00:25Now that was
00:28To quote your brother, top-scan man.
00:32I don't think I've ever heard him say that.
00:34Yeah, all the time.
00:35And listen, did you know that back in the day baked beans
00:37were considered like a luxury item?
00:39And what day would that be then, when it was all fields?
00:42No, I'm serious. Yeah, cos I remember my mummy telling me
00:45that when she first came to the UK,
00:47one of her neighbours offered her beans on toast
00:49and she turned it down, thinking they were going to be
00:51these kind of, like, bland, green things on the slice of bread.
00:54Ew.
00:55He was right. But then, when he served it up,
00:57mummy had severe food envy.
00:59Hmm.
01:00You know, I wish I had a chance to really get to know Grandma.
01:03She was nice.
01:04Ask her about partition.
01:05She was good.
01:06About how weird it must have been coming here.
01:08Here you go, love.
01:09Oh, Tasha, I know this looks good enough to eat.
01:12Hmm.
01:13You know what?
01:14It's so good to see you just engaged.
01:16And I know you've been through some bad things on your bar.
01:19You know, they'll hopefully be coming out the other side.
01:21You know, maybe reporting Naomi to the police
01:23has done me more good than everyone else.
01:25Yeah, that's it.
01:26And your grandma might not be around, nor your mum for that matter,
01:28but I am Bernie's and we're both here if you need to talk, yeah?
01:31Well, I don't know what Bernie could teach me about partition, but...
01:34Well, if it was a club in the 90s, then probably quite a lot.
01:37Right.
01:39Shall we go?
01:40Allons-y, mon chéri.
01:42And that is your actual French.
01:44Wow, your multilingual father.
01:46A man of many tongues.
01:48Listen to this.
01:49Au revoir, Seanan.
01:51Top scran man.
01:52Love it, Lily.
01:53Go, Dad.
01:54Isn't it?
01:55You all right?
01:56Is that her?
01:57Is that Naomi?
01:58Come on, love.
01:59Come on.
02:00Come on.
02:01Come on.
02:02Come on, love.
02:03Come on.
02:04Come on.
02:05Come on.
02:06Come on.
02:07Voyeurism's illegal in this country.
02:20Try not to wait you.
02:23Do you want a brew?
02:25No, you're all right.
02:27You always start the day with a brew.
02:29Yeah, well, maybe I've changed.
02:31So what do you start the day with now?
02:34Absence.
02:35As if?
02:36You know me so well.
02:41I'm just gonna go and try and make myself look vaguely presentable.
02:48Hi, Kev.
02:49Only me.
02:52Oh.
02:53What are you doing here?
02:54Well, I'm not auditioning for Love Island.
02:56Is Kevin about?
02:57It is his house.
03:00Friendly.
03:01I heard that.
03:02Yeah, you were meant to.
03:04Let's take kettle on, Kevin.
03:06I've got a throat like a desert welly.
03:08It's on.
03:09That boiling noise isn't a sound effect.
03:14I don't know it.
03:15This is such a difficult situation.
03:19Ain't it?
03:25Yeah, okay.
03:26No worries.
03:27Yeah, I can do that.
03:28Great.
03:29It'll be great to see you.
03:30Okay.
03:31Alright.
03:32Alright, bye.
03:33Great.
03:34You can be a bit more excited rather than just great.
03:43I'm looking forward to it.
03:45Look.
03:46This is the first time the kids are coming to stay.
03:50You know, they've been through a lot lately.
03:52I don't want them picking up on any mood.
03:54It's all good.
03:56Right.
03:57And then when you get a sec, can you run round with a vac?
04:00It's just, you know, one crumb, one stray hair.
04:02The second that Millie sees it, she'll report to her mother and, er,
04:05Danielle is still living in a crack house.
04:07Well, come on.
04:08Look lively.
04:09I've got to finish my breakfast first.
04:12I'm surprised you're hungry.
04:13All you seem to do is eat.
04:18I'll get the vac.
04:21Oh, hey, come on.
04:22You can't just leave that there.
04:30Excuse me.
04:31Is this what you brought me home for?
04:32Is it, like, fold bed sheets?
04:34No, it's just a bonus.
04:35Right, I was talking to Kit earlier.
04:38Mic drop.
04:39Yeah, and he was saying how the busies have done diddly
04:41about that woman who abused Asher.
04:43Isn't that shocking?
04:44Yeah, so what are they dragging their heels for?
04:45Oh, I don't know.
04:46Somewhat about how they dragged that Naomi one in for questioning.
04:49And guess what?
04:50She denies everything.
04:51Yeah.
04:52A lying little skank.
04:54So what else are you saying?
04:55Well, the police need to take their time
04:58because they need to build a case against her
05:00before they can charge her properly.
05:02But the big problem is,
05:04the only testimony they've got is Asher's.
05:07Yeah, but she's not making it up, is she?
05:08Yeah, but it's a tough one to present to the CPS.
05:11It's gonna take time.
05:13That's all Kit says.
05:14You know, a fat lot of help that is
05:15when Asher has to see her out and about
05:17without a care in the world, right?
05:18Yeah, rancid old gammon.
05:19Oh, well.
05:20You know, if the police can't do anything,
05:22let's have faith that the universe
05:23will somehow take care of it all.
05:25How?
05:26I don't know, honey.
05:27Maybe, like, a bolt of lightning's gonna strike her down
05:28and turn her into a pillar of salt.
05:30Biblical.
05:31Got ya.
05:32Oh, go get this.
05:36Oh.
05:37Well, look, maybe I should give the universe a little push.
05:43Okay, so that's one frothy coffee,
05:45one not-so-frothy,
05:46eight pieces of tobacco sandwich
05:48and, uh, squirtage roll.
05:49Correct?
05:50Correct, indeed.
05:51I'm amazed I could even say that with my morning sickness.
05:53Come here.
05:54I've got a hand.
05:55Oh, get a room, all of you,
05:57or else I really will be sick.
05:58Oh, behave.
05:59I'm just getting a bit of fluff off his collar.
06:01Oh, well, it's PDA Central in here this morning.
06:03Excuse you.
06:04This is all above board.
06:06Depends on how low the board is.
06:08Don't worry, I won't say nothing.
06:10Ah, that is a double negative, so maybe you will.
06:12She's just sheepish about us,
06:14because my case is ongoing.
06:15It's okay, though.
06:16I think sheep are cute.
06:17Are you calling me a sheep?
06:19Two words, Dee Dee.
06:20Mince dogs.
06:22We should all do lunch sometime.
06:24What, like a double date?
06:25A sheep welcome, though.
06:26Oh, you need to stop liking it.
06:27It means a farm yard animal.
06:28Well, I always say,
06:29never trust anything that isn't toilet trained,
06:31including husband.
06:33Hey, what about this afternoon?
06:34Could be fun.
06:36Okay.
06:37No, there's been lots of interest, but that's about it.
06:43No outright offers.
06:44So far.
06:45Hi, gang.
06:46You all right?
06:47Yeah, we're all right.
06:48You all right?
06:49Yeah, yeah, I'm all right.
06:50Erm, listen, George, I was thinking...
06:52I feel so much ghosted here.
06:54Erm, would you like to have lunch with me later?
06:57Cos Brian's offered to cover the afternoon shift at the cabin,
07:00and, well, I was thinking about trying Floellas
07:03on Balaclava Terrace.
07:05I mean, it's vegan, but seems all right.
07:08And, er, I've got a two-for-one voucher, so...
07:11So, sorry, Jenny, no can do.
07:13I've got a busy day of cleaning ahead at Shuttleworth.
07:15Oh, I keep forgetting to hire one.
07:17One, one what?
07:18A cleaner.
07:19Yeah.
07:20Oh, all right.
07:21Yeah, well, yeah, I see why you need one,
07:23cos, you know, I've often stood in that front parloury bit,
07:26you know, your reception area,
07:27and I've had a very strong urge to sort that shag out.
07:30Maybe you should try it sometime.
07:32Yeah, maybe I will, yeah.
07:34Yeah.
07:35Yeah, well, it's not exactly a shag as such, is it?
07:37But anyway, er, sorry, Jenny.
07:40Take care of yourself, do you hear?
07:42Okie dokie, carry okey.
07:44Do you worry about canceling the event?
07:45I can't cancel the event.
07:46I've rented the space out to the uni.
07:47It's their event.
07:48Right, so who do I speak to, then?
07:49Bernie, you need a really good reason to cancel something like this.
07:50What's your reason?
07:51Well, I'm not at liberty to say, actually.
07:52No, hands are tied, kind of thing.
07:53Well, look, it's all set up and ready to go.
07:54And it starts in ten minutes.
07:55Right, so where's the bird who's running it?
07:56Hey, guys, can I rest that for you, please?
07:57Er, the woman who's running the careers fair is called Naomi, and she's...
07:58She's probably just gone the low or something.
07:59And is that her laptop?
08:00Yeah.
08:01And is that her laptop?
08:02Yeah.
08:03And that projects onto there, does it?
08:04I don't know.
08:05I don't know.
08:06I don't know.
08:07But it's a remote.
08:08I don't know.
08:09It's a great, you know, homes are tied kind of thing.
08:10Oh, look, it's all set up and ready to go.
08:11And it starts in ten minutes.
08:12Right, so where's the bird who's running it?
08:13Hi, guys.
08:14Can I rest that for you, please?
08:15The woman who's running the careers fair is called Naomi, and she's...
08:16She's probably just gone the lowest of it.
08:21And is that her laptop?
08:25Yeah.
08:26And that projects onto there, does it?
08:27I don't know.
08:28We've just rented the room out, Bernie.
08:29Is there anything I can help you with?
08:30Oh, no problem.
08:31OK.
08:32Cheers, Ryan, lad, as you are.
08:33I'll be right, lad.
08:34Nice cheers.
08:35Hiya, Benny.
08:37Hiya, Psalms.
08:39Hiya.
08:41Thanks.
08:43I wonder what she's doing here.
08:46Probably just tagging along with somebody like you are.
08:48Well, I hope she's not after a career change,
08:50because Roy really relies on her.
08:52People are fickle.
08:54Bernie's not fickle.
08:55She's lovely.
08:55It's a two-for-one voucher.
09:01I mean, it's vegan, but it looks all right, doesn't it?
09:04Would I have to talk to you?
09:06What?
09:07Well, I mean, I'm anybody's for a free meal,
09:09but I wouldn't want to actively engage.
09:13Do you know what?
09:13I'm quite surprised you invited me, if I'm honest.
09:16Oh, no, no, no, no.
09:17I was just showing you the restaurant.
09:19I wasn't in...
09:20Sorry.
09:20Oh, what's that noise?
09:22The desperate sound of backpedalling?
09:25God, you're weird.
09:2712p change.
09:29I'm going to bop kettle on.
09:33Oh, hi, babe.
09:37Listen, I heard Kev was in the pub,
09:39telling anybody that would listen that you two had split up.
09:43Yeah, Kev's had a lot of things, but he's not a blabbermouth.
09:46I think you might be exaggerating.
09:48Are you still seeing Carl?
09:51How many times do I have to tell you?
09:53Yeah, you need to stay away from that one.
09:55He is bad news.
09:56Will you keep it down?
09:57Does Kevin know?
09:58Me and Carl aren't seeing each other, so...
10:01So where are you living now?
10:03Not still working at the garage, because that must be awkward.
10:06Do you know, I think if I did an image search online for messy,
10:10what would come up is that.
10:12It is very rude, to point.
10:14It's also rude to sleep with two brothers at the same time.
10:17It wasn't actually at the same time, was it?
10:20You didn't...
10:20Do you know what you do, Tracy?
10:22You make me feel physically sick.
10:27Were you looking for anything in particular, Abby?
10:29I'll come back when there ain't such a bad smell.
10:31Good morning, everybody.
10:39I'm Naomi Giles.
10:40I am one of the careers counsellors here at David Throne University.
10:44Welcome to today's session, entitled All Work and No Play.
10:49So I shall be kicking things off,
10:51and then my lovely colleague, Tish King,
10:54will be offering some insights of her 30 years' extensive experience
10:59within the HR world.
11:01So careers, what's all that about?
11:05Let's take a deep dive.
11:07All right.
11:30Who did this?
11:32Come on.
11:33I want to know who's been tampering with my laptop.
11:35Who was it?
11:39Actually, it was me.
11:41Little old me.
11:42Yeah, sorry about that.
11:43I couldn't help myself.
11:44Because, you see, my stepdaughter,
11:47she's a woman of colour and a paramedic,
11:50and this thing here, she abused her
11:52while she was out working a shift on the ambulance and that.
11:56How dare you say that?
11:59Don't listen to her!
12:01Are you getting this?
12:02Oh, yeah, I do.
12:03This is shocking.
12:04Oh, oh, they're listening, yeah.
12:06And the filming, see?
12:08So, you know, unless your chosen career
12:11is going around attacking key workers
12:12on account of the colour of their skin,
12:14I won't listen to a word this one says.
12:16I am not racist.
12:17So you just do colourplier scratching, do you?
12:19OK, everyone, I think we can safely say
12:21that this event is now officially cancelled.
12:23Thanks very much.
12:27Listen, I don't know what your name is.
12:29Oh, it's Bernie Love, Bernie Winter.
12:30You know, I like the season.
12:32And my stepdaughter's Asha Alehan.
12:34But you are serious.
12:36I'm going to regret this.
12:38Noted.
12:40OK, and you come.
12:41Come on, you two.
12:41Yeah, just put your bags down there, guys.
12:43Down there, Miles, that's it.
12:44OK, well, erm,
12:47I just want to say I'm really excited you're here.
12:51Hey, guys.
12:53Mum said we weren't like to be rude about the flat and that.
12:57Right.
13:00Er, how is your mum?
13:01Shocking.
13:03She's a mess.
13:05Understandably.
13:07No, no, of course.
13:09Er, well, I just want to say
13:11that I am over the moon
13:12that you're both here to stay.
13:14I mean, we both are, aren't we, Todd?
13:15Oh, yeah.
13:17Dad's very excited.
13:18So am I.
13:21Right, now, who's hungry, eh?
13:23Mmm.
13:24Now I am.
13:25Anyone else?
13:27Well, I was thinking of making a stir-fry.
13:30That sounds scarily healthy.
13:31We could order in.
13:32Oh, good idea.
13:33What are you thinking, Todd Squad?
13:34Well, there's a good Vietnamese place
13:36just opened up round the corner.
13:37You ever had Vietnamese before?
13:40Well, how about I get the menu up on my phone
13:43and, er, oh, we can, um,
13:45see if there's something you fancy.
13:46My shout.
13:50Come on, then.
13:50Come and have a look.
13:54So, obviously,
13:55chicken katsu curry's, like, a Japanese thing,
13:57but they've got, like, a Vietnamese version.
13:59Sort of redder sauce.
14:01Do you like spicy food?
14:02Mate, I'm...
14:07I'm sorry to hear that.
14:10I'm not half as sorry as I am.
14:13I knew things was rocky between us, but...
14:16after the holiday we just had,
14:18I thought things was on the up.
14:21Were you right about her and Carl?
14:24They both denied it till he was blue in the face.
14:27I don't know whether I'm coming or going.
14:32I'm sorry, mate.
14:32I don't even know what to say.
14:34Anyway, I didn't come here to talk about my problems.
14:37You're the one flat on your back.
14:39Mm, don't.
14:41Though I am open today to find out
14:42if I'm going to get discharged.
14:44I'll keep everything crossed for you, pal.
14:46It's more than that, though.
14:47I just...
14:48I just wish I could get some kind of update
14:50on who the hell did this to me.
14:51Well, have the police set out?
14:53Do you have any inkling?
14:54No, enough all.
14:56I'm starting to think I've got no hope of finding out.
15:01Oh!
15:04Oh!
15:05Jenny!
15:06You are very naughty.
15:09I expected to find you down on your hands and knees
15:11polishing your skirt in.
15:13Oh, well...
15:13And you know what we do to naughty boys, don't you, George?
15:17Well, fear not, help us at hand.
15:19And it comes in the shape of a certain
15:21tish and temptress.
15:22Ta-da!
15:23You what?
15:25Me!
15:26You'd have to, but I've come to clean for you.
15:28Oh, well, I don't think...
15:29And do you know what?
15:30If I do a good job, then you can pay me
15:31and then it won't seem weird, will it?
15:33You see, the thing is, Jenny...
15:34I mean, obviously, cleaning is beneath me.
15:37But anything for a trusted pal.
15:39Oh, what was that, dear?
15:40Beneath you?
15:41Gosh.
15:42Who do you think you are?
15:43Lady Sibyl?
15:45Pretty sure Daisy told me you used to clean
15:48in a factory round the corner.
15:49I've already hired Christina.
15:52Oh, by the way, you've got a bit of a...
15:54a little skid mark on your pinny there.
15:58Well, I suppose, you know,
15:59when you need a proper old scrubber,
16:01you better to call.
16:01I'm sorry, Jenny.
16:02Don't apologise to her!
16:05She's brazen!
16:06Where did you find her number?
16:07Was it a card?
16:08In a phone box, was it?
16:09Yeah.
16:09Jealousy has a very unattractive feature in it.
16:11Well, do you know what?
16:12I was about to say lady,
16:13but I wouldn't want to get sued
16:15under the Trade Description Act.
16:16Do you know what?
16:16I'm going to leave you two to it.
16:18Cos you deserve each other.
16:22Bye.
16:28So, unless your chosen career
16:29is in attacking key workers
16:32on account of the cause of their skin,
16:34I will listen to her word this once they've heard.
16:36What a brilliant day I have had.
16:38Are you for real?
16:39Yeah.
16:40Wait till you hear what I did, right?
16:42Oh, yeah, I know what you did.
16:44Amy and Nina have sent me videos.
16:45Right, so do I get an award?
16:47You know, Ally of the Year or what?
16:48Ally of...
16:49I'm mortified.
16:51Eh?
16:52I don't even want to look at you.
16:54Hang on, I've been standing up for you.
16:57Right, I looked that woman in the eye
16:59and I called her out for what she really is.
17:01You just don't get it, do you?
17:04No, clearly I don't.
17:06Blimey.
17:06I specifically asked you not to say anything.
17:10OK, not to do anything, not to...
17:12What, so I just stand there
17:13and let her get away with it, do I?
17:15Well, this is my problem.
17:18OK, not yours, it's my...
17:19We can't even prove that what she did was racist.
17:22Yeah, right.
17:23OK, so writing that, of all things...
17:25I thought it was pretty good, what I wrote, actually.
17:28I've spoken to the police
17:29and I want to let them deal with it.
17:31But the police...
17:32No, buts, Bernie.
17:33OK, none whatsoever.
17:35She was vile to me.
17:37Not you.
17:38Can you not get that through your head?
17:39Darling, I know you're upset.
17:42Look, I certainly don't need some sort of...
17:45white saviour riding to the rescue to sort it all out.
17:49OK?
17:54Oh, dear.
17:58Turns out you do like Vietnamese.
18:00Well, once this lot's gone down,
18:02why don't we take a drive?
18:03Trafford Centre?
18:05No? A bit boring?
18:06I don't know.
18:07Not bothered.
18:09OK.
18:10All right, that was the old Vietnamese, eh?
18:13It was all right.
18:14Yeah.
18:14Well, damning the faint praise.
18:16Is that as good as it gets?
18:17I mean, Todd paid for all that.
18:18It was a veritable feast.
18:20Thanks, Todd.
18:21Thanks.
18:22Oh, now, come on.
18:23Is that as good as it gets?
18:24What are you having a go at us for?
18:26We didn't ask to come here.
18:28I'm sorry?
18:29Let's acknowledge the other thing in the room, shall we?
18:31We're only seeing you because some daft court said we have to.
18:34Good enough for you, father.
18:37What?
18:37Mills.
18:38Millie?
18:39Mill?
18:39Mill?
18:39Mill?
18:54Who are you texting?
18:56You secret lover.
18:58Busted.
18:59Now, I was just checking the weather app.
19:02Is this going to rain?
19:03Surprise, surprise.
19:06It was so tense at home, you know.
19:09Jack could barely look at me.
19:10Now, I am relieved that things are over between me and Kevin, but I just feel so many things.
19:18I just feel sad.
19:21I feel guilty.
19:22I guess you're a decent person.
19:23I guess you're a decent person.
19:26A decent person wouldn't be seeing two brothers at the same time.
19:31Don't beat yourself up.
19:32Come on.
19:33Look, I can't keep working and living with him, though, can I?
19:36Just run away with me, Cal Webster.
19:41Let's just run away and start a new life together.
19:45Just me, you and Alfie.
19:46Oh, go on, then.
19:49I'll check my diary and get back to you.
19:52No, I mean it.
19:53The pipe dream's becoming a reality.
20:04White saviour.
20:05Well, that's what she called you.
20:06Yeah.
20:07Yeah, she did.
20:09You know, and I was a bit, I suppose.
20:12But I just went out to bat for her.
20:14You know, the same as I would with our Gemini or any of the kids.
20:18Do you know what I'm saying?
20:19Well, I can see why she feels that way.
20:21Yeah, but I was...
20:22But I can also see why you did it.
20:25I'm just so angry with the police, Dev, you know.
20:27The inertia.
20:28Yeah, I know, but it's like Kit says,
20:30something would have happened,
20:30it might just not have happened overnight.
20:33You don't hate me.
20:34I hate you.
20:36Honey, I adore you.
20:39I adore the fact that you stood up for my daughter.
20:41I just hope she forgives me.
20:42No, she will.
20:43No, I'm done.
20:47That'll be the postman.
20:49He's scared of the letterbox.
20:51Says it eats his hand.
20:53Are you serious?
20:54He's off his head, darling.
20:58Hello.
21:00What do you want?
21:01What the hell are you doing here?
21:02Oh, this is her.
21:03Yeah, I know who it is.
21:03Puncher Judy.
21:05My name's Naomi.
21:07And you're ridiculous.
21:08I'm sorry, you just can't come walking in here bold as grass.
21:11I shan't be along.
21:11I know you won't.
21:13See, I did a bit of digging around,
21:15found out your address.
21:17Just wanted to see her face when I told her.
21:19Told me what?
21:20You can't go around making false allegations.
21:23I'm no racist, right?
21:25I treat everybody the same,
21:27no matter what colour of the skin.
21:29Yeah, well, God help the human race, then.
21:30And I don't go attacking paramedics, got that?
21:33It's fine.
21:33Are we done?
21:34Not quite.
21:35I'm suing you, Mrs Winter.
21:40Miss?
21:40For defamation.
21:42So, see you in car.
21:44No, thank you.
22:08What are we going to do?
22:09Bernie, we have to fight.
22:10We don't have a choice.
22:13I heard shouting.
22:14Yeah, Naomi turned up.
22:16What, here?
22:17But she knows where I live?
22:19She's threatened to sue me.
22:20What?
22:20Right, listen, Adam said that if she goes ahead with you,
22:22then he's happy to represent you.
22:24Well, she can sue me all she likes.
22:25I've not got a penny to me name.
22:27Yeah, but they can still come after you.
22:28I've got about 80 quid in a biscuit tin under the bed.
22:30It's hardly worth the effort.
22:32Bernie, the courts, they've got powers.
22:33You've got to take money from your wages.
22:35You can have bailiffs knocking on the door.
22:36Yeah, but it's your house.
22:37We're getting legally married next week.
22:39What's mine will be yours.
22:44You know, this has consequences for all of us.
22:47You've not thought about that, have you?
22:48Yeah, but she abused you, right?
22:49She treated you like dirt.
22:51I wasn't just going to stand by and let...
22:52You know, this is so typical of you.
22:54Now, you like to think that you're helping,
22:55but all you've done is make everything worse.
23:00Carl, we've talked about this.
23:01We've made plans.
23:02Look, there's nothing I want more than to get away from here with you, but...
23:05For what?
23:08Well, the more I think about it, the more unrealistic it is.
23:15For a start, we don't have enough cash.
23:16Well, I'm not fussed about that.
23:19But the main thing is...
23:22Well, it's Debbie.
23:26I'm worried about her.
23:27I think she's getting worse.
23:30Really?
23:34She covers it pretty well, but I can see that she's struggling.
23:39I'm just, er...
23:40I'm just not comfortable leaving her right now.
23:47She's dead lucky having a brother like you.
23:49Putting your life on hold for her.
23:52For now, I think we should stick to the plan.
23:54We carry on as we are.
23:57Keep it a secret.
24:00Hey.
24:03We have our whole lives ahead of us.
24:06Me, you...
24:07and Alfie.
24:11Just got to be patient a little bit longer.
24:14OK.
24:15Yeah.
24:16Mills, please.
24:31Come on, we need to talk about this.
24:33I'm not coming out until it's time to go home.
24:37I'm not getting involved.
24:40I'm actually going to need the bog, so...
24:43Fine.
24:44Fine.
24:44All right.
24:45Come on out, Mills.
24:46I'll take you home.
24:48I'll get my stuff.
24:51I'm very disappointed in you two, you know.
24:53You've not even tried to make this work.
24:56I'm only here because the court ruled against Mum.
24:58I love you two.
24:59More than anything.
25:01That's not going to change.
25:01We have to find a way to make this work.
25:05Please, just take us home.
25:08Yeah, OK.
25:09Great.
25:10I hope Ash is OK.
25:12They have texted her, but she's not replied.
25:13Hmm.
25:14Maybe I'll pop round later, see what she's doing.
25:17Like, Naomi's still got her face like a smack backside.
25:21Mm-hmm.
25:21Serves a right, silly cow.
25:25Come on, Puff.
25:26Oh, look.
25:35Asha's here.
25:36Oh.
25:37I'm going to have a quick word with her.
25:38Tell her we're on her side if she needs us.
25:43Hey.
25:44You OK?
25:45Yeah, I'm fine.
25:47Sorry.
25:47Yeah.
25:48Yeah, thanks.
25:48OK, I'm so very, yeah.
25:51OK.
25:52Hey, I think this has gone far enough for me, so if I were you, I'd just turn around.
25:56Go on.
25:58Look, listen.
26:00OK, I haven't come here to talk about what happened with me and you.
26:03Nothing happened.
26:04Let's just agree to disagree, all right?
26:06Look, Ryan, can you, um, what do you mind?
26:08I want you to withdraw your complaint against Bernie.
26:17She's just rearing my reputation.
26:20Do you know, people were filming her pathetic outburst.
26:23OK, she and my dad have been through a lot.
26:25OK, they don't need this dress.
26:26And what about me?
26:27I haven't asked for any of this.
26:31Look, you want this to go away, well, go to the police.
26:35Tell them you got it wrong.
26:36No.
26:39No, look, I can't do that.
26:42Withdraw your allegations against me.
26:45Failing that.
26:47Well, I see you're all in court.
26:55We should be able to get you home soon.
26:57Hopefully sometime next week.
26:59Right, are you thinking Monday or...?
27:00Oh, we'll have to wait and see how you're doing.
27:02And what about my other leg?
27:05Because I still don't feel much.
27:06We can't put a time frame in that either, unfortunately.
27:09But it'll sort itself out eventually.
27:11We'll get you up on your feet, do a bit with the physio,
27:14see how you get on.
27:15I'll be back to see you tomorrow.
27:18Stay being laid up.
27:22The day's way too long.
27:24Well, you've been through a lot, like the doctor said.
27:26It'll take a while.
27:28Hmm.
27:29What about the garage?
27:31We'll cope.
27:32Yeah, but no work, no money.
27:34You'll get sick pay.
27:36That'll keep the wolf from the door.
27:37No, I've been with the big boss, man.
27:42We'll get ideas above the station next.
27:44Oh, give over.
27:45Do you know what?
27:46I'm very grateful to you.
27:47I...
27:48You didn't give me the job out of pity, did you?
27:50What?
27:50No, I'm grateful for the help.
27:52Been in agony with me tennis elbow, me housemaid's knee.
27:55Oh, what's this?
27:56Work's out in?
27:57Nope.
27:58It's a well-deserved break.
27:59Christine here, she's been working like a Trojan, haven't you, love?
28:02Do you know what?
28:02She's done a smashing job.
28:03I mean, those brass life fitness, they've come up lovely.
28:05I just gave a good brisk rub.
28:08My wrist action is legendary, you know.
28:09I bet it is.
28:10Er, thank you, Glenda.
28:12Same again, please.
28:13Right, you are.
28:16Welcome.
28:19She has got her feet well and surely under his table.
28:23No doubt about her.
28:25Do you know, I went to the funeral parlour this morning.
28:27Mary got at the ready.
28:28Blowsy Brenda there was already in sconce.
28:31You need to start baiting around the bush and make a proper move on him.
28:35He's not interested, Glenda.
28:38I've told you.
28:39I've been friend-zoned.
28:42What's say about that?
28:48Why are you on your own?
28:50Can I shut it, please?
28:51I just need a breather.
28:53You know, I wish you wouldn't lay into a burning like that.
28:55OK, she did the wrong thing, OK?
28:56But for the right reasons.
28:58OK, and I get that.
28:59No, but nothing's changed.
29:01OK, she's dropped us right, innit?
29:02She is beside herself.
29:03I've spent the best part of an hour trying to talk her down.
29:06From what?
29:06From all sorts.
29:07She wants to get to Kit involved, intimidating Naomi into dropping the case.
29:11It's not the worst idea I've ever owned.
29:13It is blackmail.
29:15She could end up in prison.
29:17OK, no.
29:17You know what she's like when she gets one on.
29:19Well, yeah, I get that, Dad.
29:20But no, I need to know, she can't afford to take a risk like that.
29:23She's got the whole family depending on her, because she's got Gemma, the five grandkits,
29:26this and, OK, it doesn't bear thinking about.
29:32Sorry, guys, I'll have to go out in a sec and make another call.
29:35You're addicted to that phone.
29:36That's what happens when you have a big, important job like mine.
29:40How was it?
29:41Really?
29:42Aw.
29:43Lovely.
29:43Oh, um, is everything all right?
29:45I see I found it a little heavy on the truffle oil.
29:47Yeah, it's not to everyone's taste, is it?
29:49I know it can be a bit overpowering.
29:50Yeah, it can be, especially when you use the synthetic stuff.
29:54All right, Gordon Ramsay.
29:55Sorry, it's just food is my big passion, so I get a bit.
29:58Oh, yeah.
29:58It's just lunch, isn't it?
30:00I mean, who cares?
30:01Actually, I do.
30:02No excuse for serving substandard food.
30:05Ollie?
30:05Not that I'm saying this was substandard or anything.
30:10Just coffees all round.
30:12Thanks, Toya.
30:13That's an unusual name.
30:14Um, yeah, my mum was obsessed with Toya Wilcox.
30:18She was a singer back in the day.
30:19She was this wild, punk, free-spirited woman.
30:24Yeah, it doesn't really suit me, does it?
30:25It could have been worse.
30:26It could have been named after Pauly Styrie.
30:28Hmm.
30:29Who's that?
30:30Anyway, I meant to say the veg was cooked to perfection.
30:36What, one minute you're biting her head off and then the next?
30:39Hey, mate, if you're still hungry, pop over to Roy's for a sausage roll.
30:42Definitely no truffle oil, eh?
30:43One more, please.
31:00Well?
31:01Got something to say to me?
31:03I've done as you asked.
31:04I contacted the police.
31:06Dropped the complaint against you.
31:08Finally.
31:09Seen sense.
31:11You've done the right thing.
31:12Right, now it's your turn.
31:15Okay, promise me that you'll leave Bernie alone.
31:19Maybe.
31:23Maybe not.
31:29I'll have to have a think.
31:30It's a talent, you know.
31:46Being able to rearrange your facial features to make exactly the right statement.
31:50Woo!
31:51Go on.
31:52Give it a go.
31:52That's not half bad, that.
32:00Yeah.
32:00Yeah, you've got the poignancy.
32:02Bit of pathos thrown in for good measure.
32:04I see.
32:05Go on, then.
32:06You have a go.
32:06Let's see the master at work.
32:11Oh, yes.
32:12Oh, yeah.
32:13You see what that is?
32:15Gravitas.
32:15Well observed.
32:18Yeah, not everyone had noticed that.
32:20Well, I see.
32:21Gravitas.
32:21Clear as day.
32:22Well, I've honed it for years.
32:25You know what?
32:26I could just see myself walking in front of a hearse.
32:29All that gear.
32:30Little pair of low heels.
32:31Black hat.
32:32Little black veil.
32:33Yeah.
32:34Er, excuse me.
32:35What, you're saying you can't imagine me as a funeral director?
32:37No, no.
32:38But we do tread a fine line, Christina.
32:40Oh.
32:40Yeah, I mean, primarily, you're there as a reassuring presence, but, um, you've got to
32:45be careful you don't pull focus away from their dearly departed.
32:48Mm-hmm.
32:51With your good looks, no way you're going to be able to blend into the background.
33:03Oh, my God.
33:05Did you see that?
33:06It looked like she was about to lick his face off.
33:09It's no good.
33:10I've lost the fights.
33:11Oh, don't be daft.
33:13Got me in your side.
33:15Secret weapon.
33:17We need to set a trap.
33:20A man trap.
33:24If she wins, the Costco will run into tens of thousands.
33:28Well, I've asked Roy if I can do more shifts.
33:31Well, that's not going to make a dent, is that?
33:34Anyway, you run ragged as it is.
33:36Yeah, I know.
33:37I'm going to be meeting myself, coming back.
33:44Hi, Adam.
33:46What, seriously?
33:49Do you know why?
33:52No?
33:53Okay, okay, okay.
33:54Well, um, thanks for letting me know, love.
33:57Ta-ra.
33:59Oh, you'll never guess what.
34:03The stroppy little mare has dropped the case against me.
34:06What?
34:08What?
34:09And did he say why?
34:10He didn't know.
34:11Yeah, but honey, why would she?
34:13Well, I did have a word in the Morrigan's ear.
34:16The what?
34:16The Morrigan.
34:18Celtic warrior goddess.
34:19Perhaps she put a rocket up her on my behalf.
34:22Whatever it was, this is such a relief.
34:24Okay, you dodged a bullet there.
34:25I'm going to please just promise to behave yourself.
34:28Never.
34:31Honey, good news.
34:33That woman, Naomi, she's, uh, dropped the complaint.
34:37Oh, that's great news.
34:39Right, so listen, let's do something to celebrate.
34:42I've got a shift tonight, but, yeah, you two go ahead.
34:46All right.
34:47Yes, sir.
35:05You back, then?
35:08Millie's fine.
35:09Thanks for asking.
35:10I'm sure she is.
35:11She always finds a way of getting exactly what she wants.
35:13I'll cut her some slack, Todd.
35:14She's only a kid.
35:17You know, you do her no favours by letting her walk all over us.
35:21You need to be tougher on her.
35:22I'm not taking parenting advice from you.
35:23What do you know?
35:25Help raise Summer.
35:26From a distance, whenever you felt like it,
35:28one of three dads, it's hardly the same, is it?
35:37Sorry if I was a bit of pain.
35:39A bit of pain?
35:41You're rude, Ollie.
35:43Hardly obnoxious.
35:44He was a little bit rude, but he apologised.
35:48I don't know.
35:48I just feel like I've seen a different side to you.
35:51I can't believe you'd kick off over something so small.
35:55Come on, I bet you're thinking I should end this relationship right now.
36:00It's between you and Ollie.
36:01I'm asking your opinion.
36:02I think you're overreacting a little bit.
36:04And if I'm honest, I agree.
36:06Why don't we talk about this later?
36:08Just the two of us.
36:09What, so you can talk me round, get in my head?
36:12I don't think so.
36:14I wouldn't.
36:14Dee, listen to yourself.
36:16This isn't about Ollie.
36:17You're hyper-vigilant because of Joel.
36:24Look, let's not just talk about this later.
36:26We need to go back to work.
36:28Gotta get this.
36:29We'll catch you up.
36:30Hiya.
36:37Yeah.
36:39Yeah, don't worry about that.
36:41Yeah, I'll find out what I can.
36:43Do a bit of digging.
36:44You going out?
36:55There's no point staying here, is there?
36:58You cut the atmosphere with a knife.
37:00Going for a pint with George.
37:01At least he likes spending time with me.
37:03I'm sorry.
37:06You're right.
37:07I should be firmer with her.
37:10Just like me old nan used to say,
37:11I'm neither using an ornament.
37:12I wouldn't go that far.
37:16Do you know, sometimes I just think I'm a total failure.
37:19I just let everybody down.
37:24Come on, you.
37:27Won't you come with us?
37:28Be alive?
37:30No.
37:33Why don't you jib him?
37:34Hey?
37:35Stay in with me.
37:37I don't know.
37:38I mean, I've texted him now.
37:39I like it better when it's just you and me.
37:41Maybe we could, like, I don't know, hunker down.
37:43Watch a film.
37:47Do you know what?
37:47Don't worry about it.
37:50You go and see your mate.
37:51I'll be fine.
37:55Do you know what?
37:56I'd rather spend some time with you.
37:59Text from Todd.
38:14Blowing me out.
38:15Gonna spend a bit of quality time with his beloved.
38:18Yeah.
38:19Do you know what?
38:20However hard I try, I cannot take to that fear.
38:24Oh?
38:25Always found him quite pleasant.
38:26What have you taken against him?
38:29Oh, I don't know.
38:30It was just that night of the flatwarming.
38:32Just a sort of a flash of something in his eyes.
38:38Wish me luck.
38:40Going in.
38:46Hey.
38:47Check this out.
38:49Oh, bless you.
38:50Did you get a five-year-old to do that?
38:52I think the colouring is lovely.
38:53Look, you've almost managed to stay inside the lines there.
38:56Look, how dare you cast aspersions on my artwork.
38:59The very cheek of it.
39:01Dating, Glenda.
39:02I'm surprised you're venturing down that route again.
39:04I have taken the liberty to signing you up, George.
39:07Er, no.
39:07Don't think so.
39:08Oh, wouldn't you love to find a gorgeous woman?
39:12You know, a life partner who's got your back.
39:15And someone to snuggle up with.
39:16You put it like that.
39:18I suppose you should chuck me hat in the ring.
39:19Yeah.
39:20Yeah, do you know what?
39:21Go on, stick my name on the list and all.
39:23Oh, isn't that a bit soon, love?
39:25Aren't you still grieving?
39:27No, Tom wouldn't want me to be miserable forever.
39:29Plus, I have been desperate to wear my new leopard print blouse.
39:33So, ha.
39:42Hiya.
39:43Glass of red wine, please.
39:44Yeah, I'll bring it over in a sec.
39:46Speed dating?
39:47It was a total nightmare last time.
39:49Do you never learn?
39:50Oh, that's the spirit.
39:51Don't you just love to spread the joy?
39:54Do you know what?
39:54I think it's going to be lovely.
39:55The dregs of Weatherfield all rounded up in one place.
39:59Talk about a living hell.
40:03Could I have an orange juice, please?
40:04I'm just going to dip to Lou.
40:06Oh, speed dating.
40:08Glad I don't have to bother with that anymore.
40:10Well, we don't all live with a sex squad.
40:12No need to rub it in our noses.
40:14I don't know, Tracey's got a point.
40:16It's not much of a plan.
40:17Well, it's the only plan we've got, so you need to embrace it.
40:20Well, is he definitely only up for it?
40:22The bait is hooked.
40:24Play your cards right.
40:26And the big fish will soon bite.
40:28Yeah, well, that's all well and good,
40:29but I'm pretty sure there's a nasty, great big shark circling.
40:35Stop it.
40:41Hey, love, listen.
40:43I've come to ask you a good favour.
40:45Will you pop round to our Kevins?
40:47I think we all need to rally round him.
40:49You know, while he's in such a bad way.
40:51Yeah, sure.
40:57What's all this?
40:59I've just, I've come to give him his wages.
41:03Oh, how very quaint.
41:05You're still paying cash, do you?
41:07No-one told you everything's digital these days.
41:10No, we had to chat about my hours.
41:12I have to really step up now that Tyrone's on the sick.
41:15Exactly, it's all hands on deck.
41:16Look, I've got to go.
41:17Right.
41:17Look at her, eh?
41:22Racing off like her backside's on fire.
41:24So what, she's a busy woman?
41:30Have you two...
41:30What?
41:33No!
41:33Don't be stupid.
41:35I mean, I don't even want to go there.
41:38But if you've betrayed our Kevin like that, I mean, your own brother.
41:43No, doesn't even bear thinking about.
41:45Debbie, there's nothing going on, I swear.
41:48You know, Kevin's already accused me.
41:49Now you are.
41:50I can't believe you both think so little of me.
41:59Do you know what?
42:01What?
42:03I feel like her weight has been lifted.
42:05Honey, you had a lucky escape.
42:07Honey, here she is, the fruits of my loins.
42:11You know, honey, every time I see you in that uniform, my heart just sings.
42:14Especially now.
42:16Dad.
42:16What?
42:17But Asha, I'm so sorry about everything.
42:21Look, I know.
42:23I just want to forget about it.
42:24No, no, no, you'd suffered enough without me making things worse.
42:27I'm just glad that Naomi finally saw sense.
42:30I'd better get going.
42:31Hey.
42:32Are you sure you're ready to go back?
42:34Yeah, you've been under the cosh, love.
42:37You know, no-one would blame you if you were to keep a low profile for a bit longer.
42:41I'm fine.
42:41You are absolutely sure?
42:44Worth going in just to get away from you.
42:46Yeah, charming.
42:47See ya.
42:49Bye, darling.
42:49I'm so proud.
42:55Yeah, my girl, she's an absolute marvel.
42:57She's strong, she's determined.
42:58She's like, just ready for anything.
43:00I'm so proud.
