00:00You have caused so much pain to so many people.
00:16No, leave me alone!
00:18I don't trust you.
00:20And I ain't gonna be the monk who comes and visits you in prison.
00:23No!
00:25You can just dream where you want.
00:27No one's coming.
00:32Because no one cares.
00:34I look in his eyes!
00:37I guess his car will call him, then, eh?
00:57No!
01:10Hello, son.
01:27Bee!
01:28I'm not being funny, but we hardly knew each other.
01:32I mean, weren't you a few years above me?
01:34I was in the sixth form, yes.
01:36But that didn't stop you laughing and calling me all sorts just because I got on with the teachers.
01:41We were kids!
01:42When everyone teased each other, that's just how it was.
01:45That's not quite how it happened.
01:48But whatever.
01:49Are you listening to this?
01:50Because you know me and you know I'm not like that.
01:52No, of course not.
01:53See?
01:54Yeah, but maybe you should hear her out.
01:55Look, you may not be like that now, but your posse tormented me and my friends.
02:02Friend.
02:03Taking the mickey out of our hair and our clothes.
02:07I never did that.
02:08Yeah, but you never defended me, though, did you?
02:11These gossip behind our backs.
02:13Start off childish rumours and spread them around the classroom.
02:16Do you remember your mate that clocked a tampon in front of the sports hall and told everyone it was mine?
02:23I stayed home for 11 days and a whole morning after that.
02:27That weren't my idea.
02:28Yeah, but you still let them humiliate me in front of everyone, didn't you?
02:32Look, whatever you thought she was like then, I can assure you, she's not that person now.
02:38Yes, weren't who I was then either.
02:40I remember what it was like at school times.
02:42You know, the whispering, the teasing, being ignored.
02:45I mean, it was horrible.
02:46Yeah, yeah.
02:47You see what it does to people?
02:49What, you swirling around with your perfect life.
02:51Oh, you think my life's perfect?
02:52I'm sure you've got a nice home, kids that can do no wrong, handsome hubby on your arm.
02:58You know nothing about me.
02:59Right, you don't get to stand there and judge me about something.
03:01You say happened over 30 years ago.
03:04Look, I think we should go.
03:07Linda.
03:08It's okay.
03:10I forgive you.
03:12Oh, dear.
03:13Hi.
03:14You're a hard one gonna catch when you got your stomp on, ain't ya?
03:27Here you go.
03:28Picked up your meds for ya.
03:30Gin, you know, you don't have to do this.
03:34Why don't you just come back with me, yeah?
03:36No, thank you.
03:37You've clearly picked your side.
03:39Well, we don't have a big size.
03:41This isn't even about sides.
03:44We're supposed to be one big family, right?
03:46Yes.
03:47Yeah.
03:48It's a lovely family that has been torn asunder by that little witch.
03:51All right, I'll admit, she's not perfect, but she's just a kid.
03:55And she's going through a lot right now.
03:57God.
03:58Why am I the only one who sees her for what she is?
04:02Maybe because you're the only one that's not seen straight right now.
04:04That's why you need these.
04:06Gin, you gave Jaz a real scare last night, okay?
04:11I haven't actually been feeling like myself for a while.
04:17Not just interstitially.
04:19Well, for all the more reason to listen to your doctor, yeah?
04:24I'll think about it.
04:25Okay.
04:26But it won't change anything.
04:29Jasmine is trouble.
04:31You mark my words.
04:33She is lying to all of you.
04:35Why don't you just give it some time, yeah?
04:38I promise you, when you come back, you'll realize she's harmless.
04:43Even if she is half Slater.
04:49Where do you go?
04:51Where do you go?
04:52Where do you go?
04:54I'm not even in someone.
05:01Answer me.
05:02I've got to go.
05:04I've got to go.
05:06I've got to go.
05:07I've got to go.
05:09I've got to go.
05:18I told you.
05:48Nobody beats me.
06:18What do you want?
06:30What do you want?
06:33Why did you do it to me?
06:35There's no way out, Robbie.
06:55Do you believe her?
07:26Accusing me like that?
07:27Well, obviously, I don't know what went on back then.
07:29Nothing.
07:30I mean, she's clearly made up a story in her head.
07:33Well, what I'm trying to say is, like, I was bullied at school and it was rotten.
07:37So maybe, I don't know, if she felt that way, maybe seeing you brought it all back for her.
07:42There were loads of us in our group.
07:43Why single me out?
07:45Well, because I was the loudest?
07:46I mean, the most popular?
07:47That's not my fault.
07:48Oh.
07:49Her face when she saw us pretending to be her.
07:53We weren't being malicious.
07:54I think we acted like a couple of mean girls.
07:57No, I'm gonna go.
07:58All right?
07:59Look, look, I'm not saying that I was Little Miss Innocent.
08:02But I weren't a bully.
08:04Oh, I know.
08:07Robbie, what the hell are you playing at?
08:09Just call me as soon as you get this.
08:12Anything?
08:12I've been to Mum's, the Vint, the Minimah, no sign.
08:15And no one I've spoken to have seen him.
08:17Went in the gym or the cafe over.
08:19Okay.
08:19Well, there's no need to panic just yet, yeah?
08:22I'll keep trying him.
08:23You can check the chicken shop and you can do one last week, man.
08:25You don't think anything's happened to him, do you?
08:27No.
08:28No, of course not.
08:29He's gonna be fine.
08:30But as soon as we find him, the better, yeah?
08:32Yeah.
08:33Yeah, you're all right.
08:39Oh, you're back early.
08:47No eligible gentleman that took your fancy?
08:50It was a school reunion, not speed dating.
08:53Although that would have probably been more fun.
08:55No.
08:57The kids go down okay?
08:59Yeah, yeah.
08:59And he was as good as gold.
09:01Ollie was a bit quiet.
09:02You still gonna talk to him about what happened at school, yeah?
09:06How could they think he'd hurt another kid?
09:08I mean, he's the sweetest boy you'll ever meet.
09:10I know.
09:11Oh!
09:12I thought you were all tucked up and cosy.
09:14What's the matter, sweetheart?
09:16Can't you sleep?
09:18Come here a minute.
09:20We'll get you a cup of chur.
09:21Oh, thanks, Mum.
09:23You're getting heavy.
09:27I, um, had a call this morning from your school.
09:33What do you think that might have been about?
09:35I don't know.
09:38They wanted to talk about you.
09:42About something that happened in the classroom.
09:46They said...
09:47They said you were picking on someone.
09:50And that you hit them.
09:52Is that true?
09:58What are they mean to you?
10:00You know, did they say something that upset you?
10:02No.
10:04Look, it's okay.
10:05It's okay to fall out with people, all right?
10:07It's normal.
10:08But we mustn't hit them.
10:11And if we do do a bad thing, then...
10:14Then we shouldn't lie about it.
10:16All right?
10:16It's important that we tell the truth.
10:18Do you understand?
10:20Do you always tell the truth?
10:22Of course.
10:25And if I did something wrong, I like to think that I would make up for it.
10:29And that makes things better?
10:33Sometimes, sweetheart.
10:35Yeah, sometimes.
10:35You in there?
10:48Harry?
10:49Have you seen my dad, Miss Mitchell?
10:51What?
10:51Yeah, he's gone missing.
10:53Oh.
10:54Well, I'm sure he can't have gone far.
10:56Look, why don't I help you find him, eh?
10:59Yeah.
11:08Is it safe to come in?
11:10It's your house.
11:14Miss and I...
11:15I don't blame you for being scared.
11:17Do you know, the food in Waterford General's was some clunky, isn't it?
11:24It's not just the op.
11:25I mean, they might have caught it early, but I'm still going to have to have radiotherapy afterwards.
11:30There's something saying it's going to be easy, but you've got to think positively, haven't you?
11:35Going for cancer treatment all on my own.
11:38Happy days.
11:39You ain't going to be on your own.
11:41I've changed the flights.
11:43Have you really?
11:44Might be a pain in the backside, but still my system, isn't you?
11:50But you're still taking him away, then?
11:52Oh, Phil, come on.
11:55It ain't right.
11:55Don't start, okay?
11:56No, look, Julie's his wife.
11:59She's given up nearly everything to care for him.
12:02She's about to go and sell their family house for crying out loud.
12:04Yeah, well, that's her decision.
12:06It ain't mine.
12:06No, no, no, no.
12:07You can't take her husband abroad.
12:08It just ain't...
12:09It just ain't fair.
12:10I'll tell you what, it ain't fair.
12:11Leaving Nigel on his own, scared we know it'll calm him down.
12:13Yeah, I know, Phil.
12:14Me and Grant are his mates.
12:15As long as he's got us, he'll be all right.
12:18Right, well, she needs to know.
12:19Yeah, well, not now she don't.
12:20And if you breathe a word of this to her, me and you are done.
12:32Here you go.
12:35I told you I'm not hungry.
12:36Can we just find my dad?
12:38Yeah, and we will.
12:39All right, but there's no point in running around like headless chickens.
12:42We need to work out where he might have gone.
12:44Well, after what we said to him earlier, I don't know, whether he's out on a bender or taking something like, you know?
12:53No, I've no idea.
12:55It ain't my world.
12:55But it is your dad's, and sometimes people like to stick their hand in the cookie jar.
13:03Can't blame him, I suppose.
13:07Probably helps him forget.
13:09Forget what?
13:11Come on.
13:12You know he's no quiet boy.
13:14Your dad's done things that weigh heavy on most people's minds.
13:16Like what he did to Harry.
13:20Well, I know he locked him in a room or something.
13:22No, no, no.
13:23He didn't just lock him in a room.
13:27He got him hooked on heroin.
13:28Do you have any idea how sick that is?
13:30He's defending it, but he's not a bad person, not deep down.
13:33He's a good dad these days.
13:35Always bangs on about us doing our schoolwork, and he's got our backs too.
13:38He's protective.
13:40Darling, he dangled Barney off a bridge.
13:42That ain't protective.
13:44That is unhinged.
13:46Look, I know he might act like a superhero, but he's violent, and he's dangerous.
13:53Right, men like that, they always let you down in the end.
13:58Don't treat me like a kid, Nicola.
14:00Hey, what are you doing?
14:01Going to find my dad.
14:04Leave me alone.
14:05Now you're getting what you deserve.
14:09Because you are every bit as twisted as your own man.
14:20I never...
14:21I never meant to hurt.
14:25Are we going to hurt my kids?
14:29Look at this fella.
14:30I never meant to hurt my kids.
14:32Oi, really?
14:33Go on and get home.
14:35What are you doing?
14:35What are you doing?
14:36Oi, boys.
14:37Oi, boys.
14:38Go on.
14:39Go on.
14:40Go on.
14:41Go on.
14:42Go on.
14:43Oi.
14:44Go on.
14:45Go on.
14:46Go on.
14:47Go on.
14:48Go on.
14:49Go on.
14:50Go on.
14:51Go on.
14:52Go on.
14:53Go on.
14:56What do I do, Dad?
15:03Why did you leave me?
15:04me. Come here. Shhh. Why did you leave? I was only a kid. I was only a kid. Shhh. It should
15:28have been you who fell. It should have been you. Dad! Dad! Hey! Hey, you right? You're here for
15:46you first. Come on. Fight me. Is this what you want? Revenge! Come on!
15:58Come on!
16:18So what did he say? He didn't do anything. Well, there you go. What if this other kid's telling
16:27the truth, Mum? And that Ollie did hit him. Why would you think that? Every parent thinks
16:32their kid is the good one and it's others that cause trouble. But when we're not around,
16:37how do we really know what they're like? Where's this all come from, darling? I bumped
16:42into someone at the school reunion. Bea Pollard. She said I was horrible to her at school.
16:49Oh, come on. No, she was serious. You were the most popular girl at school. All those other
16:54girls are just jealous. Yeah, but them girls that I hung out with, you know, I didn't just
16:59laugh along. You know, I did run my mouth off a bit sometimes. Well, good. So? So I shouldn't
17:05have done that. I should have stood up for people like Bea. And now they're saying all
17:10this about Ollie and I would just hate it if you made anyone feel that way. Oh. I'll get
17:15it.
17:16Yeah, just through there. Thank you. Winter. I've got Bea's bag by mistake and she must
17:25have mine. Is her address in there? I guess this is my chance to apologise. Would you come
17:40with me? I don't think I can face her alone. Here. Can I come in? I can't exactly say no,
17:51can I? It's not my pub. It doesn't mean we have to sit in the same room, though. I just
18:00wanted to say sorry. Everything has gone down since I've arrived. I mean, it wouldn't have
18:05happened if it weren't for Chrissie, so... Are you seriously blaming her? You put my family
18:09through hell. Nan and Tommy got the blame. If I could take it all back, I would. Okay?
18:14Your family have been so nice to me. I mean, apart from Jean maybe breaking into my room and
18:21frightened me with a stall. But I'd have deserved that, to be honest. No, she's not well.
18:28Still, that must have been scary, though. Yeah. For real. But, you know, after it all calmed down,
18:36I realised just how much she's actually struggling. I tried to get her to stay, Lily, I swear. I would've
18:44been fine to just get out of her way and let her recover at home. It's too late now.
18:51Who is Lynn, anyway? She's your nan's old sister. Any other family I should know about?
19:04There's also little Moe. Oh, you mean mini Moe? No, little Moe, Freddie's mum. And Belinda. But we
19:12don't really talk to her anymore. She's a bit of a snob. Um, and there's Uncle Sean. That's
19:19who my mum's visiting in Brazil. And Uncle Kyle. He works with this charity in Africa. You
19:24just see his Instagram. Oh. It's a lot of new relatives in one go, ain't it? Now there's you.
19:33Yeah. Hey, I'd really like it if we could, like, hang out sometimes. Hey, I could even
19:43help babysit. So you can revise or hang out with your mates. What do you reckon? I'll think
19:54about it. This is the street. The flat must be down here. Oh, sorry. Oh, that's
20:02her. That's her. You are not giving me a chance to explain. Explain
20:07what? Why you're such a mess. You have caused me nothing but grief since the day you moved
20:11in. And now I've got to get the locks changed. Again. I told you. I told you it wasn't my
20:16phone. It wasn't my phone. Never is, is it? Someone took my gear. I'm not interested.
20:23You're a parasite. Just take your stuff and go. Oh, no. Wait a minute. Marcus, you can't
20:27do this. You can't actually do this because I've got rights. I've got rights!
20:34Here. I'll reach the door. Be. We've got your keys. Oh, I was just going to come and see
20:47you. I managed just steer nugget off. So you're welcome. Ravi's gone. Well, you think
20:51off, so you're welcome. Ravi's gone. Well, I should think so. The amount I dosed him.
20:56Oh, I'm saying he ain't there. What do you mean he ain't there? Well, I put him in the pit and I
21:02locked the door, but he must have got out the bag. Okay. Well, at least he won't be found in your
21:07workplace. This is good. Good. Mum, he could be anywhere, running his mouth to God knows who,
21:13or he's outside waiting to batter us. Hey, calm down. He's not going to cause any trouble. Stay,
21:18you'll be in. Look, trust me. Right now, Ravi Gulati couldn't let her fly.
21:25I've checked all the businesses and properties. Still no sign.
21:28All right. Yeah. I'll be back in five minutes.
21:35Yo. Ravi, is that? Is that you?
21:42Take it, that's mine then. It was a mistake, I swear. Well, if you got here 20 minutes ago,
21:51I still have a place to live. Just saying. Are you okay? I'm fine. I was thinking of moving on
21:58anyway. He's done me a favor. Anyway, thanks for the bag. You can go now.
22:05I'm sorry for being a gobby little cow back then. That's nice, Linda, but I've kind of got bigger
22:17problems at the moment. Have you got anywhere to go? I've got a really good friend in my land.
22:24We haven't spoken in a while, so... Could she not stay at yours? Sorry?
22:29Yeah, what? Um, Linda runs a B&B. I mean, have you got any spare rooms?
22:35I'm not a charity case. No. No. No. Uh, I could do mates rates. And,
22:41you know, after everything, maybe it's the least I can do. What do you say?
22:48Yeah, all right. Oh.
22:49You okay? Yeah.
23:02You know, I know it's only for a couple of weeks, but at this point, just one day apart feels like a
23:08lifetime. The thought of anything happening to him while I'm away would just be... Look,
23:13Julie, I really think you should know... Look, I also need you to keep an eye on Phil,
23:16please. I know that, um, he can't do it all on his own, although he likes to think otherwise.
23:24You are lucky, you know. I haven't got any siblings. You know, I haven't got a big brother looking out for me.
23:32Just keep him close. We all need someone to lean on every now and then, don't we?
23:38Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, what were you going to say?
23:42No, no, nothing. I was actually just going to say, you don't need to worry. I'll make sure that
23:48Phil does right by Nigel. Thank you. Right. Safe trip. Thank you.
24:00And that's everything. This place is so kitsch.
24:05Well, interior designer, yours truly. Oh, I love the faux elegance. Subtle furnishings are so
24:16overrated. I like the loud, in-your-face look. It's like a sensory overload.
24:23Well, don't worry about it, sweetheart. My daughter assures me your stay here will be very short.
24:28Mum? You haven't changed a bit since school. I mean, you literally look exactly the same.
24:36Excuse me. I hope not. I'm like a fine wine. I get better with age.
24:42You were always one of the nicer mums. Be careful, all right? All that praise will go to her head.
24:48Listen, I'm not going to outstain my welcome. I just need to get back on my feet, you know.
24:52Always seem to be paddling upstream. I had this one job. Government stuff. Very hush-hush.
24:59I can't really talk about it, actually. Anyway, due to someone else's incompetence,
25:04I was moved on. Left without a pot to... Of course, most people get some inheritance from their
25:12parents, don't they? But I... Yeah. But you know what they say? Bad things happen to good people.
25:19Yeah, well, you're here now, you know. You just feel free to make yourself at home.
25:23Oh, thanks, Linda. Look, when I saw you earlier, it was a bit of a shock, you know? But now I know.
25:30It was for the right reasons, and this is the moment I'm finally gonna turn my life around.
25:38Good night. Good night. Thank you.
25:44Sleep well.
25:45Now, do you see why I had to help her? Linda, it's not your job to fix anyone.
25:53You have Ollie and Annie to think of. I know, I know, but I need to make up for what I've done.
25:57And you heard her. It's not gonna be here for long. Well, I just hope you know what you're doing.
26:05You should take it, Cardiff. Okay, we need to get him going.
26:08Pupils are active to life. Yes, Priya. Wait outside. You're only gonna upset yourself.
26:14Priya, go. Let's go. Priya.
26:17Oh, my God, my baby. Stand back, please.
26:20They had to put him in a coma. They're taking him straight into intensive care.
26:27Stand back, please. They're doing everything they can.
26:30It's been in my baby. Oh, please. Be careful with him, please. Who's done this? Who's done this to my boy?
27:00Bye.
