00:03MUSIC
00:28What are you doing out so early?
00:30Looking for you. We need to talk.
00:33PHONE RINGS
00:39Hello? How are you?
00:43What?
00:45Oh, no, this is all I need.
00:47Yeah?
00:49Listen, I'll be down as soon as I can, yeah?
00:56Where did they find these idiots?
00:58Pipe down.
01:00It's too thick to even know I mean it.
01:02Do you know what they did? First they got the old address wrong.
01:05We're sitting waiting there ringing doorbells two streets away.
01:08Then they get lost. Tried to get here via Hampshire, I think.
01:11Yeah, but I'm supposed to be working.
01:13You can manage, can't you?
01:15What?
01:17I didn't say anything.
01:21There's nothing stopping you keeping the place going,
01:23but if you do, you'll have to apply for a licence.
01:25I want everything legit and above board from now on.
01:27This place, same as the car business.
01:29This is my livelihood. So what's the problem?
01:31You want to go and run in the place, feel free.
01:33Only now it's got to be kosher, OK?
01:35It could take forever to get a licence.
01:37What am I supposed to do till it comes through, if it comes through?
01:40So it'll take a bit of effort.
01:42Ian Beale will swing it for you, if he gets elected.
01:44You think anyone ever handed me a business like this on a plate?
01:47Bet you wouldn't be this high-handed if you were talking to Gianni.
01:49No, you'd treat him with a bit more respect.
01:51What's he got to do with it?
01:53Look, just do it, eh? I can't hang around.
01:55It has to be done, and do it quickly, OK?
01:59Check out, please.
02:01Have it here, and I'll join you.
02:03Oh, where did you get that? I came straight from the train.
02:05So didn't I have anything new to say?
02:07No, nothing. So, where do I go from here?
02:09You eating, Sanjay? No.
02:11You must be hungry. Sit down. Go to do some breakfast.
02:13Oh, cheers. Sanjay, we'll talk later.
02:15I've got to get down to the cash and cashier. All right.
02:17You see, I'm completely out of touch.
02:19I don't know if we're making money, losing money or breaking even.
02:22I'll get the books off of Barry and I'll check them for you.
02:24Put your mind at ease.
02:26Hey, look who's back.
02:28It hasn't been the same down at Bookies without you, old son.
02:30Pick us a winner, then.
02:32How about this one?
02:34Forget it. He's unbeaten the last three times out.
02:36That's outclassed in a race like this.
02:38Well, I reckon him for an each-way bet.
02:40It's up to you, isn't it? It's your money.
02:44Personally, I try to act honourably,
02:46so I tend to forget that other people don't
02:48and that you've got to crack down on them
02:50the very first time they step out of line.
02:52And you've got to do it so hard that they never forget
02:54and they never, ever dare treat you like that again.
02:58This ain't just about collecting from the pub, is it?
03:00Dad walked in this morning like lord of the manor
03:02and told me I've got to close down the gambling club.
03:04Why?
03:06Because he wants to go legit to please your mum.
03:08Oh, right.
03:10And we've all got to suffer.
03:12Apply for a licence if you want to keep it going, he says.
03:14Tell you something, there's no way he'd treat me this disrespectfully
03:16if I was his son.
03:18George thinks the world of you.
03:20Tell you something, if he wasn't my old man,
03:22I'd be seriously thinking of a way to arrange for him
03:24to meet with a little accident.
03:26You think I'm joking?
03:28That's why we've got to settle the score
03:30with this other lot, because this is something
03:32that belongs to you and me, that he can't touch.
03:34So we've got to make it work.
03:36Do you manage to sort out the back-up?
03:38I'm working on it.
03:40It's got to be done tonight.
03:42This mob collect Monday.
03:44I know a couple of blokes.
03:46Nothing quite like the sight of blood
03:48to concentrate the mind.
03:50Yeah, those demonstrator mercs you mentioned earlier,
03:52would you be willing to do a deal on those?
03:54Well, how about this, then?
03:56Obviously, I'll pay you on the ones I sell,
03:58and if I haven't got a shot of the lot within three months,
04:00I'll give you the balance and keep the motors.
04:02I mean, you can't lose, can you?
04:04OK, brilliant. When can you deliver?
04:06No, that sounds fine to me.
04:08I've got to go.
04:10I'll speak to you soon.
04:12Hello. I didn't think you were coming in today.
04:14I've just come to get the books so that Pat can take a look at them.
04:16I need that one. I'll get it to you tomorrow.
04:18They are all up to date, are they?
04:20Well, yeah.
04:22More or less.
04:24Why?
04:26Well, we'll soon see how the landline's done, won't we?
04:28Why me? Why now?
04:30Don't take it personally, mate.
04:32Some of these pipes have been in use since Queen Victoria's Day.
04:34So what's the procedure?
04:36Well, obviously all the food stock has to be thrown out.
04:38Then the premises have to be thoroughly disinfected.
04:40I can give you all the gin on that.
04:42Yeah, thanks.
04:44I've been looking for you.
04:46I've got an idea for the campaign,
04:48but maybe now's not the moment.
04:50Yeah, you could say that.
04:52Good training for the political career, though.
04:54What is?
04:56Spending the day ankle-deep in sewage.
04:58It's not funny, Annie. This could ruin me.
05:00Only if the voters find out. Let's talk later.
05:02What do you mean, no?
05:04Not exactly ambiguous, is it?
05:06You've got to come tonight.
05:08Why?
05:10Because you and Annie have decided that's what I'm doing.
05:12Why risk my neck for something that's all yours?
05:14I don't think so.
05:16Look, Annie really wants to do this.
05:18And there's no-one else she trusts in the same way.
05:20Annie doesn't trust anyone.
05:22Which is why I need you.
05:24For moral support.
05:26Look, we make it work, it won't.
05:28Money's always useful, isn't it?
05:30All right.
05:32Think about it.
05:34You've got until two o'clock to let us know.
05:40When did you get back?
05:42Honestly, mate, you ought to be ashamed.
05:44A good Catholic boy like you, eh?
05:46I still go to confession, don't I?
05:48I bet you don't give the priest the full details.
05:50Forgive me, Father, but I've got these two women
05:52thinking I'm serious when I ain't.
05:54No, I just tell them I'm having an impure thought.
05:56Haven't you any idea?
05:58None at all.
06:00It's not knowing what's the worst. I've been there.
06:02With Sharmilla, that's what gets me the most.
06:04I wonder what she's thinking.
06:06Assuming she's all right.
06:08I mean, I've got to face the fact she might not have been.
06:10What's this Sandra girl like?
06:12Sandra who?
06:14Mattie's girlfriend.
06:16Oh, I haven't actually met her. He seems pretty keen, though.
06:18Mary, what's keeping... Oh, Michael!
06:20Did you know Sanjay's back?
06:22Any news?
06:24Tell him I'll catch him later, all right?
06:26Right. Is Sanjay coming back to work soon?
06:28Well, I was going to ask if you could stay on.
06:30I really don't think he's up to it.
06:32Sure, no problem. Good.
06:34Right, anyway... Hiya.
06:36I fancied some fish and chips tonight.
06:38No way. Not when Nicole's due a visit.
06:40I'm not having her seeing us eat out of paper bags.
06:42That would be a step up for her. She's used to prison food.
06:44All right, so she doesn't ring out the best of me.
06:46Yeah, I noticed.
06:48This is what fostering's all about. I mean, they don't warn us, you know.
06:50Yeah, I know.
06:52Don't go after a kid. Give it back when circumstances change.
06:54It seemed so easy, didn't it?
06:56Well, it might not happen like that,
06:58so why be miserable now?
07:00Why spoil the time I've got with her?
07:02Yeah, and what do you know?
07:04Look, all I said was...
07:06What do you know about what I can or can't do?
07:08What's the point? What do you care?
07:10Well, of course I...
07:12This is a private park. Anyone can join, you know.
07:14It's nothing.
07:16Your mother doesn't want to move into the downstairs front room.
07:18I don't need to be treated like an invalid.
07:20So that can go upstairs, all right?
07:22OK, but where do you want this lot?
07:24Oh, give it to me. I'll take care of it.
07:26It's not always going to be like this, is it?
07:28No, no, no, of course not.
07:30It's just moving out, you know, it makes people snappy.
07:32Big stresses, so they say.
07:34But I'm sure we can all work it out
07:36and live together like civilised people.
07:38Really?
07:40Which means we've all got to start communicating just a little bit more.
07:42Is that right?
07:44It is.
07:46So you can start by telling me all about this Sam driving you so much about, eh?
07:48You know something?
07:50You are a total jerk.
07:52Look, Matthew, all I...
07:54What?
07:56All I did was ask him about this girl he's supposed to be seeing.
07:58Who?
08:00I don't know anything about it, either.
08:02I'll find out.
08:04Now, are you going to just stand there or are you going to help me shift this thing?
08:06That's a total mess. I don't know if I'm coming or going.
08:08Sorry you took it on there, are you?
08:10Not really, no, but it might cost me my marriage, though.
08:12Why?
08:14Ricky's going demented. What, with costumes and fabrics all over the place?
08:16People trapped in their fittings.
08:18He said he'd leave me if he could get the energy.
08:20It's just not fair, is it?
08:22People over kids.
08:24People like Nicole treating their kids like dirt.
08:26Or people like us.
08:28Mark, will you shut up?
08:30You'll let us stop records.
08:32Have you seen my old man?
08:34No.
08:36Damn, I was going to tap him for a fiver.
08:38Ah, it's OK, he's here now.
08:40Are you going to stop me a fiver?
08:42Hey, have you seen Phil?
08:44No.
08:46Excuse me, I asked something.
08:48Come on, sub up.
08:50Where are you off to now?
08:52I've got to find Phil.
08:54I think you'd see enough for a work, wouldn't you?
08:56Guy's straight, so he says.
08:58Well, he's old, isn't he?
09:00Yeah, lost his edge, isn't he?
09:02It's going to take days to sort this out.
09:04This should be my lunchtime, right?
09:06I'm sorry, love, I've got to get back to work.
09:08I'll see you later.
09:10Bye, Kev.
09:12Who's she?
09:14No one.
09:16You look like someone to me.
09:18She's my ex-wife.
09:20I should have said my soon-to-be ex-wife.
09:22I want to watch those little slips, mate.
09:24Cheers, love.
09:26Oh, thanks.
09:28You'll make someone a lovely husband one day.
09:30Don't hold your breath.
09:32I take it it's not serious, then?
09:34What?
09:36This Sandra I keep hearing about.
09:38You do have a girlfriend called Sandra, don't you?
09:40Sort of.
09:42What's that mean?
09:44Nothing, nothing really.
09:46So, are we ever going to meet her?
09:48I doubt it.
09:50Why not?
09:52Who's Sandra?
09:54Well, they're converts from Newcastle.
09:56I thought converts always changed their name.
09:58What's his name? Cat Stevens?
10:00I think this is a different branch of his name.
10:02Oh, I see.
10:06Hello, Gran.
10:08Hello, love. How are you?
10:10I'm all right.
10:12I've just popped in to see how you're all settling in.
10:14It's really nice, isn't it?
10:16But what possessed Michael to accept a place with stairs?
10:18Now, don't you get up, love.
10:20I thought I'd have a little look round now by myself.
10:22Is he all right if I go out?
10:24If you see your father, tell him to get round in.
10:26OK.
10:34I keep looking for signs, you know what I mean?
10:36For example, today I went to the other bookies and put on this accumulator.
10:38And really, I'm saying to the powers that be,
10:40make this lot win and it'll mean I'll find Gita and Sharmilla.
10:42I'm sorry I'm late, pet.
10:44I get held up listening to Ian's woes.
10:46You go off, Gran. I've held you back long enough.
10:48Actually, Kathy, I wanted a word, love.
10:50Oh, sit down, Gordon. I'll bring a cup of tea over.
10:56Mum said you've got to get straight round the house.
10:58I cannot. I am working. I am busy.
11:00Gran's here.
11:02What?
11:04All right. Only for five minutes.
11:06I've still got to check it through properly yet.
11:08I've been doing the books long enough to know
11:10when something's amiss pretty sharpish.
11:12So what am I doing? Tell Roy?
11:14You're going to have to.
11:16Hey, hey, guess what?
11:18Those first two nags of yours have come in, haven't they?
11:20I thought they might. Any tips for the two o'clock?
11:22No.
11:24My diner-girl sweetheart, nice little horse, never puts her foot wrong.
11:26That's brought down last time out.
11:28Yeah, but it wasn't his fault. It's just one of those things.
11:30Call it fate.
11:32You don't need me, do you?
11:34I know I've got something I've got to deal with next door.
11:36Yeah, all right. All right?
11:38Yeah, honey, sweet.
11:40All right. Do this kind of thing often, do you?
11:42Only when we get really bored of our day jobs.
11:44LAUGHTER
11:46OK, so what's the story?
11:48I've got an idea.
11:50Something to give you a higher public profile.
11:52Such as? A minibus.
11:54We hire one for the day, run it three,
11:56ferrying pensioners, mums with kids and so on.
11:58Why?
12:00To draw attention to the cut in local services.
12:02This is going to be above board, isn't it?
12:04I can't be involved in anything illegal.
12:06Do you take me for a complete idiot? Of course it'll be legit.
12:08This is about taking power, Ian.
12:10You do want that, don't you?
12:12So you're saying we can't go in tooled up?
12:14Yeah, that's right. Well, that's really going to work, ain't it?
12:16If I wanted to commit suicide, mate,
12:18I would have done it a long time ago.
12:20So you'd better come up with a better idea than that.
12:22You know what I mean?
12:24Are you out of your mind?
12:26Stairs? Stairs?
12:28What about them?
12:30Oh, they just don't think, do they?
12:32I blame the parent for myself.
12:34You might have a point there.
12:36So you're saying you don't want the job?
12:38Not on those terms.
12:40This ain't a bloodbath.
12:42It's about imposing discipline.
12:44Yeah, what, with a feather duster?
12:46Any mug can intimidate by waving a shooter around
12:48like some strung-out teenage crackhead.
12:50As soon as you're out the door, that's it.
12:52But you cycle them into believing you mean business.
12:54They carry on believing it, even when you ain't around.
12:56Anything else you'd like us to try?
12:58Like walk-on water?
13:00I heard you two had just come out after years in sight.
13:02That you were desperate for a bit of dough.
13:04If you don't want to earn the money, fine.
13:06I'll find someone who does.
13:08Think about it.
13:10Hey.
13:12This is Connor.
13:14He'll be with us tonight if you decide you're up for it.
13:18Well?
13:22OK, we'll try it your way.
13:26I can't leave you to organise everything, can I?
13:28You go and sort your shop out
13:30before you land me with real problems.
13:32Well, it won't be easy to play spin doctor on your behalf
13:34if your chippy causes an outbreak of cholera, will it?
13:38Ah.
13:40For a man who's scaling down his business activities,
13:42you're round here a lot.
13:44I've just been down to the restaurant.
13:46Yeah? Might I know.
13:48Look at this lot.
13:50That Santa's a genius, eh?
13:52I'm lucky if you ask me.
13:54Everyone wants something for nothing these days, don't they?
13:5690 quid a week.
13:58What?
14:00Housing association?
14:02Never.
14:04You'd be better off buying somewhere.
14:06I don't know.
14:08Of course you would.
14:10I checked it out. I managed to think of that.
14:12Well, arithmetic was never your strong point.
14:14No, he is right.
14:16Yeah, for once.
14:18Have you any idea
14:20how much property costs, even around here?
14:22But you've got two wages coming in.
14:24But for how long?
14:28Yeah, and I don't want to be dependent on you either.
14:30Look, I'm really sorry.
14:32If and when the time comes, Michael, I'll get a pension.
14:34Not much, but enough for me and Matthew if we're careful.
14:36Plus I've an endowment that matures in eight years
14:38and life insurance for when I die.
14:40More tea, Gwen?
14:42Yeah, that'd be nice, love, thanks.
14:46Still,
14:4890 quid?
14:50I think I'm going to have to sell my body.
14:52Well, caterers don't come cheap.
14:54Well, you get in, be up,
14:56and give me a special rate.
14:58I should never have offered to help in the first place.
15:00I can just hear what they'd have said if I hadn't.
15:02The Rollison's bar mitzvah,
15:04and it's done on a shoestring.
15:06So what exactly happens?
15:08Well, first there's the ceremony in the synagogue,
15:10and Josh has to read,
15:12and then we have a do afterwards.
15:14You're invited.
15:16Oh, thanks, but I'm not Jewish.
15:18You don't have to be.
15:20This bloke had great success with the women,
15:22but only so long as he made out he was this dangerous criminal on the run.
15:24Said he was wanted for murder or bank robbery or something.
15:26Only showed up at bedtime,
15:28couldn't reveal his address.
15:30I'm not surprised.
15:32No, no, no, listen, it all went pear-shaped because he didn't lie.
15:34He fell in love, poor sod.
15:36Takes this girl home, shows her his nice little suburban house,
15:38garage, stuff grey in the garden,
15:40whoosh, she's down the runner.
15:42Why?
15:44Said he was the most boring man she'd ever met.
15:46There's a moral there somewhere.
15:48Only I don't know what it is.
15:50OK, so things haven't been good,
15:52but it's all part of the normal business cycle.
15:54You get bad patches, you get good patches.
15:56Who around here is going to buy a top-of-the-range Merc?
15:58There's a lot of money-washing about out there.
16:00Prestige car like that makes more financial sense than an old banger.
16:02Well, how long will it take for you to sell them?
16:04And how are you going to pay for them in the meantime?
16:06Pat, stop panicking.
16:08Everything's under control.
16:10Trust me.
16:12Don't be late, yeah?
16:18Nice fellas.
16:20Well, let's face it, it ain't a job for quiet boys, is it?
16:22I was an altar boy once.
16:24Me and my friend Frankie got the sack when the priest caught us in the confessional
16:26with a couple of the girls.
16:28What?
16:30Just riled me to bang on about priests, that's all.
16:32Oh, yeah. Bad luck.
16:34Very.
16:36She's looking well, isn't she?
16:38Yeah, she is.
16:40And you, it's all part of her illness, isn't it?
16:42Find one minute and the next.
16:44Yeah, right.
16:46But I really think it's going to help her a lot, you two being back together.
16:48Mum, we are not...
16:50Because like I say, it was all around the stress of you leaving
16:52and her being left on her own with Matthew
16:54that started it all in the first place.
16:56That is not true.
16:58Isn't it?
17:02Liar, liar.
17:04Your pants on fire.
17:06No, I'm not.
17:08Yeah, you are.
17:10I can tell when you've been stuffing your wee face full of sweeties.
17:12There you are.
17:14You're back early.
17:16Hey, Conor, tell me again about your grandma and the fairies.
17:18Excuse me?
17:20Another time, yeah?
17:22Now.
17:24All right, then.
17:26Well, my granny used to leave out a bowl of milk
17:28every night for the fairies, right?
17:30Go on.
17:32And every morning, every drop of that milk would be gone.
17:34Did she have cats?
17:36Of course she had cats.
17:38She lived on a farm.
17:40But it definitely wasn't the cats that drank the milk.
17:44Can we try that?
17:46Oh, no, not what you've started.
17:48I'm going to put some milk out now.
17:50Here you go.
17:54Well, tonight's the night.
17:56We call.
17:58Oh, right. Well, I won't get in your way.
18:00I'm going out.
18:02So who is she, then?
18:04OK, don't tell Miss Eva, OK?
18:06I've put the milk out,
18:08but nobody's drunk it.
18:10Come on, Jesse, we're not talking to him.
18:12He keeps secrets from us.
18:14And then he says they're Muslim converts from Newcastle.
18:16I don't know how I kept a straight face.
18:18Well, I suppose they could be.
18:20Oh, don't be silly. He's made the whole thing up.
18:22You mean there is no Sandra?
18:24I've put money on it.
18:26Well, that's a bit worrying, isn't it?
18:28What?
18:30I mean, making lies up like that.
18:32I mean, don't think he's got a problem, do you?
18:34No, it's just silly kid stuff.
18:36He just wants people to think he's got a girlfriend.
18:38Well, where is he now?
18:40The place all teenagers go to.
18:42Out.
18:44Oh, yeah, right, right.
18:46Course you wouldn't know about these things, would you, Michael?
18:48So, here we all are, then, eh?
18:50It's quite like the old days.
18:54Relax.
18:56He wouldn't butt that, would he?
18:58Why should he?
19:00Well, he weren't too keen earlier.
19:02That's Connor. Likes to be coaxed.
19:04Really?
19:06It's all that Catholic guilt.
19:08He needs to put the blame on someone else.
19:10Tedious, really, if you ask me.
19:12Though, of course, sometimes it's a good thing
19:14if a bloke takes his time.
19:16Some things shouldn't be rushed into.
19:22I'm going to give Mummy this picture I drew.
19:24That's really lovely, Jess.
19:28Ah, where are you off to?
19:30On our special.
19:32I don't believe him. He's got a red hot dick.
19:34Oh, very nice.
19:36About time you settled down.
19:38See you later.
19:40Yeah.
19:42That here goes a man who knows how to live your life.
19:44Do you have to judge people all the time?
19:48You going to do a picture for me, Jess?
19:50Good girl.
19:52So, how's it going?
19:54Been at each other's throats all day.
19:56Yeah, well, moving can be like that, can't it?
19:58It brought it all back, you know, why we had such a lousy marriage.
20:00So, you're being serious? You're really not going to get back together?
20:02No, it's just for convenience.
20:04Well, isn't that going to be kind of weird, living with someone you don't really love?
20:06Just like the average marriage, I suppose.
20:08You don't know how lucky you are. I'd give anything to have even the bad times back again.
20:10Anything.
20:16Hey, did you get a chance to look at the books?
20:18Yeah, just a quick shofty.
20:20Well, go on then, tell me the words.
20:22What did that doctor say?
20:24Relax, he said. So relax.
20:32No sign of them.
20:36Maybe they're not going to turn up.
20:38You want any more helpful comments?
20:40No, I think that just about covers it.
20:46No, you can't make the word out of that.
20:48What have you got? Oh.
20:56I just stepped in a saucer of milk.
20:58I didn't know you had a cat.
21:00Hi there, how you doing? Did you miss me?
21:02Yeah.
21:04Yeah.
21:18Well, that really happened, didn't it?
21:30It goes.
21:34It goes.
21:38Need any help?
21:40No, it's okay.
21:42You go and keep Jessie happy.
21:46You know, you've been ever so good to her.
21:48She's a lovely kid.
21:50You know, she really likes you two.
21:52And I'd like it if, well, later on,
21:54you know, when she's back with me,
21:56that you'll keep in touch. Will you do that?
21:58Yeah, of course.
22:00It means such a lot to her.
22:02She's had so many people who've just disappeared
22:04out of her life.
22:06You know, I know I'm not perfect,
22:08but at least I've stuck by her always.
22:10And I always will.
22:12Mark, um,
22:14have we got any of those chocolate biscuits
22:16Jessie likes?
22:18They're in the cupboard.
22:22I don't think I'm going to be able
22:24to tell her that we'll be speaking against her
22:26in a few weeks' time.
22:28I feel awful.
22:30I don't see why.
22:32She deserves all she gets.
22:34Well, this is the life, eh?
22:36Get what you want and get someone else
22:38to do the dirty work.
22:40Wish I'd tumbled this one years ago.
22:42Uh-oh.
22:48Where's the money?
22:50Go and eat yourself and get it, mate.
22:52What, you're saying you didn't get it?
22:54Of course we didn't. Those geezers in there would have killed us.
22:56We're not putting our lives on the line like that.
22:58I'm telling you that you have to be taught how to do a job like this.
23:00You should never let you persuade us.
23:02Look, why don't we go and talk to them?
23:04Forget it. You're an idiot.
23:06Why don't you go in there and psych them out, eh?
23:10Come on, let's go in there and see what's going on.
23:12Don't let me stop you.
23:14What?
23:16If you want to go in there and come out with your face looking like a pound of mince, you go ahead.
23:18When you get back in the bloody car,
23:20this is no place for us to be hanging about.
23:22You don't come back in there with me right now. Me and you are finished.
23:24Do you have the number of a good cat farm
23:26with half your face hanging off?
23:28Are you getting back in the car or are you not?
23:38How's he do it, eh?
23:40How?
23:42Sanjay, how does he pick all the winners?
23:44Why don't you ask him?
23:46I did. And?
23:48He said it was a science, but how can it be?
23:50Don't ask me, mate.
23:52How can winning on the night be a science?
23:54Stop serving him. He's totally out of it.
23:56I can't see Grant doing that.
23:58Of course he's out of it. He's an alcoholic.
24:00There's no way I'd encourage Phil.
24:02He's my brother. We're talking about your dad.
24:04Charming.
24:06I know we said we weren't going to talk business tonight.
24:08But?
24:10We've got to. There's no easy way to say this, Roy.
24:12Barry's not been coping.
24:14Business hasn't been good, has it?
24:16No, it's not just that.
24:18He's going to run the car lot into the ground.
24:20Try this.
24:22He's ordered a dozen top-of-the-range Mercs.
24:24Ex-Demos granted, but still grassy.
24:26Now, do you think we're going to shift him?
24:28No.
24:30No, I don't think so.
24:32So what are we going to do?
24:34I'll talk to him.
24:36It needs more than that.
24:38I think you're going to have to seriously consider getting rid of him.
24:40Come on, I can't do that. He's my son.
24:42We're running a business, love.
24:44Sentiment don't come into it.
24:46Six months. I'll have that business on its feet again without sacking Barry.
24:48Yes, but Roy...
24:50I'm not going to discuss it further, all right?
25:00Evening, Mr Mitchell.
25:04You want another drink?
25:06Yeah, sure.
25:14So you made it back in one piece, then.
25:16Phil, that's enough!
25:18Have you got any idea what he'd done?
25:20Yeah, what any other sane person would do.
25:22I don't think this is Clint Eastwood.
25:24Phil, I told you before, that's enough!
25:28Connor, I've got a suggestion.
25:30Go next door and have a game of cards or something.
25:32Why not?
25:38Lee and Ryan warned you not to go in there, didn't they?
25:40Yeah, but what am I supposed...
25:42Yeah, but you were so hyped up you wanted the action, risking your life and Connor's.
25:44So what am I supposed to do now?
25:46Send them a polite little invoice, eh?
25:48If you want to get rid of this other lot, you've got to do it properly.
25:50Go equip. Break their legs if you have to,
25:52but get them off the patch permanently.
25:54That's the name of the game, Phil.
25:56You can't just be strong. You've got to be seen to be strong.
26:00Or you can forget the whole thing.
26:02Yeah, and do what?
26:04Be a car mechanic.
26:06Opt back into that safe, dull little world you were in before.
26:08The one you hated.
26:10The one you never felt part of.
26:12And how do you know?
26:14I know because you're the same as me.
26:16If you want to be in this world,
26:18this alternative world of ours,
26:20you've got to abide by the rules.
26:22Your decision, Phil.
26:24When?
26:26Tomorrow.
26:28All right.
26:30Tomorrow it is, then.
26:44Tomorrow it is.
