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 you've got a place in the care home, then? When's he leaving? I don't know. What about you?
00:38Sounds like you want rid of me, Phil. I just thought he might be tired of slumming it on my sober.
00:43Maybe I could have Nigel's room if he's on his way out. Do they know about the place yet?
00:49Ain't you got somewhere else you should be? I thought we'd head down to this Val renewal, actually, you know, seeing as Nigel's almost family.
00:54Plus, I heard the owner, who used to be in the drugs game.
01:00I wouldn't know.
01:01Thought me and you could take her aside after a ceremony, have a little chat with her.
01:08If I don't find out who's talking, Phil, they're going to hurt Vicky. You do get that, don't you?
01:12I said I'll ask around. I've asked around.
01:16And when they get back to me, I'll let you know.
01:18Hey, son, is she all right?
01:30She just had a few drinks last night, found her on the sofa.
01:33Attention, please.
01:35The one, the only, Mrs. Julie Bates.
01:40Sorry, I think I'm going to be sick.
01:44That wasn't the response I was hoping for.
01:46You look amazing.
01:47Amazing.
01:49Doesn't she, Nigel?
01:51Beautiful.
01:52Oh, well, I was worried I might look like a bag of spuds, but Elaine's managed to work on that chick.
01:58Oh, shall I take a photo, Nigel?
01:59Oh, come here.
02:01Yeah, you get up there.
02:02Right.
02:02That's it.
02:03Okay, big smiles for the happy couple on their special day.
02:07Get married, aren't we?
02:08We are.
02:10Kim said that she'd officiate for us.
02:12Nicola said that we could use Harry's barn.
02:14Yeah, I thought we might pop over there to check everything's the way you want it, yeah?
02:19Yeah.
02:19Um, I better get ready.
02:21Oh, you've got hours yet, sweetheart.
02:23It's fine.
02:24It's fine.
02:24I'll keep an eye on you.
02:25Okay, thank you.
02:26Oh, gorgeous.
02:32I'm getting married.
02:34Oh, I know you are, Nigel.
02:36I'm just about to go home, get changed, and I'll see you there, all right?
02:39Yeah, see you there.
02:41Good morning, sparrows.
02:43I feel like death.
02:46Oh, I don't feel too bad, actually.
02:49I mean, I don't remember much at all about last night, but everyone's still speaking to me,
02:54so couldn't have been that bad, could we?
02:57See you later.
03:24I've been meaning to talk to you, you know, about last week, the trial.
03:35That's fine.
03:36No, no, no, no, it ain't.
03:38Yeah, I should have been there, and I should have apologised before, and I kept meaning to,
03:44but, um, I don't know, there's, uh, there's a lot of noise in my head right now, yeah?
03:50So, um, and I'm, I'm, I'm trying.
03:53I just want you to know that I'm trying, okay?
03:55I knew something was up with you.
03:58Look, Dad, when I was going through some stuff, like, it really helped to speak about it.
04:03So, I just want to let you know that I'm here if you ever need to speak.
04:07Yeah.
04:07Yeah?
04:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:09But I'm fine, okay?
04:12Everything's fine.
04:13Are you sure?
04:14Yeah.
04:15Um, just let me speak to you, brother, okay?
04:17Hey, Nugget!
04:19Hey, hey, hey!
04:21Hey!
04:22How's work, it's strange, guys?
04:24I'd rather pretend you cared, Dad.
04:27Princess at waiting.
04:28No, no, no, no, no, I was just apologising, um, for last week, not being there for her.
04:32What about being there for me?
04:33It's been a month, and you've done nothing.
04:36If it was Ho got attacked that night, you would have...
04:39You've torn this place apart.
04:51Patrick.
04:55Somebody to see her.
04:59I spoke to Zoe.
05:01She said she approved your request for a visit.
05:04She did.
05:05Are you going?
05:06Mm-hmm.
05:07Don't, please, Patrick.
05:09My son's dead, and I have to write his eulogy.
05:12I need to know the truth about who he was and what he did.
05:16Look, I know what you think of him.
05:19But I can't square that man with the son I raised.
05:23So I need to talk to Zoe, okay?
05:26What if it traumatises her in the process?
05:29Listen, I ain't looking to traumatise anybody.
05:30I 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.
05:39And the other truth is, my son didn't kill anybody.
05:42Your daughter did.
05:43Just promise me you won't tell her about Jasmine, because there's nothing she can do about it, and it will break her heart.
05:50Yeah.
05:50You want what's best for your daughter, I understand that.
05:54But her broken heart is no concern of mine.
06:07No kiss goodbye, then?
06:08Oh, I'm sorry.
06:09Look, I know you're upset about Nugget here, but don't cut me out, babe.
06:13We're in this together.
06:14Yeah, yeah, I know.
06:14I just thought the time, he'd be okay, but now I'm not sure.
06:19Yeah.
06:20We just need to get him out of this headspace.
06:22Baby.
06:23We should buy him a car.
06:25I mean, he'd love that.
06:26Massive distraction, and you could teach him how to drive.
06:30Father-son bonding time, get things back on track.
06:32Yeah.
06:32Yeah, I'll ask Graham something to say.
06:34Oh, yeah?
06:35Can I have a diamond necklace whilst you're at it?
06:37We're going to get through this, okay?
06:40You'll see.
06:41Yeah.
06:42It's just that I can see it in his eyes.
06:44He's in a really bad place.
06:46Yeah, and that's down to me.
06:48They're saying it down to you, okay?
06:49What happened to Nugget?
06:51That's Harry and Nicola's fault.
06:52They did this, and they're responsible.
06:57Yeah.
06:59See you later.
07:00Yeah.
07:01Yeah.
07:07Nigel?
07:12What are you doing?
07:13I'm getting married.
07:14I need to get ready with my best man.
07:18Nigel?
07:19What are you doing sneaking off?
07:22So, mate, why don't you head inside, yeah?
07:24Just head straight inside.
07:28He thinks he's getting married.
07:30Does she seriously think he's up to this?
07:32Look, Phil, the call from the care home could come any day now.
07:36But 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.
07:44Tell her that you'll be there.
07:50I've just been at his missing.
07:52Not missing anything.
07:53We're finished now.
07:54All done.
07:55Here it is.
07:55A bit of blue to bring out the dress and her eyes.
07:58Well, here, look.
07:58Blue, stick it yourself.
07:59No, no, no.
08:00I'll punch myself.
08:00Mum.
08:02Darling, you all right in your school?
08:03I've got a free.
08:04You all right?
08:05Have you and Zach had a falling out?
08:07No, can we talk?
08:08Nick!
08:09Look, darling, it's going to have to wait, all right?
08:11No, please, Mum.
08:12I've got an event starting in half an hour, all right?
08:14Just grab yourself a Coke, yeah?
08:16No problem.
08:17She wants a bigger stage.
08:19Not for me.
08:20Not for me.
08:20I just want to make sure that everybody can see this beautiful expression of love, Mum.
08:24Yeah?
08:25Then book the O2, because this is all I could get last minute.
08:28It's my shit, Nicola.
08:29Honestly, I can't thank you enough, really.
08:34Hiya, Linda.
08:42Oi!
08:44Nugget!
08:44That stock take should have taken ten minutes.
08:48Get your head in the game, yeah?
08:53He'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.
09:04Actually, you can.
09:07Anyway, look, I just...
09:09I wanted to say sorry for taking the mickey yesterday, but you do just make it so hard.
09:17Oh, hi, Vinnie.
09:19Could I have some paracetamol, please?
09:21I've got a banging head.
09:21I'm in a bit of a rush, too, so could you just stick it on my staff tab, please?
09:25Oh, I mean, ma'am, 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.
09:51I'm getting married.
09:56Where are you going?
09:57Oh, it's just, uh...
09:59I'm just going to 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, but...
10:24You know, seeing him like that, he...
10:26He don't even understand what he's doing.
10:28You sure that this is the right thing for him?
10:30A little corsage, darling.
10:34There you go.
10:36Oh, buttonhole.
10:37Go on, why not?
10:39Corsage, darling.
10:40Oh, Suki!
10:43Finny said you wanted to talk to me.
10:45Yeah, I'm late for a meeting.
10:47To 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
10:55and look me in the eye.
10:56And 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?
11:12Suki.
11:14Listen, 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.
11:30I don't feel very well.
11:31Do you want me to come with you?
11:32No.
11:33I thought you were all up for the vow renewal
11:36when we talked about it at Christmas.
11:38No one could have predicted that he'd go down here
11:40as quickly as he has.
11:42I'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.
11:48Well, why do you think he's here?
11:49He feels unsettled, you know?
11:51He 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.
12:09I 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.
12:18What 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!
12:28Listen, what if he...
12:29What if he wets himself?
12:31Oh.
12:32Now, what if he wets himself like he did before the film screening?
12:35Because you know that's a possibility, right?
12:37Listen, the man that turned up at my doorstep a little over a year ago,
12:44he wouldn't want this.
12:47He was prepared to kill himself,
12:51to keep his dignity.
12:52Now, we need to protect that man.
12:55I 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.
13:38You probably think I killed your son.
13:44I didn't.
13:46Do you believe me?
13:49I don't know what to believe.
13:51That is the reason why I'm here.
13:54You know, when I lost my son, Paul,
13:57man, it broke my heart.
14:00But at least I could understand, you know,
14:02the way he was,
14:04the company he kept.
14:05But with Anthony,
14:09I find it difficult to understand
14:12and to reconcile that loving boy I knew
14:18to the man everybody telling me that he was.
14:25So,
14:26it's the reason why I'm here to
14:28ask you to help me to understand.
14:32Do you really want to know the truth?
14:37Because
14:37I don't think it's going to make you feel any better.
14:42I just want to know my son.
14:43What are you looking at?
14:53That's Julie.
14:57We're getting married.
15:01And how do you, uh,
15:02how do you feel about that?
15:04Well, I feel, um,
15:07lucky.
15:08I mean, look at her.
15:09Well, you know, there'll be a lot of people there,
15:12but
15:12I'm just a bit worried that it might be, you know,
15:15a bit too much for you.
15:16We both are, me and Julie.
15:19She doesn't want to.
15:20No, no, she wants to, mate.
15:21It's just,
15:23well, we're not sure what's best for you.
15:26And that's all we want, you know,
15:27what'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.
15:35Getting 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
16:03so that he could get back in my life,
16:05even though it was falling apart.
16:08Is it possible that you
16:09could have misinterpreted his behavior?
16:13Was that before or after he attacked me?
16:18The last thing I remember
16:19was him attacking me, Patrick.
16:21The look on his face.
16:24He wanted to kill me.
16:27And then
16:27everything went blank.
16:29But I didn't kill him, Patrick.
16:34I can't deny that
16:36Anthony hurt me.
16:38But I did things
16:39that I ain't proud of.
16:42And maybe if I'd have
16:43brought him in
16:44instead of pushing him away,
16:47maybe things would have been different
16:48and
16:49that would have brought out
16:50the good in him
16:51because
16:51there was good in him, Patrick.
16:53Well,
16:58thank you for seeing me
17:00and
17:00thank you for
17:03telling me the truth
17:04and
17:04and for being as kind as you
17:07could be
17:08under the circumstances.
17:12I'm not going to take up
17:14any more of your time.
17:15Time ain't something
17:16I'm sure of in this place.
17:19How's Jasmine?
17:20Oh, as far as I know,
17:23she's well.
17:24I'm
17:24sure
17:25Kat will be able to tell you
17:27more than I can.
17:28Thanks.
17:33Miss, wait.
17:34It's going to start in a minute.
17:35I've been waiting for ages.
17:36Please, Mum,
17:37I need to talk to you.
17:39Okay.
17:39Okay.
17:44I overheard
17:45Matthew and Priya
17:46talking earlier.
17:48They were blaming you and Harry
17:49for what happened to Nugget.
17:51And I know
17:52you couldn't do something
17:53like that.
17:55But
17:55But what?
17:58What, you think
17:59your brother could?
18:00Is that it?
18:01Could what?
18:03Barney's got it in his head
18:04that we had something
18:05to do with what happened
18:06to Nugget.
18:06I heard Ravi and Priya
18:07say you were responsible,
18:08that's all.
18:09Yeah?
18:10You shouldn't believe
18:11everything you hear, darling.
18:12So you didn't do it?
18:14No.
18:15Of course not.
18:16Or get someone else
18:17to do it.
18:18Barney,
18:19how could you think
18:20such a thing?
18:21Do you think I did that?
18:23What, because of that
18:24beef I had between me and Ravi?
18:25Your brother had nothing
18:26to do with it
18:26and neither did I.
18:29Just tell him.
18:31Why not,
18:32Barney?
18:34Look me in the eyes
18:35and swear.
18:36Barney,
18:36he just
18:37told you.
18:39Swear to me
18:39you had nothing
18:40to do with it.
18:41I swear.
18:46Right.
18:47Can we put this stupid
18:48idea to bed now,
18:49please?
18:52Oh, come on,
18:53it's starting.
18:53Hi.
19:01Hi.
19:06Hello, everyone.
19:07Can I just,
19:08can I just have a quick word?
19:10Um,
19:10thank you all so much
19:11for being here.
19:12I really appreciate it.
19:14So,
19:15we're not going to wait
19:15for Nigel?
19:17Er,

19:23So,

19:24you all know,
19:25er,
19:26what Nigel's going through
19:27and, er,
19:28I thought that
19:29this was
19:30something that I could
19:31give him.
19:32You know,
19:32a special day,
19:33you know,
19:33something
19:34for him to draw on
19:36when things
19:37get harder.
19:39Erm,
19:40but, er,
19:42thinking it through,
19:43I don't know
19:44that it's what
19:45he really wants.
19:46Yes,
19:48I do.
19:52Aw,
19:53Nigel.
19:54Aw.
19:56Well done,
19:56Nigel.

19:58Nigel.
20:00So,
20:00erm,

20:06Oh,
20:06I don't remember
20:16saying this.
20:17Well,
20:17you were angry
20:19and frustrated
20:20and I said,
20:21write it down,
20:22get it all out.
20:23She suspended me.
20:24Well,
20:25you know,
20:25it might all work out
20:26for the best in the end.
20:28She'll reflect on the things
20:29that you've said
20:30and things will get better.
20:32She's not the reflective type,
20:33but B,
20:34she's a proud,
20:35vindictive type
20:36and me dragging up
20:37all of this stuff
20:39about her having a crush on me,
20:40I mean,
20:40she's never going to forgive me.
20:43Look,
20:43I'm so,
20:45so sorry,
20:45but what's done
20:46is done
20:47and, you know,
20:48maybe you'll get
20:48a new,
20:49better job.
20:50Did you want this to happen?
20:52No,
20:52of course not.
20:54Only you said
20:54it was your idea.
20:56I just wanted to help you
20:58and I think that
20:59Sookie should be held to account.
21:01But if you wanted to help me,
21:03you should have stopped me
21:03from sending this email.
21:05Obviously,
21:05you weren't as drunk as I was.
21:07Well,
21:07it's just you're a bit
21:08of a lightweight.
21:09That's...
21:10Are you blaming me for this?
21:13B,
21:13I have two kids,
21:16okay,
21:16and we're struggling
21:17to make ends meet.
21:18You might think
21:19I had a rubbish job
21:20and it's easy to find another one,
21:21but it wasn't
21:22and I can't.
21:23This is a real big problem.
21:25for me and my family.
21:33Do you remember
21:34the first time
21:34we saw each other?
21:36It was at school
21:37and Claire was
21:40having a
21:42a few problems
21:44and so I called you in
21:45for a chat.
21:48Didn't know what to expect.
21:50But it wasn't this,
21:51this shaggy,
21:55I heard koala bear
21:56that came through
21:59that door
21:59and then
22:01when you'd gone
22:02I thought about you.
22:06Oh.
22:11And I thought
22:12there's something
22:13about your face,
22:14your beautiful face.
22:18And
22:19I could tell
22:21that
22:21you
22:23were funny
22:24and
22:25and
22:25that you were kind.
22:30And I
22:30I thought
22:31I'd like to see
22:34that face again.
22:35Ha ha.
22:37So I did.
22:39Yeah.
22:41Um,
22:42you came in
22:43at the video store.
22:44Yes.
22:45That's right,
22:45sweetheart.
22:46I did.
22:47Ha ha.
22:49Yeah.
22:50I suddenly developed
22:51a love
22:52for French
22:53cinema.
22:54Mm-hmm.
22:57And I developed
22:58a love for you.
23:01And I've loved you
23:02ever since.
23:04After all these years.
23:08So

23:30what to say.
23:31Oh.
23:31It's OK, sweetheart.
23:32You don't have to say anything.
23:33It's OK.
23:34Why is everyone
23:39looking at me?
23:41I don't like it.
23:42It's OK.

24:49so, um...

24:54As soon as I wake up
24:56every night...
25:02You kiss it.
25:09What's wrong with you?
25:10You look like you've seen a ghost.
25:11Are your parents in?
25:13No.
25:14Why?
25:14I need to ask you something.
25:16When Nugget was attacked,
25:17did he remember anything about it at all?
25:19You know he didn't.
25:20Not even if it was just a man
25:21or 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?
25:37From the beach?
25:38Listen, uh...
25:39There you go.
25:41Bubbles.
25:42Bubbles.
25:42Got to be better than some stone,
25:43ain't it?
25:45Bill!
25:46Listen, stay where you are,
25:47all right?
25:47Don't move.
25:48I'll be right back.
25:49What, um...
25:51Am I staying here tonight?
25:53Yeah, you are, mate.
25:55Staying here.
25:55Back home.
25:56Where you belong.
25:58Bill!
25:58All right, all right.
25:59Be back in a minute.
26:01All right.
26:08Do you want these upstairs?
26:09Uh, no.
26:10Just leave them there, yeah?
26:11All right.
26:11I'll go grab the rest.
26:12All right.
26:13Cheers.
26:14Oh, come on.
26:15Hiya, Mark.
26:16You all right?
26:17I thought you was, uh...
26:18staying at the party?
26:19He likes his things around him.
26:20It makes him feel settled.
26:22Listen, what, uh...
26:24What I said earlier, you know,
26:26I was, uh...
26:27I was wrong.
26:27No, no.
26:28No, you weren't.
26:29You were just doing what you thought
26:31was best for him, you know.
26:32Like, so am I.
26:33There's no right or wrong.
26:35We're just trying to work it out together,
26:37aren't we?
26:38Yeah.
26:38There's, uh, there's something else
26:39I need to talk to you about as well.
26:40The, uh...
26:42The care home.
26:43No.
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
26:49and I think Nigel really enjoyed it.
26:50Yeah, yeah, he did.
26:51He's wiped out now, though.
26:52Right, so I'll just plug my pen
26:53and help him get his visit.
26:54No, no, that's all right.
26:54It's all right.
26:55I'll do it.
26:56I'll do it, yeah.
26:56You just go back to the party.
26:58Enjoy it.
26:58Are you sure?
26:59Yeah, yeah, it's fine.
27:01Oh, he was, um...
27:02I 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
27:10and he used to keep it on the side of the bath
27:11of the old house.
27:12His dad found it for him.
27:14Hmm.
27:14I don't know that it survived the move,
27:17though, I'm perfectly honest.
27:18After you.
27:20See ya.
27:24She actually seems happy to be back.
27:26Yeah, it's not about her or me for that matter.
27:29It's about Nigel, you know?
27:30He's back home here where he feels safe.
27:33So I guess it's a good job
27:34you didn't drag him off to Portugal then, isn't it?
27:36Someone done you a favour there.
27:38It was you.
27:40Well, you told her.
27:41I was...
27:44Ah...
27:47Tender, fire, sunshine
27:51Med with light
27:56My way to night
28:00I see
28:02You did fly
28:04You did fly
28:05You did fly
28:06You did fly
