00:00MUSIC
00:24Sweetheart, this is absolutely lovely. Thank you so much.
00:27Oh, well, what do you buy the woman who has everything?
00:32David, you've not forgot it's Gran's birthday, have you?
00:35No. Got her afternoon tea in the bistro.
00:39Oh, maybe we should have left this till then.
00:42Oh, no, I can't be doing with that competitive gift-giving
00:45and, oh, I love you more than she does
00:47and deliberately leaving the gift tag on.
00:50Oh, what's this? Polyester.
00:53Seems I do love you more than she does, Gran.
00:55Stop it, it's not Gran, it's 100% so.
00:57I know.
00:59I've told Kit that I'm going to wait till this evening
01:01to see him at the hospital.
01:03Bit of a mistake, isn't it?
01:05Well, Gran's birthday is more important.
01:08Meanwhile, he'll be getting a nice bed bath
01:10from some hot young nurse.
01:12Oh, David, you've got a very mucky mind.
01:14No, I haven't, Gran. I've just got a very good memory, that's all.
01:17Cash your mind back to Christmas Day.
01:19Hmm? Have you forgotten?
01:21Oh, when you pushed Adam down the stairs.
01:23Look, how many times? I didn't put...
01:25He slipped, all right?
01:28And I went on about that.
01:29I was on about that long streak of policemen
01:31and my wife at it.
01:33Well, we weren't together then, were we?
01:35No, but I was with her.
01:36Well, OK, can you imagine, though,
01:38if I had to spend my whole life worrying about Kit's exes?
01:41Yeah, well, there's always a downside
01:43to desirable men, you know?
01:46Oh, but my outfit, you know,
01:48I never lost a wink of sleep, honestly.
01:53That's such a backhanded compliment.
01:55So does no-one care about David's feelings, no?
01:58Honestly, it really suits you, I think.
01:59It makes your eyes pop.
02:00Oh, really?
02:01Yeah.
02:02Obviously not.
02:03No-one gives a lumpies.
02:05Darling, it's wonderful.
02:07It's amazing I put this on today.
02:09Oh, I know.
02:09It really matches this one.
02:11I can't believe it.
02:11I know.
02:12Siege.
02:13I'm a sucker for those magazines.
02:15Ridiculous, really.
02:16They haven't got a place of me own.
02:17Well, not yet, anyway.
02:20Property porn, my Ronnie calls it.
02:23We bought an 18th-century poorhouse.
02:27And then spent a year eating caviar in a caravan.
02:30Yeah.
02:31Me heart bleeds.
02:33Yeah, the smug gets.
02:35I'll show them a poorhouse.
02:3621st-century style-y.
02:38Yeah, it'd probably still end up in print, wouldn't it?
02:41Yeah.
02:41They call it, um, oh, sliced bread chic or summits.
02:47Anyway, see you later, Bernie.
02:49Ta-ra, love.
02:50Ta-ra.
02:53Did I ask for tea?
02:56Yeah, I know.
02:58Touch of the face.
02:59I'm getting, um, wafts of diesel and a sprinkling of sodas.
03:08All right, all right.
03:10Oh, it's, uh, perfect builder's brew, that love.
03:13Five stars, TripAdvisor.
03:14Oh, cheers, kid.
03:15I'll take that.
03:16There's no need to be sarky.
03:19Is that something I've said?
03:20No.
03:21Is it George?
03:22You feeling swamped in number 11?
03:23I'm fine.
03:25You're the opposite of fine.
03:26Ever since last night, you've been spiky.
03:29Is it work?
03:30Is a job falling through or somewhere?
03:33Is it Danielle?
03:34Oh, my word.
03:34Will you give it a rest?
03:35You're like a dog with a butt.
03:37It's just...
03:38It's not Danielle.
03:39It's Noah.
03:41All right?
03:41I saw him last night.
03:44He came into the bistro while you were in the gents.
03:46Timed that well.
03:48So what, is he following us round there?
03:50Is this a coincidence?
03:51There's no way that that's a coincidence.
03:54Noah doesn't even live near here.
03:56That's out-and-out harassment.
03:58He knows that we despise him.
04:01What's he going to gain?
04:03The only thing he cares about, my soul.
04:05And anywhere I've told him, my soul's spoken for.
04:08I can't do this.
04:09Todd, I'll see you.
04:10All right.
04:17Bernie, can...
04:18Oh, sorry, love.
04:20I've not got any change.
04:21Have you not got anything smaller?
04:22Oh, God.
04:23I don't know what it is.
04:24I'll have to pay me the phone.
04:26OK.
04:32Shanice, you can't lick the ball.
04:34You shook your finger in.
04:36Hey, hey, girls, girls, girls.
04:38Sally.
04:39No, licking the ball, Shanice.
04:42That's Tim's job.
04:44Yeah, it is.
04:44Give it here, you little rascal.
04:47Too late, my gym.
04:50A man.
04:51Is there any point putting that in the oven if it's just the batter you're after?
04:54Yeah.
04:54But what about Mum?
04:56You can't take cakes into Mum.
04:58You can't take anything.
04:59She's coming home.
05:01She said, did you, she's Sally?
05:03I'm coming home soon, I promise.
05:06Yeah, she's coming home, but it might not be that soon.
05:08But when she does, right, we'll make her a big cake as big as my head.
05:12Three of them big enough.
05:14Oh!
05:14You need two of them.
05:16Cheeky.
05:17You need ten of them for that big bald head.
05:21Did you hear that?
05:21My big bald head, they're ganging up on me.
05:23I thought big bald heads were trendy.
05:25You like my big bald head, don't you?
05:27Oh, it's a social worker.
05:29Can't you give me some of your hair?
05:31You've got enough to go around.
05:32Shanice will.
05:32You could tie a big bow on top like that.
05:35Green and white.
05:36We're the county colours.
05:37You've got it, kid.
05:42Hi, Carla.
05:43How many of me?
05:47Oh.
05:48Where's Carla?
05:51Hiya, Ryan.
05:51How are you doing since I've sacked you sorry ass?
05:53I'm all right.
05:53Thanks for asking, yeah.
05:55She said this would be a good time.
05:58Well, don't mind me.
05:59I'm just picking up me post.
06:01Right, well.
06:03Just need to, er...
06:04to measure up.
06:09Oh, yeah.
06:10Lock yourself up.
06:14Oh, yeah.
06:15I don't think my couch is going to fit there.
06:20Has she bought the removal, men?
06:22No idea.
06:23Ah.
06:24Because, er...
06:24I know it's only a stone's throw away, but still.
06:30But she said she'd be here.
06:32Her and Lisa.
06:33I've got a few questions to ask.
06:35Yeah, well, you know.
06:36Busy women.
06:37Demanding jobs to go to and all that.
06:39Yeah.
06:39Look at this date of alls.
06:45Having brunch.
06:46Like, two pairs of Northern Quarter.
06:49Hipsters or somewhere.
06:50You're on your feet all day.
06:52You'll need some fuel in a tank.
06:53I know you'd rather have a...
06:54a bar for a nut.
06:57When have I ever said that?
06:58You didn't have to say it.
07:01Excuse me.
07:03Excuse me.
07:03So, have you seen Bernie?
07:06She nipped out for change.
07:07I think.
07:09What, did you say how long she's going to be?
07:11Not long.
07:13Is it urgent?
07:15Excuse me.
07:16Shh.
07:19Listen.
07:19Son.
07:22Have you seen my lucky boxes?
07:24Navy blue ones?
07:26Calvin's?
07:27Not guilty, Your Honour.
07:29You want to frisk me?
07:30No, I'm serious.
07:31I've got a one o'clock tea time
07:33with Dexter Kelleher.
07:35Who wears lucky boxes for a bro?
07:39Excuse me.
07:41Not tea.
07:43Tea.
07:43T-E-E as in whack.
07:46Because Dex, he's the dashing cavalier, isn't he?
07:48I don't know.
07:48He thinks he's a Weatherfield's answer
07:50to Rory McIlroy.
07:52Please.
07:53Where's this kid?
07:55Now, this kid.
07:56Now, he could have been Weatherfield's next Rory, okay?
07:59Better.
07:59Don't start.
08:00Better.
08:02Seven years of age, he was playing off scratch.
08:05Yeah.
08:06No, I have no idea what you're on about.
08:08Are you serious?
08:11Son, you need to score your friend.
08:13Because golf, you're not cricket.
08:15And these are the sports that civilise man or woman
08:18about town.
08:19Except the civilised man about town
08:22doesn't need a lucky pair of boxes.
08:24Yeah.
08:25Hang about.
08:26Yeah.
08:27Navy, you say?
08:28Mm-hmm.
08:29I think I saw Bernie cleaning a telly with some...
08:33Oh, not so lucky now, are you, Dev?
08:36Excuse me, that's good food.
08:37Eat.
08:38Why don't you go, Commando?
08:40Yeah.
08:42The draft might put a pep in your slip.
08:46Zing in your swing.
08:48You have a figure of fun to this kid.
08:51Bet you didn't have a laugh at your dad, did you?
08:52No, when you, like, shrunk his best rugby shirt
08:55or bent his best dart.
08:57No.
08:58Now, I bet he played darts, though, didn't he,
08:59when he was at large.
09:01Footy you played.
09:02Caught you mad.
09:03Addy, we done here.
09:05Yeah.
09:05Ah, don't be daft.
09:07Go.
09:08I'll call in later, you can pour me a pint.
09:12Right.
09:16When he was at large,
09:18are you for real?
09:24Do you know how hard I've worked
09:26to shift that hotel's reputation, eh?
09:30In the shadow of Ray Crosby.
09:33Yes.
09:34Yeah.
09:35I do.
09:36No-one grafts ardour.
09:37All right, but it was you that I was,
09:38I was concerned about, not me.
09:40All right, yeah.
09:41All four-footed out of me, my stocking feet.
09:43Do you not know me well enough by now?
09:45How I admire the way that you've,
09:47you've pulled yourself up from nothing.
09:49Oh, that is very polished.
09:52You know what, Debs,
09:53I'm not one of these divvies
09:54that's intimidated by successful women.
09:56I grew up watching Carla.
09:57Yeah.
09:58And I loved that job.
10:01Made me feel like I was actually
10:02going somewhere, finally.
10:03Well, lesson learned.
10:09Boundaries matter.
10:10Yeah?
10:11So, you dust yourself off
10:13and you move on.
10:14Well, what lesson is that, exactly?
10:17Don't go the extra mile.
10:18Don't try and protect the people
10:20that you care about.
10:20Don't patronise your boss.
10:22That's a good one.
10:23Right.
10:24So,
10:25you won't change your mind, then?
10:30Put it down to experience.
10:38Right.
10:39Great.
10:43Thanks for the opportunity.
10:44I'm sorry.
10:49Sorry, it didn't work out.
10:53You know, I did try and see the big picture.
10:55Your next assistant manager might not.
10:57Are you kidding me?
11:07What now?
11:08Tell me if we're a crisp packet in the recycling.
11:10Finish with him.
11:13A challenge to change.
11:15Eh?
11:15And look where it's being held.
11:20Victoria Street.
11:21Oh, community centre.
11:24Yeah, but he's one of them
11:25happy-clappy types, isn't he?
11:26Probably just talks all over the place.
11:28This isn't a talk, George.
11:29He's brainwashing people
11:31on our doorstep.
11:32Hey,
11:32this is someone else's faith
11:34you're trashing.
11:34No, no, no.
11:35Not when the change
11:36that he's on about
11:37is other people's sexuality.
11:38You want to know
11:39why Theo's so messed up?
11:40Noah.
11:41He tried to pray the gay away.
11:43Ever since they met as kids,
11:45he has got into Theo's head.
11:46Yeah, but Theo is with you now.
11:48And where was that leaflet?
11:49Eh?
11:49It was in the bin.
11:51Noah followed us
11:52to the bistro last night.
11:53He has deliberately chosen this hog
11:55because he knows
11:55it's a stone's throw
11:56from where we live.
11:57Coincidence?
11:58Not you as well.
12:00You think I'm parent, though.
12:01I am not.
12:11Hello?
12:22Noah?
12:31Noah?
12:32Noah?
12:52Sorry.
12:53Sorry, Gran.
12:54Yes, I know.
12:54No phones at the table.
12:55I can guess who that is.
12:57Oh, no, no.
12:57It's just work.
12:58Work, my eyes.
12:59That glint, eh?
13:00Well, kids, anyway,
13:03what's he saying?
13:05Can you not ditch
13:06that elderly birthday person,
13:08please,
13:08and come and mop my brow?
13:11I don't think it's his brow
13:12he wants mopping.
13:13Could we get an aubergine
13:14for the lady, please?
13:15Lady, for the kids.
13:17Audrey?
13:18Oh, Toya.
13:19I said no gifts.
13:21Oh, thank you.
13:22In fact,
13:23I said to Sarah,
13:25your presence
13:26is presence and offer.
13:27Do you get that?
13:29Did you get that,
13:30sweetie,
13:30jar,
13:31presents?
13:32Good one.
13:32Who doesn't want presents?
13:34I know the maker,
13:35it's 100% organic,
13:36so I know you deal
13:37with lots of harsh chemicals
13:38at work.
13:39This is wonderful.
13:40Thank you so much.
13:41Oh.
13:42Now,
13:42you might tell me off
13:44for this.
13:44No.
13:46Oh.
13:46Oh.
13:48Ooh.
13:49Look,
13:50champagne.
13:51Well,
13:51it's crummel.
13:53Oh,
13:53classy.
13:54Yeah,
13:54I messaged Gail
13:55to ask her what you liked,
13:56Audrey.
13:56Anything wet,
13:57basically.
13:58Oh,
13:59my goodness.
14:00Oh,
14:00no,
14:00I've not left the price
14:01on,
14:01have I?
14:03Oh.
14:05Shall we put it
14:05in there?
14:06Yeah.
14:07Oh.
14:07What did we get her?
14:09Freshcoast voucher.
14:11So,
14:11bumper pack
14:12bog wrong,
14:13£10 of spuds.
14:15I suppose it's the hope
14:15that counts.
14:19Oh,
14:19I can't wait.
14:23Do you want me
14:24to call him off my phone?
14:25Is that picking up?
14:27Hello,
14:28unknown number.
14:30Look,
14:30whenever me and Max
14:31used to fall out
14:32and he called me,
14:33I just ignore him,
14:33me.
14:34Yeah,
14:34well,
14:34me and Theo
14:35haven't argued.
14:37Well,
14:38not really.
14:39They're just not
14:40on the same page.
14:41probably overreacting.
14:44What,
14:44you don't think so?
14:47He didn't mention...
14:49Mention what?
14:52He bumped into
14:53an old workmate,
14:55a bit of a lad,
14:56and he asked Theo
14:57about this new bird.
15:00Theo didn't correct him.
15:02He didn't realise
15:02that overheard.
15:04Did you pull him up on it?
15:05Yeah,
15:05of course.
15:05But,
15:06you know,
15:06he was already
15:07kicking himself.
15:09Embarrassing.
15:09Who the poor lad dates?
15:11He's no-one's business
15:12but his own.
15:12But you're thinking
15:13he was already
15:13having doubts?
15:15Oh.
15:17What time's this meeting?
15:18Five.
15:19All right,
15:19well,
15:20just keep trying him,
15:21and if he is unloading
15:22scaffold at the yard,
15:24then...
15:24Happy day.
15:25Yeah,
15:25but if not,
15:26then I'll walk over
15:27to the community centre
15:28with you.
15:29Excuse me?
15:36Am I invisible?
15:38I was here before him.
15:39Drink,
15:40please.
15:42And I'd say
15:42I've one yourself
15:43but you've got a first
15:44like a slap derriere.
15:46What's up,
15:46eh?
15:47Does my sunny disposition
15:49offend you?
15:50Nope,
15:50I can just afford
15:51my own drinks,
15:51Ty.
15:52Do you know what?
15:53Can I just say,

16:37enough wardrobe space
16:38for your special items?
16:39Oh,
16:39no,
16:40no.
16:40Well,
16:41yes,
16:41yes,
16:42I am,
16:42just a little bit,
16:44but I absolutely
16:45love what you've
16:47done with the apartment.
16:49Okay.
16:52Yeah.
16:52So what's going
16:54on with you
16:54and Ryan?
16:56Come on,
16:57spill it.
17:00It's the way
17:01you talk to her,
17:02like she's from
17:02this distant planet
17:03and you're
17:04the Duke of Weatherfield.
17:05Yeah,
17:05listen,
17:05honey,
17:05hand on my heart,
17:06I was like,
17:06curse it herself,
17:07okay,
17:07the girl barely
17:08says two words to me.
17:09The girl's got a name.
17:10Yeah,
17:10Lynette.
17:11Lovren.
17:11Yeah,
17:11all right.
17:13She's terrified
17:14of you,
17:14that's why.
17:15Put Lauren Bolton
17:15or bash the man's head
17:16in,
17:16that one.
17:17She thinks you're
17:18some super-powered,
17:19high-cultured businessman
17:20and you don't like her.
17:22How can I know
17:23if I like her?
17:24She just goes around
17:25looking sullen all day.
17:26Not with me.
17:27No,
17:28she's full of stories
17:29and questions.
17:30Yeah,
17:30all right,
17:30she doesn't catch my eye,
17:32okay?
17:33She's got nothing to say.
17:34I mean,
17:34does she ever,
17:35ever laugh?
17:35Of course she laughs
17:37and you should see her
17:38with that baby.
17:39I've never seen her
17:39mother soapy softed.
17:40Yeah,
17:40all right,
17:41guys,
17:41maybe it's me.
17:42It is.
17:43She can smell it on you.
17:45You're a snob,
17:46Dad.
17:46I'm a what?
17:51I'm a what?
17:53You're thinking,
17:54how can I be a snob?
17:55Have you seen my missus?
17:58Just give her a chance.
18:00You know,
18:00to come from where she is
18:02and build a stable life
18:03for Frankie,
18:03that takes gumption.
18:04Yeah,
18:04all right.
18:07But,
18:07you know,
18:07why can't he just go out
18:08with, like,
18:08a nice,
18:09bright girl?
18:10Yeah,
18:10not even bright.
18:12And it's straightforward.
18:14Why do they always
18:15have to come
18:16with just, like,
18:16so much baggage?
18:18Because Ardy
18:19is a sweetheart.
18:20He's got a massive heart
18:21and a lot to give.
18:23And I wonder
18:23where he gets that from.
18:24You all right?
18:33How are you?
18:34Where's Johnny and Shanice?
18:36Uh,
18:36upstairs.
18:38Packing?
18:39Playing.
18:40Trampolines,
18:41by the sound of it.
18:42What makes you say that?
18:44I don't know your faces.
18:46We're not being shunted off,
18:48then,
18:48are we?
18:48No.
18:49Help us here.
18:49Dawn rang.
18:51She's your mum's
18:52social worker.
18:54She's had word
18:55from the clerk
18:55of the court
18:56that your mum's
18:57pleaded guilty.
18:59What's that,
19:00like,
19:00two years
19:01more?
19:03They're not going to
19:04give her suspended,
19:05are they?
19:06Well,
19:06we don't know
19:06until 17.
19:08Sally's going to
19:09take the girls
19:09for a visit.
19:10Why don't you go with?
19:11Yeah,
19:11it'd mean a lot
19:11to your mum.
19:13Today?
19:13Oh,
19:20look at these cupcakes.
19:21I'm starving.
19:22Can I have one?
19:29You've earned that.
19:30Mm.
19:31I won't argue with that.
19:32I love the way
19:33Gran thinks she's
19:33low-maintenance.
19:34Yeah,
19:35doesn't she,
19:35Jules?
19:36Mind you,
19:3785th birthday,
19:38I mean,
19:38she should have asked
19:38for a room full
19:39of white kittens.
19:39Yeah,
19:40two men,
19:41oiled up,
19:41loincloths,
19:42carrying her in.
19:43Yeah,
19:43I'd pay to see that.
19:44Yeah,
19:45Audrey going full
19:45on Winkleman.
19:46Nick,
19:46sorry to interrupt.
19:47Yeah,
19:47I bet you are.
19:48Audrey's looking a bit tired,
19:49I think we should
19:49do the cake now.
19:51Right,
19:51is she looking a bit tired?
19:53So,
19:53Kit was saying
19:54he's really sorry
19:54that he couldn't be here,
19:55but he wanted to
19:56raise a glass
19:57to wish you a happy bit.
19:57Oh,
19:58thank you,
19:58sweetheart,
19:59well,
19:59I'm sending one
20:00back to him.
20:01What's he like
20:02as a patient?
20:03Oh,
20:03terrible.
20:04Oh,
20:04what?
20:05Can't wait
20:05to get back
20:06on the mean streets.
20:07Oh,
20:08he's milking it.
20:09She lives a bit of drama
20:09in this one.
20:10Well,
20:10she's like a moth
20:11to a flame.
20:12Oh,
20:12I do not.
20:13Oh,
20:14that Clint wants
20:14to watch himself.
20:15If he gets an office job,
20:17he'll be like,
20:17whoop!
20:17Stop it,
20:18you're picking on me.
20:19What is it
20:20that the kids say?
20:21Oh,
20:21thank you.
20:22Next.
20:22Should we get the egg?
20:26Well,
20:26Sam's not back yet.
20:27He's probably in the kitchen
20:28helping you,
20:28so if we count the candles.
20:29Yeah,
20:29well,
20:29they won't want to miss
20:30the photos,
20:30will they?
20:30I'll give him a shout.
20:31It's fine,
20:32Lee,
20:32honestly,
20:32sit down.
20:33Fine.
20:34Hey,
20:34Sarah,
20:35if you do kick that kit
20:36into torch,
20:36chuck him my way,
20:37yeah?
20:38Well,
20:38you'll have to join
20:39the queue,
20:40sweetheart.
20:40Oh!
20:41A nice one,
20:42aren't you?
20:52Our brother
21:02is broken.
21:05Give him strength,
21:07Lord.
21:08Lift his heavy burden.
21:11Free him from
21:11twisted temptation
21:12and set him on
21:14the straight path
21:15of righteousness.
21:16Come on,
21:17Theo,
21:17get up,
21:18all right?
21:18They're the twisted ones,
21:19not me and you.
21:21Who's this?
21:22Noah?
21:23No one.
21:24They're leaving.
21:25You get off on this,
21:26don't you?
21:26You're the perverted one.
21:28You'll hear this
21:29from the deniers
21:30over and over.
21:34Projection!
21:35Laying their sins
21:36at another's feet.
21:37You should know better,
21:38vicar.
21:38Where's Theo?
21:39Well,
21:39it's not with you,
21:40so...
21:41somewhere safe,
21:42where he can be saved.
21:43You can't keep him.
21:44Not against his will,
21:45no matter how you try
21:46and dress that up,
21:47all right?
21:47We'll report you
21:48to the police.
21:48And to the diocese.
21:50Pray with me,
21:51Reverend Billy.
21:52From Peter,
21:53verse 5.
21:54Be sober,
21:55be vigilant,
21:57for your adversary
21:58the devil
21:58walks about
21:59like a roaring lion.
22:00Love is not
22:01the devil's work
22:02and you know it.
22:02Seeking whom
22:03he may devour,
22:05resist him!
22:06Come with us, mate,
22:07all right?
22:07We'll look after you.
22:08Steadfast in the faith,
22:10knowing that
22:10the same sufferings
22:11are experienced
22:12by your brotherhood
22:13in the world.
22:16Todd.
22:17Todd!
22:18Todd!
22:22Todd!
22:25Shut up,
22:26all right?
22:27Todd,
22:27no!
22:28Shut up!
22:28No!
22:29No!
22:29No!
22:30No!
22:30You've got everything you need, pal.
22:56We need to go.
22:56No, I'm not going anywhere until I find out where Theo is.
23:00Oh, wow, he is risen.
23:04Mock all you like, but I'm doing God's work here.
23:08My body's been broken more than once in his service.
23:10What about his body, eh? What about his spirit?
23:12What gives you the right to break them?
23:13The will of the Lord as revealed in Scripture.
23:16The will of the Lord as interpreted by those who see what they want to see.
23:20That's your offence.
23:21You and all the Christians in name only.
23:25He wants my help, and he'll thank me for it later.
23:27Just tell me where Theo is.
23:29No, but I'll tell you where he's going.
23:31Back to Jesus Christ and away from you.
23:34Why haven't you been listening to this?
23:35Oh, is it painful?
23:37You above all should know you've sinned against God.
23:41But there's still hope.
23:43I can help you both.
23:44I don't need your help, but thanks.
23:46You didn't lash out because of Theo.
23:50It's because you can't bear what you are.
23:52I can't bear what you are.
23:54How many lives have you wrecked?
23:55How many people are mired in shame because of lies that you told them?
23:59Didn't your Bible say something about love one another?
24:02It also says, thou shall not lie with a man as with a woman.
24:08It is an abomination.
24:09The Bible is littered with hundreds of obsolete injunctions that merely reflect the time and the culture in which they were written.
24:18Only a fanatic like you would believe that the world was created in seven days.
24:23He knows sin when he sees it.
24:25And he forgives only those willing to repent of it.
24:28The only sinner that I can see in here is you.
24:30Come on.
24:31We're wasting our time here.
24:33Yeah, it's not really about forgetting things.
24:43It's like I'm forgetting how to behave in public.
24:46You know, I'm screaming at Leanne.
24:48I had a right go at that Brodie.
24:49Well, we all want to scream at Leanne from time to time, I'm telling you.
24:52It's bound to be frustrating for you.
24:54Your whole life's just been tipped upside down.
24:58And I know it's really scary.
25:03Yeah.
25:08But...
25:09What?
25:12Oh, don't matter.
25:14Well, go on, tell me.
25:16Is it?
25:17Well, look, I can't tell you what to do about Ryan, but I can tell you that he cares about you a lot.
25:25And from my experience, it's those people who care a lot make all the difference when you're up against it.
25:33There you go.
25:34Oh, you've still got it.
25:39Yeah, well, I've been back long enough to tip your stride.
25:42And you know, some things you'll never forget.
25:44Oh, unless you're getting lectured by my dad.
25:47Yeah, well.
25:50Forgive him, but not forgotten.
25:52And anyway, you can't blame him, can you?
25:53Well, I can.
25:55And I do.
25:55Addy, he's barely got off the plane to find out you're in a new relationship with a single mum, by the way.
26:02He pours pints down the road.
26:04Very good pints.
26:06Well, cheers.
26:07But let's just say I ain't got princes queuing up on that basis.
26:12Cheers?
26:12What's hide from you, obviously, your royal highness.
26:17Look, Dad, if you're here just to kick off again, then...
26:21Simmer down.
26:22I'll come in peace.
26:23Namaste.
26:24We should stop that.
26:26Ever since he's gotten back, he keeps doing it.
26:28It's driving us mad.
26:29Take yourself elsewhere, son, because I come to men fences with your lady friend.
26:35Sounds good to me.
26:37Is he still here?
26:38Why are you still here?
26:40Do you really want to hear my bottom of this pit of embarrassing stories about you?
26:46So long as you don't share any of yours.
26:49I'll be fine.
26:53So.
26:55Lauren.
26:59He said love.
27:01Blood above.
27:03Now you're gonna trick me in love.
27:06Ow!
27:06All right now.
27:11You okay?
27:12Yeah, yeah.
27:14Yeah, I'm good.
27:20I'm not good.
27:27Todd said you've been getting pested by someone at your old church.
27:32Yeah.
27:33Yeah, but you don't want to hear about all that, George.
27:35Hey.
27:36I own 20 years in this funeral business.
27:39Got three-ply shoulders, me.
27:41Made for crayon.
27:48I built this life.
27:50For somebody else, not me.
27:53And now it's there.
27:54I can't reject it.
27:56I can't reject it.
27:56And yet, you know, I can't go back.
28:01It just feels so weak.
28:02I'll just stop it for a drink.
28:10That won't help.
28:12Was that guy genuinely filming, do you think, or just trying to put the frighteners on?
28:15From what I can see, yeah.
28:16Yeah, he was filming you.
28:19Did he get the actual scuffle, or just the aftermath?
28:22I can't say for certain, but I guess I'll just hand myself in at the cop shop now.
28:27No, we don't know that they're going to do anything.
28:30You heard Noah.
28:31He will do anything to split me and Theo up.
28:34This is like a gift to him, if he can get me put away for assault.
28:36You were provoked.
28:38Let's not forget, you know, Theo was hardly showering himself in glory at the time.
28:43Depends on your point of view.
28:44Oh, no.
28:45What?
28:46Theo, he's going to go crazy.
28:48No, he'll understand.
28:50Will he?
28:50He hates me fighting his battles at the best of times, but actually fighting them and
28:54handing a load of ammo to Noah in the process.
28:56I've had a complete idiot of myself.
28:58Wait, maybe you were a little hasty, rejecting that drink.
29:02It might do you more good than you know.
29:04And if you're still worried, look, I'll have a word with Theo for you.
29:07No, I should do it myself.
29:10But maybe we'll have that drink first.
29:12Steady my nerves.
29:13And, yeah, you've had a little shock.
29:15Come on.
29:16Get your bag of scratchings.
29:20Pam, are you in here?
29:23Erm.
29:25Granny, Audrey's just about to blow her candles out.
29:29Sorry?
29:31No, I wasn't shouting.
29:32I just thought, you might want to be there.
29:34What are you doing hiding down there?
29:37Erm.
29:40Hey, it's all right.
29:41Come on, you can tell me.
29:44I just...
29:46Sometimes everything gets a bit much.
29:50I feel uneasy.
29:52I'm scared, I suppose.
29:55OK.
29:56Well, this is new.
29:58It's just a feeling.
29:58I try to be rational, but...
30:01It's just better when I'm alone.
30:04Because I'm not quiet.
30:07Safe.
30:09Well, I'm here.
30:11And you are safe.
30:13Promise.
30:13I really appreciate you, er, bringing him in again.
30:21Well, they are your children.
30:24Not for much longer.
30:26Can't think like that.
30:28There's no need in kidding us off.
30:30Brody.
30:31No, he's...
30:32He's right.
30:34I, er, need to face facts.
30:36Anything else, I'll just be...
30:38Setting myself up for a fall.
30:40Don't worry, we'll be all right.
30:42We're used to it.
30:46You know, I, um...
30:47I always did my best for you.
30:49Yeah.
30:51People need to make allowances for very difficult circumstances.
30:58Look, can you just...
31:00Can you give me and Sal a minute?
31:01Fine.
31:02I'll talk to him.
31:07I'll try and make him understand what you've been dealing with.
31:10Oh, he knows.
31:12He's seen it enough times.
31:15Believe it or not, that's, er...
31:16His way of showing that he's upset.
31:19I'd be more worried if you were being nice.
31:24Listen, then...
31:26There's something I need to ask you.
31:28We can't get the money you wanted.
31:30Oh, no, it's not that.
31:33Let's face it, I was clutching at straws.
31:38I've, um...
31:40I've come to terms with the fact that...
31:43I'm going to do a decent stretch.
31:45And, um...
31:47Well, I...
31:48I don't want you to bring the kids to see me anymore.
31:53Not regular, any road.
31:57Why?
31:57I mean, they couldn't wait to see you.
31:58I just don't want them to, um...
32:04Get used to seeing me in here.
32:07And this place.
32:09Getting mixed up in their memory image.
32:12Do you understand what I'm saying?
32:13Yeah.
32:16It's going to be all right, though.
32:17In the long term...
32:19You will get through this.
32:21You need to believe that.
32:22Maybe.
32:27I just think it's best to say goodbye for now.
32:31For all our sakes.
32:35Well, I will take care of them.
32:38I promise you.
32:40Oh, I know you will.
32:41You've been such a good friend to me.
32:47I didn't deserve it.
32:49So thank you.
32:57Kids.
32:58I'll, uh...
33:07I'll leave you to him.
33:12Come here.
33:17I'll walk after them, I promise.
33:20He, um...
33:41He sees me as like a lost sheep, you know.
33:44And he won't rest until I've been driven back into the fold.
33:46He's not some border collie nipping at your backside.
33:51He's just some bloke with his head screwed on wrong.
33:54At the end of the day,
33:55you can only drive people who are willing to be driven.
33:58Yeah, exactly.
33:59Look, Theo.
34:00If you're happy in your new life with Todd,
34:03why would you let some religious fanatic ruin all that?
34:05Just send him on his way.
34:07It's not that simple, George.
34:09He knows how I've been brought up
34:11and what I've been brought up to believe.
34:13He knows where all my buttons are
34:14and exactly how to push them.
34:15If you love someone
34:19with all your heart
34:20and you want to be with them,
34:23then there is naught in this world
34:24should stand in the way of that.
34:26I know God, worth the name, would want it either.
34:30You don't know the power of shame, George.
34:34I'd just lie to despise the way you feel
34:36and not be able to do anything about it.
34:38I mean, how do you live like that?
34:44Oh, find a minute's peace.
34:47Especially when you've got someone in your ear
34:48telling you you're offending God.
34:50You're not.
34:51I've just seen what offending God looks like.
34:54What do you mean?
34:54I've just walked in on one of Noah's therapy sessions.
34:58I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
34:59And...
35:00And what?
35:04I'm sorry.
35:06I've done something stupid.
35:10Here you go.
35:11Thanks for blowing them candles out, Gran.
35:15I'm beginning to think I need to take off another lair.
35:18Actually, I am not too old to give you what for.
35:20Right.
35:21I'm going to take this nice, big slice of cake for my kit.
35:25Really?
35:27I mean, do we need to?
35:28I mean, he's not even family.
35:30Well, as long as he's with me, he's family.
35:31Yes, and he's quite a bit bigger than you.
35:34Gran, when has height had anything to do
35:37with the size of cake we're taking home for people?
35:40Well, that's good news for you, isn't it, my little munchkin?
35:44I mean, you're hardly a Harlem Globetrotter yourself.
35:47I mean, if you two got spliced photographer,
35:50he'd have to stand about 50 feet away
35:51to get you both in shot.
35:52Everything all right, Sam?
35:54Oh, oh, finally, somebody's noticed.
35:57Notice what?
35:58That he's been hiding away in the office all this time.
36:01But since when?
36:01Since you've been out here playing mine host
36:03and the so-called counsellor's been filling a gate hole.
36:06And what's that supposed to mean?
36:07Arrest me case.
36:08You two have been walking around with your eyes shut.
36:11He's traumatised.
36:12Well, if he's not, it's him, Wilbur.
36:13You what?
36:14Huh? Nothing.
36:15Sam, if there's anything you need to talk about.
36:18Well, I don't think it's Sam who needs to do the talking.
36:20Where's this going?
36:22Well, a little bit of remorse might be nice.
36:25There was a killer roaming round the school.
36:27I mean, she was terrified.
36:29Yeah, I know she was.
36:30I'm not blaming her.
36:30I'm just saying that, well, it might help Sam
36:33if she'd have been a bit kinder, that's all.
36:35Yeah, you wouldn't have done any harm.
36:37She's not done anything wrong.
36:39I didn't, Dad.
36:39I didn't.
36:40I was dead scared.
36:41Are you proud of yourselves, upsetting a kid?
36:43Well, hold on.
36:44Sam's been pretty upset himself.
36:46Look, I think if you've noticed and not been preoccupied,
36:50if anyone's to blame, it's you three.
36:52Er, you can't blame me.
36:53I've not done anything.
36:54You just did.
36:55Why is every family party like this?
36:57At least I don't have to pay out for entertainment.
37:00I mean, who needs a DJ when I've got all these lots?
37:04Cheers, love.
37:09Kept baiting me over and over and over until I snapped.
37:13I know that's not an excuse.
37:15Why didn't you come home instead of going out drinking with your ex?
37:18I was shaken up.
37:20Plus, I didn't know how you'd react.
37:23I was...
37:25Scared?
37:27So scared you needed Dutch courage before you could face me.
37:30How do you think that makes me feel?
37:31No, no, no, it's not that.
37:32I just felt like I'd let you down.
37:35Only by thinking I wouldn't understand.
37:37I mean, as if.
37:39If anyone knows what no one's capable of, it's me.
37:42I'm sorry.
37:43For all of it.
37:45I shouldn't have lost it with you earlier.
37:48You're entitled.
37:52I'm a mess, Todd.
37:53I don't know why you bother.
37:56No, no, you've sacrificed an awful lot more for this relationship than I ever could.
38:06For what it's worth.
38:08You don't need to apologise for what you did.
38:11No, I do.
38:11It was idiotic.
38:13Exactly what he wanted.
38:14I just...
38:15I couldn't help myself.
38:17The fact that he'd brought his poison to our doorstep, like, where we live, it's like he's stalking you.
38:22I am living, breathing proof that what he's doing is wrong.
38:26I'm doomed to fail.
38:27And he can't have that.
38:28And he can't have that.
38:33Seeing it, I just...
38:35It broke my heart to think what you've been put through.
38:44I'm still here.
38:47Thanks to you.
38:48I just popped by to pick up the rest of your stuff.
38:59Hey, don't worry.
39:01I'm not after round two.
39:02I know what you did came from a good place.
39:06Just wish none of that happened.
39:09Yeah, me too.
39:12You've been a first-class employee.
39:16And a brilliant friend.
39:19Better than I've deserved sometimes.
39:22Shouldn't have jumped to conclusions, should I?
39:24I know.
39:25But the truth is, I am going to struggle sometimes, I know that.
39:34And I'm going to need my mates around me.
39:36You know, supporting me.
39:39Pointing me in the right direction.
39:42Training me.
39:45Especially here.
39:48Oh, so...
39:50Want me to come back?
39:52Yeah.
39:53I'd love you to.
39:55Can we just forget this ever happened?
39:58Yeah.
39:58Yeah?
40:00I know that's easier for me than it is for you.
40:03Don't say that.
40:07We can't pretend, can we?
40:15It's all right.
40:19I'll see you tomorrow.
40:21Yeah, of course we've got.
40:23And every day you want me.
40:25Every day.
40:27Every day.
40:28Every day.
40:28Every day.
40:31All right.
40:33It's okay.
40:37We got this.
40:44It's good of George to give us some space.
40:46Oh, he's had a basin full of me today.
40:50I expect he was glad to get away.
40:52Yeah, I should have been one making bruise.
40:54You've been through enough today.
40:56And if I didn't understand that before, then I certainly do now.
41:00Sorry about to see that close-up.
41:02It was Barbara Harick.
41:03That guy that they were torturing.
41:05I mean, I felt guilty leaving him, but I had no choice.
41:11Do you think I'm going to subject myself to that again?
41:15I didn't think you were.
41:16Not really.
41:17No.
41:18No.
41:18No, not really.
41:22Some of us had changed.
41:23Some of us were, uh, different than before.
41:26I didn't want to change because I didn't want to give you up.
41:30Good.
41:35Because we're holding on to this.
41:39I'm not going to let Noah win.
41:46Your father came back with a suitcase full of dirty laundry.
41:51It's my dirty laundry I'm worried about.
41:53Yeah, well, we'll just have to see how things play out.
41:56Honestly, you think they didn't have washing machines in India?
42:00So why weren't you planning on telling me?
42:04Hmm?
42:06Either one of you were not particularly fussed.
42:09Telling you what?
42:10Well, come on, man.
42:12Surely you haven't forgotten or were you so out of you can't remember the party you threw,
42:15got out of hand, and Lauren getting badly injured.
42:17She told you?
42:18Yeah, and went up, in my estimation, the complete opposite of you two.
42:21Yeah, well, we didn't want to ruin your holiday.
42:23You were meant to be looking after the place.
42:26Not sanctioning wild parties and God knows what else.
42:30So is there anything else I need to know?
42:33Anything?
42:33Because I really don't want to hear it from the barmaid of the rovers,
42:36and you need to tell me now.
42:42So there's nothing.
42:45Nothing at all.
42:46I'm going for a bath.
42:52Try not to burn the place down while I'm up there.
42:59I should have told them.
43:02No, at least wait until the verdict from the insurance company comes through.
43:06That won't be long.
43:08That text was from them.
43:10They're calling tomorrow.
43:11That won't solve anything.
43:24It's been a bit of a day.
43:25What are you telling me?
43:27You know, this new friend of yours has got a lot to answer for.
43:30And I'm going to make sure he does.
43:33Listen, there's no need to report Todd to the police.
43:36Whatever's happened between me and you has got nothing to do with him.
43:39I think he's got everything to do with him.
43:42He's undone a lot of my hard work.
43:45Not to mention put your mortal soul in peril.
43:47I'm just being true to the person God made me.
43:49Don't try pinning this on the Lord.
43:52What you're doing is the work of the other fella.
43:54And this Todd character's his instrument.
43:56Ah, there he is.
44:00The authentic Theo Silverton.
44:02Take a bow.
44:04I've saved you from him once.
44:06Then I'll do it again.
44:08I just want you to let me live my life.
44:14Not that life.
44:16I can't do it, I'm afraid.
44:17You see, rescuing sinners is a 24-7 vocation.
44:23I'll be seeing you.
