0:00:27 > 0:00:28You all right, Lauren?

0:00:29 > 0:00:30Hi.

0:00:33 > 0:00:34Why are you sitting in the dark?

0:00:37 > 0:00:40Just woke up early. Didn't want to wake any of you up.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43Do you want a cup of tea?

0:00:56 > 0:00:57Abi?

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Abi? You've fallen asleep.

0:01:02 > 0:01:03What time is it?

0:01:03 > 0:01:05It's quarter to eight.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08I've got five hours and I know absolutely nothing.

0:01:08 > 0:01:09All right, all right.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13I've just got to nip out, OK?

0:01:13 > 0:01:16But while I'm out there I'm going to get us some treats,

0:01:16 > 0:01:18and then I'm going to come back and help you any way I can. OK?

0:01:18 > 0:01:21She'll be all right.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Sorry, love?

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Lauren. I know you're going to go round to Dad's and check on her.

0:01:29 > 0:01:30You're my priority today.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33No, it's all right, I've thought about her, too.

0:01:35 > 0:01:36What are we like, eh?

0:01:40 > 0:01:42I'm all yours today, Al.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45We'll go out and do something if you want?

0:01:48 > 0:01:49You name it, we'll do it.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52Up for that?

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Be good to get away from the Square, won't it?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Private detectives?

0:02:10 > 0:02:14Er, yeah. Well, it was going to be a surprise, sort of.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Look - Peter Beale gave me this.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23- It's from David.- Yeah.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Well, where'd it come from? And why's it opened?

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Well, like I said, Peter Beale gave it to me.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32I know, but how did he have the letter?

0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Dunno, but the main thing is... - I know what the main thing is.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37It's a letter addressed to me that everyone's got to before me.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Mum, the other letter...

0:02:39 > 0:02:42I didn't have time to decide if I wanted to find him. But I do.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45We've been through all that, Bianca.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Mum, you know he's scared to come back.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Well, I dunno about that.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52If I find him I can tell him that Derek's dead

0:02:52 > 0:02:54and there's nothing else to worry about.

0:02:54 > 0:02:55Yeah, well, this was sent months ago.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59All this says is that he's not coming back.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00Let it go, love.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23This ain't quite the day out I had in mind, Al.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26C'mon, let's go.

0:03:26 > 0:03:27I don't get it.

0:03:27 > 0:03:28Get what?

0:03:28 > 0:03:31This. Whatever it is you're doing.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33I don't understand why you care now. What's changed?

0:03:33 > 0:03:36What do you mean, what's changed? I'm taking my sister out, ain't I?

0:03:36 > 0:03:37I'm not buying it.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40All right.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45I know, all right, Alice, about...

0:03:47 > 0:03:48About you and Michael.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52But it's all right, I've sorted it now.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55What do you mean you've sorted it?

0:03:55 > 0:03:57I took my eye off the ball with you and him, didn't I?

0:03:57 > 0:03:58What does it mean?

0:03:59 > 0:04:02I just had words with him, all right, Alice? I put him right.

0:04:02 > 0:04:03What have you done?

0:04:03 > 0:04:07Nothing. Enough. I did enough. Where you going? Alice!

0:04:09 > 0:04:10Michael, I haven't forgiven you,

0:04:10 > 0:04:13but I just want to check you're not dead in a ditch somewhere.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Is that why he didn't come home last night?

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Yeah, and a good thing too, Al.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Did you hit him?

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Maybe. Yeah.

0:04:22 > 0:04:23You had no right, Joey.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26I'm sorry. Alice, I am sorry.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29It's all my fault, all this, I know that.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31I should've been around more, Al, I know.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34I don't want you anywhere near me.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Come on, Alice! He had it coming, you know as well as I do.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Hi. Is my daughter in?

0:04:41 > 0:04:42Well, yeah, she is.

0:04:42 > 0:04:43Good.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Well, no... She's...

0:04:46 > 0:04:49I mean, she's asleep. She's been up all night, and...

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Well, she's just dozed off again. I can give her a message.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Right.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59No. There's no message, I just wanted to say hi.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01You know, let her know I'm around.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06I'm at home all day helping Abi out, so if she does ask...

0:05:08 > 0:05:09Yeah.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Thanks.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28Hear that? Your mum said you could call in on her and Abi.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Yeah. Probably be waiting there with frying pans.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33I would be.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Could be your chance to mend a few bridges.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Tell Dad, if Mum tries to talk him round, can you tell him

0:05:38 > 0:05:39that I really like it here.

0:05:39 > 0:05:40Yeah, course.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44But your mum did look worried about you.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50It's Abi's birthday at the weekend, maybe I could go round then.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Do something nice for Abi.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57How long's that been going on?

0:05:57 > 0:05:59It hasn't. Just started.

0:06:13 > 0:06:14Do you want me to call a doctor?

0:06:17 > 0:06:21What? No. No, I'm fine. It's just cold in here.

0:06:27 > 0:06:28It's freezing.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Look, do you mind washing your hands

0:06:31 > 0:06:33before you come and touch these dresses, please?

0:06:33 > 0:06:34Look. Look at that.

0:06:36 > 0:06:37Peter.

0:06:37 > 0:06:38All right?

0:06:38 > 0:06:40How did you get that letter?

0:06:40 > 0:06:41There was a mix up with my dad and Lucy,

0:06:41 > 0:06:43just thought I'd give it to you.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45And they had it because what...?

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Don't know, you'd have to ask one of them.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Kat, look, I won't be a minute.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Dexter, you've got the dentist later.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Oh, you never said. - Yeah, I know. I forgot.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58Now make sure they're sparkling, cos fillings costs a fortune these days.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Aww, man, I hate going to the dentist.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Jay, Hurry up, man. Let's go, man. We're late.

0:07:02 > 0:07:03I'm waiting for my tea, ain't I?

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Dex, wait up.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08What? Dexter got a plane to catch?

0:07:08 > 0:07:10- All right, Abs?- So...

0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Yeah, what's the matter? - Who's that girl, then?

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Oh, that's Lola, she's just a mate.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18Abs, you're a genius and you're going to sail through these exams.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20What, so you're saying you ain't got no brains now?

0:07:20 > 0:07:23That's a good attitude to have(!) Very good, yeah(!)

0:07:26 > 0:07:28It's good to see Dexter so settled.

0:07:28 > 0:07:29Yeah. We both are.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Be nice if you could find some room for me.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Just a small spot, doesn't have to be big.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Don't hold your breath. Just be happy I'm talking to you, yeah?

0:07:44 > 0:07:45I am.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Where did you find it?

0:07:47 > 0:07:48Just...around.

0:07:48 > 0:07:49Around where?

0:07:51 > 0:07:52It was in a box.

0:07:52 > 0:07:53Was there anything else in there?

0:07:54 > 0:07:55I don't know, I didn't look.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Oh, come off it, Ian, of course you did. Let me see the box.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Bianca, I'm busy, OK?

0:08:00 > 0:08:01Do you want me to tell my mum?

0:08:03 > 0:08:04Fine.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14All right?

0:08:14 > 0:08:16You got an appointment?

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Didn't know I needed one.

0:08:18 > 0:08:19Right, so what was you after?

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Tell you what, you give me the once over and tell me what I need.

0:08:24 > 0:08:29OK. Well, you definitely need to start moisturising,

0:08:29 > 0:08:32and don't even get me started on them cuticles.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Can't help that, workman's hands.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Right. Did you want to make an appointment then?

0:08:38 > 0:08:42Actually, I'm here to fix a lamp. Poppy called me this morning.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44I know, I'm only winding you up. It's that one.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48I'll have to watch you.

0:08:48 > 0:08:49You got an appointment?

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Pedicure? Or was it a leg wax?

0:08:51 > 0:08:54No. I need you.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Sadly, I'm spoken for, darling. - Yeah, right, come on. Two minutes.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06A bit tense, maybe he needs a massage.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09And some manners while he's at it. Stupid boy.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Right, so you say you're Alice's best mate, yeah?

0:09:11 > 0:09:13I don't say it, I am it.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Still let her get mixed up with Michael, though, didn't you?

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Uh, hang on a minute. I did try and warn her.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20It's fine, don't worry. Look, just...

0:09:20 > 0:09:23You can make up for it now. I need a favour.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25Um, I don't actually have to do anything, Joey.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Just watch her for me? Will you, please? Yeah?

0:09:28 > 0:09:30I can't have her going back to him, can I?

0:09:30 > 0:09:33I know, but I'm working today. Can't you do something?

0:09:33 > 0:09:34I tried.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36It's up to you now.

0:09:37 > 0:09:38Cheers.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Something to replace your lucky key ring.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Dad, I'm nervous enough as it is, there's no need to rub it in.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Ab, you'll be fine.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Yeah, you're doing great.

0:09:52 > 0:09:53Yeah, thanks to Mum.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Right, well, we'd better get on, cos time's running out.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01I'm going to pop back after lunch, I'll drive you to the exam.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02Are you sure?

0:10:02 > 0:10:05Last thing you need is transport worries. Nervous enough, ain't you?

0:10:05 > 0:10:08So just stay calm, keep focused, you'll nail it.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15How's Lauren getting on?

0:10:16 > 0:10:17Yeah.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20I mean, she's obviously sorry she ruined Abi's notes.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Well, that's a start, ain't it?

0:10:23 > 0:10:26But other than that, she's thriving.

0:10:26 > 0:10:27Thriving.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30She asked for me?

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Nah. She's not really saying that much. Teenagers.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37Look after her, won't you?

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Yeah, course.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42She'll be all right, Tan, she's got me, ain't she?

0:10:42 > 0:10:43Dad of the Year.

0:10:44 > 0:10:45Dad of the Decade.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50See ya.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52DOOR CLOSES

0:10:54 > 0:10:55All right?

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Yeah. You need to get back to the flat.

0:10:57 > 0:10:58Why, what's the matter?

0:10:58 > 0:11:00It's Lauren.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Nice move that, going to Bianca.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14I have no idea what you're talking about.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17David's letter. I know you gave it to them.

0:11:17 > 0:11:18It wasn't me.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Lucy, I know when you're lying.

0:11:20 > 0:11:21It was Peter.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Yeah, as if he'd do something like that.

0:11:24 > 0:11:25She came in then, did she? Bianca.

0:11:27 > 0:11:28It was nothing.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Which is why you've come home to change your trousers.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32I'm not scared of her.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35Yeah? Well, you should be, because they're going to want to know

0:11:35 > 0:11:37what else you've got of Derek's.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41Can you imagine if they found out about the money you took?

0:11:45 > 0:11:46Lauren?

0:11:48 > 0:11:49Lauren.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Your dad's talking to you.

0:11:54 > 0:11:55Sorry.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56You all right?

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Yeah.

0:12:00 > 0:12:01You're shaking.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07I'm cold. Think I might be coming down with something.

0:12:07 > 0:12:08I'll get you some medicine, yeah?

0:12:08 > 0:12:10When I take Abi to her exam.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13What, have you seen her?

0:12:13 > 0:12:14Yeah.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15And?

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Yeah, she's good.

0:12:17 > 0:12:18She mention me?

0:12:19 > 0:12:21No, she's a bit focused on her exam.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25She still angry at me, then?

0:12:27 > 0:12:30You know what Abi's like, she'll forgive you.

0:12:30 > 0:12:31Want some water?

0:12:40 > 0:12:41I still want to call a doctor.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Oh, babe, behave yourself, will you?

0:12:43 > 0:12:44Just for peace of mind.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Let's see how it goes today, then tomorrow we'll know what's what.

0:12:47 > 0:12:48- Max...- Kirsty, trust me.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53Anyway, you've got other things to worry about, ain't you?

0:12:53 > 0:12:54I have?

0:12:54 > 0:12:57Yeah. We've got to do up the nursery.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59Got another scan in a couple of weeks.

0:13:01 > 0:13:02Don't worry.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10Right, so what I was thinking, is you could answer some telephones,

0:13:10 > 0:13:12take some bookings, etc.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Cos, you know, we've got a really hectic day.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Have we?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Yep. And we could do with a receptionist.

0:13:18 > 0:13:19Really?

0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Yeah. Tell her, Lola. - Tell her what?

0:13:26 > 0:13:28OK, confession time.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31Um, I just haven't spent enough time with you recently,

0:13:31 > 0:13:34and I thought, wouldn't it be nice if...

0:13:34 > 0:13:35Lola, has my brother been in here?

0:13:41 > 0:13:45This is a joke. He told me he'd back off.

0:13:45 > 0:13:50- Look, he just came in because... - For what? For a manicure? I doubt it.

0:13:50 > 0:13:51OK, OK.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55He's worried about you, Alice, as am I, and...

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Poppy, why don't you just leave me alone?!

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Why don't all of you just back off and leave me alone?!

0:14:03 > 0:14:05That was awkward!

0:14:14 > 0:14:15You all right, Alice?

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Alice!

0:14:24 > 0:14:25Alice!

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Alice! What're you doing?

0:14:28 > 0:14:32Put that back, you don't want to be doing things like that.

0:14:35 > 0:14:36Doing what?

0:14:37 > 0:14:39He's locked himself in the gym?

0:14:39 > 0:14:41One of the trainers just called to say he saw him go in there

0:14:41 > 0:14:43and bolt the door behind him.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45That's a bit much, ain't it?

0:14:45 > 0:14:46It's weird.

0:14:50 > 0:14:51Is Michael in?

0:14:53 > 0:14:54Good.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58You going to say something?

0:14:58 > 0:14:59Eh?

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Did you see Michael or something? Was that it?

0:15:03 > 0:15:05I said to you, I said, "Alice, don't go near him."

0:15:06 > 0:15:08No...

0:15:08 > 0:15:10I did not see Michael.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13OK. All right, well, what was the key ring all about, then?

0:15:17 > 0:15:18See?

0:15:18 > 0:15:20That's proof. You ain't yourself, are you?

0:15:20 > 0:15:22Eh?

0:15:23 > 0:15:24You ain't yourself.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Look at me, Al.

0:15:32 > 0:15:33Come on.

0:15:36 > 0:15:37You need me.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44I know it's going to take time, but I'll fix this, I will.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48You're too late, Joey.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52You're way too late.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54What you talking about? Too late? What you talking about?

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Don't think he's going to be here.

0:16:19 > 0:16:20Michael, you get my calls?

0:16:24 > 0:16:25Michael?

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Say something, Al.

0:16:40 > 0:16:41Please.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52I was out wandering one day...

0:16:55 > 0:16:56..and I saw this scarf.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01I was just staring at it.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07Five or ten minutes, just staring.

0:17:10 > 0:17:11Then...

0:17:14 > 0:17:16I walked home and it was in my pocket.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24I don't even know how it got there.

0:17:27 > 0:17:28I swear, I don't.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36And then I didn't know what to do with it...

0:17:39 > 0:17:40..so I hid it.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51Alice, there's tons of stuff in that cupboard.

0:17:54 > 0:17:55I know.

0:17:56 > 0:17:57Oh, Joey...

0:17:57 > 0:18:00Hey, all right, all right. Don't worry.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04It'll be all right.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Listen, could you lend me a tenner? Only I'm going to go out with Mas

0:18:06 > 0:18:08and I don't want him to pay for everything.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11No, sorry. All my money's going towards a fund

0:18:11 > 0:18:12for a private detective.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15B, please, for your own sake, can you just forget about your dad?

0:18:15 > 0:18:18I, erm... I found this. I think it's Derek's.

0:18:18 > 0:18:19Derek's?

0:18:19 > 0:18:20Well, I don't know for sure,

0:18:20 > 0:18:22cos I haven't looked through it or nothing.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24- But how lucky was that? - For some people.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27Yeah. So, that's it then. We're done.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29What's he talking about, done?

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Don't know. Go and ask him.

0:18:31 > 0:18:32Oi, Ian.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36How did you just happen to find that?

0:18:36 > 0:18:38It was, uh, in the Emporium.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41Whilst we were renovating I moved something and...

0:18:41 > 0:18:42it was just there.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45You could at least say thank you - would've thought you'd be grateful.

0:18:45 > 0:18:46And that's all there was?

0:18:46 > 0:18:48Yeah. I'll have it back if you don't want it.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50No, all right.

0:18:52 > 0:18:53What's in it?

0:18:53 > 0:18:54I don't know.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Right. So you've got everything, yeah?

0:18:59 > 0:19:01Yeah. I just need more coffee.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03That's the problem with afternoon exams,

0:19:03 > 0:19:05you're tired before you even get there.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07We'll get one on the way.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10Right, then. Good luck.

0:19:10 > 0:19:11Thanks.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14And thank you for this morning, might actually have a chance now.

0:19:14 > 0:19:15You'll be fine.

0:19:18 > 0:19:19Well done.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22She's all right, you know, about Lauren coming back.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Oh. Yeah. Good old Abs.

0:19:24 > 0:19:25Yeah, well, you know what she's like,

0:19:25 > 0:19:27the font of all knowledge, ain't she?

0:19:27 > 0:19:29She seems to think maybe I overreacted,

0:19:29 > 0:19:30I was a bit hasty, maybe.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Thing is, Tan... - She's probably right, isn't she?

0:19:32 > 0:19:34But Lauren didn't give me a chance, so...

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Lauren, she don't want to come home.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44It's fine now. Everything's calmed down.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47She wants to stay put for a bit. With me and Kirsty.

0:19:47 > 0:19:48- She said that?- Yeah.

0:19:52 > 0:19:53Right.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Well, she's all yours then, isn't she? If that's what she wants.

0:19:59 > 0:20:00Look after her.

0:20:02 > 0:20:03She's still my baby.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05Yeah.

0:20:24 > 0:20:25What?

0:20:28 > 0:20:30I'm going to get you an appointment.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32I'm not ill.

0:20:32 > 0:20:33I was like you once, Lauren.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36What, you were cold?

0:20:37 > 0:20:38- Lost.- Well, that's not me.

0:20:38 > 0:20:43I didn't know who I was, what I was doing, and worst of all...

0:20:44 > 0:20:45..I didn't care.

0:20:48 > 0:20:53Anyway, I've got some more ideas about Abi's birthday.

0:20:53 > 0:20:58Lauren, I was an addict. I was completely messed up.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01I'm going to get her a really good present.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05Your dad's not seeing it, or he doesn't want to, but I'm seeing it.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08I'm going to invite all her mates round, as well, actually.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11One of us needs to tell him, make him understand.

0:21:11 > 0:21:15I want to do, like a mix tape, or something, or a CD.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Lauren!

0:21:17 > 0:21:18I should write it down.

0:21:18 > 0:21:19Are you throwing up?

0:21:22 > 0:21:23No.

0:21:27 > 0:21:28Maybe... Maybe a bit.

0:21:28 > 0:21:33Yeah. And do you feel like everything is just getting too much?

0:21:33 > 0:21:34You know, you just can't cope?

0:21:37 > 0:21:40Lauren, you've got to be honest with this.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42I told lies, over and over.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Well, I'm not like you, am I?!

0:21:45 > 0:21:48No! I'm not an addict.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Anyway, what's the problem? Right? Because I am fine.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52You're all right now anyway, so just shut up.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Look at me, Lauren.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58You need to see someone, you really do.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40PHONE RINGS

0:22:44 > 0:22:45Hello, you.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50I'll need you there.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52Sharon's gone away and I've got no-one to open up the R&R.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Thanks, Joey, thanks for nothing.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Hi.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02I was just passing, so thought I'd say hi.

0:23:03 > 0:23:04Yeah, keep passing.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09Erm, your car won't be ready yet.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Still waiting on some parts for it.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13That's cool, I'm in no hurry.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Gives me another day to see the sights.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23- I made a new friend today. Lola. - She ain't your friend.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25She's all right, got a lot about her.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Are you deaf? I said she ain't your friend.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Look, like I said, keep passing.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33- Er, Dex, we've... - Yes, all right, Mum. I know.

0:23:35 > 0:23:36I did warn you.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42What the hell, the car's fixed tomorrow.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44So I'll climb in and hit the road.

0:23:44 > 0:23:45What, just like that?

0:23:46 > 0:23:49Why not? I ain't making any headway here.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00You all right, Joey?

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Ian found this at the Emporium. It's some of your dad's stuff,

0:24:02 > 0:24:04and obviously, I thought of you two...

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Just keep it. Honestly.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Oh, right.- Or bin it. Whatever you want to do...

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Hold on.

0:24:10 > 0:24:11I'll have it.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14It's some photos and bits and pieces, darling.

0:24:14 > 0:24:15Is this all there was?

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Yeah, I think so.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19- Thank you.- All right, darling.

0:24:19 > 0:24:20Thank you so much.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28At least one of you is happy.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29You reckon, do you?

0:24:29 > 0:24:32Look, he wasn't perfect, but he was still your dad.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Look, Joey.

0:25:05 > 0:25:06Can I get you a drink?

0:25:07 > 0:25:09Maybe a lump of steak for that eye?

0:25:13 > 0:25:15He'll have to stay with you for a bit.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18- You serious? - He can't stay with Alice, can he?

0:25:21 > 0:25:22Fair point.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27Michael, give me your keys. I'll go round yours, grab some stuff.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35This better not be an act.

0:25:40 > 0:25:41Dad?

0:25:41 > 0:25:42It's Bianca.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Oh, sorry...

0:25:47 > 0:25:49I thought you was someone else.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52Yeah, David Wicks.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56You don't know where he is, do you?

0:25:58 > 0:26:00It's a long shot, I know. Never mind.

0:26:01 > 0:26:05No, my uncle Derek had this number written down, so...

0:26:05 > 0:26:06Yeah.

0:26:08 > 0:26:09Derek Branning.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Yeah, it is a small world.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18Walford, he came to Walford.

0:26:21 > 0:26:22What?

0:26:23 > 0:26:24You want my address?

0:26:25 > 0:26:26You ain't having my address.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Weirdo.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35Is that going to stop you stealing now then, yeah?

0:26:38 > 0:26:40Started after Dad died, didn't it?

0:26:43 > 0:26:48Good old dad, still messing up our lives, even now he's gone.

0:26:48 > 0:26:49That's not fair.

0:26:49 > 0:26:50What do you mean, that's not fair?

0:26:50 > 0:26:53That's all he was ever any good at anyway, weren't it?

0:26:53 > 0:26:55You know, you're not doing any better.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57Going around hitting Michael like that.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59As much as you carry on like you hated him,

0:26:59 > 0:27:01you're just the same as him, Joey.

0:27:01 > 0:27:02No, I'm not.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Alice, I said no, I'm not, all right? I ain't nothing like him.

0:27:05 > 0:27:06Nothing! You know that!

0:27:19 > 0:27:22Yeah, well, she's a kid, isn't she? She's having a blow out.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24It's what all kids do.

0:27:24 > 0:27:25This is more than that.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29All right, well, I'll sort her out, won't I?

0:27:29 > 0:27:30You don't know how to.

0:27:30 > 0:27:31All dads know how to.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34Come, on Max, wake up.

0:27:34 > 0:27:38I mean, she's shaking all the time, she's throwing up, she gets down.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40And she drinks. She drinks and she drinks.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43Kirsty, you're panicking, all right? You don't know kids like I do.

0:27:45 > 0:27:46But I know an addict when I see one.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53What are you talking about? What do you mean? Addict?

0:27:54 > 0:27:56I was an addict, Max.

0:27:59 > 0:28:03Yeah, different addictions, maybe, but the same symptoms.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07I mean, pretending it's something else isn't going to help her.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09She ain't an addict, all right? I know she ain't.

0:28:10 > 0:28:12You're well off the mark.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18You're wrong, Kirsty. All right? I know you are.

0:28:33 > 0:28:35# Sexy senorita

0:28:35 > 0:28:36# I feel your aura

0:28:36 > 0:28:38# That new motor

0:28:38 > 0:28:39# Getting my flying saucer

0:28:41 > 0:28:42Here you go, Mum.

0:28:42 > 0:28:46- Wow. Did I forget your birthday or something?- No.

0:28:46 > 0:28:47That car'll be done this afternoon,

0:28:47 > 0:28:49that means UK's best father will be out of here.

0:28:49 > 0:28:52Isn't that enough to put a smile on my face?

0:28:52 > 0:28:55- I'll see you later, yeah? - See you later, babe.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01You didn't realise, did you?

0:29:04 > 0:29:06Can we just keep this between ourselves?

0:29:06 > 0:29:08I don't even want Abi finding out.

0:29:08 > 0:29:12- Poor girl, she's been through enough, hasn't she?- Yeah.

0:29:12 > 0:29:15Lauren's upstairs, I can't really talk now. I'm working on something.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17- So I'll come and find you later.- OK.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29I'll do us an omelette.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40Morning.

0:29:43 > 0:29:45Thought you weren't talking to me.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48Don't be silly.

0:29:48 > 0:29:51So what you going to do with all the stuff you nicked then, eh?

0:29:51 > 0:29:53FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:29:53 > 0:29:55See you later.

0:29:55 > 0:29:56Where you going?

0:29:56 > 0:29:57I'm just going for a walk.

0:29:57 > 0:30:02- I'll come with you. - Um...I'm going to see Michael.

0:30:02 > 0:30:06Oh. OK. Tell him I said hi.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09Hi? What you talking about "hi," Alice?

0:30:09 > 0:30:11He messed you around, he mugged you off. What you talking about?

0:30:11 > 0:30:13Look, I know. I need to move on.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15Well, do something then.

0:30:15 > 0:30:19You let things happen to you then sit about moping, don't you?

0:30:19 > 0:30:21Take control for once.

0:30:24 > 0:30:27- So, this afternoon, yeah? - Yeah, say about five?

0:30:27 > 0:30:29I'm giving Jay the afternoon off to pick up a part.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31Then you'll be back on the road.

0:30:31 > 0:30:32He'll definitely like that.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34He's a good little mechanic.

0:30:34 > 0:30:38Nothing good about it. Try great. Super-great.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41Well, he didn't get that big head from me.

0:30:41 > 0:30:42See you later then.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45Yeah. See you later.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48He seems all right.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50That's cos you don't know him.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Like I said to you before, neither do you.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Listen, I'm not bothered about that wasteman.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56I just want him and this out of here.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04Michael, why don't you go and have a shower?

0:31:04 > 0:31:08Yeah. Go on. And I'll cook you something.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11Don't that prove I'm worried?

0:31:12 > 0:31:14You can't let Janine drag you under.

0:31:14 > 0:31:16If you want to see Scarlett again,

0:31:16 > 0:31:18you've at least got to get out of bed.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22PHONE RINGS

0:31:26 > 0:31:28Hello?

0:31:36 > 0:31:38There's a seat here.

0:31:49 > 0:31:53So when are you leaving?

0:31:53 > 0:31:57Wow. Cut to the chase, huh?

0:31:57 > 0:32:00By five, Phil reckons.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05Which gives me a few hours to persuade Dexter

0:32:05 > 0:32:07I'm not some dirt on his shoe.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10How do you rate my chances?

0:32:10 > 0:32:12I never dissed you, you know.

0:32:12 > 0:32:14I only ever told him good stuff.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17He's just giving me what I deserve.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22But you can't blame a man for hoping.

0:32:23 > 0:32:28Oh, Tanya! Thanks for coming.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32We can sit there.

0:32:32 > 0:32:34Have a safe journey.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47Thanks.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50OK. Do you want to talk about it?

0:32:50 > 0:32:54To be honest, I could do with the distraction.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57Are you sure it's OK to revise at yours again?

0:32:57 > 0:33:00It's just that Oscar has the noisiest friend round after school.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02Yes, of course it is.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05Oh, look at the state some people get their smalls to get in.

0:33:10 > 0:33:12What's that sigh for?

0:33:12 > 0:33:13Abi?

0:33:16 > 0:33:19It's Lauren. I think things are really bad.

0:33:19 > 0:33:21Oh, dear.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23Good morning, Vicar.

0:33:23 > 0:33:26Mrs Branning, I need your help.

0:33:26 > 0:33:30This is Albert, he's from a small town in Northern France.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32Head office want him to see

0:33:32 > 0:33:38the real London before he starts his secondment in Malawi.

0:33:38 > 0:33:39Oh, that's in Africa, isn't it?

0:33:39 > 0:33:42My boss asked me and I'm asking you.

0:33:42 > 0:33:43Oh, but, Vicar,

0:33:43 > 0:33:47I've got another four washes to do before one o'clock besides this one.

0:33:47 > 0:33:51No-one knows the parish better. Thank you!

0:33:52 > 0:33:54Looks like you're going to be busy so...

0:33:54 > 0:34:00Hold on. Albert. This is my granddaughter, Abigail.

0:34:00 > 0:34:02Abi, this is Albert.

0:34:04 > 0:34:05Don't discriminate, does it, love?

0:34:05 > 0:34:08Makes a fool of you no matter how sensible you are.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11I mean, look at Lauren.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13No matter how much damage me and Max

0:34:13 > 0:34:16and all our rubbish was causing, we just carried on, didn't we.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18Cos we "loved each other."

0:34:20 > 0:34:23No-one's ever made me feel the way Sam did.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26But then, no-one's ever hurt me that badly either.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28Does he want to give it another go?

0:34:28 > 0:34:32Dunno. Haven't given him a chance to say what he wants.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35Then there's Dexter. He hates him.

0:34:35 > 0:34:36Yeah?

0:34:38 > 0:34:40Well, he's not a kid any more, is he?

0:34:40 > 0:34:46You're not like me and Max, you've always put Dexter first.

0:34:46 > 0:34:50Maybe it's time you did what you wanted for once - right or wrong.

0:34:50 > 0:34:51And ruin everything?

0:34:52 > 0:34:54That's love for you.

0:34:59 > 0:35:03Now don't show him no drugs, no gangs, no litter and no graffiti.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05And certainly don't introduce him to your sister.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07Grandma!

0:35:07 > 0:35:09Yes, well, we need to make a good impression, don't we?

0:35:09 > 0:35:13Albert! No. I'm going to call you Albert.

0:35:13 > 0:35:17Albert of Albert Square. You must be heaven-sent.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20My granddaughter is going to show you the sights

0:35:20 > 0:35:23and answer all your questions, aren't you, Abigail?

0:35:23 > 0:35:26- Wonderful.- Um, yeah, as long as there aren't too many.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28It's just that I've got loads of exams...

0:35:28 > 0:35:31There's some things more important than books, Abigail.

0:35:31 > 0:35:35And I'm sure that Albert will be very grateful, won't you, Albert?

0:35:35 > 0:35:38- Yes, of course. - There y'are. Off you go.

0:35:38 > 0:35:42OK, um...so shall we start with the market?

0:35:42 > 0:35:44- Yes. OK.- Yeah?- Let's go.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47There's just loads of stalls and stuff.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50Am I getting paid for this?

0:35:50 > 0:35:53No. Your reward is a bit of quality time with me.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55Bin, please.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05I thought this stuff cost a bomb.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09I've gone off it, haven't I?

0:36:09 > 0:36:11It's your favourite.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13Not any more.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22- All right. Thanks for coming. - That's all right. You're welcome.

0:37:22 > 0:37:26Not sure how much I can help but I'll give it a go.

0:37:26 > 0:37:29Um, there is something else.

0:37:29 > 0:37:31Isn't there always?

0:37:33 > 0:37:35- It's Ronnie.- What?

0:37:35 > 0:37:38The victim liaison people rang me.

0:37:38 > 0:37:40She's done something, I don't know what,

0:37:40 > 0:37:42but they're not letting her out yet.

0:37:44 > 0:37:49That's good, that's good. One less problem to deal with.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54I'll go sort out Captain Misery in there, eh?

0:37:54 > 0:37:58Hey. Come on, mush. What's this, a sponsored doss or something?

0:37:58 > 0:38:00I've got some goodies for you here, Michael.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03Let's see what we've got. I've got some crisps, peanuts,

0:38:03 > 0:38:05I've got some toffees - you like toffees - some cream soda,

0:38:05 > 0:38:08we'll do an ice cream float, some vanilla thing.

0:38:08 > 0:38:11And I've got some movies. What do you fancy? A thriller?

0:38:11 > 0:38:14- A horror? A comedy? - No, no, no! Stop talking.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31So you going to let me help you now?

0:38:33 > 0:38:35Think we should eat out tonight.

0:38:37 > 0:38:41Check you out, you got kids all over the place,

0:38:41 > 0:38:44two houses to pay for and still enough cash to eat out.

0:38:44 > 0:38:46I'm talking about a bit of pizza, cheesecake,

0:38:46 > 0:38:48not a medieval banquet, Lauren.

0:38:48 > 0:38:50OK.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52Yeah?

0:38:52 > 0:38:56Mmm. As long as I get to choose both toppings and we share.

0:38:56 > 0:38:58Yeah, of course.

0:39:00 > 0:39:03And then there's this thing near the pizza place,

0:39:03 > 0:39:06I thought we should pop in on the way back.

0:39:06 > 0:39:09I'm not going salsa dancing with you, Dad.

0:39:09 > 0:39:15I think it's a social club, sort of get-together thing.

0:39:16 > 0:39:22For kids, you know, your age...ones who've got problems with drink.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26You want me to go to some sort of support group?

0:39:26 > 0:39:29I don't want you to, no. What I want is my daughter back.

0:39:29 > 0:39:30I ain't going.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32I want to go for a pizza with my little girl,

0:39:32 > 0:39:34have a joke and a laugh, Lauren.

0:39:34 > 0:39:40I do, I think you need this. Lauren. Lauren, I think you need it!

0:39:42 > 0:39:47I need to get beneath the skin, feel its human heart. Abigail?

0:39:47 > 0:39:51The real London? Are you sure?

0:39:51 > 0:39:53The poverty, the vermin, the underworld.

0:39:53 > 0:39:56This is where God belongs, don't you think?

0:39:56 > 0:40:00OK, I think you've been reading way too much Oliver Twist.

0:40:00 > 0:40:02Oh, Alice? Hiya.

0:40:06 > 0:40:07Hi.

0:40:09 > 0:40:10She seems troubled.

0:40:10 > 0:40:14She's fine! Not everyone's some orphan or pickpocket.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20All right, Carol, you ain't seen Lauren, have you?

0:40:20 > 0:40:22Yeah. I've just seen her running down there. What's the matter?

0:40:22 > 0:40:25I said to Tanya I'd try and sort her out.

0:40:25 > 0:40:28- It's not gone too well. - Do you want me to talk to her?

0:40:28 > 0:40:30Would you?

0:40:30 > 0:40:32Yeah, yeah, course I will. Leave it to me.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37- Can I ask you something? - Yeah, go on.

0:40:37 > 0:40:39Pops wants to spend some time with Lexi, just them two.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42Does that make me a bad mum if I leave her for a couple of days?

0:40:42 > 0:40:45Are you mad? My mum used to say the only reason she coped with me

0:40:45 > 0:40:47was by knowing when to take a break.

0:40:47 > 0:40:49You know, she still says that actually.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51- So that don't make me a bad mum? - Nah! Average, I'd say.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53- Oi!- But then I can't talk for Lexi, can I?

0:40:53 > 0:40:55Oi. Do you know what, gimme a chip.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57- Uh, go get your own. - Yeah, I will do.

0:40:57 > 0:40:59DOOR CLOSES

0:41:04 > 0:41:06Right, so you're not taking control then?

0:41:06 > 0:41:09- I'm trying! - Yeah. Yeah, looks like it, Al.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13KAT AND ALFIE LAUGH

0:41:16 > 0:41:18We the only ones that find it funny?

0:41:18 > 0:41:20Evidently.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24You think this is a bad day, Alfie? You think I'm having a bad day?

0:41:24 > 0:41:27It's my daughter's first birthday on Friday.

0:41:27 > 0:41:29I'm not going to see her.

0:41:29 > 0:41:31I'm not going to speak to her.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34I can't even send her a gift.

0:41:34 > 0:41:38And you think I'm going to be mollified by an afternoon of

0:41:38 > 0:41:40bad films and even worse food?

0:41:40 > 0:41:43Michael, let me tell you if Scarlett's first birthday's

0:41:43 > 0:41:45anything like Tommy's first, you're well out of it.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48Kat, remember we had to take Tommy for his first booster injection

0:41:48 > 0:41:52and he screamed the place down? You've never heard noise like it.

0:41:57 > 0:41:58Where you going?

0:41:58 > 0:42:01Michael? Michael? Whoa!

0:42:01 > 0:42:05Michael, hold on, mate! Michael!

0:42:05 > 0:42:07Michael! Michael, come on, mate.

0:42:09 > 0:42:10Hey!

0:42:14 > 0:42:18- HE POUNDS ON DOOR - Alice? Alice! Alice?

0:42:18 > 0:42:21- Get out.- Is Alice here? Alice! No, no. Alice!

0:42:21 > 0:42:22- Michael? What's wrong?- Get indoors.

0:42:22 > 0:42:25It's Scarlett's birthday, did you book a check-up,

0:42:25 > 0:42:26or a hospital appointment?

0:42:35 > 0:42:37- ABI:- Promise me you won't tell Grandma Dot

0:42:37 > 0:42:39we didn't go to any galleries or museums.

0:42:39 > 0:42:44I can't lie. But I can keep my mouth shut.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46- Like you.- Me?

0:42:46 > 0:42:49You are covering your troubles with silence.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53What do you call this again?

0:42:53 > 0:42:55Sausage roll.

0:42:55 > 0:42:58- Roll?- Mm-hmm. - My English is very bad.

0:42:58 > 0:43:01And I have to speak at the ecumenical dinner tonight.

0:43:01 > 0:43:03You'll be fine.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06You know lots English words I don't, didn't, like "ecumenical".

0:43:06 > 0:43:10It's frustrating. Wanting to be understood and failing.

0:43:14 > 0:43:16There's always one person who'll listen.

0:43:18 > 0:43:21- LAUGHING:- He should have more important things to do.

0:43:21 > 0:43:23So I shouldn't ask him for help before my speech tonight?

0:43:23 > 0:43:26- I told you, you don't need it. - But you do?

0:43:28 > 0:43:30OK, how about you pray for me and I'll pray for you?

0:43:30 > 0:43:33- I'd feel less stupid. - But what am I praying for?

0:43:33 > 0:43:36That this sausage roll doesn't get cold.

0:43:36 > 0:43:37THEY LAUGH

0:44:02 > 0:44:03What's that still doing here?

0:44:03 > 0:44:06I thought this was going to be done by the time I finished my break.

0:44:06 > 0:44:08- What happened is... - That part isn't in.

0:44:08 > 0:44:10Some goon wrote our order down wrong.

0:44:10 > 0:44:12Got there and it's for a different model.

0:44:12 > 0:44:14This better be a stupid joke, you know.

0:44:14 > 0:44:17I'll tell your dad. I'm going to ring round and see

0:44:17 > 0:44:19if we can find the part from somewhere else but if not...

0:44:19 > 0:44:21- If not then it's two weeks. - Two weeks?!

0:44:23 > 0:44:25Jay, out.

0:44:27 > 0:44:30Oi, oi, oi, I'm not having this.

0:44:30 > 0:44:32Look. Sorry, Phil.

0:44:32 > 0:44:36You think you're the only kid who didn't have a nice cuddly dad?

0:44:36 > 0:44:38Join the club.

0:44:38 > 0:44:43I've also got kids that I don't see.

0:44:43 > 0:44:47Don't mean I don't think about them or care about them.

0:44:47 > 0:44:50There's some things you only get to understand as you get older.

0:44:50 > 0:44:51I can't wait.

0:44:51 > 0:44:54Like walking in another man's shoes.

0:44:54 > 0:44:56Yeah. Not his.

0:44:56 > 0:44:58I can't wait to see the mistakes you make as you get older.

0:44:58 > 0:45:02Yeah, none of them will be as bad as his.

0:45:02 > 0:45:05Listen, why don't you knock off early?

0:45:05 > 0:45:08Go and hang out with your mates or something.

0:45:08 > 0:45:09Thanks, yeah.

0:45:16 > 0:45:19What you done to him? He's worse than ever.

0:45:19 > 0:45:22- I tried my best here, all right? - It's not your fault.

0:45:27 > 0:45:33Michael? Scarlett has got an appointment booked tomorrow.

0:45:40 > 0:45:41Thank you, Alice.

0:45:41 > 0:45:43That's all right.

0:45:43 > 0:45:47You are a good person. You always do the right thing.

0:45:47 > 0:45:49No. That's not true.

0:45:49 > 0:45:51It is.

0:46:04 > 0:46:06I've been looking for you.

0:46:06 > 0:46:10Went on a bus ride. Change of scenery.

0:46:10 > 0:46:14What you doing in here? You been drinking?

0:46:14 > 0:46:15I'm skint.

0:46:15 > 0:46:17Your dad's in bits, Lauren.

0:46:17 > 0:46:19He isn't the only one.

0:46:19 > 0:46:26Why don't you come with me, get out of here? Lauren.

0:46:33 > 0:46:35- I know...- No, no.

0:46:35 > 0:46:39I just want to say, I'm not angry no more.

0:46:39 > 0:46:43I mean, you made your mistakes, I'm probably going to make mine.

0:46:43 > 0:46:46So just go about your business, do what you're doing.

0:46:46 > 0:46:48Hasn't got anything to do with me.

0:47:04 > 0:47:09Sam? Why are you still here?

0:47:09 > 0:47:10Hold-up with the car.

0:47:13 > 0:47:15Dexter isn't exactly pleased.

0:47:17 > 0:47:22I think I need to accept that me and him aren't going to happen

0:47:22 > 0:47:25and just be on my way.

0:47:25 > 0:47:29But before I go, there are a few things I need you to know.

0:47:33 > 0:47:37- Do you want me to get Mum? - Actually, it's you I've come to see.

0:47:37 > 0:47:40I've got something that belongs to you.

0:47:40 > 0:47:43They're Nana Pat's. How did you get them?

0:47:43 > 0:47:48Do you remember how sad I was when my dad died?

0:47:48 > 0:47:52I think it kind of took my mind off it a bit.

0:47:52 > 0:47:54I'm so sorry, Tiff.

0:47:54 > 0:47:57You nicked them?

0:47:57 > 0:47:58Yeah.

0:47:59 > 0:48:02Do you think you can maybe forgive me?

0:48:02 > 0:48:06Well, you gave them back. So, yeah, suppose so.

0:48:06 > 0:48:09Thank you.

0:48:09 > 0:48:14And maybe you should pay me a fine of, say, two quid?

0:48:16 > 0:48:22- The energy of head on...co-collision...?- Uh-huh.

0:48:25 > 0:48:29I hope you haven't been doing Abi's homework for her?

0:48:29 > 0:48:32It must be all Greek to you, all that English.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34Some things need no translation.

0:48:34 > 0:48:36And Abi has helped me with my speech tonight.

0:48:36 > 0:48:38Have I?

0:48:38 > 0:48:41How to listen is as important as how to speak

0:48:41 > 0:48:44but we need to know the right time for each of them.

0:48:44 > 0:48:46Ah, yes, well, my family is very fortunate in me

0:48:46 > 0:48:49because I will always listen to them.

0:48:49 > 0:48:51Even when it seems that I'm not. HE CHUCKLES

0:48:51 > 0:48:52DOORBELL RINGS

0:48:52 > 0:48:57That'll be the Rev Mr Stevens, if you could open the door.

0:48:57 > 0:49:01You can tell him what a fruitful day you've had.

0:49:03 > 0:49:06Did that take your mind off Lauren for a bit?

0:49:06 > 0:49:09Yeah, it did. Thank you.

0:49:09 > 0:49:11You know, he is right.

0:49:11 > 0:49:17There's nothing you can say or do, just wait till she's ready to talk.

0:49:21 > 0:49:23Oh, dear.

0:49:24 > 0:49:2620 years without a word,

0:49:26 > 0:49:29now you're falling over yourself to tell me stuff.

0:49:29 > 0:49:32- I think they call that irony. - Thank you.

0:49:34 > 0:49:40For Dexter. He's everything I hoped my son would be.

0:49:42 > 0:49:44Glad you approve.

0:49:44 > 0:49:47It shows me you two were better off without me.

0:49:47 > 0:49:51Nah, no, we weren't.

0:49:55 > 0:49:59Why do you think I never had any more kids?

0:49:59 > 0:50:00I knew I didn't deserve them.

0:50:02 > 0:50:05Same reason why I never got married.

0:50:05 > 0:50:13Every woman reminded me of...what I'd left behind.

0:50:13 > 0:50:17So why didn't you just come home?

0:50:17 > 0:50:21The further I ran, the harder it got to come back.

0:50:25 > 0:50:28But I'm here now.

0:50:30 > 0:50:32If you're going to have a useless dad,

0:50:32 > 0:50:35you might as well have one who does it properly. Never comes back.

0:50:35 > 0:50:38Not sure either of us would agree with you on that one, mate.

0:50:38 > 0:50:39It's two weeks, can't be that bad.

0:50:41 > 0:50:43- All right. Raise 'em up. - What we drinking to?

0:50:43 > 0:50:46Two weeks, innit? 14 days, 14 nights.

0:50:46 > 0:50:48Two weeks.

0:50:48 > 0:50:50- Two weeks.- Two weeks.

0:50:53 > 0:50:59There's still something there. Just like 20 years ago.

0:50:59 > 0:51:02How dare you walk in here and just...

0:51:02 > 0:51:05I'm not talking about what's right or wrong.

0:51:06 > 0:51:09Or are you saying you don't feel it?

0:51:12 > 0:51:14We kissed, Ava.

0:51:14 > 0:51:16I know you do.

0:51:20 > 0:51:23You think it makes you weak to admit you feel the same?

0:51:25 > 0:51:29- I don't. - Everyone knows how strong you are.

0:51:29 > 0:51:30You should be gone.

0:51:38 > 0:51:42No hating, no excuses...

0:51:45 > 0:51:49..just Sam and Ava.

0:51:51 > 0:51:53Like it used to be.

0:51:59 > 0:52:02You remember how it used to be?

0:52:06 > 0:52:11- Where is everyone then? - Bianca's taken the kids to the park.

0:52:12 > 0:52:14- There you go.- Thanks.

0:52:14 > 0:52:18Must be weird for you, Lauren, having a new stepmum.

0:52:18 > 0:52:20This family excels at weird.

0:52:20 > 0:52:25Fair point. Do you enjoy drinking, Lauren?

0:52:25 > 0:52:27Getting drunk, I mean?

0:52:27 > 0:52:29I'm not being rude but can we just not?

0:52:30 > 0:52:34All anyone talks about is drink. I'm sick of it.

0:52:34 > 0:52:37Drinking or talking about it?

0:52:37 > 0:52:40Did my dad ask you to talk to me or what?

0:52:40 > 0:52:42CAROL SIGHS

0:52:42 > 0:52:45He shouldn't have.

0:52:45 > 0:52:48Maybe he thought, after everything I've been through -

0:52:48 > 0:52:50still going through - you might listen.

0:52:50 > 0:52:53Cos having a few drinks, falling over, having a laugh,

0:52:53 > 0:52:55that's one thing, isn't it?

0:52:55 > 0:53:00But this, Lauren, you, Billie, that's different.

0:53:00 > 0:53:05Billie...what happened to him could happen to anyone,

0:53:05 > 0:53:08- he wasn't an alcoholic. - And you are?

0:53:08 > 0:53:10No! No, that's not what I'm saying.

0:53:10 > 0:53:12I'm saying it could happen to anyone!

0:53:12 > 0:53:15But he wasn't anyone, was he, Lauren? He was your cousin.

0:53:15 > 0:53:16My son.

0:53:16 > 0:53:22And what I don't understand is after going through all that, seeing me,

0:53:22 > 0:53:26Bianca, your dad, go through it all, you carry on drinking...

0:53:26 > 0:53:31- It's not the same. - ..more and more. It makes no sense!

0:53:31 > 0:53:33I mean, how can you do that?

0:53:35 > 0:53:40I don't know. I don't know.

0:53:43 > 0:53:47Max. Max! How's Lauren getting on?

0:53:47 > 0:53:50Yeah...we're going out for a pizza later.

0:53:50 > 0:53:54Lauren! Lauren, come back! I'm just trying to make you understand.

0:53:54 > 0:53:57Lauren? Lauren? What's wrong? Where're you going?

0:53:57 > 0:54:00Please! There is no point trying to get me to stop. All right?

0:54:00 > 0:54:03Do you not think I would if I could? I can't.

0:54:03 > 0:54:05All right? I can't stop!

0:54:14 > 0:54:17Mum? Mum?

0:54:18 > 0:54:21- Mum?- Hey, babe.

0:54:21 > 0:54:24Have you seen Sam? The car's still parked up outside.

0:54:24 > 0:54:28Another two weeks they said it's going to be. Two weeks, Mum.

0:54:28 > 0:54:32It's like some terrible nightmare that's never going to end.

0:54:32 > 0:54:35You know what I'm going to do though, I'm just going to ignore that man

0:54:35 > 0:54:38so hard he's going to start to doubt his own existence.

0:54:38 > 0:54:40Anyway, Mum, listen, lend me £20?

0:54:40 > 0:54:42I'm going out to eat with them lot.

0:54:42 > 0:54:46- Yeah, course, babe.- Thank you. - Look, just keep it.

0:54:46 > 0:54:50- You've been working really hard lately.- Thank you!

0:54:50 > 0:54:53- You all right, yeah?- Mm-hmm. - What's wrong?

0:54:53 > 0:54:55Oh, just my tooth.

0:54:55 > 0:54:56Do you want me to stay with you?

0:54:56 > 0:54:58You don't want to stay in with your mum.

0:54:58 > 0:55:00That is true. But I just feel so sorry for you

0:55:00 > 0:55:03- with all your library books and your knitting and that...- Get out!

0:55:03 > 0:55:07- All right, see you later, yeah? - See you.

0:55:21 > 0:55:25Come on, Morgan, the bread won't toast itself...

0:55:25 > 0:55:27What have you done?!

0:55:27 > 0:55:29I know. I know! I'm late.

0:55:29 > 0:55:31It's all right. Luke's on the stall.

0:55:31 > 0:55:33Oh...did Lucy...?

0:55:33 > 0:55:35No, I did.

0:55:35 > 0:55:37You did such a good job last week, I thought

0:55:37 > 0:55:39I'd school you in the art of management so that whenever me

0:55:39 > 0:55:42and Denise fancy a weekend away or something, you can take over.

0:55:42 > 0:55:45Come on, I'll treat you to breakfast in the caff.

0:55:48 > 0:55:51- You all right?- Yeah.

0:55:51 > 0:55:52What's all this then?

0:55:52 > 0:55:54What's all what? I'm ironing a shirt.

0:55:54 > 0:55:56I'm seeing my daughter, I want to look my best.

0:55:56 > 0:55:59You sure they're going to be there?

0:55:59 > 0:56:01Yeah, 9.30.

0:56:01 > 0:56:05Right. You thought about what you're going to say?

0:56:05 > 0:56:07No.

0:56:07 > 0:56:10Listen, if you need someone to go with I'll just give Bianca a ring...

0:56:10 > 0:56:13No. That's unnecessary, but kind.

0:56:13 > 0:56:15Right.

0:56:22 > 0:56:25Eggs and bacon sarnie, please. And a cup of tea.

0:56:46 > 0:56:50Ava! Ava, wait. I'll be back in a sec.

0:56:51 > 0:56:55Are you really going to act like it was some awkward one-night stand?

0:56:55 > 0:56:56It was you.

0:56:56 > 0:57:00I'm not going to sit in there pretending that we've never met.

0:57:00 > 0:57:02But I thought you were worried about Dexter.

0:57:02 > 0:57:07I thought he could come in there any minute. Look at us.

0:57:08 > 0:57:13Come back in. I got the table set up all nice.

0:57:13 > 0:57:16Cup of tea. Sarnie on the way.

0:57:16 > 0:57:17Be like a date.

0:57:21 > 0:57:23I wish I could.

0:57:23 > 0:57:28Like I said, you've got potential - if you keep your cool.

0:57:28 > 0:57:29Ice cold, yeah?

0:57:35 > 0:57:37- So you're not the plumber then. - You got to hurry up.

0:57:37 > 0:57:40Winston's looking after the stall while I dropped Tommy off.

0:57:40 > 0:57:42He'll have to look after it a little bit longer.

0:57:42 > 0:57:45What I don't understand, Morgan, is why you didn't turn the tap off.

0:57:45 > 0:57:46I pulled the plug out!

0:57:46 > 0:57:49We did taps when you were about four, didn't we?

0:57:49 > 0:57:50DOORBELL RINGS

0:57:50 > 0:57:51Don't give me that look. It won't work.

0:57:51 > 0:57:53Come on, he won't be happy.

0:57:53 > 0:57:55I can't go anywhere till the plumber gets here, can I?!

0:57:56 > 0:57:58Plumber?

0:57:58 > 0:58:01Oh, yeah. Come in.

0:58:01 > 0:58:04It's like having a paddling pool at home. She loves it really.

0:58:04 > 0:58:06Yeah, the sink's blocked.

0:58:08 > 0:58:10- Who's this then?- The plumber.

0:58:10 > 0:58:11Is the water off?

0:58:11 > 0:58:13Yeah. No thanks to Morgan here.

0:58:15 > 0:58:17- He's fit.- What?

0:58:17 > 0:58:19- She said "fit."- Morgan!

0:58:19 > 0:58:20THEY LAUGH

0:58:22 > 0:58:24Breakfast?

0:58:24 > 0:58:26- Not hungry.- Oh come on.

0:58:26 > 0:58:30You can't turn me down now I'm turning into a domestic goddess.

0:58:42 > 0:58:45Michael. Good luck, mate.

0:58:45 > 0:58:46Taxi!

0:58:51 > 0:58:53Where are your tools?

0:58:56 > 0:58:59When you're this good, you don't need tools.

0:59:02 > 0:59:04Well, he's got a right to go.

0:59:04 > 0:59:07Yeah, I know. But if Janine won't let him see Scarlett here

0:59:07 > 0:59:10she's hardly going to let him see her in hospital.

0:59:10 > 0:59:11What, do you think he'll kick off?

0:59:11 > 0:59:13DOORBELL RINGS

0:59:13 > 0:59:14- KAT SIGHS - You don't know with him.

0:59:14 > 0:59:17I think this little man might have been the problem.

0:59:17 > 0:59:21He's not mine. I've got no soldiers in my life at the moment.

0:59:21 > 0:59:23KAT LAUGHS

0:59:24 > 0:59:27- Plumber.- Oh, sorry, you've already sent someone.

0:59:27 > 0:59:30Eh? No, there's only me, love. One-man show.

0:59:33 > 0:59:36- Er, can you come in a minute?- Yeah.

0:59:39 > 0:59:41He's in comms. Doesn't need a gun.

0:59:41 > 0:59:43Morgan, come here, babe.

0:59:43 > 0:59:46If I was in a war zone, I'd want a little bit more than a telephone.

0:59:46 > 0:59:48- Morgan, come here now! - I didn't put it in the sink.

0:59:48 > 0:59:50Come here!

0:59:50 > 0:59:51Who's that?

0:59:51 > 0:59:53He's the plumber. Who are you?

1:00:00 > 1:00:06All right. I'm not the plumber. I'm Derek's mate. Carl.

1:00:06 > 1:00:09- You called me the other day. - So why lie?

1:00:09 > 1:00:12- It weren't exactly a lie. - I think you better leave.

1:00:12 > 1:00:15It was just a bit of fun. And I did fix the sink.

1:00:15 > 1:00:18- There's still a call out charge. - Yeah, yeah, you'll get it, right.

1:00:18 > 1:00:21As soon as we find out if we've got a nutter on our hands here.

1:00:21 > 1:00:24I'm just looking for Derek. He owes me dinner.

1:00:24 > 1:00:27- Well, he's dead, so good luck.- Kat!

1:00:27 > 1:00:28Well, he is!

1:00:28 > 1:00:31What?! When?

1:00:33 > 1:00:39We're creating a universe. A little sanctuary at the heart of Walford.

1:00:39 > 1:00:43Where bills and stress and work don't exist.

1:00:43 > 1:00:45I thought it was just a restaurant.

1:00:45 > 1:00:48Peter, that is the difference between us and them.

1:00:51 > 1:00:53Hey, Tanya! How's Lauren doing?

1:00:53 > 1:00:56- Yeah...she's fine. - Yeah, course she is.

1:00:56 > 1:00:58If there's anything I can do...

1:00:58 > 1:01:00Right, come on you. Let's get cracking.

1:01:00 > 1:01:02I'm training him up in the family business.

1:01:02 > 1:01:04Always knew he was management material.

1:01:04 > 1:01:06Hope Lauren's up and about.

1:01:08 > 1:01:11Listen, I know that part's going to turn up. I just want it done.

1:01:11 > 1:01:13So we can get rid of that chief, innit.

1:01:13 > 1:01:15You need to be patient, my child, all right.

1:01:15 > 1:01:17We're building something here.

1:01:17 > 1:01:20One day we're going to have a fleet of cars stretching to whole new horizons.

1:01:20 > 1:01:23- Yeah?- Yeah. - Dex and Jay's Motor Paradise.

1:01:23 > 1:01:25- Yeah, Jay and Dex's motor... - No, no, Dex and Jay.

1:01:25 > 1:01:28All right, all right, keep it down, will you?!

1:01:28 > 1:01:31I'm not here to start. I thought you might struggle so...

1:01:34 > 1:01:36Here's an advance...

1:01:36 > 1:01:37We don't need it.

1:01:37 > 1:01:38Yeah. We do need it.

1:01:38 > 1:01:43You're waiting on the money to sort out the holiday, right?

1:01:43 > 1:01:45- So take it.- We're fine. - No, we're not.

1:01:51 > 1:01:53Did I teach you nothing, eh?

1:01:58 > 1:02:03Good. Well...let me know when it's done.

1:02:09 > 1:02:12He was one of those characters you think are going to live for ever.

1:02:12 > 1:02:15Like he could get hit by a train and just pop back up again.

1:02:15 > 1:02:17Like a cartoon.

1:02:17 > 1:02:18Pretty nasty cartoon.

1:02:20 > 1:02:22So how did you know him?

1:02:22 > 1:02:23From round my estate.

1:02:25 > 1:02:28He gave me my first driving lesson when I was a boy.

1:02:28 > 1:02:31And consequently, my first run in with the police.

1:02:31 > 1:02:32The car was nicked.

1:02:32 > 1:02:33He always was dodgy.

1:02:33 > 1:02:36He always did like hanging around with dodgy characters.

1:02:36 > 1:02:38I bet he was a great uncle.

1:02:39 > 1:02:43Yeah, he was. I loved having him around, actually.

1:02:45 > 1:02:46He lived at Kat's...

1:02:46 > 1:02:48Ah, now I know what you mean about him

1:02:48 > 1:02:50hanging round with dodgy characters.

1:02:50 > 1:02:52THEY LAUGH, KAT SARCASTICALLY

1:02:52 > 1:02:54Alice and Joey live there an' all.

1:02:55 > 1:02:57How did you come by my number?

1:02:57 > 1:02:59I just found it. It was in a box of Derek's.

1:02:59 > 1:03:01Alice has got it now, I think.

1:03:01 > 1:03:04Right, we really should be getting on.

1:03:04 > 1:03:06Let him finish his tea.

1:03:06 > 1:03:08Winston's going to kill us.

1:03:08 > 1:03:09It's time I headed off.

1:03:09 > 1:03:12Would have been nice to see Alice again though.

1:03:12 > 1:03:14What, you know her?

1:03:14 > 1:03:16She just lives up there. Number 23.

1:03:19 > 1:03:21Thanks for the tea. Perfect.

1:03:25 > 1:03:28What is wrong with you, saying all that to one of Derek's mates?!

1:03:28 > 1:03:31You've changed your tune a bit, haven't you?

1:03:44 > 1:03:46Annabel!

1:03:46 > 1:03:47Sorry, I don't...

1:03:47 > 1:03:52Yeah, I'm...I'm Michael Moon. I'm Scarlett Moon's dad.

1:03:52 > 1:03:54She's got a 9.30 appointment here.

1:03:54 > 1:03:56Oh. It would be good to see Janine again. Is she here?

1:03:56 > 1:03:59- Not yet, no. - Well, I'll keep an eye out.

1:03:59 > 1:04:01DOOR BEEPS

1:04:28 > 1:04:29Hello?

1:04:30 > 1:04:34You must be Alice. You've got his eyes. But not his chin.

1:04:34 > 1:04:36Praise the Lord.

1:04:36 > 1:04:38I don't follow.

1:04:38 > 1:04:40HE SIGHS

1:04:40 > 1:04:45I was a friend of your dad's. I've only just found out, actually.

1:04:45 > 1:04:47I'm sorry for your loss.

1:04:47 > 1:04:49You knew my dad?

1:04:49 > 1:04:54Not only that. I'm kind of your guardian angel.

1:04:55 > 1:04:58- Oh, are you now? - SHE LAUGHS

1:04:58 > 1:05:01No, Tan, it just sounds like meddling.

1:05:01 > 1:05:04- No, it's more of a... - Sorry, am I interrupting something?

1:05:04 > 1:05:06Course not. Tan just wanted to talk about Lauren.

1:05:06 > 1:05:09- Yeah. At least one of us does. - I just don't think it's a good idea.

1:05:09 > 1:05:11- What isn't? - Tan, she wants to set Lauren up.

1:05:11 > 1:05:13What, on a date?

1:05:13 > 1:05:15No. No, it's more of a sort of catch up, you know.

1:05:15 > 1:05:18- With an old friend. - That's a good idea. Who with?

1:05:18 > 1:05:20Peter Beale. You know, Ian's boy.

1:05:20 > 1:05:23She should be keeping her head down not running round after boys.

1:05:23 > 1:05:27She needs something, Max. She's struggling.

1:05:27 > 1:05:29Yeah? Well, I'm not getting involved, Tan.

1:05:29 > 1:05:31You just don't like him.

1:05:31 > 1:05:33Well, look, if Tanya thinks he's a nice boy,

1:05:33 > 1:05:37and he's interested, then we should go for it.

1:05:42 > 1:05:46He hated me at first! On account of my liberal views.

1:05:46 > 1:05:47So what changed?

1:05:47 > 1:05:49My liberal views!

1:05:49 > 1:05:51THEY LAUGH

1:05:51 > 1:05:53Over time he got to trust me.

1:05:53 > 1:05:55That's why he said, you know,

1:05:55 > 1:05:57if anything happened to him to look out for you.

1:05:57 > 1:06:00I've got Joey for that.

1:06:00 > 1:06:03Yeah, he wasn't quite convinced Joey was up to it. No offence.

1:06:03 > 1:06:07That's fair enough. He has changed a bit since then. He's grown up.

1:06:07 > 1:06:10That's good to hear.

1:06:10 > 1:06:12So Derek lived with you, here?

1:06:12 > 1:06:15Yeah. Joey's got his old room now.

1:06:15 > 1:06:17He would have liked that.

1:06:17 > 1:06:20- Do you mind if I use your bathroom? - Yeah, sure, it's just upstairs.

1:06:54 > 1:06:56You OK?

1:06:56 > 1:07:03I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't be in here but I just...

1:07:03 > 1:07:07I just wanted to get a sense of him. Do you know what I mean?

1:07:08 > 1:07:10Yeah, I do.

1:07:10 > 1:07:13It's weird to think if Bianca hadn't found my number in that

1:07:13 > 1:07:16little box I would never have known.

1:07:16 > 1:07:18Wonder if there's anything else of yours in there?

1:07:30 > 1:07:33It's mainly pictures and that. But have a look.

1:07:33 > 1:07:35Thanks.

1:07:40 > 1:07:44Strange, eh, going through a dead man's possessions.

1:07:44 > 1:07:47Makes me feel close to him.

1:07:47 > 1:07:52Yeah, it does. Must have been hard for you.

1:07:52 > 1:07:55Going through his stuff when he passed away.

1:07:55 > 1:07:58Yeah, it was awful at first.

1:07:58 > 1:08:02All his clothes still smelt like him.

1:08:02 > 1:08:03I don't know, after a while...

1:08:03 > 1:08:06There's so much of his stuff dotted about everywhere

1:08:06 > 1:08:08- it sort of felt like a treasure hunt.- Oh, yeah?

1:08:08 > 1:08:13Yeah. Like Auntie Carol gave me that box after Ian gave it to her.

1:08:13 > 1:08:15Auntie Carol! Yeah...

1:08:15 > 1:08:17Dad's sister. Bianca's mum.

1:08:17 > 1:08:21- So that would make Ian... - Oh, no, we're not related.

1:08:21 > 1:08:23But Ian had the box?

1:08:23 > 1:08:27Yeah, he took over dad's lock-up to set up a restaurant.

1:08:27 > 1:08:29And just found it hidden away somewhere.

1:08:31 > 1:08:33Alice!

1:08:33 > 1:08:34We're in here!

1:08:37 > 1:08:40What are you doing here?

1:08:40 > 1:08:42Oh, do you two know each other?

1:08:42 > 1:08:45Alice was just showing me Derek's old room.

1:08:45 > 1:08:46Why?

1:08:49 > 1:08:51I better go.

1:08:51 > 1:08:55Oh, no, stay. It was nice meeting somebody that knows my dad.

1:08:55 > 1:08:58I'll see you again. I promise.

1:08:58 > 1:09:00- OK.- See you.- Bye.

1:09:01 > 1:09:03Isn't he lovely?

1:09:05 > 1:09:08There's been no call, no? No cancellation?

1:09:08 > 1:09:11- No nothing? Annabel. - Hey. Is Janine here yet?

1:09:11 > 1:09:14No, she isn't. Have you heard anything?

1:09:14 > 1:09:17Well, this was for an hour ago. They won't see you now, I'm afraid.

1:09:17 > 1:09:19She wouldn't miss this appointment. She came, didn't she?

1:09:19 > 1:09:22- You snuck her in!- You're not allowed to go in there. That's ICU.

1:09:22 > 1:09:26- Her appointment isn't even in there! - I want to see my daughter!

1:09:26 > 1:09:28You need to calm down.

1:09:28 > 1:09:30She was supposed to be here. I'm supposed to see her.

1:09:30 > 1:09:32Did she know that you'd be here?

1:09:46 > 1:09:48So that's it then. We can really go?

1:09:48 > 1:09:51- The world's our oyster. Ish. Ish. - No, it is. It is.

1:09:51 > 1:09:53We can go and get sunglasses, bikinis.

1:09:53 > 1:09:55BOTH: Bikini shopping!

1:09:55 > 1:09:56THEY GIGGLE EXCITEDLY

1:09:56 > 1:10:00Might treat myself to a new pair of trunks.

1:10:00 > 1:10:02- What do you reckon? Dex, what do you reckon?- What?

1:10:02 > 1:10:04New pair of trunks.

1:10:04 > 1:10:07Oh come on, Dex. Just think of the cocktails!

1:10:07 > 1:10:09I don't like owing him, man.

1:10:09 > 1:10:12Mate, will you change the record? He's just paid for the car.

1:10:12 > 1:10:17Yeah, innit. Dex? I'll go, I'll go.

1:10:17 > 1:10:18Don't lose that.

1:10:18 > 1:10:21We won't. We're going away with this.

1:10:23 > 1:10:24- Silverware.- Silverware?

1:10:24 > 1:10:26OK. Now pay attention, OK?

1:10:26 > 1:10:28Starting from the outside, working your way in,

1:10:28 > 1:10:30in the order of the courses.

1:10:30 > 1:10:33Knives go on the right-hand side, forks go on the left-hand side.

1:10:33 > 1:10:37Serrated edges on the knives, facing in. OK?

1:10:37 > 1:10:41Yep. Bit neater.

1:10:41 > 1:10:43That's a dessert spoon!

1:10:43 > 1:10:46Course. I should have innately known where a dessert spoon goes.

1:10:46 > 1:10:49- Where you going?- I need a break. I do get one, don't I?

1:10:49 > 1:10:51Under EU law?

1:10:51 > 1:10:54Peter. I was just coming to find you.

1:10:54 > 1:10:56Oh, yeah? Everything all right?

1:10:56 > 1:10:59Yeah. It's just that you were asking about Lauren earlier...

1:10:59 > 1:11:01I was.

1:11:01 > 1:11:03Yeah, that was sweet of you.

1:11:03 > 1:11:04I only said hello.

1:11:04 > 1:11:06No, I know. It's just...

1:11:06 > 1:11:09She's been having a really bad time of it lately.

1:11:09 > 1:11:11- And she could use some company. - Company?

1:11:11 > 1:11:15Yeah, you know, nothing serious. You know, not a date or anything.

1:11:15 > 1:11:18It's just...maybe if you could take her to lunch. You know...

1:11:18 > 1:11:19Talk about the old times.

1:11:19 > 1:11:21Come on, Peter, you've had enough time, yeah.

1:11:21 > 1:11:24- Please. She really needs help. - I'm sorry, we're really busy.

1:11:24 > 1:11:26- Service is in less than an hour. - Yeah.

1:11:26 > 1:11:27- I'll...think about it.- Please do.

1:11:27 > 1:11:30It's just that she was so happy when you used to be around, you know.

1:11:30 > 1:11:32I know she never showed it but...

1:11:32 > 1:11:34She was still my little girl then.

1:11:34 > 1:11:36I don't think Max sees it that way.

1:11:36 > 1:11:40Look, let me worry about Max. Please, will you think about it?

1:11:40 > 1:11:44- Look, I've really got to get back to work.- Yes, of course.

1:11:49 > 1:11:52She wants me to take Lauren out.

1:11:52 > 1:11:54You said no, right?

1:11:54 > 1:11:56Oh, come on, the girl's a lost cause.

1:11:56 > 1:11:58So were you, once.

1:12:00 > 1:12:01You shouldn't be here.

1:12:01 > 1:12:03I just want to say something.

1:12:03 > 1:12:05Well, make it quick.

1:12:05 > 1:12:07You know how I said I'd be gone, as soon as my car was fixed?

1:12:07 > 1:12:10Yep.

1:12:10 > 1:12:14Well, I'm not. I'm staying.

1:12:14 > 1:12:16Cos last night was too amazing not to.

1:12:29 > 1:12:30- LOLA:- Dex! Please!

1:12:30 > 1:12:32No, man, he don't even care about us.

1:12:32 > 1:12:34He only gave me that money so he could suck up to me.

1:12:34 > 1:12:37Yeah, well, I don't business. Money is money, innit.

1:12:37 > 1:12:38You get it, you spend it.

1:12:38 > 1:12:40I do business. And what do you mean money's money?

1:12:40 > 1:12:42It don't matter where it comes from?

1:12:42 > 1:12:45Well, not to me, no. You need to think of the holiday.

1:12:45 > 1:12:47Dex, please. Come on.

1:12:52 > 1:12:54Right, tell her.

1:12:54 > 1:12:56Tell her what?

1:12:56 > 1:12:57About this Carl coming round.

1:12:57 > 1:13:00He was really nice! We spoke about Dad. Said he misses him.

1:13:00 > 1:13:02- Oh, that's lovely.- And?

1:13:02 > 1:13:07And what? We spoke about Dad. I don't see what the problem is.

1:13:07 > 1:13:10Alice, when was the first time you saw this Carl?

1:13:10 > 1:13:12- Today.- Yeah, same!

1:13:12 > 1:13:16Have you forgotten why you told him where she lives?

1:13:16 > 1:13:19"Oh, it'd be so nice to see Alice again."

1:13:20 > 1:13:22Oh, yeah, he did say that.

1:13:22 > 1:13:25Right, thank you. He lied. Why?

1:13:25 > 1:13:28I think we should be more careful before we tell him

1:13:28 > 1:13:31our life stories, yeah?

1:13:38 > 1:13:41Pint, please, love. Lager. Whatever's coldest.

1:13:41 > 1:13:45Please, I'm just asking you to have a word with him.

1:13:45 > 1:13:47Getting Carol involved backfired, didn't it?

1:13:47 > 1:13:48I think this could be worth a shot.

1:13:48 > 1:13:50No Tan, all right? I already told you. No.

1:13:50 > 1:13:52But he won't do it, cos he's worried about you.

1:13:52 > 1:13:54That's good. She needs support.

1:13:54 > 1:13:56Not us behind the scenes, pulling all the strings.

1:13:56 > 1:13:58I'm running the salon. You're working all the time.

1:13:58 > 1:14:01She sits in that flat doing nothing all day. That's not support, is it?

1:14:01 > 1:14:04No, Tan, all right? Orange juice, please.

1:14:04 > 1:14:05Max? Oh, well, great, thanks.

1:14:05 > 1:14:08It's always nice to get a reminder of why we're not together any more.

1:14:08 > 1:14:11Listen, the secret to being a good landlord is being a

1:14:11 > 1:14:15good drinking companion but without the drinking, all right?

1:14:15 > 1:14:16- OK.- Don't listen to him.

1:14:16 > 1:14:19You don't want to be stuck behind a bar your whole life.

1:14:19 > 1:14:22Oi, there's nothing wrong with that, OK.

1:14:22 > 1:14:24Here we go, you got the tractor here.

1:14:24 > 1:14:26Oh, no, have you broke it? You broke it!

1:14:26 > 1:14:28I've got to be the Chief Tractor Fixer now, haven't I?

1:14:28 > 1:14:30Hello, my little darling!

1:14:31 > 1:14:33Michael.

1:14:34 > 1:14:36How did it go?

1:14:52 > 1:14:54Is it Max Branning?

1:14:54 > 1:14:57Yeah. Sorry, I can't place you.

1:14:57 > 1:15:00Oh, we haven't met. I'm...I'm after a car.

1:15:00 > 1:15:03Oh, right. I'm just meeting the missus for lunch.

1:15:03 > 1:15:05- Back open in about an hour. - Right you are. I'll nip in later.

1:15:05 > 1:15:06All right.

1:15:06 > 1:15:09Hey, you wouldn't know where I can find a fella called Ian?

1:15:09 > 1:15:11Runs a restaurant.

1:15:11 > 1:15:12Yeah, that'll be Scarlett's.

1:15:12 > 1:15:15- You go out of there, do a left, Turpin Road.- Thanks.

1:15:15 > 1:15:17All right. Listen, make sure you pop by later, yeah.

1:15:17 > 1:15:21Yeah, I will. All the best, Max.

1:15:31 > 1:15:34- Hiya.- You all right?

1:15:34 > 1:15:36Um...have you got a sec?

1:15:36 > 1:15:38- Yeah, come in.- Cheers.

1:15:44 > 1:15:48Sorry about the mess. Can't get the staff these days.

1:15:48 > 1:15:50Look, I was wondering...

1:15:50 > 1:15:52I wondered if you fancy going out for lunch some time.

1:15:52 > 1:15:56In public? Have you seen the state of me?

1:15:57 > 1:15:59You look great.

1:15:59 > 1:16:04Anyway, I thought it might be nice, you know, bit of a catch up.

1:16:04 > 1:16:06Yeah. It would.

1:16:06 > 1:16:08So that's a yes?

1:16:08 > 1:16:09SHE GROANS

1:16:09 > 1:16:11You OK?

1:16:11 > 1:16:12Yeah, I'm fine.

1:16:12 > 1:16:15Lauren, is there something you're not telling me?

1:16:15 > 1:16:17I don't have to tell you anything.

1:16:17 > 1:16:18Look, shall I call your mum?

1:16:20 > 1:16:23- What are you after?- After?

1:16:23 > 1:16:27It's not like before, all right. With all the stupid love poems...

1:16:27 > 1:16:28I know that, I don't mind.

1:16:28 > 1:16:31Yeah, well, I do, all right! Every time you look at me.

1:16:31 > 1:16:34I can't compete with the lovesick memory that you've got in your head.

1:16:34 > 1:16:36It's not like that.

1:16:36 > 1:16:39Can you get out, please? Can you get out?!

1:16:45 > 1:16:50MICHAEL: Orange one first. Orange one first.

1:16:50 > 1:16:51I can't do it.

1:16:51 > 1:16:54Yeah, you can. That goes there and then you've got orange.

1:16:54 > 1:16:57- You have to make sure that they fit. - No!- That one then.

1:16:57 > 1:16:59This way.

1:16:59 > 1:17:03- That's good. Do you love your mummy? - Big one.

1:17:03 > 1:17:06- Do you love your mummy?- This one.

1:17:06 > 1:17:08- Do you love your mummy?- This one.

1:17:08 > 1:17:11I love my mummy. That way.

1:17:13 > 1:17:17Cos I've got something to tell you. I'm your daddy.

1:17:18 > 1:17:19Michael!

1:17:24 > 1:17:28And you are my son.

1:17:28 > 1:17:31- Yeah.- Yeah.- Do that.

1:17:31 > 1:17:34Yeah. Clever.

1:17:34 > 1:17:36There you go. Looks nothing like it.

1:17:38 > 1:17:40Funny name for a bloke.

1:17:40 > 1:17:42Yeah, it was named after someone's daughter.

1:17:42 > 1:17:45- You just open? - Yeah. You live round here?

1:17:45 > 1:17:48Nah. I can still smell the paint.

1:17:48 > 1:17:52Must have cost quite a bit of money to set up a place like this.

1:17:52 > 1:17:54Yeah. No expense spared.

1:17:54 > 1:17:57What's the rent on a place like this?

1:17:57 > 1:18:00Don't worry, I'm not from the HMRC.

1:18:00 > 1:18:01I pay my taxes.

1:18:01 > 1:18:05You'd be a fool to say otherwise, eh? Good man.

1:18:05 > 1:18:07Can I interest you in some lunch?

1:18:08 > 1:18:11Yeah, I'm looking for Derek Branning. Do you know him?

1:18:13 > 1:18:14No...

1:18:15 > 1:18:18No. Good meeting you.

1:18:34 > 1:18:35Nice place.

1:18:38 > 1:18:43Sorry, what was your name, if it's not Scarlett?

1:18:43 > 1:18:46I've actually got quite a lot to do. It's Ian.

1:18:47 > 1:18:49Tell me, Ian, are you open for dinner?

1:18:49 > 1:18:51- Yeah. Course.- Good.

1:18:53 > 1:18:57When I went inside, Derek said he'd take me for dinner when I got out.

1:18:57 > 1:19:00Anywhere I wanted.

1:19:00 > 1:19:01So I'll come here.

1:19:02 > 1:19:05Well, there are nicer places.

1:19:05 > 1:19:09What are you talking about? This is your livelihood.

1:19:09 > 1:19:12You should have some pride!

1:19:12 > 1:19:15Come on, give me the sales pitch!

1:19:16 > 1:19:19This...is a house of fine dining.

1:19:20 > 1:19:26With a selection of fine wines. Expensive silverware.

1:19:28 > 1:19:32Exotic linens with which to wipe your sated lips.

1:19:34 > 1:19:36Every need met.

1:19:37 > 1:19:42Every want indulged, every anxiety silenced.

1:19:50 > 1:19:55Look, I've been thinking, this Derek fella, if he's paying,

1:19:55 > 1:19:59why don't you try and squeeze as much out of him as you can

1:19:59 > 1:20:01and go somewhere really nice?

1:20:01 > 1:20:03"This Derek fella."

1:20:05 > 1:20:08There was an earthquake, the day they sent me down.

1:20:08 > 1:20:12Derek said it was the gods applauding my sentence.

1:20:12 > 1:20:17I thought it was a coincidence but people love their superstitions.

1:20:17 > 1:20:20- Are you superstitious, Ian? - Sometimes.

1:20:20 > 1:20:23Well, then you might argue it was fate that drew me here.

1:20:23 > 1:20:28See, there I was trying to get hold of Derek, when my mobile rings...

1:20:28 > 1:20:31Look, I really have got things to do...

1:20:31 > 1:20:37It's a woman called Bianca. I know you know her.

1:20:37 > 1:20:40Yeah, she's sort of family. She's my niece.

1:20:40 > 1:20:43There you go! Fate!

1:20:45 > 1:20:49So one day, Bianca is on the phone to me, the next day we're

1:20:49 > 1:20:53organising my slap up meal with Derek Branning

1:20:53 > 1:20:56who she knows and you don't.

1:20:58 > 1:21:00Yeah. It does sound strange, doesn't it?

1:21:00 > 1:21:02To me, it's all coincidence.

1:21:04 > 1:21:06Pleasure meeting you, Ian.

1:21:08 > 1:21:12Although, you are the least inquisitive man I've ever met.

1:21:12 > 1:21:14Really? How?

1:21:14 > 1:21:17A fella tells you he's just got out of prison,

1:21:17 > 1:21:20you don't want to know what he did.

1:21:20 > 1:21:24A fella asks your name, you don't ask for his.

1:21:24 > 1:21:28That same fella tells you he's been chatting to your niece,

1:21:28 > 1:21:30you don't even want to know why...

1:21:30 > 1:21:33Look, I really have got work to do. I'm busy.

1:21:33 > 1:21:37Book me a spot. 8.00. Usual place.

1:21:37 > 1:21:40Under the name Carl White.

1:21:45 > 1:21:47Consider it done.

1:21:48 > 1:21:52Oh, and keep some bubbly on ice.

1:21:52 > 1:21:56Cos between you and me, Derek owes me money.

1:21:57 > 1:22:00£10,000.

1:22:00 > 1:22:02Ten?

1:22:02 > 1:22:06Yeah, he's been keeping it for me in a little box all this time.

1:22:11 > 1:22:13See you tonight, Ian.

1:22:28 > 1:22:30I got your message.

1:22:30 > 1:22:33All right? Where's Kirsty?

1:22:33 > 1:22:35I came out on my own.

1:22:35 > 1:22:37Lauren, you haven't...

1:22:39 > 1:22:41Peter asked me out.

1:22:41 > 1:22:45Oh, did he? Oh, that's nice, isn't it?

1:22:45 > 1:22:50Oh, he's still keen, then. Yeah, so where's he going to take you?

1:22:50 > 1:22:51I haven't said yes yet.

1:22:51 > 1:22:54No, right. Yeah. Just take it easy, eh?

1:22:55 > 1:22:59He's a nice lad, though, isn't he? You'd have fun.

1:22:59 > 1:23:00Yeah.

1:23:05 > 1:23:09Right, guess that's it, then. I'm going on a date tonight.

1:23:16 > 1:23:19Right, come on you. Let's get you back on the stall.

1:23:19 > 1:23:20I thought I was here today?

1:23:20 > 1:23:23You've learned enough for one day. Go on, go and get changed.

1:23:27 > 1:23:30So, the outside door is locked at 11 o'clock sharp.

1:23:30 > 1:23:33Breakfast is served between 7.30 and 9

1:23:33 > 1:23:34and we don't do lunch.

1:23:35 > 1:23:36Normally.

1:23:37 > 1:23:40Ham and mustard. Extra spicy.

1:23:40 > 1:23:44Oh, thanks but I'm not hungry.

1:23:44 > 1:23:45You could have fooled me.

1:23:45 > 1:23:47It looks perfect.

1:23:47 > 1:23:51I know. No women, men, drugs or pets in your bedchambers.

1:23:51 > 1:23:55And if these rules are infracted upon, you will be ejected. Clear?

1:23:55 > 1:23:57Sort of.

1:23:57 > 1:24:01Good. So, here are your keys. Enjoy your stay.

1:24:01 > 1:24:03I don't normally get complaints.

1:24:08 > 1:24:10- Sam.- Carl.

1:24:10 > 1:24:12Welcome to Albert Square.

1:24:13 > 1:24:14Thanks.

1:24:16 > 1:24:19Did you have a visit from a fella called Carl?

1:24:19 > 1:24:21Yeah, he was asking about Derek.

1:24:21 > 1:24:23Right. What did you say?

1:24:23 > 1:24:27Well, nothing. Till Kat blurted it out that he was dead. He didn't know.

1:24:27 > 1:24:29- Right, what time was that? - About nine.

1:24:29 > 1:24:31Nine? Did he mention me?

1:24:33 > 1:24:35Don't think so. Why?

1:24:35 > 1:24:36No reason.

1:24:36 > 1:24:38Do you think he's trouble an'all, then?

1:24:38 > 1:24:41He asked about Derek and Derek's dead, then he left!

1:24:41 > 1:24:43I don't think there's anything to worry about. Do you?

1:24:43 > 1:24:46No, probably not. See you in a bit, yeah?

1:24:46 > 1:24:47See you in a bit.

1:24:49 > 1:24:50You can't deny me.

1:24:50 > 1:24:52I wouldn't! But if you really cared about him...

1:24:52 > 1:24:57Course I care. Course I care. I've suffered for two years.

1:24:57 > 1:25:02I'm not letting you use my boy as a stand-in for Scarlett.

1:25:02 > 1:25:03Where are you going?

1:25:04 > 1:25:07I'm going to get Tommy and then tell Alfie what you've done.

1:25:09 > 1:25:10Wait.

1:25:12 > 1:25:14Aha! There you are.

1:25:14 > 1:25:17- Is this running smoothly now? - That's cos you're the best dad in the world.

1:25:17 > 1:25:21- Yeah, Chief Tractor Fixer to the rescue!- Yeah. Tell you what.

1:25:21 > 1:25:25- What?- You can fix my tractor any day.

1:25:25 > 1:25:28Peroxide, I hope that's not a euphemism for something!

1:25:28 > 1:25:32- It is, actually, it is.- Yeah?- It's a euphemism for "Give Me Babies Now".

1:25:32 > 1:25:35I'm liking the sound of that!

1:25:36 > 1:25:39- Dinner?- Yeah. Well I did ask him to take her for lunch.

1:25:39 > 1:25:41Where's he going to take her, Tan? To a restaurant full of booze?

1:25:41 > 1:25:45- We need to start trusting her. - She's got to earn that, hasn't she?

1:25:45 > 1:25:47Maybe this is a good chance for her to start earning it.

1:25:47 > 1:25:52Peter Beale's been after her for years. All he's got to do is get her drunk and all his dreams come true!

1:25:52 > 1:25:53He's not like that.

1:25:53 > 1:25:55FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

1:26:00 > 1:26:01What are you all doing here?

1:26:03 > 1:26:04I'm going to work.

1:26:07 > 1:26:13Busted. I just... I let slip about your little date tonight.

1:26:13 > 1:26:17And I wouldn't let her go till I found out who with.

1:26:17 > 1:26:19It's not a date. It's a catch up.

1:26:23 > 1:26:25Any sinks need unblocking?

1:26:26 > 1:26:30Well, no. You've done that, ain't you? Put yourself out of business.

1:26:30 > 1:26:31Is everything OK?

1:26:31 > 1:26:34Well, I dunno. Kat seems to think you're here to cause aggravation.

1:26:36 > 1:26:38I'm sorry to hear that. And you?

1:26:40 > 1:26:42How did you find my address? I didn't give it to you.

1:26:42 > 1:26:46- Walford ain't a big place.- So why lie about knowing Alice, then?

1:26:46 > 1:26:48HE SIGHS

1:26:48 > 1:26:51Look, why don't I explain over coffee?

1:26:51 > 1:26:53I'll be waiting in the cafe for you when you're done here.

1:27:01 > 1:27:03You all right, Pete?

1:27:04 > 1:27:07So, you taking Lauren out to dinner?

1:27:07 > 1:27:08Yeah. It was Tanya's idea.

1:27:08 > 1:27:11Right, you do know she can't drink, don't you? She struggles with it.

1:27:11 > 1:27:13I see.

1:27:13 > 1:27:16So, if she touches one drop, I'm going to come after you.

1:27:16 > 1:27:18Do you understand me?

1:27:18 > 1:27:20Good.

1:27:20 > 1:27:24Max! Right from when I was a kid, I've always looked out for her.

1:27:25 > 1:27:28Jack - he always goes for the blue one.

1:27:37 > 1:27:40Hey! Tommy's here! Tommy, look what Daddy's fixed for you!

1:27:40 > 1:27:43I've fixed your tractor, haven't I? Good boy.

1:27:43 > 1:27:47Do you want to take him upstairs? Michael's got something to tell you.

1:27:49 > 1:27:52Yeah, yeah, sure. Come on, buddy. Let's go upstairs with Daddy.

1:27:52 > 1:27:54Let's go. Let's not forget the tractor.

1:27:54 > 1:27:56Do you want to play with this? Look what I've got!

1:28:00 > 1:28:02I need to pick Oscar up soon.

1:28:04 > 1:28:08Got to get some decorations, you know, for Abi's party.

1:28:08 > 1:28:10Well, she did ask you to wait.

1:28:10 > 1:28:12- I know. - Look, come on, you're worse than me!

1:28:19 > 1:28:21Wow, you look stunning.

1:28:21 > 1:28:25Well, I've got to get my bag and shoes from you later, but...

1:28:25 > 1:28:27Look at you. My beautiful little girl!

1:28:27 > 1:28:30No exactly the 15-year-old girl he fell in love with, though.

1:28:30 > 1:28:33You look lovely. Right, I'm going to go and get Oscar.

1:28:33 > 1:28:37So just...just try and have fun, you know?

1:28:37 > 1:28:39Just... No pressure.

1:28:42 > 1:28:44What did she mean by that?

1:28:44 > 1:28:48She means relax. You know, he should be the nervous one.

1:28:54 > 1:28:57Why didn't you tell me how serious her drinking problem is?

1:29:00 > 1:29:03This is Lauren. She's, like, the love of your life.

1:29:03 > 1:29:06- I didn't really think it was my place.- Well, how bad is it?

1:29:08 > 1:29:12She just binges a bit. It's not a massive problem.

1:29:12 > 1:29:14Well, Max seems to think it is.

1:29:14 > 1:29:16Yeah well, that's parents for you.

1:29:16 > 1:29:18I'm going to cancel.

1:29:18 > 1:29:21What? No, you have to go!

1:29:23 > 1:29:26Come on, you used to draw pictures of her in your textbooks!

1:29:26 > 1:29:28That was ages ago.

1:29:31 > 1:29:33Look, she has to move on from Joey.

1:29:35 > 1:29:38If you really like her then... Help her.

1:29:49 > 1:29:50Sugar?

1:29:50 > 1:29:52No, I've got to get back to do my dinner, thanks.

1:29:57 > 1:30:03I lied because Derek talked about Alice so much, I wanted to meet her.

1:30:03 > 1:30:06Well, why didn't you just say that?

1:30:06 > 1:30:08It's complicated.

1:30:10 > 1:30:14I met Derek in prison. He looked after me. Saved my life.

1:30:16 > 1:30:21When you come out of prison, you think everyone's going to treat you like scum. So you lie.

1:30:21 > 1:30:24Yeah, that's when people do treat you like scum.

1:30:24 > 1:30:26Yeah.

1:30:27 > 1:30:31I met your uncle earlier... in that lovely little restaurant.

1:30:33 > 1:30:36I thought, "I'd love a place like this."

1:30:36 > 1:30:38You know, what would it take? What do you reckon?

1:30:38 > 1:30:42Dunno. Anything's possible. Ian was homeless a year ago!

1:30:42 > 1:30:45His family hated him. He lost all his businesses and now...

1:30:45 > 1:30:47I mean, he's gone from nothing to that in a year.

1:30:47 > 1:30:50I suppose you've just got to have a bit of faith.

1:30:50 > 1:30:53Maybe I will. Good old Ian, eh?

1:30:57 > 1:30:59- Jean!- What? Am I late?

1:30:59 > 1:31:02No, you're not late. I need a favour from you.

1:31:02 > 1:31:05I need you to run things from about eight o'clock.

1:31:05 > 1:31:07Run things?

1:31:07 > 1:31:10Yeah. Well, you said you wanted more responsibility, didn't you?

1:31:10 > 1:31:16Yes, but... No Ian, no! I'm having one of my funny days.

1:31:16 > 1:31:17Are you sure?

1:31:17 > 1:31:21I mean, I suppose I could, at a push, run the kitchen

1:31:21 > 1:31:23but front of house... No...

1:31:23 > 1:31:25Jean, it's fine.

1:31:36 > 1:31:40Alfie. I have an admission to make. I've got to tell you something before the boy does.

1:31:40 > 1:31:43What, has he discovered the meaning of life or something?

1:31:43 > 1:31:47- The origins of life. - The origins of life? Nice one.

1:31:47 > 1:31:49Not the origins of life as an umbrella term...

1:31:49 > 1:31:50The origins of HIS life.

1:31:52 > 1:31:53Oh, yeah?

1:31:55 > 1:31:57This afternoon I told him I was his father.

1:32:05 > 1:32:07You did what?

1:32:11 > 1:32:14Not that long ago, Michael, you wanted nothing to do with him.

1:32:14 > 1:32:15I still don't.

1:32:16 > 1:32:21If I remember rightly, I called him my own when you couldn't even look him in the eye!

1:32:25 > 1:32:26And then what...

1:32:28 > 1:32:29The wind changed, did it?

1:32:33 > 1:32:39It was a knee-jerk reaction. The thought of having two children not knowing me was just...

1:32:39 > 1:32:43It was the tortures of the damned, actually, so I'm sorry.

1:32:43 > 1:32:47You don't think I deserved some sort of warning?

1:32:47 > 1:32:48Or deserved to even be there?

1:32:52 > 1:32:53Get out.

1:33:02 > 1:33:03DOOR SLAMS

1:33:10 > 1:33:11Thank you.

1:33:14 > 1:33:15Three times in one day.

1:33:18 > 1:33:19You read my mind.

1:33:19 > 1:33:22That's not what I meant. I meant seeing each other.

1:33:24 > 1:33:26Which we're not supposed to be doing, are we?

1:33:30 > 1:33:34Mm! Dining alone? Fancy company?

1:33:34 > 1:33:36Actually, I...

1:33:36 > 1:33:38Well, we really should get to know each other a bit better.

1:33:38 > 1:33:43After all, we are living under the same roof, Samuel.

1:33:46 > 1:33:47MOBILE ALERT

1:33:47 > 1:33:51Ah. Sorry. I'm setting up a job.

1:33:51 > 1:33:55Oh! All work and no play makes Sam very...

1:33:56 > 1:33:58..gay...as in funny. SHE LAUGHS

1:33:58 > 1:34:03Actually... Kim, I really need to go.

1:34:03 > 1:34:05- Oh!- Feel free. Tuck in.

1:34:09 > 1:34:11I'm on a diet.

1:34:22 > 1:34:23OK?

1:34:24 > 1:34:28You know, he had no right to do that.

1:34:28 > 1:34:32- Look, maybe it just slipped out. - What?

1:34:34 > 1:34:38Maybe if I sat down with Tommy and just said that he was lying...

1:34:38 > 1:34:42Alfie, seriously, he's a kid. He's not going to understand any of that, is he?

1:34:42 > 1:34:46I went through everything for him. I mourned him. I got him back.

1:34:46 > 1:34:48- I loved him. He's my boy. - I know. I know.

1:34:48 > 1:34:52And what, then Michael just goes and blows all that out the water...

1:34:52 > 1:34:53Alfie, Alfie! Look at me.

1:34:55 > 1:35:01OK, I know - I know this hurts, but he was going to have to find out sooner or later, wasn't he?

1:35:06 > 1:35:08I guess I just wanted it to come from me.

1:35:24 > 1:35:25Can I trouble you for some service?

1:35:44 > 1:35:45What's wrong, darling?

1:35:45 > 1:35:49I dunno. It's just Peter, innit.

1:35:49 > 1:35:53He's all...confident and manly

1:35:53 > 1:35:55and then there's just me. Look at me.

1:35:55 > 1:35:58How's he not going to be disappointed, Mum?

1:35:58 > 1:35:59Don't be silly!

1:36:00 > 1:36:03You're just going through a hard time at the moment

1:36:03 > 1:36:07and Peter cares about you, in a way that's not temporary.

1:36:09 > 1:36:10DOORBELL RINGS

1:36:16 > 1:36:17Hello, Peter, come in.

1:36:17 > 1:36:19Lauren said she was here?

1:36:19 > 1:36:23Yeah, well, you know. I'm just a storage facility for her shoes lately, so...

1:36:23 > 1:36:25Lauren! (Please don't let her drink).

1:36:25 > 1:36:27No. Lauren!

1:36:30 > 1:36:33You look... I mean, wow.

1:36:34 > 1:36:36Thanks.

1:36:36 > 1:36:38Right, see you later then, Mum.

1:36:38 > 1:36:41Yes. Great. Well, you make sure you text me later,

1:36:41 > 1:36:47you know...if you want to. If you want to come back and get any shoes or anything for Abi's party...

1:36:47 > 1:36:49The party's here, Mum.

1:36:51 > 1:36:53Don't worry. I won't be late.

1:36:53 > 1:36:56No. Good. Right. Great. Have a lovely time.

1:37:06 > 1:37:08You haven't changed a bit.

1:37:08 > 1:37:09What are you doing?

1:37:09 > 1:37:12I'm out. Clean too, you know?

1:37:12 > 1:37:14And I'm married.

1:37:14 > 1:37:15My brother told me.

1:37:15 > 1:37:19Did he tell you I'm pregnant too? There's nothing here for you.

1:37:21 > 1:37:25Five years. Totally straight. Kirsty, please...

1:37:27 > 1:37:29I can't do this.

1:37:34 > 1:37:35Who are you?

1:37:41 > 1:37:43What did you just say to him?

1:37:45 > 1:37:47What's the matter?

1:37:47 > 1:37:49It's Alfie. He's gone.

1:38:06 > 1:38:11- What, she didn't say who with? - No. Probably just winding me up, ain't she.

1:38:11 > 1:38:14You know, it amazes me that that girl still has the energy.

1:38:16 > 1:38:17So you're not bothered, then?

1:38:17 > 1:38:19Dunno. I dunno.

1:38:21 > 1:38:25OK, well, do you fancy going for dinner? On me.

1:38:25 > 1:38:29Yeah, yeah, all right. Never turn down free food, do I?

1:38:29 > 1:38:30SHE CHUCKLES

1:38:30 > 1:38:33What you got in mind, anyway?

1:38:41 > 1:38:43I thought this was just a catch up.

1:38:43 > 1:38:47Well, if you'd rather pull MY chair out, you're more than welcome.

1:38:52 > 1:38:57Right, let's hit the cranberry juice. Get this party started(!)

1:38:58 > 1:39:00Thank you.

1:39:00 > 1:39:01Thank you.

1:39:08 > 1:39:11You expecting a hot date or something?

1:39:11 > 1:39:15- How are we doing? - I'm managing, no thanks to you.

1:39:22 > 1:39:25Very nice brandy! I'm impressed.

1:39:27 > 1:39:31Yeah, I'm saving it for a special occasion.

1:39:31 > 1:39:37No sign of Derek yet? Not like him to be late.

1:39:39 > 1:39:42You are not going to stop me seeing him! Do you understand?

1:39:42 > 1:39:45That's not what I'm proposing. I'm not going to take him away from you,

1:39:45 > 1:39:48I just needed to tell him, you know.

1:39:48 > 1:39:51- Are you going to become violent? - Oh, shut up.

1:39:51 > 1:39:54- Can you imagine how confused the poor kid is right now, eh? - He barely knows what a dad is.

1:39:54 > 1:39:57- Then why would you tell him?! - Because I'm horrible.

1:39:57 > 1:40:02Because I'm selfish. When Kat was pregnant I behaved abominably to her.

1:40:02 > 1:40:05And you know, so when Scarlett was born...

1:40:05 > 1:40:09and now she's gone, I'm a dad twice over without children.

1:40:09 > 1:40:10It doesn't work.

1:40:10 > 1:40:13Michael, listen to yourself. They're not interchangeable!

1:40:13 > 1:40:15- Do you understand?- But they are both my children.

1:40:15 > 1:40:16They're both my children.

1:40:16 > 1:40:19If you had a kid of your own, maybe you'd understand that.

1:40:19 > 1:40:22That's a horrible thing to say. I'm sorry! I retract that.

1:40:23 > 1:40:25You're a scumbag, Michael Moon.

1:40:29 > 1:40:30DOOR CLOSES

1:40:31 > 1:40:35- Urgh!- Aw, don't! This is all I've got.

1:40:38 > 1:40:40Right, so anyway -

1:40:40 > 1:40:43what have you been up to all these years?

1:40:43 > 1:40:45Your dress sense has certainly improved.

1:40:45 > 1:40:47This outfit was bought under instruction.

1:40:47 > 1:40:50Oh, yeah? Girlfriend, or...?

1:40:51 > 1:40:53SHE GASPS

1:40:53 > 1:40:55Peter, you better not be two-timing me.

1:40:55 > 1:40:59I'm a free agent now - anyway, I thought this was just a catch up!

1:41:00 > 1:41:04- You always were too easy to tease. - Yeah, you were always too willing.

1:41:04 > 1:41:09Couldn't help it with you. Like pulling the wings off a butterfly.

1:41:09 > 1:41:12Butterfly, eh? So we're agreed I'm pretty?

1:41:13 > 1:41:14I've missed that smile.

1:41:25 > 1:41:27Something tells me this ain't a coincidence?

1:41:27 > 1:41:30- I don't know what you mean. - That's cheap, Luce. That really is.

1:41:30 > 1:41:31We just got here!

1:41:33 > 1:41:36Is that my sister playing games?

1:41:36 > 1:41:37How should I know?

1:41:38 > 1:41:42But you were right about this cranberry juice - it's not really cutting it, is it?

1:41:42 > 1:41:47Waiter! Hi, can I have some vodka lemonade, please?

1:41:47 > 1:41:50Actually, make that two, yeah? Thank you.

1:41:52 > 1:41:55What? You're not going to make me drink on my own, are you?

1:42:01 > 1:42:04Look, I really should be getting back in the kitchen.

1:42:04 > 1:42:08We both know he's not coming. And neither is my ten grand.

1:42:10 > 1:42:13You know, I've been racking my brains today...

1:42:13 > 1:42:15thinking about why you lied to me.

1:42:15 > 1:42:19And I keep coming back to Derek's little box of tricks.

1:42:21 > 1:42:23Seems like somewhere you might stash a few grand.

1:42:25 > 1:42:26I wouldn't know.

1:42:26 > 1:42:27And yet you lied to me.

1:42:27 > 1:42:31In your expensively put-together, newly-acquired restaurant,

1:42:31 > 1:42:32in Derek's old lock-up.

1:42:36 > 1:42:39I didn't see any money, OK? What do you want from me?

1:42:40 > 1:42:43You've taken from me.

1:42:43 > 1:42:44I want your blood.

1:42:48 > 1:42:49Slow down.

1:42:54 > 1:42:58Lauren, what's happened? Why are you not allowed to drink?

1:42:58 > 1:43:00It's just rules and regulations.

1:43:00 > 1:43:03Whose? Has it got something to do with that Joey?

1:43:03 > 1:43:06What? No! Who told you, anyway? About the drinking?

1:43:06 > 1:43:09No-one. I just... You ordered cranberry juice...

1:43:09 > 1:43:12Don't lie. It was Lucy, weren't it? Obviously!

1:43:12 > 1:43:15I bet she sent you like, little updates to Devon, didn't she!?

1:43:15 > 1:43:18She absolutely loves it.

1:43:18 > 1:43:21Hence the front row seats for her and Joey.

1:43:21 > 1:43:25Waiter! Hi, can I have the same again, please?

1:43:27 > 1:43:31- Why don't we give her something to celebrate, eh? - Lauren, just calm down.

1:43:31 > 1:43:33In fact, do you know what, get your phone out and take a photo

1:43:33 > 1:43:37- and we'll send it to her. - No.- Why? She'll love that.

1:43:37 > 1:43:40- She's going to want a photo of this, ain't she?- It wasn't Lucy!

1:43:42 > 1:43:44Who was it, then? Tell me!

1:43:46 > 1:43:48If you don't tell me then I am gone, right.

1:43:48 > 1:43:50And you can forget ever doing this again.

1:43:50 > 1:43:54It was your mum, all right! And your dad.

1:43:54 > 1:43:58They wanted me to take you out. They thought it might...help.

1:44:03 > 1:44:04Oh.

1:44:06 > 1:44:08- Thanks, buddy!- Mummy gone?

1:44:08 > 1:44:10Yeah, Mummy's downstairs...

1:44:10 > 1:44:13Listen, you know when you and Michael were talking earlier?

1:44:13 > 1:44:16About daddies and stuff, right?

1:44:16 > 1:44:21Hey, look, you know, I fixed this for you, OK, when it was broke.

1:44:22 > 1:44:24Well, you see...

1:44:24 > 1:44:29the thing is now - I won't be able to fix this any more for you

1:44:29 > 1:44:34because your real daddy... well, that's Michael.

1:44:35 > 1:44:38Michael?

1:44:38 > 1:44:42And then...he's going to fix this for you.

1:44:42 > 1:44:44Michael. Daddy.

1:44:44 > 1:44:46Michael's Daddy, yeah.

1:44:48 > 1:44:51I'd love to be an advocate for the prison system -

1:44:51 > 1:44:54rehabilitated, a shining example of their success

1:44:54 > 1:45:00- but truth is, I just got nastier. - You can't prove anything.

1:45:00 > 1:45:05What do you think this is? Judicial process? You're lying. You're guilty.

1:45:05 > 1:45:08That money was my fresh start.

1:45:08 > 1:45:11The chance for me to start a new business. And you took it.

1:45:11 > 1:45:15- And you can't even do the decent thing and admit it.- There's nothing to admit.

1:45:15 > 1:45:17You can't keep this up. Too many variables.

1:45:17 > 1:45:20Your own family can't even back you up.

1:45:22 > 1:45:25Look, stop lying and we can work something out.

1:45:26 > 1:45:29Keep lying... Things get dark.

1:45:32 > 1:45:33Beautifully presented.

1:45:38 > 1:45:39Go on.

1:45:44 > 1:45:45Look, I had to, OK?

1:45:45 > 1:45:49I didn't have any choice, otherwise this place would have fallen through.

1:45:49 > 1:45:51Ah, now you're being honest, we can do business.

1:45:51 > 1:45:55All right. I suggest you give me

1:45:55 > 1:46:01£500 a week for the foreseeable future. Do you understand me?

1:46:01 > 1:46:03Good. Business concluded.

1:46:06 > 1:46:09Pass me the salt.

1:46:09 > 1:46:11I'm sorry, what? Be quiet!? We're on a date here!

1:46:11 > 1:46:14Just cos you two died years ago...

1:46:14 > 1:46:17You are literally decomposing in front of each other's eyes

1:46:17 > 1:46:20and let's face it, you're probably too polite to even let her know.

1:46:20 > 1:46:22I'm really sorry. Can I get the bill, please?

1:46:22 > 1:46:26- Right, come on, I'm taking you home. - Just go back to Devon. Find a girl

1:46:26 > 1:46:30and rot into middle age together... catching up(!)

1:46:30 > 1:46:33- Shut up, don't talk to me like that! - Just go home, then!

1:46:35 > 1:46:36I fancy a dance, anyway.

1:46:40 > 1:46:41Is he bad news?

1:46:41 > 1:46:44- I don't want to talk about it. - He's been round my house.

1:46:44 > 1:46:47He's been sniffing round Bianca and Alice, we've got a right to know.

1:46:47 > 1:46:49- He's someone you don't want in your life.- I knew it.

1:46:49 > 1:46:52I've been where he is, though. I mean, you know what it's like.

1:46:52 > 1:46:57- People thinking you're worthless just cos you've been in prison. - Trust me. He's nasty.

1:46:57 > 1:46:59Why should I take your word for it?

1:47:00 > 1:47:01We were engaged.

1:47:04 > 1:47:06You all right, B? All right, Kat?

1:47:06 > 1:47:10- Yeah, fine.- Roxy said I could get going, actually.

1:47:10 > 1:47:14- Fancy some fried chicken? - Er, yeah.- Any word yet?

1:47:14 > 1:47:16No. It's only been an hour, innit.

1:47:17 > 1:47:19Didn't know you liked fried chicken.

1:47:19 > 1:47:20Well, I don't, no.

1:47:27 > 1:47:29Alfie.

1:47:32 > 1:47:37I told him, Roxy. I told Tommy I'm not his real dad.

1:47:42 > 1:47:44You going to ignore me all night?

1:47:44 > 1:47:45Depends, Lucy. Are you going to stay all night?

1:47:50 > 1:47:54- What happened to my brother? - Ah, Lucy...meet...

1:47:56 > 1:48:00Oh, who am I kidding? I can't even remember their names.

1:48:01 > 1:48:04Joey! Can I have a drink, please!

1:48:04 > 1:48:06I ain't serving you.

1:48:06 > 1:48:08Personality FAIL!

1:48:16 > 1:48:19Will you take over for a bit here, mate? We're out of mixers.

1:48:25 > 1:48:28- Is Jay in?- Of course not.

1:48:28 > 1:48:31I'm trying to win Dexter round, not start another war.

1:48:33 > 1:48:37Oh. Sam! I thought I heard voices.

1:48:37 > 1:48:41I was talking to myself. Bad habit.

1:48:42 > 1:48:46It was a shame you had to run off from dinner.

1:48:46 > 1:48:50Well, how about a nice little nightcap?

1:48:50 > 1:48:52Make yourself comfy in the living room.

1:48:52 > 1:48:54I've got a little something something in the fridge...

1:49:09 > 1:49:12Sam!

1:49:12 > 1:49:14Did he just run out on me?!

1:49:17 > 1:49:22MUSIC DROWNS CONVERSATION

1:49:42 > 1:49:45Trust me. She won't drink again. She was too excited about it.

1:49:48 > 1:49:50How are you doing, mate? You all right?

1:49:50 > 1:49:52I thought you were going to come by and look at a motor...

1:49:52 > 1:49:54Can't avoid me forever, Kirsty.

1:49:55 > 1:50:00- Sorry, have I missed something? Do you know each other or what? - Look, just go, yeah?

1:50:00 > 1:50:04I'm just settling in. I'm not going anywhere.

1:50:04 > 1:50:05See you around.

1:50:08 > 1:50:09What's all that about?

1:50:11 > 1:50:13That's Carl.
