00:00Thank you for listening.
00:30Oh!
00:31Oh!
00:45Peter!
00:54You all right, Priya?
00:56Lauren's not in there, is she? She's not picking up.
00:57No, she ain't in here. Door's still locked.
01:05What happened, lad? Did you turn it off?
01:07Yeah.
01:08Yeah, Peter, that's exactly what I did.
01:10I thought I'd come down in the middle of the night
01:11and I'd ruin all our food that we cannot afford.
01:14All right, well, maybe we can stick this in Gren's freezer
01:17before it goes off.
01:18Well, whoever that is, can you tell them to do one, please?
01:21Come in!
01:25All right, where's Lauren?
01:27In the kitchen.
01:28Louie, come on, mate.
01:29Lauren, you've got a problem.
01:30Yes, I know.
01:31No, that's the least of it.
01:33Police have just called.
01:35Some geezer walking this dog this morning in Essex
01:37found four burnt-out motors on a bit of waste ground.
01:40Four motors?
01:41Yeah.
01:42If you check the VIN numbers, trace them back to us.
01:44Well, you.
01:45None of our stock was touched.
01:47Police reckon it's kids joyriding arson.
01:50Oh, I don't believe this.
01:51Yeah, well, neither do I.
01:51Because kids go for hot hatches, don't they?
01:53Not mid-life crisis motors.
01:55And four motors getting burned.
01:58It's like a message, innit?
01:59What do you mean by that?
02:00Listen, I'm gonna ask you again, yeah?
02:02Them motors were kosher, weren't they?
02:03Yeah, of course they were.
02:04Haven't just ripped someone off
02:05who's looking for a bit of payback?
02:07No.
02:08What, you sure?
02:09Yes.
02:10To each hand, what?
02:11It's just bad luck, Lauren?
02:13Yes, Dad.
02:16It always seems to be following you around this morning, doesn't it?
02:52Yes, Dad.
02:53Yes, Dad.
02:58Yes, Dad.
02:59Yes, Dad.
03:02Yes, Dad.
03:04Yes, Dad.
03:06Anything from Lauren?
03:09It won't be long, though.
03:11Not if the look on Max's face just now
03:13was anything to go by.
03:15What's this?
03:16Second thoughts?
03:17No.
03:18No, of course not.
03:19Good.
03:19Good, because Russell's only given you
03:21to the end of the week, remember?
03:22Yeah, and you don't want him calling on Vicky again.
03:24I know.
03:26I know.
03:28Mrs Lauren's a mate, Sam.
03:31And this bet was her chance to prove herself, wasn't it?
03:33Well, she ain't lost it yet, has she?
03:36You know what they say.
03:37One door closes and another one opens.
03:40So, get hold of that mate of your sonny
03:42and tell him that you're back in the market
03:44for those motors of his.
03:46And what if she still don't go for it?
03:49Well, then both doors close and she gets nothing.
03:53She's on her way over.
03:55You'll only keep asking what I'm going to be doing
03:58in this man-keep-a-tola.
04:00Nutty.
04:01Hey.
04:02Hey.
04:03Patrick standing us with coffee and cakes.
04:05Oh, that's nice of him.
04:07Not you.
04:07It's for me and this guy.
04:09It's a thank you for the allotments in the shed.
04:13Don't miss out.
04:13Don't miss out.
04:13Come on.
04:15Yeah.
04:18He is, isn't he?
04:20He is what?
04:21Top.
04:23I can look on it.
04:24I can look.
04:25Well, that's just looking, is it?
04:26Because?
04:26Shut up.
04:28Talk to you later.
04:30So you see, I'm getting in a special rum
04:34and then a new set of Domino's.
04:36I can't wait.
04:38So it's just you, me, and Oscar then?
04:43Coffee, please.
04:44No rush.
04:45Sure.
04:47Yeah.
04:47All right, time to go.
04:48Time to go. Come on.
04:49Let's go.
04:50All right.
04:57Yeah.
04:58He'll come round.
04:59Sure.
05:01So you still don't want to tell him you helped out with the shed?
05:04No, I told you.
05:05I didn't do it for any thanks.
05:07Yeah.
05:07Anyway, I got my treat.
05:10Watching you get sweaty lifting those bags of soil.
05:12Well, if we can't go shed but you fancy a rerun,
05:17we could have a trip out somewhere.
05:19Talked to Lauren, Boromoto.
05:21Why don't we go to the seaside?
05:22Oh, I just want to get sweaty on some beach, yeah.
05:25Oh!
05:25Did somebody say beach?
05:27Uh, actually, mate, three may be a bit of a crowded area.
05:30No!
05:31Yeah, come.
05:31Please, all three of us.
05:34Yes.
05:39Yeah, they took all four of them.
05:41They didn't just take them, they torched them and all.
05:43I don't believe this.
05:45Did you tell any of your low-life mates about this?
05:47No, of course not.
05:49Well, what about the archers, then?
05:51Was there anyone, like, sniffing about?
05:52Paying a little bit of too much attention to them?
05:54No.
05:55This don't make any sense, does it?
05:58No.
06:00No, it don't.
06:03Unless...
06:04Me?
06:06Lauren, why would I torch motors that were going to make me some serious cash, eh?
06:09No.
06:09Maybe because them dodgy motors that you wanted me to sell, they would make a lot more, wouldn't they?
06:14So come on, tell me, where were you?
06:16Oh, please.
06:16Where were you last night?
06:18He was with me.
06:22All right, well, where were the both of you, then?
06:26What's that?
06:27It's a boozer in Hackney.
06:29Me, Mark, Phil, Grant, we ended up meeting some of Nigel's old mates.
06:33Turned into quite a sesh, actually.
06:36Lauren, if it were me, I think I'd be looking a little bit closer to home.
06:43What's that supposed to mean?
06:44Well, this time yesterday, your old man was looking at giving up half the business, wasn't he?
06:49No.
06:50No.
06:51Now he gets to keep the lot, cashing on the insurance, and, um...
06:55Well, it wouldn't be the first time he's pulled a stunt like this, would it?
06:59No, no way.
07:02And all it would take is a box of matches.
07:10Strong coffee, please.
07:15So, it's, uh...
07:17All a bit of a mess, isn't it?
07:19Yeah.
07:21Priya's sorting insurance out.
07:23So that's your idea of sorting it, is it?
07:25Filling out a claim form?
07:26No, well, I asked Lauren if anyone's got a grudge against her.
07:29Oh, don't tell me.
07:30Lauren said,
07:31No, Daddy.
07:33If you ask me, Max, it's your own fault for making this stupid bet in the first place.
07:37Well, I was just giving her a chance to prove herself, that's all.
07:41And now you've got four motors up in that big scrapyard in the sky.
07:47Still.
07:49She's not gonna win the bet now, is she?
07:51Nah, bet's off.
07:53I mean, cars get nicked all the time, don't they?
07:56It happens, it's bad luck.
07:58Lauren's already proved herself, as far as I'm concerned.
08:00Cheers.
08:03I want her to do this.
08:04I always have done.
08:05I don't want some chancer to snatch it away from her.
08:09And remind me, Cindy, what has any of this actually got to do with you?
08:15Remind me who has just moved in with you?
08:18Set up home with you?
08:21So let me get this straight, Max.
08:23You are gonna give away half your business to a kid who hasn't actually lifted a single finger to earn
08:30it.
08:37I'll be there in five minutes.
08:39Oh!
08:40The milk's leaked!
08:41It's all over the fridge!
08:43Make that tan, will you?
08:45I know he's an important supplier, just stall him.
08:48How can I help, love?
08:49Oh, can you just hold her?
08:51I'm gonna have to clean the fridge and then pump a whole new lot.
08:54I can hold her for you.
08:55I ain't got no meat in the go-to, or bottles of the sort.
09:00Yeah, I'll just take her with me.
09:03Oh, how's that gonna go down?
09:04Meeting a big shot with a baby screaming the place down?
09:07She'll probably be a C by the time we get there, won't you, darling?
09:10Come on.
09:11Here we go.
09:12There.
09:12That's good.
09:19Look, this...
09:20This ain't gonna take long, you know?
09:22Well, you can take as long as you want.
09:24But...
09:26It's better I take her with me.
09:35Oh, my... wow.
09:38Wow.
09:41I thought you were clearing up.
09:43I've hurt my back, though, and I...
09:47By moving a mop?
09:49No, not for moving a mop.
09:50For moving the freezer, trying to get behind it.
09:52Ugh.
09:52That's bad.
09:53Do you know what?
09:54I'll just do it myself.
09:55I'll do it myself.
09:56Right.
10:01It's all right, Lauren.
10:03Just seeing Jack.
10:04Just sorting out a crime number for the insurance.
10:06Wouldn't expect a payout any time soon, you know what they're like.
10:09I just wanna make sure none of us are involved.
10:11Well, I wasn't.
10:12Er, I need a favour.
10:14No, not now.
10:15Wait, me, Josh and Jasmine are having a run out to the beach or something?
10:17Not now, Oscar, not now!
10:18What?
10:19Move!
10:19Come on!
10:20What's he doing?
10:23In there.
10:28How about this one?
10:29No, I'll take this one.
10:31Cool.
10:31This is cute, isn't it?
10:32Yeah, very nice.
10:39Would you like to pay cash your card?
10:43Card.
10:50Sam, that was really risky earlier, you know.
10:53Showing Lauren photos from the other week.
10:56Well, what if she asks Phil and Grant about them?
10:57Well, they won't have a clue what she's talking about.
11:00Won't stop them backing me up, though, will it?
11:05Look, you just gotta let her go round the square, okay?
11:08Lashing out at everyone and anyone, and when she's done all that,
11:12what's she gonna be left with?
11:13One option.
11:14And only one.
11:17If it was anyone else...
11:19Well, it isn't.
11:20Right?
11:21So forget Lauren's feelings.
11:23This is your life we're talking about.
11:25This is the way out.
11:27And trust me, you really don't wanna mess with Russell.
11:31The way out of what?
11:40What are you doing?
11:42Um...
11:42Saving your boy's skin.
11:46What is this, some sort of a joke?
11:49I've got to ask Dad.
11:50What do you mean ask?
11:51You're more or less accusing me, Lauren.
11:53You have been getting more and more worried.
11:56Yeah, the closer I get to winning this bet, maybe I rattled you.
11:58Oh, do me a favour, Lauren.
12:00Everybody knows that you would do anything to get what you want.
12:06Right, fair enough.
12:08What?
12:09Is that you admitting it?
12:10No, no, no.
12:10Maybe some of that does make sense, yeah?
12:12Apart from one small, tiny little detail.
12:17That's our partnership agreement.
12:20It's all ready.
12:21To go to my brief.
12:22To be signed.
12:25I was always gonna give you half the business, Lauren.
12:26Why?
12:27Why would you do that?
12:28Well, because apart from one little bit of bad luck, you've done everything I hoped you
12:32would anymore, and this is the thanks I get.
12:34Yeah, great.
12:35Yeah, I'm trying to help you.
12:37Giving you the biggest leg up you've ever had in your life.
12:39Probably ever will have.
12:40What's that supposed to mean?
12:41Oh, come on, Lauren.
12:42You ain't exactly made a success of much up to now, have you?
12:45You know, maybe Cindy's right.
12:46I'm giving you all of this.
12:47You ain't really earned it.
12:48And there I am, just getting slagged off.
12:50So what?
12:51Am I some sort of charity case?
12:52Some stupid little kid that can't win a bet, so you just throw her a bone?
12:56Bone?
12:57It's quite a big bone, Lauren.
12:59I have been doing all of this to prove myself to you.
13:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course you have.
13:03Yeah, look how that's working out for you.
13:04Do you know what?
13:05I'm still gonna prove it.
13:07I'm gonna win this fair and square.
13:09The bet is still on.
13:16Those classic cars were meant to bring in money.
13:18Money Mark really needs right now.
13:20And you sent the whole lot up in smoke.
13:23Them motors were never gonna raise the kind of money that he needs.
13:27Well, better than the big fat nothing he's looking at now.
13:28Look, it was a bargaining chip, okay, to make Lauren see sense.
13:32You really think the old Bill aren't gonna take a serious look at this?
13:35So on top of everything else, he could be looking at a stretch inside.
13:38Yeah, and as would I.
13:40Which is why I made sure it could never be traced back to us.
13:43And I don't want you mentioning this to Phil, okay?
13:45Not this week.
13:46Not when he's got Nigel's funeral on his plate.
13:50Look, Mark's got one way out of this and that's all he's ever had since you got involved and made
13:54things ten times worse.
13:56I told you I will get Mark his money.
13:58Okay.
13:59How much have you raised, Grant?
14:02Yeah, I thought so.
14:04A big fat nothing.
14:09We used to play this game all the time.
14:11Yeah.
14:11Usually I slot you to.
14:13It's called BP, alright? Ball pots.
14:15You get a football, that's the B.
14:16We've got to get it into the pot.
14:17The P, yeah.
14:18Yes.
14:18Just a pretty face, Oscar.
14:22So it's like basketball only with a pot instead of a net.
14:26It's nothing like basketball.
14:28You throw the ball and if it hits the other player before hitting the ground.
14:30Point to me.
14:31Me more like.
14:32So it's dice ball.
14:33Yeah, but you can kick it.
14:34So it's football.
14:35And if I get it in the bucket.
14:37If I do, more like.
14:37No, I get an extra point.
14:39So, it's basketball too.
14:41Only the fastest on the ground and it's not a basket.
14:45It's a bucket.
14:47It's a bit complicated, ain't it?
14:49And about the net.
14:50There ain't a net.
14:50If the person comes over to your side, it's two extra points.
14:52And a penalty.
14:53Yeah, but the park wasn't the best place to play this.
14:55We really needed a big wide beach to play.
14:59In other words, she's bottling it.
15:01Do you know what?
15:01Do you know what?
15:02Game on.
15:03You can be the rat.
15:04I don't understand the rules.
15:06You warmed up, yeah?
15:07Yeah.
15:11Let's go!
15:12Right.
15:13Get ready to lose this game.
15:14Oh!
15:15Right.
15:21Well?
15:23I spoke to my dad.
15:25What Sam said, it...
15:27it weren't him.
15:29Not because he said so, Lauren.
15:31No.
15:32Because he offered me half the business anyway.
15:35What happened was just bad luck, he reckon.
15:40Well, I'm pleased for you.
15:42You deserve it.
15:44No, I don't.
15:46That's why I said no.
15:48I want to earn this.
15:50I need to earn it.
15:51I don't want it just handed to me.
15:55So now what then?
16:02Problem?
16:03No, it's just...
16:11Bad news travels fast then, eh?
16:14Your mate with the dodgy motors,
16:15he's heard you down on your luck.
16:18I'm gonna have to make this up somehow,
16:20don't I?
16:21But whatever I do,
16:22I will do it
16:23well away from the car lot, okay?
16:27I've got no choice, Lauren.
16:30I need money too.
16:45So Nicola's kicked you out then, or what?
16:49Well, you were sitting here over an hour ago,
16:52and you're still sitting here now.
16:54We're taking a time out?
16:56After a meeting?
16:58It's time out from him.
17:03Look...
17:05Mum has filled me in.
17:10You want to do right by him,
17:11even if he ain't done right by you.
17:16Look where that has got you.
17:18You're sitting on a bench,
17:19when you look ten seconds away.
17:21Yeah, wait.
17:23It's a bit harder than I thought we'd be.
17:25It was always gonna be,
17:26and it has happened so quick.
17:29Yeah, but Nicci was right,
17:29what she said was right.
17:30If we were gonna make it happen,
17:33we had to be quick.
17:35So this wasn't your idea at all?
17:39Right.
17:40Anyway,
17:41Nigel's funeral this week, so...
17:43Exactly!
17:44You don't need this on top!
17:48Dad, I'm really worried about you.
18:04Has he croaked yet?
18:07Right, well then,
18:08just leave this here then.
18:11And what is it?
18:12It's a little outfit for Ivy.
18:14I was gonna bring it round,
18:15see what she looks like in it.
18:17But I absolutely will not set foot in there
18:19while he's around.
18:20I am just trying to support George here,
18:23alright? That is all.
18:24What?
18:24By watching him make one of the biggest mistakes
18:26of his life?
18:28That's good of you.
18:32I mean...
18:32What was that about why you said that to her?
18:35Believe me darling,
18:36I could say a lot worse.
18:50It was you.
18:51What are you gonna...
18:51Ah!
18:54Ah!
18:55You were on my side!
18:56What?
18:56You were on my side.
18:57No!
18:57Your foot was on my side.
18:58No it wasn't!
18:59Brad!
19:00I...
19:01I mean I quit.
19:02You can't!
19:04You can't!
19:05That's two points to me and a penalty.
19:07Now you're on my side.
19:08What?
19:08Yeah, because you were on my side first Josh.
19:10Give me the ball.
19:10No, no, no.
19:11Give me the ball man!
19:12Come and get it!
19:14Oh!
19:15So you're on his side now?
19:18What?
19:18Oh no, it's cool.
19:19I'm just gonna have to take you both down.
19:21Well you're mad.
19:22No, come on.
19:22The pair of you!
19:23No!
19:24Come here!
19:24Leave me alone!
19:25I'm there!
19:25Jasmine, I told you!
19:26Oh!
19:28Come here, come here.
19:29Come here, come here.
19:31Come here, come here.
19:32Come here, come here.
19:33Come here, come here.
19:50Mmm!
19:51She still ain't going for it.
19:53She will.
19:55I told you, if she wants to win the bet.
19:56She don't need to win no bet, Sam.
19:59Max is giving her half the business anyway.
20:02What?
20:04Why?
20:06Feel sorry for her, I suppose.
20:08She said she's not gonna take it, but...
20:11maybe after a couple days.
20:20It's Russell.
20:22I need to go and see him and just tell him straight that I can't do this and I need
20:26more time.
20:26Well, you might as well paint a big bullseye on your back.
20:28Well, it's better than painting it on Vicks, innit?
20:30Because if I don't do something, he's gonna go after her.
20:34Mark, Mark.
20:35Just slow down.
20:36Okay?
20:38Don't do anything rash.
20:43So much for being a criminal mastermind, eh?
20:46Yeah, well...
20:48At least it didn't double what he has to pay.
20:58Give me some good news.
21:01What?
21:02They're having a laugh, aren't they?
21:05No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
21:07I'll take it.
21:08But I need it by tomorrow.
21:09Well?
21:11Who won?
21:13I told you, you didn't understand the rules.
21:16Oh!
21:17Simple question, then.
21:20Him or me?
21:21Who'd you like more?
21:22Mm-hm.
21:27Tresby.
21:29It's just because she's your girlfriend.
21:30That's not proper winning.
21:32Who cares?
21:33I still get my prize.
21:34Ice cream with extra chocolate sauce.
21:36Mm-mm.
21:36That's it?
21:37She's done all this for a small cornetto?
21:39Yeah, I mean, actually, it's fish and chips now.
21:42She'll be on a pier, but there's a good chip here in the Albert Square, so...
21:46Oh, you...you played this after I left?
21:48Mm-mm.
21:50I just...I thought it was our game.
21:52Like, me and me and me.
21:52You played it with Sandra, too, yeah?
21:56It's just a game.
21:58It doesn't mean nothing.
21:59You know, the world didn't stop turning just because, you know, you...
22:05Yeah, yeah, you're right.
22:07Um, sorry, ignore me.
22:08I'm just...I'm just being stupid.
22:09No, I didn't mean it like that.
22:10I'd better get back, actually.
22:11Sorry.
22:11No, stop. Jasmine.
22:12Jasmine.
22:13It's cool.
22:13It's cool. I'm good. It's cool.
22:14You're all right.
22:27We really can't catch a break in a minute, can we?
22:30What's this?
22:31That is the form that I filled in for the DWP for Jimmy.
22:36Oh, the carer's allowance?
22:37Yeah.
22:38Lauren, I did everything that they asked me to do.
22:39I put the stool down as my first job, and I put the PT down as my second job, and
22:43I...
22:44Which I might not even be able to do PT enough.
22:46What's the problem, Peter?
22:49They've told me that what I'm earning right now is putting me over the threshold.
22:53Which is...which is a joke, because it's peanuts.
22:56It's nothing.
22:57Stopping the allowance.
23:00Oh, and the nursery called about Jimmy's place as well.
23:03They didn't say it in this many words, but basically, if we can't afford it, there's...
23:07There's plenty of parents that can.
23:09Plenty of parents that can, yeah.
23:12Look, we can't ask my dad for help.
23:14He's already up against any, but...
23:17Could we ask Max?
23:18No.
23:19Lauren, this is for Jimmy.
23:21He did always say that he would help us out with fees, didn't he?
23:24And only until we can catch up.
23:26I'm gonna win my bet.
23:27When I do, I'll be partner.
23:30So...
23:31We won't have to ask my dad for nothing.
23:34I'm just gonna finish up some paperwork.
23:38The funny thing was, it was literally the first place we went to school.
23:42We've just got the moms visiting with other places, but we just kept...
23:56Well, Dad's blanking my calls now.
23:59Well, this can't go on for much longer, can it?
24:02The man is, like, seriously ill.
24:03It's not even like he's faking it.
24:04I wouldn't put it past him, though.
24:07You know, of course he ain't.
24:10But you didn't see my dad earlier on.
24:12I mean, what's he gonna be like in another week?
24:15Or month?
24:16He thinks that this is just gonna solve everything, but it's...
24:19It's opening up old wounds.
24:21Yeah, but you can't kick him out.
24:22Can I?
24:23You can't kick him out.
24:25But one phone call.
24:28I mean, that's all it's gonna take.
24:30One call to the prison.
24:32Let them know what's really going on.
24:35He ain't allowed to live with my dad.
24:37He'd be back in the nick in no time.
24:42Yeah, but...
24:43George has got Nigel's funeral day after tomorrow.
24:45Okay, we all do.
24:46Do you really wanna open up a can of worms, like, right now?
24:51No.
24:52No.
24:55But once the funeral's out of the way.
25:06I'm an idiot.
25:08Not anyway.
25:10She knows what she's doing.
25:12It's the same as me.
25:14She's trying to be all cool and calm about things.
25:17Even yesterday, at the allotment,
25:20it's just not cool and calm, not deep down.
25:23And me saying something like that, it's like...
25:26Yeah, but you didn't know.
25:27I did.
25:28It's the same for me.
25:30My mum...
25:31She was trying to help.
25:33Like, like, trying to take my mind off things
25:34after Jasmine left, and then...
25:37Yeah, Jasmine is right.
25:38That game is ours,
25:40and no one else's never really gets hit.
25:44Why are things always so complicated?
25:48Hey.
25:49Hey.
25:53Hey.
25:59Maybe I'd better go.
26:02Yeah.
26:03Maybe that's best.
26:07Don't wanna make things even more complicated, do we?
26:13Definitely not.
26:19There it is.
26:39Can I join you?
26:55No, we can still do this, Mark.
27:08Can we?
27:11We're a team.
27:13No, we can still do this, Mark.
27:14We're a good team.
27:16So that mate of yours, his cars...
27:19All right, I, er...
27:21Is it still on offer?
27:26You see, I could have one by tomorrow.
27:32But I don't think that this is, er...
27:34No.
27:35No bucks.
27:38Not anymore.
27:40Just call him.
27:48You sure about this?
27:49We're not beating yet, Mark.
27:52Call him now.
27:57Up to now.
28:07You are...
28:09What are they going there?
28:20No.
28:21Here's my fly, okay.
28:22If I saw my size off...
28:22Yeah.
28:23After all seven times, I love to hear that.
