00:00Leela can't find out about it, right? I start work tomorrow, I'm gonna be drug-tested.
00:03Obviously, I'm gonna fail. So, I need you to help me cheat it.
00:07I'm here on behalf of James. He's asked me to deliver these to you.
00:13See? They're divorce papers.
00:17Do you really think that I would leak a video of you, my girlfriend, on the internet, like that, for the whole world to see?
00:27No one will ever see that video, as long as we're together.
00:32Now, go and get your stuff, and come back home.
00:55I guess I just lost my heart, I guess I just lost my mind.
00:58I guess I just lost my heart, I guess I just lost my mind.
01:01I guess I just lost my heart, I guess I just lost my mind.
01:04I guess I just lost my heart, I guess I just lost my mind.
01:07I guess I just lost my heart, I guess I just lost my mind.
01:10I guess I just lost my heart, I guess I just lost my mind.
01:13I guess I just lost my heart, I guess I just lost my mind.
01:16I guess I just lost my heart, I guess I just lost my mind.
01:19I guess I just lost my heart, I guess I just lost my mind.
01:22Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, I guess I just lost my heart.
01:25I'll sign the divorce papers, on one condition.
01:29I'm not gonna pay his rent.
01:31I got a brand new attitude, and I'm gonna wear it tonight.
01:35I wanna get in trouble, I wanna start a fight.
01:39Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, I wanna start a fight.
01:43Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, I wanna start a fight.
01:46You need to speak to Cleo.
01:47I'm still a rockstar, I got my rock moves.
01:51And I need you, and guess what?
01:55I'm having more fun.
01:57I'm here with Buster's doctor, so what?
01:59I wanna walk you at night.
02:03It's not a negotiation, Steve.
02:05You cheated on me, in the rancid toilet of a courtroom.
02:09And now I'm ending our marriage.
02:11Now don't act like this is your first rodeo.
02:14You've basically divorced every gay in the village.
02:16You're still taking painkillers?
02:18Have you been to see a doctor yet?
02:20They diagnosed it.
02:22As the after effects of being married to an irritating northern chap.
02:26Just sign the papers.
02:28Then we can both go our separate ways,
02:30and you'll be free to have all the bathroom liaisons your heart desires.
02:33This is not just another work contract, you know.
02:37You actually became a dad to my kids.
02:40James, I thought me and you, we were gonna grow old together.
02:43Don't be so dramatic.
02:45What is your condition for signing?
02:48Don't worry, I'm not gonna try and change your mind.
02:51I just want us to spend the day together,
02:54so we can say goodbye to each other properly,
02:57and end our marriage on a nice note.
03:00That's it.
03:02I promise.
03:04By the end of the day, I will sign these papers.
03:09Deal?
03:12I mean, yeah, I'm sure we had an argument,
03:14but Cleo came back so we could squash it.
03:16I understand this, it's just that she changed her mind really quickly.
03:19Hi.
03:21Hey, there she is.
03:23I just came to check you were OK.
03:25You said you were popping back here to get a bag, and you never returned.
03:28Yeah, well, we're all good now, aren't we?
03:30It made me realise that I'm not gonna throw everything away we've got over to Rita.
03:34So, yeah, it's all good.
03:36Cool. Yeah, see ya.
03:42You know I'd never want to actually leak that sex video of you, right?
03:46I know. You're just trying to make me see sense.
03:51So, why don't we make a start on baby-making?
03:54Yeah? Get in the shower?
03:56I'll just clean up your protein shake. Don't know why you always spill it everywhere.
03:59Ah, you love looking after me.
04:01See you in there.
04:12Wait, are you trying to delete that video?
04:15Were you paying me for a mug?
04:20Look, I'm not asking you for your right kidney,
04:22it's just a bit of weed to help me pass my drug test.
04:24You need to go on the sick and get some proper help.
04:27Cos if I were in a burning building, I wouldn't want you coming to save me off your face.
04:31I'm not. It's called tapering off.
04:33No-one says, I need this job.
04:35Kate's gonna help me focus, help me get off it for good.
04:38Please.
04:41Well, back again, are ya?
04:43Start charging you rent?
04:45Just, er, talking a bit with Dad's legal options, that's all, eh?
04:49Right. Nearly ready for work?
04:52Yeah.
04:55MUSIC PLAYS
05:09Just nipping to upload.
05:15Do you realise what you're threatening is illegal?
05:18Sorry, are you gonna call the police on me?
05:20Try me, see what happens.
05:22Good that you didn't upload it yourself.
05:24Little Miss Attention Seeker.
05:26First you beat me, and now this.
05:29Abe, if you put that video on the internet without my consent,
05:32that is sexual abuse.
05:34Like, do you really seriously want to put me through that again?
05:38Sorry, are you comparing me to Pete?
05:40You filmed me without me knowing about it!
05:43Like, and now you're threatening to put it on the internet
05:46where people can watch it again and again and save it and download it.
05:50That is like being abused!
05:52Cleo, for once in your life, can you stop playing the victim?
05:55Please!
05:56Ask yourself, what is it about you that brings out the worst in people?
05:59Why, why are you so ugly under the surface?
06:05No, you are ugly, Abe.
06:07Inside and out.
06:11I don't want this any more.
06:14Fine. Is that your answer, then? I'll post it.
06:17And seeing as you're being such a little bitch about things,
06:19I'll make sure your co-workers, your friends, your family all get sent a little link
06:23so they can see you having the time of your life with that filthy prostitute.
06:27Fine.
06:29If that's the price that I have to pay to leave you, then fine.
06:34You know what? My family will be there for me, and they will still love me.
06:39There. Posted.
06:43Cleo, did you think I was bluffing?
06:45See, that's what happens when you push me too far.
06:48Now you're going to have to deal with the consequences.
07:16Seriously? The hoodie from our wedding day?
07:18It was my stag do hoodie first.
07:20Thought I'd dig it out for old time's sake.
07:24Don't worry. I'm not trying to change your mind.
07:26Or guilt you.
07:29You know, I have many regrets.
07:32Almost destroying my life with gambling.
07:35Resorting to violence on occasion.
07:39But wearing that hoodie on my wedding day is definitely top of the list.
07:43It was an amazing day, though, wasn't it?
07:45Yeah.
07:46Yeah, my favourite part was when Juliet collapsed into my arms
07:49and told everyone she was dying of cancer.
07:58So, how long are we going to take this little trip down memory lane
08:03before you sign the divorce papers?
08:05Go on. Keep pestering.
08:08And today won't be a nice day, will it?
08:11The wine's repellent.
08:15Do you really think that you should be drinking?
08:18You don't think I'm suicidal, still, do you?
08:21You have no idea what's going on.
08:26I'm going to drink as much as I like.
08:32In fact...
08:33Everyone!
08:34You are hereby invited to my impromptu divorce party.
08:39Yeah, we're all friends here, aren't we?
08:41Including you, manicure lady.
08:43Been called worse.
08:44And you, Sienna's uncle.
08:46Her father, actually.
08:48Well, we're going to need to unpack that.
08:50This is not what you need, James.
08:51No, no, this is my day, too,
08:52and I want everyone to come back to mine
08:54and day-drink my very expensive wine.
08:58This is my day, too,
08:59and I want everyone to come back to mine
09:01and day-drink my very expensive liquor cabinet dry.
09:05Huh? Who's in?
09:07Woo!
09:16Hey.
09:18You believe that I've only got, like, a few shifts left?
09:20Yeah.
09:21Yeah.
09:22It's the thing about summer jobs, though, innit?
09:25They don't last forever.
09:26But then at least I'm going on my Spanish vacay
09:28with Scott and Freya.
09:29Ooh.
09:30You going to miss me?
09:32You know what? I will.
09:34Who else is going to break my glasses every two minutes?
09:37Can't help it if I get distracted.
09:43Hey.
09:44I'm going to go sort the store in.
09:49Can I borrow some of your float, please?
09:51My roses are flying out. I don't have enough change.
09:53Yes, you can.
09:55Also,
09:56check you.
09:57Another successful business.
09:59I might be Alan Sugar of Chester.
10:02Compliment game's still strong, I see.
10:06So, you, um...
10:07you have Donny Clark's daughter working here now?
10:11Yeah.
10:12Yeah, I mean, she's a...
10:13she's a good laugh, so...
10:15Mm.
10:17Sorry.
10:20Well, she's into you,
10:21so just be careful.
10:23That's all I'm saying.
10:28God, I love how posho's party!
10:31This looks nice.
10:33What? Not that one?
10:35Nasty!
10:36Stop being such a bore.
10:38We're celebrating being free of one another.
10:41Isn't it about 300-year-old?
10:43James, it was your mum's.
10:44Oh, well.
10:45No time like a present.
10:47Whey!
10:50Sign the papers.
10:57Here you are.
11:00A dog drink?
11:01Oh, yeah.
11:02All right.
11:03All of them all for me, then.
11:07Listen.
11:09I've got to go.
11:11Listen.
11:13Why don't you just slip away, yeah?
11:15I wouldn't want to be at my ex's divorce party.
11:18I can't.
11:19This is my last chance to prove to James that I want him back.
11:24That's if he doesn't drink himself to death first.
11:34Do you want a hand with the stuff?
11:36Um, I'm not here for cleo's bags.
11:40Look, I'm worried about her mental health.
11:43Like, really worried.
11:46You mean her real house?
11:49It's so much more than her bulimia.
11:52It's like she's a completely different person.
11:55That's not what you said to me this morning.
11:57Yeah.
11:59Yeah, she made me swear not to say anything to you.
12:01She thinks you're way too judgmental.
12:03That you're all just trying to mess with her head
12:05because you can't stand her out living her own life.
12:07She said what?
12:08I mean, it gets so much worse than that.
12:10That's just the start.
12:11You've seen how erratic she is recently.
12:13At home, she's...
12:15She's manipulative.
12:16She's throwing threats at me.
12:18She's purging after every meal and emotionally blackmailing me.
12:21Terrified that I'll leave her.
12:23This doesn't sound like cleo at all.
12:25That's exactly what I've been saying to her.
12:27This is not you.
12:30I just...
12:31I haven't even told you the worst part, john paul.
12:34The minister's cat is an astonishing, brave and cheerful cat.
12:39The minister's cat is an astonishing,
12:42brave, cheerful and...
12:45dangerous cat.
12:46Ooh, OK, right.
12:48Now, the minister's cat is an astonishing,
12:52brave, dangerous...
12:55and exciting cat!
12:57I nailed it.
12:58Come on, Steve, it's your turn.
13:00Come on, Steve, it's your turn.
13:02The minister's cat is an astonishing,
13:05brave...
13:09Steve, come on.
13:11You're the only one who's not drinking.
13:13All you've got to remember is A, B, C, D, E.
13:17Then you put an adjective for the start of the next word, yeah?
13:21He's out next, he's out next.
13:22No, if he wants to stay, he has to play.
13:24Come on, Steve.
13:26The minister's cat is an astonishing,
13:28brave, cheerful, dangerous...
13:31and exciting cat.
13:33And what comes next?
13:34Come on, you can do it.
13:36What comes after E?
13:38I'm starting to think that you're not signing the divorce papers
13:41cos you can't spell your own name.
13:44I'm going to have some vodka, OK?
13:47Ooh, this used to be your tipple, didn't it?
13:50Fancy a little drop for old times' sake, eh?
13:53I know what you're trying to do.
13:55You're trying to push me away, but I'm not going to let you, James.
13:58I love you.
13:59Then let me go!
14:04James? James?
14:08Is he OK?
14:20OK, you ready? This is going to be so good.
14:22It's going to blow you away.
14:25Ooh!
14:26OK, that was so good.
14:28OK, check this out. Ready?
14:30Yeah.
14:31Oh, are you OK?
14:33Yeah.
14:34Good? Yeah? Yeah?
14:36OK.
14:37Well, you know...
14:38Well, I'll miss our 30-second dance parties,
14:41but I won't miss the injuries.
14:43Yeah, that was a lot.
14:44Yeah.
14:45Those are quite boring without them.
14:47You can still do it by yourself, though, right?
14:49That is true, and you won't cramp my style.
14:51Style?
14:52Style? He thinks I have style?
14:54Yeah. OK.
14:56Your ex is, like, a lot today.
14:58Is that normal, or...?
15:00Yeah, no, she just borrowed some change.
15:02I should restock the bar.
15:04No, it's fine. I'll do it.
15:06Mm-hm.
15:08OK, listen, don't start.
15:10It was just a bit of harmless fun between two mates.
15:13I don't think she wants to be mates.
15:15I'm not sure you do, either.
15:17Oh, right.
15:18Not loving the whole jealous ex vibe,
15:20but, you know, first of all, she's too young.
15:22Secondly, she's staff.
15:24Well, it wouldn't be your first lapse in judgment.
15:27Hm.
15:29Well, she's probably not that into me anyway.
15:32All right.
15:36Oh, Ethan.
15:37Come on, it's me.
15:38I was just thinking,
15:39am I really going to leave this job
15:41without you taking me for that drink?
15:46Come on, you're going straight to hospital.
15:48Look, James, people don't just collapse like that for no reason.
15:51Just come in.
15:53How many painkillers have you took today?
15:56Just a couple this morning.
16:04No, no, no, we're not doing tears.
16:06Whatever you're doing this for, you need to stop.
16:11I don't know, it's just because you're scared.
16:14But if that means there's still a chance for me and you,
16:17there's simply still to fight for them, please.
16:20Cos I can't do this without you.
16:24Even the hoodie's telling us what to do.
16:29I knew you wouldn't sign those papers today.
16:33Why do you always have to make everything so difficult?
16:37Cos it's kind of my thing, innit?
16:39Just go home.
16:41Just go home. I'll send everyone else away too.
16:44I'm not leaving you in this state.
16:46I'm fine.
16:50I just need to clear my head.
16:55Why don't...
16:57Why don't you come back tonight?
16:59Not to sleep or anything, just to talk.
17:04Really?
17:08Yeah.
17:09Yeah, I'd love that.
17:13OK, well, then, you just text me when you're ready
17:16and then I'll come back.
17:20Thanks.
17:34Something bad's happened and I don't know what to do.
17:38Abe told me that you slept with an escort.
17:43Cleo.
17:44I know.
17:46I don't know why I did it.
17:48I just lost my mind for a second.
17:50I was upset and he hired him.
17:52I'm not judging you, OK?
17:55I'm just trying to understand.
17:59He also told me that you videoed it
18:03and you threatened to put it online to embarrass him.
18:07What was she thinking?
18:08No.
18:10No, that is not what happened.
18:12I would struggle too with the Teresa situation if I was in your shoes,
18:16but, Cleo, I'm worried about you.
18:18You're behaving in terrible ways and you won't let us help you.
18:22I don't believe this.
18:23But, Cleo, I...
18:31Hey. Wait, what's wrong?
18:33Hey!
18:34Thought I could smell love in the air.
18:36Now, listen, James Nightingale has cut off the champagne supply
18:39because he's a lightweight. Boo!
18:42Anyway, us three, we can party on at the loft, right?
18:45No, I think we're going to have a quiet night in, Mum. Thanks.
18:48Oh.
18:50All right.
18:51Oh, well, in this case, here.
18:54That for the bedroom.
19:01Listen, I didn't upload that video.
19:06What? Who said...?
19:07Yeah, I said that I didn't want to upload it and I still don't.
19:11I wanted to show you something.
19:13You said that your family have always got your back.
19:16Well, I don't know, when push comes to shove,
19:18they seem like they really don't care about you.
19:21Come on, let's go home, yeah?
19:24We'll make you a nice tea, we'll put this all behind us.
19:28Please don't make me post that video, for real.
19:33Yeah?
19:37Yeah.
19:38Eh? You want more wee, you can do one.
19:41No, I just... I wanted to buy a coffee or something, say thank you.
19:45Drug test should be fine.
19:47I had a good day. Saved a ferret from a tree.
19:50Who said all heroes wear capes, eh?
19:52I know, even helping people just in a small way made a huge difference to me.
19:56We'll make sure Leela washes the water bottle out properly, won't you?
19:59Honestly, Mercedes, thank you.
20:02Sticking your neck out for me.
20:04Believing in me.
20:05Believing in me.
20:06Promise I'll never touch your stuff again.
20:08I do believe in you.
20:10Come here, you wet wipe.
20:12Got to believe in yourself, yeah?
20:14Yeah.
20:15Come here. Coffee.
20:17Two sugars, very large.
20:19Go, go, go, go.
20:24Isn't it mad to think that we might have a little one called Emeritus, eh?
20:29Wait, you're not... you're not finished, are you?
20:32Babe, you're going to need all the energy you can get for tonight.
20:35For baby-making.
20:37I'm full.
20:39It was really nice, though.
20:45I have been so forgiven, haven't I?
20:47Letting you come back here, not posting that video.
20:53And yet you still won't eat.
20:56You still won't eat a nutritious meal that I made for you.
21:01Abe, I've had enough.
21:03Babe, I don't think you know what's good for you, OK?
21:08Now, you're not going to get down from this table until you finish this meal.
21:16That's a good girl.
21:19Hey, hey, hey.
21:21Look, I know, I know you're upset with me.
21:24I know this is going to take time.
21:26But I will make you love me again, yeah?
21:41James.
21:48James.
21:51No, you've got it into your thick head.
21:55I don't want you anymore.
22:20James.
22:39Oi.
22:40Yeah?
22:41Well, I thought seeing as you've finished your shift, we can finally share that drink.
22:45Oh, wow.
22:46That's the work and everything.
22:48You really know how to treat a girl, don't you?
22:52Where are you going?
22:54Well, if you want a drink with me, you're going to have to do better than that.
22:57Cheers.
23:16Cheers.
