00:00MUSIC
00:27Terry? Mum, is he...?
00:28I heard what you've been through on that podcast.
00:30I... I just wanted to reach out.
00:32Oh, here we go.
00:34I've had enough podcast freaks knocking about, yeah?
00:37Trying to take pictures of me every time I open the door.
00:39No, no, no, no, no. It's not like that.
00:41I just want to talk.
00:43You're not the first person to turn up claiming they're my dad, either.
00:47What? No, you...
00:48You wrote me a letter...
00:51..a few years back.
00:52OK, I didn't respond, but...
00:55..after everything you've been through, I felt awful.
00:57I just wanted to come and find you.
00:59Well, I wrote a letter to every Terry can I could find.
01:02So how do I know you're my dad?
01:05I can prove it.
01:07Come on, let's go inside.
01:08Sonia.
01:10Please.
01:10I'm glad you and Amy are talking again.
01:19I'm so proud of you.
01:21Mum.
01:22I am.
01:24You're so much stronger than I ever was at your age.
01:27You just keep that head up, yeah?
01:30And is that my skirt?
01:32Not tonight, it's not.
01:34Mm.
01:34Mm.
01:34Mm-hmm.
01:35Mm-hmm.
01:35Enjoy.
01:49You've got five minutes.
01:53It's just...
01:55After hearing what you've been through, I...
01:58I just wanted to reconnect, let you know that I was there for you.
02:01That your dad was there for you.
02:05Right, well, you said you can prove it.
02:07That you're my dad.
02:08Oh, yeah, yeah.
02:09That's all I had of you.
02:19Is that you and Nan?
02:22Yes.
02:23After what that Rhys bloke did and you being a new mum,
02:26I just wanted to make sure you was OK.
02:30And do what I can, if you're not.
02:33This coming from the bloke that abandoned his entire family,
02:36took everything that wasn't nailed down, do me a favour.
02:38Look, I...
02:40I even got ID to prove I am...
02:44Well, me.
02:46You're probably thinking it's too little too late.
02:49Me arriving, trying to be the hero,
02:52but I just wanted to...
02:55What?
02:57I don't know.
03:00Maybe we could start over, make a connection.
03:03To be honest, Sonia,
03:05you've been in my thoughts ever since I last laid eyes on you.
03:08I even used you as a totem
03:12to focus when I'm meditating.
03:14Oh, hang on a minute.
03:16Can someone please translate?
03:17I don't speak, nutter.
03:18No, right, that's it.
03:20Now, you can focus off.
03:22You've had your five minutes
03:23and take your tom-tom with you.
03:25Look, can you two just, um, give me some time?
03:28You're not serious?
03:30You all right?
03:31Yes.
03:34You're being taken in by this man.
03:36I just want to talk.
03:37I'm not putting him in my will
03:38and I can't do that by you shouting the odds, can I?
03:40You put a foot wrong
03:44and I'll adjust your chakra.
03:57See, that's your brother for, yeah?
03:59All right.
04:05Looking good, Barney.
04:07Thanks.
04:09Still good for the gym, matey, yeah?
04:11Dad.
04:11Well, Zach has kindly offered to take you on
04:13and train your barn.
04:15Get you strapped.
04:16Really?
04:17Sharon's brother training me in her gym?
04:20No, I'm all right, thanks.
04:21It wouldn't feel right.
04:22Don't worry about that.
04:23It's fine.
04:24It's all right.
04:24You and Zach could be pals in no time.
04:27Of course.
04:27Get your confidence going.
04:29Looking better.
04:30Feeling better.
04:31All right, love.
04:32Thanks.
04:33What's that?
04:34It's a vodka.
04:35No, mate.
04:36Change that for water now.
04:37Well, I've only just got it.
04:38I'm going to take you out for a run later.
04:39Nothing hectic.
04:40Just see what we're working with.
04:43Barney.
04:44Water.
04:45Go now.
04:49So.
04:51This mean we're good then, yeah?
04:53Everything that's gone on.
04:54Forgotten.
04:57No, no, no.
04:59No cash.
05:00Don't worry.
05:00I was training anyway.
05:01He can just tag along.
05:03Yeah?
05:04Fair enough.
05:05You just look after my boy.
05:08Yep.
05:08Main thing is, we just have some fun, yeah?
05:10Yeah.
05:12Thanks, Dad.
05:12See you later.
05:13I picked her up from the showroom this morning.
05:24I live in Bali most of the time, so I'm going to have her shipped out.
05:28She's a real beauty, ain't she?
05:29Look, I genuinely, honestly, just want to have it right between us.
05:43Why now?
05:44Well, I told you.
05:45The podcast.
05:47I couldn't get me head round what you'd been through.
05:51So you thought you'd just drop into my life uninvited?
05:55You did write me a letter.
05:57Which you ignored.
05:58Yeah.
05:59Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
06:01I was fully prepared for you to tell me where to go, but I had to reach out.
06:05I felt awful about what you'd been through.
06:09It wasn't your fault.
06:10Well, maybe if I hadn't walked out on you all those years ago, or answered the letter,
06:16then, I don't know, maybe things would be different.
06:20Guess we'll never know, eh?
06:21No.
06:25Why didn't you?
06:27What?
06:28Answer my letter.
06:30Old letter.
06:32Cowardice, I guess.
06:34Easier not to.
06:36I mean, I was so busy with work, I just thought, carry on.
06:40I know.
06:41Selfish, I know, I know.
06:44What do you do for work?
06:46Oh, I've got me own mindfulness business.
06:49It's like meditation and all that.
06:51It's taken me round the world.
06:53Had a chance to really look at myself, think deeply about me, and you, and everything, really.
07:00I know, I know I did wrong, but I'm here now, and I want to show you that I'm not that stupid little prat anymore.
07:10Sonia, I'm not getting any younger.
07:15I just want to make amends for everything I did, or everything I failed to do.
07:20So, um, can we, is there a way, is there a way we can be part of each other's lives?
07:29How long are you here for?
07:35Ah, a week.
07:37We could do some day trips, talk, and maybe we'll...
07:40I, um, I need some time.
07:42Yeah, yeah, of course, yeah.
07:44On my own?
07:45Yeah.
07:46Yeah, yeah, of course, it's a, it's a lot to take in, isn't it?
07:49Yeah, uh, I'll, I'll give you some space, get out of your hair.
07:53Right?
07:54Yeah, yeah.
07:58Sonia, I just want to thank you for hearing me out.
08:03A lot of people would have said it's more than I deserve.
08:07So, yeah, thanks.
08:18Go!
08:19Look, I just want to know if there's any problems, that's all I'm saying.
08:21Can you stop being so embarrassing?
08:26My friends are here and not being clean.
08:27Do you not...
08:28All right.
08:29Looking good, ain't you?
08:35Oh, he's nice, isn't he, that way?
08:37Oh, my God, go!
08:42Right, come on, we should get going.
08:43Oh, no, five more minutes.
08:45It's just nice to be out of the flat.
08:47What do you mean?
08:48Well, Louie's been kicking off, hasn't he?
08:50He's been moaning that he ain't got his own bedroom.
08:53But it has got me thinking.
08:55That place is too small for all of us as it is.
08:58Let alone when the baby comes.
09:00Our flat just ain't gonna cut it anymore.
09:01We need a house.
09:03Where are we supposed to get money for that?
09:05I don't know.
09:07But our family is growing and when this baby comes...
09:10Yeah.
09:11All right, leave it with me.
09:12I'll speak to my dad when I get a chance.
09:14But he's already paying for the wedding, so...
09:17Hey, Kev.
09:19Lily hasn't been in, has she?
09:21I've not seen her since this morning, no.
09:23Oh.
09:24I, er...
09:24I take it you haven't spoke to Jane yet, then?
09:27I haven't, no.
09:28I'm sorry.
09:29I want how I do, but...
09:30It's not the right time.
09:32There's just so much going on with Stacey and...
09:34And Lily's not coping at all and Jane's just, you know...
09:37Trying to keep everything together, so...
09:41But I promise, you know, I will.
09:43As soon as things come out of bed.
09:45Yeah, so, er, thanks and we'll just keep looking, I guess, er...
09:48Fancy.
09:49Going to her voicemail.
09:51She could be anywhere.
09:52Off a face on drugs, bought with stolen money.
09:55I don't know what to do.
09:59How are you?
10:00Yes.
10:01Same, Robbie, okay?
10:02Yeah, good, you?
10:03Yeah, good, man.
10:04Good.
10:05Yo!
10:06Thanks for coming.
10:07Ain't a party about me, is it?
10:09Is Lily coming?
10:10Yeah, I think later.
10:11She's just getting grief off to you.
10:13Oh, well, we'll still have a good time there, yeah?
10:14Yeah, of course.
10:15You're right, she's coming in, yeah?
10:16Yeah.
10:22I'm happy you came.
10:44I mean it.
10:45Yeah, me too.
10:47I just wanted to say all this stuff with the police and how you've handled it.
10:52You've been amazing.
10:54But now I need you to come and help me put some proper tunes on.
10:58I want this night to be chilled and relaxed, yeah?
11:00Oh, what's Sonia seen since and slung you out, is she?
11:26I gave her some space so she could think it over, all right?
11:29She ain't a mug.
11:31She ain't gonna let a slithering snake like you get back into her life just because you've
11:35grown a conscience.
11:36Oh, I'm the snake, am I?
11:38You knew I was back and didn't tell her.
11:39How's she gonna feel about that, eh?
11:42You all right, Bianca?
11:44What are you having?
11:47Who's that?
11:48Jack.
11:49Jack Browning.
11:52What, do I know you?
11:53Terry Kent.
11:55He was just a boy last time I saw you.
11:58Long time.
11:59Yeah, not long enough.
12:01Look, I'm not looking for any trouble, okay?
12:04But all the things I did, I apologise for.
12:06The pain I caused, care of your family, the whole lot.
12:09I'm sorry, all right?
12:10I'm sorry to hear about Jimmy.
12:13Rest in peace.
12:13He was a proper, proper gentleman.
12:15Yeah, because he stuck around for his family.
12:17Didn't bail out at the first sign of a dirty nappy, did he?
12:20What are you after?
12:20I'm here for Sonia.
12:24I heard that podcast and I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like for her if I was in her life.
12:29Yeah, worse, you may.
12:31I've had a good look at myself and I just want to find a version of me that I want to be.
12:37And that's why I came back.
12:38Look, I'm only in the country for a week and I want to show my daughter someone she could be proud of, someone maybe she could forgive.
12:46Look, if you want to take a swing, I ain't going to stop you and I ain't going to fight you back.
12:53And we both know I deserve it.
12:58I need some fresh air.
12:59Nice to see you, Jack.
13:01Looking good.
13:04He is dreaming if he thinks that waffle's going to get his feet back under Sonia's table.
13:09Over my dead body.
13:10Nugget said you needed me.
13:17They said that you invited them.
13:19That's right, isn't it, Ivani?
13:21We go way back.
13:22Yeah.
13:23Oh, come in then.
13:27What are you playing at?
13:28You mentioned party.
13:29I saw a business opportunity.
13:31So you followed me?
13:33I need to try out some customs.
13:34I'll get by on your puppet money, can I?
13:36Well, it ain't that sort of party.
13:38Well, that's about to be.
13:39You know this house belongs to a copper.
13:42You need to go.
13:43Now.
13:44I haven't seen a copper that was about, though.
13:47All I say is a scared little girl.
13:50I've never seen it.
13:54Lily?
13:54Yeah, would you please give me a call?
14:00Where is your silly, silly mum?
14:07What's this?
14:09Man, I'm so sorry.
14:16I didn't call you both.
14:16I was just out.
14:17This.
14:18Charlie was playing with this.
14:20You stupid, stupid girl!
14:22It, er, bad timing?
14:28No.
14:29No.
14:31I was going to ask you, actually.
14:33Is there any proof of Ruby setting fire to the stall?
14:36You spoke to Slater's.
14:37Telling me there's a lack of evidence.
14:38Oh.
14:41You all right?
14:41I was just expecting, er, don't matter.
14:48Terry?
14:50Yeah.
14:51Bumped into him.
14:53Now he's.
14:53What did you make of him?
14:58I don't know.
14:59It doesn't matter what I think, does it?
15:03What are you going to do?
15:03I lost so much, haven't I?
15:09Martin.
15:12Life, I thought I was going to have a race.
15:14All I wanted was a normal family.
15:16You spoke to Carol?
15:20No.
15:22Look.
15:24Whatever I choose to do is my decision.
15:28Do you think a bloke like that can change?
15:34You know, I did a lot of stupid things when I was young.
15:38Stuff that I weren't proud of.
15:41I mean, think of it like this.
15:43He's going to be abroad.
15:44You're going to be here.
15:45It's just going to be a couple of phone calls, texts every now and then, isn't it?
15:50If he is genuine, I mean...
15:53You know, maybe it's going to be a good thing for you.
15:56But if he is still a toe rag,
15:59you just kick him into touch
16:00and you come back to what you know.
16:04Which is us.
16:08Thanks.
16:09See you later.
16:10See you, Uncle Jack.
16:12See you later, mate.
16:15She could have choked on that bag.
16:21And what if it wasn't empty?
16:23I mean, what were you thinking?
16:24I wasn't.
16:27I'm sorry.
16:29I'm sorry.
16:30I'm so sorry.
16:31I'm trying to stop it.
16:38Stop what?
16:39Everything.
16:41My dad, I've let him down.
16:42I've let him down so much.
16:45No, you haven't.
16:46Why did you say that?
16:47I didn't even say goodbye to him, Dad.
16:51But in a speech...
16:52I couldn't go to his own funeral.
16:57I couldn't.
16:58Why not?
17:00I couldn't bear it.
17:03Watching Mum...
17:04smiling and nodding sorry for your loss
17:08when this was all her fault.
17:10Right.
17:12I know you're angry.
17:14And you want someone to blame.
17:16But none of this is your mum's fault.
17:21You're going through so much.
17:25And your whole world is changing far too fast.
17:28And now, with what's happened to your dad's stall,
17:32I mean, I can only think that Ruby was in a very dark place
17:36to have done something like that.
17:38I mean, Jack came and said that the evidence was inconclusive,
17:41but we all know that Ruby set the fire, so...
17:46And Ruby didn't set the fire.
17:50I did.
17:55I'm sorry.
17:56I'm sorry.
17:57It's all my fault.
17:59Ruby and Roman leaving.
18:01I've just made everything so much worse
18:03and Mum is going to lose her mind
18:04when she finds out about the weed.
18:06Oh, Lily.
18:10Oh.
18:11Well, your mum doesn't need to know about this.
18:15She's got enough on her plate.
18:19What do I do?
18:20You stop.
18:22That's what you do.
18:23The drugs, the stealing, everything.
18:26It stops.
18:27Do you understand?
18:28And, um...
18:34About Kat's money.
18:40Bex lent me some
18:41to help
18:43buy it back.
18:45You're a Kat, a massive apology.
18:49This is not just a bit of fun, Lily.
18:52This is potentially lethal.
18:54It's like...
18:55Cigarettes for your lungs.
18:59It can mess with your brain development.
19:01Psychosis!
19:02Do you sound like a leaflet?
19:03It stops, Lily.
19:17All right?
19:20Amy told me that those older guys are mates.
19:24Well, we could be mates.
19:26You want to know me?
19:26You're going to need to call your dad.
19:35What?
19:37You need to get them out of here.
19:38Your mates?
19:39They're all right.
19:40They ain't smashing up the base.
19:41Amy, they're not my mates.
19:43They're dealers.
19:46You brought dealers into my house?
19:47I didn't mean to.
19:49I swear.
19:49I scored a bit of weed with Declan earlier
19:52and he followed me here.
19:54You brought drugs to my party.
19:56Amy, this was supposed to be a night
19:58about all of us getting together.
20:00Something normal, nice.
20:01I know.
20:02Not an excuse for you to get off your head.
20:04I didn't smoke it, you know.
20:05I threw it away.
20:07I'm going to call my dad.
20:09When they're gone,
20:10me and you, we're done.
20:11Understand?
20:17Son.
20:19Don't keep me hanging.
20:20What's the verdict?
20:24Terry, I've had so much going on
20:25in my life lately.
20:26Sonia, just tell me.
20:27No, just let me finish.
20:29Rhys.
20:31Losing Martin.
20:33Bianca.
20:33Well, me and Bianca.
20:36I've had so much bad stuff going on.
20:39And you don't want me adding to it?
20:40No.
20:41No.
20:43I've thought about it.
20:45And I'm willing to try.
20:47What?
20:49To take the first steps
20:51in getting to know each other.
20:52Get in!
20:53Get in!
20:56Baby steps, though, yeah.
20:57Yeah, yeah.
20:58I've had so much chaos.
20:59I don't want to regret this.
21:00I promise you, you won't.
21:01It's baby steps.
21:06Wow.
21:09Very cosy.
21:10All right, mate?
21:15Nice loosener.
21:17Stretch for your quad.
21:19Nice.
21:20Up, right, back.
21:20That's it.
21:21I still don't really get how this would get Avani to notice me.
21:25Running fast don't mean I'll ever be able to speak to her without sounding like some idiot.
21:28Oh, come on.
21:29That ain't true, mate.
21:30Thanks, Luke.
21:33With my dad and Harry, things like working out and talking to girls and stuff just seem to be something they were born with.
21:43I sometimes feel like I'm from another planet.
21:47Alien living amongst the humans.
21:50Well, like Clark Kent.
21:52Yeah, exactly.
21:53Hmm.
21:54All right, well, today we're going to leave Clark Kent behind for a bit and we're going to unleash you in a Superman.
21:58How's that sound?
21:59Yeah.
22:00All right.
22:00All right.
22:02All right.
22:03How's the hamstrings feeling, all right?
22:05As usual.
22:08Right, let's go.
22:10All right.
22:14Copper.
22:15If you really had Sonia's best interests at heart, you'd have never come back here, Terry.
22:23Because I remember my mum crying at night on the stairs.
22:28You made her feel like nothing.
22:32Sonia doesn't need you.
22:34She never did.
22:36She is doing just fine without you here.
22:40This.
22:42This is fine, is it?
22:45Stuck here with you, dripping poison in her ear all day.
22:50The truth ain't poison.
22:53She doesn't want you here.
22:55Nobody does.
22:57So why don't you just get on your little speedboat and sail off into the sunset?
23:02Truth.
23:04How would she feel if she knew that you knew I was back looking for her and you didn't say a word?
23:10I think she'd turn her back on me for trying to protect her from another abusive bloke coming in and trying to ruin her life.
23:16Dream on.
23:17Well, let's find out, shall we?
23:18Why don't you go in there and tell her the truth?
23:22Truth about what?
23:23Look, I'm so sorry.
23:32My dad'll be here any minute.
23:34Wait, Ames, your dad's coming.
23:35Why?
23:35Yeah, to kick Ivani's stupid mates out of the house before they wreck it.
23:39You want them gone, they're gone, all right?
23:40Look, mate, you and your boy, you've got to bounce.
23:46Now.
23:47Nah, I'm just getting started.
23:50And ain't your mate, mate.
23:52Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you deaf.
23:53You're leaving now, go on.
23:56You shouldn't have done that, little man.
23:57What?
23:58Definitely, please, just listen.
23:59Oi, don't touch my sister.
24:01You really shouldn't have done that.
24:03So you knew that Terry was looking for me, but you never said a word?
24:13I was just trying to do what was best for you.
24:15Well, that's not your choice, is it?
24:17Son, look, I...
24:17You knew that I tried to contact him a few years ago.
24:21You knew I wanted to meet my dad.
24:23Yet you tried to send him away behind my back.
24:25You can't help yourself, can you?
24:27Always sticking your nose in, Bianca knows best.
24:32It's not fair.
24:34I was just looking out for you.
24:36Shall I tell you the best way to look out for me?
24:38It's to be there for me and to support me.
24:41Yeah, but that's what I was doing.
24:42I was just trying to control the amount of toxic weirdos that come through this store.
24:46Control?
24:47Is that your job, is it?
24:49Well, you know who else used to control me?
24:51Reece.
24:54Son.
24:54No, just please, I can't fight with you anymore.
24:59I need some time with Terry right now.
25:01I need some time with her.
25:08I need some time with Terry.
25:09Hangy!
25:10Come on.
25:11All right.
25:11Hangy!
25:11Hangy!
25:23Right, you get out. Get out before I put you out.
25:31You fancy your chances, do you, old man?
25:33Oh, yeah.
25:34That's against you.
25:35What, you reckon?
25:36Hey, would you fancy your chances against me and my gang, do you?
25:38No, I didn't think you did.
25:42Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't...
25:49Who invited scum like that into my house?
25:53Lemon balm and holy basil. Take your head off. Relaxation-wise.
26:04OK.
26:08I sometimes wonder if I can ever have a normal relationship with Bianca.
26:12Oh.
26:13It's always constant chaos, you know. Just trying to have it right with her.
26:18Well, you've got a lot of your life left to live.
26:21You've seen the world.
26:24My life's nipping to the shop or having a drink in the local.
26:28Or it was.
26:30Now, everything's a reminder of Rhys.
26:33People sticking their noses in, you know.
26:35Let's get a selfie with a murderer's fiancé.
26:37I don't want my baby exposed to that.
26:40No.
26:44When I travelled, I was on my own.
26:48I bet you got photo albums overflowing with friends and family that are still around here.
26:54I never had any of that.
26:57No.
26:59You didn't have to be on your own.
27:01No.
27:02And I was an idiot for leaving it so long.
27:04So, no more time-wasting.
27:05You, me and the grandkids are going to spend the next 48 hours here in all the hot spots of Walford.
27:11That should take about five minutes.
27:14Then we'll go up west.
27:1648 hours?
27:18You said you were here for a week.
27:20Oh, yeah.
27:21Well, I've got a call.
27:22Work beckons.
27:23I've got to get back to Bali.
27:24I've got to keep the cash rolling in.
27:25I mean, that boat won't pay for itself, you know.
27:30What?
27:31Well, no, I guess you'll be in touch.
27:32Work permitting.
27:33Oh, no, no, no.
27:34It ain't like that.
27:35Isn't it?
27:36One call and you're off.
27:37I can't mean that much to you.
27:39Well, of course you do.
27:40You know what?
27:41I think you should just go.
27:43Sonia.
27:44Found and abandoned in one day.
27:45It must be a record.
27:46I am not abandoning you.
27:47In fact, quite the opposite.
27:49And what does that mean?
27:51Look, you're sick of people talking behind their hands and giving out
27:53the side eye.
27:56Come back to Bali with me.
27:59Nobody knows you.
28:00They're Becks and the baby too.
28:02It's a great opportunity for us to really get to know each other.
28:06Come for a couple of weeks, a few months, six months.
28:08Hell, come and stay if you want.
28:11It's up to you.
28:12Leave all that podcast malarkey behind.
28:17What have you got to lose?
28:23On iPlayer, a stylish restaurant, the kitchen chaos.
28:31Head chef is battling her personal demons and the staff are at boiling points.
28:36Press red now and feel the heat.
28:38Here next to Pickle Cottage with Stacey and Joe.
28:41Lieutenant.
28:42We're all going to go to the Union 4.
28:43Unit 3.
28:44Let us call the rectangle.
28:45We'll see you next time.
28:47Go for it.
28:52Update.
28:54You
