00:30Did you manage to get some sleep?
00:34You know, if you're in pain, you just need to...
00:36Oh, Mum, it's fine.
00:38You're lucky you didn't lose your eye.
00:43Yeah, I didn't get much sleep either.
00:45I was just going over and over, everything in my head.
00:48Don't, Mum. It's no point.
00:50Well, you think I can help it?
00:55Hey.
00:57You need to report it, son.
00:59Make sure that that thug doesn't get anywhere near you.
01:02Mum, it's not that simple.
01:04Oh, so they get away with it?
01:06You don't understand, Mum.
01:10You make me understand.
01:15You've just got to get me out of there.
01:17OK?
01:20I'm scared, Maddy.
01:22I know, Mum.
01:25I'm so...
01:26I'm so sorry.
01:30SHE SNIFFLES
01:34Oh, will you at least...
01:36..at least promise me that you'll ask for some proper protection?
01:39I have.
01:41It's not going to happen.
01:42You were attacked.
01:43Just leave it.
01:44Oh, till when? Till you're carried home in a box?
01:47Look, Mum, I'm safe for now.
01:50Just got to be grateful for that.
01:53I just need to get some rest, Mum, yeah?
02:00Yeah.
02:04I love you.
02:06I love you.
02:07So much.
02:10How could I be so stupid?
02:12Don't be so hard on yourself.
02:14The guy lied to you.
02:15And Matty's in hospital,
02:16and the whole prison probably knows he's trans by now.
02:19They're not going to be gunning for him.
02:21Besides, Liz was really good with it,
02:22and the guards are going to be looking out for trouble.
02:24You don't need to make us feel better.
02:26I know I've put a huge target on his back.
02:28Yeah, you do. Just download an app.
02:30Cos I'm not helping you translate when you're chatting up lasses.
02:33What's French for I'm a lying coward?
02:36There's no one.
02:37It's just Amy.
02:40Don't give him the satisfaction.
02:43PHONE RINGS
02:48Hi.
02:49I just don't know what to do.
02:52Oh, Mackenzie, you should see the state of his face.
02:55I need to find a way to get him out of there.
03:02Hey, you don't need to do that.
03:04Lily, you were here first thing.
03:05Well, we've had breakfast since then.
03:07And you know what the kids are like.
03:09And Dad.
03:10Yeah, well, that's true.
03:12You look exhausted. Here, let me take over.
03:15Oh, it's fine.
03:16Come on.
03:17Thanks.
03:19So, tough night with Evan?
03:22Yeah.
03:24Didn't help with Billy being on that job.
03:28What was it again?
03:29I needed some urgent paperwork taken to an office in Bristol.
03:33It couldn't wait.
03:34And it didn't involve actually seeing anyone.
03:39He slept in the spare room when he got back.
03:41He probably didn't want to disturb you.
03:43Or he's annoyed at me for not letting him help with Evan's meds.
03:47Is that what he said?
03:48No.
03:49No, I've not seen him. It's just...
03:53He must think I'm a right cow.
03:55I doubt that.
03:57It's just so important, Kim.
03:59I know he's only trying to help,
04:01but Evan missed a whole dose spitting it out.
04:03It's better when I do it.
04:05Well, fine, but...
04:08I don't want to be a burden to him.
04:11Well, fine, but...
04:13you do need to support each other.
04:16I mean, if you're going to do the medicine,
04:18then maybe he can, I don't know,
04:21change all the nappies or give him his feeds.
04:24Billy's a good dad, so let him do his job.
04:27He needs to be as involved as you are,
04:30or he's going to feel pushed out.
04:33Well, here endeth the first lesson.
04:36Are you ill?
04:37No, I'm just tired, that's all.
04:39Well, you'd better stay away from Evan.
04:41And all of us.
04:42There's nothing.
04:43I'm not risking it, Billy.
04:44Sorry, but I'm not.
04:46I'll go.
04:47No, Billy, did you just listen to a word I said?
04:51Will you two knock it off?
04:53Come on, upstairs, in your rooms.
04:55And I want you to wash your hands, please.
04:57Well, thanks for not saying anything.
04:59I don't like lying to you.
05:01I'm sorry.
05:02All right, well, get yourself a coffee.
05:04Then you and I are going to have a little chat.
05:07Yeah.
05:12Hey.
05:13I'm glad I've seen you.
05:14Sorry, I was just leaving.
05:16Oh, um, I wanted to check how Charles is.
05:20You know.
05:21No, not really.
05:23He's had a lot to deal with,
05:25but I'm sure he'll be all right.
05:27No, not really.
05:29He's had a lot to deal with, but things are getting better.
05:33I've got a casserole to check.
05:35OK.
05:39I've just seen Samson.
05:41You need to stop having a go at him.
05:43Is that today's story?
05:45He don't need any more grief.
05:47No wonder he's going on his trip early.
05:49Running away, do you mean?
05:51Oh, don't start all that again.
05:53Look, Samson and his creepy wee mate are the ones that should be locked up.
05:56That is why they're trying to skip the country.
05:58They're going travelling.
06:00Well, aren't they the lucky ones?
06:02Unlike Matty, who's just been put in hospital,
06:04just in case you're interested.
06:06Yeah.
06:07Looks like your son's not the only bigot in town.
06:09Samson's not like that, and you know it.
06:11Just get off his case.
06:13Oh, no, I will.
06:15Just as soon as he starts telling the truth.
06:20Didn't think I was doing anything wrong,
06:22other than drinking too much.
06:24I don't think Dawn would see it that way.
06:27It was only supposed to be a couple of cans,
06:29behind a village hall, two metres apart.
06:33It turned out I needed a proper offload,
06:36and Nate was a good listener.
06:38Lucky you.
06:40I expect Dawn could do with a proper offload,
06:44washed down with however many cans you actually had.
06:48OK, I get it.
06:50I wasn't being fair.
06:52I'll talk to her and I'll explain everything.
06:55What's the point in doing that?
06:57You should be pulling together,
06:59not getting into more arguments.
07:01And I don't want her to know that I was involved.
07:04Thank you very much.
07:06It was good of you. I appreciate it.
07:08I should hope so.
07:11And if it was just a one-off, then, well,
07:14we can leave it at that.
07:16Assuming you didn't pick anything up along the way.
07:20Social distancing, remember?
07:22Yeah, until you practically had to be carried home.
07:25All right, well, it's done now.
07:28And if it was only Nate?
07:30Yeah, it was.
07:31Then I can't imagine any real harms being done.
07:35Finished your coffee?
07:37No, but I was feeling...
07:39Never mind that. You can come and help me with the horses.
07:41Oh, no, no, no, it's not...
07:43It'll do you good. Clear your head.
07:47They said I could come in, but if you need a sleep...
07:50Oh, I'm glad you came.
07:54I still feel terrible.
07:56And I know I can't make anything better, but I'm so sorry.
08:00Oh, it's not your fault, darling.
08:03Except we both know it is.
08:05I should have kept me mouth shut.
08:07I shouldn't have said anything to anyone.
08:12You must have been terrified.
08:14No, please don't get upset, babe.
08:16You're my husband.
08:18I'm supposed to look out for you.
08:20I can't even think about what might happen.
08:22Amy... I'll never forgive myself for this.
08:24Stop, please.
08:27I don't know how to tell you this.
08:32I knew something really bad was going to happen.
08:38It's only a matter of time, babe, which is why I...
08:41I'm sorry.
08:45Les did this.
08:47Cos I begged him to.
09:07What are you doing?
09:09What are you doing? You can't just walk in.
09:12We need to have a little chat.
09:14No chance.
09:19OK, fine. We're going to do it the hard way.
09:22What are you doing?
09:24Get off!
09:26Where are you taking me?
09:40Les was being released.
09:42Robbo, he was just...
09:44He was toying with me.
09:46He was threatening me.
09:49Les has transferred big stuff at him, so...
09:52Like, I knew once I was on my own,
09:55I was going to get a proper beating.
09:57Why didn't you just tell someone?
09:59I did.
10:01If I'd have made it official,
10:03they'd have put me in segregation.
10:05That's... That's it for me.
10:07Segregation. That's even worse.
10:09Worse than getting your eye socket broken. On purpose.
10:14Sorry.
10:18I can't even imagine how desperate you must have felt.
10:21What?
10:23I wasn't meant to be quite this bad.
10:27I couldn't be in here, though.
10:29It's all I was bothered about.
10:32Because you're safe.
10:35Listen...
10:37You've got to promise
10:39you can't tell anyone anything.
10:41Les was doing me a massive favour, OK?
10:44If...
10:46If it comes out, we could go down for years
10:48and everyone would know what I grasped.
10:50I won't say anything. I promise.
10:54You are the bravest man I have ever met.
10:58And I am so, so sorry you're going through this.
11:02Have you got any idea how tough this is for Matty?
11:05Hmm?
11:11How dangerous it is.
11:17They fractured his eye socket.
11:21It doesn't bother you.
11:23Even though it was all down to your lies.
11:26It's not me who hit him.
11:28Might as well have been.
11:32I'm late for work.
11:34So if this is some grand plan to set Cain on me,
11:37get on with it.
11:39Well, luckily for you, he's out on a job.
11:41But, no, I think there's been enough violence.
11:44Yeah, from you. I should have reported you last time you tried this.
11:47Well, don't push it.
11:50What is it you want?
11:52Cos I've got nothing else to say to you.
11:54Just a chance to talk. Calmly.
11:57Sit down.
12:02Just in case you've still got a conscience hiding away anywhere.
12:11Do you remember Holly?
12:16Well, do you?
12:20Well...
12:23It'll be eight years this September.
12:26Remember?
12:29Eight years of the worst pain imaginable.
12:33Wondering what I could have done differently.
12:36Because when it's your child,
12:38all you want to do is keep them safe.
12:41Do you understand that?
12:45Come on.
12:47You're a dad now.
12:49And?
12:51Well, don't pretend you don't care.
12:53I don't.
12:54You're wasting your breath.
12:56I am trying to make you see what you're doing
12:59and how serious it is.
13:02As long as Matty's in prison,
13:04there is nothing I can do to protect him.
13:07So I am begging you to tell the police what really happened.
13:14Do you know what?
13:16I've just about had it up to here with you messing me around.
13:19So either start answering your phone
13:21or I will get your backside down here now.
13:23OK? Thank you. Bye.
13:25Chas, you're going to have to speak to Marlon.
13:28I can't be doing with his whinging any more.
13:30He always whinges. You should be used to it by now.
13:33Yeah, but this is a whole new level.
13:35Worse than you, even.
13:37Never mind Marlon, OK? Has any of you seen Samson?
13:40No, but it's...
13:41You're going to have to raise your game then, sweetheart,
13:43because I've got a hospital appointment this afternoon
13:45and I haven't got any cover.
13:47Well, is everything OK? It's not come back, has it?
13:50No, no, it's just a regular check-up.
13:52You know, a check-up, everything's OK.
13:54Yeah, but I can put money on them asking me again
13:56if I'm absolutely sure I don't want the chemo.
13:58Why wouldn't you?
14:00Yeah, I mean, if it reduces the risk of the cancer coming back.
14:03Because it was tiny and they caught it early.
14:06And for me, well, the side effects outweighed the small benefits,
14:10so I decided not to.
14:12So did you need it at all then? Isn't that why you had the...
14:14Double mistake to me, yes. Yes.
14:17Right, OK, the risk from the cancer
14:20is different to the risk from the faulty gene.
14:24It's far more complicated than that,
14:26but all I do know is that if I'm ever worried,
14:28all I can do is call my breast nurse
14:30and as long as I keep going to my regular check-ups,
14:32then everything's going to be fine.
14:34Thank you for your concern, though.
14:36Anyway, Marlon, eh?
14:37What's the matter with him?
14:39Is it still the Rona and Mandy thing?
14:41Oh, apparently it's wrecking his friendship with Paddy
14:44and it's all he can think about.
14:46It's certainly all he can talk about.
14:48Well, then you're going to have to sort it out. Me?
14:50I've got enough on and you're the one
14:52that's going to have to deal with him all afternoon.
14:57As the long summer holidays get closer,
15:00excitement builds for the younger members of the community.
15:05Pause for effect.
15:07And a fair few teachers.
15:09Pause for laughter.
15:11But it's also a time for reflection.
15:13I thought we'd agreed to wipe down the tiles after every shower.
15:16I'm trying to work, Mum.
15:17It's hardly a big ask and it stops the grout from going black.
15:20You should take pride in the house.
15:22Oh, so we're allowing for the deadly sins now, are we?
15:24You seem happy enough with Sloth.
15:27Short sermon this week?
15:29I've only just started.
15:30It's about how we should take time
15:32to appreciate the beauties of the world
15:34and how lucky...
15:37..we are.
15:44I'm his granny, so I get to give him a bottle while you get a rest.
15:48A few years' time, I'll be spoiling him with ice cream.
15:51Can we have ice cream?
15:52Er, maybe later.
15:54What's Grandad helping you with today?
15:56Fronted adverbials.
15:58Yep, my thoughts exactly.
16:00Don't put yourself down.
16:02Your Grandad is a man of many talents.
16:05Look, why don't we move on to them spellings, eh?
16:08Coffee?
16:09Yeah.
16:14You and Rose seem to be getting on pretty well.
16:16I don't know what I'd do without her, to be honest.
16:18I never thought I'd say that.
16:21I guess we've all done things in the past.
16:25I think Evan's got a cough.
16:27I'm sure he'll be fine, love.
16:28Still better check.
16:31Hey, hey, hey.
16:32Leave her to it.
16:33OK.
16:35Do them in your head.
16:37Tell him, Billy.
16:39Calm down.
16:41Calm down, Harry.
16:44L-O-S-E-R.
16:47That's not even on the...
16:51Oi!
16:52Well, stop winding her up, then.
16:53Hey, upstairs now.
16:55It was...
16:56I don't care. Upstairs.
16:59Billy, I can't manage you as well as the kids.
17:01You have got to keep a distance.
17:06She always claimed that she couldn't keep up with where he was living.
17:09Are you going to open it?
17:12It's a summer birthday card.
17:16She, er...
17:18felt bad for anyone being born at the end of December.
17:22You should tell Cherry you weren't one of those.
17:24What, a summer birthday?
17:26Yeah, we'll both have one.
17:28Silly Feb's not much better.
17:31Auntie Carmel sounds ace.
17:33Her and Ethan must have been dead close.
17:35She's not proper aunt, you know.
17:37Friend of Esme's, really.
17:39I shouldn't...
17:42I shouldn't have made sure.
17:44That she knew.
17:46Well, looked.
17:48Don't be so hard on yourself.
17:50You know, you can't keep up with everyone.
17:52Look at me and him with Oscar.
17:54Well, that's different now, isn't it?
17:56Yeah, I know, but it's still...
17:57It's OK. Thanks.
18:01Oh, Chas.
18:03So, I've messaged Rona and Mandy,
18:05telling them that I'm putting on a big girly get-together,
18:07but it's actually just them two forcing them to talk.
18:10What do you reckon?
18:12I reckon I'm glad I got a hospital appointment.
18:16Chas, a small Merlot, please.
18:27Bad day?
18:29Yeah.
18:36Hey.
18:38You missed the best bit.
18:40Well, I'd rather keep my feet on the ground, thanks.
18:42I'll make a horseman out of you one day.
18:45Right.
18:4715 seconds.
18:49With a witness.
18:51She's only doing what's right.
18:53Yeah, and I'm behaving.
18:56How's the head?
18:58Much better.
19:00But God won't let me near the kids.
19:03It's putting too much pressure on her.
19:05You know, I'm going to tell her what happened.
19:08I know what you said earlier, but you can't carry on like this.
19:11I'll keep you out of it.
19:13Billy!
19:14Billy.
19:16Evan's got a temperature and he's really sleepy.
19:19Oh, where's the number the hospital gave you?
19:21On the mantelpiece, but I don't think there's time.
19:23I'll drive. I'm fine. Come on, let's go.
19:25I'll phone ahead. Let them know you're on your way.
19:28Don't worry about the kids.
19:31Do you know what I'm struggling with?
19:34Why would you want to be friends with a guy like Josh?
19:38He's a laugh.
19:40Oh. So being transphobic's a laugh?
19:43No. And he was only messing around.
19:45Which makes it OK.
19:47I didn't say that.
19:49Have you got any idea the sort of problems he's had to face over the years?
19:53The questions, the looks, the attacks.
19:58You know, the funny thing is, most folk are absolutely fine.
20:02You know, just decent folks getting on with their lives
20:05and letting everybody else do the same.
20:08I don't even think most of the keyboard warrior types
20:11would actually do anything or say anything
20:14if they ventured outside and met a trans person.
20:16So what's the big deal?
20:18Because enough of them do.
20:20And it only takes a few.
20:22Because of them.
20:24My beautiful, brave boy.
20:26And God knows how many other people
20:28always have to be switched on, ready to defend themselves.
20:32I mean, can you imagine what that is like?
20:34He's always seemed OK.
20:35But try actually thinking about it.
20:38How exhausting it is
20:40that idiots like you and your mate think it's funny.
20:45You know, Matty's lucky because he has a wife and a family who love him.
20:53And proper friends who support him.
20:56But no-one can support him in prison.
20:59And so that fear, that's not an undercurrent any more.
21:03It's a fractured eye socket and cracked ribs.
21:08And I don't want to think about how hard someone had to hit my boy
21:12to smash his eye and crack those ribs.
21:15But I don't have any choice because I can't stop thinking about it.
21:18I'm sorry. OK, I get it.
21:20And I don't believe you.
21:22Moira. Moira. Hi.
21:25SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
21:40Three weeks in Bali.
21:43How come I end up in Aberdeen and he ends up there?
21:47Not that I'm jealous or anything.
21:49Well, I'm definitely not.
21:50Imagine spending three weeks anywhere with Ruby.
21:53Hey, sorry. Another pint of cereal, love?
21:57Still giving him money when it's not even his birthday.
22:01Do you want me to call her? Thanks.
22:03But I need to do that.
22:05Or I might get Esme too.
22:08And check no-one else has been missed.
22:13Another round, hmm? Toast his memory.
22:16Oh, I'll get that.
22:18And I won't use this.
22:21It can go in the charity box.
22:24He'd like that.
22:28Oh, right, you've not all fallen off a cliff then?
22:31You what?
22:32Well, Samson is supposed to be working today
22:34but he's not answering his phone.
22:36He's not answering for me, is he?
22:38Probably trying to lie low, given all the hassle he's getting.
22:42Well, he knows what to do if he wants it to stop.
22:44Come on, we'd best go find him.
22:46What, he was having his dinner?
22:47We can when we've checked he's OK.
22:49He needs our support.
22:51I need a chance for a quick take-out.
22:53Obviously not that bothered about him then.
22:55We'll get something at the Hyde.
22:59My missing barman.
23:01Wouldn't have anything to do with you, would it?
23:03Course not.
23:05I haven't seen him.
23:08Well, something's not right.
23:13This isn't getting you anywhere.
23:15I just want to smash his smug little face in.
23:19Look, I'm sorry he might have got beaten up,
23:21but it's not to do with me.
23:26You were why he's in prison.
23:35You know,
23:37every single person who loses their life because they're trans,
23:41it's an utter tragedy, Samson,
23:44and it happens too often.
23:46And I will not sit by and risk Mattie becoming a victim too.
23:52You know that he doesn't deserve any of this,
23:55him being in that place.
23:57It's never-ending torment for him,
23:59knowing that he's not safe during the day,
24:02and then at night, in his cell,
24:05just sitting there awake for hours,
24:07cos there is no respite.
24:09Just the constant fear of what's going to happen next.
24:12I've told you, it's not to do with me.
24:15I've told you, it's not down to me.
24:17There is nothing I can do.
24:19Except there is, because he's safe at the minute, in hospital.
24:23Which means there's still time for you to make this right.
24:27I am really sorry about what happened to him.
24:30But he did stab me.
24:34You went for him with a bottle, Samson?
24:37Yeah, because Josh made me.
24:39Is that true?
24:41Is it? Yes, I swear.
24:43There's no point going to the police, because he will just deny it.
24:46Unless you and Mattie say the same story,
24:51and tell the police that Josh attacked him.
24:55What, you mean lie?
24:57Don't come over all virtuous now.
24:59It's obvious that this was all down to Josh.
25:02So why should Mattie be the one to suffer?
25:06Yeah, I suppose.
25:09I suppose, as in, that means you'll do it?
25:14Please let me, OK?
25:17Oh, I can't stand seeing him like this.
25:21How have I let him down so badly?
25:23You haven't.
25:25We brought him in as soon as we realised.
25:27Thought it would be faster to get an ambulance.
25:29You did the right thing.
25:30How could this even happen?
25:32We've been isolating.
25:33Try not to worry. It is common at this stage,
25:36which is why we give you the direct contact details.
25:39He's on the strongest antibiotics we can give him.
25:43So what now?
25:45We make sure he's well hydrated and as comfortable as possible.
25:49Then we wait.
25:52This is exactly why I was scared of bringing him home.
25:56Because there's too many people.
25:58Kim's always on her flaming horses.
26:00Yeah, but she's always careful.
26:02Yeah, when people are watching.
26:03Trust me, you could be living in an operating theatre
26:06and have it happen.
26:09He's so fragile.
26:11I think you missed the dose of his meds.
26:13Yeah, she knows that.
26:14It's not related.
26:16You've nothing to blame yourselves for.
26:18It was a mistake.
26:21Is there anything else we can do?
26:23Not really.
26:24This will knock him back a bit.
26:25He'll need plenty of rest.
26:27So take the chance to get some yourselves.
26:30Which I realise isn't easy.
26:32Right, I'll go back to Clemmie and Lucas.
26:35Try and keep things normal for them.
26:38You know, if there's any change...
26:40I will call straight away.
26:42Thanks.
26:49I'm telling you, she's obsessed.
26:52With the bathroom grout?
26:54It's her way of letting me know that I'm not worthy.
26:58Well, she's well practised, bless her.
27:03Do you think things would have worked out differently
27:07if it had just been you and me?
27:11Your mother and I got off on the wrong foot.
27:14But she's grown on me.
27:16A bit like fungus.
27:19So I can't put that on her?
27:21No, we both know it goes much further back.
27:25I can't rewrite history or change what I did.
27:30More's the pity.
27:33It's not all on you?
27:34No, just mostly.
27:35But I don't want to argue about it, all right?
27:38I'm just glad that we can be friends.
27:42Thanks.
27:44What for?
27:45For propping me up.
27:47I haven't had that much to drink.
27:49You know what I mean.
27:52I'll always be here for you, Charles.
27:55No matter what.
27:58Any problems, just talk to Marlon.
28:00But don't take any of his nonsense.
28:02Don't you worry. He's on board with you, you know that.
28:04Right, well, I don't know how long I'm going to be, but...
28:06Hold on a second.
28:08Gail?
28:10Hey, can you look after the bar for me until she gets back, please?
28:13I'm supposed to be at the hospital at an appointment.
28:17It's OK. I'm back.
28:19I just had to deliver a message to Marlon.
28:22I mean, a food order.
28:24Come on, then. Good luck.
28:27That was a blooming quick food order.
28:30But it wasn't my dinner.
28:32Anyway, what do you think?
28:34You look fab. I'm so excited.
28:37I thought there'd be a bigger gang than this.
28:39It's a bit more exclusive than that.
28:43Please don't be mad.
28:45She's probably more worried about being bored.
28:47No, of course not.
28:50One of Marlon and Paddy's brilliant ideas, I assume.
28:53Mine.
28:55I still definitely want you to be friends.
28:58So stay for a drink? At least?
29:10How's he doing?
29:12I don't know.
29:14They're not really saying much.
29:17Or maybe they are, I'm just not taking it in.
29:21I should have brought him in earlier.
29:23When he first had a cough.
29:25There's only one cough, love.
29:27She's right. You weren't enough.
29:29It's one of the signs.
29:32Stop beating yourself up.
29:34His temperature's come down and he's stabilised.
29:37Oh, thank God.
29:39We will need to keep him in till he's a bit stronger.
29:42Yeah, yeah, of course, as long as he needs.
29:45Shouldn't be more than a few days.
29:47You won't send him home too early, will you?
29:49Of course they won't.
29:51Not that I'll have his granny to deal with.
29:53It's natural to be worried.
29:55But you are on top of this.
29:57It is just so much safer in hospital.
29:59Let's go one step at a time.
30:01These early months are really difficult,
30:03but you and Billy are coping well
30:05and you've obviously got a lot of support.
30:08I know I keep saying this,
30:10but now would be a good time to go home.
30:12Get some rest.
30:14You nearly broke yourself last time you were here 24-7.
30:17I hate leaving him.
30:19It's for the best and it doesn't have to be for too long.
30:47HE CHUCKLES
30:53I'll get you that coffee.
30:55Thanks.
31:01They've, er...
31:03done a nice job of it.
31:05Not bad.
31:08The grouting's pristine.
31:10Feel free to inspect.
31:12I think that might be a bit...
31:14What?
31:17Intrusive.
31:21Charles, it's me
31:23and it's a bathroom.
31:28I've got nothing to hide.
31:33Maybe we should have, um...
31:37tried doing this sooner.
31:39Hmm?
31:41Been more honest with each other.
31:43Been more honest with each other?
31:46Maybe.
31:53I've missed you.
32:01Jack and Cain will have left the pub yet.
32:04And Aunt Marvin.
32:06Is your Billy all you can think of?
32:08Well, he had a flat, Jack, since Breckie.
32:10Samson never ignores his phone for this long.
32:12Well, he might do,
32:14if he thinks he's got on the wrong side of that Charles.
32:16But it's not Charles phoning him, though, is it?
32:19So, what are you saying?
32:21I don't know, but...
32:23Cain didn't seem very worried.
32:25Cain's got it in for Samson.
32:27You don't think he's tacking him?
32:29Well, he has got previous.
32:31Then we need to find him pronto.
32:33Cain don't mess about with stuff like this.
32:35He could be anywhere.
32:37Let's start with Barnes.
32:41RADIO CHATTER
32:51I really am sorry, you know.
32:53I should have stopped any of this happening, but...
32:57You are right, I am a coward.
33:01Well, you've been brave enough now.
33:04And don't worry about Josh.
33:06If he wants to come at you, he'll have to get through Cain.
33:09And me.
33:11Thanks.
33:13Right, are you ready, then?
33:15You don't have to come in with me.
33:17But, well,
33:19the least I could do is give you a bit of support.
33:22You've been waiting for ages in reception.
33:24It might sound daft, but this is my mess.
33:26So I need to sort it out myself.
33:28And you can tell Mattie what's going on.
33:31OK.
33:34And, Samson,
33:36I won't forget this.
33:39You're saving Mattie's life.
33:47Go on, go on, keep going.
33:53Go on, you wee muppet.
34:04What are they doing now?
34:06Look, they're just sat there.
34:08They're not even talking.
34:10I don't like it.
34:11You said this would be a good idea.
34:13Can't you just go and jolly things up a bit?
34:15Just leave it a bit longer.
34:19I've got Ivy into a Makaton class over in Hottendale.
34:22Oh, look, I think we've got lift off.
34:24It's great, yeah.
34:26I've got a job.
34:28I've got a job.
34:30I've got a job.
34:33It's the signing language that Leo uses.
34:35It's becoming more and more popular, apparently.
34:37But it is a really easy way for babies to start communicating.
34:42Yeah.
34:43Of course you know, sorry.
34:45Still, it is good that they're a baby.
34:47Oh, God, I'm doing it again, aren't I?
34:49Is there anything more boring
34:51than somebody going on about their baby?
34:53Honestly.
34:54Why don't I go and get us some shots?
34:56Now you're talking.
34:59Oh, Grant.
35:03I'm sorry, I, um...
35:06I wasn't expecting any of that.
35:10Well, you seem to be enjoying it.
35:13Of course.
35:20Hey.
35:22We haven't done anything wrong, Charles.
35:25We haven't done anything wrong, Charles.
35:27No, I know, but...
35:31I just...
35:33don't know what it means.
35:39Well, um,
35:41it doesn't have to mean something.
35:45Just two consenting adults having a nice time.
35:50You did have a nice time, didn't you?
35:53Well, then.
35:55That's all it has to be.
36:02I need to get back.
36:13So, Mr Wright...
36:15Grant to Scrubb.
36:17Yeah.
36:22OK, um...
36:24Well, I'll see you again soon, then.
36:26For a drink or...
36:28something.
36:30When you're not too busy.
36:47You're messing everything up.
36:49Why? Did you do that?
36:51No, Clemmie lost her temper.
36:53There's no wonder being cooped up in here all the time.
36:57At least they're sticking to it.
37:00Did you, er...
37:02Did you talk to Dawn?
37:04No, I couldn't face her.
37:07I put Evan in hospital.
37:09She's never gonna forgive me.
37:11What you did was idiotic.
37:13Yeah, I know.
37:14But that's not why Evan's poorly.
37:16Well, no-one else is going out and getting drunk, are they?
37:18No infection sets in that quickly.
37:20Well, it's just too much of a coincidence.
37:22Did they say anything at the hospital?
37:25Jenny seems to think it happens all the time.
37:27However careful you are.
37:29I just reckon she was trying to make us feel better.
37:31Or maybe she actually knows what she's talking about.
37:34Don't worry, Evan's fine.
37:37Jenny basically sent us home.
37:39Yeah, he's already upmend.
37:41Little champ.
37:42She didn't say that.
37:44Your dad's just trying to stay positive.
37:46Yeah, his temperature's down and he's stabilised.
37:49I'm gonna go pack some stuff.
37:51He's gonna be in a while.
37:52I'll give you a hand.
37:53No.
37:54No, I'm fine on my own.
37:56What have I done now?
37:57I don't know, Billy.
37:58Because all I can think about
38:00is where were you yesterday?
38:03I've told you, I was on a job.
38:05But the urgent drive to Bristol.
38:07A night in the spare room.
38:09Am I supposed to believe that?
38:10It's the truth.
38:11Then why is Evan ill?
38:13Because there is only one way that that can happen.
38:15If someone brings in an infection.
38:17I don't think that's...
38:18Shut up, Dad!
38:20Well?
38:23Well, the thing is...
38:26It was me.
38:29So, there we are,
38:31dressed as Wurzel Gummidge and Aunt Sally,
38:34with these, like, cronky old bikes that we'd found.
38:37You stole two bicycles?
38:38No, no, nothing like that.
38:39No, there's always loads of bikes abandoned
38:41by the final year students after their exams.
38:43If you say so.
38:44Anyway, Vanessa's on our high horse.
38:46Not on a stolen bicycle?
38:47No, she's on her high horse.
38:49And this policeman is getting more and more officious.
38:51And I'm convinced he's going to arrest us.
38:53And that would be my entire life ruined.
38:56Well, you're slightly more experienced than that now.
38:58Fortunately.
38:59Let's not go there.
39:03And then...
39:04I don't know what came over me,
39:06but before I know it,
39:07I'm shoving the bike at the policeman,
39:09I'm grabbing Vanessa by the hand,
39:10and we're running to the town.
39:12Full-on police chase.
39:14And believe me, trying to merge into the crowds
39:16when you look like you've been sleeping in a ditch for a week
39:18is surprisingly difficult.
39:20Yeah, but you did get away, though.
39:22Yeah, eventually. Eventually.
39:24But...
39:26two days later,
39:28guess who rocks up with their Labrador
39:30in the small animals teaching hospital?
39:33No!
39:34I thought I was going to die.
39:36What happened?
39:38Well, a lot of grovelling.
39:40You know, Annie, it wasn't my most professional moment,
39:42but do you know what saved me?
39:44The dog survived.
39:45Oh, well, I will drink to that.
39:47Yeah.
39:48Oh, no.
39:49My round.
39:51I'm going to pat him hard out of his misery.
39:55Come on, come on.
39:57There you are.
39:59I think they might have clocked you.
40:01Do you reckon?
40:03How long were you going to keep hiding around there for?
40:05I just didn't want to interrupt.
40:07You didn't want us to work out you'd been set up.
40:09That was Gail, in my defence.
40:11You're under the bus, why don't you?
40:13Anyway, you needn't have worried, because...
40:15it worked.
40:17We're going into town.
40:19You're going... Is that a good idea?
40:21You do seem a bit... A bit what, Marlon?
40:23Nothing. Have fun. OK, then we are.
40:25Come on, Mandy.
40:27Oh, Marlon and Emma, can you get me a few quid for a cab?
40:30Oh, you are just...
40:32Bingo!
40:35Oh!
40:40You went to a hotel bar.
40:42I was meeting a client.
40:44There was hardly anyone else there.
40:46How could you do that?
40:48I didn't think it'd be a problem.
40:50I'm sorry, but...
40:52I did warn you I couldn't put the business on hold forever.
40:55Why didn't you say anything?
40:57Because she knows how selfish...
40:59how stupid she's been.
41:01If Effingham dies...
41:03Well, it's not going to happen.
41:05What if he goes downhill?
41:07Look, just stop blowing this out of proportion.
41:09Our son is in hospital!
41:11If you want to stick up for her, then you are on your own.
41:17It's such a betrayal.
41:19You must be devastated.
41:21I'm sorry, love, I had no idea.
41:23She's not getting away with this.
41:27I've got to go pack his things.
41:29I'll give you a hand, love.
41:33You need to have a word with your missus.
41:40This is never going to work.
41:43You'd better hope it does.
41:52You can see how angry she is.
41:54If you told her about yesterday, you'd be out on your ear.
41:57I can't let you do this.
41:59She can shout and scream at me all she likes.
42:02It'll all calm down once Evan's better.
42:05But he needs his dad.
42:07And Dawn needs you.
42:09So let's just say you owe me one.
42:13You go and see her, tell her you love her...
42:16and let her have a good old rant about the big bad witch.
42:28He definitely went in?
42:30Yes, I watched him go in.
42:32And then I waited down the road.
42:34He's not bluffing, definitely not.
42:36Oh, I just can't wait to tell Matty.
42:39About time, remember?
42:41Look surprised.
42:44Ah, PC Swirling.
42:46To what do we owe the honour?
42:48We've been having a very interesting conversation with Samson.
42:51Well, it was the first time for everything.
42:53Can I ask where you've both been today?
42:56Can I ask what this is about?
42:58You can just answer the question.
43:00Well, Mackenzie's been here helping me on the farm today.
43:03Why? And what has this got to do with Samson?
43:05He's made a very serious allegation against you.
43:08About me?
43:09All for you.
43:10What's going on?
43:12Er, nothing, darling.
43:14Murray Dingle, Mackenzie Boyd.
43:16I'm arresting you on suspicion of kidnapping and false imprisonment.
43:19What are you on about?
43:20Oh, it's just with Samson and making up stories again.
43:22You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence...
43:24if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court.
43:27Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
43:30Don't do anything stupid.
43:31I'll get you, Solicitor.
43:33Are you going to prison, Mummy?
43:35Course she's not.
43:36Listen, you two.
43:37Are you all right?
43:38Don't you worry about me, OK? I love you.
43:40Mwah.
43:41Mwah.
43:42See you.
43:43Bye.
43:44Bye.
