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

25:00Hey, straight back here, and your first ass of bubbly's on the house!
25:26Didn't you get the message? You're not welcome here.
25:30You can't pay me off, Ian. I'm staying.
25:35I think you need to go. No, I don't think so.
25:40You don't ruin it for everyone, do you? Yeah, tell them, Jack.
25:47Listen, I know. I know you both hate me, all right? And for good reason, yeah? I've done bad things. Those things are costing me a marriage, two kids, a family, all right? So I need to change. I can change, I know. I know you don't believe that, all right? But I'm gonna prove to you.
