00:30["We Wish You a Merry Christmas"]
00:44Hey, do you mind if I grab a swig of that? I am so late.
00:48Mmm.
00:49Oh, it's freezing, babe!
00:51How long you been sat there?
00:52I lost track of time.
00:55How are you this morning?
00:57Yeah, I'm okay, all things considered.
01:01Seen Paul at your heart, didn't it?
01:03Yeah, well, you know, talking about organ donation, it just made it all more real.
01:11And Lauren's baby just hanging on to life.
01:13I feel like we're surrounded by so much pain and suffering at the moment.
01:18Yeah.
01:19Thank you for being great.
01:22I didn't do much.
01:23You did.
01:24You know, you always know exactly what to say and do, and last night reminded me of that.
01:34Anyway, what you up to today? You got a busy one?
01:37I've just got meetings all morning.
01:39What about this afternoon?
01:41I'm not sure why.
01:43How do you fancy coming to the hospital with me? See Lauren?
01:48Again? Why?
01:50Why do you think?
01:51I honestly have no idea.
01:53Oh, come on. The poor girl's been through hell.
01:56I mean, you saw how frightened she was yesterday, and now she's got a preemie to look after.
02:00I just feel like we should show her some support.
02:03Yeah, you're right.
02:05But why don't we wait a day?
02:07She's going to be exhausted, and if she's not sleeping, she'll want to spend time with the baby.
02:11Okay, well, how about tomorrow then? You free?
02:13I'll make sure I am.
02:16See you later.
02:17Bye.
02:23Is that all you're having?
02:25Yeah, I'm not hungry.
02:26You need something more substantial in you. Let me make you some porridge or something.
02:30All right, well, maybe not porridge. Come on, let me get you something before I head out.
02:33Why? Where are you going?
02:35Well, once the office is up, I'm going to drop him off at Wendy's.
02:38Why?
02:39Because I don't want him coming to court.
02:41No. No, Jack's in a bad place at the minute. He can't be left alone.
02:46Well, I want to be there. What if they lock you up?
02:48Well, if they do, it doesn't matter whether you're there or not.
02:50What does matter is Jack needs at least one of us right now.
02:53And if I'm not going to be around, you have to be.
02:58One tea to go. Anything else?
03:01Actually, yeah, how much is a full English?
03:03£5.50.
03:05Do you do student discount?
03:06No.
03:07So, er, full English or not.
03:09Okay.
03:12Can I get that in a mug I'm going to sit in?
03:14What's wrong with the paper cup?
03:16Bad for the environment.
03:17Yeah, well, it's already been used, hasn't it? So what's the difference?
03:19Mug.
03:20Please.
03:23Perfect timing.
03:25Buy me breakfast.
03:27Excuse me?
03:28Don't you go harassing my paying customers.
03:30We're all friends.
03:32You've, er, still got making up to do.
03:34Not here.
03:36What's the matter?
03:37Don't want to be seen with the likes of me?
03:39I don't have time for this today.
03:42You know it, but I know it.
03:44You owe me.
03:47Hey! What have you said to him?
03:51It's my fault.
03:53What are you on about?
03:56He were born too early.
03:58And he might not make it.
04:00And even if he does make it, who knows how that'll affect him.
04:04Yeah, but how does that make it your fault?
04:09Cos it was my stress that did it to him.
04:12That mugger.
04:14I should have seen him coming.
04:15You can't blame yourself for something the mugger did.
04:20Although...
04:22I do owe you one.
04:25If it weren't for you, he'd probably wouldn't have made it.
04:31You know, I don't really get why your mate just locked you in.
04:37Well, she didn't know the mugger took my keys.
04:40Right.
04:42Has she been to see you yet?
04:43Has she been to see you yet?
04:46No.
04:49Well, it would be nice to meet her.
04:51Why?
04:52Are you in the pub?
04:54No.
04:55She's your mate.
04:57I am your mate.
04:58Is that weird?
05:00I mean, I'm assuming that when you're out of here, you'll be going back to live with her.
05:05I don't know.
05:06You're not still thinking about going away, are you?
05:08I haven't thought about it.
05:09Well, you're going to have to, Lauren.
05:11Because you've got him to think about now.
05:13Really, Max?
05:14Because I haven't noticed.
05:17Sorry.
05:25I, um...
05:27I'm sorry.
05:29I'm just tired.
05:33Rash vest?
05:35Rash vest?
05:37What is that?
05:38Is it like a hair shirt?
05:39No, you wear them on the beach.
05:41They're cool.
05:42But why don't they get proper names for things?
05:44I mean, it's like fanny packs all over again.
05:47They're a really good idea, actually.
05:49Stop you having to put sun cream on all the time.
05:51Is that anything to do with that thing on your nose?
05:54No, that's a pimple patch.
05:56It's completely different.
05:58Hiya, love.
05:59I've made you a sandwich.
06:01Oh, I'm not really hungry.
06:02I'll have hers.
06:03What are you doing?
06:04Have you remembered?
06:05We're going into town to buy some new clothes.
06:06I can't.
06:07Why not?
06:08I'm going round to Sam's.
06:09Don't you want to go out and get yourself a pimple vest?
06:12A what?
06:13She means a rash vest.
06:15Come on, let's go shopping.
06:16We were supposed to go yesterday.
06:18Yeah, and it was your fault we didn't.
06:19Right, girls, you know what?
06:21We can go another day.
06:22I didn't realise Hope had plans.
06:23Ta.
06:25Mum!
06:26Sorry, love.
06:27I'm not going twice.
06:28We'll go again soon, I promise.
06:32Letting madam call the shots.
06:34No, it's just...
06:35Tai doesn't think it's a very good idea
06:37spending so much time with Jack.
06:39What, because it might awaken her taste in pyromania?
06:43Well, yeah, so if Hope wants to see Sam,
06:46we should encourage it.
06:47Oh, all the world's a stage
06:49and all the men and women merely players
06:51except for Hope, who owns the theatre.
06:53Oh, boy.
06:58Hey.
07:00Hiya.
07:01Hey.
07:03Hiya.
07:05You alone?
07:08I suppose.
07:10Looks like it.
07:16You OK?
07:20I suppose.
07:22Well, I...
07:24I just wanted to bring you this.
07:32Look, I'm...
07:34I'm sorry about what happened.
07:36I didn't think...
07:37Are you sad?
07:43Well, I can't stay longer. I've got a meeting.
07:46What is it that you want, Joel?
07:48Eh?
07:49Why are you here?
07:55I...
07:58I...
08:00You can't do this alone.
08:03And I'm not saying that because I don't think you're a capable person.
08:07But this stuff, it...
08:08It's hard.
08:11Do you think you can do it alone?
08:13I'm sure you've had loads of paperwork to sign,
08:16doctors and nurses talking about things you don't understand.
08:19It's daunting.
08:22I can help you.
08:25But...
08:26But...
08:28If that email gets sent...
08:32I won't be able to.
08:38What email?
08:44The one that tells the police what you did.
08:49Lauren...
08:52You said you were going to delete that when you got to Ireland.
08:54It's not my fault you went into labour early.
08:58I'm assuming it's still scheduled to send anyway.
09:03Yeah.
09:04I think I've proven that I'm trustworthy,
09:06and I'm trying to help you.
09:08But if that email gets sent,
09:11I won't be able to.
09:15So, at noon, we'll place this in the ground at the Redrick.
09:18At the same time, Leon will do the same in Marseille,
09:21and he'll measure the angle of his shadow.
09:24Leon?
09:25Hope.
09:26I've told you about Leon loads of times.
09:28My French mate.
09:29From the Astronomy Forum.
09:32Yeah, forget it.
09:34OK, so, solo noon today is 1.15pm.
09:37Can you make a note?
09:39Noon's 12pm. Every day.
09:41Solo noon. It's at 1.15pm.
09:44Please, can you make a note?
09:45Sam, this isn't working.
09:47The pen. Yeah, I'll get you another.
09:49No, not the pen. Us.
09:52I don't understand.
09:54I think we should see other people.
09:56Oh.
09:57Yeah.
10:00Is it something I've done?
10:02Just...
10:03I'm looking for someone a bit rougher around the edges.
10:06I can change.
10:08No, you can't.
10:10And I wouldn't want you to.
10:11It's over. I'm sorry.
10:13We can still be friends.
10:17Hope?
10:18Hope?
10:21Could I tell people it was mutual?
10:24No.
10:31Right, so that's why you got me the phone.
10:34What do you mean?
10:36Well, I can't delete the email without a phone, can I?
10:40No.
10:42No, it's...
10:43It's because of the mugging. You know that.
10:46And you need one.
10:48Yeah, but it's also to keep you out of prison.
10:56He's doing all right, by the way.
10:59You know, your son...
11:02I mean, he's in an incubator.
11:04And I can't even hold him, cos he's too fragile.
11:08Do you know? Cos he nearly died.
11:12I'm sorry.
11:15I should have asked.
11:18Forget it.
11:19I'm going to see him.
11:26Do you want to meet him?
11:45Yeah.
12:04I'm sorry.
12:08I'm sorry.
12:11Sorry about that.
12:13Is everything OK?
12:15Yeah.
12:17Nurse wanted a word.
12:21So you've met him, then?
12:26He's so tiny.
12:31God, I feel like I'm drowning.
12:38Let me help you, then.
12:40How can I trust you, Joel?
12:41I promise you, you can.
12:43But I can only give you my word.
12:49Yeah, and what's that worth?
12:52Maybe not much.
12:54But I don't think you have any other choice.
13:03OK.
13:07I'll delete the email.
13:16Just let me know what you need.
13:19Well, I will be putting you on that support list thing,
13:21so you can visit him.
13:25OK.
13:29He's a survivor.
13:33He's had to be.
13:34He's had to be.
13:41Look, I'm not finished.
13:43Sip any more and you'll take the glaze off that.
13:45That's the best bit.
13:47Er, excuse me.
13:48What is your cheapest breakfast bar?
13:50Egg, 120. Do you want one?
13:54No, I'll have a think about it.
13:56Big commitment, innit?
13:57You and her are as bad as each other.
13:59If it isn't Mason Radcliffe.
14:01Betsy.
14:02So you're out?
14:03Yeah, a couple of weeks now.
14:05I'm guessing crime doesn't pay.
14:07At least not enough to buy a bar.
14:09Maybe it just depends on the crime.
14:11How are you going to afford the wedding now?
14:13You don't think I'm daft enough to pack in my job
14:15without having another one lined up, do you?
14:17What, you've got another job lined up already?
14:20Mm-hm.
14:21Where?
14:22Details, TBC.
14:24I'm going to meet with my new boss later on
14:26and then get things sorted.
14:27Yeah, well, that didn't sound like it's in the bag yet.
14:29Trust me, it's a done deal.
14:31All right, well, I have got to go to work.
14:35See ya.
14:36Bye.
14:37I need the answer on your phone.
14:39Mm!
14:40I'm a busy woman.
14:42We've got things that we need to sort,
14:44cos as soon as those T-shirts get delivered to Carla
14:46and she works out the fix, she's going to know what we did.
14:49And then she's going to sack me.
14:51You and her, we're all in this.
14:53Oh, not me. It's my day off.
14:55I don't care.
14:56Sorry, if this sounds like bad news,
14:58I'm more of a good news person.
15:00Come on.
15:02Hey.
15:04Cheeky cow!
15:05Excuse me?
15:06Not you.
15:07No, I know.
15:08I just don't think that's any way to talk about a young girl.
15:10We were all thinking it.
15:15Oh.
15:16Oh, hi, love. Where's Sam?
15:18Red wreck, probably.
15:19Sticking poles in the ground.
15:21Hi.
15:22So is your date over, then?
15:24We split up.
15:26What? Why?
15:27It just wasn't working.
15:29Look, you don't seem very bothered.
15:32Is Sam OK?
15:33He's fine.
15:34So, hang on, why are you putting make-up on now?
15:38I'm going round to Jack's.
15:41Love, listen, I do not think that's a very good idea.
15:46Why not?
15:47Because Jack's in a bit of bother with the police at the minute.
15:50Well, exactly, that's why I'm going round.
15:52He probably needs a mate.
15:53Is that all?
15:55Yeah, why?
15:56Because your dad's not sure he's a very good influence right now.
16:00We're friends.
16:02Hmm.
16:03Just give it a few days, OK?
16:05Fine.
16:07And listen, I know bad boys can seem more exciting,
16:11but will you trust me, that kind of excitement, it is overrated.
16:20I don't think Carla's going to believe
16:22that Morton has mistook these for designer.
16:24She doesn't have to believe it.
16:26She doesn't even have to understand it.
16:28The less it makes sense, the more it looks like some daft mistake.
16:32Maybe.
16:33I'm looking for Carla Connor.
16:35Oh! I'll take that.
16:37I've got this.
16:39If it's for Mrs Connor, I shall supervise,
16:42because I was her personal assistant.
16:44Yeah, was. I said was.
16:47Anyway, you don't work here any more.
16:49I'm visiting.
16:50We don't have visitors, it's not a prison.
16:52Well, it's not far off.
16:54Honest, Sal, Mrs Connor asked me to deal with this.
16:58Fine.
17:00Enjoy your visit.
17:01Mm-hm.
17:03Right, I'll take them.
17:04I thought she were doing it.
17:06Oh, well, there's been a change of plan.
17:08Whatever.
17:10Right, I'd better get out of here before Carla sees me.
17:13So you give her that box, and if she asks any questions,
17:16just say it's some mad misunderstanding and you know nothing.
17:19Are you sure this is going to work?
17:21Yes, we're all good.
17:24So have you heard out yet?
17:27He'll be getting sentenced any minute now.
17:31You worried?
17:32Yeah, of course I am.
17:34More for Jack than Kev, mind.
17:36Why?
17:37He's not used to being in trouble.
17:39He's practically having a nosebleed just thinking about it.
17:42Yeah.
17:44Yeah, maybe I should wait for Kev, then, I think.
17:47Why? Is there something wrong with the garage?
17:50Oh, no, nothing like that, no.
17:53Right, what's up?
17:54Right, well, I hope, right?
17:57You know, she's easily led.
17:59OK.
18:01So I don't think it's a good idea
18:03that she's spending so much time with Jack just at the minute.
18:07And it's not so much Jack, it's more hope.
18:11You know, she's easily knocked off the straight and narrow, you know,
18:15so I'm not so sure if he's a good influence
18:18for her to be around at the moment.
18:20Well, Jack's a bad influence...
18:22No, I know that he's a good kid.
18:24It's just after what he's done,
18:26I just don't want him giving Hope ideas, you know?
18:28You know...
18:30You know what, Ty?
18:32In another universe,
18:34I'd be around at yours having a cup of tea,
18:36telling Hope to keep her distance from Jack.
18:39Eh?
18:40Well, she's the OG, ain't she? Arsonist-wise.
18:43So if anyone should be worried about bad influences, it's us.
18:46Are they?
18:47Except we wouldn't do that, would we?
18:49Cos when Hope's in trouble, we wrap our arms around her and help,
18:52because that's what friends do.
18:54Jack, he made a mistake and he needs all the support he can get,
18:58but it's obvious he can't count on any from you.
19:00Looks like that tea's finished.
19:03Now, personally, I'm a big fan of vanilla.
19:06Oh, no, it's a bit boring, isn't it?
19:08Why do people say that?
19:10Do you know what vanilla is?
19:12The taste of nothing.
19:14You know, vanilla is the pod of a South American orchid.
19:17It couldn't be any more exotic,
19:19yet people talk about it like it's...
19:21like it's tissue.
19:23Sorry.
19:24What's happened?
19:26I'm so sorry. I think I cut my sleeve.
19:30I'll get the broom.
19:32I'm so clumsy.
19:34Ah, don't worry about it, love. Accidents happen.
19:37Maybe we should remove these boxes, make it easier to sweep around.
19:40Yeah, good idea. I'll take this one.
19:42You grab the other one.
19:45Hey!
19:48Hey!
19:50Hey!
19:54Mason!
19:58They're all there.
19:59Good. Looks like we've got a deal, then.
20:01See? I get the job done.
20:03Don't get too cocky. You are a day late.
20:06Well, er, we're still on for that new job.
20:09Let's talk about it over a drink.
20:11You're paying.
20:14Mum?
20:19Are you OK to do that, then?
20:22Sorry, I... I don't know. What were we talking about?
20:27Registering his birth.
20:30Er...
20:31No, I...
20:33I'm sorry, I can't.
20:36I thought anyone could do it.
20:38No.
20:39Mum or Dad only.
20:42Right.
20:52There.
20:54Deleted.
20:58You know, if I...
21:00If I could go back to that day...
21:04You know I regret it.
21:08Yeah, I know.
21:11Anyway, we both need to be here for this little guy.
21:14I haven't told you what I'm calling him.
21:17What?
21:20Francis.
21:23Well...
21:25Frankie, after my grandad.
21:28Francis?
21:30Is that OK?
21:33Yeah, no, it's just...
21:36That was my grandad's name, too.
21:39Really?
21:41Yeah, erm...
21:43Actually, I need to go.
21:46What's wrong?
21:48Nothing, I just... I, erm...
21:51I need to get back to work. I'll call you later.
22:06Joel?
22:08What are you doing here?
22:12SIGHS
22:25Joel?
22:27You all right?
22:28Yeah.
22:29It's... It's lesser.
22:30It's just a lot, isn't it?
22:32Yeah.
22:34I suddenly thought I should put Lauren in touch with that women's charity.
22:38Oh, the one you worked for pro bono?
22:40Yeah, they support mothers of premature babies, though.
22:43Why it only occurred to me half an hour ago is anyone's guess.
22:46It's career and overload.
22:48I told you, babe, you're working too hard.
22:51Yeah. Nature of the beast.
22:53Hey, did you get to see the little one?
22:55Yeah. Yeah, he's dead cute.
22:57Look, here you go.
22:5950% chance of survival at six months.
23:02Well, if the baby's anything like Lauren, my money's on a happy ending.
23:06Yeah.
23:07Yeah, mine too. Fingers crossed.
23:09Yeah.
23:10She thinks she's all tough, but I reckon she's gonna spoil him rotten.
23:13Yeah, she'll be amazing.
23:15If she gets the chance.
23:17Sorry.
23:18Has Lauren had the baby?
23:19I know this is a private conversation.
23:21Well, she's three months early, so it's touch and go.
23:25Maximum here was the hero of the hour.
23:27He had to scream in and call the fire brigade to break the door down.
23:31How come?
23:32Well, her mate had locked her in by mistake.
23:34Door's in there. You couldn't make it up.
23:36Cheers.
23:38T-shirts?
23:39Designer T-shirts.
23:41I mean, you can tell by the quality, right?
23:43Don't look at me like that.
23:44It's not like I mugged a pensioner out.
23:46Sorry, Mum. Well done.
23:48For not mugging a pensioner, you are so law-abiding.
23:51It's a few poxy T-shirts. Bring back hanging.
23:54Tell by the stitching they're fake.
23:55That stitching is bang-on.
23:57I suppose it's good to have pride in your work.
23:59Even counterfeit goods.
24:02He was very thin.
24:03Is he for real?
24:05Are we in trouble or what?
24:06As far as I'm concerned, the only crime here is the fed count.
24:10He's a practically see-through.
24:15So, how was the tarni?
24:17A bit dry, to be honest.
24:21Listen, why don't you get a couple of ice creams?
24:24What am I? Five?
24:26Yeah, he wants you to do one so he can lecture me on the error of my ways.
24:30If you want me to do one, just say it straight.
24:33Do one.
24:37Laters.
24:42Someone feeling guilty about kicking me out of a restaurant the other day?
24:45Maybe.
24:47You do have a way of pressing my buttons.
24:49Mmm, kinky.
24:52You think you're such a smart aleck, don't you?
24:57Your brother's still gunning for you?
25:00Yeah.
25:01So you're still sleeping rough?
25:04What do you think?
25:05Song.
25:06Keep that between us locals.
25:08I'm breaching my licence, not being able to pay my address.
25:12Well, you can stay at our place for the night.
25:14No chance.
25:15Oh, come on.
25:17You can have a shower, a meal, a clean bed.
25:19What, and then back to reality?
25:21Look, there's plenty of charity cases around here.
25:23Go and pick up someone else, will you?
25:28Well, if you change your mind, you know where to find me.
25:36You all right, Sam?
25:38Problems with my love life.
25:42Some other time.
25:50Hey.
25:51We've got you some toiletries and a deli sandwich.
25:55That's dead nice.
25:57How's the baby?
25:59He's touch and go at the minute.
26:02I mean, he's hanging in there.
26:04My Frankie's a real fighter.
26:06I wonder where he gets that from, eh?
26:08Great name, by the way.
26:12I can always bring you some more bits and bobs tomorrow as well, if you need.
26:16I'm sure that charity will be loads of help.
26:18What charity?
26:19You know, the one I told you about earlier.
26:21Oh, right, yeah.
26:22Sorry.
26:23Baby brain.
26:24Oh, gosh, well, I don't know what my excuse is.
26:26I am always forgetting things.
26:27Drives this one mad.
26:29Frankie's so tiny, you know.
26:32And I can't even hold him.
26:34Hopefully it won't be too long, eh?
26:37Any word from your so-called mate who locked you in?
26:42Yeah, she's deviled.
26:43So she should be.
26:45Babe, Lauren's wiped out.
26:47Why don't we leave her to get some rest?
26:52Hello, young lady.
26:56I was, er... I was wondering if I could have a quick word.
26:59Oh, I can come back later if it's about time.
27:01Knock yourself out.
27:03I know I've been more popular.
27:06I will see you later, yeah?
27:08Yeah, cheers for the stuff.
27:10It's our pleasure.
27:12I know you're doing great.
27:16Right.
27:17Right.
27:21Oh, the eclair's a half price if you're interested.
27:23Go on, Craigie, live a little.
27:25Have a cream cake an hour before you tea.
27:27Is everything OK?
27:29My son's a plod, what can I say?
27:31Friends in high places?
27:33I've not seen one perk yet.
27:36OK.
27:37If anyone is in a strop, it should be me.
27:40Slaving away for hours and hours on them T-shirts?
27:43And for what?
27:44I'm guessing for that stash you asked me to plough through for you.
27:48Great.
27:49There is money on counterfeit goods sitting in my account.
27:53You know, it's a good deal.
27:55Sitting in my account.
27:56You know, it's a good job that I'm not a policeman.
27:59OK, I'm sorry.
28:00Not OK.
28:02Look, I was just trying to make some serious cash for the wedding.
28:05Yeah, well, do it lawfully, like everybody else does.
28:08You know, I can't believe that you would quit a perfectly good job...
28:11I sold knickers!
28:13..to go into counterfeit goods.
28:15A career criminal.
28:16Well, that new job offer will be dead in the water by now anyway,
28:19thanks to you and your new boss.
28:21You are not one bit sorry, are you?
28:26So what happens now?
28:28I dread to think.
28:29I need to go and speak to Kit,
28:31because you are not the only person up to your neck in it.
28:35Poor Sam, his little buffing head will be spinning.
28:38I know.
28:40I suppose he can hold a candle to the other pyromaniac,
28:44two doors down, pun intended.
28:46Joan, honestly, I've warned her about bad boys.
28:49She's going to give Jack a wide berth for a bit.
28:52I wonder if I'd warned Cassie about bad boys,
28:55things might have been different.
28:57Well, you did your best.
28:59She's a contrary beggar, anyway.
29:01Anything I said, she'd just have done the opposite.
29:07When the going gets tough, the tough get a sugar rush.
29:10Sugar gets a bad rap.
29:12So, if your dad don't come home for his tea,
29:15it means he's banged up in prison?
29:17Well, Abi said we've got to keep the faith.
29:20My mum reckons it were dad courageous, what you did,
29:23fessing up to the police.
29:24Don't ask me to spell it.
29:26There was no way I was going to let my dad or Abi take the blame.
29:30Respect.
29:32Must have been some fire, then, like mega-huge.
29:35The car was my target, but, you know, got a bit out of hand.
29:40That's fire for you.
29:42It eats everything in its path.
29:44I didn't even know the guy were there.
29:46Now, I could be heard for young offenders.
29:49Well, nobody died, right?
29:51Can we change the subject?
29:53Always.
29:56FYI, I dumped Sam.
29:59Just saying.
30:04It's all a bit overwhelming, isn't it?
30:08I just can't believe I'm a parent.
30:11I was the same.
30:17How are you doing after the mugging?
30:19Have you reported it?
30:21I've not really had the chance.
30:23Right, yeah.
30:26I heard you were locked in the flat.
30:30Yeah.
30:33That was down to my mates, didn't know I had no keys.
30:36Blimey, with mates like that...
30:38It's a good job I've got Max.
30:40I know.
30:42To this ditzy gal pal.
30:44Can we not drag her into it?
30:46She's proper mortified.
30:49OK.
30:53Look, I'm sorry to bring this up,
30:55but testing Frankie's DNA is the best chance of nailing Nathan.
31:01What if they get it wrong?
31:03Chances of that are one in 142,000.
31:07For real?
31:10I know you didn't want to make a statement about him being the father,
31:13but DNA proof would be a whole other ballgame.
31:17Not his word against yours.
31:19His word against scientific proof.
31:23Not even Nathan can escape the truth of DNA.
31:30Are you ready to get Frankie tested?
31:44Are you mad at me?
31:46No.
31:47No, of course not.
31:49My timing's not the best.
31:52Frankie is all that matters.
31:55And I don't want to think about anything.
31:57Or anyone else.
32:02Spoken like a very good mum.
32:06But we do need to bring him home.
32:09I know.
32:11But we do need to bring him to justice, though.
32:14Let's put the DNA test on the back burner for now.
32:17Until the time feels right for you and Frankie.
32:20Agreed?
32:23Agreed.
32:25And if you change your mind, you've got my number.
32:32Right, then.
32:34I'll get out of your hair.
32:41DOOR KNOCKS
32:51There you are.
32:53Why didn't you ring me?
32:55Community service.
32:57That's it?
32:58That's it.
32:59Oh.
33:00Yeah.
33:01They just said cos I pleaded guilty.
33:04And no previous burglary.
33:06And low risk to re-offend.
33:08Kev.
33:10I know I'll be in some deglo tabab,
33:12scrubbing graffiti off walls, who knows?
33:14Who cares?
33:15Oh, you were due a break.
33:17Yeah.
33:18Where's Jack?
33:19He's out with Hope.
33:21I've heard Bayan's a tale.
33:23How's he been?
33:25Quiet.
33:26He's probably bricking it.
33:28Yeah, well, I got lucky today.
33:30We don't want to build his hopes up.
33:32We'll have to prepare him for the worst.
33:35Cheers for this, mate.
33:40So, erm...
33:42What's the score with Sid?
33:44Had to let him go.
33:46How come?
33:47There's no way I can arrest him without incriminating your mum.
33:51Cheers, mate.
33:53That's, erm...
33:54It's a weight off.
33:56Quite the entrepreneur, isn't she?
33:58She wishes, and I read her the right act.
34:01Hmm.
34:02I bet she hates you being a cop.
34:04Love, eh?
34:05She'd love it if I were willing to turn her butt and die.
34:08Sounds about right.
34:10The other day, yeah,
34:11she asked me to mind a wedge of cash
34:13so that Kirk could be normalised.
34:15Right.
34:16And when I've seen these fakes,
34:18I'm worried that that might be where the cash has come from.
34:21It's a dead-on cert, isn't it?
34:23Yeah, well, the thing is,
34:24I put that cash in my building society account.
34:27I had no clue, no clue that money was dodgy.
34:30Oh, relax.
34:33Am I a money launderer?
34:36No arrests, no cautions, no paper trails.
34:40No worries.
34:44Thanks, mate.
34:46Well, we're basically partners.
34:48Ride or die.
34:51I wonder if Michael kept any of Gloria's baby girls.
34:56Sorry?
34:58Frankie.
35:00If Michael didn't,
35:01then Mum will have deftly stashed them away somewhere.
35:06The baby's not out of the woods yet.
35:09I know, but...
35:11I mean, there's no harm in thinking positively.
35:15I'm sorry.
35:17There's no harm in thinking positively.
35:23We need coffee fillers.
35:25I'll...
35:26Yeah, OK.
35:27Might be nice if a bar of chocolate
35:29made its way into your basket, yeah?
35:32DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
35:38HE SNIFFS
35:45It's Lauren, your message.
35:49Hi, it's me.
35:51You not picking up?
35:54Is everything OK?
35:56Text me.
35:58Or something.
36:02HE SIGHS
36:06I was just on my way to see you.
36:08Oh, yeah?
36:1146, we said. Where is she?
36:13Oh, come on, you know time doesn't exist on planet Earth.
36:16Oh!
36:17I bet she is round at Jack's.
36:19Yeah, I think I went over the top with all that.
36:21They're just kids, aren't they? They won't go anywhere.
36:23Well, you can't know that for sure.
36:26I went to see Abi this morning.
36:28Almost banged her out of her head.
36:30Your tea's ruined.
36:31Can you take those things out your ears, please?
36:33Oh, chill.
36:35You been round at Jack's?
36:37Guilty as charged.
36:38Well, guilty of being a loyal mate.
36:40How is he?
36:42Is that a trick question?
36:43No, of course it's not. He's got a lot on his plate.
36:46Look, we're really glad, love,
36:48that Jack's got you in his corner, but...
36:51Well, I mean, does Sam know he's been dumped for Jack?
36:54Mum, please.
36:56It's still early days for me and Jack.
36:58But there is chemistry.
37:01Chemistry, eh?
37:03He's got a plea bargain coming up,
37:05so our relationship's going to be tested.
37:07He'll probably be, like, moody and stuff.
37:10I guess we'll just play it by ear.
37:13Cheers, Mum. Sounds great.
37:16No, she doesn't want to make a statement about Nathan.
37:19And if I'm reading her right,
37:21I don't think she'll let us do a DNA test on the baby.
37:25Bummer.
37:27I mean, I could be wrong, but she seems less interested in justice.
37:31Well, isn't she just full of raging hormones?
37:35Yeah. Yeah.
37:38I mean, she seems smitten with motherhood, which is great.
37:41God knows that kid needs a break, but...
37:43That slimeball Nathan will be off the hook.
37:46It's a simple DNA test.
37:51Hey, these cases can take their toll.
37:54Joel, this one's keeping me awake at night.
37:57So what can I do?
38:00I was wondering, what with you and Dee Dee looking out for her,
38:04if you could perhaps try a bit of gentle persuasion.
38:07You know, or at least get her to open up about why she's so reluctant.
38:12I get the feeling that she's still terrified of him.
38:15Mm, with good reason.
38:17Yeah, but if she could talk it through with you two,
38:19who have no skin in the game,
38:21well, you'll be able to address her concerns logically.
38:24You know, help her to realise that DNA proof could put an end to it all.
38:31OK.
38:33But not just yet.
38:35She's only just given birth and it was pretty traumatic.
38:39Yeah, absolutely.
38:41My daughter was prem.
38:43Perfectly formed, but in miniature.
38:46I mean, she's 16 now and a total nightmare, but...
38:49I'd take a bullet for her.
38:52Listen, thank you.
38:55For agreeing to try.
38:57Not at all. I'm glad to help.
39:00I'll see you. Bye.
39:08So, what did he want?
39:10To save me.
39:12Back himself proud he'd put it in the war.
39:14And what's he offering?
39:16Apart from the two solid caramels?
39:18Absolutely not.
39:20Cos he's shocked up with that woman from Speed now.
39:23I told him to sweat without her.
39:25Don't need his pity.
39:27You turn his pity into cash, you clown.
39:29Top him for a few nights in a B&B and money for some clothes.
39:33You can go for job interviews looking dead smart.
39:37Cos you've seen the error of your ways
39:39and you just want to make an honest living.
39:41Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what you're on.
39:45There's this fella I've been terrorising.
39:48So I shwank rub it in.
39:50He's tried to shake me off, but I've got way too much on him.
39:53I'll bet.
39:55One wrong move and I might accidentally blurt out that my mum's a copper.
39:59And then not you get out of jail free card.
40:01Ba-boom.
40:04Tells you you've engaged brain and you can't afford to be proud.
40:09Then take him for every penny, yeah?
40:12Yeah. Bye-bye, bad Betsy.
40:17Did you not get my text about the takeaway?
40:19Oh, no!
40:21You had one job.
40:23Oh, memory like a sieve.
40:25Yeah, but I bet you remembered to check your work emails on your phone, didn't you?
40:29OK, one chicken and cashew nuts with ginger coming your way.
40:33Should I go? No, I'm perfectly incapable, thank you.
40:37Babe.
40:39You know, it's lucky we are in the honeymoon period.
40:42Your forgetful little ways, I find them charming.
40:45But once boredom and routine kick in,
40:47if you come home without the takeaway, the saucepans will be sent flying.
40:58I'll consider myself warned.
41:02Well, that's a resort, innit, eh?
41:04Community service, thought you'd be popping the bubbly.
41:06What, was Jack still up for arson?
41:09Yeah, sorry, me and my size eights.
41:12It's size nines.
41:14Yeah, well, I'd take a size eight.
41:16They're saying size nines.
41:18Well, not when I'm saying it.
41:21What?
41:22Do you know what? Abbie's right about you.
41:24You could start a fight in an empty room.
41:26Good to know. What do you want?
41:28Well, if you must know, I've come round to apologise for this morning.
41:32What, for your little lecture to Abbie?
41:35Yeah, look, I was out of order and I'm sorry.
41:38Bottom line is, Jack's a great kid
41:40and I know he's going through a lot right now.
41:42He is, yeah.
41:45Anyway, I'm glad Hope rallied around, you know.
41:48She never takes a blind bit of notice of anything I say anyway.
41:51She's always making up her own mind.
41:53She's a good kid. Big heart.
41:55Cheers for saying that.
41:58DOG BARKS
42:03You wearing a wire?
42:05What's funny?
42:07And why have you bought the T-shirts?
42:09Decided to let you keep selling them.
42:11Yeah, right.
42:13Are we on CCTV?
42:15No cameras here.
42:17But did you notice the white transit van outside the corner shop?
42:21Oh, I knew it!
42:23Surveillance team, the works.
42:25Think minor duty.
42:27No. Hang about.
42:29This is pin money.
42:31You sell them discreetly.
42:33I'll take half.
42:35Half?
42:36But you've got to cut all ties with Beth.
42:38Anyone can sew on fake labels.
42:40She's got the factory connections.
42:42Her son's a copper.
42:44This is non-negotiable.
42:47Do you want to do a deal or not?
42:52I'll be in touch.
42:56DOOR OPENS
43:00Oi!
43:01You owe my till eight quid.
43:03All right.
43:04She nicks two sandwiches.
43:06Nah, I must have a look-alike, mate.
43:08I know it was you. It's on CCTV.
43:12Betsy, what the hell?
43:16I am so sorry.
43:19Get in the car.
43:21All right, Mum, I need to have a stroke.
43:23Shut up and get in the car!
43:29What the hell do you think you're playing at?
43:53THE END
