00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 Right.
00:22 Come on, love.
00:23 We've got to get some breakfast down here.
00:25 And you know, we've got to get going soon.
00:27 Otherwise, we're going to miss visiting hours.
00:30 But he's not here yet.
00:32 He was supposed to be here an hour ago.
00:35 Has he answered your text yet?
00:37 No, but it says it's been read.
00:40 Oh, well, if he's read it and not replied, then--
00:42 Well, maybe his car's still being fixed.
00:45 Or maybe something else has held him up and he can't make it.
00:49 But he should have let you know.
00:52 Please, can't we just give him a little bit more time?
00:57 All right, 20 minutes.
00:59 But then if he's not here by then, we've got to go.
01:02 I mean, you want to see your mom, don't you?
01:05 Yeah, but I want to see my dad too.
01:07 Come on, come on.
01:10 Let's get a move on.
01:11 I don't want to miss this bus.
01:12 Why can't we have a look at it?
01:13 Because I told you, I've got a customer in at 9.
01:16 And I've had to park my car over on Tile Street.
01:19 What are you looking at?
01:20 Do you want me to take them in?
01:26 No, I think it's best to get the bus.
01:28 OK.
01:29 You don't trust her with this on her own.
01:31 Did I say that?
01:32 We're not stupid.
01:33 Right, your bus is here now.
01:34 Go on, jump on.
01:36 I'll get you a chip of tea later to make up for it.
01:38 I thought we were getting a lift.
01:39 Have a good day.
01:40 See you, girls.
01:42 Bye.
01:44 Sorry.
01:45 I understand.
01:46 Morning.
01:52 Tea and biscuit.
01:55 Mrs. Periwinkle.
01:56 What are we having then?
01:57 Cut, rinse, extra long head massage.
02:00 Here you do, Spur me, David.
02:02 Well, don't be telling anyone.
02:03 Can't have all my clients knowing your special treatments.
02:06 [LAUGHTER]
02:07 [CLINK]
02:08 What are you doing?
02:10 Sorry.
02:12 Well, it might help if you weren't texting all the time.
02:15 What are you--
02:17 Lauren?
02:19 Well, yeah.
02:20 I'm just, you know, checking in on her, aren't I?
02:22 Just shut your ears a sec, Mrs. P.
02:27 Just a bit of family business, that's all.
02:30 Does Sabrina know about this?
02:33 Well, no, but there's nothing going on.
02:36 I'm just worried about her.
02:38 Why?
02:39 She should be happy as Larry.
02:41 I mean, she got off with a caution.
02:43 Yeah, but she's got no one looking out for her.
02:46 She's got nowhere to stay.
02:47 She's got Roy, a new bezzie.
02:50 He sorted her out with a B&B, didn't he?
02:52 I don't know if she's got there, OK?
02:54 I don't know if--
02:55 Look, you need to stop worrying about her, all right?
02:57 I know you think you've got some sort of special bond
02:58 going on with her, Max.
02:59 But believe me, she's hard as nails.
03:02 She's only looking out for herself.
03:03 So you're just worrying about sweeping up, OK?
03:05 Phew.
03:11 What about that rain before, eh?
03:12 [LAUGHTER]
03:13 It was terrible.
03:16 Morning.
03:16 Morning.
03:17 How was the B&B?
03:19 Nice.
03:20 Glad to hear that.
03:21 I wish I could have secured you a longer stay.
03:24 Two nights is great and super kindier.
03:27 Yeah, well, super kind is my uncle's middle name.
03:29 Or is that two middle names?
03:31 Now, we need to decide what happens next.
03:33 I think contacting social services is the thing to do.
03:37 No way, no.
03:39 No.
03:41 Look, Roy, I--
03:42 I don't want to end up in care.
03:44 Well, I'm sure there'll be plenty of other options.
03:46 I'd rather sort something myself.
03:48 How?
03:50 I don't know.
03:51 But something will turn up.
03:54 I'm not worried.
03:55 So it's been accepted?
04:00 Yep.
04:01 Fresco solicitor called me an hour ago.
04:02 Units are ours, subject to paperwork, et cetera.
04:04 [LAUGHTER]
04:05 Oh, man, that is just--
04:07 maybe you've made my day, my-- my-- my-- my year.
04:09 Teamwork.
04:10 Well met, my friend.
04:11 You know, indeed.
04:11 And you know what?
04:12 We've got the golf club to thank for you, haven't we?
04:13 Yeah, and that tricky 11th hole.
04:14 Yeah, you know, when I accused you of hitting my ball.
04:16 Yeah, I called you that unmentionable word.
04:18 We should celebrate.
04:19 We're burning Courtney, too.
04:20 No, I'm sorry.
04:21 Tomorrow night? - Perfect.
04:22 And Courtney's got a spin class.
04:24 I'm sure she can miss it just this once.
04:25 You should invite Ardy.
04:26 He had a hand in this deal, too.
04:27 No, of course, of course.
04:28 It's just, um-- well, don't--
04:29 don't make her feel uncomfortable.
04:31 How do you mean?
04:32 I'm going to be the only kid on a table full of adults.
04:33 Do you think he'd feel like that?
04:35 We'll go and fix it.
04:37 Come in.
04:38 [LAUGHTER]
04:38 Such a good night.
04:40 Hi, Amy.
04:41 This is--
04:42 Amy, this is Ardy's friend.
04:44 Friend or friend?
04:46 Friend.
04:48 Actually, Amy, um, what are you doing tomorrow night?
04:51 Why?
04:52 It's just that, uh, you know, me and Darren
04:54 were out celebrating a successful business deal.
04:56 Courtney's going to be there.
04:57 Bernie's going to be there.
04:58 Ardy, you know, Macy's going to be there.
04:59 I just wanted to--
05:00 Yeah, I'm really sorry, but I am busy.
05:02 Yeah?
05:03 Busy doing what?
05:04 None of your business.
05:05 Hey, she clearly doesn't fancy it.
05:06 Or your son.
05:07 No, I really am busy.
05:09 And I've just remembered that I'm trying to go gluten free.
05:13 So--
05:14 [LAUGHTER]
05:19 Well played, son.
05:21 Quickly get Nick and I for the journey.
05:23 What are you going to have?
05:24 Nothing.
05:25 Oh, don't give me that.
05:26 You go bonkers for a custard slice.
05:28 I don't want anything.
05:29 Yeah, well, you had no breakfast.
05:31 Well, I was supposed to have breakfast with my dad.
05:33 But you made us leave.
05:34 You know what?
05:35 We waited two hours for him, and he didn't show.
05:38 He didn't reply to your text, and he
05:39 didn't reply to your call.
05:41 Well, what if he's turned up now and there's no one in?
05:45 That's his own stupid fault.
05:46 He's not stupid.
05:48 Look, you'll have to see your dad another time.
05:51 Are you coming in?
05:53 No, I want to wait in the car.
05:55 Eliza.
05:56 Can I have the keys, please?
05:57 [SIGHS]
05:58 [KEYS JINGLING]
05:59 [POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
06:02 [POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
06:08 [POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
06:12 [POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
06:18 [FOOTSTEPS]
06:20 [POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
06:24 Hey.
06:25 Morning.
06:26 Someone here who wants to see you.
06:27 Oh, new client?
06:29 Not exactly.
06:30 Oh, well, again.
06:33 This is the man who got Lauren off of her car, shouldn't I do?
06:36 Yeah, so I gather.
06:37 Taking her business, eh?
06:39 Sure this lady could have done the same.
06:40 I'm not so sure about that.
06:43 Actually, I have just seen her.
06:44 She wanted me to thank you again.
06:46 Well, it's a good job I'm here, isn't it?
06:48 [CHUCKLES]
06:51 So what was it you wanted to see me about?
06:53 You mentioned yesterday you'd worked in America.
06:56 I'm thinking of going over there for a while.
06:57 I wondered if you might have any advice.
06:59 Bear in mind, it's a totally different legal system.
07:01 It sure is.
07:03 Do you think you might be able to talk me through it?
07:05 Oh, yeah.
07:06 My first client's not for an hour, so--
07:08 I've actually got to get back to my office.
07:09 But are you free later?
07:11 We could chat over a drink?
07:13 My treat, obviously.
07:15 Well, it just so happens that I am.
07:18 Great.
07:20 Should we meet somewhere local?
07:22 Yeah, local's good.
07:23 How's the Rovers?
07:24 Perfect.
07:24 What time?
07:26 Oh, well, my last client is at 3.
07:30 3?
07:31 So be free by 4.
07:33 It's a date.
07:34 To discuss US law.
07:37 I'm looking forward to it.
07:38 [CHUCKLES]
07:40 If I arrive first, it's a glass of red.
07:44 Aye, well remembered.
07:45 Pay attention, me.
07:46 I'll see you later.
07:48 Nice to meet you, Adam.
07:49 See you.
07:52 Do you know, it's a while since another solicitor
07:54 wanted my advice.
07:56 Yeah, that's exactly what he wants.
07:58 [FOOTSTEPS]
08:01 [CAR DRIVING]
08:04 Right.
08:09 Now, I know you said you didn't want a custard slice,
08:12 but I got you one.
08:13 Right, biggest in the shop.
08:15 Oozing custard.
08:17 Nearly ate it myself.
08:18 I told you I didn't want anything.
08:21 Oh, come on, Eliza.
08:22 I know you're angry with your dad.
08:24 I'm not angry with my dad.
08:26 I'm angry with you.
08:27 Me?
08:28 You won't let me wait for him.
08:30 And you called him stupid.
08:32 Yeah, well, I shouldn't have said that.
08:34 So why did you?
08:36 Because-- because he let you down.
08:39 You don't know anything.
08:41 Well, what I do know is that this is
08:42 the second time he's done it.
08:43 His car broke down.
08:45 Can't blame him for that.
08:46 If his car really broke down--
08:48 Why would he lie?
08:49 Because-- because I just don't think he cares about you.
08:54 It's not true.
08:55 Oh, come on.
08:55 He's never bothered with you in your entire life.
08:58 Then all of a sudden, he wants a film night,
09:00 but he doesn't turn up.
09:02 Then he wants a breakfast, and he doesn't turn up.
09:04 If he cared about you, he would have turned up.
09:07 I'm sorry.
09:11 I didn't mean to upset you.
09:14 Where are you going?
09:16 Going home.
09:17 Maybe he's there.
09:18 Oh, look, Eliza.
09:25 Eliza!
09:27 Eliza!
09:28 Eliza.
09:32 Hey!
09:47 Darling, how-- where does it hurt?
09:49 My arm. It's all over my arm.
09:51 OK, listen, all right.
09:52 But don't-- don't worry.
09:52 I'm going to get you to a hospital.
09:54 Can you stand, or--
09:56 or shall I call an ambulance?
09:57 I can stand on.
09:59 OK, OK, now listen.
10:00 You hold your arm, right?
10:02 And you keep it still. Ready?
10:03 Come on, we're going to get up, OK?
10:05 Ow!
10:05 That's it.
10:06 Come on, girl.
10:07 Come on.
10:08 Be brave.
10:09 Now hold it still.
10:10 Hold it still.
10:11 And that flat's freezing.
10:15 Boiler's on the blink.
10:16 Sometimes I just sit there in two cardigans and long socks.
10:19 Do you know, I've asked for mine to send
10:24 for one of those electric blankets.
10:26 I mean, Tyrone could pay for it unless he wants his grandmother
10:30 to die of hypothermia, which he probably does.
10:35 It is September, and the weather is remarkably clammy.
10:39 Well, I am very sensitive to cold in the extremities,
10:42 you see.
10:43 What I'm really worried about is the kids.
10:45 Because what if a dealer came round where the kids were in?
10:50 Oh, I'd just sit there shivering with me heart banging.
10:55 Perhaps he feels that she needs support,
10:57 that being in a family environment
11:00 might keep her on the straight and narrow.
11:02 Well, perhaps he's a fool.
11:04 Or that he's unwilling to abandon someone so vulnerable.
11:09 Have you finished with that?
11:11 Yes, thank you.
11:12 You're too soft.
11:19 Perhaps you're too hard.
11:22 What, because I don't want Tyrone
11:24 to be taken advantage of?
11:25 Because Cassie can wind anybody around a little finger.
11:30 And if I'm not mistaken, so could she.
11:33 [PHONE RINGING]
11:37 [PHONE RINGING]
11:39 Hello?
11:40 Oh, Fiz.
11:42 Ah, it's nice to hear a friendly voice.
11:46 Me?
11:47 Oh, you know, can't complain.
11:50 Well, I never do.
11:52 Why'd you need me, though?
11:57 Well, if you're in a big party, it's doing that.
11:59 Darren's pissed off when he asked you to come.
12:00 Did he really?
12:01 Yeah, he really was.
12:02 I mean, I did have plans.
12:04 What plans?
12:05 Just plans.
12:06 Plans, got plans, just plans.
12:08 Come on, man, it'll be fun.
12:11 Darren needs a good blow.
12:12 OK, you get on well with Courtney, and we're celebrating.
12:14 That means she gets all the way you want,
12:15 and your old man's paying.
12:17 Fine, I'll be there.
12:20 Thanks, Dad.
12:20 Don't mention it, son.
12:23 Now, what is it with you youngsters?
12:26 You say you want to be treated like grown-ups,
12:27 and as soon as you get off the seat at the table,
12:28 you try your best to swerve it.
12:30 Maybe he's got his reasons.
12:31 What reasons?
12:33 You know what?
12:34 He's probably just a little bit worried
12:35 he's got nothing to chat about.
12:37 Mind that having someone his own age there would really help.
12:40 I already said no.
12:41 Yeah, and I heard you, but this could be
12:43 a great opportunity for you.
12:46 How?
12:47 Loads of money.
12:50 See that Darren?
12:51 He invests loads of money on good causes.
12:55 So perhaps you could talk to him about your woman's
12:57 counseling service.
12:59 Bing.
13:00 Well, you heard what the doctor said.
13:07 It's only a minor fracture.
13:09 And they're going to put you in a cast.
13:11 So I reckon you're going to be right as rain
13:14 in no time at all.
13:15 Will I still be able to play the guitar?
13:18 Yeah, of course.
13:19 I mean, maybe not for a while.
13:22 But you know, some of the greatest musicians
13:24 have been in pain, and they've put it into the music.
13:27 So I reckon you're going to play that guitar better than ever
13:30 once you're recovered.
13:32 You don't know that.
13:33 I want my dad.
13:39 Can you call him, please?
13:41 Yeah.
13:42 Yeah, of course I can.
13:43 Walk time.
13:49 You just can't bring yourself to say walkies, can you?
13:52 I don't see the need to infantilize animals.
13:55 Yeah, you're right.
13:56 Best to teach them the correct grammar, eh?
13:59 What do you want me to do now?
14:01 You knocked your break off, yeah?
14:02 You can take it if you want.
14:04 No, it's all right.
14:04 I can do the parts if you like.
14:06 Yeah, yeah, if you're sure.
14:07 Yeah, always.
14:09 Yeah, sit.
14:12 Yeah, she's a-- she's a good person.
14:16 She works hard.
14:16 She's kind.
14:18 I simply feel that life has dealt her a difficult hand.
14:22 Yeah.
14:25 How would you feel about her living with us in the flat?
14:29 I don't know if that's a good idea.
14:32 I know it's not without risk.
14:34 But I worry about her not having a secure place to live.
14:39 You yourself have experienced what
14:41 it's like being in accommodation,
14:43 where you feel unsafe.
14:44 It throws you onto the streets.
14:47 Surely you wouldn't want the same for Lauren.
14:49 Of course I don't.
14:51 I'm worried about you.
14:53 Yeah, she's vulnerable, but she's unstable.
14:55 And whilst I think it's great what you're doing to help,
14:58 I just don't think her living is a good idea.
15:00 I'm sorry.
15:00 Did you manage to finish the invoices?
15:07 I started.
15:08 Paperwork's not my strong point.
15:10 You could vacuum the inside of that Fiesta
15:12 out back if you want.
15:14 Sure.
15:15 I want to finish my tea.
15:17 It's OK, isn't it?
15:18 Yeah, of course it is.
15:19 Perhaps you could make us all one, eh?
15:21 Do you ever use seat belts?
15:24 Dope.
15:26 What are you doing here?
15:28 Where's she gone off to?
15:29 She's gone to make us a brew.
15:31 Oh, right.
15:31 Well, she's doing something.
15:32 That's good.
15:33 She's working really hard, actually.
15:36 Well, just so long as it lasts past the first pay packet.
15:40 I thought you didn't want any more arguing.
15:42 I don't.
15:43 I'm only here because your wife called me.
15:47 Did she?
15:47 Why?
15:48 Why?
15:49 Because we're still close, or have you forgotten?
15:51 And it's absolutely clear to me that she
15:54 knew nothing about Cassie's relapse or finding her.
15:59 Right, well, you didn't tell her, did you?
16:01 No.
16:02 No, you have to do that.
16:04 Well, I will.
16:05 When the time's right.
16:07 The time's right now, Tyrone.
16:09 Because if you don't, I will.
16:11 I saw him and he said, take me to Eliza.
16:19 I love him.
16:20 I knew you would.
16:22 So what happened exactly?
16:26 Well, she walked out into the road.
16:29 She wasn't looking in her car, either.
16:31 And before you ask, no, they didn't stop.
16:34 They just drove off.
16:35 Why wasn't she looking?
16:36 We were arguing.
16:38 About what?
16:39 Does it matter?
16:40 You.
16:41 Oh, really?
16:43 Look, she was upset because you didn't turn up for breakfast,
16:46 like you didn't turn up for the film night.
16:48 My car broke down.
16:49 And this morning?
16:51 It still wasn't fixed.
16:52 Told you.
16:53 You could have let her know.
16:54 My phone ran out of battery.
16:56 Well, no, she said that you read the text.
16:58 Yeah, I read it when I had 1% left,
17:00 and then it ran out as I was replying.
17:03 Convenient.
17:04 You calling me a liar?
17:05 Yeah.
17:06 Granddad?
17:07 I am.
17:08 I was beside myself.
17:09 I went home to charge my phone, and I was literally
17:11 about to call you when your granddad ran,
17:13 said you were in hospital.
17:15 Likely story.
17:16 The truth.
17:18 You seemed pretty keen to blame me
17:19 when you were the one who let her walk into the path
17:21 of an oncoming car.
17:22 Yeah, well, I couldn't get to it in time.
17:24 Younger man might have.
17:26 Perhaps you're too old to be looking after a child.
17:28 I would say, yeah.
17:30 Hi, Eliza.
17:32 I've come to take you to get your cast fitted, love.
17:34 Great, I'll go with you, love.
17:37 Um, I'd rather my dad come.
17:39 Right, it's not your place to go calling, Fiz.
17:45 No, it's yours, and you haven't.
17:48 Which is appalling, because she is Hope's mother.
17:50 Can you take this somewhere else?
17:52 Miss Middleton is about to pick up her car.
17:54 I don't want to cause all this upset.
17:55 Oh, she don't want to cause all this--
17:57 No, it was your attitude that started all this
17:58 in the first place. - Here we go.
18:00 Here we go.
18:00 Can we please, please, please just stop?
18:02 You were the one that came over here, mouthing it off to me.
18:05 Yeah, because his wife should know all about this.
18:08 Don't you dare call her.
18:09 Can I interrupt?
18:10 Not really, no.
18:12 Might I suggest we discuss this calmly over a cup
18:15 of tea in the cafe?
18:16 Oh, perfect.
18:18 That'll solve everything.
18:19 That is a great idea.
18:20 Off you all go.
18:21 Now!
18:23 Come along, Freddy.
18:24 [DOOR OPENS]
18:28 Hey.
18:40 Sorry I couldn't get here any sooner.
18:42 How is she?
18:43 Yeah, no, she's fine.
18:44 But she's fractured her arm.
18:46 She's getting incarcerated.
18:48 By herself?
18:49 Well, she's got the person that she wants with her.
18:52 Who?
18:53 Dom.
18:55 Dom.
18:58 It was my fault that she got hit by the car.
19:01 How is it your fault? You said that she
19:03 walked out into the road.
19:05 I should have looked after her better.
19:08 I shouldn't have upset her.
19:09 This is not your fault. It's his.
19:12 He's the one that's let her down, not you.
19:15 I mean, you wouldn't have been arguing if he'd turned up.
19:20 He said I was too old, that I didn't react quick enough.
19:25 That's not true.
19:27 He weren't there, though.
19:29 You look after Eliza brilliantly.
19:31 Don't let Dom get to you.
19:33 Yeah, but he's got to her.
19:35 I mean, all he's ever done is let her down.
19:37 And yet, Eliza thinks the sun shines out of his backside.
19:41 Backside that I made very clear that I like the kick.
19:44 She's just found her dad.
19:46 He's all shiny and new, and nothing that he says or does
19:50 is going to dull that right now.
19:53 But if he's as dodgy as you say he is,
19:55 then the shine's going to wear off quickly.
19:57 And she's going to need someone there to pick up the pieces.
20:01 So just let her know that you're going to be there for her.
20:05 Let her know that you're her rock.
20:07 Accept the fact that she's going to throw a few stones at you
20:10 and put up with it.
20:13 Because you're a rock, and a few stones
20:15 aren't going to hurt you.
20:16 Oh, hiya.
20:25 Sorry I'm late.
20:26 No, you're not.
20:27 I was early.
20:28 Too keen?
20:28 Not at all.
20:29 You're clearly a man who's interested in his work.
20:32 Speaking of which, I've dug this out for you.
20:34 Now, it's great on the manuscript.
20:35 You're welcome to borrow it if you want.
20:37 I just thought I could give you, like, a bigger picture
20:39 talk through first.
20:42 Sounds perfect.
20:43 Amazing.
20:43 It's a great chance for me to collect my memory.
20:45 So--
20:49 And the dog says, I don't even like ice cream.
20:52 Hey, guess who I found.
20:54 Hiya.
20:55 Nice cast.
20:57 Yeah, that looks really cool.
20:58 I asked for one myself.
21:01 Oh, this is my dad.
21:03 Hi, I'm Dom.
21:03 You are?
21:04 Alia, Yasmeen's granddaughter.
21:06 Eliza tells me great things about Yasmeen.
21:09 And you.
21:10 Well, she's a great girl.
21:12 We're delighted that she's living with us.
21:15 So what did the nurse say?
21:17 That she's free to go, but she'll
21:19 have to come back and get her proper cast
21:20 fitted in a few days.
21:21 Oh, that's great news.
21:23 And I've spoken to your mum.
21:24 She sends her love, and she's looking forward
21:26 to seeing you next week with your new fashion accessory.
21:29 Cool.
21:30 So what do you fancy doing this evening?
21:33 I reckon pizza's on the menu.
21:37 I want to go with my dad.
21:39 That's OK, isn't it?
21:41 Yeah, of course.
21:44 We could have our film night.
21:46 Yeah, that's what you want to do.
21:47 That's fine.
21:49 But we're going to have to get an overnight bag, yeah?
21:52 Not just for tonight.
21:53 I want to live with him.
22:10 What have you been filling your head with?
22:12 Take it easy.
22:13 I didn't say anything.
22:14 This is news to me, too.
22:16 I can make my own mind up.
22:18 Clearly not.
22:20 I'm going to leave you guys to it.
22:22 Are you sure?
22:23 I mean, this affects you, too.
22:25 I think it might be a calmer chat if I'm not around.
22:27 OK, Eliza, do you want to talk us through it?
22:33 Does it matter?
22:35 I've made my decision.
22:36 It matters because you're a child.
22:39 You don't get to decide things like this.
22:41 Who says?
22:42 The law.
22:43 It says I'm your guardian.
22:45 Well, I don't want you to be.
22:48 Why don't we all just calm down, take a breath?
22:51 Eliza, please, why do you want to live with Dom?
22:55 Because he's fun.
22:56 And he's my dad.
22:57 Fun?
22:58 Fun does not put food on the table.
23:01 He's got a job.
23:02 Maybe, but he can't look after you.
23:04 And you can.
23:07 All right, Stu, why don't you get us some snacks?
23:09 No, no, I want to sort this out.
23:11 Stu.
23:12 All right, but I won't be long.
23:16 Ooh, nice to see you on the other side of the counter today.
23:22 What can I get you?
23:23 A pot of tea, please.
23:25 Coming up.
23:26 And what brings you all in here today, then?
23:29 Does a bit of privacy come with that pot of tea?
23:31 I'll start, shall I?
23:36 No, I will.
23:38 Have you learned nothing about keeping
23:41 secrets from your wife?
23:43 Don't know what you're talking about.
23:45 Oh, well, I'll say it again, this time in Romanian.
23:48 That's different, and you know it is.
23:50 I don't want Fiz worrying.
23:51 But why would she worry if she's a beacon of innocence?
23:55 See, this is what she does.
23:57 She can twist anything to suit her own agenda.
24:00 Roy, you agree with me, don't you?
24:03 Well, I can see both sides.
24:07 How do you get the creosote stains out of your trousers,
24:10 then?
24:11 Pardon?
24:11 From sitting on the fence.
24:13 Go on, just commit yourself to an opinion for once.
24:15 Go on.
24:16 Well, perhaps Evelyn has a point.
24:20 Fiz has a right to know the facts.
24:25 In an ideal world, yeah, but you know what she's like.
24:28 She'll be back here trying to make sure everything's OK,
24:30 which it is, by the way, and I don't want her ruining that job.
24:34 Well, in that case, perhaps, maybe as a compromise,
24:38 you could think about moving back to the flat,
24:41 swapping with Evelyn.
24:42 I'm not so sure that's a good idea.
24:43 Why not?
24:44 He wants someone to keep an eye on me.
24:47 Well, then, Evelyn could remain at the flat,
24:51 so you could be together.
24:54 I am not spending another minute alone with that witch.
24:57 And the feeling is completely mutual.
25:01 Well, I'm reminded of the riddle of the fox, the chicken,
25:05 and the bag of grain.
25:07 Now, am I in that little story, then?
25:09 You're the redhead with the feathers
25:11 stuck between her teeth.
25:13 Ah, so you must be the chicken.
25:15 Yeah, that makes sense, the cowardly one.
25:17 [CLUCKING]
25:19 I'm lost.
25:20 Yeah, well, you must be the bag of grain.
25:22 You're dense enough.
25:24 Oh, what a way to speak to a grandson.
25:26 Right, I've said my say.
25:28 Now, I should just be silent, if that's what you prefer.
25:31 With all my heart.
25:34 Fine.
25:36 Fine.
25:39 Thank you.
25:41 I think that you should stay hours tonight.
25:44 I mean, you're already an arm down.
25:46 You could do without a house move.
25:48 So once my arms are better, I can stay at my dad's?
25:52 Not necessarily.
25:54 You're as bad as my granddad.
25:56 Why does no one care about what I want?
25:58 Of course we do.
26:00 My granddad wants everything his way.
26:04 That's not true.
26:05 I wish I never moved in with him.
26:07 What?
26:08 I hate him.
26:10 Look, I know that this is a bit of a tough situation,
26:13 but you can be really ungrateful sometimes.
26:17 Ungrateful?
26:19 Granddad's due's age.
26:21 They spend a few hours a week with the grandchildren,
26:24 and then they go back to enjoying their retirement.
26:27 Stu, he's working day in and day out.
26:31 He's making sure that you're safe and that you're healthy
26:34 and that you've got everything that you need.
26:36 So if he's got reservations about you
26:37 moving in with your dad, I would listen to him if I were you.
26:41 Because no one cares about you as much as your granddad does.
26:43 How can we resolve this to everyone's like?
26:53 The flat I have to live in.
26:55 Nobody kicked you out of our house.
26:56 If you don't like that grotty little flat,
26:58 get yourself a nicer flat.
26:59 I can't afford a nicer flat.
27:01 This obviously hasn't done a bit of homework.
27:10 I lent him a book, but it's probably a waste of time.
27:12 Hang on, all you did was talk about the American legal system.
27:15 Well, all I did.
27:16 Like I said, he didn't know anything.
27:18 I have to say, and he was interested and all.
27:21 How is it possible?
27:23 What?
27:24 Last week, you pointed out on page 98 of a 112-page contract
27:29 that someone had used a colon instead of a semicolon.
27:32 That is my job. Yeah, and you're very good at it.
27:34 Your attention to detail is spot on. Nothing gets past you.
27:37 But? But despite your observational skills,
27:40 you still can't tell when you've been asked out on a date.
27:43 A date? A date, yeah.
27:45 SHE LAUGHS
27:52 Well, there you are.
27:54 So what did you do to encourage her?
27:58 That's why I didn't say anything.
27:59 Oh, don't give me that.
28:03 You're telling me that she made that decision on her own,
28:05 that indulgence from you?
28:07 That's the last thing I'd do.
28:10 What do you mean?
28:11 Having her once in a while would be great.
28:15 But permanently...
28:17 Hang on.
28:20 After all this, you don't even want her?
28:23 There's nothing else for it.
28:29 I'm going to have to come down with a mystery illness.
28:31 What kind of illness?
28:33 All I need to say is, "Women's troubles," and "Dad will run a mile."
28:37 It won't be that bad.
28:39 Even if I like boring business dinners, which, you know, who does?
28:42 I don't mind them.
28:44 No, but even if I did, I don't get a choice.
28:47 It's like sorting off a Jane Austen novel.
28:49 I mean, I'll be there if that helps.
28:52 No, that just makes it worse.
28:57 Cos I can't talk to you.
28:59 Not properly.
29:00 And I can't touch you.
29:04 And kiss you.
29:05 I'm going to go, either, then.
29:08 You need to go. Your hand's a little protégé.
29:12 Well, then, let's go for it together.
29:13 Then afterwards, we can compare notes on my dad's table manners.
29:17 SHE CHUCKLES
29:19 I don't deserve you.
29:23 Yes, you do.
29:25 So, why have you been getting her hopes up?
29:28 It's not like I don't enjoy spending time with her.
29:31 Oh, yeah, but you don't want to do it full-time.
29:34 I don't think I could.
29:36 Course you couldn't. I wouldn't trust you with a goldfish.
29:40 But that doesn't stop Eliza thinking you're God's gift of parenthood.
29:43 I can't help it if she likes my company.
29:45 You're supposed to be a father, not a friend.
29:47 - Don't be both. - Come on, anyone can be a cool dad.
29:51 There's no rules, no consequences.
29:54 Of course she likes spending time with someone
29:56 who treats every day like it's a summer holiday.
29:59 But now she's got it in her head that every day's going to be like that.
30:02 I'm not like you. I'm not cut out for handing out punishments.
30:05 It's not punishments.
30:07 It's... It's discipline. It's guidance.
30:10 - Kids need that. - I just can't do it.
30:12 - You're better at that kind of thing. - I know that. And you know that.
30:16 But how do we get Eliza to see it?
30:18 Maybe I could take a bit of a step back.
30:22 Oh. You know...
30:24 See her less and persuade her that you're a better choice.
30:30 And you'd do that?
30:33 - If it's best for Eliza. - Yeah. Yeah, it is.
30:36 Cos I am struggling a bit at the moment.
30:40 What do you mean, struggling?
30:43 I've just got a bit of credit card debt.
30:46 Why? Am I not surprised at that?
30:48 So seeing as how I'm doing you a favour and letting Eliza stay with you,
30:52 maybe you could do me one?
30:55 Sorry, I... I'm not following.
30:58 You've got a lot of compensation money still.
31:01 You know, ten grand should cover it.
31:05 SHE SCOFFS
31:07 I can't believe this. You're trying to sell your own daughter.
31:20 That's not what I said. That's horrible.
31:23 How else would you put it? I give you cash and then you walk away?
31:26 - You're twisting what I've said. - End result's the same.
31:29 You want money over your own flesh and blood.
31:32 You're the one who wants rid of me.
31:34 All I'm asking is for you to help Eliza's dad out.
31:37 - We're a family, like it or not. - I'm not your family.
31:40 - So it's a no? - Of course it's a no.
31:45 I'm not paying you to be an absent father.
31:47 You're doing that well enough for free.
31:50 In that case, I'll tell her she can't live with me.
31:52 Oh, come on.
31:54 We both know you're not cut out for it.
31:57 Are you really that desperate for cash?
32:01 I am in a bit of a hole, yeah, and this'll just help me get out of it.
32:05 - I won't do it. - You won't do what?
32:11 Hey, Eliza!
32:13 - Good to go? - What is it you won't do?
32:16 I won't let your dad take you home today.
32:22 You wanna take me home?
32:25 Course I do.
32:27 So let me go. It's what we both want.
32:30 - Just accept it. - Until the court says otherwise, you're staying with me.
32:34 - But... - No arguments!
32:37 Come on, let's go to the car.
32:39 See you soon, love.
32:43 You're not getting a penny.
32:49 Oh, love.
32:55 Look, I know it's hard, but we'll see each other really soon as well.
32:58 - I can't wait. I can't wait to see you. - Me too.
33:02 Yeah.
33:04 - Ring me any time you need, yeah? - I will.
33:07 - OK, see you later. Bye. - Love you. Bye.
33:11 Bye.
33:13 So, what's the verdict?
33:20 You can stay.
33:22 Oh, Tyrone.
33:24 Thank you so much. I won't let you down, honest.
33:28 Well, you better not do.
33:30 Because I've told Fiz that we can rely on you, so don't make me a liar.
33:33 I won't.
33:35 I, erm... I found this in an old coat pocket.
33:39 She'll buy us all a chippy tea.
33:41 I'm not gonna get very far with a tenner.
33:44 Are you sure you can trust me with this?
33:50 Four fish and chips should be fine.
33:53 I can stay.
33:55 Look, I'm sorry, love. I didn't get a chance to tell you all Ruby, but...
34:01 are you OK with that?
34:03 Yeah.
34:05 Because, you know, if you're not, we can always sort something else out, yeah?
34:09 If your family don't look after her, who will?
34:15 Right, so what spirit animal is Kevin, then?
34:21 Spirit animal?
34:23 Yeah, so every bloke's hair fits into 12 different types of categories, all right?
34:28 And I've put those types of hair into, like, spirit animals.
34:32 It's just easier to remember that way, OK?
34:35 So my hair is the puma.
34:37 Max is the funky gibbon hair.
34:40 Ken Barlow, he's Lion King, obviously.
34:44 So what do we think Kevin's hair is?
34:47 OK, what about an angry badger?
34:49 A badger?
34:51 I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.
34:53 You just said you did make the rules.
34:55 Yeah, I did, didn't I?
34:57 All right. Ah, here's my favourite silverback now.
35:01 I just thought Max might like to know that we've found a flat for Lauren.
35:05 Oh, really?
35:07 And she's got a job part-time at a call centre.
35:10 We must go.
35:12 Thank you.
35:15 DOOR CLOSES
35:17 You don't have to be embarrassed, you know.
35:27 Eh?
35:29 To ask me out.
35:31 You don't have to get your dad to do it for you.
35:33 What you on about?
35:35 I'm your date. Tomorrow, at the bistro.
35:39 What? I don't need a date.
35:42 Not according to your dad.
35:44 Oh, so now he's organising my love life?
35:46 Love life? Don't flatter yourself.
35:48 And don't worry, I won't let on about yours and Courtney's affair.
35:51 Why don't you like her?
35:53 I just think you deserve to be with somebody who actually cares about you.
35:56 Like who?
35:58 Oh, here they are, the happy couple.
36:02 Please, no more matchmaking.
36:04 What a grump.
36:06 Who'd have him, eh?
36:08 DOOR OPENS
36:10 HE SIGHS
36:12 Hold on. What do you want for your tea?
36:19 Can you not keep your temper under control for five minutes?
36:24 I wasn't thinking straight, Dom.
36:27 I just offered to walk away.
36:29 What? Really?
36:31 In exchange for ten grand.
36:33 He offered to sell her to you?
36:36 Yeah.
36:37 I mean, who even does that?
36:39 Bad fathers, that's who.
36:41 Why didn't you tell Eliza?
36:43 Come on, she doesn't need to know that her dad would sell her off for the right price.
36:48 It'd break her heart.
36:50 Yeah, of course, yeah, you're right.
36:52 Must have been tempting to stick the boot in.
36:54 Oh, yeah, yeah, very.
36:56 You're not going to pay him, are you?
36:59 I don't know, I mean...
37:02 It would be cheaper twice the price to get rid of him.
37:06 I just don't like getting down to his level.
37:09 Be careful.
37:11 Cos if you do give him the money and he goes back on his word and tries to get custody,
37:15 well, with Eliza on his side and ten grand in his back pocket, he'll win.
37:20 So when are you going to let me cut your hair, then?
37:25 You are never going to cut my hair. Why not?
37:27 Cos you open crisp bags from the bottom, you weirdo.
37:30 OK, well, if I'm such a weirdo, then why do you like hanging out with me so much?
37:35 Cos you're an OK kisser. Just OK.
37:37 Practice makes perfect.
37:39 Hiya!
37:41 Lauren.
37:43 Max.
37:44 Er, Roy said you were getting a flight, is that it?
37:47 Yeah, number four.
37:49 I'm in number three, welcome to the neighbourhood, I suppose.
37:55 Yeah, right, I'm just going to get on.
38:00 Laters.
38:03 Well, this is going to be awkward.
38:05 Yep.
38:07 Are you sure?
38:09 Like, sure, sure?
38:11 I've asked enough girls out in my time to recognise the date when I see her.
38:14 Then why even mention US law?
38:16 Just call them in. You find out one piece of information about a girl's life,
38:20 a hobby, an interest, then you start the conversation from there.
38:23 You men, you idiots. I mean, why wouldn't you just say what you want?
38:26 I've tried that. You get a fair few slaps in the face.
38:29 Well, at least enough for the next book.
38:31 I thought you'd like this one.
38:33 Yeah, you know, it's fate, I suppose.
38:36 Well, give his office a call and make another date.
38:38 If he was still interested, he'd have left me his number, I doubt.
38:41 He probably thought you were giving him the brush-off with all your textbooks.
38:44 Come on, he was keen enough to track you down.
38:47 You should return the favour.
38:49 Will it be covered in cobwebs?
38:52 No, it is extremely clean.
38:54 No.
38:56 I don't mean real cobwebs.
38:59 I mean pretend ones, for gothic ambience.
39:02 Nina's room is very tastefully decorated.
39:05 Right. And does it have a lock on it?
39:08 It has. Right.
39:10 I'm telling you now, I shall be using it.
39:13 As you wish. But I wouldn't enter without your permission.
39:17 Well, not you. The other fella.
39:19 Oh, you're referring to my sleepwalking.
39:21 Well, yes.
39:23 I mean, I don't want him banging on me door, do I?
39:26 Asking for who knows what.
39:29 I only sleepwalk when I'm stressed.
39:32 Are you stressed now?
39:34 Well, I wasn't until a few moments ago.
39:36 Well, it'll be nicer for this one,
39:38 not being pushed about from pillar to post, won't it?
39:41 Won't it, little man, eh?
39:43 Yes. Well, yes, it will be nice for Freddie to have only one residence.
39:47 There you go, lad. You know your way.
39:49 So, you've done very well, really.
39:52 Solving our riddle.
39:54 Well, I'm pleased that we've managed to come to a compromise
39:58 that satisfies all parties.
40:00 But I've no idea why you're falling over yourself to help that girl.
40:04 Lauren? Yeah.
40:06 Well, for the same reason that Tyron is helping Cassie,
40:09 that I've been carrying your bags,
40:12 because when someone is in need of assistance,
40:16 one doesn't stand idly by.
40:18 Eliza?
40:24 Eliza?
40:26 Oh.
40:28 Oh. You all right?
40:30 Yeah, just hungry.
40:32 I thought you might be.
40:34 Well, I've put your tea in the tub in the fridge.
40:37 Do you want me to heat it up for you?
40:39 No, I can do it.
40:41 Well, listen, about earlier,
40:43 I'm sorry.
40:45 I'm trying my best, but I know I don't always get it right.
40:49 It's OK.
40:51 We'll talk more in the morning, yeah?
40:53 I've got choir practice first thing,
40:56 so I might be gone when you wake up.
40:58 Oh. Do you want me to give you a lift?
41:00 No, I'll get the bus. OK.
41:02 Well, listen, I don't want you stopping up too late, all right?
41:06 Good night. Night.
