00:00Right, come on, love.
00:23We've got to get some breakfast down here.
00:25And, you know, we've got to get going soon.
00:27Otherwise, we're going to miss visiting hours.
00:30But he's not here yet.
00:32He was supposed to be here an hour ago.
00:36Has he answered your text yet?
00:37No, but it says it's been read.
00:40Oh, well, if he's read it and not replied, then...
00:43Well, maybe his car's still being fixed.
00:46Or maybe something else has held him up and he can't make it.
00:49But he should have let you know.
00:53Please, can't we just give him a little bit more time?
00:55All right.
00:5820 minutes.
00:59But then if he's not here by then, we've got to go.
01:02I mean, you want to see your mum, don't you?
01:05Yeah, but I want to see my dad too.
01:07Come on, come on, let's get a move on.
01:11I don't want to miss this bus.
01:13Why can't we have a lift?
01:14Because I told you I've got a customer in at nine
01:16and I've had to park my car over on Tyle Street.
01:20What are you looking at?
01:24Do you want me to take them in?
01:26No, I think it's best to get the bus.
01:28Okay.
01:29You don't trust her with us on her own.
01:31Did I say that?
01:32We're not stupid.
01:34Right, your bus is here now.
01:35Go on.
01:35Jump on.
01:36I'll get you a chippy tea later to make up for it.
01:38Do you have a good one or get in the way?
01:39Have a good day.
01:41See you, girls.
01:42Bye.
01:45Sorry.
01:46I understand.
01:52All right.
01:53Tea and biscuit.
01:55Mrs Periwinkle.
01:56What are we having then?
01:57Cut, rinse, extra long head massage?
02:01Hey, you do spore me, David.
02:02Well, don't be telling anyone.
02:04Can't have all my clients knowing your special treatments.
02:08What are you doing?
02:10Sorry.
02:12Well, it might help if you weren't texting all the time.
02:15What are you...
02:16Lauren?
02:19Well, yeah.
02:20I'm just, you know, checking in on her, aren't I?
02:25Just shut your ears a sec, Mrs P.
02:27Just a bit of family business, that's all.
02:30Does Sabrina know about this?
02:33Well, no, but...
02:35There's nothing going on.
02:36I'm just worried about her.
02:39Why?
02:39She should be happy as Larry.
02:41I mean, she got off with a caution.
02:43Yeah, but she's got no one looking out for her.
02:46She's got nowhere to stay.
02:47Well, she's got Roy.
02:49A new Bezzy.
02:50He sorted her out of her B&B, didn't he?
02:52Well, yeah, but I don't know if she's got there, okay?
02:54I don't know if...
02:55Look, you need to stop worrying about her, all right?
02:57I know you think you've got some sort of special bond going on with her, Max,
03:00but believe me, she's hard as nails.
03:02She's only looking out for herself.
03:03So you're just worrying about sweeping up, okay?
03:10Phew!
03:11What about that rain before, eh?
03:13It's terrible.
03:16Morning.
03:17Morning.
03:17How was the B&B?
03:19Nice.
03:20Glad to hear that.
03:21I wish I could have secured you a longer stay.
03:24Two nights is great and super kind here.
03:27Yeah, well, super kind is my uncle's middle name.
03:29Or is that two middle names?
03:31Now, we need to decide what happens next.
03:33I think contacting social services is the thing to do.
03:37No way, no.
03:39No.
03:41I don't want to end up in care.
03:45Well, I'm sure there'll be plenty of other options.
03:47I'd rather sort something myself.
03:48How?
03:50I don't know.
03:51But something will turn up.
03:54I'm not worried.
03:58So it's been accepted?
04:00Yep.
04:01Fresco's solicitor called me an hour ago.
04:03Units are hard, subject to paperwork, etc.
04:05That's just me.
04:08You've made my day, my day, my year.
04:10Teamwork.
04:10Well met, my friend.
04:11It's in it indeed.
04:12And you know what?
04:12We've got the golf club to thank for, haven't we?
04:14Yeah, in that tricky 11th hole.
04:15Yeah, you know, when I accused you of hitting my ball.
04:16Yeah, I called you that on mentionable word.
04:18We should celebrate with Bernie and Courtney, too.
04:21No, absolutely.
04:21Tomorrow night.
04:22Perfect.
04:23And Courtney's got a spin class.
04:24I'm sure she could miss it just this once.
04:25You should invite Ardy.
04:26He had a hand in this deal, too.
04:27No, of course.
04:28Of course.
04:28It's just, um...
04:29Well, don't want to make you feel uncomfortable.
04:31How do you mean?
04:32We're going to be the only kid on a table full of adults.
04:34Do you think you'd feel like that?
04:35We're going to fix it.
04:37Come in!
04:38Hey!
04:38It's so good night.
04:40Hi, uh, Amy.
04:41This is, uh...
04:42Amy.
04:43This is, uh, Ardy's friend.
04:44Friend?
04:45Or friend?
04:46Friend.
04:48Actually, Amy, um...
04:50What are you doing tomorrow night?
04:52Why?
04:53It's just that, uh, you know,
04:54me and Darren were out celebrating a successful business deal.
04:57Courtney's going to be there.
04:58Bernie's going to be there.
04:58Ardy, you know, Maze is going to be there.
05:00Yeah, I'm really sorry, but I am busy.
05:03Busy doing what?
05:04None of your business.
05:05Hey, she clearly doesn't fancy it.
05:06Or your son.
05:08No, I really am busy.
05:09And I've just remembered that I'm trying to go gluten-free.
05:14So...
05:14Eww, well played, son.
05:21Quickly getting a client for the journey.
05:23What are you going to ask me?
05:24Nothing.
05:25Oh, don't give me that.
05:26You go bonkers for a custard slice.
05:28I don't want anything.
05:30Yeah, but you've had no breakfast.
05:31Well, I was supposed to have breakfast with my dad.
05:33But you made us leave.
05:35You know what?
05:35We waited two hours for him, and he didn't show.
05:38He didn't reply to your text, and he didn't reply to your call.
05:41Well, what if he's turned up now and there's no one in?
05:44Well, that's his own stupid fault.
05:46He's not stupid.
05:48Look, you'll have to see your dad another time.
05:51Are you coming in?
05:52No, I want to wait in the car.
05:55Oh, Eliza.
05:56Can I have the keys, please?
05:57Oh, Eliza.
06:27Oh, new client?
06:29Not exactly.
06:30Oh.
06:31Well, again.
06:33This is the man who got Lauren off of a caution, Adam.
06:36Yeah, so I gather.
06:37Taking our business, eh?
06:39I'm sure this lady could have done the same.
06:41I'm not so sure about that.
06:43Actually, I have just seen her.
06:44She want me to thank you again.
06:47Well, it's a good job I'm here, isn't it?
06:48So what was it you wanted to see me about?
06:53You mentioned yesterday you'd worked in America.
06:56I'm thinking of going over there for a while.
06:58I wondered if you might have any advice.
06:59Bearing in mind it's a totally different legal system.
07:01Oh, it sure is.
07:03Do you think you might be able to talk me through it?
07:05Well, yeah.
07:06My first client's not for an hour, so...
07:08I've actually got to get back to my office, but are you free later?
07:11We could chat over a drink.
07:13My treat, obviously.
07:15Well, it just so happens that I am.
07:19Great.
07:20Should we meet somewhere local?
07:22Yeah, local's good.
07:23How's the Rovers?
07:24Perfect.
07:25What time?
07:26Oh, well, my last client is at...
07:29Three.
07:30Three?
07:31So, be free by four.
07:34It's a date to discuss US law.
07:37I'm looking forward to it.
07:38If I arrive first, it's a glass of red.
07:44Oh, well remembered.
07:45Pay attention, me.
07:46I'll see you later.
07:48Nice to meet you, Adam.
07:49See you.
07:52Do you know, it is a while since another solicitor wanted my advice.
07:56Yeah, that's exactly what he wants.
08:08Right, now, I know you said you didn't want a custard slice, but I got you one, right?
08:14It's the biggest in the shop, oozing custard.
08:18Nearly ate it myself.
08:19I told you I didn't want anything.
08:21Oh, come on, Eliza.
08:22I know you're angry with your dad.
08:24I'm not angry with my dad.
08:26I'm angry with you.
08:28Me?
08:28You won't let me wait for him.
08:30And you called him stupid.
08:32Yeah, well, yeah, I shouldn't have said that.
08:34So why did you?
08:36Because...
08:37Because he let you down.
08:39You don't know anything.
08:41Well, what I do know is that this is the second time he's done it.
08:44His car broke down.
08:45Can't blame him for that.
08:47If his car really broke down...
08:48Why would he lie?
08:51Because...
08:51Because I just don't think he cares about you.
08:54It's not true.
08:55Oh, come on, he's never bothered with you in your entire life.
08:59Then all of a sudden, he wants a film night, but he doesn't turn up.
09:02Then he wants a breakfast, and he doesn't turn up.
09:05If he cared about you, he would have turned up.
09:10I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.
09:15Where are you going?
09:15I'm going home.
09:18Maybe he's there.
09:19Oh, look, Eliza.
09:25Eliza!
09:28Eliza!
09:32Eliza.
09:44Hey!
09:45Darling, where does it hurt?
09:50My arm!
09:50I fell on my arm!
09:51Okay, listen, all right, sweetheart.
09:52Don't worry, I'm going to get you to the hospital.
09:55Can you stand, or shall I call an ambulance?
09:58I can stand up.
09:59Okay.
09:59Okay, now, listen, you hold your arm, right?
10:02And you keep it still.
10:03Ready?
10:04Come on, we're going to get up.
10:05Okay?
10:05Ow!
10:06Come on, go.
10:07Come on.
10:08Be brave.
10:09Hold it still.
10:09Hold it still.
10:10Hold it still.
10:11And that flat's freezing.
10:15Boilers on the blink.
10:16Sometimes I just sit there in two cardigans and long socks.
10:19Do you know, I've asked for mine to send for one of those electric blankets.
10:26I mean, Tyrone could pay for it unless he wants his grandmother to die of hypothermia,
10:33which he probably does.
10:35It is September, and the weather is remarkably clever.
10:38Mm.
10:39Well, I am very sensitive to cold in me extremities, you see.
10:43What I'm really worried about is the kids.
10:46Because what if a dealer came round where the kids were in?
10:50Mm?
10:50Oh.
10:51I just sit there shivering with me heart banging.
10:55Perhaps he feels that she needs support,
10:58that being in a family environment might keep her on the straight and narrow.
11:02Well, perhaps he's a fool.
11:03Or that he's unwilling to abandon someone so far.
11:09Have you, er, finished with that?
11:11Yes, thank you.
11:17You're too soft.
11:19Perhaps you're too hard.
11:22What, because I don't want Tyrone to be taken advantage of?
11:26Because Cathy can wind anybody round a little finger.
11:30And if I'm not mistaken, so could she.
11:33Oh.
11:39Hello?
11:41Oh, Piz.
11:42Ah, it's nice to hear a friendly voice.
11:46Me?
11:47Oh, you know.
11:49Can't complain.
11:50Well, I never do.
11:56Why do you need me, though?
11:57Well, if you're a big part of this deal,
11:59and that Darren has specifically asked you to come.
12:01Did he really?
12:01Yeah, he really raised you.
12:03I mean, I did have plans.
12:04What plans?
12:05Just plans.
12:07Plans.
12:07Got plans.
12:07Just plans.
12:08Come on, man.
12:09It'll be fun.
12:11Darren needs a good bloke.
12:12You get on work with Courtney, and we're celebrating.
12:14That means you get to order what you want, and your old man's paying.
12:18Fine, I'll be there.
12:19Thanks, Dad.
12:20Yeah, don't mention it, son.
12:23Now, what is it with you youngsters?
12:26Yeah, say you want to be treated like grown-ups.
12:28As soon as you get off the seat at the table, you try your best to swerve it.
12:30Maybe he's got his reasons.
12:31What reasons?
12:34Come on, he's probably just a little bit worried.
12:35He's got nothing to chat about.
12:37Mind that having someone his own age there would really help.
12:40I already said no.
12:41Yeah, and I heard you, but this could be a great opportunity for you.
12:46How?
12:47Loads of money.
12:50You see that Darren, he invests loads of money in good causes.
12:55So perhaps you could talk to him about your woman's counselling service.
13:00Bing!
13:05Well, you heard what the doctor said.
13:07It's only a minor fracture.
13:08Yeah, and they're going to put you in a cast.
13:12So I reckon you're going to be right as rain in no time at all.
13:16Will I still be able to play the guitar?
13:18Yeah, of course.
13:20I mean, maybe not for a while.
13:22But, you know, some of the greatest musicians have been in pain,
13:25and they've put it into the music.
13:27So I reckon you're going to play that guitar better than ever once you're recovered.
13:32You don't know that.
13:37I want my dad.
13:38Can you call him, please?
13:41Yeah.
13:42Yeah, of course I can.
13:47Walk time.
13:49You just can't bring yourself to say walkies, can you?
13:52I don't see the need to infantilise animals.
13:55Yeah, you're right.
13:56Best to teach them the correct grammar, eh?
13:59Hi.
13:59What do you want me to do now?
14:01Erm, you knocked your break off, yeah?
14:03You can take it if you want.
14:04No, it's all right.
14:05I could do the parts if you like.
14:06Yeah, yeah, if you're sure.
14:08Yeah.
14:08Or is.
14:09Yeah.
14:10Sit.
14:10Yeah, she's a good person.
14:16She works hard.
14:17She's kind.
14:18I simply feel that life has dealt her a difficult hand.
14:22Yeah.
14:22How would you feel about her living with us in the flat?
14:29I don't know if that's a good idea.
14:31I know it's not without risk, but I worry about her not having a secure place to live.
14:39You yourself have experienced what it's like being in accommodation, where you feel unsafe.
14:44It drove you onto the streets.
14:47Surely you wouldn't want the same for Laura?
14:49Of course I don't.
14:51But I'm worried about you.
14:53Yeah, she's vulnerable, but she's unstable.
14:55And whilst I think it's great what you're doing to help, I just don't think her living
14:59is a good idea.
15:00I'm sorry.
15:01Did you manage to finish the invoices?
15:07I started.
15:08Paperwork's not my strong point.
15:10Erm, you could vacuum the inside of that fiesta out back if you want.
15:13Hmm.
15:14Sure.
15:15I want to finish my tea.
15:17It's okay, isn't it?
15:18Yeah, of course it is.
15:19Perhaps you could make us all one, eh?
15:22You see, Bats.
15:24Don't.
15:26What are you doing here?
15:28Where's she gone off to?
15:29She's gone to make us a brick.
15:30Oh, right.
15:31Well, she's doing something.
15:33That's good.
15:34Er, she's working really hard, actually.
15:36Well, just so long as it lasts past the first pay packet.
15:41I thought you didn't want any more arguing.
15:42I don't.
15:43I'm only here because your wife called me.
15:47Did she?
15:47Why?
15:48Why?
15:49Because we're still close, or have you forgotten?
15:51And it's absolutely clear to me that she knew nothing about Cassie's relapse or finding her.
15:59Right, well, you didn't tell her, did you?
16:00No.
16:01No, no, you have to do that.
16:04Well, I will, when the time's right.
16:07The time's right now, Tyrone, because if you don't, I will.
16:11I saw him, and he said, take me to Eliza.
16:19I love him.
16:20I knew you would.
16:22So, what happened exactly?
16:26Well, she walked out into the road.
16:29She wasn't looking in her car, either.
16:31And, er, before you ask, no, they didn't stop, they just drove up.
16:35Why wasn't she looking?
16:36We were arguing.
16:38About what?
16:39Does it matter?
16:40You.
16:42Oh, really?
16:43Look, she was upset, because you didn't turn up for breakfast, like you didn't turn up for the film night.
16:48My car broke down.
16:50And this morning?
16:51Yeah, it still wasn't fixed.
16:52I told you.
16:53Well, you could have let her know.
16:55My phone went out of battery.
16:56Well, no, she said that you'd read the text.
16:58Yeah, I read it when I had 1% left, and then it ran out as I was replying.
17:03Convenience.
17:05You calling me a liar?
17:06Yeah.
17:07Grandad?
17:07I am.
17:08I was beside myself.
17:09I went home to charge my phone, and I was literally about to call you when your grandad ran.
17:13He said you were in hospital.
17:15Likely story.
17:16The truth.
17:18You seemed pretty keen to blame me when you were the one who let her walk into the path of an oncoming car.
17:22Yeah, well, I couldn't get to it in time.
17:25Younger man might have.
17:26Perhaps you're too old to be looking after a child.
17:29I would say, yeah.
17:31Hi, Eliza.
17:32I've come to take you to get your cast fitted, love.
17:34Great.
17:35I'll go with you, love.
17:37I'd rather my dad come.
17:43Right, it's not your place to go calling, Fizz.
17:45No, it's yours, and you haven't.
17:48Which is appalling, because she is Hope's mother.
17:51Can you take this somewhere, Loth?
17:52Miss Middleton is about to pick up her car.
17:54I don't want to cause all this upset.
17:56Oh, she don't want to cause all this.
17:57No, no, it's your attitude that started all this in Thursday.
17:59Here we go.
18:00Here we go.
18:01Can we please, please, please just stop?
18:03You were the one that came over here mouthing it off to me.
18:05Yeah, because his wife should know all about this.
18:08Don't you dare call her.
18:09Can I interrupt?
18:11Not really, no.
18:12Might I suggest we discuss this calmly over a cup of tea in the cafe?
18:17Oh, perfect.
18:18That'll solve everything.
18:19That is a great idea.
18:20Off you all go.
18:21Now!
18:23Come along, Freddie.
18:24Hey, sorry I couldn't get here any sooner.
18:42How is she?
18:43Yeah, you know, she's fine, but she's fractured her arm.
18:46She's getting a cast for it.
18:47What, by herself?
18:49Well, she's got the person that she wants with her.
18:52Who?
18:53Dom.
18:55Dom.
18:58It was my fault that she got hit by the car.
19:01How is it your fault?
19:02You said that she walked out into the road.
19:05I should have looked after her better.
19:08I shouldn't have upset her.
19:09This is not your fault.
19:11It's his.
19:12He's the one that's let her down, not you.
19:16I mean, you wouldn't have been arguing if he'd turned up.
19:20He said I was too old.
19:22I hope he didn't react quick enough.
19:25That's not true.
19:27You weren't there, though.
19:29You look after Eliza brilliantly.
19:32Don't let Dom get to you.
19:33Yeah, but he's got to hurt her.
19:35I mean, all he's ever done is let her down.
19:38And yet Eliza thinks the sun shines out of his backside.
19:41Backside that I made very clear that I like the kick.
19:43She's just found her dad.
19:46He's all shiny and new and nothing that he says or does is going to dull that right now.
19:53But if he's as dodgy as you say he is, then the shine's going to wear off quickly.
19:57And she's going to need someone there to pick up the pieces.
20:01So just let her know that you're going to be there for her.
20:05Let her know that you're her rock.
20:07Accept the fact that she's going to throw a few stones at you and put up with it.
20:12Because you're a rock.
20:15And a few stones aren't going to hurt you.
20:24Oh, hiya.
20:25I'm sorry I'm late.
20:26No, you know what? I was early.
20:28Too keen.
20:29Not at all. You're clearly a man who's interested in his work.
20:32Speaking of which, I've dug this out for you.
20:34You know, it's great on the manuscript.
20:35You're welcome to borrow it if you want.
20:37But I just thought I could give you, like, a bigger picture talk through first.
20:42Sounds perfect.
20:43Amazing.
20:44It's a great chance for me to flex my memory.
20:48So.
20:49Then the dog says, I don't even like ice cream.
20:53Hey, guess who I found.
20:55Hiya.
20:55Hi.
20:56Nice cast.
20:57Yeah, that looks really cool.
20:59I half want one meself.
21:01Oh, this is my dad.
21:03Hi, I'm Dom.
21:04You are?
21:05Alia.
21:06Yasmeen's granddaughter.
21:07Eliza tells me great things about Yasmeen.
21:09And you.
21:11Well, she's a great girl.
21:12We're delighted that she's living with us.
21:15So, what did the nurse say?
21:18That she's free to go, but she'll have to come back and get a proper cast fitted in a few days.
21:21Ah, that's great news.
21:23And I've spoken to your mum.
21:24She sends her love.
21:25And she's looking forward to seeing you next week with your new fashion accessory.
21:29Cool.
21:30So, what do you fancy doing this evening?
21:33I reckon pizza's on the menu.
21:35I want to go with my dad.
21:39That's okay, isn't it?
21:41Erm, yeah, of course.
21:42Erm, we could have our film night.
21:46Yeah, that's what you want to do.
21:48That's fine.
21:48Erm, but we're going to have to get an overnight bag, yeah?
21:52Not just for tonight.
21:57I want to live with him.
21:58What have you been filling your head with?
22:12Take it easy.
22:13I didn't say anything.
22:15This is news to me, too.
22:16I can make my own mind up.
22:19Clearly not!
22:20I'm going to leave you guys to it.
22:22Are you sure?
22:24I mean, this affects you, too.
22:25I think it might be a calmer chat if I'm not around.
22:30Okay, Eliza, do you want to talk us through it?
22:33Does it matter?
22:35I've made my decision.
22:36It matters because you're a child.
22:39You don't get to decide things like this.
22:41Who says?
22:42The law!
22:44It says I'm your guardian.
22:45Well, I don't want you to be!
22:47I can't...
22:48Why don't we all just calm down?
22:50Take a breath.
22:52Eliza, please.
22:53Why do you want to live with Dom?
22:55Because he's fun.
22:56And he's my dad.
22:58Fun?
22:59Fun does not put food on the table.
23:01He's got a job.
23:02Maybe.
23:03But he can't look after you.
23:05And you can!
23:07All right, Stu, why don't you get us some snacks?
23:10No, no.
23:10I want to sort this out.
23:12Stu.
23:15All right, but I won't be long.
23:19Ooh!
23:20Nice to see you on the other side of the counter today.
23:22What could I get you?
23:23Uh, a pot of tea, please.
23:25Coming up.
23:27And what brings you all in here today, then?
23:29Does a bit of privacy come with that pot of tea?
23:35Aye, aye, I'll start, shall I?
23:37No, I will.
23:39Have you learnt nothing about keeping secrets from your wife?
23:44I don't know what you're talking about.
23:45Oh, well, I'll say it again, this time in Romanian.
23:48Right, that's different, and you know it is.
23:50I don't want Fizz worrying.
23:52But why would she worry if she's a beacon of innocence?
23:55See, this is what she does.
23:58She can twist anything to suit her own agenda.
24:00Roy, he agrees with me, don't you?
24:02Tell him.
24:03Well, I can see both sides.
24:05How do you get the creosote stains out of your trousers, then?
24:11Pardon?
24:11From sitting on the fence.
24:13Go on, just commit yourself to an opinion for once.
24:15Go on.
24:16Well, perhaps Evelyn has a point.
24:20Fizz has a right to know the facts.
24:25In an ideal world, yeah, but you know what she's like.
24:28She'll be back here trying to make sure everything's OK.
24:30Which it is, by the way.
24:32And I don't want her ruining that job.
24:34Well, in that case, perhaps, maybe, as a compromise,
24:38you could think about moving back to the flat,
24:41swapping with Evelyn.
24:42I'm not so sure that's a good idea.
24:44Why not?
24:45He wants someone to keep an eye on me.
24:47Well, then, Evelyn could remain at the flat.
24:51Though you could be together.
24:53Ha!
24:54I am not spending another minute alone with that witch.
24:57And the feeling is completely mutual.
24:59Well, I'm reminded of the riddle of the fox,
25:04the chicken and the bag of grain.
25:06How am I in that little story, then?
25:10You're the redhead with the feathers stuck between her teeth.
25:14Ah, so you must be the chicken.
25:15Yeah, that makes sense.
25:16The cowardly one.
25:17Ha!
25:17Ha!
25:18Ha!
25:19Well, I'm lost.
25:20Yeah, well, you must be the bag of grain.
25:22You're dense enough.
25:23Ha!
25:24Ha!
25:24Oh, what a way to speak to a grandson.
25:27Right, I've said my say.
25:28Now, I should just be silent if that's what you prefer.
25:31With all my heart.
25:34Fine.
25:36Fine.
25:42I think that you should stay at ours tonight.
25:45I mean, you're already an arm down.
25:46You could do without a house move.
25:48So once my arms are better, I can stay at my dad's?
25:51Not necessarily.
25:54You're as bad as my grandad.
25:56Why does no-one care about what I want?
25:58Of course we do.
26:00My grandad wants everything his way.
26:04That's not true.
26:06I wish I never moved in with him.
26:08What?
26:08I hate him.
26:11Look, I know that this is a bit of a tough situation,
26:14but you can be really ungrateful sometimes.
26:17Ungrateful?
26:18Yeah.
26:19Grandad's Stu's age.
26:21They spend a few hours a week with their grandchildren,
26:24and then they go back to enjoying their retirement.
26:27Stu?
26:28He's working day in and day out.
26:31He's making sure that you're safe and that you're healthy
26:34and that you've got everything that you need.
26:36So if he's got reservations about you moving in with your dad,
26:38I would listen to him if I were you.
26:41Because no-one cares about you as much as your grandad does.
26:43How can we resolve this to everyone's life?
26:50What a flat I have to live in.
26:55Hey, nobody kicked you out of our house.
26:56If you don't like that grotty little flat,
26:58get yourself a nicer flat.
26:59I can't afford a nicer flat.
27:02Oh.
27:02Well, there's obviously I haven't done a bit of homework.
27:10I lent him a book, but it's probably a waste of time.
27:13Hang on, all you did was talk about the American legal system.
27:15What all I did?
27:16Like I said, he didn't know anything.
27:18I'd have to say he was interested and all.
27:20How is it possible?
27:23What?
27:25Last week, you pointed out a page 98 of a 112-page contract
27:29that someone had used a colon instead of a semicolon.
27:32That is my job.
27:33Yeah, and you're very good at it.
27:35Your attention to detail is spot on.
27:37Nothing gets past you.
27:38But?
27:38But despite your observational skills,
27:40you still can't tell when you've been asked out on a date.
27:43A date?
27:44A date, yeah.
27:50Oh, there you are.
27:55So what did you do to encourage her?
27:58I swear I didn't say anything.
28:01Oh, don't give me that.
28:03You're telling me that she made that decision on her own,
28:06that enluthing from you?
28:08That's the last thing I'd do.
28:10What do you mean?
28:13Having her once in a while would be great.
28:15But permanently.
28:18Hang on.
28:20After all this,
28:22you don't even want her?
28:27There's nothing else for it.
28:29I'm going to have to come down with a mystery illness.
28:31What kind of illness?
28:33All I need to say is women's troubles
28:36and Darren will run a mile.
28:38It won't be that bad.
28:40Even if I like boring business dinners,
28:41which, you know, who does?
28:43I don't mind him.
28:44No, but even if I did,
28:45I don't get a choice.
28:47It's like sorting off the Jane Austen novel.
28:50I mean,
28:51I'll be there if that helps.
28:54No.
28:56That just makes it worse.
28:57Because I can't talk to you.
28:59Not properly.
29:02And I can't touch you.
29:04And kiss you.
29:07I won't go either, then.
29:09You need to go.
29:10Your dad's a little protégé.
29:12Well, then, let's go for it together.
29:14And afterwards,
29:15we can compare notes
29:16and my dad's table manners.
29:17I don't deserve you.
29:24Yes, you do.
29:26So, why have you been getting her hopes up?
29:29Well, it's not like I don't enjoy spending time with her.
29:31Oh, yeah.
29:32But you don't want to do it full-time?
29:33I don't think I could.
29:36Of course you couldn't.
29:37I wouldn't trust you with a goldfish.
29:40But that doesn't stop Eliza
29:41thinking you're God's gift of parenthood.
29:43I can't, but if she likes my company.
29:45Are you...
29:45You're supposed to be a father, not a friend.
29:48Tell me both.
29:48Oh, come on.
29:49Anyone can be a cool dad.
29:51There's no rules, no consequences.
29:54Of course she likes spending time with someone
29:56who treats every day like it's a summer holiday.
29:59But now she's got it in her head
30:00that every day is going to be like that.
30:02I'm not like you.
30:03I'm not cut out for handing out punishments.
30:05It's not punishments.
30:08It's...
30:08It's discipline.
30:10It's guidance.
30:11Kids need that.
30:12Well, I just can't do it.
30:12You're better at that kind of thing.
30:14Well, I know that.
30:15And you know that.
30:17But how do we get Eliza to see it?
30:19Maybe I could take a bit of a step back.
30:23Oh.
30:24You know.
30:26See her less and persuade her
30:28that you're a better choice.
30:31And you'd do that?
30:33If it's best for Eliza.
30:35Yeah.
30:36Yeah, it is.
30:37Because I am struggling a bit at the moment.
30:41What do you mean, struggling?
30:43I just got a bit of credit card debt, that's...
30:46Why?
30:47I'm not surprised at that.
30:49So, seeing as how I'm doing you a favour
30:50and letting Eliza stay with you,
30:52maybe you could do me one.
30:55Sorry, I...
30:56I'm not following.
30:59Well, you've got a lot of compensation money still.
31:02You know, ten grand should cover it.
31:04I can't believe this.
31:19You're trying to sell your own daughter.
31:21That's not what I said.
31:22That's horrible.
31:23How else would you put it?
31:25I give you cash and then you walk away.
31:26Yeah, you're twisting what I've said.
31:28End result's the same.
31:30You want money over your own flesh and blood.
31:32You're the one who wants rid of me.
31:34All I'm asking is for you to help Eliza's dad out.
31:38Do we have family like it or not?
31:39I'm not your family.
31:43So it's a no?
31:44Of course it's a no.
31:45I'm not paying you to be an absent father.
31:47You're doing that well enough for free.
31:49Well, in that case, I'll tell her she can't live with me.
31:52Oh, come on.
31:54We both know you're not cut out for it.
31:59Are you really that desperate for cash?
32:01I am in a bit of a hole, yeah, and this'll...
32:04Just help me get out of it.
32:08I won't do it.
32:09You won't do what?
32:11Hey, Eliza.
32:13Good to go?
32:15What is it you won't do?
32:19I won't let your dad take you home today.
32:23You want to take me home?
32:25Of course I do.
32:27So let me go.
32:29It's what we both want.
32:30Just accept it.
32:32Look, until the court says otherwise, you're staying with me.
32:35But...
32:35No arguments!
32:37Come on, let's go to the car.
32:41See you soon, love.
32:47You're not getting a penny.
32:49Oh, love.
32:55Look, I know it's hard, but we'll see each other really soon as well.
32:58I can't wait.
32:59I can't wait to see you.
33:01Me too.
33:02Yeah.
33:04Ring me any time you need, yeah?
33:06Oh, well.
33:08Okay, see you later.
33:09Bye.
33:10Love you.
33:11Bye.
33:11So, that's the verdict.
33:20You can stay.
33:22Oh, Tyrone.
33:23Oh, thank you so much.
33:26I won't let you down, honest.
33:28Well, you better not do.
33:30Because I've told Fizz that we can rely on you, so don't make me a liar.
33:32I won't.
33:34I, erm...
33:36I found this in an old coat pocket.
33:39Shall I buy us all the chippy tea?
33:40Yeah.
33:41I'm not going to get very foul of a tenner.
33:47Are you sure you can trust me with this?
33:50Four fish and chips should be fine.
33:51I can stay.
33:57Look, I'm sorry, love.
33:59I didn't get a chance to tell you are, Ruby, but...
34:02Are you okay with that?
34:04Yeah.
34:05Because, you know, if you're not,
34:07we can always sort something else out, yeah?
34:12If your family don't look after her, who will?
34:18Right, so what spirit animal is Kevin, then?
34:21Spirit animal?
34:23Yeah.
34:23So, every bloke's hair fits into 12 different types of categories, all right?
34:28And I've put those types of hair into, like, spirit animals.
34:32It's just easier to remember that way, okay?
34:35So, my hair is the puma.
34:38Max is the funky gibbon hair.
34:41Ken Barlow, he's a Lion King, obviously.
34:44So, what do we think Kevin's hair is?
34:47Okay, what about an angry badger?
34:49Bob-omb.
34:50A badger?
34:51I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.
34:53He just said he did make the rules.
34:55Yeah, I did, didn't I?
34:57All right.
34:58Ah, here's my favourite silverback now.
35:01Ah, I just thought Max might like to know
35:03that we've found a flat for Lauren.
35:05Oh, really?
35:06And she's got a job part-time in a call centre.
35:10We must go.
35:11Er, thank you, boy.
35:13You don't have to be embarrassed, you know.
35:27Eh?
35:28To ask me out.
35:30You don't have to get your dad to do it for you.
35:33What are you on about?
35:35I'm your date.
35:37Tomorrow, at the bistro.
35:39What?
35:40I don't need a date.
35:42Not according to your dad.
35:44Oh, so now he's organising my love life?
35:47Love life?
35:47Don't flatter yourself.
35:48And don't worry, I want that one about yours and Courtney's affair.
35:52Why don't you like her?
35:53I just think you deserve to be with somebody
35:55who actually cares about you.
35:57Like who?
35:59Oh, here they are, the happy couple.
36:03Please, no more matchmaking.
36:05What a grump.
36:06Who'd have it, eh?
36:16Hold on.
36:17What do you want for your tea?
36:21Can you not keep your temper under control for five minutes?
36:25I wasn't thinking straight.
36:26Don.
36:27Just offered to walk away.
36:29What?
36:30Really?
36:31In exchange for ten grand.
36:34He offered to sell it to you?
36:37I mean, who even does that?
36:39Bad fathers.
36:40That's who.
36:42Why didn't you tell Eliza?
36:44Come on.
36:45She doesn't need to know that her dad would sell her off for the right price.
36:49I mean, it'd break her heart.
36:50Yeah, of course.
36:51Yeah, you're right.
36:52Must have been tempting to stick the boot in.
36:55Oh, yeah.
36:56Yeah, very.
36:57You're not going to pay him, are you?
36:58I don't know.
37:01I mean, it would be cheaper twice the price to get rid of him.
37:06I just don't like getting down to his level.
37:10Be careful.
37:11Because if you do give him the money and he goes back on his word and tries to get custody,
37:16well, with Eliza on his side and ten grand in his back pocket, he'll win.
37:20So when you're going to let me cut your hair, then?
37:25Well, I'm never going to cut my hair.
37:26Why not?
37:27Because you open crisp bags from the bottom, you weirdo.
37:30Okay.
37:31Well, if I'm such a weirdo, then why do you like hanging out with me so much?
37:35Because you're an okay kisser.
37:36Just okay.
37:38Practice makes perfect.
37:40Hiya!
37:42Lauren.
37:44Max.
37:44Uh, Roy said you were getting a flight.
37:46Is that it?
37:47Yeah.
37:48Number four.
37:50Um, I'm in number three.
37:52Welcome to the neighbourhood, I suppose.
37:57Yeah.
37:58Right, I'm just going to get on.
38:01Laters.
38:04Well, this is going to be awkward.
38:06Yep.
38:08Are you sure?
38:10Like, sure, sure?
38:12I've asked enough girls out on my time to recognise the date when I see you.
38:15Then why even mention US law?
38:17It's called an inn.
38:18You find out one piece of information about a girl's life.
38:21A hobby, an interest, and then you start the conversation from there.
38:24You men, you idiots.
38:26I mean, why wouldn't you just say what you want?
38:28I've tried that.
38:28You get a fair few slaps in the face.
38:30Ah.
38:31Well, at least I know for the next book.
38:33I thought you'd like this one.
38:35Well, yeah, you know, he's fate, I suppose.
38:37Well, give his office a call and make another date.
38:39If he was still interested, he'd have left me his number, Adam.
38:42He probably thought you were giving him the brush-off with all your textbooks.
38:46Come on, he was keen enough to track you down.
38:49You should return the favour.
38:52Will it be covered in cobwebs?
38:54No, it is extremely clean.
38:56No.
38:59I don't mean real cobwebs.
39:01I mean pretend ones for gothic ambience.
39:04Nina's room, it's very tastefully decorated.
39:06Right, and does it have a lock on it?
39:09It has.
39:10Right.
39:11I'm telling you now, I shall be using it.
39:14As you wish, but I wouldn't enter without your permission.
39:18Well, not you, the other fella.
39:20Oh, you're referring to my sleepwalking.
39:23Well, yes.
39:25I mean, I don't want him banging on me door, do I?
39:28Asking for who knows what.
39:30I only sleepwalk when I'm stressed.
39:33Now you're stressed now?
39:34Well, that wasn't until a few moments ago.
39:37Well, it'll be nicer for this one not being pushed about from pillar to post, wouldn't it?
39:41Wouldn't it, little man, eh?
39:43Yes.
39:43Well, yes, it will be nice for Freddie to have only one residence.
39:48There you go, lad.
39:49You know your way.
39:51So, you've done very well, really.
39:53Solving our riddle.
39:55Well, I'm pleased that we've managed to come to a compromise that satisfies all parties.
40:01But I've no idea why you've fallen over yourself to help that girl.
40:05Lauren?
40:05Yeah?
40:07Well, for the same reason that Tyrone is helping Cassie, that I've been carrying your bags.
40:13Because when someone is in need of assistance, one doesn't stand idly by.
40:22Eliza?
40:24Eliza?
40:25Oh.
40:28Oh.
40:29You're all right?
40:30Yeah, I'm just hungry.
40:32I thought you might be.
40:34Well, I've put your tea in the tub in the fridge.
40:37Do you want me to eat it up for you?
40:38No, I can do it.
40:40Well, listen, about earlier.
40:43I'm sorry.
40:45I'm trying my best.
40:46But I know I don't always get it right.
40:48It's OK.
40:51Well, we'll talk more in the morning, yeah?
40:53Um, I've got choir practice first thing, so I might be gone when you wake up.
40:58Oh.
40:58Well, do you want me to give you a lift?
41:00No, I'll get the bus.
41:02OK.
41:03Well, listen, I don't want you stopping up too late, all right?
41:07Well, goodnight.
41:09Night.
41:09Night.
41:09Night.
41:18Night.
