00:00I
00:30I've rung Gina. Told her we're not going to open the bar today. Not till we know Harry's
00:38all right. I'm sure he's fine. He's probably stayed at a mate's or a hotel or something.
00:44You need to pack your stuff and go. No. We need to talk.
00:48We are done talking. You need to go today and I ain't asking.
00:56Look at me, Teddy. Look at me.
01:00Do I look like a cold-blooded murderer to you?
01:04It was an accident. I mean, it could have gone either way.
01:07It could be her standing here right now instead of me.
01:10You killed her. Cold or boiling blood. You killed her, Nick.
01:15I can't even look at you anymore. Just go. Now.
01:22No. You can call the old Bill if you want.
01:25But he is my son.
01:28And if you really think he needs his heart broken again and needs to know the truth,
01:35then he's going to hear it from me.
01:36You see, this is why I hate doing things online. I should have baked it myself.
01:46Maybe they thought it was 70s theme.
01:48Oh, fine.
01:49Well, I tried ringing them, but of course, you know, flipping baked holiday, innit?
01:53Honestly, it's fine. I really like it.
01:55As long as all the family are there celebrating together, that is all that matters.
01:58Isn't that right, Peter?
01:59Yeah. Yeah, of course. We really appreciate it. Thank you.
02:02Oh, no.
02:03What's this?
02:05Well, I think the French call it champagne, Ian.
02:07And if we're going to toast my grandson's bride-to-be and new baby,
02:11then, well, I'd try it first, didn't I?
02:13Yeah, but this is expensive stuff.
02:14We can't afford to hand this out by the gallon.
02:16Oh, I gave birth to a son so tight, he only cries out of one eye. It's beyond me.
02:20I am not being tight, okay?
02:22But I am not overindulging the nightmare side of the family,
02:25which we are only related to because his mum likes a double life in a bunker.
02:29Elaine gets away for this, she will bankrupt us.
02:32Ian, they are family.
02:34And nothing brings family together better than a wedding and a new baby.
02:37So today, we come together, all right?
02:42Oh.
02:44Yes, Felix.
02:45Is those balloons up yet?
02:48Oh, what?
02:50Final birth plan with the midwife today.
02:53You excited?
02:54Yeah, of course.
02:57Uh, work thing.
03:01Yeah.
03:02Yeah, yeah.
03:03Okay.
03:04The electorate's gone down at the hour, but I'll have to go and sort it.
03:08But don't worry, there will still be a ball, Cinderella.
03:15Sorry, we ain't open yet.
03:18All right.
03:20All right.
03:22I know, Zach.
03:25Sharon's told me everything and this morning she sent me this.
03:28She wants me to show you, so you don't do anything stupid.
03:31All right.
03:32I know this changes everything and I know you're going to want to go and see Nicola, but
03:39Sharon says to keep calm and let it play out.
03:45You promise me you'll do that?
03:47I know it's a lot to take in, but promise me, yeah?
03:52Can you leave me alone, please?
03:53Zach.
04:14You all right, Lee?
04:17I've been better, Bill.
04:18Yeah.
04:19Annie told me that she saw a story pop up a bit.
04:23I just wanted to check on you, you know?
04:32Harry.
04:35Listen, why don't you come back to ours, eh?
04:38You jump in the shower and I'll take you for some breakfast.
04:42Come on, what do you think?
04:47You know what?
04:48I am so proud that the builder's bum-crack culture is still up and running.
04:53Even on a double bubble, Van Connerty.
04:55I just want to go home.
04:57Me too.
04:58But they were making good progress inside last time we checked and I know that you wanted
05:02to bling it up a bit what the pump is like, what the pump is like.
05:05Who are we to change it?
05:06You're absolutely right, darling.
05:08Yeah, agreed.
05:09Now, remember, engagement party.
05:12Best behavior, which means...
05:13No antagonizing or assaulting you.
05:16Very good.
05:17Yeah.
05:17Feel a lot calmer for Anna with it, if you're lying.
05:19Oh, did she make up light all right?
05:21Yeah, yeah.
05:21But, uh, mate, was pretty broke up.
05:23Mum's so young.
05:23Let me know if you're seeing, yeah?
05:26Clitty boy, any news on the final checks on this place yet?
05:29Yeah, final few tonight and you can have the keys tomorrow.
05:32What?
05:33You are joking.
05:34Get in here.
05:37We're going home, darlings.
05:39Oh, more birds.
05:40You've got your local back.
05:41Woo-hoo!
05:42Oi.
05:43Turn it down, will you?
05:45People might not want to dance on Martin's grave, Josh, yet.
05:57Have you not got something more productive you can do to sit around on that thing all day?
06:00Not really, no.
06:03There she is.
06:04Now, I know we're out job hunting today, but I weren't expecting you out that early.
06:07Early bird catches the worm, right?
06:10Who is that?
06:11Where are you going?
06:12To my ring.
06:12Make a phone call.
06:13Do something productive.
06:15Give him a break.
06:17He's just a young kid having fun.
06:19Look, he's my son, all right?
06:20I know what's best for him, so let me worry about him and you worry about paying your sister back, all right?
06:25I better go and find myself a job then.
06:27At least I know where I stand.
06:29The pressure's rubbish on that shower, isn't it?
06:34It'd be better off having a wash down in the sink.
06:37Cheers, Bill.
06:38I really appreciate it.
06:38Listen, I don't want to, like, make myself busy, but it's obvious you didn't go home last night.
06:50I just wondered whether you needed to talk.
06:53There's nothing to talk about.
06:55Your life ain't fair, is it?
06:56Otherwise, she'd still be alive.
07:02She didn't get on with my mum and dad, so we had words and I walked out for good.
07:09Shh.
07:09I'm sorry, H, but, uh, life's too short to fall out with your family.
07:19Take it from someone who knows, eh?
07:23Well, I'll need you to...
07:25Just thought it was a real kick at the back side.
07:42I know Harvey's doing this bit.
07:44Bury the city boys.
07:45The race is a bit, but we still need to make some money and fast.
07:52Moe!
07:53Will you stop lying up the builders?
07:54Right, you're the squares schemer.
07:57You must have some ideas.
07:59I've got ideas, all right.
08:01You need to keep that hard hat on, though.
08:04Look, Fat Elvis has got a job like a car cleaner.
08:07I'll get the birdseed out and let the pigeons do us a favour.
08:10No, we can't rely on pigeons this time, Moe.
08:12We need money fast.
08:13Don't get your knickers in a twist, son, it'll crop up.
08:17Oh, Jean, do you fancy only a couple of quid?
08:20Cash in hand?
08:20Yeah, cool.
08:21Hold your horses.
08:22What's it for and how much?
08:23Oh, Lauren and Peter's engagement party.
08:25Kathy wants to move it to Harry's barn.
08:27I mean, he'd help serve him drinks and, like, clean up after.
08:29What do you think?
08:29Yes, let's get cracking.
08:30Yeah, quick.
08:31What, now?
08:32Yeah, now.
08:33Actually, we could do one more person.
08:34Can you think of a third?
08:35Morning, ladies.
08:36What's on the agenda today, then?
08:38All I'm trying to say is we can work this out.
08:42Your mum, she's gone.
08:45If this was just on mum, I'd pack her bags for her.
08:50But this is on you too, Dad, and you know it.
08:54How could you not tell me as soon as you found out?
08:57There ain't nothing left to say.
08:59I'm done with you.
09:02Do you remember this?
09:04What, you want to walk down memory lane with me now, Dad?
09:07Leave it out.
09:07Do you remember it, yes or no?
09:11Yes.
09:13Sit down, please.
09:14Yes.
09:14Sit down, please.
09:19From the moment you were born, I knew you'd be a fighter.
09:24Some kids, you can just see it in their faces.
09:26I had it all planned.
09:32When you were old enough, I was going to take you over to Repton.
09:36ABAs, British title, European, world titled or not.
09:40And I got you this for your third birthday to wear.
09:44Your mum took it off you the day after.
09:47Said you're going to choke on it.
09:49But I still took you to Repton, though.
09:52To you as what?
09:53About nine?
09:56And then they let you spar.
09:59I saw you take a couple of digs.
10:02And you didn't mind.
10:05But I did.
10:07Never took you back.
10:10She was worried about you choking.
10:15And I didn't want to see you get hurt.
10:16And now look what we've done.
10:23I'm sorry, H.
10:27More than you know.
10:31Because I'm a fighter, too.
10:33And I will never stop fighting to keep you in my life.
10:37Because you and Barney, you are my life.
10:43I'm sorry.
10:45It's been so tough, too.
10:45I'm serious.
10:48I don't know.
11:18I think we need to talk, don't you?
11:32Sorry again for keeping you. Baby's heartbeat is strong.
11:37Probably excited for a punch-up.
11:39They're going to their first Bill's bash in a minute, so it should be fun.
11:42We got engaged, so we're celebrating. No punch-ups.
11:45Oh, I need to take this, if that's all right.
11:51Now, you're happy with the birth plan we've outlined?
11:54Yeah, I'm happy. We're happy.
11:56And obviously everything looks fine, but you're aware of the procedures if baby needs a little help on arrival.
12:02Um, yeah, babies born to mums on methadone, they usually stay in hospital for, like, a week?
12:09Usually, yes, but cases do vary.
12:12Oh. So it could be longer?
12:13It depends. If mum's on a very high dose, there's more risk of complications.
12:18Obviously, you're following an R.
12:19So if I'm on a high dose, and then I go into labour early and the baby comes...
12:24Oh, no, no.
12:25Lauren, as far as I can tell, everything should be fine.
12:28Should be.
12:28We don't know that for sure, do we? I mean, for all we know, the baby could come out addicted.
12:35Sorry, Anne-Anne. Sorry about that.
12:38Um, everything looking good?
12:40All your scans are positive, you're on a steady dose, and baby's heartbeat is strong.
12:44And from what I can tell, you're going to be a very able and loving mother and father.
12:49I suggest you go and celebrate as a family.
12:54Yeah, thank you very much.
12:57See you soon.
12:57All right?
13:07Brilliant. Let's get you ready.
13:10It's pint time.
13:14All smoke and mirrors with you in here.
13:18Everything you do.
13:20Everything you say.
13:24You just going to sit there, I am?
13:25If Teddy comes home and you're here...
13:28He'll do what?
13:28What, Teddy's going to kill me, is he?
13:31Because he didn't kill that young girl.
13:33The keys they arrested did.
13:35Liar.
13:35Links you go to to keep me from my son.
13:39Am I wrong?
13:41I'm wrong.
13:42What, the police have got the wrong bloke?
13:44How about I go to the station, yeah?
13:46Tell them all your silly stories and just see which one they believe.
13:49And then, guess what?
13:50I'll come back here.
13:52When my son is home,
13:54then I'll tell him the whole story too.
13:58Teddy didn't kill that girl.
13:59If he could kill a woman, I'd have been dead years ago.
14:06I killed Shireen.
14:09We had an argument.
14:12She fell.
14:14Hit her head on a rock and...
14:16I just stood there.
14:18Watched her bleed out.
14:21The bloke they arrested buried her.
14:23Teddy helped me cover it up.
14:26And do you know what?
14:27I'd do it all again.
14:30Because as I keep telling you,
14:32I will do anything to keep my family together.
14:38You could go to the police.
14:40And you could tell Barney the truth too.
14:42But the question is, Zach,
14:45is it worth the risk?
14:50What with your daughter and your ex
14:52living in that little flat in Wakefield
14:54only three hours away?
14:57What do you reckon?
15:00Now,
15:01get out of my sight.
15:04Well, this is, uh, tragic.
15:25I mean, how much they're charging you for this?
15:27We could have done it at my place for free.
15:29Yeah, we're celebrating.
15:30It's hard to toast young love over pie mash and liquor, isn't it?
15:33Yeah, I know, but
15:33could have saved a fortune.
15:37Congratulations to you both.
15:39Thank you very much.
15:40Anything you need,
15:41you just let me know, yeah?
15:42How you're making.
15:43Oh, right on cue.
15:44Oh, hors d'oeuvres.
15:45No, there's meat or veg...
15:47Veggie selection.
15:48Veggie selection.
15:50Is this a wind-up?
15:51Am I supposed to be shelling out for senior service service as well?
15:55I mean, do you know what?
15:56I want to have a word with your gran, all right?
15:57Never mind the electrics.
15:58I mean, this, this is daylight robbery.
16:01Anyone feel welcome, champers?
16:05You and all.
16:06Have you had half of them already?
16:08Of course not, Bailey, babe.
16:10I'm glass collecting.
16:11Who's from?
16:12There's no one else here.
16:13Guess your son's Mr. Popular, then.
16:16Like father, like son.
16:18All right.
16:19Cheers, Mo.
16:21Get rid of the three stooges, please.
16:24And can we have some fruit juice?
16:26Not everyone can partake of alcohol.
16:34Party time.
16:36All right, go on.
16:37Thanks.
16:40You all right?
16:41Yeah.
16:43Um, are you sure your parents aren't going to be in here later?
16:46Oh, no, trust me.
16:47Once they've had one cocktail, they'll be out for the night.
16:52You okay?
16:54You're not, you're not regretting?
16:56Nah.
16:58Nah.
16:58Of course not.
17:00It's like, it's no biggie, is it?
17:03Well, I think it is.
17:07You mean a lot to me.
17:09So.
17:12You gonna sit down, then, or what?
17:14Come on.
17:15Come on.
17:16Cool.
17:23Webby, are you busy?
17:25Yeah, rushed off my feet.
17:28Your boyfriend's already been in, asking for work, but we've got nothing at the minute,
17:32so, uh, sorry.
17:34Although, if he keeps carrying on like this, you might need a new chef.
17:41He's all over the place.
17:44Will you call me back?
17:46Listen, I'm, I'm sorry.
17:47I will sort you a new place.
17:49Don't worry.
17:50Kiss Doddy from me, yeah?
17:51Zack, what have you done?
18:03It takes a lot to find the right person to put a ring on.
18:06Well, for some of us, anyway.
18:08Obviously not hard to find a glass of champagne.
18:10What's that, three, four?
18:11Five.
18:1242% on marriages and did divorce.
18:15Oh.
18:16Might as well throw in the towel now, then.
18:18Anyone want to top up?
18:19Yeah, please.
18:20I heard the, uh, I heard the Vic's ready to open again.
18:22That's, that's good news, isn't it?
18:23Yeah.
18:24It'd be great to get the family together again.
18:27And my little girl back home.
18:28Oh, actually, Dad, I think I might stay on at Junior's for a bit.
18:31It's just, it's nice and quiet, isn't it, without the kids.
18:33And he's away, so.
18:34Oh, with a blink of the eye, they've flown the nest.
18:45I've got to take my hat off to you, darling.
18:47For me, it was one and done.
18:49The pain of pushing Linda out.
18:51I mean, she had a head the size of a bowling ball.
18:54You get that epidural in ASAP.
18:56Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
18:57Just, uh, just gassing there for this one.
18:59What's good for mum's good for baby and for, for all of us.
19:02We've only, uh, just got off that slippery slope, haven't we?
19:05So we don't need an epidural turning into an avalanche.
19:15What?
19:15If you're planning on staying in here again, we've got one of them black beds into it.
19:33Have you called my dad again?
19:35Because if you have, you'll end up down that pit like Phil.
19:37No, no, no, I didn't.
19:40Not this time.
19:40Sorry, I've, I've got this gift of doing the wrong thing.
19:50I do know that there's more to this.
19:54So, I don't know what, and I don't really want to know.
20:01But I do know that your dad loves you.
20:04Well, you can smile, but, you know, it's true.
20:11I had a nephew.
20:16I made life ill for him, and I can never forgive myself.
20:21I know if he was still around, I'd spend all my time trying to make up to him, you know?
20:28No, I can't.
20:32Come on.
20:36Look.
20:39Whatever your dad did to hurt you, I know, I know that it's going to be eaten him away the rest of his life.
20:48So if you, if you love him, you, you, you don't have to forgive him.
20:53Just give him a chance, you know, give him a chance to make it up to you.
21:02Okay.
21:16I'll be out in a minute.
21:18Well, we'll both be out in a minute then, won't we?
21:23Uh, I've got the electric sorted, and Elaine told me about Ian being a prat.
21:29That's one dull spark I've never been able to fix.
21:31I am so sorry.
21:33Yeah, he's a prat, but he's just the tip of the iceberg at the minute.
21:41It's just, um, it's all been going really well.
21:45Well, I've sort of let myself forget about all the risks I've, I've cut my baby through.
21:55Right, it felt real again today.
21:58It felt real.
22:00All the things that could happen, the things that could already be happening.
22:05I mean, my, my baby could be born addicted.
22:06It could, it could struggle, and that is all my fault.
22:11No, Lauren, look, you are a good mum.
22:15A good mum who fell into a hole, but you, you got help.
22:19And you got yourself better.
22:21And you kept your baby safe, and that, my darling, is all down to you.
22:25And guess what?
22:28In a few weeks, you're going to have to keep them safe for the rest of their lives.
22:33So come on.
22:35Save those tears, because you are going to need them.
22:37Oh, no, no.
22:55Is this déjà vu of you two just ran out of ideas to traumatise me?
22:59No.
23:00No, I'm, I'm, I'm just clearing out some clothes.
23:03Well, Dad led a search party to the pub by the smell of him.
23:05Um, so, yeah, well played on finding Harry, everyone.
23:11You know, they say walking's supposed to help with worry.
23:14After 5.7 miles, I disagree.
23:17So, I guess I'll be in my room, worrying.
23:20Look, you two could have had a better mum,
23:23but none of them would have loved you more than me.
23:28I'll put these on, shall I?
23:30Block out all the shouting.
23:31Take it you didn't find him at the bottom of a bottle either?
23:44I'll guess I'll pack your bag for you.
23:46Eh?
23:46Hi, Ray.
23:57I, uh, I heard about, you know.
24:00At least you know for sure I don't know, all right?
24:04Yeah, look, I'm...
24:05I don't know how to say this,
24:07and I don't even know if I should be saying it,
24:10but when I met her neighbour, Felicity,
24:13she told me something,
24:14something that I think you'd have the right to know.
24:18What?
24:23So, no news on the job front then, no?
24:27Listen, about earlier.
24:30Look, I'm sorry, I just, I'm just really worried about him.
24:32You're talking about it like it's nothing to do with me?
24:34And as far as I'm concerned, he's our boy, right?
24:40You've been our rock, Vic,
24:42and if there is a circle of trust,
24:44you are right in the middle of it.
24:49I need all the help I can get with him.
24:51What now?
25:18You're gonna drag me out into the street,
25:19kicking and screaming,
25:20because that's what you'll have to do.
25:21For once in your life, just do what's right for us, please.
25:23That is exactly what I'm trying to do.
25:25You ruined his life, Nick.
25:26You ruined our lives.
25:28He can't even look at me.
25:30My son can't even look at me.
25:33Look what you've done to us.
25:35Can you even see it, eh?
25:37I could have told him the truth,
25:40but I couldn't.
25:41I could have sold you down the river
25:44to have a glimmer of hope
25:45that would make me look just a little bit better,
25:48but I couldn't.
25:49Because I love him.
25:54And you love me too, Ted.
26:01And you need me
26:03if you've got a chance of getting our son back.
26:07You need me
26:09as the scapegoat,
26:11as the manipulator,
26:13as the mother.
26:16And you know it.
26:19And you know
26:19that I am not going anywhere
26:22until we get our son back.
26:25What's happened, H?
26:33What have you done?
26:35Shireen was pregnant.
26:37You killed her.
26:40And my baby.
26:41Now, we've both lost a kid,
26:48haven't we, Dad?
26:54Is this cocky slang?
26:56No, darling.
26:57Just a baker who can't spill.
26:58I wouldn't worry about the cake.
27:01I'd be more worried
27:02about the possibility
27:03of a baby Ian.
27:04A baby what?
27:05Now, hold on.
27:06I've apologised to Lauren
27:07for being insensitive, okay?
27:08So there's no need
27:09to pour scorn on a legacy name.
27:11One Ian
27:11is one too many.
27:14This is for you.
27:15Here you go.
27:16That's for you.
27:16You have mine.
27:18Okay.
27:19Well, let's propose a toast.
27:20Oh, please.
27:22To Lauren, Peter
27:23and the future.
27:25To family.
27:26That's right.
