00:00How are you doing?
00:30Coping.
00:32Just.
00:33She was a very special lady.
00:35Thanks, Kirk.
00:40It's up.
00:41Please.
00:44That's right.
00:45I still keep feeling that people are judging me.
00:49It's difficult for those left behind.
00:53What am I like, eh?
00:55I've been meaning to put a card through your door.
00:57I'm so, so sorry for your loss.
00:59Yeah, she was in her prime and then her life's just taken from her.
01:04Many wonderful people's lives are.
01:07But they live on.
01:09Through our memories.
01:11I better get to work.
01:18You back?
01:19Oh, I was hoping to get back before you, er, got up morning.
01:22I've been to the corner shop to get us some stuff for a fry-up.
01:24Well, thank you.
01:25It's the least I can do.
01:27What with you letting me stay with this, er,
01:29this, you know, investigation.
01:32Listen, I'm sure the police won't charge your mum.
01:35Julie didn't have long left and your mum loved her.
01:38Oh.
01:39Oh, sorry.
01:40I've got to take this.
01:41Hello.
01:42Hiya, mate.
01:43Yeah.
01:44You don't look so sure.
01:45What?
01:46She'll be with you on, er...
01:47Of course I am.
01:48Eileen's no killer.
01:49I mean, with hindsight, I wish I didn't ban Julie as soon as I picked her up.
02:02That way the police wouldn't be able to investigate.
02:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:06Sounds like you do think that she gave Julie the codeine then.
02:11And look, I don't blame you for that.
02:14There's no shame in it either.
02:16She would have done it as an act of compassion.
02:19That's not what I'm saying.
02:23No, what I'm saying is that, well, if she did do it,
02:29and they did do an autopsy, then they might find traces of codeine
02:35in Julie's bloodstream, so...
02:38Well, that doesn't reflect well on your mum, does it?
02:41Embalming would have covered all that up.
02:45I mean, it was only the two of them there.
02:50Mum's meds.
02:52Two plus two equals...
02:55Four.
02:57I think she did it.
03:00She did it.
03:01Well, enjoy your first day, son.
03:06Cheers, Mum.
03:07Do a bit of hard graph for once instead of sitting gaming all day.
03:10Yeah, well, don't forget, this is just something to give him a bit of a break
03:13while he's revising for his exams.
03:15Erm, I've popped some carrots and hummus in there for you.
03:19What's wrong with a sausage roll and a can of Coke?
03:21Ah, well, it's very nice to see that you care about what you put in your body, Mick.
03:25I'm sure you're on a Donny's under there.
03:28Right.
03:29First day.
03:30Maybe one of many.
03:31Now, there's loads of trades you can learn.
03:33Make a career of it.
03:34Good money.
03:35Is he getting paid for this?
03:36Well, you know, if he works hard and sticks at it, he might throw him a few quid.
03:39Why?
03:40What about me?
03:41I need some money for my new Xbox.
03:43Well, you'll have to save up your pocket money, won't you?
03:45If he's earning money, I want to start.
03:47I want to do a work placement at Zynga.
03:49Who?
03:50Gaming designer.
03:51Look, we're gonna stand in that ring all day, or what?
03:54No.
03:55Stickler for timekeeping me.
03:57See you later.
03:59That's the barrel's changed.
04:04What?
04:05Hey.
04:06Fair play to Jenny for ploughing on.
04:08Very dignified.
04:09Still can't believe what that Daisy did to her.
04:12Yeah, I'm sorry it turned out like that.
04:14I'm sure Daisy had a reason.
04:16Gossiping about me instead of working.
04:19Carla asked me to open up and get the place set up.
04:22Says she's got some potential buyers coming round.
04:24Carla just can't spring buyers on Jenny like that.
04:27It has to go through her first.
04:29Actually, it doesn't.
04:30She can do what she wants.
04:32The deeds have officially been signed over to Carla, so...
04:35It's her baby now.
04:37But I'm still your boss, so...
04:39Back to work.
04:44I really enjoyed hanging out last night.
04:46Yeah.
04:47Have you had anything else from the blackmailer?
04:51No, not yet.
04:53I know it's coming though.
04:55I mean, eventually they are going to ask me for money and I'm skinned, aren't I?
04:58So...
04:59I could take the day off work if you like.
05:01Why?
05:02Well, I just don't want you to be on your own while this creeps upsetting you.
05:05We could find a series to binge watch.
05:07Look, you've done enough for me, okay?
05:08Anyway, I'm not sitting round here all day.
05:10I need to go and look at another flat later.
05:11I could go with you if you like.
05:12Bobby, I'm fine.
05:15Yeah, well...
05:16I just want you to know I'm there for you.
05:19Yeah, I know.
05:23Maybe I should just...
05:24...come and tell the police.
05:26Yeah, I still think you should keep them out of it.
05:27Yeah, you keep saying that.
05:29It's been a few days since you've had any threats.
05:32Maybe he's just got bored.
05:36How do you know they were a he?
05:37Eh?
05:40You just said he.
05:42But they never said that they were a he.
05:45So...
05:46Well, slip of the tongue, I guess.
05:48Plus, your mind always defaults to the perpetrator being a man, doesn't it?
05:53Yeah, you're not wrong about that.
05:54Anyway, he, she, they, whoever.
05:57They probably got bored and moved on to some other poor soul.
06:03Right.
06:04I'd best be off.
06:05Text me if you want a hang, yeah?
06:12Ah, Roy.
06:14Just a, just a tea for me, please.
06:17And, yeah.
06:18Well, go on then.
06:19I'd like to go to Macclescare Connaught to celebrate.
06:22Well, what, what's the cause of your celebration?
06:25I have just bagged myself another placement with CID.
06:28Oh, well, congratulations.
06:30I'm, I'm very pleased for you.
06:32Thank you, Roy.
06:33I mean, I just hope this one helps my career progress more than the last one.
06:35So, you see these two piles of bricks?
06:38One of them is useless, covered in cement.
06:41The other one's nice and clean.
06:42We can use them.
06:43So, it's your job to turn that lot into that lot.
06:47How?
06:48You take your brick, use this chisel to get everything off.
06:51Then you do another one.
06:53All of it?
06:54Sounds like a bit of a grim job.
06:55What?
06:56You need to speak to a therapist or something?
06:58I think he's worried about breaking a nail, lads.
07:00Aw.
07:01Actually, you know what?
07:02Before you do that,
07:03give us a hand moving this bag of plaster.
07:05Take it out to the van for us.
07:07Sure.
07:12Come on, get stuck in.
07:14Take your jacket off.
07:26Come on, mate.
07:27Tick-tock.
07:38First wheel of the building chain.
07:40You've got to be able to laugh at yourself.
07:42That's a classic.
07:43You've done me and all there.
07:45They'll send you for left-handed hammer next.
07:47I got sent for a tin of tart on paint once.
07:49Right, I'm off.
07:50Get that lot tidied up.
07:52Top man.
07:55Sorry, are you flat hunting?
08:00Yeah, it's a nightmare, Roy.
08:03You know, I really need to find somewhere
08:04before our foster placement ends
08:05and I don't want to go into temporary accommodation.
08:07It's not suitable for Frankie, is it?
08:09Have you seen it?
08:10Anything suitable?
08:11Yeah.
08:12Well, one.
08:13It looks perfect, but...
08:15It's got a bit of mould in it
08:16and the toilet doesn't flush.
08:18I can't afford the rent anyway, so...
08:20It's notoriously difficult for renters at the moment.
08:25Erm...
08:26Just some advice.
08:27When you are looking at flats,
08:29make sure they've got the right carbon monoxide measures in place.
08:32Right.
08:34Erm...
08:35Is it bad if I haven't got one?
08:36I almost died.
08:39OK.
08:40Erm, well, I'll shove that in my notes then,
08:41along with finding the job and...
08:44getting the rent.
08:46Erm, if I see anything that pops up on the jobs board at the shop,
08:48I'll let you know.
08:49Cheers.
08:50See you both later.
08:51See ya.
09:08You all set?
09:09You don't need to babysit me to go food shopping.
09:11Who wants to do a food shop on the road?
09:13Who even likes to do a food shop?
09:15Yeah, fair point.
09:16Anyway, I've got nothing better to do.
09:19Hi, Debs.
09:20Can you find me the details of that wedding car company
09:23you have a service contract with?
09:25I thought things were you and Ronnie was off.
09:27Yeah, they are.
09:28This is for my wedding fair I'm organising.
09:30Yeah, I'm just throwing myself into work.
09:32Shouldn't you be taking things easy?
09:34And why should you be taking things easy?
09:36You know, organising a wedding fair when she's just split up for my fiancée.
09:42Might be a bit too much.
09:44Oh, Karl.
09:45You have no idea how a woman's mind works.
09:48I'm just cracking on.
09:50A little broken engagement's not going to stop me from achieving great success.
09:53Thank you very much.
09:55I'll go and sort out those details for you.
10:01Mum, where are you?
10:06Call me.
10:07Hi, Todd.
10:08Oh.
10:09Hi, Craig.
10:10I hope that you're managing in this difficult time.
10:14Mum's devastated.
10:16We all are.
10:17We love Julie.
10:19Yeah, I know.
10:21Look, I just came by to tell you that Ned from Parball and Sons,
10:26he'll be coming by to take Mrs. Carp's remains for an autopsy this afternoon.
10:31The body's already been embalmed.
10:35Oh, erm...
10:37Oh, I see.
10:38So he won't be able to do an autopsy?
10:40A toxicology report?
10:41Impossible.
10:43Right, well, they'll still take her away and we'll just let the pathologist decide.
10:50I'll, erm...
10:51I'll see you both then.
10:53What did you say that for?
10:54I panicked.
10:55It just came out.
10:56Oh.
10:57We weren't talking about you doing it.
10:58Talking about it.
10:59No decision was made.
11:00Oh, Todd.
11:01We've just lied to the police.
11:02What are we gonna do now?
11:03Oh, dear.
11:04Four generations of Shuttleworth's reputation trashed in 30 seconds.
11:19We can't risk the police finding something in a bloodstream.
11:34It'll make them more suspicious.
11:35I don't think lying to the police is gonna help your mother's situation.
11:38I can't believe you've dropped me in it, Todd.
11:40It's not like we hadn't discussed the idea.
11:42Disgust?
11:43Yes, if we could do it before the police arrive, but not after.
11:46You were wrong to assume, Todd.
11:48You've painted me right into a corner.
11:49I'm sorry.
11:50If you can embalm her before Ned gets here, then we might be okay.
11:55No.
11:56I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
11:58I'm gonna ring the police and tell them everything.
12:00And then we all go to prison.
12:05Look on the bright side.
12:07If the police can't do an autopsy, they might stop investigating how Julie died.
12:12The music to mum's ears.
12:15Great PR for you.
12:19Can't seem to do anything right where Eileen's concerned.
12:24Oh, yeah.
12:26I would get some brownie points if we got the police off her back.
12:30Not that that justifies lying to them.
12:33But you're right.
12:34We can't let Ned see that Julie's body's not been embalmed.
12:41I'll do it.
12:42Five hundred quid in an envelope in a dustbin at the precinct, and it's spelt wrong.
12:47If this is what they've been building up to, they can shove it.
12:50Yeah, well, you've got to be careful.
12:51They can get you in a lot of trouble, whoever it is.
12:52That's it.
12:53I've got no money.
12:54Everyone round here knows I'm skint, so just blackmail me for money.
12:57It's just stupid, innit?
12:58You know, I feel awful for saying this, but I think I know who's behind it.
13:06Who?
13:11Bobby.
13:13Bobby?
13:14Look, when I told him that I'm going to report to the police, he told me not to twice.
13:17What? Yeah, and?
13:18And back in the caf before, he said he was going to sack off work to spend time with me.
13:21What, so that makes him a blackmailer then?
13:23Come on, Lauren, it's Bobby.
13:24Yeah, I know that.
13:27But he used to like me, didn't he?
13:30He was dead awkward with me and Max.
13:32But now I'm single, I don't know, maybe you might think he's in with a chance or something.
13:35So he's blackmailing you to get closer to you?
13:37It's mad, he's one of the nice ones.
13:39Yeah, I know, and I...
13:41I so want it not to be him.
13:45He's one of the few people that's ever been nice to me, ever looked out for me.
13:48I want to be wrong and say that I'm being unreasonable
13:51and that I'm tiring him with the same brush as other people that I've met in my life, but...
13:56I don't know.
13:58I guess I can't help but think all men want to lie and use me.
14:01Yeah, not Bobby.
14:05Right, I've got a plan.
14:08I'm going to call this blackmailer's bluff and we are going to find out if Bobby's up to it or not.
14:13These are some of our regulars.
14:16In fact, they're our owning customers.
14:18You know, without them we would have gone under years ago.
14:21Cheeky beggar.
14:22And through here we have the sitting room.
14:25Who are they?
14:26Potential buyers.
14:28Well, if you want to sell and somebody wants to buy, you've just got to get out of the way.
14:31Well, I just hope whoever buys it doesn't change the name.
14:36I think it should be the Rover's Return.
14:39Ryan, how did it get the name Rover's Return?
14:42Yes, sorry.
14:44It's named after a Lieutenant Ridley who just returned from the Boer War when the pub was opened.
14:52You're a fountain of knowledge.
14:55Julie used to say I was a mine of trivia.
14:58She always used to love it when I told her totally random stuff.
15:01Well, thanks for showing us around.
15:05I do hope we hear from you soon.
15:08I don't think it's for us.
15:10Oh.
15:15Do you know something?
15:17I don't know why anybody would want to buy this dump.
15:20Especially with her moping about.
15:22That would knock 50 grand off, would it?
15:25What did you say to them?
15:26They couldn't get out of here fast enough.
15:27Nothing, I was just being my charming self.
15:31But if there isn't a change of ownership, we get to keep our jobs.
15:36That's very sweet.
15:38But your attempt is futile.
15:39More buyers will come.
15:41I need to move on.
15:43We're having one of our spectacular wedding fairs at the hotel again tomorrow.
15:47I was just wondering if your marvellous cake company was having a stand.
15:55Yeah, I can't seem to find you on the system.
16:01Oh, great.
16:03That's good.
16:04Yeah, there should be a lot of local interest.
16:06I look forward to sampling your sponge.
16:10Ta-ta.
16:11See you tomorrow.
16:14Oh.
16:16How is Eric Kev doing since this morning?
16:19Yeah, he's good.
16:21Well, he's as good as he can be.
16:22Listen, I think it's great that you're full of all these ideas.
16:28But just to remind you, you do already have a full-time job running this in your other hotels.
16:33Only so much you can do on your own.
16:36Maybe you should think about bringing on someone.
16:40Share the load.
16:41I'm fine.
16:43I know maybe one day I won't be.
16:46And I'll need help with the books and stuff like that, but I can only really trust family.
16:51That kind of thing.
16:53And Ronnie.
16:57But that day is not here yet, so drop it.
17:03Debbie, I think you need help now.
17:06Drop it.
17:07What kind of pranks?
17:11Oh, so Mick had him lift this massive bag of plaster here.
17:14Yeah.
17:15But he'd already cut it open so it went all over him.
17:17I mean, I was going to say something, but Liam was laughing, so...
17:21I think he enjoyed the banter, weirdly.
17:23Cheers, mate.
17:24Cheers to you.
17:25See you.
17:27Hi.
17:28Hello.
17:29Do you sell single envelopes?
17:30Oh, and have you got an old newspaper I could use?
17:32Er, yeah.
17:33To both.
17:34But you can have it for free.
17:35As well as the old newspaper, of course.
17:37I don't want charity.
17:38You're a single mum with no job.
17:40I'd sooner give you a helping hand.
17:42Might stop you from shoplifting.
17:45I wouldn't rob an envelope.
17:46Anyway, we'll pay you back.
17:48Hmm.
17:49Also, since I last saw you at the cafe, I've heard there might be a job on the tills at Freshco.
17:54Yeah.
17:55I'm still in the group chat and my old manager said they're looking for someone ASAP.
17:58I could put in a good word for you, if you want.
18:00Yeah.
18:01Yeah.
18:02Yeah, that'd be great.
18:03Okay.
18:04Ta.
18:05I'll get you that newspaper.
18:08How are you bearing up?
18:10Oh, I'm just going through her stuff.
18:13I'm not sure there's anything of much value.
18:15Well, all of it has sentimental value.
18:17You don't want to get rid of it.
18:19You should recycle it.
18:22My, erm...
18:23My colour analyst says that blue suits me.
18:29You're welcome to it.
18:34Oh, suits you.
18:37Yeah, but it suited her better.
18:40She was effortlessly elegant.
18:43I can't believe that we've lost her.
18:45Do you believe in the afterlife?
18:48Not really.
18:51Pity.
18:52Could give you some comfort.
18:53I know some great mediums who could try and get in touch with her.
18:57Well, maybe they could come back and tell the police that I didn't have anything to do with her death.
19:03We all know you're innocent of any wrongdoing.
19:05But, I mean, in hindsight, the two of you wouldn't have gone off to a totally secluded place and her take a fatal dose of your...
19:15...your pills.
19:17You're innocent.
19:19And luckily you've got lovely George.
19:20I mean, he comes into his own at times like this.
19:23Yeah, I'm lucky to have him.
19:24Sometimes he just doesn't go about things in the right way.
19:30Mary.
19:35Tie me up.
19:36Then I'm all set.
19:39Todd.
19:41What if they turn up while I'm doing it?
19:42That's why you need to get in there.
19:44Yeah.
19:45I'll put some music on, then I'll get started.
19:47George, the time's ticking.
19:48Because I want to play some tracks, you see, from my favourite bands.
19:51Makes it more personal, doesn't it?
19:52And Brian gave me one of her CDs.
19:53Get a move on, George!
19:54Alright.
19:56Lock the door and keep it guarded.
20:12No.
20:15No.
20:28Oi!
20:39I texted him like you dropped the cash off.
20:42Yeah.
20:47Right.
20:48Now we wait.
20:50It is Bobby, haven't we?
20:51No, it's not Bobby.
20:56Do you think we should have put more newspaper in the envelope?
20:58No.
21:00Maybe.
21:01To be honest, do you even know what 500 quid feels like in an envelope?
21:04I've always had it.
21:08Yeah, I think we're on.
21:13I know.
21:15I mean, what's taken him so long?
21:20Hold on.
21:25Hang on a minute, that shit wouldn't ask.
21:27Todd!
21:35George!
21:36Have you seen the state of your hearse outside?
21:38What do you want, Todd?
21:40You told me to get on with embalming Julie's body.
21:43George!
21:45It's the police!
21:50What is going on?
21:51It's going on.
21:52It's going on and I'll see you next time.
21:53I'll see you next time.
21:54I'll see you next time.
21:55I'll see you next time.
21:56Toad said that you'd already done it.
22:13Did he?
22:14Oh, yeah.
22:16Yeah, must have got his wires crossed.
22:18You know, everything's happened so quickly.
22:20Poor lad's still in shock.
22:21You knew that there was going to be an autopsy.
22:23Yet here you are, about to tamper with the evidence.
22:28Do not refer to Eileen's beloved sister as evidence, Craig.
22:31That's very harsh.
22:33The autopsy needed for an investigation into your partner.
22:37Now, it looks suspiciously like you were trying to stop that from happening.
22:40Yeah, no, I know it doesn't look good, but...
22:42Do you know what?
22:43Yeah?
22:44Set it for the tape.
22:46Do what?
22:48You can move the body now.
22:50Thanks.
22:52George.
22:54Ned?
22:56As for you, I need to ask you some questions.
23:00Down at the station.
23:04Get your hands off me!
23:07Millie?
23:09Look, I understand that this has been difficult for you,
23:12but acting up like this has not really changed anything.
23:15We were happy till you came along.
23:17You've trashed our family, ripped our lives apart, and for what?
23:19Look, I get it, all right?
23:21It's tough, but you are nearly 15 years old.
23:24You need to grow up and face the fact that your dad's gay.
23:27All right, he was trapped, living a lie.
23:29Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, don't speak to a lie now.
23:31What's going on?
23:32You've just chugged paint all over the hearse!
23:35I'm sorry, Dad.
23:38Oh, hey, hey, look, it's all right, I know.
23:40I know.
23:40It's all right, sweetheart.
23:42Okay.
23:43Are you kidding me?
23:44I've just told you what she's done.
23:45Never mind what she's done.
23:48What about us, eh?
23:49We've no one to blame for all this.
23:51Come on.
23:52All right, sweetheart.
23:52You come in with me, darling.
23:53Well, it's just a joke.
23:56Dad didn't think you was going to take it serious.
23:58Yeah, well, delete those photos of us, and actually, do you know what?
24:00Give me your phone.
24:02I'll just get my number, anyway.
24:04It's the mum's phone.
24:07Right, so you've been browsing on Maria's phone.
24:08You're a proper little creep, aren't you?
24:10I'm really sorry.
24:12What did you want the money for, anyway?
24:13I mean, it must have been really important if you're willing to blackmail someone.
24:16The Xbox is knackered.
24:18Wow.
24:20What's going on?
24:21Nothing, just hanging out.
24:23All right.
24:25Well, your dad's going to be late today, so come to the salon later, yeah?
24:28Okay.
24:30All right.
24:30See you later, then.
24:32See you.
24:34Why come you didn't dob me in?
24:36Because I've dobbed myself, and I know I'll do one and start me way.
24:43Bet you feel like a right cow.
24:46Assuming Bobby was blackmailing and it was Jake on the one.
24:48I'm trying to be upbeat and optimistic, but I just, I feel like I've lost my identity.
24:59You know, without this place, who the hell even, am I?
25:02Well, I know it sounds cheesy, but you can be whoever you want to be.
25:07But I love running the rovers, making people happy, you know, somewhere to go for them to let off steam at the end of our day.
25:16I used to feel just like that when I worked the clubs.
25:21Oh.
25:22That mean the Capricorn, the Orinoco, the Zambezi.
25:29I played them all.
25:30They used to call me the Weatherfield Nightingale.
25:34Oh.
25:35And I was a right glamour puss.
25:37I sort of wiggle onto the stage in a slinky frock.
25:42Earrings like chandeliers.
25:44Yeah, same.
25:46You know, doing your hair, putting your face on, getting ready to greet your public.
25:51Yes, but it all changed for me, you know.
25:55At the end of the night, they'd switch on the big lights again and then you would see how it really was.
26:01Sticky carpets.
26:03Goodness knows what's going on in the toilets.
26:06And then the horrible smell of stale beer and fags.
26:10Yeah, I know what you mean.
26:11There are downsides.
26:12Oh, definitely.
26:13I used to think that I would keel over and die of boredom working in a paper shop.
26:21All of my highfalutin thoughts turned to dust.
26:24But I just loved it.
26:27You know, that sense of community.
26:30You know, having a glimpse into other people's lives.
26:33And then sending them out with a bag of bonbons and a spring in their step.
26:39You'll find something, love.
26:41I know you will.
26:43You've got a lot going for you, Jenny.
26:45Just try and keep an open mind, eh?
26:48Oh, Jenny's given up the ghost.
26:50So I'm temporary manager just for this shift.
26:52But I do love being in charge, mate.
26:54It suits you.
26:55I don't think it's major talk.
26:56Oh, thank you.
26:57Then again, it could be my Cuban heels.
26:59If I was the boss behind the bar, I'd sing everything.
27:02All the time.
27:03Like in a musical.
27:04Oh, I am.
27:04I know.
27:05Would you like a pickled egg to go with your pint?
27:09Hey, I reckon that could catch on.
27:12Hey, Odell.
27:13Sorry about your weight.
27:14Oh, don't worry about it.
27:16I can see you're really busy.
27:17Has that Jenny got you run ragged?
27:20Well, she's in the back, gassing with Rita.
27:22She's signed a place over to Carla.
27:24She's past Karen.
27:27Sounds like a right, lazy mare.
27:29Hey, she's no better.
27:31Put potential buyers off on purpose.
27:33Tell you what Carla will go, Ape, when I tell her.
27:35I'll tell her.
27:36I will.
27:38No, it's all a bit weird.
27:39I might not have a job here for much longer.
27:41Hey, in that case, I might have a little proposition for you.
27:46Oh, yeah.
27:48I was so lonely as a teenager.
27:52Didn't really have any friends.
27:54I didn't want much for life.
27:56Just big hair, preferably a spiral perm,
28:00and a boyfriend that looked like David Cassidy.
28:03But most of all, I wanted a sister.
28:08I used to fantasize that Annie Lennox was my sister.
28:12Here Comes the Rain Again.
28:13Do you remember that video?
28:16Is that the one where she wore a Victorian nightie
28:17and a blanket round her head?
28:19So alluring.
28:22Yeah, I suspected I might have sapphic tendencies,
28:25but then...
28:26but then I realized the reason I was drawn to her
28:29was because...
28:30she looked so kind.
28:32Julie was kind.
28:39Sensitive and nurturing.
28:43It's like she got all the softness.
28:46Eileen isn't a woman given to emotional excess,
28:50but I'd say she's looking totally bereft.
28:53Oh, she does.
28:55I truly regret reporting her to the police.
28:59She can't even look at me.
29:01Oh, well, I wouldn't sit around too long.
29:04George will whisk you off to the morgue.
29:07What are you on about?
29:08I saw him being carted off in a police van.
29:11Apparently, he was trying to embalm Julie's body,
29:14stop the police from gathering evidence.
29:16Tracey, I know you thrive on conflict, but please...
29:20Well, I suppose if you were trying to off somebody,
29:23having an undertaker boyfriend
29:24would come in really handy.
29:27You're unbelievable.
29:28Maybe the council shall put up a blue plaque.
29:31George and Eileen,
29:32the body snatchers of Weatherfield.
29:34That is uncalled for.
29:37Apologise.
29:37Oh, Roy, I'm only stating the facts.
29:40We all know what she's done.
29:42Large glass of red wine, please.
29:44Oh.
29:47Check this out.
29:48Who have you robbed?
29:49Look, you cheeky cow.
29:50I found out the doormat when I got in.
29:51No way.
29:52Yep, and it says...
29:54Pay off your blackmailer.
29:56Love, Bobby.
29:57Three hearts and a smiley face.
29:58Oh, well, I bet you feel dead mean
30:00after slagging him off like you did.
30:03Just do me a favour and don't tell him
30:04that I thought he was the one blackmailing me.
30:06He'd be deviled.
30:08Don't worry, I'll keep my gob shut.
30:09Ooh, chalky digesting.
30:12Shall we have a biscuit?
30:13Yeah, why not?
30:18Am I just going to take this, yeah?
30:20Oh, no worries.
30:22Hiya.
30:27What, I've got to pay the deposit today?
30:28Listen, I'm in line for a job.
30:30We can just keep the flat for a bit.
30:32Yeah, I'll get back to you later today.
30:33All right, cheers.
30:34Cheers.
30:35What's up with him?
30:48Oh, I don't know.
30:48He's barely said two words.
30:51Hey, Jake, I've got some mince
30:53that's near its sell-by in the fridge.
30:54I thought I could do as a nice shepherd's pie for tea.
30:57Ew.
30:57Oi, don't you be slagging off my mess's cookie.
31:00I'm not even hungry.
31:02All right, well, you won't want to take away pizza for tea,
31:03then, will you?
31:04Yeah, I do.
31:05Please.
31:06Feeling flush?
31:08Nice posh restaurant in town, romantic dinner for two.
31:10Yeah, actually, I said that we'd meet Mick in the Rovers.
31:12Well, Gary...
31:13No, I know you're not his biggest fan,
31:14but, you know, we're going to be working together,
31:15so it'll be nice for you to get to know each other.
31:17It's been ages.
31:22Should we phone or go down there or what?
31:25I just feel like we should be doing something.
31:31You dropped me right, innit, you did?
31:33What?
31:34Telling lies, leaving me in the lurch.
31:36Sorry? What else was we supposed to do?
31:38I cannot cope with being treated like a criminal.
31:40I've not got the Constitution for it.
31:42Well, how did it go?
31:43We've been on pins.
31:45I've been grilled to within an inch of my life.
31:47I think I've managed to convince them.
31:51And presumably you've managed to embalm Julie
31:54before the police arrived?
31:55In your dreams.
31:56It's a slow process, Todd.
31:58It can't be rushed.
31:59Your behaviour has done nothing
32:01but make me look more guilty.
32:04What were you trying to achieve?
32:06The autopsy was only going to show what was in her system,
32:08not who put it there.
32:10Well, don't blame me.
32:11Todd's idea.
32:12Judas!
32:13We were trying to protect you.
32:15From what?
32:15I don't need protection.
32:17I've done nothing wrong.
32:22Oh, my God, you think I did it.
32:25You actually believe that I had a part in my sister's death.
32:29That's what you're saying, isn't it?
32:31I'm sure you had absolutely nothing to do with it.
32:49There you go.
32:50Now, can we please just change the subject?
32:53But I just want you to know that if you did do it,
32:55I would stand by you 100%.
32:57I've told you I didn't do it.
32:59Why can't you believe me?
33:00Why can't you take my word for it?
33:02Look, this is all my fault, all right?
33:03I'm the one that lied to the police
33:04and then pushed George into going along with it.
33:06Why would you do that?
33:08You wouldn't,
33:10unless you felt the same as him,
33:11that I'm guilty.
33:13I mean,
33:14let's face it,
33:15it's not exactly beyond the realms of possibility, is it?
33:17Look,
33:21you've just had the worst time of your life.
33:23We were genuinely just trying to help you.
33:26We shouldn't be going at each other like this.
33:28Julie'd be fuming.
33:29She'd want us to stick together
33:30and take care of each other.
33:33I love you, Eyelash.
33:36Please,
33:37don't push me away.
33:42See, you've started going through Julie's stuff.
33:44Yeah.
33:44Actually, I got a bit of a shock.
33:49Didn't find a big bag of sex toys, did you?
33:51Sorry.
33:53I had a call from Julie's solicitor
33:55about her will.
33:58Turns out she had a life insurance policy.
34:03She's left it all to me.
34:05No way.
34:07How much?
34:10She had made it up.
34:11He's a top lad, you know, Liam.
34:15He really got stuck in today.
34:17See?
34:18He's doing great.
34:20What?
34:21Same again.
34:23Yeah, go on then.
34:24Twist my arm.
34:25Thanks, love.
34:29So,
34:30I believe you're a bit of a joker on the quiet.
34:32What's that?
34:34That prank that you pulled on Liam.
34:36That's a rite of passage.
34:38Teaching him to man up,
34:39well, I could tell your lad loved it.
34:40Being part of the crew.
34:43Yeah, well,
34:44thank you for taking him under your wing.
34:47He looks up to you.
34:50Is Lou not joining us?
34:52It's difficult for her to get away in the evenings, you know.
34:55Cooking the tea,
34:56putting the kids to bed,
34:57getting the stuff ready for school tomorrow.
34:58And that's all her job, is it?
35:01Well, yeah.
35:04I mean, I work hard all day.
35:05I need a break.
35:06She works hard and all.
35:08When's her break?
35:11You know,
35:12you're sounding dangerously like some 1950s throwback here, Mick.
35:16There we go.
35:17I'm sure you don't want a cuppa.
35:29Or perhaps something stronger, Brian.
35:31I just wanted to say I've been to the police station
35:36and withdrawn my statement.
35:40I explained I was overwrought.
35:44Didn't know what I was thinking.
35:49I'm sorry.
35:51I shouldn't have done it.
35:52You've
35:53suffered enough.
35:57Not going to stop the police investigating, though, is it?
35:59Let's just park it there, shall we?
36:02We should be focused on Julie.
36:03Getting together and giving her a really good send-off.
36:07She was looking forward to the afterlife.
36:10I thought it'd be all hearts and flowers,
36:13kittens and bunnies,
36:14frolicking in the sunshine.
36:17She left you a book, Brian?
36:21Keats?
36:24Hither, hither, hither,
36:25love its boon has sent.
36:29If I die and wither,
36:30I shall die content.
36:32It's all a poem.
36:36Lovely.
36:37Shall I let Bob upstairs and get it for you?
36:39Thanks, love.
36:40That book means the world to me.
36:43Did she leave you anything?
36:45She was on the fence about the fringed leather jacket.
36:48Oh, just a few bits and bobs,
36:50you know, sentimental value.
36:52That's all.
36:53Please tell me I got that job.
36:59I'm really sorry.
37:00The manager gave it to his nephew.
37:02Oh, great.
37:03He said he'd bear you in mind if something else comes up.
37:05Yeah, well, I need it now, don't I, Adi?
37:09Sorry.
37:11Do you know what?
37:12Thanks for trying, anyway.
37:14I'll tell you what,
37:15I'll text you his number and then you can,
37:17you can, like, call him directly, yeah?
37:19Right.
37:30Right.
37:32You're a good person.
37:33Ha.
37:34Would you ever do anything horrible
37:36to help someone you love?
37:40Well, um, in the past, um,
37:44I once did something against my better judgment.
37:47What did you do?
37:50Well, suffice to say that
37:51many people would have taken a dim view.
37:56Right.
37:58Well, would you ever go back and change it if you could?
38:00No, I don't think I would.
38:02Roy Cropper.
38:04Big old G.
38:05Who knew?
38:06I'm not proud of myself.
38:08I did what I thought was necessary at the time.
38:13You're not in trouble, are you?
38:15No.
38:16No, it's just hypothetical, that's all.
38:20I'm just going to make a phone call, yeah?
38:25Now, can you vouch for the sweetness of your plums?
38:29Uh, not really, no.
38:31They are firm, though.
38:32Hi, hey.
38:33And the problem is, I presume they're local.
38:35As one door closes, another one opens,
38:38Johnny always used to say.
38:39Well, that's all right.
38:40It must be true.
38:41Come in.
38:46Ryan said I could come through.
38:48Yeah, come on, sit yourself down, help us demolish this gin.
38:51Uh, I've just come to walk you home.
38:54I'll sleep better in my bed, knowing you're safe and sound.
38:57Well, that's very kind of you, Brian.
39:00You're grieving.
39:02And here you are, putting other people before you.
39:05Do you know, he's a good and insane.
39:07Yeah.
39:08Hey, Brian, don't suppose you've got any jobs going at cabin, have you?
39:11No, sorry.
39:13I've got my, uh, full complement of staff at the moment.
39:16Oh, I wouldn't be hasty, love.
39:18I'm a woman of a certain age, and I'm hoping to wind down a little.
39:24And I'm sure there may be some, uh, vacancies.
39:28I can't lose you, Rita.
39:30You're a vital cog in the machine.
39:32Well, this old cog is going to wear out if I don't ease up.
39:36So think on.
39:38When can you start?
39:40Oh.
39:43You sure I can't get you anything to eat?
39:47No, it's a bit knackered.
39:49Why don't you go and have a lie down, eh?
39:52Grab yourself 40 winks while you can.
39:54Yeah, Abby's taking the boys out.
39:56Obviously, he's quiet for a change.
39:59Yeah.
40:00You're right.
40:01I'll, uh...
40:03I'll catch you later.
40:04Yeah.
40:06Give it a shot if you need anything, yeah?
40:08Oh.
40:11Thanks.
40:12For being there for him.
40:14And me, for that matter.
40:17Hmm.
40:18I hate seeing him like this.
40:21No wonder they say illness is the great leveller.
40:24Actually, I think that's death.
40:27Is it?
40:29Oh.
40:30Anyway.
40:31Yeah.
40:32Er...
40:32How are you getting on with your big event?
40:34All good?
40:35Oh, yes.
40:36Everything is under control.
40:39Hey, do you know?
40:39I was reading the statistics today, and get this, right?
40:4540%, more than 40% of marriages end in divorce.
40:5240%.
40:52And what's that got to do with your wedding fair?
40:56Well, it got me thinking, didn't it?
40:59Divorce parties.
41:01Yeah?
41:02Can you imagine?
41:03We could have axe throwing.
41:04You know, get rid of all your anger.
41:06T-shirts made.
41:07I do.
41:08I did.
41:08I don't anymore.
41:09Wheel the next one in.
41:11What about?
41:12We could have cakes, right?
41:14And you could stick your axe on top, made out of marzipan.
41:17That's the bit you eat first.
41:18Come here.
41:19Mmm.
41:20Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.
41:21Inspiring, sister.
41:24Yeah, you see.
41:26I'm not a brainless blob yet.
41:29Don't say that, Debs.
41:31I've been thinking about what you said before,
41:36about getting someone in to help out.
41:38Oh, yeah?
41:39Yeah.
41:41I think you're right.
41:43It's no shame in here.
41:44Get someone you can trust.
41:46Take the pressure off.
41:48I know just the person.
41:51Ryan.
41:53I've worked with him before.
41:54We make a fantastic team.
41:56And I trust him.
41:58I had a chat with him and, yeah, he's really keen.
42:02So, I hired him.
42:04There and then.
42:18You've been avoiding me.
42:21Not easy to hide in a terraced house.
42:25Not exactly odds-all, all, is it?
42:27I've got to ask you.
42:31Why did you lie to Brian?
42:33You know why?
42:36Everyone, including you, thinks I had a hand in Julie's death.
42:39I had a wadge of money into the equation.
42:41Yeah, I've realised that could look bad, but...
42:43All I was lacking was the motive.
42:45And now, I have one, apparently.
42:47You don't have to see the worst in people all the time.
42:51I mean, the folk round here, they know you.
42:52They know how much you loved your sister.
42:54Oh, stop patronising me.
42:55You know what?
42:55Sometimes you can be just so stupid.
42:59It's not just the gossips queuing up to condemn me.
43:02Thanks to you and Todd,
43:03the police are going to take these accusations even more seriously.
43:07All you have done is make me look even more guilty.
43:10And, to make matters worse,
43:12you two look like my accomplices.
43:14Guess what, Eileen?
43:14We've been over this a million times.
43:16We were trying to protect you.
43:17But the last time, I didn't do it!
43:19Guess what, what if you did do it?
43:20Well, when are you going to get it through your thick skull
43:22that I've done nothing wrong?
43:25Get out of my sight!
43:27Get out of my sight!
43:57Get out of my sight!
