00:49 Babe.
00:50 Babe.
00:51 Oh, no.
00:52 Oh, no.
00:54 Babe.
00:55 I'm sorry.
01:03 I'm so sorry I wasn't here.
01:05 It doesn't matter now, darling.
01:06 You're here now, aren't you?
01:07 Come on.
01:08 Let's get you inside.
01:09 Come on, darling.
01:10 That's it.
01:11 That's it.
01:12 All right?
01:13 [SOBBING]
01:15 [SIGHS]
01:18 Dad, wait up.
01:30 He did tell you to pack light.
01:32 He didn't tell us we were taking the tube.
01:35 Can you hold Tyson for a second?
01:36 Let him walk.
01:37 Oh, but he'll get cold feet, won't you, baby?
01:39 Girls.
01:42 Enough.
01:44 [CAR ENGINE]
01:47 I like it.
01:49 Proper East End boozer.
01:51 Yeah.
01:52 Old school.
01:53 Old school?
01:54 [KNOCKING]
01:57 Yes?
01:58 Who are you?
01:59 George.
02:00 George Knight.
02:01 Elaine's fella.
02:04 I thought we had more time.
02:11 You're working so fast, Ben.
02:14 You were already on the plane.
02:15 And there was nothing you could have done, love.
02:18 The doctor said that they--
02:20 that he might have taken her on.
02:21 The trial.
02:23 Yeah, it's too late for that now, isn't it?
02:27 Just saying, how are you?
02:29 Look, we've all got to help each other through this.
02:34 Was it her?
02:37 Did she-- it was just like she was asleep.
02:41 She wasn't scared.
02:42 That's all you can hope for, isn't it?
02:48 Peace.
02:49 I'm not going to ask how Lexi is.
02:56 She's all right.
02:57 She-- she's at mine.
03:00 She was there with her, holding her hand.
03:06 And she needed her dad.
03:08 And she needed her dad.
03:09 Mum, you need to call me right now and tell me
03:20 what the hell is going on.
03:22 [LAUGHS]
03:23 Well, I can tell you that.
03:25 Your mother and I have decided to run this pub together.
03:29 That's funny, because she's supposed
03:31 to be running it with me.
03:32 And she never mentioned that she had some new whatever
03:36 coming along for the ride.
03:37 Well, she must have done.
03:38 Yeah.
03:39 And we met in Marbella.
03:41 When was she in Marbella?
03:42 Are you kidding me?
03:43 [LAUGHS]
03:44 Oh, it's the woman from the sign outside.
03:47 Is she your gran or something?
03:49 It's Queen Victoria.
03:51 Your gran is Queen Victoria?
03:54 [HORN HONKING]
03:57 Lainey!
03:58 Right.
04:04 You didn't go to Watford via Spain, did you?
04:07 You met George.
04:09 I don't.
04:10 You mean he's telling the truth?
04:12 I thought you were tying up loose ends,
04:14 not flying off to meet your new fancy man
04:15 and then inviting him to come and run the pub with you.
04:17 Lainey, stop with the dramatics.
04:19 Is it true?
04:20 Well, in a way, yes.
04:21 We're a team now, one big happy family.
04:24 All gorgeous girls looking sensational as always.
04:27 Some random man in a Baker Boy cap is not my family.
04:31 So turn that man around, because if he's part of the package,
04:34 you're not welcome here.
04:36 I know I'm early, but I missed you.
04:38 [KISSES]
04:39 [LAUGHS]
04:40 Jorge.
04:41 Listen, give me a minute.
04:43 Her bark is worse than her bite.
04:45 Mother like daughter, eh?
04:46 Mm-hmm.
04:47 You're not wrong there.
04:48 [LAUGHS]
04:50 Well, girls, I know you love Marbella,
04:52 but this is the best city in the world.
04:54 And you're going to have the time of your life.
04:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:59 I reckon you'd be right.
05:04 [LAUGHS]
05:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:15 You left me to run the pub on my own.
05:17 You lied about where you were going,
05:19 and then you show up a week later with some new fancy man
05:22 on your arm.
05:23 I mean, how long have you even known him?
05:25 Over a year.
05:26 Well, then why haven't you told me?
05:28 It wouldn't be fair.
05:29 You were going through your messy divorce,
05:31 and then you lost Mick.
05:32 Oh.
05:33 Oh.
05:34 So that's the real reason you weren't here for me.
05:36 You said you were too cut up over Mick,
05:38 but really, it was all about him.
05:39 It was a bit of both, darling.
05:41 And maybe just for once, you could be happy for me.
05:44 I have finally fallen in love.
05:45 And I am not saying it's a replacement for your father.
05:48 Thank god for that.
05:49 But it's my future.
05:52 And when it comes to running this place,
05:55 George and I come as a pair.
05:57 Oh, hello.
06:21 Let me guess.
06:22 Tracy?
06:23 Yes.
06:24 Yeah.
06:25 I've heard a lot about you.
06:27 Plugging drinks to drunk tourists
06:29 is a bit different than running a local pub.
06:32 I should probably deal with that.
06:34 I'm not having some stranger trying to take over my pub, all right?
06:47 You know what this place means to me.
06:49 Once you know George and the girls, things will change.
06:52 You mean they've come along for the ride and all?
06:54 They are excellent barmaids and lovely girls.
06:56 Well, Anna's a delight and Gina will grow on you.
07:00 Yeah, like mould.
07:02 They're not staying, all right? And neither is he.
07:04 He could be a con man, for all you know.
07:07 And what exactly would I be conning you out of?
07:09 My livelihood, for starters.
07:11 I've had a look at your accounts, love, and trust me,
07:14 there's nothing lively about this place.
07:16 You're losing money hand over fist.
07:18 In six months, you're going to have a pile of debt
07:20 and a pub you won't be able to float for love nor money.
07:22 Business will pick up.
07:24 In the past year, 400 pubs have closed their doors.
07:27 Without my expertise, you're going to be number 401.
07:30 He worked miracles in Marlborough.
07:32 And I worked wonders in Walford.
07:35 I don't think so, because this is my pub.
07:39 Yeah, Jan, next year, we're there for, apparently,
07:42 early hours of the morning, when you're always at the pub.
07:45 Oh, bless her heart.
07:46 That's devastating.
07:48 Oh!
07:53 26.
07:55 Oh, she was still a baby.
07:57 Yeah, it's way too young.
08:01 Oh, your sister.
08:05 How can they put men on Mars but they can't cure cancer?
08:09 It's wrong.
08:11 Freddie, there's no men on Mars.
08:15 Ain't there?
08:17 Oh, look, I'd better get to the back one.
08:19 It's all right, Winston's keeping an eye on it.
08:21 OK.
08:23 Kathy, I'm so sorry.
08:25 Yeah, thank you.
08:27 If there's anything we can do.
08:29 Thanks, Martina.
08:31 Er, no, get that thing out of here.
08:35 Aw, he's only little.
08:37 Yeah, well, maybe, but there's no dogs allowed, all right?
08:39 Sure about that.
08:41 Listen, darling, I am not in the mood for any back chat today, all right?
08:45 So I'll give you five seconds to turn round and get out.
08:47 All right, honeycup.
08:49 Sorry.
08:52 She's had some bad news.
08:54 Do you know, I don't even know why I'm here, anyway.
08:57 Excuse me.
09:00 Well, I don't know what your problem is. She started it.
09:08 (Door slams)
09:10 You all right, mate?
09:12 She's here.
09:16 Lex?
09:23 You all right?
09:25 Look, I know this is the worst time ever, and...
09:35 you must be devastated.
09:37 And I'm so sorry I wasn't here.
09:42 Jay said you were in America.
09:46 Yeah, I was, um...
09:49 I was trying to help your mum.
09:54 I was trying to buy us all a bit more time
09:56 so that she could see your first day of secondary school.
09:58 It wasn't gonna work.
10:00 Even I knew that.
10:02 She was always gonna die.
10:04 And you weren't even there to say goodbye.
10:06 Lex, are you all right, love?
10:09 Look, it's fine. It's my mess-up.
10:12 I'll sort it.
10:15 She's obviously got a whole load of issues going on,
10:18 but there are dogs. Big, slobbery dogs.
10:21 And then there's Tyson.
10:23 I know, babe. She was bang out of order.
10:25 Mm-hm.
10:27 Do you think Dad's gonna be happy, then?
10:29 I hope so.
10:32 He deserves to be.
10:34 What about you?
10:36 No more beach club, pool parties, no more sun.
10:39 Yeah.
10:41 But I think we can have some fun here.
10:43 Mm-hm.
10:45 And you saw them moving into the Vic, yeah?
10:47 Yeah.
10:49 But I think we should give them some time to get settled in,
10:51 you know, get used to the area.
10:53 Anyway, we should open the chippy now.
10:55 But they're just sitting there chatting.
10:57 We should be chatting to them.
10:59 I think I've already, like, blown it.
11:02 How could you have blown it already?
11:04 Well, the thing is, Fred, I was, like, walking,
11:06 and I saw them, and then they looked over at me,
11:08 and I don't know, I just...
11:10 I waved.
11:12 What kind of wave?
11:14 Is there any kind of wave that isn't mortifyingly lame?
11:16 I don't know. Show me the wave.
11:18 I'm not gonna show you the wave.
11:20 I'm gonna need you to show me the wave, Bobby.
11:22 Freddy, stop being annoying. I'm not gonna show you a shabby wave.
11:24 Bobby, show me the wave.
11:26 No, I'm not gonna show you...
11:28 ...a fucking wave, this one.
11:30 We need to go.
11:32 No, we started it out.
11:34 No, we didn't. What are you talking about? We started it out.
11:36 It's just nothing.
11:38 Uh, hold on.
11:47 Do they think they're moving in as well?
11:49 It would be hard to run this place if they didn't.
11:51 Oi!
11:55 What do you think you're playing at?
11:57 I've always been more of a Camilla man myself.
11:59 You know, second to the best and all that.
12:01 Put that back up.
12:05 Put it back up!
12:07 And then clear this out. You are not moving in.
12:09 Listen, Missy. I know it's a shock,
12:11 but you are not the only queen of this castle anymore
12:14 and you can't have it all your own way.
12:16 None of this is my way.
12:18 I just wanted to run a pub with my mum.
12:21 Linda, you needed someone to invest.
12:24 Someone to come in with fresh eyes, to make a difference.
12:27 You could have ended up with that Pannisar man.
12:29 And instead you struck gold with me and Lainey.
12:32 So count yourself lucky.
12:34 I can't.
12:36 Don't worry.
12:39 I'm going to go and meet some of the locals.
12:45 Bye.
12:53 I'm sorry, darling. I know I've sprung this on you.
12:57 But he's good news for this place.
13:00 Yeah, I can't talk right now.
13:04 I will call you back.
13:08 Morning.
13:14 You all right?
13:21 Even when the door stepped out, I really want to disturb him.
13:24 You're another guy. Oh.
13:28 He's charismatic and confident and he certainly knows what he wants.
13:33 And I'll tell you something else, he is the best gentle giant you will ever meet.
13:38 Watched him beat a guy to within an inch of his life.
13:41 And if there was one word to sum up George,
13:45 it would be family.
13:48 They've had a rough ride these last years, but they're solid as a rock.
13:53 And he would die for those girls.
13:56 And, yeah, if you want a cup of tea, Caffey's tea is amazing.
14:02 And Stacey's baps, bacon baps, are insane.
14:06 Sorry, I've just said so much information and you didn't need all that.
14:11 You really do have the most incredible smile, you know.
14:15 Oh, thank you.
14:18 I'll see you around. Yeah, see you around.
14:20 All right.
14:22 Who, um, was that guy?
14:25 You're kidding.
14:27 That's George Knight.
14:29 Go and get your bags.
14:36 No sagging.
14:38 Gentle. Absolutely gentle.
14:41 (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
14:43 I bet he's a... he's a mess.
15:04 Oh, yeah, Ben's back from getting his laces tied.
15:07 I haven't seen him yet.
15:10 Upper, upper, upper.
15:12 Strength, jab.
15:14 Two, two. Pivot, pivot.
15:16 Roundhouse, roundhouse.
15:18 Back straight, jab.
15:20 Upper.
15:22 I'll get this.
15:24 You all right there? Yeah.
15:28 We're doing over-50s session Tuesday afternoons.
15:31 For when you reach that milestone, obviously. Yeah, of course.
15:35 Do you have a youth section or any pros on your books?
15:37 Oh, we should ask my partner about that. Uster Box.
15:40 Oh, this guy was just asking about the club.
15:42 Sorry, I didn't catch your name. George.
15:44 George Knight.
15:46 Mrs was telling me you used to box.
15:48 She only misses. She doesn't know what she's talking about.
15:50 She did. You're always going on about it.
15:52 Amateur stuff, schoolboy stuff. You know who this is, don't you?
15:54 George "Nightmare" Knight, British champion.
15:56 Well, he defended his title, what, three, four times?
15:59 Four times. Ah, Nightmare Knight, the poster.
16:03 Yeah, that's why I saw it at your call.
16:05 Cost me a few quid that night.
16:07 Yeah, that's what happens when you bet against me.
16:09 So, so, what brings you round here, then?
16:11 Me and me missus are going to be running the pub.
16:14 The Vic?
16:16 So are you Elaine's fellow or something?
16:18 Yeah, that's me.
16:20 Does Linda know?
16:22 She does now.
16:24 Is Lex here?
16:28 Ain't she with you? No.
16:30 I was trying to talk to her, but she didn't really get the America thing.
16:34 Oh, it's funny, that. What's that supposed to mean?
16:36 Hey, look, this is not fallout. Stay out of it, all right?
16:38 OK, fine.
16:40 Was Lex upset? I don't know.
16:44 She was kind of angry, but she just ran off.
16:46 I don't believe you. You're telling me she's out there somewhere on her own?
16:48 She's probably at the park or something. It's not even been that long.
16:51 It ain't my fault. I was trying to get her to understand why I went to America.
16:54 How could she understand?
16:56 You spent tens of thousands of pounds on a consultation that was never going to change anything.
17:00 Lex, it's Jay. Look, call me as soon as you get this boat.
17:02 If we'd have got there six months sooner, it would have made a difference.
17:05 If you'd have fought harder, we could have got her on a trial sooner.
17:08 We did all that we could, right?
17:10 Sat next to her in the bed, Lexie holding her hand as she died.
17:13 And you couldn't face it, could you, eh? So you ran away.
17:16 You abandoned Lola. You abandoned your own daughter.
17:19 I was trying...
17:21 I was trying to save her. Oh, was ya?
17:23 Well, now you have got to live with that.
17:30 (LAUGHS)
17:32 Oh, my God!
17:37 What have you got this for?
17:39 I'm allowed to have something to remind me of Mum.
17:41 Yeah, well, don't let Dad see, yeah?
17:43 I'm not an idiot.
17:45 What's in this one? Dad's stuff.
17:47 OK, fine.
17:49 I'm going to wear one of your dresses, though.
17:51 What's the dress code around here, anyway? Everyone seems dead miserable.
17:55 We don't dress for them. We dress for us.
17:57 True that.
17:59 Oh, hey! What's your name?
18:01 Can you turn that music down?
18:04 Not off, in fact. Just turn it off!
18:06 OK.
18:09 Who are they?
18:11 They're just Grandma Elaine's friends.
18:14 Look, go to your room and I'll talk to you about it, OK?
18:17 It's OK.
18:19 He doesn't say much, does he?
18:22 For your information, he's autistic.
18:24 Oh, bless.
18:26 And any change in his routine or unnecessary chaos can be really distressing for him.
18:32 Which is why you need to clean this mess up! Now!
18:35 Menopause.
18:40 You saw Lexi? When?
18:48 About ten minutes ago.
18:50 You didn't think to say anything, no?
18:52 Take it easy, mate. It didn't sound like it was her fault.
18:54 I'm asking you.
18:56 Give the girl a break.
18:58 Thank you.
19:07 It's little girl Lexi.
19:09 She's, um...
19:11 She's upset because her mum's just died.
19:13 Sorry to hear your news, mate.
19:22 My little girl's grew up without a mum.
19:25 And my eldest, she was always pulling the disappearing act on me.
19:29 She's feisty, angry, fiery temper.
19:33 She gave me hell.
19:35 It took a long time for me to realise when she was pushing me away,
19:40 what she really wanted was a hug.
19:43 Ben.
19:47 Ben.
19:48 I want to talk to you.
19:50 So you're the famous little Lexi, are you?
19:53 Your dad's been worried sick about you.
19:57 About to send out a search party.
19:59 Posters of the works.
20:01 I reckon you're one lucky little girl to have someone who loves you so much.
20:05 I do love you, babe. I love you so much.
20:08 I am so, so sorry I wasn't here, OK?
20:13 There's no excuse for it.
20:15 But I'm here now, bub.
20:17 I'm here and I promise you I will never, ever let you down again.
20:22 I promise.
20:24 Thank you.
20:37 How old's Lexi? What, ten or eleven?
20:43 She'll have memories of Lola, won't she?
20:45 Yeah, of course she will. Yeah, I mean, she's got those vlogs.
20:48 Don't. Just ten seconds in and I'm bawling my eyes out.
20:51 You know what time I think it is?
20:54 It kind of feels like happy hours to me.
20:56 Yes.
20:58 Cheers. Cheers.
21:03 How the guest goes.
21:06 Bring the beach party to our party!
21:08 Woo!
21:10 Go, Lex.
21:14 No, come here.
21:16 We should be able... We should be able...
21:18 Yeah, I know.
21:20 What are you girls thinking? You can't be playing music like that tonight.
21:23 Excuse me? Girls, do as Linda says.
21:27 Turn it off. Now.
21:29 You weren't to know, but people round here have lost someone they really loved.
21:34 Now, obviously, we didn't know Lola.
21:37 But I've just met Lexi.
21:39 And if she's anything to go by, our mum must have been a very special girl.
21:44 So, drinks are on the house.
21:48 Collection on the bar for her family.
21:50 Sorry, Dad. It's all right.
21:52 That was lovely.
21:54 You all right, you know?
22:09 There's no point in shouting.
22:11 You're kicking off, getting nicked again.
22:15 Not going to solve anything, is it?
22:18 Yeah, we don't want any more trouble.
22:22 But I think you should be angry.
22:26 I am. Of course I am.
22:30 If life was fair, she'd still be here.
22:35 What's shouting going to do, though?
22:37 I don't know, Billy. Who cares?
22:40 Maybe we just need to let it all out.
22:43 It's not fair!
22:45 Come on.
22:47 It's not fair!
22:51 It's not fair!
22:53 It's not fair!
22:55 It's not fair.
22:57 It's OK.
22:59 We'll get through it. We will. We will.
23:01 Somehow, somewhere, together, we will. We will.
23:05 I know.
23:07 Yeah, I went to one of his fights.
23:12 It's George Knight, the boxer.
23:14 There he is.
23:16 Hello, George.
23:18 Have we met before?
23:28 Because I recognise that scent.
23:30 Can I help you, darling?
23:32 No.
23:34 I've just heard about the collection.
23:40 That's really kind of you.
23:42 At least we could do.
23:44 Here you go, Dad.
23:46 Hang on. Are these your daughters?
23:48 Yeah.
23:49 So, we didn't know you'd lost someone.
23:51 And I was being an absolute cow.
23:54 So sorry.
23:56 OK. I forgive you.
24:01 (BELLS RINGING)
24:03 That's the one I was telling you about.
24:08 Hey, George, you ever thought about getting back in the ring?
24:15 Yeah, I'd like to see that happen.
24:17 Well, never say never.
24:19 How about you, fella?
24:23 You're a fine man.
24:26 You've lost me.
24:29 Yeah, yeah. You like intimidating women.
24:32 How about a fair fight?
24:34 Me, you, outside.
24:37 If you like.
24:39 Kidding, of course.
24:44 Drink's on the house tonight, so enjoy your evening.
24:48 So, how can I help you?
24:52 Why are you really here?
24:58 Like I said, to build a life with Lainey.
25:01 I never thought I'd find love like this again, so...
25:04 I sold my bar, brought my daughters over, cos I'm all in.
25:07 And I get it.
25:09 You own 50% of the pub and it means a lot to you.
25:12 But I'm not gonna hurt you, no.
25:14 I'm gonna put a shoe around and I'm not gonna cause you any trouble.
25:17 All right?
25:19 (DISTANT CHATTER)
25:21 I'm not entirely sure what was said to you.
25:38 Relax, mate. Like I said, just kidding.
25:41 If you back into my pub again, I'll intimidate my good lady or her family.
25:48 It won't be a laughing matter.
25:50 - There you are. - Are we gonna taste the new place, or what?
26:11 So, what do you think, girls?
26:13 - A bit in, round here? - I like it.
26:15 Feels familiar somehow, like we belong here.
26:18 You say that about literally every place we ever visit.
26:21 This time I mean it!
26:23 No, I'm with you. I'm up here with Zayn, but too many ghosts.
26:26 If you girls really want to find yourselves, this is the place to be.
26:32 So what are we toasting?
26:37 Resta.
