0:00:24 > 0:00:27- You seen a blue folder? - One sec. Kids! Breakfast!
0:00:27 > 0:00:29It's important, Bianca!
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Mum. Oh, don't tell me there's no hot water again.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35No. No, it's fine. Go to work.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Blue folder - I only put it down five minutes ago.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Here it is.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Oh, great. It's like a black hole in here.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51This is a business plan that's going to transform this family's future.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53All right. Georgie's Gold, or East is East?
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Is there one there called A Mug And His Money Are Easily Parted?
0:00:57 > 0:00:59It's Friday 13th, innit? I'm always up to my ears in bad luck
0:00:59 > 0:01:02so I thought today would be the day I change that.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Well, I like to make my own luck.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- See you later, Carol.- See you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Ah! Look at you two gorgeous creatures.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26If there are two more beautiful women walking this planet I ain't seen them.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Ignore him, B. He's up to something when he's like this.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30No, no, no, I just think, you know,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33maybe a little something might just slightly improve...
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Look at that! - Are you having a laugh?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39You're as bad as Terry. You need therapy, the pair of ya.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Girls, please! The kids look at me as Santa round here,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- what are they going to think if they see Santa with no elves? - It's obvious, innit?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47They're in the North Pole making presents.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Come on. Do it for Christmas. Do it for the little children.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Oh, give it here. - Good girl! Look at that!
0:01:54 > 0:01:58You won't get very far in the North Pole in them boots, will ya?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Wahey! Beautiful!
0:02:00 > 0:02:04I must say, Kat, I've never seen you look more attractive.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Shut up!- See you later!
0:02:07 > 0:02:12Where's your costume, Mr Grinch? Oi, don't ignore me.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Me and Alfie are keeping that pub afloat, you should be more grateful. - Go away, Kat!
0:02:16 > 0:02:19You ain't had a sniff of a real buyer, have you?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Who buys a pub at Christmas?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Yeah, I'll be with you in a sec. Take your time, why don't you?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Sorry, time just ran away from me.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- You're going to have to cover the afternoon shift as well, Marie's called in with the flu.- I can't.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39There's no such word as "can't" when you work for me.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43OK? Customers and counter are there. See you in eight hours.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Carol, coffee, take away, please.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Yeah, all right, yeah.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Not even no ketchup - what sort of apology breakfast is this?
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Why don't you just stop your noise
0:02:53 > 0:02:56and make the tea, instead of stressing out my life, yeah?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59MOBILE RINGS
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Abi's phone's been ringing all morning.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Yeah, well, she obviously doesn't want to talk to him.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Morning.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Morning. Here you go, cuz, I know it's not a lot but...
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I just wanted to say sorry.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23I shouldn't have let you find out like that and I shouldn't have lied.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- I should've just listened to Lola, she wanted to...- What?- Oh, my God.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Lola knew?!
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Abs, listen... Come on, Abs, let me just...
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Do me a favour.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44If ever we fall out - just don't try and apologise.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54All right. Knocked off for Christmas already, have ya?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Far from it, actually. Ta. Here you are.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- What's this? - A business plan. Vintage motors.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Not the whole fleet - just enough to give us a speciality.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Build up a reputation.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Oh, yeah? For what?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Flogging motors no sane person wants to drive any more?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Max, used cars are ten a penny round here, ain't they?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15We need to find a niche in the market,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- something that gets the punters coming in from all over. - No, all right? Forget about it.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21A few clapped out old Fiestas and a tired old sign.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22- What does that say? - It says all it needs to say.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25It says we ain't got any ambition beyond that forecourt.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28When it says Wicks up on that sign you can have a bit of ambition.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Till then, do your job, and keep your mouth shut.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Cheers.- Cheers.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I thought you'd be at the club.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39No. Sharon can manage.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Want me to pick up Amy later from school?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Yeah. Great.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46No problem.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Do us one of them, will ya?
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Oh, listen, some bloke called for you earlier. Said he couldn't get through on your mobile.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- About the Vic?- You know who those blokes are, don't you?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I checked them out online.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00They're trying to buy up pubs all over the East End, turning them into flats, making a packet.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Forget the tea, yeah?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Ho-ho-ho!
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Because it's Christmas, and... - Yeah, we get it.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16You know you look like a right prat in that get up?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19That's your opinion. Fortunately my clients don't seem to agree.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Since when does a postie have "clients"?- He means letter boxes.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I mean the people in my community
0:05:24 > 0:05:27who value my services enough to tip me at Christmas.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30You got that lot for putting junk mail through people's doors?
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Yeah, that's right.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Course, if I walked round with a face like a wet fish
0:05:34 > 0:05:35it might be a different story.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40What's he trying to say?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Stick a smile on it, Shirl. You might reap the benefits.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Janine. Janine!
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Look, whatever it is, I don't have time.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Five minutes.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Two minutes then.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Either that's the stench of desperation
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- or you really need to change your aftershave. - I want to buy the car lot.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Max don't have the vision to see past next Tuesday.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03If I ain't in charge, Janine, I ain't going anywhere fast.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06And you haven't got two farthings to rub together.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08And - let me guess - that's where I come in?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I can make money. You know that. This could be a win-win situation for both of us.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14If you're so good at making money, why are you sleeping
0:06:14 > 0:06:17on your ex's couch and truffling round the Square for scraps?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Read this.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29All right, Tel? Bit early for you, innit, mate?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Friday the 13th, mate.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I do not work Friday the 13th, because I am a bad luck magnet,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36and there is not any chance of me risking getting in a cab.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38All right!
0:06:38 > 0:06:39So I thought today might be different,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41so went down the bookies.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Twenty quid down the drain.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44So I thought the best thing was
0:06:44 > 0:06:46to have the safety of your lovely boozer
0:06:46 > 0:06:50with the paper and a pint of your finest. Let's face it, nothing can happen to me in here, can it?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Safe as houses. This bad luck ain't going to follow you all the way to Christmas.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59Not unless I've got to go to my sister's with my mum and my old man. Believe me, that ain't happening.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Trace, sort out Terry for me, darling.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Pint, please, Alfie. And a double vodka tonic for the lady.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I'll be back in a minute.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Rox, listen, I know it's none of my business
0:07:14 > 0:07:16but I'm not hearing good things about him.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17You're going to miss it, aren't you?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Sticking your oar in where it don't belong
0:07:20 > 0:07:23when this place goes to the highest bidder.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Yeah. Phil had a call earlier from some property developers.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Apparently they want to turn this place into flats.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Ian got you running this place on your own these days?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Yeah. Looks that way. - See you later, Carol.- See you.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46What're you doing here?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I thought you were going to go see Alice?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I've had a nightmare of a morning.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55You can't back out now, Carol. You know she won't see me. I need you to go there and talk to her.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- I think after everything that's happened you owe me this, don't you? - I'm sorry. I can't. Not today.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02OK. We'll just leave her to rot then, yeah?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11David, when you get a minute we've got a couple of punters out there.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Need me to reel them in, do you, Max?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Yeah. I keep forgetting you're the best salesman ever to walk the Earth.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Let's just say I've got the gift of bringing people round
0:08:19 > 0:08:20to my way of thinking.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Don't eat yellow snow.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33I hope Lexi grows up to get your looks and not your sense of humour.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Shirl, you're not going to get tips like that.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37You're not exactly filled with the Christmas spirit.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Except for when you've been down the Vic for a few hours...
0:08:40 > 0:08:41No, you can't have a bag.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Abi, erm...I heard what happened.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Just that, thanks.
0:08:54 > 0:08:5970p. Ho-ho-ho(!)
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- Abi, I haven't... - Oh, what, Lola?!
0:09:01 > 0:09:04What? You want to ask me how I'm doing?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Do the whole best friend thing?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Lie to my face, like you've been doing for months?
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Look, Abi, it wasn't like that... Abi, I'm sorry!
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I promised Kat I'd help her pack up the stall
0:09:19 > 0:09:22so you can handle dinner tonight, yeah? See you later.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Bianca, wait!
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Carol, you can't put stuff down there, it's unhygienic!
0:09:32 > 0:09:33Would you have me grow another set of arms?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Just put a bit of effort in. - I don't want to work all day, I'm done in.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I want to leave at three o'clock at the latest.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40All right, mate.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43What's he done?!
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Ian, do you hear me? Three o'clock!
0:09:45 > 0:09:46All right.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Do us a couple of coffees for me and Max, will ya?- Take away?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Yeah. You all right, Carol?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I've been stuck in here all day, I've had to let Alice down
0:09:54 > 0:09:56and now Bianca wants me to get the kids' tea.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Well, that's something I can help with.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59It's fine. I can manage.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Carol, I've just flogged a Fiesta with no gearbox,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04I'm sure I can manage a few fish fingers.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06D'you mind? Sorry. Ta.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10So, I'll have a nice hot meal waiting for you tonight.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13With any luck we'll have something to celebrate.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Ta-ra.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17No, no, no, I don't want to hear it.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19From now on, you don't say nothing to anyone.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Stay away from me, from Abi...
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I was trying to help. You know I talk too much...
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Does this look like a social club to you? Sling your hook.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Is it true?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I just had a phone call from Alfie
0:10:34 > 0:10:37saying you're selling the Vic to some corporation.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Roxy.- So it is true?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42What's it got to do with you?
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Phil, the Vic's not just a pub - it's part of our community.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Our heritage.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53My old man drank in there. His old man did.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55You rip the Vic out of the Square, what will we have left?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I'll have quite a bit left, as it happens.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- Especially once the cheque clears. - Phil, don't do it.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06If you care about this community, just...
0:11:06 > 0:11:08just don't.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19My final offer of the day, I'll knock 10% off.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Yeah?- It's all right, man. - Hey, she loves it! Come on.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Suit yourselves.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29The famous Wicks charm scores again.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33I've got a nice little runaround out back, one careful owner.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36In David-speak, that means one careful owner,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38100,000 miles on the clock, and dodgy brakes.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Actually I just came to say thank you
0:11:41 > 0:11:44for putting this really thoughtful gift through my letter box.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I think a begging letter might've been more honest.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48It was knocking around at home, Janine,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I've been meaning to give it to you for days.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Oh, right? And, what, did you expect me to look at it,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56start thinking about Pat and Dad,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58start talking about family, how we should all stick together,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01then you sit back and wait for me to write a great big fat cheque?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Don't knock it, Janine.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06This place is a gold mine in the right hands.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Please! Look at it. It's hardly investment material, is it?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Enough for your old man, weren't it? Look, just hear me out.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15No games. Just an honest proposal.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18You can't be honest, David. You don't know how.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Well, it'll be a laugh watching me try, then, won't it? Come on.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26What are you doing back?
0:12:26 > 0:12:32I had to pick up some paperwork. And call that firm back.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37They must really want the pub.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39They want an answer by the end of the day.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Phil, can I ask a favour?
0:12:42 > 0:12:43You know if you do sell the pub,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46and the money clears...
0:12:46 > 0:12:49can I have a loan of 20 grand?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Am I allowed to ask what for?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Well, you can ask.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I'll think about it.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04I'd offer you a cuppa but I know you don't drink instant.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06How do you even get out of bed in the morning?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Believe it or not, Janine, I like coming here.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14You used to be, like, flash cars, designer suit...
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Knock off, all of 'em.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18But you wore them so well though.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21And now look at you. I mean...
0:13:21 > 0:13:24You think this is me down on my luck?
0:13:24 > 0:13:25This is nothing, trust me.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Oh! Poor David.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I don't want sympathy, Janine.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30You want the truth?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I can't do it any more.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Roaming around, and bouncing from place to place.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39I just don't want it any more.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I've got a home here. I've got roots.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46I need to show Carol and Bianca that I'm back here for good.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48I want my name over that door.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Yeah, but...of this place?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Well, OK, it's a tin can with mould on the windows
0:13:54 > 0:13:56but I made a go of it before.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58So, yeah. Yeah, this place.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04With all your money, don't you ever want to own something real?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Oh, I think you'll find I own many real properties
0:14:07 > 0:14:10that yield a very real income.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12No, I mean real in here.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Something that gets your juices flowing.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Something that gets you out of a warm bed on a cold morning.
0:14:19 > 0:14:25Think about it! This place, back in the right hands.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27A proper family business.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33You know what's sad?
0:14:33 > 0:14:38You used to be a flash car with a fast engine.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41And now you're just a rusty old cut-and-shut
0:14:41 > 0:14:43that not even you could sell.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48Come on, I mean, it's hardly investment material, is it?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Thanks, though, for the trip down memory lane.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Hi? Excuse me. Do you still work here
0:15:07 > 0:15:09or are we going to have to get behind the counter
0:15:09 > 0:15:11and serve ourselves?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14I tell you what, tell Ian his customers can go hungry.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Cos...I've had enough. Excuse me.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Goodbye.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24You know what happens to communities
0:15:24 > 0:15:26when their local gets taken away, don't ya?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I've seen it driving round in the cab. Ghost town.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32I had this fantasy that some fat cat would come in
0:15:32 > 0:15:34and buy this boozer, and keep me on as manager.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- It could still happen. - Pity I'm out the running.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40All right, not that I was ever in it.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42To the Queen Victoria.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44An East End beauty taken away from us too soon.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Yeah. To the Queen V.- Queen V.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52Hello.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55She's done what?!
0:15:55 > 0:15:57How many tips d'you get, then?
0:15:57 > 0:16:0025p. And 13 sarky comments.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07You know, some day you and me,
0:16:07 > 0:16:09we won't be at the bottom of the pile round here.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Thinking of buying the place, ladies?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Ian called.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27If you've come to have a go, I ain't interested.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I'm here cos I know how you feel.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31And I don't envy you.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49David?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Wow. 20 missed calls from Jay.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Ten from Lola.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28You're popular at last.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35They lied to me. For months.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I'm not going to let people treat me like that.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Good for you.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Can I just say one thing, though?
0:17:44 > 0:17:51If you did want to forgive him... it wouldn't make you like Mum.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54This is nothing to do with Mum.
0:17:54 > 0:18:00I know. I know. I'm just saying.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21- Rox.- Hey.- Hey.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25I thought you might want to come with me to pick up Amy from nursery.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I thought I might stay here if that's OK.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29All right.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Will you be home to give her dinner or shall I do that too?
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Yeah. You don't mind, do you?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36No. Course not. I'll see you later.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- Do you want another drink?- Yes.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Going to start playing nice now?
0:18:47 > 0:18:48My sister means the world to me.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52And nothing is going to change that.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53You sound so confident.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02It's a lot more than it's worth.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Tell me about it.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06And you're not sure what they're going to do with it?
0:19:06 > 0:19:10They could keep it as is. Or give it a bit of a makeover.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Yeah. Or knock it down and sling it in the nearest skip.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15And would that really be such a bad thing?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Sharon, this is the Vic we're talking about,
0:19:17 > 0:19:19not some two-bit gaff on the High Street.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Who do you think you're talking to? I've spent half my life in there.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26I've stood behind that bar, thinking nothing could touch me.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28And I've been the kid kneeling on the landing
0:19:28 > 0:19:31listening to Mum and Dad having yet another row.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Knowing life would never be the same again.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36So you know.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40I know that the best and the worst things
0:19:40 > 0:19:43that have ever happened to me have happened in that pub.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44And me and you.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48What side of the line does that fall on?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Me and you? Which time?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Dad would have had his hands round your throat
0:19:53 > 0:19:56if he thought you were selling the Vic off for a bit of scrap.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57And Mum.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Well, at the end of the day, they don't live here, do they?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06So you'd rather it was gone? Just a hole in the ground?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11What do you think about, eh?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Every time you walk past that place?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I try not to.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24I thought you didn't want me. You didn't want our baby.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28You kept going on about your future without saying how I was going to fit into it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Yeah, because I thought we'd work that part out together.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33And we still can work that bit out together!
0:20:33 > 0:20:34I'm scared!
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Because I trusted you so much. And now...
0:20:39 > 0:20:44Look, I know I ruined things. But, please, Abs...
0:20:44 > 0:20:45No, Jay, listen to me.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I know it was just a kiss.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54And I know we'd just been through something massive.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56But I don't want us to waste years
0:20:56 > 0:20:59splitting up and getting back together
0:20:59 > 0:21:01and never really being happy.
0:21:01 > 0:21:07- We won't!- We might. And I've seen that, and I won't do it.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Not to either of us.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16I can't promise you that we won't have our problems.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20But I can promise you that when we do, I'll be straight with you.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24No more lies. Just me and you.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Between Rox hanging about with him and Phil selling this place
0:21:55 > 0:21:57we're getting a bad reputation round here.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Speak for yourself. I ain't no Mitchell.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Yes, you are. And don't you ever forget it, right?
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Where you going?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06One minute.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Buy us a drink, Bill.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11How comes whenever you two come in here I've got to buy the round?
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Because we're skint.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14You know what, we'll be having Christmas dinner
0:22:14 > 0:22:17at the community centre with Dot's old codgers at this rate.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Feeling sorry for us yet? - Nope. Trace? Sort them out.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Here, Rox? Fancy a shot?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- A party with me's better than one with him.- Ha-ha! Yes, please!
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Cos I turned you down you want to mess things up with me and Abi?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- It's not like that!- What is it, then? I don't understand you any more.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- I was having a bad week and it just slipped out...- But I...
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Yous going to get a round in, or...?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Hang on a minute! Are yous two...?
0:22:40 > 0:22:45One mistake isn't worth ruining everything we've got.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47So are we all right, Abs?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I'm sorry!
0:22:49 > 0:22:53You see, look at that! You two back together. That's right.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Where are you going?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Look, it's like you said, man, I ain't been myself recently.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I need to sort out my head.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I don't want to be the one that ruins everything all the time.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08I'm sorry, though.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Dex, don't go. We'll help you out.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Abs, this is my thing. I'm going to sort it out, yeah?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30You're both fired. Merry Christmas.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Wait, what?!
0:23:31 > 0:23:33It's nothing personal, all right, Lucy,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- I just need to free up some cash. - You can't do that. It's illegal.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40That is true. But my lawyers are bigger and better than yours.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Janine - it's Christmas.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Exactly. What better time to invest in a family business?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56I'd better go and get Denny from Dot's.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59So, uh... What am I going to tell them?
0:24:00 > 0:24:04You asked me what I think about when I walk past the Vic. Ghosts.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08I used to think that pub was the only place I'd ever be happy.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Now I know I could never go back.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34One thing. I asked you to do one little thing...
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Sorry, the day didn't exactly go as planned.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Shall I nip down the chippy or something?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41You come back here, ignore me when I say you're not welcome...
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Hey, why am I public enemy number one all of a sudden?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Cause trouble with me and Mas, sit on your backside
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- while I try to stop this family falling apart...- I don't need this!
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- You can't even get a packet of fish fingers from the Minute Mart!- If you knew what I'd been doing all day...
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- Swanning round in your cheap suit, mouthing off, achieving nothing?- No!
0:24:56 > 0:24:59I've been humiliating myself! Getting down on bended knee to Janine
0:24:59 > 0:25:02like a pathetic waste of space, and for why?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04For us. For this family. For our future.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Oh, you think that's funny? Me trying to do something right?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10That is the funniest thing that's come out your mouth in years.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Carol, I really don't know what's...
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- You've been making empty promises for 30 years!- I'm sorry!
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- It's pathetic, useless, and I'm sick of it.- Mum?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Get out of here! I said get out of here!- Oi!- Get out!- All right!
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Mum? What is the matter with you?!
0:25:48 > 0:25:50It's done.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Good.

0:25:56 > 0:25:5820 grand?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02And you ain't going to tell me what it's for?
0:26:02 > 0:26:03You're having a laugh, in't ya?

0:26:25 > 0:26:27You know what? Those Brannings are a pain in the backside.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Carol dropped me right in it at the caff earlier.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Here you go, mate. Get your laughing gear round that, on the house.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Thank you very much!- You're welcome. - Oi, Santa. You forgot something.

0:26:52 > 0:26:56Oh, I've just spoke to Phil, and he's agreed to sell me this place.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57What is the point in having all that money
0:26:57 > 0:27:01if you don't spend it on something that gets your pulse racing?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03And I have always thought
0:27:03 > 0:27:06that a landlady works much better behind the bar here.
