0:02:12 > 0:02:13Lou?
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Louise?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Come on, Beth.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22What are you looking at?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Stinking old alkie.- Come on, Beth! - Beth, come on!
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Who brought this in, do you know?
0:03:55 > 0:03:56No, sorry.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13What's this I've been hearing about Phil?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Who?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Sorry, you're going to have to remind me.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Don't play games with me, Ben!
0:04:23 > 0:04:26That accident, you know, the one with Dennis.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Turns out Dad was driving.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34You knew, didn't you?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I don't believe this.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37I found out recently.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39How?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Phil was drunk, it just came out.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45- And?- And what?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47What happened, Shirley?!
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Cos I'm starting to join up a few dots here.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I told him to tell Sharon.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Nah, you sniffed your chance, didn't you?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Nah.- Wreck things for them?
0:04:57 > 0:04:58It wasn't like that.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Payback for all he's done to you?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02It was killing him to keep it inside.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I mean it, he was in a right state.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Probably won't make much difference now, I suppose.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Meaning what?- Well, now he's opened his big, stupid gob,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12it's probably got him killed anyway.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Not you as well!
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Have you had any news yet?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19He's finally done it, all right? I've finally got the message.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21As far as he's concerned, I'm history.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24As far as I'm concerned, so is he.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Sal? It's me, Phil.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I need something. An address.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36And...and don't tell me you ain't got it,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38because I know what you and Mum are like, yeah?
0:05:40 > 0:05:41I need to find Lou.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Louise.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48There's... There's just something I've gotta sort out.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52What are you talking about?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Hold, hold up, hold up. Say that again.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Say it again.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Right, Sal. I'm coming over.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32What?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34And while I'm at it...
0:06:34 > 0:06:35you can take this back too.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40What is all this?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42This is simple.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I'm getting all the dead wood out of my life.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47All the losers, all the people who just get in the way.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Ring any bells?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04So what's happened? You and Phil had a barney?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06No.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Having a barney is him
0:07:07 > 0:07:09not putting the toilet seat down or eating pizza in bed.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10So what's he done?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Denny. - Well, he's all right, isn't he?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16The accident. Phil was driving.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19But, I thought...
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Ian and Phil cooked it all up between them.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Anyway, none of it matters, not now.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27It don't matter?
0:07:27 > 0:07:31It ain't why, it's what, that's what's important,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33as in what happens next.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36So, as you can see...
0:07:38 > 0:07:40So where are you going?
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Didn't you hear me? You, Phil, it's bye-bye time.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Now, sling your hook because I am sick of liars.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49I ain't a liar.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I told you straight how it was with me and Den.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I didn't sugar-coat it, nothing.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55I told you the truth about everything,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58even when I knew you might hate me for it.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Call me any name you want, I probably deserve most of them.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05But I'm no liar.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22Cheers, by the way. Ta for telling me.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31Has Sal already been on the blower? Has she? Hmm?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Stirring in the poison?
0:09:34 > 0:09:39Is that why I'm getting this silent treatment? Hmm?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Just talk to me, will you?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Cos I ain't in the mood for this,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50not now.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56What is all this, eh?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00You've been back a week and no-one's heard anything from you.
0:10:00 > 0:10:06I told Sal on the phone, I just want Louise's address.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09That's all. I just want to talk to her.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Five minutes, that's... that's all it's going to take.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Got that rainy-day money...
0:10:19 > 0:10:22me and Grant set aside.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Ain't like he's going to need it now, is it?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Don't rain much in the Algarve, from what I remember.
0:10:32 > 0:10:38So...I'm going to give it to my daughter. Set her up.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Give her a head start.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45And I know... I know you're still in touch with her.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48More than you are with me these days, but still...
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Hello?! Are you listening to me? Hello!
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Always did have me down as a loser, didn't you?
0:11:05 > 0:11:10Not like Grant, Grant the golden boy, Grant could never do any wrong.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14He done plenty wrong when you weren't looking, though.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Yeah. He was like Dad.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21A man's man.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Never stood by you though, did he? When you was ill.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29No, he was off, left me to pick up the pieces.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32But you know the worst bit, Mum? The worst bit...
0:11:32 > 0:11:34was you hated me for that, didn't you?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36You despised me for that.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41Because, in your eyes, everything I did for you, that just made me weak.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Sharon, she...
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I was...
0:11:53 > 0:11:58I was going to come and see you anyway, was gonna call you.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Not about this, about something else.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I've, erm... I've had some news.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15And I need a drink.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Boy, do I need a drink.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Where do you keep it, Mum? Where did you hide the booze?
0:12:28 > 0:12:33It's here somewhere, cos Sal likes a little drop, don't she? Eh?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Not in there.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43Where is it, Mum? Where do you keep it?
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Is it in here?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48No. In here?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Nope. Is it in the fridge?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Eurgh! Food.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Is it in here?
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Eh?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Is this some sort of joke? Is that it?
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Eh?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31So where are you going?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I'll be OK.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Wasn't what I asked.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Scary stuff, starting somewhere else.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41All by yourself.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42I won't be by myself, I'll have Denny.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Bit of help, support could still come in handy.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Are you saying what I think you're saying?
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Why not?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Kick out one crook, move in with another?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Don't move in with a liar, though.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59As for the crook bit, if you want to find a choirboy
0:13:59 > 0:14:01in this day and age, good luck.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I don't want to find anyone.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04You say that now.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07And I'll be saying it for a long time to come.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10You know the way out.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23"Apple didn't fall far from the tree," that's what Sharon said.
0:14:28 > 0:14:36I used to go to bed early, when I was a kid, so that I'd be one day
0:14:36 > 0:14:41older quicker. Then I'd be closer to doing what I really wanted to do,
0:14:41 > 0:14:48and that was to stand up to him, to hit him back when he hit you.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56But is that it? Is that what you think, too?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59That deep down, me and Dad ain't that different either?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03And is that why you've always taken Grant's side?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Cos he ain't like Dad, but I am?
0:15:12 > 0:15:17You know, I've never laid a finger on Sharon.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21But I could see it in her eyes.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25There's other ways of hurting people, that's what...
0:15:25 > 0:15:27that's what she was thinking. The old man,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30he just used his fists and let them do the talking, but I...
0:15:31 > 0:15:32..I found other ways.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I know that's the same thing... in the end.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I thought I'd go on the bender of all benders after he died.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Celebrate for a week after the funeral.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49But...I didn't.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Just cried my eyes out all the way through the service.
0:15:57 > 0:16:04Cried and cried my little eyes out. Do you remember?
0:16:09 > 0:16:14I spent years wishing he weren't around, and then when he weren't...
0:16:24 > 0:16:27The reason I was going to call you...
0:16:29 > 0:16:32What I wanted to say was...
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Just give me Louise's address, will you?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50A telephone number, anything.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I know you've got it in that little black book of yours,
0:16:55 > 0:16:59just give it to me and I'll be out of here, I'll be gone.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Gone for good, if you want.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06Then... Then you'll be part of a really big club right now.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Glad you ain't gone all hi-tech on me.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27If you'd have stuck this lot in a tablet, it'd be hands-up time.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34I just...
0:17:37 > 0:17:41I just want to do something right for once.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Make it count.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52If it did or not, well, that'd be up to her.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56But at least I would have tried.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01She's the only one, Mum.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05She's the only one left, the only one who ain't screwed up.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06The only one who ain't walked out on me.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08The rest of them, it's too late.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Kathy, Sharon, even Ben, it's too late,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14but Lou, it's different for Lou.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19She's just starting out. She ain't got any baggage.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21She might not even remember who I am.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28That... That is what this is all about. I swear.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32The cancer's back.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36I'm dying.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49# Thank you for the days
0:18:49 > 0:18:53# Those endless days Those sacred days you gave me
0:18:53 > 0:18:58# I'm thinking of the days
0:18:59 > 0:19:03# I won't forget a single day, believe me
0:19:05 > 0:19:07# I bless the light
0:19:07 > 0:19:11# I bless the light that lights on you, believe me
0:19:13 > 0:19:14# And though you're gone
0:19:14 > 0:19:19# You're with me every single day, believe me... #
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Why... Why didn't you tell me?
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Hmm?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42How long?
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Mum?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Mum, just open the door. Please?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54TURNS TV VOLUME UP
0:20:24 > 0:20:26TV BLARES
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I'm dying too.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Why does he do it, Mum?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Why does he screw up all the time?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48It's like he's got some self-destruct button
0:20:48 > 0:20:52or something and he just can't stop pressing it.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04It's cos he's scared, Ben.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Phil Mitchell?
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Yeah. Always has been, ever since I've known him.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Don't think so!
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Scared of what?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24I used to sit in the pub with him sometimes and, you know,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27all the blokes, they'd be sounding off, you know,
0:21:27 > 0:21:33the usual bloke stuff, and he would try to join in,
0:21:33 > 0:21:37but you could just tell, you know, his heart wasn't in it.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Oh, he played the thug,
0:21:40 > 0:21:46and...yeah, sometimes he could be that an' all...
0:21:48 > 0:21:52..but, you know, he ain't one, Ben. Not really.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58That's why I fell for him, I suppose.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I mean, we had our moments, I know,
0:22:01 > 0:22:06but there was always more to him than the other blokes,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09and definitely more to him than that brother of his.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12And, yeah, I know that he is your uncle,
0:22:12 > 0:22:16but Grant, he ain't just a thug, he is a psycho.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18So why does he do it, then?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Eh? Why does he pretend to be someone he ain't?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31You did. For years.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Because of your dad.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36And he did it because of his dad.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40I mean, I never knew Eric.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43I mean, I heard enough about him though.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46And you did not show weakness around him, ever,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49because if you did, you'd soon regret it.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52That ain't weakness, though.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Yes, but your dad grew up thinking it was.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59I don't want to do it.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I don't want to keep thinking about him,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04I want to say goodbye and mean it.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07I wanted to say goodbye to you too.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Still here, though, ain't I?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Makes me weak too, doesn't it?
0:23:15 > 0:23:20No, darling. It makes you your dad's son.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22And that's a good thing, is it?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Gavin could say goodbye to anyone.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Just like that, not a second thought.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Who would you prefer?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I thought I told you to go.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Actually, you didn't. Not in so many words.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Well, I am now.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52I just wanted you to know I'm here for you.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57And where, exactly, is "here"? What, exactly, are you offering?
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Cos last I heard, about three different police
0:23:59 > 0:24:02forces in as many countries were looking for you.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Still leaves a lot of countries that aren't.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Life on the run, always looking over your shoulder,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09you make it sound so tempting.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11There are worse ways of living.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Sounds like you've just found that out.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14There's better, too.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18And if you find it, no-one'd be happier. If you don't...
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Why are you saying all this?
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Cos I mean it.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23So what's happened to honest Gavin?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Telling it straight, like it is.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Sounds like you've had a personality transplant
0:24:28 > 0:24:30and been turned into a Walton.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33I didn't want a family when you came along, that's true.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37I did when Kathy turned up with Ben, but I messed that up.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Me and Denny, we're what, last chance saloon?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Yeah.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I've made a lot of mistakes. There's no point pretending I haven't.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52So would I like one last chance to put something right, at least?
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Yeah, I would.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Still sounds like out the frying pan and into the fire.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02And in case you'd forgotten, Phil would not even be in this state
0:25:02 > 0:25:04if you hadn't done what you did to him.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07This was always going to happen, as far as he was concerned.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Phil's like the rest of his family. I knew them, don't forget.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12You didn't.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Eric, Peggy. Time bombs waiting to go off, all of them,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18and once they did, God help anyone who got caught up in it.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Look at all this.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I've got the chance of a villa.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Steady job too, nothing iffy for once.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I'd love you and Dennis there with me, even if
0:25:39 > 0:25:42it's just to take stock, lick your wounds for a while.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47I missed out on everything, Sharon. My fault totally, I know.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Kids, stepkids, I blew it all.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55And the minute I heard about that accident, I thought,
0:25:55 > 0:26:00that's it, now a grandkid's going to be taken away from me too.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07And it killed me, and I'm being honest here, it really did.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Couldn't get to that hospital quick enough.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Maybe I'm getting soft.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Or maybe I'm learning a few things at last.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26He's your son, Sharon, but he's my grandson.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30And the thought of that blows me away.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38The offer's there, if you want it.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41And so am I.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Your call.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Lou...it's me.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Dad? What are you...?
0:27:26 > 0:27:27How are you?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29What?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31How are you keeping?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I don't believe this.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37I ain't seen you for years, then you turn up
0:27:37 > 0:27:39out of the blue to ask about my health?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42What's the matter with you anyway? You look like a tramp.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Been sleeping in the car.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Why?
0:27:49 > 0:27:50Don't matter.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Can we go outside?
0:27:55 > 0:27:56I've got to go to detention.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Teacher'll come looking for me if I'm late.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03SHE MOUTHS
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Dad, this is so embarrassing.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08When did you get so stubborn?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Since people I ain't seen for years turn up and tell me
0:28:10 > 0:28:12to come outside with them.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17I'm not people, Lou, I'm your dad. OK?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Me and Sharon...
0:28:24 > 0:28:25Who?
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Is she the new ex, yeah? Chucked you out, has she?
0:28:29 > 0:28:30What makes you say that?
0:28:30 > 0:28:35You look like death warmed up. You've been sleeping in your car.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37I ain't a complete dumbo.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Well, I thought she was the one, you know?
0:28:40 > 0:28:44No-one... No-one's even come close.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47I'll tell Mum, she'll be well pleased(!)
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Anyway, all that's gone now.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57I'm going away.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02But I just want to give you this.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05State of you, I hope this ain't your dirty washing.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08It's, erm, it's for you.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10To set you up, you know.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15With that sort of cash, you can go to college, start a business,
0:29:15 > 0:29:18go travelling. Anything, no strings.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19Whatever you want.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23BAG HITS FLOOR
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Lou!
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Lou... Lou!
0:29:27 > 0:29:28Do you know how weird this is?
0:29:28 > 0:29:32I ain't seen you since I was, what, eight?
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Now you turn up and try and give me all that.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37What are you trying to do, make up for them birthdays you missed?
0:29:37 > 0:29:40I'm just trying to do something for you.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45You're just like the rest.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49- What?- Why would I think that you'd be any different?
0:29:49 > 0:29:52I'll do you a favour, shall I?
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Get in the motor, keep driving, till I hit the water?
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Why are you having a go at me?
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Oh...Lou...
0:29:58 > 0:29:59You're freaking me out.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Lou... Lou... Oh!
0:30:04 > 0:30:05Dad!
0:30:06 > 0:30:10Dad, Dad!
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Dad?
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Dad!
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Dad!
0:30:19 > 0:30:20Dad!
