00:00Oh, how are you getting on with him?
00:08I'm not sure. I think he used to be in the army, down the box with a dog tag.
00:13Really? Why did he leave?
00:16Dunno. And when I mentioned it, he climbed up.
00:20Hey! Like father, like son, eh?
00:23What?
00:24You, er, working for Myra.
00:27That's running the blood. I should get back.
00:30Oh, well, that's a shame. I'm putting some flowers on Dad's grave if you want to join me.
00:36Victoria mentioned that you were in the military?
00:40That's not something I talk about.
00:42I was in myself. Back in the day, engineers.
00:46Took me a while to adjust to civilian life.
00:50Put my roots down.
00:52But a bit of perseverance.
00:55I really do need to get off.
01:13See what you mean? Not the easiest person to get to know.
01:16I've tried to encourage him to stay, but he's clearly decided he's not sticking round.
01:25Fancy a fry-up?
01:26Not in a million years.
01:29Whiskey was a total mistake.
01:31Well, perhaps if you and Marlon hadn't downed the old bottle.
01:34You disappeared off to bed early.
01:36I weren't exactly in a partying mood.
01:38Why not?
01:39Good morning!
01:42Future husband of mine.
01:44Not so loud.
01:45Oh, coffee. Yes, please.
01:48Help yourself, why don't you?
01:50I will.
01:52Take it you had a good night, then.
01:54Well, me and Marlon did.
01:56How was your hen-do?
01:57It was brilliant. I got absolutely bladdered.
01:59I beat our charity and our chas in arm-wrestling.
02:02And then I out-karaoked Kerry.
02:04Jump in, eh?
02:06Wish I could hold my drink like you.
02:08Listen, I'd best get off. I've got a well-busy day.
02:10I just wanted to make sure everything's sorted you're in.
02:13Yeah, absolutely. I've got my suit pressed.
02:16My speech is finished and I've shined my shoes.
02:19I've just got to get my dad to help work out where I've left the rings.
02:22You've lost him?
02:23He's joking.
02:27Who's on your checklist?
02:28Almost. There's just one tiny little task that needs my attention.
02:32What's else?
02:33Oh, I'm not at liberty to say, you know,
02:35but prepare to be amazed by something completely amazing
02:38that will amaze you like you've never been amazed before.
02:41I'm intrigued.
02:42Only the best for my Prince Charming.
02:44I'm going to make you tea.
02:45Paddy, come on. You know I'm a traditionalist.
02:48Next time you see me, I'm going to be walking up the aisle.
02:51Enjoy! You'll have three hours of freedom!
02:56She's full of herself today.
02:58She's marrying a prince, isn't she?
03:00I wonder what the big surprise is.
03:02So do I.
03:03Well, she's big on surprises, isn't she?
03:05That's why I love her.
03:07In my book, I think they're overrated.
03:09I think it's best to tread carefully.
03:16Are you sure this is what you want?
03:18What are you saying that for?
03:19Well, you know, due diligence as father of the groom.
03:25Life hasn't been an easy ride since Chas,
03:28and I don't want you to relapse.
03:31No, I won't.
03:32Me and Mandy are a match made in heaven.
03:38Remarrying Mandy.
03:40It's like going back to where I belong.
03:44Well, in that case, I'm...
03:46I'm very happy for you.
03:50What?
03:51£50?
03:52Don't insult my intelligence.
03:54I want £100 in my bank account by lunchtime,
03:56you snivelling little creep.
03:58No ifs, no buts.
04:01So, it's Trace, have you?
04:03I thought I'd locked the door.
04:04Excuse the mess.
04:06Well...
04:08Well, it's a good job it was me who walked in
04:10and not Brenda or Claudette.
04:13I can't believe he's still doing this.
04:15Trace.
04:16I'm a natural, that's it.
04:18I mean, who knew there were that many rich men out there
04:20eager for a verbal spanking,
04:22and gradually now, yeah,
04:24I'm clearing off all my debts.
04:26Well, that's impressive.
04:28Yeah, and with these last few clients,
04:30I can pay for that tree for Paddy.
04:32Dinner in a five-star restaurant.
04:34Uh, that won't be cheap.
04:36Well, it's worth it.
04:38Okay, fine, but you need to be more careful
04:40with locking that door.
04:41Last thing you want is Bear or Paddy waltzing in.
04:44No, you're right.
04:45Honestly, Trace,
04:46that has been a lifesaver.
04:48Here's to gullible men, eh?
04:55Well, Dad,
04:56you're a dark horse, aren't you?
04:58I've lived...
05:00Oops.
05:02Sorry.
05:04Valerie always gets a bit gobby when I tidy her up.
05:07I'm amazed that thing still works.
05:11I change the batteries every now and then.
05:17Do you really think Dad didn't know about John?
05:20Who knows?
05:22He and Barbara were only together for a short while,
05:25until she realised that farming life was not for her
05:28and went back to her ex.
05:31Well, John reckons his mum sent Dad a letter.
05:35Well, if she did,
05:37I doubt that he got it.
05:38Yeah, me too.
05:40Either way, it doesn't matter,
05:42since John obviously wants nothing to do with us.
05:47He's still around.
05:50Only because Mac wrecked his van.
05:52Yeah.
05:53And he could get work wherever,
05:55Hotton, Leeds even,
05:57until the van was repaired.
06:00But he decided to stay and graft for my rice.
06:03Doesn't that tell you something?
06:05You've seen what he's like.
06:06I mean nothing to him.
06:08Maybe he's struggling with his feelings.
06:11Maybe he needs a gentle nudge.
06:14Don't give up on him yet.
06:28Still no word from the unit.
06:30We'll call them.
06:32I've tried. They said they'd phone back later.
06:34Well, there you go. It's not even lunchtime yet.
06:36We need answers. This could hold up Angel's release.
06:39You don't know that for sure?
06:40No.
06:41Well, that's the point. We don't know anything.
06:42It was bound to happen sooner or later.
06:44You can't lock up a little girl like our Angel
06:47and not expect her to be attacked.
06:49Was that what they said?
06:50Why else would she get involved in a fight?
06:52She could be seriously injured.
06:54They would have told us if she was.
06:55So we just sit here twiddling our thumbs
06:57until they decide to tell us what happened?
06:59What else can we do?
07:01We can go down there and we can demand some answers.
07:04Good idea.
07:06I mean, Bristol's a long way away.
07:08I don't care. She's our daughter.
07:10They can't stop us seeing her.
07:11So going in all guns blazing?
07:13Is that really going to help Angelica?
07:14We need to do something.
07:16I can go.
07:18Without me?
07:19Well, I mean, he is less likely to kick off.
07:23I can be calm and rational.
07:25Not when you're in tiger mum mode.
07:26He's got a point.
07:28I can just ask them kindly and politely what's been going on.
07:33OK, but don't come back without answers.
07:36I won't.
07:40It'll be fine.
07:41Just try not to worry about it, yeah?
07:43How can I not?
07:49Yes!
07:55Okey-dokey, Musker.
07:59Right.
08:02We're closed!
08:03I'm not here for an hiccup.
08:10There!
08:11A lovely surprise.
08:13Right.
08:15I want to know what you're up to.
08:17How do you mean?
08:18You told Paddy that you were rushed off your feet.
08:21Well?
08:23I don't see any customers.
08:25I'm in between appointments.
08:28Not that that's any of your business.
08:30Well, you're marrying my boy tomorrow, so it very much is my business.
08:34He's had his heart broken enough for one lifetime.
08:37So am I, Paddy.
08:39Then why are you selling your services, Madam Diamante Dales?
08:44Sorry, I haven't got a clue what you're on about.
08:46I heard you with my own ears yesterday.
08:50On this.
08:52Demanding money off some bloke.
08:54Oh, and I've seen your web page.
08:57Don't you dare try to deny it.
09:00Honestly, it's completely innocent.
09:04Please, will you let me explain?
09:07Go on, then.
09:13Wow!
09:14What happened to you?
09:16Stroppy cow.
09:19What did you just call me?
09:22You're just in time for lunch.
09:24We're having fish fingers.
09:25Great!
09:27Obviously I can do something more grown up.
09:29It's a nice offer, but I'm only here for a change of clothes.
09:32Well, you're entitled to a lunch break, and it'll only be ten minutes.
09:36Go on, then.
09:38And in the meantime, Harry was wondering...
09:41Don't be shy, you can ask him.
09:43What?
09:44That he wants to play football, and I volunteered, but apparently I'm rubbish.
09:48Obviously, feel free to say no.
09:50Well, I suppose I've got time for a quick kickabout before I get changed.
09:54Yay!
09:55Who do you want to be? England or Brazil?
09:58League United.
09:59You'd better show me what you're made of, yeah?
10:01Yay!
10:03Oi! That's my best jumper!
10:06Thank you for this.
10:08It's no big deal.
10:11I've had a lot of overheads recently.
10:13Well, not so recent.
10:15You know, business has been slow.
10:16I maxed out my credit cards.
10:18The tax office won my back, and now...
10:20Now I've got this honeymoon to pay for that I've just been struggling to make ends meet.
10:24So you decided to sell yourself?
10:26No, it's not like that. I told you.
10:28My business is on its knees, Bear.
10:30I just want to clear my debt.
10:32And is that how Paddy's going to see it?
10:33He doesn't need to know. This is my problem, not his.
10:36You need to be honest with him.
10:37Oh, you don't get it.
10:39No, this is me wiping the slate clean before I make my pledge to Paddy.
10:43I want to be debt-free before I start my new life with him.
10:46Well, why haven't you told Paddy about your financial problems?
10:49Because dingle women don't go groveling to anybody.
10:51No, instead they cavort with strangers behind their back.
10:54What?
10:55It's not cavorting.
10:56It's not cavorting? Why are you listening to me?
10:59This is just a business arrangement, and you've seen my page, Bear.
11:03It's just a bit of light-hearted fun. Nothing more.
11:07If you think this isn't a sex thing, you're deluding yourself.
11:10Do you know nothing about men?
11:11It's not like I'm going to take it any further.
11:13It's morally wrong as far as I'm concerned.
11:15You've got to come clean to Paddy.
11:16But that won't achieve anything.
11:18You can't start your married life with a secret like this hanging over you.
11:21I'm doing this for Paddy.
11:23Me paying for this honeymoon, it's to show him how much I love him.
11:27Fine. If you won't own up, I'll have to do it for you.
11:31Bear!
11:47You can't tell Paddy, right? It's going to break his heart.
11:50Padrino's now, then later.
11:53He can't handle another betrayal.
11:55These last few years have been a struggle for him.
11:58Chas's affair nearly led him into taking his own life,
12:01but you were supposed to be his beacon of light,
12:04the happy ever-after he so richly deserves.
12:06But I am. I love Paddy. Always have, always will.
12:09Then prove it. Be honest with him.
12:12Tell him about the mess you've gotten yourself into
12:14and the so-called business arrangements you've set up to get yourself out of it.
12:17But what if he doesn't understand?
12:19All right, yes, yes, you're right. You're right.
12:21You know, I should. I should have been straight with him right from the start.
12:24But what if he's too late?
12:27Cos it's the eve of our wedding.
12:30It might ruin our big days.
12:33Is that what you want?
12:35Don't you dare paint me as the villain.
12:37OK, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. OK.
12:39But what if I stop? Yeah? I've nearly cleared off all my debts.
12:42I can close down the page, put all this behind me. Paddy doesn't need to know.
12:45Yeah, but I'll know. And how am I supposed to keep that to myself?
12:48Come on, it was a mistake! I'm done with that now!
12:51How can I trust anything you say?
12:56Because Paddy's my everything.
12:59Ben, I've only found true love twice in my life.
13:02And both them times have been with your son.
13:06He's my world. I... I can't lose him.
13:11If you ever break his heart...
13:14That's the last thing I would do.
13:17OK.
13:19I'll keep your sword a little secret.
13:23But I'm doing it for Paddy's sake, not for you.
13:26Close down that page. Right now.
13:28Consider it done.
13:30And I'll be watching you.
13:32And if you go back on your word...
13:34I won't. I promise.
13:36And thank you.
13:41Sorry.
13:47Best ever!
13:49He'd have fish fingers every day if I let him.
13:51So would I, if I'm honest. Thanks.
14:00Well, you're Harry's new best friend.
14:03Only because I let him win.
14:05I'm more a rugby man myself.
14:07My dad played rugby when he was younger.
14:10Really? Yeah. I don't think he was very good, though.
14:14Oh, you don't have to do any of that.
14:16I don't mind pulling my weight.
14:24Here. You burnt this.
14:26No, it's hot. Moira's expecting me back.
14:29Oh, well, tonight, then.
14:31Yeah, we could have a few drinks, watch a film,
14:33have some quality family time.
14:35But we're not family.
14:37Well, you're just kicking a ball around with Harry.
14:40What does that prove?
14:42Look me in the eye and tell me you didn't enjoy yourself.
14:44There you go again, acting like you know me.
14:46Stopping here was a mistake.
14:48John... I don't need this.
14:50I'm not Harry's uncle or your brother.
14:52I'm just someone who's passing through. Why aren't you getting that?
14:58Heard from Uncle Jimmy yet?
15:00No, and he's not answering my calls.
15:02Do you think that's a bad sign?
15:04Well, I mean, it's a long drive.
15:06I'm sure he'll call when he gets here.
15:08On a happier note, I finally heard from Belle.
15:11I can hope tomorrow.
15:13Have you two settled your differences?
15:15I don't know, but we're talking again.
15:17Well, texting, so that's a good sign.
15:19Is it?
15:21Well, I can't get her back until she stops ignoring me.
15:23Yeah, but she's ignoring you for a reason, isn't she?
15:26OK, so I shouldn't have lost my temper,
15:28but I only did because she lied about the miscarriage.
15:30Maybe you and Jimmy could put in a good word for me.
15:33Yeah, you and Belle are way down our list of priorities.
15:36Of course. On the other hand, Angelica's going to be home soon
15:39and I need her room, so if me and Belle can patch things up,
15:42we'll win.
15:48Why are you back so early?
15:50The unit phoned me when I was halfway to Bristol.
15:53And you didn't call me?
15:55I wanted to tell you in person.
15:57Tell me what?
15:59We're not allowed to visit Angel at the moment.
16:02That's not fair.
16:04She's been attacked by some bully.
16:06She hasn't, though.
16:08Well, how do you mean?
16:10Angel started the fight.
16:12She was the bully.
16:17So, do you think Bear will keep his trap shut?
16:20Yeah, as long as I promise to stop it.
16:22Now?
16:24And are you going to?
16:26That's from tomorrow morning.
16:28Page closed.
16:30Well, why not do it right now?
16:33Mandy.
16:35I was just about to delete the page
16:37and then this bloke messaged me asking to book a session.
16:40And you said yes?
16:41Trace, he's offering me 300 quid for a 30-minute video call.
16:44Mandy, you're getting married tomorrow.
16:47Yeah, but this last client will pay for Paddy's treat.
16:50Mandy, honestly, you cannot take this risk now that Bear's found out.
16:54A five-star restaurant in Venice?
16:56It's not worth jeopardising your marriage for.
16:59Tonight should be about you and your mates
17:02necking some drinks and getting giddy about your wedding tomorrow.
17:05Yeah, you're right.
17:07Quit while I'm ahead.
17:08Great.
17:09Right, now let's go crack open that Crosecca.
17:12The girls are bringing the nibs.
17:14Oh, great, listen, you carry on. I'm just going to finish up tidying here.
17:17All right.
17:26Maybe there's been some mistake.
17:28She admitted it to her supervisor.
17:30Apparently she wasn't even remorseful.
17:33Well, if there's anything I can do...
17:35Well, not right now. I'm on call, but in principle.
17:38No, you get off.
17:39Right. I'll keep you posted.
17:41About what?
17:42Oh, he reckons Zimmerbell might be sorting things out.
17:45Really?
17:46I'm not taking anything for granted.
17:54Have the boys got back from football camp?
17:56Not yet.
17:57Good.
17:59I don't want them hearing that their sister's turned into a thug.
18:02Don't call her that.
18:03She beat somebody up.
18:05There has to be a good reason why she did it.
18:07Hitting people, that's not the angel we know and love.
18:10I feared this would happen.
18:12Being locked up, it hardens people.
18:15I'm sure she'll be OK once we get her home.
18:17Maybe.
18:19Or maybe we've lost her for good.
18:23There you go, Padster.
18:25Get your laughing gear in, won't you?
18:27What is it?
18:28That is a peanut-banana Cosmo explosion.
18:31But what's in it?
18:33What isn't?
18:34It's one of Gail's cocktail mash-ups.
18:36Dreamt it up at Mandy's hen party last night.
18:39Proper delish.
18:40Getting him bloodied again the night before his wedding, is that wise?
18:43No, it's purely medicinal.
18:44Hair of the dog.
18:46Put it like that.
18:48You all right, Dad?
18:50I'm fine.
18:51Aw, do you want to tell your face?
18:53I just want what's best for my lad.
18:56Yeah, and so do I.
18:57And tomorrow I'm going to get it.
18:59Mandy Dingle's the love of my life.
19:02No offence.
19:03Don't take him.
19:04Everything turns out good in the end, doesn't it?
19:06Hopefully.
19:07Four divorces.
19:10Remarrying Mandy's like coming home.
19:12We just know each other inside out.
19:14I think I trust her with my life.
19:16Knowing someone and trusting them entails the same thing.
19:19You do realise this is supposed to be a joyous occasion?
19:23All right, I'm sorry.
19:25I'm being overprotective.
19:26You think?
19:29Hang on.
19:31Maybe I'm not.
19:32What do you mean?
19:35Not here.
19:40Hey, how did you get on?
19:43Great!
19:44I owe you big time.
19:46No, no, no, no, no, no.
19:47Don't tell Belle.
19:48I want it to be a surprise.
19:51Yeah, OK.
19:52Thanks.
20:02I can't...
20:04What are we supposed to be looking at?
20:06Yeah, and what's the point?
20:07Why have you booked a session with some random woman?
20:10Are you turning into a pervert?
20:11She's not online.
20:13I made a mistake.
20:14You there?
20:15Oh!
20:17Turn your camera on, you idiot!
20:20You are lucky I've even taken this session.
20:22I've got a million things I should be doing.
20:26You're going to have to pay me, whether you speak to me or not.
20:31Is she playing at?
20:33Charging men hundreds of pounds to be shouted at.
20:37When did you find out?
20:38Yesterday.
20:39Is that who you were talking about yesterday?
20:41And you didn't think to tell Paddy?
20:43Well, she promised me that she'd take the page down.
20:46Well, I could tell she were lying.
20:48I mean, there might be an innocent explanation.
20:50Well, apparently she's got debts.
20:52She never mentioned any debts.
20:54Yeah, there's clearly lots of stuff she didn't mention.
20:56I'm sorry, son, but you needed to know the full facts before you walked down the aisle.
21:04Say something, Pad.
21:10Why would she do that?
21:11On the eve of your wedding.
21:15If there still is a wedding.
21:19Is there?
21:21Dunno.
