00:00Oh, hello, darling.
00:28Got any joy from Kathy yet?
00:30Not really.
00:31But it is true. She's going to South Africa.
00:34Yeah.
00:35Well, you've got to do something.
00:36Mum, it's difficult.
00:38Why?
00:39You know, everything I've done.
00:41He's still your son, and if you don't speak to her, I will.
00:44This shouldn't be a lend.
00:48I couldn't sleep a wink last night thinking about it.
00:50Mum.
00:51I blew it.
00:52No, you didn't. Just leave it.
00:53She just got to me.
00:55You were defending me, that's all.
00:56Yeah, but...
00:57Look, come on.
00:58Look, you're leaving me tomorrow. I can't handle this.
01:01If I've lost you the kids...
01:02Look, all you did was say what you believed.
01:04Now, if they can't handle it, that's their problem, not ours.
01:06Everything you said was true.
01:08I'm proud of you for saying it, and I'm proud you're me mum.
01:13Yeah?
01:14Pat's wanting a couple of hours off this morning.
01:16I said I'd help out, unless you didn't want me to.
01:18No, you do whatever you want.
01:20Hope it goes well today.
01:21Thanks.
01:22I know how it feels.
01:23But it's not quite the same, is it?
01:25Ian hasn't done anything to deserve losing his kids.
01:27And I did.
01:28I lived with an elkie, remember? I know what it's like.
01:31Whatever.
01:34She's got no idea what this is like.
01:36I don't think anyone has.
01:38Come on.
01:39Let's get this over with.
01:41Yeah.
01:52Well, what are we waiting for?
01:55I need a straight answer.
01:57I need to know what actually happened.
01:59Oh, I've told you before.
02:02There was a business rival who he fell out with.
02:04It all got out of hand, and Ian got shocked.
02:07It was nothing serious, just a scratch.
02:09So why didn't you tell me that before?
02:11Because there was no point.
02:13Had nothing to do with me.
02:15He blamed you.
02:16Well, he would, wouldn't he?
02:18Everyone knew it was just a joke.
02:20It just came as a bit of a shock, that's all.
02:22It just came as a bit of a shock, that's all.
02:24Yeah, well, that's what they were banking on.
02:26They wanted to get to you.
02:27You heard what the judge said.
02:28He didn't want to hear all about it.
02:29You know, it was ridiculous.
02:31The police dropped the case.
02:32Yeah, I suppose so.
02:34Look, if it comes up again today,
02:36let's just act like it was some sort of joke, all right?
02:38OK.
02:39You don't want to walk in there
02:40and go thinking we've fallen out.
02:41It won't look good at all.
02:43Is there anything else you think I should know?
02:46No, nothing.
02:49I'm not kidding, Martin.
02:50Just listen to what Sonia tells you.
02:52I'm trying my best.
02:53Yes, well, you're not trying hard enough.
02:55I want that lot learnt by the time I get back.
02:58All of it?
02:59Yes, all of it.
03:00You ain't got that much.
03:01Well, you learn it, then.
03:02It's not my part.
03:03Just get on with it.
03:04Now, you know what to do if there's any service washes coming?
03:07Yeah.
03:08Oh, and if Opidopolis arrives...
03:09I know.
03:10OK, well, I'll be as quick as I can.
03:12And listen, keep an eye on the cash box.
03:14See you later, Pauline.
03:15Ta-ra, Sonia.
03:16The court is now in session.
03:18Looks like we're on.
03:20Yeah.
03:31I can't see him ever letting Cindy have custody of the kids,
03:33not after what she did.
03:34No, she doesn't really care about them.
03:36She just wants them to show Ian.
03:38Yeah, but the judge will see through her.
03:40That's what worries me.
03:42The judge.
03:43I don't trust him an inch.
03:44Ow!
03:45Oh, look at this, Pauline.
03:46I'm making them up, pig's ear of it, love.
03:48I'm no good with Emmys.
03:49You put it on and I'll pin it up.
03:51Oh, OK.
03:55I hope we're as happy as they are when the verdict comes in.
04:01I came to say I'm sorry.
04:03You should have told me.
04:05It had nothing to do with you, Sarah.
04:07Yeah, it did.
04:09How do you think I felt this morning coming round here?
04:12I didn't know what to say.
04:13I just kept out of Kathy's way until she'd gone.
04:15I didn't mean for you to find out.
04:17That makes it worse.
04:19I mean, I thought you were somebody I could trust.
04:21Somebody that would be straight with me.
04:23I am.
04:24I mean, did you think I'd tell someone?
04:26I mean, you never know.
04:27I might have even helped you, been someone you could have talked to.
04:29There was no point in involving you.
04:31The whole thing's over. It was never going anywhere.
04:33Because she's married?
04:34Yeah.
04:35It was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
04:38Do you still like her?
04:39Of course I still like her.
04:41If I could change things, I would.
04:43And is she still like you?
04:45Yeah, I think so.
04:47Well, then what is the problem?
04:48I mean, her divorce will be through before long.
04:50It's not just the fact she's a married woman.
04:52What else is there?
04:54She can't get past me being a vicar.
04:56Well, there's the history of the case,
04:58and now we come to my decision.
05:00This is an extremely difficult case.
05:03We have here two loving, caring parents,
05:06both of them absolutely dedicated to the welfare of their children.
05:11Now, in such a finely balanced case as this,
05:14if you're going to have a change of carer,
05:16then the advantages of any change
05:19must significantly outweigh the detrimental effects.
05:23The father has shown himself dedicated to the children
05:25over a number of years, and I was impressed by his evidence.
05:28The court had already given him residence of the children,
05:31and that would no doubt still be the case today,
05:33had it not been for the wrongful abduction of the children by the mother.
05:37However, the father, too, is to be reprimanded
05:39for his reabduction of the children.
05:42This behaviour is not acceptable.
05:45Both parents now rightly are allowing the court
05:48to decide the future of their children.
05:51Now, the father's excellent care continues to this day.
05:54However, I was equally impressed by the mother.
05:57She's shown dedication, commitment to her children.
06:01She's created for herself a stable lifestyle and a lasting relationship,
06:05and she seems to have learned from her mistakes.
06:08However, there are areas of concern.
06:11The mother was not frank with the court about her pregnancy.
06:14Whilst I deplore the fact this was hidden from the court,
06:17in itself it does not reflect on her ability to care for her children.
06:22The mother has said that she will provide generous contact
06:25and foster good relations between the children and the father,
06:28and the father says the same.
06:30And indeed, he had given contact until immediately prior to this hearing,
06:34and he cites a rise in tension for his reason for the refusal to give access,
06:40and I find that understandable.
06:42Now, thus far, both parents are on equal terms,
06:46and there is nothing here to justify a move
06:49from the father's care to that of the mother's.
06:52However, the children need and love both parents equally,
06:56and it is vital that the parent with whom the children are living
07:00allows them to love and have a high regard for the absent parent.
07:04Now, the father looks to his extended family for support,
07:08and I see here an obvious and deep-seated antagonism
07:12on the part of the father's family towards the mother.
07:15Indeed, I was struck by the evidence of the paternal grandmother,
07:18Mrs Catherine Mitchell.
07:20She may try to disguise these feelings in front of the children,
07:23but I do not wish the children to risk being exposed
07:26to such a severely prejudicial view of their mother,
07:29and it is for this reason, by the narrowest of margins,
07:33that I make a residence order in favour of the mother
07:36with generous contact for the father.
07:39We'll take a few moments' break,
07:41and when we come back, we'll look at the details of the order.
07:44We need to up the ante.
07:46We can't do that, not without checking in with Carters.
07:49I don't need to know.
07:51Things seem to have calmed down. We don't want to rock the boat.
07:54We're not rocking the boat. We're just letting them know we're not a pushover.
07:58Some of these are a bit steep, aren't they?
08:00They can afford it. Another grand from the Greyhound.
08:03This isn't going to go down well with Carters.
08:05We'll deal with them first, don't we, Philip?
08:07I don't care.
08:08I don't see your problem, Connor.
08:10500 more off Conrad's.
08:12Another grand and a half from Barton's.
08:15We're asking for trouble.
08:21The handover is tomorrow.
08:23Why can't I collect them now?
08:24That's what the judge has ordered. We have to obey his directions.
08:27We can wait till Friday.
08:28And it might be advisable to stay away from your husband.
08:31Yeah, whatever you say.
08:34There can't be... There must be something we can do. Can't we appeal?
08:37Well, the judge has made up his mind,
08:39and unless the circumstances change dramatically,
08:41I'm afraid we'd be wasting our time.
08:45I'm not going to South Africa, Marion. I can't.
08:47If she can, there's no point in you staying here.
08:49But there must be something we can do.
08:51Mum, you've got to go. She's not going to ruin anybody else's life.
08:58Happy now?
08:59And what about you? How long do you think you've got until she ditches you?
09:02It's over. Leave it alone.
09:04Why shall I leave it alone?
09:05I mean, she's lied to me, she's cheated on me,
09:07she tried to have me killed, and now she's stolen my kids.
09:09My kids, not hers, mine.
09:10And who do you think was looking after them while she was out playing the field?
09:13All right, that's enough.
09:14Oh, yeah, you'll know when it's enough.
09:15You ain't seen nothing yet. You wait till she wants to get rid of you.
09:17Ian...
09:18You got away with it once, but you'll never get away with it again.
09:19You are crazy.
09:20And if the law won't do it, I'll resort to your method.
09:22Oh, what method? I had nothing to do with it.
09:23Oh, you believe that, do you?
09:24Yeah, yeah, she tried to have him shot, we know.
09:26Tried?
09:28Oh, scratch!
09:29Oh, really? Do you call that a scratch?
09:30Yeah, let's go.
09:31Yeah, I'm gonna get you.
09:32Come on, let's go.
09:33You see, I'll get you!
09:38Do you know you snort?
09:39No.
09:40Well, you do. Very loudly.
09:41And you talk when you're asleep.
09:42No, I don't.
09:43I was awake all night, listening to it.
09:44What was I saying?
09:45I don't know.
09:46Posh Spice, posh Spice,
09:47and there's someone about a-walking all over you.
09:49Give up.
09:50I couldn't have got more than ten minutes, kid.
09:51Yeah, well, if that's a problem for you, Barry...
09:53No, I'll get through it somehow.
09:54I'm moving me things in today.
09:56That should make me feel more at home.
09:57What things?
09:58Just a few things, you know.
09:59Personal stuff.
10:01Any news on Ian?
10:02Nah, nothing yet.
10:03Well, if he loses,
10:04just think of the sympathy he'll get from the voters.
10:06I just want it to be over,
10:07so I can sort out what's happening with Kathy.
10:09Now, please, Peggy, leave it to Phil.
10:11I know what you feel about Ben,
10:12but it's their problem, not yours.
10:14Just stand back from it.
10:15Easier said than done.
10:17Well, you're interfering, it'll only make it worse.
10:19You don't want to push her into it.
10:20OK.
10:21I'll leave it to him.
10:23Hey, you still going to buy me out?
10:25Yeah.
10:26This isn't personal, is it?
10:28Yeah, yeah, I know.
10:29This is business.
10:30You watch too many Mafia films.
10:32I mean it.
10:33Yeah, well, I'm afraid, Dad, it's personal to me.
10:35George, this is for you.
10:37Oh, yeah.
10:38Excuse me.
10:40Listen, Pauline,
10:41this is going to take a couple of days to alter, love.
10:43Yeah, it's a shame.
10:45Perfect fit on you.
10:47Yeah.
10:48Pity to have to alter it.
10:49I mean, it's such a waste.
10:51It could have been made for you.
10:53Yeah.
10:54Look, why don't you do the part?
10:57What?
10:58Yeah, you should do it.
10:59You'd be much better at it than me.
11:01Yeah, but, Pauline, I...
11:02Well, then just do it!
11:05Ian.
11:08I've got to go home.
11:09What's the matter?
11:10I don't know, something's happened.
11:12I'll ring you.
11:14I'll come with you.
11:15I'll come with you.
11:23Well?
11:26We lost.
11:27Cindy's got the kids.
11:29I don't believe it.
11:32Well, how could they?
11:36Help! Help!
11:37I'm going to get you!
11:42Right, well, thanks very much for all you've done.
11:44It's been my pleasure.
11:46Thank you. Goodbye.
11:47Goodbye.
11:48Well, better than we could have hoped for, eh?
11:50Yeah.
11:51It was Kathy that lost it for him, you know.
11:53She never could keep her big mouth shut.
11:57What really happened, Cindy?
11:59Hmm?
12:00The shooting. That was no scratch.
12:02OK, so it wasn't a scratch.
12:04But it doesn't mean it had anything to do with me.
12:07You've got to trust me on this, Nick.
12:15It's not over yet.
12:17Yes, it is. She's won.
12:18We can dig up some more stuff. That was just the first round.
12:21No. No, it's not right on the kids.
12:24First me, then Cindy, then me again.
12:26I mean, when's it going to stop?
12:28I mean, he can't be doing them any good. I can't drag them through this again.
12:30You can't leave them with Cindy. That would be so unfair on them.
12:33And you know anything could happen to them.
12:35Ian, you have got to keep fighting.
12:38Are they with Pauline?
12:40No, Pat's gone.
12:43I don't know what I'm going to say to them.
12:45I don't know what I'm going to tell them.
12:47Come on. I'll go get them with you.
12:51Ros, I'm... I'm sorry.
12:53What are you sorry about?
12:55A big case like this and we come out losing it.
12:57Do you know why I first started doing this job?
13:00I thought it'd be easy money.
13:02The theory was that if a girl delivers her,
13:04chances were she wouldn't get thumped.
13:06Well, I've learned that isn't strictly the case.
13:08But this, this whole thing of getting your children back,
13:11this was something else.
13:13This makes my job worthwhile.
13:15And I'm not through yet, Ian.
13:17I'll give Cindy a run for your money.
13:19Thanks for the last couple of days, Sarah.
13:21I don't know what I would have done without you.
13:24How's Ian?
13:26Hard to tell. Angry, hurt, upset.
13:29I'm not sure.
13:30So what are you going to do?
13:32I don't know.
13:34Are you still going to South Africa?
13:36Ian wants me to go.
13:38There's a reason you might want to stay.
13:41I saw Alex this morning.
13:43I know about you and him.
13:45Know what?
13:47You're the married woman.
13:49I'm sorry.
13:50No, Kath.
13:52You'd be great together.
13:54What?
13:55You're just perfect for each other.
13:57He's a vicar. It wouldn't work.
13:59He loves you, Kath. I know he does.
14:01Just think, my two favourite people together.
14:04Maybe...
14:05What if you stay? Give it a chance.
14:07I can't.
14:08Why not?
14:09I've got my tickets.
14:11That doesn't mean you have to go.
14:13It's a new start.
14:15And if you stayed here, with Alex, that'd be a new start.
14:19Stay, Kathy.
14:21Stay for Alex.
14:23Stay for me.
14:26Sarah is coming, isn't she?
14:28We said we'd meet her here.
14:30Right. Well, sit down.
14:33Can I get you a drink?
14:34Oh, that'd be nice.
14:35What would you like? Tea? Coffee?
14:37Have you got a beer?
14:39Ian lost.
14:40No.
14:41I can't believe it.
14:42That's madness.
14:44Yeah, he's devastated.
14:45Well, how's Kathy?
14:47I don't know, love. I haven't seen her.
14:49But I expect she'll be just as bad.
14:51Never stops with kids, does it?
14:53Just as soon as you think they're grown up,
14:55and off you round something like this happens.
14:57I've just seen Barry.
14:59And?
15:00Well, he's calling round to pick up his things. He's moving into the squat.
15:03It's going to be a bit crowded, isn't it?
15:05Hugh, Lenny, Robbie, Simon, and now Barry.
15:09Tell him he doesn't have to go. Tell him he can stay here.
15:12Thanks.
15:15We're not, er, interrupted or anything, are we?
15:17No.
15:18We have to make a few trips, I'm afraid.
15:20I thought you said there wasn't much.
15:21Well, there isn't. Most of it's upstairs.
15:25Barry, Pat says it's all right. You don't have to move out.
15:28Oh, does she?
15:29So you can forget all this. I mean, leave this stuff where it is.
15:32Well, I can't. I've promised the lads I'd move in with them,
15:34and I don't want to let them down.
15:38There you go.
15:39Thanks for finding me that place.
15:41It's not the Savoy. It's not bad.
15:43Sorry, not in here.
15:45What?
15:46No alcohol allowed.
15:47If you want to drink here, you're going to have to go outside.
15:49Leave it out!
15:50Look, lads, outside.
15:51There's no harm in...
15:52Outside!
15:54Doesn't it ever get to you?
15:56Sometimes.
15:57Like banging your head against a brick wall, isn't it?
15:59This bit isn't too bad. It's what goes with it.
16:01Which is what?
16:02The bureaucracy. The dos and the don'ts.
16:05That's what really gets here.
16:07You can handle it, though, can't you?
16:09Most of the time.
16:13But not all of the time.
16:15No.
16:16Same for all of us, you know. Whatever you do.
16:18You start off handling it most of the time,
16:20then only some of the time, then none of the time
16:22it gets to you and drags you down.
16:24What does?
16:26Life, living, this, whatever.
16:28We all have our demons.
16:30What are yours, Alex?
16:32You wouldn't want to know.
16:34I might.
16:35You've got a light?
16:37I suppose it's easier for you.
16:39When you start going down, you just say a few prayers
16:41and then you feel OK again.
16:43Far less damage in than a couple of bottles of wine.
16:46I suppose it's easier for you.
16:48Far less damage in than a couple of bottles of vodka.
16:51Yeah, but it doesn't have the same effect.
16:54No, you're right there.
16:57Do you really believe in God?
16:59Yeah.
17:01You believe he's all-seeing, all-powerful?
17:03Yeah.
17:05So why does he allow one of his top men?
17:07Top men?
17:08You.
17:09Why does he allow you to be so sad?
17:12How do you know I'm sad?
17:14You can see it in your eyes.
17:16If I can see it, you can.
17:26Oh, no!
17:30What's all this rubbish?
17:31They're my things.
17:33That's my life.
17:34What was it doing all over the street?
17:36I wonder how Ian went on.
17:38Least of my worries.
17:41We're a bit later than we said.
17:43I hope Mum's been all right.
17:44Of course she'll be all right.
17:45Yeah, you don't know it.
17:46She can get pretty shirty when she wants to.
17:48Yeah, well, so can Susan.
17:51Do you know what?
17:52I've just remembered that I promised to pick my heart up some crisps.
17:55Hold on a minute.
17:56Back in a bit, then.
17:59It's gutted.
18:00Fire's gone right through it.
18:01I might as well knock it down and start again.
18:03It's terrible. It was such a lovely house.
18:05I must have nearly caught hold.
18:06Yeah.
18:07Any idea what caused it?
18:08No, I haven't looked yet.
18:09I bet it was faulty wiring, something like that.
18:11I thought you just said it rewind.
18:12I had.
18:13Someone could have done it on purpose.
18:14No.
18:15Why would anyone want to burn George's ass down?
18:17It could be like road rage.
18:18You upset someone, you think it's nothing.
18:20All of a sudden, they're going mental.
18:21I bet it was an accident.
18:22Yeah, well, if it wasn't, they'll let you know soon enough.
18:24I'm going to go and find Ian, see if he's had a better day.
18:27He didn't. He lost the kids.
18:29They've given Cindy custody.
18:30That's what I've heard.
18:31I can't believe that.
18:33It's terrible. It can't be right.
18:35When did you find out?
18:36About five minutes ago.
18:38Well, why didn't you tell me?
18:39I'll see you later.
18:40Well, how's Cathy taking it?
18:42I don't know.
18:43Right, I'm going to see her.
18:44Why?
18:45What do you mean, why?
18:46It's got nothing to do with you.
18:47She's a friend.
18:49Let Cathy be, Grant.
18:50She needs some time.
18:54All right, I'll put you on the phone.
18:55Book a room somewhere.
18:56You don't have to go to a hotel.
18:57You can stay here.
18:58You sure?
18:59It'd be my pleasure.
19:00Thanks.
19:02For a while, I thought I'd never be able to manage on my own again.
19:04Must be nice having your family around you.
19:06Yeah, it is.
19:07I swear to you, the head on that beer was two inches,
19:09not three inches.
19:10That's not a pint, is it?
19:11Yeah.
19:13No, it isn't.
19:14It means a lot to me.
19:15Yeah, it's not.
19:16I mean, what happens when they bring in EEC regulations, eh?
19:18Where are we all going to be then?
19:20I'll tell you.
19:21Up the proverbial Rhine without a paddle.
19:23You remember Butter?
19:24You remember what happened there?
19:25Yeah.
19:26Yeah.
19:27Butter Ben Nevis'.
19:28That's what we got.
19:29More tea?
19:30I'll go make some, shall I?
19:33Look, where are we going?
19:35We're not going back.
19:36We've got to.
19:37No, we haven't.
19:38I don't want to sit around listening to that all day.
19:41Have you ever broken a promise?
19:42Yeah, yeah, of course I have.
19:44I don't believe you.
19:45Not one that mattered anyway.
19:46Look, can we just go back?
19:47No.
19:48I don't want to share you with him, look.
19:49Well, where are we going then?
19:50Anywhere.
19:53Come on.
19:56At least you've got friends to keep you busy in
19:57while you're sorting out an appeal.
19:59Where do you mean?
20:00Well, if you didn't have the business,
20:01the restaurant and the council elections,
20:02you'd just sit here and go crazy.
20:04I don't care about any of that.
20:05Not now.
20:06I bet in a couple of days you'll be glad you've got so much on.
20:08Yeah, well, I'm through with it all.
20:09You can't give up, you know.
20:10Well, I have.
20:11I think we should be careful what we say in front of these.
20:13I'll take them upstairs, get them ready for bed,
20:15and I'll take Ben home.
20:16Right, it's all right.
20:17Come on, you three, bath time.
20:19Come on.
20:20We can watch that later.
20:25Did the judge have a breakdown or was someone paying him?
20:27Well, the guy she's with's not short.
20:29This is a nightmare.
20:30We've got to get him involved in the council elections again.
20:32We can't let all his hard work go to waste.
20:34Yeah, he'll probably take his mind off things.
20:36Do you want to go over the road for a drink?
20:38Yes, I think we need to talk.
20:40OK.
20:41Look, Ros, I don't have a lot of money,
20:43but what I've got you can have.
20:44Just get those kids back for Ian.
20:46I'm going to do my best.
20:50You know it's rehearsal tonight?
20:52I told you I couldn't come.
20:53Yeah, so did I.
20:54No, you didn't.
20:55Yes, I did.
20:56I phoned you, told you I was sick.
20:58Well, you're not sick.
20:59Well, of course I'm not.
21:00Everyone knows.
21:01It's just an excuse.
21:03We have to rehearse.
21:04Hope you will do well.
21:05Make it up over the weekend.
21:06Oh, yeah.
21:07I'm not playing Queen Victoria anymore.
21:09Why not?
21:10I don't think the part's big enough.
21:11What?
21:12Well, Pat's going to do it, aren't you, Pat?
21:14Yeah, I know the words.
21:15Yeah, but you can't anyway.
21:16The costume fits her better than it does me, doesn't it?
21:18Yeah.
21:19I think it's not like this at the RSC.
21:21Listen, do you think Cathy's going to show?
21:23Oh, I don't know.
21:24I wish we could do something for her and Ian.
21:26Sure.
21:28Phil, what do you want?
21:29I'll have an orange juice.
21:30I'll have an orange juice, please.
21:32Did you hear about Ian?
21:33Yeah, poor kid.
21:34It's obviously not his lucky day.
21:36You're all yours.
21:37No, I'll get over that.
21:38It's just an inconvenience.
21:39What was that?
21:40Georgie's ass got burnt down.
21:42Yeah, if it was a car, it'd be a write-off.
21:44Well, how'd that happen?
21:45Well, we'll wait till here.
21:46I'll come out of it, OK, one way or another.
21:48I'll make sure of that.
21:50Listen, I'll get you a drink like this.
21:52I've forgotten to do.
21:54Have you seen Gra?
21:55Yeah, he went to get some fresh air.
21:57Said he'd be back in a minute.
21:59Ian should never have had her back after the first time she left.
22:02I mean, that should have been it.
22:03And then there'd be no Lucy and Peter.
22:05You know what I mean.
22:06It was hardly a marriage made in heaven, was it?
22:08Which marriages are?
22:10Most of us just muddle through, don't we?
22:12Yeah, but it doesn't have to be like that, does it?
22:15Why not?
22:16Sometimes you have to settle for things that aren't perfect.
22:19But you're not prepared to do that with Phil.
22:21That's right, I'm not.
22:23Because we shouldn't have to.
22:25It was better than that.
22:28For a time, it was like that with me and Sharon.
22:30And once you've had it like that, well...
22:33Muddling through just ain't really good enough.
22:35That's what it feels like now.
22:37Well, just give it time.
22:39Maybe things will sort themselves out.
22:42It's not just that.
22:44What else is it, then?
22:49It's nothing, forget it.
22:52Look, er...
22:54I'd better get back.
23:03Balakir's doing life.
23:05Nice one.
23:06He's a mean guy.
23:07You've spoken to him?
23:08Yeah.
23:09And?
23:10He's keeping Sten.
23:11Even though he's got nothing to lose?
23:12Doesn't want to be seen as a grass.
23:14But if we get him to incriminate Cindy,
23:16Ian gets the kids back and kicks back into life.
23:19Exactly.
23:20That's why I'm going to see him again.
23:22In the nick?
23:23Yeah. Fancy coming along?
23:24OK, you never know.
23:26We might be able to offer him something to change his mind.
23:29Yeah, who knows?
23:31Is that it?
23:32Yeah.
23:33I'll see you later.
23:34All right.
23:35Doing business with her?
23:37I'm just trying to get my investment back on track.
23:39What investment?
23:40Ian Beale.
23:41At the moment, he's about as much use to me as tonic without gin.
23:44Are you trying to pull something?
23:45Just a few favours, that's all.
23:47Why don't you just back off and let it go?
23:49We've got enough problems as it is.
23:50Problems?
23:51What problems?
23:52Your old man's house being fired.
23:53You heard?
23:54Yeah, of course I heard.
23:55It's the other mob, isn't it?
23:56No.
23:57It was an accident.
23:58They think faulty wiring.
24:00Don't worry about it.
24:01Besides, I need the money.
24:03What for?
24:04I'm thinking of buying George out of this place.
24:06What?
24:07It's all under control, Phil.
24:08You can't afford this place.
24:10I can with the extra income.
24:13You've lost it.
24:15You really have lost it.
24:17Yeah!
24:18Nice one.
24:19You will get these.
24:20Terry's been drinking your beer all night.
24:21What will it be?
24:22A pint, please, and yours is lorries juice, yeah?
24:24Yeah, thanks.
24:27They're not what I expected.
24:29No?
24:30She's quite nice.
24:31He's very boring.
24:33Eternally boring.
24:35What about Matthew and Sarah?
24:37They're smarter than us.
24:38Mike?
24:39Mike.
24:40George's yours, is it?
24:42Yeah, yeah.
24:43Coming right up, Mike.
24:48Woo!
24:49Well done, Pauline.
24:51I did it.
24:52Oh, gosh, Kathy, we're so...
24:54You have no right to beer.
24:55Just checking the arrangements.
24:56Well, talk to my solicitor, then.
24:58Oh, what's this?
24:59A nice, cosy night in front of the fire with the kids.
25:02My kids.
25:03We could have you back in court for this.
25:05Do what you want.
25:06You've got to hand over my kids tomorrow,
25:08and what I do with them from now on is my business.
25:17Yes!
25:20That was just lovely.
25:22There's no such thing.
25:23Hey, who's for another drink?
25:25No, I'm all right, thanks. I'm not going to get off.
25:27You sure?
25:32I think I put my foot in it the other night about Kathy going away.
25:35You did that on purpose, you can't kid me.
25:37Maybe I did.
25:38Maybe I don't want her to go.
25:40What's going to happen with her house?
25:42I ain't sure.
25:43I thought it might come back to you,
25:44and if it did, you'd want a lodger to keep you company.
25:47Yeah, I would.
25:49I know the perfect one.
25:51Well, I know the perfect two, but they're both going to South Africa.
25:54I'm not interested in any of the others.
25:58For several nights, she's placed food at the entrance to traps like this
26:03to encourage squirrels to visit the area.
26:06Now, they're invited to come inside.
26:09The aim is to carry out random checks on the health of the population as a whole,
26:13not just those carrying radio tags.
26:16Jessica will return next morning.
26:22DOOR CREAKS
26:45You all set, then?
26:47No, haven't done a thing.
26:49You're leaving a bit late, aren't you?
26:51Having second thoughts?
26:53Well, that's understandable.
26:55I don't think I'm ready for this.
26:57Kath, only you can know that, love.
26:59I'm going to miss you.
27:01Ian, my friends, England.
27:05And?
27:07What else?
27:08Is there some other reason you don't want to go?
27:11Not a reason, no.
27:13What, then?
27:15A person.
27:17There's someone I don't want to leave behind.
27:19Who?
27:21Kathy, who?
