00:00The
00:29Decaf?
00:30I bought, bought some. Thought I'd drink some too in solidarity.
00:34Decaf?
00:35Alright, fine. Can I make you anything for breakfast or are you still feeling dodgy?
00:41When was I feeling dodgy?
00:43Well, you're in the toilet a long time this morning.
00:47Alright, timing me now are you?
00:49No, I just thought maybe you were...
00:51No!
00:52I could give Richard that lot message, see if they're up for a night out.
00:56I thought you didn't like him.
00:57Yeah, well, I can put up with him if we need to get to go out.
01:00I've got a load of studying to do. Then I'm at the hospital. And I've said I'd help Grandad
01:04in the shop later. I'll be too knackered.
01:06Yeah, well, you're gonna be even more knackered when we've got a screaming baby. Come on, we've
01:09got to make the most of it.
01:10Okay.
01:11You don't mind, do you?
01:12Why would I mind?
01:13Well, you know, we're leaving you to babysit. Still can't believe you're pregnant.
01:18Yeah, me neither. Success rate's like 30%.
01:21Yeah, and we're really grateful, aren't we? We're gonna be a family, me, you and that
01:26little one.
01:27And a million dingles.
01:29Oh, can't wait.
01:31What time should we go out if everyone could come?
01:34No, no, no. I don't really fancy you on out, to be fair.
01:37Yeah, we could just go out for a few drinks.
01:39Oh, that's awful. Are you on your way there now?
01:43No, don't even think about it. I'll sort it. Yeah. Alright, speak to you soon. Bye.
01:50Ooh. You look rough. You sleep okay?
01:53Yeah, I had another nightmare. I'm alright.
01:55Do you wanna talk about it?
01:57No, I just need a coffee. Who's that on the phone?
02:00Oh, it was Claire. Harry was supposed to be having a play date with Martha.
02:04I'm not supposed to know who that is?
02:05Yeah, he's a friend from school. She's been around here for tea.
02:09Oh, but you always disappear when kids are around.
02:11Yeah, because it always gets so noisy.
02:13Well, anyway, Claire is on her way to A&E with a fractured wrist. She fell off a treadmill.
02:18No, don't, because I can't go to work now.
02:22Unless somebody offered to have this little one.
02:27He didn't want to spend the day with me.
02:30Yeah, he'd love it.
02:32Isn't there anyone else?
02:43Why are you being like this? Have you hardly ever spent time with him?
02:48The truth is, Vic, I've been holding back from getting close to him.
02:52Why?
02:53Well, you haven't told him about me, have you?
02:55Why I was in prison.
02:56He's too young to understand.
02:58Yeah, well, he's gonna find out sooner or later, isn't he?
03:02You know what people are like.
03:03Well, they've managed so far.
03:04Nobody wants to have that conversation with a little boy.
03:07When the time's right, we'll tell him together.
03:10And he's gonna hate me?
03:11No, he won't.
03:12He's growing up without a dad because of me.
03:15If Lee were still alive, do you think I would let him anywhere near my son?
03:19He was always gonna grow up without a dad.
03:23You can be a father figure to him.
03:25Me?
03:26Yes, Harry loves you.
03:27He's always gonna love you.
03:28You don't always love me.
03:30Well, that's because you're gonna be really irritating.
03:32Come on.
03:33You know I love you.
03:35Yeah, I love you too.
03:37So, I'm gonna finish getting ready for work.
03:40You have a lovely day with your nephew.
03:42You're gonna be great.
03:43Try not to spoil him too much.
03:54Morning, bro.
03:55Broski.
03:58What?
03:59Bro, mate.
04:01How's it hanging?
04:02I mean, I don't mean...
04:04Never mind.
04:06Were you waiting behind that door?
04:09You could've come and sat with me.
04:11I thought you'd gone to work.
04:12Alright, I'm on my way.
04:14I can take that in for you.
04:16What?
04:17Well, if I hang around, I'm gonna cramp your style.
04:18No.
04:19So you're off today, innit?
04:20Any plans?
04:21Nah.
04:22Listen, why don't you two do something nice?
04:24Just go to the...
04:25Do you know what?
04:26Go into Hotton.
04:27Treat yourselves to some lunch.
04:28You both deserve it.
04:29Dad.
04:30Please, take it.
04:31Take it, take it.
04:32Right, I'm off to work.
04:33Have fun.
04:36Right, what time do I need to drop it off?
04:37Not till 12.45.
04:38Okay, and I just put it behind the wheelie bin and then I walk away, right?
04:51We've been over this.
04:52It's easy, alright?
04:53Promise.
04:54You drop it, some kid on a bike grabs it, that's it.
04:56Job done.
04:57Boom.
04:58Yeah.
04:59Don't need to be nervous, alright?
05:00No one's even gonna look at you.
05:01I just wanna get it over with.
05:02And then we can forget about rare.
05:04Here we go.
05:07A double chocolate milkshake for the cutest customer of the day.
05:11I'm gonna need a payment now.
05:12I know what you're like doing things that don't belong to you.
05:14All I'm gonna do is run her.
05:19Yeah.
05:20You can do what you like now.
05:21Have a nice day.
05:22So, er, what do you wanna do today?
05:26Go for a walk?
05:27I don't like walking.
05:29We haven't got to play on the swings.
05:32No.
05:33Why don't we go to the cinema?
05:36Sit nice and quiet in a dark room.
05:38Maybe.
05:39Alright?
05:40Er, yeah.
05:41Just on, er, babysitting duty.
05:44Ask me later.
05:45Well, I can see that.
05:47What are yous gonna do?
05:49Still trying to figure that out, aren't we?
05:51Erm, the Hotton Cinema's not showing anything age-appropriate, so I might end up sitting
05:57watching kids' TV all afternoon.
05:59Well, that sounds great.
06:01Why don't you come join us?
06:04Er, well, I can't.
06:06I've got to work.
06:07Can you sack it off?
06:08Come on, I need help.
06:10I can't let Vic down and, you know, I'm still trying to make up.
06:14You don't need me for that.
06:16Er, anyway, I better go.
06:19What's this?
06:20I'm just grabbing a butt here.
06:22See ya.
06:27Oh, come on.
06:28You've got Harry.
06:29Vic's at work.
06:30She'll need to ask your permission.
06:32You really should be nicer to me.
06:34Oh!
06:35Oh, no!
06:36It's alright.
06:37I'll, er...
06:38I'll clean it up.
06:39Erm...
06:42Silly.
06:45Hey, Harry.
06:46Do you know what would be really fun?
06:48You playing that drum I bought you really loudly, yeah?
06:51Uncle Robert would love that.
06:53Yeah.
07:02There was a time they ran like clockwork.
07:04But now...
07:06Drivers these days...
07:07They don't care about timetables.
07:09I saw one get out and have a cigarette or vape.
07:13Shocking!
07:14Going shopping?
07:16Yeah.
07:17That already looks full.
07:19Mine's the same.
07:20My Bible tapes up most of the room.
07:22I like to read a passage on the bus.
07:25That's why I got myself a wheelie trolley.
07:29I can lend it to you if you like.
07:31No, thanks.
07:32It's no trouble.
07:33I said no.
07:35Ah.
07:36No need to be rude.
07:38Sorry.
07:39Sorry, I'm just stressed.
07:41Got a lot on.
07:42Anything I can help with?
07:44I'm a good listener.
07:46It's okay, thanks.
07:48I'll leave you in peace.
07:50Hope your bus turns up soon.
08:05How do we do some drawing?
08:08This is good.
08:12Is that for me?
08:13No, that's me.
08:14That's for me.
08:16Oh, I love the hair.
08:18Is that me?
08:20No, that's Uncle John.
08:24Can you please stop that, Harry?
08:26Can you stop that?
08:34Can you please stop the drumming, Harry?
08:36No.
08:38Harry, can you please stop the drumming?
08:40I said stop it.
08:43How many times have I got to tell you?
08:45Hey.
08:46Hey, leave him alone.
08:48What are you doing here?
08:49Hey, Harry.
08:51You okay?
08:52Did Uncle Robert scare you?
08:54He's fine.
08:55Come here, it's okay.
08:56Come on, come on.
08:57It's alright.
08:58You're safe with me.
08:59I didn't hurt him.
09:01He's terrified.
09:02Look at him.
09:03Harry, I'm sorry.
09:05I...
09:15Alright?
09:17Fine, be like that then.
09:36No!
09:37No, stop!
09:52What are you doing back here?
09:53We need a little chat.
09:54After that nice speech that husband of yours made.
09:57All proud of his wife getting knocked up but not by him.
10:00Love to hear the version when he finds out that it might be mine.
10:02It's not.
10:04I saw your face.
10:05I can read you, Charity.
10:06You told me everything I need to know.
10:08You're deluded.
10:09You swore to me that it wasn't mine.
10:10And it's not yours, okay?
10:14I had a scam this morning.
10:15A private one, just to make doubly sure.
10:17And the consultant said that it's definitely Sarah and Jacob's embryo.
10:22And how can they tell?
10:23Has it got Jacob's mullet?
10:25They're all the same at that point.
10:26It's just a blob.
10:28Gosh, thank you, Doctor.
10:29Clearly your medical training did go to waste.
10:31They did measurements, okay?
10:33And the timelines don't add up.
10:35I don't believe you.
10:36It's not yours!
10:37We have got a track record.
10:39Your eggs are like magnets to my swimmers.
10:41So excuse me for being a little tetchy.
10:44Look, if it's mine, you need to get rid of it.
10:47I haven't got room in my life for another.
10:49You think I have?
10:50This isn't about us, okay?
10:51This is about Sarah.
10:52She can never have a kid of her own.
10:54So this is her one chance.
10:56I'm not gonna let you ruin it.
10:58Look, I was pregnant before we did the unthinkable, okay?
11:02Is that clear enough for you?
11:04What's going on?
11:10Well, there's clearly something up with you both.
11:25So, hide with it.
11:26Ross came to tell me that Moses has been crying.
11:32He's not really understanding this baby thing.
11:35You know, the fact it's not actually mine.
11:38He's getting confused.
11:40He seemed fine to me.
11:42Well, that's what I thought.
11:44But he's been asking questions, hasn't he?
11:47He thinks he's getting another brother or sister, doesn't he?
11:51Because mummy here is messing with his head.
11:53But don't worry, I put him straight.
11:55What else would I do for my one and only kid?
11:59Poor Harry's in bits.
12:11I finally managed to calm him down.
12:13Left him playing a game on his tablet.
12:15He didn't seem that upset.
12:17No.
12:19He's probably too scared to show it in front of you.
12:22I didn't touch him.
12:24And I wouldn't.
12:25He doesn't know that.
12:26I don't know it either.
12:28Who knows what you'd have done if I hadn't walked in.
12:30I'd never do anything to hurt him.
12:32Like you'd never hit Vic or put me in hospital.
12:36You snapped.
12:38And he's just a kid.
12:40You can't keep acting like this and expect everyone to make excuses for you.
12:44Yes, yeah, we all know what you've been through.
12:46But this, this has to stop.
12:52I don't want to be like this.
12:54You weren't in control earlier.
12:58And you can't just sit around and hope to get better.
13:00Not when there's a kid in the house.
13:02Seeing my nephew scared like that.
13:06I don't know what to do now.
13:08I need to get back to work.
13:10But can I trust that you will look after him properly?
13:12Yeah.
13:14When I say go out for lunch, I didn't expect you to come here.
13:18I thought you'd be sick of the sight of me.
13:20Er, April's idea.
13:21She'll be here in a minute.
13:22Oh, has she sent you away so she could have a few minutes to herself?
13:25Cos Ron is always doing that to me.
13:27He says I get under her feet.
13:28Not that I'm suggesting you get under anyone's feet.
13:31Let me get you some lunch on the house.
13:33Anything you fancy.
13:34I know, it's fine. We'll pay.
13:35You gave us money for it.
13:36Chips?
13:37Yeah.
13:38Coming right up.
13:39How did it go then?
13:40I messed up.
13:41What?
13:42This guy was hassling me and he took the bag.
13:45What, he just snatched it off you?
13:46No.
13:47He started following me, trying to talk.
13:49I ignored him, so he backed off.
13:51But I dropped the bag behind the bin.
13:53And then I walked away.
13:54But then I saw him grab it and run.
13:55Well, who was he?
13:56I don't know.
13:57He didn't tell me his name.
13:58Did you see anyone on a bike?
14:00Yeah, but they didn't take the bag.
14:02Well, I haven't had a message from Ray.
14:06Right, is that a good thing?
14:07I don't know.
14:08I'm supposed to meet him later.
14:09Okay, well, is he gonna be angry?
14:12How about I come with you, so I can explain,
14:15and then you won't get in trouble for it?
14:17Well, he's usually sound with me, but this hasn't happened before.
14:19You know, I don't know how it'll be.
14:21It's a lot of money to lose.
14:23Okay, I'm sorry.
14:25I should have never said I'd do it.
14:27That was work.
14:32It's okay.
14:34You didn't need to come in and help, you know.
14:38You must be shattered.
14:40I don't mind.
14:42Tough shift?
14:44The usual.
14:46You don't seem your normal self.
14:51Anything you want to talk about?
14:53I'm not prying.
14:56It's mum.
15:01I've been thinking about her a lot.
15:06Wishing she was her.
15:08And when we found out Charity was pregnant,
15:11the first thing I wanted to do was tell her she's gonna be a grandma.
15:15She would have run down that road to buy every baby grow possible.
15:21Yeah, and a pair of boots for herself.
15:24Any excuse to shop.
15:25Yeah.
15:26She'd hate being called grandma.
15:28Can you imagine?
15:30She'd be the most glamorous.
15:32Charity might fight her for that title.
15:35But I'd put my money on mum.
15:38She'd be very proud of you.
15:42I wish I could hear her say it.
15:46I think that's what's getting me down.
15:51My kid gets to grow up as a dingle, but...
15:55He won't get to know any of my side of the family.
15:59Apart from you.
16:00I couldn't keep up with that lot.
16:03And I'd never fill your mother's shoes.
16:09No, you won't be able to walk in them.
16:12But what I can do is offer the love and support to you and your little one.
16:20Just like your mum would.
16:24Come here.
16:25Should we order a pizza tonight?
16:35Yep.
16:36Whatever you want.
16:37Actually, I could, er, go and pick one up from the hide.
16:40I need to see Vic.
16:41Why?
16:44That's Robert.
16:45He lost it with Harry.
16:47What?
16:48Yeah.
16:49Looked like he was about to hit him.
16:51Lucky I was there to stop him.
16:53Hang on.
16:54You went round that?
16:55Hmm.
16:56I was worried something like this had happened.
16:58You should have seen Harry.
17:00He was terrified.
17:01Came running to me.
17:02Was he alright?
17:03Hmm.
17:04Yeah.
17:06And what about Robert?
17:08I'll put him in his place.
17:11Insisted he needs to get help.
17:13He's volatile.
17:14You know, he's put me in hospital, giving Vic a black eye.
17:17Now he's terrifying little kids.
17:18Yeah, but come on.
17:19He's not gonna hurt Harry, is he?
17:20He was always amazing with Sam.
17:21Well, why have you defended him all of a sudden?
17:23I'm not.
17:25You were the one that was telling me to give him a chance the other week.
17:28I don't want him round here any more than you do, but...
17:31If he's on his own, he's not gonna get help, is he?
17:34He needs his family round him and...
17:37We just have to deal with that.
17:39But just give him a chance to tell Vic himself.
17:42Don't you go running to her.
17:43No, as long as it doesn't happen again.
17:46Harry was scared.
17:47He's only five.
17:48Well, he's not hurt though, is he?
17:50That's the main thing.
17:51Yeah.
17:52I made sure of it.
17:54I'm his uncle.
17:56He means...
17:57...everything to me.
17:58And he's lucky to have you.
18:13Alright, D-man?
18:17Alright.
18:18April did the job like she was supposed to.
18:24Yeah.
18:25It wasn't a fault a lad just took the bag and ran.
18:28You lost my gear?
18:30They got nicked for me, I'm sorry.
18:33Then we have a bit of a problem then, don't we?
18:43Look, I have been thinking about what Ross said and...
18:48I think I should talk to Moses.
18:51No, babe.
18:53I get why he's finding it so hard.
18:55I did.
18:56And for a small kid, this must be mind-blowing.
19:00Maybe I can help him make sense of it.
19:02Do you know what?
19:03Ross has already done that, so...
19:04Yeah, he says he has.
19:05Please, don't open it up again, babe.
19:07I mean, the more we talk about it, the more it's gonna make a big deal of it.
19:10And I just don't want that.
19:12And Moses is settled now.
19:14Just...
19:15Please leave it, will you?
19:20That's what you want.
19:36I'll pay you back, alright?
19:37I'll do whatever it takes.
19:38Just forget April, okay?
19:39I'm the one to blame.
19:40I'll sort it.
19:42You really like her?
19:43Yeah.
19:46Covering for her like that.
19:48That's loyal.
19:49I respect that.
19:52You don't have to worry about her drugs.
19:57I'm winding you up.
19:59That girl of yours did good.
20:00The package was delivered safely.
20:02Oh, my God.
20:04Why would you do that to me?
20:06I'm sorry.
20:07I couldn't resist your face.
20:09I was stressed.
20:10Well, she earned you a good payday as well.
20:15Thanks.
20:17I'm glad to have her on my team.
20:19It'll be easier next time.
20:20Yeah, I don't think there's gonna be a next time.
20:21Yeah, I don't think there's gonna be a next time.
20:27She hated doing it, okay?
20:29This is a one-off.
20:31Fair enough.
20:33What, you don't mind?
20:34It's not for everyone.
20:36Even though she was a natural.
20:38I can still count on you though, can't I?
