00:00You
00:30Anne?
00:57Is that you?
01:00Is that you?
01:30All right, boys. Trick or treat. Yeah, I get it. Come on.
01:41Boys?
01:43Yeah. Don't you dare give me grief for closing early tonight. After the quiz, I can't bear the embarrassment.
01:53What are you doing?
01:54Just sitting there, I couldn't resist it.
01:56Oh, hi.
02:04What's going in the bin?
02:05Yeah.
02:06Listen, look out. I won't just... I'm sorry, all right?
02:16I'm sorry about tonight.
02:20Yeah, what, erm...
02:22What's the name of that Scottish sport where some mug has to sweep the ice to clear the path for that big round, stony thing?
02:30Curling?
02:31Curling?
02:32That's the one, yeah. All day. That's me.
02:35Popping the mug that's been sweeping the ice to clear the path to make it nice for Zoe.
02:39And how does she repay me by upsetting you, slagging off my punters and wrecking the party?
02:43It was a shock to see his face in there like that.
02:47What? She must have put it on herself.
02:49I told you, I didn't.
02:51Okay, well, if it wasn't you, was it?
02:53The same person who smashed our photo.
02:55Oh, not again.
02:56The same person who went fishing through the bins and left it up in my room.
02:59I nearly caught them, they were just upstairs.
03:01Must be the kids just trying to spook you.
03:03No, no, no, they're out doing trick or treating.
03:05As for your nan, she's had some, I don't know what, 60s weekend rave.
03:08If it was you, Alfie, and it was just meant to be a joke, just tell me.
03:10Oh, don't behave, will ya?
03:12Don't blame him.
03:13You owe him an apology after ruining tonight.
03:15Well, that leaves... you.
03:18Can you hear yourself?
03:19Okay, Zoe, listen, I'm sorry, Alfie.
03:21No one's been through here, okay?
03:22Now, if anybody's in the building, I will call the old bill, yeah?
03:24Well, they must have snuck out the back door.
03:30Hey, how was that?
03:37Anthony, how long have you been in there?
03:39I was on the phone to my wife.
03:41One of our kids is sick.
03:43So, were you closed?
03:45Uh, yeah, Anthony, listen, mate, the party's over, but if you want a late drink, I think Harry's barn's open.
03:51Hardly.
03:52Nine o'clock is late enough for this old fart.
03:54Were you the one sneaking around upstairs?
03:56Zoe, give it a rest, darling.
03:57He's the only one who's been in the building.
03:59He was trying to get me to move in with him earlier.
04:01What?
04:02I mean, a friend.
04:03I was trying to look out for you.
04:05Don't ever come near me again.
04:07Zoe.
04:08It'll be my pleasure.
04:11A serious psychotic break.
04:14How mad if Zoe gets away with such bad behaviour for Zoe?
04:24Why is Charlie crying?
04:32Oh, I just...
04:33I'm so behind on my coursework, I don't want to get told off by this week.
04:36Okay, okay.
04:37What's the matter with Charlie?
04:39I don't know.
04:40I've tried everything.
04:41I've given her medicine.
04:42Okay, okay.
04:43She probably just needs a little hug.
04:45Mum, don't you think I've tried that?
04:46She's been like it for hours.
04:48Oh, well, it's probably fine, but, um, I'll just go and have a little chat.
04:53Don't worry, I'll put money in the till.
05:04What are you both having?
05:05Let's celebrate.
05:06Oh, well, don't worry.
05:08Celebrate what?
05:09More than the fact that that nutter, who's been trying to freak me out,
05:12who's caused all of our rows, is on the other side of that locked door.
05:16Does that mean we can go back to normal now?
05:18Don't see why not.
05:19Where'd you say that video was from?
05:24I was clearing out the barrel store, but your mum didn't want to upset you by showing you Charlie and Viv
05:29without checking with you first.
05:31If I'd known he was on it, I would have burnt it straight away.
05:34Maybe we should watch it.
05:37You know, rip the plaster off and lay the ghost to rest.
05:40No, Zoe, this ain't the right time. You're too vulnerable, all right?
05:43I'm fine. I ain't losing my mind. It was Anthony.
05:46Do what you want.
05:48I'd rather poke my eyes out with a sharp stick.
05:58I've got all my kids under one roof, at last. I can't lose her again.
06:02I know. I can't, I know.
06:05But if she messes up again, there's only one person to blame, isn't there?
06:10She's burning up with a big red rash on her chest.
06:17Why didn't you call me?
06:19Rash? I didn't see a rash.
06:20Does the rash stay or go?
06:22The glass test. Look up. Meningitis glass test on your phone.
06:25Now.
06:26Meningitis? Why are you saying that? That's really dangerous, isn't it?
06:27Yes, it is. And your daughter is upstairs screaming in agony.
06:31The glass test. Now.
06:32Oh, do you know what? I'll do it.
06:34Yeah, I'll go see her.
06:35No, you can't. It could be contagious.
06:37I don't care. I want to see her.
06:38I know you do, but I can't risk both of you being sick.
06:41I don't know enough about it.
06:42Why do you go to see her when I don't? I'm her mum.
06:44Because I'm responsible for both of you.
06:46So just stay away from Charlie until she's been checked.
06:49I can't have two dead children on my hands.
06:52Oh, and go and get Anthony for number 20.
06:54It's quicker than calling an ambulance.
06:56Now. Go, go, go.
06:59Are you up to date with all your jabs?
07:01I've forgotten what to taste of. Tell me.
07:11Gotcha. That's funny.
07:13That's funny.
07:14You little creeps. I thought you were meant to be out trick-or-treating.
07:16Yeah, we just got home. Came in the back door.
07:21Tommy saw.
07:24Do you know how about that?
07:27Slater's Halloween, 1988.
07:29Oh, Zoe, I so want to see that.
07:31I know what I'm doing.
07:35So, you gonna tell me what happened?
07:37Well, I just saw...
07:41Varney, Denzel and the others.
07:44They were still calling me an incel freak.
07:46Right.
07:47For the amazing job.
07:48That is it. I'm gonna go and sort them out right now.
07:50No one bullies my little brother and gets away with it.
07:52See, knowing you, you probably would.
07:54Seriously, just say the word and I'm there.
07:56Cheers, Zoe.
08:00See? You lot are useless.
08:02Hey, I thought you weren't a misogynist.
08:04No, I'm not. I wasn't talking about women.
08:06I just mean...
08:08Well, old.
08:09Oh.
08:12Is that Mum?
08:13I still hadn't that time forgot.
08:15Otherwise known as the eighties.
08:20I don't think your mum would want you saying this.
08:21What are you doing? Turn that off.
08:23No, why?
08:25Because I said so, all right?
08:27Why are you dragging Tommy into your weird obsession with Harry?
08:29I won.
08:30Harry? What, Uncle Harry?
08:32Grandad's brother.
08:34Don't worry about it.
08:35The other week, he was telling me something about Aunty Moe
08:38and nearly said something about Mum.
08:40Did she now?
08:41Yeah, but don't be angry at her,
08:42because she was only looking out for you.
08:46Mum, what did Uncle Harry do?
08:49I am so sorry.
09:02A very long time ago, a very bad man took my power away from me.
09:09And I've got nothing to be ashamed of.
09:14So you're old enough to ask, so I'll tell you.
09:20Actually, I'll show you.
09:21Who's a little ghosty then, eh?
09:22I don't want to be a ghosty, I want to be a bat.
09:24Oh, Zoe, darling, I spent ages doing your ghosty makeup,
09:25because that's what you said you wanted.
09:26I want to be a bat.
09:27I want to be a bat.
09:28Come on.
09:29I want to show you something.
09:30I want to be a bat.
09:31How are you?
09:32I want to be a bat.
09:33Sorry, darling, I spent ages doing your ghosty makeup,
09:34because that's what you said you wanted.
09:35I want to be a bat.
09:36Come on.
09:38I want to show you something.
09:39Oh, Zoe, come on.
09:40Come on.
09:41I want to show you something.
09:44I want to be a bat.
09:44Oh, Zoe, darling, I spent ages doing your ghosty make-up
09:47because that's what you said you wanted.
09:48I want to be a bat.
09:53Come on.
09:54I want to show you something.
10:03Say hello, little Moe.
10:08I'm so sorry.
10:09I've covered everything on the bottle that I could.
10:11I didn't know it was meningitis.
10:12Goodness, sir.
10:13That's not a happy bunny.
10:14I said she could die.
10:16She said we both could die.
10:17Hey, it'll be okay.
10:18All right, let me see what we can do.
10:19Anthony, thank you so much for coming.
10:22Not at all, may I?
10:23Yes, yes, she's boiling hot and I'm worried sick.
10:26I said no.
10:28But just do as I say.
10:33No, you hang up.
10:35No, stop it.
10:36You hang up.
10:38No, no, you hang...
10:40I've got to say, Dad, or can I have a private conversation?
10:49Lynn's been asked that by another weirdo.
10:52Are you jealous, Kat?
10:54All right, behave.
10:55You're on camera, girls.
10:56Right, are we ready?
10:57Moe's going to teach us her moves.
11:00Wait.
11:01Wait for Zoe.
11:02She wants to show off her bat costume.
11:04Where'd that come from?
11:06It's fair.
11:06I had a feeling she didn't want to be a ghostie.
11:09Your mummy knows best, didn't she?
11:10Yeah.
11:12Oh, girls.
11:14Let's get some slaters that day.
11:17Woo!
11:17Oh, yeah.
11:18Oh, Melissa!
11:19Say, Dad, come here!
11:21Woo!
11:22Go on, little boy.
11:23What's next, please?
11:24Woo!
11:26Come on, little boy.
11:27Go on, Zoe.
11:28That's it, girls.
11:29Give it some wedding beer, Uncle Harry.
11:30Right, everybody, welcome home.
11:34Go.
11:35Come on, Zoe.
11:38What's up with you?
11:39You haven't seen me since I moved to Spain.
11:42Oh, yeah.
11:51Is this little Zoe I heard about?
11:52Oh, she's gorgeous, eh?
11:54You've still got it, Charlie, mate.
11:56Can't even leave her, Uncle Harry!
11:57Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
12:00Carry on without me.
12:01Oh, no, no, no, no.
12:02I don't have to.
12:23How is she?
12:23Is she OK?
12:24Is it meningitis?
12:25It's just the high temperature.
12:27She's going to be fine.
12:28Oh, thank you.
12:32I was so scared.
12:33The rash looked like it was meningitis.
12:38Your nan did the right thing getting me round.
12:42On this occasion, it was just a heat rash from Charlie's temperature,
12:46but it's always better to be safe than sorry.
12:49OK.
12:49And if you're ever worried again, just press a glass against the skin.
12:55And if the rash fades, then it's likely not meningitis.
12:59OK.
12:59Thank you, doctor.
13:01And the medication's working now.
13:03So, um, Charlie's already on the mend.
13:07Shh, shh.
13:08Listen.
13:10What?
13:10The silence of a contented, healthy child.
13:15Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
13:16You are doing a great job.
13:22OK.
13:23I'll, um, leave you to it.
13:25OK.
13:26You're very good with children.
13:29And adults.
13:32So, good job the pub closed early.
13:36Seeing as we were needed back here.
13:37I take it you saw Zoe's performance earlier.
13:43Cool.
13:44I wish you'd talk to everybody.
13:46Accusing everyone of doing dirty tricks to her,
13:49when actually the only person round here who's capable of such cruelty is her.
13:54She's given you the run around as well, I see.
13:57But you're too much of a gentleman to admit it.
14:01You're a good man, Anthony.
14:03Far too good for her.
14:04Good night, then.
14:08Yes, thank you, again.
14:10Good night.
14:16What a relief, eh?
14:18Oh, no harm done.
14:21Are you serious?
14:22You said me and Charlie might die.
14:24I thought she was dying.
14:26Well, I thought she had meningitis.
14:27I mean, haven't Anthony said it was an easy mistake to make?
14:30You still shouldn't have said it.
14:32Stay away from Charlie.
14:33I can look after her by myself.
14:38How's Brian coping?
14:40Jumpy Jean's about to drop her a sprong, ain't she?
14:42She's due next week.
14:44Why don't you stay with them?
14:46Brian could do with the company, losing his mum like that.
14:50Right.
14:51Hold on.
14:51No, it's decided.
14:53Jean's no use, not ornament to Brian.
14:55And that's Sean's going the same route, if you ask me.
14:57You heard of what she's calling the baby.
15:01So, Wayne, if it's a boy.
15:05And then, Stacey, if it's a girl.
15:09Common as mum.
15:10All right, ladies, that's enough.
15:13Lovely.
15:13Where's Sally?
15:14She was upstairs.
15:16No, Shane.
15:18Zoe?
15:18She'll be playing hide-and-seek.
15:22Zoe?
15:22All right.
15:26We're trying to find her, then, aren't we?
15:30Zoe?
15:31Here we come.
15:32Ready or not.
15:33Zoe?
15:34Zoe, where are we?
15:36Zoe, come on.
15:37Where are we?
15:37Zoe, it's not funny.
15:41Zoe, where are you, baby?
15:43Hey, hey, hey.
15:44She can't go far.
15:45Hey.
15:45She's here.
15:55I found her.
15:56What are you doing in there?
15:58No, we go.
15:59Never do that again.
16:00Get off.
16:01Get off.
16:03Mummy.
16:03Mummy.
16:04Don't do this all right.
16:05Come here.
16:07Come here.
16:07There's the ones in here, right?
16:12Oh, here she is.
16:14It's okay, Ma.
16:34Uncle Harry was, um, so he's dead.
16:44Where's your mum?
16:48She's talking to Tommy about Uncle Harry.
16:51Oh, no, no, no.
16:52No, leave him, because he's going to have to find out at some point.
16:58Yeah, I suppose.
16:59I suppose.
17:00Oh, it's just that secrets have poisoned this family for so long.
17:05You reckon?
17:06Mm-hmm.
17:08Look, I ain't going to be able to sleep.
17:10Can I stay down here and watch a film?
17:11Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
17:13Yeah, it's not a problem, of course.
17:16I just want to put it on record that I'm really glad you're staying.
17:22Me too.
17:23Thanks, Alfie.
17:25You're welcome.
17:26Good night, darling.
17:27Good night.
17:27Good night.
17:27Good night.
17:58Scared the life out of both of us.
18:00What do you reckon?
18:02I didn't mean to scare you.
18:04Scared?
18:05No, I've never been so scared.
18:08I just kept thinking, please, let my little girl be all right.
18:11Nobody even let me see her.
18:12I don't care about myself.
18:13I just wanted to protect her.
18:16So sorry.
18:17You're a brilliant mum.
18:21I wasn't thinking straight.
18:27Do you forgive me?
18:32I suppose.
18:32I think you teenagers think that us adults have got it all worked out.
18:42But actually, we haven't.
18:44No, I don't think that.
18:46Have you met our family?
18:46I'll pay you back to my course of work.
18:59Have you got pictures, Alf?
19:00Let's have a look.
19:01Who's in there?
19:18Mum or Uncle Sean?
19:19Me?
19:27Remember it like it was yesterday.
19:31Sean was in one of his rages and wrecking his room,
19:33so I made a tent for your mum and I in the front room bar.
19:37I completely forgot there's Stacey doesn't like the dark,
19:40so I hid in it all on my own.
19:44Stayed in there for hours.
19:49Was Sean scary as a kid then?
19:51No, he was just a little boy with too much energy
19:54and, you know, his dad was always working away.
19:59So it was just me, Sean, and your mum at home.
20:03On our own, mostly.
20:04I was quite lonely, actually.
20:11Didn't Auntie Cat's mum and dad help?
20:12No.
20:14They didn't have any time for me when Brian wasn't around.
20:18Jumpy Jean, that's what they called me.
20:22So, Paul.
20:24They were always having parties, you know,
20:26dancing and drinking into the early hours,
20:29but I was never invited.
20:30But then, you know, I was looking after the kids, so...
20:34actually...
20:37the kids were looking after me, if I...
20:40if the truth be told.
20:43Mum, don't beat yourself up.
20:45I'd be lost without you.
20:51Because I know I can be overprotective.
20:53It's just that I messed up so much the first time round, you know.
20:56You know, your mum was a very courageous little girl.
21:00She took on a lot of responsibilities way before her years.
21:03And do you know what?
21:03She never complained.
21:06Unlike Zoe.
21:10Surrounded by all those people doting on her.
21:12She had the fun and joy of, like, Blackpool Illuminations,
21:18but you'd think she was dragged up in a cave by a pack of wolves,
21:21the way she bangs on.
21:24Hey, why don't I put a film on?
21:25You know, my coursework can wait.
21:27That's why I'm worried about Kat.
21:29But Zoe's playing her like a fiddle.
21:32Emotionally blackmailing her for stuff in the past,
21:35and Kat has absolutely got nothing to be ashamed of.
21:38Nan, it's getting quite late.
21:39Why don't we go to bed?
21:42She's a nasty piece of work, that, Zoe.
21:47Manipulative and nasty.
21:52Good night, Nan.
21:53That's like what my dad used to say, you know.
21:57What goes around comes around so.
22:01We'll see.
22:06Yeah, night.
22:09I always knew you pretending to be Zoe's sister,
22:20but I never knew why.
22:22Shame.
22:24My mum and dad were ashamed of me.
22:25Yeah, but if you would have told them what happened, then they would have understood.
22:31I did. I told my mum.
22:33But she still blamed me.
22:34She said I was a little slapper that came on to Harry.
22:38He was just a kid.
22:39Yeah.
22:40What is it?
22:48Denzel said I'm the same as Joel.
22:50Yeah.
22:50Because I knew what he did to Ivani, and I didn't stop him.
22:55Mum, what if I'm like Uncle Harry?
22:57What if it runs in the family?
22:58No.
22:59Don't you say that.
23:00You are nothing like him.
23:01He was a monster.
23:03You are a good man.
23:05You are a good, strong man.
23:06Yeah, but all them times I hit you, you know, you was begging me to stop,
23:10and I couldn't because I was just so angry.
23:13But you did stop, all right?
23:15You didn't join in with Joel, no matter how much pressure he put on you.
23:19Tommy, listen, life is full of challenges,
23:21and sometimes you take a minute, but you always make the right decision,
23:23and that's how I know in my bones that you are nothing like them.
23:28Thanks, Mum.
23:29Wait, hang on.
23:37If Zoe knew how much Uncle Harry would hurt you,
23:40then why is she always angry with you?
23:43It must be hard for her.
23:45Coming from something so horrible.
23:47Yeah, but it didn't happen to her.
23:50Look, neither of us know how she feels, all right,
23:51so just go easy on her, yeah?
23:53I swear, if anyone hurts you again, I will...
23:59No, you won't.
24:01It's the fault that counts.
24:05Go on, Tommy, go to bed.
24:10Tommy, listen.
24:12If you've got any questions, come to me, yeah?
24:15I'd rather that than have it all boiling up inside you.
24:19Yeah, well...
24:20I just wish I had a time machine, you know,
24:22so I could go back, tell Zoe, Viv, and Grandad Charlie
24:28to take better care of you.
24:31They did their best.
24:41I love you, Mum.
24:42I love you, Tommy.
24:43Tommy.
24:50Tommy.
25:20Hello?
25:50Mini Mo, have you got stuck again?
26:19Don't be scared Kitty, it's only me.
26:44Don't be scared, Mommy gets bad memories in here.
27:11Zoe, Zoe.
27:20Whoa, Kat, hold on.
27:23No, that's Zoe.
27:24Kat, hold on, what's wrong?
27:26What is it?
27:27Another power cut.
27:28Huh?
27:29Zoe!
27:30Hold on.
27:31Zoe!
27:32Zoe, where are you?
27:33Zoe!
27:34What are you doing in there?
27:35What's happening?
27:36Oh, thank God.
27:37There was someone in there and then they pushed me and they must have run off.
27:40I thought I was going to die.
27:41I'll have a look.
27:42I'll have a look.
27:43Zoe, is that blood?
27:44Did they hurt you?
27:45No, because this is where I landed.
27:47Why would someone do this?
27:48I don't know.
27:49I don't know.
27:50Listen, there is nobody there.
27:52Come and get my phone.
27:53I'm going to call the old bill.
27:55Tell me you believe me this time.
27:57Tell me.
27:58Come here.
27:59Tell me you believe me.
