05:20you
05:21you
05:21you
05:48I told you.
05:51Nobody beats me.
06:29What do you want?
06:33What do you want?
06:37Why did you do it to me?
06:38I told you.
06:57There's no way out, Ravi.
07:26Do you believe her?
07:29Accusing me like that?
07:30Well, obviously, I don't know what went on back then.
07:33Nothing!
07:33I mean, she's clearly made up a story in her head.
07:36Well, what I'm trying to say is, like, I was bullied at school and it was rotten.
07:40So maybe, I don't know, if she felt that way, maybe seeing you brought it all back for her.
07:45There were loads of us in our group.
07:46Why single me out?
07:48Well, because I was the loudest?
07:49I mean, the most popular?
07:50That's not my fault.
07:52Her face when she saw us pretending to be her.
07:56We weren't being malicious.
07:57I think we acted like a couple of mean girls.
08:00No, I'm gonna go.
08:01All right?
08:02Look, look, I'm not saying that I was Little Miss Innocent.
08:06But I weren't a bully.
08:07Oh, I know.
08:10Ravi, what the hell are you playing at?
08:12Just call me as soon as you get this.
08:15Anything?
08:15I've been to Mum's, the Vic, the Mini Mart, no sign.
08:18And no one has spoken to have seen him.
08:20I went in the gym or the cafe were.
08:22Okay.
08:22Well, there's no need to panic just yet, yeah?
08:25I'll keep trying him.
08:26You can check the chicken shop and you can do one last week, Mandy.
08:29You don't think anything's happened to him, do you?
08:30No.
08:31No, of course not.
08:32He's gonna be fine.
08:33But, er, the sooner we find him, the better, yeah?
08:35Yeah.
08:36Yeah, you're all right.
08:47Oh.
08:49You're back early.
08:51No eligible gentleman that took your fancy.
08:53It was a school reunion, not speed dating.
08:56Although that would have probably been more fun.
08:58No.
09:00The kids go down okay?
09:02Yeah, yeah.
09:03Annie was as good as gold.
09:04Ollie was a bit quiet.
09:05You, er, are still gonna talk to him about what happened at school, yeah?
09:09How could they think he'd hurt another kid?
09:11I mean, he's the sweetest boy you'll ever meet.
09:13I know.
09:14Oh!
09:15I thought you were all tucked up and cosy.
09:18What's the matter, sweetheart?
09:19Can't you sleep?
09:21Come here a minute.
09:23We'll get you a cup of char.
09:25Oh, thanks, Mum.
09:26No!
09:27God, you're getting heavy.
09:30I, er, had a call this morning from your school.
09:36What do you think that might have been about?
09:38I don't know.
09:42No.
09:42They wanted to talk about you.
09:45About something that happened in the classroom.
09:50They said, they said you were picking on someone.
09:53And that you hit them.
09:55Is that true?
10:01What do they mean to you?
10:03You know, did they say something that upset you?
10:06No.
10:07Look, it's okay.
10:08It's okay to fall out with people, all right?
10:10It's normal.
10:11But we mustn't hit them.
10:15And if we do do a bad thing, then we shouldn't lie about it.
10:19Right?
10:19It's important that we tell the truth.
10:21Do you understand?
10:23Do you always tell the truth?
10:27Of course.
10:28And if I did something wrong, I like to think that I would make up for it.
10:32And that makes things better?
10:37Sometimes, sweetheart.
10:38Yeah, sometimes.
10:46You in there?
10:51Harry?
10:52Have you seen my dad, Miss Mitchell?
10:54What?
10:55Yeah, he's gone missing.
10:56Oh.
10:57Well, I'm sure he can't have gone far.
10:59Look, why don't I help you find him, eh?
11:02Yeah.
11:12Is it safe to come in?
11:13To your house.
11:18I don't blame you for being scared, do you know?
11:20The food in Walker General's worth some clunkies, innit?
11:27It's not just the op.
11:30I mean, they might have caught it early, but I'm still going to have to have radiotherapy afterwards.
11:34There's something saying it's going to be easy, but you've got to think positively, innit?
11:38I'm going for cancer treatment all on my own.
11:41Happy days.
11:42You ain't going to be on your own.
11:44I've changed the flights.
11:46Have you really?
11:47Might be a pain in the backside, but I'm still my sister, innit?
11:53Are you still taking him away, then?
11:56Oh, Phil.
11:57Come on, it ain't right.
11:59Don't start, okay?
12:00No, look, Julie's his wife.
12:02She's given up nearly everything to care for him.
12:05We're just about to go and sell their family house for crying out loud.
12:08Yeah, well, that's her decision. It ain't mine.
12:09No, no, no, you can't take her husband abroad.
12:11It just ain't...it just ain't fair.
12:13I'll tell you what, it ain't fair.
12:14Leaving Nigel on his own scared, you know, and to calm him down.
12:17Yeah, I know, Phil.
12:17Me and Grant are his mates. As long as he's got us, he'll be all right.
12:21Right, well, she needs to know.
12:23Yeah, well, not now she don't.
12:24And if you breathe a word of this to her, me and you are done.
12:35Here you go.
12:38Told you I'm not hungry. Can you just find my dad?
12:41Yeah, and we will, all right? But there's no point in running around like headless chickens.
12:45We need to work out where he might have gone.
12:48Well, after what we said to him earlier, I don't know, whether he's out on a bender or taking something
12:53like, you know?
12:56No, I've no idea. It ain't my world. But it is your dad's, and sometimes people like to stick their
13:04hand in the cookie jar.
13:06Can't blame him, I suppose.
13:10Probably helps him forget.
13:12Forget what?
13:14Come on. You know he's no quiet boy.
13:17Your dad's done things that weigh heavy on most people's minds.
13:21Like what he did to Harry.
13:24Well, I know he locked him in a room or something.
13:25No, no, no. He didn't just lock him in a room.
13:30He got him hooked on heroin. Do you have any idea how sick that is?
13:33He's defending it.
13:34But he's not a bad person, not deep down. Man, he's a good dad these days.
13:38Always bangs on about us doing our schoolwork, and he's got our backs too. He's protective.
13:43Darling, he dangled Barney off a bridge. That ain't protective. That is unhinged.
13:49Look, I know he might act like a superhero, but he is violent.
13:54And he's dangerous, right? Men like that, they always let you down in the end.
14:01Don't treat me like a kid, Nicola.
14:04Hey, what are you doing? Going to find my dad?
14:07Leave me alone.
14:08How are you getting what you deserve?
14:12Because you are every bit as twisted as your own man.
14:23I never... I never met that.
14:30Are we going to hurt my kids? Look at this fella.
14:34Are we going to hurt my kids?
14:36Oi, we don't know.
14:37Go on and get home.
14:42He's looking sick.
14:44Oi.
14:46Look at him.
14:47Oi, boys, go on.
14:49Oi.
14:49Oi.
14:52Oi.
14:54Oi.
14:55Oi.
14:59What do I do, Dad?
15:06Why did you leave me?
15:12Come here.
15:20I was only a kid.
15:23I was only a kid.
15:26I was only a kid.
15:30It should have been you who fell.
15:34It should have been you.
15:36I was only a kid.
15:45I was only a kid.
15:46Dad, Dad, Dad.
15:48Hey, what are you doing?
15:49I'm here for you.
15:50A push.
15:52Come on.
15:55Fight me.
15:57Is this what you want?
15:58Revenge!
15:59Come on!
16:21So what did he say?
16:24He didn't do anything.
16:27Well, there you go.
16:30What if this other kid's telling the truth, Mum?
16:32And that Ollie did hit him.
16:33Why would you think that?
16:35Every parent thinks their kid is the good one
16:38and it's others that cause trouble.
16:40But when we're not around, how do we really know what they're like?
16:42Where's this all come from, darling?
16:45I bumped into someone at the school reunion.
16:49Bea Pollard.
16:51She said I was horrible to her at school.
16:53Oh, come on.
16:55No, she was serious.
16:56You were the most popular girl at school.
16:58All those other girls are just jealous.
17:00Yeah, but them girls that I hung out with,
17:01you know, I didn't just laugh along.
17:04You know, I did run my mouth off a bit sometimes.
17:06Well, good.
17:07So?
17:08So, I shouldn't have done that.
17:10I should have stood up for people like Bea.
17:13And now they're saying all this about Ollie
17:14and I would just hate it if you made anyone feel that way.
17:17Oh.
17:18I'll get it.
17:24Yeah, just through there.
17:25Oh, thank you.
17:26Winter.
17:27I've got Bea's bag, by mistake, and she must have mine.
17:32Is her address in there?
17:40I guess this is my chance to apologise.
17:43Would you come with me?
17:44I don't think I can face her alone.
17:47Here.
17:51Can I come in?
17:53I can't exactly say no, can I?
17:55It's not my pub.
18:01Doesn't mean we have to sit in the same room, though.
18:03I just wanted to say sorry.
18:06Everything that's gone down since I've arrived,
18:08I mean, it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Chrissie, so...
18:10You seriously blaming her?
18:12You put my family through hell.
18:13Nan and Tommy got the blame.
18:15If I could take it all back, I would.
18:17Okay, your family have been so nice to me.
18:21I mean, apart from Jean maybe breaking into my room
18:24and threatening me with a stall.
18:26But I'd have deserved that, to be honest.
18:27No, she's not well.
18:32Still, that must have been scary, though.
18:34Yeah.
18:35For real.
18:38But, you know, after it all calmed down,
18:40I realised just how much she's actually struggling.
18:43I tried to get her to stay, Lily, I swear.
18:48I would have been fine to just get out of her way
18:50and let her recover at home.
18:54It's too late now.
18:57Who is Lynn, anyway?
19:01She's your nan's older sister.
19:04Any other family I should know about?
19:08There's also little Mo.
19:10Oh, you mean mini Mo.
19:12No, little Mo, Freddie's mum.
19:14And Belinda.
19:16But we don't really talk to her anymore.
19:17She's a bit of a snob.
19:20Um...
19:21And there's Uncle Sean.
19:22That's who my mum's visiting in Brazil.
19:24And Uncle Kyle.
19:26He works with this charity in Africa.
19:28You just see his Instagram.
19:29Oh.
19:30It's...
19:31It's a lot of new relatives in one go, ain't it?
19:34And now there's you.
19:41Hey, I'd really like it if we could, like, hang out sometimes.
19:45Hey, I could even help babysit.
19:48So you can revise or hang out with your mates.
19:51What do you reckon?
19:56I'll think about it.
20:02This is the street.
20:03Your flat must be down here.
20:06That's her.
20:07You are not giving me a chance to explain.
20:10Explain what?
20:11Why you're such a mess.
20:12You have caused me nothing but grief since the day you moved in.
20:15And now I've got to get the locks changed.
20:16Again.
20:17I told you.
20:18I told you.
20:18It wasn't my phone.
20:20It wasn't my phone.
20:21Never is, is it?
20:24Someone took my key.
20:25I'm not interested.
20:26You're a parasite.
20:28Just take your stuff and go.
20:29Oh, no.
20:29Wait a minute.
20:30Marcus, you can't do this.
20:31You can't actually do this because I've got rights.
20:34I've got rights.
20:42Bea.
20:44We've got your keys.
20:51Oh, I was just going to come and see you.
20:53I managed to steer Nugget off.
20:55So you're welcome.
20:56Ravi's gone.
20:57Well, I should think so.
20:58The matter, I dosed him.
21:00Oh.
21:01I said he ain't there.
21:03What do you mean he ain't there?
21:04Well, I put him in the pit and I locked the door,
21:05but he must have got out the bag.
21:07OK.
21:09Well, at least he won't be found in your workplace.
21:11This is good.
21:12Good.
21:13Mum, he could be anywhere, running his mouth to God knows who.
21:16Or he's outside waiting to batter us.
21:18Hurry, calm down.
21:19He's not going to cause any trouble.
21:21Stay, he'll be in.
21:22Look, trust me.
21:23Right now, Ravi Gulati couldn't hurt a fly.
21:28I've checked all the businesses and properties.
21:30Still no sign.
21:31All right, yeah.
21:33I'll be back in five minutes.
21:38Yo!
21:43Ravi, is that...
21:44Is that you?
21:48Is that you?
21:50And then, it was a mistake, I swear.
21:52Well, if you got to here 20 minutes ago, I still have a place to live.
21:55Just saying.
21:57Are you OK?
21:59I'm fine.
22:00I was thinking of moving on anyway.
22:02He's done me a favour.
22:04Anyway, thanks for the bag.
22:07You can go now.
22:14I'm sorry for being a gobby little cow back then.
22:18That's nice, Linda, but I've kind of got bigger problems at the moment.
22:22Have you got anywhere to go?
22:24I've got a really good friend in my land.
22:27We haven't spoken in a while, so...
22:30Could she not stay at yours?
22:31Sorry?
22:33Yeah, what?
22:33Well, um, Linda runs a B&B.
22:36I mean, have you got any spare rooms?
22:38I'm not a charity case.
22:40No.
22:40No.
22:41No.
22:42I could do mates' rates.
22:44And, you know, after everything, maybe it's the least I can do.
22:48What do you say?
22:51Yeah, all right.
22:52Oh.
23:00You OK?
23:01Yeah.
23:05You know, I know it's only for a couple of weeks, but...
23:08At this point, just one day apart feels like a lifetime.
23:13The thought of anything happening to him while I'm away would just be...
23:16Look, Julie, I really think you should know that...
23:17Look, I also need you to keep an eye on Phil, please.
23:20I know that, um...
23:22He can't do it all on his own, although he likes to think otherwise.
23:25Hmm.
23:27You are lucky, you know.
23:29I haven't got any siblings.
23:31You know, I haven't got a big brother.
23:33Looking out for me.
23:35Just keep him close.
23:36We all need someone to lean on.
23:38Every now and then, don't we?
23:41Yeah.
23:42Yeah.
23:44Sorry, what were you going to say?
23:46No, no, not nothing.
23:47I was actually just going to say...
23:49You don't need to worry.
23:51I'll make sure that Phil does right by Nigel.
23:53Right.
23:55Safe trip.
24:02And that's everything.
24:04This place is so kitsch.
24:09Well, interior designer, yours truly.
24:13Oh, I love the faux elegance.
24:17Subtle furnishings are so overrated.
24:20I like the loud, in-your-face look.
24:24It's like a sensory overload.
24:26Well, don't worry about it, sweetheart.
24:29My daughter assures me your stay here will be very short.
24:32Mum, you haven't changed a bit since school.
24:36I mean, you literally look exactly the same.
24:39Excuse me, I hope not.
24:42I'm like a fine wine.
24:43I get better with age.
24:45You were always one of the nicer mums.
24:48Be careful, all right?
24:49All that praise will go to her head.
24:51Listen, I'm not going to outstain my welcome.
24:53I just need to get back on my feet, you know?
24:55Always seem to be paddling upstream.
24:58I had this one job.
25:00Government stuff.
25:01Very hush-hush.
25:02I can't really talk about it, actually.
25:04Anyway, due to someone else's incompetence,
25:07I was moved on.
25:09I'm left without a pot to...
25:12Of course, most people get some inheritance
25:15from their parents, don't they?
25:17But I...
25:18Yeah.
25:18But you know what they say?
25:20Bad things happen to good people.
25:23Yeah, well, you're here now, you know?
25:24Just feel free to make yourself at home.
25:26Oh, thanks, Linda.
25:28Look, when I saw you earlier,
25:30it was a bit of a shock, you know?
25:32But now I know it was for the right reasons,
25:35and this is the moment I'm finally going to
25:38turn my own wife around.
25:41Good night.
25:43Good night.
25:47Sleep well.
25:51Now do you see who I had to help her?
25:53Linda, it's not your job to fix anyone.
25:56You have Ollie and Annie to think of.
25:58I know, I know, but I need to make up for what I've done.
26:00And you heard her.
26:02She's not going to be here for long.
26:02Well, I just hope you know what you're doing.
26:09It's tachycardic.

26:15Outside, you're only going to upset yourself.
26:17Priya, go!
26:18Let's go.

26:22Stand back, please.
26:24Devinda!
26:24Devinda, can you hear me?
26:26Get off me!
26:27They had to put him in a coma.
26:28They're taking him straight into intensive care.
26:30Stand back, please.
26:32They're doing everything they can.
26:33Devinda, my baby!
26:34I'm here.
26:35Please be careful with him, please.
26:38Who's done this?
