00:00["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"]
00:30A year to the day.
00:51No, no, no, no. No, not straight on in.
00:54No, you need to use a cloth.
00:56You don't want to be walking down the aisle in shiny keks, do you?
00:59This is Dev talking, this.
01:02You used to say that ironing was bougie.
01:04Bourgeois, my love, and I've evolved.
01:07Want to look your best for your Uncle Paul, don't you, darling?
01:14What's up? Has the cat got your tongue?
01:19Hey.
01:22You're not yourself, love. What's going on?
01:24He's sad. We're all sad.
01:29No, there's something else.
01:33Are you scared?
01:34Churches, they're awful places. They're all smells and bells.
01:39What if I cry?
01:41Mate, we'll probably all cry.
01:44Do you know where I'm going to go?
01:48Never mind your nan.
01:51Listen, Paul wasn't just my brother, yeah?
01:54He was my twin, so he wasn't just your Uncle.
01:57He was my twinkle, yeah.
02:01So it goes deeper with us, yeah?
02:03So we just do what we can.
02:06Listen, your dad will have a word with your auntie Fiz.
02:10You'll be fine there, OK?
02:18Miss Klaas.
02:20Sorry, I was just...
02:21Taking a moment.
02:23Understandable.
02:25Memnun oldum.
02:26I'm Emilia Demir.
02:28And the CEO of Emilia 8 Cosmetics.
02:30And you?
02:31The hospital has been giving me regular updates.
02:34Well, I'm glad somebody's getting them, cos I'm not.
02:36The company would like to cover the costs of your accommodation
02:39whilst Bethany's in hospital.
02:41The...
02:42The hotel bill is a drop in the ocean.
02:45Aye, still, it's one less concern.
02:49The hospital is charging us £2,000 a day.
02:52Which you must know, Bethany can't be your first VIP.
02:55This is unprecedented.
02:56I have complete strangers back home who are digging deep.
02:59And all you care about is your bottom line.
03:01Which is fine, OK?
03:03I just want this nightmare to end.
03:06Bethany gave her consent.
03:08What, to almost dying?
03:09The risks of liposuction surgery are clearly spelled out.
03:14But, Goudar, Bethany signed her consent.
03:18Your daughter is an intelligent woman.
03:21She did her research.
03:23We deeply regret the outcome.
03:25But our offer of accommodation is more than generous,
03:29given the circumstances.
03:32But, Miss Platt, we are not in the bazaar.
03:36This is a one-time offer.
03:38You should accept it.
03:44Kit.
03:45Hiya.
03:46What's your plan? Are you headed straight to the church?
03:49Sure. What's Bernie said, why?
03:51You know, it can wait.
03:53Spill?
03:55Well, you know, Joel and I were planning our wedding.
03:58You being chased for money?
04:00We'd paid a few deposits, you know, venue, honeymoon.
04:03It's all random.
04:05He'd already beat me to it.
04:07Last week.
04:09So you tell me, how many suicidal men
04:13want to die with money in the bank?
04:16Well, I'm by the funeral directors now,
04:18so I'll be ten minutes.
04:20All right, bye.
04:23Kit, I'm, er, I'm glad I've got with you.
04:26We've, er...
04:28We had a wit round at the station.
04:31Paul's M&E group.
04:33Nice one.
04:35I'll make sure they get it.
04:38Any word on Deere in second car?
04:40Well, I've asked for A&PR tracers on both vehicles.
04:43Just be good to know which one he parked up first.
04:48Well, they won't keep you.
04:50Pass on our condolences, won't you?
04:52Yeah, will do.
04:53A disco hearse.
04:55It's a new one on me.
04:57Not camp at all.
04:59Coolio, like the man himself.
05:01It's a Bobby Dazzler, all right.
05:04Well, for a boy racer named after a rocket,
05:07I'd say it's spot on.
05:19O gracious God,
05:22nothing in death or life,
05:26nothing in this world as it is,
05:29nothing in this world as it shall be,
05:34nothing in all creation
05:37shall separate us from your love.
05:49Where's Joseph?
05:51Oh, he's up for his ears.
05:53It was...
05:54Too much?
05:56Poor lad.
05:57He'll be grand.
05:59What about you two?
06:00You OK?
06:02Yeah.
06:03We'll be grand and all, won't we?
06:08Shall we crack on, then?
06:09After you.
06:12Mum, going AWOL.
06:15Least we know it's serious, though.
06:17I mean, she loves a funeral.
06:18Get a lot of rest, darling, please.
06:21She says thank you.
06:23All right, you too.
06:25Bye.
06:27I tell you, what a piece of work.
06:30Was that the actual owner?
06:32CEO, apparently.
06:33She was messing with the wrong family heir, I suppose.
06:36I don't know.
06:38CEO, apparently.
06:39She was messing with the wrong family heir, I'm telling you that.
06:42Who are you? Reggie Craig?
06:44You're no swaying turkey, Gran, or anywhere for that matter.
06:47Yes, well, the only thing she cares about is her lovely reputation,
06:50so that's what we've got to trash, believe me.
06:54Summer flights, Miss Benny. Half-term would be better.
06:56Better than those stupid holiday clubs.
06:59That stupid holiday club cost me an arm and a leg.
07:01Anyway, Mrs, you are cruising for a late night, come on.
07:04So am I, then. Pam lived up to a book of rest.
07:07But you know that's off the cards.
07:09Doran will forget about us. It's not fair.
07:11Blame Melina. She's the one putting the book to all this.
07:14Blame you two. Mum!
07:16Your mum's in bed. She's not feeling too good.
07:18Mum never gets ill. Right, just leave her.
07:20Hungover. Check the recycling.
07:22She's not hungover. She's just got a dicky tummy.
07:25She ate three bags of Monster Munch last night.
07:27Cravings. She's pregnant.
07:29Can you imagine at her age?
07:31Well, she's not too old. I would die.
07:33Don't be like that. Oh, the shame. Now you're just being mean.
07:36She cares. It's not like she hurts.
07:39Oh, my God, she is.
07:41She isn't. You are a rubbish liar.
07:43No way, Dad. Now I've got a dicky tummy.
07:46Really? We're going to have a little brother or sister that lives with us.
07:49Right, shh. Shh, OK? Listen.
07:52You can't tell us all, right?
07:54Not Nana or Granny Cassie or any of your friends.
07:58Right, I'm trusting you two to be mature, OK?
08:00So don't let me down.
08:03Mmm.
08:06Right, pallbearers.
08:09Paul.
08:11Where's David?
08:16Come on.
08:21Oh, you're a handsome devil.
08:23No wonder he fell for you.
08:27This was a huge mistake.
08:29No, it wasn't. Yeah, it was.
08:31Banging heads with Bernie.
08:33She's his mother.
08:35I should have just let her have it her way,
08:37rather than ramming all this dogma down...
08:39No, stop.
08:42What would Paul say now?
08:46He'd say,
08:48give your head a wobble, Vicar.
08:51So?
08:54You're doing proud, eh?
09:05All right, kids.
09:06Hands up who here's lifted a coffin before.
09:12Right, well, this ain't going to look weird at all.
09:36Oh, God's name.
09:44I don't know where else to go.
09:49It's for our Lord to judge you.
09:52Not me.
09:54So don't budge, don't booze,
09:57and keep your mitts out of the collection box.
09:59All right. And whatever you do,
10:01do not let the family see you.
10:05Come on.
10:26Welcome to this celebration of the life of Apollo Foreman.
10:32Paul, to his friends.
10:35For those who are able,
10:37please stand as we receive Paul's coffin into the church.
11:06Is this really happening?
11:09It is, darling.
11:11So chin up.
11:14Chesticles out.
11:16Mum, you can't say chesticles in church.
11:18I just did.
11:20Come on, we've got this.
11:35Come on.
12:03Now this church
12:05St Mary's,
12:07it holds a very special place in our hearts.
12:14A year ago,
12:16today,
12:18Paul could still walk
12:22with a little help.
12:25He could still speak
12:28and sing
12:31and hug.
12:33And on that day,
12:38we got married.
12:42So today,
12:45what are we going to say?
12:46Well,
12:48it isn't goodbye.
12:50It's au revoir.
12:55Because I know that when our time comes,
12:59we will meet Paul.
13:02Paul, again, in heaven.
13:06Paul, as we remember him.
13:10Singing
13:12and dancing
13:14and skinny dipping
13:17to his heart's content.
13:20And I hope that that brings you all as much comfort as it does me.
13:25Now, I could stand here and reel off a list of facts.
13:30You know, born here,
13:32educated there, but
13:34you all know all of that.
13:37And what you don't know,
13:40you could ask his bezzy mate
13:43and twin sister, Gemma.
13:45Or his loyal, feisty mother,
13:49Bernie.
13:51Or his adopted daughter,
13:52Summer, who
13:55he cherished
13:57as if she were his own.
14:00Or his not-so-little brother, Kit,
14:03who arrived out of the blue
14:06and has made a huge impression on Paul
14:09in only a short few months.
14:12So it's not facts that I want to celebrate today.
14:16It's
14:18it's how Paul
14:19made us all feel.
14:23About how he
14:25he lit up a room
14:27when he used to bounce in.
14:30And how he believed
14:32with every atom
14:34of his being
14:36that we are all equal.
14:40How a bishop should be the first one to brew up
14:44or get the drinks in
14:46like every other bod in the school.
14:47Like every other bod in the squad.
14:51Or how
14:53silenced children should be listened to.
14:59And how everything was better with a laugh.
15:05Now I do have a tendency to preach.
15:10But in my defence
15:12it is part of the job description.
15:14Paul used to say
15:15you need to sugar the medicine.
15:18His life was
15:21serious.
15:23Dark
15:24at times.
15:27But he would never
15:29be a victim.
15:32Just like his hero
15:34Jackie Chan, whenever life
15:36chopped him down
15:38he would just get up
15:40again
15:41and again
15:43and again
15:46always with a smile.
15:51Simply put
15:55the universe was a better place
15:59with Apollo Foreman in it.
16:04Now
16:05the naughty step
16:06it wasn't invented
16:07when the twins were at school.
16:09So Paul spent
16:10most of his time
16:11sat outside Mrs. Farnell's office
16:13waiting for the telling off.
16:16Normally for someone I don't.
16:20So in memory of
16:22those more innocent times
16:26we're going to sing this hymn.
16:29All things bright
16:31and beautiful.
16:44You okay, hon?
16:48I suppose you're used to it, aren't you?
16:50Because my family's in the business.
16:54Thirty-four.
16:56It's nothing.
17:06You couldn't have had a better send off, Billy.
17:09I know.
17:11You couldn't have had a better send off, Billy.
17:14Yeah, it was beautiful.
17:15And we're praying for you.
17:17Thanks.
17:23She's just having a moment.
17:26Too much smells and bells.
17:28No.
17:31It's real, that's all.
17:34Yeah, I'd forgotten how much
17:35I love a good sing song, Bill.
17:41Oh, sorry.
17:42No, don't get up.
17:43Sorry.
17:44Is Joseph?
17:46Yeah, no, he's upstairs.
17:49They've got your old dartboard out.
17:51How's he been?
17:52Teary?
17:53No, not at all, you know.
17:55He's such a good kid.
17:57I wonder if our Chesney'd do a swap.
18:00I think Chesney's had enough nappies.
18:02No, no, no, no, no.
18:04He's such a good kid.
18:06I wonder if our Chesney'd do a swap.
18:08Chesney's had enough nappies.
18:11Don't.
18:14I can't stop thinking, you know.
18:17Me too.
18:19Massive news, innit?
18:21My age.
18:23I'm trying not to let that, like,
18:25overshadow everything.
18:27I mean, when you think about it,
18:28it's like a last minute of extra time penalty.
18:33It's a gift.
18:36I can't do it.
18:37I can't do it.
18:40I don't, I don't think
18:42we've got the space.
18:44I don't think we've got the money.
18:46They're not reasons to...
18:47And more than anything,
18:48I don't think I've got the energy to hide.
18:51Why, why don't we just think about it?
18:53I am tired, like, all the time.
18:57I feel rotten in the mornings.
18:59It's only a matter of time before the girls suss
19:01and then our, our hands, it might...
19:04There's, you know,
19:05Hope guessed.
19:07What? So you deny it?
19:09Yeah, I tried.
19:10Well, you didn't try very hard.
19:11I did.
19:12Tyrone, did, did you do that on purpose?
19:15Like, to try...
19:16No, no, no, they, they've promised me
19:18they're not going to blab.
19:19Well, Hope can't hold her own water, can she?
19:22What am I going to say to him now if they're like,
19:25if they're all excited?
19:29What?
19:30What is it? What's that?
19:32Come on.
19:34Don't cover for her, what is it?
19:38I mean, she, she might be minding it for her friend, isn't it?
19:46How dare you?
19:48With your crocodile tears.
19:50I came to show my respect.
19:52Show your respects?
19:54You came to wallow, make it all about yourself.
19:56Straight up.
19:57You couldn't even put a clean shirt on.
19:59You stink like a brewery.
20:01I'm sorry, Billy.
20:03I'll get one of the lads to pat him down
20:04before you chuck him out.
20:06There's no need.
20:07No, do.
20:09He's probably pinched a few purses when he snuck in.
20:12I, er, I told him he could stay.
20:15There was, there was a couple of minutes to go.
20:17He was in a proper state.
20:18I just figured that chucking him out would have caused a scene.
20:21Let her who's without sin cast her first stone, eh?
20:25Is that what your Bible says?
20:26Don't you twist my words.
20:27It's too late.
20:29You've already nailed your colours to the mast.
20:31I'm not picking sides.
20:33So we just sweep all these nasty feelings under a pew?
20:36To keep the focus on Paul.
20:38Exactly.
20:39And have you forgotten what this rat did last time he saw his son?
20:42No.
20:43Oh, he got him bladdered, gave him pneumonia,
20:45tried to steal the wheelchair from underneath him.
20:48As if I'd forget.
20:49It was the wrong body in that coffin, it should have been you.
20:52That is uncalled for.
20:53Yeah, but who be it to mourn you, eh?
20:55A couple of pawnbrokers and the landlord from the Dog and Gun.
20:58You can't help yourself.
20:59Even on a sad day like this.
21:01A beautiful service ruined.
21:03Good work, Denzel, even for you.
21:20Anything?
21:22Anything for a quiet life, eh, Bill?
21:25You're grieving, but you're not daft.
21:28Thank Christ my boy isn't here to see this.
21:31You didn't have the monopoly, Bernie.
21:34Half his life you were off the radar.
21:37You what?
21:39Nearly 15 years.
21:42I was there when it mattered.
21:44It's not a competition.
21:46At the end.
21:48One morning,
21:49on the end of the phone,
21:51compared to the hundreds of mornings that we spent together.
21:55You can lash out all you like, but you can't take those away.
21:59If you say so.
22:01I told him how much I loved him.
22:03He knew that I meant...
22:04He was already dead, Billy!
22:19You're lying to me.
22:21You are.
22:22Bernie, why are you lying?
22:24I shouldn't have said anything.
22:25Now's not the time.
22:27I'm sorry, just...
22:29Wipe it from your brain.
22:30Bernie.
22:31Please, tell me that you're lying.
22:35Look, I'm sorry, Billy, but...
22:37Letting Denny into the funeral like that,
22:40I don't know what to do.
22:42I don't know what to do.
22:44I don't know what to do.
22:46I don't know what to do.
22:47Letting Denny into the funeral like that, it threw me.
22:49You don't know what he did to me.
22:50This isn't a patch on what you're doing to me right now.
22:56It's what you say,
22:58the last time I spoke to him,
23:01when I said my final goodbyes to my Paul.
23:03What? He was...
23:05He was already dead.
23:06Look, this isn't doing anyone any favours.
23:10You're only going to torture yourself.
23:12Really?
23:14I thought that was your job.
23:17We need to get going.
23:20Oh, I wish I didn't know this.
23:23I wish you'd have lied.
23:25Because what I don't know can't hurt me, and this...
23:28This is killing me.
23:30You really are something else.
23:32Do you know that?
23:40No, there's no news yet, I'm afraid, is there?
23:43Is it true, though?
23:45What, that I've definitely had life-saving surgery
23:47while in a foreign country?
23:48Yeah, it is true.
23:50Did she really have liposuction and it went wrong,
23:53and that's the real reason that we've all been fundraising?
23:56Are you joking?
23:57What were that?
23:58Well...
23:59Liposuction?
24:01Where did you hear that?
24:03Well, I was looking on Audrey's social media, and...
24:05Audrey's got social media?
24:07She's posted a message on the company's webpage
24:09having a go at them for what they did to her granddaughter.
24:12You can always rely on a silver surfer for gossip.
24:15Blimey.
24:16She said she's got a lifelong condition
24:19because of what you did.
24:22She must have thought it was a DM.
24:25Well, who died and made you, Jessica Fletcher?
24:31Takes less muscles to smile than frown, you know.
24:34You should try it sometime.
24:35Especially you.
24:36You cheeky little...
24:37Are you looking to get grounded?
24:39What have I done now?
24:41Does this look familiar?
24:42Dunno. What is it?
24:43Oh, don't play innocent with me, Hope Dobbs.
24:45You know exactly what this is. It's a vape.
24:47Oh, yeah.
24:48Looks like the sort the corner shop sell.
24:50Mic drop.
24:51You promised you'd stopped.
24:53What's the biggie?
24:54It's dangerous. That's the biggie.
24:56We've been through all this.
24:57At least I'm not doing drugs.
24:59You'll never guess what Bianca James filmed herself
25:01doing in chemistry last week.
25:03I'm not interested in Bianca James.
25:05I'm interested in you.
25:07I'm not interested in Bianca James, right?
25:10It's really bad for your vaping.
25:12I can't believe you'd waste good money on poisoning your lungs.
25:15No money changed hands.
25:17You what?
25:19What?
25:20You stole this?
25:21Have you seen how much Dev charges?
25:23It's daylight robbery.
25:24You really expect me to pay?
25:25How do you think your nana's gonna react, eh?
25:27Knowing that you've been nicking from her place of work?
25:30I'm gonna take you round there, you're gonna confess
25:32and you're gonna pay it all back.
25:35I can't believe Jenny's made curry egg and a pineapple hedgehog.
25:38Oh, she's very stuck in the 70s, style-wise, is our Jen.
25:41If you're ever trying to emulate a Farrah Fawcett flick, bless her.
25:44Must be like looking in a mirror.
25:46Cheeky.
25:48How long's this free bar going on them?
25:50Until Carla rocks up and asks for her credit card back.
25:53Blimey.
25:54Yeah, she must have been quite fond of Paul.
25:56Yeah.
25:57Poor Janet, eh?
25:59She must be in bits.
26:00Do you know what?
26:01A stage like this makes me glad we've got each other, eh?
26:04You're not wrong, cock.
26:10Benny, have you seen Billy anywhere?
26:13Yeah, yeah, he's right here, wearing one of them invisibility cloaks.
26:17Right.
26:18I won't worry about it, love.
26:20He's often late for stuff, isn't he?
26:22You all right, Benny?
26:23Or maybe he's having a pint with Denny somewhere,
26:27seeing as they're best mates all of a sudden.
26:29Can you not just let that go now?
26:32OK.
26:34Right, total disclosure.
26:38I might have said how,
26:41when he thought that Paul could hear his voice at the end, that...
26:47Um, what?
26:49They'd already passed.
26:52But I didn't mean to.
26:54It's just, I was that riled by seeing him cosy up to your dad.
26:59Oh.
27:00Oh, me and me big mouth.
27:03Um...
27:07And what are you looking at?
27:09I've just laid my son to rest.
27:11Billy's just laid his husband to rest and all.
27:13Oh, sorry.
27:15Didn't realise you'd got a new job.
27:17Eh?
27:18As Billy's cheerleader.
27:20Better get your pom-poms out.
27:23I'm so sorry, love.
27:26Right, I owe you a big drink. What do you want, Bill?
27:29What are you looking so miserable for?
27:31Hmm?
27:33It's meant to be a celebration of Paul's life.
27:35Yeah, come on, Shaunie, line him up.
27:37Throat like a desert wellie.
27:43Might have a beginner's degree.
27:45Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
27:50It's like being out of week.
27:54Go on, then.
27:55Here.
27:56Say something nice about my lovely Paul, Glenda. Go on.
27:59Yes, love.
28:00No, go on. You go first.
28:02Go on, say something nice.
28:04Just don't let him know him, Bill.
28:06Small community.
28:09Well...
28:11..whenever he came in here,
28:13no matter what were going on, he always gave me the biggest smile.
28:17And not everyone does, you know.
28:19And I appreciated it, you know.
28:21Yeah, I do.
28:24Well, go on, then.
28:26Say some things. Remember him.
28:29Reminisce.
28:39Oh, hiya.
28:40Yeah, everyone's taking full advantage of your credit card in there, so...
28:43Oh, that's all right, then.
28:45I was going to come and enjoy him, but I don't think I'm in the mood.
28:48I know the feeling.
28:51I might go to the bistro for a quick one.
28:53Just quiet, you know.
28:54Thanks for coming.
28:55Yeah.
29:04It's just lotsits and them little cheesy biscuits you like.
29:08Smashing.
29:09Should have tied us over till tea.
29:11Mm.
29:13What are we going to do about Hope?
29:15Oh, I don't know.
29:17Can't we just get her a personality transplant?
29:21Oh, I can't cope with it, eh?
29:24It's not easy.
29:25Easy?
29:27When's that girl ever been easy, eh?
29:31Yeah, there shouldn't be reason to give up on this pregnancy.
29:37Do you think I feel like this?
29:39Do you think I feel like this cos I can't cope with Hope?
29:43I can.
29:45That's not why I...
29:50Sorry, I don't...
29:52I don't want to talk about it, it's too much.
29:54Right, OK, OK.
29:58So you are, like, conflicted...
30:00Of course I am, yes!
30:03But I don't think we've got any choice.
30:05Well, we've got two. We've got two choices.
30:09We can't keep this baby.
30:14I'm sorry, I wish things were different, I do, but they're not, so...
30:24On your face
30:28You were content to let me shine
30:33That's your way
30:36You always walked a step behind
30:43I used to like this one, you know?
30:46Used to get me to sing it at night
30:48Did I ever tell you you're my...
30:51He's got a lovely voice.
30:54Bit pitchy.
30:56And everything I would like to...
30:58Do you think he's all right?
31:00Are any of us all right, Gemma?
31:03Probably not.
31:05We just have to find a way to move forward.
31:13Go talk to him.
31:16Seriously.
31:17Make it right.
31:19I'm the last person he wants to talk to.
31:22Is he?
31:25Listen, why don't I walk you home, eh? I'll make you a nice cup of tea.
31:29Well, I could take you back to your flat, you know, we could have a chat.
31:33You didn't waste any time, did you?
31:35Eh?
31:37Come on, just have a little laugh.
31:39What are you trying to molly call me for?
31:41I'm here to babysit, so...
31:48What are you all looking at?
31:50I've got a telly on me head.
31:52Billy, where are you going?
31:54I'm going home.
31:57I'm going to get on Grindr.
32:00Oh, come on, I'm just having a laugh.
32:02Probably a laugh for that, you know, cos...
32:05I've got a sense of humour in that, you miserable lot.
32:09Will you go after him?
32:11Go on, Tod, he needs a friend.
32:16Yeah, it's all unfair, isn't it?
32:18The good ones always go first.
32:20Mm.
32:21I must be evil.
32:23Snap.
32:24Hm.
32:27I've only just got married, you know.
32:30Oh, I don't know why I'm feeling so sorry for myself.
32:32I mean, there's a pub up the road that's full of people much worse off than me,
32:36and I can't even face them today.
32:39Well, we'll just hunker down here, then.
32:41Hunker in our bunker?
32:43Yeah.
32:44Hunker in our bunker.
32:49There you are.
32:51Come on, let's get you back to the flat.
32:53No, I want to go back.
32:55What's the point of going back?
32:58The house is a mug.
33:00He's had to shave, he's battered old trainers, but there's no Paul.
33:06We can't stop here forever.
33:09It's not south-facing, for a start.
33:12And where are you going to hang all your heavenly prints?
33:14You know, the ones with all the inspirational sayings?
33:17In this house, we...
33:18Live, laugh, load.
33:21Load.
33:32The last thing that Paul heard me say
33:36can't have been for me to go and find my phone, can it?
33:40Could be worse, you know.
33:42Could have been having a row, and the last thing he said was bugger off.
33:46Screw you, Paul Foreman.
33:48Screw you.
33:50Well...
33:53You've got to count your blessings.
33:55Maybe he chose to go when he wanted to go.
33:59Maybe like that was the last thing he said.
34:02Normal, every day.
34:04Not some Steven Spielberg moment with a full orchestra and fireworks
34:09and a crying dog.
34:12I just felt so guilty about missing his final moments.
34:18The only thing stopping me from spiralling
34:21was knowing that he'd heard me on the phone.
34:28I don't even have that.
34:32You know, without that, what have I got, you know?
34:38Your good friend low-cost vodka.
34:40It is a bit.
34:48I always thought that hope was only a heartbeat away.
34:55Because without hope, you know what?
34:58What have we got? You know what?
35:00What is the opposite of hope?
35:04Fear.
35:06What's there to be frightened of?
35:08The worst that's happened.
35:11It's despair.
35:18It's despair.
35:35There we go. I'll swap you.
35:37Oh, thanks, love. Very much to her.
35:39Well, I'm glad that you made it, eh?
35:41A send-off wouldn't be a send-off without Weatherfield royalty.
35:44And I'm staring her right in the face.
35:46Gemma's practically part of my flesh and blood.
35:49As was Paul, her twin.
35:52We lived together for a bit.
35:55And I have no reason sometimes, is there?
36:00Is Dave all right over there?
36:02Oh, you don't want to know, cock. I'll leave you to it.
36:05Wish your gran had hurry up and get here.
36:08Why?
36:09Well, it's ironic, don't you think?
36:12All right, Alanis Morissette, keep your wig on.
36:14Don't let him wind you up.
36:16Well, ironic that our Paul died and did nothing wrong,
36:20and yet your family are passing the cap round
36:23to raise funds for Bethany,
36:25and surprise, surprise, she brought it all on herself.
36:28Hey, that's bang out of order, that, Bernie.
36:30Is it? Are you sure about that?
36:32Only I didn't realise that liposuction
36:35was a life-saving treatment.
36:37She's gravely ill. Does it matter how she got there?
36:40First-class flights and a tote full of sun cream, from what I've heard.
36:43Yeah, don't rise to it, yeah? She's grieving.
36:45Railing!
36:46That's what I am.
36:48I am railing at the injustice of it all.
36:51Hey, you want to get your money back off these charlatans?
36:54Well, there's no need.
36:56Yeah, give it to an MND charity instead.
36:59Go on, ask for it back.
37:01Oh!
37:02Oh, here she is, the whistleblower.
37:05Oh, sorry, what have I missed?
37:07Bernie, my love, I am so sorry for your loss.
37:10I'd get your handbag out if I was you, girl.
37:13I've got one word to say to you.
37:15Refund!
37:17When you messaged the company that Bethany used...
37:20You know, for the lipo?
37:23Yeah, when you thought you were DMing them, you weren't.
37:26You sent it publicly, so everybody saw it.
37:29Really? Yeah.
37:31Oof!
37:33Oh, heck, David.
37:37Let's take the weight off, eh?
37:40And breathe.
37:52You've drunk it all.
38:00My favourite word at the moment.
38:02Yeah, you and Oliver Twist.
38:07HE SIGHS
38:17You know...
38:19..Paul died...
38:21..knowing he was loved.
38:24Knowing he was loved by you.
38:27And that final moment was...
38:32..just that.
38:34Just one tiny little moment...
38:37..amidst millions of moments across your relationship.
38:42Like a big, massive jigsaw with...
38:45..so many pieces.
38:49And that was just one little corner.
38:53You really shouldn't beat yourself up about it.
39:00This jigsaw might be finished.
39:04But it's perfect...
39:07..when you step back and look at it.
39:10And you... I've got so much to live for now.
39:15One day you'll see, Billy, the world's your oyster.
39:20And it'll be there with you...
39:22..just in a different way.
39:26You really are too kind.
39:29I never thought I'd say that about you.
39:31Don't be ridiculous, it's all an act.
39:33It's just my job.
39:37I'm a closet nice guy.
39:43I just want you to be happy.
39:47What are you doing?
39:52I don't know, I just... I thought...
39:54Billy, no. No, this is not what you want.
39:57Not at all.
40:00Look, Grant, nothing could be worse than what's going on here,
40:04so come on, just spit it out.
40:06Everybody knows the truth.
40:09Everybody knows that Bethany's over there to get liposuction.
40:14And, um, there's quite a few that aren't happy
40:17because they've been given money they feel on false presences, you know?
40:21How did they find out?
40:23I am sorry, I won't tell you.
40:26How did they find out?
40:28I am sorry, I was only just trying to help.
40:31Oh, Grant, what did you do?
40:33Well, I DM'd on the company's website,
40:36complaining about what had gone on.
40:39But it wasn't a DM.
40:41I put it on the clinic wall and my wall for everyone to see.
40:46Well, David thinks I need a digital detox.
40:49I'm sorry, sweetheart, I was trying to help, honestly.
40:52I mean, how bad is it? Can the clinic not delete the post?
40:56Um, well, they have.
40:58Oh, well, that's good.
41:00Yes, but there have been some screen thingies.
41:03Screenshots.
41:05Yes, and...
41:07And?
41:09Well, some nasty comments.
41:11Right.
41:13I actually had to look up a few of the words.
41:16Bethany's going to have to face the wrath of the pub crowd
41:19when she gets back, along with fighting pneumonia and sepsis.
41:25Of course, I've thought about it.
41:28I've thought about nothing else.
41:31I've pictured how...
41:34how it could all look, like...
41:37five years from now.
41:40Or ten.
41:42Or 20.
41:44And it's... it's too much.
41:48It wouldn't be fair on the new little one and it wouldn't be fair on us.
41:52We've already got enough plates to spin.
41:56We're barely keeping our heads above water as it is.
42:03We are not at the right point in our lives to have a new baby, Ty.
42:07We're not.
42:09And I think you'd normally agree with me, I do, but...
42:13Dorian, he's... he's put you in a spin.
42:19Yeah.
42:21Yeah, for my sake.
42:23I've been using all this news as a bit of a distraction from Dorian.
42:28But I get it. I do.
42:31I get it.
42:33So, er...
42:35Why did you even come back here?
42:37To check you were OK.
42:39You're just fluttering your eyelashes.
42:42I saw you.
42:44I'm surprised you've even kept the keks on this long.
42:47I'm a grieving woman.
42:49I'm a grieving woman.
42:51I'm a grieving woman.
42:53I'm a grieving woman.
42:55I'm a grieving woman.
42:57I'm a grieving woman.
42:59I'm a grieving woman.
43:01I'm a grieving woman.
43:03Why'd you even keep the keks on this long? I'm a grieving widower.
43:06I know you are. I'm talking about...
43:08Jigsaws. Trying to butter me up.
43:10I didn't misread the signs.
43:13You just got stage fright.
43:15There's no need to be like that, Billy.
43:17Stop being so flaming reasonable!
43:20Get out!
43:22You don't mean that. No, don't I?
43:24Do you? Get out!
43:26Please!
43:33Please.
43:47I'm sorry.
43:51I'm so sorry.
