- [Man] How much, love?

- I'm not on the game, you filthy prick.

Now do one before I call the police.

10 more seconds, and I'd have been gone.

- Sorry, I know.

- You can forget about it next time.

- It's good stuff, yeah?

- Don't wave it around, dickhead.

(sighs)

- Mason.

Mason!

Mason!

Mase.

Mase.

No.

Mason!

What you doing with my son?

- I found him, it's not,

He was, he was walking.

He was on his own.

- Are you all right?

Are you okay, baby?

What happened?

- He was asleep.

He were sleepwalking.

I wasn't taking him anywhere.

Look, I live over there, number 58

Come and meet me missus.

We've got a baby.

- Come on, baby, let's go home.

- [Man] I swear on me life.

What's he doing walking around

on his own anyway?

- I'm sorry, baby.

I'm so, so sorry.

(sneaky music)

Might keep you off this morning.

Mase, keep you off school?

Go and see your dad, yeah?

Just this morning.

A little treat.

And then you're in this aft,

and don't even think about kicking off.

Yeah, this is his mum.

He's got a dentist appointment.

He's been up all night with toothache.

He'll be in this afternoon.

Can you tell Miss Simms for us?

Okay.

Okay, then, bye.

- [Man] So, you live 'round here, do you?

I ain't seen you about.

See you.

- Mase, do you want to

go play over there?

Just need to talk to someone.

- All right, mate, what's your name?

I'm Tapper.

- Go on, five minutes,

then we'll go and see Dad, I promise.

- Spitting image of Sean, isn't he?

Same eyes.

So how much you want, then, sweetheart?

- I'm not doing it any more.

I'm knocking it on the head.

- Oh, yeah?

Who you working for now, then?

- No one.

- Come on, who's your link? - I'm serious.

I'm jackin' it in.

- Puts me in the shit a bit,

to be honest, that, love.

- Your problem.

- So, what's next for you, then?

Nice little office job?

Back to college?

- Mason, come on! - Hey.

My mate's looking for girls.

Your tits are a bit small,

but some blokes go for that.

Why don't you give him a ring?

- Why don't you go and screw yourself, yeah?

(Tapper chuckles)

- Take a joke, love.

- Oh, Lou!

- All right.

- Hello!

- How's your Gavin doing?

- Oh, so much better, thank you.

- Oh, nice one.

Come on, darling.

- Actually, I wanted to give you,

wanted to give you these.

- [Security Guard] Step through, young man.

On this box, please.

Step through.

On the box.

(beeping)

- Turn 'round.

- Mase, remember what I said, yeah?

Not mentioning aught

to your dad about last night.

'Cause he worries, doesn't he?

And there's no point making him worried

'cause I won't ever leave you, ever again.

Will I?

Come on.

- Hey.

Didn't expect to see you today, mate!

- Thought I'd keep him off this morning.

- Come on.

- Daddy, last night,

- He wasn't that well, were you?

- [Sean] Oh, what's up, champ?

- Tummy thing.

They've all got it in school.

- [Sean] Everything all right?

- We're doing okay, aren't we, bud?

- I was watching this thing

the other night on telly,

and this woman was saying that

if the bump is like that,

you know, out in front,

then it's gonna be a boy.

Sounds like a load of mumbo jumbo,

but apparently there's

some sort of scientific basis to it.

Gem.

You all right, baby brain?

- Yeah, of course I am.

- [Steve] Well, come on, fill us in.

What you been up to?

Tell us everything.

- Not much.

Just trying to avoid the nosy neighbors.

Early nights.

Early mornings.

Work.

- [Officer] Police!

Police! Stay where you are!

Stand still! Stay where you are!

Give me your hands.

Keep still, keep calm.

Well done, boys.

- [Steve] Have you seen Andy?

I told him to look out for you.

- Really, I'm fine.

I just wanted to keep things routine,

you know, keep everything normal.

- Yeah.

You don't have to do this, Gem.

- Do what?

- Pretend.

I know you're going through hell.

You don't have to be strong for me.

Yeah?

I think you're amazing.

And when I do get out of here,

I am gonna look after us forever.

I'm gonna be the best dad on the planet.

I promise.

And I will never, ever lie to you again.

- [Officer] Police!

Stay where you are!

Right, listen to me.

- All of this, this nightmare

it'll be like it never happened.

We can be a proper family.

Do you have any clue how much I love you?

- Yeah.

- [Officers] Nice and slow.

Nice and slow.

- And you?

Do you still love me?

- 'Course I do.

What are you asking me

that for, Steve?

I do.

- I'm sorry.

It's just

I wouldn't blame you, you know,

if you wanted to bail.

- Listen, I'm not bailing on you.

I want you home.

Okay?

- Well tell me then.

Gemma, please.

Please just tell me you love me.

- I love you.

- Come here.

- [Prisoner] Get off me!

- [Guard] Come on, move it, move it!

Come on,

- [Prisoner] Get off me!

- [Guard] Move it, move it!

- Hey, Mase, hey, Mase,

can you tell us about school,

then mate?

What you been doing?

- Made a velociraptor

the other day, didn't you?

It were top.

- [Sean] Oh, well, save it for us,

eh mate, for when I come home.

- Is this a prison?

- Of course it's not.

Who's been saying that?

Remember what I told you.

Not to be listening

to stupid daft tales at school, Mase.

You're not to take any flaming notice.

Sean, tell him.

- No.

No.

No, I told you, didn't I?

I knew this would happen.

I knew it.

- No.

- Mase, come on.

- No, not now.

Two more weeks, and it's over.

Please.

Two more.

- [Sean] It's too late.

You can't stick your head in the sand.

- Stop it.

Stop it now.

- Hey!

We've got to deal with it.

- No.

- Now Mase,

I want you to listen, yeah?

- It's different, isn't it?

Very modern.

You look well.

You look very rested.

- What?

- You look rested.

Are you getting much sleep?

Sleep?

- Yeah.

- Good, good.

It's a terrible thing, lack of sleep.

Do you remember Gordon three doors down?

- No.

- [Harriet] He got sleep psychosis once.

He went into hospital,

stayed awake for four nights

'cause he was frightened of dying.

So things are better, then?

- Yeah.

Much better.

Got people looking out for me, haven't I?

- Yes, me too.

- [Gavin] Mum.

Mum.

- Yes?

- Thank you.

- Just because someone's in prison

don't mean they're a bad person, you know?

I mean, sometimes good people,

they do daft things.

Like, if they haven't got enough money,

and it don't make it right,

but the thing is,

- Time's up, ladies and gentlemen.

- [Sean] Hey, come here.

Are you all right, Mase?

- [Lou] Come on, babe.

- [Mason] Bye, Dad.

- [Lou] Darling, come on.

- [Sean] All right.

I'll see you later, yeah?

Look, it's for the best, I swear.

Hey, hey, no more lies.

No more.

- Looks like it's going to stay nice.

They said rain, but I think they've got it wrong.

Just goes to show you, doesn't it?

Oh!

- [Lou] Home and change, yeah?

You want to ride your bike to school?

Hey?

And you can have a chocolate spread butty, too.

- [Francesca] Ladies.

- [Harriet] Aren't you a little late?

- Thank his lucky stars I've shown up at all.

- Hi.

You look gorgeous.

- Wish I could say the same about you.

So, what happens?

Where do we go?

- Hi, everyone.

Welcome, and thanks for coming today.

- We stay here.

It's a group thing.

- But the fact you've turned up is really positive.

- It's a what?

- Family time is a course

we're currently piloting here at HMP Highcross.

For the past couple of weeks,

we've been using group work

to find new ways of thinking and behaving

through open, honest communication.

- Arms, please.

Everything's gonna be cool, bud.

Wait and see, yeah?

I promise you.

I cross my heart and hope to die.

Stick your finger in me eye.

Ohh!

Go on.

- [Teacher] Hey, no.

Now, stop that.

Stop that.

What have I said about that?

You've got paint all over your face,

then stop it!

No, no.

Don't do that.

Go and sit down.

Go and sit down!

- [Gemma] How long's this going to take?

Is it far?

- [David] Leicester.

Are you okay?

- [Gemma] Who was he?

The man Steve killed.

- We think he worked with Steve and Andy.

Some sort of business dispute.

- What about the man Andy beat up?

- Traffic worker.

He's intensive care.

Gemma, with your witness statement,

we can build a strong case.

Link the murder with what you saw last week.

Only if you're sure you still want to go ahead.

- Shouldn't sit here, mate.

Car might run over your feet.

Happened to me once.

Waiting for the bus, got too close to the edge.

Had to get plastic toes fitted.

- No, you never.

- Stand on me foot, hard as you like.

I won't feel a thing.

Go ahead, give it some welly.

(both laughing)

Why are you not in school, anyway?

- Tummy ache.

- Oh, yeah?

Sounds like teacheritis to me, that.

I used to get it loads as a kid.

- Are you my mummy's friend?

- I am, yeah.

And I don't think she'd thank me

for letting you sit in the road.

Shall I walk you home?

Shall I?

Oh, give us a go on your bike.

- You're too big.

- Nah, just right for me, that.

See, perfect.

(Mason laughs)

- Okay, fantastic.

For the next exercise,

I want us all to talk about trigger points.

What sort of things

are guaranteed to spark up a row?

If it's all right with you,

I'll be going 'round the room,

listening in and helping out

if you need mediation.

Shall we start?

- I've missed you.

- That's not the exercise.

- [Paul] Have you missed me?

- I'm serious.

Pack that shit in, Paul, or I'm off.

- How we getting on?

- Fantastic.

Yeah, think we're all sorted now.

- What about those triggers?

- We haven't really got there yet.

It's quite hard to access it at the moment.

- Access?

- Yeah, you know, like get there.

- Yeah, I know what it means, you bell end.

- It is hard talking about this stuff cold.

- Oh, no, it's not hard.

You want triggers?

I'll give you triggers.

He's a selfish, manipulative, lying, bullying,

- She had an affair.

- It was a kiss!

A kiss? - Oh, okay.

Oh, okay, um, instead of triggers,

why don't we flip it

and focus on the positives?

Wh, what,

What things do you both agree on?

- [Woman] Hello, Job First Center.

How can I help you?

Yeah, and what's your name?

Okay, yeah, that's absolutely fine.

And had you been here before?

- How are the kids?

- First day at the new school today.

- Oh, shit, yeah.

Yeah, sorry.

Big change for 'em.

- Yeah.

- They'll be fine, though.

They're tough, aren't they?

Resilient.

- [Natalie] Okay, folks, can I get you all

to come back into a circle?

- How would you know?

- [Natalie] That's it, nice big circle.

Right, we're nearly out of time.

- Talk to me, then, share things.

It's what we're here for.

- So now, as a sort of immediate response,

does anybody want to say anything

- Why did you make me come here?

- To talk to you.

- About what?

- Us.

- [Francesca] Well, I'm here now.

Talk to me.

- Frannie, I

- See, you can't do it.

You drag me here,

and you've got nothing to say to me.

- All right, for the next session,

I'd like you all to do some homework.

I want you to spend 10 minutes

writing about your shared experiences.

Wh, what connects you as a couple?

- Done mine.

- Best not mention the sweets

with your bellyache, eh?

- [Mason] Mum!

Mum!

- Looks like she's out, mate.

Shall we give her a ring?

(cellphone ringing)

- [Robert] Louisa Bell?

- Want to see a trick?

Put that in your pocket, ah.

If it's still there in five minutes,

it's yours.

- Wow!

- That position's been filled as well, I'm afraid.

I could take you through

some of the new vacancies we've got.

They've just gone on the system this morning.

- Please, yeah.

- How's about night shifts?

- As long as they're cool

with a seven year old

sleeping on the floor, then, yeah.

- Can we go the park and play?

- Oh, nah, mate, we got to to stay here.

I'm waiting for someone.

Gob'll stick like that

if the wind changes, you know.

- Ta da! (laughs)

- How'd you do that?

- Dinner lady.

Um, primary school.

Great hours.

They do require a CRB,

that's a criminal record check

which can take a little while,

but if we get the ball rolling.

Okay.

(cellphone buzzing)

- [Tapper] Yeah?

- [Man] Tapper?

- [Tapper] I can see you.

- [Man] I've got your money here.

- [Tapper] I'm on me way over.

Do you want to earn your fiver back?

- Have you thought about getting involved

in some sort of volunteering scheme?

It's a great way to gain experience

in your chosen field.

- I haven't got a field.

I've got a little boy.

I'm stuck on a shit hole estate.

I've got mold growing up the walls.

I don't need experience.

I need money.

- All all right, mate?

You're a top man, you, aren't you?

Do you want to do one more special job for me?

It'll 10 take minutes.

I'll wait here for you.

I want you to listen to me

really, really carefully, okay?

(sneaky music)

- Why aren't you in school?

What's happened?

Mason, what's going on?

Eh?

Hey, come on.

Shh, Mummy's here.

Easy now, it's all right.

(Mason whimpering)

Hey.

Tell Mummy what happened?

Is this definitely the way that you came?

Along up here?

- [Mason] Yeah, that way.

- [Lou] How big were it?

- [Mason] About that big.

- [Lou] About that big?

Oh.

What about that way, no?

- [Mason] I'm not sure, don't remember.

- Yeah?

Come on, Mase.

You've got to help me out.

I need you to think really, really hard.

Is this definitely the way

that you came before?

- [Mason] Yeah, definitely.

I think it is.

- Hiya.

- I could have walked, you know.

- First day, thought it'd be nice.

What the hell is that?

Funeral For a Friend.

They're a band.

- That cost me, that shirt.

- Why are you so obsessed with money?

Because we haven't got any.

You need to look after your stuff.

- I'm not interested in stuff.

Property is theft.

- Oh, Jesus, Lauren.

- [Girls] See you, Lauren.

- [Francesca] Friends already?

- [Lauren] They're so nice.

So it was a good day, then?

Yeah, it was sick.

- How was it?

- Load of bollocks.

They're doing Jane Eyre.

We did that three years ago at St. Doms.

- You make any friends?

- No, they're all cocks.

- Carly fancies you.

- Like I care.

Which one's Carly?

(grunting)

- [Mason] I wish Dad was here.

- Mase, stay here.

Do not move until I get back.

I just need a word with Tapper, okay?

- [Mason] Is he angry?

- No, no, 'course he's not.

But stay here, promise me?

Promise?

- Yeah.

- Are you for real?

- Now, for someone who's got

a lot of ground to cover

in the debt department,

that's not the attitude I was expecting.

Your kid has lost me a lot of wedge.

- You are a grimy scumbag.

Go near him again, and I'll stab you.

You don't as much as

look at him, all right?

- I'm not a monster.

- Reckon the police might

have something to say about that.

- You threatening me?

'Cause if you're seriously going down that road,

I will twist you up so bad.

- He's me son, he's a baby.

- And it's not him I'm mad at, is it?

It's you owes me.

- How much?

- More than you can afford, darlin'.

So you're going to have

to put your new career on hold

and earn it back for me.

- Is he okay?

- Yeah, everything is all right.

Everything's okay.

- Is he gonna tell Miss Simms?

- He won't tell Miss Simms.

- [Tapper] See you, Mase.

(cellphone ringing)

- [Matt] God, I'm starving.

What's in the fridge?

- Yeah?

- Just let me speak and don't say anything.

- [Francesca] Paul, I really don't

have time for this.

- Just give me a minute, Frannie, please.

Our first date when we went

to see Dirty Dancing

and I wanted to hold your hand

but I couldn't 'cause mine was sweating so much.

Our first car that never started.

Our first home in Cross Street

with bath in kitchen.

Our babies being born.

How amazing you were and how useless I was.

Our first holiday all together.

That awful night in Manchester.

How you held me for days when me dad died.

And how I hope I looked

after you when your mum went.

How we've always made each other laugh

more than anyone else can.

How much I love you.

How much I'll always love you.

We've still got those things, haven't we?

They're part of us, always will be.

It's thinking about them that gets me through.

But you're right.

I can't freeze time, and why would I want to?

How much have we changed over years, eh?

Practically grown up together.

I don't want you to stop growing.

I'm just sick.

I'm shit scared of losing you, Frannie.

I'm a selfish prick, and I'm sorry.

Frannie?

- I'm here.

- [Paul] I wanted to say

that if you give us another chance,

things will be different,

but I'd rather just prove it.

And if I don't get that chance

then that's all right, as well.

Honest.

It's up to you.

- They not feed you in school?

- Yeah.

- How'd it go?

- Brilliant. - Shit.

- You all right?

- I'm fine.

- Doesn't anyone speak

in bloody sentences anymore?

- What are you doing with the magic pot?

- Nothing.

- I thought that was for our new flat.

- It is.

I'm going to the bank, aren't I?

Keep it safe for us.

Come on.

- [Tapper] Welcome back.

- Now we're quits, yeah?

- Are we, yeah?

- Don't try and tell me that's not enough.

It's not just about the money, is it?

I went to a lot of trouble

to go and buy the gear your kid lost.

I need it replacing.

I'm running out.

- Buy some more. - No.

How about you go buy some more

and bring it back for me?

- How about you shove

your scut work up your ass?

- Then I might have to tell you

that I know which flat you live in.

I might have to tell you

that if I stand at your front window

from a certain angle,

I can see into your bedroom.

I might even tell you how shit the locks are.

I need it by half eight.

It's across town, so get a move on.

- Not tonight, I can't leave Mason.

- Half eight.

I've got people waiting.

Don't push me, love.

- Then it's over?

- Yeah.

I'm sending a girl over.

A two and a Q of both.

- Come on, then, out with it.

What's the crack?

- Paul.

I don't know if I can carry on.

- Well, of course you can't.

Who's gonna bloody blame you?

- No, this is not an opportunity

for you to bang your bloody drum.

I know how you feel about him, Dad.

I know perfectly well.

- All right, all right.

Wind your neck in.

Remember what your mum used to say?

Come and share a pot of tea.

Me home is warm and me friendship free.

Hey, come on, that was meant to cheer you up,

not set you off again.

- I just miss her so much.

I should have been here.

I should have looked after her more.

If I could do it all again,

- Well, you can't.

- No, but if I could,

I would have fought more.

I wouldn't have let it

get like it did between us.

- I don't understand you, Frannie,

when you talk about fighting.

You didn't have to fight for us.

It was never like that.

Might make you feel better thinking it,

but, uh, I'd no sooner turn you away

thug of a boyfriend or not

than I'd turn bloody criminal meself.

This is your home, whether you're with him or not,

whether you're here or not.

Always has been.

Always will be.

- Do I get to keep the outfit?

- See what I can do.

- Is it all really necessary?

- It's my job to protect you.

I'm the only person who can know your identity.

- How did I get here?

Didn't hang around with the wrong crowd.

Never even stolen any sweets.

- That's exactly why you are here.

Someone who wouldn't ask questions, wouldn't suspect.

- An idiot.

- No.

Just someone who trusted the person they loved.

- I want to get this over with.

- [Sean] You can save the princess

from those horrible giants.

He tried a sip of the drink.

Mmm.

Quite tasty.

Glug, glug, glug, glug.

He drank some more.

Soon he'd finished it.

Now for the sword, said Sam.

He gave a big old tug

and felt it move just a little.

Then he tried again.

Downstairs the giants

were knocking at the door. (doorbell buzzes)

Let us in, they bellowed.

Well, you're too big,

and the door's too small, said Sam.

Never mind that, yelled the giant.

Open this door now!

- Oh, you are in, lovely.

- All right. - Hello.

- Right.

What do you want?

- Well, just to say thank you, really.

Again.

For Gavin.

I didn't

Well we haven't had much

of a chance to catch up, have we?

In there.

And it's no bother to hop in the car,

so I just wanted to say properly.

Thank you properly.

You might not be a chocolaty person.

I'm not.

I love the taste.

It just gives me terrible diarrhea.

And I'm not good with a runny tummy.

I lose all my confidence.

So that was it, really.

I should probably be, um,

- Harriet, have you got a minute?

I mean, do you want to come in?

- Oh.

He's a credit to you,

isn't he, this little chap.

- [Lou] Mase!

- [Mason] Tastes horrible.

- Oh, dear. The best before is a little out.

- 2005?

- Sorry.

- Harriet.

Could you do us a favor?

- What?

There we go.

Oh.

(intense music)

- [Man] Stop, police!

Stop! Police!

- [Harriet] He's just having a little nap.

- [Man] Police!

Open the door!

- [Lou] Don't answer the door.

Get Mason and don't open the door.

(pounding on door)

- [Man] Police!

- [Harriet] What's going on?

(toilet flushes)

What's going on?

What's happening?

- Police, stay where you are.

- Oh, this is a mistake.

- Don't worry, baby.

Everything will be okay.

- [Harriet] I haven't done anything.

- [Man] And the little boy.

- This is ridiculous.

- Take him.

Mase, sit with Harriet for a minute.

Get your hands off him! - [Mason] Mummy.

- It's all right. - Mummy.

- [Lou] It'll be all right sweetheart,

I promise.

- [Mason] Mummy.

- It's all right, little one.

It's all right.

It's all right.

- [Police Woman] Put your hands out,

spread your legs.

I'm going to give you a pat down search.

- [Harriet] Mummy will be fine.

- Mummy.

- [Harriet] Mason!

- Mummy.

- It's okay, darling.

It's just a daft game.

Tell him it's a game.

Tell him, he's frightened.

(intense music)

It's okay, baby.

Don't worry.

I love you.

You can't do that!

Please,

he needs to be with me. (siren wailing)

I'm his mum, he's scared.

He's!

(siren wailing)

- [Man] Do you understand why you've been arrested?

Because of the nature of this offense,

I'm authorizing your detention in order to search,

Strip search.

Do you understand that?

Do you understand that?

- Are you a bit chilly?

- Yeah.

- [Harriet] There we are.

(sad music)

- Hello, Jenny Hughes, social worker.

Is this Mason?

- Yes, can you please tell me

what's happening to his mother?

- Are you his grandmother?

- [Harriet] No, I'm a, uh, family friend.

- [Jenny] I'm sorry, I can't give any information

about Louisa's status

while she's being questioned.

- Status?

- My concern is with getting Mason

into emergency foster care.

- He can stay with me.

- It's not quite as simple as that, I'm afraid.

If you're not immediate family,

- It's got to be better than packing him off

to some stranger's house, surely?

I know his mother.

- There's no point in arguing with me, I'm sorry.

We've already found an emergency

foster placement for him.

- Wh, where are you taking him?

- I can't tell you that.

- [Officer] Why would you run

if you've got nothing to hide?

- No comment.

- [Officer] It's a straightforward question, Louisa.

Is there anything you want to tell us?

- No comment.

- We've been watching your estate

for a while now.

And you've popped up quite a few times.

Can you explain why we might have

surveillance footage of you dealing drugs?

What I'm gonna show you now

is exhibit reference DL four.

It's approximately 40 grams

of what we believe to be crack cocaine.

Hard to flush it all, eh?
