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 the tool 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...
01:13We 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.
01:24Move on.
01:25Sweeping.
01:27Sweep.
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...
01:39Do you not own a pair of trousers?
01:41Showing your man up, am I?
01:44Oh.
01:45Well, at least my boxers don't have holes in the undercarriage of them.
01:50Made you look, though, didn't I?
01:51Made you look.
01:521-0 Peter.
01:53There you go.
01:54Come on.
01:55Come on.
01:56Yeah, you should, erm...
01:57You should set up a little list of jobs for him to do today.
02:00I don't...
02:01I don't need him to clean my fridge.
02:03I just need him to stay out of trouble.
02:05I bet your mum tried everything to keep on the street.
02:07I know what...
02:08What were you expected to do here from me?
02:10Oh!
02:11Shoot him in the face!
02:13Ah!
02:14Oi!
02:20Harvey and Cathy aren't gonna want me clean in the pub once Ian's bought it.
02:24Don'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.
02:36Soon as someone flashes the cash, Ian Bill will back off.
02:39Ian'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.
02:50I won't be able to step foot in there once Cathy and Harvey are there.
02:54Driven out of my own local.
02:56I 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.
03:11I mean, he's out now, but Mum can't handle him.
03:14Do you even remember that you've got a son?
03:16Because 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?
03:22You all right?
03:23Yeah, you?
03:24Have you heard from Dad recently?
03:25No.
03:26I don't even know why I'm bothering.
03:27It'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, teenagers?
03:48You want to treat him like a dog.
03:52As tempting as that is.
03:54I'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.
04:02You know, and if they can't be bothered, then you've just got to find them a distraction, that's all.
04:10See ya.
04:11Later.
04:13So, what is it then?
04:16Fuse.
04:17Fuse?
04:18Yeah.
04:19Where'd you go there?
04:25Ahem.
04:27Oh, I'm not distracting them, I promise.
04:29Just delivering lunch.
04:31Ah, nice one, cheers.
04:33No, well, I didn't think to, yeah.
04:46Oh, the look on your face!
04:49Sorry mate, it was too good to miss.
04:51Yeah.
04:52Right, double that cheetah, ain't ya?
04:53Listen, we'll get the pizza later, if you fancy.
04:56Pizza film?
04:57Must be squeezed up on a tiny little sofa.
05:00Just a lot to like, eh?
05:01Sweet.
05:02See ya there.
05:09Ah, you alright?
05:10Hi.
05:11You look knackered.
05:12Charming.
05:13How much trouble would I be in if I said something like that to you?
05:15No, no, no.
05:16I'm only saying it, cos I love ya.
05:18And maybe, you know, you need a little bit of help on the stool.
05:22You know, someone younger.
05:24Do all the donkey work.
05:26You mean young Malfi living in my house right now?
05:29Lauren, after the stunt he pulled my dad, he'd be claiming a bad back first chance he gets.
05:34He's just bored.
05:35You know what?
05:36If he stays bored, then how much longer have we got before he starts joyriding again?
05:41Or worse.
05:42I'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, you know, well, he needs to be shown what it is to be a real man.
06:00You know, my dad never done that, did he?
06:03And I honestly couldn't think of anyone better to do the job, Peter Bill.
06:08You really think I'm gonna fall for that, don't you?
06:13Do you remember watching that recording you made for me?
06:18Just be straight with him.
06:22She's trying to take you away.
06:27I think what Phil means is...
06:31Nigel, I want to take you home.
06:35I am home.
06:37You haven't lived in Walford for a really long time, Nigel.
06:41The last time you lived here, properly doc was alive.
06:45Mrs C.
06:46Yeah, I know.
06:47Yeah.
06:48Mrs C, she lives.
06:49See?
06:50See?
06:51He's lived there for years.
06:52It matters to him.
06:53It means something to him.
06:55Tell her how you left that life behind, you know?
06:57You found me.
06:58And I promised you that I'd be there with you.
07:00Right.
07:01I ain't about to back out of that now.
07:05Well, 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.
07:13We're smiling.
07:14No one takes photos at a bad times, do they?
07:18I don't...
07:20My brain is just...
07:24I don't...
07:25I don't know.
07:26We've had years, Nigel, years of waking up together and stacking the dishwasher and holidays and roast dinners and arguing over the thermostats and talking.
07:39And just...
07:44Just being together, Nigel.
07:47We've got a whole...
07:49Life.
07:52My darling, we've got a whole boring, beautiful life.
07:57That's what I want to take you back to.
08:05Please.
08:09You've been on that sofa so long, I'm surprised you can still walk.
08:28Boundaries, Lauren. It's a thing, hey?
08:31Does anyone want to hang out in there anyway? You're absolutely a stink.
08:34God.
08:35How do you smell like that? You've only been there for two days.
08:37Look, I need to talk to you.
08:41Lauren.
08:42I have found out a way.
08:44You can make some money.
08:45Yes. I just need to work out a way to get Codfish to run me over.
08:48What?
08:49No!
08:51Oh, I've got you a job.
08:53Should we repeat that on the stall?
08:55Yeah.
08:56I ain't joking.
08:58You know what I see when I look in the mirror, Lauren?
09:00Uh, last night's ketchup.
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.
09:12Meanwhile, on planet Earth, you are like a human dustbin.
09:16I can't fund your eating habits!
09:18I'm a crying boy.
09:21The social worker is going to keep coming back now, more often because of you.
09:26I am not going to let them think for one second that this place is not a good home for my boys.
09:31Which means you have to get off your backside, you have to stop gaming and start earning.
09:35Tanya, I thought I got away from you, hm?
09:39Got away from her?
09:41She kicked you out, Oscar!
09:44It was a mutual thing.
09:46We...we ran our calls.
09:47Oh, you just stop!
09:48Stop it, alright?
09:50Everything is just a joke to you, innit?
09:53Except it's not!
09:55This could be your last chance to...to put things right.
09:59Just...take the job!
10:01Come on!
10:02Do 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.
10:13You can't stay here.
10:22I know they're friends of old, Jay, but...
10:26he's attached.
10:29He's really attached.
10:30And I think...
10:32Nigel's attached right back.
10:37What if Phil...
10:39really is the best person to take care of Nigel right now?
10:42Hm?
10:44What if me being here is just causing him pain?
10:47Well...
10:49them two, the way they are, it's half the reason why I rang them, to be honest.
10:52Because you're right, they are attached, and I don't think that it's right.
10:55I mean, Nigel's...
10:57No, he's clearly very sick.
11:10And Phil's...
11:12Oh, he's very vulnerable.
11:13Vulnerable, what do you mean?
11:15Nothing, nothing.
11:16Jay, Jay.
11:17You rang me.
11:19I'm here because of you.
11:21What's going on?
11:23I thought you'd up and gone to work already.
11:26No, no.
11:28No, last night just sort of got away from me, so I couldn't tick.
11:30Don't look at me like that, it was worth it!
11:32What?
11:34Oh, there is nothing like doing the walk, Shane, in front of your own mother.
11:38Not that I'm ashamed.
11:40Cos he was really fit.
11:42Really fit.
11:44Right, I'm going to go wash the night off for me.
11:46Yes.
11:48And the morning.
11:49Oh, what's the mark-up on pub grub these days? My 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?
12:10Yeah, I've got an estate agent coming round to value bills bills.
12:13Here, you won't believe what's just happened to me.
12:16I thought I'd stick a few quid on a scratch card, cos why not?
12:19I've only gone to one.
12:20What?
12:21Hundred grand!
12:22No!
12:23Look!
12:24Look at that!
12:25Is that real?
12:26Yes!
12:27No, no, 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.
12:37Linda, a bottle of champagne when you're ready.
12:38The most expensive one you've got, because we are celebrating!
12:41Yeah!
12:42I know!
12:43I know!
12:44I know!
12:45Money!
12:46Right!
12:47Oh, we're breaking!
12:50I'm not moving away, is that?
12:52Is that really what you want?
12:55I mean, when you decide to leave her, you still had your head straight.
13:00And you made that decision.
13:01Not me, not her.
13:02You.
13:03You just can't help yourself, can you?
13:06Hey, all you care about is keeping in me.
13:09You'd do anything!
13:10Please, don't talk to me.
13:11It was never him, you and Grant, like he makes out, Nigel.
13:14You were always the butt of their jokes.
13:16What do you know about it?
13:17Well, what do I know about anything, eh?
13:19I've been married to him for a lifetime!
13:21You arrogant pig-headed!
13:23Please, just stop that, stop it.
13:25This...
13:26This is where he wants to be.
13:28You know, I've been over backwards for him.
13:29I've done everything for him.
13:30I've sorted out his money, his appointments, everything.
13:32Oh, you're a saint!
13:33Do you know, that recording was him saying goodbye, that he didn't want to be with you
13:36anymore.
13:37So why are you still hanging on, eh?
13:39Because I love him!
13:40I've got enough sugar in here to sink a battleship, and I've bought them horrible drinks the
13:57legs he likes.
13:58I just want a special night, you know, just the three of us.
14:01A special night?
14:02What, watching wiki for the millionth time?
14:04Mate, you want to get out more, I'm telling you.
14:07Right, Ant?
14:08Is everyone all right, Ant?
14:09Something happened?
14:10He's just got a bit upset.
14:11He'll be all right in a minute.
14:12No.
14:13I thought I knew where I...
14:14Where I...
14:15I...
14:16I couldn't...
14:17Hello.
14:18Do you know who I am?
14:19What?
14:20My name's Julie.
14:21Hello.
14:22Do you know who I am?
14:23What?
14:24My name's Julie.
14:25Hello.
14:26Hello.
14:27Hello.
14:28Hello.
14:29Hello.
14:30Hello.
14:31Hello.
14:32Hello.
14:33Hello.
14:34Hello.
14:35Hello.
14:36Hello.
14:37Hello.
14:54Hello.
14:56Hello.
14:57Hello.
14:58What?
14:59Hello.
15:00You're safe with me.
15:03Did you feel that?
15:10She's good with him.
15:12He had a milk down yesterday. He couldn't see up her 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.
15:34At the end of the day, the more people who love us, the better, isn't it?
15:45You made short work of that. Do you fancy another?
15:48Yeah, why?
15:49Well, Stace can pay.
15:50She can barf in £20 notes if she wants to.
15:54A round of shots, Linda, please.
15:56Oh, round of shots, please, please.
15:58Yeah, OK.
15:58Oh, there is no justice in this world.
16:00You're probably going to blow it all on leopard print.
16:02Just come into a bit of good luck, which is nothing more than we're owed.
16:08I thought you lot might be celebrating.
16:10Oh, for goodness sake, is there anyone in Walford who has nerd?
16:13Stace bought the card in a minute, Mark.
16:14I was there when she won.
16:16Remember to give us a name check when the press can knock in.
16:18Ain't you supposed to be seeing some slimy estate agent?
16:22Though I doubt your little ill shack is working off to buy this place.
16:26Yeah, maybe Stace can kick in a few quid to help you out.
16:29Forget helping him out. I'll just buy the bit myself.
16:32That's the deposit, isn't it?
16:33You'll run the bar, won't you?
16:35Yeah, too, right.
16:36I've got some unfinished business for this place.
16:38Hey, Linda, when's that auction again?
16:40Next week.
16:42You can't do that. I'm buying this place.
16:44Well, money talks, Ian.
16:45My money is as good as anyone else's.
16:48Fuck it, him look mouthing off.
16:51Face like a rancid old turnip.
16:53He definitely bought it.
16:54I don't think we're being too cruel, reading a mum like that.
16:58No, if he thinks we're going to buy it, he ain't going to buy it.
17:01Oh, look to me, it made him even more determined to get it.
17:05All right, I hope I'm not going to get any trouble out of you lot.
17:08My lovers, not fighters.
17:09Most of the time.
17:12Yeah, thanks for that.
17:13Sorry.
17:14Can you want a drink?
17:15Yeah, why not?
17:16Help yourself to whatever you want, all right?
17:18Take one in here as well.
17:21All right.
17:22I'll see you shortly.
17:23I'll come over.
17:24Here we go, girls.
17:26Oh, lovely, Nan.
17:30You going to cross?
17:36Don't know yet.
17:38Buy me one of those when I think about it.
17:39I want to.
17:54I'm sure.
17:56Nigel doesn't have many people left in his life.
18:25These days.
18:27Dot's gone and Claire's not around anymore and Josh, he's got his own stuff happening.
18:35It's me and you.
18:36We're basically it.
18:39It can't be a battle between us.
18:41Phil, it's not fair on him.
18:43But the last thing I want to do is upset him.
18:46Well, there we go, then.
18:49We've got that much in common, at least.
18:54He wouldn't have made that recording if he didn't still care.
18:59Yeah.
19:00That's what keeps me clinging on.
19:02And the fact that I love him so much.
19:09I've, er...
19:10I've been making sure that his phone bill gets paid.
19:13Well, he can still wash and dress himself.
19:19Sometimes he needs to remind him.
19:21And if he cooks, he burns himself, so...
19:24So don't let him.
19:25I don't know if he's been able to say this for a while, Phil, but...
19:32You really have been a good friend to him.
19:38I know you like Harry.
19:39I like him, too.
19:41But he's a small flat and, er...
19:42He's a big lad.
19:45Don't want him to be too comfortable, do you?
19:48Is he paying rent?
19:49He offered, but I said this way.
19:52If he'd give me something for the bills.
19:56He starts bringing his mates round.
19:58He's got me, I'm his mate.
20:01And I like having him around.
20:09Hmm.
20:10Deb says she can cover the stool for the afternoon.
20:13Which means I can cut loose for once.
20:19You know you're the only lit one, the whole family.
20:25Yeah, I know.
20:26I mean, there's not much competition, but still.
20:29Right, so let me guess.
20:30Life with Lauren and Peter's making you want to claw your own eyes out?
20:34I mean, a lover and everything, but...
20:37Yeah.
20:37You know she's trying to make me work with Peter.
20:41Like I want to waste the rest of my life on some dead-end markup the rest of the losers.
20:45Oh, losers like me, you mean?
20:47No, I don't...
20:48Right, so how are we going to play this?
20:52You and me are going to have these deep, meaningful, black sheep of the family,
20:57or daddy issues, or we're going to make a bet.
21:04Whoever sinks more of these sickening, lethal shots in the next half hour wins.
21:12What's the state?
21:13If you win, 20 quid.
21:21If I win, you have to give this market thing a go.
21:27Just for a day.
21:35Here's money.
21:36Look, I haven't got long.
21:46I promised Lex we'd get a second one.
21:47Yeah, no, sorry.
21:48I'm not meaning to drag you away.
21:50I just wanted to check that you were all right with me after earlier.
21:53Look, I weren't trying to make you jealous.
21:55You have made your decision, and I can't be making you feel bad about it.
22:00So, you know, especially if I want us to carry on being mates.
22:05That's what we are.
22:06Yeah, exactly.
22:08And that's what we have to be.
22:09Ain't it?
22:10So.
22:17Well, I tried talking to him, but I just ended up nagging him.
22:21And I don't know why I did that, because, well, I've been a teenager, and I know that don't work.
22:26Mm-hmm.
22:27Listen, just don't be so hard on yourself.
22:30I'm just going to end up pushing him away like my mum did.
22:36And then where's he going to end up?
22:52Are you mad?
22:54Jimmy is asleep, and Louie's doing his homework.
22:57No, it's like the house of fun, is it?
22:59Nope.
23:00What is happening?
23:02Pete, what time do you want me tomorrow, then?
23:05Oh, so you're going to do it?
23:08Cash in hand, checking out for fifties all day.
23:11What's not to love?
23:13All right.
23:14Well, we start at six, yeah?
23:16Six a.m.
23:18Okay.
23:22What did you say to him?
23:23Nothing.
23:24We had a friendly wager, and I drank him under the table.
23:28It's easy for you.
23:29You're sitting down.
23:30What?
23:30Oh, no.
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.
23:51Yeah, so he says.
23:54Let's just hope we don't waste it.
23:57I'll miss you, mate.
24:00I'll see you.
24:01Yeah.
24:02See you, big man.
24:05Take care, everyone, all right?
24:06Of course.
24:07Thanks, Jay.
24:07I'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.
24:16Bye.
24:16Bye.
24:16Where's Phil?
24:29Phil, it's me.
24:38The cab's here.
24:40Everyone's out there saying goodbye.
24:41He's asking for you, Phil.
24:53Look, I know this isn't what you wanted.
24:57But you've got to put yourself first.
25:01Nigel's only going to get worse.
25:02And people like us have to be so careful.
25:07You know, even the things we love can drag us down.
25:13Having Nigel here these past few months has kept you both going.
25:19But it's time.
25:24You know, I made a promise to him that I'd look after him.
25:26And even if I explain, he won't understand.
25:29Because he'll just wake up tomorrow morning and I won't be there.
25:32And he'll think that it's because I don't want to be.
25:39And then there's part of me that I just don't want to be left alone in this house.
25:47You're not alone.
25:49You got me.
25:51I mean, your old family's out there on the square.
25:53You must know by now how much they care about you.
25:59I really think you should go out there and say goodbye.
26:05I don't want to be morbid, but, you know, this could be the last chance you get.
26:12I don't even have a clue what I say to them.
26:14You can say you love him.
26:18You could remind him that he saved your life.
26:23And that he's been saving your life every day since, just by being here.
26:30You could tell him he's the best friend you ever had.
26:34Tell him now, Phil.
26:36While you've still got the chance.
26:41Please.
26:41I think we should just go.
26:49Sometimes it's easier on everyone just to slip out.
26:53Yeah.
26:54I think Phil might prefer it that way.
26:58Hey, hey, hey.
27:00It's all right.
27:02You've got me.
27:04Come on.
27:05Just focus on me.
27:06Let's get going.
27:20You don't want to miss that train, do we?
