00:00You're the dad.
00:01You know how much I'm in love with Lucas?
00:02Oh, you love him that much that you waited all of five minutes
00:04until he got sent away to get it on with his sister?
00:06Either you tell Lucas the truth.
00:08All right.
00:09Cleo McQueen, will you marry me?
00:12Hey, are you in there?
00:13Perry Lomax, will you marry me?
00:16Yes!
00:30I'm on the corner of Main Street
00:56Baby, we are getting so much love on my nurse's group chat.
01:18Frankie.
01:19Lucas!
01:21Lucas!
01:25I miss you so much.
01:26Listen, I need to go speak to my dad, but I'll be back, yeah?
01:27No!
01:44Baby James.
01:47Meet your Uncle Lucas.
01:49Hi.
01:53How weird is this?
01:54Leah's gone and now there's a baby here instead.
01:58I've missed you, Dad.
02:00Come here.
02:04Missed you too.
02:06So much.
02:07And I'm so sorry I couldn't visit you.
02:10Dad, you're in a coma.
02:12I was so scared I wouldn't want to see you, so...
02:15You don't get rid of me that easy.
02:18Are you going to be late to your shift?
02:19No, booked the day off.
02:20Thought we could spend it together.
02:22Actually, I have got a client and she gets really touchy if I cancel.
02:25Fine, I'll leave you to the other woman.
02:28To be fair, I should go tell Mum now the news is out.
02:30See you later.
02:32Oh, and Abe.
02:35I love you too.
02:43Hey, there's my favourite nephew.
02:47Come here.
02:49You okay?
02:50Yeah, thank you for asking my Dad for me.
02:53Yeah, we'd be lost without your Auntie Lee.
02:56Killin' it.
02:58And I don't tell her enough how much I appreciate her.
03:02How are you? How's the bump?
03:04Yeah, both are doing really good.
03:07Although I can't wait to be able to see my toes again.
03:09I'm mad at her that they won't see who the Dad is.
03:12Besides, what waste of space wouldn't want to know this one, yeah?
03:15We're better off without him anyway.
03:18Okay, listen.
03:19Are you hungry? Should I go make you some food?
03:21Dad, actually, I was gonna go see Dylan.
03:23But I'm really nervous, to be honest.
03:26Oh, listen, that boy, he adores you.
03:29He was so good to Alia as well while she was pregnant.
03:32He will be buzzing to see you.
03:34Is that right?
03:35Yeah, of course. Go.
03:38Before you do...
03:42I can't imagine how hard the last 12 months have been for you.
03:48Like a nightmare.
03:51But you are ready to put it behind you now, yeah?
03:54I promise.
04:04What? What was the mistake?
04:06Why risk hurting Lucas to tell him the truth?
04:08Yeah, definitely don't tell Lucas that his nephew was a mistake.
04:12You know, I didn't mean it like that.
04:14Lia didn't want anyone to know.
04:16I'd be betraying her too by telling Lucas, you know.
04:19Dylan!
04:21I saw how emotional you were the other day when you held your baby.
04:26Why are you so interested?
04:27Because I care about Lucas.
04:30And you. And I am just trying to be a good mate.
04:35Feels like it.
04:38Look, I know what keeping a secret can do to you.
04:41It can make you hate yourself.
04:43I had to lie to the people I cared about for years about what JJ was doing to me.
04:48Frankie, I'm so sorry that happened to you.
04:51All right? But I love Lucas.
04:53And he was barely behind bars before you were making moves on his sister.
04:56We were drunk. And lonely.
04:59And she was the only other person who knew what I was going through.
05:01Right.
05:02It was one time.
05:04Dylan.
05:11I'm never going to leave you again.
05:20Where have you been?
05:22Looks like you've been gone for hours.
05:24Why didn't you visit me last night?
05:26Hey, take a seat. Come on, you need a rest.
05:30Why was Perry here last night?
05:36Look, I'm going to...
05:39I'm just going to tell you how it is, okay?
05:42But understand that I did this to protect us.
05:44Because it isn't safe for you out there yet.
05:47After you left town, people were asking why I wasn't interested in anyone else.
05:54So I, um...
05:57I went on a date.
05:59With Perry.
06:02Last night?
06:03No. Nine months ago.
06:06It turned out that she was, um...
06:09She was really interested and she wouldn't take no for an answer.
06:12I did this to protect us.
06:14Have you slept with her?
06:17Whenever I try with you, you always push me away.
06:20You just proposed to me.
06:23I mean, I...
06:26You got me a ring.
06:29Where is the ring?
06:32Well, I gave it to Perry.
06:35You gave it to Perry?
06:36As in you... you proposed to Perry?
06:39How else was I meant to explain to her why I had a ring on me?
06:42Again, I had no choice.
06:44I told everyone you'd gone.
06:46Cleo, I'm only doing this for me and you.
06:48I've not even had a chance to say yes.
06:54You said that you love me.
06:56Yes, I do.
07:00But how can I even trust you if you just keep running away from me?
07:05I mean, I'd do everything for you.
07:08And it's always just met with resistance.
07:11And you have to ask yourself,
07:13what exactly is it that you do for me?
07:30And at night, the ghost of a woman stalks the corridors looking for a lost baby.
07:34What, in this old hall somewhere you want to visit a half-term?
07:37Not visit, stay over.
07:38The paranormal activity is off the charts.
07:41Sounds like a job for your mum. Go get your school bag.
07:44Such a wimp, Dad.
07:47Hey.
07:49Look, I want to apologise again.
07:52The thing is, I'm still a bit raw after the end of my marriage
07:56and you being Diane's friend...
07:57It's OK. I feel guilty too.
08:00But...
08:02I mean, we did have some fun, didn't we?
08:05Yeah, we did.
08:08I think I'm starting to hear things.
08:10Oh, yeah? Like what?
08:12Like...
08:14haunted headboard.
08:16Knocking.
08:18Do you fancy coming over to investigate?
08:21Hi, sweetheart.
08:23Hi, sweetheart.
08:25Hi. Dad, can we investigate or should I ask Mum?
08:27No, no, we definitely won't be mentioning this to your mother, all right?
08:31OK.
08:32Hi, Marie.
08:33Hi.
08:38It's just like everything we talked about on the phone.
08:40I can't wait to get all these DJs fully booked up.
08:43I think this will be quite a cool place for people just to hang out.
08:46Yeah, sounds amazing.
08:49MUSIC PLAYS
08:52You know, all those times that you visited and we couldn't even hold hands.
08:57Sorry, I sound pathetic.
08:59No. No, you don't.
09:04I'm not going to lie.
09:06Talking to you on the phone
09:08and counting down the days were the only things that got me through it.
09:14You all right?
09:16What's wrong?
09:18Um, there's... there's something I need to tell you.
09:21Um...
09:23Like what?
09:25Something happened.
09:27Why are you away?
09:29It's fine. Tell me.
09:36I'm so glad you're home.
09:39I'm not stuck in that place, but...
09:47Uh...
09:49I've moved on.
09:53Moved on?
09:56I don't want to be with you anymore.
09:59I'm sorry.
10:01MUSIC CONTINUES
10:16MUSIC STOPS
10:22Say something.
10:24Yeah.
10:26No, it's lovely.
10:28But, Per, I think you've been together, like, five minutes.
10:30I mean, seriously, have you even said I love you yet?
10:32Have you even heard him fart?
10:34Wow. If that's what you think romance is, Joel, you are a lucky guy.
10:36Oi, I heard it twice before Shane got up this morning.
10:39Oi! I meant the love you part, obviously.
10:42Peri.
10:44No offence, but have you any idea what sort of trouble you might be getting yourself into
10:48being with someone like Abe?
10:50He's a twisted psychopath. Is that what you're after?
10:53Marie, look!
10:55Oh! Oh, Darren was right!
10:57He proposed! Yes!
10:59Oh, you knew?
11:01Yeah. I mean, I am such a matchmaker. It's my superpower.
11:04Honestly, I should wear a cape. You should.
11:06OK, right, listen, we've got things to discuss.
11:08We need to talk about wedding venues, table arrangements, colour schemes.
11:12You're free now, if you are. Lee, are you in?
11:14Yeah.
11:15Quite surely I can't be the only one that's lost the plot here. He's an idiot.
11:17Excuse me, this is a happy occasion. What's the matter with you?
11:19Well, he's done a few therapy sessions.
11:21We're just going to forget what he did to Cleo this whole time.
11:23Go on, it's ridiculous.
11:25Mum, please be happy for me. It's what I want.
11:28Yeah.
11:30Yeah, of course I am. Of course I'm happy.
11:37Oi, Dylan.
11:38Lucas, not again, please.
11:40Do you know how hard it was for me to come out to you?
11:42Carter telling me I'd go to hell, I did that for you.
11:44I said I'm sorry.
11:45I know we can work this out because I've read your letters every night.
11:47You telling me how it made you feel the first time that we kissed.
11:50That was you.
11:51No, of course it was me.
11:52You told me to stay out of trouble and I did.
11:54Every night I'd just ignore the punches, the sly digs, the people spitting in my food.
11:58You were the only person I've ever loved.
12:00Please don't leave me. Please.
12:05I meant what I said.
12:07I'm done, I'm sorry.
12:10Lucas, come on.
12:12Oi!
12:13Lucas!
12:14Don't you walk away from me.
12:16Lucas, get off me.
12:17Lads, that's enough.
12:18Lucas, let go of him.
12:19Lucas!
12:21You've only just got out of prison, do you want to go straight back there?
12:24What do you expect of you as a dad?
12:36Do you like Perry?
12:41Well, she, um...
12:43She hangs on my every word, so, you know, I guess that's flattering.
12:48The only reason why I'm doing this is that so people don't get suspicious.
12:54If you felt well enough to be on the outside, maybe things would be different.
13:00Don't you think you've caused me enough grief already, Cleo?
13:04Don't say that.
13:06Lucas, I'm sorry.
13:08I'd do everything for you.
13:10And what do I get in return?
13:12I take care of you, don't I?
13:13Yeah, you do.
13:16You and Perry, it is my fault.
13:19We should be doing the thing that couples in love do.
13:23I just haven't felt ready.
13:25Until now.
13:28Are you sure?
13:29We are engaged.
13:34I'll make you forget Perry.
13:39PHONE RINGS
13:43I thought I said I'd call you if there were any updates.
13:49There you go.
13:51Careful, people might start to think you care.
13:54Consider it a sorry for Lucas.
13:58No thanks.
14:00For helping me, even though I kicked off at you yesterday.
14:05Well, I'll give you one thing.
14:07Being with you is never dull.
14:10I didn't expect you to break up with him.
14:14What choice did I have?
14:17Better to break his heart than to have him hate me and his sister.
14:21Because what if I did tell him the truth?
14:23Baby James would grow up with his own uncle resenting him.
14:27I made Leara a promise.
14:30Frankie, you can't tell him the truth.
14:32I won't.
14:38Er, Dylan.
14:40Are you going to tell us why you and our Lucas are fighting?
14:49Tony.
14:51Well, of all the gin joints in all the world,
14:55fancy meeting you here.
14:57Not the bins behind my pub.
14:59All right, I know it's not exactly the Copacabana.
15:02Casablanca.
15:03What is?
15:04The film you're quoting.
15:05In Casablanca, Rick saves the love of his life from the Nazis,
15:08whereas in Copacabana, Rico shoots and kills the love of Lola's life,
15:12who, funnily enough, is called Tony.
15:15That's hilarious.
15:17Look, I'm sorry.
15:19It's been a difficult time.
15:21I know it's been difficult, OK, but...
15:24marriages fail.
15:26That doesn't mean you've got to spend the rest of your life
15:29punishing yourself and being unhappy, does it?
15:31You're right.
15:34I'm guessing I'm just a bit nervous, too.
15:36I mean, it's been a long time since I've been with anyone that I had.
15:39Tony.
15:41I'm not looking to rush into anything.
15:46But...
15:48..I like you.
15:49And, um...
15:51..you like me.
15:53So, just saying.
15:55I'd be up for it if...
15:58..if you wanted to.
16:00Play it again, Sam?
16:03Who's Sam?
16:04Oh, from Copacabana.
16:06That's Vanka.
16:07You know, the funny thing is, Humphrey Bogart didn't even say that.
16:10Tony, shut up before I shoot you myself.
16:14And that...
16:15..that is why the Nazis were the bad guys.
16:17What point in your history are you, Mum?
16:19Well...
16:21..it's never too late to learn, is it?
16:24Um...
16:25Right, er, yeah.
16:26The girls, they're in the pub and they're having a very nice time,
16:29so do me a favour and be happy for your brother, yeah?
16:32I'll do my best to avoid them, then, shall I?
16:34Yeah.
16:36I'd better get back inside.
16:49Dylan told me what happened.
16:51Nothing you want to say to Rex?
16:53What is wrong with you, Lucas?
16:55That going around punching people, it's not how we deal with things, is it?
16:58How do you deal with things, Dad?
16:59Are you two a little thing now?
17:00I'm helping your dad with the baby and getting around.
17:03That's all.
17:05You know, for what it's worth...
17:08..I know that Dylan's been counting the days till you came home.
17:12You should give him time.
17:14He might just come back around.
17:17Anyway, I'll give you some space.
17:24I'm sorry that I shouted at you.
17:27And I'm...
17:29..sorry about Dylan.
17:31Is this the part where you tell me to give it some time?
17:34Maybe sleep on it as well?
17:36I wish I believed that.
17:40Dad, how am I supposed to go on without him?
17:43Come here.
17:45I know that it hurts, OK?
17:48But having our hearts broken is the risk that we take when we fall for someone.
17:52But I'm telling you now,
17:54when you do meet the right guy,
17:57all the pain that it took to get there will be worth it, I promise.
18:00Dad, I don't want anyone else.
18:02I only want him.
18:07And I'm telling you right now, something's wrong with Dylan.
18:10I'll come and find out what.
18:16Was that better than with Perrie?
18:18She doesn't compare to you.
18:20She's got my ring now.
18:22She's got my ring now.
18:24Yes, cos I had to improvise and come up with a reason
18:26why I had the ring in the first place.
18:28I need to keep her happy so I can keep you safe.
18:33What? You're not going to split up with her?
18:36Theo, it's you that I love, yeah?
18:38I just need to know that I can trust you, that's all.
18:41I'm sorry.
18:43Wait, so you're going to keep stringing Perrie along?
18:47Yeah, until you say you're ready to face the world again.
18:51I guess she's going to want to start making wedding plans soon, though.
18:56And what are you going to do? You're not going to marry her.
19:00All I care about is that you get better
19:03and that we can go away, just us, and start a new life together.
19:08OK.
19:10So you're just going to keep lying until I'm ready?
19:15For you, I'll do anything.
19:21Come on.
19:28Honestly, things couldn't be going better.
19:31You know, he's still pretty raw, but now his kid's back,
19:33that should keep him busy.
19:35And so far, he's accepted everything I've told him.
19:39As far as Steve's concerned, James Nightingale is dead and buried.
19:44So why tell him any different?
19:50I don't know.
20:20I don't know.
