00:00...
00:08Tea.
00:09Ta.
00:10There was a
00:11fly.
00:11Eight o'clock.
00:13Doesn't mean she'll be on it.
00:15Morning.
00:16Morning.
00:17Ey, come on!
00:18Yeah, please. What are you up to?
00:22I was...
00:22...I was checking flights to Bucharest last night.
00:25But I told you Elsina said she was leaving today.
00:27Oh, no, but she's checked out the hotel.
00:28Maybe she's changed her mind.
00:29Right, sorry, why does it now seem like you're blaming me?
00:32You wasn't, aren't you?
00:34No, of course not.
00:35But...
00:37Look, I just wish you'd have called me straight away.
00:40Are you for real?
00:41What should she have called you about?
00:43Alina and a little boy who may or may not be his son.
00:55Hiya.
00:56You're not at work today?
00:58No, day off.
01:00What's that?
01:01Just that new controller.
01:02Before you ask, it is my own money.
01:04Oh, all right, relax.
01:05I wasn't accusing you of anything.
01:08Anyway, like I say, I'm a man of leisure today, so...
01:11Right.
01:12I thought, you know, we could do something, huh?
01:15Father and son, kicking it, illing and chilling.
01:17Oh, please don't.
01:19Oh, I thought we could have some fun.
01:21I can't.
01:22Hey, don't put yourself down.
01:23Even someone like you can have some fun.
01:25Right, well, I'm not in the mood.
01:27We could go for lunch.
01:29I just want to play my game, Dad.
01:30You can spare a couple of hours for your old man.
01:32Dad.
01:35Look, you cannot let this Mason dictate the rest of your life.
01:39It's not about Mason.
01:41Sometimes we've just got to face our fears.
01:43I'm not scared of him.
01:45Good.
01:46So prove it, Dylan.
01:50This is all just speculation.
01:52The kid may not even be yours.
01:54Yeah, and he might be.
01:56Yeah, exactly.
01:57I just want to know either way.
01:59But if there was something that she wanted you to know,
02:01she'd have got in touch with you a long time ago.
02:03And if it is true, she's still chosen not to tell you.
02:06If I was you, I would just leave well enough alone.
02:08Except you're not him.
02:10I can't just pretend this isn't happening.
02:13I'm going to work.
02:18Why are you encouraging him?
02:20It's called being a supportive mum.
02:22You might want to try it sometime.
02:24Look, you are confusing the lad.
02:27If you asked me, you never should have said anything in the first place.
02:30Are you being serious?
02:31I am too.
02:32That woman has wreaked havoc on this family, and now she's doing it again.
02:35Tyrone wasn't exactly an innocent bystander, was he, remember?
02:38No, but that's why we don't want to stir it all up again, do we?
02:41Do you really not care that you might have a great-grandson?
02:44No, I don't, actually.
02:46Because I've got enough dysfunctional family filling my mind as it is.
02:50And the sooner that one books for Bucharest, the better I shall be.
03:21PHONE RINGS
03:36Morning.
03:38Oh, hey.
03:40I was just in the area. Thought I'd check in. You OK?
03:43Surviving.
03:44Yeah? Speaking of survivors, how's the little one?
03:47Yeah, he's getting stronger, thanks.
03:51When was the last time you got out of here?
03:54Since the birth. Like a week ago.
03:57You going a bit stir-crazy yet?
03:59Yeah, getting there.
04:01Look, why don't you come for lunch with me?
04:03The bistro have got this two-for-one special thing.
04:08Yeah, thanks, but...
04:11I don't want to leave Frankie alone.
04:13Well, he's not going to be alone.
04:16Look, Lauren, getting out of here for two hours
04:20is not going to make you a bad mum.
04:22OK?
04:24Just...think about it, yeah?
04:34Well, it doesn't really matter, does it?
04:36I suppose the long and short of it is I've got no idea where Alina is right now.
04:40Well, you might not want to hear this, but it could be for the best.
04:44Leave it while alone and all that.
04:46I guess.
04:47You sound like me now.
04:49Look, whether you're the lad's dad or not,
04:51the bigger question is, do you want him to be your son?
04:55Or you could just tell me to keep my snout out.
04:58I don't want to fall out again.
05:00We're not going to fall out, are we?
05:02I don't know, mate.
05:04I suppose after everything that's gone on, all the pain that I caused,
05:07it probably would be easier if he wasn't mine.
05:09Probably would be, yeah, but it's not that simple, is it?
05:13Then what are you going to do?
05:15Find out what my options are, I suppose.
05:22I'm lost for words.
05:23It's a pre-season against the Under-18s.
05:25It's hardly the FA Cup final.
05:27I mean, is that how it's going to be, is it?
05:29Are you going to start joining the prawn sandwich brigade?
05:31Are you trying to guilt me out?
05:33Well, I'm just saying, you know, whatever happened to rain or shine,
05:35sleet or snow, whether you count it to our grave, we go.
05:39Do you really want to go there?
05:40What happened to, go Skarsgård still, go Skarsgård still?
05:43Well, that is a low blow. I was in a very bad place.
05:46Well, I'm caught between a rock and a hard place, aren't I?
05:49I.e. the missus.
05:50You know, if Sally wants a night out, she wants a night out.
05:52What can I do?
05:53Plus, it's all credit in the bank for away days.
05:55Got to chalk it up, haven't you?
05:59Us single pringles march to the sound of our own drum.
06:03Ooh, text from Demi.
06:06Go on, then, don't leave me hanging.
06:08That's not what I'm doing.
06:09Interesting. Kiss or no kiss?
06:11What?
06:13Maybe she's missing me.
06:14Yeah, either, or her guide dog is.
06:16Hiya.
06:17Hiya.
06:19What can I do for you?
06:21I was going to ask if you were going to the footy, but now I'm more interested in who's missing you.
06:26Oh, well, that's just a lady friend who P45'd him a few weeks ago.
06:30That Demi, is it?
06:31Yeah, that's right. That's not what I'm doing.
06:33And what exactly did she say in the text?
06:36Howdy, how you diddling?
06:39Any kisses?
06:40No, no.
06:42Oh, lovely.
06:44I reckon she's chasing you, so I'd play it cool if I was you.
06:47Well, of course, my middle name. I was thinking of sending her a funny gif.
06:50Well, nothing says cool like a dancing chihuahua.
06:53Excuse me, I'll have you know that I was going to send her the cat, same.
06:57So, fair play.
06:58Do you want a brew?
06:59Yep.
07:00Don't mind if I do.
07:01Don't mind if I do.
07:02I'm trying to avoid going home, but drama's turned up to eleven.
07:09It was so not what I was expecting.
07:12Well, all that matters is you found the retreat empowering.
07:15More like life-changing. I feel like I can do anything.
07:18Well, that's because you can.
07:20But before you take over the world, I think table five are ready to order.
07:24Yep.
07:27Morning. How you doing?
07:29Never mind that. Come on. What's this big news?
07:31Don't I even get a coffee first?
07:33Later. Come on, spill.
07:35Fine. I was going to give her a big build-up, but cut into the chase.
07:40Willow, we'd like you to run the new resource centre.
07:44What?
07:49I'm speechless.
07:50I hope not, because we're meeting a potential investor later.
07:54What, later today?
07:57Well, I've not prepared.
07:58Well, you'd better get your game face on, because this isn't a drill.
08:03So, Fizz is pretty frazzled.
08:05I mean, it's not every day you find out your other half might have a secret love child.
08:10Unless your other half's named Steve, in which case it's his superpower.
08:14Yes, thank you. Very funny.
08:16Aren't you supposed to be on a job, Mrs Jenkins?
08:19What? Oh!
08:20That's for you specifically.
08:22Why, what's wrong with Mrs Jenkins?
08:24Chatty, catty. Let's just say she's very high on the decibel range.
08:28Brian Blessed on speed. Thanks for that.
08:31You're welcome. Don't forget your earplugs.
08:36Got another brew?
08:37Nah, I've had five, thanks.
08:40Steve, can I ask you a personal question?
08:43Yeah, go on.
08:44If you were Tyrone, would you want to know?
08:47100%.
08:48Wow. You didn't even have to think about that.
08:52Well, otherwise it'd dispest us, don't you?
08:55Well, that's not certain.
08:56Still a chance, though, right?
08:58My girl, that little Ty, he's always gonna wonder.
09:01But if a leaner doesn't want any contact, then there's nothing anybody can do now, so...
09:07Yeah.
09:08Yeah, I suppose so.
09:11Right, I'll get out your hair.
09:13Oh, actually, can you do me a favour?
09:15Could you just watch the phones, please, while I just nip to the shop?
09:18Yeah, of course.
09:19Oh, you sipster.
09:20Oh, erm...
09:22If anything falls, just take the details back in a bit.
09:25Okay.
09:51Hello, Streetcars?
09:54Yeah.
09:55Yes, of course.
09:57What's the first name, please?
10:00Maya.
10:02And the surname, thank you.
10:05Sorry, can you spell that, please?
10:07B-U-T-T-C-H-E-E-K-S.
10:16Maya Butcheeks.
10:17Butcheeks.
10:19Ah, ha, ha, very funny.
10:21If I get my hands on you, you little scrotum.
10:26Look, like I said, I don't know if the boy's mine or not.
10:28Alina didn't tell Fiz, and I didn't get a chance to ask.
10:31Well, look, this is really more Adam's area of expertise.
10:34We'll be back tomorrow.
10:36No, no, no, tomorrow's too late.
10:39Okay, let's start with the basics, then.
10:42Where was the child born?
10:44I haven't got a clue.
10:45Is that important?
10:47Very.
10:48If he was born in Romania, that makes things a lot more complicated.
10:53Okay, let's say, for argument's sake, you are the child's father.
10:57Do you think she'll have named you on the birth certificate?
11:01After the way things ended, I doubt that very much.
11:03Look, I don't know much of anything, right?
11:05I just know that she's here to testify, and she's going back to Romania today.
11:09And that's if she's not already gone, because I've no idea...
11:11Okay, well, what exactly is your end objective?
11:15My end objective?
11:17What do you hope will come from this?
11:21Well, I just want to know the truth.
11:25Okay.
11:26Okay, well, then your starting position needs to be to get a DNA sample.
11:30Get a test done.
11:32Seriously?
11:33Tyrone, bottom line is, without parental responsibility or proof of paternity,
11:39you've got no rights.
11:46PHONE RINGS
11:48Go on, let me guess the names. I have a biggin'.
11:51Oh, sorry, love.
11:53Yes, yes, this is Streetcars.
11:56Yeah, of course.
11:59Erm...
12:01Yes, we've got a car seat.
12:04What's the name of the person, please?
12:09Sorry, say that name again.
12:39Thanks for that.
12:41We've got five minutes.
12:49You're having a laugh.
12:53Oh, you've already got solicitors involved, have you?
12:57I just wanted some advice.
12:59Advice, right.
13:00Well, I'll give you some advice, and it'll be cheaper.
13:03You be grateful for what you've got.
13:07You be very grateful that Fiz is still with you.
13:10And be even more grateful that Romania Gate is closed.
13:14Anna's left.
13:16Got her brains of a flaming rocking horse.
13:19Just...
13:22Hey, we could go to the cinema later.
13:24Yeah, cool.
13:25How's that new Florian Montaner movie?
13:27Looks good.
13:28Isn't that the big guy out of Creed 2?
13:29I don't know what you're talking about.
13:30All I know is it looks like a very interesting film.
13:32Oh, yeah, cos it's not like he's a super-hent or anything, is it?
13:34You think I'm that superficial?
13:35I know you are.
13:36Just trying to drool all over the popcorn.
13:38Rude.
13:39Although he is quite easy on the eye.
13:43Dylan.
13:44Second thoughts. I'm not hungry.
13:46I've had enough of this. Wait there.
13:47It's okay.
13:49None of this is okay.
13:52Dad!
14:00Do you want us an emoji for this?
14:01Me?
14:02Yes.
14:03I'm aware of its meaning.
14:05Do I want to know how you know that?
14:07Never mind all that.
14:09We've got 50 carrots to slice.
14:12I want you fired!
14:14Oh, Sean, this is not the time or the place.
14:15He should be in prison, Yasmeen!
14:18You know, I'm stuck right here.
14:19Don't get involved.
14:21You're a disgrace.
14:23The pair of you.
14:24Oi, no, no. Don't be taking this out on them.
14:26Why? What are you going to do, Mr. Big Man?
14:28Are you going to try and beat me up, are you?
14:30Try and make me go and kill myself?
14:32Come on, Sean. That's below the belt.
14:34Is it?
14:35Doing to Liam what he's still trying to do to my son?
14:36Dad, come away.
14:38How can you both be so stupid?
14:40Seriously, come on. You don't want to mess with him.
14:43I'm going to tell people.
14:45I'm going to let people know
14:46what kind of business this is you run.
14:48Oh, yeah.
14:49What kind of people you employ.
14:52You finished?
14:53Finished!
14:55I'm just getting started.
14:58And you,
14:59and you,
15:00with you.
15:03You're fooling no one.
15:05Right, come on. You've said your piece.
15:07No one!
15:19Look, maybe we should have gone to the precinct.
15:20No, no.
15:21Relax, yeah?
15:23Hey.
15:25Hey.
15:26I heard about what happened.
15:28How are you?
15:30I'm all right.
15:31A bit tired, I guess.
15:32How's baby doing?
15:34Yeah.
15:35Baby's all right.
15:37Getting stronger every day.
15:40Max just thought I deserved a time out.
15:42I'm not surprised.
15:43I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for you.
15:47I'll give you a few minutes.
15:49It's really great to see you.
15:50Thanks.
15:59She seems nice.
16:00Yep.
16:01Yeah, she's lovely.
16:03So,
16:04do you feel better about coming out?
16:06Yeah.
16:08Yeah, I do.
16:09Right.
16:10Let's see what's what.
16:12Great.
16:13Let's see if they'll agree to mediation
16:14before we issue the claim, yeah?
16:17Perfect.
16:18Okay, bye.
16:21Babe, look.
16:22It's not me.
16:24Oh, yeah.
16:25It's nice to see you out and about, innit?
16:27Yeah, it's great.
16:50Hiya.
16:52Mrs Pop?
16:54Miss.
16:55And please call me Alina.
16:56Alina?
16:57Okay.
16:58It's a beautiful name.
17:01What a handsome young man.
17:02And a tired one.
17:06Is everything okay?
17:08Yeah.
17:10Yeah, it's just
17:11the lad reminds me of someone.
17:13Right.
17:14Come on, let's get you where you need to be.
17:18So, long term,
17:19we envisage the resource centre
17:21to be a key community hub.
17:23Very worthy, I'm sure.
17:25I like to provide
17:26a healthy revenue stream.
17:28Now you're talking my language.
17:30Any other questions?
17:32Actually,
17:33I wouldn't mind hearing Leanne's vision.
17:35Literally, my next suggestion,
17:36Leanne,
17:37you up for that?
17:38Try and stop me.
17:39Living the energy.
17:42Well, I've got to go to another meeting.
17:44No worries.
17:46Me and the organ grinder,
17:47I've got it from here.
17:48Fantastic.
17:49We'll chat later.
17:53Great seeing you again.
17:55Likewise.
18:01Aaron can sell kegs to a nudist.
18:03Well, that's because he believes in the product.
18:05I'm sure.
18:07So, where would you like to start?
18:10How about a glass of wine?
18:12All the hard sells got me a little parched.
18:18Whoa, whoa, whoa.
18:19This isn't the shortcut to the airport.
18:20I'm sorry, love.
18:21I must have got a bit lost.
18:22No, this is completely the wrong way.
18:24Is it?
18:28What are you doing?
18:29Nothing.
18:33Since when did your mum start working for streetcars?
18:36She hasn't.
18:37Go, now.
18:39So, how come she's driving Alina around in one of their cars?
18:42Drive now.
18:43I'm sorry, love.
18:44Alina?
18:46Mum, what's going on?
18:48She's your mother.
18:50Busted.
18:55Oh, that's excellent.
18:56You know your wines.
18:58A woman of many talents.
19:00Ah, well, it's Nick, my partner.
19:02He's the expert.
19:03I'd neck anything.
19:05Right.
19:06Um, I probably should get back to work.
19:08So soon?
19:09I thought we might take this into town.
19:11We could go to my private club.
19:13Oh, well, I've probably told you everything I can about the project.
19:17You said I wanted to talk business.
19:19When I invest, I invest.
19:21You said I wanted to talk business.
19:23When I invest, I invest in a person.
19:26That means getting to know each other.
19:28And I appreciate that, but there'll be plenty more time to talk going forward.
19:32Well, that's assuming I splash the cash.
19:34It's not a done deal yet.
19:36I thought you liked the idea.
19:38I love the idea.
19:39What I guess I'm saying is I'd like to be wooed.
19:43It's a sizable amount of money you're asking for.
19:46With a sizable return.
19:48Even so.
19:49Rowan led me to believe I'd have your full attention.
19:53And I've given you that.
19:57Well, maybe I need you to give a little more.
20:02Call it an incentive-based agreement.
20:07Come on.
20:08Don't let Willa down.
20:13Please, just let me carry your bags or something.
20:15No!
20:17Look, I swear I had no idea she would pull a stunt like that.
20:20Honestly, love, he didn't.
20:21Why should I believe you?
20:22Because that's the truth. Please.
20:23Please, just stop and talk to me.
20:25There's nothing to talk about.
20:26Hi, Willa, where are you?
20:28Please, love, will you just give him two minutes?
20:30Why should I?
20:31Because my son is a good man and he deserves that.
20:34If you're going to be angry with anyone, be angry with me.
20:38You have two minutes.
20:40Use it well.
20:42Mums, eh?
20:44Things to do for the kids.
20:49Will, see something?
20:52Aye.
20:54Hello.
20:58His name is Dorian.
21:00Dorian?
21:02Never heard that name before.
21:04It means gift.
21:07Hey, Dorian.
21:10My name's Tyrone.
21:20Who's this?
21:21That's Teddy.
21:23Teddy.
21:40It looks like you.
21:42We've just got to be a win.
21:46I am sorry about Cassie.
21:49I thought your mother was dead.
21:51Long story.
21:54I'm not being horrible, but she's very strange.
21:57Well, believe me, she's been called a lot worse than that before.
22:03Yeah, you had your time.
22:06Yeah, you had your two minutes. Now I have to go.
22:08Well, what time's your plane?
22:10In three hours.
22:11You've got ages yet.
22:12Tyrone, what do you want from me?
22:17Look, I just want to know if he's mine, that's all.
22:20I know you might not want to talk to me after everything that happened.
22:23I get that, but this is bigger than any...
22:25It's yours.
22:30Now I have to go. You have what you wanted.
22:33Say something.
22:38Look, can I buy you a coffee or something?
22:41Please?
22:45You were right.
22:47I needed this. Thanks.
22:49You're welcome.
22:51Lauren, do you mind if I ask you something?
22:56Yeah, anything.
22:58Right, you know this Nathan?
23:02Does he know about the baby?
23:06You know what? It isn't none of my business.
23:08No, it's all right.
23:13He's not Frankie's dad.
23:16Oh, right.
23:18OK, so who is?
23:23Samandamore.
23:26Samandamore?
23:28It don't matter. Trust me, he won't care anyway.
23:31Yeah, but, you know, there's, like, child maintenance...
23:34Yeah, but I didn't have a chance to get his number.
23:36I was too wasted to even get his name.
23:40Can we just talk about something else?
23:42Yeah, yeah, of course.
23:44But, you know, I just... I worry about you.
23:49Yeah, I know you do.
23:52And please don't think I don't appreciate it.
23:56Would you like to see the dessert menu?
23:58No, thank you.
23:59Any teas, coffees?
24:02Best of Joe.
24:05Sorry, what did you say?
24:07Tea? Coffee?
24:09No, I'm good, thank you.
24:10Just the bill, please, Amy.
24:12Coming up.
24:16You OK?
24:17You've been in a funny mood ever since we arrived.
24:20Er, sorry, it's just ex-wife I grow.
24:23It's nothing to worry about.
24:25Well, you needn't have come for lunch.
24:27Well, you know me.
24:29Any opportunity to spend some time with my fiancée.
24:33I'll let you off, then.
24:37I'm just going to go and say hi to Lauren.
24:42Hey, guys.
24:43Hi.
24:44How are you doing?
24:45All right.
24:46I can see you're out and about.
24:47Yeah.
24:49This is our livelihood that you're messing with.
24:51And I've said I'm sorry.
24:52Well, that doesn't even come close.
24:55Look, I'm not trying to justify what I did.
25:01I've never done anything for Ty except break his heart and...
25:06I just saw this as a chance to make it right.
25:11Well, we've done dumber stuff, haven't we?
25:14Yeah.
25:15Yeah, a trick is, um...
25:18not to make bonk as a habit.
25:21Consider me as you bonked.
25:24You know what I mean.
25:27So, are we good, then?
25:28Yeah, go on, I'll let you off.
25:30Tim.
25:31What?
25:32Yeah, let's just consider this a one-off.
25:33Is that clear?
25:34Crystal clear.
25:36So, if we're all sorted, can I ask a favour?
25:40A favour?
25:41Talk about wanting jam on it.
25:43Seems Mr. Prawnsani has, like, bailed out of the match tonight.
25:46What's going on, lovey?
25:49I was wondering if I could sit with you tonight.
25:52Yeah, go on, then.
25:54You do know, basically, it's just gonna be a kick-around, right?
25:56Yeah.
25:58And I've got a three-season ticket.
26:00Like the song goes,
26:02come rain or shine, sleet or snow,
26:04with worthy company to our grave we go.
26:07Yes, hello!
26:10The last time I seen you, you said you weren't pregnant.
26:14Yeah.
26:16And you knew he was mine?
26:19The baby couldn't have been anyone else's.
26:21Why wouldn't he tell me?
26:25Because I knew we would never be together.
26:28That it'd cause so much hurt already.
26:31Well, we both did that.
26:34I ain't got to lie about it.
26:36I ain't got to lie about it.
26:39What good would it have done to tell the truth?
26:41Be honest, would you have really wanted him to be yours?
26:44Oh, no!
26:45Oh, no, I'll get it.
26:47No, no.
26:51Look, I don't know. I was so confused back then.
26:56And I wasn't?
26:58Right, well, what's done is done.
27:02So, what, you just, you went back to Romania?
27:04Yeah, only for a few months.
27:07Why only a few months?
27:09It wasn't safe for me back there.
27:11People were looking for me.
27:14Really?
27:15So then where did you go?
27:17I came back to Britain.
27:19Moved to Hastings.
27:21Hastings?
27:26So, so Dorian was born here, was he?
27:29Yeah.
27:30Yeah.
27:32This country is all he knows.
27:42What do you mean Grant's out? He was practically ready to sign when I left.
27:45Yeah, well, let's just say he was fishing for an incentive package.
27:48What incentive package?
27:50One involving me and his bed.
27:53I see.
27:55I don't know what to say.
27:57Neither did he when I told him to jog on.
28:00This isn't a judgement.
28:02Could you possibly misconstrue his intentions?
28:05That creep couldn't be more subtle if he was wearing a sandwich board with the words
28:09I want to have sex with you in big red letters.
28:13And there was no way to let him down more gently.
28:16Well, he was lucky I didn't chin him.
28:19I'm not going to feel bad for what I did.
28:20I'm not suggesting you should.
28:23I know it must have been serious, given the obvious consequences.
28:28What do you mean obvious consequences?
28:30The knock on to the resource centre, of course.
28:32Even with yours and Nick's 20,000, we're still a long way short.
28:36Well, we'll just have to find a new investor.
28:39Well, money bags don't grow on trees.
28:42Just worry, we're losing impetus.
28:47Unless...
28:50No, I wouldn't want you to feel a conflict of interest.
28:55No, go on, unless what?
28:57It just suddenly occurred to me that this might represent a wonderful opportunity for Amy.
29:06You know what?
29:07Forget I ever mentioned it.
29:09Unlike the grants of this world,
29:11I would never want you to do something you weren't completely comfortable with.
29:21I mean, Hastings is what?
29:23300 miles away or something?
29:26Did you never even think about getting in touch?
29:28We weren't together.
29:29Well, I still might have helped.
29:30I didn't need your help, I still don't.
29:33Of course.
29:35I bet you're a great mum.
29:42So, you and Fiz are married?
29:48Yeah, yeah, a couple of years now.
29:51I'm glad for you both.
29:54Truly.
29:59Well, I have to go now.
30:01I thought you said things weren't safe for you in Romania.
30:05The men who wanted to hurt me are in custody now.
30:08Hopefully they'll stay there.
30:12I'll be back in two weeks.
30:14Well, for how long?
30:16I don't know that.
30:17I need to come and read a victim impact statement and wait for the verdict.
30:22And then?
30:24And then hopefully I'll move back to Romania forever.
30:28Forever?
30:30Well, I miss my country.
30:32I know this isn't what you wanted to hear.
30:38No, I know you've got to do what you think is best for you and Dorit.
30:45What are you thinking?
30:48I'm thinking he doesn't even know who I am.
30:52Probably never will.
30:58So, um, Sean's been posting about Spidal.
31:04Ah, well, um, judging by your expression, I guess it's not a five-star review.
31:12Apparently we're deluded do-gooders.
31:15Just ignore it.
31:17Easier said than done.
31:18There's always going to be trolls.
31:20Except Sean is not a troll.
31:22He's a friend.
31:24Or should I say he was a friend, just like Gary and Maria.
31:28Look, if you want to let him go, I understand.
31:32After all, at the end of the day, it's your call.
31:36Let me ask you this.
31:38Do you see potential in the boy?
31:40Yeah.
31:41Yeah, I do.
31:42Yeah, I do.
31:44I've met plenty of lost causes in prison, and this lad isn't one of them.
31:49And do you honestly believe he can turn his life around?
31:52Touch wood.
31:53With time, patience, and a guiding hand, yeah.
31:58Then I trust your instincts.
32:01It might affect the bottom line.
32:03Some things are more important than profit margins.
32:07That woman is lucky Alina didn't press charges.
32:10Or Steve, for that matter.
32:12Well, according to Tim, Steve's took her to the football.
32:15Oh, that's typical.
32:16She drops a proverbial grenade and then she just brushes it off as if it's nothing to do with her.
32:23I'm quite surprised you're taking it so calmly.
32:28Well, at least I got to speak to Alina.
32:30Right, so we reckon that's a good thing, do we?
32:33Right, so we reckon that's a good thing, do we?
32:36And what did she have to say for herself?
32:40Oh, yes.
32:41Just remembered I've probably left me rollers on, so I'll just make myself scarce.
32:53Is he yours then?
32:57That's what she reckons.
32:59Is she certain about that?
33:02Yeah, 100%.
33:04Well, I'm sorry.
33:06It must have been hard for you.
33:09Listen, my mind's still a bit all over the place.
33:12Yeah, well, it's lots of process, isn't it?
33:15It can't have been easy for Alina, either.
33:17Having to unpack all that and then just jump on a plane and go.
33:24I would have understood, you know, if you wanted to go to the airport with them.
33:30They've not gone to the airport.
33:32Why? Did she miss the flight?
33:34No, Alina's still got to give some kind of victim statement or something,
33:37so she's going to stay in Weatherfield until the trial finishes.
33:44She wants me to get to know Dorian.
34:00I'm just...
34:02I'm confused because I thought she was going back to Romania.
34:06Well, yeah, she was, but like I said, she's now decided to stay till the end of the trial.
34:12And that was her idea?
34:14100%.
34:15Honestly, I mean, I was shocked, too, because she said how homesick she is.
34:18Please tell me you haven't asked Alina to stay here.
34:21Don't be daft. I'm not a complete nutter.
34:24Don't be daft. I'm not a complete nutter.
34:28She's going to stay at Debbie's hotel.
34:31Wow. That can't be cheap. I'm surprised she can afford it.
34:35Well, she can. I said I'd pay for everything.
34:39You mean we'd pay for everything?
34:41Look, I know it's not ideal, right, and I know I should have spoken to you...
34:44Except you didn't.
34:46Right, well, look, I can tell her then that, you know, you're not on board...
34:49No way, no way. I'm not taking the blame for this.
34:53I wouldn't blame you.
34:54Not now, maybe, Ty, but... give it a month or so.
35:00No.
35:02We'll find a way to make it work.
35:15You took your time.
35:16I came as soon as I could.
35:19How's Frankie?
35:20Yeah, like you care.
35:21OK, enough small talk.
35:24What did Max want?
35:26To be my mate.
35:27You know what I mean. What were you chatting about?
35:29This and that. Out special.
35:32Oh, he did ask me who the baby daddy was.
35:37Chill out. I made some up.
35:40And he bought it?
35:41Yeah, he did. You're not the only good liar around here.
35:44Well, nice work.
35:47OK, so why am I here?
35:49Well, me and your son need some things.
35:53That's the list.
35:59I'm here because you want me to go shopping for you.
36:01Well, I don't want to leave Frankie on his own, so...
36:03You did today.
36:04Well, that was a one-off.
36:06I'm not your lackey.
36:07Right, OK, then, will you sit with Frankie?
36:10Oh, yeah. You can't, can you?
36:12Because that would mean some very awkward questions, wouldn't it?
36:16Awkward questions, wouldn't it?
36:18That sounds to me like blackmail.
36:21Then think of it as some parenting.
36:25Deal?
36:28Deal.
36:37No, thank you, Debbie. I appreciate it.
36:41Yeah, I owe you one.
36:43Right, cheers, take care, bye.
36:44Right.
36:46Just going to do him a deal.
36:48Oh, that's kind of her.
36:49Yeah, only 50 a night.
36:50Only? Wow.
36:52Guess that puts our holiday plans on hold, then.
36:55Look, I'll do extra shifts or more breakdowns or whatever.
36:57I'll make up the difference, I promise.
36:59Yeah, maybe I can get some overtime.
37:02Really? What, you'd do that for Alina?
37:05Ty, I would do that for our family.
37:08Yeah, of course. We should get tea on her anyway, shouldn't we?
37:11I hope you're getting something.
37:12Like what?
37:13Like Ruby and Hope and what you're going to tell them.
37:17I am Hank, Marvin.
37:19I'm so hungry I could eat a law-flying duck.
37:27What's happened?
37:28You know what have we missed?
37:30Over to you.
37:33You sound so excited about it.
37:35Well, I just want to be part of something that's bigger than me.
37:38You think this senses it?
37:40Well, potentially.
37:41With the right investment, it's just about making it a reality.
37:45Well, if the code exists, then everything's possible.
37:48Sometimes you need a bit more than the code.
37:50How do you mean?
37:51Well, it's all about tangible intention.
37:53Be it volunteering, fundraising, investing.
37:56In some ways, it's the next step.
37:59To what?
38:00Well, to being who you want to be.
38:02It's like a leap into the unknown.
38:04Of course, not everybody's ready for that level of commitment or purpose.
38:07Well, and how do you know when you're ready?
38:09Well, to start with, you have to put your absolute trust in someone.
38:13Like I have with Rowan.
38:14I mean, I believe in his vision and he believes in mine.
38:18I trust you, absolutely.
38:19Aw, Amy, that's so sweet.
38:21I mean it.
38:22And I want to be part of something bigger.
38:24Well, you have got potential, Amy.
38:26But you are only at the start of your journey.
38:28A journey's nothing without a destination.
38:31See you tomorrow.
38:32Yeah, see ya.
38:39Hiya.
38:45Hiya, it's me.
38:46So, Amy's interested in making an investment.
38:52Well, so interested that she's meeting a financial advisor with me tomorrow.
39:01I can't believe I've got a little brother.
39:03That's so cool.
39:05So are they, like, moving in with us?
39:06No, of course not.
39:07I wouldn't mind if they came to live with us.
39:09We'll just try it.
39:10Yeah, well, that is never gonna happen.
39:11Are we going to meet him, at least?
39:13Definitely.
39:14Oh, you can forget that, and you can't make me either.
39:16Love, no one is gonna make you do anything, okay?
39:20Alina and Dorian are just staying until the trial's over.
39:24Well, that's the plan for the moment, but, you know, things might change.
39:26Things have already changed.
39:28Well, not between us, they've not.
39:29And what happens when you like her and Dorian more than us?
39:32Oh, sweetheart, that is never gonna happen.
39:34Again, that is never gonna happen.
39:36Oh, well, it did before.
39:41She likes her drama.
39:43Don't worry.
39:47What?
39:49Aye, aye, Britain's most wanted.
39:51I thought you were going out with Sal tonight.
39:53Oh, Rosie rang. That was two and a half hours ago.
39:55How was the game?
39:56Dire.
39:57He dodged a bullet.
39:58Our lot running around like headless chickens.
40:00Get out.
40:01Like our Hope and Ruby on a sugar rush.
40:03Yeah, I still had a laugh, though.
40:05You went together, then?
40:06Yeah.
40:07What, even though she pinched your cab and kidnapped a punter?
40:10Well, it was a mercy measure.
40:12Yeah.
40:13That's not what you called it earlier.
40:14I think the exact word, she was an absolute...
40:16Right, has anybody got a drink?
40:17Yeah.
40:18I'll have an orange juice, please, love.
40:20And I'll go and pay the water bill.
40:22Yeah, go on.
40:25You two are as thick as thieves, aren't you?
40:27Thief being the operative word.
40:30So what's the SP with Demi?
40:31She up for a round, see her work?
40:32Oh, sugar, I forgot to text her, didn't I?
40:34Oh, she'll think you're ghosting her.
40:35No, look, I've still got some moves.
40:37Work the old Stevie magic?
40:38Oh, that'll get you staring.
40:45Go on, you're stewing on it, aren't you?
40:47Oh, I'll talk to him about it tomorrow.
40:50You don't have to walk on eggshells.
40:57Am I interrupting something?
40:59Go on, talk to him.
41:00All right, I will.
41:01Talk to me about what?
41:03Oh...
41:06Right, look, I don't want to make a big thing of this, just...
41:11Before, when I told the girls that Alina was staying
41:14till the end of the trial,
41:16you said, yeah, that's the plan at the moment.
41:19Yeah, what about it?
41:21Well, it just seemed strange to me
41:23because you said that she was missing home.
41:25Right, well, Alina is allowed to change her mind.
41:29And do you want her to change her mind?
41:31Oh, come on, what? I don't know.
41:33I've spent, what, an hour with her and Dorian.
41:35Right, I'll put it another way.
41:37If, you know, going forward,
41:39she asked you to be part of Dorian's life,
41:43what would you say?
41:44Well, I've not even thought about that.
41:46Would you say yes or would you say no?
41:49Fiz, you know, you and the girls mean the world to me.
41:52No, I don't doubt that.
41:54That's not what she's asking you, though, is it?
41:58Yeah.
41:59Hmm. I thought so.
42:02What? I'm Dorian's dad.
42:04I don't want him growing up not knowing that.
42:06Yeah, that's fair enough, yeah.
42:08Just... I'm going to go to bed.
42:10No.
42:11Night, Evelyn.
42:12Night.
42:16Right, you know what you're doing?
42:19Oh, I'm just trying to do what's right.
42:21Yeah, yeah, well, that's very admirable.
42:23Just as long as you realise once you go down that road
42:26there is no coming back.
42:29Right.
42:30Well, I won't mess this up, I promise you.
42:32Right. Well, I'll hold you to that.
42:35Because it might just be that you, you know,
42:38you gain a son but you've lost your family.
