00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 Come on, come on.
00:19 Pick up, pick up.
00:20 This is Lisa.
00:21 Can't take your call often.
00:28 There's still no answer.
00:30 You know, I should have gone to the airport, gone off.
00:32 Then why did you stop me?
00:33 There's nothing we could have done.
00:34 Sorry, I'm not blaming you.
00:38 I was hours away from that court order.
00:41 You'll see Peggy again.
00:42 Lisa won't even answer the phone.
00:43 Well, if we just calm down and wait,
00:46 then we can ask for video access and maybe visits after that.
00:49 No, I'm not going to sit and wait.
00:52 All right, I'm getting my little girl back,
00:54 whatever it takes.
00:55 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:58 Rocky, you really don't have to do this.
01:05 I do.
01:06 Today, we should have been setting off on a honeymoon.
01:09 But thanks to me, we are here, tripless and popless.
01:13 So I've decided I'm mucking in instead of mucking up.
01:18 You heard about the drama?
01:20 An ex turned up for the wedding.
01:22 Imagine that.
01:24 Having a little gossip, are we?
01:25 No, Kat, we're just hoping married life's going well.
01:27 That's all.
01:28 Well, you can tell the rumor mill that it's
01:29 been a complicated start.
01:32 But it's made us all the more determined to make it work.
01:34 Yeah, well, good for you, girl.
01:35 Yeah, man, love.
01:37 Oh, that is a wonderful thing to have, you know, man.
01:40 Oh, listen to Mr. Romance here.
01:42 Hey, Kimmy, I think you should get Paddy
01:43 on that video thing of yours.
01:45 Yeah, that Kimfluenza thing.
01:46 You haven't done it for ages.
01:47 When's he coming back?
01:48 Oh, coming soon.
01:49 Um, can I have a coffee, please?
01:50 Yeah, I used to love all that.
01:51 Seriously, I loved it.
01:52 I think I was one of your Kimmy Fox cubs,
01:54 just hanging on your pearls of wisdom, darling.
01:56 I reckon your brain is like one big happy, jolly, glitter ball.
01:59 Paddy, thanks for breakfast.
02:00 - Yeah, yeah. - See you later, Emma.
02:02 You're coming to join, huh?
02:03 Mm-hmm.
02:04 Um, you know what?
02:06 I've got to be, um--
02:07 sorry, cancel the coffee, yeah?
02:09 I'll see you later.
02:10 Oh, Rocky, will you calm down?
02:16 The punters won't recognize the place.
02:18 I've said it's forgiven.
02:19 Forgiven, but never forgotten it.
02:22 I still can't look at that Nish with that shuddering.
02:25 Nish?
02:26 What's he got to do with it?
02:27 What, a honeymoon?
02:28 Yeah.
02:29 He won it in that poker game with Slagdoof.
02:32 Didn't I tell you about it?
02:35 Suki is going on my honeymoon?
02:37 [CHATTER]
02:39 Hey.
02:39 [CHATTER]
02:41 Hey, Martin, you still want me on the stall later?
02:44 Good man.
02:45 [CHATTER]
02:47 [SIGHS]
02:49 Boys, eh?
02:50 Playing with their balls.
02:51 [CHATTER]
02:53 See, women do this so much better.
02:56 Mm.
02:57 Talking about football, honestly.
02:59 No, Italy-Argentina last night, it was epic.
03:02 You're not-- not joining them, Martin?
03:05 No?
03:06 It's just Stacey said you're really good at, um,
03:10 heebie yuppies.
03:11 Told her.
03:13 I was excited.
03:14 Well, no.
03:16 I am the one being cheated on here.
03:18 So, um, go on.
03:20 Where are you-- where are you taking her on a hot date today?
03:23 The allotment.
03:26 Oh, OK.
03:27 My wife and a vegetable.
03:28 No, hold up.
03:29 It's going to be a nice picnic.
03:30 Make the place look all lovely, and, um,
03:32 have a place to ourselves.
03:34 Mm.
03:35 Mm.
03:35 Here, can I have a word?
03:37 Thank goodness for that.
03:40 Why won't your lawyer mate pick up the phone?
03:43 Well, maybe because there's been a rude bloke on the end of it,
03:47 leaving obnoxious messages all morning.
03:49 I just want my kid back.
03:51 Yeah.
03:52 I know what's happened, OK?
03:53 And I am sorry, really, but you have to calm down.
03:56 There must be a way of making that prohibited steps thing
03:58 work.
03:59 Peggy's already left the country.
04:00 Please, just call your friend for me.
04:02 Tell him that I'll do anything for you.
04:04 Please, please.
04:06 [SIGHS]
04:08 Such a knock.
04:11 Come on, let's go and finish up one of my clunkies.
04:13 No, no, no, no, no, mate.
04:14 Listen, I want to stay away from the bookies.
04:15 I might be lucky enough to be working there soon.
04:17 Yeah? - Timber yard.
04:17 Let's go. Let's go.
04:18 Girls, if you want to play, we'll play at Timber yard.
04:20 [CHATTER]
04:22 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:25 Sharon, yeah, we might have a bit of a problem.
04:32 Oh, God.
04:37 Ah, cheers, mate.
04:38 Cheers.
04:39 Thank you.
04:40 Eh, here you go.
04:42 Talked to him, not said a word about it.
04:44 And now she's learning Greek.
04:46 She's got a chick.
04:48 Yeah, but in this, you want it fair and square.
04:51 How do you feel?
04:53 I've been drinking.
04:54 No, not that.
04:55 This, you're flaunting it.
04:57 I should stick that phrase, but with a Greek sun, don't shine.
05:01 All right, love.
05:02 Kalimera is good morning.
05:05 Kalispera is good afternoon.
05:10 And calamari is--
05:12 Good evening.
05:14 No, it's squid.
05:16 I was trying to make a joke.
05:22 Mom, this trip, it's a good thing.
05:25 Time alone with Dad.
05:27 Yeah, I'm just worried about this Leeds deal,
05:31 leaving it all with you.
05:32 I will handle them.
05:35 You just concentrate on you and Dad.
05:38 Now, this trip's cost him a fortune.
05:40 You heard him.
05:41 And it mumps the plan.
05:45 All to prove how much you mean to him.
05:47 He's plotting some legal battle with Eve.
05:54 You know, I hate this, talking behind his back.
05:56 What, we've got much choice.
05:58 What if I explained everything, say why I helped?
06:00 Do you want to confess?
06:01 Sharon, he's never going to see that you was on his side.
06:04 All these lies, Martin.
06:05 Yeah, because he's always honest with you.
06:07 Look, everything that you were offering Peggy, a stable home,
06:10 that is what you're risking with Albie, by speaking out.
06:13 So why do it?
06:16 Risk your whole relationship, your family.
06:19 I know.
06:21 You can't tell him, Sharon.
06:22 Ever.
06:23 Hi.
06:32 Hi.
06:33 Is everything OK?
06:35 Yeah, I'm just going to go and check on Denzel.
06:38 First day of summer, and he's sitting in his bedroom.
06:41 I think him and Amy had a bus up.
06:43 Leave him.
06:44 Teenage boys in their rooms with the door shut.
06:49 I know the rules.
06:50 I knocked first.
06:52 I don't want to talk about Denzel.
06:53 I want to talk about you.
06:56 I hate dogs, you know.
06:57 I mean, it's an envelope, not an alien invasion.
07:00 It's up to you to attack and save the world.
07:02 Everything all right?
07:07 I was just asking her that.
07:09 I mean, you looked troubled in the cafe earlier on.
07:12 Has something happened?
07:14 It's not people are only saying good things about you.
07:18 They want the Kimfluencer back.
07:20 Yeah, they're right.
07:21 It's what your followers were saying, and all.
07:23 Come back, Kim.
07:24 Bring back the Kimfluencer.
07:25 No.
07:26 Our guru, our hero.
07:27 She's amazing.
07:28 She's fabulous.
07:29 She's gone.
07:30 Kim.
07:31 But that's what they're going to tell me at the therapy
07:33 session, isn't it?
07:34 I'm not amazing.
07:36 I'm not fabulous.
07:38 I'm mad in the head.
07:39 All right, mate.
07:51 OK.
07:52 Yeah, thanks for your time.
07:54 Wait.
07:55 Peggy has to be in the country for that prohibitive steps
08:01 order to work.
08:03 There's got to be something.
08:04 Call him back.
08:06 Please, I'm her dad.
08:07 I know.
08:08 But Lisa's her legal guardian.
08:10 She lives abroad, which means pursuing it
08:12 through the Portuguese courts.
08:13 All right, OK.
08:14 Which costs.
08:15 Yeah, I'll pay.
08:16 And it could take months, even years.
08:18 And there's no guarantees.
08:21 I mean, probably not, you know, with the whole absent father
08:24 thing.
08:24 He thinks that your best chance is to appeal to Lisa, direct.
08:34 He won't even pick up the phone.
08:38 You could try and get him back in the country.
08:41 Ask another relative to help.
08:44 What, Phil?
08:46 I think he's your only chance.
08:47 What I'm saying is, is it really any of their business?
09:00 No.
09:01 So a bloke pulling the wool over his wife's eyes,
09:03 it's fine, is it?
09:05 I'll be back to help with the packing, Mum.
09:06 All right.
09:07 Yeah.
09:08 No, it's not fine.
09:09 I know it's wrong.
09:11 It's lying.
09:12 And it's wrong, obviously.
09:13 So we're in agreement?
09:14 Yeah.
09:15 No, well, go and tell her then.
09:17 Come again?
09:19 You're the one who created this mess,
09:20 so you can go and sort it out.
09:21 Go on.
09:22 Sookie, I hear you're off on this Greek island cruise.
09:28 And I've got a bit of background for you.
09:32 Because, well--
09:36 Your husband didn't buy the trip
09:38 to prove how much he loves you.
09:40 He won it in a poker game.
09:42 It's our honeymoon.
09:43 I think she got the message.
09:54 Yeah, she's writing off.
10:01 Oh, very posh.
10:03 Oh, yeah.
10:04 Yeah, Sharon, isn't it?
10:06 For occasion, dining only.
10:08 Oh.
10:08 Yeah, look.
10:09 Look at that.
10:10 Oh, chips.
10:12 Tell me I don't know the way into your heart.
10:13 Yeah, you do.
10:14 I do, don't I?
10:15 Right, let's tuck in, shall we?
10:20 Oh, this is lovely.
10:21 A little bubbly.
10:22 What's that, your client?
10:30 Go on, take it.
10:33 I'm so sorry.
10:34 I completely forgot I was supposed
10:35 to have a video call with him now.
10:36 Right.
10:39 Martin, we have talked about this.
10:41 Yeah, how you want the money.
10:43 No, I need the money.
10:44 There's a difference.
10:45 Right, there's a baby on the way.
10:46 And no matter how much everyone says they'll help you,
10:48 they never do, do they, really?
10:50 I always end up sorting it out on my own.
10:53 Yeah, well, you're not in your own states, OK?
10:57 Go on, take it.
10:58 You should-- you should take the job.
11:01 No, I can't anyway, because I've
11:03 got no one to have the kids.
11:04 Mum's gone on an emergency cleaning job.
11:06 All right, well, I'll watch the kids.
11:13 What, why?
11:13 No.
11:15 No, I ain't asking you to do that.
11:17 Well, you can ask me.
11:21 Well, just pay quick, so I can get us something nice later,
11:25 like posh chips, Walford East chips.
11:29 Sounds good.
11:31 All right, well, I'll--
11:32 Yeah, yeah, I'll follow you.
11:34 I'll just tidy all this away, shall I?
11:35 All right, I'm sorry.
11:36 Patrick's giving us space.
11:44 Any excuse to be in the boot, we've all run.
11:47 I leave the mad woman to it.
11:50 No one's saying that word.
11:52 Meeting, headcase session, reprogramming more like.
11:57 Help.
11:59 I just want to support you getting better.
12:01 When I hear you speak about yourself like this, I wish--
12:21 I wish you could see what everyone else sees.
12:25 What?
12:28 People never saw me, yeah?
12:31 That's what this whole thing is about.
12:34 They will see Denise, or Clever Libby, or beautiful Chelsea.
12:39 Never me.
12:40 I saw you.
12:42 You saw me after I built all of this.
12:46 The hair, the nails, the sequins, the war paint.
12:50 And then all of a sudden, oh, look, it's Kim.
12:53 We notice her.
12:55 The glitter, the sparkles.
12:58 It's all lies.
13:00 It's-- it's all fake news and hold it all in because--
13:05 It's still you.
13:07 Just the part of you maybe that's the confident you.
13:11 Well, I don't know where that confident bit of me
13:13 is right now, yeah?
13:15 And the part that's left don't feel worth looking at.
13:19 If I go online, they've all moved on.
13:26 They're following other people.
13:27 There's literally nothing to see here.
13:31 You want to know what I see when I look at you?
13:32 I see someone brave, strong.
13:42 There's so much to offer.
13:45 Yeah.
13:46 Hours of community service.
13:48 You're a supernova.
13:50 Oh, and now you're comparing me to a dying star.
13:52 OK.
13:53 Oh, OK.
13:54 Wrong-- wrong word.
13:55 Wrong comparison.
13:57 What I mean is I know you, Kim.
14:10 Not just the glitter.
14:12 But all of you.
14:16 And you are amazing, Miss Fox.
14:22 I honestly believe you going to therapy,
14:29 looking after your mental health,
14:31 helping yourself to live with this PTSD,
14:34 it doesn't make you broken or fragile or less.
14:40 It makes you strong.
14:43 More.
14:44 Let's try checking in on your fox cubs.
14:49 Maybe.
14:52 Together.
14:57 Trust me.
15:08 Step it up.
15:09 Up, up, up.
15:10 Move, move.
15:11 Move the feet.
15:11 Feet.
15:12 Come on, guys. Get around, get around, get around.
15:14 Move.
15:15 Come on.
15:16 Up, up.
15:17 Watch your guard.
15:18 Keep your guard up.
15:19 Come on.
15:19 Move those feet fast.
15:20 Come on, guys.
15:21 Feet.
15:22 Get down.
15:23 I'm here for Peggy.
15:26 Because we never should have let him get on that plane.
15:28 It wasn't right.
15:28 Yeah, and how about this now, Thor?
15:30 Yeah.
15:31 You knew she was going.
15:32 I got the tickets.
15:33 But I had a plan to stop her.
15:35 Right, so I hid the passports.
15:37 Genius.
15:37 Because I had a legal order coming, OK,
15:39 to try and agree access.
15:42 You know, it isn't right that Lisa dictates Peggy's life.
15:44 For a legally appointed guardian.
15:46 An addict.
15:48 Yeah, look, I know that you've been, Phil,
15:51 with your struggles.
15:52 But what if Lisa can't beat things like you did?
15:56 What happens when she needs money again?
15:57 What happens to my daughter then, eh?
16:01 What do you want?
16:03 Help.
16:05 Call her.
16:06 Get her to bring Peggy back here so the courts
16:08 can act and use that order.
16:09 But for it to work, Peggy has to be in the country.
16:12 Well, take her away from her mother, you mean.
16:14 Yeah.
16:14 Louise, yeah?
16:15 Do you remember her?
16:16 Yeah, who had no idea where she was.
16:18 She was too busy at her spa with Sam.
16:21 All I'm saying is, is think about it.
16:23 The only thing I'm thinking about
16:24 is how hard I should hit you.
16:26 Do you know after everything, after everything you've done,
16:28 you asked me this.
16:29 You asked me to betray my own daughter.
16:31 Well, help mine. Keep her safe.
16:32 Listen, the only person who'll keep her safe is Louise.
16:34 You. You're nothing.
16:35 Do you hear me?
16:36 Love that little girl, Phil, all right?
16:38 Look at you.
16:39 Look at you, standing there begging,
16:41 knowing how pathetic this is, knowing this
16:43 was never, ever going to work.
16:45 You've lost her.
16:46 You've lost her, and you know it.
16:49 And you're never going to see your daughter again,
16:51 not for the rest of your miserable life.
16:53 Guard, get your guard up.
17:00 Come on.
17:01 [INAUDIBLE]
17:02 It's not blood, Arthur.
17:04 It's ketchup.
17:05 You do not need to go to A&E.
17:08 Very vivid imagination with condiments, that boy.
17:11 The kids are still eating.
17:11 I was going to take them for food while Stacey--
17:15 Works.
17:17 Yeah.
17:17 I won't be long.
17:19 Elaine just wants me to give the gents a quick once
17:21 over with a wet flannel.
17:23 The toilets, that is, not the customers.
17:26 Some emergency, the details of which none of us need to know.
17:29 Are you OK?
17:31 With everything?
17:33 Yeah, yeah, of course.
17:34 [LAUGHS]
17:35 [DOOR OPENS]
17:36 [DOOR CLOSES]
17:38 You all right, kids?
17:42 Oh.
17:44 Right, Mommy's going to go and have a lay down.
17:47 Mom's got a headache.
17:48 Oh.
17:49 Daddy's going to look after you, so be good, OK?
17:51 Dad?
17:52 Yeah?
17:53 Why's Mommy put lipstick on to lie down?
17:59 Because, um, money likes to look pretty in her dreams.
18:04 Service with a smile as ever.
18:10 Mom, have you, uh-- have you seen Sharon?
18:13 Her phone switched off.
18:14 I really need her.
18:16 Why?
18:17 What-- what's happened?
18:26 Suki, tell me I'm wrong.
18:29 But look to me like you could have done with a listening
18:31 ear earlier on.
18:33 Look, talk, don't talk, it's up to you.
18:36 But I couldn't just stand by and watch you being lied to.
18:40 Look, I do know how you feel, you know?
18:43 And us women, we should stick together.
18:45 I mean, it's them who's in the wrong, the gambling, the lies.
18:48 We're the victims here.
18:49 Is that how you see yourself, a victim?
18:52 Yeah, but one who fights back.
18:54 And don't worry.
18:55 I'll let Rocky have it with both barrels.
18:58 Come on, offload, have a drink, rant,
19:02 do whatever you want to do.
19:03 Ranting's not my style.
19:12 Ah.
19:13 Both barrels.
19:16 I should cut it.
19:18 [KNOCKING]
19:20 Now, that I would be interested in.
19:28 Only if you're sure, yeah?
19:35 Yeah, just say hello, yeah?
19:36 Yeah.
19:37 I can manage that.
19:38 Yeah?
19:39 Yeah.
19:40 No.
19:46 Mm.
19:48 Hello.
19:49 That's all I wanted to say.
19:55 Hi.
19:56 Hi.
19:57 Yeah, I, um--
20:01 oh, they're watching.
20:03 Well, of course you're watching.
20:04 You're my fox cubbies.
20:05 Oh, look at the hearts, hearts.
20:07 Oh.
20:08 [LAUGHS]
20:09 Yes, the fox catcher is back in the house, live, let me tell you.
20:15 Yes.
20:16 So remember to like, share, and adore.
20:19 And also, send me all your hikes, yeah.
20:22 Let me tell you about a wedding I went to last week.
20:26 Name me no names, name me no names.
20:28 Fabulous nails for the bride, courtesy of moi, yes.
20:33 But what happened next, well, wasn't short of wild,
20:36 let me tell you.
20:37 [LAUGHS]
20:40 Peggy could have been with us now,
20:43 living legally in this country.
20:45 But I've lost her.
20:46 And Phil's right, it's all my fault.
20:48 Don't say that.
20:49 It's true.
20:50 I'll never forgive myself.
20:52 Or Sharon.
20:54 Mom, for once, how can you possibly make this about her?
20:59 She hid the passports, so she says.
21:03 Yeah, she did.
21:05 And she went behind your back with Phil to get the tickets.
21:07 She was sorry about that.
21:09 She's been there for me, Mom, so stop accusing her, please.
21:12 Fine.
21:13 Sorry.
21:16 Still feels a bit odd.
21:18 Two passports hidden on a really high shelf just get found.
21:22 So?
21:23 Well, was there anyone else in the house
21:24 that could have helped her?
21:26 Could have found out about the plan?

21:43 Each spring, the males gather on an established meeting
21:46 at a display ground called a lek to court the females.
21:51 What's Mommy laughing at?
21:55 She must be feeling better.
21:57 No, you're going to Oscar.
21:58 No, no, I'll tell you what.
22:01 I'll go to Oscar, yeah?
22:02 You stay here.
22:03 Sage restaurants, food, and coffee.
22:08 This is an extraordinary display.
22:10 See you.
22:11 I thought I'd have time to talk to you.
22:18 No, I'm not up to anything, really.
22:20 It's just boring.
22:24 You're the highlight of my day.
22:25 [GIGGLING]
22:31 [LAUGHING]
22:35 Well done.
22:38 I'm whizzed with a wet cloth.
22:40 Want to get going?
22:41 Cup of tea?
22:42 No, I've got to go.
22:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
22:46 Hi.
22:55 I've been trying to call you.
22:57 I was charging my phone.
23:00 Why?
23:01 Him.
23:02 What?
23:04 You were there, weren't you?
23:06 At the house when Lisa found the passports.
23:08 You helped her.
23:09 I don't know what you're saying.
23:10 Come on, let's go home and talk.
23:12 Yeah.
23:13 Yeah, you're right, it was me.
23:14 You admit it.
23:15 Lisa was tearing the house apart.
23:17 She would have found them.
23:18 You what?
23:19 Keanu, they were just there on the side, so yeah.
23:22 I handed them over.
23:23 I thought nothing of it.
23:24 How was I supposed to know?
23:25 Wait till I see you yelling at her in the street.
23:27 So I drove off.
23:28 I lost my daughter because of you.
23:30 That is not my fault.
23:31 Let her, take her, Martin.
23:32 Let's just go home and talk.
23:34 You think I really want him there?
23:36 Pack your things and leave the house.
23:38 No. No, we can't do that.
23:39 Sharon, I can't face him every day knowing what he's done.
23:41 I'll kill him. - Yeah, you ought to try, mate.
23:43 Look, can we just calm down, please?
23:47 He goes.
23:48 All right, you tell him.
23:49 You don't have to.
23:59 I'll go.
24:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
24:04 Oh, great, now, are all these messages from real people?
24:16 My fox cubbies, disciples.
24:17 Of course they are.
24:18 Yeah, they love me.
24:20 I knew they would.
24:21 Glad to see the old Kim back.
24:25 Listen, that is so true.
24:27 I am back.
24:27 And that's what I told them when I canceled.
24:30 Cancel what?
24:31 The therapy.
24:32 I don't need it now, do I?
24:33 I'm back to the old me.
24:35 Look, OK, that one there, right there.
24:38 Read that.

25:13 Baby, it might not be that--
25:29 I know, all right.
25:30 I know it ain't our fault.
25:32 It kind of is.
25:33 There are things my boy gave up for.
25:36 I can't let you take the blame.
25:38 Well, you can't misgive family.
25:41 Protect Albie.
25:42 They're making you hopeless.
25:43 That's right.
25:43 Give me a couple of days, I'll find someone.
25:45 You're my friend, Martin.
25:47 And as a friend, you need to make this relationship work.
25:51 At least one of us can be happy.
25:53 Meaning?
25:55 So it happened?
25:56 Trust me, truth ain't always the best way.
25:59 I was just, uh--
26:04 Agreeing that I need to take my punishment.
26:07 Punishment?
26:08 What punishment?
26:10 Martin says it was him that he helped
26:13 Lisa with her passports.
26:14 You?
26:16 An accident.
26:18 That's right, isn't it, Sharon?
26:21 An accident.
26:22 Keanu can beg all he likes.
26:26 No access ever.
26:29 It has to be this way.
26:31 I just-- I hope you can see that.
26:33 That Lisa?
26:34 Sharon, I just want to thank you.
26:36 All those years of us fighting, and you've come up trumps,
26:39 helping you and Martin getting those passports for me.
26:44 I mean, I could never have done it without you.
