00:25Tea.
00:26Tea.
00:27There was a fly at eight o'clock.
00:29Doesn't mean she'll be on it.
00:31Morning.
00:32Morning.
00:33Hey, cubber.
00:35Yeah, please, what are you up to?
00:38I was... I was checking flights to Bucharest last night.
00:41But I told you Alina said she was leaving today.
00:44Oh, no, but she's checked out the hotel. Maybe she's changed her mind.
00:47Right, sorry, why does it now seem like you're blaming me?
00:50You wasn't.
00:51Aren't you?
00:52No, of course not.
00:53What?
00:55Look, I just wish you'd have called me straight away.
00:57Are you for real?
00:59What should she have called you about?
01:01Alina and a little boy who may or may not be his son.
01:13Hiya.
01:14You're not at work today?
01:15No, day off.
01:17What's that?
01:18Just that new controller.
01:19Before you ask, it is my own money.
01:21Oh, all right, relax. I wasn't accusing you of anything.
01:25Anyway, like I say, I'm a man of leisure today, so...
01:28Right.
01:29I thought, you know, we could do something.
01:31Father and son, kicking it, illing and chilling.
01:34Oh, please don't.
01:36Oh, I thought we could have some fun.
01:38I can't.
01:39Hey, don't put yourself down. Even someone like you can have some fun.
01:42Right, well, I'm not in the mood.
01:44We could go for lunch.
01:46I just want to play my game, Dad.
01:47You can spare a couple of hours for your old man.
01:49Dad!
01:50Dad!
01:53Look, you cannot let this Mason dictate the rest of your life.
01:57It's not about Mason.
01:58Sometimes we've just got to face our fears.
02:01I'm not scared of him.
02:02Good.
02:04So prove it, Dylan.
02:07This is all just speculation.
02:09The kid may not even be yours.
02:11Yeah, and he might be.
02:13Yeah, exactly.
02:15I just want to know either way.
02:16But if there was something that she wanted you to know,
02:18she'd have got in touch with you a long time ago.
02:21And if it is true, she's still chosen not to tell you.
02:23If I was you, I would just leave well enough alone.
02:26Except you're not him.
02:27I can't just pretend this isn't happening.
02:30I'm going to work.
02:35Why are you encouraging him?
02:37It's called being a supportive mum.
02:39You might want to try it sometime.
02:42Look, you are confusing the lad.
02:45If you asked me, you never should have said anything in the first place.
02:48Are you being serious?
02:49I am too.
02:50That woman has wreaked havoc on this family and now she's doing it again.
02:53Tyrone wasn't exactly an innocent bystander, was he, remember?
02:56No, but that's why.
02:57We don't want to stir it all up again, do we?
02:59Do you really not care that you might have a great-grandson?
03:02No, I don't, actually.
03:04Because I've got enough dysfunctional family filling my mind as it is.
03:08And the sooner that one books for Bucharest, the better I shall be.
03:15Right.
03:46SHE SIGHS
03:54Morning.
03:56Oh, hi.
03:58I was just in the area, thought I'd check in. You OK?
04:01Surviving.
04:02Yeah? Speaking of survivors, how's the little one?
04:05Yeah, he's getting stronger, thanks.
04:08When was the last time you got out of here?
04:11Since the birth. Like a week ago.
04:14You going a bit stir-crazy yet?
04:16Yeah, getting there.
04:18Look, why don't you come for lunch with me?
04:20The bistro have got this two-for-one special thing.
04:25Yeah, thanks, but...
04:28..I don't want to leave Frankie alone.
04:30Well, he's not going to be alone.
04:34Look, Lauren, getting out of here for two hours
04:38is not going to make you a bad mum.
04:40OK?
04:42Just...think about it, yeah?
04:52Well, it doesn't really matter, does it?
04:54I suppose the longer and shorter it is,
04:56I've got no idea where Alina is right now.
04:58Well, you might not want to hear this, but it could be for the best.
05:02Leave it while alone and all that?
05:04I guess.
05:05You sound like me now.
05:06Look, whether you're the lad's dad or not,
05:09the real question is, do you want him to be your son?
05:13Or you could just tell me to keep my snout out.
05:15I don't want to fall out again.
05:17Look, we're not going to fall out, are we?
05:19I don't know, mate.
05:21I suppose after everything that's gone on,
05:23all the pain that I caused,
05:24it probably would be easier if he wasn't mine.
05:26Probably would be, yeah, but it's not that simple, is it?
05:30Then what are you going to do?
05:32Find out what my options are, I suppose.
05:39I'm lost for words.
05:40It's a pre-season against the under-18s.
05:42It's hardly the FA Cup final.
05:44I mean, is that how it's going to be, is it?
05:46Are you going to start joining the prawn sandwich brigade?
05:48Are you trying to gulp me out?
05:50Well, I'm just saying, you know, whatever happened to rain or shine,
05:53sleet or snow, wherever you counted to our grave, we go.
05:56Do you really want to go there?
05:58What happened to Gus Garsdale? Gus Garsdale?
06:01Well, that is a low blow. I was in a very bad place.
06:04Well, I'm caught between a rock and a hard place, aren't I?
06:08You know, if Sally wants a night out, she wants a night out.
06:10What can I do?
06:11Plus, it's all credit in the bank for away days.
06:13Got to chalk it up, haven't you?
06:16Well, single Pringles march to the sound of our own drum.
06:20Ooh, a text from Demi.
06:24Go on, then, don't leave me hanging. That's not what I'm doing.
06:27Interesting. Kiss or no kiss?
06:29What?
06:30Maybe she's missing me.
06:31Either that or her guide dog is.
06:33Hiya. Hiya.
06:36What can I do for you?
06:37Well, I was going to ask if you were going to the footy,
06:40but now I'm more interested in who's missing you.
06:43Oh, well, that's just a lady friend who P45'd him a few weeks ago.
06:47That Demi, is it?
06:48Yeah, that's right. Wants to know how I'm doing.
06:50And what exactly did she say in the text?
06:53Howdy. How you diddling?
06:56Any kisses?
06:57Uno.
06:59Oh, lovely.
07:00I reckon she's chasing you, so I'd play it cool if I was you.
07:04Well, of course, my middle name. I was thinking of sending her a funny gif.
07:07Well, nothing says cool like a dancing chihuahua.
07:10Excuse me, I'll have you know that I was going to send her the cat, saying...
07:14So, fair play.
07:15Do you want a brew? Yep.
07:17Don't mind if I do.
07:19I'm trying to avoid going home.
07:21The drama's turned up to 11.
07:26It was so not what I was expecting.
07:29Well, all that matters is you found the retreat empowering.
07:32More like life-changing.
07:34I feel like I can do anything.
07:36Well, that's because you can.
07:38But before you take over the Willow, I think table five are ready to order.
07:42Yeah.
07:44Morning. How you doing?
07:46Er, never mind that. Come on. What's this big news?
07:49Don't I even get a coffee first?
07:51Er, later. Come on, spill.
07:53Fine. I was going to give it a big build-up, but cut into the chase.
07:57Willow would like you to run the new resource centre.
08:02What?
08:06I'm speechless.
08:08I hope not.
08:09Cos we're meeting a potential investor later.
08:12What, later today?
08:14Well, I've not prepared.
08:16Well, you'd better get your game face on, because this isn't a drill.
08:21So, Fierce is pretty frazzled.
08:23I mean, it's not every day you find out your other half might have a secret love child.
08:28Unless your other half's name's Steve, in which case it's his superpower.
08:32Yes, thank you. Very funny.
08:34Aren't you supposed to be on a job, Mrs Jenkins?
08:37What? Oh!
08:38That's for you specifically.
08:40Why, what's wrong with Mrs Jenkins?
08:42Chatty catty. Let's just say she's very high on the decibel range.
08:46Like Brian Blessed on speed. Thanks for that.
08:49You're welcome. Don't forget your earplugs.
08:53Do you want another brew?
08:55No, I'm fine, thanks.
08:57Steve, can I ask you a personal question?
09:01Yeah, go on.
09:02If you were Tyrone, would you want to know?
09:05100%.
09:06Wow. I didn't even have to think about that.
09:09Well, otherwise it'd disfest us, don't you?
09:12But it's not certain.
09:14There's still a chance, though, right?
09:15A guy like little Ty's always gonna wonder.
09:18But if Alina doesn't want any contact, then there's nothing anybody can do now, so...
09:24Yeah.
09:26I suppose so.
09:28Right, I'll get out your hair.
09:30Oh, actually, can you do me a favour?
09:32Mm-hm.
09:33Could you just watch the phones, please, while I just nip to the shop?
09:35Yeah, of course.
09:36Oh, you sipster.
09:38Oh, erm, if anything calls, just take the details back in a bit.
09:42OK.
09:43Mm-hm.
10:01PHONE RINGS
10:09Hello, Streetcalls?
10:12Yeah. Yes, of course.
10:14What's the first name, please?
10:18Maya.
10:19And the surname, thank you.
10:23Sorry, can you spell that, please?
10:25B-U-T-T-C-H-E-E-K-S.
10:34Maya Butcheeks.
10:36Ah, ha, ha. Very funny.
10:38If I get my hands on you, you little scrotum.
10:43Look, like I said, I don't know if the boy's mine or not.
10:46Alina didn't tell Fiz and I didn't get a chance to ask.
10:49Well, look, this is really more Adam's area of expertise.
10:52He will be back tomorrow.
10:54No. No, no, tomorrow's too late.
10:57OK, let's start with the basics, then.
10:59Where was the child born?
11:01I haven't got a clue.
11:03Is that important?
11:05Very.
11:06If he was born in Romania, that makes things a lot more complicated.
11:10OK, let's say, for argument's sake, you are the child's father.
11:14Do you think she'll have named you on the birth certificate?
11:18After the way things ended, I doubt that very much.
11:21Look, I don't know much of anything, right?
11:23I just know that she's here to testify
11:25and she's going back to Romania today.
11:27And that's if she's not already gone.
11:29OK, well, what exactly is your end objective?
11:32My end objective?
11:34What do you hope will come from this?
11:39I just want to know the truth.
11:42OK.
11:43OK, well, then your starting position needs to be to get a DNA sample.
11:47Get a test done.
11:49Serious, though?
11:51Tyrone, bottom line is, without parental responsibility
11:54or proof of paternity,
11:56you've got no rights.
11:59PHONE RINGS
12:01Go on, let me guess the names I have a big in.
12:04Oh, sorry, love.
12:06Erm, yes, yes, this is Streetcars.
12:10Yeah, of course.
12:12Erm...
12:14Yes, we've got a car seat.
12:17Erm, what's the name of the person, please?
12:22Sorry, say that name again.
12:25Sorry, say that name again.
12:55Thanks for that.
13:00I've only got five minutes.
13:08You're having a laugh.
13:12Oh, you've already got solicitors involved, have you?
13:16I just wanted some advice.
13:18Advice, right.
13:19Well, I'll give you some advice and it'll be cheaper.
13:22Be grateful for what you've got.
13:25You'll be very grateful that Fiz is still with you
13:28and be even more grateful that Romania Gate is closed, honestly.
13:33Got their brains of a flaming rocking horse.
13:36Just...
13:40Hey, we could go to the cinema later.
13:42Yeah, cool.
13:43There's that new Florian Montagnier movie.
13:45Looks good.
13:46Isn't that the big guy out of Creed 2?
13:48I don't know what you're talking about.
13:50I don't think you're super hench or anything, is it?
13:52You think I'm that superficial?
13:53I know you are.
13:54Just trying to drool all over the popcorn.
13:56Rude.
13:57Although he is quite easy on the eye.
14:00Dylan.
14:01Second thoughts, I'm not hungry.
14:03I've had enough of this. Wait there.
14:05It's OK.
14:06None of this is OK.
14:10Dad!
14:17Do you want us an emoji for this?
14:19Yes.
14:20I'm aware of its meaning.
14:22Do I want to know how you know that?
14:24Never mind all that.
14:26We've got 50 carrots to slice.
14:29I want you fired!
14:31Oh, Sean, this is not the time or the place.
14:33He should be in prison, Yasmine!
14:35You know I'm stuck right here.
14:37Look, don't get involved.
14:39You're a disgrace.
14:41The pair of you.
14:42Oi, no, no, don't be taking this out on them.
14:44Why? What are you going to do, Mr Big Man?
14:46Are you going to try and beat me up, are you?
14:48Try and make me go and kill myself?
14:50Come on, Sean, that's below the belt.
14:51Is it?
14:52Doing to Liam what he's still trying to do to my son?
14:54Dad, come away.
14:56How can you both be so stupid?
14:58Seriously, come on, you don't want to mess with him.
15:01I'm going to tell people.
15:02I'm going to let people know.
15:04What kind of business this is you run.
15:06Oh, yeah.
15:07What kind of people you employ.
15:09You finished?
15:10Finished!
15:13I'm just getting started.
15:16And you,
15:17with you,
15:20you're fooling no one.
15:22Right, come on, you've said your piece.
15:24No one!
15:36Look, maybe we should have gone to the precinct.
15:37No, no, relax, yeah?
15:40Hey.
15:42Hey.
15:44I heard about what happened.
15:46How are you?
15:47I'm all right.
15:48A bit tired, I guess.
15:50How's baby doing?
15:52Yeah, baby's all right.
15:54Getting stronger every day.
15:57Max just thought I deserved a time out.
16:00I'm not surprised.
16:01I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for you.
16:04I'll give you a few minutes.
16:06It's really great to see you.
16:08Thanks.
16:14She seems nice.
16:16Yep.
16:17Yeah, she's lovely.
16:19So, do you feel better about coming out?
16:22Yeah.
16:23Yeah, I do.
16:25Right, let's see what's what.
16:28Great, let's see if they'll agree to mediation
16:30before we issue the claim, yeah?
16:33Perfect.
16:34OK, bye.
16:37Babe, look.
16:38What's that mean?
16:39Oh, yeah.
16:41It's nice to see you out and about, innit?
16:43Yeah, it's great.
17:06Hiya.
17:08Mrs Pop?
17:09Mrs Pop?
17:10Miss.
17:11And please call me Alina.
17:13Alina?
17:14OK.
17:15It's a beautiful name.
17:18What a handsome young man.
17:19And a tired one.
17:23Is everything OK?
17:25Yeah.
17:27Yeah, it's just the lad reminds me of someone.
17:30Right, come on, let's get you where you need to be.
17:33So, long term, we envisage the resource centre
17:36to be a key community hub.
17:39Very worthy, I'm sure.
17:40Allied to providing a healthy revenue stream.
17:44Now you're talking my language.
17:46Any other questions?
17:48Actually, I wouldn't mind hearing Leanne's vision.
17:51Literally my next suggestion.
17:52Leanne, you up for that?
17:53Oh, try and stop me.
17:55Living the energy.
17:58Well, I've got to go to another meeting.
18:00No worries.
18:01Me and the old man grinder have got her from here.
18:03Fantastic.
18:05We'll chat later.
18:09Great seeing you again.
18:10Likewise.
18:16A roam could sell kicks to a nudist.
18:18Well, that's because he believes in the product.
18:20I'm sure.
18:22So, where would you like to start?
18:25How about a glass of wine?
18:27All the hard sell.
18:28Right, a glass of wine.
18:29All the hard sell's got me a little parched.
18:35Whoa, whoa, whoa.
18:36This isn't the shortcut of the airport.
18:37I'm sorry, love.
18:38I must have got a bit lost.
18:39No, this is completely the wrong way.
18:41Is it?
18:45What are you doing?
18:46Nothing.
18:50Since when did your mum start working for streetcars?
18:53She doesn't.
18:54Go, now.
18:56So, how come she's driving Alina round in one of their cars?
18:59Drive now.
19:00I'm sorry, love.
19:01Alina?
19:03Mum, what's going on?
19:05She's your mother.
19:07Busted.
19:15Oh, that's excellent.
19:16You know your wines.
19:18A woman of many talents.
19:20Ah, well, it's Nick, my partner.
19:22He's the expert.
19:23I'd neck anything.
19:25Right.
19:26I probably should get back to work.
19:28So soon?
19:29I thought we might take this into town.
19:31We could go to my private club.
19:33Oh, well, I've probably told you everything I can about the project.
19:37You said I wanted to talk business.
19:39When I invest, I invest in a person.
19:42That means getting to know each other.
19:44And I appreciate that,
19:45but there'll be plenty more time to talk going forward.
19:48Well, that's assuming I splash the cash.
19:50It's not a done deal, yeah?
19:52I thought you liked the idea.
19:54I love the idea.
19:55What I guess I'm saying is I'd like to be wooed.
19:59It's a sizeable amount of money you're asking for.
20:02With a sizeable return?
20:04Even so.
20:05Rowan led me to believe I'd have your full attention.
20:09And I've given you that.
20:13Well, maybe I need you to give a little more.
20:18I need you to give a little more.
20:20Call it an incentive-based agreement.
20:25Come on.
20:26Don't let Willa down.
20:31Please, just let me carry your bags or something.
20:33No!
20:34Look, I swear I had no idea she would pull a stunt like that.
20:37Honestly, love, he didn't.
20:38Why should I believe you?
20:39Because that's the truth.
20:40Please, please, just stop and talk to me.
20:42There's nothing to talk about.
20:44Hi, how are you?
20:45Please, love, will you just give him two minutes?
20:47Why should I?
20:48Because my son is a good man and he deserves that.
20:51If you're going to be angry with anyone, be angry with me.
20:55You have two minutes.
20:57Use it well.
21:00Mums, eh?
21:01Things to do for the kids.
21:06Will, see something?
21:09Aye.
21:11Hello.
21:13His name is Doreen.
21:15Doreen?
21:17Never heard that name before.
21:19It means gift.
21:23Hey, Doreen.
21:25My name's Tyrone.
21:35Who's this?
21:37That's Ted, eh?
21:39Ted, is it?
21:41Is it?
22:02Looks like you.
22:04Which has got to be a win.
22:07I am sorry about Cassie.
22:10I thought your mother was dead.
22:12Long story.
22:15I'm not being horrible, but she's very strange.
22:18Well, believe me, she's been called a lot worse than that before.
22:24Yeah, you had your two minutes, now I have to go.
22:26What time's your plane?
22:28In three hours.
22:29You've got ages yet.
22:30Tyrone, what do you want from me?
22:35Look, I just want to know if he's mine, that's all.
22:38Look, I know you might not want to talk to me after everything that happened.
22:41I get that, but this is bigger than any...
22:43It's yours.
22:48Now I have to go. You have what you wanted.
22:54Say something.
22:59Look, can I buy you a coffee or something?
23:02Please?
23:05You were right.
23:07I needed this, thanks.
23:09You're welcome.
23:11Lauren, do you mind if I ask you something?
23:15Yeah, anything.
23:17Right, you know this Nathan?
23:20Does he know about the baby?
23:25You know what, it isn't none of my business.
23:27No, it's all right.
23:29It's all right.
23:33He's not Frankie's dad.
23:36Oh, right.
23:38OK, so who is?
23:43Just some randomer.
23:45It don't matter. Trust me, he won't care anyway.
23:48Yeah, but you know there's, like, child maintenance...
23:50Yeah, but I didn't have a chance to get his number.
23:52I was too wasted to even get his name.
23:56Can we just talk about something else?
23:58Yeah, yeah, of course.
24:01But, you know, I just... I worry about you.
24:06Yeah, I know you do.
24:08And please don't think I don't appreciate it.
24:12Would you like to see the dessert menu?
24:14No, thank you.
24:16Any teas, coffees?
24:18Beth to Joe.
24:22Sorry, what did you say?
24:24Tea? Coffee?
24:25No, I'm good, thank you.
24:27Bill, please see me.
24:28Coming up.
24:32You OK?
24:34You've been in a funny mood ever since we arrived.
24:37Er, sorry, it's just ex-wife I grow.
24:40It's nothing to worry about.
24:42Well, you needn't have come for lunch.
24:44Well, you know me.
24:46Any opportunity to spend some time with my fiancée.
24:50I'll let you off, then.
24:53I'm just going to go and say hi to Lauren.
24:58Hey, guys.
24:59All right?
25:00How are you doing?
25:01All right.
25:02See you out and about.
25:03Yeah.
25:04This is our livelihood that you're messing with.
25:06And I've said I'm sorry.
25:07Well, that doesn't even come close.
25:10Look, I'm not trying to justify what I did.
25:16I've never done anything for Ty except break his heart,
25:20and I just saw this as a chance to make it right.
25:24Well, we've done dumber stuff, haven't we?
25:26Yeah.
25:28Yeah, a trick is, erm...
25:31not to make bonkers a habit.
25:35Consider me as your bonked.
25:37You know what I mean.
25:40So, are we good, then?
25:42Yeah, go on, I'll let you off.
25:43Tim.
25:44What?
25:45Yeah, let's just consider this a one-off.
25:46Is that clear?
25:47Crystal clear.
25:49So, if we're all saucers,
25:52so, if we're all saucers,
25:54can I ask a favour?
25:56A favour?
25:57Talk about wanting jam on it.
25:59It seems Mr Prawnsarnie has, like,
26:01bailed out of the match tonight.
26:03What's going on, lovey?
26:05I was wondering if I could sit with you tonight.
26:08Yeah, go on, then.
26:10You do know, basically, it's just going to be a kick-around, right?
26:13Yeah.
26:14And I've got a three-season ticket.
26:17Like the song goes,
26:18Come rain or shine, sleet or snow,
26:21With worthy candy to our grave we go.
26:24Yes, hello!
26:28The last time I seen you, you said you weren't pregnant.
26:32Yeah.
26:34And you knew he was mine?
26:37The baby couldn't have been anyone else's.
26:39Why wouldn't he tell me?
26:43Because I knew we would never be together.
26:46Then it caused so much hurt already.
26:49When we both did that,
26:52then what's a lie about?
26:55What good would it have done to tell the truth?
26:57Be honest, would you have really wanted him to be yours?
27:00Oh, no!
27:01Oh, no, I'll get him.
27:03No, no.
27:07Look, I don't know, I was so confused back then.
27:12And I wasn't?
27:14Right, well, what's done is done.
27:18So what, you just, you went back to Romania?
27:21Yeah, only for a few months.
27:23Why only a few months?
27:26It wasn't safe for me back there.
27:28People were looking for me.
27:30Really?
27:32So then where did you go?
27:34I came back to Britain.
27:36Moved to Hastings.
27:38Hastings?
27:40So, so, Dorian was born here, was he?
27:44Yeah.
27:46This country is all he knows.
27:56Well, it's been grand, Sal.
27:57He was practically ready to sign when I left.
27:59Yeah, well, let's just say he was fishing for an incentive package.
28:02What incentive package?
28:04One involving me and his bed.
28:06I see.
28:08I don't know what to say.
28:10Neither did he when I told him to jog on.
28:14This isn't a judgement.
28:16Could you have possibly misconstrued his intentions?
28:19That creep couldn't have been more subtle
28:21if he was wearing a sandwich board with the words
28:23I want to have sex with you in big red letters.
28:27And there was no way to let him down more gently?
28:30Well, he was lucky I didn't chin him.
28:33I'm not going to feel bad for him.
28:35I'm not going to feel bad for what I did.
28:37I'm not suggesting you should.
28:39I know it must have been serious,
28:41given the obvious consequences.
28:44What do you mean, obvious consequences?
28:46The knock-on to the resource centre, of course.
28:49Even with yours and Nick's 20,000, we're still a long way short.
28:53Well, we'll just have to find a new investor.
28:55Well, money bags don't grow on trees.
28:59Just worry we're losing impetus.
29:03Unless...
29:06No, I wouldn't want you to feel a conflict of interest.
29:11No, go on, unless what?
29:14It just suddenly occurred to me
29:16that this might represent a wonderful opportunity for Amy.
29:22You know what? Forget I ever mentioned it.
29:25Unlike the Grants of this world,
29:27I would never want you to do something
29:29you weren't completely comfortable with.
29:32Mm.
29:37I mean, Hastings is what?
29:39300 miles away or something?
29:42Did you never even think about getting in touch?
29:44We weren't together.
29:45Well, I still might have helped.
29:47I didn't need your help. I still don't.
29:50Of course.
29:52I bet you're a great mum.
29:58So...
30:00you and Fiza are married?
30:04Yeah. Yeah, a couple of years now.
30:08I'm glad for you both.
30:10Truly.
30:12Ta.
30:16Well, I have to go now.
30:18I thought you said things weren't safe for you in Romania.
30:22The men who wanted to hurt me are in custody now.
30:25Hopefully they'll stay there.
30:28I'll be back in two weeks.
30:31Well, for how long?
30:32Oh, I don't know that.
30:34I need to come and read a victim impact statement
30:37and wait for the verdict.
30:39And then...?
30:40And then hopefully I'll move back to Romania forever.
30:45Forever?
30:46Well, I miss my country.
30:48I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but...
30:52No, no.
30:53I know you've got to do what you think is best for you and Dorit.
31:00What are you thinking?
31:04I'm thinking he doesn't even know who I am.
31:07Probably never will.
31:13So, um...
31:15Sean's been posting about speed dials.
31:19Ah, well, um...
31:21Judging by your expression,
31:24I guess it's not a five-star review.
31:26Apparently we're deluded do-gooders.
31:29Just ignore it.
31:31Easier said than done.
31:33There's always going to be trolls.
31:35Except Sean is not a troll.
31:37He's a friend.
31:38Or should I say he was a friend, just like Gary and Maria.
31:42Look, if you want to let him go, I understand.
31:46If you want to let him go, I understand.
31:49After all, at the end of the day, it's your call.
31:53Let me ask you this.
31:55Do you see potential in the boy?
31:57Yeah.
31:58Yeah, I do.
32:00I've met plenty of lost causes in prison,
32:03and this lad isn't one of them.
32:05And do you honestly believe he can turn his life around?
32:08Touch wood.
32:09With time, patience and a guiding hand, yeah.
32:14Then I trust your instincts.
32:17It might affect the bottom line.
32:19Some things are more important than profit margins.
32:25That woman is lucky Alina didn't press charges.
32:29Or Steve, for that matter.
32:31Well, according to Tim, Steve's took her to the football.
32:34Oh, that's typical.
32:35She drops a proverbial grenade
32:37and then she just brushes it off as if it's nothing to do with her.
32:40God.
32:42I'm quite surprised you're taking it so calmly.
32:47Well, at least I got to speak to Alina.
32:49Right, so we reckon that's a good thing, do we?
32:52And what does she have to say for herself?
32:56Oh, yes.
32:58Just remembered I've probably left me rollers on,
33:01so I'll just make myself scarce.
33:05Is he yours, then?
33:09That's what she reckons.
33:11Is she certain about that?
33:14Yeah, 100%.
33:16Well, I'm sorry.
33:18It must have been hard for you.
33:21My head's still a bit hot all over the place.
33:24Yeah, well, it's a lot to process, isn't it?
33:27Can't have been easy for Alina, either.
33:30Having to unpack all that and then just jump on a plane and go.
33:36I would have understood, you know,
33:38if you wanted to go to the airport with them.
33:42We've not gone to the airport.
33:44Why? Did she miss the flight?
33:46No, Alina's still got to give some kind of victim statement or something,
33:50so she's going to stay in Weatherfield until the trial finishes.
33:54She wants me to get to know Dorian.
34:13I'm just...
34:15I'm confused because I thought she was going back to London.
34:20I'm confused because I thought she was going back to Romania.
34:24Well, yeah, she was, but like I said,
34:27she's now decided to stay till the end of the trial.
34:30And that was her idea?
34:32100%. Honestly.
34:34I mean, I was shocked, too, because she said how homesick she is.
34:37Please tell me you haven't asked Alina to stay here.
34:40Don't be daft. I'm not a complete nutter.
34:44She's going to stay at Debbie's hotel.
34:47Wow. That can't be cheap.
34:49I'm surprised she can afford it.
34:51Well, she can.
34:53I said I'd pay for everything.
34:55You mean WE'D pay for everything?
34:57Look, I know it's not ideal, right, and I know I should have spoken to you...
35:00Except you didn't.
35:02Right, well, look, I can tell her then that, you know, you're not on board...
35:05No way, no way.
35:07I'm not taking the blame for this.
35:09I wouldn't blame you. Not now, maybe, Ty, but...
35:13Give it a month or so.
35:16No.
35:18We'll find a way to make it work.
35:31You took your time.
35:33I came as soon as I could.
35:35How's Frankie?
35:37Yeah, like you care.
35:39OK, enough small talk.
35:41What did Max want?
35:43To be my mate.
35:45You know what I mean. What were you chatting about?
35:47This and that. Now it's special.
35:49Oh, he did ask me who the baby daddy was.
35:54Chill out. I made some up.
35:56And he bought it?
35:58Yeah, he did. You're not the only good liar around here.
36:01Well, nice work.
36:04OK, so why am I here?
36:06Well, me and your son need some things.
36:09That's the list.
36:15I'm here cos you want me to go shopping for you.
36:17Well, I don't want to leave Frankie on his own, so...
36:19You did today.
36:20Well, that was a one-off.
36:22I'm not your lackey.
36:23Right, OK, then, will you sit with Frankie?
36:26Oh, yeah. You can't, can you?
36:28Because that would mean some very awkward questions, wouldn't it?
36:32That sounds to me like blackmail.
36:34That sounds to me like blackmail.
36:37Then think of it as some parenting.
36:41Deal?
36:44Deal.
36:53No, thank you, Debbie. I appreciate it.
36:56Yeah, I owe you one.
36:58Right, cheers, take care, bye.
37:01Just going to do him a deal.
37:03Oh, that's kind of her.
37:04Yeah, only 50 a night.
37:06Only? Wow.
37:07Guess that puts our holiday plans on hold, then.
37:10Look, I'll do extra shifts or more breakdowns or whatever.
37:13I'll make up the difference, I promise.
37:15Yeah, maybe I can get some overtime.
37:17Really? What, you'd do that for Alina?
37:21Ty, I would do that for our family.
37:24Yeah, of course. We should get tea on anyway, shouldn't we?
37:26Aren't you forgetting something?
37:28Like what?
37:29Like Ruby and Hope. What are you going to tell them?
37:33I am Hank Marvin.
37:35I'm so hungry, I could eat a law-flying duck.
37:43What's happened?
37:44You know what we've missed?
37:46Over to you.
37:49You sound so excited about it.
37:51Well, I just want to be part of something that's bigger than me.
37:54You think this senses it?
37:56Well, potentially.
37:57With the right investment, it's just about making it a reality.
38:01Well, if the code exists, then everything's possible.
38:04Sometimes you need a bit more than the code.
38:06How do you mean?
38:07Well, it's all about tangible intention.
38:10Be it volunteering, fundraising, investing.
38:13Some ways, it's the next step.
38:15To what?
38:16Well, to being who you want to be.
38:18It's like a leap into the unknown.
38:20Of course, not everybody's ready for that level of commitment or purpose.
38:23And how do you know when you're ready?
38:26Well, to start with, you have to put your absolute trust in someone,
38:30like I have with Rowan.
38:31I mean, I believe in his vision and he believes in mine.
38:34I trust you, absolutely.
38:36Aw, Amy, that's so sweet.
38:38I mean it.
38:39And I want to be part of something bigger.
38:41Well, you have got potential, Amy.
38:43But you are only at the start of your journey.
38:45A journey's nothing without a destination.
38:47See you tomorrow.
38:48Yeah, see you.
39:01Hiya, it's me.
39:02So, Amy's interested in making an investment.
39:07Well, so interested that she's meeting a financial advisor with me tomorrow.
39:16I can't believe I've got a little brother.
39:18That's so cool.
39:20So are they, like, moving in with us?
39:22No, of course not.
39:23I wouldn't mind if they came to live with us.
39:25Just try it.
39:26Yeah, well, that is never going to happen.
39:27Are we going to meet him, at least?
39:29Definitely.
39:30Oh, you can forget that and you can't make me, either.
39:32Love, no-one is going to make you do anything, OK?
39:35Alina and Dorian are just staying until the trial's over.
39:39Well, that's the plan for the moment, but, you know, things might change.
39:42Things have already changed.
39:44Well, not between us, they've not.
39:45And what happens when you like her and Dorian more than us?
39:48Oh, sweetheart, that's never going to happen.
39:50Again, that is never going to happen.
39:52Oh, well, it did before.
39:54She likes her drama.
39:56Don't worry.
40:00What?
40:02Aye, aye, Britain's most wanted.
40:04Aha.
40:05I thought you were going out with Sal tonight.
40:07Oh, Rosie rang. That was two and a half hours ago.
40:09How was the game?
40:10Dire.
40:11He dodged a bullet.
40:12Our lot running around like headless chickens.
40:14That's really good.
40:15Like our Hope and Ruby on a sugar rush.
40:17They still had a laugh, though.
40:19You went together, then?
40:20Yeah.
40:21You went together, then?
40:22Yeah.
40:23What, even though she pinched your cab and kidnapped a ponter?
40:26Well, it was, er, er, mercy measure.
40:28Yeah.
40:29That's not what you called it earlier.
40:30I think the exact word, she was an absolute...
40:32Right, has anybody got a drink?
40:33Yeah.
40:34I'll have an orange juice, please, love,
40:36and I'll go and pay the water bill.
40:38Yeah, go on.
40:41You two are as thick as thieves, aren't you?
40:43Thief being the operative word.
40:45So what's the SP with Demi?
40:47She up for a round, too, or what?
40:48Oh, sugar, I forgot to text her, didn't I?
40:50Oh, she'll think you ghosted her.
40:52Ah, look, I've still got some news.
40:54Weren't the odds Stevie magic?
40:55Oh, that'll get you staring.
41:01Go on, you're stewing on it, aren't you?
41:03Oh, I'll talk to him about it tomorrow.
41:06You don't have to walk on eggshells.
41:13Am I interrupting something?
41:15Go on, talk to him.
41:16Or I will.
41:17Talk to me about what?
41:20Oh...
41:22Right, look, I don't want to make a big thing of this,
41:26just before, when I told the girls that Alina was staying
41:31till the end of the trial,
41:33you said, yeah, that's the plan at the moment.
41:36Yeah, what about it?
41:37Well, it just seemed strange to me,
41:39because you said that she was missing home.
41:42Right, well, Alina is allowed to change her mind.
41:45And do you want her to change her mind?
41:47Oh, come on, well, I don't know.
41:49I've spent, what, an hour with her and Dorian?
41:51Right, I'll put it another way.
41:53If, you know, going forward,
41:55she asked you to be part of Dorian's life,
41:59what would you say?
42:00Well, I've not even thought that far ahead.
42:02Would you say yes or would you say no?
42:05Fiz, right, you know, you and the girls mean the world to me.
42:08I know, I don't doubt that.
42:10That's not what she's asking you, though, is it?
42:14Yeah.
42:15Hmm.
42:16I thought so.
42:18What? I'm Dorian's dad.
42:20I don't want him growing up not knowing that.
42:22Yeah, that's fair enough, yeah.
42:24Just... I'm going to go to bed.
42:26No.
42:27Night, Evelyn.
42:28Night.
42:32Right, you know what you're doing?
42:35Oh, I'm just trying to do what's right.
42:37Yeah, yeah, well, that's very admirable.
42:39Just as long as you realise, once you go down that path,
42:42once you go down that road, there is no coming back.
42:46Right.
42:47Well, I won't mess this up, I promise you.
42:49Right. Well, I'll hold you to that.
42:52Because it might just be that you, you know,
42:55you gain a son but you've lost your family.
