PART 1
The watch practice basketball in the yard, when Nick brings out
their vets for the match - Blackwall Blaze.
Kate sits at home smoking and staring at the phone. Mary asks if
she's 'done it' yet, but it's obvious she hasn't. Mary then asks
for the number and dials the phone for Kate and then hands it to
her. Kate books an appointment at the clinic for the next day at
12.
In the mess, Hallam instructs everyone on their moves when they
play the basketball match. No - one really pays him any attention
and just carried on chatting amongst themselves and eating.
Later, Hallam sits alone in the mess, watching basketball in the
TV in the dark. Nick enters and makes them both a cup of tea.
Hallam talks about Blackwall's old basketball team and doubts
this team as everyone is screwed by with their personal lives.
An illegal gave or cards is going ahead in a bar. The windows are
smashed from the outside, then petrol bombs are thrown through...
The men stumbled out of the pub, which is now well ablaze. The
appliances arrive on the scene, where one person is reported
trapped inside. Sicknote then notices a woman up at the window. A
crew climb up the scaffolding to get her as the flames are
tackled from the outside and inside.
Bayleaf and Colin crawl low to get to the woman who was at the
window, before taking her outside. Although a woman is still
inside the building upstairs. Sicknote wakes the woman who's
asleep in her bed, then Sicknote and Hallam lead her to a sky
window, where she's lifted out first. Sicknote then gets out and
Hallam has trouble getting out, so he takes off his set, then
breaks through just as the building blows...
PART 2.
The watch go out onto the basketball court. All of the coppers
are much taller than them. The game begins and Kevin scores, but
the watch end up getting beaten, as Jaffa, Bayleaf and Hallam,
who screams at them all constantly, sit on the side line. Colin
gets knocked down and his nose bleeds, so he goes off, then
Sicknote complains about an ankle injury. Hallam and Bayleaf then
go on... Blackwall end up getting well and truly beaten, loosing
to the police who win 76 - 14.
The watch get in the mini - bus to go home. Hallam suggests that
they go to the coast, but they're all being miserable and none of
them want to go. In the end, Hallam talks them round and they
walk along the deserted sea - front. They arrive outside a closed
bar, that Hallam had suggested earlier on and he tells them that
it always used to be open. They all begin to moan more and want
to go home.
Kate talks to a doctor, telling her that she's not ready to have
a baby. The doctor tells her that she has to satisfy two doctors
before she can go through with a termination. Later, Kate and
Mary go to a pub, where Kate bursts into tears, saying that
getting pregnant was nothing like she had imagined.
The watch go to a pier, to find that it's all shut up as well.
Sicknote begins to moan about his foot and Hallam moans at the
lot of them for being so miserable. They then spot a woman
jumping off the pier into the sea. They all go down to her where
Recall and Hallam jump into the water and the others throw a rope
down to them. Bayleaf and Sicknote grab the girl from the steps.
The paramedics and police arrive, who confirm that this is the
third time that the girl had tried to jump.
PART 3.
The watch enter a bar that they've finally found, which is
actually open. They all drink and dance, although Bayleaf sits
practically all of the time, looking miserable. Jaffa approaches
Hallam, telling him that they should be getting back to London to
take the mini - bus back. Hallam tells Jaffa to ring the girls to
tell them that they're stuck at a presentation.
Sicknote and Bayleaf end up talking about what Bayleaf is trying
to do to get Melanie back. Colin sits alone at the bar and argues
with Jaffa, then ends up blurting out that he is going to propose
to Zoe.
Kelly paints Zoe'a nails and gives her a make - over. The phone
then rings... It's Colin, the watch had talken him into proposing
over the phone. Colin tells Zoe that they're still at the
basketball match and that they didn't win. He then tells her he
has to go after his money began to run out, but he's handed more
money. The watch stand watching him and he finally proposes. Zoe
stands still, holding onto the phone, the puts it down and bursts
into tears, telling Kelly that Colin proposed.
The press arrive at the bar, recognising the watch after the did
the rescue as Jaffa and a woman go out to the mini - bus.... The
watch have their pictures taken, before they leave for London.
Colin stumbled drunkly out of the mini - bus outside his and
Zoe's house, as Zoe runs to the door. Colin then falls up the
steps and collapses in the doorway... Zoe then carries Colin to
bed, telling him that she had told her mum that they're getting
married/
Kevin arrives home and Marion immediately appears behind him,
demanding to know where he has been.
