00:12Remind me again why it's my job to paint the windowsills.
00:15We've got a business to run.
00:16Because you've got to paint the rent somehow?
00:18Oh, don't worry. It's time for it to run out.
00:20Oh, mother, please.
00:21It's bad enough watching you two mooning over your cornflakes.
00:23No, no, no, Harvey, you can't just slap it on willingly.
00:25You've got to wash the paintwork down first with soapy water.
00:27Yeah, I've done this before, Ian.
00:29You could have fooled me.
00:31Oh.
00:32Yeah, look, I know I can't just talk to him.
00:34All right, yes, I know it's a detention centre.
00:37I just want you to get a message to him, that's all.
00:40Just tell him that I'm sorting out a place for when he gets out and...
00:44and that I love him.
00:46All right?
00:47That's in a bad way.
00:49Not as bad as Vicky looks after what his son did to her.
00:52What exactly?
00:53He was told to attack Vicky, not Ross.
00:56He was just, you know, protecting his son.
00:58Well, he failed, didn't he, Harvey?
01:00Because if he had it done, Vicky wouldn't have had seven bells beaten out of her.
01:03It's never that sin, obviously.
01:04Hasn't it?
01:05Well, it looks pretty simple to me.
01:07Oh.
01:08Oh.
01:09Hey.
01:10How's that?
01:11It's a shame we can't get no ventilation in here.
01:12Oh.
01:13Oh.
01:14Well, hey.
01:15How's that?
01:16It's a shame we can't get no ventilation in here.
01:17Oh.
01:18Oh.
01:19Oh.
01:20Oh.
01:21Oh.
01:22Oh.
01:23Oh.
01:24Oh.
01:25Oh.
01:26Oh.
01:27Oh, hey.
01:29Oh, hey.
01:31Hazza,
01:33Jamie can't get no ventilation in here.
01:36How come?
01:39I've been treating you well.
01:41Yeah, man.
01:43Yeah?
01:44What, you forgotten already?
01:46It was like, yeah, you're going to your brain and make you weak.
01:48Ravi's gone.
01:50Hmm?
01:51I'm in charge, yeah?
01:53You're a junk.
01:55Gina don't seem to think so.
01:57Huh?
01:59Yeah, she's been out all night texting me.
02:02What's it?
02:03Meet you at the Vic at 1.
02:06She loves putting them heart emotions as well, don't you?
02:09Stay away from her.
02:11What?
02:12Oh.
02:13The strong survive and the weak waste the way to...
02:18Something like that.
02:20Natural selection though, innit?
02:24Anyways.
02:27Got a sprint?
02:28Don't want to keep her waiting.
02:30Oh, no.
02:32You don't worry about Gina, yeah?
02:35You leave her to me.
02:37Keep your dirty hands off for Gina.
02:39Shh.
02:40Shh.
02:41Shh.
02:42Shh.
02:43Shh.
03:01Shh.
03:03Shh.
03:05No, no, it needs to be in Walford. I need to be near my boy.
03:15Yeah, yeah, thanks for nothing.
03:18Hey, don't stop on my account.
03:27I'm going to watch Kathy don't catch you talking to me.
03:35I remember when Aaron was a kid, he used to take me and watch Spurs play.
03:44His face when they scored.
03:47That joy.
03:50Like he was low in, you know, I wish I was stuck at a ball then.
03:56And then...
03:57He was gone.
04:00And I try to remember the exact moment when I lost him.
04:06I play it over and over in my head.
04:09And then I do.
04:12It makes me so angry.
04:14So hateful.
04:20Anyway, mate, you, uh...
04:23You must be exhausted.
04:24You don't know what way's up right now, but...
04:28You know, once the dust has settled and you've found your feet.
04:33There's a fat chance of that.
04:36There's no flux going and...
04:39And right now, me bed's a bench in the sympathy yard.
04:45Well, then come and stay with us.
04:47At least for a few days.
04:48Kathy's not going to want me anywhere near here, mate.
04:52Yeah.
04:53She's angry, but she's not unreasonable.
04:57I will swear it.
05:04I don't know what to say.
05:06Yeah.
05:07Get your stuff.
05:07Come on.
05:08Oh, hiya.
05:18Oh, hi.
05:19Hi.
05:19How is everything?
05:20Uh, yeah.
05:21He's having a good day today.
05:23Thanks for yesterday.
05:24Um, can I make it up to you?
05:26Oh, it's no need.
05:27Yeah, I'd like to.
05:28Can I meet you down the vic later?
05:30Yep, OK, lovely.
05:31Great.
05:32Text you.
05:32OK.
05:38You're a very lucky boy.
05:42Just spoke to Lauren.
05:43She said she can get nine grand for the Morris.
05:46You're kidding.
05:47Well, she said eight, but I know we can get her up.
05:51Result, eh?
05:52Oh, what?
05:53You're joking.
05:54What's happened now?
05:55The end of my career.
05:56That is what has happened.
05:57So, yesterday in the Albert, I wrote a draft business proposal
06:00telling my clients that I was going to leave the firm
06:04and to come in on my own set-up.
06:05Well, when was all this?
06:07When we were three sheets to the wind.
06:09Well, it was just a draft, though, right?
06:10I must have pressed send and said a save.
06:12It went to all my contacts, including my boss.
06:15He wants me in the office, and I'm already on my final warning.
06:18I was thinking of asking Jazz on a proper date.
06:22Maybe cinema?
06:26Top ten rom-coms of all time.
06:28Which do you think she liked the most?
06:32Hello.
06:33Who, maestro?
06:34I'm sorry.
06:35I was just, um, thinking about the old car, you know, freedom, open road.
06:45I won't have that ever again.
06:47Mm-mm.
06:49But they haven't taken your licence away yet, have they?
06:53What do you reckon?
06:54One last spin.
06:55Look, Ross wouldn't dare show his face round here.
07:01And if he does, he'll get my stiletto on his bribe.
07:04There you go.
07:05Thanks, girl.
07:06How'd you get on?
07:07All arranged.
07:09What's arranged?
07:11We're taking him away for a few days.
07:14No.
07:14No.
07:15No.
07:19Late district.
07:19You could have asked me.
07:26Look, being in the house where it happened, it's...
07:28It's not going to help you heal, darling.
07:31Yeah.
07:32A few days away, a bit of fresh air, do us all the world of good.
07:36I wonder where he slept last night.
07:39It's not your problem, darling.
07:40I can't just switch off my feelings.
07:44Vicky, you have been dealing with this for months.
07:48By the time you started looking after number one.
07:50You need this, Vicky.
07:51By the time we get back, Ross and that son of his will be long gone.
07:55What do you say?
07:58Come here.
08:01Here, Nan.
08:03Cheers.
08:04Where's Tommy?
08:05It's going to take time, isn't it?
08:07It's bad to be talk of the square.
08:08He told me that jail was assaulting women,
08:11filming it and posting it.
08:14Sick.
08:14Yeah, it is sick.
08:16It's a shame it took a woman getting beaten to a pulp
08:18for Tommy to speak up.
08:19Put 50p in your slot.
08:21That Ross knew exactly what his son was doing
08:23and he did nothing about it.
08:26My Tommy's no saint,
08:27but he ain't to blame for what that jail did.
08:29Sure.
08:29If he was to blame,
08:30the old bill would have arrested him.
08:32So before you open your gob again,
08:34make sure you get your facts right.
08:38Oh, where's your action, man?
08:40You usually joined at the Ips.
08:42Oh, well, he's got an AWOMO, hasn't he?
08:43Not that he's missed.
08:45Takes after his granddad.
08:47Stevie had his wicked way with me
08:48and then run to the hills.
08:50Well, that's not my problem anymore.
08:52Cheers, though.
08:53I was married to a Mitchell and taken from me.
08:55You could do better.
08:56Thanks.
08:57Oh, man, you look amazing.
09:02Thanks.
09:04Right, I'll have your finest bottle of shampoos
09:07and a lemonade.
09:09Ooh, big spender.
09:10I like your style.
09:11Yeah, I'll just have a bottle of beer, though.
09:12Thanks, Kat.
09:13All right, man.
09:14OK, I'll have your finest beer and a lemonade.
09:16All right.
09:18I'm going to go grab us a table.
09:19I'll come over, yeah?
09:20Now, this silt is made of stone.
09:26This silt is made of wood.
09:28Yeah, I'm not blinding it.
09:29And because it is made of wood,
09:30you need to sand out any imperfections, OK?
09:33Then you apply the primer
09:34and then you apply two coats of paint.
09:37In the time it's taken to explain it,
09:38I could have done it.
09:39Oh.
09:41Ian, I had a chat with Ross earlier.
09:45Yeah, I'm surprised he's still around.
09:48He's vulnerable.
09:49You know, you need support.
09:51Support?
09:52I've seen Vicky's face.
09:55Look, Joel's not the first kid to go off the rails.
09:57Are you?
09:58Ooh, still hard at it.
10:00Oh, I thought you was out for a day.
10:03No, change of plan.
10:03We're taking Vicky to the lakes for a few days,
10:06you know, for a breather.
10:09Sharon's out getting bits.
10:10Right, well, can't you get bits of the lakes?
10:13I mean, we'd get a move on that.
10:15Slow down, Harvey.
10:16What, you trying to get rid of us?
10:19What the hell are you doing, Ian?
10:25What are you doing?
10:31Oh, no, no, no.
10:33Say you didn't.
10:33Well, I just thought,
10:34especially as you're going to be away for a few days,
10:36all you thought wrong, okay?
10:38I don't want you anywhere near my family, all right?
10:40So, look, just...
10:42So take your rubbish and get lost, all right?
10:44Oh, Ian, there's no need for that.
10:45I don't want to leave you or your son anywhere near Walker.
10:48You want to watch your mouth.
10:49Mate, you only make it worse.
10:52This has got nothing to do with you.
10:53Please.
11:02Don't even think about it.
11:03How many of you are dads?
11:16Our parents.
11:20And how many of your sons have got a mobile?
11:23Do you know what they're watching right now?
11:32Do you?
11:37Only one minute,
11:38you're teaching them how to ride a bike,
11:40and that's scary enough,
11:42but, you know,
11:42you can't wrap them in cotton wool forever, can you?
11:44And then the next thing,
11:48you've got this twisted freak
11:49in their ear,
11:51filling their head with all this crap
11:53about what it takes to be a real man.
12:00Then my boy did some terrible things,
12:02and I want to get my hands around his neck,
12:04and I want to throttle him.
12:06And I'll ask him,
12:07how could you have been so stupid?
12:12I turned him in.
12:14I shot my home son to the police.
12:20I handed him his laptop
12:22with all that vile stuff on it.
12:26But apparently that ain't enough for you lot.
12:30Yeah, you can
12:31write him off,
12:33turn your back on him.
12:35I can't blame him for that.
12:42But what would you do?
12:44Eh?
12:47What would you do if this was happening to your family?
12:56I did everything I could.
13:00I can't give up on Joel.
13:02Yeah, you all right, Ross?
13:08You did everything you could.
13:11For him.
13:11Oh, Kathy.
13:12No, no.
13:13But you did nothing
13:15to protect the women he abused.
13:18You knew what your son was up to
13:19for months.
13:20You knew it,
13:23and you kept it to yourself.
13:26And now,
13:27all those women,
13:28they have to live with what your son did to them.
13:33So whatever you did, Ross,
13:35it weren't enough.
13:36Come on, Kath.
13:37That's enough now.
13:38Let's go.
13:38Let's go.
13:38You're not setting one foot
13:47inside my house.
13:48Just...
13:48Just leave.
13:50What's the point?
13:53It's always right.
13:56I am, brother.
13:57Jasmin.
14:12Okay, hear me out.
14:14I was thinking we could do a date,
14:16like,
14:16old school.
14:17I'm listening.
14:18They have a season of old classic rom-coms
14:20at the picture house.
14:21I was thinking pretty woman.
14:23Richard Gere.
14:25God broke the mold when he made that, man.
14:26What, the one about the sex worker
14:28and the millionaire?
14:29Yeah, it's romantic.
14:30I can watch it on repeat.
14:31Okay, you're ruining it.
14:33Well, it looks like you've, uh,
14:35got yourself a date.
14:37I see you.
14:39No, I grew up in Marbella.
14:41My mum and dad ran a bar,
14:42so we helped out.
14:43It's been a while, didn't it?
14:45We've got tattoos to prove it.
14:47Hi, yeah.
14:47Where?
14:50Oh, come on.
14:50You've got to show me now.
14:51No, no.
14:52This is a family-friendly bar,
14:53thank you.
14:54All right.
14:55No, yeah, I get that vibe.
14:56Yeah.
14:57Hey, listen, next day I'm taking you out west.
15:00What, the next day?
15:01Mm-hmm.
15:02Dinner,
15:03rooftop bar,
15:04members club,
15:05you know, the finest.
15:07All right, well, I've,
15:08I've shown you mine,
15:09so now you've got to show me yours.
15:10You ain't shown me nothing yet.
15:12I met my family.
15:17Ain't nothing to sell.
15:20No, mum.
15:23Dad, brothers, sisters.
15:24Okay, so this is just a one-way thing, is it?
15:29I'm kind of, I'm kind of done with the silent, moody type, so.
15:37Well, I dearly know my pops until I was nine, so.
15:43Mum says he was never any good, but when I did meet him,
15:47that guy demanded respect, you know?
15:52Hmm.
15:53He showed me off to everyone.
15:56Spore me as well, but me trainers, clothes, you know?
16:00Treat me like a king.
16:01He died when I was 14.
16:12Word on road is he got stabbed with his own knife
16:14in some petty scuffle.
16:17And after that, mum just, um...
16:22She just snapped.
16:25Got missing for days on end.
16:33Left me and my brother to take care of our little sister,
16:36the giant, by ourselves.
16:40No love.
16:43No help.
16:48I'm really sorry that happened to you.
16:49I've got out, though.
16:58Survived.
17:02The sun's blazing down on me now, though, right?
17:05Yep.
17:06Yeah, it is.
17:09Come on!
17:10Come on, please!
17:11Come on, please!
17:19Hey.
17:41How's Vicky?
17:42You care about Vicky now, do you?
17:45Of course I do.
17:46I don't be like that.
17:47Oh, is that why you invite that man into our house?
17:49Look, I can care about Vicky and Ross at the same time, can't I?
17:53And did you really have to call him out like that in front of everyone?
17:56Do you know what?
17:57I think it's a good job I'm going away.
17:59Before me and you fall out.
18:02You're, uh...
18:03You're staying in my house, aren't you?
18:05Don't forget that.
18:06Oh, why did him, will you?
18:07Ross ain't the one that's banged up, is he?
18:09Well, Joe had to get it from somewhere.
18:11I mean, it's bad gene pool if you ask me.
18:13I mean, Vicky is well shot.
18:14Didn't you protect Bobby?
18:16I mean, despite everything he'd done,
18:17you hid the truth from everyone.
18:19Right, because deep down inside, you knew there was good in him.
18:22I've done the same with Aaron, but...
18:25Here we are, and we get to...
18:26to argue about painting a window,
18:28so we get to have a pint with our community
18:29while Ross is in the gutter.
18:32Aren't we lucky?
18:34Yeah, I'm going to the Vic.
18:35You can do the last coat.
18:36Oh, I've got your text.
18:42You ready?
18:43Uh, ready for what?
18:45We were going to...
18:46Oh, mate!
18:48You've been turned over?
18:50No.
18:51I'm looking for something.
18:52Looking for what?
18:55Could it be the car keys?
18:57One last spin, remember?
18:58Car keys.
18:59Yes.
19:00Yeah.
19:01Oh, look at this mess.
19:04It's OK?
19:05No, it's not, though, is it?
19:06What's Julie going to think?
19:08OK, well, you...
19:10Uh...
19:11Oh, oh, yeah.
19:14No.
19:15All right.
19:17Sit there.
19:20Julie always wanted to go to India,
19:23see the Taj Mahal.
19:25We've been saving for years,
19:27but then...
19:28Nigel, you told me this yesterday, remember?
19:31Right.
19:34I'm back!
19:36Oh, God.
19:37I'm exhausted.
19:38I've got you those...
19:40brandies that you like.
19:45Oh, my...
19:46It's OK.
19:47Nigel was looking for something
19:49and got a bit carried away.
19:50Car keys?
19:51I was going to take the car for one last spin.
19:53No, no.
19:54He was just going to show me the engine.
19:56Nigel.
19:57Nigel.
19:58You can't drive.
19:59You know that.
20:04I keep hold of them.
20:07See?
20:07I've told you that.
20:08Yeah, I'm sorry.
20:12Right.
20:14Never mind.
20:16Let's get this place tied it up, then, shall we?
20:18No.
20:19We'll sort it.
20:20Right, Nigel?
20:21Yeah.
20:22You sit...
20:24I'm supposed to be meeting Gene.
20:30So, go.
20:34OK.
20:35What was I supposed to do?
20:47No, I've been raising him on my own.
20:51Yeah, no, I know exactly what you meant.
20:53Yeah, cheers for the support.
20:54Means a lot.
20:55Are you OK?
20:56Oh, well, you're concerned now, are you?
21:00Yeah, I saw you gulping earlier.
21:03Enjoy the shows, yeah?
21:04Of course not.
21:05I'm just concerned.
21:06Oh, just do one, mate.
21:07Sorry.
21:08That hurt your feelings.
21:13So, where are you now?
21:16Oh, do you know what?
21:17I'm actually up kind of beat.
21:18All right, well, like I said, Harry's a fool.
21:24If I had a girl like you, I'd never let her go.
21:33Johnny!
21:34You heard anything?
21:35Oh, he's heard all right.
21:36Yep, sacked.
21:37With immediate effect, gross misconduct,
21:39and zero chance of her efforts.
21:42They're joking.
21:43I am so sorry.
21:44Yeah, all those years of graft down the drain.
21:46Don't worry, Dolly, some people turn up.
21:47And in the meantime,
21:48you can help with the boutique hotel.
21:51Fantastic.
21:54Yeah, I mean, he's a nice guy.
21:57But?
21:59But he said Harry's a fool.
22:01I mean, I know he ain't.
22:03He chased me for months, and...
22:06In Brighton, like, we got really close.
22:08It wasn't just like a fling.
22:11Gina.
22:12I'm sorry, but this is textbook ghosting.
22:16No, no, it ain't.
22:17I know ghosting, and this isn't it.
22:21Something's off.
22:25Okay.
22:26Right.
22:28You ready?
22:32Watch this.
22:34Julie?
22:34Julie?
22:36Um...
22:36By way of apology for earlier.
22:41Indian take away.
22:43Well, I've...
22:44Just got on that for beginning.
22:46Yeah, no.
22:47It's, um...
22:48It's a taster...
22:50For our trip to India.
22:55I'm a what?
22:57You've had to put up with a lot from me.
23:00So, um...
23:02I wanted you to have something to look forward to.
23:07Um...
23:07Because I love you.
23:10And you deserve it.
23:12So, I'm selling a car,
23:14and it's time to turn our dream into reality.
23:19Delhi, Jaipur, Agra.
23:21The Cordon Triangle.
23:25But really.
23:26Really.
23:27And before our real trip to India,
23:30I thought I'd give you a taste of India.
23:34Oh, God.
23:35Oh, you big softy.
23:37So, you're both going to India?
23:41Of course we're both going to India.
23:44Thank you, sir.
23:47It all gets cold.
23:55He can hardly find his way to Stratford on the 108.
23:59How's he going to get to bleed in India?
24:05What, so, is that your side hustle, yeah?
24:06Reconnecting pensions.
24:08You don't fool me, Jasmine.
24:09I see you.
24:10I knew you were a sucker for romance, Ria.
24:12I don't have to prove myself much more to get to your home.
24:14Oh, is that right?
24:15Yeah.
24:16Maybe.
24:18Anyway,
24:19I guess asking you to see a film about a hooker...
24:22Sex worker.
24:22Sex worker wasn't a great move, but...
24:26How come?
24:27Really?
24:28Yeah, sure.
24:30Pretty woman.
24:31But I'm paying.
24:33I'm a modern man.
24:34I have absolutely no issues with her.
24:36Come on, mate.
24:47Oh, thank you.
24:48Boss?
24:49Oh, man, mate.
24:50Oh, no, no, no, I'm all right.
24:52Come on, god.
24:53He's wasting.
24:54It's fine, it's fine.
24:56That cut looks nasty.
24:57Come on, let's have it up.
24:58Come on, mate.
24:59Nice to see you.
25:00Come on, mate.
25:01Come on, mate.
25:01Yeah.
25:02Come on.
25:02You never told me how funny Gina is.
25:21Oh man.
25:23Got pretty wild.
25:25Yeah.
25:26She can handle abuse as well.
25:32But you know, my favourite bit of the date was tracing my finger along her tattoo.
25:42Oh man, she was quivering.
25:47I think that's her sweet spot.
25:56I swear, I'm gonna kill you.
26:02Nah.
26:05Nah, I don't think you.
26:09Look at me.
26:12No one's coming for you.
26:17Not your family.
26:19Not Gina.
26:21No one's gonna miss you when you're gone.
26:24Not your family.
26:25Not Gina.
26:26No one's gonna miss you when you're gone.
26:31No one's gonna miss you when you're gone.
26:46She's dropping Albie at Zach.
26:47She won't be not.
26:48Yeah, he likes looking after Albie.
26:49He's a good bloke.
26:50Listen, I'm sorry about earlier.
26:51Alright, but you've got to stop feeling guilty about Ross.
26:52He can look after himself.
26:53Yeah, let's just get going, eh?
26:54In you go!
26:55Uh, just give me a minute, alright?
26:56No, you have got to be joking.
26:58I've got to be joking.
26:59I've got to be joking.
27:00I've got to be joking.
27:01I've got to be a waste of all time.
27:02You've got to be a waste of all time and a lot of money.
27:20I've got to be a waste of all time.
27:22Yeah, well I can see that.
27:23I think he's taken care of, Kath.
27:24If anything happens to me, what's that gonna do it?
27:29If the only thing that happens to him, what's that gonna do at Vicky?
27:32Oh, nice try, Harvey. But he ain't staying here yet.
27:34Mum, he is.
27:36What? What after everything he's done?
27:38He's hit rock bottom, okay?
27:41Look, I know what that's like. I've been there.
27:44You both have.
27:49Come on, Kath.
27:51We missed the train.
27:53You better pray that Sharon and Vicky don't find out.
27:59Whatever.
28:03The train.
28:04Let's go.
28:05I have to go.
28:08I will do it.
28:09I will do it.
28:10I will do it.
28:11It will be very long.
28:12I will come to Paris.
28:13I will come to Paris.
28:15Oh, that's right.
28:15Toyself.
28:17Clear.
28:18Just go to Paris.
28:19Can Paris want to go to Paris in Paris.
28:21You got here.
28:23All of the things we did here.
28:25Let's go.
28:26Toyself.
