hasn't he?
06:24He said that he'd seen you earlier buying loads of bottles.
06:28Have you been drinking in the morning?
06:30No more than usual.
06:33He also said that he'd found you over some pills.
06:37He found me with some very basic, store-bought painkillers.
06:42And he thought, what's better for a man with a headache
06:45than a morning visit from Maxine Miniver?
06:47Wow, rude!
06:49You know what's rude?
06:51It's Steve spreading false rumours that I'm having a breakdown
06:54because he cheated on me. In fact...
06:59James!
07:08You all right, Cleo?
07:10Ah, yeah.
07:12Mum day.
07:13How's the baby doing?
07:17There's still no news.
07:18No news is good news sometimes.
07:20I mean, every day gives them a better chance, right?
07:24You've been in there all night. You look exhausted.
07:27The most important days is when the baby's just been born.
07:32That's when they form their bond.
07:35And I don't want him to miss out
07:37just because he might not make it, you know?
07:41Always knew you'd be an amazing dad.
07:43Cleo, I've been trying to call you.
07:46Are you on your lunch? Can we get some food?
07:49I'm just catching up with Prince.
07:52You're right, I should go and get my head down.
07:54And I still haven't spoken to Dilly.
07:56Go on.
07:57I need to say bye to Theo before I get off.
08:08James?
08:09Oh, what is it? Surprised to see me alive?
08:14Camp entrance. OK.
08:19What were you thinking, sending Maxine round?
08:22I don't need a babysitter.
08:24Well, you made it very clear you didn't want to see me, all right,
08:26and I'm worried about you.
08:27Yet I find you with a load of pills.
08:29James, it's hard enough being a part of him
08:31without worrying that he doesn't want to see you.
08:33Is that what you're talking about, of Leela?
08:35Your father rather indulgently believes
08:37that his dalliance with the local lowlife will be the death of me.
08:42I've got news for you.
08:44I've survived bigger disappointments than you, Stephen.
08:48I've got news for you.
08:50I've survived bigger disappointments than you, Stephen.
09:03Thanks for seeing me, Cleo.
09:07When you left earlier, I was worried
09:09that you were going to make a decision in the heat of the moment.
09:14Cleo, I'm so sorry.
09:18Yeah.
09:20I've, erm...
09:22I've got anger issues.
09:24I always have done.
09:26And I'll do better, all right?
09:28If you give me another chance, I'll do better
09:31and I'll make sure that you'll get the life that you deserve.
09:34You showed me what life with you would be like last night.
09:37What me walking round on eggshells all the time
09:40and just waiting for you to go off like a volcano.
09:43I don't want that, eh?
09:45Yeah. Yeah, I know. I know.
09:49It's because of the way that I grew up, I...
09:52I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
09:54I had a really messed-up childhood as well, you know.
09:57I don't use that as an excuse to hurt people, do I?
09:59Kitty was right.
10:01People like you, you just... you don't deal with your problems.
10:04You just make them everybody else's.
10:06I will... I will deal with mine, OK?
10:09I'll go back to anger management, I will.
10:11Hey!
10:12I was just about to message.
10:14Sally's getting a takeaway in tonight.
10:16I wondered if you guys wanted to join us.
10:18Er, no, not tonight.
10:20I think she just wanted the whole family together.
10:22But no pressure, obviously.
10:23Another time?
10:25Sorry, this is her now.
10:27John Port, wait.
10:28Where are you going? Where are you going?
10:30What are you going to tell him?
10:31Nothing, all right? I'll see you later, OK?
10:34Look, Abe, you said you had a class anyway.
10:36Look, I'll cancel it, OK?
10:38I can fix this.
10:40Yeah, you will, you will.
10:41You just need to work on yourself, OK?
10:43You will, all right?
10:45For you, Cleo, yeah?
10:47And for the baby.
10:49If...
10:51If that's what you still want.
10:53Yeah.
10:55Yeah?
10:56Yeah.
10:57I love you so much.
10:59All right? You won't regret this.
11:01I love you too.
11:04OK.
11:08I need your help.
11:13I need your help.
11:20You all right?
11:24You look nice.
11:27Nice of you to finally visit.
11:30With a chance to see that friendly face, who could say no?
11:33You don't look too great yourself.
11:39You didn't do it, did you?
11:41I'm going to pretend you didn't ask me that.
11:44I'm being set up.
11:46But it ain't going to work.
11:48We're visiting you in prison, Warren.
11:50I'd say it's work to treat so far.
11:52The post-mortem will clear me.
11:54And then I'm going to find out who's behind this
11:56and I'm going to deal with them.
11:58What then? You get banged up for murdering them instead?
12:00It must be really comforting for you as a family.
12:03I'm not going to sit here and be patronised by someone
12:05who looks like they've walked off the set of Trainspotting.
12:08I told you to pack that stuff in.
12:10You might be able to fool Leela, but you don't fool me.
12:12I'm not here to fool anybody, Dad, all right?
12:14I came here to visit you cos Mercedes says that's what you wanted.
12:17If it's not...
12:19I've got a million other things I could be doing.
12:21Fine. I'll drop it.
12:24Get some snacks in while you're up there on your iOS.
12:30Warren.
12:32Look, he's banning off me
12:35being stuck in here away from my kids.
12:37Without panicking that, I'm going to wake up one morning
12:39to find out that my son's overdosed.
12:42Look, I can't keep him away from the smack stuck in here.
12:45That's why I need you to help me do it.
12:47I'm not busy enough looking after your little kid,
12:49so you want me to look after your big one and all?
12:51We're the only ones that know that he's using.
12:54I've already lost one child.
12:56I can't lose another one. It'll kill me.
13:01Please.
13:10Are you seriously going to leave without saying goodbye?
13:13Came to my senses, didn't I?
13:15You in trouble, Kate?
13:17No, more than usual.
13:19It's just cleaner like this.
13:21I don't want anyone else getting into trouble because of me.
13:26If Bo does decide to let you see him again,
13:30would you...
13:32just tell him that I...
13:34He knows.
13:36Well, hey, go on, then, young man.
13:38Help me with these bags.
13:53I don't know what I'm going to do without you.
13:57What if... What if I forget who I am?
14:00And then you're not there to tell them?
14:02Then you'll tell them.
14:04Cos you know exactly who you are, right?
14:08Yeah.
14:09And what's your name?
14:11Fionn.
14:13And you know you better than anyone.
14:18Yeah, thank you.
14:20Trying to have a heartfelt moment over here.
14:23I miss you, kid.
14:30Look at yourself.
14:33Yeah.
14:37Cos every time you hurt me, the less that I cry.
14:42Baby, we don't stand a chance.
14:45It's sad, but it's true.
14:47I'm way too good at goodbye.
14:51Cleo, do you want me to pack some kitchen stuff?
14:53No, Jean-Paul, I just need the essentials.
14:55I need to get out of here before Abe gets back.
14:59Are you sure that all this is just cos of him and Theresa?
15:02Yeah. I just couldn't handle it.
15:05I'm going to do another sweep of the bedroom, OK?
15:12Hmm.
15:14You must be the next sorry float on Ste's intervention parade.
15:18Yeah, no, but nice to see you too.
15:32Is that my cashmere jumper?
15:34It is.
15:35Obviously, I have enough money to get another one,
15:37so I just nicked it indefinitely.
15:39Then Dad said he saw you surrounded by a load of pills.
15:42Oh, for the last time...
15:44You know, I just kept thinking, what if you had gone through with it?
15:47What if I thought the reason you'd done it is cos I'd stolen this?
15:50So just take it.
15:52I can't have that on my conscience.
15:55That's very good of you.
15:57As per usual, your father is overreacting.
16:01If you could perhaps remind him
16:03that my welfare is no longer his concern.
16:06He's not the only one who's concerned.
16:10Oh.
16:14Right.
16:16Leah, I'm fine.
16:20All right, I'm not fine,
16:22but I'm not going anywhere for the foreseeable future.
16:24They were just headache pills.
16:28Take it.
16:32Do you not love my dad any more?
16:36You know, I used to think you were the smartest man I ever met,
16:39but if you're willing to throw away what you do have, then maybe not.
16:51Cleo?
16:53Are you staying forever?
16:55Well, I'm sworn off men, so, yeah.
16:58Probably be here till the end of time.
17:00Great news on both counts.
17:02Well, I'm delighted that you're back living with John Paul and me.
17:05No disrespect to those not present,
17:08but we are the smart queens.
17:11Oh.
17:12And I think it's healthy for the children,
17:14for us all to be living in the house.
17:16It's a bit harsh on the rest.
17:18It's harsh on us.
17:19I've always wanted to go on family fortunes,
17:21but I can't, cos we'd get destroyed.
17:23Bobby's smart.
17:25Murderer, so, obviously.
17:27KNOCK AT DOOR
17:29Takeaway's here.
17:30Right, girls, would you go and wash your hands, please?
17:33John Paul, get the plates sorted while I speak to the man.
17:36Thank you very much.
17:52What's that video?
17:54Nothing.
17:57Everything all right, love?
17:58Yeah, yeah, erm...
18:00I've gone and forgotten something really important back at the flat,
18:04so I'm just going to go pick it up.
18:06Want me to come with you?
18:07No, no, no, it's fine.
18:09Save you some food?
18:11Yeah.
18:17Thanks for agreeing to come and see your dad today.
18:19I know he wouldn't have admitted, but I think it's pretty lonely in there.
18:22Yeah, Dad's been lonely his whole life already.
18:24Is that Warren?
18:26Any update?
18:28I heard he killed his mum.
18:29Well, he didn't. He got framed for it.
18:32And he'd do something like that?
18:34He'll be out in a week, anyway, so...
18:37I'll stick the champagne on this.
18:39Yeah.
18:40Right, Merse,
18:42I didn't just turn up today for my dad, all right?
18:45No.
18:46You said I'd be doing you a favour for Cain,
18:48and the truth is, I need one.
18:50Oh, what have I got wrought in my head?
18:52A favour for foxes? No, thanks. Ask Leela.
18:54Leela can't find out about it.
18:55Right, I start work tomorrow, I'm gonna be drug tested.
18:57Obviously, I'm...
18:59I'm gonna fail.
19:01So, I need you to help me cheat it.
19:08All right.
19:11Is that James's jumper?
19:13Did you nip that when we left?
19:15Of course not! How dare you?
19:17I just saw him earlier. He practically thrusted it upon me.
19:21You saw James?
19:22Mm-hm.
19:25How was he?
19:27Right, Dad,
19:29I genuinely do think
19:31he just had a headache, OK?
19:35Oh.
19:36Mm-hm.
19:37Right.
19:38Yeah.
19:40But it's not my fault, OK? I panicked.
19:42You know what he's like when things don't go his way?
19:44He self-destructs, he...
19:47He needs me to look after him.
19:49No, I think you both just need each other.
19:53He still loves you, you know.
19:55I mean, he told me.
19:57Really?
19:58Yeah, basically.
20:00This isn't the end for you two. I can tell.
20:03I don't know.
20:05Sometimes love isn't enough.
20:07Right, trust me, James will be back here before you know it.
20:10He'll come round, going all,
20:12well, I didn't mean for it to get this far,
20:14and, come on, let's work on it.
20:17Well, I really hope you're right.
20:19KNOCK AT DOOR
20:20I bet you this is him now.
20:22No, cue act three,
20:23you're a free knight, you've run into each other's arms,
20:25it's dead, dead cringey.
20:30Might want to re-check your script, know it all.
20:34Hey.
20:37I'm here on behalf of James.
20:40I told you.
20:43He's asked me to deliver these to you.
20:47It's tea.
20:48They're divorce papers.
20:59You made me believe that we were going to try for a baby,
21:02and then you just leave without a word.
21:05Hey, but where did that video come from?
21:07What video?
21:09Oh, you mean this video.
21:13Turn it off.
21:14Yeah, I put a camera in our bedroom for security purposes.
21:17Turn it off! I told you, did I not?
21:19What, just for the good bit?
21:23You recorded me with him.
21:26You look like you were enjoying it. Were you enjoying it?
21:29I don't know what you think this means.
21:32If you think it's going to keep us together.
21:34Now, if I saw that on the internet,
21:36I would say that you look like you're enjoying it.
21:39Yeah, if I saw that on the internet,
21:41then I would think you were the type of girl that did it all the time.
21:45But it's not on the internet, is it?
21:48Hmm.
21:49Is it?
21:51No.
21:52No!
21:54Do you really think that I would leak a video of you, my girlfriend,
21:58on the internet, like that, for the whole world to see?
22:04Yep.
22:06And that's my word to you, Cleo.
22:14No-one will ever see that video as long as we're together.
22:21Now, go and get your stuff and come back home.
22:24Shh.
22:54SHE SIGHS
23:10Make sure you get some sleep before work tomorrow.
23:13Not like you need it.
23:24MUSIC FADES
