00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 Stephen?
00:27 Oh, uh, I'm in here.
00:29 I didn't hear you get up.
00:34 Uh, yeah, I just had some work to do.
00:36 And I-- yeah, I wanted to finish it before--
00:38 before you saw.
00:39 Hm, right.
00:41 Yeah, listen, I-- I promise.
00:43 That's the last of it.
00:44 This trip's about you and me.
00:46 No more distractions.
00:48 And I mean it.
00:49 I know you've been feeling underappreciated lately.
00:51 And, well, maybe I do find it difficult,
00:54 after what I went through with Gabrielle, to really
00:57 let my guard down.
00:58 But it is exactly what I want.
01:00 Just-- just you and me.
01:03 So when we get back, I'll, uh--
01:05 I'll talk to Carla about winding down.
01:07 In a year?
01:11 Well, I-- I couldn't leave her in the lurch.
01:13 And she'll need my help with the sail.
01:15 But, uh, this time next year, that'll be it.
01:18 I'll have retired.
01:19 And then I can find that cottage by the sea with you.
01:23 Seagulls swooping over the waves.
01:27 Hey, like I say, let's, uh--
01:28 let's give it a test drive while we're away.
01:30 See what our-- our future could be like.
01:33 I'm not sure Matlock has seagulls, but--
01:38 hey, I-- I see you've been-- you've been reading poetry.
01:40 Oh, yes, it's a bit silly.
01:42 But I always take poems on holiday
01:44 when I've got time to read.
01:47 Probably seems a bit pretentious.
01:48 Not at all.
01:51 It was Roy who suggested Anne Bronte.
01:54 I really like that bit.
01:55 "But he that dares not grasp the thorn
02:01 should never crave the rose."
02:04 I like that.
02:05 Basically, you have to take the rough with the smooth.
02:07 Very true.
02:08 "Arm, arm thee for the fight.
02:13 Cast useless loads away."
02:15 Hm.
02:19 "Cast useless loads away."
02:21 What's that?
02:22 Just this-- this next line.
02:24 "Watch through the darkest hours of night.
02:27 Toil through the hottest day."
02:28 And people have a go at me for hogging the bathroom.
02:39 There's not going to be a drop of hot water left.
02:41 All right.
02:42 Glad to have a shower.
02:43 Yeah, you need to get up earlier, Gail.
02:45 That tank's got about three hot showers in it, tops.
02:48 Well, why is she getting up so earlier anyway?
02:50 She said she wasn't going to her dad's sentencing.
02:55 Yeah, she's not.
02:57 Which is good, isn't it?
02:58 You know, it shows that she's, like,
03:02 breaking the hold he has over her.
03:04 I mean, he is her dad.
03:05 Well, I don't want you hanging around the house all day.
03:08 I've got Sarah coming over.
03:10 Great.
03:11 So now you're kicking us out the house as well.
03:13 I mean, I'm meant to be trying to take her mind off things.
03:16 Yes, well, go out somewhere.
03:18 To the pictures.
03:19 All with both skin.
03:21 Can't even afford a coffee.
03:24 Right, Roy's not in today.
03:25 So why don't you pop over at lunch this afternoon?
03:28 I'll see if there's any leftovers.
03:30 Thanks, Jonah.
03:31 I've finished in the shower.
03:33 Finally.
03:34 I'll warn you, it got a bit cold at the end, though.
03:36 [LAUGHTER]
03:40 Addy's sorting a few shifts in here a week.
03:42 Extra cash, you know.
03:44 Does dad give you danger money when
03:45 you're on ship with Evelyn?
03:46 Oh, it's not that bad a ship, though.
03:50 Oh, look at you, a dapper Dan.
03:52 Oh, all suited and booted.
03:54 I approve.
03:55 All right, all right.
03:56 First day on the job, innit?
03:58 Gollum part.
03:59 You look like someone's put your dad on a hot wash.
04:01 Eileen.
04:02 It does.
04:03 Is that actually one of his suits?
04:04 No, I own a suit.
04:06 Dad insists I wear it.
04:08 Reckons if Darren takes me more seriously,
04:10 he's more likely to let him invest in this fresh coat thing.
04:13 Well, I think you're going to do great.
04:14 Just don't forget us when you become a big business tycoon
04:17 sailing on your mega yacht.
04:18 You can totally have a go at my mega yacht.
04:20 Before then, though, I was wondering if you
04:23 wanted to grab a drink later.
04:25 I can fill you in on how it went.
04:27 I'm really sorry, but I can't.
04:28 I've got that charity gala thing, you know,
04:30 for the shoulder volunteers.
04:31 Oh, no, yeah, no props.
04:33 I mean, come along, if you fancied it.
04:36 Think they want as many people there as poss?
04:37 Pretty sure it's going to be canapes.
04:39 Yeah, sure, sounds good.
04:41 Two secs.
04:43 Uh, it was the suit that nailed it.
04:46 Us girls can't resist a man in a suit.
04:49 Hey, you meant to that, haddy?
04:51 Hello.
04:55 Ah.
04:55 Hello.
04:56 Hey, Lane.
04:57 Thought you guys were off to the peaks.
04:59 Yeah, we're just on our way.
05:00 But I was wondering if you still have that picnic basket?
05:04 Yeah, yeah, it's in the annex.
05:07 Planning a romantic picnic en route?
05:09 Something like that, yeah.
05:11 Oh, you're going through old photos.
05:13 Yeah, Harry's got a project at school, my family.
05:16 Any excuse to get the photo box out?
05:19 Oh, look at Sally.
05:21 Yes, her Rosie and my David were born just one day apart.
05:27 We always thought they were fated to be together.
05:30 What a nightmare.
05:33 And here's a picture of Sally on her wedding,
05:37 second wedding to Kevin.
05:39 Oh, didn't know they were married twice.
05:41 Oh, well, it's a long story.
05:43 But we can fill you in.
05:44 Yeah.
05:45 Right, I'd better get this filled up.
05:47 Oh, we've got tea in the pot if you want one.
05:49 Oh, if that's OK.
05:51 Sure, as long as you promise not to show
05:53 any awful photos of me.
05:54 Oh, you are so vain, Sarah, making me a cup of tea.
05:58 Oh, don't worry, I can get it.
05:59 Oh, no, no, it's fine.
06:00 However, I do expect to be weighted on a hand
06:02 of a full-length round.
06:03 I bet you do.
06:04 Oh, yes, congratulations.
06:06 When are you due?
06:07 End of January.
06:08 Oh, is that my Tim?
06:09 Aquarius.
06:10 Now that he's gone, have you got any old photos of Stephen?
06:17 Well, I just was looking at a few of us in Canada.
06:22 Really?
06:23 Yeah, look, Stephen was never one for photos.
06:27 But I think I managed.
06:29 Here's one of him with his ex, Gabrielle.
06:33 I don't know why she was so awful to him.
06:36 She was nothing but nice to me.
06:39 That's her.
06:41 That's Gabrielle.
06:42 Yeah, that's right.
06:43 Hey, hey, sit down.
06:50 Let me do that.
06:52 No, it's fine.
06:52 I'm nearly done.
06:53 But I'm supposed to be looking after you.
06:55 I can make a cup of coffee.
06:56 After what you've been through?
06:57 I can still make a cup of coffee.
07:00 Sorry, sorry, I'm just trying to be nice,
07:02 and here I am shouting at you.
07:03 No, it's good.
07:04 It's normal.
07:05 Oh, thanks.
07:06 No, normal's good.
07:08 So have you heard from him?
07:11 No, nothing.
07:13 What's he going to say, that he's made a huge mistake
07:15 and he's going to give it all up for me?
07:17 I'm tired.
07:19 It's stupid, but I just keep thinking,
07:20 like, after all these years, that maybe that's
07:24 the last conversation I'll ever have with him.
07:26 Oh, I'm so sorry.
07:28 Yeah, look, don't be.
07:29 Don't be nice to me, I'll start crying again.
07:31 OK, well, shall I shout at you about coffee then?
07:33 Yeah, sounds like a plan.
07:35 Oh, come here.
07:36 Well, have a lovely time.
07:44 And remember to send the Black Chat a picture
07:47 of you on the cable, girl.
07:48 We will.
07:49 Shall we?
07:50 Everything OK?
07:53 Get-- I just remembered, I need to pop
07:58 to the co-op for something.
07:59 I'll drive you around.
08:00 No, no, no, no.
08:02 I could do with a bit of fresh air before the drive.
08:04 I'll only be a couple of minutes.
08:05 OK.
08:06 Perhaps we should get a move on.
08:14 It's your fault. You wanted us to get lunch from this cafe,
08:18 and therefore I have to order something I like.
08:21 We could go somewhere else.
08:22 No, please don't.
08:24 Anything but that.
08:25 It's just I'm supposed to be leaving Rita.
08:28 Oh, hi, Rita.
08:29 Oh, Rita, I'm so sorry.
08:30 I don't want to hear Brian Packham.
08:32 Three weeks I've been working in that shop,
08:35 while you went gallivanting off all over the place
08:37 with that one. - That one?
08:39 Yes, you.
08:40 And just because you're back, don't
08:41 think you can leave me in the lurch again,
08:43 because you've got another thing coming.
08:45 I'm so sorry.
08:46 We're just--
08:47 Go all this fuss about running a little shop.
08:50 It's not like you have any customers.
08:52 I'll do it.
08:54 Order whatever you like.
08:55 It all tastes the same.
08:59 She is horrible.
09:00 Oh, I'm saying nothing.
09:02 I know, I know.
09:03 She's going soon, I think.
09:05 Don't you think you should keep an eye on her?
09:07 She's got the keys, and she says that she's
09:10 going to cover the shop.
09:12 Oh, my goodness.
09:13 Two of whatever sandwiches you can make the quickest,
09:15 please show now.
09:30 Mum?
09:32 Mum?
09:33 Are you all right?
09:35 Tim, no.
09:36 No, it's not. It's not.
09:38 It's happening again.
09:39 Will you calm down?
09:39 What is? - I can't.
09:40 I can't.
09:41 He might see us talking.
09:43 It's OK.
09:44 No.
09:45 No.
09:46 Stephen's been lying to me, and I can't do this again.
09:49 Not after your father.
09:50 Right. You're coming home with me.
09:52 No.
09:53 No, he's waiting for me outside Gale's.
09:55 We're supposed to be--
09:56 we're supposed to be going away together,
09:57 and I can't trust him.
09:59 I can't.
10:00 Hello, your call cannot be taken at the moment.
10:06 Please leave a message after the tone.
10:08 Hi, Elaine, it's me.
10:14 I'm still waiting in the car, and I'm just calling
10:18 to check if everything's OK.
10:21 Give me a buzz.
10:22 Bye.
10:24 [BEEP]
10:25 [SIGHS]
10:29 [DOOR OPENS]
10:29 [GASPS]
10:30 You're absolutely sure it was her?
10:32 Oh, don't.
10:33 Don't doubt me.
10:34 I just want to check.
10:35 Yes, it was her.
10:37 Gabrielle was the person he was talking to on the video call.
10:42 He said she was a business associate.
10:45 He-- he said she worked for a consultancy, Siegel.
10:49 Oh, my god.
10:50 Siegel.
10:51 He's always going on about this house by the sea with Siegels.
10:54 All right, slow down.
10:55 No, no, no, no.
10:56 I'm right about this.
10:57 I promise you.
10:58 And he's always-- he's always so shifty.
11:02 Yeah, he's always squirreling things away when
11:05 he thinks I don't notice.
11:06 Where?
11:07 What?
11:08 Where is he always squirreling things away?
11:10 Oh, in-- in this big red box.
11:12 In there.
11:14 In there.
11:15 Oh, Timmy keeps it locked.
11:19 He's told me all this stuff about Gabrielle,
11:22 how she bullied him, how she coercively controlled him.
11:26 I mean, we've-- we've talked about recovering
11:28 from a toxic relationship.
11:32 If he was lying about that, what else has he been lying about?
11:36 Well, there's only one way to find out, isn't there?
11:38 Oh.
11:40 Tim, what did you do that for?
11:41 To get some answers.
11:42 What's that?
11:48 Joint life insurance.
11:49 We don't have joint life insurance.
11:51 I didn't sign this.
11:55 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:01 Enough.
12:12 I can't do this.
12:13 Get your own.
12:15 [SPEAKING ITALIAN]
12:17 Excuse me?
12:18 Well--
12:19 [DOOR OPENS]
12:21 I think she just called me a cabbage.
12:23 What did you do?
12:24 I merely asked for 100 grams of pear
12:26 drops instead of my usual quarter in deference
12:29 to a nation's adherence to the metric system.
12:31 I meant no cultural appropriation.
12:34 Brian.
12:35 I know.
12:36 I know.
12:37 Mary, I'm-- I'm so sorry.
12:38 This-- this is the last thing I wanted you--
12:40 look, I've got-- I've got your little gift from my travels.
12:42 I'm sorry, too, Brian.
12:44 And I'm sure whatever souvenir or holiday
12:46 knickknack that you've picked out for me will be lovely.
12:48 But I'll be honest.
12:50 If there's anything you can do for me--
12:52 Anything--
12:53 You can allow me to buy my pear drops
12:55 without being harangued and compared to a brassica.
12:57 Good day.
12:58 Mary, wait. Don't go.
13:00 Let me at least get you your pear drops.
13:03 You have feelings for her, don't you?
13:05 Isabella?
13:06 No, you daft paper.
13:08 Mary.
13:09 Oh.
13:11 I mean, no, no.
13:13 Please don't tell anyone.
13:14 I, uh-- I can't get it out of my head.
13:18 I've known her for years.
13:19 I-- I-- I don't know what happened.
13:21 It was like a thunderbolt. Like a big, thunderous,
13:25 dew bonnie, pear drop scented--
13:29 Thunderbolt.
13:42 Why would he do this?
13:44 Why would he forge my signature?
13:47 Well, why do you think?
13:49 Do you need me to spell it out to your mum?
13:50 He's after your money. - No.
13:51 Well, of course he is.
13:52 Why else would he do this behind your back?
13:54 Oh, this can't be happening again.
13:55 That's right.
13:56 You need to check all your bank statements
13:57 and all your savings and stuff.
13:59 He says he's coming back.
14:02 Well, he can't do anything whilst I'm here.
14:04 Just-- just go and get some stuff together.
14:07 I'll take you back to ours.
14:08 I can't face him.
14:09 I have to get out of here now.
14:10 Well, you go, and I'll pack you back.
14:12 No, he'll see me.
14:13 Well, then wait with me.
14:16 I'll tell him to wait in the car,
14:18 and-- and-- and I'll go around the back way to yours,
14:22 through the conservatory.
14:23 You'll be quick, won't you?
14:25 You won't wait for him.
14:27 No chance.
14:27 We're going straight to the coppers with this.
14:29 All right, I'll see you later.
14:33 Yeah, see you.
14:34 Thanks for this morning, Amy.
14:35 Yeah.
14:37 Wow, check that out.
14:39 Is that Addy driving?
14:42 Well, you let him drive that.
14:43 Better not let on to his boss that he crashed his last one.
14:46 Yeah, yeah.
14:52 Hey, Darren.
14:52 Yeah, I can see what you're saying.
14:56 I just don't see how that concerns me.
14:58 Get us a table, will you, mate?
14:59 Of course.
15:00 So long for tonight?
15:01 Of course.
15:02 Can I wear my suit?
15:03 Uh, perhaps not.
15:05 Fair dues.
15:06 See ya.
15:09 Let's get it done.
15:10 Well, boring.
15:11 Literally just been taxiing around and making coffee.
15:14 Tell a lie.
15:15 Did some photocopying.
15:16 That was fun.
15:17 Yeah, well, listen.
15:18 We've got to start somewhere, haven't we?
15:19 So?
15:20 I briefly mentioned the fresco deal,
15:22 but he said he didn't want to talk about it, so--
15:25 You want to talk about it then or talk about it at all?
15:27 I don't know.
15:28 I don't reckon either if I stand around chatting
15:30 rather than doing my job.
15:31 Of course, of course, of course.
15:32 Hey, listen, Addy.
15:33 Listen to me.
15:34 No.
15:35 Listen, as soon as you get the opportunity--
15:36 Yes, yes, yes.
15:37 I can try.
15:37 OK?
15:38 [SPEAKING ITALIAN]
15:48 Your Italian is embarrassing.
15:51 Offending me.
15:52 [SPEAKING ITALIAN]
15:55 It's not happening, all right?
15:56 [SPEAKING ITALIAN]
15:57 I'm not cheap.
15:58 [SPEAKING ITALIAN]
15:59 I'm not going to be cheap.
16:00 [SPEAKING ITALIAN]
16:02 You need to listen to that, and you need to go back to work.
16:04 [SPEAKING ITALIAN]
16:05 You need to speak to--
16:06 [SPEAKING ITALIAN]
16:06 All right?
16:07 Yeah?
16:08 Because you work with me.
16:09 Why are you asking my builder when he will finish?
16:11 Well, I just--
16:13 Are you trying to get rid of me?
16:14 You understand that?
16:15 Get back to me.
16:16 I thought the days of clandestine meetings
16:25 around here were over.
16:26 Yeah, well, you thought wrong.
16:28 To be honest with you, when I got your message,
16:30 I thought it might be--
16:31 What, a tryout to get you to talk to Taya?
16:34 Something like that.
16:35 Yeah, well, we don't all think like coppers, you know.
16:37 No.
16:40 Look, she doesn't even know I'm here.
16:42 If she did, she'd kill me.
16:44 Sorry, bad choice of word.
16:46 I'm so sorry.
16:48 Yeah, I know you are.
16:51 I'm just glad that she's safe and Maggie's behind bars.
16:56 Do you really have to leave?
16:58 I don't want to.
16:59 Well, look, Taya doesn't want you to either.
17:02 I thought maybe we could make it work down south together, but--
17:05 Well, you could quit.
17:06 But you can't, can you?
17:10 Because you and Taya are the same.
17:12 You always have been, ever since you were little more than kids.
17:15 Whenever there was a cause, you'd never back down.
17:17 It's important.
17:18 It's annoying.
17:20 A bit.
17:23 Look, if you are going to leave, just talk to her.
17:26 Leave it positive.
17:28 Positive?
17:29 Yeah, positive.
17:31 Look, I spent the last year helping her get over in Rant.
17:33 I don't want to spend the next year watching her get over you.
17:36 Yeah, I know.
17:41 Well, how about we go over the finer details at the club?
17:44 Sorry, can we have these to go?
17:46 Thank you.
17:47 You know me too well.
17:48 Well, I'll see you there, yeah?
17:50 OK, bye.
17:52 Sorry, I had to make a complete nightmare.
17:54 I've been neglecting you.
17:55 This was meant to be us getting to know each other.
17:57 Oh, it's fine.
17:57 Actually, I just wanted to talk to you about the fresco units.
18:00 Let's put something in the diary.
18:01 But before that, can I ask you a massive favor?
18:03 It would be an absolute lifesaver.
18:05 Of course.
18:06 Any chance you could be around to give my wife a lift?
18:08 She's got this thing on.
18:09 Honestly, it would be a huge help.
18:11 I'd really appreciate it.
18:12 And then what say we pencil in that chat
18:14 for the next couple of days?
18:16 OK, yeah, sounds good.
18:17 Mate, thank you so much.
18:18 Like I said, really appreciate it.
18:20 Oh, I should get this.
18:21 Matthew, do you hear the news?
18:23 I know.
18:24 I know.
18:27 Why?
18:28 Why would you call them behind my back?
18:29 Well, he wasn't behind your back.
18:31 It was just a quick call.
18:32 In front or behind, you still call them
18:34 because you want to know when you can get rid of me.
18:36 That's not true.
18:37 It is true.
18:38 It is true. - No, it is not true.
18:40 I was trying to phone your builder.
18:41 Oh, my bad.
18:42 Absolutely not.
18:43 You two will stay put.
18:44 You are not leaving me with them.
18:46 I just feel like we're eavesdropping.
18:47 Eavesdropping?
18:48 There's no three counties down, can there?
18:50 And we're hardly eavesdropping.
18:51 Just tell me the truth.
18:53 I am telling you the truth.
18:54 Do you want me to go?
18:58 Perhaps it's best, yes.
18:59 No.
19:01 Oh, are you-- no.
19:03 Don't cry.
19:04 It's OK.
19:05 You can come--
19:07 come back again soon, maybe in a year or so.
19:10 A year?
19:11 No, eight, nine months, Easter-ish.
19:13 I can't leave it that long.
19:14 Why not?
19:15 Because-- because I'm just so lonely, Brian.
19:23 You're the only friend I have.
19:25 [SOBBING]
19:28 Elaine?
19:37 What are you-- what is going on?
19:43 I'll tell you what's going on.
19:44 We're onto you, me and me mum.
19:46 We know everything.
19:47 What?
19:49 You heard.
19:50 Hey, Elaine!
19:51 She's not here.
19:52 You'll never get close to her or lay eyes on her ever again.
19:55 Where is she?
19:56 Right now, she's probably at home on the phone to the police.
19:58 Or maybe she's at the station, telling her everything.
20:00 You hang on!
20:01 Just you stay back.
20:04 OK, I'm not doing anything.
20:06 Just please tell me what is going on!
20:08 You're not listening.
20:09 We're onto you.
20:11 What the hell have you done?
20:13 We found the insurance letter with the signature
20:15 that you forged.
20:16 And mum saw a picture of Gabrielle, your ex-wife,
20:18 that you're supposed to hate.
20:19 You're pretending that you work with.
20:21 So come on.
20:22 What else?
20:23 What other lies have you said?
20:24 What are you laughing at?
20:25 I am laughing at you.
20:27 At you, Tim.
20:28 You pathetic, small, small man.
20:32 Well, you're onto me.
20:33 Oh, come on.
20:34 You have no idea what I am capable of.
20:37 Now get back.
20:38 Oh, come on.
20:39 You know nothing about me.
20:41 How could you?
20:42 Look at you.
20:43 You're just a small, small, basic man
20:45 with mummy issues who has no idea what you are missing with.
20:51 You-- you are nothing.
20:53 Nothing.
20:54 [YELLING]
20:55 Just get off!
20:56 Just stay away from me!
20:57 Get off, Tim!
20:59 [GRUNTING]
21:02 Get out!
21:03 Just stay away from my mum.
21:05 Get out!
21:06 Well, I hate to see good food go to waste.
21:14 Cheers, Janet.
21:15 Yeah, the bum were well nice.
21:17 All made by my fair hand.
21:19 Really?
21:19 No, you dozy mare.
21:21 The company drops them off.
21:22 You all right, Maxwell?
21:23 It's about my dad, isn't it?
21:29 How long?
21:35 18 years.
21:48 [GRUNTING]
21:50 Wait!
21:51 No.
21:56 No.
21:59 No.
21:59 [THEME MUSIC]
22:08 [MUSIC PLAYING]
22:11 Hey.
22:20 Stephen?
22:21 Stephen.
22:29 Hi, could I have an ambulance, please?
22:32 I can't understand why you want to get rid of me.
22:35 Throw me away like an old dish.
22:37 It's not true.
22:39 But you have to accept, you have been here for quite a while.
22:41 A blink of the eye, he goes behind my back.
22:46 I think he wants to bribe my builders to hurry up so he can
22:50 pack me off and banish me forever.
22:53 No, you got it all wrong.
22:54 Oh, no, no, no, no, not me.
22:56 No, no, I don't take sides.
22:57 No, strictly neutral.
22:59 I'm like Switzerland me.
23:01 Grazie.
23:03 I really think we should go.
23:05 I'm going nowhere.
23:06 I find my family.
23:09 I believe I have a true friend, and he stabs
23:11 me in the back like a snake.
23:13 Please don't say that.
23:14 The truth is he hates me, despises me.
23:17 I'm surprised he hasn't tried to strangle me in the night.
23:20 No.
23:22 You're a friend.
23:24 You are my family.
23:26 I don't want you to leave.
23:28 But that's not wholly true, is it?
23:30 What?
23:31 I'm sorry.
23:32 This is a difficult situation for Brian.
23:34 But the truth is he does want you to leave.
23:38 This has nothing to do with you, pear drop.
23:42 I'm afraid it does, actually.
23:45 I know that Brian likes you and that he's
23:48 enjoyed spending time with you.
23:50 But the truth is we are in love, and he's
23:56 asked me to move in with him.
23:58 Well, you kept that quiet.
23:59 I'll say.
24:00 We didn't want to upset you.
24:03 Is this true?
24:05 Our love may have grown in secret,
24:08 but now it is in full bloom.
24:10 And that is why we need you to move out, please.
24:14 So what did he say?
24:22 He wasn't very civil.
24:24 You told him it's over, that I can't be with a man
24:27 I can't trust.
24:28 Yeah, yeah, I told him.
24:29 How did he take it?
24:32 Well, he was pretty angry.
24:35 Do you think I should call or text him, maybe?
24:37 No, no, no, there's no need.
24:39 You're safe here now.
24:41 You sure?
24:43 Yeah, he won't be causing any more trouble.
24:45 Good.
24:47 Are you OK?
24:50 Me?
24:52 Yeah, I'm fine.
24:54 Course it isn't really over, is it?
24:57 Well, I think he got the message loud and clear.
25:00 I've still got so many things at the flat.
25:04 There's always so much stuff to untangle.
25:07 Well, we'll sort it.
25:10 Where's Lauren?
25:12 She's gone to the toilet.
25:13 Yeah, that were ages ago.
25:15 Yeah, well, she's upset about her dad's sentencing,
25:18 isn't she?
25:19 Oh, and aren't you, Mr. Sensitive, sitting
25:20 here checking your socials?
25:21 Well, what can I do?
25:22 He deserved to go down.
25:24 Yes, that may be true, but it's still her dad.
25:28 Yeah, I know that.
25:31 How long's she been in there?
25:33 I don't know.
25:35 Maybe I should check on her.
25:36 Oh, hiya, love.
25:38 You all right?
25:40 Yeah.
25:41 We were worried about you.
25:48 Not worried enough to make a statement.
25:50 If you'd have looked out for him, he wouldn't be
25:51 getting done for 18 years.
25:53 Lauren, you were asking me to lie.
25:55 Hang on, is this true?
25:56 He stopped me from going to court.
25:57 No, I didn't.
25:58 That is not fair.
25:59 What's not fair is that my dad's in prison.
26:01 Lauren.
26:05 I--
26:06 [DOOR OPENS]
26:07 I'll get the time.
26:08 I can see now why you called my builders
26:15 with your bad Italian.
26:17 Yeah, I'm sorry, but we want to be together,
26:21 to live together like a proper couple.
26:25 But my apartment is not ready.
26:27 Oh, it's nearly ready.
26:29 There are plenty of flights available tomorrow, I checked.
26:32 But I wouldn't just kick you out.
26:34 You could stay at mine for one more night.
26:37 You've got it all worked out.
26:39 Is this really what you want?
26:44 My heart is broken.
26:45 Yeah, sorry about that.
26:47 I feel like I'm losing you.
26:48 Not lost, just putting him back where you found him.
26:52 When do you want to move in?
26:53 As soon as possible.
26:57 So what's wrong with a surprise party?
27:00 Oh, I love a surprise party.
27:02 What's wrong is they always go wrong.
27:04 Why don't we just take it to the bistro, have a nice lunch?
27:07 Because I want to make a fuss.
27:09 Well, does she want a fuss?
27:10 Have you asked her?
27:11 No, because if I ask her, she'll just say,
27:14 no, I don't want a fuss.
27:16 Well, there you go.
27:17 Because if you ask anyone, they always say,
27:20 no, I don't want a fuss, even if what they really
27:23 want is a great big fuss.
27:26 I just think she would be more than
27:28 happy with a nice lunch, and a cake, and some candles.
27:32 Well, I wouldn't.
27:34 I'd be completely underwhelmed.
27:36 So what you're saying is for your birthday, you want a fuss.
27:38 You want a big mountain of fuss.
27:40 No.
27:41 I don't want you to go into any trouble.
27:44 Or do I?
27:45 She does.
27:46 Oh, David's right.
27:48 You're getting worse.
27:50 Hello, David.
27:52 Oh, look how young and beautiful
27:54 we look in that picture.
27:56 What?
27:58 Well, what's he doing in hospital?
28:00 Hey.
28:05 Hey.
28:07 How are you feeling?
28:08 Pretty much the same as the last time you asked me.
28:11 OK.
28:13 So have you heard from--
28:17 Who?
28:18 Him.
28:19 Him?
28:20 Taya, you know who?
28:21 No.
28:22 Why would I hear anything from him?
28:24 I don't know, but he's still got some stuff here.
28:26 So I imagine he'd want it back at some point.
28:28 Yeah, I suppose.
28:30 Well, we could just bag it up and take
28:31 it round to the charity shop.
28:33 Recycle, move on.
28:34 [BELL RINGING]
28:35 [SLURPING]
28:37 Oh, well, that's interesting.
28:40 What's that?
28:41 Spider, seeing if he can come round and pick up his stuff.
28:45 Do you know anything about this?
28:47 No.
28:49 You are so suspicious.
28:50 You should be a cop.
28:51 Oh, actually, that's not a bad idea.
28:53 You could solve all your problems, fight crime together.
28:56 Don't joke.
28:58 Now, look, all right, if you don't want to see him,
29:00 I'll sort it.
29:01 You can go out.
29:03 No, I'm not hiding.
29:05 OK.
29:06 Hi, Amy.
29:16 It's Addy.
29:19 Still at work.
29:20 Don't know how long I'm going to be stuck here.
29:21 Sorry, but I'll keep you posted.
29:23 Hey, what do you think you're doing?
29:25 You're Addy?
29:26 Yeah.
29:27 Courtney, Darren's wife.
29:29 You've been waiting for me?
29:31 Look, sorry I took so long, but you know how it is.
29:34 You get talking and you lose track of time.
29:38 You OK?
29:39 Yeah.
29:41 So you're new.
29:43 Yeah.
29:43 And how long have you been waiting for?
29:46 Not long.
29:47 Honestly?
29:48 About 15 minutes.
29:50 Try again.
29:51 Close to about half an hour.
29:52 Any advance on half an hour?
29:55 47 minutes, exactly.
29:57 Look, every boss prefers honesty over politeness.
30:00 Although good manners can get you a very long way.
30:03 Good advice.
30:05 So I'll drive you home.
30:07 Actually, if you're not in a rush, I could murder a kebab.
30:10 A kebab?
30:11 Yeah.
30:12 Darren hates junk food, but I love it.
30:14 So do you know where we can get a good kebab from?
30:16 Tim.
30:20 Tim.
30:22 Oh, you're here.
30:23 Yes, I'm here.
30:24 Well, I've just been at Gail's.
30:25 She's been trying to call you.
30:27 Stephen's in hospital.
30:29 Hospital?
30:30 According to David, he was attacked.
30:32 He found him in the street.
30:33 He was unconscious with his head bleeding.
30:35 Well, he was fine when you saw him.
30:38 Yeah, yeah, he was-- well, not exactly fine.
30:41 Could somebody tell me what is going on?
30:43 Oh, well, look, I found that Stephen has been lying to me,
30:47 and I panicked.
30:49 It feels like Jeff all over again.
30:51 So I came here, and Tim dealt with Stephen.
30:55 Dealt with him how?
30:58 I just told him to stay away from me, Mum.
31:00 That's all.
31:01 So how did he end up collapsing the street?
31:03 It was an accident.
31:07 Oh.
31:08 What sort of an accident?
31:10 Well, he was mouthing off, and he was calling me a little man.
31:14 So I just gave him a little shove,
31:16 pushed him up against the wall.
31:18 You pushed him?
31:19 Yeah, just a little shove, that's all.
31:21 But he, um-- he banged his head, and he fell down,
31:24 and shouted at me, so I left.
31:26 Oh, Tim.
31:28 What have you done?
31:31 [MUSIC PLAYING]
31:35 Where's Stephen?
31:46 He's in surgery.
31:48 Doctor was just here.
31:49 Surgery?
31:50 Yeah.
31:51 What did they say?
31:52 They said they think he might have a bleed on the brain.
31:54 Could that mean brain damage?
31:56 I don't know.
31:57 Well, he was fine earlier.
31:59 He was going off to Matlock with Elaine.
32:02 How did he end up here?
32:03 I can't be sure about me.
32:04 If you ask me, it looks like somebody
32:06 whacked him over the head.
32:07 Maybe he was mugged.
32:08 Well, if he hasn't, he didn't take anything.
32:10 He still had his wallet on him, his watch.
32:14 Who you calling?
32:15 Elaine.
32:16 She's his fiance.
32:17 She needs to know what's happened.
32:19 Why would anyone want to attack Stephen?
32:21 [PHONE RINGING]
32:26 It's Gail.
32:27 Maybe you should answer it.
32:29 I can't.
32:30 I imagine she's at the hospital by now.
32:32 What do you keep looking at me for?
32:36 Are you sure he was OK when you left him?
32:39 Yeah.
32:40 Yeah, he was just shouting.
32:43 Gail's texting.
32:44 She wants me to call her.
32:45 Well, maybe you should.
32:46 Then say what?
32:48 You know, I've just dumped Stephen,
32:51 and then my son battered him.
32:53 He was OK when I left him.
32:54 He was just a shove.
32:55 That's all. He was fine.
32:56 He clearly wasn't fine.
32:58 He wasn't exactly singing and dancing, but he was breathing.
33:00 He told me to get out, and I just--
33:02 I just told him to stay away from me mum.
33:04 I don't know what to do.
33:06 Gail, again.
33:09 Stephen's in surgery.
33:11 He's got a serious head injury.
33:14 I swear to you, it was just a shove, OK?
33:15 He fell over, and he lost his balance.
33:17 That's all he did.
33:18 Well, look, if you want to go to the hospital--
33:20 No, no, no, no.
33:21 I can't do that.
33:22 Not now.
33:23 Right now, Tim's my priority.
33:24 One shish doner and chips with extra chili sauce.
33:34 Oh, that smells so good, doesn't it, yeah?
33:37 Oh.
33:39 Mm.
33:40 Doner'd die if he could see me eating this.
33:42 He's got a thing for healthy food.
33:44 Low carbs, low taste.
33:46 He thinks you are what you eat.
33:48 What do you think?
33:49 He's wrong with the treat every now and then.
33:51 Exactly.
33:52 You know what it is.
33:53 Mm.
33:57 Mm.
33:59 It tastes so good.
34:01 Do you come here often?
34:03 Don't lie.
34:04 You love a doner, don't you?
34:05 I know the owner.
34:06 Ooh, look at you.
34:08 Little mover and a shaker.
34:10 Oh.
34:11 [LAUGHS]
34:12 Look, I know this isn't the most healthiest option
34:15 in the world, but I had a prawn salad for me lunch
34:18 with sparkle and water.
34:20 I never even had a chardonnay.
34:22 What, what?
34:23 I'm fine.
34:25 Don't be worrying about getting your greasy fingers all over
34:27 Darren's precious steering wheel.
34:29 I've got wet wipes in my bag.
34:31 Maybe a couple of chips.
34:32 [LAUGHS]
34:34 Well, I can't say I expected to see you today.
34:40 Nice surprise.
34:42 I don't know.
34:45 In truth, I nearly came back last night.
34:48 But you didn't.
34:49 No.
34:52 Well, I think this is all of your stuff, and, um,
34:57 you better take this.
34:59 OK.
35:01 If we find anything else, Leanne said
35:03 she can send it on to you if you leave an address.
35:06 If you're allowed to leave an address.
35:08 Yeah.
35:09 Speaking of Leanne, has she, um, has she spoken to you?
35:13 Has she said anything?
35:14 Uh--
35:15 Oh, I knew it.
35:17 What did she say?
35:17 Did she tell you to come round here?
35:18 She's worried about you.
35:20 I'm worried about you.
35:21 She just can't resist sticking her nose in, can she?
35:24 Why would she do that?
35:25 She loves you, like I do.
35:28 Boy, you've both got a funny way of showing it.
35:31 Yeah.
35:39 18 years.
35:41 Yeah.
35:42 I know.
35:43 I've lost my dad forever.
35:47 I'm sorry, Lauren.
35:53 I just couldn't lie.
35:56 I mean, what he and Griff did, people could have died,
36:04 you know, and they knew that.
36:06 [SOBBING]
36:09 What am I going to do, Max?
36:12 What am I going to do?
36:13 It's just that I--
36:18 I don't know.
36:19 I just feel like I'm never going to see him again.
36:22 And I know what he did.
36:23 But I'm on my own now.
36:29 No, you are not on your own.
36:33 I am here.
36:35 OK, we were-- we were so close to something so bad,
36:39 and no one else understands.
36:41 Do you mean that?
36:46 Yeah.
36:48 Yeah, of course I do.
36:49 Gran's on her way.
36:59 She didn't text you while she was driving.
37:02 No, she's just set off.
37:04 [FOOTSTEPS]
37:07 Oh, nice suit.
37:12 I'm here about the assault.
37:15 Oh, right, about time.
37:19 Have you, um, given a statement?
37:22 No.
37:23 And are you not the victim?
37:25 No, that's Stephen, who's currently in surgery.
37:30 OK, well, I can take a witness statement off you,
37:32 and then I will speak to Stephen when he's well enough.
37:34 Right, yeah.
37:37 I'll get your note pad out, then.
37:40 I'm worried about Elaine.
37:42 I mean, I've texted her, and I've phoned her,
37:44 but she hasn't replied.
37:45 I mean, you don't think she's been hurt as well, do you?
37:49 We can check that out for you.
37:52 Right, so did you see the assault?
37:54 No, it must have happened, um, while I was in the barbers.
37:58 OK, so tell me, what did you see?
38:01 [DOOR OPENS]
38:02 Ah, the worker returns.
38:06 So, long date?
38:08 Yeah, you could say that.
38:09 Yeah?
38:10 Are we getting any closer to the bus?
38:12 I've been chauffeuring Darren's wife around
38:13 for the past two hours.
38:14 We've all got to start somewhere, son.
38:15 Only a matter of time before you start climbing
38:17 that ladder of success.
38:19 Do you know what she had me do?
38:21 Well, not unless you tell me something, though.
38:22 Fetch her a kebab.
38:24 Fetch her a kebab?
38:25 Yeah.
38:26 But don't tell Darren.
38:28 She loves him.
38:28 She doesn't approve.
38:30 Question.
38:32 From where did you fetch her the kebab?
38:34 From the shop, of course.
38:35 Yes.
38:36 Yes, you see, Arty, you've got brains for business here.
38:39 Never miss an opportunity.
38:41 Oh, you're back.
38:42 Just this minute, hard at work.
38:44 Shame you missed the charity event.
38:45 It was good.
38:46 Amy loved the band.
38:48 Yeah, sorry.
38:49 He's been a busy guy, making his way in the world.
38:53 Yeah, well, from what I've heard, he's pretty much
38:54 just a jumped up errand boy.
38:56 Listen, come on, don't make fun here.
38:58 Don't make fun.
38:59 We've all been there, you know, fetching
39:00 kebabs for the boss's wife.
39:02 It's, uh-- it's our secret.
39:04 So I guess this is it.
39:14 Yeah, I guess so.
39:18 You will be careful, won't you?
39:19 Yeah.
39:20 I wish I could be the person you want me to be.
39:26 Yeah, me too.
39:28 I won't have this job forever.
39:30 Maybe another five years, then I could retire.
39:34 Are you asking me to wait for you?
39:37 No, I would never do that.
39:38 This is tearing me apart.
39:44 Then don't do it.
39:45 I have to.
39:46 I do understand.
39:51 It hurts, but I do.
39:56 I got you something to remember me.
40:04 Like I could ever forget you.
40:07 Same.
40:07 Do me a favor.
40:11 Yeah.
40:13 Next time you decide to hijack a bin lorry, call me.
40:16 I'm really going to miss you.
40:22 I love you.
40:23 I miss you too.
40:24 [SIGHS]
40:25 [POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
40:36 Only us.
40:49 Oh, the lovebirds.
40:51 Has Isabella left the building, then?
40:53 Yeah, tomorrow.
40:54 We're giving her one more night to sort herself out.
40:57 But she's packing her suitcases.
40:59 Oh, that is good news.
41:00 Hey, we've got some good news as well.
41:02 Oh, really?
41:02 Yeah, we're going to turn your room into a multifunction
41:04 storage facility.
41:06 A what?
41:07 A kind of walk-in wardrobe, stroke home office,
41:10 stroke gym slash games room.
41:12 And why would you do that?
41:14 Because you're going to be living with Brian.
41:16 Ah.
41:17 Oh, I am so sorry.
41:20 We didn't mean to mislead you.
41:21 I'm afraid our relationship was a ruse to, um--
41:25 to persuade Isabella to move on.
41:27 A ruse?
41:29 So you're not moving out?
41:31 Well, no, sorry.
41:32 I-- I didn't think you'd be so chuffed to see the back of me.
41:37 You lied to us?
41:38 Oh, I was trying to help.
41:40 I-- I thought if I got the ball rolling,
41:43 everybody else would join in.
41:44 I must say, you were very convincing.
41:46 You almost had me believing you were madly in love with me.
41:49 I mean, how ridiculous is that?
41:51 So once you've got rid of your Italian cousin,
41:53 it's all back to normal then?
41:55 I'm afraid so.
41:57 You seem disappointed.
41:59 [SIGHS]
42:01 We'll manage.
42:03 Look, I did it to help Brian.
42:05 I could see he was being suffocated by that woman.
42:08 Because he didn't have the guts to tell
42:09 her how he felt himself.
42:11 Always pays to tell the truth, Brian.
42:13 George is right.
42:15 I-- I hope you've learned your lesson.
42:17 I won't always be there to, um--
42:19 to help you out.
42:20 That's a shame.
42:21 [CHUCKLES]
42:24 I think this chamomile tea is helping.
42:27 I do feel a bit calmer now.
42:29 Yeah, always helped me too.
42:32 Oh, this is such a mess.
42:34 I hope Stephen's OK.
42:36 Yeah, me and all.
42:38 Maybe something happened after you left?
42:41 Because David found him outside the flat.
42:44 Yeah, maybe he fell down the stairs
42:45 or somebody else bashed him.
42:47 Don't know how likely that is.
42:48 [KNOCKING]
42:50 Oh, I hope this isn't one of the plats.
42:53 Do you want me to tell them you're not here?
42:55 No, no, no.
42:56 Better face the music.
42:58 All right, mate.
43:12 Have you heard all about Stephen?
43:13 Apparently he's in hospital.
43:15 Stephen is in hospital.
43:17 And he has a serious head injury.
43:21 And we have got CCTV of you leaving his flat
43:25 just before he came out and collapsed on the pavement.
43:28 All right, listen. I swear to you.
43:30 It was just a shove. He fell over.
43:31 He was fine when I left.
43:32 It might be best not to say anything.
43:34 I was just looking out for my mum, that's all.
43:35 You've got no idea what that bloke's like.
43:37 I'm afraid I have to arrest you under suspicion of GBH.
43:40 Please, come on. Don't do that.
43:41 You do not have to say anything.
43:43 But it may harm your defense if you do not
43:45 mention when questioned, some of which
43:47 you'll later rely on in court.
43:48 Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
