00:15Mwah!
00:16I'll tell you what, babe, I ain't slipped my life in ages.
00:19What kind of bread?
00:21Er, do you fancy poached eggs or scrambled?
00:26Oh, you know what, I can't get over this feeling.
00:29You know, Mark, he ain't, well, he ain't gonna come for us now, is he?
00:32Well, he had his chance and he blew it.
00:34You know, because I protected us all.
00:38You know, like a man should.
00:41Ravi, do you remember me taking your top off last night?
00:46What have you done?
00:49Trust me, that tracking app is on point.
00:52Let's see.
00:54Oh, my gosh. What happened?
00:56Couple of blokes jumped him. They thought he was someone else.
00:59Well, and you reported to the fence and...
01:01Er, yeah. Well, no.
01:03They had their faces covered, didn't they?
01:05What, and you expect us to believe that?
01:07Yeah, cos it's the truth. All right, now, get ready to go to school.
01:11You okay, Dad?
01:13Yeah, of course I am.
01:15I said school. Now.
01:21All right, babe. I will catch you later.
01:25Ravi, you won't go into the gym.
01:28It's leg day.
01:31See you later.
01:39See you later.
01:40Ooh!
01:41Loving the new get-up.
01:43Yeah, well, I've got to look the part now that I'm running the show.
01:46Has your Dad's money come through yet?
01:47Er, any time now.
01:48All right.
01:48Listen.
01:49You really deserve this.
01:51Especially after the year you've had.
01:53Which is why...
01:56Oh, Peter, I love it. Thank you.
01:59Pleasure.
01:59Oi, look. Look what Peter got me.
02:01Yeah, great. I need to borrow your kids today.
02:04What, borrow our kids?
02:05What for, you weirdo?
02:06My new job, Bobs. Er, lunchtime.
02:08Make sure they're, you know, presentable.
02:11Present?
02:11What's he trying to say?
02:13Er...
02:13What's this, then? Is this unpaid bills?
02:15Er, no. It's my new business ideas, and I'm gonna get straight on them.
02:19You know, you've got all of us backing you, and now your Dad, too.
02:22You're gonna absolutely smash it.
02:25Go for it.
02:27Enjoy it.
02:28All right, I've got one my wife, you hottie!
02:32And then, after Spanish, I've got geography and drama.
02:36So you're feeling more up to it today, then?
02:38It helps those are all my favourite lessons.
02:41Listen, should we make those cupcakes tonight?
02:44We didn't get to do it last week, didn't we?
02:46Cos of Nigel and all that.
02:48Yeah?
02:50I'll pick up the ingredients on the way home.
02:53Have a good day, all right?
03:03All right!
03:04Yes, yes, yes!
03:06I need a word.
03:07Oh, come in, why don't you?
03:09We'll have to wait. I'm on my wait for the station.
03:10You have to pull Ravi out. Now.
03:12What? What are you talking about?
03:14I know everything.
03:15Sorry, I don't think I'm lost.
03:16Don't treat me like I'm stupid!
03:18He's been working for you, informing.
03:20Has been for months.
03:22Listen, whatever you think you've heard...
03:24Are you even listening?
03:26The secret is out.
03:28And I ain't the only one who knows.
03:30So unless you want your whole operation to go south,
03:33I suggest you start listening to what I've got to say.
03:37What's up?
03:43You okay?
03:44Yeah, it's just every time that door goes.
03:47Look, I told you, you should have stayed at home.
03:48I can't just hide myself away, can I?
03:51Aren't you guys going to wonder why I'm not at work?
03:53My little brother!
03:55Voss!
03:59Look, you crack on.
04:00You can't just stand around here all day.
04:02I ain't going nowhere until I know that you're safe.
04:04Kevin Costner eat your heart out, eh?
04:06Tell you what.
04:07You bring the silk scarf,
04:09and I'll bring the samurai silk.
04:15I'll have a full English on the house.
04:18What?
04:19It's the least you can do after last night, isn't it?
04:21Thank you for my law.
04:22You need to burden someone.
04:25You've put Target on my back and all!
04:26You did that when you stopped me doing my job.
04:29Do you have any idea how that made me look?
04:30You want to give your head a wobble?
04:32Because she has saved you from prison.
04:34Or something worse.
04:35Ain't you want toilets going on block or something?
04:36Why, you don't speak to him like that!
04:38She was up half the night terrified that someone's coming for her.
04:45Well, like I said, if you didn't show up,
04:48Ravi would have been dealt with,
04:49and all of this would have gone away, wouldn't it?
04:51Yeah.
04:51Are you really that stupid?
04:54Killing the geyser?
04:56That'll be the start of your problems.
04:58So you need to find another way out of this.
05:01Fast.
05:02Fine.
05:03I will.
05:03Because I swear to God,
05:06if anything happens to her,
05:09I'll come for you.
05:16What part of undercover don't he understand?
05:19I might as well have taken a four-page ad out in the Gazette.
05:22Yeah, and that's why you need to pull him out now.
05:23So there's no rat for Mark to find.
05:26Did he tell you what the deal was?
05:28It was either this or he's inside.
05:30Yeah?
05:30Only reason he's out is he's getting us intel on his associates.
05:33But he has done.
05:34You picked up half their crew, didn't you?
05:36I mean, you wouldn't have got that
05:37unless Ravi risked his life getting you what you wanted.
05:40I mean, surely that is enough to let him go.
05:45All right, fine.
05:47But I offered him an out last week.
05:50What?
05:50Yeah, when he lost it in the pharmacy,
05:51I knew he weren't right.
05:53But he was having none of it.
05:54Look, it's just because he's not thinking straight, okay?
05:57All this stuff, it's messed with his head.
05:59He's not well.
06:04Where's Yvonne and Nugget?
06:06School. Why?
06:07Well, we're going to have to get you all into witness protection, aren't we?
06:09What? No.
06:11Look, if the firm finds out, I can't guarantee your safety.
06:14It won't.
06:16Okay, I'll make sure Mark keeps his mouth shut.
06:18Just, just, please.
06:20Please let Ravi go.
06:22I've got to speak to my governor.
06:26But you better pray Mark hasn't said anything.
06:29Because if he has, I won't be out to protect you.
06:42What's all this?
06:43Dunno.
06:44What's it look like?
06:46Er, a middle-aged man's perfect Christmas.
06:50Just a bit of fun, Lauren, that's all.
06:52Customers gonna love it, ain't they?
06:53When they walk through that door, third time Nugget, here we go.
06:56It's meant to be a door to the office, not a portal to the 1980s.
06:59Right, chuck me that Bonsai, Lauren.
07:03Bonsai. Bonsai tree. Bonsai.
07:10What are you doing here?
07:13It's my HQ, innit?
07:16For what?
07:17You haven't got a job?
07:18What's got a job? What are you talking about?
07:20I work here now, don't I?
07:21Since when?
07:23You had a bang on the head or something?
07:25I bought the business, Lauren.
07:27I'm the boss now.
07:28The boss man.
07:30The big boss.
07:32What's going on here, Lauren?
07:35What's...
07:35Lauren?
07:41You spoken to Mark today?
07:43Don't sneak up on me like that.
07:45My nerves are shot as it is.
07:46Or have you?
07:49He ain't gonna touch Ravi.
07:51You sure about that?
07:52I mean, I know what he said yesterday, but at the end of the day,
07:55blood's thicker than water.
07:56He's gonna protect you at any cost.
07:57Well, not if it means your fella's death on my conscience.
07:59I would never forgive him.
08:03Look, Mark's got another plan up his sleeve.
08:04The less you and me know, the better.
08:07I promise you.
08:08Ravi is safe.
08:11Jack knows.
08:14Please tell me you are joking.
08:18So now he's after Mark?
08:20Listen, he ain't gonna do anything
08:21as long as your brother keeps Ravi out of it.
08:34I know.
08:49Fancy making me a cuppa washer there?
08:52Thought you were at the hospital.
08:54Phil took me to the early bird session.
08:56How you feeling?
08:58Well, you could knock me down with a feather.
09:00Mum was the same.
09:02I used to make her beans on toast
09:03to help get her strength back.
09:05Do you want some?
09:06No, never mind me. What are you doing here?
09:09Yeah, that's what I wanna know.
09:11You know, I thought I told you it was
09:12back to school today, eh?
09:15Bit of a tummy ache.
09:16Nothing serious.
09:19What are you doing?
09:19Well, Callan's got a letter to teach you now, hasn't he?
09:24Listen, I've got a really good idea.
09:27Why don't you and me have a little girly spa day here?
09:29Yeah?
09:30Old grumpy girl so you can go and see Nigel.
09:33I'll do it some other day.
09:34I've got to take care of you two, haven't I?
09:37Come on.
09:46Why don't you lead me to it?
09:48Sure you've got better things to do than hang around a car lot?
09:50I'll be daft.
09:51My hand's on managing me.
09:53This place practically runs itself though,
09:56so you're just gonna be waiting around.
09:57You shouldn't really be doing that, at your age.
09:59It's all about my age.
10:00I'm 56, Lauren.
10:02I'm not exactly ready for the knackers yard yet.
10:08You're not regretting this, are you?
10:10No, of course not.
10:11Well, cos I thought you'd be buzzing.
10:13Jay sold to me, not to some property developer.
10:15Yeah, I am.
10:17It's great.
10:18Just thought maybe you would be supporting me with my own business,
10:21not trying to steal it from underneath me.
10:24Oh, is that what you think's going on?
10:25Yeah.
10:26That's exactly what I think you're doing, Dad.
10:27Cos you didn't mention that you were gonna be working here,
10:29let alone being the boss man, the manager.
10:31Yeah, well, I've got to work, Lauren, alright?
10:33You didn't think I was gonna put all that money in,
10:34not get some return for it.
10:36Oh, of course not.
10:37But I just thought I'd pay you back, bit by bit.
10:40Yeah, well, we didn't get a chance, didn't we?
10:41Going through all the details.
10:44You know, you asked me to help you out, Lauren.
10:46Yes, I know.
10:47And I'm very grateful.
10:48Right, so what's the problem?
10:50You've got a job and you've got a chance to learn from me,
10:52so it's win-win.
10:58Lauren, come on, please, alright?
11:00It's...
11:01You and me, it's the dream team.
11:04Alright, yeah.
11:06Yeah, well, you know what?
11:08While you're here, I've got some really great ideas
11:10and I want to run them past you.
11:12Er, no, no, no.
11:12Can we do it later?
11:13Yeah, I've got some phone calls to make.
11:15I want to reintroduce myself to the suppliers.
11:20Yeah, of course, I need to, er...
11:23I need to prep the motors anyway.
11:27Lauren.
11:32Give me a vanilla latte.
11:39More messy, more like we're at home.
11:41Yeah?
11:41Er, yeah, yeah.
11:43Okay, that's the vision.
11:44Now, Brian, I want you to crouch down with the kids
11:46and, er, look like you're having fun,
11:48but not too much fun.
11:49Er, did Peter and Lauren know that you're using the kids as props?
11:51Over the moon.
11:52They're probably off playing hide the sausage.
11:54You might.
11:55Alright, here we go now, Brian.
11:56Come on.
11:56Give me something.
11:57Give me something to work with.
11:58Yeah, that's it.
12:00Smile, Brian.
12:00Give me a smile.
12:01I am smiling.
12:02Turn like you're a family man.
12:04I am a family man.
12:05Yeah, okay.
12:05More smile.
12:06Give it to me, baby.
12:07Go on, more smile.
12:07Okay, no, no, no, no.
12:08My bad.
12:09Less smile.
12:09Too much.
12:10Okay, yeah.
12:10Now, give me something urban.
12:11Give me something street.
12:12I want something grungy.
12:14Yeah, that's it, Louie.
12:14Yes.
12:15Do that.
12:16Do what Louie's doing.
12:17Now, Louie, poster.
12:18Give me the poster.
12:18Yeah.
12:19Yeah, baby.
12:20Yes.
12:21That's it.
12:22Yeah.
12:22See?
12:23See?
12:24I told you I'd bring magic.
12:25Oh, okay.
12:26Not bad for an amateur.
12:29Is that your campaign slogan?
12:31Oh, there she is herself.
12:32A child basher.
12:33Yes.
12:34Okay, that's it, guys.
12:35We've got it.
12:35Take five.
12:36That's a wrap.
12:37Over and out.
12:38Yow.
12:41Quite a PR machine, aren't you?
12:43I bet you're my client, don't appreciate these talents.
12:45Well, you fancy using your skills elsewhere?
12:47You run my campaign and all.
12:50Sabotage Ian from within.
12:51What, like a double agent?
12:53I'll make it worth your while.
12:55Oi, amateur.
12:57Double espresso for the boss.
12:58What?
13:01Double O'Brien in the health service.
13:09Do you know what?
13:10Just take my card, then.
13:11The number's on there.
13:13Just...
13:13I'm here all day as well, so...
13:15Keep in touch.
13:17Bad luck, Lauren.
13:19Can't win them all.
13:20No, actually, he's just going home, check with his wife.
13:23Oh, yeah?
13:24What, is she the boss of him, or...?
13:25No, he's just not a dinosaur like you.
13:28Some good ideas in there.
13:29We'll have a little chat about that later, yeah?
13:32What is that?
13:36You're changing the name?
13:37Yeah.
13:38It's good for business, isn't it?
13:39You know?
13:40New ownership and all that.
13:43Maximum Motors.
13:44Yeah.
13:44It's the same as the old one, just with your name in it.
13:46Your face all over it as well.
13:48Well, what ideas you got?
13:49What?
13:50I was thinking Bill and Branning.
13:51Bill and Branning?
13:52What were we?
13:52A law firm?
13:54The Bill name ain't exactly on brand, is it?
13:56Oh!
13:57Anyway, I've been thinking, Lauren, it's probably best I'll take over the operational side of things.
14:01Such as?
14:02Well, staffing, for a start.
14:03It's only me and you, and we've got Priya joining us.
14:05She's already messed us about with the induction, so that doesn't pose well, does it?
14:09And stock orders, I'm going to take care of that as well.
14:12Right, OK.
14:12Go on, then.
14:13What's wrong with this?
14:14Be serious.
14:15Who's going to buy us something like this round here?
14:17Just because you've lost your touch doesn't mean the rest of us have.
14:20Right, in which case, you won't have any problem getting rid of that, will you?
14:22No, no problem at all.
14:24What, tomorrow?
14:26Yeah.
14:26Alright.
14:28Don't know this about me, Dad, but I love a challenge.
14:31Yeah, great.
14:32Clock's ticking, Lauren.
14:34Tick tock.
14:3624 hours, Lauren.
14:42That's amazing.
14:43Yeah.
14:46Yeah, I'll tell him.
14:46I'll tell him now.
14:50What are you going to have, mate?
14:53Jack says you're out.
14:55It's over.
14:57Right?
14:58Your turn.
15:02That meant to be funny.
15:04Oh, God.
15:07No, babe, I'm serious.
15:09He said you'd help with all those arrests.
15:13Okay?
15:13Build a case against the higher-up.
15:15You've held up your half of the bargain, and now they're going to hold up theirs.
15:18And they're really letting you go, yeah?
15:21Hey, look at me.
15:23You're out.
15:25It's over.
15:28You're free.
15:32Yeah.
15:45Okay.
15:48Look, now you can just...
15:51You can focus on getting your head straight, yeah?
15:58Is that why they're letting me go?
16:08All that about helping their investigation.
16:11Oh, Ravi do this, Ravi do that.
16:13Oh, well done, Ravi.
16:14You've done this, Ravi.
16:15Well done, Ravi.
16:15And what?
16:16They're going to drop me on...
16:18What?
16:19Mental health grounds.
16:21Me?
16:23Baby, it has really messed you up.
16:24You said so yourself.
16:28Look, you're out.
16:30What does it matter?
16:31Well, it matters because you've made Jack think I'm a local nook job.
16:34That's why it matters.
16:35Look, I was just trying to help.
16:37Help!
16:38I don't need help, okay?
16:41This is my life!
16:42I'm in control of what I do!
16:44Me!
16:45You are in control of anything!
16:47You're a mess!
16:48I don't even know who you are anymore!
16:50You don't know who I am anymore!
16:51I'm an informant, babe!
16:53I'm an informant!
16:55I...
16:56am...
16:57a rat!
16:59That's the way I am now!
17:06Mom!
17:07Ain't you got nothing better to do?
17:09What?
17:09To do it after your sister?
17:11No, I'm sorry, mate!
17:14So, have you...
17:15have you come up with anything yet?
17:18Nah.
17:19Been on it all day as well.
17:21Look, I'm sure you'll...
17:23I'm sure you'll figure it out.
17:27Look.
17:29They've just been on the phone.
17:31They've given me 24 hours to find the grass and deal with them.
17:34And if you don't...
17:38Vicky.
17:43It's gonna be fine.
17:44Alright?
17:45How can you say that?
17:46Cause I'm gonna finish what I started, Ross.
17:48You can't do that, Mark!
17:50Well, what would you do?
17:54To say Vicky, what would you do, Ross?
17:59Exactly.
18:01If it's between Ravi and Vicky...
18:05he's all out of luck.
18:22Hate me as much as you want, but...
18:25I ain't gonna apologise for getting involved.
18:31Look...
18:33I know...
18:35that you're going through some stuff, but...
18:37what happened last night?
18:38That ain't normal.
18:40That ain't you!
18:41Will you just drop it, Priya?
18:43Please?
18:44Why are you shutting me out when I'm just trying to help?
18:46I told you!
18:47I look after myself.
18:49Well, clearly you don't!
18:50Do you?
18:53Look, this ain't you!
18:56This ain't the Ravi I fell in love with!
18:57What happened to the bloke who could do anything to protect his family?
19:00Where'd he go?
19:02What did you think giving yourself up was gonna do?
19:05How's that protecting us?
19:06I just...
19:08Things just got on top of me.
19:10Okay?
19:21And what about the scars?
19:25I...
19:25I didn't want to push you earlier, but...
19:28we can't just brush this under the rug.
19:33How long have you been?
19:36How long, Ravi?
19:40A few months.
19:41Why?
19:42I just don't get it!
19:45What are you doing trying to prove a point?
19:47You can't be acting like this!
19:50Ravi, you've got responsibilities!
19:53It's just, erm...
19:56Sometimes my mind, it...
19:59I can't control it and, erm...
20:07You're gonna have to learn how to.
20:10Okay? We need you.
20:14But you've gotta want this for yourself.
20:18I can't do this on my own.
20:20Yeah, I'm out of my depth.
20:24That's why...
20:26That's why I think that you need proper help.
20:31No.
20:33No.
20:34No, no, no, no, no.
20:35I ain't seen the shrink.
20:35There's nothing to be ashamed about, okay?
20:38No.
20:38You're in the minority if you haven't had therapy these days.
20:39No, no, forget it.
20:40I don't need it.
20:41I don't want it, okay?
20:42Alright, Priya?
20:43I don't... I'm not seeing the shrink.
20:44I'm not seeing the shrink.
20:45Oh, you think this is what I want?
20:46Do you?
20:48Really? Look at ya!
20:49You're the father of my kids!
20:51You're supposed to be strong!
20:53Be a man!
20:55Not hurting yourself and it all gets a bit much!
20:57You're the son of a bitch!
21:28How long have I been out?
21:30Oh, a couple of hours.
21:32A couple of hours?
21:34Phil!
21:35Look at my feet.
21:37Like bleeding prunes.
21:39That's put me off me dinner.
21:42Well, thank you.
21:44You two.
21:45I'm gonna go up.
21:51Bex?
21:53Well, I'm feeling well.
21:56I don't think I'm going tomorrow either.
21:59All right.
21:59Well, we have to go to the doctors tomorrow then.
22:00Why?
22:01So they can write a letter saying that you're sick.
22:05Look.
22:07Listen.
22:09I know that you're struggling at the moment.
22:11I do.
22:13But these are important years.
22:15You can't just skip school whenever you want.
22:22I'll, er...
22:23I'll tell you to the doctors.
22:24Tomorrow morning.
22:33What?
22:38Sookie says you can say it hurts again tonight.
22:41No, Mum.
22:42What's going on with Dad?
22:44I told you we just wouldn't look quite like him with the film.
22:47Stop lying, Mum.
22:48Look, he's held up the pharmacy.
22:49We had to be tracking down last night and now what?
22:51Today he's all messed up.
22:54What does Dad behave like that?
22:56No, Mum, if you won't tell us then we'll just go ask him ourselves.
23:00Mum.
23:00What do you mean?
23:03Look, er...
23:03He's, er...
23:04He had some beef with the people he used to work for.
23:07Beef?
23:08They literally beat him to a pulp?
23:10Yeah, and he's paid his dues.
23:11What does that mean?
23:12That means that he's out of all that stuff now.
23:15That's a good thing, right?
23:17Look, he's not himself right now, okay?
23:19He's struggling.
23:20Struggling how?
23:22Like...
23:23And mental health.
23:24Right, then we should go see him then, yeah?
23:25No, no, no.
23:26Look, it sounds worse than it is, okay?
23:28Okay, he don't want you to know.
23:30He's still got his pride.
23:32So what, will we just pretend like everything's fine?
23:34When it clearly ain't?
23:35Mum, he needs help.
23:36Like, proper help.
23:38Otherwise this will just keep getting worse.
23:39Yeah, yeah, I know.
23:40Okay?
23:41That's why I've sorted it already.
23:43Please don't worry.
23:45Yeah?
23:45He'll be back to his old self in no time.
23:50Okay.
23:52Okay.
23:54Now where she is, look.
23:55One minute a hour.
23:56That's all right.
23:57Leave me to lock up.
23:58Or you just take the weight off.
24:00It's all right.
24:01You know what you're doing.
24:02I should hope so.
24:03Since I'm the one that's kept it going for months, single-handedly.
24:06Yeah, I know.
24:07I've just been singing your praises.
24:10He has, as a matter of fact.
24:13Um...
24:13Do you want another one?
24:14Uh, yeah, go on.
24:15Do you want another one, Jo?
24:15No, I'll get back for the kids.
24:17Right.
24:21It's not annoying you, is it?
24:22Though I'm not over there.
24:24I was at first.
24:25Then I realised it won't be long till you get bored.
24:28Then you just breeze out of Walford again.
24:30Nah.
24:31Well, not anymore.
24:33I'm in the state, innit?
24:34Yeah.
24:36So much for me proving myself, then.
24:38Why is that such a big deal, Jo?
24:40Because everyone's written me off my whole life, Dad.
24:44Yeah, selling second-hand cars, yeah, it's not...
24:46It's not glamorous.
24:48It's not exactly my dream job, but...
24:51I like it.
24:53I'm good at it.
24:54Yeah, I know.
24:54I know who you are.
24:56But then you just swan in, Dad.
24:57Mr Bossman.
24:59You're treating me like your assistant.
25:04I'm sorry.
25:05Right?
25:05I meant what I said.
25:06We're a team.
25:06Yeah.
25:08I'm not gonna do anything over there that you're not happy with.
25:10Right?
25:14I am still the owner, Lauren.
25:16So the sooner you get your red round out, the better.
25:34I'm sorry.
25:35Okay.
25:39I shouldn't have said what I said.
25:41Okay?
25:43That...
25:43I'm trying to get my head around all of this, and...
25:47And you're giving me nothing.
25:50That's cos I am nothing.
25:54Why are you saying that?
25:55I shouldn't be here.
25:58I don't belong in this family.
26:00Well, of course you do.
26:02What do I offer?
26:05Hmm?
26:07And what do I provide?
26:10For anyone.
26:15I have no purpose.
26:17Yes, you do.
26:19You do.
26:21Okay?
26:21You look out for Nugget and Avani.
26:24You look out for me.
26:28So now, I'm gonna look out for you.
26:31Okay?
26:33That's why...
26:35That's why you have to go and see your doctor, babe.
26:37They can't help me.
26:38Yes.
26:38I can't.
26:39Yes, they can.
26:40Okay?
26:42We're gonna make you an appointment, an urgent one for tomorrow.
26:44I don't wanna go.
26:46It ain't just about what you want.
26:48Okay?
26:50Me and the kids, we need you to do this.
26:55We're your family.
26:58We're gonna get you through this.
27:01I promise.
27:04We love you.
27:09We love you.
27:12Oh, we love you.
27:15Oh.
27:17Oh.
