00:00Music
00:21Change then. Again.
00:24Some would say it's a good thing. Fresh start and all that.
00:28Have you heard anything about who's taking over?
00:33We should start thinking about that.
00:37It's been three months since the funeral.
00:40We've got to start thinking about opening up again soon.
00:44Yeah, soon, but not now.
00:48I've made some calls to a couple of things, I don't know, I expect.
00:59Yeah, Vinnie made a call too.
01:01We sort out Wednesday now.
01:08What are you doing here?
01:09I'm getting the ball rolling, aren't I?
01:12You haven't forgotten, have you?
01:14We'll be in the kitchen.
01:15Varnie's birthday.
01:16My sweet 16th.
01:17Sweet, yeah.
01:18Shut up.
01:19No, no, no, of course I haven't forgotten.
01:20So if the party's on, we've got to start inviting people, right?
01:23Er, what party?
01:25Dad, I'm only 16 once, you know.
01:27And my 18th ain't far away.
01:29I've got to say about that too, innit?
01:30Exactly.
01:31Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:32Fine.
01:33Yep.
01:34Whatever you want.
01:35Perfect.
01:36But right now, I've got some business to sort.
01:38Okay?
01:39Yeah?
01:40Whatever.
01:41Come on.
01:46Right.
01:47Anyone heard anything?
01:49Not likely to neither.
01:51Bernie's going to be keeping a very low profile for the next few months at least.
01:54At which time she would have spent all our money anyway.
01:56I can't believe you just let her go like that.
01:58What are you thinking?
01:59Er, what's all this about a call?
02:02Finney reported Bernie to the police.
02:04I thought I was helping.
02:06Sorry, what?
02:08I thought you were helping.
02:11Yeah, I think.
02:12So we get ripped off by some lowlife,
02:14and the best you can do is call the feds.
02:17You don't need to ask him, man.
02:19Dad, photo'd with the photographer?
02:22Look, he already said, didn't he?
02:24Whatever we want.
02:25Hmm.
02:26Exactly.
02:27Both.
02:28Both.
02:43You were supposed to be taking it easy.
02:45I couldn't have taken it easier lately.
02:48I was flat on my back in a hospital bed last week.
02:51Yeah, and you don't want to go back there, do you?
02:53So just sit down, please.
02:55And I can sort this kitchen out, okay?
02:58We've got a lot to catch up on.
03:00You and Felix for starters.
03:03Mum told you then.
03:05I take it's about you and Callum?
03:08It was only a kiss.
03:11And now Felix has hightailed it out of it.
03:14Well, it wasn't the only reason.
03:16I feel terrible.
03:19Felix was a lovely guy.
03:22And the fact that you kissed Callum should tell you something.
03:26The heart wants what it wants, darling.
03:33And now Felix is gone.
03:36You've got a clean slate.
03:42Don't waste it.
03:43Thanks, Gran.
03:44What am I going to do?
03:45Cindy.
03:46We'll manage.
03:47I have just lost my best barman, Freddie.
03:48Well, luckily you've got other barmen.
03:49Look, I'm here making new cocktails.
03:50Not to mention losing Tara.
03:51And what are we going to do about Wimbledon?
03:52What's Wimbledon got to do?
03:53Tennis.
03:54Pimps.
03:56I know what Wimbledon is.
03:58I just don't see how it's relevant, my knacketing these.
03:59Felix was putting on an event, you know, like a type.
04:14Well, Felix ain't the only one that can put on a show now.
04:18Challenges.
04:19He's not the only one that can rise to a challenge.
04:21I mean, come on, look.
04:23No, that was the name of the event.
04:24you know, the film. Challenges.
04:33Hello, love. Good?
04:35Yeah, this is a nice surprise.
04:37No, no, don't get any ideas.
04:39I'm hoping you might be able to help me.
04:41Lauren's called up and she's been run ragged by Jimmy.
04:44Would you be able to drop her off at school?
04:46Well, isn't there anyone else you can ask?
04:49I mean, hasn't she got any special friends?
04:53What's happening to me?
04:55Well, Zack, I mean, they seem like they've been getting very close recently.
05:01Is that a yes or no, Mum?
05:03Yes, yes, of course.
05:05Right, thank you.
05:15You finished it already?
05:17Get loads done when the boss ain't here.
05:19Well, in that case, you can start the service on the Focus, yeah?
05:24Oh, nice shoes.
05:32Mate, when I booked this motor in, Phil told me it'd be in good hands.
05:36Now, to me, good hands means a main man, not some chancer fresh beyond years.
05:40Well, hang on a minute.
05:41I ain't paying good money to have some Saturday worker messing about with my motors.
05:48He ain't no Saturday worker.
05:51Forget it. I'll go somewhere else.
05:53So what's in the holding account?
06:08That is the holding account.
06:09That's even less on deposit.
06:11Yeah.
06:12And there's still staff that needs paying.
06:14Yeah, Zack's been bending my ear about all that.
06:19Maybe that face-up on Bernie will have some news.
06:21Maybe he can teach her a lesson at the same time.
06:23Bruv, E, the police are all over this now.
06:25If anything happens to her, we'll be the first names in the frame.
06:28What, so we do nothing? Like you did?
06:30Eve is working on removing Bernie as a trustee.
06:33What do you mean, working on it?
06:35It's not that easy. Like, technically she's still in charge of the accounts.
06:39Are you saying we can't even get what's left?
06:40But I will sort it.
06:42It's not before Wednesday, though.
06:44No.
06:47Varnie's birthday, are you?
06:48No, no. No, she ain't missing out.
06:50What?
06:51Ravi, the cupboard is bare.
06:53What, we'll just have to restock it, then?
06:55How?
06:56You can't start moving money from the chicken shops, either,
06:59because Vinny's screwed up there, too.
07:00Yeah. Shot himself in the foot with that one, didn't he?
07:02Just wait till word gets round about all this.
07:04We're gonna be a laughing stock.
07:14You'd always sell that flash motor of yours, couldn't you?
07:16No.
07:17There's no need for that.
07:19That's one way to get some quick cash.
07:20Well, there's other ways, Eve.
07:22Ravi, this is no time to be doing anything stupid.
07:25Well, you already did that.
07:27Let him Bernie off the hook.
07:34He's been like that all night.
07:36I've...
07:37I've tried everything.
07:38And I've got my check-in appointment at the clinic
07:39in, like, half an hour.
07:40And my mum has tried to call me twice, as well.
07:41Yeah, Rowan.
07:42I said I'm sorted, didn't I?
07:44Um, right.
07:45Yeah, these are Steve's, yeah?
07:46Yeah.
07:47And the nappies are in here.
07:48No, they're not, but they're nappies.
07:49Yeah.
07:50Right.
07:51Right, so, last week didn't count then?
07:53Which is back to square one.
07:55Oh, Peter, please.
07:56Come on, don't shut me out.
07:57I'm not.
07:58I'm not.
07:59You know.
08:00Oh, sorry.
08:01Momma, let's see if they're in here.
08:02And my mum has tried to call me twice, as well.
08:04Yeah, Rowan.
08:05That's how I've sorted, didn't I?
08:07Right.
08:08Yeah, these are his feet, yeah?
08:09And...
08:10The nappies are in here.
08:11No, they're not, but they're not.
08:12Right.
08:13So, last week didn't count, then.
08:14We're just back to square one.
08:15What are you?
08:16Are you?
08:17Oh, Peter, please.
08:18Don't shut me out.
08:19You can't get away quick enough.
08:23Lauren, it's just something my mum's said to me.
08:26About you and... you and Zach.
08:29I don't know.
08:31There's something that happened there.
08:36Let me guess.
08:38Your mum has said this to you when you told her you were coming round here.
08:41That woman will not stop trying to drive a wedge between us.
08:45This is to do with the genes test.
08:50She's going to make out that I'm the big, bad wolf again.
08:54And, yeah, the doctors are probably going to say that it's all my fault that Jimmy is blind
08:58and then you can all just hate me together, eh?
09:02She actually... she actually didn't say any of that, Lauren.
09:06You're thinking it, aren't you?
09:10Well, I'll see you later. I'll let you know how we get home.
09:15Yeah, good. How you doing?
09:25This is about Felix. I... I didn't want to cause any trouble.
09:28No, no, no. I mean...
09:30It took two, from what I remember.
09:33Still don't know.
09:34Shouldn't have happened.
09:36Yeah.
09:36Not much did happen.
09:40I mean, you weren't exactly swinging from the chandeliers, were I?
09:43Yeah, man.
09:44You know, I shouldn't have been doing anything.
09:45I'm not exactly a free agent, am I?
09:47Yeah.
09:49Well, you can't play beer pong with someone who stands as a mile away.
09:52Johnny, we spoke about this.
09:54Yeah, no, I know. I remember.
09:55And then, er...
09:56I asked you when your life was going to be about you
09:58and then he kissed me.
10:02Is this why Felix isn't here any more?
10:04Cos of you two?
10:06Um, no.
10:07I mean, a cop-off thing you like is none of my business.
10:10But because of you, and you,
10:12I've now lost my star violin.
10:17Er, latte, please.
10:19Come on, Co.
10:20Just one stupid punter, that's all.
10:21It's all right for you.
10:23You did this proper.
10:24Went to college.
10:26Got qualifications.
10:28Mate, if you're talking about my apprenticeship,
10:30that was a long time ago.
10:31Steal a piece of paper.
10:33You're a natural. You don't need one.
10:34No-one tells you you're a Saturday worker.
10:41So do one too?
10:42Do what?
10:44An apprenticeship.
10:46Yeah, the archers will sponsor you.
10:47And then, next time anyone gives you any bother...
10:50Bother?
10:51Er, ag.
10:52Aggravation.
10:53You can say,
10:54Oi, mate.
10:56Copper butchers at that, you lemon.
10:59Yeah!
11:00I'm not happy about these photos.
11:03They need a filter, and I could be in them.
11:05I'm sorry.
11:07Mum, the photo's fine.
11:16Do you know if anything's being shifted the next day or so?
11:19Are you seriously asking me for a favour?
11:26Last time I had anything to do with you, I nearly ended up in prison.
11:30I just want to name and number.
11:32Well, I told you.
11:33Not into any of that anymore.
11:34Well, my kids are my priority now.
11:37Take my advice.
11:38Make your kids your priority too.
11:40This is for my kids.
11:41Is it?
11:41Yeah.
11:41Or is it because you got turned over?
11:46Because I've been hearing some very strange rumours.
11:49Listen, Nicola, if you're thinking what's in it for me, I'll make it worth your while.
11:55No.
11:56I was thinking, what if you mess up and drag me down with you?
12:01I mean, let's face it.
12:03Being stitched up by a girl from a cab.
12:05Is that a yes or a no?
12:08These people ain't street merchants.
12:11You get involved with them, you will be really playing with fire.
12:16I asked for a name and a number.
12:19Not a health warning.
12:23As a matter of fact, it might be fun watching you get burnt.
12:29Come on, mate.
12:47In a neat little town, they call Belkast.
12:50They're the princess to trade, I was bound.
12:53The princess to trade, I said the princess to trade, I use it.
13:04Oh, Daddy, just...
13:06Shh, shh, shh.
13:10I say it, John.
13:20Shh, shh, shh.
13:21And I would answer all your...
13:25An apprenticeship?
13:26Yeah. I know he's knocking on a bit, but I checked. You could do one at any age.
13:29Maybe I should think about doing one myself.
13:31There we go.
13:32We ain't had an apprentice in the arches for years.
13:35Well, no, because everyone you've had has already done theirs.
13:38No, because we don't do proper and we don't do official.
13:41Now, if he's going to go to college, he has to be examined and assessed, right?
13:45So we're going to have all sorts of people going through the doors
13:47thinking their nose in their business.
13:49So? We haven't got nothing to hide.
13:51That'd be stupid.
13:53And then once they get their foot in the door, who's next?
13:55You know, the tax man, some VAT bean cowler.
13:58Anybody ain't got the papers?
13:59What papers?
14:01He ain't got the right to work here.
14:03He's got a visa, hasn't he?
14:04Well, he's got a visitor's visa and then George changed it to something else,
14:06but not to do anything like this.
14:08Why do you think we pay him cash in that?
14:19Are you and Dad splitting up?
14:21Of course not.
14:23So, what was all that about you and Johnny?
14:25There isn't a me and Johnny.
14:27So why did Cindy say all that?
14:29Because she got it wrong.
14:31Come on, eat a donut.
14:33It's meant to be a nice treat.
14:34Have lunch away from school.
14:36Make up for missing your Dad's phone call.
14:38Okay, yeah.
14:40Yeah, me and Johnny, we spent a bit of time together at Pride,
14:43having a drink and a laugh just with, like, everyone else.
14:46But that's it.
14:50So why is the thing it's gone?
14:52Cindy said that too.
14:53It's complicated, darling.
14:55Everything is.
14:57It didn't used to be.
14:59Things used to be simple.
15:01There was me, Jay and Mum, you and Dad.
15:05Now Mum's gone.
15:07Dad ain't here.
15:08And what have you got off too?
15:10Johnny.
15:11I'm not going anywhere.
15:14I love you and I love your Dad and I always will.
15:18Nothing's going to change.
15:20And nothing is ever going to happen between me and Johnny.
15:23Okay?
15:26Come on.
15:27Have you seen that?
15:28My Bay of Glam.
15:29Yeah, Nuggets just sent it in records.
15:30It's the theme for Avani's birthday party.
15:31She's only 16 months.
15:32Ravi, we really ain't got the cash to spend on a massive party right now.
15:33Not that you're all bothered.
15:34No, it's fine.
15:35All of it.
15:36And what do you want?
15:37Coffee?
15:38Tea?
15:39Jammy donut.
15:40No, I don't sound like that.
15:41See?
15:42Yeah.
15:43Yeah, because his thing, guys, it needs to be like that.
15:44Yeah.
15:45Because you're clapping the other strings.
15:46Yeah.
15:47Yeah.
15:48I don't know.
15:49Yeah.
15:50I don't know.
15:51I don't know.
15:52I don't know.
15:53I don't know.
15:54I don't know.
15:55I don't know.
15:56I don't know.
15:57I don't know.
15:58I don't know.
15:59I don't know.
16:00I don't know.
16:01I don't know.
16:02C.
16:03Yeah.
16:04Yeah, because his thing, guys, it needs to be like that and there.
16:07Because you're clapping the other strings.
16:09Oh, alright.
16:10It's a C.
16:11Two.
16:12It's a D minor.
16:13This is what?
16:14Remember that one?
16:15Yeah, that one.
16:16The D minor, the thing, that one.
16:17The car locks that quiet, is it?
16:19Yeah.
16:20Yeah.
16:21Extra long lunch hour, perks of being the boss.
16:23I thought you were looking after Jimmy.
16:25I am.
16:26Where is he then?
16:28Take a look.
16:31He cried for nearly two hours solid after you left.
16:34Honestly.
16:35I had to walk him round the square.
16:36Nearly wore my shoes out.
16:37Nothing worked until we walked past Jay's base.
16:39Yeah.
16:40I looked up the cords and that was it.
16:41It's settled.
16:42Yeah.
16:43I think I'm gonna learn.
16:44My fingers shouldn't be hurting like that though.
16:46Look.
16:47You'll get used to it.
16:48It's fine.
16:49You might have to get used to it as well.
16:52Yeah, we're all good here.
16:55What?
16:58Then to the A minor you said?
17:00I said the A minor.
17:01It just feels weird though, doesn't it?
17:02Try and like loop your hands like right under so you don't fuck any other shoes.
17:09Right, I need you to sell it.
17:10Sell it fast.
17:11Yeah, so call it as many as old crowds as you can find.
17:14Get this lot shifted by tomorrow.
17:16There'll be a bonus on top.
17:17Yeah?
17:18Yeah.
17:19My game.
17:20Dave.
17:21All right, Gabe.
17:46Abe!
17:49I thought you were getting all that lot sorted
17:54Yeah we will
17:55The report had already gone in
17:57So we just need to play it down
18:01Alright
18:02You know what that lot are like
18:05They were always going to follow it up
18:06You know any chance they get
18:09To sniff around the pan as our coffers right
18:10Is this a problem
18:14Yeah I mean your mouth's saying that
18:19We should try telling your face
18:20Ravi please tell me this is proper
18:23You got all the papers in order
18:25Yeah
18:25Because we just need to keep our heads down
18:27This is not the time
18:28Yeah yeah yeah
18:28For you to be flashing this thing around
18:30Oh god he's such an idiot
18:32What's all that about
18:35That is just someone who likes to take a situation
18:39And make it ten times worse
18:41That's to do with Bernie
18:42No
18:44No it's just to do with someone
18:47Who can't let things go
18:48Yeah just the guy I was looking for
19:03I need a little favour
19:05He's off the road for a bit
19:07Somewhere like the Archers
19:08We fix motors mate
19:10We don't do valet parking
19:11Help me out
19:12I'll make it worth your while
19:13Listen your fingers will get used to it alright
19:26Think of the brownie points as well
19:28I saw Lauren's face just then
19:29Mate I think she's just dreaming for a couple of hours
19:32Uninterrupted kip
19:33I saw the way you looked at her as well
19:35There's a lot of water under that bridge Jay
19:38I thought you two were getting on better now
19:41We've got Jimmy's
19:45Gene's test result tomorrow
19:48Well surely that's a reason to stay closer together isn't it
19:52Well what if it ain't genetic
19:55What if it's all down to everything she was taking back then
19:58Well does it really matter
20:01You know Jimmy's going to need the same support
20:04I need the same help
20:05Yeah and he'll get there
20:06Of course he will
20:07Look Pete what's happened has happened
20:08So if there is the slightest
20:10And I mean the slightest chance
20:12That yous can make a go of it
20:14Well then you should
20:15Cause trust me mate
20:16When someone's gone
20:17That's it
20:18They're gone
20:19Alright come on
20:26How you getting on
20:27Well Ian wants to rebuild Martin's stall
20:31Oh
20:34Okay
20:35Well how's Lily and Hope and Hoffa gonna feel
20:39There's someone else on their dad's stall
20:42Doing all the things that he used to do
20:44Yeah that's difficult
20:46Of course it is
20:47No it's impossible
20:48Yeah
20:49But then I suppose that's how Cathy felt
20:53When Pete wasn't around anymore
20:55Exactly
20:56Yeah
20:56Maybe opening it up again would be a chance for
20:59Lily
21:00Or Arthur
21:01Or Hope
21:02Further down the line
21:04Right it'll just be for a little while
21:12Yeah
21:13It's gonna be a pain taking this in and out
21:26Every time I wanna use the pip
21:27I said I'd make it worth your while
21:30No you said you'd make it really worth my while
21:34So we'll call it a nice round tonne yeah
21:37And that's cash up front
21:39Seeing as you seem to be in a habit of not paying what you are
21:42Are you seriously putting a hand on me?
21:48You must think I'm stupid
21:50You're missing a couple of payments hiding it from bailiffs
21:53Now you're hiding it from them coppers that just turned up more like
21:59Oh and that's a hundred a day by the way
22:01No it's a ton
22:03Top whack
22:04I might just remember what you did to a mate of mine with another moment
22:08Take it or leave it mate
22:11So how's um
22:17How's Lexi doing?
22:19Yeah
22:20Yeah I uh
22:21Spoke to her
22:22Managed to
22:23Calm her down a bit
22:24Yeah
22:24I can't believe Cindy kicked off like that
22:28I mean it's hell all over innit
22:29She has beef with someone doesn't matter who's in the firing line
22:32I um
22:34I do want to get things straight though once and for all John
22:36No honestly
22:37There is no need
22:39Okay all that
22:40Has given me a wake up call as well
22:42We're mates
22:44And
22:45Look we both know that
22:47We could be more than mates
22:50But it's not just us involved
22:52Right there's
22:54There's a kid
22:55There's your kid
22:56Look
22:56She's just really going through it at the moment you know
22:59First her mum
23:01Now her dad
23:02She must feel like she's walking on sand
23:04Everything's shifting day by day
23:06I
23:07I know I'm not a flesh and blood
23:08I'm more of a carer really
23:10No
23:10No no no no no no
23:12You are her dad
23:13A proper dad
23:14You are there for her

23:24So you're going to let me know what toppings she's going to have
23:26Hey
23:27Thanks for understanding Johnny
23:29Yeah of course
23:31And
23:33We kind of still have that drink
23:35You know
23:36I mean we are practically going to be seeing each other all the time
23:39So unless you think that's not a good idea
23:41No no no
23:41I mean well
23:42You tell me
23:43Is everything alright
23:48Er
23:49Change of plan

23:53Hey
23:54Well
23:55We could just have that drink now then
23:57Just
23:57As mates obviously
23:58Yeah
24:01Yeah it's
24:03No harm in
24:04Two mates just
24:06Spend a bit of time together
24:07Yeah no
24:07Not at all
24:13Coach
24:35Erm
24:37Listen mate
24:38This apprenticeship of yours
24:40I might have jumped the gun a bit
24:42Jumped the gun
24:43Er
24:44Been a bit hasty
24:45Turns out it's not something we could do after all
24:49But
24:49I looked into it
24:50And you could do a couple night classes
24:52Right
24:52You ain't got to apply or nothing
24:53You could just turn up and then see if you like it
24:55I'm sorry mate
24:58I'm not
24:58I've been reading up on it
25:01I've got to go to college
25:02Do the exams and stuff
25:04I don't want to do any of that
25:07I just want to fix cars
25:09So I've been
25:12Building up to breaking this to you
25:13For the past two hours
25:14And you don't want to do it anyway
25:15You wanted to make me feel better
25:17About that nasty party yeah
25:19Yeah
25:19You got my back
25:22That's all that matters
25:25Come here
25:27Alright you in
25:31I'll put the kettle on
25:32Go on
25:33Alright
25:42Message received
25:44And understood
25:45No need to flog with their dogs
25:46Martin would have hated it
25:49He thought so hard
25:53To keep that stall going
25:54And the rest of them
25:55And
25:55Now it ain't here
25:56People are going down the supermarket
25:58To buy their friend of veg
25:59I don't
26:01I just thought it would be disrespectful
26:02To see someone else standing here
26:05But
26:05I don't know
26:07Seeing it like this
26:08Day in day out
26:10Maybe that's even worse
26:12So what are you saying?
26:18Let's do it
26:19Let's open it again
26:21Get to me
26:24Gojo
26:38What are you doing mate?
26:40Just checking out the paperwork
26:42Tax is up to date
26:44The MOT is fine
26:46Can't seem that any personal items left inside
26:57I'll just leave it mate
26:58I'll sort it later
26:59Um
27:01Harry mate
27:02Yeah
27:02There's something wrong with the boot floor
27:05Alright
27:14Do you think you're playing that?
27:16Yeah
27:16Do you know how much business that Charleston puts out of way?
27:19Who?
27:20Leo
27:20The punter that came in here this morning
27:22What?
27:23The one with the focus?
27:25Yeah
27:25That one and about 50 other motors
27:26He's got a dealership
27:27Down at Silver Town
27:28He's been coming here for years
27:29But he won't be coming here much longer
27:30If you two get your way
27:31Well no
27:32He was giving Coe some serious verbals
27:34It's
27:35The amount of money
27:36He gives the C-C
27:37He can give the king verbals
27:39If he wants
27:39It's hard enough running any sort of business these days
27:42So it doesn't matter
27:43What the punter says
27:44The punter's always right
27:45Okay?
27:46Yeah
27:46Okay
27:46Alright
27:47Keep your head down
27:50Don't rock the boat
27:51And don't bring me any more grief
27:53Alright
