00:00I'm grateful for everything Mum's done for me, you know, with what I went through.
00:19And I want to help her. I want to be there for her.
00:22But this, with Raymond, is too much. And I'm sorry. She is too. She's just in her own world at the minute.
00:37Being behind a bar, being sober, seeing drunk people day in, day out, it's hard.
00:45But dealing with her like this makes it harder.
00:48And I just... I just don't know if I've got it in me to look after her and myself, you know?
00:58Well, I should be the hospital. Yeah. With my son.
01:02Still, I'm back here checking on Nigel's. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I know.
01:06How is Raymond? He's fine. No thanks to Denzel and your Mum.
01:11Oh, I'm so sorry.
01:15Look, I wanted to apologise and...
01:18Well, I wanted to talk to someone who knew how I felt.
01:21Well, sometimes you...
01:22Well, you want to do the right thing, but you're in the hardest place to do that.
01:26Because up here, you know, behind the bars, it's all the same.
01:30I mean, you're an alcoholic who's running the pub.
01:35And I'm someone who just tried to kill himself.
01:38Now, it's my job to look after Nigel's mental welfare.
01:44Maybe you both can't help taking on too much, eh?
01:47Well, Nigel needs me. And Raymond needs me.
01:50And you need to work out whether...
01:52Well, your Mum needs you and you're in a good place to do right by her.
01:56I'll get these.
02:01Cheers.
02:03You were having a go at me the other week for how much my nails cost.
02:06They look great, by the way.
02:08See, Eve gets it. And that is why she's my favourite family member.
02:12Look, I traded in the bike that you're paying for it.
02:14So, they're not your nails. It's an asset. For the family.
02:18My beauty is an asset for the family, Ravi.
02:21Yeah, it's only an asset if it doesn't get nicked.
02:23I mean, you're going to put a lot of people's noses out of joint around you.
02:27Look, let's not Debbie Downer, Dad's dream of a car, OK?
02:30He worked hard for it.
02:33And he deserves it.
02:34Yeah, I agree.
02:36Good play, Dad.
02:36See? Thanks, kids.
02:38You're welcome.
02:39But you're both still grounded up to putting Raymond in us, previously.
02:42So, nice try.
02:44Would have been better in black.
02:46Would have been better in black.
02:47There's someone privy to their accounts. I hope that's a rental.
02:55Got another invoice through from that Mack and Sons last night.
02:58I tried the number, but he's dead.
03:00Yeah, I told you I'd sort it.
03:01Yeah, I know.
03:02But if Ravi's doing something dodgy...
03:05Oh, do they look worried?
03:07No, so neither should you be.
03:09Any chance on an advance on my wages, then?
03:15I'm in a bit of a hole this month, and like you said, they don't seem worried, so...
03:20Yeah, well, I won't be fooled by the car.
03:23They are in a hole, too, you know.
03:24So just be happy you're getting paid at all, innit?
03:26Dry bread.
03:47Good for hangovers.
03:49She wanted to throw the one in the freezer.
03:51Count yourself lucky.
03:54What time is it?
03:55Time for you to get up and clean up.
03:57And then find yourself over at the Vic and help them out.
04:00If it was Jordan, I would have thrown a brick at him.
04:02But he didn't pour it down their neck.
04:03Just give the kid a break.
04:05He's lucky I didn't break his leg.
04:06Yeah, you're lucky your little mate ran over to tell us.
04:08Because you were going to try and cover it up, wouldn't you?
04:10Hey, man.
04:12This was me overproof.
04:15Hey, you lucky the kids and them didn't get hold of this.
04:19That's yours.
04:21Look, Liker, why don't we go for dinner somewhere?
04:25Just you and me.
04:26I mean, we're long overdue some Mama Bear and Barney Bear time.
04:31Look, I know Dad told you about Zach.
04:33I know you're upset.
04:35But if overcompensating had a picture in the dictionary,
04:38I think it would look a lot like this moment.
04:40Not upset.
04:41Just thought it'd be nice.
04:43You and me went on mum and son dates all the time, didn't we?
04:46The shopping and the nail bar count was a date.
04:48I always took you for dinner afterwards.
04:51You were like my little maid.
04:53We've joined at the hip, weren't we?
04:56OK.
04:56I'll see you after you.
04:57Darling, I want to apologise for yesterday.
05:19I think we both said things we regret.
05:21Oh, so I'm not getting an apology.
05:26For what?
05:28Having a yump with you for putting our licence at risk?
05:30Them coming in here yesterday was a joke.
05:33They should be more worried by half the pubs around here
05:35being knee-deep in Charlie than two stolen jugs.
05:37Stolen?
05:38You let a 16-year-old take it.
05:41One glass.
05:42Not two jugs for a junior jolly-up.
05:44If you ask me, the parents should be done
05:46for leaving their kids with thieving teenagers.
05:50Mick and I built this place up.
05:52Made it home.
05:53It was our lives.
05:54It's my life.
05:56If he was here...
05:56But he's not here, darling.
05:59I am.
06:01And this is our home.
06:02And we should stand together to protect it.
06:06Exactly.
06:09OK, who is going to go and try and make peace
06:12of Cat and Denise before the police turn up again?
06:14I'll talk to them.
06:15No, you won't.
06:16I spoke to Phil.
06:17I'll speak to them as well.
06:17You've done enough.
06:19Well, I'll make myself scarce, shall I?
06:22So much for helping out.
06:36Is Nigel all right?
06:38Jean's kept an ironing.
06:40I spoke to Linda earlier.
06:42She said the police being ran.
06:42Oh, she, uh...
06:45She apologised.
06:46Yeah.
06:46Well, her mum better hope they stay for protection.
06:49Because as soon as we're out of here, I'm going round.
06:51You have to get in line first.
06:52Stupid cow.
06:54She's fortunate that Joel was there.
06:56Tom is lucky that he's not laying in the bed next to the twins.
06:58Well, they've had the shock of their lives, haven't they?
07:00If I'd have had a dose of rum that laid me up when I was their age,
07:03it might have put me off for good.
07:05Yeah.
07:05Well, you know, it's my fault and all.
07:08I should have never trusted Denzel.
07:10I should have taken them to work with me.
07:11Yeah, well, I was too busy keeping me in line with Nigel, sir.
07:15We're all to blame, aren't we?
07:18Are you the parents of the boys here with alcohol poisoning?
07:20I'm P.C. Daniels from Walford Police Station.
07:24I'm here to talk to you about the incident yesterday.
07:26But first, I need permission to talk to your children, if that's OK.
07:30Yeah.
07:31Yeah.
07:37I'm just glad they're on the men.
07:39Yeah, well, he's still got to go out and clean the twins' six when I'm out of the carpet.
07:44Linda!
07:45Where's your mum?
07:46Is he selling some book as such as outside primary schools?
07:49She's sorry.
07:50All right, she's going through a lot.
07:53She never meant for this to happen.
07:54If she's so sorry, why are you here and not her?
07:58Look, I know you called the police and I don't blame you.
08:01All right, but if this goes any further, we lose our licence.
08:04This is my home, Kim.
08:05It's my life.
08:06It's Raymond's life we're worried about.
08:09What's more important to you?
08:10The life of a child or bricks and mortar?
08:16What's that?
08:19Oh, there she is.
08:30All right, babe.
08:33You look busy.
08:34Hmm.
08:35When you say that again.
08:36Well, there's going to be two of us from now on.
08:38Thanks to this little one.
08:40Yeah.
08:40Our boy is the hero of the square.
08:43Apparently, young Denzel was going to try and sweep the Kids Club Tropicana incident under
08:47the carpet, but he went out for help, and lucky he did.
08:52And I got three offers of weekend work out of it, so good deeds.
08:55They do pay off.
08:57Yeah.
08:57Well, I'm still in his bad books, apparently.
08:59Yeah, because you were still underage drinking and there were young kids about.
09:02Yeah, fair enough.
09:03Right.
09:03And you are going to apologise to all of them when they get home, right?
09:06Yeah.
09:06Yeah.
09:07So, get us a couple of cups of tea, and I want to change.
09:14What's that face for, babe?
09:17Look, this is one invoice of many, right?
09:21All from this company doing work on the GP surgery.
09:24I've tried their contact number instead, and I spoke to the practice manager.
09:27They've had no work done.
09:29Bernie says she's handling it, but it's clearly dodgy.
09:32What if she can't see it, and it comes back on me?
09:35I need this job.
09:36Yeah.
09:37And the last thing we need is more trouble.
09:38I'm two grand in hush money out of pocket.
09:40I can't keep swerving Sharon.
09:43She wants her money.
09:44Well, unless the pipework that they're fitting is made out of carpet, then this is as bend as
09:48a night bomb, no.
09:48Yeah.
09:50But, you know, whatever Ravi's up to, he's got to be smarter than this.
09:56You can't buy the hand that feeds you.
09:58And it ain't Bernie's money.
09:59So, if she can't help Ravi out, then maybe you can.
10:14I thought we could check out Container Junction.
10:17Right, apparently, they've got all that retro stuff you love.
10:20They've got, um, Pac-Man and, uh, oh, the blue hamster thing.
10:25The hedgehog.
10:26Sonic the hedgehog.
10:27Yeah, that's him.
10:28He had spikes, didn't he?
10:29Should have been a clue, really.
10:31Um, or we could try hops and dough.
10:33I mean, Ian doesn't own it.
10:35It's a less chance of catching salmonella.
10:37Better than an ale bar or shopping.
10:39You know, proper mum and sundae.
10:41Actually, I think I wanted to finish my book.
10:44I haven't really done much leisure reading during exams.
10:47Oh.
10:49OK.
10:51No, actually, how about Walford East?
10:53Yeah, we could try Walford East, but it's nice to try somewhere new, innit?
10:58Mum, look, I know you're finding this all hard.
11:02I appreciate you trying to mum it up.
11:04But if we're going to try and make this all work, if you tried to, it'd be a lot easier.
11:11And for everyone.
11:13And, you know, this could be a good next step.
11:17Yeah, all right.
11:19Walford East it is, then.
11:26Nice motor.
11:26Well, someone must have money to burn.
11:30You tell me.
11:32You fold a family tax now, don't you?
11:34Looks like you're better at cleaning cars than cash.
11:39Those fake company invoices for the pricey work that's never getting done.
11:43Somebody ain't read money laundering for dummies, have they?
11:47What are you on about?
11:48Come on, Walf.
11:51Bernie might be wet behind the ears, but me, being dirty, runs in my blood.
11:58I will file them invoices, but they might come back to hurt you.
12:02Now, if you did want any help or tips with your cleaning technique,
12:08coming direct to me will be a lot cheaper than prison sentence.
12:11You got my number, right?
12:14I've got a great eye for details.
12:16You missed a spot, by the way.
12:18So, I take it the Carter-Fox Truman treat you didn't learn, then?
12:42Gran's gone out.
12:43She didn't say where.
12:44Though, I reckon you two having a bit of time apart won't hurt right now.
12:51Hmm.
12:52Hmm.
12:53The good old days, eh?
12:54You look so happy.
12:57Yeah, we were.
12:58You know, years before we took this place over, your dad took me to Kent for a little holiday.
13:07Gorgeous place, middle of nowhere.
13:10Had a lovely little pub.
13:13It was empty.
13:14Yeah, one man and his dog.
13:16Sort of place where you need to check for a pulse instead of an ID.
13:19Yeah, we had our first drink and your dad said,
13:24maybe we'll have a place like this of our own one day.
13:27Quiet life, you know?
13:30I laughed.
13:31I said, you'd be bored in a week.
13:33Yeah, no sirens.
13:35No ashtrays flying across the bar.
13:36Where's the fun in that?
13:39By last orders, he said,
13:41do you know what?
13:41You're right.
13:44This ain't for us.
13:47Maybe it should have been.
13:51Maybe our story would have ended up a lot happier.
13:55Mum, the kids, they're all right.
13:59I'll talk to Denise and Phil.
14:00I'll smooth it over.
14:02This is your home.
14:04No one is going to force you out of it.
14:09What if it don't feel like home anymore?
14:11We need to talk.
14:20Just my luck.
14:21They're like London buzzers.
14:22I'm so sorry, Hanson,
14:23but I'm officially taken now.
14:25I'll talk to Vicky.
14:27What's going on with these invoices then, Bernie?
14:29It's lucky they didn't prove any repairs.
14:31If you're missing around my kid's future,
14:33I promise you...
14:34We want to see the paperwork.
14:36All of it, right now.
14:38A patient in the GP practice reported mould a few months ago.
14:44They contacted environmental health.
14:46I got a call.
14:47I just thought I'd sort it before it'd become a legal matter.
14:50But I knew that you was going through it in Bavani,
14:52so I thought I'd just save you the hassle.
14:54And a knock from the police.
14:57Listen, it ain't Vicky's job to sort things.
15:00It's mine, and I'm doing a good job.
15:02So why don't you just get off my back and leave me to it?
15:04Get off your back.
15:05You just keep us updated from now on.
15:09Do you understand?
15:10Of course.
15:19Mum, I know...
15:20I know you're upset.
15:22OK, and I...
15:23I know Gran's on one, but...
15:25This is your home.
15:27Like, this is your life.
15:29You love it here.
15:31I used to.
15:33That was a long time ago.
15:34You've done so well, Mum.
15:45You've come so far.
15:47Like, rehab was brilliant.
15:50You've been rock solid.
15:54You can be happy here again.
15:57I know you can.
15:59With your family.
16:00With your friends.
16:03And Gran...
16:03Gran is going to get over George.
16:06OK?
16:07And she'll be happy too.
16:09You'll see.
16:10I mean, like, where would you go?
16:19Like, what would you do?
16:23Just, I don't want you to make a rest of shizzen, that's all.
16:30When we first arrived,
16:32I thought me and your dad would grow old, here.
16:40I used to look around and think,
16:43yeah, that's where we'll sit when we're watching telly with the grandkids.
16:47And that's where I'll be when I make my mother of the bride and groom speeches after your wedding.
16:52I could picture it.
16:56You know, things that could happen here.
17:04Now all I see is things that have happened here.
17:12I see pain.
17:14I see Dean.
17:20What he did.
17:24I see Keanu.
17:27Lying dead on the floor downstairs.
17:30Because of what I did.
17:31And do you know what I don't see anymore?
17:40Your dad behind that bar.
17:45Or by my side where he belongs.
17:53So what's left?
17:56Just pain.
17:57This used to be
18:02the easiest place in the world to be happy.
18:09Now it's the hardest.
18:12So why am I making things harder for myself?
18:20Johnny,
18:20I am a recovering alcoholic
18:25living in a pub.
18:30I'm a rape survivor
18:32who spends every night in the place
18:34where my life changed forever.
18:38And you're right.
18:39You know, Mum will get over George.
18:42But then there'll just be some other drama
18:44to deal with and it's going to get harder
18:45and harder
18:47to stand behind that bar.
18:49Oh.
18:55Maybe it's time to make things
18:58easier
18:59for myself.
19:04Now go somewhere
19:05where it's easy
19:07to be happy.
19:09You know?
19:23Mum, I love you.
19:24and I want you
19:27to be happy
19:28so whatever you choose to do
19:33I've got your back.
19:39Come in.
19:39Come in.
19:39That was, uh,
19:50that was the food, right?
19:51Yeah, good.
19:53Oh, the burger was a bit dry.
19:55The dishwasher
19:55needs salt
19:57or sacking.
20:00And the service
20:00leaves a lot to be desired.
20:04Listen,
20:04if I knew you was coming in
20:05I'd have made sure I had less on.
20:06Oh, yeah,
20:07it's all right.
20:08Another time, yeah?
20:09Yeah.
20:10Oh, and, um,
20:11I didn't get the chance
20:12to say thank you
20:13to tell her yesterday.
20:15This really means a lot
20:16and I appreciate you.
20:17Just so you know,
20:18this is on the house.
20:19I can pay for my own son's food.
20:21It's on the house.
20:23So?
20:24Yeah, uh,
20:25I'd better go.
20:26But, like I said,
20:29you know where I am.
20:29See?
20:33It wasn't so bad.
20:36If I can move forward
20:37with all this,
20:37so can you, Mum.
20:43Don't look at it.
20:44Just drink it.
20:45I should have just
20:47kept denying them, Chels.
20:49It should have been me.
20:50I should have just
20:50run out there
20:51and told everybody myself,
20:52but I didn't.
20:54You're a good kid
20:55who made a mistake.
20:57All you can do now
20:58is learn from it
21:01and say you're sorry
21:02and take your medicine.
21:06OK.
21:09Oh, yeah.
21:10Home, sweet home.
21:13Hey, boy,
21:14that was one hell
21:16of a hangover.
21:17Yeah.
21:18Hmm.
21:19Oh, there he is.
21:21Come here.
21:22Do not scare us
21:23like that again.
21:24You OK?
21:25Good boy.
21:26I think he's going
21:27to leave the cocktails
21:28for Auntie Kim
21:29from now on.
21:30Yeah?
21:30Catch kids around and all.
21:32Doctor says they all
21:33need to take it easy.
21:35They're lucky.
21:36Not as lucky as he is.
21:43Hey, man.
21:44Um, look,
21:45I am so sorry
21:48for what happened.
21:49I was such an idiot
21:50and I'll make you a promise, yeah?
21:53I promise I'll look out
21:55for you better
21:55from now on, OK?
21:57Sorry, man.
22:05It was my fault.
22:09It wasn't Elaine's.
22:11I took the drugs
22:12and I'm really sorry, Denise.
22:17Anyway,
22:19it's out of my hands now,
22:20isn't it?
22:21The police are dealing with it.
22:23Bye.
22:23Sorry, uh,
22:29Alfie's gone AWOL
22:30and I'm not sure
22:31if it's the Wi-Fi or...
22:33Do you know what?
22:33I'm going to call my mum.
22:34Just hang on a minute, yeah?
22:36Sorry.
22:38Do you like your job?
22:40Of course.
22:42Well, if you want to keep it,
22:43I suggest you don't go
22:44over my head
22:45to Ravi and Sookie again, yeah?
22:46Sorry.
22:50I just passed Ravi earlier.

23:00you keep any worries
23:01between us, all right?

23:11Yeah, no,
23:12I just wanted to come round
23:13and see how they were
23:15and say sorry.
23:17I should have kept
23:18a better eye on them.
23:19Well,
23:20their brother should have.
23:22Nah,
23:22it ain't his...
23:23It ain't his fault.
23:24He was all mucking about.
23:26I heard that Denzel
23:27wanted to deal
23:28with the kids himself,
23:29so thank you
23:30for doing the right thing.
23:31But if you drink alcohol
23:33round my kids again,

23:35an ambulance for you.

24:59so she can't see
25:00half the stuff he does
25:01and he can't hear her
25:02moan about the rest.
