00:16Nige, tell me what you're bothering doing under there.
00:18No-one's gonna see it.
00:20Inviting a vintage motor, Ian.
00:22It's all about the details. Yes, 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, I'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. Everything's ready at the car lot.
00:46No, are you really sure you want to sell this?
00:48I mean, it is a lovely mother.
00:50Yeah.
00:51Flam of the engine.
00:53Smell of petrol. Nothing like it.
00:56I'd give anything to be able to drive off in her again, but...
01:01Well, 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
01:09off to India.
01:13Jean, can I have a quick word?
01:15Brace yourselves.
01:20It's Walford's sexiest law-abiding citizen.
01:24He's getting his hag off today.
01:27Yeah, that's what we need. Another hooligan out on the street.
01:30Nice break.
01:31Everyone in jail is a second charge.
01:33Night! Night, what are you doing? Give us a...
01:35Don't worry.
01:37You can pass it out.
01:40Yeah.
01:41Sorry.
01:42I'd be glad when the flaming thing's sold.
01:44But I can't trust Nigel not to go off in it.
01:46I've had to hide the keys, and I have no idea where I've put the spare.
01:51Sorry. Sorry.
01:53Half of 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?
02:14Er, 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.
02:42No, 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?
02:50Yeah.
02:51All right, we'll talk a bit later.
02:53Cheers.
02:54Cheers.
02:55Cheers.
02:56Cheers.
02:57Cheers.
02:58Cheers.
02:59Cheers.
03:00We're back, man.
03:01We're back.
03:02Yeah, man.
03:03Come on, man.
03:04Come on, cus.
03:05Cheers.
03:06Cheers.
03:07Cheers.
03:08Cheers.
03:09Cheers.
03:10Cheers.
03:11Yeah.
03:12Let's do it.
03:13Yeah.
03:14This again.
03:15Yeah.
03:16Come up.
03:18Oh, my God.
03:34Bye.
03:36Bye.
03:39I love this tune! You do!
03:46Lex, was there something wrong with the skincare about you?
03:50Brought me out in hives.
03:55Do you want some ice for that, though?
03:57Shall we come around, all right? Trust me.
04:00Your job hunting today?
04:02Let's see. When I was drunk,
04:04I sent an email to my ex-employer's entire client list
04:07and sent them to invest in my new firm.
04:09So, no, nobody is going to touch me with a barge pile.
04:12Well, I will.
04:14Listen, you're a carter.
04:16If there's one thing I know about the carters,
04:18it's that they always come back bigger, better,
04:20and stronger than ever.
04:22Thanks.
04:28Sweet taste of freedom.
04:30The sun on my face, the wind in my ankle hair.
04:35I might take Jazz out later.
04:38Could you get me Pete's ID, pretty please?
04:40Oh, yeah, of course.
04:41I'm going to ask Peter if my underage brother,
04:44who literally just got his tag off,
04:46can borrow his ID so he can go get smashed with his girlfriend.
04:48Thanks, Sis.
04:49And she's not my girlfriend.
04:51It's a situation, shit.
04:52I don't want to know.
04:54That's it.
04:55Yep.
04:56It's from Dad.
04:57He got Louis a voucher and all.
04:58Well, never sent me a Christmas or birthday present
04:59since my voice broke, so, yeah.
05:16Job on, Grandad.
05:18We can talk about it.
05:20At least Louie and Jimmy have the best uncle in the world.
05:22They need one decent male role model.
05:25Er, what about Peter?
05:27Er, who? The himbo.
05:39What's happened?
05:41I just spoke to Mr Morden. He said he'd go back to school tomorrow.
05:44That's good news, isn't it? You can put all that Joel stuff behind you, Neil.
05:47Oh, you should see what they're saying online about me.
05:49Mum, please, I can't go back.
05:51Tommy, it's gonna be hard.
05:52But come on, you're as tough as Gene's sausage surprise, ain't ya?
05:55Oh, don't wish Gene's cooking on him. Things are bad enough.
05:59I took a delivery in, but they need one of you two to sign it.
06:02No, don't do it.
06:04What are you playing, T?
06:06Wrestling game.
06:08I bet I can beat ya.
06:11Alright then, you're on.
06:14The private investigator messaged.
06:16She needs the rest of the deposit.
06:18But Sharon's on a holiday.
06:20Vicky's with us, so best leave it till they get back, yeah?
06:22Well, if you could lend me the money, then.
06:24Sorry I'm late.
06:26Oh.
06:27It's alright, Gene.
06:28Morning, Kat.
06:29Morning, Tommy.
06:30Oh, I saw Ian earlier.
06:33Did 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.
06:45Takes one to know one.
06:48Um...
06:50Yeah, I am gonna have to take a little bit off the agreed price.
06:53Just what with the damage from earlier.
06:56It was an accident.
06:58I know.
06:59I'm sorry.
07:05Do you have the spare key as well?
07:07Uh...
07:08I can't remember the beaten.
07:10Oh.
07:19Do you need any help with those?
07:20I can't read, thank you.
07:22I wasn't...
07:23Gina.
07:24Hmm?
07:25Cojo missed his call with Coburn here this morning.
07:26Well, that ain't like it.
07:27No.
07:28So, I'm just gonna go down the flat.
07:29Yeah, but he ain't there, Dad.
07:30Well...
07:31I've got to check anyway.
07:32Okay.
07:33What's the name?
07:34I've been meaning to catch you, ma'am.
07:35Yeah.
07:36Oh.
07:37Yeah, um...
07:38I swore to Harry last night.
07:39Him and Cojo are in there.
07:40Yeah.
07:41Yeah, but he ain't there, Dad.
07:42Well...
07:43I've got to check anyway.
07:44Okay.
07:45What's the name?
07:46I've been meaning to catch you, ma'am.
07:47Yeah.
07:48Oh.
07:49Yeah, um...
07:50I swore to Harry last night.
07:51Him and Cojo are having a dope time in Cardiff, you know.
07:54Really?
07:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:56But, um...
07:57Cojo's phone broke.
07:58Um...
07:59So...
08:00No.
08:01The man can only text us at him.
08:02But, um...
08:03Don't worry.
08:04He's gonna take a shot.
08:05Get it fixed.
08:06But he said sorry that he missed a call with, um...
08:08Cob...
08:09Cobbinar.
08:10Cobbinar.
08:11Yeah, yeah.
08:12Yeah, that's the man.
08:13Yeah, but don't worry.
08:14He's gonna call back when he gets that fixed.
08:16You call Harry?
08:18Because you've Cojo, you put him on, can't he?
08:20Uh, Harry's, um...
08:22He's airing me, so...
08:24Maybe...
08:25Maybe you could call him.
08:27Okay.
08:29Okay.
08:30Yeah.
08:31Thing is, I'm pretty sure they did go out last night with a couple girls.
08:44You know, Cojo wasn't really feeling it, not as bad, but...
08:47You know Harry, probably got carried away.
08:49You know, I had a bit of a mad one still.
08:51I'll lay out.
08:52I'll catch you later.
08:53Gina.
08:54Sorry, er...
08:55Sorry that I upset her.
08:56Come on, come on.
08:57Come on, come on with me.
08:58Pretty spout.
08:59Listen, go after her, eh?
09:00She needs you.
09:01I'm sure Cojo will call.
09:02Yeah.
09:03But if you don't, I'll come looking.
09:05I saw Julie earlier.
09:06She told me you'd swing the car.
09:07Yeah.
09:08Morris Minor.
09:09Same as Mrs. Seat.
09:10Wasn't the Ferrari.
09:11Can barely do 50 miles an hour going down the hill, but...
09:13it was mine.
09:14Me, I was doing the phone.
09:15This was all good.
09:16You're on my mind, I'm looking.
09:17Do you want to go get your phone on the phone?
09:18All right.
09:19Do you want to go get your phone on the phone?
09:20Right.
09:21Can you let your phone call call?
09:22Yeah.
09:23I can go get your phone call.
09:24You're on me.
09:26I saw Julie earlier.
09:27She told me you'd swing the car.
09:28Yeah.
09:29Morris Minor.
09:31Same as Mrs. Seat.
09:33Wasn't the Ferrari.
09:34I can barely do 50 miles an hour going downhill, but...
09:38It was mine.
09:41It's hard to give up the things you love.
09:43Didn'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 with a white brush.
10:12And I got that mixed up with a buffing pad and 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. I'm going to India.
10:30Doug, one thing I have observed with Julie is that she loves you.
10:40You are her priority.
10:43You 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.
10:52Curtains for my boutique hotel.
10:54Oh.
10:55Well, I've always seen you as more of a Raging Reddy lad.
10:58Told you.
10:58Oh, is that your phantom texter, then?
11:02Who?
11:04Timothy.
11:05We were in the Musical Theatre Appreciation Society at UGIS.
11:09Of course you were.
11:10Don't see you jazz hands.
11:11You 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 to my...
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.
11:41Not called Raging Red for nothing.
11:45No, Julian phoned and said he can't come in
11:47because his kid's got a temperature.
11:48All right?
11:49So it means I've got a closer chipmine now.
11:51I said to him, right, because I'm a reasonable boss,
11:53right, just bring the kid in with you, okay?
11:55Stick her in the corner, give her some crayons,
11:57carton of juice, fine.
11:58Ah, that's beautiful, isn't it?
12:00You're all hot.
12:01You know me.
12:05Well, listen, I'm very grateful to both of you.
12:07I mean, put the roof over me, Ed.
12:09Don't make me look good.
12:10No, mate.
12:11You know, we've all been there, son.
12:13And 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?
12:25And it's on me.
12:27No, no, no.
12:27These ones were on me, fellas.
12:29You know that saying.
12:30Never judge another man
12:31until you've walked a mile in his shoes
12:32because you're a mile away
12:34and you've still got your shoes.
12:35That's the one!
12:39Yeah, um,
12:40Tom, is he all right?
12:42Yeah, he's good.
12:43He's good, mate.
12:43He's a tough kid.
12:44He's a good guy.
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.
12:55Ross, take no notice, mate.
13:01Just in a certain way
13:01everyone else is 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
13:07any of us would do.
13:09There's no need for you
13:10to, you know, like hideaway.
13:15Get them drinks.
13:15Yeah.
13:25It says in here
13:36they used over a thousand elephants
13:38to build the Taj Mahal.
13:40It's amazing, isn't it?
13:44How'd you go, Lauren?
13:45Yeah, sold a car.
13:46Oh!
13:50Okay, right, I'll check the account
13:51and make sure the money's got it.
13:53I've already started looking at flights.
13:55I can't go.
14:08Where's Kojo?
14:11You're going to ask him yourself.
14:14His lanky excuse for a barrel
14:16has been sniffing around,
14:18getting too close.
14:20So,
14:21you're going to call Kojo?
14:24Have a little chat.
14:27Then you're going to tell him
14:28to call Kojo and tell him
14:30that 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 do you got?
14:46We've got, uh,
14:48sandwiches,
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.
15:06Play nice.
15:19It's the magic word.
15:25It's the magic word, bro.
15:26Come on.
15:28Please.
15:28Thanks.
15:37Routine,
15:38familiarity,
15:39it's meant to keep me
15:40in a straight line,
15:41but, uh,
15:43I can't even rely
15:44on that anymore.
15:46Yeah, but, um,
15:47I 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
16:02have an adventure.
16:05I 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.
16:18Nigel, what?
16:18You treat me like a child.
16:20You don't respect me.
16:22I'm a grown man.
16:26Nigel, I don't...
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, where's he at?
16:56Wales.
16:57A couple of
16:58airheads, apparently.
17:00Oh, waste man.
17:01Yeah, forget him.
17:06You think I'd kind of
17:07be used to people
17:08vanishing on me
17:08by now, wouldn't you?
17:09Oh, yeah.
17:10You said something
17:10about your mum
17:11disappearing before, right?
17:13The greatest vanishing
17:14act of all time.
17:15She is.
17:16Cindy.
17:18Rose,
17:18whatever she's calling her son.
17:19Hang on,
17:20she's got two names.
17:25Yeah,
17:26you don't even know
17:26the half of it, babe.
17:32Okay.
17:35Spill.
17:36girl.
17:52Oh.
17:53Oh, yeah.
17:57Oh, yeah.
17:59Oh, yeah.
17:59Oh, yeah.
18:00Let's go.
18:30Tommy, when you get this message, can you call us back, mate?
18:43Honestly, we don't mind you going out.
18:44We 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.
18:53He's a good kid.
18:55He's got to deal with this his own way.
18:56Thanks, mate, mate.
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.
19:22She's a grown-up.
19:23Cut the cord.
19:24You forced my daughter out of her home.
19:26I miss her, but that's what happens when you love a child.
19:29Not 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 are you just playing?
19:36Take it upstairs.
19:38Upstairs, please.
19:38I had no idea my boss was so interesting.
19:51Interesting or psycho, you could say.
19:54So, where did she go after witness protection?
19:56All right, lovely ladies.
20:00Who died on here?
20:01Uh, we were just talking, so...
20:03What were you talking about?
20:04Uh, Gina's mum.
20:05She's actually really interesting.
20:06Mmm, parental trauma.
20:08You're boring.
20:09Oh, you don't have to stay.
20:10I'll come find you after my shift.
20:12This is a gay bar, Jasmine.
20:14Not community outreach for the parental challenge.
20:17Yeah?
20:18But saliva's paced up.
20:20What you learned?
20:20Now, the secret to this...
20:23Ooh!
20:25Wow.
20:50I ain't having this with family, all right?
21:03You've got to let this go, both of you, please.
21:05Just apologise.
21:06Girls, can I really...
21:07Can we knock this on the head, yeah?
21:09Cos Kat don't need this.
21:10We're supposed to be supporting Tommy
21:11and you two are each other like, I don't know what,
21:13Big Daddy and Giant A-Stacks.
21:15You're right.
21:17I'm sorry, Kat.
21:20I'm sorry.
21:21Well, I'm not sorry.
21:25Actually, I am.
21:27Sorry you ever came back.
21:30You know why you're so obsessed with Stacey?
21:32Cos you've got nothing else in your life.
21:37Zoe, Zoe, please, just...
21:39You wanna watch that one?
21:41Mark my words.
21:43One day she'll cross the wrong person.
21:47One of these days...
21:48someone's gonna teach her a lesson.
22:04Get off the road!
22:05It's...
22:06It's flooded.
22:08I'm just gonna...
22:09You...
22:10I'm gonna put them on.
22:11Coaching.
22:12I'm gonna put them on.
22:16Yes.
22:35Yep.
22:37Put him on.
22:38Coaching.
22:44Coach?
22:45Harry.
22:46Is that you?
22:48You all right?
22:49I don't know where I am.
22:51Harry, I'm scared.
22:53No, you're all right, mate.
22:56You're going to be fine.
22:58Listen, I need you to do something for me, okay?
23:01But it's really important, so you've got to listen carefully.
23:06Go on, mate. He's really worried about you.
23:09So, I need you to do something.
23:12Go on.
23:14Wait.
23:15Take my heart for the road.
23:16Run.
23:17Run, Coach.
23:18Oh, come on.
23:20Run.
23:21Give me the phone.
23:22Yes.
23:23Let's see that.
23:24Mmm.
23:25Mmm.
23:26No.
23:27No.
23:28Okay, all right.
23:29Bear with.
23:30Okay, so what happened after France?
23:31Uh-huh.
23:32What happened after France?
23:33Oh, uh, she was coming back to Woford.
23:36Oh.
23:37Oh, yeah.
23:38Oh, Scott!
23:39Will you get back to Woford?
23:40Oh, yeah.
23:41Oh, Scott!
23:42Will you get back to Woford?
23:43Oh, yeah.
23:44Oh, yeah.
23:45Oh, yeah.
23:46Oh, yeah.
23:47Oh, yeah.
23:48Oh, yeah.
23:49Oh, yeah.
23:50Oh, yeah.
23:51Oscar!
23:52Will you just stop it?
23:53What?
23:54Just having a laugh.
23:55What's wrong with you?
23:56No.
23:57What's wrong with you?
23:58Nothing!
23:59What?
24:00So 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!
24:13Oh, no.
24:14He'll get over it.
24:15What?
24:16Yeah.
24:17Yeah, that's fine.
24:18He's not even that deep.
24:19If it stays like this, should we just close up early?
24:22Have a girls' night?
24:23Four.
24:24Oh, come on!
24:25I won't tell my mum if you don't.
24:27Yeah?
24:28Okay.
24:29Yeah.
24:33He's even got the same hair as Jo.
24:35Sorry 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.
24:41He hurt her.
24:42And 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.
24:55Everyone at school hates you.
24:57Maybe you shouldn't come back.
24:59Come on.
25:00Come on.
25:01Come on.
25:02Come on.
25:03Come on.
25:04Nigel.
25:05Come on.
25:08Come on.
25:17Oh, hi.
25:18Freddie made a cape with the eggs that you gave us.
25:20Oh.
25:21Thought you might like some.
25:22Ooh.
25:23I'm sorry.
25:24I'm sorry.
25:25I'm sorry.
25:26I'm sorry.
25:27I'm sorry.
25:28I'm sorry.
25:29I'm sorry.
25:30I'm sorry.
25:31I'm sorry.
25:32I'm sorry.
25:33I'm sorry.
25:34I'm sorry.
25:35Oh, it's a bit...
25:37It's a bit well done.
25:39No, you don't have to.
25:40Nope.
25:41Lovely, Jean, thank you.
25:45Sorry, I'm...
25:47I'm in a bit of a bad mood, had a rout with Zoe.
25:49Must be something in the air.
25:51Me and Nigel have just had a...
25:53a blow-up.
25:55He said I'd treat him like a child,
25:57and he stormed off.
26:00You thought about phoning him?
26:02I was thinking about, um,
26:04what you said to George,
26:06about adults making their own decisions.
26:10And maybe...
26:12Nigel's right, maybe.
26:14I've been treating him like a child.
26:16Anyway, I thought I'd
26:18give him time to cool off, you know.
26:20Give him some space.
26:22Yeah, space is good.
26:26Only the last time Nigel went off after a row,
26:28he ended up in hospital.
26:30Yeah.
26:32Oh, he's probably in the cafe right now,
26:34wondering when he can come back and apologise.
26:36One of you needs to make the first move.
26:40Ring him.
26:42Get him back home where he belongs.
26:46What about the club at the container park?
27:00The one with the fit bounces, yeah?
27:02What about the club at the Container Park?
27:09The one with the fit bounces, yeah?
27:12What are you talking about?
27:13What's that?
27:32What are you talking about?
