00:00Oh, and you've got the sarnies I made you, yeah?
00:22Oh, yeah.
00:23Oh, they were great last week.
00:24Yeah, no worries.
00:24I look forward to them.
00:26Anyway, mate, have a great day.
00:27Yeah, yeah, cheers.
00:30You all right?
00:37Yeah, didn't really sleep.
00:40Full English on the table, mate.
00:42Look at you.
00:45Perfect boyfriend, aneurys.
00:50Some truce.
00:52Just ignore him.
00:54Breakfast sounds great.
00:55Good.
00:56Honey.
01:03Honey.
01:04Honey.
01:05Sweetheart, that's the jam.
01:06Just one second.
01:07This is the honey.
01:08There you go.
01:09Honey on toast.
01:10Yeah, that's right.
01:11And knock yourself out, no edge.
01:13Have both.
01:14I want to go home.
01:18Enjoy yourself.
01:19Yeah.
01:19All the day.
01:20What do you think?
01:22It's my first day, so I want to make the right impression.
01:25See, it matches.
01:26Well, yeah.
01:27You look lovely.
01:29You've gone to all that trouble for Vinnie Panisar.
01:32Don't think I would have bothered, darling.
01:33Vinnie?
01:34Now, you must be joking.
01:36Oh, I know his type.
01:39Clipboard cliche.
01:40No, this is for honey.
01:42I don't want to let her down.
01:45Wish me luck.
01:46Don't know who needs it most.
01:48Do you know, actually, I don't need luck.
01:51I kind of really feel that I'm, you know, on a winning streak at the moment.
01:57Oh, I'm going to need to go for a run or something after that.
02:02Well, that is a proper way to start the day.
02:05Now, look.
02:06I know we can't fix things with a breakfast.
02:08Well, listen, don't.
02:10Just ignore Mark.
02:12He's overprotective.
02:14Really?
02:14I had no idea.
02:16Look, you've just been through so much.
02:20I want a fresh start for us.
02:23Me too.
02:24I want to pay Sharon back the money.
02:26Now, I know that she wrote off the debt.
02:27Because of everything that you went through.
02:29And that was amazing.
02:31But I just feel it's the right thing to do.
02:34And then, when we're back on our feet, let's get our own place.
02:38I mean, who knows?
02:39It's ambitious.
02:41Which bank are you going to rob?
02:42Well, actually, I've been thinking about doing a smash and grab on the jewelers on Jewel Street.
02:47And then once I've robbed the place, I'm going to give them a flyer for Ross of All Trades.
02:51And then come back and fix their windows.
02:53Ross of All Trades?
02:54That would be...
02:55My actual plan.
02:57Yeah, a handyman business.
02:59Build up a reputation.
03:01Get some regular clients.
03:03Start bringing back some proper money.
03:05I like it.
03:07Yeah, I'll do the washing up.
03:08You get good, too.
03:09All right.
03:10Love you.
03:10Hey.
03:11Love you.
03:12This time next year...
03:14Oh, millionaire!
03:15You're right.
03:17Hello, mate.
03:17Hello, mate.
03:18Sharon just wants me to look after the gym today, but I'll give them to you.
03:20That's right.
03:21The big is in the kitchen.
03:22She'll sort you out.
03:23I'll give you.
03:24Cheers.
03:27You're going to sort me out, apparently.
03:29Yeah, she was the same at school.
03:34Yeah, she'd latch on to someone.
03:36Make them a best friend.
03:38And she did teachers as well.
03:39Wow.
03:40A lot of red flags.
03:42I'm surprised you let me take her out.
03:43Uh, that's not my fault you offered.
03:45I would never set you up with her.
03:48Why is that?
03:51Take that look off your face.
03:52Linda!
03:54Is she still at yours?
03:56Uh, Julie, yeah.
03:58I'll do a favour and give that to her, will you?
03:59She needs to update her delivery address.
04:02I would tell her the chickens run out of food and all.
04:04Uh, Phil, wait.
04:05Look, all right, look.
04:05I have not stuck my nose in.
04:07Julie's got a lot on her to date.
04:08But I am worried about you.
04:10What's happened?
04:11It is what it is.
04:11No, it must be breaking your heart to be away from Nigel.
04:16I don't want to talk about it, all right?
04:19Worries me when he gets like this.
04:21I've seen where it can end up.
04:23Look, I know you care, but trust me.
04:26That is one situation you don't want to get in the middle of.
04:30See you later.
04:31Yeah, bye.
04:33Oh, help yourself.
04:35All right.
04:35What's up, Phil?
04:37Cheers.
04:37Um, I don't know.
04:39Nigel, maybe.
04:40I ain't picking his phone up.
04:41A lot of people waiting outside of the gym complaining.
04:44Well, you'd better get down there, then.
04:45No, well, the thing is start of the month, innit?
04:48And a load of membership and all.
04:51So bad at paperwork, Vic.
04:53You want me, on my day off, after the week I've had,
04:58to come and sit in a basement and help you run a sweaty gym?
05:01Well, help Sharon.
05:01Am I going to get a free PT session out of this or what?
05:07I'll give you anything you want.
05:10Wow.
05:11Listen, listen.
05:12I'd really appreciate your role.
05:15Please.
05:15We are not just here to sell chocolate and dishcloths.
05:22We are here to make the whole shopping experience
05:25a pleasurable and holistic journey.
05:28Yeah.
05:29No, I like it.
05:29I really like it.
05:31Yeah, yeah, so do I.
05:32But what I really want to do is pay for this milk.
05:34Oh, yeah.
05:35Sorry.
05:37All right.
05:38Hey.
05:38What sort of business are you running here?
05:39Would have been easier for me to buy the cow and milk it myself.
05:43What's the deal?
05:44I was just showing Bea the ropes.
05:47Yeah.
05:47Uh, thanks for that,
05:48but I'll do the onboarding for new employees.
05:51Onboarding?
05:52For a corner shop.
05:53Well, it's quite a complicated process, actually.
05:56And I've brought a young nugget to show him how it's done.
05:59Was that a punishment?
06:01Feels like it.
06:02Work experience.
06:03Andy's had a really, really tough time recently.
06:06This gets him out the house.
06:07Can you not?
06:08I don't even know why I'm explaining myself.
06:11Sorry, why are you laughing?
06:14Uh, I'm just here to buy milk.
06:16It's on the house.
06:18I will see you later.
06:23Right.
06:24Have you given her the health and safety form to complete?
06:27I was going to do that in a minute.
06:29Oh, no, that's why I do the onboarding.
06:31Not you.
06:32The person who left the till unattended while the place got robbed.
06:35Why are you having a go at her?
06:37Because there is a delivery in the middle of the aisle
06:39and a ton of work to do.
06:41Get it sorted.
06:43Nugget, this way.
06:44I've just, uh, I've just seen Phil on the square.
06:57This, this came for you.
07:01Oh.
07:02You okay?
07:08You okay?
07:14Me and Nigel were going to renew our wedding vows.
07:18Oh, that's lovely.
07:18I've cancelled it.
07:19Well, you know, everything that's going on here, moving in here,
07:23and things that are going on with Phil,
07:25they're just about too much, really.
07:28So you and Phil, you, that's a burnt bridge, is it?
07:33What's he said?
07:35Not a lot.
07:36I mean, it's Phil, isn't it?
07:37He's just sort of grunted.
07:38Yeah.
07:41But, um, I do know that he's hurting.
07:44Mm-hmm.
07:45And I, I know that it's, you know, a lot,
07:49dealing with Nigel on your own.
07:52Well, was there a bit of a commotion last night?
07:56Someone said they heard some raised voices and...
07:58They're out disturbing your other guests, are we?
08:01No, I don't, it's not what I meant.
08:02Because Nigel will be in a care room before you know it,
08:04and then we'll be out of your hair soon.
08:06Look, Julie, please, I'm just, I'm just trying to help.
08:15I'm sick.
08:15How long you go take them to make a bacon sandwich?
08:18The girls are the best up there.
08:20Yeah, but I heard four cafes off injured, is it?
08:22Yeah, but I can't be here all day.
08:23Stop.
08:27Oi, Murphy, Jasmine.
08:29Why would I?
08:30I don't know, a bit of space, a bit of time.
08:32Thought she might have called you.
08:33You were close.
08:34Yeah, it was the right word until you lot drove her off.
08:38I'm not going to hear from her.
08:39All right, I know that for sure.
08:40And you ain't never going to find her.
08:42Ugh, absurd.
08:44Hey, hey, what about Zoe?
08:47Of course she's not going to cut her mother out of her life.
08:49Well, not forever.
08:50And that way we could find her, huh?
08:52Well, Pops has got a point.
08:54No.
08:55No, if Zoe finds out that Jasmine's done a run,
08:57she'll be devastated.
08:58I can't do that to her.
08:59Listen up, man, you have every right to worry about her.
09:02About what she's done to my son.
09:04Your son was a monster.
09:05Ah, easy.
09:06Sorry.
09:07I'm sorry, all right?
09:09I just don't want Zoe finding out.
09:11I don't understand why this has taken so long.
09:19I know.
09:19But it's like one of those wooden dolls.
09:21You open one up and inside, another wooden doll.
09:24Inside, another wooden doll.
09:25Inside, another wooden doll.
09:26Stop saying wooden doll.
09:28Can she say matryoshka?
09:31It's Russian.
09:32For wooden doll.
09:33She can say anything she likes,
09:34as long as her 20-minute job takes 20 minutes, not an hour.
09:37First lesson of business.
09:39Time is money.
09:41It just feels like you're having a go at her.
09:42This kid learns fast.
09:44Well, this is management.
09:46This is harassment.
09:48Yeah.
09:49I'm done with this.
09:51I'm going home.
09:51Devinder, Devinder!
09:54Get this cleared.
09:57Word.
09:57You need to remember, this is a trial period.
10:05And comments like that won't do you any favors.
10:10Oh!
10:12Oh, honey!
10:13Oh, dear.
10:14Oh, this is all your fault.
10:16Oh, thank you.
10:17Oh, you're...
10:18Look, I'm not blaming you, all right?
10:22I'm blaming Elaine.
10:24Why are you slapping my head off?
10:25Of course, if you hadn't started this stupid feud,
10:27I wouldn't be in this mess.
10:28Yeah, but it wasn't me.
10:29It was Elaine, wasn't it?
10:30Oh, just go away, Ian.
10:32I don't need your help.
10:33Mum, you can hardly move.
10:35Ian, it's all right.
10:36I'll let you.
10:37Take a day off work,
10:38and this is all the thanks you get.
10:41You all right?
10:43I thought I might be having to help Pamela,
10:44but no chance.
10:47Well, you have a rest there.
10:48I'll get you a cuppa,
10:49and then maybe you could give me some tips on my new business.
10:53Try to build myself back up.
10:55Yeah, I've been right by Vicky.
10:56You know, I hate my doubts about you,
10:59but you're a good man.
11:02Thanks.
11:04I just want to make her happy.
11:06That's good,
11:06because after everything that has happened,
11:10she needs to know that you are always going to be by her side.
11:14Yeah.
11:18Yeah, you're right.
11:21There's membership requests dating about months here.
11:24It's cancellations, not being processed.
11:26It is like Phil has literally shoved every single bit of paperwork in this file
11:29since Sharon went away.
11:31I should never have dragged you down.
11:32You just forget you ever saw it, yeah?
11:34No, that's like asking me to leave a sink full of washing up.
11:36What, are you...
11:38Are you a clean freak?
11:40Oh, I'm filthy, you know that.
11:47No, what I'm saying is, you know,
11:48if I see a problem, I want to fix it.
11:51Yeah.
11:51Listen, this job's just so much bigger than I thought it was.
11:55Seriously, I'm going to stick that back in the bottom drawer
11:57and just forget we're going to...
11:58Oh, sir, I've just...
12:00All right.
12:01So, get down with her.
12:09This is such a mess.
12:11Don't worry, I'll sort it.
12:13You know that's not what I meant.
12:15I'm going to go.
12:18No, you don't have to go, yeah?
12:21What do you think is this?
12:27What do you want?
12:28A relationship?
12:30An affair?
12:31You want a sweaty bunk up in the changing rooms?
12:33What?
12:33No, I'm with Ross.
12:35And I don't like lying to him.
12:47I'm sorry.
12:48I can't.
12:49Oh.
12:52What was that?
12:53Work night out?
12:54Do you always have to put your nose in?
12:59Sorry.
13:00It's fine.
13:01It's fine.
13:02I am a terrible gossip and I love a scandal.
13:04Oh, well, you'd have a field day with me, then.
13:06Listen.
13:08I'm not just the woman who owns the B&B, all right?
13:11Phil
13:11is a really good friend.
13:14And we've helped each other through some of our darkest times.
13:21I owe him a lot.
13:23So you and Nigel, you know, you're part of that.
13:28I'd like to try it and help make this easier for you.
13:31An extra rusher in the mornings, wouldn't I miss?
13:35Done.
13:37Although you'd better hide it from mum, because she will charge you extra.
13:39Mm-hmm.
13:41And if you've got the chance to go out tonight and switch off for a couple of hours, then you should.
13:46We're here.
13:50And we'd love to help, really.
13:53We can have dinner with Nigel, sit and watch one of his favourite films.
13:58You deserve a break.
14:05Ah, right.
14:06We are looking after Nigel tonight.
14:08Oh.
14:09Lovely.
14:11I'm not stalling, OK?
14:13I just need more time to find the grass.
14:17You don't need to threaten me, because I'm not playing games.
14:20No, no, no.
14:21Trust me.
14:22I will clear my name.
14:31Your son's in prison for battering Vicky, and you're trying to buy her off with some jewellery.
14:35So what I do, I've done your business.
14:38Have you got a ring in there?
14:41So, Mark, do one, mate.
14:43I don't believe this.
14:44You stood back and done nothing while Joel put her through hell, and now you expect her to marry her.
14:50You're really starting to wind me up now.
14:52Oh, you want to try it?
14:54Actually, maybe I do, yeah.
14:57Come on in, old man.
14:58Hey, man.
14:58Come on.
14:58Nats.
14:59What's the matter with you?
15:00Get something.
15:01Come on.
15:03Do you know what?
15:03Well, I am going to ask Rikki to marry me, and there is nothing you can do about it.
15:09I am going to ask Rikki to marry me.
15:39Oh, I sacked off.
15:42Right.
15:43Oh, okay.
15:45Look, I know you're finding things a bit hard at the moment.
15:48What are you getting at me for?
15:49No, no, no.
15:50I'm not getting at you.
15:51It's just, you know, me and your mum thought this would be good for you, just to get out of
15:55her hands for a bit, that's all.
15:56But Avani, she gets to sit on the sofa all day because she's the golden child.
16:00Yeah.
16:02I'm sick of everyone, man.
16:11But you know, on the plus side, you know, you could go to the doctor with this, and they're
16:16bound to give you some painkillers.
16:18That won't blow your mind.
16:20So, every cloud?
16:21No, it's fine.
16:22I'll be fine.
16:23It's just probably a muscle strain.
16:26That's always my fault anyway.
16:27I left the mess and slipped over.
16:29Now, but you have that little weasel in your ear.
16:31Vidi's all right, really.
16:33To be honest with you, Bea, my nerves are all over the shop at the moment.
16:37My brain's a bit of a scatter.
16:39I think it's my hormones, so...
16:40It must even work.
16:41He's bullying a perimenopausal woman.
16:43That's ageist and sexist.
16:47Um, are you all right?
16:50No bones broken.
16:51I'm sorry I lost it.
16:53I was trying to teach Nugget about management.
16:55We've all just been worried about him, and I guess I was stressed, and I took it out on
16:59you, so I'm sorry.
17:01I'm glad you're okay.
17:02Thank you, Vidi.
17:03What's the damage?
17:04Oh, just a strain, I think.
17:06Right.
17:07And I'd say you're well enough to get back to work.
17:09What?
17:10No, actually, she has to rest.
17:12No, it's okay.
17:12It's okay.
17:12It's all good.
17:14And make sure you don't leave the till unattended again.
17:19Black coffee, please.
17:22Hi, Sharon.
17:24Um, sorry.
17:24You're probably outselling yourself, aren't you?
17:27Um, just to let you know, everything's fine with the gym, or...
17:30It will be once we've got all the paperwork sorted, and...
17:33He said my love to Mum.
17:36Miss ya.
17:41Come for eating.
17:42That's how you cope with Ross, is it?
17:44Will you lay off him?
17:45You're supposed to be a ball-breaker, Vic.
17:47Like Mum.
17:48Tough as anything.
17:50What are you doing with a loser who let his son beat you up?
17:52Sorry.
17:53I don't want some meathead who thinks with their fists.
17:56I need someone who understands me, helps me control my temper, builds me up, makes me feel good about myself.
18:04When everything is so bleak, I want someone who can make me laugh.
18:09And that's him, is it?
18:12I love him.
18:15Enough to marry him.
18:16Because I just see him buying a ring.
18:31I've had to come in, Dee.
18:33Your landing's at choir practice.
18:35Listen, ever since we got back from the CAV, I can't get through to him.
18:38You know.
18:38You OK?
18:43My son was a monster.
18:46You heard that?
18:48Huh?
18:48Cat was just sticking up for a run.
18:53What's the point of arranging a funeral?
18:56His own daughter won't even show up.
18:59Well, we'll keep looking for her.
19:01And we can reach out to Sophie.
19:03He has got two other kids in her.
19:04I don't know.
19:05I don't know.
19:06It's better if we don't make a fuss.
19:07I just let me call the whole thing off.
19:11Nobody gives a damn about me son.
19:15Hey, people give a damn about you.
19:21But I just can't do this on my own, you know.
19:24Well, you're not on your own, are you?
19:26I mean, we're here.
19:28And we can plan the funeral, can't we?
19:30Yeah, yeah, of course.
19:33Of course.
19:37Cheers.
19:40Of course I want to help with Nigel.
19:43But between management and guests, we need to maintain some sort of distance.
19:47They are more than guests, and you know it.
19:50Yes, I do.
19:51But this is a boutique hotel at the bougie end of the market.
19:55Oh, and that's why you let Councillor Barker use it as a knocking shop, is it?
19:57Excuse me.
19:58I didn't have any choice in that, did I?
19:59But the point I'm trying to make about Nigel is he needs specialist care.
20:04He needs someone with a bit of kindness in their heart.
20:07Does that rule you out?
20:08I have kindness in my heart, thank you very much.
20:10And there's no need to be like that.
20:13Hmm.
20:17How was your first day?
20:18What do you know about Sookie Panessa?
20:20I suppose I'd class Sookie as a friend, but I wouldn't want to work for her.
20:26She's one tough lady.
20:31Well, she's not the only one.
20:35And he goes, I'm going to ask Vicky to marry me, and there ain't nothing you can do about it.
20:40I cannot believe he said those actual words.
20:43This is what you wanted, though, isn't it?
20:45The perfect man, happily ever after.
20:48Yeah, it is.
20:50Thank you for ruining the surprise.
20:52Yeah, okay, I'm sorry.
20:53I'm delighted for you.
20:56But this does mean you're going to have to stop having sex with Zach.
21:03There is nothing happening with me and Zach.
21:06Tell me it ain't my business, Vic, but don't lie to me.
21:09I saw you at the gym.
21:10Oh, just stop, all right?
21:12I'm not going there.
21:12I ain't judging, okay?
21:15If Bob the Builder don't set your heart on fire,
21:17go get the goods from Pretty Boy.
21:18That is not what I am doing.
21:23I will say it again.
21:24I love Ross.
21:26Okay.
21:27Then you need to deal with it.
21:30Because secrets like this, they...
21:31they don't stay secret for very long, all right?
21:34Life that bad, is it?
21:48You know, just try to get through the day.
21:49Doesn't sound like a lot of fun.
21:52No, it ain't.
21:53So, come and sit with us?
21:58Listen, I'm sorry if I think I'd just kill the mood.
22:01Oh, no, we're out for a good time and no one's going to stop that.
22:07Well, you know where we are.
22:09If you change your mind.
22:10Did you just turn her down?
22:23I just don't need the hassle, mate.
22:28Is that, mate?
22:29I know we ain't caught up in the water, so...
22:31maybe I'm out of the loop.
22:33It's a hassle to you, is it?
22:36Mate, spend the day in my shoes.
22:38Well, you don't know left from right, up from down.
22:39No, no, no, look, I'm...
22:42I'm not looking for sympathy, yeah.
22:45I've made some bad decisions,
22:46and I'm going to have to live with that.
22:49Mate, I don't...
22:50I don't know what's going on.
22:53What you're feeding, but just, no,
22:55it's a moment in time, yeah?
22:58Yeah.
22:59Yeah, maybe.
23:02No, it's not just that, it's just that...
23:03I can't even speak to my kids right now without you kicking off.
23:07Listen, if it's an easier life out there, I'd take it.
23:13All day long.
23:15Yeah.
23:16Just, mate, it's just complicated.
23:19I've sort of got this thing going on with someone.
23:23I don't know if it's going anywhere.
23:26Even if I want it to, do I just...
23:28Zach, mate, that sounds like a lot of stress for something that ain't life and death.
23:37See what I mean?
23:46Excuse me.
23:47Probably I've got this, yeah?
23:53Hey.
23:55Is this where the party's at?
23:56It is now.
23:58Yeah, yeah.
23:58What are you doing?
24:13Writing a room.
24:16Oh, see, they shouldn't be making you work.
24:19So, I think they owe you this at the very least.
24:26No, no, be, be, be, be.
24:28Sookie will be up to see you.
24:31Oh, hi, Sookie.
24:33He's just in.
24:34You're a stuck-up old cow and you're so gonna get what's coming to you.
24:41Go on, have some.
24:42It's the good stuff.
24:44No, no, I shouldn't.
24:44Go on.
24:46You know what?
24:48Right.
24:49So you got injured at work.
24:51So we are gonna sue the hell out of them.
25:00I've told you, Mark, I don't want to talk about it.
25:02I'm saying it like it is.
25:04You know what I'm saying, don't I?
25:05Why else would you mess around with someone like that?
25:08For your information, Zach has been my biggest support for all of this.
25:11Vicky, please tell me you're not catching feelings for him.
25:13Do you want me to flatten it?
25:23No, leave it.
25:25I'll just get a drink somewhere else.
25:29It's nice.
25:32Well, isn't this wonderful?
25:35Don't mind this.
25:36I did.
25:38It's shepherd's pie.
25:39Julie said you like it.
25:42Your wife, darling.
25:46I'm getting married.
25:48Yeah.
25:50Yes, she is.
25:52Oh, that's right.
25:54Julie's off out with some work friends and we're gonna watch a film.
25:59Where am I?
26:00You're at one of the most exclusive boutique hotels in London.
26:05Where am I?
26:05You're at the Peacock Palace, darling.
26:07Where am I?

26:16It's all right.
26:17It's all right.

26:19No, honestly.

26:55And I want to build a life for you that...
26:59That lasts forever.
27:01So...
27:03Vicky Fowler.
27:10Are you marrying me?
27:12I love you.
27:14I can't lie to you anymore.
27:32I slept with someone else.
27:33I slept with...
27:36I slept with someone else...
