00:33What are you doing?
00:35Dad.
00:36Leave me alone.
00:37It's 9 o'clock in the morning.
00:38Paddy.
00:39What?
00:41You not been to bed?
00:43I 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 of your way.
00:52Wait.
00:53Right, why don't I make us all some breccia?
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.
01:13Well, the way he was carrying on in the pub yesterday, I don't think your plan worked.
01:17Oh, don't, Nicola.
01:19Sorry, I didn't mean it like that, but I just...
01:22I wouldn't be holding out for any forgiveness from Paddy, that's all.
01:25I know it's really difficult for people to understand, but saying goodbye to Ray will...
01:30I don't know, it made me feel better.
01:33I mean, I get that bit, kind of.
01:36Look, 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.
01:48It's fine, I can speak for myself.
01:51Listen, I, erm...
01:53I 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 can be a very powerful thing.
02:18Why do they call it that?
02:19A Swede's especially prone to hostage taking.
02:22That and flop-pack 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 wouldn't have known Bear was going to react like that.
02:37I probably should have guessed.
02:39Must have been very strange for Bear.
02:42Knowing 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.
02:58Can I get you folks some more drinks?
03:00Worry, thank you.
03:01What about you, Bear?
03:02What can I get you?
03:05Hey!
03:06Come and join us!
03:09You alright Bear?
03:10Er, we were just, er...
03:12Hey!
03:13Come on old chap!
03:15That was just a few chums shooting the breeze.
03:26Are you alright?
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 ya?
03:44You know you're not even that good at it.
03:45Seven out of ten at best.
03:50Alright, okay.
03:52I am going to do one more.
03:54A car?
03:54Yes, I can.
03:55I'm not going to rob a bank, am I?
03:56No, I won't put it past you.
03:58Something a bit more...
04:00...high-end this time.
04:00Worth 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.
04:19What's up?
04:22Listen, 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 should be nicking cars at the moment.
04:35I'm doing this, whether you like it or not,
04:36one 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.
04:47Come here.
04:53Thanks for fitting me in.
04:55It's alright.
04:56How can I help you?
04:58Well, erm...
05:00I'm struggling to sleep.
05:03And I'm in constant pain with this arm.
05:07I see.
05:09Things have been difficult anyway.
05:13Then...
05:14Yesterday...
05:17Yesterday I went to see Ray.
05:22Bare.
05:22That must have been a traumatic experience.
05:24And I just wondered if there was something you 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.
05:44Just for the next little while.
05:47Liam's given me them in the past.
05:50Yes, I know.
05:52Erm...
05:52But 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, but there must be something you can do to help.
06:08Well, I think for the time being, some 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.
06:25A decent night's sleep would be better.
06:28There.
06:29I am not going to prescribe you any pills at the moment.
06:33I will look into some community mental health support.
06:36Yes?
06:39I'm sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear.
06:42No.
06:43It's not.
06:46There.
06:47Right, come on then.
06:49What's this big announcement, eh?
06:55Is this what I think it is?
06:57You two!
06:58Mum! Mum!
06:58Well, why don't you lie together?
06:59Is that the heighten?
07:00Just take it easy, eh?
07:01Well!
07:03Yes!
07:04Congratulations!
07:05Please, please, please, just keep your voice down, okay?
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, erm, how's, how's better?
07:15Not great.
07:16You were drinking beer this morning and erm...
07:21I can't believe that Laurel took him to see Ray yesterday.
07:26I'm sure she meant well.
07:27Yeah.
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, yeah.
07:37He deserves a little slice of happiness.
07:39I mean, I mean a big slice.
07:40A big!
07:41Happiness cake!
07:43Oh, you two!
07:48I take it you know what Mum did yesterday.
07:50I 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.
08:09Have a deal.
08:10Do you think I should try and find Bear?
08:15Try and apologise to him?
08:16I think maybe leave it a little bit longer.
08:18Just don't want to make things worse.
08:21Bye.
08:22Hey.
08:23Hello.
08:24You look chipper.
08:25Yeah.
08:26Well, me and Jacob have finally got plans to spend some time together tonight.
08:29It's been ages.
08:30He's been so busy working.
08:31I know.
08:32Bless him.
08:32Practically living in that hospital, isn't he?
08:34Saving lives.
08:35Frazzled.
08:37I'm afraid that's how life is going to be for 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 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.
09:05I'm not looking for advice.
09:08They're just looking out for your well-being.
09:10Yeah, but 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 in other folks' business?
09:22We're just worried about you, that's all.
09:24Well, keep your worry.
09:25And the change.
09:33Oh, listen, Mac, don't see me as your boyfriend's mum.
09:37See me like I'm your mate.
09:39I know I'm your boyfriend's mum, but you know what I'm saying.
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, you know, it's like a breath of fresh air.
09:48Lulu doesn't mind, do you?
09:49No, no, of course not.
09:50But I do have to head back to work soon.
09:52Oh, no, please, stay for another while.
09:56Oh, look, if I'm honest, I can't really face going home.
10:00I mean, I know that sounds terrible.
10:02It's not terrible, isn't it?
10:03We understand.
10:04Right, well, get the drinks in.
10:07Your mum is lovely.
10:09I'm not saying she's not.
10:13Have you got anything with bubbles and stock champagne?
10:16Er, yeah, coming up.
10:17Are you celebrating something?
10:18Yeah!
10:21No.
10:22Oh, I see.
10:24I'm really sorry, love.
10:25No, no. It's fine.
10:30I was just looking for Paddy.
10:32I wanted to apologise for yesterday. Is he about?
10:35You'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.
10:43Cos 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.
10:53There.
10:54I thought you were leaving.
10:57That's not the answer, though, is it?
10:58Oh, no.
10:59Then what do you suggest instead?
11:01Anything but that. Trust me, I know.
11:03Can a man not enjoy a drink in peace in his own home?
11:07Is this because of yesterday? I 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? Cos I'm the one that killed him?
11:18No, not that.
11:20But...
11:20He didn't do the horrible things to me that he did to you.
11:23It was different.
11:25Just go, will you?
11:27Pear...
11:28No. Just go, please.
11:31I want to be left alone.
11:50I can't get it out of my mind.
11:53I close my eyes and all I can see is his face.
11:58It's like he's haunting me.
12:02You'll get through this, Ben.
12:05When?
12:06I don't know.
12:10At least you're back where you belong.
12:12With people who care about you.
12:14They'll get tired of me, soon enough, just like before.
12:18They already are.
12:20Paddy loves you.
12:22You were awful to you yesterday.
12:25That's exactly my point.
12:27I mean, if he didn't care about you, he wouldn't have got angry.
12:30He just wants to protect you.
12:32Yeah, well, I'm the one who killed someone.
12:34I don't deserve protection.
12:41There was one time, when I were at the hospital, having me and your hand stitched up.
12:50I was the only one that Ray would take to see the doctor.
12:56Just me.
12:57And he turned to me.
13:01And...
13:04He called me Dad.
13:11Like he were a young boy.
13:16I saw that in him too, you know.
13:18I saw the same little boy that you saw.
13:21But you weren't, were he?
13:23You were a grown man who worked, people.
13:30I wish I could sleep.
13:35This arm still gives me jib.
13:37Have you seen the doctor?
13:38They won't give me anything.
13:40They say I need to see me counselor.
13:45It's probably for the best, isn't it?
13:51It's not the answer though, is it?
13:53You know, can I get rid of them for you, yeah?
13:55Yeah.
13:58Please.
14:04You'll get through this.
14:06How?
14:08You gotta be kind to yourself.
14:10You know, Manpreet's probably right.
14:13A counselor might be really helpful.
14:16No amount of talking's gonna fix me.
14:20It's gonna take time.
14:22It's not gonna be easy.
14:24But the memories will fade.
14:29Bear.
14:31Bear.
14:34You're not on your own.
14:37I'm here for you.
14:39Whenever you need to talk.
14:47Gabby.
14:48Sorry.
14:49I just wanna apologize for earlier.
14:51What for?
14:52Well, for Mum.
14:54It's fine.
14:54It's not fine though, is it?
14:56Vinny, we live in the same village.
14:58Of course we're gonna bump into each other.
14:59I know, but we shouldn't have been in the first place really, should we?
15:02Vinny, look.
15:03I am happy for you and Lewis.
15:07You sure?
15:08Yeah.
15:09You know, you're a great guy and we had some really lovely times together.
15:15You deserve to be happy.
15:17I'm not too sure about that, but...
15:18Well, I am.
15:20And Thomas thinks so too.
15:22In his own little preschool way.
15:25Thank you, Gabby.
15:27You know, you really are amazing, you know that.
15:30Hardly.
15:30Look, you are, okay?
15:31And you'll find someone who deserves you and who makes you happy.
15:36Well, it'd be nice if that person turned up sometime soon.
15:39They will.
15:40I'm sure of it.
15:47You're pathetic.
15:49Oh, grow up, Arthur.
15:50What, be a sadder like you?
15:52No thanks.
15:53You know, sometimes things aren't simple.
15:56Sometimes you just have to make the best of things and move forward.
15:58But fair enough.
15:59If you want to be so immiscerable for the rest of your life, then that's up to you.
16:07Hey, what's up?
16:08Bad news, I'm afraid.
16:10I need to stay here and work tonight.
16:12Jacob, you promised.
16:14Oh, babe.
16:15Don't give him a hard time.
16:16I'm sorry, there's nothing much I can do about it.
16:19It's just a bit difficult.
16:22At work, I mean.
16:23Was everything okay?
16:25It's fine.
16:26There's nothing I can't handle.
16:29Do you know what? Don't worry about tonight.
16:30You sure?
16:32Yeah, I'll find something to keep myself busy.
16:35I love you.
16:36Okay, love you. Bye.
16:38Bye.
16:44Arvinet and Lewis do make a lovely couple of them, don't they?
16:46Yeah, they do.
16:47Try not to sound too excited.
16:49I am.
16:50It's just early days, isn't it?
16:52Are you getting hurt at yourself?
16:53I can't help it, Neil.
16:55It's just...
16:55It's good news, isn't it?
16:57Maybe.
16:58You're going double dates.
16:59They don't put a bit hanging around with us.
17:01You don't know that.
17:02Of course they do.
17:03Trust me.
17:05Spongebob.
17:06Hi.
17:07I'm glad I bumped into you.
17:10I wanted to say sorry.
17:12It's fine.
17:13Just forget it.
17:14I didn't want to cause any trouble.
17:16I just wanted to help.
17:20I know.
17:21I don't think you succeeded, but...
17:23I shouldn't have spoken to you like that.
17:25Oh, well, you know.
17:26Emotions are running high, aren't they?
17:28Well, they're not running there.
17:29I know you're under a lot of pressure.
17:31You know, with the court case and everything, so...
17:32Well, it's no excuse.
17:33And I'm sorry.
17:35I should never have taken Bear to the chapel of rest.
17:37I'm sorry.
17:38No, you shouldn't.
17:40I understand what you were trying to do, but...
17:43we'd prefer it if you just stayed away for the moment.
17:47Oh, right.
17:48I've just been with him.
17:50Sorry.
17:50I was trying to find you to say sorry.
17:53Alright, fair enough.
17:54He's been drinking.
17:56Yeah.
17:57Yeah, he started early.
17:59Well, we had a good chat and, um...
18:01I got him to pour it away, so I think I helped.
18:04He's calmer now.
18:06We should get back.
18:08Or...
18:08maybe we should give him a bit of space for a while.
18:11Yeah.
18:12Laurel.
18:14I do appreciate your help.
18:15But maybe just...
18:17leave him to us.
18:18For now.
18:20Okay.
18:35He said he intended to get in a full-time meal.
18:36He said he's gone.
18:36He said he's gone.
18:39He said he said he could do something.
18:43He said he didn't get up, but he said he didn't get up.
18:45I'm sorry!
18:46He said he gave me a bit of time.
19:32What are you doing here?
19:33What do you think?
19:34I told you to stay at home.
19:35And I chose to ignore you.
19:37Go home, Sarah.
19:38I don't think so.
19:39Look, I'm not going to tell you again.
19:40Look, I don't care what you say.
19:41I'm coming with you tonight, so let's just get on with it.
19:43I'll just drop you one of these days.
19:44You could try.
19:46This is the last time, all right?
19:48It'll be my last time if it's yours.
19:49Oh, yeah.
19:56Hi, love.
19:59How was your day?
20:07Look, I know you're angry with me, okay?
20:09And I totally understand.
20:12But we are going to have to get over this, okay?
20:17I made a mistake with Ray, all right?
20:20And I really regret it.
20:22I'm sorry.
20:23Yeah, but you're still poking your nose in, though.
20:26What?
20:27Well, out there earlier, with Paddy and Mandy.
20:29Well, I wasn't poking my nose into anything.
20:31Well, it looked like it to me.
20:33I just wish none of this had happened.
20:36But if you're going to behave like a spoiled child, then I'll tell you what.
20:39I don't want to speak to you.
20:41What?
20:42You heard me.
20:43You know, if you hadn't handed that money over, I would have been long gone, enjoying my life, without me
20:48on constant nagging.
20:49Okay, I've had enough of this.
20:51Is that all you're worried about?
20:52It's the truth.
20:54You've ruined everything for me.
20:55Poor Bear is over there, completely broken from what he's been through.
20:59And all you're thinking about is yourself.
21:02You know, I love you, but I don't particularly like you at the moment.
