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