0:01:08 > 0:01:10Been thinking about you. About Lauren.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11They're doing tests, ain't they.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15No, we don't know any more than that.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Call me if you hear anything.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32There's space on the liver ward now, so she'll be moved there shortly.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33What's wrong with her?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36The consultant there will be able to give you more details.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39I'm sorry, that's all I know.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Poor Kirsty.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Maybe you should go home and comfort her.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Don't.- What?
0:02:18 > 0:02:19I'm trying my best.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22If we're going to be like that, there's plenty I could mention.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Oh, yeah? Like what?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26There's got to be a reason Lauren wanted to come and live with me
0:02:26 > 0:02:28and Kirsty in the first place, ain't there?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Lauren, darling. How're you feeling?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35How's Abi?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37She's fine. She's fine. It's you that we're worried about.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I ruined her party, I didn't even get her a present.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Ssh. That's not important now.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46You won't leave me, will you?
0:02:46 > 0:02:47I'm not going anywhere.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Neither am I.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Apparently she was completely yellow.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56What? Like Homer Simpson?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59AJ. That's Carol's niece we're talking about.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00D'oh!
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Makes you think, doesn't it, what you put in your body.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Yeah. Totally, man.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- What?- Wow. Sorry, no, I just didn't realise
0:03:10 > 0:03:11this was what a temple looks like.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Yeah, but everything in moderation, all right?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Tell me the last time you had a bit of salad.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18And the bit of lettuce inside the kebab does not count.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20You can talk. I'm surprised you don't have scurvy,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23with the amount of fresh food that's passed your lips.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26You're just jealous of my naturally-fast metabolism. Look at that.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28It's what's inside that counts.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31My heart is a sprightly pony.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Yeah, my heart is like a racehorse.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Your heart is like a carthorse! Let's have a bet -
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I bet you can't run for ten minutes without keeling over.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Ten minutes? Don't make me laugh.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Yeah, give us a proper challenge.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43A proper challenge? OK.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46All right. You have to run for as long as it takes
0:03:46 > 0:03:48to burn off that lot.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52I'm game if you are, soldier?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Yeah, yeah, let's have this. To infinity and beyond.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57What?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Buzz Lightyear. Never mind.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01I got you a coffee.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Thought you could do with it this morning.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I found this on your doorstep.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Kirsty, I'm worried about you, you know, what with the Lauren thing.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16How is she?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18They're doing tests or something.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22If you need a chat, just come to mine later.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23What, so you can tell me how mad I am again?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28This is my mess. I need to sort it out myself.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34See you later.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Do you want some water or something, darling?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Are you hot, darling? You feel a bit cold?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Lauren Branning?- Yeah.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04My name's Liz, I'm a consultant hepatologist.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05A liver specialist.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Are you happy for your parents to stay while I talk to you?
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Yeah, course she is.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Lauren?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15You have acute hepatitis, which we think is caused by drinking.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18And what's that mean, exactly?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Inflammation of the liver.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24She's in a lot of pain. Is there something you can give her?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26We're doing our best to control that for you, Lauren,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28but when the liver's been damaged,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30it can struggle to break down the painkillers.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Damaged?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36What do you mean? She's going to get better, isn't she?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38We'll know more once Lauren's had an ultrasound scan.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Andy here's going to take you. Don't worry, he's a safe driver.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Right, well, I'd better come with you.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I thought it would be an opportunity to talk to you both,
0:05:45 > 0:05:49get an idea about Lauren's history. I'll be back in a minute.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59She's my beautiful, clever, funny little girl.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02How did she end up here?
0:06:10 > 0:06:14I remember my Nick's eyes going that colour. That yellow.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18She ain't a drug addict, Dot.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I ain't saying she is. Far from it.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I'm only saying it's brought it all back, that's all.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24You know, it was such a shock.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Same as your Rainie, I suppose?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Well, it's an addiction, ain't it, alcohol?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Might be legal - don't mean it don't do no damage.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38My granddaughter is seriously ill in hospital.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40We don't need a lecture to boot.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46Besides, everybody likes a drink. Even you.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Oh, but mine is medicinal.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Not the same as you Cross women.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55What exactly is it you're trying to say? Because you're upsetting Abi.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56I was just saying.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I wasn't judging, Abi.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03What I mean is that Lauren will need all our support,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06the love of her family round her to help her to fight it.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Oh!
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Oh, my Lord.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Now look what you've done.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15DOOR CLOSES
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I tried to stay away,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29but I couldn't just sit at home doing nothing, could I?
0:07:30 > 0:07:31How is she?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Joey, if you really cared about her, you wouldn't let her get smashed
0:07:35 > 0:07:37out of her head in R&Rs, would you?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41She's having an ultrasound.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42We'll let you know if we hear anything.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45I know it's hard, but...
0:07:47 > 0:07:49..the best thing you can do is wait at home.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Well, if anything happens...
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Yeah.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Right, according to this chart, your breakfast consisted of 700 calories.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11What?
0:08:11 > 0:08:12You're having a giraffe, ain't ya?
0:08:12 > 0:08:13No, I'm not. Right.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Bread, toasted with butter, 150 calories.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Baked beans, 150 calories. Two fried eggs, 150.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Two sausages, 200.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Tea...- Tea? There's no calories in tea!
0:08:25 > 0:08:27There are if you put two sugars in.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Thank you. Sugar. Shall I go on?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Come on, Peroxide, listen, what's the damage? How long we got to do?
0:08:32 > 0:08:33OK. Hold on. You ready?
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Hour and a half.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39No!
0:08:39 > 0:08:42All right, fine. Look, just admit that you're not that fit
0:08:42 > 0:08:44and you can start a gradual training programme.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Nah, bruv, that's for old folks like you.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52Us younger, leaner machines, we can go any distance, any time.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Right, Alfie?- Absolutely.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55What was that thing about infinity?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Infinity and beyond. Beyond! Let's go, let's go!
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Woo!- Come on! All right, girls?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Do you reckon they're going to do it?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Well, they could say anything. How would we know?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09This is a very good point.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11BOTH: Unless...
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Before we start, can I just ask you something?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Should Lauren even be on this ward?
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Excuse me?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Well, it's just clearly for people who've been drinking for years,
0:09:29 > 0:09:30isn't it?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32The woman in her room looks the same age as my mum.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Lauren is an alcoholic with serious liver damage.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40This is the best place for her.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46So, Lauren's drinking. How long would you say it's been a problem?
0:09:46 > 0:09:47A year?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Two?
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Ain't been that long.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54She's been clubbing for longer, hasn't she?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Just normal teenage stuff.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Did Lauren consider binge drinking normal?
0:09:59 > 0:10:00No.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Maybe.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Um, I don't know.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08She just liked going out with her mates and having a laugh.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Drinking to extremes is rarely about having fun.
0:10:11 > 0:10:17No. I... Yeah, I didn't mean that. I just mean that's when it started,
0:10:17 > 0:10:21and then it was when I got my diagnosis - I had cancer...
0:10:22 > 0:10:24That's when it started to get worse.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Did it?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28You weren't aware of her drinking?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32No. I wasn't living at home at that point.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36But I did think it'd started to get better, you know?
0:10:38 > 0:10:39But then, recently...
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Yeah.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44That's when it got really out of hand.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Recently?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Last couple of months.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Yeah. January?
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Just after you left.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53You left?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Yeah. Me and Max separated. And I needed a bit of time away.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00So Lauren doesn't live with you both?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02No, she lives with me.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Well, no, wouldn't call it living, really...
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Well, it's where she sleeps.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08On a mattress, in the room you're decorating for your unborn baby?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Max has married someone else, and they're expecting a baby...
0:11:14 > 0:11:17We haven't actually finalised living arrangements.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19She'll be coming home with me.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20We ain't discussed that.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21We don't need to.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Can we get back to Lauren's drinking?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26When you said it got out of hand, what level are you talking about?
0:11:28 > 0:11:29She was drunk a lot.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31In the mornings?
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Maybe.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Has she ever had any violent episodes?
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Yeah.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Lucy.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I know we must seem a little bit chaotic,
0:11:42 > 0:11:46but obviously we both just want what's best for our daughter.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Of course you do.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Which is why we should think about all the options
0:11:49 > 0:11:51for Lauren's recovery.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54What's that mean?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Lauren is going to need a stable, supportive environment
0:11:57 > 0:11:59to have the best chance of getting better.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Perhaps it's worth considering if either of your homes can offer that.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11We done?
0:12:12 > 0:12:13- Yes.- Cheers.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Thank you.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Where does she get off, saying we can't look after her?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28She's just trying to make us understand how serious this is.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Well, we ain't stupid, though, are we? Supportive environment?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33As if we can't provide that?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34I mean, I know we've had our problems,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- but we can always put them to one side, can't we?- Can we?
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Yeah. Course.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Tan, when Lauren went missing yesterday,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I know exactly what you were feeling.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Sick to your stomach, like you were looking into a big black hole,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49cos I was feeling exactly the same.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51It don't matter, Tan.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52It don't matter what happens between us,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54we'll always share that love of our kids.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57That is exactly why we're going to do everything we can
0:12:57 > 0:12:58to make sure she gets better.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01OK?
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Come here.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27How long?
0:13:30 > 0:13:3115 minutes.
0:13:31 > 0:13:3615 minutes? OK. That's good. Pit stop?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Or is that cheating or something?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40If it's all right for Jenson Button, right?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Right.- Although...
0:13:42 > 0:13:43OK. Let's go, then.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Wait. Wait there.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Where're you going?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49All right, guys?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I'm doing the right thing, I'm trying to look good for my woman,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55all right, but I just need five minutes, please, just two of them,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57and I promise I'll be back on it tomorrow. OK?
0:13:59 > 0:14:05What d'you reckon? Chant my name. AJ, AJ, AJ...
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Oh, stop right there. We can't.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I reckon we've got an hour to kill. Here you go.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Oops!
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Oh!
0:14:15 > 0:14:18You is naughty.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Cheers.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Taste good? Go on, then.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Argh!
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Argh!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27To infinity and before!
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Before! Way before!
0:14:37 > 0:14:38How're you feeling?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Tired.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Yeah. Close your eyes, then.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Why don't you go home, get her some stuff?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Let Abi and Mum know how she's getting on.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Babe, it's fine, I'll call Jack. He can bring some stuff.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02I'm worried about Abi. She was so excited about her party.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03I'll call her.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Please.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Just make sure she's all right. I'll call you if I hear anything.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14- Promise?- Yeah. Course.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20See you later, Lauren.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Sweet dreams, baby.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Sweet dreams.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03What're you doing?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Oh, hello, sweetheart. How's your sister?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08You're disgusting, you know that?
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Is everything OK?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14It's not even, what, 1:00, and you're getting wasted.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Just a beer.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Is that right?
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Just a beer?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Why does everyone in this world think that it's OK
0:16:21 > 0:16:23to drink themselves silly?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26What good has ever come out of anyone being drunk?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Why, why, why do you need booze to get through the day?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31That is pathetic! You are pathetic!
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Abi?
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Abi!
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- Forget the ice cream.- Yeah.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42You pleased with yourself, are you? Yeah?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44How could you lie to Max about Lauren texting you, eh?
0:16:46 > 0:16:47I didn't know how bad she was.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49As if that would've made a difference, Luce. You're sick.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- You know that. - Don't talk to her like that.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52You're no better, are you?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Sitting, watching her drink, were you?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- She didn't touch a drop till you turned up.- You what?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Yeah. So if anyone's to blame, mate, it's you.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Want to say that again? Do you want to say that again?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Joey! Stop it!
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Stop it!
0:17:04 > 0:17:08What is wrong with you? Stop it! These were meant to be for Lauren.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Our friend. Our cousin. You were in love with her once.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14She might be dying, and all you can do is fight.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18If we weren't all wrapped up in our own pathetic rubbish, then maybe
0:17:18 > 0:17:21we could've been there for her and prevented it from happening.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Come here.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Come here. It's going to be all right.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00OK?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Where's Dad?
0:18:04 > 0:18:05He went home to get you some stuff.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Lauren.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16When you went off with this bloke the other night, what happened?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Nothing.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Nothing like that. We was just drinking.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Why do you do it, Lauren? Why do you drink?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33It can't be to have a good time, can it?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Are you running away from something?
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Are you hurting?
0:18:38 > 0:18:39I don't know.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Because you can talk to me, you know.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47You can tell me anything, and I will listen. I won't judge.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50We get on well, don't we, you and me, on the whole?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53I mean, all mothers and daughters have their problems, don't they?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55But we're close, aren't we?
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Mum, please...
0:18:56 > 0:18:57We can talk. Can't we?
0:18:59 > 0:19:00I mean, when I had my cancer,
0:19:00 > 0:19:02you were the only person that I could confide in.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04And I want to do the same for you.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08I want to be there for you, I want to help you get better, protect you...
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Just stop.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Stop.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Sorry. Wh-What did I say?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I'm tired.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26I've got the results of the ultrasound scan.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Are you happy to hear them now, Lauren,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31or would you like to wait for your dad to get back?
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Mum?
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Yeah, yeah. Now.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46You do still want this baby, don't you?
0:19:46 > 0:19:47It's all I want.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I'm sorry about yesterday.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Drinking, and the Carl thing.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57I just didn't want him to come between us.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00Cos he means nothing to me.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03I promise you.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14I should get back.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30So, it is what you expected, then?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Acute alcoholic hepatitis, yes.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41So, what are we looking at for recovery here?
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Days, weeks?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45We expect to keep her in hospital for a few more days
0:20:45 > 0:20:47while we keep her on a vitamin drip,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49the Chlordiazepoxide for the withdrawal,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51and carry out more liver function tests.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55An alcohol liaison nurse will also want to speak to Lauren
0:20:55 > 0:20:57about stopping drinking.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59That's the biggest challenge.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Lauren's liver may naturally regenerate itself,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06but if an attack like this happens again,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08she could get liver cirrhosis.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11And that, I'm afraid, is irreversible.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17What do you mean? What do you mean, irreversible?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21It's impossible to say what would be the tipping point.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24It could be ten drinks, or it could be one.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29There is no longer a safe amount for you to drink.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38Jay. We didn't mean to upset her. I think she's a little bit teary.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40What's the matter? Sit down.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48What's happened?
0:21:50 > 0:21:51I'm a horrible person.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Don't be daft.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57I have bad thoughts. All the time.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Like what?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Like, why did she have to ruin my birthday?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Like, I wish I never had a sister.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Like, I wish my mum and dad would just walk away and forget about her.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12See? You're shocked.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14You thought I was nice. But I'm not.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I'm so angry and selfish.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Now you can't even stand to be around me.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Listen. Meet me in the Arches in 20 minutes, all right?
0:22:33 > 0:22:34I can't believe you were spying on us!
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Why? Because I caught you out?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38It wasn't my idea, Rox.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Judas!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42If AJ told you to jump off a cliff, would you?
0:22:42 > 0:22:43No.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- No? Right, that's it, you're grounded for two weeks.- What?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47I can make it three if I want.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51OK. You know when you say grounded,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- do you mean in the bedroom?- Yeah.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56How did this turn into that?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58I don't know, but I think we should leave.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Yeah, me too.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Quickly.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06MOBILE RINGS
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Hello?
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Course I can.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Where?
0:23:15 > 0:23:16What if I can't stop her from drinking?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I can't just stand by, can I, and watch my daughter kill herself?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24No-one expects you to have all the answers.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Addiction is extremely hard to break.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31So what do I do?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35You're a mum. You must know how desperate I am.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40There are several options.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Most people detox at home with the help of their families,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47their GP, or perhaps a support group.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50What are the other options?
0:23:51 > 0:23:52There is residential care.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I know how shocking this must be for you.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00It's not an easy decision, and it's certainly not cheap,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02but you and Mr Branning must discuss it
0:24:02 > 0:24:05and decide what's best for Lauren.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07For all of you.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10And I didn't mean to sound judgmental earlier.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13I just know how acrimonious a marriage breakdown can be.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15I got divorced last year.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22If it was your daughter, what would you do?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31It's quite far away, but it's the best place I know.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Glad you called.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Been worried about you.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Can I get you something? Cup of tea?
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Can't stay long.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02I just wanted to explain about yesterday. Lost my head a bit.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04It's being pregnant, you know, hormones,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06it's like being on a rollercoaster.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11But anyway, I feel better today, more myself.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14So I don't need you calling round,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16slipping notes through my door, trying to get in here.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Cos you ain't got the key anymore.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22I've changed the locks.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Permanently.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Understood?
0:25:34 > 0:25:35Jay?
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Jay?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46ALL: Happy birthday!
0:25:46 > 0:25:49# Happy birthday to you
0:25:51 > 0:25:56# Happy birthday to you
0:25:56 > 0:26:01# Happy birthday, dear Abi
0:26:02 > 0:26:07# Happy birthday to you! #
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Wish.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Ahh!
0:26:15 > 0:26:17What did you wish for?
0:26:17 > 0:26:18What do you think?
0:26:20 > 0:26:25I think that you haven't got a bad bone in your body.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29That's what I think.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Aww! So cute!
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Such a sweet boy.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Shut up!
0:26:36 > 0:26:39All right, Trace, have you got change?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Can you keep a secret?
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Not another one.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45I'm a day late.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Are you saying what I think you're saying?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09All right, Tan?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Couldn't get hold of Abi. Left her a message.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13She's probably out with Jay or something.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18What's the matter? Have you heard something?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Babe, why didn't you call me?
0:27:21 > 0:27:22I was just about to...
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Her liver is damaged.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Seriously damaged.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36So that if...
0:27:37 > 0:27:39..if she... Even if...
0:27:41 > 0:27:43It's bad, Max.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47What do you mean, Tan? How bad?
0:27:51 > 0:27:52One more drink could kill her.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Well, then, it's simple. We don't let her drink.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04We watch her. We sit with her. Every night if we have to.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07We're a team, aren't we?
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Tan?
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Course we are.
