00:00Oh, sorry, did I wake you?
00:23See?
00:28Don't even think about it.
00:30Nothing happened, did I?
00:31Of course not. She's got too much class.
00:33She'd never stoop.
00:35First the christening, then Linda.
00:38Two weeks, and already everyone hates your guts.
00:41That's got to be a record, hasn't it?
00:42No, I'm on it. I'm sorting it out, aren't I?
00:44Oh, is that going to be a New Year's resolution?
00:46Yeah, exactly.
00:48Don't do me that tea, will you? My head's banging.
00:50Oh, you want a cuppa?
00:51Then go to the caf.
00:53And you go near my daughter again.
00:55And I'll come at you with a carving knife.
00:57Harry's Barn.
01:08Tonight, I am having a killer of a New Year's Eve party,
01:12so come along.
01:13Start your 2026 off right.
01:14I don't think I'm a bit too old for that.
01:17Oh, well, you weren't invited anyway.
01:19No offence, but I want a young, lively, fashionable crowd.
01:23That's us.
01:24It's going to be a lot more fun
01:25than any sad little affair you and Elaine are going to have.
01:27Ooh, a lot less drama, too.
01:33And what's that supposed to mean?
01:35Lover boy.
01:36Oh, you made quite a splash at the Christmas.
01:41I think I've lost my appetite.
01:43Just leave it to me, okay?
01:45Ian, don't.
01:46Please.
01:51What is this fancy dress?
01:52No, I'm covering for my mum.
01:55She's at the dentist.
01:57Right.
01:57Cup of tea.
01:58And she left me strict instructions
02:00that you are not to be served your bar.
02:03Ian, I just want a cup of tea.
02:04Is that too much to ask?
02:06You ruined a beautiful day.
02:11That actually suits you, that does.
02:12Causing trouble?
02:26Yeah, always.
02:28Oh, don't tell me you're interested.
02:31Oh, he's old.
02:33Well, I'm not adverse to a wrinkle or two.
02:35No, no, old geezers.
02:38They've got to be hot and young.
02:39Yeah?
02:40Yeah, new house rule.
02:41Oh, by the way, I'm moving in with Penny.
02:43Oh, are you?
02:44Mm-hmm.
02:44I mean, beggars can't be choosers, so.
02:46Let's go to this party.
02:47Bring the new year in with the bang.
02:49Oh, meet some hot blokes.
02:50Oh, please, I need it.
02:52It's been too long.
02:53It's all right.
02:54Cobwebs, is it?
02:55Oh, my God.
02:56I'm so glad.
03:00That man killed our son.
03:03I just can't bear it.
03:05If you have any more issues with him, okay,
03:08you come straight to me, and I'll deal with it.
03:11I promise you.
03:13Sorry.
03:17So, you good to be back?
03:19Yeah, great.
03:20Trying to keep busy, you know.
03:22Yeah, well, I'm busy myself the rest of the day.
03:24Sort the stuff out for Nigel.
03:26But, uh, I'll be back next week, all right?
03:29Yeah.
03:29Sorry.
03:37Sorry, I'll just, uh, just what?
03:42Listen, I know, I know, it's hard, you know, being out.
03:46All this temptation around you.
03:48It's not that.
03:49It's just difficult after everything that happened.
03:51Listen, you've got nothing to be ashamed of.
03:53Yeah?
03:55Believe me, I know a thing or two about addiction and that.
03:57Well, it's like a 24-hour job just trying to keep on top of it.
04:01But you concentrate on work, keep your head down, and you'll do it.
04:04You'll be fine.
04:04How can I be fine?
04:06I hate the fact that my dad, my family, having to pay for this.
04:09When other people walk around scot-free, it ain't right.
04:11It's not fair.
04:13Someone crosses my family.
04:15I deal with them.
04:16That's how I sleep at night.
04:18You've got an itch, you scratch it.
04:22Any problems?
04:25Give me a call.
04:25I'm sorry about the other day.
04:44Well, my fault.
04:47Peter is a very irritating bloke.
04:49Yeah, hot boy.
04:51You're bummering it already.
04:53So?
04:53He is hacked off with you.
04:56Yeah, yeah, I know.
04:58I'm going to make it up to it.
05:01Lauren.
05:01Yeah, well, tell her that, don't you?
05:03Yeah, she won't listen to me, will she?
05:07Well, I'll take you out for lunch later.
05:09Ah.
05:10I'll say sorry.
05:11Give me a chance to make it up to you, bud.
05:13Yeah, look, she's not going to be into that.
05:15Just maybe don't tell her that you're meeting me, I don't know.
05:19An ambush?
05:20Yeah.
05:21What could possibly go wrong?
05:22Oh, come on, Oscar, just a few of us.
05:25Family.
05:27I can't talk her around.
05:29I just need your help.
05:37It's not your fault.
05:38No, it's him.
05:39It's always him.
05:41It's just him, innit?
05:42Yes, but the whole day was ruined.
05:44And Jimmy might not remember it, but Louie definitely will.
05:47Yeah.
05:47We don't get another shot.
05:49I just feel like I let them both down.
05:54I, uh...
05:55All right?
05:56Yeah.
05:57We're just moving everything back in.
05:59Yeah, I'm actually just going to pop out.
06:00See you later.
06:04What was that about?
06:06Max.
06:08I don't know, we'd all be just so much better off if he just weren't around.
06:11What are we going to do?
06:12He just ruins everything.
06:13He makes Lauren unhappy.
06:14I just, I wish there was a way we could just get rid of him.
06:17No.
06:18I might just have an idea.
06:22Hey!
06:24It was kind of to see you.
06:25Uh, sorry.
06:26I've got things to do.
06:27Well, what about later?
06:29Hi.
06:30I don't know, catch up.
06:31About?
06:32Stuff.
06:33Oh.
06:35Jasmine.
06:35What?
06:36No.
06:36What?
06:37No.
06:37Well, maybe.
06:39Oh, no, my head's mashed.
06:40Could do, um, talking it through.
06:42Are you asking for some help, little brother?
06:45Buy lunch, a bit.
06:47Oh.
06:48Last of the big spenders.
06:50I can stretch the umpire.
06:52Chips.
06:53That's it.
06:54Deal.
06:55I'll see you there.
07:12So, what does he like?
07:27Oh, just ask him, yeah, yeah.
07:29And your baby.
07:30Yeah.
07:31So, just keep your eye on him and make sure that he don't disappear.
07:34That's all you've got to do.
07:35Well, can I call you?
07:35We're going to be busy, you know, sorting out of care rooms and stuff.
07:38And I can't have you on the phone, you know, going into a meltdown every time he thinks he's 19 again.
07:43And don't worry about it.
07:44It'll be absolutely fine.
07:45Thank you for doing this for us.
07:47Really appreciate it.
07:48No problem.
07:49Anything we can do to help.
07:50Oh, and, um, just a word of advice.
07:53When Nigel gets confused, as he often does, um, the best thing is just to play along with it.
07:57Don't try and correct him or anything.
07:59Path of least resistance.
08:00Yeah, I will.
08:01Hi, her.
08:02Hi, her.
08:03Does anyone fancy a cup to you?
08:05Yeah, I'd love one.
08:06Do you fancy going for a bit of lunch later?
08:10We could go to the caf or the vic, whatever you fancy.
08:12Yeah, yeah.
08:13Yeah.
08:14Yeah, so you, you, um, might want to stick on some strides first, no, I'd say.
08:19Yeah, of course.
08:20Um, this is strictly casual wear.
08:23I'll, uh, I'll get dressed.
08:26Sorry.
08:27All right, darling, what can I get you?
08:43Um, a G&T double.
08:45Okay.
08:45Um, it's all right, Alf, I'll get, I'll get her.
08:47All right.
08:49Yeah, um, Patrick's filled me in on everything.
08:55Look, if you need anyone to talk to, I'm here.
09:02Thanks.
09:04Here you go, darling.
09:05So, how's Paddy doing?
09:07Not great.
09:08Oh.
09:08So, what, you moved back in?
09:10No, no, no, not yet.
09:11I've just managed to get the pub open, but it's all, uh, it's all very quiet.
09:15Yeah.
09:17Yeah.
09:18Lovely.
09:18Thanks, sweetheart.
09:19See you.
09:20See you.
09:20You're flying low, nice.
09:29What?
09:29I've no idea what you're talking about.
09:38You look so beautiful today.
09:41Aw.
09:42I love you, Julie.
09:42Sorry, mate, I don't want to embarrass you, it's just, um, it's our anniversary.
09:49Well, uh, wedding, no, first date, no, it's exactly a year since we first met.
09:59Maybe we should do something tonight, come on, you know, uh, do something special.
10:04It's New Year's Eve, huh?
10:05Maybe, um, a meal?
10:08You know, just the two of us.
10:10That would be lovely.
10:15Lara.
10:17I should have known.
10:18Sorry, I just, yeah.
10:19Don't have a guy here, Lauren, all right?
10:20I only asked him to get you here, because I knew you wouldn't come for me.
10:22Yeah, two, right?
10:23Can we just not sit down and talk, please, for ten minutes?
10:27Well, when do we get a chance to spend time together, just for rivers?
10:32Ten minutes.
10:33Clock's ticking.
10:43I just want to apologise, Cecil.
10:46To both of you, all right?
10:47I've been thinking about my behaviour, all right?
10:49How messed up it is.
10:51How messed up I am.
10:53I'll keep repeating the same toxic patterns I have done for years.
10:58Just self-destructive, isn't it?
10:59Pointless.
11:00I'm sorry I hurt you, all right?
11:05But I just hurt everyone, don't I?
11:06Because I've got a problem.
11:09But I want to sort it out, all right?
11:14I've been trying to figure out a way to stop,
11:16because I really do want to stop.
11:20I'm determined.
11:23To do what?
11:27It's a private conversation.
11:29You want to know what he's been doing the past couple of days, do you?
11:32Elaine, please, do me a favour.
11:34Getting smashed and trying to bed my daughter.
11:37Hands all over her.
11:38You're disgusting.
11:39She feels defiled.
11:41If you don't believe me, ask her.
11:47You know, that wasn't even true.
11:48You know, for a second, I...
11:50I actually...
11:52I actually started to believe you.
11:54But when it comes to a quick bunk-up,
11:57we are always going to be second best.
11:59No, that's not fair, all right?
12:00You and your brother are the most important thing in the world to me, Lauren.
12:03Yeah, keep telling yourself that.
12:08My kids come first, all right?
12:09Always have, always will.
12:12Do you think Abby or Bradley would agree with that?
12:15I don't.
12:15Oscar, Oscar.
12:34Come here, Chase.
13:27Drinking alone?
13:29Not a good sign.
13:32You want to join me?
13:33I don't think that Jack would like that very much to you.
13:39No, I guess not.
13:48Max, got a minute?
13:49No.
13:50Come on, don't be like that.
13:51I'm not your enemy, okay?
13:53I drank my cup of tea earlier.
13:54No, that was down to me mum.
13:55I know what it's like to be hated by everyone and feel like you're the outside.
13:59Not you, Ian, all right?
14:01No, you're not, all right?
14:02But I understand, all right?
14:03I understand how it feels sometimes to feel like you're alone, but especially this time
14:09of year.
14:09What do you want?
14:19Nothing.
14:19No, go on.
14:20Yeah, I know you.
14:20Just spit it out, will you?
14:21Before I give you a slap.
14:23I've got a proposal.
14:25All right, a business proposal.
14:26Something that's mutually beneficial.
14:27Not interested.
14:28All right, Max, I've got you a...
14:29Let's call it a little present, yeah?
14:47What's this for?
14:50Help you out.
14:52Help you on your...
14:54way.
14:55Look, it seems to me like there's...
14:57nothing left for you around here anymore, all right?
15:02So...
15:03Why don't you do yourself and everyone else a favour and just disappear?
15:10I'll tell you what.
15:12Think of that as travel, you all right?
15:16Just help me on your way.
15:19What do you think on that, Jeep?
15:21Max, there is nothing left for you here.
15:25Don't you see that?
15:27Your kids hate you.
15:28Your brother hates you.
15:30Nobody, nobody...
15:32wants you here anymore.
15:35All right, do yourself a favour.
15:38And just go.
15:39What did you think you were going to do?
15:50Eh?
15:51What, attack him?
15:53Kill him?
15:54How's that going to help?
15:55I can't let Ravi strut around like nothing happened.
16:00Why does he get away with it?
16:02My dad's in prison.
16:04Barney's gone.
16:05He's destroyed our whole family.
16:07I need to do something.
16:09I need to pay him back.
16:11Yeah, but you kill him and then what?
16:12What, everything's sorted?
16:13What, you're happy again, are you?
16:14I don't know.
16:15I don't know.
16:17But if I don't, I know what's going to happen.
16:19It's going to keep playing with my head
16:21and I'll start using again.
16:23I don't want to, but I'll relapse.
16:24I know I will.
16:25You're okay, you're okay.
16:27Oh, darling, I'm here for you, Lord.
16:31I can't let him get away with this.
16:36I can't.
16:36No, no.
16:38No, no.
16:40And neither can I.
16:41What does that mean?
16:42Look, we are going to do this together, Harry.
16:45Yeah, but we have got to play this right.
16:47We've got to take our time.
16:48It has to be planned carefully
16:50so that it doesn't come back on us.
16:52I promise you, darling,
16:57Ravi Galati is going to pay.
17:00Service.
17:01Yeah, I'm coming.
17:02Service.
17:05What are your best bubbly, please?
17:07Okay.
17:08We're celebrating our engagement.
17:11Right.
17:12Yeah.
17:13We're getting married, me and Julie.
17:15Yeah.
17:16I'm very excited.
17:18On the air, yeah?
17:20Oh.
17:20Oh, nice.
17:21Well, then, what are we doing later?
17:26Um...
17:26Well, you know, it's New Year's Eve.
17:28Is it?
17:29Yeah.
17:30We could go to a party.
17:33Yeah, only if there's dancing.
17:35I'm a really good dancer.
17:37And I love dancing, so...
17:39Let's do it.
17:40I love this one.
17:41Turn it up, Sharon.
17:42Oh.
17:43He's wearing it all.
17:46Oh.
17:47He's wearing it.
17:47He's wearing it.
17:48Ha ha ha ha ha.
17:50Oh, no.
17:53He's wearing it.
17:54Speaking of the taiwan's...
17:56The chi-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti...
17:59Sydney!
18:00Oh, oh, oh!
18:01That's all I do!
18:02Oh, are you okay?
18:11What is this?
18:12Well, I thought we'd have another go at christening, DIY.
18:16It seemed like a good idea, but it's essentially just a bowl of water and a couple of candles,
18:20so it's not quite the same, but...
18:23It is so sweet.
18:25Louie's actually just gone to bed, so we might need to wait till the morning, but...
18:29Yeah, but...
18:30I love this idea, though.
18:32Yeah.
18:36I'm so lucky to have a husband like you.
18:39You're so kind and considerate.
18:42You've just got the biggest heart in the world.
18:47You just...
18:49You deserve the best, Lauren.
18:53You know that, don't you?
18:55Do I?
18:56Yes.
18:57You deserve better than him.
18:59My dad like him, you know?
19:02Well, I've got you now.
19:04Yeah.
19:05You and my boys.
19:07I don't need him in my life.
19:09I actually just need to get him out of my head.
19:14Why don't we go out?
19:16You know, blow off some steam.
19:18See the new year in style.
19:20What about our kids?
19:23They don't.
19:24I've told Gran and she could babysit her.
19:27Come on, it'll just be you and me.
19:29We'll just...
19:30We'll put the past behind us.
19:31No Max.
19:33Just...
19:35Just us two, looking...
19:37Look into the future.
19:38Together.
19:40Yeah?
19:58What are you doing?
19:59I don't know.
20:00What's it look like?
20:02This ain't because of the other night.
20:04Oh no, no.
20:05I'm not having you blaming me, alright?
20:06You run out on your kids.
20:07That's on you.
20:08I ain't blaming you.
20:10For the record, alright?
20:11I'm sorry about what happened.
20:13I was drunk, yeah?
20:14I was out of order.
20:15Yeah, you were.
20:16Neil, I feel bad.
20:18You're right to knock me back.
20:21You're a lovely, nice person, yeah?
20:23But you should just...
20:24stay as far away from me as possible.
20:26What do you think?
20:28I paid for the room.
20:29Alright.
20:30But you don't have to go right now.
20:31Yeah, of course I do.
20:33No one wants me here, do they?
20:36Everyone hates my guts.
20:37So what's the point of staying?
20:39Yourself?
20:40Nah.
20:41Nah, it wouldn't work.
20:43I spent years, years trying to change, you know?
20:45Something always goes wrong.
20:49Now it's this place, you know, it's...
20:51I've got too much history here, too many bad memories.
20:55I'll stay, I'm just gonna hurt people.
20:59It's best for everyone if I just go.
21:01Just run away.
21:02Yeah, exactly.
21:04Max Brannan.
21:05Coward.
21:07That's me.
21:12Say goodbye to Annie.
21:13No, no.
21:20It's on the house.
21:22New year, new start.
21:24I don't want a war, Ravi.
21:27Cheers.
21:28No one should be alone on the scene.
21:44Sad and pathetic.
21:45Well, that's what I do every year.
21:48It's my life.
21:52Well, maybe it's time for a change.
21:57Can I do it?
22:05There you go.
22:08I've got your New Year's Eve present as well.
22:10No.
22:11Well, it's not just for you, it's for...
22:13Well, it's for everyone, the whole family.
22:15Oh, yeah?
22:17What is it?
22:19I got rid of Max.
22:24I'm coming.
22:25Give me a couple of minutes.
22:26Oi!
22:27Watch where you're going, mate.
22:29We got a licence for their meals.
22:48Max.
22:49Max.
22:50Seven is only all right.
22:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:54It's just, um...
22:56Look, uh...
22:59I know what it's like to feel trapped.
23:01All right, stuck.
23:03I'm an addict.
23:05Alcoholic.
23:06With you, it's other stuff, but...
23:09We're not so different.
23:12I do understand.
23:13You ain't a bad bloke.
23:14I...
23:15I know that.
23:17Things have...
23:18Have gone wrong.
23:20When you was a kid.
23:21All sorts, but...
23:22You don't...
23:23You don't have to carry on the same.
23:25You've got a choice.
23:27You can choose to be the bloke that Tanya felt for.
23:29That had a family.
23:30That had a family.
23:31A home.
23:33That I...
23:35You and me, you...
23:37I've got that inside of you.
23:39No running away.
23:40Giving up is...
23:41It's not the answer, all right?
23:42You just end up somewhere else.
23:43Feel exactly the same.
23:44Maybe...
23:45Maybe your kids need you.
23:46More than you think they do.
23:47You and me, you...
23:51You've got that inside of you.
23:54No running away.
23:56Giving up is...
23:59It's not the answer, all right?
24:00You just end up somewhere else.
24:01Feel exactly the same.
24:05Maybe...
24:07Maybe your kids need you.
24:09More than you think they do.
24:17It's nice of you to say.
24:21It's true.
24:24Believe in yourself.
24:28I do.
24:35Happy New Year.
24:47Happy New Year.
25:12All right, everyone!
25:13Fill your glasses!
25:15Five minutes to go!
25:18And...
25:19And...
25:20And...
25:21And fireworks to the square.
25:22Curtsy and feel's ills!
25:24Hey, straight back in!
25:25And your first glass of bubbly's on the out!
25:27Yeah!
25:29And it's a lot!
25:31I'm dreaming.
25:32I'm dreaming.
25:34I'm dreaming.
25:36I'm dreaming.
25:38I'm dreaming.
25:40I'm dreaming.
25:43I'm dreaming.
25:46I'm dreaming.
25:47All right.
25:49Can you get the message?
25:51You're not welcome here.
25:54Can't pay me off, Ian.
25:56Stay.
25:58I'm wrong.
25:59Do you think you need to go?
26:00Nah, I don't think so.
26:07You can't be ruining it for everyone, do you?
26:09Yeah, tell them, Jack.
26:10Listen, I know. I know you both hate me, all right?
26:13And for good reason, yeah?
26:16I've done bad things.
26:18Those things have cost me a marriage,
26:20two kids, a family, all right?
26:22So I need to change.
26:24I can change, I know.
26:25I know you don't believe that, all right?
26:27But I'm gonna prove to you.
26:292026 is a year I'm gonna become a proper dad, yeah?
26:41Oscar, please.
26:43Laurie.
26:45Wait, just let them go.
26:46They're better off without you.
26:47You know that, don't you?
26:57Laurie.
26:58I swear, I swear on my life I can change.
27:16I know I can.
27:19This time they see you're gonna be proud of me.
