00:00MUSIC
00:25Oh, ta.
00:27I noticed Todd left early.
00:28Yeah, him and Sarah went to the cemetery.
00:3021 years today.
00:32Oh, yeah, of course.
00:37Mmm.
00:38It's cracking brew, that, mate.
00:40Seriously, it's a belter.
00:41Oh, thanks.
00:43It's about the only thing that my girlfriend liked about me in the end.
00:47At least you have that going for you.
00:49My tea-making skills are at best average.
00:51Oh, come on. It's not that bad.
00:54She doesn't want to marry me, Jase.
00:56It's hard to see an upside.
00:56Yeah, it was an emotional day,
00:58and Mum's not known for taking prisoners, is she?
01:02That is slander.
01:03I was just saying that you have a little bit of a temper sometimes.
01:05That was all.
01:06What are you on about?
01:07What are you on about?
01:08This poxy article in the Gazette that Tim sent me,
01:11it's character assassination.
01:15Oh, no.
01:16Oh, yes.
01:17What's so engrossing?
01:33Oh, nothing.
01:34It was Steve.
01:34He sent over one of them silly chicken dancing videos again.
01:37Oh, never mind that.
01:39Hey, do you see the article in the Gazette about Eileen and the shuttleworths?
01:42Yeah, sent it over.
01:44Can't get a break, that family, can they?
01:46No.
01:47Right, better get a wiggle on.
01:49See you later.
01:50Well, I hate to see you leave, but I'd love to watch you go.
01:51Oh, cheeky.
01:53Oh, Joanie left a sweatshirt here,
01:55so if you see a mum, would you let her know?
01:56Yeah, will do.
01:57Sal?
02:01Yeah?
02:03You were all right about having the kids the other day, weren't you?
02:06Yeah, I actually quite enjoyed it.
02:08Good, cos I've very...
02:09I'm just glad it was only for one night,
02:12cos I know you've mentioned fostering Tim,
02:14but honestly,
02:16at our stage of life,
02:17young people,
02:18they're like anchovy paste or jazz,
02:21can only be tolerated in small doses.
02:25Are you going to say something?
02:27What, no, nothing.
02:28It's not important.
02:29OK.
02:31I love you.
02:32I love you.
02:38They're saying I asked you to embalm the body
02:40so that mum could collect the insurance.
02:41Flipping heck.
02:43They might as well call us Birkin Air and be done.
02:46A couple of famous grave robbers.
02:48Yeah, well, it's definitely not a good look.
02:49Not a good look, Todd?
02:50I've seen businesses fold for less than this.
02:53It's only the Gazette.
02:54I don't care if it's only a fart in the wind.
02:56These things have an habit of snowballing.
02:58We've got to do damage control,
02:59but I'm starting by finding this anonymous source.
03:02Well, that's a doddle.
03:03Tracy MacDonald, she was gobbing off all afternoon.
03:06I don't know.
03:06It's not like she's got skin in the game.
03:08Plus, she's kind of a mate.
03:10Who you once said,
03:11and I quote,
03:12would eat her own young bones and all.
03:14Well, all right,
03:14it's not completely out of the question,
03:16but there were lots of people up that way.
03:17I, uh, sorry, I hope I'm not interrupting.
03:22No, no, you're fine.
03:23Come in, son.
03:24Just a bit of a PR problem.
03:27Look, I've got a meeting,
03:28so I don't want to be late,
03:29so we'll pick this up later on.
03:31And you're going to speak to Mum?
03:32No point.
03:34Sure did.
03:34You made her mind up.
03:35Well, then try and unmake it.
03:38Yeah, okay.
03:40First opportunity, I'll cholera.
03:42Can't hurt.
03:49Oh, are things with George and Eileen?
03:52Such and go by the sounds of it.
03:54To be honest, I'm more worried about Oz,
03:58if there even is an Oz after yesterday.
04:02You know I'm up for more work.
04:04First pays for the last one,
04:06and then we can have that conversation.
04:08All right, sounds good.
04:10Yeah, just text me where I went
04:11to meet.
04:12I'll see you later.
04:14Half day, is it?
04:15I'm like five minutes late.
04:16Just saying, organise your dating life
04:18in your own time.
04:20Dating life?
04:21Or whether you're meeting later.
04:23Oh, and that?
04:25Ah, she's...
04:25Don't save me the details.
04:26I'm just simply setting the ground rules.
04:28Well, I'm more for ground rules.
04:30Always helpful to know
04:31exactly where you stand.
04:32Morning.
04:33Morning.
04:34All right.
04:35Sorry, are you busy?
04:37Well, some of us are.
04:39Well, I'm after getting a new van.
04:40There's one on Stanley Street
04:41going cheap.
04:42Can you give it a once-over
04:43after work?
04:44Ah, actually, I've got plans
04:45for Kev later.
04:46Tomorrow, though.
04:47I'll do it.
04:49Are you even qualified?
04:51Don't worry.
04:52He knows enough.
04:53Excuse me.
04:54So, how about me and the shop
04:57around four?
04:58Yeah, great.
04:59I'll pay you for your time, of course.
05:01Oh, don't be daft.
05:02Just buy us a pint.
05:04Oh, careful.
05:05Might sound like you're asking me
05:06out on a date.
05:08Well, would that be such a bad thing?
05:10Well, don't expect me
05:11to make it easy for you.
05:12Nothing worthwhile ever is.
05:14Can't wait.
05:17What's going on there, then?
05:19What's it to you?
05:21Nothing.
05:22Well, why ask, then?
05:23I don't know.
05:25Of course I have it, I guess.
05:26I don't know about you.
05:27It's still a bit weird for me.
05:29It's called moving on, Steve.
05:32Yeah, look, I'm, er...
05:35You know, I'm not in denial
05:36or anything.
05:36It's just...
05:37It's what I know
05:39what happens next, you know?
05:41Well, divorce.
05:42What else is there?
05:43I shouldn't have stuck my oar in.
05:48Too right.
05:49I've got enough going on as it is.
05:50And I should have respected
05:51your feelings.
05:52Or just, you know,
05:53plain old listened.
05:55Yeah, that too.
05:57Although, I will say,
05:58in my defence,
05:59it came from a good place.
06:01Oh.
06:02I know, and that's, er...
06:04It's the only reason
06:05why I'm still here.
06:07Does that mean I'm forgiven?
06:10You are forgiven.
06:13I still think conversion therapy
06:15is a hate crime.
06:16I'll drop it.
06:19How'd it go with Sarah
06:20at the cemetery?
06:22You remembered?
06:23Of course.
06:26We were joking about
06:27what Billy'd be like at 21.
06:31In the end, we settled on
06:32Formula One driver
06:34or brain surgeon.
06:36Or both.
06:36Yeah.
06:43So, where did you end up
06:45sleeping last night?
06:46Oh, the van.
06:48Didn't get much kit.
06:49Not good for it.
06:50Just more than I can say
06:51for your flipper.
06:51What happened?
06:52Oh, this.
06:54Yeah, I, er...
06:55I slipped climbing a ladder.
06:56Caught it on a pig's ear.
06:57I swear you make
06:58these names up.
07:00No one's thinking
07:00that you were
07:00Mr Health and Safety.
07:02Well, you know,
07:03nobody's perfect.
07:03I saw the article
07:07in the Gazette.
07:07Seems like someone's
07:08got it in for you guys, eh?
07:09I mean, George reckons
07:10it's Tracy McDonald's
07:12handiwork.
07:12She can be vindictive enough
07:13when the mood takes her,
07:15but...
07:16I don't know.
07:17I've still never got any proof.
07:20Sorry.
07:23Oh, yeah.
07:24I'm gonna have to get
07:25back to site.
07:26Do you want to get
07:26a bit of lunch later?
07:28You know, I'd love to.
07:29But, er, meet Danielle.
07:31So, Millie's birthday next week.
07:33Oh, don't forget
07:33your crew's fixed.
07:35Funny.
07:36All right.
07:40Laters.
07:40Yeah.
07:41Laters.
07:50Afternoon.
07:51Hi.
07:53Look, before you
07:54got on your high horse,
07:55I didn't know
07:56that he was gonna
07:56plead not guilty.
07:58I haven't said anything.
07:59Yeah, but you were
08:00thinking it, though.
08:01You know, me and the kids
08:02were not to blame
08:02for what we did.
08:03No-one thinks that,
08:04I told you.
08:05Yeah, well,
08:06some of the looks
08:07the kids are getting
08:07would suggest otherwise.
08:09I actually feel sorry
08:10for you and your girls.
08:11But not Brodie.
08:14He's done his time.
08:15So's Dylan.
08:16He's out tomorrow.
08:18And your point is?
08:19Just keep your son
08:20away from my son.
08:22Or what?
08:23Mate, ease off, yeah?
08:25This is hard for her, as well.
08:27Sorry.
08:29Forget it.
08:29Well, I could have
08:35handled that better.
08:36Ah, you're worried
08:36about your lad.
08:37It's understandable.
08:38I mean, look at how we were
08:39when Mason got released.
08:40That's what you're saying.
08:41I shouldn't give Brodie
08:42a second thought.
08:43I mean, the kid's only
08:43been home two weeks.
08:44He's already a mini-crime wed.
08:45Oh, the lad's a nightmare,
08:46don't get me wrong.
08:48Yeah.
08:49A nightmare that my Dylan
08:50is gonna have to face
08:51in 24 hours' time.
08:52Hang on, so...
08:57You're saying I'm not
08:58invited to my own
08:59daughter's birthday party?
09:00If you're there,
09:01it'll become about us
09:02and I'm not having that.
09:03But it's my house and all, Danny.
09:04For the time being.
09:05If you wanna ruin
09:06Millie's special day,
09:07then knock yourself out.
09:14Tracey?
09:16As in,
09:17Tracey from the flower shop?
09:19Yeah.
09:20She did my mum's funeral.
09:21What about her?
09:23I didn't know you were friends.
09:25Well, I didn't know
09:25that you liked fellas,
09:26but, you know,
09:26every day's a school day.
09:28Anyway, what's it to you?
09:30Well, there's an article
09:31in the Weatherfield Gazette
09:34today.
09:35Oh, you know I don't
09:35do videos.
09:38Do you know anything
09:39about that?
09:41Well, that's hilarious.
09:43Yeah, but it's all lies.
09:45Well, you'd be the expert
09:46on that.
09:47Hang on.
09:51Do you think I've had
09:52something to do with that?
09:53I'm not going to ask you
09:53the question, did you?
09:54How would I?
09:55I know that stuff.
09:56Through Tracey.
09:58Then you might see it
09:58and there's another chance
09:59to have a dig at me.
10:00Another chance?
10:01Oh.
10:01Yeah, I know you're trying
10:02to poison the kids against me,
10:03Danny.
10:03If you actually think
10:05that I would exploit
10:05a dead woman's memory
10:06just to hurt you,
10:08well, then it's your mind
10:08that's poisonous.
10:09Um, sorry, I heard you
10:13talking about their story
10:14in the Gazette there.
10:16There's no way Tracey
10:17would have blabbed
10:17it's too much like hard work.
10:19And how would you know?
10:20Because he's her husband.
10:22Tune to be ex.
10:23Well, we've got
10:24something in common.
10:25I need the toilet.
10:26Please don't be here
10:26when I get back.
10:27Er, before you go,
10:33erm, I had a bloke
10:36in me cab yesterday.
10:37He'd been at Julie's wake.
10:39But he was very interested
10:41in George and Todd's involvement.
10:44At the wake?
10:48Was he, like, er,
10:50six foot tall?
10:51Great to share?
10:52That's the guy.
10:53Mind you, no.
10:54Yeah.
10:56Thanks.
11:16Oh, hiya, love.
11:17You all right, Glenda?
11:18Yeah, you okay?
11:19Yeah, a bit of a crazy morning.
11:20There's me thinking
11:21coming home.
11:22I was going to get
11:22a bit of peace and quiet.
11:23Yeah, about a chance of that.
11:25So, what takes your fancy?
11:27Er, I will have a pint
11:28when you ready, love.
11:30Plans for the rest of the day?
11:32Er, getting leathers
11:32on the agenda.
11:35Sign me up.
11:36Er, white wine
11:37when you get set, please.
11:38Don't care what type,
11:39as long as it's a large.
11:40Er, that sort of day, is it?
11:42That sort of year.
11:44That'll be 4.20, please.
11:45And, er, her wine.
11:47Oh, that's all right.
11:49No, please.
11:50Looks like you need a wine.
11:51Well, if you insist.
11:54So, er, so what's your sad story, then?
11:57Er, me ex, she, er,
11:59she made me homeless and be done.
12:00Ouch.
12:00Yeah.
12:01By video call,
12:02apparently a conversation
12:03would have been too triggering.
12:05Bottle job, in other words, then.
12:06That'll now be 10.20.
12:08Oof.
12:09You all right?
12:10Yeah.
12:10Just thinking.
12:11That would have got me
12:12a three-course meal
12:13and all my booze in Thailand.
12:14I suppose you am just visiting.
12:16I don't mind getting me own.
12:18No, it's OK.
12:18You can, er,
12:19you can get the next one.
12:21Can I now?
12:22Well,
12:22if you play your cards right,
12:23shall we?
12:24What, she really said the D word?
12:48Yep.
12:49Straight out.
12:50No messing.
12:51Both feet.
12:52Well.
12:55Mind you,
12:55I'm not being funny,
12:56but it's been on the cards
12:56for a while, hasn't it?
12:58I mean,
12:58you've both been with other people
12:59and that.
13:00Oh?
13:02So why are you sitting there
13:02looking like you've been
13:03whacked round the face
13:04with a wet kipper?
13:05Well, I don't know.
13:07I think it's because
13:08I heard the word out loud,
13:09you know?
13:09I mean,
13:10this will be the sixth time for me.
13:11What?
13:12Seventh.
13:12Really?
13:13Yeah.
13:14Oh.
13:15Seventh lucky number,
13:16isn't it?
13:16Well, I don't feel very lucky.
13:18I mean,
13:18what does that say about me?
13:20That you're a hopeless romantic.
13:21A hopeless husband?
13:23Well, I don't know
13:25what to tell you.
13:26Well, you can start by
13:26telling me the secret
13:27to a happy marriage.
13:29Oh.
13:30Sal and I have had
13:31our ups and downs.
13:31It's not all
13:32unicorns and rainbows.
13:34No, no.
13:34You know,
13:36we sometimes disagree.
13:38Sometimes go behind
13:39each other's backs.
13:40But not in a bad way.
13:41All right, yeah,
13:42I get it.
13:44You're still together,
13:45though, aren't you?
13:46You're still solid.
13:47You're still in love.
13:48Hmm.
13:49I'm sorry.
13:50Look,
13:50I think all I'm trying to say
13:52is that, you know,
13:52sometimes I envy you.
13:57Do you want a biscuit?
13:58Yeah,
13:58I'd love a biscuit.
14:00There you go.
14:00Biscuits make it better.
14:03Yeah,
14:03of course they do.
14:09Uh,
14:10three-quarter.
14:12What's the magic word?
14:13Now.
14:20Thanks, Val.
14:21There we go.
14:29Right,
14:29that's when you're done.
14:31You can finish off.
14:33Wow.
14:33I take that as a compliment.
14:35Don't let it go to your head.
14:36Trust me,
14:37no chance of that.
14:39So,
14:40er,
14:41what time is this
14:42thing with Trace later?
14:44After work.
14:46Hmm.
14:46You know she likes you,
14:47don't you?
14:48Well,
14:48she's not made of wood,
14:48is she?
14:49Look,
14:49all I'm saying is
14:50if it's awkward,
14:51I can go and see
14:52that van with her.
14:53Nah,
14:53you get one to Kev.
14:55Sure?
14:56Sure.
14:57I'm the one
14:58without a life,
14:59remember?
15:00Oh,
15:00sorry,
15:00I didn't quite catch that.
15:01Your voice was drowned out
15:02by the...
15:02Let me guess,
15:03the world's smallest violin.
15:05Oh.
15:06I hate being predictable.
15:10You
15:10are a lot of things at me,
15:12but
15:12predictable's not one of them.
15:16I'll take that
15:17as a compliment.
15:18Well,
15:18don't let it go
15:18to your head.
15:19Mm-mm.
15:21Is that her?
15:28Her?
15:29Who are you meeting later?
15:32I thought you didn't want details.
15:35You don't get to be jealous.
15:39Just make sure you lock up properly.
15:41Well,
15:47you don't seem too cut up about her.
15:49Maybe I'm crying inside.
15:51Or maybe just full of it.
15:53Fine,
15:53I'm relieved,
15:54truth be told.
15:55Does that make me a horrible person?
15:56No.
15:57Makes you honest.
15:59So,
15:59is there anything you do,
16:00miss,
16:00about her?
16:01Do you know what?
16:02Don't answer that.
16:05You got any kids?
16:06No,
16:06not for me.
16:07What about you?
16:08Two,
16:0914 and 16.
16:10But no fella.
16:12It's complicated.
16:13It's not over.
16:15It's complicated.
16:17Yeah,
16:17here we are.
16:18Well,
16:18I'm not doing anything wrong.
16:20Not so far,
16:21anyway.
16:22Wow,
16:22you really fancy yourself,
16:24don't you?
16:24Do you know how Todd,
16:26my brother,
16:26says if I were chocolate,
16:27I'd eat myself?
16:29His name's Todd?
16:30Yeah,
16:30why?
16:31I was,
16:32er,
16:32I was going to call my son that.
16:34Well,
16:34you've dodged a bullet,
16:35because too many things rhyme with Todd.
16:39Your shout.
16:40Look,
16:41if you want to shoot,
16:42then I totally understand.
16:43Joking aside,
16:44I get complicated.
16:48Well,
16:49maybe I could do with a little bit simple in my life.
16:51Well,
16:52if you're looking for simple,
16:53you come to the right guy.
16:57Cheers.
17:13Sorry,
17:14I forgot my keys.
17:15Well,
17:16you're,
17:16you're back early,
17:17huh?
17:17Well,
17:17I just popped back to get some kombucha,
17:19because Carla's asked me to do overtime,
17:21so I need a bit of an energy kick.
17:22Have you been cleaning?
17:24Er,
17:24yeah,
17:24I gave it all a bit of a,
17:25a once-over.
17:26Oh.
17:28You've got your nice shirt on.
17:30Is it?
17:31Yeah,
17:31and your best slacks.
17:33In other words,
17:34you're hoping to get lucky outfit.
17:35You care to explain?
17:36Um,
17:37I didn't know you were doing overtime.
17:40This is all a rather obvious attempt to get me frisky.
17:44Sally.
17:45Well,
17:46say no more mission accomplished,
17:47but we'll have to be quick.
17:48Look,
17:48are you expecting company?
17:52Oh,
17:58hello.
17:58Hello,
17:59I'm Louise,
18:00from Weatherfield Social Services.
18:02Um,
18:02come in.
18:04I understood you wouldn't be joining us today.
18:06Yeah,
18:07well,
18:08there's been a little mix-up in communications,
18:11because Tim can be rather scatterbrained sometimes,
18:14can't you,
18:14darling?
18:15Yeah.
18:16Shall I take your coat?
18:16You have to get back to work,
18:21love.
18:22No,
18:22Carla will understand.
18:23I mean,
18:23this is a very important meeting,
18:25after all.
18:26Oh,
18:26it's really just a preliminary chat.
18:28Yeah.
18:28Well,
18:28I wouldn't miss it for the world.
18:40How's your brew?
18:43Fine.
18:44Another big key.
18:49Steve,
18:50it's forgotten.
18:52How were you to know that Noah had it in for our Todd?
18:55Well,
18:55it's still the last thing you need.
18:58Do you want to talk about it?
18:59No,
19:00I'm fine.
19:00Well,
19:00maybe you should just listen.
19:02Look,
19:02if this is about me and Joel...
19:04I just don't want you to make any rash decisions,
19:06you know,
19:06just give yourself a bit of breathing space.
19:08What part of the word no do you not understand?
19:10Well,
19:10he's a top bloke.
19:12That's not the issue,
19:14Steve.
19:15I know you mean well,
19:16but it's,
19:16it's a lot more involved than that.
19:19Yeah,
19:19maybe you're right.
19:21Or maybe the word involved sounds better than the word difficult.
19:26Are you saying I'm copping out?
19:28No,
19:28look,
19:28I'm just saying,
19:29as a mate,
19:30who very rarely put the work in,
19:33you need to be sure.
19:35Don't end up like me,
19:36Eileen.
19:36Afternoon.
19:49What are you doing here?
19:50I was in the area.
19:51Thought I'd drop by.
19:53Don't worry.
19:54I wasn't followed.
19:55I just think we should be careful.
19:56Do you want your money or not?
19:58There's a grand in there.
19:59I thought you said 800.
20:03Call it profit sharing.
20:05I won't be offended if you want to count it.
20:08No,
20:08I trust you.
20:09So,
20:10when do you think you need my services again?
20:11How does end of the week sound?
20:14Yeah,
20:14it's doable.
20:15Don't need to square it with anyone.
20:17No.
20:18Perks of being the boss.
20:19This could be a relationship made in heaven.
20:22He is hoping.
20:23I haven't forgotten about you.
20:26Just as soon as I'm done here.
20:28Yeah,
20:28don't worry.
20:28It can wait.
20:30I can see you're busy.
20:34Girlfriend?
20:35Neighbour.
20:36She's got the hots for you.
20:37I hadn't noticed.
20:39Yeah,
20:40right.
20:40It's a good job you fake MOTs
20:42better than your fib.
20:44I'll be in touch.
20:46Look forward to him.
20:53Hiya.
20:59Hiya.
21:00Thanks for coming.
21:02I didn't know when we get the chance
21:03to be on our own.
21:04Yeah,
21:05I'm glad you called.
21:07Do you prefer to go first
21:09or shall I?
21:13You did.
21:15You know how much I had?
21:16I had a...
21:17For the last time,
21:18he's not worth it.
21:19Oh,
21:19you're here.
21:20We know who's supposed to think he's out.
21:22Mm-hmm.
21:23Wasn't nosy Noah from the church
21:25by any chance.
21:27Yeah,
21:28how did you find out?
21:29Well,
21:29Steve fessed up.
21:30What I don't understand
21:31is why.
21:33Meaning of history,
21:34so...
21:34And at the wake,
21:35I was mouthing off
21:36and he,
21:36uh...
21:37Took umbrage.
21:38No,
21:39I'm so sorry.
21:40I never thought he'd pull a stunt like this.
21:42It's not...
21:43Total lowlife.
21:45Well,
21:45you better not be talking about me.
21:48Surprise.
21:50You...
21:50You know each other?
21:51She's his wife.
21:58Oh...
21:59I told you,
22:13it was complicated.
22:14Look,
22:14I swear to you,
22:15I didn't know who she was.
22:16But I'm guessing you knew exactly who he was.
22:20I had an inkling,
22:21yeah.
22:21Oh,
22:21she did it to get back at me.
22:23Embedded a real man in the process.
22:25Two birds,
22:26one bonk.
22:26OK,
22:27I think you'd better leave.
22:28Well,
22:28it looks like I've outstayed me welcome.
22:30I had fun.
22:31I mean,
22:31the plushies in the giant Ben Shepard poster,
22:33that were definitely weird.
22:35You used Mary's room?
22:36It was either that or yours,
22:37ma'am.
22:39Get out!
22:40Gladly.
22:41Just the sight of you makes me sick.
22:42Leave!
22:43All right,
22:43keep your wig on.
22:44See you,
22:45lover.
22:46Sucks to be humiliated,
22:47doesn't it?
22:53Well,
22:54that was a turn up for the books.
22:56Five minutes,
22:57you've been home.
22:58Five minutes,
22:58you're causing chaos.
22:59Oh,
22:59come on,
23:00Todd,
23:00I didn't do it on purpose.
23:01Oh,
23:01she just accidentally seduced her.
23:04She seduced me?
23:05Seriously,
23:05guys,
23:05it was on a plate.
23:06You could have said no.
23:07Yeah,
23:07well,
23:07I had a couple of bevvies
23:08and I was a bit jet lagged.
23:10Oh,
23:10you just couldn't help yourself?
23:11It's like trying to explain algebra
23:12to a grapefruit.
23:13Hey,
23:14I'm not the one who stole her husband.
23:15I'm sorry.
23:16Right enough.
23:17You get upstairs
23:18and clean up after yourself
23:20and make sure you strip Mary's bed.
23:21Well,
23:22what do I do with it after,
23:22ma'am?
23:23Burn it!
23:24Wash it!
23:24I don't care.
23:25Just get it done.
23:28Right.
23:30Ow!
23:37I can't...
23:39You had no right
23:40to involve Todd's family like that.
23:41But you had a right
23:42to destroy ours, eh?
23:43Look,
23:43I never meant for any of this to happen.
23:46Well,
23:46I definitely meant for that to happen.
23:50Look,
23:51Danny.
23:54Please,
23:54for the sake of our kids.
23:57Okay?
23:57No!
23:58Please!
23:59We have to find some kind of understanding.
24:01Please,
24:02Danny.
24:06Take off your wedding ring.
24:08What?
24:09Right now.
24:14Danny,
24:14no.
24:15Come on.
24:30Danny,
24:31no.
24:31now we have an understanding.
24:36Oh,
24:37well,
24:38bottom line is,
24:49every child's different
24:50and comes with their own unique range of challenges.
24:53Yeah,
24:53well,
24:53there's plenty of adults
24:55who have their own unique challenges as well.
24:58Indeed.
24:59And because of this,
25:01fosterers need certain qualities.
25:03Such as?
25:04Well,
25:05for starters,
25:06empathy is vital.
25:08That's the ability to understand other people's feelings.
25:13Yeah,
25:13I know that.
25:13And I also read that open-mindedness
25:17and lots and lots of patience is important as well.
25:20Extremely so.
25:21And what about honesty?
25:23Oh,
25:23honesty and trust are key.
25:25Without those,
25:26you've nothing to build on.
25:27Fostering can seem daunting
25:29and I know I'm biased,
25:31but helping to shape
25:32or reshape a young person's life
25:35is the most rewarding thing imaginable.
25:37I feel the same.
25:39Well,
25:39Louise,
25:40we've taken up enough of your valuable time.
25:42Likewise.
25:43Well,
25:43it was wonderful meeting you both
25:45and,
25:45er,
25:46when you're ready to take the next step,
25:47yeah,
25:47we'll be in touch.
25:48Yeah.
25:48Smashing.
25:49I'll see myself out.
25:51Bye for now.
25:52Bye.
25:52Take care of yourself.
25:53Bye-bye.
25:58Thanks for not throwing me under the bus.
26:00I need to get back to work.
26:02Well,
26:02don't we need to talk?
26:03Talk?
26:04I can't even look at you at the moment,
26:06Tim.
26:08It just makes me so angry.
26:20Well,
26:20just keep a lid on it.
26:21Oh,
26:21because Jason can do no wrong.
26:23No,
26:23because your temper
26:24has caused enough problems for one day.
26:26Thanks very much.
26:27Is this about the article?
26:28Well,
26:28it's a problem I could have done without.
26:30How was I supposed to know
26:31what Noah was going to do?
26:32Ah,
26:32Jason could say the same thing about Danielle.
26:34Your mum's right.
26:35Jason was just collateral damage.
26:37I give up.
26:39I don't know about you,
26:40but I could do with a drink.
26:42Yeah,
26:42thought you'd never ask.
26:43Shift.
26:43I don't care what mum says,
26:52all right?
26:53What Jase did was...
26:54Look,
26:54can we just not talk about it,
26:56Todd?
26:56It was out of order.
26:57Look,
26:57what part of can we not talk about it?
26:58Do you not understand?
27:03You'll be home tomorrow?
27:05Yeah,
27:05which is why I don't understand
27:06why you're visiting you today.
27:08Because I think we need to work out a strategy.
27:10For what?
27:14Dealing with Brody.
27:17I think you should go and stay
27:19with your mum in London for a bit.
27:20I'm not running away from this.
27:22Dylan?
27:23Well,
27:23it shows weakness.
27:24There is nothing weak
27:25about avoiding trouble.
27:27Don't be any trouble.
27:28Well,
27:29you've already been in one fight.
27:30Well,
27:31I barely hit him
27:32and it was ages ago.
27:33And he might still hold a grudge.
27:34And if he does,
27:35I'll sort it.
27:36How?
27:36By beating him up?
27:37By having a discussion.
27:39What if he doesn't want a discussion?
27:41What if
27:42he takes after his
27:43psycho cop-killing father?
27:44Right,
27:44Dad,
27:45you need to chill out.
27:46How can you be so calm?
27:48Because that's the only thing
27:49that's going to get me free.
27:50And I'm not coming back in here.
27:52No chance.
28:05Todd.
28:07Do you want me
28:09to leave you alone?
28:11No,
28:11you're all right.
28:22How did you leave things
28:23with Danielle?
28:25Not great.
28:28You know what she said about you?
28:29It was out of order.
28:31Doesn't mean she's wrong,
28:32though,
28:33does it?
28:33Just because you're gay
28:34does not mean that you're...
28:35It's not about me sexuality,
28:37though,
28:38is it?
28:38You know,
28:38like,
28:40a real man doesn't lie
28:41and cheat in the way I did.
28:43But lying to yourself
28:43is okay?
28:46It's not that black and white,
28:47is it?
28:49I want more reason to
28:51know where you stand
28:53with each other.
28:56Made me take it off.
28:58Tossed it right in front of me.
28:59I think you expected
29:01to keep it.
29:04Feels like you're gloating.
29:06I'm not gloating,
29:07I'm just...
29:08relieved.
29:12If me weren't,
29:13it bothered you so much.
29:14Why didn't you say anything?
29:15Just wanted you to get there
29:17for yourself,
29:17I suppose.
29:18Plus,
29:19I never knew how to
29:20bring it up.
29:20Well,
29:25it's gone there
29:26forever.
29:29Maybe that's a good thing.
29:33Maybe a brother
29:34to thank for that.
29:36Don't go that far.
29:42Oh, yeah.
29:43And also,
29:43a lot of the old customers
29:44have been getting in touch
29:45to send the support,
29:46so
29:46I think
29:48we're going to
29:49ride out of a storm.
29:50Finally,
29:51something positive.
29:52Yeah.
29:52Truth be told,
29:53I thought you'd be
29:54a little bit more
29:54annoyed with Todd.
29:55Yeah.
29:56Well,
29:56sticking the boot in now
29:57ain't going to change
29:58anything, is it?
29:59Yeah, I suppose.
30:00And also,
30:01after Jason's shenanigans,
30:02I'm not sure
30:03he'd appreciate a rollicking.
30:05Do you know,
30:05I've not seen him
30:06that angry in a long time.
30:07Oh,
30:07they have a way
30:08of pushing each other's buttons.
30:10They always have.
30:10Yeah.
30:12How are you two
30:13doing for drinks?
30:14Yeah, I'm all right.
30:15Thanks, love.
30:15Yeah, fine.
30:16Hey,
30:17just between us,
30:19your Jason wasn't earlier,
30:20chatting up this last,
30:21laying it on
30:21where the trowel he was.
30:22Oh, yeah, we know.
30:24What I told you.
30:24Hmm.
30:25Brought her back to the house.
30:27No.
30:30Julie christened
30:31Mary's bed.
30:32Never.
30:33No, it gets worse.
30:35You got him
30:35in a flagrante?
30:36No, thankfully not.
30:37It turns out
30:38the woman in question
30:39is Theo's estranged wife,
30:41so that's a tad awkward.
30:42No.
30:43Yeah,
30:43so she used Jason
30:44to get back at him.
30:46Hmm.
30:46Well, let's face it,
30:47he's not the sharpest tool
30:48in the box.
30:48Oh, the brazen,
30:49I'll say.
30:50I thought she seemed
30:51a bit keen.
30:52Yeah, so you can imagine
30:53things are a little bit
30:54delicate on the home front.
30:55Yeah,
30:56I can imagine.
30:57And how are you two doing?
31:01Muddling along.
31:04And yesterday?
31:05Oh, it's fine.
31:07I'd better go.
31:09Anyway, look,
31:09it makes me happy.
31:11You told me worried there.
31:17She's not the only one
31:18that was worried.
31:18I'm going to tell her.
31:19I don't want to make it
31:31to a birthday party.
31:33What happened, mate?
31:35Oh, look,
31:36let's forget about it here.
31:37Look,
31:37if I had known
31:37it was your missus,
31:38I wouldn't...
31:38Jason said forget it.
31:40And us?
31:40Are we moving on?
31:42No,
31:42thought not.
31:43Let it go.
31:44Oh, it's not his style, that.
31:45You need to start
31:46owning stuff.
31:46Oh, here we go.
31:47You made an already
31:48bad situation even worse
31:49all because you couldn't
31:50keep it in your pants.
31:51He weren't to know it.
31:52That wouldn't have
31:52stopped him even if he did.
31:54Now he's had the big
31:54on impulse control
31:55as had Jason.
31:56Oh, and you're so perfect,
31:57are you?
31:58You know,
31:58you need to argue
31:58your back of your head
31:59with this one.
32:00At least I'm not a screw-up.
32:01Remind me again
32:02why your girlfriend
32:02P-45'd you?
32:03What'd you just say?
32:04You hurt me.
32:05It's like the family joke.
32:06You're the family curse.
32:07Hey, look,
32:07let's leave it, eh?
32:09Jase.
32:14I see why you two
32:29are brothers.
32:30I have nothing like him.
32:31No?
32:32I told you to stay away
32:33from Noah.
32:34You ignore me.
32:34End up in Gazette.
32:35So that was on you?
32:37Nice one.
32:37You're no better.
32:38I mean, forget that
32:39Danielle's my missus
32:40for a moment.
32:41Did you ever stop to think
32:42why this beautiful woman
32:43would come back
32:43to your mum's house
32:44on a Monday afternoon?
32:47You two.
32:49You don't think
32:49of the consequences,
32:50do you?
32:52It's Millie.
32:53Now, can I take this
32:54or do I need to strap
32:55you two down first?
32:57No, you're all right.
32:57Best behaviour, promise.
32:59Right.
33:01Hello, sweetheart.
33:02Yeah.
33:03He's actually all right,
33:04isn't he?
33:05I'm glad you approve.
33:06No, I mean it.
33:09Thanks.
33:11I mean, he's got
33:12some serious baggage
33:13in, hasn't he?
33:14No more than the rest of us.
33:16True.
33:19It was hard on you before.
33:22Theo was right.
33:23I wasn't thinking,
33:24I needed distraction,
33:25and she was there.
33:26Sounds familiar.
33:27But he's also spot on
33:28when he says,
33:29you're no better than me.
33:30I've never thought that.
33:31Not for a second.
33:33I know my failings.
33:34And I also know that the worst
33:37of them involve you, Jase.
33:38So what are you saying?
33:39I'm saying,
33:40the sooner you go back to Thailand,
33:42the better I'll be for everyone.
33:43Including you.
33:44I know that things haven't been right
33:50for a while,
33:50but that doesn't mean to say
33:51they can't get better.
33:53George.
33:53No, please,
33:55let me finish, love.
33:56All I want is for you
33:59to be part of my life
34:00and for me to be part of yours.
34:02Now, whatever shape that takes,
34:04so be it.
34:07George, whatever you want,
34:09I want the same.
34:12Do you mean it?
34:14Absolutely.
34:16But about getting hitched...
34:17No, no, Eileen.
34:19We do not have to get married.
34:20Not now, not ever.
34:22Let's just enjoy the now.
34:25Yeah, that works for me.
34:27Yeah?
34:27I said I'd buy you a drink
34:31and you're having one.
34:33All right, but can't stay too long.
34:35Play nice, Tracey.
34:38What's all that about?
34:39Oh, don't worry about it.
34:40Right, what are you two having?
34:41I'll have a glass of red wine and...
34:43Half a bit of, please.
34:47So, have you got a hot date
34:48with Miss Shoulderpads?
34:50Miss Shoulderpads?
34:51The woman I saw you buttering up earlier.
34:55Oh, no, she's...
34:57She's just a potential customer.
34:59Oh, so why the early dart?
35:01I'm just tired is all.
35:03Well, you would be, wouldn't you?
35:05What with owning and running Kevin's business.
35:08Do you make a habit of lying to potential customers?
35:11Not usually.
35:12Okay.
35:12I'll admit, I was trying to impress her.
35:19That's kind of sad.
35:20Well, I am kind of single.
35:22And I'm not out of practice.
35:25You won't tell Kevra Abbey, will you?
35:28Well, that depends whether you still want that half a biter.
35:32Actually, may that a pint, please?
35:33Yeah.
35:35That was also kind of sad.
35:36Hi, love.
35:52What would you like for your tea?
35:56Sally, please say something.
35:58I'm tired.
35:59My back's killing me and I just want a hot bath.
36:01I know you're angry, I get that.
36:03And I know that you think I betrayed you.
36:05No, Tim.
36:06You betrayed us.
36:08And to top it off, you humiliated me in the process.
36:13Well, I still had to try and explain.
36:17This is nice, isn't it?
36:18Having the house to ourselves.
36:21It's not bad, is it?
36:22Well, you know I think you're beautiful, but...
36:30With the chemo...
36:31Oh, I wasn't trying it on, I was just being affectionate.
36:34No, cos I really, really want to.
36:37Well, so do I.
36:39Do you really think I'm beautiful?
36:42You're the most beautiful woman ever.
36:44To wear overalls.
36:48Right, I'll go and make myself look decent.
36:50Well, are you sure you don't just want to curl up and watch a boxer?
36:53Oh, we said we'd do something.
36:55Yeah, I know, but we've got an empty house.
36:58Snacks.
36:59Can't we do both?
37:01Yeah, I suppose.
37:03It'll be family-free, I promise you.
37:06Well, as long as we get to spend some quality time together,
37:09I don't care where we are.
37:09How on earth did you expect to get away with it?
37:29Well, I wasn't trying to get away with anything.
37:31Then why the secret rendezvous?
37:32I just wanted a bit more information before I spoke to you again, that's all.
37:38But I thought I'd made myself perfectly clear on the subject.
37:42You did.
37:43You were.
37:44Well, then I'm confused.
37:47Well, I just saw how brilliant you were with loose kids and...
37:50And?
37:53And there are so many other young people out there
37:56that could do with that kind of love and support.
38:00Like Mason, you mean?
38:03I know a part of you feels like you let him down.
38:06Don't deny it.
38:09I just want to make a difference, that's all.
38:11Well, there's other ways of doing that.
38:13Not like fostering.
38:14Even if I was ready for such a life-changing level of responsibility,
38:19which I'm not,
38:20as a couple, it's a non-starter.
38:23Hang on.
38:25I'd have you back 100%.
38:26Like you did earlier.
38:34Hey.
38:35How'd it go with Dylan?
38:36In a word, strange.
38:39Strange?
38:40Yeah, it was just a bit odd.
38:42See, he was completely zen about Brody.
38:44It was like he didn't give a monkey's,
38:45but I'm sure it's just a phase.
38:47I've just never seen him like that, so...
38:50Should I be worried?
38:51No, no.
38:52You don't sound certain?
38:54It's not that.
38:55What is it, then?
38:56Look, speaking from experience,
38:58it might not just be a phase.
39:00What do you mean?
39:01What do you mean?
39:01I look like Dylan's changed.
39:03I'm saying he would have had to, mate.
39:06Ready for round two?
39:07I don't want to hear, bro.
39:08Good.
39:09Because I've had enough of that to last me a lifetime.
39:10I don't want to have boys in the same vicinity
39:13any more than you do.
39:14Right, well, we agree on one thing, then, don't we?
39:16And you both want them to stay out of trouble?
39:17More than anything.
39:18That's all I've ever wanted.
39:20Then there's two things in common.
39:28So, I'm with Ashley, Larry.
39:31Don't look so worried.
39:32We won't have to join them.
39:34Here you go.
39:35Thanks, love.
39:36I'm not surprised she's not we had a flipping lamp, yeah.
39:40Whose side are you on?
39:41Sally's, obviously.
39:43I mean, you've acted like a complete idiot.
39:45Sit on the fence, why don't you?
39:47Hey, you're sneaking a pair of vintage Adidas sandbirds
39:50or an angle grinder you're never going to use.
39:52Not a flipping foster child.
39:53It was the start of the process.
39:55That makes it even more nonsensical.
39:57If I don't want another earboss, you'll never stay at home.
40:00Hmm.
40:01Sorry, it's just...
40:03Just what?
40:05Well, first Eileen, now you.
40:07Now me what?
40:08I instructed the solicitor to get the ball rolling on the divorce.
40:11I just don't want that for you and Sally.
40:13See, if we're no one here now,
40:15we're not even in the same universe.
40:17Well, until you are, take it from a seven-time loser,
40:19sometimes all it takes is one screw-up.
40:22Right, that's it.
40:23I'm off.
40:24So soon?
40:25Hmm.
40:26My turn to cook the tea.
40:28Oh, you like cooking, do you?
40:30No, just making people suffer.
40:36Night, then.
40:38Is that it?
40:39You're not even going to beg for my number?
40:41Nah.
40:41Gives me an excuse to see it in the flesh.
40:43Well, you'd have to take me out for dinner first.
40:46Night, then.
40:47Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
40:49I'm guessing that gives me plenty of wiggle room.
40:51Huh.
40:58Room for a little one?
41:01For a bit, yeah.
41:02Abby wants a bit of hubby time.
41:04Don't listen to him.
41:06So?
41:07You and Tracy, ain't it?
41:09Oh, just, er...
41:10Just shooting the breeze.
41:11And I fell off the back of a turnit wagon.
41:16Right, I'm going to pay the water bill.
41:18Put him straight, won't you?
41:19Yeah.
41:19Put me straight about what?
41:26Tracy can be high maintenance.
41:29I thought you two were mates.
41:31Yeah, we are, which is why I'm being polite.
41:34No, no, it's a good job there's nothing going on.
41:36Well, it's not skin off mine, but just so you know,
41:38she has this on-off thing with an ex-footballer called Tommy Hopenton.
41:43Yeah, she mentioned it.
41:44Then it's over.
41:46Whatever.
41:47It's your funeral.
41:47Well, you're up late.
41:58Couldn't sleep.
42:04Me and, er, Todd got into it earlier and Theo had to break you up.
42:08Hmm? What's new, then?
42:09Ah, he doesn't want me here, does he, Mum?
42:11You don't want to be here. At least you agree on some of it.
42:15Did you and George sort things out?
42:16Do you see him kipping down here with you?
42:18That's not what I asked, is it, Mum?
42:20We're fine. Honest.
42:22Okay.
42:25So, what's your plans?
42:27I'll be out of your hair in a few days.
42:29Oh, you're going to let Todd chase you away?
42:31No, I just...
42:33I need to get back to Thailand as soon as possible.
42:35How come?
42:36Lindsay.
42:37She wants to sell the bar.
42:38Well, where does that leave you?
42:42Unemployed, homeless, unless I can raise 40 grand.
42:45I'm guessing that's unlikely.
42:46Try impossible.
42:48Oh, Lord.
42:49What are you going to do?
42:52Ask her to change her mind, and if that doesn't work, then think of another option.
42:56Borrow, steal, I don't know.
43:00Well, there's always Julie's life insurance sitting there.
43:03Mum, I'm not coming here for the handout.
43:05Good, because it'll be alone, with interest.
43:09Why don't you, um...
43:11Why don't you come in as my business partner?
43:12Chase, you can't run a bar from 6,000 miles away.
43:16No, I mean...
43:18move to Thailand with me.
43:20Are you being serious?
43:21I'm being deadly serious.
43:22Man, we both need a break.
43:24Well, in case you hadn't noticed, I have a life here.
43:26Yeah, and it's making you unhappy.
43:28And you came to that earth-shattering conclusion in less than 24 hours?
43:32I worked it out in the first five minutes of being here.
43:35You can do better than fine.
43:38Mum, just think about it.
43:39OK?
43:40OK?
43:40OK.
43:41OK.
43:42OK.
43:43OK.
