00:30Thanks for the prior. It was lovely.
00:32Ah, well I'm glad it hit the spot.
00:37I mean, touch wood. He seems alright after that flip yesterday.
00:41Don't jinx it.
00:42What's a touch wood?
00:44I thought he'd be flipping out over Ray's burial.
00:46Shh, he doesn't know his tomorrow.
00:48He wouldn't want to go anywhere.
00:50Do you reckon?
00:51Wait, wait, do you?
00:53Do you want to go?
00:54No, no I don't. He, um...
00:57I just want to forget him.
00:59Yeah, we all do.
01:01Dad's just still a little bit confused when it comes to Ray.
01:06Where are you going?
01:09Upstairs, then out.
01:10I'm seeing Lucy.
01:12Seeing your counsellor?
01:13That's brilliant.
01:14I'll give you a lift if you want.
01:15No, no need to mither.
01:20He's rebooked his counselling session off his own, but that's real progress.
01:24Which is why he can't hear a single word about the burial.
01:26Or anything to do with Ray.
01:28Not now he's starting to pull round.
01:30It's too risky.
01:36Do you live here?
01:37Ha!
01:38You wish.
01:39But, you know, Ross, dreams do come true.
01:42Oh, speaking of, Saturday night, I'll get pizzas and...
01:45For what?
01:46For the Brit Awards, obviously.
01:47It's a big night in.
01:48Oh, it's too early in the morning for you.
01:52Ah!
01:53Well, well, well.
01:55What have we here?
01:57Somebody who actually lives here.
01:58Bingo.
01:59And when I went into Vinny's room just now, he wasn't there.
02:03Don't you ever go into my room, ever.
02:05You're missing the point.
02:06This one wasn't in his room.
02:10He wasn't in the bathroom.
02:11He checked.
02:12Of course he did the pest.
02:14So whose room was Vinny in?
02:19You smashed it in the friend zone, didn't you?
02:22Smashed it!
02:23Stop saying smashed.
02:24It's weird.
02:24Yo, listen, do you think you might move into Louie's room?
02:26Because then I could take yours and...
02:27Told you, Ross, dreams come true.
02:30No, look, right, I just had one really, really nice night, all right?
02:35And...
02:35And I don't have any questions anymore about who I am and who I like.
02:41Come on, then.
02:42It is.
02:43Anything to report?
02:45Nope.
02:46Good.
02:47Hi.
02:47I was just going to bring you a cuppa.
02:49Hey, I'm due at work.
02:50Oh, well, I'll walk with you.
02:51Oh, no, I'm late.
02:52I'm going to run.
02:53Right, OK.
02:54Well, I guess I'll...
02:55See you later, then, yeah?
02:56Yeah, you will.
03:02Oh, Charles, wait!
03:04Hi.
03:05Um, are you going to the Chapel of Rest now?
03:08Does that mean you'll be joining me after all?
03:10Well, seeing as I put you up to it...
03:12Good.
03:12I'm glad.
03:14Yeah, I'm not sure I am.
03:15I hardly had a wink of sleep last night.
03:17Kept thinking about all the suffering that Ray caused.
03:22Sounds familiar.
03:24My Victor, Charles's dad, was deeply flawed.
03:27I still needed to mourn him.
03:30It's all right if you need to give Ray a dignified goodbye.
03:32There is no rule book to this.
03:34Ashley would remind me that though Ray was a terrible man,
03:38he once was a vulnerable little boy caught by a predator.
03:41So I'm going for that little boy.
03:45Oh, Bear!
03:46Are you going to see Ray too?
03:47No, no.
03:49Ray?
03:51Are you going to see Ray?
03:55I thought you knew.
03:59Where is he?
04:00He's in Hotton.
04:01In the Chapel of Rest.
04:03He's being buried tomorrow.
04:08I'm coming.
04:09Um, well, we should ask Paddy first, really.
04:12No, I'm coming.
04:15Please.
04:17If that's what you want.
04:20Come on.
04:34Oh?
04:35Good morning to you too, Sam.
04:38I thought you'd been kicked out for helping our kid.
04:41Still here.
04:42Why did you do it?
04:44Help our kid over Joe?
04:47Great question, Sam.
04:49Why did you betray Joe?
04:51I didn't betray anyone.
04:53I made a judgment call.
05:02Can we talk, please?
05:06Come on.
05:07We're better than this.
05:10The thing about loyalty, Joe, is it's a two-way thing.
05:15I will always put you first, but not always in the way you want.
05:23I think it's time to go.
05:24You can freeze me out all you want, but I'm not going anywhere.
05:27Not without you.
05:28Never again.
05:30Stay.
05:31Go.
05:32I don't care.
05:39I don't care.
05:41Sounds like he really means that.
05:47Hi.
05:48Pull up a pew.
05:48What are you after?
05:50Could you get me a Louis, please?
05:52He's on a stock run and not on the menu.
05:54Oh, the market.
05:56All right.
05:57He didn't say anything.
05:58Not a peep, little sneak.
06:00Tell me all.
06:02Uh, just two hot chocolates, please, thanks, Nicola.
06:05Fine.
06:06But just know, if you mess Lewis about, I will mess you up.
06:10Okay?
06:12Okay?
06:14Okay.
06:19You all right?
06:22Did you see it before, you know, with Lewis at the house?
06:24It just, it just, it just felt like a brush off, right?
06:27But then last night, he seemed dead into it.
06:29Yeah, and what about you?
06:32Um, yeah, of course I was into it, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's great.
06:37Felt right.
06:39I'm chuffed with you, man.
06:41Yeah, although I'll be not yet.
06:43Looks like he regrets it.
06:44Nah, no way.
06:46It's just, Louis being, Louis.
06:56If you're not sure, then just start as you mean to go on.
07:04With honesty, right?
07:08Just ask him.
07:09Yeah, but it's, it's just, I'm just scared I won't like his answer.
07:16But it's the early bird special.
07:18You're too early for the early bird special.
07:21That makes no sense.
07:24Early bird special, ta.
07:25You're too early.
07:27But it's the early bird special.
07:29Mary, is it all right if I drop Princess Pinky off her Eve?
07:31Yeah, of course you can.
07:32We shall all be eternally grateful.
07:35You should have heard the flash she was making this morning.
07:38How are you holding up?
07:39Oh, as well as we can be.
07:41And bear?
07:42Yeah, better-ish.
07:44Much better-ish.
07:45He's gone to see his counsellor.
07:46Yeah, but he's organised himself.
07:48And we are doing our very best not to smother and mither him.
07:51When she says we, she means me.
07:54Hello?
07:58Well, he set off ages ago.
08:01No, he doesn't really have a mobile at the moment.
08:04Yeah.
08:05Bye.
08:09He hasn't turned up to his counselling session.
08:11He's all right.
08:12He's with Laurel and Charles.
08:14Where?
08:15Chapel of Rest.
08:16Where they've got Ray.
08:18Laurel's taking me dad to see Ray.
08:20Well, bear insisted.
08:22What?
08:23I'm going to have to stop him.
08:25They'll all be there by now.
08:26It's too late.
08:28Pick up, Laurel, pick up.
08:29Oh, Paddy, please.
08:31Brilliant voicemail.
08:34Laurel, you have to turn around.
08:35Me dad can't see him.
08:36Don't you dare let me dad see Ray.
08:40Why is Laurel going anywhere near that evil brood?
08:46Don't do this to him, please.
08:47Just call me back as soon as you can.
08:50Listen, right, she might still hear it in time.
08:52And what if she doesn't?
08:52What if she ignores it?
08:54Even if I can't stop it, I should be there for me dad because he needs me.
08:57Not in this state, he doesn't.
08:58If he sees you're all het up and anxious, it's going to make him worse.
09:01Babe, he needs you to be calm and supportive, yeah?
09:04And who knows, you know, it might not be the worst thing if he...
09:08He wants to say bye to Ray in person.
09:10How can you say that?
09:12Because he was important to have Vinnie to see Paul off.
09:15And he's like everything.
09:16And for me, in my own little way.
09:18This is completely different.
09:19My dad was an empty shell when we found him.
09:21He could barely speak.
09:22He could barely do anything.
09:26And after everything it's taken to get him this far,
09:28for him to just feel a little bit safe with us,
09:31just to do normal things.
09:35My dad sees Ray in that coffin.
09:39He could break him all over again.
09:42But this time,
09:45what if...
09:47What if we can't get him back?
10:11Bring all who rest in Christ
10:13into the fullness of your kingdom,
10:16where sins have been forgiven
10:19and death is no more.
10:22Lord, in your mercy,
10:24hear our prayer.
10:26Hear our prayer.
10:30Are you all right?
10:31Yeah.
10:32Yeah.
10:33I thought I'd feel a lot more anger and revulsion,
10:38but I just feel so sad.
10:40You know, for the life that he should have had.
10:44Celia stole his future.
10:47And Ray knew it.
10:49He begged me
10:50to try and fix it.
10:58I should have...
10:59I should have...
11:02stopped him leaving that day.
11:03I should have been stronger.
11:05Hold him accountable.
11:07Make him face
11:08the consequences, you know?
11:14Anything's better than this, right?
11:16Laurel,
11:18it's not your fault.
11:19No, I know it's not my fault,
11:20but it's not entirely his.
11:22You know?
11:24He wanted a different life.
11:30Can I just have a minute?
11:32Of course.
11:33Take your time.
11:43I know you love me.
11:45And in a different world,
11:47maybe
11:48we might have been really happy.
11:52In this one, you know?
11:55I can't forgive you.
12:01I hope God has that.
12:06And you're at peace.
12:09Yeah.
12:19Oh, good shot.
12:20No, it wasn't.
12:21No, you're right.
12:22It was rubbish.
12:23So what are you lying for?
12:24You know, just
12:24so I can, you know,
12:26smooth the way.
12:27To what?
12:29You know,
12:29so I can check in
12:30about you and Vinny,
12:30see if everything's all good.
12:32Why?
12:32I'm your big brother, aren't I?
12:34I'm trying to be supportive.
12:35So,
12:35if you've got any questions
12:37about
12:38you-know-what.
12:39Oh, my God!
12:41No!
12:42Hold us in time
12:43to save me from him.
12:43Anyone for a drink?
12:45Oh, yeah.
12:49Hello?
12:50Do you, um,
12:53do you regret last night?
12:57Goodbye, Ray.
13:06Bear.
13:08Sorry I didn't...
13:11I'll give you some space.
13:40You guys take care of me.
13:42Okay,
13:46I'm so...
13:50I'm so, so, so sorry.
13:52Ray.
13:54Ray.
13:57Ray.
14:01I'm sorry, lad.
14:04I've never done this with a bloke before,
14:06so I just don't know how it really works.
14:09Is that wrong?
14:11Well, no, but you just left this morning
14:12without saying, like, a proper goodbye
14:13or even good morning.
14:15I was late for work.
14:17It just felt like you were giving me the brush off.
14:20Why would I do that?
14:22I had a really nice time.
14:23Yeah, me too, but...
14:25Look, Lewis, I don't want you to ever feel, you know, pressured.
14:29I don't.
14:31You know, when you left this morning without saying much,
14:33I thought...
14:34I mean, look, right,
14:36you told me that you start shutting down, you know,
14:39when things get too much, right?
14:40Yeah, but that wasn't it.
14:41I was just, you know, late for work,
14:42and that's all I was focused on.
14:44So you wasn't shutting down on me?
14:46No, but, I mean, even if I was,
14:49it's, you know, it's not the same as giving me the brush off.
14:51It's just the way I work.
14:52I thought you realised.
14:54And I should have done, okay?
14:55But I just, I wanted to make sure that I wasn't making an idiot of myself,
14:59you know, and it's our first time together,
15:01and I just, I just, yeah, I'm,
15:04I'm a little bit googly-eyed over here, so...
15:06Sorry.
15:09Well, I'm...
15:10a little bit googly-eyed over here.
15:31Ah, Norman no mates. Still lurking about where you're not wanted.
15:40Rona's rejected you. Joe's rejected you. I've rejected you. What are you sticking around
15:47for? You're done, Graham. There's no redemption here. No happy ever after. There's just waiting
15:59around until Joe hates you even more than I do. You are threatened by me.
16:08And you have nothing and no one. But still you wait. Like a stray dog for another kicking.
16:19Pathetic! You know, I am not scared by you. I'm repulsed.
16:29I know what makes you tick. Who makes you tick?
16:47I terrify you. That's why you want me gone. But I'm not going anywhere.
17:12You're wrong. There's no way. I know my best mate. Laurel simply wanted to pay her respects.
17:18Maybe she wanted to spit in his face. Or maybe she just needed a sense of closure. I did.
17:23What with Craig? You never went to his funeral, have you?
17:27Well, sometimes I wish I had. If Laurel chose to see Ray off, then...
17:32It's a big if. It doesn't mean she condones what he did.
17:36There's no right or wrong here. Sorry, but there is a limit to anyone's compassion.
17:41Yeah, well, she should have left me dad out of it.
17:43Laurel, we've been calling you.
17:45Well, we had our phones turned off. Where's me dad?
17:48Bear. He's just behind me.
17:50This lot have it in their head that you've been to see Ray.
17:53Where's me dad?
17:57You all right?
18:02I think it went well.
18:04Yeah, Paddy, he wanted to come.
18:05I'll deal with you later.
18:13Everywhere I turn, he's lurking, just desperate to lure you back in.
18:18Please, put Graham and us out of our misery and kick him out.
18:24And if not for yourself, for the kids.
18:26They're confused as hell with him hanging around.
18:30It's your house, Kim.
18:31You want him gone, you get rid of him.
18:33Oh!
18:34Ah!
18:35Here he is again.
18:37There isn't a corner where he won't creep around.
18:42Yesterday, you said that I would understand when I got the full picture.
18:46You will.
18:48So fill me in.
18:49I can't.
18:50I'm a man of my word.
18:52But it will make sense soon.
19:00Right.
19:01That's it.
19:02Pack your bags and get out.
19:04You sure you want to do that?
19:05I am desperate for it.
19:06Yes, you are.
19:08If I leave now because of you, Joe will resent you for it.
19:12He'll get over it.
19:13You know he won't.
19:14If he wants me to leave for good, he'll tell me.
19:18But he hasn't.
19:19Because you're pitiful.
19:21Because he's not ready to let me go yet.
19:26Yes.
19:32How could you go and pay any respects to that man?
19:35After all he's done.
19:36He was important for us.
19:38For our faith.
19:38I get that you went vicar.
19:40It's your job.
19:42But...
19:42Moral.
19:44You know what he was.
19:45She's not excusing him.
19:47It's what it feels like.
19:48After everything he did to April.
19:50To your best friends.
19:52The man's a menace.
19:53I know.
19:54You don't have to defend yourself.
19:55No, I'm happy to.
19:57Ray was evil.
19:58Truly evil.
19:59And Lydia's right.
20:00You know, I'm not excusing any of it.
20:02Yeah, because there is no excuse in it.
20:04But I knew a different side to him.
20:06You know, a more vulnerable side.
20:08And I wanted to say goodbye and pray for the Ray that I knew.
20:12Which she has every right to do.
20:14I'm glad that April and Marlon and Rona are not here.
20:18How do you think they're going to feel when they find out that you went to see off a man
20:21who tortured them for months?
20:24Yeah, well, I hope they understand.
20:26How can they?
20:28I need to go.
20:30You don't have to.
20:31Listen, I just want to say goodbye to Bear.
20:33Not a chance.
20:34No, he wants a bit of quiet.
20:35We're going to take him home when he's ready.
20:37Look, I truly thought it was a good thing for Bear to see Ray today.
20:41However hard, I found some peace.
20:44And I hope he did too.
20:46Peace!
20:47Ray was just a boyfriend to you, but to me dad he was an abuser.
20:51He groomed him.
20:52He locked him up.
20:53He used him.
20:54And he hurt him.
20:55Oh, stop.
20:56Ray broke my dad.
20:58Do you not get that, Laurel?
20:59Yeah, I don't.
20:59Well, I don't think you do.
21:01Because if you did, you wouldn't have taken him there to see his dead abuser.
21:04Stop it! Stop!
21:06You leave her alone.
21:07I'm glad to go.
21:10And none of you had any right to judge her.
21:13And you had no right to keep it from me.
21:16I killed the man.
21:18Seeing him off was the least I could do.
21:20And you tried to rob me of that.
21:24Shame on you!
21:24amend him in jail!
21:25Not all!
21:31Matter of été!
21:32No.
21:54Clesecurity.
21:54Tune.
