Lock-ins! Worst two words in the English language!
Well, seem a good idea at the time, though, don't they?
Oh, I shouldn't have listened to her. Why did I listen to her?
It was your idea! So? How bad was it?
Well, he went straight to hospital. Let's just hope he's OK.
Oh, what is if's broken? HE GROANS
Oh, hello. Any word on Henry?
Why did I let you talk me into a lock-in?
Me? I couldn't talk you out of it. Where are the paracetamol?
Look, it was your first and your last, right?
It might well be our last. If he pushes the claim, we're finished.
Well, at least your insurance'll cover it.
We're still... shopping around. You're not insured?
They let you open a pub without insurance?
Oh, closed in a month! We'll be a laughing stock.
Can I sign it? No.
I'm glad you didn't come with me.
Six hours he was in A&E last night. It was like the fall of Rome.
Everybody was drunk. Blokes staggering around.
A woman... spewed up all over the floor.
Charming. It was a clean break.
In two places. Nasty.
He won't even have any painkillers. I don't like swallowing pills.
Right, well, I'm off now downstairs.
OK, see ya later. Yeah. Bye.
She wasn't very sympathetic. No, I thought that.
She'll only be thinking of Jenny, never mind what I had to go through.
You can't put a claim in. I've got no choice.
But Johnny and Jenny are practically family!
They've only been open five minutes, and they gave you a job.
It's nothing personal, I just can't afford not to be working right now.
You've never worked a day in your life!
We can't survive off what you make.
And the doctor said it would be at least five weeks
before I can move this bad boy. Five weeks?
Oh, I know it's awkward because of Jenny.
But the bottom line is, those cellar steps were slippery,
and that's their responsibility.
It'll do them good in the long run. They'll...be more careful.
She'll still Jenny from the block.
You can't be sentimental when it comes to compensation.
Right, well, just make sure you're back.
And tell me about your little set-up in the factory an' all,
if you haven't already.
Well, they won't be a problem. Si loves Carly, you know that.
He's not the only one, by the looks of it.
Oh, don't...don't say that. It's just business.
Hm. Right, anyway, your dad said he'd be back by teatime,
traffic pending. OK. Morning!
Oh, morning. I was hoping to beat you to it.
Hm! See what you've done now? She's made me late!
Oh!
So, it's laddo's sentencing tomorrow, isn't it?
He's put you in the picture, has he?
Well, I do care about Simon, despite his faults.
Yeah, anyway, good luck today.
She's starting a new job with Adam this morning. Oh, right.
So if ever you need representation...
I'll certainly bear you in mind.
Right, teatime, don't be late. Yes, Leanne, yes.
Why do you live on this street? Land mines everywhere I go.
Yeah. Come on, then, I'll race you. OK.
On your marks... ..get set...
Go! Go! Ha ha!
So, he's been in prison? Oh, only for a bit.
And before that he was a conman and before that he was a gigolo.
Well, in a manner of speaking. I mean, what exactly is a gigolo?
It's one of these words you hear all the time,
but never thought to ask. Like, "naive"...
I mean, what does that mean?
Which would you like me to explain first?
Because "naive"... Gigolo first.
Explain what a gigolo is.
Oh, right. Um, a gigolo is a man who, er,
offers his personal services for um, er... Maria!
Hi, Audrey. I was just looking for you.
Yes, well, here I am. SHE LAUGHS
Erm, yeah, I just came to tell you that...
well, my money's come through now.
So... It looks like me and Claudia will be setting up together.
Hm, I see. Yeah, sorry.
And how did you manage to raise the money?
Do you know, I'm going to have to rush.
I'm a bit busy right now so I'll catch up with you later.
But, um, thank you... for everything.
Still being advertised. What is?
The Bessie Street post. Oh, I've told you.
I'm not going back into teaching.
Running around after kids is a mug's game.
Right, I'm off to get Joseph.
What is it today? Erm, insect hunting. Toodle-loo.
Yes, I know, Sabine.
Yes, I know.
OK, you too.
Exes, eh? Who'd have 'em?
She thinks that I'm rushing through the sale of Speed Daal,
so I can reinvest my share without her getting her hands on it.
And? Are you?
She's making me provide a sworn statement promising I won't.
"Paula Martin". Do you know her? Name rings a bell.
She's representing Sally Metcalfe. What does she want?
"Is my client willing to allow me
"to send her a copy of the pre-interview disclosure?"
No, he is not.
I wish you'd reconsider. I'm getting grief from Rosie on Snapchat.
Hiya! Hope I'm not late. I've, er, brought some coffees.
Welcome aboard. And this...
..is where you sit. Ah! Think I might like it here.
How is he? Spent six hours in A&E last night.
It was like the fall of Rome. Some woman spewed up on the floor.
And was it broken?
Two places. Oh, poor thing.
He won't even have any painkillers. I got him loads!
Oh, do you mind if I...? My head is clangin'.
It were a good night apart from that, weren't it?
So is he, er, is he still in bed?
He's gone out. Where?
I think he said he was going to, um...
..the solicitors. BOX THUDS ON FLOOR
I'm so sorry, Jenny. We're not even insured!
What, they let you open a pub without insurance?
I have treated you like my very own sister.
You took the pub off me!
After everything Johnny's been through?
How could you do this to us? I haven't done anything!
Henry is fifth in line to the throne.
You've gotta calm down, Jenny.
Every time Rita complained about you, I stuck up for you.
I have always supported you! But if that fop sues us...
it's going to take more than a couple of Paracetamol
to take away the pain! SHE SIGHS
DOOR SLAMS
Typical. The one night I'm not there in the pub, there's a lock-in!
Aha! But what do you think of my chances?
How long, did you say? Five weeks, at least.
And the cellar steps were wet? Like an oil slick.
Obviously I need to see the medical records.
And you were in A&E last night? Er, I was there six hours.
Six hours. MOBILE TEXT ALERT
Well, I certainly think you've got a case.
Obviously I need to go through everything in a bit more detail.
Then it's up to you whether you want to pursue it or not.
Um, how much could I win?
Ah, in cases like this, I've seen a claimant earn upwards of...
17 grand. £17,000?
Where do I sign? One step at a time.
What kind of spanner?
She thinks if I take my money out of here,
and tie it up with something else, she won't get her hands on it.
Basically all it boils down to, I have to write a really boring letter
and file it with the courts. Look, all this can wait.
I am absolutely fine.
You don't have to waste your time consoling me.
I can't vouch for my sister, though.
I'm sure she'd really love to hear from you.
I don't think so.
I thought about sending her a text after I heard about your dad,
but we still haven't spoken since my brother left.
Still can't stand the sight of her? Don't make me sound unreasonable.
Just take her out for a cup of tea or something.
You two go back too far.
Ali, she needs a friend.
PANS CLATTER ON FLOOR
That's Geoff. Go. Go, go.
And do not worry about the sale. Thanks.
You weren't at the office. I'm on my way there now.
She seems nice. Who?
I didn't catch her name.
Oh, yeah, Leanne. Yeah, she's a diamond.
Look at you rushing off!
Why don't you wait a minute? We can talk about the cruise.
Yeah, I've tried speaking to them but they won't budge.
Not even with a death certificate. Capitalist dogs!
OK, so plan B.
Yeah, um... Taking six weeks off at this short notice...
I don't think I'm going to be able to swing it.
So you don't want to go? Want? Yes.
I knew this would happen!
Well, don't mind me, my husband's just died. I'll go on my own.
Spare me the guilt trip.
We'll sort something out, I promise.
How can I go into work every day, knowing he's going to bleed 'em dry?
He must be very desperate.
It's odd really, isn't it? Considering his background.
Well, his parents have disowned him. You know that.
Mm-hm. I've got more money than he has.
No doubt he's spent what he had on the gift for you.
What gift? The gift that he bought for you.
He's not given me no gift. Didn't he?
Well, that's very mysterious.
Because you see, I came across Henry rooting through my drawers.
He said he was looking for the gift... he bought for you.
He must have hidden it.
He's not given me no present. Obviously he can't find it.
In your drawers? Drawers, cupboards, you name it.
Mind you... he did offer to help me. What with?
My investments.
He seemed to think he could find a good home for my money.
Did he now?
Ah, Carla, these are the details
of the last order completed for Jane Fox, 2008.
Oh! I remember it, just!
Right, er... let's have a skeg at that, then.
So she's due in at 2:30.
Sarah, er... just give us a minute. Yeah.
Ta.
So, you didn't hang about. Oh, I want this to work.
You've been reading that paper since 11:43.
It's a tea break. Yeah, and I'll walk you through it.
It's just that when Jane comes in, you can leave us be.
I won't say a word, I promise.
Peter, it's been really hard just to get her in the room.
I'll just sit here and look pretty.
I don't want you asking who she fancies in the 3:30 at Lingfield.
Who do you take me for?
Peter Barlow of number 1, Coronation Street.
Eh, you're the boss, I'll do whatever you say.
So you just chillax a bit. HE EXHALES
Oh. Hello again.
Sabine. Is he around?
I called him this morning to see if he was going to try to swindle me.
Or should I make an appointment?
You requested a sworn statement. It was filed with the courts,
an hour ago, so there's your copy, or your solicitor's.
I'll take it. Darling, light of my life,
etcetera, etcetera.
If he breaches this, then you're out of a job.
Well, then I better make sure he doesn't, eh?
How are you all? Yada, yada, yada...
Make sure you eat. Yes, Roger that!
Nice to see you again, Leanne. You too!
Did you hear that?
So, did you write to Paula Martin? Oh, yeah.
I told her she could whistle.
I could get used to having you around.
Good, cos I'm very hard to fire. So, um, you just need to sign it here.
Great, just let me find my quill.
Henry Newton wants to sue the Rovers.
But? Something doesn't add up.
Is it always this exciting? You tell me.
What, you think there's something going on here?
I don't know. Is there? No, there is not.
What, me and him? Yeah, right. Give me some credit.
SHE GIGGLES
We have, er...
about 250 species of solitary bee in Great Britain.
Although, there is something in the region of 30,000 worldwide.
Do they sting?
Only the female solitary bee carries the sting.
Huh! And then, only when threatened.
Otherwise, perfectly harmless. I think I've found a woodlouse.
See, this apiary mimics the, er,
the natural nesting conditions of the solitary bee.
You sometimes see them flying in with the pollen on their bellies.
It really is a sight to behold.
Provisions. Oh, you are a love!
I found an earthworm.
Urgh! No... Good lad, well, tick it off your list.
Hello, Roy. Good afternoon.
I think I've found a beetle, but I can't identify it.
I think it might be, um, a Volkswagen!
I don't see it. It's in there.
Brrm! Brrm!
BOTH: Bye! Bye. Have fun.
Henry, it's me again. Can you call me back please?
I want to know what's happening.
Is that all right? It's fine, yeah.
I can't do the top... Stop it, stop it.
Ah!Hi. Jane!
Well, it's been a long time.
It's been ten years. I've just been looking at the files.
How do. And you must be...?
Oh, sorry. This is Peter. Yeah. We're partners.
Business partners. Hey, I'm fairly new to this,
so don't expect too much.
Can I take your coat? Oh, thank you.
New to the company, or... industry in general?
Oh, well, I've, er... Let's just say I've dabbled a bit.
Oh, don't we sound professional. Yeah, he's on work experience.
I've just told him to just sit there and behave himself.
We're going to give him some colouring in to do, he'll be fine.
All right! Hey, I am just eager to learn.
Can I get anybody a drink? Oh, Americano please.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. After you, of course.
I'll have a black coffee. Two.
Ah, perfect timing. Go on.
I had a thought, which you may or not be into.
Yeah, my money's on the latter. Yeah, mine too.
However, let's see if we can find a bit of wiggle-room, eh?
My parents have booked themselves onto a non-refundable cruise ship.
It's safe to say my dad will no longer be going.
Imran? However...
the jolly old widow is still very keen to go.
Now, if, and only if, Rana were able to go with her,
then maybe she could talk her round.
I think it's going to take more than six weeks in the Med
to turn your mum into a liberal. Actually, it's the Arabian Sea,
and Rana is very persuasive. She kidnapped her!
I wouldn't blame you if you ran as far as you can from my family.
I just want you all to be happy. And what does Rana say?
I haven't mentioned it to her yet. But... if it came from you...
Are you serious? What?
She's not gonna listen to me. Oh, this is just a blip.
You just don't want to go.
It's not just that. Which I can't blame you for.
I just want my mum to give you both her blessing.
You don't want to go on the cruise
and I don't want your mother's blessing.
I don't want anything to do with her.
I'm sorry for what she's going through, but my sympathy is limited.
The end. Oh!
Oh, what's the matter now?
Looks like I'll have to go on this six week,
all-expenses paid cruise after all. Aw, you poor lamb.
You do not know my mother.
I'd rather be in the water with the sharks.
Well, I could always go instead.
You wouldn't even make it up the gang plank!
Six weeks!
Yeah, away from me, it's a fate worse than death.
Oh, sorry, no offence. Um... I'll post my letters.
SIGHS AND CHUCKLES
17. 17,000.
Just three more...
COINS CLATTER ON FLOOR
What you doing? Gem!
Are you looking for my present? What present?
You tell me. Oh, the... present I got for you.
Rita must have said. Yeah, she did.
I thought that was broken in two places.
It is. It is! Ow!
Ooh, I might need a couple of those paras after all.
How could you lie to me again?
Like he needs the money from where he's come from,
whether they've turned the tap off or not.
Well, he was reduced to a paper round.
Anyway, for now, let's just see what happens.
You might be pleasantly surprised.
What's all that about?
Oh, there was a bit of an incident last night.
I'm keeping out of it, but I've a fair idea how it'll end.
Anyway, for now, cheers.
Here's to a long and happy partnership.
I owe you one, Rita. Big time.
Hello, Audrey. So...
this is your fairy godmother, hm?
Your mate did it? He used to do BTech art and design.
They learned how to make plaster of Paris.
Why, Henry?
I need £20,000... like, yesterday. What for?
Cressida's parents. It's what they spent on the wedding.
They know some pretty disreputable types.
Cressida's parents?
Her dad set a couple of blokes on me.
They've been round once already. If I don't pay up...
Look, at this message they sent me.
Who's Veronica? She's their sledgehammer.
Wealthy people are the worst.
This is my only chance to raise the money.
Adam says he needs my medical records,
but I can get round that somehow. Are you serious?
Do you really think you're going ahead with this,
when I know the truth?
You don't know what they're capable of!
The pub isn't even insured.
What? You can open a boozer without insurance?
Apparently, yeah. I can't have that stop me.
They haven't got that kind of money.
If I can just get rid of this debt, then we're free.
Do you really love me? Of course I love you.
That's why I'm doing all of this... so I can put Cressida behind me.
You've got to let me pursue it. You can't tell Jenny the truth.
Those steps weren't even wet. Yes, they were.
Cos you wet 'em yourself. But they don't know that!
Please.
The question is, do you really love me?
You know I love you... but we can't scam our friends.
We've got no choice. You don't have to come clean.
Just don't sue them. I won't tell anyone that you lied.
What happened to the Gemma that I fell in love with?
The one who used to do things her way?
The one who used to stick it to the man?
What happened to the Henry I fell in love with?
I've got the ball rolling now. I'm about to sign paperwork.
I either sign that, or my own death warrant.
It's up to you.
Fine.
Do what you like. Ah!
That's my girl.
How far do we go back, Rita? Oh, Audrey, come on!
No, no. Come on, how far?
Longer than I care to remember. Well, I expected better.
And as for you, Maria...
Do you know, I hoped you'd be more grown-up about this.
Her, grown-up?
Oh, hello? Well, you're no stranger to the sandpit!
Listen, it's not up to you what I do with my money,
or what she does with her scissors. Everything all right, ladies?
Where would you be without me, Maria, hm?
Back in the kennels, that's where.
And where would you be without her? Closed down!
Well, thank you, Rita, thank you very much. How dare you.
Actually, I can't sit here and talk to these two. I'm going.
We were just leaving anyway. Come on, Maria.
I've still got most of my drink left.
Would you get out my way please? You just go and sit back down.
Can we not all just get along?
I said I would go before you. Well, I said I'm going fir...
You're behaving like a juvenile... Would you move please?
..and a juvenile you certainly are! It takes one to know one!
Eighty years' time, that'll be us. Pfft!
I'm glad you came. I nearly didn't.
I just couldn't believe it when he texted.
I thought it was a practical joke.
I've only got 20 minutes. Me too.
I'm really sorry about your dad.
Why did you get in touch? I just...thought I could listen.
Kate doesn't understand. She wouldn't.
I'm living a lie so my mother doesn't hate me.
Where's the sense in that? It is there, if you look hard enough.
I just...wanted him to die happy.
Imran's going on a cruise with her.
Six whole weeks, imagine that. A good long way.
You know what, I would give anything in the world
to be able to spend six weeks on a boat with my mum.
You've still got one parent left.
If I were you, I'd make the best of it.
Right then, thank you so much for coming in again.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what we can do for you.
So I'll put an email together of everything you've discussed.
Great. Peter, would you see Jane out?
Oh, sure.
Oh, it's OK. I'll give you a tour on the way.
Speak soon. We will.
Bye. Bye, then.
Ah, well, I think that went well. It didn't go badly.
Did you, er... Did you like my little interjections?
Your black lace joke? Yeah. She loved that.
No, she was being polite. So, er, what happens next?
We put some figures together. Come on, grab a seat.
Now? Yes, now. Why?
Oh, it's just that I said I'd get back for Si.
What? Mm.
Chesney popped in earlier.
I was telling him all about the insect hunt.
He, er... he says Joseph talks about you non-stop.
Having a positive role model in one's formative years
can go a very long way. Hm.
For me, it was my uncle who used to take me fly-fishing on the Irwell.
I had a teacher called Mrs Chaffinch.
Sounds like something out of Beatrix Potter!
She dressed like it, too.
She used to wear a shawl and ride a little bicycle,
with a basket on the front. She was my Miss Jean Brodie.
If she could see me now, she'd be horrified.
It is the noblest of professions.
To change the course of a young person's life
with a line of poetry here and a pearl of wisdom there.
A child is like a furnace. And the teacher's job is to fuel it.
Brian, it's too late for me, but, you know,
you - think of the difference you could make.
To have an impact like that on the whole community.
Well, I have got something of a legacy, of course.
Yes, and you could build on that. Now, it's only maternity cover,
so you would be spared the stresses and strains of the headmastership.
But er, have a little look in your satchel.
I popped the Gazette in there.
Thanks for letting me get off early.
I've got to pick the little one up before our Si gets back.
It's just not good enough. I'll make it up to you.
Unless, of course, you've fallen madly back in love with Sabine?
We're running away on the 9:30 train! Mm, more fool you!
Until tomorrow.
Jenny. Johnny.
I can't believe the steps were slippery.
We should've taken more care.
I broke my arm once, playing football up in Bury.
Never known pain like it. You have my sympathy.
Thank you, Johnny, thank you. Um...
However, I wanted to do the decent thing,
and tell you this in person. I've been advised by my solicitor
that I'd be mad not to pursue a claim.
I won't be able to work for five weeks, at least,
and with nothing coming in, er...
We're just going to have to borrow it, I suppose.
I'm so relieved to hear you say that!
I knew you were reasonable people. And after all this is over,
and I can move my arm again,
I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be back behind that bar,
pulling pints.
Yeah, I don't see why your job shouldn't be safe,
just because you've put us a few grand out of pocket.
Well, best case scenario... I mean, worst case scenario,
they're talking 17.
£17,000?
I'm afraid so. Oh.
It's a toughie, but I suppose you've got to roll with the punches.
Listen, have a drink.
Oh, erm, I'd love to, but um... Gemma will be wondering where I am.
Five minutes. Just until they arrive.
Until who arrives? The police.
The police?
Yeah, they just want to take a quick look at your arm,
and your medical files. Just so we all know where we stand,
you know, before we engage our solicitor.
You don't have a problem with that, do you?Er...
They only had semi-skimmed.
Do us a favour, will you? Lock the door.
Do you think she'll be OK? Audrey? Yeah, she'll be fine.
Oh, by the way, you left your wet towel this morning on the sofa.
Oh, I wondered where that got to.
Oi! Who is it you're looking for?
Who's asking? Who's asking who's asking?
Who's asking who's asking... who's asking?
Yes, all right. We're here for Henry Newton.
Oh, him. I can try and get a message to him, if you like.
Good man. Carrier bags are only a shilling.
Couldn't you stretch to it?
Oh, I just keep forgetting to take one from home.
Old habits!
You should see under our stairs. There must be 10,000 of 'em!
If you could just tell him we're looking for him,
that would be great.
Yeah, nothing would give me greater pleasure.
In fact... you couldn't help us, could you?
She told you, didn't she? JOHNNY: Who? Told us what?
If you're talking about Jemma, she never said a word.
I already had my suspicions,
but now I've seen that cast, I've got no doubt.
Looks like you got a mate of yours to do it.
After a couple of pints. So we've reported you...for fraud.
We wanted to do the decent thing, though, and tell you in person.
But we've been advised, by our solicitor,
that we'd be mad not to pursue it.
Nothing personal. You do understand, that, don't you?
BANGING AT DOOR Er, two minutes!
And maybe, once you've served your time
and this whole thing's blown over,
you'll be back behind that bar pulling pints.
We will not hold a grudge.
And if you cooperate, you might get a very light sentence.
Mm, six months. If that.
Six months...in prison? Our solicitor was only guessing.
But I haven't even done anything.
I haven't signed any papers. Who's to say I wasn't joking?
Joking?
Yes! It was a practical joke. I just wanted to see your faces!
Ah! I wasn't going to sue!
MOBILE RINGING Do you want me to get that?
Ah, no. No.
Hello, Henry's phone? Adam Barlow, the solicitor?
Hi, Adam. Can I take a message?
The paperwork's all ready to sign?
That's fantastic. He'll be right over.
I'll drop it, obviously. There's no case to answer,
just don't involve the police. I'm terrified of going to prison.
BANGING ON DOOR One minute.
I couldn't hack it. I know I couldn't.
What about my parents and the papers? Oh, the disgrace.
You are pathetic. Unlock the door, we're losing paying customers.
Two more things. Ah!
You're fired and you're barred.
Oh! That was almost worth it. I better let our Gemma know.
And then I had to write a letter to Sally Metcalfe's solicitor,
about a pre interview disclosure. Summat like that, anyway.
Sounds like you've had a great time. But surely that's confidential?
But it's such an interesting field, though.
Makes me wonder why I've been working
in service industries all my life. You've always loved a scrap!
No, I've always loved to win an argument, if I'm right.
Which I usually am, especially where you're concerned!
Yeah, but solicitors have to represent people
who's in the wrong, as well. It's a lot to test your mettle, isn't it?
Well, I'm mainly photocopying and making cups of tea.
I'm hardly Erin Brockovich.
Right, so would you like to know how my day went?
Eh, no, not particularly. Oh, great!
But let me guess. With your cracking little jokes,
trying to charm your way back into her pants.
Not at all, no.
I'm doing this for Si... Oh, please!
Hello? Hey, who's this, then?
Hey! Ah, hiya!
Hey, where are you going? Toilet.
"Oh, hello, Mum, hello, Dad." Hey, don't take your phone in there!
DOOR SLAMS So much for the welcome home party!
Yeah. Come on, I've made some tea. Good. Come on.
Hello. Look at this. How'd you do it?
You've just got to occupy their minds, that's all there is to it.
Er, could you keep an eye on things while I start the tea?
Yeah, sure. Yeah.
Hey, that's neat writing, Hope. It's about Santa.
Oh, looks like Brian. It is.
What, Santa or Brian? Santa is Brian.
Do we all like Santa? Of course we do.
We love him. Is that Santa?
KIDS: Shh!
And then she said, "Where would you be without Maria?"
KNOCKING AT DOOR Sorry. Sorry, we're closed.
Lewis, I'm going to have to go.
Yeah, OK. Well, look in the bathroom cabinet, or try a cucumber.
Yeah, all right, love. Yeah. Bye. Love you too. Bye.
The world doesn't revolve around you, Audrey.
Oh, spare me, Rita, please! She'll still be at the kennels?
Well, I didn't mean that.
Don't you remember what it was like for us,
before we could afford to strike out on our own?
She'd been here too long, and you know it.
You probably held her back, truth be told.
Oh, goodness!
I was looking for an investment opportunity.
Well, you do know it's Claudia's? It's Maria I've got my faith in.
I thought, that girl deserves a break.
And deep down, so do you. Oh! Oh, do I? Do I really?
Well, you should, because she owes you nothing.
You should be proud of her, instead of petty and resentful,
jealous... Oh!
Look, give that girl your blessing,
because it would mean the world to her.
And I'll tell you something else for nothing.
If you want to crow about loyalty, you just nip down the road
and have a word with your Gail.
She must be feeling wretched, and rightly so.
To choose that cut-price Milk Tray man
over your own flesh and blood? You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
I'll let myself out.
I should've broken his arm for him myself!
Ha! We live and learn. Hm. So you keep telling me.
No lock-ins, keep the steps dry, don't employ reprobates.
Any other pearls of wisdom?
Maybe one or two. But, er...
I don't give them all away for nothing.
These are your hours.
Oh. So I'm not on with you at all? It's for the best.
Don't you think you'd be able to cope?
I'd cope. Course you would.
DOOR OPENING
Well? I've been to see Johnny and Jenny.
And?
I told them I wouldn't be pursuing any claims.
And I said the same to Adam. Thank you, Henry. Thank you so much.
But I didn't drop it because of them.
I dropped it because of you. I know how close you are to Jenny.
I thought it was best if I didn't... rock the boat.
Right.
Thing is... Now I'm back to square one.
So, did they ask you anything? About?
I don't know, the claim, your arm.
They were pleased I wasn't suing them.
But I'm still being chased for 20 grand, and I have nothing.
Well, maybe you could do a sponsored silence.
What? A sponsored silence.
It's where you shut your gob, and everyone you know
sponsors you 20p a minute. I'll sponsor you.
Here you go, here's £1 to get you started.
You seem angry with me.
I've spoken to Jenny. Of course I'm angry with you.
Cos if you had walked through that door and told me the truth,
there might have been the slightest chance we could work this out.
When did you speak to Jenny? About five seconds after you left.
I know how it went down.
I told them I wouldn't be pursuing it.
No, they told you they'd phoned the police,
and you nearly wet your pants! There was a misunderstanding.
Enough's enough! I told them! I'm the one who dobbed you in!
I knew it. Yeah, I had no choice!
I'm sorry, Henry.
No, I'm the one who should be sorry.
I've messed it all up again, haven't I?
Three strikes and you're out.
Gemma...
I really thought we would spend the rest of our lives together.
So did I. And we still can.
You lie too much.
They're still going to come after me. I'm still in trouble.
Please don't leave me. I'm not leaving you.
I'm asking you to leave. No.
All right, night then. Night.
I saw Mum. I saw her, too. Hid.
You haven't spoken to Kate today, have you?
We've been texting.
She hasn't mentioned anything about this cruise?
No. Why? It's just, erm... I'll go.
I'll book the time off, I'll square it all away.
No. What?
I'll go on the cruise. You? Why the change of heart?
I saw an old friend today and she spoke a lot of sense.
Kate? No.
Ah, well, it's about time! But what about Kate?
One thing at a time. See you later.
You all right, Imran? What... Er, yeah!
Yeah, I'm fine. Fine.
Sorry you missed your mum, mate. She had to go back and feed Oliver.
I'm telling your dad, you were very good company.
Not been worrying too much, have you?
There's something I've been meaning to discuss with you actually, erm...
I've invested some money in the factory.
Which means I'll be going into business with Carla.
But we'll be business partners, me and Carla, that's all,
nothing more. Knock yourself out!
Great! That's nice.
MOBILE TEXT ALERT Are you sure about this, Peter?
Dad, it's fine, it's all sorted. I'm doing it for Simon's future.
All right, Newton?
Oh, erm, you couldn't lend us a tenner, could you?
For old time's sake. I haven't got a bean.
I was about to nip to Fresco's. There's a cashpoint there.
Thanks, but when I say I haven't got a bean, I mean literally.
I need to get myself to Wilmslow.
I can give you a lift if you want. My car's just here. Get in.
Seriously? Nice one. Give us those.
Wait a minute... No!
Drive! No! No!
TYRES SQUEAL Please, help! No!
Please! PLEASE!
They got him then? Does it matter?
No. I'm sorry it didn't work out.
Don't matter. Wasn't the one after all.
Good. Shall I put the kettle on?
