00:20Are you going to eat that?
00:25Oh, come on, Phil, this is stupid.
00:27You can't just sit here all day and...
00:31Look, if you don't think Nigel needs to, what about Julie?
00:34I'm sure she could do with some support right now.
00:37Grant's here. Hey.
00:39Then do something for a change.
00:40Oh, honestly, the pair of you just need your heads banging together.
00:55Morning, Mrs Bates.
00:58You been here all night?
01:00Yeah.
01:01Then I said it'd be OK.
01:06Not a very good one, though, have you, love?
01:10Hey?
01:14This is breathing.
01:15It seems to be getting worse.
01:21The antibiotics, they're not working, are they?
01:24I'm afraid not.
01:26Maybe we could take a step outside.
01:28No, I'm not leaving him.
01:30I know what you're going to say.
01:32I'm not wasting one single precious moment with him.
01:41It's time to stop, isn't it?
01:47We could try a different course.
01:50What, you wouldn't recommend it?
01:53Nigel's very frail.
01:56His chances of surviving...
01:57It's OK, Doctor.
01:58You don't need to spell it out.
02:02Only this was coming.
02:11No matter how strong the spirit,
02:15there's only so much a body can take.
02:30You make him comfortable.
02:33And you make sure he's not in any pain.
02:36Or discharge him back to the care home.
02:39They're well-versed in end-of-life care.
02:55It's time to go.
03:04He's your brother.
03:05Aren't you worried about him?
03:07Not as much as I am about Nigel, Julie.
03:09I don't see what the problem is
03:11if he reckons he's said his goodbyes.
03:13Go on.
03:14When did you get him?
03:16You come see Nigel, huh?
03:18Amongst other things.
03:19Go on, just get back over there.
03:21And do what?
03:22Put him in a headlock
03:23and drag him up the hospital
03:24so he's feeling bad.
03:26Well, join the club.
03:27My oldest mate in the world
03:29is laying there struggling for every breath
03:31and there's nothing I can do.
03:31I know, I know.
03:32And I'm not saying it's easy for you and all.
03:34Julie!
03:35What?
03:38Hang on.
03:38Just calm down.
03:46Shh.
03:53Oh.
03:55Oh.
04:10What are you doing here?
04:12What? Can I ask you the same question?
04:14What is my house?
04:16I thought you was on his test drive.
04:18Yeah, but the bloke didn't show up, so I just thought I'd come and put a wash on him.
04:22Why am I even explaining myself to you? This is my house.
04:25What are you doing here?
04:27Just come to look for that log book, you know, for the blue hatchback.
04:31I thought you might have brought it home.
04:33That was in the file.
04:35Oh, yeah.
04:36How did you get in, anyway?
04:41What was that?
04:42Eh?
04:44Please tell me you have not got some trollop in there.
04:46No, of course not, no.
04:49That's a rat!
04:51I saw it in the kitchen, yeah, I chased it into there.
04:54Don't think I can get out of the door closed.
04:56The size of it is massive.
04:58Oh!
04:59Oh, no!
05:00Just do something about it then!
05:01Don't have to stand there!
05:03Get a trap or something!
05:05Yeah.
05:06Yeah.
05:07Yeah.
05:17So you'll be there, right?
05:19Of course.
05:19Sixth face sharp.
05:20And remember, not a word to mind.
05:22No, no.
05:22Is she still up there?
05:24I thought Zoe was going to keep her away.
05:25Yeah, she's meeting her in the cafe.
05:27About 15 minutes ago.
05:29Nan, what are you doing?
05:30Zoe's waiting!
05:32Keep your ear on, I'm coming!
05:36Uh, so, word's out, so unless you need me for anything else?
05:38No.
05:40Actually, this place needs a bit of lively nap, so I was thinking...
05:43Yeah, I don't think that's a good idea, Jess.
05:44Huh?
05:45Look, we all know Moe loves a stripper here, but...
05:50There's hot body and a woman our age.
05:52It's a lethal combination.
05:53Could kill on me.
05:54Okay.
05:54Actually, uh, Shrimpy is doing the entertainment,
05:57and I just need you to pick up some balloons.
05:59Shrimp.
06:00I just want to know you've got Dan, that's all.
06:02Oh, what?
06:02So, crime watch is more important than your own granddaughter.
06:05It's to fry up in a cafe.
06:06Anyway, beggars can't be choosers.
06:09Right.
06:10So grateful.
06:11All right, everyone.
06:12I have some space.
06:13Right.
06:15Mum?
06:16Are you going to visit Dad today?
06:19Um, not today.
06:21Why?
06:22Well, the doctor just reckons he might need a bit of space, doesn't he?
06:27Look, he's in safe hands, okay?
06:29I promise you everything's going to be all right.
06:32In the meantime, we just need to get on the best we can.
06:35You guys for college, and me making enough to pay the bills.
06:39You're going to be okay, right?
06:42Yeah, of course.
06:44You might just need to tighten our bills.
06:47Look, just a bit, okay?
06:49I've got everything under control.
06:52Oh, there she is.
06:54Employee of the month.
06:56Two break finished ten minutes ago.
06:58Maybe I should just be grateful you're not writing off more of my motors or trying to kill me.
07:02Don't talk to her like that, yeah?
07:03Look, it wasn't her fault.
07:04No, no, he's right.
07:06Sorry.
07:06I just got caught up.
07:09Don't worry.
07:10I'll see us right.
07:21Treat yourself, are you?
07:23It's all right for some.
07:25That door had no handle on it.
07:27I've been stuck in that cupboard.
07:30It's not funny, Max.
07:31If I hadn't found a screwdriver down the back of the washing machine, I'd still been in there.
07:34Oh, come on.
07:35Where's your sense of humor gone?
07:36In that cupboard.
07:38Not with any shred of dignity.
07:40I mean, it's enough you calling me a rat.
07:43I heard what Lauren said.
07:44Yeah, well, she would have said a lot more, wouldn't she, if she got the door open?
07:47Yeah, we let her.
07:48I don't want to be your dirty little secret.
07:51If you're really serious about this...
07:53I said I am, didn't I?
07:55We agreed, shouldn't I?
07:56What, do you really think we can hide it?
07:58I mean, it's been less than a week and already...
08:00We're just going to have to be more careful, aren't we?
08:04Lighten up.
08:06Have a little gnaw on there.
08:07Of course.
08:16So, has he woken up at all?
08:19No.
08:22We're not sitting here.
08:23It's like yesterday.
08:25They said there's no, erm...
08:28Well, they don't expect him to, but there's no hard and fast drill, so...
08:34You'd think I'd be ready.
08:37It's not like I didn't know this was coming.
08:42So, have you spoken to Clare?
08:45Yeah, I've left her a message, but I don't know whether she'll want to come out.
08:48And, erm, I can't get hooked of Josh, cos, erm...
08:52He's, er...
08:52He's in China with work, I think.
08:56Well, you look knackered.
08:58Why didn't you go and get yourself some air?
08:59I don't want to leave him.
09:01Look, he ain't going anywhere.
09:02Not without you.
09:03He wouldn't dare.
09:05And, er...
09:06I haven't had a chance to chat with him.
09:09And there are some stories that are not fit for your ears.
09:13You...
09:14You grab yourself a coffee, get something to eat.
09:18Yeah.
09:19Thanks.
09:19I'll take five minutes and, erm...
09:22I'll go and get changed.
09:27You do think I've done the right thing?
09:28I'll take one.
09:49Hello?
09:55How'd you get it?
09:58Sam, give me a key.
10:00Why are you sitting here in the dunk?
10:03Some of the nagging's already given me an NX, have you?
10:06Hang on about me visiting Nigel Dunk, because Nigel...
10:11Nigel's already gone.
10:13Has he done?
10:15I mean...
10:17He mentions your name to Grant.
10:20What?
10:21Who told you that?
10:22Grant.
10:24What I'm saying is that he's still in there somewhere.
10:30It's just words, you know? It's just words. It don't mean anything.
10:33That's...
10:34That's even though it's true.
10:36He loves sticking the night bin, doesn't he?
10:38He reckons I've not done enough for his mate. His mate!
10:41Yeah, well, let's see how he's doing in a couple of months' time.
10:44That's if he's still around, yeah?
10:47Yeah, well, there won't be no need for that.
10:51They're stopping Nigel's treatment, Phil.
10:55That's what I've come to tell you.
10:57I don't know the ins and outs, but...
10:59The doctor spoke to Julie and...
11:07Phil, you need to go.
11:10Listen...
11:12When I had to say goodbye to my Lola...
11:18It was the hardest thing that I've ever had to do.
11:25But...
11:25I do feel better for it down the road.
11:28You know what I mean?
11:29I told you I'm done, Billy, alright?
11:30So just... just get out, go.
11:32Please, Phil, just take...
11:33Just go!
11:34Go, Billy, get out, go!
11:36Do you understand?
11:56You always were a big kid.
11:59Do you remember when you super glued that coin to the pavement?
12:05Big Ron needed his back in trying to lift that slab up.
12:09And you came into the Vic later on.
12:12I shortchanged you.
12:14You asked for your money.
12:15And I gave you the slab with the coin still stuck to it.
12:23Oh, come on, Nigel.
12:26Throw me a bone here, mate.
12:29You know, I was never any good at small talk.
12:31No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
12:35Get my stone.
12:36Get my stone.
12:37Nigel.
12:38Nigel, relax.
12:38It's on the bath.
12:40Nigel, relax.
12:40It's stones on the bath.
12:42Nurse!
12:43One last stone.
12:44Nurse, I need a nurse here!
12:45Get off!
12:46Nurse!
12:46Nurse!
12:47I need my stone!
12:49One last stone!
12:50It's here.
12:51It's here.
12:52Alright.
12:53Alright.
12:53He's fine.
12:54I need to panic.
12:56Alright.
12:57Nothing to worry about.
13:06So what'd you say?
13:09You're more intimate with this car than most men are with their wives.
13:14So?
13:17Yeah.
13:17Okay, I'll take it.
13:18Great.
13:19Can you knock £600 off?
13:21Sorry.
13:22That's over 50%.
13:23You wanna make the sale or not?
13:25Tyres have only got a few thousand miles left in them.
13:27Bumper's loose.
13:28Bodywork's not exactly pristine.
13:29Well, what do you expect?
13:30He's over 20 years old.
13:32You spend more on a weekend in Clapton.
13:33Don't get chippy with me, sweetheart.
13:34It's overpriced.
13:35Oh, don't sweetheart me, alright?
13:37I've spent over 45 minutes answering your stupid questions.
13:40Is everything alright?
13:41Yeah, this joker's had me demonstrate literally every single radio channel.
13:44I've had the spare tyre out, the spark slugs.
13:46Yeah, alright, just calm down.
13:47Well, I'm buying a cup.
13:48Well, you ain't, are you?
13:49At that price, it's daylight robbery.
13:50I'm on commission, alright?
13:52I've got kids to provide for.
13:53That's all right, mate.
13:53She's had a few personal problems.
13:54Go in the office, that's right.
13:55I can help you.
13:56You're wasting your time, alright?
13:58You ain't gonna buy anything.
13:59What sort of mug listens to AM?
14:00Oi, get in the office or sling your hook.
14:05Sorry, mate.
14:16I thought I told you to stay away.
14:17Don't worry, I ain't here to see you.
14:24What's up?
14:26Mark?
14:26Mark too scared to come and get his own stuff, is he?
14:28Right?
14:30You got some front, ain't ya?
14:32You know?
14:32What Nigel told you was supposed to be between you and him, but...
14:35Well, you told Billy, didn't ya?
14:37Where's his stone?
14:40Nigel said it was on the bath.
14:42Where have you put it?
14:43Nowhere, is it?
14:45That was at his old house.
14:49How do you know?
14:51Hey?
14:53How do you know?
14:55Hey?
14:55Hey!
14:56Don't wanna go back yet.
14:57We're spending quality time, aren't we?
14:59We better quality time with a Jenny in me hands.
15:03Oi!
15:03Oi!
15:05What's the name of him?
15:06I asked you a question.
15:10I thought you didn't give it to us.
15:12He told me.
15:14What?
15:15I thought they stopped treatment.
15:18We ain't gonna give him that, are ya?
15:20It was a flat, smooth stone, you know, for skimming.
15:23His old man got it off the beach for him when it was Jamo's 18th.
15:26He ain't gonna notice a difference, believe me.
15:27Well, you don't know that, do you?
15:28You don't know that.
15:29It's like muscle memory, innit?
15:31You know?
15:33It's...
15:34It's the last thing he's asked for.
15:37It's important.
15:38What's important is that I'm there for him.
15:40And I ain't got time to go scrubbing around in the dirt.
15:44But seeing as you've got nothing better to do than sit around feeling sorry for yourself
15:48and go on.
15:49Knock yourself out.
15:52No.
15:54No, no.
15:54You're done on you.
15:56You've washed your hands off him.
16:00Some mate you proved to be.
16:06Phil?
16:07You alright?
16:24Max, I'm sorry.
16:26You're not gonna sag me, are you?
16:31Please.
16:31Max, I really need this job.
16:33I need people I can trust.
16:35You're a liability for here.
16:37Never mind last week.
16:38You're never here.
16:39When you are here...
16:40I know.
16:40I'm a nightmare.
16:41Okay?
16:41I'm sorry.
16:42I'll make it up to you.
16:43I promise.
16:43I'll get down on my hands and my knees.
16:45Just please.
16:46Please, the kids are relying on me.
16:48Okay?
16:48The rent's due next week and I ain't got it.
16:50Without Ravi.
16:51What are you trying to say?
16:52Ravi ain't got some money tucked away somewhere.
16:54You've been relying on my salary for a week.
16:56Jesus like that.
16:57Always got a stash somewhere.
16:59Just go down there.
17:00Ask him where it is.
17:02He can't be that far gone, can he?
17:05He stumped me.
17:07He said he wants out.
17:07Well, he's clearly in the right place.
17:09He's obviously got a screw loose, hasn't he?
17:13Sorry.
17:14I know.
17:14It's not very PC.
17:17After everything I've done for him.
17:20You know, it's half killed me.
17:21The lies I've had to tell.
17:22The secrets I've had to keep.
17:23And I'm still doing it.
17:26You know, I just can't let on to the kids.
17:28You probably don't mean it, Priya.
17:31Once he gets his head sore with out.
17:32Yeah, well, in the meantime,
17:33I just have to watch my every word.
17:34Hope I don't slip up.
17:36Well, I'm telling them to trust me.
17:38And then I'm lying to their faces.
17:40How can I even look them in the eye?
17:44I'm begging you.
17:46Look, and I know I've got no right.
17:53Okay, maybe you should just take a bit of time off.
17:57Paid.
17:58Paid.
17:58Paid.
17:58Time off.
17:59Just call it compassionately.
18:02And I'm not going to blame you for having a go at that geezer
18:04because he was a time waster, but...
18:07But that don't mean it can happen again, okay?
18:15Right.
18:15We ready?
18:16I'll text Zoe.
18:18Lily, could you keep a lookout for me?
18:20Yeah, of course.
18:21Shrimpy!
18:22Your costume is in the hall.
18:23Who?
18:24Yeah, old man.
18:26Hold up.
18:26Yes?
18:28What, are you serious?
18:29You are shrimpy rather than me too?
18:32Yeah.
18:33Are you mad?
18:35I want a strip.
18:37I'm sorry, what's he got?
18:39Magic fingers, according to Kat.
18:41He always hits the right note, yeah?
18:43What?
18:43Yeah, he gets the old birds going, especially with his G-string.
18:47Mm-hmm.
18:47He makes them wild.
18:49Big time.
18:49Shrimpy.
18:50She's coming.
18:52Okay, everyone, settle down please.
18:56Shrimpy.
18:58Okay.
18:59On three.
19:00One.
19:01Two.
19:02No one needs to check on him, I know he's a grumpy old geek.
19:04Three.
19:05Hooray!
19:05Hooray!
19:07Hooray!
19:08Hooray!
19:10Hooray!
19:10A big surprise to Warford, very young gangster granny.
19:14All together.
19:15New hip!
19:16Hooray!
19:17New hip!
19:18Hooray!
19:18New hip!
19:19Hooray!
19:21Are you sure about this?
19:23He's probably not going to listen to you either, but...
19:26I feel like someone here to see you.
19:54Where did you go?
19:56Square.
19:59How is he?
20:00Yeah, he's had something to help calm him.
20:02You didn't go looking for that storm, did you?
20:04I mean, it went years ago, I could have told you that.
20:11Nige, mate.
20:14I got your skimmer for you.
20:16Remember?
20:21Nige.
20:23Nige, your stone, mate.
20:25I got it for you.
20:34The moment's past.
20:36Thank you for trying him.
20:42It's Billy.
20:44Bill?
20:45What?
20:48Of course he ain't here. Why?
20:50He's gone.
20:52He's gone.
20:53He ain't down the gym.
20:55Mark's gone, look at the arches.
20:57We have to find him, Grant.
20:59The last time he did something like this...
21:03I think I know where he might be.
21:05I'll call you.
21:07Wait, I'll come with...
21:10Look.
21:11It's gonna pop out.
21:13There's nothing to worry about.
21:20You all right?
21:21If you're looking for Lauren...
21:22No, no.
21:24I just saw her and Peter going to the Vic for this party.
21:28You didn't fancy it, no?
21:29No, funnily enough, I wasn't in the mood.
21:32Said I'd babysit and pick up Louis from rugby.
21:35So if you're thinking, we can pick up from where you left off.
21:37No, I just wanted to apologise, actually.
21:41I don't want you thinking you're some dirty little secret.
21:45I care about you, Cindy, quite a lot.
21:48Really?
21:49You've got a funny way of shoving it.
21:51You shove me in the cupboard in my own house and laugh in my face.
21:56Well, I'm sorry, I panicked.
21:58What do you want me to say? I know it's not an excuse.
22:00It's pathetic.
22:01I mean, I know Lauren doesn't approve of me.
22:04It's not about that.
22:05And Peter won't be thrilled.
22:07But who cares?
22:08We nearly died last week, trapped in that car.
22:11I was terrified.
22:13And you were literally my hero.
22:15And now you just want us to sneak around?
22:21Well, it's not because I'm ashamed of you.
22:24Look, I'm a massive disappointment to Lauren.
22:27I know that.
22:30The way she looks at me.
22:32Well, at least the way she did until a couple of days ago.
22:36Look, I know it's only a matter of time before I muck everything up again.
22:39And I know it's not right of me to expect you to lie and to make me feel better about
22:44things.
22:44But...
22:46Can we just not enjoy this?
22:49Us, just for five minutes, just before everyone else weighs in and starts giving us grief?
22:53Yeah, but don't you think that's what I want?
22:56I just don't want to be used, Max.
22:59I am not some simpering little girl.
23:01I know all that.
23:04That's why I like you.
23:07Met my match, haven't I?
23:11I'm not saying that we don't tell everyone, but just...
23:18Please, just not now.
23:21Well, in that case...
23:30Well, in that case...
23:42Time for the line when we all come.
23:45Winning!
23:46A dally!
23:49Do all right, Bryce.
23:51Have any of you seen Phil?
23:52He's probably at the hospital.
23:55Any news on Nigel?
24:00What, so you really had now a clue?
24:03I didn't have a scoby.
24:04I can't believe you've done all this for me.
24:07Well, I couldn't let your big birthday go without doing something.
24:10You're a bit of a legend around here, Mum.
24:12I may have used up in there.
24:15Listen.
24:17Thanks.
24:18But it's not Mo.
24:20It's Nan to you.
24:22Okay.
24:25Poor Nigel.
24:27Mate, is there anything else we can do, you know?
24:30No, just have a drink for him, I guess.
24:33But Billy's at 55, ringing around, so if you do see him or hear from him, can you let Bill
24:38know?
24:39Is that all right?
24:40Yeah.
24:41Cheers, guys.
24:46I want to go home, you know. It don't feel right being here.
24:50Let's go.
24:51Yeah.
24:52I'm going to go home, and I'm going to go home.
24:56I'm going to go home.
25:04I'm going to go home.
25:21If there's anyone you think would like to see Nigel, now's the time to call them.
25:39I'm sorry.
25:42I didn't want to be there any more than you did.
25:45What the hell?
25:47You alright?
25:48I've only come round to put a couple of them traps down.
25:50We've got another rat back.
25:51Yeah, straight from the sewers.
25:53Mum.
25:53I knew you were doing something earlier.
25:55I just didn't know you were doing that.
25:56You two?
25:57Since when?
25:59A couple of days.
26:01After the accident.
26:02Why didn't you say something?
26:04It's only your business, is it?
26:06It is when you're using our house, your grandchildren's house, as some sort of knock-in shot.
26:11You are supposed to be babysitting.
26:13It's alright.
26:14Jim is asleep.
26:15He would have been finished in time to pick up Lewis.
26:17You can't save.
26:18Sorry, Lauren.
26:19I can see you're upset.
26:20No, I need you out.
26:21I need both of you out.
26:21No, slow down, Lauren, please.
26:23Alright, come on.
26:24There's no harm done, is there?
26:25What?
26:27How are you okay with this?
26:28I'm not surveying the grand scheme of things and giving everything we've just heard.
26:31It's...
26:32No.
26:32No, I need whatever this is out.
26:35This grubby affair.
26:36Just take it and get out!
26:37No, it ain't grubby.
26:38It ain't an affair.
26:39Alright?
26:40We're single, so what's the harm in it?
26:41Well, this is a proper relationship, is it?
26:43You two are serious about each other?
26:47Yeah.
26:49Yeah.
26:49Yeah, we are.
26:51So you better get used to it.
26:52Yeah.
26:55No, no.
26:56I don't know.
26:56I can't.
26:56No, no.
26:56No, no, no.
26:56Yes, no, no.
27:11Yes, no, no.
27:14Yes, no, no.
27:15You're right at this.
27:21No, no.
27:25Julie?
27:26Yeah, look, I'm sorry I raced off like that.
27:29You need to come back.
27:31Now.
27:33I'm sorry, I...
27:36I thought I'd be okay, but...
27:38I don't want to do this on my own. I don't think I can.
27:42He's going, Grant.
27:46I thought we'd have longer.
28:14I thought we'd have longer.
