00:00Just go.
00:13Why?
00:15Don't you want to introduce me to our new friend?
00:21Well, maybe she's not so new.
00:23Who knows?
00:25Is this who you gave your family up for?
00:28Sent Gina a package?
00:30This has got nothing to do with you.
00:32No, of course not.
00:33I should just step back and not comment
00:35while you prioritise a quick fumble over your marriage and Gina.
00:38I told you, it's over.
00:40But it's here.
00:41Gina, really?
00:44It's your son's birthday tomorrow. You know that.
00:46Of course I do.
00:47But you're not there celebrating with him.
00:49You're here getting your end of way.
00:51Well, he lives in Dubai.
00:52What do you want me to do, get over there and give him a present?
00:54Make an effort. A real effort. Prioritise him.
00:56Like what you did, eh?
00:59Learn from my mistakes.
01:01Now, come on, you.
01:02You of all people should know the impact of separating a father from their son.
01:07Is that what you want for him, really?
01:08Is that really what you want?
01:11You're going to give up a shot of family for whoever's behind that door?
01:15Really?
01:17All sorted.
01:19For Eve, won't leave.
01:21Do you want to buy the tickets?
01:23They're not cheap.
01:26I looked at my bank...
01:27It's OK.
01:29I'll get them.
01:31I'm sorry.
01:32No, it's fine.
01:33This is important.
01:36For us.
01:38For the baby.
01:45What about Jasper?
01:48Why not stay here?
01:49No.
01:51No, a bit of distance would do us all some good.
01:54I bet you're dying to get rid.
01:56You know that's not true.
01:58I'll miss you.
01:59Yeah, I'd miss me sticking my nose in where it's not wanted and messing with you and Bobby, eh?
02:02I know you only did that because you care,
02:04but you do have to let me live my life.
02:06I know what I'm doing.
02:08Do you?
02:09Yeah.
02:10You focus on you,
02:12and I'll focus on me,
02:13and maybe we'll start to get along again.
02:15Even if you're not here.
02:19You OK?
02:21What happened?
02:22She's fine.
02:23She's tired.
02:24You need a good night's sleep.
02:25Come on, darling.
02:28She been drinking?
02:30Er, yeah, kind of.
02:32Bernie.
02:33Proud of her booze.
02:34Bernie?
02:35Well, why would she do that?
02:37I don't know.
02:38I went there.
02:39Anyway, I'd better go up.
02:43Linda.
02:44Oh, I'm so glad you're home.
02:45Are you OK?
02:47How are the kids?
02:49Good.
02:50Um, Annie went to sleep talking about the tooth fairy.
02:53She thinks she's getting a big payout.
02:56Thanks.
02:57I appreciate it.
02:58Right, let's get you to bed.
03:02You have no right to preach to me.
03:04Not after what you did.
03:06What you put me through.
03:08Look, son,
03:09things happen.
03:10It weren't all my fault.
03:12Oh, but this,
03:13this is mine, yeah?
03:15I should have stayed in on her marriage,
03:16even though it was obvious that it's dead in the water.
03:18You should have tried.
03:19You could have tried harder.
03:20Well, look what you did.
03:21Like I said,
03:22like I said,
03:23like I said,
03:24like I said,
03:25like I said,
03:26like I said,
03:27like I said,
03:28like I said,
03:29like I said,
03:30But that's how you did it.
03:31Like how you went the extra mile to make sure I was alright.
03:33Put boxing and Eddie over me and Mum.
03:35You can be better than this.
03:37You going to be better!
03:38A lot better!
03:39So don't come round here now trying to run my life.
03:42Trying to be the father that you never were.
03:44Cause I don't need saving.
03:46I don't need fixing.
03:47I slightly don't need you!
03:50I don't need anyone.
03:54Told her that's what the brush is for, right?
03:56So she didn't rip the ring off and give you a black eye then.
03:59She tried.
04:00Listen, I need a favor.
04:01You're going to go away for a bit.
04:03So I need someone to look after Jasper.
04:06I think that's a job for Martin.
04:08I'm working, aren't I?
04:09So, uh, yeah, that's fine.
04:17What's up, love?
04:18That's what I've been saying for weeks.
04:20Martin Fowler, a total man.
04:22It's going to be fun, isn't it?
04:23Living with you and a parrot.
04:25Another drink?
04:30So where are you going?
04:34Whitney's.
04:35Rhys thought it'd be a good idea to get away for a bit.
04:38You know, for the pregnancy, all the stress.
04:41It's not good.
04:43Right.
04:46So Rhys sold us the ring.
04:49We paid two grand cash for it, and he's got the ring back.
04:52And we're empty-handed.
04:54Yeah, he's good for it.
04:56Do you really think so?
04:57Because I don't trust him not an inch.
04:59Hello?
05:2510 minutes.
05:27The boxing den.
05:28I'll be there.
05:36I am scared for you, son.
05:39I'm scared that you're going to push everyone away,
05:41and then one morning, you're going to wake up alone.
05:43Totally alone.
05:45I understand you keep me at arm's length.
05:47I deserve it.
05:49But I'm struggling to see why you have
05:51to treat Gina the same way.
05:52I really am.
05:53Are you finished?
05:55What did you say?
05:57I don't know who you've got in there.
05:59And to be honest, I'm not that interested.
06:02But whoever she is, I hope she's got a lot of luck.
06:05Because odds are, you're going to treat her badly, too.
06:07In fact, I guarantee it.
06:08Do you want to meet her?
06:09What?
06:10You want to bring her out?
06:12You can tell her exactly what I'm like,
06:14what she's letting herself in for.
06:15Yeah, that's a great idea.
06:17No, no, no, I mean it.
06:18She's a nice woman.
06:19A little older, but oh, gorgeous.
06:22Your type.
06:23In fact, she's had some bad experiences with men,
06:26both blokes.
06:27We worked her.
06:28We didn't understand what she needed.
06:29Maybe I should let her out right now.
06:31You can tell her I'm just the same.
06:33Another bad lot she's got in bed with, hm?
06:39Maybe next time.
06:40Yeah?
06:41Thanks for the thought, though.
06:43Enjoy your evening.
06:54Look, I was out of order.
06:56OK?
06:57What I said, you really didn't deserve that.
07:01OK?
07:02And you don't need to move out.
07:03I was just upset.
07:04But you still said it.
07:07You blamed me for Linda almost dying.
07:12But I didn't.
07:14I didn't mean it.
07:15OK?
07:16If anything, I was just angry at myself.
07:18It doesn't matter.
07:19It doesn't matter.
07:20If anything, I was just angry at myself.
07:22It doesn't matter.
07:26It's time for me to go, anyway.
07:29I need to move out.
07:30I need to grow up a bit.
07:32Where are you going to go?
07:35A mate of a mate.
07:37He's got a room just off the high street.
07:40Why?
07:43Well, Mum, I might ask if I can move in with her.
07:50I mean, what was that?
07:52You suggested me meet him.
07:53What were you going to do, drag me in there?
07:55Nothing.
07:56I didn't mean it.
07:57Well, it sounded like it.
07:59What did you want to do?
08:00Humiliate me?
08:01Him?
08:02Both of us?
08:03Maybe?
08:04Is that what all of...
08:07Is that what this is about?
08:09You just want to get back at him?
08:10No.
08:11No, of course not.
08:12I like you.
08:13No strings.
08:14Just a bit of fun.
08:15Really?
08:16Yes.
08:17Really.
08:18It doesn't feel like that.
08:19What are you doing?
08:20Getting dressed.
08:21You don't have to do that.
08:22Oh, yes, I do.
08:23Do you know what?
08:24Maybe George has a point about you.
08:25What's that supposed to mean?
08:27You weren't exactly honest with the Gina situation, were you?
08:30You said it was a mood killer.
08:31It was.
08:32It is.
08:33First you hire Peter behind my back,
08:36and then you hide the fact that Gina's homeless
08:38and wants to come and live with you.
08:39What did you want me to do?
08:40Say yes, and then where are we going to meet?
08:43I feel like you.
08:45You.
08:46Oh, come on.
08:48No, no.
08:49You don't understand, do you?
08:52I've been here before, more than once,
08:55and affairs are messy, messy things.
08:58What, you think I don't know that?
09:00People get hurt, junior.
09:02I don't want to get hurt.
09:04And I don't want my daughter being dragged into all of this.
09:06She's not going to.
09:07Look, I like you.
09:08I like spending time with you.
09:10Oh, I know what you like.
09:11Oh, well, you seemed to like it yourself earlier.
09:13I mean, you were pretty damn vocal about it.
09:15Oh, nice.
09:16Classy.
09:17No, look, I'm sorry.
09:18I didn't mean that.
09:19I'm going to go and see my daughter and check up on her.
09:22Maybe you ought to go and see your son, too.
09:24Sim, wait.
09:26Oh.
09:28Oh.
09:54Hiya.
09:56Hey.
09:57You OK?
09:58Yeah.
09:59Yeah, yeah, I'm great.
10:00You know, you're not a very good liar.
10:02Has anyone ever told you that?
10:03Usually I'm a pretty good liar.
10:05You just, er, call me on an off night.
10:07What, do you want to talk about it?
10:09I'm a good listener.
10:10I am.
10:12Go for a drink, if you like.
10:15All right.
10:18Is Gina around?
10:19Yeah, upstairs.
10:20Excellent.
10:22What if there's some truth to it?
10:24What if Rhys is only after the money?
10:26Oh, yeah, he's a right master criminal, isn't he?
10:28Oh, I'm scared.
10:29Well, if I was him, I'd have bumped off my ex for the cash
10:32and got my nurse fiancé to help.
10:34It's not even funny, is it?
10:35And Rhys hasn't even got the polls.
10:37Well, maybe Sonia's the mastermind behind the whole thing.
10:40He's the patsy.
10:49What?
10:50What?
10:57Oh, I'm sorry I'm late.
10:58I had to feed Jess, but...
11:00I, er...
11:02I ain't the only one that you owe money to.
11:07No, where did you hear that?
11:09Vic, Sookie and Eve.
11:12Now I'm beginning to wonder if you ain't too stupid enough
11:14to try and steal my money.
11:16No, of course not. No.
11:18So you wouldn't sell Sonia's engagement ring,
11:21give me the cash and claim it was from my investment?
11:24No.
11:26So you didn't do that?
11:28Yes or no?
11:30Look, you wanted me to cash it out, but I couldn't.
11:34The investment hadn't matured. You'd lose money.
11:37I was scared, too scared to tell you,
11:40so I gave you the cash and the ring,
11:42but I haven't stolen from you.
11:44I was just protecting your investment.
11:48You know, I've, er...
11:50I've met a lot of liars in my time, Racer.
11:54And sometimes, sometimes, I'm one of them,
11:57and I can always tell, yeah? I can tell.
11:59I can smell it.
12:00No, you're wrong.
12:01There is no investment, is there?
12:03This whole thing is a con.
12:05Absolutely not. There is an investment.
12:07A very sound investment.
12:09Then prove it.
12:10I already have. Look, I showed you the paper.
12:12Well, that's easy enough to fake, innit?
12:14Show me the email where you draught the cash out.
12:16Show me. Give me your phone. Give it to me.
12:18It's dead.
12:23I want my money, Racer. Do you understand?
12:26I want every penny.
12:28Well, I do understand, and you'll get it soon, very soon.
12:31Now, now! Now!
12:33But I haven't got it.
12:34I don't think you're getting the message, Racer.
12:36Now, if you don't give me my money,
12:38I'm going to hurt you, yeah?
12:40I'm going to hurt you bad.
12:42Sonia's pregnant.
12:44And Debbie's death...
12:47I'm under a lot of pressure financially.
12:50I'm worried about the stress.
12:52The effect on Sonia.
12:54Her health. I love her so much.
12:57And if anything happened to her, the baby,
13:00I couldn't bear it.
13:02I will get your money, though.
13:04I'll get it all.
13:06I'll get the big payout from Debbie's life insurance.
13:09And as soon as it comes in, you're first in line.
13:15You've got till Monday.
13:16Monday? Yeah, Monday.
13:17You don't give me my money then,
13:20you ain't going to like what happens next.
13:38I just spoke to Johnny.
13:40Is it true?
13:41You gave Linda loads of booze?
13:43I don't know.
13:44Well, yeah, but it was a mistake.
13:46I'd had a few myself and I forgot.
13:48I forgot about her condition.
13:50Just the stress of this trial.
13:52I'm not myself, Sharon, really.
13:54But you forgot she was an alcoholic?
13:56Or was it deliberate?
13:57Oh, don't you have a go as well?
13:59Keanu is dead.
14:00This trial is going nowhere.
14:02I am losing my house,
14:03and I had Johnny in my face, insulting me,
14:06and I ain't taking it from you as well, all right?
14:14PHONE VIBRATES
14:16Hi.
14:20He just said no.
14:22He didn't want me there and I thought he'd be into it.
14:25Get to know me better.
14:27Well, his loss is my gain.
14:30You're moving in with me.
14:32What, are you sure?
14:33Yes, of course.
14:34You should have just asked.
14:36Thanks, Mum.
14:37And don't worry about Junior.
14:39I'm sure he cares.
14:40I'm sure he cares.
14:41He's just being independent.
14:44Well, that's one way for it.
14:46I've just come from his place.
14:48He's got a woman stashed in the bedroom.
14:50Oh, really?
14:51That's not a crime, is it?
14:53Or do you think that's why he didn't want me there?
14:55Cramping his style?
14:56Maybe.
14:57I don't think that's true.
14:58Well, who is she?
14:59Anyone we know?
15:00He didn't introduce us.
15:02But I saw her clothes all flung on the floor.
15:04Oh, tacky.
15:05Look, it's none of our business who Junior's shacked up with.
15:08Anyway, problem solved.
15:09Junior's moving in with me?
15:16So she asked me straight, and she moved in.
15:20I didn't know what to say.
15:23Yes?
15:25Yeah, maybe.
15:26He's just...
15:27I don't know.
15:31To be honest,
15:32if I can't involve with someone,
15:35we might get awkward.
15:37Really?
15:39Who?
15:40No one you know.
15:42What's she like, then?
15:44Older.
15:45Got kids.
15:48Shacked up with someone.
15:50Junior!
15:51You've got to keep it to yourself.
15:55So you're into older women?
16:00I am now.
16:04And to be honest, it's not just her.
16:07The idea of living with someone else
16:11and getting to really know me...
16:15I don't like it too much.
16:18Why?
16:19I guess I'm not good at letting people get too close.
16:26Well...
16:28Listen, it is hard living with someone,
16:30and, you know, relationships and that.
16:33Sometimes you do just want to lock yourself away
16:36and just be on your own.
16:38Exactly.
16:40My dad was like that.
16:42Proper family man.
16:44But at the end of the day,
16:47world of his own.
16:49How'd that work out for him?
16:54Not well.
16:58I just wondered if I made the wrong move.
17:00You know, it's...
17:02I mean, who knows?
17:04Could be a good thing in my life.
17:07And what else have I got?
17:10A marriage.
17:12Dad hates me.
17:15And a son I don't see.
17:21Well, why don't you just change your mind then?
17:23Invite her to move in.
17:26This could be a really good opportunity for you to form a bond.
17:31If I had the chance now,
17:34to have my sister Abby back,
17:36even if it was just for a day,
17:39there was nothing that I wouldn't do.
17:43What have you got to lose?
17:50He's, er...
17:52He's been lying to us.
17:53There is no investment. He's just taken our cash.
17:56So what are we going to do?
17:57Time he's got till Monday. He knows I ain't mucking around.
18:00If he don't pay up, then he'll be walking down the aisle on crutches.
18:04Listen, there's another problem.
18:06Bernie.
18:08She's in a real state about Keanu and the trial.
18:11I was considering letting her stay at mine.
18:14Why?
18:15Well, Martin's moved out. I've got the room.
18:17You think that's a good idea?
18:18She's acting odd, Phil.
18:20Unpredictable. Aggressive, even.
18:22Bernie?
18:23Yeah, exactly.
18:25She got Linda drunk. Nearly killed her.
18:28Do you think she knows?
18:30I don't know.
18:31But maybe if she's grieving, the least I can do is help out.
18:35Keep an eye on her.
18:36Make sure she don't suspect anything.
18:39What do you think?
18:40Keep tabs on her, you know, keep it friendly,
18:42but hold it there when he has.
18:44That's just ours getting in trouble, isn't it?
18:49How many clothes have you got?
18:51It's only been half of them.
18:53Come on, give me a hand.
19:01Best go, please.
19:03Can I have a word?
19:04No, I've had a word.
19:05Didn't end too well.
19:06I'd really like to talk.
19:08I hear you've got a new special friend,
19:10so why don't you just go and talk to her?
19:12Look, come on, let's go.
19:13You two can talk about this in the morning,
19:14when things have calmed down.
19:15Look, I've changed my mind.
19:18I've thought about it, and, um...
19:20Well, I'd really like you to move in.
19:22She's moving in with me?
19:24Yeah, well, you've got Haspel, haven't you?
19:27I'm all on my own.
19:30Look, I'm...
19:32I'm sorry how it all went down.
19:34I'd love for you to come and share the flat.
19:37If you still want it.
19:38Why?
19:40Because Dad had to go?
19:41No, because...
19:43Because I want to get to know you better.
19:45Spend some time.
19:48Really?
19:50Yeah.
19:53Look, I was... I was an idiot.
19:56I should have said yes straight away.
19:58But I'm just stuck in my ways, I guess.
20:00What about your new lady friend?
20:03I mean, where are you going to meet her?
20:06Well, I just have to make alternative arrangements.
20:10Family comes first.
20:15So what do you say?
20:21Well, yes.
20:23Yeah?
20:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:26Let's go get a drink at the bar to celebrate.
20:28Yeah, all right.
20:29You too, Mum.
20:36What do you want?
20:39I'm sorry.
20:41Do you know what happened in the bit? It wasn't very nice.
20:44No.
20:46Is that it?
20:48Well, I was...
20:51It was stupid.
20:52You know, it was a bad joke.
20:55But maybe...
20:57Maybe you go in, it's such a good idea.
20:59Why not?
21:01People talk.
21:03You know, it starts off as a joke, doesn't it?
21:04I mean, you and Rhys, but...
21:06Who knows where it leads?
21:07I mean, his wife's barely cold enough grave and you're wearing her engagement ring.
21:11I mean, don't bother me.
21:13Other people.
21:15You know, you leave in, they might get the wrong idea.
21:18Well, who cares about them?
21:20Well...
21:21Sounds like...
21:23Debbie's mum ain't going to keep her mouth shut.
21:25So just be careful.
21:28Do you believe her?
21:30Of course not.
21:32I'm on your side, aren't I?
21:35Maybe you'd be better if you just stood your ground.
21:38And showed them, you know, that there is...
21:40There's nothing to hide.
21:41There's nothing to hide.
21:52What's going on?
21:53I don't know, Mum. Let's talk, yeah?
21:55We need to talk. Now.
22:03Guys, I'm out.
22:06I can't afford it.
22:07Don't be a fool, dear.
22:09Me and Jordan, we're going to move in with Patrick.
22:11And where's that leave me and Bernie?
22:13I'm not going anywhere.
22:14Clever words.
22:15So busy.
22:17I want to apologise about earlier.
22:19I'm just a bit protective of Linda.
22:21It's not your fault, really, it's not.
22:24Well, thanks, I appreciate that, but we're in a bit of a crisis right now.
22:27Yeah, you're, er...
22:28Looking for a flat?
22:29Yeah, we're desperate, actually.
22:31Well, I saw Jack earlier, and one of his flats has come up free.
22:35Three eight.
22:36Minimum wage can't afford it.
22:38Well, I tell you what, why don't I sub you for a couple of months, huh?
22:41Pay you rent.
22:43Why? Why would you do that?
22:45You've had a tough time, Bernie. Everyone knows that.
22:47Want to help?
22:49No, I can't. I can't accept that.
22:51You know, it's much too generous.
22:53Well, I'm not just doing it for you.
22:55I'm doing it for Keanu.
22:59That's nice of you.
23:01It's the least I can do.
23:03Thanks.
23:06Cheers.
23:12Cheers.
23:24You took your time.
23:28This is hardly the screen.
23:30I don't appreciate you sticking your oar in with Gina.
23:34Changed my mind.
23:35It's the same, you know.
23:36Well, of course not.
23:38Why is this such a problem for you?
23:40I was actually really looking forward to Gina coming to live with me.
23:43What's up to Gina?
23:45Look, if she wants to move in with you, that's cool.
23:48Yeah, but she doesn't want to, does she?
23:50She'll be excited about going to live with her brother, not a boring old mum.
23:58Well, you're hardly boring.
24:00Don't. Don't.
24:02I mean, do you really think I'm going to just bounce back and jump into bed with you after all the stuff that you said?
24:08It was a row. People say things they don't mean.
24:11Yeah, but you did mean some of those things.
24:15What, you just...
24:18Who knows how to push my buttons?
24:20Look, I'm sorry you had to deal with that. I really am.
24:25I'm not proud of myself.
24:26I'm not proud of myself.
24:28Look, you...
24:30You said you wanted to know me a bit better.
24:33No, you do.
24:35Whether you like it or not.
24:38Whatever happens next is... well, it's up to you.
24:47So where are we going to meet now?
24:49Hotel.
24:52But in the meantime...
24:53But in the meantime...
24:57You think I'm that cheap?
24:59Of course not.
25:06Ow!
25:12Where have you been?
25:14For a walk. It's in my head.
25:16I just had an interesting chat with Martin.
25:19Was he up for babysitting Jasper?
25:20There's a lot of gossip.
25:22Since Brenda's little show.
25:24About us. This ring. The money.
25:26What?
25:27She's not going to go away, Rhys.
25:29And then she's going to bring in these lawyers.
25:31I think maybe it's best that we just stay here.
25:33Some of you, it's gossip.
25:35It makes us look guilty.
25:37How? Look, we haven't done anything wrong.
25:39We're not leaving for ourselves.
25:41We're leaving for the baby.
25:43It's not good to have that much stress so early in a pregnancy.
25:45I don't think living with Whitney is going to be very relaxing.
25:47All right?
25:48I think it's better that we just stay here.
25:50I disagree. I think we should go.
25:52I think we should leave first thing.
25:54Well, I don't. I want to stay.
25:57Fine.
26:00Whatever makes you happy.
26:02That's all I want.
26:08She's sleeping like a baby.
26:10A couple of days, she'll be starting rehab.
26:12That's what she needs.
26:14You know, a fresh look at her.
26:16Hey, where's Junior?
26:18I don't know.
26:20Go on, Mum.
26:22Oh, I thought you'd gone home.
26:24No, no, it's a bit bubbly.
26:26Not my style.
26:28Oh.
26:30Just a bit close.
26:32Oh.
26:34Now, listen, I'm moving in with my brother,
26:36so I need you to make up, both of you.
26:38I don't want it to be tense when you're popping around, do you?
26:41It's fine by me.
26:43You need me to?
26:45Right, Gina and Julian.
26:46Oh, wait a second.
26:48I need to get some more bubbly, don't I?
26:50You're empty.
26:52Yeah, let's make it a couple, eh?
26:54Yes.
27:00Gina, do me a favour.
27:02Do what?
27:04When you move in, can you keep an eye on Junior for me?
27:06Why?
27:08I don't know. He's just got a bad feeling.
27:10He's going down the wrong path.
27:12He'll be fine, Dad.
27:14I don't think he is.
27:16It would be good if we knew who she was,
27:18in case he's making a terrible mistake.
27:20OK.
27:22Great.
27:24Let's keep it between us two.
27:26Good.
27:28Here we are.
27:31Good.
27:33Hey!
27:39Cheers.
27:41Oh!
27:44Cheers, Charlie.
27:46To the family?
27:48To the family.
