00:00♪
00:31Morning.
00:41I'll make some fresh tea.
00:43Have you been up long?
00:45About an hour.
00:49Still not sleeping?
00:51I'm just a bit restless, that's all.
00:53I'll get you some tea.
00:56Still not sleeping?
00:57I'm just a bit restless, that's all.
01:01It's all this business with you and Lenny.
01:03I'm sick of hassling them for the rent.
01:05Well, I'll go and see them if you want.
01:07It's OK, I'll deal with it.
01:09Mark, look, all this worrying's not going to do any good, is it?
01:14I mean, this tea sale count, they might have made a mistake.
01:17But if they haven't?
01:19Well, it doesn't necessarily mean they're going to put you on the treatment straight away.
01:23Anyway, these new drugs they're talking about, I mean, they sound really positive.
01:28Maybe you're looking at this the wrong way.
01:30And maybe you don't know what you're talking about.
01:34Simon, how long are you going to be?
01:36As quick as I can, I promise.
01:37Right.
01:38This is ridiculous.
01:40I have to go all the way to the swimming pool just to get a shower.
01:42Oh, come on, do us good. We can both do it with the exercise.
01:45I don't want exercise, I want my bathroom back.
01:47I mean, what's Lenny's problem?
01:49I told you, I flooded their place.
01:51You did. I didn't.
01:55Hi, Michael.
01:56You look the business.
01:58Yeah, I'm off to the council later.
02:02I get their decision today.
02:04Oh, come on, you'll be all right.
02:06Oh, you think so, eh?
02:07Yeah.
02:08Listen, maybe I shouldn't have pushed you on the second stall, but we had to shift the gear, didn't we?
02:13Oh, come on, take notice of those lot. They don't know what they're talking about.
02:16Yeah, but it's not that simple.
02:18If the council feel I've been in breach of contract, then that's it. I'm out.
02:22They're lost, ain't they?
02:26Well, I'm in charge. We'll do things my way. Understood?
02:35He said it better himself.
02:42I won't be long.
02:45Here, these eggs ain't done.
02:47You're lying to me.
02:48Yeah, but I'm the customer, and I'm not out.
02:52There's no smoking in here, man, or can't you read?
02:56Hi, Mick.
02:58I didn't have to strike it in.
03:00I'll be with you in a sec.
03:07You're up early.
03:08Yeah, I thought I'd come and see you getting on. Are you all right?
03:11Yeah, Kathy's taking the day off. Her baby's got a bit of a cold.
03:15Do you need any help? I've got half an hour.
03:17No, I'm OK. Apart from Ben.
03:20Feeding time at the zoo, is it?
03:22Yeah. Should have brought my trumpet along. That would have shut them up.
03:27Listen, if they're still here in an hour, I'll give you a shout.
03:30See you later.
03:35Yes, mate. Sorry to keep you up.
03:37And you're to be on your best behaviour.
03:39Are you listening to me?
03:41Yes.
03:42Right, well, I don't want you messing up again.
03:44And if you get any more trouble from that gang, go and tell someone.
03:47Hey, are you off then, Martin?
03:49Yeah, I suppose so.
03:51Well, good luck.
03:52Look, I know it's not going to be easy, but remember what I said, eh?
03:56You've just got to be strong.
03:58Yeah, and you come straight home after school, right?
04:04Well, it's up to him now, isn't it?
04:12Hello, Grievick.
04:14Oh, hi, Lorraine.
04:16Look, I'm really sorry to have let you down over the weekend.
04:20Well, did you manage OK?
04:23Oh, I'm really glad of it.
04:26The thing is, I'm still feeling a bit under the weather.
04:31Are you sure?
04:33Well, listen, I'll be back in a day or two.
04:36Course, love. I've got Tiffany, haven't I?
04:39It's really not a problem.
04:41You take off as long as you need, all right?
04:45No point in you rushing back before you're ready, is there?
04:48Take care now. Bye.
04:51Well, it looks as if it's just you, me and Grant again.
04:55Well, I think we'll manage.
05:01Look at this mess.
05:02Sorry, I'll clean it up, I promise.
05:03The place is like a tip!
05:05You caught us at a bad time.
05:06The thing is, we've been so busy working that we've got a bit canned on the old housework.
05:10Yeah, and the rent.
05:11We haven't forgotten, honest.
05:13No? So why is it late? Again?
05:15I'm getting sick of this.
05:17You think I've got nothing better to do than come around chasing you two up all the time?
05:20Look, we're really sorry.
05:21It's just that we're a bit strapped for cash at the moment,
05:23what with Alan and Frankie both moving out.
05:25How much you got?
05:26Twenty.
05:27That'll do to be getting on with.
05:29It'll have to do, won't it?
05:30Well, we'll give you the rest by the end of the week.
05:32Yeah, well, you better.
05:33You get that car back, eh?
05:34You understand me?
05:35Right, right.
05:41What's got into him all of a sudden?
05:43I don't know, but he was in one hell of a mood.
05:47So what are we going to do about the money?
05:49We could go and see George.
05:51George? The mood isn't.
05:52I'd die if we've got any jobs anymore.
05:54We're going to have to do something.
05:57Do you want a coffee?
05:58Yeah, cheers.
06:02You should be at the Vic by now, shouldn't you?
06:04I'm not going in.
06:06Why's that?
06:07I thought we could spend the day together.
06:09You're not feeling well or something?
06:11Yeah, I'm fine.
06:12I just feel it's more important for me to be with you right now.
06:15Yeah, but I can look after myself. I'm fine, honestly.
06:18I know.
06:19I just really miss having you around, that's all.
06:23Yeah, I know.
06:24Listen, after we've been to the hospital,
06:27maybe we can drop in on Nigel, get a video for this evening.
06:30What do you think?
06:31Yeah, if you want.
06:33Maybe you could invite him over for dinner.
06:36Maybe you could invite Grant round as well.
06:39No, love. Not tonight.
06:42Well, he's working.
06:45Maybe another night, then?
06:47Yeah, yeah.
06:54Thanks for dropping by. She's been a bit low lately.
06:56Oh, yeah? What is it this time?
06:58Her eyes. She thinks she's losing her sight.
07:02I've told her. Use tea bags.
07:04Tea bags?
07:05Yeah, my old mum used to swear by them.
07:07They put them on your eyes in the morning. Works wonders.
07:09Oh, I'll have to remember that one.
07:15Hello, Paulie.
07:17What a lovely surprise.
07:19So, how are you doing, then?
07:20Oh, it's me sight.
07:23Gets worse by the hour, don't it, Nigel?
07:25Yeah, I'd better be off. I'm late already.
07:27Well, I'll be in later on.
07:28No, don't worry yourself.
07:30Look, I might be suffering, but I promised I'd help you out,
07:33and you know me. I ain't one to go back on me word.
07:35No, look, why don't you take a day off?
07:37You know, relax a bit. It'll do you good.
07:39Well, if you insist.
07:41You sure you can manage on your own?
07:43I'll try my best.
07:44Right, see you later, ladies.
07:46Right.
07:47I'm not interrupting anything, am I?
07:49No, of course not.
07:50Oh, well, you seemed busy when I came in.
07:52No, I wasn't.
07:53Well, what's that you just hid under the newspaper?
07:55Oh, that.
07:58I was dropping a line to my Nick.
08:01I thought I'd go and visit him.
08:02What, in Scotland?
08:04How's that little lad of his, Ashley?
08:06He ain't seen him.
08:07But I thought you said they all moved up there together.
08:09Yes, well, things didn't turn out too well in the end, Pauline.
08:13Well, you do surprise me.
08:15The truth is, I don't know where Zoe and Ashley are.
08:19Me own little grandson.
08:21Where's Nick?
08:23He's inside.
08:25Oh, doll.
08:26Not again.
08:27Yes, I know.
08:29Well, I thought I'd like to see his face one last time,
08:32just so I could remember it.
08:34You could forget it.
08:36He is my son, Pauline.
08:38Look, doll, right now Nick's the last person you need.
08:41You should leave him where he belongs, under lock and key.
08:44Yes, but I might not get another chance.
08:46You've got to stop this, doll.
08:48There's nothing wrong with you.
08:49You just need to go and see a good optician, that's all.
08:51No, I'm afraid it's more serious than that.
08:54Do you think they'll give me a dog?
08:57Do you think they'll give me a dog?
08:59What do you mean?
09:00One of them Labradors.
09:02I don't like them black ones.
09:04I'd much prefer a nice golden one.
09:06Well, it's hardly going to make any difference, is it?
09:08I mean, you're not going to be able to see it.
09:17I'd better go up.
09:19I'll go if you like.
09:20She might need changing.
09:21Don't you worry, I'll see to her.
09:23You sure?
09:24Yeah, of course.
09:26What's up with his lawsuit, then?
09:27I don't know, but it's been like this all weekend.
09:30Well, I'll go and see to Courtney, shall I?
09:32All right.
09:40Need any help?
09:42No, I'm fine.
09:44I thought I might take Courtney to the party this afternoon
09:46and I wondered if you'd like to come with us.
09:48I'm busy.
09:50Actually, there is something you could do.
09:51You could unload this lot for us.
09:53I'll be back later.
09:55You're going out?
09:56Yeah.
09:57Have you got a problem with that?
09:58No, of course not.
10:04Do you lot want anything else?
10:06What's it got to do with you?
10:08There are no tables left.
10:09If you're not ordering, would you please leave?
10:11We go when we're ready.
10:13No.
10:14You go now.
10:16You'd think you people would have learned your place by now,
10:18wouldn't you?
10:20You're looking for a table?
10:21Yeah.
10:22Because these boys are just leaving.
10:24Aren't you?
10:45Guys, I've come looking for you.
10:46Well, I'm here now.
10:47Do you fancy a coffee?
10:48Yeah.
10:50Don't get me wrong.
10:51I love having Dr Ran.
10:52But I hate to think of her having to pay for anything.
10:54It's just we're missing the extra cash.
10:56Lenny, any idea when this new club's opening up?
10:59Only me and Nigel were wondering about the 70s nights.
11:01Don't know.
11:02I'm trying to find out myself.
11:04What's going on?
11:09What are you doing?
11:10What the hell do you think you're doing?
11:12What the hell do you think you're doing?
11:19Move it.
11:20Mate.
11:24You deaf or what?
11:31Listen, forget it, mate.
11:33It's not worth it, believe me.
11:35Can't get busy till next time.
11:36Next time?
11:37You won't get away with it.
11:40I bet your gran loves seeing you again.
11:42Yeah, she sparked me writing.
11:44Well, that's what we're for, isn't it?
11:46Listen, love, I'll give you a shout when you have to leave.
11:48All right, cheers, Mum.
11:49There you go.
11:50Oh, Tom.
11:53He seems so much better, Lorraine.
11:55Yeah, he is.
11:56They've put him on a new drug and it seems to be making a difference.
11:59Fingers crossed it lasts.
12:01They think he's going to make a complete recovery, then?
12:04He's fine now.
12:05As long as he keeps taking his medication, he should remain stable.
12:08You mean things could get worse again?
12:11We just have to wait.
12:13I mean, some do make a full recovery, but some...
12:17Well, they just have to learn to live with it.
12:20Oh, love, I had no idea.
12:22At this stage, we just have to take each day as it comes.
12:25Joe's so young.
12:27He's got his whole life ahead of him.
12:29I know.
12:30It's a lot for him to deal with.
12:33What about you? How are you coping?
12:35To be honest with you, Pat,
12:37I'm only just getting my head round what this illness really means.
12:41For both of us.
12:44All right? Cheers.
12:46You OK?
12:47Yeah, course I am.
12:49So, how's Lorraine?
12:52She's fine.
12:53Last time I saw her.
12:57She finished it.
12:59I'm sorry.
13:00So am I.
13:02Well, maybe she's got enough on her plate right now.
13:05What do you mean?
13:07Well, all that stuff with Joe, it can't be easy to cope with, can it?
13:11Well, you've got your own family to think about right now.
13:13No, you've got it all wrong.
13:14She just wants to be alone with Joe, that's all.
13:16And what about Tiff?
13:17Well, what about her?
13:19Look, Grant, I know it ain't been easy between you two, but...
13:22Well, she's still your wife, innit?
13:24It's got to be great having Courtney around.
13:26Yeah, it is, but that ain't the point.
13:27Ain't it?
13:28Look, OK, so you didn't get off to a good start, but...
13:31well, it's got to be worth making a go of, innit?
13:34Well, you've changed your tune, innit?
13:36How do you mean?
13:37Come on, bruv, you never liked Tiffany.
13:39Yeah, well, things are different now, innit?
13:40Are they?
13:42Look, Grant, you both love that baby.
13:44And if I've learnt anything, it's that a kid needs both parents.
13:48Lorraine's right.
13:50We've got to let her go.
13:55Hey, so you're back in business again, are you?
13:57Looks like it.
13:58Nice one, mate.
13:59Yeah, yeah, I start back again tomorrow.
14:00Hey, what did I tell you?
14:02Hey, listen, I want to say I'm sorry, right?
14:04I should never have got you involved.
14:05Forget it.
14:06I offered, didn't I?
14:07Anyway, it's not like I did make a bob or two out of it.
14:10So, um, are you going to tell her or shall I?
14:13LAUGHS
14:30Come on, Joe, your appointments are half past.
14:32Yeah, Mum, coming.
14:34PHONE RINGS
14:37PHONE RINGS
14:40Sorry, we're not in, but do leave a message and we'll get back to you.
14:44Lorraine?
14:46Lorraine?
14:47Look, it's Grant.
14:48Are you there?
14:49I really need to speak to you.
14:51Call me.
14:53Please.
14:55PHONE RINGS
14:56Mum?
14:57Who was that?
14:58Er, no-one, love.
15:00A wrong number.
15:01A wrong number?
15:05Went on to the landlord again this morning.
15:07He's trying to get hold of a second-hand boiler.
15:09I mean, it could be weeks.
15:11Anyway, you don't seem too bothered.
15:13Mind you, you're not the one who chafes him down to the swimming pool every morning
15:16just to get a hot shower.
15:17Yeah, well, I thought he was using a human lens.
15:19We've been banned.
15:21Banned?
15:22Yeah, Tony flooded the bathroom.
15:25I'm glad you find it so amusing.
15:27There you go. On the air.
15:29Thanks.
15:32DOOR OPENS
15:35You all right?
15:39Four first-class tax, please.
15:43Um, is that...?
15:47Hang on. No, don't matter.
16:02George?
16:03Can I have a word?
16:05About what happened?
16:07Look, I'm sorry, I had no idea what Tony was up to.
16:10It won't happen again.
16:12Yeah, well, it better not.
16:14It won't, I swear.
16:15Well, I'm prepared to overlook it this time.
16:17But if you mess up again...
16:19I won't, I promise.
16:22Look, was there anything else?
16:24I was wondering about the new place.
16:27Well, we're still on for the job, aren't we?
16:29I suppose you've no idea when?
16:31Can't tell you. Haven't been given a definite date.
16:33The problem is, the cash flow's getting a little bit...
16:35Look, Lenny, I've told you how things stand.
16:37Now, you've already been given a retainer.
16:39Can't be fairer than that.
16:44Hiya.
16:45We need to talk.
16:46Annie, I have to go.
16:47Look, I didn't fly all the way from New Zealand
16:49just to be bored stiff in Apprentice all day.
16:51I'm worth more than that, and you know it.
16:53So, why did you come back?
16:55Business was practically running itself.
16:57Business was practically running itself.
16:59I told you, it's time to move on.
17:01And I thought you could do with a hand.
17:03You think I'm losing my touch?
17:05Course not.
17:06We'll talk later.
17:07I'll see you in here at, say, six?
17:09Is that a promise?
17:10Annie...
17:22You not hungry?
17:24Not really, no.
17:26Look, I'm really sorry about this morning.
17:30Just forget it.
17:32How can I? You're still upset.
17:36Mark, maybe we should just sit tight
17:38and wait for the next test results.
17:41See what Dr Green says.
17:43Whatever he says, it's up to me, not him.
17:45And I don't have any say in this.
17:47Mark...
17:48I've just gone to the loo, all right?
17:52Hey, Ruth, have you heard? Michael's back.
17:54Really?
17:55Yeah, the counsellor cleared him.
17:56I'm so relieved.
17:57Another day of that temporary inspector,
17:59I think we'd have all packed up for good.
18:01Ruth, are you all right?
18:03What's up?
18:05Listen, no hearing.
18:07Could you come to my place in a bit?
18:09Yeah, sure.
18:10Thanks.
18:12How's that lovely little baby of yours?
18:15She's great, Doc. Putting on weight all the time.
18:17Oh, it's an exciting time, isn't it?
18:19Watching all the new little things they do.
18:21First smile, first few steps.
18:24Shane?
18:25Aye?
18:26Well, at the time she's walking,
18:28I won't be able to see her no more, will I?
18:31I'm afraid so.
18:33I'm afraid so.
18:35I'm afraid so.
18:37I'm afraid so.
18:39I won't be able to see her no more, will I?
18:42It's me eyes.
18:44They look all right to me.
18:46You don't know nothing about it.
18:48Nobody understands what I'm going through.
18:53Small tip, never cross Dot.
18:55And if she says she's ill, believe her.
18:58Right.
18:59What are you two gossiping about, eh?
19:01Nothing.
19:05What about your dad's shed?
19:06It's easy to put a computer in there.
19:08Look, just leave me out of it, all right?
19:10What's the matter with you anyway?
19:11It's only a stupid community centre.
19:13Ruth works there, doesn't she?
19:15Even better. You must know Lelea.
19:17No, I don't.
19:18Are you sure about that?
19:20I think you're lying.
19:22You've been sworn in.
19:24You're one of us now.
19:25Remember?
19:31But he still feels well in himself, doesn't he?
19:33Well, yeah, at the moment.
19:37Who knows?
19:40The thing is, they're saying such good things about these new drugs,
19:43but Mark just doesn't seem to want to believe it.
19:47But if they help, why not?
19:50I don't know, Geeta.
19:53I suppose he's scared.
19:55Oh, it must be so difficult for you.
19:59I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to Sanjay.
20:02At least I've got Sharmilla.
20:05We'll settle the rest tomorrow.
20:09Yeah?
20:17What's your game?
20:18Keep your hair on.
20:29I just want something else for us both.
20:31You're talking about children, aren't you?
20:34Have you ever thought about adoption?
20:36Well, we did look into it,
20:38but they've got such strict guidelines.
20:41I mean, there's no way they're ever going to let me and Mark adopt,
20:43not in the situation we're in.
20:45OK, what about fostering?
20:47Fostering?
20:48Yeah, why not?
20:49Apparently they're much more open-minded about things.
20:51But I thought it was just a short-term thing.
20:54Not always.
20:55Really?
20:56Yeah.
20:57But you should at least consider it.
20:59I mean, there are so many kids out there desperate for a good home.
21:02Just think how happy you and Mark could make a little child,
21:05with all that love and support you've got to give.
21:09Yeah.
21:11Maybe.
21:13Hiya.
21:14You brought this in just in case?
21:16Oh, you got rid of them then?
21:18Yeah, eventually.
21:19Shame, I would have sorted them for you.
21:21Do you want some tea?
21:22Yeah, Tom.
21:24Problem is, they've got no focus in lives, have they?
21:26Who?
21:27Those louts.
21:28They've got no ambition, nothing to strive for.
21:31Now, if they all had one of these...
21:32Then they'd stay out of trouble, yeah?
21:33Yeah, exactly.
21:35Do you want a piece?
21:36You made it?
21:37Mm-hm.
21:38I want to see how it sells.
21:39Is there no end to your talents?
21:40There's saxophone and cake-making.
21:42That's about it, I think.
21:47Mm, delicious.
21:49We could do tea dances in here.
21:50What do you think?
21:51Well, I'll serve an odem, and you can make the cake.
21:54Go down the stall.
21:56You've got the licence, so when's it opening?
21:58I'm still waiting for the go-ahead, aren't I?
21:59Yeah, but the go-ahead for what?
22:01How do you mean?
22:02Don't insult me.
22:03You know exactly what I'm talking about.
22:06I can't get away with a thing while you're around, can I?
22:08We used to trust one another.
22:10And nothing's changed.
22:11OK, so tell me.
22:13Look, as soon as things are operational...
22:15You'll need a manager.
22:16A good one.
22:17One that'll keep the journalists away.
22:21Well?
22:26OK.
22:33Oh, Martin, come on, eat up.
22:35You've hardly touched your dinner.
22:37Don't want any.
22:38Eat it.
22:42I said, eat it!
22:46Mum, Grant said this is really good.
22:48Grant?
22:49Yeah.
22:50It's a shame he's working tonight, isn't it?
22:55Yeah.
23:03Mum, the farm's unlocked.
23:05Is it?
23:06Yeah.
23:16Mum, are you OK?
23:18Yeah, of course.
23:20You seem really quiet, that's all.
23:22No, I'm fine, really.
23:24They seemed quite pleased today, didn't they?
23:26Yeah.
23:27They did.
23:28Perhaps we won't be too long before I can stop going, eh?
23:30Oh, well, let's hope so, eh?
23:36Want to get that, Mum?
23:49Hello?
23:51Mum, hiya.
23:53Yeah, we're both really well, thanks.
23:59What's going on, Nigel?
24:00Sky's busy, isn't he?
24:01Look, we need to know where we stand.
24:03I mean, if George doesn't want us, then we're going to have to tout around somewhere else, won't we?
24:06You talking about this new club?
24:08Yeah, why, do you know anything?
24:09Yeah, a bit.
24:10Yeah, we were wondering about our seventies nights.
24:12Oh, well, hold your breath, mate.
24:13Oh, yeah? And what would you know about it?
24:15Oh, nothing.
24:17Um, just rumors, that's all.
24:20So, um, what do you know about it?
24:22Only that I'll be working the bar when it opens, if it does.
24:25But George will still want us, won't he?
24:27Dunno. It's a private joint. More of a drinking den than a disco.
24:35Look, Martin, stop it. Just stop playing with your food.
24:38Can I go now?
24:40What is your problem?
24:41Dunno what you mean.
24:42You've hardly said a word since you got back from school.
24:44What's there to say?
24:45For starters, you can explain what you were doing hanging around with that gang again.
24:49Dunno what you're talking about.
24:50Don't give me that. Grant saw you.
24:52He had a go at me for you lot scaring his dog.
24:54Martin, I thought we'd agreed.
24:56It's not true. I weren't anywhere near them.
24:57Sit down. Sit down!
25:01Now, you listen to me.
25:03If you get yourself in trouble again, you know you've had it, don't you?
25:06What do you mean?
25:07Like I say.
25:08Now, if you're lucky, very lucky, you might, just might, get off lightly with that robbery.
25:13But you get caught again, well, that's it.
25:16They're gonna throw away the key.
25:18Mark, don't.
25:19Well, why not?
25:20The sooner he knows the mess he's in, the better, Mum.
25:23Are you listening to me?
25:26Come here.
25:27Come here!
25:29What did you go and do that for?
25:31Because he's gotta be told, Mum.
25:33Oh, forget it. Just forget it.
25:39What do you think you're doing?
25:41That kid needs you right now. Instead, you have a go at him.
25:44Just leave him.
25:45No, I won't.
25:46How dare you do this to him?
25:48Do you think you're the only one with problems?
25:50Well, Martin's got himself into a mess, and he's got to get himself out,
25:54but he won't if you don't try to help him!
25:56What do you think I've been trying to do? He just chucks it back in me face!
25:59Well, he takes after his brother, then, doesn't he?
26:01I don't need this.
26:02Look, Mark, please, talk to me.
26:06How can I help if you won't let me?
26:08Because this is about me, not you.
26:11And however much we talk, it isn't gonna go away.
26:14I start those drugs, it'll be with me every day for the rest of my life.
26:17Yeah, that's right.
26:20So what else can you do but face up to it?
