00:00MUSIC
00:14Right.
00:15Happy birthday!
00:17Oh, thank you boys.
00:19Your favourite...
00:21Ah, forget that, cos I'm gonna do you the full work, 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?
00:53It'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.
01:18I've got a supplier waiting.
01:20All right?
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?
02:15Yeah.
02:16Yeah.
02:17Only, um...
02:19I'm not that bad just yet, so...
02:22I'm sorry, Nigel.
02:23It's just a stupid thing to do.
02:24No, no, no, no, no, no.
02:26It's really kind.
02:28Come on, innit?
02:30Let's have a look at what you've got planned.
02:32Better be colour-coordinated.
02:35Please, don't push it up here.
02:37Cojo 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, Cojo.
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.
03:02I 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...
03:36Why 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.
03:55Easy money.
03:56There ain't no such thing.
03:58Ten 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...
04:08Bournemouth ain't exactly marbs, is it?
04:11What 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.
04:25I'll get you a van and everything you need.
04:28Come round later and I'll give you the location of the site.
04:32But...
04:33Needs to be done tonight.
04:35We can't wait.
04:37Connie?
04:39Connie!
04:42What's up, mate?
04:44What do you mean?
04:45Well, something's definitely up because you forgot this.
04:48And I've never seen you go anywhere about your book.
04:51I, er...
04:52I was just thinking about my exams.
04:55Oh, really?
04:57Alright, it's...
04:59It's Avani.
05:00I...
05:01I asked her out to Mum's party and she said yes.
05:04That's great, mate.
05:06Ain't it?
05:07Yeah.
05:08Well, is it though?
05:10No, no.
05:11It 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...
05:17What 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...
05:27Huh?
05:28Felt a bit like you, Buck.
05:29Nervous.
05:30Worried it was all gonna go wrong.
05:31What?
05:32You?
05:33I know.
05:34Hard to believe, eh?
05:35Do you know what else is funny?
05:36When we first got together, the one thing she loved the most was when I made her this meal once.
05:45I dunno, maybe it was more personal, but it made her laugh.
05:49And that day, that lunch, something just clicked and I felt like the luckiest man in the world.
05:59And now, we're all back together.
06:03I feel like that all over again.
06:06Her Barney was your mate, Barney, and she already likes you.
06:11So all you gotta do is be yourself.
06:15We got this kid.
06:17We got it.
06:24Hey.
06:25What's up?
06:27Can't you sleep?
06:28I tried.
06:29I couldn't.
06:30Is there any news on Nigel?
06:31Oh, yeah.
06:32He's fine.
06:33Phil said that he went missing, but they found him.
06:36He's back home and all is good.
06:37Oh.
06:38Well, that is good news.
06:39Yeah.
06:40I hope I've made biscuits.
06:42So I'm just gonna take them over to him and help cheer him up a bit.
06:48I was a bit shy with him, wasn't I?
06:52Hey, mate, maybe I could take those out.
06:54Give me a chance to apologise.
06:55That's a good idea.
06:57A cuppa and bickies.
06:59Answer to everything.
07:00I've counted them.
07:02It says a 3pm afternoon quack.
07:03What's that, then?
07:04Eh?
07:05No.
07:06Snack, you donut, not quack.
07:07How does it look like a Q and a U?
07:08You're right.
07:09It's terrible.
07:10Fair point.
07:11Look, can we go through the rest of this later?
07:13I've got to pop to the caf to sort out when my next shift is.
07:14Do you fancy going to the Flicks this afternoon?
07:15It's an old film I'd like to see.
07:16Is that a good idea, eh?
07:17After what happened yesterday?
07:18Yeah, I'll be all right.
07:19If you don't fancy it, you can just take me to the cinema.
07:21And I'll take it from the door and I'll take it from the door.
07:23Well, maybe a couple of days, you know.
07:24Listen.
07:25Fair point.
07:27Look, can we go through the rest of this later?
07:29I've got to pop to the cafe to sort out when my next shift is.
07:34Do you fancy going to the Flicks this afternoon?
07:37It's an old film I'd like to see.
07:40Is that a good idea, eh? After what happened yesterday?
07:43Yeah, I'll be all right.
07:45If you don't fancy it, just take me to the cinema door and I'll take it from there.
07:50Well, maybe a couple of days.
07:52I've been thinking, you know, you working at the cafe say it's not really a good idea.
07:56It's too much stress and, well, you don't need the money.
07:59And, er, I'm going to pop over in a minute, Mark, grab a few bits.
08:03I'll stick my head in the cafe and tell Cathy that, er, you want to jack it in, all right?
08:11Phil, er, I just popped round and see how no one's used to it.
08:13Come bearing briskets.
08:14Well, I'll leave you to it. I'm going to see Cathy.
08:16Don't worry, I'm not going to do a run at the Flicks when you've gone.
08:19I won't be long.
08:22So, you loosen the bolts on one side of the alternator.
08:25Let's take detention, knock the bell.
08:27Exactly.
08:30Hey, just the woman I want you to see.
08:32The 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.
08:42Thanks.
08:43Will you be having a cake? What'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, sorry, Kojo.
08:56Yeah, Mum 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?
09:02Yeah, of course.
09:04Thanks. I'd love to come.
09:06Hey, you still got that old van you're working on?
09:11Yeah, it's done. I'm about to phone the bloke to come pick it up now.
09:14I couldn't borrow it, could I?
09:16I've got this great deal on a job lot of gorgeous vintage lamps
09:19and the bloke who was supposed to be picking them up, he's let me down.
09:22I don't know, Mum. I shouldn't...
09:23Oh, couldn't you tell him it'd be ready in the morning?
09:25Look, if I don't get down there, someone else will snap them up
09:28and I really wanted them for my party.
09:34So park round the corner.
09:35Thanks, darling.
09:37See you later.
09:38See ya.
09:41Oh, you alright?
09:44Yeah, 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 beginning to come to see you anyway, you know, about his job,
09:54cos...
09:55Well, working ain't good for him, he's gonna have to quit.
09:57Oh, that's a shame.
09:59Right, well, better start looking for an extra pair of hands again then, I suppose.
10:02Oh, as if you haven't got enough on your plate.
10:05Yeah.
10:06Er...
10:07Right, well, I'll come by in 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, but 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, lovely!
10:22No, he needs a routine, does he?
10:24Well, doesn't having a job give you a routine.
10:27Maybe 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, we used to grab every moment we could when he was well enough,
10:38and I used to call them the golden days.
10:41So, why not let Nigel have his golden days?
10:44You know what?
10:45While he still can.

25:24Oh. I guess you're not coming, then.
25:29Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. She's not really feeling it.
25:33I mean, I should have messaged you, but I haven't even been on my phone like that. I'm sorry.
25:38It's all right. I didn't see you at school today. Are you OK?
25:43Yeah. I mean, I guess so. There's just, like, so much going on at the moment.
25:49I can't even get into all of it right now. No, it's all right. You don't have to tell me.
25:56Oh, I've got you something. Hey, you all right?
26:01I didn't invite him. All right, I thought we could chill. Watch a movie or something like that.
26:08Um, Bonnie, come watch it with us. Come. No, you're all right, thanks.
26:13Or else you'll probably get back to Mum's party. But you said you had something for me.
26:18It looks nothing. Have a good night.
26:22Yeah, you too, mate. Have a nice time at Mummy's party, yeah?
26:38It was a deal that went wrong, yeah? It was an accident.
26:41Who's the body?
26:42He's just some junkie. One of my heavies went down there.
26:45Are you lying, Nick?
26:46No. No. I promise you.
26:48Ravi said she.
26:50What?
26:51Whoever she is, I'm not getting involved. That's what he said.
26:54Oh, no, you misunderstood him. He meant me. Right, whatever she's done.
26:58I heard what he said, Nick.
27:00Look, can we just forget about this? 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 move a woman's body?
27:12And please, not the boys. They don't need to know anything.
27:14We just got our family back together, and now you do this!
27:17God, it was four years ago!
27:22Four years ago?
27:24No.
27:27No.
27:28It's her, isn't it?
27:36And she is buried underneath Paradise Park.
27:43It's Shireen.
