00:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:35 If I were you, I'd stay out of my way.
00:37 I'm having my lunch.
00:39 Shona, you haven't replied to my message.
00:43 So I presume you haven't seen it or-- or having listened,
00:46 decided you were unable to elucidate
00:49 as to the reasons for Lauren's absence from her shift today
00:54 and decided it was futile to respond.
00:56 But if this latter sentiment is correct,
01:00 could I please ask you to reply regardless
01:04 so that I may eliminate this-- this line of inquiry?
01:09 Thank you.
01:11 It's raw, by the way.
01:12 I think she might have guessed that.
01:14 Apologies, sir.
01:16 Your usual, please.
01:19 Come on, Peter.
01:20 Can we move on?
01:21 You know, I-- I understand why you're upset.
01:24 Oh, you do?
01:25 I didn't think psychopaths were very big on empathy.
01:28 How am I a psychopath for telling the truth?
01:31 Stabbing someone in the back for your own gain,
01:34 I'd say that's psychopathic.
01:36 Carla's clearly prepared to move on.
01:38 Oh, really?
01:39 Oh, you think that's why she wants to meet up
01:42 with you about moving on?
01:44 She wants to come back to work.
01:46 Oh, yeah.
01:46 And obviously, she's going to be very happy with everything
01:49 you've been doing.
01:50 She's going to ease back in, not tread on anybody's toes.
01:53 Have you met Carla?
01:55 The only reason that she's going back
01:58 is so she can take complete control.
02:00 So I think you should get used to being way
02:03 down in that chain of command.
02:05 In fact, from what I hear, she can't
02:08 wait to take her factory back.
02:11 Her factory, not your factory.
02:13 Thanks, Roy.
02:18 Yeah.
02:19 I think your days are numbered around here, matey.
02:30 Stay with me.
02:34 Stay with me.
02:44 You better hope and pray that you make it safe back to--
02:53 oh, Dad, you're holding it the wrong way.
02:55 I told you, you have to film it on the side.
02:57 What?
02:58 Don't skate, Dad, not portray.
03:00 Sorry, sorry, I forgot.
03:02 Now we have to start all over again.
03:03 Can we practice on the solo again?
03:05 We've been doing that all morning.
03:06 Cos it's really hard.
03:07 Girls, girls, listen, both songs, brilliant.
03:10 Nina has done an amazing job.
03:11 Honestly, your mum's going to love it.
03:13 We wouldn't have to film it if she could
03:14 have just been bothered to come.
03:16 Don't be like that.
03:17 You know she'd come if she could.
03:18 She couldn't get the time off work.
03:19 And we get a holiday out of it, don't we, to Norfolk?
03:22 Why ain't Nan coming, though?
03:24 Well, I've told her she's not replied to my messages.
03:27 But, hey, I'm going to be there.
03:28 Uncle Chesney's coming.
03:31 Right, OK, I will try your Nan again.
03:33 Right.
03:35 It's just really high.
03:37 Then you shouldn't have asked for a solo, should you?
03:39 Hi, Nan, it's me again.
03:41 I know you probably know, but it's the girls' show today,
03:43 and they'd love you to be there.
03:45 Either way, just give me a call or a message, yeah?
03:47 Cos I've not heard from you for a while.
03:49 I'm going to be calling Miss Glenda about it.
03:50 Bye.
03:51 I haven't seen nothing about Miss Glenda.
03:52 Right, here we are.
04:03 And I think it's that one there.
04:06 Right.
04:07 Well, I'm sorry if it's not up to your usual standard of digs,
04:10 but really, we couldn't take advantage of James any more.
04:15 Anyway, it'd be a nice, easy commute for me for work.
04:18 (LAUGHS)
04:20 (SIGHS)
04:30 No.
04:40 No!
04:42 Oh, God.
04:44 (KNOCKS ON DOOR)
04:45 Decent.
04:46 No, no, no, hold on.
04:47 Just two secs.
04:49 One minute.
04:54 All right.
04:55 Fully decent.
04:57 Hey, erm, I thought I saw Aliou outside.
05:01 She wondered whether you wanted to go to the caf for a sign,
05:03 - haven't you? - Right.
05:05 Was there anything exciting?
05:07 Er, no, Z.
05:09 Well, I did sign for it.
05:11 Just some protein shakes.
05:12 Right. Not as boring, is it?
05:14 I did sign.
05:15 No, you didn't really, Ryan. You were a bit boring, aren't you?
05:17 Oh. OK.
05:19 Well, I just mean, you're stuck in here all the time,
05:22 behaving like a teenager. It's boring.
05:24 Right, thanks.
05:26 Are you going to meet Aliou then or what?
05:28 Er, yeah, yeah.
05:29 Good. Good.
05:31 Thanks, Corolla. Very motivational.
05:34 You're welcome.
05:38 I can't lie, it's slim pickings on the DVD front.
05:44 No. No. No more charity shop DVDs.
05:47 No more jigsaw puzzles. No more knit-your-own Harry Potter scarves.
05:50 Oh, that's a shame. I promised Hope I'd do her a Slytherin.
05:54 You know what they'd like more than a wonky old scarf, Mum?
05:57 A visit from the long-lost grandma.
05:59 No. No. You are not ready for that yet.
06:01 Oh, come on, Mum. I'm clean. It's been weeks.
06:04 I am... I'm more than clean. I'm sparkling.
06:07 And I'm so bored.
06:08 If I let you go, you know what's going to happen, don't you?
06:11 Well, after all this, why would I go back?
06:13 Because that's what you do, every time.
06:15 But it's changed now, hasn't it? Has it?
06:17 Yes, it has. I mean, if I stay clean,
06:19 I know that I have a chance of seeing him again,
06:22 of meeting my granddaughters,
06:24 of getting what you got a couple of years back when he found you.
06:27 A family.
06:29 Oh, no. No, it's too soon.
06:32 I'm not just saying we knock it on the head, Mum.
06:34 Just... just... just day release.
06:36 Hour release.
06:39 All right.
06:41 Five minutes to go downstairs and get a coffee.
06:43 A coffee? Yes.
06:45 A coffee. Baby steps.
06:48 Or make it a decaf.
06:50 Anyone would think I was enjoying this.
06:52 You say that, but...
06:54 but I know how much you love your knitting.
06:57 And it's the girls' summer spectacular today.
07:02 I've told Tyrone that I can't go.
07:04 Well, if you want to go.
07:05 No, of course I don't want to go.
07:07 Bunch of screaming kids singing "Fa la la la la."
07:10 God, God, awful.
07:12 No, but, you know, they want me there, so...
07:14 Of course they do, you're the nan.
07:16 Well, technically, you're not. I am, but...
07:19 Oh, come on, please.
07:22 Right.
07:25 It's half past 12.
07:27 You've got ten minutes.
07:29 And if you're not back by quarter to...
07:31 I will do. I promise.
07:33 Enjoy your knitting.
07:36 OK.
07:37 I have all the sites.
07:45 This feels like it could be the one.
07:47 I have no idea what I'm looking at.
07:49 Ooh, is this the site that's just come up?
07:51 OK. Uh, wow.
07:53 Yeah, it's, uh... There's work to do.
07:55 You can say that again.
07:57 Which is why we, uh, would get it cheap.
07:59 Which is why it would take years to see any return.
08:01 Well, this isn't your usual quick few quid
08:03 for a couple of weeks' work.
08:05 Oh. My usual, is it?
08:07 Yeah, ever since we were kids.
08:09 I mean, come on, I mean...
08:11 This is the treehouse all over again.
08:13 You are not still banging on about that treehouse.
08:16 OK, if you're doing childhood resentment,
08:18 if you need any more creative ideas, let me know.
08:20 I had it all planned out.
08:22 You planned a death trap?
08:24 I've still got a scar from when your poor collars fell on me.
08:27 Look what we ended up with.
08:29 A perfectly good treehouse. A boring treehouse.
08:31 And you are still complaining 40 years later?!
08:35 Because you're still doing it.
08:38 Taking the path of least resistance.
08:42 Zero ambition.
08:46 Oh, yeah?
08:48 And what do you do, eh, with all these plans?
08:51 Well, I, uh, I stretch myself.
08:53 And I succeed.
08:55 Hey, you should try it sometime.
09:00 (TV playing)
09:02 Uh, just please let me or Sharona know that you're OK.
09:10 Yeah?
09:12 I am sorry.
09:14 You know, I'm sure she was supposed to be on shift at the cafe today.
09:19 Tell you what, we've got no food in,
09:21 so how about I bob across in a bit, rinse my staff discount?
09:24 Trace, yeah.
09:26 I get that she doesn't want to speak to me, I just...
09:29 Hey, hey! The stuff's still here, innit?
09:31 So she's going to have to come back for it eventually.
09:33 Girls just don't like to be turned down by the boys they fancy, that's all.
09:37 She'll just be embarrassed.
09:39 So, what did she say this was about?
09:47 Uh, that she's ready to come back and take over again,
09:49 now that she's not, uh, selling up.
09:51 Take over? What, she said that as in,
09:53 "Don't worry, lads, I'm here now, I can take over,"
09:56 or take over as in, you know, hostile?
09:58 Uh, I don't know, I mean, it's Carla, so...
10:00 So, so hostile, then?
10:02 Well, the loo thing wasn't my, or, well, our fault, it was Peter's.
10:06 Yeah, well, she can't fire Peter, can she?
10:08 Well, she's not going to fire anyone.
10:10 Oh, come on.
10:12 Takeaway coffee.
10:13 What?
10:14 Haven't you noticed when, when Carla's in beast mode,
10:17 she always comes into a meeting with a takeaway coffee?
10:19 Otherwise she just makes do with one from the kitchen.
10:21 Oh, that's ridiculous.
10:23 Right, then.
10:26 What?
10:29 The person you are calling can't get to the phone right now.
10:47 Oh.
10:48 Please leave a message after the tone.
10:50 Cassie, it's me.
10:52 It's one o'clock. Where are you?
10:54 I...
10:57 Oh!
11:03 So, uh, you been practising with them, then?
11:07 Ha! Joking, aren't you? I'm word perfect.
11:09 I say, Leah, we should put ourselves forward as understudies.
11:12 You lot are lucky. Jakey's not told us anything, has he?
11:14 Literally no idea. Think he must be a bit embarrassed.
11:17 Nah, he wanted us to come. Can't be that embarrassed.
11:20 Maybe they'll see you.
11:26 Right, my little superstars.
11:31 Are we all ready?
11:32 What do we do if we muck it up?
11:34 Hey! Nobody's gonna muck it up.
11:37 Apart from him.
11:38 Bite me.
11:39 Oi!
11:40 It were a joke. Look, she's a vampire.
11:42 I'm not a vampire. I'm the Angel of Death.
11:44 Right, whatever you are.
11:46 You can't muck it up,
11:48 cos I've already seen how brilliant you are.
11:50 Just get out there and have fun, yeah?
11:53 Yeah?
11:54 Smash it on three.
11:56 One, two...
11:57 Smash it!
11:59 Let's do this, Musical-Isa.
12:01 Oi, cheer up.
12:04 You're always complaining that nobody takes any notice of you.
12:07 This is your chance.
12:08 Right.
12:09 Ladies and gentlemen,
12:14 and every gorgeous iteration in between and beyond,
12:17 please take your seats, because the show is about to begin.
12:20 Oi, the girls look great. Are you joining us?
12:25 Er, yeah, can't miss this.
12:27 Just wish that Nan could make it.
12:43 Hmm.
12:44 So, hopefully, we should be back on track within the next fortnight or so.
12:48 And that's it?
12:49 Erm, yeah.
12:51 I'll tell Sarah to expect normal services to resume as soon as possible.
12:56 Normal services?
12:58 Er, no hostilities?
13:00 Er, no.
13:02 Are you two OK?
13:04 You're acting very weird.
13:05 Oh, no, no, it's just, er, well, I'm happy you're feeling positive about things.
13:11 Oh, well, I am.
13:13 And, er, listen, you've done a really good job, Olive, anyway.
13:16 It's just that I'm really looking forward to things going back to the way things were.
13:20 Yeah, sounds good to me.
13:22 Er, and Lou?
13:24 Did you get the email?
13:25 Er, which email?
13:27 Well, she asked for a meeting in the Rovers this afternoon.
13:30 There might be some wiggle room.
13:31 Ah, that's great.
13:33 I'd, er, I'd obviously offer to go with, but what with the, er, Peter thing and everything.
13:37 Yeah, it might be best if we take a more careful approach.
13:40 I'm happy to go alone, if that's OK with you.
13:42 Fine by me.
13:44 OK, then.
13:45 Stephen, get out and see.
13:47 Oh, right, yes, er, of course.
13:49 Erm...
13:51 Er...
13:53 I'm glad you could come.
14:01 It's been a while since we've hung out.
14:03 Yeah.
14:05 And, I mean, you've clearly enjoyed that sandwich.
14:09 Sorry, I'm just not very hungry.
14:11 Yeah, I was a bit like that, after the attack.
14:15 No, it's nothing to do with that, I'm just...
14:17 I'm just not hungry.
14:19 Oh, OK.
14:21 Flippin' heck, there's a right racket coming out of the bistro.
14:24 It's the summer spectacular.
14:26 Well, it's very loud.
14:28 Oh, it's... Excuse me.
14:30 Right, I should probably get going, anyway.
14:33 Oh, erm, yeah, yeah, me too.
14:35 Like I say, it's been really nice to see you.
14:38 Yeah, me too.
14:40 No, Evelyn, there is no-one of that description here.
14:44 If you could just tell...
14:46 Hello?
14:48 Is everything OK?
14:50 I don't know.
14:52 Did you hear those messages I left for you?
14:56 Oh, no, no, I don't do voicemails.
14:58 Right.
14:59 Well, it was concerning Lauren, who's meant to be on shift.
15:03 Has she not been here?
15:05 No.
15:06 Right, I don't know whether to...
15:08 I don't know whether to lie and cover for her or to tell the truth.
15:13 Well, if you were to lie,
15:15 it would perhaps be more prudent to internalise that dilemma.
15:19 Yeah, good point. Erm...
15:21 No, we don't know where she is.
15:23 I'd hoped that she'd returned to your house last night.
15:26 Why would she do that?
15:28 # In case nobody told you today
15:32 # You're special
15:34 # In case nobody made you believe
15:38 # You're special
15:40 I can't do it.
15:41 # I will always love you
15:42 Yes, you can. I can.
15:43 Of course you can. You're brilliant.
15:45 # I'm so glad that you're still with us
15:48 # Broken, but then you're still perfect
15:52 # I know that I'm not alone
15:57 # Oh
15:59 # So I thought that I'd let you know
16:04 # Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
16:08 # Oh
16:10 # In case nobody told you today
16:13 # You're special
16:15 # In case nobody made you believe
16:19 # You're special
16:21 # Well, I will always love you the same
16:25 # You're special
16:27 # I'm so glad that you're still with us
16:29 # So glad, so glad, so glad
16:31 # You're still perfect
16:32 # So glad, so glad, so glad
16:34 # Special
16:36 # You are, you are, you are so special
16:41 # Mm, hey. #
16:46 CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
16:48 Yes, girls!
16:49 That was well good.
16:51 I'm so surprised.
16:53 Thank you so much for coming.
16:55 My little big shots have worked so, so hard to put this on today.
17:00 So give it up for them and remember...
17:02 # In case nobody told you today
17:06 # You're special. #
17:08 CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
17:10 Liza.
17:12 Oh, you're all amazing.
17:14 Glenda, that was brilliant. Proud of you, Jakey boy.
17:17 And he's not listening.
17:19 Hey, what are you doing here, anyway?
17:22 I just love kids singing.
17:24 No, I did hope to make up a show for my sister.
17:27 Oh, yeah? Never would have guessed.
17:29 You were amazing.
17:31 I don't know. I reckon Ruby was a bit pitchy.
17:33 Joking, joking. Did you film them?
17:35 Yes, of course I filmed it.
17:37 Stavelan, look what I've got on.
17:39 Hiya. Hiya.
17:41 Hey, you were both so good.
17:43 You hear that? You're getting compliments.
17:45 What's that?
17:46 Sorry, the mum and the nan couldn't make it,
17:48 so they wanted me to film it.
17:50 Yeah, I noticed Stavelan didn't make it.
17:52 Oh, yeah, James's friend, Kath.
17:55 Have you heard from my nan?
17:57 Because she's not been returning my texts.
17:59 About Diak.
18:01 Couldn't have a quick word in private, could I?
18:03 Um, yeah.
18:06 Hey, you know when you said you couldn't do Ruby as well to look like a...?
18:09 A goth. You can say it, you know it's not slur.
18:12 Aw, can you?
18:14 Come on, then.
18:16 Right, go on, girls. Have fun. See you later.
18:20 Is everything OK?
18:22 Just be... Thanks, mate.
18:25 Really?
18:28 I visit the shop and the cafe on the street where I live.
18:31 Peter, everything OK? Yeah.
18:33 I'm fine. This is a guy you've got to watch out for, Dev.
18:36 Who knows who he's going to stab in the back next?
18:38 You really want to continue making a scene about this?
18:40 You want everybody to know what you did?
18:42 I value and worry about yourself.
18:44 What does that even mean?
18:45 Well, it means I'm watching you.
18:47 You made a big mistake when you crossed me. I'm on to you.
18:51 Well...
18:55 Business dispute.
18:58 Do you know I've acted as a mediator in quite a few disputes with some of the boys at the golf club?
19:03 Yeah, sort of unofficial go-between.
19:06 You know, facilitator slash, well, you know, just a general...
19:11 good-vibe guru.
19:13 Well, I'll bear that in mind. Just that.
19:16 Cool.
19:17 Right, so Minanne's OK?
19:19 Yeah, yeah, she's fine. She's been staying with me and I've been going through some stuff and she's been helping me out.
19:27 I mean, the things I've been going through...
19:30 I'm better now, but, erm, it's been hard.
19:33 My whole life's been hard, but...
19:36 I'm sorry.
19:37 No, no, it's OK. I just...
19:39 I just don't understand why she wouldn't have told me.
19:41 Oh, that's my fault. I mean, that's all my fault and...
19:44 That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
19:46 Look, I'm really sorry to interrupt, but you couldn't gizzle off with the chairs, could you?
19:51 We're supposed to be out after an hour and all my little helpers have scarpered.
19:54 Of course.
19:55 Oh, you're a lifesaver.
19:57 Must be dead proud of them, the girls.
20:01 Yeah, I wasn't surprised by Ruby. It's normally Hope that likes to be centre of attention.
20:05 Did she get that from you?
20:07 No, no, we don't, erm...
20:09 We don't actually share the same genes, but I'd run a mile for them, some of that, me.
20:13 Me and all.
20:15 Hello?
20:23 All right?
20:29 I'm just grabbing my stuff.
20:31 We were really worried about you.
20:36 Yeah, well, you don't need to be worried about me any more. I'm going.
20:39 No, you need to stay here. We need to talk about it.
20:42 Not so loud.
20:43 Look, I know that you are embarrassed, but...
20:45 Just stop talking.
20:47 It's all right, love. I know.
20:49 And over the years, I've, you know, done some pretty mortifying things myself.
20:53 Never come on to Roy, like.
20:55 Shut up.
20:57 You...
21:00 You came on to Roy?
21:02 Oh.
21:04 You were talking about coming on to him, weren't you?
21:07 Lou, thank you so much for agreeing to meet.
21:15 I think you'll find it was me who asked for this meeting.
21:17 Oh, and I'm so grateful.
21:19 Listen, you have every right to be angry with Peter and, by extension, Carla,
21:23 but I know we can put this behind us for the sake of the future of our businesses.
21:27 No.
21:28 Like I said, after this contract expires, there is no future.
21:32 Oh, wait, now, hold on.
21:34 I'm not here to talk about that.
21:36 I'm here to talk about stolen typing.
21:41 Oh, thanks, my love.
21:45 Oh, no, thank you.
21:47 Because Hope and Ruby have loved being part of all this.
21:49 Yeah, they were all brilliant.
21:50 They were, weren't they?
21:51 Right, I'd better get back to the girls, but, er...
21:54 Tell Manan to call me, yeah?
21:55 Yeah, will do.
21:56 There is something else I don't know how to say.
21:58 Come on, let's go home now. That's enough. Come on.
22:00 What's going on?
22:02 You're my boy, Tyrone. I'm your mum.
22:04 Are you on something?
22:21 I'm your mother. I am.
22:23 And I know it's a shock, but...
22:24 Yeah, my mum's dead, right? Tell her.
22:26 No, tell her.
22:29 I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
22:31 You know your daughter.
22:35 No, you've done enough.
22:36 He had a right to know, and I had a right to tell him.
22:39 Not like that!
22:40 That was downright cruel!
22:42 Says you, keeping me under lock and key.
22:44 Our mum was your man, as she's normally right stickler.
22:47 Cassie, back from the grave.
22:49 Roy Cropper, a family friend.
22:51 Does Tyrone know about this?
22:53 Yeah, as of ten seconds ago.
22:55 I'd better find him. I'll leave you.
22:56 What a nightmare.
22:59 Luke, come on. This makes no sense.
23:02 It's the only logical explanation.
23:04 You were at my hotel yesterday.
23:06 Look, you're exhausted.
23:08 No wonder.
23:09 Please.
23:10 I know it was you.
23:12 Like you knew Rufus was Montferrat's watch?
23:17 When, in point of fact, Peter Barlow stole it months ago?
23:19 This is not a pile-on.
23:21 You have been left to raise the kids on your own,
23:25 take over the business, pick up the pieces.
23:27 I don't need your pity.
23:29 Empathy, actually.
23:31 It's a lot.
23:32 And I know you're sceptical about Rufus taking an overdose.
23:35 I get it.
23:37 But you are under enormous strain.
23:40 I'm thinking you probably haven't had a decent night's sleep in weeks.
23:47 I'm so sorry you're going through the ringer
23:52 and that Rufus has left you high and dry with doubts and conspiracy theories
23:58 to rob your peace of mind.
24:00 But please, no.
24:02 I did not steal the tie pin.
24:06 Well, you would say that.
24:08 But it's the truth.
24:10 All I can do now is ensure that the current and final contract runs like clockwork.
24:18 I would hate to add one iota to your stress levels.
24:22 Well, I think we're done, aren't we?
24:28 I mean, Roy, of all people.
24:46 When it comes to sex, I thought that all blokes were the same.
24:49 Not Roy.
24:51 Yeah, I know that now.
24:53 What were you thinking?
24:56 I don't know.
24:58 Trying to return the favour, I suppose.
25:01 Do something nice for him.
25:03 What's with the face?
25:10 It's just a lot, you know? I can't get my head around it.
25:14 It's all about you.
25:16 Is Roy OK?
25:21 Roy's OK.
25:23 Good.
25:25 It means I can leave Weatherfield without stressing about him.
25:28 You know, you don't have to leave.
25:30 I do crazy things all the time.
25:33 But then again, I do have the excuse of a brain injury, so...
25:36 I've got to get away from here.
25:41 Well, I'm really going to miss you.
25:44 Come here, bring it in.
25:46 Oh, erm, there's a load of your stuff in the ironing pile.
25:57 I'm just going to nip out for a minute.
25:59 Hey, you might as well have a brew while you sort your laundry.
26:10 Go on, then.
26:12 Lauren, is this my fault?
26:21 Eh?
26:25 Were you feeling rejected by me, or...?
26:28 Yeah, don't build your part, love.
26:31 Yeah. Yeah, I didn't mean...
26:34 I'm sorry.
26:37 A bloke does something nice for me and I offer to repay the favour.
26:41 Well, you could have...
26:47 You know, you could have, like, keep him the flat.
26:50 Or washed up.
26:52 I've done it before, you know.
26:55 It's a transaction.
27:02 It's no bigger.
27:05 DOOR SLAMS
27:07 I'm relieved to have found you.
27:09 Kath or Cassie or whatever her name is,
27:12 she was out here a couple of months ago with me nan saying,
27:14 "Oh, I'm James's mate."
27:16 And now she's saying I'm your mam. I mean, what the hell?
27:18 Well, the fact that Evelyn hasn't denied it...
27:20 She? She told me that Cassie was dead. How cruel's that?
27:24 Well, one thing is perfectly obvious.
27:27 Evelyn's very worried about you.
27:29 Worried? She's worried because she's been found out.
27:31 I think that's harsh.
27:33 Really? Because if Cassie hadn't have blurted it out,
27:35 nan could have kept me in the dark forever.
27:37 Which is why you all need to sit down calmly and flesh things out.
27:41 No. A lie like that can't ever be justified.
27:45 Well, all I can offer is my experience with my own mother.
27:51 A relationship I thought was irreparable turned out to be...
27:55 ..well, better than expected.
27:57 What, did you think she was dead?
27:59 No, but she might as well have been.
28:01 And she's emotionally absent.
28:03 But we grew closer before she died, which...
28:07 ..which I found comforting.
28:09 Yeah, well, Cassie's not bothered with me for four years.
28:13 There's nothing there.
28:15 That transaction thing, it was just how things was.
28:21 Our favours got repaid.
28:24 Yeah, well, it's messed up.
28:29 I didn't know anything different.
28:31 Try and look a bit more disgusted.
28:39 I'm not disgusted. I just...
28:41 I just feel bad for you, that's all.
28:45 But not like how you feel for Sabrina.
28:51 I'm fine.
28:58 I'll live.
29:00 But where?
29:02 I'll sort something out.
29:06 I always do.
29:08 You know, we're still mates.
29:12 Same as always.
29:15 Yeah, well...
29:18 ..that's easier for you than me.
29:21 I'm sorry.
29:27 SHE SNIFFLES
29:30 Lucky Sabrina.
29:32 With her stupid smile and phony laugh.
29:38 It's OK.
29:41 Well, it's not my fault you've got rubbish taste in girls, is it?
29:46 SHE SIGHS
29:55 I'll never forget what you've done for me, you know.
29:58 Seriously, Lauren, where are you gonna go?
30:01 Well...
30:05 ..I booked a room at the Hilton and my car's probably outside, so...
30:09 Lauren...
30:12 ..don't do serious.
30:15 Tell Sabrina I don't send my love.
30:19 DOOR OPENS
30:21 DOOR CLOSES
30:24 I strained every sinew, but I couldn't persuade her to extend the contract.
30:30 Well, you did your best.
30:32 I think at the end of the day, well, Lou couldn't see past, you know, what happened with Peter.
30:38 Oh, let's not go there.
30:40 Oh, well, laying it at his door, a better negotiator would have been able to pull it out of the fire.
30:44 I guess I fell short.
30:46 It was a long shot.
30:48 No, he was very, very gracious.
30:50 Yeah, well, at least you didn't cancel the existing contract, did you, so...
30:54 And we've got the US distributor sorted.
30:57 That's a big bonus.
30:59 I suppose now Lou's drawn a line, we can get that order completed and then make a fresh start, can't we?
31:07 Absolutely. Absolutely.
31:15 Sit down.
31:16 Look, can I just say...
31:17 Hey, wait your turn.
31:19 I am so sorry that you found out like that.
31:26 You're sorry I found out like that? That's what you're sorry for?
31:30 How long have you known she was out there?
31:32 She's always known. Did she ever show you a death certificate? No.
31:35 Cos I never died.
31:36 Well, you might as well have died.
31:37 How long?
31:38 Er...
31:40 Ten months, three weeks, one day.
31:44 What, since September?
31:46 Well, I had a friend who was a social worker.
31:49 She bumped into her in Warrington on her uppers.
31:53 She was claiming to be addicted to prescription medication.
31:57 Was it for anxiety, was it, love?
31:59 But, you know, she needed somebody to help her get clean.
32:01 Well, why didn't you tell me?
32:03 Well, I thought about it. Cos I thought about it.
32:05 But, cos I didn't know what to do for the best.
32:08 See, she's admitted to lying.
32:11 Once a drug addict, all as a drug addict,
32:14 and I thought it was just best help around the cribs. Best for who?
32:17 Well, for you. Oh, for me?
32:19 Look, I found her a place to live, didn't I?
32:21 I helped her as much as I could.
32:23 But by Christmas, cos we were ready to kill each other.
32:26 Wait.
32:27 So when you came back for the wedding?
32:29 Well, well, well, wedding?
32:31 You never told me you got spliced.
32:33 I thought you had bigger things to focus on, like getting clean.
32:36 You stood there and watched me get married and said nothing.
32:40 Well, rightly or wrongly, I wanted your big day to go smoothly.
32:43 Didn't I? For you and Fiz.
32:45 Are you OK, son?
32:47 You've not earned the right to call me that.
32:49 Did you ever, for a fact, know that she was dead?
32:55 Course you never.
32:57 The truth, Nan. You owe me the truth.
33:00 MUSIC PLAYS
33:03 He told me she was dead.
33:16 Well, I've had decades of deafening silence from a known drug addict.
33:22 Decades!
33:23 He told me she was dead and that that was a fact.
33:26 More like a fantasy, eh, Mum?
33:28 I've had to make some very difficult decisions in my life, you know.
33:31 I've had to make decisions that have just about broken me.
33:35 I had to leave you on the steps of a police station, newborn.
33:39 Cassie had to come home with me to get clean.
33:41 And I did.
33:42 Yeah, you did, for about ten minutes.
33:44 Yeah, is it any wonder?
33:46 You'd taken my baby away from me.
33:48 I was in bits.
33:50 Yeah, if you couldn't stay off the muck while you were carrying him,
33:54 how were you going to look after him?
33:56 I don't know how I'd have managed.
33:58 I loved you the minute I clapped eyes on you.
34:01 Yeah, she just loved the brown stuff a bit more.
34:03 Look, I'm really sorry and I'm so ashamed.
34:06 I was using while I was pregnant.
34:08 But raising you would have been the wake-up call I needed.
34:12 The focus, the routine, but she was having none of it.
34:15 You're a fantasist, you know that?
34:17 When I had to let you...
34:19 You should have given Cassie a chance.
34:21 Thank you.
34:22 Yeah.
34:24 Yeah, I should have.
34:26 And you would have been dead.
34:28 She could not function.
34:30 She couldn't brush her teeth, let alone change her nappy.
34:33 Why buy formula, eh?
34:36 When you can buy yourself a high.
34:38 Yeah, well, we'll never know, will we?
34:42 It was brilliant.
34:48 Thank you.
34:49 I was tearing up.
34:50 It was a mo.
34:51 Yeah.
34:53 You like it?
34:55 Loved it.
34:56 Loved it.
34:57 Stop it.
34:58 The kids are on a total high.
35:00 Me and all.
35:02 You all right, Peter?
35:04 Look, I just want to reiterate my apology.
35:07 I wasn't trying to stir the pot.
35:08 I just thought honesty was the best policy, that's all.
35:11 You're an oily beggar.
35:13 Peter.
35:14 Do you ever want to say we draw a line?
35:16 For the sake of the business?
35:20 Or just that life's too short?
35:22 That's what my act is doing.
35:24 This is all for your benefit, you know that?
35:26 Oh, gr...
35:28 Right.
35:32 I'm going home.
35:34 Sorry.
35:38 I will.
35:40 Water off a duck's back.
35:41 That's just you I feel for.
35:43 Oh, hiya.
35:47 Hiya.
35:48 Come in.
35:49 Thanks.
35:51 I'll go and check Hope and Ruby are OK.
35:53 Good idea.
35:54 I'm childminding, get me?
35:56 You'll ace it.
35:58 Would you like a drink?
36:00 I'm sorry for lugging it.
36:03 No apologies necessary.
36:06 Your timing is excellent.
36:09 I'm just about to do the rota.
36:12 Oh, that's dead nice.
36:14 Not at all.
36:16 With time and practice,
36:18 you'll be an asset to the team.
36:20 The thing is, I haven't changed my mind about leaving Weatherfield.
36:24 Everybody knows about my past and...
36:27 I've just made myself like a complete idiot with Max.
36:30 And then coming on to you, I mean...
36:32 Forgotten.
36:34 Never to be mentioned again.
36:36 Thanks.
36:38 And, er...
36:40 in the hope that you do change your mind,
36:44 I'll hold off the idea.
36:47 I'll hold off the rota till tomorrow.
36:50 But, er, whether you stay or go,
36:54 I'm only ever a phone call away.
36:57 I'll never forget you, Roy.
37:03 You're an absolute ledge.
37:05 I... Off the scale.
37:08 And I... I hope you'll reconsider your plans.
37:14 BELL RINGS
37:16 We're going round in circles.
37:28 Tyrone knows how to make a go at it.
37:30 I didn't say that.
37:31 I said you should have been given a chance.
37:33 Well, same difference.
37:35 You could have got in touch years ago.
37:37 Ah, finally, pennies dropping.
37:39 You've never had any faith in me.
37:41 You were a junkie.
37:43 Not always.
37:45 I was clean for years when I was in South Africa.
37:47 But you didn't think to get in touch, did you?
37:49 Do you know, Mum, hurt people hurt people.
37:52 Right, that would be obviously then my fault.
37:55 You see, that is drug speak.
37:57 Everyone's wrong except her.
37:58 Not one hug. Do you know what? I don't remember one single hug.
38:01 I still can't get my head round that you lied to me over this, Nan.
38:04 I have never lied. I genuinely thought she was dead.
38:07 Yeah, and then you carried on the lie
38:09 when you knew for a fact that she was alive.
38:11 This is James's mate.
38:12 She's a great liar, aren't you, Mum?
38:14 Hey, Oscar winning.
38:16 And when did you get back to England?
38:18 Let's just focus on the here and now.
38:22 Year zero.
38:23 Stuff year zero.
38:24 What year did you get back in the country?
38:27 I'm here now, aren't I?
38:30 Of that there is no doubt.
38:33 I've got to get the girls.
38:38 DOOR SLAMS
38:39 Can I call you Edison Lighthouse?
38:44 You what?
38:45 My love grows where my rosemary goes.
38:48 Shame. One of my dad's faves.
38:51 Yeah, go ahead. Whatever makes you happy.
38:53 We've only gone and cracked a smile, Edison Lighthouse.
38:57 But not for long.
38:59 Hey, how?
39:00 Look, I don't want us to fall out.
39:04 Maybe you're right. I am a bit of a cautious Carol.
39:07 When did I say that?
39:09 May 1999.
39:12 I can cope with cautious Clyde, though.
39:18 I mean, I'm quite happy about my sexuality.
39:21 But maybe you're right.
39:26 I have got zero ambition,
39:27 but that's because I've made so many mistakes in my life.
39:30 I was out of line.
39:31 I could do with reining it in a bit.
39:33 Well, maybe between us we can find a sweet spot.
39:38 I'm into that.
39:40 How about an early tea tomorrow on me?
39:42 Yeah, had me at starters, mate, and some pudding.
39:45 Cheers.
39:51 I've, er, taxied the girls to tell them I'm here.
39:54 And, er, did you get a chance to speak?
39:58 Yeah, yeah, I did.
40:00 Did Evelyn explain why she hadn't told you sooner?
40:04 Best part of a year, she's known Cassie's been alive.
40:07 She sat opposite me three meals a day, not said a thing.
40:11 Even when she disappeared to go and get Cassie clean or whatever.
40:14 It's a lot for you to process.
40:17 Good news, they didn't die my watch.
40:20 Who was that woman at the show?
40:23 A girl, sweet.
40:24 Would you like some millionaire shortbread to take home?
40:28 Cool, cheers, Uncle Roy.
40:30 - Dad? - Hope?
40:32 Do you know why it's called millionaire?
40:34 Look, Roy, I'm sick of all the secrets.
40:37 That woman, right, she's called Cassie.
40:39 And even though I'm still trying to get my head round it, she's my mum.
40:43 - Your mum's dead, same as mine. - I thought so too. Turns out she isn't.
40:46 Your mum's still alive?
40:48 - Your dad's just had a bit of a shock. - So have we.
40:51 - Does she know about us? - Has she got any other kids?
40:53 I don't know, I haven't asked her yet.
40:55 But just say thank you to Nina and Uncle Roy.
40:58 Thank you to Nina and Uncle Roy.
41:00 What have I told you about that?
41:01 Are we gonna meet Cassie later?
41:03 What? No. No, when we're home, it's straight upstairs to bedrack.
41:07 It's five hours to Norfolk. Come on, you're gonna need some sleep.
41:09 You could have brothers and sisters.
41:11 Blimey, old Tyrone, eh?
41:18 Indeed.
41:20 I would ask the ins and outs, but if you'd rather not...

41:57 This is Roy Cropper. I'm afraid I am unable to come to the phone.
42:14 Please leave a short, clear message after the tone. Thank you.
42:20 Hiya. It's Lauren.
42:23 I was wondering if that job offer still stands.
42:27 It'd be great if you could put me on the rotor.
42:30 Thanks a gazillion.
42:32 Seven hours of joy and happiness.
42:46 Wonderful doesn't even begin to describe it.
42:51 The girls are in bed. Oh, good.
42:54 I wanted to tell the girls how good they were.
42:57 Pipes on Ruby.
42:59 Yeah, it's a shame you couldn't just meet them, bond with them
43:02 and then do your disappearing act.
43:04 I'd give anything to put things right, son.
43:07 Just go, will you?
43:09 Yeah, I think that really is the best thing.
43:13 OK, I get it.
43:18 You need some time and space, yeah?
43:21 I'm OK with that.
43:23 (Door closes)
43:28 You have really had quite a day.
43:30 Yeah, I meant you in honour.
43:32 I beg your pardon? I meant both of you. It's not up for discussion.
43:36 I mean, I know that you've had a shock and...
43:40 You fed me a pack of lies!
43:42 I'm better off with just fizzing the girls.
43:45 Just go!
