'Scuse me, have you seen Jamie Tate?

Tall lad, fan of stripy jumpers, bit of an Oedipus thing going on?

You tell me. It's good to see you, Rob.

I think you mean Greg.

Oh, you're going all method on me?

If it's good enough for Pacino... Right, so you remember the plan?

Course you do.

I still can't believe you agreed to meet here.

Wouldn't take no for an answer,

said I needed to see what this place had to offer.

How d'you wanna play it?

Treat 'em mean? I dunno.

He's going through a bit of a messy divorce,

and don't even get me started on his mother.

He's out to prove himself,

so he won't just hand over that stuff willingly.

Sounds to me like the poor lad could use a friend or two.

Right, you're up.

Greg?

Thanks for coming on such short notice.

There's two things I've never slept on - a good deal and a good woman.

LAUGHS

YAWNS

Oh, sorry.

I've had the ex harping on at me all night. I could do with a coffee.

Are you married? Not for much longer, no.

I thought I recognised the dead-eyed stare

of a man waiting for the sweet relief of divorce.

Or death. Don't matter whose, right?

OK? Coffee!

Yeah.

All right?

Look, I can't right now, I've got a meeting with Jai's contact.

Your mum won't be happy if she finds out you've gone behind her back.

D'you want me to hang around and see if she turns up? Seriously?

Yeah, cheers, Mack. No problem.

What are mates for?

AL: I'm not asking for a handout, it's an investment in me.

And you know that guarantees a, you know, a great return.

Look, I wouldn't be asking if I didn't need it.

No, OK, it's-it's fine.

Thanks, anyway.

Your order won't be two ticks.

Surprised you can even afford to eat out, with your money problems.

Don't start.

Can you, though? Cos, er, once it's been touched, I can't resell it.

It's a sandwich, Nicola. And I've already paid for it.

Oh, yeah, I forgot. Sorry.

What, forgot why you're here, or are you just playing dumb again?

I guess all that time letting you play me like a fool has paid off.

Just ignore him.

Al was just leaving anyway, weren't you?

Al.

Not worth my time. Any one of you.

Don't let Kim see you splashing that cash about, eh?

I don't need you fighting my battles for me, thank you.

Well, it was less fighting and more ringside heckling.

Oh, come on, I was just trying to help.

Well, I don't need your help.

I thought you might wanna say thank you, anyway,

for getting Moira to speak to Sarah.

Oh, you mean that thing that I didn't ask you to do?

The only reason that you did that

is because you messed up in the first place.

OK, fine, I suppose you're right.

How is Sarah, anyway? Is she OK?

Yep. Listen, I know I don't always do the right thing,

but I've always got their best interests at heart.

Yes, OK, thank you.

I'm sorry, what?

Thank you... for being there for Sarah.

Whatever goes on between us,

I am grateful that you're always there for them.

Well, you're welcome. And I'm not gonna stop.

I'm gonna put this right between us. Oh, don't push it, Mum.

JAMIE: So, er, how long have you known Jai?

Huh, too long, depending on who you ask.

Well, I'm sure he's told you about how much of a success

this place is, then. TEXT ALERT

Sorry, ex-wife.

Do you know, she's only trying to take half my partner's money, too!

JAMIE CLEARS HIS THROAT

Erm, so about this in... investment...

What are you doing here?

Would you believe me if I said I was enjoying the coffee?

If you're here to beg me not to phone the police,

I don't wanna hear it.

Does that mean you've changed your mind? As if I'd tell you.

Half the fun is watching you squirm like the little maggot you are.

Oh, I think Jamie said his name was Greg.

Wait, you don't think that's Jai's guy,

do you? Did you know that they were...

You know I didn't, or you wouldn't be here stirring.

Caught red-handed.

Let me guess, you want me to walk over there and tear him down.

So what? You turn Jamie against me?

Now, does that sound like something I would do?

Besides, you're doing a good enough job of pushing him away, anyway,

you don't need my help.

All he's trying to do is prove himself.

To whom? To you, to himself. I don't know.

All I know is your kid is trying to do you a favour.

And what's the worst that could happen?

That guy could say no,

at which point you're in exactly the same spot that you're in right now,

only Jamie might have an ounce of self respect.

Finish your coffee, then get out.

What did she want?

She thinks you're gonna screw it up with Greg. What, she said that?

Well, prove her wrong.

I will. I'm on it.

What, is it not going to plan? It's fine, it's just...

not what I was expecting.

He spent most of the time talking about his ex-wife.

And what were you expecting?

Well, I dunno, just more business talk.

I mean, I've got a whole presentation,

we haven't even touched on it. Well, look, in my experience,

most stuff in life boils down to one question -

"Do I want to get into bed with this person?"

Well, I'm not really in a position to be picky, am I?

But he is. And it's his money.

So listen to him, bond.

You think so?

Trust me, give him a little bit of what he wants,

so you can get what you need.

320, 340, 360.

It's all there. Course it is.

Why would you even say that? Dunno... summat to say.

Well, maybe it's a sign.

If you've got nowt to say, keep it shut.

There is one thing I wanna say.

Oh, if you're gonna tell me one more time you've changed,

I might just tear you apart like that Fiesta. Not a Fiesta.

And that's the part of the sentence you're worried about?

Look, our Vinny wants us to, er, go to t'Woolpack for lunch.

Yeah? Brilliant, can be my treat.

That gesture doesn't work when you're already in a hole.

Still, thought that counts.

We'll go, grin and bear it, but that is all. You understand?

I will do whatever you say. It's not about me, it's about Vinny.

He's had to deal with enough of your problems to last him a lifetime.

It weren't even my fault, not really.

There's only so many doors a person can slam shut on you

before you start looking for a window.

And what a cracking window she was.

LAUGHS

I'm going on a bit, aren't I?

Divorces are tough. Oh, you paint a vivid picture.

Sorry, erm...

I just think I've handled mine by throwing myself into work.

And securing my investment would be a win for you?

Honestly? Er, yeah. In that case, show me what you got.

Right, well, you can see from the projections that, erm,

even with the initial setbacks of, er, of this year,

we've still hit all our initial targets.

That's not what I'm seeing. You've been haemorrhaging money.

See? Here you are, thousands of pounds just vanish.

Three times that happens. Er, yeah, that was out of our control.

This have anything to do with that fella Priya was meant to marry?

Jai told you about that?

Erm, yeah, we trusted someone and, er, they took advantage.

It won't happen again.

Right. What?

Well, I'd just feel more comfortable if Jai were here.

Well, look, anything you can say to Jai, you can say to me.

OK, you have a lot of cash coming in, and I like businesses like that.

It makes it a lot easier to do what this fella here was doing.

Only less obvious. What, steal?

No, course not!

Just fudge the numbers a little.

What the ex-wife and taxman don't know doesn't hurt 'em.

Yeah, look, I-I'm really...

It's not stealing when the government are only gonna spend it

on their own second homes.

It's all moats and dove houses to that lot.

Ha, I shouldn't have said anything.

Maybe a bank'd be a better fit.

But honestly, after what this fella's done to your accounts,

I don't think they'd touch you.

Well, thanks for letting me rant.

I really hope you get what you need.

Wait, wait. Sorry?

Look, me and my mum, we are used to massaging the figures, too.

We just don't get caught doing it, is all.

I'm gonna need to see some proof, I can't just take your word.

I wanna see your accounts, the real ones.

You're asking for a lot of money.

OK, well, that won't be a problem.

I've been across the accounts for months now.

I know what goes in and where it all goes, even if the taxman doesn't.

So, what d'you fancy doing for your birthday?

Er, film? Takeaway? Just like every other night, then?

Yeah, but we'll have cake. And pointy hats?

Oh, no pointy hats.

How can I make it special without hats?

You wanna make it special?

Mum and Dad'll be here in a minute, I'll, er, I'll get 'em some chairs.

You all right?

Yeah, no, I'm fine, it's just, erm, it's just my back.

Think I need to start planning YOUR birthday.

50th, innit, big one?

I blame you for making me sleep on that flamin' sofa.

No, I don't, I don't blame you, actually, I-I love that sofa.

It's-It's one of t'comfiest sofas I've ever slept-slept on.

Oh, thank God.

What's all this about a sofa?

Aaron not living up to his end of t'deal as a landlord?

No, forget it, I were... I were being ungrateful.

It's not Aaron, it's me he wants something from.

No, I wasn't saying that, I... A new sofa.

I'm the landlord, remember?

Oh, right, yeah. You-You own that flat?

Er, yeah, me and Aaron. Er, we own both of 'em.

It's no big deal. Course it is! Must've cost a fortune.

How'd you manage that?

Erm, we used the inheritance money, er, from when Dad...

Are you gonna ask her for some bank statements next? Mandy!

Just never knew, that's all, kid her age owning property.

What? Are you surprised that someone could actually

invest their money, as opposed to through it all away, hm?

Drinks, yeah? My treat.

Ah, look, pretend you haven't seen me.

Er, oh, for boxes. I'm, er, I'm moving in to Laurel's.

Er, don't tell your mum, I'm sure she'd love to hear

her business partner's stealing from work, too.

By the way, you don't need to worry about the Al situation any more.

I've sorted it. How'd you manage that?

Well, Greg's gonna invest.

You spoke to him? Met with him this morning.

I-I don't understand, cos... Well, Greg's in France.

What?

Yeah. He posted these this morning.

That's not Greg. You do remember that he is MY contact?

So who did you meet with?

Well, I thought it was him, I thought it was Greg.

What did he want? What did you tell him? Nothing! Nothing, obviously.

I wouldn't be that stupid, would I? I've gotta go.

DOOR OPENS

What are you doing here?

Oh, don't worry about him. He's only here to prove a point.

And what point is that?

That I'm not someone to be messed with.

See what you did? You made it awkward.

I made it awkward? It's not awkward.

No-one likes a liar, sweetheart. No-one.

You know, I'm so glad I said to come for a drink...

I know what we can do.

Chas won't mind me having these.

Erm, you ever play that game

where you write summat down on a sticky note

and you have to guess what you are? Yeah.

Perfect.

I think someone else is meant to do t'writing. Don't be daft.

So... what am I? Accurate.

Oh, yeah, er, I have to give you a first clue.

Erm, am I a massive idiot?

What are you doing? Got it first time, didn't I? Yeah, huh, no.

OK, here we go...

What, you really think this is gonna work?

This is not your round. Liv?

You're sorry.

I don't think you understand this game. It's me who's meant to guess.

I am sorry, though.

I shouldn't be sticking my nose into stuff that's none of my business.

I didn't know cos I don't need to know, do I?

But I couldn't write all that on here, so...

Don't worry. Just forget about it.

Yeah. How about I get another round in when Chas comes back, eh?

I promise not to ruin this one.

No, I don't think so. Every penny counts. Come on.

Or we could go for a walk? That doesn't cost a thing.

Mum?

Oh, I dunno, I... It'll be good for the lad's back.

Cos this is not about us, is it?

Yeah, that's, er, a great idea.

SHE MOUTHS

If this is some kind of intimidation tactic for money, it won't work.

We've been here before. Oh, this is about way more than money.

Jamie and your man here have just had a lovely meeting,

sorted a lot of things out.

I take it this isn't Greg?

You're fast, Kim. Faster than your son, anyway.

Whatever Jamie agreed, he doesn't have the authority.

Everything related to the company has to be authorised by me.

Everything.

This is... this is perfect...

Er, this is, this is a-a friend of mine,

er, I'm gonna keep his name to myself.

Think of it as witness protection. But your son has just given him

a very detailed run-through of your accounts.

Your real accounts. You're lying.

Every penny, every pound, every offshore account.

Yeah, he's got himself one of those, erm, photographic memories.

Used to come in, er, very useful

when we were remembering alarm codes,

but it works just as well with facts and figures.

Everything your boy showed him is stored right up there.

Just waiting to be poured out,

should someone ask the right pointed questions.

So, for example, if someone was to say, oh, I don't know,

four-zero-five, he would then say...

That'd be one of the offshore accounts,

holding a total of £63,000.84.

Ha, ha, ha, ha! Do you wanna check that?

Or do we just skip to the part where you give me what I want?

Knock-knock? Oh, hi, Nic, I was gonna come and see you.

Yeah, me too. This week's been a bit crazy.

Yeah. What's all this?

Well, er, Jai's moving in.

After the other day,

I didn't know what to expect, but it certainly wasn't that.

Yeah, no, sorry, I've-I've been trying to get myself together.

I should have told you, sorry.

No, you don't have to apologise. No, come on.

I wouldn't have been able to do any of this without you.

And, erm...

how are you now?

Well, erm, it's a long road, but, erm, I think I'm on the right path.

I do have one question. I think you've earned it.

Jai? THEY LAUGH

Ooh, I'll tell you what,

we've come very far from the factory floor.

THEY LAUGH I'm back. Oh, hi.

Where have you been?

Oh, Jamie got himself involved with someone

pretending to be a contact of mine.

Don't ask. I think it's all sorted now, anyway.

I should get back. Er, I'll put these in here.

Er, Nic, erm, I was gonna ask you, is-is everything all right?

Course. Why wouldn't it be?

It's just the other day, I-I can't remember much,

but I just feel there was something you wanted to talk to me about?

Oh, that?

Yeah, erm, er, just something to do with Juliette.

What, Carl's mum? Has she been in touch?

Forget it. It's all sorted now.

I was making something out of nothing.

Hey, I'm really happy for you both.

See you, Jai. Bye!

You know, when I said I'd move in, I didn't realise

I was agreeing to Nicola popping round whenever she felt like it.

Hey, she's my best friend. Still Nicola, though.

Oh. Having regrets? Huh, no, I'm only joking.

Well, you're hardly moving in under the best circumstances.

No, I know it's tough now, but it'll be worth it

for the lifetime of happiness on the other side.

Right, let's argue about wardrobe space.

Ha-ha, you must be joking!

Oh!

I got your message, what's the emergency?

What you having? I'm buying.

Oi, you, I should be mad, I was working!

Although I don't think you've ever bought me a drink before.

So, what're we celebrating?

Freedom.

Kim won't be bothering me any more.

Did you manage to get hold of the CCTV?

I thought I told you to be careful around Kim.

Since when have I ever listened to you? True.

Come on, we can talk about the juicy details over a pint.

Oh, Jamie, you're not wearing a mask.

Be careful, or you'll get in trouble with the police.

Is that meant to be funny? Funny? No.

Witty? Maybe. Let's just go.

No, no, you're not going anywhere. Are you sure you wanna do this?

You've made me look like an idiot! Did I?

I really don't have time to sit around stating the obvious with you.

I'm not your mate. I-I trusted you! Right, come on, leave it.

Yeah, we'll get a drink back at yours.

No, this isn't over. I think you're missing the point.

It is.

Come on, last game, right? I've got a client booked in.

Owns a B&B.

Ooh, er, grumpy, er, tight with money. Oh, er, Pollard!

Oh...

Yeah, your answer was better, though.

I guess I accidentally stole these.

Well, we can keep hold of 'em till next time?

Oh. There'll be a next time, then? What do you say, Paul, huh?

You all right, Dad? Eh?

Yeah, course, course. You know what?

I-I-I should really get these back to Chas.

Well, I'm sure she won't mind.

I can hardly say I'm turning over a new leaf, can I,

if I'm stealing off of folk?

No, you get inside, stick t'kettle on, there's time for a quick one.

Fine. You come straight back, yeah?

What do you want?

Ha. I'll give you three guesses.

I can barely work after what you did to me.

I haven't got your money.

Yeah, but your missus does. I saw her.

What, you've been watching us? And she's not my missus.

She's holding the purse strings.

Maybe I should go introduce myself? Hey, you leave her out of this.

Well, that decision's up to you.

I reckon we're up to four grand, counting interest. Oh!

You get me my money, she doesn't need to know a thing,

but if you don't, if you keep messing me around,

I'm gonna get my money's worth, one way or another.

DOOR OPENS

CLEARS HIS THROAT I've been looking for you.

What did you do?

I made a mistake, Mum.

No, I made a mistake, the minute I let you get involved in my affairs.

Let me? You-You left!

I stepped in because you weren't here.

And whose fault is that?

For months now, all I've done is

throw money at problem after problem you have caused.

You are the one that trusted Al. I've been trying to fix it.

By giving Mackenzie enough evidence to send us both to prison?!

Yeah, well, he's not gonna do that, is he?

Because you've got the CCTV footage of him robbing Home Farm.

But I don't have it, do I?

I had to hand it over,

with enough money to buy his and his friend's silence.

I had no idea that wasn't Greg, OK? I'm sorry.

You're not six years old any more.

That word doesn't carry the weight you think it does.

OK, well, I'm not talking about this.

You don't ruin my life and then think you can call the shots.

You know the worst part of this?

When he told me what you'd done, what a fool you'd been,

I wasn't even surprised.

Because you have never been anything but a disappointment.

Jamie?

What do you want?

Well, I heard shouting. I wanted to check you were OK?

How much did you hear?

Look, I'm not gonna say anything, OK? I promise.

I don't know why Mack would do that, but don't listen to your mum, OK?

You're the only one doing anything to get the HOP out of trouble.

Just leave me alone, Gabby.

Jamie, what are you gonna do?

The only thing I can do.

Make Mackenzie pay.
