01:02People pick up the phone or drop a text before turning up on doorstep.
01:05Come on, then.
01:06Give me a hug.
01:07Oh!
01:08Did you miss me?
01:09Yes, I did.
01:13Hello?
01:15Mark.
01:16Hello, darling.
01:17We've got no space here, Mark.
01:19You're going to have to stay at Phil's again.
01:21Well, I've only come to say a proper goodbye, anyway.
01:25I'm flying back to Florida tomorrow, Vic.
01:27What?
01:27And I wanted to spend the night here with you, but if you'd rather me stay at Phil's...
01:31No, no.
01:32The Sophie's yours.
01:33Of course.
01:33So are you really going back to the stays?
01:36You know me being here weren't permanent, Vic.
01:39I know.
01:39Of course.
01:42How's he been with Joel?
01:44Yeah.
01:45So far, so good.
01:47Where is he?
01:48We don't want any trouble, Mark.
01:50Look, if he stays out of my way, I'll stay out of his.
01:54Is this a sharing sandwich?
01:55Apparently.
01:57Are you sure you have to go?
02:00What about that girl?
02:01Excuse me?
02:03Mmm.
02:03What girl?
02:04There's no girl, okay?
02:05That is ancient history.
02:11Why am I sixth?
02:12I was third.
02:13I don't care.
02:14I'm still going to win.
02:16He's not had the day off school so we can have Chris for lunch and play video games with you.
02:20He's feeling better.
02:25What are you doing?
02:27If he's too sick for school, then he's too sick for screens.
02:39Don't take it out of him, cos I caught you out.
02:43You caught me out?
02:44You knew your dad was having an affair with Pri and you let my mum go ahead with the wedding.
02:49Alright, yeah.
02:51I only found out just before the wedding.
02:53It's not like I was sitting on it for weeks and weeks and weeks.
02:55And I wanted to tell you.
02:57I was going to tell you, but I'm just sick of being the one that just blows up families.
03:00Right, you let my mum be humiliated.
03:02What?
03:02She's now heartbroken.
03:09Oh, hi.
03:10Hey.
03:11What if you want to do something?
03:13Like what?
03:15A hangout.
03:16I've got stuff to do.
03:18Oh, right.
03:19Yeah, of course, with Denise.
03:20Look, if you ever need to talk to someone about that, I'll even just meet her.
03:22Fine.
03:23Gosh.
03:23Take the hint, yeah?
03:40Robbie.
03:42Tell Priya I've got that chocolate for drinking she like.
03:47It's left.
03:48She's gone to Litt's.
03:49Litt's?
03:50Yeah.
03:51Yeah, her cousin's not well, and if all works out, I'm going to follow her.
03:55Well, hang on, hang on, hang on.
03:56What are you talking about?
03:57No, I don't want to get into it, can you?
03:58Robbie, your life's a hero.
04:00It's because of him, isn't it?
04:02You need to sort him out.
04:04Yeah, I know.
04:05I'm going to sort someone else out first.
04:12What do you think?
04:14Yeah.
04:15Looks okay.
04:17Okay?
04:18Come on, opening up again is when I help you move on.
04:21Get your groove back.
04:22Get my groove back?
04:24It's going to take a lot more than opening up to get my groove back.
04:28After what Max did to me.
04:31You know, I lay in bed last night thinking, counting down.
04:37Max.
04:39Junior.
04:41George.
04:44Nick.
04:45David.
04:47Matt.
04:49Matt?
04:49Rocked a pair of Speedos.
04:51Oh, no.
04:52He was a lifeguard, Peter.
04:55Ian.
04:57Roxy.
05:00Eight green bottles sitting on a bar.
05:06Ian and Roxy, I could say I was too young for marriage.
05:11The real truth is, I play with fire, Peter.
05:18Do you know what?
05:19I don't deserve you.
05:22I just hope Lauren appreciates you as much as she should.
05:28Of course she does.
05:31Look, are you going to be alright if I go and relieve Oscar from the store?
05:35Yeah, of course I will.
05:36You know, look, I'm bouncing back, like I always do.
05:53We're not open yet.
05:55Good.
06:11Hmm.
06:12Nah.
06:13Brannan went predatory on mum.
06:15That's why we have to move to Leeds.
06:16Like, she should have taken us with her.
06:18Yeah, but I'm not buying this sick cousin stuff.
06:21Something else is going on.
06:23Do you reckon she's left Dad?
06:25Left us.
06:26You can't go there, bro.
06:29If she has left Dad, I'll send him over the edge.
06:34You lay one finger on me and I will scream at this place down.
06:38There's people out there.
06:40They'll hear.
06:41Yeah.
06:42I've got no intention of touching you, Cindy.
06:47Just thought I'd pop in.
06:50See if your insurance on this place is up to date.
06:56Be an easy job, you know.
06:58The cremated remains of the owner's still inside.
07:02The same owner who's been very vocal about taking everything off the geezer who dumped her.
07:08You dead.
07:12Max having life.
07:14Two birds with one stone.
07:19You're bluffing.
07:20I've got nothing to lose.
07:23None of this is my fault.
07:26I'm a victim just like you are.
07:29This is Max.
07:31Blame Max.
07:32Or blame Priya for sleeping with him.
07:35But don't blame me.
07:37No, if you hadn't have interfered, we could have worked this out.
07:40And you're happy for her to raise Max's kid on the square.
07:46Seeing them both in the Vic.
07:48You pushing the kid on the swings.
07:52Max on the seesaw with Annie.
07:56Yes.
07:57I wanted to get rid of her because she stole my fiancée.
08:03Do you know what?
08:04Just kill me now, huh?
08:07Why don't you just smash me over the head or strangle me, whatever method it is you use, because I
08:12am done.
08:16You're not the only one with nothing to lose, you know.
08:19I mean, what have I got?
08:21My kids are better off without me.
08:24I've got two kids who were buried half a mile away that I never saw grow up.
08:29Your kids are still alive.
08:33And if you want Priya, then maybe you can just shove all of this under the carpet and be happy
08:38families again.
08:40Hmm?
08:41Because you love her.
08:43And she knows that.
08:46And you know what?
08:49I envy that.
08:50Because she has got a man that will lay his life on the line for her.
08:57Even kill for her.
09:00I never had that.
09:04So if you're not going to burn my bar down, can you just go please?
09:09Because I'm getting ready for a party.
09:17Cindy.
09:19I still blame you for driving Priya away.
09:22Yeah?
09:24Well, the next time someone smashes me over the head and leaves me for dead,
09:28I'll add you to the list of suspects, shall I?
09:42Not at all, it's all right.
10:03It's all right.
10:03I didn't know you were going to be back.
10:04Yeah, Sonny and Fly and Busy, back to Florida tomorrow after lunch.
10:08Ah, anyway, your timing could be better.
10:11It's all right, it's all right.
10:11It's Harvey's birthday today.
10:13I've been on the Bucksman since breakfast.
10:16What am I like, eh?
10:17Any excuse?
10:18Anyway, listen, we're having a party later in the Albert.
10:22Vicky and...
10:25Ross.
10:25Yeah, he's covered it all.
10:27And we ain't going to cut the cake until you are there.
10:30I'll be there.
10:31Lovely.
10:31Yeah, love that.
10:34I'm off to get another bottle of bobbly.
10:35I know.
10:36What am I like, eh?
10:37Any excuse?
10:38See you later.
10:39See you.
10:44What the hell are you doing back here?
10:46I told you to leave me alone.
10:48Well, you might have changed your mind.
10:51Francis.
10:52You're wasting your time.
10:55Well, in 24 hours, I will be in a window seat back to Florida.
10:59And you will never see me again.
11:02Actually, you might see me at Harvey's party later.
11:05But don't worry, I will try to avoid you as much as possible.
11:17Let's go.
11:20Hold on a minute.
11:22The foxcatcher is at your service.
11:26I like her.
11:28Looks like someone else.
11:31The thing is, she used to be into me, but I lost her.
11:37Excuse me?
11:38Well, no, no, no, no, no, no.
11:39None of that.
11:40We're not doing that.
11:41Listen, if you want her, you're going to have to go out there and win her.
11:44Yeah?
11:44I'm thinking big gesture.
11:46I don't know who do gestures.
11:48If you don't put yourself out there, how is she supposed to know how you feel?
11:52Hmm?
11:54I'm sleeping in my brother's spare room.
11:56It's crystal clear I'm in the way.
11:59Because you're the one that emptied our joint bank account.
12:02See?
12:02This is what you do.
12:04Just because you're as old as my mum doesn't mean you have to treat me like...
12:07Gigi?
12:31I am sorry.
12:33I wanted to tell you and your mum she didn't deserve how she was treated.
12:38I was just stuck in the middle.
12:41If you talk to me about it, I'm your husband.
12:46My dad is just constantly ruining everyone's life.
12:50But he is still my dad.
12:54I get it.
12:55I get it.
12:57I just hate it when we were out.
13:05You look amazing.
13:08I really hope Harvey appreciates all this effort.
13:13And I think my mum is starting to bounce back, Lauren.
13:18Yeah, I hope so.
13:19Yeah.
13:21You know, when I saw her earlier, she said something that stuck with me.
13:24Yeah?
13:25She's always been so unlucky in love.
13:28It all started going wrong for her when she cheated on my dad.
13:32Which...
13:32I don't know.
13:33It's just weird to think what life might have been like if she'd never cheated.
13:37Nah.
13:38Those two were doomed from the start, weren't they?
13:41Some couples are.
13:43Not like us.
13:58Come on, John.
14:01Hey.
14:03Do you want to sit down?
14:11I think...
14:12Why did you do a run-on yesterday?
14:16I thought I ridded you out.
14:18With my scars.
14:22No, of course you didn't.
14:24I had a rough patch a few years ago.
14:27I didn't...
14:28I didn't want to put you off.
14:30No.
14:32As if...
14:33I'm not going to pry, but...
14:39But just so you know...
14:41Those scars...
14:45They're just a part of you.
14:47And they make you who you are.
14:50There's nothing to be ashamed of.
14:53I promise.
14:55Maybe next time, don't be silly.
14:58Like, nothing could put me off of you.
15:02And I'm sorry you had such a bad time.
15:05I really am.
15:07Was your dad?
15:08Was he supportive?
15:11After you stopped shouting at me.
15:13He tried to be.
15:15We went through counselling and stuff.
15:18Okay.
15:20Good.
15:21Look, I'm sure it's all sorted now, but...
15:26If you were ever struggling again...
15:30Promise me.
15:31He'll reach out.
15:35I've got you, Amy.
15:42But tell me, don't think it...
15:45Like I used to think it's you.
15:49It's good to see you, Ria.
15:51No, I'm just, you know, trying to be social.
15:54Nigel.
15:55What are you going to sing, then?
16:19Oh, no.
16:23Oh, Ian, locked up when he should be here, wouldn't he?
16:28Ian, let's get back to the war again.
16:30It's not right with... No, I know.
16:33When I take it off, it'll be right, they do.
16:37So the rest of us, isn't it?
16:39Oh, no, I've ruined Arby's birthday.
16:42No, of course you're not.
16:43I am.
16:44Oh, I thought you weren't going to come.
16:47Excuse me, young man, I think I need to see your ID.
16:51Hmm?
16:51You don't mind him coming, do you?
16:53Benny's looking after Jim and he kicked off that we wouldn't let him come.
16:55Well, of course not.
16:56As long as you promised to eat my slice of birthday cake.
16:59Oh, you've got karaoke here.
17:02Oh, no, no, you're not going back to get your guitar, Peter.
17:04Peter!
17:05Over here, mate.
17:06It's feeling a bit emotional.
17:13Glad to see that you've opened the bar back up.
17:16Peter's attempt to get me out of my funk.
17:19Looking for someone?
17:21No, it's just a good turnout, isn't it?
17:24Look, if you see your dad, could you tell it?
17:30Actually, that's...
17:31What?
17:34I had to fight for my life today, Lauren, and I'm not exaggerating.
17:38First he breaks my heart, and then he throws me to the walls.
17:41What are you talking about?
17:42Well, I've dealt with it.
17:45But how can you bear to be that man's daughter?
18:00I don't know.
18:01Okay.
18:04There's a lot of paper in my life.
18:19Well, you touched that.
18:22I agree.
18:28Dad?
18:29Hmm?
18:30Are you managing okay?
18:33Yeah.
18:35Yeah.
18:38Yeah, I am.
18:45Be honest with us, Dad.
18:48We know you're hiding something.
18:50If you and Mum split up, just tell us.
18:53We haven't split up, okay?
18:56We're still together.
18:58Now, do I want her in Leeds and us here? No.
19:04But if that's what it takes for me and your Mum to stay together,
19:06then I'll take it.
19:19Well, all I'm saying is, you know, things don't work out for y'all.
19:22Probably have a spare room at my place.
19:24Oh, he likes me.
19:26All I'm saying is, don't be astray.
19:39I'm saying, don't be astray.
19:44It's all.
20:01Yeah, yeah! Two fingers up to make some fun!
20:14I'll get some therapy if I were you, love.
20:19Yeah, there's no way.
20:22Accidents happen. So did you miss me?
20:29Every second of every day.
20:37What's she doing back?
20:38She's going back to America tomorrow.
20:41Oh, good.
20:45Yeah, and I'm having a great time.
20:47Everyone, say hello, Donna!
20:52Yeah, Kathy's been giving me drunk since breakfast.
20:56So, what do you think of Nana Cindy? Still got it, babe? Loved it.
21:02Do you know, I think your mum pulled the plug on the karaoke
21:06because she was a little bit jealous of my voice.
21:09She's in a mood. Maybe.
21:11She shouted at me today, playing my game.
21:13Yeah, well, Mum's no best.
21:15It's because Mum and Dad were rowing
21:17because she knew Grandad was cheating on you with Priya
21:19and didn't tell you.
21:19Can I have another drink?
21:33Everything's gonna be alright, isn't it, Dad?
21:37Yeah.
21:40Yeah.
21:41Yeah, of course.
21:45Dad.
21:47I don't care whose fault it was, just please don't give up on Mum.
21:59I'm not giving up on anyone, okay?
22:04I love your Mum, and she loves me.
22:08This is just a temporary thing.
22:12Okay.
22:14I trust you.
22:17Everything we do, absolutely everything, is for you and your brother.
22:23And I promise, we'll all be together again soon.
22:29Okay?
22:32Look, Dad, I know this is hard on you, but I love you.
22:36Yeah.
22:39I love you too.
22:43Now, seeing as your brother didn't eat any of his dinner,
22:48how about I go to a chippy?
22:51Hmm?
22:53Okay.
23:08Happy birthday to you.
23:13Happy birthday to you.
23:15Happy birthday to you.
23:16Happy birthday to you.
23:17Happy birthday to you.
23:18Happy birthday to you.
23:20You should have told me.
23:22You knew all about Max and Priya, and she never told me.
23:26You are deranged.
23:29What are you doing, Lauren?
23:31Don't believe me.
23:34Mum, are you alright there?
23:35It's fine.
23:37I'll trust you.
23:39Trust you to stick around.
23:42What sort of happened, are you?
23:45What sort of mum are you hitting Louie's crown in front of him like that?
23:54Mum.
23:58You want a cake?
23:59Yeah, I want a bit of cake.
24:01You want a cake?
24:03Yeah.
24:06Mum.
24:06Well, why...
24:08Are you okay?
24:11He never takes my side.
24:16Unless you...
24:18You keep looking at me.
24:21And don't pretend that you haven't been staring at me, will I?
24:24Of course I'm staring at you.
24:28I can't stop thinking about you, Lauren.
24:32How am I supposed to do with that?
24:35There's just...
24:37There's just this little voice in my head and it's saying, just go for it, Lauren.
24:42It's going tomorrow.
24:46I'll never.
24:52It's close for plumbing work.
24:56We can't talk out here, can we?
25:05We can't talk out here, can we?
25:19I...
25:22I've changed my mind.
25:23I've got everything to live for.
25:26I'll be sticking around for the next hundred years, so I can stop Lauren and Max screwing up my son
25:33and my grandkids lives.
25:34You need to drink less, Cindy.
25:36Yeah, and you need to watch your back.
25:38You come at me like that again and I will scream from the rooftops that Max knocked up for you.
25:47She ruined my life and she is your wife.
25:50You should have been satisfying her, stopping her from going off with my husband.
25:55We're not even married and you're drunk.
25:57Don't you turn your back on me.
25:59Do your kids even know the truth?
26:02They don't even know, do they?
26:05You keep away from them, do you hear me?
26:08You really think they're not going to find out?
26:10You think Max isn't going to find out about the baby?
26:15You're deluded.
26:33I thought you wanted to talk.
26:37I don't want to talk.
26:41I don't want to talk.
27:09I don't want to talk.
27:11You're definitely going tomorrow, yeah?
27:13This is just a one-off.
27:15Yeah.
27:16I don't want to talk.
