OK, boy, come here. What's happened to you, then, eh?

Let me have a look.

Nice and easy, lad. No sudden movements.

It's a wonderful thing, you know,

to live in a nation of animal lovers.

Now, you open up.

- No-one will get hurt. - OK.

OK.

Good boy.

Yeah, right. Got that. Thanks a lot.

Right, OK.

How many different types of decoration

can you put on a wedding cake?

Oh, I leave that to Mrs Ventress.

- Keys, Alf. - What's up?

The bank security van has been held up two miles outside town.

- Steve's on his way there now. - Get on to Division.

We've already done that, Sarge.

SONG: 'Getting Sentimental Over You'

Do you know, this must be the only car

that gets washed as often as its owner.

Yeah, well. I need summat to do.

I thought you liked working here, David.

All this.

Posh car to drive.

You do nothing but moan.

Yeah, well, you just do nothing.

I'm a gentleman of independent means, David.

It's what gentlemen do.

And it's not nothing. It's life as it should be lived.

Don't you get lonely, stuck here on your own?

Well, you're on your own.

No, I'm not.

I've got Alfred, haven't I? Haven't I, eh?

WOMAN: Well?

JENNY: Do you think it's too much?

I'd say it's absolutely perfect.

I'm not sure about all this, though.

Jenny, I know the bride's supposed to be nervous,

but you're becoming neurotic.

I still can't believe I'm doing this.

I think you've thought about it long enough.

I just never imagined that I'd marry someone like Dennis.

He's so grown up and serious.

If Dennis walked out the door

and you never, ever saw him again, how would you feel?

It would be awful.

I don't think I could bear it.

Well, then you're making the right decision.

Thank you.

None of the shopkeepers noticed anyone hanging about.

I doubt they would. This is all very professional.

The van had just collected thousands in used notes.

Well, that's quite a haul for one man and a dog.

Well, I think the dog was the real professional.

It was while I was in CID. It took us years to catch him.

He regularly used all sorts of animals as decoys.

I think he'd been in the circus as a boy.

He could train an animal to do anything. What was his name?

Tommy... Ronnie...

CID are in your office, Sarge.

They've come to take over the investigation.

Shiner.

That's all I need.

No, it's not Shiner. It's somebody else.

Ronnie The Dog Man. That was it. He went down about five years ago.

- See if you can track him down. - Sarge.

Morning.

Here he comes like a dose of Scotch mist.

Kenny!

Kenny Parker, I don't believe it.

What are you doing back around these parts?

I've come to make your life a misery, mate.

You could never do that. I'd rather have you than Shiner any day.

What happened to London, bright lights, all that?

Nah, not for me in the end. I'm a DS at Division now.

I'm about to take my Inspector's Exam,

so you'd better watch your step.

Well, it's great to see you anyway. KNOCK ON DOOR

Ronnie Brown, Sarge, aka Ronnie The Dog Man.

He's just finished a five-year stretch in Durham,

and they released him two weeks ago.

Well, that sounds like that might be our man.

You've got a suspect already?

I think I'll just put my feet up and leave it all to you.

Milk, two sugars, lad.

- Did you get it, then? - Yep.

- What's it like? - It's all right, I think.

It's fantastic.

You sure it doesn't make me look like a fairy on a Christmas tree?

It doesn't, OK? It's perfect.

Brides are supposed to be blooming.

I never imagined getting married can would be so nerve-wracking.

That reminds me. I forgot to phone the florist.

What about you? Have you told Phil yet?

Yeah, I've told him.

- And? - Oh, I don't know, Liz.

I can't get my head round it. I mean, having a baby.

- It's just so... - Wonderful.

It's frightening. And I've got all the food to do for the wedding.

I don't want to spoil things for Jenny.

You won't.

Anyway. I just want to concentrate on that for now.

I can't think about the rest.

I don't think I ever imagined you getting married.

A pretty girl came along, you used to run a mile.

I was never that bad.

You were always chasing two or three at a time.

No, that was them chasing me.

I'm a reformed character now.

Well, maybe we both are.

- She must be quite something. - She is.

- I can't wait for you to meet her. - Meet her?

I want an invite to this wedding.

Listen. Talking about the wedding...

my best man has just let us down. Would you do it?

I'd love to do it, mate, yeah.

But no dodgy stories. I don't want to frighten the new in-laws.

Not even when we arrested those strippers in Bridlington and you...?

- Definitely not that. - Your murky past is safe with me.

I've got Ronnie Brown's temporary address off the probation office.

Good. We'll Call for some armed back-up

and we'll pay him a visit now.

We'll have it sewn up by dinnertime.

Right, Sarge.

You've got these lads well trained.

I thought we'd put a nice big salmon in the middle.

Always makes a good centrepiece.

Well, if you want a good one, you'd best order it today.

I'll call the fishmonger.

If you want a good one, you've got to catch it yourself.

Oh, thanks, Vernon. That's very helpful.

Nothing compares with the taste of freshly caught wild salmon.

As any true gourmet will tell you.

And where are we going to get a wild salmon from?

The River Esk is full of it. You just fish it out.

I think Sir Henry Bing might have summat to say about that.

Sir Henry Bing has given me carte blanche to fish as and when I like.

Vernon's offered to catch you a nice wild salmon for the wedding buffet.

- No, I was saying that... - Vernon, that's really kind of you.

Just a small wedding present.

Hm.

I think I'll still call the fishmonger.

Right, two of you round the back.

It looks like he's given us the slip.

But not by much. I reckon he must have been tipped off.

We'd better set up some surveillance.

I wouldn't think he'd be daft enough to come back.

Hiya. Pint?

No, I think I'll have a scotch tonight.

- I just... - Are you...

This is daft, isn't it?

Yeah.

Are you busy, then?

Yeah.

I've got all the food to do for the wedding.

Vernon reckons he's going to catch a salmon.

Look, Gina, I was thinking that maybe we should, er...

have a proper chat about things.

Phil, I'm not expecting anything from you.

Yeah, but I want to -

I'm pretty good at taking care of myself. I've had to be.

Here they are.

Jenny Latimer.

- Kenny Parker. - Pleased to meet you, Jenny.

This is my fiancee Gloria.

I told you I was a reformed man.

I do love weddings. I always cry.

Well, I hope you're not going to cry at ours.

Ooh, fellas. What are they like, eh? I'll have a martini.

Don't forget the cherry.

Oh, I love your hair. I could never have mine that long.

I suffer with terrible split ends.

So, what are you going to do, then, on the big day? I'd put it all up.

I'm not actually sure.

We do a full bridal package at the salon where I work.

I'm the senior stylist. Really?

My Kenny's dead chuffed he's going to be your Denny's best man.

Mind you, at that reception, the air's going to be blue.

I hope not.

Oh, I'm only kidding, love. Who'd marry a copper, eh?

Dull as dish water, most of them.

Apart from my Kenny. He knows how to have a laugh.

Well, I'm sure your Denny does.

I've often wondered what an older fella'd be like.

Actually, most people call him Dennis.

He's always had a string of girlfriends, but we found him out.

He probably went in for a haircut.

She does unisex on Tuesdays and Fridays

in between touring as a mobile hairdresser.

She told me all about it in great detail.

I'm so sorry.

- Night, then. - I'll phone you tomorrow.

What do you want, Steve?

I want to be at my sister's wedding.

I... I wrote to Mum and Dad a couple of months back.

Dad told me.

I haven't touched dope since I was arrested, I swear to you, Jen.

These days I hardly even take a drink.

So, what have you been doing?

I've er... been to sea.

What?

I went down to the docks at Whitby

and I signed on as a deck hand on a trawler.

I can't imagine you doing something like that.

Go on, say it. Too much like hard work.

Well, yeah.

I must admit, it nearly k*lled me.

Dad was devastated when you got chucked out of university.

I know. I let him down. I let you all down.

Especially you.

I just want another chance to prove that I've learnt my lesson.

Why now? I've got a lot to do.

When we were children, we used to talk about you getting married.

Me driving you to the church...

in an open carriage with a white horse.

Do you remember? Steve, don't, please.

I just want to be there, Jen.

I'll make it all right with Dennis, I promise.

Just let me think about it.

OK?

Of course.

I found most of this stuff in the barn.

Do you know, David, this is what I've needed all along.

A gentlemanly pursuit.

I thought you were going fishing.

Not fishing. Angling.

Trawlers fish. Angling is a sport.

Yeah, well, we still get the rod and line

and bung it in the water, though, eh?

Basically, yes.

Anyway, we won't have far to go, though, will we?

Not that river.

You'll be lucky to get a jar of sticklebacks out of there.

Did you really find all this in the barn?

Do you know, it's like Aladdin's Cave in there.

Well...

why did you leave, then?

David, I can't live in a ramshackled old place like that.

Why not? Well, you always did before.

I mean, do you really prefer it here?

Course I do.

I mean, it's... It's....

Big.

And it's empty.

I don't understand why having money means

that you can't live where you want.

I haven't seen him for months. He just turned up last night.

Did he actually spend time in jail?

No. He was lucky.

First offence, previous good character.

He got a suspended sentence.

And he just went off.

I don't know what Dennis is going to say.

Well, do you think he's changed?

I don't know.

But then when he was stealing all this dope and selling it,

I never imagined for a minute

that he'd be capable of doing such a thing.

I realised then that we may have grown up together, but...

I didn't know him at all.

Can you give him another chance?

Of course.

Oh, Liz, I don't know.

Dennis will go mad. I'm almost scared to tell him.

- Kenny. - Oh, cheers.

Well, it looks like it's been a long night.

Any sign of him?

No. I think DS Parker's right. He's long gone.

I've been having a read of Ronnie Brown's file.

He was quite a villain in his day, but he'll be next birthday.

What was this, then? One last job to finance his pension?

That would be my guess.

We're never going to catch him. He's on the Costa by now.

You sound almost sorry for him.

Don't be daft.

When we searched the house, one of the lads found this.

- A left luggage locker. - Looks like it.

There was no money in the house. He could've stashed it somewhere.

He certainly left in a hurry.

All he'd have to do is pick up a bag.

Ventress, check this out with your man at the station.

Right, Sarge.

Jen?

Well, I had to see for myself. That looks like hard work.

Oh, well, you know. It's good for building the muscles.

Aren't you impressed?

There you go. That should sort you out.

The Art Of Fly-fishing.

Excellent, Bernard.

Why is it called fly-fishing?

Because, David, to catch Salmon, you need flies.

I know, I was pretty spoilt as a kid.

You were always the blue-eyed boy as far as Mum and Dad were concerned.

- Not so fair on you. - Dad's just a bit old-fashioned.

He expects less of me because I'm a girl.

In some ways, that's been easier.

Do they like Dennis?

I think so. They're a bit worried about the age gap.

I really do just want you to be happy.

What if I'd be happiest, if you just went away?

Then I'd go away. Sadly.

Steve, I want to make this all right too, honestly.

Oh, no.

What's all this? Caught you at it, have I, then?

- This is my brother Steve. - Here for the wedding?

I'm Gloria, Jenny's favourite hairdresser.

I'm glad I caught you. I want you to have a look at my style books.

- Really, I'm very... - It'll only take two ticks.

I said to Kenny, it's daft, her going anywhere else.

Kenny is going to be Dennis's best man.

I know you think I've got a big gob.

- Of course I don't. - Yeah, you do.

Just cos our blokes get on, no reason we should.

But I am a good hairdresser, if you could just take a little look.

I'll be back in a jiffy.

Mine's white with one sugar.

What on earth are you doing, David?

Well, I'm getting the flies.

To catch the salmon, like you said.

SEAGULLS SCREECH

What's up with you?

You've been as miserable as sin all day.

I'm a pretty useless individual, really, aren't I?

Only per cent of the time.

Oh, come on. I'm just kidding.

Yeah, well, I'm not.

Gina's...

Gina's having a baby.

Is she?

- What? With... - Yeah.

- Are you going to marry her? - She won't have me.

She reckons she's better off on her own.

She's probably right.

That's hard, mate. I'm sorry.

Did she really turn you down?

I've never been good enough for her, I know that.

I, er...

I always wanted a little kid of my own, though.

I love kids.

They're very new, these lockers. Very high security.

- But it is one of yours? - It looks like it.

Well, let's open it up and take a look.

I could come round the morning of the wedding

and do the whole thing in an hour and a half.

How much would it cost?

Accept it as a wedding present from me and Kenny.

That's very kind of you, Gloria.

I could do you as well. I'm completely unisex.

I'm not much of a one for haircuts.

Are you a hippy student, then?

No. I'm a humble trawler man.

- Oh. What? From the docks here? - Yeah.

He's thinking of going back to college. Aren't you, Steve?

If they'll have me. Believe in second chances, Gloria?

Are you a bad boy, then? Black sheep of the family?

You'll have to ask my sister that one.

What do you reckon?

Yeah, well, you've nearly got the hang of it.

'Ey.

- Is that who I think it is? - He's got some nerve,

coming back here.

Liz, I'd like you to meet my brother Steve Latimer. Dr Liz Merrick.

Pleased to meet you, Steve.

I'd like to offer my congratulations, Dennis.

Thank you.

Steve's got a job on a trawler.

Has he? Well, hard work never hurt anyone.

MAN: Gloria.

This is turning into a ruddy circus.

I've got coppers all over where I was staying.

One job, you said.

Then you'd be gone, you promised.

Now they've found the money. How can I go without the money?

- I'll give you money. - What? A couple of hundred quid?

I won't get far on that.

Well, you can't stay here.

You'll have to get me out.

You and that soppy boyfriend of yours.

No, Dad. We tipped you off once, but...

I'm not going back to jail, Gloria.

I can't do any more time.

You know what that prison doctor said.

Yeah. He said stay off the fags.

What else have I got in life, eh?

You're not going to let your old man die in jail, are you, babe?

All right, but just stay out of sight and...

out of trouble.

I really think he's changed.

DENNIS: Aye, he's full of charm.

- Then he always was. - Oh, Dennis.

Can't we just give him the benefit of the doubt?

I just don't want to see you get hurt again, that's all.

I wish you'd known him before.

There's far more good in him than bad, I know there is.

I don't want to argue with you, not about this.

Not about anything. I just want to get married to you.

And if you want your brother to be there...

that's fine by me.

Thank you.

Someone to see you, Sarge.

Thank you, Bellamy.

I got your summons.

It's not a summons.

I wanted to give you this, personally.

Invite to the wedding.

You didn't manage to talk her out of it?

I didn't really try.

I love your sister very much.

I don't want there to be any upsets or regrets on her wedding day.

That sounds a bit like a warning.

No.

But let's understand each other.

You dealt dr*gs, you deceived, you stole.

In particular, you hurt and deceived Jenny. Now, I'm not judging you.

That's all in the past. But I will be watching you.

Very carefully.

Once a villain, always a villain, eh? Is that your philosophy?

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, Steve.

Don't disappoint me. Or Jenny.

Hello.

Where's the safe?

It's on a time lock.

You've got one minute to open it.

Sound of a shotgun being fired at the Northern Provincial Bank, Sarge.

Call for armed back-up.

There's nowhere to go, Ronnie. Put the g*n down.

Get 'em away from here! Get 'em away!

I'll sh**t her!

RONNIE COUGHS

CONTINUES COUGHING

He needs to be in hospital.

I'd hazard a guess he has severe emphysema,

probably other complications too.

He needs bed rest and medication.

- Call an ambulance, Ventress. - Er... Sarge.

He must have been aware of the severity of his condition.

How could he have ever imagined he could rob a bank?

You read his file.

Wasn't there a note from Durham about his condition?

Probably. I must have missed it.

You'll have to excuse me. Can I use your office? I need to call my boss.

Yes, go on. Thank you, Doctor.

Yeah, I got your message. What's going on?

Hospital? Is he all right?

Calm down, Kenny.

Yeah. Well, I've got an idea.

You'll need to cast downstream.

- That'll never work. - What?

Downstream. That way.

Well, what difference will that make?

You'll see.

David?

The line's snagged on the rocks. Go and clear it, will you?

You're making it worse!

They come here to spawn!

You're putting them off.

Put them off? I should think every salmon in this river

is already heading back to the North Sea.

Well, that pretty much wraps things up here.

Aye.

Don't forget about tonight.

My stag night.

Oh, no, I'll be there. Don't you worry.

I've booked us in at the pub for the night too,

so there won't be far to fall to bed.

If you can fix me a deal with your skipper,

there'll be another hundred.

What makes you think I'd even consider doing this?

I need to get him out of the country.

- I don't know who else to ask. - What if I go to the police?

Would they really believe someone like you?

Look I've heard the story. I know all about you. You're a drug dealer.

- Was a drug dealer, not any more. - If you say so.

That's not what the police think.

- Yeah, well, they're wrong. - Yeah.

But come on, be realistic,

she's never going to forget what a bad boy you are.

I've heard the way they talk about you.

You think when she's married,

they're going to be inviting you for tea?

Well, he doesn't like me much. He's made that pretty clear.

When I were a kid at school,

it didn't matter how good I were, how hard I worked.

Anything bad happened, the teacher always pointed the finger at me.

Why? Because my dad were in the nick.

No-one's going to give you a second chance, least of all Dennis Merton.

They've invited me to the wedding.

Then what? Happy families?

Don't be naive.

They're all hypocrites.

I grew up on the wrong side of the law. I know respectable people.

Once they judge you, that's it.

Once a villain, always a villain. Coppers' law.

So... take the money.

Chin up.

I knew angling would be the sport for me.

This is the life, eh?

I've been thinking. I think you might be right.

Money shouldn't matter.

I should be able to live where I like.

I'm selling up.

Well, where are you going to live?

Back with you and Alfred.

BERNARD: Ay-ay. Eh! Eh, I think I've got one.

Reel it in, Bernard, reel it in.

Don't rush me!

- I think it's a big one. - Magic!

That looks fantastic.

You're very good at this.

You know when I get married, Auntie Jenny?

You can definitely do the flowers.

I'll do the flowers for all your weddings.

Right, then. I suppose I'd better go.

I've got masses of cooking to do.

- Do you want a hand? - Nope. It's all organised.

- I'll see you later. - Bye.

I'll collect the bouquets from the florist later.

Thanks for helping, Cathy.

Bye.

I just thought I'd drop by, see how you were doing.

What do you think?

It looks wonderful.

I drove to Mum and Dad's

and told them Steve was coming to the wedding.

Mum cried.

It will be wonderful, won't it?

If you're there, it'll be perfect for me.

Don't you get too drunk tonight. I'll be keeping my eye on you.

You worry about your lot, I'll worry about mine.

Would you look at that? Brilliant.

Oi! What do you think you're up to?

The fishing here is private.

I'm well aware of that, my good man.

I'm Vernon Scripps. This is my brother Bernard.

And we have a personal invitation from Sir Henry Bing

to fish here whenever we choose.

We'll see about that.

I should never have let you talk me into this.

Kenny, he's an old man, he's done enough time.

Lucky no-one else was hurt.

I found this trawler skipper. What?

Jenny's brother works for him.

You told Jenny's brother? Are you mad?

It were an emergency. I had to find a way to get Dad out.

If he talks to Dennis Merton, I'm finished.

He won't.

You said he's some scummy little drug dealer they're all ashamed of.

Who'd listen to him?

Oh...

You can handle it, sweetie.

I know you can. You're cleverer than Dennis Merton.

I wish I was.

Scripps, you say.

The fellow that runs the garage at Aidensfield.

No. That's my brother Bernard.

You must be the undertaker, then.

- No, no, that's also... - I said to the wife,

"Big bonfire in the garden."

No fuss. I can't abide poachers, Scripps.

We met, Sir Henry...

If it was down to me, I'd sh**t 'em.

But then there's the law.

Lord Ashfordley's...

Ah, yes. Knew his father.

Damned liar and cheat he was. I liked him, though.

Mr Scripps reckons you invited him to fish, Sir Henry.

I might have done. Damned doctor keeps feeding me pills,

but they don't make a damned bit of difference.

What's your name again?

Scripps. Vernon Scripps.

Oh, yes. The fellow that's got the garage in Aidensfield.

Right, lads, where were we? Same again, Oscar.

Hurry up. The object of this evening is that by the end of it,

- not a man should be left standing. - I'm going as fast as I can.

Steve! Glad you could make it.

Kenny? This is Kenny Parker, my very good friend and best man.

Steve is Jenny's brother.

I've heard about you. Not all good, I hope.

Sarge.

- You met Gloria? - Yeah.

You know, Steve, life can be complicated.

We all find ourselves in situations.

I realise that.

Dennis is an old-fashioned sort of copper.

Some things he wouldn't understand.

I just need to know I can trust you, mate.

To protect Dennis's innocence?

Yeah, that's quite a good way of looking at it.

Also, a lad in your position needs to be careful.

If you get busted for dr*gs again...

you will definitely be looking at time.

Don't worry, mate.

Even if I told him the truth, I don't think he'd believe me.

DENNIS: Steve! What'll you have?

So, what's up with you, then?

I'm just not in the mood for getting legless with a bunch of coppers.

You can join the hen party in the snug, if you like.

If you want my advice I'd stop feeling sorry for yourself

and start thinking about Gina.

Oh, so you know, then?

I know what you're going to say.

But it's no good. She won't have me. I'm not good enough for her.

Don't be daft. Have you asked her?

Yeah, I've asked her.

Did you do it properly?

Did you tell her that you loved her?

Did you make her feel that being married to her

was the one thing that you wanted

more than anything else in the world?

Not that you were just doing the right thing.

Sort of.

I thought as much.

Oh, hi, Phil. I was just getting the girls a refill.

Gina, I was wondering, if you had a moment, I'd like to...

If you knew the trouble we'd gone through to get this.

I don't think he's right in the head, that Sir Henry Bing.

Luckily for us, his gamekeeper realises that.

I don't believe it.

You're not drinking much. Neither are you.

Well, I want to enjoy tomorrow.

So do I. I've got to see my parents, though.

Oh, just be honest with them. Tell them how sorry you are.

Nobody believes me, do they?

You're all waiting for me to step out of line

so you can feel righteous.

- It's a bit unfair. - Is it?

You know what I think, Steve? I think it's time you grew up.

Yeah? And what do grown-ups do?

They accept responsibility for what they've done

and they stop feeling sorry for themselves.

Ooh! I'm all fingers and thumbs this morning.

It should be me being nervous today, not you.

Doesn't she look lovely?

Oh, Cathy. You look gorgeous.

Right. While you're drying, I just need to pop out.

- Is everything all right? - Yeah. I won't be long.

Don't worry.

Good night last night.

I wasn't expecting to see you this morning.

I thought I'd just look in.

To check everything's all right before Merton's big day.

Go and get yourself a cup of tea if you like. I'll keep an eye on him.

Right. Thanks.

Hurry up. Come on.

Get his clothes on. Put him in the wheelchair.

- You'd better whack me with this. - What are you talking about?

To make it look good.

RONNIE COUGHS

How's your head this morning?

Clear as a bell. Still no sign of Kenny, though.

I think he was drinking for the both of us.

Morning. Do you fancy some breakfast?

No, thank you.

You're right.

I was a spoilt brat,

but I do know the difference between right and wrong.

I want to make things right.

Who's guarding Ronnie? DS Parker popped in.

Sarge?

Sergeant!

What happened?

Oh... There were two of them, I think.

I don't know where they came from.

It's a pity you didn't tell the truth sooner.

Dennis, what's going on?

Get on to Ventress quickly.

Tell him to get back-up here and at the docks. Alert the coastguard too.

What rubbish has he been telling you? Dennis, the kid's a druggie.

Are you going to tell me that Ronnie Brown isn't Gloria's father?

Dennis, you're getting married this afternoon.

What's one more old lag to you, eh?

Look, I'm asking you as a mate. Walk away.

Aye, I thought we were mates too.

But you don't know me at all, do you?

You must be dry by now.

Where on earth can she be?

- Do you want me to take them out? - Do you know what you're doing?

Don't panic. I have delivered babies and performed surgery.

I think I can manage a couple of rollers.

- We've arrested Kenny. - Yeah?

You're still too late.

Maybe not.

Stay with her, Crane.

I hope we've got time for this.

You get in the back.

Is it OK?

It looks perfect. I told you I'd make a hairdresser.

MUSIC: 'Move It' by Cliff Richard

♪ Come on, pretty baby let's move it and groove it

♪ Well a shake-a, baby, shake oh, honey please don't lose it

♪ It's rhythm that gets into your heart and soul

Shut down your engines!

Keep going.

Shut down your engines!

Keep going.

♪ They just don't know what's-a goin' to replace it

♪ Ballads and calypsos they've got nothing on

♪ Real country music that just drives along ♪

Now where's the bridegroom?

I'm not sure. There's a bit of a flap on.

I think he's chasing a bank robber.

Oh, no. Kenny's got the rings.

Don't worry, Sarge. Leave it to me. I'll see you at the church.

Right.

MUSIC: 'Catch The Wind' by Donovan

♪ In the chilly hours and minutes

♪ Of uncertainty

♪ I want to be In the warm hold

♪ Of your loving mind

♪ To feel you all around me

♪ And to take your hand along the sand

♪ Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

♪ When sundown pales the sky

♪ I want to hide a while behind your smile

They're here.

Well, you're cutting it a bit fine.

- Sorry. - Come here. Let me fix you.

Where's the best man.

He's right here.

GINA: What?

Oscar, get your jacket off.

- What? - Get your jacket off!

♪ When rain has hung the leaves with tears

♪ I want you near, to k*ll my fears

♪ To help me to leave all my blues behind

Good to see you've made an effort, Oscar.

He made it by the skin of his teeth, then?

Yeah.

I don't care if there were ten bank robbers on the loose,

I wouldn't be late for our wedding.

Nobody could love you more than I do, Gina.

And nobody would be a better father for that...

for our baby.

I'll do anything.

Just name it.

But I'm begging you.

Marry me, Gina.

SONG: 'Here Comes The Bride'

Let's just get this one over first, eh, Phil?

CLATTER

Sarge.

You're beautiful.

Thank you.

As a sport, you can't beat angling.

I mean, out in the fresh air all day.

It was my brother Bernard who introduced me to it,

but as you can see... I pick things up pretty quickly.

Are you going to tell him it's the one we got from the fishmonger?

No, I think you should, Oscar.

Let's hope he doesn't offer to catch us one for our wedding, eh, Phil?

Yeah.

- Do you mean it? - Yeah.

What are we drinking to, then?

- To being a family. - Being a family.
