00:00Do you want me to walk to school with you?
00:28Gemma's asked you a question.
00:30It's fine.
00:31No, it's not fine. I know you're upset.
00:34I'm going.
00:35No, I'm talking to you.
00:36Yeah, but you're the only one who is.
00:38All my mates are ghosting me on the group chat.
00:41They're not your mates then, are they?
00:42Not after yesterday, no. Are we done? Can I go now?
00:45Oh, it's yours, is it?
00:51He's never gonna forgive me, is he?
00:53Course he is.
00:55What if I go to jail?
00:57For nicking a pair of shoes?
00:59A kid, what's his name?
01:01Ollie?
01:03He's not gonna want his dad to press charges, is he?
01:05It's just as embarrassing for him.
01:07Do you reckon?
01:08Yeah.
01:09Yeah, they'll all be forgotten about.
01:13He's probably left his phone behind now.
01:20Let me help you.
01:21I'm looking for Gemma Winter-Brown.
01:26SHE SIGHS
01:31Whoa! Where are you off?
01:34Well, I've got a networking thing
01:36and then I'm actually meeting my fiancée for lunch.
01:39Yeah, that's funny. I'm actually meeting my fiancée for lunch as well.
01:43That is funny. Where are you going?
01:45The bistro.
01:47I'm going to the bistro too.
01:49Maybe I'll see you there.
01:51SHE CHUCKLES
01:52Hey, do you know where it comes from, fiancée?
01:55Er, I know it's French.
01:58Well, it's originally from the Latin.
02:02Fidare.
02:03Oh, so you know a bit of Latin, and now you think me Cicero?
02:06It means to trust.
02:08So, can I trust you, Joel?
02:10I mean, if I'm gonna be marrying you,
02:12it's not I can really trust you.
02:15Actually, I've... I've got something to tell you.
02:19SHE CHUCKLES
02:21Stupid.
02:22Right, let me get my shoes.
02:24I'll give you a lift to that networking thing.
02:26What a guy.
02:29Do you fancy going and seeing the pictures?
02:31Oh, I can't tonight. I've, er, got stuff on.
02:34What stuff?
02:35Er...
02:36If the wind changes, your face will stay like that.
02:38Is that what happened to you?
02:40SHE LAUGHS
02:41That's not funny.
02:43What can I get you?
02:45Oh, Bernadette!
02:46Gemma's been arrested.
02:48What?
02:49What, that fella from the shop?
02:51He's pressing charges.
02:52Over a pair of shoes?
02:54Just one! She thinks someone had given us a break,
02:56but no, no, not us!
02:58Well, they're off with the caution, aren't they?
03:00Well, not when she's got previous for shoplifting, no!
03:03Are you two getting this, or do you want me to write it down for you?
03:06Er, two cups of tea when you're ready.
03:09But I can't get away. Roy won't come out of the flat
03:11and there's no-one else to cover for me.
03:13There's nothing you can do anyway, is there?
03:15Right, I'd better go.
03:17I'll let you know when she gets out, if she gets out.
03:19Sorry for your trouble, mate.
03:21Cheers, Gag.
03:30Ah!
03:31Good timing.
03:32I'm looking for a big, strong man, do you know, aren't I?
03:35No, I'm joking.
03:36The drainman will be here in a sec.
03:38Hey, listen, what are you doing for lunch?
03:40I'm on this afternoon, if you fancy popping in for a hot pot.
03:43And that's not a euphemism.
03:45No, I've got this thing, sorry.
03:47Oh, well, if you've got this thing...
03:49Yeah, no, we're heading to the bistro for a meal
03:51to celebrate Dee Dee's engagement.
03:53Aw!
03:55Are we...are we all right?
03:57Yeah, no, yeah, we're good.
03:59No, I would invite you, but obviously, it's like a family thing
04:02and you're working, so...
04:04OK, well, I'll let you off.
04:06Hey, listen, I've been thinking about what I'm going to do about George.
04:09I'm the one on the right here.
04:11Yeah, but does it matter who's right
04:13if you end up falling out with your broom for the rest of your life?
04:16I just want what's mine.
04:18I know, I know you do.
04:20Look, I'm going to be late for work, but I'll see you later, yeah?
04:24OK.
04:30Locking me up?
04:31Well, unfortunately, all the duty solicitors are busy at the minute,
04:34so until one comes available, we're going to have to put you in a cell.
04:37I wasn't keeping him, I was taking him back.
04:50Saturn has really put you through the mill in the last 12 months.
04:54Oh, there you go, it's Saturn's fault.
04:56Sun and rings around you.
04:58Mm.
04:59Here we are, but forces are at play closer to home, ooh.
05:03Some friends are known for their loyalty,
05:05but for others, betrayal is second nature.
05:08Well, you know what this is about, don't you?
05:10What are you looking at horoscopes for?
05:13I can't believe there's still a thing.
05:15It's about Tracy, isn't it?
05:16I told you she's coming to that unveiling busty thing.
05:19Yeah, once or twice.
05:21I mean, who in their right mind wants to go to something like that anyway?
05:24First drink's free, apparently.
05:26Not that that's a reason to go.
05:28Probably because she's going to get papped.
05:30Well, does she show up in photographs?
05:32I'll do the vampire jokes, won't me, wife? Thank you very much.
05:35No offence.
05:37I mean, I can't believe she's not even going to be here for me 50th birthday.
05:40Not that I worry, obviously, because I don't care about her anymore.
05:43Oh, yeah, I could tell cos you never ever talk about her.
05:45Is this about Tracy?
05:47Oh.
05:48You know, I miss her too,
05:51but she's left a big hole, hasn't she?
05:54In your heart, she's left a big hole in your heart.
05:58Can I get you something, Mary?
06:00Can I get you something, Mary?
06:01A cab, funnily enough.
06:03No, you're right, you shouldn't dwell on these things.
06:05You need to look towards the future.
06:07So, have you any plans for your birthday tomorrow?
06:11Oh, no, no plans.
06:13I'm going to be at home, all alone, on my own.
06:16Tim, can you give me a lift into town?
06:18Cos I want to go and buy a little jacket to go with my new dress for tomorrow.
06:21Tomorrow?
06:23What, do you really need to get dolled up for a doctor's appointment, love?
06:26Well, yeah, I want to look my best.
06:28Come on.
06:29Doctor's appointment, yeah, right.
06:31Maybe I should get myself a new shirt, cos I'm driving a lot to this doctor's appointment.
06:39You know, if you want to talk about how you feel about Tracy,
06:46I'm a good listener.
06:50I'll get you that cab.
06:51Lovely, thank you.
06:54SIGHS
06:57Hey, you know the bloke that brought this micro in?
06:59Guess what he does for a living?
07:01He's a tea taster.
07:03And mags eye troubles all over the world.
07:05Mad lot of people doing it.
07:07How do you get a gig like that?
07:09Because I tell you something, I could do that.
07:11Sit around drinking tea all day.
07:12What do you mean, could?
07:14That's good for you, that.
07:15Anyway, he says at home he'll only drink loose leaf tea.
07:18He reckons the difference between loose leaf and a tea bag, night and day.
07:22I said I know, but it's all a bit faffy, isn't it?
07:24You know what I mean?
07:25But he says once you go loose leaf, you'll never go back.
07:27Not that this isn't riveting, but did you tell this fella his card will be ready for 12?
07:32Yeah.
07:33Right, well, get a wriggle on.
07:34All right.
07:35I'm sorry, mate.
07:39Things still a bit tense with you and Abi?
07:41Well, I had to kip on the couch last night to draw your own conclusions.
07:45You know, I keep telling him,
07:47think before you act.
07:49And it was me.
07:50Went flying off the handle to make things a million times worse.
07:53A million ti...
07:54Oh, come on, mate.
07:55You've messed up, right?
07:56It happens.
07:58Apologise to her.
07:59Do something nice for her.
08:00Tell her how much she means to you.
08:02I think after everything she's been through, she probably just needs a bit of TLC.
08:06Yeah.
08:07I'll, er, box this mortar off and I'll go home.
08:10Thanks.
08:12You'll soon be back in the big boy's bed.
08:20Thank you.
08:24Surprised?
08:25Surprised. I'm amazed.
08:26How did you get my mum and dad here?
08:28Well, let's just say they have warmed to me.
08:30She's been big enough to accept our apology.
08:33We're happy for you.
08:34Both of you.
08:36Cheers.
08:37Cheers.
08:40Just go with it.
08:43Congratulations.
08:45Cheers.
08:46It's about time we have something to celebrate.
08:48Yeah, you'd better look after her again, yeah?
08:50I intend to.
08:52Hey.
08:53So, are you pregnant then?
08:55Oh.
08:56No, Debbie, I'm not.
08:57People don't get married because they're up the spout anymore.
08:59It's not like, you know, I'm backing, are they?
09:02Would you, though, ever get married again?
09:05Well, if I ever met the right one.
09:08You'll get one over your head in a minute.
09:10Are you saying you want to get married?
09:14To you?
09:15I'd rather stick pins in me eyes.
09:18Come here, you great, big, beautiful man.
09:24So, what do you reckon, eh?
09:27I knew you were up to something.
09:29You didn't know what, though, did you?
09:31No.
09:33Listen, I'm going to have to duck out in a bit.
09:36I've got this client.
09:37I'll try not to be too long.
09:39I asked you to keep today free.
09:41I mean, you've got your parents here and everything.
09:45No, you're right.
09:46I... I'll stay.
09:48And thanks for... for all of this.
09:51I don't deserve you.
09:53No.
09:55Ooh!
09:59They can't be in all seven.
10:10Is my solicitor here?
10:13Still waiting for one to become available.
10:18I've seen you about, haven't I?
10:23So, what you in for?
10:25Shoplifting.
10:27I was desperate.
10:29That's what they all say.
10:30It was just a pair of shoes for my daughter.
10:32She's only four.
10:34Her old ones are too small.
10:35They were really hurting her.
10:39Have you got kids?
10:42Yeah, I will.
10:43I'd do anything to stop them being in pain.
10:45Any man would.
10:47Not in here.
10:49I'm not making excuses, all right?
10:51I know I shouldn't have done it.
10:52That's why I was taking them back.
10:54I wouldn't be here if I hadn't took them back.
10:56I'm just trying to do what's best for my family.
11:01The solicitor shouldn't be too long.
11:03Then they'll take you in for questioning.
11:13It's a nice surprise.
11:15Have you got five minutes?
11:17Yeah, for you, always.
11:19Now, sit down here.
11:21Enjoyed going out with Michael the other day?
11:23I think he enjoyed it, too.
11:25You know, I really like him.
11:27I saw him first.
11:32I'm not asking you.
11:34I'm asking you.
11:36I'm not asking you.
11:38I'm not asking you.
11:41I'm not asking for the world.
11:43Oh, sounds like a song.
11:45Don't tempt me.
11:47I just want my fair crack at the whip, George.
11:50Believe it or not, Glenda,
11:52I have been trying to be fair.
11:54So you're willing to talk?
11:56Well, if you're willing to start making sensible demands...
12:02Done it again, haven't I?
12:04I get the feeling that I get your back up every time I open my mouth.
12:07Well, maybe you should open your mouth less and your ears a bit more.
12:11Yeah, go on, I'm listening.
12:15I always got the mucky end of the stick when it comes to Dad.
12:18And I'm still getting it, even when he's dead.
12:21He left you the business and his house and...
12:25I got square root of nothing.
12:28And it should be 50-50.
12:30Yeah.
12:32I don't want anything to do with the business.
12:34You know that I never have.
12:36I want my share.
12:39So...
12:41I think the only fair thing to do is...
12:45..is if you keep the business and I get your house.
12:50Well, that's not 50-50.
12:52But you're not living there. You live with Eileen.
12:55Well, that's not the point. The house is worth more than the business.
12:58Well, you've not done a very good job of the business, then, have you?
13:01Glenda, that's not 50-50.
13:04Are you going to give me the house?
13:07No! What is this, Monopoly? I'm not just going to give you the house.
13:11Sorry, I'm going to have to take this. Just give me one sec.
13:14Oh!
13:15Yeah, speaking.
13:17Yeah, how can I help you, sir? Just give me one minute, OK?
13:35Kit.
13:37Our Gemma's been arrested for shoplifting.
13:40I blame the parents.
13:43Is there anything you can do to get the charges dropped?
13:46You're asking me to do you a favour after what you did?
13:49I'm asking you to do it for your sister.
13:51She's not my sister.
13:53Look, if she goes to jail or even gets a fine, it'll tip them over the edge.
13:57They're already over the edge.
13:59They're hanging on a ledge by the fingertips.
14:01Plenty of people are struggling. They all don't go out on the rob.
14:04Well, she didn't plan it. No, it just happened in the moment.
14:07Carys needed a new pair of shoes and she couldn't afford it.
14:10The kid was in agony in her old ones.
14:12If the shoes were for Gemma, she'd go without.
14:15She goes without a tea sometimes.
14:18She thinks I don't know, but I've seen her eating the kids' leftovers.
14:22She's a good mum.
14:24She's better than I ever was.
14:26That won't be hard.
14:28Please, please, I am begging you.
14:31This is only going to hurt the children.
14:35Right, well, if I do this, you leave me alone for good, yeah?
14:41Yeah.
14:42Yeah, OK.
14:44Thank you.
15:01DOOR OPENS
15:13SHE SIGHS
15:19Mum's not coming home next week.
15:21What?
15:22The weather's hotting up, so she's decided to stay out there.
15:24And she wants me to work in the florist with Mary.
15:26I'm already working at the bistro.
15:28How many flippin' jobs have you got? You've got more outfits than Mr Bed?
15:31Hmm? Never mind.
15:32I'm trying to talk to you, eh?
15:34My mum was coming home next week and now she's not.
15:36We're meant to have a spa day together and everything.
15:38Oh, I'm sorry, love.
15:40She's not going to be home on your birthday, either.
15:42Well, every cloud.
15:45You don't mean that.
15:48Is that a new shirt?
15:50Well, I figured I'd taken it back.
15:53Why? You suit it.
15:55You could wear it for your birthday.
15:57It's not really me.
15:59You didn't buy it for Mum, did you?
16:01It's not really her colour, is it?
16:03She likes black to go with her heart.
16:05You know what I mean. She thought she was coming home.
16:07No, it's Eve.
16:08I've got to get to work.
16:10Hey, listen, I'll go to the spa with you.
16:12You do me in the shop, right?
16:14Don't ever change, Dad.
16:21DOOR CLOSES
16:28PHONE RINGS
16:36Are you looking for anything in particular?
16:39Well, I've always fancied a pair of desert boots.
16:42Steve McQueen used to wear them in Bullet.
16:44That's a movie.
16:46Would you like to try a pair?
16:48Not today, sadly.
16:50I'm here to ask you a couple of questions
16:52about yesterday's shoplifting incident.
16:55What are you doing here?
16:57I'm here to take a statement.
16:59Sorry, mate, just give us a sec.
17:03There's a women's clothes shop down the road I need you to go in.
17:06Let's see if we've had any similar incidents.
17:08Nobody's said anything about other shops.
17:11It's called using your initiative.
17:13These thieves steal to order.
17:15They've probably done a few shops.
17:18Right.
17:20I'm going to go and see if I can find anything.
17:22Right.
17:24Cheers, mate.
17:28Sorry about that.
17:30Two policemen in one day.
17:32I'm glad you're taking it so seriously.
17:34You hear about it on the news.
17:36Shoplifting is not a priority.
17:38Well, I'm making this one a priority.
17:44DOOR CLOSES
17:53There you are.
17:56Enjoying the meal?
17:58I am.
18:00Listen, I just want to say how sorry your mother and I are
18:03about the way we treated Dee Dee.
18:05We just want what's best for you.
18:07And before you say it, I'm sure she is what's best for you.
18:10She's clearly no shrinking violet.
18:13So even if she didn't have our blessing,
18:15now, don't you take a blind bit of notice anyway?
18:17I doubt it.
18:19But she does have our blessing.
18:22I just wish you felt you could have come and told us
18:24about the engagement yourself.
18:26I'm sorry.
18:28It's fine.
18:30I meant what I said. I'm happy for you.
18:32For both of you.
18:34Right.
18:36You coming back inside?
18:38Your mother would like me to do a little speech.
18:40I promise I won't embarrass you.
18:48So listen.
18:50I won't beat around the bush.
18:52I want you to have another little think about what happened
18:54and give that young woman a benefit of the doubt.
18:56Why would I do that?
18:58Because she's a mum with five kids and she was desperate.
19:00Is this a joke?
19:02She's a thief. I want her prosecuted.
19:04I was worried you were going to say that.
19:06So that's why I had a quick shuft at your history
19:09and there's a couple of things on there.
19:11I'm sure you don't want them to come to light.
19:15What is this?
19:17Am I being blackmailed by a policeman?
19:19No.
19:21No. We're just having a nice friendly chat
19:23and in that chat I'm suggesting that you might want to forget about yesterday.
19:26You are?
19:28You're blackmailing me?
19:30It was a £45 pair of shoes and she brought them back.
19:33Now is it really worth all that hassle?
19:35You're a disgrace.
19:37I can't believe this is happening.
19:39Yes or no?
19:43Good man.
19:47You're up at the clothes shop.
19:49Did you get a statement?
19:51Always deciding not to take it further.
19:53I know.
19:55You wonder why we bother sometimes.
20:05You need to come with me.
20:07Mary.
20:09How many times? It can never be.
20:13What's happened?
20:15Is it Eileen?
20:17Not Eileen. Now!
20:19Come on. I'll explain on the way. Move!
20:21Quick!
20:25Abi?
20:27Just a sec.
20:29You had your lunch? I thought I'd make us something.
20:31A bloke came in this morning.
20:33You'd never guess what he did for a job.
20:35He was a tea taster.
20:37How come you're not at work?
20:39I thought I'd take the afternoon off
20:41so we can have a bit of time together.
20:45Where are you going?
20:49Are you leaving me?
20:53Stevie.
20:55Thank you for inviting us.
20:57And welcome to the family.
20:59We're looking forward to getting to know you a lot better.
21:01And Joel.
21:03Well, what can I say about Joel?
21:07We are very, very proud of the man that you've become.
21:09I'm sure you're both going to be
21:11very happy together.
21:13So I'm going to shut up now
21:15so we can all have a drink.
21:17So to Deedee and Joel.
21:19Deedee and Joel.
21:21Aw, chin-chin.
21:27So, anyway.
21:29Tell us about your taekwondo.
21:31When did you start?
21:33Excuse me. Can I help you?
21:35It's fine. I'm here to see Joel.
21:39What are you doing here?
21:43Is it designer? I like a nice...
21:59It's not ideal of you turning up like this.
22:05I'll talk to you about the case tomorrow.
22:09Sorry.
22:11I'll talk to you then.
22:17Who was that?
22:19A client.
22:23Is she the reason you said you might need to leave early?
22:27It's not urgent. This is my priority.
22:29Everyone's here.
22:31It's a special day. Nothing else matters.
22:35She clearly saw me come in.
22:37She's got a lot of problems.
22:41You need to go and do what you do best.
22:43Help people.
22:45Really?
22:47Of course.
22:49Just be quick, yeah?
22:51Yeah.
22:53I'll be right back.
22:59You did return to the shop.
23:01And when you were confronted, you ran off.
23:03Mr Ruskin has identified you as the person
23:05who stole the shoes.
23:07And he'd like to suppress charges.
23:09You'll now be taken down to the custody desk
23:11and you'll be charged.
23:15Have you got a minute?
23:17Interview paused.
23:29The complaint's been dropped.
23:31You're free to go.
23:35Things that bad, are they?
23:37Would you blame me after what happened?
23:39No.
23:43Of course I'm not leaving you.
23:45But I do need to get away, at least for a few days.
23:47Look, Lindsay, she...
23:49she phoned up out of the blue
23:51and invited me and Alfie to...
23:53to spend some time with her in Essex.
23:55Turns out they actually do want to see me.
23:57Of course they want to see you.
23:59Lexie did have chicken pox, after all.
24:01Looks like Lindsay knew nothing about the deepfakes.
24:03See?
24:05Well, there is some good news.
24:07She says they're really excited
24:09about my visit, so...
24:15I'll... I'll let you know when we get there.
24:17Yeah, OK.
24:19I'm just gonna get Alfie and then we'll be off.
24:21Will you give Jack a kiss from me, please?
24:27How dare you just turn up to a family meal?
24:29You're completely out of order.
24:31You have no idea
24:33who you're messing with.
24:35You're an irritant.
24:37Nothing more.
24:39Your allegations are false.
24:41And if you keep repeating them, you're gonna land yourself
24:43in big trouble.
24:45Look, I...
24:47I am sorry, OK?
24:49But I need you to take me seriously.
24:51Why would I do that?
24:53You're just a silly little girl.
24:55I can see right through you.
24:57Not like those people that were in the restaurant.
24:59I need money now.
25:01It's not like you can't afford it.
25:07You need to watch yourself from now on.
25:09I will not put up with another stunt like this, do you understand?
25:13This is all I've got for now.
25:15I'll speak to you later.
25:21I reckon
25:23he's wasting our time.
25:25When he ran yesterday, he was adamant
25:27that he wanted to press charges and now he doesn't.
25:29Or maybe he just wanted to give the girl
25:31a second chance.
25:33She did bring the shoes back.
25:35Yeah, and she ran away again.
25:37Well, after you left, I got a witness statement.
25:39We got chatting.
25:41What's even your case?
25:43I'm sorry if I stood on your toes, but I had an hour spare
25:45and I thought I'd show willingly.
25:47I've impressed a new team.
25:49I could see he was having second thoughts
25:51about sending a struggling mum to prison.
25:53Yeah, cheers, mate.
25:55And don't worry about
25:57standing on my toes.
25:59Thanks, officer.
26:01I'll never go nor bother ever again.
26:05Jenna.
26:07You know her?
26:09Someone who stole the shoes?
26:11Her family are really struggling.
26:13They never seem to have enough
26:15to pay the bills, even though they both work.
26:17I wouldn't want to be
26:19in a situation like theirs.
26:21Such a mad thing to do.
26:23Yeah.
26:25I arrived as Glenda was leaving
26:27and I asked her what she was playing at,
26:29but she just brushed me off and left.
26:31Bet she did.
26:33I mean, she can't just rip Dad's portrait
26:35off the wall and dump it here.
26:37It could have been damaged.
26:39Commissioned by the Guild of Embalmers
26:41and Associated Trades.
26:43Handsome chap, wasn't he?
26:45Very distinguished looking.
26:47That's why he took pride of place
26:49on my dining room wall.
26:51Like he was looking over us.
26:53Can't imagine Eileen wanting him
26:55looking down on us here.
26:57I didn't know you went to Crown Green Bowling.
26:59I mean, did she say why she dumped all my stuff?
27:01What's she playing at, Mary?
27:03It's just some old clothes here
27:05and a couple of curios.
27:07No, that's a bronze pedestal.
27:09He won that in 2006
27:11for best burial of his friend Mike Baldwin.
27:13I mean, she's obviously
27:15been to me house.
27:17How did she get in
27:19if there was no one there?
27:23She must have taken my keys.
27:25Oh, this is outrageous.
27:27What does she think she's doing, Mary?
27:31Well, that were a lot of money on an outfit.
27:33It's not just an outfit, Tim.
27:35It's a whole look.
27:37You know, polished but relaxed.
27:39You see these celebrities on the red carpet
27:41and everything's very carefully chosen.
27:43We haven't got a red carpet. Ours is beige.
27:45I don't want you dressing like a scruff
27:47and showing me up.
27:49I'm wearing a football shirt. He's a football player.
27:51It's the unveiling of his bust.
27:53It's all about glitz and glamour.
27:55Everyone who's anyone who's going to be there.
27:57Oh, we're going to that.
27:59Are we A-listers as well?
28:01Of course we are, Kirky.
28:03You'd better change the subject, Stacey.
28:05Go for a pat, mate.
28:07No, he can't. He's busy.
28:09Oh.
28:11Well, I'll have to get him to do his fitness work.
28:16Why can't I go?
28:18Because you're trying on your suit
28:20and I'm trying on the jacket that I've just bought
28:22to go with my new dress.
28:24Makes sense. I suppose it beats lying to him.
28:26I don't know why you just don't tell him the truth.
28:28What, that I'm going to celebrate the man that took his wife?
28:31Instead of seeing him on his birthday?
28:33That'd really ruin our friendship, that would, love.
28:39Oh, thank you.
28:41I'd better go steady.
28:43It's still only lunchtime.
28:45It is a special occasion.
28:49So, how are things going with Glenda?
28:52Good, yeah.
28:54You don't sound it.
28:56Well, she's got a lot on with her brother
28:58and she's taken up a lot of her energy, so...
29:00So, have you got anything planned for your big day?
29:04Or is it still too early?
29:06You know, I've got a few ideas of how I'd like it,
29:09but I do want Joel's input as well.
29:11Fair play to Joel.
29:13I mean, leaving a family meal to go and help someone.
29:16Yeah, he knows where his priorities are.
29:18He's not practising more to get rich.
29:20He obviously cares about people.
29:22Well, I hope he makes a good living.
29:24But we brought him up to put people first.
29:27He has a big heart.
29:29Well, he's ambitious too, so...
29:31I mean, really, he's perfect husband material.
29:37Here he is.
29:39I'm delighted.
29:44I'll have another topper, please.
29:46Absolutely. Anybody else want anything?
29:49No, thank you.
29:51So, are you going to be sloping off again
29:53or are you here for good this time?
29:55Er, I didn't want to miss this.
29:58We were just saying, all credit to you
30:00for dropping everything again about somebody.
30:03And not a rich client either.
30:05Well, there are a lot of vulnerable people out there
30:08and they need our help.
30:10Well, I'll drink to that.
30:12Well, yeah, so will I.
30:14Chin-chin.
30:16Are you annoyed at me for organising this behind your back?
30:19Is it too much?
30:20No. No, don't be daft.
30:23It's fine.
30:25OK.
30:39You all right?
30:42Dropped the charges. I've been released.
30:45Try and stay out of trouble.
30:47I'd never normally walk out of a shop without paying.
30:50I don't know why I was so stupid.
31:00I just feel like everything's going wrong.
31:03My brother's dying.
31:06We're getting evicted.
31:08The boiler's on its last legs and now this.
31:11Mr Ruskin hasn't lost anything.
31:13He got his shoes back.
31:16He was proper furious, though, when he'd gone picking his son up.
31:20I don't understand why he's dropped the charges.
31:23Well, he should think himself lucky he doesn't have to steal.
31:26Anyway, rich people don't always play by the rules either.
31:29How do you mean?
31:31He has no right to look down on you.
31:33Is he on the fiddle?
31:35I can't say any more.
31:38Well, that makes me feel loads better.
31:40See, him should be locked up, not me.
31:42Obviously, we have to deal with offences we actually see.
31:47You're a weird cop, are you?
31:50It's like you're on my side.
31:52And I saw you talking to my mum the other day.
31:56Well, the courts are jam-packed with people like you.
32:00Craig mentioned earlier that you guys were struggling.
32:07Did you have something to do with him dropping the charges?
32:12You've either gone out of your way for me,
32:14I just don't understand why.
32:30I mean, I'm glad that you did, but I don't get why.
32:34That's what you do for...
32:36For what?
32:39That's what you do for people who deserve a break.
32:43You know, we can be sensitive in how we enforce the law.
32:48Thanks.
32:51I'd better get back to my kids.
32:54And anyway, what good would it do to your family if you was in prison?
32:59So you did put the pressure on them?
33:01I asked them to show a bit of compassion.
33:05Dad's been trying to get hold of me.
33:07This is my mum.
33:08Hiya.
33:09Yeah, they let me off.
33:11I'm just talking to one of the coppers now.
33:13I mean, you'd better get on with it.
33:15I don't know what you're talking about.
33:17I don't know what you're talking about.
33:19I don't know what you're talking about.
33:21I'm just talking to one of the coppers now.
33:23I'll ring you back. Bye.
33:25My mum wanted to know what's happened.
33:27She's dead relieved.
33:28Chairs will be and all.
33:30Sounds a bit lively.
33:32Yeah.
33:33Hey, why don't you come in for a drink?
33:35Say thank you.
33:36Come on.
33:47Oh.
33:49You stole my keys and broke into my house.
33:51Can you hold it at my?
33:52Oh, you can have your keys back anyway cos they don't work.
33:54I've changed the locks.
33:56That is so petty.
33:58Dad's portrait was hanging in that dining room.
34:00It's like consecrated ground, a mausoleum.
34:03How dare you vandalise it?
34:04I didn't vandalise it.
34:06I just want your stuff out.
34:08You're evicting me from my house.
34:10You had no intention of doing right by Dad.
34:14You were just stringing me along.
34:17But with a simple solution, yeah?
34:19You get the business, I get the house.
34:22Oh, oh, and the rest of your things are going into storage,
34:25which I expect you to pay for.
34:27But this stuff to me, it's like the contents of Tutankhamun's tomb.
34:31He was so proud of this award.
34:34I just want it out and I want to deep clean my house.
34:37Hey, um, what's that?
34:40It's one of Dad's.
34:42It's called a creme.
34:44Like a Grammy.
34:45Why do they do that stuff?
34:46Well, they do if you're at the top of your profession, yeah.
34:48Only our Glenda here, she wants it all shipped out to a car boot sale.
34:51OK, well, they're going mad in there. They won't serve him.
34:53I'll be there in a sec.
34:54Hey, hey, we're done.
34:56What, hang on, you two had another row?
34:58She stole me keys and broke into me house.
35:00Then she took a load of me stuff and just dumped it round her island.
35:03Come on, that's a bit drastic, Glenda.
35:05Serves him right.
35:06Oh, grow up, Glenda.
35:08Oh, I like Glenda.
35:11Look, I know you feel hard done by it, but stealing his keys,
35:14Well, I think it's a masterstroke.
35:16No, I think it's a low blow.
35:18I'd better get back to work.
35:20Yeah, we'll talk later, once you deal with those baying punters.
35:28So you're explaining the shop owner decided not to take it any further.
35:32Oh, that's decent of him, innit?
35:34Yeah, it's great news.
35:36And thanks for your help. It won't happen again.
35:39I know the difference between right and wrong, even the kids.
35:41We drum it into them.
35:43Yeah.
35:45Nice truck.
35:47Yeah, he's mad on lorries.
35:49I hope you've got a heavy goods licence.
35:52You have to sign.
35:54Oh, yeah.
35:56Sorry.
36:00Can I try it?
36:02Yeah.
36:08Otherwise, I'm gonna have to arrest you.
36:14I need one for one of these.
36:17That copper seems nice.
36:20Kids are taking to him and all.
36:26Is that another one?
36:28Actually, Addy's asked me if I want to go to a gig tonight.
36:31Oh, well, go on, then. I'll be all right.
36:34Really?
36:35Yeah.
36:36See ya.
36:38You all right, building old mates?
36:41Well, I'm saving myself for tomorrow, aren't I?
36:43Oh, we're going as well. I'm very excited.
36:45I love Tommy Hope.
36:47I once thought that was your cup of tea.
36:49Yeah, well, it's not. It's that you have a donkey more like.
36:51That's how he ended up playing.
36:53No, I've got something better to do.
36:55My Amy has organised a surprise birthday party.
36:58Oh, I didn't know.
37:00Yeah, Tim gave it away, you know.
37:02He said he had an appointment to go to, but I'm his best mate.
37:05I know when he's lying.
37:07Yeah, I think so.
37:10Are you all set for this surprise party tomorrow?
37:14Party?
37:16I don't know about a party.
37:18Me neither.
37:19Very good.
37:23Anyway, I was just going to say, I think it'll do Abby good.
37:26A couple of days off work.
37:27A break from everything is what she needs.
37:30Yeah, but she'll love seeing the twins.
37:32I got the impression she couldn't get away quick enough.
37:35Who can blame her?
37:39So I have to pick a silly snack and feed it to the weasel?
37:43Right, yeah.
37:45Come and wash your hands and then you can have a snack.
37:47You as well, Cleo.
37:49Go and go with Daddy.
37:51Come back for the other two.
37:54I still can't believe what you did for us.
37:56Well, you got your hands full.
37:58I can see that.
38:03Oh, it's my dad again.
38:05I'll have to take this.
38:08Hi, Dad.
38:13When?
38:25Well, she was fine this morning.
38:26See you now.
38:30Yeah.
38:31Yeah, I'll be there now.
38:34Is everything all right?
38:39Our mum's just died.
38:43She had a stroke. It came out of nowhere.
38:47Oh, I'm so sorry.
38:51I need to go.
38:52Yeah, of course. I'm sorry, man.
38:54We are having a party!
38:59It's the asterisks.
39:03Bye.
39:09Hey.
39:11Hey.
39:14I'm guessing you're here for that chat.
39:16Yeah, we can talk later if you're busy.
39:19No, no, it's fine. It's fine.
39:21OK.
39:23Well, you know, I was on your side when you and your brother fell out.
39:28And I tried to support you, but...
39:32I feel like you crossed a line.
39:35I see.
39:36Yeah. I mean, you can't take your brother's house.
39:38That's completely out of order.
39:40And I don't feel like I can go out with someone who's capable of doing something like that.
39:45Well, that's a...
39:47That's a bit drastic.
39:50I've been through enough drama with my family this year.
39:54OK, glory needs stability.
39:57I've had people I care about abuse my trust in the past,
40:01and I don't want to be in that same position where that happens again.
40:04Right?
40:07But, look, I don't want to...
40:09I don't want to lose your friendship.
40:13Well, I have to do what I see fit to stop my brother from walking all over me.
40:20If that's the way you feel, there's nothing I can do.
40:32It's more like it.
40:37Etsy?
40:38Why haven't you been answering my calls?
40:41You in trouble again?
40:42No.
40:43Why do you always think the worst of me?
40:45Where have you found money for chips?
40:47My mate paid for them.
40:49Get in the car.
40:50No.
40:51Get in the car. We're going home.
40:56I'm sorry.
40:58We're going home.
41:12Kit.
41:13Kit.
41:15Kit.
41:18I just wanted to say I'm sorry about your mum.
41:23If you ever want to talk to anyone...
41:26You can't just switch it up when it suits you.
41:32I should have been with her today.
41:35Then I got caught up helping your dodgy family.
41:39Trying to get Gemma off a shoplifting charge.
41:42Yeah, well, thank you for that.
41:45I couldn't face it if she'd have gone to prison.
41:49It was a bit of a shock seeing you two together,
41:52imagining what could have been.
41:56I believe my mum loved this guy.
42:00But the one who abandoned me is still very much alive.
42:03And I will regret what I did till the day I die,
42:05but that doesn't mean we can't be a family in the future.
42:09Your brother's not got long.
42:12I need to go.
42:26Bernie, wait.
42:31I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoke to you that way.
42:35I don't want to be angry any more.
42:39Today's made me realise that...
42:42life's too short.
42:44And I want to get to know my brother and sister.
42:48I want them to know who I am.
42:51I'd love that.
42:53Let's tell the twins tomorrow.
