00:00I called the care home every day and nobody ever said anything. It was no change, that's
00:17all I ever got, no change. And then, somebody must have seen this coming. You visited her.
00:30You must have seen she was getting worse. I don't know any more than you do. Debbie
00:36did have pneumonia a while back. Maybe that had something to do with it. Yeah. I mean,
00:43the human body is a mystery sometimes. These things can take us all by surprise. I'm so
00:49sorry for your loss. Rhys said that Debbie was a wonderful woman. Yes. Thank you. And
00:57who are you? This is Sonia, my landlady.
01:27What the hell do you think you're doing? What someone should have done a long time ago.
01:32Me and her aren't exactly friends, but even I haven't thrown her out of the house, Vinnie.
01:35I'm sorry, but she's made her bed, Mum. All this because I mouthed off a bit in the restaurant?
01:39No one trashes my father's reputation and gets away with it, not while I'm around. Wow,
01:42his reputation, I've heard it all now. I did not sleep with that wrinkly old man. Do you
01:47know why he's doing this? He's doing this because his pride got hurt because I wouldn't
01:51go anywhere near him. Priya, you are not welcome in this house no more. What, and that's just
01:56that. Are you just going to sit there? Last time I checked, this was your house. Sorry,
02:01Priya, I've tried. I've got nowhere else to go. You'd really just see me out on the street
02:08then, yeah? Well, look at the bright side, at least you've still got a job. For now.
02:17You are disgusting. That was a bit dramatic, given that Ravi and your dad aren't even here
02:29to see it. The world will get around. If Priya believes it, so will they. And she's just
02:34what, collateral damage? Well, after this, Dad will give me anything that I want. Trust
02:39me. Yeah, I just spoke to the driver. He said it's going to be about five minutes. All right,
02:44darling. OK, so how about this? I've just spoken to Harvey, and he's going to man the
02:51phones for a week, and I've messaged little Mo and Lin to expect you down at the caravan.
02:55Not this again. Kat, I worry about Tommy as much as you do, but you deserve a break. I
03:00promise you, it'll do the world a good. All right, so while I'm off drinking bubblings,
03:03painting my nails, you're going to be here in charge of Tommy and the twins and trying
03:07to hold down a job. You know, for years, I've let Tommy down, time and time again.
03:14And of course, then, you know, there was the cancer. Maybe this is his way of trying to
03:21get my attention. Oh, get real, Alfie. He's not bothered about us. All he cares about
03:26is Phil. He wants to be a little mini Mitchell throwing his weight around. We need to stick
03:31if we're going to get him through this. Just tell Harvey I'm not going anywhere.
03:37Hello, Kat's Cabs. Yes, darling, what time do you want it for?
03:44Biscuits. You? Oh, thanks. Thanks for having us over. It's been a long drive, and
03:55hospital canteens aren't up to much. Which way did you come? I mean,
03:59of course, the M1 seems the obvious route, but the M40's nothing to be sniffed at.
04:04Yes, well, we came via rugby on the way down. You're the oldest section. You were built in
04:091959. You know, what a treat. I'd have taken photos if I wasn't driving. Take a day off,
04:15will you? OK, I'm going to refill the pot.
04:22Hold on. Talk to me, Sonia. Oh, come on, the solitary was not like you. First the stolen
04:49money, and now this. How can you not have told them about me? Look, it was hard enough telling
04:54you about them, me. Look, I suppose I just avoided it. Look, we know we've done nothing wrong,
05:01but to them it'd be like admitting I cheated on their daughter. I'm a coward. And when she
05:08asked you out, right? Well, what was I supposed to say? Oh, I don't know. How about this is Sonia.
05:14She's a kind and respectable woman that I'm in love with. In fact, she's been nothing but kind
05:18and respectable about, quite frankly, this very odd situation with Debbie. Oh, and by the way,
05:23she's pregnant with my baby. That would have taken ages. Look, surely you understand why I didn't
05:30want to get into all this. They've just lost their daughter. Well, let's be honest, they lost her a
05:34long time ago. He was always very kind to me. I mean, once he got over the fact that his only
05:43daughter was marrying a man more comfortable around numbers than people, he was always very
05:48decent to me. Well, he seems like a nice man. Her, on the other hand. Look, I'm sorry about
05:56what I said. I just want rid of them. I just want all this to be over with so we can get on with the
06:02rest of our lives. With the baby. No more lies. Promise me. I promise.
06:12Zak? Yeah? Please tell me you're working tonight. I don't think I can face Penny on my own.
06:31Well, I've just been at Martin's doing a quick show and then I'll be in after that. You all right?
06:35Yeah. Wait, come on. She's probably not that bad. You used to like her, remember?
06:41What, before she set me up and stole my job, you mean? Yeah, I'll see you later.
06:49Why didn't you tell us you'd met someone? I know we haven't spoken much, but you
06:53shouldn't have lied to our faces. He's ashamed. I'm not ashamed of Sonia.
07:02I never went out planning to meet someone new. It just happened.
07:06And when it did, I realised how much I'd been missing out on.
07:11Because it wasn't just Debbie's life that was stolen. It was mine, too.
07:16For years, both of us were just existing. And then I met Sonia, and, well, everything changed.
07:28I wish I could have given Debbie her life back, but there was nothing I could do.
07:32But there was nothing I could do. I had to save myself, do you understand? And I wanted to tell
07:39you. I just didn't know how, and, well, for that, I'm sorry. I'm happy for you, Rhys.
07:50You never loved her. Not really. Bren, come on. Rhys visited Debbie every week,
07:57like clockwork. As did I. I sat and held her hand. I didn't see you there.
08:05I hope you never have to see a child of yours like that. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
08:13I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.
08:17I know we should have visited more, but it wasn't our Debbie, not the way she was.
08:23Do you remember? So full of life, always smiling.
08:32When that call came to say that she'd gone, a little bit of me was relieved.
08:42Is that awful? I wanted to come, see her, but you never wanted to.
08:49Well, I needn't have stopped you. I offered to drive you, put you on the train.
08:53No. No, you stood in my way, kept me from her. Both of you.
08:59You didn't come because it was easier not seeing her.
09:03We could pretend, then, pretend she was off somewhere,
09:05having her own life, and one day she'd come in, say hello, and...
09:09She does this. It lets things build up.
09:13We'll have her sit down somewhere, and she'll be right again, don't worry.
09:19Oh, there was something I wanted to run past you. It has to do with Debbie's care fees.
09:24The home seemed to think it was sick.
09:26Oh, I'm sorry. It's all right.
09:28It's all right. It's all right.
09:30It's all right. It's all right.
09:32It's all right. It's all right.
09:34It's all right. It's all right.
09:37The home seemed to think there were several months in her ears.
09:40I told them it must be a mistake.
09:42Actually, there was a bit of a mix-up.
09:45The bank stopped the direct debit.
09:47I didn't notice at first.
09:49All sorted now, though.
09:51Yeah. I knew you'd have it all well in hand.
09:57Good luck you two.
09:59Thank you.
10:01Thanks for being so good to my girl.
10:06Now, I know you wish your mum was back with Phil.
10:23Tom, will you please just put your phone down, yeah?
10:29Thank you.
10:30So why is that then, yeah?
10:31Why?
10:32Could you look up to him at all?
10:34Oh, because he's a real man.
10:35How about this?
10:36Come here.
10:37If you ever itch your mother again, then the rematch will be with me.
10:38All right?
10:39No son of mine lays a hand on a woman, not ever, do you understand me?
10:40Now, I know you wish your mum was back with Phil.
10:41Tom, will you please just put your phone down, yeah?
10:42Thank you.
10:43Thank you.
10:44Thank you.
10:45Thank you.
10:46Thank you.
10:47Thank you.
10:48Thank you.
10:49Thank you.
10:50Thank you.
10:51Thank you.
10:52Thank you.
10:53Thank you.
10:54Thank you.
10:55Thank you.
10:56Thank you.
10:57Thank you.
10:58Thank you.
10:59Thank you.
11:00Thank you.
11:01Thank you.
11:03Young men like that.
11:04Your Aunt emote was married to a man like that once
11:07and that's not us, Tommy.
11:08OK, OK, I get it.
11:12You're a young man now.
11:15And I get it, your mum shouldn't have reacted the way she did.
11:17But, Tommy, you are not a little boy.
11:19You know right from wrong.
11:21And I get it.
11:22You and your mum...
11:24You and your mum butt in heads all the time, maybe a bit of time away.
11:27You're sending me away?
11:29No.
11:31you her. Okay. Well, your auntie Lynne, she's going to the caravan and I'm trying to get
11:35your mum to join her, but she won't go till she knows that you're going to toe the line
11:39here with me, you understand? Yeah, so you'd be in charge, not mum? Yeah.
11:45Mm-hmm. So what do you reckon? What do you think? What we can convince her? Yeah.
11:51I'll wait till Zac gets here to unpack the rest of this delivery, because I'm knackered.
12:06I'd actually really rather you did it now. Okay, so help. I'd love to, except, one, disabled,
12:17and two, delegation. Yeah, it's literally the first rule of management. Why are you
12:22being like this? You nick my job and then you treat me like dirt. I'm treating you like
12:27an employee. I'm sorry, but that is the way it is now. And if you don't like it... Oh,
12:37and the cleaner's running sick, so you're going to have to do the ladies before we open.
12:41I'd wear gloves if I were you. It's like a war zone in there.
12:53You seen what they've done to me? Finished chucking me out of the house.
12:57I thought he was the only human one out of them lot. Turns out he's just as bad as the rest of
13:01them. Well, then why don't you just get a hotel or whatever, then? Oh, yeah, yeah, okay, I'll
13:07just do that. How am I going to pay for it? You need to talk to your dad. Get him to talk to
13:14Vinnie. Yeah, right. Hey, I'm serious, unless you want to see me sleeping on a park bench,
13:19then you have to help me. You know you did this to yourself, right? I told you to make nice with
13:24Grandad, not jump into bed with him. How many times do I have to tell you? Look, don't turn
13:31your back on me. You and Davinda are actually all I care about. Yeah? Then stop dragging your
13:38stuff around like a homeless person. Force someone I know to use you. I ain't doing this for fun,
13:43Avani. Don't suppose I could keep it yours for a bit? I'm having a bit of trouble. Yeah,
13:52I can see that, but I just don't see how that's my problem, babe.
13:56Gentle nearly killed my son, introducing him to that poison, so you owe me.
14:01What about this is funny?
14:19What are you doing? No, no way. Yes, oh, come on, none of that.
14:23Well, I bumped into Jack, okay? I know you're upset because you didn't get to go and see Ben.
14:27Jack threw a cop out, you know? I've got a big mouth. You have me worried before,
14:30okay? It's not like you to just go around in a mood. Oh, well, it's simple, isn't it? If I'm
14:35happy, it's because of Ben, and if I'm miserable... Not so many times I've just wanted to walk away,
14:41but... Well, then let's take your mind off things, okay? You can be my wingman,
14:48help me find a bad boy at my home. I'm just not in the mood, John. Well, what do you think the
14:53shots are for? If you want company, then Martin's having a big birthday drink in the square. Well,
14:59that just sounds like the straightest party of the century, doesn't it? Go on. You know you want to.
15:07No, I'm just not in the mood, John. Sorry.
15:08I've just seen Priya. Ravani tells me you've thrown her out of the house.
15:23Yeah, I'm just sick of her dad. If Ravi and the kids don't want her here, why should the rest of
15:29us suffer? She's not family, not really, and the way she treated you earlier, I know where my
15:37loyalty's lying. Get me a drink. But with work and charming clients, I'm exhausted.
15:50And I just heard from Mr. Morris. We won the contract. He wants to put us on a retainer.
15:58So if you hadn't persuaded him to stay, Priya would have sunk the whole thing.
16:03So maybe you're right. And maybe it's time I let you have more responsibility.
16:15I'm just not really in the mood for being social.
16:18I'm not expecting you to do the hokey-cokey, but you've had a really tough morning.
16:23I just think you need to be away from mortuaries and sympathy cards for five minutes.
16:27Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Thanks for coming. I thought
16:30I was dying a bit of a death, to be honest with you. And, Simon, sorry for sticking my nose in
16:36the other day. It's just the thought of you leaving the square, you know?
16:39Yeah. Will you and Lauren try anything like that again, and I'll emigrate to the Bahamas to spite
16:43you? Nice to be wanted, though. Yeah. And, Rhys, sorry for, you know, getting all
16:50Nice to be wanted, though. Yeah. And, Rhys, sorry for, you know,
16:54getting all aggy with you. I mean, obviously, I know you can wipe your own bum. Not that I've
16:58seen it. You know, I'm just assuming. Stop digging, Martin.
17:03Thank you. Anyway, I think I owe you an apology,
17:06because all those years of marriage, and I didn't know how old you were.
17:09Oh, no, yeah, there is a reason for all this. Yeah, a bit of a weird reason, but there is a reason.
17:12Right, then, everyone. OK, it's time for the party games.
17:16Drinks I can manage, but games. Yeah, I'll give you a down if I see you.
17:19Sorry for your loss. Martin, Martin, come on.
17:22I think his loss is not going to get you out of that one.
17:27All right, then, first one to the end of the square wins nothing.
17:39There is. I heard about your wife. If there's anything I can do, just shout.
17:47My condolences, mate. Thank you. Thank you very much.
17:54See? Hang on in there, darling. The worst is almost over.
18:03Do you have any Darjeeling? Um, I'd have to go look out back.
18:10Uh, or Assam? How did I end up with a man who won't drink builders?
18:17It's because you'll find me charming and boring all rolled into one.
18:23Is Phil having trouble with some shifty little four-eyes?
18:26Oh, you must mean Rhys. He's our accountant.
18:29I saw him on the square before, and, well, Phil looked ready to give him a right slap.
18:33No, he's got a beanie bonnet about this investment that Rhys set up for us.
18:38I think it's legit. Phil doesn't agree. But these things take time to pay off, don't they?
18:43And Phil's about as patient as my four-year-old.
18:47Well, he must have a reason not to trust the fella.
18:50Well, it came out that he's been rinsing his wife for cash
18:53to pay for IVF with his girlfriend. But those details don't matter.
18:58But now, Phil reckons everything the man does is dodgy.
19:01Well, an accountant with money troubles don't sound too good, does he?
19:05We should give him a break. The man's just lost his wife.
19:08So, we've got rubies, ginger tea, peppermint, raspberry leaf, green tea,
19:14matcha tea, whatever that is, and something in a red box.
19:22Coffee?
19:23I was very aware that I was, like, just a tiny little cog in that whole Olympic machine.
19:33Yeah. You felt like you'd won a gold medal.
19:36I sure did, Maggie.
19:37You have said Bill, like, several times.
19:44There must be someone here that I haven't told.
19:46Don't find them. I'm begging you.
19:53You! You've been stealing from Debbie! That's why the care home fees were in arrears,
19:59because you've been skimming off the top to have a... to have a baby with her!
20:04Now, listen, OK? I know how it sounds, but Rhys was Debbie's husband.
20:09Legally, he had control of her money.
20:11But it wasn't just her money. We put hundreds into that account every month.
20:16Oh, I was right about you, wasn't I? Liar. Thief!
20:23Oh.
20:29You need to go after them. I'll make good with you, and you can smooth things over with Brenda.
20:35She hates me. Just let them leave.
20:36So much for no more lies. Every time I think I've heard the worst, another little gem crops up.
20:41I can explain.
20:42Yeah, and you will, all right? But you cannot let them leave like that, all right?
20:44You need to make it right with Brenda.
20:46You know, hell, I don't know what to say.
20:48Well, if I were you, I'd start with the truth.
20:50And once you've told her that, and they've both gone home,
20:53me and you are going to have a very long chat.
21:00Have I wandered into a parallel universe or something?
21:03I don't know. He's just made himself a snack,
21:05and I've told him he's got to learn to clear up after himself, isn't that right?
21:07Yeah, easy as that, wasn't it?
21:09Cup of tea, Mum?
21:12Yeah, go on.
21:14Not going to poison it, are you?
21:15No.
21:17Let me guess. You bribed him.
21:19No, I just said we were going to spend some quality time together.
21:31Kat, maybe he was right, thinking that Phil's the bee's knees,
21:34because he's had no one in his life to give him any alternatives.
21:37It's not your fault.
21:39It is. Not that you didn't play a part in it.
21:43Kat, come on, you know I think you're the best mum in the world, all right?
21:48Why do I feel like there's a butt in there somewhere?
21:50I never thought it was a good idea you'd marry him, Phil.
21:53And a kid moving in with him.
21:55I just wanted a better life for us all, that's all.
21:57I get it, I get it, I get it.
22:00But the amount...
22:01The amount of stuff he's seen, the violence...
22:07And you add to the mix, you know, me not being around time and time again.
22:11It's an unsurprise he hasn't kicked off soon, though.
22:15You know, we have been racking our brains about how to figure this out,
22:19and what he needs.
22:19He's told us what he needs, and it's a dad.
22:23A big, strong, no-nonsense style.
22:27It's the matter of, you know, maybe someone who can, you know,
22:32keep him in line and teach him a few things.
22:35I know you love him, but no-nonsense is not your style.
22:40OK, well, maybe it's time I changed my style.
22:43Go to the caravan with your sisters, yeah?
22:46Well, I think you'd do you the world of good
22:47if you didn't tell me just having a bit of time apart, all right?
22:50And maybe I might be able to get through to him.
22:54OK, come on.
22:56The amount of times you've shut me down because I didn't step up,
22:58let me...
22:59Please let me just do this, yeah?
23:03You all right?
23:03OK.
23:04But I'm taking the twins with me.
23:06If you want this to work, you need to focus on him.
23:09But don't you underestimate him, all right?
23:13Boys, pack your bags.
23:15We're going to see your aunts.
23:16Woo!
23:37You might have missed Bin Day.
23:39Oh, was I supposed to be flirting?
23:42Binny chucked me out of the house.
23:44Some big show of loyalty to his dad.
23:46He's a bit harsh, isn't he?
23:48Never trust a banner, Sal.
23:49Yeah.
23:50So what's the plan?
23:51What, are you going to stay with some friends?
23:53Oh, all my friends are in South London.
23:55My job, my kids, they're here.
23:58Plus, if I go, Nish wins.
23:59And I ain't letting Nish win, not for anything.
24:01Yeah, I wish I could help here.
24:03It's just that our place has only got two bedrooms and, well,
24:05the sofa stinks of beer and curry.
24:07So you'd have to be proper desperate to want that.
24:10Oh, you're calling me desperate?
24:13What?
24:13Well, because it's one thing Nish's done with me,
24:15but when my so-called mates turn on me...
24:17No, no, no, I didn't mean like that.
24:19Of course I didn't.
24:20The sofa's yours.
24:21Yeah, I'll square it with Zak and...
24:24Look, I'll even give it a once-over with this, yeah?
24:27Freshen it up.
24:29And a takeaway wouldn't go amiss.
24:31On you, obviously.
24:32Obviously.
24:34Great.
24:38I'll see you at home.
24:39I used to think she only married you to spite me.
24:43Oh, she did a lot of things to spite me.
24:46I'm sorry, but it was nothing to do with you.
24:49We were in love.
24:51And I know she's your daughter,
24:53but you didn't know everything about Debbie.
24:56Look, I've made mistakes,
24:58but I've sacrificed thousands for Debbie's care.
25:00I've lost my home.
25:02But I'll pay you and Hugh for it.
25:04I'll pay you and Hugh for it.
25:05I'll pay you and Hugh for it.
25:06I'll pay you and Hugh for it.
25:07But I'll pay you and Hugh back every penny.
25:10Oh, oh no.
25:12This isn't about the cash.
25:14No, no, it's about you.
25:17And this act you're putting on.
25:19Act?
25:21You stole that money because you were dishonest.
25:25There's something broken in you.
25:29Yeah, I sensed it the first time Debbie brought you home
25:31and I could never shake it.
25:34You're not good, Rhys.
25:36And you're definitely not the bumbling sweetheart
25:39that you're making out to be.
25:41Oh, you might have fooled all them out there
25:43and all that Sonia one.
25:48But I know what you really are.
25:58I should be over there with Brenda, not stood out here.
26:02Well, you can go over there if you like.
26:05But I think it's Rhys that Brenda needs to hear from.
26:11He'll pay you back all that money.
26:14I'll make sure of it.
26:17Did it work?
26:19The IVF?
26:22It's been a long road.
26:25Yeah, it did.
26:31I always thought I'd be a granddad by now.
26:34But I'm not.
26:44You never liked me.
26:46Why are you treating me like this?
26:47What did I ever do to you?
26:49You know, people used to joke about Debbie marrying her dad.
26:54But do you know my Hugh?
26:56Oh, he's got light in him.
26:59Whereas all I ever saw in you was weird little corners.
27:04Filled with cobwebs.
27:06Debbie got wise to you in the end.
27:08Yeah, she used to phone me up and tell me about your...
27:14your annoying little ways.
27:17You're just saying that to hurt me.
27:18Oh, she could hardly stand to be near you.
27:21It was only a matter of time before she packed up and left.
27:27Tragic that she never got the chance.
27:31I am going to tell the police about you stealing our money.
27:36And when they start digging into you,
27:39who knows what they're going to turn up.
27:43Hmm?
