00:26I'll give you 60 quid if you can spell quinoa.
00:28I'll give you 80 quid if you leave quinoa off the menu.
00:31Done.
00:32Did Megan say what time she's dropping him back?
00:34Well, he's already missed his morning lessons, Chad.
00:37Did you phone the school? I bet you they weren't impressed.
00:40Well, they need to be grateful to have got an elite athlete on their hands.
00:43Ah, good afternoon.
00:45Is it lunchtime already?
00:47Some of us work proper hours, you know.
00:49Since waking up at 10 o'clock, I literally have not stopped.
00:52Oh, what a hard time.
00:54Whereas me, I've only, you know, had breakfast with a barrister and proofread three contracts as big as you are.
00:59Did you spell quinoa?
01:00No.
01:01Oh, there you go. He's not far off.
01:03He always says that. Then he doesn't turn up for two hours.
01:05He reads the time in slow motion.
01:07Hiya. Sorry I'm late.
01:09Are we not due in till tonight?
01:11Hiya.
01:12Oh, hi Didi.
01:13I asked her to come in for lunchtime.
01:15Why didn't you tell me?
01:16Did I need to?
01:18S-sorry. I'll just go.
01:21No, no. You do no such thing.
01:23Yes, you need to tell me if you're going to change the rota for no good reason when it's not your job to do so.
01:28I was a young mother once. It's not easy. We can't run this place. Unpity.
01:34Honestly, it's fine. I could just come back.
01:36Fish on the menu.
01:37And how's that?
01:38Thinking I'd take the box.
01:39Cod. No chips like they serve it in Spain. That way people keep drinking. Could even call it bacalao.
01:44I think people might find that overly poncy. Like a cocktail nice.
01:49Fine. I'll do fish and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce. Anything else? Burger? Scampi? Chicken tikka masala?
01:57Just remember us in the north-west of England. Not downtown Madrid.
02:02What do you feel about oysters?
02:03Oh, for the love of God.
02:05Am I staying or going?
02:06Q-U-I-N-O-A.
02:09Excelente.
02:10Look, you might as well stay now you're here.
02:12I'm sure we need something lovely for the ponters to look at.
02:23It's not. It's too risky.
02:25When can I see you again?
02:27Soon.
02:28Tomorrow?
02:29Maybe the day after. Get the tramartsbury. I'll pick you up.
02:33What case?
02:35Oh, stop it!
02:37Last night was so hot.
02:39I'll find somewhere.
02:41We'll get a room out in Berry. Or Rochdale.
02:45Yeah.
02:46Yeah, we can go and see another film. Get back to eat.
02:49It was so easy to fool them.
02:51I'll just tell them I'm staying at my mate's house.
02:54One kiss.
02:55Wind your window down. Wind it down.
03:04Sorry, love. I need to bring my ears round in a minute. You're going to be blocking us in.
03:07Sorry, no worries.
03:09You're the young lad from the pub, aren't you?
03:12Yeah.
03:13I'm his running coach.
03:15Oh.
03:16Do you know, I always liked Steve Ovette.
03:19Not that I didn't like Steve Cram.
03:21I expect you'll be keeping an eye on your Olympics, won't you?
03:24We're the old in the next one.
03:25L.A.
03:26L.A.
03:27Wow.
03:28You know, I was a triple jumper at school.
03:30Yeah.
03:31That's what they put me down for one sports day.
03:32Hop, step and jump, we called it then.
03:34Yeah.
03:35Speaking of which, I might need to get going.
03:37Yeah.
03:38Right.
03:39Yes, no, I shall leave you to it.
03:40And if you wouldn't mind.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Sorry.
03:43This is madness.
03:48What?
03:49Very safer.
03:50If that front desk was manned last night, they'd have stopped us.
03:54But they didn't.
03:55Names, dates of birth.
03:56I booked a single occupancy.
03:59Well, just get a double next time.
04:04Should we stop?
04:06What?
04:07Don't do this.
04:08You'll meet someone your own age at school.
04:11Because of that?
04:12He didn't notice anything.
04:13There's 300 miles between us now, so...
04:15104.
04:16That's two hours and 13 minutes.
04:18No, no, it's too dangerous.
04:19With someone your own age, Will, you won't have to sneak about.
04:21Don't I like you doing this for me?
04:28Will, I will always, always love you.
04:32Oh, so do I end it then?
04:33What?
04:34Am I ending it?
04:35I don't know.
04:36I mean...
04:37Maybe it's for the best.
04:40I thought we were in this together.
04:41We are.
04:42We are.
04:43We're...
04:44Well, what happened to your plan?
04:49Will.
04:50Will!
04:56That was perfect.
04:57What was it in aid of?
04:58Oh, well.
04:59Carla's done with me, so...
05:00Thought I'd make myself useful at home.
05:02Hey!
05:03You know, we could work it off if you're in no rush to get back.
05:06I can't.
05:07George is cracking the whip.
05:09Big day tomorrow.
05:10We're burying a local dignitary.
05:12Councillor Drake.
05:1352 years of service on and off.
05:15Plus, I've got to get the tyres checked on the hearse.
05:19And Kevin's not opened.
05:20Oh, right.
05:21Lucky you, eh?
05:22Being gainfully employed.
05:23Oh, don't worry about me, eh?
05:26Could you not have done this?
05:28Oh, yes, sir.
05:29I was about to.
05:30Oh, did he say anything to Brodie about Lou?
05:31No.
05:32Unless he's quick to get the upshot, we might not need to.
05:33Is he in?
05:34Oh, what's up?
05:35Oh, here he is, Chief Brodie.
05:36Who is Chief Brodie, anyway?
05:37He's from Jaws.
05:38What?
05:39Do you know, he was supposed to vacuum and you were supposed to do the dishes.
05:44Joanie's gonna be here in an hour.
05:45What's the social worker gonna do?
05:46I don't know.
05:47I don't know.
05:48I don't know.
05:49I don't know.
05:50I don't know.
05:51I don't know.
05:52I don't know.
05:53I don't know.
05:54I don't know.
05:55I don't know.
05:56I don't know.
05:57I don't know.
05:58I don't know.
05:59What's the social worker gonna think?
06:00Oh, it's spotless.
06:01Yeah, it's always spotless.
06:03Yeah, only because I keep on top of it.
06:05I could literally eat my dinner off the floor.
06:08And what, there's like two cups in the sink?
06:13What's so gripping on that thing?
06:15Hmm?
06:16Oh, erm, erm, it's tomorrow's team news.
06:19Braithwaite's suspended, so I've got Cunningham and go.
06:28Oh, you're up at least.
06:29I've been up hours.
06:31I heard you nearly lost your car last night.
06:33You should've joined us.
06:35Lucky Sal's a good sport, innit?
06:38How's this?
06:39Yeah.
06:40Yeah, we're getting there, I think.
06:42So, is that it?
06:44No, that's not it.
06:45I've come to tell you I'm coming back to work.
06:47Isn't that a steak?
06:49Kev, there's other things I can do, you know, like office stuff and that.
06:52Knock yourself out.
06:54Well, why aren't we open?
06:55What's the point?
06:56Well, look, hot pot's staying, they'll be upright if I get rid of that.
07:01Dad's got me designing a new menu and the barman's sticking hot pot in the microwave.
07:05Well, you said you liked it.
07:07Eh, Fez.
07:08It's got to be better than oysters.
07:09What?
07:10What noise annoys a noyster?
07:12You remember this one?
07:13A noisy noise annoys a noyster.
07:15Isn't that lovely?
07:17Oh, hello.
07:18Finally.
07:19Did Megan drop you?
07:20What?
07:21She don't want to come in and say hello?
07:23She was in a rush.
07:24Will, where you going?
07:25You've got school.
07:26Is he joking me?
07:27I'll translate.
07:29Yesterday went badly.
07:30He didn't qualify for any finals and whoever this girl is back in Hull.
07:34Staffily over.
07:35Oh.
07:37I'll have to speak to him.
07:39Don't bother yourself.
07:40I'll get to the bottom of this.
07:41What?
07:42I thought you were getting a shower?
07:43You said the brew was ready.
07:44Well, I've just spoken to George.
07:45He's taking the hearse to Mal Bingham on Crimea Street.
07:47Well, one day off won't kill me.
07:48One?
07:49We're not busy.
07:50Well, we're not going to be busy at all at this rate, are we?
07:51There should be three of us over there.
07:52Four.
07:53Yeah, but there isn't, is there?
07:54And until I'm back on my feet, your last man's standing, my kids are literally relying
07:56on you.
07:57Oh, guilt trip.
07:58Yes, guilt trip.
07:59If that's what it takes.
08:00You're getting your sick pay.
08:01And I tell you everyday how grateful I am.
08:02Practically wiping us out.
08:03Why did you get rid of Brodie then?
08:04He seemed keen.
08:05Who's clueless?
08:06I'm clueless.
08:07Who does that?
08:08All of those.
08:09Dude.
08:10And he's talking to me.
08:11He's taking the hearse to Mal Bingham on Crimea Street.
08:12Well, one day off won't kill me.
08:13One?
08:14We're not busy.
08:15Well, we're not going to be busy at all at this rate, are we?
08:18There should be three of us over there.
08:19Four.
08:20Yeah, but there isn't, is it?
08:21And until I'm back on my feet, your last man standing, my kids are literally relying on you.
08:26Oh, guilt trip.
08:28And who's got time to train him up?
08:31What did Sally and Tim have to say about that?
08:33It's none of their business.
08:35Right, well, I know all these jobs to do over there.
08:36I know that for a fact there's the timing bot on the Fiat,
08:39there's the bumper on the Super.
08:40They can wait.
08:41People need the cars back, Kev, so they can get on with their lives.
08:44I'm not in the mood!
08:45You might not be in the mood now, but get a shower,
08:47get the shutters open over there, get the radio on,
08:49you're going to start to feel like your normal self again.
08:51Oh, that's easy for you to see.
08:53Sitting in that thing, barking out orders.
08:55Well, you wouldn't exactly say I'm barking out orders, would you?
09:03Has the load been in touch?
09:04No, not since the other day. Useless.
09:08Look, until I'm out of this mess, I can't do any proper work.
09:10You know that.
09:11Oh, just get out, will you?
09:12So just meet me halfway.
09:13Oh, see to that bumper yourself if it's that urgent.
09:16I'm going back to bed.
09:22Oh!
09:22How far away is that?
09:24104 miles, 2 hours, 13 minutes.
09:29Hey, do you know the dress schools there from home?
09:31I was dropping one of them off.
09:33Will, their middle child.
09:34Oh, yeah, the runner!
09:36Hey, I want him to pal up with my stepson, Josie.
09:40He goes to Oak Hill.
09:41It's a private school.
09:43I work in the pub and all.
09:44Hey, do you know what I was saying to my husband last night?
09:46I've got a stepdad, stepson, stepbrother, stepsister.
09:50Do you know what the only thing I haven't got is?
09:52A stepladder?
09:54Yeah.
09:55How did you know?
09:57Lucky guess.
09:59Oh, you're dead smart, you.
10:00I bet you see all the punchlines coming.
10:02Ah, not everyone.
10:04Nice talking to you.
10:05Yeah, take care.
10:17Megan!
10:17Thanks for bringing them all this way.
10:39No worries.
10:40How was he?
10:43Eva said he was down on himself.
10:45Came home with a face like thunder and then stormed off again.
10:48Well, it was a mixed air.
10:50He's inherited your high standards, for better or for worse.
10:53We couldn't find his results online.
10:57I don't think they uploaded him for some reason.
11:00He'll miss you.
11:01Ah, coach is a ten a penny.
11:03Yeah, well, turns out they're not.
11:05I'll find someone else.
11:08No, no, no, no.
11:09Back for the money.
11:09No, really, put it away.
11:11Take it.
11:12No.
11:12I'll stand here all day.
11:15Listen, has he said anything to you?
11:20About what?
11:21Well, I know he trusts you.
11:23He doesn't open up to us.
11:25About the move.
11:26About this girl, if there is one.
11:28Er, no.
11:29No, he hasn't said anything to me.
11:32Everything's all top secret at that age, isn't it?
11:35Drawbridge is up.
11:37Mind you, I'd met Eva before I even mentioned girls to my man.
11:40I wish I hadn't.
11:41Er, I'd better get going before a shower.
11:45That's not much.
11:47Just want to have a bite to eat before you set off.
11:50I, I, I, really, I can't.
11:51I'll get Ollie to whip something up for you.
11:53He wants to put oysters on the menu.
11:54No, I just, I don't have time.
11:55Megan, ten minutes just to say thanks for everything you've done.
11:57Come on.
11:58Who's it?
12:03Lauren.
12:04Oh, hiya, Lauren.
12:05I like your hair.
12:06Oh, thanks.
12:07What are you doing carrying that down steps?
12:09What?
12:10It'd be left on that landing until Christmas if it were up to you.
12:13You're joking?
12:13I do plenty of washing.
12:14Me and that machine, we're inseparable.
12:16All right, chill out, you two.
12:17You shouldn't be carrying anything heavier than a spatula.
12:19Oh, how can we do you four, love?
12:22Well, I've got a bag of Frankie's old clothes.
12:24I've got to see if you wanted them.
12:25Oh, that's so sweet.
12:26Isn't that sweet, David?
12:27Yeah, sweet.
12:29Well, I haven't got them with me now
12:30because I know some people are superstitious about all that.
12:32Oh, not me.
12:33What, even about accepting stuff before a baby's born?
12:36No, it winds me up, then,
12:37when people say baby rather than the baby.
12:40Oh, shut up, David.
12:41You're being rude.
12:41We would love to have them.
12:42Thanks, love.
12:43Okay.
12:44Well, there's different colours in there for you.
12:46You won't know if you're having a boy or a girl yet, so...
12:48No.
12:49We're having a girl.
12:50Wow.
12:50Oh, yeah, he is the superstitious type.
12:53Right.
12:54Well, I best get Adel anyway,
12:56but I'll drop him off on my second break, yeah?
12:58Oh, Ben's giving out second breaks now, is he?
13:01Look, David, I know that he pinged you,
13:04but he's dead sound.
13:05So's Eva.
13:06The hola.
13:07Well, I'm not surprised to hear that.
13:08She's a good mate of mine.
13:09Bob back later anyway.
13:10We'll be in.
13:11All right.
13:11I'll see you.
13:12All right.
13:15See you later.
13:18Thanks, Robin.
13:20So we're telling strangers that it's a girl now?
13:25Lauren isn't a stranger.
13:26Well, she's not family.
13:27Well, she nearly was.
13:29We haven't finished discussing what we're going to do.
13:31Yes, we have.
13:33Shona, don't pretend like this isn't happening.
13:35Yes, Mrs Drake.
13:42No, Mrs Drake.
13:44No, you are absolutely right.
13:46He will be looking like a film star by the time I finish with him.
13:49Yep.
13:49Okay.
13:51Bye-bye, Mrs Drake.
13:52A short lunch, I said.
13:54A short lunch.
13:56There's a few press-ups afterwards.
13:58I hope you're being euphemistic.
13:59Well, neither do I care.
14:01Tomorrow is the closest that this town gets to a state funeral.
14:05The mayor himself's going to be in attendance.
14:07Now, see to them tyres,
14:09pick up me good jacket,
14:10and polish Council of Drake's coffin wood and brass.
14:13You know, this phone hasn't stopped ringing off its flipping cradle.
14:15Everything's in hand, George.
14:17What do we say?
14:19Oh, no, not today, Todd.
14:20Come on, George.
14:21What do we say?
14:23Is it a bird?
14:25Is it a plane?
14:27No, it's super, Todd.
14:29It is indeed.
14:34How big is it?
14:36A small block of flats, eight units.
14:38It's those nice ones around the back of Freshco's.
14:41You know, where the blossom falls on the pavement.
14:43And did you approach Pete, or did he contact you?
14:46No, he messaged me yesterday.
14:47I'm just glad I'm not scoping things.
14:49Yeah, well, work's work, innit?
14:51You got much on?
14:53Oh, mate.
14:53It's embarrassing.
14:55Well, surely you got one or two back on side.
14:56Every builder in town,
14:58every property developer,
14:59dropped me like a stone.
15:00I mean, Carla can't offer me some scraps,
15:02but that's all we know.
15:03You know, fixing leaky taps
15:04and folding cardboard under the table, mate.
15:06Well, maybe she liked having you around.
15:08Like a Diet Coke ad.
15:10Telling you, mate,
15:11if things get any worse,
15:12I'm going to have to sell the scaffolding off.
15:14No, mate, you sat on a goldmine there.
15:16That big Meccano set.
15:18Yeah, and then Danielle says,
15:19thank you very much.
15:20I'll have that.
15:22Right, well, before you do,
15:23I might have an idea.
15:24Yeah?
15:25Well, listen, hold that thought.
15:26Er, sweetheart.
15:27What, me?
15:32The phone.
15:33Oh, and, er,
15:35before I come back,
15:36try and find your manners, yeah?
15:37I had our Liam on a beach,
15:43don't forget.
15:44Oh, here we go.
15:45Tony Gordon, midwife.
15:47Ain't you know all about your gran
15:49when she had Gail?
15:50I know.
15:51She went into labour in pictures,
15:53watching Gone with the Wind,
15:55first time round.
15:57David.
15:58No, the midwife had to come out to her
16:00on a bicycle.
16:01They didn't think she was going to get there in time.
16:03Woolly mammoth blocking her own.
16:06Not sure about Stephen.
16:07Poor Uncle Stephen.
16:09He wasn't doing any harm in Audrey's belly.
16:12It was the only place that Oliver was safe.
16:14Poor Uncle Stephen?
16:16Shona would be all right.
16:18She's been there before.
16:19Her firstborn was no fairy tale, though.
16:21Is that really necessary?
16:23You brought up Uncle Stephen.
16:24No, I didn't.
16:25She did.
16:26You know, I tried three times.
16:28Couldn't keep any of them out of arms away
16:29for one reason or another.
16:31I've been there.
16:33Just the flip of a coin, isn't it?
16:36Yeah.
16:38Yeah, you're right.
16:40I mean, you see these people, don't you?
16:42Living in big houses,
16:43driving massive cars,
16:45got loads of kids running around on trampolines,
16:47and...
16:48I mean, what makes them so special?
16:50Luck, I guess.
16:52Yeah.
16:54Listen, just be nice to Shona.
16:56It's no picnic.
16:57She really needs your support.
16:58I think men can try and understand,
17:01but they never will, not fully.
17:06Hole?
17:07Yeah.
17:08I've never been.
17:09Right.
17:11Where's the cornflour?
17:13It's with the plain and the wholemeal.
17:15Oh, er,
17:16you might say cornflakes,
17:17erm...
17:18Pffft.
17:19I told you she should have messaged me, Sally.
17:22Erm,
17:22do you have any paprika?
17:25Yes, with the spices.
17:26Righty.
17:27Gem Stone.
17:28Get, Kat!
17:28You not in court?
17:32What?
17:33Why?
17:33What's he done now?
17:49Eva only reported you absent for this morning.
17:52Can't be doing without school.
17:54I couldn't be doing with school, either.
17:58Wasn't anything they could teach me about life
18:01that I couldn't learn in our building
18:02or on your granddaddy's farm.
18:06I'm sorry about all that.
18:08The other day.
18:09Your little binge.
18:12He seems like a nice enough fella.
18:15Liam?
18:16He's all right.
18:17They'll all be all right once you get to know them.
18:20Just be careful of those young girls
18:23slobbering all over you.
18:24They must think it's their lucky year.
18:27A young book like you joining their ranks.
18:29I'm not all that.
18:32In a couple of years,
18:34you can go back to Hull.
18:37That's if you don't get your scholarship.
18:40Imagine that.
18:42America.
18:43They don't give track and field scholarships away.
18:45At your age,
18:46no one has a clue what they want.
18:50I know what I want.
18:52And her name is?
18:56It's not that.
18:59It's just a cry in shame.
19:01Jane Mansfield was so intent on coming back here.
19:05But that's what happens when a man's head is turned.
19:09Everyone has to do what the new squeeze wants.
19:12I know you're not mad on her,
19:13but you can't blame her for everything.
19:15I do like her.
19:17It's obvious you don't.
19:17Would I have made all this possible
19:20if I didn't want them to be happy?
19:23I want you all to be happy,
19:25especially you.
19:26We know how hard it's been.
19:30But in this family,
19:32we front up.
19:34Look at what your father had to overcome.
19:37They said he'd never play again
19:38after that business with his shoulder.
19:41Us Driscoll's,
19:43we stare trouble in the face.
19:45I know.
19:47Let me tell you a secret about life.
19:52Sometimes you have to play mean.
19:55Put yourself first.
19:57Don't let anyone else win.
19:59Righto, that's the recycling done.
20:07Trisha?
20:09Yeah, I was just being nosy.
20:10I was having a look at her photos.
20:12Seeing what an ex-predator's been up to.
20:14Will you stop calling her that?
20:16She's only a few years older than me.
20:18You know who she was.
20:19I keep telling you,
20:19she worked in the local shop.
20:21They carried me aloft through the streets of Marlowe's.
20:22I did indeed, celebrating your abuse.
20:25My mum's in court today.
20:26Look, we can explain.
20:27You're treating me like Shanice.
20:29Well, we wanted to know the outcome first.
20:31I have to learn off kit.
20:32We don't want to worry you.
20:33Yeah, at least he treats me with respect.
20:35Hey!
20:37Don't you speak to us like that?
20:39Did you get the shop in?
20:40Oh, no.
20:42You should have told him straight away.
20:44It was your idea not to.
20:45Fighting with an inmate.
20:46I should have been there to support her.
20:48You guys call yourself foster parents.
20:49You're a joke!
20:50She's here!
20:51Yeah, we tried him with the lad that lives two doors down.
21:00He used to be a footballer.
21:01Will said.
21:02He showed us up.
21:04He didn't show us up.
21:05You're so hard on him.
21:06He didn't even try.
21:07I thought he was going to join a proper club.
21:10There's plenty in Manchester.
21:11The Harriers for a start.
21:12Did he tell you about the alcohol reading incident a couple of days ago?
21:15It was two cans of lager, honestly.
21:18It wasn't a big deal.
21:19Baby's three years underage.
21:21She's too soft on him.
21:22Damn right I'm too soft on him.
21:23It's me that tore his life up.
21:25I feel guilty, babe.
21:26Can't help that.
21:29I should really push off.
21:31Oh, if we haven't had your lunch.
21:32Tell Ollie I'm all right.
21:34He'll be dressing you with lobster.
21:36So this is goodbye then?
21:38I suppose it is.
21:39Oh, well, look.
21:40We're so grateful, aren't we, Ben?
21:42Honestly, the effect that you've had on Will,
21:44the positive effect.
21:46I feel like all kids need someone like you in the life.
21:49Damn right.
21:50William's hungry.
21:51Oh, kill surprise.
21:53The kid of Megan's lobster.
21:54What?
21:56Hello again.
21:57I thought you'd be the other side of Harriet's head services by now.
22:15I can't let it turn straight back round after driving all the way from Leeds.
22:18Not without wetting her whistle, at least.
22:20Do you use a whistle with him?
22:22Uh, no.
22:23Well, you should try.
22:24I thought I'd be using one to get him out of his kip in the morning.
22:26I had to use a block and tackle to get you out of the bed when you were William's age.
22:31He didn't so much sleep as hibernate, and as for the snoring.
22:35All right, well, I'm sure Megan doesn't want to worry about that.
22:38Anyway, how's he performing?
22:40No complaints from me.
22:42Really?
22:43That's not how I heard it.
22:44Good.
22:45An elite sport, coaches should be like hard taskmasters.
22:48Compliments should be as common as hands to you.
22:50But she's not my coach, though, is she?
22:52I might as well just quit.
22:54Don't say that.
22:55There'll be loads of good coaches round here.
22:57No, that's not what I want.
22:59I don't want to start with someone new.
23:00Just look what happened with James.
23:02It won't work.
23:03Listen, mate, I get it.
23:05When my first gaffer got sacked, I was devastated.
23:08He gave me my debut.
23:09I looked up to him.
23:10But change is part and parcel of sport.
23:12You'll adapt.
23:13You will.
23:14And there's fantastic facilities in Manchester.
23:16Plenty of people I can recommend.
23:17No, that's not what I want.
23:19I don't want things to change.
23:20Let's at least discuss it, yeah?
23:22I was thinking Megan could hang around
23:24and give us some independent feedback
23:26on Ollie's tasting menu.
23:27We'll discuss it then.
23:29What do you say?
23:31OK, yeah, yeah, that'd be lovely.
23:33Thanks.
23:34Great.
23:35Starving.
23:36Oh, it's so good to have you back.
23:38We've really missed you.
23:39I've missed you.
23:40Missed me?
23:41No way.
23:42Shut up.
23:43How have things been?
23:44Yeah, yeah, they've been fine.
23:46Yeah, totally, yeah.
23:47Yeah, cool, yeah.
23:49Things seemed a little fraught when we arrived.
23:51You were shouting.
23:52Got some ice cream in the freezer
23:54if you and your sister want to help yourselves.
23:57Yeah, go on.
24:00Look, if there are problems,
24:02it would be better for everyone if you tell me.
24:04Shanice has to be the priority here
24:05and I can't help unless I have the full picture.
24:08I hate it.
24:09It was nothing.
24:10You seemed pretty upset.
24:11No more than usual.
24:13Well, he walks around with his face
24:14like a slap backside 24-7
24:16and I'm amazed he's not got his undercrackers on his head.
24:19All right.
24:20Joanie needs a settled environment.
24:22If there's any issues, I need to know about.
24:24Oh, no, it's just family life, you know,
24:26a storm and a teacup.
24:28Yeah, we're all good.
24:30Maybe not the Waltons, but who is?
24:32Are they your neighbours?
24:33No, just ignore him.
24:35He's showing his age.
24:38Where's my manners?
24:39Can I make you a cup of tea?
24:42OK.
24:44Oh, you've got to love a romper suit.
24:47Yeah, press studs in all the right places.
24:50I could do with one of them on a big night.
24:52I'm not even going to investigate that.
24:55Lauren, there's some really nice gear in here.
24:56Are you sure you don't want any money for it?
24:58No, people were dead kind to me after Frankie were born.
25:01I'm just glad you could make use of it.
25:03Yeah, fingers crossed.
25:05Right then, I'd better go pick Frankie up from nursery.
25:09Thanks for this, Lauren.
25:10It's dead kind to you.
25:12No worries.
25:14See you later.
25:15Yeah, see you.
25:16Sorry about that.
25:21Just slipped out.
25:23It's all right.
25:23I don't think she suspected anything.
25:26And about before?
25:27Just forget it.
25:29It's sooner you told me how you were feeling than bottling it all up.
25:32Well, how I'm feeling is useless.
25:34I just wish there was something we could do.
25:37Well, you say that.
25:38But I've been doing some research online, right,
25:40and I've ordered loads of supplements like vitamin D, omega-3, all that jazz.
25:44Plus, I am going to be the healthiest I've ever been.
25:49What's on this chicken, like?
25:50Five spice.
25:52Five too many in my book.
25:54Agreed.
25:55If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
25:57That's my motto in the kitchen.
25:59Ignore him.
26:00It's smashing.
26:01We're just being candid here.
26:03That is the whole point of the exercise, isn't it?
26:06And I don't want my head blown off me by a chicken drumstick.
26:09All right.
26:10Well, for future reference, what would you prefer?
26:11These fajita fries are incredible.
26:16I'd be down to more need of them if I wasn't spoken for.
26:18I doubt many chips have featured in love triangles,
26:22but, sure, there's always a first time for everything.
26:24Well, you'd know.
26:25You've had a chip on your shoulder long enough.
26:27Look, I'm sure Megan doesn't need to hear our good-natured family banter.
26:31What do you make of the food, love?
26:32It's really nice.
26:33Do I get an opinion of you at all?
26:37It's all right, I suppose.
26:39I know his problem.
26:40Mum, he's missing his girlfriend already.
26:41Don't.
26:42Don't go there.
26:43So there is someone.
26:44I knew it.
26:45Oh, come on.
26:46Tell me everything.
26:47No detail too small.
26:49There's nothing to say.
26:50She dumped me.
26:53Oh.
26:54Sorry, mate.
26:56I had no idea.
26:57Neither did I.
26:58Until this morning.
27:00If she's in Hull, I'm sure it's only because of the practicalities.
27:03Yeah, exactly.
27:05You should have said something, love.
27:07Fifteen-year-old boys don't do confessionals.
27:09They pick themselves up, they dust themselves off, just like he will.
27:14Yes, but sometimes it is good to talk.
27:16The surest way for a lad to get over a girl is to move on to the next one,
27:20and he will have no shortage of offers.
27:23She must be doolally splitting up with you.
27:26No, don't diss her.
27:28She was amazing, and I was a lucky guy.
27:30It was no-one's fault.
27:31It was just the move.
27:36Well, erm, I mean, look, it is probably for the best.
27:40Long-distance relationships never really work, do they?
27:43Well, you don't know until you've tried it.
27:45Maybe you should give us a go.
27:47Look, erm, I can't help but feel I'm intruding,
27:50so, erm, thank you for the food.
27:52Oh, no!
27:52No, you don't need to.
27:53I really ought to be off.
27:54Well done, you two.
27:59Well done.
27:59Oh, God.
28:12You've got to be joking me.
28:14I've got it.
28:15I was kidding when I said you should open up this morning.
28:19Well, you weren't going to do it, were you?
28:21I was going to do it now.
28:22Only because I've been pecking your head.
28:24And besides, it's gone three...
28:25This carriage can't survive on two hours a day.
28:27I'm not normally this late.
28:29No, but you are normally late.
28:30That's if you turn up and talk.
28:31This can't carry on, Kev.
28:32Yeah.
28:33And you can't repair motors in a wheelchair.
28:36Not in this place, anyway.
28:37Well, unless you pull your finger out,
28:39I'm the only game in town, aren't I?
28:41I don't get it.
28:43We've always stepped up for each other, me and you...
28:45That is the whole point of a partnership.
28:47Knowing that there's somebody else there
28:48to pick up the slack when you need them to.
28:50Well, I may now, aren't I?
28:51No, Kev.
28:52You're not.
28:53I don't know where you are.
28:54You forgot your bag.
29:06No, I didn't.
29:08Sorry?
29:10I left it so you could bring it to me.
29:12You've got us playing fetch now.
29:14I'm not a golden retriever.
29:15I wanted to talk.
29:20Well, I thought you'd said everything you wanted to say.
29:23So did I, but...
29:25I was wrong about everything.
29:28I don't under...
29:29A boy would have blown everything sky high just then,
29:36but instead,
29:38a man
29:39took things on the chin,
29:41even though it was breaking his heart.
29:44A man
29:45showed me
29:46he doesn't just have a childish crush
29:49and that
29:50he really loves me.
29:53I can't walk away from that.
29:57So,
29:57you've changed your mind?
30:02You catch on quick.
30:04But,
30:04what do we do?
30:05How,
30:06how can we...
30:07We'll find a way.
30:11OK,
30:11we have to.
30:13What are you having?
30:14Deep pan, please.
30:15Can we have garlic dough balls as well?
30:17And a bottle of pot.
30:18Yeah,
30:18that's fine,
30:19girls.
30:20Well,
30:20it's a good job I'm collecting,
30:21because I think he'd struggle on his moped with this lot,
30:23wouldn't he?
30:24Well,
30:24we're pushing the boat out,
30:25we've got something to celebrate.
30:26We're one big happy family again.
30:29So you keep saying...
30:30Right,
30:30I'd better get going.
30:31Probably take him a while to make this much dough.
30:33I'll come with you.
30:34What,
30:35to the pizza place?
30:36Where have we got them to go to?
30:37To my car.
30:38Oh.
30:40Please,
30:41remember what I said.
30:43Honesty is the key to making this work.
30:45I'll be in touch.
30:46Yeah,
30:47there's no rush,
30:48but,
30:48obviously it's lovely to hear from you,
30:50but,
30:51hopefully there won't be any problems.
30:53Hopefully.
30:55Bye,
30:55girls.
30:56Bye.
31:04You don't have to pretend.
31:05I know you're arguing about me
31:07when we walk through the door.
31:08No.
31:09I don't blame you.
31:10I won't want me living here after
31:12all the trouble I cause.
31:13But I will,
31:14yeah.
31:15Yes,
31:15just listen to your sister.
31:17What you've just said
31:18isn't true.
31:19We really are
31:21one big happy family again.
31:23Well,
31:24not quite.
31:27Don't do this now.
31:28You've got to do it sometime, Sally.
31:39It's just a turn of phrase.
31:42And I really do love chips.
31:47You got a minute?
31:48Yeah,
31:49of course we can.
31:49You OK?
31:50I want to go back to Hull.
31:52Well,
31:53I would say
31:53that's a sentiment
31:54I don't hear every day,
31:55but I've heard nothing
31:56but from you lately.
31:57Dad,
31:57I'm serious.
31:59Is this about that girl?
32:00No,
32:01I told you
32:01I need to be there
32:02for my athletics.
32:03Son,
32:04our lives are here now.
32:06This is our home.
32:07Even if it means me
32:08giving up on running.
32:09You don't have to give up
32:10on your running.
32:10I might as well.
32:12You've seen
32:12my progress.
32:13I went from
32:14not even winning
32:15cross-country at school
32:16to being county standard.
32:18I have to admit,
32:19you have come on
32:19leaps and bounds
32:20under me again.
32:22It's just not practical.
32:23It can be.
32:25I can go back
32:25to my old school,
32:26dosh down at Jono's,
32:27and then come back home
32:28for the weekends.
32:29It's not like
32:30I want to leave you guys,
32:31but it's the only way.
32:33Would you at least
32:34consider it,
32:35please?
32:37All right,
32:37I'll think about it.
32:41That first pint
32:42won't even touch the sides.
32:44Yeah,
32:44well,
32:44don't make it too quick
32:45because it'll be
32:45your last one and all.
32:46You what?
32:47Big day tomorrow,
32:48eh?
32:48Need to bring our
32:49A game.
32:50All right,
32:50Dad.
32:52Heya,
32:52how are your days?
32:54Busy,
32:54eh?
32:54Not busier than mine,
32:55that's for sure.
32:56It'll pick up.
32:58Well,
32:58it's,
32:59look,
32:59it might already
33:00have done.
33:00Gary's doing
33:01another job with
33:01Pete.
33:03As in,
33:03Pete,
33:04Pete?
33:05Yeah,
33:05look,
33:05his money's
33:06as good as
33:06anyone's.
33:08Yeah,
33:08so the scaffolding
33:09firm he was going
33:10to use has gone
33:10bump,
33:10so I thought I could
33:11smooth things over,
33:12get him the gig.
33:13That's very kind
33:14of you,
33:14Gary,
33:14but I'd rather
33:15he didn't.
33:15We can't afford
33:16to be fussy.
33:17After what happened
33:17last time,
33:18I wouldn't feel
33:18comfortable with it.
33:19I'm sorry.
33:22Well,
33:22it's just an idea.
33:24What's up,
33:24Gary?
33:25Yes,
33:25mate.
33:26Like I said,
33:27don't you drink
33:28that all at once,
33:29once it's gone,
33:30it's home for an
33:30early night.
33:31And I don't mean
33:32the fun kind either,
33:33mister.
33:34Oh,
33:34no,
33:34we've got a prestige
33:35internment tomorrow,
33:36so I need young
33:37toddacles here
33:37to be on tip-top form.
33:39Isn't that right,
33:39son?
33:40Yes,
33:41George?
33:42Cheers,
33:43fellas.
33:45Cheers,
33:45boys.
33:46Yes,
33:46George.
33:48Mm,
33:49very nice.
33:51We're good.
33:52Ollie's holding the fort.
33:53Well,
33:54that's the least
33:54of my worries.
33:55Will cannot move
33:56to the other side
33:57of the country
33:57on his own
33:58at his age.
33:59It's two and a half
34:00hour stops.
34:01Well,
34:01you've changed
34:01your tune.
34:03I'm not keen
34:04on the idea,
34:05but I'm willing
34:06to keep an open mind.
34:08When I was his age,
34:09I had toured France,
34:10Australia,
34:11and South Africa
34:12with junior teams.
34:13Yes,
34:13but this isn't a tour.
34:14He'd be living there.
34:15It could be the making
34:16of him,
34:17give him a sense
34:17of independence.
34:19Besides,
34:20we know enough people
34:20that'll look out for him.
34:22Childhood is so short
34:24as it is.
34:25I feel like he should
34:25be here with us.
34:27Yeah,
34:27but if we say no,
34:29who's to say
34:29he won't run away again?
34:31Honestly,
34:32I think I would rather
34:33take that risk.
34:34I cannot get on board
34:36with Will
34:36living in Hull
34:37on his own.
34:39Don't worry,
34:39you won't have to.
34:41You'll send my grandson
34:43away over my dead body.
34:44What kind of father
35:04kicks his own son
35:05out of house and home?
35:07First off,
35:07I'm not kicking him out.
35:08He wants to go.
35:10And how is it any different
35:11from boarding school
35:11apart from his home
35:12every weekend?
35:12We're not from the class
35:14of people that are happy
35:15to farm out their own kids.
35:16She's got a pound.
35:18When did you two
35:19start singing
35:20from the same hymn sheet?
35:22Will's place
35:22is with his family.
35:24He's just a kid.
35:26And he'll be a man
35:27soon enough.
35:28This is the first step.
35:29You know,
35:29you two,
35:30you two spoil him rotten.
35:32It'll do him good
35:33to stand on his own two feet.
35:34It's more than you'll
35:35be doing in a mess.
35:35You're not going to bully me
35:36on this one, Ma.
35:38He's my son
35:39and I think he's mature enough
35:41to make this decision.
35:43So as long as we can make
35:44his living arrangements work,
35:46it's his choice.
35:48And way to give Ollie a hand.
35:51Times like this,
35:53I think he took too many
35:54knocks on the rugby field.
35:56He's not thinking straight.
35:58Well, whether he is
35:59or he isn't,
36:00you know what he's like
36:00when he dicks his heels in.
36:02Better than anyone alive.
36:04We have got to fix this
36:05before it's too late.
36:08You in?
36:09All the way.
36:09Are you going to order anything
36:17or are you just enjoying
36:17the ambience?
36:19Come again?
36:21What can I get you?
36:22Oh, now I'm
36:23waiting for someone.
36:25Right, well,
36:25I hope you order some
36:26when they arrive
36:26because we're not
36:27a drop-in centre,
36:27you know.
36:28We'll have some samosas
36:29and a couple of OJs, please.
36:32Right.
36:32You all right?
36:38Oh, go on.
36:40How did your mum get on?
36:42Do you not know?
36:44We don't get a live feed
36:45from this cause.
36:46It's not
36:46the final score.
36:49She got four months
36:50added on.
36:52Right, so what's the face for?
36:54She gave that cellmate
36:55of hers a right good pasting.
36:57Could have been a lot worse
36:58than four months, mate.
36:59It's not that.
37:00Tim and Sally have no right
37:01trying to hide it from me.
37:03Why would they do that?
37:05You tell me, Brody.
37:07What?
37:08Why do you think
37:09they did that?
37:10Seriously.
37:11What's in it for them?
37:13I suppose...
37:15I suppose...
37:18they thought it might
37:20upset us,
37:20but they still
37:21should have told me.
37:22Right, so what you're saying
37:23is they made a misjudgment,
37:25but it came from a good place.
37:26It's not exactly
37:27crime of the century,
37:28is it, pal?
37:29Oh.
37:31Right, boys,
37:33that's me done.
37:33Oh, come on, cockers.
37:34Stay for the rest.
37:35I'll get enough earache
37:36as it is.
37:36If we had a dog,
37:37my dinner would be in it
37:38but I know
37:38I'd have a kipping
37:39in his house tonight.
37:40Have a good one.
37:41All right.
37:41Tell her.
37:42See ya.
37:43You know,
37:43we should probably go too.
37:44I'm already two drinks
37:45over, George's limit.
37:47George's limit?
37:48Oh, come on,
37:49I know he was knocking
37:49off your mum,
37:50but that'll make him your dad.
37:51Um, look,
37:52he feels like family
37:53and he's still my boss.
37:54Tomorrow's a big deal for him.
37:56Wish tomorrow
37:57were a big deal for me.
37:58Probably look the same as today.
37:59It won't be forever.
38:01Maybe, maybe not.
38:02Oh, come on,
38:03I've been in the flat all day.
38:04I can't face going back.
38:05Just stay for one more,
38:06please.
38:07Go on,
38:07but one more,
38:08all right,
38:09and I mean it.
38:09Okay.
38:11Hey.
38:12Can I get you, Chief?
38:13Can I have, uh,
38:14two vodka tonics, please?
38:16And, uh,
38:16make one of them a double.
38:20Shouldn't have sounded off before.
38:22I'm sorry.
38:23I know you're going through
38:25a tough time, mate,
38:26but letting the business
38:27go down the pan,
38:28that's not going to help,
38:28is it?
38:29I know.
38:30But knowing isn't enough.
38:33It isn't what you think,
38:34it's what you feel.
38:36You wouldn't understand.
38:38I want to.
38:40I want to help,
38:41but you're going to have to
38:42let me know what's going on,
38:43Kev.
38:43Everything all right?
38:52Yeah, yeah,
38:52it's just first wanting
38:53to know where I am.
38:54We should go home.
38:56No,
38:57this is more important.
38:58No,
38:58nothing's more important
38:59than family.
39:00I've got to go myself anyway,
39:02so come on,
39:02I'll push you.
39:03I thought they'd shut
39:15Weatherfield Library.
39:18Everything all right?
39:19Yeah,
39:19it's just been a full-on day.
39:21Isn't it just?
39:23There's some pizza
39:24in the fridge,
39:24you'll be hungry.
39:26Oh,
39:26no,
39:26I've eaten to.
39:30Look,
39:31I wanted to say sorry.
39:33Oh,
39:34Brody,
39:34you were entitled
39:35to be upset.
39:37No,
39:37I wasn't.
39:38I'm not
39:39entitled to any of this.
39:42Brief over my head,
39:44pizza in the fridge,
39:45and
39:45you protecting us
39:48about my mum.
39:49Don't be daft.
39:51I made a promise
39:51to your mum
39:52and I'm happy
39:53to keep it.
39:54Yeah,
39:54we both are.
39:56It just takes
39:57time getting used to
39:58someone giving a toss.
40:01Mm.
40:01But I am
40:03dead grateful.
40:05We all are.
40:09Thanks.
40:14Well,
40:15I wasn't expecting that.
40:17Yeah,
40:18well,
40:18I'm getting used
40:18to the unexpected.
40:20Oh,
40:20Sally,
40:20you're making
40:21something out of nothing.
40:22How is that true?
40:25Even if I adopted
40:26your weird perspective
40:28and saw Trisha
40:29as some sort of ex,
40:30should I be happy
40:31that you're pursuing
40:32her on social media?
40:33I wasn't,
40:34I wasn't,
40:34I was just...
40:35what, Tim,
40:36what?
40:37Because,
40:38to me,
40:39it looks like
40:40you've got a very
40:40unhealthy obsession
40:42with the woman
40:42who groomed you.
40:43Nobody got groomed
40:44and the only person
40:45obsessed is you,
40:46obsessed with something
40:47that never happened.
40:49Where are you going?
40:50You can't run away.
40:51Watch me.
40:52The last thing I want
40:57is to see less of you.
40:58You're a big part
40:59of this family.
41:00And I still will be.
41:01I'll be back
41:02every weekend.
41:04You better be.
41:05I can go.
41:06As long as we can
41:07sort your living arrangements.
41:09I'd hate to see
41:10your potential go to waste
41:11because of a decision
41:11I made.
41:13Thanks, Dad.
41:16Sorry
41:17to interrupt
41:18a lovely father
41:19some moment,
41:19but, um,
41:20we've got a bit of news.
41:23So have we.
41:24I've decided that...
41:25You're deciding nothing.
41:27You might have been happy
41:28to abandon Will,
41:29but we weren't.
41:30I called Megan,
41:32we had a few drinks,
41:33and we found a solution.
41:36What kind of solution?
41:39Your grands pay me
41:40to come over here
41:40two days a week
41:41for some one-on-one
41:42training sessions.
41:44Right.
41:45Money is no object
41:46when it comes
41:46to my family's happiness.
41:49I'm just so glad
41:50to see the smile
41:51back on your face
41:52face.
41:59God,
42:00I can't,
42:00I just,
42:01I can't get
42:02this undone.
42:04That's because
42:05it's a zip.
42:06Eh?
42:07You're left,
42:07apis,
42:08come here.
42:08Oh,
42:09yeah.
42:10Zop.
42:12Oh,
42:13don't expect me
42:15to undress you.
42:16you brought this
42:19on yourself.
42:20You know,
42:21you feel rotten
42:21tomorrow morning.
42:24Oh,
42:25yeah.
42:26That's the ticket.
42:27you know,
42:28that's the ticket.
42:28That's the ticket.
42:29I can't have a
42:31ticket.
42:31You know,
42:32you can't have a
42:32ticket.
42:32I can't have a
42:34ticket.
42:34I don't know.
43:04You all right?
43:16You all right?
43:23That was too close for comfort.
43:25Sorry, I might have got carried away.
43:27Don't apologise.
43:30Just make sure you're in good shape for next week
43:32because I am really going to put you through your paces.
43:34Is that so?
43:35You can count on it.
43:37I don't think things could have worked out any better, do you?
43:39No.
43:41I can definitely feel a personal best coming on.
43:43Streaming on ITVX, mobsters, mayhem and the making of a masterpiece.
