00:00Oh, are you getting on with him?
00:08I'm not sure. I think he used to be in the army, down the box with a dog tag.
00:13Really? Why did he leave?
00:16Dunno. And when I mentioned it, he climbed up.
00:20Hey! Like father, like son, eh?
00:23What?
00:24You, er, working for Myra. That's running the blood.
00:29I should get back.
00:30Oh, well, that's a shame. I'm putting some flowers on Dad's grave if you want to join me.
00:36Victoria mentioned that you were in the military?
00:40It's not something I talk about.
00:42I was in myself. Back in the day, engineers.
00:46Took me a while to adjust to civilian life. Put my roots down.
00:52But a bit of perseverance.
00:55I really do need to get off.
01:13See what you mean. Not the easiest person to get to know.
01:16I've tried to encourage him to stay, but he's clearly decided he's not sticking round.
01:25Fancy a fry-up?
01:26Not in a million years.
01:29Whiskey was a total mistake.
01:31Well, perhaps if you and Marlon hadn't downed the old bottle.
01:34You disappeared off to bed early.
01:36I weren't exactly in a partying mood.
01:38Why not?
01:39Good morning!
01:42Future husband of mine.
01:44Not so loud.
01:45Oh, coffee. Yes, please.
01:48Help yourself, why don't you?
01:50I will.
01:52Take it you had a good night, then.
01:54Well, me and Marlon did.
01:56How was your hen-do?
01:57It was brilliant. I got absolutely bladdered.
01:59I beat our charity and our chas in arm-wrestling.
02:02And then I out-karaoked Kerry, eh?
02:04Champion, eh?
02:06Wish I could hold my drink like you.
02:08Listen, I'd best get off. I've got a well-busy day.
02:10I just wanted to make sure everything's sorted your end.
02:13Yeah, absolutely. I've got my suit pressed.
02:16My speech is finished and I've shined my shoes.
02:19I've just got to get my dad to help work out where I've left the rings.
02:22You've lost him?
02:23He's joking.
02:27You've done your checklist?
02:28Almost. There's just one tiny little task that needs my attention.
02:32What's that?
02:33Oh, I'm not at liberty to say, you know,
02:35but prepare to be amazed by something completely amazing
02:38that will amaze you like you've never been amazed before.
02:41I'm intrigued.
02:42Only the best for my Prince Charming.
02:44Do you want to make a tea?
02:45Paddy, come on. You know I'm a traditionalist.
02:48Next time you see me, I'm going to be walking up the aisle.
02:51Enjoy! You'll have three hours of freedom!
02:56She's full of herself today.
02:58She's marrying a prince, isn't she?
03:00I wonder what the big surprise is.
03:02So do I.
03:03Well, she's big on surprises, isn't she?
03:05That's why I love her.
03:07In my book, I think they're overrated.
03:09I think it's best to tread carefully.
03:16Are you sure this is what you want?
03:18What are you saying that for?
03:19Well, you know, due diligence has father of the groom.
03:25Life hasn't been an easy ride since Chas,
03:28and I don't want you to relapse.
03:31No, I won't.
03:32Me and Mandy are a match made in heaven.
03:38Remarrying Mandy.
03:40It's like going back to where I belong.
03:44Well, in that case, I'm...
03:46I'm very happy for you.
03:50What?
03:51£50?
03:52Don't insult my intelligence.
03:54I want £100 in my bank account by lunchtime,
03:56you snivelling little creep.
03:58No ifs, no buts.
04:01So, Trace, how are you?
04:03I thought I'd lock the door.
04:04Excuse the mess.
04:06Well...
04:08Well, it's a good job it was me who walked in
04:10and not Brenda or Claudette.
04:13I can't believe he's still doing this.
04:15Trace, I'm a natural, that's it.
04:18I mean, who knew there were that many rich men out there
04:20eager for a verbal spanking?
04:22And gradually now, yeah,
04:24I'm clearing off all my debts.
04:26Well, that's impressive.
04:28Yeah, and with these last few clients,
04:30I can pay for that treat for Paddy.
04:32Dinner in a five-star restaurant?
04:34Uh, that won't be cheap.
04:36Well, it's worth it.
04:38OK, fine, but you need to be more careful
04:40with locking that door.
04:41Last thing you want is Bear or Paddy waltzing in.
04:44No, you're right.
04:45Honestly, Trace,
04:46that's been a lifesaver.
04:48It's took all of our money.
04:55Well, Dad, you're a dark horse, aren't you?
05:02Sorry.
05:04Valerie always gets a bit gobby when I tidy her up.
05:07I'm amazed that thing still works.
05:11I change the batteries every now and then.
05:17Do you really think Dad didn't know about John?
05:20Who knows?
05:22He and Barbara were only together for a short while,
05:25until she realised that farming life was not for her
05:28and went back to her ex.
05:31Well, John reckons his mum sent Dad a letter.
05:35Well, if she did, I doubt that he got it.
05:38Yeah, me too.
05:40Either way, it doesn't matter,
05:42since John obviously wants nothing to do with us.
05:47He's still around.
05:50Only because Mac wrecked his van.
05:52Yeah.
05:53And he could get work wherever,
05:55Hotton, Leeds even,
05:57until the van was repaired.
06:00But he decided to stay and graft for my rice.
06:03Doesn't that tell you something?
06:05You've seen what he's like.
06:06I mean nothing to him.
06:08Maybe he's struggling with his feelings.
06:11Maybe he needs a gentle nudge.
06:14Don't give up on him yet.
06:28Still no word from the unit.
06:30We'll call them.
06:32I've tried. They said they'd phone back later.
06:34There you go. It's not even lunchtime yet.
06:36We need answers. This could hold up Angel's release.
06:39You don't know that for sure.
06:40That's the point. We don't know anything.
06:42It was bound to happen sooner or later.
06:44You can't lock up a little girl like our Angel
06:47and not expect her to be attacked.
06:49Was that what they said?
06:50Why else would she get involved in a fight?
06:52She could be seriously injured.
06:54They would have told us if she was.
06:55So we just sit here twiddling our thumbs
06:57until they decide to tell us what happened?
06:59What else can we do?
07:01We can go down there and we can demand some answers.
07:04Good idea.
07:06I mean, Bristol's a long way away.
07:08I don't care. She's our daughter.
07:10They can't stop us seeing her.
07:11So going in all guns blazing?
07:12Is that really going to help Angelica?
07:14We need to do something.
07:15I can go.
07:17Without me?
07:18Well, I mean, he is less likely to kick off.
07:22I can be calm and rational.
07:24Not when you're in Tiger Man mode.
07:26He's got a point.
07:28I can just ask them kindly and politely what's been going on.
07:32OK, but don't come back without answers.
07:35I won't.
07:38I'm sure it'll be fine.
07:40Just try not to worry about it, yeah?
07:42How can I not?
07:48Yes!
07:54Okey-dokey, Musker.
07:58Right.
08:00We're closed!
08:02I'm not here for an air-cup.
08:08Ah, there!
08:10A lovely surprise.
08:12Right.
08:14I want to know what you're up to.
08:16How do you mean?
08:17You told Paddy that you were rushed off your feet.
08:20Well?
08:22I don't see any customers.
08:24I'm in between appointments.
08:27Not that that's any of your business.
08:29Well, you'll marry my boy tomorrow, so it very much is my business.
08:33He's had his heart broken enough for one lifetime.
08:36I would never hurt my Paddy.
08:38Then why are you selling your services,
08:41Madam Diamante Dales?
08:43Sorry, I haven't got a clue what you're on about.
08:46I heard you with my own ears yesterday.
08:49On this.
08:51Demanding money off some bloke.
08:53Oh, and I've seen your web page.
08:56Oh.
08:57Don't you dare try to deny it.
08:59Bear, honestly,
09:01he's completely innocent.
09:03Just please,
09:05will you let me explain?
09:07Go on, then.
09:13Wow.
09:14What happened to you?
09:16Stroppy cow.
09:19What did you just call me?
09:21Hey.
09:22You're just in time for lunch.
09:24We're having fish fingers.
09:25Great.
09:27Obviously I can do something more grown up.
09:29It's a nice offer, but I'm only here for a change of clothes.
09:32Well, you're entitled to a lunch break,
09:34and it'll only be ten minutes.
09:36Go on, then.
09:38And in the meantime, Harry was wondering...
09:41Don't be shy, you can ask him.
09:43What?
09:44That he wants to play football, and I volunteered,
09:46but apparently I'm rubbish.
09:48Obviously, feel free to say no.
09:50Well, I suppose I've got time for a quick kickabout
09:53before I get changed.
09:54Yay!
09:55Who do you want to be?
09:56England or Brazil?
09:58League United.
09:59You'd better show me what you're made of, yeah?
10:01Yay!
10:03Oi, that's my best jumper.
10:06Thank you for this.
10:08It's no big deal.
10:11I've had a lot of overheads recently.
10:13Well, not so recent.
10:15You know, business has been slow.
10:16I maxed out my credit cards.
10:18The tax office were on my back,
10:19and now I've got this honeymoon to pay for that.
10:22I've just been struggling to make ends meet.
10:24So you decided to sell yourself?
10:26No, it's not like that, I told you.
10:28My business is on its knees, Bear.
10:30I just want to clear my debt.
10:32And is that how Paddy's going to see it?
10:33He doesn't need to know.
10:34This is my problem, not his.
10:36You need to be honest with him.
10:37Oh, you don't get it.
10:39No, this is me wiping the slate clean
10:41before I make my pledge to Paddy.
10:43I want to be debt-free before I start my new life with him.
10:46But why haven't you told Paddy about your financial problems?
10:49Because dingle women don't go groveling to anybody.
10:51No, instead they cavort with strangers behind their back.
10:54What?
10:55It's not cavorting.
10:56Why are you listening to me?
10:58Paddy, this is just a business arrangement.
11:01And you've seen my page, Bear.
11:03It's just a bit of light-hearted fun.
11:06Nothing more.
11:07If you think this isn't a sex thing, you're deluding yourself.
11:10Do you know nothing about men?
11:11It's not like I'm going to take it any further.
11:13It's morally wrong as far as I'm concerned.
11:15You've got to come clean to Paddy.
11:16But that won't achieve anything.
11:18You can't start your married life
11:19with a secret like this hanging over you.
11:21I'm doing this for Paddy.
11:23Me paying for this honeymoon,
11:25it's to show him how much I love him.
11:27Fine.
11:28If you want to own up, I'll have to do it for you.
11:31Bear!
11:47You can't tell Paddy, right?
11:49It's going to break his heart.
11:51Padrino's now, then later.
11:53He can't handle another betrayal.
11:55These last few years have been a struggle for him.
11:58Chas's affair nearly led him into taking his own life,
12:01but you were supposed to be his beacon of light,
12:04the happy ever-after he so richly deserves.
12:06But I am.
12:07I love Paddy. Always have, always will.
12:09Then prove it. Be honest with him.
12:11Tell him about the mess you've gotten yourself into
12:13and the so-called business arrangement
12:15you've set up to get yourself out of it.
12:17But what if he doesn't understand?
12:19All right, yes, yes, you're right.
12:21You're right.
12:22You know, I should.
12:23I should have been straight with him right from the start,
12:25but what if he's too late?
12:27Cos it's the eve of our wedding.
12:30It might ruin our big days.
12:34Is that what you want?
12:35Don't you dare paint me as the villain.
12:37OK, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
12:39OK, what if I stop? Yeah?
12:41I've nearly cleared off all my debts.
12:43I can close down the page, put all this behind me.
12:45Paddy doesn't need to know.
12:46Yeah, but I'll know.
12:47And how am I supposed to keep that to myself?
12:49Oh, come on, it was a mistake. I'm done with that now.
12:51How can I trust anything you say?
12:56Because Paddy's my everything.
12:59Ben, I've only found true love twice in my life.
13:02And both them times have been with your son.
13:06He's my world.
13:08I can't lose him.
13:11If you ever break his heart...
13:14That's the last thing I would do.
13:17OK.
13:19I'll keep your sordid little secret.
13:23But I'm doing it for Paddy's sake, not for you.
13:26Close down that page, right now.
13:28Consider it done.
13:30And I'll be watching you.
13:32And if you go back on your word...
13:34I won't. I promise.
13:36And thank you.
13:39I'm sorry.
13:47Best ever!
13:49He'd have fish fingers every day if I let him.
13:51So would I, if I'm honest. Thanks.
14:00Well, you're Harry's new best friend.
14:03Only because I let him win.
14:05I'm more a rugby man, myself.
14:07My dad played rugby when he was younger.
14:10Really? Yeah.
14:11I don't think he was very good, though.
14:14Oh, you don't have to do any of that.
14:16I don't mind pulling my weight.
14:24Here. You burnt this.
14:26No, it's all right.
14:27Moira's expecting me back.
14:29Oh, well, tonight, then.
14:30Yeah, we could have a few drinks, watch a film,
14:33have some quality family time.
14:35But we're not family.
14:37Well, you're just kicking a ball around with Harry.
14:39What does that prove?
14:41Look me in the eye and tell me you didn't enjoy yourself.
14:44There you go again, acting like you know me.
14:46Stopping here was a mistake.
14:47John...
14:48I don't need this.
14:49I'm not Harry's uncle or your brother.
14:51I'm just someone who's passing through.
14:53Why aren't you getting that?
14:57Heard from Uncle Jimmy yet?
14:59No, and he's not answering my calls.
15:01Do you think that's a bad sign?
15:04Well, I mean, it's a long drive.
15:06I'm sure he'll call when he gets here.
15:08On a happier note, I finally heard from Belle.
15:10She's coming home tomorrow.
15:12Have you two settled your differences?
15:14I don't know, but we're talking again.
15:16Well, texting, so that's a good sign.
15:19Is it?
15:20Well, I can't get her back until she stops ignoring me.
15:22Yeah, but she's ignoring you for a reason, isn't she?
15:25OK, so I shouldn't have lost my temper.
15:27But I only did because she lied about the miscarriage.
15:30Maybe you and Jimmy could put in a good word for me.
15:32You and Belle are way down our list of priorities.
15:35Of course.
15:36On the other hand, Angelica's going to be home soon.
15:38You're going to need her room.
15:40So if me and Belle can patch things up, we'll win.
15:47Why are you back so early?
15:49The unit phoned me when I was halfway to Bristol.
15:52And you didn't call me?
15:54I wanted to tell you in person.
15:56Tell me what?
15:58We're not allowed to visit Angel at the moment.
16:01That's not fair.
16:03She's been attacked by some bully.
16:06She hasn't, though.
16:08Well, how do you mean?
16:10Angel started the fight.
16:12She was the bully.
16:17So do you think Bear will keep his trap shut?
16:20Yeah, as long as I promise to stop it.
16:23Now?
16:24And are you going to?
16:26That's from tomorrow morning.
16:28Page closed.
16:29Well, why not do it right now?
16:32Mandy.
16:34I was just about to delete the page,
16:37and then this bloke messaged me asking to book a session.
16:40And you said yes?
16:41Trace is offering me 300 quid for a 30-minute video call.
16:44Mandy, you're getting married tomorrow.
16:47Yeah, but this last client will pay for Paddy's treat.
16:50Mandy, honestly, you cannot take this risk now that Bear's found out.
16:54A five-star restaurant in Venice
16:56is not worth jeopardising your marriage for.
16:59Tonight should be about you and your mates
17:02necking some drinks and getting giddy about your wedding tomorrow.
17:05Yeah, you're right.
17:07Quit while I'm ahead.
17:08Great.
17:09Right, now let's go crack open that Prosecco.
17:12The girls are bringing the nibs.
17:14Oh, great, listen, you carry on. I'm just going to finish up tidying here.
17:17Oh, all right.
17:26Maybe there's been some mistake.
17:28She admitted it to her supervisor.
17:30Apparently she wasn't even remorseful.
17:32Well, if there's anything I can do...
17:34Well, not right now. I'm on call, but in principle.
17:37No, you get off.
17:39Right. I'll keep you posted.
17:41About what?
17:42Oh, he reckons Zim and Belle might be sorting things out.
17:45Really?
17:46I'm not taking anything for granted.
17:49DOOR OPENS
17:54Have the boys got back from football camp?
17:56Not yet.
17:57Good.
17:59I don't want them hearing that their sister's turned into a thug.
18:02Don't call her that.
18:03She beat somebody up.
18:05There has to be a good reason why she did it.
18:08Hitting people, that's not the angel we know and love.
18:11I feared this would happen.
18:13Being locked up, it hardens people.
18:16I'm sure she'll be OK once we get her home.
18:18Maybe.
18:20Or maybe we've lost her for good.
18:24Here you go, Padster.
18:26Get your laughing gear in, haven't I?
18:28What is it?
18:29That is a peanut-banana Cosmo explosion.
18:32But what's in it?
18:34What isn't?
18:35It's one of Gail's cocktail mash-ups.
18:37Dreamt it up at Mandy's hen party last night.
18:40Proper delish.
18:41Getting him butted again the night before his wedding, is that wise?
18:44No. Hair of the dog.
18:46Put it like that.
18:48You all right, Dad?
18:50I'm fine.
18:51Do you want to tell your face?
18:53I just want what's best for my lad.
18:56Yeah, and so do I.
18:57And tomorrow I'm going to get it.
18:58Mandy Dingle's the love of my life.
19:02No offence.
19:03Don't take him.
19:04Everything turns out good in the end, doesn't it?
19:06Hopefully.
19:07Four divorces.
19:10Remarrying Mandy's like coming home.
19:11We just know each other inside out.
19:13I think I trust her with my life.
19:15Knowing someone and trusting them,
19:17ain't always the same thing.
19:19You do realise this is supposed to be a joyous occasion?
19:22All right, I'm sorry.
19:24Maybe I'm being overprotective.
19:26You think?
19:29Hang on.
19:31Maybe I'm not.
19:32What do you mean?
19:35Not here.
19:40Hey, how did you get on?
19:43Great!
19:44I owe you a big time.
19:45No, no, no, no, no.
19:47Don't tell Belle.
19:48I want it to be a surprise.
19:50Yeah, OK.
19:52Thanks.
20:02I can't...
20:04What was I supposed to be looking at?
20:06And what's the point?
20:07Why have you booked a session with some random woman?
20:09You turning into a pervert?
20:11She's not online.
20:13I made a mistake.
20:14You there?
20:15Oh!
20:17Turn your camera on, you idiot!
20:19Look, you are lucky I've even taken this session.
20:22I've got a million odd things I should be doing.
20:26You're gonna have to pay me,
20:28whether you speak to me or not.
20:31Is she paying that?
20:33Charging men hundreds of pounds to be shouted at.
20:37When did you find out?
20:38Yesterday.
20:39Is that who you were talking about yesterday?
20:41And you didn't think to tell Paddy?
20:43Well, she promised me that she'd take the page down.
20:46Well, I could tell she were lying.
20:48I mean, there might be an innocent explanation.
20:50Well, apparently she's got debts.
20:52She never mentioned any debts.
20:54Yeah, there's clearly lots of stuff she didn't mention.
20:56I'm sorry, son, but you needed to know the full facts
21:00before you walked down the aisle.
21:04Say something, Pad.
21:07Why would she do that?
21:09On the eve of your wedding.
21:12If there still is a wedding.
21:16Is there?
21:19Dunno.
