00:00I thought you were taking today on
00:29Well, I'm not due at the registry after four
00:32Well, don't sound too excited
00:34You are excited, aren't you?
00:38Yeah, excited
00:38Good
00:39Cos we are officially tying the knot
00:42And you're definitely on a promise tonight
00:44And I'm not getting sued now
00:46Called me old-fashioned
00:48But I'd say that's definitely a cause of celebration
00:50Yeah
00:53Yeah, for you maybe, but not for us, you're right?
00:58What do you mean?
00:58Well, she dropped the complaint against a woman
01:00That's why you're not being sued
01:01Well, why didn't you say?
01:05Didn't want to spoil your day
01:06No, it's our day, Dave
01:07You know, and I reckon that boat has pretty much sailed
01:12Morning
01:22She's bound to go, please
01:24Anything else?
01:25No, I'm good to talk
01:26Oh, you don't look good
01:28Oh, no, you look like death-formed
01:29No offence
01:30No, I'm taken
01:31Oh, thanks for this demon child inside of me
01:34I've been up half the night talking into the postalling telephone
01:37And I still look better than you
01:38All I'm saying is self-care and all that
01:41Thanks, babe
01:43All right, mate
01:44Not really, Gary
01:46Sharon's just told me that I resemble one of the walking dead
01:48Oh, I'm sorry
01:49No, it's just
01:50Look, sleep deprivation just does this to my filter system
01:53What do you mean?
01:54You've got one, have you?
01:54Oh, whatever
01:55Honestly, you should hear some of the stuff our David has to put up with
01:58All I'm saying is do not ask me about fashion advice when I'm like this
02:01I'll bear that in mind
02:02Gary, it's been...
02:07Yeah, man
02:07I've heard from Theo, have you?
02:09No way
02:10We had a bit of a ding-dong last night and he didn't come home
02:14His mobile's been going to voicemail all morning
02:17I just want to know he's okay
02:19Do you want me to bell him for you?
02:21You know, maybe he's screening your calls
02:23No, I don't want him to think I've got you spying on him
02:27Sure?
02:28Yeah, I'm sure I'm worrying about nothing
02:31All right
02:32Good morning
02:37Ah, and what a beautiful morning it is
02:40In fact, it's nearly as beautiful as you are
02:42Wow, you still love it today, aren't you?
02:46Can you blame me?
02:47Well, it's got two thumbs and is officially off desk duty
02:50Oh, my goodness
02:51Oh, that's brilliant news
02:53Oh, I'm really pleased
02:54I'm absolutely buzzing
02:56I mean, talk about pent-up energy
02:58I'm very envious
02:59Honestly, if it's mind-numbing, Carla's got me doing it, so
03:02Why, are you still in the doghouse of that numpty, like?
03:05No, no, she's just in a really grumpy mood at the moment
03:09I don't know why
03:10Ah, I'm sure it'll pass
03:12Ah, sorry, yeah, got a crack on
03:19What are you doing?
03:25I'm, er, messaging Carla Cobb on
03:27Telling her I've got a doctor's appointment
03:29And I might be a tad late
03:31I didn't know you'd seen a doctor
03:33I'm not
03:34I just thought maybe I could do something about that pent-up energy
03:37Doctor's appointment, my foot
03:44Sarah is trying it on
03:45I tell you
03:46She must think I fell off the back of the turning truck
03:49Just to let you know
03:52I've invited Mum over
03:53She should be here around lunchtime-ish
03:54Is that OK?
03:57Fine by me, yeah
03:59Maybe give us a bit more of a heads-up next time, yeah?
04:03It's a spare-of-the-moment thing
04:04If it's a problem, I can tell her she's not welcome
04:06Did we say that?
04:15Sorry, I know this is hard on you
04:17But it's good for Betsy
04:19Yeah, but you're not one and the same
04:21You can be honest
04:23It's just a bit much to wrap my head around that song
04:28Yeah
04:31Join the club
04:33But we will get through this
04:36Because that's how you and me roll
04:39Come here
04:43It's you
04:45Come here
04:46I'm, er...
04:56I'm just looking at this paperwork for Mr Root
04:58According to this, he's, er...
05:0132, not 82
05:03He didn't die of natural causes
05:06And he's got black hair, not no hair
05:10Look, I know this row with Theo's got you into a bit of a tizz, but...
05:15I'll redo it straight away
05:17I'm sorry, George
05:17It's all right
05:18Hey, er...
05:21He's still on Radio Silent
05:23Do you know, he's probably just had a skinful
05:27He'll be sleeping it off somewhere
05:29Yeah, well, it's the somewhere that worries me
05:31What if he's with another bloke?
05:34What, you think he might be playing away?
05:36I don't know
05:37Look
05:39Tell me to cook me own fish
05:42But maybe
05:44Just maybe
05:46You're what the young folks are calling
05:49Catastrophising
05:50Eh?
05:56You're probably right
05:57Thanks, George
05:58You're welcome
06:00Well, I'm all for the occasional carpe diem moment
06:21But for Jenny to just up sticks without even giving notice
06:25Yeah, well, if you ask me
06:26She's no great loss
06:28Yes
06:28Well, that's as may be
06:29I mean, I'm already short-handed
06:31I mean, there's only so many hours in the day
06:33I don't suppose you'd be interested in a little part-time
06:36Let me stop you there, love
06:38Having Jenny's romantic leftovers is one thing
06:41But her old job as well
06:42In the words of Hall and Oates
06:44No can do
06:45I understand
06:46And does that mean you and George are now a thing?
06:48Oh, well
06:49That's for me to know and him to find out, isn't it?
06:52Cheerio, bye
06:53May your birthday be more beautiful than a unicorn farting rainbows?
07:01That's how civilisations end
07:03We have to cater for all sorts
07:05Well, compared to the card that Trace got me last year
07:07That's practically check
07:08I didn't know you could rhyme that many swear words
07:10Oh, I'm a strassbar
07:12Are you all right, Jake?
07:13What are you doing in here?
07:14Er, let me guess
07:15You'd like to apply for the, er, paper person's vacancy?
07:19Er, no
07:20It's never too early to jump on the old employment ladder
07:24Thanks, but I've already got myself a few side of sorts
07:27Oh, then, er, more power to you
07:29Now, how may I be of assistance?
07:32Some guy found his phone and told me to end it
07:35Oh, I see
07:36Said he was in a rush and I had that on his face
07:40Most commendable of you both
07:43I shall endeavour to, er, make sure this gets back to its rightful owner
07:47Hey, you'd better get a move on
07:48Yes, sir
07:49Are you sure you don't want to apply for the job?
07:51I pay a £7.55 an hour
07:53Nah, don't do a morning's
07:55Oh
07:55Yep, the MOs are very similar
08:05Okay, mate
08:05Let me check my notes and I'll get back to you
08:08Cheers, mate, you're a star
08:09Constable Haywood
08:12You are a ray of sunshine
08:13Right, who are you and what have you done with DC Green?
08:16Hey, I'm just trying to share the love
08:17Okay, now you're really scaring me
08:20Brownie
08:20Life-changing
08:22Er, maybe later, listen, I need you to come with me
08:25What for?
08:26Well, before answer
08:27I want to go and rock off that hate being the one to kill this whole new vibe
08:30There's nothing you can do or say
08:32That can possibly ruin my mood
08:34Mmm, I won't bet on it
08:37I've all done the interview, but you might have a chat
08:42Car theft
08:50Hiya
08:51Like I told Constable Haywood, I didn't steal the car
09:11Well, your boss apparently says otherwise
09:12Yeah, cos she's a vindictive cow
09:14Who also owns a vehicle in question
09:16And in the past she's always let me borrow it
09:17I swear, I've even got insurance
09:19Checks out
09:20Having insurance isn't the same thing as having permission, Bethany
09:23When I drove from London
09:25I genuinely didn't even think that Miss Stokes would notice
09:28She's got, like, five cars
09:29And all the time she's had me playing chauffeur
09:32After one of the liquid strategy meetings
09:34I just...
09:34Right, let's just say for a moment
09:36Constable Haywood over here
09:37Because you'd benefit the doubt
09:38What were you planning on doing with the car
09:40After you got to Weatherfield?
09:41Oh, she'd arranged for a mate to take it back
09:43A Lexi Dawson
09:44We used to work together at the magazine
09:47You can call her, she will tell you everything
09:49Right, just hang on
09:50You used to work together
09:51Er...
09:54Yeah, kind of quit last week
09:56Probably should have led with that
09:57Why did you quit?
09:59Is that really important?
10:00You tell us
10:00Look, I am not some crazed ex-employee with a grudge
10:05If that's what you're both thinking
10:06No, but you're an ex-employee
10:07Who drove your ex-boss's car
10:08Halfway across England
10:09Without permission
10:10So why did you quit?
10:14It was either that or get fired
10:17I'd been up for, like, 36 hours
10:20Working on background for a piece
10:22I got brain fog
10:24And I accidentally sent the wrong email
10:26To the wrong person
10:26So, basically, I outed a confidential source
10:30Right
10:31Well, that explains why she's miffed
10:34I might be a total screw-up
10:37But I'm not a thief
10:38What do you think he's going to do?
10:43I imagine
10:44Get your backside out of the fire
10:45Right
10:46This, mate
10:48What's her number?
10:51Let's just talk
10:52Forget who's right or wrong
10:54We're stronger than that
10:57Anyway, I'm...
10:59I'm here
11:00Waiting
11:01I love you
11:04You OK?
11:12Yeah, just, um...
11:14Talking to a grieving widow
11:15It can get...
11:17Real
11:18I'm sure
11:20It's literally an occupational hazard
11:24Exactly
11:24Anyway, what can I do for you?
11:27Well, I was hoping you could, uh...
11:30Shed some light on this, uh...
11:32Young Jake
11:33Handed it in
11:34And I noticed there's a picture of you
11:36And Theo
11:37And it's not yours, I assume
11:39No, it's Theo's...
11:41I've got a dead body in this thing
11:47Ha-ha
11:48Listen, thank you
11:51No worries
11:52No, I'm in for everything
11:53I owe you big time
11:54Well, thank Jess, not me
11:56She hadn't played ball
11:57A very different result
11:58Bethany
12:01Hey
12:01Not a word to your mum
12:03She's had enough stress recently
12:04I didn't tell me you were coming
12:05Oh, well, I thought I'd surprise you
12:07Oh, well
12:07Yeah, seeing this one at the station
12:08Thought I'd pick her up
12:09He's the best
12:10Well, yes, he has his moments
12:12Look, I am sorry that I've just rocked up like this
12:16But I didn't have a key for the flat
12:17Oh, don't be daft
12:18It's fine
12:18I was going to work through lunch
12:19But I think this deserves a little bit of a celebration
12:21Sorry you're not invited
12:22Ah, I'll live with the disappointment, eh?
12:25I'll speak later
12:25Right
12:27Oh, wow
12:28OK, I see you're still travelling light then
12:30Right, Carla's going to join us
12:46She's just on a call
12:47Look, I'm not sure this is a good idea, you know
12:49What happened to us keeping a little profiler?
12:51I'm fine
12:52Hey
12:53Hi
12:55This is Kit
12:57Er, hey, I'm, er...
12:59Lisa's sister, right?
13:01Pleased to meet you
13:02Yeah
13:03Er, thanks for, erm...
13:05I think the word you're looking for is colluding
13:07So what's the plan?
13:10Going out for lunch
13:11I mean the plan going forward
13:12The family angle won't stand up to much scrutiny
13:15We'll think of something
13:16Yeah, there's a lot of brain power between the pair of us
13:19Well, you're going to need it
13:20Anyway, I'll be on my way
13:23That went better than I expected
13:28Wow
13:37Honey, you look amazing
13:40Look, never mind that
13:41OK, what's going on with you and Bernie?
13:43OK, nothing
13:44Why, what, she said something?
13:45Well, nothing
13:46OK, and that's why I'm worried
13:47She's never that quiet
13:48OK, just back up a bit
13:49Say cheese
13:51Wow
13:53Look, Dad
13:56Is this about Naomi?
14:00Talk to me
14:01Yes
14:02Yeah
14:03Right, what that woman did for her to get off scot-free, yeah
14:06Look, getting a conviction would have been a nightmare
14:08Yeah, but Bernie's actually still forced your hand
14:09OK, it was my decision
14:10And mine alone
14:12Yeah, but she shouldn't have got involved
14:13Er, you loved that she stuck up for me initially
14:15Yeah, before I knew the consequences
14:17What, so I should just let her get sued?
14:19No, of course not
14:20Right then
14:21You know, and even if by some miracle
14:23Naomi did get punished
14:25It doesn't change what happened to me
14:28Dad
14:29No, OK, but I can still see the effect this had on you, can't I?
14:32And not to mention your job
14:33Well, you don't need to worry about that anymore
14:36OK, because I've got a shift tonight
14:38But for real this time
14:40But why? I thought you were done with it
14:42The universe hates a quitter
14:44Honey, you don't have to prove anything to me
14:47I know
14:48OK, nothing
14:48Ever
14:49Because I just want you to be happy
14:52I know, and I want you to be happy
14:54Now, so as one of your witnesses
14:56OK, I'm ordering you to get your bum into gear
14:59Come on
15:01What?
15:04You
15:04And what would I do without you?
15:10Come on
15:11No, Dad, don't
15:11No, Dad
15:12Just once, darling
15:13Just once
15:14Are we ready?
15:20Wow
15:21You know, if it's freaking you out
15:24We can go somewhere else
15:25No
15:26No, it's fine
15:27Just a lot of memories
15:28Oh well
15:30At least Daisy's gone
15:31And things for you were on the up
15:32So
15:32Yeah
15:33I can't get over Shona being preggers
15:36Nah, maybe just one of those couples that love the drama
15:39You can't build a relationship on drama
15:42That's just asking for trouble
15:43Well, whatever the case
15:44Todd's clearly taken with the lad
15:46I just hope Theo feels the same
15:49Listen to you here, metrosexual sensitivity
15:52You're right, all softer
15:54Give over
15:55Seriously, though
15:56They'll either work it out or they won't
15:59You can't fix this, Chuck
16:00At best
16:02All you can do is be there to pick up the pieces
16:04No, I know
16:05You know, as I think of my love life was complicated
16:08Yeah, well, it's just got a whole lot more simple with Jenna gone
16:11All you need to do now is keep back Christina at arm's length
16:15What if I don't want to keep her at arm's length?
16:18What if I want to keep my arms firmly wrapped around her?
16:21Well, then you need your head examining
16:22Hey, I
16:23Hey, I can think of ten good reasons why that woman is completely wrong for you
16:27I'll pass to her very much
16:29See you later
16:30Hey, I'm not done with you
16:31Shut your mouth
16:32Hiya
16:34I can't make up my mind
16:36Well, they both look gorgeous, on you
16:38Well, help us pick one
16:40No
16:41Remember the self-empowerment podcast?
16:44Be your own captain
16:45Gemma, come on
16:47No, you know the routine
16:49Close your eyes
16:50Picture your happy place
16:53It's on there
16:54Yeah, are you looking up at the stars in the sky?
16:58Hmm, I'll go for the blue
17:00Thanks, Gem
17:01See? No drama
17:06That's what relationships are built on
17:08David and Shona are happy about it
17:10Yeah, yeah, they are
17:11They're really made up
17:13It's actually really cute
17:14Which is something that I thought I'd never say about them two
17:17Anyway, enough about them
17:19How is the hardest working woman in journalism doing?
17:24Currently unemployed
17:25Yeah, I quit my job last week
17:27It was either that or get the push
17:28But the last time we spoke
17:30You called yourself, and I quote, a slay queen
17:33I mean, admittedly, it was a while ago
17:35Yeah, I think I may have over-exaggerated the level of queen
17:38And most definitely the slayage
17:40Ooh, well, what happened?
17:42Can we talk about it later?
17:43I just need to depressurise
17:45Yeah, of course
17:46Well, at least tell me how long you're visiting for
17:49Erm, well, this isn't really a visit
17:52I'm kind of back for good
17:53But don't worry
17:55I will pay my way as soon as I get a job
17:57Right, so
17:59Living arrangements
18:00Well, I thought I'd be staying with you
18:03Yeah, no, of course, that's a given
18:06But I'm thinking long-term, you'll be wanting your own place
18:09Yeah, obviously
18:10Well, here is to a fresh start
18:14Fresh start
18:15That looks amazing
18:20But don't get any ideas
18:21Well, you're all set, enjoy
18:23Thank you
18:24Bye
18:24What, Jared is caring?
18:27Are you sure that's what you want?
18:29Oh, yeah
18:30I'm not really hungry, actually
18:31Right, in that case, Carla's plate is off-limits
18:33Hmm
18:34We always share our food
18:35Well, sharing is pushing it
18:36It's basically the Hunger Games
18:38Er, yeah, well
18:40Actually, considering my plate off-limits as well
18:42But we always share
18:44That's, like, nothing
18:45Always has been
18:46Yeah, well, what can I say?
18:50This is my new thing
18:51So how long has he been missing for?
18:57Since 7pm yesterday
18:59Look, I know it's not strictly 24 hours
19:01No, no, that's a misconception
19:02Someone's welfare's at risk
19:04And the sooner we know, the sooner we can help
19:06Well, I wouldn't be so worried
19:07But, um, there's a mobile that got handed in at the cabin earlier
19:11Have you tried unlocking it?
19:13I don't know the code
19:13Has he tried calling his phone?
19:15Well, some do not disturb, so I can't tell
19:17Okay
19:18Well, how did he see him last time you saw him?
19:21Upset
19:21He'd have an argument
19:23What about?
19:24Is that important?
19:25Well, it might be
19:26We've been out
19:29He thought that I'd been flirting with this other bloke
19:31Which I hadn't, by the way
19:32But he didn't believe me
19:34Did the argument escalate?
19:36Escalate?
19:37Did it get physical?
19:39No
19:39We just exchanged words, then he left
19:41At any point, did Theo threaten to harm himself?
19:45No
19:46Nothing like that
19:47And did he say where he was going?
19:51About clubbing
19:52Anything else?
19:54Not to wait up
19:55Okay, well, we'll need some more details
19:59Like Theo's full name
20:00Do you know what?
20:01Forget it
20:01I know you think I'm overreacting
20:03No, if you're worried about him, then
20:05Honestly, please, forget it, alright?
20:07I'm being stupid
20:07I'm sorry for wasting your time
20:09No, you know
20:10That was lush
20:13No one says lush round table
20:16Sorry, Auntie Kim
20:19Yeah, don't worry
20:20No harm done
20:20How was it?
20:23Yeah, it was really good, thank you
20:24Lush
20:25Oh, thank you
20:26Can I get you any desserts?
20:28Not for me
20:29I could share one
20:30Betsy?
20:31Please, Auntie
20:32Do you know, I'd never guess that you two were sisters
20:35Yeah, we get that a lot
20:36Right, I'll fetch that menu
20:37I'm beginning to think we should have said I'm an old mate from school
20:42Or girlfriend
20:43No, the sister story's just fine
20:45Let's not start second-guessing ourselves
20:48Yeah
20:49I mean, it's not like you and Auntie Kim here haven't thought this through, is it?
20:56Maybe we should skip desserts
20:57So, what exactly is the plan?
21:02Keep your voice down
21:03Yeah
21:04Trust me, it's in hand
21:05Oh, really?
21:07Weirdly, I don't feel very reassured
21:09Hey, come on, we're working on it
21:10Are we?
21:11Yeah, so, relax
21:12Becky
21:13It's hard to feel relaxed when you're being hunted by some gang
21:18You know what?
21:22You were right, this wasn't a good idea
21:24So, why did you orchestrate it then?
21:26I don't know what you're talking about
21:29Lisa, I just wanted a bit of normality
21:32Oh, please
21:33We both know what you want
21:35And it isn't normality
21:37Okay
21:40This is not the time for this
21:55And it certainly isn't the place
21:56If I've done something to offend you
21:57I know exactly what you've done to affirm it
21:59Sorry, here's that menu
22:02Thank you
22:03Thank you
22:04Is everything all right here?
22:06Yeah
22:06I just had a misunderstanding
22:09Toya, could you give us a few more minutes, please?
22:12Yeah, sure
22:13Yeah, just shout when you're ready
22:14I should go
22:20At least not go
22:22Because she only wanted some normality
22:24No, Betsy, none of this is normal, darling
22:27None of it
22:28Okay, and you and you
22:30Are totally deluded if you think otherwise
22:32So I'll go
22:35That's what you wanted, innit?
22:36I'm surprised you didn't arrest me
22:44For wasting police time
22:45I mean, missing persons
22:47Missing a screw more like
22:49That's not a crime to care
22:50I suppose
22:52In my defence
22:54I do think it's
22:55Weird that Theo's lost his phone
22:57Yeah, well, I expect he's searching
22:59Iron Lowe for it now as we speak
23:00Still doesn't explain why he didn't come home
23:03Yeah, maybe that'll be a blessing
23:04What do you mean?
23:08Well, look at the state you're in
23:10Look, we just had a row
23:12I worry about you, Todd
23:13Well, don't
23:14Sorry, George
23:17Look, I appreciate your concern
23:19But Theo's the best thing that ever happened to me
23:22Afternoon
23:24I've got work to do, are you?
23:28Am I interrupting something?
23:30No
23:30No
23:30No, come in, you're fine
23:31Don't worry
23:32Is it still fratting over there?
23:35Yeah
23:36And I might have just overdone it with the tough love
23:39Funny, she'd mention tough love
23:40I've made your list
23:43As promised
23:45Of all Christina's pros and cons
23:49Number one
23:52Oh, do you know what?
23:53I love a good pros and cons list, me
23:56This
23:56Gotta read
23:58Thank you
23:59So you're excited about it then?
24:04Yeah, yeah
24:05Absolutely buzzing
24:07You know, when I'm not chocking up
24:08That is
24:08Speaking of which
24:12Could you just cover me for a second, please?
24:14Please
24:15Bethany?
24:23Are you back?
24:24I am indeed
24:25Are you working here?
24:29Shona's in the loo
24:30Okay
24:32So what's this then?
24:34Just apply and visit, or?
24:37Not sure yet
24:38How can I help you?
24:42What would you like?
24:43Oh, um
24:45Er, latte
24:48Please
24:48Anything else?
24:51Yeah
24:51Proper ketchup
24:53Be nice
24:54At some point
24:54Shoot the breeze
24:56For old time's sake
24:57Yeah, if you like
24:58And if I don't like?
25:01Then I'll just say
25:02It's great to see you
25:03Wish I could say the same
25:05False alarm
25:08Is everything okay?
25:11Yeah
25:11Great
25:12Tell you what
25:13Forget that coffee
25:14Take care of yourself
25:16Daniel
25:19Bistro
25:22Six o'clock
25:23I'll be there
25:25Well, that were awkward
25:30I was going to bump into him sooner or later
25:33Are you sure you want to sit down with him
25:34After everything he put you through?
25:35I am all about fresh starts
25:37Anyway, enough about him
25:39Are you and David any closer on baby names?
25:41Because if it's a girl
25:42I was thinking either Gail or Audrey
25:44Oh
25:45Number two
25:50Talks at you
25:52Not to you
25:53No, that's
25:54That's a fair point
25:55I
25:55I'm working on that
25:57So
25:57Number three
25:59Could start an argument
26:01In an empty room
26:02Yes, also fair point
26:04I have
26:04Never been known to have the occasional eruptive opinion
26:07Number four
26:09Work shy
26:11When was the last time you did an hard day's graft?
26:14Since a couple of days ago
26:16When I cleaned this place
26:17Dropped her bottom
26:17Yes, she went like a Trojan
26:19It won't swallow, don't make her summer
26:20Look, ladies
26:21This is getting us nowhere
26:23Number five
26:24Would eat herself if chocolate
26:27Well, you are full of it sometimes
26:28Oh, yes
26:29And your modesty and self-deprecation
26:31Personified, aren't you, lad?
26:32Right
26:32That is enough
26:33Give that to me
26:34This
26:35It's unhelpful
26:37But it's all true
26:38And that, well, the main thing
26:40Glenda
26:41Love you better than this
26:43Is she?
26:44Hey
26:45I said she had nice hair
26:46If real
26:49May I remind you
26:51That I am highly skilled
26:53In shotokan karate
26:54And jiu-jitsu
26:56Yeah
26:56And I am skilled
26:58In jog
26:59And on
27:00You might want to go and get
27:01First aid kit ready, George
27:02Yeah, you might want to get the morgue ready and all
27:04I've got Mrs. Rue coming in, remember?
27:06Yeah
27:06I'll be with you in just a minute
27:07Right, you two, listen to me
27:09Listen
27:09I have got a grieving widow to console
27:13If you two want to knock seven bells out of each other
27:15Get outside and do it
27:17Yeah, I suppose I can wait
27:20Well, I should be getting back to the pub anyway
27:22See ya
27:24See ya
27:25Sorry for just dropping by
27:45It's no problem
27:46Does, er, Lisa know you're here?
27:48No
27:48No, if anybody asks
27:49Just say I'm picking your brain about some present or something
27:52Okay
27:53So I assume this is about a certain dead wife arising from the grave
27:57That's acting just like she bobbed out for a pint of milk, yeah?
28:00Or maybe Sister Kim wants her life back
28:02Oh, I know she does
28:03And Betsy
28:04And Lisa
28:05Look, it's not just me being paranoid and jealous, all right?
28:08She's not even that subtle
28:09Lisa's no mug
28:10She's already bought into the whole hero Becky story
28:15You're not a believer
28:16Oh, come on
28:17It's just too neat and tidy
28:19Plus, why would she put a...
28:21Why would she put her family at risk?
28:24This gang might still be after her
28:26Plus, we've only got Becky's and your boss's word if that's true
28:30Right
28:31Which finally brings us to the real reason why you're here
28:34You can access stuff I can't
28:37Carla, I've also got a career of love
28:39But you might be onto something
28:43Do you know more?
28:44No, but there's a D.I. Crowley who might
28:47Who also work with Costello and Becky
28:49Oh, Maggie, our registrar, she's amazing
28:57She's got a fabulous aura
28:59She's into her crystals as well
29:01Is she a friend then?
29:03Erm, not exactly
29:04No, she interviewed her
29:06She stopped her
29:07What, it's a sacred thing that she's doing?
29:10Right, so top up anyone
29:11Well, go on then
29:12Go on, you twisted me arm
29:14Er, not for me
29:15I'm working tonight, remember?
29:16Well, you can have a few bubbles, surely
29:18No, I'm good
29:19I don't mean to pry
29:21Yeah, she does
29:21But earlier, Gemma mentioned your happy place
29:26And I'm just, just curious
29:28You know, I'm into mindfulness
29:30And it seems to work wonders for you, so
29:32Yeah, go on
29:34Sure, Chesney
29:34Well, I'm lying on a golden sandy beach next to Gem
29:39Looking up at the clear blue sky
29:40Just listening to the waves crashing in on the shore
29:43That's so beautiful, almost transcendental
29:46Yeah, and he's got an ice-cold beer in his hand
29:49No kids to be seen
29:51And I've got all my cater
29:53Woo-hoo!
29:54Absolutely, mint
29:55OK, that's too much information
29:56You all right, doll?
29:59Yeah
29:59Why so pensive?
30:02I'm just tired
30:02That's because being incredible is exhausting, as I well know
30:07No, joking aside, today won't happen without you
30:11Don't be silly
30:12No, she's right
30:13She's right
30:14Listen, honestly, you make me see sense, OK?
30:15Which, let's be honest, isn't the easiest task in the world, right?
30:18No
30:18Yeah, I think we are embarrassing her
30:22Come here, favourite stepdaughter
30:24Evening
30:30How are we doing?
30:34Great
30:34Firing an all-cylinders boss
30:37That's what I like to hear
30:38Must feel good to be back in the game
30:42Yeah, I didn't know how much I missed it
30:44Well, believe me
30:45You were also missed
30:47Riding a desk is no place for someone like you
30:50Oh, I saw Lisa's partner in here earlier
30:56You know, erm
30:57What's her name?
31:00Carla, sir
31:00Carla Connor
31:02Everything OK?
31:05Yeah, she just wanted my input and a present for D.S. Swain
31:09What did you suggest?
31:14I said I'd think about it
31:16I see
31:17So it had nothing to do with D.I. Crawley
31:20I only ask
31:22Because you tried ringing him straight after she left
31:25Please
31:27Don't deny it
31:29It insults both of us
31:31How did you find out?
31:35Because he told me
31:36Look, sir, I can explain
31:39I hope so
31:40For your sake
31:42So she's told you everything?
31:59Well, I wouldn't go that far
32:01Erm
32:02I just know that Becky
32:04Kim
32:04Whatever we're calling her
32:06Wasn't killed in the line
32:08And now she's made contact with Lisa
32:10And that's a problem for Carla?
32:12Well, it'd be a problem for anyone, sir
32:14Including you?
32:18It's a bit of a turn-up
32:19The understatement of the century
32:21So that's why I contacted D.I. Crawley
32:24I just wanted to verify the story, that's all
32:27You could have asked me directly
32:29I didn't want to get Lisa in trouble
32:32Look, sir, if I overstepped
32:37Relax
32:37I'd have done the same thing in your shoes
32:40And I want you to know
32:42I hated keeping you in the dark
32:45You were just trying to protect Lisa and her family
32:50True
32:52But I'm glad you know now
32:54Does this mean you're going to bench me again, sir?
33:00Bench you?
33:02No
33:02Quite the opposite
33:04You're ready for a promotion
33:07And I can help make that happen
33:09I wouldn't want preferential treatment, sir
33:14You mean like you gave your girlfriend's daughter earlier?
33:21How did you make her ex-boss drop the complaint?
33:24It appealed to a better nature
33:27Using just the right amount of pressure
33:30Am I right?
33:35Thought so
33:36Think about what I said
33:41You've got it in you to make a great detective, okay?
33:45Do you think sticky toffee pudding was a good choice?
33:55Hmm, yeah
33:55I'm interested
33:57Hey
33:59I was wondering where you got to
34:01You left your coat at the bistro
34:02Oh
34:03Yeah, I just need to clear my head, you know
34:06Sorry about earlier
34:09It's okay, how you doing it is kind of freaky
34:12Yeah
34:13For all of us
34:15We've got your pudding
34:16It's in the fridge
34:17Thank you
34:18So, uh
34:29Today was a town strange
34:32Try twilight zone
34:35Do you want to talk about it?
34:40Yes, please
34:40Hey
34:42Hey
34:45Got you a glass of your favourite
34:47Thanks for agreeing to see me
34:52So, how are you?
34:53Let me just stop you right there
34:54The answer is a big fact
34:57No
34:58Answer to what?
34:59Actually, let me rephrase that
35:00I don't care how sad, lonely or heartbroken you are
35:04I wouldn't go near you again if you were the last man on earth
35:07In fact, I would rather turn celibate
35:09And live in a monastery in the North Pole
35:11I think there might be some sort of confusion
35:13Oh, there's been no confusion
35:15And the fact that you would even entertain the idea
35:17After what you and Daisy did
35:19You need your head checking
35:20Okay
35:23Is that all you've got to say?
35:27That and
35:28I couldn't agree with you more
35:30We're not good for each other, Bethany
35:33I doubt that we ever were
35:35And okay
35:37I might be a bit
35:38Lonely
35:40And heartbroken
35:41But I'm also a lot wiser now
35:43So as for me and you getting back together
35:44Never mind getting my head checked
35:46I'll be asking for a full lobotomy
35:47I don't have an agenda
35:50No expectations
35:52I don't want anything
35:54Other than to say
35:58I'm really sorry
36:02Okay
36:05And I am really sorry too
36:08I might have misjudged that situation slightly
36:11Can we rewind, please?
36:14I think we should
36:15So
36:18How are you?
36:24I mean
36:25If I'm honest
36:27I didn't actually know your sister disliked me that much
36:30No, she just ran
36:31Not deep down
36:33She's just worried about me getting hurt again
36:35Why would you get hurt?
36:39Because she knows that I'm absolutely crackers about you
36:42Really?
36:45Yeah
36:45I think you should let me take you out
36:48Oh, do you now?
36:49Yeah, absolutely
36:50Want to know why?
36:53I'm all ears, kid
36:54Todd's fella didn't come home last night
36:58Been like a basket case all day
37:01Yeah, he did mention that, yeah
37:03Yeah
37:03Lad's in love
37:05He feels like his whole world's falling apart
37:08I'm kind of hoping there's a point to this slightly depressing story
37:13Yes, yes, no, there is a point
37:14The point is
37:16Despite what Todd's going through
37:19He hasn't put me off
37:21Put you off?
37:24Starting a new relationship
37:25I suppose what I'm trying to say is
37:27I'm ready to get back on the horse
37:30Oh, well, do you know what?
37:32As much as I appreciate your candour
37:34It was only yesterday that that particular horse was called, um, Ginny
37:39Oh, come on
37:40I told you that was a mistake
37:42And now I've seen the light
37:44Just you hold your horses, cowboy
37:48You're going to have to do a lot of heavy duty wooing
37:52To win over this little filly
37:54Are you up for that, love?
37:56Yes, siree, ma'am
37:59Yeah
38:00Getting on
38:03It just felt like Becky was trying to sideline me
38:07Yeah
38:09Yeah, she was definitely trying to push her buttons, that's for sure
38:13And you know what makes it worse?
38:16Is that I'm alienating Roy to keep her secret
38:21And that breaks my heart
38:23Could have handled it better
38:26I don't know, Carla
38:29All things considered, I think you were pretty restrained
38:31Yeah
38:32You don't think you were being sidelined by me, do you?
38:38No
38:39No
38:41You were great
38:44I knew what was frustrating
38:47Is that you know I actually do like sharing
38:50But not me, right?
38:54No
38:55Not a chance
38:57I'm joking
38:58No, it's just that we were our own little team before, weren't we?
39:04Hey, we still are
39:05You know, right now, I need you on my side more than ever
39:09No, I'm not going anywhere
39:12I sense a book coming
39:15Yes, but
39:16I have to stand by what I said
39:21You and her
39:23Need to come up with a better plan than this
39:25I promise to come up with one
39:30Thank you
39:34I'm not going up with a better plan than this
40:04I'll keep this short and sweet for you.
40:23Come home.
40:25Let's just talk.
40:26Forget who's right or wrong.
40:30We're stronger than that.
40:32Anyway, yeah.
40:34I'm here, waiting.
40:37I love you.
40:50So, how'd it go today?
40:52Yeah.
40:53Yeah, it was really lovely.
40:55Everything okay with you and your dad?
40:57Better than ever.
40:58Really?
41:00Yeah, no.
41:00But I'm glad you told them the truth.
41:03You're not just saying that.
41:04No, but it was the kick up the backside that I needed.
41:07I'm just happy that I've got my partner back.
41:10Hi, Sienna.
41:11Do you mind if I have a word for a sec?
41:12Sorry, one sec.
41:13I'll keep it.
41:14I'll keep it.
41:30Hiya.
41:31Yo.
41:32Handed in that phone.
41:33Right, you told me.
41:34Yeah, I know, yeah.
41:35Good work, lad.
41:36And I didn't say anything about you.
41:38Oh, good.
41:39No, I could trust you.
41:40So, what are you paying me for?
41:41Well, it was money well spent.
41:43So?
41:43Did your boyfriend find it funny?
41:45Yeah.
41:46Yeah, he, um, found it hilarious.
41:48All right, mate, later's.
41:49Later's.
41:49You're moving to a monastery in the North Pole.
41:54Like, wow.
41:55Yeah, you tell him how you really think.
41:56Mm, talk about not reading the room.
41:58Aw.
41:59Well, it sounds like he took it on the chin.
42:01Yeah.
42:01Yeah, he was really good about it, to be fair.
42:04Mum, I would have paid money to be there, honestly.
42:06The look on his face would have been...
42:07Mum.
42:09Are you sure you're OK with me staying here?
42:12Yes.
42:13Of course I am.
42:14Your home's my home.
42:15Why would you even ask that question?
42:16It's just when you were going on about me getting my own place and stuff.
42:20Oh, no.
42:20That was, I don't know, maybe he thought you might have, like, outgrown us and, you know,
42:26big city living and just wanted to be a little Miss Independent.
42:30Mum, I am homeless, jobless, my reputation is shot to pieces and I've got about 208 pounds
42:37to my name.
42:37I couldn't be less independent if I tried.
42:39Oh, well, I wouldn't have it any other way.
42:43Aw.
42:44Aw.
42:46Burning the midnight oil.
42:49I'm just leaving now.
42:50Good.
42:51Work-life balance is important.
42:54Well, I won't keep you.
42:56Oh.
42:56Regarding our char earlier, I want you to really think about it.
43:05That's all I've been thinking about, sir.
43:08And?
43:09Don't keep me in suspense now.
43:11I'm ready to take the next step.
43:14With everything that entails.
43:16I'm all in, boss.
43:17I just want to be the best detective I can be.
43:19Then I'd like to help you realise that ambition.
43:24I appreciate that.
43:26I know you do.
43:28So, we have an understanding.
43:32Absolutely.
43:33It's a machine.
43:34Leave it with me to weave some of our magic.
43:39Good night.
