0:00:34 > 0:00:36PATRICK CHUCKLES Hey, what's got into you?

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Alfie, what the devil have you done?

0:00:43 > 0:00:46No, no, no! Get out of my way!

0:00:46 > 0:00:49No, Phil. You deserved it. I what?! You deserved it!

0:00:52 > 0:00:54You know I'm right, Kat.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56You know Janine did it. In your heart, you know.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57No, let's be clear.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01I want your sister to go to prison for a very, very long time.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Alfie?

0:01:03 > 0:01:04Alfie!

0:01:06 > 0:01:10What are you doing? Sweetheart, no time to explain. You need to pack a bag for you and Tommy straightaway.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14No. I'm not doing anything until you tell me what you're doing!

0:01:17 > 0:01:19OK.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21As long as you promise not to get mad, all right?

0:01:23 > 0:01:26He threw that thing. That thing. Of all things.

0:01:26 > 0:01:27You told him to beg!

0:01:27 > 0:01:31Imagine if someone had said that to you! Well, I'd kill them. So what?

0:01:31 > 0:01:34I don't get you two. It's me that has been dumped here.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36We were looking out for you.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Yeah? OK, what you going to do now?

0:01:38 > 0:01:41You going to go round there, smash his head in, get sent down?

0:01:41 > 0:01:43What we selling the Vic for, to pay your legal fees?

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Well, I ain't letting this go. Do you understand me? You started it!

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Stop being such a child!

0:01:50 > 0:01:53You've done this to stop me and Amy leaving, haven't you?

0:01:53 > 0:01:57You think you know what's best for me. Do you?

0:01:57 > 0:02:00OK, all right, well, understand this.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03You hurt Alfie...and we are gone.

0:02:06 > 0:02:07Over to you.

0:02:16 > 0:02:17Janine!

0:02:18 > 0:02:22Janine, come on, open the door, will ya? Please!

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Janine!

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Open the door. Please.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30All right! Just...hear me out. Please.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34Look, this whole thing has been a mistake. OK? I was...

0:02:36 > 0:02:38You were just there.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42This morning, with Alice, I was trying to get her to plead guilty.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44And?

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Well, will you let me in?

0:02:47 > 0:02:51Those agency chefs, they're not all that. You can't build a business on them.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54That's why you need to create a good relationship with Jake.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56You can't be friends with employees!

0:02:56 > 0:02:57Well, me and Zainab managed.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Ish. But you two weren't...

0:03:02 > 0:03:05When you're the boss, sometimes you have to make difficult decisions.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Be a git, you mean. That's a very strong word.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11You don't want to have dinner at Jake's because you're frightened

0:03:11 > 0:03:14that you're not going to be able to treat him like dirt at work. Precisely!

0:03:14 > 0:03:16No.

0:03:16 > 0:03:21Yeah, all right, kind of. Oh, Ian, just book the chef. It'll be fun. I promise.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Be grateful. I never get invites.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Just the noodles, please.

0:03:30 > 0:03:31Max!

0:03:33 > 0:03:34You busy tonight?

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Er, no. Don't think I am. Why?

0:03:37 > 0:03:41Denise and Ian are coming for dinner. Come. Bring a date.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Seven o'clock! Black tie. No, I'm joking. Smart though, yeah?

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Dexter not back yet? Er, no.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07All right, Lauren. All right.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10I've just been invited round Sadie's for dinner. She said bring a date.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13That little black book of yours must be a bit threadbare by now.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Yeah, anyway, I don't fancy going on my own, so...

0:04:19 > 0:04:22What, you need your hand holding? No, I'll probably need a translator.

0:04:22 > 0:04:23His accent ain't that bad, Dad.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26No, it's Sadie, innit? Find her a bit pushy.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27Fancy it?

0:04:31 > 0:04:33It's not sunny out.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Yeah, well, it's not sunny in here either, is it?

0:04:37 > 0:04:40Oh! It's bright in here though, innit?

0:04:43 > 0:04:44You'd better have been to work.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Come on, Nan.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Don't tell me you ain't never pulled a straight-through before?

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Yeah, the whole window. You can come today?

0:04:54 > 0:04:56That's perfect, thank you. Cheers.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02You'll stay...if I don't hurt him?

0:05:04 > 0:05:08Then I'm going to need something else. You was close to Alfie.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11What does he care about more than anything else in the world?

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Phil... If you don't want me to break his legs,

0:05:13 > 0:05:16I'm gonna need an alternative, ain't I?

0:05:16 > 0:05:18What is the one thing that Alfie loves?

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Apart from Kat and Tommy?

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Do I really need to tell you?

0:05:30 > 0:05:31Kat, you can't be serious.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35I'm not running away, I'm not hiding up there. But going round there?!

0:05:35 > 0:05:36You haven't left me much choice!

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Paddy, keep an eye on me bag.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Do you know, when they let him out,

0:05:47 > 0:05:52we just sat in front of the television all day and...and cried.

0:05:52 > 0:05:58Yeah. I prayed for the first time in...years when I heard the news.

0:06:00 > 0:06:01Oh, just to say thank you.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07It's like when you see him, you just...

0:06:07 > 0:06:10You feel...hope.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16OK, see ya. See ya.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Well, the solicitor wanted her to plead guilty to manslaughter.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31All these nightmares you've been having...

0:06:31 > 0:06:33I had to do something to help, so me and Carol went to see her.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36And what did she say?

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Well, it weren't exactly pretty, but she is going to do it.

0:06:39 > 0:06:40She is going to plead guilty.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Course, it makes sense for her too, cos it'll reduce her sentence.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47I ain't gonna deny that. But...

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Look, the important thing, Janine, is...

0:06:53 > 0:06:59that by Christmas Eve... all of this...will be over.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02All right?

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Just...do me a favour, yeah? Don't mention anything to Carol.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23Cos...she's a little bit upset about it all.

0:07:42 > 0:07:43Well, I didn't see that coming.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Dexter rolled up at lunch time, in case you're interested.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Maybe he finished early.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05As in, from the night before.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Well, he's only young once.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Oh! I'm sure Phil's going to see it that way.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14As I'm sure Dexter won't be unemployed by tomorrow.

0:08:14 > 0:08:15Well, has Phil said something?

0:08:15 > 0:08:17So you DO care.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Are you hurt? No.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25But thank you for coming round to find out.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28We've come to speak to Phil. Well, he's not home.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31So where is he? I just about stopped him coming round and killing you.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Well, that can't have been easy.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37I didn't do it for you. I did it for him. I don't want him inside for Christmas.

0:08:37 > 0:08:38So, um, how was he when he left?

0:08:41 > 0:08:42I'd get home if I was you.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Look, just bill us for the damage. Alfie...

0:08:46 > 0:08:49What do you mean, get home? Where's the Queen? He took it with him.

0:08:49 > 0:08:54Look, I tried to help you, OK? Whatever happens next...

0:08:54 > 0:08:55it's your fault.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59It's only two more guests.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Well, I didn't get enough food.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03You'll make it stretch, Jake.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Max is nice. He could be a friend.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10I can choose my own mates, you know.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13What's got into you?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15We had such a nice day.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17KNOCK AT DOOR

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Hi. You all right? Come on in. Thanks.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30You all right? Yeah, good. Hi. It's Max.

0:09:30 > 0:09:31Hello, mate. Glad you could make it.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Cheers, mate. All my dates were busy, so...

0:09:34 > 0:09:37So he roped the baby-sitter in. Yeah.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Can I take your coats?

0:09:40 > 0:09:41Yeah, cheers.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Thanks. Smells good. Look at that.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Thanks, darling. Thank you.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Tell me again. He puts it down... And walks out without saying a word.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Well, maybe he's letting you off.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55I just checked the cellar cos I thought he might've taken all the booze, but he hasn't.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57The look on Roxy's face, I thought he'd burned the place down again!

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Not before he's sold it!

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Phil's gonna do something. And it won't be about money for repairs.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06This is Phil we're talking about. He's gonna try and hit me where it hurts.

0:10:08 > 0:10:09Pint, please, Patrick.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13Anyway, said I'd help me mum cook. Let me know what happens, yeah?

0:10:13 > 0:10:15All right, see you later, sweetheart.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18Looking out for Cora? Nah. She already got me.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Your mum... She's hurting, you know.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23And I'm not, Patrick?

0:10:26 > 0:10:30Alfie, please tell me you parked the Capri somewhere else today... No. Why?

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Ian. Hi, come on in! Come on then.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Don't make me do it with my dad.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45HE SIGHS

0:10:46 > 0:10:48I win!

0:10:48 > 0:10:49Does that mean I wear the hat, or you do?

0:10:49 > 0:10:51You get to choose.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55In that case, I choose you.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Ian and Denise are here, everyone.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01All right, Denise. All right, Ian.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Max... I didn't know you were coming.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Why, do I need my lawyer?

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Why don't you have a seat? And Ian, you go next to her.

0:11:10 > 0:11:11Who'd like some wine?

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Oh, yes, me, please! Look at all this!

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Dunno whether to eat or take a photograph.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Feel free to do both!

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Tell you what, this place is lovely.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22You'll have to give me the tour, won't you?

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Thank you. And for you?

0:11:25 > 0:11:27No, I'll just have some water.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Oh, OK. Here you go.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Thank you.

0:11:31 > 0:11:32Right...

0:11:32 > 0:11:37now that everyone's pretty much got their glasses charged, I think

0:11:37 > 0:11:42now is a good time to have a toast to Jake and Ian working together.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Yeah, here's to a fruitful partnership.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46ALL: Cheers.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Talking of which, I don't know why I didn't think of you sooner...

0:11:50 > 0:11:53No, Ian. All right? Whatever it is...no.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56All right, everybody tuck in. I'll check on the main.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49It's too much for one of us. He's asked for 800 grand.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52We could put together a company, he need never know it's us.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54No, I've got a hard enough time trying to buy the house off Jack.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Max, think about it, business partners.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59We could keep Alfie and Kat on. How much would Phil hate that?

0:12:59 > 0:13:04I ain't gonna invest in a failing industry just to put Phil Mitchell's nose out of joint!

0:13:04 > 0:13:07Really? Can you let it go, please?

0:13:07 > 0:13:10I'll go see if he needs any help in the kitchen.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15It'd be good for us. OK? Help build bridges.

0:13:15 > 0:13:16Ian. There is no us.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23You shouldn't have come.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Was it just for the grown-ups?

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Oh, is this is cos I called you the baby-sitter?

0:13:27 > 0:13:29Maybe you should grow up.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31I've been sent to see if you need any help.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35As you know, I can peel, chop, slice, dice.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36So, stir that.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Congratulations on the new job.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46Just hope last week was a one-off.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49Have you forgotten how close we were to getting caught?

0:13:49 > 0:13:53So that's what this is, then? Just guilt?

0:13:53 > 0:13:57Why does she want you to do it anyway? She must know.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59We're just trying to move on.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Brush it under the carpet? Pretend that you're fine?

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Don't question her, all right? She's suffered more than...

0:14:04 > 0:14:07Jake, how are we doing? Nearly there.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Good. Don't want Ian thinking he's a slow cook.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Nice of her to pile the pressure on, eh?

0:14:18 > 0:14:21What is it, Janine? We're just about to eat.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25I'm so sorry... I won't keep you, I just...

0:14:26 > 0:14:27I just don't know what to do.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35You know what, you've got to get this on the menu at the restaurant.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38He's got enough on his plate learning the other dishes.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41On his plate! You can throw anything at my Jake.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44He'll have this menu down in an afternoon.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46It's not that simple. Ignore him, he's modest to the last.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50Why don't you drink? Lauren...

0:14:50 > 0:14:53He doesn't touch a drop when you're cooking, do you, babe?

0:14:53 > 0:14:55Honestly, those chefs...

0:14:55 > 0:14:59fat off their own food, drunk on the house red...

0:14:59 > 0:15:02I think everyone's probably guessed.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04I'm a recovering alcoholic.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Jake.

0:15:07 > 0:15:0882 days clean.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13Well, that is wonderful. Well done.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Yeah, well done, mate, that's a good stretch. Cheers.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Anyway, I don't really think this is the time to... I'm an alcoholic too.

0:15:19 > 0:15:2382 days? Your sponsor must be proud.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26He's a man of few words. Makes a change. Anyway...

0:15:26 > 0:15:29Done really well, ain't you, Lauren? One hundred and...

0:15:29 > 0:15:32169, yeah.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Well done.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38Must be hard, working so close to alcohol?

0:15:38 > 0:15:42You can't pretend it doesn't exist.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44But that's hiding from it, not fighting it.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46I know exactly what you mean.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49He didn't just knock back a few alcopops.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52Really? How bad was it?

0:15:52 > 0:15:53I should have told you, Ian.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57Look, if you want to find a new chef, I completely understand. No hard feelings.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00No, no. Look, everyone deserves a second chance.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02See? He ain't such a git after all!

0:16:02 > 0:16:04THEY LAUGH

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Well, I'm glad you can all have a laugh about it.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11HE MOUTHS

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Um, sorry, where's your loo?

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Just upstairs. Straight ahead.

0:16:24 > 0:16:25Paddy, is Kat back?

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Not yet. Have you found it?

0:16:27 > 0:16:29I've been looking all over the place.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Nothing. Where the hell do you hide a Capri, eh?

0:16:35 > 0:16:38All right, Ava? Hey, Billy. You haven't seen Dexter, have you?

0:16:38 > 0:16:41Dunno, I just got in here. You OK? Mum! What you doing here?

0:16:41 > 0:16:43I came to see you, darling. For what?

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Everyone's been coming up to me saying, "Your mum misses you, she's so worried."

0:16:46 > 0:16:50But you ain't, you're out here on the pull! What? No, I came to talk to you...

0:16:50 > 0:16:53I can see why you kicked Dad out. Billy Mitchell? You're moving up in the world(!) Oi!

0:16:53 > 0:16:56Really worth breaking up our family over?

0:16:56 > 0:17:01I wish I never came in here now. Mum, where are you going? You can't leave without his number! Go on.

0:17:03 > 0:17:04What'd you do that for?

0:17:04 > 0:17:09Look, what I just done was nothing! Yeah? Nothing compared to what she's done to me.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19SHE SIGHS I don't know what to do.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23I just needed somebody after Michael and he was there...

0:17:25 > 0:17:28Well, grief does strange things to you.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31He just gets so intense...

0:17:32 > 0:17:36It's scary. He has had a bad day.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39I know you went to the prison today to see Alice.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41And that's fine, you know?

0:17:41 > 0:17:46She's his sister, of course he's going to want to see her, but he just seems so angry at me.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50I don't know what's going on inside his head.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52He's trying to get Alice to plead not guilty.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Well, he believes in her.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00But she's gonna get years! He's so pig-headed.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04He thinks the jury's going to let her off cos she's sweet or something.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07That's the trouble with the brooding type, isn't it?

0:18:07 > 0:18:11Just never know what's going on underneath the surface, you can only guess at it.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13What are you going to do?

0:18:13 > 0:18:17About Joey? I don't know.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20But thank you for the chat. You've been a real comfort.

0:18:30 > 0:18:36KNOCKING CONTINUES

0:18:39 > 0:18:40He hates me!

0:18:44 > 0:18:48I just tried to talk to him and he hates me.

0:18:48 > 0:18:49Go through.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58SHE SWITCHES OFF MUSIC Talk.

0:18:58 > 0:19:03He just totally humiliated me... and Billy.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06He's just accused us of trying to pull each other.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08That boy needs a slap.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14He still blames me for Sam leaving.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18Then go and get Sam back.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21I don't mean have a relationship with the man.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24Just get together as a family and talk.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26He didn't leave because of me.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28Look, I get it.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31I get that he got what he wanted and walked.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36But you can't tell Dexter that his old man's a rat...

0:19:36 > 0:19:39SHE LAUGHS BITTERLY Got what he wanted.

0:19:41 > 0:19:42Whatever this is...

0:19:44 > 0:19:45..I can keep a secret.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51He left...

0:19:51 > 0:19:54because I found out that he knew

0:19:54 > 0:19:56he needed a kidney before he even came here.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00All that wanting to get to know us.

0:20:00 > 0:20:05Wanting to be a family. All he wanted...was a transplant.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43FAINT MUSIC PLAYS

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Lauren. Everything OK?

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Yeah. I...

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Busted! I'm so sorry.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57I was...just being nosey.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Right.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04It's just you've got the most beautiful jewellery!

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Sorry.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15Phil, come on, just tell us what you did with it!

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Excuse me, you said you wanted no part of it.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Brace yourselves.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24I've been looking for you.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Alfie is out of his mind with worry.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28I'm telling you that cos that's what you want.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30I'm giving it to you - what you want.

0:21:30 > 0:21:31Right. Is that for you to decide?

0:21:31 > 0:21:34There's two things going on here, and they ain't the same.

0:21:34 > 0:21:35There's the pub and the car.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37You know, she almost talked him round.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40She went on and on about how she didn't want us to push you out,

0:21:40 > 0:21:43how it was going to make her feel a lot worse.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45And you know what, Phil said, "Actually, maybe she's got a point."

0:21:45 > 0:21:49And then Her Royal Highness came flying through the window.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50Did he choose that on purpose?

0:21:50 > 0:21:53Course not, it's Alfie, he don't think.

0:21:53 > 0:21:54So you did change your mind then?

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Phil, he loves that car. It's part of him!

0:21:58 > 0:22:00You should see him. All the blood's

0:22:00 > 0:22:02drained from his face, he's sweating buckets.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04This is revenge well over and above a window.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09Do what you want with it. Everyone knows you've outdone him.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Everyone knows you're the boss.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13Just please...

0:22:13 > 0:22:14let us stay in the pub.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20He really loves that car, does he?

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Yeah. More than anything.

0:22:26 > 0:22:27I'll let you talk it over.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32You're not really going to change your mind?

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Wonder where those two have got to.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Women, mate, they like to talk, don't they?

0:22:44 > 0:22:48You're so lucky. You've got a beautiful house.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51Jewellery. Family.

0:22:51 > 0:22:52It hasn't come easy.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56You all look so happy together.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02You should see ours. Mum's gone.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05Dad's looking for wife number 210.

0:23:07 > 0:23:13I'm sorry I snapped earlier. When you were talking about your...

0:23:13 > 0:23:14Drink problem?

0:23:14 > 0:23:15SHE LAUGHS

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Yeah. It's fine.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19Seeing a place like this...

0:23:19 > 0:23:24just proves if you want something bad enough you can get it.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Well, you never know. Maybe one day.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35I need a job first. And no, baby-sitting doesn't count.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38It's just hard, you know.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42People have a habit of not trusting alcoholics.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48Know what he asked me to do? He asked me to beg.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53Asked me to get on my knees in front of Roxy and beg for this place.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56How sick is that, eh? It was a cheap shot.

0:23:56 > 0:23:57ALFIE SIGHS

0:23:57 > 0:24:01I came back here... picked up the Queen.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04She ain't half heavy. You can say that again!

0:24:04 > 0:24:06And I was lugging her across the square...

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Wish I could've seen the look on his face as it come

0:24:09 > 0:24:11flying through the window. Beetroot red.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Veins popping everywhere!

0:24:13 > 0:24:16I was so knackered, I didn't think I was going to get it past his gate!

0:24:16 > 0:24:18So what did you do then?

0:24:18 > 0:24:21I just gathered up all the strength I could muster...

0:24:23 > 0:24:26..and I just chucked it straight through his window.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28And I'll tell you something, Paddy...

0:24:28 > 0:24:30it felt great.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34You know, the car...

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Me and Kat have been all over the country in that thing.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Phil, he's a car man. He wouldn't destroy a classic.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50The car...the pub.

0:24:50 > 0:24:51I've lost it all, you know.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Alfie. There she is. All right, darling?

0:24:55 > 0:24:56What happened?

0:24:56 > 0:24:59I found him. He was in the cafe. I tried.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01I think I might've got somewhere...

0:25:01 > 0:25:04You think he's going to give me the car back?

0:25:04 > 0:25:07Hey, I love you, don't I?! Mwah.

0:25:08 > 0:25:12Alf. Phil's downstairs. Wants to talk to you.

0:25:16 > 0:25:17There you are.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Lauren was just checking out our bedroom.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22Thought that was going to be our little secret?

0:25:22 > 0:25:23What were you doing that for?

0:25:23 > 0:25:24Oh, she was just being nosey.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27I'd have done the same thing. Anyway, the good news is

0:25:27 > 0:25:29that she's going to come and work for me again over Christmas.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33Yeah? Back in the salon? Well done!

0:25:33 > 0:25:36Be good to have someone in there I can trust.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Oh, well, that calls for another toast, don't it?

0:25:41 > 0:25:43To Lauren. To me!

0:25:43 > 0:25:46To Lauren, cheers. MAX: Cheers.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Cheers.

0:25:56 > 0:26:00Ah! Listen up, everyone! Drinks on the house until the money runs out!

0:26:00 > 0:26:01To Kat and Alfie.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03ALL: Wahey!

0:26:03 > 0:26:04On the house?

0:26:04 > 0:26:08Thought we should celebrate, you know, settling scores.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Phil... You said he loved that car, didn't ya?

0:26:10 > 0:26:12So, er, I brought it back.

0:26:17 > 0:26:22Right, what's everyone having? Lager? Do you want a large one?

0:26:22 > 0:26:24DEXTER: I'll have two tequilas, no, I'll have three!

0:26:24 > 0:26:27HE MUMBLES

0:26:36 > 0:26:39Mm-mm, you were having nightmares.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42How long have I been asleep?

0:26:42 > 0:26:45Just enough time for me to go over and see Carol.

0:26:45 > 0:26:46Let me give you a little tip, shall I?

0:26:46 > 0:26:49If you DON'T want someone to do something,

0:26:49 > 0:26:52you should just probably not mention anything about it at all.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54What you on about?

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Well, telling me NOT to go and see Carol.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Of course, as soon as you were asleep I went straight over.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02And she's been very helpful. She's told me everything.

0:27:03 > 0:27:08How you've been to see Alice and begged her to plead NOT guilty.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10That ain't true. And do you know what?

0:27:10 > 0:27:12She actually... She actually thought

0:27:12 > 0:27:13she was helping you out by telling me!

0:27:16 > 0:27:17Oh, such a shame.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24But I want you gone by the time I'm back.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26Janine, don't... Ah, ah, ah.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31We are so over, Joey. Whatever it was,

0:27:31 > 0:27:33your big plan...

0:27:35 > 0:27:36..it's finished.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41So what happens now? You're not selling?

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Is there anything better than a pub in full swing?

0:27:43 > 0:27:45I miss it.

0:27:45 > 0:27:49Phil, I can't see the car out there anywhere, mate.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51That's cos it ain't out there. It's in here.

0:27:52 > 0:27:53Take a look around.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56No, I d-d-don't get it.

0:27:56 > 0:28:01I, er... I sold your car for scrap and put the money behind the bar.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04So, everyone in here, they're actually drinking your car, right?

0:28:05 > 0:28:07Drinking it?

0:28:07 > 0:28:09I don't negotiate, Alfie. You should know that by now.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11You either roll over, or it gets worse.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Oh, and I've checked the contract for the Vic.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16And it says "voidable in the event of unreasonable behaviour".

0:28:16 > 0:28:17So, you...

0:28:18 > 0:28:19You're out at Christmas.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23HE CHUCKLES

0:28:23 > 0:28:26Enjoy your drinks, everyone! Drink up!

0:29:12 > 0:29:13SHE LAUGHS

0:29:13 > 0:29:16See you later.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18Wow, that's great. And is Haroon coming?

0:29:18 > 0:29:19'Yeah.'

0:29:19 > 0:29:21Yeah? And what are you going to do?

0:29:21 > 0:29:23'Eat kulfi.'

0:29:23 > 0:29:26Oh, you're going to eat Kulfi! Kamil's new friend.

0:29:26 > 0:29:29They're going to the zoo. They're going to eat kulfi.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Ah, that's sweet! So what animals are you going to see?

0:29:31 > 0:29:33Little Kamil's got himself a little friend.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36Oh, wow, so are you having fun with Haroon?

0:29:36 > 0:29:39He's not Kamil's friend.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42Oh, that's so funny. Crazy Haroon!

0:29:42 > 0:29:45What are you talking about?

0:29:45 > 0:29:47Are you crazy? 'No.'

0:29:47 > 0:29:49No. You're a good boy, aren't you?

0:29:56 > 0:29:58I hear the king's leaving his castle.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01Don't you ever get tired? I'll take these ones, please.

0:30:01 > 0:30:02Might put an offer in myself.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04You know, take it a bit more upmarket.

0:30:04 > 0:30:08You wouldn't know what upmarket was. Looks like times are changing, Phil.

0:30:08 > 0:30:13# This year, to save me from tears... #

0:30:19 > 0:30:20Oi.

0:30:22 > 0:30:24You better hand your notice in today.

0:30:24 > 0:30:29She's gonna wonder why, isn't she? Don't play games with me, Lauren.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32You don't want me. You don't get a say.

0:30:33 > 0:30:36Hey. Missing me already?

0:30:36 > 0:30:39Yeah. Dream on. Listen, good luck today.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42Thank you.

0:30:42 > 0:30:44Are you ready for your first day back with us?

0:30:44 > 0:30:47Yeah. Can't wait. It's gonna be great. Come on.

0:30:47 > 0:30:48Bye.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Are you sure about this? SHE SIGHS

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Yep. I've let work slip for far too long.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59Yeah, but last time you went back too soon, didn't you?

0:30:59 > 0:31:02Life goes on, Billy. Apart from those behind bars,

0:31:02 > 0:31:04life goes on.

0:31:08 > 0:31:09So have your shower before bed.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12I don't want my shower before I go to bed. It's rank.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14Well, suck it up, then. I want my showers in the morning.

0:31:14 > 0:31:16But there's always someone else in there.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18Liam never has a shower anyway.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21That house does my head in.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23You don't even know what they're really like, do you?

0:31:26 > 0:31:29DOOR OPENS

0:31:29 > 0:31:31This thing weighs a ton.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33I nicked it from the club,

0:31:33 > 0:31:36thought we could do with a bit more festive cheer around here.

0:31:38 > 0:31:40You've got to do it, you know.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42I know.

0:31:42 > 0:31:45Just sign them. And then it's gonna be over.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47Amy, come on, it's time to go to school!

0:31:49 > 0:31:53So, want to decorate this bad boy with me later?

0:31:53 > 0:31:57I'm not in the mood, Ron. Oh, come on, Roxy.

0:31:57 > 0:31:59Amy, will you get a move on now!

0:32:01 > 0:32:04Lovely, lovely, lovely. Size isn't everything.

0:32:04 > 0:32:06No, it's what's inside that counts.

0:32:06 > 0:32:11Right, there you go. Cheers. I was video-calling Kamil, you know.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14Get you, geek boy! That looks nothing like my signature.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17They all say that. That'll do, thank you. He's got a new friend.

0:32:17 > 0:32:20Has he? Bet you miss him this time of year, don't you?

0:32:20 > 0:32:21Yeah, it's gonna be weird.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23So stick a stamp on a bit of love, eh?

0:32:23 > 0:32:26Masood, are you looking for Carol? She ain't here, Mas.

0:32:26 > 0:32:30No, I was just delivering... Some junk mail. Rubbish. Things.

0:32:30 > 0:32:32Junk mail. Yeah, junk mail. See ya.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40Is that...? Yeah, it is. Do you do this every year?

0:32:40 > 0:32:44Mostly, yeah. But this year, you know, new home and that.

0:32:44 > 0:32:46I've made it really big. Bet you miss Lapland.

0:32:46 > 0:32:47HE LAUGHS

0:32:51 > 0:32:54All right?

0:32:54 > 0:32:56Dozy idiot forgot his bag.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02TJ.

0:33:04 > 0:33:05You all right with me?

0:33:06 > 0:33:09Yeah. Yeah, I'm late for school.

0:33:11 > 0:33:13DOOR CLOSES

0:33:16 > 0:33:18I'll have a coffee to take away, please.

0:33:18 > 0:33:22You know what I'd do with the pub, Phil? Open-plan kitchen.

0:33:22 > 0:33:24Bit more modern, yeah?

0:33:24 > 0:33:27If you think for one minute I'd sell the pub to you...

0:33:27 > 0:33:29You're breaking up your empire, ain't ya?

0:33:29 > 0:33:31I'm just offering a hand, if you need cash.

0:33:31 > 0:33:33You are skating on very thin ice.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35You'd better hope I don't fall through, then.

0:33:35 > 0:33:37Wouldn't want Ben to get a little visit in prison, would we?

0:33:37 > 0:33:40You stay away from my businesses, and my family.

0:33:40 > 0:33:44Oi, would you two get back in the jungle?

0:33:44 > 0:33:46Looking good today. Wish I could say the same.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49Feisty. I like that. Feisty's just the start of it.

0:33:49 > 0:33:51Carl was just going.

0:33:51 > 0:33:52I was indeed.

0:33:54 > 0:33:56Phil.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01I don't want you talking to him. Will you please stop interfering?

0:34:01 > 0:34:04I don't want you anywhere near him. It's my life.

0:34:10 > 0:34:14Right, that is ?5.99 each, Mr Mas. ?5.99? Yeah.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16You break your old one?

0:34:16 > 0:34:19No, one for Kamil and one for his friend Haroon.

0:34:19 > 0:34:22You know they can share, right?

0:34:22 > 0:34:26Yeah, but everyone loves presents. Show him how we do things over here.

0:34:26 > 0:34:27Why don't you just get him

0:34:27 > 0:34:31some Brussels sprouts or a "Cliff Richard Sings Slade" CD?

0:34:31 > 0:34:34You're like the Grinch that stole Christmas, you know.

0:34:34 > 0:34:35Keep the change.

0:34:41 > 0:34:43You can't tell him, bruv. You know that, right?

0:34:43 > 0:34:46Isn't that what Grinches do?

0:34:46 > 0:34:47All right, all right.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54What is it? What, have I got a second head now or something?

0:34:54 > 0:34:56You had no right, talking to your mother like that.

0:34:56 > 0:35:00She chucks out my dad then she starts giving it all big over Billy Mitchell, yeah?

0:35:00 > 0:35:03Sometimes things aren't always what they seem to be.

0:35:03 > 0:35:04You know something...

0:35:04 > 0:35:07I'm just saying, you're being very unfair to her.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10Is this about her and my dad? It's not my place, Dexter.

0:35:10 > 0:35:12Look, if someone would tell me where he is,

0:35:12 > 0:35:15then he could talk to me himself. Yeah? Then ask her.

0:35:17 > 0:35:18Someone looks rough.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23Apology accepted.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33Don't worry, I didn't tell him

0:35:33 > 0:35:36what his pathetic excuse of a father done to him.

0:35:37 > 0:35:39I didn't get that job.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42That one I interviewed for the other day,

0:35:42 > 0:35:45Head of the Children's Centre. I'm really sorry.

0:35:45 > 0:35:48They did offer me something else though. Same post.

0:35:48 > 0:35:49But in Newcastle.

0:35:56 > 0:35:59I've got 30 irate customers out there waiting for their lunch.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02This your charm offensive to get me to buy half the Vic with you?

0:36:02 > 0:36:04Boring boss speech is finished, secret Santa's finished. Come on!

0:36:04 > 0:36:07So give them a free drink. Oi listen, it's proper crazy out there!

0:36:07 > 0:36:10No customers back here, please. Can I get some service, please?

0:36:10 > 0:36:13Listen, have you heard from my dad? Why would I have heard from him?

0:36:13 > 0:36:16He did some work for you here. That was ages ago! Be careful with that!

0:36:16 > 0:36:19I thought you might have a number or something.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21Well, I haven't, all right? Have you got room for two more?

0:36:21 > 0:36:24No customers back here, please! There's no-one at the front desk

0:36:24 > 0:36:26and I know you've got a big group in, but...

0:36:26 > 0:36:29Look, this is really bad timing. It's Lauren's first day.

0:36:29 > 0:36:31Just want to treat her to lunch, bit of a gossip.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33Staff discount doesn't cover the Christmas menu, but follow me.

0:36:39 > 0:36:40Service, please!

0:36:46 > 0:36:49She isn't interested. I just wanted five minutes.

0:36:49 > 0:36:52So unless you're after a property... I know what you said, but

0:36:52 > 0:36:54I haven't stopped thinking about you, Janine. I haven't slept.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56Am I not making myself clear here? Billy!

0:36:56 > 0:37:00Please can you just go and clean a cupboard or something?

0:37:11 > 0:37:13I know my timing isn't great, but can I have a word?

0:37:13 > 0:37:16Yeah, course. Alfie. In private.

0:37:16 > 0:37:18Estate agents are leaving.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21Let me get you a drink.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Go away. Whoa, whoa, whoa, come on.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26There's a couple of hubcaps' worth left behind the bar.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28Get you one with that, shall I? Kat!

0:37:28 > 0:37:30You threw a bust through Phil's window. What did you expect?

0:37:32 > 0:37:34I'll see them out.

0:37:37 > 0:37:40Well, you know, you and me. We were good together. Were we?

0:37:40 > 0:37:44You know we were. We fitted. Like yesterday. When we...

0:37:44 > 0:37:45And that's why you're here?

0:37:45 > 0:37:48You're trying to wangle your way back between my sheets?

0:37:48 > 0:37:50No. No, I'm not.

0:37:50 > 0:37:54Well, yeah. Obviously I'd love to. Yeah, I bet you would.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58I do like it when you're angry, Janine. It's very sexy.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01Trust me, Joey. You have not seen me angry yet.

0:38:01 > 0:38:02So what was last night, then?

0:38:02 > 0:38:05That was like the kind of minor irritation that you feel

0:38:05 > 0:38:09when you've got something stuck to the bottom of your shoe.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11You're good at this, aren't you?

0:38:11 > 0:38:14I think you know that I'm good at everything.

0:38:14 > 0:38:17So what, is this the part where you ravish me across the desk?

0:38:17 > 0:38:19All right, don't make it a joke, Janine.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22Then I stroke your face so dreamily.

0:38:22 > 0:38:25And then you ask me for a loan?

0:38:25 > 0:38:28And you pretend that it's to buy me something really nice for Christmas.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31Or that you've got behind with your rent.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34Because you haven't exactly been working a lot lately, have you?

0:38:34 > 0:38:37And then I chastise you because you're spending

0:38:37 > 0:38:41so much time away, creeping off to see your little sister.

0:38:41 > 0:38:44Janine, don't... Which you, of course, protest about.

0:38:44 > 0:38:47And I joke, oh, am I paying you for services rendered?

0:38:47 > 0:38:50That makes you really riled and that's when you say...

0:38:50 > 0:38:53It's just a loan, Janine, OK.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55So you can get your sister a better lawyer?

0:38:55 > 0:38:58So that she can tell more lies about me?

0:39:00 > 0:39:01He was my husband.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07You really weren't at the front of the queue

0:39:07 > 0:39:09when they dished out the brains, were you?

0:39:21 > 0:39:25So I've been filling in the Nullity Form.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28OK, so what? What do you need? A signature?

0:39:28 > 0:39:32No. Not till you get the copy of my petition from the court anyway.

0:39:32 > 0:39:34So...?

0:39:34 > 0:39:41I have to describe how our marriage was never consummated, yeah?

0:39:41 > 0:39:47I have to write down that I wanted to have sex with my husband,

0:39:47 > 0:39:49but you refused me.

0:39:49 > 0:39:53I mean, how shaming and embarrassing is that?

0:39:53 > 0:39:55Rox, I'm sorry, all right?

0:39:55 > 0:39:58Put it in black and white. You don't want me.

0:39:58 > 0:40:01That we didn't have a wedding night.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03Oh, and it's going to cost me ?410.

0:40:04 > 0:40:07I thought we weren't going to need lawyers?

0:40:07 > 0:40:09That's just for the application.

0:40:21 > 0:40:24That's the least we can do. None of this was your fault.

0:40:24 > 0:40:25If you...you need any more, OK.

0:40:25 > 0:40:29I'm not a charity. It's what I'm owed.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33She's trying really hard here, all right.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36Do me a favour, just put another one in there, yeah?

0:40:36 > 0:40:38Aren't you supposed to be picking up Amy soon?

0:40:38 > 0:40:40Amy is nothing to do with you now, is she?

0:40:55 > 0:40:57Dexter still not shown up yet?

0:40:57 > 0:41:00He just had to go and get some parts.

0:41:00 > 0:41:02I tell you what, he isn't getting any more chances.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04Well, you've only just missed him.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13I'm looking for my dad. Have you seen him?

0:41:13 > 0:41:18Sam. Big guy. He works as a... I know who your dad is.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20Yeah, well? He don't like people knowing his business.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22Well, he's my dad!

0:41:22 > 0:41:26He comes and he goes. Wherever the work is. Germany. Spain.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36He swung by last week. And?

0:41:36 > 0:41:40He comes and he goes. He came. He went.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43Have you got his number or not?

0:41:43 > 0:41:45I thought he was your dad.

0:41:49 > 0:41:52PEOPLE CHATTER

0:41:55 > 0:41:57Hi. Hi.

0:41:57 > 0:42:01Lauren's been telling me some very interesting things. Yeah?

0:42:01 > 0:42:04Yeah, about how her mum used to run the place.

0:42:04 > 0:42:07The firms she did deals with, that sort of thing.

0:42:07 > 0:42:08That's great.

0:42:08 > 0:42:12Yeah, apart from that, we've just been talking about men.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15Nothing bad, I hope? You know what us girls are like.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18Anyway, I've got to go and corner Alfie.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21Bet you two can't wait to get back to it.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23That salon's not going to run itself, you know. See ya.

0:42:23 > 0:42:24See ya.

0:42:38 > 0:42:42Taking these to the post office. You want anything?

0:42:42 > 0:42:46So you're...are you going to the High Street?

0:42:46 > 0:42:49Yeah, cos you don't really want to go that far.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51You see, there used to be a local post office.

0:42:51 > 0:42:54Another Masood family business...

0:42:55 > 0:42:58THEY CHUCKLE AWKWARDLY

0:42:58 > 0:42:59You're being odd.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01Odd? No.

0:43:03 > 0:43:04No. What's happened?

0:43:06 > 0:43:08Nothing. I'm not being odd. I'm not odd.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11Your boy being odd? No!

0:43:11 > 0:43:13Are you being odd? Me. No. I don't do odd.

0:43:13 > 0:43:16You odd? No. Nothing odd here, then.

0:43:16 > 0:43:18No, nothing. Nothing odd here.

0:43:23 > 0:43:24Dad!

0:43:26 > 0:43:28I thought a street party for Christmas Day.

0:43:28 > 0:43:29Bit cold, ain't it?

0:43:29 > 0:43:31Bonfire. Carols. Mulled wine.

0:43:31 > 0:43:33You can have it in here if you like. Alfie...

0:43:33 > 0:43:35Listen, if it's going to be our last day... A street party.

0:43:35 > 0:43:37We've just given Roxy half our takings

0:43:37 > 0:43:39and we've got no motor. Well, in for a penny.

0:43:39 > 0:43:42We'll go out in style, can't we? That's what I was hoping for.

0:43:42 > 0:43:45Sponsorship. Get everyone round the piano. A street party.

0:43:45 > 0:43:47I could do my Father Christmas. A street party!

0:43:47 > 0:43:48Something a little bit more sophisticated

0:43:48 > 0:43:50than people round here are used to.

0:43:50 > 0:43:52I hear Terry's very big on Christmas.

0:43:52 > 0:43:54Might be a bit tacky, but perhaps...

0:43:54 > 0:43:56Whoa, sweetheart, I can do sophistication, OK? Yeah?

0:43:56 > 0:44:00I can give you a hand. If you like? Great. Lovely.

0:44:08 > 0:44:10A beautiful woman drinking alone.

0:44:11 > 0:44:12Where?

0:44:12 > 0:44:14Never a good thing.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16Always leads to trouble.

0:44:16 > 0:44:17That's what I'm hoping.

0:44:17 > 0:44:19Well, then you can hope on, can't you?

0:44:23 > 0:44:26"Beautiful woman?" Is that what you think?

0:44:26 > 0:44:27I've seen worse.

0:44:29 > 0:44:31Come on, you're beautiful.

0:44:31 > 0:44:32Sexy. Good fun.

0:44:32 > 0:44:34Well, good, I'm glad someone thinks so.

0:44:35 > 0:44:38My door's always open to you, Roxy. Are you that desperate?

0:44:38 > 0:44:41Nah, I've just moved out of the B

0:44:41 > 0:44:42Got myself a flat.

0:44:42 > 0:44:44We could have a private little housewarming.

0:44:44 > 0:44:47I thought Phil told you!

0:44:47 > 0:44:48Told me what?

0:44:48 > 0:44:51He told you to stay away from us. Especially her.

0:44:51 > 0:44:53Phil doesn't own me. And neither do you...

0:44:53 > 0:44:55We're looking out for you. You weren't home yet...

0:44:55 > 0:44:58I'm perfectly capable of looking out for myself. Sitting here,

0:44:58 > 0:45:00all cosy, cosy with him dribbling all over you? So what,

0:45:00 > 0:45:03the guy fancies me! I'm not going sleep with him, am I?

0:45:03 > 0:45:05Some men happen to find me attractive.

0:45:05 > 0:45:09Unlike my husband, who left me on my wedding day!

0:45:09 > 0:45:10But this one?

0:45:11 > 0:45:13No, he's not my taste.

0:45:22 > 0:45:25Haroon isn't Kamil's friend.

0:45:26 > 0:45:28He is his friend...

0:45:28 > 0:45:31but he's not his friend.

0:45:34 > 0:45:36He's actually mum's second cousin.

0:45:39 > 0:45:42Who...she's been seeing a lot of...

0:45:44 > 0:45:45..at the house.

0:45:50 > 0:45:52They're thinking of getting engaged.

0:46:14 > 0:46:15Sorry.

0:46:30 > 0:46:32Bit of peace and quiet, eh?

0:46:33 > 0:46:34You'll get used to it.

0:46:34 > 0:46:37I know it can be a bit of a crazy house sometimes.

0:46:37 > 0:46:39Yeah, that's one word for it.

0:46:39 > 0:46:41What's that mean? Nothing.

0:46:44 > 0:46:46Have people been talking or something?

0:46:46 > 0:46:48No. About what?

0:46:48 > 0:46:51Listen, if you've got something to say then you can say it.

0:46:51 > 0:46:52I haven't.

0:46:53 > 0:46:55Everything all right with you two?

0:47:01 > 0:47:03PHONE RINGS

0:47:07 > 0:47:10Go on, take it. Just this once.

0:47:10 > 0:47:12It's just some boy.

0:47:16 > 0:47:18It's nothing.

0:47:18 > 0:47:19Is it school?

0:47:19 > 0:47:21No, he said it's not about school.

0:47:21 > 0:47:24You ain't the only one who finds school hard. Liam hates school.

0:47:24 > 0:47:27He's been bullied and everything. Is that why he joined a gang?

0:47:28 > 0:47:29What have you heard?

0:47:29 > 0:47:31What's it to you? Oi!

0:47:31 > 0:47:34He mugs people. Kids. No, he don't. No, I don't.

0:47:34 > 0:47:37And he got arrested. Knifed. Come on, everyone makes mistakes.

0:47:37 > 0:47:39Is that why you became a prostitute? That's enough!

0:47:39 > 0:47:42Who have you been talking to? She wasn't a prostitute.

0:47:42 > 0:47:43She used to go with all these guys.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45That is none of your business!

0:47:45 > 0:47:47They're all, this whole family...

0:47:47 > 0:47:49Are you going to let him talk about my kids like that?

0:47:49 > 0:47:52You've been to prison yourself for beating someone up. That's enough!

0:47:52 > 0:47:55You haven't got a clue what sort of family you've moved us all into?

0:47:55 > 0:47:57I do, actually. Because Bianca's told me everything.

0:47:57 > 0:48:00"A big sister to look up to," you said to Rosie.

0:48:00 > 0:48:02"And a brother, you'll love having a brother."

0:48:03 > 0:48:05I think these two are amazing.

0:48:05 > 0:48:08Everything they've been through and they've turned out like this.

0:48:08 > 0:48:11Yeah. And if you ever want to know about my life -

0:48:11 > 0:48:13then you go ahead and you just ask me.

0:48:14 > 0:48:16It's no secret round here anyway.

0:48:16 > 0:48:18Please don't make me out to be a bad person.

0:48:19 > 0:48:21I think you owe her an apology.

0:48:21 > 0:48:23In fact, I think you owe them all an apology.

0:48:26 > 0:48:27Terry Junior?

0:48:37 > 0:48:39Visitor for you.

0:48:48 > 0:48:49You better have a receipt.

0:48:51 > 0:48:53You know, for them brake pads that you went looking for?

0:48:57 > 0:49:00I ain't covering up for you any more. I just want answers, Jay.

0:49:00 > 0:49:01You ain't going to find 'em in here, are you?

0:49:11 > 0:49:13Listen, don't take this the wrong way...

0:49:13 > 0:49:17but a man leaves his things behind...

0:49:17 > 0:49:20he's obviously going somewhere he can't take 'em.

0:49:58 > 0:50:00I took the blue ones out.

0:50:03 > 0:50:05Next time, talk to me first.

0:50:05 > 0:50:06Why didn't you tell me you knew?

0:50:06 > 0:50:08Cos it's up to them, isn't it?

0:50:08 > 0:50:09Bianca knows you eat your toenails,

0:50:09 > 0:50:11but she don't blab it round the house.

0:50:11 > 0:50:15I've messed everything up, ain't I? You don't make it easy, Tel, no.

0:50:15 > 0:50:18Look, I'm still your dad... and you two still come first.

0:50:19 > 0:50:22Do we? Well, second to QPR, of course.

0:50:24 > 0:50:26Look, it can't be easy for that lot either, can it?

0:50:26 > 0:50:28You know, us all turning up. Stinking out the bathroom.

0:50:28 > 0:50:30Well, it weren't my choice.

0:50:30 > 0:50:31No, it was mine.

0:50:33 > 0:50:34And I'm with Bianca now.

0:50:36 > 0:50:37And I need you to accept it.

0:50:37 > 0:50:39To make an effort.

0:50:41 > 0:50:42I love you.

0:50:54 > 0:50:55Here you go.

0:50:55 > 0:50:58Go on, I've put more brandy in it. Urgh!

0:50:59 > 0:51:02Are you even allowed to drink eggnog this early in the month?

0:51:02 > 0:51:04Yeah. Don't think you can go opening your presents yet though.

0:51:07 > 0:51:09I loved him.

0:51:09 > 0:51:11Do you think I'd have let you stop talking to me if you didn't?

0:51:14 > 0:51:16I always knew it was Kat and not me, anyway.

0:51:19 > 0:51:21Still hurts though, don't it? Yup.

0:51:26 > 0:51:29Oi, we're a pair of tragics, aren't we?

0:51:29 > 0:51:33We are not tragics. Tragics wear really bad shoes.

0:51:33 > 0:51:34And bad shirts.

0:51:37 > 0:51:39You and Jack.

0:51:39 > 0:51:41I wasn't even there.

0:51:41 > 0:51:42It doesn't matter.

0:51:42 > 0:51:45Yes, it does. It does, because some bloke had a problem.

0:51:47 > 0:51:51No bloke is ever going to come between us ever again, OK? OK.

0:51:51 > 0:51:53Rox... What?

0:51:53 > 0:51:54Who's this?

0:51:57 > 0:51:58It's Pat.

0:51:58 > 0:52:00It's Pat. And wait, wait...

0:52:00 > 0:52:02Ron, please... No, who's this?

0:52:02 > 0:52:04Here, Roxanne.

0:52:06 > 0:52:10Aunt Sal! It's Aunt Sal. Put Aunt Sal on the Christmas tree.

0:52:10 > 0:52:12Go on.

0:52:14 > 0:52:15Oh, Aunt Sal...

0:52:19 > 0:52:21Rox. Yeah?

0:52:22 > 0:52:25Someone is still waiting for your autograph.

0:52:27 > 0:52:30Come on, one little squiggle, then you're free. Come on.

0:52:49 > 0:52:51It's only money. It's the least she deserves.

0:52:51 > 0:52:53Yeah, I know, but you and me, despite everything,

0:52:53 > 0:52:56we're going to have the best Christmas ever.

0:52:56 > 0:52:59Yeah, on our backsides in the snow?

0:52:59 > 0:53:01OK, here's the deal.

0:53:01 > 0:53:04?50 limit and I bet I get a better present than you.

0:53:04 > 0:53:05Yeah? Yes.

0:53:05 > 0:53:07You're on. OK.

0:53:07 > 0:53:10Listen, Kat, I've been thinking, all right...

0:53:13 > 0:53:16..about asking Janine... Ask Janine what?

0:53:16 > 0:53:18..about buying the Vic. No.

0:53:18 > 0:53:19Just hear me out a second.

0:53:19 > 0:53:22It just means we can stay here, we run it for her, that's all.

0:53:22 > 0:53:24Kat, it's no worse than Phil being the governor, is it?

0:53:24 > 0:53:25I'm not being her poodle.

0:53:34 > 0:53:36Hello, darling. Hey.

0:53:38 > 0:53:39So where's my money, then?

0:53:39 > 0:53:40What money?

0:53:40 > 0:53:43The juke box. You sold it, right? So where's my money?

0:53:43 > 0:53:45It's at home.

0:53:45 > 0:53:48Yeah? OK, well, how much did you get for it?

0:53:48 > 0:53:49I can't remember.

0:53:50 > 0:53:52Cos you didn't sell it, did you?

0:53:53 > 0:53:56You sent it back to him. Dexter...

0:53:56 > 0:53:58You see, I knew something didn't add up.

0:53:58 > 0:54:00Nan's telling me, things ain't always what they seem, Dex.

0:54:00 > 0:54:03Oh, really? Well, it's none of her business...

0:54:03 > 0:54:06Look, Mum, stop doing that. That's nothing to do with her.

0:54:06 > 0:54:08It's you.

0:54:08 > 0:54:09You're the one who begged him to stay,

0:54:09 > 0:54:11you're the one who begged me to get involved.

0:54:11 > 0:54:14I give him a kidney and then you just send my dad away.

0:54:15 > 0:54:18Look, Mum, please, if you're really not going to tell me what happened,

0:54:18 > 0:54:20just give me his address and I can go and talk to him myself.

0:54:20 > 0:54:22Put the boy out of his misery.

0:54:22 > 0:54:26Look, Sam is gone, yeah?

0:54:26 > 0:54:28And I don't want you seeing him.

0:54:52 > 0:54:55You said this wasn't a game.

0:54:55 > 0:54:57I know.

0:54:57 > 0:54:59And I'm not playing.

0:55:01 > 0:55:02Don't mess with my family.

0:55:05 > 0:55:07I won't.

0:55:09 > 0:55:10But don't mess with me.

0:55:17 > 0:55:18I can't do this, Lauren.

0:55:21 > 0:55:22I know.

0:55:24 > 0:55:26You and me...

0:55:28 > 0:55:29I can't...

0:55:31 > 0:55:32We can't do this any more.

0:55:48 > 0:55:49I know you know. I don't know!

0:55:49 > 0:55:51Come on, just tell me what's in the parcel!

0:55:51 > 0:55:53I don't know what's in the parcel.

0:55:53 > 0:55:54Fish and chips!

0:55:58 > 0:56:00He's going to apologise.

0:56:00 > 0:56:01No more trouble.

0:56:01 > 0:56:03Promise.

0:56:21 > 0:56:22Mum.

0:56:23 > 0:56:25It's me.

0:56:25 > 0:56:27I just think we should give her a bit of space, that's all.

0:56:27 > 0:56:29I don't want her doing anything stupid.

0:56:29 > 0:56:33It's just the annulment stuff. She'll be OK.

0:56:34 > 0:56:35I'll make sure of it.

0:57:28 > 0:57:29Oi!

0:57:32 > 0:57:33SHE SCREAMS

0:57:35 > 0:57:36HORN BEEPS

0:57:43 > 0:57:45Ha!

0:57:53 > 0:57:55Not what it looks like.

0:57:55 > 0:57:56And I ain't seen it anyway.

0:58:00 > 0:58:01That's it.

0:58:01 > 0:58:05You'll grow up to be Spider-Man, you're eating all your breakfast.

0:58:05 > 0:58:08He's been asking for Michael again.

0:58:08 > 0:58:11I hope that girl knows what she's done...

0:58:11 > 0:58:12All right, Kat?

0:58:16 > 0:58:19That heating's been breaking down since I went there!

0:58:19 > 0:58:22Yeah, well, you can ring them back if you don't believe me.

0:58:22 > 0:58:25You'll have planes landing on that roof.

0:58:25 > 0:58:28Yeah, or Martians sending back messages. See ya. See you later.

0:58:28 > 0:58:31Are you... Are you going to be out all day?

0:58:31 > 0:58:33It's not called OUT. It's called work.

0:58:33 > 0:58:37Well, don't just stand there. The people of Walford want their leggings, don't they?

0:58:37 > 0:58:39Little Tel!

0:58:39 > 0:58:41You take Christmas proper serious!

0:58:41 > 0:58:44Yes, this is Operation Rudolph, my good friend. TJ!

0:58:44 > 0:58:47You two better both be studying.

0:58:47 > 0:58:51You know, they've got some really lovely handmade bracelets on the market.

0:58:51 > 0:58:52Don't worry, he's not staying.

0:58:52 > 0:58:56Think they'd make a lovely Christmas present for someone. What would?

0:58:56 > 0:58:58Right, you two, if you get cold, no adjusting the thermostat, OK?

0:58:58 > 0:59:01Put another jumper on. See ya.

0:59:01 > 0:59:04You know they hate me even more now? Thanks.

0:59:04 > 0:59:06You told them what I said?

0:59:08 > 0:59:09Clever(!)

0:59:11 > 0:59:14You don't seriously think we're doing any work, do you?

0:59:21 > 0:59:22You're up early.

0:59:22 > 0:59:25I thought I'd make us all some breakfast.

0:59:25 > 0:59:26I've eaten.

0:59:34 > 0:59:37So where were you really? You fancy bacon?

0:59:37 > 0:59:40Rox, I got up with Amy so Phil wouldn't know.

0:59:40 > 0:59:43She was asleep when I left.

0:59:43 > 0:59:45And why wasn't your bed touched?

0:59:48 > 0:59:52OK, look, I went out for a drink last night.

0:59:52 > 0:59:54I couldn't sleep because of the whole form thing

0:59:54 > 0:59:58and I bumped into...Tina and we crashed at Billy's. That's it.

1:00:03 > 1:00:07So what was her name then? It weren't her name I was after.

1:00:07 > 1:00:09You're such a dirty little stop-out.

1:00:11 > 1:00:14You got 40 quid? Billy needs it for the electric.

1:00:20 > 1:00:22All right, Dex? So what time did you get in at then?

1:00:22 > 1:00:25Because you woke me up. You should know what time it was then.

1:00:25 > 1:00:28Don't take it out on her. Look, shut up, you. Stay out of my business.

1:00:28 > 1:00:29Let's go, Jay.

1:00:34 > 1:00:37You've got no idea, have you, what your mother gives up for you?

1:00:37 > 1:00:39Well, she don't give up my dad's number, that's for sure.

1:00:39 > 1:00:42She turned down a job yesterday. So? I didn't tell her to.

1:00:42 > 1:00:43Cos it meant leaving London.

1:00:43 > 1:00:45Look, Nan, she could move to the moon, I don't care.

1:00:45 > 1:00:49She's still your mother. Show some respect.

1:00:52 > 1:00:53Bad hair day?

1:00:56 > 1:00:57She's just a kid.

1:00:57 > 1:00:58A kid that killed someone.

1:00:58 > 1:01:01She's falling apart, Kat. I ain't ever seen her so fragile.

1:01:01 > 1:01:03And you want me to go and visit her?

1:01:03 > 1:01:04Have you lost it?

1:01:04 > 1:01:06Well, she won't see me no more, will she?

1:01:06 > 1:01:10After she found out about... she thinks that I'm against her.

1:01:10 > 1:01:14I just thought that, you know, maybe a friend could go there...

1:01:14 > 1:01:17What? Come on, Kat, you used to be friends, didn't you?

1:01:17 > 1:01:21You really can't take the hint, can you?

1:01:21 > 1:01:23It's coming up to a year since my dad died.

1:01:23 > 1:01:26I'm scared that she's going to do something stupid.

1:01:26 > 1:01:28I'm sure they'll keep an eye on her.

1:01:28 > 1:01:30If she goes down for this, she could get years.

1:01:30 > 1:01:34My mum won't talk to me no more - Alice is all I've got.

1:01:34 > 1:01:37Her solicitor reckons she's going to plead guilty to manslaughter.

1:01:43 > 1:01:47I want to talk Christmas parties. Thing is, Janine's a bit busy at the moment.

1:01:47 > 1:01:52We're going to have a big event Christmas Day - all the families, carols, mulled wine.

1:01:52 > 1:01:53How festive.

1:01:53 > 1:01:57And I was wondering - as a fellow local prominent businesswoman -

1:01:57 > 1:02:00if you might like to sponsor it? Yeah, well, I'll put an appointment in her diary, eh?

1:02:00 > 1:02:02I know, I will get all the presents.

1:02:02 > 1:02:05A great big giant pile, and put them underneath the tree?

1:02:05 > 1:02:06Perfect.

1:02:06 > 1:02:08Yeah, well, I'll set up a meeting.

1:02:08 > 1:02:11Always a pleasure. Love to help the little children.

1:02:11 > 1:02:12Come on, Janine.

1:02:15 > 1:02:18Oh. Big night, was it? You saying I look rough?

1:02:18 > 1:02:21No, no, just... Where did you go?

1:02:21 > 1:02:23I ain't got a clue. It's all a blur.

1:02:23 > 1:02:24Did you go with friends?

1:02:24 > 1:02:26Don't tell me you've got it on camera.

1:02:28 > 1:02:29All right?

1:02:29 > 1:02:30Hi.

1:02:30 > 1:02:32Um...

1:02:32 > 1:02:34Did I leave my phone at yours last night?

1:02:35 > 1:02:38I left in a hurry this morning, didn't I?

1:02:38 > 1:02:40I thought it was a present.

1:02:40 > 1:02:42To make up for all the drinks I bought you.

1:02:44 > 1:02:45You not going to work?

1:02:45 > 1:02:47Yeah. I'm just going.

1:02:52 > 1:02:55Lying to your sister. That is low.

1:02:58 > 1:03:00Want to come help me "pay the electric"?

1:03:02 > 1:03:03Yeah. Loads of people!

1:03:03 > 1:03:05Yeah, course you have.

1:03:05 > 1:03:07Well, no, not loads. I'm not like that, but...

1:03:07 > 1:03:11Who? I'm not telling you!

1:03:11 > 1:03:12Cos you're lying.

1:03:12 > 1:03:14Well, Liam for one.

1:03:14 > 1:03:16Liam Butcher?!

1:03:17 > 1:03:19I know, I was bored. So I slept with Liam.

1:03:21 > 1:03:22You did what?

1:03:30 > 1:03:31Yeah, that's looking wicked.

1:03:31 > 1:03:34And we ain't even started yet!

1:03:34 > 1:03:36Are you going to leave that one untied, though?

1:03:36 > 1:03:39Oh, mate. Stick your foot there.

1:03:41 > 1:03:42Just to go like that.

1:03:43 > 1:03:45No offence, Dex, your dad is an idiot.

1:03:45 > 1:03:48How do you just get up and vanish, though? Just like that.

1:03:48 > 1:03:50And the thing is I don't even know why they broke up.

1:03:50 > 1:03:54And you give him a kidney and everything.

1:03:54 > 1:03:56Hey. You're special, you know.

1:03:56 > 1:03:58What do you mean by "special"?

1:03:58 > 1:04:00I just mean the way you're holding it all together.

1:04:00 > 1:04:03Just got remember to keep your chin up, yeah?

1:04:03 > 1:04:04This you collecting brake pads again, is it?

1:04:04 > 1:04:06This is a private conversation.

1:04:06 > 1:04:09Not on my time, it ain't. All right, Phil, it's my fault. I'm sorry.

1:04:09 > 1:04:13You know, if you're going to cover for someone, make sure it's someone who's worth it, will ya?

1:04:22 > 1:04:24Oh, wasted it.

1:04:25 > 1:04:28Excuse me. Excuse me. Hello?

1:04:28 > 1:04:31My friend over here, she wants to help you hand out mince pies.

1:04:31 > 1:04:33Yeah. Love a bit of mulled wine, me.

1:04:33 > 1:04:36She's not really the kind of person we're looking for.

1:04:36 > 1:04:39She's done catering. She's got silver service.

1:04:39 > 1:04:42Yeah. My handbag's full of it. If you want to help with the clear up?

1:04:42 > 1:04:45Oh. I think your head's got stuck somewhere it shouldn't be.

1:04:48 > 1:04:50Oh, Kat, sweetheart, remember, ?50 limit.

1:04:50 > 1:04:52I'm going to the prison. You what?

1:04:52 > 1:04:55She's pleading guilty. And I want to know why. Why now?

1:05:00 > 1:05:03There you are. You... I'm going to make sure you go to prison for this. Right. Liam.

1:05:03 > 1:05:06She is 15! She's too young to give her consent!

1:05:06 > 1:05:08Hang on, we don't even know if he's done anything yet!

1:05:08 > 1:05:11Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's just take it down a notch, eh?

1:05:11 > 1:05:12Have you been sleeping with Cindy?

1:05:12 > 1:05:14No!

1:05:14 > 1:05:15Well, there's your answer.

1:05:15 > 1:05:19Are you calling me a liar? No, I'm calling you a liar, Ian. What are you going to do about it?

1:05:19 > 1:05:21How do you know this? She was telling your son!

1:05:21 > 1:05:23I don't know why you're making such a big thing about it.

1:05:23 > 1:05:25Because you're 15!

1:05:26 > 1:05:27Tell them!

1:05:30 > 1:05:32Fine. I... I made it up.

1:05:32 > 1:05:34Why would you do that?!

1:05:34 > 1:05:37Because she fancies him. I so don't.

1:05:37 > 1:05:39Right. So, you going to apologise?

1:05:40 > 1:05:42Home. You can't just come in here... Now!

1:05:44 > 1:05:45You all right?

1:05:46 > 1:05:48Now some of us have got work to do.

1:05:50 > 1:05:51I swear that wasn't me.

1:05:53 > 1:05:56Come on, then, give us a hand.

1:05:59 > 1:06:03Shirley, you don't always have to say yes to her, you know.

1:06:03 > 1:06:05Next time just send her home.

1:06:07 > 1:06:09Whatever you say. Your sister - she told me

1:06:09 > 1:06:11Roxy stayed with you lot at Billy's last night.

1:06:14 > 1:06:17She was with him, wasn't she? She was with Carl.

1:06:23 > 1:06:26Sometimes you are worse than your mother! I never asked you to go round there!

1:06:26 > 1:06:28You told me you'd slept with Liam! Ian!

1:06:28 > 1:06:30DOOR SHUTS

1:06:30 > 1:06:32Just seen Bianca.

1:06:32 > 1:06:34Yeah. Bet she's loving it, ain't she?

1:06:34 > 1:06:36I think you should go.

1:06:38 > 1:06:39I'll be in the pub.

1:06:46 > 1:06:49It's never easy, is it? Growing up.

1:06:49 > 1:06:55You know, if you...did... with Liam,

1:06:55 > 1:06:57you can always talk to me, you know.

1:07:00 > 1:07:02Thanks. But I didn't. I lied.

1:07:15 > 1:07:18He's 21! Follow your own dreams for once.

1:07:19 > 1:07:21Like you did?

1:07:21 > 1:07:22That's low.

1:07:22 > 1:07:25I can't abandon my kid. Real parenting doesn't work like that.

1:07:25 > 1:07:27He ain't a kid any more.

1:07:27 > 1:07:29Tell him the truth and take the job.

1:07:29 > 1:07:31I can't.

1:07:31 > 1:07:33So you're going to put your own life on hold?

1:07:33 > 1:07:39And wrap him in cotton wool? You've spent years working towards this.

1:07:39 > 1:07:41Take the job.

1:07:45 > 1:07:49Yeah, sorry about that. Half past five, I told him.

1:07:49 > 1:07:52And it'll be done at half past five. Yeah, looks like it an' all.

1:07:52 > 1:07:56If I say it's going to be done, it'll be done. Phil, he's been going through a bit of a hard time...

1:07:56 > 1:07:59Yeah, yeah, really hard time. All over Lola earlier, weren't you?

1:07:59 > 1:08:01You're a funny man, Phil. I don't want you anywhere near her.

1:08:01 > 1:08:05I'll go wherever I want. What you going to do? You need to get a grip. Just cos Daddy left you.

1:08:05 > 1:08:09Poor little Dexter... Don't talk about my dad like that. All I hear about is your dad. Dad, Dad, Dad.

1:08:12 > 1:08:14Well done. You all right, mate?

1:08:18 > 1:08:20You all right?

1:08:20 > 1:08:24Nice one. Well, go on, you're sacked. Go on, you're fired. Yeah well, I quit, innit?

1:08:24 > 1:08:27You still owe me nine grand. What are you going to do, Phil? Sue me.

1:08:33 > 1:08:36If you had to do one, would you...? Sleep with a gorilla?

1:08:36 > 1:08:38It's my turn! And no!

1:08:38 > 1:08:39Or a chimpanzee?

1:08:39 > 1:08:42Well, I slept with Alfie, didn't I? But no, I wouldn't!

1:08:42 > 1:08:44Not even if he promised not to tell his mates? No.

1:08:47 > 1:08:49Whooo!

1:08:49 > 1:08:52And that's about as much as you are ever going to get!

1:08:52 > 1:08:54What is the matter with you, put them away!

1:08:54 > 1:08:56Just cos mine don't drag on the floor.

1:08:58 > 1:08:59Get your backside home.

1:09:00 > 1:09:03I'm having fun. That money was for Billy's electric!

1:09:03 > 1:09:05Rox, it's not even four o'clock!

1:09:05 > 1:09:07What is this - boring big sister day or something?

1:09:07 > 1:09:10What is Amy supposed to do, just walk herself back from nursery?

1:09:10 > 1:09:12Come on, come home.

1:09:12 > 1:09:13Get off.

1:09:17 > 1:09:20I reckon, slip her a few more drinks...

1:09:23 > 1:09:24DOOR OPENS, KEYS JANGLE

1:09:43 > 1:09:47It'll be great. You know, you, me, Kat, Scarlett Tommy, all running round together.

1:09:47 > 1:09:49Last time I tried to get this place I ended up

1:09:49 > 1:09:51out in the snow on my own.

1:09:51 > 1:09:55Yeah, I know, I know, but this would be different. We do all the hard work. You take the money.

1:09:55 > 1:09:58That's because I would have spent all the money.

1:09:58 > 1:10:02Kat's having a bit of a, you know, a tough time.

1:10:02 > 1:10:05What with Christmas coming up. And, you know, of course, Michael.

1:10:06 > 1:10:09Using my own husband's death to try and persuade me

1:10:09 > 1:10:11to dig you out of a hole?

1:10:11 > 1:10:12That's cheap, Alfie.

1:10:12 > 1:10:16I know, I know, I know. Just think about it, yeah?

1:10:21 > 1:10:23I'm not stupid, you know.

1:10:23 > 1:10:25I didn't say you were stupid.

1:10:25 > 1:10:29I know, Roxy. I know.

1:10:32 > 1:10:33Who told you?

1:10:33 > 1:10:35He is bad news.

1:10:35 > 1:10:36It doesn't concern you.

1:10:36 > 1:10:39Of course it concerns me, you're my sister. No, it doesn't.

1:10:39 > 1:10:43What do you think Phil is going to say? He's not going to say anything cos he's not going to know.

1:10:43 > 1:10:44What are you doing?

1:10:44 > 1:10:48What are you doing, just throwing yourself at a guy like that for?

1:10:48 > 1:10:49I'm not throwing myself at anyone!

1:10:51 > 1:10:54You - you are NOT seeing him again.

1:10:57 > 1:11:00I can do what I want!

1:11:05 > 1:11:07This is us.

1:11:07 > 1:11:10No, it is not! This is me.

1:11:10 > 1:11:13This is me.

1:11:14 > 1:11:16It's not like it used to be, all right?

1:11:16 > 1:11:19I am not a kid. You can't just tell me what to do.

1:11:19 > 1:11:22Stop behaving like a kid, then, you little brat.

1:11:24 > 1:11:28You weren't here, Ronnie. I am my own woman.

1:11:28 > 1:11:32And you need to get used to it.

1:11:38 > 1:11:42He didn't love you. Was that it?

1:11:43 > 1:11:45He said we were for ever.

1:11:47 > 1:11:49Me, him and Scarlett could be a family.

1:11:50 > 1:11:52And you believed him?

1:11:54 > 1:11:57I love him and he loved me.

1:11:57 > 1:11:59Michael didn't love anyone. He didn't know how to.

1:12:00 > 1:12:02He loved Scarlett.

1:12:04 > 1:12:06I thought you was jealous of Janine, but you wasn't.

1:12:06 > 1:12:08You was jealous of a baby. No!

1:12:08 > 1:12:13You couldn't bear the thought of him wanting her and not you.

1:12:13 > 1:12:20No. He wanted me to take Scarlett from Janine.

1:12:20 > 1:12:23And then I realised he wanted me to murder Janine.

1:12:23 > 1:12:24And I couldn't.

1:12:24 > 1:12:29Right. Michael wanted you to kill Janine.

1:12:32 > 1:12:37He'd look at me and say things - and I'd believe him.

1:12:37 > 1:12:39And that's why you killed him?

1:12:41 > 1:12:45He was trying to get rid of Janine and you thought he'd pin it on you?

1:12:45 > 1:12:47I don't know, Kat. I don't know.

1:12:47 > 1:12:49You're not playing me, Alice. Not like you're playing Joey.

1:13:52 > 1:13:53No. That ain't love. You don't know what love is.

1:13:53 > 1:13:54Yes, I do.

1:13:54 > 1:13:57You couldn't stand the fact he didn't want you.

1:13:59 > 1:14:00So you took a knife.

1:14:02 > 1:14:04You took a knife and you stabbed him.

1:14:04 > 1:14:06You walked out and left him to die.

1:14:15 > 1:14:17Can I have a look at that one?

1:14:21 > 1:14:23And they're handmade? All handmade, yeah.

1:14:23 > 1:14:26It's for a Christmas present. A lovely present.

1:14:26 > 1:14:28Sorry, I've only got fifties.

1:14:33 > 1:14:35I don't know! You were there!

1:14:37 > 1:14:38He was going for Janine.

1:14:38 > 1:14:41He was strangling her and I thought I was defending her.

1:14:41 > 1:14:43But I didn't want him to die.

1:14:43 > 1:14:45So you do remember?

1:14:45 > 1:14:46No. Janine does.

1:14:48 > 1:14:51In my head - it's such a mess.

1:14:53 > 1:14:55She came here and she told me what happened.

1:14:55 > 1:14:58I stabbed him. I killed him. She told you that?

1:14:59 > 1:15:05She...she said that I did it. But I don't know.

1:15:07 > 1:15:09I had the knife - you said it.

1:15:09 > 1:15:10You said it just now.

1:15:10 > 1:15:14I stabbed him and then - and then I left him.

1:15:15 > 1:15:17I walked out and left him to die.

1:15:21 > 1:15:23I'm so sorry.

1:15:26 > 1:15:27I'm so sorry, Kat.

1:15:37 > 1:15:38DOOR SHUTS

1:15:40 > 1:15:42That roof's looking proper mad! Is that my...?

1:15:42 > 1:15:44No!

1:15:46 > 1:15:50Are you all right now? You know, after...? Listen.

1:15:50 > 1:15:56If you do ever - you know, decide to do anything in that area.

1:15:56 > 1:15:59Well, first of all, you know, just pop a little something on it, yeah?

1:15:59 > 1:16:02And then secondly - make sure she's over 16.

1:16:02 > 1:16:04All right, Mum. Do you mind?

1:16:04 > 1:16:08DOOR SHUTS Right. You can come outside now. No. Final parcel?

1:16:08 > 1:16:14Ah. final parcel! Give me five minutes, all right?

1:16:14 > 1:16:15Five.

1:16:17 > 1:16:19Sorry.

1:16:21 > 1:16:23I tell you, I've had it with him. You don't mean that.

1:16:23 > 1:16:27Don't I? No, he's just angry. And upset.

1:16:27 > 1:16:28You think I don't know that?

1:16:28 > 1:16:31And he's just hitting out at anyone that he knows can take it.

1:16:31 > 1:16:34Yeah, well, maybe I've had enough of taking it.

1:16:34 > 1:16:38Right now - despite what he's said or done - he just needs a friend.

1:16:52 > 1:16:53You want some wings?

1:16:54 > 1:16:57Right, you ready for this? You have lost it.

1:16:57 > 1:17:00Go on, Tel. Put the first ones. There we go.

1:17:02 > 1:17:04And the next ones!

1:17:04 > 1:17:05CHEERING

1:17:05 > 1:17:06And again, Tel.

1:17:08 > 1:17:09And again.

1:17:09 > 1:17:12I hope you're going to pay for the electric. Where's my parcel?

1:17:12 > 1:17:13Stop being impatient.

1:17:13 > 1:17:16And here we go, then. Here's the big finale.

1:17:16 > 1:17:17ALL LAUGH

1:17:20 > 1:17:23He's ginger! You made Father Christmas ginger!

1:17:34 > 1:17:36Not interrupting, am I?

1:17:39 > 1:17:43You know what? I dunno what I'd do, either, if my pops just got up and left.

1:17:43 > 1:17:46I mean, I searched for my family my whole life

1:17:46 > 1:17:49and I never had a dad but a grandad. Same thing.

1:17:49 > 1:17:50Yeah, I know.

1:17:50 > 1:17:53But I can't imagine what it would be like if he just got up

1:17:53 > 1:17:55and left me now, like your dad...

1:17:57 > 1:17:59Dex, I'm sorry.

1:17:59 > 1:18:02I'm just trying to say that I get it, all right?

1:18:02 > 1:18:05You're going to be all right. Trust me.

1:18:13 > 1:18:16Dexter, what are you doing?! I thought we were...

1:18:16 > 1:18:18Dexter, I don't fancy you. I'm with...

1:18:18 > 1:18:20You're with who?

1:18:20 > 1:18:21I'm with Peter.

1:18:21 > 1:18:23You're with Peter? Yes. Peter!

1:18:23 > 1:18:27Lola, don't you understand - you're the only one here. You're the only who understands me.

1:18:27 > 1:18:30Well, you obviously don't understand me, do you? But I do.

1:18:30 > 1:18:34Lola, listen, I really, really like you. Dexter, that's sweet, all right?

1:18:34 > 1:18:38But I see you more like a brother and that's it. I don't fancy you.

1:18:39 > 1:18:41Dex, I didn't mean it like that,

1:18:41 > 1:18:44I just meant... It's all right, I see. Dexter! Dex!

1:18:54 > 1:18:57You all right, sweetheart. Janine's in, in principle!

1:18:57 > 1:18:59I said I'd see if the numbers add up.

1:18:59 > 1:19:01That's very generous of you.

1:19:01 > 1:19:04You try and spread a bit of Christmas cheer.

1:19:04 > 1:19:08Well, if you don't want Janine to take a look... No, course we do. We'll see you tomorrow, yeah?

1:19:08 > 1:19:09Put a spring in it, Billy.

1:19:09 > 1:19:11See you later, mate. See ya.

1:19:11 > 1:19:15She's not interested in buying this place for us.

1:19:15 > 1:19:18Come on, are you doubting the Moon magic, are you? I don't trust her.

1:19:32 > 1:19:35Stay away from Roxy.

1:19:35 > 1:19:38I don't see Roxy anywhere, do you?

1:19:38 > 1:19:39You really don't want to push me.

1:19:39 > 1:19:41I hope that's not a threat.

1:19:41 > 1:19:43Well, you can hope what you like.

1:19:43 > 1:19:46Go and ask Shirley what happens to people when they threaten me.

1:19:52 > 1:19:57Don't go near my sister. Don't call her. Don't speak to her.

1:19:57 > 1:19:59Don't even look at her.

1:19:59 > 1:20:02You've got delusions of grandeur, do you know that?

1:20:02 > 1:20:04Who do you think you are? Phil Mitchell in a pair of high heels?

1:20:04 > 1:20:06Back off.

1:20:15 > 1:20:19TJ's told me a few things. And I think it's best if the kids come and live with me.

1:20:19 > 1:20:23What you going to do, stick them in the overhead locker? I've got a cab waiting.

1:20:23 > 1:20:27Nikki, there's nothing wrong with my family. I never said there was anything wrong with it,

1:20:27 > 1:20:29I just think the kids need a bit of stability.

1:20:29 > 1:20:31What's that - you jetting off week after week?

1:20:31 > 1:20:35I'm going to see if they'll put me on check-in, let me stay in London, at least for a few months.

1:20:35 > 1:20:37You won't last five minutes.

1:20:37 > 1:20:38Why don't we ask the kids?

1:20:41 > 1:20:42Go on, darling.

1:20:42 > 1:20:43Tell them what you told me.

1:20:45 > 1:20:46I didn't mean it, did I?

1:20:49 > 1:20:50You said on the phone that...

1:20:50 > 1:20:52I've never had any brothers.

1:20:52 > 1:20:54And I was thinking that I might teach Morgan guitar

1:20:54 > 1:20:57if he wants. I shouldn't have told you.

1:20:57 > 1:20:59She's your mum. And it's all right.

1:20:59 > 1:21:02And I'm sure Morgan would love that.

1:21:02 > 1:21:05I'm glad you came, anyway, because I was going to call you.

1:21:05 > 1:21:09I'm surprised you remember my number. The kids are having Christmas here this year.

1:21:09 > 1:21:11We're going to be all together. Just one happy family.

1:21:15 > 1:21:18Shall we all go look at the lights? Yeah, come on, sunshine.

1:21:22 > 1:21:24I'll see you next year, then.

1:21:27 > 1:21:28I'll see you at Christmas.

1:21:31 > 1:21:33What's this? What's this?

1:21:33 > 1:21:34DOOR SHUTS

1:21:34 > 1:21:36Go and get it.

1:21:36 > 1:21:38Good boy. Good boy.

1:21:42 > 1:21:43You all right?

1:21:43 > 1:21:46What do you mean, am I all right? Why shouldn't I be? Look, all right, we get it.

1:21:46 > 1:21:49How hard this must be for you... Abs, just shut up, yeah?

1:21:49 > 1:21:53Sort out your own perfect little relationship before you start giving me advice.

1:21:53 > 1:21:55Come on, Abs. What do you mean? He cheated on you!

1:21:55 > 1:21:57Right, is that meant to be funny?

1:21:57 > 1:22:00You're sick, man. Do you remember that holiday we went on.

1:22:00 > 1:22:01That girl Kitty.

1:22:01 > 1:22:03Yeah, that's right. He did.

1:22:03 > 1:22:04He cheated on you.

1:22:20 > 1:22:21So?

1:22:21 > 1:22:23She's a mess, ain't she?

1:22:23 > 1:22:24Yeah.

1:22:24 > 1:22:27I keep thinking, what if it's like Jean? No-one believing her.

1:22:27 > 1:22:30People pointing the finger in the wrong place?

1:22:30 > 1:22:32I know we can get her out, Kat.

1:22:33 > 1:22:36But she's not Jean, is she? Cos Jean did nothing.

1:22:36 > 1:22:39Alice is a lying cow that killed Michael.

1:22:39 > 1:22:42And if you believe different - you're as mad as she is.

1:22:44 > 1:22:47Yeah, I want two adult tickets and one child ticket to Ibiza.

1:22:50 > 1:22:51For the first of January.

1:22:53 > 1:22:54No. It's one-way.

1:22:58 > 1:23:01You seen a blue folder? One sec. Kids! Breakfast!

1:23:01 > 1:23:02It's important, Bianca!

1:23:02 > 1:23:06Mum. Oh, don't tell me there's no hot water again.

1:23:06 > 1:23:08No. No, it's fine. Go to work.

1:23:11 > 1:23:14Blue folder - I only put it down five minutes ago.

1:23:14 > 1:23:15Here it is.

1:23:15 > 1:23:18Oh, great. It's like a black hole in here.

1:23:20 > 1:23:25This is a business plan that's going to transform this family's future.

1:23:25 > 1:23:27All right. Georgie's Gold, or East is East?

1:23:27 > 1:23:30Is there one there called A Mug And His Money Are Easily Parted?

1:23:30 > 1:23:33It's Friday 13th, innit? I'm always up to my ears in bad luck

1:23:33 > 1:23:36so I thought today would be the day I change that.

1:23:36 > 1:23:37Well, I like to make my own luck.

1:23:40 > 1:23:43See you later, Carol. See you.

1:23:51 > 1:23:56Ah! Look at you two gorgeous creatures.

1:23:56 > 1:23:59If there are two more beautiful women walking this planet I ain't seen them.

1:23:59 > 1:24:02Ignore him, B. He's up to something when he's like this.

1:24:02 > 1:24:04No, no, no, I just think, you know,

1:24:04 > 1:24:07maybe a little something might just slightly improve...

1:24:07 > 1:24:10Look at that! Are you having a laugh?

1:24:10 > 1:24:13You're as bad as Terry. You need therapy, the pair of ya.

1:24:13 > 1:24:15Girls, please! The kids look at me as Santa round here,

1:24:15 > 1:24:19what are they going to think if they see Santa with no elves? It's obvious, innit?

1:24:19 > 1:24:21They're in the North Pole making presents.

1:24:21 > 1:24:24Come on. Do it for Christmas. Do it for the little children.

1:24:24 > 1:24:28Oh, give it here. Good girl! Look at that!

1:24:28 > 1:24:31You won't get very far in the North Pole in them boots, will ya?

1:24:31 > 1:24:34Wahey! Beautiful!

1:24:34 > 1:24:38I must say, Kat, I've never seen you look more attractive.

1:24:38 > 1:24:41Shut up! See you later!

1:24:41 > 1:24:46Where's your costume, Mr Grinch? Oi, don't ignore me.

1:24:46 > 1:24:50Me and Alfie are keeping that pub afloat, you should be more grateful. Go away, Kat!

1:24:50 > 1:24:52You ain't had a sniff of a real buyer, have you?

1:24:52 > 1:24:54Who buys a pub at Christmas?

1:25:02 > 1:25:05Yeah, I'll be with you in a sec. Take your time, why don't you?

1:25:05 > 1:25:07Sorry, time just ran away from me.

1:25:07 > 1:25:11You're going to have to cover the afternoon shift as well, Marie's called in with the flu. I can't.

1:25:11 > 1:25:13There's no such word as "can't" when you work for me.

1:25:13 > 1:25:17OK? Customers and counter are there. See you in eight hours.

1:25:17 > 1:25:20Carol, coffee, take away, please.

1:25:20 > 1:25:22Yeah, all right, yeah.

1:25:22 > 1:25:25Not even no ketchup - what sort of apology breakfast is this?

1:25:25 > 1:25:27Why don't you just stop your noise

1:25:27 > 1:25:29and make the tea, instead of stressing out my life, yeah?

1:25:29 > 1:25:33MOBILE RINGS

1:25:35 > 1:25:38Abi's phone's been ringing all morning.

1:25:38 > 1:25:41Yeah, well, she obviously doesn't want to talk to him.

1:25:43 > 1:25:44Morning.

1:25:44 > 1:25:49Morning. Here you go, cuz, I know it's not a lot but...

1:25:49 > 1:25:52I just wanted to say sorry.

1:25:52 > 1:25:56I shouldn't have let you find out like that and I shouldn't have lied.

1:25:56 > 1:26:01I should've just listened to Lola, she wanted to... What? Oh, my God.

1:26:01 > 1:26:03Lola knew?!

1:26:05 > 1:26:08Abs, listen... Come on, Abs, let me just...

1:26:11 > 1:26:13Do me a favour.

1:26:13 > 1:26:17If ever we fall out - just don't try and apologise.

1:26:25 > 1:26:28All right. Knocked off for Christmas already, have ya?

1:26:28 > 1:26:31Far from it, actually. Ta. Here you are.

1:26:31 > 1:26:35What's this? A business plan. Vintage motors.

1:26:35 > 1:26:38Not the whole fleet - just enough to give us a speciality.

1:26:38 > 1:26:39Build up a reputation.

1:26:39 > 1:26:41Oh, yeah? For what?

1:26:41 > 1:26:43Flogging motors no sane person wants to drive any more?

1:26:43 > 1:26:46Max, used cars are ten a penny round here, ain't they?

1:26:46 > 1:26:48We need to find a niche in the market,

1:26:48 > 1:26:52something that gets the punters coming in from all over. No, all right? Forget about it.

1:26:52 > 1:26:54A few clapped out old Fiestas and a tired old sign.

1:26:54 > 1:26:56What does that say? It says all it needs to say.

1:26:56 > 1:26:59It says we ain't got any ambition beyond that forecourt.

1:26:59 > 1:27:01When it says Wicks up on that sign you can have a bit of ambition.

1:27:01 > 1:27:04Till then, do your job, and keep your mouth shut.

1:27:04 > 1:27:06Cheers. Cheers.

1:27:08 > 1:27:11I thought you'd be at the club.

1:27:11 > 1:27:13No. Sharon can manage.

1:27:13 > 1:27:16Want me to pick up Amy later from school?

1:27:16 > 1:27:18Yeah. Great.

1:27:18 > 1:27:20No problem.

1:27:20 > 1:27:21Do us one of them, will ya?

1:27:21 > 1:27:25Oh, listen, some bloke called for you earlier. Said he couldn't get through on your mobile.

1:27:25 > 1:27:28About the Vic? You know who those blokes are, don't you?

1:27:28 > 1:27:29I checked them out online.

1:27:29 > 1:27:33They're trying to buy up pubs all over the East End, turning them into flats, making a packet.

1:27:33 > 1:27:35Forget the tea, yeah?

1:27:41 > 1:27:43Ho-ho-ho!

1:27:45 > 1:27:47Because it's Christmas, and... Yeah, we get it.

1:27:47 > 1:27:49You know you look like a right prat in that get up?

1:27:49 > 1:27:53That's your opinion. Fortunately my clients don't seem to agree.

1:27:53 > 1:27:55Since when does a postie have "clients"? He means letter boxes.

1:27:55 > 1:27:57I mean the people in my community

1:27:57 > 1:28:01who value my services enough to tip me at Christmas.

1:28:01 > 1:28:03You got that lot for putting junk mail through people's doors?

1:28:03 > 1:28:05Yeah, that's right.

1:28:05 > 1:28:07Course, if I walked round with a face like a wet fish

1:28:07 > 1:28:09it might be a different story.

1:28:12 > 1:28:13What's he trying to say?

1:28:13 > 1:28:16Stick a smile on it, Shirl. You might reap the benefits.

1:28:18 > 1:28:21Janine. Janine!

1:28:21 > 1:28:23Look, whatever it is, I don't have time.

1:28:23 > 1:28:25Five minutes.

1:28:25 > 1:28:27Two minutes then.

1:28:27 > 1:28:28Either that's the stench of desperation

1:28:28 > 1:28:32or you really need to change your aftershave. I want to buy the car lot.

1:28:32 > 1:28:34Max don't have the vision to see past next Tuesday.

1:28:34 > 1:28:37If I ain't in charge, Janine, I ain't going anywhere fast.

1:28:37 > 1:28:39And you haven't got two farthings to rub together.

1:28:39 > 1:28:42And - let me guess - that's where I come in?

1:28:42 > 1:28:45I can make money. You know that. This could be a win-win situation for both of us.

1:28:45 > 1:28:47If you're so good at making money, why are you sleeping

1:28:47 > 1:28:51on your ex's couch and truffling round the Square for scraps?

1:28:51 > 1:28:53Read this.

1:29:00 > 1:29:03All right, Tel? Bit early for you, innit, mate?

1:29:03 > 1:29:04Friday the 13th, mate.

1:29:04 > 1:29:07I do not work Friday the 13th, because I am a bad luck magnet,

1:29:07 > 1:29:10and there is not any chance of me risking getting in a cab.

1:29:10 > 1:29:11All right!

1:29:11 > 1:29:13So I thought today might be different,

1:29:13 > 1:29:14so went down the bookies.

1:29:14 > 1:29:16Twenty quid down the drain.

1:29:16 > 1:29:18So I thought the best thing was

1:29:18 > 1:29:20to have the safety of your lovely boozer

1:29:20 > 1:29:24with the paper and a pint of your finest. Let's face it, nothing can happen to me in here, can it?

1:29:24 > 1:29:27Safe as houses. This bad luck ain't going to follow you all the way to Christmas.

1:29:27 > 1:29:32Not unless I've got to go to my sister's with my mum and my old man. Believe me, that ain't happening.

1:29:32 > 1:29:35Trace, sort out Terry for me, darling.

1:29:35 > 1:29:38Pint, please, Alfie. And a double vodka tonic for the lady.

1:29:38 > 1:29:40I'll be back in a minute.

1:29:44 > 1:29:48Rox, listen, I know it's none of my business

1:29:48 > 1:29:50but I'm not hearing good things about him.

1:29:50 > 1:29:51You're going to miss it, aren't you?

1:29:51 > 1:29:53Sticking your oar in where it don't belong

1:29:53 > 1:29:56when this place goes to the highest bidder.

1:29:56 > 1:30:00Yeah. Phil had a call earlier from some property developers.

1:30:00 > 1:30:04Apparently they want to turn this place into flats.

1:30:13 > 1:30:16Ian got you running this place on your own these days?

1:30:16 > 1:30:18Yeah. Looks that way. See you later, Carol. See you.

1:30:18 > 1:30:20What're you doing here?

1:30:20 > 1:30:22I thought you were going to go see Alice?

1:30:22 > 1:30:24I've had a nightmare of a morning.

1:30:24 > 1:30:28You can't back out now, Carol. You know she won't see me. I need you to go there and talk to her.

1:30:28 > 1:30:33I think after everything that's happened you owe me this, don't you? I'm sorry. I can't. Not today.

1:30:33 > 1:30:35OK. We'll just leave her to rot then, yeah?

1:30:42 > 1:30:44David, when you get a minute we've got a couple of punters out there.

1:30:44 > 1:30:46Need me to reel them in, do you, Max?

1:30:46 > 1:30:50Yeah. I keep forgetting you're the best salesman ever to walk the Earth.

1:30:50 > 1:30:53Let's just say I've got the gift of bringing people round

1:30:53 > 1:30:54to my way of thinking.

1:31:00 > 1:31:03Don't eat yellow snow.

1:31:03 > 1:31:06I hope Lexi grows up to get your looks and not your sense of humour.

1:31:06 > 1:31:08Shirl, you're not going to get tips like that.

1:31:08 > 1:31:11You're not exactly filled with the Christmas spirit.

1:31:11 > 1:31:13Except for when you've been down the Vic for a few hours...

1:31:13 > 1:31:15No, you can't have a bag.

1:31:20 > 1:31:23Abi, erm...I heard what happened.

1:31:25 > 1:31:27Just that, thanks.

1:31:27 > 1:31:3270p. Ho-ho-ho(!)

1:31:32 > 1:31:35Abi, I haven't... Oh, what, Lola?!

1:31:35 > 1:31:38What? You want to ask me how I'm doing?

1:31:38 > 1:31:39Do the whole best friend thing?

1:31:39 > 1:31:42Lie to my face, like you've been doing for months?

1:31:42 > 1:31:46Look, Abi, it wasn't like that... Abi, I'm sorry!

1:31:51 > 1:31:53I promised Kat I'd help her pack up the stall

1:31:53 > 1:31:55so you can handle dinner tonight, yeah? See you later.

1:31:55 > 1:31:57Bianca, wait!

1:32:03 > 1:32:05Carol, you can't put stuff down there, it's unhygienic!

1:32:05 > 1:32:07Would you have me grow another set of arms?

1:32:07 > 1:32:10Just put a bit of effort in. I don't want to work all day, I'm done in.

1:32:10 > 1:32:12I want to leave at three o'clock at the latest.

1:32:12 > 1:32:14All right, mate.

1:32:14 > 1:32:16What's he done?!

1:32:16 > 1:32:19Ian, do you hear me? Three o'clock!

1:32:19 > 1:32:20All right.

1:32:20 > 1:32:23Do us a couple of coffees for me and Max, will ya? Take away?

1:32:23 > 1:32:25Yeah. You all right, Carol?

1:32:25 > 1:32:28I've been stuck in here all day, I've had to let Alice down

1:32:28 > 1:32:30and now Bianca wants me to get the kids' tea.

1:32:30 > 1:32:32Well, that's something I can help with.

1:32:32 > 1:32:33It's fine. I can manage.

1:32:33 > 1:32:35Carol, I've just flogged a Fiesta with no gearbox,

1:32:35 > 1:32:38I'm sure I can manage a few fish fingers.

1:32:38 > 1:32:40D'you mind? Sorry. Ta.

1:32:41 > 1:32:44So, I'll have a nice hot meal waiting for you tonight.

1:32:44 > 1:32:46With any luck we'll have something to celebrate.

1:32:46 > 1:32:48Ta-ra.

1:32:49 > 1:32:51No, no, no, I don't want to hear it.

1:32:51 > 1:32:53From now on, you don't say nothing to anyone.

1:32:53 > 1:32:54Stay away from me, from Abi...

1:32:54 > 1:32:56I was trying to help. You know I talk too much...

1:32:56 > 1:32:59Does this look like a social club to you? Sling your hook.

1:33:04 > 1:33:06Is it true?

1:33:06 > 1:33:07I just had a phone call from Alfie

1:33:07 > 1:33:11saying you're selling the Vic to some corporation.

1:33:11 > 1:33:13Roxy. So it is true?

1:33:13 > 1:33:16What's it got to do with you?

1:33:18 > 1:33:22Phil, the Vic's not just a pub - it's part of our community.

1:33:22 > 1:33:24Our heritage.

1:33:24 > 1:33:26My old man drank in there. His old man did.

1:33:26 > 1:33:29You rip the Vic out of the Square, what will we have left?

1:33:29 > 1:33:31I'll have quite a bit left, as it happens.

1:33:31 > 1:33:34Especially once the cheque clears. Phil, don't do it.

1:33:36 > 1:33:40If you care about this community, just...

1:33:40 > 1:33:41just don't.

1:33:50 > 1:33:53My final offer of the day, I'll knock 10% off.

1:33:53 > 1:33:56Yeah? It's all right, man. Hey, she loves it! Come on.

1:33:58 > 1:33:59Suit yourselves.

1:33:59 > 1:34:03The famous Wicks charm scores again.

1:34:03 > 1:34:07I've got a nice little runaround out back, one careful owner.

1:34:07 > 1:34:09In David-speak, that means one careful owner,

1:34:09 > 1:34:12100,000 miles on the clock, and dodgy brakes.

1:34:12 > 1:34:14Actually I just came to say thank you

1:34:14 > 1:34:18for putting this really thoughtful gift through my letter box.

1:34:18 > 1:34:20I think a begging letter might've been more honest.

1:34:20 > 1:34:22It was knocking around at home, Janine,

1:34:22 > 1:34:25I've been meaning to give it to you for days.

1:34:25 > 1:34:28Oh, right? And, what, did you expect me to look at it,

1:34:28 > 1:34:29start thinking about Pat and Dad,

1:34:29 > 1:34:32start talking about family, how we should all stick together,

1:34:32 > 1:34:35then you sit back and wait for me to write a great big fat cheque?

1:34:35 > 1:34:37Don't knock it, Janine.

1:34:37 > 1:34:40This place is a gold mine in the right hands.

1:34:40 > 1:34:43Please! Look at it. It's hardly investment material, is it?

1:34:43 > 1:34:47Enough for your old man, weren't it? Look, just hear me out.

1:34:47 > 1:34:49No games. Just an honest proposal.

1:34:49 > 1:34:51You can't be honest, David. You don't know how.

1:34:51 > 1:34:55Well, it'll be a laugh watching me try, then, won't it? Come on.

1:34:58 > 1:35:00What are you doing back?

1:35:00 > 1:35:06I had to pick up some paperwork. And call that firm back.

1:35:08 > 1:35:11They must really want the pub.

1:35:11 > 1:35:13They want an answer by the end of the day.

1:35:13 > 1:35:15Phil, can I ask a favour?

1:35:15 > 1:35:17You know if you do sell the pub,

1:35:17 > 1:35:20and the money clears...

1:35:20 > 1:35:23can I have a loan of 20 grand?

1:35:23 > 1:35:25Am I allowed to ask what for?

1:35:25 > 1:35:28Well, you can ask.

1:35:28 > 1:35:29I'll think about it.

1:35:34 > 1:35:38I'd offer you a cuppa but I know you don't drink instant.

1:35:38 > 1:35:40How do you even get out of bed in the morning?

1:35:40 > 1:35:43Believe it or not, Janine, I like coming here.

1:35:43 > 1:35:48You used to be, like, flash cars, designer suit...

1:35:48 > 1:35:50Knock off, all of 'em.

1:35:50 > 1:35:52But you wore them so well though.

1:35:52 > 1:35:55And now look at you. I mean...

1:35:55 > 1:35:57You think this is me down on my luck?

1:35:57 > 1:35:58This is nothing, trust me.

1:35:58 > 1:36:00Oh! Poor David.

1:36:00 > 1:36:02I don't want sympathy, Janine.

1:36:02 > 1:36:04You want the truth?

1:36:05 > 1:36:08I can't do it any more.

1:36:08 > 1:36:11Roaming around, and bouncing from place to place.

1:36:11 > 1:36:13I just don't want it any more.

1:36:13 > 1:36:17I've got a home here. I've got roots.

1:36:17 > 1:36:20I need to show Carol and Bianca that I'm back here for good.

1:36:20 > 1:36:22I want my name over that door.

1:36:22 > 1:36:25Yeah, but...of this place?

1:36:25 > 1:36:27Well, OK, it's a tin can with mould on the windows

1:36:27 > 1:36:30but I made a go of it before.

1:36:30 > 1:36:32So, yeah. Yeah, this place.

1:36:33 > 1:36:38With all your money, don't you ever want to own something real?

1:36:38 > 1:36:41Oh, I think you'll find I own many real properties

1:36:41 > 1:36:44that yield a very real income.

1:36:44 > 1:36:46No, I mean real in here.

1:36:46 > 1:36:49Something that gets your juices flowing.

1:36:49 > 1:36:52Something that gets you out of a warm bed on a cold morning.

1:36:53 > 1:36:58Think about it! This place, back in the right hands.

1:36:58 > 1:37:01A proper family business.

1:37:04 > 1:37:06You know what's sad?

1:37:06 > 1:37:12You used to be a flash car with a fast engine.

1:37:12 > 1:37:14And now you're just a rusty old cut-and-shut

1:37:14 > 1:37:16that not even you could sell.

1:37:16 > 1:37:22Come on, I mean, it's hardly investment material, is it?

1:37:22 > 1:37:25Thanks, though, for the trip down memory lane.

1:37:38 > 1:37:41Hi? Excuse me. Do you still work here

1:37:41 > 1:37:43or are we going to have to get behind the counter

1:37:43 > 1:37:44and serve ourselves?

1:37:44 > 1:37:48I tell you what, tell Ian his customers can go hungry.

1:37:48 > 1:37:52Cos...I've had enough. Excuse me.

1:37:52 > 1:37:53Goodbye.

1:37:55 > 1:37:57You know what happens to communities

1:37:57 > 1:37:59when their local gets taken away, don't ya?

1:37:59 > 1:38:03I've seen it driving round in the cab. Ghost town.

1:38:03 > 1:38:06I had this fantasy that some fat cat would come in

1:38:06 > 1:38:08and buy this boozer, and keep me on as manager.

1:38:08 > 1:38:11It could still happen. Pity I'm out the running.

1:38:11 > 1:38:14All right, not that I was ever in it.

1:38:14 > 1:38:15To the Queen Victoria.

1:38:15 > 1:38:18An East End beauty taken away from us too soon.

1:38:18 > 1:38:20Yeah. To the Queen V. Queen V.

1:38:24 > 1:38:26Hello.

1:38:26 > 1:38:28She's done what?!

1:38:28 > 1:38:30How many tips d'you get, then?

1:38:30 > 1:38:3325p. And 13 sarky comments.

1:38:38 > 1:38:41You know, some day you and me,

1:38:41 > 1:38:43we won't be at the bottom of the pile round here.

1:38:43 > 1:38:45Thinking of buying the place, ladies?

1:38:57 > 1:38:58Ian called.

1:38:58 > 1:39:01If you've come to have a go, I ain't interested.

1:39:01 > 1:39:03I'm here cos I know how you feel.

1:39:03 > 1:39:05And I don't envy you.

1:39:21 > 1:39:23David?

1:39:54 > 1:39:56Wow. 20 missed calls from Jay.

1:39:56 > 1:39:59Ten from Lola.

1:39:59 > 1:40:01You're popular at last.

1:40:06 > 1:40:08They lied to me. For months.

1:40:08 > 1:40:11I'm not going to let people treat me like that.

1:40:11 > 1:40:13Good for you.

1:40:15 > 1:40:17Can I just say one thing, though?

1:40:17 > 1:40:25If you did want to forgive him... it wouldn't make you like Mum.

1:40:26 > 1:40:28This is nothing to do with Mum.

1:40:28 > 1:40:33I know. I know. I'm just saying.

1:40:53 > 1:40:55Rox. Hey. Hey.

1:40:55 > 1:40:58I thought you might want to come with me to pick up Amy from nursery.

1:40:58 > 1:41:01I thought I might stay here if that's OK.

1:41:01 > 1:41:03All right.

1:41:03 > 1:41:05Will you be home to give her dinner or shall I do that too?

1:41:05 > 1:41:07Yeah. You don't mind, do you?

1:41:07 > 1:41:09No. Course not. I'll see you later.

1:41:11 > 1:41:14Do you want another drink? Yes.

1:41:16 > 1:41:18Going to start playing nice now?

1:41:20 > 1:41:22My sister means the world to me.

1:41:23 > 1:41:25And nothing is going to change that.

1:41:25 > 1:41:27You sound so confident.

1:41:34 > 1:41:36It's a lot more than it's worth.

1:41:36 > 1:41:37Tell me about it.

1:41:37 > 1:41:40And you're not sure what they're going to do with it?

1:41:40 > 1:41:44They could keep it as is. Or give it a bit of a makeover.

1:41:44 > 1:41:46Yeah. Or knock it down and sling it in the nearest skip.

1:41:46 > 1:41:49And would that really be such a bad thing?

1:41:49 > 1:41:50Sharon, this is the Vic we're talking about,

1:41:50 > 1:41:52not some two-bit gaff on the High Street.

1:41:52 > 1:41:56Who do you think you're talking to? I've spent half my life in there.

1:41:56 > 1:41:59I've stood behind that bar, thinking nothing could touch me.

1:41:59 > 1:42:01And I've been the kid kneeling on the landing

1:42:01 > 1:42:04listening to Mum and Dad having yet another row.

1:42:04 > 1:42:07Knowing life would never be the same again.

1:42:07 > 1:42:09So you know.

1:42:11 > 1:42:13I know that the best and the worst things

1:42:13 > 1:42:16that have ever happened to me have happened in that pub.

1:42:16 > 1:42:18And me and you.

1:42:19 > 1:42:21What side of the line does that fall on?

1:42:21 > 1:42:24Me and you? Which time?

1:42:25 > 1:42:27Dad would have had his hands round your throat

1:42:27 > 1:42:29if he thought you were selling the Vic off for a bit of scrap.

1:42:29 > 1:42:31And Mum.

1:42:33 > 1:42:36Well, at the end of the day, they don't live here, do they?

1:42:36 > 1:42:39So you'd rather it was gone? Just a hole in the ground?

1:42:43 > 1:42:45What do you think about, eh?

1:42:46 > 1:42:48Every time you walk past that place?

1:42:48 > 1:42:50I try not to.

1:42:54 > 1:42:58I thought you didn't want me. You didn't want our baby.

1:42:58 > 1:43:01You kept going on about your future without saying how I was going to fit into it.

1:43:01 > 1:43:04Yeah, because I thought we'd work that part out together.

1:43:04 > 1:43:07And we still can work that bit out together!

1:43:07 > 1:43:08I'm scared!

1:43:09 > 1:43:13Because I trusted you so much. And now...

1:43:13 > 1:43:17Look, I know I ruined things. But, please, Abs...

1:43:17 > 1:43:19No, Jay, listen to me.

1:43:22 > 1:43:24I know it was just a kiss.

1:43:24 > 1:43:28And I know we'd just been through something massive.

1:43:28 > 1:43:30But I don't want us to waste years

1:43:30 > 1:43:33splitting up and getting back together

1:43:33 > 1:43:34and never really being happy.

1:43:34 > 1:43:41We won't! We might. And I've seen that, and I won't do it.

1:43:41 > 1:43:42Not to either of us.

1:43:45 > 1:43:49I can't promise you that we won't have our problems.

1:43:49 > 1:43:54But I can promise you that when we do, I'll be straight with you.

1:43:55 > 1:43:57No more lies. Just me and you.

1:44:26 > 1:44:29Between Rox hanging about with him and Phil selling this place

1:44:29 > 1:44:31we're getting a bad reputation round here.

1:44:31 > 1:44:33Speak for yourself. I ain't no Mitchell.

1:44:33 > 1:44:36Yes, you are. And don't you ever forget it, right?

1:44:36 > 1:44:38Where you going?

1:44:38 > 1:44:39One minute.

1:44:39 > 1:44:41Buy us a drink, Bill.

1:44:41 > 1:44:45How comes whenever you two come in here I've got to buy the round?

1:44:45 > 1:44:46Because we're skint.

1:44:46 > 1:44:48You know what, we'll be having Christmas dinner

1:44:48 > 1:44:51at the community centre with Dot's old codgers at this rate.

1:44:51 > 1:44:54Feeling sorry for us yet? Nope. Trace? Sort them out.

1:44:54 > 1:44:56Here, Rox? Fancy a shot?

1:44:56 > 1:44:59A party with me's better than one with him. Ha-ha! Yes, please!

1:44:59 > 1:45:01Cos I turned you down you want to mess things up with me and Abi?

1:45:01 > 1:45:04It's not like that! What is it, then? I don't understand you any more.

1:45:04 > 1:45:07I was having a bad week and it just slipped out... But I...

1:45:10 > 1:45:12Yous going to get a round in, or...?

1:45:12 > 1:45:14Hang on a minute! Are yous two...?

1:45:14 > 1:45:19One mistake isn't worth ruining everything we've got.

1:45:19 > 1:45:21So are we all right, Abs?

1:45:21 > 1:45:23I'm sorry!

1:45:23 > 1:45:27You see, look at that! You two back together. That's right.

1:45:30 > 1:45:31Where are you going?

1:45:31 > 1:45:35Look, it's like you said, man, I ain't been myself recently.

1:45:35 > 1:45:37I need to sort out my head.

1:45:37 > 1:45:40I don't want to be the one that ruins everything all the time.

1:45:40 > 1:45:41I'm sorry, though.

1:45:42 > 1:45:44Dex, don't go. We'll help you out.

1:45:44 > 1:45:48Abs, this is my thing. I'm going to sort it out, yeah?

1:46:01 > 1:46:03You're both fired. Merry Christmas.

1:46:03 > 1:46:05Wait, what?!

1:46:05 > 1:46:07It's nothing personal, all right, Lucy,

1:46:07 > 1:46:10I just need to free up some cash. You can't do that. It's illegal.

1:46:10 > 1:46:13That is true. But my lawyers are bigger and better than yours.

1:46:13 > 1:46:16Janine - it's Christmas.

1:46:16 > 1:46:20Exactly. What better time to invest in a family business?

1:46:28 > 1:46:30I'd better go and get Denny from Dot's.

1:46:30 > 1:46:33So, uh... What am I going to tell them?

1:46:34 > 1:46:38You asked me what I think about when I walk past the Vic. Ghosts.

1:46:38 > 1:46:41I used to think that pub was the only place I'd ever be happy.

1:46:43 > 1:46:45Now I know I could never go back.

1:47:05 > 1:47:08One thing. I asked you to do one little thing...

1:47:08 > 1:47:10Sorry, the day didn't exactly go as planned.

1:47:10 > 1:47:12Shall I nip down the chippy or something?

1:47:12 > 1:47:14You come back here, ignore me when I say you're not welcome...

1:47:14 > 1:47:17Hey, why am I public enemy number one all of a sudden?

1:47:17 > 1:47:19Cause trouble with me and Mas, sit on your backside

1:47:19 > 1:47:22while I try to stop this family falling apart... I don't need this!

1:47:22 > 1:47:26You can't even get a packet of fish fingers from the Minute Mart! If you knew what I'd been doing all day...

1:47:26 > 1:47:30Swanning round in your cheap suit, mouthing off, achieving nothing? No!

1:47:30 > 1:47:33I've been humiliating myself! Getting down on bended knee to Janine

1:47:33 > 1:47:36like a pathetic waste of space, and for why?

1:47:36 > 1:47:38For us. For this family. For our future.

1:47:38 > 1:47:41Oh, you think that's funny? Me trying to do something right?

1:47:41 > 1:47:44That is the funniest thing that's come out your mouth in years.

1:47:44 > 1:47:45Carol, I really don't know what's...

1:47:45 > 1:47:48You've been making empty promises for 30 years! I'm sorry!

1:47:48 > 1:47:51It's pathetic, useless, and I'm sick of it. Mum?

1:47:51 > 1:47:54Get out of here! I said get out of here! Oi! Get out! All right!

1:47:57 > 1:48:00Mum? What is the matter with you?!

1:48:22 > 1:48:24It's done.

1:48:24 > 1:48:25Good.

1:48:26 > 1:48:28Have you thought about my loan?

1:48:30 > 1:48:3120 grand?

1:48:32 > 1:48:35And you ain't going to tell me what it's for?

1:48:35 > 1:48:37You're having a laugh, in't ya?

1:48:40 > 1:48:44Eight points from the next four games, it'll put us right at the top.

1:48:44 > 1:48:46Can I get a large whisky, please?

1:48:47 > 1:48:50I'm guessing this ain't the first boozer you've been in...

1:48:50 > 1:48:53Not being funny, but will you just give me my drink, please?

1:48:53 > 1:48:55Yes. There you go, Joey.

1:48:58 > 1:49:01You know what? Those Brannings are a pain in the backside.

1:49:01 > 1:49:03Carol dropped me right in it at the caff earlier.

1:49:03 > 1:49:07Here you go, mate. Get your laughing gear round that, on the house.

1:49:07 > 1:49:11Thank you very much! You're welcome. Oi, Santa. You forgot something.

1:49:16 > 1:49:19Everybody! It's Christmas!

1:49:22 > 1:49:26Oi, you! This ain't self service!

1:49:26 > 1:49:29Oh, I've just spoke to Phil, and he's agreed to sell me this place.

1:49:29 > 1:49:31What is the point in having all that money

1:49:31 > 1:49:35if you don't spend it on something that gets your pulse racing?

1:49:35 > 1:49:37And I have always thought

1:49:37 > 1:49:40that a landlady works much better behind the bar here.
