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 was just...
04:32I was just...
04:33What, are you going through my things?
04:35Is everything OK?
04:36It's just a couple photos of my sister.
04:39Yeah, maybe after a while.
04:40Deli and me.
04:41All right?
04:42Mine.
04:43Right, 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?
05:13It'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 agent it'd be done yesterday.
05:36So I'll call him and tell him it'll 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, Lola, and that's it.
06:19Right.
06:21Hello?
06:24What do you mean, missing?
06:29Look, I'm meant to be on the run.
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, suddenly seeing her cleared from every shelf and the sideboard and frames that used to have the two of us being replaced with pictures of just me, sometimes 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 without 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 look 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.
08:16Great at crime, 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.
08:40She's giving it to me.
08:42What?
08:43Which means I've got enough deposit to try and buy the Vic.
08:47Oh.
08:48Well, they do say that, um, one shouldn't make big decisions when they're craving, but...
08:54I'll make the tea.
08:57I didn't realise they've missed the delivery, but she's going to the wholesalers, so this
09:08should do for now.
09:09I didn't realise the builders on George Street would all have £10 notes.
09:13Oh, that's all right.
09:14I'll just go and get some change.
09:17Yes, please.
09:18And don't tell me what sauce you want, because I won't remember, and what's on the back is
09:21not coming off again.
09:23Can I have a bacon back?
09:27Stace!
09:27Stace, come on!
09:30Oh.
09:33Alfie!
09:34No, it's Jean, and I've got a queue.
09:36Oh, OK, Jean, hello, darling.
09:38Can you put Stacey on, please?
09:39Well, if Stacey was here, she would have answered the phone, wouldn't she?
09:42Two sacks.
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, she's worried sick about you,
09:57so 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, all right?
10:16It's a ring.
10:17I've got a queue.
10:18Jean?
10:19Jean?
10:23It was just two minutes.
10:31We've been to North Berwick.
10:32He always loved that little arbor.
10:33Just get your lot looking, all right?
10:35Cos if the Scottish old Bill ain't found him...
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,
10:41and I think there was a train that was just leaving for London.
10:44It's a please, all right?
10:45It could be anywhere.
10:49All right, look, you think you saw him get on,
10:51or 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
11:01in case he comes back here.
11:03All right, well, don't you stand there.
11:05Come on.
11:12If anything's happened to...
11:13Oh, I am allowed to have a wee, Phil.
11:14I'm, um...
11:29You know, earlier, if I was sharp...
11:32If...
11:33It's just...
11:36You know, your children's weddings, you...
11:39You think you'll all be there together...
11:42And now we're she needs getting engaged
11:45and none of us have even been invited.
11:48You know, seeing you with those photos...
11:50Mum...
11:51Yeah.
11:53She asked me to send those pics for our engagement party.
11:56I didn't know you two were 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...
12:12We can get it and we can go through it together and...
12:15You know, seeing as none of us are going to be there...
12:21I mean that.
12:22Lovely, thanks, Elaine.
12:51You, uh, 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...
13:21I'm not just forgetting about it and ending up on the street.
13:24Right.
13:25Well, I'm thinking of selling the pie shop.
13:29You'll be taking a big loss, Ian.
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?
13:43Your 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.
14:04I mean, all the family celebrations and the thought of us all together behind the bar.
14:07Yeah?
14:08And how did that story end?
14:09When you bought it then?
14:11Worried about getting barred, are we?
14:16You 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.
14:30It's going to auction.
14:32Are you serious?
14:33You're going to put an offer in?
14:35Well, it's the future for my kids, isn't it?
14:37They're so excited.
14:38Aren'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.
14:51You'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
14:59so you could wear leopard print behind the pumps.
15:02It's an investment, yeah?
15:03And it was Stacey's idea.
15:05Just back off, Ian.
15:19It wasn't I knew about after all.
15:21It was just...
15:21What were you going to do?
15:22Send me a postcard?
15:23Or was I going to see your face grinning on her Instagram?
15:26A little glass of bubbly in your hand?
15:29I, uh...
15:30She invited me over.
15:36I 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.
15:46I've got everything I've ever done for that girl and she chooses you, eh?
15:50It's not like you've ever done anything, is it?
15:51Yes.
15:52You ever been there for her?
15:53You 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, this 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 to have cancer.
16:12Oh, really?
16:12This again?
16:13What kind of mum tells her kids she's dying and it's still about everyone else?
16:17I did that to bring the family back together and it worked.
16:20All right?
16:21Your father was in prison and 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.
16:49And he should 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 the smile on Cathy's face right now!
17:00Mum, it's only about Cathy.
17:01That's the kids' money.
17:02You don't feel right taking it from them.
17:04No, you won't.
17:06Has someone said something?
17:07You don't seem like you, have you?
17:09Talking.
17:09Hey, he's gone missing.
17:10I really need to track him down.
17:12Callum, if I see him, I'll find you, yeah?
17:15Kat, you love that pub.
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 End boozer.
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, the profits, I'll fuck up.
17:38Well, there's no profits to start with.
17:40It's an investment, Kat.
17:41It's for their future.
17:43You'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 in dodgy vodka and Christmas trees and...
17:52Just think, make a big decision when you're still grieving.
17:57What?
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.
18:04Look, whoever 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, this ain't about Harvey and it ain't about Kat Fee.
18:19I don't 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 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.
18:43No, 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 new car off.
18:59We'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.
19:05You love Kira so much, you let him go to prison for life, Mum.
19:07Don't you dare, don't you dare.
19:09Because I tried to stop him.
19:10While you're out here, married, having the life he should be having.
19:13Vinny meldi amintakiti asi.
19:15I even went to the police.
19:16Is that what it takes to prove that we love you?
19:18I mean, Jags 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.
19:23Because 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...
19:55Vinny...
19:57I was the mum Nish wanted me to be.
20:01And what about the mum...
20:03We 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...
20:19Loving 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.
21:42All right.
21:43Come.
21:44I'll get you all right.
21:55Hey.
21:56Sharon 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?
23:58I'll, er...
23:59I'll put a kettle on, 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 see it, Blimey.
24:25There is, um...
24:27There is no-one there, and...
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 a chance, you'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 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 tell me they need hard cash to cover...
25:12But Zoe's not in danger.
25:14So, I've no idea.
25:15I've no idea.
25:15For all I know, they could have her.
25:17I think you're scaring me.
25:18Well, no, no, I just know they need cash.
25:21So, you think you can find her if...
25:22Can you believe it?
25:2350,000 euros, I 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 come into some money, but...
25:29Hold on, stop.
25:30What are you talking about?
25:32Where from?
25:33My name above the door again, hopefully.
25:38That's not the point, Alfie.
25:39Okay, okay.
25:40Well, can you wire it over?
25:43I've promised it to someone.
25:45Stace, this is...
25:46This is our last chance.
25:49All right, if Kat finds out, we found her.
25:51Or, and we've let her go and something's happened to her.
25:54If they've hurt a bone in her body or...
25:58Oh, 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.
26:09I love this place.
26:11I love this place.
