00:00Blue is clearly a cold-blooded killer.
00:02I mean, he doesn't need a reason to do what he does.
00:04He gets satisfaction out of the act itself.
00:07You'll pray when you sleep.
00:12Oh, yes. Oh, please.
00:13Can you help me?
00:14I think my granddaughter's in danger.
00:16I knew I couldn't trust you.
01:00Something's got a hold on me lately
01:03JJ, question.
01:05Why would you throw your football boots in the pond?
01:10Feels like the walls are all closing in
01:12And the devil's knocking at my door
01:16Don't you know
01:18I'm
01:20Too
01:21Fun
01:22To
01:26When you're not next to me
01:29I'm
01:31I'm falling apart
01:33Hello, I need to talk to someone.
01:35It's about my mother, Martha Blake.
01:37I have managed to re-book your appointment with the GP.
01:39We can all go today.
01:41Nice.
01:43Yeah, you're breaking my heart
01:45So, the 200 quid pair of football boots,
01:47and you just threw them in the pond?
01:49I didn't. Why would I do that?
01:51I don't know.
01:53I don't know.
01:55I don't know.
01:58And what's she doing, JJ?
02:02I know you're not going to tell me why,
02:04but you already know.
02:06So Charlie's going to take Oscar and Letsy to school today,
02:08and you're going nowhere.
02:12Because
02:14you're coming with me, alright?
02:20He's taken me to the police.
02:24But I find out you've been blabbing.
02:26You know what will happen,
02:28don't you?
02:32Darren?
02:36Yeah?
02:38Maybe I could just come with you?
02:40No, this is something your brother and I need to do.
02:44And today, we're going to find out the truth.
02:46Right.
02:48Come on.
02:51Maybe this is it.
02:53You'll be free.
02:59Ah, here he is.
03:01The international man of mystery.
03:03You were home late last night.
03:05Yeah, not early this morning.
03:07What have you been up to?
03:09No, no, not in there.
03:11I hired this to clear a load of rubbish
03:13from the allotment and take it to the tip,
03:15and that's already full.
03:17It's not empty back.
03:20Oh, well, dirty work, aren't they?
03:22Listen, I need to get going.
03:24I shouldn't be parked here.
03:26Oh, well, what are you doing for the rest of the day?
03:28We cleared our diaries so that we could get to know our uncle a bit better.
03:30Oh.
03:32Oh, well, that's lovely, but today's really not good.
03:34I'm sorry.
03:36I have big plans in the allotment.
03:38I've only got the car for a few hours.
03:40But I'll see you later for supper.
03:46Well, he's definitely a bleak.
03:48What's he up to?
03:56Sorry to have kept you waiting.
03:58That's OK. You know what a good job you all do.
04:02So, Rose,
04:04how are you today?
04:06It's Ro.
04:08Oh, sorry.
04:10There is a note here from reception.
04:12Apologies. That is my mistake.
04:14Ro,
04:17can you tell me a little bit about why you're here?
04:21Basically,
04:23the reason that I changed my name
04:25is because
04:27I'm really a boy.
04:29You're questioning your gender?
04:31I'm not questioning.
04:33I know.
04:35How old are you?
04:37I'm 12.
04:41Exploring your identity is a very normal part
04:43of growing up.
04:46What you feel about your gender will,
04:48more than likely, change over time.
04:50We've been feeling like this for months now.
04:52It's longer than that.
04:54It's as far as I can remember.
04:56I know this is the first time nobody's come to see you,
04:58but, well,
05:00it's taken us some time to process things as a family.
05:02I'm sure.
05:06Excuse me.
05:08That shouldn't bother us again.
05:10So,
05:12what are the next steps?
05:15I'm sure you'll be happy for a long time,
05:17and we're just feeling a little bit clueless
05:19as to how to help him.
05:21Yeah, and we're worried, actually,
05:23about, you know, what some of the options might be.
05:25But we both want whatever's best for Ro, right?
05:27If we were to make a diagnosis
05:29of gender dysphoria,
05:31then I can refer Ro to gender services,
05:33where they'll do the appropriate
05:35mental health screenings and counselling.
05:37Right. But we're not sure that we definitely
05:39want to go down the whole puberty blockers route.
05:41That's no longer an option.
05:43But when Ro is around 16,
05:45and depending on certain criteria,
05:47we may be able to prescribe gender-affirming hormone treatment.
05:49I have to wait that long?
05:51No, but my body's changing now.
05:57We've been advised
05:59that there isn't enough credible
06:01evidence to suggest that stopping puberty
06:03leads to any improvement
06:05in mental health later on in life.
06:07Plus,
06:09the long-term effects of children
06:12with this type of medication is still very much unknown.
06:14Well, hang on a second.
06:16I've read every report under the sun,
06:18including the CAS report.
06:20I don't know which way's up now.
06:22We need help. We have a child in pain here.
06:24What can we do now?
06:26I can make another referral
06:28to the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.
06:30Please.
06:36There are a multitude of reasons
06:38why a child seeks to change their gender.
06:41It isn't one-size-fits-all,
06:43so Ro's care plan will be individual to him.
06:45Well,
06:47that sounds good.
06:49And, you know, we don't want to rush into anything
06:51that could be potentially harmful.
06:53Look, I have to do something.
06:55I know you do.
06:57Listen,
06:59he's changed his clothes, his name,
07:01his pronouns, like, the law.
07:03Nothing to it. He's a boy already.
07:07Mum, it's not enough.
07:09Emily, have you discussed the potential risks
07:11and benefits of socially transitioning,
07:13and would you like some support with that?
07:15Of course we've discussed it. We're fully supportive.
07:17There's no way Ro could have carried on the way he was.
07:19No way.
07:21I'm sorry to not have the answers you were looking for.
07:23I'll make the referrals today,
07:25but I'm afraid the waiting list
07:27to access Child Mental Health Services
07:29is currently a few weeks.
07:31And for Gender Services, it's even longer.
07:33We're currently looking at two years.
07:35Two years? Before we can see someone?
07:38Look, I can't...
07:40I can't stay like this.
07:42We don't want to take any risks.
07:44And if they're saying that they don't know enough
07:46about this medication,
07:48then what else can they do?
07:50I don't know. I'm not a doctor, but I thought they'd be able to do something.
07:52I'm sorry. I know you were hoping
07:54for more from today.
07:56Come on, let's go.
07:58Come on.
08:00Come on.
08:03Hi.
08:07You should take these.
08:09They've got some good advice
08:11on socially transitioning
08:13and counselling options.
08:15What if Ro can't wait years?
08:23You know, weirdly,
08:25I've always dreamed of owning an apartment.
08:27Obviously we have gardeners,
08:29but this will literally be the first thing
08:32I've ever lived in my whole entire life.
08:34Hey.
08:36Hey.
08:38I thought that it's not lovely to see you,
08:40but what on earth are you doing here?
08:42We thought we'd come help you.
08:44Yeah, we bought you a dahlia.
08:46Well, that's wonderful. Thank you.
08:48Well, listen, if you really want to help,
08:50maybe you girls could go down to the garden centre
08:52and pick up some fertiliser.
08:54I can go.
08:56Yeah, it might be better if you both go.
08:58It's rather heavy and I do need quite a lot.
09:00Let's get a couple of tubs.
09:02Sure, thanks.
09:04I tell you what, how about
09:06you pop out and get us all some lunch?
09:08Oh, no, don't be silly.
09:10We bought a picnic.
09:12So just sit down, relax,
09:14and I will be at your beck and call.
09:16I'm going to pop the kettle on.
09:24I'm not so pleased
09:26obviously doing it.
09:29Mr Jeremy Blake?
09:31Er, yes, that's me.
09:33I need to ask you a few questions about your mother.
09:41Two orange juice, please. Thank you.
09:43Look, I'm sorry.
09:45I just find things hard.
09:51Got anything else you want to tell me?
09:53Now's the time. It's just you and me.
09:56Just
09:58whatever happens next.
10:00I'm glad I got
10:02to know you.
10:04My dad.
10:06Why do you look so scared?
10:10Why are we here?
10:12I thought you were going to take me to the NIC.
10:14What, you thought I was going to take you to the police
10:16for fly-tipping your own boots?
10:18Don't be stupid. Come here. Hey, you.
10:20Hey.
10:22That's the real reason I brought you here.
10:24It's to introduce you to someone, okay?
10:26Look over my right shoulder.
10:30Who's that?
10:32He's a coach for United.
10:34Yeah, he is. Now, listen.
10:36I know the last couple of months have been tough.
10:38You know, with Frankie being wild,
10:40Nancy moving out, and now Oscar struggling.
10:44So I thought it'd be good for you to have something positive
10:46in your life.
10:48Now, I saw that look on your face when you were ditching
10:50them boots.
10:53I know it's because you thought your football career was over.
10:55Well, it's not.
10:57Over here. Come on.
11:01Say hello.
11:03Hi, coach.
11:05Good to see you, JJ.
11:07You know, you're very lucky to have this guy in your corner.
11:09Come on. He did nothing.
11:11He'd been on our radar at the club for a while,
11:13but we thought he was still injured.
11:15If you hadn't been for your dad calling us up last night
11:17telling us how much work you'd been doing behind the scenes,
11:19we might have forgotten all about you.
11:22I just wondered if there was a JJ-shaped gap
11:24they needed filling.
11:26We want you on the squad for the summer tour.
11:28What?
11:30Obviously, you've still got to prove you're fit enough for a game.
11:32I am. Totally.
11:34I can't believe this.
11:36I won't let you down.
11:38Either of you.
11:42Freddie.
11:44Freddie, where are you?
11:46Where's Freddie?
11:48I was in the canteen. Nobody's called me.
11:51He's gone for tests.
11:53Grace, I'm sorry. Someone should have told you
11:55in reception, but he's gone for an MRI.
11:57He'll be back soon, okay?
11:59My Freddie.
12:03This must be a shock.
12:05Grace, why don't you go home?
12:07I know you've been sleeping at the hospital.
12:09You must be dying for a hot shower and some proper food.
12:11I don't really have anywhere to go.
12:13You can stay with me.
12:15Well, you'd have to share a bathroom
12:17with Nancy, Ethan and Tom.
12:19Oh, and Dave lives there, too.
12:21Why have you got so many people staying with you?
12:23What have you done with them all?
12:25Oh, don't ask.
12:27Well, they'll soon get out of the way when you remind them
12:29that it's your flat.
12:31Um, Grace, do you want any of this before I bin it?
12:39Blue's been here?
12:41Who's Blue?
12:44Well, to be fair,
12:46that was the best brewery I've had in ages.
12:48Don't tell Tony that.
12:50It'd be badgering him to write a review.
12:52United?
12:54I don't know. Hey, don't get sad.
12:56I know I've been the kid
12:58who needs his dad to sort out all his problems,
13:00but...
13:02Yeah, guess you've not had a dad, have you?
13:04But I'm here now, okay?
13:08Well, that stuff earlier about wanting me to tell the truth...
13:10Yeah, I just...
13:13I want you to be vulnerable.
13:15You know, to tell me what football really meant to you.
13:17You know, bottling it all up is no good for you.
13:19It just comes out in weird ways, like I witnessed yesterday.
13:21Luckily for you,
13:23I got overexcited when I saw Coach Andy.
13:25So you didn't have to bare your soul, did you?
13:29Frankie's not gonna be happy.
13:31What do you mean? She'll be pleased for you.
13:33She's got a dance school whenever that happens
13:35and you've got this. It's great.
13:37Yeah, I guess.
13:39We're just used to spending all our time together.
13:42Hey, you should have a kick about more often.
13:44Yeah, we can.
13:46Don't forget I've got a dodgy heart.
13:48You're not that old.
13:50No, I'm not old. I've just lived, all right.
13:52Oh, here she is. What's going on?
13:54It's Oscar.
13:56He's dropped a bit of a bombshell.
14:08Thank you.
14:10So, Oscar wants his eyebrow pinned.
14:12No, he's not you from the 90s.
14:14So, no, this is actually something concerning.
14:16He, um...
14:18He wants to move in with me to Cindy's.
14:20No, he's become so withdrawn.
14:24There's definitely something going on in that boy's head
14:26that he's not telling us.
14:28And it's scaring me.
14:30What if Oscar ended up in a really bad place?
14:32He won't.
14:34Not if he's with you.
14:36You always manage to make him talk in a way that I never can.
14:39I hate you. Come here.
14:41I miss you.
14:43Oh, I miss you too.
14:45When is our life going to get boring?
14:47I'm desperate for it to get boring.
14:49Well, I promise when you get back in my bed,
14:51I will bore you to sleep every night.
14:53Good.
14:55Thanks for lunch and everything.
14:57Oh, and Jojo, well done for making the squad.
14:59We're really proud of you.
15:01It's just nice that something good is happening
15:03for someone in this family.
15:05Cheers.
15:09I appreciate you following up on things, officer,
15:11but as you can see, this niece is perfectly fine.
15:13Well, like I said, the other one's at the garden centre.
15:15Well, I don't know why Martha's calling you guys
15:17pretending to be a concerned grandmother.
15:19I mean, she's the one you should be questioning.
15:21Well, she's in good hands now.
15:23And rest assured, I will make sure
15:25that she won't be bothering you again.
15:27Thank you for filling me in on your mother.
15:29I hope she's OK.
15:31Oh.
15:33Gosh, I'm sorry.
15:35It's mad, the junk I seem to accumulate.
15:38Is that your size?
15:40No, not really my style either.
15:42I'll be off then.
15:44Thank you.
15:46Was that true?
15:48How your mother emotionally abused you?
15:50Well,
15:52the new generation have the language
15:54to talk about things like that,
15:56but back then, I just thought it was normal
15:58that she wouldn't let me have any friends
16:00or relationships.
16:02But, Jeremy, that doesn't excuse the fact
16:04that she drugged you yesterday,
16:06attacked you in hospital.
16:08I mean, she's dangerous.
16:10She was, but she's not now.
16:12Her attack yesterday was the final straw.
16:14I won't let her do to you
16:16what she's been doing to me all these years.
16:18So that's
16:20why you took her to her care home?
16:22Exactly.
16:24I had to.
16:26Well, you did the right thing.
16:28Thanks.
16:30Listen, Dilly, can we keep this between us?
16:32I'm not ready to share this
16:35with anyone else.
16:37It's too painful.
16:39Yeah.
16:41Yeah, of course.
16:43Cup?
16:45Why not?
16:59Hey.
17:01Hey.
17:04I just helped him pack his bag.
17:06He's gonna go and stay with Nancy for a couple of days.
17:08Hey, guys.
17:10Um, I'll go and get your clothes, mate.
17:22What happened?
17:24Does Darren know anything?
17:26What is there to know?
17:28Apart from the fact I'm on the team
17:30for a professional summer footy tour.
17:33It's Dad now, is it?
17:35Right, this tour,
17:37will you be away the whole summer?
17:39I don't know.
17:41I just know it's gonna be sick.
17:43And you've got your dancing school.
17:45Who knows what will happen?
17:49We'll hardly see each other.
17:53Will you miss me?
17:55Yeah, of course I will.
17:57Don't worry.
17:59I'll stick to our deal.
18:03As long as you keep that mouth of yours shut.
18:07Anyway,
18:09as soon as Nancy goes down,
18:11we can move on with our lives.
18:13Come on.
18:15Bernard's waiting.
18:19I'm sorry.
18:33Oh, out to be young again, eh?
18:35Oh, Scott and Sinead, or is he living the dream?
18:37Aw,
18:39the dog won't be the same without Anita Tinkle.
18:41Well, you could always pop a little frock on
18:43and give us your best bet, middler.
18:45Probably shouldn't say that, should I?
18:47Scott left a couple of his seeker numbers.
18:49Maybe she'll try it.
18:51You doing all right over there?
18:53Living the dream.
18:57Look, your mum and I were gonna book you
18:59some counselling sessions.
19:01I'm gonna pay for them so you won't have to wait, okay?
19:03And I thought this weekend we could do something together.
19:05Something fun.
19:07How about we go fishing?
19:09Just because I'm a boy
19:11doesn't mean I automatically like fishing.
19:13Fair enough.
19:15Dad, can we just go to the cinema or something?
19:17Yeah, of course we can.
19:21You know, I thought this morning
19:23I was gonna send him under, but he seems to be doing okay.
19:25Well, kids are more resilient these days.
19:27He's probably coping better than us.
19:30Hmm. Oh, sorry, do you want a glass?
19:32No, no, no, I'm okay.
19:34Right, the mince is all done, pasta's ready,
19:36buns are in the oven.
19:38It's time to set the table, Lorinca,
19:40and indeed the elephant.
19:42I will set the table.
19:52It's for you.
19:54Thank you.
19:56What's your favourite flower?
19:59Oh, well, that's easy.
20:01The begonia.
20:03It was a favourite flower of someone I loved very much.
20:05And you know, just as the people
20:07we love will die one day,
20:09so too do flowers.
20:11And that's why I like to plant new ones,
20:13so I can remember them after they're gone.
20:15Is that a begonia?
20:17Oh, no.
20:19That flower's called blue butterflies.
20:21I've planted a lot of those recently.
20:23One sneeze and they make me pick her up from school.
20:25Yeah, I know.
20:27She seems fine.
20:29Maybe I should take her home.
20:31So did I miss anything
20:33while I was gone?
20:35Uh, nope, nope.
20:37Just a spooky thing.
20:39What about that one?
20:41Ah, that's a rose.
20:43It's called Martha.
20:45I'm going to plant it with these ones.
20:47See?
20:49And then they grow.
20:51They're going to be
20:53the perfect combination.
20:56Right, you, I think we should get you home.
20:58Let's see.
21:00Yes, you're very warm.
