00:12Terry?
00:13No, is he...?
00:14I heard what you've been for on that podcast. I... I just wanted to reach out.
00:18Oh, here we go. I've had enough podcast freaks knocking about. Yeah, trying to take pictures of me every time I open the door.
00:25No, no, no, no. It's not like that. I... I just want to talk.
00:28You're not the first person to turn up claiming they're my dad, either.
00:32What? No, you... you wrote me a letter... a few years back.
00:38Okay, I didn't respond, but... after everything you've been through, I felt awful. I just wanted to come and find you.
00:44Well, I wrote a letter to every Terry can I could find. So how do I know you're my dad?
00:50I can prove it.
00:52Come on, let's go inside.
00:53Sonia.
00:55Please.
00:57I'm glad you and Amy are talking again.
01:03I'm so proud of you.
01:06Mom.
01:07I am.
01:09You're so much stronger than I ever was at your age.
01:12You just keep that head up, yeah?
01:15And is that my skirt?
01:17Not tonight, it's not.
01:19Mmm.
01:20Enjoy.
01:22You've got five minutes.
01:35It's just...
01:36After hearing what you've been through, I... I just wanted to reconnect, let you know that I was there for you. That your dad was there for you.
01:50Right, well, you said you can prove it. That you're my dad.
01:54Oh, yeah, yeah.
02:02That's all I had of you.
02:04Is that you a nun?
02:05Yes.
02:06After what that Rhys bloke did, and you being a new mum, I just wanted to make sure you was okay. And do what I can, if you're not.
02:18This coming from the bloke that abandoned his entire family, took everything that wasn't nailed down, do me a favour.
02:24Look, I've...
02:26Even got ID to prove I am...
02:29Well, me.
02:31You're probably thinking it's too little too late.
02:34Me arriving, trying to be the hero, but I just wanted to...
02:40What?
02:42I don't know.
02:44Maybe we could start over, make a connection.
02:48To be honest, Sonia, you've...
02:51You've been in my faults ever since I last laid eyes on you.
02:54I even use you as a totem to focus when I'm meditating.
02:59Oh, hang on a minute.
03:01Can someone please translate? I don't speak, nutter.
03:04Please, please.
03:05No, right, that's it.
03:06Now, you can focus off. You've had your five minutes, and take your tom-tom with you.
03:10Look, can you two just, um, give me some time?
03:13You're not serious?
03:16You all right?
03:17Yes.
03:19You're being taken in by this man.
03:21I just wanna talk.
03:23I'm not putting him in my will, and I can't do that by you shouting the odds, can I?
03:28You put a foot wrong, and I'll adjust your chakra.
03:42See, that's your brother for it.
03:44Yeah.
03:45You're looking good, Barney.
03:46Thanks.
03:47Still good for the gym later, yeah?
03:48Bad.
03:49Well, Zach has kindly offered to take you on and train your barn, get you strapped.
03:50Really?
03:51Sharon's brother training me in her gym?
03:52No, I'm all right, thanks.
03:53It wouldn't feel right.
03:54Don't worry about that.
03:55It's fine.
03:56It's all right.
03:57It's all right.
03:58You and Zach could be pals in no time.
03:59Of course.
04:00Get your confidence going, looking better, feeling better.
04:02All right, love.
04:03Thanks.
04:04What's that?
04:05It's a mocker.
04:06No, mate, change that for Walter now.
04:07Well, Ronnie, just got it.
04:08I'm gonna take you out for a run later.
04:09Nothing hectic, just see what we're working with.
04:11Barney.
04:12Water.
04:13Go now.
04:14No.
04:15No.
04:16No.
04:17No.
04:18No.
04:19No.
04:20No.
04:21No.
04:22No.
04:23No.
04:24No.
04:25No.
04:26No.
04:27No.
04:28No.
04:29No.
04:30No.
04:31No.
04:32No.
04:33No.
04:34No.
04:35No.
04:36No.
04:37No.
04:38No.
04:39No.
04:40No.
04:41No.
04:42No.
04:43No.
04:44No.
04:45No.
04:46No cash.
04:47Don't worry.
04:48I was training anyway.
04:49You can just tag along.
04:50Yeah?
04:51Fair enough.
04:52You just look after my boy.
04:53Yeah.
04:54Main thing is, we just have some fun, yeah?
04:56Yeah.
04:57Thanks, Dad.
04:58See you later.
04:59I picked her up from the showroom this morning.
05:09I live in Barley most of the time, so I'm going to have her shipped out.
05:13She's a real beauty, ain't she?
05:15Look, I genuinely, honestly just want to have it right between us.
05:28Why now?
05:29Well, I told you, the podcast.
05:32I couldn't get me head round what you'd been through.
05:36So you thought you'd just drop into my life uninvited?
05:39Oh.
05:40You did write me a letter.
05:43Which you ignored.
05:44Yeah.
05:45Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
05:46I was fully prepared for you to tell me where to go, but I had to reach out.
05:51I felt awful about what you'd been through.
05:54It wasn't your fault.
05:56Yeah.
05:57Well, maybe if I hadn't walked out on you all those years ago or answered the letter, then,
06:02I don't know, maybe things would be different.
06:04Guess we'll never know, eh?
06:06No.
06:07No.
06:08Why didn't you?
06:12What?
06:13Answer my letter.
06:15Old letter.
06:16Cowardice, I guess.
06:19Easier not to.
06:21I mean, I was so busy with work, I just thought, carry on.
06:26I know.
06:27Selfish.
06:28I know.
06:29I know.
06:30What'd you do for work?
06:31Oh, well, I've got my own mindfulness business.
06:34It's like meditation and all that.
06:36It's taken me around the world.
06:38I had a chance to really look at myself.
06:40Think deeply about me.
06:41And you.
06:42And everything, really.
06:45I know.
06:47I know I did wrong.
06:49But I'm here now.
06:51And I want to show you that I'm not that stupid little prat anymore.
06:56Sonia, I'm not getting any younger.
07:00I just want to make amends for everything I did or everything I failed to do.
07:05I'm...
07:07Can we...
07:10Is there a way?
07:12Is there a way we can be part of each other's lives?
07:18How long you're here for?
07:20Ah, a week.
07:22We could do some day trips.
07:24Talk.
07:25Maybe we'll...
07:26I, um...
07:27I need some time.
07:28Yeah, yeah, of course.
07:29Yeah.
07:30On my own?
07:31Yeah.
07:32Yeah, yeah, of course.
07:33It's a...
07:34It's a lot to take in, isn't it?
07:35Yeah.
07:36Uh...
07:37I'll...
07:38I'll give you some space.
07:39Get out of your hair.
07:40Right?
07:41Yeah.
07:42Sonia.
07:43I just want to thank you for hearing me out.
07:48A lot of people would have said it's more than I deserve.
07:52So...
07:53Yeah.
07:54Thanks.
08:03Go!
08:04Look, I just want to know if there's any problems.
08:06That's all I'm saying.
08:09Can you stop being so embarrassing?
08:11My friends are here not being cringe.
08:13Not...
08:14Alright.
08:15Looking good, eh?
08:21Oh, he's nice, isn't he, that one?
08:22Oh, my God.
08:23Go!
08:27Right, come on.
08:28We should get going.
08:29Oh, no.
08:30Five more minutes.
08:31It's just nice to be out of the flat.
08:33What do you mean?
08:34Well, Louie's been kicking off, hasn't he?
08:36He's been moaning that he...
08:37He ain't got his own bedroom.
08:39But it has got me thinking.
08:41That place is too small for all of us as it is.
08:43Let alone when the baby comes.
08:45Our flat just ain't gonna cut it anymore.
08:47We need a house.
08:49Where are we supposed to get the money for that?
08:51I don't know.
08:52But our family is growing and...
08:54Mm-hmm.
08:55When this baby comes...
08:56Yeah.
08:57Alright, leave it with me.
08:58I'll speak to my dad when I get a chance.
09:00But he's already paying for the wedding, so...
09:02Hey, Kev.
09:04Uh, Lily hasn't been in, has she?
09:06Uh, not seen her since this morning, no.
09:08Oh.
09:09I, uh...
09:10I take it you haven't spoke to Jane yet, then?
09:12I haven't, no.
09:13I'm sorry.
09:14Oh, I know, I do.
09:15But...
09:16Not in the right time.
09:17There's just so much going on with Stacy and...
09:19And Lily's not coping at all.
09:21And Jane's just, you know...
09:23Trying to keep everything together, so...
09:25But I promise...
09:27You know, I will.
09:28As soon as things come out of here.
09:30Yeah, so, uh, thanks.
09:31And we'll just keep looking at you, so...
09:33Fancy.
09:34Going to a voicemail.
09:36She could be anywhere.
09:38Off her face on drugs, bought with stolen money.
09:40I don't know what to do.
09:42Oh, you're nice.
09:46Same, Robbie, okay?
09:47Yeah, good, you?
09:48Yeah, good, man.
09:49To it.
09:50Yo!
09:51Thanks for coming.
09:52Ain't a party about me, is it?
09:54Is Lily coming?
09:55Yeah, I think later.
09:56She's just getting grief off to you.
09:58Oh, well, we'll still have a good time now, yeah?
09:59Yeah, of course.
10:00All right, we're just coming in, yeah?
10:01Yeah.
10:12I'm happy you came.
10:29I mean it.
10:30Yeah, me too.
10:32I just wanted to say all this stuff with the police
10:35and how you've handled it.
10:37It's been amazing.
10:39But now I need you to come and help me put some proper tunes on.
10:43I want this night to be chilled and relaxed, yeah?
10:46Oh, what, Sonia seen sense and slung you out, has she?
11:11I gave her some space so she could think it over, all right?
11:14She ain't a mug.
11:16She ain't gonna let a slithering snake like you get back into her life
11:20just because you've grown a conscience.
11:22Oh, I'm the snake, haven't I?
11:23You knew I was back and didn't tell her.
11:25How's she gonna feel about that, eh?
11:27You all right, Bianca?
11:29What are you having?
11:31Who's that?
11:33Jack.
11:34Jack Browning.
11:36What do I know you?
11:38Terry can.
11:40You were just a boy last time I saw you.
11:43Long time?
11:45Yeah, not long enough.
11:46Look, I'm not looking for any trouble, okay?
11:49But all the things I did, I apologize for.
11:51The pain I caused care of your family, the whole lot.
11:54I'm sorry, all right?
11:55I'm sorry to hear about Jimmy.
11:57Rest in peace, he was a proper, proper gentleman.
12:00Yeah, because he stuck around for his family.
12:02Didn't bail out at the first sign of a dirty nappy, did he?
12:05What are you after?
12:07I'm here for Sonia.
12:09I heard that podcast, and I couldn't help but wonder
12:12what it would be like for her if I was in her life.
12:15Yeah, worse, you mean.
12:16I've had a good look at myself,
12:18and I just want to find a version of me that I want to be.
12:22And that's why I came back.
12:24I'm only in the country for a week,
12:27and I want to show my daughter someone she could be proud of,
12:30someone maybe she could forgive.
12:34Look, if you want to take a swing, I ain't gonna stop you,
12:36and I ain't gonna fight you back.
12:38And we both know I deserve it.
12:43I need some fresh air.
12:45Nice to see you, Jack.
12:47Looking good.
12:49He is dreaming if he thinks that waffle's gonna get his feet
12:52back under Sonia's table.
12:55Over my dead body.
12:57Nugget said you needed me.
13:02They said that you invited them.
13:04That's right, isn't it, Ivanya?
13:06Will you go way back?
13:07Yeah.
13:08Oh, come in, then.
13:12What are you playing at?
13:13You mentioned party.
13:14I saw a business opportunity.
13:16So you followed me?
13:18Do I need to draw out some new customs?
13:19I'll get by on your puppet money, can I?
13:21Well, it ain't that sort of party.
13:23Well, that's about to be.
13:25You know this house belongs to a copper.
13:28You need to go.
13:29Now.
13:30I haven't seen a cop that was about, though.
13:32All I see is a scared little girl.
13:39Lily?
13:40Yeah.
13:41Would you please give me a call?
13:43Where is your silly, silly...
13:49Mummy.
13:53What's this?
13:54Mum, I'm so sorry.
13:55I didn't call you back.
13:56I was just out.
13:57This.
13:58Charlie was playing with this.
13:59You stupid, stupid girl!
14:00It, er, bad timing?
14:01No.
14:02No.
14:03I was gonna ask you, actually.
14:04Is there any proof of Ruby setting fire to the stall?
14:05You've spoken to Slater's.
14:06Tell him there's a lack of evidence.
14:07Oh.
14:08You alright?
14:09I was just expecting, um...
14:10Don't matter.
14:11Terry?
14:12No.
14:13No.
14:14No.
14:15No.
14:16No.
14:17No.
14:18No.
14:19No.
14:20No.
14:21No.
14:22No.
14:23No.
14:24No.
14:25No.
14:26No.
14:27No.
14:28No.
14:29No.
14:30No.
14:31No.
14:32Don't matter.
14:33Terry?
14:36Yeah.
14:37Bumped into him.
14:38And Harry's.
14:41What did you make of him?
14:44I don't know.
14:46Doesn't matter what I think, does it?
14:48What are you gonna do?
14:51Lost so much, hadn't I?
14:55Martin.
14:58Life, I thought I was gonna have a race.
15:00All I wanted was a normal family.
15:05You spoke to Carol?
15:06No.
15:08Look.
15:10Whatever I choose to do is my decision.
15:14Do you think a bloke like that can change?
15:20You know, I did a lot of stupid things when I was young.
15:23Stuff that I weren't proud of.
15:25I mean, but think of it like this.
15:29He's gonna be abroad.
15:30You're gonna be here.
15:31It's just gonna be a couple of phone calls, texts every now and then, innit?
15:36If he is genuine, I mean...
15:38You know, maybe it's gonna be a good thing for you.
15:42But if he is still a toe rag,
15:45you just kick him into touch,
15:47and you come back to what you know.
15:50Which is us.
15:52Thanks.
15:54See you later.
15:56See you later, Uncle Jack.
15:57See you later, mate.
16:05She could have choked on that bag.
16:07And what if it wasn't empty?
16:08I mean, what were you thinking?
16:10I wasn't.
16:13I'm sorry.
16:15I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
16:21Trying to stop it.
16:24Stop what?
16:25Everything.
16:27My dad, I've let him down. I've let him down so much.
16:31No, you haven't. Why'd you say that?
16:32I didn't even say goodbye to him.
16:37I had a speech.
16:41I couldn't go to his own funeral. I couldn't.
16:44Why not?
16:46I couldn't bear it.
16:49Watching Mum, smiling and nodding sorry for your loss when this was all her fault.
16:56Right.
16:58I know you're angry.
17:00And you want someone to blame, but none of this is your mum's fault.
17:07You're going through so much.
17:10And your whole world is changing far too fast.
17:14And now, with what's happened to your dad's stall, I mean, I can only think that Ruby was in a very dark place to have done something like that.
17:23I mean, Jack came and said that the evidence was inconclusive, but we all know that Ruby set the fire, so...
17:32And Ruby didn't set the fire.
17:36I did, I...
17:41I'm sorry.
17:43I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
17:45Ruby and Roman leaving.
17:47I've just made everything so much worse and Mum is going to lose her mind when she finds out about the weed.
17:52Oh, Lily.
17:56Oh...
17:58Well, your mum doesn't need to know about this.
18:01She's got enough on her plate.
18:05What do I do?
18:06You stop.
18:08That's what you do.
18:10The drugs, the stealing, everything.
18:13It stops. Do you understand?
18:14And, um...
18:23About...
18:24Kat's money.
18:26Bex lent me some.
18:28To help...
18:30buy it back.
18:31You're a cat.
18:32A massive apology.
18:35This is not just a bit of fun, Lily.
18:38This is potentially lethal.
18:40It's like...
18:42cigarettes for your lungs.
18:44It can mess with your brain development.
18:46Psychosis!
18:48Do you sound like a leaflet?
18:49It stops, Lily.
19:03Hi.
19:06Amy told me that those older guys are mates.
19:08Well, we could be mates.
19:10Well, we could be mates.
19:12Do you want to know me?
19:18Amy.
19:20You're going to need to call your dad.
19:21What?
19:23You need to get them out of here.
19:24Your mates?
19:25They're all right.
19:26They ain't smashing up the base.
19:27They're not my mates.
19:29They're dealers.
19:31You brought dealers into my house?
19:33I didn't mean to.
19:34I swear.
19:35I...
19:36I scored a bit of weed with Declan earlier,
19:37and he followed me here.
19:40You put drugs to my party.
19:42Amy.
19:43This was supposed to be a night about all of us getting together.
19:46Something normal, nice.
19:47I know.
19:48Not an excuse for you to get off your head.
19:50I didn't smoke it, you know.
19:51I threw it away.
19:53I'm going to call my dad.
19:55When they're gone, me and you, we're done.
19:57Understand?
20:03So?
20:05Don't keep me hanging.
20:06What's the verdict?
20:10Terry, I've had so much going on in my life lately.
20:12Sonia, just tell...
20:13No, just let me finish.
20:15Rhys.
20:17Losing Martin.
20:19Bianca.
20:20Well, me and Bianca.
20:22I've had so much bad stuff going on.
20:25And you don't want me adding to it?
20:26No.
20:27No.
20:29I've thought about it.
20:31And I'm willing to try.
20:33What?
20:35To take the first steps.
20:37In getting to know each other.
20:38Get in!
20:40Get in!
20:42Baby steps, though, yeah.
20:44I've had so much chaos.
20:45I don't want to regret this.
20:46I promise you, you won't.
20:47It's the...
20:48Baby steps.
20:52Wow.
20:54Very cozy.
20:55All right, mate.
20:56Nice loosener.
20:57Stretch for your quad.
20:58Nice.
20:59Up, right back.
21:00That's it.
21:01I still don't really get how this would get a violin to notice me.
21:02Running fast don't mean I'll ever be able to speak to her without sounding like some idiot.
21:14Oh, come on.
21:15That ain't true, mate.
21:18Next, Luke.
21:19With my dad and Harry, like, working out and talking to girls and stuff, it just seems to be something they were born with.
21:29I sometimes feel like I'm from another planet.
21:32Alien, living amongst the humans.
21:35What, like Clark Kent?
21:38Yeah, exactly.
21:40Right, well, today we're gonna leave Clark Kent behind for a bit and we're gonna unleash you in a Superman. How's that sound?
21:45Yeah, yeah, all right.
21:47All right.
21:49How's the hamstrings feeling, all right?
21:52Usual.
21:54Right, let's go.
21:56All right.
21:59Copper?
22:03If you really had Sonia's best interests at heart, you'd have never come back here, Terry.
22:09Because I remember, Mum, I'm crying at night on the stairs.
22:14You made her feel like nothing.
22:18Sonia doesn't need you.
22:20She never did.
22:22She is doing just fine without you here.
22:26This.
22:28This is fine, is it?
22:31Stuck here with you, dripping poison in her ear all day.
22:36The truth ain't poison.
22:39She doesn't want you here.
22:41Nobody does.
22:42So why don't you just get on your little speed boat and sail off into the sunset.
22:48Truth.
22:50How would she feel if she knew that you knew I was back looking for her and you didn't say a word?
22:55Think she'd turn her back on me for trying to protect her from another abusive bloke coming in and trying to ruin her life?
23:01Dream on.
23:02Well, let's find out, shall we?
23:04Why don't you go in there and tell her the truth?
23:06Truth.
23:08Truth about what?
23:16Look, I'm so sorry.
23:17My dad will be here any minute.
23:19Wait, Ames, your dad's coming. Why?
23:21Yeah, to kick Ivani's stupid mates out of the house before they wreck it.
23:24If you want them gone, they're gone, alright?
23:27You don't have trouble, bro.
23:28Look, mate.
23:29You and your boy, you gotta bounce.
23:32Now.
23:33Nah.
23:34I'm just getting started.
23:36And ain't your mate.
23:37Mate.
23:38Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you deaf.
23:39You're leaving now.
23:40Go on.
23:42You should have done that, little man.
23:43What?
23:44Definitely, please, just listen.
23:45Oi, don't touch my sister.
23:47You really shouldn't have done that.
23:49Son.
23:53So you knew that Terry was looking for me, but you never said a word?
23:59I was just trying to do what was best for you.
24:01Well, that's not your choice, is it?
24:02Son, look, I...
24:03You knew that I tried to contact him a few years ago.
24:06You knew I wanted to meet my dad.
24:08Yet you tried to send him away behind my back.
24:11You can't help yourself, can you?
24:13Always sticking your nose in Bianca knows best.
24:15It's not fair.
24:20I was just looking out for you.
24:21Should I tell you the best way to look out for me?
24:24Is to be there for me.
24:25And to support me.
24:26Yeah, well, that's what I was doing.
24:27I was just trying to control the amount of toxic weirdos that come through this door.
24:31Control?
24:33Is that your job, is it?
24:35Well, you know who else used to control me?
24:37Rhys.
24:40Son.
24:41No, just please.
24:42I can't fight with you anymore.
24:45I need some time with Terry right now.
25:09Amy!
25:10All right, you get out.
25:15Get out before I put you out.
25:17You fancy your chances, do you, old man?
25:19Oh, yeah.
25:20That's against you.
25:21What do you reckon?
25:22Hey, would you fancy your chances against me and my gang, do you?
25:24No, I didn't think you did!
25:28Dad, I'm sorry I didn't...
25:30Who invited scum like that into my house?
25:43Lemon balm and holy basil.
25:46Take your head off.
25:48Relaxation-wise.
25:50Okay.
25:54I sometimes wonder if I can ever have a normal relationship with Bianca.
26:00It's always constant chaos, you know.
26:02Just trying to have it right with her.
26:04Well, you've got a lot of your life left to live.
26:08You've seen the world.
26:10My life's nipping to the shop or having a drink in the local.
26:14Or it was.
26:16Now, everything's a reminder of Rhys.
26:19People sticking their noses in, you know.
26:21Let's get a selfie with a murderer's fiancé.
26:23I don't want my baby exposed to that.
26:26No.
26:31When I travelled, I was on my own.
26:35I bet you got photo albums overflowing with friends and family that are still around here.
26:41I never had any of that.
26:43No.
26:45You didn't have to be on your own.
26:47No.
26:48And I was an idiot for leaving it so long.
26:50So, no more time wasting.
26:52You, me and the grandkids are going to spend the next 48 hours here in all the hot spots of Walford.
26:58That should take about five minutes.
27:00Then we'll go up west.
27:0248 hours?
27:04You said you were here for a week.
27:06Oh, yeah.
27:07Well, I've got a call.
27:08Work beckons.
27:09I've got to get back to Bali.
27:10I've got to keep the cash rolling in.
27:11I mean, that boat won't pay for itself, you know.
27:16What?
27:17Well, no, I guess you'll be in touch.
27:18Work permitting.
27:19Oh, no, no, no.
27:20It ain't like that.
27:21Isn't it?
27:22I'm calling you off?
27:23I can't mean that much to you.
27:25Well, of course you do.
27:26You know what?
27:27I think you should just go.
27:29Sonia.
27:30Found and abandoned in one day.
27:31It must be a record.
27:32I am not abandoning you.
27:33In fact, quite the opposite.
27:35Well, what does that mean?
27:37Look, you're sick of people talking behind their hands and giving you the side eye.
27:41Come back to Bali.
27:42Come back to Bali with me.
27:45Nobody knows you there.
27:46Becks and the baby, too.
27:48It's a great opportunity for us to really get to know each other.
27:52Come for a couple of weeks.
27:53A few months.
27:54Six months.
27:55Hell, come and stay if you want.
27:56It's up to you.
27:57Leave all that podcast malarkey behind.
28:01What have you got to lose?
28:04What have you got to lose?
