00:17Music
00:24Oh, my God.
00:54I've rung Gina, told her we're not going to open the bar today, not till we know Harry's all right.
01:09I'm sure he's fine. He's probably stayed at a mate's or a hotel or something.
01:15You need to pack your stuff and go.
01:17No. We need to talk.
01:19Oh, we are done talking. You need to go today, and I ain't asking.
01:24Look at me, Teddy. Look at me.
01:31Do I look like a cold-blooded murderer to you?
01:35It was an accident. I mean, it could have gone either way.
01:38It could be her standing here right now instead of me.
01:40You killed her. Cold or boiling blood. You killed her, Nick.
01:44I can't even look at you anymore. Just go. Now.
01:52No. You can call the old Bill if you want.
01:57He is my son.
01:59And if you really think he needs his heart broken again and needs to know the truth,
02:04then he's going to hear it from me.
02:13You see, this is why I hate doing things online. I should have baked it myself.
02:17Maybe they thought it was 70s pain.
02:18Oh, fine.
02:20Well, I tried ringing it, but of course, you know, it's been a bank holiday, innit?
02:24Honestly, it's fine. I really like it.
02:26As long as all the family are there celebrating together, that is all that matters.
02:29Isn't that right, Peter?
02:31Yeah. Yeah, of course. We really appreciate it. Thank you.
02:33Oh, no.
02:34What's this?
02:35Well, I think the French call it champagne, Ian.
02:37And if we're going to toast my grandson's bride-to-be, a new baby, then, well, I'd try it first, didn't I?
02:44Yeah, but this is expensive stuff. We can't afford to hand this out by the gallon.
02:48How I gave birth to a son so tight he only cries out of one eye is beyond me.
02:51I am not being tight, OK?
02:53But I am not overindulging the nightmare side of the family, which we are only related to
02:57because his mum likes a double life and a bunk-up.
03:00Elaine gets a whiff of this, she will bankrupt us.
03:02Ian, they are family.
03:04And nothing brings family together better than a wedding and a new baby.
03:08So today, we come together, all right?
03:12Oh.
03:15Yes, Felix.
03:16Those balloons up yet?
03:19Oh, what?
03:21Final birth plan with the midwife today.
03:24You excited?
03:25Yeah, of course.
03:28Er, work thing.
03:32Yeah.
03:33Yeah, yeah, OK.
03:34The electorate's have gone down at the hour, but I'll have to go and sort it.
03:38But don't worry, there will still be a ball, Cinderella.
03:47Sorry, we ain't open yet.
03:49Oh.
03:50All right?
03:53I know, Zach.
03:56Sharon's told me everything, and this morning she's sent me this.
03:59She wants me to show you, so you don't do anything stupid.
04:02All right.
04:03I know this changes everything, and I know you're going to want to go and see Nicola,
04:10but Sharon says to keep calm and let it play out.
04:15You promise me you'll do that?
04:17I know it's a lot to take in, but promise me, yeah?
04:23Can you leave me alone, please?
04:25Zach.
04:26You all right, mate?
04:33I've been better, Bill.
04:49Yeah.
04:49Yeah.
04:50Honey told me that she saw a story pop up about...
04:54I just wanted a check on you, you know?
05:03Harry.
05:05Listen, why don't you come back to ours, eh?
05:08You jump in the shower, and I'll take you for some breakfast.
05:11Come on, won't you, Harry?
05:18You know what?
05:19I am so proud that the builder's bum-crack culture is still up and running, even on a double bubble bank holiday.
05:26I just want to go home.
05:28Me too.
05:29But they were making good progress inside last time we checked, and I know that you wanted to bling up a bit what the pump is like, what the pump is like.
05:36Who are we to change it, eh?
05:37You're absolutely right, darling.
05:39Yeah, I agree.
05:40Now, remember, engagement party, best behaviour, which means...
05:44No antagonising or assaulting you.
05:47Very good.
05:47Yeah.
05:48I feel a lot calmer if I'm in with it, if you're lying.
05:50Oh, did you make up light all right?
05:51Yeah, yeah, but, um, mate, it was pretty broke up.
05:54Mum's so young.
05:54Let me know if you're seeing, yeah?
05:57Tell you, boy, any news on the final checks on this place, eh?
06:00Yeah, final few tonight, and you can have the keys tomorrow.
06:03What?
06:04You are joking, kid, idiot!
06:08We're going home, darling!
06:09Oh, poor bird, you've got your local back!
06:12Woo-hoo!
06:13Oi, turn it down, will you?
06:16People might not want to dance on Martin's grave, Josh, yet.
06:28Have you not got something more productive you can do to sit around on that thing all day?
06:31Not really, no.
06:33There she is.
06:35Now, I know we're out job hunting today, but I wasn't expecting you out that early.
06:38Early bird catches the worm, right?
06:41Who was that?
06:42Where are you going?
06:42To my ring.
06:43I make a phone call.
06:44Do something productive.
06:46Give him a break.
06:48He's just a young kid having fun.
06:50Look, he's my son, all right?
06:51I know what's best for him, so let me worry about him and you worry about paying your sister back, all right?
06:56I'd better go and find myself a job, then.
06:58At least I know where I stand.
07:02Pressure's rubbish on that shower, isn't it?
07:05It'd be better off having a wash down in the sink.
07:07No, cheers, Bill.
07:08I really appreciate it.
07:11Listen, I don't want to, like, make myself busy, but it's obvious you didn't go home last night.
07:21I just wondered whether you needed to talk.
07:23There's nothing to talk about.
07:26Life ain't fair, is it?
07:27Otherwise she'd still be alive.
07:28She didn't get on with my mum and dad, so we had words and I walked out, for good.
07:40Shh.
07:44I'm sorry, H, but, uh, it's too short to fall out with your family.
07:50Take it from someone who knows, eh?
07:54Well, um, I'll leave you to...
07:56I just thought it was a real kick up the back side.
08:13And I know Harvey's doing this bit, burying the city boys, the races and that,
08:17but we still need to make some money and fast.
08:22Mo, will you stop hiring up the builders?
08:26Right, you're the square schemer.
08:28You must have some ideas.
08:30I've got ideas, all right.
08:32He needs to keep that hard hat on, though.
08:34Look, fat Elvis has got a job like a car cleaner.
08:38I could get the birdseed out and let the pigeons do us a favour.
08:41No, we can't rely on pigeons this time, Mo.
08:43We need money fast.
08:44Oh, get your knickers in a twist, something to crock.
08:46Oh, jean, do you fancy only a couple of quid, cash in hand?
08:51Yeah, of course.
08:52Hold your horses.
08:53What's it for and how much?
08:54Oh, Lauren and Peter's engagement party.
08:56Kathy wants to move it to Harry's barn.
08:57I mean, he'd help serve him drinks and, like, clean up after.
09:00What do you think?
09:00Yes, let's get cracking.
09:01Yeah, great.
09:02What, now?
09:02Yeah, now.
09:03Actually, we could do one more person.
09:05Can you think of a third?
09:06Morning, ladies.
09:07What's on the agenda today, then?
09:09All I'm trying to say is we can work this out.
09:13Your mum, she's gone.
09:16If this was just on mum, I'd pack her bags for her.
09:21But this is on you too, Dad, and you know it.
09:25How could you not tell me as soon as you found out?
09:28There ain't nothing left to say.
09:31I'm done with you.
09:33Do you remember this?
09:35What, you want to walk down memory lane with me now, Dad?
09:38Leave it out.
09:38Do you remember it, yes or no?
09:42Yes.
09:44Sit down, please.
09:50From the moment you were born, I knew you'd be a fighter.
09:55Some kids, you can just see it in their faces.
09:59I had it all planned.
10:02When you were old enough, I was going to take you over to Webton.
10:05ABAs, British title, European, world titled or not.
10:10And I got you this for your third birthday to wear.
10:15Your mum took it off you the day after.
10:18Said you're going to choke on it.
10:20But I still took you to Repton, though.
10:23To you was what?
10:24About nine.
10:25And then they let you spar.
10:29I saw you take a couple of digs.
10:33And you didn't mind.
10:35But I did.
10:38Never took you back.
10:39She was worried about you choking.
10:45And I didn't want to see you get hurt.
10:49And now look what we've done.
10:51Now I'm sorry, H.
10:57More than you know.
11:02Because I'm a fighter, too.
11:04And I will never stop fighting to keep you in my life.
11:09Because you and Barney,
11:12you are my life.
11:14And I will never stop fighting to keep you in my life.
11:44I think we need to talk, don't you?
12:03Sorry again for keeping you.
12:05Baby's heartbeat is strong.
12:07Probably excited for a punch-up.
12:10They're going to their first Bills bash in a minute.
12:12So it should be fun.
12:13We got engaged.
12:14So we're celebrating.
12:16No punch-ups.
12:17I need to take this.
12:19That's all right.
12:22Now, you're happy with the birth plan we've outlined?
12:24Yeah, I'm happy.
12:26We're happy.
12:27And obviously everything looks fine.
12:29But you're aware of the procedures
12:31if baby needs a little help on arrival.
12:32Yeah, baby's born to mums on methadone.
12:36They usually stay in hospital for, like, a week?
12:39Usually, yes.
12:41Cases do vary.
12:42Oh.
12:43So it could be longer?
12:44It depends.
12:45If mum's on a very high dose,
12:47there's more risk of complications.
12:49Obviously, you're following an arc.
12:50So if I'm on a high dose,
12:52and then I go into labour early and the baby comes...
12:55Oh, no, no.
12:55Lauren, as far as I can tell,
12:57everything should be fine.
12:59Should be.
13:01We don't know that for sure, do we?
13:02I mean, for all we know,
13:04the baby will come out addicted.
13:06Sorry, Annan.
13:07Sorry about that.
13:09Um, everything looking good?
13:11All your scans are positive.
13:12You're on a steady dose.
13:13And baby's heartbeat is strong.
13:15And from what I can tell,
13:16you're going to be very able and loving mother and father.
13:20I suggest you go and celebrate.
13:23As a family.
13:25Yeah, thank you very much.
13:27We'll see you soon.
13:35All all right?
13:38Brilliant.
13:39Let's get you ready.
13:41It's party time.
13:45All smoke and mirrors with you, innit?
13:49Everything you do.
13:51Everything you say.
13:55You're just going to sit there, are you?
13:57If Teddy comes home and you're here...
13:58He'll do what?
13:59What, Teddy's going to kill me, is he?
14:02Because he didn't kill that young girl.
14:04The key they arrested did.
14:06Liar.
14:08Length you go to to keep me from my son.
14:11Am I wrong?
14:12I'm wrong.
14:13What, the police have got the wrong bloke?
14:15How about I go to the station, yeah?
14:17Tell them all your silly stories
14:18and just see which one they believe.
14:19And then, guess what?
14:20I'll come back here
14:21when my son is home
14:24and I'll tell him the whole story too.
14:29Teddy didn't kill that girl.
14:30If he could kill a woman, I'd have been dead years ago.
14:37I killed Shireen.
14:40We had an argument.
14:43She fell.
14:44Hit her head on a rock and...
14:47I just stood there.
14:49Watched her bleed out.
14:51The bloke they arrested buried her.
14:54Teddy helped me cover it up.
14:55And do you know what?
14:59I'd do it all again.
15:01Because as I keep telling you,
15:03I will do anything to keep my family together.
15:09You could go to the police
15:10and you could tell Barney the truth too.
15:13But the question is, Zach,
15:16is it worth the risk?
15:20What with your daughter
15:22and your ex
15:23living in that little flat in Wakefield
15:25only three hours away?
15:27What do you reckon?
15:30Now,
15:32get out of my sight.
15:35Oh, this is, er,
15:55tragic.
15:56I mean,
15:57how was they charging you for this?
15:58We could have done it at my place for free.
16:00We're celebrating.
16:01It's hard to toast young love
16:02over pie, mash and liquor, isn't it?
16:04Yeah, I know, but...
16:05I could have saved a fortune.
16:08Congratulations to you both.
16:10Thank you very much.
16:11Anything you need,
16:11you just let me know, yeah?
16:13Oh, right on cue.
16:14Oh, it does.
16:16Well, it's meat or veg...
16:18Veggie selection.
16:19Veggie selection.
16:21Is this a wind-up?
16:23Am I supposed to be shelling out
16:24for senior service service as well?
16:26I mean, do you know what?
16:27I don't want to have a word
16:27with your gran, all right?
16:28Never mind the electrics.
16:29I'm like, this,
16:30this is daylight robbery.
16:31Anyone feel welcome, champers?
16:34You and all?
16:37Have you had half of them already?
16:39Of course not, Bailey, babe.
16:41I'm glass collecting.
16:42Who from?
16:43There's no-one else here.
16:44Guess your son's Mr Popular, then.
16:47Like father, like son.
16:49All right.
16:49Cheers, Mo.
16:50Get rid of the three stooges, please.
16:54And can we have some fruit juice?
16:56Not everyone can partake of alcohol.
17:04Party time.
17:05All right, come on.
17:08Thanks.
17:11You all right?
17:12Yeah.
17:14Um, are you sure your parents
17:16aren't going to be in here later?
17:17Oh, no, trust me.
17:18Once they've had one cocktail,
17:20they'll be out for the night.
17:23You okay?
17:25You're not...
17:26You're not regretting...
17:27Nah.
17:29Nah.
17:29Of course not.
17:30It's...
17:31Slash.
17:31No biggie, is it?
17:32Well, I think it is.
17:38Like, you mean a lot to me.
17:40So...
17:41Are you going to sit down, then, or what?
17:45Come on.
17:47Cool.
17:54Webby, are you busy?
17:56Yeah, rushed off my feet.
17:59Your boyfriend's already been in,
18:01asking for work, but...
18:02We've got nothing at the minute,
18:03so, er...
18:04Sorry.
18:07Although, if he keeps carrying on like this,
18:10you might need a new chef.
18:12He's all over the place.
18:15Will you call me back?
18:17Listen, I'm sorry.
18:18I'll sort you a new place.
18:19Don't worry.
18:21Kiss Dolly from me, yeah?
18:25Zach.
18:27What have you done?
18:27It takes a lot to find the right person to put a ring on.
18:37Well, for some of us, anyway.
18:39Obviously not hard to find a glass of champagne.
18:40What's that?
18:41Three?
18:41Four?
18:41Five?
18:4340% on marriages and a divorce.
18:45Oh.
18:46Might as well throw in the towel now, then.
18:49Anyone want to top up?
18:50Yeah, thanks.
18:51I heard the Vic's ready to open again.
18:53That's good news, isn't it?
18:54Yeah.
18:55It'd be great to get the family together again.
18:57And my little girl back home.
18:59Oh, actually, Dad,
19:00I think I might stay on at Junior's for a bit.
19:01It's just...
19:02It's nice and quiet, isn't it,
19:03without the kids.
19:04And he's away, so...
19:05With a blink of the eye,
19:14they've flown the nest.
19:16I've got to take my hat off to you, darling.
19:18For me, it was one and done.
19:19The pain of pushing Linda out.
19:22I mean, she had her head
19:23the size of a bowling ball.
19:25You get that epidural in ASAP.
19:27Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
19:28Just gas in there for this one.
19:30What's good for mums,
19:31good for baby and for all of us.
19:33We've only just got off
19:35that slippery slope, haven't we,
19:36so we don't need an epidural
19:37turning into an avalanche.
19:46What?
19:58If you plan on staying in here again,
20:00we've got one of them black beds
20:03and do it.
20:04Have you called my dad again?
20:06Because if you have,
20:07you'll end up down that pit like Phil.
20:08No, no, no, I didn't notice that.
20:14Sorry, I've...
20:15I've got this gift of doing the wrong thing.
20:18I do know that there's more to this.
20:25I don't know what,
20:29and I don't really want to know.
20:30but I do know that your dad loves you.
20:35Well, I can smile, but, you know, it's true.
20:42I had a nephew.
20:47I made life hell for him,
20:48and I can never forgive myself.
20:50Well, I know if he was still around,
20:54I'd spend all my time trying to make up to him,
20:58you know?
20:58No, I can't.
21:03Come on.
21:07Look,
21:08whatever your dad did to hurt you,
21:13I know,
21:14I know that it's going to be eating him away
21:16the rest of his life.
21:17So if you love him,
21:22you don't have to forgive him.
21:25Just give him a chance, you know?
21:27Give him a chance to make it up to you.
21:32Okay.
21:47I'll be out in a minute.
21:49Well,
21:50we'll both be out in a minute then,
21:51won't we?
21:54Uh,
21:54got the electric sorted,
21:56and Elaine told me about Ian being a prat.
22:00That's one dull spark I've never been able to fix.
22:02I am so sorry.
22:04Yeah, he's a prat,
22:05but he's just the tip of the iceberg at the minute.
22:11It's just, um,
22:13it's all been going really well.
22:17I've sort of let myself forget
22:19about all the risks
22:20I've put my baby through.
22:26Right, it felt real again today.
22:29It felt real.
22:31All the things that could happen,
22:32the things that
22:33could already be happening.
22:35I mean, my baby could be born addicted.
22:38It could struggle,
22:40and that is all my fault.
22:42No, Lauren,
22:43look,
22:44you are a good mum.
22:46A good mum
22:47who fell into a hole,
22:48but you got help,
22:50and you got yourself better,
22:52and you kept your baby safe,
22:54and that, my darling,
22:55is all down to you.
22:58And guess what?
22:59In a few weeks,
23:01you're going to have to keep them safe
23:02for the rest of their lives.
23:04So come on,
23:06save those tears,
23:07because you are going to need them.
23:24Oh, no, no.
23:26Is this deja vu
23:27of you two just ran out of ideas
23:28to traumatise me?
23:29No.
23:30No, I'm just clearing out some clothes.
23:33Well, Dad led a search party
23:35to the pub
23:36by the smell of him.
23:37So, yeah,
23:39well played on finding Harry,
23:40everyone.
23:41You know,
23:42they say walking's
23:43supposed to help with worry.
23:45After 5.7 miles,
23:47I disagree.
23:48So,
23:49I guess I'll be in my room,
23:50worrying.
23:51Look,
23:51you two could have had
23:52a better mum,
23:54but none of them
23:54would have loved you
23:55more than me.
23:56I'll put these on,
24:00shall I?
24:00Block out all the shell.
24:05Take it you didn't find them
24:06at the bottom of a bottle either?
24:15I'll guess I'll pack your bag for you.
24:17Right?
24:25Harry?
24:26I, uh,
24:28I heard about,
24:29you know.
24:31At least you know for sure
24:32I didn't do it now, right?
24:34Yeah, look,
24:35I don't know how to say this,
24:38and I don't even know
24:39if I should be saying it,
24:41but when I met her neighbour,
24:43Felicity,
24:44she told me something,
24:45something that I think
24:46you'd have the right to know.
24:48What?
24:49So,
24:54no news on the job front then,
24:55no?
24:58Listen,
24:58about earlier.
25:01I'm sorry,
25:02I just,
25:02I just really worry about it.
25:03You're talking about it
25:04like it's nothing to do with me?
25:05And as far as I'm concerned,
25:07he's our boy.
25:09Right?
25:09You've been our rock,
25:12big,
25:13and if there is a circle of trust,
25:15you are right in the middle of it.
25:20I need all the help
25:21I can get with him.
25:21What now?
25:49You're gonna drag me out into the street
25:50kicking and screaming
25:51because that's what you'll have to do.
25:52For once in your life,
25:53just do what's right for us,
25:54please.
25:54That is exactly what I'm trying to do.
25:56You ruined his life, Nick.
25:57You ruined our lives.
25:59He can't even look at me.
26:00My son
26:01can't even look at me.
26:04Look what you've done to us.
26:06Can you even see it, eh?
26:07I could have told him
26:09the truth,
26:11but I couldn't.
26:12I could have sold you
26:14down the river
26:15to have a glimmer of hope
26:16that'll make me look
26:16just a little bit better,
26:19but I couldn't.
26:20Because I love him.
26:25And you love me too,
26:27Ted.
26:32And you need me
26:33if you've got a chance
26:36of getting our son back.
26:38You need me.
26:40As the scapegoat,
26:42as the manipulator,
26:44as the mother.
26:47And you know it.
26:49And you know
26:50that I am not going anywhere
26:53until we get our son back.
27:01What's happened, H?
27:03What you done?
27:06Shireen was pregnant.
27:08You killed her.
27:11And my baby.
27:12Now, we've both lost a kid,
27:19haven't we, Dad?
27:24Is this cockily slang?
27:27No, darling.
27:28Just a baker who can't spill.
27:31I wouldn't worry about the cake.
27:32I'd be more worried
27:33about the possibility
27:33of a baby ear.
27:35The baby what?
27:36Hold on.
27:37I've apologised to Lauren
27:38for being insensitive, okay?
27:39So it's only the poor
27:40scorn on a legacy name.
27:41One in is one too many.
27:44This is for you.
27:46Can you go?
27:47That's for you.
27:48Just grab mine.
27:49Okay.
27:50I'd like to propose a toast.
27:51Oh, thank you.
27:53To Lauren,
27:54Peter,
27:54and the future.
27:56To family.
27:57That's right.
27:58Don't tell me
28:05I missed the party.
28:16Taking the really
28:17long way home,
28:18it's a heck of a journey
28:19across time and space.
