0:00:36 > 0:00:38WOLF WHISTLE
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Look at her - she's got no idea.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Come on, bro.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52I can still hear the crowd going wild. "Go, Kim! Go, Kim!
0:00:52 > 0:00:57"Go Kim!" And the cheering as I crossed that finish line.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Yeah!
0:01:01 > 0:01:06It was the best pancake race Walford has ever seen.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Wasn't it?
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Obviously Ian kind of ruined the vibe with his heart attack,
0:01:11 > 0:01:15or whatever... but still, the day was mine.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Ian did not have a heart attack.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20If he had, they'd have taken him to the hospital.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Finally, she speaks!
0:01:22 > 0:01:25You've had your head in that thing ever since we got here.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28I've got to do some work, ain't I? I've got an exam coming up.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I'd say you've got bigger things to worry about, don't you?
0:01:31 > 0:01:36- Mm-hm.- Have you heard from that weasel from head office?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Yes, yes, yes, I knew there must be a real reason for you to be here.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- To check up on me. - I'm just worried!
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Well, if you must know, no,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45I haven't heard anything - which for me, must be a good sign.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47If they wanted to fire me, they would have done it by now,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49wouldn't they?
0:01:49 > 0:01:50PHONE RINGS
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Is that him?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57No, no, no, it's my social worker.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Hello?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Yeah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09OK.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32I'll head over there now.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Cos Trish says I should get there as soon as I can.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37But you've only just spoken to her.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I'm sure you don't have to do it today.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40What have I missed?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Trish just called, you know, my social worker - she says
0:02:43 > 0:02:46the consent forms have arrived from the family court.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49So we can start the process of signing over my rights to...
0:02:50 > 0:02:52to the new parents.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Maybe you should take a bit more time to think about it.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58My hormones are all back to normal -
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I know what I'm doing, you know.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Yeah, but what about all this business with the Minute Mart?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- You've got a lot on your mind, you know.- Exactly, which is why
0:03:05 > 0:03:07I don't want it all hanging over my head.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Patrick, don't you think that she should just leave it for a bit?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Until all the other stuff is sorted?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15This is Denise's decision, not yours.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17All right, well, at least let me drive you.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20No, no, I'll be fine - you've got Pearl to look after, ain't you?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Yeah, but it's no problem - I can just drop her off with
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Vincent and we can just head straight over to the social, yeah?
0:03:31 > 0:03:32How did it go with Agnes?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34She didn't know that we'd kept the pub open?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Nah, she didn't have a clue.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38All we've got to do is that bit of plastering
0:03:38 > 0:03:40and Environmental Health will swerve us.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43See, I knew it would all work out right in the end.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Yeah, we took double our usual takings on Tuesday.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47- Amazing!- That's all down to you, that is.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Getting that permit from the council. Well done, girl.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52No, it's down to all of us, proper group effort.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Have we made enough money to keep Konrad off your back for a bit?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Well, even if we have, we've still got to pay that fine.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01And looking at this... you know, we ain't even touching the sides.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Why don't you ask the bank for a loan?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05They won't touch us with a barge pole.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Look, come on, Mick, you've been a loyal customer for years.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Get one of those advisers round here,
0:04:09 > 0:04:11show 'em what a successful business you've got.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13They must be able to do something to help.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Blimey, it's unlike you to suggest something legal, ain't it!
0:04:16 > 0:04:17I'm as straight as a die.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20As it happens, what harm can it do calling the bank?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22What have we got to lose, Mother?
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Please let me go with you.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I told you, I'll be fine.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36But what if something happens when you're in there?
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Like what?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41I don't know... maybe you'll change your mind.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45It's not too late.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I'm not going to change my mind.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54OK. Well, if you're 100% sure this is what you want...
0:04:57 > 0:05:01..then I'm here for you. You know that, right?
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Thank you.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35PRINTER WHIRS
0:05:50 > 0:05:52OK, so you'll sign here
0:05:52 > 0:05:57and then I witness it over the page there, OK?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00You really didn't have to come in today, it would have been
0:06:00 > 0:06:02no bother to pop it in the post.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Yeah, well, I just thought it was best to do, sort of...
0:06:04 > 0:06:06get it over and done with.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08You shouldn't feel you have to rush this.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Once you've signed those documents, it will start to become
0:06:12 > 0:06:14much more complicated if you change your mind.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Why do people think that I'm going to change my mind?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24I'm sorry, it's just that my sister just said exactly
0:06:24 > 0:06:25the same thing in the car.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28She's probably just worried about you.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30How have things been at home?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32What do you mean?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Are you sleeping well? Eating properly?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39You under any stress?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41No more than usual.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44It's just important for you to know that you can take
0:06:44 > 0:06:45all the time you need.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Yeah, well, I've been going over this for months
0:06:48 > 0:06:51and I just want to get on with the rest of my life.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I'm making the right decision.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Thank you.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11BELL RINGS
0:07:11 > 0:07:12HE MAKES SMOOCHING NOISES
0:07:14 > 0:07:16HE LAUGHS
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Bex?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Bex, can we talk?
0:07:24 > 0:07:25What about?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28There's something that you need to see. Come on.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34WOLF WHISTLING
0:07:46 > 0:07:48As I said on the phone,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51there's something else I wanted to talk to you about.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54It's from your son's carers. They asked me to give it to you.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04We could read it together.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I don't have another appointment until after lunch.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10No, I'll read it at home, if that's all right.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Course, no pressure.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20DOOR CLOSES
0:08:23 > 0:08:25I thought you would have seen it by now.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Who would do something like this?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Was it you?!
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- How could you think that? - After everything that happened...
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Look, I'm trying to be a friend, all right?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36That's why I showed it to you.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38You've got to take it to the head.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Oi, Shakil, we've got to go.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44It was him, wasn't it?
0:08:44 > 0:08:48He's the only person sick enough to make something like that.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Shakil!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I'll see you later.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Thanks so much for coming in so promptly.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08As I said, feel free to give me a ring any time,
0:09:08 > 0:09:12if you want to talk about the letter, or anything else.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Just get out of the way!
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Let me do it, let me do it.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17BABY CRIES
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Are you sure there's nothing you want to ask me?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27CRYING CONTINUES
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Oh, Ian.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Have you...?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50have you been writing a will?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57DENISE SIGHS
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- How did it go?- Fine.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11What's that?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13It's from the new parents.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17You going to open it?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Well, it's addressed to me AND the father,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23so I'd better check with him first before I open it.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Hang on, I thought you weren't in contact with the dad.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I'm not.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31So he doesn't know about Ray?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Denise, you told me you didn't tell him!- I didn't.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38And that is the honest truth.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45But he... He did find out, just after Ray was born.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46What?!
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Ah!
0:10:54 > 0:10:56There's a nugget and 30p.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58There you go, babe.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I've settled Mum in front of the telly. Johnny's going to keep
0:11:01 > 0:11:04an eye on her. I'm going to pop over to Patrick's for a bit of lunch.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05OK, sweet as.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09I spoke to the bank. They're sending over an adviser tomorrow.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10What time they coming?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I'll wear me leather jacket - and scare the money out of them!
0:11:13 > 0:11:15That was a joke, Mick! I'll be on me best behaviour.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19No, I know. I didn't think you was going to want to sit in...
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I'm not going to let you do it on your own!
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Well, that's why I've asked Whitney...
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Cos she was so good at charming the council for that permit, you know.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I thought, you know, sitting with a geezer from the bank would be
0:11:28 > 0:11:30the last thing you'd want to do, you know?
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Can't think of anything worse(!)
0:11:35 > 0:11:40I'm going over Patrick's for lunch - all right if I take a bottle from the stores?
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Cheers(!)
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Why are you doing all this? You've already got a will!
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I needed to make some amendments.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Was it really necessary to divide all your kitchen knives out
0:11:56 > 0:11:58amongst the whole family?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- They were expensive.- And why are you giving the fruit bowl to Martin?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Because of Auntie Pauline. - That's our wedding present!
0:12:06 > 0:12:09No offence, love, but I don't think Ben's going to want your wardrobe.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11There's some quality items in there!
0:12:11 > 0:12:14And it's not like he's going to get anything from his father, is it?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16SHE LAUGHS
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Look, if you're just going to...
0:12:17 > 0:12:20No, no, no, I will take it seriously, I promise. I promise...
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Yeah, I'm sure your mum's going to love Lou's crockery collection or
0:12:23 > 0:12:25whatever's left of it.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28SHE SNIGGERS
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Ian, you've made a meticulous list of all of our tat but you haven't
0:12:31 > 0:12:35said anything about the businesses, or the rest of our assets...
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Because I know if something does happen to me, then you'll take care of all that stuff.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Ian, you are not dying. You've got nothing to worry about, love.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52You don't tell me anything! How many more secrets are you hiding?
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Kim, why do you have to make such a big deal out of everything?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58You're always going on...
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- Hey...- What's all this?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Well, we just thought we'd rustle up a little something for when
0:13:03 > 0:13:06you get home, just to show our support.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Yeah, well, you didn't really have to go to all this trouble...
0:13:10 > 0:13:11It's no bother at all.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Kim...
0:13:13 > 0:13:15How you holding up?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I'm OK, thanks. The social worker, she's talked me through everything.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Yeah, it's really very straightforward.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Kim, what are you having? A little of everything, I suppose?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32No, I'm not hungry...
0:13:32 > 0:13:35No, come on, now, man, what about a little lasagne?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38It good, you know - if I may say so myself!
0:13:38 > 0:13:40All right, just a little bit.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43All right. There you go.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Not that small, that's like a child's portion!
0:13:45 > 0:13:48You'll have a big bit, Denise, yeah?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Er...
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Go on, yeah. Listen, you will not believe what happened this morning.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59These three drunk girls got out of a taxi - clearly had not been
0:13:59 > 0:14:01home the night before.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03And one of them...
0:14:03 > 0:14:06she relieved herself right by the fruit and veg stall.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11I mean, I screamed at her. It is a health and safety hazard!
0:14:11 > 0:14:13I had to hose the place down afterwards -
0:14:13 > 0:14:16the smell was scaring all the customers off.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18KNOCK AT DOOR Oh, that'll be Shirl!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23All right?
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Please don't do this...
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Sorry I'm late.- Here you are, I've brought these.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Sit down, Shirl. Lasagne?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33No, thanks. I'll stick to the booze.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Does Mick know that you cleared out his stock?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I don't care what Mick thinks, and he don't care what I think.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42You two had a falling-out or something?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Well, it was my idea to have a meeting with the bank manager.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46And, you know, now he don't want me there,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49he wants Whitney there instead. What's she got that I ain't?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- People skills? - Youthful good looks?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53A nice personality?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57All I wanted to do was let Mick know that I'm there for him.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00I know how you feel - I'm always trying to do stuff for Kush
0:15:00 > 0:15:03and Shaki and I just end up getting in the way.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06They don't understand. They mean everything in the world to me.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09There's nothing I wouldn't do for my boys.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Shirl, pour us a drink, will you?
0:15:11 > 0:15:12It's not like I've got work to do, is it?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Don't rub it in.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I miss drinking in the afternoon.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Right, cheers.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Cheers.- Cheers.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24We're not celebrating!
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Denise has just signed away her rights to her baby.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30I won't get to see little Ray again.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Ray?- Yeah, that's what the new parents have called him.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Ray - that's a nice, solid name.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Can we talk about something else, please?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42You know she's still in contact with the father?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44He knows everything about the baby!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48What, you knew that?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Am I the only one that's still in the dark?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Oh, Kim, this isn't like it's some sort of big conspiracy, you know.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56I'm sorry, OK,
0:15:56 > 0:16:00that I haven't told you every little detail about my private life.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03It's not like you've never kept anything from me, though, is it?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I tell you everything!
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Oh, yeah? Yeah, like when you married Vincent - or when you was pregnant
0:16:08 > 0:16:11with Pearl? Didn't keep that a secret at all, did you(?)
0:16:11 > 0:16:13At least read the letter.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Don't you want to know that Ray's OK?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18The new parents have sent you a letter?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Yeah, and she doesn't want to open it!
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Look, won't it make you feel better about everything,
0:16:30 > 0:16:34knowing that he's OK - and that he's with the right people?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47WOLF WHISTLE
0:16:47 > 0:16:49All right, Bex?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Hey. Can I...can I sit here?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02You sure you want to sit with us?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Yeah.- It's just now you're a porn star,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07we thought you'd want to sit in the VIP section.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09THEY LAUGH
0:17:14 > 0:17:17It's not like it's actually me in the video.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Well, there ain't no smoke without no fire now, is there?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Fine, I'll go sit somewhere else.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35All right, Bex, how's it going?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Does it make you feel big? Picking on people?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43I ain't the one who's been sending "private" photos round school.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Is it because your mum doesn't love you?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Or maybe it's because you've got nothing going on down there.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54You know what? I'll let you see it, if you ask nicely.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Are you really just going to sit there and let him talk to me like that?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06A friend? You're just a pathetic little boy.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Well, don't leave me hanging!
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Like I said earlier, it would be wrong opening
0:18:19 > 0:18:22the letter without the dad,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25because it's, you know, addressed to both of us.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30So you're going to let him know, then, about the letter?
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Whoever he may be.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I guess I probably should, yeah.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37No, no, no, no, you don't have to do anything at all if it's going to
0:18:37 > 0:18:39make you uncomfortable.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41If you'd rather not contact him.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Yeah, well, it's the right thing to do.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46You've changed your tune.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48You didn't want anything to do with the dad at first.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Well, he wanted it, too.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Yeah, cos you changed his mind.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57How come she knows more about the dad than I do?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Do you know who he is?!
0:18:59 > 0:19:03No! I don't.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Look, I know you're worried about seeing the GP - but you just
0:19:13 > 0:19:16had a dizzy spell, that does not equal "certain death."
0:19:16 > 0:19:17I collapsed in the street.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Now, I'm certain that is not a sign of someone who is
0:19:20 > 0:19:22a pillar of good health.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25You probably just need to do a bit more exercise.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29And maybe don't eat so many doughnuts.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32What's the point of being healthy if I'm going to die anyway?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35How many times...? You are not dying!
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I lied to the nurse, all right?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40I told her that I ran regularly and I had a healthy diet.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Well, I think she probably guessed that that's an exaggeration.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46I mean, she said my BMI was through the roof.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50All right, "higher than average," but neither one of them's good.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I'm sure if it was something really serious, they would
0:19:53 > 0:19:58have phoned or texted you about the results by now.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Yeah. Yeah, you're probably right, love.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05You need to try and put this to the back of your mind. You've got your birthday drinks tomorrow!
0:20:07 > 0:20:10We've been through so much together, Ian.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15It doesn't matter what the GP says, there's nothing we can't face.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Don't you think we've all had enough?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Oh, leave off, we don't want all this going to waste!
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I totally agree. Cheers.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Cheers!
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Kim, you sure you don't want some?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40It might help you lighten up for a bit.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42THEY SNIGGER
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Lighten up?!
0:20:43 > 0:20:46I've just found out that my sister would rather share her secrets
0:20:46 > 0:20:49with an alcoholic, bottle-blonde battle-axe than with me!
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Who you calling a bottle blonde?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Look at the time! I need to get back to work.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57You, too, Shirl.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00No, I ain't got a shift till later.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I think we should go.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Fine, but I'm going to take this with me.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08See you later.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12I'll...I'll have mine later.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Do give me a ring if you need to talk.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Yeah, and thanks for all this.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20That's what friends are for.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I've just remembered there's something I need.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Oh, look, before you start,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37I'm not in the mood for any kind of argument, all right?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I don't understand it.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45You would rather tell Shirley who the dad is than tell me.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Look, it's not like I confided in Shirley - she thought it was
0:21:48 > 0:21:51someone else and I've just put her straight.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53So who did she think it was? Someone round here?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58She did, didn't she?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00It's no-one around here.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04I think the lady doth protest too much.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07You see, you ain't the only one who can quote Shakespeare.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Why can't you just let this go? - Cos I'm your sister!
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Well, not technically...
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Is that why you feel that you can't talk to me?
0:22:25 > 0:22:29No, Kim, I feel like I can't talk to you because if I did,
0:22:29 > 0:22:34it'd be all over the Square in five minutes flat.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38OK, fine.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44If you won't tell me who the dad is, I'll find out myself.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53DOOR CLOSES
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Is that you, Martin?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Oh, hey... I didn't know you'd be home for lunch.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05I just popped back to take a break from the gardening.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Why aren't you at school?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Well, I thought I felt fine this morning - but as the day went
0:23:09 > 0:23:11on I just felt worse.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- You sure there's nothing else? - Like what?
0:23:14 > 0:23:18I don't know, you just...you seem a bit stressed.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21You get your mock results back soon, don't you?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24They're the last thing on my mind at the moment.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Well, has something happened with Shaki?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29No, no, it's nothing to do with him.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32I promise. I just need to get some sleep.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34I'm sure I'll be fine tomorrow.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36OK, if you're sure.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I'll ring the school and let them know that you won't be coming in
0:23:39 > 0:23:41for the rest of the day.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Thank you.
0:23:43 > 0:23:49Bex, you know you can always talk to me. I'm here.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Cor, you've sucked the life out of them boys, ain't you?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01All right, Mother?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03You know I love you, don't you?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Yes. A bit smashed, are we?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Well, might have had a little drink at lunchtime.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15Look, Mick, I just want to do my bit and help out around here.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I know you do, Mum. I know.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- As it happens, there is something you can do.- Is there?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Yeah, I know you ain't working till tonight but there's
0:24:23 > 0:24:26a barrel that needs changing and I'd love it if you'd do it.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29So you trust her to talk to the bank but I'm just the dogsbody?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32No. No, you said you didn't want to talk to the bank...
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It's the principle!
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Shirl, look, I don't mean to tread on your toes, but I am just trying to help.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Yeah, well, you need to remember that you're not actually part of this family.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Mother, of course she is.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Just like I'm part of Linda's, remember?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Elaine took me in when I had no-one else -
0:24:48 > 0:24:50she made me the publican I am today.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I'm a terrible mother!- You know that's not what I meant.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I'll go and change the barrel, shall I(?)
0:25:06 > 0:25:08SHE SOBS
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I'm sorry I left you with Kim.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36You know, I just thought I'd give the both of you some space.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47You want me to open that up for you?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I'm sure it will put your mind at ease.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Why don't people get it?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59There's no point now.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Why not?
0:26:04 > 0:26:08How could they call my baby "Ray"?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Of all the names they could have picked.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Come on, it's not that bad.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- It's just not...what - I- wanted to call him.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Yeah, but I mean, you don't want to
0:26:22 > 0:26:26be involved in his life...do you?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28This is going to sound stupid...
0:26:30 > 0:26:34But I saw this couple - they were screaming at each other at
0:26:34 > 0:26:36the Social...
0:26:37 > 0:26:40They had a mixed-race baby.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44I know deep down it couldn't have been my son.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49But I can't stop thinking,
0:26:49 > 0:26:52"What if they've given him to a really horrible family?"
0:26:52 > 0:26:55I'm sure he is going to lead a very happy life.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59You don't know that. He could have a terrible childhood.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01He could end up like that kid Keegan!
0:27:04 > 0:27:06And now there's nothing I can do about it.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30I've made my decision - now I just have to try and live with it.
