0:00:03 > 0:00:07Happy as Larry. Could not be happier. Could not be happier.
0:00:07 > 0:00:15This programme contains very strong language.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31In a large housing scheme in Kilmarnock,
0:00:31 > 0:00:36more than 1,000 families live in a mix of privately-owned and council houses.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40A handful of those households agreed to be filmed over a year.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45The Scheme follows some of their stories,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47from star-struck lovers...
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Happy as Larry. Could not be happier.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55..to parents trying to keep their kids on the straight and narrow...
0:00:55 > 0:00:56The tears are starting.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01..and for people fighting for the community...
0:01:01 > 0:01:03How do I think it went? A waste of fucking time.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07..to those just struggling to keep their own families together.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11"So, so sorry. And I'll love you forever and a day."
0:01:12 > 0:01:15The Scheme charts the extraordinary and unpredictable ups...
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Scariest thing I've ever done in my fucking life.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22..and downs...
0:01:22 > 0:01:23INDISTINCT
0:01:23 > 0:01:27..of daily life for six very different households.
0:01:43 > 0:01:51One of the most well-known families, with over 30 members living around the scheme, is the Cunninghams.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Five of them live on the top floor of one house.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- Don't argue, right?- Fuck's sake, I'm never allowed to do nothin'! - You're no' staying out.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Don't start shouting at me. You're no' staying out, right?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Ten o'clock, be in here for.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Watch me. No, I'm no' coming in at ten o'clock.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07- <- In at ten o'clock. - Aye you are.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- I'm over 16, you cannae... - I don't care.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- I'm no' being in for ten o'clock. - Aye, you are.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15No, I'm no'. No, cos naebody else goes in at ten o'clock, Ma.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20- You'll no' sign out. Ten o'clock is long enough.- Aye, aw right. Shut up!
0:02:22 > 0:02:23As former heavy drinkers,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26dad Gordon and mum Annie are desperate to keep
0:02:26 > 0:02:29their youngest, Kimberley, on the straight and narrow.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Gordon spent many early years behind bars,
0:02:32 > 0:02:37while Annie tried to bring up their five kids, two of whom live at home -
0:02:37 > 0:02:40tearaway and all-round bad boy Chris
0:02:40 > 0:02:43and 15-year-old Kimberley, who's celebrating leaving school.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00There's a lot of stupid people out there.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04There's too many things happening these days to be out that late.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06There is dirty men out there.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11See all the paedophiles come out of jail, this is where they all come, they come to Ayrshire.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16I'm not saying they come to Kilmarnock, but there is a paedophile cult in Ayrshire.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23As long as she's with somebody to walk home with at quarter to ten,
0:03:23 > 0:03:24it doesn't bother me.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27If she's not at that door, she'll hear me.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30You heard the cheek of her, there.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Having turned their lives around, Gordon and Annie are desperate
0:03:33 > 0:03:37to make sure history doesn't repeat itself with their own five kids.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Two of the most well-known characters in the scheme
0:03:53 > 0:03:55are recovering drug addict Marvin and his dog Bullet.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Bullet Baird.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01That's what everybody calls him, Bullet Baird.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I'm no' kidding. Everybody knows him, everybody.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08People I don't even know know the dog.
0:04:08 > 0:04:14I used to be in and out of prison constantly, from when I was 17 to I was 24.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17And I've been out for the past five years, so I have.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Coming up on six year I've been out of trouble.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Since I've been off heroin,
0:04:22 > 0:04:26just keeping myself to myself and since I got my accommodation.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30I would like to meet the right person and then
0:04:30 > 0:04:38after that I would like to get a job and just a family - just normality, just a bit of a normal living.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41That's what I would like and for my mum and dad
0:04:41 > 0:04:43not to have to worry about me.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46And Bullet's the best friend I've got just now, so he is.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51It's hard to find a decent friend nowadays, so it is.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54What have you got?
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Marvin may have Bullet, but what he really wants is to settle down
0:05:01 > 0:05:04and have a family and he is looking forward
0:05:04 > 0:05:08to a visit from an old girlfriend, once she gets out of prison.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20With three minutes to go before daughter Kimberley's ten o'clock party deadline,
0:05:20 > 0:05:25Gordon and Annie are beginning to worry that there's no sign of her.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27She'd better be in here for ten o'clock.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29No' make me look like a fool.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Know what I mean?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34It's 57. Three minutes to ten o'clock.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40At ten o'clock, there's still no sign of Kimberley.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41She's no' answering her phone.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48The deadline has not been met and Gordon is about to lose his rag when...
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Ten o'clock on the dot!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52..Kimberley makes her entrance.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I'll call that 10 o'clock on the dot.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57So will I. I got a taxi home.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Good lassies do what they're told.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I'm knackered.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22See, I'm telling you, stop running about with them.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24No, I only came home, because...
0:06:24 > 0:06:27For the moment, Gordon and Annie have managed to keep a lid on Kimberley's partying.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28What?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32But they're about to face a much bigger challenge,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35as their eldest son is due in court.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Single mum Kay lives in the scheme with her two daughters,
0:06:52 > 0:06:5415-year-old Candice and five-year-old Kendal.
0:06:56 > 0:07:02Kay recently lost her father and two months ago she took in 17-year-old Jenna, who was homeless.
0:07:04 > 0:07:10This is the living room area. Kay, Candice, Kendal and Gary.
0:07:10 > 0:07:17This used to be Kay's papa's room, so it did. But he's dead now, so nobody really uses this room.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21So, we just come in and out when we want.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25This room was done up, but then Kay wanted to redecorate
0:07:25 > 0:07:29and she gave us the loft room, so this room's not really done yet.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31And this is our room. It's a pure mess.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36This is where me and Candice sleep up here.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Here's Kendal coming, the witch.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40I don't like her being crabbit.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44You're a wee lying shite. I'm no' really crabbit.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45I am with her sometimes.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49When she's crabbit, I don't like her like that.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52She's waking us up and jumping about and I'm like, "Kendal, move!"
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Cos I had been drinking and that the night before
0:07:55 > 0:07:58and I'm like, "Fuck off!", wasn't I?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01They've kind of brought me into their family and made me feel
0:08:01 > 0:08:03wanted and that.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06I don't know, it's just good.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10I've no' had an easy upbringing and I know what it's like, do you know what I mean?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I just couldn't turn folk away, because it's a cry for help.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16And I'd help anybody. I would.
0:08:18 > 0:08:24As well as Jenna, Kay has also taken in Gary, who is homeless and battling a drink addiction.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I was drinking and partying last night, man.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I'm rough as a dog.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I got to get a bath and that.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38He was a cry for help, he was. He was trying to commit suicide
0:08:38 > 0:08:43and all that. So, helped him. Detoxed him, the now.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Not long after her dad passed away,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Kay was dealt a second blow
0:08:48 > 0:08:51when she lost her job working in a food factory.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Lazy, lazy lassie.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Despite their problems, Kay is determined to help Gary and Jenna
0:09:08 > 0:09:12and thinks bringing them into her family is the answer.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Kendal, how old are you?
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Five.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24I think I was in foster care when I was five, when my mum and dad were in rehab.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29I had post-natal depression after Kendal was born and I was really bad.
0:09:29 > 0:09:35I just didn't want to be here, so I understand what they're going through, do you know what I mean?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39It's just thinking positive and getting on with it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I'm a lot fresher now!
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Every job I get I lose through the drink and then
0:10:02 > 0:10:05going to parties all weekend and then I can't make it on the Monday.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Going to try and get something else sorted out to stay,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11cos it's no' fair on Kay, me being here with all my problems,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14ken, after her dad just died. It's no' really fair on the woman.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19She's too nice a woman to do that to. Me here with my drinking all the time.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Aye, I'll get there, I will get there.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Just through time, you know what I mean?
0:10:29 > 0:10:36However, Kay's desire to help Gary and Jenna could have big implications for her own family.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Marvin's dreams of becoming a family man are one step closer,
0:10:50 > 0:10:54as he has been reunited with his ex-girlfriend Dayna, who has just got out of prison.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Dayna has been released early with an electronic tag.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Marvin is keen to introduce Dayna to Bullet...
0:11:05 > 0:11:06DAYNA: Bullet!
0:11:06 > 0:11:11..but after a long wait, Bullet has his own welcome surprise.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Hello, what have you been doing?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Uh-oh. He's done a wee poo-poo.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Come on and see me. Did you miss me?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22You're peeing with excitement, all over Daddy.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Bullet has had more time inside than he can handle,
0:11:26 > 0:11:30but Dayna is keen to prove her worth and clean the boys up...
0:11:31 > 0:11:34..which could prove to be quite a challenge.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- HORN TOOTS - Where's the van?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Where's the van, Shorty? Someone's kicked my fence down.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44This is a lovely neighbourhood, isn't it?
0:11:44 > 0:11:50As you can see, he needs a lady in the house, cos he's a lazy bam.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53He looks after himself and his dog.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57He feeds the dog more than he does himself, anyway.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04Dayna's been released from prison on the tag and is now using methadone to control her heroin addiction.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Marvin is trying to stay away from heroin, but getting involved with
0:12:10 > 0:12:14someone still struggling with drugs is a big risk for an ex-addict.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25It's a big day for Gordon and Annie.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Their son Bryan is due in court today
0:12:30 > 0:12:34after he was charged for a breach of the peace in the scheme.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Today's trial might be the final straw that separates him from his new family.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Who's this? Say "Papa."
0:12:41 > 0:12:46Who's your dad? Shout, "Dad". Say, "Papa".
0:12:46 > 0:12:48He was warned not to get into any more trouble
0:12:48 > 0:12:53- with the last seven charges. That was his last chance.- Fear the worst.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Bryan's never once had a charge in his life when he's sober.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01It's all drink-related. The same as Christopher.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Every charge has been drink-related.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16But there's a letter in saying I've had post-natal depression and that.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20So, I'll just need to wait and see.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Dad Gordon knows how jail works and in case Bryan is locked up,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29advises him on how to carry in tobacco.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50After mending their ways, Gordon and Annie have managed to keep their own family out of trouble.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54But it looks as if Bryan may now be about to follow in his father's footsteps.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- What are you doing? - Cutting the grass.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Look, all that grass.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17At Kay's house, Gary is on the move.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Don't say it in front of him.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21He doesn't know he's moving out.
0:14:24 > 0:14:30Because my mummy says he's moving out and he's doing my mummy's head in. He's saying stuff.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34"I'm going to take this car away" and "I'm going to buy shopping,"
0:14:34 > 0:14:35and then he doesn't.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38He doesn't come back with the shopping.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42He just goes away. And doesn't come back.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46That's why my mum's sending him out.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53Kay's oldest daughter Candice isn't happy with the way Gary's been behaving and has told her mum.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Kay thinks Gary is taking advantage of her help and has asked him to leave.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I feel...terrible.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I tried to help him, but no.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11But Candice told me last night, "It's either him or me."
0:15:11 > 0:15:15So she's my lassie, so it's definitely her.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Making a fool of my mum. - Piece, please!
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Gary is now homeless again.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Supposedly my own fault, but I don't know.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I ain't got a clue, my man.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Although he's never been convicted, Bryan is no stranger to court.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Today, he's facing charges relating to a breach of the peace
0:16:03 > 0:16:06in the scheme, after he got drunk, took Valium
0:16:06 > 0:16:11and stumbled into the local Post Office, where a racially-aggravated disagreement occurred.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Are they going to see the lawyer?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18He'd had so many chances. He just keeps getting out by the skin of his teeth, every single time.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24The lawyer keeps saying he's on his last chance.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Well, that's seven charges, the lawyer goes, "That's you.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30"Nae mare chances left." And it's coming up on Christmas and New Year.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34And then he goes and does that a fortnight ago, gets done with a racial.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40So, I don't think a lot of things are going to look good the day at all.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47In case they get sent to prison.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I just hate the thought of them going to prison.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Round at Kay's, Gary has been moved on,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01but his spot has already been taken by Lisa and her little boy.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06She's just been evicted, after complaints from
0:17:06 > 0:17:10her neighbours about the noise from partying and constant arguments.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12This is all I could fit in here.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16There's the bed, the telly and the mirror. That was it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Everything else is in my mum's bit.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20This is my wee boy, Jarryd. He'll be three in July.
0:17:20 > 0:17:26What happened to your daddy's foot? Did he stamp on your mum's charger?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29What did we say? "Ha-ha!
0:17:29 > 0:17:30"That's what you get
0:17:30 > 0:17:32"for wrecking our wee house."
0:17:32 > 0:17:38Another one in. Lisa's dead nice. She's no' on drugs or anything, do you know what I mean?
0:17:38 > 0:17:45She's just... She's been through a lot, she's depressed and all the rest of it, but, aye.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50Kay may have given up on Gary, but she's still determined to help Jenna and Lisa.
0:17:53 > 0:17:59Back at court, Bryan's social reports about his attitude have not been that positive.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Saying he's got a high risk of re-offending.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22High risk of no' doing the community.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26He says he'll do my best, but six to eight months, that's with a third off.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31A year for that and a year for the racism.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43The only good thing he's got going for him is he's went for the reports,
0:18:43 > 0:18:48he's turned up at the court, he's not got into any trouble, he's never been back near the shop.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50That's the only good things he's got going.
0:18:50 > 0:18:56It looks as if Bryan is likely to face two years behind bars
0:18:56 > 0:18:59and Gordon can't face it.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I wasn't going to go back in.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04This is hurting me now, know what I mean?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14The tears are starting to come to me, know what I mean?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Knowing that he's going to get the jail.
0:19:58 > 0:20:04Kay has told Lisa that she can stay for as long as she needs to, to get back on her feet.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11She's brilliant.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- She would do anything for anybody. - I try.
0:20:14 > 0:20:21- No, you don't try, you do. She's brilliant, man.- Aw!
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Lisa has not only had to deal with a break-up,
0:20:26 > 0:20:31but she's also had to make a heart-breaking decision, having just fallen pregnant.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35I'm just thinking about my wee boy at the end of the day.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I've not even got a steady home.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I wouldn't bring another wean into this world, ken what I mean,
0:20:40 > 0:20:44knowing that I've nae support with the wean that I've already got,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47never mind bringing another into the world, ken what I mean?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49It's stupid anyway, getting pregnant.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54But it's all by with now.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Bryan's case has just been heard.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13He got eight months. They gave him 12 months and reduced it to eight month for pleading guilty.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29I thought he was going to let him out, ken the way the lawyer spoke great for him.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34But he says there comes a time when, because it's racial,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07He gave him the whack for it.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09He gave him the full whack.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Gave him 12 month, four month off.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Cos he pled guilty, straightaway, you know.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23He'll do four out it.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Bullet, Marvin and Dayna are getting on like a house on fire
0:22:49 > 0:22:51and Marvin has asked her to move in.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Love, it seems, is in the air.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Happy as Larry.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Could not be happier. Could not be happier.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Dayna's moving in.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Getting the tag changed today.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Didn't even have to do a
0:23:11 > 0:23:16report at the house, they were happy enough with just the written report.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Just need to put messages in, going down to my gran's,
0:23:19 > 0:23:23phone them, saying I'm unplugging it and taking it back up and plug it in.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Then they come and fix it.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30- Then that's me and him livin' together!- I'm a wanted man!
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- Forever.- Forever and ever.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Guess who done the dishes? Moi!
0:23:36 > 0:23:41She done the kitchen and I hoovered about, washed floors and what not.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Two of us are over the moon. That's the best news I've had
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- in a long long, long, long, long time, so it is.- Me, too.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Now I can snuggle up to him at night.
0:23:51 > 0:23:58Both of us want it. We've just got what we wanted, so we have.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Everything's just fell into place perfect.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- And we're just made for one another. - So we are.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I love her to bits, so I do.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Two's company...
0:24:11 > 0:24:14..but three may be a crowd.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23Back at their house, Gordon and Annie are blaming themselves for Bryan's situation.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28I know it's a few years ago, but when we were fighting all the time, when we were drunk,
0:24:28 > 0:24:33Bryan used to get into states, screaming the place down and everything.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36He was quite nervous, Bryan, when he was wee.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Just all through us drinking and fighting all the time.
0:24:40 > 0:24:46Gordon was in a care institution from five to 16 and then moved straight into a life in jail.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51He's devastated that he can't stop his own children repeating the cycle.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I just don't want him to have the life I had.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02He's heading that way, isn't he?
0:25:02 > 0:25:07You can make life hard for yourself when you're in the jail, or you can make life easy for yourself.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11I don't know what way it will swing with him,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29When you rebel, you're going to suffer all your sentence,
0:25:29 > 0:25:33you know what I mean? I took the easy way.
0:25:35 > 0:25:42With one son already in jail, Annie is now even more worried about her 20-year-old son Chris.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44What are you doing in your life?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47What does everybody else do in their life?
0:25:47 > 0:25:52- What do you do?- Go out, obviously, hang about, drink.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- What else?- That's it.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- You take drugs and all.- What?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02What do you mean, "What?"
0:26:02 > 0:26:05And then we're all to lie and worry to death about you.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07He thinks it's all a laugh.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11He's doing it for, he says, "It's so as they'll just get
0:26:11 > 0:26:13"a buzz and get a laugh", him and all his pals.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17He thinks it's funny.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Round at Kay's, it's school time.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Lisa, my mum wants you.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Kendal has to be there by nine.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Normally, Jenna helps Kendal get ready for school.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Is Jenna up?
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- No. - Go and get her, tell her to get up. You're going to be late, hurry up.
0:26:54 > 0:27:00- No.- Aye.- I've got a sore head.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- Who stole my lighter?- Jenna!
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- What?- Lighter!
0:27:07 > 0:27:09PHONE RINGS
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Well, some cunt's got it.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16They're all kidding on they're sleeping, aren't they?
0:27:16 > 0:27:20No! I'm no' feeling well!
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Aw, your bum. Hurry up. - Get that wean to school.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Look at you, you could be ready by now. Move!
0:27:28 > 0:27:33Kay's eldest daughter Candice is also due in school,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35who are calling to check she's coming in.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40- Candice!- What?- Phone!
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Upstairs, Candice has decided to bump her school exam
0:27:44 > 0:27:49and stay in with her boyfriend, Gordon and Annie's son, Chris.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52She's no' well. She can't go to the exam.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- Is she no' well?- No.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58She has to get a doctor's line? Thank you. Bye.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- She needs a doctor's line.- Why?
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Because she's not sitting her exam.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08She doesn't want to do that exam. It's too hard.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- She's no' even tried it. - Cos she's not good at the subject.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- What one is it? French?- History.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18History. Kendal, come on and get your jacket.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- Cereal.- Cereal?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Well, eat them fast, right?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I like to eat them slowly.
0:28:25 > 0:28:32My papa died. He's in that box. His ashes are in it.
0:28:32 > 0:28:38Look, they're heavy as anything, like...that hamster cage.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Don't even eat the rest.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Hurry up, then!
0:28:46 > 0:28:48We're away!
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Bye.- I have to tell my mum something.- No, you don't.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55- Yes, I do!- Move. Hurry up.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Kendal and Jenna are off to school, which is a good thing
0:29:00 > 0:29:04as they will miss the police, who are about to pay Kay's house a visit.
0:29:12 > 0:29:17Marvin has been robbed and his £700 TV and Playstation stolen.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21He's already heard on the grapevine it's an old friend who's to blame.
0:29:43 > 0:29:44BARKING
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Clever boy, clever boy.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Ah-ah. Bullet!
0:29:50 > 0:29:52There are rumours in the scheme
0:29:52 > 0:29:55that Marvin has started selling drugs. Bullet has had enough.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Bullet! Where did he go there?
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Marvin does eventually catch up with Bullet, only for the police
0:30:02 > 0:30:06to catch up with him, with 310 diazepam in his pockets.
0:30:08 > 0:30:13Jenna normally helps Kay out by making sure she gets Kendal safely to school.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- Hey, car, car. - Kendal always sleeps in.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19No, you're meant to be in your class for nine.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23No, in the playground for nine.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Naw, naw, you've to be in the playground for five to nine.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29What time is it? I don't know. 20 past or something.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30They'll phone the Board.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Better 20 minutes late than never.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38But back at the house, the police have arrived with Gary in custody,
0:30:38 > 0:30:41as last night his car was spotted at the scene of a smash and grab.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Gary has told the police he still lives at Kay's and was in all last night,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48even though Kay threw him out days ago.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52The police have come to check Gary's alibi.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Upstairs, Candice's boyfriend Chris thinks its him who the police
0:30:59 > 0:31:01are after and decides to make a run for it.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43Chris gets away and downstairs Gary is sticking to his story.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58Gary's no' been here all night. I don't know what's happened.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01But we're to say to the police that he has been here.
0:32:02 > 0:32:08Cos he goes like that to me mam, winked at my mam and goes,
0:32:08 > 0:32:12"The police are just checking that I've been here all night, cos something's happened."
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- Chrissy?- He's away.
0:32:14 > 0:32:20The police have finished interviewing Kay and Gary is taken away for more questioning.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26I feel dead bad sticking up for Gary.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Gary wasn't even here and I told the police he was here.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32You'll no' get the blame of that, by the way.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36No, it wasn't you, you were in here.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38But there's worse news for Kay,
0:32:38 > 0:32:42as the eyewitness has given a description of a girl in the car
0:32:42 > 0:32:45with Gary that could be her eldest daughter Candice.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I was in my bed with Chrissy all night.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Her and Chrissy was in here all night.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53I swear to God they were.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55They were up in the loft the full night.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58I was lying in my bed watching Fatal Attraction.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Remember, I kept coming down for fags?
0:33:01 > 0:33:03He's getting the blame of it.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05I wasn't even in the car, I was away.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10That's how I got out the car and ran away. I could hear a hammering and like smash-smash.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15It wasn't actually Candice in the car last night.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Jenna was the one with Gary,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21although she wasn't involved in any criminal activity.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Despite her good intentions, Kay and her family are getting
0:33:33 > 0:33:37drawn into the chaotic lives of the people she's trying to help.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52A month on, Gordon and Annie are now helping to look after
0:33:52 > 0:33:55their son Bryan's boy while he's in jail.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00But it's their son Chris who's now in big trouble over drugs,
0:34:00 > 0:34:02although not with the police.
0:34:07 > 0:34:14A drug dealer give him it to sell, so Christopher snorted about £400 worth that night that he got it.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16They threatened to slash him last night.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20- What's happened?- Christopher. - What about?- About the debt.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Thinks he's Jack The Lad. Just a wee boy.
0:34:24 > 0:34:30That's exactly what he is and he knows that now, cos he phoned me last night.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33And we'll need to get the debt paid.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37He wasn't caring so much last night, with drink in him.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41He was drinking. He was going, "Oh, fuck 'em," and all this.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44"Who cares? They're no' slashing me," and everything.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47It's sounding serious.
0:34:47 > 0:34:52He's worried this morning, because the fella's phoned him from the pub this morning.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55"Where are you, you wee bastard? I'm going to do you in."
0:34:55 > 0:34:57So Christopher's hiding out the road.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06Chris is actually hiding out in Kay's house.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Honestly, see the cunt, I'll punch his daft fat heid in.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Honestly.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21He's a big fuckin' maniac, but I'll punch his heid in.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25- So you will! - It's no' him, it's his cronies.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Chris may be from a well-known family in the scheme,
0:35:40 > 0:35:46but Gordon and Annie may not be able to protect him when it comes to owing money to drug dealers.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Lots of stuff.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11He's a daftie for doing it.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Marvin is out on bail, having been caught with his pocket full of diazepam.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31His family is expanding, as Dayna has taken on her mum's dog.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35She's nine now, nearly ten.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38That's my mum's life, but cos my mum's not got a settled place now,
0:36:38 > 0:36:42just going to keep her until she gets a settled place.
0:36:47 > 0:36:53Unexpectedly, Marvin has decided to take on all the housework.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Dayna normally does it, but not lately,
0:36:55 > 0:36:59because she's just found out she's pregnant.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03So I've been doing it all myself.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05Left to do it on my tod!
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Found out I was pregnant and that's it.
0:37:14 > 0:37:21Happy, but no, I'm only 18 and I love Marvin to bits,
0:37:21 > 0:37:26but it's not been the same as it used to be.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30It's not been the same how it was.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37I don't believe in getting rid of a wean, so I'll keep it.
0:37:38 > 0:37:44Dayna may be having doubts, but Marvin's dreams of becoming a family man are on track.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47I don't want to be too old by the time, I...
0:37:47 > 0:37:49I want to be able to take the wean out and learn it
0:37:49 > 0:37:52to go a bike and that before I'm much older.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56I want to still be fit enough to go out and play, if it's a wee boy, play football with it.
0:38:09 > 0:38:14Since Gordon lost his job as a fork-lift driver six months ago, money has been tight.
0:38:14 > 0:38:19But he knows that drug dealers don't muck around when it comes to collecting what they're owed.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24The guy went into Kay's house and Chris has had to run out
0:38:24 > 0:38:29with his bare socks and run right down to another place.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33That night, he phoned me and asked for £30.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38I took the £30 up to him, one of my better pals was in there,
0:38:38 > 0:38:42and he said, "Don't worry about it, the debt will be dropped."
0:38:42 > 0:38:45It got dropped to £100.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50So, he's only getting another £60 and that's him. That's it paid.
0:38:50 > 0:38:56Gordon and Annie have kept their 16-year-old daughter Kimberley away from drugs and into dancing.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Dancing's a big, big, big part of my life.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00I love it.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05It keeps me off the streets and in trophies!
0:39:06 > 0:39:12For my costumes, cos I'm in a higher grade, it's like they start from like £300,
0:39:12 > 0:39:16right up to over £1,000, some people pay.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21The last one I got was 320, but that was second-hand.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24It's your appearance. They judge on appearance as well.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28It's dead bitchy. They're all dead competitive with each other
0:39:28 > 0:39:33and it's dear and it's hard for my mum, but I told her I can't quit!
0:39:39 > 0:39:45Lisa and Jarryd have been staying with Kay for over a month and Lisa is piecing her life back together.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55With Kay's help, Lisa is getting back on her own feet.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Jarryd, you going to nursery?
0:39:58 > 0:40:03- And then me and Kay is going down the town. What are we doing, Kay? - Spending money.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15A month after Kay asked him to leave, because he was struggling with drink,
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Gary has finally managed to get his own flat.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24I've been flung out of hostels, staying up at Kay's, then flung
0:40:24 > 0:40:28out of there, back on the streets, then here, there and everywhere.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29And then back at my mum's,
0:40:29 > 0:40:32then I eventually got this house, ken what I mean?
0:40:32 > 0:40:34So, I'm doing all right, pal.
0:40:35 > 0:40:42Even though he's just been beaten up and stabbed because of drugs, Gary still talks a good game.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46I still dabble and that,
0:40:46 > 0:40:48but nothing serious.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52I'm no' on drugs.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53Ken, I've no' got a habit or that.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56But, no, I should be all right.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Just, no... I'm all right, honestly, aye.
0:41:09 > 0:41:14Without Kay's help, Lisa would have been homeless and her only option would have been a hostel,
0:41:14 > 0:41:17where she would have been separated from Jarryd.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18Hiya. Are you back?
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Eh? To see all your wee friends?
0:41:23 > 0:41:26The first time I've saw him going in there.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31So it is. Cos I've been no' well.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37He'll calm down in five minutes, but it's a wee bit hard leaving.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Marvin and Bullet have been in the wars.
0:41:48 > 0:41:56Marvin has not been able to avoid drugs and has had a seizure after taking diazepam.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58I've no' got a clue what happened.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01He was choking on sickness. Taking a fit.
0:42:01 > 0:42:06She's said it was lifting the bed and the bed was all pulled out at the bottom this morning.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10I can't remember. The last thing I remember is going like that, putting my eyes up.
0:42:10 > 0:42:15The wee blood vessels round about my pupils are all bust.
0:42:15 > 0:42:21Feel like shit, man. I mean, the ambulance came, the police came straight after it and just walked in
0:42:21 > 0:42:25and Bullet got out and away. He's done something to his paw. Come on, here!
0:42:25 > 0:42:30What's this, Bullet? What's wrong with your paw?
0:42:30 > 0:42:34It must be the bone. It's not the bottom bit that's hurting him. Must be the bone.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39Marvin has a court date coming up for possession of the diazepam
0:42:39 > 0:42:43he was caught with, which may blow his plans of building a family.
0:42:53 > 0:42:58Annie and Gordon are desperate to keep Kimberley away from drugs
0:42:58 > 0:43:00and away from trouble.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03She could be doing anything just now, like bad things,
0:43:03 > 0:43:05if she didn't go to dancing.
0:43:05 > 0:43:10So dancing keeps her occupied and she goes so many nights a week.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Then she's got her competitions.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18Other times she goes swimming and things like that.
0:43:18 > 0:43:23I complain about the price of the dancing and the suits and everything,
0:43:23 > 0:43:27but it's keeping her away from a lot of bad stuff as well.
0:43:27 > 0:43:28I'm quite happy about that.
0:43:30 > 0:43:34Kimberley is training hard for a big annual dance competition in two weeks' time.
0:43:44 > 0:43:49This week, there's private lessons, one-to-one private lessons, and then we'll go to our classes all week
0:43:49 > 0:43:52and then we just turn up at the comp, turn up and meet each other.
0:43:52 > 0:43:56- Then you just go up and get ready, get your make-up and that done.- Oh!
0:43:56 > 0:44:00Sometimes you don't feel it, but sometimes it's sore.
0:44:00 > 0:44:01One, two, three, go.
0:44:13 > 0:44:16There's been more trouble round at Kay's.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19She had to call the police in the early hours
0:44:19 > 0:44:24after Candice's boyfriend Chris came round drunk and Kay wouldn't let him in.
0:44:24 > 0:44:28Last night Chris came to the door wanting Candice at two o'clock
0:44:28 > 0:44:31this morning, and I says, "Look, she's sleeping."
0:44:31 > 0:44:32I never went to the door,
0:44:32 > 0:44:36I just went to the front window and he just gave me a mouthful of cheek
0:44:36 > 0:44:41and then he kicked the wing mirror off my motor and Scott just run round
0:44:41 > 0:44:45with the bottle of Buckfast, hit the back window and just ran away.
0:44:45 > 0:44:49And then he phoned and he said we were all getting stabbed.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53Glass everywhere and Buckfast all over the motor.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56Stories going about that I want to go with other folk.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58It's just stupid jealousy. It's lies.
0:44:58 > 0:45:02I don't know, I phoned the police, but I don't know what's going to happen.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04It's his word against mine, more or less.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07It's no' really a kind of thing you want to do - grass.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10But it's got to be done.
0:45:10 > 0:45:15I had weans in my house. I didn't know if he was going to come back and do my windows or whatever.
0:45:15 > 0:45:19I told him to move, I've got weans in my house, but he didn't listen.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23His dad is really the only one that could stop him.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26He thinks he's a gangster and he's no'.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29He's just a silly wee boy, just needing to grow up.
0:45:31 > 0:45:35He goes, "Aye, I smashed her car up. She's a whore," and all that.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37They're far too cheeky, the two of them.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42Chris is unrepentant and not planning to apologise.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48He thinks that they can all just go to a woman's house
0:45:48 > 0:45:52and nothing's to be said. She's got a wean in that house.
0:46:20 > 0:46:25Marvin and Dayna have had a bust-up in town and Marvin has been kept in the cells for the weekend.
0:46:28 > 0:46:32He kneed me in the stomach, but I don't think he meant it.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35And then
0:46:35 > 0:46:39he flung my bag down and flung my purse down
0:46:39 > 0:46:43and then he took the money out of it, so I jumped on the bus that he was on
0:46:43 > 0:46:47and then the police came and we were arguing still
0:46:47 > 0:46:49and he...
0:46:49 > 0:46:53got lifted with a domestic,
0:46:53 > 0:46:57but I didn't press charges - they asked me, cos it was on CCTV,
0:46:57 > 0:47:01him kneeing me in the stomach.
0:47:01 > 0:47:05I don't know if him headbutting me will, because that was on the bus.
0:47:06 > 0:47:12When he gets out, he'll need to choose me or the blues.
0:47:12 > 0:47:18Cos he was on Valium when he hit me, when he kneed me in the stomach.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20And I'm pregnant and
0:47:20 > 0:47:23after it I couldn't walk.
0:47:23 > 0:47:28Dayna will now have the weekend to think things through,
0:47:28 > 0:47:30as Marvin will be out on Monday.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40Next week on The Scheme, another family
0:47:40 > 0:47:44lead the fight, against the odds, to re-open the old community centre.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47Once we get inside, I don't think we'll come back out!
0:47:48 > 0:47:50It's a sit-in!
0:47:50 > 0:47:52Kimberley goes for gold in her dancing...
0:47:55 > 0:47:57..while Gordon goes for a job.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59Usually, I wear a suit when I'm going to court!
0:47:59 > 0:48:02Kay snaps and is charged for an assault.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06Just spoke to me like a piece of shit more or less and I just attacked her.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09And Chris decides to visit Dayna while Marvin is in jail...
0:48:09 > 0:48:12with disastrous consequences.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14How are you no' going out there, the now?
0:48:14 > 0:48:18Stop shouting! Dayna, fuck off, man. I don't want to know.
