00:00Pasta butter.
00:30I think you're missing a word there.
00:34Pass my butter.
00:38Thank you, you alright?
00:40No, my back's sore.
00:42That'll be because you've been scrunched up with Betsy all night.
00:44Right, alright, I just need some paint.
00:48At least you can have a rest today.
00:50Yep.
00:52She's a kicker, always was.
00:54No, not on purpose.
00:56Do you remember when she used to sneak into our bed
00:58in the middle of the night when she was little?
01:00My back would be black and blue by the morning.
01:03Yeah, but it was all worth it
01:05because you got to wake up to this beautiful face.
01:07We did.
01:09Oh, by the way, what we doing for Christmas?
01:11We?
01:12To be honest, I'm just glad to have both my mums with me on Christmas Day.
01:18And you, obviously too, Carla.
01:21Do you know what?
01:23I just want a giant turkey, Christmas crackers,
01:27no doubt you want some of mum's mince pies.
01:29Yeah, we'll see.
01:30I don't mind cooking up a feast.
01:32Right, well, we've got plenty of time to decide yet, don't we?
01:34You're not in a hurry, then, to go back to Spain?
01:38You know, Feliz Navidad and all that?
01:40I've had a change of heart, you know.
01:42I think I'll wait until the New Year.
01:44Like, nothing beats Christmas in Manchester
01:46and, you know, less Feliz Navidad
01:49and more a fairer tale of Weatherfield.
01:52Mm-hm.
01:53That's Carla's favourite Christmas song.
01:55Is it?
01:57It was Christmas Eve, baby, in the drunk tank.
02:03I'm actually going to Roy's for Christmas.
02:05Oh, are you in train spot us sipping sherry and playing Scrabble?
02:09Party!
02:10Well, that'll do.
02:14You three knock yourself out, though, eh?
02:16Enjoy it.
02:19Carla, wait.
02:23How come I don't get to do hair?
02:25Why am I always on shoes?
02:27Have you got any actual experience with hair?
02:30And what's that supposed to mean?
02:32Nothing.
02:36Well, maybe I could practice on Sally's
02:38and I could graduate to doing yours, eh?
02:40Oh, no chance.
02:41I'm pretty good with some hedge strimmers.
02:43We'd save a fortune at orders, wouldn't we, girls?
02:46Why do you think I sleep on a silk pillowcase?
02:49Actually, girls, I needed your advice
02:52because I'm organising the factory Christmas party this year
02:55and, as chief party planner, I need something very fabulous to wear.
03:00So, do you think I should have sparkles?
03:08Or do you think red velvet bow?
03:11I think bows are well last year.
03:15Do you, Stellan McCartney?
03:16Who's Stellan McCartney?
03:19I'm having a Christmas party, too, you know.
03:22Oh!
03:23What, at school?
03:24No. Here.
03:25Some friends are coming later for dinner.
03:28That's cool, innit?
03:30Yeah, that's cool.
03:31That's totally cool.
03:32That is so cool.
03:34Yeah.
03:35I'll get some party bits from Devs.
03:37Ta, come on, Shanice.
03:38I'll help you sort your butt bag out.
03:43Well, I'm dead chuffed for her.
03:45Yeah, me too.
03:47Looks like we might be getting a hang of this foster parent malarkey,
03:49doesn't it?
03:50Yeah.
03:55Oh, stop.
03:57Stop what you're doing.
03:58What, picking up glasses?
03:59Oh, it's so loud.
04:01Well, Penn, at the rate you're going,
04:03we're not going to be ready for opening, are we?
04:05I'll just, er...
04:07I'll just need to lay down somewhere.
04:09Anywhere.
04:11Oh!
04:16Oh, you're a cruel, cruel mistress.
04:18Yes, I am.
04:22Would you look at the stage of this place?
04:25Yep, we're on it, Macbeth.
04:26Doesn't look like that to me.
04:28It looks like you were doing something no mother should be witness to.
04:32Canoodling.
04:33Oh, please don't use that word, Macbeth.
04:35Well, why don't you take your mind off it and help us clean up?
04:38Now, I would, but my knees don't bend like they used to.
04:42Look, see?
04:44I can...
04:45I can't even reach that stain on the ground there.
04:48Oh, that's a shame.
04:49Yeah, I really came in to see if everyone would like a bacon barm each.
04:53Keep your strength up.
04:54I could be persuaded.
04:55Eva?
04:56Oh, God, no.
04:57I love hers.
04:59Three bacon barms coming up.
05:01Laters.
05:05Babe.
05:06How?
05:07How is she not hungover?
05:09Oh, liver of steel, that one.
05:11And a heart.
05:12Eva.
05:13Well, I am entitled to my opinion.
05:15Play her nice.
05:16Well, that would be foolish when it comes to your mother, wouldn't it?
05:19By the way, she is hungover.
05:21She is just not foolish enough to let anybody see the truth.
05:31I thought you might start speaking today.
05:34I know, love.
05:35I just...
05:37I miss him so much.
05:39I know, sweetheart.
05:41Listen.
05:43He's breathing on his own.
05:45That's a start.
05:47He wasn't even meant to be working any more.
05:49He should be retired.
05:51September was the plan, wasn't it?
05:53Why didn't he just retire like he said he would?
05:55Then we'd all be in the lakes by now.
05:56Enough now.
05:58Can I help you?
06:00Oh.
06:01Hi.
06:02Hi.
06:03Nice to see you again.
06:04Kit.
06:06You worked with Dad.
06:08Diay Costello is my boss.
06:12This is my mum.
06:14Pleasure to meet you.
06:16You two have met before?
06:18Well, only ages from passing.
06:20Why don't you go back in?
06:21Be with Dad.
06:23Bye.
06:24Bye.
06:27It's really good of you to come, but...
06:32...now's really not a good time for visitors.
06:34Yeah.
06:35Oh, of course.
06:37I didn't know the boss was planning on retiring.
06:41The lakes.
06:42Very nice.
06:44Thanks again for popping by, but...
06:46...I really need to be with my husband and daughter.
06:58Fine-looking fella, aren't you?
07:01Er...
07:03Thanks.
07:04Oh.
07:05Don't get your undies in a twist.
07:07Are you going to tell me that I can't see that sort of thing now?
07:10I...
07:11I was...
07:12I just wasn't expecting it, that was all.
07:13Not even had his breakfast yet.
07:14Yeah, exactly.
07:15Not gonna goose me again, are you?
07:17Just jesting with you.
07:19Jealous even.
07:20Young love.
07:21It's a wonderful thing.
07:23Yeah, well, I think love might be a bit strong for this early in the day.
07:26Well, it is never too early.
07:29You grab that girl and show her all the love that you've got.
07:33Here, one tea, one...
07:34Saucy.
07:35Thanks, Roy.
07:36Yeah.
07:37See ya.
07:38Bye.
07:39Yeah.
07:40Did you enjoy my party last night?
07:42Oh, very much so.
07:43Thank you, sir.
07:44Even though you snuck away early?
07:46Oh, apologies, sir.
07:48I think you were just lucky I didn't see you leaving.
07:51Er...
07:52Why is that?
07:53Because I don't appreciate people not doing what I say.
07:57Especially on my birthday.
07:59You didn't even give me a chance to read your card.
08:02No, that's not really mine.
08:03Oh, there's a card for everyone.
08:06Perhaps I shall give you a private reading?
08:09Er...
08:10Perhaps.
08:11Oh.
08:13Oh, no.
08:14Put them in the bin, please.
08:17I've been sending you love letters, eh, Roy?
08:19It is not a love letter.
08:21It...
08:22It is correspondence from a woman called Alice.
08:27So, a love letter, then?
08:29I'm only messing, Roy.
08:31King of Hearts?
08:32I beg pardon?
08:33Perhaps that's what I'll see when I read your cards.
08:38Bye for now.
08:39Yes.
08:40I'll sit down, bye.
08:41Bye-bye.
08:42Good hearty breakfast.
08:43Mm-hmm.
08:44That's what I needed after the morning we've had.
08:45Shh!
08:46People will hear you.
08:47Mm-hmm.
08:48They're going to be jealous.
08:49Two sex machines in there, Prime.
08:50Sex machine?
08:51Mm-hmm.
08:52Don't you limit, Mr. Handsome.
08:53Mm-hmm.
08:54Mm-hmm.
08:55Mm-hmm.
08:56They're going to be jealous.
08:57Mm-hmm.
08:58Two sex machines in there, Prime.
08:59Sex machine?
09:00Mm-hmm.
09:02Don't you limit, Mr. Handsome.
09:04Mm-hmm.
09:05Mm-hmm.
09:06Mm-hmm.
09:07Oh.
09:08So lovely to see you with a big smile on your face again.
09:11After all your pining for Todd.
09:13I'm not pining for him.
09:15I'm not.
09:16Mm-hmm.
09:17Look, very simple, right?
09:20You miss Todd.
09:22So, go and see Todd.
09:24Oh.
09:25Excuse me.
09:30Eileen calling me back.
09:32What does she want?
09:33Eyelash.
09:34Hey, you!
09:35Just one minute, love.
09:37I'll catch you in the pub later for a drink, all right?
09:39Excuse me.
09:40You haven't told me I'd answer my question.
09:42No.
09:43I'm just in Rose, love, having me breakfast.
09:44Yeah.
09:49Oh, I'm so sorry, Ronnie.
09:51I can't believe I did that.
09:54Yeah.
09:55Just check.
09:56Okay.
09:57I'm really sorry.
09:59Yeah.
10:00Bye, darling.
10:01Bye.
10:05Hey, what's happened?
10:09Oh, I've messed up big time.
10:11With what?
10:12Well, you know what?
10:13I booked my wedding for 2026, next year.
10:17Well, I've only got to book the venue for 2027.
10:21That's the year after.
10:25Why doesn't microwave wine have the same ring to it as mulled wine?
10:29What do you mean?
10:30It does.
10:31I mean, why aren't we at the actual Christmas markets?
10:33Oh, I've made it now.
10:34Drink up.
10:36It's hot.
10:37Yeah.
10:38Do you know what?
10:39It's actually all right.
10:40Would I give you anything less?
10:45I'll get it.
10:50Best mulled wine ever, right?
10:52Yeah.
10:58Oh, hiya.
11:00I really need to speak to you.
11:02Right, come in.
11:07Afternoon.
11:09Afternoon.
11:11And what is it?
11:13Come on, you don't have to hide anything from us.
11:22You do know it's a day off.
11:23Yeah, sorry about that.
11:24Actually, you might be able to help us.
11:25Oh, yeah?
11:26With what?
11:27Well, I just found out Costello was planning on retiring in September.
11:29Really?
11:30So you never knew about it either?
11:32No, never.
11:34Nothing about going to the lakes?
11:36The lakes?
11:37No.
11:38So, who told you that?
11:40No.
11:41No, never.
11:43Nothing about going to the lakes?
11:45The lakes?
11:46No.
11:47So, who told you that?
11:48No.
11:49I overheard his wife and daughter talking in the hospital.
11:52When are you going to retire and buy us all the place in the lakes?
11:53Yeah, pipe down, Betts.
11:54Rude.
11:55Why wouldn't he tell us?
11:57Doesn't make sense.
11:59It's private information.
12:00He's every right to keep it to himself.
12:01Yeah, but he would have told us something like that.
12:02He just would have.
12:03Right?
12:05Well, yeah.
12:06I would have thought so.
12:08So, what's your plan, Kit?
12:10My plan's to keep digging.
12:12All right.
12:13Well, yeah.
12:14I would have thought so.
12:15So, what's your plan, Kit?
12:16My plan's to keep digging.
12:18Right, and you'll let us know if you find anything, right?
12:22Yeah.
12:23Absolutely.
12:24Cheers.
12:35There you go.
12:36Sweet tea.
12:37Get it down with you.
12:38Pull up with the shock.
12:39Don't try it.
12:42Try what?
12:43Do you think that tea's gonna make up for the mighty mess ship cost between my two brothers?
12:47Debbie, the business with the wedding booking's got nothing to do with that.
12:50No.
12:51No, she's right.
12:52One cup of tea ain't gonna solve anything.
12:55But know this, Deb.
12:56I will always see you as a sister.
12:59Even if you don't see me as one.
13:05Oh, it's Ronnie.
13:07I can't get that.
13:08You'll have to answer that.
13:09Okay.
13:13Hiya, Ronnie.
13:14It's called.
13:15What's the latest, mate?
13:19Right.
13:20Right, I see.
13:22Okay.
13:23Yeah, I'll tell her.
13:25Cheers, mate.
13:27Right.
13:28Please tell me this is a bad dream and that's your joke face.
13:30And you're about to say it's all sorted.
13:32It's all fine and dandy.
13:34Afraid not.
13:38Really sorry, Deb.
13:40But we'll find you another venue.
13:42I don't want another venue.
13:44I want that one.
13:45I want our first dance together.
13:49Out on that beautiful balcony.
13:52To our favourite song.
13:59What is our favourite song?
14:03I don't...
14:04What's our song?
14:05I can't remember it.
14:06It doesn't matter.
14:07It does matter.
14:08It does.
14:09That's...
14:10That's our song when we...
14:11When we had our first night together.
14:14That...
14:15It really well does matter.
14:21La, la...
14:24La, la, la, la...
14:25La, la, la, la...
14:26La, la, la, la, la...
14:28Your love is king.
14:29Crown me in your heart.
14:42Your love is king.
14:47Never need to part.
14:51That's our song.
14:52Your love is king.
14:57That's mine and Ronnie's song.
15:11Ben, how long have you been those hot pots?
15:14Two minutes.
15:14Erm, Lauren, can I have a word whilst you're here, please?
15:17Great. What have I done now?
15:18No, you're not saying anything.
15:19We just wanted to say that we're sorry for what happened with Will.
15:23All right.
15:24Well, it's all right.
15:26I've had a word with him.
15:27He's going to apologise the next time he sees you, so...
15:30Right, look, I don't want things to be awkward between us all.
15:32I love working here.
15:33No, don't be daft.
15:34Listen, it's totally fine.
15:37Oh, it's you.
15:38Right, Lauren's here.
15:40I think there's something you'd like to say to her.
15:43What?
15:44Would you put your phone away and pretend for one second that you weren't dragged up?
15:47Look, Will, I just think we should forget about what happened.
15:51About, you know...
15:53Yeah.
15:56Oh, come on, Will.
15:58She's offering you an olive branch here.
15:59Can you just agree and say you're sorry?
16:03I'm sorry.
16:09Embarrassed.
16:09Well, so he should be.
16:10Well, you don't mess about, do you?
16:39Well, it's not even dark, yeah.
16:42Well, you're a nephrologist now, yeah?
16:45I thought you were a backstreet copper.
16:46Many talents, me.
16:48But if you had, you'd know I'm allowed to drink in moderation.
16:53Anyway, I found something out about Costello.
16:55What?
16:56Well, he was planning on retiring, but he changed his plans.
17:00And?
17:01Well, they changed his plans about the same time Becky rocked up.
17:05It's a bit of a coincidence, don't you think?
17:10So, what you're saying is that we were right.
17:13We've been in this together.
17:15It's looking more and more likely every day.
17:18You know, I told Lisa right in front of Becky.
17:20What does she have to say for herself?
17:22Oh, she played dumb.
17:23But I've had enough experience with round dodgy coppers to know
17:26that something's not right.
17:33Right, can you go now, please?
17:35You really didn't need to walk me home.
17:37We wanted to.
17:38Let's put Cal on first.
17:41Right, well, if you stop him, take your shoes off.
17:44I'm going to have to cancel my wedding, aren't I?
18:00No chance.
18:02No, listen, we are going to do everything we can
18:04to find you your dream venue.
18:06Another one, an even dreamier one.
18:09It's no good.
18:10No, it'll be great.
18:12Why would you say that?
18:14What, I just...
18:15I just.
18:16I just.
18:17I just nowt.
18:18You know nothing.
18:21When's the next availability at that place, eh?
18:24Two years?
18:26Two years.
18:29Ronnie might be marrying someone else by then.
18:32And where will I be, eh?
18:38Who will I be?
18:41Deb.
18:44Hey.
19:01Look, I'm really sorry about me and Lauren.
19:07What, your mum and you kissed her?
19:08Well, tried to, but didn't, actually.
19:12But you wanted to.
19:14I didn't.
19:15I didn't really, but...
19:18Look, all I want, all I ever want, is to be with you.
19:22Oh, come on.
19:25Can we just forget it?
19:26Please.
19:27It's my birthday.
19:31It's not your birthday.
19:33It will be soon.
19:34You know, have you got anything special, Paul?
19:39Maybe we'll just have to wait and see.
19:41I've gone a bit overboard.
19:47No.
19:49I've even got a ham and gruyon wreath over there.
19:51Well, that's all down to you, because I'm telling you, they don't sell that at Deb's.
19:54Yeah, well, who cares?
19:55It's Christmas!
19:56Yeah.
19:56It's Christmas!
19:58Hi, girls.
20:00Come and have a look at what we've got.
20:01Oh, my days.
20:02Looks like an actual proper party.
20:04Of course it does.
20:05So, why don't you two go upstairs and get changed?
20:09There might be two new Christmas party frocks on your beds.
20:12Oh, my days.
20:22Hey, you're up.
20:31Erm, what's the latest?
20:33I'm quick, but I'm not that quick.
20:36Yeah, it's blown my mind, all this.
20:38I bet.
20:40Should I be worried, you reckon?
20:41About?
20:42About everything.
20:43Should I be laying low?
20:45Well, it's probably for the best.
20:47I reckon I should be keeping an eye on you two.
20:50Given these thugs knocking around, beating up police officers.
20:54Understood.
20:56Well, if you need me, I'll be decorating Christmas cookies with our Lisa and Betsy.
21:01It's mad how it's the small, simple things you miss.
21:04Just been to see Carla.
21:06Oh, really?
21:07Yeah, she's nicking scotch like a bottle of water.
21:10Look, she's saying she really wants to see Lisa.
21:14Okay, well, I'll tell her.
21:16Good.
21:18Anyway, laters.
21:19See ya.
21:20Good.
21:20Good.
21:21Good.
21:21Good.
21:23Good.
21:23Alright.
21:55Was Christmas Eve, babe, in a drunk tank?
22:19What are you doing here?
22:22Kit told me you were in a bad way.
22:24Drowning your sorrows.
22:26Getting plastered.
22:28What have I done?
22:30I thought I'd do the decent thing and make sure you weren't passed out somewhere.
22:35It's got nothing to do with you.
22:39I want to see Lisa.
22:40I think you should stay away from her while you're like this.
22:42But I think you should mind your own business.
22:46It is my business.
22:47Lisa's under a lot of stress and she does not need you adding to it.
22:50Two weeks.
23:03Canary Islands.
23:05What about it?
23:05I booked it a couple of days ago.
23:11Got no use for it now, have I?
23:14That's very thoughtful of you.
23:16Yeah, well...
23:17I am very thoughtful.
23:22That's why I want to see Lisa.
23:24Not to give her this.
23:27No.
23:34Tell her I'm giving up.
23:35You've won, Becky.
23:43So have you got any more of those love letters then, Roy?
23:46Oh, what's this?
23:48It's a private matter.
23:51And I have been assured that any correspondence is entirely devoid of romantic intent.
23:58A girlfriend.
23:59Not a girlfriend.
24:00Who writes saucy letters.
24:03Are you blushing?
24:06With fury.
24:09Oh, hello, George.
24:11Hi.
24:11Yeah, it's Christina.
24:13The woman you were meant to be meeting today.
24:14Yeah, I hope you've got a very good reason for inflicting this utter humiliation upon me.
24:21Yeah, I just need to cancel the flowers.
24:25So, can you refund the money to my card?
24:30Oh.
24:31Right, you don't do refunds.
24:35Well, there's a surprise.
24:38Yes, you have a lovely day as well.
24:40Mm-hmm.
24:44For nothing.
24:47Enjoy spending my moolah.
24:53Debbie, it's me.
24:55Elaine.
24:56Can you give me a ring, please?
24:59When you come.
25:06Oh.
25:06You want one of these, because I've got a spell glass here.
25:31Uh, no.
25:33Uh, I need to get going and get released with the news.
25:36Hold on.
25:37Come on.
25:38One second.
25:41Well played.
25:43Got what you wanted.
25:45Yeah, it's not about that.
25:46I'm not playing games.
25:48Oh, come on.
25:48Of course you were.
25:49This is what you wanted.
25:52You won.
25:56Yeah.
25:57Okay.
25:57It is what I wanted, actually.
25:59Yeah.
26:00What if, um,
26:04what if she'd have picked me?
26:08I wouldn't have given up, because I love her.
26:11Well, what, she didn't want you?
26:13Well, she'd have seen sense eventually.
26:15You know, we're meant to be together.
26:17So you'd have forced her to love you?
26:20If that's how you want to put it, yeah.
26:24So I had no chance then, did I?
26:26No.
26:27Not really.
26:29And I think it's probably best if you stay away from number six now.
26:32But that's my house.
26:36Well, Lisa needs to move on.
26:38Reconnect with her family.
26:41And with you hanging around, that's not going to help, is it?
26:46Okay.
26:50Better yet, get yourself off to the Canaries.
26:53Two weeks on the beach will help you get over your break-up.
26:54And look on the bright side.
26:58You might meet somebody else.
27:00You should have been here half an hour ago.
27:15Well, there's still time.
27:17Yeah, it could be bad traffic.
27:19It is rush hour.
27:21They're not coming, are they?
27:23Oh, it's okay, love.
27:25We're here.
27:25Yeah.
27:27I thought you were my friends.
27:30Well, you're too good for them, that's what I say.
27:32Why would they lie, though?
27:34Well, sometimes kids can do that.
27:37Grown-ups, too.
27:38They just...
27:39They don't think.
27:42Look, you still have a nice time.
27:44We could play some board games if you want.
27:46No, Tim.
27:48She's a young girl.
27:49They don't play board games.
27:50That's not cool.
27:51Oh, right.
27:52Sorry.
27:53But we could get the karaoke out.
27:56We've got a karaoke in the loft.
27:57I really don't want to do karaoke, either.
28:00Can we watch Christmas film?
28:03Oh, that's a nice idea.
28:05I'm not in the mood.
28:09How'd you go on at school today, Shanice?
28:11I've got a sticker for good drawing.
28:13Ooh.
28:14And they've got girl behaviour.
28:17Ooh.
28:17Well done.
28:19I'm going to my room.
28:22OK, love, if that's what you want,
28:24then I'll, um...
28:25I'll bring you up a hot chocolate in a bit.
28:28And it's always a pleasure talking to you.
28:40You're a marvellous woman, Eileen.
28:42Caught you.
28:43Chrissie.
28:44What are you doing here?
28:47Um...
28:47This is Eileen Wilkins.
28:52Her husband has just passed.
28:54Oh.
28:55So we were discussing funeral arrangements.
28:58Oh.
29:00I'm...
29:00Oh, I'm so sorry.
29:03Um...
29:04Did you want something?
29:05Uh, no.
29:06No, no, no, not, not, not really.
29:08No, I'll just, um...
29:08You said you caught him.
29:11Uh, yes, I...
29:12I caught him.
29:13I caught him...
29:15working late.
29:17Cos he's...
29:18Do you know what?
29:18He's a workaholic, this one.
29:20Work, work, work.
29:21Busy BA.
29:22Hey.
29:33You all right?
29:34Yeah.
29:38You know, I saw you at the precinct before.
29:48With that Megan girl.
29:50Right.
29:53You two seem...
29:54close.
29:56Not really.
29:57She's just my coach.
30:00She's dead pretty, though, ain't she?
30:02If you say so, I hadn't...
30:03I hadn't noticed.
30:04Do you know what I just don't get?
30:10Why were you down the precinct with your sports coach?
30:13We were just talking about training.
30:14You know, nutrition.
30:18Seemed pretty intense to me, Will.
30:20Well, it wasn't, so...
30:22You need...
30:23You don't need to worry about it.
30:28Yeah.
30:29All right, then.
30:34All I'm saying is be careful.
30:36Yeah.
30:46What's wrong with the Polar Express?
30:48It's boring.
30:48Yeah.
30:50All right.
30:51Love, actually, then.
30:52Oh, it's too cringe.
30:53I know, I agree.
30:56Well, what do you want to watch, then?
30:57Oh, give it here.
30:58Die hard.
31:02Excellent choice, daughter.
31:05Seems appropriate, someone.
31:06Fair point.
31:13Hi, Colin.
31:15You all right?
31:16No, she's not.
31:17She's drunk.
31:18I'm not drunk.
31:19I'm not drunk.
31:20I was pretending to be drunk.
31:22I'm still on-call sober.
31:24All right, why were you pretending to be drunk?
31:26To catch this one out.
31:30Yeah, I had a lovely little chat with Lady Lazarus here earlier.
31:33She, uh...
31:34She told me some interesting stuff, didn't you?
31:40Merry Christmas.
31:41Merry Christmas.
31:41Look on the bright side.
32:00You might meet somebody else.
32:05What is it you please say?
32:07Bang to rights.
32:08Right, I don't know what it is you're actually trying to prove here.
32:10I'm trying to prove that you've deliberately been trying to split me and Lisa up.
32:15I don't deny that I love Lisa.
32:17I always have done.
32:18And, yeah, I wanted her back.
32:20There you go.
32:21She just admitted it.
32:22Again.
32:22I hoped you'd break up.
32:24I wanted my family that I'd lost.
32:25You chose to lose them.
32:28What about all the lies you've told to get here, eh?
32:30Yeah.
32:30I haven't lied.
32:31Yes, you have.
32:33All the people that are watching you, that are after you, you're scared.
32:36That isn't a lie.
32:37She is scared.
32:38Betsy, she is devious and dishonest.
32:40That colour, those mean the same thing.
32:42Did she tell you that you were meant to come and see me in the factory?
32:45Did she ask you to?
32:47No.
32:48Well, she was meant to.
32:50But instead, she came to see me, didn't you?
32:52That's manipulative.
32:53That's trying to keep us apart.
32:55Why didn't you tell me?
32:56I didn't want to stress you out having to see her in a state, you know, worked up and drunk.
33:00I wasn't drunk.
33:01Yeah, we know that now, don't we?
33:02That is weird, you know, pretending to be drunk and recording her.
33:05I was just trying to make you see who she is.
33:07Right, well, both of you just stop, all right?
33:10You've got to see what she's doing to us.
33:11No, enough.
33:12I've had it up to here with the pair of you, all right?
33:15I'm not some kind of prize to be won in a cracker.
33:18Have you took a war over someone else?
33:20Mum.
33:21Cup of tea?
33:39You think you're so clever, don't you?
33:43I've got to warn you I'm a stubborn cow.
33:46I'm going to find out what you are.
33:48Just what you've been up to.
33:56I am so sorry that I interrupted your meeting.
34:00No, actually, I'm glad you did.
34:02She's been here over there now.
34:03I mean, she's a lovely woman, but I was nodding off.
34:08I meant what I said there, you know, you were working very hard.
34:11Yeah, I've got no choice, have I, with Todd not here?
34:14Someone's got to do it.
34:15I know, but you're going to end up in one of your coffins if you're not careful, you.
34:18Yeah, well, at least I know they're good quality.
34:22Why did you get in touch with Eileen?
34:26To be honest, I'm worried about Todd.
34:29He's changed so much since he hooked up with Theo.
34:33What did she say?
34:36Seems happy enough.
34:38She speaks to him.
34:39Gets messages.
34:40No, I don't know.
34:44When I saw him the other day, he was very off.
34:48He's not quite himself.
34:49Hmm.
34:52I suppose if his mum thinks he's OK, then we have to take her word for it.
34:55Yeah, but all this worrying, it's not very good for you, is it?
34:57I can't help it, Chrissie.
34:59I care about the lad.
35:01Hmm.
35:01Well, if you are worried about it, you can always talk to me, can't you?
35:11I can't believe you got jealous.
35:14Of course I did.
35:15I know how much Eileen meant to you.
35:18Yeah.
35:19Yeah, that's true.
35:21It's all in the past now, though.
35:24I've moved on.
35:25I'm OK.
35:27Hmm.
35:28Hmm.
35:32Beautiful.
35:35Oh.
35:35What's the big to do?
35:36I've got stuff on.
35:37And what are you doing behind my bar?
35:39Er, we are celebrating, and we wanted you to join us.
35:42To toast the good news.
35:44Oh, you're not engaged, are you?
35:45Don't be daft.
35:47You're not pregnant.
35:48Calm down, it's not like that.
35:50We've taken the liberty of sorting you out a new wedding venue.
35:53Well, I've told you, I am not doing it in here.
35:55Monkford Hall.
35:56Monkford Hall?
35:57Mm-hmm.
35:58In Yorkshire?
36:00Yeah, you said it was one of your favourite options, right?
36:02Yeah, but we'd check that out, it's so expensive.
36:04Luckily, they had a cancellation in three weeks' time, and...
36:09..they're doing it for half price.
36:14Really?
36:15Yeah.
36:16Wow, that's amazing.
36:17I know, Carl's amazing.
36:19He's the one who made the call.
36:20So, get that down, yeah?
36:21I just need to pay a deposit, 3,000.
36:23I've done that OK?
36:24Yeah, no problem.
36:25Yeah, yeah, pay it now and take it out of the hotel account.
36:28Consider it done.
36:30Cheers!
36:30Cheers!
36:31Cheers!
36:31Oh, Mumford Hall.
36:34I like the cavalry one.
37:01Oh, no, no, no, lonely pup in a Christmas shop for me.
37:05Mm, that's so sad, you want some of...
37:07Uplifting, it's Christmas.
37:09Uplifting?
37:10The cavalry one's about people freezing to death in a war.
37:13Ho, ho, ho.
37:13Hey, don't look.
37:19See, Will keeps proper staring at us.
37:23Feels a bit weird.
37:26Actually, erm...
37:28I think he might have a crush on me.
37:33Oh, yeah.
37:36Yeah, that can be a tricky one.
37:37I know from the person of experience, trust me.
37:41Yeah.
37:42Do you want my advice?
37:44Yeah.
37:45Keep him at arm's length.
37:48Well, I can't back out of coaching him.
37:50He needs me.
37:51Especially after the house move, leave it all in his minutes.
37:57Well, then you just have to make it clear, won't you?
38:00You're just his coach.
38:02Nothing else.
38:05Yeah.
38:06Yeah, yeah, you're probably right.
38:07You all right?
38:16Yeah.
38:17I'm fine.
38:26Hey, don't eat all them volivants,
38:28cos I can use them for the factory Christmas party tomorrow.
38:31You know, rotten were them kids, letting her down like that?
38:33Poor Joni, she was heartbroken.
38:35Oh, you know what they can be like at that age.
38:37Children can be very cruel.
38:39Well, I've got a good mind to go into school tomorrow
38:41and have it out with them, let them know how mean they are.
38:43What, and you think that's a good idea?
38:45Yeah, I do.
38:46We know who they are.
38:46Let's embarrass them like they embarrass Joni.
38:48What, and humiliate her all over again?
38:50You'd probably get yourself arrested.
38:52What, so we just let it go,
38:53or do we let them get away with what they did?
38:56Unfortunately, yeah, I think we do.
38:58Might be upsetting, but Joni needs to learn for herself.
39:01Well, we should help her.
39:02Tim, and how do we do that?
39:06By charging into school and kicking off?
39:09Who said anything about charging?
39:11You know, I'm not being patronising, but...
39:14Here we go.
39:15You're a man, Tim.
39:17You don't understand teenage girls.
39:20I did all right with Faye.
39:22She got knocked up when she were 12.
39:24It wasn't my fault.
39:25Well, I'm not saying it is, but the point is,
39:27I've got more experience.
39:29You know, day in, day out with Rosie and Sophie.
39:32That makes you better than me, does it?
39:34No, it doesn't.
39:35I'm not saying that.
39:37But...
39:37You mean well, Tim, but you could make things worse.
39:42Well, it might make them better.
39:43Look, all those girls need
39:47is to have a good home life
39:50and they need to feel safe with us.
39:52Yeah, but...
39:53No buts.
39:54Now, stop eating the bubble buns
39:55and shove them in that Tupperware.
39:58Hey, Crystal.
40:07Hello.
40:08Hello, it's...
40:09It's Carl O'Connor.
40:12Okay, Lisa Swain's partner.
40:15Okay, stay with me.
40:18I'm sorry you're not well, okay?
40:21But I need some information.
40:24I think Becky Swain was behind your attack.
40:28She was.
40:33Okay.
40:35Okay, Coastal, stay with me.
40:36We need to prove that.
40:38We need to prove it.
40:39We need evidence.
40:40Where can we find that?
40:48Yeah?
40:48Yeah, Hill.
40:50What?
40:51Say again?
40:53Hill.
40:54Hill.
40:55Hill.
40:56No, I just want to pay a deposit for the wedding.
41:05Webster Bailey, yeah.
41:07Is Carl okay?
41:09Yeah, I can hold.
41:10You ready to go?
41:11Yeah, I'm just on the phone to the wedding planner.
41:13I'll meet you outside.
41:13No, I can't wait.
41:14No, no, no, it's fine.
41:15You go.
41:15I won't be long.
41:17Bye.
41:23Do you want the long card number?
41:26Yeah, and how much was it again?
41:28£1,000?
41:31Great.
41:31Yep.
41:34Comet.
41:35Dancer.
41:36Prancer.
41:40Yeah.
41:41Are there any more?
41:42Yeah.
41:43Obvious one.
41:44Who?
41:44Think of something red and glowing.
41:50Fireball?
41:51What?
41:52No, Rudolph.
41:54Oh, yeah.
41:56Well, actually, there was a reindeer called Fireball, but he just wasn't part of the main
42:04guy.
42:04Really?
42:05Yeah.
42:05You see, this is what I like about you.
42:07You're just full of interesting festive facts.
42:09Oh, so not the sparkling personality and keen intellect?
42:15Nah, it's definitely the festive facts.
42:17Right, OK.
42:20So, would you like to come up for a cup of euphemism?
42:29Oh, I'm not sure.
42:33I happen to have some really good decaf euphemism.
42:37Freshly ground.
42:40Oh, well then, that sounds lovely.
42:47Can I have oat milk in my euphemism?
42:52You can have whatever you want after that.
42:54Come on.
42:57Watch the step.
42:58Yeah.
42:59Oh, it's freezing.
43:00Come on.
43:00Woo!
43:03You sure?
43:04Hill and rhubarb.
43:06Yeah, but that's not hers.
43:09It was pretty hard to hear anything.
43:12What does that even mean?
43:14I don't know.
43:15It must be linked to Becky, because that's who I was talking about.
43:18Unless he was just high on his meds.
43:20Did seem quite out of it.
43:22Well, there's got to be something we're not seeing.
43:26Well, I don't know.
43:27It's like we're doing a jigsaw without the box missing, innit?
43:29Right, well, let's just keep digging.
43:31You know what?
43:35No.
43:36I don't know.
43:37Right, well, you can't give up now.
43:38Well, I can't be doing with it.
43:40It's exhausting, all of it.
43:41Right, well, we just need to push on, Carla.
43:43You know, we'll find the missing pieces.
43:47Look, I'm sorry.
43:47You do what you want, OK?
43:49Like I said, I've had enough.
43:50All right.
