Transcript
00:00Morning. Did you have any sort out?
00:22Car boot sale. I've booked us a spot Sunday morning over by the common.
00:29I mean, it's a drop in the ocean, but we might get enough for a cot.
00:32Well, it's a funny thing.
00:34What's funny? You're going to lie to me again?
00:38Well, I didn't get a chance to tell you last night because you were working.
00:42Well, I made a few calls and called in a few favours and we should,
00:47fingers crossed, have some money coming in.
00:51Right. Well, that's something.
00:53Enough to pay the care home debt.
00:56Believe that when I see it.
00:57Well, you will see it. Today.
01:01Rhys, you're not making that up to keep me happy, are you?
01:06Well, I'll cross my heart and hope to die and have a flock of crows pluck up my eyeballs.
01:10It's just something my mum used to say.
01:13Look, so you don't need to worry.
01:17We can spend Sunday morning in bed.
01:20No. No, we can't.
01:23We need to do the car boot sale.
01:25Debbie's fees are always going to need paying.
01:28All right, so I suggest we tighten our belts as much as possible.
01:31I mean, one client ain't going to solve all our problems, are they?
01:34Well, you never know.
01:35This has been a wake-up call.
01:37And I am going to do all I can to make more money whilst I can.
01:41Extra shifts, whatever it takes.
01:43Well, I suppose it doesn't hurt to look to the future.
01:50Look, I need to take this. It's work.
01:54I'll be back in a minute.
01:59Sharon?
02:00Oh, yeah, um, I thought about letting you know there's a problem with the money.
02:05What do you mean?
02:05Well, it's taken longer than I thought to get it into the business account.
02:09Well, 13,000's an awful lot.
02:12Yeah, but we need it now.
02:13Well, you didn't say anything about being immediate.
02:17Well, look, the tax manager's going to have to wait.
02:19I'll give you a call, yeah, when it's in the account.
02:25Ruth being Ruth, I don't know how Sonia puts up with him.
02:31Stupid thing called love.
02:34Did you get any sleep?
02:36Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
02:40I had Bernie firing questions at me yesterday.
02:45Made me think how I'm going to get through testifying against Dean.
02:48I mean, I've never had a poker face.
02:51The jury, they'll see that I'm lying and then they won't convict him
02:53and the case will be opened all over again.
02:56Linda, you played a blinder when he was arrested.
02:58You've got nothing to worry about.
03:01Besides, it's months until September.
03:03You've got ages to practice for the trial, okay?
03:07And you've got to remember why we're doing all this.
03:10We're doing it for our kids.
03:13Now, I know it's triggering for you, but I'm so proud of you staying sober.
03:20Yeah, well, I just have to take it one day at a time, you know.
03:24Like they say at my meetings.
03:25Yeah, and I'm here.
03:27Whenever you want to talk, shout, scream.
03:31We've come so far.
03:32Okay.
03:34It won't be long till it's over for good.
03:42I'm in two minds about Dot Stringcat.
03:45It's just every time I look at it, it reminds me of her.
03:50I think I'll leave it.
03:54What was the call?
03:55Nothing bad, was it?
03:56No, it's just a work thing.
03:58Yeah, I'm amazed you're right about trying to earn a bit more.
04:01Earn more, save more.
04:02I mean, every penny helps, eh?
04:04Yeah, that's the spirit.
04:06I just think we need to get our thinking caps on.
04:07There must be more people around here who need a bookkeeper.
04:12Ah, how are you, mate?
04:13Can I get you a hard nut, mate?
04:14Just a big softie, edgy.
04:15It's only a couple of donuts.
04:17No, I'll be sitting.
04:18Tommy made a real effort yesterday.
04:20Yeah, that's what I said to him.
04:20He's got to, you know, learn the value of money.
04:22What, like you?
04:23Every pound you earn, you spend five.
04:26Now, if he carries on like this, I'll get him those trainers.
04:28How do you earn a softie?
04:30Keep it to yourself.
04:31Oh, that's what I meant to remind you.
04:32How do you feel about your nan's idea in the caravan in a few days?
04:36Stuck in a tin box with Nan and the kids.
04:39I'd rather go into labour with the twins again.
04:41I suppose I'll give Tommy time off for good behaviour, eh?
04:45See you later.
04:45Yeah, see you later.
04:46What are you doing?
04:53Oi!
04:55That little cow's just nicked some stuff off my stall!
04:58Oi!
04:59You know, Penny, I think that might be one of Ravi's kids.
05:01Do you want me to go and have a word with him?
05:03No, it's fine.
05:05I'll take care of it.
05:07The joys of running the market still.
05:10Oh, wait.
05:10There isn't any.
05:12Alfie!
05:12What?
05:13Get in here!
05:14Oi.
05:15Skyping!
05:16After only half a day?
05:17Well, get out.
05:19He's probably at the gym again.
05:22I'll give him gym.
05:24He's blocked that tracking thing.
05:25Where is he?
05:33Oh, I saw that Saint died in there.
05:35If you come to nag, you can clear off.
05:39Why?
05:42It's Lexi's birthday.
05:43And?
05:45And I ain't welcome.
05:47Still managed to buy some flights to go to America to see her dad,
05:50so that's something, I suppose.
05:51Lucky her.
05:53Never known this place so quiet.
05:56I ain't got you three running right, have I?
05:59Yeah, your mum won't be happy with you, you know, being here.
06:02Yeah, well, she should have moved us all in
06:04and let me think you're gonna be in her life forever.
06:07Thought about what I said yesterday.
06:08There's no point in thinking about it, you know.
06:11Your mum don't want anything to do with me, I'll ruin that.
06:13So we ain't worth fighting for?
06:16You angry with your dad or something?
06:18He ain't you.
06:21She still talks about you.
06:24Does she?
06:25Mainly slagging you off, but she slags everyone off,
06:28so don't get put off by that.
06:32She was so happy when she was with you.
06:35And look at you.
06:37So miserable you're getting banned from birthday parties.
06:41You still love her, don't you?
06:44Well, there's no point.
06:45Denying it, yeah.
06:46Yeah, I do.
06:47Then why aren't you fighting to get her back?
06:50Look, you cheated ages ago,
06:52and there's nothing going on between her and my dad,
06:54and she told me that.
06:57What are you saying?
07:00She wants me back?
07:01Yeah, 100%.
07:04But she needs you to make the first move.
07:09Listen, there's some of them snacks that you like
07:11in the cupboard if you've got nowhere else to go.
07:13Yeah.
07:16Shit.
07:20Raquel, you remember Raquel?
07:21No, I've never heard of her.
07:22What are you talking about?
07:23I've told you loads about her.
07:25You see, honestly, you never listen to anything I have to say.
07:28Well, maybe it's because you don't draw breath long enough
07:30for me to take any of it in.
07:31Raquel, man, the one with the pink lips.
07:33And the nails?
07:34No, here.
07:36Oh, my goodness.
07:38Is there any wonder why some women will kill their husbands?
07:40Yeah, so, anyway, what about her?
07:42Well, she's only going to open a salon on High Street.
07:44So?
07:45There's only three salons on High Street.
07:46I ain't bothered you before.
07:48Yeah, but Raquel did it all then.
07:49I taught Raquel everything that she knows.
07:51And now she's doing the dirty on me.
07:53Stealing my trade.
07:54Taking the food out of my children's mouth.
07:55Her and her miniskirt and her thigh-high boots at her age do me a favour.
07:59I should wrap those boots around her backstabbing neck.
08:01Oh, Raquel, I remember Raquel with the miniskirt and the boots.
08:05That's what you remember?
08:07Yeah, because she looked so cheap and common in them.
08:11Anyway, I'm not having it.
08:13I'm fighting back.
08:15Air-dryers at dawn?
08:16No, promotions.
08:18That's what I need.
08:19Remember when we first met and you were doing all that kiddies entertainment
08:23and that first night at your old flat when you opened your dressing-up box?
08:26Yeah.
08:28Well, I'm glad that you remember that because I'm thinking we might have to re-open that box, yeah?
08:37Rhys is amazing with figures.
08:39Rhys is amazing with figures.
08:40He always finds a way to save his clients money, you know?
08:43Don't you, darling?
08:44Yeah.
08:46And you'll have peace of mind with him doing the books
08:48and more importantly, more time to spend with your grandchildren.
08:51Thank you, but the thing is, I always do my own books.
08:54It relaxes me.
08:56Gives me a sense of calm in the whirlwinds of my life.
08:59So sorry, darling, but I have to pass.
09:02Hey, it's okay.
09:03You don't have to explain.
09:04You want to let me down again, you go right ahead.
09:06I don't get to spend much time with them these days.
09:09You really need my support right now.
09:10What with his recovery and that.
09:11Look, it's okay, yeah?
09:13Don't sweat it.
09:14I know your promises don't mean anything.
09:16Yes, Kim.
09:17No, it's okay.
09:17I can wait until you serve Sonia and Rhys.
09:19Oh, no, it's all right.
09:20We just popped in to see if there was any extra work going for Rhys.
09:23Oh, tell me more.
09:24You see, I've been recently let down over a vacancy.
09:27Very recently.
09:28What, you need someone in the salon?
09:31Well, sign immediately if you're interested.
09:32I don't think I'm in that.
09:34I think you could very well be, my man.
09:36You are? I can't cut hair.
09:38Oh, you think I'll be letting you loose with a pair of scissors?
09:40Oh, no, no, no, no.
09:41You won't be touching my clients.
09:43No, it's more, um, marketing.
09:45Marketing?
09:46Rhys is very blue sky thinking, aren't you?
09:48Well, the brain is the strongest muscle in the body.
09:50Yeah, would anyone like to buy a drink?
09:52Well, I won't be needed to drown my sorrows anymore, Nellie, eh?
09:56It's a lie.
09:57Now, look at you, eh?
09:58Buy eyes and bush it out.
10:00You see what I did there?
10:02Bush it out.
10:03Come on.
10:05Come on, come on.
10:06Tonight, tonight.
10:08Now, Rhys.
10:10This is all...
10:11What can I get you, darling?
10:13Can I have a Diet Coke, please?
10:14Copy that.
10:16I tend to try not to think about things.
10:19Johnny's organising a pre-trial meeting,
10:21so we're all singing from the same hymn sheet.
10:24Yeah, you're right.
10:25I said to Honey that I'd pop into Lexi's party later.
10:29Well, I just got her a little present.
10:30I hate to think about without her mum and her dad.
10:33Poor kid's having to go out fast.
10:35Catch you later.
10:38Linda, you seen Tommy?
10:39No, darling.
10:40Sharon, have you seen Tommy?
10:41Er, no, sorry.
10:43I'm gonna swing for him.
10:44Oh, what's he done?
10:45He's done a disappearing act when he's meant to be working.
10:48I swear, he's worse than my sisters growing up.
10:50Worse than you?
10:51Didn't say that, did I?
10:53I reckon the twins will be just as bad.
10:54You give it a few years and all you'll hear is
10:56me shouting out,
10:57Er, Ernie!
10:58Like a fazzled old big bird.
11:01Who you laughing at?
11:03Talking about kids gone wild.
11:04Brought this to come with Jordan.
11:06You ever seen Tommy, have you?
11:07Er, yeah.
11:08I saw him go into Phil's about, what, an hour ago?
11:10Phil's.
11:11Right.
11:16Right.
11:17Well, your new trainers are gonna be delivered here.
11:20All you gotta do now is make sure your mum don't catch you wearing them.
11:23Oh, don't worry.
11:23She'll never notice your stuff like that in any way.
11:26Don't tell her you bought me them.
11:27I promise.
11:28And what happens if a bigger kid tries to nick them off you?
11:31Then, who then?
11:33Double jab.
11:34Uppercut.
11:35And boot to the car.
11:38Why aren't you at work?
11:40I'm taking a personal day.
11:42I'll give you personal day!
11:43Just pop round and say hello.
11:46Yeah?
11:47It was hello followed by,
11:48will you buy me those trainers my mum says I can't have?
11:51You see, I don't mind.
11:53I'll buy some for the twins as well if you want.
11:55What I want is for you to stay well clear of my boys.
11:57See, that ain't fair.
11:59You can't expect me to quite amount my life just because you have.
12:03I, I know it's complicated.
12:05Well, it don't have to be.
12:09I miss you, Kat, you know.
12:12And Tommy tells me that you miss me too.
12:16You think I miss him?
12:17I know you do.
12:18I miss Thrash more than I miss him.
12:22Listen, the truth is I'm, I'm no good without you.
12:28Yeah, I know I cheated, yeah.
12:30But I'm not proud of that.
12:31But I must have paid the price by now, haven't I?
12:35And you and me, we could try again.
12:37We could give it another go.
12:40What do you think?
12:41Can't you be more like a fox?
13:07How?
13:08Like, you know, swish your tail around.
13:09Or twerk.
13:12Yeah, twerk.
13:13You know, like, you know, twerk.
13:15Take your money and make love, yeah?
13:17I can't do that.
13:19Well, why don't you interview the public, you know?
13:21Let them know that a fox in here is a fun and luxurious place to get pampered, yeah?
13:25Come to Fox in here and be pampered, yeah?
13:28Come to Fox in here and be pampered.
13:30Yeah, that's it, that's it.
13:32And smile.
13:32Come to Fox in here and be pampered.
13:35Smile.
13:36Come to Fox in here and be pampered.
13:40This is what Kim meant by marketing.
13:42You're not being pampered?
13:44No, not really.
13:46You do make a wonderful fox.
13:49You're doing great.
13:50I'm like we said, every penny counts.
13:53Even if I do feel like a complete idiot.
13:56I'm proud.
13:57Come to Fox in here and be pampered.
14:01Come to Fox in here and be pampered.
14:02Come to Fox in here and be pampered.
14:04Come to Fox in here and be pampered.
14:07Come to Fox in here and be pampered.
14:09Well, it don't matter what I say.
14:10You're going to be too stubborn to move on with me.
14:13I have moved on.
14:14You're the one wanting to go backwards.
14:27You call that moving on?
14:28I moved on the minute I saw you for the lying, cheating thug you are.
14:32You had me, me.
14:34And no man cheats on me and is forgiven.
14:35You can stop getting into his head, yeah?
14:37In some pathetic attempt to win me back.
14:41Just tell me who put the idea in my head.
14:44It was only five minutes ago.
14:45You wanted me and your dad to get back together.
14:47Yeah, and you said no because you want to be with Phil.
14:48In what world?
14:49Even if you don't want to get back with him, I'm coming to live here.
14:51Oh, don't talk stupid.
14:52I hate to act, Dad.
14:53You always act like a kid.
14:54Phil's a proper dad.
14:55Oh, yeah, a dad whose kids move out the minute they can.
14:59Look at this dump.
15:01You want to get a cleaner before you become one of those holders.
15:04I don't need you coming round here telling me what to do.
15:06And I don't need you having him round here about my say-so.
15:09You stop being a dad to those boys the minute you jumped into bed with that old tart.
15:13Home now.
15:14This is my home, Phil.
15:15Tell her.
15:16It don't hurt, you know, for him to pop round from time to time, does it?
15:21Tommy, get home.
15:24I don't care how sorry you are or how your life is falling to pieces
15:30because you broke my heart.
15:35Come on, home.
15:40I've got to go, anyways.
15:42You especially do what your mum tells you to do, don't you?
16:04Oh, yes.
16:07There is nothing like a pickled onion and a battered savoy to perk up your afternoon.
16:14I thought Georgie's haddock on a low heat.
16:17How's the wrapping going?
16:19Awful, and I just got a paper cut.
16:21Why, you want me to take over?
16:23I'll do what you want.
16:26Look, we always knew he was never going to plead guilty.
16:29He's never been to do anything, has he?
16:31Despite what Sharon says, I can't face him in court.
16:35I can't.
16:37Yes, you can.
16:40Will you be there at the trial?
16:45We'll all be there, and you know what we'll see?
16:49Your strength and your courage.
16:53You giving evidence will put Dean Weeks away for a very long time.
17:01I need the bathroom.
17:26Come to Ferguson.
17:28Come to Ferguson, Hanson.
17:31Come to Ferguson, here in Midtown, please.
17:35I can't remember.
17:37I've got to be joking.
17:41Is Devinder definitely coming home next week, Ben?
17:44Yeah, yeah, he's going to have to rest up though, you know, before he starts this whole
17:50dialysis thing and whatnot.
17:53Oi!
17:56Dialysis thing and whatnot.
18:00Oi!
18:02That'll be 25 quid.
18:05Oi!
18:07That'll be 25 quid.
18:08What will it be?
18:09The tops she took from my store this morning and didn't bother paying for.
18:13I don't know what she's talking about.
18:15How thick are you?
18:16Oi, don't talk to me on the door like that.
18:17I know where you live, and my dad's a detective,
18:19so you've got to be really stupid to steal from me.
18:21Right, fine.
18:22I'll bring it back later, OK?
18:24They were ugly anyways.
18:26Who you going to nick him for?
18:27You've got allowance for that.
18:29Yeah, well, I spent it all, didn't I?
18:32I don't have anything to wear for Tasha's party,
18:34and usually I would have wore something of mum's,
18:36but I'm not exactly talking to her, am I?
18:38So you want to sort your kids out.
18:40She said you'll get it back.
18:43You come anywhere near my stall again, and I'll have you.
18:46How am I meant to bring the tops back then?
18:51You OK?
18:53Apart from running a market stall.
18:54Yeah, I'm on top of the world.
18:57Avani, you do not steal.
18:59If you say so.
19:00Look, I don't care how your mother raised you, yeah?
19:02But my daughter ain't no thief, you know?
19:04If you want something, come to me.
19:08Oh, Sharon, any word on the money?
19:11Old it should have gone through by now.
19:13Come by the gym later, and I'll sort it, yeah?
19:15You might want to change the outfit.
19:22Sharon, got money?
19:30Oh, mum.
19:47Mum?
19:50Grandma said she thought you were drinking again.
19:52Clearly, that was one of her rare understatements.
19:55I was just getting myself in the party spirit.
19:59What, for a 12-year-old's birthday?
20:01Don't worry.
20:02I won't embarrass anyone.
20:04Yeah, because you're not going.
20:05What?
20:06Why, mum?
20:07You have been doing so well.
20:10You know why.
20:12The trial's not until September, OK?
20:14Dean is locked away on remand until then.
20:16What about after, when he walks free?
20:20He is not going to.
20:22He didn't do it!
20:25Yeah, I killed Keanu.
20:27Me!
20:29There isn't enough evidence against him.
20:32There is enough, OK?
20:33For him to be arrested, charged, and denied bail.
20:37Just...
20:38Just give me the bottle, mum.
20:48I'm sorry.
20:50I get it.
20:52I get it.
20:54I can only imagine half the hell that you're going through.
20:56I'm sorry.
20:58I'm here.
21:05It's just not where I saw my life was heading, you know?
21:08A clothes store on a backstreet market.
21:11So do something about it.
21:13What was it like growing up in Paris?
21:15Paris isn't just high fashion and the Eiffel Tower.
21:19It's probably like growing up around here.
21:22Growing up, I wanted to be a wag.
21:24Right from when I was little, I told the careers woman,
21:26and she thought I was being cheeky, but I wasn't.
21:28And I don't care what team they play for.
21:30I just wanted them to be minted.
21:31Such a feminist.
21:32Yeah.
21:34Stay at home.
21:37Here are your socks.
21:38Smoke a cigar and you won't happen again.
21:41Thanks.
21:42Chelsea.
21:45You're running along now.
21:48I'm sorry.
21:49Yeah.
21:54Oh.
21:56Let me guess.
21:57A love affair that went all wrong?
22:00More great sex than love.
22:02That good?
22:03That good.
22:07I bet you get all the fit guys hitting on you at the bar every night.
22:10Fit and drunk don't mix well, Pam.
22:11Nah, take it where you can get.
22:13Oh.
22:13That's my motto.
22:15Does it do well, the bar?
22:18Not bad.
22:20So it could do better?
22:21Yeah.
22:22The one thing I miss about Paris was the parties.
22:25Especially the ones I organized and promoted.
22:28You were a promoter?
22:29Yeah.
22:30Did content creating, ran the socials.
22:32When people asked me about the trade in those bars,
22:35not bad was never the answer.
22:37I suppose I could let you do a promo night.
22:41I'll run it past Phil.
22:42If it works out, it could be a regular thing.
22:45Oh, it'll work out.
22:47Trust me.
22:48There you go.
22:51Cheers, babe.
22:53No, no, Johnny, you did the right thing calling me.
22:56Do you want me to come round?
23:00Yeah, yeah, I understand.
23:01You know, the same thing with my mum.
23:04Listen, I've got a few things to do here,
23:06and then I'll come round and see you.
23:08All right, darling.
23:10Bad news?
23:11Nothing I can't deal with.
23:13Oh, corporation tax.
23:15Yeah.
23:16So I've got the money into their account now,
23:18so you can make the transfer.
23:19Have you got the notification?
23:22The letter?
23:23Well, not on me, but if you'd like to see it,
23:25I can go and get it.
23:26Later, I do.
23:27What's all this about back tax?
23:30Well, I was...
23:32We always keep on top of our tax, don't we?
23:35Normally, but I've taken my eye off the ball recently.
23:37Well, I'll transfer it over and get HMRC off your back.
23:41Thanks.
23:50Stop that.
24:02Have I been such a child?
24:03You've been such a coward.
24:04What did you say?
24:05You heard me.
24:08What is your problem?
24:11I know it's not ideal, us all living in this flat, but...
24:13It's not about the flat.
24:15I won't freeze my dad again.
24:16Oh, do ya?
24:18Well, he ain't, and get used to it.
24:26Feeling all right?
24:28Linda's back on the bottle.
24:31Since when?
24:31I don't know the details.
24:33I thought I'd go around there later and check on her.
24:36It's the last thing I need.
24:38Linda back on the booze is a complete liability.
24:41Do you ever miss it?
24:43The booze?
24:44Yeah, most days.
24:46I admire your strength.
24:48Mum was never that strong.
24:49I just hope Linda don't go the same way.
24:52It's a bit morbid, isn't it?
24:53Being realistic.
24:56Listen, this corporation tax thing, is it?
24:59Don't ring true to me.
25:00No?
25:01No, I mean the tax stuff with the gym.
25:03That was set up when we opened, wasn't it?
25:05Well, you had Rhys.
25:06He's gonna bring me the HMRC letter.
25:08What don't seem right to me is you handing over thousands of pounds to some geezer
25:12that Sonia's shacked up with just because he says we owe it.
25:14And that ain't like you.
25:15I've had a lot going on, you know that.
25:18Look, I know I've taken my eye off the ball, but cut me some slack.
25:22Well, make sure you take a look at that letter, yeah?
25:24I will.
25:26Look, Phil, this is Rhys.
25:27He's legit.
25:28Now, when he brings me that letter, you can check it over if you want.
25:31Yeah, I will.
25:37Oi, where do you think you're going?
25:38Out.
25:38Where?
25:39To the cab office.
25:40I don't trust you.
25:40You're staying here.
25:42So now I'm on house arrest.
25:44I hate it here, and I hate you!
25:46Tough, because I'm your mother and you do what I say.
25:50You might think you're the big man, but you're still a little kid,
25:52and I'm sick of you ignoring me and going against me.
25:56You think Phil's that great?
25:57Alfie's ten times the dad that he'll ever be.
26:00Where are Phil's kids now, eh?
26:02Prison?
26:04Run off to another country to escape him?
26:06Or do you end up like Denny, dead at the bottom of the Thames?
26:10Phil is nothing but a nasty, selfish, evil piece of...
26:15If you think he cares about you, you're wrong.
26:17He's using you to get back with me.
26:18He don't care about you at all!
26:23You...
26:26Tommy!
26:27Tommy!
26:27Oh my God, Tommy, I'm so sorry!
26:29Don't touch me!
26:36You're gonna regret that you ever did that.
26:45You're gonna regret that you ever did that.
