00:00I can't get hold of the chemo drug we'd ideally like to give you.
00:04I'm so sorry.
00:06JJ! Help! Someone call an ambulance!
00:09We have some news about what caused your collapse.
00:13Go on.
00:14I'm really sorry.
00:16You've got to keep me.
00:30I'm really sorry.
00:52I'm really sorry.
01:00I'm really sorry.
01:30I'm really sorry.
01:36That's it.
01:40What was that?
01:42Did you know what you get like?
01:44Oh, stop!
01:48You're still alive, eh?
01:49Yeah, but you won't be.
01:51Well, you know, it's like, cos you get vicious.
01:56Morning!
02:00Oh, can you two go somewhere else and do that?
02:03Yeah, do you know what? I do actually second that.
02:05I thought you had to take Lexie to the dentist today.
02:07Yeah, I had to pick something up first.
02:09You still want to have dinner?
02:10Yeah, of course.
02:11Mum, hang about.
02:12What about the mess? I'm sure you can clear it up.
02:14See you later.
02:15Bye.
02:18Please, can I have another drink?
02:20She's underage.
02:22What are you doing?
02:23Oh, shut up.
02:24Listen, give her a break. JJ's got leukaemia.
02:26Yeah.
02:28Which is why we need to go to the hospital.
02:32I'll come back at lunch and help set up inside.
02:35Could do without hosting a wake today, couldn't we?
02:38Might get some tips.
02:40Hey, how are you feeling today?
02:42Well, she'd be a damn sight better if she could get the drugs that she needs.
02:45I know. It's frustrating, but she will still be offered the chemotherapy.
02:51I need to get ready for work.
02:54I know it's no consolation,
02:57but everyone in that hospital, in every hospital around the country,
03:01is as angry as you are about this shortage.
03:05My kids could be left without me.
03:09No, it's still until Bobby.
03:12I need to explain to him that by the time he gets out of prison,
03:16there's a good chance that I won't be here.
03:18I won't give up.
03:20If there's a way to get those drugs, I'll find it.
03:24I'll find it.
03:37You know, if it comes to it,
03:40would you look after girls for me?
03:43Yeah, I'll love T, but she'll probably leave him on a bus.
03:47No, no, no, they'll have a nice life with you.
03:49A little bit dull, but it'll be...
03:51That's not going to be necessary.
03:54You're not going anywhere.
04:01Next time, you're collecting Lexi's meds, all right?
04:04That contact of yours, proper weirdo.
04:07Just tell Lexi that I'll be home.
04:10You sure you don't want to get in there and make sure Shane had another accident?
04:13Oh, yeah, I bet you'd love that, wouldn't you?
04:15Something else the grass is up about.
04:17Who do you think you are, eh?
04:18Coming in here, shouting the odds in our meeting with the social worker.
04:21Listen, I just want to make sure that my niece is safe, OK?
04:24She clearly ain't living with you.
04:25You know I don't have to let you see her.
04:27Now the toilet's blocked. This boat is a pile of rubbish.
04:29Great.
04:30Dear, that sounds like a health and safety issue.
04:33Good job we've got our meeting with the social worker tomorrow, innit?
04:35And you're not invited.
04:36And if you even think about it, I will use your head as a toilet plunger.
04:39Will you two quit tearing strips off each other, all right?
04:41Lexi doesn't need to hear that.
04:43Listen, bruv,
04:45it is my duty to let the social worker know
04:47about the terrible living conditions Lexi's being dragged up in
04:49and all the reasons that she should be living with me.
04:53Lexi!
05:01I asked for a vodka coke.
05:03Frankie, you can't keep doing this, OK?
05:07Skipping college, all your work.
05:10OK.
05:13I know JJ's illness has come as a shock.
05:15I really don't care. He deserves it.
05:18Frankie...
05:19If you want to go and be with your precious son, just go.
05:22Look, I'm not asking you to forgive him or anything.
05:25Good.
05:26But things are more complicated now.
05:28How?
05:29We're the only family he's got.
05:30So everything he did to me doesn't matter because he's sick?
05:33No, just...
05:35But he's still my son.
05:36And I'm your daughter!
05:37And you promised you'd always have my back.
05:39Look, I'm sorry, OK?
05:40Everything's just happened so fast,
05:42and I just thought that maybe, you know,
05:44if we went to see him together as a unit...
05:46That what? I'd just forget everything?
05:49No.
05:53Frankie...
05:55I know I should have all the answers, but I don't, OK?
06:00I'm just trying to do the right thing.
06:02You understand that, right?
06:05Dad, you can go.
06:07But I'm staying here.
06:08Well, no, you're not, cos for starters, you're underage.
06:10How many times?
06:11Right, well, I've been underage for a lot of things, haven't I?
06:15Look, I can, um...
06:17make sure she gets home safe.
06:19Well, great.
06:21Do you know what?
06:22I'm going to make this really easy for you.
06:24Go and be with JJ.
06:25This is clearly what you want.
06:30I used to love going to the dentist.
06:32I used to love going to the dentist,
06:34especially when I got a day off school.
06:36I liked school.
06:37I drew on a family tree.
06:39Oh, yeah?
06:40You, Dad and Grace.
06:42What about Vicky?
06:44She'll know once we get married, she'll be part of our family as well.
06:47I mean, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
06:49She lets me borrow her make-up.
06:52Listen, I reckon she will let you borrow
06:54all of her lotions and potions if you come to live with us.
06:58I live with Dad.
06:59Yeah, I know, but you don't want to live on a boat forever, do you?
07:01Oh, I'd love to live on a boat.
07:03Well, a yacht.
07:04Top deck, gold bikini, champers.
07:07But instead you're sweating buckets running around the park.
07:09Yeah, right.
07:10Clear my head.
07:11I'm great at running.
07:12Do you want to see?
07:13Lex, Lex.
07:14I thought we was going to sort out Vicky's surprise.
07:16Uncle Robbie's got Vicky a ring.
07:19Lexie!
07:21Can Grace be a bridesmaid, like me?
07:23No, sweetheart.
07:25Grace and your dad, they won't be coming.
07:27Her teacher said that at weddings, families get together.
07:32Why can't ours?
07:34Dex.
07:41Hi.
07:43Did you find Frankie?
07:44Yeah, she was still with Vicky.
07:46I thought it'd be a good idea for her to go out and blow some steam last night,
07:49but I don't know.
07:51How's he doing?
07:52He'll be happy to see you.
07:58Hi.
08:00Hi.
08:03I didn't know if you'd come.
08:06How are you feeling?
08:08Like I've been hit by a truck.
08:11It's good to see you, though.
08:17I'm sorry.
08:19It's all right.
08:20It's all right.
08:22It's all right.
08:24It's all right.
08:25It's all right.
08:27It's all right.
08:34Is Frankie coming?
08:36What do you think?
08:40I'm sorry.
08:43You just need to concentrate on getting better.
08:45Yeah?
08:47Will I be able to come home?
08:50I don't see why not.
08:52I mean home.
08:54Home.
08:56The place.
08:57You know the rules, JJ.
08:59You can't go anywhere near Frankie.
09:04It's just stuffy in here, isn't it?
09:15I hated that.
09:17I barely sleep.
09:19That's why I thought I was so tired.
09:23But now I'm in here and I don't know what's going to happen.
09:27I'm scared, Dad.
09:30You're going to be fine, all right?
09:34Not if I stay in there.
09:37I'm so lonely.
09:39None of my mates speak to me anymore.
09:43I haven't had a hug since Mum died.
09:48I'm sorry, okay?
09:51I need to go speak to the doctor.
09:56I'm sorry.
10:11Hey.
10:12No clothes unless you're here for work.
10:15Wow.
10:16You won't look out of place, though.
10:18What, are you hungover?
10:20I mean, I wish I could blame the drink for looking like this.
10:24Hey, are you okay?
10:25Because you look like you are going to throw up everywhere.
10:28I'm fine.
10:30Are you, though?
10:32Just Darren being an idiot.
10:34Well, what is new there?
10:36Come on, what has he done this time?
10:38It's a long story.
10:40Well, listen.
10:42All you kids think us parents are idiots.
10:45But you'll miss us when we're gone.
10:48You know, all I can think about is both my girls
10:52and what they'd do without me.
10:54I just want to be remembered as the best mum that I can be, you know?
11:02Darren is here.
11:04Yeah?
11:06So go on.
11:07Go home.
11:15How was the dentist?
11:16Uncle Robbie's going to ask Vicky to marry him today.
11:19You're not very good at keeping secrets, are you?
11:22Right, go sit yourself down over there.
11:24Marriage? Wow.
11:25I suppose there's not too much to hope that you concentrate on your own family now instead of mine.
11:29Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that.
11:30Save it for the social worker.
11:32You're not going to win, you know.
11:34Listen, Lexi keeps getting upset.
11:36She keeps having bad dreams about me and you fighting.
11:38Yeah? Whose fault's that?
11:40The point is, she clearly loves us both.
11:43And I love her.
11:46So why don't we draw a line under it?
11:50Hang on.
11:51You said you weren't going to give up until she's back with you.
11:53I was angry, OK?
11:56And she would never have got hurt on my watch.
11:57But...
11:58She liked living with you.
12:00And I need to respect that.
12:02I don't know what to say.
12:04Well, just say you and Grace will meet us for a drink later.
12:07You know, we can show Lexi that we're getting on
12:09and, if any luck, we'll have Santa celebrate and all.
12:13Six o'clock at the dock?
12:15I'll see you there.
12:16Six o'clock at the dock?
12:18I'll see you there.
12:19Drink's on you.
12:25God!
12:26Look, this is useless.
12:27Don't even know where to look for drugs.
12:30Not this kind, anyway.
12:34What's happened to you?
12:35I've stood in dog poo with my right foot.
12:36So why are you waving it around?
12:38Well, cos if you stand in dog poo with your right foot,
12:40it means you're destined for a life of despair.
12:42So is Mercer. Isn't that what you need right now?
12:44No, what I don't need is this rancid green tea.
12:47Oh, sounds like I've arrived just in time.
12:49Oh, what is that smell?
12:51I'm going back to the park, finding the same poo,
12:53and standing in it with my left foot.
12:55No, no, Theresa, you said...
12:56Well, it's good luck if I do.
12:57So, I know you're not supposed to be drinking,
13:00but who doesn't need a glass of fizz after smashing chemo?
13:06What?
13:08It didn't work. The tumour's not shrunk.
13:11Oh, babe.
13:12There's a drug shortage.
13:14They can't get her the one that she needs.
13:16But it's fine.
13:17When have I ever let anyone tell me what I can and can't have?
13:20And glass is you for the proper stuff.
13:27Is your dad still around?
13:28I need to go through your treatment plan.
13:31It'll be in tomorrow.
13:33Check with me about this evening.
13:34You promised.
13:36Be careful when you move not to knock this.
13:39Will I have to have chemotherapy?
13:40We'll discuss it when we're all together.
13:42But I will get better.
13:43We'll take it one day at a time.
13:46I'm only 16.
13:47I should be on my way to play Premier League footy,
13:49not stuck in here.
13:52You should consider yourself lucky you're getting treatment.
13:56Plenty of people don't get a second chance.
14:14Hey!
14:15Like it, girl?
14:17I thought I was on my own.
14:20You know, normal people stay that side of the counter.
14:23Grace told me about your issues getting hold of your new chemo drug.
14:26It's just by looking at it.
14:27Hospital might get it eventually,
14:29but it's not like I've got time on my hands.
14:32We had the same problems with Lexi's epilepsy medication.
14:35So I had to source my own supplier.
14:38Drugs are kosher, though.
14:39Tried, tested.
14:40Do you think they could help me?
14:41There's no guarantees,
14:42but I can see if he's got what you need.
14:44Are you serious?
14:46Grace would do anything to help you.
14:47So would I.
14:48Yes, yes, yes!
14:51You are literally saving my life.
14:53Steady, love.
14:54Don't want the white to walk in.
14:59It's a little bit shocking, isn't it?
15:03You're still well fit, McQueen.
15:06You're still well fit, McQueen.
15:16Listen, thank you for coming over.
15:19Nice to see your pretty little face.
15:21Yes, it's like the old days.
15:23Listen, I haven't booked anything yet,
15:25but I promised you I was going to do that today.
15:27Oh, all right, mate.
15:28Well, just forget about it, as long as you're still there.
15:31Yeah, well, that's the other thing.
15:34I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make the wedding now.
15:36Well, not till I get JJ's treatment planned.
15:40Yeah, I mean, it's not important anyway, so...
15:43Well, kind of is.
15:44I'm the best man.
15:45Kind of a big deal, am I?
15:48Yeah, well, you know what?
15:49Maybe Maxine can be a bigger deal.
15:51That fast? Wow!
15:53Yeah, well, at least she won't embarrass me in her best man speech.
15:56That's true.
15:58Just focus on your family.
16:00Mate, you've done so much to help me when I've been struggling, OK?
16:03So just anything you need, you just say the word.
16:08Hey, you all right?
16:10Yeah, just getting my phone charger.
16:13Yeah, that's all good.
16:14No, I'm going to get off.
16:16Right.
16:19Love you, mate.
16:24Right, let me, um, make you some toast.
16:27It'll settle your stomach, all right?
16:29It's all right.
16:30I'm going to go to bed anyway.
16:35Frankie.
16:41Look, whatever happens, you will always be my priority.
16:45You know that, right?
16:46I know, Dad.
16:48Don't wake me up.
16:49I can't.
16:57I really hope you can get her the drugs that she needs.
17:00I can't bear the thought of her not being here to watch her girls cry.
17:03She'll be all right. She's just like you.
17:05Practically indestructible.
17:07Anyway, drink up. I'll tell him we'll be there at six.
17:09Maybe I should just stay here and help.
17:11It was your idea that we made up.
17:12Because I don't like all the arguing, all right?
17:14I'm starting to wish I'd never sold Robin my flat.
17:16He does sound genuine about backing off.
17:18Oh, yeah, you believe him.
17:20I hope he's had a change of heart
17:21and he's realised kids are expensive
17:23and that she's going to spend all his money on a honeymoon.
17:25That's what I love about you.
17:26You're always seeing the best in people.
17:30I hope Vicky doesn't want me to be a bridesmaid.
17:33Bridesmaid?
17:35Don't tell me your brother's popped the question.
17:37No, he's asking her tonight.
17:40Why, is there something you want to say?
17:43No.
17:44Forget it.
17:45Oh, come on, Big Ben.
17:47Share the joke.
17:52Keeping closed, yeah?
17:53Yeah, I am.
17:54Now, watch your step.
17:55What? Where?
17:56Now, ready?
17:57You sure?
17:58Yeah, one, two...
17:59You're mad, you.
18:00Right, open your eyes.
18:04It's not our anniversary, is it?
18:05No, no, wait a minute.
18:10See?
18:11I went and tried to knock people over for her.
18:13Good things will happen.
18:14She's definitely going to say yes.
18:17Robbie, you're so cheesy.
18:18Everyone's looking.
18:19Of course they are.
18:20You're the fittest bird, innit?
18:21Right, come here.
18:22Stand there, stand there.
18:25Erm, ladies and gents,
18:26can I have your attention for a sec, please?
18:28I would just like to say that I am completely
18:31and utterly in love with this magnificent, beautiful woman.
18:38And that is why I'd like to ask her a question.
18:41Don't know what's keeping Freddie and Grace.
18:44Vicky Grant.
18:49Will you do me the honour?
18:51Robbie, no!
18:54You can't marry her.
18:56She still wants Ethan.
19:02It's not been great.
19:03Hangover of the century.
19:05Seeing you's made me feel better, though.
19:07All right, I can't be long.
19:08I had to pay them something, come on.
19:10Oh, and they just couldn't resist your charms, could they?
19:13What can I say?
19:16So, tell me about the trial.
19:17What's happened to Jojo?
19:22He's, er...
19:25He's got leukaemia.
19:29He looked really pale.
19:32He collapsed and then they just took a tar spot.
19:35What if he dies?
19:37What he did to me is going to be the only thing
19:38that everyone remembers.
19:40It's not on you.
19:41Look...
19:43Lucas, I can't.
19:44I can't do it, not now.
19:45Well, thank you.
19:49I'm going to have to drop the charges.
20:11I'm going to have to drop the charges.
