00:00Silent night, holy night, all is dark, all is bright, round yon virgin, mother and child.
00:26Holy imposter, tender and high, sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.
00:48She's still a bag of nerves, isn't she?
00:50When we find out who this is, it's going to make our Christmas.
00:54I know they had a ruck yesterday.
00:57She's been back in London for months, right?
00:58She's been hiding in secret because Julie told me.
01:00No, Kat, no.
01:01She says she's having some problems, some personal stuff, all right?
01:05Can't go storming and accusing her.
01:08Kat, sweetheart, don't give me that look because I want to catch this nutjob as much as you do.
01:12But it ain't going to help just accusing someone, is it?
01:14So what?
01:14I just give up.
01:16No chance.
01:17Bye-bye.
01:25Hey, sweetie, have you been dozing?
01:27Yeah, a bit of snooze, you know.
01:33Where have you been?
01:34Went with a shopping?
01:36Lifting heavy bags in my condition.
01:38Are you pregnant?
01:39No, she's, uh...
01:41She's a bit lazy, that's awful.
01:42I'll do you for slander.
01:46My film.
01:48Um...
01:49I don't remember watching it.
01:53You, uh...
01:55You weren't there, mate.
01:56You missed it.
01:58Take a seat, yeah, I'll explain.
02:00You had a bit of a rough night.
02:01This is so pathetic, Linda.
02:10What has this got us on?
02:11I've got a little girl in there who's very confused.
02:14And full of questions that I can't answer.
02:16Well, you can answer them, yeah?
02:17You just don't want to.
02:18Do you know what?
02:18Go and get your lawyer, all right?
02:19Because I am not going to let you see her again without a court order.
02:22And after the stunt you pulled yesterday,
02:24you're never going to get one.
02:27Not your smartest move, is it?
02:29You're like, she didn't call the police.
02:31What do you want me to say?
02:33I had a good little connection with Annie, you know?
02:35I was making her laugh.
02:37I felt like I had the right time to tell her.
02:39That was the one thing that Linda asked you not to do.
02:41Four years.
02:43Four years, Jack.
02:44My daughter's life.
02:45I'll never get back because of her.
02:48So it's why she's not bending over backwards to make it up to me.
02:51I'll tell you why, mate.
02:54I'm the bad guy.
02:56Yeah.
02:56Max Brennan.
02:58Always the bad guy.
03:07I'm sorry.
03:08I'm so sorry.
03:09There's some money you've got nothing to be sorry for.
03:12Toasties.
03:13We had toasties.
03:14Yeah, that's right.
03:14We did.
03:17Care home.
03:19We don't need to talk about that now.
03:20My last Christmas.
03:21You do know we love you, don't you?
03:32These sputs ain't gonna peel themselves, are they?
03:34These sputs ain't gonna be really beautiful this morning.
03:49Mm-hmm.
03:50And Anthony, you try your best, don't believe it, you hear?
03:52I'm not sure I'm going to be there.
03:54Oh, come on, Amar.
03:55You can't miss it.
03:56You've already put so much work into this thing to get out.
03:59Well, I'll see what I can do.
04:00But there are more important things in life than carol concerts.
04:08Whatever it is, I don't want to hear it.
04:11You're the one who's got the lawyers involved, and you're not getting another penny.
04:19Stay out of my way.
04:21I don't need another lecture.
04:22You haven't told Zoe yet, have you?
04:26You're never going to.
04:27When I'm good and ready, she'll know everything.
04:39What?
04:40I want a snake.
04:41I want two snakes.
04:41Old horses, boys.
04:42No.
04:43No one is getting a snake for Christmas, all right?
04:46What about salamander?
04:47No salamander.
04:48No exotic animals.
04:49Full stop.
04:50End of.
04:50Upstairs.
04:51Go on.
04:51Go, go, go.
04:51Grab some crisps on the way if you want.
04:55How's she been?
04:56Oh, Christmas tree.
04:57No lights on.
05:02Oh, sorry.
05:03I thought you were done.
05:06Does that hurt?
05:10Been through worse.
05:13You got your Christmas plans sorted yet?
05:15You know where you're going to be, who you're going to be with?
05:17Because you're still welcome here.
05:18Um, it's fine.
05:20I've made plans.
05:21I do.
05:23Have I done something to upset you?
05:26Merry Christmas, one and all!
05:28Yay!
05:28Yay!
05:30Yes!
05:30I think it's safe to say I'm full of the Christmas spirits!
05:33But there's plenty of sofas he can sleep on, and I'm sure he's got a little black book full of women who would happily let him drop down their chimney for Christmas.
05:45I'll grab the end of that, will you?
05:46I'll grab the end of that, will you?
05:50Look, I was with you, okay?
05:52He should never have told her.
05:54I'm not excusing it.
05:55I'm not excusing it.
05:56It's just he's hurt.
05:57He's angry.
05:58I mean, we've been lying to him for years, haven't we?
06:01Put it tight at both corners.
06:02But now he has told her, and she's asking all these questions.
06:07Maybe it's time you and him came together and gave us some answers.
06:11Oh, you're only doing this because you feel guilty?
06:13Yeah, well, it's partly that, but, you know, I've experienced my fair share of blended families, and all I know is kids work best when their parents ain't at war.
06:21He fired the first shot!
06:22What's best for Annie?
06:25Because this ain't going away.
06:33I've been trying everything to cheer her up.
06:35The next feed, she's walking around like a Slade tribute act.
06:39I can't hear you, Kathleen.
06:41Would you prefer that I wasn't here?
06:43I just want to know where we stand.
06:45Water under the bridge, is it?
06:46What?
06:47After you accuse me of being the crazed lunatic, scaring Zoe half to death?
06:51Yes, actually.
06:53I am calling a Christmas truce.
06:56Blessing you with my forgiveness.
06:59You're welcome, by the way.
07:00We're like the rugby players on Christmas Day in the First World War.
07:04I think you'll find that it was football.
07:07Oh, potato.
07:07Potato.
07:08We're having a private conversation.
07:12What have you got for family for Christmas?
07:14Well, I was going to get them boxes of chocolates.
07:17Chocolates?
07:18Chocolates?
07:19That won't do.
07:20Not up to everything they've done for you.
07:22Oh, you're going to have to come with me.
07:23Let me give a go.
07:26Zoe's just having a few hours off.
07:35What, you?
07:38What the hell do you think you're doing?
07:39Yeah, but, Elaine, it's Christmas Eve, yeah?
07:44So where am I supposed to go?
07:47Elaine.
07:53No room at the inn, hey?
07:56Oh, right.
07:56You're fine, then.
07:57It's funny.
07:57Yeah.
07:58You've always had a green tube, right?
08:00You know that?
08:01Now you've got your own Cindy Lou as well.
08:02I don't even know what you're talking about.
08:06No, it's a film that proper parents watch for their kids at Christmas.
08:10Oh, so you just want a little dick.
08:12Yeah, it's all right.
08:12Keep digging.
08:14Look, it's just hard, all right?
08:15Seeing you lose your head over a kid, you don't even know.
08:17Well, ignoring the kids, you do.
08:19Just talking about ignoring.
08:20I'm not ignoring you, Oscar, all right?
08:24What are you doing later?
08:25We'll go for a drink.
08:26Because you can fix all my daddy issues with a pint.
08:29No.
08:30No, I'll get you some pork scratchings as well.
08:34Listen, you ain't got to be jealous, all right?
08:36Jealous.
08:37What?
08:38Because you never kidnapped me to go see Father Christmas.
08:41I'm not saying that, all right?
08:42I'm just saying that there's room in my life for all of you.
08:46I ain't stupid, mate, all right?
08:47I know it's going to take me being around, building trust and proving myself to everyone.
08:52That's got to start somewhere, hasn't it?
08:58Saturday the Vic will be...
08:59Yeah.
09:01Yeah, where else?
09:05Give me one hour, all right?
09:06I'll meet you in there.
09:07One hour.
09:10Fine.
09:12But I'm only there for the scratchings.
09:13Stop making excuses, all right?
09:34You've come sneaking in here, going through my mouth?
09:37How much more suspicious do you want to be?
09:39It fell from the side.
09:41I was just picking it back up.
09:42What are you even doing in here?
09:43I told you.
09:43I was coming to see Zach.
09:45I've had a really emotional day.
09:47I just wanted to talk to a friend.
09:50It's you, isn't it?
09:52I know it's you.
09:53You've had a grudge against Zoe for years, so you've snuck back here and you've been hounding her for months.
09:57Oh, God.
09:58It's rubbish all over again.
09:59You're trying to freak her out and get in her head.
10:01Well, listen to me.
10:02It's worked, all right?
10:04She's scared with this, so stop it now.
10:06Look, I don't really know what's been going on, but whatever it is, it weren't me.
10:10Who else would be so cruel, eh?
10:12And twisted.
10:12Do you want a list?
10:14You do know something.
10:16Look, Cat, honestly, I haven't got a clue.
10:19So why do you look so shifty, eh?
10:21Why do you come back in secret and lie about how long you've been around for and don't deny it because Julie told me?
10:25And if it ain't this, then what the hell are you doing?
10:31I've got cancer.
10:41Listen.
10:41Just listen to what she's got to say, yeah.
10:45And try and not run your mouth off.
10:47For the record, what you did was totally out of order.
11:02But despite how angry I am, and I am really angry, there's someone else who's fighting your corner and all.
11:16When can I see that funny man again, Mummy?
11:23That was one of her questions this morning.
11:27Do you think she meant, like, funny ha-ha or funny peculiar?
11:33Jury's out.
11:36So, as much as it pains me, it seems like she had a lovely afternoon with you.
11:46Look, it's not how I wanted it to happen.
11:49But it's out there.
11:52So, she's got questions.
11:57I think we should probably answer them together.
12:19They're telling me it's early stage breast cancer.
12:24Have they talked about treatment?
12:25Yeah.
12:26Yeah, I met with the doctor, explained it all.
12:29Operation in the new year to take the lump out, and they'll take some lymph nodes as well.
12:35I'll have some radiotherapy, and apparently I should get rid of it.
12:40That's good?
12:41Yeah.
12:44I was looking at Nigel this morning, and it's so horrible.
12:49It's so tragic, because this could be his last Christmas, you know.
12:54And then I was thinking they could do all this with me,
12:58and the cancer could still come back, and it would be mine.
13:03And if I died, who'd really care?
13:08I mean, my son, my brothers, Zach, maybe Jack.
13:14But either way, that's a really sorry funeral.
13:20I'd show up.
13:22If the drinks were free.
13:23No-one's talking about funerals, all right?
13:31Sam, if you've been in a dark place, and...
13:34I don't know, you did so much stupid because you're angry with the world, angry with Zoe.
13:38I'd rather you told me it was you,
13:40because we are terrified what they're going to do next.
13:43It wasn't me.
13:44But you know who it was?
13:48You know something?
13:51Please, Sam, just tell me.
13:54Kat, I don't know anything.
13:56To be honest with you, I'm...
13:58I'm too wrapped up in my own little world to give a damn about anyone else.
14:01But thank you for the drink.
14:08I needed that.
14:31Sorry I ain't been around.
14:37I mean, I didn't even know you was here, did I?
14:39And, and, you know, if he had, he would have come straight back.
14:42Yeah, of course.
14:44Because from what I've seen so far, you're very kind and very special.
14:50Look, none of this changes what you've got here, you know, with our family.
14:54It won't change where you live or anything like that.
14:56No, of course not.
14:57It's like Christmas, isn't it?
15:00You've got all your favourite toys and then Christmas comes along.
15:02If you're lucky, you get some new ones.
15:04You still love the old ones the same, don't you?
15:08I can see how much you love that one.
15:10Are you going to live here?
15:13Er, nah.
15:14Why not?
15:15Well, because not all mums and dads live together, do they?
15:18But I'm going to be really, really nearby.
15:20And eventually, you can come and stay with me.
15:23You know, just hang out.
15:28Whatever.
15:30Have you, um, got any more questions, sweetheart?
15:33Yeah, go on.
15:34Yeah, ask what you want.
15:35Can Daddy watch the Grinch with me?
15:39Oh, I don't know.
15:40It's a bit late.
15:42She's obsessed with it at the minute.
15:43She likes the little girl in it.
15:46Must be talking about, um, Cindy Lou.
15:49Is it Cindy Lou?
15:51Yeah, yeah, how do you know that?
15:53Now do I know that?
15:54I love the Grinch.
15:55My favourite film.
16:02Alfie, a minute.
16:03Give me a second.
16:03Give me a second.
16:05Winston.
16:09I'm going to tell you now, I'm going to be honest with you,
16:10it's going to take you two days to defrost this band.
16:13You are kidding me.
16:14Well, it looks like McClankys.
16:15Merry Christmas to you all, doesn't it?
16:17Cheers, mate.
16:18Just because a present is practical, it doesn't mean to say it's no good.
16:22I'm not going to buy a cat washing up gloves for Christmas.
16:25At least the boys will love their present,
16:27and it'll keep them up those silly screens, awful screens, horrible screens.
16:31Are you drunk?
16:32No.
16:33But that is a very good idea.
16:35All right.
16:39Here we go, mate.
16:41It's a new dawn, mate.
16:43A new era.
16:44Yeah, and that starts with one pint.
16:45Okay, well, I think you'll find that's your fault.
16:48Yeah, well, I'm in the Christmas spirit, aren't I?
16:50Me and my dad for a pint before the Carol concert.
16:54It feels like that bit in the end of that movie
16:56where Michael Caine turns nice and makes friends with all those, um...
17:00Muppets.
17:01Uh, Muppets, yes.
17:03So, you meet your dad, eh?
17:05Mm-hmm.
17:05Before the concert.
17:06Mm-hmm.
17:07Okay.
17:08He's kind of doing fine, isn't he?
17:11There you go.
17:12Cheers, Oscar.
17:12Cheers.
17:12Cheers.
17:12Cheers.
17:13Cheers.
17:14Cheers.
17:15Cheers.
17:16Cheers.
17:17Cheers.
17:18Cheers.
17:19Cheers.
17:19Cheers.
17:20Cheers.
17:21Oh!
17:22Fancy a pint.
17:23You all right?
17:24Fancy a old chocolate, dummy?
17:25Yeah.
17:25Don't mind if I do.
17:26He did.
17:27All right, you lot.
17:28You're all right.
17:29Yeah.
17:29Yeah, you're all right.
17:30Yeah.
17:31Yeah, of course.
17:32Bye.
17:33You managed to find a gift for him.
17:37Yeah.
17:38Got an early edition of Camus a stranger.
17:41He'll love that.
17:42Mm.
17:43That's really nice, Zach.
17:49There we go.
17:50All right.
17:52Do you wear the carols, yeah?
17:53Yeah, you too.
17:54I'm not great at reading people, but from what I saw there, you've got a bit of a thing
18:01for Vicky.
18:02You are right.
18:03You are right.
18:04You ain't great at reading people, but from what I saw there, you've got a bit of a thing
18:10for Vicky.
18:11You are right.
18:12You are right.
18:13Great at reading people.
18:33Nug Kai.
18:34Who hear.
18:35…And heaven and nature sing.
18:37And heaven and nature sing.
18:39And heaven and nature sing.
18:43Oh my God.
18:48Anyone fancy their carols?
18:53Come on, someone needs to talk around saying Bach Humbug.
18:57Yeah, Sam's right up the streets.
18:58Mm-hmm.
18:59I was going to watch your film Pat Moj.
19:01Not die hard again.
19:03No, it's a wonderful life, I think.
19:05Right.
19:06So, sounds like we're gonna be spending Christmas
19:08blubbing on the sofa.
19:10Thank you, Phil.
19:12What for?
19:14Just... being my brother.
19:17What I'm going through, it makes it a lot easier
19:19knowing family's around.
19:22Well...
19:23Believe me.
19:25If I had any choice in the matter.
19:27Right, I'm just gonna sit there.
19:32She swore it weren't her.
19:34Okay, I...
19:35So, what are you saying, what, you're not convinced?
19:37I just feel like we're running out of time.
19:40That message a couple of weeks ago,
19:42it ain't over yet, Merry Christmas,
19:44and then they start a fire.
19:46I'm looking around the square and I'm thinking,
19:47this could be anyone, and I haven't got a clue who it is.
19:49Kat, listen, seriously, sweet.
19:51I know it's gonna happen tomorrow, all right?
19:52We've got a packed pub.
19:54Now...
19:55Listen, if you want, I can talk to the police again,
19:57see if they'll go on high alert, yeah?
19:59No.
20:00Zoe would hate that.
20:01Okay, okay, well then...
20:02We protect her.
20:03Yeah?
20:04We keep an eye on her, all right?
20:06We wanna make sure we have a great time.
20:07Oh, come on, come on, come on.
20:08It'll be all right.
20:09Come on, let's not forget.
20:11IT'S CHRISTMAS!
20:13Oh, that hurts.
20:14Right, come on.
20:15Grab your coat.
20:16Let's get outside for some carols.
20:20Hey, Elsker, come on, mate.
20:21It's carol time.
20:23Hey, hey.
20:24Well, it looks like you had something bad to do, huh?
20:38Yeah.
20:39Merry Christmas, Dad.
20:41Oh, okay, hey.
20:42Oh, I can't see you.
20:43Oh, I can't see you.
20:44It looks like you, oh.
20:45I can't see you.
20:46Oh, I can't see you, oh, I can't see you.
20:47Let's go!
20:48Oh, yeah.
20:49No!
20:50No.
20:51Away in an angel, no grip for her bed.
21:05The little Lord Jesus, lay down his sweet head.
21:14Their tanks will come in soon.
21:16Oh, that'll make your landy very happy.
21:23Listen, but I know we haven't seen eye to eye.
21:29Look, it's a long time since we shared a winter warmer.
21:36I can't do this.
21:39It's cute, sat on the sofa, cuddled up, watched the whole movie.
21:49Really pleased for you, mate.
21:51That's really lovely, don't you?
21:52Go on.
21:53See you in a bit.
21:54Let me have a look here.
22:02Okay, so, yeah, you're not dead.
22:04Haven't been kidnapped.
22:05Sorry, mate.
22:06What's the excuse this time?
22:07I'm sorry.
22:09I should have called you.
22:10All right, I'm sorry.
22:11I've been with Annie.
22:12No.
22:13Well, I've been sat in the pub like a monk.
22:15Oh, Jack stepped up from me, didn't he?
22:17With Linda.
22:18Oh, Jack.
22:19Oh, that's pretty.
22:20Where is...
22:21Okay.
22:22Well, let me ask you something, yeah?
22:23Why do you think he did that?
22:24Hmm?
22:25Because he suddenly thinks you're the perfect dad.
22:28That's because he knows what he means to me, that's why.
22:30No, no, no, no.
22:31It's guilt.
22:33That's why he's doing it.
22:36What are you talking about?
22:38He knew about Annie.
22:41Hmm?
22:42Blowing it to me as well.
22:44Yeah?
22:45Look, Annie, look.
22:46I reckon half the square knows, too.
22:49I've been lying to you for months.
22:51Years.
22:53Yeah.
22:54And we're still lying now.
22:57Merry Christmas.
