-I can't believe you're just going to let her walk.

-Save it, Mum.

So, you're really leaving.

Hm.

You can have my scarf.

Oh, thank you. Come here.

I'm doing the right thing, aren't I?

I'm very proud of you.

I went to see Dean.

Have you lost it?

He's going to plead guilty.

-And you're soft enough to believe him, are you?

-That's what I told her.

Well, why would he say it if he didn't mean it?

I'm glad Roxy won't have to give evidence.

I'm glad she's got justice.

Hi.

It's Denise.

Denise Fox...

Johnson.

Lucas's ex.

Yesterday, I...I was very sad.

I'd split up with Kush,

and that made me want to... to run away and hide,

and that was...silly, and wrong.

You're going to miss your plane.

Come on, Jade. Give your mum a chance.

I'm not going to Pakistan.

Make your mind up.

I have. I have. And actually, you...you helped me.

I don't want to just be...be the cow that left you on the doorstep.

Did you say that?

I've got a new place. It's just to myself. It's not very far.

It's just two buses. Kush had already found it.

Buses are all right.

Yeah, so you can...you can come and see me as often as you want.

If that's OK with your nan and grandad?

Yeah, course it is.

Give us a break from her lip.

Oi!

I've just...I've just ordered another bed.

The room's...the room's no bigger than a cupboard, but...

you can...you can come and stay over.

Are you sure?

If... That's if you want?

Did you have a dead baby?

Is this Will Mitchell again?

Everybody knows.

Yes.

Yes, I did.

You had a little brother, Zaair,

but he died.

So now you want me?

Um... I had you first. And I was too young,

and I couldn't be there for you.

But I am here now.

You've always been my daughter,

and now I'd like to try and be your mum.

We ought to...

It's all right, me too.

Do you want me to walk you to school

or I can pick you up after?

I ain't a kid.

Have you lost the plot?

Ain't you got nappies to change?

Lucas?

The man pretended you was dead!

This is about Jordan. It's not about Lucas.

Oh, the boy who stole from your daughter, yeah?

I'm simply trying to help.

Yes, yes, until that man clicks his fingers again.

And it's too late to stop me.

DOORBELL RINGS

BELL RINGS TWICE MORE

You're lucky he admitted it.

Lucky?

Well, yeah, at least you don't have to give evidence.

Yeah, I mean... Tony never admitted what he did to me.

I never got to hear them words.

Yeah, but the hearing ain't about Mum, is it?

At least he gets banged up.

Yeah, well, I hope he rots in hell.

I'm just going to have a little lie-down.

I'm getting one of my heads.

Roxy's not getting her phone.

I mean, my mum said that she'd thought she'd come, but...

Maybe she's meeting us there.

Are you sure you don't want me to borrow Mick's car?

No, no, a cab will be quicker, won't it?

You're not coming.

Yes, I am. I'm your sister.

Shirl.

Room for a little one?

Are you sure?

I need to see him say the words.

Stacey?

Your friend's come back to see you.

I told you on the phone. No-one's seen Jordan in years.

Yeah, but your brother said...

The man's playing you!

I've got children. I can't have him back in the house.

Yeah, but it was just a bit of money.

He threw me against the wall!

And that's the boy you want to find?

Er, and this is the person whose husband come home

dripping in blood last year?

In fact, if you want to go there...

-He was a messed-up kid when he came to me.

-Yeah, but...

And I tried, but...he got in with the wrong people,

and every week there would be someone looking for him.

If it wasn't one of his gang members,

it would be another gang, or the police.

Well, I've promised Lucas now.

He's as rotten as his father!

I told her.

But you loved that boy!

Yeah, he was a child.

Listen, Dee, I've got a baby. If he's dangerous...

Some people can't be helped.

Yeah, well, I'm not giving up on him!

That's my baby brother for you. He's really got inside your head.

You don't even have to see him.

Maybe you could...you could just... put the word round. Please?

Where's your mother?

She said she went upstairs for a lie-down, didn't she?

Well, she ain't.

Me and Kush, we just... we didn't work.

Fresh start, all that.

I miss Arthur.

Yeah, I saw Martin yesterday. He said that he'd brought him in.

Been bringing him in every day now. Such a good dad.

Martin's not his dad.

She thinks God is.

Stacey, we talked about this.

No, God's...God's not the father.

It's Kush.

I'm really sorry.

It's all right.

I know.

Are you angry?

Yeah.

Knowing our baby died, and...

I can't...I can't give Kush another one...

All the lies. So many lies.

But...we weren't together at the time.

I know you didn't do it to hurt me.

But...you've...you've really been there for me this last year.

Every single step of the way.

Now all I want is for you to get better.

I've lost a husband. I don't want to lose a friend.

Please, take my number.

If Jordan calls, tell me.

She needs protecting from both of them.

She's not coming, is she?

Roxy hasn't seen him since...

It's not easy.

But when she finds out you came, I'm sure it'll mean a lot.

DOOR OPENS

All right?

Don't give up on her. She's good for you.

Yes, but I'm not good enough for her.

You're a much better person than I am.

Shall we raise the bar a bit?

"Shall we raise the bar a bit?"

But you're a much better person than you believe you are. Really.

Are you free this afternoon?

There's...there's one more thing I want to do.

Dean Wicks. 23B Albert Square, E20.

27th of the 12th, 1987.

Mr Wicks, it is said that on the 26th December 2015,

you attempted to rape a woman

contrary to Section 1 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003.

Do you plead guilty or not guilty?

Mr Wicks?

Mr Wicks?

Not guilty.

Thought you'd be gone.

Er...I want you to join me,

in the gardens at half past three.

Your Honour, my learned friend says there are substantial grounds

to believe that Mr Wicks would fail to surrender to bail, but...

He's trying to walk free!

..the defendant has been settled here in Walford for two years.

He owns a successful hairdressing business...

He tried to rape my sister!

..and has established a relationship

with his estranged daughter of late.

-No way he's seeing her.

-They can't just let him out.

To suggest he would run away is simply nonsense.

Thank you, Mr Cant.

I am convinced that Mr Wicks has significant ties to Walford.

However, his previous failures to surrender to bail,

as outlined by the prosecution,

suggest to me that there are substantial grounds

to believe that the defendant would fail to surrender again.

-No.

-Therefore, you will be remanded in custody.

Yes!

You can't do this!

Your trial has been placed on the warned list

for the week commencing 20th June, 2016.

Take him down.

Mum.

Mum!

Mum!

Zaair...

..wherever I go, you will always be part of me.

But a little bit of you will always be here.

This is where you were born, where you should have grown up.

This is where all our dreams of you were,

so this is where we lay those dreams to rest.

You should have been running round this square one day...

..growing up knowing this family, knowing your sister.

When we look at this tree - any of us - we will think of you...

..and all the things we never got to do with you.

And it will make us want to be glad for everything that we've got,

and every day we get to be alive.

I love you, Zaair.

Me, too.

Mummy and Daddy love you always.

Shirley. How did it go?

We were wrong.

Some people never change.

Are you still sad?

Yeah, A little bit. Are you?

Yes, a little bit.

It's all right to be sad.

But it is also OK to play football!

Don't think you can get it!

I don't think you can get it, madam!

Hey, nice pass! Get back! Back, back, back!

Get it, get it!

THEY CONTINUE YELLING

Get it, get it, get it!

Hey! Why did you leave?

Come on. Get it together, for Jade's sake.

I can't even give up the fags.

You and me, we're not what she needs.

Come on.

I just wish you'd told me.

What did you think I was going to do - stop you?

I didn't want everyone getting angry or you hurting even more.

I just...I just wanted to see him say the words. In court.

But...

He said it. To me.

He admitted he was a rapist.

And now I've got to let the courts do what they do,

and get on with my life.

He's gone.

I love you, Linda Carter.

Good. Cos I love you, too.

All ready?

Yeah, as I'll ever be.

I won't be coming back for a while.

Thank you for everything.

Oh, I'll miss you.

You look after that tree for me.

Hm.

DOORBELL RINGS

If that's Kush...

Well, I won't hurt him, I promise.

Hello!

She wants some of Grandad's special juice.

Right, well, come on in, then. Kitchen.

Come in.

Why did your wife leave you?

What you said about Jade coming to visit...

Oh, yeah, I can come and collect her, if...

No, we don't want that.

-Right. But we... But we...

-We...

We'd like her to come and live with you full time.

Er...what?

She needs to be with her mother, not her grandparents.

I walked out on my kids, and left it too late to go back.

Don't make the same mistake.

So, what do you think?

Um...

Well, yeah, I'd... I'd love to but, er...

But?

Social services?

No, I've rang them. And the profile is that you're her mum.

You have a job, you have a flat...

I know, I know.

And you have me backing you all the way.

Both of us.

Not just with the meetings and the paperwork,

but with Jade.

We'll be there all the time.

Giving you a break at weekends and half term.

Any help you need.

You... You're really serious, aren't you?

I'm not walking out on Jade,

but she needs to be with her mum.

This is crazy! This is crazy!

Of course, this... We need to ask...

Took your time.

Would you...

Would you like to come and live with me in my new flat?

Would I have to wear a headscarf?

No. No.

-Even if I did, I'd still want to come.

-Yeah?

You're having the room that's like a cupboard.

OK. Come here!

I let your dad walk out on me.

And?

And I am not going to let you make the same mistake.

Here we are. More sweets.

Now, don't eat them all at once.

Thanks!

It's exciting, isn't it? New family.

New home.

Oh!

Don't forget your morning routine.

If I forget, I'll text you, not that you'll have any credit.

Go and get your school jumper.

Come on.

For someone who doesn't need things, you've got an awful lot of...

Don't go.

I'm not going to let you go.

You need to leave.

This is between me and my wife.

It's all right.

Jade's coming to live with me.

Let me come, too.

The three of us. New home.

Not here.

I need a favour.

This afternoon was...

It was beautiful.

Yeah, I'm glad you were there.

You don't have to do this.

-Kush...

-You don't have to throw everything away.

Let me come with you.

We can be the family that we always wanted to be.

No, it can't be. It won't be.

Why? Why not? We can tell Stacey that you know, and...

Oh, well, she told me herself.

I went to see her in hospital.

And she... It was weird.

OK, well, it's just Martin, then, innit? I'll tell Martin.

I will tell him just like you want,

and then there'll be no more secrets, will there?

And then what?

And then what? You'll tell the world that you're Arthur's dad

and then you'll walk out on him?

No, it won't be like that, Shabs.

You'll rip Martin's heart out.

OK. Well, then, I won't tell him.

I won't tell him and then we won't go. Just...

..stay with me.

Please.

We can do this.

You know, it's not...

It's not really about, you know, the secrets.

Your best friend and my best friend and...

It's not really about the lies,

because I've lied to you as much as you've lied to me, and...

I promise you...

It's not even really about... about watching you with a child

that you had with someone else,

because that's exactly what you have to do

when you look at me and Jade.

He's a little baby.

He's what we had.

What I can't give you.

No, no, all I want is you.

All I want is you.

We've tried.

You know, I've tried...

I've tried harder at this than I have with anything else in my life.

But everything's so messed up.

It's always so difficult.

And this last year, there is so little of me left.

This is...

This is my chance to start again.

What I should have done years ago. Me... Me and my daughter.

I love you. I love you.

I love you. I love you.

I love you.

I need you to set me free.

Yeah.

-You just...

-No.

-You just say it three times. You can do it.

-Come on.

-I can't.

-I can't.

-You can do it.

-I can't.

-You can.

-I can't.

Um... If we're going to miss the rush hour...

Just give me a minute.

I...

-I...

-I...

I divorce you.

Shabnam Kazemi, I...

Mein tumhe talaq...

Mein tumhe talaq...

..detha hoon.

..detha hoon.

Say it again. Again.

Shabnam Kazemi...

..mein tumhe talaq detha hoon.

Again.

Shabnam Kazemi...

..mein tumhe talaq detha hoon.

Roxy? Where were you?

Look, I don't know if you know, but...he pleaded not guilty.

I'm so sorry.

You better stay off the smokes.

I'll try.

I'll come back and smell your breath.

Right, you. Are you going to give your nan a hug?

She don't do hugs.

Then you'd better teach me.

All right, come on, then, let's get you belted in.

I ain't a kid.

All right.

Come and....come and visit once we're settled.

I'll call.

Thank you.

I'm going to miss you.

I'm going to miss you, too.

But, oi, I'm not going very far. Give me a hug, come on.

Biggest hug you can.

All right, you look after yourself, yeah?

Not like anyone else is going to, are they?

Shush! Whatever happens, you know where I am, yeah?

It's just something in my eye.

Yes.

Shabnam.

I've just been with Stacey. She told me.

You're moving?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Why?

It's... It's for the best. Fresh start and all that.

Mate?

Good luck with everything, yeah?

Come on.

You'll have time to babysit this one now.

Can we have fish fingers?

Every single day.

Shab...

Shabs.

Shabnam!

Shabnam!
