06:47word
06:47with you the abandoned our best mates he's been keeping me in the dark why should I do anything
06:52for it because he's your brother
07:27following the assessments we believe you have complex post-traumatic stress disorder
07:34or see PTSD throughout your life you've experienced significant trauma and it's now got to the point
07:44where it's difficult to control things so I'm weak is that what you hear I'm saying no control no use
07:55equals equals weak those terms weak no use they feel familiar did you perhaps hear them growing up
08:15my dad didn't love me
08:22oh well you have a harsh tone towards yourself
08:32you're looking forward to seeing your partner later Priya I understand you have children
08:41I am I need to keep a distance I need to protect them from me because because I'm I'm I'm
08:55poison
08:56and they're and they deserve to be happy they deserve to be happy
09:03you're aware of Gristijivan the life of the householder
09:10this has nothing to do with God much of what's been preoccupying you
09:18doing good being selfless protecting others it's central to the faith
09:27now most has shown those values by compassion and love within the family unit
09:33others aren't
09:35why do you uh why do you keep going there
09:40I blame myself no one else
09:43you do acknowledge a problematic relationship with the paternal figures in your life
09:49no no no not anymore because they are dead
10:00they're dead
10:03death often emphasizes the shadow
10:07I can help build an understanding of who you are Ravi and how you got here
10:14I understand it feels like a lot has been taken away
10:18but my aim is to give you back control
10:24so how about we both work together with that in mind
10:35oh
10:46have you been looking for a midnight snack in the dark again
10:52I've got someone here who's going to tell you off about that

18:15These people here, they know what they're doing.
18:17And they're going to help you to see how everything fits.
18:22They're going to help you, and so am I.
18:25You shouldn't have come.
18:28I'm all tough.
18:30I'm serious.
18:32Look, I know you, Ravi.
18:35Okay, you're someone that holds yourself with pride,
18:38so I can understand why this might, I don't know,
18:45it might feel a bit humiliating.
18:48And look, I get that, and I get the need to hide away,
18:51but not from me.
18:53You're setting me off.
18:55So how am I setting you off?
18:56We're done, Priya.
18:57What?
18:59Can someone come in, please?
19:01Ravi, come on, Ravi.
19:03Look, I know what you're doing, and this is self-sabotage.
19:05And I ain't going to let you do it, okay?
19:07I ain't going to let you do it, because I love you.
19:09I don't love you.
19:12I don't love you.
19:18I need to work alone.
19:21Just me.
19:24It's the only way to...
19:26It's the only way to...
19:37Yeah, because we can rebuild her.
19:40Is Mary really 90?
19:42Apparently, no-one's ever actually seen her birth certificate.
19:46Did you guys celebrate?
19:47Oh, well, yeah, well, we're going to, but...
19:50Because I feel like I want to throw her a party.
19:52Is that mad?
19:53It's a mad idea, isn't it?
19:54I can't, James.
19:55You're talking belated.
19:56In fact, you're talking very belated.
19:58Yeah, no, it is mad.
19:59Do you know what?
19:59Forget it, Dorian, but it's fine.
20:02No, no, no, no, no.
20:03Just thinking about it.
20:06I mean, how many more is she going around for?
20:09Alfie?
20:10I don't mean it.
20:10I think it's a great idea.
20:12Big Slater knees up as well overdue.
20:15Oh, okay, I can see it.
20:16You know, I've shaved my chest,
20:18get a new dress,
20:19we'll sort our guest list,
20:20get some grub.
20:21Actually, can you leave it with me?
20:22What?
20:23I want to organise it.
20:24Oh, okay.
20:25You go, girl.
20:29Didn't get jealous, did you?
20:31All them women flitting around me outside.
20:34You really do love yourself, don't you?
20:37Do you kiss yourself in the mirror every morning, don't you, Shane?
20:39Yeah, of course.
20:40So I'm not doing it in my face.
20:45You know you've been the devil to me for so long.
20:50The last week I didn't see that.
20:53I saw an okay person.
20:55Wow.
20:57That is the highest compliment you've ever paid me, I think.
21:00Yeah, well, don't get used to it.
21:01Well, I want to get used to it.
21:04I like to be in Italian.
21:05It's fun.
21:06It's naughty.
21:08You stick two fingers up to the world.
21:12Well, um, what about the kids?
21:16What about him?
21:17What about everyone?
21:18It's nothing.
21:19Who says it have to know?
21:20To what do you reckon?
21:24To danger.
21:27To chaos.
21:31And...
21:32To fun.
21:41Yeah.
21:48Oi.
21:50Did you not hear me earlier?
21:52I phoned you to help with Phil.
21:55So if you're too scared to talk to your brother, why don't you sort off back to Portugal, eh?
21:58You're turning to a right leery little kid, yeah?
22:01Must be in the jeans, mustn't it?
22:03Can you talk to him or what?
22:05I ain't in.
22:06I ain't in.
22:09You and me need to chat.
22:25I mean, the state of him, Phil.
22:27I mean, you promised you'd be there for him.
22:30And Julie as well.
22:32I mean, what's wrong with you?
22:35How can you ignore their suffering?
22:37It's embarrassing.
22:42I thought he was acting weird earlier.
22:46You phoned him, didn't you?
22:49Did you know?
22:51I think you're just avoiding something painful, Phil.
22:54Yeah, well, that's my mate dying.
22:55And not yours.
22:56So how I deal with it, that's my business.
23:00And you?
23:02You bring the ultimate cop out, man, to try and strong-arm me.
23:05You really don't know your old man, do you?
23:07Shutting people out, though, Phil.
23:08Oh, why don't you shut up, eh?
23:09He's right.
23:10You're just scared.
23:12All right?
23:12You don't want to look at it, but you've got to.
23:14Oh, this.
23:15This coming from the woman who hadn't even told her own brother that he had cancer.
23:22What?
23:26Ah, where'd you get to?
23:29So, how'd it go?
23:32Yeah, good.
23:33Kid, Dad sends his love.
23:37Oh, God, that smells amazing.
23:39Thanks for doing that, Sookie.
23:41I'll set the table.
23:43So, how was your day?
23:46All right.
23:47What happened?
23:52Well, he's dumped me.
23:53What?
23:54Yeah.
23:56Said he wants to go it alone.
23:58I'll trigger him or something.
24:01Everything is in pieces and I've got no idea how to fix it.
24:04You can't fix it, Priya.
24:06That's his job.
24:07But the kids, they need a dad and a well one.
24:12So I guess I just have to stomach it.
24:17Is there anything I can do?
24:21Go and see him.
24:23See if he'll keep in contact with you.
24:26If he can.
24:29All right.
24:37So sorry, Sam.
24:39So, what's the situation now?
24:41Are you all right?
24:42Yeah, yeah.
24:42No, look, I'm good.
24:43I got it seen to you quickly, you know?
24:45Apart from check-ups, I'm all clear.
24:49What are you gawping at?
24:51Eh?
24:52No.
24:53I gave you a home.
24:54I put a roof over you.
24:55I thought you was family, but nah.
24:57You're just a little snake.
24:59Oh, don't pick on him, Phil.
25:00It's all right.
25:00Just last night.
25:01You know, why am I even bothering talking to you, eh?
25:02What are you even doing in my ass?
25:04Eh?
25:04Get out!
25:05Get out!
25:06You ain't the only one that's suffering.
25:08Oh, here we go.
25:09Fishing for sympathy.
25:10You used to do that when we were kids and all, didn't you?
25:12You know?
25:12No one ever helps me.
25:14Yeah, well, they don't.
25:15I bet you you've been slagging me off while I've been here.
25:17But when did you ever come and see me?
25:18Well, why has everything got to be down to me?
25:20Eh?
25:20Why is it all down to me?
25:21Why have I got to be the magician who fixes everything?
25:24You and everyone else.
25:25Well, I'll tell you what.
25:25I've had enough.
25:26All right?
25:27I've had enough.
25:28So you can go and sort yourselves out.
25:29Just admit you're scared, Phil.
25:31Scared of what?
25:32I ain't scared.
25:33Because when Nigel dies, you're going to have nothing to focus on.
25:37Okay?
25:37I get it.
25:38And there's feelings that might come.
25:40They could take you somewhere you don't want to go.
25:42To rock bottom.
25:43You can get out.
25:44You can get out and all go on, go.
25:46I need my little baby sister analyse me.
25:48Go on.
25:49Go.
25:49I reckon you're having a go at everyone because you feel guilty.
25:53You ain't done enough for Nigel.
25:54Done.
25:54Done.
25:54Done what I've done.
25:55I've done everything, Grant.
25:57All right?
25:57Everything.
25:58And I would swap places with Nigel in a heartbeat.
26:02But I can't.
26:02I can't.
26:03And it don't matter.
26:04It don't matter how much I want something.
26:05All right?
26:06Because it ain't gonna happen.
26:06It ain't gonna happen for me.
26:08It ain't gonna happen for you.
26:08It ain't gonna happen for anyone.
26:09All right?
26:10Because it's over.
26:12It's over, Grant.
26:13All right?
26:14Nigel.
26:15Nigel.
26:15It's gone.
26:16It's gone.
26:18He spoke to me.

26:24He ain't spoke to me, thanks.
26:25He spoke to me.
26:27He opened his eyes.
26:28Gave me a twinkly little grin.
26:30And he spoke to me.
26:32Yeah.
26:34Yeah.
26:36What did he say?
26:37What did Nigel say?
26:38Yeah, well, that's between me and him, isn't it?
26:39And if you'd been there, you'd have heard.
26:44What's the matter?
26:46Are you jealous I'm a better mate than you are?
26:50Better mate!
26:54No, no, no, no, no.
26:55You don't want to get between them.
26:58Get out!
26:59Out!
27:00You're a mate to Nigel!
27:02Yeah, you're no brother to me!
27:11Now, do you see why Mark called you?
27:14He's on the edge again, Grant.
27:16You're not the only one who can pull him back.
27:18I'm good luck.
