00:00The brown leather travel bag, the one with the straps.
00:29What about it?
00:30Where is it?
00:32What do you want the brown leather travel bag for?
00:34Well, how do you know if I'm going to be coming back here tonight?
00:36You what?
00:37Look, if I'm going to be stuck in Holloway, I at least need a clean pair of knickers.
00:41For the last time, you are pleading not guilty.
00:47Which means the trial won't be for weeks.
00:49There is no way you're going to Holloway.
00:52Yes, but what if something goes wrong?
00:54What can possibly go wrong?
00:57Forget about the travel bag.
00:59While you're at it, you can forget all about this suit and make-up as well.
01:03I've just spent the last half an hour getting ready.
01:05You look like a hard-nosed businesswoman.
01:08You're supposed to be the impressed wife.
01:11Take it off.
01:13And a bit of blusher.
01:16And a floral dress I brought you in my lab.
01:20Excuse me one moment, will you?
01:23Matthew!
01:26What do you think you're doing?
01:28You told me you were going to go to school this morning.
01:30Oh, happy birthday, Matthew.
01:31You are not getting a stall.
01:33Birthday or no birthday. Now off you go.
01:35It's all right, I'm going.
01:36But they're going to want to know where I've been.
01:37So?
01:38Well, when you've been, I feel, they need to know.
01:41Not a word of this to your mother tonight, all right?
01:44So what have you got me then?
01:45None of your business.
01:46Because if you're stuck, I wouldn't say no to a car.
01:48Behave yourself.
01:49You'll get your present tonight at the restaurant.
01:51And it's a smart place, so no jeans.
01:53It's not that same place you took me last time, is it?
01:55It's a very good restaurant.
01:56Dad, I know you're desperate to join the middle classes,
01:58but it's those waiters.
01:59They always know.
02:00Well, the same thing goes for your girlfriend,
02:02whatever her name is.
02:03Oh, she can't come now.
02:04What?
02:05It's not my fault.
02:06Her dad's dragging her off somewhere.
02:07She doesn't want to go.
02:09I'll go and write that note for you.
02:17Bianca!
02:18I ain't acting. You play nice, so you get to get in.
02:20Who said anything about acting?
02:21I ain't doing it.
02:22Costumes.
02:23What?
02:24Designed by Bianca Butcher.
02:27My professional name's Bianca Jackson.
02:29Bianca Jackson, then, of Bianca Jackson Fashions,
02:31Bridge Street Market.
02:32Me and the Vicar are forming a committee.
02:34Do you want to be on it?
02:35It's got to be good publicity.
02:36What do you say?
02:37Er, full breakfast, please, Pat.
02:39Right.
02:40Where's Kat?
02:41Well, Cindy's in court this morning,
02:42and as Ian's lost his nanny, she's taking Stephen to school.
02:45Has he lost his nanny?
02:46Ask her yourself, if you like.
02:48I'm not that interested.
02:50Right, I'll call her at the flat.
02:51She'll be here.
02:52Why, what's up?
02:53He's getting asshole about the Reba on the Granada.
02:55He wants it ready by lunchtime,
02:56and there's them two M.O.T. failures I've got to be counting on.
02:58Well, that's what he wanted, innit?
03:00What sort of whistle?
03:01You're on your own today, Ricky.
03:02Got a bit of business in these scenes, so...
03:04Is this a wind-up?
03:05No, you'll manage.
03:06I'll be over at this table, Pat.
03:08And then I said to him,
03:09do you want my fist around the back of your throat?
03:11Nobody talks to my daughter like that.
03:13He didn't need to go that far, Dad.
03:15I tell you, if his little boy hadn't stuck his head round the door,
03:17I'd have done it as well.
03:18He had it coming.
03:20Pass the sugar, will you?
03:23Here you go.
03:25In the past, I've found he responds well
03:27to having his head shoved down the bog.
03:30Your what?
03:31Ian Beale.
03:33Just a suggestion.
03:41You nervous?
03:43No, I don't know why.
03:44Won't be you going to prison.
03:45Sleep all right?
03:48Come on, keep your grains in.
03:50Come on, quick as you can.
03:51Look, I tell you what,
03:52why don't I have the kids stay over at my place tonight?
03:54That way you can have a good rest, get over it all.
03:56You're not serious about her going to prison?
03:58Oh, for goodness sake, Ian, you're not going to soften her again.
04:00No, of course not, it's...
04:03What am I going to say to the kids if she does?
04:05Well, last night you were convinced she was going to get off.
04:07What am I going to say to them?
04:09Well, they're going to be upset.
04:11We'll just have to explain it all and be there for them.
04:22Well, it's a great start to the day, that is.
04:24I hope he's pleased with himself.
04:25Who?
04:26Your vicar friend.
04:27Well, he'd better make the most of it,
04:28because once his court case is out of the way,
04:29he's not going to know what's hitting.
04:34Passing with friends and influenced people.
04:36I thought you'd be all in favour.
04:37I am.
04:38This is politics, son.
04:39And you haven't got the first idea.
04:41So what would you have done then?
04:42History teacher.
04:43Oh, I'm not an electory master's, and please...
04:45You never get anywhere without the masses on your side.
04:49And history teaches us
04:50that the masses would rather be in the pub or watching telly.
04:53Don't blame me when it all goes horribly wrong.
04:55Go to work.
04:57Good news.
04:58Really?
04:59I didn't think there was such a thing.
05:00Bianca's agreed to be on the committee and do the costumes.
05:03Smash it.
05:04Well, you could look a bit more pleased about it.
05:06No, that's excellent, Nigel. Well done.
05:08I'm just on my way round to Ian Beale's.
05:10He's a really good organiser.
05:11I thought we could try and rope him in.
05:12Well, I don't think that's a good idea.
05:14Why not?
05:15Well, you can try,
05:16but I don't think I'm Ian's favourite person at the moment.
05:18Oh, right, yeah, of course.
05:20I'll keep asking around, then, shall I?
05:22I would if I was you.
05:27Come on, you lot, I'm waiting.
05:31Morning.
05:33Morning.
05:39All right?
05:40Glad to see we've both made the effort.
05:43Always is well to impress one's clients.
05:46Problem?
05:47No problem.
05:48Looking forward to it?
05:50Bit nerved up.
05:51That's what you and I have got in common.
05:53Both get off on danger.
05:55And, short being a nuclear test pilot,
05:57I reckon it's as good as it gets.
05:59Don't you?
06:00I don't know how an impostor's going to feel,
06:02cos you frightened the life out of me.
06:03Isn't that the whole idea?
06:05You got the cash?
06:06Have you?
06:08Right, let's go.
06:12Why are you looking at me like that?
06:13Why do you think?
06:14Why do you think?
06:16Bye, Sal.
06:24What's so funny?
06:26Don't rise to it.
06:27It's probably entirely for your benefit.
06:29And is that Cindy's brief with him?
06:31Yes, I've come across Mr Hawthorne once or twice before.
06:34And?
06:35All teeth and no trousers.
06:36No-one has a higher opinion of him than himself.
06:39Where's he going?
06:40To put his frock on.
06:42Morning.
06:43Morning.
06:44Who's that?
06:45Robert Dayton, prosecuting counsel.
06:47He's in Arsac.
06:48Actually, I might just try and catch a quick word.
06:52Robert.
06:59Cindy's been told by her brief not to speak to you,
07:02so she's asked me.
07:03She wants to know how the children are
07:05after yesterday afternoon's fiasco.
07:07They're fine.
07:08How's her nanny?
07:10Get lost.
07:11What kind of a guy brings his lawyer with him on a day like this?
07:14I mean, how much must it be costing you, eh?
07:17You're a vindictive little git, aren't you?
07:19It's going to be heart-breaking
07:21when it turns out to be money down the drain.
07:23Just clear off, will you?
07:24You heard what my client said.
07:31Don't get involved.
07:33Who is the Dayton at the site?
07:35Apparently Hawthorne has already dropped off the questionnaire with the judge.
07:38And that's where Cindy says how she's going to plead, is it?
07:40Right.
07:41What's she going to be? Guilty?
07:43If she's got any sense at all.
07:46So, bye-bye Aunt Sal.
07:48What, she's gone already?
07:50I never realised I'd only just got.
07:51Don't worry, I did the business for you.
07:53I said you needed your rest.
07:54You're being very nice to me at the moment.
07:56What, have you got a problem with that?
07:58No.
07:59At least we're out of the way out and get off the sofa now.
08:01What's this you're reading?
08:02Oh, nothing.
08:03I'm just going to go and have a shower.
08:09Just curious, really.
08:11But what's my client's husband doing here?
08:14I'd have thought it was obvious.
08:16Yes.
08:17But with his solicitor.
08:19His prerogative.
08:21Just makes one wonder who you're taking your orders from.
08:24The CPS or Ian Beale?
08:27Ah.
08:28Robing room tactics.
08:30I beg your pardon?
08:32It won't work.
08:33Funny, I never put you and lost causes together, Summer.
08:37And you're absolutely right not to do so, Bob.
08:39The judge would like to see you both in his room right away.
08:54Morning, campers.
08:56Phil, Annie, this is Geordie and Cyril.
08:59They're going to show you the ropes.
09:01Cyril.
09:02That's a nice name, mate.
09:04I believe you've got something for me.
09:06There you go.
09:07No need to count it.
09:09Trust is for wimps, if you're good enough, Geordie.
09:12Now, normally when one purchases a business,
09:14you get the fixtures and fittings along with the good will.
09:17In this case, there are no fixtures and fittings and there's only ill will.
09:20But you knew that already, didn't you?
09:22When you're ready, driver, I'll show you the way.
09:26Could someone please explain precisely what's going on here?
09:29Sorry, judge?
09:31Well, first of all, we've got a not guilty plea,
09:33yet without any defence case to speak of.
09:36And now I've got this abuse of process thrown at me at the last minute.
09:39Who's going to enlighten me?
09:41Abuse of process?
09:42Mr Hawthorne?
09:44It's our contention that this prosecution is being pursued
09:47because of private and personal malice.
09:49We believe it's only got this far
09:51because of the pressure my client's husband brought to bear upon the CPS
09:55in his somewhat unseemly desire for revenge.
09:58Mr Dayton?
10:00With respect, my friend, that has the unwholesome whiff of red herring.
10:05Well, I've read the papers
10:07and I must say I do wonder why this case is being brought.
10:10Is it really worthwhile and necessary
10:12to have a criminal trial against this background?
10:14Can we not sort something out?
10:16What are you suggesting, judge?
10:18This is a domestic issue.
10:20We have to balance the national interest
10:22against the harm it might do the children.
10:24I'm saying all this without forming any view
10:27about the abuse of process issue.
10:29With great respect,
10:30the prosecution case is made out clearly in the papers.
10:33Look, I'm being perfectly even-handed.
10:35The same applies to your client.
10:37Does she really want to put herself and her children through this?
10:41The facts of the case are barely disputed.
10:43We could move to sentence quickly,
10:45save everyone a great deal of time and trouble,
10:47not to mention expense.
10:49I accept entirely what you say, judge,
10:51regarding the stress a trial would impose upon the children.
10:54But by the same token,
10:55it won't help the children if the mother is sent to jail.
10:58Would you be prepared to give an indication of sentence?
11:02OK, here's one for you.
11:041964 Cup final.
11:06Preston North End, half-time,
11:08and we're all ready to slit our throats.
11:11Final score, 3-2 to us.
11:14But who scored the winning goal in the last minutes?
11:17You don't know, do you?
11:19Ronnie Boyce.
11:22Excuse me one moment.
11:26Hello, Costas.
11:27I'm so sick of you guys.
11:29The business is changing hands.
11:30You're going to get to know these two pretty well.
11:32A woman?
11:33I'll be careful if I were you.
11:34Let's try and be pleasant about it, shall we?
11:36You know I got my window kicked in last week.
11:38Where were you guys?
11:39What am I paying you for?
11:41You'll get more than your window kicked in if you carry on like that.
11:43I moved out of the West End to get away from gorillas like you.
11:46Why don't you just shut him out and do what a man says, eh?
11:58Remember the faces?
12:00You'll be seeing them again next month.
12:02Nice doing business with you, Costas.
12:04And it was Ronnie Boyce, wasn't it?
12:07Happy Hammers.
12:15What's going on?
12:16We should have started ages ago.
12:18A delay like this usually only means one thing.
12:20What?
12:21Backstage manoeuvres.
12:22What kind of manoeuvres?
12:24I've no idea.
12:25All rise.
12:34The Crown against Cindy Bale.
12:38Mr Dayton, Mr Hawthorne.
12:41It's no secret I asked to see you both in my room.
12:44Have you both had the opportunity to consider your respective positions?
12:48Your Honour, I'm afraid I'll need more time with the prosecution team.
12:52My instructions remain the same, Your Honour.
12:54But, of course, if my learned friend needs more time...
12:56Quite so, quite so.
12:58And your client, Mr Hawthorne,
13:00may want to give some more thought to the very good advice I'm sure you're giving her.
13:08What does that mean?
13:09This case will be adjourned until 10.30 tomorrow morning.
13:13What?
13:14All rise.
13:16I'll, um, see if I can get a word in.
13:19All rise.
13:21I'll, um, see if I can find out what's going on.
13:29Do you know anything about this?
13:30Do you think I'd tell you if I did?
13:40Not bad for two minutes' work, eh?
13:42Here you go, all yours.
13:44How was it for you, as the Bishop said to the actress?
13:47No problem.
13:48I think Philippa's got the general idea.
13:50Good. Well, let's move on to the next one, shall we?
13:57I've had a word with the prosecution, but they're not very forthcoming.
14:00So?
14:01This could go one of two ways.
14:03The bad news is the CPS are thinking of dropping the case.
14:06What?
14:07They feel they're being lent on by the judge.
14:09They don't think he's at all key.
14:11And?
14:12I think they're dithering.
14:13They've got to be seen to be keeping their distance from you at the moment.
14:16And your feelings can't be seen to be influencing their decision.
14:19But, on the other hand, unofficially...
14:22I can.
14:23I think they'll try and take your feelings into account.
14:25In that case, I want to carry on.
14:27You sure about that?
14:28Definitely.
14:35What's the good news?
14:37Word is that Cindy's going to plead not guilty.
14:39Why is that good news?
14:41Because it means it will definitely give it a try.
14:43And with no real defence, she's looking at a long stretch.
14:46Really?
14:47Really.
14:48I need to guess what you're thinking about.
14:50He'd be a mother, eh?
14:51Never stops, does it, from the day they're born.
14:53And then I go and have another one.
14:54I must be barmy.
14:55Never mind.
14:56You'll have a chance to take your mind off it for a bit tonight.
14:58What's that?
14:59Dance match.
15:00What's that?
15:01I told Ian I'd have the kids for him.
15:03I'm sorry, Pat, I just thought he'd need a rest.
15:05Oh, well, this is looking bad.
15:06You know Annie's pulled out the team, don't you?
15:08Really?
15:09Well, she was never exactly committed, Lan.
15:10Don't worry.
15:11I'll find somebody.
15:12Yes, Ian?
15:13Hello, Pat. How's Roy doing?
15:14Oh, he's getting there, thanks.
15:15What can I get you?
15:16A cup of coffee, please.
15:17And some advice.
15:19Don't have any kids.
15:21It's too late for that, I'm afraid.
15:22Well, don't have any more.
15:23No, I'm serious.
15:24Will I get Matthew for his birthday?
15:26Well, what have you been thinking of?
15:28Well, I can't make up my mind between a thick ear or a kick up the backside.
15:31He's all right, isn't he?
15:33One of us. Coffee's on the house, mate.
15:36Can I have a tea to take away, please?
15:38Now there's a man with the right idea.
15:40No kids, not even married.
15:41You keep it that way, Vicar, eh, Kath?
15:45Peggy says, can you get a move on?
15:48Did you hear me?
15:50When did you get this?
15:52At the open day.
15:53What open day?
15:55I went to an open day.
15:56When?
15:57The other week.
15:58Why didn't you say?
15:59Well, why do you think?
16:00So, are you serious?
16:01No, I just like looking at the pictures.
16:03Well, it says there that you can do part-time courses.
16:05Yeah.
16:06So?
16:07Someone's got into you.
16:09Well, are you going to do it?
16:11It would mean having to take time off of work.
16:13I'm sure we could sort something out.
16:15First of all, you persuaded Peggy to let me do the books and now this.
16:17What's all this about?
16:18Why? Does it have to be about anything?
16:20It's going to cost a bit of money.
16:21Well, I could put it as an investment.
16:23Oh, so I can apply then, can I?
16:24If that's what you want.
16:28Wow.
16:29It's a sad morning, eh?
16:31I feel hot.
16:32It's the middle of January.
16:34I know it is.
16:35But I still feel hot. Don't you?
16:38Yeah.
16:39I feel hot too.
16:41I need to do something.
16:43What am I going to do with all this excess energy?
16:46I don't know.
16:47You tell me.
16:49Do you feel guilty?
16:51Guilt's for wimps.
16:53I feel guilty.
16:54Really?
16:55I quite like it.
16:57Why's that?
16:58Even when I was a little girl,
17:00doing something really wicked gave me a buzz.
17:02Now, what did you do as a little girl that was really wicked?
17:05Now, that I'd be telling.
17:07No, what we did this morning weren't that bad.
17:09If we didn't do it, someone else would.
17:11Don't try and justify yourself.
17:13That spoils it.
17:14It was wicked.
17:15Let's just accept it.
17:17Come here.
17:19No.
17:20Come here.
17:22No.
17:23You come here.
17:29Are you really as frightening as you pretend to be?
17:32Are you?
17:38I've always fancied you, you know.
17:40Really?
17:42Really.
17:43How much?
17:45A lot.
17:46An awful lot?
17:48An awful lot.
17:52That's a shame.
17:54I'm not into relationships.
17:57Who said anything about relationships?
17:59I like my sex uncomplicated.
18:02I'm not into relationships.
18:04I'm not into relationships.
18:06I like my sex uncomplicated.
18:08Well, it is a coincidence.
18:10We're business partners, Phil.
18:12How could this not be complicated?
18:14Feels like it already is.
18:16If you were still living with your wife...
18:18Eh?
18:19...that would have a certain danger to it.
18:21But this isn't dangerous.
18:23It's just silly.
18:25So you don't fancy me, then?
18:26I didn't say that.
18:28Now, are we going to count this money?
18:30I don't like being made to feel an idiot.
18:33Well, just not now.
18:35It's January, Phil.
18:37Christmas is a long way off.
18:39You'll just have to learn to wait.
18:47Adjourned?
18:48Till 10.30 tomorrow morning.
18:49The good news is she's decided to plead not guilty.
18:51Why's that good news?
18:52Means it'll go to a jury trial.
18:53My brief reckons she's mad.
18:54She's almost certain to go down.
18:55So why's she doing it?
18:56It's Nick.
18:57I don't know why I let him freak me out like that.
18:59The guys are nutter.
19:00Oh, Ian.
19:01I'm going to pick the twins up from Sarah.
19:02Look, the offer's still on for tonight.
19:03You're going to need a decent night's sleep.
19:05For the first time in ages, I think I'll get one.
19:15Excuse me.
19:17Oh, for God's sake, grow up.
19:21All right?
19:23Yes, thanks.
19:29Have a drink and unwind.
19:31I can't.
19:33We've bought the best.
19:34Hawthorne knows exactly what he's doing, so relax.
19:37You try standing in that dock.
19:38It's not the nicest place to be, you know.
19:40Go and pat your nose or something.
19:41Hey.
19:42Go on, I want to make a phone call.
19:43I'm not stopping you.
19:44In private.
19:45What's going on?
19:46Sooner or later, you're going to have to learn to trust me.
19:49Now, off you go.
19:53Have a tonic water, please, ma'am.
19:54Hang on, I'm just having a pad.
19:56Anyway, we're probably not able to make it.
19:57We're stuck.
19:58Well, it's too late to cancel now.
19:59What's that?
20:00Kathy can't make the dance match tonight.
20:02Well, can't she get a babysitter?
20:03No, she's looking after Ian's kids and all, so there's no way round it.
20:06Well, you just have to play with her,
20:07and hope the other team don't kick up too much of a fuss about it.
20:10A tonic water, was it?
20:12Yeah, please.
20:13What's this business you've been up to this morning?
20:15What's Ricky been to?
20:16Bet you dumped him, innit?
20:17It's just something I had to do, that's all.
20:18Why does it always have to be a secret with you?
20:20I'm not in the mood, Mum, all right?
20:24I phoned about the calls.
20:25And?
20:26There's one starting next week.
20:27What's in?
20:28Body massage.
20:29Men or women?
20:30I don't know yet.
20:31Well, it's all right, I trust you.
20:33Go on.
20:34Did you move your stuff back into the spare room?
20:36Yeah, why?
20:37You can move it back out of there again, if you like.
20:39It's nearly having that double-biddle to myself.
20:41Yeah, well, I think I've learnt my lesson.
20:43I'm assuming you have, am I right to?
20:44Boy, am I the only one working round here?
20:47Yes, ma'am.
20:48Dick, as soon as you're ready, love.
20:50Oh, certainly, madam.
20:51What are you looking so pleased about?
20:52I'm allowed to smile, you know.
20:55Where the hell have you been?
20:56Well, that's no way to speak to a birthday boy, is it?
20:58I've been waiting for you.
20:59I've been at a library.
21:00Don't give me that.
21:01Believe what you like.
21:02You knew perfectly well what time we were leaving.
21:04Aren't I supposed to dress up posh for this thing?
21:06There's been a change of plan.
21:07Your mother doesn't feel up to the restaurant,
21:09so we're going to her place and get the takeaway.
21:11What's the matter with her?
21:12I think we'd all like to know the answer to that one.
21:14So where's my present been?
21:16Don't push your luck.
21:19Oh, sorry.
21:21Don't push your luck.
21:24Oh.
21:25Can I come in?
21:26Well, it's a bit difficult.
21:27I've just given the kids their bath.
21:28Yeah, well, that's just it.
21:29I just heard from Pat that you're missing your darts match.
21:32I'll babysit you, won't I?
21:33What's brought this on?
21:34I think I owe you one.
21:36Well, more than one.
21:38And I'd like to spend some more time with Ben.
21:40That'd be a good chance.
21:43Please?
21:45Come in.
21:47It ain't God you should be fanging.
21:49He didn't cook it.
21:51Clearly.
21:53What's eating you?
21:54Is it another spiritual crisis?
21:56Pack it in. I'm not in the mood.
21:58Oi.
21:59What happened to honouring your father and mother?
22:01Oh, of course, that's Old Testament, isn't it?
22:03You can't have conveniently forgotten that.
22:05When you get out of it,
22:06I hate this constant attempt to undermine me.
22:08It's the best I can do in the absence of any decent conversation.
22:10Of course, we've been here before.
22:12I remember when you was 15 and there was that girl.
22:14What was her name?
22:15Jennifer Patterson.
22:17You dithered and dithered
22:19and she ended up going out with your best mate.
22:21Now, that was the moody to end all moodies.
22:24Now, where are you going?
22:26To get some fresh air.
22:27It was 15 years ago, you pillock.
22:29Don't tell me you're still upset about it.
22:32Well, hey, handsome.
22:33Now I know where I get from.
22:35What's that?
22:36Style and good taste.
22:38What do you think, Michael?
22:40Very nice.
22:41So what did you get him?
22:44A cheque.
22:45Very imaginative.
22:46Know why I got him a cheque?
22:48Because anything else I'd have got him was bound to be wrong.
22:51But now even a cheque is wrong.
22:52So what's the point?
22:53Cheques are fine.
22:54Cheques are always fine.
22:56Well, if no-one else is going to say anything,
22:58perhaps it's time I made my announcement.
23:00I'm sorry.
23:01I'm sorry.
23:02I'm sorry.
23:03I'm sorry.
23:04I'm sorry.
23:05I'm sorry.
23:06I'm sorry.
23:07I'm sorry.
23:08I'm sorry.
23:09I'm sorry.
23:10I'm sorry.
23:11I'm sorry.
23:12It's time I made my announcement.
23:14Maybe I should rebuy the door for this one
23:15in case I need to make a quick getaway.
23:17Why?
23:18I'm packing in school.
23:20You what?
23:21I always said I'd never follow in Dad's footsteps,
23:23but I've done it now.
23:24And I like it, and the money's great,
23:26so there we go.
23:28What a good idea, Matthew.
23:29We're so pleased you're saying such initiative.
23:31Was this your idea?
23:33First I've heard of it.
23:34Oh, come on, Dad.
23:35You knew it was coming.
23:36I've been on that stall all week.
23:38He spun me some yarn about the heating
23:40having packed up at school.
23:41When I found out, I put a stop to it.
23:42I only went in today to tell him I was leaving.
23:44I spent the rest of the day in the library
23:46boning up on tax and National Insurance and whatnot.
23:48Matthew.
23:49Don't try and talk me out of it.
23:50Go and do the dishes.
23:52It's my birthday.
23:53Go and do the dishes.
24:02Well?
24:06I wish you'd sit down and relax.
24:09I wish you'd tell me what's going on.
24:11Now, what might be going on?
24:14I don't know, but you're keeping a secret from me,
24:16and I don't like it.
24:18It turns out you're about to be put out of your misery.
24:25Thanks very much.
24:31Nick, what the...?
24:35It's got to be a little bit better than pizza.
24:37A little bit better than pizza, don't you reckon?
24:39I'll just go and get some knives and forks.
24:43Oh, I get it.
24:44I made him do it, did I?
24:46Well, none of this started till he met up with you again.
24:48Oh, come off it, Susan.
24:49He's been giving us aggravation since he was three years old.
24:51Do you know how much it took to persuade him
24:53to go back to school in the first place?
24:55He spends three weeks with you, and look what happens.
24:57Why is it, no matter what it is,
24:59that everything somehow ends up being my fault?
25:07Yeah.
25:34Yeah?
25:35I was after Kathy.
25:36Nick playing darts.
25:38I'm babysitting.
25:39I can catch her over there if you want.
25:41No, it doesn't matter.
25:43Any message?
25:44It's just about a community play.
25:46Nothing urgent. I can wait.
25:47I'll tell you a call, then, shall I?
25:49Really, it doesn't matter.
25:50Thanks anyway.
25:59That's where one makes for.
26:03Has somebody got their mind on the job tonight?
26:05Oh, I'm sorry, Pat.
26:06All this stuff with Ian and everything.
26:08I just can't concentrate.
26:09Sure, that's all it is.
26:10That's enough, isn't it?
26:11Do you want another one?
26:12No, I'm all right.
26:13And then my dad said to Ian,
26:14do you want this fist down the back of your throat?
26:16No-one talks to my daughter like that.
26:18What's Ian say?
26:19Nothing. He was that scared.
26:22What?
26:23I hope you have kids one day.
26:24Why's that?
26:25You'll find out.
26:36Age?
26:38You lose.
26:39What was the word, then?
26:43Here you go.
26:44Your turn to think of a word.
26:47Do you want some more brandy?
26:49Why not?
26:50Since it's my last night of freedom.
26:53For the last time,
26:54there is nothing to worry about.
26:56The judge is on our side.
26:57I can't wait to see his face, you know.
27:00What, the judge is?
27:01Ian's, you idiot.
27:02Do you know what?
27:04I feel sorry for him.
27:05Don't start.
27:06No, I don't.
27:07He's always tried so hard to be somebody.
27:10He's just pathetic.
27:11Chip shop king of Walford gets a battering.
27:17Cheers.
27:18To us and the kids.
27:19To the future.
