00:00♪
00:28Come on.
00:38Bin liners, Nigel. I don't mean the flimsy things what they sell in there.
00:42I want thick ones, you know, like what gardeners put their compost in.
00:46Roger, I'm a seeker.
00:47And you won't forget, will you, that you promised to collect me cabinets?
00:50No, I'll do that this afternoon.
00:51Now then, that's a bin liner.
00:54Oh, carpet powder deodoriser,
00:56cos you never know what them boys might have trod into me floors.
00:59The main thing is to get your stuff over there, Mrs Heaton.
01:01Worry about your carpet once you're settled.
01:03Organisation, Nigel.
01:04You'll be going through like yourself when you and Claire move to Scotland.
01:07Yeah, I suppose you're right.
01:09You can never be too prepared.
01:10Now, I'm going back to wrap up me breakables.
01:14You're going, then?
01:15Yeah.
01:16I know what I said, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life
01:19wondering what might have been.
01:20Well, good luck to you, miss.
01:21Cheers.
01:22Mark, what do you get her?
01:24Eh?
01:25For you and Ruth, your anniversary.
01:27Is it today?
01:28Yeah, it's three years.
01:29Well?
01:30Well, nothing yet.
01:31Oh, Mark.
01:32You've got to do something for your anniversary.
01:34Don't you start.
01:35Me and his dad never forgot.
01:37Yeah, me and Debbie always remembered.
01:38Then again, we only had one anniversary.
01:40Look, I didn't forget.
01:41I just haven't had time, that's all.
01:43Well, you make the time, do you hear me?
01:45Yes, Mum.
01:47Can you fix it?
01:49Can you fix it?
01:51Honestly?
01:53No.
01:54I thought you were meant to be good at this sort of thing.
01:56Well, I'm sorry,
01:57but you're going to need a qualified plumber for this one.
01:59Oh, great, that is all I need.
02:01Do you know how much these people charge?
02:03Well, don't worry about it.
02:04I'll call around for you.
02:05I'll get you the lowest rate.
02:06Thanks.
02:08It's not Mark's birthday, is it?
02:09Oh, no, it's our anniversary.
02:12And you bought him boxer shorts.
02:15Why?
02:16Is it wrong?
02:17No.
02:18Well, I just thought
02:20the man was supposed to buy sexy lingerie for his wife.
02:26She should have been born today.
02:28Do you think we should mark the occasion somehow?
02:30I don't want to pretend it never happened.
02:32Neither do I.
02:33Even your dad sent her a card.
02:36You really want to go, don't you?
02:37I want both of us to go.
02:39I don't feel I give you the time off.
02:41I've already cleared it with him.
02:43Please.
02:45I suppose it can't hurt to put some flowers down for her.
02:48All right, I'll pick you up later.
02:51Do you feel any better?
02:52Yeah, much better.
02:53Listen, what are you doing tonight?
02:55I don't know.
02:56Why, do you want to go for a drink?
02:57Why don't we try the new Italian place?
02:59It's opening night, it'll be quite a crowd.
03:01Are you sure you're up to it?
03:02I said I'm fine.
03:03So, do you want to come?
03:04Yeah, of course I do.
03:05Right, let's settle down.
03:08Phil.
03:09What are you doing round here?
03:10I work here, in case you forgot.
03:12Sorry, I just didn't expect to see you.
03:14You're not avoiding me, are you?
03:15No, of course not.
03:16Morning.
03:17Morning.
03:18Maybe I'll see you later.
03:19Yeah, maybe.
03:21Something I said?
03:22No, nothing.
03:24So, how's Mum?
03:25Oh, only said two words to me all weekend.
03:27Still cut up about George, is she?
03:29I don't suppose you fancy having a whirl with her, do you?
03:31And say what? I mean, she bangs at both of us.
03:34Yeah, you ain't got to live with her, though, have you?
03:36Well, she's bound to be upset.
03:37I mean, she was with him long enough, wasn't she?
03:39There must be something we can do to cheer her up.
03:41I think the best thing we can do is stay out of her way.
03:44And that's it, is it? That's the master plan?
03:46Well, just give her time, Mum.
03:48She's forgiven us for worse things in the past, has she?
03:57Any luck?
03:59Can't make it until tomorrow, I'm afraid.
04:01But, er, you can wait that long, can't you?
04:03Looks like I've not got any choice.
04:06So, what did Mer get you, then?
04:08Sorry?
04:09For your anniversary.
04:10Oh, er, I haven't seen him yet.
04:12He was hopping out before I was awake.
04:15Men are always bad with anniversaries.
04:17It's something they teach us at school.
04:19I didn't say he'd forgotten.
04:21Well, you don't have to worry about me tonight.
04:23I'll be out of your way.
04:24I thought I'd go over to the new Italian.
04:26Look, you don't have to go because of us.
04:28No, I was going anyway.
04:29Leave you to the place to yourselves, at least.
04:31Thanks.
04:32And, er, I tell you what,
04:33I'll knock loudly three times if I come back early.
04:36You don't need to bother with that.
04:38It's not straight.
04:39It's not meant to be straight.
04:40You want it on an angle.
04:42Why?
04:43You can't give people nickings.
04:45How's everything going?
04:46Annie, tell them.
04:47Tell them what?
04:48The sign should be on an angle.
04:49Oh, leave me out of this one.
04:51Everything going to be ready in time?
04:53With a bit of luck and if this lazy lot get a move on.
04:55You are going to be here tonight, aren't you?
04:56Of course. I won't miss it for the world.
04:58Actually, Dad, he was going to stop over at the weekend.
05:00He's a bit busy with work at the moment.
05:02He's going to be here, isn't he?
05:03The local press are coming and I wanted him to handle it.
05:05Relax, Rosa.
05:06He'll be here.
05:07I'm sorry, Bianca,
05:08but I've said I'm going to cover for Mark this afternoon already.
05:10Mark? Where is he going?
05:12I don't know.
05:13He just said he was going to shoot off for a couple of hours.
05:15Please, Simon, it's important.
05:16Bianca, I can't cover three stalls at the same time.
05:18It's impossible.
05:19I wanted to go to the cemetery with Ricky.
05:21She would have been born today.
05:23I'm sorry.
05:27Get up, Mark.
05:28Do it, though.
05:29What about the new Italian place?
05:31I don't know.
05:32Get up, Mark.
05:33Do it, though.
05:34What about the new Italian place?
05:36What about it?
05:37You and Ruth, your anniversary.
05:38Yeah, maybe.
05:39It might be a bit crowded, though.
05:40Perhaps you should find somewhere with a quiet table in the corner
05:42and then go up to pictures afterwards.
05:43Nigel, we're not a couple of 13-year-olds.
05:45We've been married for three years.
05:46Yeah, I know, but you've got to do something, haven't you?
05:47Yeah, I know that.
05:48So stop sounding like me mum, will you?
05:53See this?
05:54I got a letter from an old mate of mine.
05:55He's living out in Cyprus now.
05:57Are you listening to me?
05:59What's that?
06:00An old mate of mine.
06:01I haven't heard from him in years.
06:02Yeah, very nice.
06:04I'll talk to him myself, shall I?
06:08You all right, mum?
06:09I wouldn't have been.
06:11I was just asking.
06:12I'll make a start on bottling up.
06:15I just thought it would be a nice gesture to go with your dad
06:17to help him pick out the suit.
06:18Yeah, well, I can't. I'm too busy.
06:20Well, you can get someone to cover this thing for half an hour.
06:22I'm already covering for Mark this afternoon.
06:24If I weren't doing that, I'd be helping Bianca out.
06:26Bianca?
06:27What's she doing that's more important than your own dad's wedding?
06:29If you must know, she wanted to go and visit her daughter's grave.
06:32Believe it or not, Irene, there are more important things in this life
06:34than you and dad getting hitched.
06:38Did you tell him what it was for?
06:39He doesn't care, does he?
06:40Shall I go and have a word with him?
06:41Oh, Ricky, please, leave it. Can't we go tomorrow?
06:43Well, it's not the same, is it?
06:44You know, it was today she was meant to be born, not tomorrow.
06:47Look, why don't you take a few hours off the store?
06:49You know, forget about the money.
06:50This means more than a few quid.
06:52Yeah, I know.
06:53Do you want something?
06:54I could do it for you.
06:55Eh?
06:56Look after the store for you.
06:57I could do it for a few hours.
06:58You?
06:59You don't have to pay me.
07:00I thought you already had a job.
07:02It's my day off, really. I don't mind helping out.
07:04Why would you want to help me out?
07:06I'm a mother. Simon just told me about it.
07:08I just thought I'd offer.
07:10Thanks.
07:11Are you serious?
07:12It can't be that difficult, can it?
07:15It's on the house.
07:16Oh, cheers.
07:18Are you sure about this, you know, going up to Scotland?
07:20Yeah, of course.
07:22Well, it's a big decision, Nigel.
07:23I mean, what are you going to do for a job?
07:24Something I'll turn up.
07:25Yeah, and what if you don't?
07:26Why are you being so negative?
07:27I thought you'd be happy for me.
07:28I am. I'm just being realistic.
07:30You were the one that kept telling me to go for it with Julie.
07:32Yeah, but I didn't realise she was actually
07:34going to drag my best mate out of the country.
07:36It ain't that far.
07:37No, you're right.
07:38And if it don't work out, you can always come home now I'm done.
07:40Why wouldn't it work out?
07:42Oh, you and Julie, you don't know each other that well, do you?
07:44We know a lot about each other.
07:46Man, you'd never live together.
07:47You don't think she'd go off me, do you?
07:49Well, you might go off her.
07:50Doubt it.
07:51I'm only joking, Nigel.
07:52Well, you ready?
07:53I'm happy for the both of you.
07:54Yes, mate.
07:55Oh, I thought I'd find you in here.
07:57I've rung that man about the cabinet,
07:59and if you don't get there before 5.30, you'll be shut.
08:01Mrs C, it's not even 12 yet.
08:03I'm only warning you.
08:05I've got to go.
08:06Now, don't forget.
08:09She's hardly moving some bags down the road.
08:11She's driving me round a bend.
08:12Any news on the missing link?
08:14Nick?
08:15No, he's well gone by now, with any luck.
08:17Yeah, well, Dot won't have you to protect her any more, will she?
08:19Dot will be all right.
08:21She's going to miss you, Nigel, and you know it.
08:24Thank you very much.
08:25Cheers.
08:26Hiya.
08:27Hi.
08:28Everything OK?
08:29Well, the kitchen's leaking, but Connor's sorting it out.
08:32It's not too serious, is it?
08:33No, the plumber comes tomorrow.
08:34Do you want me to try and get someone today?
08:36Well, this is the cheapest Connor phone round.
08:38Connor saves the day again.
08:40He's only trying to help.
08:41Yeah, I know.
08:42Um, happy anniversary, by the way.
08:44Yeah, and you.
08:45Oh, here.
08:48Oh, you're lovely.
08:50Thanks.
08:51See you tonight, then?
08:52Yeah, yeah, I'll see you.
08:57Do us out a bunch, will you, love?
08:58Yes.
09:00When do you think you're going?
09:01For a walk.
09:02Well, what about helping the rest of us?
09:04You tell her.
09:05If she wants to go.
09:06You see, there's nothing less to do.
09:08You can help your brother in the kitchen.
09:10Hey, what happened to the light?
09:12Not again.
09:13Stupid fuse box.
09:14What have you done?
09:15I'm out of here.
09:16Tracer!
09:17It just sparked and I was there.
09:18I thought you'd fixed it.
09:19I thought I did.
09:20That's it.
09:21Forget everything.
09:22We are not opening tonight.
09:23We will.
09:24I give up!
09:25Mum!
09:26Cheers, Simon.
09:27I shouldn't be long.
09:28Yeah, no worries.
09:29Look, if you have any trouble, just give us a shout at you.
09:31I'm capable of running this thing for a couple of hours.
09:33Of course you are, sweetheart.
09:34Yeah, well, Bianca asked me to keep an eye out.
09:36That's all I'm doing.
09:37What are you doing, Mum?
09:38I'm doing a favour for Ricky and Bianca, if you must know.
09:40You don't know anything about running a stall.
09:42Yeah, I tried to point that out.
09:43I'm not completely useless.
09:44Anyway, what are you doing round here?
09:46I thought you had jobs to do yourselves.
09:48We're celebrating.
09:49So we're on a long lunch.
09:51Did you see this?
09:52What about it?
09:53It was mine and Polly's story.
09:55Yeah, well, I read it.
09:56It was very good.
09:57Thanks.
09:58It's about a local woman.
09:59What's she done?
10:00Won the lottery?
10:01Killed her husband in self-defence.
10:02Got away with it, did she?
10:04Well, I wouldn't exactly say that, but she's not in prison.
10:07Law's a joke.
10:08He'd been beating her up for years.
10:10And you two wrote this depressing article, did you?
10:12It's real life.
10:14Yeah, sometimes husbands hit their wives.
10:16Doesn't mean I want to read about it over breakfast.
10:18Can't you two write about some lighter stories?
10:20You know, about dogs rescuing children in caves or something?
10:23Mrs Walford, there aren't any caves.
10:25But you know what I mean.
10:26Something quirky about cute animals.
10:28People love to read about animals.
10:30We'll see what we can do, Mrs Hills.
10:32Just a suggestion.
10:33Right then, I'd better go off and get measured.
10:35See you later, darling.
10:37Take care.
10:39Get your hands off me.
10:40I'd appreciate it if you kept your little remarks to yourself.
10:43Sir, can I take it that you haven't told Irene everything that happened between you and Mum?
10:46That was a long time ago.
10:47Long enough for the bruises to heal.
10:49I'm warning you, boy.
10:53So how long's he been out in Cyprus?
10:55He's just moved out there.
10:56Once I've been to give him a hand, set up this bar he's just bought.
10:59You going to do it?
11:00Cyprus? I can't see it happening, really.
11:02Tiffany put her foot down, did she?
11:03I haven't sold her.
11:04Why not? Maybe they'll both hit your guy out.
11:06I'm not leaving Mum to run this place, no, right? Not at the moment.
11:09To us.
11:10I don't feel right celebrating, Samuel.
11:12Why not? It was a good piece and she got off.
11:14Yeah, but what she went through all those years.
11:16Well, served him right, if you ask me.
11:18You read it?
11:19Yep, and I thought it was really good.
11:20Oh, thanks, dear.
11:21Men are pigs, aren't they?
11:22Well, not all like that.
11:23What I don't understand is why she stuck it for all those years.
11:26I mean, I've been out there like a shot.
11:27Well, you've obviously never been married, then.
11:29He was beating her black and blue for 15 years.
11:32How could you love someone like that?
11:36Is it all right?
11:38Not really.
11:40It's her opening night tonight, isn't it?
11:41If we ever open at all.
11:43Last minute panic.
11:45I've got a daughter who doesn't want to be anywhere near the place.
11:47One son who's too busy to help,
11:49and another who's hell-bent on blowing up everything in sight.
11:52I'm sure it'll be ready in time.
11:53I wish I had your confidence.
11:55And besides, what if we are ready and no one shows up?
11:58Oh, of course they will.
11:59I'll be there and I've heard other people talking about it.
12:01Really?
12:02Believe me, you're worrying yourself over nothing.
12:05I just wish my husband was here.
12:08He'd sort everything out.
12:09Get the kids in order, get the restaurant up and running.
12:11Where is he, if you don't mind me asking?
12:14He died earlier this year.
12:16Oh, I'm sorry.
12:18He had a stroke.
12:20One minute we was laughing at something in the newspaper,
12:22next minute...
12:23It must be healthy.
12:26I'm just having one of those moments when I really need him.
12:30I want the restaurant to be perfect.
12:32I want to do everything the way he'd have done it.
12:34Make Giuseppe's the sort of place he'd want to run.
12:36I'm sure I'd be very proud.
12:38Whatever happens tonight.
12:42It all needs replacing, in my opinion.
12:44I got you round here to fix it, not to have an opinion.
12:46I've got to have it up and running by tonight.
12:48Well, they can patch it up, replace the fuses,
12:50but no guarantees it's going to last long.
12:52As long as you get me through tonight, I'll replace it all next week.
12:54You're going to need to, in my opinion.
12:57You get it working and you can name your price.
13:00Well, as soon as you put it all together,
13:02I'm sure you'll be happy.
13:03Name your price.
13:05Well, as soon as you put it like that.
13:09Orange juice, thanks.
13:11All right, how are you?
13:12Fed up, overworked and in need of a holiday.
13:15Like everyone else.
13:16All right, there you go.
13:17I'll get it, Tim.
13:18Oh, thanks.
13:19Don't call it justice, myself.
13:20Kill your old man and get off scot-free.
13:22Didn't you read the article? What he used to do to her?
13:24It's an exaggeration, isn't it?
13:25Oh, if it's made up.
13:26Oh, but it's all right if you want to do the other half, is it?
13:28Punching her in the face is OK in your book, isn't it?
13:30Look, if she'd ever had any sort of brain,
13:32she'd have been dead years ago.
13:33It ain't always that easy.
13:34Oh, rubbish.
13:35She married a guy, didn't she?
13:36She must have known what he was like.
13:37Oh, didn't you always get married, Barry?
13:39I suppose you knew what she was really like, did you?
13:44Ignorant pig.
13:45So, you're a journalist.
13:47Broke the front page this week, big story.
13:49Oh, it must be a good job.
13:50Yeah, it's all right.
13:51But I don't want to spend the rest of my life
13:53working on a local rag, though.
13:54Come on, it beats waitressing.
13:56I want to do something that lets me travel,
13:58see the world, you know, not just Walford.
14:00You're ambitious.
14:01Yeah, I guess you could say that.
14:09It feels strange, doesn't it?
14:11Yeah, I like you, mate.
14:14I know she never breathed on her own,
14:16but you still think of her as a real person, don't you?
14:19Yeah.
14:21Sometimes I try and imagine what she would have turned out like.
14:24You know, what bits of you, what bits of me.
14:28Probably had your temper.
14:30Your soppy grin.
14:32Your sense of humour, or lack of.
14:36Are you all right?
14:39No, not really.
14:40Come here.
14:44I'm doing some research about another big story at the moment.
14:47Oh, anything you can tell me about,
14:48or would you have to kill me afterwards?
14:50Come on, you.
14:51Am I going already?
14:52You've got all that filing to do, remember?
14:55OK.
14:56Good luck tonight.
14:57Oh, yeah, thanks.
14:59I'll, um... I'll see you there, yeah?
15:01Yeah, I look forward to it.
15:05Peggy.
15:06How are you?
15:07What do you want?
15:08White wine, thanks.
15:11Oh, I don't suppose you've heard from my dad at all?
15:14Is that some sort of a joke?
15:16I just wondered if he'd been in touch.
15:19Well, he hasn't.
15:21I take it you two still aren't talking, then?
15:23Did he send you?
15:25No. Really, he didn't.
15:27But if I see him, is there a message?
15:29You can tell him that I have nothing to say to him.
15:34They open at seven, so we'll go early, shall we?
15:37Why?
15:38To show our support.
15:39Look, I haven't finished work till six.
15:41I just want to go home, have a bath, relax,
15:43and go over a bit later.
15:44As long as it's not too late.
15:45What was all that about?
15:47We were just talking.
15:49What about?
15:50It's all right, Phil.
15:51I didn't mention that we'd slept together.
15:54That's not what I meant.
15:56I was just asking if she'd heard from her dad, that's all.
15:59He ain't done a bunk, has he?
16:00No.
16:01He's probably just busy.
16:04It's, um,
16:06about last week.
16:08You don't have to worry, Phil.
16:09I'm not going to tell anyone.
16:11I've got more important things going on in my life
16:13than boasting about sexual conquests.
16:15So you just want to forget about it?
16:17Don't you?
16:20Look, we've both had a good time.
16:22Let's not spoil it by pretending it was anything more than it was.
16:26Yeah.
16:30Is that Mark?
16:32Yeah, what's he doing here?
16:34I don't know.
16:35Come.
16:38I still reckon we would have made great parents, you know.
16:40Definitely.
16:41I mean, you know, if we ain't rich or nothing,
16:43that don't matter, does it?
16:45It's not about how many toys you can buy him, is it?
16:47She'd have loved having you as a dad.
16:49Do you reckon?
16:50Yeah.
16:51She'd have been a right little daddy's girl, I can just see it.
16:53She probably would have hated me.
16:54Oh, don't be daft.
16:55Oh, you'd have been the one spoiling her.
16:57I'd have been the one telling her to do her own work and tidy her room, innit?
17:00Why are we talking like this?
17:02What do you mean?
17:03Well, you know, like we're torturing ourselves or something,
17:05thinking about what might have been.
17:07There's nothing wrong with it.
17:08So you're not sad, then?
17:10I wish things would have been different, but we've still got each other.
17:13So I'm not sad.
17:17You fixed it?
17:18Yes, yes!
17:19Oh, hold on.
17:20Not too fast.
17:23Oh, I love you!
17:24Steady on.
17:25Right now, out me way, I've got things to get on with.
17:29Any time you need a favour, anything, you just ask me, all right?
17:32OK.
17:33Actually, there is one thing you could do for me.
17:35Name it.
17:36Suits you down to the ground, that does.
17:38Do come again.
17:39Gives you quite a buzz, taking money like that.
17:42How do you feel about Grant?
17:43Oh, he's all right, I suppose. Not bad looking.
17:45No, I meant as my best man.
17:47I thought you hated the sight of each other.
17:49Well, we do, but it's family, isn't it?
17:51He's my son-in-law. I know Tiffany'd appreciate it.
17:53Oh, at this rate, there'd just be me and you standing alone in that church.
17:56Do you realise I've not had a single RSVP yet? Not one.
18:00People are always slow to reply.
18:02Not even our close family have said they're definitely coming.
18:05You'd think people would make the effort after we've been kind enough to ask them.
18:08Everything all right?
18:09No problems at all.
18:10All right, listen, I'll see you later.
18:12So how was it? Not too upsetting?
18:14No, I'm glad I went. Thanks for your help.
18:16Oh, any time, darling.
18:18So what did you sell?
18:19T-shirts, mainly.
18:20Oh, how many?
18:21One.
18:22One?
18:23Bedroom with those, Nigel.
18:25Roger, obviously.
18:27Oh.
18:36Hey, you look nice.
18:38Thanks.
18:39Here, look what I've got.
18:41Oh, that looks good.
18:42Got it from the Italian place.
18:44Is Mark home yet?
18:45No, not yet.
18:46Well, I'll stick it in the oven. You can have it later.
18:50What, it's for us?
18:51I told you, I'm going out.
18:53Oh, thanks, Connor.
18:55You remembered that?
18:56Yeah, and I got my wee something instead of boxer shorts.
19:00I told you you wouldn't forget.
19:01You didn't remind him, did you?
19:03No.
19:04That's my heart.
19:06Seriously, Ruth, you look fantastic.
19:10Have you two made it up yet?
19:12Who?
19:13You and Bianca.
19:15Well, what's her problem?
19:16Well, she was pretty upset this afternoon that no-one would cover her stool.
19:19She'll get over it.
19:20You know what the day is today, don't you?
19:22What?
19:24The baby was due today.
19:26Her and Ricky wanted to go and visit the grave.
19:28Well, why didn't someone tell me?
19:30I think she was trying to.
19:32You'd better go and apologise.
19:34Well, why don't you have a word with Annie?
19:36What about?
19:37Well, get her to talk to George and get him to sort it out with Mum.
19:40Well, from what I can make out, George ain't too pleased with Annie either.
19:43It's got to be worth a try.
19:44Why don't you just try and keep her out of Mum's way for a bit?
19:47I can't, can I?
19:48She's driving me up the wall.
19:50I really didn't know.
19:51I'm sorry.
19:52It's all right.
19:53I should have arranged things sooner.
19:55What were you doing there anyway?
19:56Where?
19:57The cemetery.
19:58Me and Ricky saw you.
19:59I was just putting some flowers down for me Dad and Gran.
20:02Was it an anniversary or something?
20:04No.
20:05Just one of those days when I really felt like going.
20:10Right, that's the cabin.
20:11It's up, Mrs C.
20:12Took you long enough.
20:13The man in the shop said it was a five-minute job.
20:16The instructions were wrong.
20:18Anyway, they put too many pieces in the box.
20:20I hope that thing ain't going to fall on my head in the middle of the night.
20:23It's perfectly safe, Mrs C.
20:24Just don't put anything heavy on the shelves.
20:27It's going to be funny living here.
20:29You do like it there, don't you?
20:31Oh yes, don't get me wrong.
20:33But houses are living things.
20:35They're like people.
20:37Sometimes they make you welcome, sometimes they don't.
20:39Houses.
20:40I've got personalities.
20:41And this flat likes you, does it?
20:43Well, let's just say I think I'm going to be out for a year.
20:45That's good.
20:46I'd hate to worry about you.
20:48We're moving on, Nigel.
20:50You and me both.
20:51Yeah, but we'll still keep in touch, won't we?
20:54Will we?
20:55I promise.
20:56You'll have a new life.
20:58You and Julie.
20:59That doesn't mean that me and Claire are going to forget about you.
21:02I've been on my own before, Nigel.
21:04I know what to expect.
21:05You're not going to be on your own, Mrs C.
21:07You're only five minutes from the square.
21:08And we're bound to meet new friends around here.
21:10We'll see.
21:12So, how'd it go?
21:13Yeah, it was all right.
21:14I'm really pleased that Ricky made me go.
21:15I thought he'd really upset me.
21:17No, he didn't.
21:18No, it was nice.
21:19Ricky was great.
21:20He said all the right things.
21:21Look, I've got to go.
21:22All right.
21:23Do you want another drink?
21:25All right.
21:27What was that for?
21:28Never you mind.
21:30Same again, please, Trace.
21:32If you, er...
21:33Do you want some company with that beer, Mark?
21:35You what?
21:36I'm just a bit short at the moment, that's all.
21:38And whatever he wants, yeah?
21:40Please, er, bye.
21:41You two are still coming tonight, aren't you?
21:43Do you want to?
21:44Of course he does.
21:45Oh, look, don't bully him.
21:46I'm not.
21:47But I need to get out, just like me and you.
21:49I think we'll have a quiet night in, Tiff.
21:51I'll be.
21:52Then maybe I should stay here tonight with Mum, you know, just in case he gets busy.
21:54Well, I ain't going out on my own.
21:56Look, we can go out another night.
21:57Look, I've got to get out of this place tonight, and you are coming with me.
22:01Are we ready?
22:02As we'll ever be.
22:03Who's going to do the honour?
22:04Why don't you do it, Rosa?
22:05Are you sure?
22:06Go on, Mum.
22:12I now declare Giuseppe's open.
22:23Well, let's hope it picks up.
22:26Hey, very smart.
22:29Thanks.
22:30Mark not home yet?
22:31No.
22:33Do you want me to go and look for him?
22:35I'm sure he won't be long.
22:37Right then.
22:38I'll get out of your way.
22:40You sure you don't want a wee glass of wine before you go?
22:42I want us to get there before the rush.
22:44Yeah, of course you do.
22:47Go on, then.
22:48Just one glass.
22:50Are you going to be all right then, Mrs C?
22:51I'll be fine.
22:52What about your tea?
22:53Have you got any food in?
22:54Oh, don't worry.
22:55I'll nip down the shops later on.
22:56I'll walk to the supermarket with you now.
22:58It's just down the road.
22:59Well, if you're sure, it ain't no trouble.
23:00I'm not going to let you starve, Mrs C.
23:02I'll just get my coat.
23:11Are you sure you don't want me to go and look for him?
23:21Look, he'll be back soon.
23:23Look, you go off to your restaurant if you want.
23:25I'm in no hurry.
23:27But if Mark asks, don't tell him I got the food.
23:30Why not?
23:32I just don't want it to look like I'm interfering.
23:34Why, what has he said to you?
23:36Nothing.
23:38At least you bothered to do something.
23:41Just forget I said anything.
23:43Oh, I bet this looks really pathetic, doesn't it?
23:45What's that?
23:46Me sitting here, wondering whether Mark will show up or not.
23:50You and Mark will be fine.
23:53I just wanted to spend an evening together for a change.
23:57I guess I wanted to see if I was missing anything.
24:00If there was anything still there.
24:02Of course there is.
24:04I don't know if that's true.
24:07Looks like I'm not going to find out tonight.
24:10It's still early.
24:37Come to Walford.
24:39Make a new start, it'll be a success.
24:41That's enough from you.
24:42And where's George Palmer?
24:43Can't even be bothered to show up at his own restaurant?
24:45Never mind about him.
24:46Where's your brother when we need him?
24:47Oh, yeah.
24:48There's a mad rush on, isn't there?
24:49Can't manage without Beppe, can we?
24:51Can I go out?
24:52No.
24:55Oh, climbing.
24:56Not too early, are we?
24:57No, not at all.
24:58Come in, sit down, take a seat, any way you like.
25:00Drink's on the house.
25:02Oh, well, I think we can be persuaded.
25:04Yes.
25:07I don't know how to help things with me being in the way.
25:09You are not in the way.
25:11Is that what Mark thinks, too?
25:13Look, the problem is me and Mark.
25:15We were going the wrong way before you showed up.
25:17Well, if you want to change things,
25:18then one of you is going to have to make the first move.
25:20Well, what does it look like I'm doing?
25:22Finally.
25:23What I don't understand is why you've left it so long.
25:26Oh, so I'm the problem, am I?
25:29That's not what I said.
25:31As far as I can make out, you both are.
25:33You know your marriage isn't working.
25:35Neither of you is making much effort to change it.
25:37Maybe it's too late.
25:39Then get out of it.
25:41Stop torturing one another.
25:43Get out and do what?
25:45I can't meet anyone else.
25:47Ruth, you're young, you're funny, and you're beautiful.
25:51If Mark can't see that, then he's a fool.
25:57Hi.
26:02Mark!
26:06Dad, it's me.
26:08This is the third message I've left you.
26:10Rosa really wants you to be here tonight.
26:12I think it'll mean a lot to her.
26:14If you're not going to come, can you at least ring me back and give me an excuse?
26:35All right.
26:46I'm home.
27:06I'm home.
27:11I'm home.
