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