00:25Get up!
00:30You what?
00:31Get up!
00:32No, I'm serious, Cindy.
00:34Yes, and so am I.
00:38Look, this is just a feeling. Obviously, I want to get you a proper reg.
00:40Max!
00:41You really are the most arrogant man on the planet, isn't you?
00:45This is my wedding! Mine!
00:48And you don't propose at other people's weddings!
00:51Well, it ain't exactly a model wedding, is it?
00:53Oh, my God!
00:55Cindy!
00:56Oh, well done. You ruined that.
00:58Oh, no. You did that all by yourself, Max. There weren't nothing to ruin.
01:02You got pied, mate.
01:05Well, do you like your job?
01:06Oh!
01:09I was only joking. It was a joke.
01:13Get in life. Lot of ya.
01:24You okay?
01:24I can't find my mug.
01:26Which mug?
01:29Penny's moved there, cos it ain't here.
01:31Well, you just used that one there.
01:33I don't want to use that mug. I want to use my mug.
01:37Is this something to do with your mum? Because I don't think it's about a mug.
01:39It's about a mug, Harry. Yeah.
01:40Okay, Jean, just stop this.
01:43What's the matter?
01:48Dad left the wedding to look after him.
01:52Eddie?
01:53Yeah, made him top of his priority list.
01:55Thinking that I'm the one that was unreasonable when he asked me to take him home the other day.
02:00I am sick of it.
02:04Look, you know what? I don't expect you to understand, so...
02:09For him...
02:11He knows.
02:13He knows what that man has done to me.
02:15And he gets it.
02:16I do.
02:17And...
02:18I do, G. I get it.
02:23Well, tell me.
02:26I didn't say anything the other day, cos I didn't want to make you more upset, but...
02:30When I was alone with him, he said some really nasty things about you.
02:38What things?
02:42No, come and tell me.
02:45How...
02:46Bitter and twisted he thinks you are, but I told him.
02:49I told him how brilliant I think you are, G.
02:55But...
02:58He said he doesn't know what someone like me was doing with you.
03:06You know exactly what that means, don't you?
03:13Do you know what that means?
03:23There you go.
03:24All cleaned up, sweetheart.
03:27You wouldn't catch a man doing all of that in my day.
03:33A bloke would be bringing home the bacon or down the pub.
03:37Not wiping bums.
03:41Yeah.
03:42I'm just grateful for having this chance.
03:44You know, I was a great dad the first time round and...
03:47I wasn't that much better with Gina and Anna, so...
03:50This is my miracle baby.
03:53I could be the best dad I can be.
03:56You always were a lucky son of a gun.
04:02Can I see you?
04:13You spoke with Gina.
04:17Gina?
04:17Since yesterday.
04:21Really.
04:28Look, I shouldn't have said anything.
04:30No, no, no.
04:34I'm really glad you did.
04:37Gee, you need to talk to your dad.
04:40You need to tell him how this is affecting you.
04:43Yeah.
04:45Look, I shouldn't have to.
04:46No, I know you shouldn't have to, but you do.
04:55I don't want to waste my breath.
04:59Okay.
05:00Well, if you don't go down there and have a word, I will.
05:02What?
05:03I'm gonna go down there and tell him that this ain't okay.
05:06Well, you can't do that.
05:07Why not?
05:07Gee, I can't see you getting upset like this, okay?
05:12You need to go down there and have a word with him.
05:16No.
05:17Don't.
05:18Please.
05:18So what?
05:18You're just gonna let him get to you?
05:20You're gonna let him make you feel like this.
05:23You're gonna let him win.
05:34Go away.
05:35I don't want it.
05:37Why?
05:39You humiliated me, Max.
05:41You humiliated me.
05:42I was the one who stuck in my knee over there.
05:45Definitely got a bruise now.
05:47I won't be able to wear shorts in summer.
05:48It's not funny.
05:49Yeah, I know.
05:51It's all right.
05:51Probably done everyone a favour, anyway.
05:53You can't charm your way out of this one.
05:55I love the fact that I've got to charm you out of a mood when I took the risk proposal
05:59to you.
05:59So how long have you been planning this proposal, then?
06:02Well, why is that relevant?
06:04Well, because I want to know how serious you are.
06:05No, the two ain't even related.
06:08I'm a man of passion, aren't I?
06:10I do things on impulse.
06:11I'm driven by the blood in my veins.
06:14That's why you like me.
06:15I don't like you.
06:17You're ridiculous.
06:19All right, fair enough.
06:20I found the ring on the table, but...
06:22You found the ring?
06:25Yeah.
06:27Yeah, but you and me, Cindy, we fit, aren't we?
06:31I'm just sick of everyone around here writing us off, having a pop.
06:35Just wanted to prove to everyone, you know, the wrong about.
06:37So that's what this is all about, is it?
06:40Sticking two fingers up to everyone around here.
06:42Everyone is wrong, but Max Branning is right.
06:45Yeah, but Max and Cindy Branning, that's right.
06:48So rushing headlong into marriage, I mean, what number would this one be?
06:55Number Max?
06:58Five.
06:58Five?
07:00You are not making a fool of me.
07:02Not again.
07:03I ain't making a fool of you.
07:04No, you're not.
07:05Because I'm not marrying you.
07:06Right, great.
07:07Thanks for clarifying that.
07:10That's fine.
07:10You made that quite clear earlier.
07:24Who's that?
07:25Oh.
07:26No one.
07:27It's a private number.
07:29Yeah, it's probably one of them cold calls.
07:31Yeah.
07:34Right, I'm gonna go and get a coffee.
07:37Does anyone else want one?
07:38Where were you tonight?
07:41Yolandi left to go and look for you.
07:43And then no one could get hold of either of you for a couple of hours.
07:46So where were you?
07:47I left early.
07:48You didn't say goodbye.
07:51Sorry, Kim.
07:52I had a headache.
07:55Yolandi came back, we got chatting.
07:58And then your headache miraculously disappeared.
08:01Okay, Kim.
08:03Jordan is lying in there on an operating table and you wanna quibble over with or not us.
08:076'9".
08:08What?
08:09I wanted someone to talk to.
08:12About what?
08:13Nothing.
08:13I had too much wine to drink and I got sentimental over Patrick but I'm okay now.
08:24So just me for a coffee then?
08:26Okay.
08:27Let's go and get home with you.
08:28Okay.
08:35Who do you reckon would win in a fight out of you and Ravi?
08:38I mean, you're taller but he's probably got bigger muscles, don't you think?
08:42I aim fighting Ravi, he's a mate.
08:43Well, things change.
08:45Look, I don't think he's got bigger muscles anyway.
08:47I mean, strength ain't about measurements, is it?
08:50Yeah, and do you know what?
08:51These are the perfect size, I reckon.
08:55You're a dark horse, ain't ya?
08:56You and Vicky?
08:57Can we not, please?
08:58What was it about her?
09:00Was it the danger?
09:01I don't think it's appropriate talking about that here.
09:04Oh, now he's worried about what's appropriate.
09:07You know what, Zach?
09:08Everyone's already talking, so I mean, if it was the danger, I can think of something
09:13far more dangerous and far more exciting.
09:17You and me.
09:19Very hard.
09:20Oh, come on, don't tell me.
09:21You ain't thought about it.
09:23Oh, was I good?
09:25I haven't thought about it.
09:28You're my mate's bird.
09:29Right?
09:30No one's nothing, right?
09:31I'm a free agent.
09:32So I'm offering you a one-time deal no one needs to know.
09:37Just the night of your life.
09:40Because I was good, wasn't I?
09:45Oh, come on.
09:46Oh, come on.
09:47Oh, come on.
10:08You know what?
10:09No, let's have a selfie.
10:10Me and you.
10:11Okay.
10:13Whoa!
10:14Whoa-ho-ho!
10:15Okay, our girl.
10:16Do you know what?
10:17Whatever.
10:17All right?
10:18You're boring.
10:24I am not saying that you have to tell them tonight, but you can't make what is happening
10:29to Jordan prevent you from starting your treatment.
10:32Yeah, but I am not dealing with that tonight.
10:34I'm here for Chelsea.
10:35And you always want to be there for Chelsea, don't you?
10:38Not now.
10:42Kim?
10:47Howie?
10:48Can you take your Landy home?
10:50It's late.
10:51No point in you being up exhausting yourself.
10:53It's okay.
10:53I want to stay.
10:55Yeah, but there's no point in you being up all night.
10:57Honestly, my mum's right.
10:59She's here.
11:00You guys can go home.
11:01But your mother is tired as well.
11:03Oh, I'm fine.
11:05Well, if you're sure.
11:07Yeah?
11:08Well, um, we'll see you first thing in the morning, yeah?
11:11With some clean clothes and toiletries.
11:13Yes.
11:14He's gonna be okay.
11:18Okay.
11:21All right.
11:23Got good with you.
11:54No, no.
11:55I ain't never napped from you.
11:56What?
11:58Your sympathy.
11:59I was just gonna say goodnight.
12:00What's the problem?
12:03What you didn't see?
12:05See what?
12:09All right.
12:10I didn't see the big proposal.
12:12I was in the loo.
12:13But, uh, mum felt good.
12:16Sorry.
12:18But honestly, I mean, proposing at another couple's wedding.
12:21You done that with Mick?
12:23I didn't make a speech in front of everyone saying he was good in the sack.
12:26Dynamite.
12:26I said dynamite.
12:27It was a compliment.
12:28It was you showing off is what it was.
12:29What, are you jealous?
12:30Oh.
12:33Well, why are you the only person in the world who gets to talk to me like this?
12:35What do you mean?
12:37Well, if anyone else say them things, I'll fly off the end or have a go and let you say
12:40it.
12:40It'll twinkle in your eye and get a wave of it.
12:45You remind me of my old biology teacher.
12:49Miss Martin.
12:51I fancied her ride.
12:53You do realise I can hear this internal one of them, don't you?
12:57Sorry.
12:57Yeah.
12:59You going?
12:59You going home?
13:00Yeah, I'm done.
13:01I'll walk in if you want.
13:03I promise I'll kick my turn on monologue to myself.
13:06Go on then.
13:09I still want to marry her though.
13:11Good.
13:13How's that good?
13:14She don't want to marry me.
13:15You'll find a way.
13:18You'll find a way.
13:47Okay.
13:48What is this?
13:52You.
13:54Letting him back here.
13:56Forgiving him.
13:58He's in a bed in your front room and you're waiting on him hand and foot.
14:02He's dying.
14:03No, we're all dying.
14:05Gina, please.
14:05He hasn't changed.
14:07He's the exact same person he's always been and he's got you wrapped around his little finger.
14:11We've already talked about this.
14:12You're seeking his approval.
14:14Still.
14:17You've never protected me.
14:20When I was little, he said things.
14:24Things that I didn't understand at the time.
14:27But you.
14:29You did.
14:32And you let him.
14:34You never said anything.
14:36You allowed it.
14:37You allowed him to make me feel rubbish about myself.
14:41To make me think there was something wrong with me.
14:44And you're still doing it.
14:51Do you know what he said to Harry?
15:01He said...
15:05What is someone like him...
15:11doing with me?
15:17What do you think he meant by that, Dad?
15:23What do you think that he meant?
15:25I know what he meant.
15:26Because I've heard it before.
15:27Yeah.
15:30I'm sorry, G.
15:31G.
15:32I'm so sorry.
15:34Hi.
15:42You've reached Cindy.
15:44Send me a voice note.
15:45I don't listen to these.
15:47Bye.
15:50Voice note.
15:51What's a voice note?
15:53Alright, there we go.
15:55Uh...
15:56Uh...
15:56Yeah.
15:56Sorry, hang on.
15:58Sorry, hang on.
15:59I think that one's in.
16:01Cindy, can you hear...
16:02No, you can't.
16:04Cindy!
16:06Cindy, can you hear this?
16:09Uh...
16:09What is this?
16:13It's me.
16:13I just wanted to check that you'd calm down.
16:17You know, not in a sort of calm down woman way.
16:20These...
16:20Things are rubbish, aren't they?
16:21They just make you say rubbish things.
16:25Um...
16:25Cindy, I'm here, on me own, like a sad sack or something, and, um...
16:30I miss you.
16:42What?
16:43What?
16:44What are you doing here?
16:46What do you mean, what am I doing?
16:47I'm working, aren't I?
16:49What are you watching?
16:50Nothing.
16:50Oh, go on.
16:51Nothing.
16:52I ain't watching nothing.
16:53Oh, naughty stuff.
16:54Of course I ain't naughty stuff.
16:56Go on then, so what are you watching?
17:01Oh!
17:02That's even more pathetic.
17:04Cheers.
17:05Red ten on blackjack.
17:07Oh, sweet.
17:10Sorry, I didn't even invite you in here, did I?
17:13Yeah, look, I've just come to raid your booze cupboard.
17:15Have you got any?
17:16Think you've had enough?
17:17Well, that's not answering the question, is it?
17:19Of course I ain't got booze here, have I?
17:20Where, then?
17:21What do you mean?
17:21What do you mean, where?
17:22Where have you got booze?
17:23I don't know, at home, probably.
17:25Right, let's go.
17:26No, it's not a good idea, is it?
17:28Oh, what, and you sitting here by yourself playing patience is?
17:31Well, of all my life choices, Priya, this one ranks pretty idly, let me tell you.
17:35Oh, go on, you're sad, I'm sad.
17:38Let's be two sad kids together.
17:40Why are you sad?
17:41Same as you.
17:43Ravi dumped me.
17:45Ravi was...
17:46It's old news, isn't it, that?
17:48Yeah, yeah, it is.
17:50So old.
17:51So very old.
17:53So...
17:53Come on, then.
17:54Yeah, you and me.
17:55Back at yours.
17:56Just one drink.
17:58I'll be good, I promise.
18:03Go on.
18:05I think he thought he was just being romantic.
18:08Huh?
18:08Romantic?
18:09No.
18:10You dodged a bullet with that one.
18:11Do you think he's, um...
18:13Do you think he's got an addiction?
18:15Like a sex addiction.
18:16Excuse me, he is still my boyfriend, you know.
18:19Wow.
18:19Is he?
18:22Yeah, I mean, live together.
18:25And I've always got room at Peacock Palace.
18:27Listen, Cindy, you're like me.
18:29We are both successful, glamorous women living life on our own terms.
18:33And quite frankly, I don't need to be picking up a bloke's boxes off the floor or listening
18:38to bathroom sounds coming through the wall.
18:40I am so over them.
18:42Of course.
18:43There's times when I do desire a man, but I don't need one.
18:46Yeah.
18:47And neither do you, Cindy.
18:48Amen, sister.
18:49Yes.
18:50Boom.
18:51Excuse me, ladies.
18:52I'll just take that off you, sweetheart.
18:53Oh, what are you doing?
18:54No.
18:54Only because, you know, the marquee's about to close down.
18:58But, eh, every cloud, we are going to have a look in at the Queen Vic.
19:02Yeah?
19:02Yeah.
19:03She was eating that?
19:03Yeah, that doesn't matter.
19:04I'll save it for later.
19:05That's all right.
19:07There you go.
19:08There you are.
19:09Is that the last of them?
19:10Yes, cat.
19:11It's all my born blinis out of commission, all right?
19:15I'll be still chucking his guts up, is he?
19:17Of course he's not.
19:18He's still getting over the dance routine.
19:19Not the way about him.
19:21Listen, I get it.
19:21OK.
19:22I get it.
19:23It's better to be safe than sorry.
19:24Just let our hair down and enjoy the evening.
19:27Cat, come on.
19:28Got a boogie on.
19:30Hey!
19:31There's a newlywed in bed.
19:33Hello, sweetheart.
19:35You know.
19:35Listen, I'm thinking about having a lock-in later.
19:37If your fans are coming back, a few drinks and...
19:38I'm not feeling great, to be honest.
19:40OK.
19:41Where's the old man?
19:42Who's up?
19:43I don't know.
19:43He's gone to the toilet.
19:44He's been there for ages.
19:46Oh, right.
19:46OK.
19:49Hey, did you like our, um, prombellinis?
19:51Yeah.
19:52Yeah.
19:54What's wrong with him?
19:54Nothing.
19:55Nothing.
19:56I have not stopped eating them.
19:58You know, and I'm right this way.
19:59But you know, for some people, they get a...
20:01What is it?
20:01They get an allergic reaction, don't they?
20:03Oh, yeah.
20:03Well, I don't think we'd be eating them if we were allergic.
20:05The best thing about seafood.
20:07Right, you know, one minute it's your go-to death row meal, and the next day, BAM!
20:13You're puking up, cos that's seafood.
20:16Oh, I think it's the other end, Elphie.
20:21OK.
20:23Oh, Elphie.
20:24What?
20:26Sorry.
20:27All right.
20:32Stop staring at me.
20:34Oh, I've just had an image of you and me.
20:37You and me?
20:38Sitting side by side at a care home, blanket over our legs, lipstick on, dribbling into our
20:44gin.
20:49So what happened with you and Ravi?
20:51I don't want to talk about it.
20:54It's the same thing that always happens.
20:56Life with Ravi Gulati is only ever a fantasy.
21:02Oh, what's wrong with that?
21:04It's not real, is it?
21:06It vanishes in the daylight, disintegrates.
21:08It's gone.
21:13What did he say to you exactly?
21:14Oh, it doesn't matter.
21:16I bet he said, erm, it's not you, it's me.
21:23I need to get my head straight.
21:25I'm no good for you.
21:26I can't be who you need me to be.
21:28And then, I bet he said, er, you deserve better.
21:33Bingo.
21:35Don't trust a man with eyes like that.
21:37That's what my mum used to say.
21:40Sounds like you still love him.
21:42I hate him.
21:44That's the same thing.
21:45I'm angry.
21:47I am so angry, Max.
21:50I want to skin him alive.
21:52I want to rip his eyeballs out.
21:54I want to tear his heart out from his chest, and I want to eat it in front of him.
22:02She ain't got a cyclo.
22:06No.
22:10Well, it's not how you feel about Cindy, though, is it?
22:12Well, no, but I think you only get one person in your lifetime that makes you feel like that.
22:19Doesn't mean you can't love anyone else.
22:23So, what, you love her then, Cindy?
22:26Yeah.
22:28Yeah, I think so.
22:30And I mean, you don't sound too convinced.
22:33Well, what is love?
22:34Oh, please.
22:35No, I'm serious.
22:37I've been in love with so many women.
22:39I don't think that's the most important thing anymore.
22:42It's all right.
22:43So, er, what is?
22:45Showing up.
22:48Committing.
22:51And...
22:53Being faithful.
22:58What?
22:59It's not exactly your forte, is it?
23:01Yeah, well, I've never cheated on Cindy, have I?
23:03All right, yeah, what?
23:04You've been together, like, a month?
23:07Five weeks.
23:08Oh, sorry, yeah.
23:10That's a big achievement.
23:11Yeah, but I wanted to stay faithful, didn't I?
23:13I want to.
23:14Be done.
23:14Well, it's a shame she don't feel the same way about you, then, isn't it?
23:18No, she'll be all right.
23:19I think she's just embarrassed.
23:20Talking it all through tomorrow.
23:22Oh, you're dreaming, mate.
23:24You're dumped.
23:25The same as me.
23:26You're talking about I ain't dumped.
23:28All right.
23:30Chucked.
23:32Ditched.
23:33Cut loose.
23:34Blown off.
23:36Canned.
23:38Kicked.
23:39To.
23:40The.
23:41Curve.
23:51Phil's.
23:52Hi.
23:52Hello again.
23:53Oh, hi.
23:54Hi.
23:55How's he doing?
23:56So, the operation itself went as well as we could have hoped.
24:01We've stabilized his spine.
24:03There was significant swelling, but we were able to realign the vertebrae and relieve the
24:08pressure on his spinal cord.
24:10So, he's going to be okay?
24:11He's going to be able to walk?
24:13So, with spinal injuries, it's not something where we can give clear answers straight away.
24:19The next few days, even weeks, will tell us much more about how well he'll recover.
24:25Okay?
24:26Yeah.
24:27Mm-hmm.
24:27You can go and see him.
24:28For a few minutes, he's still sedated.
24:31Oh, can my mum come too, please?
24:34I can't go in there without her.
24:37Sure.
24:37Okay.
24:53I was sleeping.
24:56What did you say to Harry?
24:57Harry?
24:58What are you talking about?
25:00I don't know what I'm talking about.
25:01What did you say to him?
25:03Nothing.
25:05He's a nasty piece of work, though.
25:08Threatened me.
25:09An old man.
25:11You're going back to your cell tomorrow morning.
25:13What?
25:15Where's this come from?
25:17My little girl is hurting because of you.
25:19Me?
25:20And it's on me.
25:21I've done this.
25:22By letting the rock back in.
25:25What exactly did she say to you?
25:28She'll have twisted things, I'll bet.
25:30Do not push it.
25:31Wait.
25:32Wait.
25:33I've got an agreement with the boss.
25:37Boss?
25:39That's right.
25:41Nicola.
25:42She's had my money.
25:46And the only reason this whole family ain't gone down the pan
25:50is because of me.
25:58You're quite sexy, all things considered.
26:02What does that even mean?
26:03All things considered?
26:04Well, I mean, you haven't exactly got nature's gifts, have ya?
26:07So, all things considered, do well for yourself.
26:12Right, so you're calling me ugly, really.
26:14I'm actually giving you a compliment.
26:16A bit backhanded.
26:18You know what, it's a technique.
26:19It's called negging.
26:20What's that?
26:21What's negging?
26:22It's when you make someone feel insecure, so they're more susceptible to your mood.
26:25Mm.
26:27She call that flirting.
26:29Oh, that's so toxic.
26:31You're the one that's doing it.
26:32I ain't doing anything.
26:33Yes, she was.
26:33She was negging me.
26:35In your dreams?
26:36What?
26:36No, you're denying it.
26:38Gaslighting me.
26:39Well, is it working?
26:41Are you feeling vulnerable?
26:44Confused?
26:46Are you, er, walking into my trap?
26:51Oh.
26:52What do you mean, what trap?
27:00What?
27:02Oh, you know what.
27:05Come here.
27:06Prayer.
27:07Please.
27:16I really don't think that this is a good idea.
27:20So stop looking at me like that, then.
27:25How about...
27:32I'm the boss now.
