00:00Music
00:29Morning. I managed to grab this off the market for his things. Still in bed, is he?
00:43You didn't think I was serious, did you? Oh, come on, Phil. He's my husband. We made vows
00:50in sickness and in health and all that. We could talk what we like. And Nigel ain't
00:54going anywhere until I hear it from him. Will you stop? The social worker said she's
01:09happy for him to stay here, so you should be too. Yeah, but Happy might be stretching it
01:12a bit. She'll be visiting us more often now because of him. Right, well, he's a kid, so
01:16what's your dad's excuse? He was fleecing him. My dad was trying to get his money back. It
01:21doesn't matter who did what. We just need this all to just go away. Have you seen Jimmy's
01:28hat? No. I felt I left it in here. Have you seen it, Oscar? Jimmy's hat? I ain't here.
01:35Move on. Sweeping. Sweep. Shoot him. Grenade! Oi! My house, my rules. Stop spending your whole
01:46day screaming at a TV screen. And also, do you not own a pair of trousers?
01:53Showing your man up, am I? Oh. Well, at least my boxers don't have holes in the
01:57undercarriage of them. Made you look, though, didn't I? Made you look. 1-0 Peter. There
02:03you go. Come on. Yeah, you should set up a little list of jobs for him to do today. I
02:10don't need him to clean my fridge. I just need him to stay out of trouble. I bet your
02:15mum tried everything to keep on the street. Now, what were you expected to do here, haven't
02:20you? Oh! Shoot him in the face! Ah! Oy!
02:27Harvey and Kathy aren't going to want me clean in the pub once Ian's bought it. Don't
02:34worry about it, Mum. Ian's just making a load of noise. He's miles off getting the
02:38bit. Are you sure? Because from what Elaine's been saying, there's not been that much interest.
02:42Oh, that's why Ian wants it. Probably thinks he can get it cheap. Soon as someone flashes
02:47the cash, Ian Bill will back off. Who's going to show up and flash the cash? Otherwise,
02:51they wouldn't have to raffle it off. It's not a raffle, Jean. It's an auction. Oh,
02:55do you know what? Even Ian Bill, haven't it? He's better than some developer ripping it
02:58down and building flats. Well, easy for you to say. I won't be able to set foot in there
03:03once Kathy and Harvey are there. Driven out of my own local, I already can't go in the
03:08cath. Dad, it's me. Look, I'm guessing if Mum didn't tell me about Oscar, then she definitely
03:16hasn't told you, but he's been inside for joyriding. I mean, he's out now, but Mum can't handle
03:23him. Do you even remember that you've got a son? Cos I've got two and now Oscar's living
03:28with me and all. Can you just call me back if you can even be bothered? You all right?
03:37Yeah, you. Have you heard from Dad recently? No. I don't even know why I'm bothering. It's
03:46not like he's going to come in and save Oscar from himself, is he? Well, look, I might have
03:51made things a bit worse between him and Ian yesterday. Sorry about that. But you know what
03:57you want to do, teenagers? You want to treat him like a dog? As tempting as that is, I've
04:06already got the socials on me and then after his little performance yesterday. No, I'm
04:09saying good behaviour, well done, bad behaviour, ignore them. You know, and if they can't
04:14be bothered, then you just, you've got to find them a distraction, that's all.
04:20See ya. Later. So, what is it then? Fuse. Fuse? Yeah. Where'd you get that?
04:37Oh, I'm not distracting him, I promise. Just delivering lunch. Wow, nice one. Cheers.
04:43No, well, I didn't think to, yeah. Oh, the look on your face. Sorry, mate, it was too
05:01good to miss. Yeah. Well, I'd have a latch you to, ain't it? Listen, we'll get the pizza
05:05later, if you fancy. Pizza film. Must be squeezed up on a tiny little sofa. What's not to like,
05:12you? Sweet. See you there.
05:19Ah, you alright? Hi. Well, you look knackered. Charming. How much trouble would I be in if
05:25I said something like that to you? No, no, no, I'm only saying it, cos I love ya. And
05:29maybe, you know, we need a little bit of help on the stool. Someone younger, do all the
05:35donkey work. You mean young Malfi and living in my house right now? Well, and after the stunt
05:41he pulled my dad, he'd be claiming a bad back first chance he gets. He's just bored. You
05:47know what, if he stays bored, then how much longer have we got before he starts joyriding
05:51again, or worse? I'm sorry, that's not exactly our problem, is it? We've got our boys to work.
05:56doing this for the boys. Is it not better to, you know, get Oscar out of the house? And
06:03also, I just really feel like he, well, he needs to be shown what it is to be a real man.
06:10You know, my dad never done that, did he? And I honestly couldn't think of anyone better
06:15to do the job, Peterbill. You really think I'm gonna fall for that, don't you?
06:24Do you remember watching that recording you made for me? Just be straight with him. She's
06:32trying to take you away. I think what Phil means is, Nigel, I want to take you home.
06:45I am home. You haven't lived in Walford for a really long time, Nigel. The last time you
06:52lived here properly, Doc was alive. Mrs. C. Yeah, I know. Yeah, Mrs. C, as she lives.
06:59See? See? He's lived there for years. It matters to him. It means something to him.
07:04Tell her how you left that life behind you, don't you? You found me. And I promised you
07:09that I'd be there with you, right, until the end. And I ain't about to back out of that now.
07:15Well, I know you don't remember a lot of our life together, Nigel, but I do. I remember
07:20everything. Look, in every single one of these photos, we're smiling.
07:24No one takes photos of the bad times, do they?
07:27I don't... I don't know.
07:30My brain is just... I don't... I don't know.
07:37We've had years, Nigel, years of waking up together and stacking the dishwasher and holidays
07:45and roast dinners and arguing over the thermostats and talking.
07:50just being together, Nigel. We've got a whole life. My darling, we've got a whole boring, beautiful life.
08:06That's what I want to take you back to. Please.
08:16You've been on that sofa so long, I'm surprised you can still walk.
08:22Boundaries, Lauren. It's a thing, eh?
08:24Does anyone want to hang out in there anyway? You're absolutely the stink. God.
08:28How do you smell like that? You've only been there for two days. Look, I need to talk to you.
08:34I have found out a way that you can make some money.
08:38Yes, I just need to work out a way to get codfish to run me over.
08:42What? No! Oh, I've got you a job.
08:46It's with Peter on the stall.
08:48Yeah.
08:49No, I ain't joking.
08:50You know what I see when I look in the mirror, Lauren?
08:52Er, last night's ketchup.
08:54Potential, eh? I ain't about selling stuff no one wants. I'm about coming up with something
08:59no one's heard of that everyone needs.
09:01Meanwhile, on planet Earth, you are like a human dustbin. I can't fund your eating habits.
09:03I'm a growing boy.
09:04Oh, I've got you a job.
09:05Oh, I've got you a job.
09:06Oh, I've got you a job.
09:07Oh, I've got you a job.
09:08Oh, I've got you a job.
09:09Oh, I've got you a job.
09:10Oh, I've got you a job.
09:11Oh, I've got you a job.
09:12Is it with Peter on the stall?
09:13Yeah.
09:14No, I ain't joking.
09:15You know what I see when I look in the mirror, Lauren?
09:16Er, last night's ketchup.
09:17Oh.
09:18Potential, eh?
09:19I ain't about selling stuff no one wants.
09:20I'm about coming up with something no one's heard of that everyone needs.
09:22Meanwhile, on planet Earth, you are like a human dustbin. I can't fund your eating habits.
09:29I'm a growing boy.
09:31The social worker is going to keep coming back now, more often because of you.
09:36I am not going to let them think for one second that this place is not a good home for my boys.
09:41Which means you have to get off your backside, you should stop gaming and start earning.
09:46Tanya, I've all got away from you.
09:49Got away from her?
09:51She kicked you out, Oscar.
09:53It was a mutual thing.
09:56We ran our calls.
09:57Oh, you just stop.
09:58Stop it, alright?
10:00Everything is just a joke to you, innit?
10:03Except it's not.
10:05This could be your last chance to put things right.
10:09Just take the job.
10:11Come on.
10:12Do the right thing for once in your life.
10:16Or what?
10:17Or you're going to have to go back to mum's.
10:20We'll find somewhere else to live.
10:22We can't stay here.
10:24I know they're friends of old, Jay, but he's attached.
10:39He's really attached.
10:41And I think Nigel's attached right back.
10:45What if Phil really is the best person to take care of Nigel right now?
10:52Hmm?
10:53What if me being here is just causing him pain?
10:57Well, them two, the way they are, it's half the reason why I rang them, to be honest.
11:03Because you're right, they are attached, and I don't think that it's right.
11:06I mean, Nigel's, you know, he's clearly very sick.
11:10And Phil's, oh, he's very vulnerable.
11:14What do you mean?
11:15Nothing.
11:16Jay, Jay.
11:17You rang me.
11:18I'm here because of you.
11:19What's going on?
11:20I thought you'd up and gone to work already.
11:21No, no.
11:22No, last night just sort of got away from me, so I'm good in sick.
11:23Don't look at me like that.
11:24It was worth it.
11:25Oh, there is nothing like doing the walk, Shane, in front of your own mother.
11:26Not that I'm ashamed.
11:27Because he was really fit.
11:28Oh, no, no.
11:29I don't know.
11:30You're not going to work.
11:31What's going on?
11:32I thought you'd up and gone to work already.
11:34No, no.
11:35No, last night just sort of got away from me, so I'm good in sick.
11:38Don't look at me like that.
11:39It was worth it.
11:41Oh, there is nothing like doing the walk, Shane, in front of your own mother.
11:50Not that I'm ashamed.
11:53He was really fit.
11:55Really fit.
11:56Right, I'm going to go wash the night off for me.
11:57Yeah.
11:58And, er, the morning.
12:00Oh, er, what's the mark-up on pub grub these days?
12:03My bank manager wants specifics for my business plan.
12:06Oh, good afternoon to you too, Ian.
12:08Thinking of putting in a bid, then, are you?
12:10Yeah, I've got an estate agent coming round to value Bill's Hills.
12:12Hey, you won't believe what's just happened to me.
12:15I thought I'd stick a few quid on a scratch card, cos why not?
12:18I've only gone to one.
12:19What?
12:20Hundred grand.
12:21No.
12:22Look at that.
12:23Look at that.
12:24Is that real?
12:25Yes.
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.
12:34It 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!
12:43Money!
12:44Money!
12:45Right!
12:46Oh, we're ready for that.
12:49I mean, I'm moving away, is that?
12:52Is that really what you want?
12:54I mean, when you decided to leave her, you still had your head straight.
12:59And 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.
13:08You'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!
13:21You arrogant, pig-headed!
13:23Please, just stop it.
13:24Stop it.
13:25This...
13:26This is where he wants to be.
13:27You 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!
13:33You know, that recording was him saying goodbye.
13:35That he didn't want to be with you any more.
13:36So why are you still hanging on, eh?
13:38I love him!
13:39Because I love him!
13:40AHHHHH!
13:53Right, I've got enough sugar in here to sink a battleship,
13:55and I've bought him horrible drinks the legs he likes.
13:58I just want a special night, hon.
13:59Just the three of us.
14:00A special night?
14:02What, watching wiki for the millionth time?
14:04Mate, you want to get out more, I'm telling you.
14:05Oh!
14:06Oh!
14:07Night, Ant?
14:08Is that for an alright night?
14:10Something happened?
14:11He's just got a bit upset.
14:12He'll be alright a minute.
14:13Sure.
14:14I thought I knew where I...
14:16Where I...
14:17I...
14:18I couldn't...
14:19Emily.
14:20Do you know who I am?
14:21My name's Julie.
14:22I'm your wife.
14:23It's okay.
14:24It's okay.
14:25It's okay if you don't remember.
14:26You don't have to remember things all the time.
14:31Sometimes...
14:32Sometimes...
14:33Sometimes it's okay just to feel.
14:34I love you.
14:35I love you.
14:36You're safe with me.
14:37Can you feel that?
14:38Can you feel that?
14:39I'm your wife.
14:40I'm your wife.
14:41It's okay.
14:42It's okay if you don't remember.
14:45You don't have to remember things all the time.
14:48Sometimes...
14:49Sometimes it's okay just to feel.
14:53I love you.
14:58You're safe with me.
15:02Can you feel that?
15:11She's good with him?
15:12He had a meltdown yesterday.
15:13He couldn't see it with dust.
15:14Alright.
15:15Well she's learning well then.
15:17I think he just had a bit of a fright.
15:21Would you help him back in the house?
15:24Well, 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, isn't it?
15:46You made short work of that.
15:47You fancy another?
15:48Yeah, why not?
15:49Stace can pay.
15:50She can bath in £20 notes if she wants to.
15:54A round of shots, Linda, please.
15:56A round of shots, please, please.
15:58You're OK.
15:59Oh, there is no justice in this world.
16:01You're probably going to blow it all on leopard print.
16:03Just 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.
16:15I was there when she won.
16:16Remember to give us a name check when the press come knocking.
16:19Ain't you supposed to be seeing some slimy estate agent?
16:22Oh, I doubt your little ill shack is worth enough to buy this place.
16:26Here, maybe Stace can kick in a few quid to help you out.
16:29If I get helping him out, I'll just buy the bit myself.
16:32That's the deposit, isn't it?
16:34You'll run the bar, won't you?
16:35Yeah, too, right.
16:36I've got some unfinished business with this place.
16:39Hey, 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.
16:48Fuck it, he looked mouthing off.
16:51Face like a rancid old turnip.
16:53He definitely bought it.
16:55I don't think we've been 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.
17:10Most of the time.
17:11Yeah, thanks for that.
17:14Sorry.
17:14Do you want a drink?
17:15Yeah, why not?
17:17Help yourself to whatever you want, all right?
17:19Take your name as well.
17:21All right.
17:22I'll see you shortly.
17:23I'll come over.
17:25There we go, girls.
17:27Oh, lovely, Nan.
17:31Yeah.
17:34You going to cross?
17:36Don't know yet.
17:38Buy me one of those when I think about it.
17:41I want to.
17:56I'm sure.
18:02No.
18:02No.
18:11He said that...
18:14Yeah, I'm sure.
18:17I heard.
18:23Nigel doesn't have many people left in his life these days.
18:27Dot's gone and Claire's not around anymore and Josh, he's got his own stuff happening.
18:33It's me and you.
18:36We're basically it.
18:40It can't be a battle between us, Phil.
18:42It's not fair on him.
18:43The last thing I want to do is upset him.
18:46Oh, well, there we go then.
18:50We've got that much in common, at least.
18:55He wouldn't have made that recording if 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.
19:16Well, he can still wash and dress himself.
19:19But sometimes he needs to remind him.
19:21And if he cooks, he burns himself, sir.
19:25So don't let him.
19:28I don't know if he's been able to say this for a while, Phil, but...
19:33You really have been a good friend to him.
19:38I know you like Harry.
19:40I 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 comfy, 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.
19:59He's got me, I'm his mate.
20:01And I like having him around.
20:09Mmm.
20:10Deb says she can cover the store for the afternoon.
20:13Which means I can cut loose for once.
20:19But...
20:22Mmm.
20:23You know you're the only lit one.
20:24The whole family.
20:25Yeah, I know.
20:26I mean, there's not much competition.
20:28But, still.
20:30Right, so let me guess.
20:30Life with Lauren and Peter's making you want to...
20:33Lawyer on IZL?
20:35I mean, I love her and everything.
20:36But, yeah.
20:38You know she's trying to make me work with Peter.
20:39Like I want to waste the rest of my life on some dead-end mark with the rest of the losers.
20:45Oh, losers like me, you mean?
20:47No, I don't mean that.
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, daddy issues...
20:59Or, 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?
21:15If you win, 20 quid.
21:21If I win, you have to give this market thing a go, just for a day.
21:34Easy, money.
21:44Look, I haven't got long. I promised Lex we'd get a takeaway.
21:47Yeah, no, sorry, I'm not meaning to drag you away. I just wanted to check that you were all right with me after earlier.
21:53Look, I weren't trying to make you jealous. You 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. And that's what we have to be.
22:09Well, I tried talking to him, but I just ended up nagging him. And I don't know why I did that, because, well, I've been a teenager and I know that don't work.
22:26Mm. Listen, 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?
22:51Are you mad? Jimmy is asleep and Lou is doing his homework.
22:57Not in the house of fun, is it?
22:59No.
23:00What is happening?
23:01Pete, what time do you want me tomorrow, then?
23:04Oh, so you're going to do it?
23:07Cash in hand, checking out fitters all day. What's not to love?
23:12All right. Well, we start at 6, yeah? 6am.
23:16Oh, okay.
23:21What 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, you're sitting down.
23:30What?
23:31Oh.
23:40I only got him to agree to work for one day, so after that, it's up to you.
23:49Mm.
23:50He's got potential, you know.
23:51Yeah, so he says.
23:53Let'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.
24:05And take care of him, all right?
24:06Of course. Thanks, Jay.
24:08I'm so sorry you're going through all of this.
24:10But you should be really proud of how you've handled it all.
24:13Bye then.
24:15Bye.
24:20Where's Phil?
24:29Phil, it's me.
24:30The cab's here.
24:39Everyone's out there saying goodbye.
24:44He's asking for you, Phil.
24:46Look, I know this isn't what you wanted.
24:56Right, but you've got to put yourself first.
24:59Nigel's only going to get worse.
25:02And people like us have to be so careful.
25:05You 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.
25:26And 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 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.
25:59But I...
26:00I 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.
26:13You can say you love him.
26:17You could remind him that he saved your life.
26:22And that he's been saving your life every day since, just by being here.
26:29You could tell him he's the best friend you ever had.
26:33Tell him now, Phil.
26:36While you still got the chance.
26:40Please.
26:41I think we should just go.
26:48What?
26:49Sometimes it's easy on everyone just to slip out.
26:53Yeah.
26:55I think Phil might prefer it that way.
26:57Hey, hey, hey.
26:59It's all right.
27:02You've got me.
27:04Come on.
27:05Just focus on me.
27:06Yeah.
27:07Come on.
27:09Come on.
27:10Let's get going.
27:11You don't want to miss that train, do we?
27:45Stop.
