13:22No, I guess not.
13:28Max, 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.
13:37That 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 of year.
13:58What 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...
14:13Let's call it a little present, yeah?
14:28What's this for?
14:33To help you out.
14:35To help you on your way.
14:39Look, it seems to me like there's nothing left for you around here anymore.
14:45All right, so...
14:47Why don't you do yourself and everyone else a favour and just disappear?
14:53I'll tell you what.
14:55Think of that as travel, you all right?
14:59Just help you on your way.
15:02What do you think on that Jeep?
15:04Max, 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.
15:28What 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, are you 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 and I'll start using again.
16:06I don't want to, but I'll relapse.
16:07I know I will.
16:08You're okay, you're okay.
16:10I'm telling him, I'm here for you.
16:11No.
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.
16:40Ravi Gulati.
16:42It's going to pay.
16:43Service.
16:44Yeah, I'm coming.
16:45Service.
16:48Follow 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?
17:10Well, 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.
17:25Oh.
17:26Oh.
17:27You're a really good girl.
17:31Ha, ha, ha, ha.
17:33Oh.
17:34Oh.
17:36Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
17:37Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
17:40Did you spin me?
17:43Woo!
17:44Oi, are you okay?
17:51What is this?
17:55Well, I thought we'd have another go at christening, 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...
18:06It is so sweet.
18:07Louis has actually just gone to bed, so he 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.
18:39You deserve better than him.
18:41A dad like him, you know?
18:44Well, I've got you now.
18:46Yeah.
18:47You and my boys.
18:49I don't need him in my life.
18:51I actually just need to get him out of my head.
18:55When we go out, you know, blow off some steam, see the new year in style.
19:02What about our kids?
19:04I don't know.
19:05I've told Gran and she could babysit her.
19:09Come on, it'll just be you and me.
19:12We'll just...
19:13We'll put the past behind us.
19:14No Max.
19:15Just...
19:16Just us two, looking...
19:19Look into the future.
19:20Together.
19:21Together.
