00:00MUSIC
00:22Morning.
00:24I managed to grab this off the market for his things.
00:28Still in bed, is he?
00:32You didn't think I was serious, did you?
00:35Oh, come on, Phil.
00:37He's my husband. We made vows.
00:39In sickness and in health and all that.
00:41We eat at all we like.
00:43But Nigel ain't going anywhere
00:45until I hear it from him.
00:55Will you stop?
00:56The social worker said she's happy for him to stay here,
00:59so you should be too.
01:00Yeah, but Happy might be stretching it a bit.
01:02He'll be visiting us more often now because of him.
01:04Right, well, he's a kid, so what's your dad's excuse?
01:07He was fleecing him.
01:08My dad was trying to get his money back.
01:10It doesn't matter who did what.
01:12We just need this all to just go away.
01:16Have you seen Jimmy's hat?
01:18No.
01:19I thought I left it in here.
01:21Have you seen it, Oscar?
01:22Jimmy's hat?
01:23Ain't here. Move on.
01:27Sweeping. Sweep.
01:28Shoot him.
01:29Grenade!
01:31Oi!
01:33My house.
01:34My rules.
01:35Stop spending your whole day screaming at a TV screen.
01:37And also, do you not own a pair of trousers?
01:42Showing your man up, am I?
01:44Oh.
01:45Well, at least my boxers don't have holes in the undercarriage of them.
01:48Made you look, though, didn't I?
01:51Made you look.
01:52One nil Peter.
01:53There you go.
01:54Come on.
01:55Yeah, you should, erm...
01:57You should set up a little list of jobs for him to do today.
01:59I don't...
02:00I don't need him to clean my fridge.
02:02I just need him to stay out of trouble.
02:04I bet your mum tried everything to keep on the street now.
02:07What...
02:08What were you expected to do here, Fentley?
02:10Oh!
02:11Shoot him in the face!
02:12Ah!
02:13Oi!
02:20Harvey and Cathy aren't gonna walk me clean in the pub once Ian's bought it.
02:23Don't worry about it, Mum.
02:25Ian's just making a load of noise.
02:27He's miles off getting a bit.
02:28Are you sure?
02:29Because from what Elaine's been saying, there's not been that much interest.
02:32Oh, that's why Ian wants it.
02:34Probably thinks it can get it cheap.
02:35As soon as someone flashes the cash, Ian Bill will back off.
02:38How it's gonna show up and flash the cash?
02:41Otherwise they wouldn't have to raffle it off.
02:43It's not a raffle, Jean.
02:44It's an auction.
02:45Oh, do you know what?
02:46Even Ian Bill, haven't it?
02:47He's better than some developer ripping it down and building flats.
02:49Well, easy for you to say.
02:51I won't be able to step foot in there once Cathy and Harvey are there.
02:55Driven out of my own local, I already can't go in the cath!
03:01Dad, it's me.
03:03Look, I'm guessing if Mum didn't tell me about Oscar, then she definitely hasn't told you.
03:07But he's been inside for joyriding.
03:10I mean, he's out now, but Mum can't handle him.
03:14Do you even remember that you've got a son?
03:16Cos I've got two and now Oscar's living with me and all.
03:19Can you just call me back if you can even be bothered?
03:26You all right?
03:27Yeah, you.
03:28Have you heard from Dad recently?
03:30No.
03:34I don't even know why I'm bothering.
03:35It's not like he's going to come in and save Oscar from himself, is he?
03:40Well, look, I might have made things a bit worse between him and Ian yesterday.
03:43Sorry about that.
03:44But you know what you want to do, you teenagers?
03:49You want to treat him like a dog.
03:52As tempting as that is.
03:55I've already got the socials on me and then after his little performance yesterday.
03:58No, I'm saying good behaviour, well done, bad behaviour, ignore them.
04:03You know, and if they can't be bothered then you just, you've got to find them a distraction, that's all.
04:10See ya.
04:11Later.
04:13So, what is it then?
04:17Fuse.
04:18Fuse?
04:19Yeah.
04:28Oh, I'm not distracting them, I promise.
04:30Just delivering lunch.
04:32Wow, nice one, cheers.
04:34No, well, I didn't think to.
04:42Oh, the look on your face.
04:50Sorry mate, it was too good to miss.
04:51Yeah.
04:52Right, double that chuchu, ain't you?
04:54Listen, we'll get the pizza later, if you fancy.
04:57Pizza film.
04:58Must be squeezed up on a tiny little sofa.
05:01What's not to like, eh?
05:02Sweet.
05:03You alright?
05:04You look knackered.
05:05Charming.
05:06How much trouble would I be in if I said something like that to you?
05:07No, no, I'm only saying it, cos I love ya.
05:08And maybe, you know, we need a little bit of help on the stool.
05:09You know, someone younger, do all the donkey work.
05:13You mean young Malfean living in my house right now?
05:14Lauren, after the stunt he pulled from my dad, he'd be claiming a bad back first chance he gets.
05:18He's just bored.
05:20You know what, if he stays bored, then how much longer have he got before he starts joyriding again?
05:23Or worse?
05:24I don't know.
05:25Yeah, I don't know.
05:26I don't know.
05:27I don't know.
05:28I don't know.
05:29I don't know.
05:30I don't know.
05:31What if I'm not going to do?
05:32I don't know.
05:33I don't know.
05:34I don't know.
05:35I don't know.
05:36I don't know.
05:37I don't know.
05:38I don't know.
05:39I don't know.
05:40I don't know.
05:41I don't know.
05:42I don't know.
05:43I don't know.
05:44I'm sorry, but that's not exactly our problem, is it?
05:45We've got our boys to work.
05:46We're doing this for the boys.
05:48Is it not better to, you know, get Oscar out of the house?
05:53And also, I just really feel like he, well, he needs to be shown what it is to be a real
06:00man.
06:01You know, my dad never done that, did he?
06:03And I honestly couldn't think of anyone better to do the job of Peter Bill.
06:08You really think I'm going to fall for that, don't you?
06:10Yeah, then, yeah.
06:13Do you remember watching that recording you made for me?
06:19Just be straight with him.
06:22She's trying to take you away.
06:28I think what Phil means is, Nigel, I want to take you home.
06:35I am home.
06:36You haven't lived in Walford for a really long time, Nigel.
06:41The last time you lived here properly, Doc was alive.
06:44Mrs C.
06:45Yeah, I know.
06:46Yeah.
06:47Mrs C, as she lives.
06:48See?
06:49See?
06:50He's lived there for years.
06:51It matters to him.
06:52It means something to him.
06:53Tell her how you left that life behind, you know?
06:56You found me.
06:57And I promised you that I'd be there with you.
06:59Right.
07:00Until the end.
07:01And I ain't about to back out of that now.
07:04Well, I know you don't remember a lot of our life together, Nigel, but I do.
07:09I remember everything.
07:10Look, in every single one of these photos, we're smiling.
07:14No one takes photos at a bad times, do they?
07:17I don't...
07:19My brain is just...
07:23I don't...
07:25I don't know.
07:26We've had years, Nigel, years of waking up together.
07:31And...
07:32And...
07:33And stacking the dishwasher and holidays and roast dinners and arguing over the thermostats
07:38and talking.
07:42And just...
07:43Just being together, Nigel.
07:47We've got a whole...
07:49Life.
07:52My darling, we've got a whole...
07:54Boring, beautiful life.
07:57That's what I want to take you back to.
08:05Please.
08:24You've been on that sofa so long, I'm surprised you can still walk.
08:28Boundaries, Lauren.
08:29It's a thing.
08:30Hey?
08:31Does anyone want to hang out in there anyway?
08:32You absolutely stink.
08:33God.
08:34How do you smell like that?
08:35You've only been there for two days.
08:38Look, I need to talk to you.
08:41I have found out a way.
08:43You can make some money.
08:44Yes.
08:45I just need to work out a way to get codfish to run me over.
08:47What?
08:48No.
08:49Oh, I've got you a job.
08:51Uh-huh.
08:52Should we repeat that on the stall?
08:54Yeah.
08:55No, I ain't joking.
08:57You know what I see when I look in the mirror, Lauren?
08:59Er, last night's ketchup.
09:04Oh.
09:05Potential, huh?
09:06I ain't about selling stuff no one wants.
09:08I'm about coming up with something no one's heard of that everyone needs.
09:10Mm.
09:11Meanwhile, on planet Earth, you are like a human dustbin.
09:16I can't fund your eating habits.
09:18I'm a grown boy.
09:21The social worker is going to keep coming back now.
09:23More often because of you.
09:25I am not going to let them think for one second that this place is not a good home for my boys.
09:30Which means you have to get off your backside.
09:32You should stop gaming and start earning.
09:36Tanya, I've all got away from you.
09:38Hmm?
09:39Got away from her?
09:41She kicked you out, Oscar.
09:43It was a mutual thing.
09:45We ran our calls.
09:47Oh, you just stop.
09:48Stop it, all right?
09:50Everything is just a joke to you, innit?
09:53Except it's not.
09:55This could be your last chance to put things right.
09:59Just take the job.
10:01Come on.
10:03Do the right thing for once in your life.
10:06Or what?
10:08Or you're going to have to go back to Mum's.
10:11Or find somewhere else to live.
10:13I can't stay here.
10:14I know they're friends of old, Jay, but...
10:26He's attached.
10:29He's really attached.
10:31And I think...
10:32Nigel's attached right back.
10:37What if Phil really is the best person to take care of Nigel right now?
10:43Hmm?
10:44What if me being here is just causing him pain?
10:47Well, them two, the way they are, it's half the reason why I rang them, to be honest.
10:53Because you're right, they are attached, and I don't think that it's right.
10:56I mean, Nigel's...
10:57No, he's clearly very sick.
11:11And Phil's...
11:13Oh, he's very vulnerable.
11:14He's gone aboard.
11:17Gone aboard, what do you mean?
11:19Nothing, nothing.
11:20Jay.
11:21Jay.
11:22You rang me.
11:23I'm here because of you.
11:26What's going on?
11:27I thought you'd haven't gone to work already.
11:31No, no.
11:33No, last night just sort of got away from me, so I'm good in sick.
11:37Don't look at me like that, it was worth it.
11:41Oh, there is nothing like doing the walk, Shane, in front of your own mother.
11:51Not that I'm ashamed.
11:53Because...
11:54He was really fit.
11:55Really fit.
11:56Right, I've got to go wash the night off for me.
11:58Yeah.
11:59And, er, the morning.
12:01Oh, er, what's the mark-up on pub grub these days?
12:04My bank manager wants specifics for my business plan.
12:07Oh, good afternoon to you too, Ian.
12:09Thinking of putting in a bid, Ben, are you?
12:11Yeah, I've got an estate agent coming round to value Bill's Hills.
12:14Hey, you won't believe what's just happened to me.
12:16I thought I'd stick a few quid on a scratch card, cos one off.
12:19I've only gone to one...
12:20What?
12:21...100 grand!
12:22No!
12:23Look!
12:24Look at it!
12:25Nice!
12:26No.
12:27No, it can't be.
12:28I mean, Alfie won big on a scratch card a couple of years ago.
12:30I mean, it can't happen to the same family twice.
12:32I mean, especially a family like yours.
12:34Well, it looks real to me.
12:35Cos it is, that's why.
12:36Ligged up a bottle of champagne when you're ready.
12:38The most expensive one you've got, because we are celebrating!
12:41Yeah!
12:42Yeah!
12:43Yeah!
12:44Yeah!
12:45Yeah!
12:46Yeah!
12:48Yeah!
12:49Right!
12:50Oh, we're ready.
12:51I'm moving away, is that?
12:53Is that really what you want?
12:54I mean, when you decided to leave her, you still had your head straight, and you made
13:01that decision, not me, not her, you.
13:03You just can't help yourself, can you?
13:06All you care about is keeping in me, you'd do anything.
13:09Please, don't talk to me.
13:10It was never him, you and Grant like he makes out, Nigel.
13:14You were always the butt of their jokes.
13:16You know about it.
13:17Well, what do I know about anything, eh?
13:19I've been married to him for a lifetime, you arrogant, pig-headed!
13:23Please, just stop that, stop it.
13:25This, this is where he wants to be.
13:27You know, I've been over backwards for him, I've done everything for him.
13:30I've sorted out his money, his appointments, everything.
13:32Oh, you're a saint!
13:33You know, that recording was him saying goodbye, that he didn't want to be with you anymore.
13:37So why are you still hanging on, eh?
13:39Because I love him!
13:40Argh!
13:53I've got enough sugar in here to sink a battleship, and I've bought him horrible drinks the
13:57legs he likes.
13:58I just want a special night, you know?
13:59Just the three of us.
14:00A special night?
14:01What?
14:02Watching wiki for the millionth time?
14:04Mate, you want to get out more, I'm telling you now.
14:08Night?
14:09Is that for an all right night?
14:10Something happened?
14:11He's just got a bit upset, he'll be all right in a minute.
14:14I thought I knew where I, where I, I, I couldn't.
14:20Emma.
14:29Do you know who I am?
14:33My name's Julie.
14:36I'm your wife.
14:39It's OK.
14:41It's OK if you don't remember.
14:44You don't have to remember things all the time.
14:47Sometimes, sometimes it's OK just to feel.
14:52I love you.
14:56You're safe with me.
15:01Did you feel that?
15:05She's good with it.
15:09We had a meltdown yesterday, couldn't we?
15:13Down yesterday, you couldn't see I'm a dust.
15:15All right, well she's learning well then.
15:19I think he just had a bit of a fright.
15:22Would you help him back in the house?
15:29Well, I don't care what Phil thinks about me.
15:31He shouldn't have to handle this on his own.
15:33At the end of the day, the more people who love us, the better, isn't it?
15:38You made short work of that.
15:39You fancy another?
15:40Yeah, why not?
15:41Stace can pay.
15:42She can barf in £20 notes if she wants to.
15:44A round of shots, Linda, please.
15:45A round of shots please, Clay?
15:46Yeah, OK.
15:47Oh, there is no justice in this world.
15:49You're probably going to blow it all on leopard print.
15:51Just come into a bit of good luck, which is nothing more than we're owed.
15:55I thought you lot might be celebrating.
15:57Oh, for goodness sake, is there anyone in Walford who has nerd?
15:59The state's bought the card in the minute, Mark.
16:01I was there when she won.
16:02Remember to give us a name check when the press come knocking.
16:04Hmm?
16:05Ain't you supposed to be seeing some slimy estate agent?
16:07Though I doubt your little eel shack is work enough to buy this place.
16:10Here, maybe states can kick in a few quid to help you out.
16:11Forget helping him out.
16:12I'll just buy the vick myself.
16:13That's the deposit, isn't it?
16:14You'll run the bar, won't you?
16:15Yeah, too, right.
16:16I've got some unfinished business with this place.
16:17Hey, Linda, when's that auction again?
16:18Oh, for goodness sake, is there anyone in Walford who has nerd?
16:19Oh, for goodness sake, is there anyone in Walford who has nerd?
16:20The state's bought the card in the minute, Mark.
16:21I was there when she won.
16:22Remember to give us a name check when the press come knocking.
16:23Hmm?
16:24Ain't you supposed to be seeing some slimy estate agent?
16:25Though I doubt your little eel shack is work enough to buy this place.
16:26Here, maybe states can kick in a few quid to help you out.
16:29I'm not helping him out.
16:30I'll just buy the vick myself.
16:31That's the deposit, isn't it?
16:33Yeah.
16:34You'll run the bar, won't you?
16:35Yeah, too, right.
16:36I've got some unfinished business with this place.
16:38Hey, Linda, when's that auction again?
16:40Next week.
16:41You can't do that.
16:42I'm buying this place.
16:43Well, money talks, Ian.
16:44My money is as good as anyone else's.
16:47Fuck it, him look mouthing off.
16:50Face like a rancid old turnip.
16:52He definitely bought it.
16:54I don't think I'm being too cruel, reading him on like that.
16:57No, if he thinks we're going to buy it, he ain't going to buy it.
17:00Oh, look to me, it made him even more determined to get it.
17:04All right, I hope I'm not going to get any trouble out of you lot.
17:07My lovers, not fighters.
17:09Most of the time.
17:10Yeah, thanks for that.
17:12Sorry.
17:13Do you want a drink?
17:14Yeah, why not?
17:16Help yourself to whatever you want, all right?
17:18Take care of them as well.
17:21All right.
17:22I'll see you shortly.
17:23I'll come over.
17:24There we go, girls.
17:26Oh, lovely, Nan.
17:34Are you going to cross?
17:35Don't know yet.
17:37Buy me one of those when I think about it.
17:39I want to.
17:54I'm sure.

19:00No.
19:01keeps me clinging on and the fact that I love him so much. I've been making sure
19:12that his phone bill gets paid. Well he can still wash and dress himself but sometimes
19:20he needs to remind him and if he cooks he burns himself so don't let him. I don't know
19:29if he's been able to say this for a while Phil but you really have been a good friend
19:34to him. I know you like Harry. I like him too. He's a small flag and he's a big lad. Don't
19:45want him to be too comfortable do we? Is he paying rent? He offered but I said this way
19:52if he give me something for the bills. He starts bringing his mates round. He's got me,
19:59I'm his mate and I like having him around. Deb says she can cover the stool for the afternoon
20:11which means I can cut loose for once.
20:18You know you're the only lit one the whole family. Yeah I know. I mean there's not much competition
20:26but still. Right so let me guess life with Lauren and Peter's making you want to claw your
20:32own eyes out. I mean I love her and everything but yeah. You know she's trying to make me
20:39work with Peter. Like I want to waste the rest of my life on some dead end mark up the
20:44rest of the losers. Oh losers like me you mean? No I don't mean. Right so how are we going
20:51to play this? You and me are going to have this deep meaningful black sheep of the family
20:58daddy issues or we're going to make a bet. Whoever sinks more of these sickening lethal shots
21:09in the next half hour wins. What's the state? If you win 20 quid.
21:20If I win you have to give this market thing a go. Just for a day.
21:35Easy money.
21:44Look I haven't got long. I promised Lex we get a takeaway.
21:47Yeah no sorry I'm not meaning to drag you away. I just wanted to check that you were
21:52alright with me after earlier. Look I weren't trying to make you jealous. You have made your
21:57decision and I can't be making you feel bad about it. So you know especially if I want us
22:02to carry on being mates. That's what we are. Yeah exactly. And that's what we have to be. Ain't it so.
22:10Well I tried talking to him but I just ended up nagging him. And I don't know why I did that because
22:23well I've been a teenager and I know that don't work.
22:25Listen. Just don't be so hard on yourself.
22:30I'm just going to end up pushing him away like my mum did. And then where's he going to end up?
22:37Where's he going to end up?
22:52Are you mad?
22:54Jimmy is asleep and Lou is doing his homework.
22:56Not in the house of fun is it?
22:59No.
23:00What is happening?
23:01Pete. What time do you want me tomorrow then?
23:05Oh so you're going to do it?
23:08Cash in hand, checking out fifties all day. What's not to love?
23:13Alright. Well we start at 6. Yeah? 6am.
23:17OK.
23:22So what did you say to him?
23:23Nothing. We had a friendly wager and I drank him under the table.
23:28It's easy for you. You're sitting down.
23:40I only got him to agree to work for one day so after that it's up to you.
23:50He's got potential you know.
23:52Yeah. So he says.
23:54Let's just hope we don't waste it.
23:58I'll miss you mate.
24:01I'll see you.
24:03See you big man.
24:06Take care of him alright?
24:07Of course. Thanks Jay.
24:09I'm so sorry you're going through all of this.
24:11But you should be really proud of how you've handled it all.
24:15Bye then.
24:18Where's Phil?
24:21Phil's me.
24:26The cab's here. Everyone's out there saying goodbye.
24:28He's asking for you Phil.
24:29Look I know this isn't what you wanted.
24:31Right but you've got to put yourself first.
24:32I know this isn't what you wanted.
24:33Right but you've got to put yourself first.
24:37Nigel's only going to get worse.
24:38And people like us have to be so careful.
24:39You know even the things we love can drag us out there.
24:40You know.
24:41You know even the things we love can drag us down.
24:43You know.
24:44You know.
24:45You know.
24:46You know.
24:47You know.
24:48You know.
24:49Having Nigel here these past few months has kept you both going.
24:51But it's time.
24:52You know.
24:53It's time.
24:54You know.
24:55You know.
24:56I made a promise to him.
24:57That I'll look after him.
24:58And I'll look after him.
24:59And he's gone.
25:00And he's gone.
25:01You know.
25:02You know.
25:03I'm not sure if we can.
25:04You know.
25:05But you've got to put yourself first.
25:06Nigel's only going to get worse.
25:07And people like us have to be so careful.
25:09You know.
25:10Even the things we love can drag us down.
25:14Having Nigel here these past few months has kept you both going.
25:19But it's time.
25:22You know, I made a promise to him that I'll look after him and even if I explain he won't
25:29understand because he'll just wake up tomorrow morning and I won't be there and he'll think
25:33that it's because I don't want to be. And then there's part of me that just don't want
25:42to be left alone in this house.
25:47You're not alone. You got me. I mean your old family's out there on the square. You must
25:54know by now how much they care about you. I really think you should go out there and
26:03say goodbye. I don't want to be morbid but you know this could be the last chance you
26:09get. I don't even have a clue what I say to him. You can say you love him.
26:16You could remind him that he saved your life. And that he's been saving your life everyday
26:25since just by being here. You could tell him he's the best friend you ever had. Tell him
26:35you know, Phil. While you've still got the chance. Please.
26:44I think we should just go. Sometimes it's easy on everyone just to slip out. Yeah. I think
26:55Phil might prefer it that way. Hey, hey, hey. It's alright. You've got me. Come on. Just focus on me.
27:06Let's get a go. You don't listen up to train, do we?
27:08Let's get a go. You don't listen up to train, do we? Thank you.
27:10Let's get a go. You don't listen up to train, do we? Thank you.
27:35Let's get a go. You don't listen up to train, do we? Thank you.
27:42Yes, sir.
27:54You don't listen up to train, do we?
28:01Good.
