00:00Your cousin cost me a whole batch of steroids.
00:03Still, what are you doing messing around with trucks?
00:06It's an invite to Man and Rex's engagement party.
00:10Seeing said so we won't have the clash.
00:12No, no, no. Same date. We've just changed your venue.
00:15Yeah, you've not handed your invites out of here.
00:18I'm going to be Vicky's new business partner.
00:20Vicky's very lucky to have a big sister like you.
00:22Have you not heard?
00:23Your little sister's backed herself a year-long modelling contract.
00:26What?
00:26I need to put the pressure up on Warren.
00:28I want to watch it burn.
00:30I want to watch it burn.
01:09I'm ready for my close-up.
01:12Oh, cheer up.
01:13Stihay knew exactly what he was doing.
01:15The question is, what are you going to do about it?
01:28Oscar, what's this?
01:31As far as I'm concerned, anyone who brings police to our door don't deserve a seat at this table.
01:39But I'm talking to you.
01:41Quicker, quicker, quicker, quicker, quicker, quicker.
01:46You and Donnie, going into business together.
01:50Right. Legs. Or boobs. Cos I wanna look sophisticated, but not like a nun.
01:55Who's bragging to Dylan about today being just a formality? Why are you making a big
01:59song and dance about what you're wearing?
02:00Well, I wasn't bragging, was I? I was just excited.
02:03What? About your face being on a couple of bus stops in Chester? Hardly Paris Fashion
02:07Week, is it?
02:08Well, no, not yet. But if Miles signs me, then it could be, couldn't it?
02:11You had plans to take over the salon. A proper career.
02:14I'm sorry, but modelling is a proper career. I don't wanna be sweeping up manky hair off
02:18the floor, do I? And besides, why are you being such an energy vampire?
02:20Do you know what? I am done indulging your childish fantasies. It's your life. Do what you want.
02:25Get lost, yeah.
02:29You should've come to me. Anything could've happened.
02:31I know. I'm sorry.
02:33Right, go on. We'll finish this later.
02:39Mm.
02:41Hey. Hey.
02:42Can you believe I found a vial of steroids in Oscar's bag this morning?
02:46What? He's adamant that nobody gave it to him. He said he found it in one of the classrooms.
02:50Have you noticed any of the pupils acting suspiciously? Anyone with, you know, extra money, new phone,
02:57expensive trainers?
02:58No. No, nothing.
03:00It's just so terrifying to think that Oscar, or any pupil, could be exposed to drugs like that.
03:05Here. Again.
03:07Lance, I'm so sorry.
03:08Well, it's not your fault, but I'm going to have to do a risk assessment as part of the school's
03:12safeguarding procedure.
03:14Talk to the other teachers, inform the parents.
03:16Do you think that's really necessary? I mean, you know, we could just keep our eyes open and, you know,
03:21deal with it in-house.
03:22A bit late for that. I've already called the police to hand over the evidence.
03:25Let's hope they discover who this disgusting little drug pusher is.
03:33Miss Bird, did you get the ingredients for that de-bloating smoothie? Because I need it before my cast did.
03:40Look, I'm... I'm sorry I didn't clear the pizza thing with you first. Donny was just so excited.
03:45I can back out. I don't want to upset you.
03:48Dylan, it's fine. But with your help, it's bound to be a success.
03:55See, Miss was happy for my dad, even though he's done her dirty. But Gemma, I mean, come on, what
04:02happened to women building each other up instead of tearing them down?
04:05What kind of sister doesn't support your dreams? I tell you, the jealous kind.
04:09I'm sure that's not the issue here.
04:12I think Miss was right.
04:14No, because she was all like, oh, strike out on your own, Vicky, follow your dreams, Vicky.
04:18And then when it actually comes down to it, then she just couldn't care less.
04:20Stop being such an ungrateful little madam.
04:24Stop shouting at me.
04:25You have no idea what your sister's done for you.
04:30What do you mean?
04:32She's purchased the lease on the salon so you two could go into business together.
04:39Oh, does that fuck on of a mouth of yours ever have a day off?
04:42Yeah, well, Mercy was stupid enough to not make you put your wellies on while you two were getting frisker.
04:48What's going on with them knuckles, eh?
04:52Didn't get them playing with dollies, did you?
04:54Me getting knit for that armed robbery was a load of nonsense.
04:57You know it, and so do they.
04:59PHONE RINGS
05:01Hello? Who's that?
05:02Hey, what do you think about this?
05:04Present for my dodge for Valentine's Day.
05:06You what?
05:08I'm on my way.
05:09What's wrong?
05:10My club in Liverpool was sat on fire.
05:15See?
05:16Told you.
05:17Pell, I don't think that Steve would deliberately sabotage our engagement party.
05:22Well, I do.
05:23That little weasel was handing out invitation like sweets to everyone on our guest list, including you.
05:29I didn't know it was clashing with our party.
05:31However, I've got a lovely treat lined up for you on St Valentine's Day.
05:35Oh, Vicky, um, did you finally get the invitation I slipped through the door this morning?
05:40Er, yeah, but we're already going to Steam Rex's that day. Sorry.
05:45Sort it out, or there won't be an engagement to celebrate!
05:50Oh, hi Zoe. So glad you called. Is little Theo with you?
05:59Skiving?
06:00Yeah.
06:02I've had a couple of meetings, but I'm doing the rest of my work at home.
06:04Oh.
06:05Misbah told me about the salon.
06:07Misbah's got a big mouth.
06:09Why didn't you say anything?
06:14I planned to.
06:16I had the contract in my hand, but...
06:18you were on cloud nine about your scouting, so I just...
06:22let me look like a selfish cow.
06:25It was a bad idea.
06:27Like, neither of us have any experience in running a beauty salon.
06:30Well, with the amount of money that we spend there,
06:32you'd have thought that we'd be experts.
06:36Can you get your money back?
06:37It's not about the money.
06:39I did this to support you.
06:40I never got the chance to be a big sister growing up, but...
06:44you're more excited about modelling, I get it.
06:48Well, maybe I can do both.
06:50Seriously?
06:52Yeah.
06:53Have you still got the keys?
06:54I mean, there's no harm in checking it out, is there?
06:57Oh!
07:00Hey!
07:01I think Nancy's blown this all out of proportion, to be honest.
07:05Thanks for coming.
07:06I've spoken to the people involved and I'm reassured
07:08that they've found the aisle of drugs in the classroom.
07:11Kids will say anything to get out to see in the headmaster.
07:13Headteacher.
07:14And I believe them.
07:15Hey!
07:15More and easier steroids.
07:17Have they turned up elsewhere, though?
07:18Yeah, we recently busted a cooking operation,
07:20but these gangs just tend to open up a new kitchen someplace else.
07:23Please tell me you're not suggesting that was made on school property.
07:26Yeah, it's possible.
07:26Well, your security's decent here.
07:28I mean, we'd know, surely, if someone had broken in.
07:31Yeah, it does seem like a bit of a stretch.
07:33All the same.
07:34We'd love to conduct a search of the suspected classroom.
07:36We can't take any chances where kids were involved.
07:38Fair enough. Follow me.
07:42Well, you'd better not fall apart in there.
07:45You know what'll happen to you and your cousin.
07:46Take out control to all units.
07:48The synergy of tension.
07:49Condition red.
07:53This has never gone away.
07:54Don't you be backing out on me now?
07:56I need to get in them files and find out what's going on with Jake.
07:59Yeah.
08:00So, come on.
08:01What are you gonna do?
08:05Compu 101.
08:06Oh.
08:08Nice.
08:09Come on.
08:19Ow!
08:20Oh, my God!
08:21Me back!
08:21Me back!
08:22Oh, Gail!
08:23I think I've just slipped the disc.
08:25I'm an absolute agony.
08:26Oh, no, Gail!
08:26Please, don't leave me.
08:27Don't leave me.
08:28Oh, my God!
08:29The pain!
08:30The pain!
08:31I'm in!
08:31Ow!
08:32Oh, me back!
08:34Oh, my God!
08:37Obviously, we'll give the place a facelift when we start making some cash.
08:42It's barely dry from the last one.
08:44I know.
08:45But there's nothing wrong with making the place a bit more classy.
08:47Attract some of those yummy mummies.
08:49Hike the prices up.
08:50You've really thought this through, haven't you?
08:52Of course.
08:53I've done my market research, my business projections before I sign the contract,
08:56which leads me to my next point.
08:59We could have a treatment room.
09:01Non-evasive procedures.
09:03Botox.
09:04It could be a one-stop pampering shop.
09:09Who's that?
09:11Erm, it's Miles.
09:14He said that the client dropped in and saw my pictures.
09:17And if the shoot goes well today, then I'm 100% definite for London.
09:20Oh.
09:21Sorry, as much as I love the idea of, you know, running this place with you,
09:26it'd be crazy not to see where this could take me, right?
09:28You understand?
09:29Don't you?
09:30Yeah!
09:30Oh, yeah.
09:31Come here.
09:35Why don't you go and get ready?
09:36I'll take the keys back to the lighting agency and I'll come with you.
09:44No, this is not happening.
09:46For real.
09:48Do you think I'd joke about something like this?
09:51Dodger tore the entire classroom apart trying to find something.
09:56Apart from the vial that Oscar found, I think we're in the clear.
09:59Good.
09:59I've already spent one night in the cell.
10:01Don't plan on going back any time soon.
10:02Going back where?
10:05Nowhere.
10:06Eva, have you seen T?
10:08She's in Liverpool with Warren.
10:10I think his club was on fire or something.
10:13The steroids we found at the school are very similar to the ones
10:16from the bust we made recently.
10:18Oh.
10:19Like the ones you were arrested for.
10:22It's been ages since I was a pupil at Ollie Hawkes High.
10:25It's got nothing to do with me.
10:27You've been getting very pally with Smithy recently.
10:29How do you two come across each other?
10:32Well, he's in recovery.
10:33I shouldn't really be telling you this.
10:36We met at a meeting.
10:40It's just I've got reason to believe that he's corrupt
10:42and there's a strong possibility that he's involved with those steroids.
10:45So if there's anything that either of you boys want to tell me,
10:49then now it's probably a very good time.
10:53Because the longer this goes on for, the worse it's going to be.
10:57For everyone.
11:01There's nothing to say.
11:03I don't know anything.
11:06Smithy made us do it.
11:26Look past the camera.
11:28A little bit less stiff.
11:30Loosen up the shoulders.
11:32There, there.
11:33There you go.
11:34Keep it going.
11:38Yeah.
11:39More.
11:41That's it.
11:41That's it.
11:42There, isn't it?
11:46A little bit more.
11:49There we go.
11:51That's the one.
11:54So, what makes you think you have what it takes?
11:57Erm, well, I'm willing to do the long hours.
12:00Erm, happy to get thrown into any situation.
12:03And I know it's not glam all the time, so I'm not princess or anything.
12:06You really want this, don't you?
12:08Yeah.
12:08I mean, when I was a kid, I never dreamt of an opportunity like this.
12:13No one really gave me the time of day, to be honest,
12:15so this would literally change my life.
12:19So?
12:22Sorry.
12:23But it's a no.
12:26You're not what a client's looking for.
12:30What?
12:30Is it the photos?
12:32Because I'm happy to take more.
12:33I mean, I've got time.
12:34Can you bring the next one in?
12:36But I'm sorry, you're the one that found me.
12:38You said that I was perfect for this, so what's changed?
12:40You were wearing a coat when I saw you.
12:42And does the client have something against coats?
12:44They want a less curvy model.
12:46If you lost half a stone before next week's shoot,
12:49then it might have worked.
12:50But it's too late.
12:53It's lovely to see you.
12:54Can we get you over here for some test shots?
12:58You look amazing, by the way.
12:59Just over here.
13:04That's it.
13:04That's it. Keep it working.
13:06Vic, what happened?
13:07That's it. Now work.
13:08That's the one.
13:09Right.
13:11That's the one.
13:12That's the one.
13:14That's the one.
13:19No.
13:20I've already had it out with Pearl.
13:22As if I'd be so petty, mean-spirited and underhanded as if to sabotage someone's engagement
13:26party.
13:27Stop on, son.
13:28Please, Jack.
13:29I'm drowning here.
13:30Look at me.
13:31I'm just too busy.
13:32I can't even...
13:32No.
13:33You can help me.
13:33Get this.
13:34We need to spray this popcorn red.
13:36I've got a cinema club coming in taking over the restaurant for a love-a-thon.
13:40It's back-to-back rom-coms all day long.
13:42Steve.
13:43Can we come to some arrangement?
13:44I bet the party did.
13:46Well, I wish.
13:47But I've had to persuade my daughter to fly all the way from San Diego home to me.
13:50So, Jack.
13:51I'm sorry.
13:51My hands are tied.
13:54Me Caesar salad.
13:55What are you doing?
13:55It looks like a bloodbath.
13:56Yeah, like my home's gonna be when Pearl finds out.
13:59Jeez, I'm not for turning.
14:02I'm glad someone's having fun.
14:06What's happened?
14:13Are you okay?
14:14I shouldn't have come here.
14:15What happened in there?
14:17You can talk to me, Vic.
14:19They don't want me.
14:20I'm sure that is no reflection on you.
14:22He said that I was wearing a coat when he first saw me and now he can see that I'm
14:27too fat.
14:28He said what?
14:29I just wanna go home, okay?
14:31And forget about it.
14:32Forget about him.
14:32I never wanna put myself through that kind of humiliation ever again.
14:35Okay?
14:37Wait.
14:38He is not getting away with this.
14:40Stay here.
14:42That's great.
14:43A little bit more of that, please.
14:45Mm-hmm.
14:46Where do you get off telling young girls they're overweight?
14:49Especially when it's in no way through.
14:51Bullying women?
14:52Commenting on their bodies?
14:53Fostering this ridiculous, unhealthy, perfect size?
14:56You and this industry disgust me.
14:59You're the twisted sister who called me up and offered me money to turn her down.
15:03Turn her down by saying you found someone else for the job?
15:06You didn't need to be so mean.
15:07Take a look in the mirror, babe.
15:09And for your information, Vicky looked great.
15:12She's got what it takes.
15:13You tell her or anyone else about this and I will ruin you.
15:19You got that?
15:26Thanks for looking after me.
15:28Always. Come on.
15:32And then Zoe said she can't come because she's starting a new job.
15:37And Sharon's presenting at the conference in Abu Dhabi.
15:41So they're both not coming.
15:44I was so looking forward to them being here with little Theo.
15:51You can have the date.
15:53I don't think I've got the heart to organise anything now.
15:57What's the matter?
15:58Pearl's girls can't come to the party, so we're gonna have to cancel it.
16:02Don't cancel.
16:03I've been well looking forward to that free bar.
16:06It's fine.
16:07Come on, Pearl, let's get you home.
16:10Yeah, wait, wait.
16:11Maybe there's a solution to this.
16:14That we could host our engagement parties together.
16:16I know it won't be the same with your family not being here,
16:19but all your friends will be.
16:20And all our neighbours to help us celebrate together.
16:23And Rex won't mind.
16:24You'd do that.
16:28It's the season of romance, isn't it, Jack?
16:31Yeah.
16:32And let's face it,
16:34we're like one big happy family, aren't we?
16:36Hmm?
16:37I mean...
16:39We all love each other.
16:41Sorry, Steve, but you're not really my type.
16:42Shut your mouth.
16:44So what do you say?
16:47We'd love that.
16:48And that means more people will see my sonatas set on the night.
16:52Er, hang on.
16:53I didn't agree to that, did I?
16:55I told you to shut it.
16:56Jack!
16:57Jack!
17:01How's your back?
17:06What did you find out earlier?
17:08That Jake checked out yesterday.
17:10They've gone and they are not coming back.
17:13You got it?
17:14I doubt I'll see him again, but...
17:16Do you know what?
17:18I couldn't care less.
17:24Everything looks normal.
17:25Staff locking up.
17:27What do the fire people think happened?
17:29Dodgy electrics.
17:31They're gonna do a standard investigation.
17:33You think it was something else?
17:35Wait.
17:36There.
17:38Go back.
17:46Zoom in.
17:55Do you know him?
17:58I'm gonna need you to look after the girls.
18:01I'm gonna go and find this little maggot and end him.
18:14D.S. Savage.
18:15Come here.
18:18Come on.
18:20Detective.
18:21What now?
18:22I think the McQueen's have told Dodger about the lab.
18:25Look, we need to shut everything down.
18:27It's over.
18:28No.
18:28It's only over if you fail to eliminate the problem.
18:32Get rid of Prince of Jumbo.
18:41That guy sounded like an absolute weapon.
18:44Mm.
18:45He was.
18:47You know, the only thing that's actually big about you is your gob.
18:51And we wouldn't have it any other way, would we?
18:53No, thank you, darling.
18:55Don't let it get you down.
18:56Yeah, like that's gonna happen.
18:57See you later.
18:58Bye.
19:00Do you mean that you're okay with everything that happened at the casting?
19:04Yeah.
19:05Yeah, of course.
19:06I mean, maybe it was for the best.
19:08I...
19:10I don't wanna leave you just as we're getting to know each other.
19:14That's what I thought.
19:15And I'd miss you.
19:16Yeah.
19:18I just want what's best for you.
19:20I know you do.
19:23Right.
19:24I am gonna go to the letting agency and officially get the keys for the salon.
19:28See you later.
19:29See ya.
19:48Hello.
19:50Hi, erm, I'd like to get some weight loss jabs.
19:53As soon as possible.
20:01I'll see you later.
20:05Bye.
20:10Bye.
