00:00You lied to me, you looked me in the eye and you said it, weren't you?
00:23Because I knew you'd react like this. Only now, I thought this all worked out, maybe you'd thank me.
00:34Come on Phil, you know. Sometimes you've got to be outside of a situation to read it right.
00:39You taking off like that, all the repercussions, they weren't in your best interest.
00:43Don't try and mug me off. You wanted me to help you find that grass.
00:47You know, I was all ready to take off at Portugal, but you, you made sure I stayed here.
00:51It's exactly what you're doing, isn't it? Not telling them about the call from the care home.
00:54Making sure Nigel sticks around.
00:56You know what, I'm struggling.
00:58I'm struggling here to see what I do and what I don't do is any of your business.
01:04There he is.
01:06That's the Uncle Phil I've heard so much about.
01:09You know, I'd love to see a little bit more of that.
01:12You think Nigel's a distraction? Hmm? A distraction?
01:16You want me here, focusing on, on digging you out of the hole you got yourself in.
01:21Someone's got to be looking out for your image, Phil.
01:24A man like you should be busting heads. Not giving your mate a bath.
01:29Nigel.
01:30Nigel!
01:31Nigel!
01:32Nigel!
01:35No!
01:36No!
01:37No!
01:38No!
01:39No!
01:40No!
01:41No!
01:42I can't just sit there saying nothing. You came here, you asked her why I remembered, so why did you do that?
01:47I don't know, I just, when I saw you this morning with your dad, I could see how much you were hurting and I wanted to help.
01:54No.
01:55No, you had something to say.
01:57Do you know who did this to me?
01:59Why would he know that?
02:00You don't know the type of person who would do something like that.
02:07Your brother.
02:09Did Harry attack me?
02:11Why would Harry attack you?
02:12Because he got beef with dad, innit? The whole thing with Kojo and the flat.
02:16So was it him Barney?
02:18I don't know. I asked him, he said no.
02:21You didn't believe him?
02:23You asked if I remembered if it was a man or a woman who attacked me.
02:28Your brother.
02:32Your mum.
02:34I asked them both. They denied it.
02:37Yeah? Let's see what they say when I ask them.
02:40Soon.
02:41Soon.
02:42Don't leave me.
02:43You stay with me.
02:44Do you hear me?
02:45Don't look right.
02:46Well I've got to get the water out.
02:47I've got to get the water out.
02:48Let's put him on his side.
02:49What?
02:50Put him on his side.
02:52Then what?
02:53He's back.
02:57Hit him harder.
02:58Hold on.
02:59Hold on.
03:01What?
03:02You called an ambulance?
03:03You called an ambulance with her?
03:05I thought I lost him.
03:07I thought I lost him.
03:08I thought I lost you.
03:19Hiya.
03:21I thought Yolandi asked me to stay here while you were out.
03:25Raymond, darling.
03:26Why don't you head back home?
03:27Okay?
03:28I'll tell Jack that I'll be back soon.
03:29You're a good boy, you know that.
03:30Thank you, Grandad.
03:31Hmm.
03:32Hmm.
03:33Hmm.
03:34So, how did it go with Zoe?
03:35Don't know how to answer that, you know.
03:36She did talk to you.
03:37Where?
03:38She talked.
03:39And?
03:40Who?
03:41Who?
03:42Who?
03:43Who?
03:44Who?
03:45Who?
03:46Who?
03:47Who?
03:48Who?
03:49Who?
03:50Who?
03:51Who?
03:52Who?
03:53Who?
03:54Who?
03:55Who?
03:56Who?
03:57Who?
03:58Who?
03:59Who?
04:00Who?
04:02Did it help?
04:03Yeah.
04:06It helped me to understand that my son was a very sick man and he was utterly, utterly lost.
04:20I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that now, you know.
04:23...made effective, right?
04:24You're not sure.
04:28You do.
04:45Julie, you need to go.
04:47There's an ambulance outside, Philz.
04:50Something's happened to Nigel.
04:51Oh, what?
04:55What?
04:55Yeah, here.
05:09Only you could pull off getting a car in a day.
05:14No more bullying and taxing after a big chop.
05:17I thought this was to help Logan.
05:19Oh, yeah, it is.
05:20And he's gonna love it.
05:21Oh, who's that?
05:22Oh, it's Avani.
05:24Avani?
05:26No, no, no, slow down.
05:29No, say that again.
05:30You're not making any sense.
05:31Say that again.
05:32Nigel!
05:33Nigel!
05:34Nigel!
05:36Nigel!
05:37Nigel!
05:38Nigel!
05:39Sweetheart, what's happened?
05:42There's no time we're out of here.
05:43Nigel, can you hear him, sir?
05:57What's happened?
05:58Do you want to ride in the ambulance with him?
06:01Yes.
06:02Yeah, yeah, Julie.
06:02That's his wife.
06:04Nigel's wife, Julie.
06:05You need to go.
06:07Nigel, I'm going to be travelling with you, okay, sweetheart?
06:11You hear me, Nigel?
06:13I'm going to be just in the front.
06:18Well, I'm on my way.
06:22Come on, darling.
06:23Let's get you out.
06:24No, I understand.
06:25Look, Avani's called us.
06:26I know.
06:26You think you know what they did?
06:28But this ain't the time or the place.
06:29I need to know now.
06:31Ravi, can you...
06:32You all right, darling?
06:36So you, then?
06:38Did you attack me?
06:41Why don't we all step into my office?
06:44Yeah?
06:55Cole, come over here.
06:55All right, I'm guessing this confusion is because you've been talking to my youngest, because
07:04he was in here earlier, asking the exact same questions.
07:06Apparently, he overheard you two talking.
07:07Apparently, he overheard you two talking, and that's where this whole misunderstanding kicked
07:13off.
07:14Yeah, yeah.
07:15Yeah, I was just telling your mum that I'd given the police their names, but it was just me throwing
07:19wood at the wall.
07:21Yeah, that's all it was.
07:22Yeah.
07:23Yeah.
07:24Yeah, the police interviewed us, and we answered all their questions, told them where we were,
07:28they checked it out, and we were clean as a whistle.
07:30Well...
07:31To be honest, I was a little bit insulted, Nugget.
07:35You're a kid.
07:37Who would hurt a kid like that?
07:40He would.
07:41I never touched you.
07:45I know how angry you were with my dad, about the cultural and the flirt and everything
07:51that happened to your dad.
07:53Oh, I was.
07:55I didn't take it out on you.
07:57Barney must have thought he could have then.
07:58Yeah, well, Barney's going through a lot at the moment, Nugget.
08:01His dad's just been sent down, and he's angry.
08:04He doesn't know what to do with it, so he's lashing out.
08:07And sometimes, that means hurting the people that you love.
08:12Right, see?
08:13So it's all just been a big misunderstanding, all right?
08:17Let's get you home.
08:20Sorry to have bothered you.
08:21No, no, it's understandable.
08:23Look, Nugget, you have been through a huge trauma.
08:29Finding out what happened to you is part of the healing process,
08:31and I just, I really hope that one day you do find out.
08:38Cheers.
08:53Oh, Julie.
08:55How was he?
08:56Oh, they don't know yet.
08:58What happened?
08:58I don't know.
08:59I don't want to stay where he was, not to move.
09:02I went downstairs and sort out the bags.
09:04Right, and you went straight back up after I'd left?
09:07Yeah.
09:07Yeah.
09:10Oh.
09:12How is he?
09:13He's stable.
09:14Right, can I go and speak to him?
09:15He's sleeping now.
09:17He was panicking, so we gave him a sedative.
09:19Oh.
09:20Right, so does that mean I can't take him on tonight?
09:22We need to be satisfied all the water has left his lungs,
09:25and there's no risk of aspiration pneumonitis.
09:28Sorry, what's that?
09:29It's when water enter the lungs, it can inflame them so they fill with fluid.
09:33That's not very likely, though, is it?
09:35It can happen, especially with the near-fatal drowning.
09:39And he's particularly vulnerable to the effects of infection because of his dementia.
09:44Can I take him home tomorrow, then?
09:45I think I should be clear.
09:49Your husband very nearly died, Mrs. Bates.
09:52So this really is the best place for him to be right now.
09:57Okay, thank you.
10:10Cheers, darling.
10:13Hey, hey, listen, listen.
10:16Listen, you just hang in there, okay?
10:19Listen, at least I know you haven't slept all night,
10:21and that's why you need to get your head down.
10:24Yeah.
10:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:26Listen, I love you too, all right, bro?
10:28All right, take care.
10:29Bye.
10:32What's that mean?
10:34Well, it's Spencer.
10:35It's just found out that Vicky and Ross have got engaged,
10:39and it's really tipped him over the edge.
10:42I mean, it sounds bad.
10:43I mean, really bad.
10:47Just, you know, I'd just be worried
10:49he might do something stupid, you know?
10:51Did he say that?
10:52No.
10:52No, but I can tell by his voice, Katie,
10:54it just sounds really loud.
10:56Honestly, I've never heard him like that.
10:59Just wish I could give him a big hug,
11:00you know, but what is he?
11:01I don't know, what, 10,000 miles away?
11:02You should go to him.
11:05Oh, I can't drop everything
11:07and fly halfway across the world.
11:08Listen, people go there to give a koala a hug.
11:11Oh, okay.
11:11I think Spencer's a bit more important than that, yeah?
11:14Go to him.
11:15You know you should be in there, don't you?
11:31Do what?
11:35There's nothing I can do.
11:37See, that's the trouble with men.
11:39You always think you've got to do something.
11:42Just sit with her.
11:44Support her.
11:46She's like me, mate, does she?
11:48She probably blames me for what happened.
11:51Oh, why would she?
11:53That could have happened to anyone.
11:56You said you only left him on his own for a minute, right?
11:58Look, what happened has happened.
12:06You can't change it.
12:10Like it or not, you and Julie are a partnership.
12:13Like, Nigel's made you that.
12:15So, you need to be honest with her.
12:25I'm going to go back and get a change of clothes for Julie,
12:28but sit with her.
12:31Talk to her.
12:45How are you feeling now?
12:47Much better.
12:49Good.
12:50You're going to be okay, you know that, right?
12:53Because me and your dad, we're going to make sure you are, yeah?
12:57You hungry?
12:58You're not cooking, are you?
13:02No, I think we've had enough drama for today, don't you?
13:05Yeah.
13:06Why don't you and your dad take a drive down the high street,
13:08pick something up?
13:09Well, why do I have to go?
13:10Well, I thought you might want to check out your new ride.
13:14Yeah.
13:15Your mum and me thought you deserved a present
13:17after everything you've been through.
13:19Seriously?
13:21So, can I drive it now?
13:23Not yet.
13:24You've got to wait until your provisional license comes through,
13:26so your dad will have to drive it
13:28until it comes.
13:30Sick.
13:34You know what you said before?
13:36About
13:37I would have done more if it was a barney who got hurt.
13:42You know that's not true.
13:43You nearly threw a barney off a bridge, Dad.
13:45Yeah, no, it was wrong.
13:47More than wrong.
13:48You see, son, the role models I had in my life
13:53when I was your age
13:55were Rambeer and Nish,
13:58and they were both violent men.
14:02And that made me grow up angry.
14:05And do a lot of things I shouldn't have.
14:09Like what?
14:14Like, go to prison.
14:17You know the lads I met inside,
14:18that they had dads exactly the same.
14:22Dads who hurt them.
14:24And that made them
14:27go through life
14:29hating the world.
14:33And that cycle goes
14:34on and on,
14:37generation to generation.
14:40I don't want that for you.
14:45So, I'm...
14:47I'm trying.
14:48I'm trying to be a better dad.
14:54Because I love you.
14:57I love you.
14:59Every bit as much as your sister.
15:02I just want you to know that.
15:04Okay?
15:04Come on, let's check out your motor.
15:15Yeah?
15:15Yeah.
15:16Oh, yeah.
15:16Yep.
15:17I didn't tell you the truth.
15:32I told her to stay where it was.
15:36So, I went downstairs and I talked to you.
15:40You left and then, uh...
15:44Then I got distracted.
15:45It's...
15:47It's my fault.
15:53The paramedic said you got the water out of it as long as you saved his life.
15:56All I'm about to say is like, would I, if I'd done my job properly?
16:00That's what he is to you now.
16:01Is it a job that he's doing?
16:02You know that ain't what he is to me.
16:04At all.
16:04I don't blame you for what's happened.
16:14What happened to you could have happened to me.
16:18Having him on my own for these last few days, it's just...
16:22It's a lot.
16:24It's more than a lie.
16:24It's too much.
16:28The, uh, the care uncle, uh...
16:32A place came up.
16:34What do you mean, the cold, cold when?
16:36Yesterday.
16:38Again today.
16:40Just a moment.
16:42And you didn't think to tell me?
16:45Yes, I tried to tell you.
16:47You said you didn't want to know.
16:54Good darling, all right?
16:55Yeah.
16:59Is there a problem?
17:00Yeah.
17:00What?
17:01Well, she's managed to get honey suspended from her job.
17:04All right, well, that's, uh, the flight's booked.
17:10All right, so when you're leaving me and my Todd again?
17:12Oh, well, it's not going to be, well, a few days yet.
17:15It's a cow, to be honest, I'd love to have gone tomorrow, but the flight's a bit pricey.
17:19Apparently I need a visa.
17:21It'd be great if you could, you know, like, teleport.
17:23He'll be there soon.
17:24Yeah.
17:25He's all right.
17:25He's got his mates around him, so he'll pull through.
17:27Yeah.
17:32Hello?
17:32This call is from a person currently in prison in England and Wales.
17:37You're okay?
17:39Patrick went to see Zoe.
17:40I know he's told her about Jasmine.
17:42I know it.
17:44Zoe, you all right?
17:45I'm fine.
17:46You know Patrick came to see me today.
17:50Listen, Zoe, I tried to persuade him not to.
17:53I think it was fine in the end.
17:56There's someone else who wants to visit.
17:58Jake Moon.
18:00Jake?
18:01No, it can't be.
18:03Elvis convinced he's dead.
18:04I know, but what if he ain't?
18:06Sorry, what?
18:06Why would he want to come and see you?
18:09Chrissie.
18:10I mean, he was always mad about her.
18:12What if they're back together?
18:13I mean, what if she's just using him to play more sick games?
18:17I should say no, right?
18:19Mum?
18:21Right, right.
18:21Right, you need to see him, yeah?
18:25If this is Jake, you need to see him, right?
18:27And find out what Chrissie's up to.
18:28I told you, I'm not doing anything that puts Jasmine at risk.
18:34Listen, Zoe, Jasmine's gone.
18:37Well, where is she?
18:40I mean, are you saying she's gone back to Chrissie?
18:43Why would she do that?
18:44She said she was scared of her.
18:46You know how persuasive Chrissie can be, but listen, if this is Jake, yeah, you need to talk to him.
18:51Talk to him, and it might be our only chance to find out where Jasmine is.
18:54Don't get anything out of him.
19:00Lord, Annie knows what she said to him about Anthony.
19:03Well, I expect she said what we think she would say.
19:06Thank you for watching, Amir.
19:08I'll take over now.
19:09Yeah.
19:09All right.
19:10I don't know who that person is.
19:20Look.
19:22You don't need to take what Zoe said as gospel.
19:25She was never going to have anything good to say about him.
19:28Oh, she did.
19:31She did.
19:33She tried to be kind.
19:36But the things he did to her, it makes me feel that I just don't know who my son is at all.
19:43It's like a stranger to me.
19:47Anthony was not a stranger.
19:48What Zoe knows of him is what Zoe knows.
19:54But what you know is what you know.
19:57And you have known him from birth.
20:02Look.
20:02The only people who will be attending his funeral are the people who will love him, so forget everybody else.
20:15Write about the son you loved.
20:18About the little boy who delighted you.
20:21Write about the grown man who made you feel so proud.
20:25I didn't want you to think that I wasn't talking to you.
20:52Because that's how grievances grow.
20:55It will grow.
20:56And before you know it, there's missiles, drones, blood on the streets, you know.
21:01I just wanted you to know that it doesn't need to be World War III.
21:05Oh, thank you.
21:07And for what it's worth, you know, I'm really sorry that I encouraged you to write that.
21:12No.
21:13No one forced me.
21:15It was a combination, wasn't it, of alcohol and perimenopausal fog brain.
21:21This is how it all started, wasn't it?
21:23I left the till unattended, like an idiot.
21:26Don't do that.
21:27You know, you're always putting yourself down, honey.
21:31I mean, all right, you made a little mistake, but what Sookie did was so much worse.
21:35She bullied you and you called her out, and I so admire you for that.
21:41It took a lot of guts.
21:44I mean, maybe bringing up her crush on you went a tad, overstepping the mark.
21:50Can you imagine her face when she read that?
21:59Does your Billy even approve of you talking to me?
22:04No.
22:05I think you're fine.
22:06He bought you that drink.
22:08Oh.
22:08I don't want one mistake to lead on to another, okay?
22:16So let's not fall out over this.
22:24All right?
22:24Yeah.
22:26All right.
22:26Come on.
22:26Come in if you're coming in.
22:42A few weeks after we got together, we went out for a meal, and he looked at me, and
23:02he said, you and me, it's meant to be, and I laughed.
23:12I didn't believe in stuff like that.
23:15But he did.
23:18He used to say, you find the people you need in your life.
23:26That's why he found me.
23:32And that's why he found you.
23:38And maybe that's why it's you and me sat round his bed.
23:50Maybe I needed to find you for this moment.
23:55To stress test.
24:01The most important decision I'll ever have to make with an arrogant, unbelievably annoying man.
24:14You knew this day had come?
24:17When the place opened up?
24:19I suppose I was still finding it hard to leg out of him.
24:23Because you love him.
24:31Even if you'd never say as much.
24:39And it's hard because we still see flashes.
24:44To tell you, the vow renewal and how happy he was and that clint in his eye.
24:55Some flashes.
25:01They're further apart every day.
25:02I just want the best for him.
25:11And I know you do too.
25:14And living on the square
25:17is not what's best for him anymore.
25:23The, uh, the fellow from the carer arm.
25:32The message said that he'd be there till late.
25:36So what do you think?
25:52It's amazing, Dad.
25:53What?
25:54I'll give it some.
25:54I'll give it some.
25:55I'll give it some.
25:56Yeah!
25:57Ha ha ha!
25:58That's what I'm talking about.
25:59Come here, mate.
26:00Someone's got a heavy right foot.
26:01Yeah, he's inherited that from his mother.
26:02He killed us both when I was teaching that.
26:03Let's hope you're going to be a better student, yeah?
26:04Is this your new motor then?
26:05Yeah, we're there.
26:06Lucky boy.
26:07Where'd you get it?
26:08Oh, I've got a few contacts in the trade.
26:09Really?
26:10Yeah.
26:11Well, I'm new around here and I might need a new motor.
26:12Me and you should talk.
26:13Yeah.
26:14See you later.
26:15See you later, yeah?
26:16What?
26:17Yeah.
26:18Look, I told you I'm working day and night to find him, but
26:20these all don't give much away.
26:22I don't know.
26:23Yeah.
26:24What?
26:25What?
26:26Yeah.
26:27Look, I told you I'm working day and night to find him, but
26:30these all don't give much away.
26:31What?
26:32What?
26:33What?
26:34What?
26:35What?
26:36No, I understand the consequences, but it ain't going to
26:39come to that, because I'm going to find him, okay?
26:42Yes, we've been thinking about your offer of a place for my
26:55husband, and we've made a decision.
27:00No, that would be me and Phil Mitchell, Nigel's best friend.
27:04who's been caring for him a lot.
27:08Yet so we've made the decision together.
27:13We'd like to accept the place, please.
