the phoning.

Why

That was close.

Yeah,

can you imagine if we missed it?

You all right?

It's tough day,

isn't it?

I

Beth,

what's happened?

Despite everything we said,

Jess and Ollie went to Blackpool.

Oh,

he told me he was at yours.

They made it to Manchester,

changed to come back here,

and they fell asleep.

Now they can't get off till Sheffield.

Sheffield.

Is there a train back?

Nope,

that's where I'm gonna pick him up.

No,

Tom,

you can't,

not with your aunt.

I'll go.

No,

it's,

it's fine.

It's late and it's a long wait.

Look,

I just wanted to call you so you weren't worry.

No,

honestly,

it'll be Ollie that's led this.

No,

no,

Beth,

I'm going.

I'll,

I'll drop him off later.

OK,

thanks.

Hannah's gonna go crazy when she finds out.

Is she's not at home?

She's in some charity thing,

I think.

I left her a note.

Old school.

If I text her,

it'll ruin her evening.

The moment she reads it,

she'll

He's so furious.

And then Jess won't be popular.

To say the least,

I kind of admire them for it.

They were told they couldn't go,

but they wanted to go,

so they went.

They haven't exactly covered themselves in glory,

have they?

Well we all fuck up.

Beth,

have you ever played karaoke?

Karaoke,

yeah,

it's um.

You,

you,

you pick a playlist and then you put it on shuffle

and then whatever song comes on you have to sing along.

No.

Do you want to?

Uh,

my singing voice,

it's been known to scare wild animals.

Well,

let's choose my Zumba playlist because that way we know it'll be upbeat.

Well,

unless you want a ballad.

Do you want to go first?

No,

coward,

here we go.

bosses

We can't just ignore what happened today.

Well,

we can

Then it never happened.

Just like that.

Oh yeah,

just like that.

I acted like a mad woman.

I don't know what I was doing.

It wasn't the most conventional behaviour.

Alright,

so um.

I'm going to say it.

Officially,

I apologise.

I shouldn't have gone to you and.

I'm really sorry.

And

what about you?

What about me?

You kissed me back.

In your workplace.

Could have thrown me out,

told me.

I crossed the line,

but you didn't.

You kissed me.

Yeah,

I did.

I shouldn't have kissed you.

Because we're both married,

we have families.

But I wanted to.

Like I wanted to since the first moment I saw you.

So,

do it again?

It's just ringing out.

Look,

they'll be on their way.

Sure he's got a hotel.

Oh,

paying for that,

are you?

Oh,

I'm going to get so much shit off my mum.

Hello

Hi.

Jessica.

Jessica,

Jessica,

Jessica,

Jessica,

Jessica.

Jessica,

Jessica.

OK.

I can't do this.

It'll destroy them.

Yeah,

I know.

Shall we put it back in the box,

yeah?

Forget about it.

Where's mom?

I'm really sorry.

Thanks,

Mum.

Thanks,

Tom.

Sleep on the train.

What a pair of idiots.

Dad,

how much trouble am I in?

You know your mum.

Has she called you?

Yeah,

but I didn't answer.

No,

same here.

I messaged her and said we'll talk about it at home.

You brought us any tips.

I got some of these.

Can you believe them?

1.5 hour drive.

You've not brought us any chips.

How was Blackpool?

It was good.

OK.

selfishness.

I hope she's gone to bed.

I don't think there's much chance of that.

Just stay calm and don't turn it into a shouting match.

I gave you my reasons.

Yeah,

because you never let us do anything.

That is not true.

go there,

don't do that,

something bad will happen.

So,

do it again.

Why is it always gonna go bad?

Well,

it didn't.

It was fun,

even missing the fucking stop was

funny.

Talk to your mother like that bedroom,

please.

Yeah,

happily.

Your father

and I are going to decide your punishment,

and trust me,

it will be significant.

Why am I always got to play the bad guy with her?

Hello.

Nothing.

I don't know.

What was she saying?

Beth,

the mother you spent all night in a car with.

I am seriously starting to worry about that relationship.

Their son is leading our daughter astray.

That is your assumption.

Do you think that I'm.

Is she right?

Am I,

am I wrapping them up in cotton wool?

Yeah,

little bit.

Two weeks,

it's bullshit.

I know.

Gonna miss Mariella's party.

She's got to let you go to that.

I mean,

it's the 16th.

No,

she won't.

Grounded is grounded,

Jessica,

honestly.

I mean,

I can't believe you've got nothing.

How is that fair?

I didn't get nothing.

You know,

I've to go clear Ellie's house.

Oh,

lovely.

It's only a house.

I don't think her ghost will be hanging about.

I know,

it's just weird though,

isn't it?

Although I would rather clear a house with 10 ghosts than 2 weeks grounded.

Alright,

Bernard.

But

it weren't me.

You're right with those?

Yeah.

Oh God.

You alright,

mom?

We had such good times in this room.

Getting past.

Laughing our heads off.

I liked Ali.

She always had a secret stash of sweets up in her cupboard.

She started that for you when you were little.

Did she?

She loved you.

I'm sorry I didn't come to her funeral.

Grieve in your own way.

Don't keep it bottled up.

How come she never had any kids of her own?

I don't know.

It just don't happen for some people.

Life don't always turn out the way you think it will.

That can turn that down a bit.

Oh.

Yeah,

it's me.

Right?

OK.

Well,

night's in Manchester.

Yeah,

correct.

Yeah,

thanks for letting me know.

Yeah,

speak soon.

Going for a smoke.

Date for the court case.

So that's it,

they're going through with it.

I'm sorry.

Oh,

don't tell Beth.

Not yet.

She's only just at the funeral.

Neil,

I don't know if Beth ever told you,

but

years ago James was in a similar situation.

Road rage,

all got out of hand.

Sir James just went round,

no solicitors,

nothing formal,

and just told the man,

if this goes to court,

it'll ruin me.

He took full responsibility

and apologised.

They ended up hugging in his kitchen.

Can't see me hugging Douglas Wells.

It's worth a try though,

isn't it?

Cause this could be really bad nail.

And

I need this bloody extension finishing.

I've met someone.

Can we put it back in the box,

yeah.

Forget about it.

Yeah.

You stealing my furniture?

Oh God,

what do you want?

Oh,

hello,

Dave,

nice to see you,

Dave.

Oh,

I bought that lamp.

How do you know I'd be here?

Cause I get notifications when the alarm goes off.

I've still got the apps,

and this was my house.

Well,

delete them.

There's no point,

is there,

Beth,

seeing as I'm gonna be moving back in here soon.

Hey,

you all right,

Ollie,

lad.

Dave,

Dave,

I am not giving you the out.

She only changed that will to spite me.

She'd never meant for you to have it.

Go upstairs,

Ollie.

No chance.

Go now.

Dave.

I am sure there's someone out there that can love you.

But you are not bringing that person

into the house that you shared with my best friend.

You are not having your feeble excuse for sex under the

roof where you made Ali's final years of fucking misery.

It's better.

Nice to be out.

I'm changing the locks.

Jez?

Jessica,

Hello.

Hello.

How was school?

Good.

No more than that.

Sounds annoying.

Why?

She keeps tapping a pen.

Yeah.

That's pretty annoying.

Well,

come here,

it'll be OK.

Um,

where's mummy?

Upstairs,

angry with chair.

Hm

Bad times.

Oh.

That's

We've had an email from Mr.

Wainwright from school.

Saying what?

You tell him.

Dad,

it's nothing.

I called him by his first name and not sir,

and now he's going off on one.

He says it's not the first incident,

and he says he's worried about bad influences.

Oh,

he's chatting shit.

Jess.

Well,

he is though.

He hates Ollie and he's sending you that email to make him sound as bad as he can.

Why does he hate Ollie?

Because I,

I don't know,

he,

he started the Bernard thing.

Bernard.

Oh,

it is his name though.

Well,

OK,

but how many,

how many teachers do you call by their first name?

None,

but not exactly.

OK,

look,

I do think after everything that happened in Blackpool,

we should

probably have a chat with Ollie's parents.

Lay some ground rules for the run up to the exam.

Mum,

there's no need for ground rules,

that's ridiculous.

Maybe we should be the judge of that.

God,

no.

You know,

er,

she's right.

We don't want to meet the parents.

I we text them,

and we don't want to get into a back and forth about parenting.

We need them to agree and it's always much easier in person.

Besides,

I want to know what you and Beth are talking about

for an hour on the way to Sheffield in the car.

Yeah.

I'll ask them to meet us for a drink.

We go.

Thanks for coming.

Thanks.

Cheers.

She told me you were buying.

Uh,

right,

I'm just gonna dive right in so that we can

agree to a plan and then just forget about this.

I don't like being the disciplinarian,

but um,

I think one parent always takes on that role.

I'm sure one of you two does.

Well,

I guess

we just sort of share it.

Yeah,

yeah,

probably.

Right.

Well,

the Blackpool trip.

I

Don't like that kind of deceit,

and now we've

had this email from Mr.

Wainwright,

which I know isn't a huge deal.

Can I just jump in on the Wainwright as someone who works for the school.

You see,

he actually is a massive arsehole.

Sorry,

I don't like to speak badly of any teacher,

but he brings it on himself.

The kids

call him Bernard just to wind him up,

right?

But

Ollie started it,

yeah.

Yeah,

but they're just mucking about.

We had worse at our school.

Hard on Hardman,

Pvy tech teacher,

missed no ills.

Miss,

miss ill,

but she was flat-chested.

OK,

well,

you know,

setting all of that aside,

these next months,

they're really important,

and after the whole

Blackpool thing,

we found these in Jessica's pocket.

Oh,

for edibles.

Yeah,

but they're all over the school.

No,

I know,

and I'm sure it's just like us sneaking gin from our parents' drinks cabinet,

but you know,

we can't have them going off the rails.

I mean.

It's hardly off the rails.

You know what I mean.

Look,

this

schedule from school,

it's like.

5 weeks of intense exams.

I think you're right,

they're a couple,

they egg each other on.

We should lay down the law.

OK,

yeah,

so,

um,

I'm just gonna write out a few do's and don'ts for Jess.

I can WhatsApp them to you if you want,

so you can see what I've written for Ollie.

Yeah,

of course,

yeah,

uh-huh.

Yeah,

definitely.

Yeah.

OK,

great.

This is really good to talk about this,

you know,

the same page and all that.

I need to see you again.

Well,

that's not what we agreed,

just to talk,

to talk.

I was looking at you and you look

so

beautiful.

I just wanted to kiss you.

I can't stop thinking about you.

Meet me.

OK,

why?

Um,

I don't know.

I,

I'll think of some.

So they went to Blackpool.

My mum and dad never knew where I was.

I went to a rave

in Anglesey once,

told them I was at my mate's in the next street.

It's thingy with them,

isn't it?

Parachute parenting.

What

parachute.

Well what is it?

It's helicopter,

you daft.

Listen,

before we go in.

Something I've been putting off telling her.

Court case.

Set a date.

Right.

Listen,

your Amy was there

when the call came through.

And afterwards she suggested that

I go and see him,

that prick,

and just.

Make a case for myself.

She said James did it a few years back and it worked.

Neil,

I really don't think that is a good idea.

You got a solicitor.

Leave it to him.

Yeah,

but what if I'm just a job to him?

He'll have forgotten about me before he spent a day inside.

I can't go to prison,

Beth.

I can't.

Don't listen to my sister.

Got to just trust the process,

yeah.

I need some advice.

Felicia.

She's been having these

bleeds.

The first one she had,

she dashed to the hospital and they scanned her and the baby was fine.

But she's had a few more since then.

Right,

so

You know,

what could be happening?

You know I'm not an obstetrician,

right?

You're a fucking doctor.

You must know something.

It could be loads of things.

She's pregnant.

An infection could cause bleeding.

She needs to see her doctor.

I see.

Might you lose the baby?

Are you asking out of hope or concern?

Wow,

nice.

Really nice.

OK hold

Don't tell me I'm a fool.

I could certainly do without all the late night panicky phone calls.

This

radar is getting little twitchy.

The radar sketch witchy.

Anyway,

Whatever.

She she can't find out.

Leah,

hi.

Hannah,

are you about today?

Why?

What do you have in mind?

I need to talk to you about Paul.

OK,

well,

I'm just dashing off to a meeting now,

but um.

Do you wanna come over at one-ish?

Perfect.

Cheers,

hon,

I'll see you in a bit.

What's the thinking here then?

Oh,

Like

I used to come here a lot with the kids,

and at the weekends it's completely packed.

I cycled past one week there and it was

empty,

and I thought to myself,

well,

if I ever need a covert meeting place,

this is it.

Welcome.

So,

What did you want to

Talk about.

Are you familiar with the prefrontal cortex?

Not intimately.

All the songs bang on about the heart.

But it's your old pal,

the prefrontal cortex,

that's driving the show.

Probably doesn't rhyme as well.

Or the moment you meet someone or you just see someone.

The whole Corsex kicks in and

decides whether it

likes them or wants to see them again or fancies them.

And if it does,

then

other parts of the brain kick in.

Dopamine gets released,

oxytocin,

and

They give you this immediate feeling of

Close this.

What were you like as a kid?

I

was what is known as a dweeb.

I had NHS specs,

worst

haircut known to humanity,

basically asking to be bullied.

I bet you were cute.

I weren't,

I'll show you photos.

That's why I got into fitness to defend myself against the beatings.

What happens to that business?

Owning your own mini gym,

it's long hours and

Neil made it very clear he thought I should be at home.

I did love it though.

Now that I work at the school,

I might as well just have

Baileyage

stamped on my head.

No,

I used to bound out of bed,

I used to make these daft little videos to amuse the clients and I know.

Can

you find a job you really love.

Well,

you must feel that.

Are you joking.

Very romantic

view of general practise,

and 90% of my day is dealing with old people with acid reflux.

Kiss me.

When we had the counselling,

he said,

obviously,

I can't be in a relationship

where the trust is gone.

Well,

the trust went because he was having sex with younger women.

Yes,

I know,

but

he promised me after last time,

he begged me on that bathroom floor in tears,

to give him another chance.

What does your gut say?

Always distracted.

He's definitely drinking more than usual.

And then someday,

suddenly,

out of nowhere,

becomes Mr.

Wonderful.

It's great with me,

it's great with the kids.

Oh,

I just,

I don't know,

it just,

it feels put on.

Well,

if you want my opinion,

I think you need to trust him until you have a definite reason not to.

But if you do want some reassurance,

you could always put Family Link on his phone,

just bury it in his app.

No,

I would feel like a stalker.

Just for a couple of weeks,

you could see his

location,

turn off any notifications that let him know about it,

and then it's all fine,

you just delete it.

Look,

I very rarely need check it,

but when I do,

everyone's almost always

exactly where I expect them to be.

See,

look,

school,

school.

Oh.

What

the hell?

Ma,

Tommy

He's not where I expect him to be.

What's he doing in Reddish?

It's probably with a younger woman.

Yeah.

Multi-bank forever.

Bye.

Let's go get changed.

Oh.

us.

Hey.

Hey,

Where were you at lunch time?

Well,

went for a run.

Why?

In reddish?

No,

I can't cycle,

can I?

So I start running again.

But why there?

I mean,

miles away.

They have those nice trucks there,

don't they?

There's no chance of bumping into one of my,

uh,

patients.

Got to join a gym.

Why are you checking on me?

I wasn't checking on you.

I was showing Leah the app.

Why does Leah want to see the app?

No,

I said she should get it,

that's all.

It's not a big deal,

Tom,

honestly.

Yeah,

well,

it's for safety,

not spying,

Hannah.

No one's spying on you.

Just forget it,

OK?

I wasn't accusing you of anything.

No one said you were.

Oh,

and I booked that table for tonight.

Because it was maths,

maths,

did some GCSE um geography.

Come on,

why is it whenever you,

honestly,

whenever you got on,

no you didn't.

Yes I did.

You only revised.

I I did this last night.

Yeah,

well,

I thought you were revising last night as well,

weren't you?

Well,

if I say I,

I said to you,

right,

I'm doing anything,

you always revise because you don't want me to.

I see Frankie

right.

Purple

breakfast.

Hello.

Sorry,

sorry,

I'm just um.

Just checking.

And is she at home?

Yeah.

Safe?

Yes.

Obsessing?

Tom?

I know

how I've

been lately and I know that hasn't been great for us.

I know what I've taken away,

you know,

from us all as a family,

and I am.

I'm really,

really sorry.

But I really,

I do feel like I'm coming back to myself

a lot now and.

Do you still love me?

Of course I do.

Do you still love me like you used to?

Yes,

of course.

Let's find a weekend,

shall we?

You know,

where we don't have to think about the

girls' football and dance lessons and we can just

go away somewhere.

I mean,

it doesn't have to be abroad.

We can just go to your mum's place at the lake,

you know.

Well,

I mean that place needs so much work.

I don't mind,

it doesn't matter.

It'd be really nice for us to find some time again.

You know,

for me and you.

Here.

You get some more wine.

School night.

Go wild.

That's nice.

Hm

You can't be here.

Look,

I've not come in for any trouble.

Don't come any nearer,

please,

Mr.

Wells.

I've got nothing to say to you.

Leave my shop.

I just want to talk to you.

Leave my shop or I'll call the police.

The police?

That's all crazy.

Leave my shop.

Right,

well,

I wanna buy a bike.

Bullshit.

Yeah,

I do.

I want to buy a bike.

Please,

stop playing silly games.

This one here.

I want to buy this bike

for my daughter.

She's only 13.

Real daddy's girl she is and all.

Loves her dad.

And I haven't had the heart to tell her

that I might be going to prison.

That I'll be gone

from her life.

I'm Milat.

And he's at that age where he'll act like it doesn't,

it doesn't matter.

But it will.

And why?

Because

I made

a mistake.

I made

a mistake.

And I'm sorry.

Oh,

it's for a court to decide,

isn't it?

Oh,

I am begging you.

Mom to month,

yeah?

Please don't ruin my life.

Please.

I still get headaches from your attack.

Some days so bad I can't make it in here.

Be sure to tell your children that.

Now,

I'll ask you one last time.

Leave my shop.

Show some fucking humanity.

What are you doing?

I

warned you,

stop pissing about.

I warned.

What,

you're gonna lock me in?

Open the shuts.

Just open the shutters,

but I'll leave.

Just open the shutters.

I'll go,

please.

Just open the shutters.

I warned you.

I told you to leave.

I do feel a bit weird about this.

It's just a house,

Tom.

She didn't die,

you know,

I know that.

But

if you knew Ali,

you'd know she'd do exactly the same.

Oh,

I found this app,

Vivo,

anonymous messaging.

Download it or we're bound to slip up.

I'll do that.

Why are you here?

I know you said at the farm.

That your life weren't perfect,

but

You must know from the outside it.

It looks pretty close.

Everything sounds like such a cliche.

It wasn't that we've grown apart.

No,

I don't know how to explain it.

Just be honest.

When I first met her

I knew,

and

everyone says that doesn't happen,

but I.

I remember being on our first date and

I looked at her and I thought,

I'm going to marry this woman.

prefrontal cortex.

Well,

no.

It wasn't

Rip your clothes off kind of passion.

We just worked.

Then I think about 3 years ago,

she found out all this stuff about her father.

And she completely unravelled.

Constantly thinking something terrible is going to happen.

Well it made her ill.

And

not just mentally but

That makes me sound like such shit,

doesn't it

ill wife.

I tried,

Beth.

I've really tried.

It's just so fucking hard.

Day.

Fucking kill him.

Stay up here.

It's me,

mom.

I'm just.

the door.

Hang on.

What are you doing here?

In fact,

Lie to me.

She's grounded,

so you thought lunchtime pass.

Please don't tell my mum.

I'm sorry.

You are out of order.

This is my friend's house.

Sorry,

don't tell my mum.

She'll go ballistic.

I won't,

but get out,

both of you.

Go on.

Don't do it again.

I'm sorry.

Oh

It's 2 streets down.

Why?

Well,

it won't go that way.

Ha,

you found that.

Can you imagine if we had

Got to get better at this.

Yeah.

Oh,

hello.
