00:33What are you doing?
00:36Dad.
00:36Leave me alone.
00:37It's nine o'clock in the morning.
00:38Paddy.
00:39What?
00:41You've not been to bed?
00:44I couldn't sleep.
00:45Right, well a cup of cocoa might have been better than that.
00:47That's not helping.
00:48This isn't the answer, is it?
00:49You must know that, Dad.
00:51I'll get out your way.
00:52Wait.
00:53Right, why don't I make us all some brekkie, eh?
00:55I can't drink a beer in peace.
00:57Then I'll go, if that's right with you.
01:06I just wanted a help.
01:08I wish Paddy could have seen that.
01:11And I thought it would be good for Bear.
01:14The way he was carrying on in the pub yesterday, I don't think your plan worked.
01:18Oh, don't, Nicola.
01:19Oh, sorry, I didn't mean it like that, but I just, I wouldn't be holding out for any forgiveness from
01:24Paddy, that's all.
01:25I know it's really difficult for people to understand, but saying goodbye to Ray will, I don't know, it made
01:31me feel better.
01:33I mean, I get that bit, kind of.
01:37Look, what's done is done, isn't it?
01:40Paddy will come round once the dust has settled.
01:43What's done?
01:46Your mum was just trying to help.
01:48Nicola, it's fine, I can speak for myself.
01:51Listen, I, um, I went to see Ray in the chapel of rest, and I took Bear with me.
02:03That scumbag Ray must have had a real hold on them.
02:08Even in death, he's still wielding control.
02:12Yeah.
02:14Stockholm Syndrome.
02:16Can be a very powerful thing.
02:18Why do they call it that?
02:19The Swedes especially prone to hostage taking.
02:22That and floppy furniture.
02:25I probably shouldn't have taken Laurel and Bear to the chapel of rest.
02:28It was their choice.
02:30You meant well.
02:31Exactly.
02:31Don't beat yourself up about it.
02:33Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
02:35You weren't to know Bear was going to react like that.
02:37I probably should have guessed.
02:39Must have been very strange for Bear, knowing the body of the man he killed was in that coffin.
02:45Oh.
02:46No wonder he lost the plot.
02:48So was Paddy absolutely raging then?
02:50Rage would be an understatement.
02:53Then Bear turned on Paddy.
02:55Certainly wasn't pretty.
02:56He was like a man possessed.
02:57Can I get you folks some more drinks?
03:00All right, thank you.
03:01What about you, Bear?
03:02What can I get you?
03:05Hey, come and join us.
03:08You all right, Bear?
03:11We were just, uh, hey, come on old chap.
03:16That was just a few chums shooting the brie.
03:26Are you all right?
03:28I am not a daft little girl anymore.
03:32Not as hard you were.
03:33Yeah, but you think it, though.
03:36You're planning something and you don't want me to find out.
03:40Look, I can tell when you're lying.
03:41So just leave it, will you?
03:44You know, you're not even that good at it.
03:45Seven out of ten at best.
03:50All right, okay.
03:52I'm going to do one more.
03:54A car?
03:54Yes, a car.
03:55I'm not going to rob a bank, am I?
03:56Well, I won't put it past you.
03:58Something a bit more high-end this time.
04:01Worth a bit of money.
04:02Something I know someone's not going to miss.
04:04Robbing a dinkle, eh?
04:05Stealing from the rich to give to the poor.
04:07Yeah, the poor being me.
04:09Anyway, their insurance will pay out for it.
04:11Why didn't you just tell me?
04:13Because it's none of your business.
04:14Well, I want to help.
04:15I don't need your help.
04:16Right, well, we're a team, whether you like it or not.
04:19So?
04:23Listen, I'm...
04:26I don't want to rob cars with a granddaughter.
04:28Why not?
04:30Because you've got a baby on the way, for starters.
04:32Right, and you've got cancer,
04:33so maybe neither of us have been nicking cars at the moment.
04:35I'm doing this, whether you like it or not,
04:37one more time and that's it.
04:38When?
04:38Tonight.
04:39Well, I've got plans tonight.
04:40Well, just as well, you're not coming.
04:53Thanks for fitting me in.
04:55It's all right.
04:56How can I help you?
04:58Well, I'm struggling to sleep.
05:03And I'm in constant pain with this arm.
05:07I see.
05:10Things have been difficult anyway.
05:14Then, yesterday...
05:17Yesterday, I went to see Ray.
05:22Bear.
05:22That must have been a traumatic experience.
05:24And I just wondered if there was something
05:27you might be able to give me to help,
05:28you know, like sleeping pills or something.
05:39I'm not sure that's such a good idea.
05:42I'm not asking for loads.
05:45Just for the next little while.
05:47Liam's given me them in the past.
05:50Yes, I know.
05:53But this is rather different.
05:56That man effectively fed you opioids over months.
06:01So we have to be really careful what we prescribe.
06:04Yes, I understand that.
06:05But there must be something you can do to help.
06:08Well, I think for the time being,
06:10some over-the-counter pain relief will be the best option.
06:14Alongside perhaps a different approach.
06:16Like what?
06:17Like another appointment with your counsellor.
06:20Talk it through with her.
06:21My counsellor?
06:22Yes.
06:23I think it will really help with the readjustment process.
06:26A decent night's sleep would be better.
06:28Bear.
06:29I am not going to prescribe you any pills at the moment.
06:33I will look into some community mental health support.
06:37Yes?
06:39I'm sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear.
06:42No.
06:43It's not.
06:46Bear.
06:48Right, come on then.
06:49What's this big announcement, eh?
06:55Is this what I think it is?
06:57You two?
06:58Mum, mum.
06:58What, like, lie together?
07:00Just take it easy, yeah?
07:01Well?
07:03Yes.
07:04Congratulations!
07:05Please, please, please, just keep your voice down, OK?
07:07Oh, I'm sorry, sorry.
07:08Of course, of course.
07:09It's just, you know, it's just nice to finally have some good news, that's all.
07:13Oh, um, how's, how's Bear?
07:15Oh, not great.
07:16Look, you were drinking beer this morning and, er...
07:21I can't believe that Laurel took him to see Ray yesterday.
07:26I'm sure she meant well.
07:28Yeah.
07:28Anyway, listen, you, right, look after this one.
07:30Mum.
07:31No, I'm just saying, you've had a bit of a tough time, that's all.
07:33Well, I promise I'll take good care of him.
07:36Yeah.
07:37He deserves a little slice of happiness.
07:39I mean, I mean a big slice.
07:40Err, a beef!
07:41Happiness cake!
07:43Oh, you do!
07:48I take it you know what Mum did yesterday.
07:50Can I just paraphrase something, yeah?
07:51I heard, yeah.
07:52But, you know, this can't be easy for her.
07:55She needs all the support she can get right now.
07:57Support?
07:58Yes, support.
07:59I know she's made mistakes, but that doesn't mean she's a bad person.
08:03So maybe give this whole petulant teenager routine a rest
08:06and actually be there for her for once.
08:08Hashtag boobies.
08:10Have a go.
08:10Er, do you think I should, er, try and find a bear?
08:15Try and apologise to him.
08:17I think maybe leave it a little bit longer.
08:19Just don't want to make things worse.
08:22Right.
08:23Hey.
08:23Hello, you look chipper.
08:25Yeah, well, me and Jacob have finally got plans
08:28to spend some time together tonight.
08:29It's been ages, he's been so busy working.
08:31I know, bless him.
08:32Practically living in that hospital, isn't he?
08:34Saving lives.
08:35Frazzled.
08:36Hmm.
08:37I'm afraid that's how life is going to be
08:39for our soon-to-be high-flying doctor.
08:43Ah, bear.
08:46I'm glad you've come in.
08:48Humble apologies for earlier.
08:49Yeah, we, er, we didn't mean anything by it.
08:52I just want these.
08:54Is that such a good idea?
08:56I wouldn't be buying them if I didn't think it were.
08:58Yeah, it's just a little bit early in the day, that's all.
09:01I know what time it is.
09:03Never heard of the 5pm rule, then?
09:05No, I'm not looking for advice.
09:08They're just looking out for your well-being.
09:11Yeah, well, my well-being is none of their business,
09:13or yours, for that matter.
09:14Now, are you going to sell me these or what?
09:18Now, why does everyone think they can stick their nose
09:21in other folks' business?
09:22We're just worried about you, that's all.
09:24Well, keep your worry.
09:25And the change.
09:34Oh, listen, Mac, don't see me as your boyfriend's mum, right?
09:37See me like I'm your mate.
09:39I know I'm your boyfriend's mum, but you know what?
09:41All right, you're making it weird now, Mum.
09:43I'm just saying I'm happy, you know,
09:44and after all I've been through lately,
09:46you know, it's like a breath of fresh air.
09:48Lulu doesn't mind, do you?
09:49No, no, of course not, but I do have to head back to work soon.
09:53Oh, no, please, stay for another while.
09:54Oh.
09:54Oh, look, if I'm honest,
09:58I can't really face going home.
10:00I mean, I know that sounds terrible.
10:02It's not terrible, we understand.
10:04Right, well, get the drinks in.
10:05Woo-hoo!
10:07Your mum is lovely.
10:09I'm not saying she's not.
10:13Have you got anything with bubbles and stock champagne?
10:16Uh, yeah, coming up.
10:18Are you celebrating something?
10:19Yay!
10:21No.
10:22Oh, I see.
10:24I'm really sorry, love.
10:25No, no, it's fine.
10:31I was just looking for Paddy.
10:32I wanted to apologise for yesterday.
10:34Is he about?
10:35Oh, you'd have heard him nagging me if he were.
10:38Well, I'm on his side on this one.
10:41Well, then you can leave me alone.
10:43Because I've had quite enough advice for one day.
10:47Well, I should go, then.
10:49I don't think Paddy would be that happy, me being here anyway.
10:51Yeah.
10:52Suit your sin.
10:53Yeah.
10:54I thought you were leaving.
10:57That's not the answer, though, is it?
10:59Oh, no.
11:00Then what do you suggest instead?
11:01Anything but that.
11:02Trust me, I know.
11:03Can a man not enjoy a drink in peace in his own home?
11:07Is this because of yesterday?
11:08I shouldn't have taken you there.
11:11I'm not a child.
11:12I know that.
11:13But it was clearly a lot harder for you than it was for me.
11:16Why?
11:16Because I'm the one that killed him?
11:18No, not that.
11:20But he didn't do the horrible things to me that he did to you.
11:23It was different.
11:25Just go, will you?
11:26Pear.
11:27No, just go, please.
11:31I want to be left alone.
11:49I can't get it out of me mind.
11:52I close my eyes and all I can see is his face.
11:56It's like he's haunting me.
12:00You'll get through this, Bear.
12:03When?
12:05I don't know.
12:09At least you're back where you belong.
12:11With people who care about you.
12:13They'll get tired of me soon enough, just like before.
12:17They already are.
12:19Paddy loves you.
12:21He were awful to you yesterday.
12:23Oh, that's exactly my point.
12:25I mean, if he didn't care about you, he wouldn't have got angry.
12:29He just wants to protect you.
12:31Yeah, but I'm the one who killed someone.
12:33I don't deserve protection.
12:39There was one time, when I were at the hospital, having me and your hand stitched up.
12:49I was the only one that Ray would take to see the doctor.
12:54Just me.
12:56And he turned to me.
13:02And called me Dad.
13:10Like he were a young boy.
13:14I saw that in him too, you know.
13:17I saw the same little boy that you saw.
13:20But you weren't, were you?
13:22You were a grown man who worked, people.
13:29I wish I could sleep.
13:33This arm still gives me jib.
13:35Have you seen the doctor?
13:37They won't give me anything.
13:39They say I need to see me counselor.
13:42Yeah.
13:43It's probably for the best, isn't it?
13:50It's not the answer, though, is it?
13:51You know, can I get rid of them for you, yeah?
13:57Please?
14:02You'll get through this.
14:05How?
14:07You've got to be kind to yourself.
14:09You know, Manpreet's probably right.
14:11A counselor might be really helpful.
14:15No amount of talking is going to fix me.
14:19It's going to take time.
14:21It's not going to be easy.
14:23But the memories will fade.
14:28Bear.
14:29Bear.
14:32You're not on your own.
14:36I'm here for you.
14:38Whenever you need to talk.
14:45Gabby.
14:46Sorry.
14:47I just want to apologize for earlier.
14:50What for?
14:51For Mum.
14:52It's fine.
14:53It's not fine, though, is it?
14:55Vinny, we live in the same village.
14:56Of course we're going to bump into each other.
14:58I know, but we shouldn't have been there in the first place, really, should we?
15:00Vinny, look.
15:02I am happy for you and Lewis.
15:06You sure?
15:07Yeah.
15:08You know, you're a great guy, and we had some really lovely times together.
15:14You deserve to be happy.
15:16I'm not too sure about that, but...
15:17Well, I am.
15:19And Thomas thinks so, too.
15:21In his own little preschool way.
15:24Thank you, Gabby.
15:25You know, you really are amazing, you know that.
15:28Hardly.
15:29Look, you are, okay?
15:30And you'll find someone who deserves you and...
15:33who makes you happy.
15:35Well, it'd be nice if that person turned up sometime soon.
15:38They will.
15:39I'm sure of it.
15:46You're pathetic.
15:47Oh, grow up, Arthur.
15:49What, be a sadder like you?
15:50No thanks.
15:51You know, sometimes things aren't simple.
15:54Sometimes you just have to make the best of things and move forward.
15:57But fair enough.
15:58If you want to be salty and miserable for the rest of your life,
16:00then that's up to you.
16:06Hey, what's up?
16:07Bad news, I'm afraid.
16:09I need to stay here and work tonight.
16:11Jacob, you promised.
16:12I've been.
16:14Don't give him a hard time.
16:15I'm sorry, there's nothing much I can do about it.
16:17It's just a bit difficult.
16:20At work, I mean.
16:22Was everything okay?
16:24It's fine.
16:25There's nothing I can't handle.
16:28Do you know what?
16:28Don't worry about tonight.
16:29You sure?
16:31Yeah, I'll find something to keep myself busy.
16:34I love you.
16:35Okay, love you.
16:36Bye.
16:37Bye.
16:42Harvey, Nate and Lewis do make a lovely couple, don't they?
16:45Yeah, they do.
16:46Try not to sound too excited.
16:48They am.
16:49It's just early days, isn't it?
16:51Are you getting hurt at yourself?
16:52I can't help it, Neil.
16:53It's just...
16:54It's good news, isn't it?
16:56Maybe.
16:57Go on double dates.
16:59They don't probably be hanging around with us.
17:00You don't know that.
17:01Of course I do.
17:02Trust me.
17:03Oh, spanked up.
17:05Hi.
17:06I'm glad I bumped into you.
17:09I wanted to say sorry.
17:11It's fine.
17:12Just forget it.
17:13I didn't want to cause any trouble.
17:15I just wanted to help.
17:18I know.
17:20I don't think you succeeded, but...
17:22I shouldn't have spoken to you like that.
17:24Oh, well, you know, emotions are running high, aren't they?
17:26They're not running there.
17:27I know you're under a lot of pressure, you know, with the court case and everything, so...
17:31Well, it's no excuse, and I'm sorry.
17:33I should never have taken Bear to the Chapel of Rest.
17:36I'm sorry.
17:36No, you shouldn't.
17:39I understand what you were trying to do, but...
17:42we'd prefer it if you just stayed away for the moment.
17:46Oh, right, er, I've just been with him.
17:48Sorry.
17:49I was trying to find you to say sorry.
17:51All right, fair enough.
17:53He's been drinking?
17:55Yeah.
17:56Yeah, he started early.
17:58Well, we had a good chat, and, um, I got him to pour it away, so I think I helped.
18:03He's calmer now.
18:05We should get back.
18:06Or maybe we should give him a bit of space for a while.
18:10Yeah.
18:12Laurel, I do appreciate your help, but maybe just...
18:16Leaving to us, for now.
18:22Leave him to us, for now.
18:48He's doing all the time.
18:49Okay.
18:54Yeah.
19:03Well, if you're taking a big deal, I'll do that.
19:04We'll be waiting.
