00:00MUSIC
00:14Great.
00:15Happy birthday!
00:17Oh, thank you, boys.
00:19Your favourite, my...
00:21Ah, forget that, cos I'm gonna do you the full works, darling.
00:24Oh, look, I haven't even got time for cereal. I've got loads of work to do.
00:27Just us, being back together like this.
00:30It's everything a girl could want for her birthday.
00:32We're still having the party later, though. Yeah?
00:34Yeah, of course we are.
00:35And now we've got two reasons to celebrate the final few things
00:39to get in place today for the birthday girl
00:41before we start the Paradise Park dig tomorrow.
00:44Yeah. Great. Look, I've got to go.
00:47What about your presents?
00:49Oh, well, I'll open them later, sweetheart.
00:51I'll open this one at least, eh?
00:52It's only small and it's from all of us.
00:55Right.
01:01Who brought this?
01:02Yeah, I thought so.
01:07Oh.
01:08Oh, I love it.
01:16Look, I've got to go. I've got a supplier waiting.
01:19All right?
01:20See you later.
01:21See you later.
01:22You might want to reconsider that job offer.
01:27Yeah, well, I'm going to give you ten grand.
01:32Make me at Walford East, yeah?
01:41Morning.
01:42Hi, mate.
01:43You're busy.
01:44Thought you were supposed to be a man of leisure.
01:46Yeah, I've been reading up on your condition.
01:48It says that having a routine can really help.
01:52So you're really taking this care of things seriously, then?
01:55Yeah, yeah.
01:56I've even done it.
01:57Our time's over.
01:58Well, it's a work in progress, anyway.
02:00Oh.
02:01Um...
02:02Oh, it says that people with dementia can have trouble swallowing eating and that.
02:07You know, there's a danger of choking.
02:09Right.
02:10Sorry about that.
02:11I've got to eat like a toddler.
02:13Well, it's better to be safe than sorry, innit?
02:16Yeah.
02:17Yeah.
02:18Only, um...
02:19I'm not that bad just yet, so, uh...
02:22I'm sorry, Nigel.
02:23It's just a stupid thing to do.
02:24No, no, no, no, no, no.
02:25I just...
02:26No, it's really kind.
02:28Come on, innit?
02:29Er...
02:30Let's have a look at what you've got planned.
02:33Better be colour-coordinated.
02:35Please.
02:36Don't push it up here.
02:38Kojo living on his own.
02:39It's just not a good idea.
02:41Anything could happen to him.
02:42You all right, darling?
02:43I'm really excited today.
02:45I'm working at the arches with Harry.
02:47And if I deal well, he could give me a job,
02:49and I can afford a place of my own.
02:51Hey, nice one, Kojo.
02:53Do you think working with Harry is really a good idea?
02:56I mean, he's not particularly trustworthy, is he?
02:58I mean, you'll have a lot more fun working with Harry
03:00than cleaning glasses at the Vic.
03:03I didn't realise you were a mechanic.
03:05I used to fix cars for my uncle's cab business in Ghana.
03:08Oh.
03:09Yeah.
03:10You'll need the energy.
03:12No, thank you.
03:14I'm going to work!
03:16Hey!
03:17Have a good day, mate.
03:18Yeah, we'll see you later on.
03:19Ta-ra, darling.
03:21Money talks, then.
03:23Ah, depends what I'll be getting paid for.
03:26I can't be doing anything shady anymore.
03:28I told you.
03:29It ain't drugs.
03:31It's just a simple job.
03:35So, why me, then?
03:38Yeah, you're right.
03:40If it was completely above board, I wouldn't be asking you.
03:45So, it's Nick, yeah?
03:48I'll give you ten grand to move something from a construction site.
03:52Easy money.
03:54Nicola Mitchell. Easy money. There ain't no such thing.
03:57Ten grand.
03:59To do a little bit of lifting and driving.
04:02Take it or leave it.
04:03But it sounded to me like you really wanted to take Avani away.
04:07And Bournemouth ain't exactly marbs, is it?
04:10What if I'm gonna do it?
04:20I don't want anything that's gonna trace back to me.
04:23I ain't use anything that's mine.
04:26I'll get you a van.
04:27And everything you need.
04:29Come round later.
04:30And I'll give you the location of the site.
04:32But...
04:34Needs to be done tonight.
04:36Can't wait.
04:38Connie!
04:41Connie!
04:44What's up, mate?
04:45What do you mean?
04:46Well, something's definitely up, because you forgot this.
04:49And I've never seen you go anywhere about your book.
04:52I, er...
04:53I was just thinking about my exams.
04:55Oh, really?
04:58Alright, it's...
04:59It's Avani.
05:01I asked her out to Mum's party and she said yes.
05:05That's great, mate.
05:06Ain't it?
05:08Yeah.
05:09Well, is it though?
05:11No, no, it is.
05:12But it's just like...
05:13Well, every time I think about it, I panic and my mouth gets dry and it's like, what if I don't know what to say?
05:18Listen.
05:19Listen, it's only natural for you to feel a little bit nervous.
05:22But the truth is, all you gotta do is be yourself.
05:25Now, I remember when I met your mum...
05:28Huh?
05:29Felt a bit like you, Buck.
05:30Nervous.
05:32Worried it was all gonna go wrong.
05:34What? You?
05:35I know.
05:36Hard to believe, eh?
05:38Do you know what else is funny?
05:39When we first got together, the one thing she loved the most was when I made her this meal once.
05:46I don't know.
05:47Maybe it was more personal, but it made her laugh.
05:50And that day...
05:52That lunch...
05:54Something just clicked and...
05:56I felt like the luckiest man in the world.
06:00And now...
06:01We're all back together.
06:04I feel like that all over again.
06:07Her barman...
06:08Is your mate, Buck.
06:09And she already likes you.
06:11So all you gotta do...
06:13Is be yourself.
06:15We got this kid.
06:17We got it.
06:24Hey.
06:26What's up?
06:27Can't you sleep?
06:28I tried, I couldn't.
06:30It's been in years with Nigel.
06:31Oh, yeah, he's fine.
06:33Phil said that he went missing.
06:35But they found him, he's back home, and all is good.
06:37Oh.
06:38Well, that is good news.
06:39Yeah.
06:40I hope I've made biscuits.
06:41Oh.
06:43So I'm just gonna take them over to him and...
06:46Help cheer him up a bit.
06:48I was, er...
06:49I was a bit shy on him, wasn't I?
06:52Hey, mate, maybe I could take those, though.
06:54You know, give me a chance to apologise.
06:56That's a good idea.
06:58A cuppa and bickies.
07:00Answer to everything.
07:01Yeah.
07:03I've counted them.
07:06It says, er, 3pm afternoon quack.
07:13What's that, then?
07:14Eh?
07:16No.
07:17Snack, you donut, not quack.
07:19How's that look like a Q and a U?
07:21You're right.
07:22It's terrible.
07:25Fair point.
07:26Look, can we, er, go through the rest of this later?
07:29I've, um...
07:30I've gotta pop to the caf to, er, sort out when my next shift is.
07:34Do you fancy going to the Flicks this afternoon?
07:37It's, er...
07:38It's an old film I'd like to see.
07:39Yes.
07:40Is that a good idea, eh?
07:42After what happened yesterday?
07:43Yeah, I'll be all right.
07:45If you don't fancy it, just, er, take me to the cinema door and, er, I'll take it from there.
07:50Well, maybe a couple of days.
07:51Yeah, listen.
07:52I've been thinking, you know, you working at the Cavs here, it's not really a good idea.
07:56You know, it's too much stress and...
07:57Well, you don't need the money.
07:59And, er, I'm gonna pop over in a minute, Mark.
08:02Grab a few bits.
08:03I'll stick my head in the caf and tell Cathy that, er, you wanna jack it in, all right?
08:11That's the film.
08:12I just popped round to see how no one's used to it.
08:13Come bearing briskets.
08:14Well, I'll leave you to it.
08:15I'm going to see Cathy.
08:16Don't worry.
08:17I'm not gonna do a run at the Flicks when you've gone.
08:20I won't be long.
08:22So, you loosen the bolts on one side of the alternator.
08:25Let's take detention, knock the bell.
08:26Exactly.
08:29Hey, just the woman I want you to see.
08:31The ball ready for you and it's parked over there.
08:34I look forward to seeing you for it.
08:35Can't wait.
08:36See you later.
08:40Happy birthday, Mrs Mitchell.
08:41Thanks.
08:42Will you be having a cake?
08:44What's your favourite flavour?
08:45I haven't really got time to discuss cake.
08:47But it's your birthday.
08:49I would love to be able to celebrate my mother's birthday with her one more time.
08:54Oh, God.
08:55Sorry, Kojo.
08:56Yeah.
08:57Mum didn't mean to be harsh.
08:58I'll tell you what.
08:59Why don't you come to Mum's birthday party tonight?
09:01We'd like that, wouldn't we, Mum?
09:03Yeah, of course.
09:04Thanks.
09:05I'd love to come.
09:06Hey, you still got that old van you're working on?
09:11Yeah, it's done.
09:12I'm about to phone the bloke to come pick it up now.
09:14I couldn't borrow it, could I?
09:16I got this great deal on a job lot of gorgeous vintage lamps
09:19and the bloke was supposed to be picking them up.
09:21He's let me down.
09:22I don't know, Mum.
09:23I shouldn't...
09:24Oh, couldn't you tell him it'd be ready in the morning?
09:26Look, if I don't get down there, someone else will snap them up
09:29and I really wanted them for my party.
09:31Just park round the corner.
09:35Thanks, darling.
09:36See you later.
09:38See ya.
09:44Oh, you alright?
09:45Yeah, I heard about Nigel's condition.
09:47I feel awful.
09:48I snapped at him for getting a few orders wrong.
09:50I wish I'd none.
09:51Well, don't worry about it.
09:52I was meaning to come see you anyway, you know, about his job.
09:54Because, well, working ain't good for him.
09:56He's gonna have to quit.
09:58Oh, that's a shame.
09:59Right, Mum.
10:00Better start looking for an extra pair of hands again then, I suppose.
10:03Oh, as if you haven't got enough on your plate.
10:05Yeah.
10:06Er, right, well, I'll combine a bit with his final pay, yeah?
10:10Alright, Jess.
10:11How is he this morning?
10:12Oh, he's more or less bad with his old self,
10:14but he's got some crazy idea about going to the cinema this afternoon.
10:17Oh, well, why not if he feels well enough?
10:20Weekday matinee.
10:21Lovely.
10:22He needs a routine, does he?
10:24Well, doesn't having a job give you a routine?
10:27Well, maybe it's a bit too early for him to quit.
10:30Nah, it's too much pressure, innit?
10:32You know, when I was with Daniel,
10:34we used to grab every moment we could when he was well enough.
10:38And I used to call them the golden days.
10:40So, why not let Nigel have his golden days?
10:44You know what?
10:46While he's still coming.
10:48He's still coming.
10:49Ha, ha, ha.
10:50I'm coming.
10:51I was like a good one.
10:52No
10:52It's been tough for him.
10:53I don't want to go.
10:54I need to go.
10:55I'm going to go.
10:56I don't want to go.

20:01Not usually bothered, but boys have gone to a lot of trouble.
20:06Teddy said your Varney's coming.
20:08Varney invited her, but no hanging him over a bridge this time, okay?
20:12I admit, it wasn't my final start.
20:16But I'd do anything to protect my kids, especially a Varney.
20:20Well, my Varney's a gentleman, so you don't need to worry about him.
20:24Yeah, well, she's a young woman.
20:26I'm always going to worry about her.
20:28You worry a lot less with ten grand in your back pocket.
20:31So, the van is parked round the corner from the Archie's.
20:34Keys are there.
20:36The security cameras don't go up till the morning, so you're in the clear tonight.
20:40The exact location is...
20:42I had a job.
20:44I don't need the money badly enough to risk getting banged up.
20:48It's too late to change your mind now.
20:50Yeah, well, sorry, but my kids really need me.
20:54And I'm no good to them buying bars.
20:57No, I'm sorry.
20:59You seem to have forgotten what I've got on you.
21:02It's a terrible shame if I walked into Walford Nick and told them what I know.
21:09Well, maybe you're forgetting how much dirt I've got on you.
21:15You've got nothing on me.
21:20Because I make sure nothing ever leads back to me.
21:26But you...
21:29Everyone round here knows you're the local drug dealer.
21:33And like you said, you're no use to your kids behind bars.
21:45That's a little something for today.
21:51Go on, you earn that.
21:55I'm finally an independent man.
21:57What's the first thing you're going to buy?
22:02A drink for the lady with the nice eyes.
22:05Go on, son, you're learning.
22:09You all right?
22:10Mother's late for her own flaming party.
22:12Oh, yeah, she mentioned something about picking up some lamps or something.
22:15Maybe she got delayed.
22:16She ain't answering her phone.
22:18I'm going to go and see if she's at home.
22:19All right.
22:21Hi.
22:22Hi.
22:23You've got lovely eyes.
22:25Oh, thank you.
22:26Can I buy you a drink?
22:28Yes.
22:29Why not?
22:38Excuse me.
22:42You don't seem to be enjoying the party.
22:45Is it because it's very noisy?
22:48No.
22:50I was supposed to be here with Ivani.
22:51We had a date.
22:53Even got her a gift.
22:55But she's not here.
22:57I think she's changed her mind.
22:59I thought the Mitchells were very good at dating.
23:02Not all of us.
23:03I'm learning a lot from your brother.
23:06Just today.
23:08He got two dates so easily.
23:10All that chat comes natural to him, I suppose.
23:13Harry told Dylan how much she'd like to see them again.
23:17Didn't you tell Ivani that you were looking forward to seeing her?
23:20I think she could tell from when I asked her.
23:24I think.
23:26Your brother said I should become more Harry when it comes to romance.
23:31Maybe you should too.
23:37We can stay here all night arguing about it, but you know I meant what I said.
23:41Okay, fine.
23:44What the hell is it I'm moving?
23:46I don't want any surprises when I get down there.
23:49It's a body.
23:50It's just some junkie from years ago.
23:52She owed a lot of money.
23:53One of my fellas went down there.
23:54Things got out of hand.
23:56Unfortunately, she's buried under Teddy's new construction site,
23:59so I need the body moving before the morning.
24:04You want me to move a body?
24:07Yeah, police weren't looking for her then and they aren't now.
24:10Nothing dodgy you said.
24:12What have you done?
24:13Who's down there?
24:15Actually, you know what?
24:16I don't want to know anything.
24:18We never had this conversation.
24:21Nicola, I knew you were into some bad stuff, but this, this is next level.
24:26After everything I've been through, you want me to go down there and dig up some poor woman's body?
24:31Do you think you're some sort of saint?
24:33Right? You listen to me!
24:34I said I don't want to know!
24:36Know what?
24:38What's going on?
24:40Has he hurt you?
24:42Does she look hurt?
24:45Ask her why she was willing to pay me ten grand to go and move a body that's buried under your construction site.
24:52Whoever she was, I ain't getting involved.
24:54I was never here.
24:56Do you understand?
24:57Do you understand?
24:58Do you understand?
25:11You need to start talking.
25:12Do you understand?
25:13Do you understand?
25:14Do you understand?
25:15Do you understand?
25:16Do you understand?
25:17Do you understand?
25:18Do you understand?
25:19Do you understand?
25:20Do you understand?
25:21Do you understand?
25:22Do you understand?
25:23Do you understand?
25:24Do you understand?
25:25Do you understand?
25:26Do you understand?
25:27Do you understand?
25:28Oh.
25:30I guess you're not coming then.
25:32Oh, yeah. I'm sorry.
25:34She's not really feeling it.
25:36I mean, I should have messaged you, but I haven't even been on my phone like that.
25:40I'm sorry.
25:41It's all right.
25:42I didn't see you at school today. Are you OK?
25:46Yeah.
25:48I mean, I guess so.
25:49There's just, like, so much going on at the moment.
25:53I can't even get into all of it right now.
25:55No, it's all right. You don't have to tell me.
25:58Oh, I've got you something.
26:00Hey, you all right?
26:02I didn't invite him.
26:04I thought we could chill.
26:06Watch a movie or something like that.
26:10Bonnie, come watch it with us. Come.
26:13No, you're all right, thanks.
26:14I should probably get back to Mum's party.
26:16But you said you had something for me.
26:19It was nothing.
26:20Have a good night.
26:22Yeah, you too, mate.
26:24Have a nice time at Mummy's party, yeah?
26:28It was a deal that went wrong, yeah?
26:41It was an accident.
26:41Who's the body?
26:42He's just some junkie.
26:44One of my heavies went down.
26:45Are you lying, Nick?
26:46No.
26:47No, I promise you...
26:49Ravi said she.
26:51What?
26:51Whoever she is, I'm not getting involved.
26:53That's what he said.
26:54Oh, no, you misunderstood him.
26:56He meant me.
26:57Right, whatever she's done...
26:58I heard what he said, Nick!
27:01Look, can we just forget about this?
27:03Why, everyone is waiting for us!
27:06You want to go down to the bar and tell the boys that I found you trying to pay Ravi to
27:11move a woman's body?
27:13Please, not the boys.
27:13They don't need to know anything.
27:14We just got our family back together, and they can do this!
27:18God, it was four years ago!
27:19It's her, isn't it?
27:36And she is buried underneath Paradise Park.
27:43It's Shireen.
27:49It's Shireen.
