00:00I can't pull!
00:30Just let me know how Patrick is after last night, yeah?
00:39Well, Andy said he ain't slept much, so he won't hold your breath.
00:44And he ain't the only one.
00:47Well, he was tossing and turning all night.
00:50That pain on your mind, or...
00:52Yeah, I've got to give someone some bad news.
00:54Well, you know, darling, just rip the plaster off.
00:56Save yourself the headache, all right?
00:58See you later.
01:00Man on a mission.
01:14Know the feeling.
01:16You got any names for me yet?
01:18Working on it.
01:19Scout's honour.
01:22You all right, Uncle Jack?
01:25Is your brother in there?
01:27Er, yeah.
01:28Oscar?
01:34Oscar!
01:35Er, is this about the knife stuff?
01:36All right, get up.
01:37We're going over to the Trumans.
01:38I'm going to allow it.
01:39I'm on charge.
01:41What's going on?
01:42Peter and the boys are upstairs.
01:43Well, do you want to tell her what you told me last night?
01:45I can't remember.
01:47I was wasting.
01:47Can't have been anything that important.
01:49Not important?
01:50Why, attacking Patrick ain't important.
01:52Shh.
01:53What?
01:54Yeah, you heard.
01:55And he's going over.
01:57Ow!
01:57And you're going to see Patrick, and you're going to confess.
02:01Oh, great.
02:02Look, an actual frogmite.
02:03Brilliant.
02:03Yeah.
02:04It can get a lot worse than that, mate.
02:06Uncle Jack, wait.
02:07Look, Uncle Jack.
02:08Does me calling an ambulance for Patrick not count for nothing?
02:11What do you want?
02:12Provide a Britain award?
02:13I had Mike breathing down my neck, and not on the fun way.
02:16He was round here with knives.
02:17No, listen.
02:17I spoke to Mike, and I pushed him away.
02:19I warned him.
02:20You made it 20 times worse.
02:25Well, ain't you got nothing to say?
02:26Well, it sounds like he was desperate.
02:31Patrick's all right, isn't he, long term?
02:35You knew about this, didn't you?
02:38It's complicated.
02:39Complicated?
02:40I've got a nephew who's whacking pensioners, yeah?
02:43And a niece who's covering it up like it's a bald patch.
02:46It's pretty simple to me.
02:47Oscar made a terrible mistake.
02:50But if this gets out, then he's got to go straight back inside.
02:53He won't go to prison for years, Uncle Jack.
02:55Well, maybe that's what he needs, eh?
02:56Reform his character.
02:59Because prison does that so well.
03:01He barely got through young offenders.
03:03He won't last another stint.
03:05I cannot ruin his life.
03:07Oh, what you want?
03:09You expect me to lie and all, do you?
03:11Because Patrick is basically family.
03:13Ain't I literal family?
03:15Not by choice, you ain't.
03:17I know that we are asking too much.
03:22And I know that he's a total idiot.
03:24But he's...
03:25He's our idiot.
03:26Ginny.
03:27Huh?
03:28Can you please...
03:30Please just keep this quiet.
03:34There's something in the air, men.
03:37Can you smell it?
03:40That's the fresh smell of the tide turning.
03:43You can taste the bitter tears of the feminist, anti-male, liberal elite.
03:50Because they can hear us marching together.
03:53Not to their tune, but to our own.
03:57At our live Unchained Man event, they will hear us and they will see us.
04:03Tickets are limited and the time is running out.
04:05So, by your seat at the head of the table.
04:07Oh, Dad.
04:07I'm sorry.
04:08I'm sorry.
04:08But I'm on a budget.
04:12But I'm on a budget because we're paying off your debt.
04:13You know, we've got Sharon on our back from Australia.
04:16So, how about you be your own man?
04:17Don't get a few more shifts down the city beyond.
04:18What?
04:19What?
04:20What?
04:21So, I'm on a budget because we're paying off your debt.
04:23You know, we've got Sharon on our back from Australia.
04:24So, how about you be your own man?
04:25Don't get a few more shifts down the city beyond.
04:27What?
04:28What?
04:29What?
04:30What?
04:31What?
04:32What?
04:33What?
04:34What?
04:35What?
04:36What?
04:37What?
04:38What?
04:39What?
04:40What?
04:41What?
04:42What?
04:43What?
04:44What?
04:45What?
04:46What?
04:47What?
04:48What?
04:49Why does this bank already drop off costing us then for some nutty messed up the order
04:52dates?
04:53Aye, aye.
04:54You can take the notice of her.
04:55Mate, she'll be cracking a whip on me later.
04:56Yeah, you wish.
04:57Cheers, sweetheart.
04:58Thanks, mate.
04:59Do you need Anne carrying those in?
05:00What, are you a Cub Scout now?
05:01What are you sniffing about for?
05:03Well, there's this gig next month and, erm, I thought Tommy could do with getting out
05:07of the house, but we needed help with the tickets.
05:10Oh, really?
05:11Is that right?
05:12I don't think that's a good idea.
05:13What planet are you on?
05:14I've told Tommy to steer clear of you.
05:16Best you do the same.
05:17No, we're neighbours.
05:18You can't give us a part.
05:19No.
05:20You bleedin' well watch me, darling.
05:22Come on.
05:23Grab that.
05:31Johnny.
05:32Hey.
05:33Hey, erm, I thought you were still cruising.
05:35On the cruise?
05:36With your mum?
05:37No, no.
05:38I got back last night.
05:39I left mum, Ollie and Annie sunbathing on a beach in Mexico.
05:42And they're trying to get a tan as good as yours.
05:45You what?
05:46Nothing, nothing.
05:47Just, erm, life and sea weren't for you then, nah?
05:50No, no.
05:51I was loving it.
05:52But, erm, work kind of offered me this big promotion and the caveat being, I had to start
05:56straight away, so.
05:57Fine, mate.
05:58That's just amazing.
06:00Amazing.
06:01It alright for us to be out here and just rubbing shoulders?
06:06We're bound to bump into each other at some point, aren't we?
06:09Hey, steady on.
06:10I've only just got back.
06:11Now you are back, mate.
06:14Maybe it's good to give each other some space.
06:17Took the words out of my mouth.
06:19Did I?
06:20Yeah.
06:21I mean, it's probably for the best, innit?
06:22And besides, I can't help Phil.
06:24I'm ruining my new wardrobe.
06:25Anyway, I bet heads.
06:27I, erm, promised Gran a catch-up, so.
06:29Yeah.
06:30I'll see you.
06:36She and Anna will be hearing her.
06:38It's that most off from O'Key.
06:40I've got no choice.
06:41Still got to pay Ravi off somehow.
06:43Just don't touch him, please.
06:48Yes, man, then.
06:49What were you saying?
06:51You good?
06:52Yeah?
06:55No?
06:56OK, wow.
06:57Nice to see you too.
07:01Coach, what are you telling me?
07:03Listen, I heard about what happened last week.
07:07Hmm?
07:08I just wanted to say sorry for that little mix-up.
07:11This ain't good now, though, yeah?
07:13Don't talk to him.
07:14Well, I can't just check in on my mate now.
07:17Let me do this, yeah?
07:18Go on.
07:19What about Carnival?
07:20You coming?
07:21I'll be there.
07:22Bless him.
07:23You're saying you saw it out on phones, yeah?
07:24I ain't had time to go for them all.
07:25Find some little neat to help you.
07:26What about your brother?
07:27Barney ain't going near him.
07:28Listen, I don't care how you figure it out.
07:29Just make sure it's patterned by this evening.
07:30This evening?
07:31It's bank holiday.
07:32OK, I'll just let Ravi know you're on annual leave then, yeah, shall I?
07:34Huh?
07:35You've had long enough.
07:36Right?
07:37Sort it out.
07:38One second.
07:39Yes, hello.
07:40I don't want you anywhere near Joel, right?
07:41I'm chatting online, no nothing.
07:42And Stacey's finally persuaded Lily Tom back, so go over and say hello, yeah?
07:46How's it?
07:47Why not?
07:52Tom!
07:53Cat's still got the cream, I see.
07:55Hey, I'll tell you how you're playing.
07:57Can you see him?
07:58I'm next to you, come on.
07:59I'm back to you, come on.
08:00Let's go and see you in the back, I mean you were doing it.
08:01You're going to tell you someone.
08:02What?
08:03I'm just trying to tell you what a morning.
08:04I was going to tell you guys.
08:05What?
08:06Who'd be?
08:07Oh, I'm really going to tell you I've got a little bit of a different thing.
08:09Anthony, it's been ages! Come here!
08:13Oh, look at you! Scotland's treated you well.
08:20Can't complain. Apart from the wife and two boys draining my wallet.
08:24Yeah, same here. Except I've got three and an Alfie.
08:27That's right, you were expecting twins. Three kids?
08:30Yep. Wow.
08:32And Zoe. You remember Zoe?
08:34Yes, I do. I'm here for a few days.
08:38We should catch up. Yeah, great. Pop in for a drink.
08:41I'm the governor now. Come a long way from the busty barmaid I used to know.
08:46I won't watch it. I'm still just as Alfie.
08:48So I suppose you're back early to help Patrick get back on his feet.
08:55Yes!
08:57Come on, Pops! Let's get you to the carnival mood!
09:01It's too early for this noise, Kim.
09:03Yeah, some of us are doing wedding prep here. You could help.
09:07Listen, you may be made of honour, but I am made of celebratory times, yeah?
09:14I'm here to lift spirits!
09:16You talking about me?
09:18Look, Patrick, it's all right if you're finding some things difficult, don't you?
09:22Stop your pity and fussing, man!
09:24Yeah, but, Pops, what you've been through...
09:26It's my business. And I'm fine. All right?
09:31When Anthony gets here, I don't want him thinking anything different, so drop it!
09:35Got it!
09:37I'm just completing the catering order. How many bottles of rum you think we will need?
09:42Oh, don't bother me. Not my dad and bothered by rum!
09:46Hey! Anthony! Hey, my boy's home!
09:52Hey!
09:53Yeah!
09:54Gonna tell me what happened?
09:59I still can't believe we own the pub. We really are the best family round here now.
10:07Always have been! And that's why me and Alfie are gonna do a barbecue, yeah?
10:11Nice big shindig for the square.
10:14Is that another one?
10:17Another what?
10:19Oh, since my pictures were leaked, I keep getting tagged on posts online.
10:24Trolls, you mean.
10:26I've told her to turn notifications off because of the disgusting, sexist messages people are leaving.
10:32I thought you said that'd all blown over.
10:33No, Lil. Um...
10:35Look, I just have to take screenshots and send them to the police. They'll deal with it.
10:39Right. Let's make this an Irish coffee, yeah?
10:43This was Elaine's. Best finish it, yeah?
10:46Let's not let the scumbags win.
10:48Right?
10:49Oh!
10:50Tommy's secret profile's liked these.
10:52What did you say, Tommy? What?
10:54Tommy's got a fake profile, so you and Alfie can't stalk him.
10:56But...
10:57Tommy's liked malicious posts about Stacey.
11:00Oh, my. Why?
11:01Are you surprised?
11:02He had a guy at me for going on the secret cam thing.
11:04Well, maybe it was a mistake.
11:06A slip of the finger or something. Five times.
11:08That's how many posts he's liked.
11:11What the hell? What's he playing at?
11:14Ah, damn.
11:16I'm sure it's been a long time since you've had some bun and cheese.
11:20So, uh, when is Sophie and the grandson's coming down now?
11:25Unfortunately, they're in Beijing for the summer.
11:29I'm visiting Sophie's mum.
11:31Oh!
11:32Beijing for the summer.
11:33Okay.
11:34So you and Sophie have money, then?
11:37We're doing all right.
11:39And like your arm, all this from a fork carrying boxes...
11:43I'll make some tea?
11:44Yeah.
11:45We had a long journey.
11:46Yeah, um...
11:47It'll be coming off in a few days' time.
11:52Still, I should check you over.
11:54The doctors have already given me the old clay.
11:58But I'm not just any doctor.
12:00I'm your son.
12:01We've been looking after him.
12:02There's nothing to worry about.
12:04And who are you?
12:05A medical professional?
12:06No.
12:07He's my best man.
12:09So manners.
12:14It's just a bad fool, that's all.
12:19Oh, I wasn't expecting a full house.
12:21Anthony, mate, Jack.
12:23Nice to finally meet you.
12:25So, um...
12:27Got an update on the case.
12:29His case?
12:30What kind of update?
12:32They found the attacker.
12:34You were attacked?
12:36I'm sorry.
12:37I'm sorry.
12:38I'm sorry.
12:39I'm sorry.
12:40I'm sorry.
12:41I'm sorry.
12:42I'm sorry.
12:43I'm sorry.
12:44I'm sorry.
12:45I'm sorry.
12:46I'm sorry.
12:47I'm sorry.
12:48No, look.
12:49Look, all I'm saying is, give me a trial shift and I'll surprise you.
12:53None of the real establishments are looking for staff at the moment, okay?
12:57I admire you.
13:00Do you know that?
13:02Frugal underdog who outsmarted the odds, built a successful empire.
13:06I guess I just want to soak up your expertise.
13:09Learn how to become a top dog.
13:11Oh, all right.
13:12Learn for free, yeah?
13:13Minimum wage.
13:15I'm a hard grafter, just like you.
13:17I'll do anything.
13:18Do you know what?
13:19It's a really, really good pitch, okay?
13:23But I've got grandsons who can soak up my expertise for free, all right?
13:27Profits before people, yeah?
13:29Oh, thanks, Marie.
13:40What's up, mate?
13:42You need some extra cash.
13:44Yeah, I do, yeah.
13:45That's a hundred, son.
13:49I need someone that's good with tech, who isn't bait.
13:53Does that sound like you?
13:54Oh, that sounds exactly like me.
13:57All right, sit down.
14:00And I'm just finding out about all this now.
14:02Patrick didn't want to worry you, Anthony.
14:04I'm his next of kin.
14:05I should be kept in the loop.
14:07Attacked.
14:08Anthony, Anthony, you're making a scene.
14:10What was this update, then, Jack?
14:13Yeah, I did a bit of digging with the DCI.
14:15And, um, did drop in the case.
14:19Because there's a lack of evidence.
14:20You can't be serious.
14:22That's it, then.
14:23But attacker gonna be left gallivanting the streets.
14:27Technically, yes. However...
14:29Pops can hardly leave the house as it is.
14:31But this is gonna set him back even further.
14:33They know he's getting married next week, innit?
14:35This isn't good enough.
14:36I'm going down the station, demand they keep the case open.
14:39But what new evidence?
14:40That if the culprit can't be found, we should just...
14:44Leave it at that, not drag it out.
14:46But look what he's doing to him!
14:48Listen now, man.
14:49Only talking about me like I some kind of frail, decrepit old man.
14:54Nobody is saying that, Patrick.
14:56Good.
14:57Good.
14:59Then I think we should...
15:01We should all go down to the vic later.
15:03Right?
15:04You sure?
15:05Yeah.
15:07I don't want to sit around dwelling.
15:11My son is here and I want to...
15:13I want to celebrate.
15:15I want to move forward.
15:18I think that's a great idea.
15:19You.
15:26We're gonna miss most of Carnival.
15:28And whose fault is that?
15:31I don't know.
15:32Who do you think you're blowing that whistle up?
15:34Should we just stay local instead?
15:35Dad, no way!
15:36Co-jell is excited and...
15:38I've just got all dressed up.
15:41Oh, good.
15:42Caught you just in time.
15:44Everything all right, Dad?
15:45Yeah, yeah.
15:46I just thought I'd come to Carnival with you.
15:48No, absolutely not.
15:49Number one, you've got no ribbon.
15:50Number two...
15:51Excuse me.
15:52Now you used to call me snake hips.
15:53George, you know.
15:55Besides, it'd be great to spend the day with you all, wouldn't it?
16:00Kwame, are you coming too?
16:02Absolutely not.
16:03Well, if you want me to, you know.
16:04Plus, I bought these along.
16:06So, we could be matching.
16:08Ha-ha!
16:09Here you go.
16:10Ah, we don't need you for that.
16:11We could wear them instead, eh?
16:13Matching.
16:14I think they'd quite suit me.
16:15Yeah.
16:16Brothers from different mothers.
16:19Well, that's cool.
16:20I don't have to come.
16:21It's fine.
16:22I've spent...
16:23Spentangling you on my own.
16:26Wait.
16:27It's getting quite late.
16:28Maybe we should go to the Vic so that Kwame isn't alone.
16:34If that's what you want.
16:35Well, you heard the man.
16:38I can't see Patrick making it over the Vic later.
16:41No?
16:42And at this rate, it'd be a miracle if he makes it to his own wedding.
16:46I thought Anthony turning up would have been a boost.
16:48Nah.
16:49Not with his attack of being left at large.
16:51You know, not no-one's gonna kill him.
16:54Looks good as.
16:56I can't do this.
16:58Oh, come on, don't beat yourself up.
17:00It wasn't your decision to shut the case, was it?
17:03No, it was Oscar.
17:05He attacked Patrick.
17:07Oscar?
17:08He confessed to me last night.
17:10And I've been debating all night whether or not to tell Patrick.
17:13You have been covering for Oscar?
17:15No.
17:17I've been thinking of a way to discuss it with Patrick.
17:19Well, this isn't flipping match of the day.
17:22What is there to discuss?
17:23Look, if he calls the old bill, Oscar's gonna go down for a long time, innit?
17:26Oh, dear.
17:27My heart bleeds.
17:30Oh, right.
17:31So you think you can live with this on your conscience, do you?
17:32Hi.
17:33Dee?
17:34Dee, where are you going?
17:35To give that scrote a piece of my mind.
17:37And if he don't fess up, I'm gonna do it for him.
17:38Watch me.
17:39Thank you, darling.
17:40Hold on.
17:41You actually enjoy working for Cindy Beale?
17:46Darling, it's my public duty.
17:48I couldn't leave this community in her cold claws.
17:49I'm needed.
17:50Listen to that.
17:51I'm sorry.
17:52I could have sworn I'm fair with Steven.
