0:00:25 > 0:00:28CUTLERY RATTLES
0:00:31 > 0:00:32You all right? Morning.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Oh, sleep well, did you?
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Funny that, cos I didn't get a wink,
0:00:36 > 0:00:38what with you tossing and turning all night.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39I nearly threw you out.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41He probably would have deserved it.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43What you talking about? I ain't done nothing wrong, have I?
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Really? So how did you manage to lose two wives in one night?
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Eh?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50And apparently, that Kirsty,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53she packed her bags and she drove off late last night.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55How do you know these things?
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Because I keep my ear to the ground.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Although I might not be around so much any more.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Why's that?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Well, see, I'm not one to gloat,
0:01:06 > 0:01:11but I have been short-listed for the position of Regional Manager.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Well, that's fantastic, Zee.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17See, I didn't know whether to say anything or not.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19You know, because I didn't want you to think
0:01:19 > 0:01:21that I was rubbing it in your face or anything, so...
0:01:21 > 0:01:23No. No, you're not.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Cos, oh!
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I've got one, too.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Morning!
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Watch yourself.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42There you go. Do you want some breakfast?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Oh, that's fantastic, I'm really pleased for you.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Yeah, well, I haven't got the job yet. It's just an interview.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Yeah, well, you will when they meet you.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Yeah, try telling that to Zainab.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Well, Zainab hasn't got your secret weapon.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01- Me.- Huh?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03I've interviewed more no hopers than Lord Sugar, OK.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04And for the price of a drink,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I'm willing to give you the benefit of my experience.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Do you know what, I might just take you up on that.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13When you've finished, some of us are waiting.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20You going to tell her your news?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22No, no, it's no big deal, is it?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Don't you think it's time you and her had a proper chat?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28What's the point? She'd only throw it back in my face, wouldn't she?
0:02:32 > 0:02:33All right?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37You're early. I ain't finished getting her ready yet.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Well, I've got the day off and no-one to spend it with.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I suppose an extra half hour won't hurt.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43And we ain't going to be around for a while,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45cos I'm taking Mum to Cornwall next week.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Since when?- She wants to meet her great-granddaughter
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- for the first time. - Why can't she come here?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52There's people round here she don't want to see,
0:02:52 > 0:02:53so we thought we'd take Lexi away.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55And what if I don't want her to go?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57It's only for a couple of weeks.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Anyway, it's all sorted so you ain't got any choice. Has she, eh?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Right, did you want any more pancakes? I'd better get to work.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07I didn't think you'd be up for it today.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Managed to drag myself in when I was having chemo, didn't I?
0:03:10 > 0:03:11I think I can cope today.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Well, what about Dad? Don't you two need to talk?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15No. We said everything last night.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19I don't get it. Did you find out he was seeing Kirsty after all?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23No, darling. I just...
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I just realised it was time to stop fooling myself and move on.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Trust me, things will be better.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30You'll see.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Wait, wait! You're not getting away from me this time!
0:03:40 > 0:03:44I knew you'd be the ruination of me, Cora Cross.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48I knew I would pay for trusting you but I never thought, in all my days,
0:03:48 > 0:03:50it was going to cost me so much.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Only a few weeks behind with the rent.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Only a few weeks? It's over a thousand quid!
0:03:55 > 0:03:58And the council have suspended my benefits, you know,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00because of these here arrears.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02And I've got a meeting with them to discuss what's going on.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04That ain't my fault.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I've never had no trouble with the council until I,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09in my foolishness, put you in charge.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I did the best I could, tried to keep on top of things.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Hiding the final demands within the sideboard?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18You never told me how high the bills would be.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Oh, I suppose you kept the house lit up like a lighthouse.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23And the heating on all day and all night.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27What did you expect us to do? Sit in the dark and freeze?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Oh, no. No, I am the one who's going to be doing that
0:04:30 > 0:04:32since you left me destitute.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35The council ain't going to want the money up front.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I'll give you a tenner a week, and the odd shift.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Oh, how very generous of you(!)
0:04:41 > 0:04:44In fact, you can start now, I need to be with Tanya.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47You have left me up to my eyeballs in debt
0:04:47 > 0:04:50and now you ask me to do you a favour.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53You ask me to cover your shift
0:04:53 > 0:04:58so that you can pay off a minute fraction of the bills that you owe?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00It's the best I can do.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Take it or leave it.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I ain't never heard nothing like it in my life!
0:05:07 > 0:05:10I want you to know, Denise, that if I get the job,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I won't be one of those people that, you know, comes back to work
0:05:13 > 0:05:16and makes my colleagues' life a misery.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Thanks, Zee, and I want you to know
0:05:20 > 0:05:23that if I get the job, then I won't make your life miserable, either.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26You really think you stand a good chance?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I might have a few tricks up my sleeve.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Oh, yeah? Too much make up? Short skirts?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Ian's going to help me practice.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Do you really think that's a good idea?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Being so over-rehearsed and stiff?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Yeah. It's better than being under-rehearsed and panicking.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Boo!
0:05:42 > 0:05:45What you doing for lunch?
0:05:48 > 0:05:49You all right?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Yeah, I'm fine.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Ava, hello.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Listen, I'm so sorry about what happened the other week.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03I had no idea who Dexter was.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05He explained.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Right. What are you doing here?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I'm on lunch. I was coming to see you to let you know
0:06:09 > 0:06:10I got a job at a local school.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Oscar's, actually. I didn't know that when I applied.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I'm not stalking you, it was just one of those things.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Right, well, that's great. Well, they're lucky to have you.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22And I wanted to apologise.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I went too far.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27You know what it's like to be protective of your kids.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32And I definitely shouldn't have said anything about you and Max.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33There is no me and Max.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Oh...
0:06:34 > 0:06:35We've split up.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- I'm sorry.- Oh, no, don't be.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39No, it's the best thing that could have happened.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Tan.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Right, so I'll be seeing more of you then.- Yeah. See ya.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Look, I know things got out of hand last night,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49and I said one or two things I shouldn't have done,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51but the last thing I want is to hurt you.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Oh, don't worry, you haven't.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I'm glad you finally admitted how you feel.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Babe, don't be like that. You're just taking it all the wrong way.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Can I just explain, at least? For the kids, if nothing else.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Don't worry about the kids. I've told them it's over
0:07:04 > 0:07:06and they think it's for the best, too.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10So why don't you get back to your real wife?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Leave me alone, cos I don't need you.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15You all right, Tan?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Yes, I will be, if people stop asking me.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19You coming in?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Oh, hello, Mum. Shouldn't you be at work?
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Dot's covering my shift. I thought I'd get my cuticles done.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Though she did mention you'd kicked out Max.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33You must be devastated, Tan. You poor thing.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Not really.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Come on, darling, we're only trying to help.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I've been saving this for a special occasion,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43but since you're all here...
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Just so you know, I don't need your pity, all right?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I am finally back in charge of my life,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52so do you want to help me celebrate?
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Yeah.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Atta girl.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Ain't like we're emigrating or anything.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Anyway, she's in my care, I'll do what I want.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01You know I'm doing my best to be there for her!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I even stopped seeing my mates cos you wanted me to!
0:08:04 > 0:08:05That's what this is about, is it?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07You're upset cos you've dumped your loser boyfriend?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10He wasn't my boyfriend, and this ain't about him.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11This is about me making you happy all the time
0:08:11 > 0:08:13and you don't even seem to think about me.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- You ain't my priority, Lexi is! - Oh, yeah?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17And how is going to see some old dear she don't even know
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- good for her?- Because I say so.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21And what do the Social think?
0:08:22 > 0:08:23They'll be fine. It's just a holiday.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I'm terribly sorry to keep you all waiting, but I'm afraid that
0:08:34 > 0:08:37one of my colleagues forgot to order the soap powder.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Which you would think is a matter of priority in a launderette,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43but no, apparently it's more important to stock the place
0:08:43 > 0:08:45with magazines filled with titillation.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Dot, how long on these dryers?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Only I was hoping to get out of here sometime today.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52There's only one working, Billy. The other's on the blink.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57There's probably a rogue brassiere stuck in the mechanism
0:08:57 > 0:09:03which no-one has bothered to report, nor attempted to retrieve. Ah!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05It's good to have you back, Dot.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06What was that, Billy?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- I said it's good to have you back. - Well, I wish I could say the same,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12but, I mean, half the baskets have gone AWOL,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14and there's more cash in the machines than there is
0:09:14 > 0:09:18in the petty cash, and as for the bathroom facilities...
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Yeah, well, I'm sure you'll have it back normal in no time.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Unfortunately, Mr Opa...
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Mr Opadi...
0:09:25 > 0:09:30He has seen it fit to give my job to someone less qualified!
0:09:30 > 0:09:33And even I can't perform miracles in a day.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Well, if I was Mr Papadopoulos, I'd be begging you to come back.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Place ain't been the same without you.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Pops, you've got to get down the Social, quick.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43What's wrong? Is it Lexi?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I'll explain on the way down, just hurry up.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Dot, please can you..?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Hurry up!- All right, all right!
0:09:48 > 0:09:50KNOCK AT DOOR
0:09:50 > 0:09:51What do you want me to say?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Just tell me to come in.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Better do what she tells you.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58All right, fine, come in.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Mrs Masood, hello.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Hello.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Please take a seat.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Thank you for coming to this interview.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14So, could you tell me
0:10:14 > 0:10:20what kind of managerial skill you'd bring to this job?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Oh, yes. I would bring excellent organisational skills,
0:10:23 > 0:10:27a very strong work ethic and I suffer no nonsense.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Ah. And what would you say to that, Miss Fox?
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Huh?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Since when is she playing Miss Fox? This is not a group interview!
0:10:34 > 0:10:36You know what, it might be a good idea to find out
0:10:36 > 0:10:39what kind of answers Denise might give.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I don't know that much about Denise.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44You don't need to, just make up some half baked,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46patronising rubbish and you'll be fine.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52Well, I suppose I'd say a good manager looks out for their staff
0:10:52 > 0:10:56and makes them want to do their best.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- See?- What?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Don't you want them to do well?
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Well, of course I do,
0:11:01 > 0:11:05but there are better ways to achieve productivity than by being nice.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09My dad always said that people respond better to sugar than salt.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Oh, is that right, Miss Fox?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Are there any other cooking proverbs that you might like to come up with
0:11:14 > 0:11:18that would help maximise growth within a double dip recession?
0:11:18 > 0:11:19I don't think so.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I've spent years doing things for everyone else.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I'm just going to start looking after myself from now on.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29And I'm not going to make the mistake of just jumping into bed
0:11:29 > 0:11:31with the first bloke that pays me a bit of attention.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32We've all been there,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35you should have seen some of the horrors I've had.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36We have. Phil.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40You know who I think's got it made?
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Nuns?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43No. Lesbians.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Yeah, cos, well, you wouldn't catch a woman lying or cheating.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Don't you believe it.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Straight or gay, if they want to put it about, they will.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Max wasn't sleeping with Kirsty, if that's what you're all thinking.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Course not, darling, we never said he was.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Good. Right, let's stop talking about it, shall we?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07This is going down well, isn't it? Shall we get another one?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12That's a stupid question, and it is not even on the list I gave you!
0:12:12 > 0:12:15They're not going to just ask you what you're expecting.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17They could hit you with anything.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20OK, fine! If I was in a balloon that was losing height,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I would throw overboard the people
0:12:23 > 0:12:26that would be of the least amount of help.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Right. Miss Fox, the same question to you.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32I'd jump.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Ah!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Well, if I got the people onto the balloon, I can't throw them out.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41So I'd jump myself.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43There is no balloon, all right?
0:12:43 > 0:12:44This is just a test to see
0:12:44 > 0:12:47if you're ruthless enough to get rid of dead weight!
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Or to see if you can take responsibility for your actions.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Either way it is a stupid thing!
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Well, that kind of covers everything. Can I read my paper now?
0:13:00 > 0:13:04No. No, no, no. Not until you tell us which one of us has got the job.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07You never said I had to do that.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Well, I never said we had to do a group interview.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Yeah, the very least you could do is tell us which one you'd choose?
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Her or me?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Four white wines, please. Make them large.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27All right, coming up.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- Why not get a bottle? - Yeah, good idea.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31And before you say anything, I'm not here to harass you,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I just want a drink.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35We're still mates, you can harass me anytime.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40- You all right, Mum?- Oh, hello.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I thought you were meant to be working today?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Yeah, I was. And then I thought no, I'm going to celebrate my freedom.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48See, you're not the only one who knows how to enjoy herself.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Thank you.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Take it everything went well?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55First time I've seen you enjoying yourself since you got back.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59This is purely medicinal, and if by well, you meant spending my day
0:13:59 > 0:14:03clearing up your mess, yes, it went very well.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Maybe I could put another couple of shifts your way.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Well, that won't be necessary, cos Mr Oppopolus, he popped in.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11He never said he was planning to come.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13And he was so pleased with the way the launderette
0:14:13 > 0:14:17was running so smooth, that he offered me my job back on the spot.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18That's good news.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21It ain't the answer to all my problems,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25but as the saying goes, the Lord helps them what help themselves.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29So I shall need your keys for the morning shift.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31You can't just swap shifts.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Oh, but I can!
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Because Mr Opa, he wanted someone in a more senior position,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40so he has offered me my job back as manageress.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45So I'll require you at 1pm tomorrow, preferably not reeking of alcohol.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Thank you. Patrick.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Bye.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Maybe we should go.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Oi, you can't keep walking out of places
0:14:58 > 0:15:01just because she's come in, OK? It's getting stupid.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03You need to come and have a chat with your sister.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Ian!
0:15:05 > 0:15:09He's right, you know. I mean, how much longer is this going to go on?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13What if something serious happens? One of you falls ill or something?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15You sick?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18No. No, I'm not, I've got a job interview, actu...
0:15:19 > 0:15:21What, that's it?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Forget it, I knew this was going to be a waste of time.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25You think I want this?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I would love to chew the fat with you, D, I would really love to.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Tell you about this big fat mess that's my life but I can't.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Not since you came onto my boyfriend.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34No, she didn't.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Excuse me, Sharon, we've run out of crisps.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38One thing I've learnt in this last year
0:15:38 > 0:15:41is that you can't get over your problems unless you talk about them.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Unless you're honest about them.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45What are you talking about?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Look, Denise didn't come onto him.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49He came onto her.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I thought you were going to go and see Tanya and sort this out.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05Yeah, well, looks like that might be a bit harder than I thought.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07So, what exactly have you done to upset Tanya?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Did she catch you and Kirsty at it after all?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12No, don't be stupid. I told you, there's nothing to catch, is there?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Right. So she just flipped? Slung you out for no good reason?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18No, she asked me to be honest, didn't she?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Said she wanted to know the truth about Kirsty.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Yeah, and what exactly did you say? Kirsty was better in the sack?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24No, don't be stupid.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26No, I just...
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I said I had some feelings, you know, they wouldn't go away.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30- Feelings?- Yeah.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33What, you told Tanya that you had feelings for another bird?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Come on, Max.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Surely you of all people know you should never admit that
0:16:37 > 0:16:38to your Missus.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Unless it's the other Missus you want to be with.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I thought it'd be better, you know. Get everything out in the open.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Honestly, I don't know what came over me.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Oh, feelings, apparently.- Yeah, all right!- What do you expect?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50If Del was here he wouldn't let you hear the last of it, would he?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Anyway, I'm sure you'll manage to squirm your way out of it, though.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55You always do in the end, don't you?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58I don't know.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I reckon I might have blown it for good this time.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06You looked me in the eye
0:17:06 > 0:17:08and told me that Dee was the one that came on to you!
0:17:08 > 0:17:11You ain't supposed to be around here, Kim, I'm working.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13You don't even want to be with me any more, so why make that up?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15He's a spineless coward.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18I don't need to take this, all right? We ain't even together.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Look, just tell me the truth!
0:17:23 > 0:17:24All right.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Look, I might have given you the wrong idea, all right?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32It was down to me.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Look, I wanted to tell you the truth
0:17:35 > 0:17:37but she reckoned it was better not to.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Look, the only reason I went along with it was
0:17:43 > 0:17:45cos I didn't want to hurt you.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49If you were really bothered about hurting me
0:17:49 > 0:17:52then maybe you shouldn't have come onto my sister.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Nan, she still not said what's happened?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Not exactly, but she seems to think it's for the best.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18This is what she always does!
0:18:18 > 0:18:21She makes out that she's doing great, then you find out she's got
0:18:21 > 0:18:23cancer, she's had it for months and she ain't told no-one.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26That ain't going to happen this time, darling.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27- Ain't it?- What you saying?
0:18:29 > 0:18:33She's already missed one check up. This is just going to make it worse.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37OK, darling. Great.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Abi's taking Oscar to stay at a friend's,
0:18:39 > 0:18:43so if Jack's picking Denny up from swimming, we've got the whole night.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I should have done this weeks ago, shouldn't I?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Instead of staying in, wondering if my husband was having an affair
0:18:49 > 0:18:50with his other wife.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54And you're really sure it's over? Even though Kirsty's gone.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57She still exists, don't she? Wherever she is.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59No, you're probably doing the right thing.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03It's just not easy to walk away from such a big part of your life, is it?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06It is if you want it to be, isn't it?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Right, who's in the mood for dancing?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I'm sorry.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I should have just told Ray to be honest with you.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26But I knew how much you loved him.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30I just thought it would be easier this way.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33So you let me go on making a fool of myself?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35It's nothing like that.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38He's just not the type to settle down.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46You mean more to me than any fella ever will...
0:19:48 > 0:19:51..which is why I didn't want to hurt you.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55The truth is you can do much better than a creep like that.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59We both can.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05We're going to R&R. You coming, girls?
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Come on.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I don't understand why you still won't say.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I told you - it's too hard to say.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Why? I'm not asking you who are you going to push out of a balloon.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I'm just saying who would you employ?
0:20:27 > 0:20:31I don't know. You've both got different...qualities.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35I mean, you're more focused, and Ayesha, she's more diplomatic.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38What's Ayesha got to do with anything?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41You're supposed to be thinking of her as Denise.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42I do!
0:20:42 > 0:20:44You're the one who chose a joint interview,
0:20:44 > 0:20:46so come on, who would you pick?
0:20:47 > 0:20:48You...
0:20:50 > 0:20:52..of course, Zee.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53You're not just saying that?
0:20:55 > 0:20:59If it came down to it, I'd always choose you.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10# And when you get the chance
0:21:11 > 0:21:15# You are the dancing queen
0:21:15 > 0:21:18# Young and sweet, only seventeen... #
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Have I got the wrong time or something?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I swear we only just opened.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Look, if you let me come home, I promise I'll make things right.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29What about Ian? I thought you two were getting cosy.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34No, it's not like that, we're just mates.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36You could do worse than Ian Beale.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Could do a lot better an' all.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40I'm not doing anything with him,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42and I'd prefer to be back in my own home.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45A week's laundry. Six weeks' breakfasts on your own.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50Three weeks' breakfasts, and I'll throw in a foot massage.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Four weeks', a foot massage and you're on.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58# Dancing queen. #
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Thank you! Thank you very much.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Tanya!
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Surprise me!
0:22:08 > 0:22:11You think that's a good idea, Mum?
0:22:11 > 0:22:13I don't know till I try, do I?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Maybe you should just go home.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22Lauren, oh, Lauren. Seriously? Are you telling me to not drink?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24She's only trying to look out for you.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Oh, sorry, if I'm embarrassing you, why don't you go and speak
0:22:26 > 0:22:28to your new best friend? To your Kirsty.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Maybe it is time to call it a day, babe.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Oh, right. Oh, I get it.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39So none of you are here to have a good time at all, huh? No?
0:22:39 > 0:22:40You're just here out of pity, yeah?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42We're just trying to help.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Well, I don't need your help, all right? I'm fine.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Oh, it's about time!
0:23:00 > 0:23:02We've already been down the office and tried calling
0:23:02 > 0:23:03but your phone's off.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05I'm sorry, I came as soon as I could.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08You'd be round here a lot quicker if someone complained about me,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10but when someone's trying to take my baby away, it's all right.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13I'm here now and I promise, no-one's taking Lexi without your permission.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16We've spoken to Mr Mitchell and made it clear he should have told us
0:23:16 > 0:23:19straight away if he was thinking of going on holiday.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20So Phil messed up then? And he can't go?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22You have a right to your contact time
0:23:22 > 0:23:24and, as I say, no-one can take that away.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Now we can arrange for you to see your solicitor.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31However, if you do object and Mr Mitchell decides to go
0:23:31 > 0:23:35on holiday anyway, Lexi will have to be taken into temporary foster care.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38What? Can't she just stay here with us?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40You know we're not ready for that yet.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42The last thing we want is her taken into care.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Which is why it might be better to reach a compromise.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49After all, it's hardly a bad thing for Lexi to get to know her family.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51We could set up extra contact after the holiday,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53or even pay for you to visit.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Do you really think he's going to let me spend any time with Lexi?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58All he'd do is keep me waiting around all the time,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00to prove who's in control.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02No, not this time. I'm in control.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03It's your decision,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06but why don't you take a night to think about what's best for Lexi?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08No, I already know.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I want to see my solicitor.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37I thought I'd better see if you were still talking to me.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I'm not sure that I should be, but I've worked it out now
0:24:41 > 0:24:45and I'm moving back home, so I won't be in your hair any more.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Oh, right. Well, how about I cook you a special dinner tonight
0:24:48 > 0:24:49so we can say goodbye?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Dinner? Bit much for mates, innit?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Well, I must say I have got an ulterior motive.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Is there any chance you could do the school run tomorrow?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Listen, we'll talk later, yeah? See you in a bit.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Who said romance was dead?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I told you, there's no romance going on.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Then why do you look so disappointed?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12I'm sure she didn't mean what she said, babe, you know.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14She has had a fair bit to drink tonight.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16If she can be a nightmare, then I can, too.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Apparently, it runs in the family.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I can see people looking at me.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Let them look.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Yeah, I don't care, I can still hold my head up, can't I?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Whoops-a-daisy!
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Shame you can't hold the rest of you up.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Oh, dear.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Come on, let's get you home.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41All right, Tanya?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Hello. Look, look, it's my knight in shining armour.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48You come to save the day, have you?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Look at the state of you. Why did you let her get like this?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- I don't need anyone's permission. - You've had enough.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Get off me. Who do you think you are?
0:25:55 > 0:25:56You're not my husband.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00You don't even want me.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Well, I never said that, did I? - No?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Go on, go back to your precious Kirsty.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10She's the one you love. Know this now.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15She's the one you've got feelings for.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20All those months... all those months of treatment.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24All the time we had without sex, and now we know, don't we?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Now we know what you were thinking of.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Her.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Didn't even want to be with me, did you? Just felt sorry for me.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Poor little cancer-riddled Tanya...
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Tan, you all right? - Get off me!
0:26:47 > 0:26:48You heard her. Just go.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18I always thought that no matter what happened,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20no matter how many other women there were...
0:27:24 > 0:27:27..I always thought that I would be the one that he really cared about.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I'd be the one, you know.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35The one real love of his life.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40I'm a fool, aren't I?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I'm a fool who'll believe anything, aren't I?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Ssssh. This ain't your fault, darling!
0:27:49 > 0:27:50No, it is, Mum!
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Because...
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Because I know, I know I should be strong
0:27:58 > 0:28:00and I know I should move on and I can't.
