00:24A fish that I could
00:30Be that bird and fly
00:33Away from here
00:39I wish I had the wings
00:43Hello, world, dear
00:47But my feelings of love
00:51Hey, I bet it's a relief having your derby home.
00:55How's she doing?
00:56No, OK, as far as I know.
00:58Well, I've not seen her since she's got out.
01:00We thought we'd leave her and Ronnie to it.
01:02Oh, well, after a few months in prison,
01:03I bet she's going to be swinging from the chandeliers.
01:05Well, if she can reach it, maybe.
01:08No, we, er, didn't want to overwhelm her.
01:11Yeah, that makes sense.
01:13Kev, is Debbie not here?
01:15She not, were you?
01:16Well, she left a couple of hours ago.
01:18She went to Freshcoast. She hasn't come back yet.
01:20Well, have you called her?
01:21She's not picking up.
01:23I thought she might have come here.
01:24Is Freshcoast even open on Easter Sunday?
01:26Look, you ring now with everyone.
01:28I'll get in the car, see if I can find her.
01:30Yeah, thanks.
01:34You know, I just shouldn't have let her go out on her own.
01:37Hey, I'm sure she'll be fine.
01:39I'm so sorry.
02:09Sorry, do I know you?
02:16Of course I do.
02:19I'm not that far gone yet, you know.
02:23What are you doing out here?
02:25Waiting for you to buy me an ice cream.
02:28Well, go on.
02:30There's the least you can do.
02:42Are you watching me, Dad?
02:43Always.
02:45Gemma, you can join me if you like.
02:47Oh, next time, love.
02:49You're not watching.
02:50I am. I'm riveted.
02:52What can I get you, Steve?
02:53I'm not stopping me.
02:54I have a spare ticket for county next week.
02:57Now, I know you like your balls a different shape,
02:59but if you fancy it...
03:00Oh, go on. Sounds good.
03:02You staying for a pint?
03:04Yeah, go on then, as I may.
03:06Hey, your Ollie was supposed to come round to ours this afternoon
03:08to hang out with Amy,
03:09but it's been called off,
03:11so I'm wondering whether they've gone cold on each other.
03:13Ah, maybe it just wasn't meant to be, yeah.
03:15Nana Magga, look at me.
03:17That's it, love.
03:18Dance like no one is watching.
03:20Nobody is.
03:21You're doing it right then, aren't you?
03:23So, er, what were you saying earlier about my da?
03:26Not this again.
03:28Tell me what you meant, ma.
03:30Just drop it, okay?
03:32Well, what am I dropping?
03:34I am a waste on this family.
03:38Ah, that takes me back to when Amy was practising her dance moves.
03:42High School Musical it was for her back then.
03:45And the sequel's the best,
03:46but the third one's a bit more polished.
03:48But High School Musical 2 had everything.
03:50The tunes, the story,
03:53Ryan,
03:54Sharpay,
03:57You know, from what I remember, right, yeah.
04:01So, are you going to tell me or not?
04:02There's nothing to tell.
04:04Well, then, why did you say it?
04:05I think you've...
04:10Are you okay?
04:11Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
04:12It's just, um,
04:13just a bit dizzy, that's all.
04:15Let's get you in the back.
04:16Are you all right, mate?
04:17Do you want me to do anything?
04:18I'm fine.
04:18You are not fine.
04:20Come on.
04:24How are you doing, Sam?
04:26I'm okay.
04:27Yeah, it was just a bit of exam stress.
04:29They put a lot of pressure on kids these days.
04:32Well, you've seen a counsellor in school now.
04:33That's good.
04:34Yeah, but you can't see him if he's not there, can he?
04:36Well, there's not all that I can do about the Easter holidays.
04:38You'll have to take that up with Jesus.
04:40Well, can't you have a word with one of your contacts?
04:42What, so he gets some sort of special treatment?
04:44It's not very ethical, is it?
04:45Oh, here we go.
04:46It'd be a different story if it was your own son, wouldn't it?
04:49And what's that supposed to mean?
04:50Well, what if he needs to see a counsellor
04:52before he goes back to school?
04:53Yes!
04:54I'm in counselling everyone.
04:56There's no wonder, is it, with you two?
05:04Are you going to have half of this with me, or what?
05:11Listen, despite what you might think,
05:14we are not the enemy, and neither is Janelle.
05:18She shouldn't have shouted at you, I'm not defending her.
05:21I mean, blimey, she was the right...
05:25Well, she was the right cow with me and all.
05:28But what I have never doubted, not even for a second,
05:31is how much she loves your dad.
05:34She just wants what's best for him.
05:36How much she loves all her boys.
05:39You might be able to forgive her, but...
05:41I can't forgive her for what she's done to Megan.
05:43She lost her baby because of her.
05:45Neither of us were there when that happened.
05:47It's Megan's word against your nan's.
05:50I know who I believe.
05:55Listen, I remember what it's like to be in love at your age,
05:58and you can't see the wood for the trees.
06:00I'm not... I'm not patronising you.
06:03You are entitled to your feelings, and they are valid.
06:08But what I am saying to you, love, is...
06:11Please don't turn your back on your family.
06:14I know you don't believe me right now,
06:16but one day, you are going to need us.
06:26Life seemed much simpler at that age, didn't it?
06:31Just a bit.
06:35We don't want to fall out with you, Will.
06:38We just want to go back to the way things were.
06:42Okay?
06:45Okay.
06:48And it'd be really great
06:50if you would apologise to Sam.
06:53Do you think you can do that?
06:54For me?
06:58Good lad.
07:00Now, are you going to share half of this with me, or what?
07:08I said half, you little gannet.
07:11Come here.
07:12It's all down your mouth, you mucky pup.
07:16Right, I'm having a chair room.
07:18I wish you'd let me call an ambulance.
07:21I'm fine.
07:22You need to get checked out.
07:23Well, I'm going to the hospital tomorrow to get my test results
07:26so they can check me out then.
07:27You could be dead by then.
07:28Well, at least I won't have to do the pub quiz.
07:30Are you having palpitations?
07:31Only when I listen to you, ma.
07:33I'm worried about you, son.
07:36Look, I'm fine.
07:37Okay?
07:39Fit as a fiddle.
07:40On your head be it.
07:41Never mind my head.
07:43What's going on in yours?
07:45Oh, look at you.
07:46Come on, you're a bag of nerves.
07:47Yes, because I thought you were having a heart attack.
07:50What did you mean by flesh and blood?
07:52Nothing.
07:54You must have meant something.
07:55I didn't.
07:56I just said it.
07:58Have you never said stuff that you haven't thought about first?
08:01I do, but you don't.
08:03Every single word that ever comes out of your mouth is considered.
08:06That's as may be.
08:07But I'm not very considered at the moment.
08:10No, no, I'm not buying that.
08:11This is not about will or my heart.
08:14So come on, because I'm going to keep asking until you tell me.
08:18Look, I am doing you a favour.
08:20Some things are best left in the past.
08:22Well, that really puts my mind at ease, ma.
08:26Fine.
08:27I'll phone R. Finlay.
08:28Oh, no, no.
08:29There's no need to phone Finn.
08:31He doesn't know anything.
08:33So there is something.
08:38All right.
08:41I'll tell you the truth.
08:46Well, come on, I'm waiting.
08:50Your dad,
08:51Alan.
08:54He wasn't your real dad.
09:09All right, ma'am.
09:14Ronnie, you'll be here in a sec.
09:16He thought you'd gone to Fresh Goals.
09:18I just said that to get out of the house.
09:21It's hard.
09:23I'm getting worse.
09:24No, that's not true.
09:26Yes, it is.
09:30Being in jail didn't help, I suppose, did it?
09:32Well, I don't regret it.
09:34I'll do it again.
09:36I'd do anything for you.
09:39I know yours.
09:45I thought you were dead after the crash.
09:50You weren't moving.
09:53It's the only reason I swapped seats with you.
09:58Well, as long as you just weren't thinking about yourself, eh?
10:02I'm not trying to excuse it.
10:04I'm just telling you what happened.
10:08And then I couldn't go back on it.
10:10I mean, I could have done, but I just...
10:13I never thought that they'd actually send you down for a...
10:16Not for a minute.
10:17I just assumed with your condition that they...
10:19did let you off.
10:25Well, it's all right, isn't it?
10:28I'm out now.
10:31I'm sorry.
10:34Really.
10:40Can I tell you something?
10:46There was a part of me that didn't even want to come home.
10:51We all know where this is going, don't we?
10:56And it's not going to be a fairytale ending.
11:00And I don't want to put any of you through it.
11:05So I just wanted to scuttle off like a little animal
11:09and be by myself.
11:14So you're saying that you want to be on your own when you...
11:20Sorry, what are you saying?
11:24I'm saying I don't want to be a burden.
11:28You won't be.
11:31Of course I will be.
11:33How can you be a burden if people want to look after you?
11:36Everyone loves you.
11:41I love you.
11:47I love you too, son.
11:52Oh, I'm sorry.
11:53I shouldn't have said that.
11:54No, no, no, no, no.
11:55It's fine.
11:57I mean, it's what I am.
12:00Right?
12:02I'm your son.
12:08And you won't be on your own.
12:10Okay?
12:11I'm going to stick around.
12:12I'm going to find a way.
12:14What do you mean, find a way?
12:19I don't want to dump this on you.
12:25But I owe that Fiona money again.
12:27And if I don't come up with it, I'm going to have to leave.
12:35Oh, Cal.
12:37You're just the gift that keeps on giving, aren't you?
12:41How much?
12:44Ten grand.
12:47I'll start it.
12:52Don't deserve you.
12:56What you like, eh?
13:04You cheated on my daughter, huh?
13:08With a British soldier.
13:15Well.
13:18No wonder you kept it quiet.
13:20I didn't know he was a soldier when I met him.
13:23He was just some fella in a club.
13:26He was good looking.
13:27He bought me a drink and he asked me to dance.
13:30Did your eyes meet across the crowded room, ma?
13:32What song was playing?
13:33Please, son.
13:34Oh, don't set the scene for me.
13:36You cheated on my daughter.
13:42What was his name?
13:47Did you hear me?
13:50I don't remember.
13:51You don't remember his name?
13:53Ha.
13:55Classy, ma.
13:57Very classy.
13:58I am your mother.
14:00Do not speak to me like that.
14:01I think you've lost the moral high ground here, don't you?
14:06So you never saw him again?
14:10I'm sorry.
14:11Yeah, if you were sorry, you would have told me years ago.
14:14Alan was your dad.
14:16And there it is!
14:23Did he know?
14:24Dad.
14:25Alan.
14:26I mean.
14:27He didn't want it to come out.
14:29It would have ruined me.
14:31It would have ruined the whole family.
14:34So he knew.
14:36And he's still talking you back.
14:38It was a mistake.
14:39But it was the best mistake I ever made.
14:42I wouldn't have had you otherwise.
14:48I need a drink.
14:49Or ten.
14:51I'm sorry.
14:52Yeah, you keep saying that, ma.
14:55But it's just a word.
14:58Stick your sorry.
15:09Apparently they found her.
15:11Debbie?
15:11Yeah.
15:11I've just spoken to Ronnie.
15:13Oh, he's going to have his work out, isn't he?
15:15I'm still glad she's home, though.
15:17Yeah.
15:19Sam?
15:19Hey, I wanted to apologise.
15:22I was out of order.
15:24Mates?
15:29Sam?
15:34Look, I'm sorry.
15:36Genuinely.
15:38Well, are you going to accept the apology or what?
15:59Go easy.
16:00I'm just getting started.
16:02That's what I'm worried about.
16:04I don't want you having another funny turn.
16:06Yeah, well, there's nothing like feinting out your da
16:07as not your real da
16:08to give you a funny turn.
16:10Oh, you keep your voice down.
16:13Although funny's not the word I'd use to describe it.
16:16Come into the back room again and we talk.
16:18I think we've done enough talking.
16:20What else are you going to tell me?
16:22Please, son.
16:23You go into the back room.
16:24I'm staying here.
16:27Mate, I thought I'd pop back in, see how you are.
16:29You got me a bit worried there.
16:32Oh, that, that was fine.
16:33Ah, so you're all right, then?
16:35Yeah.
16:35My ma looked after me like she always does.
16:38You're a lucky man.
16:39I am.
16:40She's one in a million, my ma.
16:42Full of surprises as well.
16:44Are you having a drink?
16:45Do I usually come in?
16:46How about a whiskey?
16:47All in the house.
16:48Oh, yes, please.
16:49Are you having a drink, ma?
16:52Oh, come on.
16:53You're very quiet there.
16:55Cat got your tongue?
16:56Not for me, thanks.
16:57Come on.
16:59Have a drink with us.
17:01Eh, Ollie did come round in the end.
17:04Apparently it's back on.
17:06So I, eh, you know, made myself scared.
17:10Ollie is alone with Amy.
17:18What is that?
17:24Fine, fine.
17:24I'm going to get it.
17:26I'm coming.
17:28Yes.
17:29Is everything okay?
17:30So I'm here.
17:32Yeah, why?
17:32Why?
17:33What's happened?
17:34You two haven't been...
17:37Haven't.
17:40You can't go out with each other.
17:42Why not?
17:47Because you're cousins.
17:50So, your dad used to stay in.
17:51Where's your phone?
17:52It's in my coat.
17:53All right, I'll go and get it.
17:55I've already told him.
17:57Listen, I'm really glad that you and Will have made up.
18:01Do you think he was being genuine?
18:03Yeah.
18:04Don't you?
18:07Ollie, he sounded genuine to me.
18:09And do you know what?
18:10You should be, mates.
18:11The only reason you're not is because of Megan.
18:13She exploited you.
18:15Both of you.
18:17And...
18:19I'm sorry if I embarrassed you in the shop earlier.
18:22And listen, I know you can't see your counsellor
18:25because you're not in school.
18:26But if there's anything bothering you,
18:28you know you can always talk to me, don't you?
18:32I'm okay.
18:34Honestly.
18:36You sure?
18:39Right, okay.
18:40I'll go and get changed and then I'll make a start on tea.
18:43So what are we watching tonight, then?
18:44Made in Chelsea?
18:46You know me so well.
18:50Your phone.
18:57Hello?
18:59Leanne's just gone to get changed.
19:02I'm not sorry.
19:05And I don't want to be your mate.
19:08How did you get this number?
19:09And you'd better watch your back.
19:12Because I'm coming for you.
19:20You and me dad.
19:22He was a soldier.
19:23I met him in a bar.
19:25No, I'm sorry.
19:26I don't believe it.
19:27Can't be then.
19:27It was.
19:30As soon as I saw that picture of your dad on the sideboard.
19:34When was this?
19:36Halloween.
19:37Halloween?
19:38You couldn't make it up, could you?
19:39You've known for months.
19:41Since before the funeral.
19:43I went to that funeral.
19:45We both did.
19:47You let me go to my own dad's funeral without telling me.
19:51My grandpa.
19:53I can't wrap my head around this.
19:54No, it's not your grandpa, because she's lying.
19:56I'm not.
19:57Why would I lie about it?
19:59Well, then it must be somebody else, then.
20:00Because I'm telling you, look, my dad was a lot of things,
20:02but he was never a cheat.
20:04I don't know what to say to you.
20:06His name was Jim.
20:08Yes, I knew.
20:10Of course I did.
20:12He was 22, from Belfast.
20:15He had a moustache.
20:16He liked to drink.
20:19I knew he had family.
20:21But he was away from home, and he was lonely.
20:24I'm not trying to justify this.
20:26I know I can't.
20:30I mean, he's dead and buried,
20:33and he's still managing to ruin our flipping lives.
20:36At least you've still got to see him die you had this morning.
20:39You never met him.
20:41This could only happen to me.
20:43It's happening to me, too.
20:45I was snogging my own cousin.
20:47It's not good enough just being part of one messed up family.
20:49Now I've got to be part of two.
20:50All right, hang on.
20:51Oh, because your family's not screwed up.
20:53It was your granddad who couldn't keep it in his kex.
20:56Where are you going?
20:57Oh, I can't deal with this right now.
20:59I'm sorry.
21:00I really am.
21:04We're brothers.
21:06What, do you want to party?
21:08Do you want to paintball in or something?
21:10Just saying, leg.
21:12I realise this must be a big shark.
21:14How do you think?
21:16Just go.
21:17All here, will you?
21:18Oh, my God.
