0:01:11 > 0:01:15Oh, Al, Mrs Finch's radiology report's back, so when you're ready.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18I will be duly ready to face the day after I've had my mandatory quota

0:01:18 > 0:01:20of freshly brewed coffee.

0:01:20 > 0:01:25I believe today we have... Is that Colombian or is that Kenyan blend?

0:01:25 > 0:01:27No-frills discount. There you go.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Amazing. - Don't say we don't splash out.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31And I e-mailed you those titles as well.

0:01:31 > 0:01:32Yeah, thanks.

0:01:32 > 0:01:37I love Amelia Harry. She's got this great way of making CBT accessible.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38That's why I chose them.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42Oh, er, besides the talking therapy books, another idea - how about

0:01:42 > 0:01:48adding some self-help books, you know, including eating disorders, anxiety?

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Yeah, I like it. A psychology section in the library is possible?

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Hm! Don't ask me. Bend Mrs Tembe's ear.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58You OK?

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Shipshape and Bristol fashion.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06MACHINE BEEPS

0:02:06 > 0:02:08This thing is from the Stone Age.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11They make them with Wi-Fi now and everything.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Thump that again and I'll thump you!

0:02:14 > 0:02:15Ow!

0:02:15 > 0:02:16It's so old it runs on coal.

0:02:18 > 0:02:19Ta-da!

0:02:20 > 0:02:21Lucky.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25- What was that about with Megan and Jimmi?- No idea.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27They are getting really chummy, aren't they?

0:02:27 > 0:02:31Look, if Jimmi would rather have lunch with his new best friend, then it's his loss. I don't care.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Mm! Sounding bitter and jilted, Haskey. Not pretty.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Is that why you were avoiding them? - Were you?

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Look, just because everyone else is over the moon with our new recruit doesn't mean that I have to be.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44First the printer, now Megan. What's got into you?

0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Just haven't taken to her. - Oh, please!

0:02:46 > 0:02:49All right, fine. I find her insincere.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51She's actually a real laugh if you get to know her.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Unlike misery guts here.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Oi, oi, oi!

0:02:58 > 0:03:01DOOR BUZZES

0:03:04 > 0:03:08Hi...Charlie! I was just buzzing you.

0:03:10 > 0:03:11Are you going out?

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Yeah. Wasn't expecting you.

0:03:13 > 0:03:14I did send you a letter.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Must have gone to my old address.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18No, I think the address is fine.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21It's just I haven't seen you at ante-natal clinic.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22Been a bit tied up.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26Yeah, but clinic's important. And you are, what, four and a half?

0:03:26 > 0:03:27Things are awkward.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Look, I could schedule a home visit, if you want.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Do you want...- Don't matter.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34- Have you got time to see me now? - I'm late.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Got to ring Benefits and get this chap fed.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Right.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40I've got to go up to the second floor for a visit.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Why don't I just pop back in a bit?

0:03:43 > 0:03:44Sure.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50I want you to treat this as your home.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52That's kind. Thanks.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55I'm going to cook something special for us tonight.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Mm! I'm being spoilt.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01I have made some room in the wardrobe for you and left you

0:04:01 > 0:04:04some space in the bathroom for your toiletries.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05I don't need that much space.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Is this all you've brought?

0:04:09 > 0:04:10Yeah, and a few carrier bags.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14Ah. You have left most of your belongings.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Got the essentials. I get by on what I need.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Well, that is an admirable quality.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23- I've moved that many times, I lost count.- Oh.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25My mantra is the less you have, the easier.

0:04:27 > 0:04:28Easier to what?

0:04:28 > 0:04:31To pack up and go. Always prided myself on that.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38All these books need shelving.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Oh, I'll do it.- On that thing?

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Recovery's a lonely road, Karen. I'll manage.

0:04:43 > 0:04:44KAREN LAUGHS

0:04:44 > 0:04:47Hang on a minute! We've all done our stint, thank you.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Got some clinic samples for the post.- I'll do it when I've finished here.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Can it go out today, though?

0:04:57 > 0:04:58Valerie, for goodness' sake!

0:04:58 > 0:04:59Sorry.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Karen, where, oh, where is my next patient?

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Ooh, hang on. Ah, she cancelled.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Great(!) Well, thanks very much for letting me know.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12You see, I'm not currently telepathic.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13- Oi!- What was that for?

0:05:13 > 0:05:15Biting everyone's head off.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18It's this damn headache.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Again?- Yeah, it's driving me mad.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22So stop taking it out on everyone and take something.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26I have. I'm on the prophylaxis now cos the Triptans weren't working.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28You figured out what your triggers are?

0:05:28 > 0:05:32No, I've tried all the usual suspects. In fact, I've tried everything.

0:05:32 > 0:05:33Nothing's working.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37- RUHMA:- Well, I'm chasing one of my mums down.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39She's missed a few ante-natal appointments. I don't know.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41I'm just worried about her.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43SHE CHUCKLES

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Very funny. Seriously, though, something just seems off.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51- No, no, no, don't put me on hold again!- OK, so I've just spotted the buggy outside a phone box and

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- she sounds a bit angry.- No!

0:05:54 > 0:05:57No, I've got a half-day. I'm meeting Megan for lunch and I cannot wait.

0:05:57 > 0:05:58Aargh!

0:05:58 > 0:06:00OK. Yeah.

0:06:00 > 0:06:01I'll speak to you later. OK, bye.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Hey, you OK?

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Flipping Benefits keeping me on hold!

0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Is your phone not working? - I'm at a phone box!

0:06:12 > 0:06:16They'll stop my money. Oh, it's eaten my pound!

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Sorry, love, Mummy's going to get you a drink in a minute.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Here, I've got some.

0:06:22 > 0:06:23Don't do that.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25But I've got the change. It's not a problem.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29BABY CRIES

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Oh, you're joking, it's eaten this one too!

0:06:35 > 0:06:37I've got an idea. Why don't we go indoors

0:06:37 > 0:06:40and you can sort Olly and then you can use my mobile?

0:06:40 > 0:06:43I'll pay you back when my benefits come through.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Charlie, it's a quid.

0:06:45 > 0:06:46Maybe just a quid to you.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50- OK, I didn't mean it like that. - Just cos I'm reduced to benefits doesn't mean I can't pay my way.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52I know you've got your pride and you don't want pity hand-outs.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56- I know because I've been a single mum.- Wouldn't have guessed.

0:06:56 > 0:06:57Well, there you go.

0:06:58 > 0:07:02So shall we have a little chat after you've sorted Olly?

0:07:02 > 0:07:03All right.

0:07:04 > 0:07:05Come on.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08You called to say that you'd had a burglary?

0:07:08 > 0:07:11Well, we've had a look round the outside of the house.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16So...somebody's gone to town.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Julie gives me a lift to work, goes shopping...

0:07:19 > 0:07:21comes back to this. It doesn't make sense.

0:07:21 > 0:07:26Right. Well, I can't find any signs of forced entry so far.

0:07:26 > 0:07:27Has anything been taken?

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Everything's still here... just ruined.

0:07:30 > 0:07:31I don't get it.

0:07:31 > 0:07:36It could have been a random opportunist or somebody could know your routine.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39- How'd you mean? - Could this have been done by somebody for personal reasons?

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Have you got any enemies - any disgruntled neighbours or colleagues?

0:07:42 > 0:07:45I run a plumbing business. It ain't exactly cut-throat Wall Street.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Must be some lout chancing his luck.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49No morning sickness, then?

0:07:49 > 0:07:52No. I get really tired, though. Wasn't like this with Olly.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57It could be a lack of iron. Could arrange for a blood test.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59- You might need some supplements. - Can't afford that.

0:07:59 > 0:08:03Well, you wouldn't pay for it. It'd be free. You'd qualify under the Healthy Start scheme.

0:08:03 > 0:08:04Never heard of it.

0:08:04 > 0:08:05I'll give you a leaflet.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09OK. Actually, do you mind if you don't come up?

0:08:09 > 0:08:10The place is a bit of a mess.

0:08:11 > 0:08:12Are you sure?

0:08:13 > 0:08:17- Thanks for the phone, by the way. - Charlie, I feel...

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Not used to living on benefits.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22How'd you do healthy food on a shoestring?

0:08:22 > 0:08:27Well, it can be done. You get these vouchers for fresh fruit and free milk.

0:08:27 > 0:08:28I could give you some recipes.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30OK.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32It's just hard.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Yeah. Is your partner not around?

0:08:35 > 0:08:37No. We don't see a penny from him.

0:08:39 > 0:08:40Well, that is tough.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43And does the Child Support Agency...do they not help?

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Not so far. He's good at giving them the run-around.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49He'd rather see his kids starve.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52When a relationship ends, it shouldn't stop someone being a parent, should it?

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Exactly. Kids still need a roof.

0:08:57 > 0:08:58We've were homeless for a bit.

0:08:58 > 0:08:59- No way!- Yeah.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Yeah, sleeping on people's sofas.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07It was very hard. It's the kids you feel terrible for, isn't it?

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Sometimes, I regret leaving.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Nothing worse than riches to rags, being broke and lonely.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17I would have loved to go back to college.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Why didn't you?

0:09:19 > 0:09:22My ex used to say I was too thick, better off at home.

0:09:24 > 0:09:25He's right. My reading's not great.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29There are adult literacy courses you could do.

0:09:29 > 0:09:34You're like Tanisha. She's at my support group. Knows loads.

0:09:34 > 0:09:35We're not your typical coffee morning.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38It's good you're getting support.

0:09:38 > 0:09:39We're called the Red Mums' Club.

0:09:39 > 0:09:40That's different.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Come if you like. We could do with someone like you.

0:09:45 > 0:09:50- Today?- Yeah.- OK, yeah, if you think I'd be any help.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54Yeah. I'll sort childcare with my mum and meet you there.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55All right. OK.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03Ooh, Al, Al! I have got just the thing for you.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07Now, I know that you're sometimes dismissive of alternative medicines,

0:10:07 > 0:10:09but this really works for me.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12It's a homeopathic remedy. Swear by it for headaches.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16If you really believe that, then you are as weak-minded and as gullible as the rest of them.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Homeopathy is clap-trap.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20It's available on the NHS in some places.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Yeah, places where the demographic of patients is made up of

0:10:23 > 0:10:27loom-weaving, crystal-rubbing, lentil-eating hippies.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30So that's a no, then?

0:10:41 > 0:10:42OK.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44What's up?

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Do I look that bad in a uniform?

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Oh, don't worry about that. They'll get used to you.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51There's quite a range of women, isn't there?

0:10:51 > 0:10:55Tanisha says any woman can end up on the breadline thanks to a bloke.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Tanisha sounds very worldly wise or world weary.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59Tanisha sounds what?

0:11:00 > 0:11:04This is Tanisha, club leader. Meet Ruhma, best midwife ever.

0:11:05 > 0:11:10Charlie's been singing your praises. It's quite a unique support group you've got here.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Ruhma's got some leaflets for us.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Not breast-feeding, by any chance?

0:11:14 > 0:11:20Nutritional advice on a budget. I'm not going to stay long.

0:11:20 > 0:11:21- Where do you want...- Jenny?

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Show her the advice table.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30What you playing at? Club business is confidential.

0:11:30 > 0:11:31Don't stress. She's all right.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34How'd you know? She's your midwife, not your mate, you idiot.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37She's been a single mum, like us. She's on our side.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Can you vouch for her?

0:11:40 > 0:11:45So I read an article recently that said that homeopathy

0:11:45 > 0:11:47tends to be misunderstood by doctors.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49One word - unwise.

0:11:50 > 0:11:51Is that so?

0:11:51 > 0:11:56Mm. It was in a very reputable magazine in the alternative medicine field.

0:11:56 > 0:12:00Oh, right. And what reputable magazine was that? Was it Witches And Wizards Weekly?

0:12:00 > 0:12:03No, it was Chakras, Runes And Auras, actually.

0:12:03 > 0:12:04You really want to do this?

0:12:04 > 0:12:08It is a pseudoscience based on fairy dust principles.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11No, you see, what you do is you treat like with like.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14So if you've got the symptoms of a cold, you use an onion-based remedy.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18Or something else which will produce similar symptoms, like a runny nose or running eyes.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20You do realise that's utterly ridiculous, don't you?

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Homeopathic remedies have got healing powers. Don't care what you say.

0:12:23 > 0:12:28Oh, you don't care what I say? I've got one word for you - placebo.

0:12:28 > 0:12:33Ah, well, then how come it works for children, babies and animals?

0:12:33 > 0:12:36Cos, apparently, they are too young to have developed the placebo response.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Ooh, hark at you!

0:12:38 > 0:12:41No, no, no, no, no! I'm not having that. There is not one single molecule of

0:12:41 > 0:12:44the original chemicals in the compounds that homeopaths use.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48- You might as well be using rainwater.- I don't think you're being very open...

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Read my lips, Pitman - it is a con!

0:12:56 > 0:12:59- TANISHA:- And to recap, this morning went to plan. No hitches.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02Thanks to Meadows, Rogers, Phillips and Klein.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06Let's move onto the agenda. Today's discussion is about the statutory charge.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09I've done some research and consulted the CAB.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15Before we start, we've got someone new. Ruhma - Charlie's midwife.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Hey. Hello.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Ruhma's been a single mum too. Understands what it's like.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24And she knows about eating healthy on a budget.

0:13:24 > 0:13:30Yeah, I've got some leaflets up there, and if there is any advice you want on anything...

0:13:40 > 0:13:41Right!

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Sergeant Hollins, please.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Told you we weren't a typical support group.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54It's cos we try to get informed.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56About what, exactly?

0:13:56 > 0:13:58You know, the law and stuff.

0:13:58 > 0:14:02All the women in this club have been in relationships where their exes have left them poorer.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04These men don't fork out for their kids.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08Well, shouldn't the CSA be getting maintenance off them?

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Yeah, but some mums here don't want to be found.

0:14:10 > 0:14:11They can't take that risk.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Put them in the system and, bam!

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Why the topic the statutory charge?

0:14:16 > 0:14:20It applies to some members here due to their divorces.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22- Did you know legal aid isn't always free?- Yeah.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24If you've gained property or assets,

0:14:24 > 0:14:28you may have to pay back some or all of the costs provided by legal aid.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30See? Tanisha knows about this.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Has Charlie told you why we're called the Red Mums' Club?

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Because we live in the red and we're angry.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38I understand there is hardship,

0:14:38 > 0:14:41but I can't agree that anger is the answer.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44You don't have to agree with me. Facts speak for themselves.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47It's not enough to be informed.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50We're about taking action, making the dads pay.

0:14:50 > 0:14:51Um...what does that mean?

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Club's over. We have to go.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56Charlie, you need to stay.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Thanks for coming and everything.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05MEGAN: What the heck is going on?

0:15:05 > 0:15:06Oh, I don't know.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08Charlie must be getting something from it.

0:15:08 > 0:15:09Well, that's what's worrying

0:15:09 > 0:15:14because she clearly needs the support, but it just seems so unhelpful.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Well, if they're struggling cos deadbeat dads aren't paying up,

0:15:17 > 0:15:21then who can blame them for educating themselves?

0:15:21 > 0:15:27Yeah, you're right. Anyway, I'm wittering on. How are you?

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Paperwork morning - fun(!)

0:15:31 > 0:15:38Oh, Al - he seemed to be suffering from a headache this morning.

0:15:38 > 0:15:39He's still having them?

0:15:39 > 0:15:44Yeah. He shot poor Valerie down for offering a herbal remedy.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Yeah, well, that's Al.

0:15:46 > 0:15:50You'd have noticed - he doesn't have much truck for feelings or bedside manner.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52Yeah, I can imagine.

0:15:52 > 0:15:58Al prefers science and technology to human beings and messy relationships.

0:15:59 > 0:16:05Yeah, I can see that. But there must be something more.

0:16:05 > 0:16:10Has Al lost his father recently, by any chance?

0:16:10 > 0:16:14How would you know... OK, you're good.

0:16:14 > 0:16:15Very good.

0:16:17 > 0:16:22Er, can you or Miss Pitman deal with the questionnaires from the PPG?

0:16:22 > 0:16:23PHONE RINGS

0:16:23 > 0:16:25- Valerie's on lunch.- Yes, well, then you will have to do it.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Hello?

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Oh, hello, Mrs Robinson, how are you?

0:16:34 > 0:16:36What...

0:16:36 > 0:16:41He's running around my house? And have you not called the police?

0:16:46 > 0:16:47Right, um...

0:16:47 > 0:16:48Is the bike parked on my drive?

0:16:52 > 0:16:54It is...

0:16:54 > 0:16:57It's just someone doing some DIY work for me.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01They probably have not realised the music is so loud.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06No, I will have a word with them when I get home.

0:17:06 > 0:17:07Yes. Right, thank you.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Are you OK?- Yes. Yes, of course.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18MEGAN: So, Jimmi...partner or kids?

0:17:18 > 0:17:20You interested?

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Not in that way. Purely professional.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Sure it is(!)- I'm mentoring him.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Well, you get on very well.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30Stop it! He's easy to talk to, you know.

0:17:30 > 0:17:31Well?

0:17:31 > 0:17:35- Well, to be fair, it is a bit complicated.- Oh, dear.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37I mean, he's got baggage, like the rest of us

0:17:37 > 0:17:40but, at heart, he's a very decent guy.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42- You know, you could do a lot worse. - I told you.

0:17:43 > 0:17:47That's Charlie there, look, in front. Where are they going?

0:17:47 > 0:17:49She looks like she's being frog-marched.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52- I'm going to... - I'll see you back at work.- OK.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02We don't need that. Look what I've got.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Ruhma! What you doing here?

0:18:10 > 0:18:11Is this what the Red Mums do?

0:18:11 > 0:18:13Get the petrol and the lighter out now.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Whoever's done this was trying to do me serious harm.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Well, they've certainly upped the ante. Maybe you're being followed.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22Have you got any other assets?

0:18:22 > 0:18:24- There's me van. - Do you keep much stock in there?

0:18:24 > 0:18:27It's got tools in it. You don't think?

0:18:27 > 0:18:29You do seem to be the target.

0:18:29 > 0:18:34- 'Control to 7244.' - 7244, receiving, over.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38'Can you attend a reported break-in at Letherbridge Park Garages? Others in attendance.'

0:18:38 > 0:18:40That's mine!

0:18:40 > 0:18:42Yeah, I'm on my way. Out.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44So what's going on?

0:18:44 > 0:18:48Whatever it is, it doesn't look good. Charlie?

0:18:48 > 0:18:50The garage belongs to my ex.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53We was targeting one of his assets.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55METAL CLANGS

0:18:55 > 0:18:56What does that mean?

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Tanisha calls it collective acts of revenge.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02On your ex-partners?

0:19:02 > 0:19:04We really were a support group once.

0:19:04 > 0:19:09Then we started doing harmless, stupid stuff, like prank calls.

0:19:09 > 0:19:10And now?

0:19:10 > 0:19:14Tanisha took over, said we needed to be more vigilante.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16Why are you getting mixed up in this?

0:19:16 > 0:19:20Do you do everything Tanisha tells you to do? Is it cos you're scared of her?

0:19:20 > 0:19:21No!

0:19:21 > 0:19:23It's gone too far. Someone's going to get hurt.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25We never hurt people, just their stuff.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30You've been hurt. You're putting this baby at risk.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34What if it escalates? You're putting Olly in danger.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36I'm doing this for them.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38What if you end up in prison? Then what?

0:19:38 > 0:19:40It won't come to that.

0:19:40 > 0:19:41You don't know that.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45Do you want to have this baby behind bars?

0:19:45 > 0:19:46Charlie!

0:19:50 > 0:19:51Do you have Mr Coo...

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Oi! Lights off.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56You OK?

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Another migraine. But worse.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02Beta blockers not working either?

0:20:02 > 0:20:03Nope.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05You need to see your GP.

0:20:05 > 0:20:11Waste of time. I've gone private. Got a brain scan tomorrow.

0:20:11 > 0:20:18Wow, OK. Some of my patients swear by acupuncture.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20- What?! - All right, don't bite my head off.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29SOUND OF SMASHING

0:20:29 > 0:20:30You don't understand.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Matthew's a nasty piece of work - controlling,

0:20:33 > 0:20:35always bossing me about.

0:20:35 > 0:20:36I can get back at him.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40I doubt it. Retaliating - that's just sinking to his level, Charlie.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43Tanisha says it takes courage to take action.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45It took courage to leave Matthew.

0:20:45 > 0:20:49- He bullied you, but what's changed? - How'd you mean?

0:20:49 > 0:20:51- Come on! I've saved the best bit for you. Let's do it.- What?

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Torch his van. Watch his money go up in smoke!

0:20:53 > 0:20:56Don't do this, Charlie. This is stupid.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Is this being informed and helping vulnerable mums, then?

0:20:58 > 0:21:03Yeah. Do you know how long Alex has been waiting to get a penny out of her bloke? Six years!

0:21:03 > 0:21:06Six years! She was lucky.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Scottie lost her house, ended up in a homeless hostel,

0:21:08 > 0:21:10got her kids taken off her.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12The system doesn't help us. It's messed up!

0:21:12 > 0:21:16It's up to us. Take back your power, Charlie.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Yeah, she's right. You take back your power, Charlie.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20Don't be bossed about!

0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Tanisha, I can't.- You what?

0:21:28 > 0:21:30I wanted Matthew's wallet to hurt. I didn't want it to go this far.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33- Didn't want it to go this far? Pity's sake!- Stop it.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Don't wimp out now. We need to show him.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Time for talk is over. We take action. Come on!

0:21:38 > 0:21:41Yeah, you take action. You be courageous, Charlie, OK?

0:21:44 > 0:21:46- Give me it.- Charlie!

0:21:48 > 0:21:49Charlie!

0:21:52 > 0:21:54What you doing?

0:21:54 > 0:21:56We can't do this.

0:21:56 > 0:21:57Hey!

0:21:57 > 0:21:59- POLICE SIRENS WAIL - Police! Girls!

0:22:15 > 0:22:16Do you think you've suffered a TIA?

0:22:18 > 0:22:22No. Nothing's been found so far.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Could be a good sign.

0:22:24 > 0:22:25I guess so.

0:22:25 > 0:22:26And you've booked the scan.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Yeah, tomorrow will help clear things up.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Yeah, get to the bottom of it.

0:22:31 > 0:22:32That's good, isn't it?

0:22:36 > 0:22:40I had your back, Charlie. That's what Red Mums was about.

0:22:40 > 0:22:41You're pathetic!

0:22:41 > 0:22:44And you're a bully! No better than the bloke I left.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Not the first time I've seen that neon paint today.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49- Should have known you were involved. - I tried to make them stop.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50She did.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53You knew a crime was being committed, then?

0:22:53 > 0:22:54You trashed my house.

0:22:54 > 0:22:55They knew about the key.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Cos you told them.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Bet you're responsible for that trap that nearly maimed me!

0:23:00 > 0:23:02No, honestly, I didn't know that they...

0:23:02 > 0:23:04What else have they been doing?

0:23:04 > 0:23:05You'll know soon enough.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07You're a nut job. Arrest her!

0:23:07 > 0:23:09Sir, I'm dealing with it.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Sorry, Matt, but it's been hard

0:23:12 > 0:23:14having to go on benefits, food banks

0:23:14 > 0:23:17while you buy bling for your girlfriend.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20Didn't mean to hurt you. You're still their dad.

0:23:20 > 0:23:21When it suits you.

0:23:21 > 0:23:26She wasn't involved in any of the damage, OK? She's pregnant, Rob.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28She's got another kid to look after too.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32Charlie, I'm not going to arrest you, but you will need to come down the station to be interviewed.

0:23:32 > 0:23:33What? She confessed!

0:23:33 > 0:23:34Please, sir!

0:23:34 > 0:23:37It's not right. Who wanted to end it, eh? Who?

0:23:37 > 0:23:40That's enough. Try and remember your kids in all of this.

0:23:40 > 0:23:41Oh, that's rich!

0:23:41 > 0:23:44Ask her the last time she let me see Olly.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48Because you... Know what?

0:23:48 > 0:23:52When you're ready to pay support for your kid, then you can see him.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55What I want is to ring my insurers,

0:23:55 > 0:23:56sort out the mess she's made.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01I'd better ring Mum. Could I?

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Oh, yeah, of course. Sorry.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06- There you go.- Thanks.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12She's not going to be charged, is she, Rob?

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Well, if what you say is true,

0:24:14 > 0:24:16I reckon the most she'll get is a caution.

0:24:16 > 0:24:22LOUD ROCK MUSIC PLAYS

0:24:22 > 0:24:24JJ, would you please...

0:24:24 > 0:24:27JJ! JJ, please, turn it... Just turn it down!

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Winifred! Hang on, I'll turn it down.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Look, I know I said that you should make this your home...

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Yeah. I got me gear unpacked and found all me CDs.

0:24:43 > 0:24:44Look, this is a very quiet area.

0:24:46 > 0:24:50There are a lot of elderly people who are not necessarily used to this loud noise.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55How much have you been drinking?

0:24:55 > 0:24:56Just a couple of cans.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02Sorry, I should have realised this was such a classy area.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04That is not what I meant.

0:25:04 > 0:25:11No, no... I don't fit in here. Maybe I shouldn't have moved in.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15No, don't say that. Just give it time.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19We will find a way to make this work.

0:25:20 > 0:25:21So much for the law!

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Everyone forgets I'm the victim in all this, not you.

0:25:24 > 0:25:25Boo-hooing and belly-aching!

0:25:25 > 0:25:27Just ignore him.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29You can whistle for your child support.

0:25:31 > 0:25:32Charlie!

0:25:32 > 0:25:35You're not worth it. Keep your money.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38I am the luckiest woman alive to be shot of you.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46You didn't mean that, did you?

0:25:46 > 0:25:48No chance. I really need the cash.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54I've been job-hunting all day. Nothing.

0:25:54 > 0:25:55Not even the odd bar shift.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00I am sure that something will come along.

0:26:00 > 0:26:05It's easy for you to say. You're a dream for any employer.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10You know, there was a time that I thought no-one believed in me.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16It was very painful, but it did pass.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21You will be all right. I have faith in you.

0:26:25 > 0:26:26Will you be honest with me?

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Yes.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32Do you regret asking me to move in?

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Of course not.

0:26:35 > 0:26:36Sure?

0:26:40 > 0:26:43Come, let me get you to bed.

0:26:43 > 0:26:47No. No, go. I'm all right.

0:27:12 > 0:27:13How did it go?

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Not brilliant.

0:27:15 > 0:27:16What is it?

0:27:18 > 0:27:19You ready?

0:27:19 > 0:27:21Yeah, absolutely.

0:27:21 > 0:27:22Listen, um...

0:27:24 > 0:27:26How do you feel about, er...

0:27:28 > 0:27:29It don't matter, it's nothing.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31- No, no, no. Go on.- It's nothing.
