00:00I just spoke to the estate agent. I've told them to take this off the market, so we can
00:24stay here, us and the baby. Debbie would have wanted you to be happy. I know she would.
00:33And she was so loved. I mean, you should take comfort in that.
00:38Well, she always had lots of friends. I mean, of course, they all drifted after she had
00:44Deb. But now she's gone. They've all come calling back.
00:50Yeah. Well, you didn't drift, though. You were there right till the end. You did everything
00:57for Debbie. You were the best husband she could have wished for. I get that.
01:06How's, uh, how's Nugget? At home, fighting with Avani over the gaming
01:25controller. I think she's missed him. Looked like she might let him win for a change.
01:30I'm glad you're, uh, working well. Dad's almost out of his meds. I've just got to pop out to the chemist's later.
01:37Oh, I can do that.
01:39Ah, well, there's no need to fight over who gets to help him. I'd pick the pills up myself
01:45if I wasn't preparing for a business meeting. What is this meeting? Remember, Ted?
01:50Yeah, there's this building management firm that wants to put us on a retainer. Should
01:54be very lucrative. So I'm thinking of taking them to Walford East, wine and dine them,
02:00turn on the Vanessa channel. Just don't overdo it, Dad, yeah?
02:03Well, maybe I should be there. Uh, you know, take the strain off a bit.
02:06I think I can handle a business meeting without my son holding my hand.
02:12They drop the meds off in the call centre when you pick tomorrow.
02:23It's coming, it's coming, it's coming. Go, go, go, go, go.
02:25Surprise!
02:28Oh, that's great. I feel like I'm a touch old for the whole birthday thing, though.
02:31Yeah, that's right, actually.
02:32And I said nonsense. No-one's too old for a birthday party.
02:36Hold on, what? Party?
02:38Yeah. I mean, it's small. I mean, tiny, actually.
02:41I printed off a load of invites for the whole market.
02:44Honey!
02:45Martin, your family have worked Bridgestreet Market longer than any of us have been alive.
02:50Well, maybe not, Billy.
02:52Oi!
02:53All right, fair enough.
02:55And when I told Mr Lister that today was your big 4-0,
02:58he insisted that I get cover so the whole entire market can come and celebrate with you.
03:03Which is lovely. I know.
03:04Except, uh, this is not my 40th.
03:06See, I told you.
03:08He's 43 if he's a day.
03:10I'm 39, actually.
03:12Oh, that's all right. I mean, that counts.
03:14Anyway, two o'clock, Square Gardens.
03:16In this?
03:18That's all right. It's going to clear up, I checked.
03:21Good luck.
03:22Oi, 43?
03:24Yeah, you see how it is. You know you can get cream for that.
03:34Oh.
03:35See something you like?
03:37Hmm?
03:39You know, if you thought it was a nightmare being married to a Slater,
03:42that family are next level.
03:44You hate yourself, yeah?
03:51I think Ian got a bit carried away.
03:53You can feed the 5,000 with that, though.
03:55Oh, it's really kind of him. Thank him for us, wouldn't you?
03:57Yeah, of course.
03:59I would have left it a couple of days before I come over to see you,
04:02but me, Ian and Lexi, yeah, are going over to see Ben.
04:06You know, Callum can't get the time off work, so he nabbed his ticket.
04:09Oh, I bet you can't wait to see him.
04:11I just wish it was under different circumstances,
04:13but, you know, just to be in the same room as Ince on.
04:16I know he's a grown man, and I know he's a man,
04:19I know he's a grown man and all,
04:21but he's still my little boy.
04:23This'll be you in 20 years' time.
04:25Won't do whatever scrapes your little ones have got themselves into.
04:28Do you want a cup of tea?
04:30I'll get it.
04:32Listen, I know it's selfish and everything,
04:35but I am so glad you're staying on the square.
04:38So am I.
04:40We're hoping to have a quick word.
04:42How soon is it?
04:44Come in. We already spoke the other day.
04:46Nothing wrong, is there?
04:49I think it's best if we sat down.
04:53What's going on?
04:55All Dad wants is for us to follow him round like little puppies.
04:59Every time I try and step up with the businesses, he blocks it.
05:02Yeah, well, don't sound so surprised.
05:04You knew exactly who you were dealing with.
05:06Maybe. Maybe I'll just back off a bit.
05:09Vinnie, know your audience.
05:11Since when has your father respected anyone who backed off?
05:16The post-mortem's being carried out.
05:18And while we wait for the results,
05:20your wife will stay in the mortuary.
05:22We just wanted to let you know you can see her.
05:25Why would I want to do that?
05:27She'll be all cold.
05:29I couldn't, though. Sorry.
05:33Although there was no chance of recovery,
05:36Rhys was devoted to Debbie, right until the end.
05:39Stop saying that.
05:43Sorry. Sorry.
05:45Thanks for letting us know. It's really kind.
05:47Don't mention it. I'll show ourselves out.
05:49Oh, look out.
05:54Thank you.
06:00Darling, are you all right?
06:02I know you're grieving, but it was really thoughtful of them, you know, to pop by.
06:07Yeah, I know, and I didn't mean to take it out on you.
06:10It's just...
06:12I wasn't with her at the very end.
06:14You keep saying I was, but the fact is, Debbie died all alone.
06:19Well, I didn't mean you were literally with her.
06:22It just meant that your heart was with her.
06:25It's like that Elvis song.
06:29It's Honky Tonk Angel.
06:31You were always on my mind.
06:35Debbie was always on your mind.
06:37She still is.
06:39But you need to start thinking about yourself now.
06:41You know, you've got yourself all worked up,
06:43and I think it might be because you haven't had a chance to say a proper goodbye.
06:47I've already said most, haven't you?
06:53Come on, Kat, I am your longest-serving driver.
06:55I shouldn't have to beg for the decent fares.
06:57British Airways ain't at Heathrow as much as you are.
06:59And you're already getting twice as much as the other drivers.
07:01Well, sign me up for a couple of night shifts, then.
07:04Dara's busy.
07:07All right, a week of nights, and that's it.
07:09Thank you, boss. I'd much appreciate it.
07:11Boys, you touch them parcels again, I'll have your heads.
07:14Hey, hey, hey, hey, you, go and keep your eye on your brothers. Go on.
07:17Yeah, Tommy, go and sort the parcels out.
07:19I'm not paying you to sit on your backside all summer.
07:24So how's he been this morning?
07:26Well, there's been no fisticuffs, if that's what you mean.
07:29But there's been a bit of a fight, hasn't there?
07:32Yeah.
07:34That's what you mean.
07:36Got the social called, and they said they're closing the case.
07:39But they've got to inform the school, so they can keep their eye on him.
07:42I don't know what they think they're going to find.
07:45I know we're not perfect, but we're a decent family, and we love our kids.
07:48Yeah.
07:50So, anyway, um, Freddie has informed me that little Mo and Lin
07:54are going to be going to the caravan for a bit,
07:56as you were meant to go last week. Fancy it?
07:58Yeah, yeah, I'll just chuck my knickers in my designer handbag, yeah,
08:01and leave the gremlins to take care of themselves.
08:03They won't be taking care of themselves.
08:05Maybe if me and Tommy spent a bit of father-son time,
08:08he wouldn't be stuck on the idea of you and Phil maybe getting back together.
08:12This is just a rough patch, all right?
08:15It's not like it's our first one.
08:17I'm dealing with it.
08:28Phil, just the man I've been looking for.
08:30Look, have you thought any more about us putting our troubles behind us?
08:35Oh, come on, Phil, you're almost too warm and cuddly.
08:38I can't cope!
08:40Hey, Rhys, hold up.
08:42Al's not a good time.
08:44My wife's dead, and she died.
08:47Yeah, well, it wasn't exactly out of the blue, was it?
08:50State she was in.
08:52Now, I want to see a return on my so-called investment.
08:55I really don't have the headspace for work right now.
08:57And in the meantime, I want updates.
08:59Regular ones.
09:00That's not how it works. Look, these things take time...
09:02Well, you can do it my way, all right?
09:04Or I'll turn you upside down and shake you till the money falls out.
09:06It's your choice.
09:29A whisky, please, Tracey.
09:31Just tell him I'll speak to him soon.
09:34Oh, thanks, Ken.
09:41Well, if you don't need a night in a club full of sweaty men, I don't know who does.
09:44What?
09:45You're admissible, mate.
09:46Come on, a night out, I'll do you good.
09:48I'm not in the mood, Johnny.
09:50You've changed your tune.
09:52I'm not in the mood.
09:54I'm not in the mood.
09:56I'm not in the mood.
09:59You've changed your tune.
10:09Hi, mate.
10:10Erm, Trace, can I leave those on the bar, please?
10:13Yes.
10:14Thank you.
10:15Here you are, mate.
10:16Honey and the traders are throwing a little party for Martin later.
10:19Probably a good idea to spend some time with mates at a time like this, yeah?
10:22You heard that?
10:24Yeah.
10:26Listen, I'm so sorry.
10:28That must have been complicated, what with her condition and that.
10:35I'd swerved that.
10:37I mean, drinking never solved anything.
10:39Take it from someone who knows.
10:42I thought I'd already done my grieving for Debbie.
10:46Yeah, mate, listen.
10:48It will creep up on you.
10:50When you think you're over it and then suddenly something will remind you
10:54and then someone will write you the other whatever
10:56and then you're on the floor again.
11:00Sonia thinks I should go and see her, innit?
11:03Well, you know.
11:06Thinks I should say goodbye.
11:08Properly.
11:10Yeah, it's a tough one.
11:13Debbie hated the cult.
11:15The thought of seeing her, innit?
11:17Yeah.
11:19Listen, they...
11:21They encouraged us to spend some time with Peach
11:23after she was delivered.
11:25They say it helps with the grieving process.
11:27Right.
11:29That day, it was the worst day of my life.
11:31Really was agony.
11:33Except for when it was just me, Whit and Peach.
11:37I don't know what I'd have done
11:39if I didn't get that time to say goodbye, you know?
11:43You'll be all right.
11:45If it helped you and Whitney.
11:47Listen, go easy, mate, yeah?
11:49Thanks.
11:51Cheers, Frank.
11:59So, what's good here?
12:01I'm Vinnie Panasar.
12:05I used to run the pest control business with my brother Kira.
12:07Sorry that I am late.
12:11You should try them salad fries.
12:13Best this side of the river.
12:17Come on.
12:27You were right.
12:29I should go and see Debbie.
12:31I, um...
12:33I spoke to Zach.
12:35And, um, with Peach,
12:37he found it...
12:39Comforting?
12:41Yeah.
12:43I just hope I can find some sort of peace.
12:46I'm sorry I spoke to you.
12:48You're not yourself at the moment.
12:50I understand that.
12:52I saw you talking to Phil earlier.
12:54What did he want?
12:56I told him what happened.
12:58He was just passing on his condolences.
13:00Really?
13:02Didn't look like that.
13:04I suppose.
13:06I mean, he was hassling me a little bit.
13:08I set up an investment for him and Sharon
13:10and he thinks he's going to see a return in five minutes.
13:12But I kept telling him that isn't possible.
13:14What, he was talking to you about work at a time like this?
13:16Yeah, I did say my head wasn't in it,
13:18but, well, you know Phil.
13:20Yeah, I do.
13:22Where are you going?
13:24I've known Phil Mitchell a very long time
13:26and sometimes he just needs telling straight.
13:28I'm sorry, wait.
13:30Don't be silly, get out of my way.
13:32You'll make things worse, ten times worse.
13:34Phil will take it against me.
13:36He'll fire me and I'll need this job.
13:38No job is worth being spoken to like that now.
13:40Out of my way.
13:42Because I stole from him.
13:52You all right, mate?
13:54Yeah, fine.
13:56I'm just not a good asshole.
13:58Oh, Nugget's back home
14:00if you want to go see him.
14:02His dad will kill me.
14:04You all right?
14:06Three chocolate muffins and the strongest coffee you've got, please.
14:08I hate chocolate muffins.
14:10So what, can we have crisps instead?
14:12Oh, you pack it in, Imperia.
14:14All right?
14:16All right.
14:18Oh, we're going to go park later.
14:20Want to come?
14:22Er, I suppose I'd better ask first.
14:24Mum, I'm going to go park with the lads.
14:26Right.
14:28Is there a question in there somewhere?
14:30All right, fine.
14:32But you take your brothers with you.
14:34You are joking.
14:36No, I'm not. They're bouncing off the walls in there
14:38Look, you don't have a roof over your head.
14:42Thank you.
14:44Tommy.
14:46It wasn't hard, was it?
14:48Shall we go?
14:50Yeah, come on.
14:54Boys, come, let's go.
15:02I know we haven't been together long
15:05But I thought I knew you.
15:07The fundamentals.
15:09Kind, safe.
15:11I am those things.
15:13So what happened?
15:15You looked at Phil and Sharon's spreadsheet and just couldn't resist?
15:17I deal with money every day.
15:19I don't even think of it as money.
15:21It's just numbers.
15:23Well, usually.
15:25But we've had some big expenses these last few months.
15:27We've barely been keeping our heads above water.
15:29And I was willing to sell this house, Dot's house, to deal with it.
15:31And I didn't want you to have to do that.
15:33So instead you decided to steal?
15:35Yeah, to pay for the care home fees.
15:37So you wouldn't be so stressed about money.
15:39I was only thinking about you and the baby.
15:45Look, I'm not a bad man.
15:49I wouldn't do a bad thing unless I couldn't see any other way.
15:55But you do know me.
15:57Fundamentals.
15:59I promise.
16:01Nicking off Phil?
16:03Of all people?
16:05I'm in big trouble, aren't I?
16:07What am I going to do?
16:09You're going to get your coat on.
16:11We're going to get in the car and you're going to go and see Debbie.
16:13We'll deal with the rest later.
16:25Sorry, mate.
16:27That's Jack.
16:29I saw Callum earlier.
16:31He's like a bit of a sore ass. I don't like him at all.
16:33Yeah, well, he's got things on his mind.
16:35Yeah, like what?
16:37He wanted to go and visit Ben with Kathy in and Lexi.
16:39Only we couldn't spare him.
16:41Life on cover, eh?
16:43Not that I'm expecting anyone to get the violins out.
16:47You might want to check him in.
16:49If you're interested in being a mate.
16:59If you'll excuse me for a minute.
17:01Nature calls.
17:05Five more minutes and he'd sign on the dotted line.
17:10I know you told me not to come,
17:12but this is a family business, Dad,
17:14and I won't be shut out anymore.
17:18We'll get another round of drinks.
17:20When he comes back,
17:22close the deal.
17:24Hold the shot.
17:35How's Devinder settling back in?
17:37He's fine.
17:39Settled.
17:41Are you at least going to let me know
17:43when his next dialysis session is?
17:45He's got a phone.
17:47If he wants you to know anything, he'll tell you.
17:49We're his parents and I'm asking you.
17:54If it wasn't for him,
17:56I wouldn't have to beg for news about my own son.
18:00No, no, not that.
18:02He's in the middle of an important meeting, Priya.
18:04Oh, no, I'm sorry.
18:06I'd hate to upset him by trashing his entire life.
18:08Oh, I need you on standby
18:10so whenever there's an issue with any of our buildings...
18:12I hope you know what sort of lying sex pest
18:14you're getting yourself into business with.
18:16Excuse me?
18:18I'm so sorry about this.
18:20Keep your voice down. Stop making a scene.
18:23That's what he is.
18:25A scummy, horrible, pasty ball of human sleaze!
18:27Priya, Priya!
18:29You're embarrassing yourself.
18:31I think I'd better leave you to it.
18:33No, no, no, no.
18:35Mr. Morris, we've finished lunch anyway.
18:37Come back to the office.
18:39We can continue the conversation there.
18:41We won't be beaten on our prowess
18:43or professionalism without my word.
18:47OK.
18:53I'll keep her under control.
18:55Don't talk about me like I ain't here.
18:57Wish you weren't here.
19:05Dad.
19:07You all right?
19:09It's just the room on the end.
19:11Take your time. Take as long as you like.
19:13I'll be waiting just outside.
19:15Miss Debbie?
19:17Just talk to her.
19:43Hello, Debbie.
19:53Hello, you two.
19:55Don't move this time, yeah?
19:57Mate, you nearly took his eye out
19:59with that last shot.
20:01So?
20:03What do you mean, so?
20:05They're little kids, mate.
20:07This ain't right.
20:09Oh, look.
20:11Plus, you'll have to put up with his whining all the time.
20:13Tommy, I'm telling you now, don't do it.
20:15Oi!
20:17They're your little brothers.
20:19What are you playing at?
20:21See you.
20:27Who do you think you're talking to?
20:29You better watch yourself, yeah?
20:31Unless you want the social at the door again.
20:33I'm your mum.
20:35I thought I was talking to my little boy.
20:37I thought I was talking to my little boy.
20:41I don't think I know who you are anymore.
20:43Whatever.
20:45You all right, boys?
20:47Come here.
20:49Come on.
20:51Let's go home, yeah?
20:57Oh, he's here!
20:59There you go.
21:01Still going with the 40th birthday thing, then?
21:03Well, of course.
21:05I've got a list of pops-ups.
21:07And an Olympic theme, I see.
21:09I take it that was Billy's idea.
21:11Tell you what, I've been loving the Olympic.
21:13You been watching?
21:15Well, I never miss the women's beach volleyball, to be fair.
21:17Yes, it was Billy's idea to put the flags up.
21:19You know how he likes to talk about the story.
21:21What story's that?
21:23Oh, mate, I tell you what, go and grab Billy
21:25and ask him about the time he held the Olympic torch.
21:27Yeah?
21:29Yeah.
21:31I'm sorry, no offence, but
21:34I have to hear that story one more time.
21:36I'm with you, Martin. I'd cry. Actual tears.
21:38Oh, hey! There they are.
21:40Hey, kids.
21:42I can't believe you're having a fake 40th birthday party.
21:44Yeah, well...
21:46Do you know what's the best bit?
21:48Nobody's even questioning it.
21:50Well, Winston just said he thought it was more like 50.
21:52Yeah.
21:54Right little double up you two, ain't ya?
21:56It's the hairline, isn't it?
21:58Yeah.
22:02Sonia found out about the money I stole from her friends.
22:06She was so angry.
22:08But I think deep down
22:10she understood.
22:14And it got me thinking.
22:16Maybe we need to find
22:18a way to understand what happened between us two.
22:24Maybe it's that thing.
22:26That mum used to say.
22:30Loving someone's about putting them first.
22:34I need to stop feeling sorry
22:36for myself
22:38and just think about you.
22:42Because there's been
22:44no kind of life, has it,
22:46these last few years?
22:48Stuck in bed.
22:50No sunlight.
22:53No joy.
22:55Nothing.
23:01Do you remember Tunisia?
23:05I couldn't stand the heat.
23:07I had to keep my shirt on the whole time.
23:11But you?
23:14You lived on that beach.
23:18Hidden out at sea.
23:21Toes in the sand.
23:25The sun shining down on your beautiful face all day long.
23:55I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough
23:57to help you sooner.
24:03And I hope wherever you are
24:07the sun never stops shining.
24:19I love you.
24:21I love you.
24:41Mum.
24:45I think I know how to get Dad
24:47to back me once and for all.
24:51Hey.
24:53Are you OK?
24:55Yeah, Tommy's at home and the twins are with Jane.
24:57You didn't have to rush over.
24:59I know, it's just that you sounded upset.
25:01You should have seen Alfie.
25:03He tried to hurt the twins.
25:05And I really hurt him.
25:08I thought I could fix this on my own.
25:12But I think I need help.
25:14Hey, come on.
25:16I'm here now, all right?
25:18I'm here.
25:21I'm here.
25:27You're right.
25:29I needed to say goodbye.
25:33Debbie was such a good person.
25:35She'd want me to be happy.
25:37You know, to move on.
25:39I've got so much to look forward to.
25:44Hey, Brenda.
25:46I didn't realise you were coming.
25:48Our daughter died.
25:51I can't believe she's gone.
25:55My little girl's
25:57really gone.
26:01I just don't get it.
26:03Well, she was stable
26:05and I called the care home
26:07and they said she was fine.
26:11And then I get a call
26:13out of the blue saying that she'd gone.
26:15Something happened
26:17to our little girl
26:19and I'm
26:21going to find out what.
