0:00:33 > 0:00:35What's all this?
0:00:35 > 0:00:36It's time I moved back in
0:00:36 > 0:00:40and had this place feeling like home again.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44And I thought we could have a house-painting party.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45A what?
0:00:45 > 0:00:47I'd never heard of it, either.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Apparently you can have a party for anything these days.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Yeah, well, I suppose you better come in, then.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Well, we've got the paint,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55the Pinot for later
0:00:55 > 0:00:56and me in an overall.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58What more do you want?
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Let's get started!
0:01:00 > 0:01:02I can't believe you've done all this.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Oh, well, I wanted to put a bit of paint on the walls, you know...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09..and a smile back on your face.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11SHE GIGGLES
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Yes, I'd be careful, Kim, cos those overalls...
0:01:13 > 0:01:14DOORBELL RINGS
0:01:14 > 0:01:17..don't look like they've got a lot of give in them.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Well, I think I'd better go and make a pot of tea,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23the fumes from the paint can be very dehydrating.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26We haven't even taken the lids off yet, Patrick.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Something's happened to Jordan.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31There you are, let's go.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- That's high, isn't it? - So, yep, got it?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35This is about stamina, OK? It's not about speed.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Think of it as a marathon, yeah? Not a sprint!
0:01:38 > 0:01:40You really haven't got to come and watch me train.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Yeah, that way I get to spend more time with you, don't I?
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Think of me as your, like...
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Your little cheerleader.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48S-O-N-I-A!
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Yeah, but it only came available this morning, didn't it?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- I'll see you in a minute.- Well, great, yeah, thanks for nothing!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- We're in the middle of a stretch! - See, she can run when she wants to!
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- You all right?- You all right? - Hello, Lily, how are you doing?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Guess what? I've got a ballet exam after school.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Wow, that's exciting, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Listen, I'm sorry I can't look after Arthur for you today -
0:02:05 > 0:02:07just I'd booked in my first training session with Kush.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I think he really needs this.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Yeah, well, don't worry anyway - Jane said she'll have Arthur.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I just don't want to take him down the hospital, it's too stressful.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Yeah, yeah. How's Stacey doing?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Yeah, she's getting there, isn't she?
0:02:19 > 0:02:20But it's going to take time,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22but...there you go.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Meanwhile, I'm juggling the kids
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and trying to find her a place on a unit, so...
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- I better get going.- All right, I'll see you later.- See you later.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Come on.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33So, let me get this straight -
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Jordan WAS in the hospital, but he isn't now.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Well, he was brought in by ambulance,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41but when he came round, he discharged himself.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44So, you're sure you don't know where he is?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47I mean, this is the address that we have on file for him.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50No, we haven't...
0:02:50 > 0:02:52and he definitely doesn't live here.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54No, he does not.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Right, well then I'm sorry to have bothered you.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00But, he is going to be OK?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03He's not at liberty to give you that kind of information.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Yeah, but they wouldn't have sent them round
0:03:05 > 0:03:06if they weren't worried, right?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I'm afraid...I can't say.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Yeah, all right, Lee!
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Hello, fish boy.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Oh, no tracksuit today? Has somebody died?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Ha, funny!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23No, I've got a trial at The Rat
0:03:23 > 0:03:25for the assistant manager job.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- You sure you want to work there? - Yeah, it's a dive.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29What, and this is glamorous, is it?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Do you know you're going to have to, like,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33bath in disinfectant every night, don't you?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Or at least wear some really strong aftershave.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Anyway, I've got to go. See you later.- Ta-ra.- Bye.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40"Disinfectant" - the cheek.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41It's a joke!
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Yeah, well, her jokes really grate on me sometimes.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Lee, it's a bit of banter.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I wish I had that with my brother.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Well, you can.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50It's not like he's far away, is it?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58You are all right, aren't you, Abi, love?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Yeah, course, why?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I dunno, call it intuition.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I've got a bit of a sixth sense for these things.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09That and the special ain't "shepherd's pee"!
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Sorry,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15I didn't get much sleep last night.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Ooh, really?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19No, Babe, nothing like that -
0:04:19 > 0:04:20the opposite, actually.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Ben didn't come home.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Oh, you poor love.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26He ought to let you know when he gets lucky.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Stop you worrying all night when he doesn't come back.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30When he gets lucky?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35As long as you're both getting a bit of what you fancy,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37there's no harm in it.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42We used to call it being each other's "beard" in my day.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45On the surface, you're in a normal relationship,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47but in secret, you're a couple of ginger beers.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Ginger beer?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I'm not a lesbian!
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Well, I bet I'm not the only one round here who thinks so -
0:04:53 > 0:04:56and it ain't the comfy shoes, Abi.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Why else would you let your fella carry on the way Ben does?
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Hmm?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07There you go.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Tuck in!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I know what estate he's on,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I could always go and check he's OK.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Denise, please don't get sucked in.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16It sounds like this boy needs guidance.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17They do at this age.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19This one certainly did.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Yeah, well, this isn't Denise's problem.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Then whose problem is he?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Look, you start letting him into your life,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27you're letting him into all of our lives.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I've got Pearl to think about.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I mean, that boy's bad news.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Yeah, maybe you're right.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I'm just getting carried away again.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Why don't we just concentrate on getting our house in order, eh?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Mm-hmm.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Yep.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Do you know what this is missing?- What?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Some nice cream buns.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Well, that's it. Let me go and get us some cakes from the caff,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56while you lot get this place sorted, yeah?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Yeah.- And biscuits! - And iced fingers.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01And maybe make a start in Patrick's bedroom?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03And that way, you know,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05you make a mess of it, it's hidden.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07THEY LAUGH
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- Cheeky.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Patrick, what colour?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17There's that one...
0:06:17 > 0:06:19and then there's this one.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Does it ever bother you that you're not married?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27No.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Not really.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I'm used to my own company these days.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34But maybe, for some people,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37having someone will always be better than having no-one...
0:06:37 > 0:06:40no matter how the "someone" treats them.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Well, he does love me, you know.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Ben can still be gay and love me.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48It's a lot for you to turn a blind eye to though, ain't it?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Well, what choice do I have?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I'm not exactly a catwalk model, am I?
0:06:52 > 0:06:53And this doesn't help.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56A neck brace and lingerie - it's not exactly a good look, is it?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Ben's a very lucky boy.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I think you're lovely...
0:07:03 > 0:07:05..with your beautiful blonde hair.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07They say gentlemen prefer blondes.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Not that I've ever found that to be true.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12They prefer the exotic brunettes in my experience -
0:07:12 > 0:07:13the Laurens, the Sylvies.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Maybe it's time I just got a bit of self-respect and finished with Ben.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Is that what you want?
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Well, of course not.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22I love him.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Then you'll do no such thing.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26He's a man, Abi,
0:07:26 > 0:07:27they don't know what they want -
0:07:27 > 0:07:29which is why you have to show them.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30And how do I do that?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Well, we could do a lot worse
0:07:32 > 0:07:35than get his mum to fight your corner for a start.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Stacey?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I've got Martin here to see you.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Hi, Stace.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46How you feeling?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I keep hearing kids laughing, but from far away.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I was worried that I might be imagining it.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55No, they're real all right -
0:07:55 > 0:07:57visiting their mum.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I've got the felt tip marks to prove it.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Your psychosis is under control, Stacey.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06You just need to start believing it.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17I didn't bring the kids today, Stace, I'm sorry.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I definitely will next time, I promise.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22They're really missing you.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24It's fine, Martin, I don't want them here.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Abi's just gone and burnt an oven-load of baking spuds.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Oh, what, she's working over there now, is she?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Yeah, she's keen to save for her future.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Not that Ben seems to care as much about it.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Oh, yeah? And why do you say that?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Sorry, you're probably not the right person to be saying this to.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Yeah, well, maybe I'm exactly the right person to be saying it to.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Look, if Abi and Ben have had a falling out...
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Oh, not a falling out exactly.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Well, what then?- Let's just say...
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Abi wants a fella who'll take her out dancing
0:08:54 > 0:08:55instead of leaving her at home
0:08:55 > 0:08:58while he's off all night doing the hokey-coker.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03That's right.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Alice band over there's been leading him down the rabbit hole.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I've given my own mum a bath.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17There ain't many people that can say that.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18No.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21You shouldn't have to bath your mum...
0:09:21 > 0:09:22or feed her with a spoon.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28You shouldn't have to see your mum in a place like this.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29I don't want that for my kids.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31What's the alternative, then?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33That you just don't see them until you get out?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37This place is really scary when you're little, Martin.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38I don't want them here.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Yeah, but...
0:09:44 > 0:09:47..you're the centre of their world.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48They need you, Stace.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50They need you to be their mum.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53But I can't be, not while I'm in here.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55That's why I'm going to get you out.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57These mother and baby units, they're equipped for kids.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Arthur will love it
0:09:59 > 0:10:01and I'll bring Lily to see you every day.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04You really think they're going to find me a place?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I'm going to make sure they do.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I thought maybe you'd washed your hands of me.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11You're my brother.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Nothing's going to change that.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16And what will Saint Mick have to say about you coming here?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- He's a decent bloke, you know. - He's the reason why I'm in here.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20You stole his money.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Anyway, I got your letter.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26You said it's a fresh start for you - a chance to clear your name.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- That's good.- Yeah, well...
0:10:28 > 0:10:32let's not waste our time talking about him,
0:10:32 > 0:10:33let's talk about you.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37That Lee treating you right, is he?
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Yeah, course he is.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41He's been a bit down lately, though...
0:10:41 > 0:10:42and the thing with Mick is...
0:10:42 > 0:10:46he thinks too much into things and he gets himself into a dark place.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Mick?
0:10:47 > 0:10:48What?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50You said Mick.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Did I? I obviously meant Lee.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55What?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57His name's on the tip of your tongue, isn't it?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59We were just talking about him!
0:10:59 > 0:11:01All right.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- As long as that's all it is, Whit. - Oh, Ryan, don't even go there.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07I just said his name, so what?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I live with the bloke.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10All right...
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I'm sorry.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Me and Lee are solid, OK?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Good.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Listen, if Lee's having a hard time...
0:11:20 > 0:11:22..just find a way to help him.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10Look, Stacey needs to get in a mother and baby unit - like, now.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12There must be something I can do.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19a unit in Chelmsford MIGHT have a bed available.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- It would mean further to travel. - No, I don't mind that.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23When are you going to know?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26They're making a decision on the place later today.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Well, maybe I should go down there, speak to them face-to-face,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31tell them just how much Stacey needs this.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37- ..certainly won't do any harm. - Yeah?
0:12:39 > 0:12:40DOOR BEEPS
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Son... Thank you.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44..yeah, it's me.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Listen, would you be able to do me a massive favour?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Do you think you'd be able to pick the kids up tonight?
0:12:49 > 0:12:53MUSIC BLARES AND DOG BARKS
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Jordan!
0:13:04 > 0:13:06We could've gone upstairs for a sandwich.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Lee, it's no way to celebrate your first day.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I've gone from serving my country to gutting fish for a living,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I'm not exactly in the mood to celebrate.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15How's Ryan?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Yeah, he's all right, considering.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Just got to look on the bright side, ain't you?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Here she is.- All right! - How did it go, then?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Yeah, it was all right! - How was Thelma?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Double filth, ain't she?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- She won't be the worst boss I've ever had...- Oi!
0:13:28 > 0:13:31..but not all landladies can be classy like Mother, can they?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Aww, thank you, baby girl.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Well, you've done a bit better than bomb-head over there,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37he ruined Dot's trotters with some fish guts.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- You didn't!- You should've heard her. - It don't matter, Lee.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42It's all right to make mistakes while you're learning.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I'd have charged her extra for them!
0:13:44 > 0:13:47And that, my little beaut, is why you're a chip off the old block.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49You know what?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52She might not even get this job.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Well, there's no reason why she wouldn't.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Well, look, no-one saw me if that's what you're worried about.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01I just...
0:14:01 > 0:14:03came to check if you were OK.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Look closely, Denise,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06and you can see the pattern of some guy's trainer -
0:14:06 > 0:14:08so, no, I'm not OK.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09So, go to the police...
0:14:09 > 0:14:11or at least get yourself checked over at the hospital.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13If I do either of those things,
0:14:13 > 0:14:14then this is going to look like NOTHING
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- compared to what happens next.- So, what are you going to do?- Leave.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I only came here to pick up some money a guy owes me.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23What?
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Is that what you wanted off me?
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Money?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33SHE SCOFFS
0:14:33 > 0:14:34So, what were you going to do?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Were you going to...steal it off me, like you did off Chelsea?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Of course not! Of course not.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I would have paid you back.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Wow.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Wow.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47It's unbelievable.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52What is it about me...
0:14:52 > 0:14:55that I'm on every low life's "mug" radar at the moment?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Well, no, not this time.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Sit down, Denise.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06So, what are you going to do? Are you going to stop me from leaving?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Now who does THAT remind you of? - I am nothing like him.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15The only thing stopping me from getting another kicking
0:15:15 > 0:15:17is the fact that no-one knows I'm here.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20So, you can go as soon as it's dark, yeah?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25No.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28No.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30I'm going to go now.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I have had my fill...
0:15:34 > 0:15:37of mad men ordering me around...
0:15:39 > 0:15:41..so I guess...
0:15:42 > 0:15:46..we're just going to have to see how much like your dad...
0:15:47 > 0:15:48..you really are.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56SIREN WAILS
0:16:14 > 0:16:16We're pretty much done in there,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18so we can...
0:16:19 > 0:16:21We can start upstairs if you wish.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23No, no, no. We'll wait for Denise.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29- You still can't get hold of her? - No, her phone is still switched off.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Well, clearly she wanted to do this by herself,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34otherwise she wouldn't have crept out.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Look, she's going to be all right, she's a tough one.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41No, no, no. She's not as tough as she thinks she is.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Paul, have you got a sec?
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Yeah, sure. What's up?
0:16:49 > 0:16:50It's about Ben.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53What about him?
0:16:53 > 0:16:58Well, I think him and Abi are having a bit of a hard time at the mo'.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but what's it got to do with me?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Are you really going to make me say it?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Honestly, I've got no idea what you're talking about.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Ben! He didn't come home last night.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17And you think that he'd be with the only other gay in the village?
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Course not...
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- ..but you are a distraction to him. - A distraction?!
0:17:23 > 0:17:24All right, Kathy.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Everything OK?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Yeah, fine.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31No, no, you don't have to hide anything from my nan.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33She thinks me and Ben were together last night,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36but I've ended it until he can finish things with Abi.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39But then, where was Ben last night?
0:17:39 > 0:17:40I wish I knew!
0:17:40 > 0:17:42He's said they weren't together...
0:17:42 > 0:17:46and, frankly, I think it's Ben you should be talking to, not Paul.
0:17:46 > 0:17:52Nobody could want these two boys seeing less of each other than me...
0:17:52 > 0:17:55and not because I care a jot about Abi and Ben -
0:17:55 > 0:17:58because my Paul deserves better
0:17:58 > 0:18:01than being messed around by a silly, confused boy
0:18:01 > 0:18:02who isn't fit to clean his boots!
0:18:10 > 0:18:12What kind of life are you living, Jordan?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Holed up here...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18..involved in gangs and drugs.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25If you'd been there for me once...
0:18:26 > 0:18:27..in the last five years,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29then maybe you'd have the right to judge my life.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30I'm not judging you.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35You don't even know anything about me.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38It's not even me who takes them...
0:18:39 > 0:18:40..it's my girlfriend.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Girlfriend?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Well, I can't wait to meet her(!)
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Coming home soon, is she?
0:18:52 > 0:18:53No.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Amelle ain't never coming home.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00She's dead.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07- Hi.- Hi.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Hello, soldier. - How'd it go?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12The place had already gone before I even got there,
0:19:12 > 0:19:16so I spent all day in traffic for absolutely nothing.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Oh.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Where's Lily?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- She's in her room.- Yeah?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22She ain't very happy, she thought you'd be at the ballet exam.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26The ballet exam! Yeah, brilliant.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28I completely forgot.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Lily?
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Come here, babe.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Oh, look at you.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Come here.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I'm so sorry.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39How did it go?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41She was fantastic, weren't you?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43And the teacher reckons she definitely passed.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46See? Look at that! Well done, Lily, well done.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49That's a pass for you and...
0:19:49 > 0:19:50a fail for me!
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I've never met anyone like Amelle before.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00So brainy and brave.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02So, what happened between the two of you?
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Why did you split up?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07She used to hang around the kind of guys
0:20:07 > 0:20:09that I used to stay clear from.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Said it's cos they were tight in school.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Truth is...
0:20:15 > 0:20:18she was hooked on crack...
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- and they were supplying. - Oh, Jordan.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23After everything you've been through with Treena.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27She'd go into rehab and do great,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30but they were always waiting for her when she came out.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32They never wanted her to get better.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Of course they didn't.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Scum like that, they're only ever after the cash.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42She wasn't paying for her drugs with cash, Denise.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Oh.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I booked a... I booked a couple of flights to Spain.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I thought, "Maybe, I can get her away from them,"
0:20:49 > 0:20:51but she just got high
0:20:51 > 0:20:52and she wouldn't go.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55We ended up fighting and I went alone.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57And that's when you saw Chelsea?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I'm not normally a thief...
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I swear, I just... I thought, maybe if I can get enough money together,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09then I could pay the dealers off.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I'm guessing that you didn't.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13No.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I got back, Amelle was gone.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I asked around, but no-one had seen her...
0:21:19 > 0:21:20..and eventually, I...
0:21:21 > 0:21:23..found out she'd overdosed.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Oh, Jordan, I'm so sorry.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32They paid me my first visit shortly after...
0:21:32 > 0:21:34told me that Amelle's debt was now mine.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- And you couldn't afford to pay.- No.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39And that was before they started adding on interest.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Where are you going to go?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I've got a mate who lives in North London.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50I'm going to crash on his sofa for a bit.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- That doesn't sound like much of a plan.- I don't see you offering anything better, Denise.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Erm...
0:22:00 > 0:22:03You staying at mine...
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Well, that isn't going to work out.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12You see me...
0:22:13 > 0:22:15..and you think of him.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It's cool.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24That's the last thing I'd want, anyway.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25I'm not looking for a mother,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I've coped this long without one.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35OK, look,
0:22:35 > 0:22:39you just need some money to help you get started again.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41It's fine, I'll get you some.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- I promise I'll pay you back... - No, that doesn't matter.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45..but it has to be today...
0:22:45 > 0:22:47I can't risk going any longer,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I'm surprised they haven't got me already.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51GLASS SMASHES
0:22:51 > 0:22:52What was that?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Jordan, there's someone in the flat.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Pam...
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I'm sorry about earlier.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05I had no right to say that to Paul.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06I'm just...
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I'm just worried about Ben.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I could swing for him, I really could.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Course you could.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Stopping yourself swinging for them is half the battle.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18But there's a whole world out there waiting to be cruel,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21which is why we end up giving them a hug.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Oh, Paul, I'm so sorry.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Yeah, it's already been forgotten about.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Right...
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- I better go.- Are you sure?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36You're very welcome to join us.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Yeah. OK, yeah, I'd like that.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Good.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43Right, well, what are you drinking?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Vodka and tonic, please.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Thank you.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51All right, Whit, so...
0:23:51 > 0:23:54why are we here and why am I all tarted up?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56You wouldn't have come to The Rat.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58What?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01All right!
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Oh, excuse me.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Oh, behave.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Well, you've certainly got one advantage over your sister.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12So, why do you want this job?
0:24:12 > 0:24:13What? Eh?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Not exactly a tricky one.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Thank God he's good looking!
0:24:17 > 0:24:19THEY LAUGH
0:24:19 > 0:24:23So, why do you think you'd make a good assistant manager?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Well, I'm good with people, I suppose,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29and I definitely know my way around a bar.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33And you do know The Rat is not exactly The Ritz?
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Well, yeah, I like to think I can handle myself -
0:24:35 > 0:24:37so drunks won't be a problem.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38He was in the army.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Oh! You still got the uniform?
0:24:41 > 0:24:42I'm only kidding!
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Right, well, I think I've heard enough.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Yeah, I'm willing to give you a trial,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50but I warn you, your sister's going to be a tough act to follow.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Now, I'll get some drinks in, shall I?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56And you can tell me why you're the better Carter.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58THEY LAUGH
0:24:58 > 0:24:59Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Well done. You're doing brilliantly.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06What about Nancy?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08What about Nancy?
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Lee, if you want your family
0:25:09 > 0:25:12to treat you with even a bit of respect,
0:25:12 > 0:25:13you've got to take control.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16You've got to look after yourself.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18She's lovely, ain't she?
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Yeah.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- Is she OK?- Yeah.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I've promised I'll take her out.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29You know, make it up to her.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Listen, thanks for staying behind,
0:25:31 > 0:25:32putting Arthur to bed.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I think she just needed me to herself tonight, you know?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Yeah, it's fine.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Are you going to be OK?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Look, you know, Son,
0:25:40 > 0:25:41I've spent so much time
0:25:41 > 0:25:43trying to find Stacey a unit,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45that I've completely neglected Lily and Arthur.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48And not to mention Bex and the stall.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50There's not enough of you to go round, is there?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Yeah, well, from now on,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55I'm going to focus on the kids.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Everything else is just going to have to wait.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Oh, hiya.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02I wasn't expecting to see you.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04It's a little treat, then!
0:26:04 > 0:26:06No, I've come to meet my mum,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- have you seen her? - Yeah, she's over there.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Oh.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- See ya.- See ya.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- You look tired. Big night, was it? - What are you talking about?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I'm waiting for you to finish with her
0:26:17 > 0:26:18and you're putting it out in Soho.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22My nan was right about you, I can do so much better.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24How do you know it's going to work?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Cos if there's one thing you can say about them,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28it's that they love their mums.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Well, I don't want Ben just to stay with me to make Kathy happy.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Hey, don't get all sentimental on me.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Some girls get everything they want in life,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38then there are those of us who have to work a bit harder.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53to interfere in your life, but...
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Ben, you need to promise me that you'll stop meeting strangers.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57It's just not safe.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59I know, Mum. I promise.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Not to mention stringing poor Abi and Paul along.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03I mean, that just isn't fair.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Which is why I'm going to finish it with her.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11And tell them what?
0:27:11 > 0:27:12Huh?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14That a grown woman has made a decision
