00:00You are, aren't you?
00:01You're accusing me of robbing you.
00:03I've not got your crypto wallet.
00:04It doesn't matter anywhere.
00:06Without the seed phrases, it's useless.
00:08He's shut everything down on socials.
00:10So?
00:10Mum, these are actions of a guilty man.
00:13I think Rex has been trolling himself.
00:15There's been no contact for years.
00:16What if she's changed?
00:18We can talk to her.
00:19I will never allow that woman back into our lives.
00:22If Maddox finds out that I'm not his real mum,
00:24that would kill him.
00:56I'm onto you.
00:57Beth, just give me more time.
01:00I can sort this.
01:02Mum!
01:03You alright?
01:15Ah, better go to the loft.
01:18Got a delivery coming in.
01:22Do you think he knows yet?
01:24That his crypto wallet's missing.
01:32Hiya, you alright?
01:33Tommy, yeah?
01:34I'm not.
01:36Just coming to get a little treat for Rex.
01:37I'm not to cheer him up.
01:39Who can resist the breakfast for Eto, eh?
01:41Yeah!
01:42I'm sure he'll love that.
01:43I'm not.
01:44I'm not gonna sit you with them.
01:48I can't.
01:50It'll really upset him.
01:54I'm done.
01:55Maddox, I don't have time for this.
01:57Just pack what you need and what has gone in an hour.
01:58An hour?
01:59Right, look, here's Grandad.
02:00OK?
02:01I've tried with them, I've tried with all of them.
02:02Mum, come on!
02:04Grandad's a good bloke, you know that.
02:06He cares about you, about us.
02:08Well, it's all the stuff of Charlie, right?
02:11I just can't let it go.
02:12Then why's he not leaving?
02:14Don't worry, mate.
02:15Look, you've said I can sort this.
02:21And what about Caleb?
02:22He needs us.
02:24Do something!
02:25She's not thinking straight.
02:26I am working on it, mate.
02:27Who are you?
02:27I'm not going.
02:28I'm not.
02:31Mads!
02:48What do you mean trolling yourself online is just unhinged?
02:51Now we've got to come out here to avoid wrecks.
02:54I know.
02:55I have to tell him.
02:56I just need to find the right words.
03:00Gemma, are you going to get that?
03:02Er, no.
03:02They're closest to the door.
03:05I can't wait till we're in our houseboat.
03:11Right, now you ran off earlier before I could ask.
03:14Are you both serious about redecorating our Leela's place?
03:17Hi, Gemma.
03:18Hiya.
03:19Oh, is that what you're thinking?
03:20Well, good luck getting Rex or Leela to agree on a colour palette.
03:23Like a married couple, they won't agree on anything.
03:26Once I saw the stuffy little blogging thing,
03:28they should interview me.
03:30I always thought I'd make a cracking social media star.
03:33You've got to have something about you when I have.
03:34Plus, imagine all freebies that you get.
03:40Actually, I'd love to interview you.
03:42Let's do it now.
03:46Are you just going to stay in here all day and stare at me?
03:49Yeah, yeah.
03:50You know what?
03:50I just, I love the way that you're saying.
03:52Do you want a bag with that?
03:53Shut up.
03:53I'm just saying, that's cute.
03:55How cute is it?
03:56Yeah?
03:57Come here.
03:58I've been looking for you everywhere, bro.
04:00Why not answering your phone?
04:02Hang on, what's happened?
04:03It's Mum.
04:03She's packing up.
04:04I think she's taking me off for good.
04:06Why?
04:07What's Dad said?
04:08No, it's just me and Mum.
04:09She said something about Grandad, but the way she's acting,
04:11it's like the police are after her or something.
04:13Well, why would they be after her?
04:15I don't know.
04:16It's really weird.
04:17I can't see her phone, for goodness sake.
04:19I'm not going.
04:20Just do as your Mum tells you.
04:21Go home and get packed.
04:22Now.
04:23Beth, Beth, Beth.
04:24Look, if you need help, just tell us.
04:27Well, if you want to help, just stay out of it.
04:35It's been days.
04:36I still don't have my crypto wallet.
04:38What?
04:38I'm trying.
04:40I spoke to the guy on the desk.
04:41He was knocked out.
04:42He didn't see anything.
04:43I've made a call.
04:44The guys are coming in.
04:45What, all of them?
04:47They're the only ones that knew it was there.
04:49No more waiting.
04:50No more quiet digging.
04:51If one of them's taking it, I'll flush them out myself.
04:55And you, you're going to help me.
04:59When you get better, we are off to Miami.
05:02All them lush beaches, snorkelling.
05:08Shopping.
05:09I think that's more for you then, eh?
05:12True that.
05:14What did Dot say?
05:16Yeah.
05:17He's, er...
05:19He's recovered from his infection.
05:21Oh, that's good.
05:22But, erm...
05:23The test results have come back.
05:26He's definitely going to need a transplant.
05:30Which means we have to keep Jensen sweet.
05:34Yeah.
05:36He's probably going to start his chemo soon.
05:40Get him ready for this transplant.
05:43If we don't get this password, we can kiss goodbye to our Miami dream.
05:48Do you not think I know that?
05:50I can't just ask him for it, can I?
05:53Because he'll know his crypto wallet's missing.
05:55Right, this security guard that you knocked out, he didn't clock you, did he?
06:00I don't think so.
06:01There's one thing for sure.
06:04Jen's still be deaf without talking to him.
06:06Which is why we have to get that password.
06:09Before he realises we're the ones who took it.
06:13Welcome to a very special edition of The Pairing Room with Leah Barnes.
06:19Sponsored by Enduring Data.
06:22Clean up your digital life.
06:24Today's guest is my dad, Stephen Hayne.
06:30Hi, guys.
06:31Er, make sure you tune in, like and subscribe.
06:34Dad married his fifth husband, Rex Gallagher, back in May,
06:38after a whirlwind romance.
06:41So, Dad, how is married life with Rex?
06:46Er, yeah, it's great, it's been amazing.
06:49Well, Rex is a really fascinating guy.
06:52You didn't know that he liked wearing femme clothes
06:54at the start of the relationship, did you?
06:57Er, no. No, I didn't.
07:00And how did that make you feel?
07:03Fine.
07:05Because I'm not a bigot, am I?
07:07So why would it be a problem?
07:08I never said it was.
07:11What was it like being out together in public?
07:17Did you find that difficult?
07:20Am I asking these questions?
07:22Well, I'll be honest.
07:23I admire Rex for embracing who he is,
07:26but I'm just wondering if you're actually there with him.
07:31I'm proud of him.
07:33Because it takes a lot of courage, you know?
07:38I know the type of man that you're attracted to.
07:42And it's, it's not Rex.
07:45Stop it now.
07:47I said, go and stop it.
07:54Look me in the eyes and tell me that this Rex still turns you on.
07:59No, it doesn't.
08:00Okay?
08:01Are you happy now?
08:02I just wanted to know the truth.
08:03You want the truth?
08:04Okay.
08:06So I'll give you the unfiltered version, shall I?
08:09If it was a mate, fine.
08:11I'd love it.
08:12Right?
08:13Dress how you want, be how you want.
08:14But as a partner and a lover, I just, I can't get into it.
08:17It doesn't do it for me.
08:19And I've tried to tune into it.
08:20I really have.
08:22Tried to find the version of Rex that I fell in love with at the start,
08:24despite what he's wearing, but I just can't do it.
08:29Then I think to myself, is this going to be it now for the rest of our lives?
08:32Because if it is, then maybe it'd be easier if...
08:40It's not fair on him.
08:42And it's not fair on me.
08:44So I need to find a way to end this once and for all.
08:48What do you mean by that?
08:52Why don't we talk about you for a second?
08:55The girl who walked out on her own kid and left her son with me.
08:58She never once rang.
09:00You never came home and checked when we were struggling.
09:02I had an adoptive family lined up to take James.
09:05You were the one that convinced me to let you have him.
09:08Yeah, because he needed to be with family.
09:09No, he was better away from all of us.
09:12Especially you.
09:15You slept with your son's boyfriend.
09:18I mean, were you thinking about Lucas when you were blowing up this family?
09:22And what about who you are now?
09:25The Leah that's come back from America with this shiny new life.
09:29With the image, the money, the followers.
09:32Hold to hide who you really are.
09:34Because deep down, actually, you're embarrassed about where you've come from.
09:38Your own son hated you so much that he tried to kill you.
09:40There we go.
09:43The real Leah bards, we should have got that on camera.
09:46The one who's bitter and spiteful.
09:48How you're being right now is how the monsters online are attacking Rex.
09:51No-one is after Rex.
09:52Yeah, Claudia, you know exactly what he's going through right now.
09:54He's doing it to himself.
09:56All the comments, all the messages online.
09:58He's sending them to himself.
10:00You're sick.
10:04You're sick.
10:06You're sick.
10:08Sick.
10:19Oh, hiya, son.
10:20Cup of tea?
10:21Not exactly a social visit.
10:24I need some money transferring.
10:27Five grand.
10:29For what?
10:31It's for Beth.
10:32She needs your help.
10:35All right.
10:35Come here, buying details.
10:40Hey!
10:42What's going on?
10:43Beth's in trouble.
10:45She's packing up, taking Maddox.
10:47Why? What's happened?
10:48All you need to know is she's making a massive mistake.
10:51And we need to stop her.
10:57Stay.
10:57You okay?
10:58Well, what is it with my kids?
11:00Ah, Leah has turned into a right snotty cow.
11:02What's happened?
11:03Well, you know the messages Rex has been getting.
11:05Leah reckons that they're all fake.
11:06As if he'd lie about something like that.
11:08Do you know what I mean?
11:09Like, the poor guy gets attacked by a bunch of lads in the garage,
11:11now he's got to deal with this as well.
11:13Right.
11:15Erm...
11:16Why are you saying it like that?
11:18I don't know about the messages.
11:20But he didn't get attacked by a gang.
11:22It was one guy.
11:24And he looked like he was running from somewhere.
11:25But no, that's not true at all.
11:27And how would you know?
11:29CCTV at the garage.
11:31I would have told you, Steve.
11:32It's just...
11:36I swear to Rex.
11:39I'll leave you to it.
11:42Steve, I'm so sorry, okay?
11:44I didn't mean for it to get this far.
11:46No, no.
11:47After I got hit,
11:49you cared for me, okay?
11:50I knew that you cared.
11:51And you even fought for me, okay?
11:52You made me feel like I mattered.
11:54So you've been lying.
11:57To make me feel something for you.
11:59It just felt like...
12:02I don't know, it felt like you've been slipping away.
12:04And like...
12:05The story, it brought you back to me.
12:08Alright, but after I lied, it just...
12:10I know it got...
12:12It got harder to...
12:14I'm sorry, Steve.
12:15I had...
12:16Oh!
12:17All you've been saying is that you want to live your life openly and truthfully.
12:20But all these lies...
12:23That...
12:25That's who you really are, innit?
12:28You took something that traumatises people.
12:31That real victims go through and you lied about it.
12:33I just want you to look at me like you used to!
12:37I actually don't want to look at you ever again.
12:44You'd think he'd be grateful to be told the truth by his lying scumbag of a husband, but...
12:48No, somehow, I'm the one in the wrong.
12:50You have a point about Rex, but...
12:52But what?
12:53Why couldn't you just have a normal conversation with your dad?
12:55Why does everything with you have to be content?
12:57What?
12:58I love my dad.
13:00Do you actually think I'm going to post that?
13:02Aren't you?
13:04Oh, whatever.
13:06What?
13:06Aren't you coming?
13:07Maybe I will.
13:08Maybe I won't.
13:11Two kids off.
13:20You missed a spot?
13:22Yeah, right.
13:23Come on, we're going to the loft for a drink.
13:26Yeah, I would, but...
13:27We'll clean all this stuff.
13:28No-one's going to steal your bucket.
13:30Let's go.
13:33Okay.
13:44All of you...
13:47at one point...
13:52Have been trusted...
13:54to guard something...
13:56very...
13:57precious to me.
14:01But one of you's...
14:04One of you's has stepped out of line.
14:07Taken something...
14:08that isn't yours.
14:10So I'm going to give you the opportunity...
14:13to come forward.
14:16You know what?
14:20I'm sick of you.
14:22This wasn't nothing to do...
14:23with any of us.
14:25You fed Paul to the wolves last week.
14:27He was one of our lads.
14:29He has been...
14:30for years.
14:31And him.
14:32Don't know who you are...
14:34or why you're suddenly flavouring a month.
14:37Well, you grasped up Paul.
14:39And everyone's alright with that.
14:41I gave that order.
14:43And if I hadn't...
14:44we would all be inside.
14:46Right now.
14:48You have one week!
14:51Bring me that wallet.
14:55I'll kill you.
14:55I'll kill you.
14:57I'll kill you.
15:01I'll kill you.
15:03I'll kill you.
15:03I'll kill you.
15:04I'll kill you.
15:04Will you watch out?
15:05He's got a knife!
15:06Hey!
15:11Go, go, go, go!
15:12Get out!
15:15Are you alright?
15:17What the heck is going on?
15:19I'm sorry, Prince.
15:20Next time?
15:20Just run and hide.
15:21Next time?
15:23Saw some dodgy stuff when I worked here, but this?
15:25You need to sort it out before someone gets hurt, mate.
15:28You alright?
15:40You're stupid, stupid, stupid!
15:45Get in!
15:46In!
15:47Oi, what are you doing?
15:48Drive!
15:50Look, I'm not in a good place right now!
15:52I don't care!
15:53Just go anywhere!
15:53I need to be by myself!
15:54Why today?
15:55You've never talked about leaving!
15:57Just drop it, yeah?
15:58No!
15:58I want to stay!
16:00I have a granddad, an uncle, cousins, I have friends I like!
16:03A life I like!
16:05And are you just going to take me away without ever telling me why?
16:08One day I will tell you, I promise.
16:10I want to know now!
16:11And if there's a good enough reason, I'll go with you.
16:14Wherever you want.
16:15There's never a good enough reason.
16:18Alright, without family, you haven't got anything.
16:21Ah!
16:25Hey, get out!
16:27It's sorted!
16:28No, it can't be! She's not going to stop!
16:29She set a price!
16:30I've paid her off!
16:32It's over!
16:38Sorry, yeah!
16:40Don't be!
16:42At least someone gets a happy ending!
16:54Oi!
16:55What happened to you?
16:56Someone pulled a knife!
16:56And our prints weren't firing light!
16:58Just some punter kicking off about a tab!
17:01What punter?
17:02I don't know, I've never seen him before!
17:04Don't worry though, it's sorted now!
17:06Good!
17:07Cos you working here was supposed to make my life easier!
17:13You're impressive today!
17:15You're my best!
17:18Look, I know it wasn't you that stole from me, but it was definitely one of ours that did!
17:23I want my money!
17:24And I won't stop until I get it!
17:28I can't believe I put my dick through that!
17:32I don't even know how to explain!
17:36Now listen you!
17:39You don't have to explain to anyone!
17:41All that matters is that you're home here!
17:44With us!
17:45Yeah!
17:46We don't run and we don't hide, okay?
17:49I made that mistake!
17:52Granted I wasn't well, but um...
17:55You know, the stress it caught Nancy, the kids, and then what's just happened with Charlie,
18:00we know how that ended, don't we?
18:02Nearly destroyed us all!
18:05But not anymore, alright?
18:07We deal with things together.
18:11So come and tell me what's going on.
18:14I might be able to help.
18:17Dad, just...
18:19Just let her come to you when she's ready.
18:27It's been a hard life.
18:30And when you spend most of it feeling like you borrowed...
18:33You hold on tight to what's yours.
18:40But don't worry.
18:42I'm staying put.
18:52Mate, thank you.
18:54You put yourself in real danger.
18:56Mate, don't worry about it.
18:58Anyone would have done the same.
18:59You...
19:00Right, just promise me that you won't do anything like that again.
19:04If you see a weapon, run.
19:06I know, I just acted out of the spare of the moment.
19:09Right, well done.
19:11Don't know what I'd do if you got hurt.
19:14I admit it was stupid.
19:16Love it when you're worried about me.
19:18Sure.
19:22Look, erm...
19:23I'm sorry if I went a little tough love on you earlier.
19:28It's alright.
19:30But remember, I don't always want the truth.
19:34Sometimes I just want you to agree with me.
19:38Even if what I'm saying is completely ridiculous.
19:43Got it.
19:55Miss here?
19:57Heard about the loft.
19:58You alright?
19:59Don't worry.
20:00I'm alright.
20:00Come here.
20:02I am so sorry.
20:05I really am sorry.
20:09You were right about Rex.
20:12All the messages were fake.
20:15And actually...
20:18I'm not sure I want to be with Rex anymore.
20:37I'm sorry.
20:38I'm sorry.
20:54I didn't have any idea of this, but I'm sorry.
20:55I'm sorry.
20:56I might be with Rex.
20:56My son of a deep in the air.
20:56I'm sorry.
20:58I'm sorry.
20:59I'm sorry.
