00:19Let's stop.
00:29Hello?
00:30So, is it Julie? I'm Jay.
00:33I 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?
00:57He always has 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?
01:06Shhh!
01:07How am I supposed to buy fags and brekkies with a ten on her?
01:10Do you know what?
01:11If you're gonna be living in this house, you've got to quit smoking.
01:14Ah!
01:15Ah!
01:16Ah!
01:17Put some clothes on and oh!
01:18Hey!
01:19Get a good look, did you?
01:20Mm-hmm.
01:21Mm-hmm.
01:22Mm-hmm.
01:23Mm-hmm.
01:24Yes!
01:25Yes!
01:26Yes!
01:27Yes!
01:28Yes!
01:29Yes!
01:30Yes!
01:31Yes!
01:32Yes!
01:33Yes!
01:34Yes!
01:35Yes!
01:36Yes!
01:37Yes!
01:38Yes!
01:39Yes!
01:40Yes!
01:41Yes!
01:42Thanks for letting me drop my stuff for yours.
01:44Thanks 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 inch
02:05and my husband answers one of them.
02:06All right, look, I may have downplayed on the phone how...
02:11I'm somewhere different he is.
02:21You think I won't find you?
02:23Sleep with one eye open, but I'll comment for you.
02:31Yeah, well, I still think it's too early for the cinema.
02:34Ah, best time of day. We'll have the old place to ourselves.
02:37Well, you start suggesting the back row and I'm legging it.
02:41You still here?
02:50Brian, Brian, Brian.
02:53Chill.
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.
03:02I should know you'd be like this, Brian.
03:05Tanya and Jay.
03:06Yeah?
03:07Yeah.
03:08Used to laugh about what a loser you want.
03:11Yeah.
03:12Well, how about I get in touch with a probation service
03:14and tell them about your little joyride, yeah?
03:16Yeah.
03:17Keep your eye on him. He's just got out of young offenders.
03:19Wait, Ian, no need for that.
03:22You pack it in.
03:24You started it?
03:25Yeah.
03:26Well, I said, rain it in, yeah?
03:27Rain it in.
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.
03:34I've been really worried about you.
03:40Sorry about that.
03:41You look well.
03:42Still my Nigel.
03:44Do I not get a hug?
03:47Just hang on.
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.
03:54Phil, 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, and you didn't think he wants to pick up the phone.
04:01I'm not being funny, all right?
04:02But I think it's best if you just...
04:03Look, are you seriously trying to tell me what's best for my husband?
04:06We haven't changed, have you, eh, Phil?
04:08Still a bully who thinks he knows best.
04:11What's she talking about?
04:13Who is this little 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 something?
04:29Only nearly a hundred years of Bill, family, legacy.
04:32Do you know what?
04:33I thought that new store was going to be the turning point, you know?
04:35Out of the ashes and all that.
04:36Well, 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 Vick up for auction.
04:46I think we should make a bid.
04:48Oh, Ian, not again.
04:50Well, why not?
04:51Oh, come on, Mum, look...
04:53Look, it's a sound investment, all right?
04:55It's our local pub.
04:56I mean, I've run enough businesses around here to know how to turn a profit.
04:59What could go wrong?
05:01Well, 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, all right?
05:09I 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, all right?
05:19I mean, Jimmy and Louis as well.
05:21Well, I think that's very noble of you, son.
05:24What, you're not going to try and talk me out of it?
05:27What's the point?
05:28If 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
05:46he always tried to bite you when he was a kitten.
05:49You'd 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'd 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.
06:24He, er...
06:25He struggles sometimes.
06:26You know, it's my place.
06:27Tricks, eh?
06:28Yeah.
06:29I know how dementia works.
06:30Thanks, Phil.
06:32Well, then you should probably know that
06:34turning up out of the blue
06:36and jumping on him in the middle of the street
06:38ain't the best idea.
06:39Are you serious trying to pin this on me?
06:43He's my husband, Phil.
06:45I thought he was dead.
06:48Well, I'm just saying...
06:49Yeah, well, don't!
06:53You should have called me months ago!
06:58And his flaming wife...
07:00He hasn't got a clue who I am.
07:01His final...
07:06healthy months.
07:08And you've stolen them from me.
07:13This should have been my time, Phil.
07:16And you've taken what I should have had.
07:20Will you stop shouting?
07:22It's fine, Nigel.
07:23It's all right, mate.
07:24I don't like it, Phil.
07:25Can you ask her to leave, please?
07:26Please, Nigel, can we just...
07:27Could you please leave now?
07:31Go, please.
07:46All right, stop staring.
07:50Girl from Woolford's got taste.
07:52Who knew?
07:55Oi!
07:57Chill.
07:58I was just going to show him my take.
08:04That's sick.
08:05Are you going to tell us what you did?
08:06I'm not sick if he got caught.
08:08You can play cops and robbers if you want.
08:10Let your strip touch me.
08:11Hey, just so you know,
08:13that's my daughter.
08:14So be careful who you talk to like that, yeah?
08:16Just ignore him.
08:18He was caught joyriding.
08:20Him and some brain-dead idiots
08:22nick an old banger
08:23reverse-litting at a wheelie bin
08:24behind pound-landing acne.
08:26There's nothing to brag about, mate.
08:28Jack, what the hell, man?
08:30He's your nephew.
08:32Yeah.
08:33This is Max's son.
08:35And this is Cathy.
08:36Yeah?
08:37Ian's mum.
08:39Makes sense.
08:40Uh, your grandson 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 of Teflon, that one.
08:53Even the stint inside ain't bought him down a peg or two.
08:55No, that's not going to help, is it?
08:56What he does need is someone positive in his life.
08:59And he's very lucky that you're his uncle
09:01and a servant police officer,
09:03who I know will definitely be coughing up to pay for his unpaid meal.
09:06There you go.
09:07I upset her, didn't I?
09:08I didn't mean to, I promise you.
09:09Yeah, I'm sure she'll understand, yeah?
09:10Yeah.
09:11Yeah.
09:12I don't like upsetting people.
09:13I really don't.
09:15Maybe you could find her, smooth things over.
09:18I'm not sure that's such a good idea.
09:20Oh, please, Phil.
09:21Just, er, bring her a cup of tea or something
09:24and, er, say I didn't mean it.
09:27Alright.
09:28Alright, fine.
09:29Just don't take sugar just a splash of milk.
09:57Do you mind if I...
10:15That girl back there, Barney.
10:18Didn't think she was your time.
10:19Why won't she be racist?
10:23She's a girl, isn't she?
10:24Swim both ways, innit?
10:25So, what, you don't have a girlfriend by now?
10:30Or a boyfriend?
10:32Erm...
10:33I've seen a girl before I went aside.
10:35Proper fit.
10:36Yeah.
10:37So, what happened?
10:38Her dad was fit up.
10:40Better being a lone wolf anyway, you know?
10:42I don't want to get tied down.
10:44Proper chip off the old block here, ain't ya?
10:47Long I sit round here, my eyes figure that's not a good thing.
10:51So, when did you ask here from him?
10:54Christmas.
10:55Well, that ain't bad for Max's standards.
10:572022.
10:58Hmm.
10:59Do you know who it was?
11:00Yeah?
11:01What do you mean?
11:02The thing I did wrong, make her not want me.
11:03No, mate, it wasn't like that.
11:04Then why does anyone know?
11:05Look, some would say you were lucky.
11:06Just be nice, yeah?
11:07Tell someone I'm not cool enough for once.
11:09Look, I ain't gonna start taking the football practice, or teaching you how to shave.
11:10But you're here now, ain't you so.
11:11So am I.
11:12So am I.
11:13Oi.
11:14Yeah.
11:15Yeah.
11:16You need anything to let me know.
11:17Yeah.
11:18Yeah.
11:19You need anything to let me know, yeah?
11:20Yeah.
11:21Someone's got to look out for you, ain't they?
11:22And everybody else.
11:23You need anything to let me know, yeah?
11:24Yeah.
11:25You need anything to let me know, yeah?
11:26Yeah.
11:27Someone's got to look out for you, ain't they?
11:28And everybody else.
11:29Yeah.
11:30You need anything to let me know, yeah?
11:31Yeah.
11:32What with a mini bisexual Max Branding on the loose, no one's safe, I don't.
11:33I'll tell you one person, please.
11:34If you're going anywhere, a delivery didn't turn up.
11:35Just grab one for the bad me.
11:36What with a mini bisexual Max Branding on the loose, no one's safe, I don't.
11:39I'll tell you one person, Liz.
11:40If you're going anywhere, a delivery didn't turn up to grab one for the bad me.
11:41Oi.
11:42You need anything to let me know, yeah?
11:43Yeah.
11:44Someone's got to look out for you, ain't they?
11:45And everybody else.
11:46What with a mini bisexual Max Branding on the loose, no one's safe, I don't.
11:47I'll tell you one person, Liz.
11:48If you're going anywhere, a delivery didn't turn up.
11:49Just grab one for the bad me.
11:50Oi.
11:51Ian ain't so bad.
11:52He got my dad set down for murder, didn't he?
11:53What?
11:54All because he slept with his daughter?
11:55I'll tell you one person, Liz.
11:56If you're going anywhere, a delivery didn't turn up.
11:57Just grab one for the bad me.
11:58Oi.
11:59Ian ain't so bad.
12:00He got my dad set down for murder, didn't he?
12:01What?
12:02All because he slept with his daughter?
12:03Just go, just go.
12:04That's enough.
12:05Look, Lauren and Peter are going for enough at the minute.
12:06Don't need you irritating Ian as well.
12:07Alright, so why don't you just be the bigger man?
12:08Show everyone you can apologise.
12:09Nah, why should I?
12:10Because Lauren's got a lot riding on this.
12:12Alright, don't let her down.
12:33It's a splash of milk.
12:40No sugar.
12:42He remembered.
12:45He's never spoken to me like that before.
12:52Well, he ain't like that all the time.
12:56You know, the worst part...
13:02How quiet it's been.
13:06The silence.
13:09Do you know how loud that silence can be, Phil?
13:15Yeah.
13:17Yeah, I'll do as it happens.
13:20He, er, he wanted me to come and find her.
13:23You know, he felt bad about losing his rag like that.
13:27For Nigel losing his rag means barely raising his voice and then going for a long walk and coming back with a packet of biscuits to apologise.
13:39Biscuits that he'd end up eating more than half of.
13:42You know, when I got that call from Jay, I thought, finally, light at the end of the tunnel, you know, the nightmare was over.
14:01It's not, is it?
14:11Before he, er, before he got really bad, he recorded some videos.
14:15He said he wanted you to see him sometime, you know.
14:18It's, er, they might explain a few things.
14:23It looks like today's that day.
14:27I'll give you some privacy.
14:34We'll walk round you. Don't move on our behalf.
14:51Just daydreaming.
14:53What, about a pub?
14:55Yeah, maybe.
14:57Taking on the stool got you dreaming big, is it, Ian?
14:59Yeah, I might make a cheeky little bid at the auction next week.
15:02You?
15:07Running the bid?
15:11What's so funny?
15:12People usually like their pub landlords, Ian.
15:15Hold on a minute.
15:17Look, when you and Alfie had it last time, it wasn't the epitome of success, was it?
15:21We did all right.
15:22Cat, come on, let's not rewrite history here.
15:25I mean, look, not everyone has got a natural business acumen and that's, that's fine.
15:29I mean, can't all be entrepreneurs, can we?
15:31Excuse me, we have got businesses, thank you very much.
15:34Yeah, a cleaning company, a limo business you share with me mum and a backstreet back van.
15:38I mean, you're hardly captains of industry, are you?
15:41Well, I'll be captain of kicking you in the face if you don't wind your neck in.
15:45And that is how you get barred before I've even got the place.
15:48This nice guy act didn't last long, did it?
15:51Ian Beale running the queen bend?
15:54With Cathy and Harvey propping up the bar?
15:57Doesn't seem right.
15:59No, Jean, you're right. It doesn't.
16:01It's a lovely home. Cheers.
16:08Which one are you as a musician?
16:10Guilty.
16:11Ah.
16:12I can show you if you like.
16:13Er, why don't we wait until you've had a little bit more practice, Peter?
16:16Oh, they're just my brothers. He's quitting, so it's a smoke-free house.
16:27Oscar, isn't it?
16:29We try and be joined up with the other services where we can.
16:33Um, I know it's not ideal, but if it makes it any better, he is great with the kids. He really, really is.
16:40Lauren, relax.
16:41Yes, I will need a few more details on his history.
16:44And we should go through logistics.
16:47Sleeping arrangements, that sort of thing.
16:50Otherwise, it's fine, yeah?
16:52Cos, er, cos if it's not, we can kick him out, you know?
16:55You've made some real progress, Lauren.
16:58And that's great.
17:00But any unforeseen stresses that might trigger a relapse, we will need to keep an eye on.
17:06Yeah, I know, of course.
17:08Er, he's promised me he's gonna be on his best behaviour, so...
17:12Please, Harry.
17:14Yeah, no, just before a couple of days.
17:17Yeah.
17:18No, okay.
17:19Yeah, and I understand.
17:20Kids come first.
17:21Alright, alright.
17:22Hello, Harry.
17:23Oh, my.
17:24He's trying to give me a heart attack.
17:25Why would I want to do that?
17:27Don't worry, it's just a saying.
17:29Why 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 at the sofa.
17:44I could kiss you, Coach.
17:47Come on, let's go.
17:48Buy you a drink.
17:49Sorry, Ian.
17:50Sorry.
17:52I'll come in peace.
17:56I can, er, run my mouth off.
18:01Sometimes.
18:02A defence mechanism for my many insecurities.
18:06Wow.
18:07A branding with self-awareness.
18:10Do you know what?
18:11That is a new one on me.
18:12Yeah, well, like it or not, we're sort of family now.
18:14No, well, do you know what?
18:15Like it or not, we're sort of not.
18:17Right, you might have pulled the wool over your sister's eyes, but...
18:20Brian, come on.
18:21It's...
18:22Ian.
18:23Look, I know, I know, I'm a lot.
18:25But when I'm real, I'm really grateful.
18:28Trace?
18:30No.
18:31Right.
18:32Ian.
18:39What?
18:40Nothing.
18:41Do I know you?
18:42One of them faces me.
18:52You all right?
18:53Mm-hmm.
19:00Play along, yeah?
19:01Play along?
19:02Ah!
19:03Ah!
19:04Ah!
19:05Ah!
19:06Ah!
19:07Ah!
19:08Ah!
19:09What's happened?
19:10It slipped on your messy floor!
19:11I think it's broken.
19:13Ah!
19:14Ah!
19:15Ah!
19:16Ah!
19:17Ah!
19:18Hi.
19:19It's, um...
19:20It's me.
19:21Well, um...
19:22You can see it's me.
19:24Unless you've got dementia too, which would be the most rotten luck.
19:29Here I am, rambling away, I know what you'd say.
19:33Get to the point, Nigel.
19:36Okay.
19:37So, um, I suppose we should start, um, um...
19:43With the elephant in the room.
19:46By which I mean, this could very well be coming at you from beyond the grave.
19:49Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
19:53Oh, scary.
19:54if it is
19:56I'm truly sorry
19:58I want you to know
20:02how much I love
20:03and how much I've missed you
