00:00Anyone?
00:16What, no takers?
00:22Hey, Dad.
00:23You all right, Oscar?
00:25It's good to see you. You all right?
00:26Yeah, you too.
00:30Congratulations, Lauren.
00:36What are you doing here?
00:40I just heard a rumour you were getting married.
00:42I thought you might want some family wrapped around here.
00:44I've got family?
00:46Yeah.
00:48What are you doing, Louie? You all right?
00:50Yeah.
00:52Shut up, isn't it?
00:56Congratulations, mate.
00:58Thanks.
01:00You're a very lucky man.
01:02Yeah, I think so, yeah.
01:04I'm the lucky one.
01:06Yeah. Proud new member of the Beale clan.
01:08The ceremony was gorgeous.
01:10Really moving.
01:12Shame you missed it.
01:16Yeah.
01:18Yeah, it's plenty more fun to be had, I'm sure.
01:22Just doing the edits.
01:24Get yourself upstairs.
01:26There we are.
01:36All right, you said something.
01:38Back, are we?
01:39Yeah, sorry about that.
01:40Had a bit of business to take care of.
01:42Oh, yeah?
01:43What business is that?
01:44I thought you were looking for something new.
01:46Yeah, exactly.
01:48Prospects are...
01:54Dry cleaners in Dorsten.
01:56A restaurant.
01:58Just investment opportunities.
02:00Yeah, try doing that in office hours.
02:02This is family time.
02:04Yeah, that's not how it works, Brie.
02:06You know that.
02:08I'm trying to build a future for you, me, the kids, our family.
02:10Do me a favour.
02:12You don't care about me and the kids.
02:14All you care about is yourself.
02:19Fine.
02:20Whatever.
02:21If that's what you want to believe.
02:22Where are you going?
02:23Take a shower.
02:26God.
02:28Everything's going so well.
02:29Work.
02:30Us.
02:32We should book a flight.
02:33We should just go somewhere.
02:34All right, where would we go?
02:36Thailand.
02:37I've always fancied them white-hairs.
02:39Yeah, Phuket.
02:40Yeah, I could get on that.
02:42But, I mean, you have got a lot of work to do first.
02:46What work?
02:48Trust.
02:49You've got to earn my trust.
02:50I mean, right now I wouldn't be surprised if you stood me up at the airport.
02:55I'm not if you were my girlfriend.
03:00What are you saying?
03:02I don't.
03:03Do you want to make it official?
03:04What about you, son?
03:05You all right?
03:06Keeping out of trouble?
03:07Trying to.
03:08Yeah.
03:09He's doing really well now.
03:10He's going straight and narrow and we're really proud of him.
03:11Yeah, definitely.
03:12Yeah, well that's good.
03:13We've got a lucky sister like that, you know?
03:14Supportive.
03:15Taking you in.
03:16That's what families do.
03:17Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
03:18So you're going to stick around then?
03:19Spend some time?
03:20Er, yeah, maybe.
03:22It's not impossible, is it?
03:23You know?
03:24Be good.
03:25Spend a bit of time in the family.
03:26Were you really doing it?
03:27I told you that I'm here for you.
03:28I'm here for you.
03:29I'm here for you.
03:30I'm here for you.
03:31I'm celebrating your wedding.
03:32I couldn't believe my eyes.
03:33He was just standing there like some sort of ghost.
03:36You ain't got a crash, have you?
03:37No.
03:38No.
03:39No.
03:40No.
03:41No.
03:42No.
03:43No.
03:44No.
03:45No.
03:46No.
03:47No.
03:48No.
03:49No.
03:50No.
03:51No.
03:52No.
03:53No.
03:54No.
03:55No.
03:56No.
03:57No.
03:58The opposite.
03:59Every time I think of Max, I just think of all the things I ain't proud of, like Martin,
04:03Bradley.
04:04Max just makes me feel bad.
04:08I thought you were into him.
04:10Well, yeah, I was once, a long time ago.
04:13Oh, I thought there was twice, with Bradley, Martin.
04:17I mean, if he went back a second time, he must have been doing something right.
04:21What are you trying to say?
04:22Sorry, I don't mean to upset you.
04:24He's fine, I ain't upset.
04:25Just, you don't seem happy after you see him again.
04:28My advice, don't go back a third time.
04:31You'll save yourself a lot of grief.
04:33Thanks, sir.
04:35Well, what about Brighton?
04:36What?
04:37Oh, come on, we can hit the pier, jump in the sea, get a fish and chips on the front.
04:50Yeah, but what happened to white sand beaches?
04:52Yeah, but I've only got two days.
04:54Anyway, as long as we've got a nice room and a bottle of bubbly, I don't really care where
04:57we go.
04:58Right.
04:59I'll pack half an hour and then we're going tonight.
05:02Come on.
05:03Bye.
05:04Bye.
05:05Enjoying yourself?
05:18Uh, no.
05:19It's not exactly my favourite pub in the world.
05:21Yeah.
05:22I was a bit worried about coming back here, to be honest.
05:25I'll have to have a phone call.
05:28I was in hospital.
05:29I've just got out of the operating theatre.
05:31I won't feel it myself.
05:33So you don't want to kill me?
05:35I'm not worried this minute.
05:37Is that why I didn't hear back from you?
05:39Yeah.
05:40It wasn't that message.
05:41I thought you were drunk.
05:44Have you told anyone about us?
05:46No.
05:47You?
05:48Maybe we should keep it that way.
05:51Uh, yeah, definitely.
05:53Greg's alright, by the way.
05:55I did nothing.
05:57So what happened?
05:59It's a long story.
06:01Just to warn you by the way, Stacey's a bit raw still.
06:06Sensitive.
06:07When it comes to you.
06:09Well, she said that.
06:12She said you'd do her head in.
06:14So if you've come back for her.
06:16Aye.
06:17Good.
06:18Because you don't stand a chance.
06:23You sound a little bit too happy about that.
06:25Me?
06:27I don't care either way.
06:29Do you not jealous?
06:31You want me to be?
06:34I've got the cat dragged in.
06:36You all right, Cat?
06:37Nice to see you.
06:38Can I have a word?
06:42What are you doing talking to him?
06:47Nothing.
06:48Didn't even know it was him at first.
06:50He's a wrong one.
06:51I can handle myself.
06:52Can ya?
06:53After all that's been going on.
06:55Adding another dodgy geezer to the list ain't a good idea.
06:58Stay clear, zone.
07:00Buy me a drink?
07:01Uh, yeah.
07:02Yeah.
07:03Yeah.
07:04Yeah.
07:05Yeah.
07:08Buy me a drink?
07:09Uh, yeah.
07:10Yeah.
07:11Yeah.
07:12I'm sorry, but earlier.
07:42It's not you, it's me.
07:44Are you sure?
07:46Positive.
07:48I just want us to be happy.
07:52Yeah, we are.
07:53They're the kids, you know, so they know we're back together and it's working.
07:58We're a family, I just...
08:01I just want them to be secure.
08:03I love you.
08:13Yeah.
08:15Flirting with Zoe?
08:29Not a good idea, is it?
08:31Lauren, I've only just met the car.
08:35Just focus on your family, that's what you're here for, according to you.
08:38It is.
08:39Can you just be nice to Oscar, yeah?
08:43He really needs a dad right now.
08:46Do you think I've done the right thing?
08:51With what?
08:54Me and Pete are getting married.
08:56Uh, yeah.
08:59Yeah, I don't know, yeah, if you're happy.
09:03You happy?
09:04Yeah.
09:05Oh, good.
09:06No, it's just the whole surprise wedding thing, isn't it?
09:10What?
09:12I was just a bit desperate.
09:14What, like you and Mum on Christmas Day?
09:16No, that was different.
09:17No, it's not, it's the same thing.
09:19But yeah, it didn't work out in the end either, did it?
09:22So...
09:23Well...
09:24What are you saying then?
09:25You don't think me and Peter are going to work out?
09:27No, of course not.
09:28What are you talking about?
09:29I didn't say that.
09:30Well, God, spit it out.
09:31Clearly you've got something you want to say.
09:32Just say it!
09:33I don't know, alright?
09:34I've just always found you and him.
09:35I don't know.
09:36What?
09:37It's not natural, alright?
09:38It's not...
09:39It's not like a natural fit, is it?
09:47Do you even care?
09:49Lauren, don't be like that, please.
10:10No, Oscar, please.
10:16You okay?
10:17It's just my dad, he's doing the editing.
10:19It's nice.
10:20It's nice.
10:21It's nice.
10:22It's nice.
10:23It's nice.
10:24It's nice.
10:25Just a minute, what are you doing?
10:27Not even going to say hello to me?
10:29No, Max.
10:30Day, you happy now?
10:32No.
10:33A lot of sorry to hear about Martin.
10:36He's a nice guy.
10:39He's a nice guy.
10:42I'm sorry what happened to you, me and him, alright?
10:44I'm sorry that I nearly messed things up for you before.
10:46You didn't do it alone.
10:48Still think about you, Stace.
10:58Still think about you, me, Bradley, Tanya, all that mess we come through.
11:04It wasn't all bad, was it?
11:09I mean, you know what, years go by, you regret things, but then...
11:15You remember the moments.
11:22Special things.
11:25Good things.
11:30Then it weren't good things, wouldn't it?
11:34I don't know, Max.
11:38I don't know what you want from me.
11:39Nothing.
11:40I just want to talk, that's all.
11:41Talk?
11:42You never just want to talk.
11:43Yeah, well, maybe I've changed, Stace.
11:45I've changed.
11:49You know, losing Abby.
11:52Being on my own, not seeing my granddaughter.
11:57All these things, Stace, they just...
12:01weigh you down, and then all of a sudden you turn around,
12:03you've got nowhere to go.
12:11I'm sorry I won't.
12:15Shouldn't be landing all this on you.
12:20Just in case there ain't the many people I can talk to.
12:25It was really good to see you.
12:34One cup of tea.
12:40And a quick chat.
12:42So, you having a good time?
12:53Great.
12:54Dad seemed chuffed to see us, don't you think?
12:56Listen, just a little word of warning.
13:00Please don't get too excited.
13:03Daddy's got a habit of turning up, raising your hopes,
13:07and then just disappearing.
13:09Didn't seem like that.
13:11He sounded pretty, and he's got a deal sticking around.
13:15That's just what he says.
13:17He's just shot out of here chasing Stacey Slater, so who knows?
13:21If she turns him down, he could be gone within an hour.
13:33So, what happened to the cup of tea?
13:35Well, I don't know what it is about you, Max,
13:38but one look at you, and I want to hit the bottle.
13:40Yeah, sorry.
13:41Don't seem to have that effect on people.
13:46Yeah.
13:49Cheers.
13:50Cheers.
13:58Just one, though, yeah?
13:59Yeah, of course.
14:00Because Charlie's asleep upstairs, and Billy's...
14:03Yeah, I've got it.
14:04What's it like being a grandparent?
14:09Well, you tell me.
14:11A grand judge.
14:16It's nice to see you.
14:18It's nice to see you, too.
14:20It's so weird being back.
14:22Yeah.
14:23Yeah, all the old familiar places.
14:28I was walking out of the car towards Vic.
14:31It all just came back to me and I'm Bradley, Abby.
14:35More than that.
14:37I know how you feel.
14:40I know what happened with Martin every time I walk past that pub
14:43or stand at the bar and think of him.
14:47How do you deal with that, Stace, day after day?
14:49Well, it's just there.
14:51It's like an itch.
14:52Sometimes you forget and then...
14:56Sometimes something reminds you.
14:59I bet you miss him, don't you?
15:07It's taken a while.
15:08It's...
15:10It's taken a long time.
15:12I used to wake up every day.
15:17Just...
15:18Cry.
15:24I'm sorry.
15:25I'm sorry.
15:26Didn't mean to upset you.
15:29I'm an idiot.
15:31Don't be.
15:33It's not your fault.
15:34Sometimes I'm fine and then sometimes it just...
15:39It hits me.
15:40Well, you had a good thing, didn't you?
15:42I nearly messed it up for you.
15:46Just wish I could stop making the same mistakes.
15:51You know, sometimes I want to reach into my head.
15:54Take my brain out.
15:55Get a new one.
15:57Good luck with that.
15:59You meant a lot to me, though.
16:03You know that, didn't you?
16:07I weren't just...
16:08No, I know.
16:12I wasn't hard with you.
16:16That was a long time ago.
16:17Yeah, I know, but I still miss it sometimes.
16:20I still miss you.
16:24You miss that time.
16:26Being younger, the kids, your family, not just me.
16:31What do you think?
16:33Well, yeah, I feel the same.
16:36Sometimes.
16:40But Martin...
16:43Martin was the love of my life.
16:46Yeah.
16:47Yeah.
16:51What about now?
16:55Well, now I'm all on me own.
16:58Me too.
17:02It's funny seeing you, Stace.
17:06It just makes me want to stick around.
17:09For what?
17:10I don't know, Stace.
17:12Just see.
17:13See what happens.
17:15Nothing's gonna happen, Max.
17:18Not between me and you, I guarantee it.
17:21Yeah.
17:24Probably right.
17:28Just two old mates, aren't we?
17:29Shooting the breeze.
17:30Exactly.
17:31Probably.
17:48I think you should go.
17:53Is that what you want?
17:54You bothering you?
18:04No.
18:06We're just having a quick drink and a ketchup.
18:09Old times.
18:11You leaving?
18:13No.
18:14Ain't finished my wine yet.
18:16Stace.
18:17You want him to stay?
18:18It's late.
18:19You add up?
18:21Yeah, I probably should get back to the wedding.
18:23It was nice to see you.
18:24Yeah, it was.
18:26Oh, if you ever fancy a glass of cheap prosecco, you know where I am.
18:28You're okay?
18:30Mm.
18:31I'm good.
18:32Looks like I got here just in time.
18:33Nothing's gonna happen.
18:35I don't know.
18:36You're good.
18:37You're all good.
18:39And I'm looking back to the wedding.
18:40I'm looking back to the wedding.
18:42It was nice to see you.
18:43Yeah, it was.
18:45Oh, if you ever fancy a glass of cheap prosecco, you know where I am.
18:49You okay?
18:51Oh. I'm good.
18:53Looks like I got here just in time.
18:55Nothing was gonna happen.
18:57You sure about that?
19:10What are you doing?
19:12Going out.
19:14Out.
19:15Out where?
19:16Out with Maze.
19:17Meeting up in town, I'm sure I told you.
19:20No.
19:22Oh, sorry. I must have forgot.
19:25You're okay here with the kids?
19:27Yeah.
19:30You know, I'll get something going soon.
19:33Get some cash.
19:35I was thinking as well we could all go away.
19:37Right.
19:38I'll believe you.
19:40Have a good night.
19:50Listen.
19:51Spoke to Ravi.
19:52Okay?
19:53We're off the hook.
19:54Yeah, he don't need the flat no more.
19:55So he can just go back to us.
19:56Alright?
19:57It'll be chill.
19:58Yeah?
19:59Takeaways.
20:00Couple of beers.
20:01Me and you in front of the console.
20:02The way it should have been.
20:03And Oki too?
20:04Maybe not so much.
20:05Just seeing as we ain't doing business here anymore.
20:07Hey.
20:08You still got me.
20:09Alright?
20:10Best mates, yeah?
20:11Alright.
20:12Me and Gina, we're gonna go away for a couple of days.
20:13Alright?
20:14So any emergencies, you just give me a bell.
20:15But if not, I'll see you soon.
20:17You have a good time.
20:18Thanks, bro.
20:19You too.
20:20I'll see you soon, alright?
20:22See ya.
20:23Be good.
20:24You know you can't be trusted, right?
20:25Yeah, I'm not sure.
20:26No.
20:27No.
20:28No.
20:29No.
20:30No.
20:31No.
20:32No.
20:33No.
20:34No.
20:35No.
20:36No.
20:37No.
20:38No.
20:39No.

20:43No.
20:44No.
20:45No.
20:46No.
20:48You've got to be careful.
20:49He says everything's okay.
20:51He says that.
20:52By an end, he's just gonna let you down.
20:54Don't worry.
20:55You've still got me.
20:57Hmm?
20:58I've got big plans for you.
21:00I've got to get a chance for the wedding.
21:02No.
21:03No, no, no, no.
21:04That's not happening.
21:05No.
21:06Got something on.
21:08Something important.
21:09Hmm.
21:13Got a little job for you.
21:15you don't still like it yeah no of course not but there's something yeah there'd always be something
21:35I mean we've been for a lot together but that was ages ago things paid so you couldn't see
21:40yourself together as a couple with Max no Max is like well Max is exciting and unpredictable
21:51that ain't what I want I get it but what if he was around every day and which ones hey I just think
21:59you'd be tempted maybe I would but so what you know what he's like he's a player think how bad
22:07you'd feel about Martin maybe you should get on that flight after all what go to Brazil tonight
22:16I mean it's all bought and paid for is it really a good idea to stick around here risk seeing Max
22:23every day in your face falling into old patterns I mean we've all done it but what you need is a
22:30break from the past well no I've I've made my mind up you know I've told the kids mum needs me I'm
