00:00Hi Carla, it's me.
00:25I hope you're okay.
00:29I think you managed to get some rest and some space.
00:32Sorry, I just don't know what I'm saying.
00:35Can we talk, please?
00:39Lisa.
00:41Someone called about Costello?
00:44No.
00:45He's in ITU, induced coma.
00:48Someone's attacked him.
00:50Do we know who?
00:51Well, I wondered if you had any ideas.
00:53Me?
00:54Or someone close to you.
00:57Someone had heated conversation on the phone before he was attacked.
01:02I heard him.
01:04And?
01:06I think it was Becky.
01:09Are you the investigating officer?
01:11No.
01:12But...
01:13No.
01:14Well, if Costello can't recommend you for promotion now, how will you ever get noticed, eh?
01:17Lisa, I'm just trying to...
01:18Yeah, you just wanted to throw suspicion on Costello and now it's Becky.
01:22Leave the theorising to your senior officers, eh?
01:24There's a good lad.
01:25Hey.
01:26I couldn't decide protein or fruit and or muesli.
01:39I...
01:40Oh, wow.
01:41My work here is done.
01:42I am so proud of you, Mr. Dietitian.
01:46Do you know what?
01:47Do you know what?
01:48I'm really pleased.
01:49Because I had the 3am night terrors.
01:50You know that was pushing you too hard towards your fitness goals.
01:51No, I...
01:52I need the encouragement.
01:53Um, I mean, you do know more about all this stuff, so...
01:54Um, eggs then?
01:55Um, actually, that might be too heavy on a training day, so I suggest a banana.
01:56Oh, I thought today was a rest day anyway.
01:57No, no, no.
01:58I've got to get the mouths in the legs.
01:59Um, but...
02:00I promise I'll make lunch and I will disguise the protein as fine dining.
02:01Awesome.
02:02Oh, I need to get the rest day, I guess.
02:03You know, I don't know what?
02:04You know, it's very good.
02:05It's very good.
02:06I'm not really happy, but I'm not really happy.
02:07I don't know.
02:08You will have to be very happy.
02:09But I'm not really happy.
02:10Very happy.
02:11That's the best.
02:12You know what?
02:13It's amazing.
02:14I'm not really happy.
02:15Do you know what?
02:16I'm really pleased.
02:17Because I had the 3am night terrors.
02:18You know that was pushing you too hard towards your fitness goals.
02:20No, I...
02:21I need the encouragement.
02:22Um, I mean, you do know more about all this stuff, so...
02:23Well...
02:24Um, eggs then?
02:25I promise I'll make lunch and I will disguise the protein as fine dining.
02:28Awesome.
02:28Oh, I need to get the bedroom mirror and bring it in here
02:31so we can keep track of our bodies so that we make healthy choices.
02:35I'm just going to go and get it.
02:42Now, this is excellent.
02:46Because Asha, she loves jigsaws.
02:48Finds them really calming.
02:49I had to crop it so there wasn't too much white wall.
02:52It's fricking.
02:52Or I would love the wall.
02:55Sky, beach, anything impossible.
02:57You see, the secret is to look at the shapes,
03:00the tabs and the pockets, as I call them.
03:04You see?
03:05It's two tabs, two pockets.
03:08Three pockets, one tab.
03:12Lucky he's not coming to the mental health unit.
03:15They'd keep him in.
03:17Plus that bad taste.
03:19Yeah.
03:19So, what time are you guys visiting?
03:21Uh, we told Asha lunchtime that it's a bit tight for you, isn't it?
03:25Yeah, I'll just have to multitask in my lecture this morning.
03:28It'll be fine.
03:29I do have a mat that makes the jigsaw portable, if it's a game of any use.
03:34Oh!
03:35Bus!
03:35Oh, I haven't sounded bad.
03:37I'll have it.
03:37Actually, your portable mat is an excellent idea.
03:42Perhaps you can use it to raise the subjects of Asha coming home, you know, after you've pieced it together, you know, jigsaw-wise.
03:47Oh, I didn't think of it like that.
03:49Yeah.
03:49Piecing her back together.
03:51It's a bit cringe, isn't it?
03:52But you don't pressure her to come home.
03:54I mean, it's her decision, and if she thinks that you're telling us what to say...
03:57Yeah, but I'm not lying.
03:59And I wouldn't, because it is her decision, it's her recovery.
04:03But to make a decision takes confidence.
04:05So perhaps you should give her some...
04:08Confidence.
04:10See you there.
04:13It's Curse's gang.
04:15That's just your anxiety talking.
04:16Who else would target Costello?
04:18Well, his rank, anyone.
04:20Morning.
04:20Morning, love.
04:21What have you told him about me?
04:24Oh, my God.
04:26Hey.
04:27I am not going to let any harm into you, OK?
04:31Do you understand?
04:33Yeah?
04:35Good.
04:35Yeah.
04:37Hi.
04:41I'm coming to get my squatches for the day.
04:44I'll give you two some space.
04:48Um, she got herself into a state.
04:52Costello's been attacked.
04:54Is it all right?
04:55No, he's in 90U.
04:57Seems like nothing's going right at the moment.
05:00Did you get my message?
05:01Let me owe you some breakfast?
05:02No, that's not that.
05:03I'll see you later.
05:05Well, what about coffee?
05:07Carla?
05:11You don't make it easy for it.
05:14What?
05:16Fretting over Becky in front of her.
05:19Becky's terrified and with good cause.
05:22Right, well, you can explain it, but how do you think it looks?
05:25And feels.
05:27I'm just saying maybe just a little bit less justifying, maybe a little bit more understanding.
05:37Ryan, Carla has asked for some space and that is exactly what she's getting.
05:41But you lettering me isn't helping.
05:55Is it true you moved out?
05:58So it's not just your job then, being a detective, it's your hobby and all, is it?
06:02You need to stop Lisa trusting Becky.
06:04Oh, right.
06:05So when I told you that Becky was manipulative and untrustworthy, you didn't want to know?
06:11Yeah, well, it's got more serious now.
06:13So it didn't count when she just wanted to mess me and Lisa up?
06:15Carla, I want us to work together.
06:17Why do I feel like there's eight people in my relationship?
06:19Honestly.
06:20A couple of invoices need paying today, please.
06:23Yeah, I'll start it.
06:25Or I could save me pecking your head every five minutes.
06:29He did say that I was going to be in charge of the accounts.
06:31Yeah, fine.
06:32Yeah?
06:33I just need the online bank password, please.
06:36Oh, if he's having it, then I'll need it.
06:38Because?
06:39Because we are equals.
06:41Never works.
06:42Book has to start with someone.
06:43The fewer people to blame for any anomalies, the better.
06:45Great, so you can stop pecking our head, but make sure that I've got to constantly peck yours.
06:50Like you are now?
06:51Well, yeah, essentially.
06:52Okay, yeah, great.
06:52Oi! Oi!
06:54I'm trying to concentrate here.
06:57Now, I did send myself an email to a link with...
07:00Oh, I must have missed this email.
07:03They're asking me to talk at an event we're hosting tomorrow.
07:07What event?
07:08Women in business.
07:10Oh, great!
07:11Well, I've no time to put a speech together now.
07:16Right, have you got it?
07:17The password.
07:18And if it's written on a post-it note, like everything else, I'll be changing it to something stronger.
07:21Will you stop pecking my head?
07:23He's only wanted to change it so you can't give it me, too.
07:26Do you know what I'm going to do in a minute?
07:27I'm going to bash your heads together because I can't hear myself think of you.
07:30Hey, Carla, getting the cakes in. Do you want one?
07:40I thought everybody was on a health kick these days.
07:42Oh, yeah, well, it's only when it's somebody's birthday or a divorce or first date or going on holiday.
07:49No cakes. Thanks, Sal.
07:50OK.
07:56I've got a question.
07:58Oh, look, look, if this is about the Rovers, I didn't actually run it, all right?
08:01I just kind of got cornered into owning it by people basically lying, cheating and basically letting me down.
08:08I was literally just going to ask you if you were OK.
08:12Oh.
08:14Oh, gossip then?
08:15No, Carla.
08:17Look, as somebody that bites people's heads off when I'm hurting, I totally get it.
08:23And I know that things haven't been great for you, but I've been away that long now.
08:26All I've got is half stories.
08:28Well, you know the headlines.
08:30I met someone, fell in love with her, which was as much as a shock for me as it was everybody else.
08:37More.
08:38But actually, it turns out it doesn't matter who you fall in love with, does it?
08:45Because it always hurt you.
08:46It's always going to go wrong, so you just shouldn't bother in the first place.
08:50Oh, Carly, you're such a lovely couple.
08:52You're a proper power couple.
08:54I mean, you're not saying that...
08:55I'm not saying anything to you, Sal.
09:02I hate seeing you this sad.
09:06Yeah, well, me too.
09:07Actually, it's relentless.
09:11I'm going to put an end to it.
09:14Today.
09:14Well, I'd have to know what you're knowing about.
09:35Oh, a speech I'm not doing.
09:38Yeah?
09:38Can I help?
09:39What, empower women by getting a man to write it for me?
09:43Yeah.
09:44Well, it is empowerment, really, if you think about it, isn't it?
09:46Getting a bloke to do your bidding.
09:47Talking of getting a bloke to do your bidding, I'm still waiting on those passwords, unless you want to pay interest on those invoices.
09:54You know what?
09:55He's right about one thing.
09:55He's right about one person being across all the finances, but personally, I think it should be the longest-serving manager.
10:03As opposed to a family member?
10:05So, nepotism trumps service now, does it?
10:08It would for me.
10:08Everything's power to it for you, ma'am.
10:10Oh, look, will you stop bickering?
10:13I was running businesses when this lad was still in nappies.
10:15I'll be running them when you're back in nappies, mate.
10:17How's that?
10:18Oh, for goodness sake!
10:20There's only about five years between you, and you're both acting like you're in nappies.
10:25But you're right.
10:26But we don't want to be chucking passwords around like confetti.
10:31It's not secure.
10:33And this is a one-person job.
10:36So, Carl, you sort out the banking.
10:39Great.
10:40I've got to go to him literally every time I want to open an account.
10:43And Ryan, Ryan, you sort out the staff rotors.
10:48And when Carl wants anything sorted in that department, he'll have to come to you and ask you.
10:54Yeah?
10:55So, you behave yourself, and you behave yourself.
10:59Get it, got it, good.
11:00Fine.
11:01Okay.
11:04Age before beauty, mate, please.
11:06By all means.
11:12I wonder what your running watch is going to make of your elevated heart rate.
11:18GPS static, heart rate elevated.
11:22A riddle.
11:22We should try and confuse it a bit more.
11:25No.
11:26A mighty lunch was promised, sire.
11:27And a mighty lunch shall be delivered.
11:30Tell you what.
11:31If a year ago, someone had said to me that I would run five miles and a block,
11:36while the man who made it possible rustled up a...
11:39What was it you're making?
11:40It's like a veggie, katsu curry thingy.
11:42That sounds very nice.
11:44I should probably get dressed.
11:45Black tie?
11:46Just a black tie, please.
11:48You'll be lucky.
11:52Hi.
11:53Leave it.
11:54What?
11:55Yeah, come up.
11:56It's James.
11:59Oh.
11:59You said, uh, something about gear.
12:03Gear?
12:03Well, I'm pretty sure you don't mean drugs.
12:06Hi.
12:07Oh, sorry.
12:09Busy.
12:10Oh, no, Theo was just rustling something up to reward me for all my training.
12:14Ah, high vis to chef's kiss, eh?
12:16That's him.
12:16Yeah.
12:18Uh, is there something we can help you with, Jimmy?
12:20Foam rollers.
12:22Dom's evasion.
12:23Is there a Duolingo for this?
12:25Delayed onset muscle soreness.
12:27Dom's.
12:28It's a lot easier to avoid with the right kit.
12:30I'll show you.
12:31Well, hang on, mate.
12:32This one's dressing gown.
12:33Oh, I've hurt me eyes.
12:34Right.
12:35Lie down.
12:36I've only hurt a bit.
12:37All right.
12:39Uh, what, like, here?
12:41Yeah, just there.
12:43That's the one.
12:45Right.
12:46Oh, how's that?
12:47Right, and then they're wearing this mat off of Royce that the jigsaw will be more portable,
12:51so when you are ready to come home...
12:52Which I'm not.
12:54No, honey, I'm just saying, okay?
12:56I mean, you don't have options.
12:57No, you haven't said that to him, have you?
12:58No.
12:59You know, about me coming home.
13:00No word.
13:01You know, they've missed you, babe.
13:02They're keen to see you.
13:04You know, I'm not so sure about this now.
13:06Why?
13:06You know, I think maybe I was right in the first place about me being left alone.
13:10Hey, you never said the guy on reception was so hot.
13:13Mina, wait to see Asha not flirt with the staff.
13:16Um, does someone not come with you?
13:19Er, she's hoping to.
13:22Yeah, I just thought it'd be all of you.
13:25Yeah, she just had to get an assignment in and get through a lecture, but honestly, she'll
13:29be here if she can.
13:30Until then, edge pieces.
13:33We were worried it might be a bit metaphoric, you know, fold apart, get pulled back together,
13:38but honestly, we hadn't even thought of that.
13:40And we borrowed Roy's mat.
13:41So when you come home, you can just fold it over and bring it back?
13:44When you're ready.
13:45Obviously.
13:50Oh, Lisa.
13:52Oh, Lisa.
13:53I am so sorry.
13:55I was saying to Carla, you two were such a power couple.
13:59Were?
14:01What?
14:03Well, if there's gossip, I want to know.
14:06It's not gossip.
14:07I wouldn't gossip.
14:09I didn't put it on the thread, did I?
14:10I mean, Sean would have.
14:12What's the thread?
14:13Oh, it's our Stitcher's WhatsApp group.
14:15It's just that...
14:16I thought that you'd broken up, you know, from what Carla was saying.
14:20Oh, Lisa, I'm so sorry.
14:22I knew things that were difficult.
14:25Did you now?
14:26Lisa.
14:27I thought that we could have a chat.
14:29I mean, maybe we could do it out here in front of these two, and then Sally can transcribe
14:32it onto the thread.
14:33What?
14:35Let's go to the house.
14:37The house?
14:38You mean our home?
14:45That food smells amazing.
14:47Are you torturing me into inviting you for lunch?
14:49Is that an offer?
14:52Er, sorry.
14:54You don't run, you don't eat.
14:55Are you really going to condemn me to the chippy?
14:57Don't try and put chips in my head.
14:59Oh, I've got to go.
15:00I've got to cry in ten minutes.
15:02You can invite me another time.
15:03Maybe when you've got boxes on.
15:05Right, it's off.
15:06Keep the foam rollers till after the marathons.
15:08Do it every day, especially that calf.
15:11Right, see you later.
15:12See you all.
15:13In a bit.
15:13In a bit, love.
15:14Thanks.
15:14My legs really do feel better.
15:28Who's going to speak to you tonight?
15:30What, after you talk to all your employees about us?
15:32Oh, Lisa, I didn't.
15:35Well, I can't, can I?
15:37Not really.
15:38I have to keep secrets.
15:39Well, I was a bit thrown hearing them talk like that.
15:45I understand the pressure you're under, I really do.
15:47And honestly, I will do whatever it takes to ease some of that.
15:52Um.
15:54What?
15:56In between, like, dealing with Becky, being all over her.
16:00What?
16:01Oh, come on, that's not fair, is it?
16:03She was scared, and I was...
16:04Doesn't matter.
16:13I'll try harder.
16:15I can't do it anymore.
16:18I'm constantly angry.
16:21And stressed.
16:23Or utterly miserable.
16:25And just...
16:27Sidelined.
16:29Carla, look, today was an utter mess.
16:33All right, what, with Costello being attacked,
16:35Becky convinced it's a warning from the gang,
16:37thrown around these ridiculous allegations that he thinks it's Becky.
16:40It's just...
16:41That what?
16:42Attacked Costello?
16:43Yeah, which is ridiculous.
16:45But it just means I'm managing him and managing her.
16:47I can't do this anymore.
16:50All right, I...
16:51I can't see it from all angles anymore.
16:55I'm sorry if that makes me selfish, but I can't.
16:58So what are you saying?
17:03I think we, erm...
17:07Should not be together.
17:14As in, you stay at the hotel for...
17:16Not be together anymore.
17:18Us.
17:20It's one person less for you to manage.
17:25I didn't mean that.
17:26I don't like that, mate.
17:30I need to go back to work.
17:38Collars.
17:43I love you.
17:43I think these are Summer's tea.
17:49No, they're mine.
17:50See, if we would have just used the mat, things wouldn't have slid off.
17:53No, it's fine on the table.
17:55You know, other people can do something you lot have gone home.
17:58Yeah, but at least if it was on the mat, I mean...
18:00No, if you've come here to push me into going home...
18:02We wouldn't.
18:03We wanted to see you.
18:05Yeah, not Summer, though.
18:07Oh, I'm sorry.
18:09My flaming lecture ran over and then the bus driver had a standoff with some lad who forgot his pass.
18:14I just got off and ran in the end.
18:17Hi, Asha.
18:18Hi.
18:18We've lost your teeth.
18:20No, jigsaw in pieces.
18:21We were comparing teeth and then the box went over.
18:26Summer, are you feeling all right?
18:29Summer?
18:32Summer?
18:34Summer?
18:36Summer, can you hear me?
18:40Decided against the black tie.
18:43I'd only got my dinner down here.
18:46What dinner?
18:48Well, the one that you were making.
18:51You seriously expect me to cook for every man you bring home and flirt with?
18:58No.
18:59What?
19:01First Pete.
19:03Now James.
19:05James was helping with our programme.
19:09Recovery.
19:14Did he turn you on?
19:16Of course not.
19:19You know he's playing, yeah?
19:21Don't you?
19:23And you're just simpering around him.
19:25He wants work.
19:27Clients.
19:27He is a mate.
19:33Look at yourself.
19:35What do you see?
19:36Look, Todd.
19:38Do you see, hmm?
19:40Do you see a potential client?
19:42Or flirt?
19:43Stop it, all right?
19:44I'm putting up with this.
19:45So you're telling me to stop it, but not him.
19:48He wasn't pushing me around, was he?
19:50Pushing you around?
19:51Hmm?
19:52If you want me to push you around, I'll push you around.
19:54Theo, Theo, stop it.
19:55Now look at yourself.
19:56Look, Todd.
19:57Look at yourself.
19:58Stop it, Theo.
19:59Have a look at yourself, Todd.
20:01No!
20:01Don't.
20:02Go on.
20:03Sean.
20:03Oh, my God.
20:33Todd, I'm OK.
20:39Look, just watch your feet, yeah?
20:41I'm going to get your top.
20:43I need to put some pressure on it.
20:44All right, just nice and easy.
20:48OK?
20:48Watch your feet.
20:50Todd, put some pressure on it, yeah?
20:53Look, I'll clean up the glass, all right?
21:01Yeah, hey, you gave us a right scare, then.
21:02I thought you were unconscious.
21:04No, I just felt...
21:06Do you want me to get you an ambulance?
21:07No, no, no.
21:08Hey, look, you'll be fine, OK?
21:09You just need some rest.
21:10Yeah, I'll just go on to get you some orange juice.
21:12Yeah, thanks.
21:13You've got to get a first aider.
21:15I am fine.
21:17Look, just drink some of this, all right?
21:20Here you go.
21:21I'm supposed to be supporting you.
21:23I'm rubbish.
21:24Yeah, you're not rubbish.
21:25No, you're doing really well.
21:27Drink.
21:32Oh, I hate getting like this.
21:35Hey, look, things happen, OK?
21:36You can't blame yourself.
21:38Now, let us look after you.
21:41No shame in being helped.
21:42Hey.
21:53Oh, just watch your feet.
21:54I've got most of it.
21:54I've got some glass on the floor.
21:56Just be careful.
21:57This needs to be achieved.
21:59No, it doesn't.
22:00We'll just get the, um, first aid kit and those plasters.
22:03What are they called?
22:03The butterfly?
22:03Yeah, OK.
22:07All right, just put some pressure on it.
22:10Just, just sit down.
22:11Take it easy.
22:11Sit down.
22:15Yeah, OK.
22:15We'll go to the hospital.
22:17All right?
22:19You've had me scared to death, Todd.
22:22All right.
22:22I mean, obviously, it was the tug of war thing, you know?
22:25Because I was going one way and you were going the other,
22:27and obviously, I was trying to keep you still,
22:28and then you must have, you must have bounced off me,
22:30and you've hit your head on the...
22:31You know what I mean?
22:36All right, look, um, I'll get your shoes and your coat.
22:40All right, you just stay there.
22:48I thought we'd get married.
22:50Yeah, I've been working on me speech.
22:52No, you haven't.
22:54Um, Carla's weddings.
22:56Once, twice, third time a lady.
22:59Try five.
23:03Five?
23:05Well, well, ruin me joke, why don't you?
23:07Well, everything else is getting ruined, so...
23:10On the house.
23:11Well, I don't don't look that bad.
23:13Ooh!
23:14Yeah.
23:18I really shouldn't, you know.
23:20Well, I'll sort that out for you.
23:22Don't worry about that.
23:23Listen, if you need somewhere to stay,
23:25I know he is a bit manic,
23:26but the sofa's always free.
23:28Hmm, sofa?
23:29More of a en-suite kind of girl hotel, do you know?
23:32Yeah.
23:32Well, maybe I'll come and stay with you, then.
23:34I'll send Maggie.
23:35Mm-hmm.
23:36Keep joking.
23:40Fine, please.
23:41Your table service, then?
23:44Er, only for people needing TLC.
23:46My job, always.
23:47Always.
23:48Will you do us a favour?
23:55Yeah.
23:56Will you pack me a case up?
23:59Yeah, well, of course, but...
24:01Don't try and talk me out of it, Ryan.
24:03Well, let me have one go.
24:04There's no point.
24:05I think you're being a little bit all or nothing.
24:08You know, together forever and never darken me door again.
24:11Eh?
24:11Now, Lisa loves you, OK?
24:13You love her.
24:15Now, the whole bit...
24:16The whole Becky thing.
24:20It's bonkers.
24:20Right.
24:21All right?
24:21Yeah, it's crazy.
24:22There's no map.
24:23And you definitely can't live like that, all right?
24:25You need space.
24:26So, ask for space.
24:29You know, I'm in the house.
24:31Eyes and ears.
24:33You know, if I think you've got a right to be suspicious,
24:35then I'll tip you off and you can take control.
24:37But right now, you're hurting, understandably.
24:39But don't let that be your map.
24:42That's what I'm saying.
24:43I'll tell you, I was so clumsy as a kid.
24:52Everybody naturally clumsy decides to become a scaffolder.
24:56I think...
24:56I think it's because I grew quickly.
25:00Yeah, you know.
25:02Tall.
25:04Never quite knew where I ended.
25:05My sister, she was, um...
25:09She was so jealous.
25:11Have you been taught?
25:13No.
25:13Being clumsy.
25:15All the, um...
25:16Plasters and bandages and all that.
25:17Do you know?
25:20She was.
25:22With her pocket money, she bought a tin of plasters.
25:26She put them all over herself.
25:29And then she regretted it when she had to rip them off.
25:33Oh, easy.
25:34Easy, take it.
25:35Be careful.
25:38Maybe that's what brought us together, eh?
25:41Our clumsiness.
25:42You know, I keep hearing the, er...
25:47The crack as you fell into the mirror.
25:52Imagine if I hadn't been there.
25:54And you'd knock yourself out.
25:56Cold, it doesn't bear thinking about.
25:59I'm gonna wrap you up in cotton wool from now on.
26:02All right?
26:09Do you want me to get you a drink?
26:12Yeah.
26:14A pint of IPA.
26:16Or maybe a tea.
26:19Yeah.
26:20Okay.
26:22I love you.
26:25I'm gonna take care of you.
26:26All right?
26:30Jack Grimshaw?
26:31Tell me what I can do.
26:43If you don't want to talk about it, you know, how can we take your mind off things?
26:47Er, do you want to watch a film?
26:50Erm, do you still laugh at cat videos?
26:55Clutching at straws now, aren't you?
26:56Okay.
26:58And we don't have to talk about it.
27:03But you will get through this.
27:05You are the strongest woman I know.
27:10No.
27:11No, it's true.
27:12It's the only thing that kept me going when I knew how much you'd be hurting when I had to go.
27:21I knew you'd find a way to keep going for Petsy.
27:24And you will find a way now.
27:31Can we talk about something else, please?
27:35Okay.
27:38The tree.
27:42Let's put up the tree.
27:44You know, I bet, Bets still goes crazy for all the decks.
27:48Even at her age.
27:50Does she?
27:50Okay.
27:53Okay.
27:54We'll put up the tree for Betsy.
27:57And I'll put some mulled wine in a pan for you.
27:59Right?
28:01And I know I can't fix this.
28:04But boy, can I paper over the cracks.
28:14Right.
28:14I'm sure there's no more glass in it.
28:18So I'm just going to glue it now.
28:20No stitches, then.
28:22Been a while since you presented here with a cut, then?
28:26Am I out of date?
28:28Clearly been lucky till today.
28:32What happened?
28:32Uh, it was, um, the mirror.
28:39He, we, had, um, brought it through to the living room.
28:44Part of...
28:46Well, anyway, it wasn't where it was supposed to be, and, uh...
28:51Well, you get confused, don't you?
28:53You said we brought it through to the living room.
28:59Who's we?
29:00Me and my partner.
29:02Okay.
29:03Did she or he?
29:04He.
29:06Was he there?
29:08Did he see it when it happened?
29:10Is there anything you want to tell me about it?
29:18You got someone who can be with you?
29:38Yeah.
29:40Yes.
29:43Thanks, ma'am.
29:43Hey, sorry I went on, um, my wild tea chase.
29:47Is this your partner?
29:49Yeah.
29:49Theo?
29:50Todd's fine to go, Theo.
29:52Um, with head wounds, we'd like to know someone's at home.
29:55Oh, yeah, don't worry about that.
29:56I'll, uh, keep me high.
29:57Okay, any nausea, dizziness, anything of concern,
30:00please call the NHS helpline.
30:02Okay.
30:03Nice to meet you, Todd.
30:05Thanks.
30:05I'd say the same, but...
30:09Oh, we need, uh, super glue.
30:11In our first aid kit, apparently.
30:13Um, no.
30:14I'd rather you came back here next time you fall out with your own reflection.
30:18Oh, don't worry about there will not be a next time.
30:20I mean, it frightened me off to death.
30:23All right, then, come on, let's get you on.
30:26Thanks, Doc.
30:27I'll take care of it.
30:28Oh, God, he's still here.
30:32Look, I'm sorry for putting my foot in it before.
30:35Oh, so, don't worry about it, honestly.
30:38No offence, but your input on the disaster,
30:41which is my relationship, is rather minuscule.
30:44There are way bigger forces.
30:46As you mean to why.
30:48Well, how do we work things out?
30:50The meeting was fine, by the way,
30:52so if you want to take tomorrow off...
30:54No, business as usual.
30:55She is so stubborn.
31:03Why won't she take some time out?
31:05Stubborn women.
31:07I wonder what they're like to deal with.
31:09What's that supposed to mean?
31:11They need to sort things out.
31:13Someone needs to be watching what's going on in that house.
31:16I'm gonna get another.
31:17You do know there's an actual law now
31:26about keeping Christmas in December?
31:28It'll be caught hanging decks in November.
31:29No, it's not.
31:32Yeah.
31:33It comes under statute of nuisance.
31:34Environmental Protection Act 1990
31:36was updated in 2024 while you were in hiding.
31:39No, because then all the shops will be closing down
31:41when Freshco split the tree up in October.
31:44Not this year.
31:46Don't believe me, ask Chris.
31:49Hi, I'm contraband.
31:50Arrest me.
31:51It's only November.
31:53You're a flaming wind-up merchant.
31:56Yeah, well, you weren't sure.
31:57Admit it.
31:58All right, maybe for a second.
32:02So, who's this?
32:03This is Chris Moose.
32:08Betsy bought him last year on top of the tree.
32:12She'd gone off angels.
32:17Right.
32:18Chris Moose, make yourself useful
32:20and ask Lisa to go and check on the mulled wine.
32:23OK?
32:25Excuse.
32:26Oi, oi.
32:32One of the barmen just called in sick.
32:35The show department, eh?
32:36Send me an email.
32:37Seriously?
32:38Seriously?
32:39In my department, my rules.
32:40Send me an email.
32:41Like a paper trail so you can't undermine me.
32:43Email?
32:44It will be.
32:45And it's hi, Ryan, OK?
32:46Do you prefer something more formal like
32:47dear Mr. Connor?
32:49Hi, Ryan is fine.
32:50And I'll be emailing you some payroll
32:51to settle first thing, all right?
32:52Oi, stop showing us up, you.
32:54Lame Todd and Theo.
32:55I said I might join him for a run
32:57so I'm sneaking in a bit of light training.
33:01I will.
33:02See you later.
33:05Cheers.
33:06Lady.
33:08You ready?
33:08Maybe I'll just talk to her tomorrow.
33:10You don't want to shut her in that house
33:11with the competition
33:12thinking there's no way back for you, do you?
33:13You've got to keep hope alive
33:14for the both of you, so come on.
33:16I don't know what to say.
33:17Just tell her that you've taken some space
33:20for now
33:20and that you'll want to keep talking.
33:23Will you trust me?
33:24Come on.
33:25Come on.
33:29Come on.
33:33Here we go.
33:54Package the case, eh, right?
33:58I am.
33:59Do you want any painkillers are out?
34:03Do you want any painkillers are out?
34:07Do you want any painkillers are out?
34:23I'm fine.
34:23I'm fine.
34:24I just need to sit down.
34:30Tell you what, we're going to have a word with Dev.
34:32You should sue him.
34:34Sue him?
34:36Yeah.
34:37That mirror is cheap.
34:38It's dangerous.
34:39It's an accident waiting to happen.
34:40I'm not sure you want any painkillers are out.
34:42I'm not sure you want to go down that route.
34:45Why is that?
34:49Well, just...
34:51He's going to want to know exactly what happened.
34:56Which was?
34:57We were both here.
34:59Yeah.
35:01I know.
35:03Because I was the one that got the tea towel and put it on your wound and was fretting.
35:09Look, a mirror that size shouldn't just shatter with the slightest knock.
35:13Not in a rental.
35:14It's not suitable.
35:15It wasn't just a knock.
35:17What was it then?
35:19What are you trying to say?
35:21Because I feel like you're trying to use this to have a go at me.
35:24Well, just...
35:26It was a bit more force than that.
35:33I was trying to move you.
35:37You were pushing me and then you fell into it.
35:42Right?
35:42If you're trying to use this as some sort of excuse to accuse me of something, then I want to hear it.
35:50What happened, Todd?
35:52Go on then, what happened?
35:56I'm tired.
35:58Maybe I should have a couple of painkillers and have a lie down.
36:02It's been a bit of a day.
36:12You know, it was nice to see him.
36:34Well, you did well.
36:36A reassuring summer.
36:37At least I wasn't the one everyone was worrying about for once.
36:43No, it's clever.
36:45How the pieces kind of stick to the mat.
36:47Hmm.
36:49Makes it more portable.
36:50Yep.
36:53You know, maybe, um...
36:55Maybe it will be a good distraction.
36:58You know, the jigsaw, I mean.
37:01You know, it'll give me something to do when I come home.
37:03And I'm sure the others will come over.
37:07They'll be finished yet.
37:09If you want it.
37:13Hmm.
37:15Yeah.
37:17Yeah, that'd be nice.
37:18Intriguing.
37:29What is that?
37:31It's just somewhere warm and hot.
37:34Like me.
37:35Get over yourself.
37:37But I know, are they?
37:38Well, you know, I'm thinking about it.
37:40With or without our little girl?
37:42Because, obviously, she'd be perfectly fine here with me.
37:45But, if you're thinking of taking her, maybe I could come too.
37:50You know, I've saved up a bit.
37:52We could take it in turns to go partying.
37:53You know, I've only just started looking, James, so...
37:57Look, I'll let you know I'm going to have to decide, yeah?
37:59Yeah.
38:00Get off on.
38:01Right.
38:06What do you mean you're not doing a speech?
38:09I'll get another round in.
38:11Pack me up here, please, Cal.
38:13I mean, I'm not doing a speech.
38:16I thought you decided you would.
38:18I'll mess it up.
38:20You won't.
38:20I will.
38:21Oh, yeah.
38:22Oh.
38:23Oh, someone smells amazing.
38:25What aftershave's that?
38:26She's talking about you.
38:28Not aftershave, no.
38:29Just in a shower.
38:31Oh.
38:32Smells like aftershave to me.
38:34You're wrong.
38:34Well, you need to learn how to take a compliment.
38:37Either that or stop smelling too good, babes.
38:39What can I get you?
38:40So what if you mess things up?
38:41I'm a soda piece.
38:42Make mistakes.
38:44It shows people you can get things wrong and still be successful.
38:46It shows I'm incompetent.
38:49No.
38:51It shows that you're honest.
38:54Human.
38:56Fearless.
38:56That you can stand in your own truth.
38:59You know, give others the permission to fail.
39:01And let them know that I'm failing.
39:03You won't kill them.
39:06It's all part of the journey to success.
39:08Have you done this speech before?
39:10Often.
39:12To me under eights improv group.
39:15And if they can find a way to be fearless about messing things up,
39:20then you flaming well can.
39:22In fact, if you didn't mess things up, it'd be a wasted opportunity.
39:27All right.
39:34That's everything.
39:36All right, well, I guess I'll see you later.
39:39But, uh, if you want me to move out and all, then...
39:43No, right.
39:46No, of course I don't.
39:50Will you please tell Carla that I'd...
39:53Oh, I'd like to keep talking.
39:55Keep trying.
39:58I can say the words, mate, but...
40:01Maybe it's for the best, you know?
40:23You're exhausted.
40:24You both are.
40:26It's just all got so extreme.
40:28I don't understand.
40:30So maybe she needs to go somewhere else to reset and...
40:34You know, you need to be taken care of.
40:37By someone who knows what you need.
40:43Yeah.
40:45More than I do.
40:50More wine.
40:50Maybe.
40:56Becky, what are you doing?
41:00I...
41:00I'm sorry, I just...
41:03I am in love with Carla.
41:08Sorry.
41:11I just hate seeing you hurting, and, um...
41:15I used to know how to comfort you.
41:18How to make you feel better.
41:19Not like that.
41:22Okay.
41:23Okay.
41:23Just pretend that never happened.
41:25You know, I...
41:26I can't help how I feel.
41:29But I will manage it.
41:32I will.
41:34Yeah, I'll do that.
41:37Because if there's any way I'm going to get Carla back...
41:41Then I'm there.
41:46I'm doing it.
41:47There you go.
42:04Thanks.
42:05Thanks.
42:16What?
42:21Nothing.
42:23Are you sure it looked like I had something to say?
42:25Well, it's...
42:30It's fine, I'll...
42:34No, no, sit, sit, please.
42:40I mean, it's just...
42:41It's cold.
42:45Oh.
42:45I was meant to.
42:49It's just...
42:51You know, with, um...
42:53With me having to cook you food and training you and...
42:57And, you know, watching you roll around half-naked and flirt with James on the floor and asking him to massage his leg.
43:05Just trying to...
43:05And then you tripping into the mirror, cutting yourself and expecting me to take you to hospital.
43:14And then, well, you know, coming home.
43:18And then you're accusing me of, um...
43:22What was it?
43:22Tripping you, assaulting you, or deliberately hurting you.
43:27Forgive me.
43:30For forgetting.
43:32To check the temperature of the meal that I made you with my elbow like I did all my other babies.
43:38Eat.
44:00Eat it.
44:08Eat it.
44:29Eat it.
44:30Eat it.
