Ben Walters,

yeah.

Oi.

I'm Daisy Kirkman's sister,

right,

and,

and you're gonna stop

sending her dick pics,

and you're gonna stop asking her to do things that she doesn't want to do.

What are you talking about?

I haven't done that.

Listen,

you little shit,

I've seen the messages.

Let me go.

And it stops.

Now,

look at me,

she is my sister.

And she's 14 and she doesn't want that crap on my phone.

Do you understand?

She told you what she sent me.

Hey,

you listening?

It stops,

alright?

Speak to your sister.

She's the slag who went along with it.

You speak about my sister like that,

I swear.

Sorry,

I just needed the bathroom.

This is serious,

isn't it?

Do you know what she's going to say?

No,

I'm in the same boat as you.

Just can't get my head around why they'd be attacking a year 10.

You said attacking.

The person from school who called me,

yeah,

they

attacked him.

Oh,

they must have had a reason.

Well,

I know what you're thinking.

Like father,

like son,

but I have never encouraged him to behave in an aggressive way.

No one's thinking anything.

No,

no.

But we've never had calls from the school before this year.

00,

so it must be in then,

is it?

Thank you for coming.

Oh,

hello,

hello.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Aside from the wasted costs to the fire

service and some of the disruption to classes,

some of the younger children were genuinely frightened that the school was ablaze.

We had to send 2 children home.

I've been doing this job long enough to know when I'm being lied to,

and all 3

are holding back on me.

So I'm imposing a 4 day suspension on Jess and Ollie,

and a 2 day suspension on Ben Walker.

Oh,

so the lad that breaks the glass gets half the time.

Mr.

Brooks.

This was premeditated.

Ollie and Jessica created a problem with Ben's locker,

so that he was late for class,

then accosted him,

then used physical force.

Just don't understand

why Jessica would do something like this.

It's very unlike Jessica to behave like that or with any violence.

She was obviously protecting her sister,

which is admirable,

and

I don't think Olly should get the same punishment.

I mean,

he could have stopped her.

Yeah,

but they're as bad as each other in this responsibility to stop saying that.

I'm saying.

It's final.

I don't doubt there's more to this story than meets the eye,

but without that context,

the suspension stands,

effective immediately.

I think Ollie and Jess should spend some time apart.

Still blaming him,

not blaming anyone.

It fucking sounds like it.

No,

sorry.

Listen.

You helped me when I needed it,

and I appreciate that,

but you,

you've looked down your nose at us since the first time you met.

No it is,

you look down your nose and the implication is our girl can do better.

That's rubbish,

not rubbish.

I told you when I met you I think that Jess has blossomed since she's been with Ollie.

So why do you want them apart?

Because they've just been suspended.

Pretty sure most reasonable parents would go conclusion,

what?

Wow,

loses his temper easily,

doesn't he?

On this occasion,

I can understand why.

I'll talk to Ali.

Well done.

Me?

Hannah,

I think I'll walk home.

Hey.

Sorry.

Thanks for sticking up for Ollie.

We talk.

We're talking.

No,

I mean in private.

Last time we spoke in private,

you told me that you wish you'd never met me.

No,

I know,

but I regretted that immediately and.

I came to apologise for him.

Daisy appeared.

Shouldn't have called Hanna.

I just,

I just lost my mind.

Why'd you come off the app?

Why do you think?

Because you told me it was over.

I miss you.

time.

You told me to step back?

Shall I step back?

And then your wife's not gone 2 minutes and you're wanting,

what?

Cause I'm kind of getting mixed messages here.

I can't stop thinking about you.

But you have to.

Cause you were right.

This is

It's not reality.

We're not going to burn down our lives.

Naya.

You.

Nope.

Great.

Well,

tell me then.

No,

I'm not opening it.

Well,

I've got all night,

mate.

What's going on?

He don't come out of here until he tells us the deal.

Neil,

you can't keep him hostage.

No,

I took his phone.

Let's see how long before he cracks.

Mum,

tell him he's being a dick.

Neil,

open the door.

Dad don't believe you,

and neither do I.

Why did you go for that lad?

I've told you.

You break this door,

your phone's going in the toilet.

Ew.

No,

we're being too soft on him.

If her mum's gonna take the moral high ground,

I want to know what she did and why.

I'm upset.

When have we ever got anywhere with him by yelling?

Go downstairs,

have a brew or a beer.

Let me play good cop for a bit.

Fine.

But he don't get this back until he talks.

It's me.

He's gone downstairs.

Imagine the day I've had.

I had to sit in front of the head teacher with Jess's parents.

I work at that school.

Look,

I know you can be a hothead sometimes.

I couldn't do anything.

But I have always said.

That whatever is going on,

you can talk to me.

If you don't want anyone else to know,

then no one will know.

But I am your mother.

You can trust me with anything.

Frankie,

God,

you've grown.

You coursing yet?

Tell you what,

if I was 15,

I'd be snapping you up.

That's so weird,

and I'm 13.

Who is it?

It's Dick.

It's Dave.

Beth,

Dave's here.

All right,

Neil,

mate.

So

I'd like to invite you both to my housewarming.

Moving back into Allie's house,

plus

I'm planting a tree in the garden for her,

right?

Are you back in there?

Well,

let's just say that me and your missus had a little financial tet I'd say,

and voila.

How do you mean?

Well,

it's my house anyway,

isn't it,

really.

Don't worry,

I'll pay my share.

Anyway,

it's on Saturday.

Excuse for the piss off.

Bev.

Bit of a situation with Olly.

Ah right,

yeah,

teenagers.

See,

that's why I'm glad I never had kids.

Well,

none that I know about anyway.

Saturday,

you see.

Right,

well,

just text us the details,

we'll try and come for a couple of hours.

All right,

So,

nice one.

I'll see you there.

Frankie,

you find yourself a man like your old fella,

cos that there is a top,

top bloke.

Give my love to Beth.

I'm not going to his house.

What kind of photos,

you know what kind?

And the stuff he was on about.

It was pretty bad.

They need to know that.

No,

look,

Jess will kill me.

What that kid did was out of order.

He's saying that Daisy's

stuff.

What's he saying she's done?

If I tell you,

you can't tell them.

It'll involve the school and

before you know it,

it'll be this massive deal.

You have to promise more.

Have a good time.

Piss off.

I know when I'm not wanted.

And I am not spending another second around

your place watching you play happy families.

What did you say?

Why don't you just come with me?

That you work things out.

Don't need to work anything out.

I'm fine.

Fine.

I mean,

Hannah and I,

we had a bit of a wobble.

There's nothing we won't work through.

I may be a needy fuck up,

Tommy,

but at least I know I am.

You know,

I'm honest enough to admit it.

Best of luck,

bro.

Kiss me.

I assume this is about Jess and Ollie.

Promises have been made.

Ollie to Jess and me to Ollie.

But I'm breaking my promise because if the shoe were on the other foot,

I would want to know,

OK?

OK.

But this is a promise you must keep.

You cannot let it be known that it was me that told you.

I won't.

I promise.

What is it?

The boy that they attacked.

Daisy had sent him

Photographs.

And he was sending her these like,

increasingly demanding messages.

Telling her what to do.

Presumably with the implication that if she didn't do it,

then he would show the photos to people.

But look,

we can go to the school confidentially or

Or the police.

No

Are you OK?

Yeah.

Just,

yeah,

I just need to.

Sorry,

are you OK?

I hope I did the right thing in telling you.

Yeah,

no,

you did.

I just um.

I just need to figure out the best way to deal with it,

you know,

especially without revealing that you told me.

Mother's intuition.

I think if you just

go to her,

she might open up to you.

I just feel so bad that she's been put through this,

you know,

I mean.

I know boys can be bastards,

but I

I should have spoken to her more about everything and just let her.

Hannah,

it's not your fault.

It is.

It is,

it is,

it is,

it is my fault.

I haven't been there for them,

Beth,

I haven't.

I know we all blame ourselves,

but I haven't.

God,

I'm so sorry for what I said about Neil.

So wrong of me if anyone is to blame for

anything to do with my girls,

it's me.

I don't know if you know this.

Tom alluded to it at my party.

But I really,

I haven't been very well.

These last few years I haven't been as good a parent.

As I would like to be.

I haven't been as good at anything.

Oh,

I'm I'm sorry.

It got really bad.

My whole world just caved in.

Some days I couldn't even get out of bed and I.

I know that I wasn't very nice to be around,

and I,

I think that my girls,

especially Daisy,

you know,

because she's just at that age,

just starting puberty.

They stopped coming to me.

They stopped telling me things,

and I think

I think Tom would have said to them,

you know,

don't take your problems to Mum,

just let her get well.

To,

I mean,

don't get me wrong,

he's been amazing.

But it can't have been easy for him.

You know,

watching his wife turn into a complete wreck.

I'm so sorry.

That must have been terrible for you.

You see,

my mother died very quickly.

Then when we were sorting through her things,

I found hidden away,

letters,

diaries.

Photographs,

all sorts of things all packed very,

very carefully in this.

Nondescript books.

But a box that told me that my whole life has been a lie.

The man

that brought me up.

And who I call Dad.

Wasn't really my father,

my real father.

had been killed.

He was stabbed to death outside a pub.

Oh God,

Hannah,

I'm so sorry.

My life was a lie.

The person closest to me,

lied to me,

my own mother.

And then that's when everything became very,

very fragile.

Sorry,

I don't know why I'm telling you all of this.

This is such an overshare.

I should be talking about Daisy.

No,

it's really,

it's fine,

but that's the funny thing,

you know,

because that's always been my worst fear,

something

happening to my girls,

you know,

something

awful happening to my family,

and the funny thing is,

you know,

the irony.

Me being like this is just made things so much worse.

I'm so embarrassed,

Beth.

I'm sorry.

Please don't be.

Oh

God,

me going on like this,

and you've lost a friend,

haven't you?

My God,

how are you?

I miss her everyday.

But look,

Hannah,

I

I did not mean to make you feel bad by

telling you about Daisy.

No,

I'm really,

really glad that you did.

It's much better than I know.

You're a good woman.

And if I've made you or Neil feel like I'm being superior,

I'm really sorry.

Oh he's a wonderful boy.

Jess adores him.

He makes her so happy.

I'm really grateful for that.

Yeah,

but we

We really love Jess.

She's a good kid.

You know,

once

we've got through these exams,

I would love it if we could spend more time together.

I really think our families could be good friends.

Beth,

What are you doing here?

Have you told her about us?

No,

why would I do that?

Why was she here?

Are you following her?

No,

I came to see you after your class,

and then there she was.

I would

it weren't of ours.

What's it about?

Jess,

don't ask because I can't tell you.

Well,

you can tell her,

but not me.

Well,

we're trying not to see each other.

How are you?

So much.

I thought I could,

but I just I can't let this go.

Hana

She really needs you.

I shouldn't have pushed you away.

I've never ever felt like this about anyone.

we

I just sat with your wife.

Well she poured her heart out

to me.

Imagine what that felt like.

She loves you.

She really,

really loves you,

you are lucky.

It was fear.

I've been so scared of smashing everything to pieces and then of change.

And

But maybe.

This is reality.

I should just burn everything down.

I'm sorry.

How was your evening?

Just a fundraising issue.

You're lying.

What?

You're the nook.

With Beth,

I was there,

complete coincidence.

Why were you meeting Beth?

I just wanted to

apologise to her um

about everything that happened at school.

I didn't want her and Neil to think that

I was being judgmental.

It's fine,

she was fine.

Tom,

I really,

really want us

to spend some time together as a family,

and me and you and the girls,

I just

I think we should go to the lakes and do some walking,

do some talking,

and just really hang out with each other this weekend.

Yeah,

there's a lot in this family that's been getting lost.

Yeah,

I'd love that.

Yeah.

How come you're back so late?

Oh,

it was uh

One of the girls' birthdays.

I forgot we had to take her for a drink.

Right.

What do you smell of?

It's more of aftershave.

Aftershave

Yeah,

like I've been snogging someone in my Zumba gear behind the church hall.

You

do though.

Well like with that

idiot bam and

he won't leave me alone.

What you doing?

I don't want another man's smell on me.

Gonna go and wash it off.

Everybody else.

Jess,

can you get off the phone please and help unpack?

Yeah,

yeah.

Jess,

come on,

we're on holiday.

Eyes up.

I'm not going to spend the next few days looking at the tops of your heads,

please,

off the phone.

Yeah,

I'll put it away in a minute,

Dad.

Right,

thank you.

Come here,

please.

You,

I

Phones or devices for the next 48 hours you're gonna all be offline,

we can play marbles or something.

Remember this house,

Lily?

Do you remember Grandma's house?

That's because you're bigger.

When were you last caught?

Was it when Grandma was in hospital?

Yeah,

yeah,

it was,

I think.

Hey,

hello.

Again?

Oh hi.

You look different to the last time.

Have you dyed your

hair?

See you later.

In we go,

in we go.

Completely mad as cheese.

And we go a mick out of me.

It's so annoying's dark.

Hold on,

I'm not having the bed on the floor.

rickety.

Wow.

You

didn't get loads of work done,

did you,

when you came up?

Well,

yeah,

I've done prep.

I think somebody had a bit of a holiday.

Put the kettle on.

Hey,

here you are.

I wondered where you were,

you alright?

Yeah,

yeah,

come here,

look at this.

I was up all night digging that,

planting a tree for Ali.

Not much of a tree,

is it?

It's a finia,

Elizabeth.

Represents the transient nature of life and

all that bollocks.

Is

that your speech,

is it?

So I was gonna spread the ashes underneath it.

You've already done that,

ain't you?

Yeah,

yeah,

where was it again?

Crasta,

Northumberland.

Crasta,

Northumberland,

yeah,

funny that,

all them years of marriage,

and she never ever mentioned that place.

We'll do the planting in half an hour.

Is that for me,

Neil,

lads?

Ah,

cheers mate,

I'll stick it in the fridge.

home.

Yeah.

Mm.

Childhood

Oh.

Mum,

she asked us to do it.

Well,

I'm just really glad to see you all playing together for once.

Look,

one of the reasons we wanted to come here is because

we wanted to spend some more quality time with you all,

and I'm gonna start with

do do do do do do do.

Daisy,

come on you.

Boots on.

Go for a walk here then,

Mona.

Oh,

you're a hypocrite.

I have to do some work.

What really happened?

Why were you suspended?

There's nothing more to tell.

I get it.

You're sticking up for your sister.

I did exactly the same.

Protected Paul all my life,

even when he's

a complete moron.

But Uncle Paul is a moron.

He ruined his life and Auntie Leah's.

You know she came round the other day?

Huh?

No one else was in,

she looked terrible.

Why would he do that?

You know,

he had everything going for him.

Oh,

Marriages are complicated,

aren't they?

No,

they're not.

If you love someone,

you don't do that.

Look at the funny beaver.

Should we go see it?

Yeah.

Oh,

Dad,

Ollie would love this.

We get a picture?

Yeah.

Look at his hat.

It's got a tie on as well.

Look,

he's Captain Beaver.

Don't,

don't do that face.

baby hug.

Well

As you all know,

this is the house that I shared with my wife Ali,

and although that marriage didn't last,

this place reminds me of the great times that we spent here together.

So it was a lasting memorial to a spirit I'd

I'm gonna plant this tree,

but before we do the planting,

I'd just like to read you all a poem.

Now I know you didn't have me down as a poem kind of guy,

but you know me,

dark horse.

But Ali was the first woman that I ever loved.

And this reminds me of how important that

that love once was.

A case

It's just a kiss.

Until it is with

Someone you will truly miss.

So lovely being back here.

Feels like old us.

It's what I took away from us,

isn't it?

Being like I was.

I think you must have hated me.

No.

Really?

Didn't hate

coming home to all that negativity.

I never hated you.

And

sometimes for the girls and

us,

it was

hard but.

I'm still me,

Tom.

I know.

It might be work.

It could be worse.

Hello

Tom,

it's me.

Yeah,

it is work.

I'll be.

Hey.

Can you talk?

Uh,

just about.

Tom,

I

I want to be with you too.

I know,

I know.

It's

Impossible without

causing a mess.

I want to be with you

Yeah,

but I do have to go back for a few hours

back home.

Why?

Yeah,

well,

it's a

patient with a mental health situation.

Just got a bit of a problem.

It's Zara from work.

I just have to go and check on her.

Yeah,

she's on all these apps.

Some of the guys are a bit creepy.

I'll come back and pick you up.

I love you.

I love you.

But I don't want to destroy lives.

We'll let the kids finish their exams.

See each other as much as we can.

Make plans.

We don't have to take anything fast.

Better to keep things secret for a while then

Blow everything up and cause chaos.

Yeah,

I think that's right.

I can't believe I found you.

We're really doing this.

Jess,

are you alright?

Yeah.

Do you want to prep the strawberries for pudding?

Um,

no.

I think I'll go and do some revision.

Hmm.

Thank you,

Dad.

It's only

OK,

do you want

Oh he's on the phone

Yeah,

thanks.

I think it's important.

Hiya,

did you get my messages?

What messages?

I've emailed you.

Uh,

I haven't checked.

Listen.

My mum's had an accident.

What,

is she alright?

Yeah.

It's all a bit weird.

She um,

she dashed off from this party thing and now she's had a crash in Darwin,

wherever that is.

Me and my dad are going there,

but he's been drinking,

so we're having to get an Uber.

Right,

um.

What's she doing in Darwin?

I don't know,

helping a friend,

I think.

She just took off.

Oh,

I wish you were here.

Yeah,

me too.

Um,

call me when you've seen me,

yeah?

Love you.

Love you.

Bye.

Yeah

Hello.

No.

Did you fix his patient?

I did.

Daddy Doctor saved the day.

All these mum's had an accident.

What?

Is she OK?

Yeah,

I think so.

She's um,

she's in a hospital somewhere weird.

What happened?

She hit a wall.

Where,

where is she?

A&E in Blackburn.

Is she injured?

Ollie said that

she's having X-rays and the car's wreck,

so.

It's about an hour away.

I need to go and be with Ollie.

Yeah,

I'll take you.

Are you OK?

Yeah.

But

yeah,

she said it was just,

it's not.

You alright,

mm?

Yeah,

I'll survive.

God,

you're gonna think I'm terrible with cards.

Yeah.

Sorry for dragging you away from your holiday.

No,

it's fine,

that's fine.

How are the lakes?

Yeah,

it's wonderful.

We love it there,

don't we?

Should we?

You,

you really don't have to drive us.

No,

it's the least I can do.

Did you help your friend?

What?

Oh,

No,

it was all over by the time I got there.

That's what you get for being a good person.

Hm.
