00:00THE END
00:14Mind me again why it's my job to paint the windowsills.
00:16I've got a business to run.
00:17Because you've got to pay the rents somehow?
00:19Oh, don't worry. This town's a little run out.
00:21Oh, mother, please.
00:22It's bad enough watching you two mooning over your cornflakes.
00:24No, no, Harvey, you can't just slap it on willingly.
00:26You've got to wash the paintwork down first with soapy water.
00:28Yeah, I've done this before, Ian.
00:30Could've called me.
00:31Oh.
00:32Yeah, look, I know I can't just talk to him.
00:35Yes, I know it's a detention centre.
00:38I just want you to get a message to him, that's all.
00:41Just tell him that I'm sorting out a place for when he gets out,
00:44and that I love him, all right?
00:47That's in a bad way.
00:49Not as bad as Vicky looks after what his son did to her.
00:52Well, exactly.
00:54He was told her to take Vicky, not Ross.
00:56You know, protecting his son.
00:58Well, he failed, didn't he, Harvey?
01:00Because if he hadn't done, Vicky wouldn't have had seven bells beaten out of her.
01:03It's never that simple, isn't it?
01:05Hasn't it?
01:06Well, it looks pretty simple to me.
01:08Well, hey.
01:09How's that?
01:10It's a shame we can't get no ventilation in here.
01:14Oh.
01:15Oh.
01:16Oh.
01:17Oh.
01:18Oh, hey.
01:19How's that?
01:20It's a shame we can't get no ventilation in here.
01:24Oh.
01:25Oh.
01:26Oh.
01:27Oh.
01:28Oh.
01:29Oh.
01:30Oh.
01:31Oh.
01:32Oh.
01:33Oh.
01:34Oh.
01:35Oh.
01:36Oh.
01:37Oh.
01:38Oh.
01:39Oh.
01:40Oh.
01:42You little man.
01:43Yeah?
01:44What?
01:45You forgotten already?
01:46Yeah, you were going to your brain, then make you weak.
01:49Robbie's gone.
01:50I'm in charge, yeah?
01:53You're a jerk.
01:55Oh.
01:56Hmm.
01:57Gina don't seem to think so.
01:58Oh.
01:59Yeah, she's been out all night texting me.
02:02Jackie?
02:03Meet you at the Vic at one.
02:06She loves putting them heart and mortgages as well, don't you?
02:09Stay away from her white uncle.
02:12Oh.
02:13The strong survive and the weak waste away to...
02:18Something like that.
02:20Natural selection, though, innit?
02:24Anyways...
02:26Got a sprint. Don't want to keep her waiting.
02:30Oh, and...
02:32You don't worry about Gina, yeah?
02:35You leave her to me.
02:37Keep your dirty hands off of Gina.
02:39Shh!
03:02No, 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.
03:21I don't want to watch Cathy don't catch you talking to me.
03:34I remember when Aaron was a kid, he used to take me and watch Spurs play.
03:44His face when they scored.
03:47You know, that joy.
03:50It's like he was glowing, you know. I wish I was stuck with a ball then.
03:53And then...
03:56He was gone.
04:01And I tried to remember the exact moment when I lost it.
04:06Play it over and over in my head.
04:08And what I do...
04:11It makes me so angry.
04:14So hateful.
04:21Anyway, mate, you, er...
04:23You must be exhausted.
04:25You 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 fact to answer 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.
04:50Cathy's not gonna want me anywhere to hear me.
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.
05:08Come on.
05:17Oh.
05:18Hiya.
05:19Oh, hi.
05:20How is everything?
05:21Yeah.
05:22You're having a good day today.
05:23Thanks for yesterday.
05:25Um...
05:26Can I make it up to you?
05:27Oh, it's no need.
05:28Yeah, I'd like to.
05:29Can I meet you down the Vic later?
05:30Yep.
05:31Okay, lovely.
05:32Great.
05:33Text you.
05:34Okay.
05:35You're a very lucky boy.
05:36Just spoke to Lauren.
05:37She said she can get nine grand for the Morris.
05:38You're kidding.
05:39Well, she said eight, but I know we can get her up.
05:40Result, eh?
05:41Oh, what?
05:42You're joking.
05:43What's happened now?
05:44The end of my career.
05:45That is what has happened.
05:46So, yesterday in the Albert, I wrote a draft business proposal telling my clients that I was going to leave the firm and to come in on my own set-up.
05:51Well, when was all this?
05:52When we were three sheets to the wind?
05:53Well, it was just a draft, though, right?
05:54I must have pressed send in to the safe.
05:55It went to all my contacts, including my boss.
05:56He wants me in the office, and I'm already on my phone.
05:57I was thinking of asking Jas on a proper date.
05:58Oh, what?
05:59Oh, what?
06:00Oh, what?
06:01You're joking.
06:02Oh, what?
06:03You're joking.
06:04What's happened now?
06:05The end of my career.
06:06That is what has happened.
06:07So, yesterday in the Albert, I wrote a draft business proposal telling my clients that I was going to leave the firm and to come in on my own set-up.
06:09Well, when was all this?
06:10When we were three sheets to the wind.
06:11Well, it was just a draft, though, right?
06:12I must have pressed send in to the safe.
06:22Maybe...
06:23Maybe...
06:24Cinema?
06:25Top ten rom-coms of all time.
06:28Which do you think you like the most?
06:30Hello.
06:31Hey, maestro.
06:32I'm sorry.
06:33Hmm?
06:34I was just, um...
06:37Thinking about the old car, you know, freedom, the open road.
06:44I won't have that ever again.
06:47Mm-mm.
06:48But...
06:50They haven't taken your licence away yet, have they?
06:53What do you reckon?
06:54One last spin.
06:59Look, Ross wouldn't dare show his face round here.
07:01And if he does, he'll get my still letter on his briflets.
07:04There you go.
07:05Thanks, Kel.
07:06How'd you get on?
07:07All arranged.
07:10What's arranged?
07:11We're taking him away for a few days.
07:14There you go.
07:15You know?
07:19The Lake District.
07:23You could've asked me.
07:26Look.
07:27Being in the house where it happened, it's...
07:30It's not gonna help you heal, darling.
07:32Yeah.
07:33A few days away, a bit of fresh air.
07:34It does all the world of good.
07:37I wonder where he slept last night.
07:40It's not your problem, darling.
07:42I 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.
07:52By the time we get back,
07:53Ross and that son of his will be long gone.
07:56What'd you say?
07:58Come here.
07:59Come here.
08:02Here, Nan.
08:04Cheers.
08:05Here's Tommy.
08:06It's gonna take time, innit?
08:08It's bad to be talk of the square.
08:10He told me that joke was assaulting women,
08:12filming it and posting it.
08:14Sick.
08:15Yeah, it is sick.
08:17It's a shame it took a woman getting beaten to a pulp for Tommy to speak up.
08:19Put 50p in your slot.
08:21That Ross knew exactly what his son was doing and he did nothing about it.
08:26My Tommy's no saint, but he ain't to blame for what that Joel did.
08:29Sure.
08:30If he was to blame, the old Bill would have arrested him.
08:33So before you open your gob again, make sure you get your facts right.
08:39Oh, where's your action, man? You're usually joined at the Ips.
08:42Oh, well, he's gone AWOMO, ain't he? Not that he's missed.
08:44He takes after his granddad.
08:47Stevie had his wicked way with me and then run to the hills.
08:51Well, that's not my problem anymore.
08:53Cheers, though.
08:54I was married to a Mitchell and taken from me.
08:56You could do better.
08:57Thanks.
08:59Oh, man, you look amazing.
09:02Thanks.
09:05Right, I'll have your finest bottle of shampoos and a lemonade.
09:09Ooh, big spender. I like your style.
09:11Yeah, I'll just have a bottle of beer, though. Thanks, Kat.
09:13Thanks, Kat.
09:14Right, now.
09:15Okay, I'll have your finest beer in a minute.
09:17Quiet, alright.
09:18May I go grab us a table? I'll come over, yeah?
09:24Now, this silt is made of stone.
09:26This silt is made of wood.
09:28Yeah, I'm not blinding.
09:29And because it is made of wood, right, you need to sand out any imperfections, okay?
09:33Then you apply the primer and then you apply two coats of paint.
09:37In the time it's taken to explain it, I could have done it.
09:40Oh.
09:41Uh, Ian.
09:43I, um, I had a chat with Vos earlier.
09:46Yeah, I'm surprised he's still around.
09:47Yeah, well, he's vulnerable. You know, he need support.
09:51Support?
09:53Seen Vicky's face.
09:54Look, Joel's not the first kid to get off the rails.
09:57Are ya?
09:58Ooh.
09:59Still hard at it.
10:00Oh, I thought he was, uh, out for a day.
10:03No, change of plan.
10:04We're taking Vicky to the lakes for a few days, you know, for a breather.
10:07Sharon's out getting bits.
10:10Right, well, can't you get bits of the lakes?
10:13I mean, we can't get a move on that.
10:15Slow down, Harvey.
10:16What, you trying to get rid of us?
10:21What the hell are you doing here?
10:23What are you doing?
10:26Oh, no, no, no, no, say you didn't.
10:29Well, I just thought, I mean, especially if he's gonna be away for a few days, son.
10:32Well, you thought wrong, okay?
10:33I don't want you anywhere near my family, all right?
10:35So, look, just...
10:36So, take your rubbish and get lost, all right?
10:37Oh, Ian, there's nothing but that.
10:38I don't need you or your son anywhere near Wolford.
10:39You wanna watch your mouth.
10:40Make...
10:41You only make it worse.
10:42And this has got nothing to do with you.
10:44Oh, Ian, there's nothing but that.
10:45I don't need you or your son anywhere near Wolford.
10:47You wanna watch your mouth.
10:49Make...
10:50You only make it worse.
10:51And this has got nothing to do with you.
10:53I don't need you.
11:00Okay.
11:01Please.
11:02Don't even think about it.
11:13How many of you are dads?
11:16Our parents.
11:17And how many of your sons have got a mobile?
11:24Or a laptop?
11:29Do you know what they're watching right now?
11:32Do you?
11:37I mean, one minute, you're teaching them how to ride a bike.
11:40And that's scary enough, but, you know, you can't wrap them in cotton wool forever, can you?
11:47And then the next thing, you've got this twisted freak in their ear.
11:52Filling their head with all this crap about what it takes to be a real man.
11:55And then my boy did some terrible things.
11:59And I wanna get my hands round his neck and I wanna throttle him.
12:05And I wanna ask him, how could you have been so stupid?
12:09But I turned him in.
12:13I shot my home son to the police.
12:18I handed him his laptop with all that vile stuff on it.
12:24But apparently that ain't enough for you lot.
12:28Yeah, you can write him off, turn your back on him.
12:34I can't blame you for that.
12:36But what would you do?
12:44Eh?
12:47What would you do if this was happening to your family?
12:56I did everything I could.
13:01I can't give up on John.
13:07Yeah, you alright, Ross?
13:09You did everything you could.
13:11For him.
13:12Oh, Kathy.
13:13No, no.
13:15But you did nothing to protect the women he abused.
13:18And you knew what your son was up to for months.
13:23You knew it, and you kept it to yourself.
13:26And now, all those women, they have to live with what your son did to them.
13:31So whatever you did, Ross, it weren't enough.
13:36Come on, Kathy.
13:37That's enough now.
13:38Let's go.
13:39Let's go.
13:46You're not setting one foot inside my house.
13:48Just...
13:49Just leave.
13:51What's the point?
13:54It's always right.
13:57I am perfect.
14:01Jasmine.
14:02Okay, hear me out.
14:03I was thinking we could do a date.
14:04Like, old school.
14:05I'm listening.
14:06They have a season of old classic rom-coms at the picture house.
14:09I was thinking pretty woman.
14:10Richard Gere.
14:11God broke the mold when he made that, man.
14:12What, the one about the sex worker and millionaire?
14:13Yeah, it's romantic.
14:14I could work.
14:15I could work.
14:16I could work.
14:17You're running.
14:18You're running.
14:19You're running.
14:20Well, it looks like you've, uh, got yourself a date.
14:22Oh, shit.
14:24You know, I grew up in Marbella.
14:25My mum and dad ran a bar, so we helped her.
14:26It's been a while, didn't it?
14:27Mm-hmm.
14:28I'll get tattoos to prove it.
14:29Yeah, it's romantic. I could watch it on repeat.
14:31Hey, you're ruining it.
14:33Well, it looks like you've got yourself a date.
14:36Yeah.
14:38No, I grew up in Marbella.
14:41My mum and dad ran a bar, so we helped out.
14:43It's been a while, didn't it?
14:45We've got tattoos to prove it.
14:47Hi, yeah. Where?
14:49Oh, come on, you've got to show me now.
14:51No, no, this is a family-friendly bar, thank you.
14:54All right, yeah, I get that vibe.
14:57Hey, listen, next day I'm taking you out west.
15:00What, the next day?
15:01Yeah.
15:02Dinner, rooftop bar, members club, you know, the finest.
15:07All right, well, I've shown you mine,
15:09so now you've got to show me yours.
15:11You ain't show me nothing yet.
15:13I met my family.
15:18Ain't nothing to sell.
15:21No, Mum.
15:23Dad, brothers, sisters.
15:27Okay, so this is just a one-way thing, is it?
15:29Where I'm kind of...
15:30I'm kind of done with the silent, moody type.
15:33So...
15:37Well, I...
15:38did really know my pops until I was nine, so...
15:44Mum says he was never any good, but...
15:46when I did meet him...
15:49that guy demanded respect, you know.
15:54He showed me off to everyone.
15:56Spoiled me as well, put me trainers, clothes, you know.
15:59Treat me like a king.
16:07He died when I was 14.
16:09Word on the road is he got stabbed with his own knife in some petty scuffle.
16:17And after that, Mum just, erm...
16:24Well, she just snapped.
16:29Got missing for days on end.
16:33Left me and my brother to take care of our...
16:35a little sister to drive by ourselves.
16:41No love.
16:44No help.
16:49I'm really sorry that happened to you.
16:57Got out, though.
16:58Survived.
17:00The sun's blazing down on me now, though, eh?
17:04Mm-hm.
17:06Yep.
17:07Yeah, it is.
17:10Come on!
17:11Come on, please!
17:12Please!
17:39Hi.
17:40Hey.
17:42How's Vicky?
17:43Care about Vicky now, do you?
17:45Of course I do.
17:46I don't be like that.
17:48Oh, is that why you invite that man into our house?
17:50Look, 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?
17:57Do you know what?
17:58I think it's a good job I'm going away.
18:00Before me and you fall out.
18:02You're, er...
18:04You're staying in my house, aren't you?
18:05Don't forget that.
18:06I'll wind it in, will you?
18:07Ross ain't the one that's banged up, is he?
18:10Well, Joe ought to get it from somewhere.
18:12I 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, you hid the truth from everyone.
18:20Right? Because deep down inside you knew there was good in him.
18:22I've done the same with Aaron, but here we are and we get to argue about painting a windowsill.
18:28We get to have a pint with our community while Ross is in the gutter.
18:32Aren't we lucky?
18:34Yeah, I'm going to the Vic. You can do the last coat.
18:36I've got your text. You ready?
18:39Er, ready for what?
18:41We were going to...
18:42Oh, mate!
18:44You been turned over?
18:45No. I'm looking for something.
18:46Looking for what?
18:48Could it be the car keys? One last spin, remember?
18:49Car keys.
18:50Yes.
18:51Yeah.
18:52Oh, look at this mess.
18:53It's okay?
18:54No, it's not. Oh, is it? What's Julie going to think?
18:56Okay, well, you, er...
18:57Oh, oh.
18:58Yeah.
18:59There.
19:00Sit there.
19:02Oh.
19:03Oh.
19:04Oh.
19:05Oh.
19:06Oh.
19:07Oh.
19:08Oh.
19:09Oh.
19:10Oh.
19:11Oh.
19:12Oh.
19:13Oh.
19:14Oh.
19:15Oh.
19:16Oh.
19:17Oh.
19:18Oh.
19:19Oh.
19:20Oh.
19:21Julie always wanted to go to India.
19:23See the Taj Mahal.
19:25We've been saving for years, but then...
19:28Nigel, you told me this yesterday, remember?
19:31Right.
19:32Yeah.
19:34I'm back!
19:36Oh, God.
19:37I'm exhausted.
19:39I got you those brandy...
19:41Is that your...
19:46Oh, my...
19:47It's okay.
19:48Nigel was looking for something and got a bit carried away.
19:50Car keys?
19:51I was gonna take the car for one last spin.
19:53No.
19:54No.
19:55He was just gonna show me the engine.
19:57Nigel.
19:58Nigel.
19:59You can't drive.
20:00You know that.
20:05I keep hold of them.
20:07See?
20:08I told you that.
20:09Yeah, I'm...
20:10I'm sorry.
20:13Right.
20:14Never mind.
20:17Let's get this place tied it up then, shall we?
20:18No.
20:20We'll sort it.
20:21Right, Nigel?
20:22Yeah.
20:23Sit.
20:24Just, er...
20:27Goodness.
20:29I'm supposed to be meeting Gene.
20:30So, go!
20:35Okay.
20:36What was I supposed to do?
20:48Like, no, 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 okay?
20:56Oh, well, you're concerned now, are you?
20:59Yeah, I saw you gawping earlier.
21:02Enjoy the shows, yeah?
21:04Of course not.
21:05I'm just concerned.
21:06Oh, just do one, mate.
21:08Sorry.
21:09Don't hurt your feelings.
21:13So...
21:15Where are you now?
21:16Oh, do you know what?
21:17I'm actually, I've got a beat.
21:20Eh, well, like I said,
21:22Harry's a fool.
21:24If I had a girl like you, I'd never let her go.
21:29Johnny!
21:34Have you heard anything?
21:35Oh, he's heard all right.
21:36Yep, sacked.
21:37With immediate effect, gross misconduct,
21:39and zero chance of a reference.
21:42You'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.
22:02I mean, I know.
22:03He ain't.
22:04He chased me for months, and...
22:06In Brighton, like...
22:08We got really close.
22:09It wasn't just like a fling.
22:11Gina.
22:13I'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.
22:22Okay.
22:25Okay.
22:27Right.
22:29You ready?
22:32Push this.
22:34Do you ready?
22:36Um...
22:38My way of apology for earlier.
22:41Indian takeaway.
22:42Well, um...
22:43Just going back for me, Danny.
22:45Yeah, no.
22:46It's, um...
22:47It's a taster...
22:49for our trip to India.
22:52And we're what?
22:53You've had to put up with a lot from me.
22:57So, um...
22:59I wanted you to have something to look forward to.
23:03Um...
23:04Because I love you.
23:06And you deserve it.
23:07So, I'm selling a car.
23:09And it's time to turn our dream into reality.
23:11Delhi, Jaipur, Agra.
23:13The Golden Track.
23:15But really?
23:16Really?
23:17And before our real trip to India,
23:19I thought I'd give you a taste of India.
23:21Oh, God.
23:23Oh, you big, soft, you know.

26:52Yeah, he likes looking after Albie.
26:54He's a good bloke.
26:56Listen, I'm sorry about earlier.
26:58You've got to stop feeling guilty about Ross.
27:01He can look after himself.
27:03Let's just get going, eh?
27:05In you get.
27:07Er, just give me a minute, all right?
27:19Ah, no, you have got to be joking.
27:23I've done it past that.
27:24It was covered in all sorts.
27:26Yeah, well, I can see that.
27:27He's taken care of, Kath.
27:29If anything happens to him, what's that going to do at looking?
27:32Oh, nice try, Harvey.
27:33But he ain't staying here.
27:35Mum, he is.
27:35What, what, after everything he's done?
27:39He's hit rock bottom, okay?
27:41Look, I know what that's like.
27:42I've been there.
27:44You both have.
27:49Come on, Kath.
27:51We missed the train.
