00:00I
00:30Oh.
00:31Who'd run a pub, eh?
00:33How was Susie?
00:35Three girls ran straight up to her from holiday club.
00:37Oh, you see?
00:39Look at that. Cock of the playground already.
00:41Is that one of my sons?
00:43No work. What time did he get in?
00:45Well, when you went to bed, we cracked up on that bottle of brandy
00:48we've been lugging around since Toulouse.
00:49Played some cards.
00:51Dad cheated as usual.
00:52I did no such thing.
00:54Don't forget, you're picking Will up this afternoon.
00:56You can get the tram.
00:57No, you'll go and get your brother, help him with his bags.
00:59He doesn't know where he's going.
01:00Oh, I thought there were navigation systems built into mobile phones.
01:04You promised.
01:05Fine, I'll get him.
01:07It's a shame Dee Dee missed it.
01:09There'll be other Halloweens, Christmas Eve's, St Patrick's Day's.
01:13For the love of God,
01:16this place looks like Trafalgar Square the morning after VE Day.
01:20Remember it well, do you?
01:21You're not too old to be put over my knee, Oliver.
01:24Kinky.
01:25Yeah.
01:25I mean, what even is it?
01:30Ping.
01:31What's it mean?
01:32I don't know, but it was funny.
01:34How was it funny?
01:35I don't know, it just was.
01:37What, do you fancy him or something?
01:39Ben?
01:40Yes, Ben.
01:41What kind of name's that anyway?
01:43What, now you've got a problem with his name?
01:44Well, he's clearly got under your skin, hasn't he?
01:46He hasn't gotten under my skin.
01:47He can call himself what he likes.
01:49He can ping till his heart's content.
01:51Don't bother me.
01:51Yeah, clearly.
01:52Yeah, clearly.
01:54And he reckons he's played professional rugby.
01:57I looked him up online.
01:59It's hardly a glittering career.
02:01Union as well.
02:03Posh boy.
02:04He doesn't seem it.
02:05Yeah, well, he is.
02:07And what was he doing in a home?
02:08Oh, I don't know, but this is exhausting.
02:11But please remember that he is my good friend's partner,
02:14so don't let this fester, all right?
02:15Mm.
02:16Right, you're done.
02:21Oh, fab.
02:22Hey, that was so funny last night,
02:24what that new landlord did to you.
02:26What was it he said?
02:27Ping.
02:31Yeah, they show me the ropes.
02:33I know I've done it before.
02:36No.
02:37No, I'm not nervous.
02:38I'm just, er...
02:39Well, I'll just be myself.
02:43LAUGHTER
02:44All right, then.
02:45All right, I won't be myself.
02:47I'll be, what does it say these days,
02:49the best version of myself.
02:52Nah, don't know what that means either.
02:54Anyway, how's things over there?
02:56How's your brother?
02:59Good.
03:00I hope you haven't got any little senoritas
03:02in that bed of yours.
03:04Oh, hang on.
03:05Here's a call coming through.
03:06Hang on.
03:11Hello, streetcars.
03:13Yes, OK.
03:15From the airport
03:18to Weatherfield County.
03:23And what's her name, please?
03:24It's...
03:25Cillian...
03:29Mbappe...
03:31M...
03:31M...
03:32What is it?
03:33Can you spell it for us?
03:34E-M...
03:36B-A...
03:38P...
03:40Y-R...
03:41Mbappe.
03:42OK, thank you, Mr Mbappe.
03:44We'll be with you in 15 minutes.
03:45Cheers.
03:48Hey, Tim.
03:49We've got an airport run come through.
03:51It's for a Mistian...
03:52Oh, a Mr Mbappe.
03:55And he's going to the King's Robes Stadium.
03:59Do you want to do it, or shall I send you...
04:02Hang on a minute.
04:03I know that name, Cillian Mbappe.
04:05Is that that footballer fella?
04:09Cillian Mbappe!
04:11Oh, you wind-up.
04:13What are you like?
04:14You fell for that, didn't you?
04:15Can't wait to tell Steve.
04:16I did the French accent and everything.
04:18I take every call on its merits.
04:20Well, sure you should, just in case
04:21he could have been on his way to a medical.
04:23Or county might have been taken over
04:24by a Saudi-based consortium
04:26and he had to announce it.
04:27You're like a child.
04:28That was your initiation ceremony.
04:30You passed me flying colours.
04:31Welcome, streetcars.
04:32Oh!
04:34Oh!
04:38Hello, streetcars.
04:43Ooh, are they my straighteners?
04:45Says it's for Grandad.
04:46Hey, I've told you,
04:47you can use my straighteners
04:48to save you money.
04:50Yours don't work.
04:51Since when?
04:54What are you doing?
04:55I'll say that I didn't read the label.
04:57I thought it was for me.
04:59Do you always do that?
05:01No.
05:02Good to know.
05:05What is it?
05:06Wine.
05:07I can see that.
05:09It's the wine that Cassie drank
05:10from Mum and Dad's first wedding.
05:12She's replaced it.
05:14That's well thoughtful.
05:15Cassandra Plummer.
05:17Oh, just put it back.
05:18It's not yours.
05:19Once again,
05:20she wriggles free.
05:23You had them eating
05:24out of the palm of your hand.
05:26Is it any wonder?
05:27The drinks were free.
05:28I was investing in our future.
05:31They'll be singing your praises
05:32up and down these terraces.
05:34Oh, you absolute superstar.
05:36I was just saying to them,
05:38the regulars love them already.
05:40How could they not?
05:41Don't tell me.
05:44David Webster.
05:45No.
05:46Plot.
05:47Like the footballer
05:48who's saying for Sampdoria.
05:50Yeah.
05:50Nice try.
05:51I keep getting Tim and Kirk
05:52mixed up,
05:53but I'm getting there.
05:54Your missus is Eva's pal
05:56and her name's Shona.
05:59Ten points.
06:00What can I get you?
06:01Uh, just lime and soda,
06:03please.
06:03I'm on my scissors.
06:04I'll get it.
06:06The hairdresser.
06:07That reminds me,
06:08I need to book in.
06:09What?
06:09Across the road?
06:10Yeah, he's really good.
06:12Sorry, mate.
06:12I thought it was a place
06:13for all ladies.
06:14Oh, how is Audrey?
06:16That thing that you did
06:17in here last night.
06:18What thing?
06:19The old, uh, pointing.
06:21Oh, you mean when he pinged you?
06:23Yeah, that's it.
06:24Couldn't remember the word.
06:26Just means he likes you.
06:27What, putting his finger
06:29on my forehead
06:30in front of all my
06:31friends and neighbours?
06:32Oh, I think we have
06:33a touchy one here.
06:35David, I promise you,
06:36he was just being affectionate.
06:38Well, I weren't mad on it,
06:39I'll be honest.
06:40In that case,
06:40it won't happen again.
06:42Unless you act like a flump.
06:43A flump?
06:44In my pub.
06:46Well, it's everyone's pub,
06:47isn't it?
06:48Well, it's our pub,
06:49but you're more than welcome
06:50to drink here.
06:50So, as far as
06:53an apology goes...
06:54I'm sorry if it upset you.
06:56I don't want to say
06:57it upset me.
06:58Well, then I've got
06:58no need to apologise, do I?
07:01Excuse me, brewery.
07:03Ben Driscoll?
07:05It's on the house.
07:06Well, that is rich
07:07after all your carping
07:08last night.
07:09So I'm in picking soda.
07:12Yeah.
07:12And you need to move
07:13those boxes in the hallway
07:14before I break my neck.
07:16What boxes?
07:17Come on, I'll show you.
07:20You probably want to
07:27pull the whole thing off.
07:28I feel exactly the same.
07:30Is that a hint?
07:32Is that what you want?
07:33No.
07:34Are you telling me
07:35that's what I should do?
07:36Hmm?
07:40What is it you're looking for?
07:42Paracetamol.
07:43I...
07:44I usually keep a stash
07:46at work, so...
07:47Yeah, so do I.
07:48Sarah must have robbed them.
07:50There's only chance
07:51you could give me a lift.
07:52No.
07:53Let's see if I could get the tram.
07:56Fine.
08:02All right.
08:03All right, I'll level with you.
08:04If you weren't in the picture
08:06and she hadn't have died,
08:06then, yeah,
08:07we probably would still be together.
08:09But you are in the picture,
08:11front and centre, Carla,
08:12and she did die.
08:13All right, she didn't die,
08:17but for the purposes
08:18of the argument.
08:19Lisa, you kissed!
08:23That's the thing
08:24that I can't get past.
08:27It really wasn't like that.
08:28But she'll persuade you
08:29in the end.
08:31I'm not available.
08:33Oh, God,
08:33everybody's available, Lisa.
08:35There might be
08:35an emotional prize,
08:37but everybody's available.
08:38If you didn't love me,
08:42then you'd walk away.
08:43Finally.
08:46Tell me mine is here.
08:48Ryan.
08:50Well, there's heroes.
08:51Welcome.
08:52What have I missed?
08:56Maybe I should have access
08:57to your business accounts.
08:59Make sure there's no mistakes.
09:00What kind of mistakes?
09:02Payrolls, tax returns,
09:04bulk orders,
09:04a toilet paper.
09:05I could take it all
09:06off your hands.
09:06Make sure the decimal point
09:08is in the right place.
09:10I'm not about to order
09:1120 million toilet rolls.
09:12No, but see it more
09:14like an extra pair of eyes.
09:16I don't think I've
09:17decayed that much.
09:19I'm not saying that you have.
09:22But you did think
09:24I had a thing for James.
09:28I'm just nipping out.
09:29Peter, why am I so nervous?
09:37The whole thing
09:39is nerve-wracking, Dev.
09:40What she's been through,
09:42the journey ahead.
09:43Yeah.
09:45Okay.
09:46Yeah.
09:49Where's my shirt?
09:50What shirt?
09:51The one I was just
09:52about to hang up.
09:52Well, we were here
09:55all along.
09:57Well, um,
09:58apart from when you
09:58were showing me the boxes.
10:00What boxes?
10:01The ones in the hallway
10:02full of her make-up.
10:03They weighed a ton.
10:04You mean to say
10:05you left the bar on mind?
10:06It was literally
10:06like 10 seconds.
10:08She did, not me.
10:09There was nobody in here
10:10apart from David.
10:12David Platt?
10:14Do you think it was him?
10:14Look, I felt bad,
10:34so I replaced her.
10:36I thought it was
10:36a nice gesture.
10:38But you wouldn't know
10:39what one of those is,
10:40would you?
10:40Creeping and crawling
10:41round my elderly dad.
10:43You think a cheap box
10:44of wine is going to
10:45make up for you
10:45trying to kill him?
10:46I did not try to kill him.
10:48Really landed on your feet,
10:49haven't you?
10:50No.
10:51Hey, Trace,
10:52I meant to ask you,
10:54do you reckon
10:54I should get that colour
10:55with my hair?
10:56Yeah, why not?
10:57Yeah, and also,
10:58I was thinking, you know,
10:59getting a bit of feathering done,
11:00you know, a few more layers.
11:01What do you think?
11:02Go for it.
11:03I mean, it couldn't
11:04look much worse.
11:05You are so rude.
11:07And it's me trying
11:07to be nice for your dad's sake.
11:09For the sake of his will.
11:11Oh, for crying out loud.
11:13You think you're going
11:14to get your hands
11:14on everything that's owed
11:15to me, but you won't.
11:17See you later.
11:18Yeah.
11:19Good luck this afternoon.
11:23And you've tried the salon?
11:25Twice.
11:26Right, well,
11:26he's got four reds this afternoon
11:27with breaks in between.
11:28What will he have done with it?
11:30If he took it.
11:31There's no if.
11:32Look, David did not
11:33take your shirt,
11:34I promise you.
11:34And anyway,
11:35if the bar was left unattended,
11:36anyone could have done it,
11:37couldn't they?
11:37Was it valuable?
11:39Well, it is to me.
11:40I scored three tries
11:41at Lansdowne Road
11:42wearing that shirt.
11:43All right,
11:43what do you think?
11:44He's done cut it up
11:45into pieces.
11:46Cut it up?
11:47Look,
11:47he wasn't very happy
11:48last night
11:48with that pinging business.
11:50Come on,
11:50what do you just say?
11:51Right,
11:52David hasn't taken your shirt,
11:53but I will tell you
11:54this for nothing.
11:55Do not underestimate
11:56my husband.
11:57Tough guy.
11:58You say tough?
11:59Fearless?
11:59I wouldn't say that either.
12:01Unpredictable.
12:02Look,
12:03we had a really hard year
12:04last year,
12:04but there is no way on earth...
12:05So I hurt his feelings
12:06or his pride.
12:08Right now,
12:08David's various insecurities
12:09are not my problem.
12:10He needs to bring back
12:11that shirt before I lay
12:12more than a finger on him.
12:13Right,
12:13I'll pass it on.
12:14Please do.
12:15Look,
12:15he's had a lot going on recently.
12:17Look,
12:17maybe you're all a bit sensitive
12:18around here,
12:19but where I come from,
12:20you work hard
12:20and you play hard.
12:21Right now,
12:22he's bitten off
12:22more than he can chew.
12:23Right,
12:23well,
12:23there's no need
12:24for this to escalate.
12:26Good.
12:35David,
12:36you need to give him
12:37that shirt back
12:38because he's going
12:38to batter you.
12:44How many of those
12:45you had today?
12:46What,
12:47why?
12:47Why?
12:49You've had enough,
12:50all right?
12:51You need to slow it right down.
12:53Oh,
12:53actually,
12:54yeah,
12:54I've got to split in a dick.
12:55You're not surprised.
12:57Take a leaf out of my book.
12:59Peppermint tea.
13:00That is the strongest thing
13:01I had to drink out of it.
13:02I know.
13:03Ryan,
13:04please tell me
13:04I've got nothing to worry about,
13:05that she loves me
13:06and she's not going to
13:07run off with some
13:07gauntless skanky
13:08thing I've been
13:09behind the tree
13:09in Alicante
13:10for the last four years.
13:11Will you stop it?
13:12Go on.
13:15Really nice to see
13:16everyone out there,
13:17wouldn't it?
13:20Nice to call it
13:21in my Uncle Paul.
13:22Oh,
13:23Ryan,
13:23look forward,
13:24darling,
13:24never back.
13:26Nostalgia.
13:27It's a racket.
13:29Yeah.
13:30You,
13:30uh-oh.
13:32Notice anything
13:32a little bit different
13:33about me?
13:36New perfume.
13:37No.
13:38Honestly.
13:39Have a nothing.
13:40Any dry?
13:41No,
13:41he wasn't there.
13:42Who wasn't where?
13:43David.
13:43He wasn't at home
13:44or at the salon.
13:45David was at the salon
13:46this morning.
13:47Oh,
13:47baby,
13:48he'll bring it back.
13:48I'll wring his neck.
13:50No,
13:50you won't.
13:51I want everything
13:51nice and calm
13:52for when Will gets back.
13:53If there's so much
13:54as one speck of dirt
13:55on that shirt.
13:56I mean,
13:56the David Platt,
13:57I remember,
13:57would have soaked it
13:58in diesel
13:58and set fire to it.
14:00I'm only joking.
14:02Kind of.
14:03Look,
14:03we promised ourselves
14:04that we would not
14:05fall out with the locals.
14:06Did we?
14:07Yes,
14:07we did.
14:08And whilst I remember,
14:09we should have got
14:10a welcome home banner.
14:12He's been on a week-long trip
14:13to Scotland,
14:13not a three-month tour
14:14of Afghanistan.
14:15All right.
14:16The cabin have got one.
14:19I say he got a bit
14:20of a temper.
14:21When he blows,
14:22he blows.
14:24I like a man
14:25with a bike.
14:25Excuse me?
14:27In general,
14:28I mean.
14:29I mean,
14:29all this touchy-feely stuff.
14:31Well,
14:31I don't mind that either.
14:32Just depends
14:32what they're touching.
14:34We really should get
14:35a swear box.
14:36Stop that sort of
14:37language in the bar.
14:38Oh,
14:39come on,
14:39Maggie,
14:39you know exactly
14:40what I mean.
14:41I do not.
14:42I bet you were
14:43fighting him off
14:44with a stick
14:45in your day.
14:46Oh,
14:46yeah.
14:46Men fought duels
14:47over,
14:47Maggie.
14:49Knights jousted
14:50for her favour.
14:51She'll be old
14:52herself one day.
14:53She won't be
14:54so clever then.
14:55Hey,
14:55get her to show you
14:56some pictures
14:56of when she was a catch.
14:57Apparently,
14:58Ray Davis sang to her.
15:00Did he?
15:01Mm.
15:01She was at a kinks gig
15:03and apparently
15:03he didn't take his eyes
15:05off her
15:05all the way
15:06through Lola.
15:07It was celluloid heroes,
15:09actually.
15:10The song changes
15:11every now and then.
15:12I'm going to have
15:13the kinks at my funeral.
15:14Well,
15:14they'd be expensive.
15:16Not in person.
15:18I'm open to outlast them all.
15:21What,
15:22can I get you,
15:22love?
15:23Can I borrow you,
15:24Glenn?
15:25Yeah,
15:25yeah,
15:25yeah.
15:26How do you know
15:31it was me?
15:32Who else could it
15:33have been?
15:34Besides which,
15:34I saw the frame
15:35in our bedroom.
15:36So be the bigger man
15:37or it's me
15:38you'll have the problem
15:38with.
15:43I'm thinking
15:44maybe I should
15:45give up the hotel.
15:48What for?
15:49Or at least
15:49take a back seat.
15:51But you're
15:52at the top of your game
15:53and you will be
15:54for many years to come.
15:55listen to you.
15:58You're lucid.
15:59You're busy,
16:00successful,
16:00highly motivated woman.
16:05Ladies,
16:06can I get you
16:08both a cup of tea?
16:09A sandwich,
16:11perhaps?
16:11Some snacks.
16:13I'm sorry,
16:13we won't be long.
16:14It is me break.
16:16I know.
16:17And God forbid
16:18you should spend it
16:19in your own home.
16:25Right, so go on.
16:30Our Carl,
16:31well,
16:32he's very kindly
16:33offered to
16:34lighten the load.
16:36What?
16:36If it's downtime
16:37you need,
16:38that's different.
16:39But you're
16:39as sharp as a tack.
16:40I don't feel
16:42like it sometimes.
16:45Hey,
16:45and thanks
16:46for having a chat
16:47with our Kev
16:48the other day.
16:49I'm glad to help,
16:50but I'm serious.
16:52You put us
16:53all to shame.
17:03Betsy,
17:03not him?
17:04No.
17:05Lisa?
17:05Just you and me.
17:07Am I about to get
17:07waxed?
17:08Please,
17:09cause,
17:09that's right.
17:09Okay.
17:11Let's hear it.
17:13Okay.
17:15Look,
17:15Becky,
17:16I know
17:17your daughter's here,
17:18okay?
17:19And I know
17:20that you want
17:21your old life back,
17:22but see,
17:23the thing is,
17:24your old life,
17:26that doesn't
17:27exist anymore,
17:29okay?
17:30Me and Lisa,
17:33look,
17:33we jointly
17:34own this house.
17:35That's just
17:36paperwork.
17:36Well,
17:37it counts,
17:37some of it.
17:38A bit like
17:38your old
17:39death certificate.
17:40They misidentified
17:41the body.
17:43But it did the job.
17:45You know,
17:45because
17:45as far as
17:47the law of the land
17:48goes,
17:49you're not
17:50married anymore.
17:51You are officially
17:52underground,
17:53not the way you belong.
17:54she kissed me.
17:55She kissed me.
18:01You kissed her!
18:02What,
18:03is this a playground?
18:05I saw it in her eyes,
18:06she still loves me.
18:08You know,
18:08whatever I put them through,
18:09whatever it says
18:10on that paperwork,
18:11the eyes always tell
18:12the truth.
18:15Becky,
18:15you don't stand a chance.
18:16Go back to your husband.
18:18Isn't one of them
18:18still alive?
18:19I see the gloves
18:21are off now.
18:22Yeah.
18:23I saw Lisa this morning
18:24coming out of the corner shop.
18:25She was wearing a top
18:26I once bought her.
18:27Oh my gosh,
18:28you're spying on it now.
18:29It all came rushing
18:29back to her yesterday.
18:32I'm sorry to be the bearer
18:33of bad news,
18:33but I think you're
18:34probably sensing it anyway.
18:35You know what,
18:36Becky,
18:36you look better in a mask.
18:38It was liberating.
18:40For Lisa too.
18:42We bought some in Venice
18:43on our honeymoon.
18:44It probably reminded her of that.
18:45It's quite sexy,
18:47being incognito.
18:50You had a problem
18:51with alcohol too,
18:52I hear.
18:52I beg your pardon?
18:53As well as blokes?
18:54Time you were leaving.
18:55All right.
18:56I'll see myself out.
18:57No problem.
19:00Yeah.
19:11Hiya.
19:16Hiya.
19:21Hiya for Bernie.
19:26Oh,
19:28they're not even from the shop.
19:30Oh,
19:31you accidentally
19:33on purpose
19:33left the sticker on.
19:41So,
19:53where was he
19:54on this,
19:55this little trip?
19:56Uh,
19:56Aberdeen.
19:56Oh,
19:57oh,
19:57that's very nice.
19:59Yeah,
19:59I mean,
20:00it was Paris last year.
20:01Oh,
20:02the city of love.
20:04Ah,
20:04no,
20:05it's pronounced
20:05the Louvre.
20:08Gay Paris.
20:09Oh,
20:09actually,
20:09can you still say that?
20:10Hmm.
20:11So,
20:11what was he doing
20:11in Aberdeen?
20:12It was an athletics thing,
20:14same as last year,
20:15although Paris was better
20:16for his French GCSE.
20:17And did he win?
20:18Well,
20:18I don't know,
20:19he doesn't tell us anything,
20:20does he?
20:20Yeah,
20:21you asked him how they do
20:22and they respond
20:22with a thumbs up emoji.
20:24How was Paris,
20:25Will?
20:25Did you see the Mona Lisa?
20:27I don't know.
20:28Nothing.
20:29To be fair,
20:30though,
20:30there does tend to be
20:31a little bit of a scrum around it.
20:32Oh,
20:32no pun intended.
20:34You know,
20:34it's difficult to get up close,
20:35you know,
20:36to see them.
20:37I mean,
20:37I don't know what there is
20:38to see in Aberdeen.
20:40So,
20:40you played rugby in France,
20:41did you?
20:42At the end?
20:43That's where we met,
20:43wasn't it?
20:44Kids are almost fluent.
20:45Me,
20:46I couldn't order a cup of coffee.
20:47Well,
20:48that's not true,
20:48is it?
20:49Oh,
20:49I'd love to speak a language,
20:51mate,
20:51honestly.
20:52That would be my superpower.
20:54Would it?
20:54Oh,
20:54yeah.
20:55So,
20:55which one would you go for?
20:56I don't know.
20:58Esperanto.
21:01I did learn a little bit of Dutch
21:03when I lived in Amsterdam,
21:04but I wasn't there very long.
21:05I was living with a friend
21:08on a houseboat.
21:10Careful.
21:11You'll be making him jealous.
21:12Oh,
21:13I'd love to live in Amsterdam.
21:15I remember reading an article
21:16in a magazine about them,
21:17you know,
21:17the big canal houses.
21:18Oh,
21:18yeah.
21:19Rich merchants used to live in them.
21:20Right.
21:21Very me.
21:22So,
21:22me lad,
21:23though,
21:23he's going to storm his GCSE,
21:25isn't he,
21:25if he already speaks French?
21:27Well,
21:27I don't know.
21:28The grammar used to mash my Swede.
21:30Oh,
21:30I get by on body language alone
21:33when I'm travelling there,
21:34and just like a little
21:34nonchalant shoulder shrugger,
21:36or kiss at a waiter.
21:37Again?
21:39Jealous?
21:40Yeah.
21:40Stop it,
21:41you'll embarrass him.
21:42You get to a certain age,
21:43an undertaker is quite the catch.
21:46Just knowing that everything
21:48will be taken care of
21:49when you're gone.
21:50Well,
21:50yeah,
21:51that is that.
21:52Oh,
21:53there we are.
21:53Ben!
21:57Where is he?
21:57He wasn't there.
21:59What?
22:00And he hasn't answered
22:00any of my tax.
22:17And are you sure
22:18you were at Victoria?
22:19He said his train
22:19came in at three.
22:21Well,
22:21maybe he was running late.
22:22How long did you wait?
22:23His train was on time.
22:24I waited for like 20 minutes.
22:25Maybe he'd be on the next one.
22:27Might have stayed in Hull.
22:28All he had to do
22:29was get off the coach,
22:30walk to the train station
22:31and get on a train to Manchester.
22:32Five-year-old could do it.
22:34Maybe not a five-year-old.
22:35All right,
22:35a six-year-old then.
22:36Why would he stay in Hull?
22:38Because he didn't want to move
22:39and we all know it.
22:41I'm glad you've been okay.
22:49I have been.
22:51But I would have said that
22:52even if I hadn't.
22:56Mummy, I'm so sorry.
22:57Dad.
22:58Hey, I'm sorry.
23:00No, you haven't got anything
23:00to apologise for.
23:03And the sooner you're back
23:05on your feet,
23:05the better you've got
23:06like a new job,
23:07a new outlook.
23:08Look, I don't know him.
23:09Look, I think I need
23:13more time off.
23:14Okay.
23:16I don't know if I can...
23:17That's okay.
23:19We don't need to rush.
23:21Don't need to decide.
23:22Anything.
23:24We just go get you well, yeah?
23:28Right, I've just spoken
23:29to Jack's dad.
23:30He said Will get off the coach
23:31and that's as much as he knows.
23:32I've left messages with Megan.
23:34Who's Megan?
23:35William's coach.
23:36I've been on the mum chart.
23:37Nobody knows anything.
23:38I've been through it
23:39a thousand times with him.
23:40I thought he'd accepted it.
23:42What?
23:42The big move?
23:43You'll believe anything.
23:45Maybe leaving his mates,
23:47his school,
23:48his athletics team behind
23:50to chase his daddy's
23:52maths dream of owning this place
23:53wasn't such a good idea
23:55after all.
23:56All right, don't pin this on me.
23:58I am the one who drove this.
23:59I'm not pinning it on anyone.
24:02I'm just saying,
24:03there's a case to be made
24:05that with his GCSEs
24:06just around the corner,
24:08perhaps that could have been
24:10prioritised over this.
24:11It's loud and clear, Nana.
24:12He's supposed to be starting
24:13his new school tomorrow.
24:15What if he's an old show?
24:16I've got his uniform
24:16hung up upstairs.
24:18What if he's been attacked
24:19and he's lying in some back street
24:20near the station?
24:21He'll be here.
24:22Nobody likes starting a new school.
24:24Maybe that's got something
24:24to do with this.
24:25Well, Susie managed this morning
24:26and she's seven.
24:27It's easier at that age.
24:29Life's been a bed of roses
24:30for you kids.
24:31Has it?
24:32Go away.
24:32Toulouse.
24:33Hull.
24:34Let me know if I've missed
24:34anywhere out.
24:35You've led a rich and varied life
24:37in some interesting places
24:38in the world.
24:39William misses his mother, perhaps?
24:41OK, don't start.
24:42I've spoken to her.
24:43She knows nothing.
24:44And a right earful
24:45you got too, I imagine.
24:46Try ringing him again.
24:47His battery's probably dead.
24:48It's always only like 2%.
24:50We got him a portable charger.
24:51I thought he'd lost that.
24:52Yes, I know, but we replaced it.
24:53See, this is half the problem.
24:55You indulge in both of you.
24:56If it was me,
24:57he wouldn't even have a phone.
24:58When I was a girl...
25:00Oh, here we go.
25:01Never mind, here we go.
25:03I had nothing.
25:04No toys, no books, no games.
25:07I had one dress
25:08that my sisters passed down to me.
25:10My mother used to let it out
25:11at the bust once a year.
25:13We should have gone to fetch him.
25:14I knew this was going to happen.
25:15Did you?
25:15I wish she'd have told me.
25:18Well, she was goading you.
25:20She likes to be in control,
25:21but now she isn't anymore.
25:22And she's jealous
25:22on top of everything else.
25:23She bought you that top.
25:26And she bought me these earrings.
25:27And she might have even bought
25:29the socks that I'm wearing
25:29as a birthday present.
25:30But the point is, Carla,
25:31I was married to her for years.
25:33Has she booked a flight yet?
25:35I don't know.
25:36You're the one that sprue to her mask.
25:36She needs to go.
25:38And she will.
25:39I don't think she's got any intention of it.
25:41Well, she's going to have to stay in Betis' life,
25:43isn't she?
25:43But all this interference,
25:45it won't last.
25:46She's come back from the dead
25:48to reclaim you, Lisa.
25:49It's like living in a blooming thriller video.
25:51I promise you she'll be gone.
25:53Well, then you need to tell her that.
25:55OK?
25:56Once and for all.
25:57I think it's a bit strange
26:09that they moved
26:11while their kid was on a trip.
26:14Probably a range months ago.
26:16You know how long it can take
26:17to exchange contracts.
26:19Well, that was rented.
26:20How long have those two been married?
26:26They still look so in love.
26:28They're not married.
26:29They're not even a couple yet.
26:31There's a puzzle.
26:32Oh, she likes money.
26:34Who doesn't?
26:35Especially other people's.
26:37Has he got loads of it?
26:38No.
26:40What's the problem, then?
26:42Mayday.
26:42Mayday.
26:43Is it him?
26:44It's Wildy.
26:45Who?
26:45Rob Wild, Will's mate.
26:47What's he saying?
26:48He says they dropped him up at the station.
26:50His parents picked them up
26:52when the coach arrived back.
26:53Says he reckons Will
26:54has plenty of time before the train.
26:56How's he got lost
26:57between Hull and Manchester?
26:59Oh, he must have missed it.
27:00Well, he did that
27:01or he's gotten the wrong one.
27:02Remember that time
27:03he ended up in Redcar
27:03instead of Middlesbrough
27:04for the Tees Valley Games?
27:07If you want my opinion,
27:08he's up to something.
27:09I reckon he never got on that train
27:11or any other train.
27:12He's making a protest.
27:13Well, he needs to stop
27:14playing silly beggars.
27:15Does he think we've got time for this?
27:16I'm not moving to Manchester.
27:18That's a direct quote.
27:20Well, he can't stay in Hull.
27:20He's 15.
27:21Unless aliens abducted him at Leeds.
27:23Shall we check to see
27:24if there's been any UFO sightings
27:25in West Yorkshire?
27:28Hey.
27:30Hey, first things first.
27:31All right.
27:32You win.
27:33Really bad timing, David.
27:35Take that off.
27:36Yeah.
27:37I do what he says
27:38before you get hurt.
27:39Is he one of these blokes
27:41who can dish it out
27:42but can't take it?
27:42Dad can take a joke.
27:43It's not right now.
27:44How come?
27:45Yeah, all right, all right.
27:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:47It's coming off.
27:47It's coming off, all right?
27:48It's just goofing around, you know?
27:50It's just didn't make any harm.
27:53Everything all right?
27:54No jobs?
28:06Nope.
28:07Nothing for a while.
28:09Oh, that's odd.
28:10Well, maybe people are
28:12walking to the hospital
28:13or taking buses or whatever.
28:15Also, no jobs since half past two?
28:17It's only been three hours.
28:19Only have you had any missed calls.
28:21You've not dipped outside
28:22for a fag, have you?
28:23I don't smoke.
28:24Hmm.
28:26Something's not right.
28:33What's going on with you, Bear?
28:35I thought you'd kissed her.
28:36Shh.
28:39Once.
28:41Why don't you give it a shot?
28:43What's the worst thing
28:44that could happen?
28:46You've changed the tune.
28:47I'd rather you were on your own.
28:49I might get hurt.
28:56Forget about her, Emily.
28:58This isn't that.
29:00And I just have a bit of fun.
29:02You've always been too buttoned up,
29:04too cautious.
29:07Enjoy yourself.
29:10Georgie.
29:12Georgie.
29:12Yeah, if I'd known.
29:15Let's forget about it, mate.
29:17And he promises never to ping you again,
29:18so we are even.
29:20This is our William.
29:22Yeah, certainly keep us on his toes,
29:24don't they?
29:25I heard about your Max.
29:27Yeah, don't come to me
29:28for parenting advice.
29:29What happened?
29:31It's a long story,
29:32but if you send me that picture,
29:34I'll stick it on the street chat
29:36and I'll tell everybody
29:37to keep an eye out for him.
29:38Can you add us to the group?
29:40Yeah, I can do,
29:41but your phone won't stop pinking.
29:43Buzzing.
29:45It's Dev.
29:45He's the main culprit.
29:46Number seven.
29:47I don't know if you've met him,
29:48but he's always on there,
29:49you know.
29:51Buy one, get one free,
29:53or, you know,
29:54it's just forever.
29:55But I'll see you.
29:56Bye.
30:00Listen.
30:03Yeah?
30:05About me and you.
30:07Oh, dear God.
30:10And in a public bar.
30:12Fasten your seatbelt,
30:13Georgie boy.
30:18Five tummy chucks.
30:20Yeah.
30:21Have you not got any of my messages?
30:23What messages?
30:24I sent you five texts.
30:25Oh.
30:28So you have?
30:29Too busy reading that
30:30flipping magazine.
30:31Well, look at this, Tim.
30:32This woman here,
30:33she's had five tummy tucks.
30:34Look.
30:38I won't plug this.
30:42Tracy.
30:43What was she doing here?
30:44She was kicking off
30:45about some wine
30:46I bought for her dad.
30:47She's a spiteful cow.
30:48Well, that's a red car.
30:49Straight away,
30:50you should have been paying attention.
30:51You know what she's like.
30:52I did think it was quiet.
30:53Quiet?
30:54There's a difference between quiet and dead.
30:54If you aren't dead,
30:55go down the road to Shuttleworth's.
30:56I thought it was money for Old Rock.
30:58You know what?
30:59This is all Steve's fault, this.
31:01How's it Steve's fault?
31:03Because he's over there
31:04drinking sangria
31:05and he's left me holding the...
31:06Cable.
31:07I mean, he is helping his brother.
31:08Yeah, who owns a bar
31:10that never shuts.
31:11I thought you might be
31:12a little bit more on it.
31:12I was on it.
31:14I mean, I am on it.
31:16Anyways, Tracy,
31:17you should be taking this up with.
31:18Not me.
31:19She's dead jealous of me
31:20and everyone knows it.
31:22A dad likes me.
31:23A husband likes me.
31:24Estranged.
31:26And even a daughter likes me.
31:28She just can't handle it.
31:29Yeah, well, she's a very difficult woman.
31:32Will you talk to her?
31:34Me?
31:35I mean, he's not here
31:37and you are his mate.
31:39Well, that doesn't mean to say
31:39I have to do his dirty work
31:40or yours.
31:43You're scared of her?
31:44Well, I mean,
31:45because, like,
31:45she's harmless
31:46these days.
31:48I reckon you're scared.
31:51All right.
31:53I'll talk to her.
31:54Yeah?
31:54Yeah, thank you, Tim.
31:56Now, what are you doing
31:57standing old and that for?
31:58Plug it in.
32:02Don't push me away,
32:03I'm begging you.
32:05It's been hell.
32:07You were the light
32:07at the end of the tunnel.
32:09We can make it work.
32:11It's too late.
32:12I don't like her.
32:15She's all wrong for you.
32:17I don't trust her at all.
32:18It's done,
32:19so stop trying.
32:21Say it.
32:22If she wasn't around.
32:25You don't have to say it.
32:26It's enough for me
32:27just to know.
32:30Have you got to flight yet?
32:31Yeah, I'll go back to Spain.
32:32Don't panic.
32:35Good.
32:37But I presume Betsy told you.
32:39She's coming with me.
33:02I've had a think.
33:03And I do want you to do more.
33:06The day-to-day running of the place.
33:08Sweet.
33:08So I can concentrate
33:10on the finances.
33:12I told you,
33:13I can do that too.
33:14Book-ins,
33:15dinner reservations,
33:16maintenance,
33:17marketing,
33:17the website,
33:18the window cleaners.
33:19That's what I need help with.
33:22As long as it's reflected
33:23in my salary.
33:24Oh, you will be
33:25generously compensated.
33:28I really was more than happy
33:30to look after it all.
33:31And that's the one thing
33:32I've still got a grip on.
33:34If I let go of that,
33:36my brain goes with it.
33:38She denies it.
33:47Tracy?
33:47Yeah.
33:48She said that she caught you
33:49with your feet up reading
33:50chit-chat.
33:50So what do you do
33:53when the phones aren't ringing?
33:56Admin,
33:57usually.
33:57They'll just show me
33:58what needs doing
33:59and I'll do it.
33:59Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
34:01Best leave that to me and Steve.
34:03Okay,
34:03so what am I meant to do
34:05when there's no calls coming in?
34:06You can tidy up a little bit.
34:09It's funny that.
34:10Because every time
34:11I come round that door,
34:12you and him are
34:13with her in a way
34:13like a pair of old washerwomen.
34:15No way strategising.
34:16I should have known
34:19if the state had gone quiet
34:20and I should have known
34:21she'd done something
34:22the way flies on me.
34:24Well, it wasn't really
34:25your responsibility
34:26and I shouldn't have
34:27had a go at you.
34:28I appreciate that.
34:29We just don't really want
34:30customers going elsewhere,
34:31you know?
34:32New habits form quickly.
34:34What is it Steve always says?
34:35This is a rapidly
34:37expanding market
34:38and it might look like
34:39we're sitting around
34:39drinking tea and eating biscuits
34:41talking about last night's match.
34:42It does look like that.
34:43But we are an essential part
34:45of Manchester's
34:45increasingly competitive
34:47transportation infrastructure.
34:49You took the words
34:49right out of my mouth.
34:51Have you finished now?
34:52Don't let it ring
34:53more than twice.
34:57Hello, streetcars.
34:59Brexit doesn't matter for me.
35:00Well, you have a false identity
35:01but it would matter for her.
35:03Well, there's ways
35:03round everything.
35:04You do know you'd have to
35:05come back after 90 days,
35:06don't you?
35:07We'd apply for a visa.
35:08On what grounds?
35:10I'd get a waitressing job.
35:11Well, you struggled
35:11to even boil the kettle, Betsy.
35:13I'd make sure she was safe
35:15if she stayed longer.
35:16And you really think
35:17that this is the best way
35:18forward for an 18-year-old kid
35:19who has a whole future
35:20ahead of her, hmm?
35:22Dodging the system in Spain.
35:23It might be exciting.
35:25Being detained
35:25by passport control.
35:26Yeah.
35:27Yeah, that's loads of fun.
35:29Maybe this is what
35:29she's so keen to get away from,
35:31being patronised
35:32and condescended to.
35:33We'll take her.
35:34Be my guest.
35:36See how you get on together.
35:37I wish you both
35:37the very best of luck.
35:38I hate it
35:39when you get like this.
35:40I always used to hate it.
35:42Get like what?
35:43Rational.
35:45Unlike you,
35:46I still live in the real world.
35:47And I'm not invisible
35:48and nor is she.
35:50We can't all have
35:51government-sponsored
35:52false identities
35:53and lavish villas.
35:54Look, you wouldn't need one.
35:55We'd have mine.
35:56It's not that lavish.
35:57Look,
35:58if you don't want her
35:59to stay with me forever,
36:00let her come for 90 days.
36:02Well, nothing's stopping her.
36:04Knock yourselves out.
36:05We should let mum
36:06absorb this properly.
36:07Mm-hmm.
36:08With a calm head.
36:12See you, too.
36:13Love you.
36:14You, too.
36:17We could all go.
36:19Carla, too.
36:21Yeah, yeah.
36:22Great idea.
36:23And then after the 90 days is up,
36:24we could live under the radar.
36:27Hide in a cave, maybe.
36:29Give up our jobs,
36:31our home,
36:32our cars.
36:33Yeah, she was right.
36:35You are a nightmare
36:36when you get like this.
36:38You would have to trade
36:39everything for the life
36:40that she's promising, you know.
36:41With a fake identity.
36:42You would be as good
36:44as on the run.
36:44I'd get a visa.
36:45They don't just hand them out
36:46like confetti.
36:48No, I'm sorry, Betsy.
36:50We can't all move to Spain.
36:52Life just doesn't work like that
36:53and Brexit most certainly doesn't.
36:55Not to mention your mum's
36:56quote-unquote situation.
36:58This whole thing,
37:00it's just a pipe dream.
37:03Why do people say
37:04quote-unquote?
37:05Darling, I don't mean
37:07to upset you, you know.
37:12If those things
37:15weren't in the way,
37:18would you come with us?
37:24And leave us one
37:25big happy family?
37:26Carla too?
37:29No.
37:32No, Betsy.
37:33I'm afraid that
37:36wouldn't be for me.
37:41Thank goodness for that.
37:43What have we done with it
37:43kicking off on top
37:44of everything else?
37:45This street child thing's
37:47a nightmare.
37:48Why does every single person
37:49feel the need
37:50to say welcome?
37:51It's just been nice.
37:53Who's Rita?
37:54Well, I'm glad to hear
37:55that she's doing all right.
37:56Yeah, baby steps, please.
37:58Yes, gents?
37:58Oh, any word on your boy?
38:00No, not yet.
38:01They've got their head
38:01up the back sides
38:02of that age, haven't they?
38:03Brandy, please, and Tim?
38:04A yellow, a pint.
38:06This Gail one
38:07is a nuisance and all.
38:08Which one is she?
38:09Well, actually,
38:10she's moved to France,
38:11irony of all ironies.
38:12Then she has no business
38:13being on this forum
38:14and I shall tell her so.
38:16I'm going to hang that
38:17up out the back
38:18so there's no more mishaps.
38:19It's such a shame, though.
38:21Well, I've asked
38:21one of our drivers
38:22to have a bit of a moot
38:22around Victoria.
38:23Oh, thanks, love.
38:24Where are you going?
38:25Hull.
38:26Now?
38:27Yeah, that way we've got
38:28all bases covered.
38:29Let all his mates
38:30and their parents know
38:30I'm coming.
38:31If he's there,
38:31we'll flush him out.
38:32Well, if he is there,
38:33don't go too hard on him, please.
38:34I'll go and feed Susie
38:36lest she starve to death.
38:37No, I've put her
38:38in the back room.
38:38She's watching telly
38:39with a bag of crisps.
38:40Crisps?
38:42A nutritious meal
38:43for a child.
38:45Good luck, anyway.
38:46Thanks for your help, Kirk.
38:47I won't forget it, mate.
38:48At least we can do.
38:49Kirk, who's he calling Kirk?
38:50No, I'm sorry.
38:51He's still finding his fees.
38:53Kirk, Kirk.
38:56Did you see Grandad
38:57before he went to bed?
38:58Oh, yeah.
38:58He was dead chuffed
38:59with his wine.
39:00Couldn't see through it.
39:02Nothing to see through.
39:04Messed up.
39:05Made amends.
39:05That's how life works, baby.
39:07Oh, yeah.
39:08Just as simple as that,
39:09isn't it?
39:10Like when you killed
39:11Kal Nazir?
39:12Has he?
39:13No, I did not.
39:15Do you know,
39:15on that occasion, though,
39:17I don't suppose
39:18a box of wine
39:18for his mother
39:19had cut it?
39:20I had nothing to do
39:20with that fire.
39:22It was an accident
39:23and a tragedy.
39:24Right, that's me.
39:25Only 17 more pages
39:27to go.
39:28What's it about?
39:29Just like spies.
39:30What can I read
39:31after you?
39:32I have never
39:33seen you
39:34with a book
39:34in your hand.
39:35I have never
39:36seen you
39:37with a saucepan
39:37in your hand.
39:39But I bet
39:39you've made
39:39the odd meal.
39:40Night.
39:41Night, babe.
39:42Good night.
39:42Oh, by the way,
39:43what colour is it
39:44for the bins tonight?
39:45Brown.
39:46Blue.
39:47Right.
39:49I'll be doing it, then.
39:50Vile, poisonous creature.
39:53Trying to curry favour
39:54with my daughter now.
39:55I've never seen you
39:56with a book
39:57or a saucepan.
39:58But I've heard
39:59you're a dab hand
39:59with an ornament.
40:01Was that an accident
40:02as well?
40:03If you want your head
40:04stoving in,
40:05you're going the right
40:06way about it.
40:07I know you want
40:07Stevie back.
40:08It's just not
40:09going to happen, love.
40:10Oh, please.
40:11I wouldn't take him
40:12back if he begged me.
40:13I can barely
40:14stand the sight of you.
40:15He's only knocking you
40:16off to try and make
40:16me jealous.
40:18Working there,
40:19isn't he?
40:19Eh?
40:21Listen.
40:22This is my mother's house.
40:24I grew up here
40:25and you are not welcome.
40:28The boys say otherwise,
40:29but thank you
40:30for your input, Tracy.
40:32You're so stupid.
40:33You didn't even realise
40:34her phone was unplugged.
40:38Do you know,
40:38if I was you,
40:39I'd keep an eye
40:42on those bouquets
40:42you keep in front
40:43of the shop.
40:45Because you wouldn't
40:45want anyone
40:46snipping their heads off
40:47while you're not looking,
40:48would you?
40:48Yeah.
40:50Try it.
40:54And then she stormed
40:55off up the stairs.
40:56I like the bit
40:57about the cave.
40:58It's true though,
40:59isn't it?
41:00Three mums in a cave
41:01with an 18-year-old waitress
41:02all on the run
41:03in Spain.
41:04Not a bad premise
41:04for a sitcom, that.
41:06Kind of like a woke twist
41:07on the Flintstones.
41:07Uh-oh.
41:11Auntie Collar isn't laughing.
41:13They got Becky
41:13a villa.
41:14I mean,
41:15what's to say,
41:16they're not going to get
41:16Betsy a visa.
41:17None of this is laughable,
41:18is it?
41:18No, I'm all for
41:19having an adventure,
41:20you know,
41:20living abroad and travelling,
41:22but preferably
41:23with mates her own age.
41:24Yeah, well,
41:24it will be an adventure,
41:26especially compared to
41:26rainy old Weatherfield.
41:28Maybe I should live with Becky.
41:30I loved it when I was out there,
41:31mate.
41:31I mean,
41:32Spanish isn't that bad.
41:32Oh, great.
41:33I'll just be left on me own.
41:35You really think I'll go?
41:37I don't know.
41:39What,
41:39and transfers
41:40with the Spanish police force?
41:42Not sure I'd get by
41:42on dos,
41:43the vases por favor.
41:44You'd pick it up.
41:46Plus there's Interpol.
41:47Anyway,
41:47it doesn't really rain
41:48that much in Manchester,
41:49it's just a myth.
41:50Geographical reality.
41:53Yeah,
41:53on a serious note,
41:54though,
41:54it used to say
41:54they couldn't cope.
41:56Obstacles aside.
41:57I mean,
41:58Alicante's
41:59a beautiful place.
42:01And you've got Valencia
42:02just up the road,
42:02and there's a city.
42:03If Betsy gets a glimpse
42:06of it out there,
42:06she isn't going to come back.
42:08I wouldn't.
42:15Any word?
42:17Ben's in Hull now
42:18looking around,
42:18but there's no word yet.
42:20It's quarter to midnight.
42:21I know.
42:22I've got Glenda locking up.
42:24Did you call the police?
42:25Yeah,
42:26I just,
42:26I got all flustered
42:27when Ed's given his description.
42:29Did you tell them
42:30it's happened before?
42:31Yeah.
42:32That copper
42:33that was in last night,
42:35you could ask
42:35if she could help.
42:37Maggie,
42:37what if he's had an accident?
42:39He'll turn up.
42:41But when he does,
42:42he needs to understand
42:43what he's put you through.
42:45And you need to understand
42:47what you've put him through.
42:49He'll be loving this.
42:51Idiot needs to grow up.
42:54Is this his school bag?
42:55Yeah.
42:56You going through his stuff?
42:57I think she thinks
42:57she's going to find
42:58a secret diary or something.
42:59I have yet to hear
43:00a better idea.
43:02I suppose you don't care
43:03as much if it's not
43:04your own flesh and blood?
43:05She cares.
43:06Well, look,
43:07something's happened to him
43:08and we're not going to know
43:08what until the police
43:09get the finger out.
43:10Just don't press
43:11the panic button.
