00:00MUSIC
00:18Which ones are like this?
00:20That one?
00:22Come on, eat up, otherwise they'll have no energy for playtime.
00:25Playtime?
00:26Well, recess, hanging out time, whatever.
00:29No one to hang out with?
00:31Well, they'll be nicer girls at school.
00:34There's still time yet, you don't break up till next week, do you?
00:37Yeah!
00:38You could invite them round over Christmas, the nice girls, not the mean ones.
00:42Right, Missy, what do you think?
00:44This sparkling dress and which shoes?
00:47These, okay.
00:49Oh, these?
00:50Oh!
00:51They're booties!
00:53Christmas is going to be rubbish. Mum locked up.
00:56Well, you'll see, eh? Not on Christmas Day.
00:59Well, we could take you to visit, couldn't we?
01:02Yeah.
01:03Did you hear that?
01:04Oh, is that the time?
01:05Right, come on, bling off.
01:06Hands, wash, teeth, brush.
01:08Shoes off!
01:09Yeah.
01:10Come on, then.
01:11Chop, chop.
01:12What do you say that for?
01:13It might be bought up.
01:14Bought up?
01:15It's not La Mis.
01:16It's not La Mis.
01:20You can.
01:21Oh, you're an absolute legend.
01:22Thank you so much.
01:23I've got to go.
01:24All right, I'll see you later.
01:25Thanks.
01:26Bye, bye.
01:27Who's that?
01:28No one.
01:29Oh, I want you home by, er, after three today.
01:31No later.
01:32You're joking, aren't you?
01:34Got Ellen Bounds in.
01:35A quarter for a curly blow.
01:36You know what she's like.
01:37No, no, it's fine.
01:38Audrey's covering.
01:39Actually, make it 20 past three.
01:40That way you can freshen the old coffee breath.
01:44Well, I'm down, I promise.
01:46Am I?
01:48Does Gran know that she's covering for her little afternoon delight?
01:53Oh, don't be late.
01:59So, what's it to be?
02:01Fireworks or turtle doves?
02:04Both.
02:05Hmm.
02:06That might be a little bit tacky.
02:08Er...
02:09OK, well, turtle doves are better for the environment, so, you know.
02:12Yes, but fireworks don't plop on your head.
02:16Hmm.
02:17Fireworks.
02:18Will you, er, tell the planner?
02:20Yep.
02:21Great.
02:25Er, you crack on and get off.
02:26Oh, how long will you be?
02:28Er, not long.
02:29The council will block the, er, development, even though it's on a brownfield site.
02:32Right, well, I'll call her now.
02:33Oh, the poor girl.
02:35Her heart sinks every time she sees it's from me.
02:38Oh, rearrange the wedding, Debbie.
02:40In three weeks, Debbie.
02:41Yes, of course, Debbie.
02:42Anything you say, Debbie.
02:45She adores you.
02:47We all do.
02:49Love you.
02:50Love you too.
02:51Love you, love you, love you.
02:52Love you.
02:53Hurry up.
02:54All right.
02:55Here you go.
03:06There you go.
03:07It works.
03:26Hey!
03:29It's my favourite wedding planner.
03:31Yeah, I was just about to call you.
03:35Well, you know when I said we wouldn't be doing anything else now regarding the wedding?
03:40Yeah?
03:42I lied.
03:48Hiya.
03:49I'm in the bad books.
03:50So, Carla walks me into a trap, pretends to be drunk as a skunk and I'm the one you're sulking at.
04:08No.
04:09I'm not sulking.
04:12I'm just sick of your games.
04:14You know, and I'm sick of being stuck in the middle.
04:16You and Carla.
04:17You and Betsy.
04:19Who made me referee?
04:20It was always going to be hard, breaking up with someone.
04:22Even if she wasn't right for you.
04:23I will not take relationship advice from you.
04:26Not in Carla's house.
04:28Well, I'm in your half.
04:32Not anywhere.
04:38Yeah, yeah.
04:40Do you know the six root causes of clutter and how to tackle it, Roy?
04:44I can't say the verge of it, no.
04:46Don't be getting into decluttering.
04:47You might get a taste for it.
04:49With my addictive personality, yeah.
04:50I might decal to you.
04:51Then where would you be?
04:53I'm sick of staring at the same four walls.
04:56Yeah, no way.
04:57Oh, thanks, Roy.
04:59Right, we'll have a frothy coffee for his lordship.
05:01I'll get these in, Roy, and Fizz sure don't want anything else.
05:04A couple of sticky buns.
05:05Girls will wolf them down if you don't.
05:06We can run to a couple of coffees.
05:09Ty.
05:11Cheers.
05:12Sorry.
05:13He's been on the phone all morning, trying to chase the police about the accident.
05:17It wasn't an accident.
05:18Get the hit and run.
05:20Five unreturned calls, I've had.
05:22And don't say no news is good news.
05:24You'll still get compensation, though.
05:26Yeah, we should do, but it's going to take yonks, so we're still going to be out of pocket.
05:30Yeah, it's not compensation you want, though, is it?
05:33You want justice, right?
05:34Yeah, exactly.
05:40There's the stuff here, Leah.
05:42The hospital said to bring personal stuff.
05:46Reminders of what it's got to live for.
05:48Gaffer always said she was her daddy's girl.
05:54I love Ambleside, me.
05:55Coniston.
05:57Is it?
05:58I don't know why I said Ambleside.
06:01I suppose that'll be the house hunting on hold.
06:04Not till he gets back on his feet.
06:05We bought it last year.
06:07This place?
06:10Thanks for this.
06:12I'll tell Jerome you're asking after him.
06:14Yeah.
06:15D.C. Green.
06:16Can you pass me some more envelopes, please?
06:31Okay.
06:32No flies on you, Debs.
06:33Yes.
06:36Well, there's one here that's killing me.
06:38I know you said you wanted fireworks, but Deb, um...
06:42Well, just let me explain myself.
06:44Abby ripped the family apart.
06:46Oh? Blaming the woman now, are we?
06:48I'd better get to work.
06:49Whatever her reasons, Jack and Alfie lived like brothers.
06:53Now they're split too, you know?
06:56Do you not think I've fretted over this?
06:59If the wedding was like a year away once the dust is settled,
07:02but it's next month.
07:04Deb, you have?
07:06Do not be saying this is my illness talking.
07:09Okay, okay.
07:10Kevin won't stand for it, and we shouldn't ask him to, either.
07:15Yeah, but we are where we are.
07:17It's not just some one-night stand, is it?
07:20They're living together.
07:22And Abby did help find the venue for us.
07:25Car's gonna want her there by his side.
07:28So you want Carl there more than Kevin?
07:29No!
07:31That's what this is saying.
07:33I want both of them there, walking me down the aisle.
07:39Oh, Ronnie.
07:42This wedding, it's about us, isn't it?
07:45Eh?
07:47Me and you.
07:49It's a celebration of our life together.
07:52Now, let's have it right.
07:54Kevin and Carl, they're grown-ups, aren't they?
07:57Are you telling me they're not going to just be civil with each other for one day?
08:02One day?
08:04Well, surely they can do that.
08:06Yeah?
08:07For me?
08:12What? I had to leave my laptop to charge you here.
08:15Oh, I've loved it at the hotel with a scream.
08:17I'm just in the middle of a rather large, lumpish border.
08:19Oh, okay, I'll wait, I'll wait.
08:23Oh, it's not here.
08:24Mrs Connor joined the planning committee at 12.51 hours.
08:27What?
08:28You hear that?
08:29Not minutes in anything.
08:31Party checklist.
08:32You said people could leave early so folk had time to get doled up.
08:35If you don't believe me, Fizz was there.
08:36I believe you.
08:37Well, you've been a bit of a rap, er, off radar lately.
08:41Was she going to say I'm a rap bag then?
08:42I think she was saying that, yeah.
08:44Here we are.
08:46Launcher order.
08:47And...
08:48Cheers, Roy.
08:49See you under the glitter bar, Mrs C.
08:55Maybe I should go off to Lanzarote by myself.
08:57To that hotel.
08:59Give me a head a wobble.
09:00You know, that hotel with Spenny could salvage something, couldn't I?
09:05D'you mean...
09:07What's that mean? Spit it out?
09:09Well, er...
09:11To leave home for a night after an argument is one thing.
09:14To go for a fortnight sends a completely different message.
09:20What?
09:41Oh, come on, pick a side.
09:44Daddy's home and there's a party in his...
09:50Oh, no, he really does not know.
09:51Surprise!
09:53What are you lot doing here?
09:55We'll read the room.
09:56Yeah, literally.
09:57We're having a baby shower.
09:59Since when?
10:00Since this week when she had the brainwave.
10:02Yeah, careful, they're lethal.
10:04But more-ish.
10:05A toast.
10:07To our little fighter.
10:09Aw.
10:10Cheers.
10:11Cheers.
10:12Hey.
10:17Did you switch the hot water on?
10:20Because flipping Kirk spilled a whole sachet of vinegar down me.
10:25I just rung the prison.
10:28No visiting on Christmas Day.
10:30Well, it's full.
10:31Mm-hm.
10:32They don't do it anymore.
10:33They can't get the step.
10:34People want to be at home with their families.
10:36Go on.
10:37Say it.
10:39Told you so.
10:41Well, you meant well.
10:43Don't be nice to me, Tim.
10:44I'm an idiot.
10:46First rule of parenting is don't promise something you can't deliver.
10:52Well, the kids will understand.
10:54No, they won't.
10:55They're going to be devastated.
10:56Yet another adult who's let them down.
10:59Why don't you go and run a bath and I'll bring you a nice glass of wine?
11:04No, I'm not swanning off to some party.
11:07Well, you organised it.
11:09What, break their hearts and then waltz off in sequins?
11:13Well, we'll tell them tomorrow.
11:16One more night work, will it?
11:17No, Tim.
11:18This is my mess.
11:20And I need to be here to mop it up.
11:24Me own sister's wedding.
11:25I don't need an invitation.
11:28How did you expect me to invite you then, eh?
11:31WhatsApp?
11:32Well, it can fight for attention along with all three of me Christmas cards.
11:37One of them's off the dentist.
11:39I'm still going to need you to RSVP me.
11:42For the caterers.
11:43Yeah, I'm coming.
11:44Of course I'm coming.
11:47What, you want him to walk you down the aisle?
11:51Well, even I'll admit, he'll look better on the photos.
11:55No, it's, erm...
11:57It's not that.
11:59I wanted to ask you...
12:03Can I put Abby on the invitation?
12:07Carl's invitation is plus one.
12:10Well, it must have crossed your mind.
12:11No.
12:14Kev, they're living together.
12:15It's not just some flash in the pan.
12:17And you're me only sister, mind you.
12:20He's always been your blue eye.
12:21No, he hasn't.
12:22I love both of you.
12:24I can't.
12:26Well, just think about it.
12:28Yeah?
12:29I mean, I don't know how much longer my memory's going to last.
12:36Don't.
12:37Don't use the dementia.
12:39How can I not?
12:41It's one day.
12:43A few hours out of your life.
12:45No!
12:46It'll be hell.
12:47A lot can change in a month.
12:50You might have met someone by then.
12:53I know it's unfair, Kev, but life is unfair.
12:56Right, do you know what I'm going to do?
12:59I'm going to beg you.
13:01Kevin.
13:03Please come.
13:05Please come to my wedding.
13:07For me?
13:09Kevin, please!
13:12Go ahead.
13:14Invite her.
13:17But don't expect me there.
13:38You scared me.
13:53You scared me.
13:59You're back.
14:02She's at the gym.
14:04You want something?
14:06Do I want something but only just...
14:09...come home to, you know, where I live?
14:12Ouch.
14:13Mm-hmm.
14:15Ooh.
14:16Actually, if you are back, the washing machine needs sorting.
14:19All my clothes are kind of smelly musty.
14:22Are they now?
14:24I'll ask Jeeves to have a look at it.
14:26Thanks.
14:27How long might she be at the gym?
14:30Honestly, no clue.
14:32But then again, I have no clue about anything.
14:36Like you.
14:38And her.
14:42Well, you made it pretty clear which side you're on that ain't mine.
14:46And not having a pop.
14:50Because I love you.
14:52I love you.
14:54And, you know, I'm glad that you've been able to forgive your mum and move on.
14:59It's a good thing.
15:01Isn't it?
15:07Yeah.
15:10But, you know, you...
15:12...your mum, Lisa...
15:14...she's got a lot of battle scars.
15:17And, you know, when you fly the nest, I really want to make sure that she's okay.
15:26That's all.
15:27I'll take this stuff upstairs.
15:29Erm...
15:31Can you ask Jeeves if he can help me with my coursework?
15:32Because it's due next Friday and I can't be bothered.
15:33Will do.
15:35Right.
15:37Go on.
15:38Go on.
15:39Go on.
15:40Go on.
15:41Go on.
15:42Go on.
15:44Go on.
15:46Go on.
15:49Go on.
15:53Get back.
15:55Never should have left.
15:57It's Jalen in number five.
16:00Oh, sorry, Gary, love, you're not on there.
16:02Oh, yeah.
16:03If we'd have had more time we would have asked Anna.
16:05Don't worry.
16:06Oh, sorry, Gary, love, you're not on there.
16:07Oh, yeah. If we'd have had more time, we would have asked Anna.
16:10Don't worry about it. Get in!
16:12I mean, that's not even me.
16:14Yeah, it is!
16:15It's Nick. I mean, there's no baby pictures of me.
16:19Third child syndrome, innit?
16:21That a thing.
16:22Aw, well, your third child's gonna have photographs taken over 24-7.
16:27You've been in one of these before?
16:29No.
16:29No, that's women's stuff, innit?
16:32A bit like, er, bottomless brunch.
16:35But, what do I know? I'm just a caveman, according to Maria.
16:40Right.
16:41Oh, no, no, no, don't be bending.
16:43No, don't be doing that.
16:45So, what does the winner get?
16:47Er, godmother.
16:48Why not?
16:49Well, I'm winning, then. I'm winning this.
16:51OK.
16:52Was there any wonder she wanted to keep it as a surprise?
16:55What's up with your face?
16:57What's up?
16:58What do you not think we deserve a bit of fun?
17:02After finding out, the baby's at risk.
17:03All right.
17:05She's a baby first.
17:06She's Iris second.
17:08Is this Nick's doing?
17:09Mr. Doom and Gloom.
17:10What's he been saying?
17:11No.
17:12I mean, is this Bethany's doing?
17:14What are folk me saying to you to make you want to do this?
17:17Look, I get it, all right?
17:18And I'm gonna play along like everyone else, but I mean, it's just...
17:22What, tempting fate?
17:25No, just icky.
17:26Icky?
17:27It's, like, forced and weird, but I mean, just read the room.
17:34OK.
17:35Maria's got it.
17:36Can you get off a go?
17:37Oh, David needs a go.
17:38Yeah, yeah.
17:38Come on, you get to be gone.
17:39We'll take you out.
17:40See you later.
17:51Company director, Miss Leah Costello.
17:56Laney NW Incorporated on the...
17:59Carla, it's Kit.
18:20Ring me back as soon as you get this.
18:23The Costellos bought an house last year, Ravensgill, on Coniston Lakefront, just shy of a million quid.
18:28It was registered to a limited company with Leah as the director, right?
18:33But just wait for the best bit.
18:34The company was incorporated in 2021 on the 17th of December.
18:39That's a week after Becky's death.
18:42It's a bit of a coincidence, eh?
18:43Just ring me back.
18:51OK, then.
18:52Ding, ding.
18:53Second's out.
18:53I want to.
18:54I've not come to fight.
18:56I haven't.
18:58In fact, I...
19:01I was going to jet off to Lanzarote, but...
19:05Wow.
19:06Waste not, won't it, eh?
19:07But I didn't.
19:11I didn't because I...
19:12I know this is where I belong.
19:16At home with you.
19:19I love you.
19:20I think I always will.
19:30I love you too.
19:33Never stopped.
19:38I didn't think I was a needy person, but I guess I am with you.
19:42I was kind of hoping for some kind of sign of you to show me that this all is worth hanging on for.
20:04Do you ever wonder what it's like to be me?
20:09Do you think I really want to live like this?
20:11I just think we need to have each other's backs.
20:13Well, if you really had my back, then you would ease off a bit, wouldn't you?
20:17You'd have trusted me, but you don't.
20:20You just want to manage me like one of your machinists.
20:22That's not fair.
20:25You'd love me, Carla, but not in the way that I need right now.
20:28I'm sorry.
20:29How's that?
20:31It's difficult to explain.
20:32Well, try.
20:33Well, maybe with a bit more understanding.
20:35Lisa, I literally bend over backwards for you.
20:38I mean, I'm a mug, but I do it because it makes your life easier.
20:46Well, let's just admit it.
20:47We've seen the worst of each other and now we can't go back.
20:53Yes, we can.
20:54Of course we can.
20:55Carla, we're chasing a dream, aren't we?
20:57What?
20:58And when we're apart, this all seems possible, but then as soon as we're back in the same room together, I mean, look at us.
21:04Look at us.
21:10I'm done.
21:12We're done?
21:14You're saying we're done?
21:16Lisa?
21:17Sorry.
21:46Sorry.
21:46Sorry.
21:47Sorry.
22:13Sorry.
22:15Sorry.
22:16Sorry.
22:16Oh, Mrs. Connor, are you missing Secret Santa?
22:28It's your turn.
22:29You have it, Kirk. It's just a Malbec.
22:32Hey, how did you know that?
22:34Pick me on in, might be out.
22:36It's the Christmas party.
22:38I know, I've just got a bit of salt out here.
22:40Oh, you are going to come to the bistro later, though, aren't you?
22:43Maybe, yeah.
22:44Ooh, ooh, canaries.
22:46Very nice. Nice little Christmas treat.
22:50Quite decided, yeah.
22:57Sorry, guys, do you mind if I just change?
22:59Oh, sorry, sorry, yeah.
23:00Canaries? I didn't know she liked birds.
23:05Carla, it's Kate. Bring me back as soon as you get this.
23:08Costello's bought an house last year, Ravensgill and Coniston Lake.
23:12Is that what you want?
23:13Sweetheart, none of this is what I really want.
23:22But we just can't keep having the same arguments over and over and over again.
23:26It's exhausting.
23:27Yeah.
23:28I'm not surprised.
23:30I'm gutted.
23:32Obviously.
23:33But it's just, it's infuriating.
23:36Talking about me?
23:37No.
23:38Not this time.
23:40Carla?
23:43What happened?
23:45Same thing that always happens.
23:46I'm sorry.
23:52But I'm sure you can reason with her.
23:54Oh, don't pretend like this isn't exactly what you wanted.
23:57That ship has sailed.
24:04I should have said plane.
24:06What do you mean?
24:06She'll be on her way to the airport now.
24:09She's going to Lanzarote.
24:10What, on her own?
24:15Merry Christmas, Lees.
24:17Maybe this is for the best.
24:21Yeah.
24:22Well, you would say that, wouldn't you?
24:23Forget about me and you.
24:24Look, this whole thing is seriously stressing you out.
24:28A break from each other is probably exactly what you two need.
24:30She does have a point.
24:37Hiya.
24:38Mike.
24:38Don't go rummaging in the fridge.
24:41You'll spoil your tea.
24:42What are we having?
24:44I don't know.
24:45Well, might just have a yoghurt.
24:46I said leave it!
24:49What's up with you?
24:52Your auntie Debbie wants us all to go to a wedding.
24:56And?
24:57All of us.
24:57Me, you, Abbie.
24:59Your Uncle Carl.
25:01So what?
25:02So, I'm not in a mood for partying with them two right now.
25:05Who cares about what you want?
25:07Excuse me?
25:10I feel bad for you, Dad.
25:13But it's auntie Debbie's wedding.
25:16You need to show her that you care about what she wants.
25:22You might not get many more chances.
25:30I don't know how to give up.
25:31Oh, no, Gary, you can't, because then David's team wins.
25:33It stinks, Sarah.
25:35Come on, Gary, we've all been there.
25:37You've had strawberry jam.
25:38Yeah, and I ate strawberry jam.
25:40Raspberry till I die.
25:42Since when?
25:43Well, mine was fine.
25:44Hummus.
25:45Yeah, all the vegan ones smell nice.
25:47Top up.
25:49Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
25:50I wasn't thinking.
25:50What do you want?
25:51I've got apple cheese.
25:52I don't know, is it anchovies?
25:55No.
25:55You lose, we win.
25:57Do you hear that, babe?
25:57We're the champion nappy sniffers.
26:00Did that sound better in your red?
26:02So what was it?
26:03Peanut butter.
26:04That?
26:04That was not peanut butter.
26:06Right, let's do the presents.
26:07It says here, six peanut butter.
26:09It was peanut butter, but I added a few extras for Gary.
26:12Like what?
26:14No, just fish paste, vinegar, chilli sauce and an egg.
26:17Why would you do that?
26:18Ew, David!
26:19What?
26:20I mean, the egg was fresh.
26:21Come on, forget rotten eggs.
26:22Let's go and do prezzies.
26:23I'm not going to use a good egg, am I?
26:25Well, you didn't have to use any eggs, Dave.
26:27Okay, so I think this is Toya and Nick, yeah?
26:30But you've already got us something.
26:32Oh, it's just a little something extra.
26:36Spa vouchers, thank you.
26:38Honestly, it's amazing.
26:39And the rest wants to die for, isn't it?
26:40Yeah, well, he could do with a parsnip.
26:42I'll send the chef on a scouting mission.
26:44Can't wait.
26:45Right, this one, not sure.
26:47Oh, yeah, no, that's from us.
26:48Oh, look, there you go.
26:49Ah!
26:52Ooh!
26:54Oh, like a baby grow thing.
26:56Oh, Wethy County!
26:57Oh, that's so cute!
26:59Yeah, it really is!
27:01I'll pop the receipt in the bag for you.
27:03The receipt?
27:04Well, you never know, she might be a United fan.
27:07Why would I need a receipt?
27:09I don't know, just, like, in case it doesn't fit or something.
27:11I don't know, I mean, it looks like it could fit a three-month-old, you know,
27:14she's going to grow into it eventually.
27:16I'm sorry, I just say always get a good receipt.
27:18You know what, will you just get out?
27:20What?
27:20No, all of you, just go, will you?
27:22Look, you're all acting like the baby is dead already.
27:25Will you just go?
27:26No, no, no, no, no, no.
27:26Just go!
27:27Calm down.
27:28You would all go!
27:34No, I'm afraid the coffin gets cremated too.
27:38I'm not sure why you'd want to keep it.
27:41A bulk case?
27:44Look, Mrs Maguire, I'm going to have to go.
27:46I've just got another customer in.
27:48And I saw your husband a couple of days ago.
27:50He looked in extremely good health.
27:52So maybe we should be having this discussion a bit further down the line, love.
27:55Yeah, no, goodbye, Mrs Maguire.
27:58Oh, honestly.
27:59Now, now, now, this is no way to drum up business, is it?
28:02Oh, Chrissie, it's been non-stop all day long.
28:05I used to hand these cranks over to Togs, he was so good with them.
28:07What can one do?
28:10Well...
28:10Yeah, that was a rhetorical question, love.
28:13Come on, you've helped out before.
28:15How about your pitch in, but in a more official capacity?
28:20Ah, Ray, comforting grieving widows ain't exactly my idea of fun.
28:24That's not really meant to be fun, is it?
28:25It's a no from me, darling.
28:27Besides which, we both know that this is not about you trying to recruit a new undertaker.
28:33Isn't it?
28:34Yeah.
28:35Even if I started working here full-time, it wouldn't solve your problem.
28:39What is my problem?
28:42You're still worrying about Todd.
28:43A pint, Glenda, please.
28:49Right, love.
28:51Thanks for coming.
28:53What do you want, Kev?
28:54I've got a wedding to plan, whether you're coming or not.
28:57I am.
28:58What?
29:00Look, if Abbie and Carl's there, well, it's your big day.
29:07What?
29:08Really?
29:09You're coming?
29:11Thank you so much.
29:12Just don't expect me to be pallying up with either of them.
29:15Oh, no.
29:16No, no, no.
29:17Not at all.
29:18Just as long as you're there.
29:20No, I wouldn't miss it for anything.
29:22You'd have thought this had happened, eh?
29:24It's a miracle you found someone who actually wants to marry you.
29:27I'd tell you off, but I know you're right.
29:30Yeah.
29:31Oh, Kev.
29:34From the bottom of my heart.
29:36It's fine.
29:38Right, well, I best crack on, haven't I?
29:41I've got one very special place setting to cater for now.
29:46I love you.
29:49Love you, sis.
29:51See you later.
29:52Yeah.
29:55You're a good man.
29:56It's on the house.
29:57We're back.
30:02Hey.
30:03I made you a flower.
30:05Oh, thank you.
30:07She wants you to pin it on your party frock.
30:10Aw, thank you so much, but I don't think I'm going to go to the party.
30:13Why not?
30:14Because we're not allowed to go see Mum in prison.
30:16What?
30:17Well, you told them.
30:19No, of course not.
30:20Every time we mentioned Mummy changed the subject, it was obvious it was hiding something.
30:25Girls, no-one is allowed to visit on Christmas.
30:27It's just a rule they have.
30:29Yeah, we'll go as close to the big day as possible, I promise.
30:33You promised we'd see her on Christmas Day?
30:38Come on, let's sit at the table.
30:40I think you should go take a party.
30:44Do you?
30:45I don't think I should.
30:47But you look pretty in your party dress.
30:50Well, if you think I should go, I will.
30:58Come here.
31:03No, after the meal, I'm gone.
31:06I'm not going to stick around and watch him and her smooching on the dance floor.
31:10Shame.
31:11I was hoping to see your take on the locomotion.
31:14Ah, well, you know, once I've done my duty, I'm out of there.
31:17Just make me see how you feel on the day.
31:20Well, Carl being invited, I get his blood.
31:24Ah, looks like I'll be seeing you at the wedding then.
31:28Eh?
31:28Debbie.
31:30Debbie, once was all there, me, you and Carl.
31:32Really?
31:34Yeah, so try not to ruin that marriage as well, eh?
31:37What can I get you, Abby?
31:37Er, yeah, I was just wondering, erm, I don't suppose you've got any shifts going spare, do you?
31:46Well, I wouldn't have thought so.
31:48I can double check with Eva in the back, but I'm pretty sure the answer would be a big fat one.
31:53Could you check, please?
31:55Grab a seat.
31:56Oh, really?
31:59Well, I just saw...
32:00So that's it then, nothing?
32:02No.
32:03Cheers.
32:04Oh, right, well, Merry Christmas to you two.
32:08What's up?
32:10Police.
32:11They've dropped my case.
32:12Are you joking?
32:13No.
32:14Turns out you can just leave someone for dead and get away with it.
32:17Have they said why?
32:19No evidence.
32:20So unless the driver walks into the station and gives a confession, he'll get off scot-free.
32:25Oh, I'm sorry, mate.
32:27Hey, you've got your own worries.
32:29Yeah, well, I know who's to blame for mine.
32:32Sorry.
32:35Nah.
32:36Figures.
32:37Erm, thanks for asking.
32:39Come on, you've got to admit, it smells pretty fishy.
32:41It seems like a troll in there's been, but the point is, I'm done, I told you.
32:45Well, just speak to Costello one more time.
32:47I mean, I'd do it myself, but I'm not 100% sure he'd trust me.
32:50Oh, he's not capable.
32:51Gala, come on.
32:52Look, even if we found a big bag marked swag with Becky's fingerprints all over it,
32:58she'd still worm her way out.
32:59I mean, she's always one step ahead.
33:01Everyone's got the breaking point.
33:02Well, I might have, you might have, but her,
33:06there's not a hole that she can't worm her way out of.
33:09I mean, just look, dying didn't work.
33:12So you're just going to give up?
33:13No, she's won, all right?
33:15That's it.
33:17Do you know the way Sarah talks about you?
33:19You'd think you were fearless.
33:20Yeah, maybe I was once.
33:21So what are you going to do now?
33:23I've got myself booked on a flight salon's or two tonight,
33:25and the only thing I've had to really worry about is if I give myself an upgrade.
33:29Carla, we're so close.
33:30You're on your own.
33:32See, I don't believe you.
33:34This is the one chance to get Lisa back,
33:36and you're not even going to try.
33:37Hey, it's Carla Connor again.
34:00Lisa's lane's behind me.
34:03I expect you thought you'd seen the last of me, eh?
34:11Costello.
34:14Remember yesterday when I,
34:16I asked you about Becky,
34:19and you kind of gave me a message.
34:22Hill.
34:24Yeah?
34:25Rhubarb.
34:27Yeah.
34:29Okay, I have no idea what they mean.
34:31Okay, do they belong to a password for your laptop or something,
34:37or like a code of a case you were working on?
34:42Please.
34:43Pardon?
34:44Say again.
34:45Please.
34:47They call it word salad.
34:50Sorry?
34:51The stroke.
34:52Even if he knows what he wants to say,
34:55the wrong word can still come out.
34:56Right.
35:04You staying long, love?
35:06Can get you a cup of tea?
35:07No.
35:09It's okay, I'll get one on the plane.
35:14Good luck, mate.
35:15Hi, Carla.
35:28I've just been to the factory and it's all locked up, so, uh...
35:31Well, I'm guessing you're on your way to the airport, then.
35:35Look, please.
35:39Don't get on that plane.
35:40The...
35:43The thought of spending Christmas without you here, I just...
35:46I just can't leave things the way we did.
35:52I love you.
35:56And I can't bear the thought of not having you in my life.
36:01Please.
36:03Call me back.
36:04Oh, that's brilliant.
36:11I reckon I'd make a good sense of...
36:13I think that job's taken.
36:15No, like when he retires.
36:17You have to be part elf to qualify for that.
36:22Oh, go on, Kirk.
36:23Tell us why you think you'd be good at it.
36:25We've got a lot in common.
36:26Oh, like what?
36:28We're both delivery men for a start.
36:30Oh, yeah, that's true.
36:31Yeah.
36:32So, I know all the shortcuts around it.
36:35Yeah, that wouldn't help much in Australia.
36:37And I like milk and biscuits.
36:39Oh, stretching it.
36:40Yeah.
36:41And he's got a reindeer called Donna,
36:44and I live above Prima Donna.
36:47The job's as good as yours, Kirk.
36:50Wait, you don't think Donna meat is made from reindeer, do you?
36:54No.
36:55No, definitely not, Kirk.
36:56Hey, everyone, how was the meal?
36:58Oh, it was great, yeah.
37:00Yeah, hey, how was Shona's baby shower?
37:02Oh, it was more of a storm than the showers.
37:05Where's Carla?
37:06Well, she could be anywhere over the Mediterranean by now.
37:09What?
37:10According to these two, she's gone to the Canaries.
37:12Yeah, Lanzarote.
37:14Right.
37:15But she did promise us a couple of free drinks.
37:17Yeah, she did.
37:19Company Craig hard, please.
37:20Oh, yes, I've got it.
37:22Pigs, whoo!
37:22Push on pain!
37:24Why are they called reindeer anyway?
37:27Shouldn't it be snow day?
37:29Oh, Kirk.
37:33I apologise to Maria.
37:36I think she knows you weren't shouting at her, really.
37:41I think it's yourself you need to have a word with.
37:43Look, I'll agree to do all the normal stuff, right?
37:54All the milestones, all the appointments, all normal, right?
37:59If you agree that it's OK to be scared.
38:05I'm not scared.
38:07What?
38:08It's all right if you are.
38:09No, I can't be scared.
38:13Why not?
38:13Because if I'm scared, it's like admitting that it could happen.
38:17Well, I thought you were being realistic.
38:19Well, I lied.
38:23Well, I'm scared.
38:26You know, we can be scared together.
38:33So what's the next class?
38:35It's the antenatal class at the community centre.
38:39Hmm.
38:41What's that like, stretching or not?
38:44Probably a bit of that.
38:46You don't have to come.
38:49Try and stop me.
38:55Hi.
38:56How are you? All back early.
38:57Yeah, I thought I might catch the girls before bedtime.
39:01Oh, well, Shanice is fast asleep and Joanie's not been downstairs since you left.
39:04Oh, well, you can hardly blame.
39:08I should probably think she's been punished.
39:10What about us?
39:12Well, I suppose punishment is the only language she knows.
39:16She was taken away from Shanice and her parents were taken away from her.
39:20All she can see is the world trying to hurt her.
39:23Well, we'll have to show her that she's wrong then, won't we?
39:26How?
39:26I don't know.
39:28But if we can't get a couple of kids to love Christmas, we need to take a long, hard look at ourselves.
39:35Hmm.
39:35Hey, where are you off to?
39:41Airport.
39:43What? Why?
39:44Well, I need to stop her.
39:46Do you even know what flight she's on?
39:47Yeah, I've checked. There's only one today.
39:49OK, wait, have you thought this through?
39:51What is there to think about? I don't want her to go.
39:53So what? You're just going to turn up and make a big scene at the airport?
39:55Do you think that's what she wants?
39:57Well, I need to do something.
39:58OK, just take a breath.
40:00Like, why don't you try phoning her?
40:02No, I've already tried that. I need to see her in person.
40:05I just don't think that's a good idea.
40:07Yeah, well, what's your text?
40:10When?
40:14Five minutes ago.
40:18What does it say?
40:24Enjoy Christmas with Becky and Betsy.
40:27I'm going on holiday.
40:31Please stop calling me.
40:35You don't understand it.
40:52I understand it, all right.
40:53I just don't like it.
40:54What? Explain it to me now.
40:55There's the sound of a clapped-out diesel engine
40:58hooked up to a fax movie.
41:00Phyllis Stein, that is no way to talk about industrial techno.
41:04What's the industry?
41:06Airplug makers.
41:07I don't care what it is.
41:08I'm not having it at my wedding.
41:11Hurry and wait.
41:12Oh, here she is.
41:13Hey, have you told me?
41:14No, not yet.
41:15What, about us all going to the wedding?
41:16Yeah, I walked into Kev earlier.
41:19Look, are you sure about it?
41:20Fireworks usually happen outside the venue.
41:22Oh, yeah, that's what we said, isn't it?
41:25Look, if you don't want to go, though...
41:26No, of course I do.
41:28I'm just, I'm just not sure if I should.
41:31Well, I want you there.
41:33Both of you.
41:35Well, then I would love to.
41:39You don't look very happy about it.
41:42Oh, no, I am.
41:43I really am.
41:43It's just, I, er...
41:45I bumped into Tyrone earlier.
41:47I feel so bad for him.
41:50The police have dropped his case.
41:51I suppose there's not much you can do with a hit and run without a suspect.
41:55So that's it, then?
41:56It's all over?
41:57Officially?
41:58Yep.
41:59No evidence, you said.
42:01Oh, poor Tyrone.
42:04He might never know who nearly killed him.
42:11What are you up to?
42:12Just from me drone.
42:14Oh, yeah, for your geography project.
42:17How's it going?
42:18Yeah, good.
42:19But me and Jack have got tons of footage.
42:21Good.
42:21Well, I hope it's useful for you.
42:23Hey, Gary.
42:23All right, mate.
42:25How was your baby shower?
42:26Oh, don't ask.
42:28Oh, no, I've got to know.
42:29Yeah, well, let's just say you've probably been to more light-hearted funerals.
42:32Oh.
42:32Oh, dear.
42:32Oh, um, you hadn't spoke to Todd today, have you?
42:36No.
42:37Why?
42:37Because I was running past the flat before and thought I heard some slamming.
42:41Slamming?
42:42Mm, and some shouting.
42:43Probably nothing.
42:45In fact, it might have been coming from the corner shop now I think about it.
42:48Nice one, mate.
42:49All right, come on, drone boy.
42:50Let's get you home.
42:52See you, guys.
42:53Bye, lovey.
42:53Yeah, see you, lads.
