00:00I'll see you next time
00:31Bring us luck, okay?
00:36It just feels so weird.
00:39At the end of today...
00:40Someone else is going to be getting ready to call last orders.
00:50All right?
00:52You didn't go like that, did you?
00:54I bet the bank manager loved it.
00:56Oi, Nan. Hope you're not suggesting...
00:57Aunty, did you show that man your spreadsheet?
00:59Freddie?
01:01You did, didn't you?
01:02With Stacey's deposit, he's agreed to a mortgage, so we are in with HR.
01:05Oh, I knew it!
01:08I know I keep saying it.
01:09Martin, can I just...
01:10Martin would be so happy.
01:12Us all being provided for.
01:15Precincts every evening.
01:16She's still got to win the auction, remember?
01:19What?
01:22Kat, I'm really sorry.
01:26Freddie's got the whole of the summer off.
01:28Why don't you just teach him about this?
01:29Well, just let me sort them all out, and then I'll sit them down, yeah?
01:33That all right with the other boss?
01:35Seeing as you've actually got up today.
01:37Whatever.
01:38What are you doing out here?
01:39I've just put a tea outside her room.
01:41Can't no-one get any quiet round here.
01:43Is she having trouble again?
01:50You know, in the police and kids' rinds and stuff and whatever.
01:53No, I reckon she's just had enough convenience for keeping each other's friends.
01:57See you later.
01:58I'll have a job for you later.
02:09You and Oki need to do the collection.
02:10I already told you, Ravi.
02:11So keep your phone on.
02:12I'll text.
02:13This don't make sense.
02:21You spent half the day yesterday twisting my arm into taking the money.
02:24Yeah, I know.
02:25If you're looking for someone else to give it to...
02:27Why are you messing me about now?
02:28I'm not messing you about.
02:29What happened to Liv for today?
02:30I've told everyone I'm doing this now.
02:32Something's happened, hasn't it?
02:33She is allowed to change her mind, though, by the way.
02:35All about family, you said.
02:37Me, Alfie, the boys.
02:38Yeah, and that's exactly why I can't do it.
02:40You haven't told him, have you?
02:41No!
02:41What do you mean, that's why you can't do it?
02:43Well, everything you said yesterday, that money, that's for Martin's children.
02:47Yeah, and everything you said yesterday made me believe it was a future for my kids as well.
02:54Look, I know you're braving, but that ain't how the slaters work.
02:59This has to do with that call from Alfie yesterday, isn't it?
03:02I've got to go.
03:08Well, I'll tell you...
03:10We're fine.
03:11We can't speak.
03:13Uh, no, I'm okay.
03:23Nigel, did you mean what you said yesterday about wanting to stay here?
03:29He told you?
03:30I thought he could speak.
03:31I, um...
03:34I've made a home here.
03:39Me and Phil, uh, I know where things are.
03:42Sort of.
03:47So what am I supposed to do?
03:50Just...
03:51Just walk away now that I've finally found you?
03:54This is why I, um...
03:56For better, for worse, Nigel.
03:58In sickness and in health.
04:00You can come and visit.
04:02I'm talking to my husband.
04:03Anytime you want.
04:08We're married, Nigel.
04:10I'm not some houseguest.
04:13I'm your wife.
04:14I never meant her.
04:25I have now, haven't I?
04:30Now, Phil's all bark, no bite.
04:32He's not a dog, Harry.
04:34No, he's just...
04:35It's just a phrase.
04:36Can you get me a spanner, please?
04:37You and Ravi look cosy.
04:46I've already told you.
04:47Eight or ten?
04:48Our men always say ten when they really mean six.
04:51And even that's pushing it.
04:52You just bring them all, please.
04:53Look, in all seriousness, if you carry on...
04:55Mum, I've just told you.
04:56I've got a little job for you.
05:02Was that it?
05:03Yeah, just wait for a message.
05:06And a talk wrench.
05:09I ain't got no choice.
05:11Then the jobs will just keep getting bigger.
05:13And when it hits the fan, which it will,
05:15he won't have his fingerprints on anything.
05:17I know what you think of me, Harry,
05:20but please, OK?
05:22I am your mum.
05:23I love you.
05:24You know, I don't say that enough.
05:28Oh, you're just a kid.
05:30Please, let me sort things with Ravi.
05:33No, no.
05:34No, last time you stuck your nose in my business,
05:36my girlfriend ended up six feet under.
05:39So, no.
05:40I'm working.
05:41Go.
05:47Laura, listen.
06:05You can't tell him about anything.
06:08I won't say anything.
06:10But everybody else seems to know.
06:11He doesn't even talk to my dad.
06:16Don't tell me.
06:18Was it the lead piping in the ballroom?
06:20Mrs. Peacock.
06:22I bet you get that all the time.
06:23Mrs. Peacock is my mother.
06:25I'm Linda Carter.
06:27Francis Moran.
06:28Moran and Hawkins auctioneers.
06:30Right.
06:31Let's talk about how we're going to get
06:32this tatty old place off your hands.
06:35This tatty old place is my home.
06:38Start again, shall we?
06:39Yes.
06:40He ain't gone missing again, has he?
06:52No.
06:55Maybe it would have been best if you'd never phone me.
06:59Look, you've wandered off.
07:01Ain't you awful?
07:02He wants to stay here.
07:03The film.
07:10Or that time.
07:12You could be anywhere.
07:16Searching and crying and...
07:17And then...
07:19Then you told me he was here when I got that call.
07:27Just to lose him all over again.
07:29Look, this ain't easy.
07:30For anyone.
07:31I'm not enough for him, Jay.
07:35Maybe...
07:35Maybe I never was.
07:37Maybe...
07:41Phil...
07:42Is...
07:43What he needs for me.
07:44No.
07:45Look, you're hurting now, right?
07:47I understand that.
07:47But...
07:48Maybe I should just...
07:50Maybe I should just go back to Scotland.
07:55And then...
07:56You can all get on...
07:57With living your lives.
08:05And you've got eyes.
08:07Hey, Ivani.
08:10What?
08:10It was her that weren't looking.
08:12What?
08:12Is this...
08:12Is this sucking Vinny?
08:14No, no, I just...
08:15Hey, hey, hey, hey.
08:16Hey.
08:17Come here.
08:20Look.
08:22I know things are tense.
08:24Suck his house and...
08:25But Vinny, you know, he's going to Canada soon.
08:30Look, is this your exams?
08:33Are you worried about your results?
08:36It's not my exams.
08:37Okay.
08:41Is it the police thing, then?
08:44You don't have to pretend to me.
08:49Don't be angry.
08:51Why would I be angry?
08:53I've been there, remember?
08:54You know, every time you think you're moving on, you need to...
09:04Don't worry, it's cool.
09:06No.
09:07No, Ivani, wait.
09:08I'm right, aren't I?
09:23Mum, please.
09:24I stink of bacon.
09:25I just want to have a shower with you.
09:27This is about Alfie calling you.
09:30This is to do with why he's away.
09:32No, it's got nothing to do with that.
09:35You are very good at many things, Stacey Slater, but not at lying.
09:39Not to me.
09:41Well, not always.
09:45Okay.
09:46Me and Alfie...
09:47I knew it.
09:48...we're trying to help someone, Mum.
09:50Someone important to the family.
09:53Who?
09:54They're really important, but I can't say.
09:58Don't tell Cat, he said.
09:59Well, you're just going to have to trust me, Mum.
10:01Well, who would Alfie be helping that Cat mustn't know about?
10:04Mum, please.
10:06Please, all right?
10:06Cat can't find out.
10:07It would hurt her too much.
10:10My God!
10:11It's her!
10:12Promise me, Mum.
10:14You've got to promise me.
10:15It's Hayley!
10:21They've still got a bust on the bar.
10:24Bulldoze the lot.
10:26Nice flats.
10:28I'm not having her buy it.
10:29That's not how walks in the world.
10:31If Mick could see this.
10:33Mick is not here, darling.
10:34We're going to get the best bid we can
10:36and then buy ourselves a wonderful new home.
10:40I didn't think there'd been as many people here.
10:43You seen all the ones online?
10:45Your dad is going to do this whether you like it or not,
10:48so you two can't be a bit more supportive.
10:50Like he's supporting me?
10:51Oh.
10:53What are you even here for?
10:55To make sure you don't get it.
10:58And why are you here?
10:59Checking out the talent?
11:00Oh, I'd never stop.
11:02He might be with someone,
11:03but there's no stopping you, is there?
11:05Oh!
11:06Right.
11:07If we're going to do this...
11:08Just five minutes.
11:09Wait for Cat.
11:14Ladies and gentlemen,
11:15if you'd like to take your seats.
11:16Yes.
11:23I didn't even know you were in touch with Hayley.
11:26Well, I haven't been.
11:28She is family.
11:30She just messaged a few weeks ago out of the blue.
11:32I didn't even know Alfie was in touch with her.
11:35Mind you, Cherry is his daughter.
11:37She just messaged when I was away and she'd come and stayed for a bit.
11:40My head was a mess.
11:42And you thought that Hayley would help sort it out?
11:45Hayley?
11:46She's chaos.
11:47Yeah, I know.
11:48She just kept going on about
11:51these people that were after her
11:55and she's done something terrible.
11:58That's why your flat was in such a mess.
12:00All those vapes everywhere.
12:01Yeah, and then she just did run her.
12:04What?
12:05With Cherry?
12:06With a six...
12:07seven...
12:08six-year-old child?
12:13Well, what's Alfie got to do with it?
12:15Well, you went to find her.
12:16Oh, typical Alfie.
12:18Trying to help sort things out
12:19and makes things ten times worse in the meantime.
12:23I suppose the cancer scare was all a lie?
12:29Well, I know he's found these dodgy blokes
12:31who know where Hayley is.
12:33What, in Spain?
12:35Yeah.
12:36And he thinks they know because they've got her,
12:37so if he don't get the money, then...
12:39I don't believe a word of this.
12:41Dodgy blokes needing money.
12:45She's made the whole thing up
12:46and Alfie has fallen for it.
12:48Or if she's not in on it, it's a scam.
12:52I should know.
12:53I've been scammed.
12:54Twice.
12:55What if it ain't?
12:56She has run away and she does not want to be found,
12:58not by you or Alfie.
13:00And Cat, Cat doesn't need any more drama,
13:04especially after what's happened with Tommy.
13:07She needs peace.
13:09And to move on.
13:11Yeah, I know.
13:11If you don't definitely know
13:15that that money is going to help find her,
13:17if you don't definitely know
13:19that there's even a situation
13:20that she has to be got out of,
13:23you're far better off giving that money
13:25to somebody who's actually here,
13:28who loves you,
13:30who fights your corner
13:31every day.
13:33And how is he today?
13:42He's, uh, confused.
13:44Says he wants to stay.
13:46He don't want to lose her.
13:48Well, he don't want to hurt her anymore.
13:51Well,
13:53they've been married for 25 years.
13:56And?
13:58That's more than I managed with anybody
14:00and certainly longer than you have.
14:05He doesn't want to lose her again.
14:08And she has every right
14:09to want to be part of his life.
14:11To see him through the rest of it,
14:12no matter how hard or how long.
14:15She can't handle him.
14:17You found him yesterday.
14:18You're supposed to be in Scotland, wasn't it?
14:19Well,
14:20maybe she just needs somebody to guide her.
14:24Somebody who knows exactly
14:25how to calm him down.
14:26Nigel walked out on her
14:30because he didn't want to be a bird
14:31and that's his way of showing her
14:33how much he loves her.
14:35So what,
14:35I just,
14:35just let her
14:36that I take him?
14:38That's not what I am seeing.
14:41Maybe you all need each other
14:42more than you'll admit.
14:45Phil,
14:46you know she's leaving.
14:48Getting the next train to Scotland
14:49on her own.
14:51Yeah.
14:52Yeah.
14:56It's not your birthday,
14:59it's not mine,
15:00then.
15:01Oh,
15:02please tell me
15:03it ain't that cows.
15:08For God's sake,
15:10over her.
15:24Hey!
15:26All right?
15:55So you're not feeling
15:57coming to my party,
15:58then?
15:59What are 10-2 cards?
16:02The kind of things
16:02have been a bit awkward
16:03between us
16:04and I know we ain't even
16:05really talking,
16:06but I...
16:06Technically,
16:07this is talking.
16:10Look,
16:11Barney,
16:11I really need your help.
16:13Look,
16:13can we go to your house?
16:14What is it,
16:15Barney?
16:16Look,
16:16I'll tell you,
16:17I just,
16:17I just need to be somewhere
16:19where no one
16:19ain't gonna walk in on us.
16:22Okay.
16:22Yeah?
16:23I know,
16:23somewhere better.
16:24I will be fine.
16:34You'll know.
16:34I love you,
16:59Nigel Bates.
17:01I love you
17:02just as much as I did
17:05on the day I married you.
17:07but you've moved on.
17:13You've decided that,
17:14um,
17:15that the rest of this
17:18journey,
17:19you want to do
17:21without me.
17:26Did I say something?
17:27Right,
17:27I get it.
17:28I do,
17:30I do,
17:30I do,
17:30really.
17:32You said you didn't want
17:33to be a burden,
17:34and
17:34you wouldn't have been.
17:40I don't want to be a burden
17:42to you either.
17:43Oh,
17:44um,
17:44as Julie.
17:49All I want
17:50is for you
17:50to be happy.
17:52Nigel,
17:52just as happy
17:54as you can be,
17:55and,
17:57you know,
17:57you've got,
18:00it's gonna be really hard
18:01with what you've
18:02got coming up,
18:03you know,
18:03it's gonna be hard enough
18:04without,
18:05without having me
18:06making it harder.
18:14I'm letting you go.
18:21I'm so sorry.
18:22It's okay.
18:23I'm sorry.
18:24It's okay.
18:26You don't need to be sorry.
18:29You don't need to feel guilty.
18:31You know,
18:31sometimes,
18:33if a road
18:34sends you in a different direction,
18:36then you just have to follow it.
18:40Yeah.
18:44Other than the girls
18:45who miss you,
18:47you've got everything
18:49you need.
18:51I'll just get in the way.
18:53No, no,
18:53you won't.
18:55And,
18:55um,
18:56I think that,
18:57uh,
18:58your housemate
18:58wouldn't be pleased
18:59to see the back of me.
19:05I wish
19:06you're the best man
19:16I've ever met.
19:20Yeah.
19:20I've got a train to catch,
19:42and there's caps waiting for me,
19:43so...
19:43I'm done fighting.
19:54You win.
19:56Listen,
19:57you, uh,
19:58you don't have to go.
19:59Yeah, no,
19:59I don't, um,
20:01I can't do this anymore.
20:02Nigel wants you,
20:03so...
20:03Well, he wants you to.
20:11And, uh,
20:12we can have you,
20:14have your own room.
20:17Yeah,
20:18we'd last five minutes, Phil.
20:21I think,
20:22I think what Nigel wants,
20:25or maybe,
20:25maybe what he needs
20:27is both of us.
20:30Anyway,
20:32I don't do subtitled films.
20:48Offer stands with online.
20:51Can we beat that?
20:52I guess that's our free drink's gone.
20:59You sure you don't want to video this for Kat?
21:01And again.
21:03Uh,
21:03could you just pause a minute,
21:04please?
21:05Jean!
21:05Um,
21:06it's just that someone else is coming,
21:07probably.
21:08Well,
21:08hopefully.
21:08Auctions don't work that way.
21:12Kat!
21:14Kat!
21:15I told Tommy to let it buzz.
21:17Look,
21:17I'm sorry,
21:17alright,
21:18I just got scared.
21:19I want you to have the money.
21:20Yeah,
21:20for the next five minutes.
21:21No,
21:21for as long as you need it.
21:22Yeah.
21:23Look,
21:23you're there for me every day.
21:25And after everything you've been through lately,
21:26with Tommy and that,
21:27and...
21:28You serious?
21:30Yes.
21:31Get some clothes on.
21:33No,
21:33it'll be too late.
21:35Ian would've put his skimpy little offering.
21:36No,
21:36I've made Mum stall them.
21:37Oh yeah,
21:38they're going to hold the whole thing up.
21:40Some woman with flappy arms tells them to.
21:42Alright,
21:43well,
21:43forget the clothes then.
21:44Come on.
21:48Come on!
21:49Come on then.
21:50Let's get ourselves a booze up!
21:52To my right.
21:53God,
21:54that awful woman gets it.
21:55I'll just focus on our future,
21:57darling.
21:57She's got to keep pushing you,
21:58Ian.
21:58Look,
21:59do you want this place turned into flats?
22:00Gran's right,
22:01you can't match her.
22:02Going once.
22:03Oh my God.
22:03Going twice.
22:04Oh,

22:22But it's mine.
22:23Yes?
22:24I mean,
22:24you've actually called it.
22:25As soon as we can all get back inside.
22:27You never banged your Emma though.
22:29Oh,

22:35Sorry,
22:36darling,
22:36you missed it.
22:37Kat,
22:37we can't compete.
22:38They're going to demolish the place.
22:39It's going to be my family's home.
22:41Right,
22:41let's get this cake iced.
22:43Just stop.
22:45I'm not doing it.
22:46Mum,
22:46mum,
22:47we've been over this.
22:47It was my home.
22:49Me and your dad's.
22:50Me and you.
22:51It's not just about the money,
22:52is it?
22:53Mrs Carter,
22:53we have all but finished sprinkling the sprinkles.
22:56This is about us.
22:58Setting up for our new chapter.
23:00I am not letting someone knock it all down.
23:03Me and Mick put everything into this place.
23:05Mum,
23:05I know,
23:06I know,
23:06but he's gone.
23:07It needs a family,
23:08innit?
23:09You know,
23:09a bit of life.
23:10Kids!
23:11We've got loads of them.
23:12It was the price,
23:13all right?
23:13I can't go higher than I said yesterday.
23:17And that's high enough.
23:18You're not really going to let a lady in a dressing gown.
23:21If you're trying to sidestep my commission...
23:23She's got a deposit.
23:24Yeah,
23:25and the mortgage.
23:25Hang on,
23:26you can't do a deal outside of the auction.
23:27She isn't.
23:28Not with you and your mum.
23:29Whatever this woman is offering.
23:31Look,
23:31you're not having it.
23:33I've made up my mind.
23:34You'll still get your cut.
23:36Ian,
23:36I'm sorry.
23:39It's yours.
23:40Okay,
23:40I mean it.
23:41Just,
23:41just fill it with love.
23:42Sandy,
23:44you're with a Freddy.
23:45You're with a...
23:46Please don't start.
24:04Thanks.
24:04I'm sorry.
24:07I thought you were Phil for a minute then.
24:10Julie,
24:10she's,
24:10she's going to live with us.
24:13So it's,
24:13it's probably best if Lexi,
24:16but,
24:18if Callum
24:20breaks her heart.
24:21I think Lola would come and offer me for that,
24:23then,
24:23yeah.
24:23I'm one more step out of line from A-foot, yeah?
24:26No.
24:35Just a minute.
24:36I'm one more step out of line from A-foot.
24:52And?
24:53Hear me if I were...
24:56pregnant.
25:01Stace, what you've done for the family, my kids, it's the best future.
25:25This is all I've ever wanted.
25:26I'm doing all this for my kids.
25:28Oh, isn't this wonderful?
25:32Wall paint, darling.
25:33I just want to pack up and get out of here now.
25:36Obviously, it's not what it is.
25:38Yeah, now, then.
25:39How soon can you start?
25:41I've got to get out my dressing gown first.
25:43Never bothered Mick.
25:44Wait for the mortgage, give notice on the flat.
25:46Why don't we do a swap?
25:48I mean, we can move into yours, you move in here, pay a bit of rent till the paperwork's done.
25:53Yeah.
25:54I'll bring my own wardrobe, though.
25:56You don't think I want your old tat, do you?
25:58That would be amazing.
26:04You know what you two need?
26:06Every boy loves a sailor.
26:08New man on your arm, show that Callum.
26:10Wait, I keep telling you, me and Callum weren't even a thing.
26:12Look, your mum needs a break.
26:13You work remotely anyway, and I can stay here and find her somewhere permanent to live.
26:17Mum, you can't keep buying holidays.
26:19We have just sold the pub.
26:21I think you've found we paid for that.
26:29And I'm sure they will upgrade us to a family package.
26:32You might want to ask your daughter.
26:34Linda's credit card.
26:36Linda's cruise.
26:36You ain't seen my phone, have you?
26:40No.
26:40No, sir.
26:40No.
26:43Oh, you're not something about.
26:45Yeah, I'm meant to be somewhere and I don't know where.
26:46Well, if you've got some free time, why don't you have a drink with your old mum?
26:49No.
27:04Well, you told him seven?
27:05Yes, I told him seven.
27:07Look, as soon as he gets here, you can show him where he needs to go.
27:10That's where I can see him.
27:20Out of the vehicle.
27:23Ouch!
27:23No, this is you, because you took a beating.
27:25Well, you think I'm going to slit her myself?
27:32Look, whatever you think this is about...
27:34Come on, Jack, I know I slept with your missus, but...
27:40Ravi Galati, I'm arresting you for possession with the intent to supply.
27:44You need to watch who else you're running with.
27:46You do not have to say anything, but it may arm your defence if you do not mention when questioned
27:49something which you later align in court.
27:51That ain't clever, Jack.
27:53You think you do say maybe given in evidence.
27:55Come on, to the car.
27:58You got him.
28:00You got him.
28:10They bonded over music.
28:14Will their soundtrack bring them back together 20 years later?
