00:00The power work!
00:02What are we doing?
00:03Stop it!
00:04I know!
00:05Just seeing you viciously attack Roe with my own two eyes.
00:10What's this happening to us? When is this crap going to end?
00:13I was wrong.
00:16Are you still planning to run away tomorrow?
00:18Yes.
00:18I'm coming with you.
00:34I'm coming with you.
00:36I'm coming with you.
00:47I'm coming with you.
00:52I'll be right back.
00:53I'm coming with you.
01:08I, erm, I forgot to say I'm off so I'm working over the weekend, er, be a pal and come
01:13help
01:13me with it.
01:28Hey, after the terrible day we had yesterday, I thought his favourite brekkie would cheer him
01:32up.
01:33Well, I hope so, cos I don't know if he can cope with much more.
01:35And to be honest, I don't know if I can.
01:38He's gonna be okay, isn't he?
01:39Hey, is he with me by his side?
01:42Of course he is.
01:42Come on.
01:57What do you want?
01:58Er, I had a missed call from you.
02:00Yeah, like a week ago.
02:03Like, well, I've been away.
02:08Hey, kids.
02:10Hey, your dad's made us a special brekkie.
02:12Yep.
02:13Pancakes with banana and chocolate sauce.
02:15Oh, nice one.
02:16How are you, mate?
02:18I'm good.
02:19Come on.
02:19What have I told you about filtering your feelings?
02:21Dad's right.
02:23What Olu did yesterday was horrendous.
02:24You can't just pretend it didn't happen.
02:26I'm not.
02:28Well, just to be on the safe side, your mum and I, we've arranged for you to speak with
02:31a counsellor.
02:32Nah, I don't need to speak to a counsellor.
02:33You need a little bit of support.
02:34I've got some.
02:36Listen, I've been going to the thing for a while now.
02:38In fact, I'm going there now.
02:42Well, what about your breakfast?
02:44I had some cereal.
02:45I just had the pancakes for lunch.
02:47Right.
02:48I'll put it in the fridge then.
03:06So, er, why did you come in?
03:10It's nothing.
03:11I was just in hospital and got my feelings, that's all.
03:15In hospital?
03:15What happened?
03:16Look, if you come cos you feel guilty, you can save it, you know?
03:20Why would I feel guilty?
03:21Cos you can't just ghost me and come round whenever you feel like it.
03:27Look at this, what happened?
03:28Nothing.
03:29It's clearly something.
03:31It's a...
03:31Just tell me, please.
03:35I've got brain tumour.
03:44Nina?
03:45Ro?
03:47Oh, come here.
03:48I feel like we know each other inside out already.
03:51It's hard to see the flash.
03:52I've still got your flash.
03:53Sorry, that sounds weird.
03:55I just mean, I can't believe this is really happening.
03:57Things have been bad for so long.
03:59Ro, can we just...
04:00Anyways, I've been looking up bus times to Chester cos we can get a train from there.
04:03And then while we're in London, there's a few pastels that are pretty cheap.
04:05We can stay there for a few nights and, you know, get our fun together.
04:11Where are your bags?
04:13What I've been trying to say is...
04:16I can't come with you.
04:21Let's have a little bit more vanilla.
04:23Thanks.
04:26Tony!
04:28Erm...
04:28I'm sorry to bother you, but Arlo has got something he'd like to say.
04:32Well, now's not a good time. I'm prepping for lunch.
04:34Can you just hear him out?
04:35Okay?
04:36He's retracted his statement to the police.
04:38We've just come from the station.
04:41Tony, I'm really sorry.
04:43I know I shouldn't have lied about what you did.
04:47Well, thank you for finally admitting it.
04:49I will forever regret hitting you.
04:52But your actions have seriously affected my life.
04:55I'm sorry.
04:57Well, I'm not the only one that needs to hear it though, am I?
04:59You bullied my son for months.
05:02He made his life a misery.
05:04Sorry, Marie.
05:05I'm not the only one he needs to apologise to.
05:11It was your idea.
05:12I know.
05:13I'm sorry.
05:14I need to get away from here.
05:15Look, it doesn't have to be today.
05:17Yes, it does.
05:18Everyone's gonna be better off without me in their lives.
05:20I spoke with Matt last night and they reminded me that I didn't need to run away from my problems.
05:25That if I do, then I'm just gonna run into more.
05:28Yeah, you told me about this group before.
05:29You know, my dad made me go to one of those last year.
05:32All they do is talk about how great it is to be trans.
05:35They don't talk about bullying.
05:37They don't talk about fearing for your life.
05:40It's just full of kids who haven't experienced the real world.
05:42This group isn't like that.
05:43Matt's cool.
05:44They're trans themselves too and they really understand young trans people.
05:48Like, nothing is gonna change overnight.
05:50I'm your friend, bro.
05:52I'm not going anywhere.
05:53We were supposed to run away together.
05:55I can't do it on my own.
05:57And now I'm trapped here.
05:59You know, I saw Dad and Marie hugging yesterday.
06:04If they get back together, then I'm stuck with our love.
06:07You need a community around you.
06:10That's what I thought you were.
06:14Bro!
06:20Bro?
06:22What's wrong?
06:23Nothing.
06:24Has Arlo done something again?
06:25It's not about Arlo.
06:27So what's this about?
06:28It's nothing.
06:28You just leave me alone.
06:29No.
06:29Not until you tell me what the matter is.
06:31Look, I'm just sick of everything always going wrong in my life.
06:35Every time I've tried to figure things out and get our plans together, it just blows
06:38up in my face.
06:39I know you've had a really tough time lately, but I'll always be here for you.
06:44You won't always though, will you?
06:45What?
06:46No, you'll just...
06:46You'll slow me down like everyone else does.
06:48You're not alone.
06:49Yes, you will.
06:50All I've ever done is try to be my true self and live my life to its fullest.
06:54I don't understand why everyone has such a problem with that.
06:56I don't know.
06:58Look, whatever's upset you, the two of us, you can work this out together.
07:03No, we can't.
07:05It's too late.
07:07What does that mean?
07:12It means I want...
07:15It means I want all the noise to stop.
07:21Ro!
07:23Ro!
07:27Are you sure you don't fancy coming to the rooms group thing?
07:30Well, I'd love to, but I need to get back to the restaurant.
07:32You think Ro's going to be okay with you turning up unannounced?
07:34Well, if he's not okay with it or the others aren't, I'll just wait outside.
07:37Look, I'm really interested in meeting other people like him.
07:40And I want our son to know that unlike Arlo and all the other bigots in this world,
07:44his mum and dad support him 100%.
07:46Yeah.
07:57Don't you want to tell me how selfish I'm being like getting a surgery?
08:02I don't think I'm in position to lecture anyone on their decisions.
08:05If you're sure it's what you want, then I'm with you.
08:09Look, I know you're scared.
08:12Okay, so here's my promise to you.
08:14I'm going to keep away from Rex and I'm going to stay off Spice.
08:19Okay?
08:19I love you.
08:20And I want to be here for you.
08:24So to start off, I've booked us a holiday.
08:26Really?
08:27Where to?
08:27Blackpool again?
08:29No.
08:30Okay, what's one part of the world you've always wanted to see?
08:32I've always wanted to see the pyramids.
08:33You know, I thought they were cool.
08:34You know, with the mummies and stuff.
08:37Exactly.
08:38I have booked us a holiday to Egypt.
08:41Yeah, right.
08:41Give up.
08:42Seriously?
08:44Right, me and Frankie made enough money in nightclub repping
08:46and I figured it would be easier to stay away from temptation if I'm far from here.
08:52Can't believe tomorrow.
08:54All three of us.
08:55Can we leave that soon?
08:58Yeah, we can.
08:59All right, we will.
09:02I promise you, I'm going to keep off drugs.
09:05I'm going to make all your dreams come true.
09:21Hey.
09:23Em, I'm so sorry for just barging.
09:25I was watching him but I was hoping to find my son in here, Ro.
09:28He's trans.
09:29Wait.
09:30You're Ro's mum?
09:32Yeah.
09:33Why, do you know him?
09:35Kind of.
09:36We've chatted online.
09:38He's been going through a lot and so have I.
09:40So, we've helped each other out.
09:42And here's me.
09:43Telling him off for being on his phone so much.
09:46Why don't you sit in for a bit and see what we're all about?
09:51Well, yeah.
09:52I mean, yeah.
09:52I'd like that.
09:53Thanks.
09:55OK.
09:56Hey, everyone.
10:16Good-bye.
10:29I'm Nina.
10:30All I want to be doing is watching makeup tutorials and figuring out which member of new genes I have
10:36a crush on.
10:38But instead, I'm fighting.
10:44Fighting to be who I am.
10:47Fighting people that want to speak for me.
10:51There's these boys at school.
10:55They found out about me and it's been really scary.
11:02They've been saying that I shouldn't be here.
11:07And honestly, I've thought about it.
11:11And how do you feel now?
11:16Determined.
11:17I'm going to go to school with my head held high.
11:20And I'm just really thankful for the help I've got from this group.
11:24Yeah.
11:25Just like you've helped Ro.
11:28You know what?
11:28Just hearing you speak.
11:31And the fact that you are getting on with your life despite everything.
11:36I was really lucky to have a friend like you.
11:41Excuse me.
11:44Thank you, me.
11:45Hello?
11:46Mrs Hutchinson, it's Kathleen Angel.
11:48Hi, I'm Robina.
11:50I'm really worried Ro might be going to do something stupid.
11:53I'm grateful for her finally finding the support group.
11:58Nothing is going to change overnight.
12:02Everyone's going to be better off of me alive.
12:03Just remember, no one cares about you.
12:06And no one will ever want to be near you.
12:09Pervert.
12:10Ro stabbed my son.
12:11He deserves to be punished.
12:12Is your mum alright?
12:13I don't know what she's told you, but she tried to top herself last night.
12:16And who can blame her?
12:18Having a freak of a daughter like you.
12:25No.
12:28No.
12:29No, please.
12:31I've got one for you.
12:33Kill yourself.
12:35Just remember, no one cares about you.
12:55Ro.
12:55Ro.
12:56You need to ring me back as soon as you get the message and let us know that you're okay.
12:59Ro, what's wrong?
13:00We need to go and find Ro.
13:01What?
13:02Just come on.
13:12Hello, you're through to the Lilac Lime project.
13:15What would you like to talk about today?
13:23You okay?
13:26Good.
13:28Because I want to have a little chat with you and I want you to be completely honest with me,
13:33alright?
13:34Okay.
13:37Where did you learn it?
13:41This hatred for trans people?
13:46Arlo, talk to me.
13:48Was it...
13:50Was it social media?
13:52Was it school?
13:53No.
13:55Where then?
13:56Nowhere.
13:57I need to understand where this hateful behaviour came from.
14:00I don't hate trans people.
14:02Then why did you make Ro's life an utter misery?
14:08Arlo, I'm just trying to understand.
14:14Alright, I'll tell you then.
14:17It's because Ro had everything and I had nothing.
14:20What are you talking about?
14:22What are you talking about?
14:22The only time when I was ever really happy is when I was living with Dad in Ireland.
14:27And away from you.
14:31And then I was brought here.
14:35And I found out that the only reason I was with him, because Abe was paying him.
14:42He didn't really want me.
14:45I saw how much attention Ro was getting.
14:47And how much his mum and dad really loved him.
14:51I was jealous.
14:54He had everything that I wanted.
14:57His parents supported him to be whoever he wanted to be.
15:01So I lashed out.
15:03And I hate myself for it.
15:06Mum.
15:07I really do.
15:14Just to let you know, there's no rush.
15:16I'm happy to sit here with you until you're ready to speak.
15:21Would you like to tell me your name?
15:24Do I have to?
15:25No.
15:26Anything you say here is up to you and totally confidential.
15:30You could even make up a name if you prefer.
15:35So what's prompted you to call us today?
15:38Are you safe right now?
15:45I don't know.
15:46I'm sorry to hear that.
15:49What's making you feel unsafe?
15:55Are you calling with thoughts of suicide?
16:01Yeah.
16:05Just keep it going on.
16:08I've been getting bullied.
16:11Like, really badly bullied for a long time now.
16:16It started at school.
16:19And now it's happening at home and I can't escape it.
16:28I just wanted to stop.
16:30Is there anyone you can talk to about this bullying?
16:33I'm trans but that's not it.
16:35I mean, I mean that's not why I wanna...
16:38I think that's why I get bullied.
16:41People don't understand about us.
16:43They're told that trans people are some sort of threat but...
16:46...really we're just trying to live our lives.
16:50Yesterday's something really bad happened.
16:52Mike!
16:53Any sign?
16:54It just keeps going to voicemail.
16:55What I've called the kids so they don't look on for enough.
16:58Marie, have you seen Ro anywhere?
17:00No, sorry.
17:01Everything alright?
17:08Tony?
17:09What's that?
17:11I bought this in Wales for Ro.
17:13And why have you got it?
17:15I think it might be his way of saying goodbye.
17:17Oh no.
17:21Please, please.
17:23Yeah, I wanna report my son missing.
17:26We think he might be in danger.
17:29From himself.
17:32My mum has a problem with drinking.
17:37And I'm worried that as long as I'm around she's never gonna stop.
17:41She almost died because of it.
17:44Why do you feel that you're to blame?
17:46Because of your gender identity?
17:48No, my parents are fine with that.
17:51Oh, that's good to hear.
17:52Can you tell me a little bit more about what they're like?
17:57Well, my dad thinks he's hilarious all the time.
18:01Me and my siblings make fun of him quite a lot but...
18:03...to be honest he's actually really funny.
18:06He always stands up for me.
18:09And my mum, she's been through a lot.
18:13But she's so strong.
18:16It doesn't sound like they'd want you to be gone.
18:20Sounds like they love you.
18:23Yeah, they do.
18:28Tony, I don't think I can deal with this.
18:31Like, where is he?
18:32Look, we need to think straight.
18:33Tony.
18:33If I'd been through the hell that Road, I'd want to go somewhere familiar.
18:36Somewhere that I...
18:36I felt safe.
18:41He's coming.
18:42Yeah.
18:43For the rest of our lives.
18:45For the rest of our lives.
18:46For the rest of our lives.
19:12You haven't hurt yourself for anything.
19:14I...
19:16I've heard about it.
19:17But then I spoke to a person on the phone and they helped me.
19:22Listen, I know this feeling...
19:24...will pass.
19:25And I don't want to do it.
19:28I was drunk about everything.
19:29I need you both.
19:31I want to be here.
19:53I want to be here.
19:53Can you believe in a few hours, me and Frankie Good were on a beach sleeping cocktails?
19:58Goodbye, kid.
20:02You're only dreaming when they're gone
20:06Cause they're calling, calling, calling me
20:10I'm calling, calling, calling home
20:15Show the life's not to stop me
20:17Time to stop me
20:19Show me shine
20:20Hello.
20:22Yep, my name's Diane.
20:24I need your help.
20:36You all out for there?
20:37Yeah.
20:38What have you got there?
20:41Just have an Italian.
20:48Are you sure I'm not gonna cramp these style?
20:51Frankie, as if anyone could.
20:52Alright, and Lucas can't wait to see you.
21:00Right, Livian, I've got you a client.
21:02Who?
21:03Ray.
21:04Mr. Palet Connections.
21:05What the sleaze?
21:07Who invited his mates to try it on with Frankie?
21:08Listen, he's already explained, right?
21:10That was all a misunderstanding.
21:12And you're lucky he's given you a second chance
21:14after you've walked out on him.
21:16Okay.
21:17Yeah, tell him I'll be here.
21:19Great.
21:20And, er, best behaviour, right?
21:22Ray might seem like a pussycat,
21:23but he's not the kind of person that you let down.
21:29Frankie, that man is a pervert.
21:31All right, and I've booked our flights.
21:33Like, if I'm gonna get clean for Lucas,
21:34we've gotta get out of here today.
21:36And we are.
21:37Plus the extra cash won't hurt.
21:40Relax.
21:41I know just how I'm gonna handle Roe.
21:49Diane.
21:52Don't underestimate how important Roe confiding in you was.
21:57Because what I see is a boy who wants help.
22:01Keep that line of dialogue open.
22:04I will.
22:05I promise.
22:07See you later.
22:08See you in a bit.
22:12I spoke to a mental health case worker
22:14and they said it'd be a few weeks before Roe hits to see a counsellor.
22:17Dad, I don't need any help. I'm fine.
22:19Well, actually, I've already called for someone to speak to Roe.
22:24Oh.
22:25That'll be them now.
22:26What?
22:28I'm not ready to talk to anybody yet.
22:32Hey, come in.
22:34Do you find us okay?
22:35Yeah, directions are spot on. Thank you.
22:37You must be Roe.
22:38Hi.
22:39I'm Matt.
22:54Hey.
22:54What are you doing?
22:55They're private.
22:57What's our list then?
22:59They're hand prints.
23:00Mine.
23:01Lexi's.
23:02The twins.
23:02That's all.
23:02Oh, right, is it?
23:03Nice.
23:04So why are you hiding it?
23:06I'm planning something.
23:08That's all you need to know.
23:09Nah, you're acting too sus, mate.
23:11I'm gonna need more than that.
23:12Yeah, I just told you.
23:12It's none of your business.
23:13Look, if you've got a weird preschool thing for glitter and safety scissors,
23:17I ain't keeping that to myself.
23:20Alright then.
23:21Guess I'll just take a little walk to the cafe and pray you don't blab to Mercedes.
23:24Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
23:25Prince, stop.
23:28If I show you something, can you promise me it won't go any further?
23:32Sure.
23:39Is that an engagement ring?
23:41Yeah.
23:43I'm gonna ask Mercy to marry me.
23:46Now you know, maybe you could help me with something.
23:51Do you really think it's safe leaving Frankie alone with a man like Ray?
23:54You don't get a say.
23:56Not since I rumbled you having a bromance with Donny the Plod.
24:00Well, I'm just saying.
24:01We need to, we need to protect our assets.
24:03Well, you do that then.
24:04Yeah?
24:05Cos Ray is the most important one.
24:06So she'd better not back up again.
24:11Now, I'll grab your stuff.
24:12Tony's busy today, so me and you are opening the hotch.
24:14Time to go on Egypt with Dylan.
24:15What?
24:17Egypt?
24:18Yeah.
24:19Since when?
24:20Since yesterday.
24:21Since he asked me.
24:22Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
24:23You two are going away?
24:24Yeah, Frankie too.
24:25It's all been booked.
24:26Are you gonna allow this?
24:27What do you think?
24:28What's it to you anyway?
24:29Look, I told Dylan about the tumour, about how I don't wanna get an operation.
24:32He's fine with it.
24:33Also, as long as Dr Dylan's okay with it.
24:35Cos the dates are getting in the way of his next height.
24:37Lucas, anything could happen to you on the plane or on the beach in the middle of nowhere.
24:41Well, something's already happened, hasn't it, Dad?
24:43Alright?
24:43Being home has not helped.
24:46Is this you using Dylan as a distraction because you're scared?
24:50I'm not talking about this.
24:52If that boy really loved you or cared about you, he'd be telling you to have the operation.
24:57Is he really worth risking your life for?
24:59Yeah, he is.
25:00Right, so I'm leaving this afternoon.
25:01There's nothing you can do about it.
25:02Either of you.
25:05Um, I just realised that I've, um, I've got someone I need to tell Grace.
25:14I'm glad to see you.
25:16Go ahead to school, but I'll message you after.
25:20Thanks, Kathleen Angel.
25:27Um, so how do you two know each other?
25:30Well, I went to the meeting on that runs of trans kids.
25:33I've tried these before, they never work.
25:35Oh, Ro, please.
25:36Come on, you've tried it once and it wasn't the right fit.
25:39Actually, I agree.
25:41Listening to people fighting to say their piece.
25:44That was never me.
25:45I spent most of my teenage years hiding in my bedroom, listening to Slipknot.
25:50Slipknot?
25:51And you're like a heavy metal band who wear masks?
25:53Maybe something in me.
25:54Love the idea of hiding behind a new persona.
25:57No hidden subtext there, obviously.
25:59Although, truth is, I was only really listening to try and impress a boy.
26:03Did it work?
26:05No, he's, uh, no longer with us.
26:09Oh.
26:10I'm so sorry.
26:12So, um, here's another reason I wanted to set up the group.
26:15To help people like him.
26:19Ro, I only told Matt that it's been a really tough year with me and your dad splitting up.
26:26If there's one thing to take from today, I hope it's that you know you're not alone.
26:32Whatever journey you're on, there are others in the group who've been on one too.
26:35And we're still here.
26:38Just living our lives and being happy.
26:42Showing the world it could be done.
26:46I just wish there'd been something like this or my friend was still alive.
26:55What, what was your friend's name?
26:59His name was Gary.
27:03Listen, why don't we let your mum go and I can tell you more about the group?
27:08If you're both comfortable with that.
27:12Um.
27:14Yeah.
27:15Yeah, I think I'd like that.
27:17Please.
27:18Right, well you text me when you're done.
27:20Yeah.
27:32I'm sorry about the way things ended last time. Just got a bit nervous.
27:36There's no need to be. Around me. You're in safe hands.
27:45You know I could be good for you, Frankie.
27:50I was so naive at your age.
27:54I once bought a second hand car off a man I met in a pub.
27:57First time out in it, the brakes failed and I ended up wrapping it round a tree, which taught me
28:02a valuable lesson.
28:04And what was that?
28:06Never part with good money.
28:11Without taking a test try at first.
28:16Oh.
28:17Are you okay?
28:20Yeah.
28:22It's just a bit light headed.
28:24That's all.
28:28Right, I'm gonna call Lucas.
28:30Tell him we're on our way.
28:36What have you done?
28:42I don't believe this.
28:45What about if you'd have killed him, all right? Do you realise the danger you'd be in?
28:47Just let us leave.
28:48All right, Ray wouldn't even know you were here.
28:50No, no, no. I can't do that.
28:51Because if I do that, Ray will be after my head.
28:53Hey. Look, we'll pay you back what we owe.
28:56All right, but we need to get out of here. We've got to get clean.
28:59Yeah, and we'll be back in a few weeks.
29:02You don't just get time off, Frankie.
29:06Grace owns you.
29:07Look, we can just go to the police.
29:09They already know.
29:11Grace has them in her pocket too.
29:12Look, maybe there is only one way out.
29:15Okay, you both need to go.
29:17Well, yeah, that was always the plan.
29:20I'm not talking about topping up your tan, Dylan. I mean for good.
29:23You both need to get out that door and never come back, all right?
29:27Because after this, if Grace sees you again, she'll kill you both.
29:36A bit higher.
29:39Perfect.
29:40Yeah?
29:41Wait.
29:42What?
29:45You know what it's cute to see in our nervous you are?
29:47I don't just love Mercy.
29:49I adore her.
29:49I want to spend the rest of my life making her happy.
29:52What, and you think that this says that?
29:54It's symbolic, isn't it?
29:56How we want to live is a blended family.
29:57Me, Mercy, our kids.
30:03Don't you like that?
30:04Well, no pressure, obviously.
30:05What Mercedes has been proposed to a lot.
30:07Yeah, I'm well aware of that.
30:11Look, mate, I think she'll love it.
30:14I still think she wants to be swept off her feet.
30:16I mean, what are you actually going to say when you actually pop the question?
30:19I don't know.
30:20I was hoping that inspiration was going to strike.
30:22Well, all those other guys, I bet they are rehearsed.
30:25Haven't you got any real mates to hang out with?
30:26Oi!
30:27Stop messing around with that.
30:28Give it here.
30:34I meant pass it!
30:35Well, it's not my fault you can't catch.
30:37What are we going to do now?
30:40Frankie, wait!
30:42Hey.
30:43What if Rex is right and we can't ever come back?
30:45Come back for what?
30:46A cheat in Dad?
30:48Another broken family?
30:49Besides, everything around here just reminds me of JJ.
30:52So I know I'm ready.
30:53Are you?
30:53Because you're asking Lucas to go on the run when he's sick.
30:57What, do you think he'll change his mind and not want to come?
30:59Well, if he's got a tumour, do you even know if it's safe for him to fly?
31:03But initially he said yes, so...
31:05I don't know, maybe he'll say yes again when he finds out you're not coming back, but he needs to
31:09know.
31:10I guess this is one way of finding out whether he loves me or not.
31:14Quick, grab your passport.
31:15I'll see you at the bus stop.
31:16OK.
31:22So yesterday, Ro told us that he'd been thinking about suicide.
31:26Oh.
31:27I'm so sorry.
31:28Is he OK?
31:30Are you OK?
31:30Well, I have found someone for him to talk to who I think is going to help, but...
31:36Is this all my fault?
31:38Why would you think that?
31:40Well, because a few weeks ago I fell off the wagon, but it was a big mistake.
31:47Diane, you slipped.
31:49What happened was an accident.
31:50I don't think that planted a seed in Roe.
31:52You've been through something traumatic too.
31:55I don't know how I'd cope if Tori ever contemplated that.
31:59Tori?
32:01It's a nice name, is that your daughters?
32:04Yeah.
32:05She's great.
32:06We adopted Tori when she was six years old.
32:09My wife had an accident.
32:11After that, she couldn't have kids.
32:14I'm so sorry.
32:16Don't be.
32:17If we'd have had a baby of our own, we'd never have met Tori.
32:21And that wee girl, she's...
32:23She's my world.
32:25But Diane, you are an amazing mum.
32:28Who recognised that her child was in pain.
32:30And you've found someone who might be able to help it.
32:34Roe's a lucky boy to have you.
32:39Thank you for saying that.
32:42Hey, girl, I think that you're starting to care.
32:56I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
32:58She's not really familiar with her children and even like me.
33:01I'm so sorry.
33:04She's so sorry, but it's really amazing.
33:05I am so sorry.
33:06This lady, she's so worried.
33:06No, she's so worried.
33:09And the woman.
33:11This lady is my son's son's son.
33:13Her son's son said.
33:16And I'm so sorry.
33:20hello
33:21hope you're decent
33:30Ray
33:31yeah, are you with us?
33:45hey
33:46yeah, I need you to send a message
33:48to little Miss Frankie
33:50you tell her, she runs out on me
33:52she's not the only one she's putting in danger
33:56any luck?
33:58it's probably
33:58half way down the deep by now
34:00it wasn't expensive, was it?
34:01don't worry, the payout from your life insurance should cover it
34:04Lexi was expecting to come home to a massive party
34:07she's going to be devastated
34:08oh look mate, I'm sorry, it's my fault I'm an idiot
34:11well at least we can agree on one thing
34:13you might as well take this luck down
34:14at least till I get a new ring

34:18what? who is that for?
34:21well who do you think?

36:05and have you thought about what would happen if Lucas collapses again in the middle of nowhere
36:08miles from help?
36:09how could you live with yourself if something bad happened to my son and I know that you were to
36:13blame?

38:43and they might still be out there
38:47it's all right, you're okay
38:50I think this is all my fault
38:52must have been a mistake
38:54well, that's a bit stupid, isn't it?
38:56calling the police
38:56instead of one of her criminal pals
38:58incredibly
39:01I think it's R.O. I'd better go and see how we got on
39:05and thanks for the chat
39:06you'll be lovely to meet Tony one day
39:08aye, I'm sure you will
39:10see you
39:16so I'm going to call the police
39:18why not?
39:20because someone's after her
39:22is that right?
39:23is this true?
39:24I don't know
39:24but if you call the police it's going to make everything worse
39:26Frankie, what if Oscar had been in here?
39:28or your granddad?
39:29I know
39:29I know, okay
39:30and I'm sorry

39:33I didn't mean for any of this to happen
39:34I can't just calm down, okay?
39:36we'll sort this out, eh?
39:37no, it's not okay, Darren
39:38I mean, what if the flames had spread
39:40and we couldn't rescue Morgan?
39:41well, she's obviously in trouble
39:42oh, that girl is always in trouble
39:44and we are so supportive
39:45I mean, first the drugs
39:47then the theft
39:47and now we're getting firebombs through our window
39:49Frankie?
39:53Frankie!
39:56so, why don't you want to marry me?
39:57I'm picking the girls up from school
39:59hey, I can do that
40:01is this because of the ring?
40:02because I didn't want to propose with that one
40:03no
40:03I thought he was going to catch it
40:05it isn't about the ring
40:06and I know I'm still technically married to Grace
40:08and the divorce is going to be a bit messy
40:10Freddie
40:10this is about me stepping up
40:11as a father, as a husband
40:13I want to build a future for our little family
40:14I want to be with you for the rest of my life
40:16no, okay?
40:17can't you get that through with your big head?
40:19I don't want to marry you
40:24Freddie, I'm sorry
40:28wow
40:31I thought Dylan might be here by now
40:33hey
40:36you're going to miss your flight
40:37well, he said he was on his way ages ago, so
40:41yeah, erm, right Lucas
40:43the thing is
40:43before
40:45is Dylan?
40:49hi Lucas, er, it's me
40:53I don't think we should go on this holiday
40:56you're not well and
40:59I can't be around you anymore, I'm sorry
41:08you okay?
41:11I thought we were getting back together
41:14come here
41:17hey, listen to me
41:19you are so much better off without him, okay?
41:23what are you still doing here?
41:24I just had a message saying Frankie's house has been attacked
41:27this is why I told you
41:28you need to go, alright?
41:29you need to get on that plane
41:30and never come back
41:31but I wanted Lucas to come
41:33alright, and he told me to let him down
41:35forget about Lucas
41:37okay?
41:37your lives are in danger if you stay
41:40she never really cared about us, did she?
41:44I do
41:46now you need to get out of here
41:48now
42:02Rex!
42:04yeah, what's going on?
42:07I saw you having a cosy chat with Dylan
42:10anything to do with my house being set on fire?
42:15where's Frankie?
42:16what are you doing, my girl?
42:17you know, I should have figured this out weeks ago
42:19when Frankie stole from us
42:20and you helped me get through to her
42:22the reason you knew she was on drugs
42:24is because you're the one supplier
42:25get your hands off me!
42:31what have you got Frankie involved in?
42:34Grace!
42:36er, listen, I wouldn't get my hands dirty
42:38I did warn you, these people that I work with don't appreciate being drugged and robbed
42:43these people are using me and Dylan, you are using me!
42:48you said you'd look after me
42:49you said I was like family and you would never let anything bad happen!
42:53listen, alright, I have looked after you
42:57look at all the things I've given you
43:00you would never have afforded any of that without me
43:03you wanted me to have sex with men for money after everything I've been through!
43:08hey, listen, that first party
43:11you were a pro at flirting with that guy
43:14I mean, you were perfectly happy
43:16but besides
43:18nobody is forcing you into this
43:20you can get out anytime you want
43:22except I can't
43:23can I?
43:24because someone might put a brick through my window
43:28or you might set fire to my house!
43:31you have trapped me!
43:32no!
43:33I have protected you!
43:35but it doesn't feel right
43:37and I don't feel safe
43:39and I just want everything to go back to how it was before all of this
43:42hey, listen
43:44before you were in a hole
43:46alright, and I saved you
43:48and you know what?
43:49I'm gonna save you again
43:51what do you mean?
43:53you want out?
43:55I'll get you out
43:56I'll get you out
44:09Dylan was just as excited as I was
44:11I don't get it
44:15Dylan's a coward
44:17leaving your voice not like that
44:21hey
44:22but you know, now you're staying
44:25maybe we should run the hospital
44:27and get the ball rolling
44:28Dad, don't start with us again
44:30you've got a serious condition, Lucas
44:32you need to be seen by a surgeon
44:34and you heard what they said, the tumour, it could grow
44:36just stop it, alright
44:37because I don't need it, Dad
44:38hey, Steve, I need you to mind our car
44:40where are you going?
44:42what's up with him?
44:47straight up Frankie
44:48got hooked on drugs
44:49you don't get away with that
44:50I'm trying to save her
44:51you don't understand
44:52she's been abused
44:53yeah
44:54she was vulnerable
44:55she needed help
44:56and you
44:57and your filthy mates
44:58saw that as an opportunity
45:01what else did you get her into, eh?

45:32I'm trying to save her
45:34dead Dylan
45:35I got them into this world
45:37and I'm trying to get them out of it
45:40what then?
45:42this is the world we chose
45:43it's grubby and it's violent
45:44but it's all we know
45:47I've never chose this world
45:50I was forced into it
45:59hey, Lucas, have you seen Freddy?
46:01um, no
46:02sorry, I haven't
46:04hey, are you alright, love?
46:05oh, hang on, I've got a tissue
46:08hey
46:12what is it for a trouble?
46:14how do you guess?
46:16ah, John Paul
46:17he was an hopeless romantic
46:19he was head over heels
46:20with your dad
46:20when they were married, you know
46:23my dad wants me to get an operation
46:26oh, what for?
46:28from a brain tumour
46:30I need to get it removed
46:31otherwise it could grow
46:32you know, it could get worse
46:33and it might kill me, so
46:34oh, love, you must be
46:35you must be terrified
46:38I'm sorry, I didn't know
46:41no, it's okay
46:42do you have to have the operation?
46:46I don't wanna
46:48you know, I just wanted to go on holiday with Dylan
46:50you know, forget about everything
46:53well, he dumped me
46:55sorry
46:56well, then you're better off without him
46:58eh?
47:00and as for running away
47:02oh, I get that
47:04I mean
47:04I may not have been the best parent
47:06but I have always done my best
47:09and
47:10and that's all your dad's trying to do for you
47:12he's just trying to do his best
47:15because you know
47:16the pain of losing a child
47:20it's unimaginable
47:23are you okay?
47:24do you want him to stay back?
47:26no, it's our mercy
47:31she's on her last round of chemo now
47:33and she's not out of the woods yet
47:36but it's looking good
47:37and that's because
47:39she's had the treatment
47:40and she didn't give up
47:45we all want you, darling
47:47you need to have that operation
47:53I'll say a little prayer for you
47:55thanks
48:00come on, come on
48:10I thought we could go and get something to eat
48:11anything you like
48:12we just need to get out of that house, don't we?
48:14Elsie?
48:16Freddie
48:17what's wrong?
48:17I
48:19you haven't seen Darren, have you?
48:21he went to look for Frankie
48:22but we
48:23couldn't stay inside, could we?
48:25what if they came back?
48:26who?
48:28someone attacked the house
48:30they broke a window
48:31there was a fire, it was bad
48:32what?
48:33I spoke to
48:34DI Banks
48:35but he said without CCTV
48:37we're unlikely to find out who did it
48:40but stuff like this
48:41it just
48:42shouldn't happen to us
48:43I'm just a mum and a teacher
48:44but do you have any idea who it was?
48:46no, but it's something to do with Frankie
48:50it's all just a big mess, isn't it?
48:52she has been fighting against us for months
48:55and maybe we should have tried harder
48:57but she just makes it so difficult
48:59it's not your fault
49:01when people are hurting
49:02they lash out, push you away
49:06when what they really need is to be loved even more
49:10I'm so sorry, I've got to go
49:15I didn't know what I was getting myself into at the time
49:18how old were you?
49:22fifteen
49:24sixteen
49:28no, I tried to stop Dylan and Frankie going down the same path but
49:34when Grace wants something
49:36you were picked up off the streets?
49:38I was taken in
49:41fed
49:42clothed
49:43and they made you steal for a living?
49:46sell drugs?
49:50have sex with men
49:53the boss, he came over to me and he um
49:55put his arm around me
49:58told me it was okay
50:01you know, he seemed to
50:03accept me
50:05he was kind
50:06and then after the parties and the drugs
50:08the men started showing up
50:10and
50:11I know it's wrong looking back now but
50:15at the time I kind of enjoyed it
50:18I was the centre of attention
50:22I soon found out that there was no way out
50:25and I'd be dead if I tried
50:27you rose up the ranks pretty quick
50:28you must have been useful to them
50:34I made them a lot of money
50:38I even started recruiting kids like myself
50:44I became the guy that I used to be so afraid of
50:50but Grace is your sister
50:52surely if she knew what happened
50:54how you felt about it
50:55she's too far gone now
50:57she got what she wants, she's Grace Black and
51:02no one's gonna take that from her
51:05you've got a heart
51:06and a conscience
51:13I knew Frankie didn't want to sleep with that sleazy guy
51:20I remember that feeling
51:24feeling trapped like
51:26like no one was gonna go and save me
51:32look you can't
51:34you can't tell Grace okay
51:36if she found out she'll kill me
51:38I won't say a word
51:42on one condition
