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 him.
03:12You know, I'm in.
03:13Kev!
03:14I probably should've called first.
03:15No, don't be daft.
03:16I did tell him you had an early start at the farm.
03:17Kept trying to call you, though.
03:19Yeah, it's all a bit mad up there, at the moment.
03:20I can't tell you what I'm doing.
03:21You know what I'm doing?
03:22You know what I'm doing?
03:23I couldn't tell him.
03:24I couldn't tell him, but I could not expect them to actually talk.
03:25I just wanted to check in on Bob, make sure she was okay.
03:26Well, look, if you're really worried, maybe have a word with Dylan.
03:27Because if anybody knows anything, it'll be him.
03:29Now, then, Kev!
03:30I probably should've called first.
03:31No, don't be daft.
03:35I did tell him you had an early start at the farm.
03:37I kept trying to call you, though.
03:42Yeah, it's all a bit mad up there, at the moment.
03:45We've been having a nice chat. She's looking really well, isn't she?
03:49She is, see? Shouldn't I be?
03:51After the brain operation.
03:53He's been telling me how he's been looking after you,
03:55how 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. Wow.
04:05Couldn't wait.
04:07I've, erm, arranged to meet Charles in the cafe.
04:10Great.
04:11Yeah, Kev's been telling me all about how he met Charles
04:13through the outreach programme and that's who he'll be staying with in the village.
04:16Did I not mention that?
04:17You 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. You know where it is.
04:30Okay, so, first thing, operation.
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. Second 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.
04:47It's not my fault.
04:48I 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.
05:00Hey, all right?
05:10So, um...
05:13I hear it didn't go too well yesterday.
05:16I'm sorry.
05:17Easy, easy. It's okay.
05:20Mum 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.
05:35Especially 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.
05:49I 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,
06:09you'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.
06:21You'd be surprised how many men avoid it.
06:23Right?
06:24Liam was having some kind of, well, problems.
06:27And I persuaded him to do something about it.
06:30And it turns out he's fine.
06:31And 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.
06:37I'm proud of him for dealing with it.
06:39You got a problem?
06:40Of course not.
06:42You'd best get on with putting it up.
06:44I'm guessing I've said yes, then.
06:50Hi.
06:54You remember Charles?
06:55Yeah, mate.
06:56You all right?
06:57Aye, Kev.
06:58Good to see you again.
06:59You two know each other?
07:00Just threw him inside, yeah.
07:02Well, I suppose you'll want him back at yours, won't you?
07:04Get him settled in.
07:05This our house guest?
07:06Kev.
07:07Meet my mum.
07:08Claudette.
07:09Look.
07:11He's taken me in.
07:12Glad to have you.
07:13But 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.
07:22Won't I drop in this, though, first?
07:24Yeah.
07:25Let's lead the way.
07:29Get us one of them weird copies in there.
07:31I'll be well when I drop this in.
07:38Oh, a 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.
07:53And 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.
08:11So 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.
08:26I didn't want any of this.
08:27This 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.
08:50Robert's new mate's back.
08:52I 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.
09:07I've heard 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.
09:38Nice 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...
09:57I've gone go to Charles's.
09:58I can explain better in private.
10:07Sorry about the smell.
10:08I've had a breakfast disaster.
10:10That was supposed to be a pancake and someone has showed me how to make them, to be fair.
10:15Erm...
10:16But, 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 I'm 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.
10:41I mean, I did ask earlier, but her answer wasn't too...
10:44too 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...
11:20I hoped...
11:22things 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?
11:54One 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, forgive me, evangelical about all this.
12:15I have my reasons.
12:18OK.
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?
12:49Something 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.
12:59Well, 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.
13:19Breakfast is at 7.30.
13:21I want notice if you're not going to be in for your evening meal.
13:23I need your bedsheets on Monday morning.
13:25No guests after 10.
13:27And no ladies staying over.
13:29Well, I'll, erm, try and resist the temptation.
13:34That's fine.
13:36Good.
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.
13:51I'll be back directly.
13:58Just so you know, she won't have a problem with you being gay.
14:02Her grandson was.
14:04Right, well...
14:06I won't be making a point of telling her any time soon, so...
14:09Oh.
14:11I'm just not quite ready to be...
14:14out and proud yet, so...
14:16Seriously?
14:18After everything we went through inside?
14:19It's just the way that I want to play it, so...
14:23For now, just keep us on the down low.
14:26Right?
14:27Okay, yeah.
14:30Don't look at me like that.
14:32Didn't exactly big up our marital status to Alan, did ya?
14:34Right?
14:35Have you been avoiding me?
14:36Because you sure as hell aren't answering your phone.
14:38Did you speak to Tim?
14:40Yeah.
14:41Yeah, he's passivoid.
14:42You'll be getting a discount next time.
14:43You cannot take a dent in our reputation.
14:44Oh, Mum.
14:45Well, it shouldn't have been me dealing with April's little meltdown.
14:48That's your job.
14:49I did try and call her.
14:50I did try and call her.
14:51I know.
14:52I saw.
14:53And look, I've spoken to her.
14:55We won't have a problem with her next time.
14:56In fact, I had an inquiry from a regular.
14:58We could set April up with him tomorrow.
14:59No.
15:00She needs a few days.
15:01No.
15:02She needs a few days.
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.
15:16No.
15:17No, she needs a few days to pull herself back together.
15:20Use one of the others.
15:22Okay.
15:23Okay.
15:24Whatever you say.
15:25Try thinking occasionally.
15:28Meantime, elsewhere.
15:29Got a job for Dylan.
15:31Good.
15:32Let's hope he can manage it without screwing up, eh?
15:36Change the habit of a lifetime.
15:42Just wondering if I should be paranoid.
15:44No.
15:45Don't be daft.
15:46Look, Aaron's just got out of a marriage himself, as it happens, to my brother, John.
15:55It didn't go well. It didn't go well as in John tried to kill him.
16:01So did 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.
16:18No. No, I promise.
16:20Good.
16:25We could, er, go upstairs. You can help me unpack.
16:31I could show you my scar.
16:34You got that scar saving me?
16:37You'd save me first.
16:40Guess who I found outside?
16:45Hi again.
16:47Still in?
16:49Oh, yeah. Yeah, a bit distracting looking through these.
16:52Ah, my pride and joy.
16:54Oh, Lord. Here we go.
16:56Look, before you get into that, help me put the bags away.
17:03Anyone fancy a brew?
17:04Yes, please.
17:05Er, no, actually. I've, er, got to run to work.
17:09What, are you finished your shift?
17:11Yeah.
17:12Erm, we're a bit short-staffed at the moment, so I'm covering.
17:15Right.
17:16So I'll see you later then, yeah?
17:18Er, no.
17:19No, no, no, not today.
17:20Er, I'm gonna be working till the early hours.
17:22But, hey, I'll see you tomorrow.
17:24I know she feels let down.
17:28I didn't want her to go.
17:30And I was feeling let down too, and hurt,
17:32after 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.
17:39That's a good look, innit?
17:41A needy dad.
17:43Blimey, I'm gonna be late for work.
17:46That's all right, you get going, I'll finish up here.
17:49Yeah, maybe I will.
17:52Thanks for the chat.
17:58Malon.
18:02April's gonna be fine, all right?
18:04She loves her family, and she ain't going anywhere.
18:07Neither of us are.
18:09Mainly cos we're both skint out of time.
18:12At least you got the depot job.
18:14Yeah.
18:15Yeah, yeah, covers, basics.
18:17Well, look, if you need some extra cash,
18:19why not do more pot washing at the pub?
18:21I don't think Chas would be right pleased.
18:23I'll square it with Chas.
18:25Tomorrow?
18:26Tomorrow?
18:2710am?
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?
18:38She might come and visit when I'm doing pot washing.
18:40She might be a bit more chatty if it's not...
18:44forced or whatever.
18:46A point.
18:47Thanks.
18:48And thanks for today.
18:53You know what, erm...
18:55I'm really glad she's got you looking out for her.
18:57So...
19:11Kev.
19:12What about him?
19:14Well, he was your cell mate.
19:16How come you never mentioned him before?
19:19You know I don't like talking about what time inside.
19:21Okay.
19:23It's just a mate.
19:27Robert, I have been there, remember?
19:28I know what it's like.
19:30And 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...
19:43that 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.
20:07You 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?
20:27He's as much a victim as Clemmie.
20:29It's so nice to hear you're making excuses for him.
20:32I wasn't.
20:33Oh, they don't not hear that right.
20:35Have you got any idea what Clemmie's going through right now?
20:38Joe, 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.
20:54Oh, am I misinterpreting this?
20:56It's not the time or place.
20:57So, Clemmie isn't traumatised by the fact that her photo is all over the internet.
21:02That she might have to leave schools and this is going to follow her around forever.
21:06Joe.
21:07We're all sorry for what happened.
21:08Yeah, but you're not telling Carl.
21:10He's completely guiltless in this entire thing, even though it was his fault.
21:13Makes you think, doesn't it?
21:14Makes you wonder about Angelica.
21:15Maybe you told her that killing Bob's son was all fine and dandy as well.
21:19Jimmy!
21:20Well, it makes no difference either way now, does it?
21:26The police aren't proceeding any further.
21:30Yeah.
21:32Okay.
21:33But you know me, Jimmy.
21:35You know my family.
21:37Justice comes in many forms.
21:40Let's just see how this manifests for you and yours.
21:50Good night.
21:51Good night.
21:52Every night.
21:54Sorry for your name.
22:00After you god.
22:02Expect.
22:04Good night.
22:06Forgemone Santa
22:17By Metro.
