Happy as Larry. Could not be happier. Could not be happier.

0:00:030:00:07

This programme contains very strong language.

0:00:070:00:15

In a large housing scheme in Kilmarnock,

0:00:290:00:31

more than 1,000 families live in a mix of privately-owned and council houses.

0:00:310:00:36

A handful of those households agreed to be filmed over a year.

0:00:370:00:40

The Scheme follows some of their stories,

0:00:420:00:45

from star-struck lovers...

0:00:450:00:47

Happy as Larry. Could not be happier.

0:00:470:00:51

..to parents trying to keep their kids on the straight and narrow...

0:00:510:00:55

The tears are starting.

0:00:550:00:56

..and for people fighting for the community...

0:00:580:01:01

How do I think it went? A waste of fucking time.

0:01:010:01:03

..to those just struggling to keep their own families together.

0:01:030:01:07

"So, so sorry. And I'll love you forever and a day."

0:01:070:01:11

The Scheme charts the extraordinary and unpredictable ups...

0:01:120:01:15

Scariest thing I've ever done in my fucking life.

0:01:170:01:19

..and downs...

0:01:200:01:22

INDISTINCT

0:01:220:01:23

..of daily life for six very different households.

0:01:230:01:27

One of the most well-known families, with over 30 members living around the scheme, is the Cunninghams.

0:01:430:01:51

Five of them live on the top floor of one house.

0:01:510:01:53

-Don't argue, right?

-Fuck's sake, I'm never allowed to do nothin'!

-You're no' staying out.

0:01:530:01:57

Don't start shouting at me. You're no' staying out, right?

0:01:570:02:00

Ten o'clock, be in here for.

0:02:000:02:02

Watch me. No, I'm no' coming in at ten o'clock.

0:02:020:02:06

-<

-In at ten o'clock.

-Aye you are.

0:02:060:02:07

-I'm over 16, you cannae...

-I don't care.

0:02:070:02:10

-I'm no' being in for ten o'clock.

-Aye, you are.

0:02:100:02:12

No, I'm no'. No, cos naebody else goes in at ten o'clock, Ma.

0:02:120:02:15

-You'll no' sign out. Ten o'clock is long enough.

-Aye, aw right. Shut up!

0:02:150:02:20

As former heavy drinkers,

0:02:220:02:23

dad Gordon and mum Annie are desperate to keep

0:02:230:02:26

their youngest, Kimberley, on the straight and narrow.

0:02:260:02:29

Gordon spent many early years behind bars,

0:02:290:02:32

while Annie tried to bring up their five kids, two of whom live at home -

0:02:320:02:37

tearaway and all-round bad boy Chris

0:02:370:02:40

and 15-year-old Kimberley, who's celebrating leaving school.

0:02:400:02:43

There's a lot of stupid people out there.

0:02:570:03:00

There's too many things happening these days to be out that late.

0:03:000:03:04

There is dirty men out there.

0:03:040:03:06

See all the paedophiles come out of jail, this is where they all come, they come to Ayrshire.

0:03:060:03:11

I'm not saying they come to Kilmarnock, but there is a paedophile cult in Ayrshire.

0:03:110:03:16

As long as she's with somebody to walk home with at quarter to ten,

0:03:180:03:23

it doesn't bother me.

0:03:230:03:24

If she's not at that door, she'll hear me.

0:03:240:03:27

You heard the cheek of her, there.

0:03:270:03:30

Having turned their lives around, Gordon and Annie are desperate

0:03:300:03:33

to make sure history doesn't repeat itself with their own five kids.

0:03:330:03:37

Two of the most well-known characters in the scheme

0:03:500:03:53

are recovering drug addict Marvin and his dog Bullet.

0:03:530:03:55

Bullet Baird.

0:03:550:03:57

That's what everybody calls him, Bullet Baird.

0:03:580:04:01

I'm no' kidding. Everybody knows him, everybody.

0:04:020:04:05

People I don't even know know the dog.

0:04:050:04:08

I used to be in and out of prison constantly, from when I was 17 to I was 24.

0:04:080:04:14

And I've been out for the past five years, so I have.

0:04:140:04:17

Coming up on six year I've been out of trouble.

0:04:170:04:20

Since I've been off heroin,

0:04:200:04:22

just keeping myself to myself and since I got my accommodation.

0:04:220:04:26

I would like to meet the right person and then

0:04:260:04:30

after that I would like to get a job and just a family - just normality, just a bit of a normal living.

0:04:300:04:38

That's what I would like and for my mum and dad

0:04:380:04:41

not to have to worry about me.

0:04:410:04:43

And Bullet's the best friend I've got just now, so he is.

0:04:430:04:46

It's hard to find a decent friend nowadays, so it is.

0:04:470:04:51

What have you got?

0:04:530:04:54

Marvin may have Bullet, but what he really wants is to settle down

0:04:570:05:01

and have a family and he is looking forward

0:05:010:05:04

to a visit from an old girlfriend, once she gets out of prison.

0:05:040:05:08

With three minutes to go before daughter Kimberley's ten o'clock party deadline,

0:05:150:05:20

Gordon and Annie are beginning to worry that there's no sign of her.

0:05:200:05:25

She'd better be in here for ten o'clock.

0:05:250:05:27

No' make me look like a fool.

0:05:270:05:29

Know what I mean?

0:05:290:05:30

It's 57. Three minutes to ten o'clock.

0:05:310:05:34

At ten o'clock, there's still no sign of Kimberley.

0:05:370:05:40

She's no' answering her phone.

0:05:400:05:41

The deadline has not been met and Gordon is about to lose his rag when...

0:05:430:05:48

Ten o'clock on the dot!

0:05:480:05:49

..Kimberley makes her entrance.

0:05:490:05:52

I'll call that 10 o'clock on the dot.

0:05:520:05:54

So will I. I got a taxi home.

0:05:540:05:57

Good lassies do what they're told.

0:05:580:06:00

I'm knackered.

0:06:000:06:02

See, I'm telling you, stop running about with them.

0:06:190:06:22

No, I only came home, because...

0:06:220:06:24

For the moment, Gordon and Annie have managed to keep a lid on Kimberley's partying.

0:06:240:06:27

What?

0:06:270:06:28

But they're about to face a much bigger challenge,

0:06:280:06:32

as their eldest son is due in court.

0:06:320:06:35

Single mum Kay lives in the scheme with her two daughters,

0:06:480:06:52

15-year-old Candice and five-year-old Kendal.

0:06:520:06:54

Kay recently lost her father and two months ago she took in 17-year-old Jenna, who was homeless.

0:06:560:07:02

This is the living room area. Kay, Candice, Kendal and Gary.

0:07:040:07:10

This used to be Kay's papa's room, so it did. But he's dead now, so nobody really uses this room.

0:07:100:07:17

So, we just come in and out when we want.

0:07:170:07:21

This room was done up, but then Kay wanted to redecorate

0:07:210:07:25

and she gave us the loft room, so this room's not really done yet.

0:07:250:07:29

And this is our room. It's a pure mess.

0:07:290:07:31

This is where me and Candice sleep up here.

0:07:330:07:36

Here's Kendal coming, the witch.

0:07:360:07:39

I don't like her being crabbit.

0:07:390:07:40

You're a wee lying shite. I'm no' really crabbit.

0:07:420:07:44

I am with her sometimes.

0:07:440:07:45

When she's crabbit, I don't like her like that.

0:07:450:07:49

She's waking us up and jumping about and I'm like, "Kendal, move!"

0:07:490:07:52

Cos I had been drinking and that the night before

0:07:520:07:55

and I'm like, "Fuck off!", wasn't I?

0:07:550:07:58

They've kind of brought me into their family and made me feel

0:07:580:08:01

wanted and that.

0:08:010:08:03

I don't know, it's just good.

0:08:030:08:06

I've no' had an easy upbringing and I know what it's like, do you know what I mean?

0:08:060:08:10

I just couldn't turn folk away, because it's a cry for help.

0:08:100:08:13

And I'd help anybody. I would.

0:08:130:08:16

As well as Jenna, Kay has also taken in Gary, who is homeless and battling a drink addiction.

0:08:180:08:24

I was drinking and partying last night, man.

0:08:240:08:27

I'm rough as a dog.

0:08:290:08:31

I got to get a bath and that.

0:08:310:08:33

He was a cry for help, he was. He was trying to commit suicide

0:08:340:08:38

and all that. So, helped him. Detoxed him, the now.

0:08:380:08:43

Not long after her dad passed away,

0:08:440:08:46

Kay was dealt a second blow

0:08:460:08:48

when she lost her job working in a food factory.

0:08:480:08:51

Lazy, lazy lassie.

0:09:040:09:05

Despite their problems, Kay is determined to help Gary and Jenna

0:09:050:09:08

and thinks bringing them into her family is the answer.

0:09:080:09:12

Kendal, how old are you?

0:09:120:09:13

Five.

0:09:140:09:15

I think I was in foster care when I was five, when my mum and dad were in rehab.

0:09:190:09:24

I had post-natal depression after Kendal was born and I was really bad.

0:09:240:09:29

I just didn't want to be here, so I understand what they're going through, do you know what I mean?

0:09:290:09:35

It's just thinking positive and getting on with it.

0:09:360:09:39

I'm a lot fresher now!

0:09:390:09:41

Every job I get I lose through the drink and then

0:09:580:10:02

going to parties all weekend and then I can't make it on the Monday.

0:10:020:10:05

Going to try and get something else sorted out to stay,

0:10:050:10:08

cos it's no' fair on Kay, me being here with all my problems,

0:10:080:10:11

ken, after her dad just died. It's no' really fair on the woman.

0:10:110:10:14

She's too nice a woman to do that to. Me here with my drinking all the time.

0:10:140:10:19

Aye, I'll get there, I will get there.

0:10:210:10:23

Just through time, you know what I mean?

0:10:230:10:27

However, Kay's desire to help Gary and Jenna could have big implications for her own family.

0:10:290:10:36

Marvin's dreams of becoming a family man are one step closer,

0:10:470:10:50

as he has been reunited with his ex-girlfriend Dayna, who has just got out of prison.

0:10:500:10:54

Dayna has been released early with an electronic tag.

0:10:570:11:00

Marvin is keen to introduce Dayna to Bullet...

0:11:020:11:05

DAYNA: Bullet!

0:11:050:11:06

..but after a long wait, Bullet has his own welcome surprise.

0:11:060:11:11

Hello, what have you been doing?

0:11:110:11:13

Uh-oh. He's done a wee poo-poo.

0:11:130:11:16

Come on and see me. Did you miss me?

0:11:170:11:19

You're peeing with excitement, all over Daddy.

0:11:190:11:22

Bullet has had more time inside than he can handle,

0:11:220:11:26

but Dayna is keen to prove her worth and clean the boys up...

0:11:260:11:30

..which could prove to be quite a challenge.

0:11:310:11:34

-HORN TOOTS

-Where's the van?

0:11:350:11:37

Where's the van, Shorty? Someone's kicked my fence down.

0:11:370:11:41

This is a lovely neighbourhood, isn't it?

0:11:410:11:44

As you can see, he needs a lady in the house, cos he's a lazy bam.

0:11:440:11:50

He looks after himself and his dog.

0:11:500:11:53

He feeds the dog more than he does himself, anyway.

0:11:530:11:57

Dayna's been released from prison on the tag and is now using methadone to control her heroin addiction.

0:11:590:12:04

Marvin is trying to stay away from heroin, but getting involved with

0:12:060:12:10

someone still struggling with drugs is a big risk for an ex-addict.

0:12:100:12:14

It's a big day for Gordon and Annie.

0:12:230:12:25

Their son Bryan is due in court today

0:12:270:12:30

after he was charged for a breach of the peace in the scheme.

0:12:300:12:34

Today's trial might be the final straw that separates him from his new family.

0:12:340:12:38

Who's this? Say "Papa."

0:12:380:12:41

Who's your dad? Shout, "Dad". Say, "Papa".

0:12:410:12:46

He was warned not to get into any more trouble

0:12:460:12:48

-with the last seven charges. That was his last chance.

-Fear the worst.

0:12:480:12:53

Bryan's never once had a charge in his life when he's sober.

0:12:530:12:56

It's all drink-related. The same as Christopher.

0:12:560:13:01

Every charge has been drink-related.

0:13:010:13:03

But there's a letter in saying I've had post-natal depression and that.

0:13:120:13:16

So, I'll just need to wait and see.

0:13:160:13:20

Dad Gordon knows how jail works and in case Bryan is locked up,

0:13:210:13:25

advises him on how to carry in tobacco.

0:13:250:13:29

After mending their ways, Gordon and Annie have managed to keep their own family out of trouble.

0:13:450:13:50

But it looks as if Bryan may now be about to follow in his father's footsteps.

0:13:500:13:54

-What are you doing?

-Cutting the grass.

0:14:060:14:09

Look, all that grass.

0:14:100:14:13

At Kay's house, Gary is on the move.

0:14:130:14:17

Don't say it in front of him.

0:14:170:14:19

He doesn't know he's moving out.

0:14:190:14:21

Because my mummy says he's moving out and he's doing my mummy's head in. He's saying stuff.

0:14:240:14:30

"I'm going to take this car away" and "I'm going to buy shopping,"

0:14:300:14:34

and then he doesn't.

0:14:340:14:35

He doesn't come back with the shopping.

0:14:350:14:38

He just goes away. And doesn't come back.

0:14:380:14:42

That's why my mum's sending him out.

0:14:420:14:46

Kay's oldest daughter Candice isn't happy with the way Gary's been behaving and has told her mum.

0:14:480:14:53

Kay thinks Gary is taking advantage of her help and has asked him to leave.

0:14:550:14:59

I feel...terrible.

0:15:000:15:02

I tried to help him, but no.

0:15:030:15:06

But Candice told me last night, "It's either him or me."

0:15:080:15:11

So she's my lassie, so it's definitely her.

0:15:110:15:15

-Making a fool of my mum.

-Piece, please!

0:15:240:15:26

Gary is now homeless again.

0:15:260:15:29

Supposedly my own fault, but I don't know.

0:15:450:15:48

I ain't got a clue, my man.

0:15:490:15:51

Although he's never been convicted, Bryan is no stranger to court.

0:15:560:15:59

Today, he's facing charges relating to a breach of the peace

0:15:590:16:03

in the scheme, after he got drunk, took Valium

0:16:030:16:06

and stumbled into the local Post Office, where a racially-aggravated disagreement occurred.

0:16:060:16:11

Are they going to see the lawyer?

0:16:110:16:14

He'd had so many chances. He just keeps getting out by the skin of his teeth, every single time.

0:16:140:16:18

The lawyer keeps saying he's on his last chance.

0:16:210:16:24

Well, that's seven charges, the lawyer goes, "That's you.

0:16:240:16:27

"Nae mare chances left." And it's coming up on Christmas and New Year.

0:16:270:16:30

And then he goes and does that a fortnight ago, gets done with a racial.

0:16:300:16:34

So, I don't think a lot of things are going to look good the day at all.

0:16:360:16:40

In case they get sent to prison.

0:16:440:16:47

I just hate the thought of them going to prison.

0:16:470:16:49

Round at Kay's, Gary has been moved on,

0:16:540:16:57

but his spot has already been taken by Lisa and her little boy.

0:16:570:17:01

She's just been evicted, after complaints from

0:17:030:17:06

her neighbours about the noise from partying and constant arguments.

0:17:060:17:10

This is all I could fit in here.

0:17:100:17:12

There's the bed, the telly and the mirror. That was it.

0:17:120:17:16

Everything else is in my mum's bit.

0:17:160:17:17

This is my wee boy, Jarryd. He'll be three in July.

0:17:170:17:20

What happened to your daddy's foot? Did he stamp on your mum's charger?

0:17:200:17:26

What did we say? "Ha-ha!

0:17:270:17:29

"That's what you get

0:17:290:17:30

"for wrecking our wee house."

0:17:300:17:32

Another one in. Lisa's dead nice. She's no' on drugs or anything, do you know what I mean?

0:17:320:17:38

She's just... She's been through a lot, she's depressed and all the rest of it, but, aye.

0:17:380:17:45

Kay may have given up on Gary, but she's still determined to help Jenna and Lisa.

0:17:450:17:50

Back at court, Bryan's social reports about his attitude have not been that positive.

0:17:530:17:59

Saying he's got a high risk of re-offending.

0:18:150:18:17

High risk of no' doing the community.

0:18:170:18:22

He says he'll do my best, but six to eight months, that's with a third off.

0:18:220:18:26

A year for that and a year for the racism.

0:18:260:18:31

The only good thing he's got going for him is he's went for the reports,

0:18:400:18:43

he's turned up at the court, he's not got into any trouble, he's never been back near the shop.

0:18:430:18:48

That's the only good things he's got going.

0:18:480:18:50

It looks as if Bryan is likely to face two years behind bars

0:18:500:18:56

and Gordon can't face it.

0:18:560:18:59

I wasn't going to go back in.

0:18:590:19:01

This is hurting me now, know what I mean?

0:19:020:19:04

The tears are starting to come to me, know what I mean?

0:19:110:19:14

Knowing that he's going to get the jail.

0:19:150:19:17

Kay has told Lisa that she can stay for as long as she needs to, to get back on her feet.

0:19:580:20:04

She's brilliant.

0:20:100:20:11

-She would do anything for anybody.

-I try.

0:20:110:20:14

-No, you don't try, you do. She's brilliant, man.

-Aw!

0:20:140:20:21

Lisa has not only had to deal with a break-up,

0:20:230:20:26

but she's also had to make a heart-breaking decision, having just fallen pregnant.

0:20:260:20:31

I'm just thinking about my wee boy at the end of the day.

0:20:310:20:35

I've not even got a steady home.

0:20:350:20:37

I wouldn't bring another wean into this world, ken what I mean,

0:20:370:20:40

knowing that I've nae support with the wean that I've already got,

0:20:400:20:44

never mind bringing another into the world, ken what I mean?

0:20:440:20:47

It's stupid anyway, getting pregnant.

0:20:470:20:49

But it's all by with now.

0:20:520:20:54

Bryan's case has just been heard.

0:21:000:21:02

He got eight months. They gave him 12 months and reduced it to eight month for pleading guilty.

0:21:080:21:13

I thought he was going to let him out, ken the way the lawyer spoke great for him.

0:21:250:21:29

But he says there comes a time when, because it's racial,

0:21:290:21:34

He gave him the whack for it.

0:22:050:22:07

He gave him the full whack.

0:22:070:22:09

Gave him 12 month, four month off.

0:22:120:22:15

Cos he pled guilty, straightaway, you know.

0:22:160:22:19

He'll do four out it.

0:22:210:22:23

Bullet, Marvin and Dayna are getting on like a house on fire

0:22:450:22:49

and Marvin has asked her to move in.

0:22:490:22:51

Love, it seems, is in the air.

0:22:530:22:55

Happy as Larry.

0:22:580:22:59

Could not be happier. Could not be happier.

0:22:590:23:03

Dayna's moving in.

0:23:030:23:05

Getting the tag changed today.

0:23:060:23:08

Didn't even have to do a

0:23:090:23:11

report at the house, they were happy enough with just the written report.

0:23:110:23:16

Just need to put messages in, going down to my gran's,

0:23:160:23:19

phone them, saying I'm unplugging it and taking it back up and plug it in.

0:23:190:23:23

Then they come and fix it.

0:23:230:23:25

-Then that's me and him livin' together!

-I'm a wanted man!

0:23:250:23:30

-Forever.

-Forever and ever.

0:23:300:23:32

Guess who done the dishes? Moi!

0:23:320:23:35

She done the kitchen and I hoovered about, washed floors and what not.

0:23:360:23:41

Two of us are over the moon. That's the best news I've had

0:23:410:23:45

-in a long long, long, long, long time, so it is.

-Me, too.

0:23:450:23:48

Now I can snuggle up to him at night.

0:23:480:23:51

Both of us want it. We've just got what we wanted, so we have.

0:23:510:23:58

Everything's just fell into place perfect.

0:23:580:24:01

-And we're just made for one another.

-So we are.

0:24:010:24:03

I love her to bits, so I do.

0:24:030:24:05

Two's company...

0:24:080:24:10

..but three may be a crowd.

0:24:110:24:14

Back at their house, Gordon and Annie are blaming themselves for Bryan's situation.

0:24:180:24:23

I know it's a few years ago, but when we were fighting all the time, when we were drunk,

0:24:230:24:28

Bryan used to get into states, screaming the place down and everything.

0:24:280:24:33

He was quite nervous, Bryan, when he was wee.

0:24:330:24:36

Just all through us drinking and fighting all the time.

0:24:360:24:40

Gordon was in a care institution from five to 16 and then moved straight into a life in jail.

0:24:400:24:46

He's devastated that he can't stop his own children repeating the cycle.

0:24:460:24:51

I just don't want him to have the life I had.

0:24:510:24:53

He's heading that way, isn't he?

0:25:000:25:02

You can make life hard for yourself when you're in the jail, or you can make life easy for yourself.

0:25:020:25:07

I don't know what way it will swing with him,

0:25:070:25:11

When you rebel, you're going to suffer all your sentence,

0:25:260:25:29

you know what I mean? I took the easy way.

0:25:290:25:33

With one son already in jail, Annie is now even more worried about her 20-year-old son Chris.

0:25:350:25:42

What are you doing in your life?

0:25:420:25:44

What does everybody else do in their life?

0:25:440:25:47

-What do you do?

-Go out, obviously, hang about, drink.

0:25:470:25:52

-What else?

-That's it.

0:25:520:25:54

-You take drugs and all.

-What?

0:25:540:25:57

What do you mean, "What?"

0:25:590:26:02

And then we're all to lie and worry to death about you.

0:26:020:26:05

He thinks it's all a laugh.

0:26:050:26:07

He's doing it for, he says, "It's so as they'll just get

0:26:070:26:11

"a buzz and get a laugh", him and all his pals.

0:26:110:26:13

He thinks it's funny.

0:26:150:26:17

Round at Kay's, it's school time.

0:26:360:26:38

Lisa, my mum wants you.

0:26:380:26:40

Kendal has to be there by nine.

0:26:400:26:42

Normally, Jenna helps Kendal get ready for school.

0:26:450:26:48

Is Jenna up?

0:26:480:26:50

-No.

-Go and get her, tell her to get up. You're going to be late, hurry up.

0:26:500:26:54

-No.

-Aye.

-I've got a sore head.

0:26:540:27:00

-Who stole my lighter?

-Jenna!

0:27:010:27:05

-What?

-Lighter!

0:27:050:27:07

PHONE RINGS

0:27:070:27:09

Well, some cunt's got it.

0:27:090:27:13

They're all kidding on they're sleeping, aren't they?

0:27:130:27:16

No! I'm no' feeling well!

0:27:160:27:20

-Aw, your bum. Hurry up.

-Get that wean to school.

0:27:200:27:23

Look at you, you could be ready by now. Move!

0:27:250:27:28

Kay's eldest daughter Candice is also due in school,

0:27:280:27:33

who are calling to check she's coming in.

0:27:330:27:35

-Candice!

-What?

-Phone!

0:27:350:27:40

Upstairs, Candice has decided to bump her school exam

0:27:400:27:44

and stay in with her boyfriend, Gordon and Annie's son, Chris.

0:27:440:27:49

She's no' well. She can't go to the exam.

0:27:490:27:52

-Is she no' well?

-No.

0:27:520:27:54

She has to get a doctor's line? Thank you. Bye.

0:27:540:27:58

-She needs a doctor's line.

-Why?

0:28:000:28:03

Because she's not sitting her exam.

0:28:030:28:05

She doesn't want to do that exam. It's too hard.

0:28:050:28:08

-She's no' even tried it.

-Cos she's not good at the subject.

0:28:080:28:11

-What one is it? French?

-History.

0:28:110:28:14

History. Kendal, come on and get your jacket.

0:28:140:28:18

-Cereal.

-Cereal?

0:28:180:28:20

Well, eat them fast, right?

0:28:200:28:22

I like to eat them slowly.

0:28:230:28:25

My papa died. He's in that box. His ashes are in it.

0:28:250:28:32

Look, they're heavy as anything, like...that hamster cage.

0:28:320:28:38

Don't even eat the rest.

0:28:380:28:41

Hurry up, then!

0:28:410:28:43

We're away!

0:28:460:28:48

-Bye.

-I have to tell my mum something.

-No, you don't.

0:28:500:28:53

-Yes, I do!

-Move. Hurry up.

0:28:530:28:55

Kendal and Jenna are off to school, which is a good thing

0:28:560:29:00

as they will miss the police, who are about to pay Kay's house a visit.

0:29:000:29:04

Marvin has been robbed and his £700 TV and Playstation stolen.

0:29:120:29:17

He's already heard on the grapevine it's an old friend who's to blame.

0:29:170:29:21

BARKING

0:29:430:29:44

Clever boy, clever boy.

0:29:440:29:47

Ah-ah. Bullet!

0:29:490:29:50

There are rumours in the scheme

0:29:500:29:52

that Marvin has started selling drugs. Bullet has had enough.

0:29:520:29:55

Bullet! Where did he go there?

0:29:550:29:58

Marvin does eventually catch up with Bullet, only for the police

0:29:580:30:02

to catch up with him, with 310 diazepam in his pockets.

0:30:020:30:06

Jenna normally helps Kay out by making sure she gets Kendal safely to school.

0:30:080:30:13

-Hey, car, car.

-Kendal always sleeps in.

0:30:130:30:16

No, you're meant to be in your class for nine.

0:30:160:30:19

No, in the playground for nine.

0:30:190:30:23

Naw, naw, you've to be in the playground for five to nine.

0:30:230:30:26

What time is it? I don't know. 20 past or something.

0:30:260:30:29

They'll phone the Board.

0:30:290:30:30

Better 20 minutes late than never.

0:30:300:30:34

But back at the house, the police have arrived with Gary in custody,

0:30:340:30:38

as last night his car was spotted at the scene of a smash and grab.

0:30:380:30:41

Gary has told the police he still lives at Kay's and was in all last night,

0:30:420:30:46

even though Kay threw him out days ago.

0:30:460:30:48

The police have come to check Gary's alibi.

0:30:500:30:52

Upstairs, Candice's boyfriend Chris thinks its him who the police

0:30:560:30:59

are after and decides to make a run for it.

0:30:590:31:01

Chris gets away and downstairs Gary is sticking to his story.

0:31:380:31:43

Gary's no' been here all night. I don't know what's happened.

0:31:540:31:58

But we're to say to the police that he has been here.

0:31:580:32:01

Cos he goes like that to me mam, winked at my mam and goes,

0:32:020:32:08

"The police are just checking that I've been here all night, cos something's happened."

0:32:080:32:12

-Chrissy?

-He's away.

0:32:120:32:14

The police have finished interviewing Kay and Gary is taken away for more questioning.

0:32:140:32:20

I feel dead bad sticking up for Gary.

0:32:220:32:26

Gary wasn't even here and I told the police he was here.

0:32:260:32:29

You'll no' get the blame of that, by the way.

0:32:290:32:32

No, it wasn't you, you were in here.

0:32:330:32:36

But there's worse news for Kay,

0:32:360:32:38

as the eyewitness has given a description of a girl in the car

0:32:380:32:42

with Gary that could be her eldest daughter Candice.

0:32:420:32:45

I was in my bed with Chrissy all night.

0:32:450:32:48

Her and Chrissy was in here all night.

0:32:480:32:51

I swear to God they were.

0:32:510:32:53

They were up in the loft the full night.

0:32:530:32:55

I was lying in my bed watching Fatal Attraction.

0:32:550:32:58

Remember, I kept coming down for fags?

0:32:580:33:00

He's getting the blame of it.

0:33:010:33:03

I wasn't even in the car, I was away.

0:33:030:33:05

That's how I got out the car and ran away. I could hear a hammering and like smash-smash.

0:33:050:33:10

It wasn't actually Candice in the car last night.

0:33:120:33:15

Jenna was the one with Gary,

0:33:150:33:18

although she wasn't involved in any criminal activity.

0:33:180:33:21

Despite her good intentions, Kay and her family are getting

0:33:290:33:33

drawn into the chaotic lives of the people she's trying to help.

0:33:330:33:37

A month on, Gordon and Annie are now helping to look after

0:33:490:33:52

their son Bryan's boy while he's in jail.

0:33:520:33:55

But it's their son Chris who's now in big trouble over drugs,

0:33:560:34:00

although not with the police.

0:34:000:34:02

A drug dealer give him it to sell, so Christopher snorted about £400 worth that night that he got it.

0:34:070:34:14

They threatened to slash him last night.

0:34:140:34:16

-What's happened?

-Christopher.

-What about?

-About the debt.

0:34:160:34:20

Thinks he's Jack The Lad. Just a wee boy.

0:34:200:34:23

That's exactly what he is and he knows that now, cos he phoned me last night.

0:34:240:34:30

And we'll need to get the debt paid.

0:34:320:34:33

He wasn't caring so much last night, with drink in him.

0:34:330:34:37

He was drinking. He was going, "Oh, fuck 'em," and all this.

0:34:370:34:41

"Who cares? They're no' slashing me," and everything.

0:34:410:34:44

It's sounding serious.

0:34:440:34:47

He's worried this morning, because the fella's phoned him from the pub this morning.

0:34:470:34:52

"Where are you, you wee bastard? I'm going to do you in."

0:34:520:34:55

So Christopher's hiding out the road.

0:34:550:34:57

Chris is actually hiding out in Kay's house.

0:35:020:35:06

Honestly, see the cunt, I'll punch his daft fat heid in.

0:35:110:35:15

Honestly.

0:35:150:35:17

He's a big fuckin' maniac, but I'll punch his heid in.

0:35:170:35:21

-So you will!

-It's no' him, it's his cronies.

0:35:210:35:25

Chris may be from a well-known family in the scheme,

0:35:370:35:40

but Gordon and Annie may not be able to protect him when it comes to owing money to drug dealers.

0:35:400:35:46

Lots of stuff.

0:36:020:36:04

He's a daftie for doing it.

0:36:080:36:11

Marvin is out on bail, having been caught with his pocket full of diazepam.

0:36:190:36:23

His family is expanding, as Dayna has taken on her mum's dog.

0:36:270:36:31

She's nine now, nearly ten.

0:36:310:36:35

That's my mum's life, but cos my mum's not got a settled place now,

0:36:350:36:38

just going to keep her until she gets a settled place.

0:36:380:36:42

Unexpectedly, Marvin has decided to take on all the housework.

0:36:470:36:53

Dayna normally does it, but not lately,

0:36:530:36:55

because she's just found out she's pregnant.

0:36:550:36:59

So I've been doing it all myself.

0:37:010:37:03

Left to do it on my tod!

0:37:040:37:05

Found out I was pregnant and that's it.

0:37:100:37:12

Happy, but no, I'm only 18 and I love Marvin to bits,

0:37:140:37:21

but it's not been the same as it used to be.

0:37:210:37:26

It's not been the same how it was.

0:37:270:37:30

I don't believe in getting rid of a wean, so I'll keep it.

0:37:320:37:37

Dayna may be having doubts, but Marvin's dreams of becoming a family man are on track.

0:37:380:37:44

I don't want to be too old by the time, I...

0:37:440:37:47

I want to be able to take the wean out and learn it

0:37:470:37:49

to go a bike and that before I'm much older.

0:37:490:37:52

I want to still be fit enough to go out and play, if it's a wee boy, play football with it.

0:37:520:37:56

Since Gordon lost his job as a fork-lift driver six months ago, money has been tight.

0:38:090:38:14

But he knows that drug dealers don't muck around when it comes to collecting what they're owed.

0:38:140:38:19

The guy went into Kay's house and Chris has had to run out

0:38:210:38:24

with his bare socks and run right down to another place.

0:38:240:38:29

That night, he phoned me and asked for £30.

0:38:290:38:33

I took the £30 up to him, one of my better pals was in there,

0:38:340:38:38

and he said, "Don't worry about it, the debt will be dropped."

0:38:380:38:42

It got dropped to £100.

0:38:420:38:45

So, he's only getting another £60 and that's him. That's it paid.

0:38:450:38:50

Gordon and Annie have kept their 16-year-old daughter Kimberley away from drugs and into dancing.

0:38:500:38:56

Dancing's a big, big, big part of my life.

0:38:560:38:59

I love it.

0:38:590:39:00

It keeps me off the streets and in trophies!

0:39:000:39:05

For my costumes, cos I'm in a higher grade, it's like they start from like £300,

0:39:060:39:12

right up to over £1,000, some people pay.

0:39:120:39:16

The last one I got was 320, but that was second-hand.

0:39:160:39:21

It's your appearance. They judge on appearance as well.

0:39:210:39:24

It's dead bitchy. They're all dead competitive with each other

0:39:240:39:28

and it's dear and it's hard for my mum, but I told her I can't quit!

0:39:280:39:33

Lisa and Jarryd have been staying with Kay for over a month and Lisa is piecing her life back together.

0:39:390:39:45

With Kay's help, Lisa is getting back on her own feet.

0:39:510:39:55

Jarryd, you going to nursery?

0:39:550:39:57

-And then me and Kay is going down the town. What are we doing, Kay?

-Spending money.

0:39:580:40:03

A month after Kay asked him to leave, because he was struggling with drink,

0:40:110:40:15

Gary has finally managed to get his own flat.

0:40:150:40:17

I've been flung out of hostels, staying up at Kay's, then flung

0:40:190:40:24

out of there, back on the streets, then here, there and everywhere.

0:40:240:40:28

And then back at my mum's,

0:40:280:40:29

then I eventually got this house, ken what I mean?

0:40:290:40:32

So, I'm doing all right, pal.

0:40:320:40:34

Even though he's just been beaten up and stabbed because of drugs, Gary still talks a good game.

0:40:350:40:42

I still dabble and that,

0:40:440:40:46

but nothing serious.

0:40:460:40:48

I'm no' on drugs.

0:40:480:40:52

Ken, I've no' got a habit or that.

0:40:520:40:53

But, no, I should be all right.

0:40:530:40:56

Just, no... I'm all right, honestly, aye.

0:40:580:41:00

Without Kay's help, Lisa would have been homeless and her only option would have been a hostel,

0:41:090:41:14

where she would have been separated from Jarryd.

0:41:140:41:17

Hiya. Are you back?

0:41:170:41:18

Eh? To see all your wee friends?

0:41:210:41:23

The first time I've saw him going in there.

0:41:230:41:26

So it is. Cos I've been no' well.

0:41:280:41:31

He'll calm down in five minutes, but it's a wee bit hard leaving.

Marvin and Bullet have been in the wars.

0:41:460:41:48

Marvin has not been able to avoid drugs and has had a seizure after taking diazepam.

0:41:480:41:56

I've no' got a clue what happened.

0:41:560:41:58

He was choking on sickness. Taking a fit.

0:41:580:42:01

She's said it was lifting the bed and the bed was all pulled out at the bottom this morning.

0:42:010:42:06

I can't remember. The last thing I remember is going like that, putting my eyes up.

0:42:060:42:10

The wee blood vessels round about my pupils are all bust.

0:42:100:42:15

Feel like shit, man. I mean, the ambulance came, the police came straight after it and just walked in

0:42:150:42:21

and Bullet got out and away. He's done something to his paw. Come on, here!

0:42:210:42:25

What's this, Bullet? What's wrong with your paw?

0:42:250:42:30

It must be the bone. It's not the bottom bit that's hurting him. Must be the bone.

0:42:300:42:34

Marvin has a court date coming up for possession of the diazepam

0:42:350:42:39

he was caught with, which may blow his plans of building a family.

0:42:390:42:43

Annie and Gordon are desperate to keep Kimberley away from drugs

0:42:530:42:58

and away from trouble.

0:42:580:43:00

She could be doing anything just now, like bad things,

0:43:000:43:03

if she didn't go to dancing.

0:43:030:43:05

So dancing keeps her occupied and she goes so many nights a week.

0:43:050:43:10

Then she's got her competitions.

0:43:130:43:15

Other times she goes swimming and things like that.

0:43:150:43:18

I complain about the price of the dancing and the suits and everything,

0:43:180:43:23

but it's keeping her away from a lot of bad stuff as well.

0:43:230:43:27

I'm quite happy about that.

0:43:270:43:28

Kimberley is training hard for a big annual dance competition in two weeks' time.

0:43:300:43:34

This week, there's private lessons, one-to-one private lessons, and then we'll go to our classes all week

0:43:440:43:49

and then we just turn up at the comp, turn up and meet each other.

0:43:490:43:52

-Then you just go up and get ready, get your make-up and that done.

-Oh!

0:43:520:43:56

Sometimes you don't feel it, but sometimes it's sore.

0:43:560:44:00

One, two, three, go.

0:44:000:44:01

There's been more trouble round at Kay's.

0:44:130:44:16

She had to call the police in the early hours

0:44:160:44:19

after Candice's boyfriend Chris came round drunk and Kay wouldn't let him in.

0:44:190:44:24

Last night Chris came to the door wanting Candice at two o'clock

0:44:240:44:28

this morning, and I says, "Look, she's sleeping."

0:44:280:44:31

I never went to the door,

0:44:310:44:32

I just went to the front window and he just gave me a mouthful of cheek

0:44:320:44:36

and then he kicked the wing mirror off my motor and Scott just run round

0:44:360:44:41

with the bottle of Buckfast, hit the back window and just ran away.

0:44:410:44:45

And then he phoned and he said we were all getting stabbed.

0:44:450:44:49

Glass everywhere and Buckfast all over the motor.

0:44:500:44:53

Stories going about that I want to go with other folk.

0:44:530:44:56

It's just stupid jealousy. It's lies.

0:44:560:44:58

I don't know, I phoned the police, but I don't know what's going to happen.

0:44:580:45:02

It's his word against mine, more or less.

0:45:020:45:04

It's no' really a kind of thing you want to do - grass.

0:45:040:45:07

But it's got to be done.

0:45:080:45:10

I had weans in my house. I didn't know if he was going to come back and do my windows or whatever.

0:45:100:45:15

I told him to move, I've got weans in my house, but he didn't listen.

0:45:150:45:19

His dad is really the only one that could stop him.

0:45:190:45:23

He thinks he's a gangster and he's no'.

0:45:230:45:26

He's just a silly wee boy, just needing to grow up.

0:45:260:45:29

He goes, "Aye, I smashed her car up. She's a whore," and all that.

0:45:310:45:35

They're far too cheeky, the two of them.

0:45:350:45:37

Chris is unrepentant and not planning to apologise.

0:45:390:45:42

He thinks that they can all just go to a woman's house

0:45:450:45:48

and nothing's to be said. She's got a wean in that house.

0:45:480:45:52

Marvin and Dayna have had a bust-up in town and Marvin has been kept in the cells for the weekend.

0:46:200:46:25

He kneed me in the stomach, but I don't think he meant it.

0:46:280:46:32

And then

0:46:320:46:35

he flung my bag down and flung my purse down

0:46:350:46:39

and then he took the money out of it, so I jumped on the bus that he was on

0:46:390:46:43

and then the police came and we were arguing still

0:46:430:46:47

and he...

0:46:470:46:49

got lifted with a domestic,

0:46:490:46:53

but I didn't press charges - they asked me, cos it was on CCTV,

0:46:530:46:57

him kneeing me in the stomach.

0:46:570:47:01

I don't know if him headbutting me will, because that was on the bus.

0:47:010:47:05

When he gets out, he'll need to choose me or the blues.

0:47:060:47:12

Cos he was on Valium when he hit me, when he kneed me in the stomach.

0:47:120:47:18

And I'm pregnant and

0:47:180:47:20

after it I couldn't walk.

0:47:200:47:23

Dayna will now have the weekend to think things through,

0:47:230:47:28

as Marvin will be out on Monday.

0:47:280:47:30

Next week on The Scheme, another family

0:47:370:47:40

lead the fight, against the odds, to re-open the old community centre.

0:47:400:47:44

Once we get inside, I don't think we'll come back out!

0:47:440:47:47

It's a sit-in!

0:47:480:47:50

Kimberley goes for gold in her dancing...

0:47:500:47:52

..while Gordon goes for a job.

0:47:550:47:57

Usually, I wear a suit when I'm going to court!

0:47:570:47:59

Kay snaps and is charged for an assault.

0:47:590:48:02

Just spoke to me like a piece of shit more or less and I just attacked her.

0:48:020:48:06

And Chris decides to visit Dayna while Marvin is in jail...

0:48:060:48:09

with disastrous consequences.

0:48:090:48:12

How are you no' going out there, the now?

0:48:120:48:14

Stop shouting! Dayna, fuck off, man. I don't want to know.

0:48:140:48:18
