The following programme contains flashing images.

Pauline was telling me that you did all the decorating at Lisa's new offices.

And you can start tomorrow, finish Sunday. Yeah, yeah, sure.

Put the last two pieces in place.

Do you want to offer you a job?

Roger!

Two -day luxury spa break.

Double room.

No, no, it's just for you.

Spend the weekend with me and we'll vanish for a couple of days.

Vanish where, Finn?

How about someplace we already know?

When are you just going to admit that we need help?

I'll call someone tomorrow.

That'll be Greg.

Assuming my mum keeps out of the way, I reckon we should be back by five.

What do you think about this one?

Oh, Dad knows what we're doing, Dan.

There's nothing to be ashamed of, that's what I keep telling you.

See, it says so here in blue.

I mean, just reading these testimonials... It's not trip advice and

booking a cruise.

You don't have to sound so excited about it.

Sorry.

This is all still a bit, um... Whichever one you want, Lisa, okay?

What? What?

What am I doing here?

What are you doing here?

I came to get this off.

Yeah, and then she spotted me and just wandered in to see what was going on.

You've had a massive myocardial infarction.

What?

It's delirious. That can happen.

So, how much do you remember?

Everything.

I remember everything.

Hello?

Mum!

What time?

Yeah, I'll tell him.

I know, Mum, and I'm so sorry, but I don't think I'll actually be here when

arrive.

I've kind of already promised that... Actually, yeah, it is a boy.

Very.

No, you'll like him. I know you will.

You too, Mum.

She's flying into Heathrow and then Manchester.

She wants you to pick her up.

What do you mean you won't be there?

Eight o 'clock.

You know, you really don't have to sit here and wait with me.

Yes, I do.

We're gym buddies. We're training partners.

I'm not sure I was a very good training partner either.

Nor a very good friend.

Were you on about? Of course you were.

Had a second there, anyway.

I need to change a lot of things in my life.

Well, you're not the only one.

Look,

Roger, I haven't actually told anyone else this, but... Well, I guess we've

to start with someone.

I'm thinking of leaving.

Mount Pleasant, I mean.

What? I've been offered a job down south.

It's a good job. Actually, it's a really good job. It's a huge increase in pay.

And before you ask, it's Monday to Friday, so I'll be back at weekends.

still see Josh.

He's the reason I'm doing it, actually.

What about, um... What about a metre?

Oh, don't worry, I'm not giving up on the fitness.

No, I'll just get a trainer when I'm down. No, that's not what I meant.

You really don't have a clue, do you?

What are you talking about?

She is in love with you.

You bloody idiot.

Remember there?

No.

Oh,

sister's girl, I see.

Hey, Mr. Pitt.

Pauline, do you need a lift to the... I'm taking her.

Thanks. Dad?

What? I'm just saying.

OK, of course.

Careful, that's a heat gun. A what?

It's just dripping paint.

I'm assuming you want to keep your beard. I can see that I'm somewhat

the requirements here, so I shall look forward to seeing the results. And I

don't just mean you coming back Monday looking 20 years younger.

Right, see you then.

Well... What are you doing, you psycho? That stuff's toxic!

Brian. Fergus.

Sorry for calling you on a Saturday.

I'm not interrupted, am I?

Great. Listen, about the job offer.

I'm afraid it's a no.

Nine o 'clock?

Yeah, we'll be there.

Looking forward to it.

Yeah. We'll see you then.

Bye.

Look forward to it.

Dan's right.

I do sound like I'm booking a holiday.

I knew what you meant.

Dad, you do think I'm doing the right thing, don't you?

Only if you do.

I already know how much you and Dan love each other. That's not the point. No,

that is the point.

You need to remember it. Not say it, but to remember it.

Here and here.

See? You can get so used to loving someone that it becomes normal and

And we forget it's not normal and ordinary.

It's something much, much more than that.

And sometimes, when we do remember... Dad, don't, don't.

It's too late.

Dad, don't. That night in Spain, when I phoned her from the hospital to tell

you, she'd gone.

I went back to the apartment and I sat in our lounge.

And I stared at the door.

A door she'd walked through a hundred times.

And I knew she wasn't coming through that door again.

And that's when I remembered.

I remembered everything.

I remembered our life together, our first date, our first kiss, every smile,

every moment.

I remembered everything in the blink of an eye.

willing that door to open, willing her to walk back through it.

Maybe we do forget.

Now, me and Dan will be fine.

I promise you.

That's why we're doing this.

And as for you, she's not gone.

She's still here.

She's still waiting behind that door.

Give that to her, tell her to give me five minutes.

I can't go dressed like this.

Come here.

Hi, Elisa. I just... Have you been crying?

No, no, I've been laughing.

Well, I have been crying a bit, I suppose.

I think I've gone a bit mad.

Wait, is it Roger?

Roger's fine.

Oh.

Different. Well, fine.

Anyway, that's not why I'm here.

I wanted to talk to you about something.

What?

Denise.

Oh, don't mind it.

I'm being a red Indian today.

Come on in.

Who is Josh?

Oh, Sherry Figley. Well, he spent the morning rounding up cattle rustlers and

now he's sleeping it off in the saloon.

Well, that's my boy.

So, um, what's going on?

Let's sit down.

Oh!

Oh, that's his gun. I don't allow real toy guns in this house.

Well, Denise, Fergus came round to mine today with a proposal.

And after a bit of talk, I told him that I concurred. Now that we are firmly

established, we think it's time that Firther Recruitment started looking

the future.

To cast aside the shackles of time... Basically, we want to offer you a job.

Leave it.

You were asleep.

I was watching this.

Really? What's it about?

White people buying hoses.

Where do you think you're going?

Away. All weekend.

Staying with the mate.

No, you're not. We need to talk.

That's you told.

You better get out of my way, Dad. I swear to God.

Why don't you just go?

I can't.

Mum doesn't want you anymore.

It's over.

I'm not here for your mum.

You know she told me everything, don't you?

Everything you did, all of it.

You were a monster.

I was.

But you didn't see me like that.

I was the one you used to come to in the middle of the night when you'd had a

bad dream.

I was the one you chose to protect you from the month of.

And that's all I've ever tried to do.

I don't need protecting anymore.

Why can't you just leave us alone?

Why can't you just leave us?

This isn't because you don't think I can find anything else?

Absolutely not.

It was just... Everything you said yesterday, it really struck a chord.

Did it?

What did I say?

That a good recruitment firm should be about more than finding jobs for people

with certificates and diplomas. We can't just rely on people to come in and sign

up. We need to be out there, actively looking for them.

So you'd go to schools and open days and community centres, and you'd talk to

people, young people like Cassie.

And, well, you'd point them in our direction, give them an opportunity to

foot on the ladder.

You'd be like a saleswoman, but you'd be selling us.

Plus, you could always go back to your old agent, do a bit of modelling on the

side.

So, what do you say, Denise?

You won't regret this, Denise.

And with your wage, plus the modelling, plus what I'm making, just think how

much we can start setting aside for Johnny's future.

And no one else having to go our separate ways.

What are you on about?

What?

No, I just meant, you know, the three of us, the old gang back together again.

Reconnect.

Do you not think that...

What are you doing?

I'm daydreaming.

About what?

About our old place.

Did you miss it?

I'm not talking about the last one. I'm talking about the first one.

Our little flat.

Before your mum.

Before Talisa.

Finn was just a kid.

With the sink in the bedroom.

Yeah, that was a bit weird.

Funny, really.

Never even used to question it.

Things were very uncomplicated then.

How's about a return to those uncomplicated times you were talking

Tonight?

What do you mean?

I mean... I mean you.

Going back to old stomping ground.

The Ska Club.

See a band, do some dancing, maybe even park up behind that old bus stop for a

bit.

Is that still there?

The bus stop? In my head it is, with the big blue plaque above it.

The Ska Club, you idiot.

Oh, that's still going.

We busted it last week, as it happens.

All right.

Still a classy joint, then.

I'm serious, Jen.

I know you are.

Let's do it.

So you're picking her up at eight, then?

Yeah. I'm somewhere in the middle of that half -hour drive I'm going to have

delicately mention.

Oh, by the way, your ex -husband's at home. He wants to work.

Well, me and Lisa are going to see a couples counsellor on Monday.

Maybe you two should tag along with us? Oh, yeah, good idea.

Lisa would love that.

You, her, that woman you snogged that time.

Fuck's sake, Greg.

Well, it doesn't bother me. I wasn't with her then.

It bothers me.

But we don't talk about that.

Dan, you're going to couples therapy.

It's going to get brought up.

What?

Am I

disturbing playtime?

But you were a doctor.

Yeah, I get that a lot.

I think it's my confident demeanour.

He's supposed to be coming round to tell me when I can go home. But it's been

hours.

And if he doesn't hurry up, I've got a good mind just to discharge myself.

Oh, I'll do it under the sheets if you have to.

Roger. Please, just don't even start.

Yes, you gave me a bollocking.

Yes, you barred me from the pub. And yes, three hours later, I had a heart

attack. And no...

It was not your fault.

I don't know why everyone wants to keep taking credit for this.

Sorry.

Oh, and you can consider yourself unbarred now, by the way.

Although, I will be putting the kibosh on double scotches and fried breakfast

for a while.

Next best thing.

Oh, yes, thank you.

Fergus was here earlier.

I told him.

Told him what?

About Amita.

About her feelings for him.

You did the right thing, Roger.

Yes.

And in their joy shall I once more find myself alone.

You're not alone, Roger.

Not with all the friends you've got.

Plus, you're a reverend.

I mean, how can a reverend ever be alone?

Not when you've got your own personal hotline straight... What?

I remember everything.

What do you mean?

The numbness in my arm and the tightness in my chest.

Little pinpricks of light in front of my eyes.

I remember.

My heart stopping.

Do you know what I saw?

Just with those few moments.

Whilst I was lying there on the path.

No paths.

The world slipping away from me.

Whilst I was lying there dying.

Do you know what I saw?

Absolutely nothing.

Mum?

What's happened? He's not... Of course he's not dead, you pillock. He's fine.

Well, he's not fine.

But he's OK.

What have you done?

Slipped, didn't it?

Cut myself with the thing.

Don't show me. Don't show me.

Have you got any plasters, bandages?

Yeah, yeah, out the back. Come on.

And then I think we'd better call this a day, don't you?

What are we going to do tomorrow when Greg and Dan come back?

Nothing. Stay here. They're doing the barn, not the flat.

You might hear her.

Nah, no way. This thing's soundproof.

Remember the other night when we were up here? The pub was packed, music

playing, people talking.

We didn't hear a thing.

To be fair, Finn, we were kind of preoccupied.

Let's get preoccupied again, then.

Finn, that wasn't exactly...

Therapy pool, grooming lounge, crystal steam room.

I know, you said.

Have I got time to use the bathroom?

I'm sure you'll fit it in somewhere.

No, now you divvy, before we go to the station.

Oh, dear, yeah, knock yourself out.

All right, Dan.

I've just been looking through this counselling.

I wish I could go myself.

Can you give us a minute, please, Barry?

Like.

I'm sorry, Lisa.

We can't do this.

Hello, from sunny Heathrow. Do you know they won't let me outside for a

cigarette because I'm transferring? Bloody bastards.

Anyway, listen, the flight's on time, so I'll see you at eight. I can't wake.

Oh, that rhymed.

Bye.

Change of plan.

I'm leaving early.

I've started to realise that me being here is probably doing more harm than

good.

Ella talked to me today.

Properly.

I didn't like what she had to say, but she talked to me.

What have you done to your hand?

Nothing. It's a cut.

Are you planning on driving to the airport?

I'll be fine.

I'll drive you.

I don't think so.

Great. Let me.

I'll tell her that the house is yours.

I'll tell her that I'm letting Ella go before I push away any further and I'll

tell her I'm going to leave you alone.

Maybe I'll stay there, check out the cheap flights and maybe you and her can

drive back together.

And then maybe...

You can give her that ring you've been hiding.

On my daughter's life, Greg.

Game over.

What you promised is the only thing I've asked. The only thing!

This relationship has been through worse moments than this and we got past it.

These people, all they'll do is bring it all to the surface again. Every little

thing that...

Right. I tried to stop her.

You want counselling?

I'll give you counselling.

Do you love her?

I'll take that as a yes.

Do you love him?

I'll take that as a yes, too.

Congratulations, you're counselled.

Now go and pack your bags.

What? What are you talking about? Tell you what I'm talking about.

You're going away on a luxury Sunday weekend.

And you're going to sort this out.

Will you drive me home?

I don't think I dare not.

Right answer.

Did you see that petrol garage up the lip when we bought in?

How much do you think something like that makes?

I've been thinking of going legit, starting my own business.

I've got enough money stashed away.

Enough for... Well, something.

How long have you known?

I found the ring in your jacket pocket. I sat on it.

It's all right.

I checked it out. It's unharmed.

Not like you not to say something.

Well... To quote one of your lines, Greg, that's none of my business.

I told you I was here for Ella.

I thought it was my duty to stop her making the same mistakes her mum did.

But I've finally figured out I'm not really qualified for that job.

I think you'll be much better at it.

Bradley, I'm not her father.

I'll never be a father.

Tonya didn't see her father for 30 years.

You've changed that.

I'm hoping you'll do the same for me and Ella.

Try not to take so long this time, though.

Don't move!

And don't scream.

You've been found.

He's back.

Two nights?

Come here.

This is a good idea. This is what you need.

We know.

Richard,

remember. Here and here.

You weren't supposed to be here.

Obviously not.

I told you I have my fingers in a lot of pies.

What I have is a business model, a well -thought -out, successful business

model. Buy up a failing business, insure it for twice its valuation.

Not in my name, naturally.

Then destroy it, preferably in a way that seems plausible.

Say, by hiring a witless plumber and his moron builder mate to do an impromptu

makeover on the place. And eventually the insurance company pays out to you.

Whereupon, of course, you happily transfer it back to me.

And then what?

I usually move on to the next venture.

Although in this instance I had actually considered sticking up.

It wasn't all a lie, Paulie.

Not all of it.

Not this time.

Oh, it was real to me too, Trevor.

That whole night.

I was just scared, you know.

Scared of my own feelings.

I can help you.

On the next one.

And the one after that.

We could be a team.

Oh, come on.

We make a good team.

And then... Perhaps eventually... Trevor, she's lying.

I know.

Trevor!

I'm so sorry, Pauline.

I did therapy school.

Grooming lounge.

Crystal therapy room.

Yeah, I know. My mum gave me the pitch.

What exactly is a crystal therapy room?

Oh my God. Come on.

This is Foxy Mama.

Foxy Mama?

I'm en route to a happening party with a six foot two chuckle Adonis.

Over. You do realise that thing's on, don't you?

No, it's not.

It's OK, that.

I'll just turn it on anyway.

Did you just say dog and dance?

Come. Pauline!

Stop!

Stop!

Move! Cover it! Move! Go, go, go, go, go, go!

There's something behind the door!

Ben!

Stop!

Mum, I need you to move away. Listen to me. You need to move away from the

window. Okay?

Cover your mouth. Cover your mouth.

Move away. Move away from the window.

Oh, I missed you.

I missed you.

What is it? It was the last few weeks.

You won't even believe it.

Bradley? We've got to go now, to the hospital.

What are you talking about? What's going on?

Tell her.

Oh, you said you could go then? Yes, she said I was the finest physical specimen

he'd ever seen.

That doesn't sound like Dr Chowdhury.

Well, I'm paraphrasing. Is there anything I should find? No, no, you're

done. Right.

Thank you very much. Goodbye now.

Oh, wait.

Forgot your bag.

No.

No, that's not mine.

Fergus, have you... I saw him this morning. He's OK.

It was a mild heart attack. They're keeping him in for observation.

I never should have let this happen.

Well, it's not your fault.

He told me he hadn't kept up with his training. He told me he wasn't going to

run. And then when he turned up there, I was... Proud of him.

So, anyway, I believe that I mentioned something yesterday about a drink.

A celebrated drink, yeah, you did.

I'm not quite sure that's really appropriate now, do you?

No. No, no.

I suppose.

I didn't even finish the race, did I?

We could just call an ordinary drink instead.

Or maybe dinner.

Or anything you fancy doing.

Look, Fergus, I know you think you need to thank me, but... Just so we're clear.

Because apparently that's one thing that this... New me still isn't very good at

being.

I'm asking you out on a date.

Well, in that case, I'm free tomorrow night.

Good.

So am I.

Peter, I hope what you did, I... Ella, do you know whether...

Jesus, mate.

You can do it.

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Quick.

She's, uh, asked to see you.

still want to go to that spa, do you?

Not really.

You don't still want us to... No, Dan.

What I really want is a long, hot bath.

I think I want one of those too.

Thought you might.

We can take it back and stay.
