00:02BOOM BASOMA
00:02BOOM BASOMA
00:15BOOM BASOMA
00:16Cheers, mate.
00:19Did you bring that off yourself, didn't you?
00:21It sounded like Lauren.
00:22She's convinced I staged the whole thing
00:24just so I could sell more motors.
00:26Has it worked yet?
00:27Hardly.
00:28Made up all weekend making painkillers.
00:32How have you been?
00:34Well, my thighs look like Caribbean sunsets,
00:37but you know me, I don't complain.
00:40You know the one memory that keeps coming back to me?
00:43You and me, back at the ambulance.
00:46Really? Not the eight flips and the car explosion?
00:50No, well, we never set a date, did we?
00:52What if we do lunch at George's later?
00:55I don't know, Max.
00:57We haven't exactly got the best track record, have we?
01:01Maybe it's just the best left in the moment.
01:04That sounds like you only like people this dangerous.
01:07To be honest of you,
01:09it's the only way I like anything.
01:15Right, well, I'm gonna book it for half twelve then.
01:18It'll be under Mr. and Mrs. Claus.
01:24Aye, well done!
01:25Brilliant!
01:27Well, well...
01:29Dude, you idiot!
01:31Hey!
01:32Hey!
01:34What's the matter with ya?
01:35Mate!
01:35I've just been in one smash.
01:37I don't want to be in another one.
01:38Do you know what I mean?
01:40Proper idiot.
01:41I don't believe this.
01:43Where have you been?
01:44What, your fingers broke?
01:45You couldn't even call us back?
01:48It was a surprise to get you cool.
01:51In a good way.
01:52And looking well.
01:55So, you've got to give me a hug.
01:58No, I'm not going to give you a hug.
02:00Right, well then, I'm off to the cafe for a cup of tea and a fryer.
02:29Any news on Robbie?
02:31Yeah, um, he's been assessed and admitted, so I mean, so if you're going to go see him later.
02:37What are you watching?
02:38Nothing.
02:39Why are you watching it for?
02:41Um, excuse me, unless you want me to confiscate it.
02:45He's a laughingstock now.
02:47You do understand your dad's not well.
02:50Well, he weren't ill when he was lying to me for months, making out he was my protector when you...
02:54And this is all because of his issues.
02:56Right?
02:57He's been fixated on safety because he never felt safe himself.
03:01Okay, Mum.
03:04If you say so.
03:21You said you needed to see me and you made it sound pretty urgent.
03:26I dropped a lot of things to be here.
03:27It is urgent.
03:29It's through with Nigel.
03:31They need your help.
03:32If they want me, they know how to get hold of me.
03:35Nigel's not good, Grant.
03:38Actually, he's much worse than...
03:42All right, what's up?
03:45You've missed a lot, Grant.
03:48Nigel's not really Nigel anymore.
03:51What do you mean?
03:52Well, he barely speaks.
03:53He can't take his meds without help.
03:57I could love him, but I think he's on his way out.
04:00There you go.
04:01Hope you choke on it.
04:04Is there a problem?
04:05Because you have been giving me attitude ever since I walked in.
04:09You don't recognise me, do you?
04:12His mum is my mum.
04:17Vicky.
04:18Sources are over there.
04:20Thank you for ruining my life.
04:26All right.
04:29Look, is Nigel up yet?
04:30Because it would be nice to see someone who's actually pleased to see me.
04:33Grant, he's not a Phil's.
04:35He's been in a care home for the last couple of months.
04:38Are you telling me Phil has dumped Nigel in a care home?
04:45Oh, Sherry!
04:46You've got a dirty laugh, you are.
04:49Yeah, what's up?
04:51How can you tell a joke like that in front of your kids?
04:53He's all right. He lives in a pub.
04:55You all right, Jasmine?
04:56Yeah.
04:56Listen, can you go in front of you?
04:57I've got to sort his Veruca out. He's got to swim in later.
04:59Yeah, I'm going to bomb everyone.
05:01No, you're not. You're going to swim nicely.
05:02Yes, yeah.
05:03So, cheers.
05:04All right, all your horses, everybody.
05:06Being as I'm king of the castle, I get to sit on the throne first.
05:09Funny this morning, aren't you?
05:10Well, Kat, you know, I've got to meet in the brewery with Doreen then, you know.
05:13She fancies me.
05:14You've been a bit jealous, so I've got to sort out my manscape, you know,
05:17because she loves me with my curly chest hair.
05:20Fee, what year are you living it?
05:21Oh, you can pipe down as well.
05:23The year is 1983 when things were much easier.
05:26Yeah, we didn't have mobile phones, we had breakfast telly, the pound coin was introduced,
05:29and music was much better.
05:31Yeah, we had Wham, we had Culture Club.
05:33Hey, who's our favourite?
05:34Katja Gooko.
05:35Oh, yeah.
05:36Katja.
05:36Tushasha, hush hush, awa.
05:39Tushasha, hush hush, awa.
05:41Hurry up, hurry up.
05:43I need to have a number two.
05:44I'm trying to keep my breakfast down in here now.
05:47Doing it?
05:47You don't even live here.
05:48Oi, Sasquatch, what are you doing in my kimono?
05:50A funny story.
05:51I'll tell you later when I made it out.
05:54Oh.
05:56Oh, my gosh.
05:58Hey, hey.
06:00Hello.
06:03You don't get to 90 without having a move or two.
06:07You hold on a second.
06:08He promised he'd look after him.
06:10Till the end, he said.
06:12Unbelievable.
06:13Now, hang on, listen, it wasn't like that, right?
06:15He just didn't have a choice.
06:21What are you doing here?
06:22Came to see Nigel.
06:23I didn't know you were here, too.
06:25Oh, yeah.
06:25I've been here for quite a while, actually.
06:27Look, I can't stand around talking.
06:28You've got to get to the hospital.
06:29Why?
06:30What's happened to you?
06:31It's Nigel.
06:31He fell in the middle of the night, and my phone was undead.
06:34I've just picked up for the message.
06:35Have you told Phil?
06:36Of course I've not told Phil.
06:37I mean, he's not going to do anything, is he?
06:39I'm going to get the bus, and I'll see you later.
06:40I'll drive you.
06:41Get him.
06:41What?
06:42No.
06:43I called you to talk to Phil.
06:45He stopped seeing Nigel, right?
06:46And you've got to have a word with him.
06:47The abandoned, our best mate.
06:49He's been keeping me in the dark.
06:51Why should I do anything for him?
06:52Because he's your brother.
06:57He's been keeping me in the dark.
06:57I'm sorry.
07:14What about you?
07:27Following the assessments, we believe you have complex post-traumatic stress disorder,
07:34or CPTSD.
07:37Throughout your life, you've experienced significant trauma,
07:43and it's now got to the point where it's difficult to control things.
07:47So I'm weak.
07:50Is that what you hear I'm saying?
07:53No control, no use, equals weak.
08:00Those terms, weak, no use, and they feel familiar.
08:08Did you perhaps hear them growing up?
08:15My dad didn't love me.
08:22Oh well.
08:24You have a harsh tone towards yourself.
08:32Are you looking forward to seeing your partner later?
08:35Priya, I understand you have children.
08:41I am...
08:44I need to keep a distance.
08:48I need to, er...
08:50protect them from me, because...
08:53because I'm... I'm... I'm poisoned.
08:56And they're... and they deserve to be happy.
09:00They deserve to be happy.
09:03You're aware of the life of the householder.
09:10This has nothing to do with God.
09:14Much of what's been preoccupying you.
09:18doing good.
09:20Being selfless, protecting others.
09:23It's central to the faith.
09:27Now most are shown those values by compassion and love within the family unit.
09:33Others aren't.
09:35Why, why, why do you, er, why do you keep going there?
09:40I, I blame myself.
09:41No one else.
09:43But you do acknowledge a problematic relationship with the paternal figures in your life.
09:49No, no, not anymore because they are dead.
09:59They're dead.
10:03Death often emphasizes the shadow.
10:07I can help build an understanding of who you are, Ravi, and how you got here.
10:14I understand it feels like a lot has been taken away.
10:18But my aim is to give you back control.
10:24So how about we both work together with that in mind?
10:46Have you been looking for a midnight snack in the dark again?
10:52I've got someone here who's going to tell you off about that.
10:58Well, sit with him, Grant.
11:04I'm sorry.
11:18I trust councillor to be Beale. We'll get your vote next week.
11:22You must be joking. I ain't going on no database.
11:26No, rest assured he is going to change the face of local politics.
11:30Well, he couldn't change a traffic light.
11:33Here, Bea. I reckon he should have his picture taken with him.
11:36Yeah, maybe Max's magic might rub off on that little...
11:39I think you'll find that Ian rubs off on his own magic. Thank you very much.
11:50Sorry you got booted to the back of the queue this morning.
11:52That's all right. Last one in, I suppose.
11:54There's no pecking order in this family.
11:57Three rules. Give it, take it, and have a good laugh.
12:01That's it.
12:18It's tough to see, isn't it?
12:21I can't believe it's him.
12:24I had this image in my head. Bumbling. Forgetful.
12:29But still, no, it's not that.
12:33The whole thing's just been brutal.
12:36So why has Phil been keeping me in the dark?
12:39No. No, you don't get to play that card, Grant.
12:43You've ignored all my calls.
12:47All right.
12:48I was worried.
12:50Worried what I was going to hear.
12:53When I got back to Portugal, it really hit me hard.
12:57What Phil went through.
13:01Sam, our brother wanted to end his life.
13:05And there was nothing I could do.
13:09I just think as a family, we're just not good at sharing things.
13:14Don't tell me something's happened to you.
13:17No.
13:20Oh, Julie. Oh, darling, come here.
13:26You know, when I got that message this morning,
13:30the first thing I thought of was I hoped he'd die.
13:33No. No, no, no, you don't mean that.
13:35You love him.
13:36He thinks it's smothering our love.
13:39You know, him, me, all of it.
13:42I just...
13:42Oh, I just can't do this anymore.
13:45Look, you're not on your own anymore.
13:48I'm going to take care of things then.
13:50You take a break with Sam.
13:53I'll go and sit with Nigel.
13:57Come on.
13:57Come on.
13:58It's too much.
14:05Oh.
14:10It is, it is.
14:12Um, what do you want?
14:14Uh, Bea thinks that we should get a photo together for the, you know,
14:17for the campaign socials.
14:19Yeah, it'd be great.
14:19The two heroes of Walford.
14:21Come on.
14:22Do we have some?
14:22Yes.
14:23It's totally non-negotiable.
14:24Now, if you could just stand together, stand together.
14:26Yeah.
14:26Hold them up, hold them up.
14:28Yes, that's it.
14:28Closer, closer.
14:30Smile.
14:31Like, think bosom buddies, okay?
14:37Look at this.
14:38Walford's John McLean.
14:40Have to break out the cape that you framed for Ollie,
14:42get you to wear it at breakfast.
14:43Oh, you've got a cape?
14:45Well, that would be brilliant.
14:46Go and get it.
14:47It was a joke, Bea.
14:49It's disappointing.
14:51All right.
14:52Oh, it's good.
14:53It's good.
14:54It's good.
14:54It's good.
14:54It's good.
14:55It's good.
14:57And how'd you find it more suffering amusing?
14:59Yeah, well, I haven't held back in criticizing you,
15:01so it's only fair that I say well done.
15:04You're finally making progress on the whole being a decent person thing.
15:08Well, I'll get a badge.
15:10Hi, Max.
15:12Sorry I'm late.
15:14You didn't stand me up, eh?
15:15Yeah, well, you know me.
15:16I should be late, as always.
15:18I should be late.
15:37Who did this to you, Nigel?
15:51Shall I get him for you?
15:54Yeah.
15:57Get him, Phil.
16:01Get him.
16:22Want a larder, please, James?
16:24You, uh...
16:26You've seen Julie?
16:27It's a chicken pie on today, as well.
16:28Yeah.
16:29Do you want chips, veg?
16:30Oi.
16:31Clough here, as I'm talking to you.
16:33But you care where Julie is, Phil, hmm?
16:40And I was wondering,
16:43have you been keeping my old man up to date with developments on Nigel?
16:46He's got nothing to do here.
16:50You got a sign to tell me, or...?
16:54Julie's at the hospital.
16:56Nigel took a tumble in the night.
17:06What were you waiting for? Go!
17:09Who's with him?
17:10Julie?
17:11Yeah.
17:14And Sam.
17:17I'll just get in the way.
17:18I'll leave him to hell.
17:20I'll be at the archers.
17:24He's here and he's here and I'll leave him to hell.
17:31He's here and he's here...
17:39Tony!
17:39He's here and he'll give us...
17:41He's here and he'll give you an opportunity.
