00:00It was a fly. Eight o'clock.
00:11It doesn't mean she'll be on it.
00:14Morning.
00:15Morning.
00:16Hey, cup of?
00:18Yeah, please. What are you up to?
00:22I was checking flights to Bucharest last night.
00:24But I told you Alina said she was leaving today.
00:27I know, but she's checked out the hotel. Maybe she's changed her mind.
00:30Right, sorry, why does it now seem like you're blaming me?
00:33You wasn't, aren't you?
00:35No, of course not.
00:36But...
00:38Look, I just wish you'd have called me straight away.
00:40Are you for real?
00:42What should she have called you about?
00:44Alina and a little boy who may or may not be his son.
00:50Oh!
00:52Hiya.
00:54You're not at work today?
00:56No, day off.
00:58What's that?
00:59Just that new controller.
01:00Before you ask, it is my own money.
01:02Oh, all right, relax. I wasn't accusing you of anything.
01:06Anyway, like I say, I'm a man of leisure today, so...
01:09Right.
01:10I thought, you know, we could do something, huh?
01:13Father and son, kicking it, illing and chilling.
01:15Oh, please don't.
01:17Oh, I thought we could have some fun.
01:19I can't.
01:20Hey, don't put yourself down. Even someone like you can have some fun.
01:23Right, well, I'm not in the mood.
01:25We could go for lunch.
01:27I just want to play my game, Dad.
01:29You can spare a couple of hours for your old man.
01:31Dad!
01:33Look, you cannot let this Mason dictate the rest of your life.
01:37It's not about Mason.
01:39Sometimes we've just got to face our fears.
01:41I'm not scared of him.
01:43Good.
01:46This is all just speculation.
01:48The kid may not even be yours.
01:50Yeah, and he might be.
01:52Yeah, exactly.
01:54I just want to know either way.
01:56But if there was something that she wanted you to know,
01:58she'd have got in touch with you a long time ago.
02:00And if it is true, she's still chosen not to tell you.
02:03If I was you, I would just leave well enough alone.
02:05Except you're not him.
02:07I can't just pretend this isn't happening.
02:10I'm going to work.
02:12Why are you encouraging him?
02:14It's called being a supportive mum.
02:16You might want to try it sometime.
02:18Look, you are confusing the lad.
02:21If you asked me, you never should have said anything in the first place.
02:24Are you being serious?
02:26I am too.
02:28That woman has wreaked havoc on this family, and now she's doing it again.
02:30Tyrone wasn't exactly an innocent bystander, was he, remember?
02:33No, but that's why we don't want to stir it all up.
02:36I know.
02:39Do you really not care that you might have a great-grandson?
02:41No, I don't, actually.
02:43Because I've got enough dysfunctional family
02:45filling my mind as it is.
02:47The sooner that one books for Bucharest,
02:50the better I shall be.
03:08DOOR SLAMS SHUT
03:26MESSAGE ALERT
03:29MESSAGE ALERT
03:37Morning.
03:39Oh, hi.
03:41I was just in the area, thought I'd check in. You OK?
03:44Surviving.
03:46Yeah? Speaking of survivors, how's the little one?
03:48Yeah, he's getting stronger, thanks.
03:51When was the last time you got out of here?
03:54Since the birth, like a week ago.
03:57You gone a bit stir-crazy yet?
03:59Yeah, getting there.
04:01Look, why don't you come for lunch with me?
04:03The bistro have got this two-for-one special thing.
04:08Yeah, thanks, but...
04:11..I don't want to leave Frankie alone.
04:13Well, he's not going to be alone.
04:17Look, Lauren, getting out of here for two hours
04:21is not going to make you a bad mum.
04:23OK?
04:25Just...think about it, yeah?
04:35Well, it doesn't really matter, does it?
04:37I suppose the longer and shorter it is,
04:39I've got no idea where Alina is right now.
04:41Well, you might not want to hear this,
04:43but it could be for the best.
04:45Leave it while alone and all that?
04:47I guess. You sound like me now.
04:49Look, whether you're the lad's dad or not,
04:51the bigger question is,
04:53do you want him to be your son?
04:55Or you could just tell me to keep my snout out.
04:58I don't want to fall out again.
05:00Look, we're not going to fall out, are we?
05:02I don't know, mate.
05:04I suppose after everything that's gone on,
05:06all the pain that I caused,
05:08it probably would be easier if he wasn't mine.
05:10Probably would be, yeah, but it's not that simple, is it?
05:13Then what are you going to do?
05:15Find out what my options are, I suppose.
05:19I'm lost for words.
05:21It's a pre-season against the Under-18s.
05:23It's hardly the FA Cup final.
05:25I mean, is that how it's going to be, is it?
05:27Are you going to start joining the prawn sandwich brigade?
05:29Are you trying to guilt me out?
05:31I'm just saying, you know, whatever happened to rain or shine,
05:34sleet or snow, whether you count it to our grave, we go.
05:37Do you really want to go there?
05:39What happened to Gus Garstel? Gus Garstel?
05:42Well, that is a low blow. I was in a very bad place.
05:45Well, I'm caught between a rock and a hard place.
05:47Well, I'm caught between a rock and a hard place, aren't I?
05:49I.e. the missus.
05:51You know, if Sally wants a night out, she wants a night out.
05:53What can I do?
05:54Plus, it's all credit in the bank for away days.
05:56Got to chalk it up, haven't you?
05:59Us single pringles march to the sound of our own drum.
06:03Ooh, text from Demi.
06:07Go on, then, don't leave me hanging.
06:09That's not what I'm doing.
06:10Interesting. Kiss or no kiss?
06:12What?
06:13Maybe she's missing me.
06:14Yeah, either that or her guide dog is.
06:16Hiya.
06:17Hiya. Hi.
06:19What can I do for you?
06:20Well, I was going to ask if you were going to the footy, but now I'm more interested in who's missing you.
06:26Oh, well, that's just a lady friend who P45'd him a few weeks ago.
06:30That Demi, is it?
06:31Yeah, that's right. Wants to know how I'm doing.
06:33And what exactly did she say in the text?
06:36Howdy. How you diddling?
06:39Any kisses?
06:40Uno.
06:42Ah, lovely.
06:44I reckon she's chasing you, so I'd play it cool if I was you.
06:48Well, I'll cause my middle name. I was thinking of sending her a funny gif.
06:51Well, nothing says cool like a dancing chihuahua.
06:53Excuse me, I'll have you know that I was going to send her the cat, saying,
06:57So, fair play.
06:59Do you want a brew?
07:00Yep. Don't mind if I do.
07:02I'm trying to avoid going home, but drama's turned up to eleven.
07:09It was so not what I was expecting.
07:12Well, all that matters is, you found the retreat empowering.
07:15More like life-changing. I feel like I can do anything.
07:18Well, that's because you can.
07:20But before you take over the world, I think table five are ready to order.
07:24Yep.
07:26Morning. How you doing?
07:28Er, never mind that. Come on. What's this big news?
07:31Don't I even get a coffee first?
07:33Er, later. Come on, spill.
07:35Fine. I was going to give her a big build-up, but cut into the chase.
07:40Willow, we'd like you to run the new resource centre.
07:44What?
07:48I'm speechless.
07:50I hope not, because we're meeting a potential investor later.
07:54What, later today?
07:56Well, I've not prepared.
07:58Well, you'd better get your game face on, because this isn't a drill.
08:03So, Fiz, it's pretty frazzled.
08:05This is pretty frazzled.
08:07I mean, it's not every day you find out your other half might have a secret love child.
08:12Unless your other half's named Steve, in which case it's his superpower.
08:15Yes, thank you. Very funny.
08:17Aren't you supposed to be on a job, Mrs Jenkins?
08:20Whoa!
08:21That's for you specifically.
08:24Why, what's wrong with Mrs Jenkins?
08:26Chatty catty. Let's just say she's very high on the decibel range.
08:29Like Brian Blessed on speed.
08:31Thanks for that.
08:32You're welcome. Don't forget your earplugs.
08:37Do you want another brew?
08:38Nah, I'm fine, thanks.
08:41Steve, can I ask you a personal question?
08:44Yeah, go on.
08:45If you were Tyrone, would you want to know?
08:48100%.
08:49Wow. I didn't even have to think about that.
08:53Well, otherwise it'd disfest us, don't you?
08:56But it's not certain.
08:57There's still a chance, though, right?
08:59A guy like little Ty's always going to wonder.
09:01But if a leaner doesn't want any contact,
09:04then there's nothing anybody can do now, so...
09:07Yeah.
09:09Yeah, I suppose so.
09:11Right, I'll get out your hair.
09:13Oh, actually, can you do me a favour?
09:15Mm-hm.
09:16Could you just watch the phones, please, while I just nip to the shop?
09:19Yeah, of course.
09:20Oh, you sipster.
09:21Oh, erm...
09:22If anybody calls, just take the details back in a bit.
09:25OK.
09:31Mm.
09:53Hello, Streetcars?
09:55Yeah.
09:56Yes, of course.
09:58What's the first name, please?
10:01Maya.
10:02And the surname, thank you.
10:05Sorry, can you spell that, please?
10:08B-U-T-T-C-H-E-E-K-S.
10:17Maya Butcheeks.
10:19Ha, ha, ha. Very funny.
10:21If I get my hands on you, you little sproat.
10:26Look, like I said, I don't know if the boy's mine or not.
10:29Alina didn't tell Fiz and I didn't get a chance to ask.
10:32Well, look, this is really more Adam's area of expertise.
10:35He will be back tomorrow.
10:37No, no, no, tomorrow's too late.
10:40OK, let's start with the basics, then.
10:42Where was the child born?
10:44I haven't got a clue.
10:46Is that important?
10:47Very.
10:49If he was born in Romania, that makes things a lot more complicated.
10:54OK, let's say, for argument's sake, you are the child's father.
10:57Do you think she'll have named you on the birth certificate?
11:01After the way things ended, I doubt that very much.
11:04Look, I don't know much of anything, Maya.
11:06I just know that she's here to testify and she's going back to Romania today.
11:10And that's if she's not already gone, cos I've no idea...
11:12OK, well, what exactly is your end objective?
11:16My end objective?
11:17What do you hope will come from this?
11:22Well, I just want to know the truth.
11:25OK.
11:26OK, well, then your starting position needs to be to get a DNA sample.
11:30Get a test done.
11:32Seriously?
11:34Tyrone, bottom line is, without parental responsibility or proof of paternity,
11:39you've got no rights.
11:46PHONE RINGS
11:48Go on, let me guess the names I have a big in.
11:51Oh, I'm sorry, love.
11:53Yes, yes, this is Streetcars.
11:56Yeah, of course.
11:59Erm...
12:01Yes, we've got a car seat.
12:04What's the name of the person, please?
12:09Sorry, say that name again.
12:39Thanks for that.
12:44You've got five minutes.
12:47You're having a laugh.
12:51Oh, you've already got solicitors involved, have you?
12:55I just wanted some advice.
12:57Advice, right. Well, I'll give you some advice and it'll be cheaper.
13:01You be grateful for what you've got.
13:05You be very grateful that Fiz is still with you.
13:08And be even more grateful that Romania Gate is closed,
13:12and be even more grateful that Romania Gate is closed.
13:16I must say, I've got the brains of a flaming rocking horse.
13:20Just...
13:24Hey, we could go to the cinema later.
13:26Yeah, cool.
13:27There's that new Florian Montaner movie. Looks good.
13:29Isn't that the big guy out of Creed II?
13:31I don't know what you're talking about. All I know is it looks like a very interesting film.
13:34Oh, yeah, cos it's not like you're super hench or anything, is it?
13:36I think I'm that superficial.
13:37I know you are. Just trying not to drool all over the popcorn.
13:40Although it is quite easy on the eye.
13:43Dylan...
13:44Second thoughts, I'm not hungry.
13:46I've had enough of this. Wait there.
13:48It's OK.
13:49None of this is OK.
13:53Dad!
14:00Do you want us an emoji for this?
14:02Yes. I'm aware of its meaning.
14:06Do I want to know how you know love?
14:08Never mind all that.
14:10We've got 50 carrots to slice.
14:13I want you fired!
14:14Oh, Sean, this is not the time or the place.
14:16He should be in prison, Yasmine!
14:19You know, I'm stuck right here.
14:20Don't get involved.
14:22You're a disgrace.
14:24The pair of you.
14:25Oi, no, no. Don't be taking this out on them.
14:27Why? What are you going to do, Mr Big Man?
14:29Are you going to try and beat me up, are you?
14:31Try and make me go and kill myself?
14:33Come on, Sean. That's below the belt.
14:35Is it? Doing to Liam what he's still trying to do to my son?
14:37Right, Dad, come away.
14:39How can you both be so stupid?
14:41Seriously, come on. You don't want to mess with him.
14:44I'm going to tell people. I'm going to let people know
14:47what kind of business this is you run.
14:49Oh, yeah.
14:50What kind of people you employ.
14:53You finished?
14:54Finished!
14:56I'm just getting started.
14:59And you, with you.
15:04You're fooling no one.
15:06Right, come on. You've said your piece.
15:08No one!
15:20Look, maybe we should have gone to the precinct.
15:22No, no. Relax, yeah?
15:24Hey.
15:26Hey.
15:27I heard about what happened.
15:29How are you?
15:31I'm all right. A bit tired, I guess.
15:33How's baby doing?
15:35Yeah, baby's all right.
15:37Getting stronger every day.
15:40Max just thought I deserved a time out.
15:43I'm not surprised.
15:44I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for you.
15:47I'll give you a few minutes.
15:49It's really great to see you.
15:51Thanks.
15:59She seems nice.
16:01Yeah, she's lovely.
16:03So, do you feel better about coming out?
16:07Yeah. Yeah, I do.
16:09Right, let's see what's what.
16:12Great, let's see if they'll agree to mediation
16:14before we issue the claim, yeah?
16:17Perfect.
16:18OK, bye.
16:21Babe, look.
16:22It's not me.
16:24Oh, yeah.
16:25It's nice to see you out and about, isn't it?
16:27Yeah, it's great.
16:33Bye.
16:51Hiya.
16:53Mrs Pop?
16:54Miss.
16:55And please call me Alina.
16:57Alina?
16:58OK.
16:59It's a beautiful name.
17:01Oh, what a handsome young man.
17:03And a tired one.
17:07Is everything OK?
17:09Yeah.
17:10Yeah, it's just the lad reminds me of someone.
17:13Right, come on, let's get you where you need to be.
17:19So, long term, we envisage the resource centre
17:22to be a key community hub.
17:24Very worthy, I'm sure.
17:26Allied to providing a healthy revenue stream.
17:29Now you're talking my language.
17:31Any other questions?
17:33Actually, I wouldn't mind hearing Leanne's vision.
17:36Literally my next suggestion.
17:37Leanne, you up for that?
17:39Try and stop me.
17:40Living the energy.
17:43Well, I've got to go to another meeting.
17:45No worries.
17:46Me and the oil can grind, I've got it from here.
17:49Fantastic.
17:50We'll chat later.
17:54Great seeing you again.
17:55Likewise.
18:00How wrong could Sal Kexter have knew this?
18:03Well, that's because he believes in the product.
18:05I'm sure.
18:07So, where would you like to start?
18:10How about a glass of wine?
18:12All the hard sales got me a little parched.
18:18Whoa, whoa, whoa, this isn't the shortcut to the airport.
18:21I'm sorry, love, I must have got a bit lost.
18:23This is completely the wrong way.
18:25Is it?
18:29What are you doing?
18:30Nothing.
18:34Since when did your mum start working for streetcars?
18:37She doesn't.
18:38Go, now.
18:40So, how come she's driving Alina around in one of their cars?
18:43Drive now.
18:44I'm sorry, love.
18:45Alina?
18:47Mum, what's going on?
18:49She's your mother.
18:51Busted.
19:00Oh, that's excellent.
19:01You know your wines.
19:03A woman of many talents.
19:04Ah, well, it's Nick, my partner.
19:06He's the expert.
19:07I'd neck anything.
19:09Right.
19:11I probably should get back to work.
19:13So soon?
19:14I thought we might take this into town.
19:16We could go to my private club.
19:17Oh, well, I've probably told you everything I can about the project.
19:22You said I wanted to talk business.
19:24When I invest, I invest in a person.
19:27That means getting to know each other.
19:28And I appreciate that, but there'll be plenty more time to talk going forward.
19:32Well, that's assuming I splash the cash.
19:35It's not a done deal, are you?
19:37I thought you liked the idea.
19:38I love the idea.
19:39What I guess I'm saying is I'd like to be wooed.
19:44It's a sizable amount of money you're asking for.
19:46With a sizable return.
19:48Even so,
19:50Rowan led me to believe I'd have your full attention.
19:54And I've given you that.
19:58Well,
20:00maybe I need you to give a little more.
20:04Call it an incentive-based agreement.
20:09Come on.
20:10Don't let Willow down.
20:15Please, just let me carry your bags or something.
20:16No!
20:18Look, I swear I had no idea she would pull a stunt like that.
20:21Honestly, love, he didn't.
20:22Why should I believe you?
20:23Because that's the truth. Please, please just stop and talk to me.
20:26There's nothing to talk about.
20:27All right, well, where were you?
20:28Please, love, won't you just give him two minutes?
20:30Why should I?
20:31Because my son is a good man and he deserves that.
20:34If you're going to be angry with anyone, be angry with me.
20:39You have two minutes.
20:41Use it well.
20:43Mums, eh?
20:45The things they do for the kids.
20:50Will, see something?
20:53Aye.
20:55Hello.
20:58His name is Doreen.
21:00Doreen?
21:02Never heard that name before.
21:04It means gift.
21:08Hey, Doreen.
21:10My name's Tyrone.
21:20Who's this?
21:22That's Ted, eh?
21:23Ted, is it?
21:24Ted, is it?
21:46Looks like you.
21:48Which has got to be a win.
21:51I am sorry about Cassie.
21:55I thought your mother was dead.
21:57Long story.
22:00I'm not being horrible, but she's very strange.
22:02Well, believe me, she's been called a lot worse than that before.
22:09Yeah, you had your two minutes, now I have to go.
22:11Well, what time do you play?
22:12In three hours.
22:13You've got ages yet.
22:14Tyrone, what do you want from me?
22:20Look, I just want to know if he's mine, that's all.
22:23I know you might not want to talk to me after everything that happened.
22:25I get that.
22:26But this is bigger than any...
22:27It's yours.
22:32Now I have to go.
22:33You have what you wanted.
22:38Say something.
22:43Look, can I buy you a coffee or something?
22:46Please?
22:50You're right.
22:52I needed this, thanks.
22:54You're welcome.
22:56Lauren, do you mind if I ask you something?
23:01Yeah, anything.
23:02Right, you know this Nathan?
23:06Does he know about the baby?
23:10You know what, it is none of my business.
23:12No, it's alright.
23:17He's not Frankie's dad.
23:20Oh, right.
23:22Okay, so who is?
23:27Just some randomer.
23:29It don't matter.
23:30Trust me, he won't care anyway.
23:31Yeah, but you know there's like child maintenance...
23:34Yeah, but I didn't have a chance to get his number.
23:36I was too wasted to even get his name.
23:40Can we just talk about something else?
23:42Yeah, yeah, of course.
23:45But you know I just, I worry about you.
23:50Yeah, I know you do.
23:53And please don't think I don't appreciate it.
23:56Would you like to see the dessert menu?
23:58No, thank you.
23:59Any teas, coffees?
24:02Best of Joe.
24:06Sorry, what did you say?
24:07Tea? Coffee?
24:09No, I'm good, thank you.
24:10Just the bill, please, Amy.
24:12Coming up.
24:16You okay?
24:17Been in a funny mood ever since we arrived.
24:20Sorry, it's just ex-wife I grow.
24:23It's nothing to worry about.
24:25Well, you needn't have come for lunch.
24:27Well, you know me.
24:29Any opportunity to spend some time with my fiancée.
24:33I'll let you off then.
24:36I'm just going to go and say hi to Lauren.
24:42Hey, guys.
24:43Hi.
24:44How are you doing?
24:45How are you doing?
24:46Alright.
24:47See you out and about.
24:48Yeah.
24:49This is our livelihood that you're messing with.
24:51And I've said I'm sorry.
24:52Well, that doesn't even come close.
24:55Look, I'm not trying to justify what I did.
25:01I've never done anything for Ty except break his heart and...
25:06I just saw this as a chance to make it right.
25:12Well, we've done dumber stuff, haven't we?
25:14Yeah.
25:16Yeah, the trick is not to make bonkers a habit.
25:22Kinses me as you bonked.
25:25You know what I mean.
25:27So, are we good then?
25:29Yeah, go on. I'll let you off.
25:30Tim.
25:31What?
25:32Yeah, let's just consider this a one-off.
25:33Is that clear?
25:34Crystal clear.
25:36So, if we're all sorted, can I ask a favour?
25:40A favour?
25:41Talk about wanting jam on it.
25:43Seems Mr. Prawnsani has, like, bailed out of the match tonight.
25:47What's going on, lovey?
25:49I was wondering if I could sit with you tonight.
25:52Yeah, go on then.
25:54You do know, basically, it's just going to be a kick around, right?
25:57Yeah.
25:58And I've got a three-season ticket.
26:01Like the song goes,
26:02Come rain or shine, sleet or snow,
26:05With Worthy County to our grave we go.
26:08Yes, hello!
26:13The last time I seen you, you said you weren't pregnant.
26:16Yeah.
26:18And you knew he was mine?
26:21The baby couldn't have been anyone else's.
26:23Why wouldn't he tell me?
26:27Because I knew we would never be together.
26:30That it caused so much hurt already.
26:33Well, we both did that.
26:36I mean, what's a lie about?
26:39What good would it have done to tell the truth?
26:41Bjornis, would you have really wanted him to be yours?
26:44Oh, no!
26:45Oh, no, I'll get him.
26:47No, no.
26:51Look, I don't know. I was so confused back then.
26:56And I wasn't.
26:58Right, well, what's done is done.
27:02So, what, you just, you went back to Romania?
27:05Yeah, only for a few months.
27:07Why only a few months?
27:08It wasn't safe for me back there.
27:10People were looking for me.
27:12Really?
27:14So then where did you go?
27:16I came back to Britain.
27:18Moved to Hastings.
27:20Hastings?
27:25So, so Dorian was born here, was he?
27:28Yeah.
27:31This country is all he knows.
27:33This country is all he knows.
27:42What's been, Grant, Sal?
27:43He was practically ready to sign when I left.
27:45Yeah, well, let's just say he was fishing for an incentive package.
27:49What incentive package?
27:50One involving me and his bed.
27:53I see.
27:55I don't know what to say.
27:57Neither did he when I told him to jog on.
27:59This isn't a judgement, but could you possibly misconstrue his intentions?
28:04That creep couldn't be more subtle if he was wearing a sandwich board with the words,
28:08I want to have sex with you, in big red letters.
28:12There was no way to let him down more gently.
28:15Well, he was lucky I didn't chin him.
28:17I'm not going to feel bad for what I did.
28:19I'm not suggesting you should.
28:21I know it must have been serious, given the obvious consequences.
28:26What do you mean?
28:28What do you mean, obvious consequences?
28:30The knock-on to the resource centre, of course.
28:33Even with yours and Nick's 20,000, we're still a long way short.
28:37Well, we'll just have to find a new investor.
28:39Where? Money bags don't grow on trees.
28:43Just worry, we're losing impetus.
28:48Unless...
28:51No, I wouldn't want you to feel a conflict of interest.
28:54No, go on, unless what?
28:56It just suddenly occurred to me that this might represent a wonderful opportunity for Amy.
29:05You know what? Forget I ever mentioned it.
29:08Unlike the Grants of this world,
29:10I would never want you to do something you weren't completely comfortable with.
29:19I mean, Hastings is what?
29:21I mean, Hastings is what?
29:23300 miles away or something?
29:26Did you never even think about getting in touch?
29:28We weren't together.
29:29Well, I still might have helped.
29:31I didn't need your help, I still don't.
29:34Of course.
29:36I bet you're a great mum.
29:42So, you and Fiz are married?
29:48Yeah, yeah, a couple of years now.
29:50Hmm.
29:52I'm glad for you both.
29:54Truly.
29:56Ta.
30:00Well, I have to go now.
30:02I thought you said things weren't safe for you in Romania.
30:06The men who wanted to hurt me are in custody now.
30:09Hopefully they'll stay there.
30:12I'll be back in two weeks.
30:15Well, for how long?
30:17I don't know that.
30:18I need to come and read a victim impact statement and wait for the verdict.
30:23And then?
30:25And then hopefully I'll move back to Romania forever.
30:29Forever?
30:31Well, I miss my country.
30:33I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but...
30:39No, no, I know you've got to do what you think is best for you and Dorit.
30:46What are you thinking?
30:49I'm thinking he doesn't even know who I am.
30:53Probably never will.
30:59So, um...
31:01Sean's been posting about Spidal.
31:05Ah, well, um...
31:08Judging by your expression, I guess it's not a five-star review.
31:13Apparently we're deluded do-gooders.
31:16Just ignore it.
31:18Easier said than done.
31:20There's always going to be trolls.
31:22Except Sean is not a troll.
31:24He's a friend.
31:26Or should I say he was a friend, just like Gary and Maria.
31:29Look, if you want to let him go, I understand.
31:33After all, at the end of the day, it's your call.
31:37Let me ask you this.
31:39Do you see potential in the boy?
31:42Yeah. Yeah, I do.
31:44I've met plenty of lost causes in prison.
31:48And this lad isn't one of them.
31:50And do you honestly believe he can turn his life around?
31:53Touch wood. With time, patience and a guiding hand, yeah.
31:59Then I trust your instincts.
32:02It might affect the bottom line.
32:04Some things are more important than profit margins.
32:10That woman is lucky Alina didn't press charges.
32:14Or Steve, for that matter.
32:15Well, according to Tim, Steve took her to the football.
32:18Oh, that's typical.
32:20She drops a proverbial grenade
32:22and then she just brushes it off as if it's nothing to do with her.
32:25God.
32:27I'm quite surprised you're taking it so calmly.
32:31Well, at least I got to speak to Alina.
32:34Right, so we reckon that's a good thing, do we?
32:37And what did she have to say for herself?
32:41Oh, yes.
32:42Just remembered I've probably left my rollers on,
32:46so I'll just make myself scarce.
32:54Is he yours then?
32:57It's what she reckons.
33:00Is she certain about that?
33:02Yeah, 100%.
33:05Well, I'm sorry.
33:07It must have been hard for you.
33:08Yes, my mind's still a bit all over the place.
33:11Yeah, well, it's lots of process, isn't it?
33:14Can't have been easy for Alina either,
33:16having to unpack all that and then just jump on a plane and go.
33:23I would have understood, you know,
33:25if you wanted to go to the airport with them.
33:29We've not gone to the airport.
33:31Why, did she miss her flight?
33:33No, Alina's still got to give some kind of victim statement.
33:35No, Alina's still got to give some kind of victim statement or something,
33:38so she's going to stay in Weatherfield until the trial finishes.
33:45She wants me to get to know Dorian.
34:03I'm just...
34:05I'm confused because I thought she was going back to Romania.
34:09Well, yeah, she was,
34:11but like I said, she's now decided to stay till the end of the trial.
34:15And that was her idea?
34:17100%.
34:19Honestly, I mean, I was shocked too,
34:21because she said how homesick she is.
34:23Please tell me you haven't asked Alina to stay here.
34:25Don't be daft.
34:27I'm not a complete nutter.
34:29She's going to stay at Debbie's hotel.
34:32Wow.
34:33That can't be cheap.
34:35I'm surprised she can afford it.
34:37Well, she can.
34:39I said I'd pay for everything.
34:41You mean we'd pay for everything?
34:43Look, I know it's not ideal, right,
34:45and I know I should have spoke to you if...
34:47Except you didn't.
34:49Right, well, look, I can tell her then that, you know, you're not on board.
34:51No way, no way.
34:53I'm not taking the blame for this.
34:55I wouldn't blame you.
34:57Not now, maybe, Ty, but...
34:59give it a month or so.
35:01No.
35:03Find a way to make it work.
35:15You took your time.
35:17I came as soon as I could.
35:19How's Frankie?
35:21Yeah, like you care.
35:23Okay, enough small talk.
35:25What did Max want?
35:27To be my mate.
35:29You know what I mean. What were you chatting about?
35:31This and that.
35:33What's so special?
35:35Oh, he did ask me who the baby daddy was.
35:39Chill out.
35:41I made some up.
35:43And he bought it?
35:45Yeah, he did.
35:47You're not the only good liar around here.
35:49Well, nice work.
35:51Okay, so why am I here?
35:53Well, me and your son need some things.
35:56That's the list.
35:58I'm here because you want me to go shopping for you.
36:01Well, I don't want to leave Frankie on his own, so...
36:03You did today.
36:05Well, that was a one-off.
36:07I'm not your lackey.
36:09Right, okay, then. Will you sit with Frankie?
36:11Oh, yeah.
36:13You can't, can you?
36:15Because that would mean some very awkward questions, wouldn't it?
36:18That sounds to me like blackmail.
36:21Then think of it as some parenting.
36:24Deal?
36:25Deal.
36:28Deal.
36:37No, thank you, Debbie.
36:39I appreciate it.
36:41Yeah, I owe you one.
36:43All right, cheers, take care, bye.
36:45Just going to do him a deal.
36:47Oh, that's kind of her.
36:49Yeah, only 50 a night.
36:51Only? Wow.
36:52Guess that puts our holiday plans on hold, then.
36:55Look, I'll do extra shifts or more breakdowns or whatever.
36:58I'll make up the difference, I promise.
37:00Yeah, maybe I can get some overtime.
37:02Really? You'd do that for Alina?
37:05Ty, I would do that for our family.
37:08Yeah, of course. We should get tea on her anyway, shouldn't we?
37:11Are you forgetting something?
37:13Like what?
37:15Like Ruby and Hope. What are you going to tell them?
37:17Hi, I'm Hank, Marvin.
37:19I'm so hungry, I could eat a law-flying duck.
37:23What's happened?
37:25Yeah, what have we missed?
37:27Over to you.
37:30You sound so excited about it.
37:32Well, I just want to be part of something that's bigger than me.
37:35You think this senses it?
37:37Well, potentially.
37:39With the right investment, it's just about making it a reality.
37:42Well, if the code exists, then everything's possible.
37:45Sometimes you need a bit more than the code.
37:48How do you mean?
37:49Well, it's all about tangible intention.
37:51Be it volunteering, fundraising, investing.
37:54In some ways, it's the next step.
37:56To what?
37:58Well, to being who you want to be.
38:00It's like a leap into the unknown.
38:02Of course, not everybody's ready for that level of commitment or purpose.
38:05Well, and how do you know when you're ready?
38:07Well, to start with, you have to put your absolute trust in someone,
38:11like I have with Rowan.
38:13I mean, I believe in his vision, and he believes in mine.
38:15I trust you, absolutely.
38:17Aw, Amy, that's so sweet.
38:19I mean it.
38:21And I want to be part of something bigger.
38:23Well, you have got potential, Amy.
38:25But you are only at the start of your journey.
38:27A journey's nothing without a destination.
38:29See you tomorrow.
38:31Yeah, see ya.
38:33Hiya, it's me.
38:35So?
38:37Amy's interested in making an investment.
38:40Well, so interested that she's meeting a financial advisor with me tomorrow.
38:48I can't believe I've got a lawyer.
38:50Yeah, I know.
38:52I mean, I don't know if you've ever met a lawyer.
38:54I've never met a lawyer.
38:56I've never met a lawyer.
38:58I've never met a lawyer.
39:00I can't believe I've got a little brother.
39:02That's so cool.
39:04So are they, like, moving in with us?
39:06No, of course not.
39:08I wouldn't mind if they came to live with us.
39:10We'll just try it.
39:12Yeah, well, that is never going to happen.
39:14Are we going to meet him at least?
39:16Definitely.
39:18Oh, you can forget that, and you can't make me either.
39:20Love, no one is going to make you do anything, OK?
39:22Alina and Dorian are just staying until the trial's over.
39:24Well, that's the plan for the moment.
39:26But, you know, things might change.
39:27Things have already changed.
39:29Well, not between us, they've not.
39:31And what happens when you like her and Dorian more than us?
39:33Oh, sweetheart, that's never going to happen.
39:35Again, that is never going to happen.
39:37Well, it did before.
39:42She likes her drama.
39:44Don't worry.
39:47What?
39:49Aye, aye, Britain's most wanted.
39:51Ha, ha.
39:53I thought you were going out with Sal tonight.
39:55Well, Rosie rang. That was two and a half hours ago.
39:57Dyer, he dodged a bullet.
39:59Our lot running around like headless chickens.
40:01Like our Hope and Ruby on a sugar rush.
40:04Yeah, I still had a laugh, though.
40:06You went together, then?
40:08Yeah.
40:10What, even though she pinched your cab and kidnapped a ponter?
40:12Well, it was a mercy mission.
40:14That's not what you called it earlier.
40:16I think the exact word, she was an absolute...
40:18Right, has anybody got a drink?
40:20Yeah, I'll have an orange juice, please, love.
40:22And I'll go and pay the water bill.
40:24Yeah, go on.
40:25You two are as thick as thieves, aren't you?
40:27Thief being the operative word.
40:29Ha, ha, ha.
40:31So what's the SP with Demi?
40:33Is she up for a round, too, or what?
40:35Oh, sugar, I forgot to text her, didn't I?
40:37Oh, she'll think you're ghosting her.
40:39No, look, I've still got some news, won't you, old Stevie Magic?
40:41Oh, that'll get you staring.
40:46Oh, and you're stewing on it, aren't you?
40:49Oh, I'll talk to him about it tomorrow.
40:51You don't have to walk on eggshells.
40:56Am I interrupting something?
40:58Go on, talk to him.
41:00Well, I will.
41:02Talk to me about what?
41:04Oh.
41:06Right, look.
41:08I don't want to make a big thing of this, just...
41:11Before, when I told the girls that Alina was staying
41:14till the end of the trial,
41:16you said, yeah, that's the plan at the moment.
41:19Yeah, what about it?
41:21Well, it just seemed strange to me,
41:22because you said that she was missing home.
41:25Right, well, Alina is allowed to change her mind.
41:28And do you want her to change her mind?
41:30Oh, come on, what? I don't know.
41:32Do I have to spend, what, an hour with her and Dorian?
41:34Right, I'll put it another way.
41:36And if, you know, going forward,
41:38she asked you to be part of Dorian's life,
41:41what would you say?
41:43Well, I've not even thought that far ahead.
41:45Would you say yes or would you say no?
41:47Fiz, right, you know,
41:49you and the girls mean the world to me.
41:50I know, I don't doubt that.
41:52That's not what she's asking you, though, is it?
41:58Yeah.
42:00I thought so.
42:02What, I'm Dorian's dad.
42:04I don't want him growing up not knowing that.
42:06Yeah, that's fair enough, yeah.
42:08Just, I'm gonna go to bed.
42:10Night, Evelyn.
42:12Night.
42:16Right, you know what you're doing.
42:17Oh, I'm just trying to do what's right.
42:19Yeah, yeah, well, that's very admirable.
42:21Just as long as you realise
42:23once you go down that road,
42:25there is no coming back.
42:27Right.
42:29Well, I won't mess this up, I promise you.
42:31Right.
42:33Well, I'll hold you to that.
42:35Because it might just be that you,
42:37you know, you'd gain a son
42:39but you've lost your family.
42:40Gain a son but you've lost your family.
