00:00Hi, Mrs. Bates. This is Chris Vickery from Brereton Rice Care Home. I hope you've got my message.
00:21We can only keep your husband's place for 24 hours, so if you could get back to me to confirm by the...
00:30So he's got a place in the care home, then? When's he leaving? I don't know. What about you?
00:37Sounds like you want rid of me, Phil. I just thought he might be tired of slumming it on my sofa.
00:41Maybe I could have Nigel's room if he's on his way out. Do they know about the place yet?
00:47Ain't you got somewhere else you should be? I thought we'd head down to this Val renewal,
00:52actually, you know, seeing as Nigel's almost family. Plus, I heard the owner. He used to be in the drugs
00:59game. I wouldn't know. Thought me and you could take her aside after the ceremony and have a little
01:04chat with her. If I don't find out who's talking, Phil, they're gonna hurt Vicky. You do get that,
01:11don't you? I said I'll ask around. I've asked around. And when they get back to me, I'll let you know.
01:18Is she all right? She just had a few drinks last night. Found her on the sofa.
01:33Attention, please. The one, the only, Mrs. Julie Bates. Sorry, I think I'm gonna be sick.
01:41Oh. Oh. That wasn't the response I was hoping for. You look amazing. Thank you. Doesn't she, Nigel?
01:51Cute. Oh, well, I was worried I might look like a bag of spuds, but Elaine's managed to work on that
01:57chick. Oh, shall I take a photo, Nigel? Come here. Yeah, you get up there. Right. That's it.
02:03Thank you. Okay, big smiles for the happy couple on their special day.
02:07We're getting married, aren't we? We are. Kim said that she'd officiate for us. Nicola said that we
02:13could use Harry's barn. Yeah, I thought we might pop over there to check everything's the way you
02:18want it, yeah? Yeah. Um, I better get ready. Oh, you've got hours yet, sweetheart. It's fine. It's fine.
02:24I'll keep an eye on you. Okay, thank you.
02:30Gorgeous. Thank you.
02:30I'm getting married. Oh, I know you are, Nigel. I'm just about to go home,
02:37get changed, and I'll see you there. Yeah, see you there. Good morning, sparrows.
02:45I feel like death. Oh, I don't, I don't feel too bad, actually. I mean, I don't remember much at all
02:50about last night, but everyone's still speaking to me, so couldn't have been that bad, could we?
02:56Yeah. I'll see you later.
03:20I've been meaning to talk to you, you know, about last week, the trial.
03:35That's fine. No, no, no, no, it ain't. Yeah, I should've been there, and I should've apologised before,
03:43and I kept meaning to, but, um, I don't know, it's, uh, it's a lot of noise in my head right now,
03:49yeah, so, um, and I'm, I'm, I'm trying. I just want you to know that I'm trying, okay?
03:55I knew something was up with you. Look, Dad, when I was going through some stuff, like,
04:00it really helped to speak about it, so I just want to let you know that I'm here if you ever need to speak.
04:07Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But I'm fine, okay? Everything's fine.
04:13Are you sure? Yeah. Um, just let me speak to you,
04:16brother, okay? Hey, Nugget. Hey, hey, hey. Hey. How's work, it's strange, going?
04:23I'd rather pretend you cared, Dad. Princess at wait. No, no, no, no, no, I was just apologising, um,
04:30for last week, not being there for her. What about being there for me? It's been a month,
04:34and you've done nothing. If it was her you got attacked that night, you would have,
04:39you would have torn this place apart.
04:51Patrick. Somebody to see her.
04:56I spoke to Zoe. She said she approved your request for a visit.
05:03She did, mm-hmm. Are you going?
05:05Mm-hmm. Don't, please, Patrick.
05:08My son's dead, and I have to write his eulogy. I need to know the truth about who he was and what
05:14he did. Look, I know what you think of him. But I can't square that man with the son I raised.
05:22So I need to talk to Zoe, okay? What if it traumatises her in the process?
05:28Listen, I ain't looking to traumatise anybody. I just need the truth.
05:32It gives me no pleasure saying this, but your son was every bit as bad as people are saying.
05:38That's the truth. And the other truth is, my son didn't kill anybody. Your daughter did.
05:45Just promise me you won't tell her about Jasmine, because there's nothing she can do about it,
05:48and it will break her heart. Yeah. You want what's best for your daughter,
05:53I understand that. But her broken heart is no concern of mine.
05:58No kiss goodbye, then? Oh, sorry. Look, I know you're upset about nothing here,
06:11but don't cut me out, babe. We're in this together. Yeah, yeah, I know. I just thought
06:15the time we'd be okay, but now I'm not sure. Yeah. We just need to get him out of this headspace.
06:21Maybe. We should buy him a car. I mean, he'd love that massive distraction,
06:27and you could teach him how to drive. Father, son, bonding time, get things back on track.
06:32Yeah. Yeah, I'll ask around to him today. Oh, yeah. Can I have a diamond necklace whilst you're at it?
06:38We're gonna get through this, okay? You'll see. Yeah. It's just that I can see it in his eyes.
06:44He's in a really bad place. Yeah, and that's down to me.
06:48You're pretty good. This ain't down to you, okay? What happened to Nugget?
06:51That's Harry and Nicholas' fault. They did this, and they're responsible.
06:59See you later. Yeah.
07:10Nigel? What are you doing? I'm getting married. I need to get ready with my best man.
07:18Nigel? What are you doing sneaking off?
07:23Why don't you head inside, yeah? Just head inside.
07:28He thinks she's getting married. Does she seriously think he's up to this?
07:31No, Phil. The call from the care home could come any day now,
07:35but Julie just wants to give him one last happy day on the square with all his friends before he leaves.
07:40You can tell her. Tell her that you'll be there.
07:50I've just been at his missing. Not missing anything. We're finished now.
07:54All done. There is a bit of blue to bring up the dress and her eyes.
07:58Well, here, look at me. Stick it to yourself. No, no, no. I'll pack it myself a bit.
08:00Mum.
08:02Darling. Why aren't you at school? I've got a free.
08:04You all right? If you and Zach could have fallen out.
08:06No. Can we talk?
08:07Nick!
08:08Look, darling, it's going to have to wait, all right? No, please, Mum.
08:12I've got an event starting in half an hour, all right? Just grab yourself a Coke, yeah?
08:16No problem.
08:17She wants a bigger stage.
08:18Not for me. Not for me. I just want to make sure that everybody can see this beautiful expression of love most.
08:24Yeah? Then book the O2, because this is all I could get last minute.
08:27It's smashing, Nicola. Honestly, I can't thank you enough, really. Thank you.
08:34Hiya, Linda.
08:42Oi! Nuggets!
08:46That stocktake should have taken ten minutes. Get your head in the game, yeah?
08:49He's counting cans of beans, not pitching for the World Series.
08:58Anyway, I thought he was supposed to be doing management stuff.
09:01Oi, you can't drive the bus if you don't know what's under the bonnet.
09:05Actually, you can.
09:07Anyway, look, I just... I wanted to say sorry for taking the mickey yesterday,
09:12but you did just make it so hard.
09:14Oh, hi, Vinnie. Could I have some paracetamol, please? I've got a banging head.
09:22I'm in a bit of a rush, too, so could you just stick it on my staff tab, please?
09:25Oh, I'm, um, I'm sorry, but I can't.
09:27Oh, have I gone over my credit limit or something?
09:30Look, honey, I think maybe you should talk to Mum.
09:34You, uh, you sure you want to go through with this, yeah?
09:42Through with what?
09:43The vow renewal.
09:47The wedding.
09:49Yeah, yeah. I'm getting married.
09:56Where are you going?
09:57Oh, it's just, uh...
10:00I'm just gonna get some water.
10:04Where is he?
10:15He's through there.
10:17All dressed up like a performing monkey.
10:21So, I don't want to argue with you, all right?
10:23But, you know, seeing him like that,
10:26you don't even understand what he's doing.
10:28You sure that this is the right thing for him?
10:30It's a little corsage, darling.
10:34Here you go.
10:36Oh, buttonhole.
10:37Come on, why not?
10:38Corsage, darling.
10:40Oh, Zuki!
10:43Finny said you wanted to talk to me.
10:45Yeah, I'm late for a meeting.
10:46To be honest, he was acting a little bit weird, so...
10:50You are unbelievable, honey.
10:52I can't believe you've got the gall to stand here right now and look me in the eye.
10:55And if I was you, I'd be hiding under a rock right now.
10:59I've done something to upset you.
11:02How could it not upset me?
11:04Wasn't that the whole point of the email?
11:06Email?
11:07Oh, you didn't think there'd be consequences.
11:12Zuki.
11:14Listen, I'm...
11:14No, I'm...
11:15No, honey.
11:17You're suspended until I think about what those consequences are.
11:20What was that all about?
11:28I'm going to have to go home.
11:29I don't feel real.
11:30Do you want me to come with you?
11:31No.
11:33I thought you were all up for the vow renewal when we talked about it at Christmas.
11:38No one could have predicted that he'd go down here as quickly as he has.
11:41I'm just not sure he's up to it now, that's all.
11:43Oh, yeah, and I bet you've been really busy telling him that, haven't you?
11:46I haven't said a word, all right?
11:47I played along with it.
11:48But why do you think he's here?
11:49He feels unsettled, you know?
11:51He's a...
11:52He needs to be back home here, where he feels safe.
11:55This isn't his home, Phil.
11:57It was until you made it impossible for us to stay here,
12:00undermining me at every turn.
12:02Stop making this about you, will you?
12:04Says the man who was going to cart him off to Portugal,
12:07away from his wife, his friends and everything he knows.
12:09Well, I was wrong, okay?
12:11And I see that now, you know?
12:12I wasn't putting Nigel first, but...
12:15I'm just saying, don't make the same mistake as me.
12:17What if he's stood there here with all them people looking at him and he can't deal with it?
12:23Well, I'm going to look after him, aren't I?
12:24And he gets upset and starts panicking.
12:27He won't!
12:27Listen, what if he...
12:30What if he wetts himself?
12:31Oh!
12:32Now, what if he wetts himself like he did before the film screening?
12:34Because you know that's a possibility, right?
12:39So, the man that turned up at my doorstep a little over a year ago,
12:44he wouldn't want this.
12:48He was prepared to kill himself,
12:50to keep his dignity.
12:52Now, we need to protect that man.
12:58I just wanted to give him a happy day before everything changes.
13:06But they already have, haven't they?
13:10We need to honour what was important to him, you know?
13:15His dignity.
13:16Thank you for agreeing to see me.
13:41You probably think I killed your son.
13:43I didn't.
13:46Do you believe me?
13:49I don't know what to believe.
13:50That's the reason why I'm here.
13:54You know, when I lost my son, Paul,
13:58man, it broke my heart.
14:00But at least I could understand, you know, the way he was,
14:04the company he kept.
14:05But with Anthony, I find it difficult to understand.
14:14And to reconcile that loving boy I knew,
14:19to demand everybody telling me that he was.
14:21So, it's the reason why I'm here to ask you to help me to understand.
14:34Do you really want to know the truth?
14:37Because I don't think it's going to make you feel any better.
14:40I just want to know my son.
14:51What are you looking at?
14:52That's Julie.
14:56We're getting married.
15:01How do you, uh, how do you feel about that?
15:04Well, I feel, um, lucky.
15:08I mean, look at her.
15:09Well, you know, there'll be a lot of people there.
15:12I'm just a bit worried that it might be, you know, a bit too much for you.
15:16We both are, me and Julie.
15:17She doesn't want to.
15:20No, no, she wants to, mate.
15:21It's just, well, we're not sure what's best for you.
15:25And that's all we want, you know, what's best for you.
15:28This is what's best for me.
15:31I want to marry her, Phil.
15:33I want to marry her more than anything in the world.
15:43Getting together with him that night was a mistake.
15:48So why did you?
15:50Why build up his hope, hmm?
15:52I weren't in a good place.
15:53I weren't thinking straight.
15:55I thought I was being stalked.
15:57That I was going to die.
15:59But he didn't help.
16:02He exploited the situation so that he could get back in my life.
16:05Even though it was falling apart.
16:08Is it possible that you could have misinterpreted his behavior?
16:13Was that before or after he attacked me?
16:18The last thing I remember was him attacking me, Patrick.
16:21The look on his face.
16:24He wanted to kill me.
16:27And then everything went blank.
16:29But I didn't kill him, Patrick.
16:34I can't deny that Anne and he hurt me.
16:38But I did things that I ain't proud of.
16:40And maybe if I'd have brought him in instead of pushing him away.
16:47Maybe things would have been different and that would have brought out the good in him.
16:51Because there was good in him, Patrick.
16:53Well, thank you for seeing me and thank you for telling me the truth.
17:05And for being as kind as you could be under the circumstances.
17:10I'm not going to take up any more of your time.
17:15Time ain't something I'm sure of in this place.
17:19How's Jasmine?
17:22Well, as far as I know, she's well.
17:24I'm sure Cat will be able to tell you more than I can.
17:27Thanks.
17:33Miss, wait. It's going to start in a minute.
17:35I've been waiting for ages.
17:36Please, Mum, I need to talk to you.
17:39Okay.
17:44I overheard Ravi and Priya talking earlier.
17:47They were blaming you and Harry for what happened to Nugget.
17:51And I know you couldn't do something like that.
17:53But...
17:57But what?
17:58What, you think your brother could? Is that it?
18:00Could what?
18:03Barney's got it in his head that we had something to do with what happened to Nugget.
18:06I heard Ravi and Priya say you were responsible, that's all.
18:09Yeah?
18:10You shouldn't believe everything you hear, darling.
18:12So you didn't do it?
18:14No. Of course not.
18:16Or get someone else to do it.
18:18Barney? How could you think such a thing?
18:21Do you think I did that?
18:22Well, because of that beef I had between me and Ravi.
18:25Your brother had nothing to do with it and neither did I.
18:29Just tell him.
18:31Why not, Barney?
18:34Look me in the eyes and swear.
18:35Barney?
18:36He just told you.
18:38Swear to me?
18:40You had nothing to do with it?
18:43I swear.
18:46Right.
18:47Can we put this stupid idea to bed now, please?
18:52Come on, it's starting.
19:05Hi. Hello, everyone.
19:06Can I just have a quick word?
19:08Erm, thank you all so much for being here.
19:12I really appreciate it.
19:14So, we're not going to wait for Nigel?
19:17Er, he's not coming.
19:23So, er, look, you all know, er, what Nigel's going through.
19:27And, er, I thought that this was something that I could give him.
19:31You know, a special day, you know, something for him to draw on when things get harder.
19:39Erm, but, er, thinking it through, I don't know that it's what he really wants.
19:45Yes, I do.
19:52Oh, nice.
19:53Aw.
19:56Well done, Nigel.
19:57Right, Nigel.
20:00So, erm, are we going to get married or what?
20:04I don't remember saying this.
20:17Well, you were angry and frustrated, and I said, write it down, get it all out.
20:23She suspended me.
20:24Well, you know, it might all work out for the best in the end.
20:28She'll reflect on the things that you've said and things will get better.
20:32She's not the reflective type, Bea.
20:34She's the proud, vindictive type.
20:36And me dragging up all of this stuff about her having a crush on me,
20:40I mean, she's never going to forgive me.
20:43Look, I'm so, so sorry, but what's done is done.
20:47And, you know, maybe you'll get a new, better job.
20:50Did you want this to happen?
20:52No, of course not.
20:54Only you said it was your idea.
20:56I just wanted to help you, and I think that Sookie should be held to account.
21:00But if you wanted to help me, you should have stopped me from sending this email.
21:05Obviously, you weren't as drunk as I was.
21:06Well, it's just you're a bit of a lightweight.
21:09That's...
21:11Are you blaming me for this?
21:12Bea, I have two kids, okay, and we're struggling to make ends meet.
21:18You might think I had a rubbish job, and it's easy to find another one,
21:21but it wasn't, and I can't.
21:23This is a real big problem for me and my family.
21:26Do you remember the first time we saw each other?
21:36It was at school.
21:39And Claire was having a few problems, and so I called you in for a chat.
21:48Didn't know what to expect.
21:49But it wasn't this, um, this shaggy-haired koala bear that came through that door.
22:00And then when you'd gone, I thought about you.
22:05And I thought there's something about your face, your beautiful face.
22:18And I could tell that you were funny and that you were kind.
22:27And I thought I'd like to see that face again.
22:37So I did.
22:40Yeah.
22:41Um, you came in at the video store.
22:44Yes, that's right. It's right, I did.
22:49Yeah.
22:49I suddenly developed a love for French cinema.
22:57And I developed a love for you.
23:01And I've loved you ever since.
23:04After all these years.
23:05So I, Julie Bates, would very much like to take you, Nigel Bates, to be my husband.
23:26Again.
23:26I don't know what to say.
23:30Oh, it's okay, sweetheart. You don't have to say anything.
23:34It's okay.
23:38Why is everyone looking at me?
23:41I don't mind.
23:42It's okay.
23:42Please, can we go home?
23:44Yes, of course we can, sweetheart.
23:44Can we...
23:45Hey, hey, hey.
23:46Hey.
23:47You all right, mate?
23:49You want me to do this?
23:51I'll help me out, all right?
23:52I can help you.
23:53Just, just say what I say.
23:55I, Nigel Bates.
24:00I, Nigel Bates, take you, Julie, to be my wife.
24:07Take you, Julie, to be my wife.
24:10Again.
24:12Again.
24:16Okay, you can kiss the bride now.
24:17Oh, she's here.
24:25Are we married?
24:28Yes, mate.
24:28Come on, I'll go home now, then.
24:32Yeah.
24:32Yeah, you can go.
24:41I'll take him to Linda's.
24:43Okay.
24:44You probably want to, you know, talk to everyone over there.
24:47Oh, please.
24:48He said he wants to go home, so, um...
24:53Take him home.
24:57What's wrong with you?
25:10You look like you've seen a ghost.
25:11Are your parents in?
25:13No.
25:13Why?
25:14I need to ask you something.
25:16When Nugget was attacked, did he remember anything about it at all?
25:19You know he didn't.
25:20Not even if it was just a man or if there was a woman there.
25:22Anything at all.
25:23Why are you asking this, Barney?
25:24What's happened?
25:26You might want to answer, bruv.
25:32Where's my stone?
25:33Stone?
25:34Well, like a pumice stone.
25:36What stone?
25:36From the beach?
25:38Listen, uh, there you go.
25:40Bubbles.
25:42Bubbles got to be better than some stone, innit?
25:44Bill!
25:46Listen, stay where you are, all right?
25:47Don't move.
25:48I'll be right back.
25:49What's, um...
25:51Am I staying here tonight?
25:53Yeah, you are, mate.
25:54I'm staying here back at home, where you belong.
25:58Bill!
25:58All right, all right.
25:59I'll be back in a minute, all right.
26:08Do you want these upstairs?
26:09Uh, no, just, just leave them there, yeah?
26:11All right, have I grab the rest.
26:12All right, cheers.
26:14Oh, go on.
26:15Hiya, Mark.
26:16You all right?
26:16I thought you was, uh, staying at the party?
26:19He likes his things around and it makes him feel settled.
26:21Yeah.
26:22Listen, what, uh, what I said earlier, you know, I was, uh, I was wrong.
26:27No, no.
26:28No, you weren't.
26:29You were just doing what you thought was best for him, you know, like, so am I.
26:33There's no right or wrong.
26:34We're just trying to work it out together, aren't we?
26:38There's, uh, there's something else I need to talk to you about as well.
26:40The, uh, the care home.
26:42No.
26:44Don't want to talk about that till tomorrow.
26:46I don't want it to ruin today.
26:47It was a good day in the end and I think Nigel really enjoyed it.
26:50Yeah, yeah, he did.
26:51He's wiped out now, though.
26:52Right, so I'll just pop up and help him get his...
26:54No, no, that's all right, it's all right.
26:54I'll do it.
26:55I'll do it, yeah.
26:56You just go back to the party, enjoy it.
26:58Are you sure?
26:59Yeah, yeah, it's fine.
27:01Oh, he was, um, he was talking about some stone or something.
27:04Oh, it's funny what he remembers, isn't it?
27:07Yeah, he had this lovely round, smooth stone and he used to keep it on the side of the bath of the old house.
27:12His dad found it for him.
27:15I don't know if it survived the move, though, to be perfectly honest.
27:18After you.
27:20See ya.
27:24She actually seems happy to be back.
27:26Yeah, it's, it's not about her or me for that matter.
27:28It's about Nigel, you know?
27:30Cause he's back home here, where he feels safe.
27:33So I guess it's a good job you didn't drag him off to Portugal then, isn't it?
27:36Someone's done you a favour now.
27:38It was you.
27:40Well, you told her.
28:00I'll see here.
28:01I know you.
28:01He's back home.

28:08I know.
28:08I know.
28:08I know.
28:08But, but...
28:10I know that he has a lot of people don't have to sell it.
