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.
03:31So...
03:32How did it go with Zoe?
03:33Don't know how to answer that, you know.
03:34She did talk to you.
03:35Where?
03:36She talked.
03:37And...
03:38Who?
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?
04:01Did it help?
04:03Yeah.
04:05It helped me to understand that my son was a very sick man,
04:09and he was utterly, utterly lost.
04:19I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that now, you know?
04:31Julie, um, you need to go.
04:47There's an ambulance outside, Philz.
04:50Something's happened to Nigel.
04:52What?
04:54What?
04:56Here, here.
05:01Only you could pull off getting a car in a day.
05:12Yeah, look, no.
05:14No more bullying a taxi after a big chop.
05:16I thought this was to help Nigel.
05:19Oh, yeah, it is, and he's gonna love it.
05:22Who's that?
05:24What, it's Avani?
05:26Avani?
05:28No, no, slow down.
05:30No, say that again.
05:31You're not making any sense.
05:33Say that again.
05:35Nigel!
05:38Nigel!
05:40Nigel, sweetheart, what's happened?
05:43Nigel, can you hear myself, sir?
05:45Yes, I'm sorry.
05:46What's happened?
05:52He was in the bath.
05:54He must have passed out or something.
05:56What?
05:57Where were you?
05:59Do you want to ride in the ambulance with him?
06:01Yes.
06:02Yeah, yeah.
06:03Julie can.
06:04That's his wife.
06:05Nigel's wife, Julie.
06:06You need to go.
06:08Nigel, I'm gonna be travelling with you, okay, sweetheart?
06:11You hear me now, John?
06:12I'm gonna be just on the front.
06:14I'm on my way.
06:18Come on, darling.
06:19Let's get you out.
06:20No, I need to speak to them.
06:21Look, Avani's called us.
06:22I know you think you know what they did, but this ain't the time or the place.
06:24I need to know now.
06:25Grab it, can you?
06:26You all right, darling?
06:27It's a you, then.
06:28Did you attack me?
06:29Why don't we all step into my office?
06:30Yeah?
06:31No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
06:32わ.
06:35You all right, darling?
06:37So you, then, did you attack me?
06:41Why don't we all step into my office?
06:44Yeah?
06:55Cole, come over here bit.
06:57All right, I'm guessing this confusion is because you've been talking to my youngest,
07:04because he was in here earlier, asking the exact same questions. Apparently, he overheard
07:09you two talking, and that's where this whole misunderstanding kicked off.
07:14Yeah, I was just telling your mum that I'd given the police their names, but it was just
07:19me throwing wood at the wall. That's all it was.
07:23Yeah, yeah, the police interviewed us, and we answered all their questions, told them
07:28where we were, they checked it out, and we were clean as a whistle. To be honest, I was
07:33a little bit insulted, Nugget. You're a kid. Who would hurt a kid like that?
07:40He would. I never touched you. And how angry you were with my dad, about the cold
07:49throw and the flat and everything that happened to your dad. Oh, I was. I didn't take it
07:56out on you. Barney must have thought he could have then.
07:58Yeah, well, Barney's going through a lot at the moment, Nugget. His dad's just been sent
08:02down and he's angry. He doesn't know what to do with it, so he's lashing out. And sometimes
08:08that means hurting the people that you love. Right, see? So it's all just been a big
08:15misunderstanding, alright? Let's get you home. Sorry to have bothered you.
08:21No, no, it's understandable. Look, Nugget, you have been through a huge trauma. Finding
08:28out what happened to you is part of the healing process, and I just, I really hope that one
08:34day you do find out. Cheers.
08:51Oh, Julie. How is he? Oh, they don't know yet. What happened? I don't know. I don't want
09:00to stay where he was, not to move. I went downstairs and sort out the bags. Right, and you went
09:05straight back up after I'd left? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, how is he? He's stable. Right, can I go
09:14and speak to him? He's sleeping now. He was panicking, so we gave him a sedative. Oh, right.
09:20Right, so does that mean I can't take him home tonight? We need to be satisfied all the
09:25water has left his lungs and there's no risk of aspiration pneumonitis. Sorry, what's that?
09:30It's when water enter the lungs, it can inflame them so they fill with fluid. But that's
09:34not very likely, though, is it? It can happen, especially with the near-fatal
09:38drowning. And he's particularly vulnerable to the effects of infection because of his
09:43dementia. Thank you. Can I take him home tomorrow, then? I think I should be clear.
09:49Your husband very nearly died, Mrs. Bates. So this really is the best place for him
09:54to be right now. Okay, thank you.
09:58Cheers, darling. Hey, hey, hey, listen, listen. Listen, just hang in there, okay?
10:19Listen, unless I know you haven't slept all night and that's why you need to get your head down.
10:24Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love you too, all right, bro? All right, take care. Bye.
10:30What's that mean? Well, it's Spencer. It's just found out that Vicky and Ross have got engaged and it's really tipped him over the edge.
10:42I mean, it sounds bad. I mean, really bad. Just... I'm just a bit worried he might do something stupid, you know?
10:51Did he say that? No. No, but I can tell by his voice, Katie just sounds really loud and I'm feeling...
10:56Honestly, I've never heard him like that. Just wish I could give him a big hug, you know?
11:01But what is he, I don't know, like 10,000 miles away from that? You should go to him.
11:05Oh, God. I can't just drop everything and fly halfway across the world.
11:09Listen, people go there to give a koala a hug. Oh, okay. I think Spencer's a bit more important than that, yeah?
11:14Go to him. What can I get you?
11:30You know you should be in there, don't you?
11:33Do what? There's nothing I can do.
11:37See? That's the trouble with men. You always think you've got to do something.
11:42Just sit with her. Support her.
11:46She don't need me, does she? She probably... probably blames me for what happened.
11:51Oh, why would she? That could have happened to anyone.
11:55You said you only left him on his own for a minute, right?
12:04Look, what happened has happened. You can't change it.
12:08Like it or not, you and Julie are a partnership.
12:13Like, Nigel's made you that.
12:15So...
12:17You need to be honest with her.
12:25I'm gonna go back and get a change of clothes for Julie, but...
12:29Sit with her.
12:31Talk to her.
12:33How are you feeling now?
12:47Much better.
12:49Good.
12:51You're gonna be okay, you know that, right?
12:53Because me and your dad...
12:55We're gonna make sure you are, yeah?
12:57You hungry?
12:58You're not cooking, are ya?
13:00Ugh!
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, pick 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.
13:18After everything you've been through.
13:19Seriously?
13:20So, can I drive it now?
13:22Not yet.
13:23You've got to wait until your provisional license comes through, so...
13:26No.
13:27Your dad will have to drive it.
13:28Till it comes.
13:29Sick.
13:34You know what you said before?
13:36About...
13:37I would've done more if it was a Barney who got hurt.
13:42You know that's not true.
13:43You nearly threw Barney off a bridge, Dad.
13:45Yeah, no, it was wrong.
13:47More than wrong.
13:49You see, son, the role models I had in my life when I was your age were Ranbir and Nish, and 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?
14:10Like...
14:15Go to prison.
14:17You know the lads I met inside, they had dads exactly the same.
14:22Dads who hurt them.
14:24And that made them...
14:27Go through life...
14:30Hating the world.
14:32And that cycle goes...
14:35On and on.
14:37Generation to generation.
14:41I don't want that for you.
14:46So I'm...
14:48I'm trying.
14:49Okay?
14:51I'm trying to be a better dad.
14:54Because I love you.
14:57I love you.
14:59Every bit.
15:00As much as your sister.
15:02I just want you to know that.
15:04Okay?
15:08Get under it, Dad.
15:09Yeah.
15:10One more.
15:12One more.
15:14Come on, let's check out your motor.
15:15Yeah?
15:16Yeah.
15:17Hell yeah.
15:18I didn't tell you the truth.
15:35I told him to stay where it was.
15:37I went downstairs and I...
15:39Talked to you.
15:41You left and then...
15:44Then I got distracted.
15:45It's...
15:48It's my fault.
15:54The paramedic said you got the water out of his lungs.
15:56You saved his life.
15:57What do I have to save his life?
15:58Would I if I'd done my job properly?
16:00And that's what he is to you now?
16:01Is it a job that he's doing?
16:02You know that.
16:03Ain't what he is to me.
16:04And all.
16:10I don't blame you.
16:11For what's happened.
16:12What happened to you could have happened to me.
16:18Having him on my own for these last few days.
16:20It's just...
16:22It's a lot.
16:24It's more than a lot.
16:25It's too much.
16:29The care home called...
16:32A place came up.
16:34What do you mean the cold? Cold when?
16:36Yesterday.
16:38Again the day.
16:40Just a moment.
16:43And...
16:44You didn't think to tell me.
16:45Yes.
16:46I tried to tell you.
16:48You said you didn't want to know.
16:54Go darling, all right?
16:55Yeah.
16:59Is there a problem?
17:00Yeah.
17:01What?
17:02Well she's managed to get honey suspended from her job, haven't she?
17:06Right.
17:07Well that's uh...
17:09The flight's booked.
17:10Right, so when you're leaving me and my tod again?
17:12Oh it's not going to be...
17:14For a few days yet.
17:16It's okay, I'll be honest, I'd love to have gone tomorrow but...
17:18The flight's a bit pricey.
17:19Apparently I need a visa.
17:21It'd be great if you could, you know, like teleport.
17:24He'll be there soon.
17:25Yeah.
17:26I've got Zoe's mates around him so he'll pull through.
17:28Yeah.
17:32Hello?
17:33This call is from a person currently in prison in England and Wales.
17:38You okay?
17:39Patrick went to see Zoe.
17:40I know he's told her about Jasmine.
17:42I know it.
17:44Zoe, are 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.
17:54I 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?
18:06So why would he want to come and see you?
18:08Chrissie.
18:11I mean he was always mad about her.
18:13What if they're back together?
18:14I mean what if she's just using him to play more sick games?
18:17I should say no, right?
18:19Mum?
18:21Right, right, you need to see him, yeah?
18:25If this is Jake you need to see him, right?
18:27Find out what Chrissie's up to.
18:29I told you I'm not doing anything that puts Jasmine at risk.
18:35Listen Zoe, Jasmine's gone.
18:38Well 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.
18:48But listen, if this is Jake you need to talk to him.
18:52Talk to him and it might be our only chance to find out where Jasmine is.
18:55Don't get anything out of him.
19:00Lord Annie knows what she said to him about Anthony.
19:04Well I expect she said what we think she would say.
19:07Thank you for watching Amir.
19:08I'll take over now.
19:09I don't know who that person is.
19:19Look, you 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.
19:30She did.
19:32She did.
19:33She tried to be kind.
19:37But the things he did to her, it makes me feel that I just don't know who Miss Sun is at all.
19:42It's like a stranger to me.
19:45Anthony was not a stranger.
19:51What 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.
20:09The only people who will be at Anthony's funeral are the people who love him.
20:13So forget everybody else.
20:16Write about the son you loved.
20:18About the little boy who delighted you.
20:22Write about the grown man who made you feel so proud.
20:43I didn't want you to think that I wasn't talking to you.
20:53Because that's how grievances grow and grow.
20:57And before you know it there's missiles, drones, blood on the streets, you know.
21:02I just wanted you to know that it doesn't need to be World War 3.
21:05Oh, thank you. And for what it's worth, you know, I'm really sorry that I encouraged you to write that.
21:13No. No 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?
21:24I left the till unattended, like an idiot.
21:27Don't do that. You know, you're always putting yourself down, honey.
21:31I mean, alright, you made a little mistake, but what Sookie did was so much worse.
21:35She bullied you and you called her out.
21:39And I so admire you for that.
21:42It took a lot of guts.
21:44I mean, maybe bringing up her crush on you went a tad overstepping the mark.
21:51Can you imagine her face when she read that?
21:59Does your Billy even approve of you talking to me?
22:02No.
22:05I think you're fine. He bought you that drink.
22:08Oh.
22:13I don't want one mistake to lead on to another, okay?
22:16So let's not fall out over this.
22:24Alright.
22:26Come on.
22:32Come in if you're coming in.
22:41A few weeks after we got together, we went out for a meal.
22:58And he looked at me and he said, you and me.
23:07It's meant to be.
23:10And 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.
23:23And that's why he found me.
23:24And that's why he found you.
23:26And...
23:28Maybe...
23:30That's why it's...
23:32You and me sat round his bed.
23:33Maybe I needed to find you.
23:34Maybe I needed to find you.
23:35For this moment.
23:36To stress test...
23:39The most important decision I'll ever have to make with a...
23:40An arrogant...
23:41Unbelievably annoying man.
23:42Unbelievably annoying man.
23:43Oh.
23:44Oh.
23:45Oh.
23:46You knew this day had come.
23:47You and me sat round his bed.
23:51Maybe I needed to find you.
23:54For this moment.
23:58To stress test...
24:01The most important decision I'll ever have to make with a...
24:05An arrogant...
24:07Unbelievably annoying man.
24:09You knew this day had come.
24:17When the place opened up.
24:19I suppose I was...
24:21Still finding it hard to...
24:23To leg out of him.
24:27Because you love him.
24:31Even if you...
24:33You'd never say as much.
24:35And...
24:40It's hard because...
24:42We still see flashes.
24:46Today...
24:49The vow renewal and...
24:51How happy he was and that clint in his eye.
24:55It's flashes.
25:01They're further apart every day.
25:03I just...
25:10Want...
25:11The best for him.
25:12And...
25:13I know you do too.
25:15And...
25:17Living on the square...
25:20Is not...
25:22What's best for him.
25:23Anymore.
25:26The...
25:29The fellow from the K-Rile.
25:30I don't care about.
25:33The message said that...
25:35He'd be there till late.
25:36So what do you think?
25:40It's amazing dad.
25:42What?
25:43And give it some.
25:45Yeah!
25:47That's what I'm talking about.
25:49Come here mate.
25:50Someone's got a heavy right foot.
25:52Yeah, he's inherited that from his mother.
25:54He killed us both when I was teaching that.
25:56Let's hope you're going to be a better student, yeah?
25:58Is this your new motor then?
26:00Lucky boy.
26:02Where'd you get it?
26:03Oh, I've got a few contacts in the train.
26:04Really?
26:05Yeah.
26:06Well...
26:07I'm new around here and I might need a new motor.
26:08Me and you should talk.
26:09Yeah.
26:10See you later.
26:11See you later, yeah?
26:12What?
26:13Yeah.
26:15Yeah.
26:16Look, I told you I'm working day and night to find him, but these all don't give much away.
26:22No, I understand the consequences, but it ain't going to come to that because I'm going to find him.
26:27Okay?
26:28Yes, we've been thinking, um, about your offer of a place for my husband and, um,
26:57we've made a decision.
27:01No, that would be me and Phil Mitchell, Nigel's best friend,
27:06who's been caring for him a lot.
27:09Yeah, so we've made the decision together.
27:14We'd like to accept the place.
27:16Please.
