00:30All right, he doesn't listen. He doesn't listen.
00:32He doesn't listen.
00:48Good knock.
00:50I wanted to make sure you weren't sad when Dad.
00:52I'm fine, darling.
00:54So, you gonna come for a sleepover later, yeah?
00:57I said he'd be missing Nigel.
00:59I can show him my videos from us at Billie Eilish.
01:02Why don't you go and get some sweets out of the bowl? Go on.
01:07She ain't moving it.
01:08Pugly little flat.
01:10Three of you all squashed in there.
01:12No-one's squashed anywhere.
01:14Callum coming home, bringing all sorts.
01:17For Lexi to see.
01:19Callum never brings home anyone.
01:21Well, while Nigel's with his wife and Grandad's just pottering around here on his own, I suppose one night won't hurt.
01:34Oh, Alfa! You're spilling them everywhere!
01:47It can spill as much as it likes. Once Cat gets to the pub, we're gonna be rolling, aren't we, boys?
01:51You ain't won the auction yet, remember?
01:53You're the one who's always banging on about drinking positively.
01:56I can always get you a load of vodka.
01:58I want my own room.
01:59No, you'll share my tummy.
02:00No.
02:01Oi, you two, pack it in. I'll leave you at the flat.
02:04Oh, if only Martin could see all this, eh?
02:06Listen, there's gonna be other bidders and you've only got until tomorrow, so...
02:09Why don't you get back to bed and try getting out again?
02:13Look, Martin's money will do the deposit. Cats, go and see the bank tomorrow.
02:16Yeah, hopefully sort out a mortgage, but not a word to Alfie, all right? None of you.
02:19What? You haven't told him?
02:21We ain't got it yet, have we? But if we do pull this off, imagine the surprise on his face.
02:26A big surprise.
02:28Right, who wants some toast?
02:30No.
02:31No? Alfa, have you finished those?
02:32No.
02:33Are you gonna finish them?
02:34Cal, Cal, are you okay? I've got your message.
02:40Listen, Johnny, I'm sorry, all right? Phil said I can't.
02:49There's plenty more fish in the sea.
02:50Yeah, but he wants that fish.
02:53Yeah, without more baggage than an airport carousel.
02:55No, it was nothing, it was just a thing, wasn't it? So I'm just...
02:58Fine.
02:59Come here. Come on.
03:00Get in.
03:04Oh!
03:05And where do you think you're going?
03:08There we go.
03:09Go to Mum.
03:10Is that it?
03:11Honey!
03:12Is that your mum?
03:13Here, I've got a present for you.
03:16Honestly, two seconds.
03:17I'm Oscar.
03:18Oscar Brannan.
03:19My brother.
03:23We're late.
03:24She meant to say, thanks.
03:25Nursery.
03:26And then we've got an auction to finish planning.
03:34She thinks I don't know what that was about.
03:37And I do.
03:39What?
03:41Acting weird.
03:42Can't look at me.
03:43She's just...
03:44She's...
03:45Just pups me, Sal, innit?
03:47Proper cougar, that one.
03:48Just wants a bit of the brain, don't she?
03:58Tax isn't paid.
03:59Bernie Robbins is going to lose us to the restaurant.
04:02Look, we'll find a way.
04:03Right.
04:04Come on.
04:05Dad and Sookie are working.
04:06They're my businesses.
04:07I should be learning about all this.
04:08Well, I mean Sookie's working.
04:09He's just looking up things to do with two teenagers
04:10whilst I'm on my cruise.
04:11Oh, I'm not in the mood, Priya.
04:12Look, I've just had to sell my new car
04:13to try and sort out this mess.
04:14You've only just bought it.
04:15I mean, in fact, you need appreciation, Dad.
04:16You can...
04:17What you found?
04:19I don't know.
04:20I don't know.
04:21I don't know.
04:22I don't know.
04:23I don't know.
04:24I don't know.
04:25I don't know.
04:26I don't know.
04:27I don't know.
04:28I don't know.
04:29I don't know.
04:30I don't know.
04:31I don't know.
04:32I was just, erm...
04:33I was just, erm...
04:34What, are you going through my things?
04:35Is everything okay?
04:36It's just a couple photos of my sister.
04:38Yeah, merely a couple.
04:40Daily and me, alright?
04:41Mine.
04:42Mine.
04:48Right, then.
04:49I'll let you want to do my holiday washing for me.
04:55It's OK.
04:58Look, can we do this later?
05:12It's not Vinny's fault that she didn't tell you she was getting engaged.
05:21Did I say it was?
05:24Just don't push away the only child you've got left.
05:34I told the geese it would be done yesterday.
05:36So I'll call him and tell him it'd be tomorrow.
05:38You're trying to ruin my business or something?
05:40You should have promised me because you cannot deliver, Mr Mitchell.
05:45Look, I'll sort it, yeah, Phil?
05:49Is he with you?
05:54What, he really said that?
05:55Bringing home all sorts?
05:56To our pokey little flat, he said.
05:59I've proper messed this up, Jay.
06:01Yeah, all because you couldn't keep it in your trousers.
06:03If Ben finds out...
06:05Three dads.
06:08That's what Lola wanted.
06:09So Phil can't just wade in.
06:13That's him.
06:14It's Phil.
06:15Right, well, we're standing our ground, right?
06:17One night's sleep, all right, and that's it.
06:19Right.
06:21Hello?
06:24What do you mean, missing?
06:25Look, I'm meant to be on the van.
06:30No, come on.
06:31How is me asking Vinny not to touch my stuff pushing him away?
06:33Clearly, he's just missing her, all right?
06:36His sister's getting married.
06:37Yeah, my daughter.
06:38Go on.
06:39She lives in Canada, on the other side of the world.
06:41No, where Canada is.
06:42He just wanted a photo.
06:44That's all.
06:44You know, when Erica died, my mum put every single photo of her away.
06:52She needs to be still alive.
06:53And she could still reach out.
06:55And, even though I blame myself for her accident,
06:59suddenly seeing her cleared from every shelf
07:02and the sideboard and frames that used to have the two of us
07:06being replaced with pictures of just me,
07:09sometimes I just wanted to see her face.
07:12You know, so I didn't feel so alone.
07:14It just hurts so much, you know?
07:20Yeah, I know.
07:22I know.
07:25But you're not the only one feeling the distance, okay?
07:31You're not the only one feeling her life moving on
07:35without you being a part of it.
07:39Okay.
07:40Yeah.
07:44He's not going to guess.
07:58And it's his sister.
07:59Oh, I know.
08:00But seeing Max Branning Jr. every time I walk out my door.
08:05Right now, I just want this whole sale to be over.
08:09I can't wait for my whole sale away to begin.
08:12Thanks, Elaine.
08:13Not today, Priya.
08:14Dream cruise holiday.
08:15Can't see a please credit card, was it?
08:16I said not today.
08:20Not today.
08:25You want some tea?
08:26Oh, I'd love one.
08:26These figures are doing my nutting.
08:29Stacey's just had life insurance come free from Martin.
08:32Oh.
08:33That must be a comfort for the poor girl.
08:36All those children can't be cheap.
08:38At least now she have one thing off her mind.
08:41She's giving it to me.
08:41Which means I've got enough deposit to try and buy the Vic.
08:47Oh.
08:48Well, they do say that, um,
08:50one shouldn't make big decisions when they're craving, but...
08:53I'll make the tea.
08:57I didn't realise they've missed the delivery, but she's gone to the wholesalers, so this should do for now.
09:09Well, I didn't realise the builders on George Street would all have £10 notes.
09:13Of course, all right, I'll just go and get some change.
09:17Yes, please, and don't tell me what sauce you want, because I won't remember, and what's on the back is not coming off again.
09:23Can I have a bacon back?
09:24Stace!
09:27Stace!
09:27Stace, follow up!
09:29Oh.
09:30Alfie!
09:34No, it's Jean, and I've got a queue.
09:36Oh, OK, Jean.
09:37Hello, darling.
09:38Can you put Stacey on, please?
09:39Well, if Stacey was here, she would have answered the phone, wouldn't she?
09:41Two seconds.
09:42Um, how are you, OK?
09:44I mean, about the cancer scare.
09:46I know you wanted to clear your head.
09:48Jean, Jean, sorry, listen, I'm fine, but I really need to...
09:51I really need to speak to Stacey urgent, yeah?
09:53Well, if there's anybody you should be speaking to, it's Kat.
09:56She's worried sick about you, so whatever you and Stacey are up to.
09:58OK, OK, no, the thing is, Jean, Stacey was going to try and find me Kat's ring size.
10:03I'm just going to get, you know, a little present for her.
10:05Right, so, when Stacey gets back, I'll get her to give you a call.
10:08Excuse me!
10:09I said two seconds.
10:10Jean, listen, this is really important.
10:13Listen to me.
10:14Do not tell Kat, right?
10:16It's a ring.
10:17I've got a queue.
10:18Jean?
10:19Jean?
10:21It was just two minutes.
10:31We've been to North Berwick.
10:32He always loved that little arbour.
10:33Just get your lot looking, all right?
10:35Because if the Scottish old Bill ain't found...
10:36Oh, you've changed your tune.
10:37Is that a please?
10:38Then, when we got to Edinburgh at the station, I went to the toilet, and I think there was
10:42a train that was just leaving for London.
10:44It's a please, all right?
10:45It could be anywhere.
10:46All right, look, you think you saw him get on, or you actually saw him get on the train?
10:53Well, his phone was already out of battery, so I don't...
10:56OK, I'll put a call out and check the round network.
11:00Well, I can speak to some of the boys on the market in case he comes back here.
11:03All right, well, don't you stand there.
11:05Come on.
11:05If anything's happened...
11:13Oh, I am allowed to have a wee, Phil.
11:14I'm, um...
11:30Look, earlier, if I was sharp...
11:32If?
11:35It's just...
11:36You know, your children's weddings, you...
11:40You think you'll all be there together.
11:42And now we're she needs getting engaged, and none of us have even been invited.
11:48You know, seeing you with those photos...
11:50Mum...
11:51She asked me to send those pics for our engagement party.
11:58I didn't know you two are still in touch.
12:00Oh, she's my sister.
12:02No.
12:03I've, um...
12:05There's a box under my bed.
12:07It's got pictures of all of you lot in it.
12:08If you want, you can get it, and we can go through it together, and...
12:15You know, seeing as none of us are going to be there...
12:22I mean that.
12:22Lovely. Thanks, Elaine.
12:51You, er, spoke to Sharon yet?
12:55She's been calling.
12:56I just thought if I could find a job first.
12:58Oh, well, she was talking.
12:59I thought you'd be packing your bags by now.
13:01I can't believe Bernie's dumped me in this mess.
13:04I know you said leave it, but running off with Sookie's money?
13:07I might just go to the police.
13:08Look, Sharon is your sister.
13:11Why don't you just ask her?
13:11I'm not scared of the panacears.
13:13I reckon Sookie might even reward me then.
13:16Look, why don't I try Sharon?
13:20Well, whatever you think, but I'm not just forgetting about it and ending up on the street.
13:24Right.
13:25I'm thinking of selling the pie shop.
13:29You'll be taking a big loss here.
13:32Oh, you're not still getting...
13:33Ian, you love that pie shop.
13:35Well, it's not exactly full of happy memories, is it?
13:38I mean, if I have to sell something to buy this place...
13:40You're selling my business?
13:42Do you know what? Your ears are nearly as big as your ability to cause trouble.
13:45If you don't mind, we're having a private meeting with our solicitor.
13:48I bought that in.
13:50With my money and the rapist.
13:53So when I sell my business, I will make sure you get the small share that you are entitled to.
13:58Now, if you don't mind.
13:59Look, all Harvey's saying is selling everything up so quickly.
14:02Look, I had my first pint in this pub.
14:04All the family celebrations and the thought of us all together behind the bar.
14:07Yeah? And how did that story end?
14:09When you bought it then?
14:11Worried about getting barred, are we?
14:13You all right?
14:18Any idea how many bidders there are?
14:20I'm seeing my mortgage broker in the morning.
14:22Well, it's a couple of big chains.
14:24One developer talking about flats.
14:26But you said there was no big breweries.
14:29Well, it's out of our hands now it's going to auction.
14:32Are you serious?
14:33You're going to put an offer in?
14:35Well, it's a future for my kids, isn't it?
14:37They're so excited, aren't they?
14:40Yeah, and Martin's left Stacey life insurance, so that's the deposit sorted out.
14:44And Alfie's never really found his thing when we left here.
14:48And the thought of being back in his place.
14:50Hold on, you're not going to spend Martin's kids' inheritance on buying this place, are you?
14:54Is anybody talking to you?
14:55I know there's not much chance of your kids going to uni,
14:57but I don't think my cousin took out that policy so you could wear leopard print behind the pumps.
15:02It's an investment, yeah?
15:03And it was Stacey's idea.
15:04Just back off, Ian.
15:20What were you going to do?
15:22Send me a postcard?
15:24Or was I going to see your face grinning on her Instagram?
15:26A little glass of bubbly in your hand.
15:29I, er...
15:30She invited me over.
15:35I didn't know how to tell you.
15:37No, you always were a coward.
15:38It's her engagement party.
15:40So I heard.
15:41Haven't you got a flight to check into?
15:43I knew you'd be like this.
15:43Yeah, but it didn't stop you booking a ticket, though, did it?
15:45You had no right reading my emails.
15:46You've got everything I've ever done for that girl and she chooses you.
15:49Eh?
15:50It's not like you've ever done anything, is it?
15:51What?
15:52You ever been there for her?
15:53You ever, ever, ever supported her?
15:55She's my sister.
15:55Yeah, and I'm your mother, Vinnie.
15:57Every mistake you have ever made, I have forgiven.
16:00Me and Eve nearly died at our wedding because you let that monster get the better of you.
16:03No, no, no, no.
16:04This is not about that.
16:05No, it's about you.
16:06You.
16:07You were always the victim.
16:09Me?
16:09Yeah.
16:09Last time Ash walked away, you pretended I have cancer.
16:12Oh, really?
16:12This again?
16:13What kind of mum tells their kids she's dying and it's still about everyone else?
16:17I did that to bring the family back together and it worked, all right?
16:21Your father was in prison and I, I, I...
16:23No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
16:25You made a choice and you chose to lie.
16:28Vinnie, I didn't know anything back then.
16:31I didn't know any other way.
16:32He left me with four small children.
16:34And how many have you got left?
16:36She needed to check on Sookie.
16:38I mean, honestly, you think us lot have drama.
16:40No, well, there's some nice ones in your photo album and there's some nice ones on the...
16:45Oh, Kat, I was just saying we could get a nice photo of Martin and put it in a nice frame.
16:49I need to talk to you.
16:50And then we could put it behind the bar and it would be like he'd be with us all the time.
16:54Sorry, Stace, um, I'm pulling out.
16:57What do you mean?
16:57You can't.
16:58It's in a smile on Cathy's face right now.
17:00Mum, it's only about Cathy.
17:01That's the kid's money.
17:02Don't feel right taking it from her.
17:04No, you won't.
17:06Has someone said something?
17:07You don't seem to know how to work, yeah?
17:09I'm talking.
17:09He's gone missing.
17:10I really need to track him down.
17:11Callum, if I see him, I'll find you, yeah?
17:15Kat, you love that part.
17:19Look, that money's got the kid's name on it right.
17:22It just don't feel right.
17:23I can't take money out of their piggy bank just to buy some dodgy East Mbooza.
17:26Well, I knew that piggy bank.
17:27And if it was, they're only going to spend it on crisps.
17:29You're not listening to me, right?
17:31What if they want to go to uni or get married, buy a house?
17:34Oh, you'll pay me back when you can or you'll just give me a car of the profits or what?
17:38But what if there's no profits to start with?
17:40It's an investment, Kat.
17:41It's for their future.
17:42You're the only one in this family who's only good with money.
17:46If I try and hold on to that till one of that lot gets married, Nan's going to make me invest
17:50in dodgy vodka and Christmas trees and...
17:54Just think, make a big decision when you're still grieving.
17:56What?
17:57Because I miss him.
17:59We all miss him, Kat.
18:01Having a load of money in the bank, I ain't going to bring him back.
18:04I know that.
18:04But whoever's said all this, whoever's put all this in your head, this is Martin.
18:08He cared about our family.
18:10Right, and that's why I can't take it.
18:12No, all of us.
18:13You, Alfie, the boys.
18:14And do you really think he'd want Harvey to get one over on us?
18:17Mum, it ain't about Harvey and it ain't about Cathy.
18:19I do know that, Stacey.
18:20Kat, if I've learnt one thing from losing Martin, it's live for today.
18:25And if he was here now, he'd say, sod it.
18:27You'd buy that pub.
18:35Vinny!
18:36I'm here, I'm not finished yet.
18:37Nothing Ash did was ever good enough.
18:39That's not true.
18:40Went to uni, became a doctor.
18:42You know, most parents would be proud of that.
18:43Yeah, I was proud of her.
18:44I bought her the surgery.
18:45And it was me that told her to go to Canada to get away from your father.
18:48All her life going out with the wrong kind of boys, the wrong kind of girls.
18:51Yeah, well, if you ever found someone to marry and have kids with, you would understand.
18:55You made her ashamed of her sexuality when you were hiding her own, you car off, we're having an abortion.
19:00We have dealt with this, all right?
19:02And at the time, Kira, the greed woman...
19:04Oh, yeah, Kira, you love Kira so much, you let him go to prison for life, Mum.
19:07Don't you dare, don't you dare, because I tried to stop him.
19:10Well, you're out here, married, having the life he should be having.
19:13Vinny meldi amintakitiasi, I even went to the police.
19:16Is that what it takes to prove that we love you?
19:18I mean, Jackson didn't even get a chance to put himself in prison.
19:20You went ahead and did that for him.
19:22Yeah, to save you, because if I'd have thought for one second you'd be strong enough...
19:26Strong like he was.
19:28Hey, where is he now, Mum?
19:31Where is he?
19:33How did that big plan of yours end up?
19:39Vinny, I'm sorry.
19:40All my life you told me what to do.
19:49Told all of us.
19:52Maybe if you hadn't.
19:56Vinny...
19:57I was the mum Nish wanted me to be.
20:01And what about the mum...
20:02...we needed you to be?
20:04Dad was in prison.
20:09You just said it yourself.
20:12This was you.
20:14No.
20:14All of you, Mum.
20:15Vinny, I had to do it all on my own.
20:17You know, maybe if I'd had someone loving me, supporting me, helping me to be better...
20:23It's a lot of maybes.
20:28You don't get a second chance.
20:29Come here.
20:41Come here.
20:42Come here.
20:53No.
20:53No, you don't, sir.
20:55I need to get home.
20:56If you don't have a ticket...
20:57I need to get home.
20:58If you'd like to just come on the...
20:59Get away from me!
21:02Just get away from me.
21:04I need to get out.
21:05Nigel.
21:05Just get away from me.
21:07Please, sir.
21:08I just need to...
21:09Look, I'm DC Highway.
21:11He's got dementia.
21:15Come on.
21:17Let's go find Phil and let's get you a nice cup of tea, yeah?
21:20Don't touch me.
21:21Okay.
21:22Okay.
21:23Oh, Nigel.
21:26Nigel?
21:27What's going on here?
21:29Nigel, it's me.
21:34Is he a man there?
21:36It doesn't seem to know where he is.
21:38All right.
21:42Come.
21:44I'll get you all right.
21:55Hey.
21:57Sharon said you can stay.
21:58You spoke to her?
21:59Yeah, I caught her just going to bed.
22:01So, you can forget about Bernie.
22:03Why would my sister do that?
22:05I've told you, I'm not scared.
22:06Look, she owes me a favour, all right?
22:09And it's got nothing to do with being scared of the panaceas.
22:11It's just...
22:12Bernie...
22:13Bernie's suffered enough.
22:15You'll still have to find a job, though, you know?
22:17So you've got something to live on.
22:18Don't you pay your sister back?
22:19Look, who's even going to run the place in?
22:22If only there was someone in the family with bar experience.
22:25Oh, I can't manage the cafe and all.
22:27If you need a cafe manager, I owe you.
22:29See?
22:30There you go.
22:33Right.
22:35So, tell us about these people that want to turn this place into flats.
22:38You call Vavere and Alfie, now.
22:39Oh, something to say, Cathy?
22:41It's an auction, Jean.
22:42You've not won it yet.
22:43Oh, your smile, Harvey.
22:44It's just dropped on the floor.
22:46Look, if you're trying to stitch this deal up because Alfie's your mate...
22:48No one's stitching anyone.
22:49Look, we just want a fair price and to finally move on.
23:01Right, talk us through the money.
23:03The kids are already fighting over their bedrooms.
23:05Oh, the fights that Johnny and Nancy had come in.
23:08If we get this, imagine Alfie's face.
23:11Alfie, he phoned when you were getting change.
23:14You've only just remembered.
23:15Well, there has been a lot going on, Stacey.
23:17He said he wants to talk to you urgently.
23:20Something about a ring and not to tell Cat.
23:32No-one in the market's heard anything.
23:36Probably in some cinema somewhere,
23:39watching a subtitle movie,
23:40picking popcorn off his tie.
23:42Nigel, you remember Julia, what?
23:57I'll, er...
23:59I've got to get along, mate.
24:02I got lost and, er...
24:04Me and Yolandi found him at the Tube,
24:06trying to jump the barriers.
24:07Blimey, Nigel, how old are you?
24:08I've called her for search, Matt.
24:10I'm just glad that you're safe.
24:12It's not changing anything.
24:16Not now.
24:18Just glad you're seeing that.
24:25There is, um...
24:27There is no-one there.
24:28Why don't you go upstairs every night down
24:30and we'll catch an earlier train tomorrow?
24:32He ain't going anywhere.
24:33People round here look out for him.
24:35Look, I don't...
24:36I don't want you to...
24:37I will look out for him better.
24:38No.
24:39No, you've had your chance.
24:40You're blind him.
24:40You can get a train any time you want.
24:42It's not your decision to make, Phil.
24:45And whose is it?
24:46It's mine.
24:47And, um...
24:49What I want...
24:49I...
24:50I want to stay here.
25:00You still haven't found her?
25:02No, no, no, no, I haven't.
25:03Thanks, but listen.
25:04Listen to me.
25:04So, what's the problem?
25:05It's because they're not exactly quiet boys, darling, okay?
25:09They...
25:09They...
25:09They tell me they need hard cash to cover...
25:12But...
25:12Zoe's not in danger.
25:14So, I've no idea.
25:15I've no idea.
25:15For all I know, they could have her.
25:17They're locked in a mess.
25:17Alfred, you're scaring me.
25:18Well, no, no, I'm just saying...
25:19I just know they need cash.
25:21So, you think you can find her if...
25:22Can you believe it?
25:2350,000 euros.
25:24I don't know.
25:24Where am I going to find money like that?
25:26Look, if you'd have told me this morning,
25:27I've...
25:28I've come into some money, but...
25:29Wait, hold on, stop.
25:30What are you talking about?
25:32Where from?
25:34My name above the door again, hopefully.
25:38But that's not the point, Alfie.
25:39Okay, okay.
25:40Well, can you wire it over?
25:43I've...
25:43I've promised it to someone.
25:45Stace, this is...
25:46This is our last chance.
25:49All right, have cat phones out.
25:50We found her.
25:51Or...
25:52And we've let her go and something's happened to her.
25:54If they've hurt a bone in her body or...
25:57Oh, no, she just...
25:59She just disappears.
26:00You don't understand, Alfie.
26:02All right, I've promised.
26:03No, Stacey, you don't understand.
26:05If this trail goes cold and we lose her for good,
26:08then we are in serious trouble.
26:09Let's do that one, this place.
