00:00I
00:32Well, I mean, how did you sleep?
00:36Not a wink. You've got to get me out of here.
00:39Taking me off the case. I've had to twist someone's heart to come and see you.
00:43Well, if you think I did it, why don't they charge me?
00:45Because they're going to keep you in here as long as they can to build the best case.
00:50What did you tell them?
00:51No. Like you always say, no comment.
00:54Right.
00:54Well, that's what I'm supposed to say, innit?
00:56Yeah, that's good. Have you got an alibi?
00:58No.
01:00Well, you don't think I did it, do you?
01:02No, of course not. It's just, it'd be a lot easier if we can prove it.
01:07Right, leave it with me.
01:08Kit?
01:09Yeah?
01:10I didn't do it.
01:20Here you go.
01:22Shuttleworth's secret recipe.
01:24What's the secret?
01:25What Dad always said, I'd a teaspoon more sugar than the customer asked for.
01:29I'm not sure a bit of extra sugar's going to make any difference. I feel terrible.
01:32It was just Joan's time.
01:34Was it, though? We got her pretty worked up in her final days.
01:37No, that's not how it works and you know it.
01:39Well, you know, nobody's going to, you know, suspect anything.
01:43Why do you keep saying that?
01:45Is this because of what happened with Honey's mother?
01:47Well, yeah, I suppose there's a tiny chance that people might think this is more than a coincidence.
01:53Right, I've got to go. I've got that bereavement care seminar.
01:56But George, I promise, this will all blow over.
01:59Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
02:01And no one in their right mind is going to think our George is bumping off widows for their inheritance.
02:05Flippin' heck!
02:08Hello.
02:10Hi. Can I help you?
02:12Damien Ripley. You were doing my aunt's funeral. I'm Joan's son.
02:17Oh, of course. Hello. Hi. Come in, you poor thing.
02:21Cup of tea? How'd you take it?
02:25Milk, one sugar, please.
03:05Morning. Morning.
03:08How is she?
03:09Yeah, she's good, thanks.
03:11Sarah's taken over for a few hours so I can get a bit of shut eye.
03:15Stick the kettle on for us, won't you?
03:17Right, yeah.
03:19Oh.
03:21Raw milk.
03:22What, David's not done the shopping or loaded the dishwasher?
03:25He did say he was going to do it this morning before work, but...
03:29I slept in.
03:30You're still here?
03:32No, I'm at the salon. You're talking to an hologram.
03:34I haven't slept for over 24 hours and here you are having a lie-in.
03:38Well, can we compare sleeping schedules another time?
03:42Aren't you going to ask how your daughter is?
03:45Sorry. How is she?
03:47She's good. Thanks for your concern.
03:50OK, I'm sorry, but I need to go. I've got Mrs Pickles in at nine.
03:54Love you.
03:58Any news?
04:00No.
04:01Did you speak to her brother of yours?
04:03Well, there's not what he can do.
04:04You know, he can't investigate his own mum.
04:06No, it's against the rules.
04:07Look, I don't care about rules, OK?
04:09Bernie didn't do this.
04:12What?
04:15Are you sure she hadn't done it?
04:17She's got a temper.
04:18But not like this.
04:19No, it seems a bit extreme.
04:21No, even for Bernie.
04:22That guy was harassing her. What if she just snapped?
04:25Look, they're snapping and they're snapping.
04:26And way over there, they're putting someone in a hospital, OK?
04:28It's not the same league, OK?
04:29No.
04:31Not Bernie.
04:32No.
04:34No, you're right.
04:35She didn't do it.
04:38So, you just look after your family and we will send over a suggested order of service.
04:44Yeah.
04:44But there's no worry.
04:46Thanks.
04:46I'm glad you'll be looking after her.
04:48She had a real soft spot for you.
04:49Oh, he has that effect on everyone.
04:51Hey!
04:53I hope you haven't signed anything, mate.
04:55Maybe we should go back inside.
04:58Taxi for the cop shop.
04:59Two seconds, mate.
05:00What, you going to the police station?
05:02This guy is a con man.
05:03George, but my mum adored him.
05:05Oh, yeah, mine too.
05:06Which is apparently why she left a pile of money to him in her will.
05:09Mrs King, is this true?
05:11It's complicated.
05:12Just ask yourself, have you noticed anything unusual in your dealings with his company?
05:17My mum did say she was worried about a scam.
05:18Yeah, yeah, she was right to be.
05:21Him and that angel adept there are taking us all for mugs.
05:24Mr Ripley, I can assure you there is a perfectly reasonable explanation.
05:28No, I think I'll find another company.
05:29Mr Ripley.
05:30No, I said no.
05:35You're not going to get away with this.
05:45Kept her in overnight.
05:46I know, it's ridiculous, isn't it?
05:48Ernie wouldn't hurt her fly.
05:49Unless it was in someone's soup.
05:51I don't know about that.
05:53Like, back in the day, she knew her way round that cop shop.
05:57But this...
05:57Nah.
05:58No way.
05:59No way she did this.
06:01Have you seen our kit this morning?
06:02No, sorry.
06:03He'd gone before I woke up.
06:04Don't suppose he could tell you out anyway, could he?
06:06Perhaps not.
06:07Yeah, couldn't he pull a few strings?
06:09No.
06:10That'd be more than his job's worth.
06:14Well, fingers crossed about your mum.
06:16Yeah.
06:17I'll let you know.
06:18Okay.
06:19See you later.
06:19See ya.
06:20Here you go.
06:23We should get you down to the police station as well, shouldn't we?
06:26Sorry?
06:27Finding Shona's ring like that.
06:29I mean, kit could do with your detective skills.
06:33It was the last ring.
06:34Probably the mystery of the century.
06:36What's to Shona?
06:41Oh, hey.
06:42I was just speaking to my mum.
06:43She said that Harper's looking good for operation next week.
06:45Yeah, yeah.
06:46She is, yeah.
06:47Well, you don't sound too pleased.
06:49No, I am.
06:50I am.
06:50I really am.
06:51It's just I've not slept and I've got to take over from your mum at the hospital,
06:54so I've got to sell for Blambi, which is caffeine.
06:57Can't David help?
06:58No, he's the only one working, so he needs his sleep, and I hate saying it, but...
07:03You're resenting for it.
07:04Yeah, I do.
07:05Yeah, and that's awful, isn't it?
07:06No, no, it's not.
07:08It just sounds like you two need some quality time.
07:10You've got a magic lamp you can rub.
07:13Jodie?
07:14Yeah?
07:15Do you fancy taking Lily to the cinema tonight?
07:18Er, yeah, I suppose.
07:20Great.
07:21Okay, and then I'll take over from my mum and you and David can have a date.
07:24Oh, you're a doll.
07:25Thank you so much.
07:27Thank you, Rebecca.
07:28Goodbye.
07:29See you.
07:34Are you even listening?
07:37Sorry?
07:39He's defrauded my family and now he's going after another.
07:42Who knows how many times he's done this?
07:45My client believes the circumstances weren't a police investigation.
07:48Well, I have no reasons to pursue it.
07:51Oh, you are kidding me.
07:53You see, I knew you weren't paying attention.
07:55Well, I happen to know Mr Shuttleworth personally and I think it's a bit out of character.
07:58Oh.
07:59And is it your job to protect your drinking buddies or to investigate crime?
08:03Okay, Mrs King.
08:04Let's leave it for today.
08:05I've told the detective all we know.
08:07Fine.
08:09I'll see you outside, okay?
08:19You all right?
08:20How are you?
08:21Um, just a heads up.
08:23Brown is like a dog with a bone with Bernie.
08:25He's seen a record and he wants to make it stick.
08:27What evidence has he got?
08:28Well, that's all I know.
08:29Drawback to being on desk duty.
08:31Sorry to be the bearer.
08:33All right.
08:35Couldn't help but overhear if Bernie needs any legal advice.
08:38Cheers.
08:38Listen, I get it there.
08:40George seems like an unlikely criminal.
08:42But it wasn't too long ago you arrested Christina for fraud.
08:45Is it really so hard to believe that there's something in this?
08:48Just because you think you know somebody doesn't mean you truly know what they're capable of.
08:57Roughly 10pm on the night in question,
09:01we have a witness claiming to have seen an angry confrontation between yourself and the victim.
09:08Shortly afterwards,
09:09he was discovered showing signs of being attacked,
09:12unconscious,
09:13fighting for his life.
09:17Did you assault him?
09:21Mrs. Winter, I'm pretty sure I have enough to charge you.
09:25You're only hurting yourself, not telling your side of the story.
09:28I didn't talk to him.
09:31How do you know Mr. Roper?
09:34He was doing some electrics at the cafe where I work.
09:38So you met at the cafe?
09:44The truth is better coming from you.
09:46We met before that.
09:51We'd spent a night together.
09:52Not like that.
09:54As friends, sort of.
09:57He was just a stranger I could talk to.
10:00But things turned sour.
10:02He thought there was more to it and there wasn't.
10:04You rejected his advances?
10:06Yeah.
10:06He's gone barmy.
10:07He won't leave me alone.
10:09He broke into my house, you know.
10:10He's dangerous.
10:12Right.
10:13You don't think I did it, do you?
10:15I'm not sure you want me to believe you.
10:18Because this all sounds like motive.
10:23Where did you go after the altercation on Coronation Street?
10:27I went for a drink.
10:28In a pub?
10:29Any witnesses to that?
10:31No.
10:32I went to my husband's shop.
10:33I got a bottle off the shelf and the shop was closed.
10:37Do you have anywhere to back up this story?
10:47Right, I made a decision.
10:48Oh, finally.
10:50Yeah.
10:51Hang on.
10:51What decision do you think I've made?
10:53To throw out that old, wethy county top that you sleep in.
10:55That's my lucky top.
10:57It's see-through.
10:58Right, so what's the decision?
11:00I've decided that I'm not going to let me dad get under me skin.
11:04What's brought this on?
11:05I spoke to Andy last night, he says hello, by the way.
11:07And I realised that he's happy because he's not had to think about me dad for years.
11:11So, I need to be more like Andy and just forget I've got a dad.
11:15I'll go get it.
11:18I mean, you know, for once, everything is going my way.
11:21I love my job.
11:23Amy's doing great.
11:25And I've got the perfect girlfriend.
11:30Excuse me.
11:31I've got a guest.
11:32Don't mind me.
11:33I could watch this all day.
11:35Young love.
11:36Well, love.
11:38I'll go grab it.
11:40Amy is lending me her portable phone charger because I'm going to the Brit Awards tomorrow.
11:45And I don't want my camera to die.
11:47Oh, amazing.
11:49I know.
11:49Just imagine Ben Shepard back in Manchester.
11:53Oh, Ben's up for an award, is he?
11:55Well, I don't think so.
11:56But he might be there as a member of the Glitterati.
12:01Right, I'm going to go to work.
12:03See you, my love.
12:05See you, gorgeous.
12:06Mwah!
12:06Go on.
12:11It's going well, then.
12:13Mary, I have to pinch yourself sometimes.
12:15I can see you're luminescent.
12:17It's a pity it's not a leap year.
12:20A leap year.
12:22Here you go, Mary.
12:23Oh, thank you.
12:24Better be heading back.
12:25Yeah, me too.
12:26See you.
12:32Hey.
12:33Hiya.
12:35What's the latest on Bernie?
12:37Doesn't look good.
12:39Browning thinks he's got his woman.
12:40Don't tell me he's charged her.
12:42Not yet.
12:43Not yet?
12:43Why?
12:44Do you think he will?
12:44He might.
12:47Well, did she do it?
12:50Kate, come on.
12:51Did she attack that guy?
12:53No.
12:55I did.
13:11Bernie was terrified.
13:12She didn't know what this guy was capable of.
13:15So you battered him?
13:16I didn't kick him or hit him or anything like that.
13:18I grabbed him, gave him a shove and warned him off.
13:21Then how on earth has he ended up in hospital?
13:23Because he's had a heart attack.
13:24He would have had one anyway.
13:26Nobody could know that.
13:27I don't know why.
13:28Are you only telling me this now?
13:30Because I thought he'd blow over, but Bernie doesn't have an alibi, so...
13:33Sarah, I promise, it was nothing.
13:37Right, okay.
13:38Well, you're going to have to go to the station and tell someone.
13:40I can't.
13:41Well, then it's not nothing, is it?
13:42Well, I don't end up losing my job.
13:44How do you get yourself into these situations?
13:47Right, we just...
13:47We've just got to ride it out.
13:50Bernie could go to prison.
13:52Well, it won't come to that.
13:53Oh, you're good at telling the future now, are you?
13:55Well, it's a shame you didn't have that superpower when you decided to rough up some bloke with a heart
13:59problem.
13:59Right, well, we don't put people away without evidence.
14:02Yes, but you are the only person with evidence that proves that Bernie didn't do it.
14:07So what are you saying, Sarah?
14:08You think I should just go down to the station and tell them what I did?
14:10Oh, no, no, Kit.
14:11I think you should sit here and let your mum go down for something she didn't do.
14:14I'm going to have to go.
14:18What are we going to see?
14:19It's a surprise.
14:21How do I look?
14:21You look amazing.
14:23Yeah.
14:24Why are you at the hospital?
14:26What have I forgot?
14:27It's not our anniversary again, is it?
14:29No, Jodie's taking Lily to the cinema.
14:33Yeah, yeah, I am.
14:35Come on, we should get on.
14:36Bye.
14:37Bye.
14:38Bye.
14:39What's going on?
14:40You are pulled.
14:49You seen Browning?
14:52Oh, you're off the case.
14:53Sorry?
14:54I'm guessing that you want to talk to him about Bernie.
14:57That's nothing.
14:58It doesn't look like nothing, and you don't look too good either.
15:00I'm fine.
15:01I think you've got somewhere to be.
15:03The professional standards meeting, yeah, I'm on my way now, but are you sure there's nothing
15:06you want to bounce off me instead?
15:07Look, I appreciate the heads up, but this is between me and him, okay?
15:13Browning.
15:14What's up?
15:16Er, can we go somewhere private?
15:19Is this about your mum?
15:20Kind of.
15:22What is it?
15:24Kit.
15:27What have I missed?
15:29She got an alibi.
15:30She was on the corner shop CCTV.
15:32What, is she being released?
15:33Yeah.
15:34You see her on?
15:35Yeah, of course.
15:37You okay?
15:37Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
15:38I just want to get out of here, son.
15:40Come on.
15:41Green?
15:42Yeah.
15:44What was it you wanted to talk about?
15:46Could do with a lead.
15:47Ah, it doesn't matter now.
15:49Just wanted to see if you'd check them corner shop cameras.
15:51Right.
15:53Back to the drawing board, then.
15:57Two sisters in a week?
15:59One more, that's a nunnery.
16:00It's not that kind of sister.
16:02Anyway, it's a coincidence, surely.
16:06Well, let's hope so.
16:07Otherwise, our Georgie Borgia didn't just make the girls cry.
16:10You shouldn't have come in here.
16:12Everyone's looking at me like I'm a nobbling pensionist.
16:15No-one who knows you will think that.
16:17And if you're afraid to show your face, it's going to make you look more guilty.
16:20So come on.
16:21Yeah, maybe.
16:22Seeing you two together sets the heart aflutter.
16:26Your bodies yielding to one another, soft yet firm.
16:31Elemental.
16:32You ice, she fire, and together you become...
16:36A puddle.
16:38Stephen, you may deny the primal energy that oozes between you and Cassie, but I can see it.
16:44What are you talking about?
16:45Oozing.
16:47I have to go.
16:48Oh, where?
16:49When you like to know.
16:53What's that about?
16:54Yeah, it is.
16:57Oh, Tim.
16:58George, you took Annie and Adam to the police station earlier.
17:02Oh, yeah, yeah.
17:03Picked them up after two.
17:04And how are they the same?
17:05They seemed all right, yeah.
17:06They spoke to Bernie's lad, Kit, and apparently everything's going in the right direction.
17:11Sorry.
17:12Hi.
17:13Thanks, Tim.
17:15Do you know what this is getting out of hand?
17:16They've got a detective on the case now.
17:18No, no, no.
17:18This is a good thing.
17:19Any copper worth his salt's going to realise.
17:22There's no case to answer.
17:24Yeah, well, I hope you're right.
17:25Because without that undertaker, I am nothing.
17:28Oh, yeah.
17:32Come here.
17:35Hey.
17:35Are you OK?
17:37Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
17:38If I could murder a decent brew and a bath.
17:41I'm on brews.
17:42Ash, lavender?
17:44Yes, please, love.
17:47But I am so sorry that I brought that bloke into our lives.
17:50Listen, you're all right.
17:51We're OK now.
17:52No thanks to you lot.
17:54Yeah, but he wasn't even on the case.
17:56Look, I'm going to get off.
17:58Look, Dev, can you be a sweetheart and ask Astra to change the lavender to rose, please?
18:03Yeah.
18:08So, what did you want to talk to that detective about earlier?
18:11Well, you heard me the CCTV.
18:13Well, that's funny, because I never told you I was at the shop.
18:17Well, someone must have mentioned it at the station.
18:20Look, Bernie, I'm glad you're out OK, but I've got tons to do.
18:23I'll see you.
18:31That was amazing.
18:34Wait until you see what we've got for dessert.
18:37Ooh, what is it?
18:39Guess.
18:40You.
18:41Mm, cheesy.
18:42No.
18:44We've got brownie.
18:46Ooh, even better.
18:48Hey, watch it.
18:52I'm sorry we've been, like, ships at night recently, haven't we?
18:55Well, it's no one's fault, is it?
18:57No, I know, but...
18:59I do love it, you know, and it's just us.
19:01It's nice.
19:02Yeah, we'll get it back.
19:04Mm.
19:05That reminds me, actually.
19:06I forgot to make a bed this morning.
19:07I know how much you ate, though.
19:10Well, why don't we go upstairs and unmake it right now?
19:13Yeah.
19:18Oh, what a disaster.
19:21What's happened?
19:22The film I booked.
19:23It was only an 18.
19:25I still would have gone and seen it.
19:26I don't want you to get nightmares.
19:28Won the OL some.
19:29No, not for another hour.
19:31My mum's got football training first thing.
19:33I don't want to keep her out late.
19:35Oh, are those brownies?
19:37Yeah, help me self.
19:38Ah, nice.
19:42This is better than a movie anyway, isn't it?
19:47How exciting.
19:48What time?
19:49Two o'clock.
19:50Oh, mum, the second scream!
19:52Forgot to check my shifts for next week.
19:55What do you talk to?
19:57Mary's booking a cab.
19:58Hey, where are you going?
19:59The dentist.
20:00Well, you seem very happy about it.
20:02Oh, we need to tell him.
20:04I suppose we do now.
20:06What?
20:07Go on.
20:09So...
20:10So, Cassie's going to propose to Steve.
20:12We're getting married.
20:14Really?
20:15Wow.
20:15I made up for you.
20:16Oh, honest.
20:18Yeah, I think it's brilliant.
20:19He's also married to Tracy, is he?
20:20The divorce went through ages ago.
20:22Oh, good.
20:22Well, let's hope he says yes, then, eh?
20:27He will say yes, won't he?
20:29Of course he will.
20:31Yes!
20:32Yes!
20:40There you go.
20:44Since when do you make me a brew?
20:46Well, I need someone to celebrate with, and we can't have champagne on the job, can we?
20:51So...
20:51What's the occasion?
20:53I'm back on full duties.
20:55No case to answer for.
20:57I mean, it was obvious, Becky.
21:00But they had to go by the book, didn't they?
21:02Can't be too careful when it comes to bent coppers, can you?
21:06Anyway, cheers.
21:07Cheers.
21:08Oh.
21:09Oh, and to Bernie, too.
21:12I mean, I knew she wasn't capable of doing that.
21:15Which reminds me, now she's off the hook, you're back on the case.
21:17Really?
21:18Yeah.
21:19Why is there a problem?
21:21I've just got a lot on my desk right now.
21:24I'm sure you can handle one more.
21:26Aren't you the least bit curious to find out who's attacked the guy who's been harassing your mum?
21:31I suppose.
21:32Good.
21:34Because I need to get back to doing what I did best.
21:36Catching the bad guys.
21:40Right.
21:41Right.
22:06Right.
22:09Right.
22:10Right.
22:11Right.
22:12Right.
22:13Right.
22:14Right.
22:15Right.
22:15Right.
22:15Right.
22:15Right.
22:16Right.
22:17You
