00:00MUSIC
00:16Nigel, tell me what you're bothering doing under there.
00:18No-one's gonna see it.
00:19Inviting a vintage motor, Ian, it's all about the details.
00:23Yes, exactly.
00:25It's like me with my bits on the stool, you know?
00:27I polish them up and in the end they look brand new.
00:29But it's an antique stool.
00:30You don't want everything looking brand new, do you?
00:34That's a very good point, Jim.
00:35You know what?
00:36I've never understood the attraction of an old banger.
00:38I mean, give me the latest model every time.
00:41That's what Cindy said, isn't it?
00:44Morning.
00:45Everything's ready at the car lot.
00:47Nigel, are you really sure you want to sell this?
00:49I mean, it is a lovely mother.
00:50Yeah.
00:51Flam of the engine.
00:53Smell of petrol.
00:54Nothing like it.
00:56I'd give anything to be able to drive off in her again.
01:01But, well, my days on the open road are well behind me now.
01:05And the proceeds from this are gonna take me and my little missus off to India.
01:11Well, Jim, can I have a quick word?
01:18Brace yourselves.
01:20It's Walford's sexiest law-abiding citizen.
01:24He's getting his hag off today.
01:27Yeah.
01:28That's what we need.
01:29Another hooligan out on the street.
01:30Nice break.
01:31Everyone in jail is a second charge.
01:32Nige!
01:33Nige!
01:34What are you doing?
01:35Give us a...
01:36Don't worry.
01:37You can buff it up.
01:39No.
01:40Sorry.
01:41I'll be glad when the flaming thing's sold.
01:44But I can't trust Nigel not to go off in it.
01:47I've had to have the keys, and I have no idea where I've put the spare.
01:51Sorry.
01:52Sorry.
01:53I'll put me going on.
01:55Oh, what's this?
01:56The hens are laying like Millio, so it's by way of an apology.
02:00I...
02:01I still feel really bad about what Nigel said to Lily.
02:03Oh, she's forgotten it already.
02:05But thank you.
02:06And thank you for tutoring her, especially when you've got all this going on.
02:10Oh, it's a pleasure.
02:11Bye.
02:13Is everything all right?
02:15Er, it's my younger brother, Cobbina.
02:17Kojo calls every Monday at 8am.
02:20Regular as clockwork, but he hasn't heard from him for a week,
02:23and he can't reach him on the phone.
02:25Well, didn't you say you've gone away with Harry?
02:27I mean, maybe he's obviously not with Lancelot.
02:29Yeah, but I can't get in touch with Harry either.
02:31Anyways, Kojo, and er, he's always on time.
02:34Oh, it's much harder looking after adults than children.
02:37I mean, they make their own decisions.
02:39Like Stacey, in Brazil, living her life.
02:43No, you're right, Jean.
02:44Yeah.
02:45But the only problem is, unless I can actually speak to Kojo,
02:48how can I be sure he's safe?
02:50I'm not.
02:51All right, we'll talk a bit later.
02:52Cheers.
02:53Cheers.
02:54Cheers.
02:55Cheers.
02:56Cheers.
02:57Come back, man.
02:58Cheers.
02:59Cheers.
03:00Cheers.
03:01Come back.
03:02Come back.
03:03Yeah.
03:04Well, then.
03:05Come back.
03:06Cheers.
03:07Get some.
03:08Cheers.
03:09I can see a little bit of a touch again.
03:26Come on.
03:27Oh my god.
03:32Thank you, darling.
03:33Thank you, darling.
03:34Thank you, darling.
03:35This is funny.
03:36Oi, I love this tune.
03:37You do.
03:38Lex, was there something wrong with the skin care I've got you?
03:50Brought me out in hives.
03:51Do you want some ice for that, Bo?
03:56Oh, God.
03:57Shall we come around, all right?
03:58Yeah.
03:59Trust me.
04:00Your job hunting today?
04:01Er, let's see.
04:02When I was drunk, I sent an email to my ex-employer's entire client list asking them to invest
04:08in my new firm.
04:09So, no.
04:10Nobody is going to touch me with a barge pole.
04:12Well, I will.
04:14Listen, you're a carter.
04:16If there's one thing I know about the carters, they always come back bigger, better and stronger
04:21than ever.
04:22Thanks.
04:28Sweet taste of freedom.
04:30The sun on my face.
04:31The wind.
04:32The sun on my face.
04:33The wind.
04:34In my ankle hair.
04:35Might take Jazz out later.
04:37Could you get me Pete's ID?
04:39Pretty please.
04:40Oh, yeah, of course.
04:41I'm going to ask Peter if my underage brother, who literally just got his tag off, can borrow
04:48his ID so we can go get smashed with his girlfriend.
04:49Thanks, sis.
04:50And she's not my girlfriend.
04:51It's a situationship.
04:52I don't want to know.
04:53Sit.
04:54Yep.
04:55It's from Dad.
04:56He got Louis a voucher and all.
04:57Well, never sent me a Christmas or birthday present since my voice broke, so yeah.
04:58Job on, Granddad.
04:59We can talk about it.
05:00At least Louis and Jimmy have the best uncle in the world.
05:01They need one decent male role model.
05:02Uh, what about Peter?
05:21Who?
05:23One decent male role model.
05:25What about Peter?
05:27Ah, who?
05:28The himbo.
05:39What's happened?
05:40I just spoke to Mr Morden.
05:42He said he'd go back to school tomorrow.
05:43That's good news, isn't it?
05:44You can put all that Joel stuff behind you, Neil.
05:47I should see what they're saying online about me.
05:49Mum, please, I can't go back.
05:50Tommy, it's going to be hard.
05:51But come on, you're as tough as Gene's sausage surprise, aren't you?
05:55Oh, don't wish Gene's cooking on him.
05:57Things are bad enough.
05:59I took a delivery in, but they need one of you two to sign it.
06:01No, I'll do it.
06:04What are you playing, T?
06:05Wrestling game.
06:07I bet I can beat you.
06:11All right, then, you're on.
06:14The private investigator messaged
06:16she needs the rest of the deposit,
06:17but Sharon's on a holiday.
06:18Vicky's with us, so best leave it till they get back, yeah?
06:22Well, if you could lend me the money, then...
06:23Sorry I'm late.
06:25Oh.
06:26It's all right, Gene.
06:27Morning, Kat.
06:28Morning, Tommy.
06:30Oh, I saw Ian earlier.
06:32Did you know that he's taken in Ross?
06:35Clapsed on the street, apparently.
06:36Drunk as a skunk.
06:37I mean, Ross, that is not Ian.
06:38Probably feeling guilty.
06:40Tommy.
06:41Tommy.
06:42It's a gob as wide as a Dartford tunnel.
06:46Takes one to know one.
06:49And...
06:50Yeah, I am going to have to take a little bit off the agreed price.
06:53Just what with the damage from earlier.
06:57It was an accident.
06:58I know.
06:59I'm sorry.
07:00Do you have the spare key as well?
07:08Oh, I can't remember the bit.
07:11Oh.
07:19Do you need any help with those?
07:20I can't read, thank you.
07:22And I wasn't...
07:29Gina.
07:32Hmm?
07:33Kojo missed his call with Covenant this morning.
07:36Well, that ain't like it.
07:38No.
07:38So I'm just going to go down the flat.
07:40Yeah, but he ain't there, Dad.
07:42Well.
07:43I've got to check anyway.
07:44Okay.
07:44What's the night?
07:45I've been meaning to catch you, ma'am.
07:47Yeah.
07:49Yeah, um...
07:50I smiled to Harry last night.
07:51Him and Kojo are having a dope time in Cardiff, you know?
07:54Really?
07:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:56But, um...
07:56Kojo's phone broke.
07:58Um, so...
08:00You know, the man can only text or something.
08:01But, um, don't worry.
08:03Harry's going to take a shot.
08:04Get it fixed.
08:05But he said sorry that he missed a call with Rob Cobb...
08:08Cobbinar.
08:09Cobbinar.
08:10Yeah, yeah.
08:11Yeah, that's the man.
08:12Yeah, but don't worry.
08:13He's going to call back when he gets that fixed.
08:16Can you call Harry?
08:18Because you've coached Harry, you put him on, can't you?
08:19Uh, Harry's, um...
08:22He's airing me, so...
08:24Maybe...
08:25Maybe you could call him.
08:28Huh?
08:38Yeah.
08:39Thing is, I'm pretty sure they did go out last night with a couple girls.
08:43You know, Kojo wasn't really feeling it, not as bad, but...
08:46You know, Harry probably got carried away.
08:49You know, I had a bit of a mad one, still.
08:53I'll lie, I'll catch you later.
08:55Gina.
08:56Sorry, uh...
08:57Sorry, did I upset her?
09:01Pretty spout.
09:02Listen, go after her, huh?
09:07She needs you.
09:09I'm sure Kojo will call.
09:10Yeah.
09:11But if you don't, I'll come look in.
09:23I saw Julia earlier.
09:26She told me you'd sold the car.
09:28Yeah.
09:29Morris Minor.
09:31Same as Mrs. C had.
09:33Wasn't a Ferrari.
09:34Can barely do 50 miles an hour going downhill, but...
09:38It was mine.
09:41It's hard to give up the things you love.
09:44Didn't even get to do a last drive in her.
09:47Gosh.
09:49Do you think it would help to focus on what is coming up next?
09:52Your big trip?
09:57Dad says...
09:59Cars and houses, leave them as you'd want to find them.
10:03So, I was cleaning her this morning.
10:06I was even scrubbing underneath, you know, the front...
10:10with a white brush, and I got that mixed up with a buffing pad
10:14and scratched the paintbrush.
10:17They all make mistakes, Nigel.
10:19It's not a mistake, though, is it?
10:22It's me losing my marbles.
10:28Julie has her heart set on going to India.
10:32Look.
10:34One thing I have observed with Julie
10:36is that she loves you.
10:40You are her priority.
10:41You don't know what you're talking about.
10:44Well, yeah, I don't know, do I?
10:46Darling, please solve the debate.
10:47Help.
10:47It's either Voluptuous Violet or Raging Red.
10:53Curtains for my boutique hotel.
10:54Oh.
10:55Well, I've always seen you as more of a Raging Reddy lad.
10:58Told you.
11:00Oh, is that your phantom texter, then?
11:02Who?
11:04Timothy.
11:05We were in the Musical Theatre Appreciation Society at Yugi.
11:09Of course you weren't.
11:10Don't see it's your jazz hands.
11:11Mm-hmm.
11:12You two done.
11:14He was a massive fan of Phantom of the Opera.
11:16He went to see it 50 times.
11:18In costume.
11:19Mm-hmm.
11:20I know.
11:20Anyway, he's now an accountant or something,
11:22and his firm is one of my boss's clients,
11:24and he's got my email,
11:26and he's interested in investing,
11:28and he wants to meet up tonight.
11:30That's amazing.
11:31What time are you meeting him?
11:33Well, I don't know.
11:33I don't want to encourage him.
11:34What have you got to lose?
11:36I mean, if he does try and whisk you off to Opera de Paris,
11:39I will see him off.
11:41I'm not called Raging Red for nothing.
11:45No, Julian phoned and said he can't come in
11:47because his kid's got a temperature, all right?
11:49So it means I've got a closer check-in now.
11:51I said to him, right, because I'm a reasonable boss, right,
11:53just bring the kid in with you, OK?
11:55Stick her in the corner, give her some crayons,
11:57carton of juice, fine.
11:58Oh, that's beautiful, isn't it?
12:00You're all hot, you know.
12:02Yeah, you know what I mean?
12:03Well, listen, I'm very grateful to both of you.
12:07I mean, putting a roof over me, Ed,
12:09right in the middle of the woods.
12:10No, mate, we've all been there, so it ain't easy.
12:13I'll appreciate you.
12:15And I promise to be out of your ear before Kathy comes home.
12:17Well, that might be a while,
12:18because she has decided to stay up north for a bit
12:20so she can spend some time with Ben.
12:21Well, look, don't worry about me, Mum.
12:23Stay as long as you need, all right?
12:25Same again, and it's on me.
12:27No, no, no, these ones were on me, fellas.
12:29You know that saying.
12:30Never judge another man
12:31till you've walked a mile in his shoes.
12:32Just because you're a mile away
12:34and you've still got your shoes.
12:35That's the one!
12:37No.
12:39Yeah, um, Tommy, is he all right?
12:42Yeah, he's good. He's good, mate.
12:43You know, he's a tough kid.
12:45He's about as tough as Candy Floss.
12:47He's terrified of walking into them school gates
12:49because he has to face the consequences
12:52of what Joel did
12:53while you drink yourself into oblivion.
12:58Ross, take no notice, mate.
13:01She's in a certain way of my nurse's thinking.
13:02Dad, mate, listen.
13:04Listen, all you did
13:05was try and do right by your son.
13:07Yeah, which was the same any of us would do.
13:09There's no need for you to,
13:11you know, like hideaway.
13:15Get them drinks.
13:15It says in here
13:36they used over a thousand elephants
13:38to build the Taj Mahal.
13:40It's amazing, isn't it?
13:41How do you go, Lauren?
13:45Yeah, sold the car.
13:50OK, right, I'll check the account,
13:51make sure the money's got it.
13:53I've already started looking at flights.
13:55I can't go in.
14:09Where's Kojo?
14:11You're going to ask him yourself.
14:14There's lanky excuse for a burrow
14:16who's been sniffing around,
14:18getting too close.
14:19So,
14:22you're going to call Kojo,
14:25have a little chat,
14:27then you're going to tell him
14:28to call George
14:29and tell him that he's all right.
14:32Why would I do that?
14:34For some reason,
14:35you're the only one you trust.
14:38Tell you what,
14:40play nice,
14:41and I'll give you some of these.
14:41What have you got?
14:46We've got, uh,
14:47sandwiches,
14:50we've got crisps,
14:52chocolate,
14:52and I know you ain't eating all weekend,
14:54so I bet you must be starving, right?
14:57Food first.
14:59If George walks in here,
15:00it's all over.
15:02He know that.
15:04So food,
15:05then I make the call.
15:08Play nice.
15:09It's the magic word.
15:25It's the magic word, bro.
15:26Come on.
15:28Please.
15:32Thanks.
15:37Routine,
15:37familiarity.
15:39It's meant to keep me
15:40in a straight line,
15:41but, uh,
15:43I can't even rely on that anymore.
15:46Yeah, but I...
15:46I ain't got to be with you.
15:49I mean,
15:50we've done all right
15:50with Phil being away,
15:51haven't we?
15:52Been like old times.
15:54No,
15:54it's not like old times.
15:57When we went on holidays,
15:58it was fun.
16:00An adventure.
16:01And we can still have an adventure.
16:03I can't even carry you
16:06over the threshold
16:07of the hotel room
16:08like I always used to.
16:10Well, maybe I could carry you
16:11over the threshold instead.
16:12You taking the mick?
16:14Of course I'm not, Nigel.
16:15Don't touch me.
16:17Nigel, what?
16:18You treat me like a child.
16:20You don't respect me.
16:23I'm a grown man.
16:26Nigel, I don't...
16:27Leave me alone.
16:27I don't treat you like a child.
16:48Girl trouble?
16:49Boy trouble?
16:50Well, he's gone,
16:51so there's no trouble.
16:52Thanks.
16:53Why?
16:53Where's he at?
16:56Wales.
16:57A couple of airheads, apparently.
17:00Oh, waste man.
17:01Yeah, forget him.
17:06You think I'd kind of be used
17:07to people vanishing on me
17:08by now, wouldn't you?
17:09Oh, yeah.
17:10You said something about
17:11your mum disappearing before, right?
17:13The greatest vanishing act
17:14of all time.
17:15She is.
17:16Cindy.
17:18Rose, whatever she's calling her son.
17:19Hang on.
17:20She's got two names.
17:25Yeah, you don't even know
17:26the other half of it, babe.
17:32Okay.
17:35Spill.
17:36Spill.
17:36What do you think?
17:45I'll have to go.
17:54Yeah.
17:55I'll have to go.
17:55I'll have to go.
17:56Bye.
17:56Bye-bye.
17:56Bye-bye.
17:57Bye-bye.
18:01I don't know.
18:31Tommy, when you get this message, can you call us back, mate?
18:43Honestly, we don't mind you going out. We just want to know that you're safe, yeah?
18:46And, er, I love you.
18:50Do you want me to go and look for him?
18:51No, no, we've got to trust him. He's a good kid.
18:55He's got to deal with this his own way.
18:56Thanks, Mum, aren't we?
18:58So, thank you.
18:59We need to talk about the P.I.
19:01Yeah.
19:02Oh, yeah, of course.
19:12Oh, there's nothing but trouble in that direction.
19:14I wasn't...
19:15She destroys families.
19:17That's why Stacey's not here.
19:19Jean, Stacey made a choice. She's a grown-up. Cut the cold.
19:24You forced my daughter out of her home. I miss her.
19:27But that's what happens when you love a child. Not that you would know anything about that.
19:31What's that supposed to mean?
19:32I think you know exactly what it means.
19:33You are asking for a slap!
19:34What, you two playing? Take it upstairs.
19:36Upstairs. Upstairs, please.
19:48I had no idea my boss was so interesting.
19:51Interesting or psycho, you could say.
19:54So, where did she go after witness protection?
19:57All right, lovely ladies.
20:00Who died on here?
20:01Uh, we was just talking, so...
20:03What were you talking about?
20:04Uh, Gina's mum. She's actually really interesting.
20:06Mmm, parental trauma. Yawn, boring.
20:09You don't have to stay. I'll come find you after my shift.
20:12This is a gay bar, Jasmine.
20:14Not community outreach for the parental challenge.
20:17Yeah?
20:17There's a line that's placed up.
20:20Watch and learn.
20:22Now, the secret to this...
20:23Ooh!
20:25Wow.
20:47I ain't having this with family, all right?
21:03You've got to let this go, both of you.

21:20I'm sorry.
21:22Well, I'm not sorry.
21:25Actually, I am.
21:27I'm sorry you ever came back.

21:32Cos you've got nothing else in your life.

21:46One of these days,
21:49someone's gonna teach her a lesson.
22:04Get off the road!

22:44Coach?
22:45Harry.
22:47Is that you?
22:48You alright?
22:49I don't know where I am.
22:52Harry, I'm scared.
22:54Nah, you're alright, mate.
22:57You're gonna be fine.
22:59Listen, I need you to do something for me, okay?
23:02But it's really important, so you've got to listen carefully.
23:07Quiet, mate.
23:08He's really worried about you.
23:10So, I need you to do something.
23:13Run.
23:14Run, Coach.

23:24I need you to do something.
23:25I need you to do something.
23:26Yeah.
23:27I need you to do something for me.
23:30I need you to do something for me.
23:31OK, alright.
23:32Bear with.
23:33So what happened after France?
23:34Yes.
23:35Let's see that.
23:36Mmm.
23:37Mmm.
23:38No.
23:39No.
23:40No.
23:41Okay, all right.
23:42Bear with.
23:43Okay, so what happened after France?
23:45Uh-huh.
23:46What happened after France?
23:47Oh, er, she was coming back to Warford.
23:50Oh.
23:51Oh, yeah.
23:52Oscar!
23:53Will you just stop it?
23:54What?
23:55Just having a laugh.
23:56What's wrong with you?
23:57No, what's wrong with you?
23:58Nothing!
23:59What, so you're being an idiot for no reason then, yeah?
24:02Fine.
24:03That's what you really think of me.
24:05Oscar.
24:06Oscar.
24:07Oscar!
24:08Oscar!
24:13Oh, no, he'll get over it.
24:15What?
24:16Yeah.
24:17Yeah, that's fine.
24:18It's not even that deep.
24:19I tell you what.
24:20If it stays like this, should we just close up early?
24:23Have a girls' night before?
24:24Oh, come on!
24:25I won't tell my mum if you don't.
24:27Yeah?
24:28Okay.
24:29Yeah.
24:30Nice.
24:31No, he's even got the same hair as Jo.
24:35I swear about what happened, all right?
24:37Jo was a loser.
24:38Is it true you hid him after he hurt Vicky?
24:40I didn't know he hurt her.
24:41And then when I found out, I told the police.
24:43Yeah, but you knew what he did to Ivani and Amy.
24:45You didn't stop him.
24:46You're just like...
24:47Oh, right.
24:48Okay.
24:49It's not worth it.
24:50Come on.
24:51Scratch Charlie.
24:52That everyone at school hates you.
24:57Maybe you shouldn't come back.
25:19Nigel.
25:20Oh, hi.
25:21Freddie made a cape with the eggs that you gave us.
25:22Oh.
25:23I thought you might like some.
25:24Oh.
25:25Oh, it's a bit...
25:26It's a bit well done.
25:27No, you don't have to.
25:28Nope.
25:29Not like Jane.
25:31Sorry, I'm...
25:32I'm in a bit of a bad mood.
25:33I had a row with Zoe.
25:34Must put something in the air.
25:35Hmm.
25:36Me and Nigel have just had a...
25:37a blow up.
25:38He said I'd treat him like a child.
25:39And he stormed off.
25:40You thought about phoning him.
25:41Hmm.
25:42I was thinking about, um...
25:43what you said to George about adults making their own decisions.
25:45And maybe...
25:46Nigel's right, maybe I've been treating him like a child.
25:47I'd been treating him like a child.
25:48I'm in a bit of a bad mood.
25:49I had a row with Zoe.
25:50Hmm.
25:51Must put something in the air.
25:52Hmm.
25:53Me and Nigel have just had a...
25:54a blow up.
25:55He said I'd treat him like a child.
25:57And he stormed off.
25:59You thought about phoning him?
26:02Hmm.
26:03I was thinking about, um...
26:05what you said to George about adults making their own decisions.
26:10And...
26:12maybe...
26:13Nigel's right, maybe.
26:14I'd been treating him like a child.
26:17Anyway, I thought I'd...
26:19give him time to cool off, you know.
26:21Give him some space.
26:22Yeah.
26:23Hmm.
26:24Space is good.
26:26Only the last time Nigel went off after a row,
26:29he ended up in hospital.
26:33Yeah.
26:34Oh, he's probably in the cafe right now,
26:36wondering when he can come back and apologise.
26:40One of you needs to make the first move.
26:45Ring him.
26:46Get him back home where he belongs.
27:08What about the club at the container park?
27:09Huh.
27:10The one with the fit bounces, yeah?
27:11What are you talking about?
27:12What are you talking about?
27:13What's that?
27:14What?
27:15No!
27:16No!
27:17No!
27:18No!
27:19No!
27:20No!
27:21No!
27:22No!
27:23No!
27:24No!
27:25No!
27:26No!
27:27No!
27:28No!
27:29No!
27:30No!
27:31No!
27:33No!
27:34No!

27:37No!
27:39Yeah!
27:41Yeah!
27:42No!
