00:00They'll realize that Mercedes shot Tony Hutchinson.
00:04Seems to be settling in really well.
00:06Little James has been through a lot.
00:08I want you to come with me because I love you.
00:11Maybe this will be the answer to all my problems.
00:13Who are you talking to?
00:14I wasn't talking to anybody.
00:30Cleo.
00:52We really need to talk about this.
00:57You will look for me, you will look for me.
01:04I'll be gone, I'll be gone.
01:10I'll be gone.
01:12I am sorting it.
01:14You owe me, son.
01:16I'll be gone.
01:20I'll be gone.
01:23Was that your dears?
01:26Well?
01:31Oh, yeah, I'm great.
01:32Thanks for asking.
01:33He's been chatting to a girl who I reckon might be pretty into me.
01:36And I think I might be.
01:38Right, straight to business then.
01:42So, the dress you salvaged isn't exactly the smoking gun you're after.
01:47No gunshot residue, no leverage.
01:49Assuming that's what you wanted it to be.
01:51Are you sure?
01:52The sciences, yeah.
01:53And forensics weren't exactly onto a winner.
01:55Were they the charred bit of fabric in a hunch from a scorned lover though, were they?
01:59Scorned lover might be pushing it.
02:01Still, I'd rather be that than whatever this is.
02:04I'll keep hold of the dress anyway.
02:06Our little secret.
02:08Warren really got to you, didn't he?
02:10But is shunting his baby mama out the picture about you having him?
02:14Or hurting him?
02:15Maybe both.
02:16Maybe neither.
02:18Maybe.
02:19Go fix your old man a coffee before he wakes up.
02:23He's up and out already.
02:24Doing a job for me.
02:26But that's our little secret.
02:28Froggy said you were going to let the mixed situation lie.
02:31You better had.
02:34Anyway, I've got an interview to get ready for.
02:37Oh, and Sully.
02:39No one gets to me.
02:43I get to people.
02:45Remember that.
02:47They're just notes, Sienna.
02:49How much I pumped, when I last did it.
02:51It's a lot to remember.
02:52Sorry I don't have it all figured out.
02:53Okay, but last night I was just talking to myself, thinking out loud.
02:56I can't stop worrying about him.
02:58It's a lot.
02:59Yeah, it is a lot.
03:00But it's our lot.
03:02And the baby's going to be home soon.
03:04So if you don't want to talk to me, then maybe you could talk to somebody else.
03:07Yeah, I am going to go talk to somebody else.
03:09On my own.
03:15Where's she going?
03:16I don't know.
03:17But I think that there's something wrong with her.
03:19Right, just watch the walk straight across it, of course.
03:22Hang on a minute.
03:23All right.
03:24Who is he?
03:25Ready to live.
03:26And when can I kill him?
03:27Murder jokes.
03:28Bit too soon, Dad.
03:29Right, well we've been through this dance with Jacob, so sit down.
03:31Won't take long.
03:32What?
03:33Age.
03:34Older than you would like.
03:35Okay, we'll circle back to that.
03:36Job.
03:37Job.
03:38Job.
03:39Really?
03:40Yeah.
03:41Local.
03:42He is now.
03:43Dodger?
03:44No.
03:45No.
03:46Dad.
03:47No.
03:48All right, is it serious?
03:49Not yet.
03:50Oh, have you, you know.
03:51Stop.
03:52Name?
03:53Sully.
03:54Froggy's son?
03:55Yeah.
03:56No.
03:57No.
03:58I wasn't asking.
03:59Well, I'm still telling you.
04:00Dad.
04:01He's nice.
04:02He's mature.
04:03He's gracious, whatever he is, okay?
04:04You're not going within a mile of him again, all right?
04:05Really?
04:06Well, what about me?
04:07Nancy!
04:08I'm supposed to be picking you up.
04:09Oh, yeah.
04:10You sounded so stressed on the phone, trying to make a mistake.
04:12You're not going within a mile of him again, all right?
04:15Really?
04:16Well, what about me?
04:17Nancy!
04:18I'm supposed to be picking you up.
04:19Oh, yeah.
04:20You sounded so stressed on the phone, trying to make a mistake.
04:25I'm stressed on the phone, trying to make this place presentable.
04:27So here I am.
04:28So, shall we take this interrogation on the road?
04:31Let's go.
04:34I really struggled when the twins were born.
04:38And when Lib had faith, she had postpartum psychosis.
04:41And I'm just really worried that Cleo is suffering way more than any of us realise.
04:46You think I'm overreacting?
04:49I think that not long ago we both had an opportunity to follow our instinct, and we didn't.
04:54So if we have a little voice now telling us that something's really wrong, I think we
04:59should do something.
05:00I promised myself I'd steer clear of this wound once I got out.
05:05But we'll always settle it despite my advice to the contrary.
05:10Nothing leads back to me or Sully.
05:13Mercedes.
05:14What, Mercedes?
05:15Why do you keep running away from me?
05:20Look, what I saw in your eyes yesterday, I recognised it.
05:26It was guilt.
05:28Because I feel guilty too.
05:31For fearing that the man I love may never truly come back to me.
05:36And I think yesterday you got scared that Tony may never come back too.
05:41So just tell me the truth.
05:43Mercedes, are you in love with him?
05:45Miss Bar, sorry to jump on you like this.
05:50Er, look, it's James.
05:54Look, I really miss him so if I could just have five minutes with him so I could tell him
05:57that, just so he can hear me voice.
05:59He was placed in our care for a reason, Stee.
06:02And it's only temporary.
06:04I'm just following the rules.
06:06If I don't, James might end up with neither of us.
06:09I'm already asking for five minutes.
06:11You can even sit there while I see him.
06:13I can see you're hurting, but we have to write this out and follow the proper channels.
06:19I've already put in a good word with you because I know...
06:22You don't know anything!
06:23With your perfect family and your fancy job, you've got no idea.
06:26Oh, I have every idea.
06:29Hello, brave little man.
06:31I'm trying so hard to be your mummy.
06:35They're all against me, you know.
06:38Sienna.
06:39The family.
06:41Even some of these nurses and doctors in here.
06:44They don't think I can do it.
06:47They don't think I'm capable.
06:49It's my first time.
06:53I thought I'd be really good at it.
06:55My perfect family's been ravaged by secrets and lies
06:59and there's nothing fancy about watching people suffer, believe me.
07:03I can't sleep.
07:06I've got to stay awake either.
07:08I can't even feed you.
07:11I've got to give you a name.
07:14It's just something.
07:19It's just all been so loud and dark in my head.
07:22I am not the problem here.
07:28I never have been.
07:31And now Dodger's offered to open a door into the peace.
07:35And the quiet.
07:37He's asking me to walk through it.
07:39So will you tell me what to do?
07:46I thought it would be enough to love you.
07:49But is it?
07:53Do you tell me what to do?
07:58He doesn't deserve any of this.
08:01He doesn't.
08:02He really doesn't.
08:04I'm better off without you, Mummy.
08:08I'm better off with them.
08:10That beautiful, innocent little boy.
08:12He doesn't know where I've gone.
08:14And I'm lost without him.
08:16No.
08:17You're right.
08:19I failed Lucas.
08:21And now I've failed James as well.
08:24I've failed him.
08:25You failed me.
08:56Listen, you've been amazing these past few weeks.
09:00Oh, you've been a really good mate.
09:02You've been my only mate.
09:04And I'm sorry about the misunderstanding.
09:07Stop getting soppy on me, eh?
09:09I'll see you in a bit.
09:17Hey, Miss Bear.
09:19You okay?
09:21Erm, isn't that the wife of the guy that got shot and had a stroke?
09:25Yeah.
09:26Diane.
09:27Yeah.
09:28We're not the only family around here adjusting to a new situation.
09:32And the rest.
09:33Just bumped into Mercedes on the way in.
09:36It looked like she'd been with Diane, but wasn't she?
09:39I'm not really one to gossip.
09:42But, erm, well...
09:45Tony's best friend was arrested for the shooting.
09:48And his alleged motive was that Tony had a fling with his wife, Nancy.
09:52I mean, Darren's been released, but no bridges have been built since.
09:57And even though Mercedes was carrying Tony's child,
10:02her and Diane have become thick as thieves.
10:06Not that I've given it much thought.
10:08Of course not.
10:10All rather juicy, isn't it?
10:12I'm gonna introduce myself to Diane.
10:13She'll be seeing much more of me if I nail this interview.
10:20Diane.
10:21Gemini, isn't he?
10:22Donny's daughter.
10:23Mick's?
10:24Yeah.
10:25Have you got a second to speak in private?
10:27It's about your husband.
10:29If I should do.
10:30Clio.
10:31Look, no pressure at all.
10:32Sienna's part of our family now, and she's really worried about you, and we all love you so much, and...
10:45Clio, you are doing my Eddie.
10:48Sienna's part of our family now.
10:50See if you ever need to talk about anything.
10:53Eddie's nothing wrong with admitting when you're struggling.
10:55I mean, a new kid.
10:57That changes your whole life.
10:58Who cares, Mark?
10:59You are your baby.
11:00We're all here for you.
11:02Yeah.
11:03And if you don't think that we're equipped, that there are people...
11:07Stop following us.
11:08Right.
11:09Go talk to somebody else.
11:11Absolutely.
11:12If you need any help, if you've got questions...
11:15It's a baby, Clio.
11:16How can you not cope with that?
11:17Do you know what?
11:18We don't even love your...
11:20You're like a broken record, Clio.
11:22Give it to me.
11:23I can do it.
11:24I want you to come with me because...
11:26I love you.
11:27I love you.
11:28I love you.
11:29I love you.
11:30I'm not questioning anything anymore.
11:34I know what this is.
11:36And I know exactly what I need to do.
11:38So just stay away from me!
11:40Babe.
11:45I'm sorry I took so long.
11:47My answer's yes.
11:48Yes, my answer's yes.
11:51Clio.
11:55What are you doing?
11:56I'm leaving you.
11:58I'm sick of you judging me and thinking I can't do it.
12:00What?
12:01And I'm leaving the baby as well.
12:02I'm going to go somewhere where I'm going to be happy with somebody who actually understands me.
12:06No, wait.
12:07And what you said was true.
12:08I have failed him.
12:10So just please try and not fail him like I have.
12:12Clio, stop.
12:13Wait.
12:14Failed who?
12:15The baby!
12:16So you can have him while I'm gone to Emma.
12:19Which I know that's what you really wanted deep down.
12:22I'm going to go be free.
12:23I'm going to go meet him in the folly and we're going really far away.
12:28I'm leaving you for Dodger.
12:30Do you want me to go home?
12:31It felt like an exhibit in a museum.
12:32Everyone was staring at me.
12:33Not enough.
12:34OK, everyone.
12:35I know that you all think my husband shot Tony and he might have wanted to but he's not capable of something so terrible so he didn't.
12:54So if you've got anything you'd like to say, say it now or you can all stop staring at the man I love and go back to your drinks.
13:01Yeah?
13:02No?
13:03Cheers.
13:08Sorry, babe.
13:11It's possibly the cringiest thing you've ever done.
13:14It just makes me love you a little bit more.
13:18I know.
13:22You couldn't stay away from her, could you?
13:24You know, honestly, Mark, I thought that you were above stealing your own sister's girlfriend.
13:28And you might not mind destroying my happiness.
13:30But letting Cleo leave her baby, how could you?
13:33I've got a lot to apologise for, Sienna.
13:36And I know I've been distracted.
13:38I've been going through some stuff, alright?
13:42I know that you've been getting inside her head.
13:44I know that you're going to meet her at the folly.
13:46But do you know that you have been taking advantage of a woman, a new mother, who is in the grips of a mental health crisis?
13:51But she's not well, Mark.
13:55Are you going to say something?
13:57Maybe we should just take a leaf out of her book and just bury whatever is between us.
14:01Whatever.
14:02Works for me.
14:03Drinks are definitely on you.
14:08Congratulations, my girl.
14:10Yeah.
14:11Congratulations on the new gig.
14:14Go on.
14:16No.
14:17Don't make me do another spin.
14:18Alright.
14:19Go on.
14:20Hey.
14:23So, erm...
14:25You and my daughter, yeah?
14:27Erm...
14:28Just inviting you home tomorrow for some...
14:31Food.
14:32If you want.
14:33You know.
14:34Get to know you a bit.
14:35For Frankie, of course.
14:36Yeah?
14:44Cleo.
14:45I knew you'd come.
14:47Mum!
14:48I...
14:50I don't know what I'm doing here.
14:52What?
14:54Come on.
14:55Don't you come on.
14:57Don't you dare back out now.
14:59I'm leaving my son for you.
15:02What do you need proof?
15:03You need proof how serious I am about you.
15:05About us.
15:07Cleo.
15:08It's okay.
15:09You can have me.
15:10Wherever.
15:11Any time.
15:12Cleo.
15:13Stop it.
15:18No.
15:21You don't want me.
15:24Is it the baby or...
15:27My body's changed.
15:28No.
15:29No, no.
15:30I do want you.
15:31I did want you.
15:32I wanted someone like you for the longest time.
15:34My sister, she's...
15:40She's...
15:41dreamt of what she found with you her entire life.
15:47Come here.
15:51Cleo, right now, I think you're lost.
16:05And I am too.
16:09But Sienna, she's the one who can lead you out of this.
16:12So I need to step aside so that she can guide you home.
16:17Even if that means that I stay lost.
16:20Even if that means that I stay sad.
16:22It's just...
16:23It's just...
16:24It's just Broadway.
16:26But the baby monitor.
16:29Don't you, we've been talking.
16:31Do you remember?
16:32On your police radio.
16:34And...
16:35And we were...
16:36We...
16:38We...
16:40We...
16:42We were gonna escape.
16:44Oh, Cleo.
16:46Whatever, whoever you heard.
16:48It wasn't me.
16:52You love Sienna.
16:54Remember?
16:57Cleo.
17:04I need you to trust me.
17:09Okay?
17:10I only want what's best for you.
17:12I love you.
17:14We love you.
17:17But we think that you need some help.
17:20So please...
17:21Please will you come with us and let us get it for you?
17:23It's okay.
17:39It's gonna be okay.
17:44Bad time?
17:45Don't even go there.
17:46Try me.
17:47I'm a doctor.
17:48My cousin.
17:49She's just had a baby and she's having some issues and...
17:50I'm staying away because I'm a selfish cow.
17:51I know about what happened, Mercedes.
17:52The baby.
17:53That people talk.
17:54And from what I've seen, you are far from selfish.
17:55Or a cow.
17:57But to be honest, I wish I had a bit more of you about me.
18:00You alright?
18:01Yeah.
18:02The prescription.
18:03Just to take the edge off.
18:06All good?
18:08Yeah.
18:09The only thing I don't care about is that she's got a selfish cow.
18:11I know about what happened, Mercedes.
18:12The baby.
18:13The baby.
18:14The people talk.
18:15And from what I've seen, you are far from selfish.
18:16Or a cow.
18:18To be honest, I wish I heard a bit more of you about me.
18:21You alright?
18:23Yeah.
18:24The prescription.
18:25Just to take the edge off.
18:27All good?
18:28Yeah.
18:29They're all good.
18:34I promise you, Cleo, we're not gonna get through this.
18:37I love you, I love our baby, and I've got you.
18:45Thank you for meeting us. Of course.
18:48Cleo, you know, from everything I've seen or been told,
18:53I believe you're experiencing postpartum psychosis.
18:58Hello, mate. Didn't think we'd forgotten your regular bulletin, did you?
19:02Oh, you did? Well, let me remind you.
19:05You're a weak pathetic runt, but we can't trust to have our backs.
19:09Because you can't even protect yourself.
19:11And I bet you squealed like a pig.
19:16We have specialists, doctors and nurses on the mental health unit
19:20who can confirm this, and they can offer you support.
19:24You just need to come with me.
19:26No, no, no, don't let them do this to me.
19:29I love you.
19:30And you told me you love me, I know you still do.
19:33You're just scared of her.
19:34Oh, Cleo, Cleo, Cleo, please.
19:36Cleo.
19:38I love you.
19:39I love you.
19:44It's okay.
19:45Come with me.
19:46You won't be up your own.
19:48You can sit down.
19:49Have a little chat.
19:50I love you.
19:51I love you.
20:00I love you.
20:03I love you.
