00:29What did that little girl ever do?
00:33To live a life of losing everything she ever loved.
00:38She didn't do nothing.
00:40She just wanted someone to love her,
00:43to care for her,
00:45to pin her drawings on the wall.
00:51And I'm sitting here,
00:53and I'm still alone.
00:55And out there, they're lights.
01:00And behind the windows,
01:03little girls are being tucked up by their mummies,
01:07and told stories and sung to.
01:12And they feel happy,
01:15and safe,
01:18and wanted.
01:20And I'm still here.
01:23And I have to go out that door,
01:26and face the world.
01:28And everyone I see has got someone.
01:32The worst part
01:34is seeing them complaining,
01:37and fighting amongst themselves,
01:40and they don't know what they got.
01:42shut up!
02:03Morning.
02:05Sleeping beauty.
02:07Have I been down here all night?
02:09Well, I did try and make it.
02:11Oh!
02:13Oh, blight, it's all the time I'm doing the caffeine, Arthur.
02:16Are you sure that's a good idea for yesterday?
02:18I'm sure it wasn't as bad as it sounds.
02:21I'm not senile yet.
02:23Besides, Mr Leeson will kill me if I have any more time, Mum.
02:27We ain't taking all this.
02:38Well, of course we're not.
02:39I'm putting all this in the garage to get it out of the way for them.
02:41Oh, you really don't have to do that, Sonia.
02:43This is your home.
02:44We'll just keep it warm for you.
02:46Yeah.
02:47I can't believe we're doing this.
02:49I felt sick all morning.
02:50You know what?
02:51Fear is good.
02:52Means you're up for the challenge.
02:54Right, I'm off to see Lily.
02:56I, er, said I'd spend some time with her before we leave.
02:58Yeah, don't forget the Albert later.
03:00Yeah.
03:01Oh, really?
03:02Now, I don't want a big fuss.
03:03Oh, well, tough.
03:04Cos that is exactly what you're getting.
03:06We heard back from everyone except Bianca.
03:09Yeah.
03:10She'll be there.
03:11Yeah.
03:13All right.
03:14So you're just gonna let her go, yeah?
03:18What's the matter?
03:24How'd you do that?
03:26Terry done it.
03:28He said women like me deserved it.
03:30Yeah?
03:31You need to tell Sonia.
03:32Hmm.
03:33Cos if he can switch like that, she needs to know.
03:35She won't lick me.
03:36She think I'm just saying it to make her stay.
03:38You need to tell her.
03:39And you need to tell her now.
03:44Look, I'm not stopping.
03:45I'm just checking with Elaine knows the numbers for the Albert later.
03:48Oh, yeah.
03:50Oh.
03:51That's Jamie.
03:53I never really knew him.
03:55They're lovely kids, I heard.
03:56Hmm.
03:57The only one Phil didn't screw up.
03:59Feels like a lifetime ago.
04:00There's someone I won't miss.
04:01Elaine's not a fan, you know.
04:02She says she's allergic, but she don't like him.
04:03Maybe you could have him for me.
04:04Oh, please, Kath.
04:05I mean, he feels safe with you.
04:06You know, he knows your voice, doesn't he?
04:07Well, I suppose it's the least I can do, yeah.
04:08Right, well, I'll pop in to see Elaine, and I'll see you over the Albert later.
04:09All right.
04:10She's just in the lounge with the baby.
04:11Okay.
04:12All right, Kath.
04:13Parrot's sorted.
04:14Son, you can't do this.
04:15Oh.
04:16Was last night just an act, was it?
04:17Listen to me.
04:18No, no, no, let me guess.
04:19Is he a mass murderer?
04:20Is he Lord Lucan in disguise?
04:21Oh, no, no, no.
04:22No, no.
04:23Is he Lord Lucan in disguise?
04:24Oh, no.
04:25No, no, no.
04:26No.
04:27No, no.
04:28No.
04:29No, no, no.
04:30No.
04:31No, no, no.
04:32No, no.
04:33No, no, no.
04:34No, no.
04:35No, no, no.
04:36No, no, no.
04:37No, no.
04:38No, no.
04:39No, no, no.
04:40Last night, me and Terry, we had words and I called Mum and then when he saw her calling
04:51me back, he, he got physical with me.
04:56Terry did that!
05:01Did you hurt my sister?
05:18What?
05:19Just answer the question, did you or did you not attack her?
05:22Oh, I grabbed her arm but just to stop by giving me a right hook.
05:25I'd have ripped your head off if I could.
05:27So he was just offending himself, he weren't just angry about you phoning Mum?
05:31Er, no.
05:32No.
05:33No.
05:34No.
05:35He should have heard the things he was saying, Son.
05:36About, about me, about us, about women like us.
05:38Don't fall for it, Sonia.
05:39Look, in a couple of hours we will be on that plane.
05:42Don't let her get in your head.
05:44I need to think.
05:46Where are you going?
05:48Just look after the baby.
05:49I need to be on my own.
05:54I warned you.
05:55Just drop dead.
05:56Shame last time I said that.
05:59It actually worked.
06:07Oh, she's back!
06:09Thought the birds stopped singing.
06:11You got any way to talk to your boss?
06:14Nice time.
06:16Well, you know what they say.
06:17Break's as good as a rest.
06:19I, er, could have come back to better news, though.
06:22These gym sessions with my son.
06:25They end.
06:26Now.
06:28No.
06:29No, me and Teddy, we've got an agreement.
06:31Oh, well.
06:32Unagree it, then.
06:34Unless, of course, you want another visit from my friends.
06:37It's quite an idea.
06:38Your friends don't work on me no more.
06:43If you want me to stop seeing Barney,
06:45you're gonna have to tell him yourself.
06:46Oh!
06:47That's him now.
06:48I'm gonna be late, so, er,
06:50that's all sorted.
06:52You don't know where to find us.
07:22I don't know how you swung this one.
07:29Said I couldn't see you today,
07:31that I'd have to wait for weeks.
07:32As you put in an order, so.
07:34I wasn't having it.
07:35You know me, son.
07:36Always know the right strength to pull,
07:37but you're gonna have to get a move on.
07:39I booked a spa treatment at three,
07:41you know, I'm gonna get my nails done.
07:43And you miss me.
07:44Hmm.
07:45If I had ever ignored my mother like that when I was your age,
08:00I'd have got a slapper on my head side and no dinner that night.
08:03I'd like to see her try.
08:06How come you were so hot for your mother?
08:12Are you any good at folding sheets?
08:15No, my mum just froze them all in the cupboard.
08:17It's time you learned.
08:18Give me a hand.
08:21Right.
08:23Find the corners.
08:24Right.
08:29Now make it nice and straight.
08:36Right.
08:40Good.
08:43I used to do this with my grandmother.
08:47One of life's simplest pleasures she used to see.
08:51Freshly washed sheets straight from the line.
08:55Yeah.
08:56I do like fresh bedding, to be honest.
08:57Well, maybe now you can teach your mother to fold them properly.
09:01That would mean she would actually have to listen to what I want for a change.
09:06Yvonne, is there a problem at all?
09:10No.
09:14I mean, sort of.
09:17Yeah.
09:20I got in trouble a few weeks ago.
09:26With the police.
09:29I see.
09:32And does your mother know?
09:34Yeah, she knows.
09:38The police, they...
09:41They thought that I had drugs on me.
09:43Oh, and...
09:45But I didn't know.
09:47They searched me.
09:49Like...
09:50They really searched me.
10:01And how they searched you, Yvonne.
10:07Was it in an appropriate manner?
10:09According to them, it was.
10:24But...
10:26They made me get naked.
10:28I beg your pardon?
10:30I had to take my clothes off in front of strangers.
10:34And I didn't even do anything wrong.
10:37I didn't...
10:39Now I just keep thinking about it all the time.
10:42Shh!
10:46It's okay.
10:49It's okay.
10:51I've got you.
10:58Something funny?
11:00Just...
11:02Video.
11:04Pranks of that.
11:08You boys know my son.
11:09Right?
11:10Barney Mitchell.
11:12Yeah.
11:13We know him.
11:15Then you'll know he's been at the gym lately, trying to get buff.
11:17Barney.
11:18Between you and me,
11:20Zach thinks he could do with a bit of encouragement, you know?
11:23Mates cheering him on from the sideline, that sort of thing.
11:27Yeah.
11:28He can do that.
11:30Good.
11:31He's in the gym now, actually.
11:33You know, if you're not busy.
11:35I mean,
11:36don't tell him I told you, but
11:38he's dead set on trying to win over that Barney girl.
11:41He likes a Barney.
11:42Oh, look at me.
11:43Embarrassing mum.
11:51Mum's the word.
11:52Yeah?
12:08Those things first, and once importantly,
12:09is he better looking than me.
12:12I'm kidding.
12:13Course he ain't.
12:15So,
12:16you believe Biagra?
12:17You don't think she's making out?
12:19No.
12:20I believe her.
12:21But then there's your answer.
12:22So what?
12:23Just scrap building a relationship with my dad?
12:25I mean, what...
12:27What if he was defending himself?
12:29And regardless of where I go or who with,
12:31do you really blame me for wanting to get away?
12:33So,
12:34you're saying about your dad.
12:36This is about you leaving Walford
12:38and not for some extended holiday
12:41you'll think about going for good.
12:44But it's my home.
12:46Oh.
12:47Got a place, son.
12:49It's there, innit?
12:52You want someone's permission.
12:55And you want mine.
12:56Why me, Annie?
12:57Why this old Jalbert?
13:00Well...
13:02I suppose you're the closest thing I've had to a father figure since Alan.
13:09Don't get me wrong, he was great, but...
13:12You know, I've spent my whole life watching people doing things with their real dads
13:17when I've never had a clue who mine was.
13:20Those few months
13:23when I thought it was you...
13:25I finally knew what it was like.
13:31Oh...
13:33You...
13:35You're gonna make my mascara run.
13:40My old mate, God bless him.
13:42He'd give me two pieces of advice, son.
13:44I've always stuck by it.
13:46Good decisions
13:48come from experience by experience.
13:50And it comes from bad decisions.
13:53What am I learning, cos?
13:54It never stops.
13:56And the second?
13:58It's easier to ask for forgiveness
14:01than permission.
14:03Food for thought, eh?
14:05Whatever happens, son.
14:07You keep in touch, yeah?
14:09Course I know.
14:11Make sure you look after that parrot.
14:12He knows all my pen numbers.
14:18That's it, party mate.
14:20All the way up!
14:21Good, good, good.
14:22Two more, two more, push!
14:24Go on, mate!
14:26Sorry.
14:28Sorry, what are you talking about?
14:29We go to a failure and that's what you did.
14:30Well done.
14:32Well, I reckon my mum can lift more than that.
14:34Hey, what are you doing?
14:35Put that phone away.
14:36Don't worry, I got the shot.
14:37What are you filming, mate?
14:38Well, houses are finally gonna know you've been bulking up.
14:40She won't tell from them mums.
14:42Phone away now.
14:43Get out the gym.
14:44Well, I thought you wanted an audience for him.
14:46Let's cheer him on, aren't we?
14:47Are you invited?
14:48Of course I didn't.
14:50Hey, look, he's about to crack.
14:51Get that on video, quick.
14:52Thanks for nothing.
14:54Go on, what are you doing?
14:55Barney, where are you going?
14:56Barney, mate!
14:58Get out the gym!
14:59Barney!
15:15So, how do you know Sonia?
15:17Oh, um...
15:18No, listen, she was a little girl.
15:21Um...
15:22Claire was best mates with her back in the day.
15:25Oh, right.
15:27Um...
15:29About yesterday.
15:30No, no, no.
15:31I...
15:32I get confused sometimes.
15:33That's always nothing to worry about.
15:35Oh, it's okay to not be okay, you know.
15:39I'm bipolar.
15:41And my daughter's bipolar too, so...
15:44Um...
15:45Out of all the many things that we've learnt,
15:47um...
15:48We learnt that, uh...
15:49Keep your thumbs bottled up,
15:50and pretending that everything's okay
15:52doesn't really work out in the end.
15:55So, um...
15:56If...
15:57If...
15:58If...
15:59If you'd like to talk to someone,
16:00well, you know where I am.
16:01Uh...
16:02All right.
16:04Mm-mm.
16:08Do you think she'll mind having her leave-in doing a gay bath?
16:11You're kidding, innit?
16:13Your cousin, Sonia,
16:14well, she's got form with the ladies.
16:16Yeah, she did that before it was trendy.
16:18Did it?
16:19I don't think you can say that, though.
16:21I just did.
16:22All right, where is she?
16:23The champagne's getting warm.
16:25Oh, she's here!
16:27Yeah!
16:33Unless she's not mucking a fuss.
16:34You think we let you sniff off without giving you a send-off?
16:36Oh!
16:37Ah!
16:38And Phil's playing for the drink,
16:39so I'm getting me Maysworth.
16:40You've changed your tune,
16:42now there's a free bath.
16:43I'm just messing, all right?
16:44And...
16:45It's all about the other day,
16:46I'm...
16:47I'm sorry.
16:48I overreacted.
16:49An apology from you and Bill?
16:51Mm.
16:54Champagne to the reddit.
16:55Toast incoming, yeah?
16:58Sore sense in the end, then?
17:00That's my girl.
17:01Look at my bed!
17:02Speech!
17:03Speech!
17:04Er...
17:06Seriously, I don't know what to say.
17:11Thank you, you know?
17:13All of you.
17:14And not just for this, but...
17:17Or for supporting me in the last few months.
17:21And years.
17:23Some of you, even decades.
17:25If it takes a village to raise a child,
17:28then there's definitely a few of you in here
17:30who've put the hours in.
17:32Yeah, well, it's time well spent, if you ask me.
17:34Come on, everybody, to Sonia!
17:36Thank you!
17:37Thank you!
17:38Thank you!
17:39Thank you!
17:44Hang on a sec.
17:45I won't be a minute.
17:46Oh, imagine.
17:51Bianca!
17:54Why don't you come in?
17:55Have a drink?
17:57Son, you can't go.
17:58There's something not right about this.
17:59Don't give up, do you?
18:02Listen.
18:03She's my sister.
18:04She's just looking out for me.
18:06Anyway.
18:07I've made my mind up.
18:09I am going to go away.
18:10Just not with him.
18:12What?
18:13You are joking.
18:14I mean, it's all sorted.
18:15We've made plans.
18:16Yeah, I know.
18:17But my plans have changed.
18:19It was a very kind offer to me.
18:22Alright?
18:23And even you suggesting it has made me realise what I need
18:25and it ain't Warford right now.
18:26So I thank you for that.
18:29I'm going to go and stay with Whit for a bit.
18:31You know, get some clarity.
18:33And then decide where we're going to settle.
18:35But it won't be Randy.
18:37Sonia.
18:38I'm handing you all this on a play here.
18:41My mind's made up.
18:43And you.
18:44You'd do anything not to end up on your own, wouldn't you?
18:47Even if it makes everyone else unhappy.
18:49You are just like your...
18:51Go on.
18:52Why don't you finish that sentence?
18:53Just like my mum?
18:54Yeah.
18:55Well, at least I know now.
18:56All those years ago when I walked out on you.
18:58Yeah.
18:59I made the right choice.
19:00You're nothing but a bunch of freeloading chavs.
19:02The lot of you.
19:03You want to say that again?
19:05Oh, what's this?
19:06The lynch mob?
19:07Why don't you stay around a bit longer, Terry?
19:08And maybe you'll find out.
19:17I'm really sorry, son.
19:28I know how much you wanted that to work out.
19:32Yeah.
19:33Well...
19:35It's lost, isn't it?
19:36Why don't we go and have a little drink in there, eh?
19:40I'll meet you back at home.
19:42I'll meet you back at home.
19:52They were just, like, picking on me and laughing.
19:55Oh, sweet.
19:56One of them filmed it and...
19:57I know that I like it.
19:58I've got you.
19:59I've got you.
20:00Who does something like that?
20:02Come on, Mum.
20:04I've got you.
20:06I've got you.
20:07I know you're feeling sorry for yourself for anything but that.
20:15Thanks very much.
20:17Did you nip that from the party?
20:19No, it was on the ass.
20:21Oi!
20:22The money for the flights.
20:23I want it back.
20:25Well, yeah.
20:26I mean, if that's all you worry about, you can have your money.
20:28You're really not bright, are you?
20:30It's not about the money.
20:31I come back here to make amends to prove I was a nice guy.
20:34So you didn't come back here for me at all?
20:37This has always been about you, hasn't it?
20:39I wish I'd met a fortune teller back in the 80s.
20:41I would have not gone with your mother
20:43and the world would have been spared from the oxygen-breathing waste!
20:46Hey, you!
20:51Oi!
20:53Oi!
20:54Oi!
20:55Let me out!
20:56Oi!
20:57Shut up!
20:59We should probably let him out.
21:01Yeah.
21:02Probably.
21:03Maybe we should give him time to calm down first.
21:05Yeah.
21:06That's a good idea.

21:20Well, you said your goodbyes.
21:21You packed your bags.
21:22What about you?
21:23What about me?
21:24Someone's got to be here to let him out.
21:26Can't stand the man, but I've been where he is.
21:29Oh, come on, come.
21:30We've got four tickets.
21:32Oh, it's...

21:44Alright?
21:45I can't pack with stuff.
21:47Oi!
21:48Shut up, you!
21:49We'll let you out eventually, when you'll be quiet.

22:19He's going to leave it at the airport anyway.

22:27Haha!
22:28George, do me a favour.

22:30Would you just wait at least about three hours before you let him out?
22:32Understood.
22:33A bit terrible, you know.
22:34Because I was only at the party for two minutes.
