00:00MUSIC
00:20Morning.
00:22That looks heavy.
00:24I'm just off to the laundrette.
00:25You got a hand?
00:26No, I've got it. Thanks.
00:32Well, I'm here in early.
00:34Yeah, well, I thought I'd get ahead of the game.
00:38Sorry, I was waiting for Ian to get there for Jimmy.
00:40That's all right.
00:42Did you speak to Mark about these business cars?
00:44Er, yeah, I think we're done with all that.
00:46Bit hasty, isn't it?
00:48You've got Jimmy's fees to pay and all that.
00:49It was just one car.
00:51I mean, the mark-up weren't even worth the hassle.
00:56All right.
00:57Go and buy some coffees, will you, please?
00:59That nice place by the tube.
01:02Yeah, go on. Blast in and all that.
01:11Prita.
01:14The car that Mark brought, what do you reckon?
01:17I mean, it's good of him, wasn't it?
01:19Especially because he don't know Lauren that well.
01:21Yeah, somehow I doubt he was doing it up goodwill to all men.
01:25Well, it's not exactly a gland, would you?
01:27Yeah.
01:28Where do I start?
01:30Do you know what?
01:31Sorry, leave me out of it.
01:32You've got a problem with Mark.
01:34Take it up with him.
01:40Young Josh, he doing okay?
01:43He freaked out a bit, but he's talking things over with his mum.
01:48And when do you think he might want to meet his birth family?
01:51Well, we could invite him to lunch.
01:53No, we've got to be patient, you know?
01:56He just needs a bit of time, that's all.
02:00Yeah, he's got a lot to get his head round, Pops.
02:03What about Zoe?
02:05That is a touchy subject.
02:08And his adoptive mother.
02:10Sandra, she's a proper diamond.
02:12And they're as thick as thieves, isn't it, Kim?
02:14Yep.
02:16He's had a good life, Patrick.
02:18Except for that place.
02:19It could do with a big shop, you know?
02:21Some serious personality.
02:23But none of that actually matters.
02:26He's safe, and he's loved.
02:29Yeah, we've just got to follow his lead.
02:31But all do we know for sure.
02:33He's got a good mother, a life of his own, whatever.
02:36He's just brushing us off.
02:37Oh, no.
02:38No, he's not like that.
02:40None of us know him.
02:43Not really.
02:44Maybe.
02:46We've just got to take his word for it.
02:58What do you think?
02:59Yeah.
02:59Tight.
03:00Here it is.
03:01All right, I'm off.
03:02Oh, wait.
03:03We're welcome.
03:04He was happy enough when we came home last night from the gaming grounds.
03:08Should say.
03:09Yeah.
03:10Reminds me of the summer that I worked at Camp America, 1994.
03:13Some of the teenagers like this.
03:14Yeah, listen, Bea, I've got to go over at Stratford after work.
03:18Oh.
03:18Pick up some stock.
03:19Oh, well, I can be around for Will and Janet.
03:21It's not a problem.
03:22No, no, no.
03:22I didn't mean that.
03:24He's fine looking after the thought, you know.
03:27Actually, Bea.
03:28He's got a lot on his mind.
03:30I'll cook.
03:31Because at family dinner, that'll do him good.
03:33No, no, no.
03:34Honestly, you really don't need to do that.
03:36Just leave it to Nanny McBee.
03:38Yeah.
03:47A lot of aids go, please, Murray.
03:49I'll get my usual as well, please.
03:52How's it going?
03:53Richie called.
03:54They've set a date for Jasmine's trial.
03:56Has anyone come forward with her phone yet?
03:59No.
03:59Sorry, I ain't heard nothing.
04:01She's really struggling.
04:02And without that video, I just wish I could see her.
04:06Look, I'll get that.
04:07But that phone's probably been stolen or wiped by now.
04:10And the chances of someone coming forward is slim.
04:13I mean, you're talking two years.
04:15You know, perverting the course of justice.
04:17Thanks.
04:20I suppose it's understandable.
04:21How can he take Josh at his word when he's never even met him?
04:26Well, you heard the kid did.
04:28Do you know what I mean? We have to go at his speed.
04:29No, no. I respect that.
04:33It's just I wish there was something we could do to...
04:36raise Patrick's spirits a little while we wait.
04:40Oh.
04:43How about he writes him a letter?
04:47Yeah.
04:49Because, you know, it might help him while Josh figures things out, you know?
04:53Well, good luck with that one, mate.
04:56The most props it's written is on a betting slip.
04:58I know.
04:58He did really well with Anthony's eulogy.
05:00Remember that?
05:02Mm.
05:02You see it on the telly all the time.
05:03It's like a sort of, um, a gentle introduction.
05:07So, so Josh can see Patrick is a good man.
05:11Watch this here.
05:23Max.
05:24What are you after?
05:25Quick bout in the ring?
05:26Uh, nah.
05:27Nah, you're all right.
05:28Boxing's for mugs, innit?
05:31Nah, listen.
05:31I saw you sniffing round Lauren last night.
05:33What's all that about?
05:34Made a deal.
05:35Remember?
05:36We're mates.
05:37But I just didn't learn that friendly.
05:39It's because she tells me how it is.
05:40I don't really know what the game is with you, all right?
05:42But just steer clear.
05:44The car lot is legit, all right?
05:45Because I don't really need anyone muscling in.
05:48Not muscling in on anything.
05:49Exactly, all right?
05:50No more deals.
05:52No more cozy little chats.
05:54You stay away.
06:11Hey.
06:13A hundred quid, so Sookie didn't bring you breakfast in bed.
06:17I got it in one.
06:20Right, go on then.
06:21Split it up.
06:22Um, well, she certainly didn't like hearing it from your dad.
06:26She said I was foolish and that we rushed things.
06:30Well, it's hardly breaking news, is it?
06:31I mean, look, it's what we do now that counts.
06:34I don't want you to stress.
06:35You know, I've set her straight, Ben.
06:38Look, I get that she's angry, but...
06:41I mean, talk about double standards.
06:43What, you're all supposed to support her mid-life adoption journey.
06:46Why can't she just be happy for us?
06:47I think that's nigh on impossible.
06:53I'm not gonna shy away from this, Vinnie.
06:56She's not having this baby.
06:58We are.
07:00And if she's gonna try and scare us off,
07:04she's got another thing coming.
07:09Beautiful.
07:10This is very kind of you.
07:12Ah, it's all right.
07:12It's just a good deed.
07:14That's all.
07:15See you later.
07:17Oh, there she is.
07:19There you go.
07:21I haven't paid yet.
07:22It's all settled, my dear.
07:23If only we all had such good friends.
07:26Thanks.
07:26You didn't need to do that.
07:28I'm sorry about it the other day.
07:30It was Cora.
07:30She got on my head, but I shouldn't have spoke to you like that.
07:33I get it.
07:34I was on the wrong end of Shirley's acid tongue for years.
07:37She could burn metal.
07:40Um, I'm gonna go and get Annie from nursery in a bit,
07:43if you fancy coming.
07:45Uh, yeah.
07:45Yeah.
07:46Sounds great.
07:48Oh, Denise.
07:49Oh, Clio.
07:50All right?
07:51Ah!
07:52Good to see you striking while the iron's popped.
07:55Six pages, Uncle Tim.
07:57Yeah.
07:57But the old lady keeps putting me off my stride, though.
08:00There is no excuse for bad punctuation.
08:02Oh, well, Kim's got it in her head that we're gonna pop round Sandra's later.
08:05Maybe we could take the letter with us, yeah?
08:08Well, if you're ready.
08:10Maybe, uh, well, maybe don't go into quite so much detail.
08:17No, it's just all this, this here about Anthony.
08:21And Paul.
08:24Anthony again.
08:25Yes, yes, but it's my own story.
08:27But maybe just keep it short and sweet,
08:30and then when you meet him finally, you can,
08:32you can open up a bit more.
08:38Do you think Dad's been a bit off today?
08:40Is he ever on?
08:42Yo, uh, fetch me one of my milkshakes,
08:44would you? I'm 100% parched right now.
08:46Get it yourself!
08:47Oi!
08:48Dad?
08:50I was thinking about asking Mark if I can rent a bit of space at the boxing den.
08:53What do you reckon?
08:54I mean, uh, don't run before you can walk.
08:56What do you mean?
08:57It'll be cheaper than all the gyms on the way into the city.
08:59Plus, I won't have to pay for the travel.
09:00I doubt he'll cut you a deal.
09:01Cut me a deal with family.
09:03Plus, he's already sorting you out with the cars.
09:04There's no guarantee.
09:05He's not exactly the reliable sort.
09:08Anyway,
09:10you can underestimate me, Mrs. Bill.
09:12This is for Jimmy, do you remember?
09:15Oh,
09:16what'd you like?
09:19Get some tables here.
09:20That's a good idea.
09:27It's on me.
09:29Perks up the jaw.
09:31Ooh.
09:33Feel popular today.
09:36I get it.
09:37You don't know me.
09:38Not really.
09:39But I used to have a Dutch friend.
09:41She was a magician's assistant, actually.
09:44She always said to share a problem, you immediately cut it in half.
09:48I mean, I don't mean cut you in half, obviously.
09:51That was part of her acting.
09:54The college group chat's been blowing up about this residential to Spain
09:57after our exams.
09:59Everyone's proper buzzing about it.
10:02Except for me.
10:03Well,
10:05why don't you talk to Mum and Dad?
10:07You know?
10:07You don't ask, you don't get.
10:09I can't.
10:10They've already thought out for an oldie.
10:12You really want to go, huh?
10:17Alright.
10:17Don't tell Mum, but
10:19there's this girl on my course.
10:21I do.
10:22I just...
10:24I thought if I went,
10:25we could just hang out all summer
10:26before we leave college.
10:28Oh,
10:29I get it.
10:31I had a thing with Daryl Rourke
10:34the summer after we left sixth form.
10:37He broke up with me when he went to Anglia Poly.
10:40I still think about how things might have been.
10:43Country pile,
10:44vulva estate,
10:46boy and girl to spoil.
10:48but I didn't have the guts to fight for it,
10:51and you do.
10:53I tell you what,
10:55I'll pay for the trip
10:56and you can pay me back in installments.
10:59Look, you can't do that.
11:00Plus, Mum's always banging on about debt.
11:03Oh, yeah.
11:04Well, she does have a point.
11:05But, you know,
11:07there's more than one way to skin a cat.
11:16Alright, do you want to get a table?
11:17Sort these out.
11:18Sure.
11:18Ah, there you do, alright.
11:22Matt, I know you backing off would last all of two minutes.
11:25Mark?
11:27Oh, right.
11:28Well, he's a grass and all, is he?
11:30What exactly did you say to him?
11:32No, I just told him I'd see you two talking, that's all.
11:36When?
11:36What's the matter?
11:38Look, I told him to back off the business, alright?
11:40I don't need his help.
11:41What happened to trust in me?
11:43I'm your dad.
11:44I'm looking out for you.
11:45Geezer's dodgy.
11:47Why don't you just stick to looking after the kids that actually need you?
11:56I still can't believe your brass neck.
11:59Listen, I'm doing my bit for the community, yeah?
12:01You wait until you see that smile on her little face.
12:05It'll be a miracle she don't whack you over the head with that tiger loaf.
12:08You're so rude.
12:09Hi!
12:10Hey, that's a turn up for the books.
12:12What are you two doing here?
12:14Well, ta-da!
12:16Oh.
12:17Right, erm, yeah, great.
12:19Well, you better come in then.
12:20Yeah, thank you.
12:23It's cold.
12:27Sorry, I wasn't expecting visitors.
12:29I've just been cleaning out the cupboards, you know, ahead of the moon.
12:32Oh, it never ends, lass.
12:35So, I overdid it at the bargain basement earlier.
12:40And seeing as I can't fit you all into our little humble abode,
12:43I thought I'd share the love, you know, Sarge?
12:45Just a few little basics, you know, to keep you going.
12:48And Josh is a grown boy, innit?
12:49You know, we're doing all right here.
12:51They're just having a time to get a shop in.
12:53Yeah.
12:54Yeah, it's just a little goodwill gesture.
12:59Yeah.
13:00Goodwill gesture.
13:01That's not the only reason we came.
13:05Erm...
13:05Sir Patrick...
13:07Sorry, that's, erm, Josh's birth grandfather.
13:12Yeah, he's been struggling a bit,
13:14so we thought it'd be best for him to sort of write it out.
13:18And that way he might put Josh at ease.
13:22So...
13:22Oh.
13:23Oh, that's lovely.
13:29Look, do you want a cup of tea?
13:31Not seeing as we've got tea bags in there.
13:33Yeah.
13:34Yeah.
13:37Lauren will come round, you know?
13:39You did the right thing.
13:40You're a good dad.
13:42Hello!
13:43Hello, Annie.
13:44How are you?
13:44That's nursery.
13:45Dead.
13:46Yeah?
13:46Are you all settled at Canham's?
13:48We've got to get to the office.
13:50Look, we've missed you.
13:51How are we, Annie?
13:51Not now, my boy.
13:53Just cut us some slack, will you?
13:54It's got nothing to do with it.
13:55Listen, your mum's reaching out to you.
13:56She's trying her best, which is what we're all doing as parents.
13:58It's fine, Max, obviously.
14:04Thanks for that.
14:06And for lunch, we had a nice time, didn't we?
14:08Right.
14:09Come on, sweetheart.
14:10Bye.
14:11See you later.
14:11Bye.
14:12Bye.
14:15We feel for Josh, you know?
14:17I mean, Denise never met her birth father.
14:20For a long while, she thought it was Patrick, but...
14:23DNA doesn't lie.
14:25Oh, crikey.
14:28How about something stronger to drink, ladies?
14:31Oh!
14:32Ah!
14:33Like Prosecco Pam.
14:34She gives us a while back.
14:36Aw.
14:37She just slipped away watching Going For Gold.
14:43I'm kidding!
14:44I knew we had you two there.
14:47I mean, it's not that old.
14:49Please.
14:50Here's some red wine there.
14:52It's so nice.
14:54My Joshie.
14:55Having good people looking out for him.
14:57Yeah.
14:58Well, tell him, take as much time as he needs.
15:02There really isn't any pressure.
15:03Yeah.
15:04I mean, I always knew he was going to try and find his birth family.
15:08But, you know, I did wonder.
15:11What if...
15:12Well, what if they weren't kind?
15:14You know, what if they were stuck up?
15:17You know, not open.
15:18Like us.
15:19Well, look, there's absolutely no worries on that front.
15:23There's a lot of love to go around for him back in Walford.
15:27Yeah.
15:28Well, you know, after Keith died, we had to sell up.
15:31And that's when we came here.
15:35It certainly wasn't part of the plan, having fostered twins.
15:39But we made the most of it.
15:41I did my best.
15:43Well, you have raised an amazing, wonderful young man.
15:47And now you're part of our family too.
15:50Yep.
15:50We're not going to take him away from you.
15:52Oh, no.
15:53Wild horses couldn't keep us apart.
15:56But how about a toast?
15:58Yeah.
15:59Yeah.
16:00To new beginnings.
16:01Oh.
16:01To new beginnings.
16:02To new beginnings.
16:04No.
16:10That's a terrible glass of wine.
16:13Yeah.
16:14It's interesting.
16:15I haven't tasted anything this bad since the time I was around.
16:22Easy.
16:22What do you mean?
16:23Well.
16:24No one told me Little Mix were back together.
16:26Oh.
16:27Oh, no.
16:28Actually, we could be salt and pepper.
16:30Oh.
16:30And it could be the DJ on the decks.
16:32Is it DJ Cinderella?
16:33DJ Spinderella.
16:36Spinderella.
16:38Anyway, we better get going because we've left Rhiannon in charge of the salon.
16:43Oh, no.
16:44Don't go.
16:45It's nice to see mum hanging out with people her age.
16:47Hey.
16:48Excuse you.
16:49Yeah.
16:49Look, Denise and Kim, they brought a letter.
16:52Oh.
16:53From your birth grandfather.
16:55Wow.
16:56Okay.
16:57Well, look, there's no rush to read it, but...
17:02He is thinking of you.
17:06Um, we'll see ourselves out, yeah?
17:09Yeah.
17:09Yeah.
17:09And please do not be a stranger.
17:12Do you hear me, Hen?
17:14Five percent Scottish.
17:19It's really good of him to write like that.
17:21He must be old school.
17:24You're not going to open it?
17:25Well, what if this ain't the happy ever after everyone's expecting?
17:29Well, there's only one way to find out.
17:33Oh, come on, Joshy.
17:34Don't put a front up.
17:36Like, you getting to know them, it...
17:39It does not affect anything between us.
17:42Are you sure?
17:45Of course.
17:47You know, whatever you decide, I will be right there with you.
17:55Oh!
17:57Careful, you're gonna break a rib.
18:12Oh, you on your own?
18:13Eve's been held up.
18:15Something about a smoky grill.
18:17Oh, rather than me.
18:18Yeah.
18:21If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were avoiding me.
18:23Hardly.
18:24We just don't move in the same circles, that's all.
18:28Take what's spoken to him.
18:30Might come as a surprise to you, but we do communicate.
18:32Just not about birth control.
18:36Look, I know Vinny's already tried, but obviously this isn't gonna work until we thrash it up.
18:40Look at her.
18:42You two weren't even an item a couple of weeks back.
18:44Well, we are now.
18:44So you better get used to it.
18:46Okay, me and Vinny, we really care about each other.
18:49Oh.
18:49And how's that gonna help you doing sleepless nights?
18:51Or whenever you need a handout?
18:53Vinny knows the score.
18:54So why don't you cut the cord and give him the credit he deserves?
19:01All we want is your blessing.
19:03But if you can't manage that, then we will bring this baby up on our own.
19:24Hey!
19:25Why are you not doing anything?
19:26Oh, we're having a celebratory tipple, and then we're all back home for burgers, aren't we?
19:31You celebrating what?
19:35Well, there's a residential after the summer term, and I don't have to ask you for the money,
19:41so Bea said you ought to find a job.
19:43Yeah.
19:43That way, Will can save for the lion's share, and if you and Honey do have any spare sponduees...
19:48Well, if you needed money, why didn't you ask me to go on this trip, eh?
19:52I've had a word with the owner.
19:53It's all above board.
19:54It's local.
19:56Flexible hours.
19:57What owner?
19:58Where?
19:58Here.
20:00I'm a new glass collector.
20:01Oh.
20:02Good, isn't it?
20:06Right, I'm off.
20:07Oh.
20:08I thought you went down till 11.
20:09No, it's dead in here.
20:11Ta-da.
20:12See ya.
20:15There's not much call for aging gingerbears in here.
20:17Look.
20:19I just thought I'd mix things up, you know.
20:21And there was me thinking you were avoiding the Vic.
20:24Zoe?
20:27Uh, apparently they fixed a date for Jasmine's trial.
20:30Oh, well.
20:32There's not much we can do about that, is there?
20:35Oh.
20:36Stick another one in there, please.
20:38Get one for yourself.
20:39Oh, blimey.
20:40People start talking.
20:42I can buy you a drink, can't I?
20:44What's the occasion?
20:47I don't know.
20:49Got a lot to take it over.
20:51Spending time with Annie, me and Byron, sort things out.
20:55Oh.
20:56All you need now is your pipe and your slippers.
20:59I'll see you, actually.
21:01For now.
21:19Bea, um...
21:20Oh.
21:21Good to see Will's back to his old self, isn't it?
21:24Yeah.
21:24Yeah, you, uh...
21:26Certainly put a smile on his boat.
21:28Well, it's his first job.
21:30It's a big deal.
21:31Yeah.
21:33Listen, Bea, uh, I really appreciate, you know, you looking out for him and stuff like that,
21:38but, uh, lining him up for a job at Harry's Barnet.
21:42Really?
21:43It's got to start somewhere besides Nicholas' family.
21:47Yeah, but it's...
21:49It's not exactly the safest place for him, is it?
21:51Oh, come on.
21:52He's collecting glasses, not manning the door.
21:56Well, what about his coursework?
21:58Well, he promised me he'd manage it.
22:00Okay, so why is this trip so, so important right now?
22:05Well, it's his last year in college.
22:08Yeah, I know that.
22:08Thanks.
22:09I was just trying to help.
22:11He was just very wound up about it all.
22:13Yeah, well, why don't you just leave the kids to me and honey, yeah?
22:17You make it sound like I'm imposing.
22:19A bit of independence might do Will some good.
22:22Hey, I don't need you telling me what I have to tell my son, okay?
22:26So just back off!
22:30Bea.
22:31Sorry that, that come out wrong.
22:34Bea, I'm sorry.
22:36I'm just...
22:38I'm...
22:38I'm...
22:39I'm just gonna go and run myself a bath.
22:46Oh, mate.
22:47That was a long day.
22:49Oh, I think it's a sweet job, should I?
22:50Too late for him, Annie?
22:51Oh!
22:52I'm talking to the devil.
22:53Thank you for dropping the letter off.
22:55It was proper lush.
22:56I can't believe he's part of the Windrush generation.
22:58Oh, well, full of stories is our Patrick.
23:00Yeah.
23:01So, me and my mum, we had a talk and I've decided that I want to meet him and the
23:05rest of the family.
23:06Time waits for no man and all that.
23:08Oh, that is great news, isn't it, Kim?
23:10Yeah!
23:11So, you want to come over right now?
23:13Oh, no, I can't.
23:13Student night at Soho.
23:14It's cheap and wild.
23:16I'd say come, but...
23:18Yeah.
23:20But...
23:21We're not that old.
23:22Oh, mmm.
23:23If you go, then we'll speak to Patrick.
23:26I want the pie, anyway.
23:27Okay, bye.
23:27Ta-ra.
23:30Oh!
23:31Oh!
23:36Mate.
23:37I've literally waited all day for that.
23:40Sorry I didn't see you there.
23:45You know, there are easier ways of getting my attention.
23:53Banana.
23:55Good shot.
23:57You're a good shot.
24:03You're a good shot.
24:07Bye.
24:10Bye.
24:11Bye.
24:11Ollie's refusing to go to bed.
24:14Johnny always managed to get him to go off okay.
24:17I gather you had a couple of words on the market earlier.
24:21Barely. Couldn't even look me in the eye.
24:24Luckily, Max was there to soften the blow.
24:26I can't keep up with you. One minute you're friends, the next minute.
24:29Yeah, well, it's complicated.
24:31He's complicated. Not to mention unreliable.
24:34And forgive me for saying so, and don't take it to heart,
24:36but he is as slippery as a Southend eel.
24:40He really stepped up today.
24:42And us being on good terms makes things easier with Annie.
24:45Oh, I get that.
24:47But one chivalrous act doesn't turn him into Mahatma Gandhi.
24:52I just don't want you let down.
24:55I left him propping up the bar at the Albert on his lonesome.
25:01Look, he's putting down roots and really trying with his kids.
25:05You know, deep down, he is a good man.
25:07Yeah. But for how long?
25:17So why am I getting deja vu?
25:20Elaine's right.
25:21I'm done.
25:24All right.
25:26I'll get out of your way.
25:27No, no, no. Finish.
25:28All I'm going to be doing is going home and sticking in my earplugs.
25:33Oscar, I think he's trying to rival your record.
25:39Thanks.
25:39Come on, Cindy.
25:42It wasn't that bad first time, was it?
25:44Until everyone found out.
25:46Do you really want to blow all that up again?
25:47Yes, I've known what's going on here.
25:50It's chemistry.
25:52It's bigger than both of us.
25:53Yeah, exactly.
25:54And too many people stand to hit her.
25:57Yeah, where's being good ever got us?
26:02Come on, Cindy.
26:05We like each other, don't we?
26:09It's more than that.
26:11Much more.
26:15I'm sorry about Stephen.
26:18I am.
26:19I've just got caught up in something.
26:21I couldn't see a way out of it.
26:24Why has that never happened to you?
26:28I wasn't there, was I?
26:29No, that's what I'm saying.
26:30We make mistakes, don't we?
26:33At least we don't pretend to be something we're not.
26:36We own them.
26:39We're survivors.
26:43No, I'm just saying that we don't have to hate each other, all right?
26:49I want to return a page.
26:53Start again.
27:06Bye.
27:10Bye.
27:11Bye.
27:14Bye.
27:25Bye.
27:26Bye.
27:27Bye.
