Yeah, probably would have killed the moment a bit then.

This kid, he'd been boxing longer than Jamie had,
must have taken dozens of blows just like it
countless times before.
But somehow,
on the day, in that moment...
Said he was in a coma.
Two weeks.
And he recovered, but he was never,
never truly the same.
Neither was Jamie.
Took me years
to convince him that it wasn't his fault.
And it wasn't!
Even the doctor said that.
There was an undiagnosed clot on this boy's brain.
It had been there months, just sitting there
like a, like a ticking time bomb.
And if, if it hadn't been Jamie in the ring that day,
if it had been anyone else, same thing would have happened.
It wasn't his fault.
But the, uh, the guilt
that he carried was...
nearly destroyed him.
Oh, Peter, I'm so sorry.

That you couldn't trust her.
I never, I never said that.
I looked it all up, I found out what it was.
[sighs]: How could you ever trust her with that?
She doesn't care about you.
Look at what she's done.
Look at what she's caused.
You can see now, can't you?
That's all I ever wanted, Peter.
Oh.
It was you.
You gave the story to the paper.
It wouldn't have been a story, not without her.
You just needed to see that,
see what she was putting you through.
Then you'd understand-- her actions had consequences.
That you caused.
If not me, then someone else, eventually.
You know that.
I just got you there faster, that's all.
That's all you needed.
Jesus Christ.
All that stuff on the website, all those posts,
was you, too.
I did it for you.
So that you would see
that everything she ever does impacts on you,
hurts you.
Everything shedoes?
And that you...
You deserve better.
Get out!
Get out, now!
Okay, okay, no, you're obviously upset.
I can see that.
But... [sighs]
You'll think about it, yes?
And you'll understand why I did it.
You will.
I'll see you Monday.

All right.
I reckon that ought to do it.
Even you shouldn't need a full bottle to reach
the openly-talking-about- your-feelings stage.
Oh, I was there 20 minutes ago.
Just didn't want to interrupt Corrie.
You seemed gripped.

Becka. [sighs]
I don't know
what you're expecting me to say. Yes, you do.
Come on, Maggie.
You didn't really want to run away and hide
in some B and B for the night.
You wanted to talk to someone.
That's what you do.
Well, to be fair, you usually talk at them.
But still.
This is hurting me, too.
You know that, don't you?
This was a really big thing
in my husband's life,
and he never ever told me about it.
But he was trying
to protect you, Becka.
Yes, yes, yes, I know he was trying to protect me, too,
but that's different.
It's more complicated than that.
It's just, it's just different.
Why? [sighs]
Maggie...
Because I'm jealous, all right?
Yeah, I'm...
I'm, I'm jealous.
I'm his mother.
He's my baby boy.
I'm the one who should have been there
to comfort him and protect him
and tell him that everything was going to be all right.
I'm the one who should have been there
carrying this secret with him for the last ten years, not...
Oh, Jesus.
[sighs]
The single worst thing
that has ever happened in my son's life,
and I am jealous
of my own husband
that he knew and I didn't.
What the hell
does that make me?
[groans]
Human, Maggie.
Despite all previous evidence
to the contrary,
it makes you human.
And guess what?
You do get to be the person
to tell him everything's going to be okay.
Because you're the only person
he needs to hear it from right now.
The only person that counts, apparently.
Yeah, that's right.
I can be jealous, too.
[chuckles softly]
Becka...
Can I have a hug?
Oh, God, really?
[murmuring]
All right, but you can't tell anybody.
Okay.
Come here, Grandma.
[chuckling, sighs]
I don't think I like you calling me Grandma.
I know you don't.
Okay.
No, no, no, no. Oh.
Bit longer.
