00:00Your cousin cost me a whole batch of steroids.
00:02You're gonna help me in Prince.
00:04I am so sorry.
00:07I've seen Mercedes flipped all that on its head.
00:09That's why I put her in rehab at Thornacre.
00:13Someone tells me we're gonna be good friends.
00:18What are you not getting, Steve?
00:20I can't do this.
00:23No one lies.
00:27I can't do this, wherever I was.
01:09She told me don't worry about it, she told me don't worry about it, she told me don't worry about
01:17it, drink this.
01:20So we can't go without it, she told me you're never gonna be alone.
01:28Unless you enjoy feeling like a sack of Spanners.
01:32I can't feel my face when I'm with you.
01:34I can't feel my face, but I love it, but I love it, but I love it, oh I love
01:39it, oh.
01:40I can't feel my face when I'm with you.
01:42I love a nook, love a boy you think?
01:44He's not my lover boy.
01:46I am.
01:47Only cause it's against the rules.
01:49I can't feel my face when I'm with you.
01:53I can't feel my face when I'm with you.
01:53What I love it, love it, what I love it, what I love it.
01:57I can feel my style, can't feel my face when I'm with you.
02:01Hey, how do I look?
02:05Looking pretty well for someone who's just been dumped.
02:07I'm gonna win Rex back.
02:09With a big, romantic gesture.
02:18Feeling any better after my miracle cure?
02:21Yeah, miracle.
02:23Honey, bicarb, salt and cider vinegar.
02:26My uncle used to drench his goats in it when they had the runs.
02:30I don't have the runs.
02:31But you did have a skimful last night, so you're dehydrated.
02:35Same as a goat.
02:37Yeah, listen, about last night...
02:40Me first.
02:41I gave you some very bad advice after Grace Tide about how to handle your grief.
02:48Thing is, I was raised to believe that you harden your heart to these things.
02:52Put up walls.
02:55I know why you burned Grace's clothes.
02:59You're trying to erase her from your life so it's less painful.
03:03That's not gonna work.
03:06We should be doing our best to celebrate her, starting today.
03:11We're gonna scatter her ashes.
03:15Right, I'm taking the terrible twosome into nursery. I'll see you in a bit.
03:18Come on.
03:21Phil, JP.
03:25Before you say anything, I am sorry, okay?
03:28Keep your voice down.
03:30Dodger is upstairs.
03:33Look, I didn't mean to get you involved in any of this.
03:36I just didn't want to go to prison.
03:38Well, I should have known.
03:40You think I'd be better at spotting wrong ones by now.
03:42Turns out I'm not.
03:43I'm just glad you're okay.
03:45Please, tell me you guys cleared up after yourselves.
03:49We ran out of time, but we did manage to lock up, though.
03:54Every single teacher in that school has a key to that class room.
04:03Right, please, come on. You gotta be late for school.
04:06Hey, hurry up and eat your breakfast and get off your phone, you.
04:09Alright.
04:10Actually, what are you doing after school? I could do with some help with Eva.
04:13I've got a study group.
04:14Row?
04:15Sorry, Mum, but I'm going to go and ask Rex if I can have a job at the garage.
04:20Why would you want to do that?
04:22Because I've decided that I want to be a mechanic.
04:25A mechanic?
04:27Since when?
04:28Since now.
04:30No, I don't think so.
04:35Okay, girls, look. I'm going as quick as I can. Mr. Struggles is definitely in here somewhere.
04:41Is this him on the floor here?
04:43Oh, you have got to be joking me. Look at the state of him.
04:48You've ran over him. He's Mr. Roadkill now.
04:52I've got to go.
04:54Hang on. I thought you was done being mad at me.
04:57No, I am. But you know what this village is like. There's eyes everywhere.
05:01I just don't want to get back to Mercedes.
05:04How is she?
05:05I don't know. I just need her back ASAP because I can't keep juggling the kids and work.
05:10I'm exhausted.
05:12Right, give me Mr. Snuggles. I'll fix him in.
05:15And why would you do that?
05:16Because I'm a doctor.
05:18And I am genuinely sorry for causing you and Mercedes to break up.
05:23We're working magic. I appreciate it. I just can't wait to see her.
05:28Come on, girls.
05:35Go on, where did you disappear to last night?
05:38You're like the rehab cendrillion.
05:41Just remind me, though.
05:44I snuck you in a bit of contraband.
05:47Oh, what have you smuggled in? I didn't want any part of it.
05:49Nikki, it's all in chocolate.
05:52It's that fancy brand on all you said you like.
05:55Mmm. Thanks.
05:58Don't know how you cope with day release. All that temptation.
06:01You said there's no temptation in here.
06:05Right, well, I'd love to sit here and play board games with you all day, girls.
06:08But I'm off for me once a lot.
06:10We lost anyway.
06:12Easy.
06:13You in the small group session later?
06:15I certainly am.
06:16See you there.
06:18Ooh.
06:19Okay.
06:25What?
06:26What about your one?
06:27Oh, fuck.
06:28Me and Warren are really together, so it's none of his business.
06:31You still love him, right?
06:34Then maybe.
06:35That's the connection you should be waiting on.
06:45Yeah, a forensic's found a couple of theirs.
06:48I'll chase lab results.
06:50What was all that about?
06:52It was an armed robbery at some fancy confectionery store.
06:55Oh, sweet.
06:57Brilliant.
06:59What was Rob like? A ton of gummies or something?
07:01Oh, two grand from the safe.
07:03Oh.
07:04It's a good job they've got their best detective on it then, innit?
07:06No.
07:09Tea, I'm sorry about last night.
07:11I was really tired.
07:13It's fine.
07:14Like I said, no pressure.
07:15It's fine.
07:16Hey.
07:17Do you see if I see your drink later?
07:19Mary's gonna pick up the kids' farm.
07:21It depends if I can catch this chocolate food for you.
07:25See you later.
07:25Hey.
07:29Everything all right?
07:32I'll see you later for that drink.
07:47I should've waited to have the cremation.
07:50I was in Scotland and neither of us knew how long I was gonna be.
07:53You did the right thing.
07:55I'd like to scatter her somewhere she felt at peace.
07:58She was never really at peace when I knew her.
08:01Not really.
08:03Well, I might have an idea.
08:06Rex!
08:07Wait.
08:08Oh, sorry, Steve.
08:10We're in the middle of something.
08:11James is dead to me, okay?
08:13But you're very much out.
08:16Still alive.
08:18And I can't live without you.
08:20I can't.
08:22So don't leave me hanging cos me knee is killing me.
08:28Will you marry me?
08:45She's such a snore.
08:47You need to waste.
08:48All you do is drink and wreck up death.
08:51No, but that does sound like loads of fun.
08:53And who knows?
08:54Maybe I might even meet my future husband then.
08:57Look.
08:58We'll speak to Mum.
08:59If you want.
09:00Why are you being so nice all of a sudden?
09:03Hey, not that I'm complaining.
09:14I've got a ton of paperwork to do, so I thought I'd hide out in there.
09:17I hope nobody can find me.
09:19It's freezing in there.
09:21Yeah, the radiator's knackered.
09:23I mean, you could take my office.
09:24It's toasty and warm.
09:26Yeah, all right.
09:27I'll add calling the caretaker to my list.
09:30See ya.
09:39See ya.
09:54So...
09:56What are you going to tell Steve?
09:59Maybe Mum can help me out.
10:04Grace loved the sea.
10:06She'll be out here every morning.
10:07We wouldn't see her till tea time.
10:09I'd ask her, what'd she do out here all day?
10:11You know what she said?
10:15I'll pretend I'm a queen.
10:19Surveying my kingdom.
10:23I'm going to be a queen one day, Grandad.
10:28She got her wish?
10:31Yes, she did.
10:34Yes, she did.
10:47I am...
10:49I know I'm not the only person.
10:52There's lost people that they love.
10:56There's no pain like it.
11:00But none of them people have done the things that I've done.
11:04You know, in my head...
11:07It's always been chaos.
11:11But it got to the point that it was just too much for me.
11:16It wasn't just affecting me.
11:17It would...
11:19It would really hurt in people that I loved too.
11:24That's when I started with pills.
11:27You know, I just...
11:29I wanted to feel some peace.
11:31Give myself a break.
11:35Because it was so, so exhausting.
11:40I really don't want to be an addict.
11:45I'm scared.
11:47And I just...
11:48I guess I'm scared that I won't find that peace without...
11:54my drugs.
11:55Hey.
11:58That's what we're here for.
12:02We're here to work out.
12:04Yeah.
12:12Are you ready?
12:15Yeah.
12:30God, I love you, Mum.
12:36I'm sorry I never got the chance to say that to you...
12:40until the very end, but...
12:44I'm gonna make it up to you by saying it every single day...
12:49until we see each other again.
13:08That's our grace.
13:10Say something nice.
13:12Just throw it right back in your face.
13:28Oh, wait till I tell Steve he's gonna wet himself.
13:32How are you gonna accept his proposal?
13:34Oh, hold on, I didn't say that.
13:36Well, he's the first person you're not sharing this with.
13:39Huh.
13:40Doesn't that tell you something?
13:44You know, you said about walls.
13:47Well, sometimes I feel like there's a wall between me and Steve.
13:51Like...
13:52And we can't be completely honest with each other.
13:55Is that why you've not told him the truth?
13:58About grace?
13:59And where you came from?
14:01You and Steve...
14:03don't have to share everything.
14:07Sometimes silence is the kinder choice.
14:15Come on.
14:16Come on.
14:31What are you doing?
14:33Hi, love.
14:35Sorry, I thought you were out then.
14:38Erm, I was just...
14:40reading a book of stories.
14:42Daddy Rose in primary, erm...
14:43You'd hoped he'd be a world-famous author.
14:45Well, I at least thought he'd do something artistic.
14:50Well, were those your hopes for Rose?
14:52Hey, hang on a minute, Ray.
14:53This has got nothing to do with him being transgendered, okay?
14:56I wouldn't want you to be a mechanic either.
14:58And Rose, clever.
15:00He should be focusing his energies on getting good GCSEs,
15:03not messing about with cars.
15:04And since I'm guessing he sent you round here to try and twist my arm.
15:07You can tell, Ro.
15:08That's me final answer.
15:10And why do you care so much anyway?
15:27Do you know that stuff you were talking about today?
15:29Mm-hmm.
15:31Have you spoken to your ex about that?
15:33What's his name?
15:33Warren.
15:35You don't really do feelings, but...
15:37neither do I.
15:38Well, you did a pretty good impression of someone who does.
15:42I'm learning.
15:43Got a good teacher.
15:47I've invited Warren to a couple's therapy session tomorrow.
15:53What, so it's not over?
15:55Over?
15:57Honestly...
15:57I don't know.
16:10But you could've just said...
16:13Well, maybe I wanted an excuse to get close and personal.
16:22I mean, talk about bad timing.
16:26Yeah, did you not see the giant urn under his arm?
16:28Alright, please, just stop.
16:29This is you all over, though, Steve.
16:31You jump in without thinking, don't you?
16:33Alright.
16:33I get it.
16:35I'm an idiot.
16:37Yeah.
16:38You are.
16:40I'd heard you'd moved back in.
16:42Rex.
16:44I am so sorry about having...
16:46Please, let's not talk about all of this, all over again.
16:49Let's just get married, be happy,
16:52and if you want to talk about James, please, just do me one favour.
16:58Talk to someone else.
17:00You will marry me.
17:03Yeah.
17:04Yes.
17:07This comes for a celebration.
17:12Right, let's get some glasses.
17:15I know.
17:29Oh, Diane.
17:30I believe these are for you.
17:32My dad's first official customer.
17:34Oh, nice, thank you.
17:35I had the kids to be made up.
17:38And this is for you.
17:40Oh, nice one.
17:41Oh, I appreciate your work.
17:43Good.
17:44Bound me a drink now.
17:46Fine.
17:47Tell me everything you know about couple of therapy.
17:50Hey, I won't have to talk about my feelings, well.
17:56Oh, I hold down the lab and now they call.
17:59I'll catch you up.
18:01Savage.
18:05What's she doing here?
18:07It's not what you think.
18:10Oh, I'll just give Mr. Snuggles a bath.
18:12Mr. Snuggles?
18:13Yep, Mr. Snuggles is Maria Carmella's bunny.
18:16She fell on the floor.
18:19Wine, please.
18:21Two white wines and the usual for me.
18:23Please, Dad.
18:24Oh, wait, wait, wait, you say that again, I didn't catch the name.
18:32You're absolutely sure it's his DNA?
18:47What's that?
18:49Can I come in?
18:51Er, yeah.
18:56I saw the light on outside and, er, wanted to give you this.
19:02Some lady had a flat tyre and you were closed, so I changed it for her.
19:06Safely and carefully, of course.
19:08So the money's yours?
19:10Well, I'd much rather have a job if one's going.
19:14Oh, I see.
19:16Er, well then, in that case, I can, I can do a child shift.
19:20After school.
19:21Really?
19:22Yeah.
19:23Yeah, why not?
19:23Well, actually, I might have some overalls that are just your size.
19:31Awesome.
19:35See you Monday.
19:36See you Monday.
19:37See you Monday.
20:09May I?
20:20May I?
20:22Warren Fox, you're under arrest for armed robbery.
20:31So what's the big surprise then?
20:33Oh!
20:34Got the new pizza wheels.
20:36What do you think, Dee?
20:45So?
20:47Where'd I start?
20:50We said it after school.
20:51Is it teacher training day?
21:03Hey.
21:04Hiya, Jane.
21:07Isn't one coming in today for your counselling session?
21:10Yep.
21:11Well, they better be.
21:20Robbery!
21:22I knew we were supposed to unrobbed, eh?
21:24Host chocolate shop in the Outlet village.
21:26Thousands.
21:27Try and get out of that one.
21:28Yeah, well, I've been set up.
21:30He's gonna nick me in front of my own kids.
21:32All right, let's take him in.
21:41Hey, you know, I've just seen Warren get dragged into the back of a police car outside the McQueen's.
21:45For what?
21:45I heard something about him robbing a chocolate shop.
21:47Yeah, it was the police in the Outlet village got knocked off.
21:50They've got a suspect, though.
21:52He had a bounty on his head.
21:55Um, I think you might need to get going soon, because Mizba's gonna be off on the light shift.
21:59Okay, I'll get this all cleared away, and then I'll head to the kiosk.
22:02Hey, you fancy doing some flying later?
22:05Okay, but Mizba doesn't know yet.
22:07If she finds out I've invested in this pizza business and she's not happy...
22:10Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
22:11He'll be out.
22:13Hey, did you know it was International Pizza Day today?
22:16Oh, yeah.
22:17Really?
22:18And we should hit the socials.
22:21Two for one specials to celebrate!
22:22Now you're talking!
22:23Yes!
22:24Er, don't leave the boomer in charge of your social media.
22:27He'll have a cancel within the minute.
22:30That's true.
22:31Cheek!
22:32Right, I'll leave you to it.
22:34I've got stuff to sort out before work.
22:36Yeah, see you later.
22:37You were quiet this morning.
22:39Didn't fancy any pizza for breakfast?
22:41Hmm.
22:42No, not really.
22:43Is it Dad or Mizba?
22:44I know it's hard.
22:46No, it's me.
22:47It's me.
22:49I mean, obviously I'm happy for them with the pizza business and everything.
22:53But...
22:54I just feel like since I lost Robbie then I've had nothing and I've been plodding along and
23:00covering Dylan at the kiosk and getting wrecked on the weekends.
23:03Well, change your life then.
23:05No one's gonna do it for you.
23:09So, after you've lubricated the gasket, you refill the engine with the correct amount of
23:13oil.
23:15Is that it?
23:16Well, there's a bit more but the kettle's just boiled.
23:19Right, okay.
23:21So, er, your mum definitely knows you're here, yeah?
23:24Yeah, of course.
23:25Er, where are the vickies?
23:27Oh, er, left middle drawer.
23:28Great.
23:30You know, you can ask me any questions.
23:32I don't mind.
23:33Like what?
23:34Being trans, pronouns.
23:36I don't take offence, it's just whatever makes you comfortable, you know?
23:40Well, I don't need to ask you anything.
23:42And you shouldn't have to go out of your way to make other people feel comfortable.
23:45I'm used to it.
23:47Probably shouldn't care so much but I just want an easy life, you know?
23:51Keep everything out in the open.
23:53Well, I mean, if you, er, if you graft and you make a decent car, probably won't have
23:58any problems, will we?
23:59Sounds good.
24:00So, have you always wanted to be a mechanic or have you got any other hobbies?
24:04Like what?
24:06Dunno, like football or something.
24:09Well, I didn't really have that much of a normal childhood if I'm honest.
24:13But yeah, cars, yeah, I've always liked them since a young age.
24:18I remember this one lad in my foster home.
24:20He would, er, he was a mechanic, I think I fancied him and he, he, he had all of these
24:25Hanes manuals in his bedroom and I would nick them and read them by torchlight under the
24:30covers.
24:31What's a Hanes manual?
24:33There's so much to learn.
24:35Right.
24:36So, have you got any other interests or just this?
24:40Why are you asking me all these questions?
24:42Well, Rex, Leah's coming back from the engagement party.
24:46Engagement party?
24:47Behave.
24:48We are having one.
24:49It's exciting, innit?
24:50I've just been on the phone to her but she can only do the 23rd.
24:53Wait, you two are getting married?
24:54Eh, shouldn't you be in school?
24:56Well, I have to teach a training day.
24:57And when you think about it, February is perfect.
24:59I know we've just missed Valentine's but it's the start of spring, it's the start of new
25:02beginnings.
25:04So I'm gonna speak to Diane and see if I can have the hutch, sorry, if we can have the
25:07hutch as a venue.
25:09I love you.
25:10Goodbye.
25:16You've been trying to nick me for years.
25:19But robbing a sweet shop, do me a favour.
25:21Well, we found a hare.
25:25It's yours, Warren.
25:26No chance.
25:26We tested it, it matches your DNA.
25:29Yeah, well I'm clearly being set up.
25:30Well, there's been an allegation that you stole a taxi from Mr Osborne and we suspect
25:35it was used for the robbery.
25:38He's made a statement naming you.
25:41Did he know?
25:42Where were you on the night in question?
25:46No comment.
25:48Just tell us so we can clear this up.
25:50No comment.
25:52So, trim him at an angle, lukewarm water, put in an old penny for good luck.
25:57Your mum used to use sugar and white vinegar.
25:59Oh, that's reminding me actually.
26:01Found your boxes down the back of the radio.
26:06Game on!
26:08Do you fancy a bite to eat later?
26:09Oh, yeah.
26:10Yeah.
26:12Okay.
26:13Love you.
26:16Matthew's been accepted into a school in Switzerland.
26:18That's nice.
26:19Maybe I should join him.
26:21Leave behind this life of crime.
26:24I mean, who'd have thought I'd have been involved with another degenerate police officer?
26:27Like you said, let's just keep our rest down, do this batch of stairs with Mr Smithy and that'll be
26:31the end of it.
26:32I do try to get Faith to sample a more cosmopolitan palette but she's just an egg and chips kind
26:37of girl.
26:38Yeah, it's great.
26:39I heard about Warren.
26:41Why was he arrested?
26:43He got done for robbing a chocolate shop, apparently.
26:45Yeah, they arrested him with the kids in the house.
26:47Bang out of order.
26:48I've got to go.
26:49See you.
26:50See you.
26:55Tinhead!
26:57Warren didn't do the robbery, did he?
26:59You know something.
27:02Thousands of pounds were taken from the safe.
27:06Dodger, I need to get out of here, mate.
27:09I promised Mercedes I would be there.
27:11I ain't letting you go, Warren.
27:12You're in a lot of trouble.
27:14A crime scene with his DNA.
27:16No recollection of where he was that night.
27:19I'd say that's an understatement.
27:27If I don't change now, then I'm going to be stuck helping out at the kiosk for the rest of
27:32my life and I just want more.
27:35Oh, sorry.
27:37Excuse me, do you have any almond milk I'm thinking of introducing?
27:40Yeah, it's in the fridge.
27:44It's funny you mentioned wanting more, because...
27:48It's only in business.
27:49It's on.
27:50What?
27:51Look! It's up for rent.
27:52I mean, if Marie can do it, then I can.
27:54I hate the way that she did my nails.
27:56But I could do natural hair, afro hair.
27:58Do you want to be a hairdresser now?
27:59Well, I could train as a beautician as well.
28:02Frankie, we could do it together.
28:04I'm going to London.
28:05London?
28:06I should have a pop at you for selling roses on the cheap.
28:08But seeing as it's nearly Valentine's Day, I'll let you off.
28:11Do you have any of those, like, posh fondant fancy cakes?
28:14They're a special friend's favourite.
28:16Yeah, we do.
28:18I'm...
28:23Reapplied for that down school.
28:25Well, you didn't tell me you were doing that.
28:26Because I didn't want to jinx it.
28:28And I thought they'd say no, but they didn't.
28:30They said yes.
28:30Right, so you're leaving me then.
28:32When?
28:33Where you off?
28:34London.
28:35I haven't even told my dad yet.
28:37The first person I wanted to tell was you.
28:38What, so?
28:39After everything that we've been through together, you're just going to leave me by myself in this village?
28:43Well, I thought that you'd be happy for me.
28:45No, I obviously am, but...
28:47I'm just trying to live the life that I've always wanted.
28:49Oh.
28:50Without me, really.
28:51My best mate.
28:52Selfish look-out.
28:54Just because you're too lazy to get off your backside and get your own life, don't take it out on
28:58me!
29:01Break a leg at dance school.
29:02About them.
29:06Detective.
29:07Yeah?
29:08A word.
29:10I'm sure there's been a development.
29:13There's some money to see you.
29:17Can I help you?
29:20I've got some information about Warren Fox.
29:24He was with me the night of the armed robbery.
29:28In my bed.
29:36I didn't need a fake alibi.
29:39I've just got you off an armed robbery charge.
29:41A thank you wouldn't go amiss.
29:43In fact, I could think of several ways you could thank me.
29:47So was that your plan?
29:48Eh?
29:49Set me up and then ride in and save the day.
29:52I'm late for Mercedes now.
29:55I did you a favour.
29:57What?
29:57To try and get me back into bed?
29:59Or to have some kind of hold over me?
30:00It's pathetic!
30:01I risked my career for you.
30:03I could have been struck off for giving a false statement.
30:09Look, Warren.
30:10I was just trying to do the right thing for once.
30:12I know you didn't get involved in the robbery.
30:15How do you know?
30:18Gemma!
30:20You need to start talking.
30:25How's Cleo?
30:28Oh, she's still got this horrible distant look in her eyes.
30:33You know, it's just like she's lost in herself.
30:36Yeah, she will be.
30:38Everything was so painful and fuzzy and numb when I was postpartum.
30:44I didn't think I could look after my child either.
30:47Do you still think she could have hurt Joseph?
30:52I don't know. I don't know.
30:54I don't know.
30:58Hey!
30:59Where did you disappear to?
31:03I got the favourite cakes for my lunch break and a little something for Valentine's.
31:08Look, I can't stay.
31:10I've got something to tell you.
31:13I've got to leave town.
31:15Leave? Why?
31:17I haven't entirely been honest with you.
31:19I knew it. He has been cheating.
31:21Seriously, I haven't.
31:24It's the deal with me ex.
31:26There's just so much history between us.
31:29I've got a chance with her again and...
31:32I want to take it.
31:35Okay.
31:37Okay.
31:37What? No, Lib.
31:38He's a scumbag.
31:40Sorry, Lib.
31:42Look, before we met in that florist,
31:44I'd had my fingers burnt so badly that I just...
31:47thought I could never trust a man again.
31:51The last few weeks.
31:54Well, aside from all the giggles we've had,
31:57you have shown me that there are some genuinely good men left in this world.
32:00Missed you around?
32:01Hey.
32:02What are you?
32:02We never pretended this was serious.
32:04And you have come here to tell me the truth in person
32:07because you are a good guy and...
32:09I appreciate that.
32:12I really hope you and your ex work it out.
32:15I'm not too sure I deserve all that.
32:19Lib.
32:20You are one in a million.
32:36You're one in a billion, actually, and he's right he didn't deserve that. Are you okay?
32:44You know what?
32:46When I was a little girl, my dad gave me a really good piece of advice.
32:50He said,
32:51when things go wrong,
32:53don't be sad it's over.
32:55Just be glad it happened.
32:57And I am.
33:00I am really glad that me and Tina had happened.
33:02Even just for a little bit.
33:08Special offer, International Pizza Day.
33:11So how's Missed by?
33:13Did she ask about me?
33:15Don't think you've got any right to ask.
33:17Yeah.
33:19She's hurting Donny.
33:21Wondering why you treated her so badly.
33:25Speaking of,
33:26she might pass through here.
33:27We should get going.
33:28Come on.
33:30Aww, so you're engaged.
33:31Well that is amazing news.
33:33But how many weddings is that now?
33:34No I don't, I've lost count.
33:35I want this one to work though.
33:37I just want a healthy, normal relationship.
33:39And he knows everything about me now,
33:40we've got no more secrets,
33:41so why not get married?
33:43Which is why I'm here actually.
33:44Can we use the Hutch for an engagement party?
33:46Yeah, of course you can.
33:47Frill.
33:48Okay, so I'm thinking February the 23rd.
33:51Oh, the 23rd.
33:52What?
33:53Well I promised Jack and Pearl
33:54they can have the engagement party on that date.
33:56Look, we need that date especially.
33:57I've got Alia flying over from San Diego.
33:59And she's booked the flights now,
34:00she can't change it, it's too expensive.
34:02Well, Jack asked me first,
34:03he's given me a deposit now, so...
34:04And I didn't expect to be paying either.
34:06Let me get this.
34:06I practically run this place.
34:08Nancy.
34:09Hiya Nance.
34:11Ro?
34:12No, he's not off six today.
34:13Sorry?
34:15Erm...
34:16Yeah, I'll sort...
34:16I'll speak to you in a bit.
34:19I think our road's bunked off school and he never saw stuff like that.
34:24Do you know where he is?
34:28Tinhead!
34:29Warren's been released.
34:30How?
34:31You haven't said it was me, have you?
34:33Not to the police.
34:34But I wasn't gonna watch him get sent down for something he didn't do.
34:37He's after your blood.
34:43Hiya, it's Nicky.
34:44Leave a message.
34:45Nicky, pack your bags and come to get you.
34:47Oh!
34:47There you are.
34:49I went shopping and I got you that handbag that you wanted.
34:51Vicky!
34:52I can buy my own handbags.
34:53You need to be investing your money more wisely.
34:55Right.
34:57When I did see the salon in the village, it's a police.
35:00I thought Frankie's going to London, so...
35:02Why do you need Frankie?
35:04Well, I...
35:05I suppose I don't, really.
35:06But I don't know the first thing about a business plan, do I?
35:08Now that is something I can help you with.
35:11Got my x-ray back yet, Doc?
35:13I've been waiting hours.
35:14Yeah, it's just a spring.
35:15I'll be with you in a minute.
35:16Right.
35:17Meet me at the Casa and we'll come up with a plan for the salon together.
35:20Aww.
35:20You gonna help me?
35:21Of course I will.
35:23Like, I didn't have a sister to count on growing up, but you've always got me.
35:26Thanks.
35:33Are you going all dolled up?
35:35All meant to have a counselling session with Warren.
35:38But clearly, he couldn't be bothered showing up.
35:42Well, Mercedes, I'm...
35:43I'm sorry.
35:46Are you, though?
35:48Not really.
35:50So, now I'm in the mood...
35:52...for a different kind of session.
36:07Oh, er, Prince.
36:08Glass of sangria, please.
36:09I am celebrating.
36:10What are we tossing to?
36:11Er, right, so basically, I'm gonna start my own business.
36:13I'm gonna take over the salon and Jim's helping me.
36:16Nice one, Vic.
36:17You'll smash that.
36:18Thanks.
36:18And, hey, when you run in the place, make sure you shout me.
36:20I'll come do a fitness takeover for your customers.
36:22Oh, yeah, amazing.
36:23Thanks.
36:24Alright, well, um...
36:25Yeah, that drink's hearted.
36:28I'm gonna miss you, too.
36:30What?
36:31Well, that's why you got angry with me, isn't it?
36:33I'm sorry, I should have told you, but I don't wanna fall out.
36:36What?
36:37Oh, what am I gonna do without you?
36:43The doctor's sister, isn't it?
36:45Er, yeah.
36:47I'm a talent scout for this face now.
36:51What?
36:52My Old Juniper modeling agency.
36:56You've got exactly what we're looking for.
36:58For this big high street campaign.
37:00Oh, right.
37:02Well, if this is Gemma's idea of some sort of joke, it's not funny.
37:06Er, get some professional-looking shots done.
37:08Send them over to me.
37:09This could be a big break.
37:11Right, okay.
37:12Shall we get home?
37:13Yep.
37:14Yeah.
37:14Oh, er, Prince, can you tell Gemma that I've gone home?
37:16Thanks.
37:17Yeah, see you.
37:20How weird.
37:22How many coffees do you have in one day?
37:24Keeps me awake.
37:26Shouldn't you be going home?
37:27Don't you sleep much?
37:28You must have a lot on your mind.
37:29See, I either listen to a podcast or wave music.
37:32Oh, do you know the infinite monkey cage?
37:33You ask too many questions.
37:35Why don't you grunt and salt like all the other teenagers?
37:38No, I'm not like the others.
37:40Oh, it's my mum.
37:42Quick, take this!
37:43Diane!
37:43Take this!
37:47Rex, where's my son?
37:49I know he's here somewhere.
37:50I never said anything.
37:51Oh, which proves he is?
37:53I'm a mechanic, not a childminder.
37:54Oh, look, I've told them, this is no place for a smart kid like him.
37:57He should be thinking about universities.
37:59Are you saying I'm not smart?
38:00She didn't mean it like that.
38:01Have you ever used a diagnostic computer system or completed a transmission overall?
38:05Or are you too busy pouring pints?
38:07That's not the point.
38:08Right, where is he?
38:09Well, it's obviously not here, so can we go back and sort the engagement party out, please?
38:26Nick, I'll just leave.
38:27I am in rehab.
38:28It's not that easy.
38:29Nick, Alex, why are we halfway down the M62?
38:31No, tell me what's going on.
38:32Nick, I'll get you in rehab somewhere else.
38:33Please, we've got to go now.
38:35You!
38:35Oh!
38:36He's not set me up, did you, eh?
38:37No!
38:38Leave him alone!
38:39Get up!
38:41No!
38:41It wasn't my fault!
38:42You can send me to prison!
38:44You can take me away from my missus and kids!
38:46No!
38:47Please, don't eat him!
39:04He's not as good!
39:06I love you!
39:06OK, he's got enough!
39:07Please, stop!
39:08You're gonna kill him!
39:09Get off me!
39:11Stop!
39:12What's up?
39:12The little idiot don't come get one over on me!
39:14It's Warren!
39:16Get off the fire!
39:17Come on, you little rats!
39:21Whatever this is, he can fix it!
39:23Warren!
39:23What have you done?
39:24You tell me why you set me up for that robbery!
39:26Because you made me.
39:27Get off me!
39:28Who was he?
39:29Get off me!
39:30I haven't finished with you!
39:31It's that teenage you were talking about.
39:33He didn't hold me to him!
39:34Just so you know, he's been having a bit with Liberty.
39:36My neighbour.
39:39Nick, we've got to get out of here.
39:42We're not going anywhere.
39:44Until you tell me exactly what's going on.
39:49Hey!
39:50I can't believe you lied to me!
39:52And you should be ashamed of yourself.
39:54Covering for kids, bunking off school.
39:56I'm not a kid.
39:56And I told Rex there was no school today, so please don't make it see.
39:59I will make as big a scene as I like.
40:01You know how I feel about you wanting to be a mechanic.
40:03Maybe we should leave him to it.
40:05Right, like it or not, you are going to university to get a degree and a proper job.
40:08Excuse me!
40:10Being a mechanic is a proper job.
40:12Right, you know when I want your opinion, I'll ask for it.
40:14Right, well you're in my garage.
40:15So I'm going to spout my opinion as much as I want.
40:18Look, from what I've heard, you and Tony have been amazing encouraging Roe to be true to himself.
40:23You have been.
40:24So why is this any different?
40:25Look, Roe here has found something that he likes, he enjoys doing, and he's not hurting anyone.
40:31So what's the problem?
40:32Look, I just want what's best for me kids, okay?
40:35I get that.
40:38And look, I can't speak as a parent, but isn't your kid being happy and fulfilled the whole point?
40:44Well, yeah.
40:45Right.
40:46Well, if it's alright with you, and as long as he isn't bunking off a school,
40:52can Roe please hang out here and learn the ropes when he can?
40:58Is this what you really want to do?
41:02Fine.
41:04Right, but listen, you better wash your hands properly every day before you come home,
41:08we don't want to get an oil all over my furniture.
41:12You should have to have the last word.
41:14Right, I heard that.
41:19Hang on, before you go, have you given him more thought about binning off Jack and Pearl's
41:23engagement party booking so me and my fiancée can have it instead?
41:25Yeah.
41:26Yeah?
41:27Brilliant, nice one. Cheers, Diane.
41:28No, I mean, yeah, I've given her some thought.
41:30I'm sorry, Steve, but it was face-come-face-served.
41:33You'll have to find somewhere else.
41:34Sorry.
41:41Hey.
41:43That girl I've been seeing.
41:46We were on a break.
41:47Tinnered.
41:47So, who you see or you don't see, it's none of my business, is it?
41:52Well, I want her to be.
41:54That's why it's over.
42:00This mess you're in with Warren.
42:02I'd done her to pay for this place.
42:05It wasn't to get back at him before it happened as well.
42:09You told me you'd put all her to bed.
42:10How could I?
42:12When he come to us last year and asked to invest in his club,
42:15he said we'd be rolling in it.
42:17And all I could think was every penny would go on another round of IVF for us.
42:22And they wouldn't have failed.
42:23He was just like, ah, you win some, you lose some.
42:26So we got angry, yeah?
42:27So what did you do?
42:29I wanted Warren to feel what it was like to lose every penny he had.
42:33So I blagged I was him, and I got a loan from this moody crowd.
42:36Oh, Ted.
42:38I'm well over my head here, Nick.
42:41This guy come and tracked me down.
42:42And when I couldn't pay, he got me to do stuff for him.
42:48What sorts of stuff?
42:50He made me nick a cab and make sure that the owner thought it was Warren who got nicked.
42:54And then, things escalated.
42:58Escalated how?
43:02Armed robbery.
43:04I had to leave Warren's DNA there to make sure he got nicked for it.
43:08Why could you be so stupid?
43:09When I heard he got nicked in front of his kid.
43:14What happened to his nap?
43:16The guy I borrowed this money off, Nick, he's dangerous.
43:20So we have to get out of here now.
43:22Please, Nick.
43:33Excuse me.
43:34Sorry, I'm not sure if you're doing refunds, but can I return these, please?
43:39They're not past the sell-by, are they?
43:42I've told Frankie countless times to check the stock for that.
43:45You know, chocolates are fine, I just won't be doing Valentine's Day this year.
43:50Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
43:52Oh, don't be. It's been while it lasted.
43:54Anyway, it wasn't the romance of the century, you and Jack.
43:57All you and your sexy mechanic.
43:59When you find the one, you just know, don't you?
44:02Yeah, you certainly do.
44:05You're surprising the chipper, after what's happened.
44:08What's happened?
44:10I thought you knew.
44:11Knew what?
44:12About Diane, she made a mistake when she took the booking for yours and Jack's engagement party.
44:16Mistake?
44:17Yeah, so it seems that someone else has booked it on the 23rd for another engagement party.
44:21Whose?
44:21Hold on.
44:23You and Rex got engaged?
44:24Yeah.
44:25Oh, congratulations.
44:28Thanks.
44:28I'm very pleased for you and Rex, but Jack and I have paid our deposit.
44:33I'm calling Diane.
44:34What for?
44:36To give her a piece of my mind.
44:37Look, I might have just bent the truth there a little bit.
44:41You mean you lied?
44:42Yeah, I did.
44:42But it's cos my daughter's coming home from the States on the 23rd, so we need that date, especially.
44:46I'm sorry, Steve.
44:48Jack and I got there first.
44:50You and Rex will have to find an alternative.
44:55So this guy reckons you could be a model?
44:57I don't know why he looks so surprised.
44:58I mean, I'm clearly the hottest woman in this village by a country mile.
45:01And clearly the most modest.
45:03Yeah.
45:03No, I didn't mean you, Frank. I just know my worth, that's all.
45:05Are you seriously considering this?
45:08Yeah.
45:08Maybe.
45:10I'm not sure, you know.
45:12Dylan, why do you always have to put me on such a downer?
45:14I need something going on in my life.
45:16Like, she's off to London to train as a dancer.
45:19And you're doing that pizza business thing, whatever, with my dad.
45:22Keep your voice down.
45:24I've not told Aunty Misra about that yet.
45:25Alright, calm down.
45:27This is the first time that I've had something to be excited about since...
45:31Robbie.
45:32Yeah, Robbie.
45:35I just think you need to be careful.
45:38Do you even know anything about this guy?
45:40Cos let's face it, we know more than anyone that...
45:43A lot of people, they're not who they say they are.
45:45Yeah, but I've got brains as well as beauty, Dylan.
45:48I've done my own work.
45:50And look, honestly, this face now is like a proper modelling agency.
45:55See, you gotta argue with that, can't you?
45:57Okay.
45:59Yeah, Miles said to take some photos, so...
46:01Please, can you take a picture of me?
46:04It's on you.
46:06I'll do it, Lord.
46:07Okay. What do I do, though? Tell me what to do.
46:10Right. Excuse me?
46:12Hip-hop.
46:12Aw, that's nice!
46:15I know you're annoyed.
46:17Yeah. Yeah, I am annoyed.
46:19Family sessions are a really important part of the programme, Warren.
46:23For you to show me that I'm not alone in here and...
46:27Well, to see that I'm taking accountability for everything.
46:30I know. And I'm sorry.
46:32Are you? Cos you couldn't even show up on time.
46:35Yeah, well, I would have been on time if he hadn't got arrested this morning.
46:38Arrested?
46:39Well, I didn't do anything wrong, that tinhead set me up!
46:41Do you know what, Warren?
46:43This is you all over, innit?
46:46You just lash out when life gets hard instead of actually talking about your feelings.
46:53Come on, Murphs.
46:54Me and you, we talk all the time.
46:57When?
46:59Go on, when have we actually had a decent, meaningful conversation lately?
47:04Cos, you know, I don't know what's going on in your head most of the time.
47:08Fine.
47:09Look, if it means me and you working things out, I'll try and open up a little bit.
47:14It's not just about you opening up, is it?
47:17You've got to listen.
47:19To try and understand me.
47:22What is so funny?
47:25You're complicated, Mercedes, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
47:29But there is not a bloke on this earth who could understand you.
47:33That's where you're wrong.
47:35And what's that supposed to mean?
47:37Nothing.
47:38No, come on, you've got a crush on one of the doctors.
47:40Crush on a doctor?
47:41No, not on a doctor.
47:42Oh, so a patient.
47:44So come on, what's this junkies name?
47:45Why?
47:46Because I'd like to have a chat with him before I leave.
47:48Oh, why?
47:48So you can do what you did at Tin Ed?
47:50No.
47:50I'd like to know what his game is.
47:52Game, there's no...
47:53Games, Warren.
47:56See this?
47:57This is why we could never be together.
47:59Cos no matter how hard you try,
48:04you're always still gonna be...
48:06you.
48:08And I ain't got time for that in my life right now,
48:10so can you go?
48:16Fine.
48:18I'll go.
48:41I'm not a bloke who likes to be ignored, Tin Ed.
48:45Sorry I was here.
48:46Save your excuses.
48:48Got another little job for you to do.
48:51What if I said I'm sick of doing your stupid little jobs?
48:54Then it'll be the last thing you ever do.
49:12You're looking surprisingly upbeat.
49:17I heard on the grapevine that Warren was arrested this morning.
49:21Was he?
49:23I don't know anything about it.
49:24And quite frankly, I don't care.
49:26Me and Warren were always a disaster waiting to happen.
49:29But you and my dad are dumb and dusted.
49:34I'm just sorry that you and Vicky and Dylan were caught in the crossfire.
49:38Speaking of Vicky, what do you think of this?
49:41So, with the money that Rex gave them,
49:43she's planning on asking Frankie to go in on the salon.
49:46I think that's a great idea.
49:48Spanner in the works.
49:49Frankie's planning on going to London to some fancy dance school.
49:52So, I'm gonna be Vicky's new business partner.
49:56Well, how will you manage that alongside your duties here?
50:00I'm gonna give it up being a doctor.
50:03It's just not for me.
50:04I'm joking.
50:07Vicky's gonna do most of the grafting.
50:09I'm here to give the support.
50:10This is very kind of you, Gemma.
50:13My intentions aren't entirely selfless.
50:16It will help take my mind off Warren.
50:18I thought you said you weren't interested in him anymore.
50:22I lied.
50:24Are you really sure of setting up a new business
50:27just to stop you thinking that your ex is a good idea?
50:30It's not just about that.
50:32Look, when I was growing up, the house was always so boysy.
50:35And I always dreamt of having a little sister to knock around with.
50:38So now that I've got one, I intend to make the most of it.
50:41Vicky's very lucky to have a big sister like you.
50:49Thanks for sticking up for me early on my mum.
50:52I know she can be a bit full on sometimes.
50:54She just wants what's best for her son.
50:56Look, I'm gonna talk to her
50:58and work out when's best for you to be here
51:01without missing school stuff.
51:05What?
51:06I think you're brilliant, you know.
51:07Me?
51:08Just an ordinary guy.
51:11No, you're not.
51:13There's something special about you.
51:16Well, that is very nice of you to say, Ro,
51:18but please go home for your tea
51:20before I get your mum on the warpath again.
51:22All right.
51:23So.
51:24Let's.
51:36Let's take these lies, and make them true.
51:42So what I have to see is that I don't belong to you,
51:50and you don't belong to me.
51:52Freedom, freedom, freedom, you got to give what you take
52:03Freedom, hold on to my freedom, freedom, you got to give what you take
52:26I've got something for you.
52:29It's an invite to mine and Rex's engagement party.
52:32Oh, yeah, you know I would love to be there.
52:34And maybe if Cleo's been discharged, then she can come too.
52:38Seen sense so we won't have to clash.
52:40No, no, no. Same date. We've just changed your venue.
52:43We're having ours at the dog now.
52:45Yeah. You've not handed your invites out of it yet?
52:49No.
52:51Shame. Seems like yours might be a quiet affair then.
52:54Don't forget to RSVP.
52:56Yes.
53:02Staring at it's not going to make it ring, you know.
53:04I just don't get why Miles hasn't got back to me.
53:06Probably because you only sent him the photos like an hour ago.
53:08Or the pictures weren't as good as we thought and he's changed his mind.
53:12Oh, I swear, that gorgeous boy gets bigger every time I get home from work.
53:17What's up with you?
53:19What?
53:22I take it that's Miles?
53:25Who's Miles?
53:26The man that's going to make me a supermodel.
53:28He said he loved the pictures and he thinks I'm perfect for the job
53:31and the casting tomorrow's just a formality.
53:33Yay! Well done, Auntie Mickey!
53:36Can one of you tell me what's going on here?
53:38Have you not heard?
53:39You little sister's backed herself a year-long modelling contract.
53:42What?
53:43Modelling?
53:44Read it and weep.
53:45It's fantastic, innit?
53:46Woo!
53:47Woo!
53:49Yeah, great.
53:52Mmm!
53:53Yeah!
53:54Woo!
54:07You ready?
54:08Tim?
54:09I'm sorry.
54:11I can't come with you.
54:12Is this about that girl?
54:13Because I explained before.
54:14No, it's not about that.
54:17I'm making real progress in here.
54:20I'm not ready to leave.
54:21Nick, I've got to get off.
54:23It's too dangerous.
54:23Then you're going to have to go on your own.
54:28Is that us?
54:29Done again?
54:31When I came back to Liverpool after uni,
54:33the last thing I expected was to end up in a relationship with our Emily's husband.
54:39But I did.
54:41And I know it's been hard at times.
54:44It's been really hard.
54:48Miss Gareth, just...
54:52I do love you.
54:54I just need to sort meself out first.
54:56So there's still a chance for us?
54:58And if you want it.
55:01More than anything else in the world.
55:03Look, Nick, I've got to lay low.
55:04I don't know where I'll be.
55:06But when you're ready to leave here,
55:08no matter where I am,
55:09just give me a call
55:09and I'll come and get here, yeah?
55:11I promise.
55:30Dylan, hey.
55:33How are you?
55:35I'm all good, I think.
55:38I haven't told Miss B yet, but
55:40I'm using that money that Rex gave us to go into business with Donnie.
55:43Donnie?
55:43I thought he's a cop.
55:46Not anymore.
55:47He's a pizza chef now.
55:48Oh.
55:49It's all going to be rivals, aren't we?
55:51Listen, as much as I love a deep-dish pepperoni,
55:54it doesn't compare to that fancy stuff you lot cook up.
55:58Anyway, how are you?
56:02Yeah, um...
56:02Have you heard about me and Rex?
56:05The two of us are tying the knot.
56:09I'm happy for you.
56:10Are you sure?
56:11Because I know...
56:11No, look, I...
56:13What happened between us, it should...
56:15It should never have...
56:15It should never have happened.
56:18Lucas won't be behind bars if I hadn't...
56:21pursued you like I did.
56:24I'm glad you've got your happy ending.
56:27Do you want to come in?
56:34Well, you can't do the food at your own party, Steve, so...
56:37I could.
56:38But you think I'm going to serve pizza to my guests?
56:41It's just a thought.
56:42Well, it sounds like a brilliant idea.
56:44Deal.
56:49I'll see you there, mate.
56:56I've just never put the pieces together
56:58that the Warren you've been talking about
57:00was my old neighbour in Liverpool.
57:02Small world, innit?
57:04So are you two going to be, you know, sorting things out?
57:07I've got no.
57:08It's complicated between us, it always has been.
57:10Because we've shared so much in here.
57:12I feel like we've been mates forever.
57:14Don't you be getting all soppy on me,
57:15because I'll sharpen friend you.
57:17Which is why I feel like it's okay for me to...
57:20say to you,
57:22maybe you should just put Warren
57:23in the back of your mind for a bit.
57:25Focus on you.
57:26Maybe.
57:27I saw Jake leaving before.
57:30I don't know what's happened there,
57:31but he said he wasn't coming back.
57:41I need to put the pressure up on Warren.
57:44I want to watch it burn.
