Tight, Halfway.
Nice and tight.
What do you reckon, L?
It's on the wonk.Is it?
Whit, what do you think?
Looks straight to me.
Right side down a bit.
Am I left or right?No, left.
Right.I know what your game is.
You just want to have a pipe at me in my Lycras.
Can you blame me?
Look, I'm...
I'm sorry for lashing out yesterday.
I think you're brilliant for doing all this.Come here.
Where are my trainers?
I've looked everywhere. You must've put them someplace.
Mixed them up with your gym bag.
I cleaned them for you
and put them in the shoe rack next to all the other shoes.
I'm sorry, babe.
I'm just a bit tense.
Got to beat my PB.
It's just a stupid 10K.
Doesn't matter. It doesn't have to be a big deal, does it?
Hey, Big Man.
How you doing? You ready?
Oh, do you like what I've done to my hair?
Especially back here.
Cos that's what you're going to be seeing at the end of the race.
In your dreams, old man.
Well, I'm dreaming big, baby.
I'm dreaming big.
Hey!
Ignore him.
It's embarrassing.
Listen, I was thinking after the race
I could get mum to have the kids?
Oh, yeah?Cook your favourite?
Celebrate my champion?
M-m-m. Can't wait.
Me neither.
Morning, beautiful.
How did you sleep?
Fine, thanks.
Come here.
Will you stop it? I can't help it.
She just wants things to be normal.
No, Nan, I can't handle it. I need to speak to her.
Don't go getting her upset.
Just leave her.
All right?
I used my keys. Don't mind, do you?
Why are they hugging?
They've made up.
I guess our plan worked.
But Stacey was so upset last night.
She barely spoke two words to me.
She slept on it.
I think you're underestimating your powers of persuasion, Jean.
I did wonder if I was getting through to her.
Really?
Where are you going?
To congratulate them on being adult for once.
No, no, no, no.Why not?
This is Stacey and Kat we're talking about.
You start rubbing their faces in it, they'll fall out.
Just to make you wrong.
What we got to do is give them a bit of space and..
..make out we're not taking any notice, yeah?
She said anything?
I think she tried to last night but it all kicked off again.
Why has she told Nan and not us?
Like she said - we've been at each other's throats, ain't we?
Right, let's make her some lunch.
Spend some time with her.
What, you and me together?
Let's put what's going on between us to one side, yeah?
Dad ain't secretly fit, is he?
Mitch?
Only time I've seen him run is away from a pregnant woman.
Thanks for having the kids later, Mum.It's no bother.
You and Grey got something planned?
O-oh!
Lucky so-and-so!
Daddy, we got you some super running beans to make you go the fastest!
Thanks, baby.
Hey, none of that.
Illegal substances and all that.
Go on - can't have the old man keeling over halfway, can we?
You done any training for this?
Who me? No, you?
Yeah, but look at me and then look at you.
Ye of little faith, boy.
You need to start facing the facts, Dad - this is going to burn.
Grey, I'm going to stick with you, yeah?
If you can handle the pace.
Don't make me laugh, mate.
Let's get a picture, then.
Family selfie.
There you are.
Everybody's ready. You good to go?
You OK?
Just a bit of pre-race nerves.
The main thing is we're raising awareness.
You know, if we get a nice cheque for the charity, then great.
But don't stress.
Now, come on!
Have you er...?
Have you taped up your nipples?
Taped up me nipples, why?
Chafing.
Chafing?
O-oh could I borrow that a minute?
You really don't need that, Linda.
Right!
Before you set off, little promotion we're having in the Vic afterwards
for all you race medal holders -
burger and a pint for seven quid.
Good luck!
If I have a heart attack, you remember how to do CPR, don't you?
You'll be fine. You've done this before.
Yeah, but that was the last time I put a pair of trainers on.
So are you quite fit, then?
What do you think?
Yeah, I'd say pretty fit.
Is everyone ready?
Go on, Mick! Go on!
You'd better hope your hubby wins,
or you'll be stroking his ego all night instead of something else!
Mother!
I'm so sorry, Adam.
I had to ask.
It did look a little bit suspicious.
But you're right, you know, I put two and two together and made five.
Although, to be fair, I didn't realise she was upset over a guy.
I'm not really one to gossip about other people's love lives.
It's funny, really, considering...
..you said she was like a sister to you.
I barely know her.
Yeah, well,
you'd find her annoying.
Really?
Yeah, she's so
superficial, a slave to fashion.
I like fashion.
Yeah, but you know what young people are like.
Honestly, most of the time, I just nod and smile.
PHONE DINGS
Oh.
Got an e-mail from Tristan.
Will's just got a guaranteed place at the school.
Really?Yes!
Am I the best boyfriend, or what?
Here, listen to this, right.
"A woman with stage four ovarian cancer
"was told she had weeks left to live so she went to a clinic in America
"where they had experimental new drugs."
Sounds expensive. We've got the money.
You have.
Kush will understand, all right? We'll figure things out.
The main thing is we focus on Jean.
Thanks, Kat.
Something smells nice.
Yeah, we're making Mum lunch. Going to get her to talk to us.
I thought I told you she wants some space.
We're not going to push her, are we?
Nan, trust us.
Habiba, hi.
That's a nice outfit.
Oh, thanks.
How are the introductions going?
Aren't Mariam and Arshad setting you up with someone?
Oh, that.
Erm...
I think they've given up hope.
Oh, no, really? That's a shame.
Nice girl like you deserves a bit of romance.
All right, beautiful?
Oh, no, I didn't... I didn't mean...
You're Callum's fiance.
I wasn't flirting, I just stating facts.
It's all right, Stuart.
How's that brother of mine?
He's fine.
Why? Has he said something?
No. Nothing.
Just after seeing our so-called-father
must have shaken him up a bit. Yeah, um...
..can I ask you a question?
Callum really loves you, Whitney.
No, I know that.
Has your dad always been like that?
It's complicated.
Has he ever...?
Hit Callum?
No.
I mean, he'd get drunk and that and mouth off.
But Callum never squared up to him so he stayed off his radar.
Me, on the other hand...
If I'd known, I...
You ain't a mind-reader, are you?
No. Exactly.
I just wish that Callum would open up more.
Cos I have got his back. I hope he knows that.
No, he does. He does, Whit.
But just go easy, yeah?
He's sensitive.
Anyway tell me - is that the one, is it?
The one?The dress.
I see you looking just now.
Don't be shy.
Yeah.
Way too expensive, though.
Girl can dream.
Hello, you all right?
OK, yeah, I've got two of them left.
Going pretty quick, to be honest.
I make 'em all myself.
Hey, Grey!
Coming, Grey.
Coming.
Kush. Hi.
All right?Yeah.
Listen, I was wondering.
Do you have any sort of new stock in?
What you after?
I don't know, really.
Something fashionable.
Or cool.
Cool, cool, trendy.
Or whatever they say these days.
Let's go and have a look, shall we?
Come on!
Dad could win this!
Flipping heck!
He's never had this much stamina before! Go on!
Go on, Mitch!Come on, Dad!
Come on, Grey!
Well done!
Well done, baby.
You did really well.
Sorry if the mash is a bit lumpy.
This is lovely.
You can't beat Jean's sausage surprise.
Well, if you twist my arm, I might tell you my secret ingredient.
Although, I did vow I'd take it with me to my grave.
How are you feeling, Mum?
I'm good today, thank you.
You're so brave.
You must never think you're on your own.
Did you hear the crowd outside for the run?
We're both here for you. You know that.
We won't be arguing any more.
Oh, well, that's a relief.
We could go over there after this, show a bit of support.
Can't do this.
I can't sit here and pretend. How long have you got?
What for?Did you hear that? What?Hope crying.
She's having a nap.
It was definitely her crying. Or it could've been Arthur.
Why don't you go with her upstairs and see?
I need to talk to Jean.
All right!
Where is he?
There he is!
There he is! Come on, Mick!
Come on, Daddy!
Come on!
There he goes!
You're nearly there!
You can do it!
Come and be Daddy's mascot? Come and be my mascot, yeah?
My heroes!Oh, yes.
Yes!Woo-o-o!
Give it to him.
Give it to him.Yeah, you won.
I think we deserve a booze after all that, don't we?
Oh, yeah! Don't forget a burger and a pint!
Don't forget the champion!
Uh, oh. Have we finally found the crack in Saint Gray's armour?
What do you mean?He's a bad loser!
He's a man.
I still say they're acting strange.
Are they?
Yes.
Stacey keeps welling up.
And what did she mean, how long have I got?
Til your hysterectomy.
She was talking earlier about it.
She was in a right tizz.
Really?
Her nerves.
Stacey's not nervous.
Not to your face.
But behind closed doors, she's very sensitive.
Especially about your health.
Mum! There you are.
I came second!Well done.
Sorry love, I had to have a sit down halfway round.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Walford 10K champ - Mr Mitchell Baker!
So, Mitch,
when did you make up the ground?
Cos I didn't see you once on the way round.
I'm a slow burn kind of jogger.
Like to conserve my energy.
I saw you driving in your van halfway round.
What? No, couldn't have been my van, babe.
It was someone else's, but it was definitely you driving.
Dad.What?
Did you drive round the race?
Mitchell Baker. You son of a gun!
Would I do something like that? That's exactly something you'd do.
There is no way you'd have beaten Grey fair and square.
All right, all right, everyone, I cheated.
ALL:O-o-oh...
I had to. I wanted to see the look on his face!
Look at his face!
Come on, lighten up, Grey.
Least you know you're faster than him.
You can put your hand in your pocket for that, you dry lunch!
And you did lose to a girl.
Oi!That means my brilliant daughter won!
Let's hear it for Bex!
Three cheers. Hip, hip, hooray!
Sorry about Dad, babe.
It's all right.
Got a bit of a headache.
Boozing after exercise doesn't really suit me.
Course. I'll tell Mum.
Let's just slip out, yeah?
Honestly, I can't believe he did that.
Made himself look like such an idiot.
The event was great.
You should be really proud.
Did you see the crowd?
And Mick looked happy, don't you think?
We've got some paracetamol at home.
Why don't you take a couple of those
and have a nice soak in the bath whilst I cook?
That way, you won't be so sore tomorrow.
SHE GROANS
SHE SCREAMS
SHE CRIES, SCREAMS
I told you not to laugh at me.
Well, go on.
What is it?
Open it.
It's not exactly the same as the one in the magazine,
but the woman in the shop said it was close enough.
And with your clever sewing skills,
you could add bits on, or chop bits off, or do whatever it is you do.
It was a bad idea, wasn't it?
I've creeped you out, I should have asked first.No
No, no.
I just don't know what to say.
Please, Whitney.
I want to show you and Callum that I've changed.
You two are just...
..perfect and you deserve to be happy.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
You not hungry?
Can't eat.
Oh, Stacey. Don't get upset.
I can't help it.
I'm not scared.
Ain't you?
I've accepted it.
In actual fact, it'll be a relief.
I saw a funny programme on the telly last night...
How can you say that?
You know, the geezer that was in The One Show.
I won't feel anything, will I?
Basically be asleep.
What's his name, Stace?
What?That geezer in The One Show.
Will you stop going on about The One Show?
Oh, I know who you mean.
Go on, Jean.
It's on the tip of my tongue. Luke someone.
No, that ain't right.Mark.
You know, the chemo's zapped my brain cells.
Mum, I think we need get a second opinion.
Matt! Matt!
Matt Baker!
Oh, thank goodness. My brain is still working. Mum!
What?
Look, it's all right, Stacey.
Not like I've got any use for it.
How about some pudding?
Use for what?My womb.
Your womb?
Why? What did you think I was talking about?
Your life, Jean.
We've got some ice cream in the freezer.
Hey, you.Hey.
What do you think?
What?
Do you not like it?
It's not really you, is it?
What do you mean?
I'm not very good with clothes.
It's just a bit...
Cheap?
Don't be upset, sweetheart.
All I mean is, I love you exactly as you are.
OK, I admit it, but I did it for the right reasons.
It's like I said yesterday.
Tell a white lie for them to tell the truth.
This ain't a white lie, Nan.
It's a great big dirty one.
It's not like she ain't got form.
She arranged my wake, for God's sakes.
I feel...
Oh, keep your hair on.
Oh, I'm sorry, Jean. I didn't mean that.
Sorry.
I can't even look at you.
Anyone else you want to kill off, while you're at it?
Stacey, you'll be next.
You think that's funny, do you? Oh, get off your high horse.
But it worked, didn't it? You're friends again.
You can leave all this behind you. No, Nan. We ain't friends again.
No way. Only put a lid on it for Jean.
Yeah, and now the lid's well and truly off.
Just cos she hasn't got weeks, don't mean to say it's not serious.
She still could die!
Ain't that worth nothing?
Yeah. It is worth something, Nan.
And Mum, I'm always there for you.
You know that, and time is precious, yeah?
But it ain't that precious. Yeah, you're right!
Well done, Mo.
You know, I've wasted enough time here.
I'm sorry! I panicked, all right?
I miss you.
I miss my family.
I'm a silly old woman that can't cope on her own.
Yeah?Yeah.
Well, tough.
No, not you, Jean.
Please, don't go!
Don't go.
Hey, don't be like that.
You sore?
A bit.
I'm sorry.
You know I never mean it.
But how do you think I felt?
My own wife laughing at me in public like that?
I wasn't laughing...
I've moved here for you, Chan.
So you could be near your family.
Do you think that's easy for me?
No.
Not like I've got a family of my own, is it?
My dead mum isn't ringing me up every day, is she?
I'm sorry.
But I do my best to fit in with the Taylor clan, don't I?
And it's hard work.
Your mum sets my teeth on edge.
And your dad is an absolute disgrace of a man.
But I put up with them, don't I?
And it's all for you.
All to keep you happy.
I appreciate that.
But what do I get in return?
You turning on me, ganging up with them,
making me feel like the outsider.
I wasn't laughing at you, Grey.
I was laughing at my dad.
He's ridiculous... It's not just about that!
You've been distant with me all week.
No, I haven't.You spend all the time at the salon.
You couldn't even be bothered to come to the photo shoot yesterday.
I told you, I got caught up with a customer...
I do everything for you, Chan.
I give and I give and I give, and you treat me like I'm nothing.
How can you say that?
You know how much I love you. Oh, do you?
It's a funny way of showing it.
I've palmed the kids off on Mum.
I cook your favourite dinner!
I buy your favourite wine!
Please, don't start another fight!
And please don't act the victim.
Let's just put it behind us now, OK?
You were brilliant today.
I'm so proud of you.
How much did the promotion raise?
Yeah, we nicked a few hundred quid.
That's great. You must be made up.
It's not enough.
I went ahead and I...
..booked Ollie's private assessment.
It's going to cost us three grand.
I just thought the extra punters would add up,
but I was kidding myself.
We agreed we'd wait for one on the NHS.
That's going to take months and he starts school soon.
We've talked about this. We have to be patient.
The Local Authority might not take a private assessment anyway,
what's the point of forking out...? I just wanted to do something.
I know!
I know.
We have to be honest.
A magic pot of money...
..is not going to solve this.
Nothing is.
Then, what's the point?
When I saw Ollie in your arms earlier,
when you carried him over that finishing line,
how happy he was.
That's the point.
Now, you give that extra money to the autism charity and we...
..take it one day at a time.
Did you see the look on Grey's face?
I don't think he saw the funny side.
Talking of which, you think it's safe to phone Chantelle?
Don't want to interrupt anything.
PHONE VIBRATES
I'll leave it.It's OK.
No, it's just Mum.
No, go on. Answer it.
Mum?
All right, love?
Not interrupting, am I?
It's fine.
How are the kids?
Yeah, they're all right.
They're upstairs watching TV with Bailey and Linda's boy.
Just wondering what time you want them back.
Couple of hours all right?
I'll see you later, then.
To my gorgeous wife.
