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