00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 I'm not saying I couldn't do without another half hour
00:25 in bed, but--
00:26 Well, if you're feeling tired--
00:27 Oh, I'm fine, Roy.
00:28 Look, I'm even eating breakfast.
00:31 That's encouraging.
00:32 I agree.
00:32 Look, before you say anything else, I'm just busy.
00:34 That's all.
00:34 But flat out, we've got to find another European distributor
00:37 for the nipper snapper range.
00:38 I'll survive on caffeine and stress like I do.
00:40 Everything in moderation.
00:42 Oh, where's the fun in that?
00:44 Thank you for caring, though.
00:46 Morning.
00:46 The guy that drives your van told me you were new.
00:48 Oh, right.
00:49 Did Sarah manage to get a hold of you, then?
00:50 No, but actually, I do need to talk to you and Stephen.
00:53 Oh, everything all right?
00:55 We need to have a conversation about the nipper snapper
00:57 contract.
00:58 The contract, why?
00:59 Oh, sorry.
01:00 I need to take this.
01:01 I'll meet you over there, OK?
01:02 Bye.
01:03 Look, about last night--
01:16 I really don't want to talk about it.
01:19 Because what you heard--
01:21 It's fine.
01:21 It's definitely not what I want.
01:26 I said it's fine.
01:27 Coffee?
01:32 Yeah, tar.
01:33 Actually, Todd came to tell me something.
01:51 And there's me thinking he was playing agony, and--
01:55 Sorry.
01:55 The stairlift's ready to be picked up.
02:04 That's if you still want it.
02:08 I kind of hate myself for even suggesting it,
02:09 because I don't want you to think
02:12 that I'm pushing you into losing your independence.
02:14 I am not.
02:17 I just don't want you to struggle or to worry.
02:24 I think that ship's sailed.
02:27 It's fine.
02:28 And thank Todd, yeah?
02:31 Actually, maybe we could get off for the day.
02:36 Ed can fit it while we're out.
02:37 It's going in today?
02:42 The family want Ryd, so--
02:44 Right, yeah.
02:46 That's that, then.
02:49 So what do you reckon?
02:51 Go somewhere nice?
02:52 I can't.
02:54 I said to meet Shelley.
02:56 Sorry.
02:57 Bad news.
03:06 You're kidding, aren't you?
03:07 It's catastrophic.
03:08 I don't understand.
03:09 Why wouldn't you want to renew the contract?
03:11 Nippersnapper must be such a profitable line for you guys.
03:14 Yeah, well, if I'm honest, you've sort of become
03:16 a victim of your own success.
03:17 Oh, really?
03:18 You turning Zilver is our fault, is it?
03:20 Right.
03:21 Stephen's right.
03:22 The range is selling well.
03:23 People love it, which is why Owen suggested that, you know,
03:27 we develop our own line.
03:28 Cut out the middleman, so to speak.
03:30 Of course he did.
03:31 Look, you're business people.
03:33 You know, it makes sense.
03:34 Anyway, I just wanted you to hear it from me in person.
03:38 And good luck.
03:39 Flipping nightmare.
03:45 Those patents are safe, aren't they?
03:46 Yeah.
03:49 What did Angelique want?
03:50 Yeah, I told her the new designs won't
03:52 be ready for a few weeks.
03:54 Maybe put a hold on those for the time being.
03:56 Why? What's happened?
03:57 They've pulled out.
03:59 Won't be renewing the contract.
04:01 We've put so much into this brand.
04:03 This can't be the end.
04:04 Just smile and try to be civil.
04:10 Yeah, well, according to Bridget,
04:12 Don's the one who knows how to turn on the charm.
04:14 He's not the only one who can be charming.
04:17 Um, right, what do you think?
04:19 Tie or no tie?
04:21 No tie.
04:22 You don't want to look as though you're trying too hard.
04:23 It's mediation.
04:24 Just be yourself and you'll be fine.
04:28 Tea?
04:29 Oh, thank you.
04:31 Listen, you couldn't do us a favor, could you?
04:34 I don't want Eliza to find out that her dad's around today.
04:37 Of course.
04:38 I'll take her to the restaurant with me,
04:40 see if she'd like to earn some extra pocket money.
04:42 Yes, doll.
04:43 Aw.
04:43 Ooh.
04:44 [PHONE RINGING]
04:47 Let's see then.
04:48 [PHONE RINGING]
04:50 Hi.
04:51 Z.
04:52 [LAUGHS]
04:53 Hi.
05:00 Hi.
05:01 Just goes to show I should never work from home ever.
05:05 Um, glad you're here as it goes.
05:08 Listen, I'm not going to be able to help out anymore
05:11 with paying Lou off.
05:12 Not just yet, anyway.
05:13 OK.
05:15 Because those promo deals that I sorted,
05:18 the clients are just getting way too demanding.
05:20 So I've just had to--
05:21 Seriously, Ryan, I don't want you worrying about this stuff.
05:23 It's fine.
05:23 But I feel useless.
05:25 Oh, don't be so daft.
05:26 Probably not the best thing to say, is it?
05:29 Let's just say counseling isn't your calling.
05:31 No, I know.
05:32 Listen, Ryan, you could help me try and find this file.
05:34 You know it's a big black thing.
05:35 Sure.
05:36 Yeah.
05:38 We're about to lose a major bit of business.
05:40 And that means we've got to find new clients, which
05:42 is always tricky, which in itself
05:43 is a massive understatement.
05:44 Um, is this it?
05:46 Oh, yes.
05:47 Oh, you're a lifesaver.
05:49 To thank you, I will buy you lunch.
05:51 You don't have to do that.
05:52 I know.
05:53 I'm all right here, honestly.
05:54 I know, that too.
05:55 I just thought, well, it might be nice to get out of the house.
05:57 And also, did I mention I was buying?
05:59 Because I jump on that while I'm still solvent.
06:02 I'm only joking.
06:03 Is Rovers OK?
06:04 Yeah, great.
06:05 Thanks.
06:06 OK, well, I will text you what time and everything.
06:08 Well, I'll see what's going on.
06:10 Wish me luck.
06:11 Good luck.

06:16 [PHONE CHIMES]
06:17 [SIGHS]
06:23 [KEYBOARD CLICKING]
06:28 [DOG WHIMPERS]
06:29 [CASH REGISTER RINGS]
06:36 Hang about, bruv.
06:38 All right.
06:38 What are you off to?
06:39 Ah, going to pick up something for young Paul.
06:42 Stairlift as it happens.
06:43 Poor lad.
06:45 Yeah, it's tough.
06:46 Yeah.
06:46 So what do you want to see me about?
06:47 Oh, I've heard about this plot of council land.
06:51 Seems they want to develop the place
06:52 into a residential district.
06:54 Now, it went at an auction to these two
06:57 fellas who want to break into property development.
07:00 Only it seems like they've bitten off more than they can chew.
07:03 We know that feeling, right?
07:05 Yeah, but we're further along the learning curve now.
07:07 Get this.
07:09 They're selling up with all the planning
07:11 permissions still in place.
07:14 For what?
07:15 Six houses.
07:16 Six?
07:18 You said we had to think big.
07:19 Yeah, but that's going to take a lot of investment.
07:21 Correct.
07:22 Everything we got, I reckon.
07:23 Sounds a bit out of our league.
07:25 I don't believe I'm hearing this.
07:26 You're the one that's always saying we got to think big.
07:29 Ron, listen.
07:30 If we get this right, it will put us in a different league.
07:35 All right.
07:36 [SIGHS] Email it over to me, and I'll--
07:39 I'll-- I'll take a look.
07:41 That's my boy.
07:42 Hey, no promises, right?
07:45 You'll be biting my hand off.
07:46 OK, well, listen.
07:59 I'll get some figures together and get back to you.
08:01 OK.
08:02 Thanks.
08:03 Thanks, Angela.
08:04 Bye.
08:05 What did Angelique say?
08:07 Don't tell me.
08:08 It was just all a ploy to get our prices down further.
08:11 Not really.
08:12 Oh, she's realized that Nippersnap is the best
08:14 brand she'll ever stock.
08:15 Well, I-- I think they do realize that now,
08:17 which is why they liked my idea.
08:19 What idea?
08:19 We've not discussed any ideas.
08:21 Yeah, I know, but I didn't want to get anybody's hopes
08:23 up before sounding her out.
08:24 Well?
08:25 Well, I persuaded them that it would
08:27 take months and months and a lot of cash
08:29 to develop their own line, to put marketing in place
08:31 and get it into shops, whereas, well, we've already
08:34 done all the hard work, so they could just buy Nippersnapper.
08:40 You're not serious?
08:41 But it's our brand.
08:42 We've worked so hard.
08:44 Just hear me out.
08:45 It's-- it's a brilliant brand, really brilliant.
08:48 And you guys have done an amazing job developing it,
08:50 but it can only be a success if we can find a company
08:54 to stock it and to get it into the big world markets.
08:57 Bet she nearly bit your hand off.
08:58 She's a smart businesswoman and wanted
09:00 to see what figure it would take to-- to close a deal.
09:03 If we can't find a like-for-like deal
09:05 to replace Owen and Angelique's, then all the work
09:08 will have been for nothing.
09:09 I hate to say it, but what Stephen says makes sense.
09:13 What do you think, guys?
09:14 Should we try and come up with a figure or what?
09:18 I just wish everyone would stop trying to tell me what I need,
09:22 pushing me to do stuff before I'm ready, you know?
09:25 Thing is, mate, you're never really ready.
09:28 And I get it, because it feels like giving up.
09:32 But truth is, you not wanting it to happen
09:35 don't mean it's not going to.
09:37 They know that, even if you don't.
09:41 I just need to be able to think about something
09:43 else other than MND.
09:46 Not feel so suffocated by it, you know?
09:50 Of course you do.
09:53 So do they.
09:54 Sorry, I know I'm going to sound like a right sad,
09:57 old, broken record.
09:58 It's just it all feels so hopeless.
10:03 You want my advice?
10:05 Get yourself a new playlist, something a bit Fleming Lively.
10:08 No, more like you're looking at it.
10:10 You're not wrong with Metallica.
10:14 Would you just sell it off after everything you put into it?
10:17 I agree.
10:17 Of course I do.
10:18 But the way things stand when the contract ends
10:21 with Angelique and Owen, that is it.
10:23 There's no more orders coming in,
10:25 and there's no one banging down our door
10:26 to step into their shoes.
10:28 Yeah, well, it still sucks.
10:29 Agreed.
10:33 Sorry, I couldn't help.
10:38 What does your uncle think?
10:39 Thinks we should sell.
10:42 Oh, thank Nick for me, won't you, love?
10:44 No problem.
10:45 Well, good luck.
10:47 I trust Stephen's judgments, though.
10:49 He's about to trust some of these, isn't he?
10:51 You all right?
10:52 You got something to say?
10:53 Yeah, it's a joke.
10:54 He's got your rat around his little finger, he has.
10:57 So not only is he untrustworthy, he's a liar too, is he?
10:59 Are you kidding me?
11:01 Man's got it down to a fine art.
11:03 You do know that he told me mum that he was coercively
11:05 controlled by his ex, and that's how he reeled her in?
11:09 No?
11:10 Or that he hired this so-called Tomender as a consultant
11:13 for the factory?
11:14 Siegel or something, I think that's what he was called.
11:16 There's a lot about your uncle that you don't know,
11:17 and none of it's good.
11:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:21 OK, see you there in 10 minutes.
11:37 All right, bye-bye.
11:38 Bye.
11:40 Oh, hi.
11:41 Hi, love.
11:42 How you doing?
11:45 You left this at the caf, you numpty.
11:47 Oh.
11:48 About this deal, without wishing to stick me oar in.
11:52 Come on, please, roll away.
11:53 Well, maybe Stephen's proposal, the solar part of the factory,
11:56 is not such a bad idea.
11:57 I mean, it'd take a lot of pressure off you, wouldn't it?
12:00 Mm.
12:01 I'm sure you haven't forgotten we need
12:02 to pay Lou for the watch.
12:04 And yes, I would make a lot of money.
12:06 It's just, it doesn't seem fair making a decision based on
12:09 what's just right for me, does it?
12:10 Well, no, I-- but think if it makes good business sense.
12:14 Yeah, but I'm sorry.
12:14 If you're the one benefiting from somebody else's
12:16 hard graft, it kind of sticks in the craw.
12:19 Flipping it.
12:20 Must be going soft in me old age, ain't it?
12:22 So that's the only thing that's stopping you selling?
12:25 Well, that.
12:26 Feeling a bit of a failure on the back
12:28 of losing all the contracts.
12:30 So hot on the heels of losing Lou's.
12:33 Well, why don't you, I don't know,
12:34 compensate Stephen and the others for all the hard work
12:37 they've put in making the brand so bankable.
12:42 It's definitely an idea.
12:43 I don't need anyone to look after me.
12:52 Oh, come on.
12:54 Don't offend Yasmeen.
12:56 She just thought that you might fancy an extra bit of pocket
12:58 money at the restaurant.
12:59 Yeah, but I prefer to stay here and play on my tablet.
13:02 Which you haven't got, remember?
13:05 This is so unfair.
13:07 I only want to message some friends on it.
13:08 That's all.
13:11 Fine.
13:13 Where are you going?
13:14 To see Sam, in case he thinks I'm dead.
13:17 Yeah, well, don't be late.
13:19 I mean it, Eliza.
13:20 Oh, I'll tell you what.
13:26 Ever since her dad's been on the scene,
13:28 she's developed a definite attitude.
13:30 I thought I heard raised voices.
13:32 Sorry.
13:33 So what's your news?
13:36 Don't tell me you're going to become a great grandmother.
13:38 Not as far as I know, no.
13:40 Actually, Zidan wants to take me to Pakistan
13:44 for my 70th birthday.
13:46 Oh, wow.
13:47 Oh, that's amazing.
13:48 It is, isn't it?
13:50 It's so kind.
13:50 He's got everything planned, all the places
13:52 we're going to visit.
13:54 Obviously, now is not the right time, so--
13:58 Why not?
13:59 Come on.
14:00 I can look after Speed, doll.
14:02 Stu, I was thinking of problems closer to home.
14:04 Oh, you mean Dom.
14:07 Yeah, I know how stressful the situation is.
14:12 Yasmeen, it is my problem.
14:14 It's-- it's our problem.
14:18 No, seriously, I want you to go.
14:22 It's a trip of a lifetime.
14:24 Another time.
14:25 It's a very special birthday present from Zidan.
14:30 And anyway, look, we're about to go into mediation.
14:33 I mean, hopefully, Dom will realize it's best for Eliza
14:36 if he just backs off.
14:38 And if I need any surge advice, you're only
14:40 on the end of the telephone.
14:42 Please, Yasmeen, go.
14:46 I can't.
14:48 I've already told Zidan I am needed here.
14:51 And your hot pox will be about five minutes.
14:59 OK, girls.
15:01 How about you, Ryan?
15:02 Anything to eat? - No, I'm all right.
15:03 I'll wait for Carla.
15:04 OK.
15:06 I've refilled the oven.
15:07 Oh, thanks, love.
15:09 I didn't know you were working today.
15:11 Yeah, unfortunately.
15:13 Guess you prefer to be at home sorting stuff out.
15:15 How is the new place?
15:17 It's good, thanks.
15:19 Listen, Ryan, I bumped into Beth earlier,
15:21 and she said you were getting a load of grief online yesterday.
15:25 No, you don't need to be dealing with abuse.
15:27 There's always going to be idiots.
15:30 I was going to say I've got thick skin, but I guess
15:33 I don't really, do I?
15:34 [CHUCKLES]
15:36 Carla said to tell you she's on her way.
15:38 Right, thanks.
15:39 Can I get you out?
15:40 Oh, boss is buying, so no.
15:43 OK.
15:44 What I really need to do is get my hands on some decent equipment.
15:47 Is that for your photography?
15:48 Yeah.
15:49 You know, Beth reckons you can--
15:50 I know.
15:51 I know.
15:52 Oh, look, you've got that ring-like thing you don't use
15:55 anymore, haven't you?
15:58 Ah, you're right.
15:59 Well, you wouldn't mind, would you, Dave?
16:03 I just wish you'd let me get on with it, do things my own way.
16:06 What?
16:10 Honestly, can you actually hear yourself?
16:12 Oh, well, so now I'm not allowed to have an opinion either.
16:15 Oh, for God's sake.
16:17 Stop feeling so sorry for yourself.
16:20 You've got a partner who clearly loves you to bits.
16:22 You've got your mum, your sister, your friends.
16:26 From where I'm sitting, you're looking pretty damn blessed.
16:29 Believe me, it's like I'd rather have
16:31 a bunch of lying strangers to do stuff for you.
16:33 I'm sorry.
16:38 I know what you mean well.
16:39 And you're right, Nal.
16:41 A wheelchair would make your life so much easier.
16:43 As will a stair lift.
16:46 None of us want this stuff in our life,
16:48 reminding us we're shuffling to the front of the queue.
16:51 But they get it because they love you.
16:55 For that, you should be grateful.
17:00 And you say it's already got planning permission?
17:02 Six houses, Ed reckons.
17:05 Well, that sounds like a good proposition.
17:07 We won't be the only people to think so.
17:10 Oh, man, I tell you, if our money wasn't tied up in them
17:14 shares, I'd go for it.
17:15 Look, you did the right thing making that investment.
17:18 Once that merger's announced, those shares are going
17:20 to shoot right up in value.
17:21 Then we'd have lost our chance to get our hands on the land.
17:24 Oh, man, six houses.
17:28 I could tell a huge profit.
17:29 What is it?
17:34 I've arranged a meeting with the bank.
17:36 I reckon we can use a loan, along with our existing capital,
17:41 to finance the purchase.
17:43 Ed, yeah?
17:45 Yeah.
17:46 So what are you going to tell him?
17:48 Nothing right now.
17:50 I've just got to cross my fingers
17:51 and hope he doesn't find out.
17:55 Wait, you're probably misheard.
17:58 Waiting room can get very noisy.
18:00 I'm telling you, we were all sitting
18:02 there facing each other.
18:04 Yeah, but was it busy?
18:05 Because I was thinking of going to see Dr. Gaddas
18:08 about getting me ears arranged.
18:09 Could I just finish?
18:11 I thought you had.
18:13 So he was sitting there staring at me.
18:16 How old was he?
18:17 Oh, three, four.
18:19 And then he leaned into his mother,
18:21 and he said, that old lady's just pooped herself.
18:26 Me?
18:27 He actually said that?
18:28 Yes, of course.
18:30 But he had.
18:32 And he was just looking for somebody to blame.
18:33 I mean, they all heard.
18:35 They all looked.
18:36 Well.
18:38 So anyway, where's this letter?
18:39 Oh, yes.
18:40 There.
18:41 Does seem very genuine, doesn't it?
18:49 I mean, what do you think?
18:50 Yes, it does.
18:52 But why would they be sending you a statement?
18:56 That's what I thought.
18:57 It's got to be a scam, hasn't it?
18:59 Come on.
19:00 Mum.
19:01 Hello, Sarah, love.
19:03 Have either of you two heard anything
19:05 about Stephen being coercively controlled by Gabrielle?
19:09 Um.
19:10 Oh, I don't believe it.
19:11 You both knew?
19:13 I'm sorry, love.
19:15 Probably should have told you.
19:16 Yeah, I'm sorry too, sweetheart.
19:19 We were just thinking about poor Stephen.
19:21 [DOOR OPENS]
19:23 [DOOR CLOSES]
19:24 [SIGHS]
19:26 Do you know, I mean, I know he's Eliza's dad.
19:30 But as a guardian, then surely--
19:33 Hey, you said everything you needed to.
19:36 And look, if Eliza's mum is insistent that the child spends
19:38 no time with the father, then--
19:40 And when that lawyer fella asked if I thought he posed
19:42 a threat to the child, what could I say but no?
19:46 Because you don't know him.
19:47 And neither does Eliza.
19:49 Yeah, but she wants to.
19:50 I know that.
19:51 And from what I've seen of him, he seems pretty determined.
19:55 [KNOCKING]
19:56 [DOOR OPENS]
19:57 [DOOR CLOSES]
19:59 [DOOR CLOSES]
20:02 You should have text to say you were heading home.
20:04 I was fine.
20:07 How did you manage the stairs?
20:10 Well, Ed's down there measuring up.
20:13 To be honest, I didn't expect you home so soon.
20:17 Yeah, well, Shelley's feeling a bit better.
20:20 So I thought, who's the person I want to spend my day with?
20:26 Turns out it's you.
20:26 So what would you like to do then?
20:33 We could go out, have a bit of lunch,
20:37 once you've eaten already.
20:38 And, you know, I was thinking of something
20:40 a bit more adventurous.
20:43 Oh?
20:45 I want to do stuff while I can still walk,
20:48 even if it is with the cane.
20:50 OK.
20:52 What kind of stuff?
20:53 [DOOR CLOSES]
20:54 How do you mean?
20:55 Oh.
20:56 Just to let you know, I'm going to start work.
20:57 No problem.
20:58 We're off out now anyway.
20:59 OK.
21:00 And, um, thanks, Ed.
21:02 We appreciate it.
21:03 [BIRDS CHIRPING]
21:06 [FOOTSTEPS]
21:08 [SIGHS]
21:10 Right.
21:11 You ready?
21:12 Yeah.
21:13 [FOOTSTEPS]
21:16 [PHONE RINGING]
21:19 [PHONE VIBRATING]
21:22 [CLICK]
21:24 Oh, hello.
21:26 Oh, hey, Sarah.
21:27 What can I do for you?
21:28 Well, you can stop taking my uncle for a ride for a start.
21:32 I beg your pardon?
21:33 Oh, drop the act.
21:35 I know all about you and your so-called consultancy service.
21:38 Siegel, wasn't it?
21:40 I wanted in on that call, and now I
21:41 know why Stephen will let me.
21:44 Aren't you just a glorified secretary?
21:46 Listen, you leave him alone.
21:48 He does not need thieves and liars like you in his life.
21:51 You are so sweet.
21:53 And your loyalty to your uncle Stephen is admirable.
21:57 It really is.
21:58 It's just a shame he has never shown
22:00 the same kind of loyalty to you or anyone in your family,
22:04 for that matter.
22:05 If you've got something to say, just say it.
22:08 Goodbye, Sarah.
22:09 No, good--
22:10 [SIGHS]
22:12 [SIGHS]
22:14 [MUSIC PLAYING]
22:17 Now, with respect, I think I should
22:27 leave the nippersnappers sale.
22:29 I'm the most experienced person in the room,
22:31 and undoubtedly I'll get the best deal.
22:34 Kyle is experienced, too.
22:35 No, no, no.
22:36 He's the best person for the job.
22:38 Plus, it's in your best interest to get us all a good deal,
22:40 because FYI, gentlemen, I'm going
22:42 to be giving you two fellas and Sarah a cut
22:44 of the proceeds of the sale, so--
22:46 Mr. Ambassador, you are spoiling us.
22:48 I certainly am.
22:50 I mean, on paper, I owe you absolutely nada,
22:53 but since decency is my middle name.
22:54 Thanks for coming over, love.
23:00 And sorry again for keeping you in the dark,
23:03 the Gabrielle and--
23:04 It's all right.
23:05 Well, a bit of a shock, but--
23:07 Come on, Mum.
23:08 Oh, no, no, no, she's busy.
23:09 Come on.
23:10 I've come to see you two.
23:12 Come on, what is it?
23:13 Well, it's this letter.
23:15 Show her.
23:16 Yeah.
23:16 Sarah, look at this.
23:19 It's a letter.
23:21 Yeah, Mum, I think I got that bit.
23:22 Well, she was going to say that it's a scam.
23:25 And it is, isn't it?
23:26 It's a scam.
23:27 Well, let's see what it's all about, then.
23:29 She'll put your mind at rest.
23:30 It's a statement and an equity release.
23:34 Oh.
23:36 Yeah, it is.
23:37 It's a scam.
23:39 It looks surreal.
23:40 Well, they can do anything these days,
23:42 can't they, with computers and scanners and 3D, what's it?
23:47 I mean, do you know, you can make cakes from them.
23:50 I saw it on the news.
23:52 It's a scam.
23:53 Oh.
23:54 Well, I know for a fact I have never released any equity.
23:58 So it just doesn't make sense.
24:01 Though, well, Stephen did have an estate agent around last year.
24:07 Do you remember?
24:09 Oh, please say these two things have nothing to do with it.
24:12 Oh, please.
24:13 I mean, Stephen wouldn't do anything
24:16 without consulting you first.
24:18 Yeah, I know.
24:19 He's very loyal to the family.
24:20 Yes, family first, 100%.
24:23 Actually, can I just have another look?
24:24 Yeah.
24:25 Oh.
24:26 Isn't this lovely?
24:34 Yeah.
24:35 Sorry, am I going too--
24:37 No, I'm all right.
24:38 I'm all right.
24:39 It's nice to get out, isn't it?
24:46 Yeah.
24:47 Tell you what, can we just grab a seat, get a breather?
24:49 Yeah.
24:52 Take the weight off.
24:53 Yeah.
25:06 Turning into the mother.
25:09 We used to go out on a big walk.
25:12 When we were little, she was just so--
25:15 it's her seat.
25:17 Admire the view.
25:19 You're not turning into your mother.
25:21 No, I'll be wearing noisy blouses
25:23 and getting my roots done next.
25:25 I am.
25:26 Ah, well, we've got to make a pass at the neighbor, Keith,
25:31 at a yard sale.
25:33 She, um, she once read that this particular had been
25:39 to a yard sale by the American.
25:42 She decided she was going to have one herself,
25:44 and it was basically just selling off
25:46 a tat on the front drive.
25:48 I am fully aware that I'm just wittering on.
26:01 I think we need to have a talk about what
26:03 happened yesterday, properly.
26:07 What is it you want, Dom?
26:13 I want to talk Mr. Grown-up here out of going to court.
26:17 Do you know, this is as bad as tampering with the evidence.
26:20 Is he allowed to do this?
26:21 Well, it--
26:22 Think about it.
26:23 It's common sense, really.
26:24 What is?
26:25 Courts always side with the family.
26:26 Yeah, but which bits of the family?
26:29 Were both of flesh and blood?
26:30 Judges usually side with the parents.
26:32 Often, not always.
26:35 Do you know how costly this law will be for both of us?
26:38 Can we not just be like grown-ups about it all?
26:40 I'll think about it.
26:45 Thank you.
26:46 I've thought about it, and it's a no from me.
26:49 See you in court.
26:50 See you in court.
26:51 It's an olive branch.
27:03 In the shape of a ring, like.
27:04 Thank you so much.
27:06 And how are you?
27:07 Oh, I am trying not to tilt my head to the side
27:11 and sound all patronizing, but that's actually quite hard.
27:14 I'm all right.
27:15 Yeah?
27:16 Well, I mean, I've been better, well, than worse.
27:21 I had this checkup, and they suggested that I try
27:25 putting makeup on the scar.
27:27 Right.
27:28 Only I wouldn't know where to start.
27:31 Well, if you did want to give it a go any time,
27:32 I would be more than happy to lend a hand.
27:35 I will try not to make you look like Bimini Bambu Lash.
27:37 I'd kill to look like them.
27:38 Think of the followers.
27:39 Well.
27:40 No, no, seriously, thank you.
27:42 And I may well take you up on that.
27:44 OK, good.
27:46 Uh, do you want a brew?
27:49 Uh, something stronger?
27:50 Uh, no.
27:52 I should get back.
27:53 Really?
27:54 Yeah.
27:55 Angelique is such a glamorous name.
27:59 Well, she's one very sophisticated lady.
28:03 I wish I'd been called Angelique.
28:05 Angelique Bradley.
28:07 Actually, it kind of spoils it, doesn't it?
28:10 The Bradley bit.
28:11 You know, I don't often blow my own trumpet,
28:15 but--
28:16 Well, you've got no need, have you?
28:18 Your reputation blows it for you, and it hits a top C.
28:20 Well, that, uh, that sale is in the bag.
28:23 Jenny, what on earth is the matter?
28:32 Today is, um--
28:39 today is my last day as owner of the Rovers.
28:42 Oh, oh, no.
28:44 Tomorrow I meet with the brewery to sign the paperwork.
28:47 Oh, Jenny.
28:51 Jenny, Jenny.
28:52 Hey, would you like me to come with you?
28:58 Strength in numbers?
29:01 Oh, Stephen.
29:04 What would I do without you?
29:05 Uh, no.
29:11 Sorry about this.
29:13 Who could possibly be more important than me?
29:15 Sarah wants to see me immediately.
29:18 Well, you're a popular guy.
29:19 Oh, listen, apologies a thousand times.
29:23 No, it's fine.
29:25 You're giving.
29:26 I get it.
29:27 I do.
29:28 What you heard was true.
29:39 I thought if you'd have heard what I was going to go on to say,
29:44 then you would have understood.
29:45 I mean, if this--
29:50 if we were normal and you'd done what you did,
29:59 we'd have had a barney, and then I would have dumped you,
30:03 and then we'd have spent six months playing the field,
30:07 and--
30:10 and then one way or another, like two star-crossed lovers,
30:18 we would have found our way back to one of the--
30:20 as is our want.
30:21 Who says we're normal?
30:29 Normal's boring.
30:31 Normal's for wimps.
30:34 So I put my finger on the fast forward button.
30:38 I'm over it.
30:42 Thank you.
31:04 This is pretty decent, isn't it?
31:07 Yeah.
31:09 I feel like I'm in some posh merchant ivory film,
31:14 you know, looking out to sea on the Riviera,
31:16 just sipping a small sherry.
31:20 What her world be in?
31:21 The end to a perfect film.
31:26 The end to a perfect day.
31:32 Well, it is mid-afternoon.
31:34 And actually--
31:41 What?
31:43 I know what to make it even better.
31:46 What, eh?
31:48 I'll tell you what they do in these posh films.
31:51 What's that, then?
31:53 They, um-- they rip off the clothes and go skinny dipping.
31:58 No, you don't.
31:59 Seriously.
32:00 No.
32:01 No, it's freezing.
32:03 Well, it's on my bucket list.
32:05 [WHISTLES]
32:05 [LAUGHS]
32:07 Take it.
32:08 [LAUGHS]
32:12 You up for it?
32:14 No.
32:15 Like, what if someone sees?
32:17 Ah, it's not up for negotiation.
32:22 I am a man of the cloth.
32:23 Well, then get your kit off, reverend.
32:31 Right, I've lined them up for you boys.
32:32 Grab them quick.
32:33 She thinks I'm a dipsomaniac.
32:36 So how did it go with the bank manager?
32:39 Do they still exist?
32:40 Do what?
32:41 Well, isn't it a relationship manager these days?
32:44 I'm sorry.
32:45 I didn't realize you were part of our business meeting.
32:47 Why don't you, uh, pull up a chair and take minutes?
32:50 There's no law against taking an interest.
32:53 Yes, well, there's a very fine line between taking
32:55 an interest and being nosy.
32:56 [LAUGHS]
32:57 Right, come on.
32:58 Let's grab a chair.
32:59 Tell me all about it.
33:02 So we've been approved for a business loan
33:04 to purchase the land in principle.
33:07 All we need now is the remaining 20%,
33:10 which we'll take out of our business account,
33:12 and we can proceed.
33:14 And I told you you'd be biting my hand off.
33:17 I'm going to visit the little boys.
33:20 Well, do we need to stop the project?
33:22 What do you reckon?
33:28 I have 100% conviction that those shares are going to land.
33:33 Guess who I spoke to today.
33:35 Uh, Ethel read the unready?
33:38 The equity release firm.
33:40 What are you talking about?
33:41 I never--
33:42 Oh, Stephen, don't lie.
33:44 You think I was stooped that low with my own family?
33:48 I spoke to Gabrielle, too.
33:51 She claims you have no loyalty to your family whatsoever.
33:56 Going to say something? Defend yourself, even?
33:58 Stealing from my mother?
34:05 What I did is indefensible.
34:08 I was going to go straight to Gran, but I don't know.
34:10 I just-- I wanted you to be able to explain yourself first.
34:13 Well, good.
34:14 Because I can explain.
34:16 OK.
34:18 I'm waiting.
34:20 [MUSIC PLAYING]
34:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]
34:27 [MUSIC PLAYING]
34:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
34:34 So I know--
34:35 I know it was an awful mistake, but I was desperate.
34:39 I was always going to pay her back.
34:40 You-- you have to believe that.
34:42 Look, it's going to be tough, but it's time
34:44 that you come clean to Gran.
34:45 Please, Sarah, don't tell her.
34:48 It'll kill her.
34:49 Look what she did last year.
34:50 It'll-- it'll tip her over the edge.
34:52 If you tell her, she will dot me into the police
34:54 like she did with Nick and David.
34:55 So?
34:56 Well, I can hardly pay her back if I'm in prison, can I?
34:59 And I will pay it back, every penny.
35:02 But I-- I just--
35:03 all I need is time.
35:06 I need to get the Angelique deal over the line.
35:09 And-- and reparations can be made.
35:12 Sarah, please.
35:15 I am begging you.
35:19 All right.
35:21 Things you dot me into.
35:23 [LAUGHTER]
35:25 All right.
35:26 Hey.
35:27 [GRUNTING]
35:30 Yeah.
35:31 I got you.
35:32 [PANTING]
35:35 [GULPING]
35:42 [CHUCKLING]
35:45 [PANTING]
35:49 When we get home, shall we book our wedding?
35:51 [KISSING]
35:59 [GULPING]
36:07 [WATER SPLASHING]
36:11 [WATER SPLASHING]
36:14 [ANNOUNCER ON TV]
36:24 Hiya.
36:25 Oh, you're back.
36:26 Granddad, can I have my tablet back, please?
36:30 I'm so bored.
36:31 Can you just give me a minute to get an house?
36:34 I only want to play some games on it.
36:35 Are you deaf as well as daft?
36:36 You can't say that.
36:38 Well, I've already said no.
36:39 So why would I change my mind when
36:41 I'm press ganged as soon as I walk through the door?
36:43 [SIGHS]
36:48 And don't you start.
36:49 I take it mediation did not go very well.
36:51 Yeah, it got it in one night, Stan.
36:53 Listen.
36:54 You can be as rude to me as you like,
36:56 but do not take it out on her.
36:57 You push her away even more, if that's possible.
37:01 Yeah, yeah.
37:02 You're right.
37:05 Oh, I'll go and say I'm sorry.
37:08 Well, I think we should make him an offer.
37:10 I think we should put the brakes on for a second
37:12 while we run some security checks so I can get a surveyor
37:14 made to nosey on down and check the land for us,
37:16 you know, before we go wasting any cash.
37:18 Well, how long is that going to take?
37:19 Oh, not long at all, mate.
37:21 Well, I don't think we should drag our heels on this.
37:23 That land will get snapped up.
37:24 Oh, yeah.
37:28 [CLEARS THROAT]
37:33 Hi, guy.
37:37 It's me.
37:39 Stand by your inbox.
37:40 I'll be sending you a personalized
37:41 video very, very soon.
37:43 [CELL PHONE CHIMES]
37:45 Look, I'm-- I'm really sorry, Eliza.
38:12 I shouldn't have snapped at you like that.
38:15 I was having a pretty rotten day.
38:17 But I was bang out of order talking to you like that.
38:21 So do you accept Stu's apology, Eliza?
38:26 I do.
38:27 Then you must accept my apology, too,
38:30 for making such a tasteless doll.
38:32 It must be one of those days.
38:34 Can I go to my room?
38:36 Of course.
38:37 Of course.
38:38 And shall I make you a nice ham sandwich later?
38:41 Yes, please.
38:42 Lovely.
38:43 [CELL PHONE CHIMES]
38:48 Well, don't you want to speak to Zee?
38:54 I think it's such a shame you're missing
39:00 out on this amazing trip.
39:03 I, um-- I worry about how I'm going to feel when I go back.
39:08 Pakistan, all it represents, the estrangement with my father.
39:13 If I go back--
39:18 Didn't you say Mother's grave was out there?
39:21 Well, wouldn't you like at least to go and visit that?
39:25 You know what?
39:27 Maybe I will go.
39:28 See my mum.
39:29 I owe everything that I am to her.
39:38 Yeah, yeah, he's proper chuffed.
39:40 He's just used the stairlift for the first time.
39:41 He loved it.
39:44 Yeah.
39:45 Thank you so much.
39:47 All right.
39:48 Cheers, Ed.
39:49 See you soon.
39:51 Bye-bye.
39:51 It's a proper game changer, isn't it?
39:57 Yeah.
39:58 Yeah, it's all right.
40:00 Right.
40:01 Let's start looking for a registry office.
40:03 [CHUCKLES]
40:05 [SIGHS]
40:07 Just don't seem right, though, does it?
40:14 What's that?
40:15 The registry office means nothing to you.
40:18 You want to get married in the church.
40:21 When you dedicated your life to that church, it's not fair.
40:27 Life isn't fair.
40:29 That's why you've got to grab onto these moments of happiness
40:31 when they come your way.
40:32 [SIGHS]
40:34 Could always wait for the Church of England,
40:37 see if they change their mind.
40:39 Might be waiting quite some time.
40:41 Yeah.
40:42 A commodity I don't know that much of.
40:47 Marrying you is what's important,
40:49 and where it takes place.
40:52 Be doing it in front of my God, wherever I am.
40:55 You sure?
40:56 Yeah.
41:02 Could always get married in the bistro.
41:04 Why do you?
41:06 I don't know.
41:06 Just when we were bobbing around in the water,
41:08 my mind went to cocktail sausages.
41:10 [CHUCKLES]
41:11 And uber-sized hot dogs.
41:12 [CHUCKLES]
41:14 And I just thought, bistro.
41:15 [CHUCKLES]
41:17 [CHUCKLES]
41:18 At my dream dinner party, I would have Charles Asnavar
41:25 and Omar Sharif.
41:26 Oh, I say, all the dishemons.
41:28 Do me.
41:29 Oh.
41:29 [CHUCKLES]
41:30 Cheeky.
41:32 Who would you get for intellectual debate?
41:34 Janet Street Porter.
41:35 I like the cut of her jib.
41:37 And who would you invite for intellectual jousting?
41:41 Remember, they don't have to be alike.
41:43 So many to choose from.
41:45 Look, Stacey Dooley.
41:46 The Winkleman.
41:51 The Winkleman?
41:51 Oh, do you mean the Fonz?
41:54 Claudia.
41:54 Ah, the one with the fringe.
41:57 Yes.
41:58 Yes.
41:58 [CHUCKLES]
42:01 Came a load of sweet cheeks.
42:03 [CLEARS THROAT]
42:05 I'm only messing.
42:06 He's paid.
42:06 It was a joke.
42:07 Hilarious.
42:08 Well, consider me an angel before I come bearing tidings
42:12 of great, great joy.
42:14 Why?
42:14 Well, Angelique's agreed to buy Nippersnapper.
42:16 It's a good deal.
42:18 And after tax, I reckon we'd all walk away with about 70K.
42:24 70K?
42:25 Stephen, you're the greatest human being ever.
42:27 What?
42:27 I'm not worthy.
42:28 Sorry, I just need to have a quick chat with Grant.
42:31 Hey.
42:32 Grant.
42:34 Oh, sweetheart.
42:35 Sorry I haven't spoken with you.
42:37 We're still playing fantasy dinner parties over there.
42:41 And I want to powder my nose.
42:44 Are you all right?
42:47 Yeah, fine.
42:47 Oh, you know the letter?
42:50 Oh.
42:52 It was a scam.
42:53 I gave him a ring, and it was just a dodgy call centre
42:56 on the other side of the world.
42:57 So I don't want you worrying about it, OK?
42:59 Thank you.
43:00 No, I won't.
43:01 Good.
43:02 Is that all?
43:03 Yeah.
43:04 Can I have a word with you, please, Stephen, in private?
43:18 Oh, uh, sure.
43:19 What did you say to her?
43:28 I'll keep quiet.
43:29 Oh.
43:31 Thank God for that.
43:32 No, thanks, Eric, for that.
43:34 But you pay her back every penny you took.
43:36 I will.
43:37 I promise.
43:38 Thank you.
43:39 I'm not doing this to save your skin.
43:40 I am doing this for Grant.
43:42 It will kill her if she knew.
43:44 I know.
43:45 I feel so bad.
43:46 Oh, once more with feelings, Stephen.
43:48 Sorry?
43:49 Oh, you heard.
43:51 I mean it.
43:53 You've shown me your true colours now.
43:55 I will never believe another word you say, ever.
