00:12Oh, my God.
00:35Oh, my God.
00:36Come on!
00:38You scared me.
00:39Oh, gosh, good to see you too.
00:41I wasn't expecting you back.
00:44How's your mum?
00:45And dad?
00:46Yeah, well, let's just say I won't be getting my hands on her Capo de Monte show-ups anytime soon.
00:51That's a relief, Charlie.
00:52Oh, yeah, isn't it? They're horrible.
00:53Do you know, as a kid, they used to stare at me from the mantelpiece and follow me around the
00:57room,
00:57even the one with the crosshairs.
01:00Do I get a hug?
01:02Well, I'm just a bit, um...
01:04Come on, I don't care.
01:06Oh, oh.
01:09Oh.
01:10Hey, Bernie.
01:11Yeah, I'll buzz you in.
01:14You expecting her?
01:17No.
01:17Don't think so.
01:19I'll just put the kettle on.
01:20Yeah, she'll be settling in, won't she, Asper?
01:25Hiya.
01:26Hiya.
01:29Hey, come here.
01:30Oh, no, don't.
01:31Keep your distance.
01:32I'm a bit sweaty.
01:32Well, that's the least of my worries.
01:34I didn't know you were back.
01:35Yeah, Mum's operation went well, too.
01:37Oh, God, glad to hear it.
01:38Brew?
01:38Yes, please.
01:39Go through.
01:41Right, well, um, I was hoping to catch our summer.
01:45Oh, she went out, first thing.
01:47I'm catching up with the florist later,
01:49and then we're off with the bishop to the funeral home
01:51to, um, make Billy's arrangements.
01:55Right, well, keep an eye on her, eh?
01:57I know that we're all going through it,
01:59but I think she's struggling more than she's letting on.
02:01Why'd you say that?
02:02Well, she had a proper wobble yesterday.
02:04She got hammered in the shop,
02:06and Dev tried to be supportive,
02:08but she ended up lashing out at him,
02:10and I don't think she's coping.
02:12I don't think she's coping at all.
02:15Oh, listen, I've really loved having you in the flat,
02:18and I want you to feel like it's your own.
02:19So do you know what?
02:20If you want to redecorate your room or whatever,
02:22just go for it.
02:24Hey!
02:24You're going to be late.
02:25You need to get a shift on.
02:26Only as late as me.
02:28I was just getting a cake for my lunch.
02:29Oh, Sam, you can't live on cake.
02:31I've got sandwiches, too.
02:33Right, listen, get yourself to speed, doll, after school,
02:36and we'll get some nutrition inside you.
02:38Thanks, but I need to work tonight.
02:40Oh, I thought you were handing in all your coursework today.
02:43Well, yeah, I am doing, but, you know, I still need to revise.
02:46Yeah, and you'll revise better with a square meal inside you.
02:49Isn't that right, miss?
02:50Yeah.
02:51That's what the experts say.
02:54Don't be wasting time on admin.
02:57I need to get everything sorted.
02:59I don't know how long I'm going to be locked up for, do I?
03:03Not that that's a bad thing.
03:06Why would you say that?
03:08It'll give everybody closure.
03:11Summer's suffering.
03:12That's why she's lashing out.
03:14And it's not going to get any better for her, is it?
03:17Bernie was in here before.
03:20Telling Roy they're organising Billy's funeral service.
03:24Well, you need to stay away from that.
03:26You pitching up isn't going to do anyone any good.
03:29I know there's no way I can make it up to Billy's family and friends.
03:36But I wish I could make it easier for him.
03:41Hi.
03:43Hiya.
03:47Mary's just sorting out the flower design.
03:54How are you doing, kid?
03:57I don't know.
03:59Living hour to hour.
04:00That's how it feels.
04:03I've been dreading this.
04:06It's got to be done.
04:12I'll use double chrysanthemums.
04:16Full cluster of roses.
04:19And, er, spray carnations.
04:23I'll do my very best for him.
04:25He was a fine man.
04:29Yeah, you'll, um, you'll do him proud.
04:34Yeah, sorry, it's beautiful.
04:37It's just a bit hard to look at, you know, knowing what it means.
04:42These things have that effect on people.
04:44Yeah.
04:45I deal with these floral tributes daily.
04:50That second thought, like the props, not real, but...
04:56This one's very real.
04:59Thanks, Mary.
05:01You're not sorry.
05:02You're not sorry in the slightest.
05:04No one ever is.
05:04Not really.
05:06Another satisfied customer, eh?
05:08It's a good job I could climb down that phone line.
05:11Are you all right?
05:12What's it to you?
05:13You're my mate.
05:14When it suits you.
05:15Oh, don't be like that.
05:16Look, you'd sooner take the word of a proven scumbag-like car,
05:19someone who nicked his brother's wife,
05:21rather than believe your mate of over 20 years.
05:24That's not what mates do.
05:25No.
05:26No, I tell you what mates do.
05:27They look out for each other.
05:28Just like I'm trying to do for you now.
05:31In fact, like we have done for each other throughout the years,
05:33whatever our beef is.
05:34So just tell me.
05:35What's wrong?
05:37Okay.
05:38You know, the roof's been leaking in the office.
05:40Well, it's only a drip.
05:42No, not anymore.
05:43All the filing cabinets.
05:45Flooded.
05:46Six months' worth of paperwork.
05:47Damaged.
05:48I've fallen insurance.
05:49They're not going to pay out.
05:51So what are you going to do?
05:52Well, I'm going to have to sort it myself, aren't I?
05:53Thanks to your busy mate, Carl.
05:56Then I'll have to.
06:02I had feared that sending a bouquet was a somewhat trite gesture
06:07and might serve only in compounding my offence.
06:12However, I'm pleased to report that their mission was successful
06:17and has succeeded in securing Alice's forgiveness.
06:21I never doubted it, Roy.
06:22I've said it before and I'll say it again.
06:25When a woman has her hands full of peonies,
06:29she can forgive most anything.
06:32Their efficacy on this occasion is beyond dispute, so thank you.
06:37The recovery of favour is the raison d'etre of the florist.
06:41I've seen flower power up close,
06:43and I'm not talking about the summer of love.
06:45Flowers can stir all sorts of emotions,
06:50as I've seen today, sadly.
06:52Today, Todd and Summer came by to approve of the design for Billy's floral tribute,
06:59and they were deeply moved, Summer especially.
07:03Well, she's very fragile.
07:05Yeah, poor girl.
07:06She has suffered so much loss, far more than anyone her age should.
07:12I just wish our Paul could talk to her.
07:14Or maybe he has, in his own way.
07:18How so?
07:19Well, you really think it's a coincidence that his ashes have been found now?
07:23No, we needed him,
07:25and he found a way back to us.
07:36Hey.
07:39I won't ask if you're all right.
07:42I don't know what I am lately.
07:44So much has changed.
07:47Do you mind if I sit down?
07:50No.
07:54After the other day, I wasn't sure if you'd want to talk to me.
07:58I'm past anger now.
08:01Besides, it's not your fault.
08:04Not really.
08:06I think you're in the minority there.
08:11Look.
08:14There's £3,000 here.
08:16No.
08:16I want to give it you to put towards Billy's funeral.
08:18Honestly.
08:19No, please.
08:20Please.
08:20I want to.
08:22I want to do something for you and Summer.
08:24I know.
08:25I feel terrible.
08:27Absolutely terrible.
08:27Thank you, but there is no need.
08:30Okay?
08:31If anyone is to blame for Billy not being alive anymore,
08:35it's...
08:37It's not you.
08:39It's me.
08:43Hiya.
08:44Oh.
08:45You didn't let the grass grow.
08:46Yeah.
08:47I wanted to eat early so I could get on with revision.
08:50Oh, don't give yourself indigestion.
08:52I'll be over in a sec.
08:52We're just over there in the corner.
08:57I'm the only reason that the bus left the wedding when it did.
09:01I was upset and Billy was trying to look after me.
09:05Which means it was his choice.
09:08No one forced him to drive that bus.
09:12No, it's so many words.
09:13Leave him alone.
09:15Get away from him.
09:15Haven't you caused enough upset already without touching him further?
09:18Stop.
09:18It's all right.
09:19No, it's not.
09:20I know I've caused a lot of pain and that's why I wanted to contribute towards the funeral costs.
09:26And what price is forgiveness on the open market these days, eh?
09:29Oh, no, I didn't mean it like that.
09:31No, that money is dripping in blood, Billy's blood.
09:33And I'll tell you what, we'd rather leave him out for the bin men than take a penny off you.
09:37I'm so sorry.
09:38No, please leave your...
09:40Back off now.
09:41Oh, what, lad?
09:42You want to find out?
09:42Oh, that's enough!
09:44I'd better go.
09:45Yeah, all right.
09:46Carl!
09:47And if you two want to brawl in the street, then knock yourselves out.
09:52I've got to go and bury my best mate.
10:10I'm back, Raph.
10:12You should have let me wipe the floor with him.
10:13Have you heard yourself?
10:15I've had enough upset for one day.
10:21What were you doing walking around with that?
10:24I know.
10:26I should have given this to George.
10:29Debbie, it was an accident.
10:30You don't need to clear your conscience.
10:32Clear my conscience?
10:34Is that what you think I'm doing?
10:35Clearing my conscience?
10:37Seven maids took seven mocks, eh?
10:40This isn't about my conscience.
10:43I wanted to do something to help.
10:46I couldn't even do that.
10:48Come here.
10:49No, get off.
10:50Stop it.
10:52I'm going to put this in the safe.
10:55Nice to see the bishop again.
10:57He was kind.
10:59He was right.
11:00They brought them all to a billy.
11:05Strange, wasn't it?
11:07Talking about him knowing that he was on the other side of the wall.
11:10Well, I wonder if he could hear us.
11:13I sort of hope so.
11:16I'm sorry.
11:19What for?
11:24You know the business with Debbie and Carl earlier?
11:27Well, we're all under a lot of strain.
11:30Yeah, I have been all over the place.
11:32I got drunk yesterday.
11:36Completely lashed out at Dev.
11:38And he was just trying to be nice.
11:40I feel dead guilty.
11:41And he did say.
11:44Well, if you're, um...
11:46If you're worried, why don't you speak to him?
11:49Tell him how sorry you are.
11:51Might make you feel better.
11:55That would be the worst idea.
11:58Okay.
11:59Okay, yeah, I'll do it.
12:01Thanks.
12:03See you later.
12:05See ya.
12:09That was a good call.
12:12I hate to see you struggling.
12:14Both of you.
12:16That's why I was on a trigger before.
12:19Forget it.
12:20In a way, it's nice to know someone's on my side.
12:23I am always on your side.
12:26Even when I don't deserve it.
12:28Especially when you don't deserve it.
12:32I love you.
12:34I love you too.
12:37Right.
12:38I said I'd go and help George with some admin.
12:41Before he closes up.
12:43See you later.
12:43Hello again.
12:44Hello.
12:45Take care.
12:52Hello again, Bishop.
12:53Oh, hello.
12:54Good to see you.
12:56Um, I don't suppose you've got a minute, have you?
13:00You say redecorate, but you've no idea what my taste is.
13:03Well, do what you like.
13:04It's your room.
13:05And what goes on behind your bedroom door is no business of mine or anybody else's.
13:09So, leopard print wallpaper and hot pink carpet, yeah?
13:12Yeah, your car.
13:14What do you think, Sam?
13:15Oh, this is the kid who had Milky Way wallpaper and a black hole under his bed.
13:19Everything used to disappear under there.
13:21Oh, you surprised me, Sam.
13:23I heard you're pinned as a everything-in-its-place-place-for-everything kind of guy.
13:28Well, if I need to find something, I can.
13:31You know, it might take me a while sometimes, but I get there.
13:35Yeah, he's right.
13:36He always gets what he wants.
13:37Top of the class, chess champion.
13:39You don't mess with our Sam.
13:40There's no stopping him.
13:41He's a force of nature.
13:43Really?
13:43Oh, yeah.
13:44You ask Daniel.
13:45I will do.
13:45I'm seeing him later.
13:46Do you know what?
13:47I'm going to chase up these starters.
13:48I didn't want preferential treatment, but this is ridiculous.
13:55You don't have to try to intimidate me.
13:58All right, I got your message.
14:01I'm not trying to intimidate anyone.
14:02I'm just waiting for my dinner.
14:03I still think it's wrong what you're doing with Will.
14:07I'm his running coach.
14:09That's not what I meant, and you know it.
14:13Sam, I have no idea what you're talking about.
14:16But if you got my message, then you'll drop it.
14:19Now.
14:22Then, um...
14:25I blame myself for Billy's death.
14:29Why?
14:33I should have got him out.
14:37And when I see, um, Todd and Summer in bits, it breaks my heart.
14:42It's not your fault.
14:48The choices that I made that night left him trapped, Father.
14:53Did those decisions seem right at the time?
15:04Then what you're feeling is classic survivor guilt.
15:09Only one person has the answer to that.
15:12And it's him that you must look to.
15:17Are you...
15:19He's saying I should pray.
15:22Open yourself up to God and to Billy.
15:26I know he'll be watching over you.
15:28Talk to him.
15:30Make your peace by telling him what's going through your heart.
15:39I'm not getting anywhere with, Kev.
15:40No, it's going to take time.
15:42I thought I was making progress with him, but I don't know.
15:46Debbie suggested that he take me back on at the garage,
15:48but it's not settled to me.
15:50He won't let anybody help him, will he?
15:52He was really off with me this morning.
15:54Why? What happened?
15:55Well, he's in a mood, cos, um...
15:56..there's a leak in the office roof and the insurance won't pay out.
15:59Why not?
16:00Look, cos they don't want to.
16:02In my experience, when it comes to song and dance,
16:05insurance companies put me to show.
16:07It's the last thing Kev needed.
16:12What can I get you?
16:14A pint and a bucket of water for me head holes, I reckon.
16:17It's the office.
16:17You need a bucket of water for, by the sounds of it.
16:20What?
16:20What I was just saying about how there's a hole in the roof.
16:24If you need any help...
16:25Keep the change.
16:26If I need help, I'll call someone.
16:28Anyone who's not you.
16:30I'll bring it over.
16:35Marking in the boozer.
16:37Don't know whether to give you an air for effort
16:38or a pretension for slacking.
16:41Oh, Year 10 coursework just dropped.
16:44Buried in the stuff.
16:45Never mind a biro.
16:47I'm going to need a shovel and a Davey lamp.
16:49You should encourage them to be more pithy.
16:52Shorten to the point, that's what I tell my Year 10s.
16:54Oh, yeah.
16:55You know, EE, English.
16:57Very different subject.
16:59Drink.
17:01Orange juice, please.
17:02It's a school night.
17:03Yeah.
17:03Why do you think I'm on the booze?
17:06Uh, pint and orange juice, please, Glendale.
17:08Got you.
17:27Hi, dude.
17:28Hiya.
17:29Is Ian?
17:30Your other half?
17:31No.
17:32Like the punters, he was here in body but not in mind, so I sent him home.
17:35All right.
17:35Thanks ever so much.
17:36Oh, hold up.
17:38Theo, couldn't do me a favour, could you?
17:40Go on.
17:41Well, I wanted to get the lead car valeted, you know, before Billy's funeral.
17:45Make it nice for someone and Todd.
17:47And I used this little place around Tyle Street.
17:50Just wondered if you'd mind the shop for me while I nip it over.
17:52Oh, I mean, what if someone comes in?
17:54No, just make them a brew and tell them I'll be 20 minutes tops.
17:58All right.
17:59Yeah, as long as you are.
18:00Yeah, no, mate, that is wonderful.
18:02I owe you one.
18:0320 minutes, all right?
18:04All right, thanks, George.
18:11I had no right saying what I said to Dev.
18:13I'm so sorry.
18:15Well, if he'd have criticised his hair or his dress sense, he wouldn't have got out of bed this morning.
18:20But what you said, he's a big lad.
18:24And he's concerned about you.
18:26I am too.
18:28No, I don't want you worrying.
18:29You're tough.
18:30Because you're family in my book.
18:33And as for Dev, he knows that grief comes in all shapes and sizes.
18:36You know, he's seen it all close to me in our park.
18:40You're talking a witch.
18:43I've been thinking, you know, what to do with his ashes.
18:48He decided anything?
18:51Well, I can't believe that they happened to turn up just now.
18:54And Dev's right, there's a reason for everything, so there's only one choice.
19:00I think he wants to be with Billy.
19:05Yeah.
19:07I hope that's what it is, more than anything.
19:11Shall we keep them together?
19:12Yes, please.
19:14They might not grow old together, but...
19:17Don't mean they can't spend eternity in each other's arms.
19:23Yeah, that sounds perfect.
19:25Good.
19:27I'm glad you think so.
19:30And I meant what I said.
19:32You're family.
19:35Always have been.
19:37So if it's out you want, you just come knocking.
19:40Okay?
19:43Come here, darling.
19:45Come here.
19:46Come here.
19:56Please believe me when I say I'm sorry, Billy.
20:01If I'd had time to think, if I'd have calmed myself down, I'd have got you out.
20:07You know I would.
20:11It was a moment of madness, leaving you there.
20:18And I don't think I'll ever forgive myself.
20:23I'm so sorry.
20:30But I'm not an evil man.
20:32I'm not.
20:33I'm not a killer.
20:35But I'm just, I don't know, I'm just a bloke who loves his partner too much, maybe.
20:45I don't know.
20:46Maybe to let anything or anyone get in the way, I don't know.
20:49But I'm sorry.
20:53I just...
20:58I just hope you're at peace.
21:03And that you can understand it now.
21:09George?
21:27All right, I'm walking here!
21:37All right, I'm walking here!
21:39All right, let's go.
21:39All right.
