00:00I'm in the bad books. So, Carla walks me into a trap, pretends to be drunk as a skunk, and I'm the one you're sulking at.
00:24No, I'm not sulking. I'm just sick of your games. You know, and I'm sick of being stuck in the middle. You and Carla, you and Betsy. Who made me referee?
00:34It was always going to be hard, breaking up with someone, even if she wasn't right for you.
00:38I will not take relationship advice from you. Not in Carla's house. Well, I'm in your half. Not anywhere.
00:47Yeah? The hospital said to bring personal stuff. Reminders of what he's got to live for.
01:00Gaffer always said she was her daddy's girl. I love Ambleside, me. Coniston. Is it? I don't know why I said Ambleside.
01:10I suppose that'll be the house hunting on hold. Not till he gets back on his feet.
01:15Who bought it last year? What, this place?
01:20Thanks for this. I'll tell Jerome you were asking after him.
01:24Yeah. Here we go.
01:32DC Green.
01:34Oh, I had to leave my lap. I'll charge you here.
01:40Oh, I've both set the hotel in with a scream.
01:42I'm just in the middle of a rather large and longish...
01:44Oh, OK, I'll wait, I'll wait.
01:48Oh, it's not here.
01:49Mrs Conner joined the planning committee at 12.51 hours.
01:53What? Not minuting anything.
01:55Party checklist. You said people could leave early so Falk had time to get doled up.
02:00If you don't believe me, Fizz was there. I believe you.
02:02Well, you've been a bit off radar lately.
02:06Was she going to say I'm Iraq back then?
02:08I think she was saying that, yeah.
02:09Here we are.
02:10One.
02:11Launcher order and...
02:13Cheers, Roy.
02:14See you under the glitter bar, Mrs C.
02:16Yeah.
02:20Maybe I should go off to Lanzarote by myself.
02:23To that hotel.
02:24Give me Eddie Wobble.
02:25You know, that hotel with Spenny could salvage something, couldn't I?
02:30Mm-hmm.
02:31Dream, hmm-hmm.
02:32What's that mean? Spit it out?
02:34Well, er...
02:36To leave home for a night after an argument is one thing.
02:40To go for a fortnight sends a completely different message.
02:45What?
02:46You scared me.
03:01You scared me.
03:03You're back.
03:04She's at the gym.
03:05Do you want something?
03:06Do I want something while I only just come home to, you know, where I live?
03:19Ouch.
03:20Mm-hmm.
03:21Ooh.
03:22Actually, if you are back, erm, the washing machine needs sorting and all my clothes are
03:27kind of smelly musty.
03:28Are they now?
03:30I'll ask Jeeves to have a look at it.
03:33Thanks.
03:34How long might she be at the gym?
03:36Honestly, no clue.
03:38But then again, I have no clue about anything.
03:42Like you.
03:43And her.
03:44Well, you made it pretty clear which side you're on that ain't mine.
03:53And not having a pop.
03:56Because I love you.
03:59I love you.
04:01And, you know, I'm glad that you've been able to give your mum a move on.
04:07It's a good thing, isn't it?
04:14Yeah.
04:17But, you know, your mum, Lisa, she's got a lot of battle scars.
04:27And, you know, when you fly the nest, I really want to make sure that she's okay.
04:34That's all.
04:36I'll take this stuff upstairs.
04:44Erm, can you ask Jeeves if he can help me with my coursework?
04:49Because it's due next Friday and I can't be bothered.
04:51Will do.
04:57Right.
04:58Go on.
04:59You're back.
05:00Never should have left.
05:09Company director, Miss Leah Costello.
05:23Laney NW Incorporated on the...
05:25Mini NW Incorporated on the...
05:27Carly, it's Kit.
05:28Ring me back as soon as you get this.
05:41The Costello's bought a house last year, Ravensgill on Coniston Lakefront, just shy of a million quid.
05:58You registered to a limited company with Leah as the director.
06:01Right?
06:02But just wait for the best bit.
06:03The company was incorporated in 2021 on the 17th of December.
06:08That's a week after Becky's death.
06:09It's a bit of a coincidence, eh?
06:12Just ring me back.
06:13Okay then.
06:14Ding ding, second's out, aren't you?
06:15I've not come to fang.
06:16I haven't.
06:17In fact, I...
06:19I was gonna jet off to Lanzarote but...
06:32Wow.
06:33Waste not one, eh?
06:35But I didn't.
06:36I didn't because I...
06:41because I know this is where I belong.
06:45At home with you.
06:49I love you.
06:52I think I always will.
07:00I love you too.
07:03Never stopped.
07:08I didn't think I was a needy person,
07:11but I guess I am with you.
07:17But, um,
07:18I was kind of hoping for
07:20some kind of sign
07:25of you
07:28to show me that
07:30this all is worth hanging on for.
07:36Do you ever wonder what it's like to be me?
07:39Do you think I really want to live like this?
07:41I just think we need to have each other's backs.
07:43Well, if you really had my back,
07:44then you would ease off a bit, wouldn't you?
07:47You'd have trusted me,
07:48but you don't.
07:50You just want to manage me like one of your machinists.
07:54That's not fair.
07:55You love me, Carla,
07:55but not in the way that I need right now.
07:57I'm sorry.
07:58How's that?
08:01It's difficult to explain.
08:02Well, try.
08:03Well, maybe with a bit more understanding.
08:05Lisa, I literally bend over backwards for you.
08:08I mean, I'm a mug,
08:09but I do it because
08:10it makes your life
08:11easier.
08:16Well, let's just admit it.
08:17We've seen the worst of each other
08:22and now we can't go back.
08:23I guess we can.
08:24Of course we can.
08:25Carla, we're chasing a dream, aren't we?
08:26What?
08:27And when we're apart,
08:28this all seems possible,
08:29but then as soon as we're back
08:30in the same room together,
08:31I mean, look at us.
08:33Look at us.
08:40I'm done.
08:42We're done?
08:42You're saying we're done,
08:45Lisa?
08:51Sorry.
08:52You're saying we're done?
09:22There we go.
09:23I thought we'd come and have had it.
09:26Oh, Mrs. Connor,
09:29are you missing Secret Santa?
09:30It's your turn.
09:31You have it, Kirk.
09:32It's just a mole, Beck.
09:35Hey, how did you know that?
09:36Pick me on me.
09:37Might be out.
09:39It's the Christmas party.
09:40I know.
09:41I've just got a bit to sort out here.
09:42Oh, you are going to come to the bistro
09:43later, though, aren't you?
09:45Maybe, yeah.
09:46Oh, canaries.
09:49Very nice.
09:50Nice little Christmas treat.
09:52Quite decided, yeah.
10:00Sorry, guys, do you mind if I just check?
10:01Oh, sorry, sorry, yeah.
10:03Canaries?
10:04I didn't know she liked birds.
10:07Carla, it's Kit.
10:08Bring me back as soon as you get this.
10:11Costello's bought an house last year,
10:12Ravensgill and Coniston Lake.
10:14Is that what you want?
10:21Sweetheart, none of this is what I really want,
10:24but we just can't keep having the same arguments
10:26over and over and over again.
10:28It's exhausting.
10:29Yeah.
10:31I'm not surprised.
10:33I'm gutted, obviously,
10:35but it's just, it's infuriating.
10:38Talking about me?
10:40No, not this time.
10:43Carla?
10:46What happened?
10:47Same thing that always happens.
10:53I'm sorry,
10:54but I'm sure you can reason with her.
10:57Oh, don't pretend like this
10:58isn't exactly what you wanted.
10:59That ship has sailed.
11:06I should have said plane.
11:08What do you mean?
11:09She'll be on her way to the airport now.
11:11She's going to Lanzarote.
11:13What, on her own?
11:18Merry Christmas, Lees.
11:22Maybe this is for the best.
11:24Yeah.
11:25Well, you would say that, wouldn't you?
11:26Forget about me and you.
11:27Look, this whole thing is seriously stressing you out.
