00:00Happy Birthday
00:29Happy Birthday
00:59Happy Birthday
01:29See you later.
01:30Well, I'll take you to meet, yeah?
01:32Just don't expect an answer, cos I'll be working, won't I?
01:40Oi!
01:41Come on, you. I need to be helping Chas with the delivery.
01:43I booked you on holiday club this afternoon.
01:45Oh, it's well boring. Can I not stay here?
01:48No, you can't. You're too young for a start.
01:50And anyway, you'd only vegetate in front of that.
01:52Don't you wanna have fun with your mates?
01:54Oh, come on, less of the attitude.
01:57Right, let me get rid of who this is and then we're gonna set off. No arguments.
02:01Let yourself in, why don't you? It's only my house.
02:04I only came to make your life a bit easier, but if you don't want me to take Moses...
02:08Well, you're too little too late. He's booked on to holiday club.
02:11I don't wanna go.
02:12See? I'd rather spend some time with your dad, right?
02:15Yeah.
02:16What are you up to?
02:18What makes you think I'm up to something?
02:20Cos your lips are moving. That and the fact I don't trust you.
02:23Well, works both ways.
02:25But if you don't want me to have him, then fine.
02:28Please.
02:29Oh, fine, whatever. Go and get your stuff then. So I'm not late for work.
02:35Not seeing Vanessa today. A little heart-to-heart about babies.
02:38Oh, I'd tread very carefully if I were you.
02:40Well, you know me. Danger's my middle name.
02:44Ready?
02:45Nice one, brava!
02:46Right. I'll put this up later.
02:48Let's go!
03:06Alright. Not so interesting.
03:08Who's that?
03:09It's a private go. How can anyone join in?
03:14What's Dylan up to?
03:18I really hope it's not what I think it is.
03:22Hey, you.
03:23Hey.
03:24Can't stop.
03:25Meet you all and Arthur for Arthur's birthday lunch.
03:27Come if you like.
03:28Er, maybe later.
03:29The girl's calling round.
03:30I need to speak to her after what you told her about Cammie.
03:31Even though I asked you not to do.
03:32Yeah, well, I saw them together and I couldn't ignore it.
03:33I had to say something.
03:34Hey.
03:35Look, if you, er, change your mind, I'll be up at the hide.
03:36He'd love to see you.
03:37Right, I'll, er, leave you to it.
03:38You need to have words?
03:39No, no.
03:40She's just being protected, you know, after Cammie.
03:41Well, yeah, I'm not surprised.
03:42You must have been really scared.
03:43Yeah, well, I might have made it sound worse.
03:44I mean, I don't know what I asked you not to do.
03:45What I asked you not to do.
03:46Yeah, well, I saw them together and I couldn't ignore it.
03:47I had to say something.
03:48Hey.
03:49Look, if you, er, change your mind, I'll be up at the hide.
03:50He'd love to see you.
03:51Right, I'll, er, leave you to it.
03:52You need to have words?
03:53No.
03:54No, she's just being protected, you know, after Cammie.
03:56Well, yeah, I'm not surprised.
03:57You need to have words?
03:58No.
03:59No, she's just being protected, you know, after Cammie.
04:02Well, yeah, I'm not surprised.
04:03You must have been really scared.
04:04Yeah, well, I might have made it sound worse than what it was.
04:07Well, that and, like I say, Gabby being overprotective.
04:11Wait, so, so what have you lied to Gabby?
04:14Well, no, not, not, not lied exactly, no.
04:17Vinny?
04:18Did Cammie hit you?
04:20He's a good bloke, Belle.
04:22And he really likes you and, you know, I, I wound him up.
04:24It's a simple question, yes or no?
04:26Yeah.
04:27That's all I need to know then.
04:38Someone was hungry.
04:39Feel for a growing lad.
04:41Now, what do you want to do next?
04:43Do you want to play actual football or computer football?
04:45As long as I can be Ronaldo.
04:46Again?
04:47Makes you wonder who's the biggest kid.
04:49Stay in touch with your inner child.
04:51Stops you going old and fusty.
04:52Should try it sometime.
04:53I'd love to.
04:54If only I could be a part-time, part-parent too.
04:58That was low.
05:00Even for you.
05:01Right, come on, bud.
05:05Oh, shouldn't you be rebuilding that fence?
05:07Or is Moira waiting till I do it properly?
05:09It's not like you to let a dig go unchallenged.
05:14Yeah, well, I'm not sure even winding Ross up would cheer me up.
05:18Oh, is this about Aaron?
05:19I can tell from your mopey face.
05:21That'll happen when the man you love leaves the village with someone else.
05:24You mean his husband?
05:25Your brother?
05:26Yeah, him.
05:27What happened to, I've got to accept, it's the right thing for him?
05:31I thought you agreed them moving away was the right call.
05:34Yeah, well, it doesn't mean I like it, does it?
05:39But if Dylan's told you he's working, then what's the problem?
05:42Yeah, exactly.
05:43I happen to lend him money for Arthur's birthday, but he's just too proud.
05:47He wants to solve his own problems.
05:49Not like this.
05:50Then like what?
05:51Because I'm picking up a vibe here, but I don't get why.
05:54Why isn't he answering me?
05:57Because he's probably working.
05:59Yeah, he's probably working.
06:00Or having a health and safety chat or something.
06:02Why don't you try him again later?
06:04Because I need to speak to him now.
06:05Yeah, then keep trying him, that's what you want.
06:07Just keep doing a fair with Justin up to the shop and get some milk.
06:12I've got milk.
06:15Biscuits then.
06:16Oh, my coffee.
06:18Anything.
06:23Right, sorry.
06:28Look at that.
06:30Mandy's taking the milk to work with her again.
06:33Oh, no.
06:35You know how I hate black tea.
06:38So we'll go to the shop?
06:40No.
06:41I'll go to the shop.
06:48Sorry.
06:49And you two stay here.
06:51Yeah.
06:53See you later.
06:59So just the two of us then?
07:02Maybe now you can tell them what's really going on.
07:22You've got some nerve, bro.
07:24Look, I swear I never said anything to Belle.
07:26Well, all I know is that Belle has dumped me for something that I didn't do.
07:28So unless you want to tell her the truth...
07:32Yeah.
07:34Thought not.
07:35Well, I tried explaining that it wasn't your fault, but...
07:38Well, I wish you doubt her bezzy mates, right?
07:40I'll just give her time.
07:42You know, I told her that you were a top bloke and that I was the one who wound you up and...
07:45No, what did you come here for?
07:47Because if you want me to tell you I'm good with this, I'm not.
07:50Yeah, and...
07:51I get that.
07:53And I don't blame you for being angry.
07:54I just...
07:56I just hate us not being mates anymore.
07:58Mates?
08:00Mates don't do stuff like this to each other.
08:02I covered for you and look at where you got me.
08:05So do us both a favour...
08:07and respect that at least, yeah?
08:09Yeah, of course.
08:11And...
08:12I'll speak to Belle again, yeah?
08:13You're good.
08:15I think you've done enough, don't you?
08:20I'm sure that whatever it is that's worrying you...
08:24it won't feel as bad once you've said it out loud.
08:27You're only saying that cos you don't know what I'm worried about.
08:30Then tell me.
08:31Maybe I can help.
08:34Do you know where this building site is?
08:35Cos we could get in the car and see if we can find him.
08:38But, Dad, there isn't a building site. That's the whole point.
08:40I'm sorry, I don't understand then. Who was that blo...
08:45Oh, no, please tell me he's not taking drugs again.
08:47No, he's not taking drugs.
08:50The guy in the car is a punter, Dad.
08:53Dylan needs money and he's too stupid and proud to ask for help
08:57so he goes back to sex work.
08:58It's OK. It's OK. It's OK. It's OK. It's OK. It's OK.
09:10I know you told me Dylan had to do some awful things on the street,
09:20including that,
09:22but surely he's not so desperate now, is he?
09:23I mean, he's got people he can turn to.
09:26You don't know him like I do.
09:28Like Paddy said,
09:30he's used to looking out for himself and...
09:32I mean, he finds it hard to trust anyone, even me.
09:34All we saw was him getting into a car.
09:38And I've seen it before. And when we were on the street...
09:41Wish you not anymore.
09:43But I know that look on his face, Dad.
09:46It's like he switches something off inside and...
09:50OK, listen to me. Listen.
09:53Let's not jump into any conclusions just yet.
09:55There could still be a perfectly innocent explanation.
10:05Sorry.
10:07I'll get some more milk.
10:08No, I can't spare here. I need to go find him.
10:10No, April, wait, wait.
10:11If we wait here, he'll come back eventually.
10:13We can sort this out.
10:15I know you think you're helping,
10:16but honestly, I wish I'd never told you.
10:20Told you what?
10:23Is he all right?
10:26What's going on?
10:29Oh!
10:30Steady.
10:31You've still got tonight, remember?
10:33Oh, my God. Did you ever say that?
10:35I'm now officially an adult.
10:37It doesn't stop me worrying.
10:38Well, be warned.
10:40Tonight's gonna get a little bit messy, right?
10:42Sorry, Gabby, you're not helping.
10:44I think that's the whole point. You want to top up?
10:45Yeah, sounds good.
10:46Right, I give up.
10:47Me and Dottie are just gonna watch a film
10:48and pretend it's a normal night.
10:50Which reminds me I've got to pick her up from Holiday Club.
10:52She is so desperate to give you that present she made you.
10:56That's if you're not too tipsy.
10:59I thought I might go and see Dan after this anyway.
11:03You know, I really wish he was here.
11:07Yeah, me too, love.
11:09He'd be so proud of the man you've become.
11:11Hey, yeah. Just getting Arthur another birthday beer. You want one?
11:21Uh, yeah, why not?
11:23You okay? Or how'd it go with Belle?
11:25She ain't gonna change her mind about Cammy.
11:27Oh, that's his own fault.
11:28Especially after everything she's been through.
11:30He's not like Tom.
11:32Well, that's for Belle to decide, don't you think?
11:34I really liked Cammy, but clearly my judgement's just off.
11:41Well, if you asked me, you made the right decision.
11:44Oh, great. That's exactly what I need right now.
11:47Could always nip out the back.
11:48Something tells me I'll enjoy telling him to back off.
11:51No, I've done enough running away from men.
11:53Good for you.
11:55Is there a chance of a top-up over here?
11:56Still is a pub, isn't it?
11:58Yeah, it's still one that you can get barred from.
12:00Be right here if you need me.
12:02You stalking me, Cammy?
12:05You know that just makes it worse, yeah?
12:07What? No.
12:09Okay, look, I might have seen you come in earlier,
12:11but I only wanted to talk.
12:13What? To tell me that Vinny's lying again?
12:15Would there be any point? Easy, mate.
12:16Of course you're gonna believe him.
12:18But I hoped you knew me a bit too by now, you know.
12:21Yeah, I might talk big sometimes, but I don't do violence.
12:24Tell that to Vinny.
12:26I swear, Belle, I never attacked him.
12:28You have to believe me.
12:33Just give me another chance.
12:35I can't. I'm sorry.
12:37Not only wouldn't Vinny lie, but I thought I was ready to put Tom behind me.
12:43But I can't trust my instincts right now.
12:45Can't risk it.
12:46Mac, you can't get your phone switched off forever.
12:56You might think you can text and then just forget about us.
12:59And fine, be mad at me.
13:01By all means, but do you really think Moses deserves this?
13:03Still no word from lover boy.
13:05Oof.
13:06Makes you wonder.
13:07What was so big that made him run for the hills.
13:10I'm apt to justify myself to you, thanks.
13:13Anyway, I thought you'd both still be out playing with toy guns or whatever.
13:16We've done that.
13:17And we've had a good time, haven't we?
13:18Yeah.
13:19For a whole two and a half hours.
13:21We're in the middle of a computer football match, if you must know.
13:24Just popped out for some supplies, am I right?
13:27Sugar overload.
13:28Just what my day needs, thanks.
13:30I'll take those, thank you.
13:32Go on, you get in.
13:34Er...
13:36You've already let yourself in uninvited once today.
13:39Don't make the same mistake.
13:41But we're in the middle of a tournament.
13:43Oh, proper dad of the year, you, aren't you?
13:44I tell you what.
13:46Come back in a month or two if you can be bothered.
13:48You do know that walking away just makes me more suspicious.
13:51That and seeing the look on your face when I caught you and Vanessa talking about babies.
13:55Well, I am having one, Ross, so do you blame me?
13:56Blame me for having a baby?
13:58No.
13:59It's your choice.
14:00But some of us don't have that luxury, do we?
14:02Not this again.
14:03I told you I wasn't gonna drop it.
14:05I mean, I want to, obviously.
14:07But I keep coming back to the same conclusion.
14:12It's my baby, isn't it?
14:26April?
14:27Er, what are you doing here?
14:28I was just gonna message you.
14:29Back from the building site, are you?
14:30Cash in hand?
14:31Yeah, you lied to me again.
14:32All right, I'm sorry.
14:33I'm just skin-hearted.
14:34Needed some cash and I had no other choice.
14:35Of course you had another choice.
14:36You could have spoke to me before going off with some perv.
14:37Perv?
14:38What, seriously?
14:39You fought us with a punter?
14:40What am I supposed to think?
14:41You're being weird and you could hardly look at me in the cafe earlier.
14:43All right, maybe I lied but not about that.
14:45I felt bad for going on a drug drop.
14:46What?
14:47You told me you were done with all that stuff.
14:49Who is that man?
14:50Dennis is a dealer for one of the real people.
14:51Perf?
14:52What, seriously?
14:53You fought us with a punter?
14:55What am I supposed to think?
14:56You've been weird and you could hardly look at me in the cafe earlier.
14:59All right, maybe I lied, but not about that.
15:03I felt bad for going on a drug drop.
15:05What?
15:06You told me you were done with all that stuff.
15:07Who is that man?
15:08Denny, he's a dealer from Leeds.
15:10He's picked me up a few times now.
15:12Seriously?
15:13All right, I'm sorry, but at least it's better than what you were thinking of me.
15:17I'd never sell myself again.
15:18I care too much about you.
15:20Dylan.
15:24April told us what you've been doing.
15:27Just hope you're all right.
15:28But you told them?
15:31Why would you do that?
15:32I'm sorry.
15:33I was worried and upset and my dad wouldn't stop going on.
15:36We could tell something was wrong, that's all.
15:38You don't have to be embarrassed.
15:41You're all wrong, aren't you?
15:42I was on a building site, didn't a bit of work.
15:46Why would you even all think that?
15:48I mean, that's just weird.
15:49Especially you.
15:50I just wouldn't.
15:54Dylan.
15:55Dylan, please wait.
16:00Dylan.
16:01Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you sure you should be doing that?
16:13I'm not going to be drinking it, am I?
16:15Despite your stupid accusations, winding me up again.
16:18You wouldn't be inhaling wine fumes if I wasn't right.
16:21You're wrong, okay?
16:24Look, it was just...
16:26I was sharing a few private concerns with Vanessa.
16:28That's all.
16:30So why bundle me in here and shut the door?
16:32Because!
16:34What if people out there heard you making these wild assumptions?
16:36And what if any of that got back to Sarah?
16:39Do you have any idea what that would do to her?
16:40No.
16:41Because the only thing you think about is you.
16:44Oh, come on.
16:45It's just me and you now.
16:47Ross, you are off the mark on all counts.
16:51So this isn't you being defensive?
16:54It is not your baby.
16:57And you know this because...
17:00I've told you!
17:01The hospital did tests, didn't they?
17:02Of course they did because that is what they do when someone is being an IVF surrogate and an embryo has been implanted.
17:09So where are they?
17:11These tests.
17:12I want to see them.
17:20Hey.
17:23You okay? You look fed up?
17:25Yeah, just...
17:26Cammie was in here earlier.
17:27Adamant that you're still lying.
17:28But obviously I told him you're my mate.
17:29Why would you do that?
17:30Yeah, of course I wouldn't.
17:32I guess he just really likes you, you know, and...
17:34I can't risk it, can I?
17:36Not after Tom.
17:37I'm sorry.
17:39Don't be.
17:40It's not your fault.
17:41It just proves people aren't always what they seem.
17:44And I guess this is a good thing.
17:45That I've realised this now instead of maybe falling for him.
17:49Do you think you would have? You know, fallen for him?
17:52Guess we'll never know, will we?
17:54Look, a few of us are going out later for Arthur's birthday if you want to take in mind off things.
17:58Thanks, but I don't think I'd be much fun right now.
18:06Don't you think you've had enough?
18:08What am I being all lair and acting like an idiot?
18:10No, I'm just stopping you from getting that far.
18:13Wallowing in what ifs isn't good for anyone. I should know.
18:18What if I want to suffer?
18:19Your choice.
18:22Remember when me and Aaron blessed our marriage in here?
18:24Hmm, yeah.
18:25Until the police showed up, it should have been a sign.
18:27I know.
18:31I know.
18:32I told him to move on and be happy, but...
18:36She didn't know it would hurt this much.
18:38Can't have been easy.
18:39But I guess she did it because you know it's for the best.
18:45Vinny.
18:47Er, just a pint please.
18:55We don't have to go around to Arthur's tonight if you don't want.
18:58I...
19:00I can message him.
19:01I'm scared I won't be able to help myself around his gay mates.
19:06Don't say things like that.
19:10You thought the worst of me.
19:13And then you told your dad, who told Paddy,
19:16as if I don't hate myself enough as it is.
19:20You humiliated me.
19:24They all care about you.
19:26We all want you to be happy here.
19:28And I know I jumped to stupid conclusions, OK?
19:31And I'm sorry.
19:33But I was right about you lying, wasn't I?
19:36You told me that you'd stop dealing drugs.
19:38Do you have any idea how hard it is to live here?
19:41Everyone feeling sorry for me. Or worse.
19:43I mean, did you see the way Nicola patronised me earlier?
19:46I wish my lot had the same get-up-and-go.
19:49That's just Nicola.
19:51And she didn't even mean it like that.
19:53Yeah, but...
19:55People who know where I've come from and know where I've been,
19:57they...they judge me, all right?
20:00Worst, they pity me.
20:02You know, that's bad enough as it is without them knowing the details.
20:04They won't.
20:06I'll tell Dad and Paddy that it's a big secret
20:08and it'll never get mentioned again, I promise.
20:11After everything we've been through together, why...
20:14why would I do that?
20:16I should have trusted you.
20:18Yeah.
20:20But you didn't, all right?
20:21So what does that tell me?
20:23Please, Dylan, all right? I love you so...
20:27I mean...
20:29You can't take it back unless it was a lie.
20:33I do mean it. I just...
20:38I thought you might not.
20:41Of course I love you.
20:43All right? Why else would I feel so let down?
20:48Dylan, I'll do anything, all right?
20:50Then please, just go. I need time to think.
20:57Look, I can't show you the tests because they were done at the hospital, okay?
21:19Mm.
21:21Dead convenient, that.
21:23You do know all this denial and deflection only makes things worse.
21:25I am not deflecting. I'm just sick of this roundabout we're on.
21:28Then show me the results.
21:29Oh, how many more times?
21:31Just one. That's all it takes.
21:34I want a paternity test.
21:36What?
21:37You heard.
21:38And I'm not going to stop until I get one, all right?

22:10We'll give you an adventure.
22:11We'll give you an adventure.
22:12We'll be in the end, and we'll be in the end of this road.
