00:00I've got nowhere else I can go after I gave my baby away.
00:06I wish she wasn't part of the deal, so I want twice as much money for this.
00:10We think you might have postnatal depression.
00:12So I'm going to make a doctor appointment for tomorrow,
00:14and then we can start getting you the help that you need.
00:16I want you to help me die.
00:56How would I face Sienna, Nico, Minnie?
00:59How would I explain to them that you just wanted to abandon them?
01:01It's not about wanting to. Of course I don't.
01:03My family mean everything to me.
01:04It's not their decision to make.
01:06I am going to choose the day I die.
01:21Happy birthday!
01:25Come on, Zachy. Have a slice.
01:31I've got to go to school.
01:33Wait, they're doing emergency building work.
01:34Everyone's got the day off.
01:35It's a birthday miracle.
01:37A birthday miracle would be getting more than two lousy presents, right?
01:40But your mum sorted you this free pass to the introduction of football management.
01:44I thought you'd...
01:44Thought what?
01:45That I'd want a runners-up prize for people who ain't good enough to actually play?
01:49No, hold it down a minute, Zach.
01:51You know money's tight since we had to pay off Wayne.
01:53Well, she still found enough money to buy Teresa for the night, though.
01:57Made me look like a total loser.
02:00So let me make it up to you.
02:02Sort something special for your 18th.
02:03What do you want to do?
02:04It's my own thing.
02:07I already told you.
02:09You don't have to go to the funeral. Ben will understand.
02:11Yeah.
02:12I think I'd rather go to school.
02:14Ha.
02:14Never thought I'd hear you say that.
02:18Both of you.
02:19I know I can get through today with my two favourite girls by my side.
02:24I'd better go get changed, then.
02:28No.
02:28It's too much.
02:30It's a crime.
02:31Max?
02:31What's wrong?
02:35Your dad.
02:37He wants me to help him die.
02:43Hey, Jack.
02:43What can I do for you?
02:44Hi, Pete.
02:45Right, Jack.
02:46It's Callie Bradley's funeral today.
02:48Frankie's away.
02:49So the dog wrote it as up the spout.
02:51Which means, Renie, you'd be doing us a massive favour
02:54if you could look after the place for today.
02:56And why would I do that?
02:57I don't work there anymore.
02:58Time and a half.
02:59Pfff.
03:00Double time.
03:02Hey, I could keep you company, babe.
03:04I've got the day off.
03:04Oh, you're a hero in a hard hat.
03:06But, it'd be too much hassle.
03:08Look.
03:09I'll throw you a free meal in, but that's your lot.
03:14Free meal?
03:15Could we have it in November?
03:18Yeah.
03:19Great.
03:20So there'd be, what, 40 of us?
03:23Oh, Jack, that's very generous.
03:26Hosting our wedding lunch for free.
03:28Thank you, Jack.
03:29Nancy, look, I can't talk now.
03:31Yeah, I'm on my way.
03:32Look, I promise you'll be at the hospital on time.
03:36Deal.
03:36Beat the dog by ten.
03:37Nancy, I'm on my way.
03:39Yeah, Cleo.
03:51Do you need this?
03:53Oh.
03:54Desperate?
03:56Someone's desperate for a knee where it hurts.
04:04Never said there was anything in there.
04:06What are you doing here anyway?
04:07Your shift doesn't start till later.
04:08Short and small advance for my wages.
04:11I need to get Zach a birthday present.
04:14There must be some cash somewhere.
04:15There is.
04:16When people pay us for burgers, it's called e-business.
04:19They call you an irritating tool.
04:22Oh, who does?
04:23Um, everyone in the village.
04:25Well, everyone who you've slept with, at least.
04:27Oh, hold on.
04:27That is everyone.
04:29Why are you here giving me a hard time when you should be out getting your brother a birthday
04:32present that costs nothing?
04:36Oh, I don't like that look.
04:40Harry!
04:41Harry!
04:44I need a favour.
04:46We barely have much time left with you as it is.
04:49Why would you want to take that away?
04:51To leave us before you have to?
04:54The final few months of MNT can be devastating, Sienna.
04:58My father wasted away to almost nothing.
05:00I can't put you through that.
05:02So you think you're protecting us?
05:04I'm doing it because I love you.
05:11Do you see this girl?
05:13Ben would give anything for one more hour with her.
05:16One more minute.
05:18Yeah, but it's too late for him.
05:19But it's not for us.
05:21And I swear I will do whatever it takes to stop you from going through with this.
05:25Going through with what?
05:26Don't.
05:28Please.
05:31Your grandad had a mad idea.
05:34But now he's realised how foolish it was.
05:38I'm illegal.
05:42What's happening?
05:44Dad, please. She needs you.
05:47I need you.
05:48I need you.
05:49We won't hold it together without you.
05:53Grandad?
05:54Are you gonna kill yourself?
05:56No, of course he isn't.
06:01Now, do you see what it'd do to them?
06:04To me?
06:05Are you really gonna ask me to kill the man that I love?
06:09The father of my beautiful little girl?
06:16You're right.
06:20Of course you are.
06:21I'm needed here.
06:26I'm sorry yesterday. I just...
06:29I don't know what I was thinking.
06:37I don't think Perry's ever fully bonded with the baby.
06:42She's been struggling since the day Steph was born.
06:44Is this the case?
06:47Everyone said it would be okay once I had her.
06:51But you hold your baby in your arms and you just suddenly know what to do.
06:57But with Steph, I...
06:59I never felt any of that.
07:03And I hate myself.
07:05I hate letting it down and letting Tom down.
07:09She understands now, though.
07:11It's not her fault.
07:12Well, of course it isn't.
07:13She can't help how she feels, can she?
07:16She hasn't been herself.
07:18Not with me.
07:20Not with Steph.
07:21Not with anyone.
07:23So it must be postnatal depression, right?
07:25Well, let's not jump to any conclusions just yet.
07:28We'll need a few more sessions to determine that.
07:31Now, Perry, most people choose to see me on their own.
07:35No.
07:36No, I want Nancy and Tom here.
07:38Okay.
07:39Well, I'll get my secretary to make another appointment next week just for you.
07:43Then we'll get a confirmed diagnosis and a clear treatment plan.
07:46How does that all sound?
07:49Really good, thank you.
07:52You are so brave.
07:55Of you.
07:59Yeah, I just wanted to treat you to a bit of lunch.
08:02So you make me trip halfway across the village on crutches for lunch when I can get a family freedom
08:07whenever I want.
08:08And it's supposed to be your idea of a treat?
08:10Yeah, it is.
08:11Now go on.
08:13Surprise!
08:17Happy birthday, little bro.
08:19Free entry to the party of the year if you buy a free burger.
08:22Or Lisa's idea.
08:23She arranged the whole thing.
08:25Cheers, son.
08:27I'm sorry about date gate.
08:31Just saw you so down and I was trying to cheer you up.
08:34And you have.
08:35It turns out I've got the kindest big sister in the world.
08:38And the fittest.
08:39Harry.
08:39Hey, hey, hey.
08:40You do know I'm related to her, innit?
08:42But he's right.
08:44You do look beautiful.
08:46Thanks.
08:49Aww.
08:55Remember, you have to chew it 30 times before you swallow.
08:59Leave me alone.
09:01What?
09:02I think you'll get indigestion?
09:03No way.
09:04I'm a hero in a hard heart, remember.
09:06Indigestion?
09:07You're the one that's making me feel sick.
09:09Sorry for bigging myself up.
09:11Stop that.
09:13It's Mum.
09:15She's making a fool of herself.
09:16She's planning a big day and drooling over a perfect fiancé.
09:20And you're letting her.
09:21And you're supposed to be breaking things off.
09:23I know.
09:23I know.
09:25It's hard for me, Cle.
09:27Lying.
09:28Well, just tell her the truth.
09:29I will.
09:30When?
09:30When you're cutting the cake or at the first dance?
09:35I don't want to hurt her.
09:37And neither do you.
09:40You will always be my little Cleopatra.
09:43My one true love.
09:45You know that.
09:46Yeah.
09:47I know.
09:49But...
09:49When will everybody else?
09:54Gotta go.
09:59Why would Grandad want to leave us?
10:01Oh, don't worry about that now, sweetheart.
10:03Okay?
10:03He's gonna be with us for a long while yet.
10:06Is it because of me?
10:08Is it because of Carly?
10:13My girl.
10:17Mum, I don't think I can do this.
10:19I know how you feel.
10:21But if you can be brave today, then...
10:23then I can too.
10:25Oh, Ben.
10:26I'm so sorry, darling.
10:30I'm sorry.
10:31Who the hell are you?
10:33I'm Sadie.
10:34His ex-wife.
10:47Patrick?
10:49The nursery rang today and said Minnie ate all of her dinner.
10:51Good.
10:53Oh.
10:54What are you trying to hide?
10:55Nothing.
10:56Come on, let me have a look.
10:57Maxine.
10:58Patrick.
10:58Maxine is private.
10:59Maxine is private!
11:00Yeah, just let me...
11:08Do you need to be a text?
11:09Oh, well, Lisa said she wanted all of Zach's mates here, so...
11:15Uh, do you fancy a burger or...?
11:18I've already eaten.
11:22What are you doing here?
11:23You don't even know Zach.
11:24Oh, I know you.
11:25Look, I've got this impossible essay and I thought you could help me with it.
11:28Sit hands up!
11:29Why don't you say that to Mercy or John Paul?
11:32Lisa.
11:34She wants a free burger.
11:35Is she on the list?
11:36Don't worry.
11:37I'll solve this.
11:38The least you owe me is a free burger.
11:40Let's see.
11:41It's the rest of the fee you owe me.
11:42That you haven't coughed up yet.
11:44Don't you think you've humiliated Zach enough for one week?
11:46You're not even invited.
11:49Who's she?
11:51She's kind of a friend.
11:53Oh, really?
11:54Why are you being so mean?
11:55Jade, shut your mouth and stop making things worse.
11:59And?
12:00All right.
12:01You can have one free burger.
12:03As long as you go nowhere near my family.
12:05Who'd want to, eh?
12:07My family's here anyway.
12:09Aunty Rini!
12:10Hop on board, we've got free burgers!
12:11Right, let's get this party started.
12:13Ooh!
12:18It's Jack, right?
12:20Yeah.
12:20Sadie.
12:21Oh, hello.
12:22It's nice to finally meet you.
12:24Hi.
12:24Listen, I know that Ben wouldn't have had the nicest things to say about me, but...
12:28Well, that's not really important on a day like today, is it?
12:31True.
12:33Heard you reckon he's holding up?
12:35I have no idea.
12:36You know what he's like.
12:37He...
12:38He always hides how he really feels.
12:41So what's the story with this new girlfriend?
12:44Sienna, is it?
12:45Look at her.
12:46Cozying up to Jack.
12:48You really don't like her, do you?
12:50Mom, can we go home, please?
12:53Yes.
12:56What are you staring at, Sadie?
12:58Why are you even here?
12:59Ben, no, no.
13:00No.
13:01No, I need to hear what she's got to say for herself.
13:04Why did you come today?
13:05You hated Carly.
13:06That's not true.
13:07Carly meant the world to me.
13:09I loved her too, Ben.
13:11I just...
13:12I hated seeing what her addiction was doing to you.
13:14I thought you should have been cruel to be kind.
13:17That's...
13:17Cruel?
13:18I'll tell you what's cruel.
13:20Keeping a father from his sons, that's cruel.
13:23I need them, Sadie.
13:25Now more than ever.
13:26I need my boys.
13:29I...
13:31I lost my daughter.
13:33And if you hadn't...
13:34Hey.
13:35No, I'm fine.
13:39Sorry, I'm...
13:40I just need some air.
13:42You said you were wrong before, so what's changed?
13:47Patrick!
13:47I was wrong.
13:48To involve you, I can do it alone.
13:52I don't need you!
13:56Maxine, listen.
13:59Sorry.
14:01Of course, I want to stay with you.
14:04With my family for as long as I can, but I can't face what I know is to come.
14:10I'm sorry, but I just can't do it.
14:14So you'll...
14:14Yes.
14:16I'm gonna do it myself.
14:19If someone was helping me, well, then I could afford more time.
14:25But without that, I have to do it much sooner, while I am physically capable.
14:31You know what that'll do to me.
14:33To all of us.
14:35It's not about that.
14:36I want Minnie to make more memories of her daddy.
14:39I want to make more memories of you.
14:41No, I want those to be happy memories, not memories of a man struggling to take a breath.
14:49But when I stop being able to use my hands, it will no longer be my choice, Maxine.
15:00And that could be soon.
15:10Unless I help you.
15:14That'll give you more time, right?
15:19Long enough to say a proper goodbye.
15:29I can't ask you to do that.
15:31You were right earlier.
15:33You don't have to.
15:35I'm offering.
15:41I...
15:42will help you die.
16:11Stay away from Ben.
16:14He needs to learn from his past mistakes and not make them all over again.
16:18Who do you think you are to lecture me like this?
16:20Me?
16:21I'm a working mother of two well-adjusted children who's never spent any time locked up in a madhouse.
16:27You?
16:29Yeah.
16:31Well, it's typical of Ben.
16:33First Carly's mother, then Carly, then you.
16:36He really does have a soft spot for damaged head cases.
16:39I am not a head case.
16:40Really?
16:41That's not what Jack Osborne says.
16:44You devious cow.
16:45You want Ben back, don't you?
16:47Please, don't be ridiculous.
16:49I think that silly little mind of yours is playing tricks on you again.
16:53Do you need me to call you a doctor?
16:55Why didn't I see it before?
16:57You're single.
16:58Still.
16:58And you're kicking yourself because you ended things with Ben.
17:01But you know what, Sadie?
17:02He won't be yours ever again because he loves me and he hates you.
17:06That is where you are wrong, sweetheart.
17:09I am going to bury your relationship with Ben just like I buried my Waste of Space stepdaughter today.
17:14Don't you dare talk about Carly like that.
17:16Why not? She's gone. She's dead.
17:19And now that she's out of the picture, I am getting Ben back.
17:23No, you're not.
17:25Oh, wow.
17:27Oh, it's Wednesday, Adam.
17:28Ben is like a dad to me.
17:30I won't let you see him in.
17:31Nico, stop it.
17:34Well, now I can totally see why Ben's with you.
17:36Hmm?
17:37Loony single mother.
17:38Feral daughter.
17:40What a catch.
17:45Nico, you have got to control yourself.
17:46You mean let a woman like that seal Ben from us?
17:49No, she's not going to. Ben hates her.
17:52You'd better be right.
17:56Cup of tea, ham and cheese sliced sandwich. Your favourite, right?
18:00Can I get you anything else?
18:02I'll go.
18:16Oh, there you are.
18:18Hey, I was just about to come and get you.
18:21Yes, well, now I've got you.
18:25Today's been tough.
18:27But it's made me see things a lot more clearly.
18:29And I've made a decision.
18:31About what?
18:33My sons.
18:35They found Carly's death really difficult.
18:38So, I'm going to stay with them.
18:41And Sadie.
18:42For a little while.
18:43To help them get through this.
18:45Like you helped me get through this.
18:47They need me at the moment.
18:49So do I.
18:50This doesn't change anything between us.
18:52I love you.
18:55And I'll still see you loads.
18:57This might be my one chance to reconnect with my boys.
19:00Yeah, and with her.
19:01What?
19:02Can't you see it, Ben?
19:03She's using Carly's death to steal you from me.
19:06Excuse me.
19:06I would never.
19:08I...
19:08Sienna, don't do this.
19:09She told me in the toilets.
19:11Hey, she called Carly a messed up waste of space.
19:13She's just trying to get her clothes back into you.
19:15Why is she saying all this?
19:16Why is she being so cruel?
19:17Ben, she is playing you and you're falling for it.
19:20She's going to stop it.
19:21Okay.
19:21I'm sorry I wasn't going to say anything but...
19:24Look.
19:25She attacked me in the toilets in a jealous rage.
19:29That is not true.
19:30Okay.
19:30She threatened me and now she's manipulating you.
19:33She's using your own children to try and get back with you.
19:35Enough.
19:36Leave her alone.
19:37No, I will not.
19:38She is a deceitful, conniving witch.
19:40You know what?
19:41Just leave us both alone.
19:53Well, go after him.
19:55Fight for him.
19:56No, Nico.
19:57I can't fight anymore.
19:59Yeah, I've lost him.
20:01Like I lost Mark.
20:02Like I'm losing my dad.
20:03He said he was right.
20:04I am damaged.
20:06It's no wonder everybody wants to leave me.
20:08What about me?
20:09I'm not going to leave you.
20:10You're different.
20:11You...
20:12What?
20:12Don't count.
20:14No.
20:15No, you will not betray me again.
20:21One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, three.
20:25No, no, you've got to leave me the right, not the left.
20:28Surely you must remember you still love this dance.
20:30Yeah, but you've kept practicing.
20:31I haven't.
20:32One, two, three.
20:35One, two, three.
20:35One, three.
20:36One.
20:36Oh!
20:37Oh!
20:38You suck at this, innit?
20:40At least I'm trying.
20:42Unlike some people.
20:43What, you expect Zach to bust some moves while he's on his crutches?
20:46Yeah, that's the only upside to these dumb things.
20:48No ancient dancing teams with my ancient pups.
20:51I still got it, son.
20:55Come.
20:56We won.
20:57Clean.
20:58Clean.
20:58Have a look.
20:58Bridesmaid dresses.
20:59They are total beauties.
21:00I'll look later.
21:01I'm just going to go get some air.
21:07Your fiancée's in there.
21:08Look at your weight.
21:10For how long, Pete?
21:11Weeks?
21:12Pumps?
21:12Years?
21:14We could pop home now.
21:15Everybody's out.
21:17No.
21:18You don't get to do that whilst you're still with Mum.
21:27Nico, I'll get a text.
21:36Oh!
21:41Nico!
21:42What are you doing?
21:43Nico, let me help.
21:44What are you doing?
21:47What are you doing?
21:54What do you think?
21:59I'm having a beer.
22:01Give it back, Sonia.
22:09Don't ever call me that name again.
22:11You've enough secrets, aren't you?
22:12Only one.
22:14And we'll both be in serious trouble if they find out.
22:16I've seen you, you know.
22:18Seen what?
22:19Laughing too loud.
22:20Staring.
22:21Fighting your lip the way you always do.
22:23What are you on about?
22:24You love him, don't you?
22:27You love Zach.
22:34Nico!
22:36Nico!
22:37Let me out.
22:38This is ridiculous.
22:40What are you trying to do?
22:42I'm gonna teach you a lesson.
22:56Ooh, more tomorrow at seven, and there's support information available online at channel4.com slash support.
23:02Now, it's shaping up to be a killer birthday week for Hollyoaks, and all four will be marking
23:06up on the occasion with a very special box set.
23:08Keep an eye out for it, including the very first episode next tonight's Beware Free Stuff.
23:12The poor fella.
23:14You'll see why.
23:15It's bad-ish.
23:16Robots, next.
23:26Nico!
23:26Let me out.
23:29Nico!
23:30Let me out!
23:31What's going on?!
