0:00:32 > 0:00:35< Better get a move on, Ian. You'll be late for work.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38< Shabnam's already opened up and I'm exhausted.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44I think I'm more tired now than when I went to bed.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47What was wrong with you last night...?

0:00:47 > 0:00:48Darling, are you all right?

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Look, you don't want to pay any attention to what they've got to say.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10- So you haven't told her, then? - I tried.

0:01:10 > 0:01:15- Not hard enough!- Please, Patrick. Just give me a little bit more time. - You had your chance, Ian.- Patrick...

0:01:16 > 0:01:19"Recent enquiries have produced fresh leads, which we are now

0:01:19 > 0:01:23"actively pursuing, said Detective Inspector Samantha Keeble."

0:01:24 > 0:01:29Well, we'll see, won't we? Good day to you all. Patrick.

0:01:29 > 0:01:30New leads? Sounds promising.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Nah. It's cop-speak for "I ain't got a clue," innit?

0:01:34 > 0:01:35Mo!

0:01:35 > 0:01:38What?! I say it as I see it.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42- I'm sure it's a matter of time, isn't it?- I wouldn't count on it.

0:01:42 > 0:01:43Patrick...

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Sorry, did you want something?

0:01:47 > 0:01:49I'll go and make myself useful out back.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52There is something...

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Sorry, not interrupting anything, am I?

0:01:55 > 0:01:59I saw these on Pam's stall and I thought you deserved a treat.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Have you taken something, dear?

0:02:02 > 0:02:05No. Me and Patrick were outside talking about the wedding

0:02:05 > 0:02:07and I got excited.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12Patrick realises how important this is to both of us.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15I should go and put these in water, really, shouldn't I?

0:02:19 > 0:02:23Have you no shame?! What the devil was that all about?

0:02:23 > 0:02:27- Please... Patrick...- Have you any idea what this is going to do to her?

0:02:27 > 0:02:30All the more reason why we should keep it to ourselves.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34Please, I'm just asking you, just give me a chance to explain.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47He can't even look at me.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51He'll come round, you know, when things get back to normal.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56I'll drop him off and I'll pick this up on the way back, yeah?

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Unless you want to do it?

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Sharon, you've got to go out some time.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04You think I don't want to? I can't.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Dennis? You've got ten seconds to get in here,

0:03:07 > 0:03:10otherwise I'll take your console to the charity shop.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Right, let's get going.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18I'll pick up your prescription on the way back.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Thanks.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22Bye.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31- A dominoes match?- Yeah. Knockout competition. Five quid to enter, winner takes all.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Morning, all!- Aunt Babe!

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Look what the cat's brought in. What's she doing here?

0:03:36 > 0:03:40I've come to make myself useful while Mick's over at Elaine's.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43We're not all useless, idle lumps. Is Tina about?

0:03:43 > 0:03:44She's in the caff today.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Oh, right. That lady in Maldon definitely wants the last pup.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49And then Lady Di can come home?

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Oooh, I'll have all my babies with me again!

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Yeah. What about my dominoes match?

0:03:54 > 0:03:56I might get a crowd from my old boozer to come over.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00Better lock up your jewellery, then. Bigger bunch of crooks and jailbirds, you've never seen.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02You keep out of this.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Come on, Linda, it's just what you need for your Monday night trade.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08You're not filling my pub with the dregs of Canning Town.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10One's plenty. The answer's no.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14SHE LAUGHS

0:04:14 > 0:04:17LAUGHTER

0:04:20 > 0:04:24Sienna Parker's dad's taking them to Disneyland for their holiday.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28- Why can't we go?- Cos it costs an arm and a leg. Anyway, when the Inland Revenue catches up with him,

0:04:28 > 0:04:30his life'll be one long holiday.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32You all right?

0:04:36 > 0:04:37Oh. It's Monday...

0:04:40 > 0:04:44I was....I was trying to talk to Lucy

0:04:44 > 0:04:47about a problem she was having.

0:04:47 > 0:04:52Erm, Peter came in and he overheard me say something which...

0:04:53 > 0:04:55..upset them both and...

0:04:56 > 0:04:59I just needed to get away.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02And you just happened to bump into Rainie. Is that it?

0:05:04 > 0:05:05My head was all over the place.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09I didn't know what I was doing...

0:05:11 > 0:05:14It was...just a stupid mistake.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15You got that right.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19I love Denise.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22How the devil can you say that, Ian?!

0:05:22 > 0:05:26If you loved her, you wouldn't even think about going near that,

0:05:26 > 0:05:27that...woman.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30My Denise is worth ten of you. You know that?

0:05:30 > 0:05:32I know. And I'm sorry.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35You have no idea at all what she's sacrificed to be here, you know,

0:05:35 > 0:05:37- do you?- How do you mean?

0:05:40 > 0:05:44That girl has been a rock to you.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Most people would have scampered at the first opportunity.

0:05:47 > 0:05:52- I know that. I know.- She's spent months nursing you and your family back to health.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Not a moment's thought for herself, you know.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57And this is how you repay her?!

0:06:00 > 0:06:04I tell you, if I was a younger man, I would take you out right here, right now.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10- What's a double "mascotomy"? - Mastectomy, dummy!

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Nan's got to have her, y'know... taken away.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16How long are you going to be in hospital?

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- About four days.- We'll be able to come and visit you, though?

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Course we will. She's going to need regular gossip magazines and chocolate, ain't she?

0:06:22 > 0:06:27It's a big operation and I'm not going to be able to do anything for a long time afterwards.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29You lot are going to be late for school. So can we please go?

0:06:32 > 0:06:34There's so much to organise.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37I mean, this house doesn't run by itself.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41And the bailiffs? What about them? Those debts aren't going to go anywhere...

0:06:41 > 0:06:44I've got to cancel this. There's a number on this letter somewhere...

0:06:44 > 0:06:46No, you don't!

0:06:49 > 0:06:53You've seen Denise. She's happy. She's excited about the wedding.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Do you really want to take that away from her?

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Don't you dare put that on me!

0:06:59 > 0:07:04It was one stupid mistake. OK? Can't we just forget about it?

0:07:04 > 0:07:05And what about Rainie?

0:07:07 > 0:07:09I've sorted it.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11That girl is a loose cannon.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13I found her on your doorstep, remember?

0:07:13 > 0:07:15And I've dealt with it.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17You dealt with her...how?

0:07:19 > 0:07:21You've paid her?

0:07:21 > 0:07:25HE SCOFFS

0:07:27 > 0:07:31And when that money runs out? What happens then, eh?

0:07:34 > 0:07:37I'll give you till seven o'clock.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40And if you don't tell Denise, I will. You hear me?

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Patrick. Look, I know I shouldn't, but do you want to take these now?

0:07:50 > 0:07:55No. Just put them through my door, like you're supposed to.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57What you doing? Picking winners?

0:07:57 > 0:08:02Ah, if only. Nah, these are the dead certs I'm interested in.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06- The obituaries? Bit morbid, innit? - I'm checking the competition.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Cut-throat business, the funeral game.

0:08:09 > 0:08:14- You got your arrangements in place? - Me? No. Should I have?

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Oooh, best to be prepared!

0:08:17 > 0:08:21You never know what's around the corner!

0:08:23 > 0:08:25- So when did you get back? - Last night.

0:08:25 > 0:08:30As soon as Uncle Darius got the all-clear from the doc, I was on the first train back quick fast.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31Hey!

0:08:33 > 0:08:37- What was that for?- I just been paid for all the overtime I was owed.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39- 460 quid.- Yay!

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Why are you two so loved-up?

0:08:41 > 0:08:45We just got enough money for our first trip down the baby clinic.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47You two having a baby?

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Mmm. Got a problem with that?

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Me?! No, no, no. I was just wondering, you know, who gets to choose...

0:08:52 > 0:08:53That would be me.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Nice. OK. Well, ladies, if you ever need a donation of any kind,

0:08:57 > 0:08:59you know where to find me. Right?

0:09:01 > 0:09:04We're still a couple of hundred quid short.

0:09:04 > 0:09:05How's my favourite niece?

0:09:05 > 0:09:09Aunt Babe... This is Tosh. You remember me talking to you about her?

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Of course I do. - I've heard a lot about you.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Then you'll know I'm very protective of my family.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17- I think you two are going to be the best of friends.- I'm sure we will.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23Right, OK... I'm just going to go and change out of these.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26- It was nice meeting you. - You can call me Aunt Babe.

0:09:26 > 0:09:27For now, at least.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Gorgeous, ain't she?

0:09:29 > 0:09:31I'm sure she has a certain charm.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34I'll have a bit more business for you in the next day or so.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Fresh crop. All right?

0:09:36 > 0:09:37Love you, Aunt Babe!

0:09:42 > 0:09:4440 minutes I had to wait for these.

0:09:46 > 0:09:47I got you some water.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50I don't want 'em. You know what they did to me last time.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Sharon, it's different this time. - How?

0:09:54 > 0:09:55I'm here, ain't I?

0:09:57 > 0:09:58Come on.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16- All right? - Lee, I'm not in the mood.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Ain't you meant to be at work?

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Yeah, I am, but my class is on an end of term trip.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Not that it's any of your business.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Maybe me and you could have our own little end of term treat later? What do you reckon?

0:10:25 > 0:10:28Later? No. Sorry. I'm washing my hair.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30And that takes all night, does it?

0:10:30 > 0:10:34If something's worth doing, Lee, it's worth doing properly.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Here's a bloke who fancies himself a bit of a player. - What are you talking about?

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Dominoes. Five quid to enter, winner takes all.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43By winner, I mean...yours truly.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45Not if I've got anything to do with it.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Sorry. Busy.- Now there's a surprise. - What do you mean by that?

0:10:49 > 0:10:53Patrick, you used to be fun. Now all you do is skulk around the Square

0:10:53 > 0:10:56with the weight of the world on your shoulders. Lighten up!

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Yeah, she's right. You're a long time dead.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Let's say your place, six o'clock.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04And crack a smile, will you?

0:11:28 > 0:11:32Yeah, it's me. Listen, I need to see you.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36You know why.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Half past 11, Walford Park. All right?

0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Hiya.- Hiya. - Do you want a coffee or something?

0:11:48 > 0:11:52Er, no...nil by mouth. Ramadan.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56Still, there's only four days and a few hours to go before Eid.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Not that I'm counting the hours...

0:11:58 > 0:12:00You temptress!

0:12:00 > 0:12:02SHE CHUCKLES

0:12:02 > 0:12:07Hey. I, er, delivered the post through the letter box, like you asked.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09It was only junk mail.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Patrick, are you all right? Cos you don't seem to be quite...

0:12:11 > 0:12:15For heaven's sake! Can't a man just have his coffee in peace, now?

0:12:15 > 0:12:18Oh! I'm sorry.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Tina...

0:12:20 > 0:12:24It's all right, it's all right. Don't worry.

0:12:25 > 0:12:26Are you all right, Patrick?

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm OK.

0:12:29 > 0:12:33Old age, you know, you know how it is. Tina, I'm sorry.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37TV ON

0:12:37 > 0:12:39BANGING AT DOOR

0:12:40 > 0:12:41Who is it?

0:12:41 > 0:12:42< It's me!

0:12:44 > 0:12:45This isn't a great time.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49I'm not feeling too good at the moment.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52I've not seen you in ages. Come on. You and me are hitting the sales.

0:12:55 > 0:12:56Sharon...?

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Today's not a good day, Linda. OK?

0:13:01 > 0:13:03I can... I can see that.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08Right. Well, let's get started on these dishes, shall we?

0:13:12 > 0:13:16Don't just stand there gawping. Those plates need clearing.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Once we've sorted this lot out, we can have a root through that wardrobe of yours.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Pick you out something nice to wear. How does that sound?

0:13:25 > 0:13:26Oh, Sharon...

0:13:28 > 0:13:31It's all right. It's all right.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47We haven't even talked money yet!

0:13:47 > 0:13:49I'm not that kind of girl that does it outside.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53What the hell do you think you're doing, telling Patrick?

0:13:53 > 0:13:54You're hurting me, Ian.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Have you got any idea what you've done?

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Look at you. You're a dirty little skank.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04I was good enough for you, though, weren't I?

0:14:04 > 0:14:07Denise deserves to know what her precious fiance's been up to.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09SHE CHUCKLES

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Patrick's told her.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16That means there's no more money for you. Do you understand?

0:14:16 > 0:14:19And I don't want you anywhere near the Square. Is that clear?

0:14:19 > 0:14:20I don't believe you.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Don't push me, Rainie.

0:14:23 > 0:14:27You've got no idea what I'm capable of.

0:14:27 > 0:14:28No idea.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38You can't let them thugs make you a prisoner in your own home.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40It's not just what happened in The Albert.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Can I ask you something, Linda?

0:14:44 > 0:14:45Course. Anything.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Have you ever hit your kids?

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Is this about Dennis?

0:14:52 > 0:14:56He did something he shouldn't have and I...

0:14:56 > 0:14:59I saw red and I grabbed him and I shook him.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01I feel so ashamed.

0:15:03 > 0:15:09One night, years ago, Mick was away somewhere. Lee was, what, five?

0:15:09 > 0:15:13It took me three renditions of I Dreamed A Dream to get him off.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Anyway, I was putting Johnny down and Nancy started.

0:15:18 > 0:15:22She wanted something - can't even remember what it was - anyway,

0:15:22 > 0:15:25I said no and she started screaming her head off.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Lee woke up, and Johnny started crying and...

0:15:30 > 0:15:34..I can still see the mark my hand left on her little leg.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36You hit her?

0:15:36 > 0:15:38We ain't saints, Sharon. We're mums.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Look, why don't you get dressed and we'll go for a walk?

0:15:43 > 0:15:47Bit of fresh air, sunshine. Soon sort you out.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50- Do more good than them pills. - You think I don't know that?

0:15:50 > 0:15:52Then why are you taking them?

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Because Phil thinks it's for the best.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58And what do you think?

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Don't get me wrong. He's been brilliant.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03But...I know what they can do.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05And I can't go back.

0:16:05 > 0:16:06Oh, Sharon.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11D'you know what I think?

0:16:11 > 0:16:14You've gotta do what's best for you and Denny,

0:16:14 > 0:16:15and screw everyone else.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18This is your life, Sharon.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Mum? - I'm in here.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29I thought you was at work today?

0:16:29 > 0:16:32I'm on nights this week. I did tell you that.

0:16:32 > 0:16:36Oh, sorry. Did you?

0:16:36 > 0:16:39So, what's all this about cancelling the op?

0:16:39 > 0:16:42I just... I need time to sort everything out.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45Mum, come on, you know this has got to be done as quickly as possible.

0:16:45 > 0:16:46Yeah. That's what I said.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49You've spent your life running round after us, now it's our turn.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Yeah, let the lunatics run the asylum for a bit.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54Shopping, cleaning, washing, a sink that doesn't empty properly.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56A toilet that needs flushing twice.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59Packed lunch, laundry, turning off lights.

0:16:59 > 0:17:00That's my life.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03No. They're the details of your life.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Your life is far more precious than that.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09- Which is why you're going to go to that hospital on Monday. - Even if we have to drag you there.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Mum, we'll survive here. We'll be fine.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13More importantly, so will you.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Oi, oi! - Why do you do that all the time?

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Was it part of your army training or something?

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Yeah. Black ops. Here, look, I've got something for you.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Two-in-one. Shampoo and conditioner.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29So it don't take you all night to wash that lovely hair of yours,

0:17:29 > 0:17:31and that way you can see me later.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33This is anti-dandruff shampoo.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36What are you saying - I've got dandruff or something?

0:17:36 > 0:17:42No. No, I didn't mean... I was only joking.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48I know that, Stan, but what do I get for this?

0:17:48 > 0:17:51The honour of competing against one of Canning Town's finest.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Don't I even get a drink?

0:17:53 > 0:17:57Of course you do, as long as you bring your own.

0:17:57 > 0:17:58Dominoes? Dominoes anybody?

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Anti-dandruff, are you kidding?

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Yeah, I swear. You should have seen his face when he realised.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08- What a muppet. - I think it's really sweet.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11- You should give him another chance. - Yeah, he should be so lucky.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13- Is that Mum in?- What're you still doing here?- Sit down, Nan.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16- I've got to get the dinner on. - I think you'll find that's in hand.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19Yeah. You can sit down and take the weight off your sling-backs.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22This is going to be the best chilli con carne you've ever had.

0:19:22 > 0:19:23With a bit of luck and a following wind.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26- The wind comes later. - Do you want a cup of tea, Nan?

0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Yeah, I'd love one. - I'll make it.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31- What are you two doing? - We're doing the laundry.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34There's whites, coloureds. Lightly soiled...

0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Morgan's pants. - Oi!

0:19:37 > 0:19:40I'm doing a rota on this spreadsheet.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43See, this column's all the jobs, washing-up, cleaning.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45This one's all the names. Coloured-coded too.

0:19:45 > 0:19:49- I'm green.- Yeah, you will be after you've ate Sonia's dinner.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52See, told you it'd all be all right.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56DOOR CLOSES

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Is that you, Denny?

0:19:59 > 0:20:02- Where's Phil? - He had to go to the Arches.

0:20:04 > 0:20:08- I'm sorry, Mum. - Come here!

0:20:08 > 0:20:11You've got nothing to be sorry for. Do you hear me?

0:20:14 > 0:20:18Tell me, Patrick. Have you given any thought to your old age?

0:20:18 > 0:20:19I'm sorry?

0:20:19 > 0:20:23My job is simply to take that worry away from you.

0:20:23 > 0:20:27This is where I used to live, Stan. Until Patrick chucked me out.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30Shame this ain't still a B&B.

0:20:30 > 0:20:34Fat Elvis knows a few Polish boys just crying out for a room.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Let the girls charge by the hour, did you?

0:20:36 > 0:20:39- What're you talking about? - I know what goes on in these B&Bs.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Don't pretend you didn't turn a blind eye.- What did you just say?

0:20:42 > 0:20:45You'll have to forgive Patrick, Stan.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48He's got a bit prudish in his old age.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53You know, you have no idea at all...

0:20:55 > 0:20:57What?

0:20:57 > 0:20:58Come on. Spit it out.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05Let's just get on with the game, shall we?

0:21:11 > 0:21:13Oh. You off somewhere?

0:21:13 > 0:21:15I thought we could go to Oxford to see Libby.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17I was just going to put this in the car.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Thought you two can plan the wedding together,

0:21:19 > 0:21:21and I can sit down and do a bit of paperwork...

0:21:21 > 0:21:23OK, Ian. Ian. Stop.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26I know exactly why you want to get away.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34And do you know what? I don't blame you.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37Sorry, when exactly did you speak to Libby?

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Uh... I haven't spoken to her yet.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42Well, she's gonna be busy with work anyway.

0:21:42 > 0:21:43So we can always go tomorrow...

0:21:43 > 0:21:46No, no. I just really need to get away from this place,

0:21:46 > 0:21:48just for a couple of days.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51I've asked Shabnam. She said she'd cover you in the shop.

0:21:51 > 0:21:55All right, Ian! Let me grab a shower first, though?

0:21:55 > 0:21:58Of course, there was one girl caught touting her wares.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Ain't that right, Patrick? - I knew it!

0:22:00 > 0:22:03Patrick claimed he didn't know anything about it.

0:22:03 > 0:22:04Yeah! Likely story!

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Look at him, sat there like butter wouldn't melt.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10When all along he was Walford's answer to Cynthia Payne!

0:22:13 > 0:22:15You think this is funny?

0:22:15 > 0:22:18I do, as it happens.

0:22:18 > 0:22:22How is Rainie?

0:22:23 > 0:22:27- What's Rainie got to do with anything?- Forget it.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30Not until you tell me what you're getting at.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34Dominoes originated in China, you know.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Although, some scholars suggest

0:22:36 > 0:22:39the game goes back as far as the Egyptians.

0:22:39 > 0:22:43Is this all part of your plan, eh? Bore me to death?

0:22:43 > 0:22:46I'll have you know Rainie's getting her life together.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48- Is that right? - Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it is.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51She's got a flat-share over in North London.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53I'm pleased to hear that.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56What are you raking up all this again for?

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Look, let's forget I ever mentioned it. All right?

0:23:03 > 0:23:07I don't know what's happened to you lately, Patrick. But this...

0:23:08 > 0:23:11..I don't like it one bit.

0:23:13 > 0:23:18There you go, sweetheart.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22You're looking better.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26I told you those pills would do the job, didn't I?

0:23:30 > 0:23:34- So, say if I was to croak it next week...- Heaven forbid.

0:23:34 > 0:23:35How much is it gonna cost?

0:23:35 > 0:23:39Are we talking an understated affair or something more opulent?

0:23:39 > 0:23:42I don't give a monkey's. I'll be brown bread.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44Give or take 4,000, I'd say.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Flamin' vultures, the lot of you!

0:23:46 > 0:23:49Four grand for a wooden box and a six-foot hole?!

0:23:49 > 0:23:51When my time's up, you can stick me out with the bins!

0:23:51 > 0:23:54- That can be arranged. - Four grand?!

0:23:54 > 0:23:57I tell you what, Mo, we'll have a whip round, shall we?

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Yeah. I could put a jar on the bar.

0:23:59 > 0:24:03That's community spirit. Patrick?

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Hmm? Oh, sorry.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10Don't worry, Patrick. I ain't going nowhere.

0:24:10 > 0:24:11Oh, bravo!

0:24:11 > 0:24:14Where was you hiding that one? Down your trousers?

0:24:16 > 0:24:19What's the matter, Patrick? Would you rather be somewhere else?

0:24:33 > 0:24:37Sharon said you came round ours this afternoon?

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Yeah. I hadn't seen her for weeks. I was worried.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Well, must have done some good. Cos she's a lot brighter.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Thanks. - You all right, girls?

0:24:45 > 0:24:48Couple of large white wines, please, Linda.

0:24:48 > 0:24:49Where's Dad?

0:24:49 > 0:24:51He's over at Patrick's playing dominoes.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53With any luck, that's him gone for the night.

0:24:53 > 0:24:57- I think this calls for a bit of happy hardcore, don't you?- Yeah!

0:24:57 > 0:24:58Are you two celebrating?

0:24:58 > 0:25:01We've almost got enough for our first appointment at the clinic.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04Especially now you've agreed to lend us the extra money.

0:25:04 > 0:25:08I've done no such thing. Tina? What's this?

0:25:09 > 0:25:13You know, what we was talking about in the cafe earlier.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15- Oh, that money. - Teen?

0:25:15 > 0:25:19- You sure you're both ready? - Why d'you say that?

0:25:19 > 0:25:23From what Shirley says, you two have got a few issues to resolve first.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Me and T are fine.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28That girl means the world to me.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32If you so much as hurt a hair on her head, you'll have me to answer to.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35- Is that understood? - You all right?

0:25:36 > 0:25:41I was just asking Tosh if she'd like one of my home-made eclairs.

0:25:41 > 0:25:42I'll go and plate a few up, shall I?

0:25:44 > 0:25:47Can't be much fun. Rattling around this place on your own.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49Just give it a rest now, woman.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52I was just saying, me and you could make some serious cash here.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54She's got a point.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57Especially since your daughter's been living with that Beale fella.

0:25:57 > 0:25:58She ain't his daughter.

0:25:58 > 0:26:02Well, she's as good as. Ain't that right, Patrick?

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Come on, it's your turn, Les.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07He ain't even playing. He's only here touting for business.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10I just think it's time you thought about your future, Maureen.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12None of us are getting any younger, you know.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16I've got at least 30 years left in me, I'll have you know.

0:26:16 > 0:26:17Heaven forbid.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Fat Elvis says I've got the body of a woman half my age.

0:26:20 > 0:26:21How's his cataracts?

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Hey! Watch it!

0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Where're you going? - Out!

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Go on, go. We'll have more fun without you.

0:26:36 > 0:26:37Hungry?

0:26:37 > 0:26:40All day I've been dreaming about swimming in a sea of cake.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43- Don't, it's disrespectful. - Ian.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46Libby? It's Mum. You'll never guess where we're going.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49Be fun, won't it?

0:26:54 > 0:26:57Ian? Denise!

0:26:57 > 0:26:59Denise!

0:27:03 > 0:27:06ALL LAUGH

0:27:06 > 0:27:09Denise, call me as soon as you pick up this message.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12I've got something very, very important to tell you. Call me soon.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Patrick? You OK?

0:27:24 > 0:27:27Get an ambulance!

0:27:27 > 0:27:29Patrick? Patrick!

0:27:31 > 0:27:33All right, Patrick. All right.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36Shhh. It's all right, old son. It's OK.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39It's all right, Patrick. Just lie there, you'll be all right.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42It's all right. Don't try and talk. It's OK, it's OK.

0:27:42 > 0:27:46It's all right, Patrick. The ambulance is on its way.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Just lie there.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55- How long's that been there? - Is it a problem?

0:27:55 > 0:27:58No. I'd better forward these on to Bobby.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01This is weird. Come here, have a listen to this.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05Denise, call me as soon as you pick up this message.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08I've got something very, very important to tell you.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10When was that?

0:28:10 > 0:28:14About half an hour before we got that call to turn back round.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16I wonder what all that's about?

0:28:16 > 0:28:19PHONE RINGS

0:28:19 > 0:28:21- Two guesses who that is. - Yeah, I'll get my coffee.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28- Can you see me? - Yes, I can see you.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32My name is Femi-onoko-bruuhruh-clook-coco.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34Thank you. I got your text.

0:28:34 > 0:28:36It'd better be good cos I ain't been to bed yet.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38What time is it over there?

0:28:38 > 0:28:41It's just after three in the afternoon.

0:28:41 > 0:28:42I wish it was afternoon here, mate.

0:28:42 > 0:28:45- Then all of this would be over. - What would?

0:28:45 > 0:28:49Take all the cactus in Mexico. Turn all that cactus into tequila.

0:28:49 > 0:28:52Pour that tequila down my throat.

0:28:52 > 0:28:54Then dance till dawn, Salsa, Samba, Rumba, Conga.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56All the ones that end in A basically,

0:28:56 > 0:28:58one or two end in O. Bolero.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01Feel peckish. Have a full English. Go back for seconds.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04Realise that the second one was a mistake. Feel sick.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06Want to lie down. Want to die.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09So, Denise, anything you've got to tell me,

0:29:09 > 0:29:13it can no way make me feel worse than what I feel right about now.

0:29:13 > 0:29:18Believe me. So, go on! Fire away.

0:29:19 > 0:29:20It's Patrick.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24What about Patrick?

0:29:24 > 0:29:26All we know is he's had a stroke and they're doing tests

0:29:26 > 0:29:28so it's just fingers crossed.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30Don't even think about it.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33No, not you. What time are you back from the wholesaler's?

0:29:33 > 0:29:34All right then.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37All right, I'll see you later. Love you an' all.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41- I tell you, if the stroke don't get him, the MRSA will.- £1.80.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44- What did you just say? - That's a bit much, ain't it?

0:29:44 > 0:29:46No, listen, I've spent half me life in the General.

0:29:46 > 0:29:48It's like my second home.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50I know how it was back then and I know how it is.

0:29:50 > 0:29:53They give the cleaning contract to the lowest possible bidder

0:29:53 > 0:29:57- and then wonder why the place is so filthy.- Poor Denise.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00Poor Patrick, you mean. Can't talk or barely move a finger.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02One side of his face is all saggy.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04It's always the women who end up as the carers, ain't it?

0:30:04 > 0:30:06I thought he had a son.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09Yeah. Kat knows all about that, don't you, Kat?

0:30:10 > 0:30:12So, is Anthony coming down?

0:30:12 > 0:30:14Certainly gave that impression last night.

0:30:14 > 0:30:16But when I tried to phone him again this morning,

0:30:16 > 0:30:21it just went straight to voicemail so I don't know what's going on.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23Well, so how are you feeling now?

0:30:23 > 0:30:25Oh, Kim, I'm that knackered, I don't know.

0:30:27 > 0:30:28But the doctors were hopeful?

0:30:28 > 0:30:31- They gave him something called... - Thrombolysis.

0:30:31 > 0:30:33"Thrombolysis"? ..but it didn't make much difference

0:30:33 > 0:30:36so it's just a question of wait and see now.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38Do they have any idea what brought it on?

0:30:38 > 0:30:41Cora reckoned he'd been stressed out.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44Stressed? What's he got to be stressed about?

0:30:44 > 0:30:48Look, you text me the minute you get back from the hospital, all right?

0:30:48 > 0:30:51- Course. - And tell Pops that Kimmie loves him.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53I will. Right, you go and get some sleep now.

0:30:53 > 0:30:56Do you really think I'm going to get any sleep now?

0:30:57 > 0:30:58Anyway, look, darling, I gotta go.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01Cos Ian wants to get on the computer.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03All right then. Well, love you, Sis.

0:31:03 > 0:31:04Love you too, darling.

0:31:07 > 0:31:08SHE SIGHS

0:31:08 > 0:31:12Sorry about that, otherwise she'd have been on that thingy all day.

0:31:14 > 0:31:19Look, we can't hang around for Anthony. We'd better just go.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21How about I go and see him on my own?

0:31:21 > 0:31:23What?

0:31:23 > 0:31:25It's like you said - you're knackered.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27Give you a chance to catch up on some sleep.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30Ian, there is no way I'm not going to go and see Patrick.

0:31:30 > 0:31:33He's the closest thing I've got to a dad.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35How could I not? Now come on.

0:31:37 > 0:31:41All ready for you. Ah, right money!

0:31:41 > 0:31:43Thank you.

0:31:43 > 0:31:45So did you go with him in the ambulance?

0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Why would I do that? - Well, hold his hand, maybe?

0:31:48 > 0:31:50I'd have gotten in the way.

0:31:50 > 0:31:54I bet Mrs Branning was upset. What with Mr Branning and everything.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56They've caught it early. That's the main thing.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59You're an expert now, are you?

0:31:59 > 0:32:01Well, I have been a hospital social worker.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05This has really got to you, hasn't it, Cora?

0:32:05 > 0:32:07I need to get back to work.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09I'll see you at Fat Blasters.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16And who's going to be washing that up?

0:32:16 > 0:32:19Them pills must be kicking in.

0:32:19 > 0:32:23Maybe you could pick Dennis up from school yourself today.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25Not till I'm ready.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27And certainly not with my hair like this.

0:32:27 > 0:32:28What's wrong with your hair?

0:32:28 > 0:32:31Trust you. I'm not even going to have this conversation.

0:32:31 > 0:32:35Right, I'll take Dennis straight to swimming then, yeah?

0:32:37 > 0:32:40Linda. Why don't you save all this backwards and forwards

0:32:40 > 0:32:41and just move in?

0:32:42 > 0:32:45Oh, take no notice. You get used to it.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48Before you ask, I've ditched the pills.

0:32:50 > 0:32:53Really? And how are you and Dennis getting on?

0:32:54 > 0:32:56- Yeah, we're much better. - Good!

0:32:56 > 0:32:58Right, listen, you can say no if you want to,

0:32:58 > 0:33:01but I'm going to this Fat Blasters meeting later on...

0:33:01 > 0:33:04- You're not fat. - Oh, that's nothing to do with it.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06Just a bunch of women moaning about men.

0:33:06 > 0:33:08It'll help get you out of yourself.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10I'm sorry, Linda, but my hair's a mess.

0:33:10 > 0:33:12- I'm really not... - You look great.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14Oh, don't do a Phil on me. I know what it looks like.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17Nobody will even notice. They're all very, you know, supportive.

0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Well, I'll see, OK? - Community Centre, 4.00.

0:33:20 > 0:33:24- Be great if you did come.- Bye.- Bye.

0:33:31 > 0:33:33That's a tenner, please, darling.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36Kat, you seen Bianca?

0:33:36 > 0:33:38Yeah, she's in the cafe.

0:33:38 > 0:33:39Cheers. See you later.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42That's her now. Just gone into the cafe.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45Life is short, boy. Cram it all in while you can.

0:33:45 > 0:33:46While there's still time.

0:33:49 > 0:33:51Gets it all from me, of course.

0:33:51 > 0:33:55The boyish charm, the sexual charisma, matinee idol good looks.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58He'll have to learn to cope with it, like I did.

0:34:00 > 0:34:04What's the matter, lad? Not jealous of him, are you?

0:34:05 > 0:34:07That would be - how shall I put it? -

0:34:07 > 0:34:09a bit perverse, wouldn't it?

0:34:12 > 0:34:14It's just Tiff's doing my head in

0:34:14 > 0:34:17about this stupid dress for the leavers' do. Any ideas?

0:34:17 > 0:34:20- She's 11 years old, Whit. - Going on 25.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22So what's wrong with the dress she's got now?

0:34:22 > 0:34:24Oh, don't, I've already had that conversation.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27- Well, take no notice of her, Whit. I'll sort her out later.- OK.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34- Hair's looking lovely today. - You frightened me.

0:34:34 > 0:34:35Not a speck of dandruff.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38Got some good stuff for athlete's foot indoors. Wart remover?

0:34:38 > 0:34:41- Maybe a bit of acne cream? - Lee, did you want something?

0:34:42 > 0:34:44Yeah. Another chance?

0:34:48 > 0:34:51What do you think that voicemail was all about?

0:34:51 > 0:34:53I don't know, maybe he was already feeling ill

0:34:53 > 0:34:54and wanted to let you know.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57Yeah, but who goes about leaving voicemails when they're having a stroke?

0:34:57 > 0:35:00I'll never get used to coming to this place.

0:35:00 > 0:35:01Gives me the creeps.

0:35:06 > 0:35:07Ian...

0:35:07 > 0:35:09What?

0:35:09 > 0:35:10Patrick.

0:35:13 > 0:35:15Patrick? What you doing?

0:35:17 > 0:35:19Excuse me!

0:35:19 > 0:35:21Excuse me, why has this man been left

0:35:21 > 0:35:23all by himself in the middle of a corridor?

0:35:27 > 0:35:29That's a bargain for 20 quid, that.

0:35:31 > 0:35:33Can you take over for us?

0:35:58 > 0:36:01- No-one was sure if you were coming. - For my own dad?

0:36:02 > 0:36:05- Nice suit. - Nice bump.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09If you're looking for Denise, you're too late.

0:36:09 > 0:36:12Her and Ian left for the hospital a half hour ago.

0:36:12 > 0:36:13Guess I'd better get there then.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17- How are you feeling? - Weird. Really weird.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21- You want to talk? - I haven't got time.

0:36:22 > 0:36:24It's not like he's going anywhere, is it?

0:36:25 > 0:36:26You are outrageous.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Blimey.- What?

0:36:30 > 0:36:32I'll tell you when we get inside.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36- So?- 1-0. Straight in the back of the net.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39Honestly, I astonish myself sometimes.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45Now, this is the old me, this is the unhealthy me.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48This is the two-sugars-in-me-tea me.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51This is the exercise-is-for-idiots me.

0:36:51 > 0:36:53- Now, does she look happy?- No.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56But neither would I if I got run over by a steam roller.

0:36:57 > 0:37:00Talk amongst yourselves. I'll be a couple of minutes, all right.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03Oh, and I tell you, Linda, he looked a proper gentleman.

0:37:03 > 0:37:07Does a proper gentleman go and have it away with your own daughter?

0:37:07 > 0:37:09- What? - It's true, I'm telling you.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12So how's she going to feel about seeing him again?

0:37:12 > 0:37:13Well, I don't know.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17- You not joining us, Cora? - I'm all right.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21I think Patrick's stroke has really got to her.

0:37:21 > 0:37:22Not as much as it's got to him.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25She was really off with me when I asked about him earlier.

0:37:25 > 0:37:27There's no love lost there, is there?

0:37:27 > 0:37:29He chucked her out of his house, didn't he?

0:37:29 > 0:37:31I think that's a bit unfair.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34Or maybe it's all been brought home to her.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36I mean, none of us are getting any younger.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38You speak for yourself.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41I started going backwards when I hit 70.

0:37:41 > 0:37:44- Right, are we all here? - Sharon said she might come.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47Oh, well, Linda, it's five past. If she comes, she comes.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49Now, who's going to be brave

0:37:49 > 0:37:51and be the first person to step on my scales?

0:37:51 > 0:37:54Come on. Don't be like that.

0:37:54 > 0:37:56We're all here to support each other. There's no judgment.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Cora, what about you? - No chance.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02- Linda? - Oh, hang on a sec.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08I thought people came here to lose weight, not put it on.

0:38:11 > 0:38:12TV CHATTERS

0:38:13 > 0:38:15MOBILE CHIMES

0:38:26 > 0:38:28So when are they due?

0:38:28 > 0:38:30Middle of next month.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33- Good luck. You'll need it with twins.- Yeah.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36Our youngest is two and a half and still a right handful.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40All right, here's the challenge - your toddler versus my toddler

0:38:40 > 0:38:43and the parent that's still sane at the end is the winner.

0:38:46 > 0:38:49- People do get better, you know. - Your mum didn't.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53Maybe she wasn't much of a fighter, but Patrick is.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56He'll pull through. You'll see.

0:38:56 > 0:39:00Thing is I've already spoken to the A & E consultant on the phone.

0:39:00 > 0:39:02- And? - He wasn't very encouraging.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06What am I going to do, Kat?

0:39:06 > 0:39:08It's not like I didn't realise

0:39:08 > 0:39:10something like this would happen one day, but...

0:39:10 > 0:39:12still doesn't prepare you for it.

0:39:14 > 0:39:15I'd better go.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18Will I see you again?

0:39:18 > 0:39:21Well, obviously I can't take him with me now. So probably, yeah.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25- We can have a proper catch-up. - That would be good.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29So how's Zoe?

0:39:29 > 0:39:32- It's all right, you don't have to. - Don't I?

0:39:33 > 0:39:36Sometimes it feels like my whole life is ruled by guilt.

0:39:36 > 0:39:39That means you care. That's why you're a doctor.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42I should start a support group. Guiltydoctors.org.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46It's really good to see you, Anthony.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48You too.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51- Send my love to your dad, yeah? - I will.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05Tasty. I'd keep him warm at night.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09What did I say?

0:40:09 > 0:40:12When we get back home, I'm writing a letter to the boss of this place.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14You heard what the nurse said.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16They were just waiting for a bed for him.

0:40:16 > 0:40:18Whose side are you on?

0:40:18 > 0:40:20The point is, he didn't come to any harm.

0:40:20 > 0:40:23- And where the hell is Anthony? - I know you're angry, all right.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25But don't take it out on everybody else.

0:40:25 > 0:40:27And since when did you turn into Mr Reasonable?

0:40:31 > 0:40:33Do you know what, we could be here like this for hours.

0:40:35 > 0:40:37We could always go and come back later?

0:40:37 > 0:40:39I mean, I have got the restaurant to open

0:40:39 > 0:40:41and it's not as if we're doing any good here, is it?

0:40:43 > 0:40:45Yeah...maybe.

0:40:50 > 0:40:54Kim sends you her love. And I love you too.

0:40:55 > 0:40:56All right.

0:40:59 > 0:41:00- What?- Look.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07You don't have to book a table here.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10- Just turn up and it should be fine. - It's just I wanted somewhere quiet.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13Like a nice little place in the corner, away from the door.

0:41:13 > 0:41:17- Oh, yeah? Who's the lucky lady? - None of your business.

0:41:17 > 0:41:19Oh, come on, you might as well tell me.

0:41:19 > 0:41:20I'm going to see anyway.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23All right. It's Whitney.

0:41:23 > 0:41:25Listen, Lee, if you muck her about...

0:41:25 > 0:41:27I really, really like her.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31Come on, you think I'd go to all this trouble if I didn't?

0:41:34 > 0:41:37- OK.- All right then. I'll see you later.

0:41:37 > 0:41:40Oh, and a nice bottle of bubbly on ice if you can?

0:41:40 > 0:41:42What sort of place do you think this is?

0:41:43 > 0:41:46- Like this. - Like your mum?

0:41:46 > 0:41:47No, the other one.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50Tiffany, the one I was named after.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53Yeah, well, she was an adult. You're a child.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57PHONE RINGS

0:41:57 > 0:41:59Hello.

0:41:59 > 0:42:01You're a dark horse, ain't ya?

0:42:01 > 0:42:02Sorry? What?

0:42:02 > 0:42:05- Don't act like you don't know. - What?

0:42:05 > 0:42:08Er, you and Lee and your romantic dinner for two!

0:42:08 > 0:42:09How did he talk you round?

0:42:13 > 0:42:14I felt sorry for him.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17I didn't think he wanted to take me out to dinner.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20Oh, yeah. Here at the restaurant. He asked to book a table.

0:42:21 > 0:42:22Are you joking?

0:42:22 > 0:42:25No. He seems desperate to make it up to you, Whit.

0:42:27 > 0:42:29Thought it was going to be a pie in the pub or something.

0:42:29 > 0:42:32Think again. Best knickers for you tonight.

0:42:37 > 0:42:39Say again? What was that?

0:42:39 > 0:42:42I think he said "Denise". Did you hear him say Denise?

0:42:42 > 0:42:43I dunno.

0:42:43 > 0:42:48You're in hospital, Patrick. I'm sorry, darling. You've had a stroke.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51But you're going to be all right. Do you hear me?

0:42:51 > 0:42:53PATRICK GROANS

0:42:53 > 0:42:57Yeah, that's right! That was definitely Denise.

0:42:57 > 0:42:58And look who's here as well. See?

0:43:01 > 0:43:05Come on, Patrick. You must recognise him.

0:43:05 > 0:43:07No.

0:43:07 > 0:43:11Yeah, yeah, you do, you do. Look harder.

0:43:11 > 0:43:14You're putting him under an awful lot of pressure. Just leave him.

0:43:14 > 0:43:15It can't be doing him any good.

0:43:18 > 0:43:20Oh, Anthony, thank God you're here.

0:43:20 > 0:43:24I got the first flight that I could. How's he doing?

0:43:24 > 0:43:25Dad?

0:43:25 > 0:43:28Yeah, he's only just come round. He's been trying to talk.

0:43:28 > 0:43:32He did that before. I think he's trying to smile.

0:43:34 > 0:43:36- Dad?- Paul?

0:43:40 > 0:43:41OK...

0:43:41 > 0:43:44I think we'll just leave you to it for a few minutes, yeah?

0:43:51 > 0:43:54Right, so you all know what you're doing? All right. You've got your food plans.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57Anyone that didn't pay your subs, I'll be chasing you up.

0:43:57 > 0:43:59I'll see next week.

0:43:59 > 0:44:02Right, who's for the pub? Cora?

0:44:02 > 0:44:04Yeah, I could do with a drink.

0:44:04 > 0:44:06- How about you, Pam? - Don't see why not.

0:44:06 > 0:44:08Can I just remind you

0:44:08 > 0:44:10if you are going to the pub, you've got targets to meet.

0:44:10 > 0:44:13You're doing really well. Don't throw it all away.

0:44:13 > 0:44:14What about you, Linda?

0:44:14 > 0:44:17No, I've got some things to do. Mick'll look after you.

0:44:21 > 0:44:22- Please?- No.

0:44:22 > 0:44:24Tiffany, you're 11 years old, babe.

0:44:24 > 0:44:27Yeah, and I've seen pictures of you when you were 11.

0:44:27 > 0:44:29What's the big rush?

0:44:29 > 0:44:31You've got plenty of time to think about boys and that.

0:44:31 > 0:44:34- Who said anything about boys?- So why do you want to dress like that?

0:44:34 > 0:44:35Cos everyone else will.

0:44:36 > 0:44:39Put the dress on so I can pin you in it, please.

0:44:39 > 0:44:40No way.

0:44:40 > 0:44:43Tiff, your nan is going into hospital on Monday

0:44:43 > 0:44:46and you're sitting there behaving like a spoilt little brat.

0:44:46 > 0:44:48- So put this dress on right now! - Make me.

0:44:48 > 0:44:50Hey, hey! What's the problem?

0:44:51 > 0:44:53You deal with it, because I can't.

0:44:55 > 0:44:56KNOCKING AT THE DOOR

0:44:56 > 0:44:59- Who is it? - Only me.

0:45:04 > 0:45:05Are you on your own?

0:45:05 > 0:45:08- Yeah, why?- Good.

0:45:08 > 0:45:10No arguments. I'm going to sort your barnet out.

0:45:10 > 0:45:13But first, stick the kettle on, and tell me everything you know

0:45:13 > 0:45:17about Kat, her daughter and, um I forget his name - Patrick's son...

0:45:21 > 0:45:25It's all right. Anthony's still here.

0:45:27 > 0:45:28He's just outside with Ian.

0:45:30 > 0:45:32He's going to be back in a minute.

0:45:40 > 0:45:42- Cheers.- He thinks I'm Paul.

0:45:43 > 0:45:46He's just confused.

0:45:46 > 0:45:47Is your dad still alive?

0:45:48 > 0:45:51No. He died a long time ago.

0:45:51 > 0:45:53Lucky you.

0:45:53 > 0:45:56Sorry. That was a terrible thing to say.

0:45:57 > 0:46:01Thing is, I didn't even know him till I was 30.

0:46:01 > 0:46:03I know he is my dad. I know I call him Dad.

0:46:03 > 0:46:04But I don't think of him as Dad.

0:46:06 > 0:46:08Dads bring up their kids. That's what they do. It's their job.

0:46:09 > 0:46:12I know what everyone says. "Patrick? Couldn't ask for a nicer guy."

0:46:12 > 0:46:14Well, maybe.

0:46:14 > 0:46:16But the fact is he walked out on my mother when I was just a baby.

0:46:16 > 0:46:18She was the one that brought us up.

0:46:18 > 0:46:20She's the one that juggled three jobs

0:46:20 > 0:46:22and still managed somehow to get us to school on time.

0:46:22 > 0:46:24Where was Patrick? Patrick wasn't there.

0:46:26 > 0:46:28But you really couldn't meet a nicer bloke.

0:46:30 > 0:46:33I shouldn't be dumping all this on you.

0:46:33 > 0:46:36Not something I'd ever allow myself to say out loud as a rule.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38I'm not judging you.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41Then there's the kids. Family life is hectic enough.

0:46:41 > 0:46:43You can't have forgotten what that's like.

0:46:43 > 0:46:46Oh, sorry. I did know.

0:46:46 > 0:46:50- And I haven't even mentioned it. - It's OK.

0:46:50 > 0:46:52- Here I am, rambling on about my own life...- It's fine.

0:46:52 > 0:46:54OK.

0:46:54 > 0:46:56People say things when they're stressed

0:46:56 > 0:46:59that they wouldn't normally say.

0:46:59 > 0:47:00I know that better than most.

0:47:02 > 0:47:04So...the kids?

0:47:05 > 0:47:11I don't want to go on about it, but my eldest, Euan, has problems.

0:47:11 > 0:47:13It's already put a severe strain on our marriage.

0:47:13 > 0:47:16And now this on top. What would you do?

0:47:17 > 0:47:18I can't...

0:47:18 > 0:47:21No, I want to know. What would you do?

0:47:25 > 0:47:31I hear what you're saying. OK? But the thing is, he's family.

0:47:31 > 0:47:35And family's important. I mean, that's how I was brought up.

0:47:35 > 0:47:38I can appreciate how it'd be hard for you...

0:47:38 > 0:47:40You think I should take him back to Scotland?

0:47:41 > 0:47:43I think you'd hate yourself if you didn't.

0:47:48 > 0:47:51- Aren't you getting changed? - I already have.

0:47:51 > 0:47:52Oh. Sorry.

0:47:53 > 0:47:58Just don't want to give him any ideas, that's all.

0:47:58 > 0:47:59DOORBELL DINGS

0:47:59 > 0:48:03Part of me wants to go and part of me can't forget.

0:48:03 > 0:48:04Are we talking about Lucy now?

0:48:05 > 0:48:08Everything. Does that sound stupid?

0:48:08 > 0:48:10If you're not ready, you're not ready.

0:48:10 > 0:48:12Right, that's it. I've sorted that out.

0:48:12 > 0:48:15I've told Tiff if she don't wear that then she's not going.

0:48:15 > 0:48:16DOORBELL DINGS

0:48:18 > 0:48:20Do you want me to take care of him?

0:48:20 > 0:48:23I could tell him you're helping Tiff with her dress, if you like?

0:48:23 > 0:48:24Yeah.

0:48:28 > 0:48:29What's the problem?

0:48:32 > 0:48:34Oh, come here.

0:48:34 > 0:48:36It's Lee, isn't it?

0:48:36 > 0:48:38Um, sorry, she's not feeling too good

0:48:38 > 0:48:41and she promised Tiff she'd help her with her party dress.

0:48:41 > 0:48:44That's all right, I get the message.

0:48:52 > 0:48:54It's never easy...

0:48:56 > 0:48:58- Well? - I can't pretend he wasn't upset.

0:48:58 > 0:49:01I'm going to start to feel sorry for him at this rate.

0:49:01 > 0:49:02What have I done?

0:49:05 > 0:49:06THEY CHATTER

0:49:11 > 0:49:12I don't know why I bother.

0:49:12 > 0:49:14He's in the best possible place, I suppose.

0:49:14 > 0:49:18Patrick is? So what was that earlier about MRSA?

0:49:18 > 0:49:21I love the NHS. I owe them my life.

0:49:21 > 0:49:23That's why I can't bear to see it go downhill.

0:49:23 > 0:49:26- People are living longer. - Sorry? What are you saying?

0:49:26 > 0:49:28"More's the pity"? Bad for business, is it?

0:49:28 > 0:49:30It's a victim of its own success, Mo.

0:49:31 > 0:49:35Before the NHS, Patrick would probably be dead by now.

0:49:35 > 0:49:38But as it is, he's not, he's alive. Which is good.

0:49:39 > 0:49:41But they'll always be playing catch-up.

0:49:41 > 0:49:44Why are we sitting out here? I'm cold.

0:49:44 > 0:49:46Cora wanted to smoke.

0:49:46 > 0:49:48Part of her fitness regime, no doubt.

0:49:48 > 0:49:49Where is she then?

0:49:51 > 0:49:53To Patrick, eh?

0:49:53 > 0:49:54Patrick.

0:50:02 > 0:50:04I thought you was going out.

0:50:04 > 0:50:07- So will you be going to see him at all?- Will you?

0:50:07 > 0:50:09Well, he's more your friend than he is mine.

0:50:09 > 0:50:13Yeah, yeah...but there's history.

0:50:16 > 0:50:18So what happened to the hot date?

0:50:20 > 0:50:22- Lee? - I bet you're loving this, ain't you?

0:50:22 > 0:50:23That ain't fair.

0:50:23 > 0:50:26Well, I definitely would if you was in my shoes.

0:50:26 > 0:50:29- Look, thing about Whit... - Don't, Johnny, please, mate.

0:50:29 > 0:50:32- She's had some bad luck with guys... - Like I don't know about that already.

0:50:32 > 0:50:34She's my mate and she's scared. Take it easy with her.

0:50:34 > 0:50:36Yeah, well, it's a bit late for that now, innit?

0:50:36 > 0:50:38It's too late.

0:50:38 > 0:50:40You keep saying that but he only left two minutes ago.

0:50:40 > 0:50:42- You can go after him, you know? - No, I'll look an idiot.

0:50:42 > 0:50:44I'll tell you what being an idiot is -

0:50:44 > 0:50:47letting your pride get in the way of what you really want.

0:50:47 > 0:50:50You like him, don't you? Well, don't you?

0:50:50 > 0:50:52Well, go after him!

0:50:52 > 0:50:53Or at least phone him.

0:50:53 > 0:50:56Oh, I knew I should never've let Carol talk me out of it.

0:50:56 > 0:50:57That's not what she said.

0:50:57 > 0:51:00She said, you ask for support and she give it you!

0:51:00 > 0:51:02Oh, I've had enough of this.

0:51:02 > 0:51:04B, that is my phone. What are you doing?

0:51:04 > 0:51:07- Are you busy tomorrow night? - B, seriously now.

0:51:07 > 0:51:08Well, you are now.

0:51:09 > 0:51:11- You can't do things like that! - Well, I just did.

0:51:13 > 0:51:15You've put three kisses!

0:51:15 > 0:51:16And the problem with that is?

0:51:17 > 0:51:19What do you say?

0:51:20 > 0:51:23- Thank you.- I can't hear you. Little bit louder.- Don't push it.

0:51:28 > 0:51:29What?

0:51:30 > 0:51:32I wish she'd make up her mind.

0:51:35 > 0:51:37Whitney. She wants to meet me tomorrow instead.

0:51:37 > 0:51:38HE LAUGHS

0:51:48 > 0:51:51You've been gone a long time.

0:51:51 > 0:51:54- Ian said you'd gone for a walk. - Where is he?

0:51:54 > 0:51:56He's getting us something to eat. He said you were upset.

0:51:58 > 0:52:01Anyway, I've spoken to the nurse.

0:52:02 > 0:52:05And, well, she said he's going to be confused for a while.

0:52:05 > 0:52:06It'll take time.

0:52:07 > 0:52:08Yeah, I know.

0:52:10 > 0:52:12I'm not going to be able to do this, Denise.

0:52:14 > 0:52:15Do what?

0:52:15 > 0:52:18Look after him. Ian knows my reasons.

0:52:18 > 0:52:20So who is?

0:52:20 > 0:52:23I appreciate it'll cause some financial problems.

0:52:23 > 0:52:24So I've brought you a cheque.

0:52:27 > 0:52:29Please don't look at me like that.

0:52:30 > 0:52:33Sorry, I understand you're upset,

0:52:33 > 0:52:35but you haven't thought this through.

0:52:35 > 0:52:38- Since your phone call last night, I've thought of nothing else. - But he's your dad.

0:52:38 > 0:52:41And more of one to you than he ever was to me.

0:52:41 > 0:52:44I'm sorry. I know what you're thinking.

0:52:46 > 0:52:48I'm thinking the same thing.

0:53:02 > 0:53:04Anthony!

0:53:13 > 0:53:19Hey. Sorry, Anthony had to go.

0:53:19 > 0:53:23It's, um...a medical emergency.

0:53:23 > 0:53:25One of his patients up in Scotland.

0:53:29 > 0:53:32But he's ever so sorry, you know. He'll be back soon.

0:53:32 > 0:53:38Sends his love. So, I'm going to look after you.

0:53:40 > 0:53:45Yeah. For as long as it takes. All right?

0:53:45 > 0:53:46PATRICK GROANS

0:53:51 > 0:53:56Linda, did you bring a hair dryer or do you need to use mine?

0:53:56 > 0:53:58I'm in here, Sharon.

0:53:58 > 0:54:01I'm looking for grips. Where do you keep 'em?

0:54:01 > 0:54:03What are you doing? You won't find nothing in there.

0:54:11 > 0:54:13I ain't been up this early in ages.

0:54:13 > 0:54:15I hope Tiff's going to appreciate this.

0:54:15 > 0:54:17Yeah, course she will.

0:54:17 > 0:54:18She takes me for granted, you know.

0:54:18 > 0:54:21She's turning into a right little madam.

0:54:21 > 0:54:22Remind you of someone?

0:54:22 > 0:54:24Thanks.

0:54:24 > 0:54:27Listen, Tiff knows that she's lucky to have a mum like you.

0:54:27 > 0:54:29Well, I've learnt from the best.

0:54:31 > 0:54:34I remember me and my mum making you a costume for your

0:54:34 > 0:54:38school's fancy dress. You insisted on going as a bunch of grapes.

0:54:38 > 0:54:39Oh, yeah!

0:54:39 > 0:54:42So we blew up all these green balloons and sewed them on

0:54:42 > 0:54:46to your T-shirt. By the time you got to school they'd all popped

0:54:46 > 0:54:49or deflated, so you just had a load of saggy balloons hanging off you.

0:54:49 > 0:54:51Yeah, that was the worst fancy dress costume ever.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53I had a proper tantrum.

0:54:53 > 0:54:55Oh, and you wonder where Tiff gets it from.

0:54:57 > 0:54:59It will be all right, the operation, won't it?

0:54:59 > 0:55:01Yeah, course it will.

0:55:01 > 0:55:03You know, it will be over before we know it.

0:55:38 > 0:55:41Brownies? I thought you was bringing more weed?

0:55:41 > 0:55:44- It's time we started being more subtle.- Yeah, but we won't make

0:55:44 > 0:55:46- half the profit!- If you carry on selling that much cannabis

0:55:46 > 0:55:48out of the caff, someone's going to notice.

0:55:48 > 0:55:51This is the perfect way to keep under the radar.

0:55:53 > 0:55:56Or we could put the whole thing on hold for a bit, let it cool down.

0:55:56 > 0:55:58No, no, no. We need another couple of hundred

0:55:58 > 0:56:00for the fertility treatment.

0:56:00 > 0:56:04I'm sorry you're short of cash. But I can't put the business at risk.

0:56:09 > 0:56:11I suppose they'll sell quite quickly.

0:56:12 > 0:56:14But remember to keep your eye on the ball.

0:56:14 > 0:56:17Or we'll both end up down Holloway.

0:56:17 > 0:56:20Caged up with a load of women for a few nights. Communal showers.

0:56:20 > 0:56:22Can't be that bad.

0:56:22 > 0:56:23I need...!

0:56:26 > 0:56:28I need to know you're taking this seriously.

0:56:28 > 0:56:32No! I am! I am, Babe, all right? Chill out, I've got it covered.

0:56:42 > 0:56:44You're up early.

0:56:44 > 0:56:45I ain't been to sleep.

0:56:47 > 0:56:50Your....your snoring kept me up all night.

0:56:51 > 0:56:53I'm sorry.

0:56:54 > 0:56:57Come here. Let me help you relax.

0:56:57 > 0:56:59I'm not in the mood.

0:57:01 > 0:57:04MOBILE RINGS

0:57:06 > 0:57:08Who was that?

0:57:08 > 0:57:09Just Sharon.

0:57:12 > 0:57:15You two didn't have a barney last night, did you?

0:57:17 > 0:57:20Well, whatever it is, I'll help you sort it.

0:57:22 > 0:57:24She needs help.

0:57:24 > 0:57:26What do you mean?

0:57:29 > 0:57:31She...she won't take her medication.

0:57:31 > 0:57:34I didn't know she was on any.

0:57:34 > 0:57:36It's to help her with her anxiety.

0:57:36 > 0:57:38So, why ain't she taking them?

0:57:38 > 0:57:42Apparently, she's had problems in the past, you know, with pills.

0:57:42 > 0:57:43Well, she's got Phil.

0:57:44 > 0:57:46He'll help her through it.

0:57:48 > 0:57:51Oh, what? They ain't having murders, are they?

0:57:51 > 0:57:55No, but she's lying to him. He thinks she's on the mend.

0:57:55 > 0:57:56KNOCK ON DOOR

0:57:56 > 0:57:58What?!

0:57:58 > 0:57:59Morning!

0:58:00 > 0:58:03- I take it all this is for Whitney? - Maybe.

0:58:03 > 0:58:06- A bit early, ain't it, to be tarting yourself up?- Yeah,

0:58:06 > 0:58:07she'll be off to work, won't she?

0:58:07 > 0:58:10- Yeah, but I figured she'd rather spend the day with me.- Oi!

0:58:10 > 0:58:11Go easy on that bit of squirt,

0:58:11 > 0:58:14- you'll start smelling like a real man.- Have fun!

0:58:18 > 0:58:20Well, if you're that worried about her,

0:58:20 > 0:58:23you know, I can hold the fort here, it's fine.

0:58:23 > 0:58:26She can't even leave the house. She's terrified.

0:58:28 > 0:58:29Well, just go round there, then,

0:58:29 > 0:58:32you know, sounds like she really needs a pal wrapped round her.

0:58:37 > 0:58:39It's going cold.

0:58:40 > 0:58:43I don't feel too great this morning.

0:58:43 > 0:58:46So, you looking forward to the last day of term?

0:58:46 > 0:58:48Can you take me to school today, Mum?

0:58:48 > 0:58:51Erm, no, darling. Phil's going to drop you off.

0:58:51 > 0:58:54- But all the other mums will be there.- Well...

0:58:54 > 0:58:58It's all right, mate. It's just, your mum's not feeling too good.

0:58:58 > 0:59:00She doesn't look like she's sick.

0:59:00 > 0:59:03Well, you know, sometimes you're unwell

0:59:03 > 0:59:06and you just don't show it on the outside.

0:59:13 > 0:59:15Where's my dress? We're going to be late.

0:59:15 > 0:59:18Oi! Me and your nan have been slaving over that all morning.

0:59:18 > 0:59:19Yeah, don't be so selfish.

0:59:19 > 0:59:22You're just jealous cos I get to leave primary school and you don't.

0:59:22 > 0:59:23All done.

0:59:23 > 0:59:25It's amazing!

0:59:25 > 0:59:27See. All that fuss for nothing.

0:59:27 > 0:59:30- It's beautiful.- There wasn't much in the fridge so I've had to improvise.

0:59:30 > 0:59:34- I'm sorry.- I just hope you like cheese and Monster Munch sandwiches.

0:59:34 > 0:59:35I totally forgot about their lunch.

0:59:35 > 0:59:38- You're turning into the real man of the house, you are.- Come on,

0:59:38 > 0:59:41- you ready, you lot?- Yeah, come on, get a move on now.

0:59:41 > 0:59:43Listen, have a great time at the disco.

0:59:44 > 0:59:46Don't worry, Nan, I will.

0:59:46 > 0:59:49DOORBELL

0:59:52 > 0:59:53All right?

0:59:53 > 0:59:55Go on, I'll catch you up.

0:59:55 > 0:59:57You stink!

0:59:57 > 0:59:58Give it a few years, little man,

0:59:58 > 1:00:01- you'll be smothering yourself in the stuff.- Girls are horrible!

1:00:01 > 1:00:03- Yeah, just you wait. - What are you doing here?

1:00:03 > 1:00:06- I thought we were meeting up later? - I thought you might want to

1:00:06 > 1:00:08skive off work. You've got a half day, ain't you?

1:00:08 > 1:00:10Well, work is actually important to me. And it's more important

1:00:10 > 1:00:13- than a date with you.- Well, then, meet me in the park after lunch.

1:00:13 > 1:00:15- Might have plans. - I'll make it worth your while.

1:00:21 > 1:00:23Oh, did you get a good earful, did you?

1:00:23 > 1:00:25- Bit hard on him, weren't you? - Playing hard to get, ain't I?

1:00:25 > 1:00:29- Yeah, treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen. - What, you taking relationship advice from her?

1:00:29 > 1:00:32Oi, you ain't exactly had the best track record, have you?

1:00:32 > 1:00:35Listen, if you like this boy, you should just go for it. Life's too short to play games.

1:00:37 > 1:00:38Oh, no!

1:00:38 > 1:00:39Oh, what now?

1:00:39 > 1:00:42I was meant to bring some cake in for the leavers' disco.

1:00:42 > 1:00:44Why didn't you mention something earlier?

1:00:44 > 1:00:46I told Mum but she must have forgot.

1:00:46 > 1:00:49She's proper stressed out about Nan's operation.

1:00:49 > 1:00:51Well, look, there's nothing we can do now. We're late as it is.

1:00:51 > 1:00:53But everyone else is going to bring something in!

1:00:53 > 1:00:56Today was meant to be perfect and now it's all ruined.

1:00:56 > 1:00:58Did you really fall for that?

1:00:58 > 1:01:00Right, look, you two keep walking, yeah?

1:01:00 > 1:01:01I'll catch up in a minute.

1:01:01 > 1:01:05'Hi, this is Anthony. Please leave a message after the beep.'

1:01:05 > 1:01:08Anthony this is Denise. Again.

1:01:11 > 1:01:14Look, I...I know it was...

1:01:14 > 1:01:17It's quite a shock, seeing your dad like that, but...

1:01:19 > 1:01:20I know he didn't recognise you,

1:01:20 > 1:01:22but he does really want to see you again.

1:01:25 > 1:01:30Anyway, you just, give me a call when you can.

1:01:41 > 1:01:43Give me one minute, OK?

1:01:43 > 1:01:46CHATTER

1:02:07 > 1:02:10Mum always lets me have chocolate and crisps on the last day of term.

1:02:10 > 1:02:12Oh, is that right, is it?

1:02:12 > 1:02:16Ooh, look at you doing the school run. Sharon's a lucky girl.

1:02:16 > 1:02:19Take them to the till before I change my mind.

1:02:21 > 1:02:23I don't want any aggravation, Shirley.

1:02:23 > 1:02:25I'm just having a conversation.

1:02:25 > 1:02:27Denny's a lucky boy having you taking him to school.

1:02:27 > 1:02:30Seeing that his mum's too scared to leave the house.

1:02:30 > 1:02:32Is he allowed to buy all this rubbish?

1:02:32 > 1:02:33If I want your opinion, I'll ask for it.

1:02:33 > 1:02:36You're the one that's going to have an obese child.

1:02:36 > 1:02:40- Sharon's on the mend, not that it's anything to do with you. - I'll believe that when I see it.

1:02:40 > 1:02:42The doctor's been round, gave her something for her nerves.

1:02:42 > 1:02:44She'll be out of the house in no time.

1:02:44 > 1:02:46All right, mate?

1:02:49 > 1:02:50Tiff!

1:02:52 > 1:02:56- Oh, I love brownies! - So do I. That's so unfair!

1:02:56 > 1:02:59- If I give you one, will you stop whining?- Oi, oi, no.

1:02:59 > 1:03:02Don't eat any of them until the disco. Or I'll take them back.

1:03:04 > 1:03:07Toothpaste, shampoo, baby wipes...

1:03:07 > 1:03:11Newspapers. Do you think there's anything else I'm going to need?

1:03:11 > 1:03:15- Booze. That's what I'd want if I was in hospital.- How's he doing?

1:03:15 > 1:03:18Oh, well, you know, he's been able to say a few words.

1:03:18 > 1:03:20And he was able to squeeze my hand

1:03:20 > 1:03:23- which the doctors think is a really good sign.- Well, that's great!

1:03:23 > 1:03:25Yeah, but it's going to be a long while before he recovers.

1:03:25 > 1:03:28- So we'll just have to wait and see, really.- I heard that

1:03:28 > 1:03:31his son's back in Walford. That must be a relief for him.

1:03:31 > 1:03:33- You could say that. - Don't worry about this place.

1:03:33 > 1:03:36- I've got it covered.- Let me know if there's anything you need.

1:03:36 > 1:03:38Yeah, well, Patrick's made of strong stuff, you know?

1:03:38 > 1:03:41It won't be long before he's back propping that bar up again.

1:03:45 > 1:03:46I'll be over in a minute.

1:03:46 > 1:03:49Oh, Kat. that's disgusting. you're turning into Mo.

1:03:49 > 1:03:52I woke up this morning and they was all I could think about.

1:03:52 > 1:03:55Can't you stay for a minute? Any news on Patrick?

1:03:55 > 1:03:56No, I ain't heard nothing.

1:03:56 > 1:03:59Well, at least now Anthony's back, Denise ain't on her own.

1:03:59 > 1:04:01How's your mum doing?

1:04:01 > 1:04:04She's going in for her surgery on Monday.

1:04:04 > 1:04:06I didn't realise it was so soon.

1:04:06 > 1:04:10- She'll be fine. - It's a big operation, though.

1:04:10 > 1:04:12These doctors know what they're doing.

1:04:12 > 1:04:14They've done it hundreds of times.

1:04:14 > 1:04:17I know. I just don't know what I'd do if, you know...

1:04:17 > 1:04:20She ain't going anywhere.

1:04:20 > 1:04:22Why don't you spend some time with her and I'll cover on the stall?

1:04:22 > 1:04:25- I can't. Anyway, she's working. - Make her take the day off.

1:04:25 > 1:04:27Go and get a bottle from the Minute Mart or something.

1:04:27 > 1:04:30- How would I do that? I'm skint. - I'm sure you can scrape

1:04:30 > 1:04:32something together. Where there's a will, there's a way.

1:04:37 > 1:04:39- KNOCK ON DOOR - It's only me.

1:04:43 > 1:04:44Can I come in?

1:04:45 > 1:04:47I tried to call.

1:04:47 > 1:04:50Yeah, I know, I'm sorry. We've had a lot on at the Vic.

1:04:50 > 1:04:54Well, I thought I'd... I'd scared you off.

1:04:54 > 1:04:58- Well, it's not me I'm worried about. - I'm fine.

1:04:58 > 1:04:59Really?

1:04:59 > 1:05:02Cos none of my other mates keep a gun beside their bed.

1:05:04 > 1:05:06Where did it even come from?

1:05:08 > 1:05:11I found it in the kitchen the other week.

1:05:11 > 1:05:12I think it's Ronnie's.

1:05:12 > 1:05:14Ronnie's?!

1:05:16 > 1:05:18- Does Phil know you've got it?- No.

1:05:18 > 1:05:20How many secrets have you got from each other?

1:05:20 > 1:05:22We can't all be like you and Mick.

1:05:23 > 1:05:25Have you told him about the gun?

1:05:27 > 1:05:29No. I wanted to, believe me.

1:05:29 > 1:05:32It don't feel right not telling him,

1:05:32 > 1:05:34but I don't want him mixed up in all this.

1:05:34 > 1:05:38Linda, I'd never use it. It just makes me feel safe.

1:05:40 > 1:05:43- Those men aren't coming back. - Look, it's dangerous around here.

1:05:43 > 1:05:46- Look what happened to Lucy.- Phil would never let anyone hurt you.

1:05:46 > 1:05:49Phil's been amazing. But he's...he's not around all the time.

1:05:49 > 1:05:51But if someone did break in and you pulled a gun on them,

1:05:51 > 1:05:54how can you be sure they wouldn't turn it on you?

1:05:55 > 1:05:57And what if Denny found it?

1:05:59 > 1:06:01You know I told you I lost it with him?

1:06:01 > 1:06:03Yeah.

1:06:04 > 1:06:06He tried to go through my drawers last week.

1:06:09 > 1:06:12If you really care about Denny's safety, you can't keep a gun within a mile of this house.

1:06:12 > 1:06:15You know, I put my son's life in danger because I'm...

1:06:15 > 1:06:18I'm terrified of getting beaten up again.

1:06:19 > 1:06:20I'm a terrible mum.

1:06:30 > 1:06:32You lost something?

1:06:32 > 1:06:33Er... My ring.

1:06:33 > 1:06:36What does it look like?

1:06:36 > 1:06:39Don't worry about it. It'll turn up.

1:06:39 > 1:06:41Oh, come on, that's too early, even for you.

1:06:41 > 1:06:44Kat's looking after the stall so we can spend a bit of time together.

1:06:44 > 1:06:45I can't darling, I'm working.

1:06:45 > 1:06:49It'll be fine. It's hardly heaving in here, is it?

1:06:49 > 1:06:50What about Ian?

1:06:50 > 1:06:52- I'll say you got a hospital appointment.- No, no.

1:06:52 > 1:06:55- I'm not going to lie to him. - Oh, come on, Mum. I mean,

1:06:55 > 1:06:57you can either spend the day slaving away for Ian,

1:06:57 > 1:07:00or we can hang out together and share a bottle of non-alcoholic fizz later.

1:07:00 > 1:07:03It's only the cheap stuff but I'm sure it'll taste better than it looks.

1:07:03 > 1:07:05Go on, go and have some fun.

1:07:05 > 1:07:08Come on! What did you say to Whitney about life being too short?

1:07:09 > 1:07:12- Just this once. - That's more like it!

1:07:14 > 1:07:17- Thanks, Tina. - That's all right.- See you later.

1:07:24 > 1:07:27I don't even recognise myself any more.

1:07:27 > 1:07:29You were attacked in your own bar. You know,

1:07:29 > 1:07:33if that'd happened to me, I wouldn't be acting like myself either.

1:07:33 > 1:07:36But you'd never put your kids in danger.

1:07:36 > 1:07:38I can't even take Denny to school.

1:07:39 > 1:07:43Look, you're a great mum, Sharon, you're just scared.

1:07:43 > 1:07:46- But you can't let fear take over your life.- I'm trying, Linda.

1:07:46 > 1:07:48Yeah, I know.

1:07:48 > 1:07:50And you've got me, you've got Phil,

1:07:50 > 1:07:53and Denny. We're all going to help you get you through this.

1:07:53 > 1:07:57You know, I thought I was being strong by not taking the pills.

1:07:57 > 1:08:00- I was kidding myself. - You are strong!

1:08:01 > 1:08:04And once you get rid of that gun, you'll be able to move on.

1:08:07 > 1:08:09I'll get rid of it. I will.

1:08:09 > 1:08:11Do you want me to come with you?

1:08:11 > 1:08:14No, I need to do it for myself. And Denny.

1:08:14 > 1:08:18I'll do it today, OK?

1:08:22 > 1:08:25- Shabnam?- Huh?- Hi.

1:08:25 > 1:08:28I see Denise's left you with all the fun jobs.

1:08:28 > 1:08:33Oh, yes. I love the stock take. Head office's idea of fun.

1:08:33 > 1:08:35Who would buy something this rubbish?

1:08:35 > 1:08:38It does look a bit old. Maybe it's left over from the war.

1:08:38 > 1:08:42It goes off in 2016. What do they put in this stuff?!

1:08:42 > 1:08:46You should have seen what Phil Mitchell bought Sharon's son

1:08:46 > 1:08:49for lunch. That kid is going to grow up to be fat and bald

1:08:49 > 1:08:51just like all the other blokes around here.

1:08:51 > 1:08:52It's a vicious cycle.

1:08:52 > 1:08:54What are you trying to say?

1:08:56 > 1:09:01If this was my shop, I'd get rid of all of this rubbish.

1:09:01 > 1:09:03Well, don't go getting any ideas.

1:09:03 > 1:09:06Denise has only left you in charge for two minutes.

1:09:06 > 1:09:07Er, I don't intend to be here long,

1:09:07 > 1:09:09just until something better comes along.

1:09:09 > 1:09:12All right, well, I'll leave you to it.

1:09:12 > 1:09:15Denise is very lucky to have you helping out.

1:09:15 > 1:09:18It's the least I can do. Poor Patrick.

1:09:20 > 1:09:23Yeah, he was acting really odd, the day he had that stroke.

1:09:23 > 1:09:24And?

1:09:26 > 1:09:28Maybe I should have said something.

1:09:28 > 1:09:31I mean, if I'd said something it might not have happened.

1:09:31 > 1:09:34Oh, Dad, you can't think like that. You couldn't have known.

1:09:34 > 1:09:37So, I shouldn't mention anything to Denise?

1:09:37 > 1:09:42The best thing you can do for Denise now is be there for her, yeah?

1:09:42 > 1:09:44Yeah.

1:09:49 > 1:09:51PATRICK TRIES TO SPEAK

1:09:52 > 1:09:54What do you think he's trying to say?

1:09:56 > 1:09:59I don't know, love. He's trying to sleep.

1:10:01 > 1:10:05- Look, you don't have to sit here all day. - Well, who else is going to do it?

1:10:09 > 1:10:12Well, Anthony's not going to show his face again, is he?

1:10:13 > 1:10:16- Have you tried giving him a call? - I've been leaving him messages all day!

1:10:18 > 1:10:21Anyway, it's not like he's going to just abandon his dad, is it?

1:10:23 > 1:10:25He'll be back, once he's had a bit of time to think.

1:10:27 > 1:10:29I know how important Patrick is to you.

1:10:29 > 1:10:32But you can't just drop everything, love. You've got your own life.

1:10:32 > 1:10:34You know, if you want to leave, I'm not stopping you.

1:10:34 > 1:10:37- No, I just mean if you've got stuff to do.- And what could be

1:10:37 > 1:10:39more important than being here with him?

1:10:51 > 1:10:55Drinking in the park. That's classy.

1:10:55 > 1:10:56Just while it's nice out.

1:10:56 > 1:10:59Then I was thinking we could go to Camden, have

1:10:59 > 1:11:02a nice bit of dinner by the lock, maybe go to a gig, if you fancy it?

1:11:11 > 1:11:12You should get her number.

1:11:13 > 1:11:16- I'm not interested in anyone else. - Yeah, all right.

1:11:16 > 1:11:18You must think I'm a massive player, don't you?

1:11:18 > 1:11:23Well, you did kiss me and then sleep with Lucy on the same day,

1:11:23 > 1:11:26- so, yeah, kind of.- Stuff happened between me and Lucy before me

1:11:26 > 1:11:29and you had even met. We were just picking up where we left off.

1:11:29 > 1:11:32One minute you were all over me, and then you were running round

1:11:32 > 1:11:36the corner with her. I had to find out from everyone else.

1:11:36 > 1:11:38You made me look like an idiot.

1:11:38 > 1:11:39I'm sorry.

1:11:41 > 1:11:44I really, really like you, you know that?

1:11:44 > 1:11:47You think I'd be chasing you about like a muppet all day if I didn't?

1:11:47 > 1:11:50Trust me. It would have been a lot easier to just walk away.

1:11:54 > 1:11:57If Lucy was still alive, would you be sat here with me now?

1:11:57 > 1:12:00If my brother was straight, would you be sat here with me now?

1:12:03 > 1:12:06Come on, is there any point in dwelling on the past?

1:12:06 > 1:12:08We both get on like a house on fire,

1:12:08 > 1:12:10we both fancy the pants off each other.

1:12:10 > 1:12:12Speak for yourself.

1:12:14 > 1:12:17Don't you think it'd be a shame to not at least see where this goes?

1:12:22 > 1:12:24Hey.

1:12:24 > 1:12:25I'm here.

1:12:25 > 1:12:29Oh, Patrick. Look who's come to see you.

1:12:30 > 1:12:34Hey, Patrick. How are you feeling?

1:12:34 > 1:12:37PATRICK STRUGGLES TO SPEAK

1:12:39 > 1:12:43Can I have a quick word with you outside?

1:12:43 > 1:12:44Yeah.

1:12:49 > 1:12:51There's something I want to tell you.

1:12:51 > 1:12:53Why, what's happened?

1:12:53 > 1:12:56I saw Patrick in the caff on Monday.

1:12:56 > 1:12:58And he spilt his coffee all over the place.

1:12:58 > 1:13:01- And he looked really stressed out. - Cora's been saying the same thing.

1:13:01 > 1:13:03Yeah, but I should have mentioned it but I had no idea

1:13:03 > 1:13:07- this was going to happen.- No, no, come on, it's not your fault,

1:13:07 > 1:13:10It's me. I took my eye off the ball.

1:13:10 > 1:13:12I've been so preoccupied with the wedding.

1:13:12 > 1:13:13Look, it's no-one's fault, OK?

1:13:13 > 1:13:17I mean, you can have a stroke at any age. There's nothing anyone could have done.

1:13:17 > 1:13:20I brought some food. Didn't think you'd want to cook.

1:13:20 > 1:13:23Oh, cheers, mate, that's great. Look, we can have an early dinner,

1:13:23 > 1:13:26- I'll get some wine... - I told you, I'm not leaving Patrick.

1:13:26 > 1:13:29Love, you can't be here 24/7.

1:13:29 > 1:13:31Tell her.

1:13:31 > 1:13:32Why don't I keep him company

1:13:32 > 1:13:34for a while and then you can go home and rest?

1:13:34 > 1:13:37Patrick would want you to look after yourself.

1:13:46 > 1:13:47What are you doing home?

1:13:47 > 1:13:50Thought I'd have lunch here. Keep you company for a bit.

1:13:50 > 1:13:52That's really sweet of you.

1:13:52 > 1:13:54Linda was around earlier, we had a good old chat.

1:13:54 > 1:13:56She's worn me out.

1:13:56 > 1:13:58Why don't you go and have a lie down?

1:13:58 > 1:14:00I'll pick Denny up, yeah?

1:14:05 > 1:14:07What was that for?

1:14:07 > 1:14:09Everything you've done for me and Denny.

1:14:09 > 1:14:12I love you, Phil.

1:14:12 > 1:14:13I don't tell you enough.

1:14:13 > 1:14:16Things are going to get better from now on. I promise.

1:14:27 > 1:14:29- Here you go, sir. - Those look good, Tiffany.

1:14:29 > 1:14:30Did your mum make them?

1:14:40 > 1:14:42That's not half as disgusting as I thought it'd be.

1:14:42 > 1:14:45- Have a little splash of the hard stuff.- Bianca!- Come on!

1:14:45 > 1:14:48I've not had a drink in ages - that'll go straight to my head!

1:14:48 > 1:14:50That's all right - you've finished your chemo.

1:14:50 > 1:14:52It's only one little glass - live a little! Cheers!

1:14:52 > 1:14:55And when you get over your operation I'm going to take you

1:14:55 > 1:14:57for a night out - just the two of us.

1:14:57 > 1:14:59That'll be something nice to look forward to.

1:14:59 > 1:15:03MOBILE RINGS

1:15:03 > 1:15:04Hello?

1:15:06 > 1:15:07Why, what's happened?

1:15:12 > 1:15:14OK, the joke's over.

1:15:14 > 1:15:15Was it meant to be some kind of test

1:15:15 > 1:15:17to see if I'm keeping my eye on the ball?

1:15:17 > 1:15:19What are you talking about?

1:15:20 > 1:15:25Some kid came in looking to pick up - I thought you'd put him up to it.

1:15:25 > 1:15:27- Why would I do a thing like that?! - I dunno.

1:15:27 > 1:15:29To make sure I'm playing by the rules.

1:15:29 > 1:15:32You know how much I need the cash.

1:15:32 > 1:15:34I'm sorry if I came across a bit heavy-handed earlier -

1:15:34 > 1:15:36but I do trust you.

1:15:38 > 1:15:41You're the best person for the job.

1:15:41 > 1:15:44And don't worry about the cash for the clinic.

1:15:44 > 1:15:47I'll bake you the next batch as soon as I can.

1:15:47 > 1:15:50Oh, dear.

1:15:50 > 1:15:52We can still make that gig if you fancy it.

1:15:52 > 1:15:56Or I could walk you home if you've had enough of me for one day.

1:15:56 > 1:16:00I dunno. I think I could handle you for a bit longer.

1:16:24 > 1:16:28- How you feeling? - Yeah, a lot better. Where's Denny?

1:16:28 > 1:16:33He's at the Arches with Jay - they'll be back in a bit.

1:16:33 > 1:16:35Listen, Phil, thanks for sorting everything -

1:16:35 > 1:16:37I don't know what I'd do without you.

1:16:37 > 1:16:40Well, we've got the place to ourselves.

1:16:40 > 1:16:43Yeah, well... Maybe later, eh? I could do with a lie down.

1:16:45 > 1:16:48All right, I'll put the kettle on -

1:16:48 > 1:16:51do you want one of them herbal things?

1:16:51 > 1:16:52Yeah - a peppermint tea would be nice.

1:17:06 > 1:17:08Your name seems to be missing.

1:17:08 > 1:17:11I'm sure it's just a little innocent mistake.

1:17:11 > 1:17:13You sure about this?

1:17:13 > 1:17:15Yeah, can't wait.

1:17:15 > 1:17:18Where's your little bit of fluff been all afternoon?

1:17:18 > 1:17:22Oh, I am sorry, Shirl, I do know you hate doing any actual work.

1:17:22 > 1:17:24What I'm saying is, if I took a day off whenever I felt like it

1:17:24 > 1:17:26I'd never hear the end of it from her.

1:17:26 > 1:17:28If you must know, she's gone to see Sharon.

1:17:28 > 1:17:31- I hear she's on the mend. - Who told you that? Phil?

1:17:31 > 1:17:34Well, let's just say she's not being entirely honest.

1:17:34 > 1:17:36He thinks she's tanked up on happy pills.

1:17:39 > 1:17:41I see you sorted things with Sharon, then?

1:17:41 > 1:17:45- Yeah, yeah, I think she's going to be all right.- That's good to hear.

1:17:45 > 1:17:47Do you mind helping me upstairs with my bag,

1:17:47 > 1:17:52only, erm... I really want to relax for a few minutes.

1:17:52 > 1:17:57Oh, I reckon I could manage more than a few minutes.

1:17:59 > 1:18:01Shirl, you can hold the bar, can't you?

1:18:01 > 1:18:03You two disgust me.

1:18:03 > 1:18:08THEY LAUGH

1:18:09 > 1:18:12I need to see you.

1:18:12 > 1:18:13Thank you for coming so quickly.

1:18:13 > 1:18:15What have you done now?

1:18:15 > 1:18:17Please have a seat.

1:18:17 > 1:18:20Tiffany brought some brownies for the bring and share buffet.

1:18:20 > 1:18:24- The buffet! Sorry, I forgot. - But she said you baked them.

1:18:24 > 1:18:26Yeah, I wish! Is this what this is about?

1:18:26 > 1:18:29Do you think I'm a bad mum cos I didn't make cakes for my daughter?!

1:18:29 > 1:18:31This is a very serious situation.

1:18:31 > 1:18:34Oh, well, what seems to be the problem here?

1:18:34 > 1:18:36You send a child into this school with drugs

1:18:36 > 1:18:38and you're asking if there's a problem?

1:18:43 > 1:18:45Anthony still hasn't rung back.

1:18:49 > 1:18:51He's not going to, is he?

1:18:52 > 1:18:55Some people don't do well in a crisis, do they?

1:18:56 > 1:18:59Listen, love, you can't take this all on yourself.

1:18:59 > 1:19:01I mean, being up the hospital all hours,

1:19:01 > 1:19:03it's a huge strain.

1:19:03 > 1:19:05Yeah, well, I'm all he's got.

1:19:05 > 1:19:08Yeah, but he's not your responsibility.

1:19:08 > 1:19:09Then whose responsibility is he?!

1:19:41 > 1:19:45So what if she's missed a few pills? We've kept worse from each other.

1:19:45 > 1:19:46It's not just about the pills, though.

1:19:46 > 1:19:48There must be a reason why she's lying.

1:19:48 > 1:19:50Do you think I can't see what you're doing, eh?

1:19:50 > 1:19:53You're trying to stir up trouble to make me forget the fact

1:19:53 > 1:19:55that you and your boy owe me nine grand.

1:19:55 > 1:19:58I am trying to tell you what's going on under your own roof!

1:19:58 > 1:20:00You and Sharon keep so many secrets from each other,

1:20:00 > 1:20:03- it's hardly a relationship based on trust.- So says Mother of the Year(!)

1:20:03 > 1:20:06- If you don't mind, Sharon needs me, OK?- Yeah, cos you messed her up.

1:20:06 > 1:20:08I told you! She weren't supposed to get hurt!

1:20:08 > 1:20:10You should have thought about that

1:20:10 > 1:20:13before you sent those blokes round there to smash the bar up!

1:20:13 > 1:20:16FOOTSTEPS NEARBY

1:20:27 > 1:20:31I did not bake these cakes! I mean, what do you take me for?

1:20:31 > 1:20:33- Well, then who did? - Tiffany, listen, darling.

1:20:33 > 1:20:37Look, we're not angry with you, but where did you get the brownies from?

1:20:37 > 1:20:39Come on, Tiff, tell the truth!

1:20:39 > 1:20:42She's obviously protecting someone.

1:20:42 > 1:20:44If you've been bringing illegal substances into your home...

1:20:44 > 1:20:46Excuse me, oi!

1:20:46 > 1:20:49Listen, I would not have drugs around my kids, all right?!

1:20:49 > 1:20:51- What sort of a mother do you take me for?- You're drunk.

1:20:51 > 1:20:53- No, she's not! - I'm not drunk!

1:20:53 > 1:20:57My mother's got cancer - I can have a little drink if I want,

1:20:57 > 1:20:58you stuck-up prat!

1:20:58 > 1:21:01- You've both been drinking? - Just the one!

1:21:01 > 1:21:04Anyway... Anyway... how do you know what weed smells like?

1:21:04 > 1:21:07Suppose you have a little spliff yourself, don't you, eh?

1:21:07 > 1:21:10I think Tiffany will have to stay with another family member tonight

1:21:10 > 1:21:12until we get to the bottom of this.

1:21:12 > 1:21:15You have got to be joking - she's coming home with us!

1:21:15 > 1:21:18I'm also going to have to inform social services.

1:21:23 > 1:21:25- PHIL UPSTAIRS:- Sharon?

1:21:25 > 1:21:27Just getting some water.

1:21:31 > 1:21:33Do you think it's too early to phone Max?

1:21:33 > 1:21:36- Yeah, just a bit.- Thanks. This is ridiculous, I want my kids back.

1:21:36 > 1:21:39- There was no... They didn't need to go to Max's.- It's lucky

1:21:39 > 1:21:41- that he could take them. - But it's like they've accused me

1:21:41 > 1:21:43and found me guilty all in one breath.

1:21:43 > 1:21:45Look, it's obviously a misunderstanding.

1:21:45 > 1:21:48Tiffany told them that I've made hash cakes.

1:21:48 > 1:21:50What is to misunderstand?

1:21:50 > 1:21:52Well, you didn't make them, so we'll clear it all up.

1:21:52 > 1:21:54What are you looking at?

1:21:54 > 1:21:57Nothing, no, I just had a stupid thought.

1:21:57 > 1:22:00Tell her, Whit, tell her that it'll get sorted.

1:22:00 > 1:22:01Yeah, yeah, it will.

1:22:01 > 1:22:04Sorted? I've got an 11-year-old daughter who's a drugs mule!

1:22:04 > 1:22:06- B, that's nuts.- I know! - Listen, just get a grip.

1:22:06 > 1:22:09Max'll bring her home and she'll tell us the truth.

1:22:09 > 1:22:11I mean, those brownies didn't come from this house,

1:22:11 > 1:22:13they came from somewhere else.

1:22:13 > 1:22:17Morning, mate. Do you want a bit of breakfast?

1:22:17 > 1:22:20- Where's Tiffany? - Just getting ready upstairs, I think.

1:22:20 > 1:22:23Why are we here? Are we in trouble?

1:22:23 > 1:22:26No, I'm just giving your mum a break, that's all.

1:22:27 > 1:22:29- Right, you hungry? - Can I have cake?

1:22:29 > 1:22:33- Why don't we see what we've got, yeah?- Oh, yeah!

1:22:36 > 1:22:37Right, you ready?

1:22:38 > 1:22:40Now, the thing with bacon is it spits.

1:22:40 > 1:22:42So you got to spit right back.

1:22:43 > 1:22:46Right, your mum's going to love this, ain't she?

1:22:46 > 1:22:47Now, pass me an egg.

1:22:49 > 1:22:51Look at that.

1:22:51 > 1:22:55That's skill, that is. That's two Mitchell stars right there.

1:22:55 > 1:22:59- Denny.- Mum!- We're... We're doing you breakfast in bed.

1:22:59 > 1:23:01- Come on.- No, I'm up now, darling.

1:23:01 > 1:23:03But thanks anyway.

1:23:04 > 1:23:07The flower was Denny's idea.

1:23:07 > 1:23:10All right, mate, you better get dressed. Summer Club starts today.

1:23:10 > 1:23:12- He's not going.- What?

1:23:12 > 1:23:13I've changed my mind.

1:23:13 > 1:23:16He's been going on about it for ages.

1:23:16 > 1:23:17And it's the first day today.

1:23:17 > 1:23:20- I want him here, with me. - Mum, please!

1:23:20 > 1:23:23Listen, I'll drop him off and I'll collect him, all right?

1:23:23 > 1:23:25So you don't have to worry about going outside.

1:23:25 > 1:23:29- It's not about that. - But it is, though, Sharon, isn't it, so let me handle it, all right?

1:23:29 > 1:23:32- Go on, mate, go and get changed. - Yes!- Denny...- Thanks, Phil.

1:23:36 > 1:23:39Sharon...maybe you shouldn't have ditched them pills.

1:23:39 > 1:23:41How do you know I did?

1:23:41 > 1:23:43Well, I found 'em in the bin.

1:23:43 > 1:23:45Like I said, I've been down that road before.

1:23:45 > 1:23:47You've got to tell me these things.

1:23:47 > 1:23:50You shouldn't keep any secrets, none, not from me, all right?

1:23:50 > 1:23:53I've got a delivery at the R&R, and I've got to do some

1:23:53 > 1:23:57paperwork at the Arches but I'll be back about lunchtime, all right?

1:23:59 > 1:24:02Come on, Den! Get moving!

1:24:08 > 1:24:11R-U-M. What's that stand for?

1:24:11 > 1:24:14Liver failure. You don't even drink rum.

1:24:14 > 1:24:16I know a bloke who does.

1:24:16 > 1:24:20- But not at these prices in here. - PHONE RINGS

1:24:20 > 1:24:21Sharon?

1:24:24 > 1:24:27What? Hold tight, I'm coming now.

1:24:27 > 1:24:29It's all yours.

1:24:32 > 1:24:35Forget this lot, I'll just take that bottle of rum.

1:24:39 > 1:24:45Found Patrick's credit card, so I'll get these paid.

1:24:45 > 1:24:48- Think I can do most of it online. - Yeah, you should be able to.

1:24:48 > 1:24:52Also, I've washed and ironed some of his pyjamas.

1:24:52 > 1:24:55- You taking them in today? - No, not today, I've not got time.

1:24:55 > 1:24:58- Got a visit from the area manager. - Oh, right. Well, that's good.

1:24:58 > 1:25:01Well, I mean, for you, gives you a bit of a break, doesn't it?

1:25:10 > 1:25:14Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we can do then. Yeah. August 26th.

1:25:15 > 1:25:16Brilliant!

1:25:16 > 1:25:20OK, yep, see you then. And thanks.

1:25:22 > 1:25:25Aunt Babe, you are all right with us borrowing that extra cash,

1:25:25 > 1:25:29- aren't you, for the clinic? - Course I am. Anything for our Tina.

1:25:29 > 1:25:31Aleks let me in.

1:25:31 > 1:25:33Lee, spread the word, we are celebrating later.

1:25:33 > 1:25:36Really? It's just an appointment at the moment.

1:25:36 > 1:25:39T! It's starting, we're going to be mums.

1:25:39 > 1:25:42That'll cost the kid on Mother's Day.

1:25:42 > 1:25:45Oh, I'm late. When can we start picking out names?

1:25:46 > 1:25:48I'll be working over the Vic.

1:25:48 > 1:25:51Be a good girl and pop my profits round.

1:25:52 > 1:25:55- Later, Lee.- See ya, Babe.

1:25:55 > 1:25:57So, it's all happening for you and Tosh, then.

1:25:57 > 1:25:58Erm, yeah, hopefully.

1:25:58 > 1:26:00There I was, putting two and two together.

1:26:00 > 1:26:03And guess what I got? Tiffany Butcher. Hash Brownies.

1:26:03 > 1:26:04And you. Ring a bell?

1:26:05 > 1:26:07- Tiff had 'em?- Yeah, well, I was with Whitney yesterday

1:26:07 > 1:26:11- and she said the school was all over it.- How did SHE get them?

1:26:11 > 1:26:12Babe's going to kill me.

1:26:12 > 1:26:15Yeah, and so are the Butchers, if they find out.

1:26:15 > 1:26:18Lee, I was only doing it for the money for the fertility treatment.

1:26:18 > 1:26:20You see how excited Tosh is.

1:26:21 > 1:26:23What am I going to do?

1:26:23 > 1:26:25Pray?

1:26:27 > 1:26:30SHE KNOCKS

1:26:30 > 1:26:31Sharon?

1:26:31 > 1:26:33You're helping me pack.

1:26:38 > 1:26:40- How were they? - Yeah, they were great.

1:26:40 > 1:26:43- Morgan eats everything. - Yeah, he does, he's a growing boy.

1:26:43 > 1:26:47Listen, B, I couldn't not take 'em in last night.

1:26:47 > 1:26:49Don't mean I'm not on your side.

1:26:49 > 1:26:50Bianca.

1:26:52 > 1:26:54- Obviously, we don't want everybody to know about it.- Yeah, course.

1:26:54 > 1:26:58- We'll keep you posted.- Look, if there's anything I can do. You know,

1:26:58 > 1:27:01- character reference, or... - No, I'm sure it won't come to that.

1:27:01 > 1:27:03Are you joking? The social will be all over this.

1:27:03 > 1:27:06They'll be marching in here, all guns blazing.

1:27:06 > 1:27:07Then we'll tell 'em what's what.

1:27:07 > 1:27:09But nobody knows what's what, do they?!

1:27:09 > 1:27:11You'd better start talking.

1:27:15 > 1:27:17Sharon? Sharon.

1:27:17 > 1:27:21Don't just stand there, Linda, get Denny's stuff packed.

1:27:21 > 1:27:23Talk to me.

1:27:25 > 1:27:27This is saying it all, isn't it?

1:27:28 > 1:27:31I mean, what if this was Mick?

1:27:31 > 1:27:34You know, there you are, all loved up, living the life,

1:27:34 > 1:27:37and then, wham! You've got it all wrong.

1:27:37 > 1:27:38It's a lie.

1:27:40 > 1:27:44It's worse than a lie, it's a betrayal and then you just don't know where to turn.

1:27:44 > 1:27:46Oh, sweetheart.

1:27:46 > 1:27:48You know, he put this ring on my finger.

1:27:48 > 1:27:53He promised me everything. "You name it, Sharon, it's yours."

1:27:53 > 1:27:57You know, "Move in with me, own a bar, let me be a dad to Denny."

1:27:57 > 1:28:01And I'm laughing like a schoolgirl in pigtails.

1:28:04 > 1:28:10Then I get attacked, knocked senseless, and there he is again.

1:28:12 > 1:28:15Only this time he's a carer, and a cook.

1:28:17 > 1:28:19And I can't believe that this man...

1:28:22 > 1:28:26..this lovely, lovely man has been gazing into my eyes and...

1:28:29 > 1:28:30He was behind it all.

1:28:32 > 1:28:34The attack.

1:28:34 > 1:28:36He ordered it.

1:28:37 > 1:28:40- No.- I heard him telling Shirley.

1:28:42 > 1:28:44- Shirley?- Don't tell her, all right?

1:28:44 > 1:28:48Nobody needs to know - not Mick, not nobody.

1:28:48 > 1:28:52- But Shirley?- This is all Phil, that's all that matters.

1:28:53 > 1:28:56Shame you got rid of that gun, I'd have blown his flaming brains out.

1:28:58 > 1:29:00You need to help me get away.

1:29:01 > 1:29:03Then what?

1:29:03 > 1:29:04What do you mean?

1:29:04 > 1:29:06Well, where are you going to go?

1:29:09 > 1:29:10You've got a plan, right?

1:29:13 > 1:29:14No, I haven't.

1:29:15 > 1:29:17I don't know. I don't...

1:29:21 > 1:29:23There you go.

1:29:23 > 1:29:26Sorry, Mum was yakking on the phone, I couldn't get her off.

1:29:26 > 1:29:28How is she these days?

1:29:28 > 1:29:32Oh, I'm not sure, my ear fell off after the first hour.

1:29:32 > 1:29:35It's nice to know that Zainab hasn't changed.

1:29:36 > 1:29:38Any news on Patrick?

1:29:38 > 1:29:42He's trying to say words, but I can't really make 'em out.

1:29:42 > 1:29:45Tell you what, I could do with a double bed, though.

1:29:45 > 1:29:47Catch up on a few hours' sleep.

1:29:47 > 1:29:4920 mild, please, darling.

1:29:52 > 1:29:54Do you know, if you want to pay Patrick a visit,

1:29:54 > 1:29:57I'm sure he'd be glad of the company.

1:29:57 > 1:29:59I would, but I've got to be somewhere.

1:29:59 > 1:30:02Anyway, someone'll trot along.

1:30:02 > 1:30:04I hope so.

1:30:04 > 1:30:06Can't be much fun lying there on your own.

1:30:10 > 1:30:11Tiff's agreed to speak to Liam.

1:30:11 > 1:30:14Oh, what, am I that frightening, then?

1:30:14 > 1:30:15Don't answer that, Whit.

1:30:15 > 1:30:17Look, we just need to try and keep calm.

1:30:17 > 1:30:19Anyway, that school love her.

1:30:19 > 1:30:21She's their star pupil, that's got to count for something.

1:30:21 > 1:30:24It'll be over the minute Tiff opens up.

1:30:24 > 1:30:27Look, you can't say anything to anyone, Tiff. Yeah?

1:30:27 > 1:30:30Look, you found the brownies. And if anyone asks,

1:30:30 > 1:30:32you just say you found them lying on a bench or something.

1:30:32 > 1:30:36But why do I have to lie? You took the brownies.

1:30:36 > 1:30:39Yeah, and Nan's ill, right, she's got all that hospital stuff

1:30:39 > 1:30:42coming up next week, and if people find out that they

1:30:42 > 1:30:44were from the caff, they're going to think they were hers.

1:30:51 > 1:30:53Look, some...

1:30:53 > 1:30:54some ill people...

1:30:54 > 1:30:57they take drugs to help with the pain,

1:30:57 > 1:31:00but you don't want everyone jumping all over that.

1:31:02 > 1:31:04- Obviously, you need a plan. - I need a plane ticket.

1:31:04 > 1:31:06Well, the way that I see it, you have two options.

1:31:06 > 1:31:08Option A and Option B.

1:31:08 > 1:31:12Option A, you come clean and throw yourself at the mercy of everyone.

1:31:12 > 1:31:16Tosh'll kill me, then Aunt Babe, she'll kill me some more.

1:31:16 > 1:31:18Right, in that case, it's going to have to be option B.

1:31:18 > 1:31:21- You borrow the money from the till in the caff.- What?

1:31:21 > 1:31:24Stop ringing the prices and pocket the cash. Pay it back later.

1:31:24 > 1:31:26Lee, I need 200 quid!

1:31:26 > 1:31:29Well, what's that, 100 cups of tea?

1:31:29 > 1:31:31Oh, no, I can't do that. That'd be wrong.

1:31:31 > 1:31:33But it's all right to sell drugs?

1:31:33 > 1:31:35Well, that's for a good reason, wasn't it?

1:31:35 > 1:31:37Teen, Aunt Babe wants her money back

1:31:37 > 1:31:40and Tosh thinks you've got money. They're two even better reasons.

1:31:45 > 1:31:47Bit early.

1:31:47 > 1:31:49It's for Patrick.

1:31:49 > 1:31:50I thought we could take it to him.

1:31:50 > 1:31:54You going to draw a moustache on him and all?

1:31:54 > 1:31:57He's probably grown one himself now. Well, come on.

1:31:57 > 1:31:59Lee's looked up the bus times.

1:31:59 > 1:32:02Since when have you been Patrick's best friend?

1:32:02 > 1:32:06I was laid up myself not long ago, I feel for the bloke.

1:32:06 > 1:32:09Well, enjoy the bromance(!)

1:32:09 > 1:32:11Be nicer if you came.

1:32:11 > 1:32:14I don't like hospitals.

1:32:14 > 1:32:17People our age walk in and never come out again.

1:32:17 > 1:32:19Even if you're just visiting,

1:32:19 > 1:32:22you can feel their hungry little eyes on you,

1:32:22 > 1:32:24mentally making up a bed.

1:32:28 > 1:32:32- I told you before, I can cover, it's not a problem.- I'm all right.

1:32:33 > 1:32:36You're going to worry. Then you're going to feel guilty,

1:32:36 > 1:32:38and then you're going to do my head in about it.

1:32:38 > 1:32:41- Yeah, I'm going to head off and see Patrick.- Good.

1:32:43 > 1:32:45- LINDA:- 'Why would he do this to you?'

1:32:45 > 1:32:47I mean, I don't get it.

1:32:47 > 1:32:48You think I do?

1:32:48 > 1:32:50You know, I've been drifting for years

1:32:50 > 1:32:53and finally I find something concrete,

1:32:53 > 1:32:56and Denny finds some stability, and Phil just blows it apart.

1:32:56 > 1:32:59I don't even know where we're going to go.

1:32:59 > 1:33:02I do. It's called the Vic. You and Denny can come there right now.

1:33:02 > 1:33:04I'll dump Johnny in with Nancy, and you and Denny can have

1:33:04 > 1:33:07- Johnny's room.- No, I don't know, Linda.- Well, it's just a stopgap,

1:33:07 > 1:33:09you know, till you get your head straight.

1:33:09 > 1:33:13You can't just run off and let that...evil tomato ruin everything.

1:33:13 > 1:33:16You need time to think, you know, be with people who do care about you.

1:33:16 > 1:33:17What about Mick?

1:33:17 > 1:33:21Yeah, no, don't forget Phil sold us a dodgy pub, that ain't forgotten.

1:33:21 > 1:33:23So, this ain't even an invite, it's an order.

1:33:23 > 1:33:25Sharon, are you listening?

1:33:27 > 1:33:30- Don't even think it. - He was lying right beside me.

1:33:30 > 1:33:32- Sharon...- All the plans we made.

1:33:32 > 1:33:34He's vile, so use that, all right?

1:33:34 > 1:33:37Use what he really is. Pack these bags with it.

1:33:38 > 1:33:41What about the Albert? What am I going to do about that?

1:33:41 > 1:33:43Some things you're going to have to let go of.

1:33:43 > 1:33:44Well, I won't have any money.

1:33:44 > 1:33:47I'll get you some. Somehow.

1:33:47 > 1:33:49Enough to tide you and Denny over.

1:33:49 > 1:33:50Phil's picking Denny up from Summer Club.

1:33:50 > 1:33:53I'll beat him to it. Look, come on, keep packing.

1:33:53 > 1:33:54All right!

1:33:55 > 1:33:57Sharon.

1:33:58 > 1:33:59Sharon.

1:33:59 > 1:34:01Sharon!

1:34:01 > 1:34:03Come on. Come on. You've got to get up.

1:34:03 > 1:34:05Right, you're Sharon Rickman!

1:34:08 > 1:34:09No.

1:34:12 > 1:34:13No, I'm Sharon Watts.

1:34:13 > 1:34:15Good girl.

1:34:18 > 1:34:21Oh, flaming hell, Phil's coming.

1:34:21 > 1:34:23What? He said lunchtime.

1:34:23 > 1:34:24Go and stall him!

1:34:24 > 1:34:27- Me? How?- Linda, just do it. Go! Go!

1:34:27 > 1:34:28All right.

1:34:34 > 1:34:36Phil.

1:34:36 > 1:34:38Linda. You ever not going to be there?

1:34:38 > 1:34:41Got your slippers ready, darling.

1:34:41 > 1:34:44- OUTSIDE:- 'Joking aside, I'm glad you showed up,'

1:34:44 > 1:34:47because I'm a bit worried about Sharon.

1:34:49 > 1:34:51'I think she's taken a step or two back.'

1:34:51 > 1:34:53Didn't think she should've stopped taking the pills.

1:34:53 > 1:34:56'See, now that makes sense.

1:34:56 > 1:34:58'She said she was going for a lie down. They must be connected.'

1:34:59 > 1:35:03- Reckon she should've eased off gradually, then? - I dunno, I ain't a doctor.

1:35:03 > 1:35:05Still, I can't believe what's happened.

1:35:05 > 1:35:07And who'd do something that horrible?

1:35:07 > 1:35:10- Yeah, well, it's over now, ain't it? - What if they come back?

1:35:10 > 1:35:11I just want to check on Sharon.

1:35:11 > 1:35:14Phil, wait. How about a coffee?

1:35:22 > 1:35:25Sharon! Sharon!

1:35:40 > 1:35:42MOBILE RINGS

1:35:44 > 1:35:49Jay. What? No, not now, I'm indoors.

1:35:49 > 1:35:51Hang on. Hang on a sec, mate.

1:36:06 > 1:36:09Tiff's got something she wants to tell you.

1:36:11 > 1:36:13I want the truth, Tiff. I don't want you lying to me,

1:36:13 > 1:36:16because this is serious, do you hear me?

1:36:16 > 1:36:18We just want to know where you got the brownies from, darling.

1:36:18 > 1:36:20DOORBELL RINGS

1:36:22 > 1:36:26I....uh...found them.

1:36:26 > 1:36:28You found 'em?! Is that it?

1:36:28 > 1:36:32- What have I told you about lying to me?- Mum?

1:36:33 > 1:36:36Morning. Mrs Butcher?

1:36:36 > 1:36:39Kate Hughes, Walford Children's Services.

1:36:41 > 1:36:45SHARON: Yeah, I know where it is. OK. I'll see you there.

1:36:45 > 1:36:47Oh, and the name's Mrs Watson.

1:37:22 > 1:37:25The first thing I'd like to establish is that Tiffany

1:37:25 > 1:37:28is our main priority here. She's been exposed to drugs

1:37:28 > 1:37:32and once we've made sense of this, the police will take over.

1:37:32 > 1:37:34- The police?- We need to make sure

1:37:34 > 1:37:36this doesn't happen again, Mrs Butcher.

1:37:36 > 1:37:38Course it won't!

1:37:38 > 1:37:44So, in your own time, can you tell me where you found the brownies?

1:38:00 > 1:38:04So, Tiffany, I just need you to help me

1:38:04 > 1:38:07fill in this form. See these questions here?

1:38:07 > 1:38:11So, maybe you could start by telling me what happened

1:38:11 > 1:38:13and how it happened,

1:38:13 > 1:38:16and I'll write it down, and then you can check it over.

1:38:18 > 1:38:20It's all right, in your own time.

1:38:21 > 1:38:23Come on, Tiff, just talk to the lady.

1:38:23 > 1:38:25Mrs Butcher, please.

1:38:25 > 1:38:27Come on, darling, we need to make this go away.

1:38:29 > 1:38:30- STERNLY:- Tiff.

1:38:34 > 1:38:36Oh, look, it wasn't her!

1:38:36 > 1:38:39All right, it was me. I found the brownies.

1:38:55 > 1:38:56Sharon?

1:38:58 > 1:39:01I was expecting a Mrs Watson.

1:39:01 > 1:39:05Marcus Christie. Or whatever it is you're calling yourself these days.

1:39:05 > 1:39:07You come alone?

1:39:07 > 1:39:10I haven't got long, take a seat.

1:39:12 > 1:39:16Here, breathe this in, old son. Best medicine in the world.

1:39:18 > 1:39:22Amazing how popular you get when you're out of everyone's way.

1:39:23 > 1:39:24You hearing me?

1:39:26 > 1:39:30Hey. Come on, Patrick, we want you out of here.

1:39:32 > 1:39:35Cora says you never leave these places.

1:39:35 > 1:39:38Well, that's not going to happen to you.

1:39:38 > 1:39:40Don't let them take you. You hear me?

1:39:42 > 1:39:43There's life in you yet.

1:39:48 > 1:39:50- Stan?- Hello, Denise.

1:39:50 > 1:39:52You're not leaving?

1:39:52 > 1:39:54Well, it's just a flying visit.

1:39:54 > 1:39:57Well, as flying as you can get at my age!

1:39:57 > 1:39:58Has he been saying much?

1:39:58 > 1:40:02No, not a sausage, apparently. He's been dozing all morning.

1:40:02 > 1:40:05- Anyway, now you're here. - No, stay.

1:40:05 > 1:40:08- I could do with the company. - I'd love to, but...

1:40:08 > 1:40:10it's just this place.

1:40:10 > 1:40:12I did my time in here a few months ago.

1:40:14 > 1:40:16- I'll see ya.- See ya.

1:40:25 > 1:40:27So, what happens now, then?

1:40:27 > 1:40:30Well, obviously this changes things a little.

1:40:33 > 1:40:36Liam. Where did you find those brownies?

1:40:36 > 1:40:38- On a bench.- Don't lie to me!

1:40:38 > 1:40:41- Carol?- You would have got in trouble and you don't need that,

1:40:41 > 1:40:43not with your op coming up.

1:40:43 > 1:40:46- I was trying to protect you. - For the last time.

1:40:47 > 1:40:51The caff. I got the brownies from the caff.

1:40:53 > 1:40:54How did you track me down?

1:40:54 > 1:40:56I live with Phil now.

1:40:56 > 1:40:59Let's just say I found something that made me think of you.

1:41:01 > 1:41:02Do you remember Sam Mitchell?

1:41:04 > 1:41:06I bet you remember conning her and Phil out of the Queen Vic.

1:41:06 > 1:41:09And bringing the family to its knees.

1:41:09 > 1:41:15You're on your firm's website, Marcus. Different name, same face.

1:41:15 > 1:41:17You should've had plastic surgery.

1:41:17 > 1:41:19Cos if I can find you, so can Phil.

1:41:19 > 1:41:22I've got complacent, I need to address that.

1:41:22 > 1:41:25Well, here's another trip down memory lane.

1:41:25 > 1:41:29A little wander into your corrupt, thieving past.

1:41:29 > 1:41:31- I'm straight now. - You were born crooked.

1:41:32 > 1:41:37Now, take a look at these bank statements and get back to me.

1:41:38 > 1:41:41These are Phil's. I'm not touching them.

1:41:41 > 1:41:44Well, trouble with that is I know who you are, and where you are.

1:41:44 > 1:41:45That a threat?

1:41:45 > 1:41:47Most definitely.

1:41:54 > 1:41:57So, not a lot been going on really.

1:41:58 > 1:41:59Ooh...

1:42:00 > 1:42:03..had a stock take at the Minute Mart.

1:42:04 > 1:42:06Glad I missed out on that.

1:42:09 > 1:42:14Patrick! They're not going to let you keep that in here.

1:42:17 > 1:42:20I'll tell you what. I'll keep it for when you get out.

1:42:29 > 1:42:33- Ian. Is Tina around?- No, called in sick. Not that I believe her.

1:42:33 > 1:42:36- She's not at home. - That says it all, doesn't it?

1:42:36 > 1:42:37- Who's the tea for?- Stan.

1:42:39 > 1:42:40There you go, Stan. Cuppa.

1:42:40 > 1:42:43- You've got yourself a good 'un. - I have?

1:42:43 > 1:42:47That Denise of yours, been sitting with Patrick day after day.

1:42:47 > 1:42:50- I'd have sat with her only... - Is she at the hospital right now?

1:42:50 > 1:42:53- Yep.- You'll have to cope on your own.

1:42:55 > 1:42:58You got to be winding me up, ain't ya? Lee!

1:42:58 > 1:43:01Oh, Mick, Mick, Mick. I got to be back at work in a minute.

1:43:01 > 1:43:04- I'll have hers. - At least inhale the bubbles.

1:43:04 > 1:43:08Was thinking, Babe's a nice name.

1:43:08 > 1:43:09A babe called Babe?

1:43:09 > 1:43:11It's a thought, dear.

1:43:11 > 1:43:13Look happy, you'll give the game away.

1:43:13 > 1:43:17Teen, I ain't stopped talking about this all morning.

1:43:17 > 1:43:18I should be off.

1:43:20 > 1:43:22Got that woman to meet in Maldon,

1:43:22 > 1:43:24finalise the deal on Lady Di's last pup.

1:43:24 > 1:43:27You're all across the baby scene, aren't ya?

1:43:27 > 1:43:30Must remember to bring that 200 round.

1:43:32 > 1:43:34Now, that, my friends, is a beautiful drop of Cava.

1:43:40 > 1:43:42Ian.

1:43:42 > 1:43:43Has he, erm....

1:43:43 > 1:43:45has he woken up?

1:43:45 > 1:43:47- No.- Oh, right.

1:43:47 > 1:43:50I thought, cos you were here, they must have called you.

1:43:50 > 1:43:53No, he's just been snoozing, bless him.

1:43:54 > 1:43:56Good.

1:43:56 > 1:43:58Well, not good, you know what I mean.

1:44:03 > 1:44:04Patrick?

1:44:12 > 1:44:16- Hi, Carol.- Hi, Tracey. Have you seen Tina anywhere?- Sorry, no.

1:44:17 > 1:44:19How do we play this?

1:44:23 > 1:44:24Phil.

1:44:25 > 1:44:28- What's all this? - What do you mean?

1:44:28 > 1:44:31Well, you've been out. How come?

1:44:31 > 1:44:34Linda, she said you was in a state earlier.

1:44:34 > 1:44:37Yeah, yeah, I was.

1:44:37 > 1:44:41No, it's good. I'm proud of you. Shows I've got myself a tough bird, don't it?

1:44:41 > 1:44:43Charming.

1:44:43 > 1:44:46And a good-looking one an' all. Come here.

1:44:46 > 1:44:48Come on.

1:44:48 > 1:44:49Come here.

1:44:52 > 1:44:54So, where did you go?

1:45:00 > 1:45:02Later, yeah.

1:45:08 > 1:45:09It could be a boy.

1:45:09 > 1:45:11Now, I was thinking Michael is a very good, solid name.

1:45:11 > 1:45:15In fact, it could be a tribute to a very fine and upstanding gent,

1:45:15 > 1:45:18not mentioning anyone in particular, of course...

1:45:18 > 1:45:20- CAROL:- Where's Tina?

1:45:20 > 1:45:22Know about this, did you?

1:45:22 > 1:45:24- Know about what? - Never mind about him.

1:45:24 > 1:45:26- It was you, wasn't it?- Sorry?

1:45:26 > 1:45:28Don't make things worse for yourself, Tina.

1:45:28 > 1:45:30To think I gave you the benefit of the doubt. How stupid was I?

1:45:30 > 1:45:33Excuse me, we're having a bit of a celebration here.

1:45:33 > 1:45:36- All right, Mick, you carry on. It's Tina I want to talk to. - What do you want?

1:45:36 > 1:45:38Don't you dare look at me like that!

1:45:38 > 1:45:40- Get off me, Lee!- Get off!

1:45:40 > 1:45:42Tina, what is she talking about?

1:45:42 > 1:45:45Go on! Tell them about the brownies, Tina.

1:45:45 > 1:45:48- We've had the social climbing all over us. - For cakes? Bit strong, ain't it?

1:45:48 > 1:45:51- They were hash cakes.- Yeah, Liam took 'em from the caff

1:45:51 > 1:45:52and Tiff ended up taking 'em to school.

1:45:52 > 1:45:55- Tina, what have you been doing? - Don't listen to 'em, Tosh.

1:45:55 > 1:45:57- You knew about this.- I didn't.

1:45:57 > 1:45:59I'm just saying, they could have been anyone's.

1:45:59 > 1:46:01Hold up a minute, you got any proof of this?

1:46:01 > 1:46:03Proof? Proof? Look at her face. You don't need any proof.

1:46:03 > 1:46:06Look, right. She was only doing it for the baby treatments.

1:46:06 > 1:46:08She really needed the cash.

1:46:08 > 1:46:12I was just doing it for the money, but we was desperate, Mick.

1:46:14 > 1:46:17- I mean, Tiff'll just get lines... - Are you laughing?- No.

1:46:17 > 1:46:21- Hey!- Get off of me! Right, you expect a call from the police.

1:46:23 > 1:46:24Come on, Whit.

1:46:26 > 1:46:28- Whit. Whit, wait. - Get lost, Lee, all right?

1:46:28 > 1:46:30And that goes for the rest of your scumbag family.

1:46:33 > 1:46:37It was for us, yeah? I was doing it for us.

1:46:39 > 1:46:41Ask me how Patrick was.

1:46:41 > 1:46:44Flirting with the nurses, while they're washing his bits.

1:46:44 > 1:46:46I wish.

1:46:47 > 1:46:50I get it, Cora. I really do.

1:46:51 > 1:46:52Why you can't visit.

1:46:54 > 1:46:57It's not just the hospitals, Stan. It's the people in 'em.

1:46:57 > 1:46:59The patients.

1:47:00 > 1:47:04With their pale faces and their wheezy breaths.

1:47:04 > 1:47:09Everywhere you turn, there's the smell of illness. It clings to you.

1:47:09 > 1:47:12It goes home with you. And you can't wash it off.

1:47:13 > 1:47:15My husband had cancer, Stan.

1:47:17 > 1:47:20I went back and forth to the hospital with him.

1:47:22 > 1:47:27He was a proud man, a fighter, but every time,

1:47:27 > 1:47:30after he'd come out of a treatment,

1:47:30 > 1:47:32he lost a little bit of fight.

1:47:32 > 1:47:34I'd take him home,

1:47:34 > 1:47:36I'd make him comfortable,

1:47:36 > 1:47:38and tell him to keep going.

1:47:39 > 1:47:42Some days he said yes. Some days he said no.

1:47:44 > 1:47:46And we'd cry.

1:47:47 > 1:47:49And we'd row.

1:47:49 > 1:47:51And we even prayed.

1:47:51 > 1:47:56And then we'd go back, and little by little

1:47:56 > 1:47:58he was wilting.

1:47:58 > 1:48:04And I...I didn't realise it, but I was fading with him.

1:48:05 > 1:48:07And then...

1:48:11 > 1:48:13I gave up.

1:48:13 > 1:48:15I turned my back on him.

1:48:17 > 1:48:19Not that it was him any more.

1:48:21 > 1:48:22I couldn't be with him.

1:48:24 > 1:48:28I couldn't stand to be with him.

1:48:28 > 1:48:31And you have my total sympathy.

1:48:32 > 1:48:35And this is me leaving.

1:48:43 > 1:48:45I'm really sorry, Mick.

1:48:47 > 1:48:49You've always been an airhead.

1:48:49 > 1:48:52A bit dozy, but quite sweet with it.

1:48:52 > 1:48:54Well, you've surpassed yourself.

1:48:56 > 1:49:02Right now, I would book you as one of the doziest mares of all time.

1:49:02 > 1:49:04But I love you.

1:49:04 > 1:49:06So come here.

1:49:09 > 1:49:10Sh.

1:49:12 > 1:49:14PHONE NOTIFICATION

1:49:23 > 1:49:25Got him. You packed and ready?

1:49:25 > 1:49:27Darling, can you give us a minute, yeah?

1:49:29 > 1:49:33I ain't going nowhere, Linda. This is my home, my manor.

1:49:33 > 1:49:34And I'm staying put.

1:49:34 > 1:49:36- But Phil...- Is about to go broke.

1:49:36 > 1:49:39Because I'm going to take him for everything.
