0:00:31 > 0:00:33KNOCKING
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hear me out. Please, Jim.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04I have made you Nigel Slater's hollandaise.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Let me help you fix these pillows.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12You don't have to fuss.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14You should still be in the hospital.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Like I said...
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Well, luckily you're in my hands then, aren't you?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Yes, because you're world famous for your nursing skills, aren't you?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- I may surprise you.- Hmmm.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27So, it is Joe's first day back at school
0:01:27 > 0:01:30and they're being surprisingly supportive.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Why are you being like this?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Uh-uh-uh! No jumping on Daddy today.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Can I eat breakfast here? - You know Mummy's rules.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Actually, I think that, today, yes, you can.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Because it is a very special day.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And I've got some blueberry pancakes for us downstairs
0:01:45 > 0:01:48and I might be able to find some maple syrup.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Hey.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Hey.- Ah, today's your big shopping trip, isn't it?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Um, I think it might be cancelled. Valerie's out on VPAS.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Have you not noticed the temp in reception?- Oh.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Hmm. Control that excitement, Sidders.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09It's not like Hollins is going to buy you a whole new wardrobe.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Oh, oh, wait... - Look, Karen's just being nice, OK?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15You're not even a teensy bit worried about what she's going to crowbar you into?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Well, um...
0:02:17 > 0:02:19My advice would be, as soon as you get there,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22steer her towards the handbags and then just run for the hills, man.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- That could work.- Of course,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- it doesn't help that you look like a Ken doll.- Huh? How do I?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- You know, your squishy, plastic head.- The six-pack.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33The blank patch where your genitals are supposed to be.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36THEY ALL LAUGH
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Hey, Sid, we should get cracking. - Uh, yeah, yeah. Erm...
0:02:40 > 0:02:42See you in a bit.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Have a great time!- Laters, Ken.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Hello!
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Yes?- I'm here to see Tess Bentham.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Valerie?- Oh...Tess.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Are you...off on holiday?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I forgot you were coming over.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Oh, well, if you've got ten minutes, I can make it really quick.- I can't.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Five minutes? We're really worried about your asthma.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Bye, Tess.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Uh... Have you just been evicted?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17TESS CLEARS HER THROAT
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Do you want me to go...? - It won't change nothing.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Well, let me help.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33How many navy shirts have you got?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Um...about five maybe. They're smart.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40And boring. Come. Come and see what I've got.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Ta-dah!- That? Really?
0:03:47 > 0:03:48You know sheer fabric's all the rage?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Yeah, but I just... I'm not sure that I'd feel comfortable in it.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54You do all that work down the gym and you don't want to show it off?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Woohoo!- It's not suitable for work, though, is it?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Well, it's not for patients, it's for pulling!
0:04:00 > 0:04:04OK, so I got this boiler suit thing...
0:04:04 > 0:04:06No? They're very on trend.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09OK, jumpers... I've got this.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10I don't know what it is.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I really appreciate your help. It's just
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I can't really see myself in any of this, to be honest.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Well, how about you dye your beard?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20They've got beard dye over by the till.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24We can really fancy that goatee up, you know, make it go green, or....
0:04:24 > 0:04:25You are kidding, right?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Yeah, you doughnut!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I heard you lot slagging me off in the staffroom.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Sorry.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Anyway, today is not about dressing you up like a doll.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Today is about having fun. Are you up for it?
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Yeah, course.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41I need to get Jack some stuff for Christmas, so...
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Yay! Sale rail! Brilliant.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- I could walk you to a friend's? - Nah, you're all right.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55What are you doing?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59You are not sleeping rough!
0:04:59 > 0:05:00I've done it before.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Well, that can't be very good for your asthma.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Tess, look, you've missed the clinic twice.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- We need to check your levels. - I'm alive, aren't I?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11That's not the point. What about your inhalers?
0:05:11 > 0:05:15I've still got one, and I don't need them all the time.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I'm not having a go. I'm just worried.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- It's freezing.- I'll be all right.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23If I don't make enough for a hostel, there's a squat I know.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24At least let me buy you lunch.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25I'm not some charity case!
0:05:25 > 0:05:28No, of course you're not. But...
0:05:28 > 0:05:29..if you're going to stay out here all day,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32you're going to need to get some hot food inside you.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34And I was going for a bite anyway.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Let me put a blanket down first.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40- I don't want to lose this spot.- OK.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Oh, wow, they're cool.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Yeah, er... I don't know if they'd really suit me.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52OK, so what about that?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Nah, too busy.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- That?- Too bright.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57OK.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Well, maybe I'll get that for Jack - it's 20% off.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01What have you got?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I was thinking something like this.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Ooh! I didn't have you down as a young fogey.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08All right. It's in fashion!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11It's something that Heston would wear!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Heston's smart. - He's in his fifties.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Oh, can you not choose something bright?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I don't know. I do need some socks.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Oh, great. Sock shopping.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Why don't we split up? Might get what we actually want.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Oh, OK. I thought I was helping, but apparently not.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30- No, you are, it's just... - No, no, no.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I'll see you back here in half an hour.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37They do pink milkshakes here.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Mum brought me once after school.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43I'm sorry to hear she passed away.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48Yeah, you and everyone. "Sorry for your loss!"
0:06:48 > 0:06:50That's all I heard last year.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51You say that like it's a bad thing.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55It's just words. Neighbours were all tears and sympathy.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57But when the bailiffs came, nobody said nothing.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Well, maybe your next neighbours will be nicer.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Yeah? And where will that be?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05The Student Union's got a list of landlords.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Should I pick you up a copy? - I don't have a deposit.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09What about family? Friends?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I used to have friends, at school.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14I ain't seen them in months.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Family?
0:07:16 > 0:07:17You don't let up, do you?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20No, I really am quite annoying. So?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Dad left, years back.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24And there's no-one else?
0:07:24 > 0:07:28I've got an aunt. I only found out about her after Mum died.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I was going through her things and there was this photo.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Long-lost family!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Did you introduce yourself?
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Nah. I mean, she's local. I've been to her house. It's nice.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- But I never knocked. - You should.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46She wouldn't care. She didn't even come to Mum's funeral.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Maybe she didn't know.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- You're doing my head in now. - Look, I'm only trying to help you.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53How?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57By talking to the Housing, trying to get you somewhere.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58And once you've had a good night's sleep,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01then maybe we can go and visit your aunt together.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02And why would you do all that?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Because it's my job. Kind of.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Look, you're one of those that's slipped through the cracks
0:08:09 > 0:08:11and that's what VPAS is all about.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12I thought it was for my asthma.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I think finding you somewhere to live is a priority, don't you think?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18You really are annoying, aren't you?
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Yeah. It's just one of my many skills.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25DOORBELL RINGS
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Hello? Only me!
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- SHE LAUGHS - What are you doing?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41You rang.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Oh, yeah. Just to let you know I was here.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Zara gave me the keys so I could pop in and change your dressing.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- Didn't she say?- Maybe. I was asleep.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- OK, well, let's get you back to bed. I'll take the bat.- Right.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56What is it about this girl?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59I just... When I read her notes, I thought about me.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Losing both parents, not a great education.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I was lucky - they left me the house. But she's got nothing.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11All the same, just remember to keep a professional distance.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Well, Mrs Tembe says there's also professional pride.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Can I go home at night and say, "I did a good job"?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Well, that's a good way of looking at things, I suppose. But...
0:09:20 > 0:09:23..don't beat yourself up if you don't succeed.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- That's when people give up. - No chance of that.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Wow. They really had a go, didn't they?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35You're lucky they didn't hit anything major.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37So everyone keeps telling me.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39So how much blood did you lose?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Ow! No idea.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Still...
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Yeah, I know, I'm lucky to be alive.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I was thinking more like stupid to discharge yourself.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53I had my reasons.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Well, it doesn't look infected, luckily. Let's redress it.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03A cricket bat, eh?
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Yeah, couldn't quite reach my AK.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10I get it - defending your family, chasing after a gang.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Except isn't that how you ended up with a hole in your belly?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16So you think that I should have done nothing?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Don't get me wrong, if Sierra was in danger,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I would have probably done something similar.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22What do you mean, similar?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25A bit less stupid. And macho.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I mean, you went in there with nothing and they had knives.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- All right.- The kid that Zara found was knifed, wasn't he?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Yeah. Do you know what? I thought you might be on my side.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Don't know where you got that from.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36The way I see it, right now,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38the best thing you can do for Joe and Zara
0:10:38 > 0:10:42is settle down, chug the painkillers and get lots of sleep.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Thank you, Nurse, for your wise words.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47They cost you extra. I'll add it to your bill.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Ow!
0:10:50 > 0:10:51HE GROANS
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- KNOCKING - Come in.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Ah. I take it your calls didn't go well?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Nobody wanted to help. Too busy.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Did you know that homelessness has doubled since 2012?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Yes, I did.- Awful thing to admit,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15but after a while, you just stop noticing it.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Well, can't we get Tess on an emergency housing list?
0:11:18 > 0:11:19She doesn't fit the criteria.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Em, I need the ear pokey thing. Someone's stolen mine.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Well, look, you'd better return it. It's Zara's.- Mmm.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- What about the last place she stayed?- Windmill Drive?
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Couldn't she go back there?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32She was evicted but she wouldn't say why.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- What number Windmill Drive?- 42.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Thought so. That's Jim's place. - Who's Jim?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Jim Clements. Um... He's a landlord, ex-teacher.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41When his wife died,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44he started renting out one of his spare rooms to disadvantaged kids.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Cheaply? - Yeah, I think so. Jim's a good guy.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I mean, he'll bore you to death about Belgian beer
0:11:49 > 0:11:52and he cannot hit double top, but he's a good guy.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Well, maybe you should pay him a visit.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55He wasn't very friendly.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Mmm. Jim can be more bulldog than Labrador.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02But if you bark at him long enough, he might surprise you.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03What's with all the dogs?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06It was a patient this morning. I won't bore you with details.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08What sort of a dog am I?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Hmm. You...
0:12:11 > 0:12:15You're a Jack Russell. Excitable, yappy.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Irritating.- Yeah. Stubborn as hell.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Don't even think about it.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30PHONE RINGS
0:12:31 > 0:12:32What's happened?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Just wondering where you were.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38I'm just...doing my errands.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39You've been four hours.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41SHE SIGHS
0:12:41 > 0:12:46OK, well, I may have stopped by the school a little early.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- How early?- I don't want to be late for the bell.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Zara, how long have you been watching the school gates?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55If you're telling me I shouldn't be here, you are wasting your breath.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I'm not telling you off.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02If I wasn't sitting here being so pathetic, I'd be there with you.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06How are you feeling? Did Ayesha come round?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Er, she did, yeah. Plenty of nagging.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10How very dare she.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12You're feeling OK?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Top of the world.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15BELL RINGS
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Look. There's the bell now. Try and get some rest, darling.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Haskey sent you, did he?
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Not sent exactly. But he did say that you were kind.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- And fair.- Al's a good bloke.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33He's helped me win more pub quizzes than I've got toes.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35But let's not beat about the bush.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37You want me to give Tess her old room back.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40It really is her only option.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44The answer's no. Sorry. Tess broke my rules.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46She can't have done anything that bad.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49What Tess did... it's not my story to tell.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a busy afternoon ahead of me.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Joe!
0:14:07 > 0:14:09What the hell happened?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Look at you!
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Darling... Come here.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21They can't even find me a bed for one night?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I put your name on the waiting list.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24How long will that take?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Four to six months.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I am so sorry.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Don't worry about it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39This guy came over, and we got talking.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43He's got all these flats in Catford. That's London.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45He's going to give me a room in one.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Yeah, but you haven't got a deposit.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50He's not asking for any money upfront.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52And he says the flat's great.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Full of all these other girls who are getting work and everything.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Just girls?- It's not like that.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Are they hookers?
0:14:59 > 0:15:00I don't think so.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04He was OK.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Look, I know.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I know, but what other choice have I got?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Well, you could always stay here.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Don't forget your aunt - she's local.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17And there's your old room at Windmill Drive.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- I'm trying to get it back. - Jim wouldn't take me.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Tess, what happened?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I thought I said I don't want to talk about it.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33I'm too old for milkshakes.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Oh, is there an age limit? Because I got myself one as well.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Look, I hope you know - I would never judge you.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Some of the things I've done!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Ever taken salts?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51On my food?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Not salt. Salts.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56The drug.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00No. But I'm guessing you have?
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Just once.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Only time I ever took anything.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Yesterday.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09It was one year since Mum died.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12That must be hard.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I reckoned they'd help with the pain.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16That's understandable.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18But it's no excuse.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Clements was right to chuck me out.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25I should just take the hint and clear off properly.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26Hitch down to London.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Hitch? No!
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Look, just give me a little bit more time...
0:16:31 > 0:16:33It's getting late, and I've only made three quid.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Just a couple of hours.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- I'll stay till the shops shut.- OK.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Hiya!
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Ah-ha-ha, what you got?!
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Just, er...
0:16:53 > 0:16:56So, in the space of time that it took me to get all that,
0:16:56 > 0:16:57you got a pair of socks?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Well, yeah.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- Navy socks.- I like navy!
0:17:01 > 0:17:03What's the matter with you?
0:17:05 > 0:17:06My face everywhere.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Right, just because you're a poster boy,
0:17:10 > 0:17:11it doesn't mean you have to wear navy.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Not just navy. It could be black or charcoal...
0:17:14 > 0:17:17..with a white shirt and a tie. Like Obama.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21You love patterned shirts. You get excited by new trainers.
0:17:21 > 0:17:27You do know that it's about who you are, not what you wear?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30You're the one that keeps going on about how dull navy suits are.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35Because it doesn't reflect who you are. It's like you want to, uh...
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Want to what?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Fade into the background. Why?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Because I'm a fraud.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46This whole diversity scheme. I... People think I'm a spokesperson
0:17:46 > 0:17:47and I'm really not.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Have you tried? - Yeah, loads of times.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52But it's all pictures and, "Aren't you cute?"
0:17:52 > 0:17:54And the guys ribbing me.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Then you want to speak louder. Get gobby, like me.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59It's not that easy.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03I have got this podcast tomorrow but I'm just dreading it, to be honest.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04What, so you've just given up?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06SHE LAUGHS
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Hey, what would Obama say?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Probably, "Yes, I can," and just keep going.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Oh, yeah!
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I suppose.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Right. You can start by treating yourself to something
0:18:20 > 0:18:22that you would actually like.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24What's it going to be?
0:18:26 > 0:18:27I did quite like them green trainers.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I know you did.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I know why Tess took the drugs.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40It's the anniversary of her mother's death.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Take a seat. I think there's something you need to see.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Oi!- "Homeless. Please help"! - Give it back!
0:18:57 > 0:18:58MOCKING: "Give it back!"
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Alice? Auntie Alice?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- What's that?- A chair.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- It doesn't look like a chair. - It did before Tess smashed it up.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25These new drugs, psychoactive crap,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28they make you act in terrifying ways.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- I'm sorry she frightened you, but...- This is not about me.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36These kids are vulnerable. One user drags everyone down.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40So, you see, I can't have her back in this house.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I made tea.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Thanks, Ben.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I can see why you'd want to protect what you've got here.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57But we are talking about the life of a young girl.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Someone who made one stupid mistake.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Know a lot about drugs, do you?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I know a lot about grief.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06The first anniversary of your mother's death,
0:20:06 > 0:20:08that day happens only once.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Life's hard. What about the next difficult day Tess has?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15We'll get her some counselling.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- There is help available... - Aye, I've heard that before.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- You've had other tenants who've taken drugs?- Yeah.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24And it always turned out badly?
0:20:24 > 0:20:28One lad stole me late wife's jewellery.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Another...the TV.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34And they all sent this house into a tailspin.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37So, yeah, you could say badly.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Look, just because you've been burned before
0:20:40 > 0:20:42doesn't mean it's going to happen again.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Tess did this once.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Once, in the whole time she's been here.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49You know she's not normally like that.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55What did you do on the anniversary of your wife's death?
0:20:55 > 0:20:56That's none of your business.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01One Belgian beer too many, maybe? We all have our lapses.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I have a tendency to have a massive cry
0:21:04 > 0:21:07and then go and shout at my mother's grave.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Some people get drunk, some take a pill.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Yes, if it starts to happen all the time, of course, that's a problem.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16But one time?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Please, Jim. Just give her a chance.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Doesn't everyone deserve that?
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Hi.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51I'm Tess.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Sarah's daughter.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I know who you are. You look like her.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I'm sorry to tell you, but...
0:22:01 > 0:22:03..my mum died.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Her funeral was at St Margaret's.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07I heard.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Well, I didn't see you there.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I don't know what you think you're doing here.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Saying hello.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Well, now you have, you don't need to come back.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18And stop hanging around at the end of the street.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- I've seen you. - I weren't doing nothing wrong.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21I just wanted to see you.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25You're my aunt!
0:22:25 > 0:22:26That doesn't mean anything.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28You're my only family.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Family! You don't know what that means.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33I got away from all of them, including your mum,
0:22:33 > 0:22:36because they were rotten and selfish...
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Look, I've built my life here.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45I don't need you waltzing in and turning everything upside down.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Come here again and I will call the police.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31That second bath seemed to do the trick. He's getting dressed now.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I said he could come in here and watch something on the tablet.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35OK. So everything's fine.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37No, it's not!
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Our son was sent sprawling in the mud.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44OK, does it have to be such a big deal?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47You know, he was playing, he got a shove. It happens all the time.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49You don't think it's too much of a coincidence?
0:23:49 > 0:23:50What are you suggesting?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53That the boy who shoved him was connected to the gang.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Come on, Zara.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59I'm going to the Head tomorrow to demand immediate action.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Please don't.- Why not?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03For Joe.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04PHONE CHIMES
0:24:04 > 0:24:06You know how sensitive he is.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11After the week he's had, it's fantastic that he's playing at all.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15We get his friends punished, what kind of a message does that send?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Yes, he's going to let Tess come back.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22I can't wait to see her face.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25I know, I channelled my inner Jack Russell!
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Uh... I'll call you back.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Mummy!
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Darling!
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Oh, gosh, did you have a bad dream?
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Oh, look. Come here.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47It's OK. It's OK.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Do I have to go back to school?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Do you not want to go back?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Is it because of what happened today?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02OK, let me see.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06What do we know about this Zak character?
0:25:06 > 0:25:07What's his second name?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Zak Curtis.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Curtis? Oh, is his dad a dentist?
0:25:13 > 0:25:14And they live near the big park?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Was it my fault?
0:25:18 > 0:25:22No. No, darling. None of this is your fault.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26You have nothing to be ashamed of.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27I'm glad you were playing.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30But if you are ever unhappy with your friends,
0:25:30 > 0:25:32you have to tell them to stop.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34What if they don't listen?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Well, then you tell the teachers.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38What if the teachers don't listen?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Well, then the teachers are in trouble.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Because I will come down to that school,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46and I will say... "Stop what you are doing!
0:25:46 > 0:25:51"Everyone! No-one is allowed to hurt my son!"
0:25:51 > 0:25:54HE GIGGLES
0:25:54 > 0:25:56How come you never get scared?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I do, sometimes.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02We all do.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03But you don't run away?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05No, I don't.
0:26:09 > 0:26:15Because that would be letting the bullies win.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17And we can't let that happen, can we?
0:26:18 > 0:26:23So, I will always stand up for what is right.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Always.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Oh... You still working?
0:26:38 > 0:26:42I'm typing up my report while it's still fresh.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I'm sorry about Tess. It must be upsetting.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Well, I'm not the one on the streets.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Well, nevertheless, if you want to have a drink and talk it through?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57There's nothing to talk about.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Like you said, I should have kept a professional distance.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Well...
0:27:04 > 0:27:07..don't stay too late, will you?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- What are you collecting for? - It's the Buddhist centre.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23I didn't know there was one.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25You threatened Zak's mother?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I established a quid pro quo.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29What is it that's troubling you?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32- Hello? - If you could stop saying hello.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34It makes it sound like a phone call.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36I was wondering if we could meet up?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39No. There is nothing for us to talk about.
