00:00What did that little girl ever do?
00:18To live a life of losing everything she ever loved.
00:23She didn't do nothing.
00:25She just wanted someone to love her,
00:28to care for her,
00:30to pin her drawings on the wall.
00:36And I'm sitting here,
00:38and I'm still alone.
00:42And out there, a light.
00:46And behind the windows,
00:48little girls have been tucked up by their mummies
00:52and told stories and sung to.
00:57And they feel happy and safe and wanted.
01:05And I'm still here.
01:07And I have to go out that door and face the world.
01:11And everyone I see has got someone.
01:17The worst part is seeing them complaining
01:21and fighting amongst themselves.
01:23And they don't know what they've got.
01:33They don't know what they've got.
01:35And they're gone.
01:39And they're gone.
01:41They're gone.
01:43They're gone.
01:45Morning.
01:48Sleepy beauty.
01:50Have I been down here all night?
01:53Would I have to try and wake you up?
01:55Oh!
01:57It's at the time I'm doing the caffeine, Arthur.
02:00Are you sure that's a good idea for yesterday?
02:02I'm sure it wasn't as bad as it sounds.
02:05I'm not senile yet.
02:07Besides Mr Leeson will kill me if I have any more time, Mum.
02:15We ain't taking all this.
02:22Of course we're not. I'm putting all this in the garage to get it out of the way for them.
02:26Oh, you really don't have to do that, Sonia. This is your home.
02:28We'll just keep it warm for you.
02:30Yeah.
02:32I can't believe we're doing this. I've felt sick all morning.
02:35You know what? Fear is good.
02:37Means you're up for the challenge.
02:39Right, I'm off to see Lily.
02:41I said I'd spend some time with her before we leave.
02:43Yeah, don't forget the Albert later.
02:45Yeah.
02:46Oh, really? Now, I don't want a big fuss.
02:47Oh, a little tough.
02:48Cos that is exactly what you're getting.
02:51We heard back from everyone except Bianca.
02:53Yeah.
02:54She'll be there.
02:55Yeah.
02:58So you're just gonna let her go, yeah?
03:02What's the matter?
03:08How'd you do that?
03:10It's Harry done it.
03:12He said women like me deserved it.
03:15Yeah?
03:16You need to tell Sonia.
03:17Hmm?
03:18Cos if he can switch like that, she needs to know.
03:19She won't believe me.
03:21She think I'm just saying it to make her stay.
03:23You need to tell her.
03:24And you need to tell her now.
03:29Look, I'm not stopping.
03:30I'm just checking if Elaine knows the numbers for the Albert later.
03:33Are you?
03:34Oh.
03:35That's Jamie.
03:36I never really knew him.
03:38They're lovely kids, I heard.
03:40Hmm.
03:41The only one Phil didn't screw up.
03:43Feels like a lifetime ago.
03:45There's someone I won't miss.
03:48Elaine's not a fan, you know.
03:51She says she's allergic, but she don't like him.
03:55Maybe you could have him for me.
03:57Oh, please, Kath.
03:58I mean, he feels safe with you.
03:59You know, he knows your voice, doesn't he?
04:01Well, I suppose it's the least I can do, yeah.
04:04Right, well, I'll pop in to see Elaine, and I'll see you over the Albert later.
04:07All right.
04:08She's just in the lounge with the baby.
04:09Okay.
04:12Parrot's sorted.
04:14Son, you can't do this.
04:16Oh, was last night just an act, was it?
04:18Listen to me.
04:19No, no, no.
04:20Let me guess.
04:21Is he a mass murderer?
04:22Is he Lord Lucan in disguise?
04:25Last night, me and Terry, we had words and...
04:32I called Mum, and then...
04:34when he saw her calling me back, he...
04:37he got physical with me.
04:45Terry did that!
05:01Did you hurt my sister?
05:03What?
05:04Just answer the question, did you or did you not attack her?
05:07Oh, I grabbed her arm, but just to stop by giving me a right of...
05:10I'd have ripped your head off if I could.
05:12So he was just offending himself?
05:13He weren't just angry about you phoning Mum?
05:15Er...
05:16No!
05:17No!
05:18You should have heard the things he was saying, Son.
05:20About...
05:21About me, about us, about women like us.
05:23Don't fall for it, Sonia.
05:24Look, in a couple of hours we can be on that plane.
05:26Don't let her get in your head.
05:29I need to think.
05:32Where are you going?
05:33Just look after the baby.
05:34I need to be on my own.
05:38I warned you.
05:40Just drop dead.
05:42Shame last time I said that.
05:43It actually worked.
05:52Oh, she's back!
05:54I thought the birds stopped singing.
05:56Is there any way to talk to your boss?
05:59Nice time.
06:01Well, you know what they say.
06:02Break's as good as a rest.
06:04I could have come back to better news, though.
06:07These gym sessions with my son.
06:10They end.
06:11Now.
06:13Nah.
06:14Nah.
06:15Me and Teddy, we've got an agreement.
06:16Oh, well.
06:17I'll agree it, then.
06:19Unless, of course, you've got another visit from my friends.
06:21Do it.
06:22Go on, I'll do it.
06:24Your friends don't work on me no more.
06:27If you want me to stop seeing Barney,
06:30you're gonna have to tell him yourself.
06:31Oh!
06:32That's him now.
06:33I'm gonna be late, so...
06:35That's all sorted.
06:37You'll know where to find us.
06:42Oh.
06:43No.
06:44It's okay.
06:46That's all very soon.
06:47I'm gonna be playing.
06:48I'm gonna do it.
06:49I'm gonna be playing.
06:50Oh, man.
06:51I mean, I'm gonna be playing.
06:52Oh, man.
06:54Oh, man.
06:56Oh, man.
06:57I don't know how you swung this one.
07:14I said I couldn't see you today, that I'd have to wait for weeks.
07:17I heard you put in an order, so I wasn't having it.
07:20You know me, son.
07:21Always know the right strength to pull, but you're going to have to get a move on.
07:23I booked a spa treatment at three, and I'm going to get my nails done.
07:29Have you missed me?
07:38If I had ever ignored my mother like that when I was your age,
07:44I'd have got a slap around my head side and no dinner that night.
07:48I'd like to see her try.
07:51How come you were so hot for your mother?
07:53Are you any good at folding sheets?
07:59No, my mum just froze them all in the cupboard.
08:01It's time you learned.
08:02Give me a hand.
08:05Right.
08:07Find the corners.
08:12Right.
08:14Now make it nice and straight.
08:15Right.
08:15I used to do this with my grandmother.
08:31One of life's simplest pleasures she used to see.
08:36Freshly washed sheets straight from the line.
08:38I do like fresh bedding, to be honest.
08:42Well, maybe now you can teach your mother to fold them properly.
08:46That would mean she would actually have to listen to what I want for a change.
08:51Avani, is there a problem at all?
08:55No.
08:55I mean, sort of, yeah.
09:07I got in trouble a few weeks ago with the police.
09:11I say.
09:16And does your mother know?
09:18Yeah, she knows.
09:21The police, they...
09:24They thought that I had drugs on me.
09:27Oh, well...
09:28But I didn't, though.
09:31They searched me.
09:32Like, they really searched me.
09:45And how they searched you, Avani.
09:51Was it in an appropriate manner?
09:54According to them, it was.
10:08But they made me get naked.
10:11I beg your pardon?
10:14I had to take my clothes off in front of strangers.
10:19And I didn't even do anything wrong.
10:21I didn't...
10:23No, I just keep thinking about it all the time.
10:30It's okay.
10:33It's okay.
10:35I've got you.
10:42Something funny?
10:45Just video.
10:48Pranks of that.
10:51You boys know my son.
10:53Right?
10:54Barney Mitchell.
10:56Yeah.
10:57We know him.
10:59Then you'll know he's been at the gym lately, trying to get buff.
11:01Barney.
11:02Between you and me,
11:04Zach thinks he could do with a bit of encouragement, you know?
11:07Mates cheering him on from the sideline, that sort of thing.
11:11Yeah.
11:12He can do that.
11:14Good.
11:15He's in the gym now, actually.
11:17You know, if you're not busy.
11:19I mean, don't tell him I told you, but he's dead set on trying to win over that Barney girl.
11:25He likes a Barney.
11:26Oh, look at me.
11:28Embarrassing mum.
11:35Mum's the word.
11:37Yeah?
11:37He's gone.
11:38He's gone.
11:51Those things first, and most importantly, is he better looking at me.
11:55I'm kidding.
11:57Of course he ain't.
11:58So, you believe me, Agadine.
12:01You don't think she's making it up.
12:03No.
12:03I believe her.
12:04Well, then there's your answer.
12:05So what?
12:06Just scrap building a relationship with my dad?
12:08I mean, what if he was defending himself?
12:13And regardless of where I go a rule with, do you really blame me for wanting to get away?
12:17So, you're saying about your dad.
12:20This is about you leaving Walford and not for some extended holiday you'll think about going for good.
12:28But it's my home.
12:30No.
12:31Not a place, son.
12:33It's there, isn't it?
12:36You want someone's permission.
12:38And you want one?
12:44Why me, Agadine?
12:45Why are they so childbirth?
12:47Well, I suppose you're the closest thing I've had to a father figure since Alan.
12:54Don't get me wrong, he was great, but, you know, I've spent my whole life watching people doing things with their real dads,
13:01when I've never had a clue who mine was.
13:05Those few months when I thought it was you,
13:08I finally knew what it was like.
13:11Oh, you...
13:18You're going to make my mascara run.
13:24My old mate, God bless him.
13:27He'd give me two pieces of advice, though.
13:29I've always stuck.
13:31Good decisions come from experience by experience.
13:35And it comes from bad decisions.
13:36What one of my learning curves never stops.
13:40And the second?
13:43It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
13:48Food for thought, eh?
13:50Whatever I'm from, you keep in touch, yeah?
13:53Of course I'll help.
13:54Make sure you look after that parrot.
13:58He knows all my pen numbers.
14:03That's it, Barney, mate.
14:04Go on.
14:05Go all the way up!
14:06Good, good, good.
14:06Two more, two more.
14:07Push.
14:08Go on, mate.
14:11Sorry.
14:12Sorry?
14:12What are you talking about?
14:13We go to failure and that's what you did.
14:14Well done.
14:15Well, I reckon my mum can lift more than that.
14:18Oi, what are you doing?
14:19Put that phone away.
14:20Don't worry, I got the shot.
14:21Were you filming me?
14:22Well, how else is it funny?
14:24You're going to know you've been bulking up.
14:25She won't tell from them mums.
14:26Phone away now.
14:27Get out the gym.
14:29I thought you wanted an audience for him.
14:31Let's cheer him on, aren't we?
14:32Are you invited?
14:33Of course I didn't.
14:34Oi, look, he's about to crack.
14:35Get that on video, quick.
14:37Franks are nothing.
14:38Go on, what are you doing?
14:39Barney, where are you going?
14:40Barney, mate!
14:42Get out the gym!
14:45So, how do you know Sonia?
15:02Oh, er, um, no, since she was a little girl.
15:05Um, Claire was best mates with her back in the day.
15:09Oh, right.
15:11Um, about yesterday.
15:14No, no, no, I get confused sometimes, so it's nothing to worry about.
15:19Oh, it's okay to not be okay, you know.
15:23I'm bipolar.
15:25And my daughter's bipolar too, so, um, out of all the many things that we've learnt, um,
15:32we've learnt that, uh, keeping things bottled up and, uh, pretending that everything's okay
15:37doesn't really work out in the end.
15:40So, um, if, if, if, if, if you'd like to talk to someone, well, you know where I am.
15:46Oh, no, thank you.
15:47Do you think she'll mind having a leave-in-do in a gay bar?
15:55You're kidding, innit?
15:58Your cousin Sonia, well, she's got form with the ladies.
16:01Yeah, she did that before it was trendy.
16:03Did it?
16:04I don't think you can say that, though.
16:05I just did.
16:06Anyway, where is she?
16:08The champagne's getting warm.
16:10And this is not making a fuss.
16:19Look, you think we let you slip off without giving you a send-off?
16:21Oh.
16:22Ah.
16:22And Phil's playing for the drink, so I'm getting me Maysworth.
16:25You've changed your tune, now there's a free bath.
16:28I'm just messing, all right, and I took about it the other day.
16:30I'm sorry.
16:32I overreacted.
16:34An apology from me and Bill?
16:36Mm.
16:38Champagne to the Redding.
16:39Toast in coming, yeah?
16:43Sore sense in the end, then.
16:45That's my girl.
16:46Well, put the bomb in!
16:47Speech, speech!
16:52Er, seriously, I don't know what to say.
16:56Thank you, you know?
16:58All of you.
17:00And not just for this, but...
17:02Well, for supporting me in the last few months.
17:06In years.
17:06Some of you, even decades.
17:10If it takes a village to raise a child, then...
17:13Well, there's definitely a few of you in here who've put the hours in.
17:16Yeah, well, it's time well spent, if you ask me.
17:19Come on, everybody, to Sonia!
17:21Oh, hold on a sec, I won't be a minute.
17:30Oh, man, she's done!
17:31Oh, God, she's done!
17:32Oh, God, she's done!
17:33I've got you!
17:33I've got you!
17:34I've got you done!
17:35I've got you done!
17:35I've got you done!
17:36Drinker!
17:38Why don't you come in?
17:39Have a drink.
17:41Son, you can't go.
17:42There's something not right about this.
17:44Don't give up, do you?
17:46Listen, she's my sister.
17:48She's just looking out for me.
17:50Anyway, I've made my mind up.
17:53I am going to go away, just not with him.
17:56What?
17:57You are joking.
17:58I mean, it's all sorted.
17:59We've made plans.
18:00Yeah, I know, but my plans have changed.
18:03It was a very kind offer, Tilly.
18:06All right, and even you suggesting it has made me realise what I need,
18:09and it ain't Warford right now.
18:11So I thank you for that.
18:13I'm going to go and stay with Whit for a bit,
18:15you know, get some clarity,
18:17and then decide where we're going to settle.
18:19But it won't be Randy.
18:21Sonia, I'm handing you all this on a plate here.
18:25My mind's made up.
18:27And you, you'd do anything not to end up on your own, wouldn't you?
18:31Even if it makes everyone else unhappy,
18:34you are just like your...
18:35Go on.
18:36Why don't you finish that sentence?
18:38Just like my mum?
18:39Yeah, well, at least I know now.
18:40All those years ago when I walked out on you,
18:42yeah, I made the right choice.
18:45You're nothing but a bunch of freeloading chavs, the lot of you.
18:48You want to say that again?
18:49Oh, what's this, the lynch mob?
18:51Why don't you stay around a bit longer, Terry,
18:53and maybe you'll find out.
19:10I'm really sorry, son.
19:13I know how much you wanted that to work out.
19:16Yeah.
19:17Well...
19:18It's lost, isn't it?
19:20Why don't we kind of have a little drink in there, eh?
19:26I'll meet you back at home.
19:37They were just, like, picking on me and laughing.
19:40Oh, so much.
19:41One of them filmed it.
19:42I know that I like it.
19:43I've got you.
19:44Who does something like that?
19:46Come on, Mum.
19:48I've got you.
19:50I've got you.
19:57I know you're feeling sorry for yourself for anything but that.
19:59Thanks very much.
20:02Did you need that from the party?
20:03No, it was on the ass.
20:05Oi!
20:06The money for the flights.
20:08I want it back.
20:09Well, yeah.
20:10I mean, if that's all you worry about, you can have your money.
20:13You're really not bright, are you?
20:14It's not about the money.
20:16I come back here to make amends, to prove I was a nice guy.
20:19So you didn't come back here for me at all?
20:22This has always been about you, hasn't it?
20:24I wish I'd met a fortune teller back in the 80s.
20:26I would have not gone with your mother
20:28and the world would have been spared
20:29from the oxygen-breathing waste of you!
20:31Ah!
20:33Ah!
20:37Oi!
20:38Oi, let me out!
20:40Oi!
20:42Sonia!
20:43We should probably let him out.
20:45Yeah.
20:46Probably.
20:47Maybe we should give him time to calm down.
20:49Fast.
20:50That's a good idea.
20:51Oi!
20:51You weren't very happy about those two kids.
20:54You need.
20:55Ask me to break them earlier.
20:56Yeah!
20:58We can't, can we?
21:00It's fest.
21:00Is it?
21:01Really?
21:02Probably little Jackson, you, innit?
21:03Yeah.
21:04Well, you said your goodbyes.
21:05You packed your bags.
21:07What about you?
21:08What about me?
21:09Someone's got to be here to let him out.
21:11Can't stand the man, but I've been where he is.
21:13Come on, come on, come.
21:15We've got four tickets.
21:17Oh, it's...
21:18His name's on the ticket.
21:20We can pay for a name change.
21:23What?
21:23Come on.
21:25Really?
21:25All right?
21:29I can't pack with stuff.
21:32All right, shut up, you.
21:33We'll let you out eventually when you be quiet.
21:36You need a bit of time in there to think about your behaviour.
21:39You need a bit of time in there.
21:39Yeah!
21:40What?
21:41All right, here we are!
21:43All right!
21:46Just got your text.
21:49Where'd the change fall?
21:50You have a very brave girl here.
21:55Are you going?
21:57Your mum will take things from here.
22:09Tickets are one thing, but...
22:10Manfart Auto!
22:11Oh, it's fine.
22:12Listen, it's a hired car.
22:13He was going to leave it at the airport anyway.
22:15And the boat?
22:15Oh, we'll leave that here.
22:16That's a Terry problem.
22:17So you are going then?
22:19Yeah, well, you know,

22:23you know what I mean?
22:25George, do me a favour.
22:27There's a really angry man in that garage round there.
22:30Could you just wait at least about three hours
22:32before you let him out?
22:33Understood.
22:36A bit terrible, you know,
22:37because I was only at the party for two minutes.
22:39I don't think you're going to do a French exit on my watch.
22:41This is your party, darling.
22:43Drink it in.
22:44Kat, I'm going to miss you.
22:46You've got to be male.
22:47And you, you old tunt.
22:49Don't start me off on my scar will run.
22:51Hardly.
22:52Put that on with a try, that make-up thing.
22:53Yeah, I do.
22:54Look after her, Al.
22:55Oh, whatever.
22:55She might be getting on a bit,
22:56but she's still not going to stay out of trouble.
22:58If you can't be good, be good at it, yeah?
23:00Go on.
23:01I can't do this again.
23:03Lovely.
23:03Lovely.
23:04This ain't going to unlock without a key, darling.
23:07Have you towed before?

23:55What?
23:56Raffi said you need a bigger place.
23:58Sonia, that's very kind of you.
23:59You can't just give us your house.
24:01I ain't going to do that, am I?
24:02You dumbass.
24:02When George and Lula move back into the Vic, you can rent it.
24:08I don't know what to say.
24:09Well, there's Dot's, remember, so whatever you're doing there, she'll be watching.
24:15See you, man.
24:16Love you.
