0:00:29 > 0:00:31It's all right, baby. Nearly done.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Ow!
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Why don't you pick on some other mug?
0:00:44 > 0:00:4660 quid?! Are you joking?
0:00:46 > 0:00:50That's not what they said when I booked. I'll be having words.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Come on, Ollie.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58It woke me up at five.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Good job an' all, now there's two more leaks.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02I thought the ceiling was going to cave in.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06There's still time. Forecast reckons there's more on the way.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Don't. That'd be just our luck if they're right for once.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Right, get rid of this lot, lively.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13What? Dad, I'm sure you've done a good job up there but...
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Your mother's downstairs.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Why?- I don't know, do I? I don't know.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22Leave off. Right, I-I-I-I... I'll just keep her out of here...
0:01:22 > 0:01:24L? You're back.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Hello.- I missed you.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Yeah, I missed you. - Nothing's happened, has it?
0:01:31 > 0:01:36No, no. Not my end anyway. I had a phone call, never mind who.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39They were worried you're finding it hard without Shirley and Trace.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Look, I'm not sure what I can do. I have to be back at Mum's for the evening rush but...
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Coffee first, all right? I reckon it's the only thing holding me together.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Babe, you look knackered. Why don't you get yourself in there and get your trotters up?
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I'll whack the kettle on, and I'll get some toys for the boy.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52No, babe...
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And by "sorted", you mean what? That you've phoned a roofer?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18No, no. What it is, all it needs is a hammer, bit of felt.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Boom, boom, boom, just...
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Have you seen the weather?! And you can barely hang a picture straight!
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- It's not a big job, Mum. - A monkey could do that.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Why's the door downstairs still not fixed?- I don't want to pay a geezer an arm and a leg...
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Johnny, go look after your brother. - Mick! There's electrics. You bodge it, and water gets in...
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Haven't I got enough on my plate without you getting electrocuted?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Or worse! I mean, seriously.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Shirley's just saved us ten grand and you're worried about shelling out a few hundred quid?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42You're right, I know, I'm a melt. You know, I'll have a ring round.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Whit, couldn't put the kettle on could you, babe, please?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Hang on. Why are you here anyway?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49You two ain't had a row?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Where's Lee? Is he at the flat?
0:02:51 > 0:02:52L, you wading in ain't going to help, is it?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55If you think I'm going back to Mum's with them two not talking...
0:02:55 > 0:02:58The truth is Linda, we didn't want to tell you, all right?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01You've had a lot to deal with and there's nothing you could have done.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Yeah, they've had to give up the flat.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Jack, he put the rent up. I know it's a liberty.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07So Lee's home?! That's great.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Oh, it's not great but...
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Lee? Where is he? He can't have gone to work already.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Lee!- L. L. He's not here.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16He's gone.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Stop making excuses.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24It's wet. I could slip.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Just as well you got yourself a pair of canoes there, isn't it?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Oh, yeah, she's got a migraine.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35No, hopefully she'll be back tomorrow.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Yeah. All right. Yeah, I'll tell her. All right. Thanks.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Why didn't you just tell the truth?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Because it ain't happening, Stace.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44It's the law, end of.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47If she leaves school before the end of June, I'm going to get done.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48- Well...- None of this hippy dippy stuff.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52That's how we got here in the first place. She's going back tomorrow if I have to drag her.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Shaki, I want you home straight away. No hanging about.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I hope you're pleased with yourself.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Ignore him.- Mum, remember.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05And you can clear them boxes. They're blocking the path.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Now.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Unless you want a fine.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Dad, nice deep breaths, yeah?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19In through the nose, out through the mouth.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- It's these shoes, they need breaking in.- Sure.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24You finished already?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26We've literally just started.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Right, anyway. You have to walk before you can run.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31So, nice and brisk. Keep your arms pumping.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Go, go, go!
0:04:35 > 0:04:37It's your lucky day.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Since I ain't got to go to work, you can take me out for lunch.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I'm really sorry. I said I'd do extra shifts at the restaurant.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Oi! Those arms!
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- So I'll see you later, yeah?- Yeah.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Hiya. I got your message about Louie. Day off, eh?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Bit last minute, weren't it?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Well, everybody else is at some team bonding session.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01I only found out about it last night. There was me thinking I was part of the team.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Well, that is my idea of hell, playing stupid games in a muddy field.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Well, at least you get to spend the day with your boys.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Steven's got work but...me and you will have some fun, won't we?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Why don't you go and help your dad out?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17While Jack's in Paris, visiting Penny with Matthew.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20He's making a right meal out of looking after the other two.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Did he not say?
0:05:23 > 0:05:24No.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28I don't want you to get all wound up, OK?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31He's happy, and he's got a cushty little job by the sound of it...
0:05:31 > 0:05:34He should be here, right, where we can keep an eye on him.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Well, he's a grown man, ain't he, so...
0:05:35 > 0:05:38With a history of depression. I mean, what were you thinking?!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Are you seriously telling me he just woke up one morning,
0:05:41 > 0:05:42and decided to leave?
0:05:44 > 0:05:45I know you're hiding something.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46On my life, L - Beanbag rung,
0:05:46 > 0:05:49and offered him a job on a security firm...
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Are you going to lie to me and all?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Why didn't you go with him? You're his wife.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55We had a few problems....
0:05:55 > 0:05:57You cheated on him? Is that it?!
0:05:57 > 0:05:58- What? No!- Linda, don't...
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Well, it wouldn't be the first time.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01It weren't down to her.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Well, something's going on. Because I know my boy, he wouldn't just take off.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07You think...? You've got no idea.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Look, he left her. It happens. OK? Everything was rosy...
0:06:10 > 0:06:15Oh, read between the lines, Mick! OK. First the baby.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Then a big wedding. All stress, all triggers.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I've been away five minutes, I get back to this.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23The place is literally falling down. Family's in pieces.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25What must he be going through?!
0:06:25 > 0:06:29The one time I need you, Mick. I mean, really need you.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30That poor boy. Where's the phone?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Oh, your boy, your poor boy. You need to open your eyes, love!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Whit, hold up... - No, she needs to know!
0:06:35 > 0:06:39If he is mad, it ain't in the way you think.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Cos how mad do you have to be to rob your own family?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- What?- Yeah, to plan it, to stand there,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46pretend you don't know nothing when they could've killed Ollie.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Now Shirl, she's in prison.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52And we've been working like dogs trying to pay off his debts.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56And he's well out of it so, yeah, keep going on about your poor boy.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I don't know how much more of this I can take.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09The front of that man.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11If anyone is going to speak to my son like that...
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Maybe you should ease off Shaki a bit and all.- Eh?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17You made your point, Mum, and he feels awful.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Poor kid, he's been holed up in his room.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- I know, yes, he brought this on himself but...- Oh, yeah.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27But with you in one ear and Martin harassing him, how's he...?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Harassing?! Oh, do me a favour, Kush.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Most blokes I know would've given him more than a couple of dirty looks.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35And you know Bex is refusing to go back to school?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Yeah, she says she's leaving. So Martin is out of his mind
0:07:38 > 0:07:41with worry, so will you just back off, the pair of you?
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Two coffees.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Talk to me.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I know it sounds bad.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04What am I talking about? It is bad.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- I know it is.- Where's Ollie?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09He's with Johnny, he's sweet.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I didn't want to believe it either but it is the brutal truth.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16I was there, Mick. It's in my head, clear as day.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18He was as shocked as anyone.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19I mean, who told you?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25It was from the horse's mouth.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I'm sorry.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32And I will never, ever be able to get my head around this.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37But he told me it wasn't meant to go down like that.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44Like, who brings a feather duster to rob an East London boozer?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46But he knew.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48He set it up.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49And he covered for 'em.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52So you're telling me he stood there while they
0:08:52 > 0:08:54attacked Johnny and his little brother? No, no...
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I know you don't want to entertain the idea...
0:08:56 > 0:08:57They must've forced him!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00They were animals. They must've threatened him.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Nothing else makes sense. Why would he do that?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Money, it was money! OK? It was money.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Cos he was lying through his teeth about his job.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10He wasn't an executive. He was a skivvy at a call centre.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14But yet he still wants to give it the big man, and spend money like there's no tomorrow.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Because of her.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18He'd have been perfectly happy staying at home but, oh, no.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21No, no. She wanted some fancy flat, with new this, new that.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I said it was too much. I said it'd tip him over the edge...
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Stop! Just stop it. OK? Stop it.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Because without her and Johnny, I'd have gone under.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31You don't know what it's been like.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33It has been a 'mare.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37And after what he did to her, because...
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Not only is he a thief,
0:09:42 > 0:09:43and a liar...
0:09:44 > 0:09:46..he's also a wife-beater.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Yeah, my son.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55And I didn't want to have to tell you that.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59And I've been wracking my brains to try and dress it up.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00But I can't.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Because he done that, L.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10Why do you think I didn't pay the fine? I couldn't.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- But you said that Shirl... - Because I'm a liar, an' all.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19He was running up debts all over the gaff and...
0:10:19 > 0:10:22It was, like, payday loans, credit cards.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I had to sort something out cos he was going to do something stupid
0:10:25 > 0:10:27or he was going to end up in a ditch.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31And we've got nothing.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Nothing.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39So I can't pay to mend the roof, I can't pay the fines.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I can't even pay that poxy cab that just had you over.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50But you said there was loads, even after bringing Mum.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56What happened to no secrets?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11You all right, mate? You fancy anything? No?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Just going to ignore me. Lovely.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27I ain't made of glass, Mick.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Yeah, I know.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32This is huge. How could you not tell me? I'm his mother. You're my husband.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Yeah, I let you down. You already said.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38I don't want to argue with you. You're bang on.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- You went away for five minutes... - I didn't mean that.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44What was I supposed to think? I was worried. Upset.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46If you'd been straight with me from the start...
0:11:46 > 0:11:47How could I? How could I?
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Your mum was on her last legs. Do you think I wanted to lie to you?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Do you think I wanted to drive myself mad trying to sort out this nightmare?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Cos if anyone else had done this to you, or my family,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I would've killed 'em.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00I would've killed 'em, L.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04We're broke.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07We're broke.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08All right!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12It's not great, obviously, but...
0:12:12 > 0:12:18Bricks and mortar. We've been skint before. Worse than this. Remember?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20With three babies, relying on my mum for a roof over our heads.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22You're just not listening to me...
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Do you think I'm not angry?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Do you think I don't want to kill him right now?!
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I mean, what did I do?
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Was it something from when he was little?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Because I tried to teach him right from wrong.- I know, babe...
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Maybe I was too soft or too strict or, erm...
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Well, he didn't get as much attention as the other two.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Nancy had her epilepsy and Johnny had such a rough start.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Now you're just looking for excuses that don't exist.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43He made a decision...
0:12:43 > 0:12:45No, something made him. OK?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Because even as a kid, he couldn't lie to me.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49He never so much as snuck a few extra pick 'n' mix,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51and now you're telling me...
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Maybe it was Afghanistan.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Dean then.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Don't look at me like that. All right? You know how much he struggled.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Yeah, we all did.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14If you're looking for someone to blame...
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I tried talking to him. I tried to get into his nut.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I really tried, it's just that...
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Everything he said just...
0:13:27 > 0:13:28..didn't justify, like...
0:13:32 > 0:13:37The only thing I could hold on to, the only thing that made any sense,
0:13:37 > 0:13:42was that in some mad, twisted way, he was just doing what I taught him.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45I know that sounds pony...
0:13:47 > 0:13:50..but, like, I drilled it into him what it is to be a man, you know.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54What men do - we provide.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59And somehow...
0:13:59 > 0:14:01it went in...
0:14:01 > 0:14:03but he just didn't understand.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Look at me, I've done exactly the same thing.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16I've kept things from you, and I've tried to be the man,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18and sort everything out.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21But I just couldn't do it, L. I couldn't do it.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26It's OK.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30All right, we'll sort it out. Somehow.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Together, as a family.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39No matter what he's done, he's still our boy.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41He should be here with us.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44No. I, I... I can't have him around me.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Not at the moment. You know, like...
0:14:49 > 0:14:50In time.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54He's better off where he is. He's got a mate.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57He's got rules, he's got regulations.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59It's like he's back in the army.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03You should give him a ring, though.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08Cos...he'll be really pleased to hear from you.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11He'll be relieved.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I just...
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I just need to know that we're OK.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21I need to hear it.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Because things have been so bad,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I need to hear it from you, L.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36I miss you, Mick.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39I miss you, baby.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44There's not a day goes by that I don't need you by my side.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Mum's doing my head in.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50I know she can't help it, and I'm horrible for getting annoyed,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54and if it's bad for me, it's worse for her, I know that.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57She's on at me 24/7, I can't do nothing right.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Ollie, the pub. Now this.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Sometimes I just want to scream.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05No. You're great, baby.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08You're great.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Remember, I've seen you in action.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11With Stan, you know.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13But I had you then, holding me together.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I can't do this without you. I just can't.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Dad's not here. He's...
0:16:33 > 0:16:36No, it's not him I've come to see, actually. Can I just...?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Thank you.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- OK. Uh, I know this is a little bit weird.- What...?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44And before you say, he didn't send me.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45If he knew I was here...
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I'm worried about you, Bex.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54All right? All this, it's partly my fault,
0:16:54 > 0:16:58cos none of it would have happened if I'd made Shaks just delete those pictures straight off.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00He's as upset about all this as you are.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Is everyone calling him a tramp? No.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05No, because he is the big man, isn't he?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08All right. You're right. And it's not fair.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12It's not. But you cannot jeopardise your future.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- If you don't take your GCSEs... - I'll get an apprenticeship.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18There's going to be competition, isn't there? You'll be up against
0:17:18 > 0:17:21kids that have got an A in this, an A-star in that.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22You've only got a couple of months left.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26You have no idea what it's like. Everyone laughing, talking.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I have nobody.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30You think Shaks doesn't feel it?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33He's been holed up in his room all weekend.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35He wouldn't even answer his phone.
0:17:37 > 0:17:43You cannot let this affect your whole life, Bex.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47You've just got to face it head on, all right?
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Cos in a few weeks' time they'll all be on to the next big drama.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Everything's going to be all right.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Course it is.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Really.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05I'm going to sort it, Mick.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Look at us.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12You can't carry on like this, and I certainly can't.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Your mum needs you.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19She doesn't want anyone else looking after her.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20Neither do you.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26You can't always have what you want.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29If I had a penny for every time she'd said that to me.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39All right, what do you want to do now then?
0:18:39 > 0:18:40And don't say Night Garden,
0:18:40 > 0:18:44because I've had enough Igglepiggle to last me a lifetime.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45You all right, Lauren?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Eh, what's that?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Remember your grandad?
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Doubtful.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55See you.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58What about Mr Tumble, eh?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00At least he uses proper words.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07I said I'd help Max with the kids later.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08I hope he's paying you.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11How much longer are you going to go on like this?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Just give her time, Martin.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15The more you keep pushing, the more she'll dig her heels in.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17You know what it's like.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Bex...
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I've got band practice tonight.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23I told the school you had a migraine.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- There you go, son.- Cheers, Mick.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35You heard from your brother?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Uh, yeah, he's doing all right, I think.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38I'm not expecting miracles.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40No, course.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43The fact that man even makes it out of bed every day, you know.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46My old woman's only down the road and I've been struggling.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48You're a patient man, Mick.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I know a mum's a mum but... priorities and all that.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58So you'll send someone out to assess her?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00It's not that I don't want to look after her.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I do, it's just...
0:20:02 > 0:20:07I've got a toddler and, well, we've had a few problems at home so...
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Right.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Yeah, course.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Right, thank you. Thanks.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25They say it's a dog's life, don't they, girl?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27What I wouldn't give to swap with you.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Sorry, I didn't realise...
0:20:33 > 0:20:36No, no, it's all right. He's fast asleep. Come in.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Anyway, I think I owe you an apology.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- I shouldn't have said all that... - On behalf of my son,
0:20:48 > 0:20:49if nothing else.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- To say I'm ashamed is... - It's not down to you, is it?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I'm not going to make excuses for him.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59After what he's done to you,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I'm sure you don't feel very charitable but...
0:21:02 > 0:21:04You do know he's not a bad person.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I don't want to talk about him, Linda.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11I do think he's happier down there, though.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Look, I know it's weird me being here.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18If you want me to go...
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Oh, no, no. Don't be silly.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Mick...
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Mick says you've been his rock.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Even after the accident, most people would have gone to pieces.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Besides, it's going to take all of us to get this place back on track.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41I can't do much before Tracey gets back but Shirl's left a big hole,
0:21:41 > 0:21:45and it's time I came home.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51Mum's going to be upset, of course she is, but I don't know when she's going to be back on her feet.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52If ever.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I can't sacrifice everyone else.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57You're putting her in a home?
0:21:59 > 0:22:04I think she could manage with carers. It'll mean moving.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Sheltered accommodation maybe.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12She'll have to give up the pub and the flat that comes with it.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I don't want to.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16If I could tear myself in half...
0:22:19 > 0:22:22This place is in serious trouble, Whit.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26We're getting on top of it though. I know it's tight, but,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30quiz nights - they're bringing more money in, you know.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I've got a few ideas.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34It's not your responsibility.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I'm grateful but I can't do everything.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40And Mum'll probably be better off anyway.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44And what about Mick? He already feels like he's let everyone down.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45He needs me.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48You're at the end of the phone.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51How do you think he'd feel if you added Elaine to the list?
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Stace, that's just stupid.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00So you've told her then?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02You've asked her round and asked to see Louie?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Max, how do you expect her to feel?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06You've barely said two words since you came out the nick.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09What you talking about? I had 'em all round here after New Year.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Now you're looking after someone else's kids.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14I'm helping Jack out, ain't I? It's not a competition.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16But she don't see it like that.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19You should have gone round there, or at least called her.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- If you ain't forgiven her then... - Jack is just going through a rough time, ain't he?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24- Just got me tied up.- I know.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26But if you want a relationship with her and your grandson,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28then just tell her that's all it is.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Thank goodness there's one of you I don't have to worry about.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45You will have to look after yourself though.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47It's going to be hectic with just the three of you.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50You've got to eat properly. Promise me.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54You can't do your course work if you're half-starved. You are keeping up with it, aren't you?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56We've stocked up on oven chips and ketchup.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- That's two of my five a day, right?- No!
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- Kidding. Just concentrate on getting Gran better, OK?- OK.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Are you sure you're OK with this?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Yeah, it's like Johnny said...
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Hey, I thought we said no more lies.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I miss you.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25It won't be for much longer, I'm sure.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30And if it all gets too much then just...pick up the phone.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Same.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Go, your mother needs you.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39- I love you.- I love you.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52I'll see you later.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Dad, what do you want me to do about...?
0:25:10 > 0:25:11I'm sorry for the...
0:25:13 > 0:25:14I'm sorry.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20It's all right, Dad, I got the message.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Lauren, don't be like that. I'm only helping Jack out.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26You think I want to be over there with two screaming kids? Got to be joking.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Well, why didn't you let me know then?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Cos it's over the road. No big deal, is it?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I think it's more than that, Dad.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33What you talking about?
0:25:35 > 0:25:39I know, all right? I know that you think that I betrayed you.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Lauren, where has this come from?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50All right, yeah, if you want the truth, then, yeah, I expected more from you.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57Lauren, what do you want me to say? I ended up in prison.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59It was horrible, and it changed me.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02And on top of everything else, I had to get my head round the fact
0:26:02 > 0:26:05I'd lost you and a grandchild I hadn't even met yet.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- I'm sorry...- Look, I just don't see the benefit of us
0:26:10 > 0:26:12keeping looking back.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Lauren, if we want things to go back to how they were, we've just got to give it time.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20You do want them to though, don't you?
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Course I do.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Come here.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30- OK?- Mm-hmm.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Mick?
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Mick.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Just go back downstairs. I won't be long, yeah?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I'm angry! All right? I'm angry.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59I'm angry and I know I shouldn't be angry.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02She saw the mess I was in, and she just left me.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04No, she didn't want to, OK? She had to.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08You can't expect her just to abandon Elaine.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09She's ill, she needs her.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10What about me, Whit?
0:27:12 > 0:27:13What about what I need?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Just leave me alone, leave me alone. Please leave me alone.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21It won't be forever, OK? She's only at the end of the phone.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25We're all here for you.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44HE SCREAMS
