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