0:00:25 > 0:00:27Listen. Listen to me, all right?

0:00:27 > 0:00:29I'm not going to have a debate with you, cos it's very simple.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32You were served a possession order 14 days ago.

0:00:32 > 0:00:33I've been patient with you

0:00:33 > 0:00:35- and now my patience has run out. - CARMEL: Max?

0:00:35 > 0:00:37I want you out of there. By the end of today.

0:00:44 > 0:00:45And he even does the washing up.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Mind you, I've got to warn you.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Don't do laundry.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54I'll wash your socks any time.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57Say it again.

0:00:59 > 0:01:00What's that?

0:01:00 > 0:01:02You know what.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09I love ya.

0:01:13 > 0:01:14Now let's talk Marbella...

0:01:14 > 0:01:16I can't. Sorry, I'm late for work.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19Anyway, Shaki will be back soon, won't he?

0:01:19 > 0:01:21He just texted saying he's staying at his dad's

0:01:21 > 0:01:22till later on this afternoon.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24What, is that usual?

0:01:24 > 0:01:26No, don't suppose it is. Why?

0:01:26 > 0:01:29Well, it just sounds like a statement, that's all.

0:01:29 > 0:01:30"I've got a dad, thanks."

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Yeah, I wonder whether I shouldn't just give him

0:01:33 > 0:01:34a bit of space tonight?

0:01:34 > 0:01:38Not a chance. We are all eating together.

0:01:39 > 0:01:43My boys need to spend more time with you, not less.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Yeah.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Could get planning on that land? - Well, how would I know?

0:01:47 > 0:01:49What do you reckon, Ben?

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Build a couple of luxury flats, give us one each.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Oh, yeah, and why should I do that?

0:01:53 > 0:01:57Well, cos you love us? Cos you want to share your good fortune?

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Listen, you want hand-outs - talk to him.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01He's the one who's been given a profitable business,

0:02:01 > 0:02:04taken it up a level with posh coffee, massages,

0:02:04 > 0:02:06mechanics in Speedos...

0:02:06 > 0:02:10You're just jealous! Shut up an' get to work, you melt.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Oh, yeah. Right, see yous later. - See you later.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16I'd better get to work myself.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Can't have the new owner turning up late, can we?

0:02:20 > 0:02:22So what's Louise got to say about all of this, then?

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Dad's got something lined up for her.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Anyway, I can't see Lou working in a garage, can you?

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Not the Arches - the car lot.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31That must be worth loads.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34That little strip of land? What can you do with that?

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Give me a solid business any day of the week.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40Well, I'm glad you're happy. I really am.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Morning, Sharon.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Steven, it's Max. Pick up next time I call.

0:03:03 > 0:03:04I'll see you later.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Yeah.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08- All right?- All right.

0:03:09 > 0:03:10So, how was your first night?

0:03:10 > 0:03:13You know what it's like when you move into a new place.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk. Get to know the area.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18I think you'll like it round here.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21- People are nice, by and large. - Yeah, I'm sure they are.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Why don't I take you over the Vic later?

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Introduce you to some new faces.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Do you know what? I'd like that.

0:03:27 > 0:03:28- Sixish?- Yeah.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33I'm stunned. Did he tell you why?

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Not really. He said I was like a second son to him...

0:03:38 > 0:03:41which made me feel a bit weird.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Your dad would've been chuffed for you, Jay.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Like... Like I am.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47You're always going to be Jase's boy,

0:03:47 > 0:03:50but now you're a Mitchell as well.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Yeah, I'm not sure Sharon feels the same.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55- What, she said something? - Nah, just a look.

0:03:55 > 0:03:56Phil wouldn't have made a decision like this

0:03:56 > 0:03:58without running it past her first, would he? Hm?

0:04:01 > 0:04:02I didn't plan it.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Well, good to know you thought it all through.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06I told you, you're provided for.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08As well as Dennis and Louise.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10And, anyway, we agreed to give it to Ben, didn't we?

0:04:10 > 0:04:14Exactly. We agreed that. Not for Jay.

0:04:14 > 0:04:15What difference does it make?

0:04:15 > 0:04:17And anyway, it was the right thing to do.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Giving a young man who isn't your son

0:04:20 > 0:04:22three hundred grand's worth of land?

0:04:22 > 0:04:24It's only worth that if he sells it to that developer, and he won't.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26- You don't know that. - I'll make sure of it.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28I'll make it clear to him, you know,

0:04:28 > 0:04:31I want him to run a business, here in Walford, same as Ben.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34But he isn't Ben. You're not responsible for him, Phil.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36You're not his dad.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Now, look, I love Jay, you know I do,

0:04:38 > 0:04:40but I really think you should reconsider.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43I made a promise, I ain't going to change my mind.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Come on!- Sharon - end of story, all right?

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Ritchie's drawing up the paperwork, she's bringing it here today.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58You all right?

0:04:58 > 0:05:01You're not avoiding me, are you?

0:05:01 > 0:05:03- No.- Just I've called you three times this morning.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Yeah, sorry, my phone was turned off.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Well, keep that one switched on.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11That phone is for me to call you. Nothing else.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14All right, you keep it hidden. You don't tell anyone you got it.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Just that job I was telling you about.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18It's nearly time.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20I'm not a violent person, Max.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23No, well, neither am I. It's just a last resort.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24So let's hope they see sense,

0:05:24 > 0:05:26all right, so I don't have to call you.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28But if I do call you, you pick up.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Otherwise the next call I make will be to Lauren.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Give an update on that little health condition of yours.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Stace said you wanted a word.

0:05:44 > 0:05:45That's right.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50We're short-staffed.

0:05:50 > 0:05:51We need someone.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Old job's yours if you want it.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Is this a wind-up?- No.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00It goes without saying that we can't offer you any accommodation.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03But if you want the job, you can have it.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07But I don't understand.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09I thought you hated me.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13I don't...hate you.

0:06:13 > 0:06:14Just hate what you did to me.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- I'm sorry, Linda... - I didn't come here for an apology.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Just think about it.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Let me know later today.

0:06:26 > 0:06:27Thank you.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it for me.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Ey, looking smart!

0:06:56 > 0:06:58I have registered with an employment agency. They want to meet me.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Well, that's good. - What job're you going for?

0:07:00 > 0:07:03It's not a job. They find you a job.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Ha! Wait till they see you.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08They'll realise that's mission impossible, bruv.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10You just can't help yourself, can you?

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Come on, son. Go smash it.

0:07:13 > 0:07:18That's brilliant news, Ben! I'm glad your dad has seen sense.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Are you pleased?- Course.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Well, you don't seem it.

0:07:24 > 0:07:25I am...

0:07:27 > 0:07:28Come here - what is it?

0:07:33 > 0:07:36He gave Jay the car lot.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Are you sure he ain't just letting him use it?- GAVE it him, Mum.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44I know it's not about the money,

0:07:44 > 0:07:47but Abi said that land must be worth loads.

0:07:47 > 0:07:48And the Arches is leasehold -

0:07:48 > 0:07:51I don't actually own the building, just the business.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Now I'm thinking does he think more of him?

0:07:53 > 0:07:55No, no, course not.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Said Jay's like a second son.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Feels like I'm second-best.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02No, no, listen. He has got one son, all right? One.

0:08:02 > 0:08:03And that is you.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06- And if he's giving away three hundred grand...- How much?

0:08:06 > 0:08:07He just can't help himself, can he?

0:08:07 > 0:08:10He gives with one hand and takes away with the other.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15So I can understand Ben. And Tony's son.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Even baby Ray at a push.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19But Jay?

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Do you think maybe Phil could be Jay's dad on the quiet?

0:08:23 > 0:08:24No!

0:08:24 > 0:08:26But I got you thinking?

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Well, after all this baby Ray business, who knows?

0:08:29 > 0:08:33Nah. Jay's dad was called Jase, so, whatever the reason, it ain't that.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Think maybe you're overthinking this?

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- How do you mean?- Phil nearly died.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40You said yourself he's got a new perspective on life -

0:08:40 > 0:08:43making amends for the past, giving away his worldly goods -

0:08:43 > 0:08:47so maybe this gift to Jay is part of the process.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49A kid he likes, not a penny to his name...

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Got plenty now, though, ain't he?

0:08:51 > 0:08:52Come on, Sharon.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55You said yourself he's put money aside for you,

0:08:55 > 0:08:57plus I know you've got plenty of your own stashed away.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00It's not about me being greedy. It's about trust,

0:09:00 > 0:09:03you know, trying to understand why my husband would do this to me.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06He hasn't done anything to you - he's done something for Jay.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08And that ain't Jay's fault.

0:09:08 > 0:09:09I know you're fond of him -

0:09:09 > 0:09:11don't let this get between you.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Thanks a lot.- Thanks.

0:09:15 > 0:09:16How we all getting to the airport?

0:09:16 > 0:09:20I was thinking maybe we should book one of them minibus taxis.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22- Vincent's driving.- But how's he going to fit us all in?

0:09:25 > 0:09:26Oh, it's fine.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30We'll get a cab and meet you at check-in.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33You see, Carmel,

0:09:33 > 0:09:36it's difficult organising for a large group, you know?

0:09:36 > 0:09:39Maybe we should organise ourselves, you know? What do you think?

0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46I'll see you later.

0:09:46 > 0:09:47See you.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Made your mind up?

0:09:55 > 0:09:59Yeah. I'd like to come back, if that's all right.

0:10:00 > 0:10:01It's fine.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04I'll... I'll sort out a new rota

0:10:04 > 0:10:05and you can start later this week.

0:10:07 > 0:10:08Great. Thanks.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17L. L?

0:10:18 > 0:10:20You don't have to do this.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23I'll tell her it was a mistake, and that it was a bad idea.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25No.

0:10:26 > 0:10:27Why?

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Because I ain't having people like Fi judging our marriage,

0:10:30 > 0:10:33thinking that we're not strong enough to cope with what happened.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35What, so Fi knows?

0:10:35 > 0:10:37She guessed.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39This is nothing to do with Fi.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42Will you stop making this harder than it is.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44I've made the decision and that's that.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Besides, we need the best staff behind that bar

0:10:46 > 0:10:48if we're going to keep a roof over our heads.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50- There's other bar staff. - Yeah, but we know she works.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52And if Whitney helps convince a dozen lairy builders

0:10:52 > 0:10:55that this is where they should spend their cash,

0:10:55 > 0:10:57I will stick her behind that bar all day and all night.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59I'm fine, Mick, really.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Making plans?

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Well, I've always liked selling cars, so I might do that again.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11You in the garage, me with a dealership.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14You mend 'em and I'll flog 'em, yeah?

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Two businesses side by side, two mates.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Well, not just mates - brothers.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25You're all right with everything, ain't you?

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Yeah, course. Why wouldn't I be?

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Dunno. You might've expected all this'd be yours too one day.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Nah, got the Arches, ain't I?

0:11:35 > 0:11:38See, everyone's thinking about what we've been given,

0:11:38 > 0:11:39but it's not about that, is it?

0:11:41 > 0:11:44It's about the reason for giving it.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47You know, your dad giving you the Arches and me this land -

0:11:47 > 0:11:50it's like he's saying, "Well, I trust you."

0:11:50 > 0:11:53"You're good enough." You understand that, don't you?

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Yeah, yeah, course I do.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06What's Ben got to be upset about?

0:12:06 > 0:12:08I've given him everything he's always wanted.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Ah, but you couldn't resist taking the shine off it, could you?

0:12:11 > 0:12:15I mean, giving Jay the car lot just taps into all his old insecurities.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17He knows it's worth more, you know.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19And what do you do? You go and give it to Jay.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21Why?

0:12:21 > 0:12:23I told you, I didn't want to profit from that land.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26No, and you don't want your son to profit either, do you,

0:12:26 > 0:12:28but it's all right if Jay does. So, why?

0:12:31 > 0:12:34You don't want to tell me? Fine.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38But if you value your relationship with our son,

0:12:38 > 0:12:39I suggest you explain it to him.

0:12:43 > 0:12:44What is it you don't like about him?

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Did I say I didn't like him?

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Well, not in so many words, but that's the vibe.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52All I said is that I don't want to eat dinner with...

0:12:52 > 0:12:53your whatever-he-is.

0:12:55 > 0:13:00My boyfriend? So it's not Max, it's just that he's my boyfriend.

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Will you stop saying "boyfriend"?

0:13:01 > 0:13:03Gives me chills.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06And, yes, I don't ask you to chow down with my girlfriend, do I?

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Well, you don't have one - or do you?

0:13:09 > 0:13:10No.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13And I probably never will if I'm stuck in with my mum every night.

0:13:13 > 0:13:14It's one night.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16And you do this for me,

0:13:16 > 0:13:19I might see my way to doing something for you...

0:13:20 > 0:13:21What?

0:13:21 > 0:13:24Well, I was wondering what to do with you while I'm away.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27I know we talked about you staying with your dad,

0:13:27 > 0:13:29but there is another option.

0:13:30 > 0:13:31What - I can stay here?

0:13:31 > 0:13:33You scratch my back...

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Fine. I'll eat with the man.

0:13:37 > 0:13:38Good.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41But there are conditions while I'm away -

0:13:41 > 0:13:45no parties, no girls and, above all, no Keegan Baker.

0:13:46 > 0:13:47We clear?

0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Mine's a pint. - All right. Just two pints.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Didn't expect to see you here.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10No, well, Carmel's cooking,

0:14:10 > 0:14:11so I've got a bit of time to kill.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Well, let's hope she serves you something delicious.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15Or at least edible.

0:14:15 > 0:14:16PHONE BEEPS

0:14:16 > 0:14:18MAX TUTS

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Problem?

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Just getting pressure from the top.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25You know, get that flat cleared.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28I sent a locksmith round there - change the locks.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30I thought they were out, but they weren't.

0:14:30 > 0:14:31Must think I'm a soft touch.

0:14:31 > 0:14:32And are you?

0:14:32 > 0:14:36If they're not out by tonight, I'm going to go to Plan B.

0:14:45 > 0:14:46Sharon, are we OK?

0:14:46 > 0:14:48Yeah. Why shouldn't we be?

0:14:50 > 0:14:52I dunno. You just seem angry with me.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54It's not you I'm angry with.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57Well, what is it? I mean, is it the car lot?

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Well, it was a surprise.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Phil never mentioned it to me.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03I'll get used to the idea.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07You don't have to. You and Phil, you're important to me,

0:15:07 > 0:15:09more important than some poxy piece of land,

0:15:09 > 0:15:12so if giving it me's going to change things, then I don't want it.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14- Don't be daft.- I mean it, Sharon.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17I was happy without it. Makes no difference to me.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19I'm going to speak to him.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Jay.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Do you know what? I think Phil made the right decision after all.

0:15:29 > 0:15:30Take it with my blessing, yeah?

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Oh, Shaks, man. We're going to tear the place up!

0:15:42 > 0:15:45- How'd it go?- Oh, it was a disaster.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Knew it.- They said I wouldn't be up to it.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49What did I tell you? Muppets, the lot of 'em!

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Give me their number, I'll call 'em now.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54I ain't havin' no-one tell my son he ain't up to it.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Why you smiling?

0:15:58 > 0:16:00They said they'd be happy to put me on their books.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Lined me up with a first interview there and then.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Doing what?- Advertising. Can you believe it?

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Checked the weather in Marbella earlier. It's going to be boiling.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Lovely.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25So what do you like to do on holiday?

0:16:25 > 0:16:29Like to sit by the pool, or like to go and explore?

0:16:29 > 0:16:30Depends.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36What do you like to do?

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Our mum.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44Um... No, there's a golf course near the resort.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47I thought maybe you, me and Vincent could, you know,

0:16:47 > 0:16:49play a couple of rounds?

0:16:49 > 0:16:52- That's a brilliant idea. You'd love that, wouldn't you, Kushy?- Yeah.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10- This is lovely.- Thanks.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12I started cooking more fish

0:17:12 > 0:17:15when Shaki was taking his exams.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18People say it's good for the brain.

0:17:20 > 0:17:21And was it?

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Guess we'll find out in a week.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Yeah. No, it's a difficult time.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27I remember it with my girls.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32They did all right, though, didn't they?

0:17:32 > 0:17:36Er...not as well as they'd hoped, actually. I mean, Abi especially.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38She had ambitions, she wanted to be a vet,

0:17:38 > 0:17:42but she didn't get the grades.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Do you know what you want to do?

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Nope.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Still young. Plenty of time.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51What subjects do you enjoy?

0:17:51 > 0:17:52Are we really going to do this?

0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Shaki!- What?

0:17:54 > 0:17:55I agreed to sit here,

0:17:55 > 0:17:57but I'm not going to have him trawling over my life

0:17:57 > 0:17:59like some third-rate careers advisor.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Come on, that's out of order.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03You don't even want him to be here any more than I do!

0:18:03 > 0:18:05- Go upstairs to your room! - What am I, seven years old?

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Upstairs!

0:18:20 > 0:18:22WHISPERS: I am so sorry.

0:18:27 > 0:18:28Dad?

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Dad, you in?

0:19:03 > 0:19:05Ooh!

0:19:05 > 0:19:08What you doing in here? Get back in there. Talk to Max.

0:19:10 > 0:19:11Not you too.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13OK, I'm not going to lie to you, Mum.

0:19:13 > 0:19:14I don't...

0:19:14 > 0:19:19I don't feel comfortable about all this.

0:19:19 > 0:19:20You've only just got together, right,

0:19:20 > 0:19:24and now it's family meals and taking him on holiday.

0:19:25 > 0:19:29Isn't it all just a bit too quick?

0:19:29 > 0:19:32Relationships have a speed of their own.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Can't fight it.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35Take you and Denise.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38I mean, once you'd hit your stride,

0:19:38 > 0:19:41do you think you could've speeded things up

0:19:41 > 0:19:42or slowed things down?

0:19:44 > 0:19:46I know you're worried about me,

0:19:46 > 0:19:48but there's no need.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52He's just a nice, normal guy,

0:19:52 > 0:19:53and I am happy.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Happier than I've been in a long time.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01Try to be happy for me?

0:20:04 > 0:20:07OK. Come on.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Meet me outside the restaurant.

0:20:26 > 0:20:27Five minutes.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34DOOR CLOSES

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Ben?

0:20:39 > 0:20:41What're you doing here?

0:20:43 > 0:20:44Where's Lou?

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Gone to see Bex. Why?

0:20:50 > 0:20:51Who the hell is Raymond?

0:20:57 > 0:21:02Sorry, they think there's a cracked water pipe. Three flats flooded.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05- But you have plumbers for emergencies, right?- Yeah, course.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07It's just... No, there's this old girl -

0:21:07 > 0:21:09she's a friend of Dot's, actually, from church -

0:21:09 > 0:21:11she's a bit senile, she's panicking.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14Probably thinks it's the Great Flood, so...

0:21:14 > 0:21:16I might be able to calm her down.

0:21:16 > 0:21:17Is that all right?

0:21:17 > 0:21:18Yeah.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20Your summer pudding'll keep.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Mind you, with me gone, Shaki might show his face.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25I'm so sorry.

0:21:25 > 0:21:26That's all right. Don't be stupid.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Sorry I have to shoot off.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30It's good to spend a bit of time with you.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33- Yeah, you too, mate.- Yeah.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39All right. Well, thanks for dinner. It was lovely.

0:21:39 > 0:21:40See you tomorrow?

0:21:40 > 0:21:42Try and stop me.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46- See you later.- Yeah.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53See? Underneath it all, he's got a heart of gold.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10How're you doing?

0:22:10 > 0:22:12I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Well, Whitney's back. Just checking you're OK.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16Well, thanks for your concern.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18I'm doing pretty good now, actually.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Yeah, after our chat yesterday,

0:22:20 > 0:22:23I asked myself what else would make the business better.

0:22:23 > 0:22:24Do you remember Tracey?

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Tracey makes the business better.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30No, I think Tracey's great,

0:22:30 > 0:22:31you know I do.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34But we're trying to gently push the pub in a different direction.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36It's done. I offered her the job and she accepted.

0:22:41 > 0:22:42So that's Mick.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45He runs this place and he's married to Linda,

0:22:45 > 0:22:47the one in the flamingo top.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50Sorry, you probably don't need a complete guide to Walford, do you?

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Actually, I probably do. Quicker I get to know people, the better.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56I bet you've got plenty of friends.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59My girlfriend took custody of most of our friends after we split.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Oh, sorry to hear that.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03Was it recent?

0:23:03 > 0:23:05Few months ago now.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07It's taken me this long to shake off the self-pity.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Think I'm ready now, though.- Ready?

0:23:10 > 0:23:13Get on with my life. Meet new people.

0:23:13 > 0:23:14Start again.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Took your time.- What do you want me to do, Max? I'm working.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23Listen to me, all right? I've tried.

0:23:23 > 0:23:24They won't go. I need you to step up.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Yeah, but what if I said I don't want to do it?

0:23:26 > 0:23:28Listen to me, all right?

0:23:28 > 0:23:31I've got to do things I don't want to do every single day of my life.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36One of which is keeping your sick little cancer scam

0:23:36 > 0:23:37a secret from my daughter.

0:23:44 > 0:23:45Right, right, how?

0:23:45 > 0:23:50After work, I want you to borrow Ian's car, drive across London,

0:23:50 > 0:23:53go to a petrol station where no-one knows you, fill up a petrol can...

0:23:53 > 0:23:56Petrol can - why?

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Well, cos I want 'em gone, Steven.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08If you're just going to stand there, maybe I should phone Ritchie.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10- No.- So tell me, then!

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Who's Raymond, and why are you leaving him money?

0:24:13 > 0:24:15I mean, I've never even heard of him.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Like, what is it - has he got something on you?

0:24:17 > 0:24:19No!

0:24:23 > 0:24:24He's your brother.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29The baby that Denise put up for adoption.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31That's Raymond.

0:24:32 > 0:24:33Ray.

0:24:35 > 0:24:36You and Denise?

0:24:36 > 0:24:39I was drinking at the time, weren't I?

0:24:39 > 0:24:40It was a mistake.

0:24:40 > 0:24:41For both of us.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Sharon know?

0:24:44 > 0:24:46We weren't together then.

0:24:46 > 0:24:47Were you ever going to tell me?

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Maybe one day, yeah.

0:24:53 > 0:24:54I've got another brother.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58Well, it don't change things.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00He ain't going to be part of our lives.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02So why are you leaving him money?

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Felt guilty, I suppose. I felt like I owed him.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Why do you never feel like that about me?

0:25:08 > 0:25:10It's different with you, innit?

0:25:10 > 0:25:13I mean, I was always there for you, weren't I?

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Not at the start. All those years in South Africa?

0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Not a word.- You can blame your mother for that, all right? I tried.

0:25:19 > 0:25:20Not hard enough.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Did you ever want me?

0:25:27 > 0:25:31Come on, Dad, simple question - did you ever want me?

0:25:31 > 0:25:32I fought for you!

0:25:32 > 0:25:35I fought for you to be here by my side.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37The way I see it, is you just couldn't stand the thought

0:25:37 > 0:25:39of me being with Ian.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41You was too young to understand what was going on then.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Yeah, but not how it felt.

0:25:45 > 0:25:49I don't think you've ever really wanted me.

0:25:52 > 0:25:57When you gave me the Arches, it felt...

0:25:59 > 0:26:01..amazing.

0:26:02 > 0:26:06Cos finally, finally, it wasn't just words no more.

0:26:07 > 0:26:08You were showing me.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14But you couldn't let me have that, could you?

0:26:15 > 0:26:17You had to knock me down.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19I'm giving you this, but I'm giving Jay that -

0:26:19 > 0:26:23and everyone's telling me that what you're giving Jay,

0:26:23 > 0:26:24it's worth more!

0:26:25 > 0:26:27He's worth more.

0:26:27 > 0:26:28Ben, there's reasons.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31- What reasons?- I can't tell you,

0:26:31 > 0:26:34but all you need to know is I felt I had to do that for Jay...

0:26:34 > 0:26:40Ha-ha! I guess I'm finally back to where I belong,

0:26:40 > 0:26:43a few paces behind Louise, Dennis, Jay,

0:26:43 > 0:26:47this little sprog, and anyone else you want to throw in the mix!

0:26:54 > 0:26:55Do you know what?

0:26:57 > 0:26:59Stuff your gift.

0:27:03 > 0:27:04You keep the Arches.
