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