00:00Right.
00:30Let me do all the talking when they get here, yeah?
00:32Okay.
00:33Because I know Kim and I know what she's like.
00:35Stop stressing.
00:36Not stressing.
00:38Oh, I'll get it.
00:41Oh, it's you.
00:43Ah, well, don't sound too excited.
00:45Right, flowers.
00:47Oh, the vase is underneath the sink.
00:49Something occurring?
00:50Yeah, we're telling Kim and my mum about me adopting Thomas.
00:53Oh, nice one.
00:55So, er, what can I do you for?
01:00Listen.
01:02I'm sorry about yesterday.
01:05Hour out of line.
01:07You've got to do what you want to do, bro.
01:09It's none of my business.
01:09It's fine.
01:11Right, I'm off for a wee.
01:16Having said that, though, I still don't get it.
01:19Okay, so you question your sexuality.
01:21So what?
01:22You're not the first bloke to do it.
01:24And you won't be the last.
01:26Pretty normal, no?
01:27Yeah, but you don't know Gabby.
01:28She'll freak.
01:29You see, the last bloke she was going to marry, stood her up at the altar.
01:32And guess why?
01:33Because he was gay.
01:34Plus, her mum's married a couple of blokes, you know, who are gay.
01:36So it's just, it's a theme in the family.
01:39Oh.
01:39So I think all in all, right, we just need to forget about it all, yeah?
01:43I have.
01:43I've left him a dozen messages, but you know what Cain's like?
01:47Just hope he's okay and he's not locked in some French prison.
01:52Ah, Chas, I better go.
01:53Paddy's here.
01:54But listen, if I hear anything, I will let you know, okay?
01:57You take care.
01:58Bye.
02:00Paddy, what do I owe you?
02:02Oh, no, it's all right.
02:03It took five minutes.
02:04Are you sure?
02:05Yeah.
02:06Well, thanks.
02:08Erm, I hear it's Gracie's birthday today.
02:12Yeah, she would have been seven.
02:13Oh.
02:14Me and Chas are going to take her a present later.
02:16It's a bit of a tradition that we do every year.
02:17Yeah, it's nice.
02:18Ellie, me.
02:21Oh, I, er, didn't realise you had company.
02:25Not to worry.
02:26This is Paddy, but I think you've already met.
02:29Yes.
02:29Yes, we have, actually.
02:31A meeting I'm probably never going to forget.
02:34Nor me.
02:35Ruff!
02:35Ha, ha, gotcha.
02:39That was meant to be a joke.
02:41Sorry.
02:42I better go.
02:42Okay, er, but thanks again, Paddy.
02:48What did you do that for?
02:49I don't know.
02:50I was just trying to lighten the atmosphere.
02:52You know that dog attack really affected him.
02:54I said I was sorry.
02:56And I am.
02:56Yes, well, I think you need to apologise to him.
02:59Really?
02:59Yes.
03:00Because from what I could see, it looked like you were gloating.
03:03Paddy is my vet, Celia.
03:06Auntie is family.
03:07So if we're going to do business together, then you and him need to get on.
03:10Okay.
03:11Right.
03:13Then I will sort this.
03:16Right.
03:17What time is it now, then?
03:17Er, five past twelve.
03:19Well, doesn't she know it's rude to be late?
03:21Actually, do you know what?
03:21Don't answer that.
03:22Of course she does.
03:23She just don't care.
03:24Right, shall I give her a ring?
03:25Well, it's either that or I'm going to have to go, love, because I've got a client at one.
03:29I'll get it.
03:32Present.
03:33No, why'd you stay that for?
03:36Hi.
03:36Hi.
03:37Sorry, massive problems with our biggest client, which means I can't stay very long.
03:43Hi.
03:44Er, so, er, let's get on with it, shall we?
03:47Mm-hmm.
03:47Some of us have been here half an hour already.
03:49Yeah, well, we wanted to tell you both together.
03:51Well, I'm here now.
03:54Although, to be frank, a phone call would have been preferable.
03:56Shall I make us some coffee?
03:58What for?
03:58We've already had two.
03:59I'm well, Quaggy.
04:00I told you.
04:02Pushing for time.
04:03So, why have we been summoned?
04:05You're not getting divorced already, are you?
04:08No, no, no.
04:09Erm, this is about Thomas.
04:11Oh, what's happened to him?
04:13Nothing.
04:14It's a good thing.
04:15Oh, thank God for that.
04:17Erm, Vinny is going to adopt him.
04:21Oh, good God, you're made of fire!
04:24Oh, I'm made of fire!
04:26Over my dead body.
04:28Sorry?
04:29You heard me.
04:33Hey, making a brew.
04:34Do you want one?
04:35No time.
04:36I'm going to head out for a bit, get some fresh air.
04:38Just take it easy, okay?
04:43Who's the flowers for?
04:44For Grace.
04:45It's her birthday.
04:47Me and Paddy are going up to her grave in a bit.
04:49Mum, I'm so sorry, I completely forgot.
04:53Hey, it's okay.
04:55You've had enough on.
04:58Er, talking of which, can me and you have a little chat?
05:01If it's going to be about John, then...
05:02It's not about John.
05:04It's about me and you.
05:04Look, I know you've been avoiding me since the other day when I decided to have a word with Robert.
05:17Because you're out of order.
05:18Yes, I know, and I'm sorry.
05:20I'm worried about you, love.
05:21And before you tell me not to be, I can't help it, okay?
05:25I am your mum.
05:26I've already lost one child.
05:29And I almost lost another one.
05:30You.
05:32So if I'm being overprotective, that is why.
05:34I'm a big boy though, mum.
05:36I can look after myself.
05:37Yes, I know you can.
05:38And it is your life.
05:39And yes, you are right.
05:41You should get to live it the way you want to.
05:43I mean, heaven knows I always have.
05:45Exactly.
05:48So are we okay?
05:50Of course we are.
05:51Just be careful.
05:54Having said that,
05:56whatever you and Robert want to do, it's fine with me.
06:01You want to get to live once.
06:03And you mean that?
06:04Yeah.
06:04Wow.
06:06Okay.
06:09You can't just write Jamie off like he doesn't exist.
06:13I mean, he's not dead.
06:14Well, he might as well be.
06:15We never see him.
06:16However, he is still his father.
06:18He has a legal right to have a say in all of this.
06:21Not according to my solicitor, he doesn't.
06:22Excuse me?
06:23Kim, he went on the run three years ago.
06:26He's officially an absentee parent, so we don't need his consent.
06:29You've been to see a solicitor?
06:30Yeah.
06:31Okay, well, maybe I should have told you that before,
06:33but I just thought you'd be pleased.
06:35How could you possibly think that?
06:38Thomas is my only biological grandson.
06:41He means everything to me.
06:42Yeah, and Vinny adopting him isn't going to change that.
06:45You're still going to be his grandmother.
06:46Actually, sorry.
06:47Can I say something, please?
06:50Please, go ahead.
06:51Well, okay, so...
06:52Vinny's not my son.
06:55I mean, not biologically, anyway,
06:57but in every other way, he is.
06:59He's my son.
07:00I love him.
07:02Mandy, I understand all that.
07:06However...
07:07Look, Kim, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you there.
07:11No, it's fine.
07:12You carry on.
07:14Okay, well, I'm not sure I need to say all this, but I will.
07:17I love Thomas.
07:20I mean, how couldn't I have known him since he was a baby?
07:22Well, since he was born.
07:25He's godfather.
07:27And you know what?
07:28He's funny and bright and he seems to like me.
07:31Well, I mean, he laughs at all my jokes, but...
07:35No, Kim, look.
07:35I want to be the father to Thomas that I never had.
07:40And I promise you,
07:41I will do everything in my power to be the bestest dad ever.
07:45He is really great with him, Kim.
07:53Okay.
07:56Okay, as in...
07:58It's fine.
08:00Really?
08:00Yes.
08:03I never meant to hurt you, Kim.
08:05Gabby,
08:08you have my blessing.
08:10Both of you do.
08:16It was way past ten when you got home last night.
08:19And don't say it wasn't, because you woke me up.
08:21In fact, you woke up the entire house.
08:24Took the ages to get Ivy back off to sleep.
08:25Okay, and I'm sorry.
08:27Where were you, anyway?
08:28Just hanging out with a couple of the girls from netball.
08:31Oh, our angels thinking of taking up netball.
08:34Or was it volleyball?
08:36Coffs, take away, please, Jimmy.
08:37Got me right up.
08:39Right, I need to go.
08:41You've only just got here.
08:42Yeah, but I've just remembered that I've got a meeting with a teacher from school in half an hour.
08:46Right, well, please don't be late home again tonight, April.
08:48Something's off with her.
08:51What do you mean?
08:52I'm not sure, but it doesn't feel right.
08:54I've just been to the vet.
08:55Sorry, I only popped out for a minute.
08:57If you come with me now, I'll open up.
08:58No, actually, it's Paddy I need to speak to.
09:02Okay, right.
09:03Well, in that case, I'll leave you to it.
09:04Just call me if you need me.
09:06What was it you want, Celia?
09:12I have come to say sorry about earlier.
09:18I have a weird sense of humour.
09:20Although, to be fair, I was just trying to lighten the atmosphere.
09:24I know, I know.
09:25It went down like a lead balloon.
09:27Well, I might have overreacted a little bit.
09:29No, you didn't.
09:30Of course you didn't.
09:31I should have come and spoken to you earlier.
09:33It's too late.
09:34And I didn't.
09:34And I...
09:36Please, forgive me.
09:42No lasting damage done anyway, was there?
09:44Thankfully.
09:47So I hope that we can be friends.
09:52Yeah.
09:53All right, then me too.
09:56Oh!
10:01Cheers.
10:04Well done.
10:04We make such a good team.
10:07Um, you're going to be a dad.
10:09I know, I can't believe it.
10:11Pity Kim and Mandy had to get off so soon, but more for us, hey?
10:18Hi.
10:19Uh, yeah, Gabby speaking.
10:22Oh, yeah, thanks for getting back to me.
10:24Is...
10:25Tomorrow?
10:27Yeah, um, hey, what are you doing tomorrow?
10:29Uh, why?
10:30Oh, it doesn't matter why, are you free?
10:32Well, to do what?
10:33Oh, what are you like?
10:34Just tell me.
10:36I'm arranging a photo shoot for me, you and Thomas to celebrate the adoption.
10:40And he can do tomorrow, so...
10:42Yeah, I'm not.
10:42I, um, I can't because I'm, I'm, I'm working.
10:47Um, hi.
10:48Yeah, um, can I call you back?
10:51All right.
10:52Bye, bye.
10:54Why'd you go all weird on me?
10:56I didn't.
10:56Yes, you did.
10:57Yeah, well, because I've, I've got a lot on.
10:59You know, Aaron's still off, so I can't even be thinking about a photo shoot.
11:02There you go again, getting uptight.
11:04Right, you know what, I'm going back to it.
11:06Hmm.
11:07See ya.
11:10He will make a fantastic dad.
11:12And I've got everything crossed.
11:14He's gonna have one of his own thing.
11:16Proper little family man, then.
11:17Oh, you couldn't wish to meet a nicer lad.
11:20And you said you've only just got married?
11:22Oh, yeah, a couple of weeks back.
11:23Oh, no expense spared, mind.
11:24I mean, not from me, obviously.
11:26It's, um, Kim Tate.
11:27Might have heard of her.
11:28Who hasn't?
11:29Hung farm lady.
11:30That's the one.
11:30Was she?
11:31She's Thomas' grandma.
11:33I'm gonna be ob-nobbing my royalty next.
11:36Well, I must say, it's a lovely little set-up you've got here.
11:39Oh, thanks, mate.
11:40You know, you can come again.
11:42That's nice to know.
11:44Because I'm thinking I'm becoming a regular.
11:45Oh, is that your lad and his wife, then?
11:59Oh, yeah, yeah.
12:00That's him.
12:01Oh.
12:02She looks like a nice girl.
12:03Oh, she is.
12:04And she is loaded.
12:06I mean, if you see her, don't say how.
12:08And I'm assuming my little lad is Thomas.
12:10Yeah, that's him.
12:11My new grandson.
12:12Oh, we were just talking about you.
12:17About the adoption and the wedding.
12:19I better build him stiff.
12:20Don't be daft.
12:22Oh, congratulations, mate.
12:24Nothing I like more than a happy ending.
12:26Oh, you.
12:27You are a sweetheart.
12:28Oh, excuse me.
12:29I need to take this.
12:30Hello, Pumpermanda.
12:33Oh, hi, Jill.
12:35Are you here yet?
12:36Yeah, I can do your brows later.
12:37See how easy that was?
12:39No, I'm free.
12:40We need to talk.
12:42Only me.
12:44Hiya.
12:45Hey.
12:46Had to go with Kim, then.
12:48Oh, she was fine.
12:49Eventually.
12:51Vinny's the one that I'm worried about.
12:53He's been acting so weird.
12:55How do you mean?
12:57I don't know.
12:57Maybe it's me being odd with him.
12:59You know, because of what happened in Portugal.
13:01Do you think he knows?
13:03Well, he can't do it.
13:04Unless he suspects something.
13:06Well, this is a problem when people keep secrets.
13:08Okay, well, I can't tell him now, Laurel.
13:10It's going to ruin everything.
13:10It's probably an innocent explanation why he's being a bit awful.
13:13What, like what?
13:15Well, I don't know.
13:16Um, work, Mandy.
13:17It could be anything.
13:20Might be about that court case that he's dropped.
13:22What court case?
13:23Look, I told the prosecution I'm not going to testify,
13:26so what more do you want?
13:27Compensation.
13:28Do you know?
13:34I've forgotten how nice it was in here.
13:36I want you to leave.
13:38What?
13:39Frightened your wife will come back?
13:42Thought so.
13:42Therefore, the sooner we come to an agreement,
13:46the sooner I'll be leaving.
13:47You thought I've got no more money?
13:48Well, but your wife has.
13:52So pay up.
13:53Because if you hadn't been blabbing to the police,
13:57none of this would be happening, would it?
14:02Therefore,
14:03I want
14:04a nice
14:05water cash waiting for us when I get out.
14:08Because I'm not going to have a job waiting for me,
14:10am I?
14:12My life as I once knew me is over.
14:13So, like I say,
14:17I
14:18want
14:19compensating.
14:22What if I make it all go away?
14:26And how are you going to do that, eh?
14:28You're a bit like Harry Potter on the sly, are you?
14:30You've got some magic powers.
14:32I'll call the prosecutor now, right,
14:33and tell him I've changed my mind.
14:36And that I will testify.
14:37And, you know, when I get on the stand,
14:39I'll just
14:39mess it up, you know?
14:42I'll contradict myself over and over again
14:44and make it appear that I'm lying.
14:45And then, that way, you know,
14:47you're bound to get off, aren't you?
14:49Look,
14:51I swear to God,
14:52I want you out of my life,
14:53but for good this time.
14:56And if you are sent down in the future,
14:57you'll get released and you'll come and find me.
14:59And I...
15:00I just want this to be over.
15:11Let's do it.
15:12But you have to promise me, okay?
15:14Promise me
15:14that you'll keep Gabby out of this, yeah?
15:25Done.
15:32How you doing?
15:33Good.
15:35I had a chat with my mum this morning.
15:37Oh.
15:38Singing my praises, was she?
15:39She didn't quite go that far.
15:42Really?
15:42I'm intrigued, but what's she say?
15:45She just said that
15:46if I want to be with you, then
15:48that's up to me.
15:50I mean, she didn't
15:51exactly word it like that,
15:52but that's what she meant.
15:55She's backing off.
15:55Right.
15:59So...
15:59Come on.
16:01I thought we said we were going to
16:05take it slow.
16:06But why, though?
16:06Why should we have to do that?
16:09I know you're trying to look after me
16:10and you think that I need time and space
16:12to process everything that's gone on,
16:14but I don't.
16:15I know what I want, Robert.
16:18And it's you.
16:20I want you.
16:21You OK?
16:27Yeah.
16:28Why?
16:30You don't seem it.
16:34What's going on, Vinny?
16:37Nothing.
16:39Yes, there is.
16:41Why were you so weird with me earlier?
16:45Have I done something wrong?
16:46No.
16:47Are you sure?
16:47Yes.
16:48Yes.
16:51Is this because of the court case?
16:53Do you regret not going to testify?
16:55Is that it?
16:56Because if it is, you can just...
16:57Of course it isn't.
16:59Why are you getting angry?
17:00I'm not.
17:01Yes, you are.
17:01We just leave it, Gabby!
17:04Do it in my head, Dean!
17:18Everything go OK?
17:19Yeah.
17:21So why the long face?
17:25It's Rona.
17:26She's getting suspicious.
17:29About what?
17:30Me.
17:31Coming in late last night.
17:33Not being around.
17:34I keep lying to her.
17:37So part and parcel of the job?
17:39It does stop me feeling bad about it.
17:41And there's only so many more days that I can tell the school I'm studying at home before
17:45they start to get funny.
17:47I thought girls your age were good at lying.
17:50Not when it comes to stuff like this.
17:53Look, if you're getting uneasy...
17:54I'm not.
17:56Let me finish.
17:58What I was about to say was you're no good to me if you're getting the jitters.
18:01And there's no need to anyway.
18:03Because I would never let anything bad happen to you.
18:06Ever.
18:07Because you are my little firecracker.
18:10Yes, you are.
18:12Come on, that's better.
18:15So, um, why don't you take a couple of these?
18:18Just take the jitters off.
18:21I don't do drugs, you know that.
18:23Well, go on.
18:24Have a little nibble.
18:25Put them down.
18:29Just want to get rid of them now, Brett.
18:44What are we waiting for, Robert?
18:49Look, we can...
18:51We can take it slow.
18:53If you want.
18:55And if I need help or I need someone to talk to them, I'll tell you and we can sort it out together.
19:04But life's so short.
19:07I'm just thinking about Grace and my gran.
19:14And Liv.
19:16They're all gone.
19:19So why are we wasting time when we both know what we want?
19:24I want you.
19:25And I know you want to be with me as well.
19:32Robert, you make me so happy.
19:36So please...
19:38Let's just be together.
19:40I want everyone looking at us.
19:54Yeah.
19:54Yeah.
19:54Yeah, but let's just keep it to ourselves for the time being.
20:02We don't want everyone looking at us.
20:05Okay, fine.
20:07I don't really care what anyone else thinks, but...
20:09Yeah, look, I've got to sort something out now.
20:13So, er...
20:13So, er...
20:16Is it okay?
20:18Yeah, it's just a business thing.
20:19Wait, it's that scumbag on.
20:29But how are you going to do it, though?
20:32Get on that stand and virtually help him to walk free.
20:35That's what I said I'm going to do.
20:37Yeah, but you can't, man.
20:40Because he'll do it again.
20:41He'll target other blokes, beat him up, ask him for money.
20:46Look...
20:47I'm not trying to pressure you, okay?
20:49But you've got to stand up to him.
20:51And I am going to.
20:53Really?
20:55They promised to keep Gabby's name out of it, so...
20:58She won't get called as a witness here.
20:59In fact, she won't know about anything.
21:04So, what's the plan?
21:06Just keep it simple and tell the truth.
21:08Yeah?
21:09About everything.
21:12Good on you, man.
21:14Bit nervous, though.
21:15Listen.
21:17You're a hero.
21:19Bring on tomorrow.
21:22Bring it up.
