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.
01:59Initial inquiries?
02:00Well, do we have to go down to the, uh, station or what?
02:05To be honest, I'm gasping for a nice cup of coffee.
02:08Can we do it in here?
02:09Yeah.
02:10Oh, oh, who's left it?
02:20Oh! Oh, who's left...
02:22Who's left this glass here?
02:23Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry, it's me.
02:24I need a glass of water behind my bed or I can't get to sleep.
02:27It's a sofa, not a bed.
02:29She's got you there. Yeah, all right, I'm sorry.
02:31Look, when I get this flat confirmed, I'll be out of your hair, all right?
02:34Why aren't you sleeping on the blow-up mattress of Gary and Sarah's?
02:37Because it's got more holes in it
02:39than something that's got a load of holes in it.
02:41Swiss cheese. Oh, a Porcupine's backpack.
02:42Yeah, right, very funny. Look, I'll do that, I'll do that.
02:45No, it's done now. Here, will you just shove them in the wash for me?
02:47Oh! You know, you two are annoyingly similar.
02:52Mm.
02:54Both devilishly witty and fit, aren't we?
02:57No, like annoying like something that's really annoying.
03:01HE CHUCKLES
03:05How's Sam's hand?
03:07Er, it's fine, you know.
03:10If you're all right, it's just, it's got a scar and...
03:13Oh, no, never mind.
03:15What do you mean?
03:18It's... It's not that scar tissue I'm worried about.
03:21Well, what is it?
03:24It's the anniversary of Natasha's death today.
03:27Right.
03:30But, um...
03:32I know Leanne's known Sam as long as I have, and...
03:36and she's his mum, but...
03:38You're his dad. Yeah.
03:42You know, dropping him off there yesterday killed me.
03:47Yeah. It's like that thing that Mum used to say, isn't it?
03:50It's like having an elastic band connected from your heart to your kids.
03:55It's a bit gross, isn't it?
03:57Yeah. HE CHUCKLES
04:00Hidey-ho.
04:01And here she is now, the massive backstabbing Judas,
04:06happily selling the house from underneath our feet.
04:08Where is she?
04:10If you're referring to Gail... He is.
04:11..your 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. Where is she?
04:18Well, she's at mine.
04:19Because it was my suggestion not to spoil her mini-break by coming here,
04:22and, well, seeing you with your face on.
04:27And you was at the flat all night?
04:29Yeah.
04:30You didn't leave? No.
04:33But, like I said, Debbie was out all night.
04:36I had some food, watched some telly, went to bed.
04:41Right, OK. That's everything.
04:44So, did he pass, or did he crack and confess to everything?
04:48Yeah, he didn't stand a chance.
04:50I always go ultra-bad cop when I'm drinking frothy coffee.
04:52Oh, I love his birthday.
04:55It's your birthday? Oh, it's your birthday?
04:57You really don't have to go around telling everybody.
04:59You should have said. I'd have given you extra sprinkles.
05:03Many happy returns.
05:05Do you know what time Dee Dee and Michael leave for work today?
05:08Oh, well, if you hurry, you might catch them at ours.
05:10Dee Dee came round for breakfast.
05:12Right you are.
05:14Ta.
05:24I told them we were in the house all night.
05:26And will they back you up?
05:28Well, they were asleep when we left.
05:31You sure? Yes, I'm sure.
05:36I just don't get why you're here.
05:39Has she sent you to be like cannon fodder?
05:41Well, in a nutshell, yeah. Once 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.
05:52I just don't get why she didn't call me back.
05:54Well, the simple reason is she's ignoring your calls.
05:58Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Gail doesn't ignore my calls.
06:01I ignore hers.
06:02Can I just say I'm finding you a tad hostile?
06:05Hostile? Really?
06:08She's trying to make my family homeless.
06:10She's allowed to sell her house.
06:13Yes, and I told her to give me a chance to raise the money.
06:16But would she wait? No.
06:18She's far too busy posting pictures of you and her by the seaside
06:22and your flip-flops on flippin' blackjack.
06:30Hey.
06:32What's that?
06:33Er, your Josie's ski goggles.
06:36Cords get off all right? Yeah, 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, tar. Yeah, they're Mentos.
06:54You'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. Right, put them on, then.
07:07Wee, perfect.
07:11Well, if you need to contact me, Dee Dee's got my card.
07:14Yeah, well, I might be asking you to talk to Carla
07:16if she hasn't got up with me in late.
07:18So, are my whole family suspects now, then?
07:21Are you going to speak to my mum,
07:23heading down to Lewisham to talk to our James?
07:25I told you, none of you is 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.
07:40Tar.
07:43What are you saying tar to him for?
07:46He was being nice. And that was just a reflex.
07:48Look, why are you being so snippy?
07:50They're allowed to ask questions.
07:52Oh, really? Well, thank you for that. I had no idea.
07:56Look, Dee Dee, I get it, OK?
07:59Whatever you thought about Joel, whatever I thought about Joel...
08:01You're allowed to grieve someone you might have, you know,
08:04mixed feelings about.
08:05Are you finished? Cos I thought you were late for work.
08:07Dee. Look...
08:10I just had a bad night's sleep, OK?
08:12Sorry. But it had nothing to do with him.
08:15Right, well, OK, just make sure you cheer up
08:17before the party this afternoon.
08:19This party's for fun.
08:21Right, knock on wood. Snippiness.
08:28I'm just random.
08:29They're having a run on them bigger cakes, so we need to get going.
08:32Uncle Ronnie? Hi, Dee Dee.
08:34Right, I've got your keys.
08:36I'll put the address in the sack now.
08:38What did you tell Dee See Green?
08:41Oh, he just wanted to know where I was the night Joel disappeared.
08:44Unlike your dad, I didn't have an alibi.
08:46Debbie was out. Where's Noble Street?
08:48Sorry? Where the field?
08:50Noble Street, number 47.
08:53It says here it's the last place you went to.
08:55Um, that's... That's Joel's flat.
08:58Oh, aye.
09:00And why were you at Joel's flat?
09:27Oh, that was from ages ago, when me and Michael helped him move out.
09:31No, it's showing. It's your last address.
09:35I usually use my phone, don't I?
09:37I mean, I hardly use that any more.
09:39I mean, flipping heck.
09:40First the cop has interrogated me over my breaking,
09:43now you're giving me the third degree over my sat-nav use.
09:46I mean, I'm not a cop.
09:48I'm a lawyer.
09:49I'm a lawyer.
09:51I'm a lawyer.
09:52I'm a lawyer.
09:54I'm a lawyer.
09:55I'm a lawyer.
09:57I mean, you care to, er, chip in here, Dee Dee?
10:00Yes, all right. All right.
10:02What?
10:03Hey, hey.
10:06Are you OK?
10:08Yeah. Yeah, I reckon a party will do us all a bit of good, though.
10:12So you'd better get going, whilst there's still some cakes left.
10:15Spot on. Yeah.
10:16Right, come on, you, get in.
10:18Lost the two shoes.
10:19SHE SLAMS THE DOOR
10:25Lauren needs help, support.
10:28And I do really want to help her, but...
10:31MESSAGE CHIME
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...
10:43MESSAGE CHIME
10:45..the last thing I want is for her to think
10:47that I'm only helping her because I fancy her.
10:50Gah.
10:52I should just forget it, shouldn't I?
10:54MESSAGE CHIME
10:56Got to say, mate, not getting very many caring vibes here.
11:00Oh, sorry, mate, it's Maria.
11:02I'm supposed to be off today, but she's having some kind of...
11:06Salon emergency.
11:08All right.
11:09Somebody died.
11:11What?
11:13D-Y-E-D. Died.
11:15It was meant to be a hairdresser joke.
11:18Sorry for banging on.
11:19No, yeah. It's OK, I do get it.
11:22Er, look, I think Lauren is just feeling a bit fragile at the moment.
11:27I know.
11:29Just going to have to get over myself, aren't I?
11:31Hunker down in the friend zone.
11:34You OK to keep what I said to yourself?
11:36Yeah, yeah, of course.
11:38Well, that was nice.
11:40Mm.
11:43So, then...
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 think... Well, we've been thinking...
12:12Maybe you're after Mum's money.
12:15After she's finished paying for all the bedding and stuff.
12:18And the house must be worth it.
12:20What?
12:21This house stuff again, it's doing my head in.
12:23Right, erm, I need a top-up.
12:24Same again?
12:26Ta.
12:27No, I'm fine, thanks.
12:28Yeah.
12:31Look, I wouldn't say flush, but 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. Yeah, well, that makes sense.
12:46We'll just have to thank our lucky stars it's a seller's market, won't it?
12:55I'll, er, after you.
12:57No, it's all right. You go, I'll wait for Max.
12:59OK, erm, if I had a best in 2-0, please, Jenny?
13:02Give me that, love.
13:06Meryl needs changing, I won't be a sec.
13:08Ah, look, I'm glad baby Frankie got a discharge date.
13:12Yeah, thanks.
13:19How did you get on with the sofa at number eight?
13:21What?
13:22Well, er, Gail's super-comfy deluxe sofa that I vacated
13:26a couple of weeks ago, so you could have the pleasure.
13:29Oh, right. Yeah, it's very comfy, innit?
13:33Yeah, but I was being sarcastic.
13:34I mean, that's spring in the middle.
13:36I mean, it's vicious.
13:37Not really. I could sleep anywhere, me.
13:39What? Even on the world's most uncomfortable sofa?
13:42Well, no, you're just a bit of softie, aren't you?
13:44A princess. You know, with the... with the peak.
13:47Oh, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, yeah.
13:49Hey, er, do you want a drink? I'm buying.
13:52Er, no, I'm not stopping, Tara. I've left Taya on her own.
13:54She's doing a shift. I was desperate and she was happy to help.
13:58Oh, right.
14:01I thought we should try that, erm, being civil thing out.
14:04Yeah. Yesterday was pretty awful.
14:06Yeah.
14:08Erm, did he mention his mum this morning?
14:12Er, yeah, briefly.
14:14He was more interested in showing off his stitches, to be honest.
14:17He's grown up so fast, isn't he?
14:20Yeah, it's hard to remember. He's still just a kid.
14:24A kid who's lost his mum, yeah.
14:27Listen, I've been thinking and I've got an idea about...
14:32Right, when he's inbound, give me a shout and I'll get these out.
14:35No, don't worry, I'll take them from you, Taya.
14:37OK. Thank you.
14:39So he just wanted to know where we all were that night.
14:42Oh, yeah, well, I said we were in all night.
14:45Hey, are we ready?
14:47Is he, er, ready?
14:49Surprise!
14:51Whoa! What are you lot doing here?
14:53The man is literally walking past us.
14:56He's got a gun, he's got a gun, he's got a gun.
14:59What are you lot doing here?
15:00The man is literally walking in, carrying his own birthday cake.
15:03It couldn't be less surprise.
15:05Yeah, she's been trying to get me. Always 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...?
15:19Whoo!
15:21Good lad.
15:22Good speech.
15:24Hey, phone's away.
15:25All right, Dad.
15:27Right, 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.
15:38Could you have had the cake, though?
15:40Oh, it's really Ronnie Creamy.
15:42Ronnie 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?
16:03Yeah, 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.
16:18Hiya.
16:22Why's he smelling ours?
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.
16:33More just...
16:35asking 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.
16:48But he turns up sniffing around exactly when the money goes missing.
16:51Oh, come on. Somebody took it.
16:54And if it's not him, then who?
16:56And don't even say Daniel.
16:58You're basing this whole money-going-missing-in-a-lockup thing
17:01on one phone call from Damon.
17:04I mean, Damon.
17:06I mean, let's face it.
17:08If we were doing a top five of your dodgy boyfriends,
17:10he's straight in at number one.
17:12Shut up, David.
17:14And 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 up above.
17:20All right, fine. I get the point.
17:22Yeah, don't worry. Yeah, I'm on my way now.
17:25Yeah.
17:27I'm sorry, I've got her on, but 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 you going?
17:37What do you think I'm doing?
17:39He's hiding something. I'm gonna see what it is.
17:41Are 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.
17:50Thanks, Gemma.
17:52You 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.
18:03Oh, I'm fine.
18:05You know, I'd usually tell her to take all the time she likes,
18:08but we are short-staffed.
18:10Right.
18:12And I can't keep her shifts open forever.
18:15What, so you're saying that she needs to get over her twin dying
18:18cos she might lose her job?
18:20Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm not... I'm not saying that at all.
18:23What I'm saying is that I know more than most
18:26that, you know, the hurt, it's not gonna stop any time soon.
18:29So if she just... she wanted to start with the odd hour,
18:31just to ease herself...
18:33Oh, I'm sorry, Gemma. It's a no. She's...
18:35It's too soon.
18:37OK.
18:39I'm sorry.
18:51HE WHISTLES
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?
19:17Everything OK?
19:19Listen, 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.
19:26I think it's only fair that Nick moves back in
19:28and he can be with Sam.
19:30OK. Yeah.
19:32I just think it's right that Sam's with his dad
19:34and he doesn't have to move out again.
19:36Yeah, no, I totally get that. Yeah, but, OK, where were you thinking...?
19:39Well, actually, I've... I've already found somewhere.
19:42Craig's gonna move in with Kirk and keep him company, you know,
19:45now that Beth's gone.
19:48Right, so the salon flat's free?
19:50Yeah. Doesn'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, I'm not sure I'm in the right headspace
20:08to share with you at the minute.
20:13So, you two...
20:15don't think I haven't seen the looks.
20:17What looks?
20:19Between you both.
20:21Hey, Dee Dee, honey 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's that addressing your sap now?
20:33Listen, I don't think this is the time to talk about it.
20:36No, she's right. We need to talk about this.
20:39No, we don't. Ed, they're gonna keep on pestering me until I do.
20:44Anyway, here goes. Speech.
20:46Speech!
20:48To the love of my life.
20:50Oh, 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, uh...
21:10the surprises I throw your way.
21:13So, um, thank you.
21:15And thank you all for coming.
21:17Right, on by. Uh, who's for more champagne?
21:20Oh, uh, no, sir, go for me, please.
21:22All right.
21:24You tell her everything, all right?
21:26Give me a hand.
21:43He's not here. This was a stupid idea.
21:45We can't give up now. We need to find him.
21:47Let's go. I'm not going anywhere.
21:50We're not letting him get away with this.
22:08Dad.
22:10You went to see him that night, didn't you, both of you?
22:14You've got to believe me. We didn't lay a finger on him.
22:18But, yeah, we were there that night.
22:22We were going to drag him down to the cob shop.
22:25But when we got there, he didn't answer, so...
22:28we broke in.
22:30You broke in?
22:32We brought a crowbar.
22:34Then what did you do?
22:37We went on.
22:38That's it. We went home with our tails between our legs.
22:43Swore each other to secrecy.
22:46Yeah, again. I know.
22:48Hey, uh, do you want me to bring those over?
22:50No, we're fine, thanks, Nick.
22:54And that's it? After that, you called it off and came home?
22:57That's it. What, 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.
23:09It's macho nonsense, but I get that.
23:12What I don't get is why you didn't tell me straight away.
23:15We're together, remember?
23:17We're meant to sort stuff out like this together.
23:20I know. I know.
23:22I'm sorry.
23:24Come on, then.
23:26Shout at me.
23:28I 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. I mean, you're right, it's for the best.
23:43Does Sam know?
23:45Yeah, yeah, he's fine with it.
23:47Look, I would have run it past you first, but he brought it up.
23:50No, 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? Come on.
24:07You're gonna get two fridges to raid,
24:09double the number of streaming subscriptions,
24:11spare room to bob all your stuff in. Come on.
24:14Yeah, see, telescope out the window, you've got an observatory.
24:21Oh, you are kidding.
24:24Oh! Watch out!
24:26Oh, my gosh. I am so sorry.
24:29Sarah? Are you all right?
24:33Nothing's broken.
24:35You OK?
24:37Well, you be.
24:39When me mum finds out you're nipping off,
24:41having secret meetings with other women.
24:50I'm coming.
24:54Hey. Hiya.
24:56Um, I can't be long, cos I'm short-staffed.
24:59I didn't mean that in a Passag way.
25:02I 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. I'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 are you on about?
25:32Has Chesney not talked to you?
25:34Well, not since this morning, no.
25:36Oh, right. Um...
25:39Well, I... I rather clumsily...
25:42Passag?
25:44..told him that I couldn't hold on to your schist forever
25:47and that I hoped you'd be back at work soon.
25:50Right.
25:52Yeah, he has been mouthing, actually.
25:55Well, he's... he's just looking out for you.
25:57Yeah.
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 are you doing? You're not paying.
26:19It's your birthday. Yeah, Nick, if he goes anywhere near that Bill,
26:22I'm going to flame this place so hard, I'm going to improvise it.
26:25Oh, er, OK. Well, look, it's my birthday,
26:28so I get to decide who pays, right?
26:31I don't think it works like that. It definitely doesn't.
26:33Er, thank you. There you go, Michael. Yes.
26:35Hey, hang on a minute. I organise this. I'm paying.
26:38No, you're not. Nope.
26:40OK, let's just split it evenly, OK?
26:42Everyone except for me. No, no, no.
26:44All right, then. Get your little calculator out.
26:46I don't have a little calculator. I've got a phone.
26:49Hey, you don't need a calculator. Give it to you.
26:53Er, listen, you don't have to do that.
26:55Just part... Just...
26:57They're not listening.
26:59You're off keeping yourself out of this one, mate.
27:02Hey, you're all very quiet.
27:04Erm, yeah, sorry, I've got a bit of a headache,
27:07so I might head home, actually. Hey, 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, er, Ronnie went home.
27:26Ain't that right, man?
27:28Yeah, of course. Why do you ask me like that for?
27:30What do you mean? Right, wrong. You know I did, I told you.
27:33Well, I know, but I was just waiting for you to say it to confirm for Dee Dee.
27:37Why do I need to confirm?
27:39Flippin' heck. No, go on. You don't believe me.
27:43Yeah, of course I believe you. Look, it's fine, guys.
27:46Do you want to try that again? Look, can you blame me?
27:49I mean, you were really het up.
27:51We both were, and we both called it off.
27:53What, you think I went back there, finished off the job?
27:57Oh, my days. Of course not.
27:59Everything all right, lads? Yeah, everything's, er, fine.
28:02Actually, I was just saying, I've got a bit of a headache,
28:04so I think I'm gonna skip the phone.
28:06What? I've got some paracetamol, if you want.
28:09I'm OK, sir. Sorry, everyone.
28:11That's too much, look. It's fine. I'll put it towards the tip.
28:17Now see what you've done.
28:19It's been a tough few days. I'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. Yeah, right, course it was.
28:32And what's my mum? Yeah, I was getting with her
28:35just to pass the time until you could get with this one.
28:37This one? Oh, wait a minute, don't tell me.
28:40Your mum's Eileen, right? No, me mum's Gail.
28:43Who's Gail? Well, she's Eileen's sworn nemesis.
28:47It's very complicated. And you're with Gail?
28:50Well, not with, with, no, but I am with her mother.
28:57Oh, yes, with my mother,
28:59and going on nice little trips away with my mother.
29:02It was only a night in Whitby. Oh, nice.
29:05I think it's not even dry in the divorce papers
29:07and you're on a dirty weekend with Whitby woman Gail.
29:09It was hardly dirty. Oh, I don't even want to know.
29:11So was he cheering on you as well, then?
29:13Like highly, and is that why you're divorcing him?
29:15Just hang on. No, no.
29:17Jesse's an idiot, but, well, he's a good man.
29:20If you must know, it was me that was cheating when he was inside.
29:24Inside, like prison?
29:26Look, please, please, can we just concentrate on the good man bit?
29:30I'm sorry. I'll be in touch about the house, Jesse.
29:33OK, look, but, please, I was going to tell you about Gail.
29:41What? Why are you even here?
29:45Because I've been following you.
29:47Of course you have.
29:49Why are you lot so suspicious of me?
29:51Oh, come on, we both know. We both know what?
29:53You know. I don't.
29:55The money. What money?
29:57You mean Gail's money? No, the...
30:01You don't know? What the hell are you talking about?
30:05You don't know.
30:15SHE GASPS
30:19PHONE VIBRATES
30:26PHONE VIBRATES Yes?
30:30Dad, I'm... I'm fine, I just...
30:33Please, Dad, I...
30:36OK, OK, it's open.
30:44SHE PANTS
30:55Didi, I'm so, so sorry.
30:58It's just a headache, Dad.
31:00Yeah, you said. Look, I brought some pills.
31:03Look, you take these. Go sit down, I'll go get some water.
31:07SHE PANTS
31:10Listen, I'm serious. Scream at me, shout at me, I deserve it, all right?
31:15What me and Ronnie did was stupid.
31:22Whatever we thought of Joel, there's no excuse.
31:26SHE SOBS
31:36SHE SIGHS
32:00I'm so sorry we didn't tell you straight away.
32:06I already knew, Dad.
32:10What?
32:13That night, I...
32:16I heard you and Uncle Ronnie arguing in the yard when he dropped you home.
32:21Oh, love.
32:24I should have said something sooner.
32:27I don't know why I didn't, I just...
32:30Maybe part of me was glad.
32:32You know, glad that my family, my dad,
32:34had gone out to make sure he was going to pay for everything he'd done.
32:37Listen, we didn't do anything, I swear.
32:39What we said in the bistro was the truth.
32:41When we realised what we were doing was so stupid, we went home.
32:44Ronnie, too. He was mortified up to me, but...
32:48But we didn't do anything.
32:50I know, Dad.
32:52I believe you.
32:55I know I've lied to you in the past.
32:57It's OK. I 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. Oh, nix.
33:17Has he ever used it?
33:19Yeah, fair point, actually. I love it.
33:22Oh, 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.
33:35Have you talked to Les lately?
33:37Yeah, I spoke 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.
33:47Did you?
33:48No, I said nothing much had happened.
33:50Could hardly hear him anyway. I think he was at some wrestling show.
33:54Wrestling? Yeah.
33:56He said something about meeting up for a drink,
33:58but when I messaged back... He 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. Unless there's rats in it.
34:15Then 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.
34:30Um... I'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. Especially 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? I 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.
35:00In fact, I'm going to get online right now
35:02and, er, I'm going to see what's out there.
35:04Yeah.
35:08Hey.
35:10Is Bethany back yet?
35:12Er, no, hopefully tomorrow,
35:14but will you send her some more TikToks? Cos it does cheer her up.
35:18Right. Hello?
35:21Who?
35:23Is Mum in?
35:25No, she's staying at Jessie'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.
35:34You'd know all about dodgy. Oh, David, shut up.
35:37Tell me to shut up. You're the one who called round here.
35:40Did you know that Jessie's been to prison?
35:43No.
35:45Doesn't want to say.
35:47Well, my money's on her, have you?
35:50Maybe. 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,
36:04we're going to be the target of Weatherfield's kingpin of crime.
36:20CASH REGISTER RINGS
36:37She OK?
36:39She'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.
36:49She thought we might have. Exactly.
36:51Enough to give anyone a headache.
36:53Hey, Ed's back.
36:55Well, here he is. Funny how you sneaked out when it was your round.
37:00Well, is Dee Dee all right?
37:02All right, look, Sam, you...
37:05We've got something to tell you.
37:10Come on, brother dearest.
37:12I think Abi needs to take you home.
37:14Oh, do you think? I'm not leaving.
37:16Not unless we're getting a kebab.
37:19In which case, I'm getting a kebab.
37:21Ah, thought you'd never ask.
37:23Erm, kebabby?
37:25Eat it here.
37:27Ta-ra.
37:30All right. Right, go on.
37:32What is it?
37:36Oh, hi, mate. I'm not with you.
37:38No, I convinced her I wasn't going to bleed to death if I came by myself.
37:41OK, look, get out the way of the door.
37:44Sorry, I know I shouldn't be by here,
37:46but it turns out we're out of black peppercorn.
37:48And we're having eggs.
37:50And you can't really have eggs without them.
37:52Oh, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
37:54Yeah, hang on. Is everything all right, though?
37:57Yeah.
37:58It's good that Leanne's just moving round the corner, isn't it?
38:01Yeah. Auntie Toya's been helping her pack.
38:03Oh, well, that's good.
38:05She's nicking the earth, right?
38:07Well, predictable.
38:09And planning on moving out tomorrow.
38:11Wow. That's quick.
38:13Yeah.
38:15Next year, I'll have the anniversary
38:17of losing two mums on two consecutive days.
38:25Mate...
38:26No, sorry. That was meant as a joke.
38:29Honestly, I get that it's for the best.
38:32And like you say, she's just round the corner.
38:35You're not losing Leanne, you know.
38:37Look how close she is to Simon.
38:39Yeah, I know. I know, honestly.
38:41It was just a bad joke.
38:43You'll be able to see her whenever you want.
38:45Yeah. I know.
38:48Pepper?
38:50Yeah, yeah, OK, yeah.
38:52Er, eggs.
38:54There we go.
38:56See you later.
38:57Yeah. Enjoy your eggs.
39:02I don't believe this.
39:04No, actually, I do.
39:06No, actually, what am I saying? Of course I believe it.
39:08You playing the hard man acting, you lying about it.
39:11Look, Michael... No, he's right. I deserve that.
39:14I held my hands up. We both did.
39:17What we did was stupid.
39:19Oh, forgot your keys.
39:21Oh.
39:23Just had a craving for some crisps.
39:25Mm-mm.
39:26Do you fancy a brew?
39:27Ooh, go on, then.
39:31You realise I, um...
39:33What's the word? I perjured myself because of you.
39:36I told him that you were in all night.
39:38No, you said you thought he was in all night.
39:42You were asleep.
39:43OK, 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?
39:50She's...
39:52agreed 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.
40:05And 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.
40:13Look, I believe you.
40:15I know you had nothing to do with it.
40:17Well, glad to know.
40:19Yeah, 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.
40:30Can't sleep.
40:33You OK?
40:35Mm-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.
40:55This is where you're going to have a go at me for interfering?
40:58No.
41:00I get it.
41:04I just...
41:06It feels weird just carrying on like normal.
41:11Well, that's why you don't have to, Gem.
41:15I do.
41:17We need the money.
41:19And I can't just keep sitting here while you're working so hard.
41:22You're going to have to keep your eyes open.
41:25And I'm fine.
41:27Are you, though? Really?
41:29Yeah.
41:31Well, I've got to be.
41:33You know it's going to change, is it?
41:36He's not coming back.
41:39And I can't just be sad forever, can I?
41:44Gemma, come here.
41:47Sorry it's late, but this can't wait till tomorrow.
41:51Right.
41:53How are you so calm?
41:55I thought you'd been marching him down to the police station.
41:58Because they didn't do it.
42:00OK, but do you really think the police,
42:02the same police who locked up Roy Cropper for murder,
42:05are going to look at the dad and the uncle of the victim
42:08and say,
42:09I don't know what you're talking about.
42:11I don't know what you're talking about.
42:13Are going to look at the dad and the uncle of the victim's ex-fiance
42:17and believe that?
42:19You believe them?
42:21That they broke in and changed their minds?
42:23Of course I do, don't you?
42:27Yes, yeah, yeah.
42:29Look, I can't deal with this right now.
42:31I need to go to bed.
42:34Someone was looking for Joel that evening.
42:36And whoever that was finished the job.
42:43OK.
43:13I'm sorry.
43:16I'm sorry.
43:23I'm sorry.
43:26I'm sorry.
