00:00MUSIC
00:18Please try and kick the ball in the square, yeah?
00:20Come on, one touch football.
00:22Right, that's it, reindeer, come on.
00:24Up the hammers.
00:30Quickly, quickly, quickly.
00:32Lay down there, all right, go on.
00:34Oh, careful!
00:36Sorry, son, boys.
00:38Sorry, my bad.
00:39It's OK. No, I'm done, sir.
00:41Sorry about that.
00:42Hey, how are you? Right, come on, let's go.
00:44Ooh, very impressive, I must say.
00:48You know what they say, it's not the size of the boat,
00:50it's about the motion and the ocean.
00:52You only say that if you've got a small boat.
00:54So, who's wrapped up with a speedboat?
00:57Well, is he good-looking?
00:59Yes.
01:01This is.
01:03Bob.
01:04This is Terry, and he's my dad.
01:05All right?
01:06She's the one I was telling you about.
01:08Sorted out all the guided tours for the true crime fans.
01:10Oh, yeah.
01:11I'm sorry.
01:12It's all right.
01:13All right, Terry, I'm Alfie Moon,
01:15and I have no idea who this battle axe is.
01:18But, um, anyway, I'm gonna leave you to it.
01:21Right, but, Ernie, last one in the park's the referee.
01:23I'll see you later.
01:24All right, see you later, Tom.
01:25See ya.
01:26Ta-da.
01:27Is kids really called Bert and Ernie?
01:30Yeah.
01:31Can't choose your neighbours, I guess.
01:34They're all right, really.
01:35Even Mum has her moments.
01:37She delivered Becks many moons ago.
01:40Didn't have her down as a midwife.
01:42You'd be right.
01:44It's a long story.
01:46Yeah.
01:47And I want to hear it.
01:48I want to hear all the stories.
01:50And then I want you to tell me what you think about my offer.
01:53I still haven't heard back from the police about that complaint I made.
02:05When you really think she'll be top of their priority list?
02:08Well, if I don't get an update from Jack soon,
02:10I'll be shoving a rocket where the sun don't shine.
02:21Manifesting works.
02:22Who knew?
02:23Good morning.
02:24So, Mo hears me screaming through the wall, and she comes round to check that I'm not
02:37being murdered, and there I am, Becks crowning away on the sofa.
02:41And you had no idea that you...
02:43Not a clue.
02:44No.
02:45I was only 15.
02:47Well, you did a good job, and you stuck by her, and you brought her up proper.
02:52It wasn't always that simple.
02:55She was adopted at first.
02:58I got her back when she was five and a half.
03:02Well, you got there in the end.
03:05Bit like me, I guess.
03:07Just took me a little bit longer.
03:09Well, I think it's a bit different.
03:12I was just a kid.
03:14Yeah, well, I weren't far off meself.
03:16I mean, hands up, I should never have left you the way I did, but...
03:21Would me and your mum have sorted it out if I'd stayed?
03:24Worked through me issues?
03:26Would I have stepped up as a dad?
03:33Do you, er...
03:35Do you regret putting Becks up for adoption?
03:37Missing all those milestones?
03:39You know, first words, first steps, first at school?
03:41Yeah, of course I do.
03:43But it wasn't like that.
03:45I did what I thought was best at the time.
03:47So...
03:49You can relate?
03:53No, I...
03:54I couldn't do it then.
03:55But I'm a different man now.
03:57I've...
03:58Travelled.
03:59I've earned good money.
04:00I proper turned me life around.
04:02I've lived, Sonia.
04:05Don't you think it's your turn to do the same?
04:10Just all a bit fast, innit?
04:12In fact, it's not just fast.
04:14It's...
04:15Ridiculous.
04:17I just need a bit more time.
04:18Yeah, of course.
04:21But my flight leaves tomorrow still.
04:25Yeah.
04:26It's just a boat, Freddie.
04:30It's a speed boat, yeah?
04:31Yeah, well, I'm not the biggest fan.
04:33Why, face sake, can't you got your own laptop?
04:35I don't want Sonia to catch me playing detective at home, do I?
04:38Right, well, I doubt he's the type to be posting on his Instagram about the crimes he's been committing to you.
04:42All right, Gen Z, why don't you come over and see what you can find?
04:46Go on.
04:49All right.
04:50Well, it's no surprise you can't find him.
04:51You spelt his surname wrong.
04:52Well, it looks all right to me.
04:54Oh.
04:55Right, you're looking out for Sonia?
04:56Yeah.
04:57Oh, I sense a butt coming on.
04:59When...
05:00When Zoe told me that she wanted to move to Spain with...
05:03Harry...
05:05Of course, I said I wasn't having any of it, but the more I said no, the more she just dug her heels in.
05:09It's different.
05:10Zoe's your daughter, not your sister.
05:11Sort of was at the time, actually.
05:13Bruce, my point, Sonia's too young.
05:14I remember my mum crying her eyes out.
05:16Him shouting his mouth off, kicking off.
05:18Look, everyone thought I was wrong about Rhys.
05:20Don't want to make the same mistake again, do I?
05:22That's a good point, to be fair.
05:24Thank you, Freddie.
05:25I'm not saying you're wrong, Bea.
05:26Just be careful where you go about it, yeah?
05:28You go too hard, you'll just push her further away.
05:34So you're saying I just turned up out of blue?
05:37No, I'm not buying that.
05:38So you're saying my daughter's a liar?
05:40No, I'm saying your daughter brought dealers into my house, yeah?
05:43And that ain't a good look for a copper, is it?
05:45But traumatising the young girl is.
05:47All right, calm down.
05:48It's a bit too early to go all caveman, yeah?
05:51Is it yours?
05:52Be honest with me.
05:54It's not mine.
05:55I just told you that.
05:56But have you been smoking it?
05:59Avani.
06:00What do we say?
06:01About being open with us, telling us everything?
06:03Look, I ain't doing this.
06:05Avani!
06:11He ain't gonna do anything.
06:12Avani.
06:15Avani.
06:16Look, please.
06:19Look, teenage girls ain't easy, I get it.
06:22But this is the second time that Amy's been pulled into this stuff.
06:26She was in the wrong?
06:27That's fair.
06:29Bizarrely a surprise, is it?
06:31After everything she's been through, treat a child like a criminal and they're gonna act out.
06:36Look, the investigating officers, they played by the book.
06:40She wasn't smoking weed and hanging around with dealers before all of this, was she?
06:43No.
06:44So we need to get to the root cause of it.
06:47Well, she's your daughter.
06:48That's down to you, innit?
06:51Would you be happy if they did the same thing to Amy?
06:54I didn't think so.
06:56Can you at least just chase up my complaint?
07:01I see what I can do.
07:03No promises.
07:06Barley.
07:08I don't know, Cass.
07:10I've only known him half a day.
07:12And I mean, Barley.
07:13I didn't even know where it was till I looked on the map.
07:16Well, you know.
07:18Might fall in love with the place.
07:20I mean, I didn't exactly see myself swapping Walford for South Africa all those years ago.
07:24Did you regret that?
07:26No.
07:27No, not to begin with.
07:29Not until Gavin showed his true colours.
07:31But then again, it was different for me, innit?
07:32I work with my brother.
07:34Not with a man I barely know.
07:36What if it's my chance to get to know him?
07:39My only chance?
07:43Yeah.
07:44Yeah, I get it.
07:45I do.
07:46But sometimes you just have to go with your gut instincts, don't you?
07:48No.
07:49Just tweet carefully.
07:50All right, Summer?
07:51And do what's right for you.
07:53Not him.
07:57I don't think that I can bear hearing her crying at night any more, Harvey.
08:03How's your hobby?
08:04Sorry.
08:05Sorry, I was miles away.
08:07Hi.
08:09Hello, you.
08:12I was actually looking for Stacey.
08:14Is she working?
08:17What, is everything OK?
08:19She won't come out of the room.
08:20She's not eating.
08:21She barely says anything to anyone.
08:23I'm so sorry.
08:24I didn't realise she was still struggling like that.
08:27Actually, Sonia.
08:29Would you come to a tour?
08:31I mean, I'm at Melvick's End.
08:34And you two will have a special bond.
08:37So, you know, maybe, maybe you get through to her.
08:40You two will.
08:42And you leave it with me.
08:49Afternoon.
08:55So you're just going to ignore it, then?
08:57The massive elephant in the room?
08:59All I did was chase up a complaint from an over.
09:02Oh, so you admit it, then?
09:03You're trying to throw us under the bus?
09:05We weren't by the book, Gov.
09:06Was it my proudest moment as an officer? No way.
09:08By the letter of the law, we did nothing wrong.
09:11You did.
09:12Not like you were just doing your job.
09:14But would I want my Amy going through the same thing?
09:17Even if she did commit the crime?
09:20You're just kids, isn't they?
09:22Do you know what the problem with you is?
09:24You've been out of uniform too long.
09:31Here you go. Come on.
09:39What's this?
09:42I really had that made before she left.
09:45Guilty conscience.
09:47Yeah, but it don't make up for what she did, does it?
09:52I haven't asked you how you're getting on yet.
09:57Your mum's worried about you.
09:58Your mum's worried about you.
09:59She's always worried about me.
10:02So there's Terry.
10:04You sure it's him this time?
10:06Yeah.
10:08Yeah, it's him.
10:10We had ID and a photo of me and him before.
10:14Cory left her as a baby.
10:15Do you think, er, do you think you'd be doing all this if things hadn't happened the way they did?
10:22Flying halfway around the world with Rhys months after having a baby?
10:27Well, I seriously doubt it.
10:29I had a job getting him to sorrow, let alone Asia.
10:31So what's changed?
10:35Just everything, innit?
10:37What he did.
10:39These true crime nutjobs turning up on my doorstep like I'm East London's answer to Lady Macbeth.
10:48Losing Martin.
10:50Now he's still.
10:54But it's not just the last few months, Stace.
10:59Billy.
11:01Grandad.
11:03Dot.
11:05Jamie.
11:06I think I'll be used to it by now.
11:10All that loss.
11:13But I don't know.
11:15It just feels different this time.
11:19Too many ghosts.
11:22You need to have a word with yourself, son.
11:27Like it or not, this is my lot.
11:30Kids, grandkid, mum, the business.
11:32I've got ties.
11:34I've got ties.
11:35I've got ties I can't cut.
11:38But you can escape.
11:40You can leave the ghosts behind.
11:43What if it goes wrong?
11:45What if he's another Rhys or worse?
11:48Spin him off.
11:50You'll come home and you leave him on the other side of the world.
11:52In my experience, you regret the things in life you didn't do.
11:58You're a good mate, Stace.
12:00I wish we'd been nicer to each other over the years.
12:03What is it you called me once?
12:06More unstable than a three-legged chair.
12:09I take that back.
12:14You're the strongest person I know.
12:17You'll get through this.
12:20You both will.
12:23First off, I'm so sorry.
12:31All guns blazing, that's my go-to.
12:33Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're all parents all in it together.
12:36The complaint? Any update?
12:39Listen, you'll get a written response, but no further action will be taken.
12:44Are you kidding me?
12:45Priya, don't you?
12:47Look, they're good officers.
12:49Carry nothing on their records to show any different.
12:51So what are we supposed to tell her?
12:53Just deal with it, move on.
12:55If you want to feel like you're doing something,
12:57then the complaint needs to come from her.
12:59All right? In her words.
13:01So she's going to re-live the whole thing, yeah?
13:03Like it wasn't humiliating enough the first time.
13:06Believe it. He doesn't have a clue.
13:12She's my little girl.
13:13I don't know what to do.
13:16Then it's got to be worth a go, yeah?
13:19Right?
13:22And she's not going to tell your mum?
13:24She said it's just between us.
13:26I told her I needed new clothes for the baby,
13:28and I didn't want to ask mum for the money.
13:30I just need to pay you back now.
13:32As if. I don't want your money.
13:34Look, Bailey and you are out of trouble.
13:36It's what big sisters are for.
13:39Right, I'd better go.
13:40I said I'd give mum a break from the screaming ball of flesh.
13:44It's what big sisters are for, yeah?
13:49Look, it does get better.
13:52Promise.
13:54I just don't want to forget him.
13:56As if you are ever going to forget Dad.
13:58Look, I won't let you for a start.
14:02Lily, if you ever need anything else,
14:06you only have to ask.
14:08OK?
14:09Hi.
14:11Oh, what's this? A welcoming committee?
14:15I forgot the red carpet.
14:17Hey, can you get the cab? I've only got you a roast.
14:19Yeah.
14:20Have a good time, mum?
14:21What, three weeks away from here, in the sunshine,
14:22drinking spicy margaritas?
14:23Yeah, you'd better have had a good time.
14:24Well, come on in. Get your mum's bags.
14:25Oh, I should go on the duty-free ones.
14:26Can't be a bit old to eat at Holland?
14:27Er, absolutely not.
14:28You've got aftershave chocolate and three bottles of a Rootoo.
14:29Mum, you're going to share the latter, mind?
14:30Well, come on boys.
14:31Kettle's on. Let's go.
14:32Go on there, muscles.
14:33Hey.
14:34What?
14:35What?
14:36What?
14:37What?
14:38What?
14:39What?
14:40What?
14:41What?
14:42What?
14:43What?
14:44What?
14:45What?
14:46What?
14:47What?
14:48What?
14:49What?
14:50What?
14:51What?
14:52What?
14:53What?
14:54Kettle's on.
14:55Let's go.
14:56Go on there, muscles.
14:57Hey, Jim's paying off, innit?
14:58Oh, shut up, Harry.
14:59Oh, the gym?
15:00Oh, God.
15:01You'll have him eating steamed chicken and broccoli next.
15:04As if I'd train with him.
15:05Nah, I'll go with Zach.
15:06He knows his stuff.
15:17Bit of fresh air, be good for you.
15:21Up the window.
15:22Well, er, we'll see if George is free, er, you know, go down for a sparring session.
15:27I said no.
15:31You were doing so well.
15:33I thought you'd turned a corner.
15:34Yes, I just, I just wanna, er, I just want a bit of time to myself.
15:38I just...
15:39I've still got half an ease to get through and...
15:43I'll just drop it here, yeah?
15:44I've gotta get to work.
15:45Er...
15:46See you later.
15:47Yeah.
15:48See you later.
15:49Sorry I'm late.
15:50I was, er, just catching up with Lily.
15:51Huh.
15:52Is that Uncle Billy?
15:53Oh, yeah.
15:54See you later.
15:59Sorry I'm late.
16:00I was, er, just catching up with Lily.
16:02Huh.
16:03Is that Uncle Billy?
16:05Mm.
16:08Another one she'll never get to meet.
16:12Come on.
16:13Out with it.
16:15Flicking through old photo albums hardly screams, I'm in a good place.
16:19You love it, don't you?
16:20Backpacking.
16:21Yeah.
16:22Yeah, best thing I've ever done.
16:23Why?
16:24Terry.
16:25He's asked me to go with him for a few months.
16:26You as well.
16:27Are you serious?
16:28Well, you hardly know him.
16:29I know, but he is still my dad, Bex.
16:30And what if it's fate?
16:31After everything that's happened, he shows up.
16:32Right place, right time.
16:33Both of my girls, together in bars.
16:34I know.
16:35I know.
16:36I know.
16:37I know.
16:38But he is still my dad, Bex.
16:39And what if it's fate?
16:40After everything that's happened, he shows up.
16:41Right place, right time.
16:42Both of my girls, together in bars.
16:43And what if it's fate?
16:44It's fate.
16:45And what if it's fate?
16:46No, no, no.
16:47No, no, no.
16:48No, no, no, no.
16:49I know nothing has happened.
16:50He shows up.
16:51Right place, right time.
16:52Both of my girls, together in Bali.
16:53Bali?
16:54Yeah.
16:55What's wrong with that?
16:56Best place I've ever been, by far.
16:57I was planning on going back.
16:58I've...
16:59Told you.
17:00Fate.
17:01And he's offered to cover all the costs.
17:04Just think about it.
17:06No more hostels.
17:07No more slamming it.
17:09And if things go wrong, you know, we can just go our own way.
