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 okay?
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, it's me.
02:04It's me.
02:05It's me.
02:06It's me.
02:07It's me.
02:08It's me.
02:09It's me.
02:10It's me.
02:11It's me.
02:12It's me.
02:13It's me.
02:14It's me.
02:15It's me.
02:16It's me.
02:17It's me.
02:18It's me.
02:19It's me.
02:20Oh, who's left?
02:21Oh, who's left this glass here?
02:22Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry.
02:23It's me.
02:24I need a glass of water behind my bed or I can't get to sleep.
02:25Well, it's a sofa, not a bed.
02:26She's got you there.
02:27Yeah, all right.
02:28I'm sorry.
02:29Look, when I get this, uh, flat confirmed, I'll be out your hair, all right?
02:30Well, why aren't you sleeping on the blow-up mattress of Gary and Sarah's?
02:31Because it's got more holes in it than something that's got a load of holes in it.
02:32Swiss cheese?
02:33Oh, a porcupine's backpack.
02:34Oh, yeah, right.
02:35Very funny.
02:36Look, I'll do that.
02:37I'll do that.
02:38No, it's done now.
02:39Here.
02:40Will you just shove them in the wash for me?
02:41Oh.
02:42You know, you two are annoyingly similar.
02:43Mm.
02:44Both devilishly witty and fit, aren't we?
02:45No.
02:46Like, annoying like something that's really annoying.
02:47How's Sam's hand?
02:48Uh, it's fine, you know.
02:49If you're all right, it's fine.
02:50I'm fine.
02:51I'm fine.
02:52I'm fine.
02:53I'm fine.
02:54I'm fine.
02:55I'm fine.
02:56I'm fine.
02:57I'm fine.
02:58I'm fine.
02:59I'm fine.
03:00I'm fine.
03:01I'm fine.
03:02I'm fine.
03:03I'm fine.
03:04I'm fine.
03:05I'm fine.
03:06I'm fine.
03:07I'm fine.
03:08I'm fine.
03:09If you're all right, he's just...
03:10He's got a scar and...
03:12Oh, no.
03:13Never mind.
03:14What 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.
03:27Right.
03:29But, um...
03:32I know Lianne's known Sam as long as I have and...
03:36And she's his mum.
03:37Oh.
03:38You're his dad.
03:39Yeah.
03:42You know, dropping him off there yesterday killed me.
03:46Yeah.
03:47It's like that thing that mum used to say, innit?
03:50It's like having an elastic band connected from your heart to your kids.
03:55Bit gross, innit?
03:57Yeah.
03:59Hidey-ho.
04:00And here she is now.
04:02The massive backstabbing Judas.
04:05Judas.
04:06Happily selling the house from underneath our feet.
04:08Where is she?
04:09If you're referring to Gail...
04:10He is.
04:11Your loving mother who looked after you and cared for you your entire life...
04:15Yeah, you can nip all that in the bud for a start.
04:17Where is she?
04:18Well, she's at mine.
04:19Because it was my suggestion not to spoil her mini-break by coming here and, well,
04:23seeing you with your face on.
04:26And you was at the flat all night?
04:29Yeah.
04:30You didn't leave?
04:31No.
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-bud cut when I'm drinking frothy coffee.
04:52Oh, how lovely 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.
05:00I'd have given you extra sprinkles.
05:02Many happy returns.
05:05Do you know what time Dee Dee and Michael leave for work today?
05:07Oh, well, if you hurry, you might catch them at ours.
05:09Dee Dee came round for breakfast.
05:11Right you are.
05:13Ta.
05:23I told them we were in the house all night.
05:25And when they back you up?
05:27Well, they were asleep when we left.
05:30You sure?
05:31Yes, I'm sure.
05:35I just don't get why you're here.
05:37Ta.
05:38Has she sent you to be like cannon fodder?
05:40Well, in a nutshell, yeah.
05:41Once more into the breach.
05:43I wanted to come to try and smooth the waters.
05:46Or you could just keep out of things that don't concern you.
05:49Oh, David.
05:51I just don't get why she didn't call me back.
05:53Well, the simple reason is she's ignoring your calls.
05:57Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:58Gail doesn't ignore my calls.
06:00I ignore hers.
06:01Can I just say, I'm finding you a tad hostile.
06:04Hostile? Really?
06:06She's trying to make my family homeless.
06:08She's allowed to sell her house.
06:11Yes, and I told her to give me a chance to raise the money.
06:15But would she wait? No.
06:17She's far too busy posting pictures of you and her by the seaside
06:20and your flip-flops on flipping blackjack.
06:28Hey.
06:31What's that?
06:32Er, your Josie's ski goggles.
06:35Cords get off all right?
06:36Yeah, fine.
06:37Oh, give us a look.
06:41What are you still doing here?
06:42Half day for speech night.
06:44Half day for speech night?
06:49What's that?
06:50They're the Mentos.
06:52You're going to have such a good time.
06:58Hey, are you OK not mentioning what you were worried about yesterday?
07:01Oh, yeah, yeah, of course, yeah.
07:03Good lad.
07:04Right, put them on, then.
07:07Wee, perfect.
07:12Well, if you need to contact me, Dee Dee's got my card.
07:15Yeah, well, I might be asking you to talk to Carla
07:17if she hasn't got up with me in late.
07:19So?
07:20Are my whole family suspects now, then?
07:22Are you going to speak to my mum,
07:23heading on to Lewisham to talk to our James?
07:25Told you, none of you are suspects.
07:27And I already told you when we spoke on Monday.
07:30Dad, Michael and I were all here together that night.
07:33Hey, Dee Dee, honestly, it's just due diligence.
07:37Enjoy your party.
07:40Ta.
07:44What are you saying ta to him for?
07:46He was being nice.
07:47And that was just a reflex.
07:49Look, why are you being so snippy?
07:51They're allowed to ask questions.
07:52Oh, really?
07:53Well, thank you for that.
07:54I had no idea.
07:56Look, Dee Dee, I get it, OK?
07:59Whatever you thought about Joel,
08:00whatever I thought about Joel,
08:02you're allowed to grieve someone you might have,
08:05you know, mixed feelings about.
08:06Are you finished? Cos I thought you were late for work.
08:08Dee...
08:09Look, I just had a bad night's sleep, OK?
08:13Sorry.
08:14But it had nothing to do with him.
08:16Right, well, OK, just make sure you cheer up
08:19before the party this afternoon.
08:20Cos parties are for fun.
08:22Oh.
08:23Right, knock vote.
08:24Snippiness.
08:29I've just rang them.
08:30They're having a run on them bigger cakes,
08:32so we need to get going.
08:33Uncle Ronnie?
08:34Hi, Dee Dee.
08:35Right, I've got your keys.
08:37I'll put the address in the sap lab.
08:40What did you tell DC Green?
08:42Oh, he just wanted to know where I was
08:43on the night Joel disappeared.
08:44Unlike your dad, I didn't have an alibi.
08:46Debbie was out.
08:47Where's Noble Street?
08:49Sorry?
08:50Where the field?
08:51Noble Street, number 47.
08:53Oh, that's...
08:54It says here it's the last place he went to.
08:56Um, that's...
08:57That's Joel's flat.
08:59Oh.
09:00Aye.
09:02And why were you at Joel's flat?
09:22Oh.
09:39That was from ages ago when me and Michael
09:41helped him move out.
09:43No.
09:44It's showing.
09:45It's your last address.
09:46I usually use my phone, don't I?
09:48I mean, I hardly use that any more.
09:50I mean, heck.
09:51First the cop has interrogated me over my breaking.
09:53Now you're giving me the third degree
09:55over my sat-nav use.
09:57I mean, you care to chip in here, Dee Dee?
10:00Yes, all right.
10:01All right.
10:02Whoops.
10:03Hey, hey.
10:06Are you OK?
10:07Yeah.
10:08Yeah, I reckon a party will do us all a bit of good, though.
10:12So you better get going whilst there's still some cakes left.
10:14Spot on.
10:15Yeah.
10:16Right, come on, you.
10:17Get in.
10:18Two shoes.
10:25Lauren needs help, support.
10:28And I do really want to help her, but...
10:32..I'm just struggling to get over how I feel about her.
10:37Right.
10:40Look, I know I said I'd moved on, but...
10:44..the last thing I want is for her to think
10:46I'm only helping her because I fancy her.
10:49Gah.
10:51I should just forget it, shouldn't I?
10:55Got to say, mate, not getting very many caring vibes here.
10:59Oh, sorry, mate, it's Maria.
11:01I'm supposed to be off today, but she's having some kind of...
11:05..salon emergency.
11:07All right.
11:08Somebody died.
11:10What?
11:11D-Y-E-D.
11:13Died.
11:14Died? It was meant to be a hairdresser joke.
11:17Sorry for banging on.
11:19No, yeah.
11:20It's OK, I do get it.
11:22Look, I think Lauren is just feeling a bit fragile at the moment.
11:27I know.
11:28I'm just 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.
11:38Well, that was nice.
11:40Mm.
11:42So, then...
11:44..shouting us a free lunch?
11:46Holidays?
11:47Feeling flush or what?
11:50Like a blindfolded man after a vindaloo.
11:55Er, no, I just fancied a pub lunch.
11:58And your mum's told me you'd been burned by your exes.
12:01Yeah, more like drowned, actually.
12:06Yeah, I've been... Well, we've been thinking.
12:11Maybe you're after Mum's money.
12:14After she's finished, you know, paying for all the bedding and stuff,
12:17and the house must be worth it.
12:19What?
12:20This house stuff against him, I didn't write.
12:22Erm, I need to top up Sam again.
12:25Tom.
12:26No, I'm fine, thanks.
12:27Yeah.
12:30Look, I wouldn't say flush, but I'm doing all right at the moment,
12:34cos me and me ex's house sale has gone through,
12:37and I've made a tidy profit.
12:39Yay, gentrification.
12:41Right. Oh, well, that makes sense.
12:45We'll just have to thank our lucky stars it's a seller's market, won't we?
12:54I'll, er, after you.
12:56No, it's all right, you go. I'll wait for Max.
12:58OK, erm, if I had a best in 2-0, please, Jenny?
13:01Coming up, love.
13:05Meryl needs changing, I won't be a sec.
13:09Ah, look, I'm glad baby Frankie got a discharge date.
13:14Yeah, thanks.
13:20How did you get on with the sofa at number 8?
13:22What?
13:23Well, er, Gail's super comfy deluxe sofa that I vacated a couple of weeks ago,
13:29so you could have the pleasure.
13:30Oh, right.
13:31Yeah, it's dead comfy, innit?
13:34Yeah, but I was being sarky.
13:35I mean, that spring in the middle, I mean, it's vicious, hey?
13:38Not really. I could sleep anywhere, me.
13:40What? Well, even on the world's most uncomfortable sofa?
13:44Well, no, you're just a bit of softy, aren't you?
13:46For a princess.
13:48You know, with the, with the peak.
13:49Oh, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:50OK, 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.
14:05Yeah, yesterday was pretty awful.
14:08Yeah.
14:10Erm, did he mention his mum this morning?
14:13Er, yeah, briefly.
14:15He was more interested in showing off his stitches, to be honest.
14:19He's grown up so fast, isn't he?
14:22Yeah, it's hard to remember he's still just a kid.
14:26A kid who's lost his mum, yeah.
14:29Listen, I've been thinking and I've got an idea about how this might work.
14:35Right, when he's inbound, give me a shout and I'll get these open.
14:38No, don't worry, I'll take them from you, Taya.
14:40OK.
14:42So he just wanted to know where we all were that night.
14:45Oh, yeah, er, well, I said we were in all night.
14:48Hey, are we ready?
14:50He's here.
14:51Ready?
14:52Surprise!
14:54Whoa, what are you lot doing here?
14:56The man is literally walking in, carrying his own birthday cake.
14:59It couldn't be less surprise.
15:01The 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.
15:15Thank you, everyone.
15:16And, er, this is a big cake, all you're going to...
15:18Oh!
15:19Whoo!
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.
16:01Your car?
16:02Yeah, the chest of drawers went in my car.
16:04Can 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.
16:18Hiya.
16:21Why's he smelling ours?
16:23Because 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?
16:32I 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.
16:53And if it's not him, then who?
16:55And don't even say Daniel.
16:57You're basing this whole money going missing in a lock-up thing
17:00on one phone call from Damon.
17:04I mean, Damon.
17:05I mean, let's face it, if we were doing a top five of your dodgy boyfriends,
17:09he'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.
17:16And if it ain't him, it's one of many dodgy friends at the bar.
17:19All right, fine, I get the point, I get the point.
17:21Yeah, don't worry. Yeah, I'm on my way now.
17:23Yeah.
17:25I'm sorry, I've got to run.
17:27But I've settled up with Jan.
17:29Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm coming now.
17:31Oh, no, that's not dodgy, not the slightest.
17:34Where are you going?
17:35What do you think I'm doing?
17:37He's hiding something, I'm going to see what it is.
17:39Are you mad?
17:42Oh, thanks, love.
17:44I'm on my own and I always struggle with that best barrel.
17:47It's fine.
17:49How's Gemma?
17:50Well, you know, she's taking it day by day.
17:54No, I don't know.
17:56It's been three years since Johnny.
17:59Oh, of course, yeah.
18:01Sorry, Gemma.
18:02Oh, I'm fine.
18:04I'd usually tell her to take all the time she likes,
18:07but we are short-staffed.
18:10Right.
18:11And I can't keep her shifts open forever.
18:15What, so you're saying that she needs to get over her twin dying
18:17because she might lose her job?
18:19No, no, no, no, no, no.
18:20I'm not saying that at all.
18:22What I'm saying is that I know more than most
18:25that, you know, the hurt, it's not going to stop anytime soon.
18:28So if she just wanted to start with the odd hour,
18:30just to ease herself...
18:31Oh, I'm sorry, Jenny.
18:33It's a no, she's...
18:34It's too soon.
18:36OK.
18:38I'm sorry.
18:45I'm sorry.
19:03That was great.
19:06Oh, hey, Sam.
19:08Hi.
19:09Can I have a quick word?
19:11Look, I'll take over.
19:12Sam, will you put my coat into the office?
19:14Once again with the child labour.
19:17Everything OK?
19:18Yeah, listen, we've just had a big talk and I've made a decision.
19:23I think that me and you should move out of the flat.
19:25I think it's only fair that Nick moves back in and he can be with Sam.
19:29OK.
19:30Yeah.
19:31I just think it's right that Sam's with his dad
19:33and he doesn't have to move out again.
19:34Yeah, no, I totally get that, yeah.
19:36But, OK, where were you thinking...
19:38Well, actually, I've already found somewhere.
19:41Craig's going to move in with Kirk and keep him company,
19:44you know, now that Beth's gone.
19:45Oh, I heard Kirk say he was lonely.
19:47Right, so the salon flat's free?
19:49Yeah.
19:50Doesn't Tyrone own that? Have you talked to him yet?
19:52Listen, look, this is really hard to say.
19:56What? What is it?
19:58All right, don't take this the wrong way,
20:00but, well, I sort of want to live on my own for a bit.
20:04And, to be honest,
20:06I'm not sure I'm in the right headspace to share with you at the minute.
20:12So, you two,
20:14don't think I haven't seen the looks.
20:17What looks?
20:18Between you both,
20:20eh, Dee Dee,
20:21and he has the temerity to question my poker face.
20:25Temerity?
20:27Michael told me you went in his car to Joel's flat,
20:30so why's that addressing your sap now?
20:32Listen, I don't think this is the time to talk about it.
20:35No, she's right.
20:36We need to talk about this.
20:38No, we don't.
20:39Ed, they're going to keep on pestering me until I do.
20:42So, anyway, here goes.
20:44Speech.
20:45Speech.
20:46To the love of my life.
20:48Oh, no.
20:51I am truly sorry you've had the misfortune
20:54to get involved with an absolute rotter like me.
20:58You might not have pulled off a surprise party.
21:01I was surprised.
21:03But you surprise me every day.
21:05By sticking with me.
21:07Despite my grumpiness and surprises,
21:11I throw you away.
21:12So, um, thank you.
21:15And thank you all for coming.
21:17Right, on by.
21:18Who's for more champagne?
21:20Ooh, er, no second for me, please.
21:22All right.
21:23You turn around, pretty, all right?
21:27Give me a hand.
21:38He's not here.
21:39This was a stupid idea.
21:41We can't give up now.
21:42We need to find him.
21:43Let's go.
21:44I'm not going anywhere.
21:46We're not letting him get away with this.
21:49Dad.
21:51You went to see him that night, didn't you, both of you?
21:55You've got to believe me.
21:57We didn't lay a finger on him.
22:03I'm sorry.
22:04I'm sorry.
22:05I'm sorry for you.
22:07I'm sorry for you.
22:08I'm sorry.
22:10I'm sorry.
22:11I'm sorry.
22:12I'm sorry.
22:13I'm sorry.
22:14I'm sorry.
22:15I'm sorry.
22:16I'm sorry.
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, so we broke in.
22:29You broke in?
22:31We brought a crowbar.
22:33Then what did you do?
22:36We went home.
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?
23:01Would 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.
23:22And I'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.
23:40I mean, you're right, it's for the best.
23:42Does Sam know?
23:43Yeah, yeah, he's fine with it.
23:45Look, I would have run it past you first, but he brought it up.
23:48No, honestly, it's fine. It makes total sense.
23:51And, yeah, you know, as long as you're happy with it.
23:54Yeah, yeah, of course.
23:56Hey, I'm going to need you to help me pack.
23:59Are you sure you can't stay as well?
24:01All of us?
24:03Oh, Sam.
24:04No, it's win-win, isn't it?
24:06Come on, you're going to get two fridges to raid,
24:08double the number of streaming subscriptions,
24:10spare room to bob all your stuff in. Come on.
24:13Yeah, see, telescope out the window, you've got an observatory.
24:20Oh, you are kidding.
24:23Oh!
24:24Watch out!
24:25Oh, my gosh. I am so sorry.
24:28Sarah?
24:29Are you all right?
24:31Nothing's broken.
24:34You OK?
24:35Well, you be.
24:37When me mum finds out you're nipping off,
24:39having secret meetings with other women.
24:49I'm coming.
24:53Hey.
24:54Hiya.
24:55Erm, 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
25:06that 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
25:23and just don't feel like you have to hurry back.
25:26Right.
25:29What are you on about?
25:31Has Chesney not talked to you?
25:33Well, not since this morning, no.
25:35Oh, right. Erm...
25:38Well, I... I rather clumsily...
25:41Passag?
25:43..told him that I couldn't hold on to your schist forever
25:46and that I hoped you'd be back at work soon.
25:49Right.
25:52Yeah, he has been mouthing, actually.
25:54Well, he's... he's just looking out for you.
25:57Yeah.
25:58I think I am ready, you know.
26:00I could do some shifts next week, maybe.
26:03Are you sure?
26:04Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure. I am.
26:12Are you OK?
26:13Bill, will you've got a sec, please, Nick?
26:15Oi, what are you doing? You're not paying.
26:17It's your birthday.
26:18Yeah, Nick, if he goes anywhere near that Bill,
26:20I'm going to flame this place so hard, I'm going to improvise it.
26:23Oh, er, OK.
26:24Well, look, it's my birthday,
26:26so I get to decide who pays, right?
26:29I don't think it works like that. It definitely doesn't.
26:31Er, thank you. There you go, Michael.
26:33Yes, please.
26:34Hey, hang on a minute.
26:35I organise this, I'm paying.
26:37No, you're not. Nope.
26:39OK, let's just split it evenly, OK?
26:41Everyone except for me. No, no, no.
26:43All right, then. Get your little calculator out.
26:45I don't have a little calculator. I've got a phone.
26:48Hey, you don't need a calculator.
26:51Give it to you.
26:52Er, listen, you don't have to do that.
26:54Just part... Just...
26:56They're not listening.
26:57You're better off keeping yourself out of this one, mate.
27:00Hey, you're all very quiet.
27:02Erm, yeah, sorry, I've got a bit of a headache,
27:05so I might head home, actually.
27:06Hey, hey, don't go, look.
27:08Look, we're really sorry, we're stupid.
27:10We should have told you before.
27:12Yeah. Yeah, and we told you everything, all right?
27:15There's nothing else, if that's what you're worried about.
27:17Me and Ronnie went back to ours with our tails between our legs
27:20and then, er, Ronnie went home.
27:23Ain't that right, man?
27:25Yeah, of course. Why do you ask me like that for?
27:28What do you mean?
27:29Right, Ron, you know I did, I told you.
27:31Well, I know, but I was just waiting for you to say it to confirm for Dee Dee.
27:35Why do I need to confirm?
27:37Flipping heck.
27:39No, go on, you don't believe me.
27:41Yeah, of course I believe you.
27:43Look, it's fine, guys.
27:44Do you want to try that again?
27:46Look, can you blame me? I mean, you were really het up.
27:49We both were and we both called it off.
27:51What, you think I went back there, finished off the job?
27:54Oh, my days, of course not.
27:56Everything all right, lads?
27:57Yeah, everything's fine, mate.
27:59Actually, I was just saying, I've got a bit of a headache,
28:01so I think I'm going to skip the phone.
28:03What?
28:04I've got some paracetamol if you want.
28:06I'm OK, sir, sorry.
28:07No, that's too much, look.
28:09It's fine, I'll put it towards the tip.
28:14Now see what you've done.
28:16Now see what you've done.
28:18It's been a tough few days.
28:21I'll check in on her later.
28:24Wait, wait.
28:26This is my ex, Jane, and it was just a hug.
28:29Oh, just a hug.
28:31Yeah, right, of course it was.
28:33And what's my mum?
28:34Yeah, I was getting with her just to pass the time
28:36until you could get with this one.
28:37This one?
28:38Oh, wait a minute, don't tell me.
28:40Your mum's Eileen, right?
28:42No, my mum's Gail.
28:43Who's Gail?
28:44Well, she's Eileen's sworn nemesis.
28:47It's very complicated.
28:49And you're with Gail?
28:50Well, not with, with, no.
28:53Oh.
28:54But I am with her mother.
28:57Oh, yes, with my mother.
28:59And going on nice little trips away with my mother.
29:01There was only a night in Whitby.
29:03Oh, nice.
29:04I think it's not even dry in the divorce papers
29:06and you're on a dirty weekend with Whitby woman Gail.
29:08It was hardly dirty.
29:09Oh, I don't even want to know.
29:10So was he cheering on you as well then?
29:12Like high and lean, is that why you're divorcing him?
29:14Just hang on.
29:15No, no.
29:16Jesse's an idiot, but, well, he's a good man.
29:20If you must know, it was me that was cheating
29:22when he was inside.
29:24Inside like prison.
29:25Look, please, please.
29:27Can we just concentrate on the good man bit?
29:30I'm sorry.
29:31I'll be in touch about the house, Jesse.
29:33Oh, OK, love.
29:34But please, I was going to tell you about Gail.
29:38Ah.
29:41What?
29:42Why are you even here?
29:44Because I've been following you.
29:46Of course you have.
29:48Why are you lot so suspicious of me?
29:50Oh, come on.
29:51We both know.
29:52Well, we both know what?
29:53You know.
29:54I don't.
29:55The money.
29:56What money?
29:57You mean Gail's money?
29:58No, the...
30:00You don't know?
30:02What the hell are you talking about?
30:04You don't know?
30:26Yes?
30:29Dad, I'm... I'm fine, I just...
30:32Please, Dad, I...
30:34OK, OK, it's open.
30:53Didi, I'm so, so sorry.
30:56It's just a headache, Dad.
30:58Yeah, you said.
30:59Look, I brought some pills.
31:01Look, you take these.
31:02Go sit down.
31:03I'll go get some water.
31:09Listen, I'm serious.
31:10Scream at me, shout at me.
31:11I deserve it, all right?
31:13What me and Ronnie did was stupid.
31:21Whatever we thought of Joel,
31:23there's no excuse.
31:59I'm so sorry we didn't tell you straight away.
32:06I already knew, Dad.
32:10What?
32:13That night, I...
32:15I heard you and Uncle Ronnie arguing in the yard
32:18when he dropped you home.
32:20Oh, love.
32:23I should have said something sooner.
32:25I don't know why I didn't.
32:26I just...
32:29Maybe part of me was glad.
32:31You know, glad that my family, my dad,
32:33had gone out to make sure he was going to pay for everything he'd done.
32:36Listen, we didn't do anything, I swear.
32:38What we said in the bistro was the truth.
32:40When we realised what we were doing was so stupid,
32:42we went home.
32:43Ronnie, too.
32:44He was mortified up to me, but...
32:47but we didn't do anything.
32:49I know, Dad.
32:51I believe you.
32:52I believe you.
32:55I know I've lied to you in the past.
32:57It's OK.
32:59I believe you.
33:00Yeah, but you spent the last few days thinking.
33:03I'm so, so sorry.
33:07I am so sorry.
33:14Air fryer.
33:15Oh, nix.
33:17Has he ever used it?
33:19Yeah, 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, I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago.
33:39He was drunk, obviously.
33:42And he expected me to summarise what had been happening in my life
33:44since the last time we spoke.
33:46Did you?
33:48No, I said nothing much had happened.
33:50Could hardly hear him, anyway.
33:51I think he was at some wrestling show.
33:53Wrestling?
33:54Yeah.
33:55He said something about meeting up for a drink,
33:57but when I messaged back...
33:59He didn't reply.
34:00Yeah, 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?
34:11Yeah, of course.
34:13Unless there's rats in it, then no.
34:21So, he's OK about you moving out, then?
34:24Well, he says he is, but you never really know what he's thinking.
34:30Um...
34:31I'm sorry for springing all this on you.
34:33No, come on, I totally get it.
34:35You're right, you know, we're better off with a bit of space.
34:38Yeah.
34:39Especially now you've recovered.
34:41Yeah.
34:43Yeah, and things aren't really great between me and Nick, so...
34:47Oh, do you know what?
34:48I think it'll be good for me to live on my own.
34:51I've not lived on my own for ages,
34:52and I've always had to rely on somebody else,
34:54so I think it'll be good for me.
34:57Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I mean, me too.
34:59In fact, I'm going to get online, right now,
35:01and I'm going to see what's out there.
35:03Yeah.
35:07Hey.
35:09Is Bethany back yet?
35:11No, hopefully tomorrow,
35:13but will you send her some more TikToks, cos it does chill.
35:16Right.
35:17Hello?
35:19Hiya.
35:20Is Mum in?
35:22No, she's staying at Jesse's.
35:24Who, by the way, said you ambushed him with his axe?
35:28Yeah, well, I think he was being dodgy in the pub.
35:31Yeah, well, you'd know all about dodgy.
35:33Oh, David, shut up.
35:34It's not me to shut up, you're the one who called round here.
35:37Did you know that Jesse's been to prison?
35:41No.
35:42What for?
35:43No.
35:44What for?
35:45He doesn't want to say.
35:47Well, my money's on Harvey.
35:49Maybe. Hopefully.
35:52What 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?
36:01Oh, great, so we're not only going to be homeless,
36:03we're going to be the target of Weatherfield's kingpin of crime.
36:13Oh.
36:38She OK?
36:40She's not great, no.
36:43Turns out she heard us come back to the house that night.
36:46So when she found out, we told the police we didn't leave the house.
36:50She thought we might have.
36:51Exactly.
36:52Enough to give anyone a headache.
36:54Hey, Ed's back.
36:56Well, here he is.
36:57Funny how you sneaked out when it was your round.
37:01Well, is Dee Dee all right?
37:03All right, look, son, you...
37:06We've got something to tell you.
37:09Come on, brother dearest.
37:11I think Abi needs to take you home.
37:13Oh, do you think?
37:14I'm not leaving.
37:15Not unless we're getting a kebab.
37:18In which case, I'm getting a kebab.
37:20Ah, thought you'd never ask.
37:22Um, kebabby?
37:24Eat you there.
37:26Ta-ra.
37:29All right.
37:30Right, go on. What is it?
37:35Oh, Henry.
37:37Oh, hey, mate.
37:38Er, Leanne not with you?
37:39No.
37:40I 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.
37:46Sorry, I know I shouldn't be by you here,
37:48but it turns out we're out of black pepper corn
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?
37:59Yeah.
38:00It's good that Leanne's just moving round the corner, isn't it?
38:03Yeah.
38:04Auntie Toy has been helping her pack.
38:06Oh, well, that's good.
38:08She's nicking the earth, right?
38:09Well, predictable.
38:11And planning on moving out tomorrow.
38:13Wow.
38:14That'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.
38:29That was meant as a joke.
38:31Honestly, I get that it's for the best.
38:33And like you say, she's just round the corner.
38:37You're not losing Leanne, you know.
38:39Look how close she is to Simon.
38:41Yeah, I know.
38:42I know, honestly.
38:43It was just a bad joke.
38:46You'll be able to see her whenever you want.
38:47Yeah.
38:48I know.
38:51Pepper?
38:53Yeah, yeah, OK, yeah.
38:55Eggs.
38:56There we go.
38:58See you later.
38:59Yeah. Enjoy your eggs.
39:04I don't believe this.
39:06No, actually, what am I saying?
39:07Of course I believe it.
39:08You playing the hard man acting,
39:10you lying about it.
39:11No, Michael.
39:12No, he's right.
39:13I deserve that.
39:14I held my hands up.
39:15We both did.
39:17What we did was stupid.
39:19Oh, forgot your keys.
39:21Oh.
39:22Just had a craving for some crisps.
39:25Mm-mm.
39:26Do you fancy a brew?
39:27Ooh, go on, then.
39:30You realise I, um...
39:32What's the word?
39:33I perjured myself because of you.
39:35I told him that you were in all night.
39:37No.
39:38You said you thought he was in all night.
39:41You were asleep.
39:42OK, great.
39:43Good to know I can rely on a technicality when it comes to court.
39:47I'm guessing Dee Dee's told you to go to the police?
39:49She's...
39:51agreed to keep it quiet.
39:53We both have.
39:54What?
39:56Nothing happened, so...
39:58Sorry.
39:59Wait, run this past me again.
40:01Dee Dee's agreed to cover up your little vigilante justice spree,
40:05and you're OK with it, are you?
40:07Well, like Ron said, nothing's happened.
40:09Apart from Joel being murdered.
40:10Hey, keep your voice down.
40:12Look, I believe you.
40:14I know you had nothing to do with it.
40:16No problem.
40:17Glad to know.
40:18Yeah, but you broke into his house the night he got murdered.
40:21That's a massive coincidence.
40:22You think anyone else would believe you didn't do it?
40:24Which is why none of us can say anything.
40:28I didn't think you'd still be awake.
40:30I can't sleep.
40:33You OK?
40:36Mm-hm.
40:40Jenny come round before.
40:42Right.
40:44Look, I'm...
40:46I'm sorry I shouldn't have gone behind your back.
40:48No, it's fine.
40:50I told her I'd go back and do some shifts next week.
40:53Part-time, you know.
40:55This is where you're going to have a go at me for interfering?
40:58No.
41:00I get it.
41:03I just...
41:06It feels weird just carrying on like normal.
41:11Well, that's why you don't have to, Gem.
41:15I do.
41:16We need the money.
41:18And I can't just keep sitting here while you're working so hard
41:21you can have the kids.
41:23And I'm fine.
41:25Are you, though? Really?
41:28Yeah.
41:30Well, I've got to be.
41:31You know it's going to change, is it?
41:34He's not coming back.
41:37And I can't just be sad forever, can I?
41:42Gemma, come here.
41:44Sorry it's late.
41:45Well, this cat won't till tomorrow.
41:48Right.
41:50How are you so calm?
41:52I thought you'd been marching him down to the police station.
41:54Because they didn't do it.
41:57OK, but do you really think the police,
41:59the same police who locked up Roy Cropper for murder,
42:02are going to do it?
42:04I don't know.
42:06I don't know.
42:08I don't know.
42:10I don't know.
42:11The police who locked up Roy Cropper for murder
42:14are going to look at the dad and the uncle
42:16of the victim's ex-fiancé and believe that?
42:20Do you believe them?
42:22That they broke in and changed their minds?
42:24Of course I do, don't you?
42:28Yes, yeah, yeah.
42:30Look, I can't deal with this right now.
42:32I need to go to bed.
42:35Someone was looking for Joel that evening.
42:37And whoever that was finished the job.
42:41I'm going to bed.
43:12I'm sorry.
43:23I'm sorry.
43:26I'm sorry.
