00:00I don't think James is up for it. He's not in the right end space.
00:03Yeah, he's struggling to cope with Dee Dee and Layla going.
00:06A night out with the lads might be exactly what he needs, though.
00:09Nah, you're gonna have to do something for Ronnie Stag do. Be rude not to.
00:13He doesn't have to be drunk and debauchery, I suppose.
00:17What, so no chaining him to a lamppost in his undergrollies?
00:20No axe throwing, no strippers?
00:22Well, if you're lucky, I might push the boat out and buy us all the pickled eggs.
00:26Oh, hey, I could jump out of a cake, make it a night.
00:30I'm sure Debbie might have something to say, babe.
00:32Yeah, it's your name.
00:34Glenda, I don't suppose anyone's handed in a phone, have they?
00:37Oh, sorry, love. I'll keep an eye out for you.
00:39Cheers.
00:40Actually, Ronnie, glad I bumped into you.
00:43How'd you fancy having the Stag do at the hotel?
00:51Sorry, have I spoken out of turn?
00:53No, it's just that, you know, Kevin is coming, so, you know...
00:57Right.
00:58It's awkward.
01:01Shouldn't have said anything.
01:02Hey, it's nothing personal, mate.
01:04No, honestly, it's fine, I shouldn't have presumed.
01:06Yeah, well, don't worry about it, Carl, you're not going to miss out on much.
01:09It's going to be a fun-free zone, apparently.
01:14Right, I'd best get back.
01:15Oh, that was from the heart.
01:27What have you done?
01:29I might have sent a message that I shouldn't have sent to someone I shouldn't have sent it to.
01:34Classic.
01:35This guy is bad news.
01:37I keep telling myself, stay away.
01:40But somehow, I keep finding myself back there.
01:43Well, that's your shadow self.
01:45You need to look out for that.
01:47I'm coming round to the idea.
01:48Apparently, March is a good time to visit.
01:5124 to 31 degrees.
01:52All right, Elliot, at least let me move first.
01:55Making plans, eh?
01:57Out with the old, in with the new.
02:00The promises you make seems to count for nothing.
02:02Oh, come on, James, that's not fair.
02:05Family means nothing to you, don't it?
02:06As long as you get what you want.
02:17I heard you were moving away.
02:19I'd find James is taking it badly.
02:22I can hardly blame him, can I?
02:23I wouldn't be too hard on yourself.
02:25Everything you've done, you've done it for Layla.
02:29I'll miss you.
02:31You'll never forget what a good friend you were to Paul.
02:34Well, I really loved him, Billy.
02:39Yeah, he loved you too.
02:42And he'd want what's best for you.
02:44And Layla.
02:45You're right.
02:47Just hurting my own brother like this,
02:49it's unforgivable, isn't it?
02:50No, it's not.
02:52God knows you.
02:54He knows what's in your heart, so...
02:57You don't have to answer to anyone else.
03:02Hiya.
03:03All right.
03:04Yeah.
03:04Dee Dee said that she'd been offered a job abroad.
03:07Yeah.
03:08Look, James, whatever happens, you'll sort it out.
03:11Besides, you both want the same thing, don't you?
03:14You know what's best for Layla?
03:16What's best for Layla's being surrounded by family.
03:18People who love her.
03:20Yeah, but being a monk can't stop Dee Dee from doing what's right for her.
03:23Yeah, but if she stayed, we could support her.
03:26She could have it all.
03:28Maybe what she really needs is a fresh start.
03:30But she's got a good life here.
03:31But maybe it's about how other people see her.
03:35You know, no matter what she does, she's always going to be known for being that daft idiot who was full by an abuser.
03:40Thanks for coming.
03:42I know I haven't made things easy lately.
03:46I get it.
03:47And I know my timing is terrible leaving at Christmas.
03:51It was out of your hands.
03:53It was, but...
03:54I've been thinking.
03:57Come with us, James.
03:59To Singapore.
04:00You've nothing holding you here.
04:02Thanks, but...
04:03Oh, please.
04:04No.
04:06This is your opportunity.
04:08Your life.
04:10Don't you little brother in tow?
04:12I will visit, though.
04:15We'd love that.
04:16I know you wouldn't have contemplated moving if you didn't think it was best for Layla.
04:29And it will be.
04:30This is an amazing new start for both of you.
04:34Cold pairing idea was wishful thinking.
04:37At the end of the day, you're a mother.
04:41No.
04:43I know you have loved her like any parent would.
04:47And I am so grateful for that.
04:51So?
04:52When do you walk, then?
04:54Uh, we, uh...
04:56We'll be heading down to London tonight and then fly on Sunday.
04:59Right.
05:01But, you know, I'm having a meal at Speed, doll, before we go.
05:05I hope you can make it.
05:06I hope to say goodbye.
05:09I don't think I can face that.
05:14But I love you.
05:17And I wish you all the luck in the world.
05:20I really do.
05:23I'm sorry.
05:24Do you want a coffee to finish?
05:38No, good tell.
05:40I know you don't actually want one, Dad.
05:42You're just trying to drag things out.
05:44Well, you know, I hate goodbyes.
05:48And I'm so proud of you.
05:49Lots of people would have been sunk by what's happened in here.
05:52You are stronger than ever.
05:53Yeah, well, when you've got kids, getting up and dying is not really an option, is it?
06:02Maybe that was God's plan all along.
06:03No way.
06:05Well, I turned out to be exactly what I needed, just when I needed it.
06:09We're all going to miss her.
06:10Especially Glory.
06:11Yeah, Frankie and all.
06:17I'll miss you.
06:19But I'm proud of you.
06:21Starting afresh.
06:22You know, you didn't let Joe win.
06:26Neither did you.
06:28OK, but you don't have to move halfway across the world to start again.
06:32Fight back starts right here, yeah?
06:34Yeah.
06:36Come on, guys.
06:37At least your holidays are sorted for the next few years.
06:39You're welcome.
06:40I've got my bid in already.
06:42Ah, yes.
06:44Hey, listen.
06:45The red carpet will be rolled out on that airport tarmac waiting for you.
06:50Come here.
06:52You've kept me saying these last few years.
06:55I love you.
06:57I love you too.
06:59I've got to get back by now.
07:02This is au revoir, no, goodbye.
07:05Come here.
07:06Give Debbie my love.
07:09I'm sorry I'm missing the wedding.
07:11Ah, not to worry.
07:12I'll send you plenty of pictures.
07:14And if you like, I might even give you a video call from the reception.
07:19I'll be holding you to that Uncle Ronnie.
07:21Come here.
07:23Oh, I love you.
07:25I love you.
07:26Talking of calls, do you want me to give him a ring?
07:29James?
07:31Oh, no, it's fine.
07:33I'm sure he would have been here if he could have.
07:37It's like that said, goodbye's a heart, haven't I?
07:39I don't know why he'd want to swap Witherfield for Singapore.
07:58Oh, is there something I'd say?
08:00Listen.
08:02Couldn't have asked for a better business partner.
08:04We had some right laughs in that place, didn't we?
08:06Yeah, we sure did.
08:07I'm going to miss you.
08:08Good luck.
08:10Travelling light to scenic.
08:11Well, you know, new start, new wardrobe.
08:14A lot less spiritual baggage, thanks to you.
08:16Well, I told you.
08:18Mysterious ways is wonders to perform.
08:21I'll give you both them up, Ray.
08:22Thank you, Billy.
08:24I tell you what, if my ribs survive all of these hugs, that'll be a miracle in itself.
08:29Right, I'm going to get off.
08:32Dee, wait.
08:34I couldn't do a fine.
08:35I couldn't let you go without saying a proper goodbye.
08:38Is she in the back?
08:40Yeah.
08:41Bye, sweetheart.
08:42We'll see you soon, OK?
08:43Hey, little one.
08:53I just...
08:55I just wanted to say...
08:58I love you.
09:08I'm sorry I made things so awkward.
09:10No.
09:11You've got nothing to apologise to.
09:13You've done all.
09:17You'll always be a big part of our life, yeah?
09:19Yeah.
09:22OK.
09:23Go on, then.
09:24That big, bad world ain't going to conquer us.
09:27No, I guess not.
09:30Oh, I love you.
09:32OK, I love you all.
09:36I'll speak to you soon.
09:43Just me and you, then, baby girl.
09:47Let's do this.
09:48That took a lot of guts.
10:06All proud of you, sir.
10:07All proud of you.
