00:03I'll take it.
00:04You've got permission?
00:06Looks like it.
00:06Can I buy you a drink?
00:08No, it's all right.
00:08Get me home.
00:09A pint, please, Liz.
00:10All right.
00:12Hiya.
00:13Do you want a drink?
00:14No.
00:14Why does I want to keep buying me drinks?
00:16I don't know.
00:17Maybe it's your delightful company.
00:18Sorry.
00:19I've got a lot on my mind.
00:22Now, one final toast.
00:25You said that last time.
00:27Oh, well.
00:28OK, here's to you.
00:30To me.
00:32And last, but by no means least,
00:35our gorgeous and brilliant concept executive.
00:38Hey!
00:40Now, speaking of designers,
00:43weren't you supposed to be giving the architect a call?
00:45Giving the good news?
00:49Do you know what?
00:49I'll do that from home.
00:51It's a bit quieter there.
00:52Excuse me, love.
00:53Tell him I'm looking forward to working with him.
00:55I will.
00:57I'll be sure to pass that on.
01:01There you go.
01:02Sorry, Liz.
01:03You just, um, put that behind the bars.
01:05It's something I've got to do.
01:09Yeah, I appreciate that.
01:11Well, and hopefully,
01:12we can work together in the future sometime.
01:14Yeah.
01:15OK, bye.
01:17Bye.
01:19In the next life.
01:21Something tells me that was the architect.
01:24What do you think you're doing sneaking around here?
01:27Are you wigging?
01:28Oh, Pat, this is my mum's house.
01:29I don't care whose house it is.
01:31What do you think you're playing at?
01:33All right.
01:34Keep your hair on,
01:34outraged to Weatherfield.
01:36Anyway,
01:37I think you're the one
01:38who needs to answer a few questions.
01:42What can I do?
01:42Oh, really?
01:43No.
01:45Just like I don't know anything
01:46about punting around with begonias.
01:48Maybe you should keep your nose out of my business.
01:50See, though,
01:50it's not just your business, though, is it?
01:52It's my mum's and Jason's and all.
01:54See, why don't you just explain to me
01:56what that phone call was all about?
01:57I've already told you.
01:59OK, well, look,
01:59maybe I'm just a bit thick.
02:00Maybe you should just, you know,
02:01just try me again, Pat, come on.
02:04OK, I've told you.
02:05It's normal practice
02:06to change the architect
02:07at this stage of the project.
02:10Now are you happy?
02:11No, not really,
02:12because that's not what you told my mum, is it?
02:14I mean, I heard you.
02:15Why didn't you tell her
02:16you were going to sack him?
02:17Why did you lie to her?
02:18You're really getting on my nerves, kid.
02:21Do you want to know what I think?
02:22Not particularly, no.
02:23You see, before I was poncing about with begonias,
02:26I worked in a solicitor's office.
02:28So?
02:28So.
02:30Right, we worked on this case
02:33where these...
02:35lying,
02:36thieving,
02:38lowlifes were ripping people off
02:39by selling them holiday villas.
02:41The thing is,
02:42they didn't exist.
02:44It was just...
02:45It was just a big scam.
02:46I mean, these guys
02:47were making hundreds of thousands
02:50before they were caught
02:51and locked up, that is.
02:54As fascinating as that little story was,
02:58I don't see what it's got to do with me.
03:00Oh, really?
03:02Now he's being thick.
03:05Delusional,
03:05seeing things that aren't there.
03:08You can get pills for that, you know?
03:10You can say what you like.
03:11I know it's a scam.
03:13I mean, look at you.
03:14Struggling to come up with an excuse.
03:17Hang on a minute.
03:18Let's just get this straight.
03:20You used to work in a solicitor's office.
03:22Mm-hmm.
03:22Making the tea.
03:23No, no.
03:24I was a clerk.
03:25Oh, and that qualifies you to spot a scam?
03:26Well, you see, I can see when somebody's lying, Pat.
03:28Can you?
03:29Yeah.
03:29You sure?
03:31Because you've accused me of trying to rip your family off before.
03:34Remember what happened last time?
03:35You couldn't have been more wrong.
03:38OK, well, I'd best get a second opinion.
03:41I'm just going to go to the Rovers, you know,
03:42just have a quick chat with me mum.
03:46Gone to your mummy twice before.
03:48She's never believed you.
03:51Your poker face needs a bit of work, mate.
03:54I can see the fear in your eyes.
04:03Vinny, we're in trouble, mate.
04:05Mum?
04:07She's had a better offer, I'm afraid.
04:10Where is she?
04:11Somewhere you can't get her.
04:12Have you done anything to this?
04:13Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:14You're going to stamp your feet...
04:15What have you done with her?
04:17Chill out.
04:19Everything's hunky-dory.
04:21Just protecting her from you.
04:23You've got to be joking me, right?
04:24No.
04:25Your mum's got a fantastic future ahead of her.
04:28You're trying to wreck it with your big dog.
04:30It's a scam, Pat. None of it's real.
04:31All you need to know, she's out of harm's way.
04:35Give you a chance to cool down.
04:38Have a proper think.
04:39Think? Think about what?
04:40About the building project.
04:42I've put a lot of time, effort.
04:44Not to mention Jason's money into it.
04:48You're the only member of this family
04:50that's not going to benefit from this.
04:53You could be part of it.
04:56Have you wanted?
04:59Just tell me where she is.
05:01Then we can talk.
05:02She's safe.
05:03That's all you need to know.
05:04Now, you be quiet.
05:06Try and focus.
05:07You might learn something.
05:10This is not like we're trying to take somebody
05:12for everything they've got.
05:14Okay?
05:15It's a few grand here, a few grand there.
05:17We're spreading the load.
05:20In some ways, I'm doing them a favour.
05:22Yeah.
05:22Yeah, right.
05:23I am.
05:24It's a valuable life lesson.
05:25Read the small print.
05:26Oh, it doesn't matter what the small print says.
05:30You're trying to sell people something that doesn't exist.
05:32You're going to get caught.
05:34Mm-mm.
05:35Benny's done this before.
05:36He's got it down to a fine art.
05:37When the time comes, we split the money.
05:40Okay?
05:40He does a runner.
05:41He gets the blame.
05:42We come up smelling the roses.
05:45You really think it's that simple?
05:48Todd.
05:49I love your mother.
05:51I can't stand to see her struggling,
05:54working her backside off,
05:56pulling ten-hour shifts in that nasty little office
05:58and being paid at pins.
06:00You know?
06:02And you.
06:02What about you?
06:04You're going to be poncing around in that flower shop
06:07for the rest of your days?
06:09A bright young lad like you.
06:11You're going to have the world at his feet.
06:13Come on.
06:19Who's that?
06:25Yeah, yeah.
06:26Come in.
06:32Patrick Phelan?
06:35Yes.
06:35Can we ask you to accompany us to the police station?
06:38A couple of allegations have been made against you.
06:42It's down to you.
06:44He hates it when I cheat at Monopoly.
06:46It's been alleged that you're planning to commit fraud
06:49and we'd like your help to locate Eileen Grimshaw.
06:53Well, I hope it's not going to take long
06:54because I haven't had my tea yet.
07:01Office still stands.
07:02Ball's in your coat.
07:03Ball's in your coat.
07:04Ball's in your coat.
07:05Ball's in your coat.
07:05Ball's in your coat.
07:07Ball's in your coat.
07:07Ball's in your coat.
07:07Ball's in your coat.
