00:00 *Music*
00:05 Hey, Sonny.
00:19 Where's Nicky?
00:20 Just off the hospital with Ruby now.
00:23 Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:24 Jess.
00:25 How's Seven?
00:27 Not sure, to be honest.
00:29 Well, no more.
00:30 We're gonna get the results back.
00:31 Whether he needs...
00:32 ...a bone marrow transplant as well as chemo.
00:34 New world, basically.
00:36 Must be tough on Dawn.
00:39 I saw her by the coffee machines the other day.
00:42 Says she hasn't even been home.
00:43 Yeah, it's pretty tough.
00:44 Anyway, fine.
00:47 Let's get on.
00:49 Yeah, take care, mate.
00:50 Cheers, pal.
00:52 Sonny.
00:54 Sonny!
00:56 Please, just- just wait!
00:57 No, Ethan! I don't wanna hear it, okay?
01:00 *Doorbell rings*
01:01 Vinnie!
01:03 Sweetheart!
01:04 *Chuckles*
01:08 *Sighs*
01:10 *Sighs*
01:12 Hiya.
01:14 D-do you fancy getting breakfast at the cafe?
01:16 No, never mind that.
01:17 Vinnie's bed wasn't slept in.
01:20 Oh, and you mean, you think-
01:22 He went home with Gabby.
01:23 Must have! I mean, admittedly, I'm surprised he jumped in there but...
01:26 ...I mean, Gabby has been known to be a bit of a man-eater, right?
01:29 Er, I've never noticed that.
01:30 Anyway, this...
01:31 ...is- it's real progress!
01:33 Aww!
01:34 Even in the guts and gumption to girlfriend!
01:36 Yeah, there might be a different reason why he stayed out.
01:38 Like what?
01:40 M-might be a little bit mad at you.
01:41 Baby?
01:43 He knows you asked Gabby to hang out with him.
01:47 Oh, wow!
01:49 Because when he challenged me, I folded up like a tiny little piece of paper. I panicked. I'm so sorry.
01:53 Flippin' heck, Paddy! What did he say?
01:55 Well, not much. He just kind of exuded this quiet, devastating vibe. It was very effective, actually.
01:59 He's gonna hate me! Right, I need to call him...
02:01 ...and find out where he is.
02:02 Oh, it's the potty smell!
02:06 Maybe try Aaron's?
02:07 Yeah. Right, I need to go there.
02:08 Right?
02:09 I-I'm just explaining to him that...
02:10 ...that I never meant to, you know...
02:12 -Get found out. -Upset him!
02:13 Right? And 'cause you dropped me in it, you can come and all!
02:16 Right.
02:24 Hi!
02:25 Hi, baby!
02:27 Oh!
02:30 Hi, daft dog!
02:31 It's a fat chance of us hiding out here, isn't there?
02:36 Come on, then.
02:39 Let's go.
02:40 Morning, Romeo!
02:47 Thanks for loanin' a t-shirt. I'll, erm...
02:49 ...I'll wash it and bring it back.
02:51 Nah, you'll be alright.
02:52 No, I've seen it on you. Don't want it back.
02:54 *Aaron laughs*
02:55 Yeah, have a go with them.
02:58 What?
02:58 Have a go with them.
02:59 Nah, you'll be alright. You'll be alright.
03:05 Hello?
03:08 Yeah, come up, Andy.
03:11 Why have you done that? I don't wanna see ya!
03:12 Well, then you can tell her that. I'm not gonna be your go-between.
03:15 I was just girly.
03:16 Right, yeah.
03:17 Obviously.
03:17 Oh, sweet heart! Right, look...
03:21 ...I-I know...
03:22 ...you're angry with me, right?
03:22 And I-I don't blame you.
03:24 So why have you done it to Mum?
03:25 Were you worried I might not feel, you know, lonely, pathetic enough already?
03:28 In your mum's defence, I think she just thought you needed a boost.
03:30 See, you ripped the hammer back to her friend and trapped me like some sort of saddler.
03:33 And how-how am I meant to face Gabby now, eh?
03:35 I'm sure the pair of you'll smooth things over.
03:37 Look, I was just trying to cheer you up, please.
03:40 Please, just go, okay?
03:41 I'm really not in the mood.
03:42 What if I don't want to?
03:44 Well, it's my flat.
03:45 And I'm on Vinnie's side, so you ain't got much choice, really, have ya?
03:48 But yeah, you'd better still study, which is all good.
03:50 Shut your face!
03:51 Don't have a go at him, Mum!
03:52 He ain't the one who stitched me up, is he?
03:53 Right, look, look, both of ya, just leave.
03:56 Come on, Pats.
03:59 See ya.
04:01 Still can't get used to the fruit over here.
04:17 Tastes so bland, look.
04:18 Banging on about her son kissed Spanish melons again, is she?
04:22 You should try them, Billy.
04:24 Not a hint of bitterness.
04:25 Did the school reach you, by the way?
04:28 Apparently there's some permission slip for Clemmie's trip that was due in yesterday.
04:33 Is there?
04:33 Oh, and they also asked if you wouldn't mind dropping off Lucas's PE kit.
04:37 He forgot it.
04:38 Right.
04:39 Best go find it, then, eh?
04:40 I thought I'd take the kids to the cinema after school.
04:44 Give you longer at the hospital.
04:45 Yeah, they'd love that.
04:47 What are that soft play with the laser guns?
04:51 His friend had a party at.
04:52 Lucas loved it there.
04:53 Then hopefully he'll be invited to another party there.
04:57 Those god-awful places give me a migraine.
05:00 Nothing wrong with letting the kids blow off a bit of steam, though.
05:03 Is there, Billy?
05:03 Erm, Kim, do you mind plopping this off for me?
05:08 I'm kinda struggling to get everything done, you know?
05:11 Yeah, of course.
05:12 Can't forget your fruit.
05:13 Yeah, Dawn never seems to get to the canteen, so I thought I'd make her something.
05:16 I'm sure she'll appreciate it.
05:20 Well, I would say help yourself to anything while we're gone, but, er...
05:23 ...you don't usually need an invitation.
05:25 I love this jokey banter we have.
05:27 It brightens my day.
05:28 Oh, it's not banter.
05:29 I'm counting the days until we can get rid of you.
05:32 Honestly!
05:34 What is she like?
05:36 Give Dawn and that gorgeous boy a big squeeze from me.
05:39 Yeah.
05:40 See you later.
05:41 I might have a go at your ironing pile while you're gone.
05:45 Help out a bit.
05:46 With my good arm, that is.
05:48 (Door closes)
05:50 Alright?
05:53 Yeah, you?
05:55 Yeah, good, ta.
05:56 Let's get inside and talk this over.
06:12 (Door opens)
06:14 (Door closes)
06:15 (Birds chirping)
06:17 (Dog panting)
06:19 (Birds chirping)
06:21 (Birds chirping)
06:23 (Fire crackling)
06:25 (Fire crackling)
06:27 (Fire crackling)
06:29 Everything okay?
06:30 Nope.
06:31 Vinnie hates me.
06:32 Why? What's happened?
06:34 I tried to do something nice for him, didn't I? And it backfired on me.
06:36 Oh, dear.
06:37 Well, at least you two never fall out for long.
06:40 No. Not now he's got Aaron the bouncer.
06:42 He's such a stirrer.
06:44 'Cause there's net going on in his life right now.
06:46 Hey, Mandy, you haven't heard up from Belle, have ya?
06:50 No, not since yesterday. Why?
06:52 Well, me and Sam, we took a stew round last night and
06:55 when we knocked on the back door, there were no answer.
06:57 Only I could've sworn there was somebody in.
06:59 Well, they'll be upstairs 'cause, um...
07:01 They're trying, aren't they?
07:04 I thought so. I nearly said as much to Sam, but...
07:07 Well, I sent her a message earlier today and she's not responded,
07:10 even though I can see she's ready.
07:12 Kenny! Is everything all right with our Belle?
07:15 Eh, seemed all right a minute ago.
07:17 Just got back with the dog. Why, something up?
07:19 Well, no, I mean, she's just answered him to self recently, that's all.
07:22 Not self out?
07:23 Well, she was just a bit... off with me, but, I mean, we sorted it, I think.
07:28 Maybe you were doing her head in. Have you met you?
07:30 Do you know what? Shoot me for curing.
07:31 Right, okay, if it makes you feel better, I'll have a word with her.
07:34 I said I'd update her on Nicky anyway.
07:36 Thanks, Cain. I mean, like you say, it's probably nothing.
07:38 I honestly don't know why I did it.
07:43 I would never, ever want to hurt you.
07:47 Oh, my God, you're shaking.
07:51 Belle, you're acting like you're scared of me. It's me.
07:55 Us.
07:57 You punched me in the stomach.
08:00 Because... because of what you said to me.
08:05 You're making it out like I was some kind of monster.
08:07 But you're not, right?
08:09 No. Of course not.
08:12 And the fact that you even think that is what hurts so much.
08:15 That I could be such an awful disappointment of a husband.
08:18 Stop making this all about you.
08:20 So talk to me, then.
08:21 Instead of pushing me away and ghosting me like you did last night,
08:23 saying stupid things like you're threatening to leave me.
08:25 It wasn't a threat.
08:26 I was serious.
08:29 I talk, now you...
08:32 You do.
08:35 Better than anyone. That's why this is all so crazy.
08:38 I'm not crazy, Tom.
08:39 I wasn't saying that you were.
08:42 Belle.
08:46 Belle, I think that you're amazing.
08:48 I still can't believe that you picked me.
08:51 That's why it kills me.
08:54 When you can't look at me, all my insecurities just come rising to the surface
08:57 because nobody gets this lucky.
08:59 I can't do this anymore.
09:03 Don't.
09:04 Don't say that.
09:06 Anything is fixable.
09:08 I promise. I'll...
09:09 I'll prove it.
09:11 I need you to leave.
09:12 I literally sat there all night
09:16 worrying about you. If you were hurt,
09:19 I wouldn't sleep in a freezing cold car to give you space to make you feel safe.
09:23 Just go.
09:24 No, I won't. I have lost everyone that I ever cared about.
09:29 My dad, my mum. I can't lose you, too.
09:31 I'm sorry.
09:32 Belle.
09:35 We're married, right? You're my family.
09:38 You owe it to me to talk this through.
09:41 Belle, I...
09:44 I'm begging you.
09:46 If we can't be together, then...
09:49 I just don't know what the point is anymore.
09:52 Life just isn't worth it.
09:55 I don't trust myself.
10:00 (BREATHES HEAVILY)
10:01 Yesterday,
10:14 I must have come across like some...
10:18 ..jealous, possessive moron. Everything that I hate.
10:23 But the truth is,
10:28 I guess I've never really...
10:29 ..felt like I was good enough for you.
10:32 It's why I've always been so...
10:35 ..needy and...
10:37 ..protective.
10:38 Yesterday, I felt like you were using how weak and...
10:46 ..persoddered I am around you against me.
10:49 I'm an idiot.
10:56 Tom, what you said earlier...
10:58 ..about not being able to live without me, not trusting yourself,
11:03 what did you mean?
11:04 I shouldn't have said that, OK? It was unfair.
11:09 So you didn't mean it?
11:10 What, that I couldn't live without you?
11:13 I mean, I probably couldn't, to be honest.
11:16 But I wouldn't do that to you.
11:21 You can be honest with me.
11:22 I've been to some pretty dark places myself.
11:25 That's why I shouldn't have said anything at all.
11:27 So, please, can we just...
11:30 ..can we just forget it?
11:33 Please?
11:37 Yes, I will. OK?
11:44 Is there something you want, Paddy?
11:50 Yeah, I just wondered if you'd managed to speak to Vinnie after yesterday.
11:54 Oh, yeah. He popped in earlier.
11:56 We had a massive laugh about it. Made plans again for later.
11:59 - Really? - No, Paddy.
12:00 He's probably as mortified as I am.
12:02 - What's this? - Nothing. I've dealt with it.
12:04 I'll get it out of your hair, then. But, again, I'm sorry.
12:09 Mm-hm.
12:11 Gabby?
12:14 Asking twice counts as nosy, Lauren. I've told you I've dealt with it.
12:19 I'm just concerned.
12:20 That's a bit nosy.
12:23 Vinnie made a move on me.
12:25 No!
12:26 It was all an embarrassing misunderstanding before we started winding our end.
12:29 Well, it's more interesting than a normal evening round here.
12:32 The thing is, I think I might have hurt his feelings.
12:35 - It's not that he's not a nice guy... - Hey, he loves his mum. That's a good sign.
12:38 ..and he was Liv's husband, which makes things even more weird if I did fancy him.
12:41 Which I don't. He's not my type.
12:43 Your type being a self-censored, unreliable bad boy
12:46 who just would drop you at a moment's notice.
12:48 - You know, I get the appeal. - All right, don't rub it in.
12:52 Maybe you should just rethink your type, you know, change it up a bit.
12:55 Maybe...
12:57 take a chance on somebody who you might not have looked at in that way before.
13:01 - Really? - Mm, why not?
13:03 I mean, look at me and your dad. Nice doesn't have to be boring.
13:07 I see mileage in you two.
13:21 Look, please, just...
13:23 Let me speak.
13:25 And say what, exactly?
13:40 Hmm?
13:42 The damage is done.
13:44 You left Nicky for dead and now he might never wake up.
13:48 It's...it's not that simple.
13:51 No, you're right.
13:53 Cos you're a complicated guy, aren't you?
13:56 I mean, how else could the person that put himself on the line for me
13:59 lost his job because of it...
14:02 ..and end up doing something so gutless?
14:06 Is it because I froze?
14:09 I panicked. I...
14:15 I did the cowardly thing in the moment. I'm...I'm sorry.
14:19 You came to the hospital with me...
14:23 as my mate.
14:25 You listened to me blame myself.
14:29 My auntie felt better of you.
14:33 Look, Sonny, if I could make things better, then I...I swear I would.
14:38 Everyone hates me.
14:41 I don't even want to leave the house.
14:44 You're angling for me to forgive you.
14:46 I can't.
14:49 I'm not sure what use would be anyway.
14:52 If I know you, you won't be able to forgive yourself.
14:56 You better pray Nicky makes it.
15:02 Or you're done for.
15:07 (BIRDS CHIRP)
15:09 (CLEARS THROAT)
15:17 Feeling better?
15:19 Er, cleaner, anyway.
15:21 Thanks for letting me use the shower.
15:25 Yeah, it's fine.
15:27 Do you mind if I, er, make myself something to eat?
15:30 I haven't eaten since yesterday.
15:32 OK. Lyd's left a stew on the back step. I could heat that up.
15:35 No, no, it's fine. I'll do it myself.
15:37 You just put your feet up.
15:39 Probably best if I keep moving. I think I...
15:42 Did my back in a bit when I was bunked down in the car.
15:49 Tom, you know everything that's happened?
15:58 And what you've said, that there are people that you can speak to.
16:03 I like talking to you. That's enough for me.
16:05 No, I'm not an expert.
16:07 And when I speak to my mental health team, they...
16:09 Well, you're not going to tell them about this, are you?
16:12 Why? Cos you think burying your head in the sand's better?
16:15 Asking for help is a strength. It's not a weakness.
16:18 No, no, I get that. It's just...
16:20 ..this is my problem.
16:25 So, you know, I need to work through this with someone.
16:28 And you've got enough on your plate already.
16:32 Look, I know how much this has upset you,
16:34 but I swear to you, nothing like this is ever going to happen ever again.
16:39 Especially now I know I can be completely honest with you.
16:42 You've seen the worst of me.
16:47 And you're still here.
16:49 So, please, Belle...
16:52 ..let me fix this.
16:55 Let me be the husband you deserve.
16:57 So, you and Kim, how's that work?
17:00 You being friends, I mean.
17:02 Well, we just sort of get along.
17:05 I suppose we're both no-nonsense.
17:08 So I won't be embroiled into bad-mouthing her, if that's what you're after.
17:12 I'm saying nothing.
17:14 Not when she's putting me up in her mansion.
17:16 She can be a bit abrupt at times, but you just need to know her ways.
17:20 I had a chihuahua like that. Madam, she was called.
17:23 She's also incredibly loyal.
17:25 Same as Madam.
17:27 If anyone stepped out of line with me, she'd bark and bite at their ankles.
17:32 She thought a lot of herself, too. They sound very similar.
17:35 Don't let Kim hear you saying that.
17:37 Saying what?
17:39 Oh, I hear, Kim. I thought you were at the hospital.
17:41 Evidently.
17:43 I sense Billy and Dawn needed some time together.
17:46 Things seemed a tad fraught.
17:48 Oh, so diplomatic of you.
17:51 I take it you're on your lunch break?
17:53 I'm just about to go now, actually.
17:55 I'm meeting Mandy at the pub.
17:57 And what about you?
17:59 Or are you planning on lounging around the place like a budget Joan Collins again?
18:03 Actually, I might tag along with Lydia, if that's OK.
18:08 Don't want to get under your feet here, do I?
18:12 I don't mind.
18:14 Anything that waters down Mandy when she's on one.
18:16 I'll be sure to make the most of the peace and quiet.
18:24 Oh, Gabby!
18:26 Can I have a word?
18:28 It's about the mess I've made.
18:30 There's no need, Mandy. I've had a word with Paddy. Everything's fine.
18:33 Except it's not, though. With me and Vinnie.
18:35 OK, well, I'm sure you'll sort something out.
18:37 Well, actually, I was wondering if, um...
18:39 maybe you could talk to him.
18:41 Look, don't take this the wrong way,
18:43 but I don't think me doing you any more favours is a good idea.
18:46 Right.
18:48 Understood.
18:50 I mean, seriously.
18:52 I'm looking out for Vinnie, love. All right?
18:55 Oh, goodness, don't look now.
18:57 What? Oh.
18:59 Well, this isn't awkward.
19:01 Well, don't make it awkward. Go and talk to them.
19:03 - No, that's embarrassing. - Really? I thought you didn't like him like that.
19:06 - Come on, be quiet. - Fine, fine.
19:08 I'll shut you up.
19:10 Vinnie. Hi.
19:12 Hiya.
19:14 - Shall we, um... - Yeah, yeah, sure.
19:16 - Be back in a sec, all right? - OK, I'll be waiting.
19:20 Oh, thanks.
19:22 Look, I, um... I just wanted to say that...
19:25 I don't want our friendship to suffer because of...
19:28 - Me being an idiot. - No.
19:30 I mean, Aaron's an idiot, Vinnie, not you.
19:33 And, plus, you know, I might have overreacted a tad.
19:37 Um, I've never really thought about us like that before.
19:40 I don't mean you liking me, I mean more me reciprocating it.
19:44 Enough said.
19:46 What I'm trying to say is, um...
19:49 It took me by surprise, that's all.
19:52 And, you know, I love that we get along and we have a right laugh together.
19:56 So we're still good, then? You know, like, still mates, I mean?
20:00 Yeah, yeah, of course.
20:02 You know, we're the only decent ones in this ditchy village.
20:05 It'd be stupid to shoot ourselves in the foot by ditching each other, right?
20:08 Yeah, I reckon so.
20:11 (DISTANT CHATTER)
20:13 Hi, Cain. Everything all right?
20:19 - I just phoned about. - Why, what's up?
20:21 Mandy said you had words.
20:23 Just wondered if you were OK, you know, her being a gob on legs sometimes.
20:26 I'm fine. I thought we'd sorted it, to be honest.
20:28 Oh. Must have got it wrong, then.
20:31 I, um... I called you earlier and you didn't pick up.
20:36 Must have been busy. I saw you text about not changing your nicky. I'm sorry.
20:41 Listen, we haven't seen you for a while.
20:43 Why don't you two come over for dinner tomorrow?
20:45 - Yeah, OK. - Sounds great. Thanks for the invite.
20:48 Right. See you then.
20:50 I'll ask Moira what we need to bring.
20:52 Thank you for not saying anything.
20:57 Only...
20:59 Are we all right?
21:02 I mean, the fact that I'm still here
