00:23No, no. Alive and well. And if he's not, someone was trying to start an outboard motor down here last
00:27night.
00:29Sorry if he's kept you awake.
00:31Excuse me, I have been slightly congested lately.
00:35You've snored for as long as I can remember. I'm amazed you can't hear him through the wall.
00:39Well, now that you mention it. I've just got used to it.
00:42It's like people who live next to a train line or an airport.
00:46I can't believe you couldn't make it next door.
00:48Well, I've clearly conked out on here.
00:50Well, no surprise with the amount you put away, so I'm knocking you up a hangover breakfast.
00:55Ooh, you beauty.
00:56Hang on. You're meant to be giving me a lift to the retail park.
01:00Well, I need a bit of scranning to help me first. Be irresponsible to drive without.
01:03And that's in the highway code, is it?
01:05Don't get behind the wheel unless you've necked her full English.
01:08Well, it's plenty for the rest of us. And you can try my homemade baked beans.
01:12What's wrong with the tin?
01:14Well, nothing if you don't mind a dollop of bland, ultra-processed slop.
01:17Now sit yourselves down and prepare to be blown away.
01:20Well, if you're giving him beans after he's had a skinful, I'll be blown away all right.
01:25You and all.
01:27I made it with the caramel syrup. You know how you like it.
01:31You spoil him far too much.
01:34Right, I best get off. Don't want to be late on my first day.
01:37Excuse me.
01:38Good luck, darling.
01:40Mmm.
01:42That's a good one. Hey, new key.
01:45Good.
01:52Big day for her?
01:54Yeah.
01:56What about you? Have you gone watch home today?
01:58Same old.
02:00But it's not, is it?
02:02This isn't.
02:03No.
02:04Well, we don't do passive-aggressive. We talk. We always have.
02:09We talk?
02:11Yes.
02:13Look, I know you're hurting and you've got every right to, but don't bottle it up.
02:17Just tell me what you're thinking.
02:19Do you think that would help?
02:20Yes!
02:20Excuse me.
02:22Look, what you're feeling, it's not going to go away on its own.
02:25So, if you put it out there, we can face it together.
02:30Honesty's the only way to move past this.
02:32Honesty?
02:33Ha!
02:34Ha!
02:36Where was your honesty the morning after you betrayed me or every day since?
02:40Hmm?
02:41Because it seems to me, honey, that honesty is all well and good when it's convenient.
02:46I made a mistake.
02:49I regret it more than words can say.
02:50Listen, it's not about what you did anymore.
02:54Yeah, it hurts and I hate it, but I've been around the block, I can see how it can happen.
02:59No, it's this slow drip of truth as and when it suits you.
03:04I felt ashamed.
03:06I thought I was terrified I was going to lose you.
03:10Yeah, but this is how it ends.
03:12This, with your lies and your dishonesty when I'm sitting here wondering what other little secrets you've got.
03:17None.
03:19None, right? Honestly, you mean the world to me and I am so sorry for all the hurt that I've
03:24caused you.
03:25Sometimes sorry isn't enough.
03:26Right, only if you don't want it to be.
03:28Is that what you want?
03:29I don't know!
03:36I was desk tutor.
03:37I'm getting any splinters, I hope.
03:40Only in my soul.
03:41There's so much coffee in Sudoku a woman can handle and if they don't start out that buzzing strip light,
03:45I'm going to be in the tank for criminal damage.
03:48Change of scene, I suppose.
03:50Is there anything for me?
03:52Yeah, there is.
03:54A bloke was found lying in the street with a head injury.
03:57I think so a bloke's got drunk and fell over. It's not exactly a brink's mat height, is it?
04:01Oh, I don't know. Seemed in a pretty bad way, apparently. Had to be taken to hospital.
04:05He was looking into anyway, so.
04:07Right, well, as long as it don't take too long, I'm on a promise tonight.
04:12And that is the definition of far too much information. Thank you, DC Green.
04:33What are you doing?
04:35What's it look like?
04:36It looks like you're overreacting.
04:38After what you said?
04:39I don't think so.
04:41It might break my heart to do this all over again, but it's for the best.
04:45Yeah, what's for the best?
04:46What, you want anything done, dusted, put to bed straight away? Okay, it doesn't work like that, does it? Because
04:50this hurts!
04:50I know, and that is the last thing I wanted to do, but I'm going to keep on doing it
04:55because it's who I am!
04:57I don't remember.
05:01Which way are you going?
05:04I'm going to do my shift at the CAF and then...
05:08then it's my concern.
05:11I put you through enough.
05:14You deserve so much better than all the chaos that comes with me.
05:18Right, so you're running away again.
05:19Maybe, maybe not, but at least it'll give you the time and space to think about it.
05:24Say it! You're running away again!
05:31Drones are not picking up.
05:33Maybe she's busy, or...?
05:35Busy?
05:36She's an 84-year-old pensioner living in a park home, not Jeff flipping Bezos.
05:40Well, if he's busy, he's an idiot with all his money. Tell me what.
05:44Any day without sand between my toes would be a wasted one.
05:47Oh, she's definitely ignoring me.
05:49Oh, my love.
05:50I am so sorry that I stuck my beak in yesterday.
05:54What's done is done.
05:57It's the area now we have to deal with.
05:59I just think it'll be better all round if I was to decline the bequest from Annie's mother.
06:04No!
06:05No!
06:07You are entitled to that money!
06:09A court of law might rule otherwise.
06:12And if it does, the reputational damage will cost the damn site more than ten grand.
06:15Backing down's not going to make any odds.
06:17Well, maybe not, but it'll get Annie off the warpath, won't it?
06:19Or it'll vindicate her.
06:20I mean, what if it gets out right?
06:22People round here start going, hmm?
06:23Why did he back down?
06:25There must have been some truth behind the allegations.
06:27So I'm damned if I do take the money and I'm damned if I don't?
06:29Well, yes, maybe.
06:30But it'll be a lot easier with £10,000 to soften the blow.
06:34Oh, Chrissie.
06:34Oh, love.
06:36Look, Annie is...
06:39Well, she's minted to start with, with the bulk of her mother's estate on top.
06:44Are you honestly going to let some money mad woman push you around when you have done absolutely nothing wrong?
06:52No.
06:53No.
06:54No, you're right.
06:56All I'm guilty of is being attentive to the needs of my clients.
06:59Exactly.
07:00She needs to respect the wishes of her mother, and do you know what?
07:04You need to as well.
07:07Yes.
07:08Yes.
07:10Is Shona okay?
07:13Er, yeah, why?
07:14Well, I just bumped into her on the street this morning, that's how she was doing, and she was a
07:18bit short with me.
07:19Oh.
07:20Just ignore her.
07:21She's taken more heads off than guillotine lately.
07:24Well, it's understandable given the circumstances.
07:26Yeah, totally.
07:28Nothing worse than worrying about your child, believe me.
07:31Oh, yeah, I wasn't moaning.
07:32I mean, I totally get it.
07:33I was just a bit concerned about her.
07:35Yeah, I wouldn't worry.
07:37And plus, all this drama over her wedding ring and helping things.
07:40I said to her, look, babe, in grand scheme of things, don't worry, does it?
07:44Yeah, but if she could find the ring, it'd give her one less thing to worry about, wouldn't it?
07:47Yeah.
07:48You'll have to have another good look round here.
07:51Hey, actually, I think Liam's got an old metal detector somewhere, you know?
07:56Well, has it got a wedding ring setting?
07:57It's a modern building, Maria.
07:59It's full of metal.
07:59It's not a farmer's field.
08:01Right, I was only trying to help.
08:06Yeah, hello?
08:10Erm, well, I'm just at work.
08:13Can I wait?
08:16Well, I ain't got anyone now, but, I mean, we get walkings.
08:21All right, okay.
08:23All right, I'll be there in a minute.
08:25Right.
08:26What's up?
08:27Jodie.
08:28He wants me at home for summer.
08:30You're at work, aren't he?
08:31Were you?
08:31Well, apparently not.
08:33I've seen a bit.
08:35Guy's name is Malcolm Roper.
08:37Oh, yeah.
08:38He was brought in late last night.
08:40The exact time will be on his chart.
08:42Do you know what happened?
08:43It's hard to say.
08:45There was a little bruising on his upper arm suggesting an altercation.
08:48Did he say that?
08:49He didn't say much at all.
08:51He suffered a cardiac arrest and seemed to have struck his head on the pavement,
08:54though it could have happened the other way round, of course.
08:57Right, how's he doing now?
08:59He's sedated.
09:00In ICU.
09:01Intensive care?
09:02Is he that bad?
09:04Unfortunately, I'd have to describe Mr Roper's situation as critical.
09:09This way.
09:26You all right?
09:27Fine.
09:29What's going...
09:30I thought you'd been clobbered by a burglar.
09:32Come here, give us a hand with this.
09:34What are you doing?
09:35And if we haven't been burgled, why is the house such a stay?
09:38I've been turning the place upside down and inside out looking for Shona's wedding ring.
09:43Well, that's a waste of time.
09:45It'll be in a pawn shop window by now, or a magpie's nest.
09:48No, but that's why you're wrong, cos I can feel it.
09:51What, in your bones?
09:54No, in the chair.
09:55Stop standing there catching flies in your gob and help me.
09:58What?
09:59What do you want me to do?
10:00Just push the chair down a little bit.
10:02Well, I don't want to break the chair.
10:04All right, calm down, John Cena.
10:06I just need to get my arm in a little bit more.
10:07All right.
10:13I think everyone's doing what they can to try and help find it.
10:17And no, don't tell Grant, she'll just mind her.
10:20Yeah, just let her enjoy your holiday.
10:22She's having a break, isn't she?
10:24Oh, no, you call me any time you want, you know it.
10:27I know I love you very much as well.
10:29All right.
10:31Come on, I love you.
10:32Okay.
10:33All right.
10:34Speak to you soon.
10:34Bye.
10:35Bye.
10:36No wonder we keep getting cold calls.
10:38That's me, Mum.
10:39She's just worried about Shona's wedding ring.
10:42That's all she's got to worry about.
10:44She's not doing too bad.
10:46Oh, what's up with you?
10:46Oh, just another day in paradise.
10:50Go on.
10:52I've been working on an assault case, but it could turn out a lot worse.
10:58The guy's had an heart attack.
11:00Doctors reckon he's hanging on by a thread.
11:02Oh, that's awful.
11:05Well, it is for Roy.
11:06It's his mate.
11:07Are you joking?
11:08What mate is it?
11:09It's not Brian, is it?
11:10No.
11:11No, the electrician who rewired his flat.
11:14Got attacked on the street not far from here.
11:16Oh, wow.
11:17When things like that happen, it makes you realise how close to home things can be.
11:21What goes through some people's heads?
11:24Who knows, eh?
11:25Oh, well, let's hope you find him.
11:26We don't want scumbags like that wandering the streets, do we?
11:30Do you want a brew?
11:31Er, yeah.
11:37Yeah, he's italicised the word again.
11:40You know, it shouldn't be try today and you will come again.
11:44What?
11:45Barmy Barry's butty wagon.
11:46You know, it should be try today and you will come again, not try today and you will come again.
11:51You know, it doesn't make sense.
11:52It's like a verbal eye roll, isn't it?
11:55You know what, mate?
11:56I was just explaining to Bernie about Barmy Barry's butty wagon on.
11:58Yeah, can you have a minute, please, Steve?
12:01Yeah.
12:07Right, don't make this any harder than it already is.
12:12I need to get away from it.
12:13You're from me?
12:14No, for your sake.
12:16I'm just gonna keep bringing more and more trouble to your door.
12:18Coward door.
12:20Even when we got married, I signed up for the good and the bad.
12:22You might be ready to walk away from this, okay?
12:24I'm not.
12:25That's not the impression I got this morning.
12:27I was just asking for time to think.
12:31But I thought of you not being in my life, of not being with you.
12:33Then no.
12:35I know what I want.
12:36I'm looking at it.
12:39What, do you mean me or that cream on?
12:41Because neither of us will do you any kind.
12:42Oh, please don't do that.
12:43Look, I'll let you down and I'll keep on letting you down.
12:46You did what you needed to do.
12:48You needed space to grieve.
12:49You didn't need me smothering you in, like, platitudes.
12:52Yeah, but they weren't platitudes.
12:55You know what loss is like.
12:57I do.
12:58I do and I know grief isn't one size fits all.
13:02You know, sometimes people have to do what they need to do just to survive.
13:05They're all platitudes.
13:07All cliches.
13:08You know, sometimes they're true.
13:10But even so, I should have trusted you and I should have been honest.
13:18I'm so sorry.
13:20No more sorries and no more secrets, please.
13:25Because if you love me half as much as you say you do, we don't need them, do we?
13:30Am I going to have to come around there to hold you?
13:43You know, it was the electrician that rewired Royce Watt.
13:46They think it's a mugging gone wrong.
13:49Yeah, well, crime's everywhere these days.
13:51And you know what?
13:51I wouldn't be surprised if my ring got swiped.
13:53I thought you were looking for it in there, the way you've been poking around it.
13:56I'm just not with it.
13:58I know you're going through it, but you've still got to eat.
14:01Hiya.
14:02What?
14:04We didn't find it.
14:05Jodie did.
14:06Oh, I thought it was in the last of that.
14:08I think it needs to go back where it belongs.
14:10Oh, where the hell was it?
14:11It's down at the back of the chair, you know, in the living room.
14:13Yeah, she turned the house upside down.
14:14Well, I had the time.
14:16It's all right, no biggie.
14:17Oh, thank you!
14:19Right, I best get back to the sun.
14:20I'll see you both.
14:21Yep.
14:22Oh, I'm so happy.
14:25Oh, I've got my engagement ring back on.
14:28It's all right.
14:28Do we need anything from the cellar?
14:30No.
14:31Right, all the mix is up.
14:32We're all right.
14:33Are we?
14:34I'm the one with the right to be upset.
14:36Right, look, I've apologised for standing you up.
14:37What more do you want from me, Ollie? Blood.
14:39Hey, how was your trip to the shop?
14:41Had to have the window down the hallway.
14:43Can't blame that on my homemade baked beans.
14:45No.
14:45I have to say, they were the best I've ever tasted.
14:47Correct answer.
14:48Which wins you a drink?
14:49Oh, lovely.
14:50A glass of ink, please.
14:51Coming up.
14:56You two seem dead closer.
14:59You think?
15:00Oh, yeah.
15:00Pretty obvious.
15:02So you're gonna go for it, then?
15:03I don't know.
15:05Don't wanna break girls' code.
15:07Yeah, all right.
15:08Don't be daft.
15:09Me and him are done anyway.
15:11Fill your boots.
15:15Thanks.
15:17Jodie certainly knows how to win friends and influence people.
15:21Hmm.
15:21Doesn't she just?
15:24You're not a fan?
15:26Well, let's just say Jory's out.
15:29Well, Shona doesn't seem to have any reservations.
15:32Or David.
15:33Yeah, but Shona was certain she lost that ring in the salon.
15:38Yeah, but she said a lot on her plate, hadn't she?
15:41She was absolutely convinced, though.
15:43What are you trying to say?
15:46I'm not sure yet.
15:49Hmm.
15:50I think you're getting a bit paranoid in your old age.
15:56Fabians are hemorrhaging clients.
15:57Something must have happened over there.
15:59I don't know.
16:01I thought you could ask her arm, maybe.
16:03If we know what's going on, we might be able to bag some of their business.
16:06Shut up.
16:07I'm not sure.
16:09They've still got a lot of clout.
16:10We don't want to antagonise them unnecessarily.
16:11Why?
16:12They're not going to bully us.
16:15Hello.
16:16Sorry to disturb you.
16:18Have you got a sec?
16:20I need to talk to you about George's case.
16:23I clocked off ten minutes ago.
16:25Oh, right.
16:25Well, you won't be on the meter then, will you?
16:27I am representing the opposition, remember?
16:29Yes, I know, but you're also George's friend and you're his neighbour.
16:35I can only tell you what I've told his solicitor.
16:38Right.
16:38I've sent a caveat to the probate register to stop any grant pending further investigation.
16:43Right, so you've drawn a spanner in the works, in other words?
16:47I've taken the appropriate steps on behalf of my client.
16:51George needs to wash his hands of that money before things turn ugly.
16:54You don't want this escalating?
16:56Yes, but why should George ignore the dying wish of your client's mother?
17:02Because it'll keep him out of the courts and the newspapers.
17:06And not just him, by the way.
17:08What's that supposed to mean?
17:09Annie's convinced you're a co-conspirator.
17:12Me? What?
17:14You have got form as a con artist.
17:16If Annie gets away, you and George will both be in a dock.
17:22Come in.
17:23Come and sit yourself down here.
17:30Can I get you a glass of water, love?
17:32You're looking a bit peaky.
17:33Oh, please.
17:34Yeah?
17:36Here we go.
17:38Do you know, I am so glad that you came back in.
17:42Because I was worried that we'd upset you.
17:46I was upset.
17:48What that woman said proper unsettled me.
17:51I've been all churned up.
17:53And that's not good at my age.
17:54No.
17:55No, I know.
17:57But Christina, she meant well.
18:00She's just got this bad habit of putting her foot in her mouth.
18:03She must chew up more footwear than her Labrador puppy.
18:06I didn't trust her.
18:08She's got one of those faces.
18:10Or two, I should say.
18:12No.
18:13No, she's not like that, really.
18:15She's just worried about me.
18:17I mean, these lawyers, Joan, they can put a spin on anything, can't they?
18:21I mean, the most innocuous, well-intentioned gesture,
18:24they can make it look sinister.
18:26I suppose.
18:30Anyway, though I didn't take to her, I do trust you.
18:35That's why I'm happy for you to do my sister's funeral.
18:40You are?
18:41Of course.
18:42Don't need all her flannel.
18:45You're as honest as the day is long, cut from the same cloth as your father.
18:54No, thank you, Joan, because that means a lot.
18:57Yeah.
18:59You know, the name that's engraved on these windows,
19:03that stands for something round here.
19:06Integrity.
19:08Compassion.
19:10Personal service.
19:12You say there's not much traffic on the extra mile.
19:16But you'll find our hearse there.
19:19And that is all I am guilty of.
19:22Going above and beyond.
19:25I would never dream of soliciting a bequest from anyone.
19:30In all our dealings,
19:32have you ever once heard me mention wills or inheritance, Joan?
19:38Joan?
19:43No.
19:46No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
19:52Emergency services. Which service do you require?
19:55Ambulance, please.
19:56Please. It's an emergency.
20:05You celebrating or has it been that kind of a day?
20:08Oh, definitely the latter.
20:09Oh, any drug without salt?
20:11Well, the victim's not going to be talking any time soon, if at all.
20:15He's in ICU.
20:16Yeah, Brownie told me.
20:19What's he got to do with him?
20:21You know how desperate he is to make his mark.
20:23As soon as he got a whiff of this, he was off like a shot.
20:26Why? I'm fully capable of handling this myself.
20:28What's he doing?
20:30Well, I don't know, but whatever it is,
20:32he reckons he's made some kind of breakthrough, so...
20:34Breakthrough?
20:35Yeah, he didn't specify, but he seemed pretty excited about it.
20:38Listen, I've got to go. I'll see you later. Excuse me.
20:46Sorry, love, we're just shutting.
20:49I'm not here for a buddy.
20:51Detective Constable Browning, Weatherfield CID.
20:53Okay, so, erm...
20:55How can we help?
20:56I was looking for a Mrs Winter-Alihan.
20:58I believe she works here.
20:59Yeah, she's just clocked up.
21:00I mean, what's the problem here?
21:01What's going on? Is it Kit?
21:03Er, Kit Green. That's her son. He's a policeman.
21:05So you are not Mrs Winter-Alihan?
21:07Yeah, yeah, I am, but can you please tell me what's going on?
21:11Bernadine Winter-Alihan,
21:13I'm arresting you on suspicion of assault.
21:15You do not have to say anything, but it may...
21:17Oh, what's happening here?
21:19Do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence...
21:22Defence? I haven't done anything.
21:23Kit, could you just explain what...
21:25Your defence, if you do not mention, when questioned,
21:28something which you later rely on in court.
21:30Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
21:32Right, can you call Kit, tell him what's happening?
21:34Okay, guys, listen, this is just mad.
21:36Can you please tell me who I'm meant to have assaulted?
21:39We can discuss that at the station.
21:41If you'd like to come with me, please.
