0:00:29 > 0:00:31Shower's free!
0:00:31 > 0:00:32BABY GRIZZLES
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Dad and Jane not up?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41No, it's just me. Come on, Louie, please, can you eat properly?
0:00:41 > 0:00:42LOUIE CRIES
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Please, darling. Mummy's got her big presentation today.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Are you sure you're well enough to be going in?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49I mean, you spent ages in that bathroom.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Steven, I'm fine. I've spent weeks preparing for this.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54All right, fine.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Can you...would you be able to take over with Louie?
0:00:57 > 0:00:59I promised Josh that I wouldn't be late.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02All right, well, I'm sure Josh can wait for me to have a cup of tea.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Well, Stacey's going to be here in a minute.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06I've really got to go!
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Louie!
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Oh, it's funny, yeah?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14It'll take more than a party...
0:01:16 > 0:01:20..to change the way that people feel about you taking Matthew away.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25We'll just have to hope and pray for the best.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Do you know, the last time I left here, you know,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31I was...I was an absolute wreck.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36And all I could think about was how I'd let my son down.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39You know, I know exactly what it's like to be abandoned by your dad.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44But then, you know, I met Liz. It just - it seemed like maybe I
0:01:44 > 0:01:47had a second chance, you know?
0:01:47 > 0:01:51And...she's not going to want me telling you this, but...
0:01:54 > 0:01:56..she's got problems, you know, conceiving.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59We've been using IVF.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04It's just been breaking her heart, not being able to have kids.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I mean, the whole point of us getting married,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08you know, was to start a family.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11It's why we got our house where we did.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13I didn't know.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Grandma, you have to believe me.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20I'm going to give Matthew everything that I never had.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I'm never going to let him down again.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Well, I have to believe you, don't I?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29It's the only way I can bear losing him.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33But Jack should know.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36You should tell Jack.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Kathy's just had to settle him down.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43I don't know what's wrong with him lately.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44I'll get Steven to drop him round later.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Oh, yeah. Don't worry.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Did you speak to Whitney?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Yeah, well, I left a voicemail.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Can't seem to get through to her.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54I'm sure she's all right.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Yeah. Just seems a bit weird, you know, her not being around.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02You OK?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Yeah. Just a bit nervous, that's all.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06How do I look?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08You look like one of them women off The Apprentice.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- SHE SCOFFS - No, I'm being serious! You're going to knock them City boys dead.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Right, I got to go because Bex has got Arthur
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- and toddlers and revision do not mix. See ya later.- See ya.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18'It won't help, you pestering him.'
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I'm not! I just want him to explain why he won't accept
0:03:20 > 0:03:22the offer on the chippie.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- And we want shot of it, don't we? - You know Ian.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27He likes to feel like he's squeezed every last penny.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Babe, you agree with me, right? - Leave me out of it.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32It's like he doesn't want to let go, Jane.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I want it sold, too.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- The less he's got on his plate the better.- Absolutely.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Morning.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40And you're not helping, either.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42What've I done?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I found those biscuits you bought Ian.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Only a little treat.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50He doesn't need treats, Kathy. He needs our support.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Come on, Jane, he's doing so well.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54The odd Custard Cream ain't going to hurt, is it?
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Well, you tell that to the doctor
0:03:55 > 0:03:57next time his glucose level's checked.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Anything unhealthy is going in the bin.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Well, that's a bit harsh, innit?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05It is no help to Ian putting temptation in his path.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Cheers, mate. That's great. Let's hope they listen.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- Let's hope.- Eh?- Take care. - Have a good one, won't ya?
0:04:27 > 0:04:28How many signatures is that now?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31That is my 12th of the morning.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Kim will be pleased.- She is. Mum, you're a star. Thank you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Although I wish people would stop asking me about it.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Why should I know who the council have got lined up to buy the centre?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Well, it ain't going to happen anyway, is it?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Cos the people round here, they actually care.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49Be nice to think so, but I have my doubts.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I was just chatting to Donna in the cafe.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53She had no clue about Denise, either.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Oh, Mum... - So much for community spirit!
0:04:56 > 0:05:00To think, Denise went all that time without food.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I know I've been distracted,
0:05:04 > 0:05:06but even so, you'd think someone might have noticed.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Will you stop going on about it, please?!
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Denise is her own worst enemy.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11She should have said something, shouldn't she?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I mean, how are you supposed to help someone
0:05:13 > 0:05:14who won't even help themselves? Hm?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Can you hold that? Thank you.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Hi. You all right?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Ugh. Let yourself in, in future, yeah?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I ain't ready for the whole world to see me just yet.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31You did say 8:30, right?
0:05:31 > 0:05:328:30-ish. Not on the dot.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35All right, well, I'm here now,
0:05:35 > 0:05:39so you can go and zhoosh yourself or whatever.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Is Pearl through here?
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- No, she's upstairs with Vincent. - Oh, right.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Where are you going? This is your first day.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- There's plenty of time for that. - But there's things...
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Anyway, he likes to pick out her little outfits.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Coffee?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I was due to get my nails done today, but I cancelled it,
0:05:57 > 0:06:02cos me, you and Pearl, we're just going to chill, all right?
0:06:02 > 0:06:03So come on.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06So, are you ready to tell me what's in there yet?
0:06:06 > 0:06:07What's there to say?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11"The marriage is irretrievably broken."
0:06:11 > 0:06:14And it's pretty much a list of all the assets.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18The house, cars...lawn furniture.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21What's left of 20 years together.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Have you spoken to Tim?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I've tried a couple of times. He's not answering my calls.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Well, maybe you should try again.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Better than let the court decide what you get.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Catch you later.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Er, excuse me! You're a bit eager, aren't ya?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I know, but I'm meeting someone before school.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43"Someone"?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Yeah, erm, Travis. We're doing the showcase together.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- He's playing Romeo.- Is he, now?
0:06:49 > 0:06:50We're sort of going out.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Uh, hang on! How long's this been?
0:06:55 > 0:06:56About a week.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Right. And when am I going to meet this Romeo?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Sharon, trust me, it's fine!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I know it is, but it doesn't stop me worrying.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Look, why don't you invite him round for dinner tonight, huh?
0:07:07 > 0:07:08I promise I won't interrogate him.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- OK. Yeah, I will.- OK.- Thanks.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22How long till I'm mopping up the tears, eh?
0:07:25 > 0:07:26That's why I thought I'd ask Dot.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I mean, she's good with all that heaven stuff.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32You know, to help with Will's nightmares.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35And you try and keep your kids safe, don't ya?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Tell 'em that there ain't no bogeyman coming to get 'em,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40but, to be honest with ya, my job finishes at the cemetery gates.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I ain't got a clue what happens after that.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Sorry, I should shut up, shouldn't I?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47No, mate. It ain't that.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50All right, Billy? How you doing, kids?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52All set for school?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54All right, Jack?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- You all right?- Jack?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Don't worry about it, Bill. Go on, go see Dot.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Listen, Jack, me and Liz just wanted to say thanks, yeah.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Yeah, not now.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Well, neither of us want to make this any harder for the kids
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- than it has to be.- I said, not now!
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Go on.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Haven't you told them yet?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Look, come and see me when I'm back, all right?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36As long as you're definitely better.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37These guys might not be so keen to invest
0:08:37 > 0:08:39if you throw up all over them.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41No, I feel fine now. I won't let you down.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Good.- Hi, Suzie.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Just remember - they might have big bank balances,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47but most of them have zero personality.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51That's why I need you to inject some of your trademark charm, OK?
0:08:53 > 0:08:54OK.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Morning, Corinne.- Morning!
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Lauren, I hear Josh had to come to your rescue last week.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- What a gentleman! - Hardly. Got dinner out of it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Really?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I'm going to have to ask you to fill out this sickness form.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Sorry to be an HR bore.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- It's all right. - Better let you get on with it.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15You've certainly caught his eye.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19For him to ask you to help with the Orion Project.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22If this comes off, it'll be a huge acquisition for the company.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24He must think a lot of you.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- I don't know about that.- Rubbish!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Keep going like this and in 12 months' time
0:09:28 > 0:09:30you could be leading your own team.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32And Josh says you've got a little boy as well?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Yeah, Louie.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Just goes to show -
0:09:35 > 0:09:39you can still have children and climb a career ladder.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Yeah, I guess so.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I'll get on this for ya.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Kim! Are there any more washing tablets?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Thank you very much. That's nice.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Oh, finally. She joins us.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Yeah, in a while. Is this the last of the washing tablets?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09If there's not any more in the cupboard.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Pearl, why don't we give Auntie Dee a cake?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Yeah. Yeah, give it to Auntie Dee.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I'm going to make a shopping list.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Where are you going? Look, she made you a cake. It's yummy!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Yes, yeah.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I'm sure it is, sweetheart.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28But do you know what? Auntie Dee didn't give up her claim at
0:10:28 > 0:10:30the Jobcentre to play little games.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32I've got work to do.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41If you were hoping to see Matthew, he's just gone down for a nap.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Yeah, no problem.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51You'll be wanting all of these, I guess.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Er, yeah, if that's all right with you.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Yeah, well we've got a load more up in his room.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Me and Ronnie, we went a bit overboard at Christmas.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Listen, Jack...
0:11:04 > 0:11:06..I really respect what you're doing.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12I know how difficult this must be. You've always put Matthew first.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Listen...you got what you wanted, all right?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Let's not start acting nice.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I know what you must think of me, all right?
0:11:23 > 0:11:24I was a coward for running away.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I was a coward for never getting in touch,
0:11:28 > 0:11:32and...I know you don't want to hear this, but...
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I just need you to know that...
0:11:35 > 0:11:38this isn't about...it's not about breaking up a family, all right?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40It's not about revenge.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45I mean we've...we both went through it with Ronnie and Roxy.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- Listen...- I'm just saying...all of that is done with, all right?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51What matters now is what's best for the kids.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57And I'm going to try every day to be the kind of father
0:11:57 > 0:11:59that you've been to Matthew.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04And I promise you, I'll never let him forget his mum.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17It's his favourite.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Take it now so it's not forgotten.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31When are you going to break the news to Amy and Ricky?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34After school, I guess.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37It's going to really hit 'em hard.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Well, they need to understand why we're doing this.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Maybe we should tell them together.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- These are brand-new in.- Really? - Yeah, yeah.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Denise! Are you all right?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Carmel told me everything.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I'm so sorry. I wish I'd have known.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Yeah, well, everyone's got their own problems, ain't they?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Oh, come on - you know I would have helped.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13We've all been saying it. Why didn't you tell us?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15There is no point in struggling on your own.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17I didn't tell anyone
0:13:17 > 0:13:20because I couldn't stomach another person's pity.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Yeah, I'm going to go for this one.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Kush? Hello?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Sorry.- This one.- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good choice.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Yeah, I'll get a bag.- Thank you. Oh, lovely.- Cheers.- Thanks.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38All right.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43Steven! What do you think? Classy enough for my 21st?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Er...
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Yeah, Mum sent me some money, so I can do it proper now.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Is Beale's free?- Yeah, should be.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Yeah? You all right?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54You haven't caught Lauren's stomach bug, have ya?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Ah, no, no. It's nothing like that.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57It's... She's just...
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Everything's about her job. Like the other night,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07all right, that was just supposed to be the two of us and then Josh
0:14:07 > 0:14:10turns up and... I'm not stupid, you know, I get what's going on.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12You do?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Yeah. He's her boss. She's got to impress him.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Oh, right.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20What's that supposed to mean?
0:14:20 > 0:14:25Nothing. She's just never satisfied with what she's got.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Honestly, Steven, she should be grateful to have
0:14:27 > 0:14:30a bloke as strong and supportive as you are.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45So this slide will already be showing when we walk the
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- investors into the room. - When did you do these?
0:14:49 > 0:14:50The weekend.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52You were supposed to be getting better
0:14:52 > 0:14:54and you had Louie to take care of.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Yeah, well, it didn't take long.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58And then, obviously, once I've given them each a prospectus,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01got them settled and happy, that's when I'll pass them over to you.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03All softened up and ready to part with their money.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Yeah, that's the plan.- Are you OK?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13I er.. Yeah, I just feel a bit nervous, that's all.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Good, you're still here. Just wanted to wish you luck.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Lauren, you look very pale.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21No, I'm fine, really.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Josh quickly, find something before she's sick on the floor!
0:15:24 > 0:15:27No, no, no, it's fine. Honestly. Just got butterflies, that's all.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28You're still not right, are ya?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Well, you shouldn't have come in if you don't feel better.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- Josh, she needs to go home. - What? No!
0:15:33 > 0:15:36We can't have this spreading across the office.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40It... It's not that sort of bug.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Give me five minutes. - Corinne's right.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46It's a shame, but, you know, you've done amazing work so far.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Josh, please...
0:15:48 > 0:15:49I'll blag it somehow.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53No... You need me.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56What I need is for you to look after yourself.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Take the rest of the week off if you have to.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I'm the boss. Yeah?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Just come back fighting fit and ready to get on with work.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Right, that's the washing out to dry.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Where's Pearl?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I've asked Vincent to take her to the park.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- I think we need to talk. - You did what?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49And, seeing that I'm the boss, you have no say,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52so just sit down and tell me what the matter is.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I said sit down.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Please.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16I can't do this.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19I thought I could, but I can't.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22What are you on about?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25I'm a laughing stock, Kim.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I've already bit Donna's head off.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32She was saying how sorry she was to hear about me
0:17:32 > 0:17:35and I told her where to stick her pity.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Dee!
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Everyone's thinking it.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Honey. Donna. Kush.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46I can't stand the shame.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52What if he knew?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Who?
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Raymond.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00What if he knew about Pearl?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04That's what keeps going round and round in my head.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I'm getting paid to look after his cousin and I...
0:18:11 > 0:18:12..I gave him up.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16No, that's totally different.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Well, if there's one thing that I learnt in my GCSE
0:18:20 > 0:18:23it's what irony is.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27You know what's ironic?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30You turning your back on people who want to help you.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33No, no. That's...that's not irony.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Well, what is it, then?
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Turning down help...
0:18:44 > 0:18:45..it's just...
0:18:45 > 0:18:50it's me trying to hang on to my last few shreds of dignity,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52and that is just sad.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Let's face it, Kim...
0:18:58 > 0:18:59..what else have I got left?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05So, you see, this doesn't have to be goodbye for ever

0:20:48 > 0:20:51That I'm stuck in some sort of a tragedy?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Might make a good story, but you should try living it!

0:21:40 > 0:21:42And look where it's got me!
0:21:44 > 0:21:46So go on, genius.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Yeah, I know.

0:22:36 > 0:22:41- You should've phoned, tell me you were coming home.- Thank you.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44I did say not to force yourself back into work.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Lauren, if this job is going to put you under this kind of pressure,
0:22:48 > 0:22:49- then...- Then what?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55I'm just saying, babe, it's not everything, OK?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00My dad is going to accept an offer on the chippie any day now
0:23:00 > 0:23:02and when he does, we are set.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56I just need to find my script.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- So?- Why are you two so late?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- Lose track of time, did ya? - No. We were talking.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Yeah...
0:24:03 > 0:24:06We were! I just asked if he wanted to come over for dinner.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08And is he?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- What?- Going to come over. - Cos it looked that way.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Cos you know that's what he's after?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Must've run out of girls in his own year.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Well, he's already done her.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Who?- Her.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Careful, Louise - don't want to end up like your mate Bex, do you?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Everyone knows how quick she puts out.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Plus, guys like Travis only like girls like that.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Louise! Chop chop!
0:24:31 > 0:24:32He's not like that.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38If Jack has agreed to a party,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41it must mean that he trusts you, Charlie.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44You know, to do the right thing for Matthew.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Yeah, well it's true. Everything I've told him, you know.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Matthew's going to be safe with us. It's not like here.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57He's going to have clean air, open space, you know - decent people
0:24:57 > 0:24:58who are going to protect him.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Sounds like when I was evacuated to Wales.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06It was as if the war weren't going on.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Well, you should come with us, then.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12What?
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Seriously, why not?
0:25:16 > 0:25:17What?
0:25:17 > 0:25:18To Ireland?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Well, think about it, I mean... what have you got left here?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29I only asked if Travis was coming to dinner.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Well, he's not! How come you're making such a big deal out of this?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I just want to get to know him, that's all.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Why? Aren't all teenage boys the same?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Ask her. She'd know.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Oi!
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Leave it, 'Chelle.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45So, how are you getting on?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Did you manage to talk to Tim?
0:25:47 > 0:25:48I left him a message.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Well, he needs to talk to you. I know he's angry,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54but you put just as much into that marriage as he did.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55He can't expect to keep everything.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Why not? It's what I deserve.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Or maybe he wants rid of everything that reminds him of me.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05I just need him to know how sorry I am.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I can go and get Louie.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21No, I might as well.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Do you want me to get you anything while I'm out?
0:26:26 > 0:26:31Steven, wait. I shouldn't have said what I did.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37It's just...it's because...I've just been feeling so rubbish.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Well, it's not though, is it?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Yeah, you're right, my world is very small.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47It doesn't mean that I don't want more, too, though.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51I just meant that it's not all down to you.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54I've always been there for you.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59It's the reason I get up in the morning.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31Are you sure I can't get you anything while I'm out?
