00:19Let's...
00:29Hello?
00:30So is it Julie? I'm... I'm Jay.
00:34I want to see my husband.
00:36Where is he?
00:38Oh, no!
00:41Oh!
00:42Morning, handsome.
00:45A spare bed not good enough for you, no?
00:47I tried. Couldn't sleep.
00:49I'm used to detention beds, aren't I?
00:53Right, a social worker's gonna be here any minute,
00:55and you need to be gone by the time she is, okay?
00:58Here always is much fun.
00:59Look, maybe you should just go take a little wonder, you know?
01:02Mm-hmm.
01:03And the calf, it does a half-decent breakfast.
01:05Free, is it?
01:07Oh, no, no!
01:08Oh, no, no, no, no.
01:11Oh, no, no!
01:16Oh, no, no, no, no!
01:17Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!
01:18Shh!
01:19How am I supposed to buy fags and brekkies with a ten on her?
01:22Do you know what? If you're going to be living in this house, you've got to quit smoking.
01:27Ah! Ah! Put some clothes on and oh!
01:31Hey.
01:32I'm sorry.
01:33Did you get a good look, did you?
01:40Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
01:43Thanks for letting me drop my stuff at yours.
01:46Oh, that's all right. You must be knackered off without travelling.
01:49Yeah, well, I'm used to getting no sleep over the last 18 months.
01:52Look, Jay, let's stop eating about the bush, shall we?
01:56Yes, I'm tired.
01:58And I'm angry.
02:00So if you don't stop all this cloak and dagger nonsense,
02:03then I'm going to have to knock on every door on that square
02:05until my husband answers one of them.
02:06All right, look.
02:08I may have downplayed on the phone how...
02:13What's the word?
02:15...different is.
02:19You think I won't find you?
02:22Sleep with one eye open, pal.
02:24I'll comment for you.
02:30Yeah, well, I still think it's too early for the cinema.
02:33Ah, best time of day.
02:35We'll have the old place to ourselves.
02:37Well, you start suggesting the back row and I'm legging it.
02:40You still here?
02:51Brian, Brian, Brian.
02:54Chill.
02:55It is too early for this level of negativity.
02:58I'll chill when you stop taking advantage of my son's good nature.
03:01I should have known you like this, bro, bro.
03:05Tanya and Jay.
03:07Yeah.
03:08Used to laugh about what a loser was.
03:10Yeah.
03:11Well, how about I get in touch with the probation service
03:13and tell them about your little joyride, yeah?
03:15Yeah.
03:16Yeah.
03:17Keep your eye on him.
03:18He's just got out of young offenders.
03:19Wait.
03:20Ian.
03:21No need for that.
03:22And you pack it in.
03:24You start it?
03:25Yeah.
03:26Well, I said rain it in, yeah?
03:28Oh, Phil.
03:29Can't go to the cinema without snacks.
03:31No, we get some there, Nigel.
03:32Get some there.
03:33Nigel.
03:38I've been really worried about you.
03:40Sorry about that.
03:41You look well.
03:43Still my Nigel.
03:45Do I not get a hug?
03:47Just hang on a second.
03:48Please, just give us a minute.
03:49Look, he shouldn't be here, all right?
03:50He's my husband.
03:52If anything, he shouldn't be here.
03:54I feel she has got a right.
03:55Look, don't you think he caused enough trouble, eh?
03:57Trouble?
03:58You've been with him all this time
03:59and you didn't think once to pick up the phone.
04:00I'm not being funny, all right?
04:01But I think it's best...
04:02Look, are you seriously trying to tell me
04:04what's best without your sprints?
04:06We haven't changed, have you, I feel?
04:08Still a bully who thinks he knows best.
04:11What's she talking about?
04:14Who is this man, you fella?
04:21Can you believe it?
04:22I've been taking grief off the spawn of Max Branning.
04:25Now the mighty have fallen.
04:26Mighty?
04:27Yeah?
04:28Have I missed that?
04:29Only nearly a hundred years of Bill family legacy.
04:33Do you know what?
04:34I thought that new store was going to be the turning point.
04:35You know that?
04:36The ashes and all that.
04:37Well, the start at least.
04:38Yeah, but I've been thinking.
04:40Maybe I should put us back on top.
04:42Yeah.
04:43How are you going to do that?
04:44Well, Linda's putting the Vic up for auction.
04:46I think we should make a bid.
04:48Oh, Ian, not again.
04:50Well, why not?
04:51What?
04:52Oh, come on, Mum.
04:53Look.
04:54Look, it's a sound investment.
04:55All right?
04:56It's our local pub.
04:57I mean, I've run enough businesses around here to know how to turn a profit.
05:00What could go wrong?
05:02Well, maybe because last time it almost tore this family apart.
05:05It'll be different this time.
05:07Look, I've lived around here all my life.
05:09All right?
05:10I mean, I could have gone and done anything, but no, I chose to stay where my roots are.
05:14And look, I think it's important to invest in the future.
05:17And I'm not just talking about Peter and Bobby.
05:19All right?
05:20I mean, Jimmy and Louie as well.
05:22Well, I think that's very noble of you, son.
05:25Well, you're not going to try and talk me out of it?
05:27What's the point if you've already made your mind up?
05:30See you later.
05:36There's our house.
05:38The chickens.
05:40There's our cat.
05:42Darth Vader.
05:44You named him that because he always tried to bite you when he was a kitten.
05:49You'll regret it now because every time you take him to the vets,
05:54that's what they call it like when it's his turn.
06:00He's been spending more time next door since he's been gone anyway.
06:02I've never seen his cat before in my life.
06:11This is Claire.
06:13Your daughter and Josh.
06:15I'm sorry.
06:16I can't do this.
06:17Excuse me.
06:18He, er...
06:21He struggles sometimes.
06:22You know, it's my place.
06:23Tricks, eh?
06:24Yeah.
06:25I know how dementia works.
06:26Thanks, Phil.
06:27Well, then, you should probably know that turning up out of the blue
06:31and jumping on him in the middle of the street ain't the best idea.
06:33Are you serious trying to pin this on me?
06:35He's my husband, Phil.
06:36I thought he was dead.
06:38I'm just saying...
06:39Yeah, well, don't!
06:40You should have called me months ago!
06:43I'm his flaming wife.
06:44He hasn't got a clue who I am.
06:45His final...
06:46healthy months.
06:47And you've stolen them from me.
06:48This should have been my time, Phil.
06:49and you've taken...
07:04It's final, healthy months, and you've stolen them from me.
07:13This should have been my time, Phil.
07:16You've taken what I should have had.
07:19Will you stop shouting?
07:22It's fine, Nigel. It's all right, mate.
07:23I don't like it, Phil. Can you ask her to leave, please?
07:26Please, Nigel, can we just talk?
07:27Could you please leave now?
07:30Go, please.
07:34All right, stop staring.
07:49Girl from Woolford's got taste.
07:51Who knew?
07:54Oi!
07:57Chill.
07:58I'm just going to show them my take.
08:04That's sick.
08:05Are you going to tell us what you did?
08:06I'm not sick if you got caught.
08:07You can play cops and robbers, if you want.
08:09Let your strip search me.
08:11Hey, just so you know, that's my daughter.
08:14So be careful who you talk to like that, yeah?
08:16Just ignore him.
08:17He was caught joyriding.
08:20Him and some brain-dead idiots nicked an old banger,
08:23reversed hitting a wheelie bin behind pound-landing acne.
08:26There's nothing to brag about, mate.
08:27Jack, what the hell, man?
08:30He's your nephew.
08:32Yeah.
08:33This is Max's son.
08:35And this is Cathy, yeah?
08:37Ian's mum.
08:38Makes sense.
08:40Er, your...
08:41grandson say you pay for this,
08:43on the house, sick on the tab sort of thing.
08:44That call you?
08:46Ian did say that Lauren's brother was back out of the blue.
08:49Yeah.
08:51Think she's made a Teflon, that one.
08:53Even a stint inside ain't brought him down a peg or two.
08:55No, that's not going to help, is it?
08:57What he does need is someone positive in his life.
09:00And he's very lucky that you're his uncle
09:01and a servant police officer,
09:03who I know will definitely be coughing up
09:05to pay for his unpaid meal.
09:08There you go.
09:14I upset her, didn't I?
09:17I didn't mean to, I promise you.
09:18I'm sure she'll understand, yeah?
09:20Er...
09:21I don't like upsetting people.
09:24I really don't.
09:25Maybe you could find her, smooth things over.
09:30I'm, er...
09:31I'm not sure that's such a good idea.
09:33Oh, please, Phil.
09:35Just, er, bring her a cup of tea or something
09:37and, er, say I didn't mean it.
09:41All right.
09:42All right, fine.
09:43Just don't take sugar just a splash of milk.
09:45Do you mind if I...
10:07That girl, baby, er, Barney?
10:17I don't think she was your type.
10:19Why wouldn't she be racist?
10:20She's a girl, isn't she?
10:24It's in both ways, isn't it?
10:28So, what, you don't have a girlfriend by now?
10:30Or a boyfriend.
10:32Um...
10:33I've seen a girl before I went to the side.
10:36Proper fit.
10:37Yeah.
10:38So, what happened?
10:40Er, that was Phil.
10:41Better being a low-wolf anyway, you know?
10:43I don't want to get tied down.
10:46Proper chip off the old block here, ain't you?
10:47Longer I sit round here,
10:50I figure that's not a good thing.
10:53So, when did you ask to hear from him?
10:55Christmas.
10:57Well, that ain't bad for Max's standards.
10:592022.
11:02Hmm.
11:04Do you know who I was?
11:05Yeah.
11:07What do you mean?
11:08The thing I did wrong, make her not want me.
11:11No, mate, it wasn't like that.
11:12All right, then why does he want to know?
11:14Look, some would say you were lucky.
11:22Just be nice, yeah?
11:25Tell someone in my corner for once.
11:30Look.
11:32I ain't gonna start taking you to football practice
11:34or teaching you how to shave.
11:37But you're here now, ain't you, Soph?
11:40So am I.
11:42Oi.
11:44You need anything to let me know, ain't you?
11:47Yeah.
11:48Someone's got to look out for you, ain't they?
11:50And everybody else.
11:52What, with a mini bisexual man's brain on the loose?
11:54No one's safe, either.
11:55I'll tell you one person, Liz.
11:57The girl here, a delivery didn't turn up.
11:59She's got one for a bad, mate.
12:02Oi.
12:03Ian ain't so bad.
12:04He got my dad set down for murder, didn't he?
12:07What?
12:07All because he slept with his daughter?
12:09Just go, I'll ask her.
12:10That's enough.
12:11Look, Lauren and Peter are going through enough at the minute.
12:15Don't need you irritating Ian as well.
12:18All right, so why don't you just be the bigger man?
12:21Show everyone you can apologise.
12:22Nah, why should I?
12:23Because Lauren's got a lot riding on this.
12:26All right, don't let her down.
12:27It's, uh, Splash and Rilk.
12:40No sugar.
12:44He remembered.
12:44Huh.
12:50He's never spoken to me like that before.
12:51Well, he ain't like that all the time.
12:58You know, the worst part, how quiet it's been, the silence.
13:11Do you know how loud that silence can be, Phil?
13:13Yeah.
13:17Yeah, I'll do as it happens.
13:21He, uh, he wanted me to come and find her.
13:23You know, he felt bad about losing his rag like that.
13:29For Nigel, losing his rag means barely raising his voice
13:32and then going for a long walk
13:33and coming back with a packet of biscuits to apologise.
13:39Biscuits that he'd end up eating more than half of.
13:41Biscuits that he'd end up eating more than half of.
13:46You know, when I got that call from Jay,
13:52I thought, finally, light at the end of the tunnel,
13:59you know, the nightmare was over.
14:06It's not, is it?
14:07Biscuits that he'd end up eating more than half of.
14:11Before he, uh, before he got really bad,
14:14he recorded some videos.
14:15He said he wanted you to see him sometime, you know.
14:18So, well, he might explain a few things.
14:24It looks like today's that day.
14:33I'll give you some privacy.
14:34We'll walk round you.
14:50Don't move on our behalf.
14:52Just daydreaming.
14:53What, about a pub?
14:55Yeah, maybe.
14:57Taking on the stall got you dreaming big, is it, Ian?
15:00Yeah, I might make a cheeky little bid at the auction next week.
15:03You?
15:07Running the fish?
15:11What's it funny?
15:12People usually like their pub landlords, Ian.
15:16Hold on a minute.
15:18Look, when you and Alfie had it last time,
15:19it wasn't the epitome of success, was it?
15:21We did all right.
15:22Now, come on, let's not rewrite a history here.
15:25I mean, look, not everyone has got a natural business acumen,
15:28and that's fine.
15:29I mean, can't all be entrepreneurs, can we?
15:31Excuse me, we have got businesses, thank you very much.
15:33Yeah, a cleaning company,
15:35a limo business you share with me mum,
15:36and a backstreet back van.
15:38I mean, you're hardly captains of industry, are you?
15:40Well, I'll be captain of kicking you in the face
15:43if you don't wind your neck in.
15:44And that is how you get barred before I've even got the place.
15:49This nice guy acting last long, did it?
15:51Ian Beale running the queen vent.
15:54With Cathy and Harvey propping up the bar.
15:58Doesn't seem right.
15:59No, Jean, you're right.
16:00It don't.
16:04It's a lovely home.
16:06Cheers.
16:08Which one are you as a musician?
16:09Guilty.
16:11I can show you if you like.
16:13Why don't we wait until you've had a little bit more practice, Peter?
16:18Oh, they're just my brothers.
16:23He's quitting, so it's a smoke-free house.
16:28Oscar, isn't it?
16:30We try and be joined up with the other services where we can.
16:35I know it's not ideal, but if it makes it any better,
16:38he is great with the kids.
16:39He really, really is.
16:40Lauren, relax.
16:41Yes, I will need a few more details on his history.
16:45And we should go through logistics.
16:48Sleeping arrangements, that sort of thing.
16:51Otherwise it's fine, yeah?
16:52Because if it's not, we can kick him out.
16:54You've made some real progress, Lauren, and that's great, but any unforeseen stresses that might
17:02trigger a relapse, we will need to keep an eye on.
17:05Yeah, I know, of course, but he's promised me he's going to be on his best behaviour, so...
17:10Please, Harry.
17:14Yeah, no, just before a couple of days.
17:18Yeah.
17:18No, OK.
17:19Yeah, and I understand.
17:20Kids come first.
17:21All right, all right.
17:22Hello, Harry.
17:23Oh, my.
17:24You're trying to give me a heart attack?
17:26Why do I want to do that?
17:28Don't worry, it's just a saying.
17:30Why do you need somewhere to stay?
17:32It's a long story, coach.
17:34I'll tell you another time.
17:35Do you want to sleep at night?
17:37No, I couldn't do that, mate.
17:39Why?
17:40You're my best friend.
17:42You can sleep with the safe heart.
17:45I could kiss you, coach.
17:47Come on, let's go.
17:47Buy you a drink.
17:48Sorry, Ian.
17:51Sorry.
17:55I'll come in peace.
17:58I can run my mouth off sometimes.
18:02A defence mechanism for my many insecurities.
18:07Wow.
18:08A branding with self-awareness.
18:11Do you know what?
18:11That is a new one on me.
18:12Yeah, well, like it or not, we're sort of family now.
18:14Yeah, well, do you know what?
18:15Like it or not, we're sort of not.
18:18You might have pulled the wool over your sister's eyes, but...
18:19Brian, come on.
18:22Ian.
18:23Look, I know.
18:24I know.
18:24I'm a lot.
18:26But on a real, I'm really grateful.
18:29Truth?
18:30No.
18:32Ian.
18:33What?
18:33Nothing.
18:39What?
18:40Nothing.
18:42Do I know you?
18:43Man than faces me.
18:52You all right?
18:53Mm-hmm.
18:53Play along, yeah?
19:00Play along?
19:08What's happened?
19:09Slipped on your messy floor!
19:11I think it's broken.
19:16Hi.
19:17It's, um...
19:19It's me.
19:20Well, you can see it's me.
19:23Unless you've got dementia too,
19:26which would be the most rotten luck.
19:29Here I am, rambling away.
19:31I know what you'd say.
19:33Get to the point, Nigel.
19:36So, um...
19:38I suppose we should start
19:41with the elephant in the room.
19:44By which I mean...
19:46This could very well be coming at you
19:49from beyond the grave.
19:51Oh, scary.
19:55If it is...
19:56I'm truly sorry.
20:00I want you to know how much I love you.
20:04And how much I've missed you every single day.
20:07I know I should have told you.
20:10And...
20:11I know you would have been with me
20:13every step of the way.
20:15You are and always will be
20:18the best thing that ever happened to me, Julie Bates.
20:21You have unquestionably given me the best years of my life.
20:26And, uh...
20:28That's why I couldn't do it to you.
20:30Become a burden.
20:32It was never my, um...
20:34plan to come back here to Walford.
20:37Uh...
20:38It just, uh...
20:39I just sort of drifted, you know, like Flotsam and Jetsam.
20:43But, uh...
20:45As much as it hurt to leave you
20:48finding Phil
20:50after all these years...
20:52Julie, he's been a godsend.
20:54And, um...
20:56Between you and I, um...
20:58I think he needs me as much as I need him.
21:03Anyway...
21:05Uh...
21:09I don't know how long I've got left to live.
21:12Could be years.
21:13It could be months.
21:17But...
21:19That's my death sentence.
21:22It shouldn't have to be yours.
21:25You should be happy.
21:27I want you to have a good life, Julie.
21:30That's the gift you gave to me.
21:35And I'm giving...
21:37I'm giving it back to you.
21:40Because, um...
21:43If I can't hold you in my mind...
21:46I will always hold you in my heart.
21:54What the...
21:55Phil!
21:57Uh...
21:58How do I stop this?
22:00It's...
22:02There isn't even any mess!
22:03You're making it up!
22:04Do I not like I'm making it up!?
22:05Am I making it up!?
22:06I ain't getting involved!
22:07I just want me chips!
22:08Look, you think you can hold your arm out straight?
22:10There isn't even any mess. You're making it up.
22:20Do I look like I'm making it up? Am I making it up?
22:23I ain't getting involved. I just want me chips.
22:25You think you can hold your arm out straight?
22:27I think I need to get into the hospital.
22:31There isn't anything there.
22:32Facts are facts, Brian. Didn't ship over nothing, did I?
22:35Right, come on. Can you stand up, Oscar?
22:38Yeah.
22:39That's my nephew Stace.
22:42Stace? What, as in Stacey Slater?
22:45I've heard all about you.
22:48Yeah, Dad, Brother, Uncle. Want to make it four in a row?
22:51I've got to be really careful what you say next.
22:53I don't want to say thank you.
22:55Yeah, the only person my mum can't stand more than me is you.
22:59He's faking it.
23:01We'll see what the X-rays say. Thanks, Brian.
23:04See, this is what being a bigger person does.
23:06I apologise. Like you told me to, he tells me to go do one, doesn't he?
23:09What, what, what? Hang on.
23:10Let me name this place again.
23:12I need the deets for the insurance forms.
23:14Oscar.
23:15Leave it out.
23:16This is my dominant arm, Uncle Jack.
23:18How am I supposed to reintegrate back into society as a functioning human like this?
23:21He's milking it.
23:22I can't milk it, Brian. That's sort of the point.
23:27It's not looking good, is it?
23:30Oh, all right, all right. Look, um, maybe we can come to some sort of arrangement.
23:36If you keep your mouth shut.
23:41If I can't hold you in my mind, I will always hold you in my heart.
23:49Whether...
23:50Phil, er, how do I stop this?
23:55When did I get so old?
23:57He'll never be a burden to me, Nigel.
24:00Never in a million years.
24:03He, er, he did a couple more videos.
24:06Josh and Claire.
24:08Are you still in touch with him?
24:10Oh, er, Claire, not so much, no.
24:12Erm...
24:13But Josh, he's been my rock, really.
24:16He moved back home the month after...
24:19the month after he disappeared.
24:21He's had a beef with at the moment.
24:24He'll be made up when...
24:26when I tell him that I found him.
24:28I can't remember the last time we were all together.
24:31Avie Moore.
24:32My 50th.
24:34It was your 60th.
24:37Someone's bright idea to get your skiing lessons.
24:41Now that'll pay the seat.
24:43You'd be wasting your money.
24:45Could barely get him out with a chairlift.
24:47My bum was numb for days.
24:50Right.
24:52Who fancies a takeaway curry?
24:54I'm done about you two, but I'm starving.
24:57Julie never usually lets me have one.
24:59Too much salt, too many carbs.
25:06Hey, Joe.
25:08What do you fancy?
25:10You can have spag bol
25:13or Thai green curry?
25:16Thai green curry.
25:18But, er, not too spicy, though.
25:21What are you doing?
25:22Co-dress said it was all fine.
25:27You could have told us we've got a new lodger.
25:29We've got a new lodger.
25:31We are going to check on him in, alright?
25:34I don't care how you feel.
25:35He's just a broken arm.
25:37Oh.
25:38What's that arm?
25:39Oh.
25:40What's that arm?
25:41Quite a little...
25:46Oh, look at that.
25:47It's a miracle.
25:50I want my money.
25:51All of it.
25:52Come on, love.
25:53Give it back.
25:54Fair's fair.
25:55Nah.
25:56I think I'll keep it.
25:57Emotional trauma.
25:58Some scars on the business.
25:59Right, that's it.
26:00Come here.
26:01Ian.
26:02Not now.
26:03Hey, look.
26:04Norman and Peter, what's that have the social worker with him?
26:05Ian!
26:06No.
26:07I want my money.
26:08Help!
26:09I've been attacked by a pedo!
26:10Ian!
26:11Here's the money.
26:12Fine.
26:13You want that bag?
26:14It's yours.
26:15Dad!
26:16Er...
26:17We're just writing a sketch for my...
26:23socials.
26:24Huh?
26:25Let's go again.
26:26Once more.
26:27With the...
26:28Yeah?
26:29On second thoughts, maybe we should chat some more.
26:35It's been less than 24 hours.
26:37Yeah, it's just even problems, innit?
26:39You're settling.
26:43Get some money.
26:45No.
27:02He's dodged the world in there.
27:04Oh.
27:09Er...
27:10I'll find a...
27:11a bed and breakfast nearby.
27:13They've got a room for the night.
27:19You will make sure he gets a good night's sleep, won't you, Phil?
27:25He's gonna need it with a nine hour train journey in the morning.
27:28What?
27:31For taking care of him.
27:34It's about time you two reconnected.
27:38But I'm taking him home.
27:40Phil.
27:41Just hang on a sec, go on.
27:43Hang on.
27:44I've missed the last 18 months I'm not missing anymore.
27:47I'm taking him back to Scotland.
27:49I'm taking him back to Scotland.
27:50I'm taking him back to Scotland.
27:51Okay, so good.
27:53I'm counting on a second.
27:54I'm going to take a moment to have people as a child.
27:55I'm going to get a camera on you.
27:56I'm going to use that for a second.
27:57I'm going to be slightly more foolish.
27:58I'm going to go on a sec, OK.
27:59I'm going to go on a sec, but I'm going to be going on a sec.
