00:00I'm not sure he's going to be up for all the fuss.
00:25Exactly.
00:26That's why it'll be so funny.
00:28Is this his birthday or yours?
00:30Well, you know what Ronnie's like.
00:32He'll soak and mourn and say he hates it, until he's had a few drinks, and then he'll
00:35love it.
00:36But before that point, I get to enjoy watching him suffer.
00:42You two have a very strange relationship.
00:43Oh, well, what do you do, Ron, Ron, Ron?
00:46Oh, you're diddling.
00:47Oh, yeah, I'm, uh, I'm diddling OK, actually.
00:51Seriously?
00:54As a prize pie.
00:55Oh, what?
00:56How could you possibly?
00:59You left your laptop open on a website for happy birthday balloons.
01:03That could be for anyone, that.
01:06Happy 55th birthday balloons.
01:09Plum in it.
01:11You totally spoilt her for reveling in my humiliation, more like.
01:15It wasn't just going to be humiliation.
01:17There was going to be cake and all.
01:19In fact, I was just about to nip into time to that wonderful bakery you like.
01:24Oh, you mean that place that does the cronuts?
01:28That's the one.
01:29But, well, I don't need to bother now, do I?
01:31Oh, no, no, no.
01:32Yes, you have to bother.
01:33Uh, look, if, uh, you can, um, yeah, wait, start for an hour, I'll, uh, take you there
01:40myself.
01:41Why, thank you.
01:42What was I thinking?
01:43A surprise party.
01:44This is much easier.
01:45I'll be a toe of Kev's.
01:46Mwah.
01:47Ta-ta, Red.
01:48Ta-ra.
01:49What a woman, eh?
01:50What a woman.
01:51Hiya.
01:52Hi.
01:53Can I have a word?
01:54Is everything OK?
01:55Yeah, just, uh, hoping you can help me with some initial inquiries.
01:56Initial inquiries?
01:57Do we have to go down to the, uh, station or what?
01:58To be honest, I'm gasping for a nice cup of coffee.
01:59Can we do it in here?
02:00Yeah.
02:01Oh, oh, who's left?
02:02Oh, who's left?
02:03Oh, it's me.
02:04Oh, it's me.
02:05Oh, it's me.
02:06Oh, it's me.
02:07Oh, it's me.
02:08Oh, it's me.
02:09Oh, it's me.
02:10Oh, it's me.
02:11Oh, it's me.
02:12Oh, it's me.
02:13Oh, it's me.
02:14Oh, it's me.
02:15Oh, it's me.
02:16Oh, it's me.
02:17Oh, oh, who's left?
02:18Oh, who's left this glass here?
02:19Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry.
02:20It's me.
02:21I need a glass of water behind my bed or I can't get to sleep.
02:22It's a sofa, not a bed.
02:23She's got you there.
02:24Yeah, all right.
02:25I'm sorry.
02:26Look, when I get this, uh, flat confirmed, I'll be out your hair, all right?
02:27Well, why aren't you sleeping on the blow-up mattress of Gary and Sarah's?
02:28Because it's got more holes in it than something that's got a load of holes in it.
02:29Swiss cheese.
02:30Oh, a Bucky Pines backpack.
02:31Oh, yeah, right, very funny.
02:32Look, I'll do that.
02:33I'll do that.
02:34No, it's done now.
02:35Here.
02:36Will you just shove them in the wash for me?
02:47Oh.
02:48You know, you two are annoyingly similar.
02:52Mm.
02:53Both devilishly witty and fit, aren't we?
02:58No.
02:59Like, annoying like something that's really annoying.
03:02How's Sam's hand?
03:05Uh, it's fine, you know.
03:08If you're all right, it's just he's got a scar and...
03:11Oh, no, never mind.
03:13What do you mean?
03:16It's...
03:17It's not that scar tissue I'm worried about.
03:20Well, what is it?
03:23It's the anniversary of Natasha's death today.
03:26Right.
03:27Um...
03:28I know Leanne's known Sam as long as I have.
03:35And she's his mum, but...
03:38You're his dad.
03:39Yeah.
03:40You know, dropping him off there yesterday killed me.
03:45Yeah.
03:46It's like that thing that Mum used to say, innit?
03:49It's like having an elastic band connected from your heart to your kids.
03:54Bit gross, innit?
03:56Yeah.
03:57Hidey-ho.
03:58Oh.
03:59And here she is now.
04:02The massive backstabbing Judas,
04:05happily selling the house from underneath our feet.
04:07Where is she?
04:08Eh?
04:09If you're referring to Gail...
04:10He is.
04:11Your loving mother,
04:12who looked after you and cared for you your entire life...
04:14Yeah, you can nip all that in the bud for a start.
04:16Where is she?
04:17Well, she's at mine.
04:18Because it was my suggestion not to spoil her mini-break
04:21by coming here and, well, seeing you with your face on.
04:25And you was at the flat all night?
04:28Yeah.
04:29You didn't leave?
04:30No.
04:32Well, like I said, Debbie was out all night.
04:35I had some food, bought some telly, went to bed.
04:41Right, OK.
04:42That's everything.
04:44So, did he pass or did he crack and confess to everything?
04:47Yeah, he didn't stand a chance.
04:49I always go ultra-bad-cut when I'm drinking frothy coffee.
04:52Oh.
04:53How about his birthday?
04:54It's your birthday?
04:55Oh, it's your birthday.
04:57You really don't have to go around telling everybody.
04:59You should have said.
05:01I'd have given you extra sprinkles.
05:03Many happy returns.
05:05Do you know what time Didi and Michael leave for work today?
05:08I will if you hurry.
05:09You might catch them at ours.
05:10Didi came round for breakfast.
05:12Right you are.
05:14Ta.
05:24I told them we were in the house all night.
05:26And were they back up?
05:28Well, they were asleep when we left.
05:30You sure?
05:31Yes, I'm sure.
05:36I just don't get why you're here.
05:38Ta.
05:39Has she sent you to be like cannon fodder?
05:41Well, in a nutshell, yeah.
05:42Once more into the breach.
05:44I wanted to come to try and smooth the waters.
05:47Or you could just keep out of things that don't concern you.
05:50Oh, David.
05:51I just don't get why she didn't call me back.
05:54Well, the simple reason is she's ignoring your calls.
05:59Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
06:00Gail doesn't ignore my calls.
06:01I ignore hers.
06:02Can I just say I'm finding you a tad hostile.
06:05Hostile?
06:06Really?
06:07She's trying to make my family homeless.
06:10She's allowed to sell her house.
06:12Yes.
06:13And I told her to give me a chance to raise the money.
06:16But would she wait?
06:17No.
06:18She's far too busy posting pictures of you and her by the seaside
06:22and your flip flops on flipping blackjack.
06:29Hey.
06:32What's that?
06:33Uh, your Josie's ski goggles.
06:36Cords get off all right?
06:38Yeah, fine.
06:39Oh, give us a look.
06:42What are you still doing here?
06:44Half day for speech night.
06:46Half day for speech night.
06:51Oh, that's hard.
06:52Yeah, they meant those.
06:54You're going to have such a good time.
06:59Hey, are you OK not mentioning what you were worried about yesterday?
07:02Oh, yeah, yeah.
07:03Of course, yeah.
07:04Good lad.
07:05All right, put them on, then.
07:08Wee, perfect.
07:13Well, if you need to contact me, Dee Dee's got my card.
07:16Yeah, well, I might be asking you to talk to Carla
07:18if she hasn't got up with me in late.
07:20So?
07:21Are my whole family suspects now, then?
07:23Are you going to speak to me mum, heading on to Lewisham
07:25to talk to our James?
07:26I told you, none of you are suspects.
07:28And I already told you when we spoke on Monday.
07:31Dad, Michael and I were all here together that night.
07:34Hey, Dee Dee, honestly, it's just due diligence.
07:38Enjoy your party.
07:41Ta.
07:45What are you saying ta to him for?
07:47He was being nice, and that was a reflex.
07:49Look, why are you being so snippy?
07:51You're allowed to ask questions.
07:53Oh, really?
07:54Well, thank you for that.
07:56That was my idea.
07:57Look, Dee Dee, I get it, OK?
07:59Whatever you thought about Joel,
08:01whatever I thought about Joel,
08:03you're allowed to grieve someone
08:05you might have, you know, mixed feelings about.
08:07Are you finished?
08:08Because I thought you were late for work.
08:10Dee.
08:11Look, I just had a bad night's sleep, OK?
08:14Sorry.
08:15But it had nothing to do with him.
08:17Right, well, OK, just make sure you cheer up
08:19before the party this afternoon.
08:21This party's for fun.
08:23Right, knock, boat.
08:24Snippiness.
08:30I've just rang them.
08:31They're having a run on them bigger cakes,
08:33so we need to get going.
08:34Uncle Ronnie?
08:35Hi, Dee Dee.
08:36Right, I've got your keys.
08:38I'll put the address in the sack now.
08:40What did you tell D.C. Green?
08:42Oh, he just wanted to know where I was
08:44the night Joel disappeared.
08:45Unlike your dad, I didn't have an alibi.
08:47Debbie was there.
08:48Where's Noble Street?
08:49Sorry?
08:50Where the field?
08:53Noble Street, number 47.
08:54Oh, that's...
08:55It says here it's the last place he went to.
08:57Um, that's...
08:58That's Joel's flat.
09:00Oh.
09:01Aye.
09:02And why were you at Joel's flat?
09:23Oh, that was from ages ago,
09:25when me and Michael helped him move out.
09:27No.
09:28It's showing.
09:29It's your last address.
09:30I usually use my phone, don't I?
09:32I mean, I hardly use that any more.
09:34I mean, flipping heck.
09:35First the cop isn't telling me anything.
09:37I'm not a cop.
09:38I'm a cop.
09:39I'm a cop.
09:40I'm a cop.
09:41I'm a cop.
09:42I'm a cop.
09:43I'm a cop.
09:44I'm a cop.
09:45I'm a cop.
09:46I'm a cop.
09:47I'm a cop.
09:48I'm a cop.
09:49I'm a cop.
09:50I'm a cop.
09:51I'm a cop.
09:52The cop has interrogated me over my breaking.
09:54Now you're giving me the third degree
09:56over my sat-nav use.
09:57I mean,
09:58you care to chip in here, Dee Dee?
10:00Yes.
10:01All right.
10:02All right.
10:03What?
10:04Hey, hey.
10:06Are you OK?
10:08Yeah.
10:09Yeah, I reckon
10:10a party will do us all a bit of good, though.
10:12So you'd better get going,
10:13whilst there's still some cakes left.
10:15Spot on.
10:16Right, come on, you.
10:17Get in.
10:18Lost the two shoes.
10:23Lauren needs help, support.
10:27And I do really want to help her,
10:30but I'm just struggling
10:33to get over how I feel about her.
10:36Right.
10:39Look, I know I said I'd moved on,
10:41but the last thing I want
10:44is for her to think I'm only helping her
10:46because I fancy her.
10:48Gah.
10:49Gah.
10:51I should just forget it, shouldn't I?
10:55Got to say, mate,
10:56not getting very many caring vibes here.
10:59Oh, sorry, mate, it's Maria.
11:01I'm supposed to be off today,
11:03but she's having some kind of...
11:05salon emergency.
11:07All right.
11:08Somebody died.
11:10What?
11:11D-Y-E-D died.
11:14It was meant to be a hairdresser joke.
11:16Sorry for banging on.
11:18No, yeah.
11:20It's OK, I do get it.
11:22Look, I think Lauren is just feeling a bit fragile
11:25at the moment.
11:26I know.
11:27Just going to have to get over myself, aren't I?
11:30Hunker down in the friend zone.
11:33You OK to keep what I said to yourself?
11:35Yeah, yeah, of course.
11:37Well, that was nice.
11:39Mmm.
11:42So, then.
11:44Shouting us a free lunch?
11:46Shouting us a free lunch?
11:48Holidays?
11:49Feeling flush, or what?
11:51Like a blindfolded man after a vindaloo.
11:57Er, no, I just fancied a pub lunch.
12:00And your mum's told me you'd been burned by your exes.
12:03Yeah, more like drowned, actually.
12:08Yeah, I've been...
12:09Well, we've been thinking...
12:12maybe you're after Mum's money.
12:15After she's finished, you know, paying for all the bath and stuff,
12:18and the house must be worth it.
12:19Urgh!
12:20What?
12:21This house stuff against him, I didn't write.
12:23Erm, I need to top up.
12:24See him again?
12:26Ta.
12:27No, I'm fine, thanks.
12:28Yeah.
12:31No, no, I wouldn't say flush,
12:34but I'm doing all right at the moment,
12:36cos me and me ex's house sale has gone through
12:38and I've made a tidy profit.
12:40Yay, gentrification.
12:42Right.
12:43Right?
12:44Yeah, well, that makes sense.
12:46Yeah, we'll just have to thank our lucky stars it's a seller's market, won't we?
12:55I'll, er, after you.
12:57No, it's all right, you go. I'll wait for Max.
12:59OK, erm...
13:00A pint of best and two zeroes, please, Jenny.
13:02Coming up, love.
13:06Meryl needs a change and I won't be a sec.
13:09Ah, look, I'm glad baby Frankie got a discharge date.
13:13Yeah, thanks.
13:19How did you get on with the sofa at number eight?
13:22What?
13:23Well, er, Gail's super comfy deluxe sofa
13:26that I vacated a couple of weeks ago so you could have the pleasure.
13:30Oh, right.
13:31Yeah, it's very comfy, innit?
13:33Yeah, but I was being sarcastic.
13:35I mean, that's spring in the middle.
13:37I mean, it's vicious, eh?
13:39Not really. I could sleep anywhere, me.
13:41What? Even on the world's most uncomfortable sofa?
13:44Well, no, you're just a bit of softie, aren't you?
13:46For a princess.
13:48You know, with the peak.
13:49Oh, right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:51Hey, er, do you want a drink? I'm buying.
13:53Er, no, I'm not stopping, Tara. I've left Taya on her own.
13:56She's doing a shift. I was desperate and she was happy to help.
14:00Oh, right.
14:02I thought we should try that, erm, being civil thing out.
14:07Yeah, yesterday was pretty awful.
14:10Yeah.
14:12Erm, did he mention his mum this morning?
14:15Er, yeah, briefly.
14:17He was more interested in showing off his stitches, to be honest.
14:20He's grown up so fast, isn't he?
14:24Yeah, it's hard to remember he's still just a kid.
14:28A kid who's lost his mum, yeah.
14:31Listen, I've been thinking and I've got an idea about how this might work.
14:39Hey, when he's inbound, give me a shout and I'll get these open.
14:42No, don't worry, I'll take them from you, Taya.
14:44OK. Thank you.
14:45So he just wanted to know where we all were that night.
14:49Oh, yeah, well, I said we were in all night.
14:51Hey, are we ready?
14:53Is he, er, ready?
14:55Surprise!
14:58Whoa, what are you lot doing here?
15:00The man is literally walking in, carrying his own birthday cake.
15:03It couldn't be less surprise.
15:04Yeah, she's been trying to get me.
15:06Always gives herself away.
15:08You want to work on your poker face?
15:10Hey, if I hadn't have left my laptop open, I'd have had you, good and proper.
15:14Mm, thank you. Thank you, everyone.
15:16And, er, this is a big cake, or are you going to...?
15:18Oh! Whoo!
15:20Good lad.
15:22Good speech.
15:23Hey, phone's away.
15:25All right, Dad.
15:26Right, Slippy.
15:28Here, let me give you a hand.
15:31I think the police intervention has made people a bit tense.
15:36Yeah, not the best timing.
15:37Could you have had the cake, though?
15:39Oh, it's really Ronnie Creamy.
15:41Ronnie was having cat's kittens every time we went round a corner.
15:45You know what he's like with his upholstery.
15:48I can't believe he let Joel put his stuff in there.
15:51I mean, it's not like he's got masses of boot space.
15:54Hang on, Joel?
15:56Yeah, when you two were helping Joel move out of his flat.
15:59Oh, yeah, no, that was my car.
16:02Your car?
16:03Yeah, the chest of drawers went in my car.
16:05Can you imagine it fitting in Uncle Ronnie's?
16:07No, I can't, actually.
16:09Yeah, well, that makes more sense, then.
16:12Right.
16:14I'll take these over.
16:19Hiya.
16:22Why's he smelling ours?
16:23Well, because he's going out with my gramps.
16:25You know, when you say that he was poking about your finances,
16:29what do you mean?
16:31I won't say poking about, more just...
16:35..asking questions, really, offering advice.
16:38Why?
16:41What if Jesse was the one that took Damon's money?
16:44That's quite a leap.
16:46I know, I know.
16:47But he turns up sniffing around exactly when the money goes missing.
16:51And come on, somebody took it.
16:53Somebody took it.
16:54And if it's not him, then who?
16:56And don't even say Daniel.
16:57You're basing this whole money going missing in a lock-up thing
17:01on one phone call from Damon.
17:04I mean, Damon.
17:06I mean, let's face it,
17:07if we were doing a top five of your dodgy boyfriends,
17:10he's straight in at number one.
17:11All right, shut up, David.
17:12And if it's not dodgy Damon, it's his even dodgier brother, Harvey.
17:17And if it ain't him, it's one of many dodgy friends at the bar.
17:20All right, fine, I get the point.
17:22Yeah, don't worry.
17:23Yeah, I'm on my way now.
17:25Yeah.
17:26I'm sorry, I've got her on.
17:28But I've settled up with Jan.
17:30Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm coming now.
17:32Oh, no, that's not dodgy, not the slightest.
17:35Where are you going?
17:36What do you think I'm doing?
17:38He's hiding something, I'm going to see what it is.
17:40Are you mad?
17:43Oh, thanks, love.
17:45I'm on my own and I always struggle with that best barrel.
17:48Yeah, it's fine.
17:49Where's Gemma?
17:51Well, you know, she's taking it day by day.
17:55I don't know, it's been three years since Johnny.
18:00Oh, of course, yeah.
18:02Sorry, Gemma.
18:03Oh, I'm fine.
18:05You know, I'd usually tell her to take all the time she likes,
18:08but we are short-staffed.
18:11Right.
18:12And I can't keep her shifts open forever.
18:16What, so you're saying that she needs to get over her twin dying
18:18because she might lose her job?
18:20No, no, no, I'm not saying that at all.
18:23What I'm saying is that I know more than most that, you know,
18:27the hurt, it's not going to stop any time soon.
18:29So if she just wanted to start with the odd hour,
18:31just to ease herself...
18:32Oh, I'm sorry, Jenny.
18:34It's a no, she's...
18:35It's too soon.
18:37OK.
18:39I'm sorry.
18:51PHONE RINGS
19:03That's great.
19:07Oh, hey, Sam.
19:09Hi. Can I have a quick word?
19:11Hey, look, I'll take over.
19:13Sam, will you put my coat into the office?
19:15Once again with the child labour?
19:18Everything OK?
19:19Yeah, everything's fine,
19:20and we've just had a big talk and I've made a decision.
19:24I think that me and you should move out of the flat.
19:26I think it's only fair that Nick moves back in
19:28and he can be with Sam.
19:30OK.
19:31Yeah.
19:32I just think it's right that Sam's with his dad
19:34and he doesn't have to move out again.
19:35Yeah, no, I totally get that, yeah.
19:37But, OK, where were you thinking...?
19:39Well, actually, I've already found somewhere.
19:42Craig's going to move in with Kirk and keep him company,
19:45you know, now that Beth's gone.
19:46Oh, I heard Kirk saying he was lonely.
19:48Right, so the salon flat's free?
19:50Yeah.
19:51Doesn't Tyrone own that? Have you talked to him yet?
19:53Listen...
19:55Look, this is really hard to say.
19:57What? What is it?
19:59All right, don't take this the wrong way, but...
20:02Well, I sort of want to live on my own for a bit.
20:05And, to be honest,
20:07I'm not sure I'm in the right headspace
20:09to share with you at the minute.
20:13So, you two.
20:16I haven't seen the looks.
20:18What looks?
20:19Between you both.
20:21Hey, Dee Dee,
20:22Annie has the temerity to question my poker face.
20:26Temerity?
20:28Michael told me you went in his car to Joel's flat.
20:31So why is that addressing your sap now?
20:33Listen, I don't think this is the time to talk about it.
20:36No, she's right.
20:37We need to talk about this.
20:39No, we don't.
20:40Ed, they're going to keep on pestering me until I do.
20:43So, anyway, here goes.
20:45Speech.
20:46Speech!
20:47To the love of my life.
20:49Oh, no.
20:52I am truly sorry you've had the misfortune
20:55to get involved with an absolute rotter like me.
20:59You might not have pulled off a surprise party.
21:02I was surprised.
21:04But you surprise me every day.
21:06By sticking with me.
21:08Despite my grumpiness and...
21:10No surprises.
21:11I throw you away.
21:12So, um, thank you.
21:15And thank you all for coming.
21:17Right, on by.
21:18Uh, who's for more champagne?
21:20Oh, uh, no second for me, please.
21:22All right.
21:23You turn the way, pretty.
21:25All right.
21:27Give me a hand.
21:41He's not here.
21:43This was a stupid idea.
21:45We can't give up now. We need to find him.
21:47Let's go.
21:48I'm not going anywhere.
21:50We're not letting him get away with this.
22:07Dad.
22:10You went to see him that night, didn't you?
22:12Both of you.
22:13You've got to believe me.
22:15We didn't lay a finger on him.
22:18But, yeah, we were there that night.
22:21We were going to drag him down to the cob shop.
22:24But when we got there, he didn't answer,
22:26so we broke in.
22:29You broke in?
22:31We brought a crowbar.
22:33Then what did you do?
22:36We went on.
22:38That's it?
22:39We went home with our tails between our legs?
22:43Swore each other to secrecy.
22:46Yeah, again. I know.
22:48Hey, do you want me to bring those over?
22:50No, we're fine. Thanks, Nick.
22:54And that's it?
22:55After that, you called it off and came home?
22:57That's it.
22:58What, you don't believe me?
23:00Would you blame me?
23:02You've lied to me this long.
23:05I understand why you didn't tell the police.
23:07I mean, the whole thing is beyond stupid.
23:10It's macho nonsense, but I get that.
23:12What I don't get is why you didn't tell me straight away.
23:16We're together, remember?
23:18We're meant to sort stuff out like this together.
23:20I know.
23:22I'm sorry.
23:24Come on, then.
23:26Shout at me.
23:29I was half expecting you to force us to go to the police.
23:32I can't force you to do anything, Dad.
23:36Hey, look, I didn't mean to ambush you before.
23:39No, I completely get it.
23:41I mean, you're right, it's for the best.
23:43Does Sam know?
23:44Yeah, yeah, he's fine with it.
23:46Look, I would have run it past you first, but he brought it up.
23:49No, honestly, it's fine. It makes total sense.
23:52And, yeah, you know, as long as you're happy with it.
23:55Yeah, yeah, of course.
23:57Hey, I'm gonna need you to help me pack.
24:00Are you sure you can't stay as well?
24:02All of us?
24:04Oh, Sam.
24:05No, it's win-win, isn't it?
24:07Come on, you're gonna get two fridges to raid,
24:09double the number of streaming subscriptions,
24:11spare room to bob all your stuff in.
24:13Come on.
24:14Yeah, see, telescope out the window, you've got an observatory.
24:21Oh, you are kidding!
24:24Oh!
24:25Oh, watch out!
24:27I am so sorry.
24:29Sarah?
24:30Are you all right?
24:32Nothing's broken.
24:35You OK?
24:37Well, you be.
24:38When me mum finds out you're nipping off,
24:40having secret meetings with other women.
24:50I'm coming.
24:54Hey.
24:55Hiya.
24:56Erm, I can't be long, cos I'm short-staffed.
24:59I didn't mean that in a passag way.
25:01I just... I just... I wanted to clear the air.
25:04You know, cos I didn't mean in any way
25:07that I was somehow threatening to fire you.
25:09I'm sorry.
25:10I was just, you know, really stressed cos of the barrel.
25:13And, you know, I know you're on bereavement leave, which is good.
25:17I mean, it's not... good.
25:20But I just want you to know that you need to take as much time as you need
25:24and just don't feel like you have to hurry back.
25:27Right.
25:29What you on about?
25:32Has Chesney not talked to you?
25:34Well, not since this morning, no.
25:36Oh, right. Erm...
25:39Well, I... I rather clumsily...
25:42Passag?
25:44..told him that I couldn't hold onto your schist forever
25:47and that I hoped you'd be back at work soon.
25:50Right.
25:53Yeah, he has been mithering, actually.
25:55Well, he's... he's just looking out for you.
25:58Yeah.
25:59I think I am ready, you know.
26:01I could do some shifts next week, maybe.
26:04Are you... are you sure?
26:06Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure. I am.
26:13Are you OK?
26:15Bill, when you've got a sec, please, Nick.
26:17Oi, what you doing? You're not paying.
26:19It's your birthday.
26:20Yeah, Nick, if he goes anywhere near that Bill,
26:22I'm going to flame this place so hard on the supervisor.
26:25Oh, OK.
26:26Well, look, it's my birthday, so I get to decide who pays, right?
26:30I don't think it works like that.
26:32It definitely doesn't.
26:33Thank you. There you go, Michael.
26:35Yes.
26:36Hey, hang on a minute. I organise this. I'm paying.
26:39No, you're not. Nope.
26:40OK, let's just split it evenly, OK?
26:42Everyone except for me.
26:44No, no, no.
26:45All right, then. Get your little calculator out.
26:47I don't have a little calculator. I've got a phone.
26:50Mate, you don't need a calculator. Give it to you.
26:54No, listen, you don't have to do that.
26:56Just part... Just...
26:58They're not listening.
26:59You're better off keeping yourself out of this one, mate.
27:02Hey.
27:03Very quiet.
27:04Erm, yeah, sorry, I've got a bit of a headache,
27:07so I might head home, actually.
27:08Hey, hey, don't go. Look.
27:10Look, we're really sorry. We're stupid.
27:12We should have told you before.
27:14Yeah. Yeah, and we told you everything, all right?
27:17There's nothing else, if that's what you're worried about.
27:19Me and Ronnie went back to ours with our tails between our legs,
27:22and then Ronnie went home.
27:26Ain't that right, man?
27:28Yeah, of course.
27:29Why do you ask me like that for?
27:31What do you mean?
27:32Right, Ron. You know I did, I told you.
27:34Well, I know, but I was just waiting you say it to confirm for Dee Dee.
27:38Why do I need to confirm?
27:40Flipping heck.
27:41No, go on. You don't believe me.
27:43Yeah, of course I believe you.
27:45Look, it's fine, guys.
27:47Do you want to try that again?
27:48Look, can you blame me? I mean, you were really hit.
27:51We both were. We both called it off.
27:53What, you think I went back there, finished off the job?
27:56Oh, my days. Of course not.
27:58Everything all right, lads?
28:00Yeah, everything's fine.
28:02Actually, I was just saying, I've got a bit of a headache,
28:04so I think I'm going to skip the phone.
28:05What?
28:06I've got some paracetamol, if you want.
28:08I'm OK, sir. Sorry.
28:10That's too much, look.
28:11It's fine. I'll put it towards the tip.
28:14Now see what you've done.
28:16It's been a tough few days.
28:19I'll check in on her later.
28:23Wait, wait.
28:25This is my ex, Jane, and it was just a hug.
28:28Oh, just a hug.
28:30Yeah, right, course it was. And what's my mum?
28:32Yeah, I was getting with her just to pass the time
28:34until you could get with this one.
28:36This one?
28:37Oh, wait a minute. Don't tell me.
28:39Your mum's Eileen, right?
28:41No, my mum's Gail.
28:42Who's Gail?
28:43Well, she's Eileen's sworn nemesis.
28:46It's very complicated.
28:48And you're with Gail?
28:49Well, not with, with, no.
28:52Oh.
28:53But I am with her mother.
28:56Oh, yes, with my mother.
28:58And going on nice little trips away with my mother.
29:00There was only a night in Whitby.
29:02Oh, nice.
29:03I think it's not even dry in the divorce papers,
29:05and you're on a dirty weekend with Whitby woman Gail.
29:07It was hardly dirty.
29:08Oh, I don't even want to know.
29:09So, was he cheating on you as well, then?
29:11Like Eileen, is that why you're divorcing him?
29:13Just hang on.
29:14No, no.
29:15Jesse's an idiot, but, well, he's a good man.
29:18If you must know, it was me that was cheating,
29:21when he was inside.
29:22Inside, like prison?
29:24Look, please, please.
29:26Can we just concentrate on the good man bit?
29:28I'm sorry.
29:29I'll be in touch about the house, Jesse.
29:31Oh, OK, look, but, please,
29:33I was going to tell you about Gail.
29:35What?
29:36Why are you even here?
29:38Because I've been following you.
29:40Of course you have.
29:42Why are you lot so suspicious of me?
29:44Oh, come on.
29:45We both know.
29:46Well, we both know what?
29:47You know.
29:48I don't.
29:49The money.
29:50What money?
29:51You mean Gail's money?
29:52No, the...
29:54You don't know?
29:56What the hell are you talking about?
29:59I don't know.
30:00I don't know.
30:01I don't know.
30:02I don't know.
30:03I don't know.
30:05You don't know?
30:27Yes?
30:30Dad, I'm... I'm fine.
30:32I just...
30:33Please, Dad, I...
30:36OK, OK, it's open.
30:54Didi, I'm so, so sorry.
30:57It's just a headache, Dad.
30:59Yeah, you said...
31:00Look, I brought some pills.
31:02Look, you take these.
31:03Go sit down.
31:04I'll go get some water.
31:10Listen, I'm serious.
31:11Scream at me, shout at me.
31:12I deserve it, all right?
31:14What me and Ronnie did was stupid.
31:22Whatever we thought of Joel,
31:24there's no excuse.
32:01I'm so sorry we didn't tell you straight away.
32:07I already knew, Dad.
32:11What?
32:14That night, I...
32:16I heard you and Uncle Ronnie arguing in the yard
32:18when he dropped you home.
32:21Oh, love.
32:24I should have said something sooner.
32:27I don't know why I didn't.
32:28I just...
32:30Maybe part of me was glad.
32:33You know, glad that my family, my dad,
32:35had gone out to make sure he was going to pay for everything he'd done.
32:38Listen, we didn't do anything, I swear.
32:40What we said in the bistro was the truth.
32:42When we realised what we were doing was so stupid,
32:44we went home.
32:45Ronnie, too.
32:46He was mortified up to me, but...
32:49But we didn't do anything.
32:51I know, Dad.
32:53I believe you.
32:56I know I've lied to you in the past.
32:58It's OK.
33:00I believe you.
33:01Yeah, but you spent the last few days thinking.
33:04I'm so, so sorry.
33:08I am so sorry.
33:15Air fryer.
33:16Oh, nix.
33:18Has he ever used it?
33:20Yeah, fair point, actually. I love it.
33:23Oh, no way.
33:24As if you've still got this ancient toasted sandwich maker.
33:27This takes me back.
33:29I haven't used it in years. It doesn't even work properly.
33:32Dad got that from some bloke from the market.
33:35You talked to Les lately?
33:37Yeah.
33:38Spoke to him a couple of weeks ago.
33:40He was drunk, obviously.
33:42And he expected me to summarise what had been happening in my life
33:45since the last time we spoke.
33:46Did you?
33:48No, I said nothing much had happened.
33:50Could hardly hear him, anyway.
33:52I think he was at some wrestling show.
33:54Wrestling?
33:55Yeah.
33:56He said something about meeting up for a drink,
33:58but when I messaged back...
34:00He didn't reply.
34:01Yeah, pretty standard line of communication with my dad all round.
34:04Sam, could you do us a favour?
34:06Somebody's left a big cardboard box outside,
34:08near the recycling, near the residence car park.
34:10Could you just go and nab it for me?
34:12Yeah, of course.
34:14Unless there's rats in it, then no.
34:23So he's OK about you moving out, then?
34:25Well, he says he is, but you never really know what he's thinking.
34:31Um...
34:32I'm sorry for springing all this on you.
34:34No, come on, I totally get it.
34:36You're right, you know, we're better off with a bit of space.
34:39Yeah.
34:40Especially now you've recovered.
34:42Yeah.
34:44Yeah, and things aren't really great between me and Nick, so...
34:48Well, do you know what?
34:50I think it'll be good for me to live on my own.
34:52I've not lived on my own for ages,
34:54and I've always had to rely on somebody else,
34:56so I think it'll be good for me.
34:58Yeah, you're right, yeah. I mean, me too.
35:01In fact, I'm going to get online right now
35:03and I'm going to see what's out there.
35:05Yeah.
35:09Hey.
35:11Is Bethany back yet?
35:13Er, no, hopefully tomorrow,
35:15but will you send her some more TikToks?
35:17Cos it does cheer her up.
35:19Right.
35:20Hello?
35:22Hello.
35:23Is Mum in?
35:25No, she's staying at Jesse's.
35:27Who, by the way, said you ambushed him with his ex?
35:31Yeah, well, I think he was being dodgy in the pub.
35:34Yeah, well, you'd know all about dodgy.
35:36Oh, David, shut up.
35:37Tell me to shut up. You're the one who called round here.
35:40Did you know that Jesse's been to prison?
35:44No.
35:45Doesn't want to say.
35:47Well, my money's on Harvey.
35:50Maybe. Hopefully.
35:53What do you mean, hopefully?
35:54Because if it's not Harvey,
35:56he's going to be pretty knocked that the money's gone missing, isn't he?
35:59What if he comes sniffing round here for it?
36:02Oh, great, so we're not only going to be harmless,
36:04we're going to be the target of Weatherfield's kingpin of crime.
36:24GUN COCKS
36:37Is she OK?
36:40She's not great, no.
36:43Turns out she heard us come back to the house that night.
36:47So when she found out, we told the police we didn't leave the house.
36:50She thought we might have.
36:52Exactly.
36:53Enough to give anyone a headache.
36:55Hey, Ed's back.
36:57Ah, here he is. Funny how you sneaked out when it was your round.
37:02Well, is Dee Dee all right?
37:04All right. Look, Sam, you...
37:07We've got something to tell you.
37:12Come on, brother dearest.
37:14I think Abi needs to take you home.
37:16Oh, do you think?
37:17I'm not leaving.
37:18Not unless we're getting a kebab.
37:20In which case, I'm getting a kebab.
37:22Ah, thought you'd never ask.
37:24Um, kebabby?
37:26Eat you there.
37:28Ta-ra.
37:31All right?
37:32Right, go on. What is it?
37:37Oh, hi, mate. I'm not with you.
37:39No, I convinced her I wasn't going to bleed to death if I came by myself.
37:43OK, look, get out the way of the door. Here.
37:46Sorry, I know I shouldn't be by here,
37:48but it turns out we're out of black peppercorn.
37:50And we're having eggs.
37:52And you can't really have eggs without them.
37:54Oh, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
37:56Yeah, hang on.
37:58Is everything all right, though?
38:00Yeah.
38:01It's good that Leanne's just moving round the corner, isn't it?
38:04Yeah. Auntie Toy has been helping her pack.
38:06Oh, well, that's good.
38:08She's nicking the earth, right?
38:10Well, predictable.
38:11And planning on moving out tomorrow.
38:13Wow. That's quick.
38:15Yeah.
38:17Next year, I'll have the anniversary
38:19of losing two mums on two consecutive days.
38:26Mate...
38:27No, sorry. That was meant as a joke.
38:30Honestly, I get that it's for the best.
38:33And, like you say, she's just round the corner.
38:36You're not losing Leanne, you know.
38:39Look how close she is to Simon.
38:41Yeah, I know. I know, honestly.
38:43It was just a bad joke.
38:45You'll be able to see her whenever you want.
38:47Yeah. I know.
38:50Pepper?
38:52Yeah, yeah, OK, yeah.
38:54Er, eggs. There we go.
38:57See you later. Yeah. Enjoy your eggs.
39:03I don't believe this.
39:05No, actually, what am I saying? Of course I believe it.
39:07You playing the hard man acting, you lying about it.
39:10Look, Michael... No, he's right.
39:12I deserve that.
39:13I hold my hands up. We both do.
39:16What we do is stupid.
39:18Oh, forgot your keys.
39:20Oh.
39:22Just had a craving for some crisps.
39:24Mm-mm.
39:25Do you fancy a brew?
39:26Ooh, go on, then.
39:30You realise I, um...
39:32What's the word? I pagered myself because of you.
39:35I told him that you were in all night.
39:37No, you said you thought he was in all night.
39:41He was in all night. You were asleep.
39:44OK, great.
39:45Good to know I can rely on a technicality when it comes to court.
39:48I'm guessing Dee Dee's told you to go to the police?
39:51She's...
39:52..agreed to keep it quiet.
39:54We both have.
39:55What?
39:57Nothing happened, so...
39:59Sorry. Wait, run this past me again.
40:02Dee Dee's agreed to cover up your little vigilante justice spree.
40:06And you're OK with it, are you?
40:08Well, like Ron said, nothing's happened.
40:10Apart from Joel being murdered.
40:14Look, I believe you.
40:16I know you had nothing to do with it.
40:18Well, glad to know.
40:20Yeah, but you broke into his house the night he got murdered.
40:22That's a massive coincidence.
40:23You think anyone else will believe you didn't do it?
40:25Which is why none of us can say anything.
40:31I didn't think you'd still be awake.
40:34Can't sleep.
40:37You OK?
40:39Mm-hm.
40:43Jenny come round before.
40:45Right.
40:47Look, I'm...
40:49I'm sorry I shouldn't have gone behind your back.
40:51No, it's fine.
40:53I told her I'd go back and do some shifts next week.
40:56Part-time, you know.
40:59This is where you're going to have a go at me for interfering?
41:02No.
41:03I get it.
41:06I just...
41:09It feels weird just carrying on like normal.
41:14Well, that's why you don't have to, Gem.
41:18I do.
41:19We need the money.
41:21And I can't just keep sitting here while you're working so hard
41:24you can hardly keep your eyes open.
41:27And I'm fine.
41:29Are you, though? Really?
41:32Yeah.
41:33Well, I've got to be. You know it's going to change, is it?
41:38He's not coming back.
41:41And I can't just be sad forever, can I?
41:45Gemma, come here.
41:54Sorry it's late, but this cat won't till tomorrow.
41:58Right.
42:00How are you so calm?
42:02I thought you'd been marching him down to the police station.
42:04Because they didn't do it.
42:07OK, but do you really think the police,
42:09the same police who locked up Roy Cropper for murder,
42:12are going to look at the dad and the uncle of the victim's ex-fiancé
42:16and believe that?
42:18Do you believe them?
42:20That they broke in and changed their minds?
42:22Of course I do, don't you?
42:26Yes, yeah, yeah. Look...
42:29I can't deal with this right now, I know.
42:31I need to go to bed.
42:34Someone was looking for Joel that evening.
42:36And whoever that was finished the job.
43:01I'm sorry.
43:24I'm sorry.
43:27I'm sorry.
43:31I'm sorry.
44:01I'm sorry.
