00:00🎵
00:31I just spoke to the estate agent.
00:34I've told them to take this off the market,
00:37so we can stay here, us and the baby.
00:42Debbie would have wanted you to be happy. I know she would.
00:46And she was so loved, I mean...
00:49You should take comfort in that.
00:52Well, she always had lots of friends.
00:55I mean, of course, they all drifted after she had Deb.
01:00But now she's gone, they've all come calling back.
01:04Yeah. Well, you didn't drift, though.
01:07You were there right till the end.
01:11You did everything for Debbie.
01:13You were the best husband she could have wished for.
01:18I'll get that.
01:30Tommy. Let's go.
01:34How's Nugget?
01:36At home, fighting with Avani over the gaming controller.
01:40I think she's missed him.
01:42Looks like she might let him win for a change.
01:44Dad, you're walking well.
01:47Dad's almost out of his meds.
01:49I've just got to pop out to the chemist later.
01:52Oh, I can do that.
01:54There's no need to fight over who gets to help him.
01:57I'd pick the pills up myself
01:59if I wasn't preparing for a business meeting.
02:02Business meeting? In Midlothi?
02:04Yeah, there's this building management firm
02:06that wants to put us on a retainer.
02:08Should be very lucrative.
02:10So I'm thinking of taking them to Walford East,
02:12wine and dine them, turn on the Vanessa charm.
02:15Just don't overdo it, Dad, yeah?
02:17Well, maybe I should be there.
02:18You know, take the strain off a bit.
02:20I think I can handle a business meeting
02:22without my son holding my hand.
02:25Drop the meds off in the call centre when you pick tomorrow.
02:36It's coming, it's coming, it's coming.
02:38Go, go, go, go, go.
02:40Yay!
02:42Oh, that's great.
02:43I feel like I'm a touch old for the whole birthday thing, though.
02:46And I said nonsense.
02:48No-one's too old for a birthday party.
02:50Hold on, what? Party?
02:52Yeah. I mean, it's small.
02:54I mean, tiny, actually.
02:56I printed off a load of invites for the whole market.
02:58Honey!
03:00Martin, your family have worked Bridgestreet Market
03:03longer than any of us have been alive.
03:05Well, maybe not, Billy.
03:06Oi!
03:08All right, fair enough.
03:10And when I told Mr Lister that today was your big 4-0,
03:13he insisted that I get cover
03:15so the whole entire market can come celebrate with you.
03:17Which is lovely. I know.
03:19Except it's not my fault, is it?
03:21Sorry, I told you.
03:23He's 43 if he's a day.
03:25I'm 39, actually.
03:27That's all right. I mean, that counts.
03:29Anyway, 2 o'clock, Square Gardens.
03:31In this?
03:33That's all right. It's going to clear up. I checked.
03:36Good luck.
03:38Oi, 43?
03:40Yeah, ACIs, you know you can get cream for that.
03:44Oh!
03:46See something you like?
03:48Hmm?
03:50You know, if you thought it was a nightmare
03:52being married to a Slater,
03:54that family are next level.
03:56You hate yourself, yeah?
04:06I think Ian got a bit carried away.
04:08You can feed the 5,000 with that, love.
04:10Thank him for us, wouldn't you?
04:12Yeah, of course.
04:13I would have left it a couple of days
04:15before I come over to see you,
04:17but me, Ian and Lexi, yeah, are going over to see Ben.
04:20Yeah, Calum can't get the time off work,
04:22so Ian nabbed his ticket.
04:24Oh, I bet you can't wait to see him.
04:26I just wish it was under different circumstances,
04:28but, you know, just to be in the same room as him, son...
04:31I know he's a grown man and all,
04:33but he's still my little boy.
04:35This'll be you in 20 years.
04:38Listen, I know it's selfish and everything,
04:41but I am so glad you're staying on the square.
04:44So am I.
04:45We're hoping to have a quick word.
04:47How soon is it?
04:48Come in.
04:49We already spoke the other day.
04:51Nothing wrong, is there?
04:53I think it's best if we sat down.
04:57I'm sorry.
04:58It's all right.
04:59It's all right.
05:00It's all right.
05:01It's all right.
05:02It's all right.
05:03It's all right.
05:04It's all right.
05:05It's all right.
05:07What's going on?
05:10All Dad wants is for us to follow him round like little puppies.
05:13Every time I try and step up with the businesses, he blocks it.
05:16Yeah, well, don't sound so surprised.
05:18You knew exactly who you were dealing with.
05:20Maybe.
05:21Maybe I'll just back off a bit.
05:23Vinnie, know your audience.
05:25Since when has your father respected anyone who backed off?
05:30The post-mortem's being carried out.
05:33While we wait for the results, your wife will stay in the mortuary.
05:37We just wanted to let you know you can see her.
05:40Why would I want to do that?
05:42She'll be all cold.
05:43I couldn't, though. Sorry.
05:48Although there was no chance of recovery,
05:50Rhys was devoted to Debbie, right until the end.
05:53Stop saying that.
05:57Sorry.
05:58Sorry.
05:59Sorry.
06:01Thanks for letting us know. It's really kind.
06:03I'm sure it's our turn.
06:05Oh, no, no. Thank you.
06:10Thank you.
06:16Darling, are you all right?
06:18I know you're grieving, but it was really thoughtful of them, you know, to pop by.
06:23Yeah, I know, and I didn't mean to take it out on you.
06:27It's just...
06:30I wasn't with her at the very end.
06:32You keep saying I was, but the fact is, Debbie died all alone.
06:37Well, I didn't mean you were literally with her.
06:40It just meant that your heart was with her.
06:43It's like that Elvis song.
06:47It's Honky Tonk Angel.
06:49You were always on my mind.
06:53Debbie was always on your mind.
06:55She still is.
06:57But you need to start thinking about yourself now.
07:00You know, you've got yourself all worked up,
07:02and I think it might be because you haven't had a chance to say a proper goodbye.
07:06I've already said most, haven't I?
07:11Come on, Kat, I am your longest-serving driver.
07:13I shouldn't have to beg for the decent fares.
07:15British Airways ain't at Heathrow as much as you are,
07:18and you're already getting twice as much as the other drivers.
07:20Well, sign me up for a couple of night shifts, then.
07:23Darla's been on the blow.
07:24She needs a deposit for her new flat, plus uni fees.
07:27It's just never ending, Kat.
07:28All right, a week of nights, and that's it.
07:30Thank you, boss. I do much appreciate it.
07:32Boys, you touch them parcels again, I have your heads.
07:35Hey, hey, hey, you, go and keep your eye on your brothers. Go on.
07:38Yeah, Tommy, go and sort the parcels out.
07:40I'm not paying you to sit on your backside all summer.
07:45So how's he been this morning?
07:47Well, there's been no fisticuffs, if that's what you mean.
07:50Got the social called and they said they're closing the case.
07:53But they could inform the school so they can keep their eye on him.
07:57I don't know what they think they're going to find.
07:59I know we're not perfect, but we're a decent family and we love our kids.
08:02Yeah, yeah.
08:04So, anyway, um, Freddie has informed me that little Mo and Lyn
08:08are going to be going to the caravan for a bit,
08:10as you were meant to go last week. Fancy it?
08:12Yeah, yeah, I'll just chuck my knickers in my designer handbag, yeah,
08:15and leave the gremlins to take care of themselves.
08:17Oh, Kat, they won't be taking care of themselves.
08:19Maybe if me and Tommy spent a bit of father-son time,
08:22he wouldn't be stuck on the idea of you and Phil maybe getting back together.
08:26This is just a rough patch, all right?
08:29It's not like it's our first one.
08:31I am diggling with it.
08:42Phil, just the man I've been looking for.
08:44Look, you thought any more about us, we've got enough troubles behind us.
08:49Oh, come on, Phil, you're almost too warm and cuddly.
08:52I can't cope!
08:54Oi, Rhys! Hold up.
08:57Al's not a good time. My wife's dead, and she died.
09:01Yeah, well, it wasn't exactly out of the blue, was it?
09:04State she was in.
09:06Now, I want to see a return on my so-called investment.
09:09I really don't have the headspace for work, right?
09:11And in the meantime, I want updates. Regular ones.
09:14That's not how it was. Look, these things take...
09:16We can do it my way, all right?
09:18Or I'll turn you upside down and shake you till the money falls out.
09:21It's your choice.
09:49A whisky, please, Tracy.
09:51Just tell him I'll speak to him soon.
09:54Right, thanks, Ken.
10:00Well, if you don't need a night in a club full of sweaty men, I don't know who does.
10:04What?
10:05You're admissible, mate. Come on, a night out at Deakhead.
10:07I'm not in the mood, Johnny.
10:09You've changed your tune.
10:11Hi, mate.
10:12Erm, Trace, can I leave those on the bar, please?
10:15Yes.
10:16Thank you.
10:17Here you are, mate.
10:19Honey and Nathalie are just throwing a little party for Martin later.
10:22Probably a good idea to spend some time in mates at a time like this, yeah?
10:25You heard that?
10:27Yeah.
10:29I'm not in the mood, Johnny.
10:31You've changed your tune.
10:32Honey and Nathalie are just throwing a little party for Martin later.
10:34Probably a good idea to spend some time in mates at a time like this, yeah?
10:37You heard that?
10:38Yeah.
10:40Listen, I'm so sorry.
10:42That must have been complicated, what with her condition and that.
10:49God's worth that.
10:51I mean, drinking never solved anything.
10:53Take it from someone who knows.
10:56I thought I'd already done my grieving for Debbie.
11:00Yeah, mate, listen.
11:02It will creep up on you.
11:04When you think you're over it and then suddenly something will remind you.
11:08Someone will write you the other whatever and then you're on the floor again.
11:14Sonia thinks I should go and see her in there.
11:17Well, you know.
11:20Thinks I should say goodbye.
11:22Properly.
11:24Yeah, it's a tough one.
11:27Debbie hated the cult.
11:29The thought of seeing them, you know.
11:31Yeah.
11:33Listen, they encouraged us to spend some time with Peach after she was delivered.
11:38They say it helps with the grieving process.
11:41Right.
11:43That day, it was the worst day of my life.
11:45Really was agony.
11:46Except for when it was just me, Witt and Peach.
11:52I don't know what I'd have done if I didn't get that time to say goodbye, you know.
11:57You'll be all right.
11:59With the help you're with me.
12:03Some gullies here, mate, yeah?
12:05Thanks.
12:06Cheers, Frank.
12:14So, what's good here?
12:17I'm Vinnie Panesar.
12:20I used to run the pest control business with my brother Kira.
12:23Sorry that I am late.
12:26You should try the masala fries. Best inside of the river.
12:41You were right.
12:43I should go and see Debbie.
12:45I, um...
12:47I spoke to Zak.
12:49And, um, with Peach, you know, he found it...
12:53Comforting.
12:56Yeah, I just hope I can find some sort of peace.
13:00And I'm sorry how I spoke to you.
13:02You're not yourself at the moment.
13:04I understand that.
13:06I saw you talking to Phil earlier. What did he want?
13:10I told him what happened. He was just passing on his condolences.
13:14Really?
13:15Didn't look like that.
13:17Well, I suppose. I mean, he was hassling me a little bit.
13:22I set up an investment for him and Sharon,
13:24and he thinks he's going to see a return in five minutes,
13:27but I kept telling him that isn't possible.
13:29He was talking to you about work at a time like this?
13:32I did say my head wasn't in it, but you know Phil.
13:35Yeah, I do.
13:36Where are you going?
13:37I've known Phil Mitchell a very long time,
13:39and sometimes he just needs telling straight.
13:41I'm sorry. Wait.
13:42Don't be silly. Get out of my way.
13:44You'll make things worse. Ten times worse.
13:46Phil will take against me. He'll fire me, and I'll need this job.
13:49No job is worth being spoken to like that now. Out of my way.
13:52You can't talk to Phil.
13:53I can, and I will.
13:54You can't.
13:56Because I stole from him.
14:06You all right, mate?
14:08Yeah, fine. I'm just not a good asshole.
14:13Oh, Nugget's back home if you want to go see him.
14:17His dad will kill me.
14:19You all right?
14:20Three chocolate muffins and the strongest coffee you've got, please.
14:23I hate chocolate muffins.
14:25So, Lottie, can we have crisps instead?
14:27Oh, you pack it in, Imperia.
14:30All right?
14:31All right.
14:33Oh, we're going to go park later. Want to come?
14:36Er, I suppose I better ask first.
14:39Mum, I'm going to the park with the lads.
14:42Right.
14:43Is there a question in there somewhere?
14:46All right, fine.
14:47But you take your brothers with you.
14:49You are joking.
14:50No, I'm not.
14:51They're bouncing off the walls in there,
14:52and if I don't work, you don't have a roof over your head.
14:56Thank you.
14:58Tommy.
15:00It wasn't hard, was it?
15:04Shall we go?
15:05Go on.
15:06Yeah, come on.
15:09Boys, come, let's go.
15:16I know we haven't been together long.
15:20But I thought I knew you.
15:22The fundamentals.
15:24Kind, safe.
15:26Well, I am those things.
15:27So what happened?
15:29You looked at Phil and Sharon's spreadsheet and just couldn't resist?
15:32Look, I deal with money every day.
15:34I don't even think of it as money.
15:36It's just numbers.
15:38Well, usually.
15:40But we've had some big expenses these last few months.
15:42We've barely been keeping our heads above water.
15:44And I was willing to sell this house, Dot's house, to deal with it.
15:47And I didn't want you to have to do that.
15:49So instead you decided to steal?
15:50Yeah, to pay for the care home fees.
15:52So you wouldn't be so stressed about money.
15:54I was only thinking about you and the baby.
16:01Look, I'm not a bad man.
16:05I wouldn't do a bad thing unless I couldn't see any other way.
16:11But you do know me.
16:13Fundamentals.
16:15I promise.
16:19Nicking off Phil? Of all people?
16:23I'm in big trouble, aren't I?
16:25What am I going to do?
16:28You're going to get your coat on.
16:30We're going to get in the car and you're going to go and see Debbie.
16:33We'll deal with the rest later.
16:43Sorry, mate.
16:44That's your Jack?
16:46I saw Callum earlier.
16:48He's like a bit of a sore head. It's not like him at all.
16:50Yeah, well, he's got things on his mind.
16:52Yeah, like what?
16:54He wanted to go and visit Ben with Kathy in and Lexi.
16:57Only we couldn't spare him.
16:58Life on cover, eh?
17:00Not that I'm expecting anyone to get the violins out.
17:04You might want to check him in.
17:06If you're interested in being a mate.
17:14If you'll excuse me for a minute, nature calls.
17:20Five more minutes and he'd sign on the dotted line.
17:25I know you told me not to come,
17:27but this is a family business, Dad, and I won't be shut out any more.
17:33Get another round of drinks.
17:35When he comes back, close the deal.
17:38What's up?
17:40What's up?
17:51How's Devinder settling back in?
17:53He's fine.
17:55Settled.
17:57Are you at least going to let me know when his next dialysis session is?
18:00He's got a phone.
18:02If he wants you to know anything, he'll tell you.
18:04We're his parents and I'm asking you.
18:09If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have to beg for news about my own son.
18:14No, no, not now.
18:16He's in the middle of an important meeting, Bria.
18:18Oh, no, I'm sorry.
18:20I'd hate to upset him by trashing his entire life.
18:23Oh, I'd need you on standby,
18:25so whenever there's an issue with any of our buildings...
18:27I hope you know what sort of lying sex pest you're getting yourself into business with.
18:31Excuse me?
18:32So sorry about this. Keep your voice down. Stop making a scene.
18:35Sleaze is what he is.
18:38A scummy, horrible, pasty ball of human sleaze!
18:42You're embarrassing yourself.
18:44I think I'd better leave you to it.
18:46No, no, no, no.
18:47Mr Morris, we've finished lunch anyway.
18:51Come back to the office. We can continue the conversation there.
18:54We won't be beaten on our prowess or professionalism.
18:58You have my word.
19:01OK.
19:03Can you keep her under control?
19:05Don't talk about me like I ain't here.
19:07Wish you weren't here.
19:17Dad, you all right?
19:21It's just the room on the end. Take your time. Take as long as you like.
19:33I'll be waiting just outside.
19:37Miss Debbie, just talk to her.
20:03Hello, Debbie.
20:08Look, you two.
20:10Don't move this time, yeah?
20:12Mate, you nearly took his eye out with that last shot.
20:15Is that all?
20:16So?
20:17What do you mean, so? They're little kids, mate. This ain't right.
20:19Oh, look, they're fine.
20:21Plus, you'll have to put up with his whining all the time.
20:23Tommy, I'm telling you now, don't do it.
20:25I'm telling you now, don't do it.
20:27I'm telling you now, don't do it.
20:29Put up with his whining all the time.
20:30Tommy, I'm telling you now, don't do it.
20:32Oi!
20:34They're your little brothers. What are you playing at?
20:37See you.
20:44Who do you think you're talking to?
20:46You better watch yourself, yeah?
20:48Unless you want the social at the door again.
20:50I'm your mum.
20:53I thought I was talking to my little boy.
20:56I don't think I know who you are anymore.
20:58Whatever.
21:00You all right, boys?
21:02Come here. Come.
21:04Let's go home, yeah?
21:13Oh, he's here! There you go.
21:15Still going with the 40th birthday thing, then?
21:17Well, of course. Just in case Mr Lister pops up.
21:19Right.
21:21And an Olympic theme, I see.
21:23I'm telling you, that was Billy's idea.
21:25Tell you what, I've been loving the Olympics.
21:27You been watching?
21:29Well, I never miss the women's beach volleyball, to be fair.
21:32Yes, it was Billy's idea to put the flags up.
21:34You know how he likes to talk about the story.
21:36What story's that?
21:38Oh, mate, I tell you what, go and grab Billy
21:40and ask him about the time he held the Olympic torch.
21:42Yeah? Yeah.
21:45I'm sorry, no offence, but if I have to hear that story one more time...
21:49I'm with you, Martin. I'd cry. Actual tears.
21:52Oh, hey! Here they are.
21:54Hey, kids.
21:56I can't believe you're having a fake 40th birthday party.
21:59Yeah, well...
22:00Do you know what's the best bit? Nobody's even questioning it.
22:03Well, Winston just said he thought it was more like 50.
22:06Yeah.
22:08Right little double up you two, ain't you?
22:10It's the hairline, isn't it?
22:16It's when you found out about the money I stole from my friends.
22:20She was so angry.
22:22But I think deep down she understood.
22:28And it got me thinking.
22:30Maybe we need to find a way to understand what happened between us too.
22:38Maybe it's that thing that Mum used to say.
22:44Loving someone's about putting them first.
22:47I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and just think about you.
22:55Because there's been no kind of life, has it, these last few years?
23:01Stuck in bed.
23:03No sunlight.
23:05No joy.
23:08Do you remember Tunisia?
23:12I couldn't stand the heat.
23:14I had to keep my shirt on the whole time.
23:18But you...
23:21You lived on that beach.
23:25Hidden out at sea.
23:28Toes in the sand.
23:32And you...
23:35Toes in the sand.
23:39Sun shining down on your beautiful face all day long.
24:05I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to help you sooner.
24:12And I hope wherever you are,
24:16the sun never stops shining.
24:24I'm sorry.
24:28I'm sorry.
24:34I'm sorry.
24:39I love you.
24:57Mum.
25:00I think I know how to get Dad to back me once and for all.

25:09Yeah, Tommy's at home and the twins are with Jane.
25:12You didn't have to rush over.
25:14Well, no, it's just that you sounded upset.
25:16You should have seen it, Alfie.
25:18He tried to hurt the twins.
25:20And I really hurt him.
25:23I thought I could fix this on my own.
25:26But I think I need help.
25:29Hey, come on.
25:31I'm here now, all right?
25:33I'm here.
25:41You're all right.
25:43I'm looking to say goodbye.
25:48Debbie was such a good person.
25:50She'd want me to be happy, you know, to move on.
25:54Not so much to look forward to.
25:59You've been...
26:01I didn't realise you were coming.
26:03Our daughter died. What else would we do?
26:07I can't believe she's gone.
26:11My little girl's...
26:13really gone.
26:16I just don't get it.
26:19Um, well, she was stable
26:21and I called the care home and they said she was fine.
26:26And then I get a call out of the blue saying that she'd gone.
26:35Something happened to our little girl.
26:39And I'm going to find out what.
27:25You
