Coronation Street (1960) - full transcript

HE TAPS ON WINDOW

Oh, I see you've got them

waiting on you, hand and foot.

They keep forcing Christmas treats

on me. What can I do?

Yeah, you're right, be rude not to.

It's a good job I'm getting out

today, that's all I'm saying.

Be glad to get home.

Well, you're in no fit state

to be by yourself.

You should come and stay with me.

No, no, honestly, I'll be fine.

I'll be the judge of that.

I'll go in with Bertie,

you can have my room.

OK, I don't have the strength

to argue.

Good.

The police are coming

to see me later.

What are you going to tell them?

I'm gonna tell them the truth,

that it was Peter.

I know you said that your attacker

smelled like whiskey,

but Peter isn't not the only one

who likes to have a drink.

You know that Gary's

under suspicion, too? No.

Yeah, the police are all over him.

It's mad.

Something about a body in the woods,

or something.

Look, I've got no time

for the bloke, you know that.

But it wasn't him, it was Peter.

He came to see me yesterday.

I know.

Trying to cover his tracks. Told me

not to point the finger at him.

That's fair enough.

You can't tell the police it was him

unless you're absolutely sure.

Think, think what this

is gonna do to Simon.

The whole family,

it's gonna implode.

He should've thought of that

before he put me in here!

HE SIGHS

Look, I know it's not

what you wanna hear,

but I've got no doubt in my mind.

It was Peter.

You know, we don't have to go.

No-one's forcing us.

We could just get in a car

and go anywhere we want.

Chester's nice at Christmas,

they've got lovely lights.

Very refined, is Chester.

We could do one of them boat trips

if we were feeling brave.

I wish.

You get to see all the backs

of those big houses.

How the other half live.

Funerals are for the living,

not the dead.

We're going for Yasmeen's sake.

I know. No escape,

not in the real world.

You know, no-one would blame you

if you stayed away.

I don't want to go really,

but I'd feel guilty if I didn't.

He was still my granddad.

Well, it's complicated.

I mean, you loved him once.

I imagine that you can't

just switch those feelings off,

regardless of what he's done.

Nah, you're wrong.

He means nothing to me.

The sooner that he's in the ground,

the better.

I just want this day

over and done with.

Is this today's challenge? Doing the

washing up as slowly as possible.

Trying not to clatter too much,

don't wanna wake Mason up.

Oh, no, he's spark out. He's making

his little snuffly, snoring noises.

Yeah, no, I know.

I recorded him on my phone.

Oh, listen, I'm gonna nip out

to the shops in a bit,

get a few bits and bobs.

Are you OK to look after him?

Yeah, sure,

I'll stick him in a pram,

take him for a run

around the Red Rec.

Are you loving it?

Even more than I thought I would.

It really makes you think,

though, doesn't it?

About what Leanne's lost.

All those little moments

that make up a day.

It must be killing her

to have nothing but memories.

Have you spoken to her?

No, I've left her a few messages,

but she's not got back to me.

It's a tough time, Christmas,

when you're living with a loss.

Yeah, well, at least

she's got Stella looking after her.

That's the main thing.

BABY CRIES

Oh, His Lordship's awake.

BOTH: I'll go.

Go on.

FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS

Oh, what's the rush?

You're gonna wear yourself out.

I like it clean.

Gran, it's clean enough.

You're right.

I thought you might've

changed your mind about today.

You know, doing all this for him?

It's nothing. You're a much more

decent human being than I am.

Mind you, there's something

to be said about seeing him buried.

Covered in a ton of earth.

Leave it, Alya, please.

Let's see him talk his way

out of that one. Alya!

Sorry.

I can't believe

you've put his picture on this.

Who'd wanna see his ugly mug?

It's the done thing.

We've got to do everything properly.

There's only one T!

What?

"Gone but not forgotten."

They've spelt it wrongly.

I've been to see Adam.

He's getting out today.

Oh, I'm thrilled for him.

No Simon?

He's at a mate's.

What's all this, then?

Christmas presents

that don't make the grade?

Charity shop's going to make

a killing this year, is it?

I'm going away for a while, Daniel.

If you leg it,

everyone's gonna assume

you were the one who attacked Adam.

Including the police.

I don't care.

Well, you should. They'll come

after you, they'll lock you up.

They'll have to catch me first.

Please stay.

We can find Adam,

we can talk things through.

The last thing I wanna do

is see him.

I know that he's hurt you,

but you're not exactly innocent

in all of this yourself.

I can barely stand to look at him.

Or Carla, come to that.

They deserve each other.

Typical! Someone's scoffed

all the best ones.

Hm, I blame him.

Yeah, you know it was his turn

to do the washing up an' all.

He's not done the tap.

See, lazy as well as greedy.

Carry on like that, Barney, lad,

and I'll have to stick you in a pie.

You know, yesterday

was the best day ever.

But, now that

we're back together properly,

you do know that's it forever,

don't you?

You make it sound like a threat

rather than a promise.

Oh, no, it is. It is.

Because if you ever try and dump me

again, I will hunt you down.

Hm, it seems like you're joking, but

I know you actually mean every word.

I love hanging out with you,

you know?

Good, cos you're kind of

stuck with me now.

But I do get a bit bored sometimes.

I'm sorry it's not all

fun and fireworks (!)

Well, maybe I should

go back to work.

It's a bit soon, isn't it?

Dunno. Do you think I'd struggle

with only half a brain?

I don't remember that

being your exact diagnosis.

Well, you know, Roy's let me do

the odd hour here and there,

so do you think

he'd take me back properly?

There's only one way to find out,

I suppose.

This is a complete farce.

Head to toe in black.

You know if I was being honest,

I'd be wearing something cheery.

What, a T-shirt with a big,

bright yellow smiley face on it?

Yeah, and deely boppers.

A sequined fright wig.

D'you know, I can't believe

Yasmeen's going ahead with all this.

She owes that man nothing.

If I were her, I'd have chucked him

in a peat bog and have done with it.

As much as I hate Americanisms,

this might be the only thing

that gives her closure.

And me, too, hopefully.

Oh, flamin' thing!

Tim, let me do it.

I'm fine.

Try not to get wound up.

This is only a few hours

and it'll all be over.

Pretending that we respect him,

making out we're gonna miss him.

I hope he's rotting in hell.

Hmm, we could do turkey schnitzels?

What's that when it's at home?

You just coat it in breadcrumbs.

What you don't use the actual

slices of bread? Just the crumbs?

How is that better than a butty?

It's a good question.

I don't think you can do it

with cooked leftovers anyway.

Should I give Summer another shout?

She's taking her time.

Probably practising

her synchronised swimming.

She loves a long bath, that one.

My bladder's fit to burst.

I can just leave this here,

I'll see her tomorrow anyway.

No, no, no, wait.

She'll want to see you.

Oh, I'm starving.

What else have we got?

HE SIGHS

Er, ah, could do turkey stew.

There's a tin of chickpeas

going begging.

Times like this,

I wish we had a dog.

I give up. Thought you were meant

to be working at the helpline today?

Don't tell me

you've got bored of it, already?

No, I like helping out.

I'll volunteer

as long as they need me.

I didn't think you had

a charitable bone in your body.

Charming!

I'm happy to be proved wrong.

You know what,

let's swerve the turkey.

Oh, right, Quality Street on toast

it is, then!

No! Come on. I'll take you down

to Speed Daal. Treat you to a curry.

Hopefully, it'll make up

for the other night.

Please stay. You're just making

things worse for yourself.

I just got your text.

HE SIGHS

What's this? You're guilt-tripping

me into staying, are you?

So, you were just gonna go

without saying goodbye to me, then?

No, Si, of course not. Look my train

doesn't leave for a couple of hours.

Where are you going to go?

I'm gonna stay with a mate

in Plymouth.

You remember Joe,

with the glass eye?

I'm gonna stay with him.

There's gonna be no-one there

to care enough

to stop you from drinking

and you'll end up on another bender.

No, no. That's not gonna to happen,

OK, I promise you.

Honestly?

Yes, honestly.

Because if I start, I know

I won't be able to stop. Promise.

Dad, I hate

what they've done to you.

You can't let them drive you away.

Hey, I'm not gonna be gone for long,

I promise.

I just wish I could come with you.

I'm gonna hate

being stuck here by myself.

I would love nothing more than that.

But Leanne's back soon.

She needs you.

I know.

Si, I hate leaving you, I do.

It hurts me,

but believe me when I tell you...

..I don't have a choice.

Oh, hey, how's he been?

He's such a perky little bloke.

Nothing seems to phase him.

Aw, well, that is because

he feels so at home with us.

Ah, I see you've given the

credit card a bit of a hammering.

Yeah, well, I tried

to cover all the bases.

Get a good mixture of things, so,

educational, entertaining, daft.

A puppy that does a back flip?

Oh, it yaps, as well. Puzzles

to help develop spatial awareness.

Oh, and, yeah, the cutest teddy!

That is cute. What does he do?

Does he talk? Wee? Clap his paws?

Well, she's cuddly! I think that we

should call her Mabel.

Yeah, I think

she looks like a Mabel.

Dare I ask how much all this cost?

Hey, look, we are helping Mason

to make memories.

You can't put a price on that.

He's not stopping with us for long,

social services

made that very clear.

Yeah, I know. That's why

I'm making the most of him.

And, you know, when he does go home,

we'll be welcoming

other children into our home

and all this stuff

will come in handy.

Well, yeah, kids love stuff.

Oh, I have missed that little face.

He's asleep.

Well, he won't mind

if I sneak a kiss then, will he?

Don't wake him!

All right!

'Oh, we got this one, as well.'

'You like this one, don't you?'

'I think you like Mabel.'

It's so good

to see you up and about.

You say that like you mean it.

Of course I mean it.

Daniel said you came

to visit me in hospital.

Sat by my bedside for hours.

Playing the part

of the dutiful wife?

I thought that ship had sailed?

I was worried about you.

D'you want a cup of tea?

Yeah, go on.

Must've been tempting,

me lying there, all helpless.

Why, what do you mean by that?

I'm just surprised

you didn't take the opportunity

to put a pillow over my face.

You're gonna think

I'm a right soppy mare,

but I was stroking your hair

and I sang you a song.

With your voice, it's lucky

I survived to tell the tale.

Er, hey, you! My Fernando

has brought a tear to many an eye.

I missed you.

I've missed you.

You know you, you really hurt me

when you slept with Carla.

But I've been far

from blameless myself, so...

You're not telling me

you've slept with someone else, too?

No! I wouldn't do that to you.

I'm saying, I've made mistakes.

And when I realised

I was in the wrong,

I've done everything I can

to put it right.

I know what you've done, Sarah.

You've talked to the police,

haven't you?

Told the truth about Gary.

Tipped them off about the woods.

PHONE PLAYS: 'Walking On Sunshine'

Ryan!

Switch it off!

I hope no-one notices.

Are you still fretting

about that typo?

For goodness sake, Gran.

He was a stickler for detail.

He'd be absolutely furious.

Good.

GHOSTLY: You couldn't even

get that right, could you?

Stupid cow.

MESSAGE ALERT

Oh, Tim says

we should go without him.

Well, where is he?

He didn't say.

Is he meeting us there, or what?

ALYA: I feel like pelting his coffin

with rotten eggs.

I bet there's some dog muck

in the ginnel, that'd do.

Are you OK?

You don't have to

go through with this, you know?

GHOSTLY: Are you going to be dancing

a merry little jig on my grave?

I, erm...

..I need some water.

I'll get it for you.

I'll get it.

I'd like a minute or two alone.

The cars will be here in a minute.

I'll see you there.

I'll walk, I need some air.

Eventually, I realised

that everything

you said about Gary was true.

Why now?

It was seeing you, lay there,

in that hospital bed.

I was so scared.

Yeah, you're not the only one.

Well, I know we're over,

but the idea of losing you for good,

it was just unbearable.

Same goes.

Nothing like a near death experience

to focus the mind.

I thought it was time for me to show

where my true loyalties lay.

So, I made the call.

About Rick's body.

I didn't just do it

because I felt bad about the past,

I did it because I am convinced

that he is the one who hurt you.

It's time Gary paid for all

the terrible things he's done.

I need to speak to you.

It's Peter...

Can I just stop you there?

He's told me never to darken

his door again, you know that.

Adam's woken up.

And he's convinced that Peter's

the one that attacked him.

What's Peter had to say for himself?

Well, he's packing his stuff,

he's doing a runner.

Yeah, that's how

he deals with things, he legs it.

We can't just let him go.

We?

He's in this mess because of you.

Yeah, Daniel... You dropped a bomb

in the middle of my family.

The least you can do is help me

to sort the fallout.

How many times?

Listen, he won't listen to me...

If we can just get the two of them

in the same room to talk it out.

Because the minute the police are

involved, that's it, it's game over.

You're wasting your time.

Don't you think that we've

been through enough as a family?

If you don't care about any of us,

at least spare a thought for Simon.

I wanna help.

OK, but who am I to go wading in,

laying down the law?

I mean, you've said so yourself,

haven't I hurt them enough?

Just forget it!

Daniel!

I'll just have

to sort him out myself.

PAUL: Oh, hot date

at twelve o'clock.

BILLY: Who's that?

It's Ajay,

he's the manager of the helpline.

Todd doesn't waste any time.

All right?

Yeah, you?

This is Billy, my boyfriend.

Billy, this is Ajay.

Pleased to meet you.

Yeah, you too.

So, er, what did you get

for Christmas?

Better than a pair of socks

and a selection box, eh?

So, are you two an item, then,

or what?

Give us chance.

I've only known him two minutes.

I've had my beady eye on you

since day one.

Not sure if I should be flattered

or scared.

This is so typical of you.

What? Volunteering at a helpline so

you can make a move on the manager!

That's not very Christian

of you, vicar.

I thought you'd have

an ulterior motive.

You got me. No flies on you.

You know, I actually thought puppies

were the cutest creatures

on the planet,

but it turns out

babies are the best.

You just wait

until they turn into toddlers

and then you can get them

to do errands for you.

Oh, so that's why

you want to foster,

cos you want to have

an army of little helpers!

Our Les had me and Leanne

run ragged.

"Make us a cup of tea, Toyah.

Do us a butty, Lee."

Right I'm just gonna check

on the little fella.

Oh, I tell you what,

we should train Mason

to sweep chimneys

while he's still nice and small?

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Yeah, it's all good, thanks.

What, today?

IN OTHER ROOM: 'You just

don't wanna go to sleep, do you?'

No, it's, erm...

I just hoped we might have him

for a bit longer than that.

Yeah... Yeah, of course.

You're right, it's...

It's just as it should be.

Back to his mum.

'We need to tuck you back in

'cos you've made a right mess,

haven't you?

'Yes, you have.'

There you are,

your name is added to the rota.

Looking forward

to taking a break for a bit.

I fancy being a kept man.

In your dreams.

We shall be closing early

this evening.

I have a fascinating

documentary to watch

featuring the

Trans Siberian Railway.

Nice one.

It's always been a dream of mine to

travel from Moscow to Vladivostok.

Omsk, Ulan Ude, Siberia...

Roy, Roy, can I just stop you there?

Stop saying words that are making me

feel like I'm going mad.

Siberia! You'll need your thermals

packed for that trip, Roy.

It covers 9,259 kilometres,

that's 5,753 miles, over seven days.

SHE YAWNS

Are you tired?

No, I'm bored.

Honestly, I feel like I'm falling

asleep standing up, like a cow.

Well, why don't I find you

something to do, to wake you up?

Go for it, Roy.

I shall start you off

on some light, simple duties.

Table wiping, cake serving,

that type of thing.

Yeah, I'll be your first customer!

Cake me up!

OK, you are on. Where's me pinny?

You're off, then?

Yeah, just run away, leave

everybody else to fix your mess.

You need to stay here and you need

to face up to what you've done.

Daniel, I've done nothing wrong!

I've been in this exact same

situation before, when Tina died.

And they point the finger at me

and I had nothing.

I had no alibi. I had no defence,

I had no nothing, OK?

I can't go to prison. Not again.

I'm not waiting for them

to come for me.

I'm leaving while I still can.

Well, what makes you so convinced

that you're gonna go to prison?

If you've done nothing wrong,

like you said...

Just leave it, Daniel, please.

Did you attack Adam, or didn't you?

What? You can't even look me

in the face any more?

HE RETCHES

You did it, didn't you?

Just admit it, Peter!

It's not here, where is it?

Hey, the ambulance will be here

any minute.

Don't worry, you'll be at

the hospital before you know it, OK?

You're gonna be all right.

Where is it?

The gardens on Victoria Street,

opposite Weatherfield tram stop.

It is urgent. You need to hurry,

he's doubled up

and he's bringing up blood.

I don't know why,

but I just had to come out to look.

To see if it really happened?

That I haven't dreamt

the whole thing.

Sorry, dreamt isn't right.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

It's why we have funerals, puts

a full stop on it and helps to heal.

Yeah, I suppose.

I couldn't face it.

Nah, me neither.

I know I was the one pushing for it,

saying a funeral's important,

but at the end of the day...

Well...

Being there, listening

to the service,

it wouldn't be right.

No.

Would you like to come in?

I mean, please don't feel obliged,

you don't have to, it's just...

I thought you might...

Yeah, I'd like that,

if that's all right with you?

Of course.

Gary could have smacked me any time,

why wait until I was in The Bistro?

Where there weren't any witnesses?

Right, so, Maria said he was with

her, but now she's taken it back.

Who is gonna have a bigger motive

than Gary to hurt you?

Peter. Honestly,

the look in his eye that night,

the hatred he had for me,

he could've killed me.

Not Peter, no.

He was so angry about me sleeping...

Look, put it this way,

he made no secret of his delight

in me being in hospital.

Look, I'm not arguing that he might

have wanted to hurt you,

but I don't think he would do it.

I don't think he could,

not to you, you're family.

Whereas Gary...

Well, we both know

what he's capable of. True.

And I'm convinced

he moved Rick's body that night.

He wouldn't have had time

to attack me and move Rick's body.

That's what Gary said,

but I think he could.

Be in two places at the same time?

No, he tried to kill you,

then he goes off to the woods.

Why would he do that if

he was concentrating on moving Rick?

To buy time. To shut you up.

To stop you going to the police.

And what will he do next

to keep us quiet?

I thought that seeing him

buried would be the end of it.

I know he's dead, I saw it.

It's silly...

What is?

You'll think I'm mad.

No, no. I won't. I promise you.

There are times that...

..I see Geoff.

He was here on Christmas Day,

carving the turkey.

What d'you mean,

like, a ghost or summat?

No. But in another way, yes.

It's like he's...

He's in my head, under my skin.

It's the memory of him

that haunts me.

You see, I said you'd think

I was mad.

No. No, no, no, no.

I hear his voice telling me off.

Not rinsing the dishes properly

after I'd washed them,

not putting the laundry away...

Not...

Not keeping the remote controls in

the right order or the right place.

I hear him all the time,

whispering in my ear

and I thought the funeral

would put an end to it...

But now I think...

..I might...

I think he might be...

..with me for the rest of my life.

I'm... I'm so sorry.

No, no, no, no, I'm sorry,

you shouldn't

have to listen to this.

No, no, no, no, no.

It's good...

No, it's good

that you're telling me this

because it helps me to understand

why I didn't go today.

Because, more than anything,

after everything he's done...

..I was worried that I might cry.

That I'd sit there

and I'd cry and...

I wouldn't be able to help myself.

And I'd not forgive myself for that.

Tipping off the police was brave.

Brave or stupid.

Brave.

There's no way they could know

it was me who called, right?

Crimestoppers is anonymous.

Yeah.

Even so, you worry, don't you?

Because if the police knew it was me

I could be charged, too, couldn't I?

It's not going to happen, I promise.

Listen, while we're talking

about the big stuff,

I just want to say that...

what happened with Carla

should never...

Look, I know we...

Please, let me finish.

It should never have happened.

I'm never gonna forgive myself

for hurting you.

I've made some mistakes

in my life, but...

Well, we can't go back in time.

We can just... carry on, yeah?

Yeah. I'd best be making tracks.

The police are coming

to see me in a bit.

When I was a kid and I fell over,

he was the one that picked me up.

He always looked after me.

He always made me feel safe.

I remember once, when I was little,

when I was really little,

he carried me the whole length

of the golden mile on his shoulders,

through all the illuminations.

And he bought me this,

I dunno what it was...

a plastic walking stick,

full of sweets.

I sat on his shoulders,

scoffing the lot of them,

looking up at the lights

thinking I was on top of the world.

And I was.

And that's what he did,

he always made me feel

like I was on top of the world.

He was my hero.

A lifetime of good memories.

Nah...

All bad ones now, aren't they?

Everything he's done and said...

No point remembering the good ones.

But despite all the bad things...

..we both loved him.

I'm stuffed. I was thinking

we could get some dessert?

Have you got hollow legs,

you, or what?

I'm a growing lad.

Is that right?

What about you two?

Seen anything you fancy?

Dessert-wise?

No, I'm all right, ta.

Yeah, me, too.

Come on, have a coffee with us

or something.

You were telling me

about the helpline.

Was I?

How long have you been there, now?

Two... No, three years. Wow.

Time ticks on, doesn't it?

Plus feeling like you're there 24/7.

At least you've got people around

you who are equally committed.

It's the same in your business,

isn't it?

Dealing with the struggles

and hardships that people face.

Well, it's... You've got to learn

to switch off, haven't you?

It's not easy,

but you can't take it home with you.

That's our golden rule,

don't get involved.

Asleep?

Finally.

Oh, and we can safely say

that Wonderwall

is his favourite song of all time.

Yeah, I heard you.

No!

It was, er...

Look, I need to speak to you.

What, about my singing?

Mason's social worker called.

His mum's had the op now and

she's ready for him to come home.

That's good.

Yeah.

Yeah, so they'd like to come

and collect him.

Today.

Today?

Well, they can't.

I mean, yeah, I get that

it's a short-term placement,

but I just hoped

we'd have a few more days with him.

Look, we knew it could be like this.

We don't get to decide

when a child moves on.

No, I know.

Well, that's great for Mason, then.

Really great.

Hey. Oh, you're blanking me now?

You should be grateful

I'm not smacking you one.

Is that right, big man?

Yeah.

I wish you'd never

come out of hospital!

Simon? D'you know what?

You're a liar and you're a cheat.

Ah, that's exactly

what you spray-painted

across the front of my office?

Yeah. Too right!

D'you know what?

If it wasn't for you two,

my dad wouldn't be drinking

and he wouldn't have left!

OK, enough.

Peter's gone?

Come on. You can do one an' all.

Now!

Pathetic little man.

Mr Barlow?

Yeah.

I'm Dr Chen,

apologies for keeping you waiting.

No problem.

I've had a look through your notes

and noticed you have a history

of varices? Yeah.

Varices?

Blood vessels in the oesophagus.

It's all down to my drinking.

That's right, isn't it?

Varices are caused

by the scarring of the liver.

Not uniquely, but, yes,

more often than not by alcohol.

Given the way you presented at A&E,

I strongly suspect that the varices

may have ruptured.

Well, can you fix them?

I'll do my best.

I've booked you in

for an immediate gastroscopy.

We'll put a small camera

down your throat

and have a look at what's going on

and if it is, as I suspect, varices,

then we'll deal with the bleeding

there and then.

Then I'm free to go?

We'll probably want to keep you in

for a day or two.

OK, thanks.

Sorry, Doctor, if you do manage

to stop the bleeding,

is there a chance

that it could happen again?

If he drinks again,

yes, undoubtedly.

So, last orders have been and gone.

Over the next few months

we'll be monitoring your liver,

assessing it's functionality.

Sorry, functionality?

Are you saying my liver's

on it's way out?

I'm afraid that liver failure

is a distinct possibility, yes.

So, Banksy...

..you do know you can't go round

vandalising public property,

don't you, right?

It's nice of you

to look out for Adam. No, I'm not.

I'm looking out for you, actually.

Si, I mean it.

You know my dad's gone

because of you and him.

I know. And don't even try

blaming him for what you did.

I'm not. There's no excuse

for me hurting your dad.

It's completely your fault.

It is, yes, you're right.

And look, you know,

I know you hate me,

but I'll tell you this,

you don't hate me

as much as I hate myself right now.

Si, honestly,

and I'm not just saying this

to get into your good books,

I'm saying it because

I really want to help.

I want to help you, OK?

And if you need me at any point,

or you need to talk

about this or your dad...

I bet you're gonna miss him?

I know I will.

I feel like this is all my fault.

Chasing you and blaming you

for attacking Adam.

I didn't attack Adam.

I believe you.

It's just, well,

with you trying to run away.

Well, I'll explain to everyone.

And I'll explain about this.

No, no. No, Daniel, I don't want

anybody knowing about this, OK?

That's one of the reasons

I was leaving, because I was ill.

Scared...

Well, only family.

No, no-one.

But, Dad, Simon...

Daniel, please, no-one.

They'd never forgive me.

I'll never forgive you if you do.

I don't want them

seeing me like this, OK?

You need your family

around you right now.

Really? Is that right?

Yeah, when Sinead died

you wouldn't let me be by myself,

this is no different... No, it is.

It's completely different.

I've done this to myself.

Are you being a martyr?

No.

I'm not being a martyr.

Dad and Simon would want to...

Yeah, I know, I know.

OK, look...

Fine, OK...

Just give me a few days

to think about it. Please.

You'd better not be fobbing me off.

I'm not fobbing you off.

Now, you go home, all right?

And in the meantime,

Daniel, please, you tell no-one. OK?

Now go. Go.

Are you sure I can't get you one?

No, I'm fine.

Gran?

Oh, are you all right?

I'm fine.

Well, I called and text,

but you didn't pick up.

Sorry, I had my phone on silent.

OK, when you both didn't turn up

to the funeral, well...

We've been right here.

Sally not with you?

She's next door, she's with Ryan.

I'm sorry I didn't make it

to the funeral.

Gran, you don't need to apologise.

Did it all go to plan?

Yeah, he got the send off

he deserved.

Did they play Hi-Ho Silver Lining?

Yes.

That was his favourite song.

Do you have an Order Of Service?

Erm, yeah, I did...

Oh, I must have left it in the car,

or dropped it getting out.

I've got one, I'll get if for you.

No, it doesn't matter.

Tim and I have been saying goodbye

to Geoff in our own way.

Our first placement

and our first goodbye. Yeah.

Job well done.

Yeah.

We should... Erm...

What?

It's good he's back

with his mum again.

Yeah.

I'm glad we got a photo.

Yeah.

We'll have to get an album, you

know, like they said at training.

Be nice to have a record, won't it?

Something to look back on.

I think I'll go out.

Oh? Yeah, I just fancy a walk,

you know, clear my head.

OK, do you want me to go with you?

No, no. Erm, no.

Honestly, you stay here, I'm fine.

DOOR CLOSES

Hiya.

What are you doing here?

I just, erm...

I thought I'd walk you home.

We only live round the corner.

I'm hardly gonna get lost, am I?

Yeah, well, I was just being nice.

Aw.

I had nowt else to do.

All right, fair enough.

I'm joking. Oh, forget it.

You all right, Roy?

You all right?

Yeah, all fine. Thank you.

Yeah, apart from me

nearly smacking a customer

for moaning about his egg.

Apart from that.

Honestly, "I'd like a fried egg,

not poached."

And he reckons

the customer's always right!

Honestly, I said to him,

"Listen, pal,

"there are people starving

all over this world, all right,

"so get a grip, it's just an egg."

And then I said to him,

"And by looking at you,

"I bet your heart's happy

you're not having a fried egg."

Anyway he gave me a really good tip

because he respected my bluntness.

Look, don't feel obliged

to finish cleaning the tables.

I can do that.

Great, nice one, Roy. Thanks.

So, what are we saying, then,

same time tomorrow?

Er, well, the rota's

a little full tomorrow.

Oh, right. OK, I see.

But why don't we view this week

as a short holiday

before you start work in earnest

next week?

Yeah? Really? Oh, great. Thanks.

Thanks, Roy.

Sorry.

I didn't realise it'd gone dark.

The police will be here soon.

Right.

Well, I've just come back

to get Bertie's hat.

I'm picking him up from a play date

and it's got really,

really cold outside.

Have you decided what

you're going to say to the police?

I don't know.

You don't know what you're gonna say

or you don't know who attacked you?

I don't know what I'm gonna say.

Please don't tell them

that it was Peter.

Even though I think he did it?

But you don't know that.

Innocent until proven guilty?

He didn't do it, I'm sure of it.

You know I am sick of people

trying to tell me

who did or didn't try and kill me.

Why, who else

has been speaking to you?

HE SIGHS

Nobody.

I'm sorry, OK?

But you didn't see who did it,

so you can't just say

that it was Peter.

It had to be him.

Don't tell the police that, please.

Give me one good reason

why I shouldn't.

DOORBELL RINGS

That'll be them.

He's ill!

He's ill?

He's in hospital.

He's got internal bleeding

because of his drinking.

They think he might

have liver failure.

He made me promise

not to tell anyone,

but if you're gonna go and tell them

that you think it was him, well,

that'll push him to drink and...

And he could die.

I mean he would die.

DOORBELL RINGS

So, what if he's guilty?

He just gets away with it?

Yeah, you're right, Adam.

If he's guilty,

he should go to prison

where he can die alone in a cell.

You do that Adam, you do that.

Hey, how are you doing?

Good, yeah.

Have you been crying?

No.

Oh, I got a little bit upset

and then got angry with myself

for being upset.

I mean, what our Lee

had to go through losing Oliver.

This is nothing. Nothing.

Do you wanna... I don't know,

do you wanna do something?

Like what?

I dunno, we can grab some food, we

can watch a film, whatever you want.

Thanks, though. What are you up to?

Oh, this... Work, more work.

Good, yeah, well,

you get back to that

and I'll tidy these things away.

No, we should do that together.

No, no, honestly, I'm fine,

you crack on.

What do you fancy for tea?

Chicken nuggets.

I was thinking of making

something a bit special?

Chicken nuggets are special.

Hm, I suppose.

With chips and peas.

Your wish is my command.

Thank you for helping me.

You're my wife.

We're, like, properly married now,

aren't we?

Yeah. Properly married.

You know, maybe we should

have a honeymoon or something?

Er, yeah.

We could do it this week,

while we're both off work?

Er, we might need

a little bit longer to plan it.

Not if we don't go too far.

You know,

we could book into a posh hotel.

Yeah.

You do know

what I'm getting at, don't you?

City centre?

Sex.

Oh, erm...

I mean, you know,

we could do it now?

They're not all won't be back

from Audrey's till later.

Sorry, am I being

inappropriate again?

No. No, no. Erm, you're, erm...

You're being

very appropriate, actually.

All right then. Come on.

I'm pleased to see you out of

hospital and on the mend, Mr Barlow.

Do you think you're able

to talk about your attack?

Yeah.

OK, so, in your own time,

just talk me through

the events of that night

and, specifically,

the last thing you can remember.

Let's just cut to the chase,

shall we?

And talk about who tried to kill me.

You think you know who attacked you?

Yeah.

I think it was, erm...

..Gary Windass.
