01:12He's barefoot and you look sharp
01:16He got a calendar on his phone over the weekend reminded him that his wife had died
01:20Not the one in Scotland no nice his first wife Debbie she's been dead 30 years, but it shook him up, you know
01:29Remembering it all over again like
01:31Like it only just happened
01:33Yeah
01:35I can't leave my life alone. Yeah, I better get back for the boys. They've gone feral since Elvie's been away. Where's he gone?
01:42Australia don't ask
01:44Oh my god, well, the honeymoon period didn't last long did it? You always did know what to say to a girl didn't you Phil?
01:58Morning boys
02:00Someone rub a lamp? Oh, you wish is my command Ted
02:05I got a wish. I wish someone would wall up the door down to that basement
02:09Well, I take it. No one's gonna compliment me on my new hairdo then. I know it looks good mum
02:18Thanks, Vaughan. Now, what's this message from the school about?
02:22What message?
02:24Check your phone
02:25Had a year called once it's in for a meeting. What's it about?
02:28I don't know. We must have some ideas son
02:32Well, guess we'll find out soon enough. They want us there at two
02:35Us? No, I'm sure you've got other things to do
02:45What do you want? I wondered if I could see Linda
02:49Linda why? I feel bad, you know
02:52All this what's happened between us has put her under a lot of pressure and so I just just wanted to talk to her
02:58She's fine. I just want to talk to her then text her
03:02You're not welcome in my pub. I sunk thousands of pounds into this place. Remember we both did
03:06And if you think you're getting your money back think again the money is in this pub and it's staying in this pub
03:15All this anger and all this hate is this really what you want
03:20It's what you left me with
03:27It's okay. Come on. Come on
03:40It's all right
03:44Ah, the hunter gatherer returns
03:48And?
03:49Bay leaves
03:50Yeah
03:50Ooh fancy
03:52Yeah, the recipe said
03:53Bay leaves so I got you bay leaves
03:56Next level cottage pie
03:59What?
03:59Well, next level suggests that you've mastered the level before, isn't it?
04:04Bit cory this morning
04:06Yeah, well, I got all my misery out of the way on the weekend, didn't I?
04:10I didn't expect the anniversary it hit me so hard came out of nowhere really so long ago, but
04:16Anyway, I want to thank you for helping me get through it
04:19We don't have to hide her away, but she was important to you, weren't she?
04:26Why don't you stick her on the fridge? Yeah
04:28Stick them all on the fridge, you know the people that you cared about wives, girlfriends, whatever
04:33You'd need a bigger fridge
04:34Dream on, Casanova
04:44You okay?
04:45Hey
04:46Yeah
04:47Yeah
04:47Yeah
04:48So who's that?
04:49Oh, George just asking me if I want to see him down at the gym later on
04:53Where's that go?
04:55Go do you good
04:56No, I'll be fine here
04:59Oh, yes
05:01Me and Grow snuck out to see them at the 100 Club, you know
05:05Grant knit your ID to get in, did you know that?
05:08Oh, no, I didn't know that
05:09Yeah, we got smashed on the snake bike, Grant picked a fight with a couple of mods, and we missed the last bus home
05:17What a great night
05:19In the city that we've seen, we've seen, we've seen, I don't know the words
05:23Ha ha ha
05:23Gush, yes
05:25Yes
05:26Yes
05:26Yes
05:27Yes
05:27Yes
05:28Yes
05:29Yes
05:29Yes
05:30Yes
05:30Yes
05:31Yes
05:31Yes
05:32Yes
05:32Yes
05:34Oh
05:35Ah
05:36Ah
05:36What?
05:37Honey?
05:37What?
05:41Honey?
05:43Oh, glad it ain't me.
05:46Seem a bit stressed.
05:49It's a bit rich, isn't it?
05:51Conceding you're the one who's caused this trouble in the first place.
05:55Do you know what? It helps you sleep better.
05:58You keep thinking of it.
06:00Well, to be honest, I ain't sleeping that well.
06:04Yeah, the mattress in Kojo's flats a bit.
06:06Yeah, I've seen better days.
06:07If Elaine gets away, I'll be keeping on it for a long time, yeah.
06:13And what she said?
06:17What she said, any money that's in the village,
06:21stays in the bank.
06:23Yeah, well, I guess I weren't inheriting nothing from you anyhow.
06:26Oh, you think this is funny?
06:28I think it's funny you're surprised.
06:30I mean, this is what happens.
06:32Everyone says they're gonna be reasonable.
06:34Nobody ever is.
06:36You got Myra a cheat, though.
06:37I mean, she cheats and you're the one left in nothing.
06:39Come on, it's not that straightforward.
06:41It's exactly that straightforward.
06:43If you're married and you cheat, you broke a contract.
06:46Oh, you did.
06:48Yeah.
06:49You know, I lost a lot, remember?
06:51But you're gonna have to lose anything if you play this right.
06:55You want to sell a bit?
06:57Fine.
06:58You take it.
07:02Or stay at Kojo's until the next council flat comes up in, what, 20 years?
07:15Don't you worry, Trace, all right?
07:17It's not your fault.
07:18You're still ill.
07:19No, okay, well, look, you take care, sweetheart, and hopefully we'll see you tomorrow.
07:26Yeah, bye.
07:28And, uh, can I have a word?
07:30Yeah, of course.
07:31Um, it's Patrick's 85th birthday leader this weekend.
07:35We were going to have a surprise party for him at the community centre.
07:38But they've double booked and left us high and dry.
07:41So I was wondering if we could possibly have it here.
07:45Oh, but we'd love to help.
07:47But we are so short-staffed this week.
07:49I'm sorry.
07:50You know how much we all love Patrick.
07:52Which is why we will move heaven and earth to give him the best party possible.
07:55Oh, thank you, ladies.
07:56Yes?
07:57Right, well, we want a Caribbean theme.
07:59Although Kim is insisting that it has to be classy.
08:02Apparently she's been having online bullying and wants to make a point.
08:05Well, if you want class, you've come to the right place.
08:08For 300 quid, we will transform this pub into Port of Spain for the night.
08:13Maybe we could sort a cheaper deal, you know, seeing as it's Patrick.
08:18I'd love to, but this is business.
08:20I think I know that better than most.
08:21Don't worry, ladies, it's fine.
08:22I'm just glad that you can help us at all.
08:24I'll go and tell the family.
08:26Listen.
08:28Listen.
08:29Denise, Kim, Howie, Jack, Chelsea.
08:32There's a lot of good earners in that family.
08:34And we need to start earning too.
08:35Especially now.
08:36Now that you've fritted away five grand on a cruise for someone else, you mean.
08:40Oh, sorry.
08:41Didn't mean to bring that up again.
08:43Yeah, well.
08:44Now all this stress has given me a migraine.
08:46So I need to go off and get some sort of massage and then go into town afterwards.
08:50You all right on your own?
08:51Uh, Tara.
08:52So, who exactly was in this post-nut agreement then?
09:05Just that we left for marriage with exactly what we came in with.
09:10Tara's reasonable.
09:12For her.
09:13Well, it would be if the castle was accessible, but it's all tied up in a pub.
09:18Listen to him.
09:19He wants me to get down and dirty and fight for the bit.
09:22All right.
09:23Well, if you want to go down that road, I've got a brief he'll chew her up and spit out
09:27the bones.
09:28You want Richie's number?
09:29You only have to ask.
09:31You know what?
09:32I'm not Elaine's biggest fan, but you don't seem very happy about this.
09:36You really want to get divorced?
09:39No.
09:40But that's the way we're heading.
09:41And we're too far down the path to turn back now, so...
09:42Are you sure?
09:43Well, in that case, I reckon you've only got two choices.
09:44You take his advice and fight fire with fire, or you'll be the grown-up.
09:47You know, because Elaine can't.
09:48She ain't got anything right now.
09:49I can give her everything.
09:50I don't just, you know, keep talking, keep channels open.
09:51When me and Kat split up and she left me, well, I could have destroyed her, left her with
09:56nothing.
09:57But...
09:58I don't know.
09:59I'm not sure.
10:00I can't.
10:01I can't.
10:02I can't.
10:03I can't.
10:04I can't.
10:05I can't.
10:06I can't.
10:07I can't.
10:08I can't.
10:09I can't.
10:10I can't.
10:11I can't.
10:12I can't.
10:13I can't.
10:14I can't.
10:15I can't.
10:16I can't.
10:17I can't.
10:18we just destroyed her, left there with nothing but why?
10:21I know?
10:22I'll have that once.
10:23I'll have the kids, that one.
10:24I'm still there.
10:25Yeah.
10:27Well, what would it be?
10:28He'd be gracious when he'd got money in the bank.
10:31He's right.
10:33It's right.
10:34This is a different situation, because you turn this into all that war and go for the
10:38Job.
10:39It won't just be Elaine you'd be out...
10:41you and all that and have kids.
10:44Listen, you want my advice.
