00:26Anything interesting?
00:28No.
00:30Just junk.
00:32That's all I ever get.
00:34Thinking of replacing the post box with a shredder.
00:38Have you heard anything from West Yorkshire?
00:40Nothing.
00:42Sheep worrying's more their speed.
00:44I just want to get some answers for Bernie.
00:46She's a bit cut up about Billy.
00:49Is there anything I can do?
00:51Well, take my advice.
00:53Maybe patch things up with your missus while you still can.
00:58Hey.
00:59Hiya.
01:02I thought you'd be wearing your pants on the outside of your trousers by now.
01:05I was just doing my job.
01:08I mean it.
01:10No problem.
01:12Hi.
01:13Morning.
01:14Er, listen, I might be over about four o'clock just to get some more of my stuff, if that's alright.
01:24Yeah, I'll see you later.
01:26No, well that wasn't the idea.
01:28Look, I'll just, I'll be as quick as I can.
01:34You okay, Kev?
01:36You don't want to know?
01:37Not if you've got plans for tonight.
01:39Sorry.
01:40Bit of a deaf question after what happened at the wedding night.
01:42Well, it's all par for the course.
01:44He walks away from yet another car just ready for the next and no one believes me.
01:50I do.
01:51Oh, aye.
01:52No, he had me on the hook at first and all.
01:55Big-hearted brother, caring for his sister routine.
01:57It's not to like.
01:59Turns out things aren't that simple.
02:01There you are.
02:02I need a word.
02:03Look, I'll catch up with you later.
02:05Yeah, yeah, you'd do that.
02:07I thought you wasn't speaking to me.
02:09Well, I shouldn't be.
02:12After you keeping me in the dark about Carl.
02:14Look, after all he's done to me.
02:16I just wanted me moment.
02:18See his face.
02:19I'm sorry, it was selfish.
02:21Yeah, it was.
02:24But I do kind of get it.
02:26Look, I've been doing a lot of thinking because that's pretty much all I can do right now.
02:30And even though the absolute scumbag's gonna get away with hitting me,
02:34I'm not gonna give him the satisfaction of destroying our friendship too.
02:37Well, cheers, pal.
02:39I appreciate that.
02:40But Carl's not out of the woods yet.
02:42I don't care what it takes.
02:44He's gonna pay for what he's done.
02:46You've gotta let it drop.
02:48I've already been on the phone to the police.
02:49They're not interested.
02:50They said no evidence.
02:51Case closed.
02:52Right, then we'll have to find some other proof.
02:55Well, good luck with that.
03:01Abby!
03:02Hey!
03:03Hey!
03:04Hey, don't you run away from me!
03:06Well, that won't be difficult to state you're in.
03:08Talk about karma after what you did to Ty.
03:10Where's my cash?
03:11Well, I don't know.
03:12I'm not your financial advisor.
03:14I have no time for this.
03:15Where's my money?
03:16Now, do you mean the pot of change on the kitchen side,
03:20or the not at all dodgy 18 grand in a bag?
03:23What do you think?
03:24I thought you shouldn't leave that kind of dosh lying about.
03:26But don't worry.
03:27I invested in it.
03:28In what?
03:29Myself.
03:30I've cleared all my debts, outstanding ones.
03:32And I donated the rest to Oak Hill Hospice.
03:35Oh, you'd better be joking.
03:36No, my jokes are generally funnier.
03:38Although I did have a good chuckle to myself as I was doing it.
03:43You're a vindictive little cow, aren't you?
03:46Just think of all the good that dirty money's doing.
03:49Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but it was Debbie's money you stole.
03:54Not mine.
03:55You're right.
03:56I'm serious.
03:57Yeah.
03:58Yeah, she's been helping me out for ages.
04:00Well, your lips are moving, so experience suggests you're telling poor kids.
04:04It's true.
04:06Maybe.
04:07Maybe not.
04:08I guess I'll just have to go and ask Debbie.
04:19Hi.
04:22This wasn't the plan, was it?
04:29It's all been said and done.
04:31Up in that bedroom.
04:32In our bed.
04:33Haven't you ever made a mistake that you wished with all of your heart you could undo?
04:36Hurt the one you love most of all?
04:39Hmm?
04:40Yeah, probably.
04:43But that's got nothing to do with the here and now, has it?
04:45After what we've meant to each other, I deserve a chance to make my case properly.
04:48You off somewhere?
04:53Once Summer's ready, we're, er, we're going to go to The Undertaker's.
04:58Start preparing Billy's funeral.
05:00Oh.
05:01I'll come with you.
05:02No, there's no need.
05:04What type of partner would I be if I'd let you go through something like that on your own?
05:09You need to rest.
05:11George and Summer will be there.
05:13Yeah, but...
05:15What will they be thinking?
05:16You know, or what will you think that they'll be thinking?
05:17I don't follow.
05:18Well, I mean...
05:19You wouldn't be human, would you, if you didn't feel like they were judging you and...
05:20I mean, especially Summer, you know.
05:21But it was her world.
05:22I can't even think about it.
05:23I can't even think about it.
05:24No, but you will.
05:25You know, all the what ifs.
05:26I mean, what ifs.
05:27I mean, what if you hadn't left the wedding early or...
05:31What if you'd missed the accident altogether and then Billy'd...
05:33Well, Billy'd still be with us.
05:35I won't let you torture yourself.
05:36Because I know that you would never have harmed Billy.
05:38I mean, you would never have harmed Billy.
05:40You know, I won't let you torture yourself.
05:43I mean, what if you hadn't left the wedding early, or what if you'd missed the accident altogether, then Billy would still be with us.
05:54You know, I won't let you torture yourself, because I know that you would never have harmed Billy on purpose.
06:05You know, that sort of guilt can be crippling.
06:08I'm always in your corner. Always. No matter what anyone else says.
06:22I'll be out in a sec.
06:26I didn't know Becky at all, did I? She's a psychopath.
06:29Yeah, you're telling me.
06:31I never would have dreamt she was capable of doing those things to anyone.
06:35Well, I realised something was off with her, and I told you, Lisa, over and over again, didn't I?
06:40But it was so difficult, Carla.
06:43And then what with Betsy was as if he had one hand tied behind my back.
06:46I'm sorry.
06:51So why were you going to flee the country with her, then, eh?
06:54Because I thought we were in grave danger.
06:57And I thought it was the best thing to do for Betsy.
06:59And I'm not trying to pretend that I wasn't in the wrong, or that I haven't made some terrible decisions.
07:05Because I have.
07:07But, Carla, I want you, not her.
07:11And I'm going to tell her that today.
07:14Sorry, today?
07:15She sent me a visiting order this morning.
07:17Oh, my gosh.
07:20Wow.
07:22You just can't keep away from her, can you?
07:24What?
07:25Oh, no.
07:27No, it's not like that.
07:28It is like that.
07:29No.
07:31Oh, gosh.
07:33You know, if she was really dead to you, you'd just cut her off.
07:39But I don't know.
07:40She whistles and you just come running.
07:42Talk about no learning curve.
07:44Carla, you've got this all wrong.
07:46I don't think so.
07:51Right.
07:52Look at this.
07:53Here you are, you lucky girl.
07:56And, um, you get that down here.
08:00You're going to need your strength for the next few days.
08:03Yes, boss.
08:04I mean it.
08:06It's going to be hard.
08:07Don't need you flaking out on me and all.
08:10We are going to be all right, aren't we?
08:13Yeah.
08:15Yeah, of course we are.
08:16We'll be fine.
08:19It should be me thanking you.
08:21I didn't do anything, did I?
08:23Oh, I did lurk about in corridors and drink awful tea.
08:28Tranky part, aren't we?
08:29Well, you and Mr. Harper, you did all heavy lifting.
08:32Yeah, but I couldn't have done it without you.
08:35And it can't have been easy watching me stick my fingers in my ears and having your head bitten off all the time.
08:40You just might wake up, babe.
08:41Well, it worked, didn't it?
08:44That's all I'm off.
08:49Oh.
08:51Hi again.
08:52Everything all right?
08:55It is now.
08:56Sorry, there's, er...
08:57I know who it is.
09:00I should hope so.
09:00What is this?
09:06Hey.
09:07Where's Debbie?
09:08I need to talk to her.
09:09You're wasting your time.
09:10She wasn't picking up her phone.
09:11I went around the hotel.
09:12Ryan said she's making you for a drink.
09:13Well, I was right, yeah.
09:14Why?
09:14What was the problem?
09:15She's lost the plot.
09:16Shut up!
09:16That's it!
09:17I don't want to hear from you.
09:18Right, you two.
09:19Chill your bits.
09:20Are they causing trouble again?
09:21No, Kevin's done nothing but him.
09:23Please, you're going to upset her for no reason.
09:25And we don't need any more upset right now.
09:27It's a simple question, that's all.
09:30I found a bag of money of his.
09:32Nearly 20 grand.
09:33Now, he reckons most of it came from you.
09:35Yeah, right, Pinocchio.
09:37Where was this bag?
09:38Hanging off your hooter?
09:40Yeah, I think he's lying and all.
09:41Either that or he stole it from you.
09:43I just want to know which.
09:53It's true.
09:59I gave him some money.
10:01You never said anything to me.
10:02He was desperate.
10:04Really desperate.
10:06He needed it.
10:07No doubt gave you one of his many cock and bull stories.
10:10Like he gave me about his, er, so-called gym buddy there.
10:15Never off the horizontal treadmill, were you?
10:17What was she on about?
10:19Love, young dream.
10:20Turns out they were at it behind me back for months.
10:24It's not a nice feeling.
10:28I am so sorry.
10:30Well, I'd have blown it ages ago.
10:32So, fair play to you, babe.
10:34Your timing's mint.
10:35Nah, she'd say anything to get back at me.
10:37However ridiculous.
10:39Have you got no what to say for yourself?
10:40He doesn't want to dignify it, does he?
10:42Or show you up for the bitter, twisted, skank...
10:45Shut up!
10:48I never meant for it to happen.
10:49It's... it's true?
10:51Yeah.
10:52But I ended it.
10:53I came to realise what a grade-A scumbag he is.
10:55Did you hear that, Deb?
10:56This is the bloke you're putting your dad in the noose for.
10:59We heard enough of you at the wedding.
11:00When are you going to stop embarrassing yourself in public?
11:02Hey, gay, bro.
11:03Hey, not daddy!
11:04Boys!
11:05There's a time and place.
11:07I won't graze me knuckles with him.
11:09Look, listen.
11:10Am, you can leave that to the cobbles.
11:11Go on, sling your hook.
11:12I've had enough of your antiques today.
11:13Go on.
11:14Now, just let him go.
11:19You've got enough to worry about without fretting over his messes.
11:22What are you doing here?
11:26Erm, my sister's in hospital.
11:30Do we need an excuse?
11:32Well, how did you find me?
11:33Look.
11:34I don't know.
11:36It was just a coincidence.
11:38I saw, erm, you and your husband at the hospital and...
11:42We've not changed that much.
11:45I never thought I'd see you again.
11:48Let alone find out where I have an eaten or what.
11:50And how is she?
11:52She's hanging in there.
11:55I, erm...
11:56I left a little bunny by your incubator.
12:00That was you?
12:01Yeah, I, erm, I hope you don't mind.
12:05I, er...
12:06I know, I know I should have come to you first.
12:09I was, I was just trying to, erm...
12:12I was trying to pluck up the courage.
12:14Cos, you know, I didn't, I didn't want to shock you.
12:16And I didn't know how you'd react after everything you've been through.
12:20It's fine.
12:22It's fine.
12:25And I'm sorry for losing touch.
12:27For everything.
12:28But, I mean, you're, you're all right, aren't you?
12:34Yeah.
12:36Better for seeing you.
12:38That's good.
12:40Look, I, erm...
12:42I tell you, it, it's good to see you.
12:45It, it's really good.
12:48Things are pretty full on at the moment.
12:50OK, so, so...
12:52Why don't you leave me your number?
12:54And we can pick this up when I've got the ad space for it.
12:57Is that all right?
12:58Er, yeah.
13:00Yeah, if that's what, that's what you want, yeah.
13:02This isn't a brush off.
13:05It'll just be better when things settle down.
13:06Do you understand?
13:09Sure, yeah.
13:10What the hell was that about?
13:26I will explain.
13:27I will.
13:28I just...
13:29I can't right now.
13:30I just need the rest.
13:31He had decided on the order of service and so forth already.
13:38I, erm...
13:40I guess he wanted to relieve you of the burden.
13:44Is Billy all over?
13:47Of course, if there's anything he wanted to add or change.
13:52Do you know the options as well as I do?
13:53No, it's, it's a really good choice to casket.
13:56And, and I wouldn't presume to tamper with the service.
13:59He was the expert.
14:01Do you agree?
14:03Totally.
14:04But there are still some decisions, erm...
14:09The headstone for one.
14:11Again, he had made arrangements in financial terms and, er...
14:16Well, I could choose something appropriate to the budget if...
14:20That's a good idea.
14:22Yeah, a good idea.
14:24George will do Billy proud.
14:27Yeah.
14:28Er, you could use Alsop and Sons.
14:31Do us do a good job.
14:32Yeah, absolutely.
14:33And, erm...
14:35You'll let me know the inscription you want, you know.
14:38When you have a time to consider.
14:40How do you find the right words?
14:45It's so hard.
14:46Oh, come on.
14:48Here you go, love.
14:49You let it all out.
14:50I'm sorry.
14:51I'm sorry.
14:54It just overwhelms me sometimes.
14:59You wake up and you forget.
15:02Yep.
15:02So it's like...
15:03So it's like...
15:05He dies again every morning.
15:10Sometimes I wish I didn't wake up at all.
15:12Hey, come on.
15:14You don't mean that.
15:17Look, he'd want you to go on.
15:19All of us.
15:21Yeah, no.
15:22Did, erm...
15:26Did you bring any keepsakes to place with him?
15:29Er, yeah, I dug out a few photos.
15:32Oh, nice.
15:34Could I, er...
15:37Yeah.
15:44It's, erm...
15:45I suppose it's a comfort thinking they'll be reunited.
15:59What about you, love?
16:00Did you bring anything?
16:02Er, yeah, it...
16:03It plays, though, Happy Day.
16:05Oh.
16:07He used to listen to it when he thought of Paul.
16:12You know, he'd only just got to the point where we could love him.
16:15Listen to it without crying.
16:28It's OK, all right?
16:29It will be OK.
16:32Theo's right.
16:34It's what Billy would want.
16:36More than anything.
16:40Well, I was hoping you might be Carl.
16:43Honestly, I couldn't give a stuff where he is.
16:46That's understandable.
16:47We've both been had by him.
16:50Can't believe he was badgering you for handouts.
16:53Yeah.
16:54Well, it wasn't like that.
16:56Anyway, I've given up worrying about money.
16:59Yeah, me too.
17:01Erm...
17:02But that's...
17:04That's...
17:07That's because I, er...
17:10I used some of your money to clear me debts.
17:13And I, erm...
17:15I gave the rest to a hospice.
17:17I thought it was dirty money.
17:19I took it as payback.
17:21Oh, of course you did.
17:29You couldn't make it up, could you?
17:33It's fine, Abs.
17:34Honestly.
17:35I know you'd have given him your back.
17:37Well, you had to brought you straight round
17:38and told you not to waste it on him.
17:40Erm...
17:41But there's...
17:43Oh, the thing is, Deb,
17:44I haven't got a job,
17:45so I can't pay you back.
17:46Actually...
17:49I think you can.
17:52How?
17:53Would you go back and work at the garage?
17:56Right, yeah, Kev would never live with that.
17:58Well, he's not living without it, is he?
17:59And he's really struggling now Ty's not there.
18:02He needs...
18:04a blooming brilliant mechanic,
18:06and that's you.
18:08And I need someone to keep an eye on him.
18:10I'll square it.
18:14If I can talk him round, would you be willing?
18:17Yeah, why not?
18:21How are you getting on, pal?
18:23Oh, you know, not too bad.
18:26Hey, thanks for your messages.
18:27Gosh, it's at least a good day.
18:29You're a hero.
18:29No, I'm not.
18:31If I was Billy, I'd be stood there.
18:33No, don't blame yourself, mate.
18:35Especially if it's true that Debbie was driving.
18:38She's the one responsible.
18:39She needs locking up and throwing away the key.
18:41Well, she's getting locked into her own head, isn't she?
18:43That's punishment enough.
18:44Well, let's just leave the punishment to the courts, eh?
18:48If anyone was able to forgive, it would have been Billy.
18:51Yeah.
18:51Not just because he was contractually obliged.
18:56He was a top fella.
18:58The best.
19:00Always looking out for others.
19:02Wanting to get involved, I mean.
19:05In a way, that's what cost him in the end, isn't it?
19:07Well, so he would have wanted it.
19:09I'm not much company.
19:12Yeah.
19:12Sean told us about the bust-up at the pub.
19:15Whatever Carl does, nothing touches him.
19:17Yeah, well, I'm sick of it and all.
19:19Especially now I know what he's been up to.
19:21Is this what you mentioned this morning?
19:23Yeah.
19:24Yeah, something's not been right with the hotel for a while.
19:28Books don't tally.
19:29So when Sean told us about what Abby said about Carl having money, I thought, a bit too
19:34much of a coincidence for me.
19:37Yeah, well, Debbie said she gave it him.
19:39Probably covering his back, as per.
19:42Yeah.
19:43Well, that's what I think.
19:45But I'm almost certain Carl's got his fingers in the till.
19:48And once I've got enough evidence, I'm going to the police for it.
19:52He'll finally get what's coming to him.
19:57Any reason I'm here is to say goodbye and good riddance.
20:02You don't mean that.
20:06I was happy.
20:07Carla's ten times the woman you'll ever be, but you destroyed all that, didn't you?
20:13Just like you tried to destroy everything that was happy in my life.
20:16You'd choose a stranger over your own family.
20:19You're not my family.
20:23You're the woman who told me and my daughter nothing but lies to try to turn our lives upside
20:27down.
20:27You're the woman who tried to kill the love of my life.
20:35I hope you rot in here.
20:37Don't say things you'll come to regret.
20:40The only thing I regret, Rebecca, is the fact that your funeral wasn't for real.
20:48No.
20:51Don't go down this road.
20:53Things could get very awkward.
20:55I can make you look like an accessory and a lot more besides.
20:59How do you think we paid off the mortgage in double quick time?
21:03See, you didn't ask any questions because you didn't want to know the answers.
21:07I'm right, aren't I?
21:13So, now a jury's going to have to decide whether you were just plain stupid.
21:20Chose to believe me because it suited you.
21:22Or whether you were up to your neck in it with Curtis, just like me.
21:29And by the time I'm done on that stand, I know what my money will be on.
21:35But don't worry.
21:42Food in here's pretty good.
