00:00Hello, Mark.
00:12Hi, Felix.
00:15Oh, my God.
00:17Oh.
00:18Hi, Mark.
00:20I'm Sam.
00:22I'm your dad and Phil's sister.
00:24And if you ever call me, Auntie, I'll black your other eye.
00:28I did try and introduce myself last night, but you were well out of it.
00:32Wasn't he, Phil?
00:34What the hell happened?
00:36Who did this to you?
00:38Been in a fight, haven't you, Grant?
00:40Oh, Nigel, it's not Grant. No, it's Mark.
00:43It's Grant's son.
00:44I'm okay. I'm okay.
00:46Got jumped by some blokes.
00:47Did they mug you?
00:50Your lovely face.
00:52It was a few bruises, eh?
00:54It's so good to see you, Vic.
00:58What are you even doing here?
01:00I've come to give you a shoulder to lean on during this court business.
01:03Have you come all this way?
01:05Yeah.
01:06It's not every day your sister has to face some kid who attacked her, is it?
01:12Oh, sorry.
01:13Ian, you tell your mum to dump her calves somewhere else?
01:26Yeah, absolutely.
01:27I mean, your two pterodactyls could easily fall down and crush them.
01:30I don't want your partner.
01:31Excuse me, I think you'll find that a peacock doesn't crush it.
01:34Displays.
01:35Oh, mutton dressed as lamb.
01:38Why are you so obsessed with me?
01:40Is it because you have a small, petty life?
01:43You're just a sad, lonely man.
01:45No, it's more a case of you being a complete narcissist
01:48who thinks everyone's obsessed with her,
01:50when in reality, no one gives you a second thought.
01:53Oh, and now you're out of the Queen, Vic?
01:55You're irrelevant.
01:57Have a nice day.
01:59Ta-da.
02:00Look, I know I lent you the money, but you don't need to keep coming round here
02:06and telling me about every detail, all right?
02:08It's your restaurant.
02:09I just thought you might want to be involved.
02:12Oh, I don't care what colour you paint the kitchen.
02:14Sorry.
02:15It's just none of me jumpsuits fit and me boobs are sore.
02:18Hey, shh.
02:20Why is it?
02:21All the women in my life, her voices are carrying faster than the speed of light.
02:24You still not told her?
02:26Oh, and then gets emotional about stuff.
02:29Yeah?
02:30Yeah.
02:31She'll get a lot more emotional if she finds out from someone else.
02:35Tell her.
02:41Hey, Lainey.
02:43Hmm?
02:44You see someone, aren't you?
02:46Have you seen this?
02:48Cathy Beale using the whole square as their personal car park.
02:51I mean, honestly, that family think they own the whole of Walford.
02:55Er, Lainey, could I chat to you about something?
03:00Go on.
03:02Er, not here.
03:03Not out in the square, but, erm...
03:06Can I meet you in a bit after lunch?
03:08A quick drink?
03:09Yeah.
03:10Okay.
03:12Great.
03:13See you there.
03:20I'll go out the shower and head over to the cat, okay?
03:22Well, Kelly's here to support Vicky.
03:26He ain't even got any luggage with him.
03:28The mate's dropping my stuff off later.
03:30If that's okay with you.
03:32Right.
03:34Truth time.
03:40I'm going nowhere, babe.
03:41Spit it out.
03:45I got beat up by guys I work with.
03:47What sort of work?
03:51Go on.
03:53I get my hands dirty when things don't go my boss's way.
03:56Money lending or drugs?
04:01Drugs, then.
04:02Oh, we've all been there.
04:03They think I'm a grass, Phil.
04:06Me!
04:08I've got a chance to clear my name, but I need your help.
04:13Oh, don't get involved in that world.
04:16Not anymore.
04:18We got involved ten years ago, didn't ya?
04:20When you told me Grant was my real dad.
04:27Is that what you do now, Phil?
04:29Walk away!
04:34Do you know, earlier, I couldn't...
04:36I couldn't quite see Grant in you.
04:39But he's there alright, ain't he?
04:43Oh, listen, Mark. Phil's got a lot on his plate right now.
04:46He's taken on caring for Nigel.
04:49That's an old school friend of your dad's.
04:51Poor thing's got dementia really badly.
04:53He could still help me though, couldn't he?
04:55Nah, your timing's off, I'm afraid.
04:57He's taking Nigel to Portugal.
04:59They've got flights booked for tonight.
05:01Well, can't they wait a few days?
05:02Not as far as Phil's concerned.
05:04They'd have been gone last night if you hadn't showed up.
05:06Listen, I think it's a really stupid idea, but...
05:09Well, he's a stubborn one.
05:11Grant's the brawn, I'm the looks.
05:14Phil's the grumpy old sod.
05:27Morning.
05:28Morning.
05:32In what world is that lavender?
05:34Don't ask me.
05:35My sinuses haven't been the same since that very unfortunate incident I had at the Chelsea Flower show.
05:40What do you think?
05:42Lovely.
05:44If ever I want a knitted rabbit, I know who to call on.
05:47Not knitted, it's a crocheted Easter bunny.
05:49Darling, it's January.
05:50I've got a very elaborate Easter bonnet plan.
05:54Oh.
05:55To each their own.
05:57Oh, I'll help you.
06:00I couldn't help noticing you talking to a very handsome man earlier.
06:05Excuse me.
06:06Outside.
06:07I wasn't spying.
06:08I was just looking out of the window to check the weather.
06:11Hunk alert.
06:12Oh.
06:13That's George.
06:14My ex-husband.
06:16Oh, really?
06:17I haven't touched a nerve, have I?
06:19Sorry.
06:20I'm overstepping.
06:22It was complicated.
06:23Oh.
06:24Have you still got feelings?
06:25No, no, no.
06:26We've both moved on.
06:27Oh.
06:28Oh.
06:29Well, at least you've still got Johnny and Linda.
06:34Is he seeing anyone?
06:35Not as far as I know.
06:37And there's no chance that you and he can connect again?
06:40No.
06:42Although, he did just invite me out for a drink.
06:46To talk about something personal.
06:49No, he couldn't have possibly meant that.
06:50Absolutely not.
06:51No.
06:52He might have.
06:53Why wouldn't he still be interested?
06:55I mean, look at you.
06:57You know, your own business.
06:58You're a beautiful, vibrant woman.
07:00Never saying never.
07:02And asking you for a drink is practically like asking you on a date.
07:07When it is in my book.
07:17Cat won't leave me alone for one minute.
07:19Can I stay at yours tonight?
07:20Of course.
07:21Of course.
07:22Yeah, I'll just ignore her, but I am.
07:26I can't wait to get out of here and speak with you.
07:29I know, me too.
07:30But Lauren's right.
07:31We need to have money.
07:33But I actually have an idea on how we could get some.
07:36If I pull it off today, we could go tonight.
07:39Oh.
07:41Well, I don't want to jinx it, but leave that with me.
07:43All right?
07:44If we're going to catch her out, we need to be one step ahead of her.
07:51Yeah.
07:53Got any ideas?
07:54Well, she lied about you coming on to her.
07:57She lied about pushing me down the stairs of the Abbot.
08:00And I think it's her lies that are going to catch her out.
08:03Yeah, I tried all that.
08:04Oscar just doubled down.
08:07Don't want to lose him, Cindy.
08:09What?
08:10So you're just not going to do anything?
08:12Losing your nerve, Max?
08:13I mean, I did hear she gave a statement to the police.
08:18Doubt there's much truth in that.
08:20Well, there's one way of finding out.
08:23I'm not the one with a copper.
08:25Or a brother.
08:35You, uh...
08:37You sure you're all right?
08:38Yeah.
08:40Yeah.
08:41Got my meds.
08:43Fingers crossed they got all the cancer out.
08:50Thank you, Phil.
08:52I don't think I said it to you last night when you brought me home.
08:55I think I was still a bit drugged up.
08:58Look, I know I can be a right cow sometimes, but...
09:02it means the world to me knowing that you care.
09:06Do you think we should tell Grant?
09:09You know, about Mark?
09:10If Mark wants him involved, let him call him, yeah?
09:14Oh, come on, Phil.
09:16The boy's family.
09:18I know it looks like he can handle himself, but he clearly needs help.
09:20Why else would he turn up?
09:23Look, go on, just change your flights again.
09:25For a couple of days.
09:27I can introduce Ricky to his big cousin.
09:30I can do a Sunday roast.
09:31Yeah, Mum would have done that.
09:32Yeah, Mum would have done that.
09:34She'd get all the family round the table and...
09:36Hiya!
09:38Olivia!
09:40I thought you said she wasn't back till next week.
09:42Surprise!
09:44What, er, are you doing back around here?
09:46Oh, well, it's really nice to see you too, Phil.
09:49Er, I did everything I could with the house sale, so...
09:52I thought I'd come back early.
09:53Where's Nigel?
09:54He's, er...
09:56Upstairs.
09:57How's he been?
09:58Oh, don't worry, I'll find out for myself.
09:59Oh, er, Phil, I've just left my case by the back door, if you wouldn't mind,
10:02and we'll have a little catch-up in a bit, eh, son?
10:05Great.
10:07Well, there you go.
10:09You can't smuggle Nigel out of the country tonight, so you can help Mark.
10:13I ain't changing my plans.
10:15Phil, she's back.
10:16You...
10:17It makes no difference.
10:18We're on that flight tonight.
10:24Oi, misery guts.
10:27Eat this.
10:29And before you turn your nose off, it's not like Mum's cottage pie actually tastes or something.
10:34Oh, careful, you almost smiled there.
10:38Oh, you stop looking so damn!
10:41I've told ya!
10:42Gonna be okay.
10:43Especially now I've got you here.
10:45Supporting me.
10:49Look, I'm sorry I'm not the best for keeping in contact, Vic.
10:52You are busy.
10:54And you're here now.
10:56Means everything.
10:59I'm gonna have to stop myself from grabbing Joel and ripping him apart.
11:03Yeah, well, please do stop yourself.
11:07Well, come on then.
11:08What's the goss?
11:10Got a girlfriend?
11:11Anyone special?
11:13I bet they're queuing up to get you.
11:15Give me the rest of them.
11:19Oh, do you want me to bring a sandwich cup of coffee?
11:22Oh, come on.
11:23Oh, well.
11:25You were supposed to protect her.
11:29Marie, get us a napkin.
11:30Come here.
11:31What's he doing here?
11:33Oh, he's looking out for me.
11:35Oof.
11:37Now keep still, you great lump.
11:39Oh.
11:43Look it!
11:45I've got a surprise for ya!
11:46You sure it's a good idea, yeah?
11:47You've got a ton on your back, am I?
11:48No, of course I am.
11:49Oh, good.
11:50Hey!
11:51Hey, all right, Muppet?
11:52Right.
11:53I've got 50 quid here.
11:54I don't care how you spend it.
11:55I want you two to have a boy's day out, okay?
11:56Oh, er...
11:57I don't know.
11:58Hey, man, listen.
11:59I think it's time.
12:00And I'm gonna be there with you and I'm not leaving your side.
12:01Trust me, man.
12:02Yeah.
12:03Yeah, I suppose might as well.
12:04Thanks.
12:05Tiny steps.
12:06Yeah?
12:07Hey, before we go anywhere, you need to get in that shower.
12:08Come on.
12:09Stink, bro.
12:10Oh.
12:11Oh.
12:12Oh.
12:13Oh.
12:14Oh.
12:15Oh.
12:16Oh.
12:17Oh.
12:18Oh.
12:19Oh.
12:20Oh.
12:21Oh.
12:22Oh.
12:23Oh.
12:24Oh.
12:25Oh.
12:26Oh.
12:27Oh.
12:28Oh.
12:29Oh.
12:30Oh.
12:31Oh.
12:32Oh.
12:33Oh.
12:34Oh.
12:35Oh.
12:45Yeah.
12:46Oh.
12:47Well, does it have to be today?
12:49Can't wait a lot of time.
12:54Yeah.
12:56Yeah, I'll be here then.
12:58Okay.
12:59Texting me her picture?
13:04I'm not having anyone, anyone target my sister.
13:08Well, this is what happens, isn't it?
13:09When you mess with the wrong people.
13:12Well, they can do what they like to me.
13:13But that crosses a line.
13:15Which is why they sent it.
13:18They mugging about, you need to find this grass.
13:21You think I'm not trying?
13:24He's come back to not lying who I am.
13:27Well, I suppose it's to be expected.
13:29Oh, blimey.
13:31Who's this trapping young man, then?
13:33Oh, this is Mark Grant's son.
13:35This is Julie, Nigel's wife.
13:37Grants' son?
13:39Oh.
13:40Hmm, well, I mean, he always did put it about a bit, didn't he, Phil?
13:44You been away?
13:45Scotland.
13:46Yeah, sorting out the sale of my house.
13:49Got to find a suitable care home for Nigel,
13:51which is upsetting on the emotions, but there we go.
13:55Still, I'm back now.
13:57I need to make the most of every minute with him
13:58until we find that perfect home.
14:00Eh?
14:01Oh, forgot to get milk, sorry.
14:10All I need you to do is contact some people.
14:12See if you can produce a name for me.
14:14I know Vicky's not your family, Phil,
14:18but do you really want her blood on your hands?
14:22So you got yourself into this mess.
14:24Gonna have to get yourself out of here.
14:26Right now,
14:28Nigel is my priory.
14:30Mum told me a lot about you.
14:33Never mentioned you were a coward.
14:35Well, we'll have to have a catch-up.
14:38About ten years' time.
14:39I can't.
14:52Oh.
14:53I see you've inherited your father's temper.
14:57Keep it in check, would you?
14:58Around Nigel, he does tend to upset quite easily.
15:01Oh, and they dustpan and brush just there under the sink.
15:03OK.
15:09Here you go, Suta.
15:11Oh, it's the juice.
15:14OK.
15:19Julie.
15:23If I tell you something,
15:24you've got to promise not to let Phil know I told you.
15:26Because he will kill me.
15:30I spit out the mark today.
15:31Phil's putting your husband on a plane tonight.
15:35He's taking him to live in Portugal.
15:45I'm serious.
15:47Ask him.
15:48To be safe, we need to stay with you.
16:01Hi.
16:03Hi.
16:05Yolandi said you'd probably be in here.
16:07Do you mind if I join you?
16:09Yeah, man.
16:10I'd like that.
16:13Tea.
16:14Coffee.
16:14Oh, no, I'm good.
16:18So, how have you been?
16:24Um, what were you asking for conversation, or do you really want to know?
16:31Well, I really want to know.
16:33Yeah.
16:35Life has been better.
16:38Yeah.
16:40I had to choose a coffin the other day, you know.
16:42Two sons, two coffins.
16:49No father should have to deal with this.
16:55I'm sorry.
16:59So, um, why are you looking for me?
17:02Hmm?
17:02To, to see you.
17:06To check in on you.
17:09I, I know we don't know each other all that well.
17:13But you know what?
17:15Now that we have found each other,
17:17I am not going to be that kind of grandfather who just dishes out birthday cards.
17:23All right.
17:24Yeah.
17:26I like talking to you.
17:28I feel like I could be myself.
17:31And Vic, Kat's eyes are just always on me.
17:34They're at me all the time.
17:36It's like she thinks I can help her free Zoe or something.
17:39I see.
17:42Yeah, you know, you can always have a bed at my house.
17:45Oh, thanks.
17:48But honestly, I just want to get away for a while.
17:53Not forever.
17:54Just clear my head maybe a few weeks, months or two.
18:04Look, you're the last person I should be saying this to.
18:08But I can't face the funeral.
18:10Um, I presume you might be short of savings.
18:20Well, let me see what I can do about this, all right?
18:29No, a few drinks, um, I'll say a few words, you know.
18:33Cut the ribbon and, um, hey, you should come.
18:36To the relaunch of a laundrette?
18:38Hmm.
18:39You should get out more, Ian.
18:40Get a life.
18:42Hmm.
18:42Try it.
18:43Oh.
18:44Uh, before you ask, Ian.
18:46No, thanks.
18:47You and Kathy enjoy your laundrette.
18:49You're used to air in your dirty laundry in public, aren't you?
18:54Ah.
18:55No.
18:56What are you doing?
18:57Oh.
18:58You know me so well.
19:01Have you heard from Anna?
19:03Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:04She's happy, yeah.
19:06Uh, give me a pic.
19:08Her and Freddie on her beef somewhere.
19:10Oh.
19:13Listen, Lainey.
19:14Can I say something first?
19:17Look, I think it's wonderful that we can still have a drink together.
19:22And, um, obviously I admit I've got feelings, strong feelings, that aren't easy to shake off.
19:30But unless you can convince me otherwise, I'm not sure that us getting back together again is the right thing.
19:38Nicola's having my baby.
19:46That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
19:49Oh.
19:50Hmm.
19:50Congratulations.
19:53Look, I'm sorry if you've got the wrong end of the stick.
19:58No, no, it's nothing like that.
20:00I honestly didn't want you to think there was any hope for us because there isn't.
20:05I'd better get back.
20:08Uh, Lainey.
20:10I'm sorry.
20:13From now on, just call me Elaine.
20:15Elaine.
20:15I hope you'll be very happy together.
20:25So you tell one ex-wife, but not the other.
20:29Nice one.
20:30Cheers, George.
20:31Good luck.
20:33You need it.
20:34Um, Lainey, that...
20:37That can't have been easy for you to hear.
20:39Keep your nasty remarks to yourself.
20:41Well, well, well, hang on.
20:43I was actually being genuine.
20:44Genuine you?
20:45You haven't been genuine since the day you were born.
20:48You were a horrible, sad, pathetic man.
20:51No wonder you can't keep a relationship together.
20:53They all run away from you like you've got the plague.
20:55And by the looks of you, you probably have.
21:04I, uh, got you some of that tea you like.
21:16Right.
21:22For me to have tonight while you're sitting by the pool with my husband.
21:30Who told you?
21:33Nigel.
21:34I thought we were singing from the same hymn, chief.
21:42Sell the house, find the perfect care, home the right fit.
21:50He doesn't know where he is half the time these days.
21:53He's fast becoming a danger to himself, and you want to...
21:56You want to put him on a plane and fly him to Portugal.
22:01What sort of a life is he going to have in a care home, eh?
22:03I just want what's best for him.
22:07He needs proper care.
22:08That's what's best for him.
22:12Yeah, and I was planning on you joining us and all.
22:14Oh!
22:14It's not like I'm stealing or anything, is it?
22:16It's, you know, you want to come, I'll buy you a ticket.
22:18I don't want to go to Portugal, and neither does Nigel.
22:22This is all about you.
22:23You've made it all about you.
22:25He doesn't need this.
22:32So, um...
22:36Thank you for everything you've done for Nigel.
22:39I mean, nothing.
22:40But it's time that we found somewhere else to live.
22:42Oh, God.
22:51Oscar!
22:53Pack your bags.
22:55What?
22:55No.
22:56No.
22:56No.
22:59Oh...
22:59Patrick?
23:01Yeah.
23:01I told him I needed to get away, and he completely got there.
23:04I didn't say I needed any money.
23:06He offered, which, I mean, I guess I was kind of hoping he would, but...
23:10No, no, no, no, you can't take Patrick's money.
23:13He's an old man.
23:13He's already lost too much.
23:14I mean, I know it's not ideal.
23:16I've nearly changed my mind about taking the thing, but he told me he wanted me to have it.
23:22All right, it's not like I actually robbed the man.
23:26Sorry.
23:28We have the money now, babe.
23:30Can't we just pack our bags and go?
23:35No.
23:37This isn't right.
23:40I can't leave on Patrick's money.
23:43So you're not saying that as an excuse not to leave at all?
23:46Of course I am.
23:48Kevin.
23:49Get out.
23:51We're still in this together.
23:53Pick and feed, baby!
23:55So, you told Kat you made a statement to the police, but my brother says you've been nowhere near.
24:02It's funny, isn't it?
24:03I wonder what Kat's going to say when I tell her.
24:06Maybe I won't have to.
24:07Anyway.
24:08So long as Julie is going to ish.
24:10So long as Julie wants to ask another one.
24:15You know what Kat's going to ask us?
24:16Why are you gonna talk to us?
24:23I have no idea.
24:29Who is going to talk to her?
24:30She's going to knock out.
24:31Who are you going to talk to her?
24:32Who is going to talk to her?
24:34Give it to her, Phil.
24:50I booked us a room in the B&B across the square
24:52until I can find a suitable home for him.
24:55You can still see him.
24:57Listen, you've got a passport. Why don't you stay here, eh?
24:59Come on, sweetheart. Come on, put your coat on. We're going.
25:02What?
25:02Come on, put your coat on. We're leaving.
25:05I live here?
25:06Yeah, well, we're just going to go and stay somewhere else for a while.
25:08Come on, sweetheart. Ask Julie. Where's Julie?
25:10I'm Julie, sweetheart. We're going to go and stay somewhere else.
25:11All right, Grant. Didn't see you sitting there.
25:14All right, mate.
25:15Come on, sweetheart. It's time to go. That's it.
25:19Catch you later, Grant.
25:23Come on.
25:25That's it.
25:29I'll see you later, mate.
25:32Councillor.
25:39Councillor.
25:40Elaine.
25:41It's Elaine.
25:42Elaine.
25:43Your room is ready.
25:44Elaine is always very accommodated.
25:47Councillor Barker.
25:50Smile.
25:51Ah.
25:51Your wife's changed a lot since that last council, do it.
25:56Lost about 20 years, I think.
25:59Sad and perfect, family.
26:02Right, where are you?
26:03Here you are.
26:03And...
26:04Send.
26:05Ooh.
26:06Nigel seems like a nice guy.
26:21Look...
26:23I do need your help.
26:28But if you do help me, Uncle Phil, I will forever be in your debt.
26:33And I ain't just high muscle.
26:36I can be useful.
26:37Well, it ain't like I'm leaving the country or anything, is it?
26:44Um...
26:49So...
26:50Miss Grouse.
26:53I've been adding...
26:55...false intel into different jobs...
26:58...to see which info gets back to the cops.
27:01And I've tracked the leaks...
27:03...to this side of London.
27:08So it could be someone round here.
27:14And what happens with this grass...
27:18...if we find him?
27:21They can do what they like with him.
27:25He's a dead man.
