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