00:00Hey, hey, hey, Nigel. We're out of bread now. I could do with some fresh air.
00:04Don't give me that. I'm fine. Do you want anything?
00:07I'll come with you. Come on. No, I'm perfectly capable of going to the shop on the tod.
00:12Listen. Nigel, I'm not having a situation like that last week. I'll come with you.
00:15You don't need to.
00:18Good morning to you both. Happy Easter.
00:20Oh, good morning, Mrs. T. Are you having a lovely Easter?
00:23Well, um, so-so.
00:25Well, we ate some fry fish this morning, which didn't agree with him, which means that I have an Easter bunny suit that I need to fill today.
00:32Oh, is that right?
00:34Would that be of any interest to you, Nigel?
00:36Not a chance.
00:38Well, it's the last thing you need, Nigel. Come on.
00:42All right, come on. Let's go.
00:43Yes, all right.
00:45Sorry.
00:50Are you ready for what you will become?
00:55Yeah.
00:57Rude.
00:58I was watching that.
00:59Your dad said he ain't seen you all morning.
01:02Yeah, because every five minutes he just keeps asking me, are you good yet?
01:07I just needed somewhere else to chill.
01:10Chill?
01:11Or mope about?
01:15I thought doing that police interview would have given you a second wind.
01:19Didn't actually change what happened to me, though, did it?
01:21You should be out there enjoying the bank holiday with your mates, you know, doing...
01:27Mates?
01:28You know I'm public enemy number one.
01:31Amy still won't talk to me, and even Barney's leaving me on the ring.
01:35Barney?
01:36I mean, I'm surprised he was even invited to Amy's party.
01:39Yeah, well, he wasn't.
01:40But Tommy and that embarrassed him down the boxing den.
01:43You know, they're saying that he only joined the gym because he fancies me.
01:49Oh.
01:49Yeah, but obviously he doesn't.
01:51Mm-hmm.
01:53But just mates...
01:54Well, he was.
01:56Look, just text Amy.
01:58Grab a milkshake.
01:59Talk her through what happened at the station.
02:02Why would I do that?
02:03She'd want to be there for you through this.
02:05Not that house party drama, it's hard news.
02:07What have you got to lose?
02:13Look, I don't mind a tail star, right?
02:16You, me, a bit of retail therapy,
02:18but you're cramping up the excitement for my birthday, ain't ya?
02:22Listen, you won't be disappointed tomorrow or tonight.
02:26Mm.
02:27Mm.
02:31Junior!
02:32What's happening, mate?
02:33How's the recruitment going?
02:34Ha-ha, yeah, well, um, I just had a call for my ex.
02:39Well, you see, now the police are off my back over Cindy's attack.
02:41I'm, uh, I'm allowed to see Xavier again.
02:44So I'm flying out this afternoon for a couple of weeks.
02:46Oh.
02:48Uh, what about Paradise Park?
02:50Yeah, well, um, you'll have to come for me.
02:53Mm.
02:54Please, come on, one dad to another.
02:56Teddy, I appreciate it.
02:58Really.
02:58You owe me, Junior.
03:00All right, all right.
03:00You owe me.
03:02For the cab journey?
03:04Oh, I'm sorry, babe, but we're going to have to put Westfields on ice.
03:06I am now recruiting builders for the rest of the day.
03:10For what?
03:11Now, don't flip me a lid.
03:12Now, give me a reason to.
03:13That project in Dartford, I took it on.
03:17You what?
03:18We agreed to cut all ties with that place.
03:21Said it would only open up old wounds for Harry.
03:24Well, it could help him.
03:25I'll have me ear to the ground
03:26and might even clear our names once and for all.
03:28Well, he does not need the unnecessary attention.
03:32How could you go behind my back like that?
03:34I thought we were a team.
03:35Oh, really?
03:36Well, we weren't much of a team
03:37when you told the boys about us reuniting.
03:40Oh, what?
03:41So you did it out of spite?
03:44You've got to pull out.
03:45Now.
03:46Nick, I know.
03:47I've been a bit shady here,
03:48and for that, I am sorry.
03:49But the money on this project, I can't just...
03:51I don't give a toss about the money.
03:54Dartford needs to stay in the past
03:55for the sake of our family.
04:02Oh, right.
04:04You better pick up Albie.
04:05Can't have him missing out on the Easter egg hunt.
04:08I told you.
04:08We ain't going.
04:10Oh, come on.
04:13Aside from chaperoning me,
04:15you've barely left the house.
04:17It'll be fun.
04:19Claire used to love the Easter egg hunt.
04:21It's my favourite time of year.
04:22Nigel, you ain't up to it.
04:26Last week was a blip.
04:28I'm tip-top.
04:30Yeah, right.
04:32Yeah, I love some.
04:33Making crispy bacon.
04:34Cremated bacon, more like.
04:37I'm going to prove it to you.
04:40Meet me in the square.
04:41What are you on about?
04:42Just get Albie and be there.
04:44Nigel, Nigel, what are you on about?
04:46Nigel!
04:52Right, that's me off, then.
04:56I'll let you know when I arrive in Norwich, shall I?
04:58Yeah, sure.
04:59Hmm.
05:01Not asking for hugs,
05:02but a proper goodbye would be nice.
05:04You know, maybe a smile.
05:08What's up?
05:10Varney.
05:11She wants to hang out.
05:12Like, is she delusional?
05:14Well, that's a bit harsh.
05:16I mean, she's your mate.
05:17You should give her another chance, shouldn't you?
05:18Chaos follows that girl around.
05:21I just need some breathing space.
05:23Well, you could always come with me.
05:26Visit your auntie Susie in Norwich with her broken collarbone.
05:29Nah, you're all right.
05:30Yeah, I didn't think so.
05:32They weren't too keen either.
05:34But I'll miss you both.
05:35But needs must.
05:37Miss you too.
05:38She fell down like a sack of squads.
05:50Hold on.
05:51Look at this one.
05:52Look at him, fool.
05:54Zero chill.
05:56There you go.
05:58Here's another one.
05:59No chill.
06:00Shouldn't you be at training?
06:02Or one over a Varney already?
06:03Send him more vids if you want.
06:05Nah, it's packeting.
06:06Varney, stay there.
06:06Everyone's got to start somewhere.
06:08I can't see many girls hanging around you two stuffing your face full of pastries.
06:13Tommy, acting a big man.
06:14Come on.
06:15After the year you've had, I looked after you.
06:16You should be ashamed of yourself.
06:17What's it got to do with you?
06:19Just chill out.
06:21Look, we're just playing.
06:23Yeah, go on.
06:23Playing.
06:24Play elsewhere.
06:28Come here.
06:29Always put your back on the other.
06:30You barely know me.
06:32Anyways, thanks to you, I'm getting all this adgro in the first place.
06:35Yeah, listen mate, there's nothing to do with me.
06:37So what happened then?
06:39I'd, uh, nothing.
06:41Well, you've got nothing of you.
06:43Look, I don't need or want your help.
06:45I don't want that.
06:46If you don't keep your distance open, I'll get my dad to sort you out.
06:51Well, I've been waiting for more for these for 20 minutes.
07:00Oi, I've been waiting for more for these for 20 minutes.
07:11Oh yeah, sorry.
07:13I had Sonia on the phone fretting about us not letting her dad out.
07:16I mean, who'd lock a bloke in a garage?
07:18But, time to a bedpost.
07:19Careful, alright, watch the road.
07:22Annie, you gonna miss the egg hunt?
07:24She's looking for her furry wings.
07:26Well, I haven't seen them since we left the Vic.
07:27Annie!
07:28Who's been up, aren't you, now?
07:30Oi, I tell you, I miss living in this chaos, you know that.
07:32You just keep telling yourself that.
07:33Just the people I want to see.
07:35Now, I've got a little update for you on the Vic.
07:38All being well, completion of the project is expected in about two weeks.
07:43Yes!
07:44Well, at last the Queen can return to her palace.
07:47Unless you want to enjoy Sonia's vintage bathroom a bit longer.
07:50This is good news, isn't it?
07:51It's brilliant news, thank you!
07:54Thanks, mate.
07:55Right.
07:57Annie, come on!
07:58Good day, man!
08:00It was nice to see you.
08:01Come and in.
08:03Hey, Nigel.
08:05I know.
08:06You lost the plot or something, eh?
08:07No.
08:08I'm having a bit of fun.
08:10Not wasting away, hiding.
08:13We're alive, Phil.
08:14Two months ago, that nearly weren't true for you.
08:16We should be embracing Easter, embracing every day while we can still remember them.
08:22I told you.
08:23On hip-hop.
08:25Oh, hip-hop.
08:26I told you.
08:29Don't think it's a hip-hop.
08:32What's that?
08:33Is that Nigel?
08:34That's something you can't unsee.
08:36Oh, be nice.
08:37Kids are having a lovely time.
08:39Yeah, but I kind of wish I was in Bali, like Sonia, you know, mango margarita in one hand.
08:43Yeah, screaming you, born in the other.
08:46Screeching Bianca, more like.
08:50Forgot your bunny ears, then.
08:52Well, uh, I won't ask you how you keep him, because that question used to drive me up the wall when I got discharged.
09:02Mind you, I'd have swerved this lot and all.
09:05So, it's nice seeing you out and about again.
09:08Well, it's, uh, it's all down on me.
09:10It's all he's doing.
09:13Already, already.
09:14What?
09:15That, that goofy bunny got the mighty Phil Mitchell moving.
09:19Well, I suppose it's easier getting through the dark days with a good mate in your corner.
09:27You're lucky.
09:27After three, the Easter egg hocks kind of begin.
09:31Three, two, one.
09:34Over there, up, the trees everywhere, around there.
09:39Not in there, though.
09:45Miami's clearly earning me.
09:47Solid advice there, Mom.
09:49Maybe she's dropped to find out the book or something.
09:52Don't give up just yet.
09:54Who are you trying to keep?
09:57But, Mom, I don't even like pistachios.
10:00Well, the party's tomorrow and this is the only cake they had left.
10:03Tell me you didn't set this up.
10:04As if.
10:05Maybe it's baked.
10:06Come on, talk to her.
10:08Mmm.
10:08You ain't a bag.
10:11Come on, let's skip this.
10:12You know, you're busy with work and...
10:14Hold up, hold up.
10:15You were the one that were banging on about not having lunch.
10:18Come on.
10:18Before you and Molly know, mate, you got laughed out of the gym.
10:22Go on, throw him a punch.
10:24Come on.
10:24Come on.
10:29Hey.
10:31Do you fancy having your lunch over here?
10:34He'd love to.
10:36I guess that's me, Dump, then.
10:39For a Mitchell of all people.
10:41I know our families don't always see eye to eye,
10:44but for their sake, I'm willing to bury the hatchet.
10:46Yeah, calm down, Cashmere Al Pacino.
10:50It's not like I'm actually bothered.
10:52Have a nice lunch.
11:00Yeah, boy.
11:01Here.
11:01Oh, uh, fancy hot wings with your shakes?
11:11I mean, if you're offering, I wouldn't say no.
11:15Thanks, Bob.
11:16Yeah, there's one in here.
11:22Yeah, well done.
11:24Well done.
11:26Those two kids over there keep counting me with mini eggs.
11:29Mrs. T said that there's a golden egg somewhere.
11:33Ben needs her first dibs.
11:35Are you sure?
11:37You sure you ain't getting tired?
11:38Not going on yet yet.
11:40No, I'm not saying.
11:40I'm not saying.
11:41I've only been here an hour.
11:42Hang on.
11:46What's he doing?
11:47Oi!
11:49Sonny.
11:49Oi!
11:50Get off her.
11:51Don't you touch her.
11:52You won't, mate.
11:52Claire.
11:53Claire, come with me.
11:53Oi, oi.
11:54Don't go with it, stranger.
11:55Oi, oi, oi.
11:56Come on, Claire.
11:57Grant, this pedo is trying to snatch Claire.
12:01Why do you call it a pedo?
12:02It's really good to do anything silly.
12:03Listen, it's not Claire.
12:05No, it's not Claire.
12:07Nigel, it's okay.
12:08You're okay.
12:08No, Yolandi.
12:10He's not okay.
12:10Nigel, what's the matter?
12:18Nigel!
12:19Nigel!
12:31I heard what them lot done to you down at the gym.
12:34Heard or saw the videos?
12:37Both.
12:37No, but don't sweat it, though.
12:41It's them lot that are acting dumb.
12:43Yeah, but on the one that looks it.
12:44No.
12:45Not at all.
12:46Not to me.
12:49Look, next time I see Tommy, see if I don't box him in his greasy chin.
12:53Oh!
12:54Oh, gosh.
12:56Now that, that is embarrassing.
12:58Yeah, you're telling me.
13:00Sorry about that.
13:00And I'm sorry for ignoring your text.
13:07It's okay.
13:09As long as we're cool now.
13:11Yeah.
13:12The last couple of weeks have been really long.
13:16Have you been going through some stuff?
13:20Being here with you is the first time in ages that I've felt normal.
13:23Well, look, I don't have the ins and outs, but I'm always around if you want to chill.
13:31Thank you, Pop.
13:33I really appreciate it.
13:36Have a good night.
13:40Oh, Jean, I'm not letting this slide.
13:42Not after what I'm with Dean.
13:43The man is clearly unwell.
13:45Now is not the time to be demanding.
13:46You just never mind the apology.
13:48I want an explanation.
13:50Hey, Phil.
13:51We need to have a word.
13:52Okay, can we not have a ruck in front of the kids, please?
13:55It's just a misunderstanding.
13:57I'm sure Nigel's sorry.
13:59It was a bit bizarre behavior there, Phil.
14:01And not for the first time.
14:03Yeah, well, Hope's all right, isn't she?
14:04Oh, yes, but that's not the point.
14:07What are you hiding?
14:08It's not my place to say it.
14:16Look, I've never seen Nigel behave like that.
14:18I mean, he'd look manic.
14:18Well, what is he, then?
14:19Is he drinking on drugs?
14:21Spocky-bocky what?
14:22Right, you know, I'm just going to ask him myself.
14:24Oh, no, better still, I'm going to phone the doctor
14:26because I think he needs professional help.
14:28Hold up, hold up, hold up.
14:31All right, he's, uh...
14:33He's got dementia.
14:36At his age.
14:37Oh, the poor man.
14:40He's got a poor man, nothing.
14:41He's a liability to the kids' safety.
14:43Is this what you were covering up last week?
14:46And it's just you caring for him?
14:49Are you coping okay?
14:50Yeah, of course I am.
14:51Well, you can't just brush it off, Phil.
14:53It's a big responsibility,
14:55and you need to be discussing care plans and things.
14:57Listen, everything's fine, all right?
14:58So just, just, just drop it, please.
15:01My chair.
15:12My chair.
15:19Have you gathered yourself?
15:20Genuinely...
15:21No, you don't need to explain.
15:22I know.
15:23I guess everyone does, sir.
15:24I imagine the catch is out of the bag, yes.
15:30It's like a slow burn horror movie.
15:34What time that passes, the more of a shell I'll become.
15:39You've been dealt a very difficult hand, Nigel.
15:42But you can't let fear take you over.
15:49It's like being dragged into this black void.
15:53I'm desperately trying to pull myself out, but I can't.
16:01And I'm prepared for that.
16:06What do you mean by that?
16:09Made peace.
16:10It is what it is.
16:11It sounds like the words of a man who's giving up.
16:18What do you mean by prepared?
16:20No, no, no.
16:21Nothing.
16:22I'm rambling.
16:23Ignore me.
16:24I will not have you right yourself, if you hear me.
16:32It is all in the hands of the Lord.
16:37You have to take strength from that, Nigel.
16:40Yeah.
16:41You're right.
16:44It is all in hand.
16:47It is all in hand.
17:05Bade.
17:06Dafts.
17:07It's not going to cut it.
17:09Look.
17:09I don't have the first installment, all right?
17:12Sharon's gonna be after me bits.
17:14She does like a younger man.
17:17I'm stressed.
17:20You're too skilled to be out of work for long.
17:23Plus, it's London.
17:24I understand, mate. Cheers, Andy.
17:26Just let us know if you hear about anyone.
17:28Oh, Capardo.
17:29Well, drop me out, Nick.
17:30I'm recruiting builders, not serial killers.
17:33Uh, sorry, did you say you were looking for builders?
17:37Yeah, that's right. Why?
17:38Do you know any?
17:39You're looking at one?
17:40See? London.
17:42So, uh, what's the job?
17:44Treacherous backstabbing of your first ball.
17:47Private joke. Ignore her.
17:49I'll tell you what, why don't I go and get the paperwork
17:51and we can go through it and sit down in the caf,
17:54say, meet there in about an hour?
17:56Yeah, all right. You're on.
17:59You should join us and all.
18:01See what a blinding project this really is.
18:04Can't. I'm busy.
18:06Oh, come on, Nick.
18:07Harry won't get any heat from this.
18:09I promise. That's what you're worried about.
18:11Why can't you just support me on this?
18:16Suit yourself.
18:17Because I'm keeping the project.
18:19And you either get on board
18:21or take the running jump.
18:23Your choice, darling.
18:24You happy now?
18:25You know Barney's getting bullied because you're meddling.
18:38I don't need updates from you about my son.
18:40Our son?
18:41Had him humiliated.
18:43Just to drive a wedge. Nice.
18:45He's not yours.
18:47Everything I do is for my boys, right?
18:50I know what is best for them.
18:52Keep up your psycho-antics. You won't have any boys left.
18:55Hmm.
18:56What are you, Mystic Meg, now?
18:59Do you know what?
19:01You're done at the bar.
19:03You can't find me over that.
19:05Well, I just did. Pretty boy.
19:08So jog on before you meet Teddy Sledgehammer.
19:12Hey.
19:27Ollie nab this.
19:29Wanted you to have me.
19:33So you didn't make it to the car show then?
19:35Engineering works on the tube.
19:37Well, you should have come and had lunch with us in that case.
19:39I didn't want to interrupt the celebrations.
19:43Because you don't feel like celebrating, huh?
19:48Look.
19:52Gojo, something's bothering you.
19:54You know you can talk to me.
19:56And I listen.
19:58With no judgement, I promise.
20:04I hate living in that pub.
20:06The noise.
20:07The smell.
20:08No space.
20:09I can't even think properly when I lived there.
20:12And every night I get nightmares about the explosion.
20:15I don't want to go back.
20:17Ever.
20:21Does my dad know you feel like that?
20:23I don't want Kwame to be there.
20:25I'm ungrateful.
20:26No, no, no.
20:27No.
20:28No, dad would never.
20:32Okay.
20:34So...
20:36What, you want to live on your own, yeah?
20:39Maybe.
20:40I think I can.
20:41Why not?
20:42Yeah.
20:43Yeah, you're a grown man.
20:45And look, dad will understand if living in the Vic makes you unhappy.
20:47Good who was right for you, eh?
20:49Okay.
20:50So, er...
20:51So you want me to talk to him?
20:53I'm a grown man.
20:54I can tell Kwame myself.
20:57Okay.
21:03Arge!
21:04Arge!
21:05I've, er...
21:06I've been calling you.
21:07Yeah, sorry.
21:08Um...
21:09Phone went dead.
21:10Um...
21:11I'm all good.
21:12Um...
21:13Chat with Mrs. T put me right.
21:16Well, listen, er...
21:18Pete was asking questions, so I've had to...
21:20Yeah, I-I assumed.
21:23Look, I'm pretty knackered, so...
21:25All right, well, listen, I'll drop Albie off and I'll come back with you.
21:27No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, come...
21:29No, you finished the egg hunt.
21:31Be merry.
21:32Listen, I've been thinking, yeah, maybe we should have a chat, you know, talk about future long-term stuff, innit?
21:37No need.
21:39You were right.
21:40I need to...
21:41take things easier.
21:43Nap.
21:44Peace and quiet.
21:45Do me the world of good.
21:46I think you can take over for me.
21:50Create memories that, er...
21:52You know, the kids will never forget.
21:56Give me a couple of hours alone, yeah?
22:03Come, mate.
22:04Let's go back to the park.
22:05Come.
22:11Don't judge me.
22:12It's a cheat day and, er...
22:13They're discouraged.
22:15Hey.
22:18What's wrong?
22:20What's up, mate?
22:22Heartless cow has fired me, mate.
22:24Who?
22:25Nicola?
22:26What I was trying to do was...
22:29Make that training stuff.
22:30Just wanted to help the kid.
22:31Give her confidence boost.
22:33Well, he's got his dad to help him with that, hasn't he?
22:36Look, if you've had a falling out with Nicola, you're better off staying out of her and her family's way.
22:40Which is a wrong one.
22:41And from what I've heard, anyway.
22:43I just felt sorry for him.
22:45Is that a crime?
22:46No, I hear you.
22:47But, you know, you've got Dolly out there.
22:49Rather than waste your energy on some random kid, you're better off focusing on her.
22:55She still needs you.
22:57Remember that.
22:58She's in Raven.
22:59Wait.
23:00I'll get that.
23:01I do.
23:02Just wish we could bring Nicola down a peg or two.
23:05I think she's got a brass neck.
23:06I'll chug her at some point.
23:07Don't you worry about it?
23:08Excuse my lateness.
23:09I had to pick this up.
23:10A customer before your meetings, is it?
23:11Yeah, it's an apology.
23:12My King Edward.
23:13I should never have doubted you.
23:14You and the Crown Jewels have my full support.
23:17So, what did I miss?
23:18Well, it looks like I found myself a construction leader.
23:20I'm not sure.
23:21I'm not sure.
23:22I'm not sure.
23:23I'm not sure.
23:24I'm not sure.
23:25I'm not sure.
23:26I'm not sure.
23:27I'm not sure.
23:28I'm not sure.
23:29I'm not sure.
23:30I'm not sure.
23:31I'm not sure.
23:32I'm not sure.
23:33But I found myself a construction leader.
23:35Well, then I'm right on cue.
23:37Bubbles and builders, my favourite combo.
23:39Shall I?
23:40I normally say yes to anything.
23:41Which, in fact, is how my job came about.
23:44But you still haven't told me much about this project.
23:46Well, the climate will be a bit different from what you had down in Os.
23:50Yeah, and the locals.
23:52Think more one-eyed creek than Bondi Beach.
23:54She's skidding, obviously.
23:56Look, the plan is to turn a Dartford Dirtbox into a luxury apartment complex.
24:02Yeah.
24:03Have a gander.
24:04Paradise Park.
24:05Paradise Park?
24:11In Night of the Living Dead, what substance did they use to make fake blood?
24:16Come on.
24:17You know this one.
24:18Chocolate sauce.
24:24Back already?
24:25Where's, um, the boy?
24:27Oh, I dropped him off for Jane.
24:29Who's you just talking to?
24:30Thinking out loud ain't a crime, is it?
24:35I'm having a nap, then.
24:36What is this?
24:37The Spanish Inquisition?
24:38I don't need checking up on Phil.
24:41All right.
24:43Something going on.
24:45What, aside from me losing it out there,
24:48or being run ragged trying to get you up and out and not topping yourself?
24:52Yes, I have dementia.
24:55But I know still how to care for me.
24:58All I wanted was some time alone to gather my head.
25:02Is that too much to ask, really?
25:04I'm not an invalid yet.
25:06Uh.
25:21Citizen Kane.
25:23The last line.
25:25What is it?
25:26What is it?
25:28I don't know.
25:29I don't know.
25:30I don't know.
25:31I don't know.
25:32I don't know.
25:33I don't know.
25:34I don't know.
25:35I don't know.
25:36I don't know.
25:37I don't know.
25:38I'm not a future self, it's, um, Christmas Eve, 2024.
25:40And if you're watching this, it means that you're worried that your mind is, um, at the risk of, um, offending myself.
25:53turning to mush so i'm going to ask you some questions and um sitting in now i i can't
26:02imagine a time when i don't know the answers so if you can't answer if you get if you fail
26:10the test then you've got to take action while she still came
26:18you
