00:00Did I wake you?
00:06Tea.
00:11Don't even think about it.
00:14Nothing happened, did I?
00:15Course not, she's got too much class.
00:17She'd never steep.
00:19First the christening, then Linda.
00:21Two weeks, and already everyone hates your guts.
00:24That's gotta be a record, isn't it?
00:26No, I'm on it. I'm sorting it out, aren't I?
00:28Oh, is that gonna be a New Year's resolution?
00:29Yeah, exactly.
00:31Don't do me that tea, will you? My ears banging.
00:33Oh, you want a cuppa?

07:28Thank you for doing this for us. Really appreciate it.
07:31No problem. Anything we can do to help.
07:33Oh, and, erm, just a word of advice.
07:36When Nigel gets confused, as he often does,
07:38erm, the best thing is just to play along with it.
07:40Don't try and correct him or anything.
07:42Path of least resistance.
07:43Yeah, I will.
07:44Hi, Her.
07:45Hiya.
07:46Does anyone fancy a cup, too?
07:48Yeah, I'd love one.

08:52No, no, no, not yet.
08:53I've just managed to get the pub open, but it's all, er, it's all very quiet, you know?
08:58Yeah.
08:59Lovely.
09:00Thanks, sweetheart.
09:01See you.
09:10You're flying low, nice.
09:11What?
09:12I've no idea what you're talking about.
09:21You look so beautiful today.
09:23Aww.
09:24I love you, Julie.
09:25Sorry, mate, I don't want to embarrass you.
09:29It's just, um, it's our anniversary.
09:31Well, er, wedding.
09:33No, first date.
09:34No.
09:35It's exactly a year since we first met.
09:39Maybe we should do something tonight.
09:43Go out, you know, er, do something special.
09:46It's New Year's Eve, huh?
09:48Maybe, um, a meal?
09:50You know, just the two of us.
09:52That would be lovely.
09:55Oh.
09:57Oh.
09:58I should've known.
10:00Sorry, I just...
10:01Yeah.
10:02Don't have a go here, Lauren, all right?
10:03I only asked him to get you here, cos I knew you wouldn't come for me.
10:05Yeah, too, right.
10:06Can we just not sit down and talk, please, for ten minutes?
10:09Well, when do we get a chance to spend time together, just the three of us?
10:15Ten minutes.
10:21Clock's ticking.
10:22I just want to apologise, Cecil.
10:23To both of you, all right?
10:24I've been thinking about my behaviour, all right?
10:25How messed up it is.
10:26How messed up I am.
10:27I'll keep repeating the same toxic patterns I have done for years.
10:28Just self-destructive, innit?
10:29Pointless.
10:30I'm sorry I hurt you, all right?
10:31But I just hurt everyone, don't I?
10:32Cos I've got a problem.
10:33But when I sort it out, alright?
10:34I want to sort it out, all right?
10:35I've been trying to figure out a way to stop, cos I really do want to stop.
10:42I'm just let you know how messed up I am.
10:44And I'll keep repeating the same toxic patterns I have done for years.
10:48Just self-destructive, innit?
10:50Pointless.
10:51I'm sorry I hurt you, all right?
10:53But I just hurt everyone, don't I?
10:56Cos I've got a problem.
10:57I want to sort it out, all right?
10:58I've been trying to figure out a way to stop, cos I really do want to stop.
11:03I'm determined.
11:06To do what?
11:11It's a private conversation.
11:13You want to know what he's been doing the past couple of days to you?
11:16Elaine, please, do me a favour.
11:17Getting smashed and trying to bed my daughter.
11:20Hands all over her.
11:21You're disgusting.
11:22She feels defiled.
11:24If you don't believe me, ask her.
11:30You know, that wasn't even true.
11:31You know, for a second, I actually started to believe you.
11:39But when it comes to a quick bunk-up, we are always going to be second best.
11:42No, that's not fair, all right?
11:43You and your brother are the most important thing in the world to me, Lauren.
11:46Yeah, keep telling yourself that.
11:51My kids come first, all right?
11:52Always have, always will.
11:55Do you think Abby or Bradley would agree with that?
11:58I don't.
12:01I don't know.
12:04Oscar.
12:05Oscar.
12:17Thank you, Chase.
13:18I don't think that Jack would like that food much, do you?
13:22No, I guess not.
13:31Max, got a minute?
13:33No.
13:33Come on, don't be like that.
13:34I'm not your enemy, okay?
13:36I had my cup of tea earlier.
13:37Look, that was down to me mum.
13:39I know what it's like to be hated by everyone and feel like you're the outsider.
13:42Not you, Ian, all right?
13:44No, you're not, all right?
13:45But I understand, all right?
13:46I understand how it feels sometimes to feel like you're alone, but especially this time
13:52of year.
13:52What do you want?
14:02Nothing.
14:02No, go on.
14:03Yeah, I know you.
14:04Just spit it out, will you?
14:04Before I give you a slap.
14:06I've got a proposal.
14:08All right, a business proposal.
14:09Something that's mutually beneficial.
14:10Not insurance.
14:11All right, Max, I've got you a...
14:12Let's call it a little present, yeah?
14:31What's this for?
14:33Help you out.
14:35Help you on your...
14:37Why?
14:37Look, it seems to me like there's nothing left for you around here anymore, all right?
14:45So, why don't you do yourself and everyone else a favour and just disappear?
14:53I'll tell you what, think of that as travel, you all right?
14:59Just help me on your way.
15:02What do you think on that, Jeep?
15:03Max, there is nothing left for you here.
15:08Don't you see that?
15:10Your kids hate you.
15:12Your brother hates you.
15:13Nobody, nobody wants you here anymore.
15:18All right, do yourself a favour and just go.
15:31What did you think you were going to do?
15:33Eh?
15:34What, attack him?
15:36Kill him?
15:37How's that going to help?
15:38I can't let Ravi strut around like nothing happened.
15:43Why does he get away with it?
15:46My dad's in prison.
15:48Barney's gone.
15:48He's destroyed our whole family.
15:50I need to do something.
15:52I need to pay him back.
15:54You kill him and then what?
15:55What, everything's sorted?
15:56What, you're happy again, are you?
15:57I don't know.
15:58I don't know.
16:00But if I don't, I know what's going to happen.
16:02It's going to keep playing with my head.
16:04And I'll start using again.
16:06I don't want to, but I'll relapse.
16:07I know I will.
16:08Okay, okay, okay.
16:10Oh, Tony, I'm here for you.
16:11I can't let him get away with this.
16:19I can't.
16:20No, no.
16:21No, no.
16:23And neither can I.
16:24What does that mean?
16:25Look, we are going to do this together, Harry.
16:28Yeah, but we have got to play this right.
16:30We've got to take our time.
16:31It has to be planned carefully so that it doesn't come back on us.
16:37I promise you, darling, Ravigalati is going to pay.
16:43Service.
16:44Yeah, I'm coming.
16:45Service.
16:47Follow your best bubbly, please.
16:50Okay.
16:51We're celebrating our engagement.
16:55Right.
16:55Yeah.
16:56We're getting married, me and Julie.
16:59Yeah.
16:59I'm very excited.
17:02On the air, yeah?
17:03Oh.
17:03Oh, thanks.
17:07Well, then, what are we doing later?
17:09Um.
17:10Well, you know, it's New Year's Eve.
17:11Is it?
17:12Yeah.
17:13We could go to a party.
17:16Yeah, only if there's dancing.
17:18I'm a really good dancer.
17:20And I love dancing, so.
17:23Let's do it.
17:24I love this one.
17:25Turn it up, Sharon.
17:25What is this?
17:55Well, I thought we'd have another go at christenin, DIY.
17:59It seemed like a good idea, but it's essentially just a bowl of water and a couple of candles,
18:03so it's not quite the same, but...
18:05It is so sweet.
18:09Louis's actually just gone to bed, so we might need to wait till the morning, but...
18:12Yeah, but... I love this idea, though.
18:15Yeah.
18:19I'm so lucky to have a husband like you.
18:22You're so kind and considerate.
18:25You've just got the biggest heart in the world.
18:30You just...
18:31You deserve the best, Lauren.
18:36You know that, don't you?
18:37Do I?
18:38Yes.
18:40You deserve better than him.
18:42A dad like him, you know?
18:45Well, I've got you now.
18:47Yeah.
18:47You and my boys.
18:48I don't need him in my life.
18:52I actually just need to get him out of my head.
18:54Why don't we go out?
18:58You know, blow off some steam.
19:01See the new year in style.
19:03What about our kids?
19:06They don't.
19:08I've told Gran and she could babysit her.
19:10Come on, it'll just be you and me.
19:13We'll just...
19:13We'll put the past behind us.
19:14No Macs.
19:15Just...
19:17Just us two.
19:18Look in...
19:19Look into the future.
19:21Together.
19:24Yeah?
19:24What are you doing?
19:41I don't know.
19:43What's it look like?
19:45This ain't because of the other night.
19:47Oh, no, no.
19:48I'm not having you blaming me, all right?
19:49You run out on your kids.
19:50That's on you.
19:50I ain't blaming you.
19:52For the record, all right?
19:53I'm sorry about what happened.
19:55I was drunk, yeah?
19:57I was out of order.
19:57Yeah, you were.
19:58Neil, I feel bad.
20:00You're right to knock me back.
20:04You're a lovely, nice person, yeah?
20:06But you should just...
20:07stay as far away from me as possible.
20:09Well, you think.
20:11Paid for the room.
20:12Look, you don't have to go right now.
20:14Yeah, of course I do.
20:16No one wants me here, do they?
20:19Everyone hates my guts.
20:21So what's the point of staying?
20:22Not yourself?
20:23No.
20:24No, that wouldn't work.
20:24I've spent years, years trying to change, you know?
20:28Something always goes wrong.
20:32That's this place, you know?
20:33It's got too much history here, too many bad memories.
20:38I'll stay, I'm just going to hurt people.
20:42It's best for everyone if I just go.
20:44Just run away.
20:45Yeah, exactly.
20:47Max Brannan.
20:48Coward.
20:49That's me.
20:55Say goodbye to Annie.
20:56No, no.
21:03It's on the house.
21:05New year, new start.
21:07I don't want a wall, Ravi.
21:10Cheers.
21:11No one should be alone in a museum.
21:27Sad and pathetic.
21:29Well, that's what I do every year.
21:31It's my life.
21:32Well, maybe it's time for a change.
21:48There you go.
21:49Good luck.
21:49I've got you a New Year's Eve present as well.
21:53No.
21:53Well, it's not just for you.
21:55It's for, um...
21:56Well, it's for everyone, the whole family.
21:58Oh, yeah?
21:59What is it?
22:01I got rid of Max.
22:02Oi, watch where you're going, mate.
22:24We've got a licence for their meals.
22:30Max.
22:31Max.
22:32Seven, is that it, all right?
22:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:37It's just, um...
22:39Look, uh...
22:41I know what it's like to feel trapped, all right?
22:45Stuck.
22:46I'm an addict.
22:48Alcoholic.
22:49With you, it's other stuff, but...
22:52We're not so different.
22:55I do understand.
23:00You ain't a bad bloke.
23:01I know that things have gone wrong when you was a kid.
23:10All sorts, but you don't have to carry on the same.
23:15Like, you've got a choice.
23:16You can choose to be the bloke that Tanya felt for.
23:22That had a family.
23:23A home.
23:25That I...
23:25You and me, you...
23:30You've got that inside of you.
23:35You know, running away, giving up is...
23:40It's not the answer, all right?
23:43You'll just end up somewhere else, feel exactly the same.
23:45Maybe...
23:47Maybe...
23:48Maybe your kids need you more than you think they do.
24:00It's nice of you to say.
24:04It's true.
24:07Believe in yourself.
