00:00I called the care home every day and nobody ever said anything. It was no change. That's
00:17all I ever got. No change. And then somebody must have seen this coming. You visited her.
00:29You must have seen she was getting worse. I don't know any more than you do. Debbie
00:36did have pneumonia a while back. Maybe that had something to do with it. Yeah. I mean,
00:43the human body is a mystery sometimes. These things can take us all by surprise. I'm so
00:49sorry for your loss. Rhys said that Debbie was a wonderful woman. Yes. Thank you. And
00:57who are you? This is Sonia, my landlady.
01:27What the hell do you think you're doing? What someone should have done a long time ago.
01:32Me and her aren't exactly friends, but even I haven't thrown her out of the house, Vinnie.
01:35I'm sorry, but she's made her bed, Mum. All this because I mouthed off a bit in the restaurant?
01:39No one trashes my father's reputation and gets away with it. Not while I'm around. Wow,
01:42his reputation. I've heard it all now. I did not sleep with that wrinkly old man. Do you
01:47know why he's doing this? He's doing this because his pride got hurt because I wouldn't
01:51go anywhere near him. Priya, you are not welcome in this house no more. What? And that's just
01:56sad. Are you just going to sit there? Last time I checked, this was your house. Sorry,
02:01Priya, I've tried. I've got nowhere else to go. You'd really just see me out on the street
02:08then, yeah? Well, look at the bright side. At least you've still got a job. For now.
02:17You are disgusting. That was a bit dramatic, given that Ravi and your dad aren't even here
02:29to see it. That word will get around. If Priya believes it, so will they. And she's just
02:34what? Collateral damage? Well, after this, Dad will give me anything that I want. Trust
02:39me. Yeah, I just spoke to the driver. He says it's going to be about five minutes. All right,
02:44darling. OK, so how about this? I've just spoken to Harvey, and he's going to man the
02:51phones for a week, and I've messaged Little Mo and Lin to expect you down at the caravan.
02:55Not this again. Kat, I worry about Tommy as much as you do, but you deserve a break. I
02:59promise you, he'll do the world a good. All right, so while I'm off drinking bubblings,
03:03painting my nails, you're going to be here in charge of Tommy and the twins and trying
03:07to hold down a job. You know, for years, I've... I've let Tommy down, time and time
03:14again. And of course, then, you know, there was the cancer. Maybe this is his way of trying
03:21to get my attention. Oh, get real, Alfie. He's not bothered about us. All he cares about
03:26is Phil. He wants to be a little mini Mitchell throwing his weight around. We need to stick
03:30together if we're going to get him through this. Just tell Harvey I'm not going anywhere.
03:35Hello, Kat's Cabs. Yes, darling, what time do you want it for? Biscuits. You? Oh, thanks.
03:50Thanks for having us over. It's been a long drive, and hospital canteens aren't up to
03:58Which way did you come? I mean, of course, the M1 seems the obvious route, but the M40
04:02is nothing to be sniffed at. This, um, we came via Rugby on the way down. You're the
04:08oldest section. You were built in 1959. You know, what a treat. I'd have taken photos
04:13if I wasn't driving. Take a day off, will you? I'll go and refill the pot.
04:23Come on, then. Talk to me, Sonia. Oh, come on, the solitary was not like you. First
04:48the stolen money, and now this. How can you not have told them about me? It was hard enough
04:54telling you about them, me. Look, I suppose I just avoided it. Look, we know we've done
05:01nothing wrong, but to them it'd be like admitting I cheated on their daughter. I'm a coward.
05:08When she asked you out, right? What was I supposed to say? Oh, I don't know. How about
05:13this is Sonia. She's a kind and respectable woman that I'm in love with. In fact, she's
05:17been nothing but kind and respectable about, quite frankly, this very odd situation with
05:22Debbie. Oh, and by the way, she's pregnant with my baby. That would have taken ages.
05:28Look, surely you understand why I didn't want to get into all this. They've just lost their
05:32daughter. Well, let's be honest, they lost her a long time ago. He was always very kind
05:39to me. I mean, once he got over the fact that his only daughter was marrying a man more
05:44comfortable around numbers than people, he was always very decent to me. Oh, he seems
05:50like a nice man. Her, on the other hand. Look, I'm sorry about what I said. I just wanted
05:58rid of them. I just want all this to be over with so we can get on with the rest of our
06:02lives. With the baby. No more lies. Promise me. I promise.
06:20Zak? Yeah.
06:28Please tell me you're working tonight. I don't think I can face Penny on my own.
06:32Well, I've just been to Martin's to do a quick show, and then I'll be in after that.
06:34Are you all right? Yeah.
06:36Wait, come on. She's probably not that bad. You used to like her, remember?
06:41What, before she set me up and stole my job, you mean? Yeah. I'll see you later.
06:46See you later.
06:49Why didn't you tell us you'd met someone? I know we haven't spoken much, but you shouldn't
06:54have lied to our faces. He's ashamed.
06:59I'm not ashamed of Sonia. I never went out planning to meet someone new. It just happened.
07:08And when it did, I realised how much I'd been missing out on. Because it wasn't just Debbie's
07:14life that was stolen. It was mine too. For years, both of us were just existing. And
07:25then I met Sonia, and, well, everything changed. I wish I could have given Debbie her life
07:32back, but there was nothing I could do. I had to save myself. Do you understand? And
07:39I wanted to tell you. I just didn't know how, and, well, for that, I'm sorry.
07:47I'm happy for you, Rhysa.
07:50You never loved her. Not really.
07:54Bren, come on.
07:55Rhys visited Debbie every week, like clockwork. As did I. I sat and held her hand. I didn't
08:03see you there.
08:05I hope you never have to see a child of yours like that. I wouldn't wish it on my worst
08:11enemy.
08:13I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.
08:17I know we should have visited more, but it wasn't our Debbie, not the way she was. Do
08:24you remember? So full of life. Always smiling.
08:32When that call came, to say that she'd gone, a little bit of me was relieved. Is that awful?
08:44I wanted to come, see her, but you never wanted to.
08:48Well, that needn't have stopped you. I offered to drive you, put you on the train.
08:52No. No, you stood in my way, kept me from her. Both of you.
08:58You didn't come because it was easier not seeing her. We could pretend, then, pretend
09:04she was off somewhere, having her own life, and one day she'd come in, say hello, and...
09:10Oh!
09:22She does this. Lets things build up. We'll have her sit down somewhere and she'll be
09:27right again, don't worry.
09:31Oh, there was something I wanted to run past you. It's to do with Debbie's care fees. The
09:37home seemed to think there were several months in her ears. I told them it must be a mistake.
09:42Actually, there was a bit of a mix-up. The bank stopped the direct debit. I didn't notice
09:48at first. All sorted now, though.
09:51Yeah. I knew you'd have it all well in hand.
09:56Um, good luck, you two.
09:58Thank you.
09:59Thanks. For being so good to my girl.
10:08Hmm.
10:21Now, I know you wish your mum was back with Phil.
10:26Tom, would you please just put your phone down, yeah?
10:30Thank you.
10:32So why is that, then, yeah? Why? Could you look up to him at all?
10:36What, because he's a real man?
10:40How about this?
10:42Come here. Come here.
10:46If you ever hit your mother again, then the rematch will be with me.
10:53Alright?
10:56No son of mine lays a hand on a woman, not ever, do you understand me?
11:01Now, men like that, your auntie Mo was married to a man like that once.
11:06And that's not us, Tommy.
11:07Okay, okay. Okay, I get it.
11:12You're a young man now.
11:14Now, I get it, your mum shouldn't have reacted the way she did.
11:16But, Tommy, you are not a little boy. You know right from wrong.
11:20And I get it. You and your mum.
11:23You and your mum batting heads all the time, maybe a bit of time away.
11:26You're sending me away?
11:28No.
11:29No, not you, her.
11:31Okay.
11:32Well, your auntie Lynne, she's going to the caravan and I'm trying to get your mum to join her.
11:35But she won't go until she knows that you're going to toe the line here with me.
11:38You understand?
11:40Yeah, so you'd be in charge, not mum?
11:43Yeah.
11:45So what do you reckon?
11:46What do you think? What we can convince her?
11:49Yeah.
11:51Okay.
11:52Excuse me.
11:53Alright.
11:54Okay.
11:56I'll wait till Zac gets here to unpack the rest of this delivery.
11:59Because I'm knackered.
12:01I'd actually really rather you did it now.
12:04Okay.
12:05So help.
12:06I'd love to.
12:07Except, well, one, disabled.
12:11And two, delegation.
12:14Yeah, it's literally the first rule of management.
12:16Why are you being like this?
12:18You nick my job, and then you try to get me to do it.
12:22Why are you being like this?
12:24You nick my job, and then you treat me like dirt.
12:27I'm treating you like an employee.
12:29I'm sorry, but that is the way it is now.
12:31And if you don't like it...
12:37Oh, and the cleaner's running sick.
12:39So you're going to have to do the ladies before we open.
12:41I'd wear gloves if I were you.
12:43It's like a war zone in there.
12:52Have you seen what they've done to me?
12:54Vinnie's chucked me out of the house.
12:56I thought he was the only human one out of them lot.
12:58Turns out he's just as bad as the rest of them.
13:01Well, then why don't you just get a hotel or whatever then?
13:04Oh, yeah, yeah, okay, I'll just do that.
13:06How am I going to pay for it?
13:10You need to talk to your dad.
13:12Get him to talk to Vinnie.
13:13Yeah, right.
13:15I'm serious. Unless you want to see me sleeping on a park bench,
13:18then you have to help me.
13:19You know you did this to me.
13:21You did this to yourself, right?
13:23I told you to make nice with Grandad.
13:25Not jump into bed with him.
13:27How many times do I have to tell you?
13:30Look, don't turn your back on me.
13:33You and Davinda are actually all I care about.
13:36Yeah?
13:37Then stop dragging your stuff around like a homeless person.
13:40For someone that no sees you.
13:42I ain't doing this for fun, Avani!
13:45Uh, don't suppose I could keep it yours for a bit?
13:48I'm having a bit of trouble.
13:50Yeah, I can see that, but I just don't see how that's my problem, babe.
13:53Uh, Jen's already killed my son,
13:55introducing him to that poison, so you owe me.
13:58What about this is funny?
14:15What are you doing? No, no way!
14:17Yes, oh, come on, none of that!
14:19Right, I bumped into Jack, OK?
14:21I know you're upset cos you didn't get to go and see Ben.
14:23Jack's got a cop out of you, you know? I've got a big mouth.
14:25You have me worried before.
14:27It's not like you to just go round in a mood.
14:29Oh, well, simple, innit?
14:31I'm happy, it's cos of Ben, and if I'm miserable...
14:36Not so many times I've just wanted to walk away, but...
14:39Well, then let's take you mind off things.
14:42OK, you can be my wingman, help me find a bad boy in my home.
14:45I'm just not in the mood, Jon.
14:47Well, what do you think the shot's for?
14:49If you want company, then Martin's having a big birthday drink in the square.
14:53Well, that just sounds like the straightest party of the century, doesn't it?
14:56Go on. You know you want to.
15:01No, I'm just not in the mood, Jon. Sorry.
15:03I'm just not in the mood.
15:06I'm just not in the mood, Jon. Sorry.
15:17I've just seen Priya.
15:19Ravani tells me you've thrown her out of the house.
15:22Yeah, I'm just sick of her dad.
15:25If Ravi and the kids don't want her here, why should the rest of us suffer?
15:29She's not family, not really.
15:32And the way she treated you earlier, I know where my loyalties lie.
15:40Get me a drink.
15:43But with work and charming clients, I'm exhausted.
15:48And I just heard from Mr Morris.
15:52We won the contract.
15:54He wants to put us on a retainer.
15:56So if you hadn't persuaded him to stay,
15:59Priya would have sunk the whole thing.
16:02So maybe you're right.
16:04And maybe it is time I let you have more responsibility.
16:13I'm just not really in the mood for being social.
16:16I'm not expecting you to do the hokey-cokey.
16:19But you've had a really tough morning.
16:21I just think you need to be away from mortuaries and sympathy cards for five minutes.
16:26Happy birthday.
16:28Happy birthday. Thanks for coming.
16:30I thought he was dying a bit of a death, to be honest with you.
16:33Um, Simon, sorry for sticking my nose in the other day.
16:37It's just the thought of you leaving the square, you know?
16:40Well, you and Lauren try anything like that again,
16:42and I'll emigrate to the Bahamas to spite you.
16:45Nice to be wanted, though.
16:47Yeah. And Rhys, sorry for, you know, getting all aggy with you.
16:51Obviously, I know you can wipe your own bum.
16:53Not that I've seen it. You know, I'm just assuming.
16:56Stop digging, Martin.
16:58Thank you.
17:00Anyway, I think I owe you an apology,
17:02cos all those years of marriage and I didn't know how old you were.
17:04Oh, no, yeah, there is a reason for all this.
17:06Yeah, a bit of a weird reason, but there is a reason.
17:08Right, then, everyone. OK, it's time for the party games.
17:11There's drinks I can manage for games.
17:13Yeah, I'll give you a head down if I see you.
17:15I'm sorry for your loss.
17:17Martin!
17:19I think his loss is not going to get you out of that one.
17:24There you go.
17:25All right, then, first one to the end of the square wins...
17:29nothing.
17:37Rhys, I heard about your wife.
17:40If there's anything I can do, just shout.
17:43My condolences, mate.
17:45Thank you. Thank you very much.
17:48See? Hang on in there, darling.
17:51The worst is almost over.
17:57Do you have any Darjeeling?
18:00Erm...
18:02I'd have to go and look out back.
18:04Er, or... Sam, will you?
18:06How did I end up with a marriage like that?
18:08I don't know.
18:10It's cos you'll find me charming and boring all rolled into one.
18:14Is Phil having trouble with some shifty little four-eyes?
18:17Oh, you must mean Rhys. He's our accountant.
18:20I saw him on the square before, and, well, Phil looked ready to give him a voice.
18:24No, he's got to be in his bonnet about this investment that Rhys set up for us.
18:29I think it's legit. Phil doesn't agree.
18:32He's got to be in his bonnet.
18:34He's got to be in his bonnet about this investment that Rhys set up for us.
18:38I think it's legit. Phil doesn't agree.
18:40But these things take time to pay off, don't they?
18:43And Phil's about as patient as my four-year-old.
18:46Well, he must have a reason not to trust the fella.
18:50Well, it came out that he's been rinsing his wife for cash to pay for IVF with his girlfriend.
18:56But those details don't matter.
18:58But now, Phil reckons everything the man does is dodgy.
19:01When accountant with money troubles, it don't sound too good, does it?
19:05I should give him a break. The man's just lost his wife.
19:09So, we've got rubies, ginger tea, peppermint, raspberry leaf, green tea, matcha tea, whatever that is,
19:16and something in a red box.
19:22Coffee?
19:23I was very aware that I was, like, just a tiny little cog in that whole Olympic machine.
19:33You felt like you won a gold medal.
19:35I sure did, Maggie.
19:37You have said Bill, like, several times.
19:44There must be someone here that'll have a tell.
19:46Find them. I'm begging you.
19:52You! You've been stealing from Debbie!
19:56That's why the care home fees were in arrears.
19:59Because you've been skimming off the top to have a baby with her.
20:04Listen, OK? I know how it sounds, but Rhys was Debbie's husband.
20:09Legally, he had control of her money.
20:11But it wasn't just her money. We put hundreds into that account every month.
20:15Oh, I was right about you, wasn't I?
20:19Liar. Thief!
20:27You need to go after them.
20:29I'll make good with Hugh, and you can smooth things over with Brenda.
20:33She hates me. Just let them leave.
20:35So much for no more lies.
20:37Every time I think I've heard the worst, another little gem crocks up.
20:39I can explain.
20:40Yeah, and you will, all right?
20:41But you cannot let them leave like that, all right?
20:43You need to make it right with Brenda.
20:45Well, hell, I don't know what to say.
20:47Well, if I were you, I'd start with the truth.
20:49And once you've told her that, and they've both gone home,
20:52me and you are going to have a very long chat.
20:55All right?
20:57Have I wandered into a parallel universe or something?
21:00No, he's just made himself a snack,
21:02and I've told him he's got to learn to clear up after himself.
21:04Isn't that right?
21:05Yeah, easy as that, was it?
21:06A cup of tea? Fun?
21:08Yeah, go on.
21:10You're not going to poison it, are you?
21:13Let me guess. You bribed him.
21:16No, I just said we were going to spend some quality time together.
21:21Look, Kat, maybe he was right,
21:23thinking that Phil's the bee's niece
21:25cos he's had no-one in his life to give him any alternatives.
21:28It's not your fault.
21:30It is.
21:31Not that you didn't play a part in it.
21:34Kat, come on, you know,
21:36I think you're the best mum in the world, all right?
21:39Well, why do I feel like there's a bat in there somewhere?
21:42I don't know.
21:43I don't know.
21:44I don't know.
21:45I don't know.
21:46I don't know.
21:47I don't know.
21:48Why do I feel like there's a bat in there somewhere?
21:50I never thought it was a good idea you'd marry him, Phil.
21:53And a kid moving in with him.
21:55I just wanted a better life for us all, that's all.
21:58OK, I get it, I get it.
22:00But the amount...
22:02The amount of stuff he's seen, the violence...
22:07And you add to the mix, you know, me not being around time and time again,
22:11listen, I'm surprised he hasn't kicked off sooner.
22:15Kat, you know, we have been racking our brains
22:17about how to figure this out and what he needs.
22:19He's told us what he needs.
22:21He needs a dad.
22:23A big, strong, no-nonsense style.
22:27It's the matter with, you know...
22:29Well, maybe someone who can, you know, keep him in line
22:33and teach him a few things.
22:35I know you love him, but no-nonsense is not your style.
22:39OK, well, maybe it's time I changed my style.
22:42Go to the caravan with your sisters, yeah?
22:45I think you'd do you the world of good
22:47if you didn't tell me you were having a bit of time apart.
22:50Maybe I might be able to get through to him.
22:53OK, come on.
22:55The amount of times you've shut me down because I didn't step up,
22:58please let me just do this, yeah?
23:02You all right? OK.
23:04But I'm taking the twins with me.
23:06If you want this to work, you need to focus on him.
23:09But don't you underestimate him, all right?
23:13Boys, pack your bags. We're going to see your aunts.
23:16Woo!
23:36You might have missed Bin Day.
23:38Oh, was I supposed to be flirting?
23:41Binny chucked me out of the house.
23:43Some big show of loyalty to his dad.
23:45Right, he's a bit harsh, isn't he?
23:47Never trust a banner style. Yeah.
23:49So, what's the plan? Are you going to stay with some friends?
23:52Oh, all my friends are in South London.
23:54My job, my kids, they're here.
23:56Plus, if I go, Nish wins.
23:58And I ain't letting Nish win, not for anything.
24:00Yeah, I wish I could help, Priya.
24:02It's just that our place has only got two bedrooms
24:04and, well, the sofa stinks of beer and curry,
24:06so you'd have to be proper desperate to want that.
24:09Are you calling me desperate?
24:11What?
24:12Well, cos it's one thing, Nish slamming me,
24:14but when my so-called mates turn on me...
24:16No, no, I didn't mean like that. Of course I didn't.
24:18The sofa's yours, yeah? I'll square it with Zak and...
24:22Look, I'll even give it a once-over with this, yeah?
24:25Freshen it up.
24:28And a takeaway wouldn't go amiss. On you, obviously.
24:31Obviously.
24:32Great.
24:36I'll see you at home.
24:42I used to think she only married you to spite me.
24:46Oh, she did a lot of things to spite me.
24:49I'm sorry, but it was nothing to do with you.
24:52We were in love.
24:54And I know she's your daughter,
24:56but you didn't know everything about Debbie.
24:59Look, I've made mistakes,
25:01but I've sacrificed thousands for Debbie's care.
25:04I lost my home.
25:05But I'll pay you and Hugh back every penny.
25:08Oh, no, this isn't about the cash.
25:11No, no, it's about you.
25:14And this act you're putting on.
25:16Act?
25:17Mm.
25:18You stole that money because you were dishonest.
25:22There's something...broken in you.
25:26Yeah, I sensed it the first time Debbie brought you home
25:29and I could never shake it.
25:31You're not good, Rhys,
25:33and you're definitely not the bumbling sort.
25:36You're not good, Rhys,
25:38and you're definitely not the bumbling sweetheart
25:40that you're making out to be.
25:43Oh, you might have fooled all them out there
25:45and all that Sonia one.
25:50But I know what you really are.
26:00I should be over there with Brenda, not stood out here.
26:04I know you're sick,
26:06but I think it's Rhys that Brenda needs to hear from.
26:13He'll pay you back all that money.
26:15I'll make sure of it.
26:19Did it work, the IVF?
26:24It's been a long road.
26:26But, um, yeah, it did.
26:30I always thought I'd be a grandad by now.
26:43You never liked me.
26:45I mean, why are you treating me like this?
26:47What did I ever do to you?
26:49You know, people used to joke about Debbie marrying her dad,
26:54but do you know my Hugh?
26:56Oh, he's got light in him.
26:59Whereas all I ever saw in you was weird little corners
27:04filled with cobwebs.
27:06Debbie got wise to you in the end.
27:08Yeah, she used to phone me up and tell me about your...
27:13..your annoying little ways.
27:16You're just saying that to hurt me.
27:18Oh, she could hardly stand to be near you.
27:21It was only a matter of time before she packed up and left.
27:27Tragic that...
27:29..she never got the chance.
27:33I am going to tell the police about you stealing our money.
27:38And when they start digging into you,
27:41who knows what they're going to turn up.
27:45Hmm?
27:51SHE SIGHS
