00:00I'm not made out of glass, you know.
00:28I'm just taking it from somebody who knows.
00:30I'm asking you, paying from the people who care about you doesn't do anybody any favours.
00:35Dad, tell him.
00:36Wise words.
00:37So if I were you, I'd listen.
00:39Come on, get in.
00:41Morning, neighbours.
00:42You got some nerve.
00:43Dad, leave it, yeah?
00:44After what she tried to pull yesterday, no chance.
00:45My ex, my problem.
00:46Just get in the car, yeah?
00:47Zak said that you pulled the wool over Martin's eyes.
01:00It's called being a decent person, Rabby.
01:03You should try it sometime.
01:06Where are you going?
01:07Hospital.
01:08How about you mind your own business?
01:10I am not missing his next dialysis appointment, Rabby.
01:15Don't worry, baby.
01:17I'll be right behind you, yeah?
01:18When are you going to get it, Priya?
01:19I don't want you.
01:20You've ruined it.
01:21Another one for you.
01:22At least there's not more flowers.
01:23You could have been florists at this rate.
01:50Do you know why people give flowers when someone dies?
01:55Before embalming became common practice, the bodies would smell.
01:57They'd use them to hide the odour.
01:59Right.
02:00You're still angry with me, aren't you?
02:03Well, I'm not exactly calling up the palace and suggesting the knighthood, no.
02:07I mean, seriously, Rhys, what were you thinking?
02:09I know how much this baby means to you.
02:11I had to do something.
02:12You dare put this on me?
02:13So it was all right to use Debbie's money, just not her parents, just so I know I went wrong?
02:16Come on, Rhys.
02:17You're not stupid.
02:18If you would have told me the truth from the start, I would have said no.
02:21I would have put my foot down.
02:22And then we wouldn't be having a baby.
02:24Look, I took a risk, Sonia.
02:25I thought I was doing the right thing.
02:27You do realise the position this puts me in, don't you?
02:30How it makes me look.
02:31Using their daughter's care home fees to pay for my IVF.
02:34I told you.
02:35We cleared the air.
02:36It's sorted.
02:37What, just like that?
02:38We've come to an arrangement.
02:40Debbie's life insurance, it's a lot.
02:42Enough to reimburse them anyway.
02:43And she was okay with that, was she?
02:45No mention of going to the police or reporting us for theft.
02:48I mean, at least we haven't got to think about that with Phil Mitchell.
02:50He'll just pop round with a baseball bat.
02:53She did hint that was still on the table, if I didn't pay him back.
02:56But like I explained to her, I had power of attorney.
02:59As Debbie's husband, I've done nothing wrong.
03:02I just need to lay Debbie to rest.
03:05It's hard enough without all this.
03:07Yeah.
03:09It is.
03:11Morning, mate.
03:13Just a latte with an extra shot, please.
03:15Lighting the candle at both ends?
03:17Yeah, if you like.
03:18Letting the sad reality.
03:20I was up all night waiting for a call from Ben.
03:22How is he?
03:23You tell me.
03:24I fell asleep.
03:25I'm just an idiot.
03:27It must be difficult, you know, with the time difference.
03:30It's a big difference between adapting to a long distance relationship
03:33and your husband doing time in an American prison.
03:36Sorry, sorry.
03:37It's just one of them mornings.
03:39Maybe you'll hear something later.
03:41Oh, I had a text from Kathy earlier to say they landed in one piece.
03:45Don't know how she survived the flight, though.
03:47Alex would have been as good as gold.
03:49What are you talking about, Ian?
03:50I mean, can you imagine sitting next to him on a nine-hour flight
03:53and him talking about pies and profit margins?
03:57Listen, why don't we go for a little drink?
04:00My treat.
04:01Hon, that's really sweet, but I just...
04:03No, no, actually, I'm not going to have it.
04:05If we're mad enough to marry into this family,
04:08the least we can do is stick together, right?
04:10So, meet me in the Vic later?
04:13Yeah. Yeah, all right. Sounds good.
04:15Good. See ya.
04:16See ya.
04:22Here you are.
04:24Mine's fire.
04:26Look, Priya, if you're going to have a go, please can you just...
04:28Who said I'm going to have a go?
04:29Are you going to finish that?
04:30No, knock yourself out.
04:34How are you feeling?
04:37Yeah, fine.
04:39I thought I'd be the last person you'd want to speak to, though.
04:42Years back, I got my mate, Abbey Lambles,
04:45so smashed on Cheekville cos she needed her stomach pumped.
04:48Her mum went full psycho, banned me from seeing her.
04:51OK, so?
04:53She asked me to be her bridesmaid a few years back.
04:56They divorced after three years,
04:57and now he's shacked up with her little sister,
04:59but you get my point.
05:02Nugget is big enough and ugly enough to make his own mistakes.
05:06This ain't all on you, babe.
05:09Do you miss him?
05:10Yeah, of course I do.
05:12But it's Ravi and Nish.
05:14They won't let me go anywhere near him.
05:16Oh, yeah, well, I can relate.
05:18And you know what?
05:20Screw him.
05:21What do you mean?
05:23Nugget's got dialysis today.
05:25Six hours hooked up to a machine
05:27with no-one but my ex and his psycho granddad for company.
05:30But I'm his mum.
05:32I get visiting rights.
05:33No way.
05:34Look, they will flip.
05:36Plus, I thought he hated you anyway.
05:38Well, that's where this becomes a mutually beneficial situation.
05:42Bit of quid pro quo, if you get me.
05:46So you're saying you want a quid?
05:48I'll get you more time with your bestie
05:51if you put in a good word for me.
05:55Look, I don't know...
05:56You want more time with him?
05:58Trust me.
06:00You need me on side.
06:02Yeah, I understand that.
06:04I just need to know how long it will take
06:06before you can release the life insurance.
06:08Appreciate it, but I do have a funeral to pay for.
06:13Right, well, thanks for nothing.
06:31SIGHS
06:56Yeah.
06:58We could put the Olympics on.
07:01Yeah, remind me I'll never be a pro athlete.
07:04Nice one.
07:07Well, what can we do?
07:09Could do with a drink, something cold.
07:11Then to take your time, yeah?
07:13Well, that could do with a coffee.
07:15Now you mention it, actually.
07:18How about you, Dad?
07:19Ah.
07:22There.
07:23There.
07:45What's that?
07:47Mate, what are you doing here?
07:49Well, I've got some special access.
07:54DOOR SLAMS
07:55Surprise.
08:01Look, this really ain't my area.
08:04But as far as I can see,
08:06if he really was the sole power of attorney,
08:09and he'd smooth things out with Debbie's mum,
08:12I don't see how there's a case to answer for.
08:14Really?
08:15Oh, that's brilliant. Thank you, Jack.
08:17You'd be so relieved.
08:19SIGHS
08:21What?
08:23Look, he might not have committed a crime,
08:26but, son, he's using his comatose wife's parents' money
08:32to pay for your IVF.
08:34I mean, surely you can see why people might find that...
08:37What?
08:39Well, go on.
08:42I don't know. Morally wrong.
08:45Well, I was actually only asking you for your professional advice.
08:48But thanks for having our backs, yeah?
08:50I have got your back on your family.
08:52He's my family.
08:53You go after him, then you're tarring me with the same brush.
08:56Thanks for your advice.
08:58Sonia.
08:59Oi!
09:04Bro, I was actually better quite without you, you know?
09:08Missing school for once, eh?
09:13Are you mad?
09:16They said how many of these sessions you might need, then?
09:18Like you care.
09:19Look, she's still your mum.
09:21She does care.
09:22Yeah, when it suits her.
09:26You know it was her idea of sneaking me in here, yeah?
09:28I asked you to soften me up.
09:33That's being a snake, not a mum.
09:37Dad was right, and Brother G.
09:39If you want to believe your grandad's lies, fine.
09:41I saw you!
09:42What, you think I'm lying too?
09:43You ain't ready, and that is OK.
09:46But I just want you to know that I am here for you,
09:48wherever and whenever you need.
09:51Bro.
09:52Come on, talk to her.
09:59I'll just wait outside.
10:01Three times a week to start.
10:05The hope in my kidneys will kick in at some point.
10:08Try and avoid a transplant.
10:10OK, well, that's promising, then, yeah?
10:13Is it?
10:14Still could have months of this.
10:16Maybe years.
10:18Yeah, well, no matter how long it takes,
10:20I'm going to be with you, bro.
10:21Every step of the way, trust me.
10:25You want me to get you to a room, then, yeah?
10:27Shut up, Mum.
10:29Oh, so I'm Mum again now, am I?
10:35You better have a damn good explanation for this.
10:40Number 25's been taken off the market already.
10:43Flattening an offering, were you?
10:45Well, Martin's told Stace that Sonia was selling out
10:47because Rhys was being in trouble.
10:49So?
10:50So, then his missus carks it,
10:53and then suddenly they're staying on.
10:56I smell an insurance payout.
10:58Yeah.
10:59Morning.
11:03Morning.
11:05Oh, you've looked better.
11:07Hey.
11:08Yeah, turns out 39 is too old for all-day drinking.
11:13How's Rhys?
11:14Well, he's a bit all over the place, actually.
11:16Rubber knickers round here ain't helping.
11:18Yeah, about that.
11:20I have tried to shut it down.
11:22Told them it's none of their business.
11:24Spit it out, Martin.
11:25Look, people just saying it's bad taste that, you know,
11:28Rhys' wife has died and all of a sudden
11:30all your money troubles have gone away, you know?
11:32Why aren't you benefiting from it?
11:34So that's the problem with gossip, isn't it?
11:36You only get half the story.
11:37That is my house, Martin.
11:39Yeah, Doc left it to me.
11:41But it is my decision to sell it,
11:43and it is my right to change my mind, all right?
11:45It's got nothing to do with Rhys.
11:48Well, I mean, except for the fact that, you know,
11:50if he wasn't in debt, you wouldn't have thought about selling it.
11:53It's really nice to know that your family and friends
11:55are on your side, you know?
11:57Have a good day, Martin, yeah?
11:59Enjoy your hangover.
12:04I think you couldn't get any more selfish.
12:06You can't help but prove me wrong, can you?
12:08Oh, shut up, St Ravi.
12:09If he's going to beat this, he needs all of us around him,
12:11me and Denzel included.
12:13Just keep it down, please.
12:14He's a scared little boy.
12:15He's terrified about what's going to happen
12:17and you two acting like his personal security
12:19ain't going to help anyone.
12:20You think bringing this idiot who put him here in the first place
12:22is good for him?
12:23You are deluded.
12:24Just shut up, yeah?
12:25You know what? Just go.
12:26Leave.
12:27That's what I want.
12:28How are you going to get home?
12:29I don't know, just not with you.
12:32Happy now?
12:33You need to get out of my sight.
12:44Using a kid to worm your way back in.
12:47I don't think you could stoop much lower.
12:49That is rich coming from you.
12:51Thin ice, Priya.
12:54Look, a Navani can already see your true colours.
12:57But if you keep this up,
12:58I'm going to make sure you'll never see them again.
13:01Trust me.
13:03I can make it happen.
13:17Oh, gosh.
13:19Well, you all right?
13:21Alfie.
13:22You're trying to give me a heart attack.
13:25Sorry, sweetheart.
13:26It's just the Wi-Fi is playing up, that's all.
13:32I know that look.
13:36It's either a hangover, woman problems,
13:38or you lose on the races.
13:40In Patrick's case, sometimes all three.
13:42It's Tommy, actually.
13:44I thought it was tough enough bringing Spencer up,
13:46and all of that was about social media and influences.
13:50It's a minefield.
13:53What we went through with Denzel.
13:55So, what is going on with Tommy?
13:59I think he's struggling with his mum,
14:00and Phil's splitting up a lot more than I realised, actually.
14:04And it's just made me realise how much he looks up to Phil.
14:07I hate saying it, but it's almost like he's a father figure, you know?
14:12And you're worried you don't match up as a role model.
14:16I keep thinking, what?
14:18Maybe try and do something more macho with him.
14:20Well, you know, watch boxing, maybe play a bit of rugby,
14:23take him clay pigeon shooting.
14:26Who's kidding who, eh?
14:28Phil's Phil, and I'm...
14:29You are Alfie Moore.
14:32I'm Alfie Moore.
14:33Phil's Phil, and I'm...
14:34You are Alfie Moore.
14:37The great Alfie Moore.
14:40You don't need money,
14:42and you certainly don't need macho.
14:43You just need to be yourself.
14:47You hearing me?
14:51Look, Priya, thanks for today, yeah?
14:54For what? Making things worse?
14:56By speciality, apparently.
14:58No.
14:59Listen, I've got to see him.
15:00It's better than not seeing him.
15:01I mean, I just don't understand
15:02why you all can't just sit down and talk about it.
15:04It's not like you don't want the same thing.
15:06Have you met the Panisals?
15:07It's not happening.
15:08I remember when my dad used to want to have a word with me.
15:11He'd wait till I was on the loo.
15:16Denzel, that is really weird, and a bit gross.
15:19Yeah, but it worked.
15:21It's not like I could go anywhere.
15:23But yeah, thank you for today, and see you later.
15:32Right, kids, gather round.
15:33Come on.
15:34Uncle Alfie's here.
15:35Come on.
15:36All gather round.
15:37My dad said you needed my help.
15:38All in good time, little Richard.
15:40It's better be good.
15:41Hey, Tommy, this is better than good,
15:43because you, you, you, you, you, and you
15:46are all going to be taking part in the inaugural
15:49Albert Square Summer Olympics.
15:56OK, all right, OK, listen up,
15:58because very soon, right,
15:59I'm going to put together a surprise obstacle course
16:02on the square.
16:03It'll be lots of fun and lots of laughs.
16:05Winner takes all.
16:06Who's in?
16:08Me.
16:09Yeah, lovely.
16:10You're making me hang out with a bunch of kids.
16:12She's so lame.
16:13Tommy, Spirit Olympics and all that,
16:15it's all about inclusivity, OK?
16:16Oh, I'm sorry, did I forget to mention
16:19that there is a cash prize?
16:21Cash prize?
16:22Yep.
16:23Might as well put the money in my pocket right now.
16:25No offence, Ricky.
16:26It's all right, I've got a dad bod.
16:27Ricky, just because you're a dad, it doesn't...
16:30Never mind.
16:31OK, now, to make it a little bit fair,
16:33I'm going to give you guys a delayed start, yeah?
16:35So, listen up, everybody,
16:36I'm going to go and sort out our obstacle course,
16:39and when you hear my whistle blow three times, OK,
16:43I want you to make your way onto the square,
16:46and I won't be long, right?
16:47See you shortly.
16:49SHE SIGHS
16:56I see it burned down whilst I was gone, then.
16:58Ah, well, there's always next time.
17:00But do you know what, babe?
17:01Why don't you take the rest of the afternoon off?
17:04You sure?
17:05Well, you covered for me earlier.
17:07What's it the kids say?
17:08Pay it forward.
17:10You do not have to tell me that twice.
17:15Great, I'll see you later.
17:17See you.
17:28We should do this more often.
17:34Listen, Callum, just because Ben did what he did
17:36doesn't mean that you need to suffer the consequences, too.
17:39Yeah, I know.
17:41It's just, even sitting here with you now, I feel guilty.
17:45I feel like I'm moving on without him.
17:48We promised to wait for each other, you know?
17:50Well, I guess that's easier for him than it is for you.
17:53Mm.
17:55I'm not saying that I do want to move on with anyone or anything like that,
17:58I just, at the moment, I feel like I'm in this sort of no-man's land.
18:01Mm.
18:02Well, I guess it's going to take a bit of time, isn't it,
18:05to work out all the do's and don'ts.
18:07Yeah.
18:10But, Callum, after everything that we went through with Lola,
18:14don't you think that we've got a duty to do what she told us?
18:18To keep on moving.
18:21Life is for living.
18:24Ben asked you to wait, he didn't ask you to stop.
18:28Yeah.
18:29If only I had a group of mates queuing up to hang about with me, eh?
18:33And what about Johnny?
18:36You're both, you know...
18:38friends of Dom and me.
18:40Honey, no.
18:42Johnny?
18:43Yeah?
18:44You'd go out for a few drinks with Callum, wouldn't you?
18:46You know, strictly platonic, I mean, he is a married man.
18:48Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, just give me a shout whenever.
18:51Yeah.
18:52Oh.
18:53See?
18:54Sorted.
18:55Oh, what a night.
18:56Oh.
19:03So, come on, then.
19:05You've managed to mess up this time.
19:08You're lucky I still let you work here.
19:10Electric's gone.
19:11Fridge, freezer full of food.
19:13And I know how profit-driven you are.
19:16Might you check the fuse box?
19:18What's a fuse box?
19:20Get out of my way.
19:33It's turned off.
19:35Honestly, have you got no life skills at all?
19:38Life skills? Not so much.
19:40What the hell are you doing?
19:42But six months as an exotic dancer taught me a trick or two.
19:45Priya.
19:47I thought exotic meant dancing with fruit on your head.
19:50So naive.
19:51If you don't get these off me right now, I swear to God...
19:54I think it's time me and you had a little chat, don't you?
19:58Repeat after me.
19:59I never slept with Priya.
20:02Repeat after me.
20:03I never slept with Priya.
20:07Go to hell.
20:09Oh, you're not going anywhere.
20:11Proper durable, them.
20:12Trust me, they've had a few test runs.
20:14What, you think this is funny?
20:16Doing this to a sick man?
20:17You think it's funny trying to keep a mum from her kids?
20:19Just cos yours can't stand the sight of you, despite what they say?
20:22You really are as dumb as you look, aren't you?
20:24Oh, yeah, cos that's really the way to get me to release you.
20:26Making me say all this?
20:28While I'm handcuffed under duress, it'll mean nothing.
20:30Oh, well.
20:31Still fun, though.
20:34Where you going?
20:35Maybe it's just a little time to think you need.
20:37A little time out.
20:38Seriously going to leave me in here?
20:39I'm opening up tomorrow and all, so if you had any ideas about being rescued...
20:43Hey, what if you died?
20:45I could leave one of them dirty videos playing on the laptop.
20:48People might think it's one of them kinky sex games gone wrong.
20:52Especially if it's girl on girl.
20:54Make it extra weird after what Sookie did to you.
20:58Right, at least leave me my jacket.
21:01My medication's in it.
21:03Oh, what? This jacket?
21:07There you go.
21:10Like I said, time to think.
21:15Priya!
21:17Priya!
21:19Just... goodbye!
21:28Hey, contenders, you will go on my first whistle.
21:32Hey, jazz, you will go on my second whistle.
21:37Three, two, one.
21:41Only a couple more seconds, yeah?
21:42You're not so cocky now, are you?
21:44What, you don't think I can do it?
21:45Hey, I've got every faith in you, Tommy, all right?
21:49Go!
21:50No! I never had a voice that made it that way!
21:53I'm not going like that!
21:55Oh, watch it!
22:04Oh, they're coming for the park now.
22:06And there's Mika all right with the park.
22:08Oh, it looks like a dead heat at the moment.
22:12Oh, the brand is in the mood.
22:13Oh, and if you can look at this,
22:15a photo finish on the rest of them!
22:17Oh, here they all come!
22:18Hey, well done! Everyone's a winner!
22:22But I am the actual winner, right?
22:24We took them all, well done.
22:25Hang on, let me just check VAR here.
22:27Hold on a second.
22:29OK.
22:30Oh, I'm sorry.
22:31VAR told me that it is a dead heat.
22:34What else?
22:35Oh, and I've got to split the money
22:36between our oldest competitors.
22:38There you go, there's one each.
22:40Hey, there's no shame in coming in the draw,
22:41I'll tell you that.
22:42Bit of fun, though, wasn't it?
22:43Yeah, it was fun.
22:44Cheers, Dad.
22:45Yeah, it's all right.
22:46Healthy.
22:48I told you so.
22:49Oh, thank you, then.
22:50Cheers, bye-bye.
22:52Wah!
22:54Right, Colin, hand it over.
22:55You're joking, mate.
22:57No, I won, plus it's my dad's money.
22:59See you later.
23:00Yo, I said hand it over.
23:04Come on, you psycho.
23:05What's the matter, psycho?
23:24I think we should invite her over.
23:26Sometimes people want to be alone when they're forced.
23:29Mm.
23:30Can't be easy, though,
23:32supporting your partner who's grieving for his ex-wife.
23:34A fat insurance payout. Take the edge off it.
23:37No!
23:41I've been looking for you.
23:42I wasn't hiding.
23:43I'm sorry, OK?
23:45The last thing you need now is unnecessary stress.
23:48But I promise you, I'm sorting it.
23:51But how, Rhys?
23:52Every time you put out one fire, you light ten more.
23:55I spoke to the insurance company earlier and the money's coming
23:58as soon as the post-mortem's out of the way.
24:00I can pay back Brenda and Hugh and sort things with Finn and Sharon.
24:04And leave us with what?
24:06Then I'll take on some extra clients.
24:08I'll work every hour under the sun.
24:10I'll do everything, Sonia.
24:12I can make this right.
24:14I won't fall for it.
24:18You went to the hospital?
24:20Oh, hello, Mum. Nice to see you.
24:22What is wrong with you?
24:23I'd have done the same for you and all.
24:25Well, I think I would. You could be hard work.
24:27You know, now he doesn't want to see anyone.
24:29Why can't you just back off sometimes, Mum?
24:32Come on, Priya, leave it. Come on, she'll come round.
24:35Oh, watch yourself, Mum.
24:37Oh, I know what you're looking for. Sorry.
24:40Oh, is it?
24:41Well, I'm sorry that I ruined your celebration drink.
24:44What are you talking about?
24:46You.
24:47Flexing the money around now that his wife's dead.
24:50I thought it'd at least be champagne, not gonna lie.
24:52Avani!
24:53What?
24:54That's what all you guys were saying this morning.
24:56Haven't you heard? Snitches get stitches.
24:59Whatever.
25:01I don't care.
25:03You need to tell her to apologise. Now!
25:06And you need to get out of my face before I rip yours clean off.
25:09She should know better. And that is on you.
25:11Nail on it, though.
25:12Always did encourage her to speak the truth.
25:14I'm sorry.
25:15Apology accepted.
25:17Sonia, just leave it.
25:19No, why should I?
25:20No, come on.
25:22Let's have it out in the open, shall we?
25:25Yes.
25:26We used Reece's wife's money to pay for the IVF.
25:29Money that her parents contributed to.
25:32But that's all we're guilty of.
25:33And you think that's all right?
25:35Oh, you're so perfect, are you?
25:37How long did you forget you had a son for?
25:39Oh, I don't know.
25:40Oh, you can talk, Mo.
25:41Having a fundraiser for Kat's funeral when she wasn't even dead.
25:45And the rest of you.
25:47You cheating on Whitney with her best friend.
25:51And what are you nodding at?
25:53Me and your son get away with God knows what.
25:55Brutal.
25:57Do me next, do me.
25:58Look, the truth is, none of us are perfect.
26:00You want to keep throwing stones from your glass houses,
26:03then be my guest.
26:05But don't think for one second we won't be lobbing them right back.
26:10Got it?
26:14No, no, no, please.
26:16Whatever he's having.
26:19DOOR CREAKS
26:22Closed.
26:24Electric's gone.
26:26She could at least stay to put this away.
26:30Wasting stock, finishing early.
26:32Maria's going to run this place to the ground.
26:34Oh, relax.
26:35Once it's in your name, we'll be able to get these back on track.
26:38What?
26:40Because if you're having second thoughts...
26:42No, I'm not.
26:44Seriously.
26:45I hate him as much as you do.
26:47It just feels weird,
26:49screwing over your dad when he's already a condemned man.
26:51Oh, trust me, he'll be proud on Sunday.
26:54You think?
26:56Duped by his son and his ex-wife in his own personal rigged tragedy?
27:00Come on.
27:01The man's a narcissist, he'll probably die happy.
27:03Good job he's not finding out, then.
27:05Wouldn't want him thinking that, as well.
27:08Should try and salvage some of this stuff, though, eh?
27:12Sounds like a dad problem to me, don't you think?
27:15Oh.
27:17The apprentice becomes the master.
27:19I like it.
27:21Come on, let's get out of here, shall we?
