00:00🎵
00:23Morning.
00:24Why haven't you charged me yet?
00:26What's the hurry? You've got somewhere better to be.
00:29I just want to get it over with.
00:31Sorry to have left you here so long.
00:33I'll be conducting the interview as soon as your solicitor gets here.
00:36I didn't ask for a solicitor.
00:38I've been told somebody's organised one for you.
00:40Who?
00:41No idea.
00:43But they're on the way.
00:44And you'll need a bit of time with them before we start.
00:46What's the point?
00:48Best to have one.
00:49Accept all the help you can get.
00:51You must know who I am.
00:53What I've done.
00:54We'll try not to keep you waiting too much longer.
00:57Enjoy your breakfast.
01:07Yeah, but if I hadn't have sent Amelia that selfie, right,
01:10she wouldn't have posted it, Gary wouldn't have turned up
01:12and none of this would have happened.
01:14I just feel so stupid.
01:17Yeah.
01:19But you can't blame yourself.
01:21He just wanted to make a birthday special.
01:23And now I've ended up making it one of the worst.
01:25I think that ship's sailed a long time ago.
01:28You know, I was at the police station this morning, first thing.
01:31I couldn't sleep.
01:33They wouldn't let me see her, they wouldn't tell me anything.
01:36I just don't understand where any of this has come from, you know.
01:39I mean, I know she was upset because, you know,
01:41but to lose it like that with Wendy, I mean, where was her head at?
01:46She did say yesterday, before the police arrived,
01:48that she wanted to go back home.
01:51I think she wanted to get herself arrested.
01:54But that makes no sense.
01:56I know, Mandy, but she's had a life none of us can understand.
01:59Spent most of it in prison, so, ironically,
02:01it's the place she feels safest.
02:03She never meant to hurt Wendy.
02:07If we could just persuade her to drop the complaint.
02:10Good luck with that.
02:12Shall I? Yeah.
02:18Right, I've done us a picnic. Tell Lucas to hurry up, we're off out.
02:21How are we staying here?
02:22It's nearly the end of summer, got to get out, get some fresh air.
02:25Fresh air's boring.
02:26Fresh air is what keeps us alive.
02:29Look, we go down the lake, eat this, then we can go to the stables.
02:34What for?
02:35To see the horses.
02:36I've seen the horses.
02:38Are you going to argue about everything?
02:40Maybe.
02:41Right, I might let you sit on the horses,
02:45just so long as you have a bath afterwards, we can't risk any germs.
02:48Kim lets us sit on the horses, we don't have to have a bath after.
02:51No, she doesn't.
02:53When's she coming home?
02:55I'm not sure.
02:57Is she with Granny Rose?
02:58No.
02:59I miss Granny Rose. Can we go see her?
03:02No, you can't. She's never coming back.
03:05Why?
03:06Stop asking so many questions and go and get Lucas, we're going out.
03:12Kids.
03:15Oh, for God's sakes.
03:19Moira, it's me again.
03:21Why aren't you picking up?
03:22I just want to know what time you're going to come back home.
03:25Can you call me and let me know?
03:26Yeah, thanks a lot, bye.
03:30Why aren't you eating that?
03:31I don't like cheese.
03:32Well, you liked it yesterday.
03:34Can we have chocolate spread?
03:35We haven't got any.
03:36It's in the cupboard.
03:37Can you just eat that?
03:39When's Mum coming home?
03:40Today.
03:41What time?
03:42I don't know.
03:43Call her and find out.
03:44She's busy.
03:45Isn't she answering?
03:47I want Mum.
03:48Can you just shut up and eat your butties?
03:51It's not her fault she's not talking to you.
03:59You know what, you're right. She'll be home soon.
04:02Where's the chocolate spread?
04:04Right, well, I bet I can guess why you're both here.
04:15Well, we just wanted to check up on you after yesterday.
04:18You had quite a shock.
04:19Yeah, you're telling me.
04:21You know, it was totally out of character for Ella.
04:25Here we go.
04:26Well, it was.
04:27Was it, though?
04:29I mean, we don't really know her.
04:31But what we do know, it's not great.
04:34Well, that was in the past.
04:35It's who she is.
04:37Who she was, Wendy.
04:38Look, why are you both on her side when you should be supporting me?
04:43No, we are.
04:44Look, we understand how difficult it must have been,
04:48but you were never really in any danger.
04:51Um, Liam.
04:53Are you serious?
04:54Look at the state of her.
04:56I was on my own with her.
04:58I had no idea what she was going to do next.
05:00And, yes, I was.
05:01I was scared.
05:02I mean, she just wasn't herself.
05:05Exactly.
05:07She did what she did because Gary turned up like that.
05:09She did it so that you'd call the police.
05:13She wanted to punish herself.
05:14She wanted to end up back in prison.
05:17Well, maybe that's where she should be.
05:19No.
05:20Look, I tried.
05:21I tried to talk to her.
05:22I tried to be a friend, but she went crazy.
05:26It was like a switch flipped and she lost it.
05:30I mean, we can't just gloss over that.
05:33She deserves another chance.
05:35Liam, she's had plenty of chances,
05:37and she threw them all back in our faces.
05:40You're just letting your feelings get in the way of the facts.
05:43What she did was wrong.
05:46And let's face it, it's not a first offence,
05:48so I think justice should take its course.
05:51Please, Wendy.
05:53If she ends up back inside, she will go back to square one.
06:05Well, looks like your furniture's turned up.
06:08I knew it was you.
06:11This is really petty, Laurel.
06:13I expected better of you.
06:14Oh, I can't be bothered to talk to you, Jay.
06:16Have a nice life.
06:17I am so glad I'm not part of it.
06:20Not as glad as I am.
06:22All right?
06:24Never better.
06:25Taking that one to the tip.
06:27What do you mean? That's my stuff.
06:29I'm moving in here.
06:30Oh, right.
06:31Happy new home.
06:32Thanks.
06:33I'm glad to have my freedom back.
06:36Shall we, um, stop this sniping?
06:38Yeah.
06:39Maybe deal with this like adults.
06:42Is this the woman who stole my furniture?
06:44Oh, come on. Please, let's just stop.
06:47This isn't good for us. It's not good for the kids.
06:51It's not hard to have an amicable divorce, you know,
06:54if we're reasonable.
06:55We just split what's fair and we keep what's ours.
06:58You know, that doesn't work for me anymore.
07:00I need the money.
07:01You don't need the money.
07:02You're just squirrelling it away.
07:05Well, I'd like to see you prove that.
07:08What happened to you?
07:10What happened to the man that I fell in love with?
07:13I'm exactly the same as I've always been.
07:16Only now I'm skint.
07:18Yeah, if you say so.
07:20Well, I hope whatever dodgy dealings you're doing,
07:22it's finally going to make you happy, Jay.
07:28I never wanted a birthday party.
07:31I don't want to be reminded of what day it is.
07:34But my friends taught me round.
07:36I should have known better.
07:38I can't do the stuff people take for granted.
07:42Gary had every right to be angry. I don't blame him.
07:46But it was still hard, you know.
07:48Seeing him, dealing with him.
07:51I had to get out of there.
07:53Where did he go?
07:54You don't need to answer that.
07:56Into the street.
07:58Gary followed me. He wouldn't leave me alone.
08:01That's when Wendy found me and tried to help.
08:04She took me to the surgery.
08:06Then what happened?
08:07You don't need to answer that.
08:09She could see I was in a stir.
08:11She was trying to be nice.
08:13And it wound me up.
08:14Why would that wind you up?
08:15You don't need to answer that either.
08:17Because of where my head was at.
08:19My client was in crisis.
08:21As stated by her GP.
08:23I was angry and I hit her.
08:25I don't think you should say any more.
08:27Why? I'm telling the truth.
08:29My client and I need to talk in private.
08:31No, we don't. I don't need you.
08:33I was retained as your solicitor by Dr Kavanagh.
08:36Liam?
08:38Why would he do that?
08:40He's concerned for your welfare.
08:43He was here this morning when he called my office.
08:46Well, you can thank him, but he's wasting his money.
08:49They're going to bang me up.
09:06Hey, love.
09:07Me and the kids are just about to watch a film if you fancy joining us.
09:10Where are they?
09:11In the playroom.
09:13Good, because I don't want them to hear this.
09:16Why? Is everything all right?
09:19Not really.
09:20Look, there's a chance that Evan might need a bone marrow transplant.
09:25Oh, God.
09:27So they want us all to get tested.
09:29Just in case.
09:31Including Mum.
09:37I've got your text. What's up?
09:39I just spoke to the solicitor.
09:40Ella sent her packing.
09:41Why would she do that?
09:43I mean, she's always not thinking straight.
09:45Well, sadly, I think she is.
09:46She knows what she wants, and it's to get back inside.
09:48Right, well, we need to find a way of getting through to her, then.
09:50Yeah, but how? I can't...
09:57Hello, Ella.
09:58We were just talking about you.
10:00I didn't think they'd let you out.
10:02Did they charge you?
10:04No.
10:06I'd confessed.
10:08I was back in the cell, but then they told me that the witness had dropped the complaint
10:11and that I could go.
10:12What?
10:13Well, I spoke to Wendy. I mean, she wasn't even prepared to consider it.
10:15Well, she must have changed her mind.
10:17You didn't need to get involved.
10:20I did it for you.
10:23Oh, we're so worried.
10:26I'm so happy to see you, but I must say I'm quite surprised.
10:30I wasn't sure if you'd want to come back.
10:32I'm surprised myself.
10:35I'd got it into my head that I'd be better off back inside,
10:38but when they said I could go, I was relieved.
10:41I couldn't believe it.
10:43I didn't know where else to go.
10:45But this is your home.
10:46Is it?
10:47Yeah.
10:49Look, I'd understand if you and Wendy and Manpreet don't want me around after yesterday.
10:55Is it OK if I stay at the salon for a couple of days till I can move on?
10:58Find somewhere new?
11:00I want you here.
11:01We all do.
11:03I can't let you leave.
11:05Why don't you just stay at mine?
11:07You've already done enough.
11:08You should not be on your own.
11:09I'm used to it.
11:10A pokey little bed above a salon is not a home.
11:14You need somewhere stable to get your life back on track,
11:17and that's what I'm offering.
11:18As a friend, of course.
11:20Are you sure?
11:21If I were you, I'd bite his hand off.
11:25Go on, what did you say?
11:27Did you report her missing to the police?
11:29Of course I did, yeah.
11:31But they weren't much use.
11:33Look, she's a grown woman.
11:34She packed her own bags and left,
11:35and considering the last time she did that we didn't see her for 20-odd years,
11:39they're not going to send out a search party, are they?
11:41Why would you tell them all that?
11:43Because it's relevant.
11:45She don't put down roots.
11:46Well, not with us, anyway.
11:48So I'm sorry, love, but according to them, this is not to worry about.
11:51Well, I am worried because she's not even answering her phone.
11:54Look, I think we need to get Kim's private investigator involved.
11:58Maybe.
12:00Why are you being like this?
12:01I'm saying we need to find Mum ASAP.
12:03Look, even if we do, it doesn't mean to say that she'll come back.
12:05You know how selfish she is.
12:07She might not be up for an operation or for having a scar.
12:10No.
12:11No, she loves Evan and she wouldn't let him down.
12:13Well, there's got more faith in her than I have.
12:17We all need to get tested.
12:19No exceptions.
12:21So I am going to do everything I can to find her.
12:31He just crashed.
12:36Hey, you all right?
12:38Oh, it's you.
12:39Oh, what a lovely warm welcome.
12:41I thought you were Myra. She's due back any time.
12:44She's not coming home tonight?
12:46You what?
12:47She sent me a message.
12:48When?
12:49Earlier.
12:50What, you didn't tell me?
12:51I thought you already knew.
12:52Oh, I don't believe it.
12:53Sorry, Dad.
12:54Right, you two will have to play on your own now.
12:56He's no good.
12:57Kim, make yourself useful for once.
13:00Cain.
13:01Ignore your dad, boys.
13:03Oi, don't take your bad mood out on them.
13:06I've been calling her all day and he gets a message.
13:08Well, that's not his fault, is it?
13:10Sure she'll be back tomorrow?
13:12Don't bother, she can do what she likes.
13:14Yeah, obviously.
13:16Give me a break.
13:17Oh, come on, Cain, it's not fair on the kids.
13:20The last thing they need is you and Myra having a drink problem.
13:23It's one can.
13:24Never is one can when you're in this kind of mood.
13:26You shouldn't be knocking it back and then telling her that she can't.
13:28Yeah, well, she's not even here.
13:30Oh, you know what I mean.
13:32You need to support her by cutting back.
13:35I don't think it really is a drink.
13:37Maybe you got it wrong.
13:38No, it was you the one that said she was different,
13:40that she was moody and she was always picking fights.
13:42Yeah, well, I was just letting off steam.
13:44You know I can overreact.
13:45Make up your mind, Cain.
13:46Look, it's nothing.
13:47She'll be back tomorrow and everything will be right.
13:50All right?
13:51Yeah.
13:52So you going to be having an housewarming?
13:54No.
13:55It's only temporary, isn't it?
13:56Just so that I look skint.
13:58Smart move.
13:59You're the picture of poverty.
14:00I wouldn't go that far.
14:02I'm impressed.
14:04No money, no mates.
14:06Basically nothing left since Laurel gave you the boot.
14:09Do you know what?
14:10It's a smart look for a man heading into the divorce courts.
14:13Things look tense for you and Laurel before.
14:16Yeah, she's trying to get me to back down, isn't she?
14:19Make her not sell the house.
14:20All of a sudden, she wants to be amicable.
14:22Yeah, well, we all say that.
14:24It always gets messy, no matter how reasonable it seems.
14:26Well, maybe I don't need to tie up all of my money, you know?
14:32Well, it's better to be safe than sorry, isn't it?
14:35It's a great investment.
14:36Yeah, well, look, I've got to go.
14:38I've got to go.
14:39Bye.
14:40Bye.
14:41Bye.
14:42Yeah, well, how long till it pays out?
14:44I'll give it time. It's not going to happen overnight.
14:46I'm still waiting on the land.
14:47But I can pretty much guarantee
14:49there'll be a millionaire coming this time next year.
14:51Yeah?
14:52I don't want to be waiting that long.
14:54It'll be worth it.
14:55Better I'd be.
15:03Right, well, make yourself at home.
15:06You know where everything goes.
15:08And just put anything wherever you want.
15:10You can leave your bra on the door handle, if you like.
15:14I'm only saying that cos Mandy's always leaving her bras lying around.
15:19I should really just stop talking about bras, shouldn't I?
15:21Yeah.
15:22Yeah.
15:23You're being weird.
15:24Yeah, I am. Sorry.
15:25Are you having second thoughts?
15:27No, absolutely not.
15:28No, I want you here.
15:30Is this OK? I haven't put too much pressure on you or...?
15:33No.
15:34I still can't believe you asked me to move back in.
15:37After everything I did, to give me a second chance.
15:41You're a special man, Liam Kavanagh.
15:43Well, we're friends.
15:44It's what friends do, eh?
15:46We help each other.
15:49And I'm grateful, but...
15:51But I don't think everybody would be so keen to have me back.
15:54Especially Wendy.
15:56I'm sure she'll understand.
15:58She's always been so kind to me.
16:00She didn't deserve that.
16:02I know it's no excuse, but...
16:05Yesterday, my birthday, I was already feeling the pressure
16:08and then Gary turned up and it...
16:10It just got too much.
16:12Yeah.
16:13Yeah, you won't do anything like that again, will you?
16:16No. I've got far too much to lose now.
16:18Good.
16:21Look, why don't I just get us a take-out, a bottle of wine
16:24and we'd celebrate your fresh start?
16:26That'd be lovely.
16:27Great.
16:28Well, you get settled. It won't be long.
16:35Bye.
16:58Mum?
16:59Where are you?
17:01Look, I need you. It's about Evan.
17:04He's had a marrow transplant.
17:06Please, come back. You need to get tested.
17:09Look, just call me when you get this, OK?
17:21Oh, for God's sake, Kim, stop ignoring me.
17:24We need to talk.
17:26If you have done something to Rose,
17:29you've got to tell me.
17:37Hi. Two lasagnas to take-away, please, and a side salad.
17:41We don't do take-aways.
17:43Oh, no, I texted Marlon, said he'd be fine.
17:45Oh, did you now? Go on, then.
17:47Thanks. And two sticky toffee puddings, my favourite.
17:50It's all a bit stodgy, isn't it?
17:52Don't tell Marlon that.
17:53Oh, no, I mean, it's delicious.
17:54I just mean, I'm not going to be able to move afterwards.
17:56Well, moving's overrated.
17:58Who's the other one for, then?
18:00Is it Bear? Cos I know he likes to slob out after a big meal.
18:03Actually, it's, um...
18:05It's...
18:06It's Varela.
18:07Yeah, she's, um, moved back in with me.
18:10Oh.
18:11You don't waste any time, do you?
18:13I heard she'd been arrested.
18:15And released, yeah, thankfully.
18:18Well, I'm very pleased for the pair of you.
18:20Anna, we're just friends, nothing more.
18:21No, you don't need to explain.
18:23She's got you wrapped right around her finger.
18:26It's not like that.
18:27Right, I'm going to go and sort your order with Marlon.
18:29I won't be a sec.
18:30No, don't rush.
18:34I was, um...
18:36hoping to bump into you.
18:38Can I buy you a drink?
18:39I'm waiting for Bob and he won't be long.
18:42I just wanted to thank you
18:45for withdrawing your complaint against Ella.
18:48Well, you and Manpreet put me under a lot of pressure, so...
18:52We didn't mean to.
18:54Yes, you did.
18:55And it would have made us all working together very awkward
18:58if I'd have stuck to my guns.
19:00Well, I wouldn't have held it against you.
19:02I would have understood your reasons.
19:04It didn't feel like that.
19:05Anyway, look, it's done.
19:06Let's just hope I don't live to regret it, eh?
19:09You won't.
19:10Ella is a good person.
19:12I'm not sure I trust your judgment on that, Liam,
19:15because I saw another side of her yesterday and it scared me.
19:19I mean, no matter what her reasons were,
19:22she's clearly unstable.
19:25Is that your medical opinion?
19:27Oh, and is that you trying to undermine me?
19:29No, look...
19:31Ella knows what she did was wrong.
19:33She was acting irrationally because of Gary.
19:36She was upset.
19:37Oh, yeah, Gary upset her, but then, of course,
19:39he's still grieving from the last time she acted irrationally.
19:43No, that is not fair.
19:44Isn't it?
19:45Why is it that you can see it from her point of view and not from his?
19:48I can!
19:49Look, Ella has served her time.
19:51She can't keep paying for the past.
19:54What happened yesterday was in the present.
19:57She'd lost it and she attacked me.
19:59So what happens next time something goes wrong for her, hmm?
20:13Has the film finished?
20:14Yeah, and we're hungry.
20:16You're always hungry.
20:17Tell you what, give me a minute and I'll come out and make some pasta.
20:20OK.
20:21I'll tell you what, why don't you and Lucas go upstairs and wash your hands
20:24and then come back down and lay the table?
20:26Do we have to?
20:28Well, if you do, you might get ice cream for pudding.
20:32How's that?
20:33Sure.
20:58PHONE RINGS
21:06Hey.
21:08I spoke to Dad.
21:10He bought every word.
21:14I know, Billy, I hate lying about Evan, but it's the only way.
21:20He's not going to know what's hitting him tomorrow.
