00:00 [music]
00:25 Look, we can spare an hour. Always quiet.
00:28 Ah, great. I'll tell Adam.
00:30 Was the dress code for a gender reveal?
00:32 Birthday suit. I actually scrapped that one.
00:35 Oh, don't joke, Nick. It doesn't suit you.
00:38 David! David, quick! Quick, quick!
00:40 Yeah, it'd be a lot quicker, Gran, if you just said each word once.
00:43 No hush, Stephen, tell him.
00:45 Adam's organising a surprise gender reveal party at the bistro. 6.30?
00:49 Yeah, fine. She doesn't know.
00:51 It's usually how surprises work.
00:53 Although, it was a bit of a surprise that she got pregnant in the first place, wasn't it?
00:56 Oh! Oh, hi!
00:58 Just chatting about you.
01:00 Why? What's happened?
01:01 Oh, no, just talking baby names, you know.
01:03 I was thinking, David.
01:05 I'm not as about you as ever.
01:07 No, after the dog. Although, Mum wanted Gail.
01:10 But I thought that was a bit cruel.
01:12 We are not talking baby names. Don't let him wind you up.
01:15 Stephen, can I just have a quick chat? It's just a work thing.
01:17 Sure.
01:19 Do they know something?
01:24 About what?
01:25 Anything. The letter, the fact that Damon's tried to call me.
01:28 Damon called?
01:29 Oh, it's Nick's fault. He's tried to contact him about the licence.
01:32 Well, what did he say?
01:33 Nothing. I didn't give him a chance.
01:34 Forget him. You know, block his number, it's over.
01:37 The baby's yours and Adam's. So it's going to be fine.
01:40 Right, so I was thinking a couple of traditional Shraddha dishes, including your mum's favourite.
01:47 Pumpkin curry.
01:48 Pumpkin curry, yes!
01:50 And the cooking will be shared by...
01:54 You two.
01:55 Competition.
01:57 Well, no, together, collaborating.
02:00 It'll just dirty every utensil in the house while I do all the work.
02:04 The only one that's on TikTok.
02:05 The other one that's always on your phone.
02:07 Come on, guys, surely we can work together for your mum's memory.
02:10 Don't we only ever get pumpkins on Halloween?
02:12 Correct, Armando, so you will be using her.
02:15 So it's butternut squash curry.
02:17 I think I remember Mum cooking pumpkin curry.
02:21 Then she'd cook it when we'd go back from that school trip in York, when you twisted your ankle walking the walls.
02:26 Yeah. Yeah, she did.
02:28 She did. So let's add that to the list.
02:32 What?
02:33 Memories.
02:34 So, recipes, ingredients, memories.
02:41 Over to you.
02:48 This Sunita Fest thing. You know, late wife, new bird.
02:53 I mean, Ash is fine when I talk about set-up.
02:56 She knows it's always in my head, so...
02:58 Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
03:01 And I'm always out with the food.
03:03 Nope. I offered. Apparently, Dev's already got a plan.
03:07 Are you trying to get out of coming?
03:10 It's just gonna be a couple of drinks, some nibbles and a balloon.
03:13 Right, well, who's bringing the rats and snails and the puppy dog tails, or the sugar and spice and everything nice?
03:19 Stop moaning about it being a gender reveal.
03:21 It's just a way to get both families in the same room, so Sarah and I can stand up and tell everybody,
03:26 all this gossiping, all this judging, it stops right here.
03:29 We're together, we're having a baby. Deal with it.
03:32 Hey.
03:33 Hiya.
03:34 Hiya. Can I just get a sausage roll to go, please?
03:41 Of course I can. You had me at nibbles.
03:43 Hi.
03:49 Woo!
03:50 What?
03:51 Oh, Ryan. Right, here's a thought. Routine-wise, rather than workout, breakfast, shower,
03:56 how about workout, shower, breakfast?
04:00 Do I stink?
04:01 Well, I wouldn't use you as an air freshener.
04:03 And I bet you've left a bum-shaped patch on that fridge.
04:06 See?
04:08 Yeah, I can be a bit oblivious sometimes. Or worse.
04:13 Worse?
04:15 Yeah, yeah, I can be sometimes...unkind.
04:20 Daisy?
04:22 Yeah, I was thinking about what you said.
04:25 And I was harsh.
04:28 Not because of fuel stuff, or...
04:31 pretending to be crystal, was...
04:34 She crossed the line, Carla.
04:35 Yeah, she did.
04:36 Yeah.
04:37 But I suppose you've been through too much to be enemies, haven't you?
04:40 Yeah, I will apologise.
04:42 But it doesn't mean we'll be mates.
04:44 All right, well, good.
04:46 So, breakfast, shower, apology.
04:49 Don't skip the shower, Ryan. You'll stink.
04:51 You OK?
05:00 Right, how does this sound?
05:02 Hiya, Adam. If anyone has said anything to you, please say it, because I know something is wrong.
05:06 Oh, you've sent this?
05:09 No, no.
05:11 He knows something. I saw him in the cafe, and him and Daniel were just all cagey.
05:17 It's not what you think.
05:19 So there is something? I knew it.
05:21 No, it's a surprise party. Gender reveal. Adam's organising it.
05:26 Adam knows the gender? I mean, I've not even heard from the clinic.
05:31 No, no, the company, I think, that organises the balloons, the gender people liaise with the clinic.
05:37 So Adam doesn't know anything. You'll find out together.
05:39 Oh, my goodness. OK, yeah, no, that's what I want. I want Damon gone and...
05:43 just me and Adam, you know, solid, bringing up this baby together.
05:46 And that's what you got.
05:48 It was an emergency. I spilled cranberry juice on him.
05:53 I mean, it's a nightmare getting to the washer/dryer at hours, and I refuse to re-home Ken's balloonies.
05:58 Yeah, well, the leaky bill's gone through the roof. I've just had to pay a tonne of tax.
06:01 Butch has put his prices up 15%.
06:04 OK, well, me and Daniel are going to have a place of our own any minute,
06:07 and then my clothing emergencies will be off your worry list, because we'll have our own dryer.
06:12 Will you have a spare room? Because at this rate, I'm going to have to bin off the pub and move in with you.
06:16 Yeah, you love that place.
06:18 Yeah, well, it doesn't mean I can keep it afloat.
06:20 Sorry, Johnny. Be his bestie today and all.
06:26 OK, you're knocking off early, and we're going to raise a toast to him tonight.
06:29 No.
06:30 Oh!
06:33 Oh, er... Sorry. Carla, I just...
06:37 Hi.
06:39 Hi.
06:41 I went to the pub earlier, but you weren't there, so...
06:45 Nope.
06:46 Listen, I just wanted to apologise for yesterday. I was a bit...
06:51 A bit aggressive. A bit nasty.
06:54 Yeah. I'm sorry.
06:56 No, I deserved it. Well, some of it.
07:00 It wasn't what you copped for.
07:02 Is it an apology?
07:04 Yes, it is, yes.
07:06 Oh. Oh, well, good for him.
07:09 You know, I'm not sure I'd apologise for someone who made me fall for a non-existent person.
07:14 True. Though I've fallen for worse.
07:17 That did exist, actually.
07:18 Yeah, I didn't think of it like that.
07:21 I think it's always going to be complicated between them, though, isn't it?
07:24 Yeah.
07:25 Hey, we're raising a glass for Johnny tonight in the pub.
07:29 Oh, yes.
07:30 Hey, bring Ryan. I mean, he won't be anything fancy, cos, you know, I don't want to splash the cash just now.
07:35 I'm just feeling the squeeze a bit.
07:37 Yeah, aren't we all, love?
07:39 Yeah. But I've only got the place because of Johnny, so I want to celebrate that.
07:43 Oh, celebrate who? What have I missed?
07:45 Oh, er, Johnny's birthday.
07:47 Oh, you're marking it.
07:48 Do you know what? I bet Gary would like to come along.
07:51 Hey, wait, we'll mope the merrier. Yeah, er, six-ish.
07:54 He often talks about Johnny, you know.
07:56 I think them two kept each other sane when they were in prison.
07:59 Anyway, see you later.
08:01 See you.
08:03 I don't really imagine about the prison stuff, do we?
08:07 Yeah, well, if we only stick to his good traits, it might be a very short evening.
08:11 Oh! Sorry, Dad. She's right, though.
08:15 All right, I'll try and crowbar Ryan into coming. I'll see you later.
08:18 All right, love.
08:21 You've not invited Ryan.
08:23 Was that an apology?
08:24 Yeah.
08:25 Good. If there was a problem.
08:27 Tell them I said you need it.
08:32 All right. OK, I'll call them. Sorry about this.
08:35 Well, you might be happy. They're partying my bath tonight.
08:37 What's this?
08:39 A balloon company are saying the clinic won't give any information over the phone,
08:42 which is rubbish because Sarah spoke to them about the paternity thing over the phone.
08:46 Still, I thought it might keep Daniel happy, at least.
08:49 Why's that?
08:50 No, it won't.
08:51 Because he's dead against gender-reveal parties?
08:53 I work with kids, and some of them are struggling trying to figure out who they are, that's all.
08:58 Wokemeister?
08:59 It's tough for them.
09:01 Anyway, I said I'll come. Why don't you just ring the clinic?
09:03 Because I can't find out the gender and ruin the surprise. I can't find out before Sarah.
09:07 No, she will kill you.
09:09 All right, well, I'll call them, then. Come on, give me the number.
09:12 I'll liaise with the balloon company and everything. You can't be cancelling it now.
09:16 Right. I'll arrange cover so that you can talk to Eliza properly.
09:20 Yeah, but, you know...
09:22 We don't want to ruin her summer holiday.
09:25 Nor can we deceive her.
09:28 What exactly did the prison say?
09:30 Well, they just had to have ghosted her, moved her.
09:33 You know, it's going to make visiting a lot tougher.
09:35 Can they do that with a child involved?
09:38 Are you talking about me?
09:40 Oh, sweetheart, erm...
09:42 Yeah, erm...
09:44 It's just that your mam has moved somewhere new.
09:47 She's out of prison?
09:49 No, my love, it's a different prison.
09:51 Where?
09:53 Well, not far from where I'm from.
09:55 The North East.
09:57 But we can still visit her.
09:59 And you can video call her once a month.
10:01 My screen's rubbish. It's all cracked.
10:04 How will I see it properly?
10:06 It's not the same.
10:08 SHE SIGHS
10:14 Hey. Hey.
10:15 I got your text. What's happened?
10:17 Nothing. Don't panic. You OK?
10:19 Yeah. No, it's just work stuff.
10:21 You fancy dinner at the bistro tonight? I'll babysit for Harry.
10:24 Sounds lovely.
10:26 That was easier than expected.
10:28 I thought you'd be on about finishing leftovers
10:30 and not being able to enjoy yourself cos you can't drink.
10:32 Well, yeah, that as well, but I love you, so...
10:35 Sorry, I'm gonna have to take this, though.
10:37 I'm expecting a call from a client. OK.
10:39 Half six. I'm working late, so I'll see you there, OK?
10:41 All right, see you there. Bye-bye.
10:43 Hello, Sarah speaking.
10:46 It's lovely to hear Sarah speaking.
10:48 Damon, don't call me.
10:51 Wait, hear me out. No, do not call me again.

11:00 MUSIC STOPS
11:02 You can request your passport back,
11:11 but I don't think they'll give it back to you for a week in Magaluf.
11:14 Give me a call when you get to Court Day, OK? Bye-bye.
11:17 Ah, here he is. The balloon man.
11:20 Well, I spoke to the clinic.
11:22 Even pretended to be you, though without the accent.
11:25 They need the reference number before they'll even speak to me.
11:28 OK, don't worry, I'll call them.
11:30 Just give me the reference number, I'll speak to them.
11:32 It's fine, I'll do it. Just don't tell Sarah that I'll know the gender,
11:35 otherwise I'll have to kill you.
11:37 Or I could just buy a balloon that says "It's a baby"
11:40 and we just celebrate that instead.
11:42 Right, I'm going. OK.
11:44 PHONE RINGS
11:50 MUSIC PLAYS
11:52 Sarah?
12:00 Oh, Damon.
12:02 You really, really need to stop calling me.
12:05 I miss you. Talking to Nick made me think about...
12:07 It's over. Come on, please, respect my decision.
12:10 Why the big deal? Can't we just be in touch?
12:12 No! Give me one good reason.
12:15 Right, listen, I'm going to block this number,
12:17 I'm going to block any number you contact me on, OK?
12:20 Do not call me again, ever!
12:23 THEY LAUGH
12:33 Have they ever cooked together before, Ashley and Ali?
12:35 Yeah, no chance. The kitchen looked like a food bomb had gone off.
12:38 Oh, there she is.
12:40 Did you get my text? Have you got some cumin?
12:43 Did you run out of the shop?
12:45 Erm, I don't want my dad to know that we're here.
12:47 He gave us a full jar, I knocked it over, Adi's fault.
12:50 You two should have a cooking show. It'd be hilarious.
12:53 Well, if you want to come and see if it's edible, you'd be very welcome.
12:56 Oh, that'd be lovely. You'll come, won't you, son?
12:59 Yeah, sure, if that's all right.
13:01 I mean, it is all gorgeous.
13:03 Just a shame the two chefs do nothing but row.
13:06 Oh, here's a good one. Go back.
13:08 Oh, yeah, they're laughing at me. What did you say?
13:10 Well, I bet, saying, you know, they're childish.
13:13 Let's have a look.
13:15 Oh, yeah, yeah, get that printed up.
13:18 Dev would love that.
13:19 Show me, then.
13:21 Oh. What's that mark?
13:25 I don't know, but I bet the printers will sort it out.
13:28 I'll get it.
13:30 Can I sit there? Yeah.
13:32 Oh, hi, Bernie.
13:34 Can we get two teas and a strawberry milkshake, please?
13:37 Yeah, of course you can. Thanks.
13:39 We could move nearer the prison.
13:41 Well...
13:43 Everything we have is here - our home, the restaurant.
13:48 My mum's not.
13:50 I know, I know.
13:52 Did you get my text?
13:56 Yeah, but it's hard to read because my screen is rubbish.
13:59 Is it climbing you want to do or clinging?
14:02 Both, probably. It's an indoor climbing wall at all.
14:05 Hmm. Sounds exciting.
14:07 If we can get there yesterday, my dad said you could take me,
14:10 but now we sorted out a party in the bistro.
14:12 Oh, I can take you.
14:14 I fancy a climbing wall myself.
14:16 Is that a good idea?
14:18 Well, it'll suit me more than your pub quizzes.
14:20 That'd be amazing. Tell my dad.
14:22 Oh, brilliant.
14:23 Well, at least you can't fall off a pub quiz and break your neck.
14:27 I'll be fine.
14:29 And Eliza will catch me if I fall, won't you, love?
14:31 Eh?
14:32 You've changed your tune. What?
14:36 It's amazing what free booze does for your principals.
14:39 It's not just about the gender of the baby.
14:41 We're here to show that we're behind Adam and Sarah, actually.
14:44 Oh, yeah, sweep it under the carpet party.
14:47 Pretend she didn't cheat on him.
14:49 You see, they've moved on. You should as well.
14:52 Well, you would say that.
14:54 If we had a party to celebrate the end of all your affairs,
14:57 never be without a vol-au-vent.
14:59 It's a girl, it's a boy.
15:01 Oh, that's clever!
15:03 Oh, there he is.
15:07 Hey.
15:09 Just wanted to say I'm sorry that I've not been more supportive about this party.
15:14 And for what it's worth, I think you've been amazing.
15:17 I'm not sure I would have coped if Sinead had dumped all this on me,
15:20 all that DNA stuff, so...
15:22 Yeah, I'm glad it's worked out.
15:24 You OK?
15:27 Yeah. Yeah, it's just, er...
15:29 It's been tough, you know.
15:31 You've got to have trust, haven't you?
15:33 Anyway, I'll keep an eye out for Sarah.
15:35 I'll text you once she arrives, OK? Yeah.
15:37 Do you know, I thought it was all right.
15:46 We're only going to do the toast! I'll do it, I'll do it, right?
15:50 To Dad.
15:52 Your Johnny. Who was then?
15:54 Do you know, he'd be loving this when he was weeping and wailing over him.
16:00 Shall I get around the tissues, then?
16:03 Oh, Ryan, you came.
16:05 It was her who started me off.
16:07 You started me off?!
16:08 No, you both started me off.
16:10 I only nipped in to let you know Gary was working late, so I couldn't make it.
16:13 She's been worse than anyone.
16:15 I know.
16:17 It's just, it's Aidan as well, isn't it?
16:19 Yeah.
16:20 I'm just thinking about Johnny being with him now.
16:22 All of them together.
16:24 Right, er, well, shall I get everyone a drink?
16:29 Oh, Daisy's sorting it, yeah. It's on the house.
16:32 Oh.
16:34 Mm, thought you'd stood us up.
16:36 Yeah, well, Carla wouldn't take no.
16:38 Well, good, I need you.
16:40 They're one bottle of wine in and they're getting soppy.
16:42 Worried I'm going to put my foot in it.
16:44 I wasn't Johnny's biggest fan.
16:46 Thought Jenny could do better.
16:48 Oh, I hope you haven't said that.
16:50 Of course not.
16:51 Nor have I mentioned any armed robberies or women he was rumoured to fancy.
16:54 Remind me not to book you to do a speech at my funeral.
16:57 Don't you dare have a funeral. We've only just made up.
17:00 Oh, it's a bit soon to joke, isn't it?
17:03 Yeah, well, you can start by getting me a pint of zero in.
17:06 Er, yeah, I should switch to soft drinks myself.
17:09 Don't want to say anything I'm going to regret.
17:11 To Jenny.
17:13 Yeah.
17:14 Obviously.
17:15 That's a funny bit, isn't it?
17:18 You know me.
17:19 Oh, do you know what? I'm going to make this for Billa.
17:22 They'll think the meds have made me gifted.
17:24 These couture, they are so light.
17:26 Yeah, I should have forgot the stuffing.
17:28 They were your job.
17:29 She's got memory like a literal sieve.
17:31 Yeah, I took it away.
17:32 Do you remember to give your sister her bracelet back?
17:34 Yeah, yes, I did.
17:35 Didn't I ask you to give her that bracelet? You dropped it.
17:38 Yeah, yeah, we did.
17:39 Good.
17:40 There's an orb.
17:42 There's a what?
17:44 An orb.
17:45 There's an orb.
17:46 There, look.
17:48 See, I thought it was a flash or something.
17:50 See that round light?
17:51 Looks like it's floating.
17:53 Hmm, it's a shame. It's a lovely photo, though.
17:55 Yeah, well, I asked them to remove it, but they charged too much.
17:58 No, it's energy, is that.
18:00 I used to do yoga, and every photo you took, an orb.
18:04 And some people think it's a spirit.
18:07 Yeah, someone watching over you.
18:10 Yeah, well, most people don't in any way.
18:12 We are here honouring a loved one, not being superstitious.
18:14 Try one of those.
18:15 Are we going to hide behind the counter?
18:23 Oh, my crouching days are over, sweetheart.
18:26 I'd never be able to get up.
18:27 Crouching Gran Hiddengale. I'd watch that.
18:30 Hey, action stations, everybody.
18:33 Right, hold on. Crouchers into the office.
18:35 Come on, come on, come on, come on.
18:36 Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick.
18:37 They're going to be gone.
18:38 Quick, quick, quick.
18:39 Hey, table for two?
18:43 Yeah, oh, it's very quiet in here.
18:45 Oh, surprise!
18:46 This is not my birthday.
18:51 No.
18:52 This one's a birthday for somebody else.
18:54 Nice segue, Gran.
18:56 It is a segue, one of those gluttory things.
18:58 What's the party for, then?
19:00 Well, it involves a balloon, if that's a clue.
19:03 Gender reveal.
19:05 Who knew, eh?
19:06 Is it all right if I can say a few things just while we're waiting?
19:11 Could we have a drink first?
19:13 Yeah, all right, Tracy.
19:14 Right, would anyone prefer lager?
19:16 Oh, shut up, Simon. Carry on, Sarah.
19:18 OK, I just want to say that...
19:22 ..I know how much upset I've caused,
19:24 and I just really want to apologise for that.
19:27 And I know how lucky I am, like, really lucky to have a man
19:32 who is so understanding and committed and strong and caring,
19:36 and I love you so much, so thank you.
19:38 And thank you, everyone.
19:40 I just think this is the beginning of everything getting back on track, so...
19:44 Oh!
19:45 To Adam, Sarah and the bump.
19:48 Oh, I love it.
19:49 Cheers!
19:51 OK, shall we?
19:52 No, no, no, my dad's just gone to get his camera.
19:58 Nice, what she said.
20:03 I wish I could be that articulate after a load of people jump out at me.
20:06 Hey, shall we get a selfie?
20:10 Oh, yeah, that's funny.
20:11 Gents.
20:12 Oh, Brian, no, no, that's funny.
20:13 I need a pee, genuinely.
20:15 You can have a photo taken when you've got a full body, you know.
20:18 Oh, come on, Brian.
20:20 In fact, can we use your camera, cos your camera's better.
20:22 Yours is newer, innit?
20:23 Yeah, but cameras better take it, right?
20:25 All yours. All yours.
20:27 Come on, hurry up.
20:28 Can I upload this to my timeline?
20:30 Help yourself.
20:31 Get us all in.
20:32 Oh!
20:33 Say Johnny.
20:34 Johnny!
20:36 And pow!
20:37 Aw!
20:38 Ha-ha-ha!
20:39 Aw!
20:40 That was a good one.
20:41 I think that's it.
20:42 You know what we should do?
20:44 We should get a really rubbish photo of Ryan and Photoshop it in,
20:47 make him wish he'd sat down and been in it.
20:49 Oh, right, another drink.
20:51 Yum.
20:52 Sean! Sean!
20:53 We're thirsty.
20:54 Yeah.
20:55 Er, why wasn't I invited on to this selfie?
20:58 Oh, well...
20:59 Oh, hello.
21:01 Who's that hottie?
21:02 Let's see.
21:04 Ooh!
21:05 Have you just posted that?
21:07 I'm not being funny, Carla, but they don't look like Peter's pussies.
21:10 THEY LAUGH
21:12 What's this?
21:14 What have you done?
21:16 Er...
21:17 Oh!
21:18 Did you know?
21:31 About the party?
21:32 No.
21:33 No, it was a lovely surprise.
21:35 Are you nervous?
21:37 No.
21:38 What do you think it's going to be?
21:40 I think you should do it.
21:42 Do you not want to do it together?
21:44 No, I think you should do it.
21:46 All right, ready? Drumroll, please.
21:52 CHEERING
21:53 Five, four, three, two, one.
21:59 BANGING
22:01 CHEERING
22:09 MUSIC PLAYS
22:11 This has got to be Damon.
22:28 What did you say to him? How has he found out about the party?
22:32 It was not for me.
22:33 It wasn't Damon. It was me.
22:35 The baby's yours.
22:38 You've got proof. You've got that letter.
22:40 Fake. Like her.
22:49 This is your fault.
22:55 I'll just... I'll go.
22:57 When are we getting the quiet time we keep imagining?
23:01 Not while your family have anything to do with it, Ken.
23:04 Hey, this is at your door.
23:06 Mam, help me with it.
23:08 Oh, now is not the time, Gail. Go on.
23:10 Oh, yes, it is.
23:11 BANG
23:16 Why didn't you just talk to me?
23:18 Here.
23:21 This is the real letter.
23:23 I went to the clinic.
23:24 Turns out they don't give info over the phone like you said they do.
23:27 I can't explain all of it.
23:29 Not a bad fraud job.
23:31 I know a few criminals you could work for.
23:33 That's me, my fault. Sarah didn't want this.
23:35 It's true, isn't it?
23:37 The baby's Damon's.
23:39 Yeah.
23:41 Hey, it's me. I forged the letter.
23:44 I don't care. Honestly, I don't care.
23:47 Just stay away.
23:49 Honest mistake. I'm sorry.
23:57 I'm sorry. My stupid, big, fat sausage fingers.
24:00 Taking too many photos.
24:02 Private picture.
24:04 I know, Ryan. I know. I'm so sorry.
24:06 I really am. I've taken it down. I just...
24:09 I'm sorry.
24:12 No wonder the pub's on its knees if you've given Carla enough free booze to do that to Ryan.
24:17 It was a mistake.
24:19 And it's not like it was a picture of him slouching his wife once with a bowl of crisps on his big gut.
24:24 I mean, have another look at it.
24:25 Well, Carla's taken it down now, so...
24:27 Anyway, I'd best get going, guys. Thanks very much for the drinks, Jen.
24:30 I hope Ryan's all right.
24:32 I love the...
24:34 Well, I've screenshotted it.
24:36 Sean?
24:37 It's just a pity he's cut his head off, isn't it?
24:39 I mean, you should see the likes and the comments.
24:41 Show me the comments.
24:43 It's official. He's a ten. Hench.
24:46 They're all about his abs.
24:48 Oh, not you and all.
24:50 Oh, no. Ryan, I wasn't even...
24:52 Ryan!
24:53 Well done.
24:55 Well, thank you.
24:57 And I think your mother would say, "Not too bad, that,"
24:59 which is a very high compliment coming from her.
25:02 I wish we did proper things to mark anniversaries like this.
25:06 Mind you, if we were honouring my dad, we'd be having cod chips and a mug of tea.
25:11 We should start selling hot food in the shop.
25:13 Me and Ash are top chefs.
25:15 What, fight in the back room, eh?
25:17 You could start a Flight of the Wild documentary.
25:19 See who kills who first.
25:20 Yeah, there'd just be two orbs floating round the shop.
25:23 Yeah, but now it's not a documentary and it's like sci-fi.
25:26 No, I'm not making it up. Yeah.
25:29 Right, I looked it up earlier.
25:31 Orbs are the manifestation of energy connected to spirits.
25:37 Often seen in photos and videos,
25:40 they are believed to be the visible evidence of the ghosts of loved ones.
25:45 We haven't believed by whom.
25:47 You really think dead people hang around watching us?
25:50 Like, see everything?
25:51 No, of course not.
25:53 This is like a lens flare or a technical glitch.
25:56 Come on, Bernie, there's a time and a place. It isn't here, is it now?
25:59 Right, it shows that there's a presence.
26:01 That's all I'm saying. I mean, look.
26:03 Look. Look at that.
26:05 Right? It's right in the middle of the two of them.
26:08 I mean, that's got to be Sunita, right?
26:10 No.
26:12 Honey, listen, we are here, we are remembering my children's mother.
26:15 These are memories.
26:17 We're not trying to conjure her up like we're in some tin-pot séance.
26:21 OK.
26:23 OK, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to spoil everything.
26:26 Mum!
26:28 Sorry.
26:30 Please, can I see Adam?
26:38 Yeah. No, no. Yes.
26:41 No, no.
26:43 It's saying whatever comes into your head to manipulate people, Sarah.
26:47 Please, I just... I really need to talk to him.
26:49 No, you don't. You need to turn around
26:51 and take your cheating mind games as far away from here as possible.
26:55 Tracy, that's enough.
26:58 Thank you.
27:02 It's Tracy I was trying to protect from myself.
27:06 I think you should stay away, Sarah.
27:08 Adam deserved better.
27:10 Let him grieve for the future that you let him believe in.
27:16 You can still have that future, Ken.
27:19 Can somebody clear the trash off our doorstep, please?
27:29 Anybody?
27:31 (Door opens)
27:33 (Breathes deeply)
27:39 Fuck!
27:59 Tracy.
28:01 Aha! The wanderer's returned.
28:03 I'll walk you home, Sam.
28:05 I'm off to the pub quiz anyway.
28:08 Can I have your Wi-Fi code first, please?
28:10 So I can send photos to Eliza.
28:12 Certainly.
28:13 I don't want to use Zomba data.
28:15 I don't want the photos, thanks.
28:17 Oh, Eliza, can we drop this now?
28:19 It turns out I am too embarrassing.
28:21 I bet if my dad would have been there, he would have been worse.
28:24 And he's not as old, so there's no excuse.
28:26 What on earth did you do?
28:28 I'm proud.
28:29 Her grandad climbed to the top of the wall.
28:31 I saw her boy recording the noises on his phone.
28:34 They were all laughing.
28:36 What noises?
28:38 Er... (Clears throat)
28:40 Hey, it was hard work, that wall.
28:42 You make that noise when you get out of a chair.
28:45 Oh, can you just walk, Sam, home now, please? I'm tired.
28:49 See you, Eliza. Thank you, Stu.
28:52 I won't be late back.
28:56 Right, well, erm...
28:58 Can I get you some milk or something?
29:01 No, thanks.
29:03 Oh!
29:07 See? Why can't I just have a normal mum and dad?
29:11 You always were rubbish at hide and seek.
29:22 Leave me.
29:24 SHE SNIFFS
29:26 I can't go home.
29:28 I've lost him.
29:30 He didn't have to be so cruel.
29:33 It was me that was being cruel.
29:35 Kidding myself I could make it work.
29:38 I think it still can work.
29:41 Damon is the dad.
29:45 Only by DNA.
29:48 I mean, Max is mine, in everything but his genes.
29:52 For good, for bad.
29:54 Disastrous, you know?
29:56 I'm his dad.
29:58 The way I see it, Adam's got a choice, hasn't he?
30:01 He can either miss out because he's angry at you that you lied
30:06 or he can get over himself and...
30:09 ..he can be the dad of this kid when he's born.
30:12 Adam doesn't feel like that.
30:17 He doesn't think that way. He just...
30:20 He's never going to forgive me.
30:22 Do you want him to? Yeah, I do.
30:24 I really love him.
30:26 Well, then just go talk to him.
30:28 What are you doing hiding here?
30:30 I just want to start again.
30:33 No, you don't.
30:35 And do you know why?
30:37 Because this kid, boy, girl, whatever the balloon was going to say it is,
30:42 all right, it's ours.
30:47 And we'll all bring it up.
30:49 Together. We're all going to help.
30:52 He's going to need all the help he can get.
30:56 I mean, he's got Max as a cousin.
30:58 SHE LAUGHS
31:00 You'll be fine.
31:05 He'll sort it out.
31:07 Just talk to him.
31:16 You haven't got anything else to lose, have you?
31:19 So, this great big balloon comes bouncing out of the box
31:38 and guess what it says on it?
31:40 Go on. It's Damon.
31:43 Hey, is that about Ryan?
31:45 No. Has he not texted back yet?
31:48 How long's he been here? Daniel's been looking for him.
31:51 Oh, hey, how's Ryan?
31:53 Oh, he's not at the flat. He'll come back when he's ready.
31:56 I've left him a note anyway.
31:58 Right, it's about time I bought you a drink.
32:00 You can't keep shrinking your profit margins for me.
32:02 What profit margins?
32:04 Oh, yeah, I forgot.
32:06 Ageing it, it's not just you, you know.
32:08 It's all the pubs. They're all suffering.
32:10 It's all the businesses, actually. Our Lucky Bill's a joke.
32:13 Oh, no, it's just... It's today, isn't it?
32:16 Just thinking how Johnny would feel.
32:18 I tell you how he wouldn't feel. Sentimental.
32:21 He'd do everything in his power to make this business profitable again
32:24 and if it didn't work, he'd move on.
32:26 He wasn't a quitter.
32:27 No, he wasn't. He was practical. There's a difference.
32:30 Sit down.
32:32 That was quick.
32:34 Hey.
32:39 I'm sorry about the start. She deserved it.
32:41 Well, it doesn't seem to have made you happy.
32:45 I've texted her.
32:47 Told her to stay away from the flat.
32:49 I'm going to go round and collect my things.
32:51 Where are you going to stay?
32:53 Peter's sofa.
32:54 I should stay put and chuck her out.
32:56 But she'd probably cling on at the door for it.
32:58 Well, you are going to have to talk to her.
33:00 You can't just disappear.
33:01 Why not?
33:02 Hurry.
33:08 All right.
33:10 You missed pudding?
33:13 Don't worry, it wasn't made by Adi and Asha.
33:15 They've got it from the shop.
33:17 I, er, I saw her face in it.
33:20 I think it was Stephen Fry.
33:22 Oh, yeah.
33:24 Yeah, yeah, yeah, you laugh at me.
33:26 I get it.
33:28 Yeah, but what if?
33:31 What if what?
33:33 Well, what if there's... there's more?
33:35 Like, summit.
33:37 Somewhere.
33:38 You mean God?
33:40 No.
33:41 Don't know.
33:43 I mean, like, erm, like, like beyond us or...
33:47 after us.
33:49 I reckon we'd know.
33:51 What, by laughing it all off?
33:54 You never met my nan, but...
33:57 she believed there was summit more and...
34:00 when she was dying, she...
34:05 What?
34:07 Well, I've never told anyone this and...
34:11 Go on.
34:13 Well, when she was dying, she said
34:17 if there was a way, any way, that then she'd let me know.
34:21 And then the night she died,
34:23 there was an owl that...
34:25 An owl?
34:26 Come on, ma'am, it was probably just an owl.
34:29 What, in the middle of Salford?
34:31 A lost owl.
34:33 Fine.
34:34 Fine, your mother is Doolalita.
34:36 Oh, come on, I didn't say that.
34:38 Honestly...
34:42 I wish I could believe it.
34:45 You know, that there's something more going on.
34:48 If I thought I still might be around...
34:50 after...
34:52 or someone somewhere was looking out for me,
34:56 it might make things a bit easier.
34:59 Hey. I was just coming up to see you.
35:02 I only want a drink.
35:04 Is Jasmine home? I thought I heard her.
35:06 No, that was Alia.
35:08 She brought me something that I'd like to give you.
35:12 What is it?
35:13 Well, sit down and I'll show you.
35:26 (SIGHS)
35:28 (GROANS)
35:31 Not funny.
35:33 (SCOFFS)
35:34 Look, I'm sorry.
35:36 I know it's tough having grandparents for parents.
35:39 When can I see my mum?
35:41 Well, now, I am going to get your phone screen fixed, don't worry, but...
35:46 There you are.
35:48 So when your video call your mam,
35:52 you'll be able to see her face clearly.
35:55 I mean, you know, I might be some old fuddy-duddy.
35:58 A what?
35:59 A fuddy-duddy. An old codger.
36:01 But I do know my tech.
36:04 Well, at least Alia does, and she kindly went out and picked it up for me.
36:08 Thank you.
36:10 So... am I forgiven?
36:13 OK.
36:15 Great. Right, well, you get yourself off to bed and I'll bring you that milk.
36:19 (GROANS)
36:21 (BOTH LAUGH)
36:24 (DOOR OPENS)
36:26 Oh!
36:28 You're here. I was going to send out the sniffer dogs.
36:31 Nice evening.
36:33 Well, it was.
36:36 Till I ruined it. I'm so sorry, lovey.
36:38 All right.
36:40 At least I'll have a new picture to throw at the dartboard.
36:43 Jen and Daisy can name for me bellybutton.
36:45 What? Oh, Ryan, do you really even care what either of them thinks?
36:50 I mean, maybe what one of them thinks. Maybe the Daisy one.
36:54 Would that make it easier for you, if I was upset because of her,
36:57 rather than because you made me look like a proper tool?
37:00 Love, I didn't!
37:02 I didn't. If anybody looked like a proper tool, it was me.
37:06 I've not felt so incompetent since the day I sent a reply-all to the entire workforce,
37:11 asking if they thought Bess should tone down her outfit.
37:14 Doesn't come close.
37:16 Oh, Ryan, listen, I can't keep apologising.
37:19 I'll tell you this, two things.
37:21 It wasn't the best day for me today, what with it being my dead dad's birthday,
37:25 and number two, everybody thought you were hot.
37:28 Yeah, right, yeah. Yeah, right.
37:31 Should have seen the comments.
37:33 And that's what Daisy was looking at in the pub, by the way.
37:36 You know, everybody said you were hench, whatever that means.
37:39 I presume it's good.
37:41 Hey, I'll get Sean to send you the comments on a screenshot.
37:46 Right, I need to do my cardio.
37:49 Oh, I forgot to say it, Ryan. No, have a beer with me.
37:52 Listen, it's not healthy to do exercise more than once a day, or once a month in my case.
37:57 You need some chill time.
38:00 Here.
38:02 Three, two, one, stop!
38:08 Right, you'll go, Addy.
38:10 Oi! Two plates and a pan?
38:12 It was more than you managed on your last go.
38:14 Anyway, there's only one pan left, and it's all yours.
38:17 Oh, deaf phone. Is that all right, Dev?
38:20 Yeah, no, of course, and thank you, and hi.
38:23 - Oh, present. - Aren't you cute?
38:26 Look, it's, um... It's not about what you said.
38:31 Well, not totally.
38:33 It just feels bad that we missed the actual anniversary date.
38:37 - OK, see you. - See you later, Rose.
38:40 (Doorbell rings)
38:42 - This needs a soak. - You mean you'd rather be replying to all the texts you've been getting, son?
38:52 It really does need a soak.
38:54 I'll do that, love. Just leave it to soak.
38:56 - Ta. See you. - Bye.
38:58 I'm sorry if I was disrespectful.
39:02 No, maybe it's just a little bit mistimed.
39:05 Well, they say he sticks with what you're good at, and there's timing stuff.
39:08 - Superpower for me. - Nobody arguing with that.
39:11 Yeah, but we don't know, do we? We don't really know what happens.
39:13 - Don't start. - OK.
39:15 Do you really believe that Sunita's watching us?
39:22 Well, Sunita, if you are watching, I am doing my best with him, and it's not always easy.
39:28 And...
39:31 Listen, I'm sorry if I was rude.
39:33 Apology accepted.
39:36 But those kids, they did good today, didn't they?
39:39 Yeah, well, if Sunita is watching, I hope she knows what a good job you've done with the pair of them.
39:43 Thank you.
39:45 - Right! - Hey.
39:47 Leave that.
39:50 - I'm, er, bathed. - Oh, yeah?
39:53 Hey, shall I bring the pan? Let it soak with us?
39:56 Here we go. But just you will be fine.
39:59 (Sighs)
40:01 - Hi. - I thought it said stay away.
40:19 Can you just please let me explain?
40:21 Yeah, you got pregnant by Damon.
40:25 Well, I mean, today, this week.
40:28 I didn't... I didn't want to know.
40:32 I did not want to know the paternity test results, because I didn't care.
40:36 Because I have a man who I love so much, and I know he's an amazing dad,
40:40 and there's this innocent baby on the way.
40:43 Have you seen my headphones?
40:45 I know it's all my fault, but please, Adam, like, we could start again.
40:49 Like, there's no more secrets now. We could accept the truth.
40:53 Oh, we could become this amazing family,
40:55 and I know you love Harry like he's your own baby.
40:58 Maybe you could feel the same way about this baby.
41:00 Headphones.
41:02 Adam, I know I've hurt you.
41:04 (Sighs)
41:08 (Phone vibrates)
41:13 (Sighs)
41:20 (Sighs)
41:22 Sorry you had a bad day today.
41:45 Oh, Tom.
41:46 Jockeys?
41:48 Yeah, always. You going to share them with me?
41:51 No, I'm all right. I'm... I'm going to go to bed, actually.
41:54 Hey, did you read them comments I sent you over?
41:57 I reckon one jockey's not going to spoil that body of yours, is it?
42:00 No. Save me one.
42:02 Night.
42:04 Night.
42:06 (Sighs)
42:15 (Sighs)
42:17 (Whispers)
42:25 No.
42:34 I thought you'd be gone.
42:43 (Dog barks)
42:45 Look, Sarah, it's the lies.
42:52 Lie after lie after lie.
42:54 How could I ever trust you?
42:56 Cos now you know everything. We both do.
43:01 The affair. The DNA.
43:05 You even pretended the party was a surprise, didn't you?
43:08 Well, does that matter?
43:10 Yeah, it does, because it shows you how good you are at it, the lying.
43:13 Well, obviously I'm not, because you guessed it. I knew.
43:16 Adam, come on, please.
43:18 It's not like you've never lied to me, you've never hurt me.
