00:26Oscar pulled the knife on me
00:28Will you keep your voice down?
00:29Jimmy and Louis are upstairs
00:31Well that's exactly who we should be focusing on, Lauren
00:33We've got enough going on today with Jimmy's first support group
00:36What if, right, it was Louis?
00:39He's got up in the middle of the night to go and see his uncle
00:41and all of a sudden he's got a kitchen knife pulled on him
00:43This has got nothing to do with you, Ian
00:45What are you even doing here?
00:46Helping my son get over a near-death experience
00:48Ah, please
00:49My dad's got a point, no?
00:50What if it was Louis?
00:53I really am sorry
00:55Like I said, I thought you were someone, eh?
00:57Yeah, see, I've been thinking about that
00:59When you attacked me
01:01you said no one threatens my family
01:03Bit of a strange thing to say to a burglar, don't you think?
01:06Oscar, who did you think I really was?
01:10Mike
01:12The geezer with the cricket bat
01:14The one at the probation centre
01:16Why would he be in here where our kids are sleeping?
01:18Right, that is it
01:19I am phoning the place
01:20Will you just stay out of this, Ian?
01:21No, just not
01:22Just
01:23Get him out of my house
01:32Like I said
01:34That was your last chance, Oscar
01:36Yeah, okay, I get it
01:40You want me out too?
01:46Oh, er...
01:49I'll go back
01:50Yeah, you just pop a pill
01:51Job done, innit?
01:52But didn't you sleep with Joel like three months ago?
01:53It's at least more than just taking a tablet
01:54No, look, it's cool
01:55It's chill
01:56Er, excuse me
01:57Yeah?
01:58Isn't it no holidays?
01:59Because usually you ain't at your bed until lunchtime
02:00No
02:01What's wrong?
02:02Nothing
02:03I'm fine
02:04I'm going
02:05Okay
02:06Catch you later
02:07See ya
02:08I still think you should tell him and your mum, you know?
02:09No
02:10Look, they've got enough on their plate anyway
02:11You sure you don't want me to come with you?
02:12Look, Barney, thank you, but it's no biggie
02:14It's all right, okay?
02:15It's all right
02:16No, look, it's cool
02:17It's chill
02:18Er, excuse me
02:19Yeah?
02:20Isn't it no holidays?
02:21Because usually you ain't at your bed until lunchtime
02:22No
02:23What's wrong?
02:24Nothing
02:25I'm fine
02:26I'm fine
02:27I'm fine
02:28I'm fine
02:29I'm fine
02:30I'm fine
02:31Okay
02:32Catch you later
02:33See ya
02:34Okay
02:37I'll see you later
02:38Ring me if you need me, yeah?
02:43Hey
02:44Hello
02:46Listen
02:47I just wanted to say I'm really sorry
02:52And
02:54I thought maybe I could come with you today
02:57For support
02:59To try and change my mind more, like
03:01No, thank you
03:04Teat bags
03:07Where are the teat bags?
03:08Listen, Alfred
03:09I can't work at the Albert no more
03:10Cindy's killing me, yeah?
03:11So, please
03:12Do yourself a favour
03:13Check out them figures, right?
03:14Because we can't afford you right now
03:16Look
03:17All bells and whistles, you said
03:18Hey?
03:19I ain't got me contacts, me photos
03:20Well, listen, don't worry about it
03:21Cause I've got a puck a deal and a new network, alright?
03:23That'd be sweet, trust me
03:24Trust you
03:25Yeah, of course
03:26Look how much you're paying Tracy
03:27I'd be half of that
03:28What's this?
03:29Oh, stop me nuts
03:30He's looking for a job, right?
03:31And I've tried to explain him
03:32We're hardly breaking even
03:33With the amount of rent we're bunging to Elaine and Linda
03:35Listen
03:36Listen
03:37Tracy's getting on a little bit now
03:38She don't want to be serving drunks the rest of her life, does she?
03:40She's a legend
03:41Would be slaughtered
03:42That's why I'm thinking less of a firing
03:44And more of a thank you very much retiring
03:46We do have to cut costs
03:49That's right
03:50Proper management skills there
03:52No missing
03:53Gonna go places I think
03:54Oh no, just hang on a second
03:55We're gonna put a Slater stamp on this gaff, ain't we?
03:58Right
03:59Let me know how Tracy takes it
04:00Yeah
04:01Let's know
04:12The phone Cora
04:14She weren't exactly buzzing but said
04:16If I've got nowhere else to go
04:18I'll let the YLT know
04:21You know, earlier
04:24I thought Uncle Jack was dealing with Mike
04:28Yeah, so?
04:30Well, so what's the real reason, Ned?
04:34Why do you have a knife in your bedroom, Oscar?
04:41You know you can talk to me
04:44What are you so scared of?
04:47Oscar
04:49You don't give up, do you?
04:52Fine
04:54If it will get you off my back
04:56I just
04:58Got a bit of a kick in the juvie
05:01No big deal
05:02Why?
05:04Guess my face didn't fit
05:05Unbelievable, I know
05:06Did they hurt you really badly?
05:10No, it's just, er
05:15It's just what happens, ain't it, you know
05:21Gobby Newby gets her doing every night
05:25Every night?
05:28Yeah, like I said, it's just
05:29It's just what happens
05:31No
05:32No, it ain't
05:35You should have called me
05:38I phoned Tanya
05:41Silly mayor told me to report it
05:45She ain't got a clue what happens to snitches in there
05:47No
05:50Well you ain't in there no more
05:51No
05:53You don't need a knife here
05:55Not anywhere
05:58You know, you're actually more at risk with it
06:00It don't make you no safer
06:04What are you saying?
06:08Mum and Dad might have turned their back on you, but I ain't
06:13You're saying it
06:15You're staying with your family where you're safe
06:20What about Peter?
06:23Don't worry about Peter
06:26I'll sort it
06:37I thought Mum was meant to be taking you shopping in town today
06:40I need to stay here for a friend
06:41Seriously, mate
06:42Any chance to sort out that tragic wardrobe?
06:44I would grab it with both hands if I was you
06:47It's called compassion, Harry
06:49But I guess you can't understand that
06:52Or spell it
06:54Whatever
06:55See you later
06:56See you later
07:05I think you and I need to have a little chat
07:07Don't you?
07:12Shhh
07:14Please, just keep your mouth shut when it's on your way
07:17Alright?
07:19Still here then?
07:21Look, you know what I said, how about Bobby?
07:23Tell him you lot, you never turned your back on him
07:26Oscar's my brother and I can't turn my back on him
07:28Bobby didn't pull a knife in anyone
07:30Just smashed the sister round the knot of a jewellery box
07:33Look, it won't happen again, will it, Oscar?
07:35It ain't the point, it's everything he brings with him
07:37Here
07:47He was constantly beating up inside for no reason
07:50Ain't it?
07:52That's why he had the knife in the first place
07:54He's traumatised
07:56What about this mic?
07:57What about this mic?
08:00My Uncle Jack's not in here
08:02He's nicked him has he?
08:03Hang him up
08:05Right, well he could just turn up at our front door at any time, Lauren
08:08It's unlikely, isn't it?
08:09Now that he knows the police are on to him
08:11Unlikely ain't a no though, is it?
08:14All I'm thinking about is Louie and Jimmy, our boys
08:17That's all I care about, they come first
08:19Peter...
08:20Lauren, I've got to get back to the store, got a delivery coming
08:22I'll see you at the community centre later
08:24No
08:26What are you talking about? It's Jimmy's first support group
08:28No, no, no, I think I'd like to just do this one on my own, Peter
08:31He's my son
08:33Yeah, and I'm glad that your family is so important to you
08:36But it's just, it's a shame that mine ain't, Peter
08:44Harry, you'd better call me back
08:45Hey, Rav's looking good, son
08:48You've done something different with the old barnet
08:50I guess I've always fancied a man bun
08:51What's up, Alfie?
08:52Well, seeing as I can't find Suki anywhere
08:54And she's not answering the blower
08:56This is for you
08:58What's this?
08:59It's resignation
09:01Well, you think you've actually got a job to resign from
09:02After you were a little despairing, though?
09:04Hey, come on, Ravs
09:06We didn't actually make it official, the law and all that
09:08But let's not go there
09:10So, I've got something for you
09:11I've got the perfect replacement, alright?
09:13What are you talking about?
09:16Tracy!
09:18Aye? See?
09:19Just listen to what I've got to say
09:20She's got perfect organisation skills
09:22Social skills are second to none
09:24Okay, this is going to be devastating to let her go, obviously
09:26But, you know, my loss is going to be in a minute, Mark's game
09:28But just do me a favour, alright?
09:29Just tell her it didn't come from me, yeah?
09:31Well, hold on, so
09:33What are you saying? She's your most expendable asset?
09:35Doesn't say much for her, does it?
09:37Hey!
09:38I'm with Suki and Vinnie gone AWAR
09:39But one less thing on your plate
09:40Won't regret it, alright?
09:42See you later!
09:44Excuse me
09:45Excuse me
09:46Excuse me
09:57Miss Navani, I meant what I said
09:59Okay?
10:00I want to support you
10:02Because what you're about to go through
10:05You don't want to do it on your own
10:08Trust me
10:09Your sister's at the support group
10:20You should at least go say goodbye to me
10:23You know what birds are like when they've had babies
10:27Get all emotional and that
10:29It's easier to make
10:31Alright
10:32Well, I'll see you
10:34Oh
10:36You know you're an idiot, right?
10:39I'm even lying alone today
10:41Mate, you heard her
10:43My sweet pea
10:45She might not want you there, but she means you
10:47Oscar, I can't need to stop
10:51My train ain't light for an hour
10:54It's not like I ain't done it before
10:55Mate, you are hilarious
10:56You were fired the second you pulled a knife on your boss
10:58This is about your son, Pete, not me
11:01Fine
11:03Do what you want
11:09Oscar
11:10If one penny eighth accounted for
11:16The scout's on
11:17Right, no
11:30After you a message
11:32You've got your dealer, Abbey
11:34You've got the one who wants to get it gone, right?
11:37Right?
11:39Oh, this is Harry
11:43Fine
11:45Phones too?
11:46No, the rope is problem
11:48I'll drop you a pin
11:50Enjoy the party
11:54I like parties
11:55Is that tonight?
11:56What's this?
11:57Harry's going to a party tonight
11:59Yeah, I don't think you'd enjoy it, mate
12:00I agree
12:01But I want to come
12:02You're not going to some stranger's house, okay?
12:04End of
12:05I'll see you at home for dinner
12:06Spag bowl
12:11Come on, mate
12:18Ravi offer me a job
12:20Trace
12:21Trace, that's brilliant
12:22You know, we'll be sorry to see you go
12:23But I understand
12:24No, I said no
12:25I love working here
12:26That's lovely you can say
12:28But you know, we don't want to stand in your way, sweetheart
12:30You know, be
12:31All right
12:32Okay
12:33I appreciate your loyalty, though
12:36Alfie, Alfie, Alfie, you're a man of the world
12:39I like to think so, Paddy
12:40All right, then
12:41Help us settle something here
12:42Oh, it's too late for us, Alfie
12:43But there's still time to Skype if you want to
12:45What would you prefer to attend?
12:47A lively Jamaican wedding with nice reggae music
12:50Yeah, I'm loving that
12:51You know
12:52A feast of curry goat
12:53Rice and peas
12:54Jerk chicken
12:55Yeah, all over that
12:56Escovige fish
12:57Well, I'm not so keen on the fish
12:58Yeah, but even better, man
13:00A Trinidadian-style wedding
13:02With that steel band playing some wiki-calypso tunes, eh?
13:06And the best rum punch you ever tasted in your whole life, eh?
13:09And smoke pigtail
13:11Slow cooked in a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce
13:15To the tender man
13:17The thing melting in your mouth
13:18Mmmmmmm
13:19And your partying till sunrise the next morning
13:22What do you say, brother?
13:23Hey, it all sounds fantastic
13:24Yeah, but why don't you have it here?
13:26In the wedding reception, I mean
13:27Me and Cat have done it here twice
13:28And it's perfect, yeah?
13:29It was a very nice party we will think about
13:31we will think about it.
13:32There you go.
13:34Cat, listen, listen,
13:35we'll have to keep Tracy on
13:36cos we could have another wedding happening, you know?
13:39And what about the other 364 days of the year?
13:41I know what you mean.
13:42You haven't done it, have you?
13:44Right, if you want a job doing properly, ask a woman.
13:46Trace, you've got a sec, serve him.
13:48Yeah, sure.
13:49Get a bottle of wine, you know, a couple of glasses.
13:50Oh, lovely.
13:51Right, I'll kind of get you, mate.
13:55That's it.
14:00Bye.
14:01Sorry.
14:05How's it all about it?
14:07Yeah, fine.
14:11Oscar was just leaving,
14:12but I've stuck him on a stool,
14:14so there's still time to say goodbye to him.
14:16Right.
14:18You're passionate to Daddy, yeah?
14:21Hey.
14:22Come on, Mum.
14:24I'll be back in a minute, then.
14:25OK.
14:27These are your friends.
14:28You know, today was the first time that Oscar had spoken about young offenders.
14:36Yeah, it took Bobby a long time to open up about his experiences, too.
14:39Because he gives it the big one, but inside he's just a scared little boy.
14:46Well, I get that, but, you know, Corey's his nan.
14:49She can look after him, no?
14:50I'm his sister.
14:52If you think about it, I'm pretty much the only family that he's got left.
14:56And it's not his fault that he's so messed up.
14:59I just want to protect him.
15:04Like you wanted to protect Bobby after everything that he did.
15:08I've only just got him back.
15:09I can't lose him again.
15:12Please, look, I'll make sure that Uncle Jack sorts out that Mike in his goons.
15:18And the boys, they'll be safe, I promise.
15:22Just give him another chance.
15:25He won't mess up again.
15:26Have they offered you any counselling?
15:43Don't need it.
15:46It's just, you know, you think you're OK and then it hits you later.
15:50A week, a month, a year.
15:53That'll be good.
15:53Bubba, why do you want this abortion?
15:57Are you really doing this again?
16:00I'm 16.
16:02Yeah, but most girls who get pregnant young, they...
16:05They don't have the support network that you do.
16:08They don't have an entire family wanting to help.
16:13So I can start to repeat?
16:14I just want to understand that's all.
16:17It wasn't planned, was it?
16:18So it wasn't meant to happen?
16:20But it has happened.
16:22And now you've got this tiny little life growing inside of you.
16:28You know the baby's the size of a strawberry, apparently.
16:31He's got a little heartbeat and he'll be...
16:32Stop.
16:34Please.
16:35I just need to make sure of Arnie.
16:37Because this is real now.
16:39There is no going back.
16:41I've made my decision.
16:42It's going to be OK.
16:48I just need to get you home, OK?
16:54You said before that you'd had enough of what they were saying online.
16:58Are you terminating your pregnancy because of a few idiots sitting behind a keyboard?
17:03No, that's not why.
17:05But it would be a million times worse if they found out.
17:07Hashtag knocked up Nandra.
17:11It's got a ring to it, don't you feel it?
17:12I found you.
17:13No, please.
17:14I've made up my mind.
17:16And if you can't support me, you can leave.
17:20OK?
17:24Two pounds for you.
17:25I just need no pound, mate.
17:26No, I can't.
17:27Tell you what, it's on me, yeah?
17:28Keep your money.
17:29Cheers.
17:30Go.
17:30Here.
17:32A little bit.
17:33A bit of hold for you, Amy Brannan.
17:36But then you may fussy, are you?
17:37Yeah.
17:42That's 50p.
17:45Or what?
17:49What's the matter, mate?
17:51Such a big man, how your pig uncle ain't here to help you.
17:54Mate is right on corner.
17:55That's gone.
17:56I ain't going anywhere.
18:02I can do this the easy way.
18:08Fine.
18:09Violence
18:10ain't really the answer, gentlemen.
18:13Yeah, see, I disagree.
18:14But what if there was a more lucrative way out of this, eh?
18:19See, I'm running this store now.
18:21Make some decent coin.
18:22Fair.
18:24And everyone's got their price, right?
18:30Two grand.
18:35Seriously?
18:36Well, that's got to take some time.
18:38I'm going to need a holding deposit then, aren't I?
18:40No, no, this ain't right.
18:50Hi.
18:51What's going on?
18:53I've got a nap.
19:01Oh, wow.
19:02You really can't pull a pint, can you?
19:04Are you literally working a bath, Freddy?
19:06We only do bottles, Alf.
19:07OK, well, don't be serving any more punters just yet, all right?
19:09So, what do you want me to do?
19:11OK, um, you can do a little bit of PR, OK?
19:16I want you to work your charm on the Truman's.
19:18Convince them to have the wedding reception here in the Queen Vic.
19:21There's no better way to start a married life.
19:23You got this, yeah?
19:24I can do that.
19:24Yeah, good lad.
19:25All right, bye-bye.
19:26Thank you, Alfie.
19:28You're welcome, sweetheart.
19:32She seems to take that well.
19:34Yeah.
19:35See ya.
19:35Yeah.
19:36See you later, Trace.
19:37See ya, Trace.
19:37Bye, darling.
19:38And she just seems to take it very well.
19:40Yeah.
19:44You didn't tell me.
19:46No, no, I didn't.
19:47Look, she has ways out for your eye.
19:48I even ended up giving her a pay rise in the night off as we drank a bottle of wine.
19:52Oh.
19:52Look, we can't fire, Trace.
19:54The old girl's part of the furniture.
19:55Yeah, I know, I know.
19:57Yeah, well.
19:58We'll have to break the bad news to Freddy, though, won't we?
20:00It's not your fault.
20:05It doesn't matter.
20:06Pete's desperate to see the back of me.
20:08He'll call the feds and I'm back in juvie.
20:09Well, let's just go find this Mike Muppet and get your money back.
20:12Do you know why Tanya won't take me back?
20:14Because they tried to petrol bomb her gaff.
20:16OK, well, we're going to have to replace the cash, then, aren't we?
20:22Nice one.
20:23You.
20:24I'll pay you back.
20:25You're my favourite cousin, you know that.
20:26Definitely the fittest.
20:27I mean, if you want blood ray.
20:28Too far.
20:29Even for you.
20:31I'm skilled anyways.
20:35How much are we talking?
20:36About a ton.
20:41You've got the gift of the gab.
20:43Why don't you go put it to use?
20:44I'd have to sell him a lot of fruit and veg.
20:53No.
20:55Desperate times.
21:05Yo, Bill.
21:06All right?
21:07Yeah.
21:07Do you mind watching this tour for a bit, mate?
21:09Me and some geezer who's buying these off me.
21:11Yeah, yeah.
21:12Cool.
21:12Cool.
21:13Well, they ain't cool.
21:15He's getting them for a steal.
21:16But money's been well tight since I got out of the slammer, so there we go.
21:20But I mean, £200 for these.
21:22Robbery, Bill.
21:23Robbery.
21:23£200 for a pair of chainers.
21:25Mate, these are the last ones Dr. Dre ever put his name to.
21:30Never going to make another pair.
21:33Yeah, I read something about it.
21:34Yeah.
21:35Proper collector's item.
21:36If I wasn't desperate, I'd be looking for a bag of sad no props.
21:40A grand?
21:41At least, mate.
21:43Put them in an auction.
21:44You know?
21:45One went for five large last week.
21:47Shut up.
21:48I'm telling you, mate, honestly, it's fever-y.
21:51But means must.
21:54Yeah.
21:57Ten minutes, yeah?
21:58Oscar. Oscar, hold up.
22:09Why are they taking you so long, ma'am?
22:13Have they even explained what's going to happen in there?
22:15Oh, here we go again.
22:16I am just giving you the option of avoiding any trauma, that's all.
22:19What, did you try to stop Aunt the Ash as well?
22:23Well, life was different back then.
22:25At least she was in prison and I was looking after the kids in the businesses.
22:30But you know what?
22:32If I had offered her Schnitt the same thing I am you, she'd have taken it.
22:37And I wouldn't have lost a grandchild.
22:39And a daughter as well.
22:42So that is what this is about then?
22:45You just wanted to fix history?
22:48Well, at first, maybe.
22:51But, you know, the more I think about it, right...
22:54me and Eve having a baby.
22:56A new start after everything we've been through.
23:00We'd be great parents.
23:03And we deserve it.
23:05But Eve doesn't want a baby.
23:08I think she'll come round.
23:09What if I helped you?
23:24Financially?
23:27What, you want to buy my baby?
23:29No, not like that.
23:30I mean, expenses.
23:32That's how a normal surrogacy would work, right?
23:34So, that kind of thing.
23:35No.
23:39No deal.
23:50Oscar?
23:52Hi.
23:53Hey.
23:53Where are your shoes?
23:55Well, see, that's a funny story.
23:56Oh, I don't even want to know, do I?
23:59Look, we've got some good news.
24:01You can stay.
24:03Yeah?
24:04You're on your last warning, though, mate.
24:06And no more, no more blades.
24:08Pete, mate, you're giving me all the feels here.
24:11Come on, bring it in, big man.
24:12No, no, no, just don't, just don't let your sister down again.
24:16Dip, dip, dip.
24:16All okay, man?
24:22Yes.
24:22Check out the fruits of my labour.
24:25See what you think.
24:26Well, you've done well here.
24:27What can I say?
24:28Sales is in my blood.
24:30Must be the only decent thing I got from the old man.
24:34Give you a little bit extra for doing so well, mate.
24:37Does that mean I get my old job back?
24:39Well, come on, Peter.
24:41He is good.
24:44Yeah, fine.
24:45Right!
24:45Fine, back soon.
24:48Dr Dre and Ed funds, not trainers.
24:51I want my money back.
24:52Got a receipt?
24:53What do you mean I got a receipt?
24:54Well, T's and C's, Bill, T's and C's.
24:56No approval of purchase, no returns.
24:57How can I have T's and C's if I haven't got a receipt?
24:59Total conditions.
25:00Three or four.
25:01How was work?
25:12Work was fine.
25:18Something wrong?
25:20I've sent Harry a text, but he hasn't read it.
25:24Probably hadn't fought at a party.
25:29I was just looking out for you, okay?
25:31I just don't think it was safe for you to go.
25:33I want to.
25:34I'm an adult.
25:36You don't even know the guy whose party he is.
25:38I want to be my own person, but you're not letting me.
25:44I'm doing my best here, coach-up.
25:45I want a brother, not a babysitter.
25:49I just want to say cheers for the inspo earlier.
26:09Billy's raging.
26:10I've still got a banging pair of trainers out of it.
26:12You have no idea where to go for you to hold on to them inside.
26:16Inside?
26:17You were in there for like five minutes, mate.
26:19You're hardly sure, Shank.
26:21Who?
26:28Who snuffed it?
26:30Maybe me soon.
26:32Mike?
26:34It was the 2K.
26:35By next week, I was going to come for me again.
26:39What are you going to do, Ben?
26:50You know,
26:51you were only a little bit younger than your mum when she had the window.
26:56And then she had me less than a year later.
26:58I don't know how she did it, to be honest.
27:00But she did it.
27:02And look how you turned out.
27:05Bold,
27:06smart,
27:07strong,
27:09funny.
27:11And just as stubborn.
27:15You know what, Avani?
27:19I think
27:20you need to do what's right for you.
27:24Okay?
27:26I'm not going to pressure you anymore.
27:27I am, however.
27:31Going to get a cup of tea.
27:33Want mum?
27:38How much?
27:44Enough.
27:50We're ready for you now.
27:52Sorry to have kept me waiting.
27:53I'm...
27:54Look, I'm...
27:59I'm sorry.
28:00I think I've changed my mind.
28:02So, um...
28:04You can have my baby.
