00:00Stacey, I swear, all right, it's not right.
00:30It's not what it looks like.
00:31No.
00:32You've been back five minutes and already you're sniffing out fresh meat.
00:35What is wrong with you?
00:36I'm talking about it.
00:37And you!
00:38You!
00:39How low are you gonna get, eh?
00:40Trying to get in my head and manipulate me and for what, for him?
00:42No, no, of course not.
00:43You were just doing it in there, telling me to go.
00:46Telling me you support me and you'll look out for Lily, all so you can crack on with
00:49some bloke you don't even know.
00:51I do know him.
00:52Oh, what?
00:53You're only five minutes and you've got his number?
00:55We were together.
00:57Before.
00:58What?
01:01Me and him.
01:02Before I came here.
01:03What are you talking about?
01:04So can I explain?
01:05No, I wanna hear it from her.
01:06We met in a bar and we had it off and we got together.
01:10And he started helping me.
01:12Helping me look for my son.
01:18You didn't think to mention that, no?
01:24Sorry.
01:25It's none of your business.
01:26It's private.
01:27It still is.
01:28I don't think so.
01:29Not anymore.
01:30Stacey.
01:31Stacey.
01:32Stacey, go.
01:33Stacey.
01:34Stacey, come outside and I'll talk about it.
01:35Did you know?
01:36About these two, they're an item.
01:38Yeah, together.
01:39They were together before, did you know?
01:40So is this true?
01:41What difference does it make?
01:42They ain't together now.
01:43They ain't been together for years.
02:07She's just sat there and persuaded me to leave, telling me to go to Brazil, all so she could
02:08have him.
02:09When did this happen?
02:10Just now.
02:11believe I was even stupid enough to let you in my house. Not stupid. Desperate. Sad, I'd say.
02:17What'd you say? Look, this is a wedding. If you want a ruck, go outside. It was him, wasn't it?
02:22You were talking about it in the car the other day. It was him. What difference does it make,
02:25Stace? You want him back? No, I don't. Well, it don't look that way.
02:31You're thinking about him and me so much, you clearly don't love Martin as much as you say.
02:37Hello! Stace, stop! What's going on, Stace? Don't you dare breathe his name!
02:41You ain't fit to lick his boots!
02:55Hello.
02:58Hiya. You been somewhere nice?
03:02Oh, not really.
03:04Hi.
03:05Oh, I've just been for a meeting about some old cleaning work.
03:11It's me. Yeah, I just got your message. I'm on the tube, so we might get cut.
03:26You need to get back here now. Stacey and Zoe have had a ruck. It's all kicking off.
03:32The fuck's back.
03:33Are you still there?
03:34Yeah. Can you hear me? Mum? Mum?
03:43You know you're going to have to wait until we get to the next station.
03:46You know this is my wedding, Martin and Peter's. You can't help but make it all about you.
04:01What, you think I wanted all this, Laura? I ain't done nothing wrong, have I?
04:04Apart from messing with my daughter.
04:06Don't talk about messing with your daughter.
04:08We're in a relationship, all right? The fact she ain't told you that, Kat. It's got nothing to do with me.
04:11Is this true? You and him and I am?
04:14Was, yeah.
04:15How? How did that happen?
04:18Look, we met, all right? I was helping her try and find her kid.
04:21Didn't do a very good job, did you?
04:22Yeah, Mum.
04:22Yeah? What she put out?
04:24I liked him. I liked him a lot.
04:27Is that true?
04:28Quite frankly, Kat, all right? This is none of your business.
04:30I'm her mum.
04:31Yeah, we've done a great job of that, haven't you?
04:33You should be really proud of yourself.
04:34She lied to me, Lily.
04:37They were together before.
04:39All that stuff about me going to Brazil, that was just to get rid of me.
04:44Mum, it doesn't matter.
04:46It doesn't matter.
04:47It doesn't matter. She is family.
04:49Lily, she's supposed to care.
04:52And as for him...
04:54Mum, the only thing that's important now is that you do what you want to do.
05:01You could still catch that flight.
05:02Mum, you could still go.
05:20It's true.
05:21I had strong feelings for him.
05:24And when I saw him tonight, I just thought, maybe I still do.
05:29It felt right.
05:30No.
05:30You're not going there, all right? Not him.
05:33Max Branning is the last thing you need.
05:37You don't get to decide that, Kat.
05:39Ain't you learnt that by now?
05:41Zoe...
05:42She don't want to talk to you.
05:44Lily, please, all right? I only need a minute.
05:46It's all right.
05:48I'll talk to him.
05:49You don't have to.
05:50It's fine.
05:50Let's not go round the houses.
06:12Let's not go round the houses.
06:16Just say what you've got to say and make it quick.
06:19I should have told you.
06:22Didn't.
06:23Because I promised Zoe that I'd keep shtum because she didn't want anyone to know about us.
06:26That's why you're chewing her face off outside the village.
06:28No, she came on to me, Stace, all right?
06:29She virtually forced us out.
06:31Ain't your girlfriend, Max, and ain't your wife, Eva.
06:32So who come on to who?
06:33I don't really care.
06:35What are you acting like you do?
06:36You were in a relationship that you failed to mention.
06:40I thought we had a good chat, me and you.
06:46Yeah, it's just the same old, isn't it?
06:47And Zoe, Zoe just messed with my head.
06:49Yeah, well, that's Zoe, isn't it?
06:51Ain't me.
06:51No, it's you.
06:52It's what happens when you are around.
06:54Well, that ain't, Stace, all right, because I've changed.
06:55I have changed.
06:56Yeah, looks like it.
06:59Look, I still care about you.
07:02It's crazy, all right?
07:03I've still got feelings for you.
07:04I know it's been a long time.
07:05I don't even know what they are exactly, what they mean.
07:10It was me on the phone, all right, when you was in the hospital.
07:15Heard your voice, that was it.
07:16I knew I had to see you, and then Lauren was getting married,
07:18and that was it.
07:21I was intrigued.
07:22So you didn't want to see her?
07:24Zoe?
07:25Yeah, maybe, a little bit.
07:27But then I saw you in the pub, and that was it.
07:29It was like a punch to the gut.
07:36I felt what it is, Stace.
07:37I felt, yeah, all right, I felt something real.
07:40I didn't.
07:42And I don't.
07:44Not now, for sure.
07:47Mate, do you know that?
07:48Can you hear yourself?
07:49It has been years and years and years,
07:51and now you want to talk about feelings and me and you.
07:54There is no me and you, Max.
07:57That was a long time ago.
07:59That is just some fantasy in your thick head.
08:02I've thought about it for years.
08:04Me and you, we're old news.
08:06Yeah, well, what if I stick around?
08:07Are you listening?
08:08No, I'm thinking of staying in Warford.
08:10You know, I've got half my family here.
08:11I've got kids, grandkids.
08:14Just feel like I want to give it a go.
08:15Oh, right, you want to give me a go?
08:16I didn't say that, did I?
08:18All I know is, right, we're both free for the first time.
08:20Why don't we just spend a bit of time together?
08:26See, we still get on.
08:27Just give me a chance here to prove that I'm different and I've changed.
08:30I don't need time to see who you are, Max.
08:33I know.
08:36Anyway, I'm leaving tonight.
08:40Get a cab to the airport so you can stick around on your own.
08:43Well, you don't have to go.
08:44Yes, I do.
08:46And you can say what you want to try and get me to change my mind, but it ain't gonna work.
08:50If you think you've got a shot, you are out of your mind.
08:54Now do me a favour and get out.
09:00Go on, walk out that door and don't ever walk back through it again.
09:05Please.
09:24I'm losing the will to live here.
09:26Yeah.
09:27It does feel like we've been stuck for such a long time.
09:31Serves me right for lying.
09:33Ian, Terry?
09:36To Ravi.
09:37I told him I was going into town to see some mates.
09:40Got all dressed up.
09:43I've just been riding on the tube.
09:48What did you do that for?
09:50Make him jealous.
09:53Sometimes women just have to use their womanly wiles.
09:57Jean, you do realise you can't call in a tunnel?
09:59It's pointless even trying.
10:00Yeah.
10:00Things are kicking off at home, Stacey and Zoe.
10:06I'm sure they'll be fine.
10:07No, they won't be.
10:08You don't know Zoe.
10:10And look, Stacey just sent me this.
10:13Call me, exclamation mark.
10:14I mean, what does that mean?
10:16Who knows?
10:17Look, I'm sure the train's gonna start moving soon.
10:19What if it doesn't?
10:24What if something's happened?
10:26God.
10:27It's so hot in here.
10:29Jean, are you all right?
10:30No.
10:32Jean.
10:33OK, calm down.
10:34Everything's gonna be fine.
10:36OK, I think you're just having a little panic attack, OK?
10:39Yeah.
10:40Just calm down.
10:41Yeah, I don't know.
10:42I don't feel so good.
10:42Ain't you gone yet?
10:48I need your help.
10:49To what you did, forget it.
10:50No, it was Stacey, not Zoe.
10:52It's all your daughter's fault.
10:53She's the one who's grabbing me, snogging me.
10:55Oh, you poor little flower.
10:57Did my little girl come on to you?
10:58You just didn't know what to do.
11:00You're toying with both of them.
11:01You're playing games and I ain't having it.
11:03Well, that ain't true.
11:04I'm gonna see Stacey.
11:05Tell her to keep her distance.
11:06And when I get back, it'd be really lovely if you weren't here.
11:10Come on, Alfie.
11:10Can I have a word?
11:22Not now, Alfie, please.
11:24You want to do this in front of everyone?
11:25Your daughter's wedding day?
11:40What do you want?
11:45Say, sorry.
11:46I feel bad about how everything panned out.
11:49It was embarrassing, everyone here in our business.
11:51Yeah, that's great.
11:52Sorry, I ain't really got time for this.
11:53Well, I think it's still worth a shot.
11:55What do you mean, a shot?
11:57Us.
11:58Our relationship.
11:59Or is that off the table, too?
12:03Sorry, what do you want me to say, all right?
12:04I don't think you and me is gonna hate me.
12:07Great.
12:08Fantastic.
12:10Just made my entire family hate me.
12:12For what?
12:13Nothing.
12:14What am I meant to do with that?
12:15I don't know, Zoe.
12:17It's not really my problem, is it?
12:18So...
12:19Listen to me, all right?
12:31You're gonna be okay.
12:35I know you are.
13:01Sean, it's Stace.
13:22I'm coming.
13:24I'm coming tonight, all right?
13:25I'll ring you from the airport.
13:26Are you okay?
13:36Yeah, I just needed a break from the wedding.
13:38I hate happy endings.
13:40Yeah, me too.
13:41Though I never really had one.
13:42Sad, isn't it?
13:44I suppose I'd better get back.
13:46It's not every day someone gets married, is it?
13:48Even if she's a two-faced witch who wrecked my life.
13:50You're touching.
13:51You should make her speak.
13:52Yeah.
13:52Do you know what?
13:53I think I might.
13:54You can meet Oscar's dad, too.
13:57Yeah, he stuck his nose and caused a bunch of havoc.
13:59It was quite funny, actually.
14:00What, Max?
14:01Max Brannan's here?
14:02Yeah.
14:03Yeah, I did a bit.
14:04I guess you guys are related now.
14:06Kind of.
14:14I heard you ruffled some feathers.
14:16Oh, yeah.
14:19It happens, doesn't it?
14:21Yeah.
14:21So, do you want a drink, then?
14:24Stiff drink?
14:26Uh, yeah, go on.
14:27Yeah.
14:28Oh, love, you're underage, isn't it?
14:30Yeah, I know.
14:32Uncle Jack will sort of sell.
14:34You're still going to stick around, yeah?
14:37Yeah, still a possibility, mate.
14:39Very strong possibility.
14:40Yeah.
14:40You can't seriously be staying?
14:48I don't know.
14:50I ain't decided yet.
14:53Right, and you don't tell Oscar that it's a possibility, if it ain't.
14:56It means a lot to him.
14:57I won't, I won't.
15:00Don't really know what I'm doing, Lauren, right?
15:02I'm just trying to sort some stuff out of Stacey, but she's going to Brazil, isn't she?
15:05Stacey.
15:10You and her.
15:14Still.
15:16Now.
15:18Are you insane?
15:22You don't have to do this.
15:23I've sorted Zoe, I've talked to her.
15:25Yeah, well, I didn't go that far.
15:27It's a work in progress.
15:29It'll be all right, everything will be all right, but...
15:32You don't have to go because of her.
15:34I ain't.
15:34I just need a change.
15:36Okay, well, what about Charlie and Lily?
15:38Yeah, we'll be fine.
15:39Like, I've got everyone around me, Nan and everything.
15:41Me and Charlie will be all right, Mum.
15:45This is what you want.
15:48I'll miss you.
15:50I'm going to miss you and all.
15:52I miss you.
15:54Let me just wake Hope and all that.
15:56What about your mum?
15:58Well, I thought she'd be back by now.
15:59I've been calling her.
16:01I think she's on the tube.
16:03Let me try her again.
16:07The little white lie to Ravi is nothing.
16:14I've just put my own needs way above my daughter's.
16:20I don't want her to go to Brazil, you see.
16:24I just don't want to let her go again.
16:26All the things she's done for me over the years.
16:34All the things.
16:35Her little hands, bathing me, washing my hair, feeding me, reading me stories so I could sleep.
16:53Five years old, looking after her mother.
17:03And this is how I repay her.
17:06She wants to get away, you see.
17:13She wants a fresh start and she deserves that.
17:15Oh, I've not been very supportive.
17:26Just finding it really hard to let her go.
17:31You can make that right.
17:32OK, you'll be home soon.
17:35Yeah.
17:36And you can talk to her.
17:37Yeah.
17:38Yeah.
17:39Yeah.
17:39Just seeing her again, you know, just made me realise she's free.
17:54I'm free.
17:55Oh, God.
17:57What's easy for you, isn't it, Laura?
18:00Two kids, marriage, you've got your whole future in front of you.
18:03What have I got?
18:04Nothing.
18:05Just a mess dragging behind me.
18:10Been on my own for a long time.
18:13Since Linda, since I left her.
18:17Searching, searching for something, I don't know what.
18:21I saw Stacey again and just...
18:24just put it all back to me.
18:28You know, what it felt like to be happy.
18:29Well, what about love a girl, then?
18:35Slater number two.
18:35Yeah, it was all right.
18:36It's nice.
18:37It was nice.
18:38Well, it lasted, but...
18:39She's a handful, you know?
18:40She's like me.
18:41It would never last.
18:43You're prophetic, you know?
18:45Well, love ain't simple, Laura.
18:49Can't just control everything, do you know what I mean?
18:51You can't just...
18:52choose what you feel.
18:56You're wrong, Dad.
18:57You...
18:57You can decide.
19:00Mate, that's what you've done with Peter, is it?
19:01Yeah.
19:03Just decided.
19:07You know?
19:10I didn't say that.
19:11No, you didn't have to.
19:14Go on.
19:17You obviously want to say something about me and Peter,
19:19so just say it.
19:21I don't think it's really the right time, Lauren.
19:24Well, I do.
19:25Don't mince your words.
19:29Give it to me straight.
19:34Honest opinion, I think you've made a mistake.
19:36You'll never be happy with Peter, because he ain't enough for you.
19:43Look at you, and look at him.
19:47You know, sadly, you're just like me.
19:48It's exactly what I'd love, Lauren.
19:49Come here, try to make it work with your mum, try to force everything.
19:54Just burn me whole family down.
19:58You all do the same.
19:59No, you're wrong.
20:03You're wrong.
20:04I...
20:04I'm not like you at all.
20:08Why, so who you like?
20:11Well, you like Tanya.
20:13You've always been like me, Lauren.
20:16You know, it was Abby that was like Tanya.
20:17That's the truth.
20:19No.
20:19No, I'm like mum.
20:25I'm much more like mum.
20:26I am nothing like you.
20:28No, right, so you think mum would have, like, blown the whole family up on Christmas Day?
20:32Do you think she would have wrapped up a little video of me and Stacey, giving it as a present?
20:37Do you think she would have done what you've done to Cindy?
20:39Yeah, Jack told me all about that.
20:41Addicted to booze.
20:44Addicted to drugs.
20:45Does that sound like Tanya or does that sound like me?
20:58Well, it don't matter, does it?
21:01It don't matter if I'm like you or not because I choose.
21:06I choose to be different.
21:09I choose, Peter, because that is the life I want.
21:13I don't want your mess of a life.
21:15Well, you just asked...
21:16Just get out!
21:19Just...
21:19Just leave.
21:20I do not want to be anywhere near you.
21:22Go!
21:25What's happened?
21:27Nothing, nothing.
21:28It's just, um...
21:29It's just...
21:31Something's come up and it's business.
21:33It's got to go.
21:33Yeah, okay.
21:34Yeah, stop lying.
21:35What's happened?
21:35What'd you do?
21:38Come on, Oscar.
21:39He was never going to stick around.
21:42It's just...
21:44It was just a fantasy.
21:45It was a dream because this is him.
21:46This is what he does.
21:47You cannot trust a word that he says.
21:50I'm sorry.
21:53That's true.
21:58I just want to be a good dad, mate.
22:00That's all I want.
22:00You know, I'm willing to try.
22:03It's too late.
22:04I love you.
22:14I love you.
22:24I'm sorry, mate.
22:26You know, maybe it was a little bit premature.
22:28You know, me promising to stay and all that.
22:31It's about Stacey Slater.
22:35No, no.
22:36It's just to do with me.
22:40I love you, Oscar.
22:41All right?
22:41I really love you.
22:42But I just don't think it would be good for you or anyone if I'm stuck about.
22:48You're doing well, mate, all right?
22:49You're making a life for yourself.
22:50You don't need me.
22:54Pain, truth.
22:55My life ain't so good, you know?
23:03Look, I've got this tag on my ankle today.
23:08I've got to be home in ten minutes.
23:11Every night it's the same.
23:12It would mean a lot to me if you stuck around me.
23:24Yeah, I know, but I just don't think it's a good idea.
23:28Come on.
23:29Listen, all right?
23:30I ain't the answer.
23:33I'm not the answer.
23:35You find that inside yourself, yeah?
23:38If I stick around, mate, I've just got to mess you up.
23:39That's what I do to everyone.
23:41No.
23:43Don't.
23:45They're off of their meals.
23:50See you around.
23:52Back on.
23:52No, sorry.
23:53That's all right.
23:53That's all right.
23:54That's all right.
24:09You didn't tell me Max Brannan was here.
24:14I...
24:14Yes, I...
24:15He killed my son and he's just strolling around.
24:19Mum, I didn't want to upset you.
24:21Where is he now?
24:24He, um, he left.
24:25Left?
24:26Yeah, he, um, left about 20 minutes ago.
24:28Yeah.
24:29I mean, persona non grata and all that.
24:30I'm sorry, Stace.
24:45I don't want to part on bad terms.
24:48Stace, you can, but you'd better leave now.
24:51What about Mum?
24:52Keep picking up.
24:54Stay.
24:55I'll make it up to you.
24:57I'm going.
24:57I'm going.
25:00Come on here, Stace.
25:08Right.
25:11Hold on, I'll phone you when I get there.
25:12Yeah, make sure you do, sweetheart.
25:13Have a safe journey.
25:23Tell Nanny that I love her, yeah?
25:25Yeah.
25:26And I'll ring her when I get to the airport.
25:28She'll be all right, Mum, I promise.
25:37I love you.
25:38I love you, too.
25:44Be good care of you.
25:45Yeah, girl.
25:48Come here, you.
25:51I miss you so much.
25:54I miss you.
25:55Look after him, yeah.
25:57Yeah, I will, I promise.
26:01All right.
26:04Max, this ain't a good time, mate.
26:06Word out of it.
26:06He's not going to talk to you!
26:09Please, please, don't go.
26:12Please, give me a chance.
26:14Please, I don't want us to part like this, all right?
26:16Can we just sort things out?
26:17Stacey, please.
26:23Bye, Max.
26:28Oh!
26:28What's Max Brannigan doing back?
26:57What's happened?
26:57Where's Stacey?
27:02Ask her.
27:03Please, Jane.
27:23Stop talking!
27:24I don't want to hear any more!
27:25My phone's taken.
27:26I'm going to borrow yours.
27:26Man, she's going to call me an hour from the airport.
27:28Look, it'll be all right.
27:30You'll see.
27:30We can go and visit.
27:31Visit?
27:32It's on the other side of the whole wide world!
27:36You did this!
27:37You made her go!
27:38I did nothing!
27:39That's a lie!
27:39I know you, Zoe Slater.
27:41You're a toxic little madam.
27:43Don't talk to her like that, Jean.
27:44This is my dad!
27:46I want you out of this house.
27:47Pack your bags and go.
27:48Now!
27:48Oh!
27:58Stace, it's me.
28:00Sorry, Stace.
28:01I always mess things up tonight.
28:03You deserve better to me.
28:07So be happy.
28:09Maybe one day we'll see each other again.
28:11Can I speak so strong?
28:14Can I speak so strong?
28:20Can I speak so strong?
28:36Getting the win coming on.
28:46The queens do traitors in an hour.
