DOOR BANGS

0:00:320:00:34

ALFIE SIGHS Well?

0:00:360:00:38

I've been charged with perjury.

0:00:390:00:42

Got to go back to court in a few weeks.

0:00:420:00:43

Don't worry.

0:00:470:00:48

Duty solicitor reckons I'll just get a slap on the wrist, no more.

0:00:480:00:51

Unless you get a tough judge.

0:00:510:00:53

Then, Kat, you're going to be looking at a prison sentence.

0:00:530:00:56

The important thing is that we're all together. And guess what?

0:00:560:00:59

Janine's solicitor told me that she's dropped the charges.

0:00:590:01:01

You're in the clear.

0:01:010:01:03

That's brilliant!

0:01:030:01:04

-So it was worth it in the end.

-Yeah.

0:01:050:01:09

Listen, I'm going to get changed for work.

0:01:090:01:12

Bit early to open the van.

0:01:120:01:14

Yeah. There's just a lot I've got to sort out.

0:01:140:01:17

He'll get over it, you know Alfie.

0:01:200:01:22

So, what now?

0:01:220:01:24

You going back to your mum's?

0:01:240:01:26

No. She's staying here with us.

0:01:260:01:28

Aren't you?

0:01:280:01:30

I hadn't really thought about it.

0:01:300:01:32

I know Mum'd love to spend time with Lily.

0:01:320:01:35

She's been on the blower enough times.

0:01:350:01:36

Hold on - Jean is just a train ride away,

0:01:360:01:39

and it's not as if she's on her own. She's doing great with Ollie.

0:01:390:01:42

There's no reason why you can't pick up where you left off.

0:01:420:01:45

Everyone'll know that Janine lied about you stabbing her.

0:01:450:01:47

You've done nothing wrong.

0:01:470:01:49

There's so much here for you, Stace.

0:01:500:01:53

A cousin for Lily to grow up with.

0:01:530:01:55

Two more on the way. You got your job on the stall.

0:01:550:01:58

This is where you belong.

0:01:590:02:01

Look, Janine's got her happy ending - now it's your turn, yeah?

0:02:010:02:05

Morning, Mrs B. Sleep well?

0:02:070:02:09

Ugh, hardly slept a wink.

0:02:090:02:12

I think I've got one of my migraines coming on.

0:02:120:02:16

DOORBELL RINGS

0:02:160:02:17

Who's that?

0:02:170:02:19

Don't worry about it. I'll get it, all right?

0:02:190:02:22

What are you doing here so early?

0:02:370:02:39

Don't need a reason to visit, do I?

0:02:390:02:41

No, I suppose not. Ooh, I'll get you some breakfast.

0:02:410:02:44

How about I get you some breakfast? You're the one needs looking after.

0:02:440:02:47

No, I'm all right with this, thank you very much.

0:02:470:02:49

So listen, Mrs B, why don't I take the day off work

0:02:490:02:53

and come with you to see the vicar?

0:02:530:02:55

You know, to help sort out the funeral arrangements.

0:02:550:02:59

I think... I think I'll put it off till tomorrow.

0:02:590:03:03

Cos I've got a lot of housework to catch up on.

0:03:030:03:07

You know, we can help with that.

0:03:070:03:10

No. There is no need.

0:03:100:03:12

All right. OK.

0:03:140:03:15

She was like this all day yesterday.

0:03:230:03:25

There's not many people around here falling over themselves

0:03:250:03:28

to, you know, offer condolences.

0:03:280:03:30

I think it's really getting to her.

0:03:300:03:32

If you don't eat that, I will.

0:03:370:03:39

What is wrong with you today?

0:03:420:03:44

You been having that nightmare again?

0:03:440:03:46

What nightmare?

0:03:460:03:48

Tam keeps dreaming he's being attacked by a refuse truck.

0:03:480:03:51

I had that dream once.

0:03:510:03:53

Once, OK?! And it was a big truck, with proper teeth.

0:03:530:03:57

I'm going.

0:03:570:03:58

Listen, watch out for those street sweepers. They're like ninjas!

0:03:580:04:02

You know, a little bit of sensitivity wouldn't go amiss.

0:04:020:04:04

He's still raw about Alice.

0:04:040:04:06

Why? She got off.

0:04:060:04:07

Yeah, but she should never have been on trial in the first place.

0:04:070:04:10

Er, she did stab a bloke, after plotting to kill his wife, so...

0:04:100:04:14

Yeah, but she's a nice girl.

0:04:140:04:17

He wouldn't have gone out with her otherwise.

0:04:170:04:19

They weren't even together any more.

0:04:190:04:21

Yeah, but all the same,

0:04:210:04:22

we should try and find a way to cheer him up.

0:04:220:04:25

Fine. Fine. I'll do aloo gobi for lunch.

0:04:250:04:30

Might take a bit more than that.

0:04:300:04:32

He loves my aloo gobi.

0:04:320:04:34

OK.

0:04:340:04:35

Ready?

0:04:460:04:47

I don't think this is a very good idea.

0:04:470:04:49

Come on, it'll be all right.

0:04:490:04:50

Hello, Stacey!

0:04:530:04:54

I haven't seen you for a couple of years. How've you been?

0:04:540:04:57

Yeah, good. Are you living round here now?

0:04:570:04:59

Yeah. Can't keep away.

0:04:590:05:00

-See you.

-See you later.

0:05:000:05:02

See, I told you people would be fine.

0:05:020:05:04

-What brought her back here?

-Phil Mitchell.

0:05:040:05:07

Then it was Jack, for a while.

0:05:070:05:08

Then he dumped her and it was Phil again.

0:05:080:05:10

Now they're opening a bar together

0:05:100:05:12

and rumour has it it's going to be called The Last Chance Saloon!

0:05:120:05:15

THEY LAUGH

0:05:150:05:16

So she's sticking round, then?

0:05:200:05:21

Yeah, you know, Kat wants her to stay.

0:05:210:05:23

Listen, I'm really glad that Stacey's in the clear, course I am,

0:05:230:05:26

but it's not done my marriage any favours.

0:05:260:05:28

You can hardly judge Kat for telling porkies, can you?

0:05:280:05:31

I'm taking it she still don't know about the van?

0:05:310:05:34

No, I'm going to need to 'fess up.

0:05:340:05:35

At least then I stand a chance of keeping my wedding tackle,

0:05:350:05:38

-you know what I'm saying?

-Nah, you sop, you keep it quiet!

0:05:380:05:41

Look, that Nicole bird, she's long gone, right?

0:05:410:05:43

So Kat ain't going to find out anything from her, is she?

0:05:430:05:46

Just give it a few days, you'll find another van -

0:05:460:05:49

you'll find a better van.

0:05:490:05:51

Come on - you're Alfie Moon. You'll come up with something.

0:05:510:05:56

Yeah.

0:05:560:05:57

Yeah, you're right.

0:05:570:05:59

Is that all you have?

0:06:010:06:02

Yeah.

0:06:020:06:04

Just as well you're in the box room.

0:06:040:06:05

Hang on - I thought we agreed I was taking the double.

0:06:050:06:08

That was before you offered to pay only half the deposit.

0:06:080:06:11

Do you want the room or not?

0:06:130:06:15

-Yeah.

-Good.

0:06:150:06:18

What's the matter with you?

0:06:180:06:20

What, you got a death wish, have you? Coming back round here.

0:06:200:06:22

I'm just looking to bed down somewhere,

0:06:220:06:24

get a job and rebuild my life.

0:06:240:06:26

I've got no intentions of going near Lauren.

0:06:260:06:28

THUNDER ROLLS

0:06:280:06:30

What did you say to him?

0:06:370:06:39

Oh, what, you knew he was back, did you?

0:06:390:06:41

There's nothing going on, and nothing's going to.

0:06:410:06:43

-I've moved on.

-Yeah, well, that's what you think, Lauren,

0:06:430:06:46

but some people get in your head and they stay there.

0:06:460:06:48

That's the boss.

0:06:560:06:57

He's better looking than Lister but he's a real slimeball.

0:06:570:07:00

Steer well clear.

0:07:000:07:01

It's too soon for all that, anyway.

0:07:010:07:03

It's never too soon!

0:07:030:07:04

Tamwar's still single.

0:07:060:07:08

You're funny.

0:07:080:07:10

Your stall's out of its allocated zone.

0:07:120:07:14

What?

0:07:140:07:15

Yeah. It should be two inches to the left.

0:07:150:07:17

So move it, otherwise you'll face a fine.

0:07:170:07:19

-Are you serious?

-Yes, cos those are the rules.

0:07:190:07:21

I know rules don't mean much to you - I heard what happened in court -

0:07:210:07:24

but... move it, please. Now.

0:07:240:07:28

-BIANCA:

-Well, I was hoping they might have kept you locked up!

0:07:280:07:32

Look, I'm sorry, B.

0:07:320:07:33

-I know how you must feel...

-You reckon?

0:07:330:07:35

My mum was right about you, Kat - you are a selfish, lying little cow.

0:07:350:07:39

And you come back here like nothing's happened?

0:07:390:07:41

Well, I hope she was worth it.

0:07:410:07:43

I just want to put this right.

0:07:430:07:44

I'm sorting out a rota for the stall.

0:07:440:07:46

You know what? I can't even look at you.

0:07:460:07:47

Where'd you go?

0:07:560:07:57

Oh, don't worry about her.

0:07:580:08:01

She's taking it pretty well!

0:08:010:08:02

-Kat...

-Anyway, who needs her? I've got you now.

0:08:020:08:05

It's just a bit of website design -

0:08:090:08:11

how can you justify charging that much?

0:08:110:08:12

No, it's fine, forget it - I'll find someone else.

0:08:160:08:18

I'm sorry for earwigging -

0:08:230:08:25

I know quite a lot about web design. I used to do all Sadie's stuff.

0:08:250:08:29

-Maybe I could help?

-No, thanks.

0:08:290:08:32

Whatever those big companies are charging, I'd do it for half that.

0:08:320:08:36

Come on, what have you got to lose?

0:08:360:08:38

Besides, I could really do with the money.

0:08:380:08:41

I lost my job yesterday.

0:08:410:08:43

Can I get two teas, please?

0:08:450:08:47

Hello again.

0:08:470:08:48

Look, I don't want any trouble.

0:08:490:08:51

I found out from Billy about Janine dropping the charges.

0:08:510:08:55

So whilst everyone round here thinks you're Little Miss Innocent,

0:08:550:08:58

we both know different, don't we?

0:08:580:09:00

And that's never going to change.

0:09:000:09:02

Roxy?

0:09:020:09:04

-What happened?

-Nothing.

0:09:090:09:10

Don't pay any attention to her, all right?

0:09:100:09:12

Her bark is a lot worse than her bite.

0:09:120:09:15

So, you back here for good?

0:09:150:09:16

Well, that's the plan.

0:09:160:09:18

Bad idea, innit?

0:09:180:09:20

No. You've paid your dues, we both know that.

0:09:200:09:24

PHONE RINGS

0:09:270:09:28

Hey.

0:09:360:09:37

Who's he?

0:09:390:09:41

I thought it might be easier for you to sort the funeral

0:09:410:09:43

if the vicar came here.

0:09:430:09:45

But I don't know him!

0:09:450:09:46

He ain't my vicar. My vicar is the Mr Reverend Stevens.

0:09:460:09:50

-I'm Tim....

-Tim who?

0:09:500:09:53

-Stevens.

-Oh.

-I'm a reader from a nearby church.

0:09:530:09:56

Mr Stevens sends his apologies

0:09:560:09:58

but he's had to go away for a couple of weeks.

0:09:580:10:00

Church business. I'm covering for him.

0:10:000:10:02

I'm also his nephew, so you'll still have the family connection,

0:10:030:10:06

if that helps.

0:10:060:10:08

Oh.

0:10:080:10:09

Well, you'd better go through.

0:10:090:10:12

A meal's fine, but what Tam really needs

0:10:140:10:16

is something to remind him there's more to life

0:10:160:10:18

than the daily drudge of market inspecting.

0:10:180:10:20

Easier said than done.

0:10:200:10:22

I didn't think she'd ever come back.

0:10:260:10:28

That's where her husband died over there, running from the law.

0:10:280:10:33

Murdered my uncle.

0:10:330:10:35

I'd have never thought that of Bradley,

0:10:350:10:37

he always seemed like a nice bloke. Quiet.

0:10:370:10:39

Yeah, well, you know what they say - still waters run deep.

0:10:390:10:43

Why aren't you on the van with Alfie?

0:10:460:10:48

Cos he's given him the morning off, ain't he?

0:10:480:10:50

He's had to take the van over to Canning Town

0:10:500:10:52

for a whatsit - service.

0:10:520:10:54

Like what he said.

0:10:540:10:56

-Anyway, I've gotta be somewhere, so I'll see you...

-Yeah.

0:10:560:11:00

I've got to be somewhere as well.

0:11:000:11:01

All right, Jenny?

0:11:070:11:09

You pushed off a bit lively the other week.

0:11:090:11:11

Something I said?

0:11:110:11:12

You took your time. Teas'll be cold by now.

0:11:210:11:23

Yeah, sorry. I was just catching up with a few people.

0:11:230:11:25

Bet it's like you've never been away.

0:11:250:11:27

Yeah. Do you mind if I go home and check on Lily?

0:11:270:11:30

-Course not. Give Tommy a kiss from me.

-All right.

0:11:300:11:33

Stace!

0:11:500:11:51

Stace, can we talk, please?

0:11:510:11:54

Please.

0:11:540:11:57

You can't avoid me for ever, can you?

0:11:570:11:58

I can't hide all day, can I?

0:12:000:12:01

I'm supposed to be meeting some geezer about a van in a bit.

0:12:010:12:04

Yeah, but after what I said, if she sees you she might get suss.

0:12:040:12:06

Too late!

0:12:060:12:07

We've actually seen a big increase in people choosing popular music

0:12:130:12:16

rather than hymns for the end of the service.

0:12:160:12:19

It can add a very personal touch

0:12:190:12:20

when relatives pick a favourite song of the deceased.

0:12:200:12:23

What, Jailhouse Rock?

0:12:230:12:25

I mean, he may just be a name on a list to you, but he was my son

0:12:250:12:28

and I'd like a proper funeral, not a disco.

0:12:280:12:31

I'm sure Mr Stevens didn't mean anything.

0:12:310:12:33

Mrs Branning, I assure you,

0:12:330:12:34

both you and your son are far more than names on a parish register.

0:12:340:12:38

Yes, and I'm sorry if I snapped.

0:12:380:12:41

To be quite honest with you, I ain't seen my Nick for the last few years.

0:12:410:12:45

Not since he brought his daughter Dotty to meet me.

0:12:450:12:50

And I wouldn't have the faintest idea what his favourite song is.

0:12:500:12:55

Maybe you could choose something he liked as a child.

0:12:550:12:58

Something you used to sing to him, perhaps?

0:12:580:13:01

I only used to sing him lullabies.

0:13:010:13:04

Mind you, there was one song that he liked.

0:13:040:13:08

Sleepy Joe.

0:13:080:13:09

He used to make me sing it to him over and over again.

0:13:090:13:13

But I can't remember it now.

0:13:140:13:15

It's funny isn't it, those moments, they're so precious,

0:13:170:13:21

and you don't realise it till they're gone.

0:13:210:13:24

Your uncle, he must be very pleased to have you near.

0:13:270:13:30

Oh, we weren't always that way.

0:13:300:13:32

I went through my rebellious years like anyone else.

0:13:320:13:35

Took a while to find the right path and reconnect.

0:13:350:13:39

I wish that'd been the case with my Nick.

0:13:390:13:41

But it's too late now.

0:13:420:13:44

Lauren's out, we've got the place to ourselves.

0:13:500:13:52

So, why'd you leave the hotel like that?

0:13:560:13:58

You know why.

0:13:580:14:00

Well, no, cos I thought we wanted the same thing.

0:14:000:14:02

No, you thought you'd take advantage when of me when I was at my lowest.

0:14:020:14:05

It weren't like that, I just liked being alone with you.

0:14:050:14:07

I just wanted it to last a bit longer.

0:14:070:14:09

I thought you did as well.

0:14:090:14:10

Stace, it's still there, what we had all those years ago.

0:14:120:14:14

-No, it isn't.

-Right, so why did you agree to come back here?

0:14:140:14:17

To tell you to stay away.

0:14:170:14:18

Well, if that's what you want, why are you back in Walford?

0:14:180:14:20

Not everything is about you, Max!

0:14:200:14:23

I've come back for my family.

0:14:230:14:25

And this connection that you think we've got - it's Bradley,

0:14:250:14:28

-nothing else.

-No, it ain't.

0:14:280:14:29

It ain't, Stace.

0:14:310:14:32

-For me, eh?

-Don't.

0:14:350:14:38

We need to draw a line under me and you, for good.

0:14:380:14:41

-Right, and that's what you really want?

-Yeah.

0:14:410:14:44

And it should be what you want, too.

0:14:440:14:46

Look at how much we've lost, Max.

0:14:460:14:48

Stace, all right? We ain't over.

0:14:480:14:50

We ain't ever going to be over.

0:14:510:14:53

Some people get into your head and stay there, right, Dad?

0:15:060:15:09

Then she turned up declaring her undying love for me.

0:15:320:15:35

Well, the girl's only human. The thing is, Kat,

0:15:350:15:37

I played along cos I thought it was

0:15:370:15:39

the easiest thing to do. But I swear, there was no funny business,

0:15:390:15:41

my hands were firmly on my head.

0:15:410:15:44

She didn't like being rejected cos she thought, you know...

0:15:440:15:47

we had something.

0:15:470:15:49

Anyway, to cut a long story short, SHE took the van, OK?

0:15:490:15:53

Stitched me up like a kipper. So I'm the victim here.

0:15:530:15:55

And that's the truth, the whole truth,

0:15:570:16:00

and nothing but the truth, so help me, Kat.

0:16:000:16:04

SHE LAUGHS

0:16:050:16:07

Why are you laughing? I thought you'd be angry.

0:16:120:16:14

What, because some desperate Aussie bird kicked you into touch?

0:16:140:16:17

-Do me a favour!

-Excuse me, cos someone fancies me,

0:16:170:16:20

-what, you think they're desperate?

-You said it.

0:16:200:16:22

Look, you scammed someone, it came back and bit you on the knackers!

0:16:220:16:25

If that's the worst secret you've kept from me

0:16:250:16:27

since we've been back together, I think I can cope with that.

0:16:270:16:30

-You - you are one in a million.

-I know.

0:16:360:16:39

Oh, you do, do you?

0:16:390:16:41

Listen, I'm sorry I got angry about the whole Stacey thing,

0:16:420:16:45

it's just, you know, I was worried, about you and our babies.

0:16:450:16:48

I know. But we have to be honest with each other.

0:16:480:16:51

I mean, look what happened to Janine and Michael in the end.

0:16:510:16:54

Do you really want to end up like that?

0:16:540:16:56

OK, here's the deal, all right? Let's call it quits.

0:16:560:16:59

From now on we both stay out of trouble, yeah?

0:16:590:17:02

-Sounds good to me.

-OK, good. You want a bacon sarnie?

0:17:020:17:05

-Go on, then.

-OK, then.

0:17:050:17:06

I'll leave you to it.

0:17:060:17:07

-He seems nice.

-Well, we'll see. He's Nick's son.

0:17:090:17:14

I'm so sorry about what happened, Dot. I had no idea.

0:17:140:17:18

Well, I expected it, you know, the life he led.

0:17:180:17:23

But you don't think they'll go before you, not your children.

0:17:250:17:28

It don't seem real, Stacey.

0:17:300:17:32

Right or wrong, you loved him no matter what he did, didn't you?

0:17:320:17:35

Yeah, course I did.

0:17:350:17:37

I mean, he was me own flesh and blood, you forgive 'em anything.

0:17:370:17:42

But people round here, they're just glad to see the back of him.

0:17:420:17:46

Cos you do something wrong, and that's what they remember.

0:17:460:17:49

-Like with Bradley?

-Oh, no, no, no. Not Bradley.

0:17:510:17:56

He hadn't got a nasty bone in his body.

0:17:560:17:59

Now all people talk about is how he killed someone.

0:17:590:18:01

But we know the truth.

0:18:010:18:03

-Yeah, we know.

-Well, ain't that enough?

0:18:050:18:08

No more than I deserve, right?

0:18:200:18:21

Don't worry, I feel the same.

0:18:230:18:24

But it's given me new aspirations in life.

0:18:250:18:29

This week - a single bedsit. Next week - who knows?

0:18:290:18:32

Might be able to persuade Aleks to give me a chair for the corner.

0:18:320:18:35

-Or a desk.

-Whoa-ho, steady on!

0:18:350:18:37

Right, there you go.

0:18:390:18:41

It's perfect.

0:18:480:18:49

Oi, cheeky, don't sound so surprised!

0:18:490:18:51

I'll spend a few hours finessing it,

0:18:520:18:54

and I can have it finished by tonight.

0:18:540:18:57

-You can pay me then.

-OK, great.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Cool.

0:18:570:19:00

Think I can find my own way out.

0:19:020:19:05

Yeah. Yeah, course.

0:19:050:19:07

-Bye.

-See you.

0:19:080:19:10

HE WHISTLES

0:19:160:19:17

-I'm impressed.

-Strictly business, mate.

0:19:180:19:20

Business can become pleasure.

0:19:210:19:23

The last thing I need right now is romance, trust me.

0:19:230:19:25

-Did Kat send you?

-No, she don't even know I'm here.

0:19:350:19:38

Please give her another chance.

0:19:380:19:40

-Alice could've gone down for murder!

-I know, but she didn't.

0:19:400:19:43

-She'll be OK.

-Kat looked me in the eye

0:19:440:19:46

and swore she saw her do it, Stacey.

0:19:460:19:48

I stuck up for her, I defended her to my own mother -

0:19:500:19:53

-she's made me look like a mug!

-Janine caused all this, not Kat.

0:19:530:19:57

She was just desperate to help her family.

0:19:570:19:58

Why else would she lie under oath,

0:19:580:20:00

and hurt the people that she cares about?

0:20:000:20:03

I know, in this situation, you would do the same.

0:20:030:20:05

Bianca, you're the closest thing that Kat's got

0:20:060:20:08

to a sister on this square.

0:20:080:20:11

Except you.

0:20:110:20:13

Yeah, but...she needs her best mate too, more than she realises.

0:20:130:20:18

Please just think about it.

0:20:200:20:21

You don't have to go to all this effort.

0:20:330:20:35

Anything to put a smile on my little bro's face.

0:20:350:20:38

Tam. Tam, guess what I've got?

0:20:380:20:41

A key, it seems.

0:20:410:20:43

-Four tickets to the West End's best comedy club.

-No way!

0:20:430:20:46

Would I joke about something as serious as comedy?

0:20:460:20:49

This is above and beyond, Jane. Thank you!

0:20:490:20:50

Lunch is ready - come and get it, guys.

0:20:500:20:53

Yeah, in a minute. So what's the line-up?

0:20:530:20:54

Oh, I wrote it down.

0:20:540:20:56

It's Conor Locky, Lucy Rake, Tom Merlin and Suki Brown.

0:20:560:20:59

-Suki Brown! She's brilliant.

-She is good.

0:20:590:21:03

Ah, just the man I want to see!

0:21:030:21:04

Listen, buddy, can I ask you a favour?

0:21:040:21:07

-Now you want my help?

-Listen, I've got a proposition

0:21:070:21:09

for you. Just hear me out, all right?

0:21:090:21:11

-Cheers.

-There you go, darling.

0:21:110:21:12

B, if you've come back for another fight, I'm really not up for it.

0:21:150:21:18

Shifted them new leggings yet?

0:21:180:21:20

-No.

-Typical.

0:21:210:21:23

Let me show you how it's done.

0:21:240:21:26

-All right? How's Nan with the kids?

-Yeah. She's all right.

0:21:360:21:39

Listen, Kat, me being here - it ain't going to work.

0:21:400:21:44

It ain't even been a day, give it a chance!

0:21:440:21:46

Brighton ain't so great, you know. It's windy by the sea.

0:21:470:21:50

And you'll get fat with all them doughnut stalls.

0:21:500:21:53

You don't understand.

0:21:530:21:55

Just meet me in the Vic in ten minutes, yeah?

0:21:550:21:57

Roxy, can I have a word?

0:22:080:22:10

However you feel about me, I...

0:22:120:22:15

I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

0:22:160:22:18

Is that it?

0:22:190:22:21

Yeah.

0:22:230:22:24

I can't forget.

0:22:260:22:28

But I won't say anything, I promised Ronnie.

0:22:310:22:33

Look, my dad lied to me my whole life.

0:22:370:22:40

About what he did to Ronnie, about Danielle...

0:22:400:22:43

I loved him... but I never really knew him, so...

0:22:450:22:48

..what's one more lie?

0:22:500:22:52

Shall I hold the door open this time, Jen?

0:23:000:23:03

Listen, my name's not Jenny, it's Stacey.

0:23:040:23:08

-I was in a bit of trouble...

-It's all right, listen, you ain't got

0:23:080:23:11

to explain, it's none of my business.

0:23:110:23:12

-Did you get it sorted, this trouble?

-Yeah, in a way.

0:23:120:23:16

Good.

0:23:160:23:17

So, Stacey, would you like a drink on the house

0:23:170:23:20

and we'll start again, shall we?

0:23:200:23:22

Yeah, why not? I'll have a vodka.

0:23:220:23:24

-What are you doing?

-We found you something.

0:23:420:23:44

-What?

-Herman's Hermits?

-Oh, yes, that was it.

0:23:440:23:47

It only took a web search.

0:23:470:23:50

And we can download it for the funeral if you like?

0:23:500:23:52

MUSIC: "Sleepy Joe" by Herman's Hermits

0:23:540:23:56

# Rise and shine, sleepy Joe

0:23:570:23:59

# Now's the time, don't you know? #

0:23:590:24:01

"Rise and shine." I don't think that's very appropriate.

0:24:030:24:07

No, we'll have the traditional hymns.

0:24:070:24:09

Takes me right back, though.

0:24:110:24:13

I want you to arrange to have the coffin brought here.

0:24:180:24:21

Because I want to say a proper goodbye to him.

0:24:210:24:23

It's time he come home.

0:24:250:24:27

Listen, about my dad.

0:24:430:24:44

We both know what he's like when it comes to you,

0:24:440:24:47

and my family's had enough drama as it is...

0:24:470:24:49

It's all right, Lauren. I'm not staying.

0:24:490:24:52

Right.

0:24:520:24:53

Oh, Lauren.

0:24:540:24:56

Will you keep this safe for me?

0:25:000:25:02

-What is it?

-Please, just do it for me.

0:25:070:25:09

-What you doing here with Lily?

-Your guess is as good as mine.

0:25:200:25:23

Stacey called and asked me to pack their things

0:25:230:25:26

and meet her in here quick as I could.

0:25:260:25:28

-What? What, you just going to do a runner?

-No.

0:25:370:25:41

No, I need you to do me a favour.

0:25:410:25:43

You said it yourself. You said that Mum's doing great with Ollie, and...

0:25:430:25:47

I know that she'll take good care of Lily.

0:25:470:25:50

Why would she have to?

0:25:500:25:51

Kat's going to take you to the seaside.

0:25:520:25:55

She's going to take you to stay with Nanny Jean.

0:25:560:25:58

She's going to look after you until Mummy comes home, OK?

0:25:580:26:01

Mummy loves you. Mummy loves you so much.

0:26:060:26:11

Nan, do me a favour and take her outside.

0:26:240:26:26

We received a call about a crime committed in this pub.

0:26:270:26:30

I'm not Janine.

0:26:340:26:35

I can't just walk off into the sunset and get my happy ending.

0:26:350:26:39

I thought I could live with it, but I can't.

0:26:390:26:41

I need to clear Bradley's name.

0:26:410:26:43

And I don't want my daughter growing up in a lie.

0:26:450:26:48

Don't do this, Stacey, please.

0:26:480:26:50

I'm the one who called you.

0:26:520:26:54

I did it.

0:26:560:26:57

THUNDER RUMBLES

0:26:580:26:59

I killed Archie Mitchell.

0:27:010:27:02

CAR APPROACHES

0:27:200:27:23

-You all right, Linda?

-All right.

0:27:290:27:32

What's that doing here? The funeral's not till tomorrow.

0:27:320:27:36

I've not got my days wrong, have I?

0:27:360:27:39

No, no, it is tomorrow.

0:27:390:27:42

Erm... Is that Nick?

0:28:040:28:07

Yeah... Erm, Mrs B's having him lying in state.

0:28:070:28:11

I thought only Catholics did that.

0:28:110:28:14

It's what she wants.

0:28:140:28:16

Ronnie, hold on. She's the one who called the police...

0:28:160:28:19

It doesn't make any difference.

0:28:190:28:21

-Don't go and see her...

-I have to...

0:28:210:28:22

-Look, she's the one...

-I'm not going to leave Stacey to rot!

0:28:220:28:26

You can change your mind.

0:28:350:28:37

Mrs Branning.

0:28:410:28:43

Everything's as you requested. A solid Italian cherry coffin...

0:29:000:29:07

beautiful craftsmanship, I hope you agree.

0:29:070:29:09

Oh, and as instructed, the name plate.

0:29:110:29:13

Plain and simple - "Nicholas Cotton, 1959-2014."

0:29:130:29:21

He's here. He's come home.

0:29:210:29:26

Why don't you sit down?

0:29:260:29:29

Why is the lid still on?

0:29:290:29:31

Erm, we agreed a closed casket.

0:29:310:29:34

But I want to say goodbye to him.

0:29:340:29:37

Well, you can still say goodbye.

0:29:370:29:39

I want to see him.

0:29:390:29:41

I want to see his face. Unscrew it.

0:29:410:29:44

It's not a good idea, really...

0:29:440:29:45

he wasn't in a good way at the end.

0:29:450:29:47

Remember him how he was.

0:29:470:29:49

Mr Coker, I'd be very much obliged if you'd do as I wish.

0:29:490:29:53

I'll get some tools.

0:29:550:29:57

(You said this wouldn't happen!)

0:30:040:30:06

(I know, I'm trying to think!)

0:30:060:30:09

Mrs B's doing fine. It's me that's got the heebie-jeebies.

0:30:240:30:27

I'm going to be locking my door, sleeping with a crucifix,

0:30:270:30:30

garlic and a wooden stake. I ain't even joking.

0:30:300:30:32

A coffin in the house?

0:30:320:30:34

-Give Dot my love, will you?

-I will do, sweetheart.

0:30:340:30:37

Oh! Since when have you drunk fat free?

0:30:370:30:40

It's for Jane. She thinks she needs it. But she doesn't.

0:30:400:30:43

Oh, right? That's cos she's got the perfect figure?

0:30:430:30:46

Hmm! Yeah, she has, actually.

0:30:460:30:49

It's not like that.

0:30:500:30:52

No? But you want it to be, don't you?

0:30:520:30:56

-She's not interested.

-You sure?

0:30:560:30:58

Whose door was it she was knocking on for somewhere to live now? Eh?

0:30:580:31:02

-Hmm.

-Hmm.

0:31:020:31:05

I've done what she's asked. I've unscrewed the lid.

0:31:090:31:12

It's up to you now.

0:31:120:31:15

Oh, planning on cooking something nice tonight?

0:31:230:31:27

I don't think so. I'm just looking for some ideas for Ian.

0:31:280:31:32

He wants to reinvent the burger.

0:31:320:31:34

Bunless for the carb watchers with sweet potato fries.

0:31:340:31:36

You don't sound so sure.

0:31:360:31:39

Well, if you want a burger and chips, don't you just want

0:31:390:31:41

a burger and chips?

0:31:410:31:43

Any luck with the flat hunt, Jane?

0:31:430:31:45

Oh...no, not yet.

0:31:450:31:48

Well, there's no rush. You can stay as long as you like.

0:31:480:31:53

Mr Coker, he's usually very professional.

0:31:570:32:00

His wife's a bit of a gossip,

0:32:000:32:03

but then you can't hold that against him.

0:32:030:32:06

I want you to promise me that if you want to lift the lid

0:32:060:32:09

and see him you'll only do it with me there.

0:32:090:32:12

It's very upsetting and I'm not going to let you do it on your own.

0:32:120:32:15

Please...promise.

0:32:160:32:18

You're a good boy.

0:32:190:32:22

I am very grateful to you, you know, for arranging the funeral,

0:32:220:32:26

the coffin...

0:32:260:32:30

Watch what you're doing, that's my best china. You're like your father.

0:32:320:32:37

You're heavy-handed.

0:32:370:32:39

Am I like him in other ways?

0:32:390:32:42

Well, I don't really know you, do I?

0:32:420:32:44

You look more like your grandfather. My Charlie.

0:32:470:32:51

It's strange having you here. You, me...and your father.

0:32:530:32:59

But it's not the way I would've wanted.

0:33:030:33:06

I think I'd like some time alone with him.

0:33:080:33:12

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:33:120:33:15

I'll get that. Just... remember your promise, OK?

0:33:150:33:20

Thank you.

0:33:240:33:26

Oh...is Dot around?

0:33:330:33:35

-She's busy.

-Sorry, who are you?

0:33:350:33:36

-Her grandson.

-Grandson?

0:33:360:33:39

Well, I've known Dot all my life, she's never mentioned a grandson.

0:33:390:33:42

Charlie Cotton.

0:33:420:33:43

I'm afraid Dot didn't know I existed until a couple of weeks ago.

0:33:430:33:46

Give me the flowers, I'll tell her you called.

0:33:460:33:48

I'd really like to see her, let her know people care, you know.

0:33:480:33:51

She's in with my dad, she's saying her goodbyes.

0:33:510:33:53

Right. Well, tell her Sharon called and I'll call back later.

0:33:530:33:57

Sharon. Right, thank you.

0:33:570:33:59

I have missed you, Nick.

0:34:360:34:38

I left her some flowers, didn't know what else to do.

0:34:500:34:53

Why does she want the body in the house?

0:34:530:34:55

Well, maybe she wants people to pay their respects.

0:34:550:34:58

What, to Nick? Could be a long wait.

0:34:580:35:00

Come on, Ian, she's mourning.

0:35:000:35:02

Anyway, Charlie said she was in with the coffin

0:35:020:35:05

-so I just left the flowers with him.

-Charlie?

0:35:050:35:07

Yeah. Her grandson...

0:35:070:35:09

Well, apparently Dot didn't know he existed until a couple of weeks ago.

0:35:090:35:13

Still, it's a blessing she's got him, I suppose, isn't it?

0:35:130:35:17

And he's just appeared out of nowhere?

0:35:170:35:19

Well, yeah. Nick's son.

0:35:190:35:21

Right. So you've left Dot in her house on her own with a dead body

0:35:210:35:24

-and someone claiming to be her grandson?

-No, he wasn't claiming...

0:35:240:35:27

Sharon, this is Nick Cotton we're talking about,

0:35:270:35:29

that bloke could be anyone.

0:35:290:35:31

I've been thinking.

0:35:340:35:36

Do you remember that children's service at the church?

0:35:380:35:42

I made your costume for you. It was Harvest Festival.

0:35:420:35:48

And you went as a carrot.

0:35:480:35:49

And Ethel, she came with us, and she smuggled Willy in in her

0:35:490:35:56

shopping bag and he kept growling at that bird on that woman's hat.

0:35:560:36:00

and I was cross with you cos you was giggling, and I told you off.

0:36:000:36:05

I wish I'd laughed. I mean, you can laugh in church.

0:36:080:36:13

You never went to Sunday School again.

0:36:150:36:19

I should have done more.

0:36:190:36:22

DOORBELL RINGS

0:36:240:36:26

I'm not looking at no-one in no open coffin. Never have done.

0:36:280:36:33

It makes my skin crawl just thinking about it.

0:36:330:36:37

Yeah, well, you don't want to tell her that.

0:36:370:36:39

I'm not stupid.

0:36:400:36:42

I'm here as a mark of respect to a very dear friend in

0:36:420:36:47

her hour of need.

0:36:470:36:50

Ah, you must be Charlie. Arthur told me all about you.

0:36:510:36:55

I'm Patrick, this is Cora. We're friends of Dorothy's.

0:36:550:36:59

Nice to meet you. I'm afraid she's a bit busy, she's in with...

0:36:590:37:02

Patrick, is that you? Come on in.

0:37:020:37:05

How are you doing, my dear?

0:37:140:37:18

Fine. I'm just in with my Nick.

0:37:180:37:21

Charlie, would you put the kettle on?

0:37:210:37:24

Course. is everything all right in there?

0:37:240:37:27

Yes.

0:37:270:37:28

This way.

0:37:300:37:32

There's people come to pay their respects

0:37:370:37:41

so I can't be too long.

0:37:410:37:44

I saw the hearse, man, it was a bit of a surprise.

0:37:540:37:58

Yeah. It's not normal nowadays, is it?

0:37:580:38:02

-Having the coffin in the house.

-It's what Dot wanted.

0:38:020:38:05

Do you live round here?

0:38:050:38:06

Yeah. Not far.

0:38:060:38:08

You don't sound like a Londoner.

0:38:080:38:11

I'm originally from Coventry but been here for the past ten years.

0:38:110:38:14

How comes she never knew you existed?

0:38:140:38:17

Just one of them family things.

0:38:170:38:19

Patrick tells me you're a cop.

0:38:190:38:22

Detective Constable.

0:38:220:38:24

KNOCK AT DOOR Excuse me.

0:38:240:38:26

Bit of a coincidence, ain't it?

0:38:330:38:36

Him rocking up just as Nick kicks the bucket.

0:38:360:38:39

What the devil are you talking about?

0:38:390:38:42

Has she got proof he is who he says he is?

0:38:420:38:46

You honestly think that somebody's going to pretend to be Nick's son?

0:38:460:38:50

You don't really know anyone.

0:38:500:38:53

What about Stacey? Look what she did.

0:38:530:38:58

There could be insurance involved in this.

0:38:580:39:01

The man was a junkie! And junkies don't insure their lives.

0:39:010:39:07

You can't let this happen to you. You've gotta fight it.

0:39:110:39:16

For Lily's sake. You don't deserve to be in here.

0:39:160:39:18

I killed him.

0:39:180:39:19

He raped you.

0:39:190:39:21

And he paid for it and now it's my turn to pay.

0:39:210:39:24

You can't think like that. You were the victim!

0:39:240:39:27

Why do you care so much?

0:39:270:39:29

I know what my dad was like...

0:39:290:39:31

I know the kind of monster that he was

0:39:310:39:33

and I know the kind of person you are.

0:39:330:39:35

I'm not Danielle.

0:39:350:39:37

I let her down. I'm not going to let you down.

0:39:370:39:41

He seems all right and he obviously cares about Dot.

0:39:470:39:50

He's still Nick Cotton's spawn.

0:39:500:39:53

If he is who he says he is.

0:39:530:39:54

Drop it now, man.

0:39:540:39:56

Have you, um, have you been in...?

0:39:560:40:00

No, not yet.

0:40:000:40:02

I'm not going in.

0:40:020:40:04

I've been thinking. Nick tried killing Dot in this house.

0:40:040:40:09

Oh, don't, Ian, it gives me the creeps.

0:40:090:40:11

I know it's not a nice thing to say, but thank God he's dead.

0:40:110:40:14

Hear, hear.

0:40:140:40:16

Wonder what kind of coffin she's got him? They're not cheap.

0:40:160:40:19

I hope it weren't an expensive one, or he'll rise from the dead

0:40:190:40:21

and try to sell it.

0:40:210:40:23

That's all he was interested in doing - nick stuff

0:40:230:40:25

and flog it to fund his habit.

0:40:250:40:27

Dot's asked if you'd all come through to the sitting room.

0:40:270:40:31

-I'll stay here and make the tea.

-It's what Dot wants.

0:40:310:40:34

Dot all right, is she?

0:40:440:40:45

As well as can be expected.

0:40:450:40:47

At least she's got her friends around her, eh?

0:40:470:40:50

You always was a lovely girl.

0:40:550:40:58

You were there for me when I lost my mum.

0:40:580:41:01

-Patrick.

-I'm so sorry.

0:41:040:41:07

It's a terrible thing, a parent burying a child. I know.

0:41:070:41:13

Yes, of course you do.

0:41:130:41:15

-Cora...

-Deepest condolences, Dot.

0:41:200:41:23

Thank you.

0:41:230:41:24

Come here. Denise and the kids send their love.

0:41:300:41:35

I'm sorry about the other day, I was just stressed about everything

0:41:370:41:39

but it's all going to be perfect tomorrow, OK?

0:41:390:41:44

You OK?

0:41:440:41:46

Well, I'm better now he's home.

0:41:460:41:49

Cos I've spent so many years not knowing where he was.

0:41:490:41:54

At least now you can stop worrying about that.

0:41:540:41:58

Rest in peace, Nick.

0:42:010:42:03

Oh, Ian, I'd almost forgotten...

0:42:030:42:07

I'd like you to speak at the funeral.

0:42:070:42:11

What, like a reading?

0:42:110:42:13

No, a eulogy. You know, to say a few words about Nick.

0:42:130:42:16

Wouldn't you rather do that yourself?

0:42:160:42:19

Well, it would mean an awful lot if you did it.

0:42:190:42:21

Cos I remember how nicely you spoke after

0:42:210:42:25

the burial of your Auntie Pauline.

0:42:250:42:28

Yeah...I suppose so.

0:42:280:42:30

Were you one of my dad's mates?

0:42:300:42:32

Well, we kind of grew up together.

0:42:330:42:35

I mean, your dad was a bit older than us but...

0:42:350:42:39

Yes, well, your father, he didn't have many friends. Not close ones.

0:42:390:42:46

When he was a little boy he used to say that I was his best friend

0:42:460:42:51

and I used to say that he was mine.

0:42:510:42:53

I've got something that might help you, you know.

0:42:560:43:00

Could you come with me, Charlie?

0:43:000:43:02

Of course.

0:43:020:43:03

I have nightmares every night of Bradley falling...

0:43:130:43:17

I've got his blood on my hands.

0:43:170:43:20

That's never going to wash off.

0:43:200:43:22

He wouldn't want you in here.

0:43:220:43:24

Ronnie, I'm not Danielle. You don't owe me anything.

0:43:240:43:28

Just let me help you.

0:43:280:43:29

I don't want to be helped, OK?

0:43:290:43:32

Just get on with your life and forget about me.

0:43:320:43:35

At least the lid is closed.

0:43:480:43:50

Doesn't stop you thinking he's going to jump out at you.

0:43:500:43:52

Like father, like son.

0:43:520:43:55

How do you mean?

0:43:550:43:57

From what I can understand, Nick was evil.

0:43:570:44:00

Wouldn't surprise me if Charlie's not a chip off the old block.

0:44:000:44:06

It is weird how he's appeared out of nowhere.

0:44:060:44:09

Don't stop on my account.

0:44:110:44:13

Sorry. We're just looking out for Dot.

0:44:150:44:18

Nick didn't always treat her that well.

0:44:180:44:20

She'll be down in a minute.

0:44:200:44:21

Look... I hardly know anything about my dad, OK?

0:44:210:44:25

I only met him when I was a kid. I'm here to look after Dot.

0:44:250:44:28

-Like Nick did?!

-You clearly didn't like him.

0:44:280:44:30

I get it. But, for Dot's sake, I think the least you can do is...

0:44:300:44:33

Don't tell me what I should do for Dot's sake.

0:44:330:44:36

That woman has been part of my life since I was born.

0:44:360:44:39

Who are you? Some stranger she's just met?

0:44:390:44:40

All right, calm down...

0:44:400:44:42

You want to know who your dad was? I'll tell you. OK? He was scum.

0:44:420:44:45

He was a murdering, thieving... No, leave it, Patrick.

0:44:450:44:49

..lying con man who was only interested in number one.

0:44:490:44:52

Everybody else turned their back on him apart from Dot.

0:44:520:44:55

And do you know how he repaid her?

0:44:550:44:57

He tried to murder her. Yeah, that's right.

0:44:570:44:59

He tried to poison his own mother for her money.

0:44:590:45:01

People do desperate things when they're on drugs.

0:45:010:45:04

Yeah, he was filth. In fact, he wasn't interested in Dot.

0:45:040:45:07

He didn't care about Dot.

0:45:070:45:09

All he was interested in is was what she was worth to him dead.

0:45:090:45:12

So him being in that coffin is the best news I've had all year.

0:45:120:45:16

Have you finished?

0:45:160:45:17

-I think you should go.

-I'm sorry.

0:45:170:45:19

I think you should take your opinions and get out.

0:45:190:45:21

-Come on, Ian, let's go. We really are sorry for your loss.

-All of you. Just go.

0:45:210:45:24

-I'm just saying what you're all thinking, all right?

-Ian...

0:45:240:45:27

THEY GASP AND SCREAM

0:45:270:45:30

-I-It wasn't my fault.

-What's all that noise?

0:45:320:45:35

-Nick!

-Oh, Dot, don't...don't look!

0:45:350:45:38

Everybody out!

0:45:380:45:40

THEY ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

0:45:400:45:42

There's no harm done, it's just an accident.

0:45:420:45:44

Everything's all right, everything's all right. It'll be OK.

0:45:440:45:47

This one dead?

0:45:490:45:50

Yeah.

0:45:500:45:52

-Well? Did you get to see her, then?

-Yeah.

0:45:550:45:58

I don't know why you bothered going. It's done with.

0:45:580:46:01

She's locked up so I should just forget about her?

0:46:010:46:04

-Like you've done with Ben?

-She killed your dad.

0:46:040:46:06

I mean, I weren't a fan of the geezer but he was still your dad.

0:46:060:46:10

-She's suffered enough.

-This isn't about Stacey.

0:46:100:46:13

This is about you,

0:46:130:46:15

because you've got some sick obsession with Dad

0:46:150:46:17

-and it's going to eat you up.

-Is that right?

-That's right.

0:46:170:46:20

Ronnie, drop it...for me, please.

0:46:200:46:24

SHE SIGHS

0:46:290:46:31

-Hi. Are you off out?

-Yeah.

0:46:390:46:41

That's a really pretty scarf.

0:46:410:46:44

It's part of my faith.

0:46:440:46:46

Yeah, course.

0:46:460:46:48

I think it's great that you've got such a strong faith, Shabnam.

0:46:480:46:51

It's not just about my faith.

0:46:510:46:53

I don't have to wear it in front of Tam or my dad or you because...

0:46:530:46:57

You just have to wear it in front of other men to preserve your modesty.

0:46:570:47:00

-Yes.

-Yeah, I know.

0:47:000:47:02

You know, it's a shame modesty is something most women

0:47:050:47:09

don't seem to consider any more.

0:47:090:47:10

I've been thinking about Dad, and you being here.

0:47:140:47:17

He's very lonely. I don't think you being here is helping.

0:47:170:47:21

-Really?

-Hmm.

-Having a good friend around the house is...?

0:47:210:47:26

Shabnam, your dad is one of the kindest people I know.

0:47:280:47:31

-He's always there, he's always reliable.

-Yeah.

0:47:310:47:34

Easy for people to take advantage.

0:47:340:47:37

I hope you're not talking about me.

0:47:370:47:39

He's vulnerable, Jane.

0:47:400:47:42

I know he pretends to be all right

0:47:440:47:46

but my mum leaving him really knocked him.

0:47:460:47:49

He's not over her,

0:47:490:47:51

and on top of that, what Carol did to him...

0:47:510:47:53

They were together. We are just friends.

0:47:530:47:56

SHE SCOFFS

0:47:560:47:58

Is that what you tell yourself?

0:47:580:48:00

DOOR CLOSES

0:48:060:48:08

I don't care, I need you here now!

0:48:090:48:12

DOOR BELL RINGS

0:48:130:48:15

Look, before you say anything, I've just come to apologise, OK?

0:48:200:48:24

I shouldn't have said what I said.

0:48:240:48:27

He was your dad and it wasn't right.

0:48:270:48:30

You obviously think a lot of Dot and I'm sorry I doubted you.

0:48:300:48:34

I'll, um... I'll try and do your dad proud tomorrow.

0:48:340:48:40

I'm glad Dot's got you.

0:48:400:48:42

Does it help, reading the Bible?

0:49:180:49:21

It's always helped me,

0:49:210:49:24

but your father,

0:49:240:49:26

he weren't a believer.

0:49:260:49:29

And Sharon, she said to me that I could stop worrying about him,

0:49:300:49:34

on account of knowing where he is at last...

0:49:340:49:36

But I don't, do I?

0:49:380:49:40

He's here, Dot.

0:49:400:49:42

No, that's just his body.

0:49:420:49:44

"And fear not them which can kill the body,

0:49:440:49:48

"but are not able to kill the soul

0:49:480:49:51

"but rather fear him which can destroy both soul and body in hell."

0:49:510:49:56

That's Matthew 10, verse 28.

0:49:560:50:00

You see, hell isn't fire and brimstone.

0:50:030:50:06

It's being apart from God.

0:50:060:50:08

And if I am saved and he ain't...

0:50:080:50:11

then I shall be apart from him...

0:50:110:50:14

..unless he came to Jesus in the end and confessed his sins.

0:50:150:50:20

Maybe he did.

0:50:200:50:22

I should've saved him.

0:50:240:50:26

The one son that God blessed me with

0:50:260:50:31

and I let him die without Jesus in his heart.

0:50:310:50:35

What sort of mother does that make me?

0:50:360:50:40

-No-one thinks you could have done any better, Dot.

-Don't they?

0:50:400:50:44

Jesus knows.

0:50:440:50:46

You see, I thought there'd be time for him to change his ways,

0:50:460:50:51

and then with the coffin falling and his hand coming out...

0:50:510:50:56

I mean, what does that all mean?

0:50:560:50:58

I've been thinking.

0:51:020:51:05

Would you, um... Would you mind if I called you Grandma?

0:51:050:51:09

-Well, you're just saying that.

-No, no, no. I'd really like to.

0:51:090:51:14

You're a good boy, you've been very good to me.

0:51:140:51:18

Your father should've been proud of you.

0:51:180:51:20

Don't worry about him now. He's at peace.

0:51:200:51:23

Well, how do we know that?

0:51:230:51:24

The one time he needed me, I had cut him out of my life...

0:51:240:51:29

..and now it's too late.

0:51:310:51:33

I failed him.

0:51:340:51:36

I failed him.

0:51:380:51:40

SHE SOBS

0:51:420:51:44

DOOR CLOSES

0:51:470:51:49

And is that inclusive of bills?

0:51:490:51:51

Oh. And what band council tax is it, please?

0:51:510:51:54

Right. I'll call you back. Thank you.

0:51:570:51:59

Hi.

0:51:590:52:01

Has, um... Has Shabnam said something?

0:52:020:52:06

I need a place of my own.

0:52:060:52:09

You can't. I like having you here, I thought you liked being here.

0:52:100:52:15

I don't want to outstay my welcome.

0:52:150:52:17

You couldn't! I mean, there's plenty of room here,

0:52:170:52:20

and you wouldn't find anywhere near Bobby.

0:52:200:52:23

Look, Mas, you know I think so much of you.

0:52:240:52:27

You are a dear, dear friend.

0:52:270:52:30

I could be more.

0:52:300:52:31

I want to be more.

0:52:320:52:34

Mas...

0:52:340:52:35

No... I don't want that!

0:52:380:52:40

Um...

0:52:480:52:50

-I'm sorry.

-No, I'm sorry. I, um...

0:52:510:52:54

We're just friends, Mas. That's all we are.

0:52:540:52:57

Jesus, you know how I'm feeling,

0:53:050:53:09

how tormented I am about my Nick,

0:53:090:53:12

that he died without his sins being forgiven.

0:53:120:53:16

I mean, I brought him up to believe in you, to love you,

0:53:180:53:21

but he changed when he was led astray by those wicked drugs.

0:53:210:53:27

He laughed in my face.

0:53:270:53:29

He jeered at my faith.

0:53:290:53:31

I mean, I know that you hung upon the Cross

0:53:310:53:35

to take our sins upon yourself,

0:53:350:53:38

but was it for everybody, or was it just for them what believed?

0:53:380:53:44

I don't know

0:53:440:53:47

and I've got no-one to talk to.

0:53:470:53:49

I mean, even the Rev Mr Stevens is away.

0:53:490:53:53

And I know I ain't praying in the right way.

0:53:540:53:57

I know I should be trusting you -

0:53:570:54:00

ask and ye shall receive -

0:54:000:54:03

but I can't.

0:54:030:54:06

I keep worrying that it's too late.

0:54:080:54:12

I'm putting my reputation on the line here.

0:54:150:54:18

99 years my family have been in business.

0:54:180:54:22

Word gets out about this, I'm ruined.

0:54:220:54:26

Well, screw it down tight.

0:54:260:54:28

I can't afford the risk of anyone looking inside.

0:54:280:54:31

You've been at that for hours. Here, let me have a look.

0:55:200:55:24

No!

0:55:240:55:26

Oh, Ian?!

0:55:260:55:27

It's going to be a disaster, ain't it?

0:55:300:55:32

I just need to get on with it, get it out the way.

0:55:320:55:35

YOU'VE got my laptop! I've been looking for it everywhere.

0:55:350:55:37

Whoa, what you doing?!

0:55:370:55:39

I just got sent a copy of my website page. Wait till you see it.

0:55:390:55:42

Lucy, I've got a speech to write, all right? It can wait till later.

0:55:420:55:44

What, you can't spare a minute?

0:55:450:55:48

Your dad's in a bit of a state at the minute.

0:55:480:55:50

-What have you done?!

-See you later, Dad.

0:55:550:55:56

Luce! All right, love, I'll...

0:55:560:55:59

DOOR SLAMS ..I'll look at your website.

0:55:590:56:01

HEAVY RAIN ON WINDOW

0:56:010:56:03

Sandy and Dotty sent a card.

0:56:030:56:05

That's my granddaughter.

0:56:050:56:08

She can't come. She's got a cold.

0:56:080:56:10

Tell me you haven't been in here all night.

0:56:100:56:14

I wanted to keep him company, you know.

0:56:140:56:16

-Didn't want him to be on his own.

-We've got a bit of time -

0:56:160:56:19

why don't you have a lie down, and I'll sit with him?

0:56:190:56:21

No time for that. I've got to ring Mr Papadopoulos,

0:56:210:56:24

-tell him I can't come in.

-You've already done it.

0:56:240:56:27

Have I?

0:56:270:56:28

I've forgotten.

0:56:300:56:31

I will see him again, won't I?

0:56:340:56:35

You know, when I pass on...

0:56:370:56:39

..my Nick will be there, won't he?

0:56:410:56:43

My mum used to say that God loves everyone.

0:56:450:56:48

Yes. He sendeth the rain on the just, and on the unjust.

0:56:480:56:55

Oh, look. It's stopped raining.

0:56:580:57:02

It's going to be a sunny day.

0:57:030:57:04

Why does it looks so big in here?

0:57:060:57:08

I'm not just a pretty face, you know! It's all about clever design.

0:57:080:57:12

Now, there's a staircase out the back to create more space.

0:57:120:57:15

And there's one outside that goes straight to the balcony.

0:57:150:57:19

I thought you'd have noticed it, with the hoardings down.

0:57:190:57:22

-Thought that was a fire escape.

-You are so designer-unfriendly!

0:57:220:57:25

Anyway, how comes this delivery's come so early?

0:57:280:57:30

-Well, we won't be here to sign for them, will we?

-Why?

0:57:300:57:33

You haven't forgotten what's happening

0:57:330:57:35

around 12 o'clock today, have you?

0:57:350:57:37

A certain someone's getting buried.

0:57:380:57:40

And I won't be going.

0:57:400:57:41

Oh, yes, you will.

0:57:410:57:43

The geezer was a weasel, I hated him.

0:57:430:57:45

Yeah, and today you're going to love him.

0:57:450:57:47

You're going to turn up, looking suitably sombre,

0:57:470:57:50

and Dot will be so touched.

0:57:500:57:51

-This ain't Denny you're talking to, you know.

-Come on, Phil,

0:57:510:57:54

please, do it for me.

0:57:540:57:56

You know there's going to be hardly anybody there, so I'd love it

0:57:560:58:00

if Dot thought people cared.

0:58:000:58:01

That's not TOO much to ask, is it?

0:58:010:58:04

In Nick Cotton's case, yeah, it is.

0:58:040:58:06

Well, I'll be wearing black today.

0:58:080:58:09

Hmm? Black dress,

0:58:090:58:12

black stockings...

0:58:120:58:14

Do you want me to go on?

0:58:140:58:17

Now, bring the rest in - I've got a million things to do.

0:58:170:58:20

OK.

0:58:200:58:22

Snap!

0:58:330:58:34

Only, mine's bigger than yours. Listen, how was your little day trip?

0:58:350:58:39

I know that you went to see Stacey.

0:58:400:58:42

I don't really think now is the time or place, do you?

0:58:420:58:44

We'll go over the caff if you want?

0:58:440:58:46

I'm only making conversation.

0:58:460:58:48

Look, I'll make it easy for you, shall I?

0:58:480:58:51

She didn't mention you. Not once.

0:58:510:58:53

-All right?

-Sorry, Mas, running late.

0:59:000:59:02

I didn't see you at breakfast.

0:59:020:59:04

-Wasn't hungry.

-Or you're avoiding me already.

0:59:050:59:08

Don't say that. Course not.

0:59:080:59:10

There's really no need to. I understand, I do.

0:59:100:59:13

Being friends is enough for me.

0:59:140:59:16

We're not teenagers, I can cope.

0:59:180:59:20

Sorry.

0:59:200:59:22

And, look, if you want to move out, that's cool,

0:59:220:59:24

but really, there's no need to.

0:59:240:59:27

-We can all get along, can't we?

-Thank you.

0:59:270:59:30

See? It's working already.

0:59:300:59:31

I wondered if Dot needed anything.

0:59:390:59:42

Er, no, she's just sort of sitting in there at the moment.

0:59:420:59:45

Right, I'll pop my head in.

0:59:450:59:47

Yeah. She's doing OK - you know, considering...

0:59:470:59:50

but she's doing it her way.

0:59:500:59:52

Oh, of course.

0:59:520:59:55

I mean, I haven't even told her that Rose and Andrew ain't coming yet.

0:59:550:59:59

Did she mention them?

0:59:591:00:00

Right. Well, let's worry about the people who WILL be there.

1:00:001:00:03

We're the ones who need to make today special.

1:00:031:00:06

-So that's him, then, is it?

-Was.

1:00:101:00:13

That's a lovely touch, that is.

1:00:131:00:14

There's more of this to come, but I really appreciate

1:00:141:00:16

you letting us have it here, seeing as the restaurant's out of action.

1:00:161:00:19

And the chippy just seemed wrong.

1:00:191:00:22

Shouldn't you be on the stall?

1:00:221:00:24

That is the last time I help you.

1:00:241:00:25

Pete, come on, I was joking!

1:00:251:00:27

Funny, ain't it? You put everything into your kids,

1:00:271:00:31

send them on their way, and they get sent back, and it's...

1:00:311:00:35

Don't you worry, Ian,

1:00:351:00:36

we'll do everything to make it as special as we can.

1:00:361:00:39

Yeah, you can rely on the Carters, my old son.

1:00:391:00:41

I'll get the rest of the food sorted, then get started on my speech.

1:00:411:00:44

You're doing a speech? You?

1:00:441:00:46

Yeah. Dot asked me.

1:00:461:00:47

Well, you done it yet?

1:00:471:00:49

Er, I'm nearly there.

1:00:491:00:50

Give him a squeeze, he's been sorting all this out, ain't he?

1:00:501:00:53

Yeah, well, sorting out a few sausage rolls is one thing,

1:00:531:00:55

writing a speech for Dot's dead son...

1:00:551:00:57

I know where MY priorities would be.

1:00:571:00:59

Was thinking, we might do a family meal later.

1:01:011:01:03

-You up for that?

-Yeah, great. Nice one. That sounds good.

1:01:031:01:06

You ain't thinking of cooking, are you?

1:01:061:01:08

Don't you think one wake's enough for today?

1:01:081:01:10

There you go, Patrick - strong cuppa.

1:01:151:01:18

Thanks. And I need to make it even stronger.

1:01:181:01:22

I tell you, I drank a gallon of this when my son Paul died, you know?

1:01:231:01:27

What do you think? It's my new web page.

1:01:301:01:32

I know it's not perfect, but... what do you think?

1:01:321:01:35

You're starting a business?

1:01:351:01:37

Do you know how many jobs I've gone for and not got?

1:01:371:01:40

If they don't want me, then I'll do it on my own.

1:01:401:01:43

Yeah, I like it! Nice one.

1:01:431:01:44

LB Lettings. I'm surprised your dad's name's not all over it.

1:01:441:01:48

My dad? No, he's not involved. This is just me.

1:01:481:01:51

You done that all by yourself?

1:01:521:01:55

Do you mind?

1:01:551:01:56

No, no, I like it. It's good.

1:01:561:01:58

-I like it a lot.

-Thanks.

1:01:581:02:02

I'D click on it.

1:02:021:02:04

I would.

1:02:041:02:06

So, what, do you reckon me and Paul would've got on?

1:02:081:02:10

That boy was a liar, a thief and the bane of my life.

1:02:101:02:14

So you didn't like him that much, then?

1:02:141:02:17

Son, I loved him with all my heart.

1:02:171:02:19

Oh, I think, um, it's time I go and call on Dot now.

1:02:221:02:26

I thought I might tag along.

1:02:261:02:28

Look, I don't think that's a good idea.

1:02:281:02:31

-I care an' all, Patrick.

-But I'm just going to drop these outside.

1:02:311:02:34

Then, you won't mind me coming, will you?

1:02:341:02:37

Listen now, I don't want any trouble, all right?

1:02:381:02:41

What are you talking about - trouble? On a day like today?

1:02:411:02:44

Come on. No time like the present.

1:02:501:02:53

You haven't got long to get changed.

1:02:581:03:00

Well, I ain't getting changed, Sonia.

1:03:001:03:02

I ain't going.

1:03:021:03:04

Course you are.

1:03:041:03:06

Nah. Just tell your mum I can't face it.

1:03:061:03:09

Max, Mum's not well today, all right? She's in bed, she can't go.

1:03:091:03:13

Well, lucky for her.

1:03:131:03:14

Why don't you get over there and see for yourself how lucky she is, eh?

1:03:141:03:18

Oh, come on, Max.

1:03:181:03:19

Grandad is desperate for one of his kids to be there.

1:03:191:03:22

So please get changed, cos you ain't got long.

1:03:221:03:24

You can't do this to Dot.

1:03:251:03:28

Please, Max.

1:03:301:03:32

Maybe I just don't like funerals.

1:03:341:03:36

I can't believe you'd be that selfish.

1:03:361:03:39

Oh, um...

1:03:521:03:53

From me...

1:03:541:03:57

-and Cora.

-Thank you.

1:03:571:03:59

Is Dot receiving?

1:03:591:04:01

We're not stopping, OK?

1:04:011:04:02

I'd like to apologise for yesterday.

1:04:041:04:07

I've lost a child an' all, you know.

1:04:071:04:08

-You what?

-Rainie.

1:04:081:04:11

I know she's not dead, but I'll probably never see her again.

1:04:111:04:15

And that's just as bad.

1:04:151:04:16

Look, she's just a bit...you know?

1:04:161:04:19

Yeah, I do know. Just give her those for me, please.

1:04:191:04:21

All I'm saying is that... I...I know what she's going through,

1:04:211:04:27

more than anyone.

1:04:271:04:29

Just tell Dot we'll see her later.

1:04:291:04:31

Will do, Patrick. Thanks again.

1:04:311:04:33

Only, you know, I could help her and console her.

1:04:331:04:38

Just leave it now, man.

1:04:381:04:40

I mean, it's a terrible day as it is without you making it even worse.

1:04:401:04:44

Oh, yes! And your "the man's a junkie"

1:04:441:04:48

really helped the mood yesterday, didn't it?

1:04:481:04:51

I think that's enough. I understand you're friends with my grandma,

1:04:511:04:54

but I don't want any more trouble today.

1:04:541:04:55

Make sure you put ALL of him in the ground.

1:04:551:04:59

Cora!

1:04:591:05:00

You're going to have to keep them oiks away from the food.

1:05:141:05:16

Don't you worry about a thing - we've got a guard dog.

1:05:161:05:19

But she'll be at the funeral.

1:05:191:05:20

-You wrote that speech yet?

-Yes.

-Show us it.

1:05:221:05:25

Who are you, the speech police?

1:05:251:05:26

Look at you, all nervy!

1:05:261:05:28

Keep calm, you can only do your best.

1:05:281:05:31

We can only live in hope.

1:05:311:05:32

-What'll it be, gents?

-Guess.

1:05:321:05:34

THEY LAUGH

1:05:341:05:37

Everyone, the hearse is here.

1:05:371:05:39

Good luck.

1:05:401:05:42

Grandma.

1:06:061:06:08

Mrs B...

1:06:141:06:16

We've, er, we've got to go now.

1:06:161:06:18

KNOCK AT DOOR

1:06:181:06:20

HE KNOCKS DOOR

1:06:301:06:32

Mrs Branning...?

1:06:321:06:34

We're going to take your son now.

1:06:421:06:43

We need to go.

1:06:561:06:57

Yep. You get the car and I'll catch you up, OK?

1:06:571:07:01

Don't forget, I'm on a promise later.

1:07:011:07:03

I won't. See you later.

1:07:031:07:06

PHONE RINGS

1:07:061:07:09

Hello?

1:07:111:07:12

You're what?

1:07:141:07:16

All right, as long as it arrives in the next ten minutes.

1:07:171:07:22

Yeah, OK.

1:07:221:07:24

Got a minute?

1:07:251:07:28

Only, I've been thinking about your website.

1:07:291:07:32

Looks amazing, it really does.

1:07:321:07:35

Yeah, you already said that.

1:07:351:07:36

But I forgot to add something...

1:07:361:07:38

If you're really serious about going into business,

1:07:381:07:41

well, how about I come in with you?

1:07:411:07:44

-You?

-Well, I know the ropes... I've got all the contacts, ain't I?

1:07:451:07:49

I can get out there and rustle you up tonnes of business.

1:07:491:07:53

Thing is, Billy, I sort of have my own vision,

1:07:531:07:55

my own way of doing things, so...

1:07:551:07:57

Come on, Lucy, you can't do this all by yourself, you know.

1:07:571:08:01

I mean, who's going to be there to man the phones

1:08:011:08:03

while you're showing clients around, eh?

1:08:031:08:06

It's not a one-man operation.

1:08:061:08:07

You want to make this work, you're going to need some help.

1:08:091:08:11

Trust me.

1:08:111:08:13

You working round here, then?

1:08:181:08:20

Probably till the end of the month.

1:08:201:08:21

-Sounds good, man.

-You got to take what you can when you can.

1:08:211:08:25

-The sun's shining, Dot.

-I knew it would.

1:08:311:08:34

Grandma...

1:09:011:09:03

Where's Sharon?

1:09:221:09:23

You want a lift?

1:09:281:09:29

Well, I ain't jogging there, am I?

1:09:321:09:34

No, you go ahead, Phil. I'll get a cab.

1:09:401:09:42

Yeah, I'll be, like, two minutes, I promise you.

1:09:431:09:46

Hang on, there's another call, it might be the delivery. Hang on.

1:09:461:09:49

Hello?

1:09:521:09:53

Linda.

1:09:531:09:55

You've found what?

1:09:561:09:58

Oh, you are kidding me!

1:09:581:10:00

Look, just hang onto it and I'll come and grab it, OK?

1:10:001:10:03

Shouldn't you be off paying your respects?

1:10:231:10:26

No, not me, not today.

1:10:261:10:27

Now, how about some of that free wine?

1:10:271:10:30

That's for the wake, Cora.

1:10:301:10:32

I was very fond of Nick.

1:10:321:10:34

Just the one.

1:10:371:10:38

-L?

-Yeah?

-Is someone going to shout up to Nancy, or...?

1:10:391:10:42

She went out with her mates ages ago.

1:10:421:10:45

I didn't think the skater-boy look quite fit in with a wake.

1:10:451:10:48

You've got to be careful about these things, sensitive.

1:10:481:10:51

Don't want something letting us down, do we?

1:10:511:10:54

ORGAN PLAYS

1:10:571:10:59

-You all right?

-Just.

1:11:021:11:04

-Just do Dot proud, yeah?

-I will.

1:11:071:11:08

I think of her too, sometimes.

1:11:191:11:22

Hev?

1:11:231:11:24

PHONE RINGS

1:11:381:11:40

Gentlemen, please.

1:11:451:11:47

Please be seated.

1:12:081:12:10

On behalf of Mrs Branning, I would like to welcome you all

1:12:131:12:17

to the celebration and remembrance of Nick Cotton.

1:12:171:12:19

Got a minute? Good.

1:12:231:12:25

I want that lot out of here - only we've got guests coming later.

1:12:271:12:30

-Yeah, I spotted that.

-It's not the only thing you've spotted.

1:12:301:12:33

-Can't keep your eyes off that bloke.

-What bloke?

1:12:331:12:35

Picking up men is one thing - doing it during a wake is another.

1:12:351:12:38

Now, keep your hormones in your pocket.

1:12:381:12:40

I'd now like to invite Ian Beale to say

1:12:481:12:50

a few words on behalf of Dorothy.

1:12:501:12:52

I've lost my words.

1:12:571:12:58

Ian...

1:12:581:13:00

I can't find it!

1:13:001:13:02

I can't...I can't find my speech.

1:13:021:13:05

OK, right, well...

1:13:061:13:07

Firstly, of course, if anyone has any fond memories of Nick

1:13:081:13:11

that they'd like to share, I'm sure Dorothy would love to hear them.

1:13:111:13:15

I knew that prat would mess up.

1:13:161:13:17

I'd like to say a few words, please.

1:13:281:13:30

Do you have a Bible?

1:13:301:13:32

Did you mean what you said about Hev earlier?

1:13:341:13:37

She's hard to forget, ain't she?

1:13:381:13:40

"Do not let your hearts be troubled.

1:13:421:13:44

"Trust in God, trust also in me.

1:13:451:13:48

"In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so,

1:13:501:13:55

"I would have told you.

1:13:551:13:57

"I am going to prepare a place for you.

1:13:591:14:02

"And if I go and prepare a place for you,

1:14:041:14:07

"I will come back and take you to be with me

1:14:071:14:11

"that you also may be where I am."

1:14:111:14:14

Come on, Patrick, Dot's a saint - you know she'll understand.

1:14:161:14:20

Dex, over here. Why aren't you at work?

1:14:201:14:23

Sharon told Phil I've got to be here -

1:14:231:14:25

something to do with making up the numbers or something.

1:14:251:14:27

Grab a seat, then, before the rush.

1:14:271:14:30

I was going to give this to you on Sunday.

1:14:441:14:46

You might as well have it now.

1:14:461:14:48

I've got no idea what to write in this any more.

1:14:481:14:51

-Oh, thank you!

-Mr Beale?

-Yeah. It's my eulogy...

1:15:081:15:13

Sorry about that.

1:15:131:15:14

Nicholas Cotton wasn't perfect.

1:15:221:15:25

But then again, who of us really are?

1:15:251:15:27

In fact, you could argue that having flaws only makes us more human.

1:15:271:15:32

Simply put, Nick had his way of doing things, just like I have mine,

1:15:331:15:37

and you have yours.

1:15:371:15:40

But I invite you now to listen as I pay tribute to his life

1:15:421:15:45

and his memory.

1:15:451:15:47

Nick lived an interesting life.

1:15:511:15:54

To his family, his friends,

1:15:541:15:56

he added much.

1:15:561:15:58

You always knew when he was in the room.

1:15:581:16:00

Larger than life, not always ready to agree with you,

1:16:001:16:04

but always, always an experience to be around.

1:16:041:16:08

Unforgettable is the way I would describe him.

1:16:091:16:12

Taken from us far too early, leaving us before we truly

1:16:121:16:16

got to understand and appreciate him as much as I know Dot did.

1:16:161:16:20

We can't even begin to imagine the grief

1:16:221:16:24

and devastation that Dot is bravely facing at this moment.

1:16:241:16:28

It's at these times, when we are at our lowest, that we need

1:16:291:16:33

the bosom of our family and friends.

1:16:331:16:36

And I want to say to Nick, not to worry,

1:16:361:16:40

that we are here for his mum - all of us -

1:16:401:16:44

and we will help her get through this.

1:16:441:16:47

I know that a light has gone out in Dot's life,

1:16:471:16:50

and all we have left now is a memory of a man

1:16:501:16:54

and son who didn't deserve to go before his time.

1:16:541:16:59

Ladies and gentlemen - Nick Cotton.

1:17:011:17:03

We have entrusted Nick to God's mercy,

1:17:151:17:19

and we now commit his body to be cremated.

1:17:191:17:22

Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust...

1:17:221:17:27

In sure and certain hope of the resurrection

1:17:281:17:31

to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ,

1:17:311:17:36

who will transform our frail bodies that they may be conformed

1:17:361:17:40

to his glorious body,

1:17:401:17:41

who died, was buried, and rose again for us.

1:17:411:17:47

To him be glory forever. Amen.

1:17:471:17:51

Amen.

1:17:511:17:53

TV IS ON

1:17:581:17:59

-SWITCHES OFF TV

-Billy's right. You will need someone.

1:17:591:18:03

I know. But he's so embarrassing.

1:18:031:18:06

I mean, he hasn't got the look, he hasn't got the voice,

1:18:061:18:08

he hasn't got the charm.

1:18:081:18:10

He's not really what I'm about.

1:18:101:18:11

All right, OK, say you could pick anyone, who would it be?

1:18:111:18:16

Young or old?

1:18:181:18:19

Young.

1:18:191:18:21

Male or female?

1:18:211:18:22

Prefer a girl.

1:18:231:18:25

Got anyone in mind?

1:18:261:18:27

All condolences, Mrs Branning,

1:18:391:18:41

but please do come in and make yourself right at home.

1:18:411:18:44

Your favourite tipple, Mrs Branning.

1:18:441:18:46

No. It's not my favourite tipple. It's just medicinal.

1:18:461:18:50

But I think I'll have it today.

1:18:501:18:54

Just the one. Thank you.

1:18:541:18:57

That was really moving, Ian.

1:18:571:18:59

-Really?

-Mm-hm.

-Oh, thanks. Well...

1:18:591:19:01

I spoke from the heart.

1:19:011:19:03

To think I was worried for a second.

1:19:031:19:04

Oh, Ian. You did him proud today.

1:19:041:19:07

I shall never forget them words of yours.

1:19:071:19:10

We didn't really meet in the best circumstances. Charlie.

1:19:121:19:15

-Hi, I'm Ronnie.

-Ah. So YOU'RE Ronnie.

1:19:151:19:18

Is that good or bad?

1:19:181:19:20

That's good.

1:19:201:19:21

Dot thinks the world of you.

1:19:211:19:23

I'm glad you were there for her when she heard the news.

1:19:231:19:25

-Well, I'm glad you were there to take care of Dot.

-Thanks.

1:19:251:19:28

Thanks. You were a gent back there.

1:19:311:19:33

Well, couldn't have you crying all over me, could I?

1:19:331:19:36

So did the future ever arrive?

1:19:361:19:38

Yeah, yeah, it has.

1:19:381:19:41

I think it's about looking inside yourself...

1:19:411:19:43

Dex, you tried these prawn sandwiches?

1:19:431:19:48

They'll be repeating later...

1:19:481:19:50

Nice one, Nan. Thanks.

1:19:501:19:52

I've always seen myself as a speech giver.

1:19:521:19:54

To be honest, I think I should've run for Parliament.

1:19:541:19:57

Weren't the biggest turn out, was it?

1:19:571:19:58

-Some people just can't be bothered, can they?

-Dorothy.

1:19:581:20:01

Hey, listen, where's your sister?

1:20:011:20:03

Banned. Deemed inappropriate.

1:20:031:20:06

I've always had a knack with words...

1:20:061:20:08

Dorothy, I just wanted to say...

1:20:081:20:10

I've got these new boots on, my feet are killing me.

1:20:101:20:12

I THOUGHT I saw you limping.

1:20:121:20:14

Dorothy, please...

1:20:141:20:16

So, what was your favourite bit?

1:20:161:20:18

Yeah, it was a good speech, that, Ian.

1:20:181:20:20

Give that back. That's theft.

1:20:201:20:22

What's it say here?

1:20:221:20:24

-"www.moving-speeches.com"

-Phil...

1:20:241:20:26

What did you do? Feed the dead geezer's name in

1:20:261:20:28

and they do the rest? Is that how it works is it?

1:20:281:20:30

I knew it, I flaming well knew it.

1:20:301:20:31

-I thought you said it was from the heart, Ian?

-It was.

1:20:311:20:34

-Yeah, only not yours.

-Ian?

-Taking all the credit, eh?

1:20:341:20:36

What was I supposed to do?

1:20:361:20:38

-You could've been a bit more honest about it.

-Honest?

1:20:381:20:41

What, you really think so? I don't...

1:20:411:20:42

Lost for words now, ain't you?

1:20:441:20:45

Has everybody forgotten him already?

1:20:451:20:48

Only, I ain't heard a word about my Nick.

1:20:481:20:50

No-one's ever mentioned his name.

1:20:501:20:51

I know that none of you really knew him.

1:20:511:20:55

And you're only here for me, not for him.

1:20:561:20:59

And even the two what DID know him -

1:20:591:21:02

Sharon, Ian - you was babies when he was my dear boy.

1:21:021:21:07

You only really remember him

1:21:091:21:10

when he was taken over by the drugs and everybody shunned him.

1:21:101:21:14

The Prodigal Son.

1:21:151:21:17

And he said, "Father, I am not worthy to be thy son.

1:21:171:21:21

"Make me as one of thy hired servants." And he repented.

1:21:211:21:25

But my Nick, he never repented.

1:21:251:21:28

And he didn't come home of his own accord.

1:21:291:21:32

He come home in a coffin.

1:21:331:21:35

Charlie. Take me home, Charlie.

1:21:411:21:44

I'm sorry. It's all over.

1:21:441:21:47

It's finished. Give me that! How dare you!

1:21:471:21:50

-Charlie...

-Yeah.

1:21:521:21:53

Oh... Leave me alone.

1:22:011:22:03

-You serious?

-Yeah.

1:22:141:22:17

Lauren, oi!

1:22:171:22:19

Turn it off, will you! You're going to run the flaming battery down!

1:22:191:22:21

Sorry! It's not like I'm doing it for free or anything!

1:22:211:22:24

MUSIC BLARES ON RADIO

LAUREN TURNS RADIO OFF

1:22:321:22:34

Well, there's always Billy.

1:22:481:22:49

You know, the last time I saw my Nick, we had a terrible row.

1:22:541:22:58

We parted on very bad terms.

1:22:581:23:01

I wanted the funeral to put it right.

1:23:011:23:03

You couldn't have done any more.

1:23:031:23:06

I wanted to say sorry.

1:23:061:23:10

To his face.

1:23:101:23:11

Take me to him.

1:23:131:23:15

-You've put him to rest now.

-I want to see his face!

1:23:151:23:18

But he'll be gone!

1:23:181:23:20

No. No, they won't do it until the end of the day.

1:23:201:23:23

We could still be in time.

1:23:231:23:25

I don't know why you're all looking at me? It wasn't just my fault.

1:23:281:23:30

-Who else's fault was it, then, eh?

-I bet you're loving this!

1:23:301:23:33

-It was all of us.

-Well, I was there for Dot!

1:23:331:23:35

Unlike some who didn't even turn up on time.

1:23:351:23:37

Not for the want of trying, Shirley.

1:23:371:23:39

What were you thinking, you idiot?

1:23:391:23:41

What was I thinking!? He didn't help.

1:23:411:23:42

-I was showing you up for who you really are.

-Enough.

1:23:421:23:45

At least I got up there. At least I tried.

1:23:451:23:47

Why did you have to go and do that to him?

1:23:491:23:51

-Oh, don't you start!

-Well, I am starting.

1:23:511:23:53

All right, we've had a bit of a moment,

1:23:531:23:55

-let's not make it any worse.

-You see what you've done?

1:23:551:23:58

You know what? I don't even want to be here.

1:23:581:24:01

We can resurrect this. Why don't you stay, pay your respects...

1:24:011:24:05

Think about Nick Cotton?

1:24:051:24:06

Mick's right, you know...

1:24:061:24:08

Shut up, Patrick! You weren't even there!

1:24:081:24:10

That's all her fault, not mine!

1:24:101:24:11

If you'd really cared, you'd have gone regardless!

1:24:111:24:15

-What are we going to do now, eh?

-I have no clue...

1:24:151:24:18

Oh, that's it, Sharon, go on, run off!

1:24:181:24:20

I'm off to see Dot. Show her we care.

1:24:201:24:22

-Bit late for that now, ain't it?

-Hardly appropriate, girls, is it?

1:24:221:24:25

Best I leave now, before it gets very inappropriate!

1:24:251:24:29

The idea ain't to scare people off, you know, Shirley.

1:24:291:24:32

Denise, enough, please.

1:24:321:24:36

Patrick, we need to do something. We're here to honour someone...

1:24:361:24:39

I think we missed the moment.

1:24:391:24:42

-First drink on the house?

-I think it's a bit late for that, Linda.

1:24:421:24:45

I think I'm going to go and see how she is.

1:24:451:24:48

-Don't everyone go...

-I'd like to propose a toast.

1:24:481:24:51

-Nan, please don't.

-To the lovely people of Walford.

1:24:511:24:55

But I want to say sorry to him in my own way.

1:25:131:25:16

-The right way. Get the car, Charlie.

-You'll only get more upset.

1:25:161:25:20

I want to see him like I should have done when he was here.

1:25:201:25:23

-They're not going to allow it.

-All right, then, I'll drive myself.

1:25:231:25:26

Listen. He's not there!

1:25:261:25:27

Not any more.

1:25:311:25:33

Not really. He's gone...

1:25:331:25:36

To a better place.

1:25:361:25:38

DOOR OPENS

1:25:381:25:39

Mrs B, I just wanted to say sorry about what happened...

1:25:411:25:44

Out of my way.

1:25:441:25:47

-Where is she going?

-She wants the coffin opened.

1:25:471:25:50

-What? You can't let her do that!

-How do I stop her?

1:25:501:25:54

Do you know? Because I don't!

1:25:541:25:56

She was just upset.

1:25:581:26:02

She didn't mean it.

1:26:021:26:06

I did what she asked, I just don't get it.

1:26:061:26:09

But she's just raw.

1:26:091:26:11

You know, she don't know what she's saying.

1:26:111:26:13

In fact, she was reaching out.

1:26:131:26:18

-And we were all to blame.

-No.

1:26:181:26:20

That was me.

1:26:221:26:24

I'm the one who's let her down.

1:26:241:26:28

I tried.

1:26:281:26:31

I really tried.

1:26:311:26:33

SQUELCHING

1:26:361:26:38

What's that noise?

1:26:401:26:42

I got my foot wet.

1:26:421:26:45

Lauren, don't get the carpet all wet, will you?

1:26:451:26:48

PHONE RINGS

1:26:481:26:50

Hi, have you got a minute?

1:26:521:26:54

Hello, Deals on Wheels. Oh, yeah, you all right, John?

1:26:541:26:57

Can you run me through those figures, please, mate?

1:26:571:26:59

I just wanted to ask you something. You saw my web page, right?

1:26:591:27:03

Yeah, I loved it.

1:27:031:27:04

OK. Well, obviously, I want to give letting properties a go.

1:27:041:27:08

And Billy said I couldn't do it on my own.

1:27:081:27:10

-And he's right.

-What, so you're teaming up with Billy?

1:27:101:27:14

No, are you kidding? I want to team up with you.

1:27:141:27:18

Me?

1:27:181:27:19

What do I know about letting flats?

1:27:191:27:22

Well, I'll teach you.

1:27:221:27:24

All right, mate. No worries, I'll call you back. Cheers.

1:27:241:27:26

Just think about it, we could be the two LBs.

1:27:261:27:29

That's an omen right there.

1:27:291:27:31

Yeah, thanks and everything, but I mean, I can't even do this right...

1:27:311:27:35

Yeah, I mean, I've got to say, she has got a point.

1:27:351:27:37

What do you know?

1:27:371:27:39

Seriously, Lucy, you'd be better off with Billy.

1:27:391:27:43

I brought it in for you.

1:27:591:28:01

So, what's in the package?

1:28:041:28:06

Come on, Sharon, I did you a favour.

1:28:081:28:11

Do you want me to pat you on the back and say, "Well done"?

1:28:111:28:13

So, it's all still down to me, is it?

1:28:131:28:15

Well, I didn't see anyone else waving a speech around.

1:28:151:28:18

Yeah, I didn't see you till halfway through the funeral,

1:28:181:28:20

so don't start taking it out on me.

1:28:201:28:22

I was going to make Dot guest of honour at the opening.

1:28:221:28:24

I was even going to get her to cut a ribbon.

1:28:241:28:27

She won't come within a million miles of the place now.

1:28:271:28:29

Good, she ain't bought a drink in years, has she?

1:28:291:28:32

Anyway, I did my bit, didn't I? Turned up, so now you owe me.

1:28:321:28:37

-I owe you?

-A promise is a promise.

1:28:371:28:40

Well, maybe you should try Shirley.

1:28:401:28:43

You think I didn't see you two cosying up in the crematorium?

1:28:431:28:46

-What are you talking about?

-Women notice everything.

1:28:461:28:49

-She came and sat down next to me.

-All that space and she ends up there?

1:28:491:28:52

What was I supposed to do, shove her away? She was crying.

1:28:521:28:55

Aw... Poor Shirley!

1:28:551:28:57

She was remembering Heather. I couldn't just slide away, could I?

1:28:571:29:01

You know, if I thought for one second that you still liked Shirley...

1:29:031:29:06

I mean, seriously, there's the bottom of the barrel,

1:29:081:29:11

and then there's her underneath it. So...

1:29:111:29:15

So, see this, this is us, Phil. You got that?

1:29:181:29:23

It's you and me and no-one else.

1:29:231:29:26

Say something.

1:29:281:29:30

The Albert.

1:29:301:29:32

Do you like it?

1:29:321:29:34

PHIL CHUCKLES

1:29:341:29:37

-I love it.

-You sure?

1:29:371:29:41

And I love who's holding it as well.

1:29:411:29:44

Later.

1:29:441:29:46

-Where are you going now?

-To sort your mess.

1:29:481:29:51

Tell me if you can't do this. I won't mind.

1:29:571:29:59

We can go back.

1:29:591:30:00

Oh!

1:30:001:30:02

I have to say, Mrs Branning,

1:30:031:30:06

this is the first time I've ever heard a request like this.

1:30:061:30:09

Unfortunately...

1:30:091:30:10

No, he ain't. No, I can sense him, he's waiting for me.

1:30:101:30:15

If you'd like to give me a minute.

1:30:171:30:20

-Is this one of your jokes?

-I wish it was.

1:30:251:30:27

And I know what you're going to say, but there was no stopping her.

1:30:271:30:30

They wouldn't allow it, they couldn't!

1:30:301:30:32

You say that now, but we know Mrs B when she wants something, don't we?

1:30:321:30:35

Yeah.

1:30:351:30:38

Mrs Branning?

1:30:471:30:49

DOT SOBS

1:31:031:31:06

Johnny?

1:31:131:31:15

Earlier, when I said you were, you know...

1:31:151:31:18

..with that builder... I don't know why I said what I did.

1:31:181:31:21

-I do.

-Now, Johnny...

-I'm not doing this, Mum! I'm not!

1:31:211:31:25

DOT SOBS

1:31:351:31:38

I'm so sorry...

1:31:381:31:41

I wanted to see him...

1:31:411:31:44

I never said goodbye to him...

1:31:441:31:46

You were there for him.

1:31:481:31:50

-Was I?

-You know you were.

1:31:501:31:52

And, more importantly,

1:31:541:31:57

Dad knew it as well.

1:31:571:31:59

DOT CRIES

1:32:051:32:09

I'm off to see Patrick.

1:32:161:32:20

Look, don't worry about it, it'll work itself out.

1:32:201:32:23

I was just going to see Dot,

1:32:261:32:28

wondered if anyone wanted to come with me?

1:32:281:32:30

Good luck with that.

1:32:301:32:33

Are you coming?

1:32:361:32:38

-Ian.

-No! OK?

1:32:401:32:43

We need to get the name sorted for the restaurant and the sign ordered.

1:32:431:32:46

We open in less than a month.

1:32:461:32:48

Ian, I've told you that needs to be a joint decision.

1:32:481:32:50

You can't do that without me.

1:32:501:32:52

Oh, dear, what's he done now?

1:32:521:32:54

The restaurant name.

1:32:541:32:56

Why don't you just do what I did with my company

1:32:561:32:59

and name it after yourself?

1:32:591:33:00

Beale's. There, problem solved.

1:33:001:33:04

-Well, I suppose it's all right.

-I like it.

1:33:081:33:11

Yeah, I bet you do!

1:33:111:33:12

Right, now we've finally decided on that,

1:33:121:33:14

-there's no reason you can't come and see Dot.

-No, I'm staying put.

1:33:141:33:17

Ian.

1:33:191:33:20

We'll save these for the next family picnic. What do you reckon?

1:33:251:33:28

MICK CHUCKLES

1:33:281:33:30

-Your mum...

-She send you in here?

1:33:311:33:33

Well, funnily enough, sometimes I do have my own thoughts.

1:33:361:33:39

And I'm having one right now.

1:33:391:33:42

And it's about you and it's about your mother...

1:33:421:33:45

and it's about the fact that I can't tell either of you how to behave.

1:33:451:33:48

Because I respect you both too much for that.

1:33:481:33:50

However...

1:33:531:33:55

I don't like an unhappy home.

1:33:571:34:00

I don't do friction.

1:34:001:34:02

I had enough of that with the old man.

1:34:041:34:06

So, I was hoping just...

1:34:061:34:09

you know, maybe one of you could do me a massive favour

1:34:091:34:13

and offer the old branch of the olive, you know?

1:34:131:34:18

Of course, that's going to take the more mature of the two.

1:34:201:34:23

Yeah. That ain't Mum, is it?

1:34:231:34:27

Which is why I'm standing in this kitchen.

1:34:271:34:29

No, it hurts, Dad.

1:34:311:34:33

The things she says.

1:34:331:34:36

I know.

1:34:361:34:37

I've got to be the adult, even though I did nothing wrong?

1:34:371:34:41

I'll leave that for you to decide. There's no pressure.

1:34:411:34:44

I'm sure you'll make the right decision.

1:34:441:34:46

That's not fair, that is total pressure, Dad. That is manipulation.

1:34:461:34:49

Ah! Can't believe you saw through me!

1:34:491:34:53

You are going to make one blinding little lawyer one day.

1:34:531:34:55

You know that, don't you?

1:34:551:34:57

Oh, no, thanks.

1:35:171:35:18

I haven't since I was a teenager behind the bike sheds.

1:35:181:35:21

You been over there yet?

1:35:261:35:29

No, I was just on my way now.

1:35:291:35:30

Got no idea what to say, though.

1:35:321:35:34

What if she never forgives us?

1:35:371:35:39

Then I will never forgive Ian.

1:35:411:35:43

Same goes for Phil.

1:35:441:35:46

Yeah. You're right.

1:35:481:35:51

I'll never forgive him either.

1:35:511:35:54

And you heard me say that.

1:35:541:35:56

Come on, Patrick, cheer up.

1:36:061:36:09

It'll all blow over.

1:36:091:36:11

Maybe you should leave him be for now.

1:36:111:36:13

Come on!

1:36:131:36:15

Put a smile on your miserable mug.

1:36:151:36:18

Leave it.

1:36:181:36:20

Patrick, lighten up!

1:36:201:36:23

Stop it.

1:36:231:36:25

I really wouldn't push it, Cora.

1:36:251:36:27

What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?

1:36:271:36:30

I SAID, STOP IT!

1:36:301:36:32

You know, you're a hard, thoughtless woman and I've had enough of you.

1:36:341:36:38

As soon as you've found somewhere to live, I want you to move out.

1:36:381:36:41

Now, if you'll excuse me I want to visit Dorothy,

1:36:411:36:45

because she's somebody who I do care about.

1:36:451:36:49

I did warn you.

1:36:591:37:01

So, basically, I've collected all the contacts from Butcher's Joints

1:37:031:37:07

-and various other bits of data.

-How did you do that?

1:37:071:37:09

Because I'm resourceful, that's what any new business needs.

1:37:091:37:13

You two? Seriously?

1:37:131:37:16

And these here are the names of all the property owners

1:37:161:37:19

that Janine had in her pending file,

1:37:191:37:21

so we just jump in there and broker all the deals.

1:37:211:37:24

Billy, I'd like to remind you, you work for me, not for her.

1:37:241:37:26

-Just ignore him.

-Fine, ignore me.

1:37:261:37:29

I'm sure it'll be a great success.

1:37:291:37:32

She don't need no double-glazing, thank you.

1:37:341:37:36

I'm here to see Dot.

1:37:361:37:38

-She ain't in.

-Then I'll go in and wait.

1:37:381:37:41

I wouldn't.

1:37:411:37:44

Shirley, maybe for once, this isn't about you and me.

1:37:441:37:47

I'm here for the same reason as you.

1:37:471:37:49

To make up for earlier.

1:37:491:37:51

Yeah, well, I'd still rather you waited out here.

1:37:511:37:53

Look, Shirley, why don't we just leave it, eh?

1:37:531:37:55

Fine. Have it your way. I'll come back later.

1:37:581:38:01

I hate goodbyes.

1:38:011:38:03

I don't know anyone who doesn't.

1:38:051:38:07

And I hate funerals.

1:38:071:38:09

Can't believe I'm agreeing with you.

1:38:091:38:11

All I could think about during that ceremony was Hev.

1:38:111:38:14

Where is she now,

1:38:151:38:19

and what happens to you when you finally shuffle off?

1:38:191:38:22

I'd love to see her again.

1:38:241:38:27

There's a few people I'd like to see an' all.

1:38:271:38:30

You put heart and soul into living and...

1:38:301:38:34

..in the end, it's not even worth it.

1:38:341:38:37

Well, maybe you should ditch the fags,

1:38:371:38:39

you'll be shuffling off before your time.

1:38:391:38:42

Was that concern I hear in your voice?

1:38:421:38:44

You're hearing things.

1:38:441:38:45

Do you ever wonder what your life would be like

1:38:471:38:50

if Dennis was still alive?

1:38:501:38:52

Dennis is none of your business.

1:38:521:38:55

It'd be different, though, wouldn't it?

1:38:551:38:57

You wouldn't be with Phil, that's for sure.

1:38:571:38:59

-And you would?

-Who knows?

1:38:591:39:02

No chance. I'll tell you that for nothing.

1:39:021:39:04

Was he like Phil?

1:39:041:39:07

Dennis?

1:39:071:39:08

I'm just asking.

1:39:081:39:10

He...

1:39:121:39:13

He was a good man.

1:39:131:39:16

It's always the good ones that go first, isn't it?

1:39:161:39:20

It's funny.

1:39:201:39:23

You meet someone else.

1:39:231:39:26

Someone completely different.

1:39:261:39:29

Me and Phil go way back. We've always had something special.

1:39:291:39:33

So, sorry to disappoint you, Shirley, I'm hanging on to him.

1:39:351:39:37

You do that.

1:39:371:39:39

Because I ain't interested.

1:39:391:39:44

I'm allowed in now, am I?

1:39:451:39:48

Well, we can be civil, can't we?

1:39:481:39:51

For now.

1:39:511:39:53

-I thought you promised us dinner?

-You still up for that?

1:40:041:40:08

Yeah. I mean, I've got a load of studying to do tonight,

1:40:081:40:10

but I'm up for it.

1:40:101:40:13

And... I managed to nick this back off you.

1:40:131:40:16

Don't open it till Sunday.

1:40:161:40:18

Course I won't!

1:40:181:40:20

-Here you are. Listen to this.

-Cheers.

1:40:321:40:34

Fatboy's just been in.

1:40:341:40:36

He said that Dot has gone back to the crematorium to see Nick.

1:40:361:40:40

-Like, physically see Nick.

-Did he try and stop her?

1:40:401:40:42

I don't know.

1:40:421:40:44

You weren't there, Roxy.

1:40:451:40:48

The crematorium was practically empty.

1:40:481:40:51

Everything about it was just awful.

1:40:511:40:54

Well, I'll forgive Dot for losing the plot, then.

1:40:541:40:57

She didn't lose the plot.

1:40:571:40:59

Everything she said was absolutely right.

1:40:591:41:03

And why not go back and see him if she wants to?

1:41:031:41:07

Letting go is the hardest thing you'll ever have to do.

1:41:071:41:10

You know what, maybe you shouldn't have gone today.

1:41:101:41:12

I know, I just thought maybe I could help in some way,

1:41:121:41:15

maybe say something that would...

1:41:151:41:16

But you can't! You can't, can you? There's nothing...

1:41:161:41:19

There's just nothing that helps. I know, I've tried.

1:41:191:41:22

I'm going to go.

1:41:221:41:24

Where you going?

1:41:241:41:25

-Come on, Ron.

-"Come on, Ron", what?

1:41:271:41:30

-You're going to see Stacey.

-Actually...

1:41:301:41:32

I thought you were going to drop all of this.

1:41:321:41:34

It's my birthday tomorrow, yeah?

1:41:361:41:38

So, if you were stuck on what to get me for a gift,

1:41:381:41:40

you could leave her well alone.

1:41:401:41:42

Now, that, that would be the perfect present, Ron.

1:41:421:41:45

I am going to see Dot, going to see if she's back yet.

1:41:451:41:50

Look, I'm not going to see Stacey. I promise!

1:41:501:41:55

Just stop worrying, all right? I'll see you later.

1:41:551:41:58

ROXY SIGHS

1:42:011:42:03

DOORBELL RINGS

1:42:211:42:23

Kids are meant to love their dad, right?

1:42:271:42:28

That's what you're supposed to do?

1:42:281:42:31

I suppose...

1:42:311:42:32

Right, well, I'm officially not loving him. Just so you know.

1:42:321:42:35

Come on, Luce?

1:42:351:42:37

The worst thing is that he's right.

1:42:371:42:39

I can't work with Billy Mitchell. It's a stupid idea.

1:42:391:42:43

-Then just don't do it.

-But I need someone!

1:42:431:42:46

You interested?

1:42:461:42:48

I mean, the whole thing's dead now, anyway.

1:42:481:42:50

So there's no point.

1:42:501:42:52

So, what, you're just going to give up after half a day?

1:42:521:42:57

If that's you, Luce, then you're right to stop.

1:42:571:43:00

That's not you, is it?

1:43:001:43:02

Well, someone say something?

1:43:161:43:19

-Well, I think sorry might be...

-Yeah, that's a good start, yeah.

1:43:191:43:23

And after that?

1:43:231:43:25

-Assuming she doesn't throw us out.

-Patrick?

1:43:251:43:27

What did you want to hear, when you first lost your Paul?

1:43:291:43:32

-His voice.

-But knowing you couldn't have that?

1:43:321:43:35

Didn't want anything.

1:43:361:43:39

You're right. You just want them back.

1:43:391:43:41

-That's the only thing in your head.

-But you just keep going, don't you?

1:43:411:43:44

Yep. I've got a sister.

1:43:441:43:47

-And I've got friends.

-Yeah. Is it enough?

1:43:471:43:49

It's never enough.

1:43:491:43:51

You too?

1:43:511:43:53

'Fraid so.

1:43:531:43:54

Don't get me wrong, I mean, I've very glad I've got you all.

1:43:541:43:58

Right, that's what we're going to do, then.

1:44:001:44:04

Offer what we can.

1:44:041:44:06

I'll go with that.

1:44:061:44:07

The main thing is that we don't leave

1:44:071:44:09

until we do what we came to do.

1:44:091:44:11

Totally agree.

1:44:111:44:14

So, when she asks why we're all here...

1:44:141:44:17

We just tell her.

1:44:171:44:20

Yeah. Plain and simple.

1:44:201:44:22

We're her friends.

1:44:221:44:24

It's ruined!

1:44:281:44:29

Well, you'll be able to buy plenty more soon enough.

1:44:291:44:32

You still want me?

1:44:321:44:34

Your dad's an idiot.

1:44:341:44:35

No, but he's not, though, is he? That's the whole point.

1:44:351:44:38

He's smart, Lucy, he knows stuff!

1:44:381:44:39

Come on, Lauren, this could be amazing!

1:44:391:44:41

I'm not going to fail, despite what everyone says,

1:44:411:44:44

this is going to work.

1:44:441:44:46

So, are you with me or not?

1:44:461:44:49

Mrs B... How did it, um...

1:44:571:45:01

Cup of tea?

1:45:011:45:02

Of course, it's just... I should...

1:45:021:45:05

That's not burning food you can smell. It's not.

1:45:241:45:26

It's not! It just seems that way.

1:45:261:45:30

They'll all be back, Mick, don't you worry about that.

1:45:301:45:33

Worry, L? Me? You know me better than that.

1:45:331:45:37

Was just wondering where Shirl's got to.

1:45:371:45:39

ALARM BEEPS

1:45:421:45:44

So sorry, Dot. We didn't want to surprise you.

1:45:441:45:47

But we couldn't just keep away.

1:45:471:45:48

So, you think that makes it better, do you, Sharon?

1:45:481:45:51

Well, I doubt my Nick would want you here,

1:45:511:45:54

so I suggest that you all go.

1:45:541:45:58

Dot, we messed up!

1:45:581:46:00

We turned out for you, Dot, I'm sorry we forgot Nick.

1:46:001:46:04

Well, in some ways it's understandable.

1:46:041:46:06

I mean, he wasn't everyone's favourite person, was he?

1:46:061:46:09

But he was your favourite person,

1:46:091:46:12

and we didn't give you or him enough respect.

1:46:121:46:14

We should have seen him through your eyes, not ours.

1:46:141:46:18

Bit late to come to that conclusion, ain't it?

1:46:181:46:21

No, Dot.

1:46:211:46:23

We're not here hoping that you'd forgive us, I mean, why should you?

1:46:231:46:26

It's just that if you could find something, anything at all

1:46:261:46:30

that was good about today, then we'd all like to share it.

1:46:301:46:35

So, you've come round here on the off chance of salvaging something?

1:46:351:46:39

-Well, you can't.

-Dot, please...

1:46:391:46:42

Sharing him weren't what I really wanted.

1:46:421:46:46

Because he was my Nick.

1:46:461:46:48

Nobody else's.

1:46:481:46:51

He was my Nick.

1:46:511:46:53

We're not going, Dot.

1:46:551:46:58

We're not, Dot.

1:46:581:47:00

-Dorothy.

-We're sorry.

1:47:001:47:04

And we're sorry that we can't think of anything else to say.

1:47:041:47:07

Arthur.

1:47:121:47:14

Put the kettle on?

1:47:141:47:17

We've got company.

1:47:171:47:18

-Are you sure about this?

-Yes!

1:47:251:47:27

You're definitely 100% sure?

1:47:271:47:29

Do you want to wash cars for the rest of your life?

1:47:291:47:32

All right, well, if you think that I can do it.

1:47:321:47:35

YES!

1:47:351:47:37

Celebrating?

1:47:371:47:39

Yes. Yes, we are.

1:47:391:47:41

I'll have a lemonade and whatever my partner's having.

1:47:411:47:44

Orange juice, please.

1:47:441:47:47

Luce, I made those calls...

1:47:471:47:49

And there's seven possibles who want to rent out their properties out.

1:47:491:47:53

-Oh, Billy's involved?

-Yeah.

-No.

1:47:531:47:56

What do you mean, no?

1:47:561:47:58

No. I thought it was a good idea but... No.

1:48:001:48:03

Thanks.

1:48:031:48:05

My dad might need somebody.

1:48:051:48:08

Back to frying chips, eh?

1:48:081:48:10

Let's hope it don't blow up in your face.

1:48:101:48:12

Thank you. Cheers!

1:48:161:48:19

Come on, Nan, you know he didn't mean it.

1:48:451:48:49

We don't need him anyway.

1:48:491:48:50

Erm, we?

1:48:501:48:53

I'm not leaving without you, Dexter.

1:48:531:48:55

-So, you sticking around?

-Yeah, I think so.

1:49:051:49:08

Maybe see you later.

1:49:081:49:10

How about definitely? We'll grab a drink one night.

1:49:101:49:15

Yeah, we could.

1:49:151:49:17

I don't like this. Lying to her, seeing how upset she is.

1:49:251:49:28

How do you think I feel?

1:49:281:49:29

Look, take this and we say no more.

1:49:301:49:34

I understand.

1:49:401:49:42

It's done.

1:49:551:49:56

What makes you think you're welcome back in this pub?

1:50:041:50:07

-I invited her!

-Calm down, Shirley, or I'll have to hose you down again.

1:50:071:50:10

Try it, Tosh, and I'll shove that hose somewhere where you don't want it.

1:50:101:50:14

-Can't you two just try and get on?

-BOTH:

-No!

1:50:141:50:16

The weird thing is, I quite like it.

1:50:181:50:22

What, your family ripping chunks out of each other?

1:50:221:50:24

Turn it down, Nance! I'm trying to write an essay!

1:50:241:50:27

Shut up, you little boffin!

1:50:271:50:28

Yeah, feels like a proper home.

1:50:281:50:32

You're an old softy, Mick Carter.

1:50:321:50:34

-Do what?

-You heard.

1:50:351:50:37

KNOCK ON DOOR

1:50:411:50:44

Someone else will get it. Come here.

1:50:451:50:48

SHE LAUGHS

1:50:481:50:50

PHONE RINGS

1:50:501:50:51

Oh! You get the phone.

1:50:511:50:53

PHONE RINGS

1:50:531:50:55

KNOCK ON DOOR

1:50:551:50:57

Hello?

1:51:021:51:03

Yes?

1:51:031:51:04

Sorry, I'm not interested.

1:51:071:51:09

KNOCK ON DOOR

1:51:151:51:16

All right, all right!

1:51:161:51:17

-Oh.

-The agency are only sending them here!

1:51:231:51:27

-Who?

-The bar staff. For my interviews.

1:51:271:51:30

I mean, seriously, The Albert and the Queen Vic - hardly the same place!

1:51:301:51:34

I even got the sign up today, and all!

1:51:341:51:35

I mean, I swear they've done this on purpose

1:51:351:51:37

because I was haggling over fees.

1:51:371:51:40

Wait a minute - you're calling it The Albert?

1:51:401:51:42

-Yeah. Yeah, didn't I mention it?

-No.

1:51:421:51:45

Well, anyway, I'd cancel the whole thing

1:51:451:51:47

but we're opening next week and I've got to get contracts sorted.

1:51:471:51:49

Look, I'm sorry to ask, Linda, but would you mind sending them

1:51:491:51:52

round the corner for me?

1:51:521:51:54

Why bother?

1:51:541:51:55

-Do the interviews here.

-Here?

1:51:551:51:57

Why not? There's more space. Nobody hammering in the background.

1:51:571:52:01

If they really mess up, they can stick around and drown their sorrows.

1:52:011:52:04

Thank you, Linda. You are such a mate. Cheers.

1:52:041:52:08

Well, you did ask him.

1:52:131:52:15

Yeah, well, I'm going to ask his opinion as well.

1:52:151:52:19

Dad, what do you reckon about this?

1:52:211:52:24

Yeah, for what?

1:52:241:52:26

Well, we're going to the bank to ask for a loan.

1:52:261:52:29

-Right, so you're going to go through with that, are you?

-Yeah, why wouldn't we?

1:52:291:52:33

All we need is a bit of start-up capital for a solicitor's fee and marketing material.

1:52:331:52:37

-Paperclips and that.

-Yeah. No, you look... nice.

1:52:371:52:42

Nice? Max, appearance is important.

1:52:421:52:46

Maybe you'd sell a few more cars if you looked a little less crumpled.

1:52:461:52:51

-Sorry?

-You know what they say about owners and their dogs?

1:52:521:52:56

I'm not being funny, Dad,

1:52:561:52:57

but you do look a lot more like Tramp these days!

1:52:571:52:59

Lauren, I'm just about to make two grand for dropping

1:52:591:53:01

a motor off in Wanstead.

1:53:011:53:03

So don't worry about me. Worry about what you're going to do

1:53:031:53:06

-when the bank manager laughs in your face.

-Dad!

1:53:061:53:08

Banks don't give money to anyone, do they?

1:53:081:53:10

You ain't got no assets, Lauren. And you've hardly even had a proper job. Think about it.

1:53:101:53:14

Do you know what, he's got a point.

1:53:171:53:19

This is clearly a bad idea.

1:53:191:53:21

Don't say that!

1:53:211:53:22

I'm not being funny, Lucy, but look at me.

1:53:221:53:24

I don't know nothing about business - you've done this all before.

1:53:241:53:27

Not like this! We are starting our own company from scratch.

1:53:271:53:30

Which is ridiculous.

1:53:301:53:32

Lauren, you're creative, you're intelligent.

1:53:321:53:36

And you're my best friend and I really need you.

1:53:381:53:40

We just need to...

1:53:421:53:45

tweak your image a little bit.

1:53:451:53:47

Bill. Bill.

1:53:531:53:56

Do you know what, I'm going to start calling you that from now on.

1:53:561:53:59

I'm just the messenger.

1:53:591:54:01

What's she doing in here? We ain't even open yet.

1:54:011:54:04

I said she could do a couple of interviews.

1:54:041:54:06

Why is she letting a competitor interview staff in our pub?

1:54:061:54:09

Have you seen the books lately?

1:54:091:54:11

-We in trouble?

-If L says it's all right for Sharon to be here,

1:54:111:54:14

it's all right for Sharon to be here.

1:54:141:54:16

Sorry I hosed you down.

1:54:261:54:28

Shouldn't you be at work?

1:54:281:54:29

Day off. Thought I'd come and see my favourite lady.

1:54:291:54:34

Don't worry, we're off out later.

1:54:341:54:36

How come Fireman Samantha's sniffing about again?

1:54:361:54:38

I don't know - maybe because she's my girlfriend?

1:54:381:54:40

Will you turn it in, please? We've got bigger things to worry about.

1:54:401:54:43

If that market closes, we'll lose all our punters.

1:54:431:54:46

Then why is Linda giving a helping hand to our biggest rival?

1:54:461:54:48

Like Mick says, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

1:54:481:54:53

It's all part of my master plan.

1:54:531:54:55

Oh, and what's that, then? Show everyone you're a mug?

1:54:551:55:00

Who was that on the phone before?

1:55:001:55:03

Nothing important.

1:55:031:55:05

Something's happened.

1:55:051:55:06

Mick!

1:55:061:55:07

You have one minute to come down here and move that van or I'll get someone to move it for you!

1:55:151:55:20

What is it about men with a little bit of power, eh?

1:55:201:55:23

Could you just... Could you please just let them finish?

1:55:231:55:26

It's just Sharon's really doing my head in about opening night next week.

1:55:261:55:29

I'd really appreciate it.

1:55:291:55:33

All right, for my two favourite ladies.

1:55:331:55:36

-Just tell them to move it when they are finished.

-Thanks.

1:55:361:55:40

-Oh, put your tongue away.

-What? I'm just doing a bit of window shopping.

1:55:411:55:44

Anyway, Amy is at Jack's for the weekend, so...

1:55:441:55:47

What's the plan? For tonight.

1:55:471:55:50

I thought we'll hit the West End, a few bars, and then we'll...

1:55:501:55:53

We were just going for a quiet drink.

1:55:531:55:55

You said don't make a fuss.

1:55:551:55:56

Well, I didn't mean it. It's my birthday.

1:55:561:55:59

We should be out all night.

1:55:591:56:01

Look, we're not 18 any more, Roxy.

1:56:011:56:03

Thank you for reminding me! Thank you.

1:56:031:56:07

Bloke called Brian for you. Says he rang earlier.

1:56:131:56:15

Do you owe him money, then?

1:56:191:56:20

Who's Brian?

1:56:261:56:28

It's my dad's neighbour.

1:56:281:56:30

Reckons the old man's had a fall.

1:56:301:56:31

-Shouldn't you go and see him, then?

-Nah.

1:56:311:56:35

-Look, I ain't your dad's biggest fan either but...

-Well, it's not really my problem.

1:56:351:56:38

Well, thanks for coming. Cheers.

1:56:381:56:40

Oh! I envy you, Linda. Traditional pub, family behind the bar.

1:56:411:56:47

You know, trying to find staff to work for me at The Albert is a nightmare.

1:56:471:56:50

-I can imagine.

-I mean, I need people who can entertain

1:56:501:56:53

sophisticated clientele, you know.

1:56:531:56:55

I mean, here people are happy if you bung them a lukewarm pint and some out-of-date pork scratchings.

1:56:551:56:59

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

1:56:591:57:02

You know, you're traditional, like I said.

1:57:021:57:04

You know, most landlords - they'd have come in here and completely

1:57:041:57:07

modernised the place, they'd have put in a pool table and all sorts.

1:57:071:57:10

But not you.

1:57:101:57:13

Oh, Linda, I just want The Albert to be the best bar in Walford, you know.

1:57:131:57:16

-I've got all these amazing plans.

-Like what?

1:57:161:57:19

Now that would be telling, wouldn't it?

1:57:191:57:23

I thought I told you to refill the optics.

1:57:231:57:27

What's rattled her cage?

1:57:271:57:29

No idea.

1:57:291:57:30

Can I get a vodka and tonic? Double, please.

1:57:321:57:35

-What are we celebrating?

-How old do you think I look?

1:57:351:57:38

Not a day over 21.

1:57:381:57:40

I'm 36. Today.

1:57:401:57:43

Which according to my sister means I'm too old to celebrate.

1:57:431:57:46

No. You're never too old for a party!

1:57:461:57:49

Here you are, start with that. On the house.

1:57:491:57:54

Aw, thank you! Well, at least somebody cares, eh?

1:57:541:57:57

Were you chatting her up?

1:58:011:58:03

Course I'm not! It's Roxy. She's a mate.

1:58:031:58:08

Anyway, it's her sister I want to have a chat with.

1:58:081:58:11

I told you this was a waste of time.

1:58:141:58:16

No, we just need a proper shop.

1:58:161:58:18

You know, somewhere a bit more "young professional".

1:58:181:58:21

But that's hardly me, is it?

1:58:211:58:23

OK, this is the new you.

1:58:231:58:25

Lauren Branning - businesswoman - entrepreneur!

1:58:251:58:28

I didn't know he was still around. Where's he been staying, then?

1:58:281:58:32

The market inspector's.

1:58:321:58:35

How do you know that?

1:58:351:58:36

Dad said.

1:58:361:58:38

Come on, I know somewhere else we can go.

1:58:381:58:41

Jane!

1:58:501:58:51

Hey, are you busy? I was going to cook lunch for...

1:58:531:58:56

Oh, no, sorry, I'm at Ian's all afternoon.

1:58:561:58:58

-Oh? Hot date, yeah?

-No, it's a meeting about the restaurant. We've got the fitters coming round.

1:58:581:59:03

I was only joking. See you later.

1:59:031:59:09

We've only just cleared up from the wake, Tina. It's hardly appropriate.

1:59:091:59:15

A party is just what everyone needs.

1:59:151:59:17

And we've got a load of leftovers in the fridge to use up.

1:59:171:59:20

Think about it, Mick, OK? Load of happy punters, tills ringing...

1:59:201:59:26

I know you're worried about money.

1:59:261:59:28

You know, my name might not be over the door, but I want to help.

1:59:281:59:33

Yeah, why not?

1:59:331:59:34

-I love you.

-I love you.

1:59:371:59:38

All I'm saying is, the vintage look is very fashionable.

1:59:441:59:47

-I thought we'd agreed bright and contemporary.

-Can't we do both?

-It'd be a contradiction.

1:59:471:59:51

Not necessarily. We don't want to come across as sterile.

1:59:511:59:54

Why can't you just trust my vision?

1:59:541:59:57

-Your vision?

-Yeah.

-What about my vision?

-I'm the one who started this restaurant.

1:59:572:00:00

Oh, and how did that go for you?!

2:00:002:00:02

I want my restaurant to be cutting edge. What is wrong with that?

2:00:022:00:05

-Where's the warmth?

-What, you think I can't make a restaurant warm?

2:00:052:00:08

Ian, you wouldn't know warm if I set your trousers on fire!

2:00:082:00:10

You know something, I have really missed this.

2:00:102:00:13

Me too.

2:00:152:00:16

Jane, I didn't mean that!

2:00:222:00:26

Don't even think about following me!

2:00:262:00:28

What, a party?

2:00:322:00:34

Yeah, we'll handle catering, decorations, drinks...

2:00:342:00:37

We'll have a nice bottle of bubbly on ice for when you arrive.

2:00:372:00:41

Yeah, I'm sorry, it's just, it's Roxy's birthday.

2:00:412:00:44

I don't know if she's going to want to spend it at the Vic.

2:00:442:00:47

No? She's sat in there right now. By herself.

2:00:472:00:49

Look, you're her family.

2:00:492:00:51

Don't you want to make sure she's looked after, made a fuss of?

2:00:512:00:54

Where else are you going to get at this notice?

2:00:542:00:56

And you know we throw a naughty party.

2:00:562:00:58

Oh, come on, it'll be fun.

2:00:582:01:00

All right. How much is it going to cost me?

2:01:022:01:05

I'm really sorry, Lucy. When the bank manager said "gross", I thought he meant...

2:01:052:01:10

Don't worry about it. It's just a set back.

2:01:102:01:12

You heard what he said, though!

2:01:122:01:14

"You do not meet our lending criteria."

2:01:142:01:16

I am not giving up, all right? I need this.

2:01:162:01:19

I'm tired of slaving around for people who treat me like dirt.

2:01:192:01:23

And this time next year, we are

2:01:232:01:25

going to be sitting in our own luxury offices, I promise you.

2:01:252:01:30

Tea to go.

2:01:302:01:32

You all right? Your dad told me you had a meeting at the bank.

2:01:322:01:35

How'd it go?

2:01:352:01:37

Not good.

2:01:372:01:39

Right, well, I'm sorry to hear that.

2:01:392:01:41

Chin up, eh?

2:01:412:01:42

Right, I'll leave you ladies to it.

2:01:442:01:46

No, do you know what? You are right. We can do this.

2:01:492:01:53

You're right, we can.

2:01:532:01:55

We just need to find someone with some spare cash.

2:01:552:01:59

A party? For the Mitchells?

2:02:022:02:05

I think it's a great idea. With The Albert opening next week, we need to remind everyone

2:02:052:02:09

-that we're still the best boozer in Walford.

-L's right.

2:02:092:02:13

If we want this place to survive, we need to be proactive. We all need to graft together.

2:02:132:02:17

Right, that's you and me decided then, Shirl. We're on decorations.

2:02:172:02:21

Linda, Nancy, go and have a look at that grub from the wake - see if there's anything usable.

2:02:212:02:24

Johnny boy, the floors and the khazis.

2:02:242:02:27

I want 'em scrubbed, I want 'em spotless.

2:02:272:02:29

Why does he get all the glamorous jobs?

2:02:292:02:31

Come on then, liven up!

2:02:312:02:33

You're worried about him, I can tell.

2:02:362:02:39

You know, if you go and check Stan's OK,

2:02:392:02:42

-it don't mean you've forgiven him.

-Why should I?

-For Tina? She cares even if you don't.

2:02:422:02:46

He's probably done it on purpose, so he can weasel his way back into our lives.

2:02:462:02:49

What, so you're just going to abandon him?

2:02:492:02:52

He abandoned us.

2:02:522:02:53

Sure you're up for this?

2:02:552:02:58

OK, I'll see you later. Bye.

2:02:582:03:00

You all right, Ronnie? Listen, are you seeing Stacey again?

2:03:022:03:05

No, I'm not. Why don't you leave her alone, Max?

2:03:052:03:07

All right. Only asking.

2:03:072:03:11

Oh!

2:03:112:03:13

I am so sorry!

2:03:132:03:14

Can't you just watch where you're going?

2:03:142:03:16

I wanted to drink it, not wear it!

2:03:162:03:18

Johnny! Get the mop!

2:03:232:03:25

What time you clocking off?

2:03:292:03:31

-I'm ready for a big night with my little lady.

-Yeah...

2:03:312:03:35

We've just had a party booking. Mick's going to need my help.

2:03:352:03:38

What about our night out?

2:03:382:03:39

We can go out tomorrow. It's Roxy's birthday!

2:03:392:03:42

No, no, no, don't be like that!

2:03:452:03:46

Peace offering?

2:03:562:03:58

Er, yeah, cheers.

2:03:582:03:59

Sorry, I shouldn't have bitten your head off.

2:04:042:04:06

Can't blame you, after I poured scalding hot coffee down you.

2:04:062:04:11

Trust me, I've had a lot of pain inflicted on me

2:04:112:04:13

by women over the years. That weren't even in the top ten.

2:04:132:04:17

The voice of experience.

2:04:172:04:19

Well, you know, my life ain't worked out how I had it all planned.

2:04:192:04:24

How so?

2:04:242:04:27

It's all right, just ignore me. Just being a grumpy old man.

2:04:272:04:31

Come on. You'd be doing me a favour.

2:04:312:04:33

Take my mind off my own problems.

2:04:332:04:35

Well, you know. It's just...

2:04:382:04:41

well, just seeing Stacey again brought a lot of stuff back.

2:04:412:04:46

-Bradley?

-Yeah.

2:04:492:04:52

Yeah, but not just him. Tanya. Just a lot of ghosts.

2:04:522:04:57

Max, maybe you should focus on the future.

2:04:592:05:04

Pastures new.

2:05:042:05:05

Yeah.

2:05:082:05:09

Yeah, I think you might be right.

2:05:112:05:13

Listen, stay and have a little drink with me.

2:05:202:05:24

Has someone put Viagra in the water supply around here or something?

2:05:262:05:30

So? How did you two get on?

2:05:462:05:47

Right.

2:05:502:05:51

Well, don't worry, you'll think of something.

2:05:532:05:55

We already have.

2:05:552:05:58

Yeah, we just need a grand. To start us off.

2:05:582:06:01

No. Ain't going to happen.

2:06:012:06:04

See? Forget it, Luce.

2:06:042:06:06

Why would he believe I could actually achieve something anyway?

2:06:062:06:10

Well, I just hope she kept the receipt for that suit.

2:06:142:06:17

What?

2:06:222:06:23

You know, a year ago she was drinking herself into a early grave.

2:06:232:06:27

And now she's trying to launch her own business.

2:06:272:06:29

Any real man would give his daughter a bit of support.

2:06:292:06:35

Well, if you can't get here on time, don't bother coming.

2:06:352:06:39

You still looking for that bar staff?

2:06:392:06:42

Well, so far they've all been a waste of space.

2:06:422:06:45

-You?

-Yeah, why not?

2:06:452:06:47

Well, what would your family say?

2:06:472:06:48

I could not care less what they think. They treat me like their lackey.

2:06:482:06:51

Anyway, I want to work somewhere with a bit more style.

2:06:512:06:55

Well, thanks for the compliment but I don't think it's a good idea.

2:06:552:06:59

-Why not? I've been pulling pints since before I could walk.

-Well, the thing is,

2:06:592:07:02

we need people who can do more than just pull pints.

2:07:022:07:05

OK, then what will it be? Long Island Ice Tea?

2:07:052:07:08

Mojito? Rusty Nail?

2:07:082:07:10

You've got a bit of swagger, I'll give you that.

2:07:102:07:13

Well, I've never had any complaints yet.

2:07:132:07:16

And you don't mind that you'd be sleeping with the enemy?

2:07:162:07:18

No offence, you're not really my type.

2:07:182:07:21

Cheeky.

2:07:212:07:23

Well, go on, then. I'll have a Cosmopolitan.

2:07:232:07:26

But if you want to work for me,

2:07:262:07:27

it'll have to be the best I've ever tasted.

2:07:272:07:29

What are you doing here?

2:07:432:07:45

Shouldn't you be at home?

2:07:452:07:47

What for?

2:07:472:07:49

I've come to see what mischief that Cora's done

2:07:492:07:52

while I ain't been here.

2:07:522:07:53

You should be taking it easy, Dot.

2:07:532:07:55

You sound like that grandson of mine.

2:07:552:07:58

It's just because we care.

2:07:582:08:01

Oh - I forgot to thank you.

2:08:012:08:03

For what?

2:08:052:08:06

For that nice reading you did yesterday.

2:08:062:08:08

What's the matter? Is it something what Ian has done?

2:08:112:08:16

He kissed me.

2:08:192:08:20

Ooh. Oh, dear. Ain't he supposed to be engaged to Denise?

2:08:202:08:25

I know!

2:08:252:08:26

It's all my fault.

2:08:272:08:29

I honestly thought we could work together as friends.

2:08:292:08:33

I've been stupid.

2:08:332:08:35

You ain't stupid. You've got more between your ears than all them

2:08:352:08:39

wives of his put together.

2:08:392:08:41

I'm sick of people trying to take advantage of me, Dot.

2:08:412:08:45

Yes. Well, you go on and you show him who's in charge.

2:08:452:08:50

Go on. Go and tell him.

2:08:522:08:55

Thank you, Dot.

2:08:592:09:00

-It looks good.

-I know. Not that it matters now.

2:09:112:09:14

How do you get your parents to take you seriously?

2:09:152:09:20

Where've you been?

2:09:232:09:25

Look in there.

2:09:252:09:27

Your dad just gave it to me.

2:09:312:09:34

-How?

-Well, he saw my figures and didn't want to miss out on a good thing.

2:09:342:09:38

I can't believe he's done this for me.

2:09:422:09:45

This is really going to happen, isn't it?

2:09:452:09:47

LB Lettings is officially in business!

2:09:472:09:51

Here, Luce - I thought you said you made this?

2:09:512:09:53

Yeah, I did.

2:09:532:09:54

Right, then why does it say "Web design by Jake Stone"

2:09:542:09:56

at the bottom, then?

2:09:562:09:58

He was just giving me a helping hand.

2:09:582:10:01

Yeah, I bet he was. I quit.

2:10:012:10:05

What?

2:10:092:10:10

Here we go, here we go. Oi, oi, oi, oi!

2:10:172:10:19

Happy birthday!

2:10:192:10:20

-The Vic?

-Yeah.

-Oh, well, you've really pushed the boat out, then?

2:10:232:10:26

-And where is everybody, anyway?

-They're all on their way.

2:10:262:10:29

Don't worry about it.

2:10:292:10:30

Trust me, no-one throws a party like us.

2:10:302:10:32

-It's going to be great! Don't worry.

-Go on, get yourself in that VIP area over there.

2:10:322:10:36

Go on. Oi, oi.

2:10:362:10:37

We might only need 20 of those.

2:10:402:10:41

Because if we do the pictures, it's going to reduce the number of...

2:10:412:10:45

I wasn't sure if you were coming back, so we just got started.

2:10:452:10:47

Hello. I've sketched out some brand-new designs.

2:10:472:10:50

We don't want to keep falling back on the same old cliches, do we, Ian?

2:10:502:10:54

No, wait!

2:11:122:11:13

I didn't go near Jake. I swear nothing happened.

2:11:132:11:16

He was just helping me with the website.

2:11:162:11:18

So why did you lie to me about it, then?

2:11:182:11:21

Because I knew you wouldn't like it. No more secrets.

2:11:212:11:26

This is never going to work if we don't trust each other.

2:11:262:11:29

Partners?

2:11:312:11:32

I know we've had our ups and downs,

2:11:342:11:36

-but it's going to be different this time.

-Do you promise?

2:11:362:11:39

Cross my heart and hope to die.

2:11:392:11:41

-Yeah. All right. Partners.

-Cool.

2:11:432:11:45

So, why don't we go out next week and celebrate your birthday

2:11:452:11:48

and the launch of our new business?

2:11:482:11:51

Yeah, OK. You're buying, though.

2:11:512:11:53

No. Your dad is!

2:11:532:11:54

TEXT ALERT

2:11:542:11:57

Thank you, we'll be in touch.

2:12:022:12:03

That went very well.

2:12:082:12:10

You certainly know how to get your point across.

2:12:102:12:14

Listen, about earlier...

2:12:142:12:16

All that, us, is in the past.

2:12:162:12:19

We are just business partners, clear?

2:12:192:12:21

Crystal.

2:12:212:12:23

Forget it ever happened.

2:12:232:12:24

Forget what happened?

2:12:242:12:25

You see, now this is more like it!

2:12:342:12:37

All right, it's not a complete disaster anyway.

2:12:372:12:40

Can't believe my sister's turning 36.

2:12:402:12:43

Yeah, and what have I got to show for it, eh?

2:12:432:12:46

The best sister in the world? A beautiful daughter?

2:12:462:12:48

All right! All right!

2:12:482:12:50

But is, you know, a tall, handsome stranger too much to ask for?

2:12:502:12:54

You'll find someone, I promise you.

2:12:542:12:56

Here's to a new start.

2:12:582:13:00

To a new start.

2:13:002:13:02

Time for a refill!

2:13:052:13:06

What can I get the birthday girl?

2:13:152:13:16

Oh, um... Bottle of champagne, please?

2:13:162:13:19

Vodka and coke?

2:13:192:13:21

Right, that'll be a no.

2:13:212:13:23

-Who's next?

-Can I get...

2:13:232:13:24

A bottle of champagne.

2:13:242:13:26

And two glasses.

2:13:262:13:27

I've already said I'm sorry.

2:13:362:13:37

Just call me back when you get this, OK?

2:13:382:13:41

What's the matter?

2:13:462:13:48

Tosh won't answer my calls.

2:13:482:13:50

She's probably too busy chatting some girl up.

2:13:502:13:52

Well, do yourself a favour.

2:13:522:13:54

Go upstairs, put some slap on that beautiful boat and go and find her.

2:13:542:13:57

Remind her what's she's got. Go on, get out of it.

2:13:572:14:00

You know what we should have in this place? A pool table.

2:14:062:14:09

You don't like pool.

2:14:092:14:10

You do.

2:14:102:14:13

And if I feel left out, I could always hold your cue.

2:14:132:14:18

Really?

2:14:182:14:19

Sorry for hassling you about your dad.

2:14:192:14:21

-You know, I ain't worried about him. I'm worried about you.

-Me?

2:14:212:14:25

You might act like you don't give a damn, Mick Carter, but I know you.

2:14:252:14:28

Unless you find out if Stan's OK,

2:14:282:14:31

you won't be able to live with yourself.

2:14:312:14:33

You know why? Because you're a better man than he is.

2:14:332:14:37

Tina will batter me if she finds out I've left him in the lurch.

2:14:372:14:41

So you'll go and see him?

2:14:412:14:43

Yes, I'll go. You win!

2:14:432:14:47

I'm only going to go and check on him. I can't do all this small-talk.

2:14:472:14:51

I told you you're an old softy.

2:14:512:14:53

Go on, then.

2:14:582:15:00

What, now? No, I was going to go in the morning.

No time like the present.

2:15:022:15:04

All right.

2:15:072:15:08

I can't tell you. Not until I've spoken to Mum.

2:15:182:15:21

He's got something he wants to say.

2:15:212:15:24

Spit it out.

2:15:242:15:25

Right, look, I went to see Sharon earlier.

2:15:252:15:28

I've got a new job. At The Albert.

2:15:282:15:30

You what?

2:15:302:15:31

That's my boy! I'm proud of you.

2:15:312:15:33

You sure about this?

2:15:332:15:35

Can someone tell me what's going on here?

2:15:352:15:38

If The Albert's our competitor,

2:15:382:15:40

we're going to need someone on the inside.

2:15:402:15:43

Still think I'm a mug?

2:15:432:15:45

Looks like the Mitchells aren't the only ones that know how to play dirty.

2:15:452:15:49

That was the best birthday ever!

2:16:152:16:18

Did I see you getting friendly with Aleks earlier?

2:16:182:16:22

-Did he sweep you off your feet?

-Yes, something like that, all right.

2:16:222:16:26

I'm sorry I was such a miserable cow earlier.

2:16:262:16:29

And thank you for dropping all that Stacey stuff.

2:16:292:16:32

You know I love you, don't you?

2:16:322:16:34

Yes, I know. Shut up.

2:16:342:16:36

Hi, it's me.

2:16:432:16:44

Thanks again for your help.

2:16:462:16:47

I can't wait to see you.

2:16:492:16:52

And you're right, Lauren doesn't have to know.

2:16:522:16:54

Uh!
