00:26I'll see you next time.
00:30Yep, thank you. That's all good.
00:34Thank you very much for keeping a low profile.
00:36I just wanted to see you get in your hands, darling.
00:41Er, so, who had the say for them?
00:43Because I saw Grant coming out of the B&B, you know, with all this stuff,
00:46so I'm guessing you didn't top in town.
00:48I stayed at Vicky's, but, um, thanks for the heads up.
01:04No, thanks, we're out of milk.
01:16Zack. Yeah?
01:17Remind me again why you can't do the catering for this wedding.
01:19I've got my best man duties, I've got a speech to think about, haven't I?
01:22I can't be thinking about canapes and gluten-free options.
01:25We've got gluten-free options?
01:26Yeah, not gluten-free. Can I take that?
01:29Yeah, knock yourself out. Go on.
01:30Well, come on, I need to get these in the freezer.
01:33Er, you know what I find really weird?
01:36What's that?
01:37Well, you know, Zack being best man.
01:39No, no, listen, I ain't got anything against rock cos he's grown on me.
01:42But, you know, it wasn't that long ago that Vicky was the Spencer,
01:46you know, is it?
01:47And, you know, I'm just thinking,
01:49one day I'd like to be best man for Spencer.
01:52You would always be my best man. Will that do?
01:54Beggars can't be choosers.
01:56Here.
01:57Did you get this from the medusta? Look, it's got a hole in it.
02:00Listen, that's you tripping over your own feet, staring at that blonde bird with a massive...
02:04She was blonde!
02:05Can I take some time off this morning, please?
02:07Of course you can.
02:08Are you a bit all right?
02:10Yeah.
02:11Yeah, it's all right. It's really good, actually.
02:14I'll see you in a bit.
02:14Yeah.
02:14Right, come on. I need to get these in the freezer.
02:31What the hell are you doing?
02:39Can you, er, help me out with this one?
02:44The letter on the alphabet comes before you.
02:47Comes before you?
02:49It's tea.
02:50Go on, then. If you want to make it one, I'll have one.
02:53I hate you.
02:54Grant!
02:56Er, what's the name of that actor?
02:58You know, the one who was in, erm, A-Team and Rocky III?
03:02Mr...
03:02Nice try.
03:04You're gonna at least move some of your stuff out of the way.
03:06It's my home, not a doss house.
03:09All right, give us a chance.
03:14What's his problem?
03:16Oh, I don't know.
03:17I'm not a detective, but maybe he's a crippling hangover.
03:21Or his regret of being knocked back by Linda.
03:23Or, erm...
03:25Or maybe his embarrassment.
03:26Of being smacked in the face by his own flesh and blood.
03:29Oh.
03:30Don't worry about it.
03:31Ben's it made me for now.
03:33Call it rites of passage.
03:39Well, if you think they've got something to do with the break-in,
03:41you need to hand them in to the police.
03:42No, no.
03:43Not enough on their own, are they?
03:44I'll be clever, Cindy.
03:45Wait until I've got enough on him.
03:47Who?
03:48Who do you think?
03:49Mark?
03:51I saw him just now, talking to Lauren.
03:54Just as she's managed to magic another load of motors out of her backside,
03:57it's definitely up for something.
03:58Hold on.
04:00Those classic cars that got torched.
04:01Is it General Weiss or Recycling?
04:04No, we're here now.
04:05Come on.
04:10That's tomorrow.
04:11The bigs.
04:13Bank holidays.
04:14Should've got a letter.
04:15What are you doing here?
04:16We, er...
04:17What is the word about, er...
04:18Mark?
04:19Well, tough.
04:20He ain't here.
04:20Ooh, blimey.
04:22Avon ladies ain't what I remember.
04:24You all right, Phil.
04:26These are Marks, aren't they?
04:28What do you want, are you, Walt?
04:30No, I found them in a car lot.
04:32A day after someone punched a hole in the wall.
04:34Probably after trying to get into the safe.
04:36What, and you think it was Mark?
04:38Based on what?
04:40No, if you don't mind.
04:42I wonder what the police would say about that.
04:44Especially if it's the same detectives looking into the arson case.
04:47Oh, you've heard about that, have you?
04:49I've heard enough.
04:50Listen, I've done you a favour, Phil, yeah?
04:52That common courtesy.
04:54Giving Mark a chance to explain himself.
04:56But no, if you don't mind do that, it's fine.
04:58I'll go to the police.
05:00I'm serious.
05:01Yeah, so am I.
05:02That's why I'm asking you nicely.
05:03Call it a common courtesy.
05:12Let's go.
05:15We are not dropping this.
05:28Er, you ever say we had a new lodger?
05:31It's Mark.
05:32He had some kind of kick off with Grant last night.
05:34Don't ask.
05:35Well, at least he could have tidied up after himself.
05:38Trust me, that is tidy for him.
05:40All right, you lot.
05:40Oh, just a man.
05:42Want to talk to you about tonight?
05:43Nah, not now, mate.
05:44I've got something on.
05:44What, more important than your best man duties?
05:46Oh, yeah.
05:47This time it is.
05:48Well, at least tell me that you've booked a stripper.
05:50I mean, I love you, mate,
05:51but I don't want to sit through your magic mic routine,
05:53especially night in an allotment shed.
05:54Those days are well over, mate.
05:56See you in a bit.
05:58Um, does this look like a student has to you?
06:02It's been like ten minutes.
06:06You've got a lifetime of this to look forward to, you know.
06:08Well, actually, it was me that was kicking off.
06:10Huh.
06:12You've got a lifetime of this to look forward to, you know.
06:15And I got you a coffee to thank you for your hospitality.
06:18From the CAF, where I work, where I get them for free.
06:22She gets them for free?
06:23Well, don't mind if I do.
06:25So, um, is this it then, babe?
06:28Is this the last time I get to see you?
06:29Is this an unmarried spinster?
06:30You call me a spinster again,
06:32and it'll be the last time I see you with two working...
06:34Oh!
06:34Sorry, by the bill.
06:38Hello, Kev.
06:39Hello.
06:40Zach, stripper's here, Ali.
06:42Hello, you cheeky sod.
06:45Right.
06:46I've...
06:46Just checking that I'm covering everything for tonight, okay?
06:49So I have got drinks, nibbles, games.
06:52I've told the girls to wait for five o'clock,
06:54which probably means Kim and Kat are getting around about six, so...
06:59Oh, no, something's happened, innit?
07:01What?
07:02No.
07:02No.
07:04I want to run something by you.
07:06Oh, yeah?
07:11What is this not familiar?
07:13Probably because it was my dad's.
07:15Yeah, that's right.
07:16There's one Sharon found her on the market
07:18just before they dredged the canal.
07:20Blimey, Tanner's ring.
07:22He's worth at least a grand.
07:23Oh.
07:24Enough for a semi-decent honeymoon, at least.
07:28Oh, and Sharon's all right with that, is she?
07:32Vicky, you can't go selling the family silver and not tell her.
07:36It's my dad, too.
07:38You know, Ross has worked his socks off to pay for this wedding.
07:42I want him to know that, you know, it's not gone unnoticed.
07:45And that's the only reason, is it?
07:48Hey, listen, this ain't me judging, but...
07:50You know, guilt, it...
07:53it can be a powerful motivator.
07:56Right.
07:57Thanks, Kath.
07:58Oh, look, I'm sorry, you asked for my advice, all right?
08:02Right, well, I will see you later, then.
08:09Hey, Gina.
08:11You got a minute?
08:13You okay?
08:14Yeah, yeah, I'll be fine.
08:15I'll catch you up, yeah?
08:17Right.
08:23Eddie's asked me to take him to the restaurant for dinner.
08:25Like that.
08:27I told you.
08:29If you want to play carer, then that's up to you.
08:33But it doesn't mean that I'm going to spend a second in his company.
08:37Right.
08:38See you later.
08:46Vicky!
08:47Vicky!
08:48Vicky!
08:54Vicky!
08:54Sorry, there should be a sign on the window saying no religious callers.
08:58I need to speak to your brother.
08:59Do I look like his secretary?
09:02He ain't here.
09:03Right, fine.
09:03If you see him, tell him I've found his keys, yeah?
09:06Yeah, well, if you see him first,
09:07feel free to remind him that his sister's getting married in the morning.
09:14What am I going to do, Ben?
09:16No clue, mate.
09:17If I'd slept with my girlfriend's brother, I couldn't even look her in the eye.
09:23So, yeah, the aquarium's a blanket note from me. Lifetime ban.
09:28I'm going to need some context.
09:30Yeah, go on, Osk. Give us some context.
09:34Penny, uh, wanting to take Louie and Jimmy out for the day.
09:39Dry run for when she finally pops, right?
09:41Uh-huh.
09:41But the aquarium's out of the question for me.
09:45Mm.
09:46Yeah, so back to square one.
09:48Right, well, I will leave you guys to it.
09:52Daddy daycare.
09:53Cute.
09:54Where are you going, then?
09:55No idea.
09:56But I tell you, it won't be.
09:57And that's Madame Tussauds, the private members' area at Wimbledon,
10:00all within 5,900 feet of Deborah Meaden.
10:03From Dragonstamp.
10:05Don't ask.
10:06Shit, yeah, I don't.
10:07Plans tonight?
10:08I've got tickets to this techno-raven old bank vault.
10:11Line-up looks classed.
10:13Can't. I'm working.
10:15Do you know who you could take, though?
10:17Josh.
10:17He has a terrible taste of music, too.
10:20Come on!
10:21Yeah, the thing is, yeah, um...
10:23I already said someone else could have the ticket,
10:25if you could make it, obviously.
10:26Oh, yeah?
10:27Who?
10:28Uh...
10:33Wayne.
10:35It's Will.
10:37You like raves?
10:38Of course it does.
10:38Right little gremlin, this one, right?
10:40You know, you were buzzing for a ticket, weren't you?
10:42Yeah, Will.
10:43I prefer rights, music, me.
10:45Yeah, I'm well up for a messy one.
10:46Yes!
10:47Woo! Yeah, boy.
10:49My guy.
10:50Promise I'd be his wingman, you know.
10:52Promise is a promise, right?
10:55So I guess you'll have to apologise to your brother
10:58the old-fashioned way.
11:00Fine.
11:01Yeah.
11:01I'm gonna go get a tea.
11:14Oh.
11:15Did the big scary man frighten you?
11:17Why are you talking to me like I'm a kid for?
11:21Fair enough.
11:23Why has Max got your keys?
11:27I don't like lying for you.
11:29So whatever it is you've done...
11:30Oh, I was wondering when I was gonna get a lecture.
11:33Oh, does right here, right now work for you?
11:34Because I am getting married tomorrow,
11:36I've got a million things to do,
11:37none of which are helped by you fighting in the street with your dad,
11:39upsetting the neighbours,
11:40and sleeping off a hangover on my sofa.
11:42Since when did you sign up to the Grant Mitchell fan club, eh?
11:44Yeah, fair enough.
11:46Not the top of my Christmas card list, but he's your dad, Mark.
11:50Just sort it.
11:52And Max.
12:07Lauren, we've got a problem.
12:11Could you be so careless with your keys, Mark?
12:13I'm supposed to be the rookie here.
12:15I've got to go.
12:18I wasn't interrupting anything, was I?
12:21Er, no.
12:22No, just a potential new supplier, that's all.
12:25I didn't think you needed a new one.
12:28So you had a delivery.
12:31You kept that quiet.
12:33Well, you should see what I paid for him.
12:36Right, you all set for later?
12:39Yeah?
12:40I'm thinking of doing a little speech,
12:42but I don't want it to be, like, self-indulgent.
12:44No, that'd be fine.
12:46This new supplier, Lauren,
12:47ain't got nothing to do with Mark Fowler, is it?
12:50Only I saw you with him earlier.
12:52No.
12:54No, he was just passing by.
12:56Right, then Priya said he was helping you sell a motor last week,
12:59so what was he, just passing by then as well, was he?
13:01If you've got something to say, just say it.
13:03All right, it's trouble.
13:05Jack rankings he's dodgy, Priya says the same,
13:07and then I find his keys in here next to the safe after a break-in.
13:11So what are you doing? What, are you sleeping with him?
13:13No, Dad, I'm not sleeping with him.
13:14That's the result. Cindy owes me a teller.
13:18It doesn't explain the keys though, does it?
13:21Fine, Mark has been helping me with the classic cars, right?
13:24So he probably just dropped his keys when he brought the cars over,
13:27or when he was bringing in invoices or something, I don't know.
13:30Yeah, that's what you're saying, Lauren.
13:31What, nothing to see here, yeah?
13:33What, so you think Mark had something to do with the stolen cars?
13:37Why would he take all of that time to do them up just to set fire to him?
13:42It don't make sense, Dad.
13:44Anyway, it wasn't Mark because he was with Sam that night.
13:47Why did you know that?
13:49Because I asked him.
13:50Why would you ask him that, Lauren?
13:53See, you'd only ask him that if you thought it was him.
13:56Go on, tell me I'm wrong.
13:58Even if I did, yeah?
14:00It wasn't him because he had an alibi.
14:01Oh, an alibi, yeah, yeah, yeah, you said.
14:04Who's that? It's Aunty.
14:06You just wake up, Lauren, alright?
14:07Just give your head a little wobble.
14:09Dad...
14:09No, I've had enough of this, alright?
14:10Your name might be above the door now, but I'm telling you.
14:14Buck stops with me, Lauren.
14:25I thought I'd prefer to booze it, to be honest.
14:28These fusion places can be a bit... poncy.
14:33Give me some spitting sawdust any day.
14:37But this is nice.
14:39You've done good.
14:41So what do you want?
14:43If I ain't a bit, I should do it.
14:46Gina not coming, then?
14:49No, no, she's working.
14:52You always were a lousy liar.
14:55At least I'd count on you.
14:58Show a bit of humility.
14:59Some forgiveness.
15:01Don't push your tail.
15:05So...
15:07What do you recommend?
15:11Well...
15:13Specials.
15:14We've got shepherd's pie.
15:15With a garnet and twist.
15:17Yeah.
15:18Right.
15:20Let's see if you can improve on a classic, then, shall we?
15:24No.
15:25It's just easier to blend.
15:27Make sure you don't choke.
15:32That's your turn.
15:33Well, well, well.
15:36Nicola's been trying to call you about IV.
15:38She's got a bit of a temperature and it's probably fine, but Nicola's panicking and she's gone off here, Nick.
15:43I've got to go.
15:43You don't, son.
15:45You've got me favourite granddaughter to look after me.
15:47No, no.
15:48That's not happening.
15:48No way.
15:50Right.
15:50I get it.
15:51Could you just get him up?
15:53You don't have to sit with him.
15:55Please.
15:57And get him across the square.
15:59I turned invisible all of a sudden.
16:02Just behave yourself.
16:04Fine.
16:05Yeah?
16:06Yeah.
16:06Can you just go before I change my mind?
16:09All right.
16:09Okay.
16:10Yeah, I'm on my way.
16:14So.
16:15Your dad tells me you're with one of Nicola's boys.
16:20Talk about a blended family, eh?
16:32I think we could go somewhere else if you want.
16:36It's just last minute.
16:37I think the food's decent though.
16:38As good as when I was chef here.
16:39It's fine.
16:41Just relax.
16:52I know she's your daughter, but do you really think she's the right choice of partner to go into business
16:57with?
16:57It's that easy to pour the wool over her eyes?
16:59Well, what can I do?
17:01I mean, Sam's giving them an alibi, isn't she?
17:04Which is closing ranks.
17:06Then we play them at the round game.
17:09Hello, all for police, please.
17:11Yeah, I'd like to report a crime.
17:14It's taken me a long time to get my head around it, but I could have sworn I saw Mark
17:19Fowler Jr.
17:21torch in some classic cars on the evening of the 14th of May.
17:27And like those stolen cars, the alibi goes up in smoke.
17:31Why didn't you do that?
17:34Lie to the police?
17:35For us, yeah.
17:37It's not just your livelihood at stake.
17:39It's Peter's too.
17:41You're good.
17:43I give you that.
17:44Taken you long enough.
17:55Kat, I'm sorry about yesterday.
17:58No, it's fine.
18:00Leaving us already?
18:01Yeah, the sunlit uplands of Portugal are calling me.
18:05You'll be back.
18:06Me and Alfie tried the old expat thing, yet here we are.
18:10I wouldn't count on it.
18:11Every time I leave this place, there's one thing less to come back for.
18:26Hey.
18:27Hey.
18:30Look about yesterday.
18:31What? You turning me down, you mean?
18:35Do you realise how drunk you were?
18:37I mean, sleeping with you was the last thing on my mind.
18:41That didn't mean you had to move out.
18:43It was fine.
18:44In the state I was in, it was the last thing you needed.
18:47Particularly, you know, your past.
18:50Have you spoken to Mark?
18:52No.
18:53Are you going to?
18:55Look, you help me sort things out with Johnny, it's only fair I do the same.
19:00Hmm.
19:01I only met your mum once, but I've heard a lot about her.
19:05Oh, well, if it came from Sharon, I'd take it with a truckload of salt.
19:09I heard that she stuck by you all and always had your backs.
19:13It was the same with me and Mick.
19:15You know, it didn't matter how many times our kids messed up and they,
19:19and they did, you know, a lot.
19:21We never turned our backs on them.
19:24Do you really think it's that simple?
19:28When it comes to your kids, yeah, I do.
19:31You never give up and you never stop trying.
19:34Even when they're the ones making it seem impossible.
19:37Or don't you practice what you preach?
19:46Take care, Grant.
19:52And thank you for reminding me of who I am.
19:58Sorry, I messed it up, but it's a habit.
20:00Oh, you weren't that bad.
20:03In another life, you, me, this place, who knows?
20:15Hold on, what do you mean you haven't wrote nothing?
20:17Well, the grooms is just, you know, thank yous and everyone.
20:20Look how beautiful my new wife is.
20:22Yeah, it's the best man's, that's the youngest bit I ever want.
20:25No, no, no, you have got to put more meat on the bones than that.
20:27Take it from me, I am a seasoned pro.
20:30I'm not sure multiple weddings makes you a seasoned pro, are you?
20:35I'll have you know, right, my nuptials was top notch.
20:39It was the actual marriages that I fell a little bit short on.
20:41Right, I will see you later in the man's shed.
20:43Bring your notes, I will bring my red pen.
20:45Oh, I can't wait, mate.
20:48You're back early.
20:49Yeah, I managed to wrangle half a day.
20:51But I don't see many of them on the table once we break ground on this new shop in December.
20:55Why?
20:56You weren't doing a run, are you?
20:59Oh, okay, look, I wasn't going to tell you now, but, seeing as you're here...
21:08Well, I'd say robbing the bank was pretty obvious, but, yeah.
21:13Pawn some of Dad's old jewellery at the Cash for Gold place.
21:16It's nearly two grand.
21:18Hmm.
21:19That's enough to claw back the money for the venue.
21:21And your dress.
21:22Yeah.
21:25Or a couple of weeks in Menorca.
21:28I ain't serious, Vic.
21:30Yeah.
21:31Oh, I don't know what to say.
21:32I mean, that's just...
21:36Hey, Pawn.
21:37Yeah?
21:37Don't know where Zach is, do you?
21:38Swerving me coals.
21:39Probably because he's on a date.
21:41He's on a date?
21:42Oh, right, who with?
21:43I don't know.
21:45Yeah.
21:47Get off.
21:50Wow, I can't believe how grown up she looks.
21:54I know.
21:54I know.
21:55Walking and talking.
21:57Oh, what? Dolly looks all right, aren't I?
22:00No, stop. Leave Brittany alone.
22:03It's me.
22:04You look happy, though.
22:07Really happy bit.
22:08Yeah.
22:09Well...
22:10I hope so.
22:13Yeah.
22:16It's good to see you.
22:18Yeah.
22:19You too.
22:21I'm not going to lie after last time you spoke.
22:23No.
22:24Please don't.
22:25You don't have to deal with that.
22:25I know you're probably killing him at the minute,
22:28and as I say, the kids that they say look like they're having a lot of fun.
22:33Are you really happy doing all on your own when you could be right here?
22:36Zach, stop.
22:37No.
22:37Why?
22:39Why?
22:41We could have it so good.
22:42We could have our...
22:43our wedding-made family.
22:44Because I'm seeing someone else.
22:54Wait!
22:59What?
23:02You've messed up things pretty badly around here.
23:04Well, so you're allowed to get up to Walshaws when it comes to me dipping my toe in?
23:09Dipping your toe?
23:10Are you serious?
23:12Fine, you can call it whatever you want.
23:13Fact is, you carry on like this, you either end up doing a serious stretch inside,
23:20or being dragged out of the Thames.
23:25Now, I've got another option for you.
23:28Come to Portugal with me.
23:31Are you joking?
23:33Look, I know I screwed up badly yesterday, and I am sorry,
23:37but this could be our last chance to get to know each other.
