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