00:00Oh
00:30Oh yeah, I can't be scared.
01:00Right, my dad's struggling. My mum's not a good patient, you know.
01:13I could come with you if you like.
01:15Oh no, it's my mum.
01:17I'm a Vince Doncaster.
01:19You'll like it. Trust me.
01:21Right, it's time for her favourite son to step up.
01:24She's only got one son, haven't she?
01:26Yeah, I know. That's her joke.
01:30Listen, I'll be back this evening. Try to go for tea?
01:34Yeah, OK.
01:35All right. I'll tell you to Doncaster next time.
01:37I would really like that.
01:38Yeah, I'll show you the bright lights.
01:40All right, I'll see you later.
01:44Oh, erm, I've only got that tenner that you left me.
01:48Is that a problem? I'm back tonight.
01:51Oh, erm...
01:53Yeah, OK. Give him my love.
01:56Yeah, all right. I'll do. See you later.
02:00Er, I left a stack of them under the bar. We'll check.
02:03Because they're going to be in about half two today.
02:05Hi, Ralph.
02:06Hi.
02:07Oh, where's Cam?
02:08He's helping out reception.
02:10Right, erm, can I have a word?
02:12Yeah.
02:13You all right?
02:14Yeah, yeah, fine.
02:17For what you did last week.
02:19No.
02:20And you've always been straight with me, haven't you?
02:22I'll trust you.
02:23Like me own family.
02:24Well, more than my own family sometimes.
02:27And, erm...
02:30That's right. I wanted you to know,
02:33if I do go to jail without passing go,
02:36I want to leave you in charge of the hotel.
02:39Well, what about Carl?
02:44And what about Ronnie?
02:45Oh, Ronnie's really busy with his own stuff,
02:47and, Carl, well, you leave him to me, yeah?
02:51I mean, it might not happen and touch what it doesn't,
02:53but if it does, you are my main man.
02:59I won't let you down.
03:00I won't let you down.
03:03Yeah.
03:04No, thank you, though.
03:05Yeah, it was a long shot.
03:07Oh, actually, erm,
03:08you don't, by any chance, have the number of a Bernard Bennett,
03:11do you?
03:12Him and me dad were mates at school.
03:15Bernard Bennett.
03:17Great!
03:18Great!
03:19Pen.
03:20Yeah.
03:22Yeah.
03:24OK.
03:25Yes, no.
03:26I'll ring him after six.
03:27Brilliant, thank you.
03:28Yeah, you're a star.
03:29Thanks.
03:30You have my pen back.
03:31All right, I've got a lead on me dad.
03:33Everyone's a detective.
03:34Mm-hmm.
03:35Er, oh, we need to get off to the hospital.
03:37Come on.
03:38Right, we're off, love.
03:39Oh, all right, er, give half of me love, yeah?
03:41Oh, we will.
03:42You're getting on well now, aren't you?
03:44Yeah, yeah.
03:45Well, don't be too good.
03:46You'll be doing me out of a job.
03:48I could never be as good as you.
03:49Aw, thanks.
03:50I'll see you later.
03:51See ya.
03:52See ya.
03:53So, you've told him?
03:54Yeah, he's not best pleased.
03:55Yeah, well, I just want it all sorted.
03:56Do you know, I've only got an hour for me lunch?
03:57Yeah, I've got to get back for Dorit.
03:58You know, I'm not sure if this is a good idea, you know.
03:59Look, it's what Debbie wants, and I think it is a good idea.
04:00Yeah.
04:01Yeah, she's not best pleased.
04:02Yeah, well, I just want it all sorted.
04:04I've only got an hour for me lunch.
04:07Yeah, I've got to get back for Dorit.
04:09Yeah, I'm not sure if this is a good idea, you know.
04:10Look, it's what Debbie wants, and I think it is a good idea.
04:13Interventions can be very effective in helping people improve their mental health.
04:18Well, I'm not sure Kev's gonna see it that way.
04:20I told you it wouldn't be late.
04:22Well, I wouldn't mess up free lunch.
04:24Oh, did he say free?
04:25I never said free.
04:26She's kidding.
04:27I never kid about money.
04:29Surprise!
04:30What's this?
04:31An intervention. Sit down.
04:33I thought I was getting a free lunch.
04:34Truth is, we're worried about you, Kev.
04:38So it's an ambush?
04:39No, it's a we-care-about-Kevin-fest.
04:42Well, I don't need this. I'm all right.
04:44And even if I wasn't, I wouldn't turn to you lot for advice.
04:48Stick your free meal.
04:49Oh, come on, Kev, just give us a chance.
04:51You lied to me.
04:53Kev, it's an hour, that's all.
04:54It's a waste of time.
04:55Now, you, sit down.
04:57No.
04:57Now, listen, in a few days' time,
05:01I might find myself locked up in a two-by-two-foot prison cell
05:04and I don't want to be sat there fretting about you.
05:07So, do me a favour, pat your derriere
05:09and convince me why I shouldn't be worried.
05:16Hiya. Hiya, Bernard. It's me, Jodie.
05:20Yeah. Yeah. Dad's fine.
05:22No, actually, er, I was hoping you'd do me a favour.
05:26Do you remember my sister, Shona, by any chance?
05:31So you're feeling better?
05:33Yeah.
05:36And I should have texted.
05:37It wasn't big and it wasn't clever,
05:39but I just wanted to get away from everything.
05:43Okay.
05:45Well, how about me and you go to the pub later?
05:49You know, just the two of us.
05:50They're quality time.
05:53What's this?
05:54Well, this is a brief encounter
05:56because my shift starts in five minutes
05:58and you should have been in the shop half an hour ago.
06:00Yep.
06:02I missed you.
06:04Okay, but you're right.
06:06Maybe we should, er, make time to reconnect.
06:08Yes. Yes, exactly that.
06:10The flat is largely empty most of the day.
06:14I shall be down here.
06:17Er, Bernie, this is Mr. Roper.
06:19He's going to be addressing the electrical issues we have upstairs.
06:23Mal, pleased to meet you.
06:25Bernie, and this is my husband, Devendra.
06:28Oh, hey.
06:29Oh, if you ever need an electrician,
06:31fast, efficient, and always discreet.
06:33Hmm, I think I'll, er, bear it in mind.
06:35Okay, okay, okay.
06:36Mm, laters.
06:38Bye, darling.
06:39Let's get on.
06:46When I was in a wheelchair after the hammer,
06:48I found it really difficult to ask for help.
06:50I thought this was supposed to be about me, not you.
06:53It is about you.
06:55Because you helped me,
06:56but now you have to let us help you.
06:58God, I don't duds.
06:59Mechanic.
07:01Part-time psychiatrist.
07:02Who do?
07:03You know you're hurting, Kevin.
07:05Who says I'm hurting?
07:06Do you think I'm crying in my pillow all night?
07:09You don't know me.
07:10Oh, really?
07:11Look, I know how difficult it is for men to discuss their feelings.
07:16Tim found it very hard to share when he was going through his erectile dysfunction.
07:21Do I have to talk about this now?
07:23Er, Debbie is just trying to help.
07:25You know who you are.
07:26Fully functional now, by the way.
07:28It's okay to be scared.
07:32Who says I'm scared?
07:35I'm fine.
07:36I don't know why you all think you can see into my head.
07:38You're not fine, Kev.
07:40I'm not fine either.
07:41And it's nothing to be ashamed of.
07:43You're quiet.
07:44Do you not want to contribute?
07:46I'm sorry for all the damage me and Carl have caused.
07:50For what it's worth, I've made a lot of mistakes in my life.
07:53I'm not going to argue with that one.
07:55And I know what I did had a massive effect on you.
08:00Well, I'm used to it.
08:02Married a junkie.
08:04Woman who cheated on me.
08:05Got pregnant.
08:06Sleeping with me brother.
08:08Par for the course.
08:08Kevin.
08:09It's fine, Sal.
08:10Honest.
08:10Look, have a go at me if it makes you feel better.
08:13I don't mind being your punch bag.
08:14I don't need this.
08:16Well, isn't this cosy?
08:18Did I miss the memo?
08:20What do you want?
08:21I want to know why our sisters stabbed me in the back.
08:26Hiya.
08:27Could I please have a bacon and sausage barm with a big dollop of brown sauce and a frothy
08:31coffee, please?
08:32Right.
08:33Bacon and sausage barm, brown sauce, frothy coffee.
08:36Just the coffee for me, please.
08:38Not hungry.
08:40Joking, aren't you?
08:41Look at your belly rumbling all the way over here.
08:42And I embrace the hunger.
08:44It keeps me sharp.
08:45I'm in training, aren't I?
08:46Oh, well.
08:47Put his coffee on my bill, will you?
08:50Thanks, I really appreciate that.
08:52Oh, fiddle sticks.
08:54Only gone and left me wallet in the shop.
08:56Sorry, mate.
08:57I'll pay you back.
08:58Yeah, of course you will.
08:59Yeah, thank you.
09:00I'll be over here.
09:01Right, £6.50.
09:05Right.
09:06Now, I know a spark who can do your electrics for maple's rates.
09:10I can give him a call if you want.
09:12That's very kind of you, Bernie, but I'm sure Mal will do a good job.
09:15Yeah, well, I don't want you to be out of pocket, that's all.
09:17Well, actually, um, it's rather awkward.
09:22Turns out that the woman that I was corresponding with, this Mal's wife, they've since split up.
09:30Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is awkward.
09:33Yeah, well, they did.
09:34And I can't help feeling that our connection contributed to the breakdown of that marriage.
09:42Anyway, I've checked his references.
09:45He's a fully qualified electrician.
09:47This has nothing to do with you.
09:53Can you check?
09:54I've still got a knife stuck in me bag.
09:55Don't be like this.
09:56After everything I've done for you, you put Ryan in charge of the hotel.
09:59Well, let me explain.
10:01Then he's only trying to help you, you know.
10:03Do you think you need help, really?
10:05Look, I don't know, Kev.
10:06Self-knowledge is the only way to make progress, Kevin.
10:09You even send your B-movie henchman to pass on the message.
10:12You've not got the guts to do it yourself.
10:14Nobody's henchman.
10:15Can we talk about this later, please?
10:17You know what?
10:18Do what you want.
10:19I don't care.
10:20Oh, Carl!
10:21You know what, leave him.
10:22He's not worth it.
10:23I thought this was a stupid idea, but that's just cheered me up.
10:27Am I the only one round here who's trying to keep this family together?
10:30Don't bother.
10:31Not worth the effort.
10:39Oh, my.
10:59What?
11:01It's from Maureen Braithwaite.
11:03We did the funeral for her husband, Giles, innit?
11:07She's thanking me with this bottle of cognac.
11:09Oh, mmm.
11:11Let me have a look.
11:14I can't accept it.
11:16Why not?
11:17Because it's too expensive.
11:19My dad was a connoisseur, loved his cognac, and...
11:22No, this is too expensive.
11:24I'm going to give it back.
11:25Oh, George, you've obviously helped her through one of the most difficult times of her life.
11:29How do you think she's going to feel if you reject her kind gift?
11:32Yeah, but it doesn't feel right.
11:33Offended.
11:34That's how she's going to feel.
11:35I don't know, maybe you want to offend a widow.
11:37No, of course I don't.
11:38Well, I suggest you get a little card out and you write for a thank-you note.
11:42Yeah, maybe you're right.
11:43I'm always right.
11:45Eh?
11:46Maybe we'll crack it open now and have a little snifter.
11:49Well, it's mid-afternoon.
11:51No, this stuff, it's meant to be sipped in a warm glass, you know, after a nice meal.
11:57A digestif.
11:59Well, maybe then you could take me later on for a nice meal and then we can savour the little
12:03digestif.
12:05We'll see.
12:06After I thank Maureen.
12:07Dad?
12:19In here.
12:20Yeah.
12:24You again?
12:26We need to talk.
12:28No, we don't.
12:30You need to leave us alone.
12:32We're okay.
12:33Now we're...
12:34No.
12:36We're not.
12:38Eh?
12:40Dad, you're all over the place.
12:42There's no food in the fridge.
12:45The place is a tip.
12:47I'm walking on eggshells in case you kick off.
12:49I don't kick off.
12:50When do I kick off?
12:51I might let things slip a little bit, but that's okay now.
12:55And you and me, we're okay.
12:57Yeah, but...
13:02I want to go and live with Abbey for a bit.
13:09What?
13:10No!
13:11I said it was okay, just for a few days.
13:14And I said no.
13:15What is this?
13:16Gang up on Kev Day?
13:18I'm gonna go pack a bag, okay?
13:20Hello!
13:28Ooh!
13:30Got a cottage pie in the oven.
13:32Ooh!
13:32That's nice.
13:33Didn't have to do that.
13:34No, no, I just...
13:35I want it to be useful.
13:37I'll be ready in half an hour.
13:40Why don't you two chill for a bit?
13:43And, erm...
13:45I'm just gonna pop to the shop to get some peas.
13:47Yeah?
13:48Well, it's nice to come back to a home-cooked meal, isn't it?
13:52I won't be long.
13:52Yeah?
13:53I'm not complaining.
13:54No.
13:55Ooh, actually.
13:57Got a minute.
14:03Oh, you're ringing Bernard.
14:04Shh!
14:05Calling Bernard.
14:07Honestly.
14:14Hello, hi.
14:15Erm, sorry to trouble you.
14:17Erm, is this Bernard Bennett?
14:20Hi, yeah.
14:21It's, erm...
14:22It's Shona Ramsey.
14:23You went to school with my dad.
14:24Doug?
14:27Yeah.
14:28Yeah.
14:28Erm, well, the thing is, we kind of lost touch.
14:30And I was just wondering if you knew where he was these days?
14:36Mm-hm.
14:36Oh, okay.
14:41Erm, well, I mean, do you know anybody who might be able to help?
14:46All right.
14:47Okay.
14:49Thanks.
14:49Bye.
14:50Bye now.
14:50Bye.
14:51Oh, look then.
14:52No.
14:53What did he say?
14:54Well, he said, apparently, they've not seen each other in years.
14:57Which is weird, because they were best mates.
14:59Well, people can lose touch.
15:04Oh, I know.
15:04I just really want to find my dad.
15:06I just don't know how.
15:10Are you sure you're okay with this?
15:12He said what he wanted.
15:13Just go.
15:14Maybe I should stay.
15:19Oh, no.
15:20No, you've made your mind up.
15:21You go.
15:22Tell the truth.
15:23I don't want you here.
15:24I'm better off on my own.
15:25I can do what I want.
15:27I don't need anybody.
15:28Well, you don't mean that.
15:30Just go, will you?
15:31Why is no one listening to me?
15:33Go on, go.
15:34Both of you.
15:35Come on, kid.
15:36Come on.
15:45Ah, we meet again.
15:48Andy, right?
15:48Val.
15:49Sorry.
15:50Devendra.
15:51And, er...
15:52Bernadine.
15:52Bernadine.
15:53Er, can I get you a drink?
15:55Er, thank you, but we're kind of on a day.
15:57Point a bit of quality time into our marriage.
15:59Yeah, of course.
16:01Sorry.
16:02You have a lovely evening.
16:04That's right.
16:04Certainly going to try.
16:07You've got a drink, then?
16:09Er, yes, please.
16:10Can we have a double scotch and a pint, please?
16:13Snake back, please.
16:14Yes.
16:15Please.
16:18When you're ready.
16:19Hmm.
16:20Yeah, it's just people change their minds, you know.
16:22And when they change their minds, drinks get wasted.
16:26Yeah, won't change my mind.
16:29All right, then.
16:31Cool.
16:33So, are we okay?
16:35Yeah.
16:36Because you were like a little standoffish with Mr Mal there.
16:40Well, he's a tradesman doing a job for Roy.
16:42He's not been you best, mate.
16:43But, honey, a good man has cost an hour, as they say.
16:45It's all right.
16:46It's all right.
16:46Shall I get him over here so you can have a drink with him?
16:48Honey, I am kidding.
16:50Okay, you're right.
16:51Tonight's about me and you.
16:52Okay, I'm sure Mr Mal can take care of himself.
16:54Yeah.
16:55Cheers.
16:56That downstairs door was wide open, you know.
17:11Hiya.
17:22Hi.
17:23Hey, that downstairs door was wide open, you know.
17:26I, um, that's me. I must have forgot.
17:29Ah. You all right?
17:30Yeah, fine.
17:31I was just wondering if you fancy popping down the pub with me and Chrissie.
17:35Oh, I'm okay. Theo's gone to see his mum and dad and they'll be back soon.
17:40Sure. I'm buying.
17:42Honestly, George, I'm fine.
17:43Right. Okay. Well, I won't twist your arm, eh. See you tomorrow.
17:47Ta-ra, mate.
17:49Bye, mate.
17:50I get a lovely meal.
18:11Then, I get to try some posh new cognac.
18:15What's cognac?
18:18It's brandy.
18:20All right.
18:21Back to Tim when you're ready, please.
18:23Yeah.
18:24And I'm finished.
18:30I told you I wasn't interested.
18:32And I got the message.
18:33Loud and clear.
18:34But I need this job.
18:37I didn't know you worked for Roy Cropper.
18:39I love my husband.
18:41I can see that.
18:43He's a lucky man.
18:45Don't say that.
18:46I'm sorry.
18:47Look, we had one really great night.
18:51And it really helped me.
18:52And I'll never forget that.
18:54And I promise I will stay out of your way.
18:56And as soon as I finish this job at the Capres, I'll be gone.
18:59Okay.
19:00Okay, thank you.
19:01Okay.
19:29If you want round two, you'll have to come back tomorrow.
19:45I don't want another fight.
19:46Really?
19:47Because I thought you and I would care for working as some sort of tag team.
19:52Why'd you do it?
19:54Oh, the hotel.
19:57Well, number one.
19:59I think Ryan will do a brilliant job.
20:02And two, I didn't want to tie you down.
20:07What do you mean, tie me down?
20:09Well, you've not exactly got a good fan club round here at the moment, have you?
20:13And if I end up in prison, there'll be nothing for you to stay for.
20:18You can't trust me, you know.
20:20Can I?
20:21Haven't I already proven that?
20:24Who's been keeping your business going?
20:25Me.
20:26Ryan's done nothing.
20:27Ryan's been a good friend to me over the years.
20:30I trust him.
20:31I've known him a long time.
20:33I'm your brother.
20:34Look how we dealt with them robbers.
20:35Eh?
20:36I owe him.
20:38Do you think this is easy for me?
20:39No.
20:41No, no, of course not.
20:44I know it's hard for you right now and Ronnie told me what you're doing for Kev, but it's not your job to take care of us.
20:49Oh, yes, it is.
20:51It is my job.
20:53And I don't know how long I can keep doing it for, do I?
20:58How long have I got before I'm incarcerated?
21:02And all this family keep doing is shouting at each other and falling out.
21:06Hey, hey, I'm not shouting now, am I?
21:07Well, I'm shouting because I'm terrified.
21:11I'm going to jail.
21:13You're not.
21:14Oh, yes, I am.
21:15I am and I know I am.
21:17And do you know what scares me the most?
21:20What?
21:20Being on me own, locked up in me own head, away from everybody I love.
21:29And what if while I'm in that, my, um, what does everybody call it, my condition, my illness?
21:34No, let's give it its full title, eh?
21:36My vascular dementia.
21:37What, when I'm in there, that gets worse?
21:41What if I forget who you are?
21:43What if I forget who you are?
22:13What if I forget who you are?
