00:00I
00:34Who is it?
00:36It's me.
00:45Hiya.
00:48You off a few rounds?
00:50Hey.
00:52You swinging that about?
00:54Yeah, I'm just doing a bit of tidying up.
00:58Go on then.
01:00What?
01:01Tidy up.
01:15Right, so, er...
01:17Are you going to actually tell me what's going on?
01:21What do you mean? There's nothing going on.
01:23Come on, Bernie, something's up, so why don't you just tell me?
01:29Right, well, I'm going to go and make a brew.
01:32And just to remind you, I'm a trained interrogator.
01:42Little token of my affection.
01:45Oh, what a lovely gift.
01:47Do you think so? Do you like it?
01:49Where did you get this picture of me from?
01:51I took it of you last week when you were measuring out Ken's American hard gums.
01:56I'm afraid I've been too preoccupied with the theft of my book to get you anything.
02:00Well, surely you've got her a card.
02:02Oh, come on, he'd have to walk all the way to the card rack.
02:05I couldn't get you one of those.
02:06You know, the price for a start.
02:08Better than nothing.
02:10I am the victim of crime.
02:12A casualty of Hope Dobbsy's malfeasance.
02:15A statistic.
02:17Give over.
02:18What if the thief was disturbed?
02:21And the book was only the start, you know, like a dangerous career criminal or something.
02:26I hadn't considered that.
02:31Water a cola cubes, please.
02:34So this mouth, you reckon this was him?
02:37Who else could it be?
02:39Why have you waited this long to tell me?
02:41Well, I wasn't planning on telling anyone.
02:44It was one night.
02:46It was a stupid mistake.
02:49Besides, I know what you're like.
02:52What's that supposed to mean?
02:53Well, you love to play the hero, don't you?
02:56And there's no need.
02:57I can look after myself this time.
02:59All right, so what are you going to do?
03:00Are you going to take a golf club out next time you leave the house?
03:03Just tell me where I can find him.
03:06I don't want you fighting me battles.
03:08I'm not fighting your battles.
03:09I'm just going to have a quiet word burner.
03:11And it'll be you back on desk duty if you're caught, and I'm not having that, OK?
03:15All right.
03:17At least I'm reporting for the break-in.
03:20Fine.
03:21Good.
03:22Well, I think that's everything.
03:25Thank you for your time, Mrs Ripley.
03:26And we'll be sure to give your sister the send-off she deserves.
03:30Well, if it's anything like the job you did for my late husband, I know I'm in good hands.
03:36Bless you.
03:37And I'll let you know when you can come in and do her hair.
03:39It's a beehive, isn't it?
03:41She'd never be seen out in public without one.
03:44Lovely.
03:45Mind you, I'd expect nothing less for Weatherfield's top Dusty Springfield impersonator.
03:49She'd be sorely missed in them clubs.
03:52May you clean yourself into another little old lady's will, are you?
03:55You're a...
03:56Ignore my cleaner.
03:58She thinks she's a comedian.
04:00Now, I'll give you a call, Mrs Ripley, and let you...
04:04What did you say that for?
04:09I thought she'd gone.
04:11Even if she had, this is not a joke.
04:14One with a scandal in this business and you're finished.
04:16He's all right.
04:17Well, I'm very sorry.
04:18Yeah, you and me both.
04:20And will you pack it in with that spray?
04:22It's getting right on my chest.
04:24Either that or I'm having a flipping heart attack with all this stress.
04:35Oh, all right.
04:39Good boy.
04:41Better out than in.
04:43Right, come on, quick.
04:44Quick.
04:46Oh, how are you, sis?
04:48Quite like the sound of that, sis.
04:50Oh, hang on, what was I saying now? I've forgotten.
04:52Oh, yeah.
04:53Are you doing anything today?
04:54Don't think so.
04:55Well, David's sitting with Harper, so I booked us a pamper session at Audrey's, you know,
05:01to say thanks.
05:03Oh, what for?
05:05What for?
05:06Well, for looking after him for a star, walking him every day.
05:09And just, you know, for everything.
05:11I wouldn't have coped without you.
05:13Thanks.
05:22Oh, flippin' it.
05:25You put your foot in it again.
05:27It's absolutely disgusting.
05:29I bet I can cheer you up.
05:30But you can't.
05:31How does access all areas at County sound?
05:34It's a freebie from the brewery.
05:36Get to meet and greet the new manager.
05:38Watch the players' train.
05:39Thought I might take your mind off your dad on that dog muck.
05:41Mate, I'm all over it.
05:43Yeah, and that'll be all over my car, so go and change your shoes.
05:45No, no.
05:47All right.
05:48Hey, listen, mate.
05:49I'm going to go and meet County's new manager and all the players,
05:51so yeah, I'm all right.
05:54What with him?
05:55Thought you didn't like football.
05:57I don't.
05:57I do like hanging out with my mates, though.
05:59All right.
06:00That includes you, Tim.
06:01Come on.
06:02No, I haven't got time, mate.
06:03Sally got you clean in the chimney here again.
06:05A shake.
06:06Well, what are you waiting for, then?
06:08All right, go on, then.
06:09I bag's in front, please.
06:15You seem a little distracted, if you don't mind me safe.
06:20Do you know how long I've been in this business, Roy?
06:22Oh, well, that's a good while, I imagine.
06:26Twenty years.
06:28Considerable achievement.
06:29Yeah.
06:29And everyone that comes through my door,
06:31they get treated with dignity and respect.
06:34My dad taught me that.
06:36Used to say it was sacrosanct.
06:38We are all equal in death.
06:41A noble sentiment.
06:45Oh, yeah.
06:48Now, before you say anything,
06:50I just can't...
06:51Can I just...
06:52Can I just apologise again?
06:53No, listen.
06:54Listen.
06:55If you're that worried about Annie,
06:58here's your solution.
07:01This is why you've dragged me in here?
07:02Yeah, yeah.
07:03He needs your help.
07:04He needs your representation.
07:05Have a seat.
07:06This dreadful woman,
07:07she's been saying all sorts, hasn't she?
07:09I know.
07:10Don't tell me where he's got round already.
07:11Not exactly.
07:13But I'm afraid that dreadful woman
07:14has hired me to contest the will.
07:16I suggested we settle through mediation,
07:18but I'm not very hopeful.
07:19But she's already involved solicitors.
07:21Yeah, I'm afraid so.
07:22And my advice is you do the same thing,
07:24but it can't be me.
07:26Oh, look.
07:28There's got to be a way round.
07:29Yeah.
07:31Yeah.
07:31You mean you're hungover?
07:33No.
07:34No, I do not.
07:35And do you want to know why?
07:37I don't have time for headaches.
07:39I don't have that luxury.
07:42Right.
07:42Take your day off sick.
07:47Glenda's hungover.
07:48I heard it was a headache.
07:49Oh, Roy.
07:51Who'd have staff?
07:53Well, I couldn't run this place without.
07:55Yeah, we're no trouble, are we, Roy?
07:57I mean, I know I was a bit late this morning,
07:59but that's because I had to sort something out at home.
08:01It wasn't a problem, Tom.
08:03There she is.
08:04Look.
08:06What do you want?
08:07I want to know what you've been saying to him.
08:08This is none of your business.
08:10It is when she's spouting a load of rubbish about me.
08:12Does she tell you about our night in the hotel?
08:14Does she?
08:14About the drugs?
08:15Do you want to shut your mouth?
08:17Do you want to make me?
08:17Come on, then.
08:18Let's see the real burn here,
08:19the nasty, common, dirty little coward that you really are.
08:23How dare you come in here harassing my staff like this?
08:26I would ask you to leave.
08:27What are you defending her for?
08:28She's now...
08:29Immediately.
08:30You've rattled the wrong cage, love.
08:42All right.
08:43Oh, I think we're getting a speech.
08:44Yep.
08:45Buckle up, because it's going to be a long one.
08:47Oh, do I need to ring Liam and tell him he's making his own dinner?
08:49No, I'm only messing.
08:51But no, seriously, I wanted to say, since having Harper, things have been really hard.
09:00Amazing, amazing, but yeah.
09:03We know.
09:06And next week she's having her operation, and I've never been so frightened in all my life.
09:15But I've had someone by my side, helping me, keeping me going, chipping in when I've needed it and backing
09:23off when I've not.
09:25And I couldn't have done it without you.
09:27I mean it, thank you.
09:30To Jodie.
09:31To Jodie.
09:33Fab, let's get this pamper party started.
09:41Ties in one day, can't be bad.
09:42Popped into the cafe to see you.
09:44Roy said Mal was in kicking off.
09:47What's he telling you that for?
09:50Because he's worried about you, Bernie.
09:51I am.
09:52Need to report this, Mal, for harassment.
09:55Right, and how are they going to prove that it's him that broke in?
09:57Right, well, you need to do something.
09:59And I am.
09:59What exactly?
10:00I'm going to tell Dev everything before Mal does.
10:03I should have done it at the start, I could kick myself.
10:05Right, well, just tell me where to find him, and he won't have a chance to tell Dev a thing.
10:11Bernadine Simone, my party in every storm, the wind beneath my wing.
10:15I'm getting off.
10:16Good decision, son, because Mummy and I have got a bit of catching up to do.
10:19Oh, can you at least wait till we're gone?
10:21Clock's a ticking.
10:23Right, I'm going to summer.
10:24See you later.
10:25Right, thanks for popping in, son, and I'll think on what you said.
10:28Yeah, you do that.
10:31Boy, have I missed you.
10:33Right, we need to talk.
10:35That night in the hotel.
10:36What about it?
10:37I've not been honest with you.
10:38Nope.
10:39I wasn't alone.
10:39Nope.
10:40I was with a fella.
10:41Yep.
10:42And he kissed me.
10:48He won't.
11:07What are you thinking?
11:08Clearly you never tell me the whole truth.
11:11I do.
11:12Yeah, eventually, when it suits you, when your hand's been forced.
11:15Now, what does that say about this relationship, and what does that say about us?
11:19Right, when I told you about the drugs, you went proper under.
11:21I don't see the point in making it worse.
11:22It couldn't get any worse.
11:26Could it?
11:28He's making a nuisance of himself, isn't he?
11:32He's being all stalker-ish.
11:36And I'm not sure, but...
11:43I think he broke into the house.
11:47Right, and I called the police.
11:49They said there's nothing they can do.
11:50I knew they wouldn't.
11:52Or maybe he had a key or something.
11:56He's all right, snide.
11:57Okay, my daughter, she sleeps in this house.
12:00This is her home.
12:01She deserves to feel safe.
12:03I'm sorry.
12:04Okay, how did we get here?
12:07You know, whatever you've done in the past, whatever mistakes you've made,
12:10I always believe that you made them for the right reasons,
12:13that they came from the heart, from a good place.
12:18But not this!
12:24Not this.
12:35Joan said she's not sure she wants us burying her sister.
12:39Oh, come on.
12:41She'll come round.
12:43Oh, love.
12:46I can't bear to see you like this, you know.
12:49I'll tell you what.
12:50I'll do a bit of stand-up for you, shall I?
12:52Keep you entertained.
12:54Did you hear the one about the undertaker who swindled widows?
12:57Did he bury the evidence?
12:59No.
13:00Very good.
13:01Love, you've not swindled anybody.
13:03Yeah, but that's not what the folk round here are going to think, is it,
13:05once I'm up in court, are they?
13:07Joan?
13:09She's just the beginning.
13:12Oh, I don't know.
13:24Right, what are we doing, then?
13:26You do realise she's started out her career grooming dogs, don't you?
13:30Wouldn't let her anywhere near my hair stick that she's in.
13:32Oh, you cheeky mare, I've only had a couple.
13:35Yeah, of litres.
13:36Oh.
13:38Now, do you know what, actually, your hair is just beautiful as it is, isn't it?
13:42Oh, it's her.
13:44So, how's Harper?
13:45Oh, she's great.
13:47David is such a doting daddy.
13:49Honestly, you should see him with her.
13:51He is so cute.
13:56Well, I never thought I'd see the day when, oh dear, David being described as cute.
14:03I must say, though, Shona, honestly, you have been the making of that, lad.
14:07You really have.
14:09Right, so, what are we doing, then?
14:12Why don't you forget that and you can come over here and get your nails done instead?
14:15Yeah, I'll only be two tigs.
14:16Yeah.
14:22Will there be a spate?
14:24Are you going to go on about this all night?
14:27Well, he's right to be worried, Rita.
14:29I'm only letting two schoolchildren in at a time.
14:33Yeah, but you work at a flower shop.
14:35You don't get two children in there in a year.
14:38Yeah, but maybe if you invested more in libraries, people wouldn't resort to stealing novels.
14:42Save it for your Marxist meetings, Kenneth.
14:46Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to ring the police again.
14:50Check on the investigation.
14:52Well, ask them to put you through to the stolen boot division,
14:56because I'm a feeling you're the number one priority.
15:00Hey, everybody.
15:01You too, Grandad.
15:03Adam, Adam, come and join us.
15:05It's Rita's birthday and we're celebrating.
15:08Ah, happy birthday, Rita.
15:10Eh, I'm OK, thank you.
15:12Oh, of course.
15:13It's probably not in keeping with your debonair profile.
15:18But if anybody could pull it off, it would be you.
15:22I'm glad you liked it, fellas.
15:24Yeah, it was really good.
15:25Yeah, that new manager's great, you know.
15:27He's going to take us all the way next season.
15:28Three pints, please, ma.
15:30Two pints.
15:31Ah, don't be like that.
15:32Steve's a great lad once you get to know him.
15:34Give the man a beer.
15:35Glenda's off sick with a hangover and I'm rushed off my feet.
15:39So if your new pals here want pints, you pull them.
15:42I'm going on a break.
15:44And no skiving off, gassing with these two.
15:47You're here to work.
15:50Ben's a nice fella, isn't he?
15:52Yeah, the best.
15:54Well, second best, obviously.
15:56You're the best.
15:57You're the best.
15:57Yeah.
15:58Do you want to talk to a game of arrows?
15:59Yeah.
16:05Where's George?
16:06He's, um, he's too upset to come.
16:11Is he now?
16:12Well, how long is this going to take?
16:14Have a touch of frost on ketchup.
16:16OK, so, um, well, I just wanted to, um,
16:19I just wanted to explain my tasteless joke.
16:22And I wanted to give you a little bit of context, you see.
16:25Well, go on.
16:26Um, well, George is the victim of a slanderous campaign
16:33to, um, wreck his good name.
16:37Now, you know George.
16:38You know that he's a kind and caring person.
16:41In fact, he's so kind that a widow has left him
16:45a load of money in her will.
16:46Very generous.
16:47Well, no, not everybody thinks so,
16:48because now her family think that he has, um,
16:52twisted her arm, that he's, uh, you know, coerced her.
16:56He doesn't strike me as the type.
16:58Well, no, exactly.
16:59You know, I...
17:01Oh, a nicer man you could not hope to meet.
17:05He... he cares so much about his clients
17:07and he loves his job.
17:11I suppose what I'm saying to you is
17:14it would mean the world to him
17:17if you would let him carry on
17:18arranging your sister's send-off.
17:22It's not his fault that I can't keep my trap shut, you know.
17:31Oh, sorry, my phone's just ringing.
17:34Excuse me, I'll just...
17:34I have to answer this.
17:35That's all right.
17:37Two secs.
17:40Um...
17:41Hello, George.
17:42Hello, darling.
17:43You OK?
17:44Oh.
17:46Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
17:48Oh, I know you're so upset about Joan.
17:52Um...
17:52Yeah.
17:54Oh, no, darling, please don't cry.
17:56No.
17:56Who are you talking to?
17:59You, apparently.
18:01Me?
18:04I saw the message you sent to Joan.
18:07What are you doing, pretending to be me?
18:09I have an idea.
18:10You fed me a pack of lies since I got here.
18:14No.
18:15Er, no.
18:16Well, no, that...
18:18That wasn't George on the phone, no.
18:19But, no, what I was saying about his integrity being impugned,
18:23that was all true, honestly.
18:25I'm surprised you know the meaning of the word.
18:28I just want you to know, Mrs Ripley,
18:29I had nothing to do with this.
18:31I thought better of you, George Suttonworth.
18:34In the words of Dusty Springfield,
18:36believe me, believe me, I knew nout about it.
18:38How dare you using Dusty's words to emotionally blackmail me?
18:46My late sister will be spinning in her grave,
18:49and I wouldn't mind she's not been buried yet.
18:52I never, I swear.
18:54And as for you,
18:56I will never use Suttonworth's ever again.
18:59Oh, Mrs Ripley...
19:01Get your hands off me.
19:07Brilliant.
19:08And what were you going to do for an encore?
19:10Burn me business down and finish the job?
19:13Good grief.
19:15A very large scotch, please, son.
19:19Go, go.
19:21Always believe in your soul.
19:24You got the power to know
19:26you're indestructible.
19:29Oh, no.
19:30Always believe in.
19:32Oh.
19:34No look at the salon.
19:36Nope.
19:36We looked everywhere.
19:39Well,
19:39do you want me to go down there,
19:40see if I can find it?
19:42As I said,
19:42we looked everywhere.
19:44I can't believe I've lost my wedding ring.
19:46What am I going to tell David?
19:48Well,
19:48you know,
19:49he'll understand,
19:50you've got a lot on your plate.
19:52Right,
19:52let's have our tea,
19:53and then we'll turn this place upside down
19:54until we find it.
19:55You know what,
19:55I'm sure I had it at the salon
19:57before I had my nails done.
19:58There's no harm in looking,
19:59is there?
20:00Aye,
20:00I suppose.
20:03Oh,
20:04yeah,
20:05I only made enough or two,
20:07but
20:08it's getting a bit late anyway,
20:09so.
20:09Oh,
20:10yeah,
20:10yeah,
20:10don't worry,
20:11I'm not stopping anyway.
20:12Oh,
