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