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