00:24Stuff it.
00:25What?
00:26You've got no milk.
00:27I'll go to the shop if you want.
00:29Well, you might want to put some kegs on first,
00:31in case Evelyn's working.
00:32You don't want to be giving her an heart attack, do you?
00:33Are you kidding me? I'll be fighting her off.
00:37Morning.
00:38Right, shower, then breakfast. I'm not having you being late.
00:41I'm not going to school today. I don't feel well.
00:45Why? What's wrong with you?
00:46I've got a dick.
00:48Yeah? Funny that.
00:49So, avid from having to repeat myself again and again.
00:51I'm not going in. You can't make me.
00:53Liam, I know school isn't exactly fun for you at the moment,
00:56but you've missed God knows how many lessons already.
00:58I told you, I hate an APE teacher and he hates me.
01:00Oh, don't be daft. Of course he doesn't.
01:02You don't even know him.
01:03Right, fine, should I go in, then, and have a word with him?
01:06No.
01:07Well, you're just going to have to ignore him, then, aren't you?
01:09Your mum's right, mate. You need to go.
01:11Go on, get in the shower.
01:17I really don't like this.
01:18What?
01:19Well, whatever's going on,
01:21it's obviously still really upsetting him, isn't it?
01:23What's to stop him just skiving off again?
01:25What else can we do?
01:29DOOR CREAKS
01:36HE GROANS
01:38How long have I been asleep?
01:41About an hour.
01:42No, why didn't you wake me up?
01:44Well, it's not like you missed much, is it?
01:45You're still out for the count.
01:48Billy and Paul texted. The quads are fine.
01:51Good.
01:53Why don't you go home for a bit? You look shattered.
01:55There's no point. I won't sleep.
01:58Ah, you're both here.
01:59Saved me having to tell you twice.
02:01Tell us what?
02:02We've had the results back from the ELISA test.
02:05And, as Dr Gaddis suspected,
02:07it's confirmed that Joseph has contracted Lyme disease.
02:10Is he going to be all right?
02:11He should be absolutely fine.
02:13The antibiotics we've given him
02:15will hopefully already be working their magic.
02:17But we're going to keep him in a while longer
02:19until his condition improves.
02:22Well, at least we know what it is now.
02:23Yeah, well, we'd have known a lot sooner
02:25if you lot had listened to me.
02:28Like I said, he's getting the treatment he needs.
02:31So, fingers crossed he'll be home again soon.
02:34I'll drop back later and check on him.
02:38Ta.
02:39Cheers.
02:40Right, I'm going to need to call social services.
02:43Try and talk to Caitlin and tell her what's happened.
02:47It's time I got you home and all.
02:51Busy day ahead?
02:52Yeah.
02:53Always my mate, always.
02:54I booked a good one, too, because...
02:57She's coming home, she's coming home,
03:00she's coming, Bernie's coming home.
03:04Ah, yeah, yeah, Billy mentioned it to us.
03:06You must be made up.
03:07I am indeed, mate, I am indeed.
03:10And how about you?
03:11How's things in the, you know, the dead body business?
03:14Er, pretty full on, yeah.
03:16Well, listen, don't get this the wrong way, mate,
03:17but I couldn't do what you did.
03:19Oh, man.
03:20Grieving relatives and sadness.
03:23No, it's too depressing, mate, it's morbid.
03:26It was a bit weird when I first started.
03:28Yeah.
03:29You get used to it.
03:30In a way, we're helping people.
03:32It's way more interesting than some jobs.
03:35I couldn't do what you do, for instance.
03:39How do you mean?
03:40Well, you know, just working in a corner shop all day.
03:44Tried it once, hated it.
03:46Excuse me?
03:48I am a thriving, independent, successful businessman.
03:53I have my fingers in a multitude of, er...
03:55Pies?
03:56Yeah.
03:57I don't just sit in a corner shop all day.
04:00You've, um, got a couple of price stickers on your front.
04:08Er, bacon, butter and a large coffee to go.
04:10Er...
04:18DOOR SLAMS
04:21Hi.
04:23Hi.
04:25What can I get you?
04:26Er, nothing.
04:27We just thought we'd come down and see how you're doing.
04:29Yeah, also, we wondered if you wanted to maybe do something,
04:34hang out later with us and Gav?
04:36I mean, we were thinking of getting a bite to eat at the bistro, so...
04:38Yeah, if he ever drags his lazy backside out of bed.
04:41HE SCOFFS
04:42I don't know.
04:44Can I get that to you about it?
04:45Yeah, yeah, sure.
04:48And just so you know, I split up with my bloke I was seeing.
04:52What, you doubled him? Yeah.
04:54Well, I got to see him anyway cos of his work,
04:56so I just thought, what's the point?
04:57Well, it's his loss.
04:58Yeah. Well, we're gonna be in the bistro.
05:01One o'clock, if you do change your mind.
05:04Maybe.
05:07Right.
05:15You got any good lessons today?
05:17Not really.
05:20OK, well, why don't we get a takeaway tonight?
05:22Whatever you want.
05:24Give you a break from my cooking for a bit.
05:26Yeah, all right.
05:28Your boss is here. Go on, then.
05:30Not until I've seen you get on it.
05:32You are joking.
05:33I'm not arguing with you, Lia. Go on.
05:48Oh! Wait, you forgot your...
05:53You OK with that, yeah?
05:54Don't spill it or someone will kill us.
05:56Bye-bye.
05:57Good lad.
06:03They behaving themselves?
06:04Oh, yeah. Just watching cartoons.
06:06I'm a lord for telly, eh?
06:08Here, you looking forward to seeing your mum later?
06:10Yeah, defo.
06:12Oh, and, erm, check out my new book.
06:16Oh, and, erm, Gemma called.
06:19They said Joseph's got Lyme disease.
06:21He's going to be OK? Yeah.
06:22Yeah, they've given him a load of antibiotics
06:24and they're keeping him in for a few days, to be sure,
06:26but he's fine, which is all that matters.
06:29That's a relief.
06:31Gemma seemed pretty down, though.
06:33Can't blame her.
06:34I mean, her own husband didn't believe her
06:36when she knew something weren't right.
06:38Not being able to see the kids
06:39without someone breathing down her neck.
06:40Yeah, but hopefully she'll be with him soon enough.
06:43It means we get our couch back.
06:45Yeah, guess so.
06:48Yeah, do you know what I was thinking?
06:50Why don't we get a few people together down at the pub?
06:53We'll throw your mum a little welcome-home party.
06:57Hmm.
06:58Yeah, she was always partial to a knees-up.
07:00Hmm. Hmm.
07:01All right, I'll, erm, drop Dev a text.
07:03Let him know what's going on. Yeah.
07:11Liam!
07:13Hey. I don't believe this. What are you doing here?
07:15Trying to humiliate me in front of the whole school?
07:17No, I've only come because you left this at the bus stop.
07:21I'm sorry, I didn't quite get that.
07:23Thanks.
07:24Why's Dylan ignoring you?
07:26What?
07:27Well, just then and earlier on the bus, he totally blanked you.
07:30I thought you said that you'd sorted everything out.
07:32Yeah, well, maybe he's avoiding me cos you're his.
07:34Look, can you just go? I'm not going to bunk off again.
07:37I can't leave school without a pass, so I ain't going anywhere.
07:38OK, OK, I'm going.
07:40Just listen, I know that you probably think I'm the worst
07:43woman in the world right now, but I'm just trying to look out for you.
07:47OK?
07:49Try and have a good day. I'll see you later.
08:11I'm starving.
08:12I'm going to get something to eat from the canteen.
08:14Do you want help?
08:15No, I'll just wait till later.
08:19I think he's waking up. Joseph.
08:22Hey.
08:24Hey, Joseph, you had us worried there.
08:26How are you feeling?
08:28I still feel really tired.
08:31Have the doctors said what's wrong with me yet?
08:33Yeah. You've got something called Lyme disease.
08:38But you don't need to worry, because the doctors are going to give you
08:40some medicine and they're going to make you all better.
08:42Can I go home yet?
08:44Not just yet, pal.
08:46Doctors want to keep you in for a bit longer,
08:48just to make sure you're OK.
08:50Hey, but guess what?
08:51We're hoping once social services find out
08:52Gemma was right about you not being very well,
08:55they're going to let her come home, so that's awesome, innit?
08:59Yeah, so you'll have two of us to nag you again.
09:01And Nana Bernie, cos she gets out today
09:03and I know she'll be dying to see you.
09:06Hey, why don't I go home and I'll get you some games in that?
09:09Stop you getting too bored while you're in here, yeah?
09:13I'll be back as soon as I can.
09:15Love you.
09:30So has he spoken to his dad much?
09:31Leon said Peter called a couple of days ago,
09:33but he's been kind of intimate.
09:35Why, because he's at sea?
09:36Well, partly, I suppose,
09:37but partly cos he's always been a bit flippin' useless, hasn't he?
09:40Typical bloke.
09:42So he must be missing him, then?
09:43Yeah, although he has been going out with his mates quite a lot.
09:46I mean, mostly down the port, but, you know,
09:48at least he's not sad at home, feeling sorry for himself.
09:54Hi.
09:55Hey.
09:56How did it go off the school, OK?
09:57Yeah, yeah, it was fine.
09:58However, he did take a while to go to sleep last night
10:01because he kept going on about the fact
10:02that he thrashed you at bowl.
10:04He had an unfair advantage.
10:05He had those big guard things up at the side.
10:07Oh, yeah, whatever.
10:08You just don't like losing, you never did.
10:09Don't know many people who do.
10:12Listen, I'd better get back to work.
10:14I'll see you. See you.
10:16Listen, I meant to say sorry about the mix-up yesterday,
10:19taking Harry out to eat when you made plans.
10:21I should have checked.
10:23I had feelings.
10:25It's fine.
10:26Forget about it.
10:35Hey, come here.
10:36Can I see something? Come on, then.
10:38Get out.
10:44How sad is that?
10:47Imagine your mum turning up at your school.
10:49Mate, that was tragic, to be fair.
10:51She was at the bus stop with him as well this morning.
10:53Yeah, he's a loser.
10:54I always feel sorry for the kid, eh?
10:56Well, I don't feel sorry for him.
10:59He's a good kid.
11:00He's a good kid.
11:01He's a good kid.
11:02He's a good kid.
11:03He's a little grass, mate, and he's going to pay for it.
11:26Eh?
11:27Mate chucked you out already?
11:29I just came back to get a few more clothes.
11:32Bit early for you, innit?
11:33Don't worry, I haven't got a drinking problem.
11:35No, I was just...
11:36Bernie's been released, so I thought it'd be nice
11:38to just organise a little welcome home party for her.
11:41Aw, that is so thoughtful of you.
11:43Well, what time are we meeting her?
11:44Ah, well, I was going to call you, actually,
11:47ask a little favour, but now that you're here...
11:50Go on.
11:51Well, Gemma and Tess need to go to the hospital with Joseph.
11:53The good news is he's going to be fine.
11:55But, um, you know that we've been looking after the quads.
11:59Ah, you want me to babysit them while you go to the pub?
12:03Yeah, I will pay you.
12:05How much?
12:06Er, 20 quid.
12:08Sorry, I can't really do any lower than 30.
12:11Really?
12:12Don't be daft.
12:13You don't have to pay me, but you do owe me big time.
12:18PHONE RINGS
12:20Hello?
12:22Yeah, I've got him.
12:25Where?
12:27OK, I'll be there.
12:34Can't really blame him for being annoyed, can we?
12:37And you turning up at school would have helped.
12:39I told you I only went in to give him his phone.
12:41Yeah, I know, but it's not exactly a good look, is it?
12:43Your mum just rocking up at school.
12:45No, it's more than that.
12:46There's something else.
12:49And him and Dylan have fallen out again.
12:50What, have they had another rap?
12:52I don't know, but I saw him on the bus this morning
12:54and then I seen him walk past him at school
12:56and he'd blanked him both times.
12:58Right, well, if they have fallen out, then Dylan can do one.
13:01Liam's got other mates.
13:02Has he?
13:04Cos he haven't mentioned anything about them to me.
13:11Hey.
13:12Where are you off to?
13:13Oh, no, no, let me guess.
13:16You're going to the library to finish that essay that I set for you.
13:20You know, the one that's due tomorrow.
13:22No, not exactly.
13:24But I'm working on it.
13:26Honest.
13:28I'm nearly done.
13:30Only a few of my mates asked if I fancy going out
13:32and I thought it'd be rude to say no, so...
13:34HE SIGHS
13:36You're angry at me.
13:37Would it matter if I was?
13:41No, not really.
13:42Oh, that's what I thought.
13:45I promise that essay will be done soon.
13:47Yeah, yeah, I'm sure it will.
13:50Hey.
13:52Is everything else OK, though?
13:55No, not really.
13:56But I don't want to bore you with it.
14:04I'm here, OK?
14:05Boring or not?
14:07Yeah, I guess.
14:08Yeah? See you.
14:14See you.
14:16Despite what you lot thought, it wasn't all in my head
14:18and I wasn't trying to fool everyone by making him sick.
14:21He really was sick, but no-one listened to me.
14:24Gemma, I can understand your frustration.
14:27Frustration?!
14:28No, this is a lot more than that.
14:31Have you got any idea what it's like not to be allowed to see your kids?
14:35To not be allowed to be alone with them
14:37because people think that you're actually going to hurt them.
14:40Hurt them in a way that they don't want to be hurt.
14:43You're not going to hurt them.
14:45Hurt the people that you care about most in the world,
14:47more than you care about yourself.
14:49I'm sorry you had to go through that.
14:51Well, so am I, but it doesn't change anything, does it?
14:54I can never get that time back with them.
14:56We had to follow the guidelines, we had to be sure.
14:59But there is still the issue with the lavender oil you gave him.
15:03Yeah, cos I made a mistake.
15:07I'm not trying to have a go like you are.
15:09I just want Joseph to be well
15:11and I want to know when I can come back and be with all my kids
15:13without someone looking over my shoulder.
15:15Can you at least tell me that?
15:18Where are they?
15:19They should have been here by now.
15:21Have they got stuck in traffic?
15:22Or have my mam's knotted her screw and got another six months?
15:25I couldn't last five minutes in prison, mate.
15:27Why's that? Cos there's no fellas?
15:29Cheeky beggar!
15:30I've not been with that many blokes.
15:33Not recently, anyway, more's the pity.
15:35Hey, you don't think devs wish Bernie back for a bit of afternoon delight?
15:38Cos they haven't seen each other for so long.
15:41Do you mind? Yeah, that's that dad you're talking about.
15:43Yeah, me, ma'am. Just thinking all that.
15:45Oh, there he is.
15:47Come on, honey.
15:48Listen, I just want to go home and I want to have a proper shower, right?
15:52Then I want to go and see Paul and Gemma and the kids.
15:54Please don't.
15:56One drink and we can do this.
15:58One drink.
15:59CHEERING
16:04I knew you were up to something, you devious so-and-so.
16:08Come on, ma'am, come here.
16:10Thanks, sweetheart.
16:12And the rest of you.
16:15How've you been?
16:16Not too bad.
16:17Better than how you were, though.
16:19How have you been?
16:20Oh, you know, all right. Now I'm not in that place.
16:23Do yourself a favour, sweetheart, don't ever get banged up.
16:25Nah, I wasn't planning on it.
16:27And I'm guessing you must be Moses.
16:30Pleased to meet you. I hope you don't mind me tagging along.
16:33I was actually supposed to be doing some shopping for Paul,
16:35but he insisted I stay.
16:37No, it's nice to put a face to the name.
16:40Thank you for looking after me, lad.
16:41My pleasure.
16:43Billy, can I have a quick word?
16:44Yeah, of course.
16:46Oh, hey.
16:48Hey, man.
16:51Hmm. What was that for?
16:54I just want to say thank you.
16:56Cos I know how much your job or vocation
16:58or whatever you want to call it meant to you.
17:01But you still gave it up to look after our Paul.
17:04It does mean a lot, but not as much as he does.
17:08How's he been, really?
17:09Erm, no honesty.
17:11He's, erm... He's not been easy.
17:14You know, all in all, he's doing OK.
17:17I will tell you one thing, he's a braver man than I will ever be.
17:22Right. Enough of this soppy cobbler's.
17:27So, where's your sister and the rugrats?
17:30Are they going to join us later?
17:32Erm, no, I need to talk to you about that.
17:39SHE SNIFFS
17:43Oh, talk about state-of-the-art. Look at this.
17:46Did you win this at a ralph race?
17:48What are you doing? Just give it back, will you?
17:51Or what? Or nothing. Just give it back.
17:54Nah. Actually, yeah, go on.
17:56No!
17:58You're going to have to try much harder than that.
18:00Please? No.
18:02Not even close. Tell you what, though,
18:04I will give you back if you...
18:07..get on your knees and beg.
18:09No way. OK, fine.
18:11It's going in the bog and I'm going to wazz all over it.
18:13Why are you doing this? Cos it's a laugh.
18:15It'll be your last chance. On your knees and beg.
18:24What, is that it? Just give it back, will you?
18:27I know.
18:29SIGHS
18:35Afternoon all. Oh, Sunday best.
18:39Are you having a laugh?
18:40Cos if you think I'm taking tutorial lessons
18:43from a scruffy little nomad like you, you're wrong.
18:45I know she just insulted me, but I'm not sure how.
18:48Yeah, it's Daniel Osborne, innit?
18:50He's rubbing off on her. I'm sorry?
18:53Oh, they're, er, they're doing English lessons.
18:55Oh, right.
18:57Give me your drinks. Can I get you both something?
18:59I'll have a whisky and coke, please, waitress.
19:01OK, have you got any ID?
19:09Thanks. What about you?
19:11Just a Coke, ta. OK, coming up.
19:13You are such a loser sometimes.
19:16Damn.
19:17Right, so I was thinking, after we've finished here,
19:20I was going to head into town for a bit, see what's happening.
19:23Anyone want to join me, or can't? I'm skint.
19:27Mm-hm, same.
19:28Worrying.
19:30Oh, I'll just have to go on my own, then.
19:34Erm, well, what are you doing?
19:38Having some fun. What's it look like?
19:53Hey. As promised, got you some stuff from home,
19:55stopped you going out of your mind lying there all day.
19:58Ta.
20:01Is he all right?
20:02I don't know. It's hardly spoken to me since you left.
20:05Do you want me to speak to Caitlin?
20:07Yeah, tell her I can come home.
20:09That's brilliant.
20:11Gee, that Joseph, that's great, innit?
20:13Not really.
20:14Why do you say that?
20:16Cos if Gemma's coming back to the house,
20:18then that means I have to live there as well, don't it?
20:21What do you mean?
20:22I don't want to live there any more.
20:24At least not with him.
20:26I want to stay at the flat with you.
20:29Why?
20:30Because I told you so many times that I wasn't well,
20:32and you didn't believe me,
20:34and that's the reason that I'm lying here now.
20:36Gemma was the only one that did believe me,
20:38so I want to live with her and not with you.
20:41HE SIGHS
20:48Running off again, are you, you little grass?
21:00Are you Adam? Hi.
21:05Thought so. Harvey said you looked like a slimy plait.
21:08Nice to meet you too, mate. You're late.
21:09So what, come on. You got the money?
21:16What, is there a problem?
21:18This is just a scheme, I'm off, OK? Nothing more. Understand?
21:20Don't worry. We'll be very gentle.
21:28Right, then. I'll tell Harvey it's on.
21:31Nice doing business with you.
21:37HE SIGHS
21:40HE SIGHS
21:45HE SIGHS
21:49Why are you picking on me? What have I ever done to you?
21:53Why are you picking on me? What have I ever done to you?
21:56What, are you five? Huh?
21:57Is that why your mum brings you to school?
21:59Just get off me. No, cos you're a weezy little snitch
22:01and you know what snitches get.
22:03Don't you? Huh?
22:06PHONE RINGS
22:09MUSIC PLAYS
22:24Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's going on?
22:25It's Idiot. He set the fire alarm off.
22:27Can you all just fire up quietly, please?
22:30I hope so. Come on. You know the drill.
22:32Yeah, and Miss, now he's running away from the scene of the crime.
22:35MUSIC CONTINUES
22:45Adam.
22:48You all right? Yeah, yeah, I'm OK. I've just been at a meeting.
22:52No, you've had another panic attack, haven't you?
22:54You've gone white as a sheet.
22:55Look, I don't think you're in a fit state to work.
22:57Why don't you come back to mine and I'll get you a glass of water?
23:00Sarah, you don't have to worry about me any more, OK?
23:02I know we're not together, but I still feel like you.
23:05And I still care about you.
23:07I'm fine. I need to be somewhere.
23:14Look, I've let you down. I know that.
23:16But can't I put this behind us, go back to being a proper family?
23:20You don't get it. I don't want anything to do with you.
23:24Hey, I'm your dad.
23:25Rubbish, Dad. You don't believe me when I say I'm ill.
23:28Look, it's a hard thing to diagnose. Even the doctors said that.
23:32But now we know what it is,
23:34we need to put our energy into getting you better.
23:36She was forced to leave. I want you to leave.
23:39I don't want to live with you.
23:40Maybe you should give him some space.
23:44Go on, I'll talk to him.
23:52Hey, Joseph, there's no need to get upset.
23:53No-one's gonna make you do anything.
23:57Cheers, guys.
23:59I'm just trying to get an update from Gemma.
24:02I can't believe Linda wanted to get in touch
24:04with the custody solicitor. The cheek!
24:06Annie, you haven't touched your fizz.
24:09I don't want to sound ungrateful, Dev.
24:11You're a better reason to crack open the bubbly.
24:14Yeah, but after six weeks, we're now decent to drink.
24:18At least you had anything to drink.
24:20Oh, we had pruno.
24:21No.
24:22Well, it's a sort of hooch.
24:24It's made from fermented apples and oranges
24:27mixed with boiled sweets,
24:28and Maggie, who made it, put a bit of ketchup in it,
24:31gave it a spicy note.
24:33Really?
24:34Course not. It tasted of bile.
24:36But it was 9%. It was stronger than special brew.
24:39It definitely took the edge off.
24:41So, now, if you don't mind,
24:43I would prefer something a little bit stronger.
24:46Something that don't give me botulism.
24:48Can I have a brandy, please?
24:49Yeah, of course.
24:50Yeah, in that case, can I have a pint, please?
24:52All right. Thank you.
24:54And I'll have this on me own, then.
24:56Mm.
24:58Oh, this is Gemma.
25:01Right, Joseph is doing well,
25:03but needs to stay in a little bit longer.
25:07Right, I'll need to go and see the littlings in a bit.
25:11Wait till I see Chesney and Linda.
25:13The idea that people thought she was a bad parent is outrageous.
25:16Yeah, but, honey, she's been vindicated, and you're free.
25:20Yeah, yeah, I'm with Dev.
25:22Everything is on the up.
25:24Oh, cheers to that.
25:26It's great to have you back.
25:27Yeah, and it's great to be back with all of you,
25:30especially you, Apollo, back with the people I love.
25:33Paul has really missed you.
25:35He talks about you all the time.
25:37It's tough not having you around.
25:38Yeah, but you're happy now, aren't you?
25:41I mean, your mum's home, we're having a do.
25:43Yeah.
25:45Not as happy as her, though.
25:46I don't think we've met.
25:48What's it like to be the most gorgeous person in the room?
25:52I'm Moses, I'm Paul's carer.
25:54Looks like you've got a bit of competition there, Dad.
25:58Yeah, Mum, this whole thing was Billy's idea.
26:00He said we should do something special.
26:02Really?
26:04Yeah.
26:05Well, I never imagined you'd do something like this for me.
26:08But I'm chuffed all the same.
26:10Just a bit surprised.
26:12No, it's a special day.
26:13Thought we needed something to keep everybody's spirits up
26:17after such a tough few months.
26:23Jesus.
26:24Do you need a hand?
26:25I've got it.
26:29KNOCK ON DOOR
26:32And other lemonade, Matt?
26:34Look, are you mad?
26:36Right, you've had your fun.
26:37If Toya sees us, she's going to kick us out.
26:39I'm not paying their prices.
26:42Do you know what? We're underage.
26:44Nick's going to lose his licence.
26:46I'm not going to get caught.
26:48I'm stealthy, me.
26:50I'm like a ninja.
26:51That's your mum.
26:52It's three o'clock.
26:54You're a killjoy.
26:57Are you sure you're OK?
26:59Are you upset about your ex?
27:01Upset?
27:03I hate his guts.
27:06Made bleeding piles, torment him,
27:09and conned and fessed his feet.
27:14I once read that on a police cell wall once.
27:19Anyway, he's ancient history.
27:22We should probably head out.
27:25I reckon we call it a day.
27:27Mm-mm.
27:28We have only just started.
27:34Ta.
27:37I should be cracking open the fizz.
27:40Open in the doghouse.
27:41Gemma hates me, Joseph hates me.
27:43Oh, in time, he'll see you were trying to protect him.
27:46He'll come round.
27:47I don't think he will.
27:49He's so angry, and he's right to be.
27:52I should have listened to him and Gemma.
27:54Well, neither of us have covered ourselves in glory.
28:00That kid is suffering.
28:02It's your worst nightmare.
28:04I'm a rubbish dad.
28:06You're a great dad,
28:07especially given all you've got to put up with.
28:11Hey, welcome home.
28:13Hiya.
28:15All right?
28:17Right, quick question.
28:19Now our Gemma's been given the all clear,
28:21is she allowed to see the kids again
28:23without you concocting a load of nonsense behind her back?
28:26Of course. Are you sure?
28:28Or do you need to speak to your solicitor first?
28:30No, that was just a way of finding out the legal situation.
28:33Forgetting custody.
28:35It was all a big misunderstanding.
28:37It was a big hatchet job.
28:39That wasn't the intention.
28:40Right, I know what you tried to do to her.
28:42And if you ever pull a stunt like that again,
28:44you'll have me to answer to.
28:45Do I make myself clear?
28:47Yeah.
28:49And you've every right to feel like this.
28:52I put her through it and I should have trusted her.
28:54But this is a fresh start for us all to pull together.
28:58Not quite.
29:00See, the worst thing about being banged up
29:03was missing my grandkids' faces,
29:04so I'm going to move back in again.
29:07I can look after Gemma and the kids.
29:10And your services,
29:12they're no longer required.
29:15If that's what you want.
29:19I'll check into a hotel tonight.
29:21Yeah, yeah, I think that's for the best.
29:25Righty-o, I'm going to go and glance up from somewhere.
29:28No, no, no, no.
29:29I'm going to go and see the Fab Four.
29:31You need to focus on trying to save your marriage.
29:39Mmm.
29:41PHONE RINGS
29:45Hello?
29:47Yeah, speak in.
29:49OK. School.
29:50What's happened? I don't know.
29:54Everything OK?
29:57Oh, yeah, it's just Liam.
29:58You know, a bit worried about him.
30:01Year ten? Mm.
30:03Year ten, lads. That was the worst part of my old job.
30:07Have you spoken to the school?
30:09Well, he won't go to school, that's the problem.
30:11He's been pretending to go.
30:12So now we have to escort him to the bus stop,
30:14which we started today.
30:16I think someone's giving him grief.
30:18You know, he used to like school.
30:20The teachers do their best, but most of it happens online now,
30:23so it's a lot harder to control.
30:26Someone set this fire alarm off deliberately at school
30:28and they've seen Liam running away, so he's in big trouble.
30:31Well, there you go, there is something going on, then.
30:34I know when I got in bother at his age, I scarpered.
30:36Something else every day at that school.
30:38Hey, just talk to him.
30:40And Mrs Croshaw, she's really good.
30:43If you don't, things can get out of hand pretty quickly.
30:47Trust me.
30:51Well, not an Ibiza.
30:52Oh, shame, cos I love clubbing, mate.
30:55Who's watching?
30:56Come on, I want to come dance with me.
30:59Lauren, you need to stop.
31:04Part of the reason I came out was because she's single,
31:06but I wouldn't make a move when she's in this state.
31:09Yeah, but there's more to this than meets the eye, all right?
31:11She's not usually like this.
31:13Here's to being single and seeing double!
31:17Ha!
31:18I think you're drunk.
31:20Well, this is a bar.
31:22Yeah, you only bought soft drinks, you must have a secret stash.
31:25OK, that's it, party's over.
31:27I want a word with you.
31:39Hiya.
31:40Liam, don't be going straight to your room,
31:42we need to talk to you.
31:44Come here, come and sit down.
31:48How was school?
31:49Fine.
31:50Yeah?
31:52Cos Mrs Crow showed us rank.
31:54They know that it was you who set the alarm off.
31:56Can they prove it?
31:58There's 800 kids...
31:59You were seen running away.
32:01Look, I was just messing about with some mates.
32:05I accidentally knocked it, so I panicked and I ran.
32:08And who were the other lads?
32:13Are you holding something back?
32:15Were they picking on you?
32:21I knew it.
32:24Who are they?
32:25They're just some idiots, leave it.
32:28Darling, I know this is really hard for you...
32:32..but you've got to tell me who they are.
32:42MUSIC PLAYS
32:54I want to know everything now.
32:56Right from the very first time that it happened,
32:58I want to know every single little thing that they've ever done to you.
33:02Hey...
33:04..they're going to wish they never went near you, OK?
33:07The hardest bit was telling me, isn't it?
33:10No, you don't need to lie, you don't need to make excuses.
33:13It all stops today.
33:16Do we know these lads?
33:19Were Mason or Dylan involved?
33:21Who, then?
33:26First thing tomorrow morning, I'm going to be right on the phone to Mrs Croshaw.
33:29No. Liam, it's a school matter.
33:33And it'll be a police matter if they don't put a stop to it.
33:36Look, I just don't want you to get involved.
33:37You're only going to make things worse, like you did today.
33:40Like when you came to the bus stop and when you came in.
33:43Who are they, mate?
33:44I'm not going to tell you.
33:45You're blowing this way out of proportion.
33:48Liam.
33:49Hey. Gary, just leave him.
33:54Hey.
33:56Cheers.
33:57Well, that went well. Yeah, well, she deserves a fuss made of her
34:01after being away.
34:04It's weird, though.
34:06I could see you having a party if she were kept in longer.
34:09That's mean.
34:13I think you've been pulling out all the stops,
34:17trying to make everything good into a happy memory,
34:20cram them all in while I'm still here.
34:26Is it that obvious?
34:28Mm.
34:30Well, would you blame me if I did?
34:36I just want to make the most of every minute.
34:39I know that any day you could turn around
34:42and tell me you wanted to be your last.
34:48I don't know what to say.
34:51Don't worry.
34:53I haven't changed my mind.
34:56Good.
34:57Thanks.
34:59I hate seeing the means you want to use to do it every day, but...
35:06..otherwise, I cherish every day we have.
35:14Come on, then.
35:15Come on, we're going to see Uncle Paul.
35:17Hey!
35:19Hiya!
35:20Woo-hoo!
35:22You have a nice walk?
35:23Yeah.
35:25Yeah, I'm exhausted.
35:26They've run me ragged, but it is so lovely to see them.
35:30Yeah, I need a lie down.
35:32I don't know how Gem and Chas do this every day.
35:35All right, look, I'll make you a brew.
35:38Right, make room for Nana Bernie.
35:42Shift your bum.
35:47Thanks, Gemma.
35:50Hey, the doctors reckon after all this palaver,
35:54you'll be on the men before you know it.
35:56Good, cos I'm sick of winding up here all the time.
35:59I'm sick of people not believing me, especially my dad.
36:03I'd get my step-parents any time.
36:06He does love you, you know.
36:08He cares about you. You just made a mistake.
36:14Well, I can't wait for us all to get back to being a proper family again,
36:17all under one roof.
36:18The worst thing about all of this was not being able to see you
36:21and the little ones whenever I wanted.
36:23I don't think I can just forget it and go back to normal.
36:26I grew up without a dad, you know, and it was horrible.
36:29I don't want that for you.
36:31I want you to have your mum and dad with you every day.
36:34And I know it's not easy.
36:37I'm upset, too.
36:39But your dad loves us.
36:42Adults make mistakes, but families stick together.
36:48Right, Toya has promised not to tell Nick if we leave now.
36:53She went into town.
36:54I've already told you, I'm skinned.
36:56Like Max said, I'm off home.
36:58Eh.
36:59Well, it looks like it's just you and me, then, kiddo. Come on.
37:03Listen, this new bar, I really want to try, you know,
37:05cos I've been dying to go for ages, so...
37:09You still thinking about your ex?
37:11Who?
37:12Oh, I'm thinking about you.
37:15I'd love to go out with you at some point, maybe cinema.
37:18Oh, have you been greyhound racing?
37:20I love it.
37:21But I don't think this is the real you.
37:25HE MUMBLES
37:27Mm.
37:31You're boring anyway.
37:32HE WHIMPERS
37:49PHONE VIBRATES
37:51How do? How's your hanging?
37:54I did it.
37:55I met your friend and gave him the money.
37:57Yeah? Lovely lad, Neil, innit?
38:00Charming.
38:01If anybody finds out what I just did,
38:03I'll be barred from practising for good.
38:05Listen, you knew what you were getting into.
38:08I'm not messing about.
38:10I need Damon to leave town very soon.
38:12Well, like I said, you get my appeal sorted
38:15and I'll get Damon dealt with, right?
38:18Call me back when you've got some news.
38:25PHONE CLICKS
38:31You all right?
38:33Message for you on my PS4.
38:35Who is it?
38:36Mason Radcliffe.
38:38Keep your voice down.
38:40I haven't told Mum and Gary he's the one picking on me yet.
38:42Don't you think you should?
38:44Mason's a psycho.
38:45If I dob him in, I'm dead.
38:47Do you want me to talk to them about him?
38:49No.
38:52I said I had to give you this message.
38:54If you want your phone back,
38:55meet me outside the science bucket when I've got tomorrow.
38:57Think I'm that stupid?
38:59You'll get your phone back. No, I won't.
39:00It'll beat me up and humiliate me again.
39:03Or try and make me sell stolen Veeps.
39:05It's obviously a trap.
39:07They stole it off me.
39:08You can't let them do this to you.
39:10The only way I can deal with this is stay out of the way
39:12and hope they get bored.
39:13They do it for fun.
39:16Don't reply to that message, OK?
39:18Ignore anything else this end.
39:19We were all hanging out and you just split like a banana.
39:25Look, we've all been really rude about you, all right?
39:30What, did you get drunk because of your ex?
39:31I'll have to deal with him.
39:33Anyway, I'm done with him now. For good.
39:38Look, I can see through this act.
39:39I was just trying to have a laugh with my mates.
39:43I'm not going to let you get away with this.
39:45I'm not going to let you get away with this.
39:47I'm not going to let you get away with this.
39:50Look, he thinks that I don't have anyone apart from him in my life, but...
39:56He's wrong.
40:00Anyway, I don't want to talk about him, I just...
40:05Why can't you just tell us who it is?
40:09Is it...
40:11Is it Daniel?
40:13Daniel?!
40:14Well, obviously it's not him. What, they all gave you that idea?
40:17No, I know. It's mad. I just...
40:19I saw you talking to him, and...
40:24No.
40:27My ex is just the latest in a long line of scumbags
40:30I've found myself attracted to.
40:32But you will find someone who's nice and kind,
40:36who really cares about you.
40:38You reckon?
40:41But I don't think that's what you need right now.
40:43Me, trying to make that happen.
40:45You're lovely, gorgeous, but you're going through a lot.
40:49And I can be your mate, because that's what you need.
41:03He's asleep.
41:05But also, he doesn't want to see you just yet.
41:08I tried, but he's still really upset.
41:10He says he wants to live with just me.
41:12I told him about you, but he won't listen.
41:14He wants to live with just me. I told him he's not an option.
41:17He knows what I want.
41:19What do you want?
41:21I want what I've always wanted.
41:23To be with my kids.
41:25All of my kids, under one roof.
41:27Joseph included.
41:29He'll come to see that's for the best.
41:32I hope so.
41:34Then we can put all this behind us.
41:38Thanks, Gemma.
41:40I know how upset you are. It can't be easy to take me back.
41:43Who said anything about taking you back?
41:45I'm doing this for the kids' benefit.
41:47One of us is going to be sleeping on the sofa.
41:52Fair enough.
41:53I should work something out long term.
41:55It might be too hard to bear.
41:59Do you not love me any more?
42:01I do love you.
42:03But you've hurt me so badly, I don't know if we can get back to how we were.
42:07I'm going to do everything I can to make it up to you.
42:14Liam, can we have a word?
42:22You ready to name names yet?
42:24Look, it's no big deal. I can handle it.
42:26I've just been looking at your school policy.
42:28I thought that was a good place to start.
42:30Also, I'm going to be speaking to Mrs Crawshaw in your head of year.
42:34I'm going to make sure that the Governor's put a stop to it.
42:37PHONE RINGS
42:38Ooh.
42:39This is a friend from the Governing Body.
42:42I need to get this. One sec.
42:46Hello?
42:49Right, personally, I doubt that these idiots give a damn
42:51about what it says in an anti-bullying policy, you know?
42:54Cos when I was at school,
42:55violence was the only language that bullies understood.
42:58Did you get bullied at school?
43:00I didn't, no. I was lucky.
43:02Cos they knew you'd fight back?
43:04No.
43:06But you said violence is the only language they understand.
43:10Violence is never the answer, OK?
43:12You're just going to have to let me and your mum
43:14deal with this in the... proper way.
43:18I will.
43:27Forget what I said earlier. Message Mason.
43:29Tell him I'll meet him tomorrow.
