00:00Music
00:20I don't know what you're talking about.
00:24I don't know.
00:25Oh.
00:27Oh, man.
00:29Oh.
00:30Oh, man.
00:32Oh, man.
00:34Oh, man.
00:35Oh, man.
00:37Oh, man.
00:39Oh, man.
00:42Oh, man.
00:43Oh, man.
00:44Oh, man.
00:49I've rung Gina, told her we're not going to open the bar today.
00:59Not till we know Harry's all right.
01:00I'm sure he's fine.
01:02He's probably stayed at a mate's or hotel or something.
01:06You need to pack your stuff and go.
01:08No.
01:09We need to talk.
01:10Oh, we are done talking.
01:12You need to go today, and I ain't asking.
01:17Look at me, Teddy.
01:20Look at me.
01:22Do I look like a cold-blooded murderer to you?
01:26It was an accident.
01:28I mean, it could have gone either way.
01:29It could be her standing here right now instead of me.
01:31You killed her.
01:33Cold or boiling blood, you killed her, Nick.
01:37I can't even look at you anymore.
01:40Just go.
01:41Now.
01:43No.
01:45You can call the old Billy if you want.
01:48But he is my son.
01:49And if you really think he needs his heart broken again and needs to know the truth,
01:55then he's going to hear it from me.
01:58Well, you see, this is why I hate doing things online.
02:06I should have baked it myself.
02:08Maybe they thought it was 70s pain.
02:09Oh, I mean.
02:10Well, I tried ringing it, but of course, you know, flipping bank holiday, innit?
02:15Honestly, it's fine.
02:16I really like it.
02:17As long as all the family are there celebrating together, that is all that matters.
02:20Isn't that right, Peter?
02:21Yeah.
02:22Yeah, of course.
02:23We really appreciate it.
02:24Oh, no.
02:25What's this?
02:26Well, I think the French call it champagne, Ian.
02:29And if we're going to toast my grandson's bride-to-be and new baby, then, well, I'd try it first, didn't I?
02:35Yeah, but this is expensive stuff.
02:36We can't afford to hand this out by the gallon.
02:39How I gave birth to a son so tight he only cries out of one eye is beyond me.
02:42I am not being tight, OK?
02:44But I am not overindulging the nightmare side of the family, which we are only related to because his mum likes a double life in a bunk-up.
02:51Elaine gets a whiff of this, she will bankrupt us.
02:53Ian, they are family.
02:55And nothing brings family together better than a wedding and a new baby.
02:59So today, we come together, all right?
03:04Oh.
03:05Yes, Felix.
03:07Those balloons up yet?
03:09Oh, what?
03:12Final birth plan with the midwife today?
03:15You excited?
03:16Yeah, of course.
03:19Uh, work thing.
03:23Yeah.
03:23Yeah, yeah.
03:24OK.
03:26The electorate's have gone down at the Albert.
03:28I'll have to go and sort it.
03:29But don't worry, there will still be a ball, Cinderella.
03:32Sorry, we ain't open yet.
03:40Oh.
03:41You all right?
03:42I know, Zach.
03:47Sharon's told me everything, and this morning she sent me this.
03:50She wants me to show you, so you don't do anything stupid.
03:52I know this changes everything, and I know you're going to want to go and see Nicola, but Sharon says to keep calm and let it play out.
04:06You promise me you'll do that?
04:09I know it's a lot to take in, but promise me, yeah?
04:14You leave me alone, please.
04:15I know it.
04:16Zach.
04:36You all right, me?
04:38No, been better, Bill.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Honey told me that she saw a story pop up about it.
04:47Just wanted to check on you, yeah?
04:54Harry.
04:56Listen, why don't you come back to ours, eh?
04:59You jump in the shower, and I'll take you for some breakfast.
05:03Come on, what do you think?
05:04You know what?
05:10I am so proud that the builders' bunk-wrap culture is still up and running.
05:15Even on a double bubble, bankology.
05:17I just want to go home.
05:18Me too.
05:20But they were making good progress inside last time we checked,
05:22and I know that you wanted to bling it up a bit.
05:25What the pump is like, what the pump is like.
05:27Who are we to change it?
05:28Absolutely right, darling.
05:30Yeah, agreed.
05:31Now, remember, engagement party.
05:33Best behaviour, which means...
05:35No antagonising or assaulting Eve.
05:37Very good.
05:39Feel a lot calmer if I'm in with it, if you're lying.
05:41Oh, did she make up right all right?
05:42Yeah, yeah, but, um, mate, it was pretty broke up.
05:44Mum's so young.
05:45Let me know if you're seeing, yeah?
05:48Tell you, boy, any news on the final checks on this place yet?
05:51Yeah, final few tonight, and you can have the keys tomorrow.
05:54What?
05:55You are joking, get in here!
05:57Ah!
05:59We're going home, darlings!
06:00Oh, poor bird, you've got your local back!
06:03Woo-hoo!
06:04Oi!
06:05Turn it down, will you?
06:07People might not want to dance on Martin's grave, Josh, yet.
06:19Have you not got something more productive you can do to sit around on that thing all day?
06:22Not really, no.
06:22There she is.
06:26Now, I know we're out job hunting today, but I weren't expecting you out that early.
06:29Early bird catches the worm, right?
06:32Who was that?
06:33Where are you going?
06:33To my ring.
06:34Make a phone call.
06:35Do something productive.
06:37Give him a break.
06:39He's just a young kid having fun.
06:40Look, he's my son, all right?
06:42I know what's best for him, so let me worry about him and you worry about paying your sister back, all right?
06:47I'd better go and find myself a job, then.
06:49At least I know where I stand.
06:53Pressure's rubbish on that shower, isn't it?
06:56It'd be better off having a wash down in the sink.
06:59Nah, cheers, Bill.
06:59I really appreciate it.
07:02Listen, I don't want to, like, make myself busy, but...
07:08Well, it's obvious you didn't go home last night.
07:12I just wondered whether you needed to talk.
07:14There's nothing to talk about.
07:17Your life ain't fair, is it?
07:18Otherwise she'd still be alive.
07:24She didn't get on with my mum and dad.
07:26So we had words, and I walked out.
07:29For good.
07:31Shh.
07:35I'm sorry, H, but, uh...
07:38It's too short to fall out with your family.
07:41Take it from someone who knows, eh?
07:42Hello.
07:43I need you.
07:47I just thought it was a real kick up the back side.
08:04Well, I know Harvey's doing this bit, burying the city boys, the races and that, but we'd still need to make some money and fast.
08:11Mo, will you stop lying up the builders?
08:17Right, you're the square schemer.
08:19You must have some ideas.
08:20I've got ideas, all right.
08:22You need to keep that hard hat on, though.
08:24Look, fat Elvis has got a job, not a car cleaner.
08:29I'll get the birdseed out and let the pigeons do us a favour.
08:32No, we can't rely on pigeons this time, Mo.
08:34We need money fast.
08:35Get your knickers in a twist, something a crock hat.
08:39Oh, Jean.
08:40Do you fancy only a couple of quid, cash in hand?
08:42Yeah, cool.
08:43Hold your horses.
08:44What's it for and how much?
08:45Oh, Lauren and Peter's engagement party.
08:47Kathy wants to move it to Harry's barn.
08:48I mean, he'd help serve him drinks and, like, clean up after.
08:51What do you think?
08:51Yes, let's get clacking.
08:52Yeah, great.
08:53What, now?
08:53Yeah, now.
08:54Actually, we could do one more person.
08:56Can you think of a third?
08:57Morning, ladies.
08:58What's on the agenda today, then?
08:59All I'm trying to say is we can work this out.
09:04Your mum, she's gone.
09:07If this was just on mum, I'd pack her bags for her.
09:12But this is on you too, Dad, and you know it.
09:16How could you not tell me as soon as you found out?
09:19There ain't nothing left to say.
09:22I'm done with you.
09:24Do you remember this?
09:26What, you want to walk down memory lane with me now, Dad?
09:29Leave it out.
09:29Do you remember it, yes or no?
09:33Yes.
09:35Sit down, please.
09:41From the moment you were born, I knew you'd be a fighter.
09:46Some kids, you can just see it in their faces.
09:50I had it all planned.
09:53When you were old enough, I was going to take you over to Repton.
09:56ABAs, British title, European, world title, the lot.
10:02And I got you this for your third birthday to wear.
10:06Your mum took it off you the day after.
10:09Said you're going to choke on it.
10:10But I still took you to Repton, though.
10:14Till you was what?
10:15About nine.
10:18And then they let you spa.
10:21I saw you take a couple of digs.
10:23And you didn't mind.
10:24And you didn't mind.
10:26But I did.
10:29It never took you back.
10:32She was worried about you choking.
10:35And I didn't want to see you get hurt.
10:40And now look what we've done.
10:45Now I'm sorry, H.
10:48More than you know.
10:49Because I'm a fighter, too.
10:55And I will never stop fighting to keep you in my life.
11:00Because you and Barney,
11:02you are my life.
11:04Now I will never stop fighting to show you tomorrow night.
11:13United StatesProbments here,
11:17United StatesProbments.
11:25And now I'm cold.
11:26I think we need to talk, don't you?
11:54Sorry again for keeping you.
11:55Baby's heartbeat is strong.
11:57Probably excited for a punch-up.
11:59They're going to their first Bills bash in a minute,
12:02so it should be fun.
12:03We got engaged, so we're celebrating.
12:06No punch-ups.
12:08I need to take this if that's right.
12:12Now, you're happy with the birth plan we've outlined?
12:15Yeah, I'm happy. We're happy.
12:17And obviously everything looks fine,
12:19but you're aware of the procedures
12:21if Baby needs a little help on arrival.
12:23Um, yeah, babies born to mums on methadone,
12:26they usually stay in hospital for, like, a week?
12:29Usually, yes, but cases do vary.
12:32Oh. So it could be longer?
12:34It depends.
12:35If mum's on a very high dose, there's more risk of complications.
12:38Obviously, you're following an arc.
12:40So if I'm on a high dose and then I go into labour early and the baby comes...
12:45Oh, no, no.
12:46Lauren, as far as I can tell, everything should be fine.
12:49Should be?
12:51We don't know that for sure, do we?
12:53I mean, for all we know, the baby will come out addicted.
12:56Sorry, Annan.
12:57Sorry about that.
12:59Um, everything looking good?
13:01All your scans are positive.
13:02You're on a steady dose.
13:03And baby's heartbeat is strong.
13:05And from what I can tell,
13:06you're going to be very able and loving mother and father.
13:10I suggest you go and celebrate as a family.
13:15Yeah, thank you very much.
13:17Cheers.
13:18I'll see you soon.
13:25All alright?
13:29Brilliant.
13:30Let's get you ready.
13:31It's party time.
13:36All smoke and mirrors with you, innit?
13:39Everything you do.
13:41Everything you say.
13:45You're just going to sit there, are you?
13:47If Teddy comes home and you're here...
13:49He'll do what?
13:50What, Teddy's going to kill me, is he?
13:52Cos he didn't kill that young girl.
13:54The keys they arrested did.
13:56Liar.
13:58Length you go to to keep me from my son.
14:02Am I wrong?
14:03I'm wrong.
14:04What, the police have got the wrong bloke?
14:06How about I go to the station, yeah?
14:07Tell them all your silly stories and just see which one they believe.
14:10And then, guess what?
14:11I'll come back here.
14:13When my son is home.
14:16And I'll tell him the whole story too.
14:19Teddy didn't kill that girl.
14:22If he could kill a woman, I'd have been dead years ago.
14:25I killed Shireen.
14:31We had an argument.
14:33She fell.
14:35Hit her head on a rock and...
14:38I just stood there.
14:40Watched her bleed out.
14:42The bloke they arrested buried her.
14:45Teddy helped me cover it up.
14:47And do you know what?
14:48I'd do it all again.
14:51Because as I keep telling you, I will do anything to keep my family together.
14:59You could go to the police.
15:02And you could tell Barney the truth too.
15:04But the question is, Zach.
15:07Is it worth the risk?
15:11What with your daughter and your ex living in that little flat in Wakefield only three hours away?
15:18What do you reckon?
15:20Now.
15:24Get out of my sight.
15:25Get out of my sight.
15:45This is tragic.
15:47How much are they charging you for this?
15:49We could have done it at my place for free.
15:51We're celebrating.
15:52It's hard to toast young love over pie, mash and liquor, isn't it?
15:54Yeah, I know, but...
15:56Could have saved a fortune.
15:58Congratulations to you both.
16:00Thank you very much.
16:01Anything you need, you just let me know, yeah?
16:03Hey, Marie. Thank you.
16:04Oh, right on cue.
16:05Oh, hors d'oeuvres!
16:07There's meat or veg...
16:09Veggie selection.
16:11Veggie selection.
16:12Is this a wine-up?
16:14Am I supposed to be shelling out for senior service service as well?
16:17I mean, do you know what?
16:18I don't want to have a word with your gran, all right?
16:19Never mind the electrics, all right?
16:20This...
16:21This is daylight robbery.
16:22Anyone feel welcome, champers?
16:26You and all?
16:28Have you had half of them already?
16:29Of course not, Bailey, babe.
16:31I'm glass collecting.
16:33Who from? There's no-one else here.
16:35Guess your son's Mr Popular, then.
16:38Like father, like son.
16:40All right. Cheers, Mo.
16:41Get rid of the Three Stooges, please.
16:44And can we have some fruit juice?
16:46Not everyone can partake of alcohol.
16:55Party time!
16:57All right, Colin?
16:58Thanks.
17:00You all right?
17:02Yeah.
17:04Um, are you sure your parents aren't going to be in here later?
17:07Oh, nah, trust me.
17:08Once they've had one cocktail, they'll be out for the night.
17:13You okay?
17:15You're not...
17:17You're not regretting...
17:18Nah.
17:19Nah.
17:20Of course not.
17:21It's...
17:22It's no biggie, is it?
17:24Well, I think it is.
17:28Like, you mean a lot to me.
17:30So...
17:33You gonna sit down, then, or what?
17:36Come on.
17:37Cool.
17:44Ravi, are you busy?
17:46Yeah, rushed off my feet.
17:49Your boyfriend's already been in, asking for work, but...
17:52We've got nothing at the minute, so, er...
17:55Sorry.
17:58Although, if he keeps carrying on like this,
18:00we might need a new chef.
18:02He's all over the place.
18:05Will you call me back?
18:07Listen, I'm sorry.
18:08I will sort you a new place, don't worry.
18:11Kiss Doddy from me, yeah?
18:15Zack.
18:17What have you done?
18:18It takes a lot to find the right person to put a ring on.
18:27Well, for some of us, anyway.
18:29Obviously not hard to find a glass of champagne.
18:30What's that?
18:31Three? Four?
18:32Five.
18:3442% on marriages and a divorce.
18:36Oh!
18:37Might as well throw in the towel now, then.
18:39Anyone want to top up?
18:41Yeah, thanks.
18:42I heard the Vic's ready to open again.
18:43That's good news, isn't it?
18:44Yeah.
18:45It'd be great to get the family together again.
18:48And my little girl back home.
18:49Oh, actually, Dad, I think I might stay on at Junior's for a bit.
18:52It's just, it's nice and quiet, isn't it, about the kids.
18:54And he's away, so...
18:55With a blink of the eye, they've flown the nest.
19:06Look, I've got to take my hat off to you, darling.
19:08For me, it was one and done.
19:10The pain of pushing Linda out.
19:12I mean, she had a head the size of a bowling ball.
19:15You get that epidural in ASAP.
19:17Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
19:18Just gassing there for this one.
19:20It's good for Mum, it's good for baby and for all of us.
19:24We've only just got off that slippery slope, haven't we?
19:26So we don't need an epidural turning into an avalanche.
19:36What?
19:47If you're planning on staying in here again, we've got one of them black beds into it.
19:54Have you called my Dad again?
19:56Cos if you have, you'll end up down that pit like Phil.
19:58No, no, I didn't.
20:01Not this time.
20:04Sorry, I've...
20:07I've got this gift of doing the wrong thing.
20:12I do know that there's more to this, so...
20:18I don't know what, and I don't really want to know.
20:23But I do know that your Dad loves you.
20:28Well, he'd smile, but, you know, it's true.
20:33I had a nephew.
20:37I made life ill for him, and I'd never forgive myself.
20:40And I know that if he was still around that, I'd spend all my time trying to make up to him, you know?
20:52But I can't.
20:53Come on.
20:54Look, whatever your Dad did to hurt you, I know, I know that it's going to be eating him away the rest of his life.
21:09So if you love him, you don't have to forgive him.
21:15Just give him a chance, you know?
21:18Give him a chance to make it up to you.
21:19I'll be out in a minute.
21:20I'll be out in a minute.
21:21Well, we'll both be out in a minute, then, won't we?
21:25I've got the electric sorted.
21:26And Elaine told me about Ian being a prat.
21:27That's one dull spark I've never been able to fix.
21:28I am so sorry.
21:29yeah, he is a prat, but he's just the tip of the ice and the stomach.
21:30That thing I let him do is help him out is help him.
21:31I'll be sharp.
21:32That thing I do is to give him something to give you the idea of his take, and he's
21:35never seen a lot of después of his take in one minute.
21:36I'm going to make your take on the table.
21:37I'm going to make sure he's not a bit dakuza.
21:38I'm going to make sure he's on the table.
21:39I'm going to make sure he's on the table.
21:40I'll make sure he's on the table, and that's not a bit of a dichotomy.
21:41I'm going to take the table and we'll have to take it, and we'll
21:42take it into the table.
21:43I'll be out in a minute.
21:44Well, we'll both be out in a minute, then, won't we?
21:59at the minute. It's just, um, it's all been going really well. I've sort of let myself
22:10forget about all the risks I've cut my baby through. But it felt real again today. It
22:21felt real. All the things that could happen, the things that could already be happening.
22:26I mean, my baby could be born addicted, and it could struggle, and that is all my fault.
22:33No, Lauren, look, you are a good mum. A good mum who fell into a hole, but you got help,
22:41and you got yourself better, and you kept your baby safe, and that, my darling, is all
22:46down to you. And guess what? In a few weeks, you're going to have to keep them safe for
22:53the rest of their lives. So come on, save those tears, because you are going to need them.
22:59Oh, no, no. Is this déjà vu of you two just ran out of ideas to traumatise me?
23:20No. No, I'm just clearing out some clothes. Well, Dad led a search party to the pub by
23:27the smell of him. So, yeah, well played on finding Harry, everyone. You know, they say
23:34walking's supposed to help with worry. After 5.7 miles, I disagree. So, I guess I'll be
23:40in my room, worrying. Look, you two could have had a better mum, but none of them would have
23:46loved you more than me. I'll put these on, shall I? Block out all the shit.
23:56Take it you didn't find them at the bottom of a bottle, either?
24:06I guess I'll pack your bag for you.
24:08Eh?
24:16Harry? I, er, I heard about, you know. Well, at least you know for sure I didn't
24:23do it now, right? Yeah, look, I'm... I don't know how to say this, and I don't even know
24:30if I should be saying it, but when I met her neighbour, Felicity, she told me something,
24:36that I think you'd have the right to know. What?
24:44So, no news on the job front, then, no?
24:49Listen, about earlier.
24:52I'm sorry, I just, I'm just really worried about him.
24:54You're talking about it like it's nothing to do with me?
24:56And as far as I'm concerned, he's our boy, right?
25:00You've been our rock, Big, and if there is a circle of trust, you are right in the middle of it.
25:11I need all the help I can get with him.
25:30What now?
25:40You're going to drag me out into the street, kicking and screaming, because that's what
25:43you'll have to do.
25:43For once in your life, just do what's right for us, please.
25:45That is exactly what I'm trying to do!
25:47You ruined his life, Nick. You ruined our lives.
25:50He can't even look at me.
25:51My son.
25:53Can't even look at me.
25:55Look what you've done to us.
25:56Can you even see it, eh?
25:58I could have told him the truth, but I couldn't.
26:03I could have sold you down the river to have a glimmer of hope that would make me look just
26:07a little bit better, but I couldn't.
26:13Because I love him.
26:16And you love me too, Ted.
26:23And you need me.
26:24If you've got a chance of getting our son back, you need me.
26:31As the scapegoat.
26:33As the manipulator.
26:36As the mother.
26:38And you know it.
26:40And you know that I am not going anywhere until we get our son back.
26:46What's happened, H?
26:54What have you done?
26:57Shireen was pregnant.
26:59You killed her.
27:02And my baby.
27:09Now we've both lost a kid, haven't we, Dad?
27:11Is this cockney slang?
27:18No, darling.
27:19Just a baker who can't spell.
27:21I wouldn't worry about the cake.
27:23I'd be more worried about the possibility of a baby ear.
27:26A baby what?
27:27Now, hold on.
27:28I've apologised to Lauren for being insensitive, OK?
27:30So there's no need to pour scorn on a legacy name.
27:32Well, one ear is one too many.
27:35This is for you.
27:37Can you go?
27:38That's for you.
27:38Shall we have mine?
27:40OK.
27:41We're going to propose a toast.
27:42Oh, thank you.
27:44To Lauren, Peter, and the future.
27:47To family.
27:48That's right.
27:55Don't tell me I missed the party.
