00:00MUSIC
00:26Breakfast.
00:28This isn't right. I haven't done anything.
00:30When are you going to let me go?
00:32I'm sorry, love. It's not up to me.
00:43Becky?
00:44You here?
00:54Did you get my text?
00:56No, I had my phone off.
00:57Kit reckons they might be going to charge her
01:00with criminal damage and assault now.
01:03They'll be fine, don't worry.
01:05We'll have a brew if you make him one.
01:08Hang on, our daughter has been accused
01:10of smashing up a police car and assaulting an officer.
01:13She could go to prison?
01:14She might not.
01:16How can you be so blasé?
01:19Because...
01:20of this.
01:33Yeah, well, I wanted to make up for yesterday
01:35because I was a bit insensitive.
01:37That seems too much, doesn't it?
01:39Well, we'll get through it.
01:42And we'll get her through it together.
01:44You know, everybody knows what she did.
01:46I've been getting messages asking how she is,
01:48wishing her well.
01:48Well, that's nice.
01:49No, it's not what she wants.
01:51So we've got to stop her from finding out.
01:53No, I don't think we can.
01:54You know, the minute she steps outside...
01:56Yeah, OK, so I'm going to tell people
01:57not to say anything.
01:58Well, that's not going to work.
02:00No, no, no, we've got to tell her
02:02so it's not a shock.
02:06Honey, she's going to be devastated.
02:07You were up a lot in the night.
02:12Every five minutes, it seemed.
02:14Checking up on her.
02:15Yeah, I thought you might be.
02:16What else can I do?
02:17She's not accepting private counselling.
02:19But we've got to respect her principles.
02:21Yeah, and I'm trying.
02:23But all we can do is support her.
02:25You know, listen to her.
02:26Give her time.
02:29Time.
02:31And what if she doesn't have that?
02:34So, Toddlicious, where are you going to take me
02:35in your shiny new car?
02:36Where do you fancy?
02:38I don't know, maybe you could surprise me.
02:40OK, yeah.
02:42Eaton Park?
02:43No, it's not a surprise if you tell me
02:45where we're going, is it?
02:46All right, well, I can do that, yeah.
02:49Oh, actually, do you know what?
02:50Eaton Park's all right.
02:51It's got, like, a little zoo.
02:53No way.
02:54What, lions and that?
02:55No, don't be daft.
02:56It's rabbits and gores and that sort of stuff.
02:59Oh.
03:00I'll tell you what, they've got alpacas, though.
03:02Hey, now you're talking.
03:03Love an alpaca, me.
03:05They'd say the kids when they were little.
03:06Yeah, it gets muddy, though.
03:08Well, that's all right.
03:09Just don't get any of my shiny new car.
03:12Oh, I don't believe it.
03:15What is it?
03:17Alpaca's left away, I'm afraid.
03:18It's, um, it's Gary.
03:19He wants to see me.
03:20How's that the new business deal?
03:21Mm, yeah.
03:23Uh, him and Pete.
03:25And to meet him.
03:26Doing okay?
03:28Yeah.
03:28Yeah, I think so.
03:29Um, I'll see you later.
03:31Okay.
03:32Uh, give me a shout when you're on the way back.
03:34In the meantime, I will try and find my wellies.
03:37You need to let my daughter out now.
03:41I'm sorry, Lisa.
03:42You know I can't do that.
03:44This says you can.
03:46What is it?
03:47It's evidence.
03:48CCTV footage of someone trashing the police car that Betts has been charged with damaging.
03:52I'm guessing it's not her.
03:54Bang on.
03:55It's a six-foot bloke in a balaclava.
03:57What about the assault?
03:59I'll be discussing that with Dia Costello.
04:02All right, well, you know the procedure.
04:05We'll have to review the evidence, how it was obtained.
04:07Yeah, well, you can forget all that.
04:08I want to know why the officer in charge couldn't get hold of this CCTV footage.
04:11It's gross incompetence.
04:13I don't know anything about that.
04:14OK.
04:17I'll find Dia Costello and sort it myself.
04:20I'm right here.
04:24What do you want to know?
04:26Come on, hurry up.
04:28Hang on a minute.
04:29Is that tap still dripping?
04:31Yeah.
04:33Oh, Bethany, come on, hurry up.
04:34How long does it take to try another Halloween costume?
04:38Well, that's not very scary.
04:40Didn't fit.
04:40Right, well, do you not want to swap it for a different size, then?
04:44No, I didn't like it either, so I'm just going to send it back.
04:47Oh, well, can I not see you try it on?
04:49No.
04:50I've got to go to work.
04:51Darling, this isn't about the stoma, is it?
04:53No, of course it's not stopping either in.
04:55Well, it just seems like you took a very long time trying to find that costume and everything, so...
04:59I can just get a different one.
05:01It's not a big deal.
05:06Sorry, but I had no choice.
05:09You had no evidence.
05:11That was enough.
05:13You kept a young woman in the cells overnight with nothing.
05:15No witnesses, just a social media post that we both know wouldn't stand up in court.
05:19And you couldn't even get the CCTV footage.
05:21Well, don't forget that it's all.
05:23She's got quite a temper on her.
05:25Well, she says she never touched you.
05:28I was there.
05:32Well, I don't know what I believe.
05:35Bearing in mind this fiasco with the car damage.
05:38Actually, I want to make a formal complaint.
05:40Against you.
05:43That's fine.
05:43But as you know, we'll then have to ask questions about how the CCTV evidence was found.
05:50And I don't think you want to go there, do you?
05:53It was Becky, wasn't it?
05:56No comment.
05:58She should be more careful.
06:00If she gets identified, she could be in big trouble.
06:03I know.
06:04But you're the one who drove her to it with your shoddy policing.
06:06I know what you went through was rough.
06:08But you need to give Becky a break.
06:11Why did you say that?
06:13She didn't want to disappear.
06:15She fought it tooth and nail.
06:19How do you mean?
06:20She wanted to come back and tell you she was alive on multiple occasions.
06:24I won't let her.
06:26Blocked it every time.
06:28It's too risky.
06:30So if you're going to be mad at anyone,
06:33look at me.
06:35It wasn't her choice to stay away.
06:39No, no, I agree with you, no.
06:41Oh, probably is what Bernard would have wanted.
06:44Yeah.
06:45Well, I can get that sorted for you.
06:48Toot sweet.
06:50Yes.
06:51And thank you very much, Mrs Weaver.
06:53Talk to you soon.
06:54Bye-bye.
06:54Yes.
06:56Platinum package.
06:57I haven't sold one of them for years.
06:58Oh, you all right, love?
07:01Yeah.
07:02You know, I'm fine.
07:02Just got me shoe coat on the desk.
07:04Yeah, mate.
07:05Do you know what?
07:05I think you are working too hard.
07:07Half past seven, you're here every single morning.
07:09I'm fine.
07:11I'm up early all the time.
07:13Yeah.
07:14Can't turn work down, can I?
07:15Well, I know your business is death,
07:16but we don't want you carking it, do we?
07:18I'm joking, aren't you?
07:19Ah.
07:19Fit as a fiddle, me.
07:20I have seen you yawning at your desk
07:22when you think no one's looking at you.
07:23Oh, rubbish.
07:24I might get a bit of sleep in the afternoon,
07:26but who doesn't?
07:28Look at you.
07:29You're absolutely exhausted.
07:30Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
07:35Are you OK?
07:37I'm fine, really.
07:38A bit knackered.
07:40Yeah, well, I have to get you a season ticket for themselves.
07:43Not funny.
07:43I didn't actually do something this time.
07:46Yeah, thank god you found that CCTV footage.
07:48Mm-hm.
07:49How did you get it?
07:50I have my ways.
07:51Did that job for a long time, remember?
07:53I'm glad you did.
07:55That's what mums are for.
07:59Right, I'm going to go for a walk.
08:00Clear my hair, taste a bit of fresh air,
08:02might even buy fruit.
08:04Ooh, study on.
08:06And let's get arrested.
08:08Ha-ha.
08:15So, go on.
08:18How did you get it, then?
08:20I went to the shop and asked nicely.
08:22And he just handed it over
08:24when he didn't give it to the actual police.
08:26There might have been some gentle coercion.
08:29Becky.
08:31What?
08:32Well, you can't go around doing stuff like that, can you?
08:34You'll blow your cover.
08:35Yeah, I know.
08:36But my daughter was in trouble
08:37and someone had to help her.
08:41Yeah, well...
08:42I might not agree with your methods,
08:47but you did good today.
08:50So I got you this.
08:53Oh.
08:54That's very kind of you.
08:55I do like a rosé.
08:58Yeah, I remember.
09:02And he also spoke to Costello.
09:04Hmm.
09:04Lucky you.
09:07He said that after you'd gone,
09:08you kept trying to contact us.
09:09And he blocked you.
09:14Can't believe a word that man says.
09:19Is it true?
09:21Of course it is.
09:24I was desperate to tell you.
09:27I was losing everything.
09:32It must have been so hard for you.
09:35Still is.
09:35I should have stood up to Costello.
09:40But I was scared.
09:41For all of us.
09:44You did the right thing.
09:46I'm not sure.
09:48Just like you did with Bessie
09:49and this police car business.
09:52Yeah.
09:53She's out.
09:53And that's all that matters.
09:55Thanks to you.
09:59Right.
09:59Um...
10:00Better get my stuff packed up then.
10:02Wait.
10:08Well, you could stay a bit longer.
10:11If you want.
10:13Yeah.
10:14I'd like that.
10:15Hey, darling.
10:33How you doing?
10:34Yeah, fine.
10:34Did you sleep well?
10:36Yeah, a bit.
10:38And are we feeling better?
10:39Dad.
10:40OK, no, I'm sorry.
10:41Listen, wanted to get you a drink.
10:43No, I'm all right.
10:44Tea, coffee, watch out.
10:45I'm not like, I don't want to drink.
10:46Honey, I'm so sorry.
10:48OK, let me clean this up.
10:49Look, I can clean it myself.
10:50Let me help.
10:51OK, Dad, just leave it.
10:52OK, just leave me alone.
10:54Yeah.
10:55OK.
10:56Look, why don't you just...
10:57Just go out for a bit, all right?
10:58Give me some space.
11:01OK.
11:01Ah, Betsy, I heard about your incarceration.
11:12Well, it was only a night in the cells, and I actually hadn't done anything this time, so...
11:17Well, roll for the rest.
11:19You should seek justice.
11:20Yeah, maybe I'll talk to my mum about it, but right now, all I really want is a decent copy.
11:25I'm knackered.
11:25That's understandable.
11:28So, er, how are things otherwise with, er, Carla being away?
11:34Fine, yeah, you know.
11:35I imagine you're pleased with the re-emergence of your aunt?
11:40Yeah, it's great.
11:42I've really missed her.
11:44She spend a lot of time at the house with you and, er, your mum, Lisa.
11:51A bit, yeah.
11:54I've got a very nice lasagna.
11:57I could bring it round.
11:59Oh, you don't have to.
12:00No, I insist.
12:01I have experienced police station food.
12:04No, no, no.
12:05No, yeah, no.
12:07Thanks, Ron.
12:10When did you get out?
12:16Well, about an hour ago.
12:18On bail?
12:19No.
12:20Charges dropped because I did nothing.
12:22Yeah, right.
12:24Coffee, please, Roy.
12:25Yes, certainly.
12:26I just think someone needs to have a word with that name, aren't they?
12:30I can't.
12:32Dev's already worn me off.
12:34Right, what's all this about?
12:36Nothing.
12:37Because I distinctly heard the name now, aren't I?
12:40I want to help Asha.
12:43Right, you need to leave this alone.
12:45Remember what happened last time?
12:46That's what I've been saying.
12:48But this ain't right, what she's done.
12:51Right, that's a maybe.
12:52But it's not your place to go kicking off, is it?
12:54Yeah, you'll end up getting in trouble like I did, making things worse for Asha.
12:58And she's dangerous.
13:00What, Asha?
13:01No, Naomi.
13:02What do you mean?
13:04This is between us.
13:06But she's got a history of aggressive behaviour.
13:10Well, even more reason why we need to sort it out, then.
13:13I told you, Jenna.
13:14Stay out of it.
13:15What do you think, Kim?
13:24I'm going to sort this, whether you owe me or not.
13:29OK, there you go.
13:31Is that all right?
13:31Yeah, I love them.
13:32Thanks.
13:32I'm going to post a photo on my socials.
13:34Well, remember what we talked about?
13:36This is just something to make you feel nice.
13:38It's not about changing who you are.
13:39I know about it.
13:40It's still cool, though.
13:41Right, well, do that later, because you're working now.
13:43Go and ask Mrs Walker if she wants a drink.
13:46Hi, Ruby.
13:46You OK?
13:47Hiya, do you want to talk?
13:47Yeah, I just need Hope.
13:49Hope?
13:50Yes, I'm getting her a drink.
13:51Oh, Ruby wants you.
13:53Mum says she wants you home.
13:55What, like now?
13:56No.
13:57After work.
13:58We need to look after Dora while she goes to the hospital.
14:01Fine, I'll come straight home.
14:03Just get your nails done.
14:04Yeah, nice, aren't they?
14:06They're all right.
14:08I'm going to put a photo on my socials.
14:09But I'll get loads of likes for these.
14:12Whatever.
14:12I need to get back to school.
14:15Hope.
14:16Mrs Walker's dying of thirst over here.
14:17All right, sorry.
14:23Well, I need to get it all properly costed,
14:24but I'm sure it'll work out.
14:25Right.
14:26How long before you can start?
14:28I reckon next week.
14:29Grace.
14:30Hey.
14:31How come you're not answering my calls?
14:32Yeah, I'm just a bit busy.
14:33I'll call you back later on.
14:34Got a leaky tap.
14:37All right, well, I'll come look at it tomorrow.
14:38I'll have a flood by then.
14:40Yeah, I'm just in a meeting here.
14:42Sorry, mate.
14:42Crazy ex won't leave me alone.
14:43Oh, yeah, he wishes.
14:45Hi, I'm Sarah.
14:46Pete.
14:46Nice to meet you.
14:48Right, fine.
14:49Let me finish here and I'll come and do your tap.
14:50Oh, okay, cool.
14:52Thanks.
14:52I'll see you later.
14:53Hi, sir.
14:54Hey.
14:56All right?
14:57I was wondering when you'd finally show up.
14:59I'm not supposed to be working today, so.
15:02All right, well, don't worry.
15:02We won't keep you long.
15:03That'll be for yourself.
15:06Yeah, well, just after your thoughts on the scaffolding for the tile street job.
15:10Right, well, I mean, you could have sent me an email, mate, haven't you?
15:12Oh, Pete insisted.
15:13Yeah.
15:14I wanted to see you again.
15:15We're a team, aren't we?
15:17Yeah.
15:17Yeah, yeah.
15:18Yeah, fine.
15:20Well, I'm here now, aren't I?
15:20So, uh, you got the plans?
15:22Yeah, they're in the office.
15:23I'll see the plans, sir.
15:41I hope you're grateful.
15:43It was a nice touch.
15:45Saying you forced me not to tell them I was still alive.
15:48Did Lisa buy it?
15:50I think so.
15:51Good.
15:53That's my pardon.
15:55Over to you now.
15:56Yeah, I'm working on it.
15:57Not good enough.
15:58I want you gone.
15:59Can't do that yet.
16:01Look, my career is on the line with this.
16:04My whole life.
16:06Once I've got my family back.
16:11Right.
16:11I bought you a nice cup of chamomile tea to help you relax.
16:17George?
16:20George?
16:25Oh, good Lord, no.
16:26Oh.
16:35Please don't be dead.
16:36Oh, thank you, God.
16:45Oh, my God.
16:47Hello, shuttle bus.
16:53Hello.
16:54Yes, sorry.
16:54Can you say that again?
16:56Yes, we've got some work going on.
16:59Yes, it's a very loud drill.
17:00Uh, sorry.
17:03Yes.
17:05No, no, I'm afraid George isn't available for any engagements at the moment.
17:09Sorry, when was this again?
17:10Uh, I see.
17:14Yeah, no, no, he's not available, I'm afraid.
17:16He's far too busy.
17:17Um, but I will tell him, I will tell him that you called, all right?
17:23Yes, thank you very much.
17:26Bye-bye.
17:36Your output will be five minutes, Petal.
17:39You know, I haven't been called that in a while, but...
17:44Nice.
17:47Well, you need a bit of love at the moment, don't you?
17:51Hey.
17:54I mean, how do people deal with these things?
17:57I don't think I'm coping very well.
18:02You just have to try and be there for him.
18:04Yeah.
18:06But how?
18:06Because she won't talk to me.
18:08It's tricky.
18:10I guess she just needs to feel loved and...
18:13and supported.
18:15What the hell?
18:16How do I do that?
18:18Just be you.
18:19You're a good bloke.
18:22I'm sure you'll be a really good dad, too.
18:24You know, it gets harder as you...
18:30They get older, but they don't tell you that, do they?
18:32And she must have been so lost.
18:34And she must have been so lost.
18:37And so alert.
18:42I'm sorry.
18:43Come on.
18:45It's going to be okay.
18:48I don't know if it will.
18:50It will, darling.
18:54I'm sorry.
18:55It's okay.
18:57Right.
18:58If this goes well, I've got a load of other jobs we can team up on.
19:01It's great, eh?
19:02Yeah.
19:03Let's get through this one first, eh?
19:05I think I'm going to enjoy getting in a bed with you guys.
19:09Do you reckon he's flirting with us to get more work?
19:11Guilty as jobs.
19:13Right, I'm nipping the loop.
19:14Won't be long.
19:18And there were two.
19:20Listen, I've got to go soon, so...
19:22Hey, I enjoyed your comedy last week.
19:25Yeah?
19:25Yeah.
19:26Been thinking about you.
19:27Listen, you've got to be more professional.
19:29Excuse me?
19:31But, look, what happened between us was a mistake.
19:34We shouldn't have done it.
19:35Why not?
19:36Hey, we both enjoyed ourselves.
19:37It's not happening again.
19:39Why are you being such a drama queen?
19:40Oh!
19:41What did you say to me?
19:42Hey, calm down.
19:44Don't you tell me to calm down.
19:45Say it again, see what happens.
19:48I know.
19:49We should watch Game of Thrones.
19:50What, now?
19:51Yeah, we never finished it.
19:53Eh, well, something got in the way, didn't it?
19:55What was it now?
19:57Oh, yeah, I remember.
19:58You died.
20:00What series were we up to?
20:02I've no idea.
20:03The one with the baby dragons.
20:04You still got the box set?
20:06Somewhere.
20:07Please, let's put it on.
20:10Pick up where we left off.
20:11You used to love those nights, you know?
20:15Betsy in bed.
20:16Take away.
20:17Bottle of rosé.
20:19Bliss.
20:20Yeah.
20:26Nights were the hardest after you went.
20:30Wasn't exactly a fun palace for me, either.
20:32On my own, pretending to be dead so people didn't come and kill me.
20:39True.
20:42I wish I could go back.
20:44Change everything.
20:47Stop it from happening.
20:53Me too.
20:53But at least I'm here now.
21:02And it's nice, doing this again, with you.
21:05Yeah, as long as you don't fall asleep.
21:07That was your trick.
21:08Well, so from wine, it's a brutal combination.
21:13Doze off if you want.
21:14I don't mind.
21:16Well, you were always so comfortable, that was a problem.
21:19And you just can't take your booze.
21:45Vax, anyone in?
21:46Oh, hello.
21:53You had a courier without me.
21:55Well, you weren't here, were you?
21:57Papa Dom's in the bag.
21:58Aye, they're mine.
22:01Roy?
22:02Not for me, thank you.
22:16Roy brought us a lasagna.
22:24Oh, thank you, Roy.
22:25Yeah.
22:26Thank you, Roy.
22:27It's been a bit of a day.
22:30Ooh.
22:31If you're not too tired, I'd love to see the rest of your designs.
22:36Um, yeah, of course.
22:37I mean, most of them are online, but...
22:39Can I borrow your laptop, man?
22:41Hmm?
22:41Uh, yeah, it's charging in my room.
22:44Let's go.
22:46Look at you, interested in my college, whatever.
22:48Yeah, of course.
22:49Why not?
22:49Uh, Roy.
22:54Have you got a sec?
22:56Of course, yes.
22:58So, what you walked in on there...
22:59You don't have anything to explain?
23:03Yeah, well, I know that, but I need to explain that it wasn't anything.
23:07There's no need to worry.
23:09But, like I said, it's been a trying day, and...
23:12Well, we were both a bit down, so I just gave her a hug, that's all.
23:15I'd never want to do anything to hurt Collie, you know that.
23:19I love her.
23:20Look, um, keep the Tupperware.
23:23I have something of a surplus, anyway.
23:27You what? Do you think you're funny, do you?
23:29Seriously, hon, you need to chill your boots.
23:31Get out me face, right now.
23:32Hon!
23:33Don't you dare speak to me, Adam, don't you ever!
23:35Everyone just calm down, shall we, boys?
23:37I'm calm.
23:38Muscle Mary, he is the one honking out.
23:39Oh, don't you touch me!
23:41Now, hang on!
23:42Mate, mate, seriously, seriously, just back off, yeah?
23:47Look, I'm sorry, but...
23:48No, no, but nothing, but nothing.
23:50Mate, you're out of order.
23:52All right, look, look, let's leave it.
23:54Let's just get back to work.
23:55No, no, no, I've seen enough.
23:57Temper like that is a liability, and I don't work with liabilities.
24:00No, no, hang on, I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding, mate.
24:04Come on, we can work this out, yeah?
24:05It's not worth losing money over, is it?
24:07Gary, mate, I'm sorry, but you want to work with me?
24:09Find yourself a new scaffolder.
24:16What the hell are you doing?
24:17Flipping heck, look at that.
24:26Like a basking shark, I'm in a filling.
24:28Sorry.
24:29I found him asleep at his desk earlier this afternoon.
24:32Not wrong with a power nap.
24:33Is your sleep apnea playing up again?
24:36Shut up.
24:36Oh, have you not had the snoring combo yet?
24:40Well, if I hadn't, I'd certainly have found out about it today
24:43during the aforementioned power nap.
24:45I've been run ragged.
24:46Well, just like I keep telling him, he's got to slow down.
24:49Take proper lunch breaks and just, you know, look after yourself.
24:53Glad to wear it.
24:54As am I.
24:55Hi, now.
24:56Phone.
24:57Coming.
25:01Although, eh, I meant to be the one who's taking care of you.
25:05You know, winning your affections.
25:07Oh, yeah.
25:08And you've got a way to go with that, I tell you.
25:14Where are you going now?
25:15Grabbing some lunch.
25:16What, we're not going to talk about this?
25:18Why?
25:19You said it yourself.
25:20You saw what he was like.
25:21All his flirty comments and all that.
25:23Yeah, but I don't get why that I'd wind you up so much.
25:26Do you want to know?
25:26Do you really want to know?
25:27Yeah, I do, yeah.
25:28Yeah, all right, I'll tell you.
25:29He made a pass at me and he wouldn't take no for an answer.
25:32Right, well, could you not have turned him down without threatening him?
25:34Oh, forget it, man.
25:35Look, the guy's an idiot, I get that, yeah?
25:37But I mean, I mean, could you...
25:39Gary, just...
25:39Gary!
25:40Just...
25:40Gary!
25:41Forget it.
25:46She's got real talent, hasn't she?
25:48Yeah.
25:49No idea where she got that from.
25:53Becky.
25:54Lisa.
25:56Got your serious face on?
25:58We need to talk.
25:59Yeah.
26:02I know.
26:04Sorry.
26:06It's my fault.
26:08Since being back with you two again, it's weirdly easy to forget the last four years happened.
26:13But they did.
26:16So I've no right to pretend any different.
26:20You're with Carla.
26:26Carla's awesome and Betts likes her, so...
26:29No more sleepovers.
26:31It's for the best.
26:35To be honest, I think I've pushed it too far, even staying this long.
26:38Planning on going back to Spain next week.
26:40What?
26:43Next week?
26:44I told you it was dangerous.
26:46Oh, so that's it, then.
26:48You just turn up.
26:51Hi, I'm alive.
26:52And then you disappear out of our lives again.
26:54No, not disappear.
26:55You know, we can stay in touch now.
26:57Yeah?
26:58You gonna send me your postcard?
27:00Betts, believe me, you are never losing me again.
27:03Whether you like it or not, I'm part of your life now.
27:07Well, you never stopped being a part of my life.
27:10You were pretty much all I thought about since it happened, and now you're just gonna leave again.
27:14I mean, only this time it's way worse because you're choosing to stay away, and I know that.
27:18Oh, come on, that's not fair.
27:20You knew I couldn't stay forever.
27:21No.
27:23Do you know, if you cared about us that much, you'd find a way to state this is just you running away again.
27:35Have a nice life, Mum.
27:38I'm glad you're not dead.
27:44Betts!
27:44She's nice to do that.
27:50Leave me to argument, making sure she gets the last word.
27:53Don't we both know where she gets that from?
27:58OK.
27:59Right.
28:01You need to stand on this.
28:04Er, really?
28:05Yes, every queer needs a pedestal.
28:07You've been watching way too much queer, right?
28:10Yeah, you're not wrong.
28:10I actually binge-watched all the episodes whilst I was recovering after turkey.
28:13Right, OK.
28:15Look in that mirror, and repeat after me.
28:18Right, here we go.
28:20Confidence is a habit, not a personality trait.
28:24Confidence is a habit, not a personality trait.
28:28Yes!
28:28OK, right, next one.
28:30This is JVN.
28:30He's like my spirit animal.
28:31Oh, give me that.
28:33What you resist, persists.
28:35Into the mirror, I let you mean it.
28:37What you resist, persists, and what you accept, flows.
28:41Yes!
28:42Right, go on then.
28:44I've done all the mantras, I've shown you all the boys I'm blocking off my socials.
28:47Even the fit ones.
28:48Er, seriously, 14-year-old boys, not worth the effort.
28:52You need to show me your Halloween costume.
28:54Yeah.
28:55I told you I'm taking it back.
28:57Oh, my dears.
29:00Soku shikitare.
29:01I didn't know you watched anime.
29:03Yeah, I've watched that one, again, whilst I was recovering.
29:05It's got like a million episodes.
29:07This is so nice, you've got to wear it.
29:10I can't.
29:11Why?
29:13Because when I bought it, I didn't realise that it was in two pieces, so you'd see my stoma.
29:18Ah, right.
29:19I could make something for the middle and sew it together, but I haven't got the time, so...
29:24You could do that.
29:25Or you could just wear it and not care.
29:29Yeah, I can't do that.
29:30Erm, hypocrite much.
29:32Queen, what would JVN do?
29:34What, you resist persists?
29:47Nay.
29:53In celebration of the life of Maxine Peacock.
29:57Wonder what she did to deserve a bench.
29:59She was murdered, round here, Carla told me.
30:02Wow.
30:03Yeah, properly murdered.
30:04Not fake murdered, so she could run away from her family.
30:06You knew I couldn't stay forever, not yet.
30:08What, and Alicante's well night?
30:10Yeah, it is.
30:11Yeah, a bit touristy during high season, but my house is away from all that.
30:14On the beach, next to a pine forest.
30:15Sorry, did you expect me to lie?
30:18Right now, I'll stop it for a pokey flat in Manchester in a heartbeat.
30:22You don't have to leave.
30:25I do.
30:26You don't, yeah?
30:28Mum will figure something out.
30:29No, I can't let her do that.
30:30You can.
30:31She's good at this stuff.
30:32Betsy, I'm going.
30:38But...
30:38But what?
30:39What?
30:40There's nothing to stop you coming with me.
30:42I mean, we'd have to be incredibly careful, but...
30:44So what, you become like my holiday mum?
30:46Well, initially, yeah.
30:47But it doesn't just have to be a holiday.
30:50I mean, you're young, Betsy.
30:52You could defer your course or have a gap year or...
30:55You could stay for longer than that.
30:59You could live with me.
31:01Right.
31:06Night, night, Royston.
31:07Good night.
31:08Oh, I'm sorry.
31:12Are you closing?
31:12Well, nearly.
31:14Bernie had an errand.
31:16Okay.
31:16I don't suppose you've got any carrot cake left.
31:18It's pudding for that lasagne.
31:19And there's no ulterior motive this time, I promise.
31:22Well, aside from the fact that Betsy loves it and she needs cheering up.
31:25You are in luck.
31:26Oh.
31:27The remains of the day.
31:29One slice left.
31:30Great.
31:31Might actually have the right change, too.
31:33Ah, you know, no charge.
31:36It's unlikely we'd sell it now.
31:38Oh, thank you, Roy.
31:40That's kind of you.
31:41I owe you one.
31:41Well, two with that lasagne.
31:45Well, with apologies, if I might redeem that favour
31:51by posing a rather indelicate question
31:55on behalf of my friend,
31:58my best friend.
32:00Yeah, that seems fair.
32:03Earlier you professed your love for Carla,
32:05which, if I may say,
32:07is self-evident.
32:08Never been in any doubt.
32:10Good.
32:11The more pressing question is,
32:14do you still love Becky?
32:17Becky, I should point out that your response
32:23has no bearing on it.
32:25Yes.
32:27No.
32:28I still love Becky.
32:29I suppose it was easy to pretend at first,
32:45you know, what,
32:46with the shock and then the hurt
32:48and dealing with everything.
32:52And like you say,
32:53I love Carla.
32:55Roy, I love her so much.
32:57I've never felt this way about anybody
32:59except Becky.
33:03She was my first proper steady girlfriend
33:06and, well, we meshed together so well at work
33:10and then Betsy.
33:13I mean, don't get me wrong,
33:14it wasn't always easy.
33:16Becky and I used to have these massive rows
33:19just screaming at each other.
33:22It was horrendous.
33:23But I think at the time
33:29we both thought that it didn't matter
33:31how much we fell out
33:32because we'd always be together.
33:35And then she...
33:38And now she's back.
33:44Can I ask you one, Ed?
33:47Any delicate question?
33:49Well, it would seem only fair.
33:53If Hayley...
33:56If she came back...
33:58Um, I've agreed to answer,
34:01but I should point out that I am averse
34:05to hypothetical questions.
34:08Sorry.
34:10And if I may say,
34:12I suspect that the question is asked,
34:15er, not wishing for an answer,
34:19but more to make a point.
34:20Which is self-evident.
34:24I would love Hayley as much as I always don't.
34:28As much as I did
34:29the last second I spent with her.
34:37Possibly more?
34:41Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
34:43Sorry.
34:47Sorry if that was another
34:48indelicate hypothetical.
34:50Just...
34:51Just strike that one.
34:56And I'll save you the awkwardness
34:57they're asking me the most obvious question.
35:05If I love them both,
35:06who do I love more?
35:07Who do I want to be with now
35:10and for the rest of my life?
35:14It's Carla.
35:16A hundred times Carla.
35:20But being around Becky, I...
35:22Perhaps it's time
35:29Becky went back to Spain.
35:31Oh, sit down.
35:41Tea's ready.
35:44You cooked?
35:45Oh, I cooked.
35:48Comfy celeriac
35:49with orange and dill.
35:52Comfy!
35:53It's basically a
35:55veggie duck lourange.
35:56A l'orange.
35:57Fantasique.
35:58Found it online.
35:59Wanted to cook something
36:02with orange in it
36:02to...
36:03Apologise for
36:05blowing up about the juice.
36:06Well, it ain't ever about the juice.
36:09No, but...
36:10I'm sorry anyway.
36:13No need to apologise.
36:15Look, Dad, I know...
36:16I know it
36:17must have been a shock to you as well.
36:20So, rather than apologising,
36:22I thought I would cook you something fancy.
36:24Well, honey, I ain't complaining
36:25cos this smells amazing.
36:27I know.
36:28But seriously, OK?
36:32You don't need to apologise, all right?
36:34Just keep talking to me, OK?
36:36Cos, er...
36:37Well, you know, I was like talking to Glenda earlier
36:38about you and, um, she said...
36:40Yeah, you didn't mention anything
36:41about what happened, though, did you?
36:47Dad.
36:48Dad, please tell me
36:49you didn't tell her anything.
36:50Right, it's going to get cold.
36:58Hang on, I just want to show you this dress.
37:01I thought you were sending it back!
37:03Well, I was going to,
37:04but I've had a rethink.
37:06And I actually think I quite like it like this.
37:08Oh, you look cool.
37:10Thanks, Harry.
37:11Very nice.
37:13What do you reckon, Mum?
37:15I think you look absolutely gorgeous.
37:18Oh, my soul.
37:19And are you happy with the...?
37:21Er, yeah.
37:22Yeah, Hope convinced me.
37:24Well, Hope convinced you?
37:26It's not a sentence that usually ends well.
37:28Well, it turns out she's surprisingly wise
37:30for a 14-year-old.
37:32Right, shall we crack on?
37:33It's getting cold.
37:34Two seconds.
37:35OK, so everybody knows.
37:40No, everybody cares.
37:42What's going on?
37:43Oh.
37:44Oh, let's see.
37:45So, half of the street know what happened ages ago,
37:48and Dad has been lying.
37:49No, I haven't been lying.
37:50I've just...
37:51Sweetheart, nobody who knows
37:53is going to be blabbing about this.
37:54No?
37:55No, well, they're not going to treat me the same either,
37:57are they?
37:57No, Arsha, I'm trying my best here.
37:59Right, well, then shut up about it.
38:05Hey.
38:19I only just got back myself.
38:22George needed a bit of, er...
38:24help with some clients.
38:26You're late?
38:28Er, yeah, I went to see some lads I used to work with,
38:30see if they got any jobs on.
38:31More work?
38:32I thought this, er, Pete thing was...
38:36You know, it's not happening.
38:38Oh.
38:39Really?
38:39Why?
38:40Well, the guy's an idiot.
38:41He's a total time-waster.
38:42We had one minor disagreement.
38:44He's pulled the plug.
38:45I'm sorry to hear that.
38:46Yeah.
38:49Well, how about we go for that test ride, then?
38:51Cheer you up.
38:52No, I'm not in the mood.
38:52You sure?
38:53We could go out and get some tea somewhere.
38:55No, I've already eaten, Todd.
38:56All right.
38:56Just the drive, then?
38:57Look, I said I'm not in the mood.
38:59All right?
39:00All right.
39:02Hey.
39:10I saw you'd fallen asleep.
39:12I thought you'd sleep right through, actually.
39:14Um, I thought I had for a minute.
39:17There's some carrot cake on the side.
39:19Nice one.
39:20She doesn't want to go, you know.
39:32There's really nothing you can do to keep her here.
39:34I don't think there is.
39:35No.
39:37No way she could hide that isn't in a different country.
39:39I don't think that...
39:41You don't think?
39:44Betsy.
39:46Do you think if you went with Carla, you'd be able to think of something?
39:51Right.
39:52Come on.
39:53You know this has got nothing to do with Carla.
39:56Right now, Becky's better off in Spain.
39:59Right.
40:03Betsy, come on.
40:04I'm going to go eat this in my room.
40:13Hey.
40:14So Glenda said I should sit with you, because we're closing out for now.
40:20Oh, tell us.
40:22You know, I tried to get Dev out, but he's in a bit of a state.
40:26I wish I'd just kept my big mouth shut.
40:29No, it would have come out eventually.
40:32Yeah, and Dev's worried that Asha's pushing him away.
40:35Look, I know you said we should forget it about that Naomi, yeah?
40:38But I wish I knew where she lived.
40:39Yeah, well, we don't do well, but we do know where she works.
40:42Back in a minute.
40:44Psst, Glenda.
40:47The cocktails were good.
40:48Good?
40:49Glenda Clotini's are better than good.
40:52But I think we need to dial up the courtship a notch.
40:56Bring out the big guns.
40:58You don't mean...
41:00Break out Jezebel.
41:01Although, sadly, Jezebel was dropped into a pint of mild.
41:10What?
41:11I know.
41:12Meet Ethel.
41:15Hello, Ethel.
41:17Good.
41:20Please tell me you're doing the ten things I hate about you.
41:23I said the big guns, didn't I?
41:25Yes.
41:26This one's for you, Heath.
41:28Right.
41:31I shall have you queued and ready in 30 seconds.
41:3330 seconds?
41:34Wow.
41:35What can I say?
41:36I'm a pro.
41:37I'm taking you don't need the lyrics.
41:39No, no, I'm all right.
41:40But I'm going to get them up on me phone for backup.
41:42I always blank on that bit.
41:43No, pardon the way that I stare.
41:44Right.
41:46Live in five.
41:50Out of the way, email pop-up.
41:54Eh?
41:54Oh, my God, I've got a stiffy.
41:59Church!
42:00Yeah, I'm good.
42:01Flipping heck.
42:02Someone knows how to serenade a girl.
42:04Sorry, it's an industry award, you know, for funeral directors.
42:08Some wife decided to call...
42:09No, don't say it again.
42:11Oh, my days, Glenda.
42:14It's the Lifetime Achievement Award, the one I've always...
42:18Hang on a minute.
42:21What?
42:22What?
42:22Well, according to this,
42:27it says I turned down the award this afternoon.
42:30What?
42:31What?
42:35Sorry, it's late.
42:36Oh, it's fine.
42:37You're lucky you caught.
42:38My mum's in bed.
42:41Here.
42:42Cheers.
42:42God, lost that.
42:44I thought you'd be wiped out.
42:46Well, I had a nap earlier and now I can't sleep.
42:48Hmm.
42:49That, and I keep thinking about what you said.
42:52Sorry.
42:53No, it's good.
42:57Hey, there's no pressure.
42:59You know that.
42:59And if you did come, you'd do it entirely legitimately.
43:03You know, whatever you need.
43:04Student visa's the lot.
43:05Hmm.
43:06Didn't think I was posh enough for a gut yard.
43:08You do what you want to do.
43:14I mean that.
43:15You're at the start of your life, Betts.
43:17You make it what you want to make it.
43:18You know, if you want to work, fine.
43:20If you want to just lounge about on a beach all day, then do that.
43:24I think...
43:28I want to come with you.
43:32Yeah?
43:34Yeah.
43:35Oh, you have no idea how happy that makes me.
43:39Right.
43:40Sir, she's going to wake warm.
43:43Oh, sorry.
43:44Did you talk to her about it yet?
43:46No, not yet.
43:48Well, that's okay.
43:49You know, we can work on it together and...
43:51Who knows?
43:52We put our minds to it.
43:54Maybe we can steal her away with us too.
43:58Queer!
43:58No, not yet.
44:28The Kyle's show music.
44:34No, not yet.
44:35No, not yet.
