00:00Seeing as you're both at a loose end,
00:02why don't you go to Bo's horror movie thing at the youth club?
00:06It might be good,
00:08and I'm worried no one's going to turn up, so...
00:10It can be your good deed for the day.
00:13Cindy, I need you!
00:15You need to sort yourself out.
00:17Cindy, if you go, I've got nothing!
00:20What's he doing here?
00:22Is this some sort of set-up?
00:24I did warn you that this weekend wouldn't be easy.
00:40I did warn you.
01:22You seriously want me to go on a camping trip with him?
01:25This isn't just about Jackson. This is about you and your healing.
01:31Think of your son?
01:32I am thinking about my son.
01:35You're insane if you think I'm going anywhere with him.
01:52Oh, wait, wait, look at you. You do wearing a suit, eh, lover boy?
02:04Looks like an interesting book, James. What's that about?
02:09Oh, yeah, no, no. It's an absolute classic tale of forbidden love.
02:15It's one of the great reads, actually. It crops up on all the great book lists.
02:33Guys, can you just let me be? I just want my coffee in peace.
02:37Well, you've still not explained why you're in a suit.
02:41Does a grown fella need a reason?
02:43Well, in his usual attire, he's kind of beach bum of the north,
02:47and he does really, yeah, doesn't he?
02:49You obviously didn't want us to know because you tried to sneak in.
02:52I wasn't sneaking anywhere, OK?
02:54I was trying not to disturb you guys.
03:00Do you know what?
03:01I'm going to have my coffee elsewhere.
03:04Alone.
03:09Oh, that was weird.
03:14You know what I think?
03:16I think this whole suit get-up thing has to do with Cindy.
03:21How'd you wrote that one out?
03:22Well, I reckon he went out this morning with the intention to win her back,
03:26realised he looked like a moody accountant, got embarrassed and came home.
03:29You think?
03:30Yeah.
03:31He's heartbroken over her, isn't he?
03:33He'd do anything to get her back.
03:34I mean, why else would he dress like that?
03:36Unless it was to woo back his glamorous lover.
03:40Let's not say lover and my dad in the same sentence, please.
03:43Noted.
03:45But we do need to help him win her back.
03:48He's not that bad, is he?
03:50Er...
03:51Yeah.
03:52He's like a heartbroken teenage boy.
03:55Yeah.
03:56You'd know all about that, wouldn't you, my little precious?
04:01Look, mate.
04:03I'm not listening to one of them 90s anthems blaring out his room ever again.
04:07Yeah, you're right.
04:08He needs help.
04:12Right, my friend.
04:13You get your bow an hour ready, because we are about to play Cupid.
04:18Sending Ella to stay with that self-obsessed mother of hers.
04:21What possessed you?
04:23It's for her own good.
04:24Oh, don't play that card with me.
04:26I'm going to put a stop to it.
04:28It's too late.
04:35You all right, mate?
04:38Are you drunk?
04:39You're not supposed to be drinking.
04:41I'm not drunk.
04:43All right?
04:44It's just...
04:46You look a little bit worse for wearing, that's all.
04:55Do you want to talk about it?
04:59Do you know something?
05:02All I've ever wanted for my entire life is to be a good dad.
05:09I can't even get that right.
05:12Come on, mate.
05:14It's not like we get a manual.
05:15Well, people like us, we didn't have great father figures to look up to.
05:23So we're just making it up as we go along.
05:27Messing it up as we go along?
05:29Messing up his whole part out of it.
05:36He'll be home soon.
05:38Trust me.
05:41I'm not so sure.
05:42I just don't really see what the appeal for him would be.
05:47You?
05:49You're the appeal.
05:52Improved.
05:53Sober.
05:55Putting him first before anyone else.
06:00Well, a kid wouldn't want that.
06:05Listen, I...
06:06I'll leave you to it.
06:08Most cars aren't gonna fix themselves.
06:10Okay.
06:12See ya.
06:16Warren.
06:21Thanks, man.
06:38Oh, looky, you're a hard man stealing the keys.
06:57Introducing...
06:58The Dead Judge!
07:01Here to reap revenge an old fogey beau for barring us, not long will he rue the day he wronged
07:07us.
07:08Don't be making it all cringe by being overdramatic.
07:11Well, it's not being overdramatic.
07:14It's called acting, hun.
07:15Look it up.
07:18Oh, for your information, viewers.
07:21The lovely Dylan here was our second choice to play the judge.
07:25Obviously, I was first, but these two idiots can't be trusted to film anything.
07:29Is she always like this?
07:31Yep.
07:33Amazing.
07:33Here's how we really scare Beau.
07:39Oh, you're good.
07:41Places, everybody.
07:42Roger.
07:44This is gonna be hilarious.
07:47Make sure you guys scream really loud, yeah?
07:50Hello?
07:54Anyone there?
07:59Run!
08:01Who's there?
08:01Stop!
08:10Heard anything from John Paul?
08:12No.
08:14We can give him a few more minutes.
08:16And what if he's not ready?
08:18Look, if it's gonna be an issue me being here, I can just leave.
08:21No, Jackson, you have your own reasons for being here.
08:26Here we go.
08:29Are you okay?
08:33You ready?
08:38Let's do it.
08:49Oh, God.
08:52Mate, that was so fun.
08:54Really?
08:54Was it?
08:55Well, you could pay for my incoming nose job then, yeah?
08:57No, we just traumatised Mr Ramsay.
09:00No, we need to just go out and apologise.
09:01No, we don't.
09:03No-one will know it's us.
09:04Plus, if you delete that video off your phone, you'll be never there.
09:07All right, fine.
09:09I...
09:11Where is my phone?
09:12Guessing this is yours then?
09:13Left at the scene of the crime.
09:15I'm sure your parents will be thrilled to find out what you've been up to all afternoon.
09:19Mr Ramsay, we're...
09:20We're dead, sorry.
09:22We're dead, dead, dead.
09:23Sorry.
09:23Yeah, ditto.
09:25I'm guessing that's the price you pay for good entertainment.
09:27What?
09:28I think we've got three budding filmmakers in our midst.
09:32So we're not in trouble?
09:33No.
09:34And I've heard about a Halloween-themed short film competition.
09:37Introducing...
09:37If you three put that in, you'll get my vote.
09:55Okay, gather round.
10:00How are we all doing?
10:01Not thrilled to be camping in the woods this close to Halloween.
10:04Well, there are no ghosts here.
10:05Only the ones we carry ourselves.
10:09And everyone here has them.
10:12Shall we begin with our mantra?
10:16Who here remembers it?
10:18Gareth.
10:22I vow to make him proud.
10:24I vow to be a good neighbour.
10:26I vow to live a life that's pure, free of toxins, sex and sin.
10:34We all have our dysfunctions.
10:37The parts of ourselves that we're ashamed of.
10:41And while some of us have met before,
10:45I ask you today to leave your egos at the door.
10:48This is about healing.
10:53Rebirth.
10:54So let's lean on each other.
10:57And show each other the strength with which to grow.
11:01Let's start by setting up camp.
11:04And then we can move on to the trust exercise,
11:07for which you will need to partner up.
11:12Jackson, would you mind collecting some firewood for us, please?
11:25If Jackson asks you to be his partner, I think it would be good to say yes.
11:31I think it would be a good idea if he weren't my partner.
11:37We're both teachers.
11:39We're used to dealing with wayward students.
11:42So perhaps treat him as a wayward student who needs to be kept in line.
11:48Wayward students deserve my compassion?
11:52John Paul, I know you're finding this incredibly difficult.
11:55But perhaps treat this as an opportunity.
12:00An opportunity for what?
12:02An opportunity to confront whatever it is that's holding you back.
12:08Trust in his plan.
12:10Let him guide you to salvation.
12:14John Paul, would you like to be my partner?
12:17Well...
12:37So, er, what are you waiting for? Go on.
12:40All right, mate, chill out.
12:41I don't want to rush this. Your dad's future happiness relies on us not messing this up.
12:45Oi! I know I am aging like a fine wine, but what are you two staring at?
12:52Come on, spit it out.
12:57Erm...
12:57Well, Dave.
12:59Yeah, what about him?
13:01Well, he misses you.
13:03Don't you, Mason?
13:04Yeah, massively.
13:05Obvs, I am amazing.
13:08Well, he's not getting another chance.
13:09What? Like, ever?
13:11In the words of a famous queen, we are never, ever getting back together.
13:17What a shame.
13:18Dave's miserable without you is a right, sad sight.
13:21Can't be that bad.
13:22No, he is.
13:23I'm pretty sure he was coming here to try and win you back by doing a romantic gesture or something.
13:27What, Dave was?
13:28Yeah, he was, erm, well dressed up and, er, proper made an effort.
13:31We think he chickened out because he knew you'd say no.
13:34Erm, but, you know, let's face it, you're out of his league and he knows it.
13:38Well, he's not wrong.
13:39Well, erm, don't worry, cos once he gets out of his rut, someone will sweep him up.
13:44I'd like you to catch.
13:45Yeah, and, er, once he's back on the dating scene, he'll, er, have his mojo back.
13:50Yeah, and then hopefully he'll get over you for good.
14:06Hey, you good at this?
14:12Look, I know that I don't deserve your compassion or your forgiveness.
14:17But I am sorry for what I've done to you.
14:21That night when I went for you, I was meant to see my kid.
14:27Yeah, my ex, she put a stop to it.
14:30I hadn't seen him for over a month, mate, my own kid.
14:36I ain't justifying my actions.
14:38Yeah, but when my ex pulls stunts like that, it's like a switch goes off in my brain and I
14:41just, I do what I always do.
14:44Go out, get drunk.
14:46So you've got a drink problem, have you?
14:49I'm sober for the most part.
14:52I've done a lot of work on myself and Carter, he's helped a lot.
14:55But sometimes, mate, I slip up.
14:58And I go out, I get bladdered and I just, I look for a fight.
15:03So that's what happened?
15:05That night, is it?
15:06I could have killed you that night.
15:08I was this close and, mate, I never, ever would have forgiven myself if I had.
15:14It's not, it's not what you did that bothers me as much as why you did it.
15:22That, that could have been anyone, mate.
15:24Anyone?
15:26You attacked me because I'm gay.
15:29I chose you, yeah, because you're showing weakness.
15:32That is all.
15:33That's all.
15:36Even now, it's just me and you here and you can't admit that you're a homophobe.
15:47Unbelievable.
15:57Oh, mate.
15:59Come on, Ray.
16:01Babe.
16:02Silly.
16:04Good suit.
16:05Wow.
16:06Not to impress me.
16:07B plus for effort.
16:09Huh?
16:11The boys said that you were in a bad place.
16:14You okay?
16:16Sorry, boys, which boy, who's been saying what?
16:19Charlie and Mason said that you were lost without me.
16:23That you were plotting and scheming to get me back.
16:26Card's on the table.
16:2795% of me doesn't think you deserve it.
16:30Cindy.
16:30But, 5% of me is open to it.
16:33On the condition that you consider romantic gestures.
16:36Cindy.
16:37I'm not wearing a suit for you.
16:39What?
16:40What are you wearing it for, then?
16:41I'm not wearing it for anyone.
16:44I've just spent the day in court.
16:47And, er...
16:49I've been sentenced for possession.
16:59What's happened?
17:00I'm leaving.
17:02Why?
17:03How am I supposed to forgive him if he won't even admit to being homophobic?
17:08God forgives all.
17:09Why can't you?
17:10God wouldn't forgive a violent bigot.
17:13So you speak for God now, do you?
17:16No.
17:16He came to me because he wanted to be free from the trauma of a violent childhood.
17:22Are you telling me that I shouldn't have helped him?
17:26No, I...
17:26And don't you too want to be free from your past?
17:30More than anything.
17:32Yet, ever since you got here, you've neglected the one task I set you, which is to focus on yourself.
17:39I'm trying.
17:41It's hard when...
17:42It is always going to be hard.
17:44Because change requires action.
17:46And action can be difficult.
17:48But it is the only way that we can move forward.
17:52Or maybe I was wrong about you.
17:55Maybe you're not ready to resolve your issues with your son.
17:58You're not ready to fight for Matthew because you're not willing to put his needs above yours.
18:02All I'm seeing right now, John Paul, is a weak man.
18:06So, go home.
18:08You don't deserve to be here.
18:11You don't deserve to be here.
18:17I'm not in!
18:35I'm not in!
18:35Hey!
18:36Hey!
18:37Um, I forgot to give you the good news.
18:39Can I come in?
18:40Fine.
18:40Only because I don't want anyone else seeing me looking like Shrek.
18:44So, I got sentenced to community service.
18:48I'm not going to prison, huh?
18:50I mean, that's good news.
18:52Yeah, that's great.
18:54Yeah, I mean, I would have told you first, but the way I messed up, it just wasn't an option.
19:02You want me to feel sorry for you?
19:03No.
19:04No, no, no, no.
19:05I'm just trying to tell you how guided I am that, you know, I blew with you.
19:10And I really am.
19:11You know.
19:12The fact that a woman like you would even look at a guy like me is mad.
19:17You know, I mean, you know, look at you, even with the, what is that, avocado on your face.
19:22You know, you're still the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
19:25I do look good in green.
19:26Yeah, you do.
19:27Yeah, you do.
19:28And you know, you deserve romantic gestures.
19:32And you know I don't do romantic gestures.
19:34I do.
19:35Yeah.
19:36But if romantic gestures is going to win you back, then I'm prepared.
19:40You know?
19:41Because, you know, when you, if you decide to forgive me, then, um, well, I'll be waiting.
19:50I'll be waiting.
19:57Yeah.
20:14Gentlemen, before we eat, I was hoping that you would join me in prayer.
20:25Dear Lord, the journey to redemption can be a lonely one.
20:33Grant us the strength to find courage in others and allow us to use that strength to rid ourselves of
20:45resentment.
20:47And to find compassion in our hearts for those who have wronged us.
20:55I owe you an explanation.
20:58Forgiveness is freedom.
21:00You came to me asking for forgiveness, and I rejected that, and that was selfish of me.
21:08Ultimately, that's what God wants for us all.
21:13I wasn't ready to go on my journey yet.
21:18Okay, my journey isn't just about you and me.
21:20My journey is about my son, and my journey's about God.
21:26No.
21:29Look, I just want to be a good father.
21:33And in order to do that, I need to be free, and I need to forgive you.
21:44So, um...
22:04I think he's ready.
22:07Isn't that a bit risky?
22:10If we rush, things could massively backfire.
22:12I won't.
22:14Trust me.
22:14It's time.
22:17He'll soon be rid of his homosexuality.
22:51It sounds ridiculous.
22:54Is there really any point in going in for this competition?
22:57I just feel like it's a classic case of too much admin and very little reward.
23:03The prize is two grand.
23:05What?
23:05Look.
23:08Stop faffing about then and sign us up!
23:15Stop faffing about then and sign us up!
