00:00I'm sorry, didn't I wake you?
00:11Tea.
00:16Don't even think about it.
00:18Nothing happened, have I?
00:19Of course not, she's got too much class.
00:22She'd never steep.
00:24First a christening, then Linda.
00:26Two weeks and already everyone hates your guts.
00:29That's got to be a record, isn't it?
00:30No, I'm on it. I'm sorting it out, aren't I?
00:32Oh, is that going to be a New Year's resolution?
00:34Yeah, exactly.
00:36Don't do me that tea, will you? My ears banging.
00:38Oh, you want a cuppa?
00:40Then go to the caf.
00:41And you go near my daughter again.
00:43And I'll come at you with a carving knife.
00:45Harry's Barn, tonight I am having a killer of a New Year's Eve party.
01:00So come along, start your 2026 off right.
01:03I don't think I'm a bit too old for that.
01:05Oh, well, you weren't invited anyway.
01:07No offence, but I want a young, lively, fashionable crowd.
01:11That's us.
01:12It's going to be a lot more fun than any sad little affair you and Elaine are going to have.
01:20Ooh, a lot less drama, too.
01:21And what's that supposed to mean?
01:23Lover boy.
01:24Hey, you made quite a splash at the christmas.
01:25I think I've lost my appetite.
01:31Just leave it to me, OK?
01:33Ian, don't.
01:34Please.
01:39What is this fancy dress?
01:41No, I'm covering for my mum.
01:44She's at the dentist.
01:45Right, a cup of tea.
01:46And she left me strict instructions that you are not to be served your bard.
01:51Ian, I just want a cup of tea.
01:52Is that too much to ask?
01:53You ruined a beautiful day.
01:59That actually suits you, that does.
02:12Causing trouble?
02:14Yeah, always.
02:16Don't tell me you're interested.
02:19Oh, he's old.
02:21Well, I'm not adverse to a wrinkle or two.
02:23No, no, old geezers.
02:26They've got to be hot and young.
02:27Yeah?
02:28Yeah, new house rule.
02:29Oh, by the way, I'm moving in with Penny.
02:31Oh, are you?
02:32Mm-hmm.
02:32I mean, beggars can't be choosers, so.
02:34Let's go to this party.
02:35Bring the new year in with the bang.
02:37Meet some hot blokes.
02:38Oh, jeez, I need it.
02:40It's been too long.
02:41Cobwebs, is it?
02:42Oh, my God.
02:44I'm so kidding.
02:48That man killed our son.
02:51I just can't bear it.
02:53If you have any more issues with him, okay, you come straight to me and I'll deal with it.
02:59I promise you.
03:00Sorry.
03:05So, are you good to be back?
03:07Yeah, great.
03:08Trying to keep busy, you know.
03:11Yeah, well, I'm busy myself the rest of the day.
03:12Sort the stuff out for Nige.
03:14But, um, I'll be back next week, all right?
03:17Yeah.
03:17Sorry.
03:25Sorry, I'm just, uh...
03:27Just what?
03:30Listen, I know, I know, it's hard, you know, being out.
03:34All this temptation around you.
03:36It's not that.
03:37It's just difficult after everything that happened.
03:39Listen, you've got nothing to be ashamed of.
03:41Yeah?
03:43Believe me, I know a thing I'd say about addiction and that, Morris.
03:46It's like a 24-hour job just trying to keep on top of it.
03:49But you concentrate on work, keep your head down and you'll do it, you'll be fine.
03:52How can I be fine?
03:54I hate the fact that my dad, my family, having to pay for this,
03:57when other people walk around and scot-free, it ain't right, it's not fair.
04:01Someone crosses my family, I deal with them, that's how I sleep at night.
04:06You've got an itch, you scratch it.
04:10Any problems?
04:13Give me a call.
04:16I reckon that it.
04:23Er, no, that it.
04:26Got it?
04:29Sorry about the other day.
04:33Well, my fault.
04:35And Peter is a very irritating bloke.
04:37Yeah, hot bloke.
04:39You're bummer-in-law, are you?
04:41So?
04:41He is hacked off with you.
04:44Yeah, yeah, I know.
04:46I'm going to make it up to it.
04:49Lauren.
04:50Yeah, well, tell her that, don't you?
04:51Yeah, she won't listen to me, or she?
04:56Well, I'll take you out for lunch later.
04:57Yeah.
04:58I'll say sorry, give me a chance to make it up to you both.
05:00Yeah, look, she's not going to be into that.
05:03Just maybe don't tell her that you're meeting me, aren't we?
05:07An ambush?
05:08Yeah.
05:09What could possibly go wrong?
05:10Come on, I'll speak just to forgive us.
05:13Family.
05:13I can't talk that around.
05:17I just need your help.
05:25It's not your fault.
05:26No, it's him.
05:28It's always him.
05:29It's just him, innit?
05:30Yes, but the whole day was ruined.
05:32And Jimmy might not remember it, but Louie definitely will.
05:35Yeah.
05:35We don't get another shot.
05:37I just feel like I let them both down.
05:39I, uh...
05:44All right?
05:44Yeah.
05:45We're just moving everything back in.
05:47Yeah, I'm actually just going to pop out.
05:48See you later.
05:52What was that about?
05:54Max.
05:56I don't know, we'd all be just so much better off
05:57if he just weren't around.
05:59What are we going to do?
06:00He just ruins everything.
06:01He makes Lauren unhappy.
06:02I just wish there was a way we could just get rid of him.
06:05No.
06:06I might just have an idea.
06:09Hey!
06:12It was kind of to see you.
06:13Uh, sorry.
06:14I've got things to do.
06:16Well, what about later?
06:17Hi.
06:18I don't know, catch up.
06:19About...
06:20Stuff.
06:22Oh.
06:23Jasmine.
06:24What?
06:24No.
06:24What?
06:25No.
06:25Well, maybe.
06:27Oh, no, my head's mashed.
06:28Could do with, um, talking it through.
06:30Are you asking for some healthy little rubber?
06:33Buy you lunch?
06:34A bit.
06:35Hmm.
06:36Last of the big spenders.
06:37I can stretch the umpire chips.
06:41That's it.
06:42Deal.

07:04So what does he like?
07:15Well, just ask him, yeah, yeah, and your baby.
07:18So just keep your eye on him and make sure he don't disappear.
07:22That's all you've got to do.
07:23Well, can I call you?
07:24We're going to be busy, you know, sort of out of care homes and stuff.
07:26And I can't have you on the phone, you know,
07:28going into a meltdown every time he thinks he's 19 again.
07:31And don't worry about it, it'll be absolute fine.
07:33Er, thank you for doing this for us, really appreciate it.
07:36No problem, anything we can do to help.
07:39Oh, and, erm, just a word of advice.
07:41When Nigel gets confused, as he often does,
07:43the best thing is just to play along with it.
07:46Don't try and correct him or anything. Path of least resistance.
07:48Yeah, all right, well...
07:49Hi, her!
07:50Hiya!
07:51Does anyone fancy a cup, too?
07:53Yeah, I'd love one.
07:56Do you fancy going for a bit of lunch later?
07:58We could go to the caf or the vic, whatever you fancy.
08:00Yeah, yeah.
08:01Yeah.
08:01Yeah, so you, you, erm,
08:04might want to stick on some strides first, no, I'd say.
08:07Yeah, of course.
08:08Um...
08:09This is strictly casual wear.
08:11No, I'll, I'll get dressed.
08:14Sorry.
08:15All right, darling, what can I get you?
08:31Um, a G&T double.
08:33OK.
08:33I'm sorry, Alf, I'll get her.
08:35All right.
08:37Yeah, erm...
08:38Patrick's filled me in on everything.
08:45Look, if you need anyone to talk to...
08:48I'm here.
08:50Thanks.
08:52Here you go, darling.
08:53So, how's Paddy doing?
08:55Not great.
08:56Oh.
08:56So, what, you moved back in?
08:58No, no, no, not yet.
08:59I've just managed to get the...
09:00the pub open, but it's all, er...
09:02it's all very quiet, you know.
09:03Mm.
09:04There you go.
09:05Yep.
09:06Lovely.
09:06Thanks, sweetheart.
09:07See you.
09:15You're flying low, Nigel.
09:17What?
09:17I've no idea what you're talking about.
09:18You look so beautiful today.
09:29Aw.
09:30I love you, Julie.
09:33Sorry, mate, I don't want to embarrass you.
09:35It's just, um, it's our anniversary.
09:37Well, uh, wedding.
09:39No, first date.
09:40No, it's exactly a year since we first met.
09:44Maybe we should do something tonight.
09:49Come out, you know, er, do something special.
09:52It's New Year's Eve, right?
09:53Maybe, um, it's a meal.
09:56You know, just the two of us.
09:59That would be lovely.
10:00Oh.
10:03Lara.
10:05I should have known.
10:06Sorry, I just...
10:07Yeah, don't have a guy here, Lauren, all right?
10:08I only asked him to get you here,
10:09because I knew you wouldn't come for me.
10:11Yeah, too, right?
10:11Can we just not sit down and talk, please,
10:13for ten minutes?
10:15Well, when do we get a chance to spend time together,
10:17just the three of us?
10:20Ten minutes.
10:27Clock's ticking.
10:31I just want to apologise, Cecil.
10:34To both of you, all right?
10:35I've been thinking about my behaviour, all right?
10:37How messed up it is.
10:39How messed up I am.
10:41I'll keep repeating the same toxic patterns
10:43I have done for years.
10:46Just self-destructive, innit?
10:48Pointless.
10:51I'm sorry I hurt you, all right?
10:53But I just hurt everyone, don't I?
10:54Because I've got a problem.
10:57But I want to sort it out, all right?
11:02I've been trying to figure out a way to stop,
11:04because I really do want to stop.
11:08I'm determined.
11:08To do what?
11:15It's a private conversation.
11:18You want to know what he's been doing
11:19the past couple of days, do you?
11:21Elaine, please, do me a favour.
11:22Getting smashed and trying to bed my daughter.
11:25Hands all over her.
11:26You're disgusting.
11:27She feels defiled.
11:29If you don't believe me, ask her.
11:31You know, that wasn't even true.
11:36You know, for a second, I...
11:38I actually...
11:39I actually started to believe you.
11:44But when it comes to a quick bunk-up,
11:46we are always going to be second best.
11:47No, that's not fair, all right?
11:48You and your brother are the most important thing
11:50in the world to me, Lauren.
11:51Yeah, keep telling yourself that.
