00:00I'm not sure he's going to be up for all the fuss.
00:25Exactly.
00:26That's why it'll be so funny.
00:28Is this his birthday or yours?
00:30Well, you know what Ronnie's like.
00:32He'll soak and mourn and say he hates it, until he's had a few drinks, and then he'll
00:35love it.
00:36But before that point, I get to enjoy watching him suffer.
00:42You two have a very strange relationship.
00:43Oh, well, what do you do, Ron, Ron, Ron?
00:46Oh, you're diddling.
00:47Oh, yeah, I'm, uh, I'm diddling OK, actually.
00:51Seriously?
00:54As a prize pie.
00:55Oh, what?
00:56How could you possibly?
00:59You left your laptop open on a website for happy birthday balloons.
01:03That could be for anyone, that.
01:06Happy 55th birthday balloons.
01:09Plum in it.
01:11You totally spoilt her for reveling in my humiliation, more like.
01:15It wasn't just going to be humiliation.
01:17There was going to be cake and all.
01:19In fact, I was just about to nip into time to that wonderful bakery you like.
01:24Oh, you mean that place that does the cronuts?
01:28That's the one.
01:29But, well, I don't need to bother now, do I?
01:31Oh, no, no, no.
01:32Yes, you have to bother.
01:33Uh, look, if, uh, you can, um, yeah, wait, start for an hour, I'll, uh, take you there
01:40myself.
01:41Why, thank you.
01:42What was I thinking?
01:43A surprise party.
01:44This is much easier.
01:45I'll be a toe of Kev's.
01:46Mwah.
01:47Ta-ta, Red.
01:48Ta-ra.
01:49What a woman, eh?
01:50What a woman.
01:51Hiya.
01:52Hi.
01:53Can I have a word?
01:54Is everything okay?
01:55Yeah, just, uh, hoping you can help me with some initial inquiries.
01:57Initial inquiries?
01:58Well, do we have to go down to the, uh, station or what?
01:59To be honest, I'm gasping for a nice cup of coffee.
02:00Can we do it in here?
02:01Yeah.
02:02Oh, oh, who's left...
02:03Oh, who's left, oh, no, no.
02:04Oh, no, no, no.
02:05Oh, no, no.
02:06Oh, no, no, no.
02:07Oh, no, no, no, no.
02:08Oh, no, no, no, no.
02:09Oh, no, no, no, no.
02:10Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
02:11Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
02:12Oh, no, no, no, no.
02:14Oh, oh, who's left...
02:15Oh, who's left this glass here?
02:16Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry.
02:17It's me.
02:18I need a glass of water behind my bed
02:19or I can't get to sleep.
02:20It's a sofa, not a bed.
02:21She's got you there.
02:22Yeah, all right.
02:23I'm sorry.
02:24Look, when I get this, uh, flat confirmed,
02:25I'll be out of your hair, all right?
02:26Well, why aren't you sleeping
02:27on the blow-up mattress of Gary and Sarah's?
02:28Because it's got more holes in it
02:29than something that's got a load of holes in it.
02:30Swiss cheese.
02:31Oh, a porcupine's backpack.
02:32Oh, yeah, right, very funny.
02:33Look, it's got, uh...
02:34It's got, uh...
02:35It's got, uh...
02:36Oh, a porcupine's backpack.
02:37Yeah, right, very funny.
02:38Look, I'll do that.
02:39I'll do that.
02:40No, it's done now.
02:41Yeah, will you just shove them in the wash for me?
02:42Oh, you know, you two are annoyingly similar.
02:43Mm-hmm.
02:44Mm-hmm.
02:45Hmm.
02:46Boo Fest.
02:47Hmm.
02:48Hmm.
02:49Hmm.
02:50Both devilishly witty and fit, aren't we?
02:51Both devilishly witty and fit, aren't we?
02:52No, like annoying
02:53both devilishly witty and fit, aren't we?
02:54like something that's really annoying.
02:55Hmm.
02:56Hmm.
02:57How's Sam's hand?
02:58Hmm.
02:59Hmm.
03:00Hmm.
03:01Huh.
03:02What?
03:04How's Sam's hand?
03:06Er... It's fine, you know.
03:09If you're all right, it's just... he's got a scar and...
03:12Oh, no, never mind.
03:14What do you mean?
03:16It's... it's not that scar tissue I'm worried about.
03:20Well, what is it?
03:23It's the anniversary of Natasha's death today.
03:27Right.
03:30Um...
03:32I know Leanne's known Sam as long as I have, and...
03:36she's his mum, but...
03:38You're his dad. Yeah.
03:42You know, dropping him off there yesterday killed me.
03:46Yeah. It's like that thing that Mum used to say, innit?
03:50It's like having an elastic band connected from your heart to your kids.
03:55Bit gross, innit?
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... He 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
04:22by coming here and, well, seeing 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, bought some telly, went 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-cut when I'm drinking frothy coffee.
04:52Oh, how lovely, his birthday.
04:54It's your birthday?
04:55Oh, it's your birthday.
04:57You really don't have to go around telling everybody.
04:59You should have said. I'd have given you extra sprinkles.
05:02Many happy returns.
05:05Do you know what time Didi and Michael leave for work today?
05:08I will if you hurry. You might catch them at ours.
05:10Didi came round for breakfast.
05:12Right you are.
05:13Ta.
05:23I told them we were in the house all night.
05:26And when did they back you up?
05:28Well, they were asleep when we left.
05:30You sure?
05:32Yes, I'm sure.
05:36I just don't get why you're here.
05:38Ta.
05:39Has she sent you to be like cannon fodder?
05:41Well, in a nutshell, yeah. Once more into the breach.
05:44I wanted to come to try and smooth the waters.
05:47Or you could just keep out of things that don't concern you.
05:50Oh, David.
05:51I just don't get why she didn't call me back.
05:54Well, the simple reason is she's ignoring your calls.
05:58Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:59Gail doesn't ignore my calls. I ignore hers.
06:02Can I just say I'm finding you a tad hostile.
06:05Hostile? Really?
06:07She's trying to make my family homeless.
06:09She's allowed to sell her house.
06:12Yes, and I told her to give me a chance to raise the money.
06:16But would she wait? No.
06:18She's far too busy posting pictures of you and her by the seaside
06:21and your flip-flops on flippin' blackjack.
06:29Hey.
06:32What's that?
06:33Er, your Josie's ski goggles.
06:36Cods 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?
06:48Oh, tar.
06:49Yeah, they're Mentos.
06:51You're going to have such a good time.
06:55Hey, are you OK not mentioning what you were worried about yesterday?
06:58Oh, yeah, yeah, of course, yeah.
07:00Good lad.
07:01Right, put them on, then.
07:04Whee, perfect.
07:09Well, you need to contact me.
07:11Dee Dee's got my card.
07:12Yeah, well, I might be asking you to talk to Karl if you like.
07:15Yeah, well, I might be asking you to talk to Karl
07:17if she hasn't got up with me in late.
07:19So, are my whole family suspects now, then?
07:22Are you going to 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.
07:34Hey, Dee Dee, honestly, it's just due diligence.
07:38Enjoy your party.
07:41Tar.
07:43What are you saying tar to him for?
07:45He was being nice, and that was just a reflex.
07:48Look, why are you being so snippy?
07:50They're allowed to ask questions.
07:52Oh, really? Well, thank you for that. I had no idea.
07:55Look, Dee Dee, I get it, OK?
07:58Whatever you thought about Joel, whatever I thought about Joel,
08:01you're allowed to grieve someone you might have, you know, mixed feelings about.
08:06Are you finished? Cos I thought you were late for work.
08:08Dee.
08:09Look, I just had a bad night's sleep, OK?
08:13Sorry, but it had nothing to do with him.
08:16Right, well, OK, just make sure you cheer her up before the party this afternoon.
08:20This party's for fun.
08:22Right, knock, phone. Snippiness.
08:29I've just rang them.
08:30They're having a run on them bigger cakes, so 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 Dee Dee, Green?
08:42Oh, you just wanted to know where I was the night Joel disappeared.
08:44Unlike your dad, I didn't have an alibi.
08:46Debbie was happy.
08:47Where's Noble Street?
08:49Sorry?
08:50Weatherfield.
08:51Noble Street, number 47.
08:53Oh, that's...
08:54It says here it's the last place you went to.
08:56Um, that's...
08:57That's Joel's flat.
08:59Oh, aye.
09:02And why were you at Joel's flat?
09:07I don't know.
09:38Oh, that was from ages ago when me and Michael helped him move out.
09:43No.
09:44It's showing. It's your last address.
09:46I usually use my phone, don't I?
09:48I mean, I hardly use that any more.
09:50I mean, flipping heck.
09:51First the cop has interrogated me over my break-in,
09:53now you're giving me the third degree over my sat-nav use.
09:57I mean, you care to chip in here, Dee Dee?
10:00Yes, all right, all right.
10:02Whoops.
10:03Hey, hey.
10:05Are you OK?
10:07Yeah.
10:08Yeah, I reckon a party will do us all a bit of good, though.
10:11So you'd better get going whilst there's still some cakes left.
10:14Spot on.
10:15Right, come on, you, get in.
10:17Lost the two shoes.
10:24Lauren needs help, support.
10:28And I do really want to help her, but...
10:31..I'm just struggling to get over how I feel about her.
10:36Right.
10:39Look, I know I said I'd moved on, but...
10:43..the last thing I want is for her to think
10:45that I'm only helping her because I fancy her.
10:48Gah.
10:50I should just forget it, shouldn't I?
10:54Got to say, mate, not getting very many caring vibes here.
10:58Oh, sorry, mate.
11:00It's Maria. I'm supposed to be off today,
11:02but she's having some kind of...
11:05..salon emergency.
11:07All right.
11:08Somebody died.
11:10What?
11:11D-Y-E-D died.
11:14It was meant to be a hairdresser joke.
11:16Sorry for banging on.
11:18No, yeah.
11:19It's OK, I do get it.
11:21Look, I think Lauren is just feeling a bit fragile at the moment.
11:26I know.
11:27I know.
11:28I'm 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.
11:40Mmm.
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.
11:54Er, no, I just fancied a pub lunch.
11:57And your mum's told me you'd been burned by your exes.
12:00Yeah, more like drowned, actually.
12:05Yeah, I've been thinking...
12:07Well, we've been thinking...
12:10..maybe you're after Mum's money after she's finished,
12:14you know, paying for all the bedding and stuff,
12:16and the house must be worth it.
12:17Oh!
12:18What?
12:19This house stuff against him, I didn't write.
12:21Erm, I need to top up Sam again.
12:24Ta.
12:25No, I'm fine, thanks.
12:26Yeah.
12:29No, no, I wouldn't say flush,
12:31but I'm doing all right at the moment,
12:33cos me and me ex's house sale has gone through.
12:36I've made a tidy profit.
12:38Yay, gentrification!
12:40Right.
12:41Yeah, well, that makes sense.
12:44We'll just have to thank our lucky stars
12:46it's a seller's market at war.
12:49I'll, er, after you.
12:51No, it's all right, you go. I'll wait here for Max.
12:54OK, erm, pint of best and two zeroes, please, Jenny.
12:57Coming up, love.
13:01Meryl needs a change and I won't be a sec.
13:04Ah, look, I'm glad baby Frankie got a discharge date.
13:09Yeah, thanks.
13:10How did you get on with the sofa at number eight?
13:12What?
13:13Well, er, Gail's super comfy deluxe sofa
13:17that I vacated a couple of weeks ago,
13:19so you could have the pleasure.
13:20Oh, right.
13:21Yeah, it's dead comfy, innit?
13:24Yeah, but I was being sarky.
13:25I mean, that's spring in the middle.
13:27I mean, it's vicious, hey?
13:28Not really.
13:29I got a bit of a cold.
13:30Oh, I'm sorry.
13:31I'm sorry.
13:32I'm sorry.
13:33I'm sorry.
13:34I'm sorry.
13:35I'm sorry.
13:36I'm sorry.
13:37I'm sorry.
13:38I'm sorry.
13:39Not really.
13:40I could sleep anywhere, me.
13:41What?
13:42Even on the world's most uncomfortable sofa?
13:44Well, no.
13:45You're just a bit of softy, aren't you?
13:47For a princess.
13:48You know, with the peak.
13:49Oh, right.
13:50Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:51OK.
13:52Hey, er, do you want a drink?
13:53I'm buying.
13:54Er, no.
13:55I'm not stopping, Tara.
13:56I've left Taya on her own.
13:57She's doing a shift.
13:58I was desperate and she was happy to help.
14:01Oh, right.
14:02I thought we should try that, um, being civil thing out.
14:06Yeah.
14:07Yesterday 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, hasn'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.
14:39When he's inbound, give me a shout and I'll get these out.
14:41No, don't worry, I'll take them from you, Taya.
14:43OK.
14:45So he just wanted to know where we all were that night.
14:48Oh, yeah.
14:49Well, I said we were in all night.
14:51Hey, are we ready?
14:52He's here.
14:54Ready?
14:55Surprise!
14:57Whoa!
14:58What 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.
15:06Always 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.
15:15Thank you, everyone.
15:16And, uh, this is a big cake.
15:18Are you going to...?
15:19Whoo!
15:20Good lad.
15:22Good speech.
15:23Hey, phone's away.
15:25All right, Dad.
15:26Right, Slippy.
15:28Here, let me give you a hand.
15:31I think the police intervention has made people a bit tense.
15:36Yeah, 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.
16:22Why's he smelling ours?
16:23Well, because he's going out with my gramps.
16:25You know, when you say that he was poking about your finances,
16:29what do you mean?
16:32I 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.
16:46I know, I know.
16:47But he turns up sniffing around exactly when the money goes missing.
16:51And come on, somebody took it.
16:53And if it's not him, then who?
16:55And don't even say Daniel.
16:56You'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.
17:11All right, shut 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. I mean, it's just...
17:21Yeah, don't worry. Yeah, I'm on my way now.
17:23Yeah.
17:25I'm sorry, I've got to run.
17:27But I've settled up with Jan.
17:29Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm coming now.
17:31Oh, no, that's not dodgy, not the slightest.
17:34Where are you going?
17:35What do you think I'm doing?
17:37He's hiding something, I'm going to see what it is.
17:39Are you mad?
17:42Oh, thanks, love.
17:44I'm on my own and I always struggle with that best barrel.
17:47Yeah, it's fine.
17:49How's Gemma?
17:50Well, you know, she's taking it day by day.
17:53Mm.
17:54No, I don't know, I mean, 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,
18:07but we are short-staffed.
18:10Right.
18:11And I can't keep her shifts open forever.
18:15What, so you're saying that she needs to get over her twin dying
18:17cos she might lose her job?
18:19No, no, no, no, no, no.
18:20I'm not... I'm not saying that at all.
18:22What 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... she wanted to start with the odd hour,
18:30just to ease herself...
18:31Oh, I'm sorry, Jenny.
18:32It's a no, she's...
18:34It's too soon.
18:36OK.
18:38I'm sorry.
18:45I'm sorry.
19:07Oh, hey, Sam.
19:09Hi.
19:10Can I have a quick word?
19:11Look, I'll take over.
19:13Put my care into the office.
19:14Once again with the child leader.
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.
19:31I 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 say he was lonely.
19:47Right, so the salon flat's free?
19:49Yeah.
19:50Doesn't Tyrone own that?
19:51Yeah.
19:52Have you talked to him yet?
19:53Listen, look, this is really hard to say.
19:56What? What is it?
19:58All right, don't take this the wrong way,
20:00but, well, 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.
20:12So, you two,
20:14don't think I haven't seen the looks.
20:17What looks?
20:18Between you both,
20:20eh, Dee Dee,
20:21and he has the temerity to question my poker face.
20:25Temerity?
20:27Michael told me you went in his car to Joel's flat,
20:30so why's that addressing your sap now?
20:32Listen, I don't think this is the time to talk about it.
20:35No, she's right.
20:36We need to talk about this.
20:38No, we don't.
20:39Ed, they're going to keep on pestering me until I do.
20:42So, anyway, here goes.
20:44Speech.
20:45Speech.
20:47To 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.
21:06Despite my grumpiness and surprises,
21:10I throw you away.
21:11So, um, thank you.
21:14And thank you all for coming.
21:16Right, on by.
21:17Uh, who's for more champagne?
21:19Ooh, er, no second for me, please.
21:21All right.
21:22You turn away, pretty.
21:24All right?
21:26Give me a hand.
21:37He's not here.
21:38This was a stupid idea.
21:40We can't give up now.
21:41We need to find him.
21:42Let's go.
21:43I'm not going anywhere.
21:45We're not letting him get away with this.
22:07Dad.
22:10You went to see him that night, didn't you, both of you?
22:13You've got to believe me.
22:15We didn't lay a finger on him.
22:18But, yeah, we were there that night.
22:21We were going to drag him down to the cob shop.
22:24But when we got there, he didn't answer,
22:26so we broke in.
22:29You broke in?
22:31We brought a crowbar.
22:33Then what did you do?
22:36We 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, er, 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.
23:05I understand why you didn't tell the police.
23:07I mean, the whole thing is beyond stupid.
23:10It's macho nonsense, but I get that.
23:12What I don't get is why you didn't tell me straight away.
23:16We're together, remember?
23:18We're meant to sort stuff out like this, together.
23:20I know.
23:22I know. I'm sorry.
23:24Come on, then.
23:26Shout at me.
23:29I was half expecting you to force us to go to the police.
23:32I can't force you to do anything, Des.
23:36Hey, look, I didn't mean to ambush you before.
23:39No, I completely get it.
23:41I mean, you're right, it's for the best.
23:43Does Sam know?
23:44Yeah, yeah, he's fine with it.
23:46Look, I would have run it past you first, but he brought it up and...
23:49No, honestly, it's fine. It makes total sense.
23:52And, yeah, you know, as long as you're happy with it.
23:55Yeah, yeah, of course.
23:57Hey, I'm going to need you to help me pack.
24:00Are you sure you can't stay as well?
24:02All of us.
24:04Oh, 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?
24:30Are you all right?
24:32Nothing's broken.
24:35You OK?
24:36Well, you be.
24:38When me mum finds out you're nipping off,
24:40having secret meetings with other women.
24:44KNOCK AT DOOR
24:50I'm coming.
24:54Hey. Hiya.
24:56I 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.
25:04You know, cos I didn't mean in any way
25:06that I was somehow threatening to fire you.
25:09I'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
25:24and just don't feel like you have to hurry back.
25:27Right.
25:29What you on about?
25:32Has Chesney not talked to you?
25:35Well, not since this morning, no.
25:37Oh, right. Um...
25:39Well, I...
25:41I rather clumsily...
25:43Passag?
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.
25:51Right.
25:53Yeah, he has been mouthing, actually.
25:55Well, he's... he's just looking out for you.
25:58Yeah.
25:59I think I am ready, you know.
26:01I could do some shifts next week, maybe.
26:04Are you... are you sure?
26:06Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure. I am.
26:14You OK?
26:15Bill, when you've got a sec, please, Nick.
26:17Oi, what you doing? You're not paying.
26:19It's your birthday.
26:20Right, Nick, if he goes anywhere near that bill,
26:22I'm going to flame this place so hard, I'm going to improvise it.
26:25Oh, yeah, OK.
26:26Well, look, it's my birthday,
26:28so I get to decide who pays, right?
26:31I don't think it works like that. It definitely doesn't.
26:33Er, thank you.
26:34There you go, Michael. Yes.
26:36Hey, hang on a minute.
26:37I organise this. I'm paying.
26:39No, you're not. Nope.
26:41OK, let's just split it evenly, OK?
26:43Everyone except for me. No, no, no.
26:45All right, then. Get your little calculator out.
26:47I don't have a little calculator.
26:49Hey, you don't need a calculator.
26:52Give it to you.
26:53Er, listen, you don't have to do that.
26:55Just part... Just...
26:57They're not listening.
26:58You're better off keeping yourself out of this one, mate.
27:01Hey, you're on your own.
27:02Very quiet.
27:03Erm, yeah, sorry, I've got a bit of a headache,
27:06so I might head home, actually.
27:07Hey, hey, don't go. Look.
27:09Look, we're really sorry. We're stupid.
27:11We should have told you before.
27:13Yeah. Yeah, and we told you everything, all right?
27:16There'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.
27:28Why do you ask me like that for?
27:30What do you mean? Right, Ron.
27:32You know I did, I told you.
27:33Well, I know, but I was just waiting for you to say it to confirm for Dee Dee.
27:37Why do I need to confirm?
27:39Flipping heck.
27:40No, 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?
27:47Look, can you blame me? I mean, you were really hit.
27:50We both were. We both called it off.
27:52What, you think I went back there, finished off the job?
27:56Oh, my days. Of course not.
27:58Everything all right, lads?
27:59Yeah, everything's fine, mate.
28:01Actually, I was just saying, I've got a bit of a headache,
28:03so I think I'm going to skip the phone.
28:05What?
28:06I've got some paracetamol, if you want.
28:08I'm OK, sir. Sorry, everyone.
28:10That's too much, look.
28:11It's fine. Put it towards the tip.
28:16Now see what you've done.
28:18It's been a tough few days. I'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.
28:37This one?
28:38Oh, wait a minute. Don't tell me.
28:40Your mum's Eileen, right?
28:42No, my mum's Gail.
28:43Who's Gail?
28:44Well, she's Eileen's sworn nemesis.
28:47It's very complicated.
28:49And you're with Gail?
28:50Well, not with, with, no.
28:53Oh.
28:54But I am with her mother.
28:57Oh, yes, 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.
29:04I think it's not even dry in the divorce papers
29:06and you're on a dirty weekend with Whitby woman Gail.
29:08It was hardly dirty.
29:09Oh, I don't even want to know.
29:10So, was he cheating on you as well, then?
29:12Like Eileen, is that why you're divorcing him?
29:14Just hang on.
29:15No, 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?
29:25Look, please, please.
29:27Can we just concentrate on the good man bit?
29:30I'm sorry.
29:31I'll be in touch about the house, Jesse.
29:33OK, love, but, look, please,
29:35I was going to tell you about Gail.
29:37Oh.
29:42What?
29:43Why are you even here?
29:45Because I've been following you.
29:47Of course you have.
29:49Why are you lot so suspicious of me?
29:51Oh, come on, we both know.
29:52Well, we both know what?
29:53You know.
29:54I don't.
29:55The money.
29:56What money?
29:57You mean Gail's money?
29:58No, the...
30:01You don't know?
30:02What the hell are you talking about?
30:05You don't know?
30:08No.
30:27Yes?
30:30Dad, I'm fine.
30:32I just...
30:34Please, 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.
31:00Look, I brought some pills.
31:02Look, you take these.
31:03Go sit down.
31:04I'll go get some water.
31:10Listen, I'm serious.
31:11Scream at me, shout at me.
31:12I deserve it, all right?
31:14What me and Ronnie did was stupid.
31:22Whatever we thought of Joel,
31:24there's no excuse.
31:57I'm so sorry we didn't tell you straight away.
32:04I already knew, Dad.
32:08What?
32:11That night, I...
32:14I heard you and Uncle Ronnie arguing in the yard
32:16when he dropped you home.
32:19Oh, love.
32:22I should have said something sooner.
32:24I don't know why I didn't.
32:25I just...
32:28Maybe part of me was glad.
32:30You know, glad that my family, my dad,
32:32had gone out to make sure he was going to pay
32:34for everything he'd done.
32:35Listen, we didn't do anything, I swear.
32:37What we said in the bistro was the truth.
32:39When we realised what we were doing was so stupid,
32:41we went home.
32:42Ronnie, too.
32:43He was mortified up to me, but...
32:46but we didn't do anything.
32:48I know, Dad.
32:50I believe you.
32:51I know I've lied to you in the past.
32:53It's OK.
32:55I believe you.
32:56Yeah, but you've spent the last few days thinking.
32:59I'm so, so sorry.
33:03I am so sorry.
33:10Hey, Freya.
33:11Oh, Nix.
33:13Has he ever used it?
33:15Yeah, fair point, actually.
33:16I'll have a look.
33:17Has he ever used it?
33:19Yeah, fair point, actually.
33:20I'll have it.
33:23Oh, no way.
33:24As if you've still got this ancient toasted sandwich maker.
33:27This takes me back.
33:29I haven't used it in years.
33:30It doesn't even work properly.
33:32Dad got that from some bloke from the market.
33:35You talked to Les lately?
33:37Yeah.
33:38Spoke to him a couple of weeks ago.
33:40He was drunk, obviously.
33:42And he expected me to summarise
33:43what had been happening in my life
33:44since the last time we spoke.
33:45Did you?
33:47No, I said nothing much had happened.
33:49Could hardly hear him, anyway.
33:50I think he was at some wrestling show.
33:52Wrestling?
33:53Yeah.
33:54He said something about meeting up for a drink,
33:56but when I messaged back...
33:58He didn't reply.
33:59Yeah, pretty standard line of communication
34:01with 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 residence car park.
34:09Could you just go and nab it for me?
34:11Yeah, of course.
34:12Unless there's rats in it.
34:14Unless there's rats in it, then no.
34:23So, he's OK about you moving out, then?
34:26Well, he says he is,
34:27but 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.
34:38You're right, you know, we're better off with a bit of space.
34:40Yeah.
34:41Especially now you've recovered.
34:43Yeah.
34:45Yeah, and things aren't really great between me and Nick, so...
34:49Well, do you know what?
34:50I think it'll be good for me to live on my own.
34:53I'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.
34:59Yeah, you're right, yeah.
35:00I mean, me too.
35:01In 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?
35:13Er, no, hopefully tomorrow,
35:15but will you send her some more TikToks,
35:17cos it does cheer her up.
35:19Thanks.
35:20Right.
35:21Hello?
35:22Hiya.
35:23Is Mum in?
35:25No, she's staying at Jesse's.
35:27Who, by the way, said you ambushed him with his axe?
35:31Yeah, well, I think he was being dodgy in the pub.
35:34You'd know all about dodgy.
35:36Oh, David, 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.
35:44What for?
35:45Doesn't want to say.
35:47Well, my money's on Harvey.
35:49Maybe.
35:50Hopefully.
35:52What 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 harmless,
36:03we're going to be the target of Weatherfield's kingpin of crime.
36:09Let's go.
36:10Come on.
36:38Is she OK?
36:40She's not great, no.
36:43Turns out she heard us come back to the house that night.
36:47So when she found out we told the police we didn't leave the house...
36:50She thought we might have.
36:51Exactly.
36:52Enough to give anyone a headache.
36:54Hey, Ed's back.
36:57Ah, here he is.
36:58Funny how you sneaked out when it was your round.
37:01Well, is Dee Dee all right?
37:03All right, look, son, you...
37:06We've got something to tell you.
37:11Come on, brother dearest.
37:13I think Abi needs to take you home.
37:15Oh, do you think?
37:16I'm not leaving.
37:17Not unless we're getting a kebab.
37:20In which case, I'm getting a kebab.
37:22Ah, thought you'd never ask.
37:24Erm, kebabby?
37:26See you there.
37:28Ta-ra.
37:31All right.
37:32Right, go on.
37:33What is it?
37:37Oh, hi, mate.
37:38Leanne not with you?
37:39No.
37:40I convinced her I wasn't going to bleed to death if I came by myself.
37:43OK, look, get out the way of the door.
37:46Sorry, I know I shouldn't be by here, but...
37:48turns out we're out of black peppercorn.
37:50And we're having eggs.
37:52And you can't really have eggs without them.
37:54Oh, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
37:56Yeah, hang on, erm...
37:58Is everything all right, though?
37:59Yeah.
38:00It's good that Leanne's just moving round the corner, isn't it?
38:03Yeah.
38:04Auntie Toy has been helping her pack.
38:06Oh, well, that's good.
38:08She's nicking the earth, right?
38:09Well, predictable.
38:11And planning on moving out tomorrow.
38:13Wow.
38:14That's quick.
38:15Yeah.
38:17Next year, I'll have the anniversary of losing two mums on two consecutive days.
38:26Mate.
38:27No, sorry.
38:29That was meant as a joke.
38:31Honestly, I gathered it's for the best.
38:33And like you say, she's just round the corner.
38:37You're not losing Leanne, you know.
38:39Look how close she is to Simon.
38:41Yeah, I know.
38:42I know, honestly.
38:44It was just a bad joke.
38:46You'll be able to see her whenever you want.
38:48Yeah.
38:49I know.
38:51Pepper?
38:53Yeah, yeah.
38:54OK, yeah.
38:55Er, eggs.
38:56There we go.
38:58See you later.
38:59Yeah.
39:00Enjoy your eggs.
39:04I don't believe this.
39:06No, no, actually.
39:07What am I saying?
39:08Of course I believe it.
39:09You playing the hard man acting, you lying about it.
39:11Look, Michael.
39:12No, he's right.
39:13I deserve that.
39:14I held my hands up.
39:15We both did.
39:17What we did was stupid.
39:19Oh, forgot your keys.
39:23Just got a craving for some crisps.
39:25Mm-mm.
39:26Do you fancy a brew?
39:27Ooh, go on, then.
39:31You realise I, um...
39:33What's the word?
39:34I perjured myself because of you.
39:36I told him that you were in all night.
39:38No.
39:39You said you thought he was in all night.
39:42You were asleep.
39:43OK, great.
39:44Good 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.
39:54We both have.
39:55What?
39:57Nothing happened.
39:58So?
39:59Sorry.
40:00Wait, run this past me again.
40:02Dee Dee's agreed to cover up your little vigilante justice spree.
40:06And you're OK with it, are you?
40:07Well, like Ron said, nothing's happened.
40:09Apart from Joel being murdered.
40:11Hey, keep 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 would believe you didn't do it?
40:25Which is why none of us can say anything.
40:29I didn't think you'd still be awake.
40:32Can't sleep.
40:35You OK?
40:42Jenny come round before.
40:44Right.
40:46Look, I'm...
40:48I'm sorry I shouldn't have gone behind your back.
40:50No, it's fine.
40:52I told her I'd go back and do some shifts next week.
40:55Part time, you know.
40:57This is where you're going to have a go at me for interfering?
41:00No.
41:02I get it.
41:05I just...
41:08It feels weird just carrying on like normal.
41:13Well, that's why you don't have to, Gem.
41:17I do.
41:18We need the money.
41:20And I can't just keep sitting here while you're working so hard.
41:23You're going to have to keep your eyes open.
41:25And I'm fine.
41:27Are you, though? Really?
41:30Yeah.
41:32Well, I've got to be.
41:33You know it's going to change, is it?
41:36He's not coming back.
41:39And I can't just be sad forever, can I?
41:44Gemma, come here.
41:55Sorry it's late, but this can't wait till tomorrow.
41:59Right.
42:01How are you so calm?
42:03I thought you'd be marching him down to the police station.
42:05Because they didn't do it.
42:07OK, but do you really think the police,
42:09the same police who locked up Roy Cropper for murder,
42:13are going to look at the dad and the uncle
42:15of the victim's ex-fiance and believe that?
42:19Do you believe them?
42:21That they broke in and changed their minds?
42:23Of course I do, don't you?
42:27Yes, yeah, yeah. Look...
42:30I can't deal with this right now. I need to go to bed.
42:34Someone was looking for Joel that evening.
42:37And whoever that was finished the job.
42:54No!
42:56No!
43:23I'm sorry.
43:26I'm sorry.
43:53I'm sorry.
