00:00MUSIC
00:23Yeah, thanks for covering Elia. I really appreciate it.
00:26Yeah, I will.
00:27Alright, bye.
00:30Is there anything I can do?
00:31Cover the lunchtime rush at speed, darling.
00:33I know, you must be really overwhelmed right now.
00:35I'm just worried about Sam.
00:36I'm not really understanding how a smart, happy kid ends up in this state.
00:43It's my fault.
00:45What?
00:47There's been a few instances of kids being found with ADHD medication at school.
00:52Obviously it was confiscated, but I should have seen the signs in Sam.
00:55Yeah, maybe you should.
00:57I'm sorry, Leanne.
00:59Are we okay?
01:01Yeah, we're fine.
01:02It's not you. I'm just worried about him, that's all.
01:06Well, that's why you're such an amazing mum.
01:08Right, I've gotta go.
01:10Give Sam my love.
01:14So, this witness saw you grab Mal?
01:17Well, he never seen me walk away, so he's put two and two together and decided to call that loser
01:21to collapse.
01:22Well, maybe just don't call him that.
01:24So, this bloke, he thinks that you're to blame, but he's decided that he's gonna keep his mouth shut. Why?
01:30I told him it was in his best interest to keep quiet, that's all.
01:33What, because you threatened him?
01:34I had to.
01:35What, like you had to confront Mal?
01:37Right, well, I just wanted him to leave Bernie alone. It's not my fault he had a heart attack, is
01:41it?
01:41I know, but, like, if they link you to this, that is it, that is your career, done.
01:45Yeah, thanks for the update, babe.
01:46How are you so calm?
01:48Oh, I need caffeine.
01:52What?
01:53Were you two just talking about me?
01:55No, of course not.
01:56Well, why have you gone silent, then?
01:57We haven't.
01:58We were just talking about Sam, just wondering what to take to the hospital.
02:03Well, I've already sorted it, I'm gonna go and get him some pastries from Roy's and a puzzle or something
02:07to keep his mind on business.
02:08Yeah, sounds good.
02:09Yeah, erm, I'll make you coffee if you want, while you get ready.
02:12I don't think you two need any more coffee, though.
02:18Look, I can handle Rich and any of those other slimeballs at Fabian's.
02:22I just wanted to tell you what's been going on.
02:26They've threatened their ex-employees, we could have them shut down.
02:29It's my word against theirs.
02:31Look, I've told Rich that I'm not playing ball and that I won't be blackmailed.
02:35If it blows up in my face, then that's on me.
02:38Do you want me to cancel this meeting with Jenna Mackie?
02:40No.
02:41No, we can't let Rich bully us.
02:43Go ahead as planned.
02:45You sure?
02:47Right.
02:48I better go.
02:49I need to get prepped.
02:50I've got to bring my egg in.
02:51You always do.
02:52Back at you, babe.
02:56Hello.
02:58Hey, are you alright?
02:59Hey, what I don't get, how did he even get hold of the ADHD medication in the first place?
03:04Well, for every good kid, there's a fair few wrong-uns that'll get you whatever you want.
03:08But Sam doesn't hang around with anyone like that.
03:11I'm not meaning to gag in, but isn't Sam like, you know, the most perfect kid?
03:15Two coffees, please.
03:17Nina.
03:22You all talk about Sam like he's a sweet little innocent.
03:26Yeah, he is, but...
03:27I mean, he was obviously struggling and thought he'd found a solution.
03:31Mmm.
03:32She wasn't on my radar for that sort of thing at all.
03:36Mmm.
03:37Can't be easy being the smartest kid in the room.
03:40Too much pressure on the little guys.
03:42Mmm.
03:43Seek off his ticket.
03:46One bean and cheese toastie, please, Nina.
03:48I might need to change my training schedule, if that's alright.
03:52Yeah?
03:52Shall we compare calendars?
03:53I think I might wait outside.
03:55Okay.
03:56Cheers.
04:01What's the answer about Sam?
04:03Nothing, I'm on top of it.
04:05I just feel like he's gonna blob.
04:07Maybe I should bunk off and go see him.
04:10No, I've already sorted it.
04:11He won't say a word.
04:14Er...
04:14Yeah, 5.30 works for me.
04:17Right, I'll see you later for training, yeah?
04:18Yeah.
04:21Er, David used to peel the stickers off and tell us he'd solved it.
04:24Why does that not surprise me?
04:26No sticker peeling for you, though you're as smart as they come.
04:28Yeah, and yet you felt the need to take drugs, didn't you?
04:31Nick.
04:31Oh, come on, I can't ignore the elephant in the room.
04:33Why don't I go and get you a hot chocolate?
04:36Yeah.
04:47I told you I was stressed.
04:50I won't do it again, Dad.
04:53I promise.
04:55That's it.
04:58I'm not worried about anything else.
05:02You can tell me anything, you know that, don't you?
05:06It's just the exams.
05:09Don't you two need to get to work?
05:11Hmm.
05:12All right, Dad.
05:13Yeah, well, Leanne's here now to take over, so that's our queue, isn't it?
05:16Yeah.
05:18Hey, look, I'll be back in a few hours.
05:22I love you, mate, yeah?
05:24Yeah.
05:34Right, come on.
05:36It wasn't just about the exams, was it?
05:38I need you to be honest with me.
05:40The machine was out of order.
05:41Oh.
05:42Hi, Leanne.
05:43Hi.
05:45Well, that's great.
05:46I appreciate you letting me know.
05:48Okay, thanks.
05:49Bye-bye.
05:50Busy morning.
05:51Are you asking me or telling me?
05:53Where have you been?
05:54Over slept.
05:55But I'm due some time, anyway.
05:57Mmm.
05:57Sleep, I remember it well.
05:59Maybe keeping you up.
06:00Ugh.
06:01I forgot just how exhausting a little human can be.
06:04I'll tell you what would save me some energy, though.
06:06My colleagues were pulling the weight.
06:08Meaning what?
06:11Mal Rupert's attacker.
06:12Any leads?
06:12The guy's gone walkies.
06:13What do you want me to do about it?
06:15Hmm.
06:16Well, it might not matter too much now, anyway.
06:18That was the doctor on the phone before.
06:20Get yourself down to the hospital.
06:21Mal's awake.
06:24I'm gonna pop in today, if I can.
06:26Okay.
06:26We'd like that.
06:28Maybe I'll go over there with you.
06:29I've left him teaching Bethany how to do that cube.
06:32Oh, he'll be lucky.
06:36Aw, thank you.
06:37Cheers.
06:38Thanks, mate.
06:42Puss, Sam.
06:43Puss seems in perspective, doesn't it?
06:45I suppose it does.
06:46It certainly does.
06:47Do you know what?
06:48We'll need to embrace the day.
06:49I'm gonna have the beetroot carpaccio.
06:52I'm gonna drink myself to a little glass of red.
06:54While you're wearing white, you'll end up looking like a Jackson Pollock.
06:57Well, I'll put my napkin on.
06:59If you do that, I'll leave right now.
07:01Oh, you're trying to say that you're embarrassed by your oldest and dearest mate.
07:04Yes, always.
07:08I think that cheese balm next to a corpse is looking pretty great right now.
07:13Do you know what?
07:13Beetroot.
07:14Terrible idea.
07:14Yeah, come on, let's go Rovers.
07:15No, no, it's all right.
07:16Look, I'll get the drinks in.
07:29Hey.
07:31Girls stay out.
07:34You and Andy are just getting a bite to eat.
07:37Do you want me to introduce you?
07:38No.
07:39Oh, come on, he's sitting us chatting now, don't be rude.
07:41Andy!
07:42Please, Theo.
07:46This is Todd.
07:47Todd, this is Andy.
07:48Hiya.
07:49Why are you doing this?
07:50We've only just broken up.
07:52Todd?
07:54Andy's after some scaffolding for an office block project.
08:01Do you know what?
08:02I've got a hankering for some hot pot.
08:03Shall we go?
08:06I am never gonna get the hang of this.
08:08It's just memorising the sequences.
08:11It seems complicated, but it isn't.
08:13It's like algebra.
08:14Hm.
08:14That doesn't fill me with much confidence.
08:16I just mean once you get it, you get it.
08:19Well, maybe it's time to give your brain a bit of a rest, eh?
08:23Yeah, do you know what?
08:24I did say that I would pick up some bits from fresh scoes, so...
08:27How about we do these lessons again when you get home?
08:30Yeah?
08:31Chin up.
08:32I'll see you soon.
08:32See you.
08:36See you.
08:38You can stare at that thing all you like.
08:40I don't need eye contact.
08:42But what I do need is for you to tell me why you were so afraid of Megan.
08:49Sam, I love you and it's my job to protect you.
08:52So if that woman has said anything or done anything to make you feel scared, then you can tell me.
08:58And I promise, across my heart, I'll look after you.
09:01Yeah.
09:04I can't.
09:05Yeah, you can.
09:06You can.
09:07I promise I'm not gonna let anybody hurt you.
09:14It's Megan and Will.
09:16What about Megan and Will?
09:33Megan and Will.
09:35They're together.
09:37They're seeing each other.
09:41What, as in having a relationship?
09:44Yeah.
09:45Like boyfriend and girlfriend.
09:47I don't...
09:47I don't think so, Sam.
09:49It's been going on for a while, I reckon.
09:51Maybe that's why she came here.
09:53Well, she got a job at Weather Eye because she wanted a new start.
09:55And there's a several lad.
09:57One of Will's mates from back home.
09:59She did the same to him.
10:01I heard him tell Will they'd slept together.
10:04Now that is a very silly teenage boys' fantasy.
10:07It's not true.
10:07I promise I'm not lying.
10:09Sam, Megan is around kids every day.
10:12They trust her.
10:13There's no way she's abusing any of them.
10:15She is.
10:16She's abusing Will.
10:18I saw him go up to her flat.
10:19Well, she's his trainer.
10:21Look, love, I know her.
10:23She was round our house for Christmas.
10:25She's your pigging roommate.
10:26Sam wouldn't lie.
10:28No, I'm not...
10:30I'm not saying that you're lying, darling.
10:33I'm just saying that you've misunderstood.
10:35It's not true.
10:36Who?
10:36I saw them and then...
10:37And then what?
10:40I knew no-one would believe me, so I put a camera in the flat.
10:43But Megan found out.
10:45I don't know how, but she did.
10:48And she made it look like Will fancied her.
10:49Right, well, there you go.
10:50He did have a crush on her.
10:51No, I don't think...
10:54They're together.
10:56I know they are.
10:57Sam, you can't go around planting cameras and playing detectives
11:01because you've got a hunch.
11:04It's a little bit sick.
11:06Megan is sick.
11:07So, is that what you were talking about when she was here?
11:10When?
11:10Sam.
11:13Yeah.
11:15She said if I blabbed about her and Will,
11:17then she'd tell everyone about the camera,
11:19and I was trying to spy on her.
11:22She said everyone would believe I was a little weirdo.
11:24So she threatened you?
11:26A disgusting cow.
11:27How could she do that?
11:28How could she do any of this?
11:29Will's just a kid.
11:31Look, love, this is getting really far-fetched now.
11:33Where's your proof?
11:35I haven't got any.
11:37Exactly.
11:39Now everyone knows about my overdose.
11:41Do you all just think I'm lying?
11:43No.
11:43Not lying, just mistaken.
11:46He's not mistaken.
11:47Everyone loves Megan.
11:50My dad, Toya.
11:52You.
11:55Everyone thinks she's really nice.
11:56Yeah, well, that stops now, Sam.
11:58She's twisted.
11:59I'm sorry.
12:00Are you honestly telling me that a woman that has been in my home
12:03around my family is what?
12:05A child groomer?
12:09Oh, come on.
12:10Good night.
12:13It's all right, Sam.
12:14I believe you.
12:15Thank you for telling us.
12:16It's all right.
12:25Hey.
12:26Hey.
12:28Have you got a minute?
12:29I'm sorry.
12:29I got it wrong.
12:31It's okay.
12:32It's all right.
12:33You were hurt.
12:34Well, no.
12:35I was jealous, actually.
12:36And I've got no right to be.
12:37Well, don't be so hard on yourself.
12:39It was just a misunderstanding.
12:41I just...
12:43don't think I was ready to...
12:45see you dating again already.
12:49No, I wasn't.
12:51And I wouldn't.
12:52That makes you feel better.
12:54Why are you being so understanding?
12:57Well, cos...
12:58your heart's broke.
13:01And I know what that feels like, cos...
13:05So is mine.
13:08I mean, if we both feel like that, then...
13:11I think it's Todd.
13:15I'm not dating anyone at the minute, but...
13:18The time will come for both of us.
13:21I don't want anybody else.
13:24Who knows? You know.
13:26Maybe one day we could be mates.
13:29Having a party together.
13:33All I want is for you to be happy.
13:36I mean, we were.
13:38Sometimes.
13:40Weren't we?
13:42We were.
13:46When it was good, it was...
13:49electric.
13:52The other couple you'd want to be.
13:54But when it was bad...
13:59It was...
14:01really bad?
14:03No, maybe it was...
14:05too much passion.
14:07Too much adoration.
14:11You were the love of my life.
14:13But...
14:16I did it all wrong with you.
14:19I made mistakes as well.
14:22Yeah, we both did.
14:26I owe you so much.
14:33I feel I'll always love you.
14:48Take care of yourself, Todd, eh?
15:09Take care of yourself, Todd, eh?
15:11Yeah.
15:12Is this his room?
15:13It is.
15:15No need to look so worried.
15:16He's doing well.
15:17You family?
15:18No.
15:20DC Green.
15:22Well...
15:23It's been very chatty this morning, so I'm sure I'll answer all your questions.
15:26Yes.
15:36I would just know.
15:38Not necessarily.
15:39Look, I think we just need to listen to what she's got to say.
15:44Knock, knock.
15:46I, er...
15:47I told work it was a family emergency.
15:51What's happened?
15:52Well, that's what we want to know.
15:54You and Will.
15:55You got something to tell us?
16:00Oh, erm...
16:03Er...
16:04Yeah, yeah, I have.
16:07I'm so sorry.
16:10You sorry?
16:12I'm guessing Sam spoke to one of you.
16:15What, you been expecting this?
16:16Er, yeah, I have.
16:21Meanwhile, erm...
16:23It is more than a teacher-pupil relationship.
16:29I've been so stupid.
16:32As soon as I knew he had a crush, I should have came straight to you, Eva.
16:35I knew he had a crush.
16:36Well, that's hardly news.
16:40You know, I think the world of Will.
16:43He is a wonderful athlete, and he could go so far,
16:47and I really thought we were making progress, but...
16:50Then he confessed.
16:52That he likes me.
16:54And then he tried to...
16:57He tried to kiss me, and I...
16:59Obviously, obviously, I pushed him away.
17:01He's a boy, a child, but...
17:05I should have told you.
17:07Yeah, you should have.
17:09I know I've been such an idiot, but I just...
17:11I didn't want to embarrass him.
17:12No.
17:13No, you're not an idiot.
17:15Sam said that you and Will are in a relationship,
17:16and you threatened him to keep him quiet.
17:18Yeah.
17:20Look, maybe the way I spoke to Sam was a bit much.
17:23It... it got heated.
17:24I'm... I'm sorry.
17:25I should never have got angry with him.
17:28But...
17:28I was scared.
17:30I saw my whole life.
17:33My career, everything I've worked for go up in flames
17:36just because a teenager has a silly fantasy.
17:38So you're saying this is all in Will's head?
17:41Look...
17:42He's a good kid.
17:43And when I told him no, he was just embarrassed,
17:46but then Sam got the wrong end of the stick.
17:48Oh, right, so Sam's lying, isn't he?
17:49No, he just got it wrong, Leanne.
17:50Yeah, that... that's what I thought.
17:54It's my fault.
17:55If I'd have just been honest from the start,
17:57we'd appreciate it if you were from now on.
18:01Of course, yeah.
18:04I'm really sorry.
18:07Look, I can stay as long as you want.
18:09We can wait for Will,
18:11and he'll back up everything I've just said.
18:12No, no, I don't want Will here.
18:15You can go, darling.
18:18Thanks for coming, and...
18:21I really appreciate your honesty.
18:34Do you believe her?
18:37Not a flaming word.
18:42You suffered a heart attack.
18:45Yeah.
18:46Because someone...
18:48threatened me.
18:51Got me up against the wall.
18:53Got all up in me face.
18:56Wanted to terrify me.
18:58And I'm ashamed to say...
19:01It worked.
19:03I was so scared.
19:07The heart gave up.
19:09I tried to...
19:12You...
19:13Do you remember who it was?
19:16I've been racking my brain trying to remember, but...
19:21It's gone.
19:23Always did have a shocking memory.
19:26So you don't recall...
19:27He was a big guy.
19:30Strong.
19:32Strong arms.
19:34Must be one of them...
19:35Jim Neanderthals.
19:38You know the type.
19:40Got nothing going on up there.
19:41So the only way they know how to communicate is violence.
19:44Or blame the parents.
19:47The mothers.
19:51I feel sorry for blokes like that.
19:54They're pathetic really, aren't they?
19:57Come on.
19:58Don't you agree?
20:00Losers use their fists.
20:02Because they got nowhere else.
20:06So if you don't remember who it was, I'll...
20:08I'll get off.
20:10Hold on.
20:11You're the police officer.
20:13What can you tell me?
20:16Very little at the minute.
20:17So you don't know who taught me?
20:20I'll do everything in my power to find out.
20:23Good.
20:24Because they want locking up.
20:27Don't they?
20:30Oh, I nearly forgot.
20:33Say hello to your mum for me.
20:43I can't believe they did that to you.
20:44That's three against one.
20:46Well, that's gonna take more than the Witches of Eastwick to scare me.
20:49But they believe you.
20:50For now.
20:51What do you mean?
20:53Oh, come on, Will.
20:55Sam's blabbed. I'm either gonna stick around to see what happens next.
20:58Well, wherever you're going, so am I.
21:02Yeah, yeah, I know. Of course you are.
21:05You know, as long as we're together, we'll be...
21:06We'll be alright.
21:09So you're gonna keep it quiet from Ben?
21:11Paddy's day. He's out on the lash.
21:13I can't tell him when he's five pints in, can I?
21:15We need to tell the police.
21:17Well, DC Green's sat over there nursing a pint.
21:20No. Ben's not got a clue.
21:22I will tell him in the morning.
21:24That's one hangover he won't forget.
21:26And then we'll go to the station, yeah? All of us.
21:28And what if she gets out of it, like she tried to with us?
21:30She won't. We're gonna need proof.
21:32Proper evidence of just how twisted she is.
21:34I am not using Will as bait.
21:36She's been abusing him.
21:38Look, I'll tell Ben in the morning
21:40and then we can all go to the police station together.
21:42Eva, she can't wriggle out of this. She needs locking up.
21:45She will be.
22:00Bye.
22:02Bye.
