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'd be in.
03:12Come on, then.
03:13You know, between the ages of 13 and 20, you don't expect them to actually talk.
03:18I just wanted to check in on her, Bob, make sure she was okay.
03:22Well, look, if you're really worried, maybe have a word with Dylan.
03:25Because if anybody knows anything, it'll be him.
03:34Norman.
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.
03:43Kept 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, how you've been recovering 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, erm, arranged to meet Charles in the cafe.
04:11Great.
04:12Yeah, Kev's been telling me all about how he met Charles through 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.
04:20Well, shall we head over to the cafe, then?
04:22Yeah, is it all right if I just use your bog first, though?
04:24Of course it is, yeah.
04:25You know where it is.
04:26OK, so, first thing, operation?
04:29Yeah, brain operation, yeah.
04:30You're not serious?
04:31Well, when I was getting out, I needed to come up with an excuse why I was being released early.
04:35OK, so I will Google brain operations, that'll be that covered.
04:38Second lie?
04:39Yeah, I will speak to Aaron as soon as I can.
04:40Well, you'd better get a rush on.
04:41He's moving in with Charles and Claudette.
04:42It's not my fault.
04:43I would have found him somewhere outside the village, but he'd already spoken to Charles.
04:45Well, look, Robert, and I cannot believe I'm saying this sentence, but you need to tell
04:46your boyfriend about your terminally ill husband before he moves in with the vicar.
05:03Hey, all right?
05:06So, um, I hear it didn't go too well yesterday.
05:16I'm sorry.
05:17Easy, easy.
05:18It's OK.
05:19Mum said she'd spoken to you.
05:22Yeah, how come you never mentioned that she was your mum?
05:25I 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, especially when we screw up.
05:37Yeah, that guy, Tim, was he mad?
05:40I'll sort it.
05:41Don't worry.
05:42Look, I know Mum can be a bit, um, hard about things.
05:47That's why I wanted to have a word as well.
05:49But I just want you to know it's all good.
05:53How can it be?
05:55Because you want to do what's best for everyone.
05:58So, when the next time comes, be it with, um, Tim or whoever, you're going to make that extra special effort.
06:12Yeah?
06:16Yeah, we were just wondering if you could, uh, pop that up.
06:19Prostate checks.
06:20You'd be surprised how many men avoid it.
06:22Right?
06:23Liam was having some kind of, well, problems.
06:27And I persuaded him to do something about it.
06:29And it turns out he's fine.
06:31And whatever's causing his symptoms, it isn't cancer.
06:33Thank the good Lord.
06:34And I'm sure Liam's grateful that he shared that.
06:37I'm proud of him for dealing with it.
06:39You got a problem?
06:40Course not.
06:41You best get on with putting it up.
06:43I'm guessing I've said yes, then.
06:50Hi.
06:54You remember Charles?
06:55Yeah, mate.
06:56You all right?
06:57All right, Kev.
06:58Good to see you again.
06:59You two know each other?
07:00Just threw him inside, yeah.
07:02Well, yeah, I suppose you'll want him back at yours, won't you?
07:04Get him settled in.
07:05This our house guest?
07:07Kev.
07:08Meet my mum, Claudette.
07:09Look, thank you.
07:10He's taken me in.
07:11Glad to have you.
07:12But to be clear, I know ex-cons of old.
07:15And 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.
07:23Why don'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 welcome to drop this in.
07:38So, friend of yours.
07:40Something like that, yeah.
07:45Yeah, all right, thank you.
07:46Bye.
07:49Oh, that was the school.
07:50They want to know when Clemmie's coming back.
07:53I presume you told them that we're still deciding?
07:56Well, what else can we do when she's in a state like this?
07:59And 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.
08:07What?
08:09Hey.
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.
08:23Okay, well, we can set up a meeting if that's what you want.
08:25I didn't want any of this.
08:30This is such a mess.
08:32She's right. This is going to follow her around forever.
08:34Meanwhile, Carl just gets to move on like nothing ever happened.
08:37I hope Carl doesn't have a hard time.
08:44He'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.
08:51Robert's new mate's back.
08:53I take it you two have met?
08:55You have?
08:56Oh, maybe you haven't. This is Aaron.
08:58Oh, I know who Aaron is.
09:00Hi, are you?
09:02Aaron, this is Kev, yeah?
09:05He's Robert's new friend.
09:07Robert, they're all about you.
09:25I'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.
09:38Nice to meet you.
09:42It's Vinny. Hang on.
09:44Hi, Vin.
09:46No, I told you it was supposed to be Wednesday.
09:53So, mates?
09:55Yeah, er...
09:57Come and go to Charles's.
09:58I can explain better in private.
09:59Sorry about the smell. I've had a breakfast disaster. That was supposed to be a pancake and someone has showed me how to make them, to be fair. Erm, but you know, practice makes perfect.
10:17Yeah.
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...
10:59I can't seem to get through to her.
11:04You know, she's still getting a handle on everything. Normal life and school and all that, so...
11:09Yeah, no, no, yeah, I get all that, I get all that.
11:12It's just that I've...
11:15After the ecstasy pills and Leo, and her moving in with Bob, I just thought...
11:20I hoped things had calmed down.
11:23Yeah, and they have.
11:24She was so distant with me this morning, I mean, she could barely even look at me.
11:30And I don't know what to do about it anymore.
11:34Look, she knows you're there for her and that, and she's settled at Bob's, alright? She ain't going anywhere.
11:39I reckon, just...just give her time and...
11:43I 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.
11:51Fancy making some pancakes?
11:55One poster in the cafe isn't going to cut it.
12:00Well...
12:02Let's see how we get on, shall we?
12:05You want to really publicise it?
12:07We should certainly be using the practice website. I mean, it's important!
12:11Claudette, you are quite, er...
12:13Forgive me. Evangelical, about all this.
12:16I have my reasons.
12:17I lost a brother to prostate cancer.
12:25Oh.
12:27Oh, I'm so sorry.
12:29Yes, well, all a long time ago now.
12:31I can't believe he didn't mention it. Especially with me banging on about it.
12:37He didn't make it, Liam. It's the last thing you needed to hear.
12:41And he was like you. Symptoms persisting. Him saying he'd sort it when he had a moment.
12:46Was he aware that black men are at higher risk? Something like, er, one in four?
12:51Oh, yeah. He knew. But 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.
13:17House rules. Breakfast 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. I'm just nipping to the shops.
13:38Are you here for any particular reason?
13:41Er, well, er... He'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. Cos 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?
14:35All right?
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.
14:42We cannot take a dent in our reputation.
14:44Oh, Mum.
14:45Well, it shouldn't have been me dealing with April's little meltdown. That's your job.
14:50I did try and call her.
14:51I did try and call her.
14:52I know.
14:53I saw.
14:54And look.
14:55I've spoken to her.
14:56We won't have a problem with her next time.
14:57In fact, I had an inquiry from a regular.
14:59We could set April up with him tomorrow.
15:00No.
15:01She needs a few days to pull herself back together.
15:02Use one of the others.
15:03Okay.
15:04Okay.
15:05Okay.
15:06Whatever you say.
15:07Try thinking occasionally.
15:08Meantime, elsewhere.
15:09Got a job for Dylan.
15:10Well, I'll tell you.
15:11I'll tell you by the time you've been doing this.
15:12I have a little bit of a meltdown, that's your job.
15:14I did try and call her.
15:15I know.
15:16I saw.
15:17And look.
15:18I've spoken to her.
15:19We won't have a problem with her next time.
15:20In fact, I had an inquiry from a regular.
15:21We could set April up with him tomorrow.
15:22No.
15:23She needs a few days to pull herself back together.
15:24Use one of the others.
15:25Okay.
15:26Okay.
15:27Okay.
15:28elsewhere. Got a job for Dylan. Good. Let's hope he can manage it without screwing up,
15:35eh? Change the habit of a lifetime. Just wondering if I should be paranoid. No, don't be daft.
15:46Look, Aaron's just got out of a marriage himself, as it happens, to my brother, John. He didn't
15:57go well. Didn't go well as in John tried to kill him. Sorry, what? It's a long story, which
16:08I will explain, but for now, it's all a bit raw for Aaron and I didn't want to rub his
16:13nose in it. Right, so I've definitely got nothing to worry about. No, no, I promise. Good.
16:24We could, er, go upstairs. You can help me unpack. I could show you my scar. You got that
16:35scar saving me? You'd save me first.
16:42Guess who I found outside? Hi again. Still in? Oh, yeah. Yeah, a bit distracting looking through
16:52these. Ah, my pride and joy. Oh, Lord. Here we go. Look, before you get into that, help me
16:59put the bags away. Anyone fancy a brew? Yes, please. Er, no, actually. I've got to run to work.
17:09Are you finished your shift? Yeah. Erm, we're a bit short-staffed at the moment, so I'm
17:15covering. Right. So I'll see you later then, yeah? Er, no. No, no, no, not today. Er, I'm
17:20going to be working until the early hours. But hey, I'll see you tomorrow. I know she
17:27feels let down. I didn't want her to go. And I was feeling let down too and hurt after
17:32everything that happened with Leo. Yeah, it doesn't mean you don't care though, Malon.
17:37Either way, I wish I got to see more of her. That's a good look, innit? A needy dad.
17:43Blimey, I'm going to be late for work. That's alright. You get going. I'll finish up here.
17:49Yeah, maybe I will. Thanks for the chat. Malon. April's going to be fine, alright? She
18:05loves her family and she ain't going anywhere. Neither of us are. Mainly cos we're both skint
18:12half the time. At least you've got the depot job. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Covers, basics. Well
18:18look, if you need some extra cash, why not do more pot washing at the pub? I don't think
18:22Chas will be right pleased. I'll square it with Chas. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Ten
18:27a.m. Yeah. Yeah, that would be great. Erm, er, look, I'll try and help you spend more time
18:35with April. Erm, you know, she might come and visit when I'm doing pot washing that. She might
18:41be a bit more chatty if it's not forced or whatever. A point. Thanks. And thanks for
18:49today. You know what, erm, I'm really glad she's got you looking out for her.
19:06So. Kev. What about him? Well, he was your cellmate. How come you never mentioned him
19:16before? You know I don't like talking about what time inside. Okay. He's just a mate.
19:23Robert, I have been there, remember. I know what it's like. And I also know what it's
19:31like when you get locked up with somebody that you get on with. You look out for each
19:35other. You get close. Okay. Before you go any further. I'm just saying that I would
19:43understand if there's anything you want to tell me. It's like I said, there's nothing
19:49to tell. It's just a mate. Robert. I've already told you I don't like talking about it. That part
19:58of my life is over.
19:59You must be relieved they're not taking it any further. I can't tell you. I mean, it
20:11seemed a bit much getting the police involved because a kid sends a photo around. Technology's
20:16a wonderful thing. Well, the kids don't realise the consequences. Sure as they don't realise
20:21they might be committing a crime. Exactly. And it's not Carl's fault, is it? He's as
20:27much a victim as Clemmie. It's so nice to hear you're making excuses for him. I wasn't.
20:32Oh, did I not hear that right? Have you got any idea what Clemmie's going through right
20:36now? Jill, let's just get a drink. Maybe you shouldn't earwig in private conversations.
20:41Oh, I see where your kids get it from. The whole dodging responsibilities thing. Yeah.
20:45Meaning what exactly? Meaning you clearly think this is okay. What Carl did.
20:50The only problem was that he got caught, right? I didn't say that. Oh, am I misinterpreting
20:55this? It's not the time or place. So Clemmie isn't traumatised by the fact that her photo
21:00is all over the internet, that she might have to leave schools and this is going to follow
21:04her around forever. Joe. We're all sorry for what happened. Yeah, but you're not telling
21:09Carl. He's completely guiltless in this entire thing, even though it was his fault. Makes
21:13you think, doesn't it? Makes you wonder about Angelica. Maybe you told her that killing
21:16Bob's son was all fine and dandy as well. Jimmy!
21:19Well, it makes no difference either way now, does it? The police aren't proceeding any
21:28further. Yeah. Okay. But you know me, Jimmy. You know my family. Justice comes in many
21:38forms. Let's just see how this manifests for you and yours.
21:45That's lovely.
21:46That negócio is true, let's go.
21:47Tell her about something else.
21:52No one wants to go.
22:00We were just looking at E integration.
