00:00Thank you very much.
00:30Thank you very much.
01:00You're like somebody I dropped off at school this morning.
01:02That's because you did.
01:03So, everything okay?
01:06Yeah.
01:07Just forgot my PE kit.
01:08Really?
01:10Really.
01:11Well, I'll have to start super-gluing it to you then, won't I?
01:14Um, how do we feel about triple pepperoni?
01:16Triple yum.
01:17Good, because I thought we could grab a pizza tonight.
01:19Your dad's out with Leo and Grandma Mary's at yoga.
01:21Er, no can do.
01:23I've got netball practice.
01:25I only found out this morning.
01:27That's why I needed my kit, but I'll be home late, so...
01:29Well, you never told me you'd joined.
01:31I didn't want to jinx it.
01:33Miss Potter's brutal.
01:34She only picks the best of the best.
01:35Now, she's the one with the monobrow, right?
01:36Yeah.
01:37Harry Potter.
01:38That's the one.
01:39Right, well.
01:39You made the cut, so you must be good.
01:41I'm proud of you, kid.
01:42Well, have a good afternoon.
01:44You too.
01:53Does, er, Thomas still like them sweets that make his face go like...
01:56Yeah, but don't get in any.
01:59OK, well, how about...
02:00again, then?
02:02I can't blackmail kids into accepting things.
02:05Well, not all the time, anyway.
02:08Are you nervous?
02:09Well, same as you, probably.
02:10We can stop stressing.
02:12We're the best present Thomas could get,
02:14and he's so lucky to have you adopting him.
02:16I mean, he's not even said yes yet.
02:17Yes, but he will.
02:21Hello, new customer.
02:27What can I get you?
02:27I just need directions.
02:29Oh, no food or drink.
02:30We have a large range of tasty lunchtime items
02:33and hot and cold beverages.
02:35No.
02:36No, thank you.
02:37I should charge for tourist information.
02:39I'm not a tourist.
02:40Really?
02:41Hey.
02:44Hi.
02:44Hi.
02:45You want your lunch?
02:45Er, yeah.
02:47Erm, do you fancy coming to get pizza at mine tonight or something?
02:49Ooh, you are the second person to offer that.
02:52I've already had to say no to Rona,
02:53because I've got netball practice.
02:54Since when did you sign up for netball?
02:56Oh, God, deja vu or what?
02:58If you want details, just go and speak to Rona.
02:59All right, I was just asking.
03:02Is that you?
03:04Er, no.
03:06Must be him.
03:08Erm, I'll text you later.
03:10I'm not even going to buy anything.
03:12Can you please go to the shop at some point today?
03:17We need coffee, we need milk, we need those yoghurt tubes for Harry.
03:20Er, is there anything else?
03:21Right.
03:22Wow.
03:24Riveting chat.
03:26Hey, what's your problem?
03:28Do you mean apart from a meltdown with Myra yesterday?
03:32Oh, yeah, right, sorry.
03:33Erm, you okay?
03:35Oh, it's too late to pretend to care now.
03:38You've barely looked up from that screen.
03:40You waiting for a text off Aaron?
03:41Well, who says it's from him?
03:43Oh, please, who else do you speak to?
03:44You're obsessed.
03:45We've agreed to be friends.
03:47Right, that's all.
03:48Mates.
03:49Yeah, right.
03:50See you later.
03:52I'll, er, cook us tea later, yeah?
03:54We can have a proper talk.
03:56Steak and buy wine.
03:58Lots of wine.
04:12Suggers.
04:16Told you I had a surprise for you.
04:20That good, eh?
04:22Yeah, I just, you, here.
04:25Now.
04:26Well, if this is a bad time, then...
04:29No, no, don't be daft.
04:29Come on, get in.
04:30All right, cheers, but pick your jaw up off the floor first, yeah?
04:34So don't trip over it.
04:38Vinny is so nervous, bless him.
04:40Yeah, I'm sure he is.
04:42Maybe you should be nervous.
04:44Oh, don't.
04:45Okay, all right, all right.
04:47Right, do we need more ketchup?
04:49Yeah.
04:52Look, I'm just gonna say it, okay?
04:54Laurel, can't you just send me some passive-aggressive text later?
04:57I'm not gonna do that, am I?
04:59Look, I know that you're worried that I'm not fully committed to Vinny,
05:03and that if all this goes wrong, Thomas is gonna be the one that suffers.
05:05It's just that you can't give him a dad and then take it away,
05:08because that wouldn't be fun.
05:09I know.
05:09And I know I messed up with that Portuguese guy,
05:13and I know Mum tries to cancel the wedding,
05:15but she was wrong, like you are.
05:18Vinny is the one that I wanna spend the rest of my life with.
05:21I won't be putting Thomas through it if he wasn't.
05:22But it's just...
05:23No buts, Laurel.
05:25Conversation finished.
05:29Right.
05:30Catch up.
05:31Eight will do it, right?
05:33Why don't we go over to that cafe?
05:36Long one, Nicola, is it?
05:38She seems like a bit of a live wire.
05:40Could be a laugh.
05:41What, you been in?
05:41Yeah.
05:43She told me where you were hiding.
05:46What about that pub?
05:48Over the road.
05:50Not a decent pint since about...
05:522002.
05:56Yeah, why don't we just stay here?
05:57We can talk properly without people gawping.
06:00Well, you better have cold ones in the fridge.
06:02Yeah, of course.
06:05Why don't you tell me you're coming?
06:07Well, if you'd answered any of my texts, maybe I would have.
06:12You are happy to see me now, aren't you?
06:14Yeah, of course.
06:20To freedom.
06:21Freedom.
06:31That's better than that muck that brew inside.
06:32I heard that you went back in for a bit on remand.
06:37Yeah.
06:39Shame we didn't cross.
06:43You've been a naughty boy again.
06:45No.
06:46Someone tried to fit me up.
06:49Who?
06:51It's sorted.
06:52Can I ask that?
06:54I asked who?
06:55You don't even know him.
06:56Just give me a name and I'll deal with it.
06:57I just said it's sorted.
06:58You don't need to worry about it.
07:00He's out of my life.
07:02Good.
07:05Good.
07:07Because if he wasn't, he'd be out of his life.
07:13Pregnant life.
07:14Pregnant life.
07:14Hmph.
07:39Why don't you, erm, give Victoria a bell?
07:43I'd love to meet her.
07:45Yeah, she's in town now. She won't be back for ages.
07:47Are you hiding her from me?
07:49No.
07:51Jokes.
07:53You wouldn't die.
07:59So...
08:01Enough catching up.
08:06Have you forgotten where my mouth is?
08:08Uh...
08:18Shall we try that again?
08:26That's all.
08:28I've missed this.
08:38You.
08:40Us.
08:46So, come on then.
08:48What are you waiting for?
08:53Take your husband upstairs.
08:55Not like you.
09:11It's a play hard to get.
09:13I'm not.
09:15It's a coach holder's just foreplay, is it?
09:18Don't be daft.
09:20No one's been sleeping on my side of the bed, have they?
09:23As if.
09:24Look, I've gotta go pick up Harry in a bit.
09:27I can't be late.
09:28And, you know, I need to start something we couldn't finish.
09:32Well, it's probably for the best anyway.
09:35I'll have to shit off as soon as I've had this.
09:39What are you staying?
09:41Still at the palace.
09:44And one day release.
09:46But when you said freedom, I thought you meant for good.
09:49No.
09:50Not quite.
09:53I didn't think they did day release for cases like yours.
09:55No, they don't normally, but...
10:00This isn't standard.
10:03Are you okay?
10:06Come on, what's up?
10:09Look, I've waited till now so I could tell you in person
10:11because I know that it's gonna hit you hard, but...
10:16I've only got months to live.
10:21Six, at the most.
10:24So you've been following me?
10:25Yep.
10:26Creepy.
10:27I knew you were up to something dodgy.
10:29There's no netball and don't act like you ain't got a burner.
10:31I'm not thick.
10:32Stop!
10:34When did this start?
10:36A few days ago.
10:37Can't you tell me?
10:38Because Ray said not to.
10:39And it's the same thing anyway.
10:40There's a massive difference between running and dealing direct, April.
10:44It's still just drop-offs.
10:46It's supply and demand.
10:47But you sound like Ray.
10:48Maybe because he knows what you're talking about.
10:49Oh, yeah?
10:50And what happens when it's not some posh student's outside halls?
10:54What if it's some mad crackhead that'll stab you for the bag?
10:57All right?
10:58Did you think about that?
11:03Sorry, I didn't mean to shout.
11:08Have you got any more jobs?
11:10Just one.
11:11Okay, I'll do this one and we'll get you home and I'll get you out of this, yeah?
11:16No.
11:17No, we need to pay that debt off.
11:19Ray said he'll knock more off if I didn't work like this.
11:21It's not worth it, okay?
11:22I'm not having you dealing direct.
11:24I'll have a word.
11:25But then he'll know that I've told you.
11:27Yeah, he'll be fine.
11:29Ray won't change his mind.
11:30He will for me.
11:31Are you sure about six months?
11:38I've had more tests than a lab rat.
11:42Six months is optimistic.
11:44I could cark it literally any second.
11:48Sorry.
11:49No jokes.
11:51You don't look like...
11:52Like I'm dying.
11:54No, no.
11:55It's one of the perks of the illness.
11:58Anyway...
12:02No more Def Chat.
12:04Okay.
12:05So...
12:07Let's not waste time.
12:12I'm keeping me fingers crossed for more day releases,
12:15but in the meantime, will you visit me?
12:18Every week?
12:19Yeah, of course I will.
12:21That makes me happy.
12:23Anyway, I shall go before they send the sniffer dogs out.
12:30If you don't let go, I can't leave.
12:33I'm just...
12:36I've got it for you.
12:38Well, I've got my head round it.
12:42I just need you to...
12:46Smile.
12:49Make me laugh.
12:50Distract me.
12:53Yeah.
12:56Oh, I'm sorry.
12:57Am I interrupting?
12:58I didn't know you were going to be back so soon.
13:01Clearly.
13:02Victoria.
13:04So nice to finally meet you.
13:06Is it?
13:08Vic, this is...
13:09Kev.
13:10I told you all about, remember?
13:12Yeah.
13:13Kev.
13:14It's really nice to meet you.
13:17Aw.
13:18I'm really sorry, but I've got to go.
13:22I'll let this one fill you in on all the news.
13:26Yeah, I will.
13:27And she'll look forward to meeting you properly next time.
13:29Peace.
13:30And I'll bring something for Harry, too.
13:33Right, so who is for pudding?
13:35Nah, no one here likes chocolate cake, doesn't there?
13:39Nah, nah, he don't, he don't.
13:42I'll get the usual.
13:43Yeah.
13:44So, Thomas, me and Vinny have got something really exciting to tell you.
13:52Yeah.
13:54Okay, so do you know how much I love your mummy, yeah?
13:58Well, I love you just as much.
14:01So, I would like to adopt you and become your proper daddy.
14:05I don't think he understands what adoption means.
14:06Of course not, he's three.
14:07Not a lawyer.
14:08Okay, alright, erm, right.
14:09So, do you know how, erm, er, superheroes work as a team, yeah?
14:22Well, you know, you, mummy and me, we're a team already, aren't we?
14:25But, adoption gives us extra superpowers.
14:32Makes us stronger.
14:34Poo-poo power!
14:35Poo-poo power!
14:37I mean, that is the best power of all, innit?
14:39Can't it be something like flying or invisibility?
14:42If that's what Thomas wants, that's what we've got.
14:46Alright, poo power to us then.
14:48Poo-poo!
14:49Exactly!
14:50Oh, no, no, I think you might actually need the toilet.
14:52Oh.
14:53No, you finish your drinks, I'll take him, love.
14:55Come on, sweetheart.
14:56Let's go.
14:57Let's go.
14:59Poo-poo!
15:04So, how do you think that went?
15:06Yeah, good.
15:07Really good.
15:08You don't think we've made the wrong decision, do you?
15:11Are you regretting it?
15:12No.
15:13No, why would I be?
15:14Well, you're talking as if you are.
15:15No, I'm just looking for reassurance, that's all.
15:18Right, no, sorry, sorry, yeah, I'm just being, I'm being stupid.
15:21I know you are.
15:23What's up with you?
15:24Nothing, I just think it's, you know, the stress of today, that's all.
15:28Sorry.
15:29Alright, okay, well, erm, put your face straight before Thomas gets back, yeah?
15:36Your husband!
15:37Seriously though, what the actual hell?
15:39I had no idea he was coming today, I thought he was still inside.
15:42What, like he's escaped?
15:44No, he's on day release.
15:46Well, what's him for?
15:48Armed robbery.
15:49Great.
15:50So just guns and violence, well I can't wait for Harry to meet cuddly Uncle Kev, the armed robber.
15:54He came here to tell me that he's only got a few months left to live.
15:58Where were you going?
15:59To escape this parallel universe that I'm in.
16:02I know it's a lot to take in.
16:04It's madness, is what it is, it doesn't make any sense.
16:06He saved my life, Vic. Literally.
16:09How?
16:10You know I wouldn't let anyone visit me.
16:13I know you had a tough time, yeah.
16:16The punches, the names, the laughing, that's the kicking my head in, just for being me.
16:22What, for being bi?
16:24That, and apparently I'm posh too.
16:27It was a great mix.
16:29It became normal.
16:31God.
16:34But, Kev stopped them.
16:39And, let's just say they came off worse.
16:43It was in solitary for ages, for me.
16:46I was grateful.
16:48But I still don't get how you ended up married.
16:52What, not even if someone offers you protection, safety, sleep?
16:56Married, though?
16:57Wouldn't that just meet your mates?
16:59I was going to be inside there for 14 years, Vic.
17:0214 years.
17:05You have to start a new life in there, otherwise you lose your mind.
17:11I just want to use pining for the outside, because that's never going to happen.
17:14Kev sorting those guys out, it allowed me to start that new life.
17:20I owe him, Vic.
17:23I owe him my life.
17:26Hi, erm, I've got a message to call. The prosecution barrister handling Graham Connolly's trial.
17:32Yeah, it's, it's, it's, erm, it's Finney.
17:34Sorry, sorry, erm, Vincent, Vincent Dingle.
17:40Yeah, I, I, erm, I confirmed my attendance.
17:46Court three, Thursday.
17:5011.30, I'll be there.
17:53Okay, thank you.
17:54Bye, bye.
17:57I'm proud of you, bro.
18:01I'm not proud of myself.
18:03Listen, it'll all be fine.
18:05Will it?
18:07Oh, Thomas hugged me so tight today, we're so chuffed about the adoption.
18:12I mean, how can I go sit in a courtroom knowing that I could just ruin everything?
18:15You're doing this for them.
18:18You're showing Thomas his dad's a stand-up guy.
18:22Honest. Good.
18:24The world's going to be a better place without scum like him.
18:26Look, I get that, right, but it just, it doesn't feel like a win.
18:31Knowing that I might lose everything that actually, you know, really matters to me.
18:35I've got your back.
18:38Whatever happens, you ain't doing this alone.
18:41Thanks, Cammie.
18:44Thanks for letting me get changed.
18:46No worries.
18:48And, erm, thanks for doing that last job for me.
18:51Yeah, it's cool.
18:53Right, I need to go.
18:54When will you speak to Rhea?
18:56Er, tomorrow. I'll let you know.
18:58Right, you're gonna have to come up with a story why you can't do netball any more, alright?
19:02What, I am definitely, then?
19:03Yeah, I promise.
19:04Okay.
19:05See you later.
19:08Hey, love.
19:10I thought you'd still be at netball practice.
19:12Er, no. Harry Potter's kid was ill also a bit, so we had to go.
19:16Right, well, shall I see if we can still go for that pizza?
19:19It saves me getting a meal for one.
19:20Sure.
19:21Brilliant.
19:22Well, let's get changed and go and stuff our faces with carbs.
19:25Erm, I don't think I'm gonna carry on with netball.
19:29Oh. How come?
19:31Just prefer to be at home.
19:33Well, for that, you get dough balls as well. Come on.
19:37Hmm.
19:41Don't say I never do anything for you.
19:44Right.
19:46I need you to be honest with me.
19:49How much more honest can I be?
19:50Are you in love with Aaron?
19:53Yeah, I'm in love with him.
19:54Right, so you need to divorce this Kev.
19:57The sooner the better.
19:58I'm assuming it's, like, official.
20:00Yeah, it's a proper marriage, but there's no need to divorce him.
20:03You can't hang on for him to die.
20:06Can you?
20:07And you've only got his word that it's six months.
20:09Yeah, but it's not just that.
20:10Like...
20:13Kev has a lot of money.
20:16And?
20:18Well, if I stay married to him, then I'll inherit it.
20:22And it's a lot of money.
20:23Right, so he's happy to leave you all his money.
20:28As long as you, what, hold his hand until he dies?
20:31Yeah, it's what he wants.
20:33Come off it!
20:35You're prostituting yourself to one of the Kray twins
20:37just so you can get your hands on his millions.
20:39It's not millions, and it's not all about the cash.
20:42It's more complex than that.
20:43Don't act like this is some noble sacrifice.
20:46And I'm assuming Aaron has no idea, either.
20:49No, no, and please, don't tell him.
20:52Robert, what is wrong with you?
20:54You're trying to outdo John for the title of family nutter.
20:57Hey, I'm nothing like him.
20:59I actually thought we'd move forward after John and things would get better.
21:03But no, here you are, dragging me and poor Aaron into your mess.
21:07It's disgusting you asking me to keep your dirty secret
21:10while you play sugar baby to a dying gangster!
21:12Stop!
21:13Hey, Vic, where are you going?
21:15I'm going to pick Harry up, and then I'm taking him to his friend's party.
21:18Like people do in real life.
21:20A life where you don't bring death and danger to your family's doorstep.
21:23I'll sort it. I promise. Just please, please don't tell Aaron.
21:28Okay. I won't. Because you should.
21:32But if you don't, I swear, Robert, I'll tell him myself.
21:35And when I do, you will lose him.
21:37And any future you thought you might have had together.
