00:30Tell me, what's it like not to have to work?
00:33Nice.
00:35I've had jobs, you know.
00:38Well, I don't think shopping and drinking counts, but...
00:42The fella from Birmingham's been on. I've got to shoot half and half an hour.
00:46It's going to be an overnight, sorry.
00:48I'll message Jay, getting to come to his health and safety training.
00:51No, don't. I'll cover till he returns.
00:54I'm not afraid of a bit of hard work, Caleb.
00:57All right.
00:57I'll, um, I'll pack a bag. You net that, I'll be back in five.
01:03Uh, no, I'll meet you at the depo. I just want to pop the doctors first.
01:08Is this for a medical reason or a Manpreet reason?
01:11Let's just say a stern word today keeps the doctor away.
01:14I'll bring it over when it's ready.
01:23Oh, and Jimmy mentioned you'd gone back to Dingle.
01:26Yeah, my divorce is official.
01:27So, you're a single Dingle ready to mingle?
01:30I'm not on the date and see him.
01:32Why have you thought about trying naps?
01:33Then you can suss them out first and bin them off if they're freaks.
01:36Maybe I should just be single for a bit.
01:38Okay, no pressure, just a thought.
01:41Have you got time for coffee, though?
01:43Uh, no, not really. I'm mad busy.
01:46You're still on for five tonight, yeah?
01:48Yeah, yeah, fair's fine.
01:50Oh.
01:51You sound a bit more enthusiastic about it.
01:53Belle's got us the best wedding cake maker in Yorkshire.
01:55Oh, honestly, the coffee and walnut is so good.
01:58I am excited.
02:00Free cake, two of my favourite words.
02:02Great.
02:03So, uh, steak and chips tonight, yeah, I'm cooking.
02:05You don't have to keep doing this, you know.
02:07What, being nice?
02:08Of course I do.
02:09You do so much for me and Thomas,
02:11so I need to do something nice for you as well.
02:14Right, moustache.
02:15Mwah.
02:17Honestly, your couple goals.
02:20See?
02:21Proof that you can find the right one.
02:24Maybe even closer to home.
02:26On a dating app.
02:27She'll be all right, you know.
02:28Oh, it says the two smug marrieds.
02:30Hey, I've kissed a lot of frogs to find my prince.
02:33Well, king.
02:34Okay, yeah, I will join a nap.
02:36If you can promise me,
02:38I'm going to find what Gabby and Vinny have.
02:40I see.
02:40That would be impossible.
02:42Right, you trust it won't be long.
02:43Then manhunting.
02:44No, no, no, I'll do it by myself.
02:45What?
02:46Deprive me of seeing all those fit fellas?
02:48No chance.
02:49I'm in.
02:51Wish me luck.
02:52You don't need luck.
02:54Some decent guys out there, you know.
02:56Hmm.
02:58I'd like to see a man peak, please.
03:14Dr. Shah was free on the 21st at two.
03:20I need to see her right now.
03:22Are you needing urgent medical attention?
03:25No.
03:26Well, unless you're at death's door, I'm afraid you're going to have to wait.
03:30Right, we'll see you at your follow-up.
03:34Take care.
03:34Thanks.
03:36Thanks.
03:37Ah, everything okay?
03:39Not quite.
03:40I'm sorry, Dr. Shah.
03:42This woman doesn't seem to understand she has to wait for an appointment.
03:45No, this woman does understand and she simply doesn't want to.
03:49Do you know what?
03:50I felt bad for snapping at you yesterday.
03:53Then, then, I see you and Ross Barton eating each other's faces off on your front doorstep.
03:58Apologies, Claudette.
03:59So now I don't feel bad.
04:00A one-off, you said.
04:01What was that then?
04:02A two-off, your lying slapper.
04:04What did you?
04:05With language like that, I think you should leave.
04:07Immediately.
04:10Can't bear to look at her two faces anyway.
04:12So this play-bound delivery, it's got to go out like clockwork last time.
04:28It was chaos and we nearly lost the contract.
04:30So you're in charge, yeah?
04:32Well, you won't regret it, boss.
04:34I am a natural-born leader.
04:36I'm like Deborah Meadman, I be.
04:37Right, when I say in charge, I just mean with this one delivery,
04:40Ruby's going to be overseeing everything else.
04:42All right.
04:43Drive safely.
04:44Don't, er, crash on Spaghetti Junction or anything.
04:50What do you want?
04:51Just a tiny favour?
04:53No.
04:54What?
04:55You don't even know what I'm going to say.
04:56The only tiny favour that you'd want is a job.
04:58They'll answer us now.
05:00Look, I'm sorry.
05:02All right.
05:02Steph leaving was my fault.
05:05Totally.
05:06But you know that I cared for her.
05:08Yeah, I thought so as well.
05:09So, to make it up to you and to prove that you were right to...
05:12Trust me in the first place.
05:15How about a job?
05:17No.
05:19Are you just going to keep saying no?
05:21Yes.
05:22Funny.
05:23Come on, man.
05:24I'll do anything.
05:25Just give me a chance.
05:26Now, sure.
05:28Man Preet will give you a chance.
05:31Eh?
05:32Ruby saw you both kissing.
05:35Right.
05:37Yeah.
05:38Right.
05:40You know,
05:41you've proved to me what I first thought about you.
05:44You're a liar and you're a chancer.
05:46Steph's better off without you.
05:47Any exits there?
05:49Don't nick anything on the way out.
05:50Unbelievable.
06:09Absolutely unbelievable.
06:11I come bearing carbs and you come empty-handed.
06:14What?
06:15No coffees?
06:16Oh, there's a cafe down the road.
06:17I can get as one if you want.
06:19How long have I got you for?
06:20About an hour-ish.
06:22Just enough time.
06:23For what?
06:25Well,
06:27I thought I'd tell you more about me.
06:29My situation.
06:30If it'd help, of course.
06:32That'd be great, yeah.
06:33But, um,
06:33only if you want to.
06:35Yeah, it's cool.
06:36I offered.
06:38You first and talk, yeah?
06:39I can do without the caffeine.
06:47Oh, no.
06:48Mm-mm.
06:49Oh?
06:51No, I need her.
06:52Oh, hey.
06:53All can be sexy.
06:54And they don't pinch your shampoo.
06:56Yeah, but they pinch your polish.
07:01Hi.
07:02What can I get you?
07:03A pot of tea for one, please.
07:05Ever been on a date in that, Claudette?
07:07No, and I never will.
07:08Well, I prefer to be courted, thank you.
07:11A little dancing and a drink with a well-mannered gentleman
07:14suits me just fine.
07:15Do you know, I totally agree.
07:17Is that how you and Jimmy got together?
07:19No.
07:20We had drunken Nucky in the back of one of his trucks
07:22and I got pregnant.
07:27Your jokes can be so cheeky sometimes, Nicola,
07:30but you are funny.
07:31I think you and Jimmy are a very good example
07:35of what a solid marriage should be.
07:37Ah.
07:38Well, for that, you can have that drink on the house.
07:40Oh.
07:41That's very kind of you.
07:43I'll just use the ladies.
07:44That is the first nice thing she's ever said to me.
07:48Don't you dare tell her it's the truth.
07:50I won.
07:52Oh, have you found a potential?
07:54No, look.
07:56Oh, hilarious.
07:56Is that Cammy?
07:57Yeah.
07:58Read the bio.
08:00MD of Barton and Dingle Automotive.
08:02MD?
08:03More like massive delusion.
08:05Can't not go berserk if he sees her.
08:06Cammy's a good-looking lad.
08:10What?
08:12Yeah, he's fit, but...
08:13Nicola?
08:16Why have you done that?
08:18That's really awkward now,
08:20because now I've got to tell him I'm not even interested.
08:22You sound like you're trying to convince yourself.
08:29You said Kate didn't take it very well.
08:32Still processing it.
08:33We had a fair few conversations, let's say.
08:39Some calm, some not.
08:42Six years is a lot to walk away from.
08:45How did she find out?
08:48She sent a message from Daniel, a guy I worked with.
08:52Note to self, don't let your missus order pizza on your phone.
08:57We started hanging out together.
09:00Drinks after work, rugby.
09:03We just clicked.
09:05You know, laughing at the same shit with things.
09:09When Kate joked out, I've seen him more than her,
09:11and it kind of stuck.
09:14Maybe we realised it was more than just mates.
09:18I texted him how I felt, and he replied...
09:22he wasn't interested.
09:23..and that's what she saw.
09:30And where's Daniel now?
09:33Don't know.
09:34He left and never saw him again.
09:39See you as Cammy fellow around.
09:41Yeah.
09:43And do you feel like you want to do more stuff?
09:46No, I feel bad enough trying to kiss you.
09:47Well, I've never done anything.
09:53Don't act surprised.
09:55Despite looking like this, I'm no tart.
09:58Sorry, no, no, I...
09:59I wasn't saying that you were.
10:01God, mate, I really need to work on my jokes with you, don't I?
10:04So, um...
10:09Do you think you're bisexual, then?
10:15Maybe.
10:16I just don't know.
10:19I just know that I've always needed a connection first.
10:22Emotionally, before anything else.
10:25Sure there'll be a name for it.
10:28Thinking back, it was like that with Kate, too.
10:31Daniels was the only guy I ever happened with.
10:34Right, yeah.
10:39Do you think that fits you?
10:41It's a person, not a gender.
10:44Maybe, yeah.
10:46Or do you think you might be gay?
10:50Ooh, Hotton Council's doing that great...
10:53A naming competition again.
10:55We should name the fans.
10:56Bit of free publicity.
10:58It's a really good idea.
10:59Caleb told me to keep an eye on you,
11:01but all I'm seeing is untapped potential.
11:04Jason Donovan.
11:06Pamela Van Derson.
11:07Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
11:09That's good.
11:12Can I help you?
11:14Nice hat.
11:16Yeah, Charity said that you were up here,
11:18so I thought I'd come and see you.
11:19Well, you've seen me now.
11:20Sophie Pop.
11:21Oh, I'm not popping anywhere.
11:23Not until you've heard me out.
11:24Tell you what, send me an email.
11:26It's ruby at idontcare.com.
11:31That's not our real email address.
11:35Would you like me to book you an appointment for later?
11:39No need, Kerry.
11:40If she's not back soon,
11:44I'll just turn this
11:48into my own little drive-thru.
11:52Hmm?
11:52I mean, I can't be gay, can I?
12:10I love Gabby.
12:12I shouldn't have asked for her yet.
12:13I'd...
12:13leave us box you in.
12:15You see, I was married to someone
12:18who knew that they were asexual.
12:23Oh, well, OK.
12:24But, er, it didn't work out.
12:27Ever.
12:30She died.
12:34I'm sorry to hear that.
12:35That's fine.
12:35Well, I mean, it's fine not fine,
12:38if you know what I mean.
12:40It was never a problem,
12:41it was just how it was.
12:43But I loved her.
12:44Like, you know, I properly loved her.
12:48I suppose...
12:49What I'm trying to say is,
12:50I'm just...
12:51I'm not that experienced,
12:52because Gabby...
12:53She...
12:54She was my first.
12:56Right.
12:58I mean, I find her really attractive
12:59and we have fun.
13:01What?
13:01I just...
13:02Why do I feel this way about Cammy?
13:04Do you know, I don't...
13:05I don't understand it.
13:07I mean, what if I am gay?
13:07That'd be horrible, wouldn't it?
13:10Sorry, no, I...
13:11Not that being gay is horrible,
13:13I just mean...
13:14It'd be horrible to break Gabby's heart.
13:17But I'd have to, wouldn't I?
13:20God, I just wish it'd make sense.
13:23It will.
13:25We'll figure out together.
13:31So you don't know what's going on?
13:33No idea.
13:33I mean, they've got beef...
13:35like...
13:36double quarter pounder size.
13:38And she's refusing to leave.
13:42What are you doing here?
13:43Caleb said you weren't back till four.
13:45Well, he was wrong.
13:46I finished at one.
13:48You need to sort that out.
13:49We need the fort lift back.
13:50Has she been here all this time?
13:54Hmm.
13:55She's refusing to go until you talk to her.
13:57Hasn't she got patients to see?
13:58Half day, apparently.
14:00She went late on Thursday.
14:02I presume you made her that cup of tea?
14:04Whilst you were having a nice long chat with her?
14:06Well, she was thirsty.
14:08And anyway, anything to stop her from driving that thing through your office?
14:11Oh, she won't be able to drive it anyway.
14:12But we do need it back to load the deliveries.
14:18You're stopping work.
14:19You need to go.
14:21Not until you hear me speak.
14:24I will call the police.
14:25Hmm.
14:26And tell them what exactly?
14:28The local doctor is holding your forklift hostage.
14:32They'll love you wasting their time.
14:35Carrie!
14:36Any biscuits?
14:37Do not get her a biscuit.
14:40Jason Statham, obviously.
14:47Bruce Willis, only in Die Hard.
14:50And...
14:51that guy from Harry Potter.
14:54What, Voldemort?
14:55Yes!
14:56Oh, babe, he can suck my soul out any day of the week.
14:59He did ask for my top three bald men.
15:01Well, you're hilarious.
15:02You're popular, obviously.
15:04Nicola, she persuaded me to go on the apps.
15:08So hang on, these pings are hot guy pings.
15:10Let me have a look.
15:10Oh, Charlie, not now.
15:13All right.
15:14Hey, erm, can I have a chat?
15:16Yeah, sure.
15:17I'll get a message anyway.
15:18See if you wanted a drink, your little swiper.
15:20Er, yeah, about that, erm, it wasn't me.
15:26You rubbish out lying.
15:27No, honestly, it wasn't.
15:28It was Nicola.
15:29She thought I fancied you, so she swiped.
15:31I just didn't want you thinking I'm into you.
15:34Oh, no, I mean, I thought you would be here anyway.
15:38I just didn't want you to be upset or anything.
15:41All right, here you go.
15:42I'm not bothered.
15:49Do you still want a drink?
15:51Erm, no, I'm actually all right.
15:54I should get going, but I'll see you around.
15:56Yeah, yeah, yeah, cool.
15:57Let us.
16:03You didn't hear what she called me, Jay.
16:06She humiliated me in front of Claudette and the patients.
16:09It was deliberate and it was mortifying.
16:11Right.
16:12So this is you giving her a taste of her own medicine?
16:15Exactly.
16:17It's the principle, all right?
16:19I just need one minute with her, please.
16:22Right.
16:22One minute and then this is done.
16:25We're getting somewhere.
16:27Are you with me?
16:30I mean, you could literally kill with those eyes.
16:32I wish.
16:34She still wants to talk.
16:36I'm bored of talking to that woman.
16:38Well, from what she's just told me,
16:40you owe her that much at least.
16:41Then she'll go and we can crack on with work.
16:44Fine.
16:47You've got 30 seconds.
16:52Not long until the big day?
16:54No.
16:55It's starting to feel very real.
16:56Did you, by the way things went this afternoon,
16:59you might have to make a space for bells plus one.
17:08Hey, Skyver.
17:10What are you doing here?
17:11I was just about to go back to work.
17:13Well, if scrolling and sipping lattes is work,
17:15then I want your job.
17:17What's in the bag?
17:18It's your tea.
17:19Thomas missed out on the free wedding cake,
17:21so I'm going to get him some treats.
17:22I've boxed them up.
17:23Oh, thanks.
17:25And whilst I'm here,
17:27I might as well show you what else is planned for tonight.
17:28I'm hoping there's more where that came from.
17:41And I do not appreciate you marching into my place of work
17:48and embarrassing me like that.
17:50I think you're managing that pretty well yourselves
17:52by swapping saliva in full view like two teenagers at a bus stop.
17:56Sorry, correct me if I'm wrong,
17:57but did you or did you not sleep with your husband's brother?
18:00Hmm?
18:01So who are you to judge a kiss
18:02between two single consenting adults?
18:05It's not just one kiss, though, is it, Manpreet?
18:06You're clearly both at it like rabbits.
18:08You have no business being this obsessed with my sex life.
18:11If you think this is about your sex life,
18:12then you're a moron.
18:13Because of you, my daughter, left.
18:15So don't hold your breath for an apology.
18:16Time's up.
18:17Oh, no, you don't.
18:18It's time for some home truths, Ruby Milligan.
18:22Grab a notebook and pen,
18:23because not only are you a terrible wife,
18:25you are a car crash of a mother.
18:27Steph didn't leave because of me.
18:28She left because of you.
18:29And so did Nicky, for that matter.
18:31I imagine he's got a lifetime of baggage with your name on it.
18:34And as for Steph, I'm amazed she turned out as well as she did,
18:37considering she raised herself.
18:38Oh, but hang on!
18:39That's probably why.
18:41There are certain things I did for Steph's well-being,
18:43and I did them because I love her.
18:46It's not love if it leaves scars.
18:51You!
18:52Oh!
18:54Get going!
18:56Go on!
18:57Say it again!
18:58Oh!
19:00You're insane!
19:01I'll show you insane!
19:04Ah!
19:13Oh, in your own time.
19:15Chill.
19:16Just a bit strapped, that's all.
19:19But any chance of us doing a few shifts here, like?
19:23Er, no.
19:24Oh, here's another one of the musketeers.
19:28You what?
19:29Well, first Kane won't hire me, then you won't, and now she won't.
19:33Has this numpty had a word?
19:34All right, thank you.
19:35I don't need him reminding me that you're a liability.
19:38Go and drink your drink.
19:39Voila!
19:44Have a pint, please.
19:46Do us a cheese and ham sandwich, will you?
19:47I thought you were supposed to be in Birmingham.
19:49Yeah, I was.
19:50Got halfway down the M6 and the bloke cancelled on me.
19:53Oh.
19:54Well, shouldn't you be getting back to work?
19:56Isn't Ruby working?
19:57She's done two and a half hours now.
19:58She'll be leaning the leg out.
19:59I'll tell her you said that.
20:01No, I'll finish me butty, then I'll head up there.
20:04I'm sure she's running a very tight ship.
20:06Yeah.
20:08Right, leave while your legs still work.
20:10Oh, I'm not going anywhere.
20:11Unlike your children.
20:13Ow!
20:14Oh, no, no, stop it!
20:16Are you going to do something?
20:18Er, yeah, I'm going to get some popcorn.
20:20Where's your precious daughter?
20:21I've seen more of a Loch Ness monster.
20:23And where's your father?
20:23Pretending you don't exist.
20:25Oh!
20:26Whoa, whoa, whoa!
20:27Shut your evil mouth.
20:28Are you all right?
20:29Do I look all right, Jay?
20:30Well, this looks lively.
20:32We've had a report of aggravated trespassing.
20:35Yeah, that was me.
20:36It's her.
20:36She's uninvited and unhinged.
20:38I was not trespassing officer.
20:40I was not trespassing officer.
20:42Right, that's not helping.
20:44She punched me.
20:45She kicked me.
20:47She pulled my hair!
20:49Can you shed any light on this?
20:51Yeah, well...
20:52Shh.
20:52Ruby just punched Manpreet, yeah.
20:56But Manpreet did kick Ruby, so...
20:58Sorry.
20:59You?
21:01Aye.
21:02Got a bit sloppy.
21:04I'm arresting you for ABH.
21:06You do not have to say anything,
21:07but it may harm your defence
21:09if you do not mention when questioned,
21:10something which you'll later rely on in court.
21:12Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
21:14This is a joke!
21:15It's that silly cow you should be arresting!
21:17Did you hear all that clearly?
21:18Oh, every word, officer.
21:20Well, the same applies to you.
21:21What?
21:22For aggravated trespassing in ABA.
21:24Ha ha ha!
21:26Are we going to need two cars,
21:28or can you play nice in one?
21:30Ow!
21:30Ow!
21:32You have no idea what you've just started.
21:34Bring it on.
21:37Ow!
21:37Ow!
21:37Ow!
21:38Ow!
