00:00I'm not sure he's going to be up for all the fuss.
00:26Exactly.
00:27That's why it'll be so funny.
00:28Is this his birthday or yours?
00:29Well, you know what Ronny's like.
00:30He'll soap and mourn and say he hates it.
00:31Until he's had a few drinks and then he'll love it.
00:32But before that point, I get to enjoy watching him suffer.
00:33You two have a very strange relationship.
00:34Oh, well, what do you do, Ron, Ron, Ron?
00:35How are you diddling?
00:36Oh, yeah, I'm diddling okay, actually.
00:37Seriously?
00:38That's a prize pie.
00:39Oh, what?
00:40How could you possibly?
00:41Oh, I'm sorry.
00:42I'm sorry.
00:43I'm sorry.
00:44I'm sorry.
00:45I'm sorry.
00:46I'm sorry.
00:47I'm sorry.
00:48I'm sorry.
00:49I'm sorry.
00:50I'm sorry.
00:51I'm sorry.
00:52I'm sorry.
00:53I'm sorry.
00:58How could you possibly?
00:59You left your laptop open on the website for happy birthday balloons.
01:03That could be for anyone, that.
01:06Oh, happy 55th birthday balloons.
01:09Oh, plummineck.
01:10You totally spoilt her for reveling in my humiliation, won't I?
01:14It wasn't just going to be humiliation.
01:16There was going to be cake and all.
01:18In fact, I was just about to nip into time to that wonderful bakery you like.
01:23Oh, you mean that place that does the cronuts?
01:27That's the one.
01:28But, well, I don't need to bother now, do I?
01:31Oh, no, no, no.
01:32Yes, you have to bother.
01:33Look, if you can wait but half an hour, I'll take you there myself.
01:40Why, thank you.
01:42What was I thinking, eh?
01:43A surprise party.
01:44This is much easier.
01:45I'll be a toe of Kev's.
01:48Ta-ra, Red.
01:49Ta-ra.
01:50What a woman, eh?
01:51What a woman.
01:52Hiya.
01:53Hi.
01:54Can I have a word?
01:56Can I have a word?
01:57Is everything OK?
01:58Yeah, just hoping you can help me with some initial inquiries.
02:01Initial inquiries?
02:03Do we have to go down to the station or what?
02:06To be honest, I'm gasping for a nice cup of coffee.
02:09Can we do it in here?
02:11Yeah.
02:18Oh, oh, who's left...
02:20Who's left this glass here?
02:22Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry.
02:23It's me, I need a glass of water behind my bed or I can't get to sleep.
02:26It's a sofa, not a bed.
02:28She's got you there.
02:29Yeah, all right, I'm sorry.
02:30Look, when I get this flat confirmed, I'll be out of your hair, all right?
02:33Well, why aren't you sleeping on the blow-up mattress of Gary and Sarah's?
02:36Because it's got more holes in it than something that's got a load of holes in it.
02:40Swiss cheese.
02:41Walk your pines back, then.
02:42Oh, yeah, right, very funny.
02:43Look, I'll do that, I'll do that.
02:44No, it's done now.
02:45Here, will you just shove them in the wash for me?
02:47Oh.
02:48You know, you two are annoyingly similar.
02:52We're both devilishly witty and fit, aren't we?
02:56No, like annoying like something that's really annoying.
03:03How's Sam's hand?
03:05Er, it's fine, you know.
03:08If you're all right, it's just he's got a scar and...
03:11Never mind.
03:13What do you mean?
03:15It's not that scar tissue I'm worried about.
03:19Well, what is it?
03:22It's the anniversary of Natasha's death today.
03:26Right.
03:28But, um...
03:30I know Leanne's known Sam as long as I have, and...
03:34she's his mum, but...
03:37You're his dad.
03:39Yeah.
03:41You know, dropping him off there yesterday killed me.
03:45Yeah.
03:46Yeah.
03:47It's like that thing that Mum used to say, isn't it?
03:50It's like having an elastic band connected from your heart to your kids.
03:55It's a bit gross, isn't it?
03:57Yeah.
03:59Hidey-ho.
04:01And here she is now.
04:03The massive backstabbing Judas,
04:05happily selling the house from underneath our feet.
04:08Where is she?
04:09If you're referring to Gail...
04:10He is.
04:11Your loving mother, who looked after you and cared for you your entire life...
04:15Yeah, you can nip all that in the bud for a start. Where is she?
04:18Well, she's at mine.
04:19Because it was my suggestion not to spoil her mini-break by coming here and, well,
04:23seeing you with your face on.
04:26And you was at the flat all night?
04:29Yeah.
04:30You didn't leave?
04:31No.
04:32But like I said, Debbie was out all night,
04:35I had some food, watched some telly,
04:38went to bed.
04:41Right, OK. That's everything.
04:44So did he pass, or did he crack and confess to everything?
04:47Yeah, he didn't stand a chance.
04:49I always go ultra-bad cop when I'm drinking frothy coffee.
04:52Oh, and look, it's his birthday.
04:54It's your birthday?
04:55Oh, it's your birthday.
04:57You really don't have to go around telling everybody.
04:59Here's your dessert, and I've given you extra sprinkles.
05:02Many happy returns.
05:05Do you know what time Dee Dee and Michael leave for work today?
05:07Oh, well, if you hurry, you might catch them at ours.
05:09Dee Dee came round for breakfast.
05:11Right you are.
05:13Ta.
05:23I told them we were in the house all night.
05:25And will they back you up?
05:27Well, they were asleep when we left.
05:30You sure?
05:31Yes, I'm sure.
05:35I just don't get why you're here.
05:37Ta.
05:38Has she sent you to be like cannon fodder?
05:40Well, in a nutshell, yeah.
05:41Once more into the breach.
05:43I wanted to come to try and smooth the waters.
05:46Or you could just keep out of things that don't concern you.
05:49Oh, David.
05:51I just don't get why she didn't call me back.
05:53Well, the simple reason is she's ignoring your calls.
05:57Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:59Gail doesn't ignore my calls.
06:00I ignore hers.
06:01Can I just say, I'm finding you a tad hostile.
06:04Hostile? Really?
06:06She's trying to make my family homeless.
06:09She's allowed to sell her house.
06:11Yes, and I told her to give me a chance to raise the money.
06:15But would she wait? No.
06:17She's far too busy posting pictures of you and her by the seaside
06:21and your flip-flops on flippin' blackjack.
06:29Hey.
06:31Ta.
06:32Er, me jaws are ski goggles.
06:35Cods get off all right?
06:37Yeah, fine.
06:38Oh, give us a look.
06:42What are you still doing here?
06:43Half day for speech night.
06:45Half day for speech night.
06:50Oh, Ta.
06:51Yeah, they meant those.
06:53You're gonna have such a good time.
06:58Hey, are you OK not mentioning what you were worried about yesterday?
07:01Oh, yeah, yeah, of course, yeah.
07:03Good lad.
07:04Right, put them on then.
07:07Wee, perfect.
07:12Well, if you need to contact me, Dee Dee's got my card.
07:15Yeah, well, I might be asking you to talk to Carla
07:17if she has a go at being late.
07:19So, are my whole family suspects now, then?
07:22Are you gonna speak to me mum,
07:23heading on to Lewisham to talk to our James?
07:25Told you, none of you is suspects.
07:27And I already told you when we spoke on Monday.
07:31Dad, Michael and I were all here together that night.
07:34Dee Dee, honestly, it's just due diligence.
07:37Enjoy your party.
07:40Ta.
07:44What are you saying ta to him for?
07:46He was being nice.
07:47And that was just a reflex.
07:49Look, why are you being so snippy?
07:51They're allowed to ask questions.
07:52Oh, really?
07:53Well, thank you for that.
07:54I had no idea.
07:56Look, Dee Dee, I get it, OK?
07:59Whatever you thought about Joel,
08:00whatever I thought about Joel,
08:02you're allowed to grieve someone you might have,
08:05you know, mixed feelings about.
08:06Are you finished?
08:07Cos I thought you were late for work.
08:08Dee.
08:09Look, I just had a bad night's sleep, OK?
08:13Sorry.
08:14It had nothing to do with him.
08:16Right, well, OK,
08:17just make sure you cheer up before the party this afternoon.
08:20Party's for fun.
08:22Right, knock phone.
08:23Snippiness.
08:29I've just rang them.
08:30They're having a run on them bigger cakes,
08:32so we need to get going.
08:33Uncle Ronnie?
08:34Hi, Dee Dee.
08:35Right, I've got your keys.
08:37I'll put the address in the sack now.
08:40What did you tell DC Green?
08:42Oh, he just wanted to know where I was
08:43on the night Joel disappeared.
08:44Unlike your dad, I didn't have an alibi.
08:46Debbie was out.
08:47Where's Noble Street?
08:49Sorry?
08:50By the field.
08:51Noble Street, number 47.
08:53Oh, that's...
08:54It says here it's the last place he went to.
08:56Um, that's...
08:57That's Joel's flat.
08:59Oh, right.
09:02And why were you at Joel's flat?
09:30Oh, that was from ages ago
09:32when me and Michael helped him move out.
09:35No.
09:36It's showing.
09:37It's your last address.
09:38I usually use my phone, don't I?
09:40I mean, I hardly use that any more.
09:42I mean, flipping heck.
09:43First the coppers interrogate me over my breaking.
09:45Now you're giving me the third degree
09:47over my sat-nav use.
09:49I mean, you care to chip in here, Dee Dee?
09:52No.
09:53No?
09:54No.
09:55No.
09:56No.
09:57No.
09:58You're not going to chip in here, Dee Dee?
10:00Yes, all right.
10:01All right.
10:03Hey, hey.
10:06Are you OK?
10:07Yeah.
10:08Yeah, I reckon a party will do us all a bit of good, though.
10:12You better get going, while there's still some cakes left.
10:15Spot on.
10:16Right, come on, you.
10:17Get in.
10:18What's the tissues?
10:19Oh, I'm sorry.
10:25Lauren needs help, support.
10:28And I do really want to help her, but...
10:31BELL RINGS
10:33..I'm just struggling to get over how I feel about her.
10:37Right.
10:40Look, I know I said I'd moved on, but...
10:43BELL RINGS
10:45The last thing I want is for her to think I'm only helping her
10:48because I fancy her.
10:50Gah!
10:52I should just forget it, shouldn't I?
10:56Got to say, mate, not getting very many caring vibes here.
11:00Oh, sorry, mate, it's Maria.
11:02I'm supposed to be off today, but she's having some kind of...
11:06..salon emergency.
11:08All right. Somebody died.
11:11What?
11:13M-A-E-D died.
11:15It was meant to be a hairdresser joke.
11:17Sorry for banging on.
11:19No, yeah. It's OK, I do get it.
11:22Look, I think Lauren is just feeling a bit fragile at the moment.
11:27I know. Just going to have to get over myself, aren't I?
11:30Hunker down in the friend zone.
11:33You OK to keep what I said to yourself?
11:35Yeah, yeah, of course.
11:38Well, that was nice.
11:40Mm.
11:43So, then...
11:45..shouting us a free lunch?
11:47Holidays?
11:48Feeling flush or what?
11:51Like a blindfolded man after a vindaloo.
11:56Er, no, I just fancied a pub lunch.
11:59And your mum's told me you'd been burned by your exes.
12:02Yeah, well, I drowned, actually.
12:07Yeah, I've been... Well, we've been thinking...
12:12..maybe you're after Mum's money.
12:15After she's finished paying for all the bedding and stuff,
12:18and the house must be worth it.
12:20What?
12:21This house stuff against him, I didn't write.
12:23Erm, I need to top up Sam again.
12:26Tom.
12:27No, I'm fine, thanks.
12:28Yeah.
12:31No, look, I wouldn't say flush,
12:33but I'm doing all right at the moment,
12:35cos me and me ex's house sale has gone through.
12:38I've made a tidy profit.
12:40Yay, gentrification.
12:42Right. Yeah, well, that makes sense.
12:46We'll just have to thank our lucky stars it's a seller's market at Warwick.
12:54Oh, er, after you.
12:56No, it's all right. You go, I'll wait for Max.
12:59OK, erm, if I had a best in 2-0, please, Jenny?
13:02Coming up, love.
13:06Meryl needs changing, I won't be a sec.
13:09Ah, look, I'm glad baby Frankie got a discharge date.
13:14Yeah, thanks.
13:20How did you get on with the sofa at Number 8?
13:22What?
13:23Well, er, Gail's super comfy deluxe sofa
13:27that I vacated a couple of weeks ago, so you could have the pleasure.
13:30Oh, right.
13:31Yeah, it's dead comfy, innit?
13:34Yeah, but I was being sarky.
13:35I mean, that's spring in the middle. I mean, it's vicious, eh?
13:38Not really. I could sleep anywhere, me.
13:40What? Even on the world's most uncomfortable sofa?
13:44Well, no, you're just a bit of softie, aren't you?
13:46Very princess.
13:47You know, with the pee.
13:49Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. OK.
13:51Hey, er, do you want a drink? I'm buying.
13:53Er, no, I'm not stopping, Tara. I've left Taya on her own.
13:56She's doing a shift. I was desperate and she was happy to help.
14:00Oh, right.
14:02I thought we should try that, um, being civil thing out.
14:06Yeah. Yesterday was pretty awful.
14:09Yeah.
14:11Um, did he mention his mum this morning?
14:14Er, yeah, briefly.
14:16He was more interested in showing off his stitches, to be honest.
14:20He's grown up so fast, isn't he?
14:23Yeah, it's hard to remember. He's still just a kid.
14:27A kid who's lost his mum, yeah.
14:30Listen, I've been thinking and I've got an idea about how this might work.
14:38Right. When he's inbound, give me a shout and I'll get these open.
14:41No, don't worry. I'll take them from you, Taya.
14:43OK. Thank you.
14:44So he just wanted to know where we all were that night?
14:48Oh, yeah. Well, I said we were in all night.
14:50Hey, are we ready?
14:52Is he, er, ready?
14:55Surprise!
14:57Whoa! What are you lot doing here?
14:59The man is literally walking in, carrying his own birthday cake.
15:02It couldn't be less surprise.
15:04Yeah, she's been trying to get me. Always gives herself away.
15:08You want to work on your poker face?
15:10Hey, if I hadn't have left my laptop open, I'd have had you, good and proper.
15:14Mm, thank you. Thank you, everyone.
15:16And, er, this is a big cake. Are you going to...?
15:18Oh! Whoo!
15:20Good lad.
15:21Good speech.
15:23Hey, phone's away.
15:24All right, Dad.
15:25Right, snippy.
15:28Here, let me give you a hand.
15:31I think the police intervention has made people a bit tense.
15:35Yeah, not the best timing.
15:37Could you have had the cake, though?
15:39Oh, it's really Ronnie Creamy.
15:41Ronnie was having cat's kittens every time we went round a corner.
15:45You know what he's like with his upholstery.
15:48I can't believe he let Joel put his stuff in there.
15:51I mean, it's not like he's got masses of boot space.
15:54Hang on, Joel?
15:56Yeah, when you two were helping Joel move out of his flat.
15:59Oh, yeah, no, that was my car.
16:01Your car?
16:02Yeah, the chest of drawers went in my car.
16:04Can you imagine it fitting in Uncle Ronnie's?
16:07No, I can't, actually.
16:09Yeah, well, that makes more sense, then.
16:12Right.
16:14I'll take these over.
16:18Hiya.
16:21Why's he smelling us?
16:23Because he's going out on the grounds.
16:25You know, when you say that he was poking about your finances,
16:29what do you mean?
16:31I won't say poking about, more just...
16:35..asking questions, really, offering advice.
16:38Why?
16:41What if Jesse was the one that took Damon's money?
16:44That's quite a leap.
16:45I know, I know.
16:47But he turns up sniffing around exactly when the money goes missing.
16:51Oh, come on. Somebody took it.
16:53And if it's not him, then who?
16:55And don't even say Daniel.
16:57You're basing this whole money-going-missing-in-a-lock-up thing
17:00on one phone call from Damon.
17:04I mean, Damon.
17:05I mean, let's face it, if we were doing a top five of your dodgy boyfriends,
17:09he's straight in at number one.
17:11Shut up, David.
17:12And if it's not dodgy Damon, it's his even dodgier brother, Harvey.
17:16And if it ain't him, it's one of many dodgy friends at the bar.
17:19All right, fine, I get the point.
17:21I mean, it's just...
17:22Yeah, don't worry. Yeah, I'm on my way now.
17:26I'm sorry, I've got to run.
17:28But I've settled up with Jan.
17:30Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm coming.
17:32Oh, no, that's not dodgy, not in the slightest.
17:35Where are you going?
17:36What do you think I'm doing?
17:38He's hiding something. I'm going to see what it is.
17:40Are you mad?
17:43Oh, thanks, love.
17:45Mum, me hun and I always struggle with that best barrel.
17:48It's fine.
17:49Thanks, Gemma.
17:50Well, you know, she's taking it day by day.
17:53I know, I do know, and it's...
17:56It's been three years since Johnny.
17:59Oh, of course, yeah.
18:01Sorry, Gemma.
18:02Oh, I'm fine.
18:04You know, I'd usually tell her to take all the time she likes,
18:08but we are short-staffed.
18:10Right.
18:11And I... I can't keep her shifts open forever.
18:15What, so you're saying she needs to get over her twin dying
18:18cos she might lose her job?
18:19No, no, no, no, no, no.
18:21I'm not... I'm not saying that at all.
18:23What I'm saying is that I know more than most that, you know,
18:26the hurt, it's not going to stop any time soon.
18:28So if she just...
18:29She wanted to start with the odd hour just to ease herself...
18:32Oh, I'm sorry, Gemma.
18:33It's a no. She's...
18:35It's too soon.
18:36OK.
18:38I'm sorry.
18:48I'm sorry.
19:02Oh, that's great.
19:03Hello.
19:06Oh, hey, Sam.
19:08Hi. Can I have a quick word?
19:10Look, I'll take over.
19:12Sam, will you put my coat into the office?
19:14Once again with the child labour?
19:17Everything OK?
19:18Yeah, listen, we've just had a big talk and I've made a decision.
19:23I think that me and you should move out of the flat.
19:25I think it's only fair that Nick moves back in and he can be with Sam.
19:29OK.
19:30Yeah, I just think it's right that Sam's with his dad
19:33and he doesn't have to move out again.
19:34Yeah, no, I totally get that, yeah.
19:36But, OK, where were you thinking...?
19:38Well, actually, I've already found somewhere.
19:41Craig's going to move in with Kirk and keep him company,
19:44you know, now that Beth's gone.
19:45Oh, I heard Kirk saying he was lonely.
19:47Right, so the salon flat's free?
19:49Yeah.
19:50Doesn't Tyrone own that? Have you talked to him yet?
19:52Yeah, listen...
19:54Look, this is really hard to say.
19:56What? What is it?
19:58All right, don't take this the wrong way, but...
20:01well, I sort of want to live on my own for a bit.
20:04And, to be honest,
20:06I'm not sure I'm in the right headspace to share with you at the minute.
20:11So, you two,
20:13I don't think I haven't seen the looks.
20:16What looks?
20:18Between you both,
20:19eh, Dee Dee,
20:21and he has the temerity to question my poker face.
20:24Temerity?
20:26Michael told me you went in his car to Joel's flat,
20:29so why's that addressing your sat-nav?
20:31Listen, I don't think this is the time to talk about it.
20:34No, she's right. We need to talk about this.
20:37No, we don't. Ed.
20:39They're going to keep on pestering me until I do.
20:42So, anyway, here goes.
20:44Speech! Speech!
20:46To the love of my life.
20:48Oh, no.
20:51I am truly sorry you've had the misfortune
20:54to get involved with an absolute rotter like me.
20:58You might not have pulled off a surprise party.
21:01I was surprised.
21:03But you surprise me every day.
21:05By sticking with me.
21:07Despite my grumpiness and surprises,
21:10I throw you away.
21:12So, um, thank you.
21:14And thank you all for coming.
21:16Right, on by.
21:18Who's for more champagne?
21:20Oh, er, no second for me, please.
21:22Oh, mate.
21:23You turn around, pretty, all right?
21:26Give me a hand.
21:38He's not here.
21:39This was a stupid idea.
21:41We can't give up now. We need to find him.
21:43Let's go.
21:44I'm not going anywhere.
21:46We're not letting him get away with this.
21:49Dad.
21:52You went to see him that night, didn't you?
21:54Both of you.
21:56You've got to believe me.
21:58We didn't lay a finger on him.
22:01But he was there.
22:03He was there.
22:05He was there.
22:07He was there.
22:09He was there.
22:11He was there.
22:13He was there.
22:15He was there.
22:17But, yeah.
22:19We were there that night.
22:21We were going to drag him down to the cob shop.
22:23But when we got there, he didn't answer, so...
22:26we broke in.
22:28You broke in?
22:30We brought a crowbar.
22:32Then what did you do?
22:35We went home.
22:37That's it?
22:39We went home with our tails between our legs?
22:43Swore each other to secrecy.
22:45Yeah, again. I know.
22:47Hey, do you want me to bring those over?
22:49No, we're fine. Thanks, Nick.
22:53And that's it?
22:55After that, you called it off and came home?
22:57That's it.
22:58What, you don't believe me?
23:00Would you blame me?
23:02You've lied to me this long.
23:04I understand why you didn't tell the police.
23:06I mean, the whole thing is beyond stupid.
23:09It's macho nonsense, but I get that.
23:12What I don't get is why you didn't tell me straight away.
23:15We're together, remember?
23:17We're meant to sort stuff out like this, together.
23:20I know.
23:22I'm sorry.
23:24Go on, then.
23:26Shout at me.
23:28I was half expecting you to force us to go to the police.
23:32I can't force you to do anything, Dad.
23:36Hey, look, I didn't mean to ambush you before.
23:39No, I completely get it.
23:41It's for the best. Does Sam know?
23:43Yeah, yeah, he's fine with it.
23:45Look, I would have run it past you first, but he brought it up.
23:48No, honestly, it's fine. It makes total sense.
23:51And, yeah, you know, as long as you're happy with it.
23:54Yeah, yeah, of course.
23:56Hey, I'm going to need you to help me pack.
23:59Are you sure you can't stay as well?
24:01All of us?
24:03Oh, Sam.
24:05No, it's win-win, isn't it? Come on.
24:07You're going to get two fridges to raid,
24:09double the number of streaming subscriptions,
24:11spare room to bob all your stuff in. Come on.
24:14Yeah, see, telescope out the window, you've got an observatory.
24:21Oh, you are kidding.
24:24Oh! Oh, watch out!
24:26Oh, my gosh. I am so sorry.
24:29Sarah? Are you all right?
24:32Nothing's broken.
24:35You OK?
24:37Maybe. When me mum finds out you're nipping off,
24:39having secret meetings with other women.
24:49I'm coming.
24:53Hey. Hiya.
24:55Erm, I can't be long cos I'm short-staffed.
24:59I didn't mean that in a Passag way.
25:01I just... I just... I wanted to clear the air.
25:04Cos I didn't mean in any way
25:06that I was somehow threatening to fire you. I'm sorry.
25:10I was just, you know, really stressed cos of the barrel.
25:13And, you know, I know you're on bereavement leave, which is good.
25:17I mean, it's not... good.
25:20But I just want you to know that you need to take as much time as you need
25:23and just don't feel like you have to hurry back.
25:26Right.
25:28What are you on about?
25:31Has Chesney not talked to you?
25:34Well, not since this morning, no.
25:36Oh, right. Erm...
25:39Well, I... I rather clumsily...
25:42Passag?
25:44..told him that I couldn't hold on to your schist forever
25:47and that I hoped you'd be back at work soon.
25:50Right.
25:52Yeah, he has been mithering, actually.
25:55Well, he's... he's just looking out for you.
25:57Yeah.
25:59I think I am ready, you know.
26:01I could do some shifts next week, maybe.
26:03Are you... are you sure?
26:05Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure. I am.
26:13You OK?
26:14Bill, when you've got a sec, please, Nick.
26:16Oi, what you doing? You're not paying.
26:18It's your birthday.
26:19Yeah, Nick, if he goes anywhere near that Bill,
26:21I'm going to flame this place so hard, I'm going to improvise it.
26:24Oh, yeah, OK.
26:25Well, look, it's my birthday, so I get to decide who pays, right?
26:29I don't think it works like that. It definitely doesn't.
26:32Thank you. There you go, Michael.
26:34Hey, hang on a minute. I organise this. I'm paying.
26:38No, you're not. Nope.
26:40OK, let's just split it evenly, OK? Everyone except for me.
26:43No, no, no.
26:44All right, then. Get your little calculator out.
26:46I don't have a little calculator. I've got a phone.
26:49Hey, you don't need a calculator. Give it to you.
26:52Listen, you don't have to do that. Just...
26:55They're not listening.
26:57You're better off keeping yourself out of this one, mate.
27:00Hey, you all right? Very quiet.
27:02Erm, yeah, sorry, I've got a bit of a headache,
27:05so I might head home, actually.
27:07Hey, hey, don't go. Look, we're very sorry.
27:10We're stupid. We should have told you before.
27:12Yeah. Yeah, and we told you everything, all right?
27:15There's nothing else, if that's what you're worried about.
27:18Me and Ronnie went back two hours with our tails between our legs
27:21and then Ronnie went home.
27:25Ain't that right, man?
27:27Yeah, of course. Why do you ask me like that for?
27:30What do you mean? Right, wrong. You know I did, I told you.
27:33Well, I know, but I was just making you say it to confirm for Dee Dee.
27:37Why do I need to confirm?
27:39Flippin' heck. No, go on. You don't believe me.
27:42Yeah, of course I believe you.
27:44Look, it's fine, guys.
27:46Do you want to try that again?
27:48Look, can you blame me? I mean, you were really hit.
27:51We both were. We both called it off.
27:53What, you think I went back there, finished off the job?
27:56Oh, my days. Of course not.
27:58Everything all right, lads? Yeah, everything's fine.
28:01Actually, I was just saying, I've got a bit of a headache,
28:04so I think I'm going to skip the phone. What?
28:06I've got some paracetamol, if you want.
28:08I'm OK, sir. Sorry. That's too much, look.
28:11It's fine. I'll put it towards the tip.
28:16Now see what you've done.
28:18It's been a tough few days.
28:21I'll check in on her later.
28:24Wait, wait.
28:26This is my ex, Jane, and it was just a hug.
28:29Oh, just a hug.
28:31Yeah, right, course it was. And what's my mum?
28:34Yeah, I was getting with her just to pass the time
28:36until you could get with this one. This one?
28:38Oh, wait a minute. Don't tell me.
28:40Your mum's Eileen, right?
28:42No, my mum's Gail. Who's Gail?
28:44Well, she's Eileen's sworn nemesis.
28:47It's very complicated.
28:49And you're with Gail?
28:51Well, not with, with, no.
28:54But I am with her mother.
28:57Oh, yeah, with my mother.
28:59And going on nice little trips away with my mother.
29:01There was only a night in Whitby.
29:03Oh, nice.
29:05I think it's not even dry in the divorce papers
29:07and you're on a dirty weekend with Whitby woman Gail.
29:09It was hardly dirty. Oh, I don't even want to know.
29:11So was he cheating on you as well, then?
29:14Just hang on. No, no.
29:16Jesse's an idiot, but, well, he's a good man.
29:20If you must know, it was me that was cheating,
29:22when he was inside.
29:24Inside like prison?
29:26Look, please, please.
29:28Can we just concentrate on the good man bit?
29:30I'm sorry. I'll be in touch about the house, Jesse.
29:33OK, look, but please, I was going to tell you about Gail.
29:38Ah!
29:40What? Why are you even here?
29:43Because I've been following you.
29:45Of course you have.
29:47Why are you lot so suspicious of me?
29:49Oh, come on, we both know.
29:51Well, we both know what? You know!
29:53I don't. The money. What money?
29:55You mean Gail's money? No, the...
29:59You don't know?
30:01What the hell are you talking about?
30:03You don't know.
30:05You don't know.
30:19PHONE BUZZES
30:26PHONE BUZZES Yes?
30:30Dad, I'm... I'm fine, I just...
30:33Please, Dad, I...
30:36OK, OK, it's open.
30:54Dee Dee, I'm so, so sorry.
30:57It's just a headache, Dad.
30:59Yeah, you said. Look, I brought some pills.
31:02Look, you take these. Go sit down, I'll go get some water.
31:10Listen, I'm serious. Scream at me, shout at me, I deserve it, all right?
31:14What me and Ronnie did was stupid.
31:22Whatever we thought of Joel, there's no excuse.
31:33HEAVY BREATHING
31:57CLINKING
32:00I'm so sorry we didn't tell you straight away.
32:06I already knew, Dad.
32:10What?
32:13That night, I...
32:15I heard you and Uncle Ronnie arguing in the yard when he dropped you home.
32:20Oh, love.
32:23I should have said something sooner.
32:26I don't know why I didn't, I just...
32:30Maybe part of me was glad.
32:32You know, glad that my family, my dad,
32:34had gone out to make sure he was going to pay for everything he'd done.
32:37Listen, we didn't do anything, I swear.
32:39What we said in the bistro was the truth.
32:41When we realised what we were doing was so stupid, we went home.
32:44Ronnie, too. He was more fired up than me, but...
32:48But we didn't do anything.
32:50I know, Dad. I believe you.
32:55I know I've lied to you in the past.
32:57It's OK. I believe you.
33:00Yeah, but you spent the last few days thinking.
33:03I'm so, so sorry.
33:07I am so sorry.
33:14Air fryer. Oh, nix.
33:16Has he ever used it?
33:18Yeah, fair point, actually. I'll have it.
33:22Oh, no way.
33:23As if you've still got this ancient toasted sandwich maker.
33:26This takes me back.
33:28I haven't used it in years. It doesn't even work properly.
33:31Dad got that from some bloke from the market.
33:34You talked to Les lately?
33:36Yeah, spoke to him a couple of weeks ago.
33:38He was drunk, obviously.
33:40And he expected me to summarise what had been happening in my life
33:43since the last time we spoke.
33:45Did you?
33:47No, I said nothing much had happened.
33:49Could hardly hear him, anyway. I think he was at some wrestling show.
33:52Wrestling? Yeah.
33:54He said something about meeting up for a drink,
33:56but when I messaged back...
33:58He didn't reply.
34:00Yeah, pretty standard line of communication with my dad all round.
34:03Sam, could you do us a favour?
34:05Somebody's left a big cardboard box outside,
34:07near the recycling, near the residents' car park.
34:09Could you just go and nab it for me?
34:11Yeah, of course. Unless there's rats in it.
34:14Then no.
34:16Um...
34:23So he's OK about you moving out, then?
34:26Well, he says he is, but you never really know what he's thinking.
34:31Um...
34:33I'm sorry for springing all this on you.
34:35No, come on, I totally get it.
34:37You're right, you know, we're better off with a bit of space.
34:40Yeah. Especially now you've recovered.
34:43Yeah.
34:45And things aren't really great between me and Nick, so...
34:48Well, do you know what?
34:50I think it'll be good for me to live on my own.
34:52I've not lived on my own for ages
34:54and I've always had to rely on somebody else,
34:56so I think it'll be good for me.
34:58Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I mean, me too.
35:00In fact, I'm going to get online right now
35:03and I'm going to see what's out there.
35:05Yeah.
35:09Hey.
35:11Is Bethany back yet?
35:13No, hopefully tomorrow,
35:15but will you send her some more TikToks cos it does cheer her up?
35:18Thanks.
35:20Hello?
35:22Hiya. Is Mum in?
35:24No, she's staying at Jesse's.
35:27Who, by the way, said you ambushed him with his axe?
35:30Yeah, well, I think he was being dodgy in the pub.
35:33Yeah, well, you'd know all about dodgy.
35:35Oh, Dave, shut up.
35:37It's not me to shut up. You're the one who called round here.
35:39Did you know that Jesse's been to prison?
35:43No. Hopefully.
35:45He doesn't want to say.
35:47Well, my money's on Harvey.
35:49Maybe. Hopefully.
35:51What do you mean, hopefully?
35:53Because if it's not Harvey,
35:55he's going to be pretty knocked that the money's gone missing, isn't he?
35:58What if he comes sniffing round here for it?
36:01Oh, great, so we're not only going to be homeless,
36:03we're going to be the target of Weatherfield's kingpin of crime.
36:12Oh.
36:37She OK?
36:39She's not great, no.
36:42Turns out she heard us come back to the house that night.
36:46So when she found out, we told the police we didn't leave the house.
36:50She thought we might have. Exactly.
36:52Enough to give anyone a headache.
36:54Hey, Ed's back.
36:56Ah, here he is. Funny how you sneaked out late with your round.
37:01Well, is Dee Dee all right?
37:03All right, look, son, you...
37:06We've got something to tell you.
37:09Come on, brother dearest.
37:11I think Abi needs to take you home.
37:13Oh, do you think? I'm not leaving.
37:16Not unless we're getting a kebab.
37:18In which case, I'm getting a kebab.
37:21Ah, thought you'd never ask.
37:23Erm, kebabby?
37:25Eat it here.
37:27Ta-ra.
37:29All right.
37:31Right, go on. What is it?
37:34Oh, hi, mate. Leanne not with you?
37:36No. I convinced her I wasn't going to bleed to death if I came by myself.
37:40OK, look, get out the way of the door, here.
37:43Sorry, I know I shouldn't be by here,
37:45but it turns out we're out of black peppercorn and we're having eggs.
37:49And you can't really have eggs without them.
37:52Oh, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
37:54Yeah, hang on. Is everything all right, though?
37:57Yeah.
37:58It's good that Leanne's just moving me in the corner, isn't it?
38:01Yeah. Auntie Toy has been helping her pack.
38:03Oh, well, that's good.
38:05She's nicking the earth, right?
38:07Well, predictable.
38:09And planning on moving out tomorrow.
38:11Wow. That's quick.
38:13Yeah.
38:15Next year, I'll have the anniversary
38:17of losing two mums on two consecutive days.
38:24Mate.
38:25No, sorry. That was meant as a joke.
38:28Honestly, I get that it's for the best.
38:31And like you say, she's just round the corner.
38:34You're not losing Leanne, you know.
38:36Look how close she is to Simon.
38:38Yeah, I know. I know, honestly.
38:41It was just a bad joke.
38:43You'll be able to see her whenever you want.
38:45Yeah, I know.
38:48Pepper?
38:50Yeah, yeah, OK, yeah.
38:52Er, hey, there we go.
38:55See you later. Yeah. Enjoy your eggs.
39:01I don't believe this.
39:03No, actually, what am I saying? Of course I believe it.
39:05You playing the hard man acting, you lying about it.
39:07Look, Michael... No, he's right. I deserve that.
39:10I hold my hands up. We both do.
39:13What we do is stupid.
39:15Oh, forgot your keys.
39:17Oh.
39:19Just got a craving for some crisps.
39:21Mm-mm.
39:23Got a craving for some crisps. Mm-mm.
39:25Do you fancy a brew?
39:27Ooh, go on, then.
39:31You realise I, erm...
39:33What's the word? I perjured myself because of you.
39:36I told him that you were in all night.
39:38No, you said you thought he was in all night.
39:41You were asleep.
39:43OK, great.
39:45Good to know I can rely on a technicality when it comes to court.
39:48I'm guessing Dee Dee's told you to go to the police?
39:50She's...
39:52..agreed to keep it quiet. We both have.
39:55What?
39:57Nothing happened, so?
39:59Sorry, wait, run this past me again.
40:02Dee Dee's agreed to cover up your little vigilante justice spree
40:05and you're OK with it, are you?
40:07Well, like Ron said, nothing's happened.
40:09Apart from Joel being murdered.
40:11Keep your voice down.
40:13Look, I believe you.
40:15I know you had nothing to do with it.
40:17Well, glad to know.
40:19Yeah, but you broke into his house the night he got murdered.
40:21That's a massive coincidence.
40:23You think anyone else will believe you didn't do it?
40:25Which is why none of us can say anything.
40:31I didn't think you'd still be awake.
40:33Can't sleep.
40:36You OK?
40:38Mm-hm.
40:43Jenny come round before.
40:45Right.
40:47I'm...
40:49I'm sorry I shouldn't have gone behind your back.
40:51No, it's fine.
40:53I told her I'd go back and do some shifts next week.
40:56Part-time, you know.
40:58This is where you're going to have a go at me for interfering?
41:01No.
41:03I get it.
41:07It just...
41:09..feels weird just carrying on like normal.
41:13Well...
41:15..that's why you don't have to, Gem.
41:17I do.
41:19We need the money.
41:21And I can't just keep sitting here while you're working so hard
41:24you're going to have to keep your eyes open.
41:27And I'm fine.
41:29Are you, though? Really?
41:32Yeah.
41:34Well, I've got to be. You know it's going to change, is it?
41:38And he's not coming back.
41:41And I can't just be sad forever, can I?
41:45Gemma, come here.
41:54Sorry it's late, but this can't wait till tomorrow.
41:58Right.
42:00How are you so calm?
42:02I thought you'd been marching him down to the police station.
42:04Because they didn't do it.
42:06OK, but do you really think the police,
42:08the same police who locked up Roy Cropper for murder,
42:11are going to look at the dad and the uncle of the victim's ex-fiance
42:15and believe that?
42:17Do you believe them?
42:19That they broke in and changed their minds?
42:21Of course I do, don't you?
42:25Yes, yeah, yeah.
42:27Look, I can't deal with this right now.
42:29I need to go to bed.
42:32Someone was looking for Joel that evening.
42:34And whoever that was...
42:36And whoever that was finished the job.
43:06I'm sorry.
43:22I'm sorry.
43:26I'm sorry.
43:36I'm sorry.
