00:25Disposing of the evidence?
00:43I only got them because I was worried about you.
00:46Oh, right, I see. Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:49So, um, you did it for me, did you?
00:55What do you think people would say if I told them that my boyfriend
00:59had installed hidden cameras in our home?
01:04Hmm?
01:06Well, I think they'd say you were off your head and they'd be right.
01:10I don't like being spied on, do you understand me?
01:18Who's that?
01:20Said George, he said he'd come over in a bit.
01:23What's the talk?
01:25Right.
01:27Well, in that case, we, um,
01:29best stick to the story about last night, right?
01:34Yeah.
01:37Look, I know all couples have arguments.
01:39I've called Dev every name under the sun when we've had rows.
01:42I'm sure you and our paul had your fair share of them.
01:45And the rest.
01:46Yeah, but this sounded like more than a lover's tiff.
01:49How do you mean?
01:50Well, it was just a bit heated.
01:52That's all I'm saying.
01:53I just don't believe it.
01:57I don't believe Todd would purposely hurt Theo.
01:59He's not that sort of person.
02:01No.
02:02No, when it comes to that time, he hit Noah.
02:06Quite fancy doing it myself, as it happened.
02:08But he loves Theo.
02:10I know.
02:11But something went on last night, and whatever it was, it wasn't pleasant.
02:15Hiya.
02:28Hey.
02:29Oh, I thought you finished that ages ago.
02:31Yeah, well, perfection is never finished, Tim, and I thought it needed something a little
02:36bit extra.
02:37Well, how much did this lot cost?
02:39Perfection doesn't have a prize tag, either.
02:41Is that finally it, then, for the Christmas decorations?
02:43Yeah, you've been right, it is.
02:45You don't like them, do you?
02:46It's just a bit...
02:48Boring.
02:48Hey, steady on.
02:50Sally spent ages doing this, and it cost a small fortune.
02:53It just doesn't feel very Christmas-y.
02:55I mean, where's the inflatable snowman?
02:57And Santa and Rudolph?
02:58You always had them when you remember that.
03:02Oh, what?
03:03You don't think it's very festive?
03:05Because I thought it looked really nice.
03:07I didn't want to disappoint you.
03:09Oh, you haven't, honest.
03:11And besides, we're still going to have a much better Christmas than our mum.
03:14Oh, there they goes.
03:29As good as knew, that.
03:34What do you say?
03:44It's George.
03:47All right, well, let him in, then.
03:56Hey.
03:57What was your in?
04:06Hey.
04:07Hey, how you doing?
04:08Not interrupting, am I?
04:09No!
04:10We're just having a quiet morning in.
04:12Yeah?
04:13No dramas.
04:14We've learned our lesson.
04:16Haven't we?
04:17Yeah, no, that's sort of why I'm here, you know.
04:20Find out what happened.
04:21Because you were a little bit vague when I asked you to be in the hospital last night.
04:25I'm sorry.
04:27Well, we're sorry.
04:30Go on.
04:30Well, it was just a silly disagreement.
04:34We'd give each other a shove and exchange a few choice insults and I bumped into the coffee
04:40table and went over like a sack of shavings.
04:41And that was all?
04:42And that was all?
04:43That was all.
04:45I was a bit confused, you know, it looked worse than it was and, you know, then the police
04:51got the wrong end of the stick and, like I said, I'm sorry.
04:55Well, eh, as long as you're both okay, I suppose.
05:01Just to be embarrassed.
05:04You know.
05:04In fact, actually, we were talking and wondered if, um, we wondered if you and Christina might
05:09come for a bit of lunch as a way of apology.
05:12It was Todd's idea.
05:13I mean, only if you haven't already got the plans.
05:17No.
05:19No.
05:19Christina'd love that.
05:21Oh, great.
05:22One-ish.
05:23Yeah, grand.
05:24Yeah, I'll see you then.
05:26Right, erm, I'll show myself out.
05:28Yep.
05:29Ta-ra.
05:30Ta-ra.
05:32Bye, Josh.
05:38Sure about this?
05:40I wouldn't have said it otherwise.
05:41I can't even look a bit more lively when they get here.
05:46I feel like someone's died.
05:53Hello, my lover.
05:54Just checking in to see how you're doing.
05:57I'm all right.
05:59Looking forward to clocking off, having a few brewskis at the Christmas party later.
06:03Ah, yeah, well, that's, er, sort of why I'm calling you, actually.
06:07I've just got hold of me new dress, and I think you are really going to like it.
06:13Well, I like it better on the bedroom floor over there.
06:16Ooh, we'll have to wait and see, won't we, eh?
06:19You silver-toned devil, you.
06:23Listen, I've got to go.
06:24I've got to drop Tracy into town.
06:25OK, bye.
06:28Aren't you dropping off something else?
06:30Like a multi-story car park?
06:32What do you like?
06:33Always kidding around.
06:36I'm not joking.
06:38I would happily dance on that sour-faced cow's grave.
06:41Though I think I'd have to queue to do it.
06:43OK, bye now, bye.
06:46Sour-faced cow?
06:47I don't know why she's got it in for Rita.
07:06You know, OK?
07:08Great, ta.
07:09Oh, good.
07:10Now, I couldn't give him one, kids, to be honest with you.
07:12He's just something Roy likes us to ask.
07:15So, no school today?
07:16No, we've broken up for Christmas.
07:19Oh, back of the net.
07:21So, have you got any plans?
07:22Any parties to go to?
07:24You know, we used to have some banging parties when I was your age.
07:27Not that the neighbours thought so.
07:29Or the police.
07:30Or the fire brigade, but we had a right laugh.
07:33Er, no, I've not got any plans.
07:35Not that I've got many mates around here, so...
07:37It's pretty boring for me.
07:39Right.
07:40Well, you never know what might come up.
07:43Hmm.
07:46Hey, you.
07:48Oh, hello.
07:50I was just about to give you a call, see how you're getting on.
07:52You know me, living the dream.
07:54Well, you will be soon.
07:56Have you told anyone yet about the job?
07:59Well, if you mean my family, no, not yet.
08:02Why not?
08:02Because I want to tell them all together, but me dad was working away.
08:07Then when he got back, Michael was off visiting friends.
08:09I've just not made it have a chance.
08:11Not sure I'm going to break it to them, though.
08:13Especially James.
08:15Look, he sent me this about an hour ago.
08:18Well, I'm not going to lie.
08:19I wouldn't want to be in your shoes, but...
08:21Well, you've got to do what you've got to do.
08:23Yeah.
08:25Keep telling myself that.
08:27Don't make it any easier, though.
08:28What?
08:29No, you're right.
08:30I need to just bite the bullet.
08:32OK, we're going to find out sooner or later.
08:33Well, now's your chance.
08:36Good luck.
08:37Dad, hi.
08:38Can I have a word?
08:39Oh, I'm in a bit of a hurry, love.
08:40Debbie's desperate for me down at the Hotel Pronto.
08:43Is everything all right?
08:44Well, actually, I've just got some news.
08:48I've been offered a new job.
08:50Great law firm.
08:52Well, you kept that quiet.
08:53You haven't said a word.
08:54Honestly, I didn't know if I was actually going to take it,
08:56but the position is brilliant.
08:59The money's good and the cases I'll be doing.
09:03It's a chance to make a real difference,
09:05so I couldn't say no.
09:06That's brilliant.
09:07I'm really pleased for you.
09:08Thanks, Dad.
09:10It's just the thing is, it actually isn't...
09:13Oh, no, no.
09:14Listen, Debbie, listen, I've got to get a move on.
09:16Listen, I'll tell you what,
09:17I'll get the lads together and we'll celebrate this afternoon.
09:20Oh, no.
09:21We'll have a meal at the base street.
09:22No, no, no, Dad.
09:22There's no need to do all that.
09:23Well, come on, how often do we have a good reason to celebrate, eh?
09:27Dad.
09:27I've got to rush.
09:28See you later.
09:33Oh, George.
09:35Oh, hello, love.
09:36What can I do you for?
09:38Well, Billy and I were talking to Christina earlier
09:40about Theo and Todd
09:41and she said you were going to go and see them.
09:43Yeah, yeah, no, I did.
09:45And?
09:46Well, I think everything's pretty fine, to be honest with you.
09:50So it's just a bit of a daft, unfortunate accident, I think.
09:53So, um, so Todd didn't hurt him, he's not in trouble?
09:56No.
09:57Like I said, just an accident.
09:59OK.
10:00Well, I'm glad they're both OK.
10:02Thank you for letting me know.
10:03Yeah, yeah, any time.
10:04See you.
10:04Tera.
10:06Listen, love,
10:07I don't want you to think that I'm nebbing in or anything,
10:10but I heard what you were saying
10:11and I don't think it's as simple as that.
10:14What do you mean?
10:16Well, Summer and Billy were talking about it earlier in the cafe
10:18and I didn't want to say too much in front of her,
10:20but I heard Todd and Theo shouting at each other,
10:23you know, smashing things up,
10:25the works,
10:27and the flat was wrecked,
10:28bedroom door was hanging off,
10:30there was blood.
10:31See, I don't understand that
10:32because I spoke to them this morning
10:34and everything seemed fine.
10:35Yeah, well, sometimes people only show you
10:37what they want you to see, don't they?
10:40Look, I just think we should keep an eye on them,
10:42the power of them,
10:43you know, just to be on the safe side.
10:46Yeah, yeah, okay.
10:48Yeah, I'll do what I can.
10:49Yeah, me too.
10:51See you, love.
11:08So how did you get involved in the teaching malarkey?
11:11Oh.
11:12Um.
11:14Wow.
11:15Well, my dad's a teacher,
11:16was a teacher back in the day.
11:18I don't know,
11:18I think it was just something
11:19I was always kind of drawn to,
11:21working with inquiring minds.
11:24And it is genuinely rewarding
11:25when you do find a pupil
11:26that you can actually inspire,
11:28you know,
11:29and hopefully encourage them
11:30to fulfil their potential,
11:32make something of themselves.
11:36What about you?
11:37What?
11:38I'd end up running a pub.
11:40Oh.
11:42I just really like pubs.
11:44I see.
11:46Well, thanks.
11:49God help us all,
11:50but he's a bore and so-and-so.
11:52Those poor children.
11:54Cheers.
11:54Cheers.
11:55So, has your son
11:56told you what he wants
11:57from Father Christmas yet?
11:59You are kidding, right?
12:00Has he not stopped
12:01banging on about it since July?
12:03I think he might be a bit disappointed
12:05when there isn't an actual jet fighter
12:06outside of his window.
12:08It's still time to check eBay.
12:09Really?
12:09Do you think so?
12:11Right, I'm just going to go to the loo.
12:13See you in a sec.
12:18Why haven't you answered my text messages?
12:21What?
12:21I haven't checked my phone.
12:22What did they say?
12:23I was about meeting you.
12:24I was thinking we could go to the tracks.
12:25Well, OK.
12:27I'll have to finish up here first.
12:29You serious?
12:31Well, yeah, I can't just ditch it him.
12:32He's literally just bought me another drink.
12:35Promise, I'll make it up to you tomorrow.
12:38On your birthday.
12:41Deal?
12:42Deal.
12:43Well, give us a hand in the cellar, son, will you?
12:46What, now?
12:47No, next week.
12:49Yes, now.
12:50Oh, right, I'm coming.
12:56Oh, here we are.
12:58One tray.
12:58Come here, come here, come in.
12:59Hello, hello.
12:59Oh, you are looking gorgeous.
13:02He's punching, isn't he?
13:03Oh, absolutely.
13:04I hope you're over it.
13:06Lunch will be ready soon.
13:07Todd's gone a bit overboard at the old food shop.
13:10Well, I mean, I can take some of it back.
13:11It's from Dev's.
13:12I've got all the receipts.
13:13I'm only joking.
13:14Cool.
13:16Now, listen, before we start dishing up,
13:18George, Todd, has something he would like to say to you?
13:23Yeah.
13:25I just wanted to say I'm sorry that we fell out of the way that we did.
13:31I appreciate that, mate.
13:33Listen, so am I.
13:35Well, I can vouch for that, I tell you what.
13:37This one, you've sort of faced like a wet weekend ever since it happened, haven't you, love?
13:41I tell you what, somebody should get their heads and knock them together.
13:44Oh, I know, I wasn't.
13:45No, no, we're fine.
13:47Yeah, I'm fine, we're fine.
13:48Yeah.
13:48Yeah, we're fine, aren't we?
13:50Yeah.
13:51Never better.
13:52Apart from him getting under his feet, you know,
13:54I'd land, all that.
13:55Oh, well.
13:57I don't know, if only he had something to keep him busy, I don't know.
14:00Like, um, ooh, a job.
14:02If that's your less than subtle way of wondering if I'd like to have him back at work,
14:07then the answer is yes.
14:09Well.
14:09In a heartbeat.
14:11As if you want to.
14:14I mean, we could probably do with the extra money.
14:18So what do you say?
14:21Are you sure it won't be weird after everything he says yes?
14:25Yay!
14:26Oh.
14:39Right, I'm going to get off soon.
14:41Already?
14:41Yeah, I forgot I had a training session with Will.
14:43Sorry.
14:45Oh, right.
14:46Okay, then.
14:48Well, I guess I'll just stay here, have another drink and drown my sorrows.
14:52Don't be so dramatic.
14:53Mm.
14:57Hey, can I get another one in there when you get a sec, please?
14:59I'm with you in a minute, mate.
15:04Megan tells me that you've got a training session with her now.
15:07Yeah.
15:09From what I hear, she's a good coach.
15:11She is.
15:13The best.
15:16You do know that that's all she is, though, right?
15:19What?
15:23I've seen you looking at her.
15:25I don't blame you.
15:26She's an attractive woman.
15:29I just don't want to see you get hurt.
15:31Hurt?
15:32Look, right, I don't know what you're talking about.
15:33Just get out of me face.
15:35I don't think so, lad.
15:37You're underage.
15:38No, I just wanted a word with Will.
15:40Me?
15:41About what?
15:42Bernie.
15:43You know, works in the cafe, and she seems to think me and you are in need of some mates.
15:47So, she gave us 20 quid, and she said I should ask you if you fancy doing something.
15:51Bit weird.
15:52Yeah, I know she is.
15:54But still, funny squid, though.
15:57Well, I can't, mate.
15:58I've got training.
15:59Yeah.
16:00Why don't I come along and we do something after, mate?
16:02I won't bother, mate.
16:03It gets slightly boring.
16:04Don't be daft.
16:06It's not like you've got mates coming out of your ears, is it?
16:09And I'm sure Megan wouldn't mind.
16:11Who's Megan?
16:12Me coach.
16:13Oh.
16:14Does she run as well?
16:16No.
16:17P.
16:18Quite a lot to watch that.
16:19How is everything?
16:26Absolutely divine.
16:29In fact, I may have to help myself to seconds.
16:32There's a little whiz in the kitchen, isn't he?
16:34Might have to put a ring on it at some point.
16:36Hey.
16:38Speaking of nuptials, are you two going to Debbie and Ronnie's wedding?
16:42I heard she's got to invite as many people as she can, and it's something to do with,
16:45like, a minimum guest policy or something.
16:48You'd be very welcome.
16:50We've actually already been invited.
16:51Oh.
16:52Yeah, yeah, we thought we'd get a hotel for the night, didn't we?
16:54We've done some quality time together.
16:55Oh, we could certainly do with that.
16:59Get a cloth.
17:01It's okay, Luke.
17:01No, no, it's all right.
17:02It's all big.
17:02You can't do it, aren't you?
17:04I don't know what's wrong with me.
17:05I'm just really clumsy at the moment.
17:07Oh, and I'm the one who went over the coffee table last night, eh?
17:10Yeah, no, I was going to ask you about that last night.
17:13You said it was a drunken accident.
17:15Yeah, because it was.
17:18Yeah, no, it's just that, um, I was talking to Bernie,
17:21and she said she heard you two shouting, and it was pretty bad.
17:25And then when she came up here, she said the flat was a total mess.
17:28Furniture upended and doors hanging off hinges.
17:32That doesn't sound like an accident to me.
17:37Well, I might have underplayed it a bit, you know,
17:40because I didn't want to worry you.
17:41Didn't want to worry anyone, you know, but...
17:44Uh, I mean, I came on pretty hammered,
17:47so it's, you know, it's a bit hazy, but, um...
17:50Yeah, Todd was pretty upset.
17:52You know, it's like I said.
17:54I got back, we fell out.
17:57He lost it.
17:59Said some pretty hurtful things,
18:01and then I fell, I must have banged my head on the coffee table
18:05and knocked myself out, and then I must have slammed the door,
18:06but I don't remember that.
18:08But, um, it was all an accident.
18:12Oh, yeah?
18:13Yeah.
18:13Yeah, no, it was a drunken row.
18:15And Todd was very apologetic,
18:17and I'm going out of the wagon for a bit anyway, so...
18:20Yeah.
18:20Oh, I've forgotten about water under the bridge.
18:24Yeah, fair enough.
18:25Yeah.
18:25Talk about a stupid, mouthy slapper.
18:38Oh, hello, Tracy.
18:40What's that?
18:41The title of your new autobiography you're working on.
18:44Give me one reason why I shouldn't smack you right in the chops.
18:48How about if you did,
18:51I'd punch you so hard your feelings would rattle?
18:53Oh, really?
18:54Oh, I know.
18:55And do you also know
18:56that while you were slagging me off to that saddo boyfriend of yours,
19:02I heard every word.
19:03Oh, that's good.
19:04Cos I meant every word.
19:06Now do on, Tracy.
19:07I'm busy.
19:11Hello, streetcars.
19:14Yeah, yeah, of course.
19:15Yes, OK.
19:22OK.
19:25OK, then we'll be there in five minutes.
19:32I don't think this is a good idea.
19:34You want to get Mum something she likes for Christmas, don't you?
19:37Yeah.
19:38Then do what we talked about.
19:40Come on.
19:40Can I have this, please?
19:46Yeah, of course you can.
19:51Whoopsie, Sally.
19:52Don't worry about it.
19:54I'll help you pick it up.
20:00I think something fell in your bag there, lovey.
20:04Run.
20:04Run.
20:04Did you see what it was about?
20:10It's meeting up.
20:11I will let her explain when she gets it up.
20:14Here she is.
20:15Oh, bang on time.
20:17Not.
20:18Sorry.
20:18I'm late.
20:20Thank you for coming.
20:21Thank you for coming.
20:22All right.
20:32So, what's going on?
20:34She's starting to feel a bit weird.
20:36Yeah, Dad said you had some news for us, but he didn't say what.
20:39I thought you'd prefer to explain.
20:41I was telling Dad earlier that, um, I've been offered a new job with a really great firm.
20:51You know, the position's amazing, and the work.
20:55It's so important, guys.
20:57You know, the kind of thing you really believe in, you know?
21:01Sweet.
21:01Yeah, congratulations.
21:02Thanks.
21:05But, um, well, the thing is, it isn't actually here.
21:10The position's in Singapore.
21:14Singapore?
21:15How's that going to work?
21:16Are you going to travel back and forth most weekends or what?
21:21No, we'll, um...
21:23We will have to move there.
21:27We?
21:30Me and Leila.
21:40You know what?
21:41I'm impressed.
21:41You're dead fast.
21:43Yeah, he's a very talented athlete.
21:45Lots of potential for Graham.
21:46Yeah.
21:47He's got a good coach and all.
21:51PHONE RINGS
21:51Er, sorry, let me just get this.
21:55Hi, Daniel.
21:58So?
21:58We going into town?
22:00No, mate.
22:01Some other time.
22:02Come on, don't be a wuss.
22:04Nah, Mum, I'm just not in the mood.
22:06No, no, I just got back.
22:08Say that again, sorry.
22:12Yeah.
22:14You know what?
22:15I'm starting to see why you've got no mates.
22:18What's that supposed to mean?
22:19Because you're flaming dough, that's why.
22:21I'd rather take her out into town.
22:23At least she's a laugh, unlike you, you boring...
22:25Are you up your head?
22:27Hey, hey, what are you doing?
22:28What's going on?
22:29Turn out, then.
22:34All right, turn out.
22:37See you.
22:41Well, that was nice.
22:44Although, you wouldn't know about your face, what's up, were you?
22:50It's just what you said about last night, that I had a go at you first.
22:54Oh, you did?
22:55No, I didn't.
22:57Are you calling me a liar now?
22:58That's not what happened.
23:01You started on me because I took too long at the shops.
23:06And then when I realised you'd been tracking me, and I challenged you on that,
23:09you started shouting your head off.
23:11And then you hit me.
23:14I barely touched you.
23:16I said I was sorry, and you would not let it go.
23:19But I can't believe you don't remember this.
23:22It wasn't like that.
23:23You were getting more and more wound up.
23:26All right?
23:26I was trying to calm you down.
23:28You pushed me, and then you attacked me.
23:31That is not what happened.
23:33I know.
23:34What do you know?
23:35I know what you are trying to do.
23:37What you've been trying to do for months.
23:39Twisting things.
23:40Trying to make out like it's all my fault.
23:42I'm not going to let you do that anymore.
23:44Right?
23:44I'm not going to let you lie to me anymore.
24:00Well, if you can't take a bit of banter, that's his problem.
24:02And he's lucky I didn't hit him back, and I still might.
24:04That's enough.
24:05Breaking to a thousand pieces.
24:06As if.
24:08What's going on here?
24:09No, you don't want to know.
24:09Right, who said what exactly?
24:12I was having a joke, that's all.
24:13I said he was boring.
24:15Next minute, you know, he's doing his Deontay Wilder on me.
24:17Is this true, William?
24:18He deserved it.
24:18Is he crying now?
24:20Right, if he hit my grandson over a bit of gentle teasing, then we deserve an apology.
24:25He'll apologise for nothing.
24:27Overruled.
24:27Say sorry.
24:29You all right?
24:30I'm fine.
24:31Will!
24:32I'm sorry.
24:33Once more, we're feeling.
24:35Do you want to press charges?
24:37Yeah, because I can have a word with my son, and we'll get this loom taken in.
24:39If you call our boy a loom once more, he won't be the only one round here stroking his jaw.
24:45Try it.
24:45Back in your corners, ladies.
24:47You, inside.
24:48Put some cream on those knuckles, William.
24:50Put some cream on those knuckles.
24:52Sorry about this.
24:53Forget it.
24:53You, take your lad away.
24:55The adrenaline's going to his head.
24:57Well, I don't want to kill him, but if he tries it again, I will.
24:59Oh, join your parents at his majesty's pleasure, is it?
25:02You've got a lot to say for yourself, haven't you?
25:04Trust me, lady, I haven't even got going.
25:07Right.
25:08Right, come on, let's go and get a bun.
25:10Ooh, a bun.
25:11Shut up!
25:13And that little clown's got a lot of grown-up to do.
25:17Aye, this little clown too.
25:22Are you trying to gaslight me?
25:23What?
25:24It's a form of psychological manipulation.
25:26I know what gaslighting is.
25:28I'm not manipulating you, psychologically or otherwise.
25:31You're making me question my sanity, classic sign.
25:34How am I?
25:34Even my memories.
25:36When?
25:37Look at you.
25:39Look at you, acting all innocent, trying to throw it back on me.
25:42No, then, whenever.
25:44You're making me think I'm going mad or rewriting history.
25:47You are.
25:48If you think I'm to blame for what went on here last night.
25:52I might have played my part, but...
25:55I did not want to be shoved over a coffee table by someone who says they love me.
25:58I do love you, but I am not to blame for everything.
26:02You need to watch your temper.
26:04You are the one that is being nasty.
26:08Nasty?
26:09Yeah, and hostile and aggressive in luck.
26:12Ah, right, yeah.
26:13Danny, I was irrational.
26:15But I thought I'd swerved all that.
26:18But you and her, you play by the same playbook, don't you?
26:21Push all my buttons and then present you're on the receiving end.
26:26All hurt and hard done by.
26:28You and her should get together.
26:29Look, let's just talk.
26:31No.
26:32No.
26:33No talking.
26:34Talking doesn't work with you.
26:35Do you want to see what you've been up to this past week?
26:37I'll show you.
26:38I'll show you what you've been up to.
26:40Steven Spielberg with your cameras in every corner of this house.
26:44Oh, I'll show you.
26:45I'll show you what you've been up to.
26:46Don't you move, E, without sin.
26:48Don't you move a muscle.
26:54A creche in Singapore, 24-7.
26:57You really think that's in her best interest?
26:59That's right.
27:00Well, they even speak out there.
27:03Learning another language is a good thing.
27:05Or will you hire a full-time nanny?
27:07And how much will that cost?
27:08Either way, you'll never see her.
27:10James, I will see more of her.
27:11How much are they paying you?
27:13Hey, that's private.
27:14It's fine.
27:16Look, it's decent.
27:19I don't mind telling you it's decent, but it's not about the money.
27:23OK, I have agonised over this.
27:25And yes, it's the right thing for me.
27:26But I'm sorry, it is also the best thing for Layla.
27:30A job where I can make a difference.
27:34I know you are welcome.
27:35You will all be welcome any time.
27:37Oh, how kind.
27:38How considerate.
27:39I'll just nip over most weekend, shall I?
27:41Oh, what is a return flight to Singapore again?
27:43Pocket change.
27:44If the tables were turned, I would feel the same.
27:48OK, but if you just would hear me out, OK, if we could please just try and be reasonable.
27:53What do you think?
27:53I'm being unreasonable.
27:54You nearly gave her away.
27:56I was there for you.
27:58I was there for Layla.
27:59I provided a solution.
28:00This was your idea.
28:02We can try and...
28:04This was always, always going to happen.
28:08Well, didn't I say so at the time?
28:10I don't know.
28:11She had timed this to perfection.
28:14Don't you say that.
28:16OK, there was nothing calculated about this.
28:20Go without her.
28:20Don't say that.
28:23You know, I can't do that.
28:25Look, better now than further down the line, eh?
28:28James.
28:35Why would I pour tea on your dress?
28:37Because you can't handle the fact that your ex-husband loves me.
28:40He doesn't love you.
28:42I mean, you're welcome to each other.
28:43Tracy, are we going to be like this forever?
28:46I'm not being like anything.
28:48That dress was expensive.
28:50It was £29.99.
28:51How do you know?
28:53Well, because I saw it online.
28:55Yeah, well, it might be cheap to you, but it was a lot to me.
28:58And I was looking forward to wearing it tonight.
29:01You're going to have to go in rags.
29:03Tracy.
29:04Come on, it's Christmas.
29:06Can't we play football in no man's land?
29:08Somebody pour tea on your nasty little dress.
29:11It's probably you.
29:12Well, it's got nothing to do with me.
29:18The grandma's not worse.
29:20Did you have to wind him up?
29:21Well, of course not.
29:23You know, that poor girl, she looked mortified.
29:26Yeah, she's fit, though.
29:28Who's that?
29:30Sally.
29:31I'm checking I can babysit.
29:33She's asked me about a hundred times.
29:35Tinophie's works do.
29:37Bosses and wives only.
29:38This was our poor's favourite.
29:44I like the herald angels sing.
29:48You love this time of year.
29:50Reminds me of my infant school nativity.
29:52I was Joseph once.
29:54Me and Mary had to sing away in the manger.
29:55Hmm.
29:57Our Gemma always wanted to be Mary, but she was always a sheep or a donkey.
30:01You know, last year, Shanice was the innkeeper.
30:04She had to wear this, erm, fake beard.
30:06Mum kicked off big time about it.
30:08I'm not surprised.
30:09You said the innkeeper had to be a fella.
30:11Oh, yes she is.
30:12Love a superior.
30:14I've got my eyes on you.
30:15Oh, scary.
30:16His mummy and daddy did a fine job, from what I hear.
30:19Lovely little family they've got, scattered around various prisons and foster homes.
30:24Prote.
30:25Is it another fight you want?
30:27Just one little call to social services.
30:30That's all it would take.
30:31Haven't you got any tinsel?
30:39No.
30:40Tinsel?
30:41They sell it down the cabin, don't they?
30:43Do you know, I just don't know what to wear.
30:45You can wear that sparkly when you bought for your do.
30:48I can't wear the same dress for two different Christmas parties, Tim.
30:53You can wear Shanice's antlers.
30:54Oh.
31:01Hiya.
31:04It's, uh...
31:05Oh, Summer.
31:06What can I do for you?
31:08Well, um, it's a little bit awkward.
31:10Well, hang on.
31:11Just stay there.
31:17If you can't control your temper, I'm going to have to cancel your training sessions altogether.
31:22All right, do it.
31:22Is that cheek?
31:25If that Brody had hit you back, you'd know all about it.
31:29Anyway, it's Megan I feel sorry for.
31:32Stuck in the middle of all that nonsense.
31:39What's really going on, son?
31:41Nothing.
31:43Is it a girl?
31:44No.
31:45Did she go to your new school?
31:46There is no girl.
31:47What's she called?
31:49Well, is it something else then?
31:52Look, I know you didn't want to come here, but I thought we were over all that.
31:56I've started seeing Chloe again.
31:59Chloe from Hull.
32:02How come?
32:03We just started messaging.
32:06Right.
32:08So it's back to all that again.
32:10Wishing you were still in Hull.
32:11Look, on the one hand, I'm happy for you.
32:15Just don't let her, you know, rip your heart out of your chest and trample all over it again.
32:22I'll try.
32:23There can be a whole lot of trouble, women.
32:32Don't let them fool you.
32:33I know.
32:34It's the ones you like the best or the worst.
32:37I've heard this speech before.
32:39Trick is not to let them see it.
32:42Well, not at first anyway.
32:45Once you're older, more settled, then you can be more honest.
32:49But you tell a woman how you really feel straight off the bat.
32:53She'll be dust.
32:53No, you know, wait.
32:54Hold on.
32:55Let me write all this down.
33:00Oh, I'm extremely sorry, Summer.
33:02We've been framed.
33:04I haven't told the police.
33:06Good.
33:06We'd prefer it if you didn't.
33:07Yeah, and we'd prefer it if you didn't tell Dev.
33:11So what were you going to do with this, then, eh, girls?
33:14You told me.
33:15No, you.
33:16Look, if you had any intention of drinking that...
33:19No.
33:22If you could just turn a blind eye on this occasion.
33:26Well, Dev's got a pretty strict policy and I haven't worked there long.
33:29Yeah, but they're just kids.
33:31Look at them.
33:32They made a mistake, didn't you, girls?
33:34Yeah.
33:35And I'm sure Maggie won't mention this to anyone.
33:37Yeah, and we've got enough on our plate without all this.
33:42Hey, what happened to you?
33:44Got smart.
33:45By who?
33:46See what I mean?
33:49Brody.
33:52Right, girls, just make sure this doesn't happen again, OK?
33:56Otherwise, I'll take you down to the police station myself.
33:59It won't.
34:06Theo.
34:07I'm sorry you're upset.
34:11I know that I'm not perfect, but...
34:13We've got to get this straight.
34:14Do you want to sit eggs a bit, eh?
34:40Do you want to know what you're really like?
34:46Strap yourself in.
34:46For your mum?
34:54For your mum?
35:07Why didn't you just tell us if you wanted to buy her a present?
35:13Yeah, we'd have got her something, you know.
35:16You didn't have to go stealing booze.
35:18Don't let you take it in the prison anyway.
35:20You can't just take something that doesn't belong to you.
35:25Even if it is for somebody else.
35:27You got away with that today.
35:29Someone was kind to you.
35:32But people won't always be that kind.
35:34I know.
35:41Come here.
35:44Oh, love.
35:48I'll miss her too.
35:50I mean, I'll miss both of them.
35:52Look, what's the point of us falling out now?
35:56We've come this far, haven't we?
35:58And growing up in Singapore sounds way more exciting than growing up around here.
36:01Glory's going to be mad jealous.
36:05Listen, I know this is going to affect you the most,
36:08but we have to try and get behind this.
36:11She was always going to shift the goalposts.
36:14Look, she's here now, so play nice.
36:17Hiya.
36:19Can I get you another drink?
36:20Save the money for the child care.
36:28I'll have a lager in line.
36:50I haven't got long.
37:11My training schedule, if anyone asks.
37:13Attacking people.
37:17You're going to blow our cover.
37:20Andy would have wiped the floor with you.
37:22Oh, so you fancy him now?
37:25Look, we've got to be more careful.
37:27I just don't like people flirting with you.
37:29Yeah, well, you can't make it so obvious.
37:31You sucked all the way through that session.
37:34I don't think you noticed, luckily.
37:35What are you doing tonight?
37:40Daniel wants to watch a film.
37:42I'm going to the gym.
37:44Good.
37:46Yeah.
37:48Happy birthday for the morning.
37:50Are you going already?
37:52I've got to.
37:53Sorry.
37:53Ah, how was your niece?
38:02Yeah, I gave her them slippers.
38:04They were for Christmas.
38:06I know, but she needed cheering up, didn't she?
38:08Oh, you're too soft.
38:10You know, Brodie's had a word with them.
38:12We're going to have to do something nice next week,
38:14because they're going to mess their mum wet mouth.
38:16Yeah.
38:17Hey, look what I've got for me and Steve.
38:19Two for a pound off a blocking town.
38:21I saw you coming.
38:23See you later, guys.
38:24Hey, where are you going?
38:26You're babysitting?
38:27Oh, change of plan, sorry.
38:28Hang on a minute, we had an agreement.
38:29Hey, I gave you 20 quid.
38:3220 quid?
38:33Oh, fantastic.
38:34I wish I hadn't ironed this top now.
38:36How will you go?
38:37No, don't be ridiculous.
38:39Well, let's see if we can get Amy or Abby to babysit, then.
38:41No, it's fine.
38:42You go.
38:43You sure?
38:44Yeah, you've worked hard this year.
38:45You deserve to go.
38:47All right, thanks.
38:48If you don't want to be with me, just tell me.
39:01I don't.
39:02I don't want to be with you.
39:03I don't want to be with you.
39:05Well?
39:12You've edited it.
39:13Yeah, of course I have.
39:13There's too much.
39:14When you've had time to do this, you can't have done it this afternoon.
39:18Is this what you were doing last night?
39:19Oh, Todd, why?
39:22None of that shows what you were like.
39:25It's all me.
39:26Because it was.
39:28I'm glad you've acknowledged it.
39:29But the sooner that you accept responsibility, the sooner that we can move forward.
39:33I know that that looks bad.
39:36Yeah, but like in a court of law, say, for instance.
39:38But that is only half the story.
39:39Look, we can get you help.
39:41We can get you all the help that you need.
39:43I'm not the one who needs help.
39:46Do you know people have been saying that to me since I was young?
39:48That's what Noah used to say.
39:50That I need help because I had these feelings and energies and unnatural, wicked thoughts.
39:56That was different.
39:57I don't want to be told that I need help from someone who shoved me through a table.
40:01I was defending myself.
40:04Why are people always asking me to apologise for who I am?
40:08Why does no one apologise to me?
40:10You've seen the evidence.
40:11You've survived the police station.
40:13Why can't you just say sorry for everything?
40:16I shouldn't have to apologise.
40:18Oh, do I have to repeat myself?
40:22I was happy.
40:24Alright?
40:24I had a wife, kids, job.
40:27And now what?
40:28Since you?
40:29It's been hospitals, police stations, divorce courts, custody battles.
40:34None of which has anything to do with those edited highlights.
40:38The point is that we got through that, okay?
40:46We can get through this, alright?
40:49We just need to have each other's backs, alright?
40:52I don't...
40:53You don't need to say sorry, alright?
40:54I don't expect that.
40:56I just...
40:58Let's just have no more torment, alright?
41:02Let's not have any more mind games, eh?
41:07Deal?
41:07Deal.
41:17Who's Sal?
41:18It's what we wanted.
41:20Kids and responsibilities.
41:21It's what you wanted.
41:23Yeah, but it's what I wanted, granted.
41:24But she's loving it, you know?
41:26Challenges included.
41:27No challenges aside.
41:28So am I.
41:29Yeah, well, I think you're doing a good thing.
41:31I really do.
41:32She's drunk.
41:33Hey, I am not drunk.
41:35Well, I'm getting there.
41:37But we need more Tim and Sallies.
41:40The world doesn't need any more Tims.
41:42One's plenty.
41:43Ah, now that is the red colour, lads.
41:45Count to this, pal.
41:46Not your lot.
41:47Two for a pound?
41:48How about 50p for half a dozen?
41:50Hmm.
41:51Eh?
41:51I still can't believe his lad ate Brody.
41:55Yeah, I'm sure Brody wasn't blameless.
41:57Do you know what?
41:58This is the only time of year I fancy mulled wine.
42:01Funny that, innit?
42:02Mm.
42:03Sally, I'd love that.
42:04Well, take us some home.
42:05Nah, she'll be in bed by now.
42:06Or decked out and it's over.
42:07That's better.
42:14Is it?
42:19You made this one?
42:20Sophie or Rosie?
42:22Is that the good one?
42:26Sophie.
42:26Oh, Grim Reaper's here.
42:30Oi, I heard that.
42:32Ooh, mulled wine, please.
42:33Nelvis, please, Ben.
42:34Oh, that looks nice.
42:36We could have gone somewhere else.
42:38I don't want him to think I feel awkward.
42:41You must be used to it, though,
42:43having lads lusting after you, scrapping over you.
42:46I know if you were my coach,
42:47I'd have been in love with you, too.
42:49Brody wasn't lusting after me, right?
42:51They weren't scrapping over me.
42:52You said the other day that Will had a crush on you.
42:55I said I thought he might have a crush on you.
43:00Anyway, we were told him not to have any beef with anybody,
43:02no matter who it is.
43:03I appreciate it, mate.
43:05But just for the record, he didn't do anything wrong.
43:08Lads will be lads and all that.
43:10Will shouldn't have lashed out.
43:12Well, Brody said that he never felt anything.
43:14Yeah, well, Will had beat him in a foot race,
43:15that's all that matters.
43:16He also said that your mother came gunning for him.
43:18Listen, her bark's worse than her bite.
43:20She said she caught the other two shoplifting.
43:23Yeah.
43:24They're troubled kids, but we're doing our best.
43:25You know, you should come with me.
43:36Turn around council sessions.
43:41Hey, listen to me.
43:44Yeah, maybe.
43:49Maybe?
43:49I mean, I will.
43:55OK.
43:57Right, bedtime.
44:01Come on.
44:02Chop, chop.
