Can He Forgive His Father After All He Has Done? | Walford REEvisited | EastEnders

0:00 Oh, Nicola.

0:02 She is beautiful.

0:04 Can I have a little cuddle?

0:06 No, she needs to be kept away from infection.

0:08 Sorry.

0:09 Come on, Mom.

0:10 It's a baby.

0:10 People want cuddles.

0:11 She needs peace and quiet.

0:14 Why are you all here?

0:15 I didn't invite her.

0:17 Can you all just go home, please?

0:20 Yeah.

0:20 Yeah, of course.

0:21 We need to make make a move, don't we, Billy?

0:23 Come on.

0:25 If anyone wanted to cut away,

0:26 it's all right, Billy.

0:27 Um, we need to to get on with that guttering.

0:29 Yeah, we just had a much sleep and with the baby coming early,

0:31 it's been a bit intense.

0:33 Nicola, it ain't right what you're doing.

0:36 Just treating everybody who cares like they're or like they're nothing.

0:40 Well, they are nothing to her at least.

0:43 And she don't know who most of them are.

0:45 Yeah, she has got enough on her plate

0:49 without worrying about getting smothered in germs.

0:54 But I do know that it must be hard.

0:56 Do you know what they said at the hospital?

0:59 Remember the fourth trimester?

1:02 Well, that means that she is so small.

1:05 She doesn't know we're separate people yet.

1:09 Imagine that.

1:11 This tiny little thing, this beautiful, precious baby,

1:18 and all she's got to rely on is me.

1:21 I never liked the baby stage.

1:23 I wasn't very good at it with the boys.

1:25 So,

1:26 well, Teddy, if he was here and my old man.

1:30 My sister Jim is a maternal one.

1:32 Is

1:33 she?

1:33 It's just one of the reasons she's my mom's favorite.

1:37 Don't think I've ever heard you mention your mom before.

1:40 Well, when we were younger, she was a natural in love,

1:44 but we don't get on much now.

1:46 Well, who cares what she says or anyone else?

1:50 I mean, I have seen you these past few weeks down hospital every day,

1:54 sleeping in chairs, eating out of vending machines.

1:56 Look, I might not be a baby specialist, but I know a good mom when I see one.

2:06 Harry wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you.

2:10 It was you.

2:12 You reached into that dark place he was in and you pulled him out.

2:17 Not just me.

2:19 Well, it didn't matter who did what or or what

2:22 mistakes that you might have made in the past.

2:26 You were there for him when it mattered, Nicola.

2:29 When you really, really needed a mom.

2:32 And you're going to do exactly the same for that little one.

2:34 Know when Harry was born.

2:37 All I heard was my old man's voice in my head telling me how useless I was.

2:44 How he'd be better off without me.

2:48 And that was before my mom started chipping in.

2:53 We could fill a truck with the amount of baggage our parents left us with.

2:58 I wonder what we're going to pass on to her.

3:01 Oh, darn.

3:04 Oh, did you check me phone?

3:06 I gave nurse Te's me and I don't want to miss miss a call.

3:11 Mhm.

3:12 Yeah.

3:14 Yeah.

3:14 George, there's 10 missed calls and a voicemail.

3:16 If that's the health visit, we're going to be blacklisted.

3:19 What?

3:21 He said bring him back.

3:24 Oh.

3:30 Oh, yeah.

3:30 Hello.

3:30 This is um George Knight's phone.

3:32 I'm so sorry.

3:33 It was on silent.

3:34 Where is he?

3:35 Tell him he's got to come and see me.

3:39 It's his dad.

3:44 You must be Nella.

3:47 George never could resist the blonde.

3:50 Lose George's number.

3:53 He ain't interested.

3:55 I'm his dad.

3:59 No, you are a scumbag.

4:04 And as far as George is concerned, you're still inside.

4:09 And that suits him down to the ground.

4:13 They only let me out for treatment.

4:16 I got lung cancer.

4:18 Terminal.

4:22 Help me make things up with a boy before I go.

4:26 Please.

4:31 Don't go mad.

4:33 Okay.

4:36 Your dad's in hospital.

4:38 It wasn't the health visitor who called yesterday.

4:43 It was him.

4:47 So, you spoke to him?

4:50 Yeah.

4:50 I thought I I I thought rather me than you.

4:53 You know, you've got enough on your plate right

4:55 now without having to cozy up to that scumbag.

5:00 That's my dad.

5:02 Yeah.

5:02 No, I I know that.

5:04 And if I want to see him, that's my decision, not yours.

5:08 So, how do you see him?

5:12 Uh, weak, sad, he's dying.

5:21 They get like that, don't they?

5:22 Questioning things.

5:26 Question what?

5:27 Well, when when people know it's the end, they start having regrets.

5:34 Did he say he he wanted to see me?

5:38 It seemed like you were the only thing in his head, George.

5:41 And if if you do want to see him, then I wouldn't hang about.

5:46 So, where's dad then?

5:51 Uh, I don't know how to tell you this.

5:52 He's um he's gone to visit your granddad, Eddie.

5:59 What?

5:59 He's gone to visit him in prison.

6:02 No, he's had a change of scene.

6:03 He's in Walford General.

6:05 He's been pumped full of who knows what.

6:07 He's got lung cancer.

6:11 It's terminal.

6:12 Yeah.

6:12 And dad's gone to see him.

6:14 Yeah.

6:14 Well, I I tried to talk to him, but he's a big boy, you know.

6:18 I couldn't stop him.

6:19 He killed our dad, Nicola.

6:21 I know, Cojo, and I'm I'm sorry, but George had his reasons.

6:27 Look, um, maybe you could go down there,

6:30 you know, just see that your dad's okay.

6:32 No, you're all right.

6:34 Don't want to waste my time on a racist.

6:36 She said she wanted to see me.

6:39 It's the only thing I want, the only thing I need.

6:46 I'm sorry, George.

6:48 Through everything I did, everything I put you through your whole life.

6:54 I'm not the man I was.

6:56 I can see now all the mistakes I made, the way I carried on, angry and cold.

7:06 I treated your mother like a dog and you even worse.

7:13 I know it's just words.

7:17 But I'm so so sorry.

7:23 What happened?

7:23 What did he say?

7:25 I've never actually seen him like that before.

7:30 One of the first things he said to me was, "I'm sorry."

7:37 That's a bit basic considering what he's done.

7:41 He has never admitted to being wrong about anything.

7:44 And now he's holding his hands up to everything.

7:48 George, that's easy to say.

7:50 Not for him.

7:52 But that doesn't get over the fact that he did it all in the first place.

7:59 My dad died screaming at me, my sisters, about the whole world really.

8:06 He never changed and he never said sorry.

8:13 You going to visit him again?

8:18 Yeah, he wants me to.

8:21 Well, he's saying all the right things, babe.

8:24 But you know the question is do you believe him?

8:29 He brought me out.

8:30 So for better or worse, you may be the man I am.

8:36 Probably deserves a second chance, doesn't he?

8:39 Gina came round with Cojo.

8:41 I was worried about you, so I told him where you were.

8:44 George, if you're going to do this, if you

8:46 are going to bring Eddie back into our lives,

8:49 you could be pushing her away for good.

8:59 I've just been told that the business account is in the red.

9:02 Where's the money gone?

9:03 Harry, if you if you are using again, I You really think I'd be that stupid?

9:09 Well, money's gone somewhere.

9:10 He's giving it to the restaurant.

9:13 He's really been struggling, Nicola.

9:14 He's just been moving some profits over to help out.

9:18 How could you be so stupid?

9:20 I was trying to stop us going under.

9:21 What else do you want me to do?

9:22 Come to me.

9:25 THIS PLACE HAS GOT OVERHEADS, HARRY, that need paying.

9:28 And if I don't cough up, THEN BOTH BUSINESSES GO UNDER.

9:32 What happened at the hospital?

9:33 Not much.

9:34 Your dad's gone back up there.

9:36 He's gone back yet to say goodbye.

9:38 All right.

9:38 It's done with that file old git.

9:40 Look, between juggling a newborn baby and dealing with a dying man,

9:46 maybe we don't tell him about the restaurant just yet.

9:48 Okay, but how are we going to fix it?

9:51 I don't know.

9:52 Leave it to me.

9:54 I I'll I'll think of something.

9:56 You're never going to guess what that old chances just asked me.

9:59 He wants to move here.

10:02 What?

10:02 He's got compassionate release or something, which means he can die at home.

10:06 So, here with us?

10:08 No, no, not here.

10:09 I mean, thank God cuz of the court case.

10:11 But he's asked me to ask around see if anybody take him in.

10:16 Oh, sorry.

10:16 I know he should.

10:17 How could he even ask that of me?

10:19 I mean us.

10:22 Look, babe.

10:24 I Why do I always let him inside my head?

10:31 Because you are a good man and he don't deserve you.

10:44 I'm never going to be free of that, man.

10:47 Never.

10:48 George gave you his answer.

10:54 So you stay away from him and you stay away from my family.

11:01 Don't you ever contact us again.

11:08 I got money.

11:10 My glory was good with the savings.

11:13 And there's me pension as well.

11:16 We're talking a low six figures.

11:20 She'd have wanted him to have the lot

11:27 bribe.

11:27 Oh, you really are a bottom feeder.

11:29 What good is it to me now?

11:32 Well, George obviously didn't want it.

11:33 So, I never asked him.

11:36 I don't want to buy his forgiveness.

11:39 I need to earn it.

11:42 Think about it.

11:45 Please.

11:46 I'm selling this place.

11:49 No, you're not.

11:49 You can't.

11:50 This is our livelihood.

11:51 Yeah.

11:51 Well, not if I default on the bills.

11:53 We'll lose both businesses.

11:54 And Baby Ivy's out in the cold.

11:56 I've I've got no choice, Harry.

11:58 Right.

11:59 That money that you gave to the restaurant,

12:01 it wasn't just for this place, darling.

12:03 It was all that I had.

12:06 Okay.

12:07 Okay.

12:07 What What about Dad?

12:08 He can help us out.

12:09 Oh, yeah.

12:10 He's going to give a loan to his ex, her partner, and their newborn baby.

12:13 Darling, there's more chance of Barney playing for West Ham.

12:18 Mom.

12:20 Mom, running this place is the only thing keeping me sober without it.

12:25 No, no, darling.

12:26 Darling, we will manage.

12:27 No, I won't.

12:28 I'm not out of the woods yet, and I don't want to relapse.

12:30 Mom, please.

12:32 Please.

12:33 There's got to be another way.

12:34 You really want to make peace with George?

12:36 It's my dying wish.

12:39 Then you sign that money over to me.

12:42 Consider it done.

12:44 You're going to have the lot, but you got to let me move in with you.

12:50 That ain't the deal.

12:52 I need to be close to my boy.

12:55 You told him they won't let you.

12:57 You have to find a way.

12:59 You want me to lie to the authorities and all?

13:02 Oh, where's the harm?

13:04 Wouldn't you want to fix things if you had one last chance?

13:12 Surprised to see you up and about.

13:14 Thought you'd be getting your beauty sleep.

13:17 Why?

13:17 I heard you last night.

13:18 What's this?

13:19 Caught to 3 this morning.

13:21 Linda was having a bit of a giggle with some geyzer.

13:24 Couldn't quite make out the voice.

13:26 Mind the plate?

13:27 It's hot.

13:31 Everything to your satisfaction?

13:33 Oh, you'll get uh no complaints from me.

13:36 Excited about your birthday party?

13:38 Yeah, I am.

13:40 It's going to be a laugh.

13:42 We'll bring a new bloke.

13:43 Oh, I have no intention of coming, but you and Cindy have a great time.

13:48 Shared birthday, eh?

13:50 What are the chances?

13:52 You're a hypocrite.

13:53 You know that.

13:55 Really?

13:55 Yeah.

13:55 You have a go at me for being all over Cindy next to you.

13:57 You're having off on the doorstep.

14:00 Firstly, you were all over Cindy in the middle of my hallway.

14:03 Secondly, I did not have it off on the doorstep.

14:07 It was in the privacy of my bedroom.

14:12 Hope that's clear things up here.

14:15 I don't think I need that coffee anymore.

14:17 You saved me this nice birthday cake.

14:19 See you later, Cinders.

14:22 Lock to the ball.

14:23 You do know that makes you an ugly sister, don't you?

14:26 Not Prince Charming.

14:28 Have fun.

14:35 What would it kill you?

14:36 Celebrate my birthday.

14:37 Show me a bit of support.

14:39 Well, you know, it's a big day for my mom, so my support is already spoken for.

14:42 Besides, the last thing I need is to watch

14:44 you and Cindy falling all over each other.

14:46 Why would that bother you?

14:48 You got this mystery geese to have a bit of fun with.

14:50 Or maybe that is just a way to try and make me feel jealous.

14:53 Cuz if it is, it ain't working.

14:54 Cuz I ain't jealous.

14:57 Okay, you're not jealous.

15:00 You know, I reckon you should definitely tell

15:02 this geyser that you're still hung up on your ex.

15:09 Don't weigh up.

15:11 Last night was fun.

15:15 And I think we should do it again.

15:19 Maybe, but you're not going to be around for long, are you?

15:22 I don't know.

15:23 I've got all that stuff with Mark to sort out.

15:26 You're passing through.

15:29 like the last night was great.

15:30 You don't want to fall madly in love with me and be left brokenhearted.

15:40 No one knows what the future holds.

15:43 Remember what you said last night about investing in yourself?

15:47 Well, don't forget that.

15:51 I suppose you could take me for a non-alcoholic beverage.

15:55 Yeah, right.

15:58 What about right now?

15:59 We could go over the V.

16:02 Actually, there's somewhere else I'd rather we go to.

16:06 So, uh, do you two share the same birth here or just day?

16:10 No, she's much younger than I am.

16:13 Very gallant.

16:15 What?

16:15 At least 10 years younger than me.

16:17 Yeah.

16:17 Oh, yeah.

16:20 Oh.

16:24 Oh, didn't we put Grant and Linda together?

16:32 What are you doing back in Morford anyway?

16:34 Oh, yeah.

16:34 Sorry.

16:35 Yeah, I forgot.

16:35 Yeah, you come back, bury your mate.

16:38 What was Linda just thrown in as a bit of a bonus?

16:40 Was she?

16:40 Oh, for goodness sake.

16:43 Have you got a problem?

16:44 Me?

16:44 Why would I?

16:45 Cuz you sound like someone who'd like to be badly hurt.

16:49 Ignore him.

16:50 All right, I do.

16:51 You don't.

16:51 Do you make a point coming to my party with that one?

16:56 You know she's playing you.

16:58 Don't you make score points with me?

16:59 Have you heard yourself?

17:02 Nothing I do is anything to do with you.

17:05 Let's go.

17:06 Yeah.

17:06 Yeah.

17:06 Gordon, off you go.

17:07 Tood pip.

17:08 See you later.

17:08 Back to the B&B so we can get his leg over.

17:16 Happy birthday, Max.

17:19 Shall we?

17:20 Mhm.

17:26 What was that about?

17:27 Oh, nothing.

17:28 Just Grant Mitchell causing trouble as usual.

17:30 Yeah, from where I was sitting, it looked like you were trying to pick a fight.

17:34 Obviously, I'm a lover, not a fighter.

17:46 Heat.

17:48 Heat.
