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.
11:40Because he was really fit.
11:41Really fit.
11:43Right, I've got to go wash the night off, I'm making it.
11:44Yes.
11:45And the morning.
11:47Oh, what's the mark-up on pub grub these days? My bank manager wants specifics for my business plan.
12:06Oh, good afternoon to you too, Ian.
12:08Thinking 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?
12:21...100 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.
12:36Linda, 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!
12:45Money!
12:46Right!
12:47Oh, we're breaking!
12:49I mean, I'm 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.
14:38Hello.
14:39Hello.
14:40I'm your wife.
14:41It's okay.
14:42It's okay if you don't remember.
14:44You don't have to remember things all the time.
14:48Sometimes...
14:49Sometimes it's okay just to feel.
14:53I love you.
14:59You're safe with me.
15:05Did you feel that?
15:10She's good with him.
15:13He had a meltdown yesterday.
15:14Couldn't see it were 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.
15:32He shouldn't have to handle this on his own.
15:35At the end of the day, the more people who love us, the better, innit?
15:45You made short work of that.
15:47Do you fancy another?
15:48Yeah, why not?
15:49Stace can pay.
15:50She can barf in £20 notes if she wants to.
15:54A round of shots, Linda, please.
15:56A round of shots, 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,
16:04which 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.
16:19Ain't you supposed to be seeing some slimy estate agent?
16:22Though I doubt your little eel shack is working off to buy this place.
16:25Yeah, maybe Stace can kick in a few quid to help you out.
16:29Forget helping him out.
16:30I'll just buy the bit myself.
16:32That's the deposit, innit?
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.
16:43I'm buying this place.
16:44Well, money talks, Ian.
16:45My money is as good as anyone else's.
16:47Fuck, Ian, look, mouthing off.
16:51Face like a rancid old turnip.
16:53He definitely bought it.
16:55I 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.
17:10Yeah, thanks for that.
17:13Sorry.
17:14Do you want a drink?
17:15Yeah, why not?
17:16Help yourself to whatever you want, all right?
17:18Take one of them as well.
17:21All right.
17:22I'll see you shortly.
17:23I'll come over.
17:25There we go, girls.
17:26Oh, lovely, Nan.
17:34You going to cross?
17:36Don't know yet.
17:38Buy me one of those when I think about it.
17:40I want to.
17:55I'm sure.
18:01No.
18:02No.
18:10He said that...
18:14Yeah, I heard that.
18:16I heard.
18:23Nigel doesn't have many people left in his life.
18:26These days.
18:27Dot's gone and...
18:29Claire's not around anymore and Josh...
18:31He's got his own stuff happening.
18:32It's me and you.
18:36We're basically it.
18:39It can't be a battle between us, Phil.
18:42It's not fair on him.
18:43The last thing I want to do...
18:44is 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...
18:57if he didn't still care.
18:59That's what keeps me clinging on.
19:05And the fact that I love him so much.
19:09I've, er...
19:11I've been making sure that his phone bill gets paid.
19:15Well, he can still wash and dress himself.
19:19Sometimes he needs to remind him.
19:21And if he cooks, he...
19:22he burns himself, sir.
19:25So don't let him.
19:28I don't know if he's been able to...
19:30say this for a while, Phil, but...
19:33you 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...
19:43he's a big lad.
19:45Don't want him to be too comfortable, do we?
19:48Is he paying rent?
19:50He 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.
20:19I'm sorry.
20:21Hmm.
20:22You 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...
20:32claw your own eyes out?
20:34I mean, I love her and everything, but...
20:36Yeah.
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 mean.
20:50Right, so how are we going to play this?
20:52You and me are going to have these deep, meaningful, black sheep of the family,
20:57daddy issues, or...
21:02We're going to make a bet.
21:04Whoever sinks more of these sickening, lethal shots in the next half hour wins.
21:11What's the state?
21:15If you win,
21:1820 quid.
21:21If I win,
21:23you have to give this market thing a go.
21:27Just for a day.
21:35Here's money.
21:41Look, I, uh, I haven't got long. I promised Lex we'd get a second one.
21:47Yeah, no, I'm sorry. I'm not meaning to drag you away. I just, uh, I wanted to check that you were all right with me after earlier.
21:53Look, I weren't trying to make you jealous.
21:56You have made your decision.
21:59And 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.
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 Lou's doing his homework.
22:56You know, it's like the house of fun, is it?
22:59No.
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 fifties all day.
23:11What's not to love?
23:13All right.
23:14Well, we start at six, yeah?
23:16Six a.m.
23:17Oh, okay.
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.
23:31Oh.
23:39I only got him to agree to work for one day, so after that, it's up to you.
23:47He's got potential, you know.
23:52Yeah, 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.
24:08I'm so sorry you're going through all of this.
24:11But you should be really proud of how you've handled it all.
24:13Bye, then.
24:16Bye.
24:20Where's Phil?
24:29Phil, it's me.
24:30The cab's here.
24:40Everyone's out there saying goodbye.
24:44He's asking for you, Phil.
24:54Look, I know this isn't what you wanted.
24:56All right, but you've got to put yourself first.
25:01Nigel's only going to get worse.
25:03And 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.
25:20You know, I made a promise to him that I'll look after him.
25:27And even if I explain, he won't understand.
25:29Because he'll just wake up tomorrow morning.
25:31And 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 just don't want to be left alone.
25:45In this house.
25:47You're not alone.
25:48You've 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.
26:14You 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 still got the chance.
26:38Please.
26:46I think we should just go.
26:49Sometimes it's easier on everyone just to slip out.
26:53Yeah.
26:55I think Phil might prefer it that way.
26:58Hey, hey, hey.
26:59It's all right.
27:02You've got me.
27:04Come on.
27:04Just focus on me.
27:06Let's get going.
27:34We don't want to miss that trend, do we?
28:04We don't want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to miss that trend, do we want to
