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