00:11These are all of Nigel's favourites.
00:14Just put them on the table. I want everything in one place before I pack his case.
00:18Has Claire called you back?
00:20Nope. I don't even know if it's still her number.
00:23What do you think?
00:25Oh, it's lovely. You'll love it. Aren't you going to be late for school?
00:28No, she's having a day off.
00:29Do you want me to move in today?
00:30Well, I don't think that's an excuse not to go to school.
00:33She wants to help Nigel move in here, I bet.
00:35I don't think Nigel will want to skip in school either.
00:39Having said that, you just feel more reassured when you're around, so thank you.
00:46Julie, please tell me that you are not eyeing in Nigel's wife once.
00:50I'm not breaking a habit of a lifetime now.
00:52Well, I've got a couple of shirts I need doing if you're in the mood.
00:55You're going to doss around here all day?
00:57No. No, I'm not.
00:59I've got people to see.
01:01What's the Godfather about?
01:03It's who Phil models himself on.
01:05Isn't it, Phil?
01:06Well, I ain't ever put a horse's head on someone's pillow.
01:09Yet.
01:10I've found one about you, Grandad.
01:12Oh, yeah?
01:13What's that, then?
01:14Grumpy old men.
01:17All having a good laugh, are we?
01:22Claire.
01:27Excuse me, why are there dents all over this?
01:29Er, I don't know. Foxes.
01:32Foxes?
01:33Yeah.
01:34Kim.
01:35Oh, hi.
01:37Back last night.
01:38Oh, um, hi, Denise.
01:40You all right?
01:40Yeah.
01:41Er, how's Patrick?
01:42Oh, he's right.
01:43Yeah, he even made me my morning coffee.
01:45That's how you like it?
01:46No.
01:47No-one knows how to pop my coffee at you, babe.
01:52We're going to go to the salon, stop it.
01:55Bye, Harry.
01:57What?
01:57Did I say anything?
01:59Sorry, sorry.
02:01Class.
02:09Don't leave now.
02:10Tony, you're still going to see me, Grant.
02:12No, I know that, Tony, but I can't be seen outside without a big hair up-do and a full
02:16lip line.
02:17It's bad for the brand.
02:18Oh, right.
02:19Well, why don't you go back in, then?
02:21Next, your mum made herself scarce.
02:23It's Tim.
02:24Oh, what now?
02:26He's got to stick to his word.
02:28The money's already in my account.
02:29We're not going to see him again.
02:31So far.
02:39Well, whatever Max did, it certainly terrified the life out of him.
02:47This is mine and Nigel's favourite.
02:50I asked to watch it together about 30 times.
02:55I'm surprised he came back to Walford.
02:58It's not like this place is filled with happy memories.
03:03He's got to give us some notice he will come in.
03:06You called.
03:07I came.
03:08It's not rocket science.
03:09Oh, right.
03:10Well, that's funny, because you ignored all my calls when I was searching for Nigel all
03:14those months.
03:15I thought he'd finally seen the light and done a runner.
03:20I only found out he got dementia yesterday, didn't I?
03:22Even the chickens knew before me.
03:26Nigel's moving into the care home today.
03:29Care home?
03:31It's got to this stage and if only you'd just let me know.
03:34Well, that's no surprise, is it?
03:37Considering what you did to him the last time you showed up.
03:39What did you do?
03:43I'll get Nigel's case.
03:48Charming as ever.
03:50It's a big day for Nigel, are they?
03:53Yeah.
03:54I'm glad I'm here.
03:56Helps smooth things along.
03:57Which means no dramas.
04:00Understand?
04:02I just came back to see my dad.
04:05You need to get it together.
04:08To a mark under the bus, you mean?
04:10Oh, would you rather me and the kid standing over your grave?
04:13Because that's what will happen if you warn him off this drug set-up.
04:16This was supposed to be about taking down the high of Robson.
04:19Not the handlers or dealers.
04:21Can you hear yourself?
04:23I don't care about anyone.
04:25Except for you and our kids.
04:27Okay, we'd all be safer if Mark Fowler's banged up.
04:30No one's going to even miss him if he's gone.
04:39For the condemned man.
04:42Because if you don't take me out like you've been promising for weeks,
04:45I'm going to murder you.
04:47How are you now?
04:48What do you mind when we say?
04:50Don't end up like Nan and Grandad.
04:52Never leaving the square.
04:54Sorry?
04:55Well, look at me now.
04:56I'm living next door to where they lived.
04:58I'm swimming in chip-fap day in, day out.
05:01Come on, Mark.
05:03I clock off at 11.
05:04I can't. I'm busy then.
05:06You are unemployed.
05:07What could you possibly be busy with?
05:09You were always so nosy, weren't you, Vic?
05:13I'll tell you what.
05:14Yeah?
05:15I'll be back this afternoon.
05:17How about I take my lovely big sister out for a slap-up lunch up west, yeah?
05:22Yeah, well, I won't hold my breath.
05:24I'll be back soon.
05:26I promise.
05:27I'm holding you to that.
05:37Back in the land of the living.
05:39Yeah, thanks to you and Kim.
05:45I know that look.
05:47The man's beware.
05:52Last night, I kind of told Kim that I missed her still.
05:56And?
05:56And I still loved her.
05:59That explains it, then.
06:01Explains what?
06:02Why, she was so giddy, like the cat that got the cream.
06:06Really?
06:07Well, man, isn't it obvious?
06:09As Poole would say, she's caught the wheels.
06:13You think?
06:14It's time, man.
06:17Time for what?
06:18Look, stop wasting seconds dancing around each other.
06:22Strike whilst the iron is hot.
06:26So, then we made Nigel a Christmas film.
06:29And, at Easter, he dressed up as the Easter bunny.
06:33Everyone loved him.
06:34She knew he'd be at school.
06:36So, what did she do to him?
06:38Oh, er, it's best not to drag that up today.
06:43Not here, not now.
06:44Um, today's about Nigel.
06:52He looks so old.
06:54I think it's best if me and Phil go in first, just to see how he is today.
07:00Okay.
07:08Hello, love.
07:09Hi, hi.
07:12So, are we going home, then?
07:13No.
07:14No, not quite yet.
07:15Um, there's someone who wants to see you.
07:20It's Claire.
07:23She...
07:23She wants to say hello.
07:25Would you like that?
07:27Claire.
07:29Hello, Nigel.
07:32I've missed you.
07:38Claire.
07:40Yeah, I'm here.
07:44Claire.
07:45It's me.
07:47I'm Claire.
07:48No!
07:51Claire.
07:53It's okay, Nigel.
07:54I'm here.
08:01I think it's best we give him some spares.
08:12It was good you kept out of Johnny's way this morning.
08:15I mean, it would have all just blown up again.
08:16I've lost him, Mum.
08:18No, darling.
08:19You've just got to let the dust settle.
08:21Johnny loves you.
08:22Callum won't stay angry.
08:23And although Max Branning isn't my favourite,
08:26he certainly came through for Johnny, didn't he?
08:28Yeah, he did.
08:29Though he didn't do it for Johnny.
08:31Quid extra and you get a can of pop
08:33and a chockee bar and a meal deal.
08:35What, have you?
08:36Yeah, it just makes sense, doesn't it?
08:38No.
08:38You want bacon and cheese on yours?
08:40Make it extra tasty, yeah.
08:43Oh, well, if I ain't the queen of the showroom herself.
08:45Hardly.
08:46Yeah, true.
08:47Because if you were, you wouldn't have passed on Ravi.
08:49That weren't me.
08:50It was my dad.
08:52Sorry.
08:52It's just...
08:53I'm skint right now.
08:54I could really do with the extra cash.
08:56I know the feeling.
08:58So, cheeseburger and large fries, is it?
09:00No, I just want a coffee.
09:01Oh, come on.
09:02I bet you ain't eating all day.
09:04Juggling a job, two kids, dozy husband.
09:06Hey, we're like twins, me and you.
09:09Pretty good on the upsell, aren't you?
09:11Yeah, well, people don't know what they want
09:13until I tell them that they want it.
09:16That's $5.50.
09:19Are you all right?
09:21Are you all right?
09:22Yeah.
09:22You look like you've been dug up.
09:26I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got to go.
09:29These ain't the sort of people you keep waiting.
09:31Yeah.
09:31Yeah, cool.
09:32Be a later, though, yeah?
09:34Let's see if your missus doesn't drag you away again.
09:37Ah, no.
09:38Scrap that.
09:40Promise I'll take my sister out.
09:42I've been on my own for too long, right, man?
09:44I'm going to get this job done,
09:45and I'm going to get back to my family.
09:47Catch you later.
09:55Ravi!
09:59Patrick, if I can pull this off,
10:01Kim is going to love it.
10:02Well, this is definitely very Kim.
10:05Right.
10:05You're on, but it's got to be midday,
10:08and it'll cost you.
10:09You cannot haggle with a drag queen.
10:11So you'll want, uh, bubbles and nibbles?
10:15Yep.
10:15The works.
10:16OK, good sorted.
10:18The works?
10:19Man, this thing has definitely escalated.
10:22What do you mean?
10:23This was your idea?
10:24Yes, but, man, I was thinking of, um,
10:26you know, a red rose, man,
10:28a box of chocolate,
10:30something small and inexpensive.
10:32Since when does Kim do anything small?
10:35Look, Patrick, I need to make her splash.
10:37I need to show her how much she means to me.
10:40But just make sure she's here for midday, yeah?
10:41Yeah, but, uh...
10:42Look, Patrick, please.
10:43Look how we eat.
10:44Everything to be perfect.
10:56What are you going somewhere?
10:58The Vic?
10:59Hang on, mate, maybe later, yeah,
11:00cos, uh, well, we've got to get the doctor
11:02to sign you off first.
11:03Uh,
11:05can I have a pint?
11:06See my mates?
11:09Barry, I'm meeting Barry.
11:10Barry?
11:11Barry called, yeah, he did.
11:13He called and said that he was at work today.
11:15Oh.
11:26I miss my mates.
11:35Nigel finds it's difficult to process things, people.
11:38His mind's stuck in the past now.
11:40That much is obvious.
11:42I don't get it, though.
11:44Why aren't you both in Scotland?
11:46Just didn't want me to see him getting ill,
11:49so he came to Alford.
11:51Yeah, I was sick with worry.
11:53I kept on picturing him
11:55at the bottom of a cliff for a summer.
11:57Maybe he couldn't bear to live with you anymore.
12:00Oh, that's rich.
12:02What's that supposed to mean?
12:05Come on.
12:06I know you're dying to stick the knife in.
12:07You only ever saw him as the bank of Nigel.
12:09It's take, take, take with you.
12:10It always has been.
12:11Oh, here she is.
12:12You might have conveniently forgotten
12:13what you did to him the last time you came on,
12:14but I haven't, and neither did Nigel.
12:19I'm proud of what I did.
12:20Well, that's something at least.
12:22Enough with the Holy The Now Act.
12:24It's sickening.
12:24Claire.
12:27You stole and pawned Debbie's wedding ring.
12:31My mum's wedding ring.
12:32It's the only thing he had left to remind him of her.
12:34Hello?
12:35The only good thing.
12:39He always talked about passing that ring on to Bella,
12:41only he never got the pleasure
12:43of meeting his only granddaughter, did he?
12:46Edinburgh and Devon aren't exactly close.
12:48Oh, I'm telling her.
12:48Excuse us, Claire, please.
12:52You spent years trying to turn Nigel against me.
12:54Oh, right, and here we go with the wicked stepmum speech.
12:58I'm just a constant reminder of who he really loved,
13:01that you'll always play second fiddle to my mum.
13:04And now?
13:06Now you've found the perfect way to punish me.
13:08What are you talking about?
13:09You only caught me when you knew he had no chance of recognising me,
13:12and do you know what that is?
13:15It's cruel.
13:16Claire.
13:17You pushed Nigel right to the edge.
13:19You know?
13:21He had to beg that pawnbroker.
13:24He paid over the odds to get that ring back.
13:26And he was never the same after what you did to him.
13:28Now, that, Claire,
13:30that is what cruelty is.
13:32The doctor wants to see you.
13:34Yeah, I'll be straight in, love.
13:36I'll never forgive you.
13:38But Nigel might.
13:39So you need to at least try
13:41and make peace with him.
13:43There might still be a chance.
13:54You know Lexi's going to be after all your lotions and potions,
13:57don't you?
13:57You can have it just once.
13:58I am not starting a turf war with a moisturiser.
14:03It's a lot, isn't it?
14:05What, you feeling all right about me moving in?
14:07No, I meant Tim.
14:09But he did see how you...
14:10You can still report here.
14:12Look, I know Mum thinks that what Tim did to me
14:14is going to affect me,
14:14but it's not right.
14:16You know what I need?
14:17It's a fresh start.
14:19Here.
14:21It's me, you and Lexi.
14:26Exactly what I said, Minotti.
14:30After Kim!
14:31So what now?
14:32You've been away with the fairies all day today.
14:34I had to comp Mrs Hopkins' pedicure.
14:37Oh, she's such a drama queen.
14:40You practically sawed her toe off.
14:42It stopped bleeding.
14:44Eventually.
14:45What is going on with you today?
14:47As if I didn't know.
14:49I'm just hearing pure noise right now, if I'm honest.
14:51How are you?
14:52You've been buying those gummies off the dark web again, innit?
14:55Oh, come on.
14:56The two of you dancing round each other this morning.
14:58Me standing there like a lemon.
15:01I weren't dancing round anyone, and that's just how you stand, Denise.
15:04What can I say?
15:06Oh, you're right, Patrick?
15:07Girls, I want to take the boat of you all out for a drink.
15:11Oh!
15:13Oh!
15:14Well, it's good to see you wanted to get out again.
15:16Well, I realise I need my family around me.
15:19It helps to get me through.
15:21Hmm.
15:21Yeah.
15:22Well, we are very pleased to hear that, Aunt Kim.
15:25Yeah, really pleased.
15:26So, midday at the Albert.
15:29The Albert?
15:30Is there something you want to tell us, Patrick?
15:35You see, part of my new philosophy is embracing everything.
15:40Yeah.
15:41Right.
15:42Right.
15:43Okay.
15:43And, erm, Yolandi's okay with this new version of Patrick 2.0?
15:49Yeah, ma'am.
15:50She's, er, she's accommodating.
15:54Well, Aunt, we have something sparkly, all right?
15:59Sparkly.
16:01Sorry, am I living in an alternate universe here?
16:08To be kind, or just be yourself, because you are kind, and funny, and beautiful, and
16:20I just wanted to be the best.
16:20How old were you when she died?
16:22Ten.
16:24Me too.
16:27I hate hospitals.
16:30Mum was here so much.
16:33But I got a chance to say goodbye to her.
16:36Not like you.
16:37It's really sad.
16:40I remember the day it happened.
16:43Nigel picked me up from school.
16:45One of my friends, Abby, to come home for tea.
16:48But he said no, and I remember thinking, it's so unfair, because I promised my friend that
16:54I'd let her down.
16:56He took me to the park, told me what happened.
17:01And he promised he would always be there for me.
17:05I had this big hug.
17:08Looking back on it, that was the last time I really felt safe.
17:14Nigel thought I was you a lot, and when he did, he smiled.
17:19He was kind.
17:21Was he?
17:23He still loves you.
17:25Oh, how can he?
17:27All Nigel ever did was love me.
17:30And all I ever did was hurt him.
17:32You can still make it up to him.
17:36I know you mean well, but it's too late.
17:42If I had one last day with my mum, I'd take it.
17:47I'd do anything I could to make her smile, one last time.
18:07You always gave me a hot damn, what are you doing here?
18:09I like it.
18:11He's too exposed, it smells sus.
18:13You came all the way down to tell me that.
18:15It's a drug deal, Robbie, of course it's sus.
18:19But, no guts, no glory, eh?
18:22Mark.
18:22Mark.
18:25Mark.
18:25What?
18:26I've got a bad feeling.
18:28Well, you stay here with your bad feeling,
18:32and I'm going to go do my job, alright?
18:35Come on, boys.
18:36Come on, boys.
18:46Please, don't tell me you.
18:47Please.
18:48Move up.
18:48Move up.
18:49Move up.
18:51Move up.
18:52Move up.
18:55Move up.
19:08while he still can.
19:10You know, Carleen Clare has proved to be an unmitigated disaster.
19:15I mean, God, this is hard enough without having someone who hates me.
19:20Yeah, well, let's just concentrate on getting him through the next stage, yeah?
19:26I couldn't have done this without you, you know?
19:31You're a true friend, Phil Mitchell.
19:34And if Nigel could...
19:39...eats are the same.
19:42Yeah, well, er...
19:45I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Nigel.
19:47No, you are. And I, for one, I'm extremely grateful.
19:53Yeah, you're right. Let's let him sleep.
19:56Hey, erm, I'll treat you to a coffee...
19:59...before it all kicks off again.
20:01Yeah, well.
20:05Oh, he saved my day!
20:07Yeah, they will be here soon.
20:09Hi!
20:09Are you late?
20:10Oh, we're making an entrance.
20:12Sydney?
20:13Hello.
20:13Er, why are all the shutters closed?
20:17Er...ambiance.
20:17Setting the mood.
20:18Oh, for what?
20:20Surprise!
20:22Well, nice to see that you're taking it in your stride, your landing.
20:25Hi.
20:26Taking what in my stride?
20:28Oh, you know.
20:28Perhaps she's coming out, Marty.
20:30He's what?
20:32To be honest.
20:33Yeah.
20:42Come back!
20:47Come back!
20:50Baby, come back!
20:57Baby, come back!
20:58Baby, bye, bye, bye!
20:59B-bye, bye, bye-bye, bye!
21:02This is the first time I did today
21:08Kim, come back!
21:09Oh, I told you it was too much fun.
21:13You think?
21:16Kim!
21:17Kim, what are you?
21:18What was all that about?
21:20I just wanted to do something special for you, to show you how much I cared.
21:23Oh, what, you trying to impress me?
21:24Yes.
21:26Oh, well, that must have put you back a bit.
21:27Yeah.
21:28Yeah? Like how much?
21:32Flashing the cash is what got us in this mess in the first place.
21:37We were with Patrick yesterday,
21:40and I saw you do what everyone else failed to do.
21:44You brought him out of the dark.
21:46That's the Howie that I fell in love with.
21:49The Howie that would stand by his family.
21:52The Howie that I could trust.
21:54Not this flashy Howie.
21:57You know, the Kim I love.
21:59I love all of her.
22:00The bright, beautiful, funny Kim that everyone always sees.
22:04The Kim that I fight to the death for her family.
22:06The Kim that took my son under her wing.
22:10And you know the Kim I miss the most?
22:13When she's vulnerable.
22:16When she tells me her fears, her hopes and her dreams.
22:21The Kim I can learn from.
22:23The Kim that makes me want to be a better man.
22:26I don't know.
22:28Chelsea.
22:36Carry on.
22:39Look.
22:41I get things wrong.
22:42A lot of the time.
22:44Yeah, a lot of the time.
22:45All the time, actually.
22:46All the time.
22:47But I promise to be a better man.
22:51A whole lot better.
22:53A whole lot better.
22:55Because you're the love of my life, Kim Fox.
22:58And I miss you so much.
23:01Please give me another chance.
23:14Kim.
23:15I'm doing a dramatic pause.
23:17Oh.
23:22Give me a kiss now.
23:26Yeah!
23:28Yeah!
23:30Yeah!
23:31Where are you going?
23:32What?
23:33I'm going to get up Roseworth.
23:34I'm going to miss out on a drag queen karaoke.
23:37Do me a favour.
23:37I will survive.
23:39Bye.
23:41You're the man, yeah?
23:42Oh, my God.
23:44Oh, my God.
23:44Oh, my God.
23:45Oh, my God.
23:45Oh, my God.
23:47Oh, my God.
23:52Come in.
23:54Lauren said you were helping out today.
23:56Isn't that a good time?
23:57Uh, yeah.
23:57Yeah, yeah, of course.
24:01Um, I don't know what you did,
24:02and I don't want the gory details,
24:04but it worked.
24:06Tim's gone for good,
24:07and Johnny's got his money.
24:09Oh, that's good.
24:12I'm glad to be there.
24:17I've got a sale.
24:19You're going to need to get them dents in the boot fixed.
24:21You know, the foxes made.
24:22Oh, and by the way,
24:23I'm giving the job to Priya.
24:29Dents in the boot.
24:31Please tell me he cried just a little bit.
24:33Yeah, he did.
24:34He was like a newborn.
24:37And he just on his bum slept.
24:39Well, I'm grateful.
24:41Oh, and, uh, you've got a new fan, by the way.
24:44My mother.
24:45Yeah, if she invites you to her boudoir
24:47for a more intimate thank you,
24:48I'd run for the eels.
24:49It's all so.
24:52She's not really my type.
24:55No.
24:58No.
25:00Dad!
25:02There's another customer out there.
25:05Sorry.
25:07No, no, go, go, go.
25:14Listen, whatever makes your life
25:15and his life easier.
25:18I'm there.
25:23All right, Lord, what's going on?
25:28Still not answering.
25:30Good old Claire, dependable as ever.
25:33Yeah, she's probably still nicking her wounds
25:35and next isn't answering either.
25:39Ready?
25:42Ready.
25:48Where is he?
25:52Where's he gone, Phil?
25:56Oh, they're calling you for hours, Ravi.
25:58Where are you?
26:00Michelle, I'm going on my break, okay?
26:04Nearly wet myself.
26:06Not that scary, am I?
26:08No, of course not.
26:10I feel like you've seen a ghost.
26:11Where's Ravi?
26:13He's gone down the whole cellars.
26:14Ran out of baps.
26:16It's a bit careless for a bat ban, isn't it?
26:20Ravi, you got a minute?
26:22Yeah, sure.
26:29Listen, I've got to thank you, mate.
26:31If you were 30 seconds later,
26:32I'd be having a cavity search right now.
26:34Yeah.
26:35How'd you know?
26:36I had a hunch.
26:37A hunch?
26:39What, and you came looking for me?
26:40Yeah.
26:42Well, you're a mate.
26:43You know, if it was going to go south,
26:45at least I got to warn you.
26:47I've been inside, mate.
26:48It's no picnic.
26:50I appreciate that.
26:51I really do.
26:51There you are.
26:53Hey, you look nice.
26:55Going to something special?
26:56My wonderful brother,
26:57who is late, by the way,
26:59is taking me up west.
27:00Better late than never, eh, Ravi?
27:03Listen, thanks for your help today.
27:04Yeah, don't mention it.
27:06Right, see you later.
27:06I'll catch you later.
27:08I just got to make a quick phone call.
27:09Yeah, well, you can walk and talk
27:10because I'm starving.
27:16Yeah, it's me.
27:18It's about the rap.
27:24I've got him.
