00:26I hope that tastes as good
00:29as it smells. You can always rely on a Bailey for a good breakfast. On a weekday though, eh?
00:36What's all this in aid of? Well, no reason. You know, as they say, an army marches on their
00:44stomach. Didn't realise we were at war. Here we go. Thank you. Get me phone for me, will
00:53you? Sure. Here you are. Oh, thank you. You are welcome. Good morning. Ronnie's cafe. Yes,
01:07speaking. Sorry. Can you say that again, please? Yeah. Yeah, of course. Yeah, I'm coming now.
01:19I'm on my way. Yeah, thanks. Bye. How could you? No. No, don't you look at me like that.
01:33Carl is in hospital. And I'm assuming you put him in there. Oh, er, hold on a minute.
01:42Debbie, just... Morning, Jodie. Morning, Lils. Oh, do we not get a good morning? You know,
01:47if we are going to let you keep that tablet, I don't want your head buried in it. Right,
01:51just because you're tired, don't take it out on me. All right, less than that. In fact,
01:57come over here, put that down. Eat some breakfast now. Yeah, or do we need to send you that in
02:01a notification? Yeah, right. We have to do a new job trucking.
02:10Carl Webster. I was told he was in here. I'm his mother. Yes, er, if you'd like to take a
02:18seat, I'll ask a doctor to come see you as soon as they're available. How bad is it?
02:26I mean, what exactly did you do to him? Okay, er, I hit him. But I didn't think he'd
02:34end up here. He's probably just milking it. How could you do this?
02:39He deserved it. To me? How could you do it to me?
02:43He's no innocent party. Think of everything he has done. What was I meant to do?
02:49I don't know, Ronnie, but not beat me son up. He's never acted like your son. For a moment
02:55there, I thought you was beginning to see it. I'm only human, Debbie, and I can only be
02:59pushed so far. And I'm trying with every fibre of my being to protect you, to protect us.
03:06And for that, I'm sorry. I'm not going to apologise. Not now. Not ever.
03:14Okay. Yeah, I better go, Mum. I'll keep you posted.
03:21What was that all about? What?
03:24Ollie, I've got enough going on without worrying about people discussing things behind my back son.
03:29I wasn't doing anything bad.
03:31So now you want to control everything? After someone came into our life, did that to Will,
03:35now you want to call the shots? Oh, you said that was my fault?
03:38Well, it's your job to protect him. Yeah, it is. And I failed him.
03:41Now, does that make you feel better, Ollie? You missed the signs and all you know.
03:44Well, let's just forget about it then, yeah? Because it's not like the police are going to do anything.
03:47Or you, by the look of it. All right. I think you both need to calm down.
03:51And I don't deserve you getting all paranoid when I'm only on the phone chatting to my mum.
03:56Maybe we should have just stayed with her. Will would have certainly been a lot safer.
04:02Yeah. Oh. Oh, well, you have been super helpful, Marvin. Honestly.
04:08Yes. Thank you. And I will get him to send the email to you as soon as possible.
04:13Yes, I will. I will. Oh, thank you so much. OK. Ta-ta. Yes, take care. Bye-bye. Bye.
04:24Who are you laughing with?
04:25I have just managed to secure a prime slot for an advert in the Gazette.
04:30And I've also managed to charm my way into 50% off.
04:36What for?
04:38For this place? Oh, dear me. Honestly.
04:41Look, don't worry. I'm not going to suggest we do a, like, buy one, get one free voucher.
04:46I just think, you know, good old-fashioned advert.
04:49Breathe a bit of life into this business, you know? So to speak.
04:52I'm not sure. Oh, love. Come on.
04:55You've got to rebuild, Georgie. You've got to put your best foot forward and all that.
05:00Plus, the Gazette are doing a bumper edition for the Centenary of Salford, so loads of people are going to
05:06see it.
05:07Mm-hm. Hey?
05:09Hiya. Hiya. Hello, lovey.
05:11Have you heard from Todd?
05:12Er, yes. He is getting lots of rest, by the sounds of it.
05:15Oh, yeah. A few more days in a lovely countryside cottage playing Scrabble with Sarah.
05:20You can feel a lot brighter. Yeah.
05:22And how are you feeling, lovey?
05:25I just can't stop thinking about Theo.
05:28Being out there like nothing's even happened.
05:31No. Well, he can't hurt Todd any more. We're going to see to that.
05:34Right?
05:38Are they that bad? I've reduced you to tears.
05:40No, they're great. Proper lovely.
05:45Are you sure?
05:46You just caught me off guard. I thought you were going to go with something funny and not smushy.
05:50I thought you just started with Carla Connor. You have the right to remain silent.
05:55Oh, yeah. Great idea. Why don't I think of that?
05:57I know. Don't change it a pair of bags.
06:02Are we all right? Do you need a minute along?
06:04Well, I've either been chopping onions or they are the most amazing wedding vows I've ever read.
06:09Oh!
06:13You've done them already, have you? Eh?
06:15Yeah.
06:16I mean, it took me a few weeks, but I think I'm finally there.
06:19Yeah. Me too.
06:21Yeah. Good to get them done, ain't it?
06:23Yeah.
06:24Right.
06:25I am going to take Freddy for a walk so Carla can fill you in on a hen-do.
06:28I thought I was coming to yours.
06:30Oh, my darling girl. How could I possibly enjoy the stripper if you're there?
06:34OK. And the tears have stopped.
06:36That mental image will cost me at least an hour in therapy.
06:39You bet I'm only kidding.
06:42But seriously, come on.
06:44Do you really want to hang out with a load of boring coppers?
06:48So we're going to be shop talk. Go to college and have fun with your workmates.
06:51Hello.
06:51Oh, these are great, Kev. You spoil him.
06:55Oh, er, sorry to disturb her.
06:58Oh, don't worry. You're not.
07:00Oh, I take it you guys haven't heard from Debbie.
07:03Is she OK?
07:05Yeah, er, well, no, she's fuming.
07:08Erm, I had an altercation with Carl last night.
07:11Now there's a surprise.
07:13And he ended up in A&E this morning.
07:15But you put him in hospital?
07:17No, well, yeah.
07:19Maybe I was rougher than I thought, but I didn't think I hurt him that bad.
07:23He got what he deserved.
07:24I won't be losing sleep over him.
07:26What is it about you blokes trying to sort everything out with your face?
07:30This is exactly what he would have wanted.
07:32Anyone can see he's been goading you for weeks, Ronnie.
07:35Now you just played right into his hands.
07:37I take it she's with him now.
07:38Yeah, she's at hospital.
07:41I thought you were smarter than this.
07:43So what am I supposed to do?
07:44Just let him say and do whatever he wants to.
07:46No consequences.
07:47Oh, there'll be consequences, but for you.
07:49Look, if I know anything about Carl, he's always two steps ahead.
07:54I guess we'll see what price he'll make you pay.
08:02Hi.
08:04How you feeling?
08:07Bruised.
08:08Suspected broken rib.
08:12Look, Carl.
08:13Save him.
08:15I know you're only here to do his bidding for him.
08:19That's not why I'm here at all.
08:21You've come to play the duty for Mum, have you?
08:22Yeah.
08:24You forgot your grapes.
08:26I did pop your name down as me next of kin.
08:30Didn't really trust the others to not switch me off if it came to him.
08:32Oh, Carl.
08:34Mr Webster, I'm here to ask you a few questions about the assault.
08:38Great.
08:40Thanks.
08:41Grab a seat.
08:44If you...
08:45If you won't mind giving us a few minutes, please, Mum.
08:55Can I text you?
08:56Yeah, I know I just needed a walk.
08:58Yeah, I could have come with you.
08:59Oh, is this the part where we review the argument and you tell me I was out of line and
09:04stick
09:04up for Ollie as always?
09:05Well, that's not fair.
09:06I know you're upset, but don't take it out on me.
09:08And you shouldn't be taking it out on Ollie either.
09:11What you said wasn't nice, but you didn't do anything behind your back.
09:13Oh, so it is my fault then?
09:15No, I'm not saying that.
09:17The police aren't going to do anything about this.
09:20She's getting away with it.
09:22Ben.
09:24Ben, we need to talk about it.
09:27Go find Megan.
09:29What?
09:30I've already tried to make it better.
09:31Now it's your turn.
09:33Make it better?
09:34She had a miscarriage.
09:36I can't...
09:36I'm not coming behind his back.
09:37That's exactly what you do.
09:39And do what?
09:56Wondering what I said?
09:58Yeah, I am actually.
10:00Mind you pull up a seat, eh, Mum?
10:02Let's have a good old chat about that husband of yours.
10:08So...
10:10I told them it's all a bit fuzzy.
10:13Depending on how this chat goes, my memory might come flooding back.
10:19What do you want?
10:22Well, let me just try and recap all this.
10:24And please feel free to correct me if I get anything wrong.
10:27But my recently discovered mother
10:30only revealed that she's my mother because she has dementia.
10:34That's not fair.
10:35Ben tries to make up for decades of lies,
10:37but then marries a man who hates me.
10:40And when his threats don't work,
10:42he attacks me.
10:44In the street.
10:46What, and you're blameless, are you?
10:48Look at all the stuff you've done.
10:50And yet you're sitting up there on your pedestal.
10:53Yes, I have made mistakes, but I am trying.
10:56I'm trying to put things right.
10:58And Ronnie is not to blame in all this.
11:00Oh, so you're picking his side then?
11:02Even though he put me in hospital?
11:06Oh, Ollie, wait.
11:08You need to talk to your father.
11:09No, I really don't.
11:10Let him explain.
11:12What, that he's got anger issues?
11:13I already know that.
11:19Ollie's just gone through.
11:20If you hurry, you'll catch him.
11:21I'll let him cool off.
11:23I'll chat to him later.
11:24Where's Eva?
11:26She'll be at Megan's by now.
11:28What?
11:29Why?
11:30Why?
11:31Because we need to fix this.
11:33One way or another.
11:34Eva is right.
11:35Megan is the enemy.
11:36No one else.
11:38And at least she's doing something.
11:48Oh.
11:49You all right?
11:50Yeah.
11:51Yeah.
11:52What are you checking them out for?
11:55Just jobs.
11:56Like you said.
11:58I mean, not driving, but, well, I thought they might need office staff or something.
12:02Oh.
12:03You've already got a job that minute, haven't you?
12:05Well, the cafe's shut.
12:07And I lost my nanny and job, didn't I?
12:09Besides, that'd be better pay, wouldn't it?
12:11I could start chipping in more.
12:14Yeah.
12:15I suppose Shona will be happy.
12:16Are you planning on sticking around, I guess?
12:20Just Shona?
12:23Well, I mean, we all will.
12:29I mean, I could search online for wedding vow ideas, but it feels a little bit impersonal.
12:35Well, no, not if you use it as a template, you know, as a framework and I can add the
12:40detail.
12:40Well, you've been staring at that paper for an hour, how much detail's on it?
12:43Yeah, but I...
12:46I don't know how to find the words, do I?
12:48No good at that.
12:49It's what gifts are for.
12:52I mean, you buy a gift, someone feels loved, it's easy.
12:56Yeah, start with how you buy people's affection.
12:58I do not.
13:00It's my love language.
13:02Have I told you lately I feel really in love?
13:04Oh.
13:05Nice try, no cigar.
13:07My purse is shut.
13:10Look, I just don't want to get it wrong, do I?
13:12I don't want to disappoint her.
13:14You won't.
13:16Right, come on.
13:18You have done this before, what did you put in your last vows?
13:20Well, basically made loads of promises I arguably didn't keep, didn't I?
13:25Yeah, maybe not that then.
13:28You know, Peter did get something off the internet.
13:31He did, and it was really good, and I can see why now.
13:33OK, let's tackle this another way.
13:35What do writers do when they get writer's block?
13:38I don't know, Betsy!
13:41They drink.
13:45Now you're talking.
13:54Ewa!
13:55She's not here.
13:57The place is empty.
13:58Well, then what are you doing?
14:00I'm trying to fix it.
14:02I don't know what I'm going to do, but I need to try and fix it somehow.
14:06Hey, it's OK.
14:07I just didn't realise how angry I was until I got here.
14:14We failed him, Ben.
14:17We have failed him.
14:18And what? She just gets away with it.
14:22I just thought that if she was...
14:24If she was made to pay in some way, then it might...
14:28It might just hurt a bit less.
14:31Babe, nothing we can do is going to make this hurt any less.
14:35And you and Ollie are at each other's throats.
14:38Seriously, my home feels like a war zone.
14:40All right, calm down.
14:42Look, this is not how we solve this.
14:44How do we solve it?
14:45That's what I'm asking you.
14:46How do we fix this, Ben?
14:56Do your day as bad as mine?
14:58What?
15:00Or you just... you look miles away.
15:02Do I?
15:04Is anything wrong?
15:07Er...
15:08No, the exact opposite, actually.
15:12Carl, he, erm...
15:14He got beaten up last night and ended up in A&E.
15:17Oh.
15:18Is he OK?
15:18The man's a cockroach.
15:20He'd survive an apocalypse.
15:23I just hate that, if I'm being honest,
15:27a part of me is happy that it happened.
15:30Am I a horrible person?
15:32No, not at all.
15:34I mean, after everything you went through,
15:36of course you're going to feel a bit conflicted.
15:42Do they know who's done it?
15:44Kev didn't say, do you know what, I'm overthinking it.
15:46It's not my problem anymore.
15:47And if you go around upsetting people, like he does,
15:50it catches up with you eventually.
15:53I guess what goes around comes around.
15:56Something like that.
15:57See ya.
16:14You're not supposed to be here. Get out.
16:16No, no, it's all right.
16:17So I've just come to pick some bits up.
16:19Not looking for trouble.
16:21Try to time it, you know, so Todd's away.
16:25But I, erm, did want a word with my ex-stepdaughter.
16:29I need to set the record straight.
16:32We have security cameras running.
16:35Security cameras?
16:40Good.
16:41Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good.
16:47Not much.
16:57I went to prison for ya!
17:00Or has that slipped your mind?
17:02It's not even a drop in the ocean to what you owe me.
17:05Oh, right.
17:06Yeah, yeah.
17:07I get it.
17:08Why, oh, yeah.
17:08Yeah, right.
17:09Okay.
17:10I understand.
17:11I wronged ya.
17:13But the only person who's, who's robbed ya of a good life, do you know who that is?
17:20Hmm.
17:21It's you.
17:22And you're still doing it.
17:25Right, Cal.
17:26We can work this out, yeah?
17:28We, we can fix this.
17:30It's all too little too late, Mum.
17:34You can't make me responsible for all the pain that you feel in your life.
17:39You just can't!
17:43I thought spending time together would mean something to ya.
17:49There, till the bitter end you've said.
17:51Didn't ya?
17:52Eh?
17:55Was that one of your many lies and all?
17:59Oh, dear God.
18:02I think I will tell them it was Ronnie.
18:10You are capable of changing her.
18:17But you just don't want to, do ya?
18:25Do you know what, Cal?
18:28I think that's a blessing, though.
18:31Because one day...
18:34I might not remember that you're my son.
18:39But at least I won't be ashamed of ya!
18:56And unless you want to spend...
18:58what limited time you have left talking to Ronnie behind glass...
19:03then you're gonna have to give up the one thing you've truly loved.
19:08I want half of that hotel written over to me.
19:11Not in a will.
19:13Now.
19:18Come on, then.
19:20Say what you need to and then leave.
19:23Confident.
19:25Never seen this side to you before, didn't know you had it in ya.
19:28You have no idea what I'm capable of.
19:33It's always the quiet ones, innit?
19:36Yeah.
19:37Look, Todd is fine.
19:39He's happy.
19:41He doesn't miss you at all.
19:42He's moving on.
19:44Well...
19:44Is that right?
19:48Look, have you just come in here to taunt me?
19:51Why would I do that?
19:54Now.
19:57Just, er...
19:58wanted to say that one day you'll see all this for what it really is.
20:04And how good Todd is at manipulating people.
20:08Are you for real?
20:09I'm not the bad guy, are you?
20:12Alright? When you realise that, I just want you to know I forgive you.
20:14Alright? It's not your fault you fell for his lies.
20:17You're sick.
20:19I know my truth.
20:20You killed Billy.
20:22Killed him!
20:23When I had already lost Paul,
20:25and now the only person I have left is Todd,
20:28who is totally destroyed by what you did to him!
20:38I thought you said Todd was fine without me.
20:42It's a sin to lie, Summer.
20:45Did Daddy Billy not teach you that?
20:48You're pure evil.
20:49Agree to disagree.
20:52Right.
20:56Get out!
21:07You should have seen Billy's face when he was pleading for his life.
21:12Our Father who art in Heaven.
21:15Pathetic, really.
21:18Todd is mine.
21:21Don't make me bury you two.
21:25Ta-ra.
21:48Lovely new man at work.
21:50Yes.
21:50Could you spill the tea on how you met?
21:52He is a cameraman.
21:54I thought that was it.
21:55Who is it?
21:57I'm not marrying any of these cameramen.
21:59No, he's lovely. You're lovely.
22:14You're lovely.
