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