00:00I'll see you next time
00:30Yeah, I can see that.
00:47Ow.
00:48It doesn't matter.
00:49Did you do this on purpose to get a new one?
00:53No.
00:54No.
00:54I, er, I dropped it.
00:56Into the canal, by the looks of things.
00:58Where are we supposed to find the money to replace it?
01:00I can do with that.
01:03I'm going to work.
01:07Dad?
01:08What, are you not taking it with you?
01:13Dad, please.
01:14I know you're angry.
01:16I'm sorry.
01:17I just want to help you.
01:18You don't have to pay me or anything.
01:20I don't even want to look at you.
01:22Dad!
01:22I just want to get a few bits upstairs, you know.
01:29Toothbrush, pajamas.
01:30No, not that.
01:36Um, you sure you don't want us to come with you?
01:38No.
01:40He needs to rest.
01:43So, what are you going to tell the children?
01:47Well, not the truth.
01:48We don't want them fighting to come home.
01:50Oh, joy.
01:51Sorry.
01:52Ain't going to be done until at least this afternoon.
01:54Well, go grab some stuff for Patrick.
01:56Bring up the hospital.
01:57Okay.
01:58All right, well, look.
02:00Call us if you need us.
02:02Okay?
02:02And give him my love.
02:04Hopefully they find something, eh?
02:05If I get my hands on that thieving rascal...
02:08I mean, who does that?
02:11Huh?
02:11An 85-year-old man.
02:15Yeah.
02:16All sorts of scum flowing about, isn't there?
02:19Listen, why don't we buy the kids these tickets for the festival?
02:22They've had a hard time of it, ain't they?
02:23I, um, I've got a bit of a cash flow problem, Jack.
02:27What happened to the overtime?
02:29Well, I haven't actually had the money yet.
02:32It's got to go through my line manager, HR accounts.
02:35I don't care if it has to be A-OK by the good lord himself.
02:38They owe you that.
02:39Just call him and say that you need the money.
02:41I can't.
02:42I mean, you know how it is.
02:44Like, there's procedures.
02:46It's either that, or you disappoint your son.
02:49Again.
02:50Cos I ain't got the money now, because you said you were sorted.
02:53So sort it out today.
02:55Oh, and don't start, yeah?
02:57It's not like I ain't got enough on my plate already.
03:06What if they find something?
03:08Like what?
03:09Like DNA, fingerprints, or hair.
03:12You had gloves on, and you binned the clothes you were wearing, yeah?
03:14Yeah.
03:15Well, you've got a watertight alibi, and there's nothing to link you to it.
03:18Except Howie.
03:19Howie.
03:22Howie ain't gonna say anything.
03:23Not when he thinks there's a chance of getting his hands on that money.
03:25So just...
03:27Stop panicking.
03:29That's normal.
03:29No.
03:30No!
03:31Okay.
03:36Yeah, I'm sorry, mate.
03:38I've got all the help I need.
03:40Really?
03:40Well, yeah, Oscar's running an errand for Lauren, taking his time, as per usual.
03:45Yeah.
03:45Hey, weren't you helping your dad out yesterday?
03:48Yeah, well, you know how it is.
03:50It's last then, first out.
03:53Oi.
03:55What's he doing?
03:57Oh, he's looking for a job.
03:58I've told him we'll give him 100 quid if he wants anything more than bottom of the range,
04:02refurb...
04:02He's not getting another laptop.
04:05What is going on with you two?
04:07You were tiptoeing around him last night, and this morning you can't hardly look at him.
04:11I mean, I'm angry that he wrecked it and all, but...
04:13He can't go back to school without one.
04:15Right, okay, he didn't do it.
04:16I did.
04:18I lost my bag.
04:19I saw red.
04:20Well, because of the way he spoke to Karen.
04:26He's been watching this bloke online.
04:29I've spat enough about women, you know, the usual rubbish.
04:31Oh, yeah, why don't you just...
04:32I don't know, block him!
04:33Because I don't know how, do I?
04:36Right?
04:37But that's not...
04:39just it.
04:41I opened up an email, and I wish I had, because...
04:45he's making those videos again.
04:49And I just thought, if he can't go online, then he can't do them, can't he?
04:52Are you for real?
04:53I knew I shouldn't have paid that woman off!
04:57Right, that's it.
04:59Where are you going?
05:00If you can't sit him down and talk some sense into him, then I will.
05:03No, I will.
05:04All right?
05:05I said I would.
05:07Okay?
05:07But he seems to have an answer for everything.
05:09I need time to work out how I'm going to...
05:11What are you going to do?
05:12Wait till he gets arrested?
05:13Ends up on some sort of agency, because that is what is going to happen!
05:16We have bailed him out twice.
05:18Now, Ross.
05:20We've moved continents, for God's sake!
05:22If you can't see that there is a really big problem!
05:28I will deal with it.
05:30But you going wading in is only going to make things worse, so please, just leave it.
05:35Now, make sure you do.
05:37There's no more excuses.
05:38It's good they're keeping him in, though.
05:43Knock on the head, that patch of sage, doesn't bear thinking about it, you know?
05:47Okay.
05:48Where'd you get your ginger tea nowadays?
05:50Oh, we're out of stock.
05:51Why?
05:52Someone got that upset of stomach.
05:52Um, have they found out who did it?
05:56Not yet.
05:58Oh, this is...
06:00from us.
06:01Tell the nurses it's medicinal.
06:06And...
06:06maybe this will take his mind off things.
06:13See ya.
06:17There's a party next week.
06:18I'm going to get the slinky dress.
06:20No she ain't.
06:21You trying to give your old man a heart attack?
06:22Ha ha.
06:24Alright, time's up, innit?
06:25Oh, okay.
06:26Bye, Dad.
06:27Miss you.
06:29Love you.
06:30Do you want to speak to him again?
06:31What?
06:32No.
06:32No, babe.
06:33Just try and stay out of trouble, yeah?
06:34I love you.
06:35Speak to you soon.
06:36Bye.
06:39There you go.
06:40Seems, er, on good form.
06:42You feel better?
06:43Sort of.
06:45I wish you would see that.
06:47Oh, Georgina's coming over in a bit, isn't she?
06:49That'll take your mind off things.
06:50She's blown me out.
06:51Misha, her saying's got on over.
06:52Those blow-up hot tubs.
06:54She really thinks she's all that?
06:56Well, I'm not into a bit later now, so maybe we can do something.
06:58There you go.
06:59Like what?
07:00I don't know.
07:01Anything.
07:01Anything.
07:05Meet you in the clunkies.
07:06I'll have the usual.
07:08Anything, eh?
07:09You're a brave man, aren't you?
07:10There you go, mate.
07:24You can tap me up, lovely.
07:25You don't need a receipt, do you?
07:26Good lad.
07:27Yeah, that right you're doing a whip around for Patrick?
07:30Yeah, lads, listen, I know times are hard, but come on, dig deep, yeah?
07:33Poor bloke.
07:34Whoever did that one stringing up, didn't they?
07:36Definitely.
07:36Come on, every little helps.
07:38Yeah.
07:38Come on.
07:38Oh, here he is.
07:54What are you doing here?
07:55It's Tommy, eh?
07:56Vicky said it'd be alright if I came over.
07:59Haven't you got something to say to us first?
08:02What, you think you could just come waltzing in here without an apology?
08:05I'm sorry, I was out of order.
08:09I'm going to say that again.
08:10Who do you think you are, anyway?
08:12Never.
08:13Ever.
08:15I've talked to all of them like that, you understand?
08:17Do you know what?
08:18You're lucky that I didn't knock you into the back end of next week.
08:21If you was a few years old, I'll see.
08:23I can't, I can't.
08:24I know you're upset about your mum, but that's no excuse, right?
08:27Yeah.
08:28Which is why I'm willing to give you a bit of slack bit if you put one toe out of line.
08:32I won't.
08:33I swear.
08:35All right, come on.
08:37Tommy's upstairs.
08:40You behave, all right?
08:41Of course.
08:42Come on, Patrick.
08:44You've got to try a little taster, come on.
08:46Oh, I ain't hungry, man.
08:49I just want to rest.
08:50I know, sweetheart, but you've got to build up your strength.
08:53Maybe I can find something else to tempt you.
09:05How's he doing?
09:17Well...
09:18Physically, the doctors are pleased with his progress, but...
09:23He's dumb.
09:25Oh, no, it's hospitals, innit?
09:26He'll be all right once he's back home.
09:28Well, if he don't want to eat something.
09:30You bring the Irish moss?
09:32Yeah, yeah.
09:33Um, you go get a coffee or something.
09:34You look naked.
09:39That's from Vinny.
09:39But he thought it would keep his mind off things if he could prepare up to a few winners.
09:48I know you don't approve, but...
09:53Well...
09:55If it will keep his mind off things.
09:58Look what your friend Vinny sent you.
10:13It's nice to know your friends are still thinking about you.
10:18My.
10:20Oh, he can choose from all these so many names and numbers.
10:23It is a practice, innit, Patrick?
10:25I fancy this one.
10:27Bellevue 3, 230.
10:28Southwell.
10:30Psh.
10:32Useless or soft, Grom.
10:36Aztec.
10:37Mystic.
10:38Long hordes.
10:39But improving all the time.
10:42Yeah.
10:52I don't not see this coming, eh?
10:54You love it.
10:55There.
10:59What do you reckon?
11:00Yeah, very bougie.
11:03I'm not sure my commanding officer is going to agree, but why don't we take a few photos before you've got to clean it off, yeah?
11:07Ah.
11:07What?
11:08I'm not worried about your dad, are you?
11:19I just miss him.
11:22I know he's not going to be gone forever, but...
11:26Feels like it, right?
11:28What are you looking forward to most when he does get back?
11:33Oh, I haven't even thought about it.
11:37Everything.
11:39What's first?
11:41Big party?
11:42DJ?
11:43Photo booth?
11:43I don't want to share him.
11:46Not straight away.
11:47Kitchen disco to start with.
11:50Calvin Harris to kick off the dancing.
11:51Lots.
11:53Yeah, I've forgotten.
11:54Look, I could.
11:56My hips might say he's up a little bit, but...
11:58Like Dad says, don't use it, you lose it.
12:01When you wake up in the morning
12:05And you're shadowed by the darkness
12:08So come on, the night
12:11When you wake up in the morning
12:13Darling, I'll be by your side
12:16What's the matter?
12:20Nothing, mate.
12:21We're just, um...
12:22We had a lot of fun, didn't we?
12:26Everything that's gone on is just, uh...
12:28It's easy to forget.
12:31Oh, thank you.
12:42Don't worry.
12:43Coaster's clear.
12:45I have had Vicky bend in my ear all morning.
12:48Thank goodness she's got the afternoon off.
12:51Look, I told her.
12:52Accidents happen.
12:54And granted it was an expensive one
12:56And I don't suppose Joel's running with cat helped either.
13:00She told you about that and all, did she?
13:02What's got into him?
13:04I mean, I know he ain't short on confidence, but...
13:07Talk to a grown woman like that.
13:10You know what teenagers like these days?
13:12Easily influenced.
13:14You want to nip that in a bud?
13:15To be honest...
13:16I thought I had.
13:19Listen, just ignore me.
13:21Right, he'll be fine.
13:22It's probably just a place.
13:23Well, even so, you don't want to take the chances.
13:27If you want to talk about it.
13:29Harvey's had a few problems with his son.
13:31Well, that's one way of putting it, yeah.
13:34He's in prison.
13:36Oh, like me.
13:36Yeah, and he's going to be there a long time.
13:38So, uh, if you ever want any advice on how not to do things, I'll be mad.
13:45Want a coffee?
13:46Yeah, lovely.
13:47Thanks.
13:48And it's Energy Flash nudging ahead as they come inside the final furlong.
13:52Come on, I stick mystic.
13:53Takes the lead.
13:55Purpose Maker gaining fast on the inside.
13:57It's neck and neck as they approach the line.
13:59And it's Purpose Maker.
14:01Purpose Maker wins by a short head.
14:03Glass of house white, please.
14:13Sure.
14:13Make it a large one.
14:16Don't judge me.
14:17It's been a long morning.
14:19I bet last night was fine and all.
14:21Got a mouth on him, innit, you joe?
14:24Did Kat tell you what he said?
14:25I got a tasty bit myself.
14:28I did bust not telling her.
14:29Hmm.
14:29Things kind of escalated when you got him home.
14:35How do you set them straight when they think they know it all, eh?
14:38Here we go.
14:40Chase, we're gonna need a bottle.
14:41Okay.
14:44And that was the first time you knew anything about it?
14:46Yeah.
14:47But, I mean, I had my suspicions.
14:49I knew Aaron weren't no angel, but...
14:50I mean, the police told me he targeted this fella just because of the colour of his skin.
14:55I'm...
14:56Just can't get your head around it, right?
15:00Look, Joel's not racist.
15:03But some of the things that he comes out with, I just can't understand where they come from.
15:08You can't, or you just don't want to.
15:15Look, there's stuff you could say back in the day, and I never meant nothing about it either, but...
15:20You know, words matter.
15:22I'm not saying that you're responsible for whatever it is that's going on.
15:26I'm sure it's way more complicated than that.
15:31He's really angry.
15:33His mum practically abandoned him.
15:35All right.
15:37I went...
15:38When Aaron's mum left, I was so wrapped up in my own pain.
15:45Boys and blokes, eh?
15:47We just don't know how to talk about any important stuff, do we?
15:51So, I ranted and raved, and I told him how stupid he was, but...
15:57All I'd done was just push him further down that dark path.
16:01You can't just let him get away with it, can you?
16:02No, no, of course not.
16:03You've got to tell him what he's done wrong, but...
16:05Well, just so long as he knows you've got his back.
16:08Do you trust him?
16:10Even if I don't?
16:11Yeah.
16:13Especially then.
16:15Look, if there's one thing that I've learnt from all this,
16:18it's you've got to keep the door open.
16:21Because if he can't come to you,
16:23if you're not there to listen,
16:25trust me, mate, there will be a whole long line of wrongs who will be.
16:29Hello, babe.
16:43How you doing?
16:45No, you can't bring him home yet.
16:47Because I haven't fixed it.
16:48I've been running around, getting stuff for Patrick,
16:53trying to get the money together for Denz's trip.
16:57No, not yet.
16:58I can't do everything all at once.
17:03All right, I'll go get Jack and sort the window.
17:06What?
17:07No, you're breaking up.
17:08No, sorry, I can't hear you.
17:09Oh, he just makes me so angry.
17:13If you knew the sacrifices that we had made for that boy.
17:17Well, as teenagers, isn't it?
17:19Ungrateful, selfish.
17:20I mean, if it's any consolation, they're all horrible.
17:24It's just puberty.
17:25It turns them into monsters.
17:26Yeah, but we've all been there.
17:27You was a nightmare.
17:29You weren't much better.
17:30Always winding your nan up.
17:31Well, that weren't difficult.
17:34I can hear her now.
17:36I hope you're enjoying this, Pauline.
17:39I just don't want you thinking he's getting that kind of talk from me and Ross.
17:44Listen, it's everywhere, all right?
17:45It's all over the internet.
17:46Don't even have to look for it.
17:48I mean, some of the stuff that pops up on Lil's phone.
17:52Ross wants us to ban him.
17:53Yeah, and a bit of processor.
17:55Yeah, neat.
17:55That's going to set you back like a hundred quid.
17:57You're going to have to find a pretty good job.
17:58Mate, I ain't paying for it.
18:00Vicky's gone off the deep end.
18:02Typical woman, hysterical.
18:03I'll give her a few days to calm down.
18:06Turn on the charm.
18:07Should be sweet.
18:08Yeah.
18:08She's got an eye to handle him, innit?
18:11All right, you two.
18:12Where do you think you're going?
18:13Just getting a drink.
18:15Yeah?
18:15Make sure it's a lemonade.
18:18I'm watching you.
18:19Just lemonade.
18:20Some of these influencers, they think they're God's gift.
18:23They think that women should just be full of silicone,
18:26do as they're told and keep their mouths shut.
18:28I mean, it ain't funny.
18:30I'd like to know where this woman's world is.
18:32I bet there ain't a woman in here who ain't been harassed.
18:34Yeah, they wish.
18:35Oh, oh, excuse me.
18:38Joel.
18:39I'm just saying.
18:39No, well, don't.
18:41Because Stacey's right.
18:43You have got no idea what it's like.
18:45You think as you're a boy that you can just say and do whatever you want?
18:48No, where's that sense of entitlement come from?
18:49Because it ain't me and your dad.
18:50You ain't getting another laptop.
18:53You what?
18:53No, you can't do that.
18:54You promised.
18:55Yeah.
18:55And I've changed my mind.
18:57Shall we go and sit down?
18:58No, I can't go to school without a new laptop.
18:59Yeah, it ain't up for debate.
19:02I have indulged you for far too long.
19:06Listen, if you manage to stay out of trouble for at least a month or so,
19:10then maybe we can have a rethink.
19:11But for right now...
19:12Come here and have a bottle, please, Kev.
19:15Yeah, of course.
19:15Come here and have a bottle, please, Kev.
19:17Yeah, of course.
19:42Yep.
19:45King's on my back, you know.
19:49All right, thanks.
19:50See you around Martin about half an hour, yeah?
19:54What are you doing?
19:56At least I'm checking the bins.
19:57I've got to get rid of my stuff.
19:58In broad daylight?
20:00What?
20:01Are you trying to get caught?
20:03So bring it round the back and we'll sort it when it's dark.
20:07The whole thing?
20:08We're in the bin, baby.
20:12Oh, come on.
20:27She didn't mean it.
20:30You'll talk her round.
20:32After all your stupid aunt said.
20:35Who in their right mind would harass her anyway?
20:37Maybe not in his right mind, but...
20:40It's not funny, mate.
20:43He really messed with her.
20:46That freak, Theo.
20:49He thought he owned her just because they met on secret camp.
20:52He said he was on the line.
20:58He said.
20:59He said.
21:01I'll tell her.
21:03He said.
21:04He's on the line.
21:06He said.
21:08He said.
21:09He asked.
21:10He said.
21:11He said.
21:12He said.
21:12He said.
21:13We'll take it to a clothes bank in the supermarket as soon as it gets dark.
21:33Act normal, all right? Just relax.
21:43I want my money.
21:49What money? We told you last night.
21:51Oh, yeah. You don't know what I'm talking about, right?
21:58Honey, that says different. Forensics would have a field day.
22:04So unless you want me to take it to the station.
22:13You are?
22:14Yeah, I am. Are you going to come eat dinner?
22:16Oh, you've got your key. There's chips in the freezer.
22:18Well, Dad's been working all day.
22:20What is this, 1950? You stay and drink your drink.
22:23I should actually drink your drink.
22:24Sorry, sorry. How drunk are you? How embarrassing is that?
22:28Oi! Show a bit of respect.
22:30To you, I skate at 95, you dirty little prostitute.
22:34Joel!
22:34What are you? Get out! Before I throw you out!
22:38Hat is fine, all right? Is that supposed to upset me?
22:40I ain't ashamed of my body or my stretch marks or any of it
22:43and I don't need some stupid little boy who knows nothing about it
22:47telling me what to do with it.
22:48Right, do you know what a skate is?
22:50Someone who gets knocked up whilst they're still in school
22:51and it's in a dictionary with a picture of your daughter.
22:56Sorry.
22:57Oi! Oi!
22:57You deserve that!
22:59After what you said about my linen.
23:00Now, get out of my pub, you bard!
23:03You said you were going to deal with it, so I so deal with it!
23:07Well, yeah, I mean, she's very talented, that girl, aren't she?
23:10Oh, no, I don't think much of a model.
23:14Oi!
23:16I don't know, I sat about his hands.
23:19Hang on.
23:22What's that?
23:24Have you got a death wish or something? I thought you were done with it.
23:26Oh, yeah, all right.
23:28No, what, what, what? Your mates don't send you all of those snaps, Jack?
23:30Not in budget smugglers, they don't, no.
23:32Come here, come on.
23:33I can't wait to see your talent.
23:39What are you doing, mate?
23:39It's nothing, all right? It's just a bit of honest flirting.
23:42Well, I'm sure Phil and Ben ain't going to see it like that.
23:44And what about Lexi, eh? Do you really want to throw away everything?
23:46No, all right, no.
23:47I want back what we had.
23:49Me, Ben, Lex, I'll delete it, all right?
23:51I promise.
23:54Look, gone, all right?
23:55I swear.
23:59Jack.
23:59She humiliated me.
24:08I don't care. You can't hit a woman.
24:10Oh, but she can hit me.
24:12I'm a kid.
24:13You called her daughter a...
24:14A skit?
24:15Yeah, because she is one.
24:17Do you think it's OK for a 13-year-old to have a baby?
24:20No, of course I don't.
24:21But we've been over this.
24:23There are certain things you just can't say,
24:25no matter what that muppet on the internet tells you.
24:26Oh, I wish I ain't shown you now.
24:28You think I'm stupid, don't you?
24:29No, I don't.
24:31And I am glad that you showed me.
24:35You're a good kid, Joel.
24:37I know that.
24:38And I get that it's confusing.
24:41When I started out,
24:44women were flattered if you whistled at them.
24:47Now, on sight, it's instant sacking.
24:50But getting angry and calling people names
24:52is only ever going to get you into trouble,
24:54and I don't want that for you.
24:55And I don't want you turning into other people for advice, either.
24:59I'm your dad.
25:00I've got your back.
25:05To prove it,
25:07if you want to go back to Walford Hyatt
25:09and be with your mates,
25:11then you're going to need one of these
25:17when you do.
25:22But...
25:23you promise me now,
25:26no more influencers
25:27and no more filming.
25:30If you get tempted,
25:33talk to me.
25:35I'm here.
25:37All right?
25:38So, it's all booked.
25:54Deluxe Yerch.
25:55For VIP village access.
25:57Should have seen Danzy's face when I told him.
25:59I understand
26:01that you're scared, Patrick,
26:03but he won't come back.
26:05Scared?
26:07I'm not scared.
26:08Look, we just need to get you home.
26:12Look, the doctor's just been,
26:14and there's a chance
26:14they might discharge him in the morning.
26:16I's an old man.
26:18They can't just chuck me out
26:20because they're on the bed.
26:21I ain't ready.
26:25Well, maybe not right away,
26:27you know.
26:28Maybe after a good night's sleep.
26:30I am not going anywhere.
26:38Victoria Force
26:39is neither the tallest
26:41nor the white.
26:42I'm not going anywhere.
