00:01Look what's happened.
00:03I've got brain tumour.
00:04I have booked us a holiday to Egypt.
00:06I can't believe tomorrow.
00:07I'm gonna make all your dreams come true.
00:09I'm sorry.
00:10I'm not the only one that needs to hear it though, am I?
00:12You bullied my son for months.
00:14Are you safe right now?
00:16I don't know.
00:17I was hoping to find my son in here, Ro.
00:20Why don't you sit in for a bit?
00:23Ro.
00:24I don't want to do it.
00:25I was wrong about everything.
00:27I need you both.
00:28I want to be here.
01:00Can you believe in a few hours me and Frankie Goode were on a beach sleeping cocktails?
01:07Get back in.
01:30Hello?
01:33Yeah, my name's Diane.
01:36I need your help.
01:47You like Freddy?
01:48Yeah.
01:50What have you got there?
01:52Just having a tidy up.
02:00Are you sure I'm not going to cramp this time?
02:02Frankie, as if anyone could, alright? And Lucas can't wait to see you.
02:11Right, Livion, I've got your client.
02:13Who?
02:14Ray.
02:15Mr Palais Connections.
02:17What the sleaze? Who invited his mates to try it on with Frankie?
02:20Listen, he's already explained, alright, that was all a misunderstanding.
02:23And you're lucky he's given you a second chance after you've walked out on him.
02:27Okay.
02:29Yeah, tell him I'll be here.
02:30Great.
02:31And, er, best behaviour, right?
02:33Ray might seem like a pussycat, but he's not the kind of person that you let down.
02:41Frankie, that man is a pervert.
02:43Alright, and I've booked our flights.
02:44Like, if I'm gonna get clean for Lucas, we've gotta get out of here today.
02:48And we are.
02:49Plus the extra cash won't hurt.
02:51Relax.
02:53I know just how I'm gonna handle Ray.
02:57Diane.
03:01Don't underestimate how important Roe confiding in you was.
03:09Because what I see is a boy who wants help.
03:13Keep that line of dialogue open.
03:16I will. I promise.
03:19See you later.
03:20See you in a bit.
03:21I spoke to a mental health case worker and they said it'd be a few weeks before Roe hits to see a counsellor.
03:29Dad, I don't need any help. I'm fine.
03:31Well, actually, I've already called for someone to speak to Roe.
03:34Oh.
03:36That'll be them now.
03:38What?
03:40I'm not ready to talk to anybody yet.
03:43Hey, come in.
03:46Do you find us okay?
03:47Yeah, directions are spot on. Thank you.
03:49You must be Roe.
03:50Hi, I'm Matt.
03:51Hey, what are you doing?
04:07They're private.
04:09What's our list then?
04:11They're hand prints.
04:12Mine, Lexi's, the twins, that's all.
04:14Oh, right, is it?
04:15Nice.
04:16So why are you hiding it?
04:17I'm planning something.
04:19And that's all you need to know.
04:21Nah, you're acting too sus, mate.
04:22I'm gonna need more than that.
04:23Yeah, I just told you, it's none of your business.
04:25Look, if you've got a weird preschool thing for glitter and safety scissors, I ain't keeping that to myself.
04:32Alright then.
04:33Guess I'll just take a little walk to the cafe and pray you don't blab to Mercedes.
04:36Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
04:37Prince, stop.
04:39If I show you something, can you promise me it won't go any further?
04:43Sure.
04:51Is that an engagement ring?
04:53Yeah.
04:55I'm gonna ask Mercy to marry me.
04:58Now you know, maybe you could help me with something.
05:02Do you really think it's safe leaving Frankie alone with a man like Ray?
05:06You don't get a say.
05:08Not since I rumbled you having a bromance with Donny the Plod.
05:11Well, I'm just saying, we need to, we need to protect our assets.
05:14Well, you do that then, yeah?
05:16Cos Ray's the most important one, so she'd better not back up again.
05:22Now, I'll grab your stuff.
05:24Tony's busy today, so me and you are opening the hotch.
05:26Time to go on Egypt with Dylan.
05:28Egypt?
05:30Yeah.
05:31Since when?
05:32It's yesterday.
05:33Since he asked me.
05:34Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
05:35You two are going away?
05:36Yeah, Frankie too.
05:37It's all been booked.
05:38Are you gonna allow this?
05:39What do you think?
05:40What's it to you anyway?
05:41Look, I told Dylan about the tumour, about how I don't wanna get an operation.
05:43He's fine with it.
05:44Also, as long as Dr Dylan's okay with it.
05:47Cos I'd hate to get in the way of his next hike.
05:48Lucas!
05:49Anything could happen to you on the plane, or on the beach in the middle of nowhere.
05:52Well, something's already happened, hasn't it, Dad?
05:54Alright, and being home has not helped.
05:57Is this you using Dylan as a distraction because you're scared?
06:02I'm not talking about this.
06:04If that boy really loved you, or cared about you, he'd be telling you to have the operation.
06:09Is he really worth risking your life for?
06:11Yeah, he is.
06:12Right, so I'm leaving this afternoon.
06:13There's nothing you can do about it, either of you.
06:17Um, I just realised that I've, um, I've got someone I need to tell Grace.
06:22I'm glad to see you.
06:28Got ahead to school, but I'll message you after.
06:31Thanks, Kathleen Angel.
06:38Um, so how do you two know each other?
06:41Well, I went to the meeting.
06:43What, Matt runs for trans kids?
06:45I've tried these before, they never were.
06:46Oh, Roe, please.
06:47Come on, you've tried it once and it wasn't the right fit.
06:50Actually, I agree.
06:52Listening to people fighting to say their piece.
06:56That was never me.
06:57I spent most of my teenage years hiding in my bedroom, listening to Slipknot.
07:01Slipknot?
07:02And, like, a heavy metal band who wear masks?
07:05Maybe something in me loved the idea of hiding behind a new persona.
07:08No hidden subtext there, obviously.
07:10Although, truth is, I was only really listening to try and impress a boy.
07:14Did it work?
07:16No, he's, uh, no longer with us.
07:20Oh.
07:22I'm so sorry.
07:24So, um, here's another reason I wanted to set up the group.
07:27To help people like him.
07:28Roe, I only told Matt that it's been a really tough year with me, you've had to split them up.
07:38If there's one thing to take from today, I hope it's that you know you're not alone.
07:43Whatever journey you're on, there are others in the group who've been on one, too.
07:47And we're still here.
07:50Just living our lives and being happy.
07:54Showing the world it could be done.
07:58I just wish there'd been something like this while my friend was still alive.
08:07What was your friend's name?
08:08His name was Gary.
08:14Listen, why don't we let your mum go and I can tell you more about the group?
08:20If you're both comfortable with that.
08:25Um, yeah.
08:27Yeah, I think I'd like that.
08:29Great.
08:31Right, well, you text me when you're done, yeah?
08:38I'm sorry about the way things ended last time.
08:46Just got a bit nervous.
08:48There's no need to be.
08:50Around me.
08:51You're in safe hands.
08:57You know I could be good for you, Frankie.
08:59I was so naive at your age.
09:05I once bought a second-hand car off a man I met in a pub.
09:09First time out in it, the brakes failed and I ended up wrapping it round a tree, which taught me a valuable lesson.
09:16And what was that?
09:18Never part with good money.
09:23Without taking a test drive first.
09:28Oh!
09:30Are you okay?
09:32Yeah.
09:34It's just a bit lightheaded.
09:35Lightheaded.
09:36That's all.
09:40Alright, I'm gonna call Lucas.
09:41Tell him we're on our way.
09:42What have you done?
09:49I don't believe this.
09:50What about if you'd have killed him, alright?
09:51Do you realise the danger you'd be in?
09:52Just let us leave.
09:53Alright, Ray wouldn't even know you were here.
09:54No, no, no.
09:55No, no.
09:56I can't do that, because if I do that, Ray's gonna be after my head.
09:58Hey.
09:59Look, we'll pay you back what we owe.
10:01Alright, but we need to get out of here.
10:03We've got to get clean.
10:04Yeah, and we'll be back in a few weeks.
10:06You don't just get time off, Frankie.
10:07You don't just get time off, Frankie.
10:10No.
10:11I don't believe this.
10:13What about if you'd have killed him, alright?
10:15Do you realise the danger you'd be in?
10:16Just let us leave.
10:17Alright, Ray wouldn't even know you were here.
10:18No, no, no.
10:19No, I can't do that.
10:20Because if I do that, Ray's gonna be after my head.
10:22Hey.
10:23Look, we'll pay you back what we owe.
10:24Frankie.
10:25Grace owns you.
10:26Look, we can just go to the police.
10:28They already know.
10:29Grace has them in her pocket, too.
10:31Look, maybe there is only one way out.
10:34Okay, you both need to go.
10:36Well, yeah, that was always the plan.
10:39I'm not talking about topping up your tan, Dylan.
10:41I mean, for good.
10:42You both need to get out that door
10:44and never come back, alright?
10:46Because after this, if Grace sees you again,
10:50she'll kill you both.
10:51It looks...
10:56A bit higher.
10:58Perfect.
10:59Yeah?
11:00Wait...
11:01You're not as cute to see how nervous you are.
11:06Well, I don't just love Mercy.
11:07I adore her.
11:08I wanna spend the rest of my life making her happy.
11:11What, and you think that this says that?
11:13It's symbolic, innit?
11:14How we wanna live is a blended family.
11:16Me, Mercy, our kids.
11:19Well, don't you like that?
11:22Well, no pressure, obviously.
11:24What Mercedes has been proposed to a lot.
11:26Yeah, I'm well aware of that.
11:30Look, mate, I think she'll love it.
11:32I still think she wants to be swept off her feet.
11:34I mean, what are you actually gonna say
11:36when you actually pop the question?
11:37I dunno.
11:38I was hoping that inspiration was gonna strike.
11:40Well, on those other guys.
11:41I bet they are rehearsed.
11:43Haven't you got any real mates to hang out with?
11:45Oi!
11:46Stop messing around with that.
11:47Give it here.
11:48I meant pass it!
11:49Well, it's not right what you can't catch.
11:50What are we gonna do now?
11:51Frankie, wait!
11:52Hey.
11:53What if Rex is right and we can't ever come back?
11:54Come back for what?
11:55A cheat in Dad?
11:56Another broken family?
11:57Besides, everything around here just reminds me of JJ.
11:58So I know I'm ready.
11:59Are you?
12:00Cause you're asking Lucas to go on the run when he's sick.
12:01What, do you think you'll change his mind and not wanna come back?
12:02I mean, pass it!
12:03Well, it's not right what you can't catch!
12:04What are we gonna do now?
12:05Frankie, wait!
12:06Hey, what if Rex is right and we can't ever come back?
12:07Come back for what?
12:08A cheat in Dad?
12:09Another broken family?
12:10I'm gonna go back with JJ.
12:11So I know I'm ready.
12:12Are you?
12:13Cause you're asking Lucas to go on the run when he's sick.
12:15What, do you think he'll change his mind and not wanna come?
12:18Well, if he's got a tumour, do you even know if it's safe for him to fly?
12:21But initially, he said yes, so...
12:24I dunno, maybe he'll say yes again when he finds that you're not coming back, but he needs to know.
12:29I guess this is one way of finding out whether he loves me or not.
12:32Go, grab your passport.
12:34I'll see you at the bus stop.
12:35So yesterday, Ro told us that he'd been thinking about suicide.
12:45Oh.
12:46I'm so sorry.
12:47Is he okay?
12:48Are you okay?
12:49Well, I have found someone for him to talk to who I think's gonna help, but...
12:55Is this all my fault?
12:57Why would you think that?
12:59Well, because a few weeks ago, I fell off the wagon.
13:03But it was a big mistake.
13:06Diane, you slipped.
13:08What happened was an accident.
13:10I don't think that planted a seed in Roe.
13:12You've been through something traumatic too.
13:14I don't know how I'd cope if Tori ever contemplated that.
13:18Tori?
13:20It's a nice name, is that your daughter's?
13:23Yeah.
13:24She's great.
13:26We adopted Tori when she was six years old.
13:28My wife had an accident.
13:30After that, she couldn't have kids.
13:32I'm so sorry.
13:34Don't be.
13:35If we'd have had a baby of our own, we'd never have met Tori.
13:40And that wee girl, she's...
13:42She's my world.
13:44But Diane, you are an amazing mum,
13:47who recognised that her child was in pain,
13:49and you've found someone who might be able to help it.
13:51You're always a lucky boy to have you.
13:55Thank you for saying that.
13:59I hear girl, I think that you're starting to care.
14:03I think that you wanted to help her.
14:04Yeah.
14:05Do you want to help her?
14:06No.
14:07I don't think she's a good man.
14:09I don't know.
14:10I don't know where it's taking away,
14:11but...
14:12I don't know where she is.
14:13I don't know where her child was the child.
14:14But it is.
14:15There's no pain.
14:16I can't be found out here.
14:17You're an elderly friend.
14:18I'm out on her.
14:20I have a baby.
14:21Dabei is a baby.
14:23I can't be found out here.
14:24Oh, he's so sorry.
14:25So many boomers,
14:26Hello.
14:40Hope you're decent.
14:49Ray?
14:51Yeah, are you with us?
14:56Hey.
15:05Yeah, I need you to send a message to little Miss Frankie.
15:09You tell her she runs out on me.
15:11She's not the only one she's putting in danger.
15:15What in your life?
15:16It's probably halfway down the deep by now.
15:19It wasn't expensive, was it?
15:20Don't worry, the payout from your life insurance should cover it.
15:23Lexi was expecting to come home to a massive party.
15:26She couldn't be devastated.
15:27Oh, look, mate, I'm sorry.
15:28It's my fault, I'm an idiot.
15:30Well, at least we can agree on one thing.
15:32You might as well take this lot down.
15:33At least till I get a new ring.
15:35Will you marry me?
15:37What?
15:37Who is that for?
15:39Well, who do you think?
15:42Hey, it's a bit sudden, Freddie,
15:44but now it explains the sexual tension between us.
15:48What?
15:48I'm joking.
15:50Mercedes, I'm really sorry.
15:52I had this whole thing planned out.
15:54But when you think about it, this is kind of us.
15:56Is it?
15:57What is?
15:58You know, how there's always something trying to keep us apart.
16:01The threat of prison.
16:02You being sick.
16:04How I just dropped your engagement ring down the sink.
16:05Er, that was me, actually.
16:08Yeah.
16:10But, still, here we are.
16:12And I know after everything that we've been through,
16:14it can often feel like we're not supposed to be together.
16:16Don't get me wrong, this whole living with you thing,
16:18it's a whole new experience.
16:20Like you leaving your breadcrumbs in the bed
16:22and how you won't ever let me finish the sentence.
16:24Freddie, just stop.
16:26Oh.
16:27Soak it up, you.
16:29It's romantic.
16:31Go on, love.
16:32All I know is I love you more than anything
16:36in my whole life, ever.
16:40So, Mercedes McQueen,
16:43will you marry me?
16:46No.
16:48Eh?
16:48I'm sorry, Freddie, I just...
16:51I can't.
16:52What?
16:58Oh.
16:59Just the man I was about to hunt down.
17:03Is Lucas in?
17:04He's gone out.
17:05Getting sun lotion.
17:08You look like crap, by the way.
17:11Are you on something now?
17:13No.
17:13I'm just hired.
17:15Right, I've been working too hard.
17:16Don't lie to me.
17:17Get in here.
17:20How are you supposed to take care of my son?
17:22You barely see your own kid.
17:24And have you thought about what would happen
17:25if Lucas collapses again in the middle of nowhere,
17:27miles from help?
17:28How could you live with yourself
17:29if something bad happened to my son
17:31and I know that you were to blame?
17:33Cos I'd never forgive you.
17:40I need to go.
17:44Lucas needs to be close to an hospital.
17:46So if you love him,
17:48you'll walk away now.
17:52Still, I got on.
17:52I ain't giving you the choice.
17:54Now, you've broken his heart before.
17:55Do it again.
18:03Grace, I'm busy.
18:05Dylan and Frankie have done a runner,
18:06so I'm about to send a message
18:07that should have them scurrying back.
18:10Okay, no message.
18:11If you betray me,
18:12I'll make your family pay,
18:13so this is a warning.
18:14And when that call comes through,
18:20make sure you clean this mess up.
18:23Hello?
18:25Grace?
18:29You know, it's really cute
18:31listening to Morgan
18:32try and teach you the times tables.
18:33Who's teaching her?
18:35Oh, if you say so.
18:36Hey, Frankie.
18:38You moving back in?
18:38No, er, I'm leaving.
18:43You what?
18:44Leaving?
18:45What, for good?
18:46No, no.
18:47Er, I'm...
18:48I'm just going on a little holiday
18:50with Dylan and Lucas.
18:52Er, wait.
18:53You going on a holiday?
18:55How are you going to afford that?
18:56We just are, okay?
18:57Will you stop grilling me?
18:58Miss, I'm not grilling you.
19:00I'm your dad,
19:00and I care about you, actually.
19:02Right.
19:02I think I'm all right, okay?
19:08Darren?
19:09No, it's all right.
19:09Stay there.
19:13I can't see anyone.
19:15Er, you two stay there.
19:16I'm going to check the front, all right?
19:22Get the fire extinguisher!
19:24Dad!
19:25Ah!
19:32I can't see anyone else.
