00:00 [Music]
00:25 [Music]
00:36 Can I come in?
00:37 Yeah.
00:38 [Music]
00:48 I'm really pleased that you found a new buyer for the bar, you know.
00:52 Alright, keep it down.
00:53 Yeah, but we've been talking.
00:55 How much is it going to cost me?
00:56 Well, I know most of the money is going on the pub, but...
00:58 Yeah.
00:59 We think your favourite girl should have a little slush fund.
01:02 Yeah.
01:03 How much?
01:04 Well, how much we worth?
01:07 [Laughter]
01:13 Hiya.
01:14 How you doing?
01:16 Well, by the looks of things, a lot better than you.
01:19 [Music]
01:33 Best three.
01:34 Okay, okay.
01:37 Are you joking?
01:38 Bob, did you carry an order of bread?
01:40 Yes, he did.
01:41 And the next time you finish something, go out and buy a new one.
01:44 Oh, well, don't talk to him like that.
01:53 You alright?
01:55 I thought today was going to be a good day.
01:57 I just bumped into Gina and Anna.
01:59 Do you think they're going to really hate me when they find out I'm going after Georgie's money?
02:03 Firstly, it's your money.
02:06 And secondly, Anna's the one who told you about it.
02:09 Look, if we didn't need the money, if there was some other way to raise it, then maybe we could leave it.
02:16 Georgie's the one who kept it from you, okay?
02:19 And he did that because he knows that rightfully, half of that bar is yours.
02:23 And he's over there lording it up with Elaine, with your two daughters by his side.
02:28 I mean, you're going to let him get away with that?
02:33 Look, you're already the bad guy.
02:35 Might as well be a rich one.
02:39 This is London. He can't just disappear.
02:41 We know he got on the bus.
02:42 He must know where he got off.
02:43 The CCTV isn't clear.
02:45 Am I waiting for him to turn up dead?
02:49 Look, I want to know, is that what this is?
02:51 We have no physical evidence to suggest he's come to any harm.
02:55 And we won't stop looking.
02:57 Thank you, officer.
02:59 Neither will we.
03:07 I just don't get why you'd want to move out of number one.
03:10 Well, you can't foster a kid in a shared house.
03:14 Yeah. Yeah, I know, obviously.
03:17 But, um, but the toilets are so comfy in there.
03:20 Toilets? The actual toilets? Yeah.
03:22 Yeah, when Chantel lived in there, we'd be in there for hours.
03:25 Me and Mum still talk about it now.
03:27 So, am I hearing the right word here?
03:29 Yeah. Toilets, yeah.
03:31 What don't you understand?
03:33 You get comfy toilets and you get uncomfy toilets.
03:35 No, to be fair, the toilets are pretty good, actually.
03:38 What? No, I've had enough of this.
03:39 Listen, we're going to put the keys on.
03:41 Try the toilet.
03:44 It's a plate, but it's a T, basically.
03:46 Yeah, it's a T.
03:48 Right? Mm-hm.
03:49 No, I'm working.
03:55 Ooh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
03:57 How do you stop this?
03:58 Are you all right, Bill?
03:59 No, I'm not.
04:01 You want to have a word with your Stacey?
04:03 I mean, I'm practically a married man, yeah?
04:05 What are you talking about?
04:07 This!
04:19 Sorry about my stepson there, officer.
04:22 He's, er, he's got a bit of a temper.
04:24 It's a stressful time for families.
04:26 Yeah, he can be quite terrifying sometimes.
04:29 The Vint was seen after his argument he had at home.
04:32 But we never really considered the family to be suspects before.
04:36 You mean Ravi?
04:37 No.
04:38 No, no, no, he loves the Vint, Ed.
04:41 We'll be keeping all avenues of investigation open.
04:44 OK, thanks.
04:48 Want to tell me what that was about?
04:57 I mean, we have a lot of banter, you know, but that's just market talk, innit?
05:02 And Garmin, you know, she is, she is a good-looking girl, but...
05:07 Think, all these years she's been holding a candle for me.
05:10 Billy, mate, this is not Stacey.
05:13 What is it?
05:17 Why are you looking at me like that?
05:20 Stacey's.
05:28 What?
05:29 No, I would never send you messages like this.
05:32 Yeah, no offence, don't, Bill.
05:34 This has to be Theo pretending to be me. It's got to be.
05:37 Yeah, well, I'm going to kill him.
05:38 No, Martin, please, you're just going to make it worse.
05:41 Well, we've got to do something, Stace.
05:42 We'll have to tell everyone that my account has been cloned and any weird messages are not from me.
05:48 Yeah, well, do the same for me, too, so I can tell everyone how I really feel about them.
05:51 No, Fred, I can't even joke about this.
05:57 Look, I'm not saying that. I'm just trying to gauge the level of your need.
06:01 So, do you need a new handbag?
06:03 No.
06:04 Or a new car?
06:05 Oh, so it's one or the other, is it? Charming.
06:12 A bottle of your finest champagne, please.
06:14 Oh, you celebrating? Them little devil horns work their way through, have they?
06:20 I hear you're selling our bar in Marbella.
06:24 I want half the money.
06:33 I saw you whisper into that copper. He stopped talking when I came along.
06:37 Why are you covering for a police officer? The guilt is written all over your face, Sookie.
06:42 I didn't want to upset you.
06:43 Upset me?
06:44 It's the truth.
06:45 My son's gone missing. I can't be any more upset.
06:47 Tell us what he said.
06:49 He asked if I thought you could have had any involvement in the vendor's disappearance.
06:57 What?
06:58 They think... They think I hurt him.
07:00 I told them there was no way.
07:02 You didn't think you'd drop me in it or something?
07:04 I'm not going to waste police time. I want the vendor found.
07:10 And who put that idea in their heads?
07:11 I don't know.
07:14 Yeah, I reckon I do.
07:18 Who's side are you on?
07:21 Girls, this is not about side.
07:23 She had a right to know.
07:24 Why? She walked away from that bar. She didn't give it a second thought. She didn't give you a second thought.
07:28 She's not a monster, all right?
07:30 Oh, how do you define monster?
07:32 You guys are making it out like she's such an awful person.
07:35 Yeah, for a reason.
07:37 I can't forgive her for walking away from you.
07:39 She hates herself for what she had to do.
07:42 She does.
07:44 And she's forgiven Bobby, which shows she's trying to be a good person.
07:47 Oh, come on.
07:48 You don't know your mum like I do.
07:50 She'll say whatever she needs to say to get what she wants. It's all an act.
07:53 That's not true.
07:56 Look, she guilt-tripped you into telling her about the bar.
07:59 Now she's coming at us for thousands.
08:01 She's so sorry for what she did.
08:05 She was so nice to you yesterday.
08:07 It was one moment.
08:09 But now she's showing her true colours.
08:13 That money's hers. And you know it.
08:17 Anna.
08:23 Am I the problem here?
08:24 I mean, is Rose...
08:25 Is she capable of judging?
08:28 That woman has lived a life of lies for far too long. Not a chance in hell.
08:33 She's rotten to the core and you know it.
08:35 Yeah, but I'm never going to convince Anna of that, am I?
08:37 And Cindy ain't going anywhere anytime soon.
08:40 So what you thinking?
08:41 I'm thinking I'm tired of all these arguments.
08:44 Maybe it's time we just keep our enemies close.
08:52 OK, thank you.
08:53 Thank you.
08:54 I'll see you in a couple of months, all right?
08:58 Is this some sort of twisted revenge?
09:00 Are you trying to destroy my life?
09:02 I think you're quite capable of doing that for yourself.
09:05 It was you, weren't it?
09:06 I don't know what you're talking about.
09:07 You told the police I did something to Nugget.
09:11 I did what?
09:13 Or was it both of you?
09:15 Were you working together, then?
09:16 You've just been paranoid now and none of this is going to help bring him back.
09:19 I'm paranoid.
09:20 And where do you get off blaming everyone else?
09:23 You killed Ranvir and when Nugget found out, he ran a mile.
09:28 From you!
09:30 So if you're looking for someone to blame, just look in the mirror.
09:39 You say a word about me to anyone, I swear on my life to my last breath,
09:46 I will burn and destroy everything and everyone around you.
10:03 Ah, I hope you got a solicitor in time.
10:08 We're not here for an argument and we don't want this to get unnecessarily complicated.
10:12 I agree.
10:13 I'll send you my bank details.
10:16 The bar did belong to you as well.
10:18 But when you abandoned it, your legal position changed.
10:22 And in those nine years, so did the value.
10:24 It's a joke!
10:26 What I'm trying to say is, I just don't want to sit each other's throats the whole time.
10:31 But that's going to take a serious conversation.
10:34 So, maybe dinner tonight?
10:39 I'd prefer a chat with your solicitor.
10:41 We'll be there.
10:42 Excellent. See you at seven.
10:44 Come hungry. He's very handy in the kitchen.
10:49 Oh, I remember.
11:01 Yeah, I do know the kids. I haven't seen him.
11:04 I'll keep an eye out for him for you.
11:06 Thanks.
11:10 Someone else has always got it worse off than you, hasn't they?
11:13 Well, I don't know, Stacey. You're having it pretty rough at the minute.
11:17 No one else has had messages, have they?
11:19 It don't matter, does it? They know it, won't you?
11:21 Thanks.
11:23 Billy swears blind that Hank and Lou weren't real.
11:26 Although he does puff his chest out and suck his stomach in when he tells the story.
11:31 Stacey?
11:32 Hi. Hi. Could I have a word, please?
11:34 Oh, if you've had abusive messages from me, you need to know that someone's pretending to be me online.
11:39 Yeah. Yeah, I had heard. Terrible situation.
11:43 Oh, right. So the one telling me to chill out about the overflowing bins, that's...
11:48 Well, no, no. That was me. Yeah.
11:50 Oh, right. Yeah. Well, they are out, Baz and Stacey, so if you could get that sorted. Thanks.
11:56 And that's what you get for coming on to our man.
12:01 You been all right?
12:04 No, I just got a phone request from Bradley.
12:07 Bradley?
12:12 I just wondered if you were going to stick this key to me.
12:18 Look who it is. Oi!
12:21 Oh.
12:22 You have got a nerve!
12:23 Martin, leave it!
12:24 Come here! You are pathetic, you know that?
12:28 Come here! Oi! Open that door! Come here! Talk to me like a man, will you?
12:35 Look, I ain't going anywhere until you come out here and speak to me!
12:42 She's coming for dinner.
12:43 Yeah, tell me about it.
12:45 We decided to offer an olive branch.
12:47 I think it's great.
12:49 What's it really about? You're going to talk her out of the money, right?
12:53 No. She deserves a share of the buck.
12:57 And if we're going to negotiate, it's better to be on good terms.
13:00 Yeah, well, she's not having it half.
13:03 She's just going to kick off.
13:04 I'll be civil, but I won't be nice.
13:06 He's just poison the steak. That'll be quicker.
13:09 At least they're trying.
13:10 Yeah.
13:12 And I know how important this is to you.
13:15 I ain't buying it.
13:21 I want you out of here! I want you gone!
13:25 Martin!
13:26 Open the door or I will smash it down!
13:28 Martin, you're going to wind him up! Just stop it!
13:30 Is everything all right over there?
13:32 Yeah, it's fine. Honestly, it's nothing.
13:37 They call that nothing?
13:40 I just hate that he's getting away with this stuff.
13:44 I'm calling the police. I swear to you.
13:47 Threatening me with violence, criminal damage to the door.
13:50 You're going to call the police on me?
13:53 You pretend to be her one more time and I am coming for you.
13:57 You need to stop harassing me.
14:00 I just want to be left alone.
14:02 So does she!
14:12 I'm sorry. I don't want to make this any worse, David.
14:14 I just hate what this is doing to you.
14:17 Come here.
14:24 Yeah, come in. Welcome.
14:29 Let me take your jacket.
14:32 Wow, look at you, squeezed into all that.
14:34 Well, I wasn't sure whether I should dress for business or pleasure.
14:37 Oh, and what do you decide?
14:39 Well, if I remember, doing business with George was always a pleasure.
14:45 And it's always better to do business with a glass in your hand.
14:50 Thank you.
15:00 Is that steak I can smell?
15:03 Yes, it's Chateau Briand.
15:06 The French don't pronounce the D.
15:11 And they don't cook it well done either.
15:13 I'm a man who knows his food.
15:14 How do you cope with her in the kitchen?
15:17 Oh, he doesn't let me in there.
15:19 He gets on my hand and foot, satisfies all my needs and desires.
15:25 I do what I can.
15:26 You do more than that.
15:28 And when we get the money from the bar,
15:29 he's going to use his kitchen skills to build the most successful business in Walford.
15:35 Well, we should drink to that.
15:39 Fresh start.
15:43 Well, make yourselves at home.
15:50 I'm going to check on the steaks.
15:53 Yeah, and I'll give them a hand.
15:55 Now we have a Michelin star chef to satisfy.
15:57 Remind me why we're here.
16:02 We are playing them at their own game.
16:05 And we are going to win.
16:07 Well, you don't need to eavesdrop.
16:13 If it kicks off, we hear it.
16:14 You know who was kicking off?
16:18 Martin Fowler.
16:20 Yeah, yelling and screaming at the door, you know.
16:23 He had a guy at that fiat, wasn't he?
16:25 Stacey had to drag him away.
16:26 Chase, I'm for nothing.
16:28 He's a wrong knock-up.
16:29 I want a whiskey.
16:31 Double.
16:32 No.
16:42 What?
16:45 Come, sit down.
16:54 Now, we've decided that our next venture is going to be simple, but classic.
16:58 I mean, people are just hungry for nostalgia nowadays.
17:01 I don't know why.
17:03 I like to move forward, not back.
17:06 But our next venture is going to be a pie and mash shop.
17:10 We think it will clean up round here.
17:12 That's the dream, is it?
17:13 Pie and mash?
17:14 I like it.
17:15 What, moving from a bar in Marlborough to a greasy spoon in London?
17:18 There's nothing greasy about a pie and mash.
17:20 Marlborough's fine, but, you know, it's a holiday place.
17:24 Sun shines ten months of the year, and it's easy to get swept up in the Marlborough vibe,
17:28 but it was-- never felt like home.
17:32 Well, try living under your own name.
17:34 That might help.
17:37 Blame me.
17:38 No, she's right.
17:40 That did play a part.
17:42 Living a lie was one of the hardest things I ever had to do.
17:45 I created a fantasy, pretended to be someone I wasn't.
17:50 I hated it.
17:52 Hated Rose.
17:55 Glad it's all behind me now.
17:58 Fresh start.
18:02 Excuse me.
18:05 Another bottle?
18:06 Yeah.
18:09 Hungry, were you?
18:10 She clearly don't satisfy your needs.
18:18 What was all that?
18:20 Glad to leave Rose behind.
18:22 I don't buy it.
18:23 It's called moving on, and maybe you should try it sometime.
18:26 We have. All of us.
18:28 We wiped you from our heads and turned that bar into a thriving business without you.
18:31 Oh, so you're saying I don't deserve my half?
18:34 You don't.
18:36 You're doing this out of spite.
18:37 You can talk.
18:38 What do you mean?
18:39 This is all about punishing me, isn't it?
18:42 I know you're angry. I get that.
18:45 Now, I am sorry I broke your heart, but hanging on to my money is not going to bring Rose back.
18:52 Is that what you see this is?
18:57 You still look at me with those eyes, don't you?
19:01 I can feel it.
19:03 No, wouldn't I?
19:06 You were besotted with me.
19:11 No man has ever loved me as hard as you did, George.
19:16 I'm sorry I had to leave you.
19:20 And I'm sorry you had to settle for second best.
19:22 No, Rose, stop that.
19:34 You're a good man, George.
19:37 An honorable man.
19:40 You know what I'm owed.
19:42 And the only reason you are clinging on to my money is because deep down inside your heart you still want me.
19:53 Let it go, George.
19:58 Rose is gone.
20:01 I'm with Ian now.
20:11 Yeah, I don't know the man, but from what I've heard about him, uh-uh.
20:16 But we should ask after his little boy.
20:19 No, no, no, man. He wants to be left alone.
20:22 Yeah, I'm with you, Paddy.
20:24 It's not good.
20:29 Um, I just wanted to say that we're all saying a little prayer for poor Davinda.
20:36 Don't pretend you care.
20:37 No, man, we all want the boy home safe.
20:42 Say, what's that supposed to mean?
20:46 What's safe from me?
20:49 Now go on, tell me what you're thinking.
20:51 Tell me what everyone's thinking, why you think I'm dangerous.
20:53 Paddy.
20:57 These people enjoy their drinks, son.
21:00 You think it's my fault everyone does.
21:04 Not if they're right.
21:09 Are we doing the right thing, though?
21:12 It don't feel great lying to Amy and Denzel.
21:15 No, it doesn't.
21:17 But Ruvvie's getting a taste of his own medicine. That's all that matters.
21:21 You need to tread carefully, though.
21:24 He was a mess today.
21:27 And the longer this goes on, the worse he's gonna get.
21:31 Don't you worry.
21:33 I can handle Ruvvie.
21:37 No, wait, I'm not having that.
21:39 Excuse me, he ran that bar for 20-odd years.
21:41 So did she.
21:42 She gets 25%, max, if that.
21:44 They were married. It's 50-50.
21:46 The marriage was dissolved.
21:47 Enough.
21:49 I pride myself on being a fair man, sir.
21:52 And an honourable man.
21:57 When the bar's sold, you'll get your own.
22:06 Well, here's to your new life.
22:20 I want to be a good dad.
22:23 I love that boy with everything I've got.
22:26 But...
22:30 I've done some terrible, awful things, and...
22:38 I feel like I'm being punished.
22:44 Can you change the past?
22:48 So I worry about it.
22:52 Take it from somebody who knows.
22:57 You know, the first months, years of my prison sentence was steeped in such regret.
23:05 Wishing I could go back and change things.
23:09 And you know what that made me?
23:13 Weak.
23:17 You're a good dad, Ruvvie.
23:20 But now is the time for you to be stronger than ever.
23:24 Because that's how men like us survive.
23:29 I think we should get solicitors involved.
23:31 It's fine, eh? You know, a crush of cheese, dot the i's and that.
23:33 We could do that, but it sounds like a tonne of paperwork I don't need.
23:37 You've known me a long time. You trust me, don't you?
23:40 Yeah, of course I do.
23:41 So, there you go.
23:43 Done deal.
23:46 Thanks. Good evening.
23:47 Cheers.
23:49 Night-night.
23:52 Your nugget will be in touch sooner or later.
23:55 And if he's still upset, then he'll call Sukhi or myself.
24:01 You need to spend more time with us.
24:07 Don't push your family away.
24:10 Last orders.
24:17 (Coffee)
24:22 Everything all right?
24:25 Ruvvie needs more support from us.
24:30 So it's time you treated him like one of your own.
24:35 Oh!
24:40 Oh, you've dropped that now, have you?
24:42 Don't worry about the milk. From now on, we'll be drinking champagne for breakfast.
24:46 No, it's a done deal.
24:47 Oh, yeah, verbal agreement. He can't back down now.
24:49 That money, half of it, is as good as ours.
24:51 Nice one, Dad.
24:53 Yeah, congratulations.
24:56 Oh, come on, love, you could look a bit happier.
24:59 It's just a long night, that's all.
25:02 I've left my phone there.
25:04 Get it in the morning.
25:05 No, I want it now. I'll go now.
25:11 Are you two going to leave that kitchen and that mess?
25:13 Go on, go sort it.
25:40 Are you too late for a drink?
25:42 I want to know what you're playing at. Why the sudden turnaround?
25:46 Well, you called it.
25:51 You broke my heart and I wanted to punish you.
25:58 Then I realised that I wasn't giving the money to you.
26:07 I was giving it to Rose. And you're right.
26:11 I've never loved anyone more than her. Before or since.
26:21 And if she was standing in front of me now, and asked for all the money in the world,
26:29 I'd give it to her.
26:34 I would lay down my life for her.
26:40 That doesn't really matter anymore, does it? Because as you said, my Rose is gone.
26:48 Ain't she?
27:00 I knew it.
27:02 You're still lying to yourself, aren't you?
27:06 I really did try to move on, you know. Built some bridges.
27:12 And then you come here, driving yourself on the end.
27:16 Trashing the life we used to have, and then trying to goad me into giving you the money by telling me how happy you are.
27:23 I am happy.
27:26 Yet all it took is for a few lingering looks, and then you forgot all about him, didn't you?
27:31 And then you betrayed these so-called values you have.
27:35 Well, now you've shown your true colours, Cindy.
27:38 Well, actually, Rose, Cindy, doesn't make an ounce of difference, does it?
27:45 Because both of you are totally utter trash.
