00:00What's happened?
00:20Okay.
00:22We are in the middle of a very, very important assessment, all right?
00:26So whatever this is about, now is not the time to discuss it.
00:28What's that to discuss? He's full of it.
00:31I must apologise for all that, Robin.
00:33You know, it can all be a bit dramatic at times.
00:35I've heard a lot worse, believe me.
00:37You know, honestly, they call each other all sorts,
00:39but they don't mean a word of it.
00:40Families argue, I get it.
00:41Yeah.
00:42So that was your stepson, Ravi, is that right?
00:45And he lives here with his girlfriend and his kids?
00:47Yeah.
00:48Yeah, I mean, they have a tempestuous relationship, you know,
00:51but there is a deep love that holds them all together, honestly.
00:55Okay.
00:56This isn't how it's going to be, you know.
00:58This isn't us.
01:02They're not part of this adoption, so please, can we carry on?
01:05I don't think this is the right time.
01:08This can wait.
01:08Right.
01:17He's breathing.
01:18He's got a pulse.
01:21You just got in my face, Zach.
01:22He was saying all this stuff, and then he'd come for me,
01:25and I just...
01:25You pushed him off?
01:27Yeah.
01:27All right.
01:27Yeah, I guess I...
01:28Yeah, and that's when he fell.
01:31Oh, this is, um...
01:33Self-defence, that's what we're saying.
01:36Oh.
01:38No.
01:39No, it wasn't Zach.
01:42He wasn't attacking me.
01:43He was just saying stuff, and I...
01:45I guess I panicked.
01:46I snapped.
01:47Just go.
01:47You don't have to help me.
01:48You don't have to be involved in this.
01:48No, no, no, Vicki, listen to me.
01:49It was self-defence.
01:51But it was my mistake, and I would deal with it, okay?
01:53No.
01:54No, I ain't going nowhere.
02:01What?
02:02Do we call an ambulance?
02:04What if they call the police?
02:05What are we supposed to do, sir?
02:05Vicki, Vicki, Vicki, listen to me, listen to me.
02:07This is the geezer from the pub, yeah?
02:09Which else are you, the one you shouted at?
02:11Yeah, I just, um...
02:12I saw him coming in here, and I, um...
02:15I wanted to tell him what I thought of him.
02:16This looks bad, right?
02:17This looks really bad.
02:17No, no, it's fine.
02:18It's fine.
02:18He won't say nothing.
02:20Why not?
02:21He's married.
02:22He ain't going to want to explain himself, is he?
02:24What if he does?
02:30Right, right.
02:32His phone.
02:34Right, we, uh, just need to make sure he keeps quiet.
02:37He has some leverage.
02:38Yeah, Zach.
02:39You're freaking me out of here.
02:40Relax, relax.
02:42There we go.
02:43Come on.
02:46Come on, mate.
02:47Come on.
02:48Wakey, wakey, that's it.
02:49I can't believe it myself, but we actually have a tie-break on our hands.
03:03Hey, Freddie, get yourselves up.
03:05Yeah, come on, let me come, come on.
03:06Get a tie-break.
03:07Come on, Freddie, go on.
03:09Don't let him beat you.
03:10No pressure, though.
03:11Alfie, mate, I just don't get how we got beat.
03:14I mean, we dropped four, maybe five points at times.
03:16Okay, you're team one.
03:18You're a quiz genius and everyone bows down to you.
03:21But take it, go on.
03:22Even though it's a charity.
03:23Take charity.
03:24And then, shh, because we're doing some of you.
03:26Oh, I won't.
03:27Yeah.
03:27Okay.
03:28I'll do it.
03:29All right, all right.
03:29Okay.
03:30Freddie and Anna.
03:32Yeah, the friends now.
03:34Yay!
03:35This round...
03:37This round we call the lovebird round.
03:41Come on.
03:41We are going to play you some bird recordings recorded right out in the square.
03:46And the first person who names three birds correctly is the winner.
03:51Hey, come on.
03:52Maestro?
03:56Robin.
03:56Definitely a Robin.
03:58That is a blue tit.
04:00Yes.
04:01A blackbird in there?
04:02Tiff chat?
04:03Come on, one more, one more.
04:06I got it on.
04:06Yes!
04:07Yeah!
04:09Oh, my God.
04:11Okay, mate.
04:16Easy does it.
04:19What happened to me?
04:20Where am I?
04:20You, uh, took a little tumble and chipped over that bench.
04:28No, I didn't trick.
04:30I was crazy.
04:31Get your hands off me!
04:32She said you fell.
04:34Yeah, I know what happened.
04:35And you're going to pay for...
04:36You need to...
04:37All right, I'll tell you...
04:41I'll tell you how we settled it.
04:42I...
04:42It's all calmed down.
04:46How about we call your wife?
04:49Hey?
04:49My phone.
04:52Where's my phone?
04:53Hmm.
04:53Oh, you...
04:55I'm too...
04:56Give it to me!
04:58I'm warning you!
04:58You need to behave!
05:00Because I've been through that.
05:02Yeah.
05:03I'll tell you now, you're a bit of a lad, aren't you?
05:06You're married and you've got secret folders for dating apps and saucy photos to you now.
05:12Even I'm blushing.
05:14You had no right.
05:16No.
05:16I did it anyway.
05:20I'm taking screenshots.
05:22And I reckon I've got enough on there to blow your life apart.
05:26What do you want?
05:29Me?
05:30I...
05:30I just want to make sure you're all right.
05:34Now, after your fall.
05:35Yeah.
05:43I'm good.
05:46Good.
05:49Okay.
05:52Yeah?
05:56Okay.
06:00Don't test me, yeah?
06:01Because I will destroy you.
06:05Now, do us all a favour and go and do your sleazing well away from here.
06:08Come on.
06:23Come here.
06:24You all right?
06:25Oh, thank you so, so much.
06:30It's a joke.
06:31Someone died.
06:32I do know that.
06:33How can you look your kids in the eye when you know he's still wrecked?
06:36Do you realise what you've done, eh?
06:38You could ruin our chances to adopt.
06:39It's just a misunderstanding, okay?
06:41I can't believe that any more than she does.
06:42So don't waste your breath, lovely, all right?
06:44Please, please.
06:45No, I can't believe I was defending you earlier.
06:47Please, Sucky, don't stand there judging me, okay?
06:50Look, you ain't no saint.
06:51Yeah, that's right.
06:52I've made mistakes.
06:53But for the sake of my marriage, for the love of my wife,
06:57I am trying to be a better person.
06:59Right?
06:59And maybe you might want to try to do the same.
07:01Look, Sucky...
07:02No!
07:03If you ruin our chances,
07:06if you get in the way of our happiness,
07:10we're going to have a problem.
07:14And you...
07:16stop being a mug.
07:22She's right.
07:22There is no misunderstanding.
07:27I know when you're lying.
07:30Last chance, to be honest with me.
07:34Okay.
07:38Okay.
07:41Look, Priya, I want to get out of all of this.
07:44I do.
07:44But right now, it's business as usual.
08:08Listen, don't you think you've had enough of it?
08:09Well, I've had enough of everything.
08:11Come on, don't say that, please.
08:12No, it's...
08:13Come on.
08:15No, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, okay?
08:17I just, um...
08:18I just need to sleep, all right?
08:22You go.
08:23No.
08:24No.
08:27You know you can talk to me about this, yeah?
08:31You really want to know all the messed up things
08:33that are going on in my head?
08:34Well, I'm pretty sure I just broke a load of laws
08:35trying to protect you, so yeah.
08:39I'm listening.
08:40No, I'm going to kill him, Zach.
08:47Couple of months.
08:49Months?
08:49That's all it's going to be.
08:52Now, Priya, you can't just walk away from this world.
08:54If you really wanted to, you could.
08:57I've told you how dangerous these people are.
09:00What, you saying you can't handle yourself?
09:02Priya, there's not much you can do
09:03when someone's pointing a gun in your face.
09:04Yeah, I get that, Raph.
09:05But it's not like you're some pathetic kid
09:07at the bottom of the rung, you're a player.
09:08Yeah, and I'm trying to be smart about this.
09:11Look, I just, I do them a few favours, yeah?
09:14And ease my way out.
09:15At least then no-one asks any questions
09:16and no-one makes any threats.
09:17This is what happened before.
09:19You did one thing and then another
09:20and then before you know it, you were trapped.
09:22Why is this going to be any different?
09:23I said I wanted out a few months ago, yeah?
09:25This is what they sent me.
09:32That is not just a threat.
09:33That's a promise if I just walk away.
09:37Priya, you said you wanted the truth.
09:39This is it.
09:40And I'm sorry, okay?
09:43But this is the way it's got to be.
09:44Okay.
09:49Fine.
09:50Fine.
09:50Fine.
09:50Fine.
09:50Fine.
09:50Fine.
09:50Fine.
09:50Fine.
09:52Fine.
09:52Fine.
09:52Fine.
09:55Fine.
10:03You okay?
10:05What was that even about?
10:07Nothing's changed.
10:09He's still dealing.
10:23Where did mum go?
10:24Work.
10:29I was looking through some old photos earlier.
10:31You, me and Dad.
10:33Thought maybe we could print some out.
10:35He's allowed that, right?
10:37In his, um...
10:38In his, you know...
10:40Inside.
10:43I guess.
10:44What, you guess he's allowed, or guess we should do it?
10:49Don't know.
10:52What is wrong with this family?
10:53I might have to find a pub quiz with stronger competition.
11:11Anything to say?
11:12Oh, yeah.
11:13Um, congratulations, guys.
11:17You know, it just hit me out of nowhere.
11:18Garden warblers.
11:19I know.
11:20I nearly said chip chap again.
11:21I was so nervous.
11:22So, this bird thing, it ain't like a kink or a you speak that ain't understanding.
11:39It's actually birds.
11:40It's just birds.
11:41Normal flying, tweeting birds.
11:43Okay.
11:44Well, these are the facts.
11:45Neither of you are ever, and I mean ever, gonna find anyone more suited to you.
11:50So, cut out the coy smiles.
11:51Get yourselves on a proper date.
11:53You know I'm down.
11:54Um, yeah.
11:55Yeah.
11:56If you don't want it, then we don't have to.
11:57No, no.
11:58No, I do.
11:59I really do.
12:00Finally.
12:01Last orders.
12:02Making all effort and cheap.
12:03Whatever all that stuff was, hopefully, it's all behind us now.
12:05Hey.
12:19You know, I saw all the signs in jail that an attitude towards women that was getting
12:26out of control, and I tried to shut it down, but it's just such a huge problem.
12:31And now, I don't know.
12:34I see it everywhere.
12:36Listen, Nicky.
12:39I, um, I've probably bought a girl a double instead of a single in a house.
12:45I wouldn't anymore.
12:47Of course.
12:48Uh, that's progress.
12:49Is it?
12:50No, I'm with you.
12:51The geezer, he's a scumbag and he deserves everything he got.
12:54What if he does go to the police?
12:55I've made sure he won't.
12:57I thought I'd killed him.
12:58I...
12:59I...
13:00You know, Joel would've loved that.
13:04Would've seen it as a victory.
13:09Me behaving the way he behaved.
13:12No, you are not Joel.
13:13Why not Joel?
13:14Yes, but he is in my head.
13:16Zach.
13:20And now I've got to face him again.
13:22I'm cool.
13:24Hey, hey, hey, hey.
13:25Monkey, do you want to get off the counter?
13:27You've had, you've had your dinner.
13:28Oh.
13:31Hey, Zoe, sweet.
13:32I just wanna say, listen, I know I've been really tough on you lately.
13:34It's only because I've been struggling with everything that's been going on lately.
13:37But, credit where it's due, what you did for the Fredster tonight was really cool, alright?
13:42I don't believe it.
13:44It started again.
13:46What are you talking about?
13:47Someone's gone online and review bombed this place.
13:49That's why it was quiet tonight.
13:51Why won't they just leave me alone?
13:57Here you are.
13:58I had no power.
14:06No control.
14:10I was just lying there on that kitchen floor and he, he, he could have done anything to me.
14:17He made me weak.
14:20No, he didn't.
14:21And think about my mum.
14:24My nan.
14:26How they would have been so strong and brave.
14:30You're brave.
14:31You are brave.
14:32Well, not like my nana Pauline.
14:33She was a different breed, she was.
14:36Different class.
14:42Oh, Zach, I don't want him to have this hold over me.
14:44Then let it out.
14:46I don't wanna be pathetic.
14:48What is pathetic about that?
14:51Oh.
15:05I got so lucky tonight.
15:08Could have been so much worse.
15:13And I'm so, so sorry, Zach.
15:16It's done.
15:17It's done.
15:18Come here.
15:22This is so blatant.
15:25They're trying to get into her head.
15:28I know, Cap, but all the other stuff that was like bigger, creepier, you know, in your face, but this, I...
15:33No, it's, it's mind games.
15:35No, just when she thinks she's in the clear, they do this.
15:38A little reminder they haven't gone away and they could strike any minute.
15:41It's what stalkers do.
15:43Are you alright, darling?
15:44No, I ain't.
15:45Every single time I try and move on, I get dragged back in.
15:48What?
15:50Well, I'm just, I'm just curious as to why you even wanna look at this particular website.
15:55Oh, tell me you don't think I did this.
15:57Yeah, I'm just trying to find an explanation for it all, so...
16:01Look, some random number sent me a link to that site. Check my phone.
16:03No, it's just, it's not as if you haven't sent messages to yourself before.
16:08Come on, Alfie.
16:09I'm just saying, alright?
16:10Please believe me, cos there is some weirdo out there doing this.
16:12Yeah, I know.
16:13Yeah, well, he don't. I can tell by his face.
16:15No, Zoe, I care, okay? I'm worried. I just, I'm just trying to make sense of it all, okay?
16:20So what's it gonna take? Me to end up dead? Cos that's where this is heading.
16:23I've just sent a message to Robin. I tried to pass it off as a lover's tooth.
16:40Right, so...
16:43You don't remember the bit where he said no surprises down the line?
16:46You know what? It isn't even about the assessment tonight.
16:54So, say we're given the opportunity to be parents and we've got a child together in this house.
17:05What sort of environment do you want him to grow up in?
17:09Uh, one filled with love and support and a load of laughs or...
17:14One way we've got a drug dealer under our roof.
17:23Like if we want this, we have to start butting ourselves and our potential family first.
17:38No.
17:44We'll call an ambulance.
17:46We'll call an ambulance.
17:55He's dead, Dad.
17:59I killed him.
18:14I see it in her eyes. It's real trauma.
18:23Yeah, okay, I know. I've seen the battle scars. I ain't denying that.
18:25No, I'm on her side, yeah? There's no need for her to keep making stuff up.
18:29I know, but that's you, Rhianna. What's she doing?
18:30No, will you stop it, alright? I believe her. She's my daughter.
18:33That should be enough for you and all now. I've had enough of talking about this.
18:35We've got a pump to clear up.
18:37Right, that's it, everyone. Finish up.
18:39Where's Zach? He's meant to be in for closing.
18:41You haven't heard from me or Vicky, have you?
18:43What? Text and call, but nothing.
18:50Oh, er, me and Vicky, we went on a road trip.
18:54Through the outback.
18:56Wind is down, 30 degree heat.
18:58Singing this at the top of our voices.
18:59I've completely out of tune.
19:01The music was so loud, we didn't know this.
19:03We did, but it didn't matter.
19:06You really love her, didn't you?
19:10But Joel's always going to be my son.
19:12And, er, he's refusing to accept what he did.
19:16You're going to let him do that?
19:18What choice have I got?
19:19You're still his dad, aren't you? Talk to him.
19:25I reckon there are any truly decent guys out there.
19:30Do you want me to speak for all men?
19:32Hmm.
19:34Hidden dating app in his phone.
19:38Scumbag.
19:42In a minute.
19:44You knew where to find it.
19:47And what?
19:49Hidden dating apps for cheating husbands.
19:51I didn't even know that existed, and there you are.
19:54Hacking it open.
19:55And I heard about it at the gym, something about changing icons, something like that.
19:59Have you ever heard one while you've been in a relationship?
20:02No, of course not, that ain't me.
20:04But you've got a dating app.
20:06But...
20:08Give me your phone, I want to see your phone call.
20:09No, what are you talking about? Definitely not.
20:11Not a chance. No, no chance.
20:12I want to see it.
20:13No chance. No.
20:14Come on, I want to see the pictures.
20:15No chance.
20:16Dead stuff.
20:19What are you doing?
20:22You looked out for me tonight.
20:26I liked it.
20:27Dead.
20:45All right, sorry.
20:49It was a bit of a disagreement.
20:51Okay?
20:52But your mum was right to be angry at me.
20:55Are you actually going to say what this is about?
20:58It's just everything.
21:01What I did and how I let you all down.
21:04And your mum, she's going to find it hard to trust me again.
21:09You all are.
21:11Now start telling us the truth.
21:15And...
21:16There's something we need to discuss.
21:24Look, there's no easy way of saying this.
21:26Um...
21:28I know you want to change, Ravi, and I hope you do.
21:32But we are serious about this adoption.
21:37And having you living under this roof...
21:39puts all of that in jeopardy.
21:42You want me to live?
21:43You want me to live.
21:46Are you surprised?
21:49Are you for real?
21:51Oh, but trouble follows him.
21:52You know it does.
21:53Yeah, but what about you?
21:54No, not Varnie.
21:55Socky's right.
21:58We'll be gone by tomorrow.
22:00Yeah.
22:04I shouldn't have let myself in, all right, but...
22:06Sharon gave me a key for emergencies and Harvey told me what happened in the pub.
22:09Why, it's a moment of madness that Sharon absolutely does not need to know about.
22:12Look, it's none of my business.
22:14Look, it was a spur-of-the-moment thing.
22:16Just come out of nowhere, Kath.
22:17Silly, it was a stupid kiss.
22:18No, it's fine.
22:19All right, honestly, it...
22:21it's fine.
22:22Although, I will say this, though.
22:23I mean, I have had your mum and Sharon on the phone.
22:25They are both really worried about you.
22:27Oh, it's all right.
22:28I said, don't worry, I'm here.
22:30And Zach's keeping a close eye on her.
22:32Why are you saying it like that, Kath?
22:33Because she needs your support right now.
22:35And I don't think they're expecting you to go sticking your tongue down her throat.
22:38Well, I'm not that vulnerable.
22:39I didn't know what I was doing.
22:40She's having a good time till you, Waltie.
22:42Really?
22:43Really?
22:44Yeah.
22:45Oh, well, that's all right.
22:46Then I'm glad you think it's so funny.
22:48Cos I tell you what, we'll give Sharon a call, shall we?
22:50Tell her the happy news.
22:51No, exactly.
22:52I thought not, cos you know full well she'd hit the roof.
22:54Yeah.
22:55Oh, no.
22:56And it won't happen again.
22:57I've just wanted to be there for her.
23:00Listen, erm...
23:01I'll get you later.
23:04Sorry, Claire.
23:08Look, Vicky, I'm sorry, all right?
23:09You're a grown woman.
23:10No, it's fine.
23:11I-I understand why you're worried, and...
23:14You know what?
23:15It was a bit reckless.
23:16And it ain't gonna happen again.
23:18But for what it's worth,
23:21I was a mess,
23:23and he came good for me.
23:25Okay, well...
23:27I won't say anything to Sharon, all right?
23:29But...
23:30Everything you've been through,
23:32and where your head's at right now,
23:33you don't need it.
23:34Oh, I know, I know.
23:35I understand.
23:37Oh, well, I'll get that.
23:38And, er...
23:39I'll see myself out, all right?
23:40And you...
23:42You take care, yeah?
23:43Yeah.
23:50Is, er, Vicky still up?
23:51Er...

24:00Yeah, I just needed some air.

24:06Actually, I am really worried, but...
24:08I'm done arguing.
24:10Right.
24:11Anyway, goodnight, sweetheart.
24:12I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?
24:13Goodnight.
24:14I'll see you tomorrow.
24:15Goodnight.
24:16I don't need anyone protecting me.
24:35I don't need anyone protecting me, checking in on me, looking out for me, even.
24:49That's not what I'm doing. Honestly.
24:51So why are you here, Ross?
24:55Because I haven't done enough.
24:58And what Joel did today in court, pleading not guilty, that is not on.
25:01Right, that is not fair on you.
25:03Are you trying to tell me something I don't know?
25:04I'm just... I'm just telling her that I'm going to go and see him and I'm going to talk to him properly
25:10and I'm going to do everything I can to make sure he changes his mind.
25:13OK.
25:16Just...
25:17I thought you'd want to know.
25:22If I'm honest with you, Ross, that is the least I would expect from you.
