00:00Mum, I'm telling you, he's gone mad.
00:01It's because of confiscating his phone.
00:03Your son has been putting up videos about misogynistic rubbish to young men.
00:07Lucas has been hitting me for months.
00:09I'm scared a bit.
00:10My own son.
00:12The last thing I want to do is a job with a woman that I hate.
00:15But I need to get Mercedes that morning.
00:17What are you saying?
00:18We're on.
00:19Lucas has sold me, he punched me to the ground.
00:21He's violent and he needs help.
00:23Tell him the truth, Dad. Tell him what happened.
00:25Okay, Lucas, hey?
00:26I'm arresting you on suspicion of ADH on Rex Gallagher.
01:10Thank God it's nearly the holidays.
01:15With the kids jingle belling and everyone telling you be a good cheer.
01:22Mercedes, what are those bells?
01:24They've got headache.
01:25That's all.
01:40I've got a visiting order.
01:42Lucas, what do you think he wants?
01:57Oi, I'm trusting you, so don't let me down.
02:01Oh, sweet.
02:04Look, my dad's meeting some of our associates at a laugh later.
02:08There's people we like to do business with.
02:09I'm just wondering if we're...
02:10Listen, Sally.
02:12Now, you and Froggy can do whatever you want.
02:15Just leave me out of it.
02:17Mercedes.
02:19Mercedes, will you just talk to me?
02:20I don't want to talk to you, Warren.
02:22I have been there.
02:23Look, I had liver disease.
02:25I nearly died from taking those tablets.
02:26Yes, well, you'd think you'd understand.
02:28I've got to raise 50K in less than 24 hours.
02:31All the police are banging at my door.
02:34And I have told you, I will sort it.
02:36But you need to stop taking those pills.
02:38Who'd you even get them off anyway?
02:40What?
02:40Well, I wish that you were this concerned
02:43when you were dishing out drugs that killed our hunter.
02:48Wow.
02:49I love a domestic first thing in the morning.
02:55Are we still on for today?
02:57Yeah, of course.
02:59Everything's in place.
03:03You can't seriously be thinking of going?
03:05Of course I am.
03:06My son hurt himself because he heard us sleeping together.
03:09Then when he was pleading for help with the police,
03:11what did I?
03:12I just stood there and didn't say anything.
03:13What kind of dad does that?
03:14I can't.
03:15It's been black and blue for months on.
03:17I haven't even got any cover.
03:18Someone had to close this off, did I?
03:19Then what you've told me, Steve,
03:20there's nothing you could have said
03:21that would have stopped him getting arrested.
03:25Lucas might have finally get the help he needs in there.
03:27And me and you...
03:29might finally have a chance of building something real out here.
03:32Lucas is where he needs to be.
03:34You don't need to feel guilty about that.
03:36Dylan's right.
03:37You don't need to feel guilty.
03:38And you can get out right now.
03:39You betrayed me, Rex.
03:41I told you I can fix it.
03:42I'm sorry, OK, but it's time that you focused on you and your future.
03:49So, basically, everyone in school thinks your dad is, like, indestructible.
03:53We're going to be late, Trina.
03:54I mean, first he dodged a plane crash,
03:56then he got shot by some random,
03:58and then he had a heart attack.
03:59Well, he had a stroke.
04:00Yeah, one of them, too.
04:02And he's still slaying.
04:04He's so handsome.
04:05All right, time to go.
04:07Come on.
04:09Catch you guys up in a bit, yeah?
04:10Just because you're in your feels about some random lad,
04:12just don't step in the way of true love.
04:16Bye, Ant.
04:18And I've got delivery coming at three o'clock today,
04:20so I've got a great air to take it in.
04:21Steve, I think it's the least that you could do.
04:23But please, just keep your distance from it, OK?
04:26Lucas needs me.
04:27I'm his dad, and I'm going to do everything I can to help him.
04:31Everything all right with you and Mercedes?
04:33Mind your own business.
04:34All I need to know from you is we're all sorted for later,
04:36and you're not going to try and screw me over again.
04:40I said I'm sorry.
04:41I didn't mean to hurt you.
04:43Don't flatter yourself.
04:44And don't think I've forgotten
04:45what you and that long-haired PCP tried to do to me.
04:48I just want to make things right between us.
04:49That's why I told you about the job.
04:51But if you don't trust me, I understand.
04:53I'm sure you'll find another way to help Mercedes.
04:56Wait.
05:01Won't we through the plan again?
05:04This lad came into A&E after things got her in a job.
05:06That's when he told me about this massive Christmas order coming in today.
05:09The juror?
05:10They're going to rob the driver.
05:11We're going to rob them.
05:12The driver is so predictable.
05:14Has lunch at the same time in the same lay-by.
05:17They're going to rush him, tie him up,
05:19chuck him in the back of the van,
05:20and drive to that quiet industrial park off the motorway.
05:22There were two getaway vans waiting for them.
05:24Then, at 3 p.m., when they're finished loading,
05:26we'll sneak in and then drive off with all the gear in the back.
05:29Just like that.
05:30They're going to load a van full of stolen gear,
05:32and we're just going to stroll up and drive off with it.
05:34I've known the boss, Alan, for a while now.
05:35He hasn't got two brain cells to rub together.
05:37Keys and the ignition every single time.
05:40Then, we trade it in for money with my contact later today.
05:42I hope you're right, because Mercedes needs that money.
05:44She'll get it.
05:45Stop worrying.
05:47I'm not worried.
05:49But you should be if you ever try and have me over again.
05:57Here we are!
06:01Hello?
06:02I'm going to go.
06:03Oh, yeah, I left for school this morning.
06:05Oh, no, actually, you know what?
06:06I think he, um, he might be in bed.
06:08He does have a bit of a dodgy tummy.
06:09Can I bring you back?
06:12Yeah, thanks.
06:14Our aunt has skived off school.
06:15I'll have to go and find him.
06:16Can you watch him for a bit?
06:17Oh, I've got to get to Cassie.
06:19Well, I wouldn't ask if I had another option.
06:23Of course.
06:25Thanks.
06:37So Warren's definitely in?
06:39All right, good.
06:40See you.
06:41I will be there.
06:44Right, you're off, too.
06:47I'm taking my Vicky shopping.
06:48Yeah, I'll have to wait.
06:50I need backup.
06:51We'll find someone else.
06:52She's already in talent.
06:54You know, uh, me and Griff used to go Christmas shopping.
07:00Oh.
07:01It'll take a Christmas miracle, but that's happened this year, won't it?
07:05I've just had a tip-off.
07:06Some scally's come into possession of a van full of fancy watches that don't belong to it.
07:11We need to stay in my office house.
07:17Well, come on, D.O. Clark.
07:19Bad guys aren't going to catch themselves, are they?
07:24We've all been there.
07:25Just remember, if she's a chopped, it's definitely not a win.
07:28So where does she belong?
07:30In the bid!
07:31In the bid!
07:31In the bid!
07:32In the bid!
07:32Yeah, and that's exactly where this is going.
07:35What are you doing?
07:36Or am I doing?
07:36Do you know what?
07:37I trusted you and you've let me down again.
07:39I've got ways of content to catch up on.
07:41Mum, please don't take my phone.
07:42Get your backside to school now.
07:44No!
07:58Hey.
08:07So how you getting on?
08:10I'm the youngest person on the wing, Dad.
08:13I'm eating and sleeping.
08:15It's a drug addict and murderers.
08:16How do you think it's going?
08:18Have the staff been looking after you?
08:21Have they offered you any mental health support?
08:24Why didn't you stick up for me?
08:26What, you mean lie for you?
08:28Because you attacked Rex?
08:30I was upset.
08:31I didn't mean it.
08:33Didn't you?
08:34What about everything else you've done, Lucas?
08:36To me?
08:38In our flat?
08:39In the hutch?
08:41Look, I hate myself.
08:43But being in here isn't going to help.
08:48Look, it's only a matter of time.
08:50It's all you supposed to get back into my head, Dad.
08:54And we'll call him in a couple of days.
08:56I need you just to help me get out.
08:59All I'm supposed to do is hold to the police.
09:02All right, tell them that Rex made it all up.
09:04You're my only hope, Dad.
09:11Mercedes.
09:15I need...
09:16I need the toilet.
09:32Mercedes.
09:47So I found our answer to the par. I swear he is not getting his phone back.
09:53Tony? What's happened? Wake up! Tony, are you OK?
10:00Hey! Oh my goodness, come here! Wake up!
10:05Wake up! Get yourself a cow, yeah? You take me back for five minutes and you're there, flat on your
10:10back as usual.
10:12Are you OK? Do us a favour, right? Get out of this house!
10:16Please. Oh my... Come on.
10:20I know I've got terrible things. Just get me out and that will change. Dad, I need to get out
10:25now.
10:26Cos if I don't get home, I'm gonna lose Dylan. Dylan?
10:30Somebody out there is trying to take him away from me. He said he loves somebody else.
10:33And every second that I'm in here... Guys, you two aren't together anymore.
10:38Look, he says that now. OK, but I should be a better boyfriend, I know that.
10:42Dylan, he's confused. He wants to move on, so you need to accept that.
10:46No, this is what we do. All right, we break up, we get back together. He just needs to hear
10:49you say that, I'm fine.
10:50He's scared of you. He is. All the text messages. All the harassing.
10:55You do realise what you've been doing isn't... I haven't done anything wrong!
10:59Yes, you have. To Rex, to Dylan, to me. And you need to admit it.
11:07I only came here today to tell you that I love you. You don't know.
11:10And I always will, but you need professional help. And you're not gonna get that help until you can face
11:14up to the things that you've done.
11:15No, shut up! Right, you did this to me! You don't wanna see me out because you made me the
11:20way that I am!
11:21You made me this way! Just get off me, man!
11:27Please be calm. Are ya? Where are ya?
11:31Mercedes, I'm at work. No, I need to see ya.
11:36I'm still waiting to bed. All right, I need ya.
11:39Yeah, I'll call you back.
11:42Baby mama checking up on ya? Something like that.
11:44I'm gonna say it is down as the baggies.
11:46Keep it moving. Keep it moving. Come on. Come on. We're nearly there.
11:50Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
11:52Go, go, go, go, go.
11:53What's right, we're game on. It's time to go. Let's do this.
11:55Told ya. Easy.
12:02I said you did tell me they had shooters.
12:06You can leave your assignments on my desk, please.
12:10Then you can make your way out quietly like young adults and not farmyard animals.
12:14You can't even sky properly. The park.
12:17Well, I thought it was mad brave.
12:19If my mum found out that I was skipping school, she would crucify me.
12:22She's got a GPS thing. She knows where I am at all times.
12:25Ever gonna get my phone back, am I?
12:26I mean, I'd let you borrow mine, but it's locked. It's on a timer.
12:29My mum thinks that it's gonna rot my mind and make me a slave to the system.
12:33What?
12:33But it works after school.
12:35So maybe we could meet up tomorrow and go on like a date, not just hanging out like a date
12:41date.
12:41Yeah, yeah. Guess so.
12:48Your brother is proper fit.
12:55You know she's dated like loads of guys. Can't wait for the whole year to hear how you measure up.
13:00If only you had your phone so you could research what to do.
13:06Assignment on my desk, please. There you go.
13:11Oh, such pride in one's work. We really love to see it.
13:26We're gonna be okay. Trust me.
13:28Trust you? You're a liability.
13:31I'll find another way to get Mercedes some money.
13:34Coach, why have you been scared of a couple of shooters?
13:37It's not the shooters I'm worried about.
13:39It makes me think you don't care any more.
13:42How can I help you?
13:45Quite too odd.
13:47If that's what you want.
13:50Turn round.
13:57Gemma.
13:59Well, I haven't to.
14:01What are the chances?
14:01You're meant to go out. You never turned up, I thought.
14:05You thought she liked you.
14:12Yeah.
14:13That's what I thought.
14:20Oh, alright boys.
14:22Come on, put your hands up. It's a robbery.
14:23So we're gonna take the jewellery from here.
14:25Deliver the presents on your behalf.
14:28Okay.
14:30Easy tiger.
14:38Get to the van! Go! Go! Go!
14:41Check in the van!
14:42Get out of here!
14:51What are you doing?
14:52Let's go after the other van.
14:54No need.
14:55We got everything we came for.
15:02You have to make sure women know you're the one in control.
15:05They don't know what they want most of the time.
15:07So it's up to you to show them.
15:09Be firm. Be strong.
15:11Make sure your needs are met.
15:13It's a man's world.
15:14Make sure they know that.
15:15Check this out.
15:25I wanna go.
15:27He wanted me to go to the police to back him up.
15:31But I couldn't.
15:34Did the right thing.
15:37He blames me.
15:38You're not responsible for Lucas's actions.
15:41Who is, Rex?
15:41He's been manipulating you for far too long, alright?
15:43The boy's bad news.
15:45He's angry.
15:45He's dangerous.
15:46He needs to be looked away.
15:47I don't let you meet on dangerous people.
15:49When most your family should be behind bars.
15:52I stayed quiet.
15:55When really, I should've just...
15:56What?
15:56Lied for him.
15:58I supported him.
16:01He's never gonna forgive me.
16:04Just leave me be, please.
16:07No, I said get out, Rex.
16:19Rex, I told you to leave me alone.
16:21It's me.
16:24I can't listen to any more attacks on Lucas.
16:26I'm not here for that.
16:28I'm here for you.
16:32You should've seen him, Dylan.
16:35Sat there.
16:36All lost.
16:38The next minute it's full of hate.
16:40And he gets violent.
16:41And I could've put a stop to this.
16:43And I didn't.
16:44He abused you.
16:46Made you think it was your fault.
16:47Yeah.
16:48And now I've got no one.
16:51No Leah.
16:54No Lucas.
16:55The baby's been taken from me.
16:58And I betrayed my son.
17:01In the worst way possible.
17:03By getting with you.
17:06The man that he loves.
17:09Well, the man that he loves doesn't love him back.
17:12He loves you.
17:18You're not alone, Steve.
17:20I'm here.
17:22For Christmas.
17:25And as long as you want me.
17:37It's...
17:44That was funny.
17:45My adrenaline's pumping.
17:47I know what a rush, eh?
17:48I told you it was gonna be easy.
17:49I know, you did.
17:49We make a good team.
17:51Yeah, we do.
17:57I'm not in the habit of doing the same job twice.
18:00Why are you back with a Mercedes, then?
18:03Simple.
18:04She's the endgame.
18:07Lucky girl.
18:10So this is why you've not been answering my calls.
18:14You...
18:15You just wanna help yourself, could you?
18:16How well feel we gonna get you off the whole game?
18:18What would you promise me?
18:19I've just risked my life to get you that 50k, but nothing is ever good enough.
18:23I didn't ask you to, and I didn't want you to.
18:28And you, you knew that I didn't wanna get him involved.
18:32Hang on, it's got nothing to do with Gemma.
18:34I went to her and I told her I wanted to do the job to get you the 50 grand.
18:44Mercedes, it's over now.
18:47I...
18:47I just...
18:48I just wanna help.
18:50Yeah?
18:52Then I'm gonna need some more.
18:54Okay.
18:55Come on.
19:05Well done, lads.
19:06Oh, don't look at me.
19:08Is the air cloth cool?
19:08Ah.
19:11Good work, Danny.
19:13Thanks.
19:16Hey.
19:18Why'd you give me the credit?
19:19It was your tip-off.
19:21I'm all about sharing the love.
19:22Speaking of which...
19:25What's this?
19:26Your cut.
19:27My cut for what?
19:28Letting the other van get away.
19:32For a minute.
19:33I was just...
19:34There's a new job.
19:35With that in your hand.
19:40Ah.
19:41Now you've been good at keeping quiet.
19:42And your new boss wanted to stay that way.
19:47Merry Christmas.
19:48There you go, Miss Fogyourine.
19:49Emma!
20:15Let me tell you how to do it for you.
20:17It looks fabulous.
20:18It looks fabulous.
20:18This night was, um, surprising.
20:21It was beautiful, Miss.
20:22You are beautiful.
20:24You were pretty queen of New York City
20:27When the band finished playing
20:29They held up for more
20:30So now she was swinging
20:32All the tunes they were singing
20:33We kissed on a corner
20:35Then danced through the night
20:36The boys of the end
20:38Like peony choir
20:39We're singing
20:40We're going by
20:42And the bells are ringing out
20:45For Christmas Day
20:52We need to arrange that drop-off
20:54Yeah
20:57Okay
20:57Only I'm the one who's going to do it
20:59Do you have any idea how serious this is?
21:08Do you?
21:09I'm not talking about detention
21:11I've got every right to go to the police
21:15Diane!
21:16Diane!
21:17Oh, screw this!
21:18Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
21:20What's going on?
21:21You okay?
21:22Not really, no
21:24He stole my phone
21:25Listen, he will be punished
21:27Honestly, I am at the end of me tether with him
21:29Maybe I cannot
21:29No?
21:30I still blame you for getting in his head with all those stupid videos
21:33Yeah, I know
21:34Let me try and put things right
21:40So, yesterday
21:41So, yesterday
21:42Sally said it went smoothly
21:44And it issues your end
21:46Nothing I couldn't handle
21:47Thanks to Warren being there
21:49I still would have rather you went with one of the usual guys
21:53I've seen the way you look at him, Gem
21:56It wouldn't do to let Warren become a distraction
21:59Like I said
22:00Nothing I can't handle
22:02Good
22:02Because as per your wishes
22:05Donnie is now even deeper in Sally's pockets
22:07Thanks to our little earner
22:10And our pockets
22:11Are full at a boot
22:14Two birds and all that
22:19You're meant to hate Donnie, Gemma
22:24I wanted to hurt my dad
22:25And part of me still does
22:27But living with him
22:30I'm seeing a side to Donnie that I like
22:32A flicker of the man that raised me
22:34And I'm seeing how much he's struggling
22:36But I don't relish it like I thought I would
22:39Donnie Clark is still the Mick Johnson I knew
22:42The father
22:43Careful
22:46Some people don't just hurt you
22:48They break what matters most
22:51Donnie did that to both of us
22:53And once that's done
22:55It can't be fixed
22:56It can't be forgiven
23:01No
23:02Look, I only did the job with Gemma to save you
23:05Warren, this is my mess
23:07Let me finish it, yeah?
23:08It's already sorted
23:09You are not getting involved
23:11I'm gonna deal with it
23:21Hey
23:23I'm gonna find out who it is who's blackmailing you
23:25And I am gonna shut him down for good
23:27I promise you
23:29Come here
23:34It's a moment
23:36It's a super shiny moment
23:40Where did you stay last night?
23:42Just tell me, Dylan
23:44It's none of your business, actually
23:46Just spill, please
23:46Have lipstick
23:47Stop here
23:48Oh, erm
23:49Do you want some brunch?
23:51I was just gonna make some
23:51Yeah, me and Miz will have a bite
23:53Especially after the appetite
23:54When you've just worked up
23:55Oh, Dad, that's disgusting
23:57That is my cue to leave
24:03The place is falling apart
24:11Who's this?
24:12Don't look at me
24:14Really?
24:15I'd be happy to take it off your hands
24:16But I didn't put it there
24:20Wait, er
24:21Isn't that the money that he was telling me about, Dad?
24:23You said you had, erm, a windfall
24:25Oh, and the dogs, yeah, of course
24:28I had a flood of hammers
24:29And, er, the reason why I stashed it away
24:32Is because I wanted to surprise you with something special
24:34You were gambling?
24:36Yeah, I'm sorry, babe
24:37One of the guys at work, it was his birthday
24:38He wouldn't shut up about it the other day
24:40But don't let him hoard it
24:41Lunch is on make
24:43Absolutely
24:43Miz, Vicky
24:44Yeah, yeah, I would
24:46Just let me throw some clothes on
24:51Hey
24:52Can't believe Lucas has been arrested
24:54I know, sounds like a right, miss
24:56Hey
24:58That money
24:59It doesn't matter
25:00Just make things okay with Mizpah, right?
25:03Yeah
25:04Good, thanks
25:11I can't believe I'm spending my lunch hour doing this
25:15My mum can take my phone like I'm just
25:17Mate
25:18Shouting won't get it back
25:20Breathe
25:20Take your time
25:22Come on, let's go again
25:25Let's have it
25:27But you
25:30You stopped
25:32After the videos
25:34After what you were saying
25:36After what you believed
25:37About women
25:40Life
25:40My lot told me to stop, you know that
25:42And they were right
25:44They raised me
25:45Shaped me
25:46And they don't often steer me wrong, mate
25:48And Lita by the way too
25:50And I'm glad she did
25:50I needed it
25:52Come on
25:53Let's go again
25:57It feels better
25:59Saying it
26:00I'm hitting it
26:02Yeah
26:02It does
26:05And it's a start
26:09You control it
26:10Don't let it control you
26:12But soon enough
26:13Good things happen
26:16Come on
26:35Frankie
26:39Hey
26:42Listen
26:44JJ's ashes
26:46Have arrived
26:47And I was thinking
26:48Maybe
26:51Hey
26:52You okay
26:54Yeah, I'm fine
27:00So
27:01Bad
27:02Going like that
27:03A lot must be changing
27:05Let's hope
27:06All of ours is
27:07Drink or not
27:08Cheers
27:09Family
27:13I'm glad to see your family
27:15Could
27:16Tie you down
27:17Donnie
27:19You're normally so swamped with work
27:20Just leave it to EMP, sir
27:22Of course
27:23Yeah, yeah
27:23Just saying hello to a mate
27:26How you doing?
27:27I said leave it
27:28Dad
27:28That's cool
27:29That's cool
27:30Yesterday was a mad one
27:33Trying to switch off
27:35I'll leave you to enjoy your meal
27:39Got a good man here
27:40Get the hell out of here
27:41Get out
27:51Donnie
27:52What's going on?
28:05I said you got proper toll
28:06Stealing Mr McQueen's phone
28:07I mean, it was pretty stupid
28:09But it was kind of cool
28:10I mean, I got away with it really
28:12I work out with a mate during lunch break
28:14Is hardly a punishment, is it?
28:15Er, I thought you were with Prince
28:17Yeah, I was
28:18But now I'm with Trina
28:19Well, you should've gone straight back to school
28:21I've got to go home to get changed for lessons, haven't I?
28:24Plus, you're kind of cramping my style
28:26What, you used to get there?
28:27I mean, we do have a date later
28:28Well, I bet you Dee Dee's thrilled that her best mate's seeing her brother
28:32Well, I suppose you could be doing a lot worse
28:34Listen, just be sensible, yeah, and no detours, I mean it
28:37Yeah, whatever
28:38Of course
28:39Yeah, get to school
28:45Sorry
28:46Any luck?
28:48No, not yet
28:49Why?
28:50Why didn't you just let me do it?
28:52Merce, look at the state here
28:53What?
28:54Those pills, they're not helping you
28:56I know
28:57Are you gonna stop?
28:59I will
29:00Today
29:01Yeah, today
29:02Promise
29:11I love you
29:12I love you
29:15I'll see you at home
29:36So
29:39What is it with this Sully?
29:41Just a work thing
29:43It's fine
29:44No, it's not
29:47Is it the froggy connection?
29:50The fact he's close with Gemma?
29:57I want to be the person you talk to, Donny, but I'm done with the excuses and lies
30:04I've really tried
30:07I've let Gemma move in
30:09I've been intimate with you
30:11I've been patient with you, but we're on a cycle
30:15And if it doesn't stop, then
30:19We need to stop
30:22Hey
30:24Last night
30:26This morning
30:28The intimacy you talk of
30:30It proves that what we've got is worth fighting for, yeah?
30:34I thought that was us finding each other again
30:39I felt wanted
30:43But now I feel
30:47Used
30:49And disrespected
30:53You don't know how crushing this is for me, do you?
30:56I mean, you let my daughter move into a home that we share together
31:00And what?
31:01I'm meant to be grateful?
31:02I didn't know who you were
31:03No, no
31:04No, let's scrap that
31:05I don't know who you are
31:07I'm a man
31:08I'm a father
31:09I'm your partner
31:10You want to talk
31:11I want to forget
31:12Look, Liz
31:13I have needs
31:15And I expect you to meet them
31:19Oh, I was wrong
31:21You've just showed me exactly what you are
31:25But you've lost all sense of who I am
31:48I thought the money's straight into the bank so Tony wrote now
31:51Look, just think of this money as collateral for all the changes that you've had to make
31:54And it'll help with him not working
31:56Just call it compensation
31:58This isn't me!
31:59You know, blackmail, interception, I don't do things like this
32:01Oh, you just did
32:02I know
32:03You want justice for Tony
32:04I want Warren back
32:05We want Mercedes to suffer
32:07You and me, Diane
32:08We win
32:09Doesn't feel like we're winning
32:10Maybe not
32:11But when you had that money in your hand, did it feel like 50 grand?
32:16Are you seriously in this for Warren Fox?
32:19The heart wants what it wants
32:22And a broken heart will do whatever it takes to get it
32:24What Mercedes did can't be fixed
32:26It can't
32:29It can't be forgiven
32:32You must have knocked something over
32:34I'll come, we'll check up on him
32:35So, how many girls have you kissed?
32:38Enough
32:40No complaints yet
32:41You?
32:43Girls
32:43A few
32:45Boys
32:47Not enough
32:48Yeah
32:53Hey, it's okay
32:54Just follow my lead
33:11Ow!
33:13What was that?
33:14Well, you don't like it rough?
33:15No, not really
33:16Forget it then
33:17You're all over the place anyway
33:19Seriously
33:20This isn't some dirty movie, you know
33:22What?
33:23What is wrong with you?
33:24Me?
33:25You're the one that's sending me mixed signals and messing with my head
33:28You know what?
33:28Dee Dee was right about you
33:30You're a weirdo
33:33Don't call me
33:36Thanks for that
33:38You silly little slut
33:44I'll go see if she's okay
33:48Aunt?
33:48Never use language like that
34:00I've seen Charlie have taken the kids to the pictures
34:03And Jack and Pearl have gone to her sisters
34:07Thought it could give you some space
34:09You know
34:10You know
34:10To
34:11To grieve
34:13To be angry
34:15Or happy
34:17Or however it is you wanna feel
34:20Truth is, I don't know how to feel myself at all
34:23Maybe that's because you're not sure how you're allowed to feel
34:30You really have grown up, haven't you?
34:32I'm trying to
34:35Dad, there's something that I need to tell
34:39I'll get it
34:48Hey
34:51I'm sorry again for your loss, mate
34:52Oh, yeah
34:54Come here
34:57Sully's here
34:59Hey
35:00Sorry, I don't want to interrupt
35:02I can go if it's, erm
35:03No, no, it's fine
35:04I'll, er, make you a plate up
35:06Come and sit down
35:08What was it you gonna say?
35:09Nothing
35:09Just that, erm
35:13Your mac and cheese isn't as good as Nancy's
35:15Oh, charming
35:15I'd have slaved away on that
35:17Sorry
35:24There it is
35:32Hey, what is it?
35:34I've got rid of them
35:36I never want to have them again
35:39Oh
35:41Why don't you leave me?
35:44Who should be at the left, mate?
35:45I want to go to Natalny
35:47And I want to shot him
35:48And I want me here
35:49Hey, listen to me
35:51Listen to me
35:52I am here
35:54And I am not going anywhere, alright?
35:57And the blackmailer
35:58You will never hear from them again
36:00They've got the money
36:15Miss Bear
36:18Dad's behaved appallingly
36:21It's just a blip, right?
36:23I mean, it doesn't just wipe out all the good, does it?
36:26He's had his whole other life unearthed
36:28After decades of being someone else
36:30Talk about an identity crisis
36:33This means he needs you more than ever
36:35Yeah
36:36And he makes you smile
36:37I know he doesn't now, but
36:39He will again
36:41Okay, and you're both tough enough to get through this
36:43Yeah
36:46Tough doesn't mean unbreakable
36:47No, but it means you try
36:54Maybe there is something still to save
37:17Need company tonight
37:19D.I. Donny Clark
37:22Isn't it?
37:23You pitched me for that scrap a few months back
37:25The charges were dropped
37:27So what do you want?
37:28Don't worry
37:30Tonight, it's just Donny
37:32Yeah
37:34I'm looking for a good time
37:36Well, I charge a double for cops
37:41No problem
37:43Get it?
37:58You do me a favour
38:00And you call me Mick
38:02What?
38:05Seriously?
38:06What, is it a slow night?
38:07Because this is scraping the barrel
38:09Well, this isn't me
38:18Oh, Donny
38:21It's just not your day, is it?
38:25On my face
38:47I'm going to bust a little bend
38:48From the end of the day
38:49I'm coming for a long train
38:49I'm coming for a long train
38:50I'm coming for a long train
38:51But I'm coming for a long train
38:52You, I'm going for a long train
38:53Nowhere, going nowhere, their tears are filling up their glasses, no expression, no expression, hide my head, I want to
39:11drown my sorrow, no tomorrow, no tomorrow.
39:20And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad, the dreams in which I'm dying are the best
39:29I've ever had.
39:36Do you know what Jack, of course you're gonna have the day off. You doing anything nice?
39:40Well actually me and Darren are going to spare JJ's asses in his mum's grave.
39:44Oh, you must have mixed emotions about that.
39:46Yeah.
39:47Listen, hope all the family's okay. I know we're estranged right now, but I mean that.
39:52Thanks Darren.
39:54See you later.
39:54Bye.
39:57Hey you, we need to have a serious chat.
40:00If this is about that stupid Trina stuff then-
40:02It's not stupid. We were messaging her last night, she was in bits. Trina doesn't serve to be spoken to
40:07like that.
40:07No, no she doesn't. Cause it can't have been very nice being called a slag.
40:10It's just a word.
40:12It's offensive and misogynistic. And used by vile men to try and make themselves feel better.
40:19Like T'roba.
40:20No it's not. Me and your dad brought you up to respect women.
40:24Call Trina a slag because she is one.
40:26And if you're waiting for me to say I regret it, then you'll be waiting here all day.
40:30Because I don't.
40:40Here you go, Gough.
40:48Don't blame you. Food in the canteen's bad enough. Lord knows what that slop will taste like.
40:53You suppose you've come to charge me?
40:54Oh, Donny.
40:55Oh, come on. Let's get this over and done with.
40:57I haven't come to charge you. I'm here to tell you to go home.
41:00Take a shower and wash the stench of this place away.
41:04That's what happened last night.
41:06It's gone away.
41:08What do you mean, gone away?
41:12I mean, we look after each other around here.
41:17Which also means your career isn't over.
41:21And more importantly, you don't have to explain anything about last night to your missus.
41:27I'll do one before I change my mind.
41:35And maybe one day, you could do the same for me.
41:57Oh, I love everything about Christmas except for the freezing cold weather.
42:02I'll take it to escape our lot.
42:06You know, thanks again.
42:07I didn't like what you did, but you got me out of a right stinker.
42:11My mates, Miss Edis.
42:13I'm just glad I could help.
42:15Do you know what peed me off the most?
42:18Warren.
42:18Going behind me back like that.
42:20I'm sure it won't happen now he's back with you.
42:22But I am so glad I no longer have the stress of wondering where he is every single time he
42:27goes out.
42:29You're welcome.
42:32Hey, if it's weird me living next door...
42:35No, it's really not.
42:37It might not be so bad having you around right now.
42:41See you in a bit.
42:49Your grandad is obsessed with feeding birds.
42:52There's seeds everywhere.
42:53Is he not a bag yet?
42:56Frankie.
42:58Look, I know this is really awkward for you.
43:00It isn't.
43:01No matter what I feel about JJ.
43:04He's still your son.
43:06You should still go and say goodbye to him.
43:08And...
43:09Scattering his ashes on Mum's grave.
43:11We both know that's what she would have wanted.
43:15Thank you for being so understanding.
43:17Darren.
43:19Why was the front door wide open?
43:21Really?
43:23Are you ready for this?
43:25You know, even after everything JJ did.
43:29Are you ever ready to say goodbye to a kid?
43:34Where's the urn?
43:35Did you move the urn?
43:36Frankie, you haven't touched.
43:38No.
43:39Well, the door was wide open.
43:41Well, no-one's gonna steal an urn, are they?
43:43It was right there.
43:46Let me find him.
43:50You are so handsome, young man.
43:53So, my dad didn't come home last night?
43:56After the way he spoke to me yesterday, I don't care if he ever does.
44:00I'm holding down a full-time job,
44:02alongside looking after this beautiful little boy.
44:06Dealing with your dad the way he's been acting lately is the last thing I need.
44:13Miss.
44:14I'm just about to leave for work, so I really don't have the time.
44:18I got caught up on a case last night.
44:21Even when I'm up to my eyes at the hospital,
44:23I find some time to send you a quick text to let you know what's going on.
44:27I know you do, and I'm sorry.
44:29I also need to apologise for what I said yesterday.
44:36Do you actually realise how often you feel the need to apologise to me lately?
44:42Talk later when you get back.
44:55Hi, Frankie.
44:56Um, oh, could you tell your dad that one of the officers from the station's gonna call and take a
45:00statement about the break-in?
45:01Well, you don't have to be a copper to know who did that.
45:05Before that I said it.
45:06No, go on. I wonder if you've got any information.
45:16Well, Dad and Aunty don't know.
45:18And they've got enough on the plate, so...
45:21The only idea is beyond all this.
45:25You do, don't you?
45:26Yeah.
45:28Do you know the other day when you said that me and Sully aren't a good match?
45:31What did you mean?
45:32Do you think Sully said this?
45:36Well...
45:36He came round yesterday for dinner with me and Dad, and...
45:39He was all smiles.
45:41But JJ's ashes were just metres away from him.
45:44What's the significance in that?
45:49Frankie, if you've got any information on Sully, I'll need you to tell me what it is.
45:55I don't...
45:56Do you think Sully might have had some involvement in your brother's death?
46:11Try not to worry too hard about Misbah.
46:13Like, she'll come round.
46:16I may not have been in your life for 20-odd years.
46:19But I still know when you're lying.
46:22Right now, she's clearly not happy with you.
46:25But you just need to use that Scouse charm and win around.
46:29That's not gonna be easy.
46:34Anyhow...
46:36We still haven't dug deep about you and me, have we?
46:40What do you really feel about me being back in your life?
46:44Do you want me to be honest?
46:45Yeah.
46:47Well, when I found out you let me think you was dead, I wanted to hurt you.
46:52As much as you'd hurt me.
46:54I can't blame you for that.
46:56But, since moving here and getting to know you again, and Misbah and Vicky and Dylan...
47:03It's past.
47:05But something's going on with you, Dad.
47:08You may have changed your name, but I rarely see the man I used to know.
47:13What's happened?
47:14Nothing.
47:18I'm the same man as I was back then.
47:21The one who still loves you just as much.
47:27Love you too, Dad.
47:36I can't believe I'm gonna get to spend my first Christmas with Easter.
47:40Very perfect, innit?
47:42Yeah.
47:42Listen, did you enjoy that job, Gemma?
47:45What?
47:46Just a question.
47:48Are you jealous of something?
47:49No.
47:49Come here, you.
47:52Merce, you know how I feel about you.
47:55Hmm?
47:56Do you think I'm gonna risk all that?
47:58Over Gemma?
48:00Look, Gemma is my past, and you are my future.
48:07Right, I need to get you a Christmas present.
48:10But listen, thank you for sorting the blackmailer out.
48:13I didn't like it, but I appreciate it.
48:16And I love you.
48:18I love you.

48:44Who is this?
48:55Oh, sorry, Diane.
48:57Are you OK?
48:59He can still talk to me, you know.
49:00I don't know, really.
49:04This came to my house.
49:06And this isn't the first thought I've received.
49:11That's awful.
49:13What's anything I can do?
49:15No, Abby.
49:16I shouldn't have shown it to you in the first place.
49:18I'm sorry.
49:19Yeah, I don't know.
49:23Hey.
49:26How do you feel about coming over to the archway?
49:28Your little secret Christmas kiss.
49:30What are you doing?
49:31Firstly, that is way too risky.
49:37And secondly, I can't.
49:38I've got lots of meat at Grimble Shopping to do.
49:39Maybe.
49:41Spoilers, boy.
49:47An old friend lives around here, and I'm hoping to pay him a nice surprise visit.
49:51Don't suppose you know where I could find him, do you?
49:54His name's Donnie Clark.
49:57If I didn't know better, I'd think you were avoiding me.
49:59I'm late for my shift at the hospital.
50:00And you were banged out of order at the hutch yesterday.
50:03You need to make your mind up on whose side you are.
50:05And we need to know we can still trust each other.
50:06I don't trust anyone.
50:07And you can thank Mick for that.
50:09Because from now on, I'll be figuring out what I want for him and what I want for myself.
50:12You wanted to tear Donnie apart, remember?
50:14That seems to be working.
50:17His latest crisis lights the dark, charges by the hour, and takes pride in her bedside manner.
50:22What the hell are you talking about?
50:24Your old man.
50:25He was arrested for soliciting a prostitute last night.
50:29I managed to get him off.
50:31Something can't be said of her.
50:34You're welcome.
51:05You're welcome.
51:10I was surprised you called.
51:12You seemed a little distant when I popped over yesterday.
51:15I'm sorry.
51:16I've been thinking about my brother.
51:18It's really messed with my head.
51:22But that doesn't change how I feel about you.
51:27That's good.
51:31I, um,
51:33I need to talk to you about something.
51:35Yeah.
51:36Okay.
51:45Who's done this?
51:47JJ's dead.
51:48I know.
51:49Just turned up at the house and Dodger reckons that...
51:52You brought it to him first?
51:55My head's been all over the place and he reckons that it might be someone close to me and I
52:01thought...
52:01Well, then it could have been me.
52:05Frankie, all I've ever tried to do is take this away from you.
52:07Yes!
52:08And I know that now.
52:09I was just confused.
52:11But I...
52:11But you're right.
52:13You are the only person that's ever taken action.
52:19I told you what you did to me.
52:22And you made it go away.
52:25Because you did it for me.
52:28You killed him.
52:32For me.
52:45I want you to tell me that you meant for that to happen, didn't you?
52:51For JJ to die.
53:06JJ's gone.
53:07Frankie.
53:09But I'm right here.
53:10Right?
53:12I don't want to talk about him anymore.
53:14I want to talk about us.
53:17About where we can go from here.
53:20I'm thinking it's maybe back to mine.
53:25Sorry.
53:26I don't want to push you into anything you're not ready for.
53:28No, you're not.
53:29It's, um...
53:31It's just I said to my dad I wouldn't be long because everyone's a bit shaken up, but...
53:36Ray Jack.
53:44Can't wait.
53:45Me too.
53:47And see you soon.
54:01Sorry, maybe Santa's Grotto was a bad idea.
54:04All those excitable kids running around.
54:06I totally understand why you wanted to leave.
54:09It's your first half day home from hospital and it's supposed to be a phased return, so...
54:13I just...
54:14I got carried away and I should take him to sleep.
54:17This is going to be overwhelming.
54:19But we are going to get through it as a family, I promise.
54:22And you can meet Santa next year, can't you, when Mummy's feeling a bit more like her old self?
54:25Give him his dummy.
54:27It's impossible to get close to him.
54:29You're making all the decisions.
54:31I didn't even want to come into town today.
54:32I just wanted to spend some quality time with my son.
54:35Okay?
54:35Shhh!
54:36Well, I'm sorry.
54:38I got it wrong, but we can still put it right.
54:39Look, he's drew a feed.
54:40Why don't we go and find a corner of the hatch?
54:42Yeah, I'll feed him and then I'll go back to hospital, shall I?
54:49I'm sorry, I nearly had him, but we just...
54:51Hey, look, I should never let you do this.
54:53It's supposed to protect you and not put you at risk.
54:55Just go straight home and lose the wire.
54:57I promise I'll get Sally another wire.
54:58No.
54:59I can do this.
55:00Believe me, I want to see Sally behind bars more than anyone, but I'm not going to jeopardise
55:04your safety in order to do it.
55:05Look, Dodger, this was my idea, okay?
55:07And I'm going to nail him with or without your help.
55:13Yeah, okay.
55:16But we're going to need to move slow and lure him in.
55:18And if you feel you ever need to shut this down any time, if you don't feel safe or if
55:23you think he might hurt you, we use the panic word.
55:25I know, mistletoe.
55:26All right.
55:28Go.
55:29And stay in touch.
55:30Be careful.
55:32Frankie.
55:34Getting justice for JJ after everything he did to you, it takes guts, mate.
55:38This isn't about JJ.
55:40This is about bad men who do bad things and then just walk away like they never did.
55:45Maybe they won't this time.
55:46Yeah.
55:47And we're going to make sure of it.
55:55Oh, you sit down.
55:56I'm going to my room.
55:57You're doing as you're told.
55:59I said sit down.
56:03What's this, what?
56:04You tell me.
56:07Have you been on the ale or something?
56:09Excuse me.
56:10No, I haven't been on the ale, but I know what you've been up to.
56:14I literally have no idea what you're about.
56:16Will you just stop it with all these lies?
56:17As if it's not bad enough.
56:19You calling a young woman vile, disgusting names.
56:22You're now putting it down on paper.
56:24What?
56:25Oh, yeah.
56:26I know all about that horrible letter you wrote to Frankie Osborne, pretending to be JJ.
56:48Back with you, Mum, now, my love.
56:53I'm going to be on the ale.
56:53I'm going to be on the ale.
56:58I'm going to be on the ale.
56:59I'm going to be on the ale.
57:01I'm going to be on the ale.
57:03I'm going to be on the ale.
57:04I'm going to be on the ale.
57:06I'm going to be on the ale.
57:06I'm going to be on the ale.
57:07I'm going to be on the ale.
57:08I'm going to be on the ale.
57:13I'm going to be on the ale.
57:13I'm going to be on the ale.
57:13I'm going to be on the ale.
57:17I'm going to be on the ale.
57:19I'm going to be on the ale.
