00:00Thank you very much.
00:30I'm gonna get straight off today.
00:40So busy.
00:41Is that why that phone's been pinging all morning?
00:44Yeah.
00:45Farm stuff.
00:48I-I think we said that's a no-go.
00:55I've got nothing to do.
00:57Well, I've organised school work for you to do till you go back, so, well...
01:01The police say they're not gonna take things any further.
01:04Seriously?
01:05Oh, thank God for that.
01:06We'll school tomorrow, then.
01:07Today, I'm gonna take him in in a bit, and I hope you've learnt your lesson.
01:10I said I was sorry.
01:12Yeah, erm, meantime, I need a word.
01:15Oh.
01:16Okay.
01:21So, er...
01:24I had a search through your phone.
01:26What?
01:27Well, don't worry, you're not in any trouble, but...
01:29Carl.
01:30You shouldn't be looking at stuff like that, even if it just appears.
01:34Everyone else does.
01:36Well, it doesn't mean you have to.
01:38If you ever find yourself wondering if you should be seeing something, if it doesn't feel
01:43quite right, come and talk to us, okay?
01:46I guess.
01:47We need you to help us keep you safe, yeah?
01:52Yes.
01:57We are so gonna review the parental controls on that phone.
02:02You thought you already had?
02:03Well, I'm doing it again.
02:05I'll make sure his apps are so family-paired that we'll get warnings if he's seen pictures
02:09of kittens playing with string.
02:11Binge use.
02:14Grandad, have you seen my school bag?
02:20Er...
02:21By the counter, love.
02:22Okay.
02:23Is everything okay?
02:25Yeah.
02:26Why?
02:27Well, I thought I heard you in your room when I got back yesterday.
02:30I meant to see how your day had gone.
02:32By the time I was free, the light was off.
02:35Now, I don't know if you ate.
02:37Of course I did, yeah.
02:38So I was good in the hood?
02:40Morning.
02:41The very person.
02:42I, er...
02:44I need to get going.
02:45I'm running later.
02:46Well, I thought I could give you a lift in if you want to.
02:48I'm alright, thank you.
02:49Honestly, it's no trouble.
02:50I don't want a lift, Dad.
02:51Well, that was, er...
02:52That was edifying.
02:53Teenagers.
02:54At least she managed hello.
02:55She's actually talking to Rona.
02:56Like, as in conversing.
02:57Their tupper might be included.
02:58I'm sure she's fine.
02:59I mean, she's been pulling away to her.
03:00Helping out and that.
03:01You know, between the ages of 13 and 20, you don't expect them to actually talk.
03:05Just wanted to check in on Bob, make sure she was okay.
03:08Well, look, if you're really worried, maybe have a word with Dylan.
03:11Because if anybody knows anything, it'll be in.
03:12Good morning.
03:13Good morning, then.
03:14Kev!
03:15Probably should have called first.
03:16I did not expect them to actually talk.
03:18I just wanted to check in her and Bob, make sure she was okay.
03:22Well, if you're really worried, maybe have a word with Dylan.
03:25Because if anybody knows anything, it'll be him.
03:34Good morning, then.
03:35Kev!
03:37I probably should have called first.
03:39No, don't be daft.
03:41I did tell him you had an early start at the farm.
03:43I kept trying to call you, though.
03:44Yeah, it's all a bit mad up there at the moment.
03:46It's all right, we've been having a nice chat.
03:48She's looking really well, isn't she?
03:50She is, see?
03:51Shouldn't I be?
03:52After the brain operation?
03:54He's been telling me how he's been looking after you,
03:56how you've been recording and that.
03:57This is why I've barely been in touch with Kev.
03:59Got to look after my little sister, right?
04:01So, you literally, you got out and you came straight here.
04:05Wow.
04:06Couldn't wait.
04:08I've arranged to meet Charles in the cafe.
04:11Great.
04:12Yeah, Kev's been telling me all about how he met Charles
04:14through the outreach programme
04:15and that's who he'll be staying with in the village.
04:17Did I not mention that?
04:18You did not.
04:19Well, shall we head over to the cafe, then?
04:21Yeah, is it all right if I just use your bog first, though?
04:24Of course it is, yeah.
04:25You know where it is.
04:30Okay, so, first thing.
04:32Operation.
04:33Yeah, brain operation, yeah.
04:34You're not serious?
04:35Well, when I was getting out, I needed to come up with an excuse
04:37why I was being released early.
04:39Okay, so I will Google brain operations.
04:41That'll be that covered.
04:42Second lie.
04:43Yeah, I will speak to Aaron as soon as I can.
04:45Well, you'd better get a rush on.
04:46He's moving in with Charles and Claudette.
04:48It's not my fault.
04:49I would have found him somewhere outside the village
04:50but he'd already spoken to Charles.
04:51Well, look, Robert, and I cannot believe I'm saying this sentence,
04:54but you need to tell your boyfriend about your terminally ill husband
04:58before he moves in with the vicar.
05:08Hey.
05:09All right?
05:11So, um...
05:13I hear it didn't go too well yesterday.
05:16I'm sorry.
05:17Easy, easy.
05:18It's okay.
05:20Mum said she'd spoken to you.
05:23Yeah, how come you never mentioned that she was your mum?
05:26I don't know.
05:27We don't make a big deal of it.
05:29Mainly because she doesn't want people to think she plays favourites.
05:32We all get treated equal.
05:35Especially when we screw up.
05:38Yeah, that guy, Tim, was he mad?
05:40I'll sort it.
05:41Don't worry.
05:43Look, I know mum can be a bit, um...
05:46hard about things.
05:47That's why I wanted to have a word as well.
05:50I just want you to know...
05:52it's all good.
05:54How can it be?
05:55Because you want to do what's best for everyone.
05:59So...
06:01when the next time comes, be it with, um...
06:05Tim...
06:07or whoever...
06:10you're gonna make that extra special effort.
06:12Yeah?
06:13Yeah, we were just wondering if you could, er, pop that up.
06:19Prostate checks.
06:21You'd be surprised how many men avoid it.
06:23Right?
06:25Liam was having some kind of, well, problems.
06:28And I persuaded him to do something about it.
06:30I mean, it turns out he's fine.
06:32And whatever's causing his symptoms, it isn't cancer.
06:34Thank the good lord.
06:35And I'm sure Liam's grateful that he shared that.
06:38I'm proud of him for dealing with it.
06:39You got a problem?
06:41Course not.
06:43You best get on with putting it up.
06:45Guessing I've said yes, then.
06:51Hi.
06:52You remember Charles?
06:55Yeah, mate. You all right?
06:57Aye, Kev.
06:58Good to see you again.
06:59You two know each other?
07:01Just threw him inside, yeah.
07:03Well, I suppose you'll want him back at yours, won't you?
07:05Get him settled in.
07:06This our house guest?
07:08Kev, me and my mum, Claudette.
07:10Look, thank you. It's taken me in.
07:12Glad to have you.
07:13But to be clear, I know ex-cons of old and I'll brook no nonsense.
07:16Look, Mum!
07:17Just letting him know where I stand.
07:19In the meantime, I'll be needing to go through the house rules with you at some point.
07:23Won't I drop in this, though, first?
07:25Yeah.
07:26Let's lead the way.
07:29Get us one of them weird copies in there.
07:32I'll be well when I drop this in.
07:38So, a little friend of yours.
07:41Something like that, yeah.
07:45Yeah, all right, thank you.
07:46Bye.
07:49Oh, that was the school. They want to know when Clemmie's coming back.
07:52I presume you told them that we're still deciding?
07:55Well, what else can we do when she's in a state like this?
07:58And you told her that the police weren't going to take things any further?
08:02Yeah, but not that Carl is already back, which is what the head just told me.
08:06What?
08:08Hey.
08:10So Carl gets to go back, but I can't?
08:13Well, er, to be fair, you can go back whenever you want.
08:17But, if I leave and go to Bassett Green, there's less chance of kids seeing the photo.
08:21OK, well, we can set up a meeting if that's what you want.
08:25I didn't want any of this.
08:27This is such a mess.
08:30She's right. This is going to follow her around forever. I mean, while Carl just gets to move on like nothing ever happened.
08:36I hope Carl doesn't have a hard time. He's definitely not going to be popular with Clemmie's friends.
08:47He'll probably get the mick taken for a bit, but he'll survive.
08:50Robert's new mate's back.
08:52I take it you two have met?
08:54You have?
08:56Oh, maybe you haven't. This is Aaron.
08:58Oh, I know who Aaron is.
09:00Why are you here?
09:02Aaron, this is Kev, yeah?
09:05He's Robert's new friend.
09:07I've looked at all about you.
09:08I'm a bit late for introductions.
09:27Saving a job there, Nicola.
09:29Oh, it's a pleasure.
09:31I recognise you from your photo.
09:34We were cellmates.
09:36Right.
09:37Nice to meet you.
09:41It's Vinny. Hang on.
09:43Hi, Vin.
09:45No, I told you it was supposed to be Wednesday.
09:52So, mates?
09:54Yeah, er...
09:56Come and go to Charles's. I can explain better in private.
10:08Sorry about the smell. I've had a breakfast disaster.
10:11That was supposed to be a pancake and someone has showed me how to make them, to be fair.
10:15Erm, but you know, practice makes perfect.
10:18Yeah.
10:19But yeah, that's me, learning to cook and that, which I'm sure you want to know all about, but erm...
10:26Right, yeah, why am I here? Er...
10:29OK.
10:31April.
10:33Is she OK? I haven't seen her today.
10:36I guess so.
10:38But I can't tell if she's OK. I mean, I did ask earlier, but her answer wasn't too...
10:44...too forthcoming.
10:46Look, how about I put Kettle on and, you know, you can tell me what's bothering you and that.
10:51Yeah?
10:53Nothing to lose, have you?
10:56Why not?
10:58I, er, I just, er...
11:02I can't seem to get through to her.
11:05You know, she's still getting a handle and everything.
11:08Normal life and school and all that, so...
11:10Yeah, no, no, yeah, I get all that. I get all that.
11:13It's just that I've...
11:15After the ecstasy pills and Leo, and her moving in with Bob, I just thought...
11:20...I hoped...
11:22...things had calmed down.
11:24Yeah, and they have.
11:27She was so distant with me this morning, I mean, she could barely even look at me.
11:32And I don't know what to do about it anymore.
11:35Look, she knows you're there for her and that, and she's settled that Bob's alright, she ain't going anywhere.
11:39I reckon just, just give her time and, I don't know, don't, don't give up on her.
11:45But in the meantime, I think you need a distraction, Marlon, cos you are over thinking it.
11:50Fancy making some pancakes?
11:53One poster in the cafe isn't going to cut it.
12:00Well, let's see how we get on, shall we?
12:05You want to really publicise it? We should certainly be using the practice website. I mean, it's important.
12:11Claudette, you are quite, er, forgive me, evangelical about all this.
12:15I have my reasons.
12:22I lost a brother to prostate cancer.
12:25Oh.
12:27I'm so sorry.
12:29Yes, well, all a long time ago now.
12:32I can't believe you didn't mention it, especially with any banging on about it.
12:36He didn't make it, Liam. It's the last thing you needed to hear.
12:41And he was like you.
12:43Symptoms persisting.
12:45Him saying he'd sort it when he had a moment.
12:47Was he aware that black men are at higher risk? Something like, er, one in four?
12:51Oh, yeah. He knew.
12:53But he was a man's man. Macho.
12:56And you can't say, just grow up to some.
12:58Well, you pretty much did to me, and I'm very grateful.
13:04Good. Now, off you go to work before we all start getting sentimental.
13:09Yes, quite right. OK, I'll see you later.
13:14Ah, just in time.
13:16House rules.
13:18Breakfast is at 7.30.
13:20I want notice if you're not going to be in for your evening meal.
13:22I need your bedsheets on Monday morning, no guests after 10, and no ladies staying over.
13:29Well, I'll, erm, try and resist the temptation.
13:33That's fine.
13:35Good.
13:37I'm just nipping to the shops.
13:39Are you here for any particular reason?
13:41Er, well, er...
13:42He's just going to help me unpack.
13:44It's been a while since I've had a proper bedroom, you know.
13:46Well, it's not a prison cell, so...
13:48Good.
13:49Cos that bag is making my sitting room look untidy.
13:53I'll be back directly.
13:59Just so you know, she won't have a problem with you being gay.
14:03Her grandson was.
14:04Right, well...
14:06I won't be making a point of telling her any time soon, so...
14:10Oh.
14:12I'm just not quite ready to be out and proud yet, so...
14:16Seriously?
14:18After everything we went through inside?
14:20It's just the way that I want to play it, so...
14:23For now, just keep us on the down low, right?
14:27Okay, yeah.
14:30Don't look at me like that.
14:32Didn't exactly big up our marital status to Alan, did ya?
14:35What?
14:36Have you been avoiding me?
14:37Because you sure as hell aren't answering your phone.
14:38Did you speak to Tim?
14:39Yeah.
14:40Yeah, he's passivide.
14:41You'll be getting a discount next time.
14:43We cannot take a dent in our reputation.
14:44Oh, Mum.
14:45Well, it shouldn't have been me dealing with April's little meltdown.
14:47That's your job.
14:48I did try and call her.
14:49I did try and call her.
14:50I know.
14:51I saw.
14:52And look, I've spoken to her.
14:54We won't have a problem with her next time.
14:55In fact, I had an inquiry from a regular.
14:57We could set April up with him tomorrow.
14:58No.
14:59No.
15:00No.
15:01No.
15:02No.
15:03No.
15:04No.
15:05No.
15:06No.
15:07No.
15:08No.
15:09No.
15:10No.
15:11No.
15:12No.
15:13No.
15:14No.
15:15No.
15:16I didn't inquire here from her regular.
15:17We could set April up with him tomorrow.
15:18No.
15:19She needs a few days to pull herself back together, use one of the others.
15:21Okay.
15:22Okay.
15:23Whatever you say.
15:24Oh, I try thinking occasionally.
15:27Meantime, elsewhere.
15:29Got a job for Dylan.
15:31Good.
15:33Let's hope he can manage it without screwing up, eh?
15:35Change the habit of a lifetime.
15:38Just wondering if I should be paranoid.
15:45No, don't be daft. Look, Aaron's just got out of a marriage himself, as it happens,
15:52to my brother, John. It didn't go well. It didn't go well as in John tried to kill him.
16:01I'm sorry, what?
16:06It's a long story, which I will explain, but for now, it's all a bit raw for Aaron and I didn't want to rub his nose in it.
16:15Right, so I've definitely got nothing to worry about. No, no, I promise.
16:20Good. We could, er, go upstairs. You can help me unpack. I could show you my scar.
16:34You've got that scar saving me. You'd save me first.
16:43Guess who I found outside?
16:45Hi again.
16:47Still in?
16:49Oh, yeah. Yeah, a bit distracted looking through these.
16:52Ah, my pride and joy.
16:54Oh, Lord. Here we go. Look, before you get into that, help me put the bags away.
17:03Anyone fancy a brew?
17:05Yes, please.
17:07Er, no, actually. I've, er, got to run to work.
17:10Are you finished your shift?
17:12Yeah. Erm, we're a bit short staffed at the moment, so I'm covering.
17:16Right. So I'll see you later then, yeah?
17:18Er, no. No, no, no, not today. Er, I'm gonna be working till the early hours.
17:23But, hey, I'll see you tomorrow.
17:26I know she feels let down.
17:29I didn't want her to go.
17:31And I was feeling let down too, and hurt, after everything that happened with Leo.
17:34Yeah, it doesn't mean you don't care, though.
17:36Either way, I wish I got to see more of her.
17:40That's a good look, innit?
17:42Needy dad.
17:43Blimey, I'm gonna be late for work.
17:47That's all right, you get going, I'll finish up here.
17:49Yeah, maybe I will.
17:54Thanks for the chat.
17:59Malon.
18:02April's gonna be fine, all right?
18:05She loves her family, and she ain't going anywhere.
18:08Neither of us are.
18:10Mainly cos we're both skint out of time.
18:13At least you got a depot job.
18:15Yeah. Yeah, yeah, covers, basics.
18:18Well, look, if you need some extra cash, why not do more pot washing at the pub?
18:22I don't think Chas would be right pleased.
18:24I'll square it with Chas.
18:25Tomorrow.
18:26Tomorrow, 10am.
18:28Yeah.
18:29Yeah, that would be great.
18:31Erm.
18:32Look, I'll try and help you spend more time with April.
18:36Erm.
18:37You know, she might come and visit when I'm doing pot washing.
18:40She might be a bit more chatty if it's not forced or whatever.
18:45A point.
18:47Thanks.
18:48And thanks for today.
18:50Do you know what?
18:53Erm.
18:54I'm really glad she's got you looking out for her.
18:57So.
19:09Kev.
19:13What about him?
19:14Well, he was your cellmate.
19:16How come you never mentioned him before?
19:18You know, I don't like talking about her time inside.
19:21Okay.
19:22He's just a mate.
19:24Robert, I have been there, remember?
19:28I know what it's like.
19:29And I also know what it's like when you get locked up with somebody that you get on with.
19:34You look out for each other.
19:36You get close.
19:39Okay.
19:40Before you go any further.
19:41I'm just saying that I would understand if there's anything you want to tell me.
19:48At least, like I said, there's nothing to tell.
19:50It's just a mate.
19:52Robert.
19:53I've already told you I don't like talking about it.
19:58That part of my life is over.
19:59You must be relieved they're not taking it any further.
20:09I can't tell you.
20:11I mean, it seemed a bit much getting the police involved.
20:13Because a kid sends a photo around.
20:16Technology's a wonderful thing.
20:19Well, the kids don't realise the consequences.
20:21Sure as hell don't realise they might be committing a crime.
20:24Exactly.
20:25And it's not Carl's fault, is it?
20:26He's as much a victim as Clemmie.
20:29It's so nice to hear you're making excuses for him.
20:31I wasn't.
20:33Oh, they don't not hear that right.
20:35Have you got any idea what Clemmie's going through right now?
20:38Jill, let's just get a drink.
20:39Maybe you shouldn't earwig in private conversations.
20:41Oh, I see where your kids get it from.
20:43The whole dodging responsibilities thing, yeah.
20:46Meaning what exactly?
20:48Meaning you clearly think this is okay.
20:50What Carl did.
20:51The only problem was that he got caught, right?
20:53I didn't say that.
