00:00¶¶
00:29Give it a rest, will you?
00:31You've had it on all weekend.
00:32Nothing else to do.
00:34Look, I know how you feel,
00:35but there's no point flouting off
00:36just because Mum's getting on your nerves.
00:38She's been doing that for the last 30 years, hasn't she?
00:40You saying you don't want me around?
00:41Look, if you want to stay here, that's fine.
00:43It's only an empty house.
00:44Yeah, well, don't worry about me,
00:45because I'm leaving today.
00:47All right.
00:48Well, don't forget to stop off at the florist on the way home,
00:50will you?
00:51I ain't going home.
00:53I booked a flight for tonight.
00:55I'm going to Cyprus.
00:57Listen, I'm going out.
00:58Do you need anything?
00:59No, I don't know what to do with myself.
01:01I can't stand him.
01:02He's not knowing what the hell's going on.
01:04Waiting for him to show his face.
01:05Oh, no.
01:06He hasn't got the guts to come and apologise.
01:08That's what it is.
01:09I'm ashamed of him.
01:10What will you say when he does come back?
01:12What can I say?
01:13I can't even forgive him.
01:15And that brother of his is no better.
01:17He must have taken Grant's side,
01:18otherwise he'd have been round by now.
01:20Sorry, am I interrupting?
01:22The dog needs walking.
01:23Do you mind?
01:24She didn't get out properly yesterday.
01:27I know I don't need to tell you this, Tiff,
01:29but I don't want anyone to hear about this, all right?
01:34Well, Tiff and Mum are going to love this, aren't they?
01:36They get left in the lurch
01:37while you go and get yourself a suntan.
01:39They'll manage.
01:40And I'm here to take the flak.
01:42You are going to go and see them before you go, aren't you?
01:44I don't want them to know about it until I get out there.
01:46Look, all I'm saying is grit your teeth,
01:48let them yak on at you,
01:49and then leave.
01:50That's what I'd do.
01:51Yeah, we ain't talking about you, are we?
01:52And this is just down to a row with Mum.
01:54I told you.
01:55I know what you told me.
01:56I don't want to talk about it, all right?
01:57I can see I'm wasting my breath.
01:58Yeah, you are.
02:00Got any bright ideas what I should tell them?
02:04Martin, just let me see your time, will you?
02:06You can't go like that.
02:07Oh, Mum, leave it.
02:09Oi!
02:11Morning, Miss Farley.
02:12When are you likely to be seeing Nigel?
02:14We open at 11 sharp.
02:15Can I have a video for you?
02:16Look, will you stand still?
02:18You're making me feel dizzy.
02:19I can't, I'm afraid.
02:20I have to keep the blood circulating.
02:21It's not aerobics.
02:22Can I just keep the heart going?
02:23Yeah, all right, I take your point.
02:25Well, will you tell him I want to speak to him about Dot, OK?
02:27Consider it done, Miss Farley.
02:31How are you, Mark?
02:32Have you seen Ruth?
02:33No.
02:34Oh, I'm really sorry.
02:35Well, it's not your fault.
02:36It's my dad's fault.
02:37It's not right you be Napoleon's while he's at your place.
02:40I feel like it would have been better if you'd never met any of us.
02:42Don't be daft.
02:43This has got nothing to do with you two.
02:45Anyway, I'm going to try and talk to her later on.
02:48I can't leave it like this.
02:49Really hope it goes well.
02:50Thanks.
02:51I see they've got you walking the dog now.
02:53Well, somebody has to.
02:54The ground's disappeared and the atmosphere all weekend's been like somebody's died.
02:57Well, whatever it is, it'll blow over.
02:59Hiya.
03:00See, that's what I've got to deal with.
03:03Tiff, you all right?
03:04Yeah, I'm fine, yeah.
03:06Come on, I've seen that face before.
03:07What's the matter?
03:08Nothing.
03:09I just had a bad night at company, that's all.
03:10Tiff?
03:11Yeah, I'm really busy.
03:12I'll see you later, yeah?
03:15I feel like some sort of jinx.
03:16I go and live somewhere and the next thing you know, disaster strikes.
03:19It's not you.
03:20People around here fall out without any help.
03:24Could you do me a slice?
03:29I thought we were speaking again.
03:31We are.
03:32Maybe we should talk about what you're going to do.
03:34I know what I'm going to do.
03:36I'm fine.
03:37You don't sound fine just now, really.
03:38Ow!
03:41Come on now, let me help you.
03:42Look, it's OK.
03:44I'll see to it.
03:48All right?
03:49All right.
03:50Oh, I couldn't do us a favour, could you?
03:51Winston says he's got a load of these boxes.
03:54Are you bringing some down for me?
03:55No, I'm on my way to school.
03:56Funny, I could have sworn you were hanging around not doing anything.
04:01My mistake.
04:02Thanks.
04:03Hang on.
04:09Ready now?
04:10I suppose.
04:16Morning.
04:17Hiya.
04:18Are you around tonight?
04:19Oh, I'm working.
04:20Oh, that's not a brush-off, is it?
04:21No, I'm working every evening.
04:22If it was a brush-off, I'd be more vague.
04:23I'd just say I was really busy.
04:25I'll try and remember that.
04:26You've got to listen carefully.
04:27Pick up on all the clues.
04:29So, when am I going to see you?
04:31Soon.
04:34So we're at this guy's house, right?
04:36When his girl walks in and tells him that she's tired,
04:38she wants the music off and can we go now?
04:40I mean, just like that.
04:42So?
04:43So we reckon she's a bit of a killjoy.
04:45Got him under her thumb.
04:46Come on, mate, we need to go.
04:47We've got some business to discuss.
04:50You've got to talk about the gig over at Irene and Terry's reception.
04:52Mate, you're not discussing business.
04:53You're telling boring stories and I've got better things to do.
04:56Come on, Mick, we need to get some stuff for Karl.
04:58Hang on, then.
04:59OK.
05:00See you in a bit later, maybe, yeah?
05:03I thought I saw you coming here.
05:04What's up?
05:05Is it tight to do with Mary?
05:06I've told you.
05:07No, you ain't.
05:08What's the problem?
05:09There's been a big rant.
05:10You and Grant?
05:11He ain't hit you again, has he?
05:12No, of course he ain't.
05:13Well, what then?
05:14It was Grant and Peggy.
05:16He stumped her and he ain't been back all weekend.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Well, I've told you now and I don't want to talk about it any more.
05:23So what's the Iron Manager like?
05:25His name's Meakin and he's a real stickler.
05:27Will you stop jiggling about like that?
05:29It's like you've got ants in your pants.
05:31I'm warming down.
05:32Stan says...
05:33Don't mind what Stan says.
05:34You need mental aerobics here, not physical.
05:36What?
05:37Look, you've got to impress Meakin, Robbie, or you could be out.
05:40Now, first, talk to him about our accountant.
05:42I've never met our accountant.
05:44I should have introduced you. It's a bit too late now.
05:46Well, talk about the distributors.
05:49Nigel, have a word.
05:50It's not really the best time.
05:53I've got to turn Robbie here into Richard Branson by lunch.
05:56I really need to talk to you. It's important.
05:58OK.
05:59Not yet.
06:00Right, my place.
06:01Nigel!
06:02Don't worry, I'll be back.
06:03Nigel.
06:05Don't be long!
06:08Every time that door opens, I think it's Grant.
06:11I can still feel his hand on my face.
06:13Here, look, it's me you was angry with.
06:15Look, I need to talk to him.
06:16Get in line. I'm talking to him first.
06:18I mean, I've got to go round there and talk to him.
06:20No, Tiff, he's got to make the first move.
06:22Look, I need to see him. He's my husband.
06:24I need to know what's going on.
06:25First, you must come in here and apologise,
06:27and then we'll take it from there.
06:29What if he wants to talk things through?
06:30I mean, he might need my help.
06:31He shouldn't need any help.
06:33He doesn't need you, nor Phil, or anyone else
06:35to tell him that he's done wrong.
06:37Oh, I'm sorry, love.
06:39I mean, you and me, we shouldn't fight.
06:41If you really want to go round there, I can't stop you.
06:44But I'm asking you not to.
06:46I'm wanting to do the decent thing.
06:48Please.
06:50All right.
06:51A bit early for our big goodbye, isn't it?
06:53Nigel, I need to talk to you.
06:54Yeah? Good.
06:55Ah, I think this must be to get some things.
06:57Nah, a computer.
06:59Or is it the microwave?
07:00Nigel.
07:01Definitely the microwave.
07:02Nig.
07:03What?
07:05I'm leaving.
07:06What do you mean, you're leaving?
07:08I'm going to Cyprus.
07:09Oh, what, you and Tiff going to see your mate from the Paris?
07:13No, not exactly.
07:14What then?
07:16It's just me going.
07:17She doesn't even know about it yet.
07:19I need to talk to someone who understands.
07:22And this mate of mine, well, he's seen me at my worst.
07:25What do you mean, at your worst?
07:26What's going on?
07:27I don't really want to talk about it.
07:29I just need a break.
07:31What from?
07:33I'm just sick of being stuck in the Vic.
07:35Why?
07:37It's the three of them.
07:38Mum, Tiffany, even Courtney.
07:40It's like I can't handle being with them all the time.
07:43They're running my life.
07:44Well, those are the three people you're supposed to love most in your life.
07:47Yeah.
07:48Well, maybe that's the hard part.
07:50Well, have a night out with Phil, let some steam off.
07:54What's happened?
07:56What have you done, Grant?
07:59I had a row with Mum.
08:01Yeah?
08:02It was serious.
08:04Go on.
08:05Look, I don't want to talk about it.
08:07I haven't even told Phil about this.
08:09It sounds like you need to talk about it.
08:12I hit her across the face.
08:14Who?
08:15Mum.
08:17I hit her.
08:20Listen, do you fancy a bit of lunch later in the Vic?
08:22Yeah, that'd be great.
08:23I saw Tiff earlier, I was telling her I love you.
08:25Yeah, well, I get that a lot, don't I?
08:26Don't be big-headed!
08:28Listen, there's something I want to talk to you about later.
08:30What?
08:31I'll see you later.
08:32OK.
08:33Oh, it's the travel men, isn't it?
08:34They never just come out and say stuff.
08:36What?
08:37You all right? You don't look very with it.
08:39Yeah, I'm fine.
08:40Is it your day off?
08:41Yeah.
08:42Looking for anything in particular?
08:43Erm, let's not let it go, OK?
08:45Look, Ruth, stop a minute.
08:47I don't want to interfere, but...
08:48We're done.
08:49OK?
08:55I just lost it.
08:57I just lost control.
08:58But your mother?
08:59You must have been out of your mind.
09:01I was.
09:02I just exploded, I couldn't help it.
09:04When did this happen?
09:05Last week.
09:06She threw me out, I've been staying at Phil's ever since.
09:08And you haven't been back since?
09:11I know.
09:13I messed up and I can't fix it.
09:15And that's why it's best for everybody if I just go.
09:17Well, I don't think she's going to agree with you.
09:19Yeah, well, I ain't going to tell her.
09:21Why not?
09:22Because I can't handle it.
09:24I just feel like putting a few hundred miles between us.
09:27That's pathetic.
09:29Yeah, well, I didn't come here for this.
09:30Well, what did you expect?
09:31Did you think I was going to say,
09:32yeah, your mum can be a real pain?
09:34Good on you.
09:36You've got to take a hard look at yourself, Grant.
09:38This temper of yours,
09:39it's not like it's just some bad habit you can live with.
09:41It's ruining your life.
09:43I know.
09:45I'm not proud of myself.
09:46I give up.
09:47I just don't get it.
09:48I need you to do...
09:49Don't ask me to help you.
09:50I'm not interested.
09:51Nigel, you're the only one I concern,
09:52so I need you to do me a favour.
09:55I think it's important for the band that we can all work together.
09:58I don't have to like him.
09:59I don't want to be stuck in the middle between you two.
10:01If you're going to come between me and my friends,
10:02that's going to be difficult.
10:03Look, I'm not asking you to choose between us.
10:05That's not what I'm saying.
10:07You think you're more mature than him, don't you?
10:09Of course I am.
10:10Then prove it, then.
10:11How?
10:13Your mum's dragged her off to buy a bridesmaid's dress.
10:15She'll have her looking like a milkmaid in old frills and cleavage.
10:18I thought she'd look good in this.
10:21Nah, it's not really you.
10:22Yeah, still, maybe we could find something for him.
10:24Something more colourful?
10:25Yeah, don't worry, I know his tastes.
10:26Do you? We should swap notes.
10:28How about lunch at the Vic?
10:29It's a bit early, isn't it?
10:30I think Tony's suddenly got hungry.
10:32Are you coming? Yeah?
10:33See you around.
10:34I look forward to it.
10:36Nigel, I did probably give you my message.
10:39What message? I can't stop falling into something I've got to do.
10:41It won't take long. Come on.
10:42Really, I've got a lot on. We talked earlier.
10:44Look, it's about Doc. Come on.
10:48Where are you going?
10:50I need something to eat.
10:51We can have something here, together.
10:54I'll go get some air.
10:55Well, I'll open a window.
10:56Nah.
10:58It's important for someone who's sick to be independent, right?
11:00Yes. I see what you mean.
11:03So let me get out and get a drink and something to eat.
11:05Yeah, all right.
11:06But you will be careful, won't you?
11:08No. I haven't been caught yet, have I?
11:10Here. Couldn't bung us a tenner, could you?
11:20Cheers, Ma.
11:22See you later.
11:24When did you last see her?
11:26I called round Thursday, but there was no answer.
11:28When I went round, she said she wasn't up to seeing visitors.
11:31Doc's always up to seeing visitors.
11:33Yeah, that's what I thought, but I didn't insist.
11:35I thought there was no point in panicking over nothing, is there?
11:38Panicking? No.
11:40What?
11:42I thought I'd scared him off. I saw him about a month ago.
11:44I told him if I saw him again, I'd get the police on to him.
11:46Who?
11:47Nick.
11:48You've seen Nick? Have you told her?
11:51Well, no.
11:52Well, why not?
11:54Well, for two years now, she's been getting used to him not being part of her life.
11:57I didn't want to mess that up.
11:59We'd better get round, then.
12:01I'll go.
12:03This is turning into a busy day.
12:06We want to hear all about it.
12:07Come on.
12:08All right, let me just get a drink.
12:11Orange juice, please.
12:12You're looking very happy.
12:14Matthew putting a smile on your face, is he?
12:16What does that mean?
12:17Oh, I'm just trying to be friendly.
12:19You're not upset about what happened between him and me, are you?
12:21Why should I be?
12:22Well, I just wouldn't want there to be a problem between us.
12:25You know that he and I...
12:26It's not.
12:27There's more to a relationship than that.
12:29Absolutely.
12:30I'm fine about it.
12:34You all right?
12:35Course.
12:36See this smile?
12:38I swear the assistants were trying not to laugh when they saw me in some of those things.
12:41Oh, I'm getting flashbacks.
12:43All right, there was this one.
12:44It was red and shiny, and she said I looked like a princess.
12:46I mean, I thought I looked like a big fat tomato.
12:48I think this is a girl thing.
12:49Let's get round, then, yeah?
12:50All right, and the thing is, Simon had this really classy suit he showed me this morning.
12:53Yeah, we saw it.
12:54Tony was modelling it.
12:55Tony and Simon seem like good mates.
12:56Aren't they living together?
12:57Yeah, with our mum and his dad.
12:59It didn't work out.
13:00Yeah, it's good we're close, isn't it?
13:02I mean, you know, we can talk about anything, you and me, can't we?
13:05Course we can.
13:06Just come on.
13:07Look, I want to ask you something.
13:09The truth is, it's been on my mind for a while.
13:13Do you think it's time we tried for another baby?
13:18Robbie, is everything all right?
13:20Everything's perfect.
13:22Why are you looking so smug?
13:23Mickey's already been and gone.
13:25What?
13:26He's asked me to take over as active manager until he can find someone to step in.
13:29I'm management, Nigel. I'm a boss.
13:31That's great. Are you sure?
13:33Of course I'm sure.
13:34Well, congratulations, Robbie. I'm really pleased of you.
13:37Thanks.
13:38I'll see you later. Bye.
13:39Have you ever thought about a time management course?
13:44Last week at the cemetery, I was thinking,
13:47I should be a dad.
13:49I should be with you at the hospital, holding Natasha.
13:53It started me looking at the future.
13:55Yeah, I know what you mean.
13:56Do you?
13:57I still think about Natasha every day.
14:00I feel like it might be all right to move on now.
14:02Well, that's how I've been thinking.
14:04I don't know if I'm ready to try again.
14:07It hurt me so much.
14:08Well, it wouldn't happen again. It couldn't happen to us twice.
14:11If it did, I couldn't stand it.
14:13I'd feel like I failed twice.
14:14It's got nothing to do with failing.
14:16Look, we can plan it this time.
14:18We'll do everything the doctor said.
14:20So what do you think?
14:23I think you might be right.
14:25We could put it off forever, and I don't want to do that.
14:27Great.
14:28But you do realise I've got to take folic acid for a month
14:30before I come off the pill?
14:32What are you laughing at? It's meant to be serious.
14:34I know it is. I'm going to have to enjoy it, though, aren't I?
14:37So why don't we go out later and celebrate, eh?
14:40Well, my husband Mark is HIV positive,
14:42so I've decided to come and find out when I stand.
14:46And why now in particular?
14:48Oh, I don't think I'm at risk in anything.
14:50I've been really careful.
14:51So?
14:52Well, I just want to confirm that I'm clear.
14:54How does Mark feel about you having the test?
14:57Well, I haven't told him.
14:59Look, it's really simple.
15:01Our relationship's over, and as I say,
15:03I just want to know where I stand, so I can move on.
15:06Have you met somebody else?
15:08Well, there was someone, but he's no important.
15:11He was just a bit scared of the fact that I'd been with Mark
15:14and Mark was HIV.
15:15I mean, I know that's just ignorance, but...
15:17How did that make you feel?
15:21Ah, Mum, I saw you with Ruth this morning.
15:24I told you to leave it alone, didn't I?
15:26I don't want to leave it alone. I want you two to work it out.
15:29We can't.
15:30Why not?
15:31I don't know.
15:32You have to work at it.
15:33Oh, explain that one to me, will you, Mum?
15:35How do you work at staying in love with someone?
15:40Tiff, he needs a couple of things.
15:43When's he coming back?
15:45Well, haven't you got a message for me?
15:47I think you should go and see him.
15:48What's he playing at?
15:49Go ask him yourself. He's given me a list.
15:51He's told me where everything is.
15:52Can I just go up? I don't want to run into Mrs M.
15:55Go on, then.
16:02What's up? And where's Grant?
16:04He's at Phil's.
16:05How come?
16:06There's been a big row.
16:07He ain't at you again?
16:08No, and don't even start to give me a big lecture
16:10cos I could do without it right now.
16:12I'm not interrupting anything, am I?
16:14Er, no.
16:15I'll go upstairs, love. I need a bit of a rest.
16:17I'm not just there.
16:18Why not? It's not that busy in here. You'll be fine.
16:20I only need half an hour.
16:22There might be a big rush.
16:23What's wrong with you? There's never a rush at this time.
16:26Yeah, but...
16:27Oh, you can manage.
16:29What's the problem?
16:30I wouldn't know where to start.
16:32Orange juice?
16:33No, I can't stop.
16:36Right, well, I'll leave you to it, then.
16:39Has Grant been in?
16:40No, Nigel's here picking up some stuff for him.
16:43What's going on with Phil?
16:44Don't drag me into this. I just said he could stay for a few days.
16:47He hasn't told you what's happened, has he?
16:49He's hardly said a word.
16:50Anyway, I only came in to see if he'd talk or not.
16:52Phil, I thought you might want to talk to me.
17:07What are you doing here?
17:08I was just...
17:09He sent you round, has he?
17:10He wanted me to get him a few things.
17:12Why? How long does he stand at Phil's?
17:14I don't know exactly.
17:16So you do whatever he says, is that it?
17:18Do you know what he did?
17:20Has he told you?
17:21He's gutted, Mrs Hamer.
17:23Yeah, and so am I.
17:24Why isn't he here telling me himself?
17:26I think he's too ashamed.
17:28So now you're defending him.
17:29Well, I'm disappointed in you, Nigel.
17:31You should have told him to come round and apologise,
17:33not start doing his errands for him.
17:35I tried to talk to him.
17:36He shouldn't be talking family business with you anyway.
17:38And you can tell him he needn't bother coming back
17:41unless he's learnt how to behave.
17:43Do you hear?
17:45I wonder how you'd feel towards Mark if the test was positive.
17:48Well, at least we'd have more in common.
17:50Yes, you would.
17:52Would you tell Mark if it was positive?
17:54Look, I really don't want to have this discussion.
17:56I'll think about it when I get the result.
17:59Whatever relationship you now have with Mark, this will affect it.
18:02How do you think he'll feel about you taking the test?
18:04Look, I'm not here for counselling.
18:06I just want the test.
18:08All right, Ruth, I'll send you on to the doctor to have some blood taken.
18:11You'll have to come back tomorrow for the test result.
18:14Are you sure you want to do this?
18:17Yeah.
18:19Oh, er, here's your passport.
18:23What happened?
18:24I saw Peggy. She's really angry.
18:26She can't believe you're still here.
18:28Yeah, well, I can't face her. I just can't do it.
18:31Well, you're going to have to sometime.
18:34Yeah, well, I can handle sometimes.
18:36It's right now I can't deal with.
18:38Are you interested in Tiff at all?
18:40What about her?
18:41Oh, nothing.
18:42She's just wondering what her husband is doing, that's all.
18:44Yeah, well, she's used to that.
18:46Come on.
18:47Look, Nigel, I don't expect you to understand.
18:50Everybody you know is going to be sad to see you go.
18:53I mean, who's going to miss me, eh?
18:54I am.
18:55You're well shot, mate.
18:57Why do you think I've hung around with you all these years?
18:59You're my best mate.
19:01Who else could get away with calling you pathetic?
19:04I think this is where we're supposed to hug.
19:06Don't push it.
19:08Well, look, I've got to...
19:10I've got a problem with Dot. I've got to sort things out.
19:12Same old Nigel.
19:15I hope things work out for you.
19:17You've got a great wife, beautiful baby.
19:19Don't blow it, Grant.
19:21Look, thanks for everything, mate.
19:24Judy's great as well and I know you'll be happy.
19:26Because you deserve it.
19:34Right.
19:36Good luck, yeah?
19:38Yeah.
19:41Have you got any isotonic drinks?
19:43Iso-what?
19:44Never mind.
19:45I'll have an orange juice and one for yourself.
19:47Oh, are you celebrating?
19:48Yes, I am.
19:49Then mine's a pint.
19:51You are looking at the new acting manager of the video shop.
19:53Great. Does this mean no more sit-ups while trying to watch a telly?
19:56What do you mean?
19:57Well, you can take it easy, mate.
19:58Now you've been promoted, you can slow down a bit.
20:00Your problem, you see, is you're just not managing material.
20:03A healthy staff is an efficient staff.
20:05I reckon I'll have to step up the exercises now.
20:08There's a floor there, Robbie.
20:09What?
20:10Well, you haven't got any staff, have you?
20:12It's just you.
20:13Are you all right on your own for a bit?
20:14Sure. Is everything OK?
20:15Yeah, fine.
20:16So where's Grant, then?
20:18See? This is what I'm telling you.
20:19It's not efficient being understaffed.
20:21Robbie?
20:22Yes?
20:23Shut up.
20:26Who is it?
20:27It's me, Nigel. Can I come in?
20:29Not now. I've got a migraine.
20:31Is that the same one you had last week?
20:33Yes.
20:34Listen, Mrs C, I'm not going away until you let me in.
20:36We're worried about you.
20:39You'd better come in, then.
20:41Well?
20:42What's on your mind?
20:44Well, I just wanted to make sure you're all right.
20:46You are all right, aren't you?
20:47Always the thoughtful one.
20:48Only it's not like you to turn guests away, is it?
20:50I'd rather not have visitors
20:52tell me home and body in a fit state to receive them.
20:54What are you looking for?
20:55Nothing. Sorry, go on.
20:57Well, a new home deserves new china
20:59and oysters in tip-top physical condition.
21:01Otherwise, how can I welcome my guests properly?
21:03Yeah, I know, but...
21:04Good. Then I won't keep you.
21:06Only I'm leaving soon, as you know.
21:08Yes, you must be rushed off your feet.
21:09Well, I'd like to see you before I go.
21:11Oh, I don't know, Nigel.
21:12You know my health.
21:13On a knife edge, at the best of times.
21:15Mrs C, have I done something to upset you?
21:17Don't be silly.
21:18Only I'm only fussing about you because I care about you.
21:20You've been like a mother to me.
21:21Yes, well, we've both got lots of things we ought to do.
21:24Are you sure you're all right?
21:25Fine. Goodbye, Nigel.
21:38He was a little angel, wasn't he?
21:40I've just been thinking about my birthday party.
21:43Hard to believe it's only a month ago, isn't it?
21:47I couldn't have been happier that day.
21:49My boys go into all that trouble.
21:51Then there, George by my side, Grant.
21:55There, they've all gone.
21:56Look, you should be proud of how you dealt with George.
21:59As soon as you knew he was lying to you, you got shot of him
22:01and Grant will be back.
22:02That's the trouble with being a mother.
22:04No matter what they say, what they do, you still love them.
22:07Yeah, but he's lucky to have a mother like you.
22:09That's not what he thinks.
22:10He must hate me.
22:11No, he doesn't.
22:12You mustn't think that.
22:13You know what he's like.
22:14He gets in a rage.
22:15He lashes out.
22:16Like he did with you at Christmas?
22:19Maybe I shouldn't be surprised.
22:21It runs in the family.
22:22Peggy.
22:24Are you scared of him?
22:25No.
22:26He's got his gentle side, his sweet side.
22:29I promised it would never happen again.
22:32I thought I could work things out with him, help him deal with his temper.
22:35I tried to imagine my life without him and I just couldn't.
22:39And now?
22:40All I know is that he needs me.
22:42I think he finds it hard to talk to you and Phil sometimes.
22:45Well, he should thank his lucky stars he's got you.
22:48Well, I still want it to work.
22:50And that's why I've got to go around there.
22:52I thought that's where this was going.
22:54You understand, don't you?
22:56I've said it myself, haven't I?
22:58You're good for him.
22:59He'll listen to you.
23:01He'll listen, all right.
23:05Bye.
23:21Don't you think you'd better check with Peggy before you just march back in?
23:25Well, come on, you've got a lot to sort out with your mum.
23:28I'm not coming home.
23:30Grant?
23:31You'd better come in.
23:35£9,000?
23:36It's because I ain't licensed.
23:38The bloke flogging these drugs is taking a risk.
23:40He could go inside for saving people's lives.
23:42You tell me who he is and I'll go and get him for you.
23:44Oh, no.
23:45I can't do it.
23:46My guy won't sell to a stranger, especially some old girl he's never met.
23:49He thinks it's a set-up.
23:50The only way around it is to give me the cash.
23:52I don't know, Nick.
23:55You don't trust me, do you?
23:56What's the name of these pills again?
23:58Diofluorazine.
23:59Diofluorazine.
24:02So, what did you say?
24:05Well, I'm your mother, ain't I?
24:07I'll do what I have to do.
24:09Yeah.
24:10I knew you'd come through.
24:11You always do.
24:14Yeah, false alarm.
24:15No sign of Nick.
24:16Her main worry was buying some new china.
24:19So, she's fine then?
24:21Yeah.
24:22There was something.
24:23She seemed a bit off with me.
24:24Like I'd offended her somehow.
24:27Well, maybe she just feels funny about the move and you leaving.
24:31Yeah, maybe.
24:33Did you tell her about seeing Nick?
24:35I couldn't.
24:36She doesn't need that kind of worry.
24:37Well, what are you going to do?
24:39I don't know.
24:40I can't leave it like this, though.
24:42Cyprus.
24:43Remember that letter I got last week?
24:45A mate of mine is setting up a bar when I'm going to spend some time with him.
24:50I'd better go.
24:51You can't just up and leave.
24:52You need to sort things out here with your family.
24:55Yeah, well, it's my family I want to get away from.
24:57What are you talking about?
24:58What about Courtney?
25:00I'm not much of a dad, remember?
25:01Don't be stupid.
25:02I know how you love her.
25:03I've seen you playing with her at 3 o'clock in the morning when she's woken up crying.
25:06So?
25:07So just be straight with me.
25:09It's me, isn't it?
25:10It's me you want to get away from.
25:12I just want to get away from this place, do you understand?
25:14I mean, Nigel's doing it, Cathy did it.
25:16You know that's different.
25:17Nigel's starting a new life.
25:19Cathy's marriage was over, but you've got responsibilities here.
25:21All right, fine, have it your own way.
25:23I'm running away.
25:24It doesn't matter how you say it.
25:25I just don't want to be here.
25:26Don't start shouting at me.
25:27I've come round here to help you.
25:28I don't want your help.
25:30Don't you care about anyone other than yourself?
25:32You think you can just ditch your mum and sneak off and forget about us,
25:34make out like nothing's happened?
25:37Oh, so you've finally remembered your mother.
25:40He's not here then?
25:41Tiff's just gone round to your place to fetch him.
25:43So you haven't heard.
25:44Heard what?
25:45What are you on about?
25:46Never mind.
25:47And you've got a bit of explaining to do and all.
25:49Mum, don't drag me into this.
25:50Phil, where are you going?
25:51Phil!
25:53I just feel trapped.
25:54You know, like there's no one I can talk to.
25:56Well, you can talk to me, I want you to.
25:58Mum, we talked over what happened at Christmas, didn't we?
26:00Yeah, and look at us now.
26:02This is pointless, I'm going.
26:03No, you won't.
26:04We haven't even started yet.
26:05But you're not going to go anywhere,
26:06not unless you want to push me out of the way.
26:08Or maybe you want to rip me, is that what you want to do?
26:10Come on then, talk to me.
26:12I mean, ever since Easter, it's been like you ain't been here.
26:15I really don't want to have this conversation.
26:17Why not?
26:19I'm telling you, it's better if we just leave here.
26:22Kathy said she thought I could change.
26:25I don't know if I can.
26:26You've been talking to Kathy about us.
26:28She said maybe we could get through the bad stuff and start again.
26:32What's Kathy got to do with it?
26:35I talked to her in ways I could never talk to you.
26:38She understood me.
26:40And I don't.
26:43Look, everything I touch, I wreck.
26:46Now please let me go and sort my head out.
26:49I don't want you to go.
26:52Hang on, when are you coming back?
26:55I don't know.
26:57I'm doing this for us.
27:00For Mum and for Courtney.
27:04I'm sorry.
27:25I'm sorry.
