00:30I missed a bit. Zoe lied about what?
00:41It ain't nice when your mum ain't who you thought she was.
00:45What's that all got to do with Sharon, man?
00:47No, it's not about that. It's about Zoe's son's dad
00:50and they're trying to track him down.
00:52Guys, please, can we just have the next question?
00:57Are you going to let her avoid all responsibility?
01:00I mean, she's 40 or she's not a kid.
01:02I mean, what's Sharon done to you?
01:04I mean, what's Sharon done to any of us?
01:06She made up that Sharon's dead son had a brother.
01:12Right, she made that up.
01:13I mean, what is she, evil or a nut job?
01:15Dad, come on, let's go.
01:16But I'm going to make sure that she repays every single penny
01:19that Sharon lent her, all right, with interest.
01:22I think you'll find Sharon gay with her money, all right?
01:24Under false pretenses, she's going to hear from my solicitor.
01:30Hey, it's all right, come on.
01:33No, no, I know, I know.
01:58Yeah, and I agree with you.
02:04Oh, no, Sharon, please don't.
02:08All right, all right, OK?
02:13I understand.
02:14You've got to do whatever.
02:17Yeah, I promise.
02:18You will be all right, yeah?
02:24And I love you.
02:37She won't come back.
02:40Sorry, what?
02:41No, I seriously think this has tipped her over the edge
02:44and she was so strong for me and all.
02:47She is in pits, Zach.
02:51It is like Denny has died all over again.
02:58She wants to go to Florida.
03:00I stay with Mum, so I've said,
03:03well, I've got to get a bag together for Albie,
03:04I've got to take him in the morning,
03:06take him to the airport tomorrow.
03:07I'll do that.
03:12Wish I was well enough to go with her.
03:15I need her.
03:22Honest to God,
03:24haven't we had enough?
03:27Zoe Slater has just ripped my whole family apart.
03:31I can.
03:41Alfie.
03:42Vin, Vin, Vin, Vinny, Vinny.
03:44I can't have a quiz if I haven't got any quizzes, all right?
03:47Computer says.
03:48Computer says?
03:48Yep.
03:49Well, I think I was winning.
03:50Excuse me, you don't get to win
03:52just because you're the last man standing, Vinny no-mates.
03:55Oi, oi, oi.
03:55Come on, everyone's a winner in my eyes, all right?
03:57You flirt.
03:58That's exactly what they used to say to bottom-set nerves.
04:02Ow!
04:03Oh.
04:04Are you sure you should have checked out the hospital
04:06if you're still getting pain?
04:15Oh, have I missed it?
04:17Where is everyone?
04:20Only pain to me in my bed.
04:21OK.
04:22OK.
04:22OK.
04:23OK.
04:28Did anything else happen, apart from you running her over
04:36and damaging her internal organs?
04:38What?
04:40Did you say anything to Jasmine?
04:42No.
04:42No.
04:43I don't think so.
04:45It might be more what she said to me.
04:48Yeah?
04:50Yes.
04:51No.
04:52Yes.
04:52What?
04:53What?
04:53As you were, my man.
04:58As you were.
05:00OK.
05:01If you could put word out
05:02that we are going to hold another quiz night very soon.
05:07OK.
05:07And the first prize will be...
05:10The first prize is going to be
05:13landlord of the vint for one night only.
05:16I'm...
05:17Come on.
05:19Some might say that was a poison chalice.
05:21Putting on a decent quiz night ain't as easy as it looks.
05:24We absolutely had it in the bag.
05:27I think that is why Ian ran out.
05:30Come on.
05:32All right.
05:33See you later.
05:34Bye.
05:36Ta-da.
05:36Oh, yeah.
05:39There was always a long shot trying to put a quiz on midweek,
05:42but, you know, it's the cost of living crisis, isn't it?
05:45Zoe is ruining us.
05:46Come on.
05:52Mum?
06:05Outrageous.
06:05Now, I strongly suggest that we boycott.
06:08Right?
06:08All of us, until further notice,
06:10or at least until I get a full...
06:12until Sharon gets a full refund of all the monies.
06:15I'll tell you what.
06:15I would rather spend my hard-earned cash,
06:18right,
06:18giving it to my ex
06:19and sitting in a gay bar all night.
06:21All right, you are.
06:23Well, tonight is young.
06:24I'll drop this off.
06:25You get him in.
06:26Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
06:26Hold on, hold on.
06:27I didn't mean we...
06:28Oh, no.
06:30Is it finished already?
06:32Well, who won, then?
06:33Do you know how much money was raised?
06:35Don't get me started.
06:36Don't get him started, Lon, please.
06:37Yeah, and I'm taking it that this no-show
06:39means you had time to knock some sense
06:41into my eldest grandson.
06:42We don't knock sense, Ian,
06:44on account of it not being 1978.
06:47Mm-hmm.
06:47And if you mean...
06:49did I sort Louis being upset
06:51about finding out where chicken nuggets
06:53actually come from,
06:54then, yeah, I did.
06:55It's...
06:55it's all sorted.
06:58I told him that I completely understood his point
07:00and that we were all, as a group,
07:03going to try and become vegetarians.
07:05No.
07:07All right, well, as long as we get enough protein on us.
07:09Let me go have a look for some lentils.
07:11Here we go.
07:14This is your fault.
07:15Probably.
07:16Laylights!
07:16What?
07:18Sorry!
07:18Sorry!
07:27Ernie told you we got a maths test tomorrow.
07:29Yeah, I know.
07:30But thinks the cat's good.
07:32Okay.
07:33Tommy said there ain't no point asking.
07:38Asking what?
07:39Can you stop shouting?
07:44No more rowing, I promise.
07:47Go on, off to bed.
07:48I love you.
07:54I love you.
07:54I love you.
08:00So, you want two plates?
08:02No.
08:03Yes.
08:04Sorry.
08:05I'm not making a big deal.
08:06I just think that first impressions are...
08:07We're just having a chat.
08:08Yeah, I know that.
08:09It's not down to them.
08:10This Emmy or whatever.
08:12This Kate with a C.
08:13Yeah, okay.
08:14They are just giving us the benefit of their experience.
08:16That's it.
08:17Mm-hmm.
08:17All right?
08:18Yeah.
08:18Who cares what they think?
08:19Well, both.
08:20Yep.
08:20Yes, yes.
08:21Best behaviour already promised.
08:23But this is about us.
08:25Yeah?
08:25You and me deciding if we actually want to contact the agency.
08:30Mm-hmm.
08:30Not whether I'll lose clean enough for them to eat their dinner off.
08:33Mm-hmm.
08:33A bit of air freshening.
08:33No.
08:34Eve?
08:36No.
08:38Breathe.
08:40Okay.
08:41Okay.
08:43Sorry!
08:46Someone's packed my key, and it definitely wasn't me.
08:48Ravi, have you checked the other case?
08:51Tell me, what's your last slave die of?
08:53I'm starving.
08:55Exhaustion.
08:57Okay, I'm not hungry anymore.
08:58I've got sick.
08:59Oh, bucket.
09:00Sookie, have you got a bucket?
09:01No, it's a telly-pelly all the way back from the airport,
09:03and I'm not sure which one's going to go first.
09:05Oh.
09:06Cash.
09:07The cabbie wants it for the dip clean.
09:09Let me go to the ATM and get some.
09:11Dad, I've got cash.
09:12My birthday money.
09:13Sorry.
09:13Sorry.
09:14Oh, okay.
09:15Off she goes.
09:17Oh, that'd be them Jehovah's with the little kid.
09:19Followed us up the path.
09:25I think my animal magnetism's slipping.
09:28Maybe you left it with the chickens.
09:31Yeah.
09:33Back to me, though.
09:35Something's out of Jasmine.
09:36Jasmine.
09:36And I think Nigel could be in on it, or Cindy, maybe.
09:41Because Jasmine's the only one Cindy's texting off our holiday.
09:46And why did Jasmine bin the fruit her mum sent her?
09:50And why does she check herself out of hospital, yeah?
09:53When it's obvious she's still in pain?
09:54Do you think she could be running from someone?
09:59Have you given your heart?
10:02Have you given your little heart?
10:05Oh, come on.
10:06You're the one that prides himself for being a right laugh.
10:11Who couldn't even manage her come back to Ian?
10:14Look, if Jasmine's giving you the slip, it's probably because them puppy dog guys are giving her the ick.
10:19You want me to tell Louie Plants her feelings?
10:24Ah.
10:24See, there he is.
10:26He's back in the room.
10:28Oscar.
10:30She likes you.
10:32It's obvious.
10:33Just stop worrying.
10:34And if you think that there's something going on with her, why don't you just ask her?
10:38I've tried.
10:40Oh.
10:41Well, if you don't trust the answer, then that is not a good sign this early on.
10:45There's only one obvious next step.
10:51You've got to start snooping.
10:54Welcome to relationships.
11:01Varnie offering to give you her cash for that cat was so cute.
11:06I can't get over how much better she is.
11:08And that is all because of you.
11:10I think it's because she's just been partying with her mother in Ibiza.
11:16Mm, no.
11:18You going legit has changed everyone's life.
11:23Oh, don't mind me.
11:24Sorry.
11:25Can I just...
11:27Oh, seriously, they're all the one thing.
11:30Sorry.
11:31Sodden rice cakes.
11:33Aha!
11:34Yes.
11:38Mom, Nugget's been sick again.
11:41Oh.
11:42Sick bucket or shot for bleach?
11:45Decisions.
11:46Living the dream, babes.
11:48Yes.
11:48Ha, ha.
12:10Thank you so much.
12:12Sorry.
12:13She just decided six months back that she doesn't like how frisly sugar makes her feel.
12:18So...
12:19We think it's important to let a child self-regulate.
12:26No.
12:27In my day, you just stuck them in the room and shut the door.
12:30Oh, well.
12:32Have a cake in your mouth.
12:33Thank God things have moved on since you were having biological children.
12:42Thea knows to listen to herself.
12:45Sleeps when she's ready.
12:46Very in tune with her own circadian rhythms.
12:48And like I said, obviously, we believe that a continuity of relationship with former foster carers, social workers, birth family members, and their local community can be critical to a child's experience of stability.
13:00Obviously.
13:01Obviously.
13:02Marley, what have you done with the bob roll?
13:03Well, we both learned basic Arabic before Fee had joined us.
13:10Katie homeschooled for the first year.
13:13How else are you going to understand the child-centered approach unless you've practiced it first?
13:17Indeed.
13:18The biggest benefit of adopting later in life is that we have the time, don't we?
13:23Maturity.
13:25Recognizing that all children are unique.
13:28Actively engaging with the child's communication.
13:31You've used all the hot water.
13:34Don't slam doors.
13:37Taking their views seriously.
13:39Respectfully.
13:40Mum? Mum?
13:43That's it.
13:44We are done.
13:44I am done.
13:46Quiz neither, Vic?
13:47You promised?
13:49This is year six, sports day, all over again.
13:52I was on my own, the only one.
13:54My son.
14:03You know what it's taken her to even try and move forward?
14:08Every day, she misses Denny.
14:10Every day.
14:12Why would Zoe do that?
14:15Because she's a hard-faced witch.
14:17Who wants Sharon's money.
14:20Because she's a mentalist with a track record.
14:21Should we just let the dust settle?
14:24Just take a minute.
14:25We don't need another fight, do we?
14:28Don't we?
14:30Don't we, Zach?
14:31You know why Ross is genuinely still in the dark?
14:37Why he don't even get what he done?
14:39How bad he let me down.
14:43Because I never opened my mouth loud enough.
14:47No.
14:47No.
14:47No.
14:48I never put a stop.
14:49I never properly put Joel in his place.
14:51Nothing that happened with you and Joel was your fault, Vic.
14:54It's all the same, though, isn't it?
14:57Other people thinking that it's totally fine just to walk all over you.
15:04It is a wicked thing to do, what Zoe's done to Sharon.
15:07What are you going to do, then?
15:08I don't know.
15:12Yet.
15:15But I am not going to let her get away with this.
15:19Stabbing me in the back!
15:21Shh!
15:22I told you to keep it down.
15:25Calling yourself my mother?
15:26Oh, now I'm your mother.
15:27No, you ain't.
15:28You never have been, and you never will be.
15:31Because it is just a word.
15:32Yeah, a word that you are too scared to live up to, innit?
15:35Well, it ain't like I've had the best example, is it?
15:38Oh, you did.
15:40Mum and Dad brought you up to protect you and to protect me
15:43and make sure that you had the best life, and you did.
15:47You can blame me and hate me all you like,
15:50but I'll forgive you because I love you.
15:52But I'm not having you lying,
15:54saying that you didn't have a great start when you did.
15:56They did everything for you.
15:58And I'm sick to death of you, bitchy.
16:00You can't say it.
16:01It's twisted in your head.
16:04And how dare you come for me like that downstairs?
16:07For what?
16:07Telling the truth?
16:09And how dare you
16:10take your grandparents' memories and rubbish them?
16:15Rewrite history?
16:17Was it you that was mauled, letched over, yeah, and raped?
16:21You haven't got the first clue, have you?
16:23Finding out a story when you were pretty much grown up.
16:26That's the most damage it did to you,
16:28trying to get your head round a story that happened
16:30before you were even born.
16:31And it's all thanks to them.
16:33Because you were a cherished,
16:35innocent,
16:37spoiled, safe little girl.
16:40And now...
16:40My mum
16:42was brilliant with you.
16:44Yeah?
16:46So are you right to be scared?
16:48You are.
16:50Because you will never,
16:51ever be as good as she was.
16:53And you know it.
16:54Well, she's got boner lallies,
17:03hasn't she?
17:08It feels a bit...
17:09fragile,
17:10doesn't it?
17:11Maybe we should give him a couple more days at ours.
17:13Well,
17:14bar from tiles,
17:15do need grouting.
17:15I'll stick his towel in the wash.
17:17All right.
17:19All right.
17:20No word of a lie.
17:22With compliments.
17:24Yeah.
17:25You said the,
17:26the old one
17:27had all the good looks,
17:29and,
17:29for you two,
17:30we're obviously a couple,
17:31and
17:31please,
17:31and the other is for you.
17:32So...
17:33wrong shot.
17:43Take it like a man.
17:51Let my forfeit, yeah?
17:53Anytime I ask you anything personal,
17:54you're just gonna pour me another one.
17:58Hmm.
18:03Strawberry Daiquiri or Cosmopolitan?
18:12Hey,
18:12you're welcome.
18:17I ain't got time for a drink.
18:19Why'd you call me here, Dan?
18:25I want to know the Harry Kojo situation's sorted.
18:28What?
18:29Text you saying they're sorted, no?
18:30Yeah,
18:31and the text don't look me in the eye.
18:33Well,
18:33it's sorted.
18:35Done.
18:36As instructed.
18:38Yeah?
18:38Both of them are living the time of their lives.
18:42Okay.
18:44This is where me and you part ways.
18:47You've taken a beating of a week,
18:48done us both a favour.
18:49Check your phone.
18:53Doric, contact with his source.
18:55I'll give her your number.
18:58You only contact me
18:59if you're desperate, yeah?
19:03For the warehouse.
19:05What if it's yours now?
19:07Permanent.
19:08Or so.
19:09I'm sick of getting my hands dirty.
19:12No one.
19:13You think of me as management.
19:14No.
19:14No.
19:14No.
19:14No.
19:15No.
19:15No.
19:15No.
19:15No.
19:16No.
19:16No.
19:17No.
19:17No.
19:17No.
19:18No.
19:19No.
19:19No.
19:20No.
19:21No.
19:22No.
19:23No.
19:24No.
19:25No.
19:26No.
19:27No.
19:28No.
19:29No.
19:30No.
19:31No.
19:32I wish you'd kept him.
19:41I wish you'd kept my grandson.
19:44I would love to have helped you.
19:46There's nothing like bringing up a kid 24-7 to make you grow up.
19:50And you didn't, so you haven't.
19:52You said in the ambulance that you're just a middle-aged woman who's got nothing.
19:59No job, no cash, no fella.
20:01And here you are now.
20:03I think you're playing all this.
20:05That's what you think.
20:07Keep telling yourself that finding your missing son will fix everything.
20:11Dragging us all in, and then doing whatever you can to scupper it.
20:15I don't think you've made one sensible or sane choice since you've been back.
20:20Hey.
20:21You haven't.
20:23Going to Sharon for money on the back of a lie.
20:26Are you for real?
20:28You must have known that this would backfire.
20:31Or that kicking off and throwing yourself about.
20:34You must have known.
20:36That's what you wanted.
20:38When did you get so wise, Kat?
20:40Was it before or after Alfie had a kid with your cousin?
20:49I wanted you home so badly.
20:55But I'm done now, Zoe.
20:57Yeah.
20:58I'm not letting you do this to us.
21:00Not letting you do it to me, my boys, my business, my friends.
21:04It's not happening.
21:05Screwing us all over for some fantasy future.
21:09Do you really want a 19-year-old, eh?
21:13Expecting to put him first?
21:14He'll be asking you all those questions,
21:16where have you been throughout his childhood?
21:17And what if he rejects you, yeah?
21:19What if you can't do it?
21:21Finding your son is not going to right all these wrongs.
21:23And you can blame me all you want.
21:26It's no one's fault the way your life has turned out, except yours.
21:32I want you to apologise to Sharon.
21:35Give her her money back.
21:36If you've spent it, then you earn it, all right?
21:40And then track down your son when or if you can afford it.
21:44I don't have to listen to this.
21:45No.
21:46There is one more choice.
21:48You know where the door is?
21:49I see what you did there.
22:19Yeah.
22:20Jasmine, I'm only asking because I can.
22:22Mm-hm.
22:23Yeah.
22:24Okay.
22:26Done one, and I will show you my bra strap.
22:33Lightweight, Mr. Charles.
22:37You've done all you can.
22:39Kojo knows where you are, George.
22:40Well, apparently, Nigel found his way to the hospital.
22:47Hmm?
22:48And apparently, ballooned to the in thing.
22:50Hmm.
22:51Gina was holiday in India.
22:53Right, but she also had a bowl of Judy's pasta, so things are looking up.
22:57Girl after me own heart.
22:58Hmm.
22:59You know, I might make her a little something before I go in tomorrow.
23:04Cook?
23:04Hmm?
23:05Maybe online shopping.
23:08Hmm?
23:09You know, stick to your strength.
23:13See ya.
23:14So far.
23:21Hmm.
23:23Night.
23:26Night, then.
23:30Wait.
23:31I'm still waiting for your bank details and your address.
23:35I thought Cindy said she put everything through before she went on holiday.
23:37Oh, did you?
23:38I thought you said you were going to send it all to her.
23:40You know, I actually really need to get my boss, but I'll message her.
23:43Cash in hand by the end of the week is fine.
23:45I can't worry about it.
23:56You got her address.
23:57Well, you're her boyfriend.
24:01You must know where she lives.
24:04Super, super casual.
24:08Do you think we should find out?
24:13Absolutely, definitely, 100%.
24:16So many years.
24:22All that effort trying to find her.
24:24Why is she making me choose?
24:26Okay, I'm sure there'll be someone on the square that'll take her in.
24:29After tonight?
24:30I think even Anthony Truman might need persuading.
24:33Hmm.
24:34I'm sure Mo's got some mates she can ask.
24:38Look, my mate's got a caravan in South End.
24:41Don't give her a ring.
24:42I ain't charity.
24:43I'm packing and I'm going tonight.
24:45Cat don't want me here.
24:46There's a surprise, eh, Nan?
24:48But she didn't actually say that, did she?
24:50She don't give me ultimatums.
24:53I don't need her and I don't want nothing to do with any of them.
24:56Look.
24:58Take this.
25:00You can't sleep on the streets.
25:03I've done 20 years on my own.
25:05I'll manage.
25:06But there's one thing you could do for me.
25:09Look after the cat.
25:11It could be like a mini-mo for you.
25:14Because I can't leave her on her own.
25:18Promise me that you ain't going to do a disappearing act.
25:23I will really miss you.
25:25I ain't keep her promises.
25:27Thanks for this.
25:34Sorry, Nan.
25:50That Emmy practically sprinted down the path.
25:54What kind of kid doesn't like cake?
25:56I had six.
25:57What kind of parent allows their child to make all the big decisions?
26:01You know, sock colour, sure.
26:03But what time they go to bed?
26:05You didn't like them from the minute they walked in
26:07and you saw the age difference.
26:10It's like talking about mindfulness and meditation,
26:13thought you were going to choke.
26:14That was indigestion.
26:16But, you know, they made me think.
26:18Yeah.
26:19How I would do things different if I had my time again.
26:22You're a natural.
26:27What?
26:28Yeah.
26:29That Fihar loved you.
26:30Mm-hmm.
26:31Well, she's a very smart little girl.
26:33I guess we should call the agency, then.
26:40Take the next step.
26:42It's not like it's a commitment or anything.
26:43Are you serious?
26:44Yeah, well...
26:45I could try and learn Swahili or whatever it is on the off-chance.
26:49OK, you know, darling, I'll support you, whatever.
26:55But, honestly, I don't think it's a good idea
26:57letting her leave in the middle of the night.
26:59Sweet, I know you're lying.
27:00You'll be awake worrying.
27:01No.
27:02I missed out the chance of being a mum to the little girl.
27:05I'm not humouring the overgrown one she's become.
27:07What kind of sick hypocrite?
27:10Really?
27:11If it ain't enough, you're kicking me out.
27:12This is the parting gift.
27:13What fake bud?
27:14On my bed?
27:16You know what?
27:16I've already got the message.
27:18Zoe, will you pack this in?
27:19If this is your effort to stay here...
27:22It weren't me!
27:23Zoe.
27:24Zoe, listen, who wasn't your mum
27:27because she's been down here with me?
27:29Well, then...
27:30who did it?
