00:00🎵
00:29Oi!
00:30What?
00:31What are you doing getting dressed?
00:32No, I've got...I've got to go.
00:34It's lunchtime. Kim's gonna kill me. She's been running the salon.
00:37All on her own, all morning.
00:40Hmm.
00:41I thought we could have a little talk.
00:43Hmm?
00:44Well, I've got...
00:45...twelve missed calls, eight...oh!
00:48...uh, eight missed texts.
00:51Even by Kim's standards, that is a lot.
00:53Fair enough.
00:54Hmm.
00:55How about a bit later?
00:56Erm...
00:58...eh, yeah, that sounds good.
01:05I'm gonna be so late.
01:07Well, I can drop you if you want.
01:08No, it's...I'm just better off.
01:10Are you scared your little schoolmates might see me?
01:12No.
01:14It's just that I told Lily that I'd walk back with her.
01:17Hmm.
01:17So...
01:19Come here.
01:27Okay.
01:30What's wrong?
01:32I've got...I've got to go.
01:35How long are you gonna make me wait for?
01:38I told you, I'm gonna be late.
01:40Yeah, but we've been seeing each other for weeks, like...
01:42...I splashed out on dinner and everything.
01:45I...I know that. I'm sorry.
01:47I just...
01:48I thought you were different to the other girls.
01:51More mature.
01:54I've got to go.
01:56Hold on!
01:57Avani!
02:00Then, afterwards, come on you...
02:03...we'll get some burgers for dinner.
02:05Yeah?
02:05Let me do your coat, I've done it.
02:07Well, how would I mind going to the zoo and having a few burgers myself?
02:11What's all this?
02:12We are having a special day.
02:15Penny's given me a second chance by not going to the police and I just...
02:18...want to make the most of it.
02:19Right. Well, you make sure...
02:21...you spoil that little man, yeah?
02:23And you say, thank you, Nanny.
02:25Oh, good boy!
02:26Shall we go see the giraffes?
02:28Yeah?
02:28Yeah!
02:29Come on then, we'll see you later.
02:31Bye-bye, bubba.
02:31Bye!
02:32Don't touch them!
02:33They smell.
02:35Ia?
02:36Yeah?
02:36I hope she realises how much Penny's put on the line so that she doesn't get banged up.
02:41Yeah, I can't understand why she would do such a thing.
02:43Yeah, well, that'd be down to Jack.
02:46Oh!
02:46And, um, you not coming home last night, was that your way of saying, um...
02:50...thank you to him?
02:51I need more coffee.
02:52Mm.
02:53It's what you say, you're giving him a second chance.
02:55Have you not pressed send on their divorce application yet?
02:58What? You, what?
02:59Oh, I'm on a lunch break, you see.
03:00Mm.
03:01Because I've been juggling all these customers while you've been getting...
03:03You better get on then.
03:05You're late already.
03:14Right, so what's all this in aid of then?
03:17Could I not just buy my cousin lunch?
03:19Uh, I thought you were skin.
03:21Right.
03:22Just...
03:23...just wanna talk.
03:24Talk?
03:26Well, you kind of freaked me out...
03:28...last night. You know what you said about your dad?
03:30You were gonna ruin him.
03:31Oh, May.
03:32What? Don't.
03:33You've got to admit, it don't sound good, does it?
03:35I was angry.
03:37I'm still angry.
03:39It's just gonna take me some time to get over it.
03:41Okay?
03:43I'm not gonna do anything stupid, am I?
03:46Oh.
03:47Yeah, okay.
03:51Five minutes from now, he'll be sparked out from a sugar crash.
03:55Says the man who fell asleep next to him on the sofa last night.
04:00Yeah.
04:01In my condition, it's a minor miracle if I make it through the day, so...
04:05...I made no apology for napping with this one.
04:08Had he seen you like this?
04:10Like what?
04:11Well, maternal, I suppose.
04:14Maternal?
04:16This woman raised four kids...
04:17...by herself.
04:18Yeah, I know.
04:20Whilst also running a family business.
04:22Sookie is the very definition of a tiger mum.
04:26Yeah, Nish, I was just joking.
04:28I know Sookie loves children.
04:29Yeah, sometimes, and I include my own in that.
04:33Tell me about it.
04:33It's just that this little one makes it look so easy, don't you, bud?
04:36Eh?
04:37That's not...
04:38You all right?
04:42Excuse me.
04:42Urgh!
04:49Strange, though, seeing you two pound happy families.
04:51Oh, I'm not doing it for him.
04:52I'm doing it for the grandkids, Kathy.
04:55You know, the way things are with Habiba, this might be my only chance to spend some time with Ty.
05:00I reckon Nish thinks he's got his feet back under your table.
05:06Sookie, after everything he's done, are you sure you can trust him?
05:09He's nothing to worry about, Kathy. He can barely walk.
05:12Are you sure?
05:13There's nothing more dangerous than a wounded animal.
05:19I don't know why you don't start telling me what's going on with you and Jack.
05:21I mean, we tell each other everything, don't we?
05:22I don't tell you nothing.
05:25What?
05:25To have it all round the square.
05:27You do know that people call you Fox News.
05:29Oh, that's harsh.
05:30Fair.
05:32Wow.
05:33Vinice?
05:34Oh, hello, dear.
05:36I just, um, I wanted to check you were okay.
05:39Oh, I think she's okay.
05:41Yeah, there's more than okay.
05:43What you did for Chelsea, I did it for Jordan.
05:46Well, she owes you.
05:48We all do.
05:48And if there's anything at all I can do for you, you know...
05:51Yeah, anything.
05:52Yeah?
05:53Hair, nails, coffees, anything you want, half price.
05:57Okay?
05:57Just for you.
05:58Yeah, obviously not the coffee, because I can just make the coffee for free, you know?
06:01I mean, I've just made you a coffee.
06:02I've got a coffee.
06:02You want a coffee?
06:03You want a coffee or tea?
06:05Um...
06:08So, you and Dad...
06:11You're back together more?
06:14Um...
06:16Well, everything's kind of up in the air.
06:20A lot's gone on.
06:21Yeah.
06:22Yeah.
06:23None of my business.
06:24Hmm.
06:25As long as you're happy.
06:26Personally, I wouldn't be able to do it, but...
06:29What do you mean?
06:32Him and Stacey.
06:33All the lying and running about behind your back.
06:37What that did to you, to our whole family, I just...
06:40I just don't want us to go through all that trauma again.
06:43You didn't deserve it.
06:44And Ricky and Amy certainly don't.
06:47He's got this image, hasn't he?
06:48Jack Brunning.
06:49Man of steel.
06:51But everything he touches ends up broken.
06:54But we all go running back for more, don't we?
06:57If it was me, I'd have submitted those divorce papers a long time ago.
07:04Penny.
07:06Darling.
07:08I know what you're trying to do.
07:09I really do.
07:11You're trying to hurt your dad, but it's not gonna work.
07:14Because me and Jack, whatever our future is, that's up to us.
07:20Not you.
07:22Or anyone else.
07:24All right?
07:25Speaking of which, I'm meant to be meeting him down the Vic later.
07:30You'll be all right here by yourself.
07:32Oh, well, actually, I've got...
07:37I've got no choice.
07:39Coffee, tea, tea, coffee.
07:47Left you on read, has he?
07:49Young Sheldon stood you up.
07:51That's tragic.
07:51Shut up, Amy.
07:53Boring.
07:55Look, I'm sorry about yesterday.
07:57I wasn't trying to, like, take a nick or anything.
07:59I just didn't mean to wind you up.
08:02Will you be all right?
08:03Of course.
08:05Lily, can I ask you something?
08:08Can you promise me I don't go no further?
08:10Of course.
08:13So, you know when you and Ricky, like, did it?
08:18What was it like?
08:19Oh, Varney.
08:20Did it hurt?
08:22Where is this coming from?
08:24This bloke you're seeing, he's not like...
08:25You're not gonna...
08:26No, I was just asking.
08:29You know I only have five minutes.
08:30Lily, I'm literally in there.
08:32Look, me and Ricky did it once, and look what happened.
08:39Yeah, right.
08:40I was just chatting anyway, so I ain't stupid.
08:44I mean it.
08:45Yeah, of course.
08:55Like you lost a penny and found a pound.
08:57Yeah, well, things are looking up.
09:00Oh, and me and the mates.
09:04Well, I'm happy for you.
09:05I meant what I said about us being mates.
09:07Yeah, I'd like that.
09:09Yeah, we've got to stick together anyway, ain't we?
09:11Safety of numbers and all that.
09:13Looks like our granddaughter is getting the terrible twos early.
09:16Do you really think we stand a chance against her?
09:18Well, at least we'll go down fighting.
09:21Mates, yeah?
09:22Yeah, mates.
09:31Alright?
09:32How you feeling after yesterday?
09:33Have you got a minute?
09:34Are you always?
09:36Let me munch this and I'll buy you a pint.
09:37No, can we go somewhere?
09:40Even better.
09:41I've got a proposition for you.
09:45I'm sorry that I missed your calls earlier.
09:47My phone's been on silent.
09:49Can you just text me when you get this, please?
09:50I feel like we should talk.
09:52I know...
09:53But just text me, yeah?
09:55Barney!
09:59Are you alright after yesterday?
10:00You know I was only having a laugh.
10:02I'm used to it.
10:03Oh, thank you.
10:05Barney boy.
10:07What are you two up to, eh?
10:09Nothing.
10:10Just chatting.
10:11Nothing.
10:12Have you ever played Elfhammer of Ireland?
10:15Have I what?
10:15Or...
10:16Hammer of Wizards.
10:17Am I getting the name right?
10:19Thunder Mallet.
10:20That's the one.
10:20It's Barney's new video game.
10:22It's all problem solving and strategy.
10:25Barney is brilliant.
10:26I can't even get past level one.
10:29Tell you what.
10:30Why don't you come out, have a go?
10:33Have you got the time?
10:33No, Barney wouldn't be interested in that.
10:35Well, how do you know?
10:36Have you asked Barney?
10:39Just, please.
10:40No, I'll come.
10:42What?
10:44Why not?
10:45Fantastic.
10:46Well, I'll get the chips and dips in and Barney can show you his Thunder Mallet.
10:59Tommy!
11:01How's your mum?
11:02Is she still feeling ill?
11:03Yeah, she's still bad.
11:05I'm stirring clear.
11:07Will you get her to give me a ring?
11:08Yeah, anything she needs, you just let us know, yeah?
11:12Maybe I should make her my broccoli and cauliflower bake.
11:16Are you trying to finish her off?
11:17No.
11:18Don't.
11:19Whatever she ate...
11:21...it's going through her.
11:22Ate?
11:25I'm stirring clear, yeah, and...
11:27...you should too.
11:28Well...
11:29...if you need anything, just give us a ring.
11:32Hi.
11:34Hi.
11:35Shift.
11:36Those chairs are customers only.
11:38You ain't exactly mobbed, are you?
11:40Move.
11:41Maybe.
11:43Do you want me to call Ravi?
11:45What sort of mum lets her kid's lawyer around the street anyway?
11:48Hey, you've got home to go to.
11:49You can talk.
11:51What are you talking about?
11:52Of Arnie.
11:53Chatting nonsense about how she's going to put up for an older guy.
11:56Classy.
11:58See where she gets it from.
12:00What did you say?
12:02Babe.
12:04Er, your dad.
12:05What are you on about?
12:06I want him to feel every inch of pain he's caused me.
12:09Whoa, whoa, whoa.
12:10Hold up, hold up.
12:11I want him to lose everything.
12:13Where do I fit into this?
12:15I did him a favour.
12:17Yeah, huge.
12:18Something he wouldn't want the world and its wife knowing about.
12:21And?
12:23Do I have to draw you a map?
12:25Right.
12:25You let him know...
12:27...that you know...
12:28...what I did.
12:30Use it...
12:31...as leverage.
12:33Yeah, he's already got your cards marked.
12:36This will be a way to get him to back off.
12:39What do you get out of it?
12:40Ten percent.
12:42Of what?
12:43Of whatever moody dealings you've got going on here.
12:47I don't see how it ruins his life.
12:50Right.
12:51Once he gets caught up in it all...
12:52...it's not going to be hard...
12:54...to make him do more and more.
12:56Make him go deeper and deeper.
12:59Then we'll drop him in it.
13:00Yeah, make him lose it all.
13:02His job.
13:03Swaggering around like everyone loves him.
13:05On eggshells, everyone afraid of him.
13:07Jack Branning, Mr. Supercop, all of it.
13:09Gone.
13:11He could go to jail.
13:12Yeah.
13:13I know.
13:14Oh, what, you're telling me that...
13:15...you couldn't benefit from a copper in your back pocket?
13:18Nah.
13:19Sorry?
13:20He would never fall for it.
13:21I don't see it happening.
13:22Am I speaking well?
13:23She's literally there for the taking.
13:24Look.
13:25Look, there is nothing...
13:26...nothing more than I'd like there to put some proper hurt on the old Bill, yeah?
13:30Filth.
13:31All of it.
13:33But this ain't how you do it.
13:34I thought you had more repair on you than that.
13:39I've got to go.
13:40I'm fixing my mate's motor in the square.
13:42It does everything.
13:43Yeah, go on, little boy.
13:43Go play with your car then.
13:47Thanks for coming round.
13:48I know it's probably not your thing.
13:49No, I had fun.
13:51Where did I get to again?
13:52A second-level slug maiden to the mud witch.
13:55Hey, yes, mate.
13:57I mean, you are a slug maiden.
13:59Oh.
13:59But your boss is a mud witch.
14:01Right.
14:02Well, that actually means I have to come round to get permission then, innit?
14:04Barney!
14:06Tell me I'm hearing things.
14:07What?
14:08You're planning on sleeping with some older boy.
14:09Are you mad?
14:10Who is it?
14:11Name and address.
14:12Mum!
14:12Now!
14:13Can you just...
14:14...give me your phone.
14:15What?
14:15No.
14:16Hand it over.
14:16You ain't having my phone.
14:17Alright then, we'll call your dad.
14:18No way.
14:19Give me your phone then.
14:20I ain't seeing no older guy.
14:21So what's Tommy talking about?
14:22Tommy, I...
14:25I...
14:26I only said that because I didn't want anyone...
14:29...to know that...
14:30...it's Barney.
14:32I'm...
14:33I'm seeing Barney.
14:38Look, tell her.
14:40Finally!
14:42End to all the lies.
14:45Yeah, alright.
14:47I'll see you later.
14:50Barney!
14:53I'm...
14:54I'm gonna go inside now.
14:58Alright.
15:00What we got of the Vic?
15:01Huh?
15:02I mean, what made you change your mind?
15:04I just wanted a little bit of privacy.
15:06You know, just the two of us.
15:08I've got no complaints.
15:09Yeah.
15:09Hmm.
15:13And I wanna talk about Stacey.
15:16Stacey?
15:17Hmm.
15:19Why?
15:19Because we never have, have we?
15:21Not properly.
15:24Denise.
15:24If we're gonna move forward, you know, make a go of this, then...
15:29I'm gonna need to know.
15:32I need to know...
15:34...what really happened between the two of you.
15:41Thanks.
15:53Barney missing you already?
15:58Look, I'm not here for a fight, alright?
16:01He's literally screaming my business all over the square.
16:04What do you expect?
16:05Tommy told me that you...
16:06Yeah, well, what you doing listening to him for?
16:08Tommy?
16:10You didn't even think to ask me before you started going off on one.
16:13Well...
16:14...maybe that's what we can do now.
16:17So...
16:19...you and Barney?
16:21What?
16:22He's nice?
16:23No, no.
16:24Of course. I mean...
16:25...he's lovely.
16:27Bit weird.
16:28But, um...
16:29...that could be attractive.
16:30Yes?
16:30That could be your future son-in-law you're talking about.
16:33You haven't...
16:35What? With Barney? No!
16:36Oh, with anyone?
16:36Not with anyone!
16:37Good!
16:38Yeah.
16:40Don't wanna be having this weird conversation with you anyway.
16:46Listen.
16:49It's natural.
16:51It's normal and it's healthy.
16:53And God knows when I was your age, I used to fall asleep dreaming about Richie Neville.
16:57Who?
16:58He was in Five.
17:00He was in Five for what?
17:04Don't worry about it.
17:06Look, the point is...
17:07...I get it.
17:09It's frustrating and you think everyone else is doing it but you.
17:14How old were you then?
17:15Uh...
17:16...you're not talking about me.
17:17See, I knew it. It's just one of these conversations where you just talk, talk, talk...
17:20...and I have to sit and listen. No thanks.
17:23I wish I'd been older.
17:24Yeah?
17:26And I wish I'd waited. I am looking at you in the eye...
17:29...and I am telling you I wish I had.
17:32So what? The love of your life?
17:35No.
17:36Just someone nicer.
17:39Someone who I properly liked.
17:41I was hanging about with this bloke.
17:43Part of our group of mates. Handsome but...
17:46...boring as.
17:48It was obvious what he wanted from me.
17:52He didn't?
17:53No.
17:55Nothing like that.
17:56I was just...
17:59...I was scared if I didn't, he'd dump me.
18:03And?
18:05He dumped me anyway.
18:07Got what he wanted and then moved on.
18:10He's fat, bald and divorced now.
18:15Look...
18:16...the first time...
18:18...it doesn't have to be the love of your life but...
18:21...it should be with someone...
18:22...who you have fun with.
18:24Someone who you know likes you back.
18:27Someone who makes you laugh.
18:30And look, I'm telling you baby, you're just too young for all of this.
18:35All you've got to do is wait a few more years and then it is in your life forever.
18:39And I promise you...
18:41...you're gonna wish you had this time back.
18:44And look...
18:46...Barney's as nice as you say he is.
18:48I'm sure he'll wait, yeah?
18:51Yeah.
18:52Thanks, Mum.
18:55I love you.
18:56I love you too.
19:02Oh my...
19:04You know Sulkin ain't talking.
19:06Do we really have to do this now?
19:08Okay, when then?
19:10Haven't I demonstrated to you lately how much you mean to me?
19:14You know...
19:15...jeopardising the relationship with my daughter to keep your one out of jail.
19:18Do you know, if we're gonna be together, living on the same square as your mistress...
19:22...having her in my face every day, then there's gonna need to be no more secrets.
19:25Otherwise, you know, it's gonna keep churning round in my head.
19:28There are no secrets.
19:29You're driving me mad.
19:30You ain't listening, are ya?
19:36And I can't go there.
19:38I won't.
19:42What do you want to know?
19:43Everything!
19:46Right, so when did you first kiss, if you even remember?
19:50And, sorry, what was the sex like?
19:52Was it good?
19:53Better than us?
19:54Worth it?
19:55Just stop.
19:56Well, did you even think about me once when you was covering it up?
19:58Do you know what? Please!
19:59How did you keep it hidden for so long?
20:00Come on, because I want to know all your little tricks.
20:04And that's the thing, innit?
20:05Secrets.
20:06They're always driving us apart.
20:09Aren't they?
20:10Every time.
20:11Stacey, the crush at Pickett's.
20:13I can't have it.
20:15I don't want no more secrets, Jack.
20:16None.
20:18Alright?
20:19Alright.
20:26Business is booming.
20:27Mm, Moe got Teddy to pay cash.
20:29Two-week trial.
20:31Mind you, once he's seen what we can do, there'll be no looking back.
20:33We should celebrate.
20:35I don't really feel like it tonight.
20:37Oh, come on.
20:38Not even a couple in the Vic.
20:39I'm proud of you.
20:41Or something a bit more fancy.
20:43We could go to the all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet on the high street that we like.
20:48It's only another cleaning job, Harvey.
20:50And we can't afford it anyway, can we?
20:54Okay, well.
20:56I'll get out of your way.
21:09I'll prove to you, over and over again, how much I love you.
21:15Chelsea and Penny.
21:18Keanu.
21:23Anyway.
21:26You ain't exactly blame this in all this, are you?
21:31Crack started forming way before me and Stacey.
21:35It was you and Raffy, wasn't it?
21:38Yeah.
21:39Well, are we just gonna forget all that, are we?
21:43What, so you can just paint me as the bad guy?
21:45Is that what we're doing?
21:48No.
21:56I get that you're angry.
21:58You know, what happened with Charlie, the line about Maya, all of it.
22:01But I don't want to be a constant reminder of that.
22:03Yeah, I know.
22:03So, if you don't want us to be, well, us anymore, then I respect that.
22:08I do.
22:10Want us to be us.
22:13It's all I want.
22:19Well, then, why are you...
22:21I understand that you were lying to save my feelings,
22:24but I can't tolerate lying, however good the intention.
22:27It just drives people apart, Harvey.
22:31So, all I want from you is honesty.
22:35For all our sakes.
22:35That's what you'll get.
22:37I promise.
22:40I'm here for you, for all of you.
22:45You lot are my world.
22:49To varying degrees.
22:58Seriously.
23:00You know, Stacey and the kids, and Kat and Tommy.
23:05You're very good with him, aren't you?
23:08He's a good kid.
23:09Yeah, he hides it well, I think, sometimes.
23:14What did you think to what he said earlier?
23:17What do you mean?
23:18Well, he made out that Kat had got some stomach upset or something.
23:21She told us she had Covid.
23:23Yeah.
23:24Maybe she didn't want him to worry.
23:29What?
23:30When was the last time you saw Kat?
23:32She's sick.
23:34The last thing I want to do when I'm laid up is see people.
23:38She'll be out and about again, you know, as soon as she's up to it.
23:40Yeah.
23:47Yeah, of course they're missing you.
23:49So, how's the course going?
23:51You paying attention?
23:53Or you're tearing it up round Birmingham every night, eh?
23:56Just don't come back with the accent, please.
24:01I'm just tired, Alfie.
24:02You know how it is.
24:04It's all good.
24:11Yeah, yeah, everything's fine.
24:18Oh, so, that's it then?
24:20Well, what else is there to say?
24:21It sounds like you think there's a lot.
24:23What is that supposed to mean?
24:24I don't know, it just, it sounds like you think that I'm the one that's supposed to be apologising.
24:28Yeah, well, maybe you should have.
24:30Because I'm the one who put my career on the line.
24:32Risked my own relationship with my daughter and what?
24:34You drag up ancient history.
24:37Do you know what I think?
24:39I reckon you're just using me, ain't you?
24:42To get what you want, Chelsea off the hook.
24:43And now it's done.
24:44See you later, Jack.
24:46Go on, go and collect your mug of the year trophy on the way out.
24:50You know, I'm glad we did this now, before we made the mistake of getting back together.
24:56Actually, it's fine.
24:56I don't need to know the dirty little secrets about you and Stacey.
25:02I see you.
25:04Yeah, I see you for who you are.
25:07So...
25:09Divorce application.
25:13I'm submitting mine.
25:15I suggest you do the same.
25:16Put us both out of misery.
25:30Oi! Watch where you're going!
25:32Are you deaf or not?
25:37Hey, watch your mouth.
25:38Mate, you're an embarrassment.
25:40Big man Brannan.
25:42You are nothing, yeah?
25:44You couldn't even protect your own daughter.
25:45You stay away from Penny.
25:46What are you gonna do?
25:47You gonna put me in a wheelchair and all?
26:07Right.
26:08Popcorn, sweets, chocolate, wine.
26:11You sure you don't want anything?
26:12Thanks, Mum.
26:14It's just a bit popcorn.
26:15You know what I mean.
26:17Yeah, well, thanks for being honest with me.
26:20Finally.
26:22Yeah.
26:23Mum, can you promise that you won't tell Dad about Barney?
26:26Just...
26:27I know what he's like and I want to be able to tell him in my own time.
26:31Deal.
26:32Just remember, trust goes both ways, yeah?
26:37What's this all in aid of?
26:38Girls' movie night.
26:39How many movies you watching?
26:41Just ring it up, you know.
26:43Family discount as well, yeah?
26:49I get it, we're done.
26:50Delete my number if you're gonna be so frigid.
26:56Polo boy!
26:57Coming!
27:03Have fun.
27:04Thanks.
27:07Got your text.
27:08Look, can you make it quick?
27:09I've not got time to be messed about.
27:12What happened?
27:13I changed my mind.
27:15I'm in.
27:1650 quid just got me footage of your old man smacking me about.
27:20I'm alright, by the way.
27:21Thanks for asking.
27:22For real?
27:29What are you gonna do?
27:30You gonna put me in a wheelchair or not?
27:32You gonna put me in a wheelchair or not?
27:38I think you could call that leverage.
28:02I think you could call that leverage.
