0:00:27 > 0:00:30I've downloaded some Mighty Sparrow.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Sorry, it's one of Patrick's favourites.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Right. I thought you'd be at work.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37No, Shabnam's covering.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38You not going in today?
0:00:38 > 0:00:42No, of course I'm not. I'm going to be at the hospital.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Any news?- Only that he's finally making progress.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50- He'll be back to his old self soon. - Well, let's not jump the gun, eh?
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Meaning?
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Meaning, we know this could take months. Years even.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Not if I've got anything to do with it.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- I'll go and get changed. - What for?
0:00:58 > 0:01:01You don't think I'm going to let you go on your own, do you?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- All right, Whit?- All right.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Yeah, yeah. Sorry. Just broke a bit of a sweat this morning.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Yeah, I can see.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21- You'll never guess what.- What?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24The shower at the Vic's only gone and broke on me, ain't it?
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Oh, no.- Yeah. So I either walk around stinking all day or...
0:01:28 > 0:01:29- What?- We go back to yours.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- We?- Well, yeah. You can't expect me to scrub my back on my own?
0:01:34 > 0:01:35I can't quite reach.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38I've got to help Bianca.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Bunk off.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Bye, Lee.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45I never did like showering on my own.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48It's a good job you had 30 geezers to keep you company, then.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51You having this?
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Some lightweight decided to gag all over my new tiles.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Nice. Is Linda around?
0:01:56 > 0:02:00She's on the blower to her mother. She'll be another good hour.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Just wanted to give her these.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04She's been a bit stressed out recently. I thought it might help.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Let's have a look.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- What's this, give her the full works, does it? - Yeah. Courtesy of yours truly.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13That's very decent of you.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17RADIO: 'Following last week's appeal, police are still looking to talk to several key witnesses
0:02:17 > 0:02:19'in the Lucy Beale murder investigation.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23'They are particularly interested in anyone on the number 15 bus
0:02:23 > 0:02:30'between 8.06 and 8.22 on the evening of the 18th of April,
0:02:30 > 0:02:34'including a man wearing a distinctive hat who still hasn't come forward.'
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Sounds like the Old Bill are finally starting to pull their finger out. - He's just some bloke on a bus.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42So why hasn't he come forward, eh?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Chances are he's got something to hide, ain't he?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46If I was him, I'd start running.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Ah, here he is.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06Now Patrick, I hope you've not been out there giving them nurses a hard time.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Have you been doing your exercises? Hmm?
0:03:13 > 0:03:17I thought so. Right. Come on.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Come here and give us your hand.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23And squeeze.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Patrick, you know what the doctors said, don't you?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Ian, pour him a glass of water, will you?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Shame it's not rum, eh?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Dot's only gone and knitted you a pair of socks.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40She's worried your feet are going to get chilly.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Don't just stand there with it.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Oh. It's OK. Not to worry.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Eh? Accidents happen, don't they?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- All right, Sis?- Hey.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- What are you doing back here? - Charming.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I thought you were recuperating at Sonia's.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Yeah. Dot wanted me to go and see Dad with her.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- What's he doing going with you? - Well, he offered.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Dot, all you've got to do is ask, you know. I'd have driven you.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I've asked you countless times to come and visit your father with me.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29You've always been too busy.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30It's all right. It was no trouble.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Well, if you want to go again, you come and find me. Yeah?
0:04:33 > 0:04:38- Max, is Abi in?- Er, yeah, but she's got university to think about, Jay.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Last thing she needs is you distracting her.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Oi. You listening to me, or what?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44What's going on, Max?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48I'm part of this family, ain't I? Everyone seems to have forgotten that.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I got your text. What's the matter?
0:04:52 > 0:04:57Well, that place that I was waiting to hear about...
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I didn't get in.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Well, can't you just go back on the clearing website?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05All the good courses will have already gone.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- Someone might've dropped out over the weekend.- Jay, there's no point.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09What are you going to do -
0:05:09 > 0:05:13sit here feeling sorry for yourself or do something about it?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Oh, and your dad keeps banging on about Liverpool, by the way.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Look, if you don't want to do it for him, then do it for me.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- How does he seem to you? - Pretty much the same.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- I'm going to go find a doctor. - What are you going to say?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35We've got a right to know what's going on.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- What am I supposed to do? - Er, sit with him.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Um...
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Denise...
0:05:52 > 0:05:57She put some of your favourite music on an MP3 player, so...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01There you go.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04MUSIC PLAYS
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Patrick.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Help me out here, please.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31What are you doing?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Steering well clear of Lee.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Why? You two had an argument?
0:06:36 > 0:06:37What is it?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Well... He's a bit...full-on.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Oh. Right. And you don't want to go there?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Course I do. I just...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- I don't know.- Just what?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Well, every bloke I've been with, yeah? You know what I'm like.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I always dive in headfirst, don't I?
0:07:04 > 0:07:05So you just want to take your time?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Yeah. Cos I really like him.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I just need to make sure he feels the same way.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Come on, Whitney. Of course he does.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Lee's one of the good ones.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I think it's nice that he's so keen. You know.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20At least he's not... I dunno.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I thought it was girls that had all the complications.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Talking about Dean?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Yeah. I was trying to be like you. Trying to play it cool.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33So what happened?
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Well, I went round there for a takeaway.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- And?- And...
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Well, Lauren Branning. I am ashamed of you.- I don't even know what's wrong with me.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47It's like every time I'm around him, I act like an idiot.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I can't look at you.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Seriously, I'm just playing it cool.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54- All right.- All right.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Have you seen Lauren? - Yeah, she's...
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- You just missed her. Sorry. - All right.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- What?- I can't let him see me like this, can I?
0:08:10 > 0:08:11What are they saying?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I'm still on hold.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Why do these things take so long?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- I told you this was a waste of time. - Give me the phone.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20What are you doing?
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Hello? Abi Branning. She's right here. Thank you.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Hello? Oh...
0:08:27 > 0:08:32- Everything all right? - Do you mind holding on one second?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- What d'you want?- I'm going to cook a bit of lunch later.- Why?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39I told you last week. I want to do something. You know, celebrate your place at uni.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Oh. Well, me and Jay are just going to grab a pizza. - Nah, it's all right. It's fine.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- Yeah?- Do you mind, then? We're kind of in the middle of something.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47All right. No worries.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Oh, family lunch. 1.30.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- But I've already made... - No buts, Lauren. All right. Do what you're told, please, for once.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I can just see you on the beach. Kicking back.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Glass of rum in your hand.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07Maybe when you've got yourself back on your feet
0:09:07 > 0:09:10we could get you a flight over there or something.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Patrick, believe it or not, I am trying to help you out here.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Why don't you just help me out a little in return, yeah?
0:09:26 > 0:09:30You've seen how happy Denise is. Why spoil it?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Oh!
0:09:33 > 0:09:36You all right? What is it? What's wrong? Can I do your cushions?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Let me just...- Get off me!
0:09:39 > 0:09:40All right.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Look, I just wanted to say sorry about earlier.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47You know, I've been letting things get on top of me lately. That's all.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48OK.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50So how is everything?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53A little bit tender but that's to be expected.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- What, with the...?- No offence, Max, but do you know what,
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- I don't really want that conversation with my brother. - Yeah. Nah.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Dot's in here, she's collecting for the church fair.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Oh, right.- Dot...- All right, Dot?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I'm ever so sorry, Carol
0:10:06 > 0:10:09but I've had to make a little pile of rejects.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I mean, the vicar, I'm afraid, is very particular about his jumble.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18I mean, Bianca is a lovely girl but some of her outfits...
0:10:18 > 0:10:22They're so lurid, they was bringing on one of my migraines.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Listen, I'm glad you're here actually, Dot.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I want to invite you both for lunch. About half one, round at ours.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- You know, just to celebrate Abi's exams.- Oh, dear.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34I had promised the vicar I'd give his jumble my full attention.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Well, if you play your cards right, Dot, I'll let you root around the girls' wardrobes, if you want.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- Oh, well, I expect I can spare an hour.- Great. Here, I'll give you a hand with that, Dot.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Well, I was going to call in on Shirley...
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Oh, but on second thoughts I don't think
0:10:47 > 0:10:49there's a place for leather on the vicar's table.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- You're probably right. I'll see you over there. - Hold on, Max. There's a hat.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- See you later.- Thank you so much.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- See you later.- See you.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- Oh, hello, Whitney.- Hello.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- We've just collected some jumble. - Oh, right.- All right, Whit?
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- Hiya.- I didn't know you were back. - Just a flying visit.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10How are you feeling?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Oh, I'm sick of everybody asking me that.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Oh, it's only cos I'm worried.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Look, I just need a bit of time to readjust, that's all.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20So...what's been going on around here?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- The usual.- And Lee?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26He's not giving you the run-around, is he?
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Not exactly.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31So what's the problem?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Or are you trying to find a problem?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Life's too short for ifs. Just go out there and have some fun.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46I've had to get the bleach to these cupboards. Thick with grease they are.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I love it when you talk dirty!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Why don't you come down and play.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51No, I'm busy here.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Is this about what happened at Fatblasters?- Course it's not.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- If you're worried about what people are going to say...- Like what?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04There's the woman who lets her husband sleep with hookers.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Sorry. I just hate it when this place is in a state.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I could get Tracey to come and cover for me.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12We can go and have a cuddle for a half hour, if you want.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14No. Not today.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Oh. I almost forgot.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Um, I got you some vouchers.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25To get the old canister done. You know, like, the full works.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Oh, Mick. You haven't.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30You can only have 'em if you promise that you'll give me a little private show when it's done.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Yeah? Is that a deal? Is that a deal?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35All right! Just give 'em! Give 'em to me.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Courtesy of Walford's very own Vidal Sassoon.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Blades.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I'm just... I'm out of bleach.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- You, er...you find him? - Eventually.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57It turns out he'd been trying to call me at the house.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Why? What's happened?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Well, it's good news, Patrick.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05The doctor seems to think you're going to make better progress at home.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09So, erm... so...so what they're going to do is,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12they're going to send Social Services round, come and assess the house,
0:13:12 > 0:13:16and then hopefully we can bring you back home with us.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18You're not going to manage to look after him on your own.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21We're going to have carers coming in a few times a week.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- And not to mention there's that outreach team. - Right. And what about work?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Well, Shabnam will cover.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Right. Let's practise those exercises again, shall we?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Why would I want these?- I thought you could do with cheering up.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I don't need anything from you, do you hear me? And you stay away from Mick.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Why?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I'm warning you, Dean. I don't know what you think this is
0:13:48 > 0:13:50but it stops right here. Do you understand me?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Everything all right?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Yeah. Mick'll be wondering where I am.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04What was all that about?
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Search me.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08What are you after?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Um, Whit was saying you was looking for me earlier.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Was I? Can't even remember why.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- Oh.- Was there something else?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I was just wondering... it's quite complicated really.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26I'm not sure I follow.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27I just want to know...
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Know...what?
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Well...
0:14:34 > 0:14:37You know them hot oil treatments that you do...?
0:14:37 > 0:14:42Whitney was saying they're bad for your hair or something. I just... wanted to know if they was..
0:14:42 > 0:14:44but it doesn't really matter now anyway.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48I've got lunch in five minutes.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52You know, if you wanted to come back to mine. Get a takeaway.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Thank you. Bye. Bye...
0:14:59 > 0:15:00What did they say?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Um, they've offered me a place at Bolton.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07See! I told you!
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- It's Animal Biology.- So?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- So it's not the right course. - But you still get to be a vet at the end of it, don't ya?
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Well, yeah. Eventually.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Well, that's all right, then, ain't it?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Look... this is our chance to get away.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Us?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24There's nothing keeping me round here, is there?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29How old were you when we first met?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I don't know. About eleven?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36And what did you want to be back then?
0:15:38 > 0:15:39A vet.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I did, didn't I?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Look out, Bolton. here we come.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Yeah. All we've got to do now, though, is tell my dad.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Anthony, it's Ian again. I'm not sure if you've got my previous messages
0:15:54 > 0:15:57but when you get this one, can you give us a call?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Any news from the Old Bill?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Nah. Not yet.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Looks like they've got that geezer on the bus firmly in their sights. - I'm not going to get my hopes up.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07How's, er...Patrick?
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Apparently he's getting better. - You don't sound too happy about it.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30RINGTONE
0:16:32 > 0:16:34'Is that you, Dee?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37'Where are you? I can't see you.'
0:16:40 > 0:16:42'Ian! What do you want?'
0:16:42 > 0:16:47- It's...it's Patrick. - 'Has something happened?'
0:16:47 > 0:16:51No, no, no, he's fine. The consultant thinks he's making good progress.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53'Thank goodness.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56'You tell Dee to give him a big smacker from me, all right?'
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Whoa, whoa, whoa. I need to ask you something.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03'It's gotta be quick. I'm on stage at half past.'
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Oh, right. Is that why you're dressed like...
0:17:05 > 0:17:06What is that?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09'# We're your dream girls, boys
0:17:09 > 0:17:12'# We'll make you happy, yeah... #
0:17:12 > 0:17:16'Three girls. Think me, Dee and... Shirley.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18'Except one of us is more talented than the other two,
0:17:18 > 0:17:23'so they get pushed to the background while I take the spotlight.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28'# I'm telling you, I'm not going
0:17:30 > 0:17:31'# You're the... #
0:17:32 > 0:17:35'So come on. What did you want to ask me?
0:17:35 > 0:17:36'My public awaits.'
0:17:38 > 0:17:43How would you feel if, um... Patrick came to stay with you?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46'Ian, I'm on a boat! What do you expect him to do?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49'Paddle out here on a dinghy? Do me a favour.'
0:17:49 > 0:17:52We could meet you next time the boat's in port, or something.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55'This is no place for a sick man, Ian.'
0:17:55 > 0:17:58All right. So Denise is supposed to look after him on her own?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00'Look, if I could come home now, I would.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02'But I can't... OK, coming!
0:18:02 > 0:18:07'That's me. I've got to go, yeah? Look, tell Dee I'm thinking of her.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10'And whatever she needs to do. I'll support her. All right?'
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- This is a first - you cooking. - Yeah, don't get used to it.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I've invited Charlie along. I hope you don't mind.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Ah. I've only laid the table for six.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Don't be ridiculous. You can pull up an extra chair, can't you?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Ain't Lauren joining us?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Yeah, she is, Dot. She's just popped out for a bit.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Where?- It's all right. She knows what time lunch is. She'll be back.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- You not working today, no? - Day in lieu.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- Right. Must be nice. Working flexitime. - It's got its advantages, I suppose.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47That way you get to run Dot around whenever you want.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- Meaning?- So, Abs, Liverpool. You must be really excited.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Yeah, yeah, I suppose. Yeah.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58You're the first of the Brannings to go to uni, as they call it.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00You must be ever so proud, Max.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- I am, Dot. - Especially with the year she's had.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Dot.- Well, it can't have been easy for her.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Not with the goings on round here lately.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12You should check out the Cavern while you're up there. It's the first club the Beatles played at.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16I always hoped that my Nick would end up at one of them polytechnics.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18He was ever so gifted with his hands.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- Yeah, I've heard. - I don't know about anybody else but I'm really starving.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- No, we're going to wait for Lauren. - She won't mind if we start without her.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28It's a family meal, ain't it? We're going to eat together.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35What is this?
0:19:39 > 0:19:40What's what?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Me and you.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Well... It's fun, isn't it?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55You didn't think that...
0:19:57 > 0:20:02- Oh, you did think...- I'm going to have to go anyway, cos...
0:20:02 > 0:20:08- my dad's going to be wondering where I am. - Babes, we're both pretty young.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I just don't see the point in settling down at this age.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Course not.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Look. Why don't we go for a drink in the week?
0:20:20 > 0:20:21See how it goes.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24You don't need to do me any favours.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I'm not. Do you want to go out or not?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I'm sure I could move a few things around.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36Cool. We'll start in the Vic, then we'll shoot into town after.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Sounds good.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Bye.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46What can you see?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Oh, come on, Patrick. Do this for me.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54No...no more.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Patrick, come on. Just a couple more cards. Please.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I...I...
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Um, leave him, love. Leave him.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05He's tired.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Where'd you slope off to?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I had a delivery at the restaurant.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Why don't you go get yourself a coffee?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- I'll do a few more of those with him.- Right.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- Thank you.- It's all right.
0:21:29 > 0:21:36Patrick, I'm fed up tiptoeing around.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40I was thinking maybe we could help each other out but you've clearly got other ideas.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43So if you want to...tell her...
0:21:45 > 0:21:48..that's fine. You go ahead and tell her.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Here she is.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03What time do you call this, Lauren, hmm?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- I thought I said half past? - Yeah. I lost track of time. Sorry.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- What, you think I just plucked a time out of thin air, do you? - I just didn't think.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11No, you never do, Lauren. That's your problem.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- No harm done, eh? - Sorry, was I talking to you?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- Max...- Walking round the square like it's bob-a-job week.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Sorry, who invited you, anyway?
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- Are you all right, Lauren? You look a bit flushed.- Yeah, I'm fine.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Well, I wouldn't mind a bit of what she's on.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35There's such a glow about you.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Right, I'd better go and see your dad.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Oh, leave him. He's been like it all week.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42That appeal must have been really hard for him, Abs.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43It wasn't easy for any of us.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Hey. Just what is your problem?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Him. What's he after, Carol? Pride of Britain award, or what?
0:22:56 > 0:22:57He's just looking out for Dot.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Yeah, right. Best mates now, are you?
0:23:00 > 0:23:01What you talking about?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04I've seen you, your little looks across the table.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Look, Charlie just got us out of a bit of a hole, that's all.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- What sort of hole? - Nothing. Don't worry.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- Why didn't you come and see me? - Cos I didn't want to worry you.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- He's not even family. - He's Dot's family.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17He rocks up out of nowhere, claiming to be her long-lost grandson.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20I don't buy it.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Look at him. Running around after an old woman. He's got to be after something.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Listen, that's enough. This is Abi's day and she doesn't need you spoiling it.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- What's his problem? - Don't take it personally. He's just had a rough couple of weeks.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39You and me. We're still good, right?
0:23:39 > 0:23:40I said so, didn't I?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Looks like we're both in the doghouse.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49I don't know what to do any more. She keeps giving me the swerve.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Yeah, you and me both, son.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- What? Are you and Mum... - No, no, no, just...
0:23:53 > 0:23:55a little bit of a scuffle at Fatblasters.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57There was no harm done.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Did I ever tell you the time me and her got together?
0:24:03 > 0:24:08Geography. I lent her my best rubber and after that...
0:24:08 > 0:24:11She was putty in your hands. Yeah, yeah.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- I remember. - If you're in it for the long haul,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17then you have to take the rough with the smooth.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I've never met anyone like her before.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Then I'd say to you, just sit tight
0:24:23 > 0:24:27because let me tell you something now, birds like your mum -
0:24:27 > 0:24:28they don't come along very often.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Now, liven that boat up. You're going to put off the punters.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Yeah, I'll give Dean a bell later. See if he fancies a few pints.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41- No, you don't. - Where did you spring from? - We need you behind the bar tonight.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Don't look at me. She's the guv'nor.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48How long is it now, Abs?
0:24:48 > 0:24:49About a month.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- You must be excited. - Yeah. She is, ain't ya?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Sorry, what, are you going to do all the talking for her, today or what?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Right, shall we do a toast?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- Yes. To Abi.- Abi.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Are you going to tell him, or am I?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11What? Tell me what?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I'm...I'm not going to Liverpool.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- That's your doing, is it? What are you trying to do? You trying to talk her out of it?- No, no. I, er...
0:25:29 > 0:25:31I didn't get the grades that I needed.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Right. So why didn't you say something?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Because you were too wrapped up in yourself to listen.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Don't blame the girl. She's had a trying few weeks.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Sorry, was anyone talking to you, Dot?
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- Don't talk to her like that. - Oh, shut up. I'm sick of you sticking your oar in.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51You might get these two eating out the palm of your hand, mate.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- I ain't buying it.- And there's me feeling sorry for you, Max Branning.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57But a leopard, it can't change its spots.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59You've brought nothing but shame on Jim's family.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Right. Well, good. I'm glad.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- So get out, the pair of you.- Hang on, hang on. Abi ain't finished yet.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I'm actually going to Bolton to do Animal Biology.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- And I'm going with her. - What are you talking about? You ain't going with her!
0:26:09 > 0:26:12You can't tell him what to do. This is my life.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14It has nothing to do with you.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23You just can't help yourself, can you?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Oh, here we go. Remember what I told you.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Listen. I'm sorry if I seemed a bit pushy earlier.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44You've got nothing to apologise for.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46It's just sometimes, I get a bit...
0:26:46 > 0:26:47And you think I don't?
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Look, Bianca's out tomorrow night. I want to cook you something nice.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- If you're not too busy. - No. No, I'll be there.- Good.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Sweet. Right, go on and sink a few pints with Dean. You deserve it.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I told you. We need him here tonight.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09It's all right, Dad. I'll hang about, it's fine.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Oh, talk of the devil. What can I get you?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Bottle of lager. And whatever you want.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16We're working, so...
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I thought I told you to stay away.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21You're going to bar me from my local? Bit over the top.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Just keep away from me, all right.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Linda. I think you might've got your wires crossed.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27You know I'm with Lauren, don't you?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Then perhaps she'll keep you on a tighter leash.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34I'm flattered and everything, but it was just a drunken kiss. Yeah?
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Don't you dare.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Don't do this to her, Patrick. Don't break her heart.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Right.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50We'll let you get some rest but I will be back first thing.
0:27:52 > 0:27:58With any luck, we'll get to speak to that occupational therapist.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02- See if we can get some idea of when we can bring you home. - Don't go getting his hopes up, love.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- What are you talking about? - Look at you. You're practically on your knees.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08I mean, that's no good for anyone. I mean, least of all Patrick.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Do we have to do this here?
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Listen, I've spoken to Kim and Anthony and, um...
0:28:14 > 0:28:16they're both in agreement.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Agreement about what?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Maybe the best place for Patrick is in a home.
