00:29I'll see you next time
00:32Could someone get back to me as soon as possible?
00:35I have used one of your nannies before, and I am looking quite urgently.
00:50Is it, um, wear your pyjamas to work day?
00:53I'm going in later.
00:55You okay?
00:56I'm fine. God, every two minutes.
00:58I'm just a bit concerned. You've been quiet all weekend.
01:01I thought now maybe the wake is over.
01:03I'm fine.
01:04Okay.
01:05It's not really as well that you're staying in this morning.
01:07Well, I'm not staying in just to avoid it, ugly gob.
01:10Yeah, but you don't want to get pulled into another argument.
01:12Well, I can't argue for my speaking to her, can I?
01:16You walking around?
01:18No, no, I've got home visits all day.
01:20I'm off to manipulate old Mrs. Aldridge's ankles.
01:22Oh, nice. Look, I'll be back at lunch.
01:25Okay. See ya.
01:28Um, do you know where I am?
01:29No, I don't. I've never even heard of Mrs. Aldridge.
01:35See ya.
01:38Why am I so horrible to him?
01:40He only has to open his mouth and I'd bite his head off.
01:42Oh, come on. You ain't that gnarly.
01:45Yeah, well, maybe I'll feel better once I've suited my life.
01:49Hi, um, I'd like to make an appointment with the doctor, please.
01:52Doctor?
01:53No, it has to be as soon as possible.
01:56Because I need to take the morning after pill.
02:02Jimmy, get out the bathroom, I need to clean my teeth.
02:07Aye!
02:15Hey, there's a treat on the showy.
02:17It's a theme afternoon, all horror.
02:19Better get to be, isn't it?
02:20I've got an afternoon of horror.
02:22Triple science.
02:24You should pay me extra for that, Dad.
02:26Don't worry, I'll be okay, aren't you?
02:27Yeah.
02:28Hey, triple science.
02:29Is that all dissecting frogs and blowing things up on Bunsen burners?
02:32No.
02:33She said we might make a nippy today.
02:35See ya.
02:36See ya, babe.
02:37Ta-da!
02:39Is this you, wringing this out?
02:42What do you have the new ladders for?
02:44Aye.
02:45Oi.
02:47Toothpaste.
02:52Well, I don't know where me our ladders have got to.
02:54Well, why are you left the ladders?
02:56Not just ladders.
02:57Buckets.
02:58Shammy.
02:58Aye, aye.
02:59Wife of leisure finally got here, has it?
03:04Don't be like this.
03:05Like what?
03:08Like this.
03:08I know you're upset.
03:10I am, am I?
03:11If you just gave me the chance to explain properly about what happened the other night, it was all just
03:17a misunderstanding, that's all.
03:20Yes, you've said.
03:21Lindsay, she was very...
03:23Upset, yes.
03:24You've already told me.
03:25If you'd have been there, you'd have done the same.
03:27Max, I think you're missing the point.
03:30See, I don't care how Lindsay was feeling.
03:33Or how you were feeling for that matter.
03:34You do care.
03:35I know it's hard for you to understand, but I don't.
03:38I really don't.
03:40I thought the problem was that I wanted more from you, but I couldn't trust you.
03:45But now I realise the problem is that I want less from you, and you're still living under my roof.
03:50You don't mean that.
03:51I do.
03:52But now I know you'll be moving out.
03:54I'm fine.
03:55There's absolutely no need for me to move out.
04:03Lindsay, hi.
04:04This really isn't a good time.
04:06Oh, is that Lindsay?
04:07Come in.
04:11I can't stop, and I just wanted to apologise for the other night and explain what was...
04:16It was OK.
04:16Max has explained.
04:17Oh, right.
04:18And are you happy about it now?
04:20Happy.
04:22More indifferent, really.
04:23I could see what you must have thought.
04:25No, I still think that.
04:27It was just wrong to get so upset about it.
04:29We were all free agents.
04:31But that's the point.
04:32There wasn't anything to be...
04:33I'm quite busy this morning, so if you two want to take the children out for a walk, then it's
04:36OK with...
04:37Of course we don't.
04:40Look, I'll get off.
04:42Bye.
04:49I feel like an irresponsible teenager.
04:51Did you enjoy yourself?
04:53Enjoying myself?
04:54Getting off with some stranger at my husband's wake?
04:58That's sick.
04:59Oh, give yourself a break.
05:00You've had a nightmare these last few months.
05:02Oh, poor me.
05:03Oh, you deserve a bit of attention.
05:06I'm going to feel a right idiot at my age sitting in front of a doctor asking for the morning
05:10after pill.
05:11I'm sure you won't be the first.
05:13And anyway, who was he?
05:16His name's Dave.
05:18Black leather jacket.
05:19You must have seen him.
05:20I was too busy making a show myself with my ex-bezzy mates.
05:24Was it really that bad?
05:27I never thought me and Casey would fall out like this.
05:31We've been through all kinds together, but the stuff she came out with...
05:34Why?
05:34What did she say?
05:36You know, throwing the surrogacy thing back up in me face.
05:39I can't believe she did that.
05:40She knows what I went through.
05:42I wish I'd never organised that stupid wake.
05:45So, will you tell Dad about it?
05:47I'm going to go to the doctor, take my pill, and then, as far as I'm concerned, that night never
05:51happened.
05:52God, I think I want one of those pills and I come with you.
05:58Right, come on.
05:59Popcorn and beer don't appear from nowhere, you know.
06:01That's the second one I've rung that's already been sold.
06:04Why don't you try something new instead of going backwards?
06:06You've not been up a ladder for years.
06:07Look, if it's not broke, why fix it?
06:09I can do window cleaning standing on me head.
06:12I stood on your head up a ladder.
06:13Not the health and safety issues here, mate.
06:17Yeah, that shows you're doing a bad thing.
06:23It's not going to be a last, though.
06:25Mike!
06:26Is that Jackie in?
06:28Yes.
06:29Right.
06:30Probably not the time to ask him if he's seen me ladders.
06:35I don't think you're going to get away with this.
06:38What?
06:42Come on.
06:46Oh, right.
06:50Change the date of your wedding?
06:52Yeah, he phoned the registry.
06:53Oh, for God's sake, that's well out of order.
06:55You've been speaking, haven't you?
06:56I haven't even seen me dad.
06:58Well, then it must have been your Nathan.
06:59Me dad said it's impossible for you to change the date of your wedding.
07:02How would he know that?
07:03Nathan won't have said anything.
07:04I think she did it if she found out.
07:06Look, Jackie, our wedding is just as important as yours, no matter what your posh boyfriend
07:10says.
07:10Will you stop blaming Nathan?
07:12Are you saying that me dad's not capable of interfering off his own bat?
07:17He's making a right show of me over this wedding.
07:19I'll speak to Nathan at lunchtime and I'll get him to talk to his parents.
07:23Well, come round later and let me know, eh?
07:25Joking, aren't you?
07:25I'm not coming near yours.
07:27Katie's not there.
07:27She's gone off to Sammy's to lick her wounds.
07:29Jackie, I'm not letting me dad get away with this, so you better sort it.
07:32Well, I can't promise anything.
07:34Yeah, well, I can.
07:35I can promise I'm getting married on that date, no matter what happens.
07:47All right, Maxie?
07:49Josie!
07:50Well, well, look at you.
07:51You look fantastic.
07:52Don't sound surprised.
07:54You're here to see Leo and Gemma?
07:55And Mick.
07:56One or two things to sort out.
07:58Well, I've knocked.
07:59There's no one in.
07:59Oh, well, you can't wait out here.
08:01You'll freeze to death.
08:02Why don't you come to us?
08:03I'll make you a cup of coffee.
08:04Same on Maxie.
08:05Nothing's too much trouble.
08:06Oh, of course not.
08:07It's good to see you.
08:08Anyway, you can help me throw out the children.
08:11Children, this is Josie.
08:12Say hello.
08:13Hiya.
08:14I'm sure Mick wouldn't have gone far.
08:16Is he expecting you?
08:17No.
08:18Oh.
08:26Ta-da.
08:28Champagne.
08:29I've only made busses.
08:30We're celebrating.
08:31Celebrating what?
08:32You have to guess.
08:33Give us a clue.
08:34Okay, then.
08:34Four words.
08:35The first one's job.
08:36The other three are Nathan's got a.
08:38You've got a job?
08:39Yeah.
08:40I found the London office yesterday.
08:41I thought, well, as you decided we're definitely moving down to London,
08:44I ought to register my interest.
08:45They called back this morning and they've got room for me.
08:48Honest, straight off.
08:49Yeah, perfect timing.
08:51We get married.
08:51One week's honeymoon.
08:53Back Sunday.
08:53Monday morning, Mrs. Cuddington waves her husband off to his new post.
08:57Oh, Nathan, that's great.
08:58I made up for you.
09:00Oh, that'll be Vic.
09:01Get it open then.
09:03Hey, Vic.
09:04What's the doc?
09:08I am the doctor.
09:09Yeah, right.
09:10I thought you were Vic.
09:11Is there something I should know?
09:13Darren!
09:14I'll get you a glass.
09:16Uh, no, thanks.
09:17Not between visits.
09:17Oh, go on.
09:18You're only a doctor.
09:19It's hardly a matter of life and death.
09:20Um, look, you can pour, but I won't drink anything.
09:24Um, what's this about?
09:26Hasn't he told you?
09:26He's got a new job in London.
09:28Come on, we're celebrating.
09:34Do you and Patricia decide to have more kids?
09:36Patricia?
09:38Oh, you are going back a long way.
09:42Oh, you met my first wife, uh, Susanna?
09:47No, must be before my time.
09:49Oh.
09:49Oops.
09:50Well, um, she owns this house.
09:53You're with your first wife?
09:56Yes.
09:58Well, I'm all for recycling.
10:00Max.
10:02Susanna, I don't think you've ever met, um...
10:04Hello.
10:05Hi.
10:05I'm going to see some cars later.
10:07Can you look after the children?
10:08Uh, yes, I have nothing planned.
10:10Good.
10:12Nice to meet you.
10:15She's chatty.
10:16Well, she's been under a lot of stress.
10:19I know a man in the doghouse when I see one.
10:22What did you do?
10:24How far back do you want to go?
10:26Oh, there he is.
10:28Oh, do you have to rush off?
10:29Oh, after all the trouble you've gone to.
10:32I'll go and get the biscuits.
10:45Vic.
10:46Hi.
10:47I thought you were going to work.
10:48Yeah, I did.
10:49Are you okay?
10:50Yes.
10:51Where have you been?
10:53Did I just imagine the beginning of this conversation?
10:55I went to work.
10:56I didn't feel well.
10:56I came home.
10:57I meant this morning.
10:59I'm going to bed.
11:00What's up?
11:00If you're ill, maybe I can do something.
11:02You can't.
11:03Until you tell me what it is.
11:05No, you can't do something.
11:07Now, the doctor's already done it.
11:10Done what?
11:10Vic, why won't you tell me what's wrong?
11:12Okay.
11:13Okay, I went to the doctor.
11:14She prescribed the morning-after pill.
11:16I took it.
11:18I'm going to bed.
11:24How many sweet stuff left?
11:26I've eaten it.
11:27Anyway, Chinese will be in a minute.
11:30I was at the end.
11:32I did a sign in behind the sofa, did I?
11:35What's next?
11:37Eh.
11:43Blood-dripping carnage.
11:46Murder, mayhem.
11:49Mystery, imagination.
11:51Slasher.
11:52And shocking.
11:55I'll get the plates.
11:57Better get this eaten before the slasher in.
11:59Don't put it off my spare ribs.
12:04So this shocker, does it sound any good?
12:06Sin?
12:07This shocker, does it sound?
12:12Hiya, Mick.
12:13Do you see?
12:31You're not fooling anyone, you know.
12:33I'm not trying to fool anyone.
12:34Come on, Susanna.
12:35It's obvious.
12:36You're punishing Max for something that never happened.
12:39I really don't care whether it did or it didn't.
12:41He doesn't deserve this.
12:42Ooh, you suddenly in authority on what Max deserves.
12:45When he came back to the close,
12:47I honestly thought you'd be an idiot to let him through that front door.
12:50But now I know for a fact you'd be an idiot if you threw him out.
12:53He loves you.
12:54He's not interested in anyone else.
12:56Unless he happens to be passing through a lady's toy.
12:58Oh, he only followed me because I was upset.
13:00Oh, yes?
13:01And when have you gone in for public displays of emotions?
13:03My life came crashing down round by my ears.
13:05And whose fault's that?
13:07Mine.
13:07I've made mistakes, but I'm well and truly paying for them now.
13:10But if you're expecting sympathy from...
13:11Susanna, that house is everything I own.
13:14And when that gets sold, the money goes straight into Rose Finnegan's pocket.
13:18I'm in and peanuts doing a dead-end job.
13:20I'm living back at my mum and dad's, so I don't want your sympathy.
13:23I didn't even want Max's.
13:24I just happened to be there.
13:26But if you don't believe that's possible,
13:28then you're more hard-faced than I thought.
13:30You're the one making the mistake here.
13:33Susanna, we were mates once.
13:35Take a look at what I've got left and just be grateful you've got Max.
13:47Let the place go, are you, Mick?
13:52Right, I'll, um...
13:53I'll go round and see if Mike's seen me old leathers, you know, around at my place.
13:57All right, mate.
14:00We're decorating.
14:01Very topical.
14:04I wasn't expecting you.
14:06Why didn't you ring?
14:08I wondered how you're getting on.
14:10I'm a bit out of touch.
14:12We're fine.
14:14Fine?
14:15How's Leo's job?
14:16Oh, you're not that out of touch, then?
14:18I'm glad he's working.
14:20Better than hanging around all day, getting into all kinds.
14:22He's a sensible lad.
14:24What about our Jenna?
14:25How's school?
14:26Sound.
14:27He's moved to Brookie Camp.
14:28He's more suitable for her.
14:30I suppose she's at that difficult age.
14:32You must have your hands full with her.
14:33No, we get on great.
14:35Great?
14:35Yeah, great.
14:37Now, after I've finished my interview.
14:39So how do you explain her taking ecstasy?
14:47I stuck my head through the hatch.
14:48I couldn't see anything.
14:50Well, that phone's not in the garage.
14:51I had a good look in there.
14:52Oh, it doesn't matter.
14:53I'll have to buy a second-hand paper out of the paper.
14:54I was going to offer to babysit this, Harry.
14:56Ah, well, Rachel's got off with me dad.
14:58He wants to show Beth off to one of his mates.
15:00Saves me murdering them, I suppose.
15:01Murdering them?
15:02Yeah.
15:03Well, he rang up and changed my wedding date, didn't he?
15:05Go away.
15:05We're not even asking.
15:06I thought what you were giving your Jackie down the banks for.
15:08She's right.
15:09He's not getting away with it, though.
15:10I've changed her back to what it was.
15:12I should think so.
15:13I'm not having her.
15:13He'd be out on his ear if he carries on like this.
15:15What do you mean, out on his ear?
15:18Well, you know, I won't be speaking to him.
15:20Anyway, our Jackie said she'd be able to change their date.
15:23Is he going to be sound about that, that Lord, what's-his-face?
15:26Well, they're having the wedding in the house, aren't they?
15:27They can do what they want.
15:29You say so.
15:30I do.
15:33Hey.
15:35I've just got a nip into work and then round to our mics.
15:37How do you feel?
15:38Um, like I'm being turned inside out.
15:40Oh, shall I make it a hottie?
15:46I keep thinking about Mark
15:47That pill's messed with your hormones
15:49It's not safe to think
15:51Imagine how he'd feel if he knew what I got up to the other night
15:54I was supposed to be grieving for him
15:56Yeah, but he'd want you to get on with your life
15:58It was his wake
16:00Tannen's back
16:01Great
16:02Earache to go with my headache and my womb ache
16:04I'm asleep
16:09Em
16:10She's just dropped off
16:24You'll be okay, Bec
16:29Can I get you anything?
16:30No
16:33I know how awful you must feel
16:34Must I?
16:36I might have enjoyed myself
16:39I meant physically
16:44Look
16:44I brought you something
16:45Unless it's on prescription
16:47You can take away these cramps
16:48I'm not interested
16:50Whatever you say
16:52If it means that you'll
16:54Stop seeing me as a cold doctor
16:56Or a scorned lover boy
16:58And instead just let me be your friend
17:04What's this?
17:05Private prescription
17:09Chocolate
17:11Medical approving to fight cramps
17:17You were supposed to be horrible to me
17:20Sorry
17:21I hate me
17:23No, I don't
17:23You should
17:24I'll work on it
17:27Thanks
17:35Is she usually this late?
17:37She'll be here
17:39But your car
17:42Must be nice to be able to spend all that money on yourself
17:46You could get a job
17:47I hear you haven't worked for months
17:50Yes, she has now
17:51What else did she say?
17:53What else have you got to hide?
17:54I've got nothing to hide
17:55You're just not on the list of people that I tell
17:57Even when it's life and death?
17:58I was there for Gemma
17:59When she needed me the most
18:00Which is more than you've ever been
18:02She wouldn't have needed you the most
18:03If you've been looking after her properly
18:04She sounded desperate in her letter
18:06She's a teenager
18:07She gets into one
18:08It's the end of the world
18:09And then she's okay
18:10They do that, you know
18:12Oh no
18:13You wouldn't know that
18:14Would you?
18:16We're not talking about a bit of bother
18:18With her homework year
18:19We're talking about Gemma's life
18:23Mum?
18:24Hello, love
18:27Why don't you tell me you'd written a letter
18:28She can write to her own mother
18:31Well, let's talk things through
18:33Talk things through?
18:35It's okay now
18:36Calm sound
18:36I thought everyone would be dead mean to me
18:39But is that cool?
18:40You don't have to say that to protect your dad
18:42I'm not honest
18:43Everything's sound
18:45What about your letter?
18:46I shouldn't have sent that
18:48I tried to ring you
18:49But you weren't in
18:50And then I forgot
18:51You seem to have had a wasted visit
18:53I don't go, Mum
18:54I never see you
18:55Don't worry, I'm here now
18:57I want to spend some time with my kids
19:02Shall I take you out for tea?
19:03No, it's alright
19:04I'll cook for all of us
19:06No hard feelings, eh?
19:08I assume you want to wait till Leo gets back
19:10Remind him what you lot like
19:17So what does he get on with Nathan?
19:18Well, there wasn't any point to ask him in the end
19:20It turns out we couldn't
19:21Well, you didn't ask him?
19:21Well, he's got this job in London, that start
19:23Oh, well, thanks a lot
19:24Hey, don't be like that
19:25I can't expect Nathan to mess people about when
19:27Oh, no, we wouldn't want to upset Lord Snooty, would we?
19:30Hey, don't call him that
19:31Hey, alright, there's no point in falling out over this
19:33She didn't even try
19:34I'm sure if he hadn't got the job, he would have sorted
19:37Yeah, right
19:37Hey, hang on, it's not his fault that he sorted this job
19:40I'll stop you start, Sin
19:41Anyway, I've moved ours back to the date that it was
19:43Why?
19:44See how my dad feels now?
19:46He's going to have to make a choice
19:47Either go to his son's wedding or his daughter's
19:52Jack, shaking with fear, went inside
19:54The milk was very good and Jack had almost finished it
19:57When they heard a noise outside, the ogre had returned
20:01Be, bye, foe, fum
20:03I smell the blood of an Englishman, the ogre shouted
20:08And not one thumbs rang me since I left
20:10Apart from Pippa
20:13We do
20:18Get out, Philia
20:22You never guess who's here
20:26Mum?
20:26Hello, Leo, love
20:29What are you doing here?
20:30Well, that's a nice welcome
20:32You OK, sir?
20:33Yeah
20:33What's going on?
20:35Why are you here?
20:36It's OK, Lee
20:36Your mum's staying for tea
20:38She dropped in to see how we're getting on
20:40Yeah, you never drop in
20:42Well, I have now
20:44He'll soon come round
20:46He won't
20:46I know what our mic's like
20:48It's this new job
20:49It kind of fixes things
20:51Exactly
20:51Well, that's what he doesn't get
20:53What with this, I'm falling out with Katie
20:55I'm only going to be here for a few more months
20:57I could do without all the hassles and the stress
21:02Isn't that cheating?
21:03Yeah, but we're only playing to tune me up
21:06Right, yeah, of course, sorry
21:07Yeah, there won't be any more hassles
21:09We'll get things smoothed over with Mike
21:11No cheating
21:12Look after my hand
21:20I'm ill
21:20Who is it?
21:23The land lazy
21:23It's all right, I'm not coming in
21:25That's right
21:26I'm giving you a month's notice
21:27This place has sold
21:29Do I smell hassles and stress?
21:31Good
21:31It never felt right putting money in your pocket anyway
21:34And I'm not happy having rough tenants
21:35Rough?
21:36Like you've not been scrapping and carrying on in here
21:38I mean, it's all very well in your bar
21:40But anything broken in there
21:41Comes straight out of the deposit
21:43One month
21:48The flat on the parade will be ready by then
21:50Be like old times
21:51Old times?
21:52Have you forgotten who I used to share with?
21:54I'm not moving back in that flat with Katie
21:56There's no way
21:58Yeah, but what does she want?
22:00Want to see us
22:02It's okay, isn't it?
22:03I mean, she is your mum
22:04All right, yeah
22:04Thanks for reminding me
22:06Look, son
22:06Let's make it a bit of an effort
22:08I don't mean for Gemma's sake
22:09Push my computer off the big screen
22:11Is it like a tally?
22:13You'll be able to have a plane in
22:14Next time you come down
22:16Sounds like you've got some basket, you know?
22:18Ooh
22:23So, er, is that his car outside?
22:25No, it's mine
22:26You can have a drive if you want
22:27Can I?
22:28You can't
22:29I haven't got a licence
22:29Can you?
22:31No, he hasn't
22:33Well, you can have a ride in it, at least
22:34Could you get a day off tomorrow?
22:36No, I can't just take days off like that
22:38I could
22:38You've got school
22:40I never see me mum
22:41You're going to school
22:42One day, what difference would it make?
22:45I'm not going to argue with you about this
22:46You don't want me to see me mum?
22:49I'm sure your dad knows best
22:50I never see you
22:51Couldn't we say I'm sick?
22:53Oh, no
22:53I'm not going to have this conversation with you, old lady
22:55I'm taking the day off to stay with me mum
22:57One day, that's all
22:59Well, you'll go to school or else
23:00Or else what?
23:01What are you going to do?
23:02Dock it off my school money?
23:04What's school money?
23:07It's pocket money
23:08What money's that, Gemma?
23:09Are you getting money?
23:10Not much
23:11You're safe, why?
23:12It's losing me the place at that school
23:14Look, it's nothing
23:15It's just another man
23:16I wondered how you could afford drugs
23:18It's got nothing to do with that
23:19Great
23:19So I'm slogging me guts out on a crappy job to pay you keep
23:22So you can pay here to go to school
23:24No, it's
23:24I'm sick of here getting everything
23:25I don't
23:26I should get into drugs as well
23:27So you can pay me to stop
23:28You were the one who got me in there in the first place
23:31In where?
23:32Look, we'll talk about this later
23:33I knew you couldn't keep your mouth shut
23:35Stop this now
23:36You're paying your own daughter to go to school
23:38No, it's
23:38You got her into this drugs thing
23:40No, I never
23:40Got her into the club
23:41Well, I was I meant to know you'd be stupid enough to take an aid
23:43Right, upstairs a pair of you
23:44Oh, no, you don't
23:45You don't go brushing all this under the carpet
23:48I think you've done enough damage to these two
23:51Looks like I got you just in time
24:00When have you ever cared about to either of us?
24:02I don't want her thinking she can twist me round her little finger every time she has a tantrum
24:05You're serious about this, aren't you?
24:07I'd be down a bar blocky about half past twelve
24:09My dad's in a pen with you
24:10Because you've got a lot of learning to do before tonight
24:12All I'm concerned about right now is the kids
24:15Who ever had that before?
24:20Fancy a beige capri?
24:22Or what about an orange maxi?
24:24Colors big business in the motor trade
24:26And Driven finds out why next
