0:00:26 > 0:00:29Right, you two can manage the kids today, can't you?

0:00:29 > 0:00:30I'll only be over the car lot, if you need me.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34Yeah. Course. Listen, Tiff's been asking a lot of questions.

0:00:34 > 0:00:38Look, it's a bank holiday. Take them up the pictures or something.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Here you are. Treat yourself to some nosh afterwards.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43No. I think they'd probably prefer it if we all stayed in together

0:00:43 > 0:00:46- and watched a film.- Whitney, have some fun. Go on, take it.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Right, I've got to go. See you later.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57You can come through now.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08I can't remember the last time

0:01:08 > 0:01:11- you slept here.- You standing in for Lady Di as the guard dog?

0:01:11 > 0:01:16If you move in with her, you'll end up right back where you started -

0:01:16 > 0:01:19black and blue and looking for an escape route.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23I live here, Shirl. Me Bill, you Ben, remember?

0:01:30 > 0:01:32We've got to keep it together. Yeah?

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- You all right, Mum? - Hello, darling. Yeah.

0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Cheers, Abs. - Whoa. Do we really need all this?

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Yeah. I told ya, we're doing things properly today.

0:01:48 > 0:01:49Your mum's dropping Oscar off.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52It's going to be me, my kids and a tonne of grub.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56Then, we just close the door and act like nothing bad ever happens.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Take them indoors, Abs.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Give me a break, Lauren, all right?

0:02:03 > 0:02:08Got Carol in hospital, we're still waiting for the results of these gene tests.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12- I'm trying to create a few happy memories from today.- Some people don't have that option.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Let me take this round to Peter and Ian.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Oh, for crying out loud.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Don't fuss, darling. - How are you feeling?

0:02:41 > 0:02:42Better, no thanks to you.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46Sorry, Nurse. She's just feeling a bit guilty, blaming herself.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Who said I'm blaming myself? I'm not the oncology nurse.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53I'm not the one trained to notice the signs of an infection like this.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Sometimes there aren't any signs.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58This is not her fault. Just leave her alone.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Look, I know how scary this is.

0:03:01 > 0:03:06But sometimes, these infections just take a hold without any warning.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09So what are you saying - this could happen again at the drop of a hat?

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Am I allowed some more water?

0:03:12 > 0:03:16- Of course you are.- How are we supposed to live like this?

0:03:16 > 0:03:18One minute, she's fine - no fever, no pain,

0:03:18 > 0:03:20- no nothing. Next minute... - It won't happen again.

0:03:20 > 0:03:25You don't know that, Mum. She did just say, these things can happen with no warning.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27She said "sometimes".

0:03:44 > 0:03:45We can't go on like this -

0:03:45 > 0:03:52- practically destitute, Patrick on my back, if I so much as sneeze. - Maybe if you talked to him, Nan...

0:03:52 > 0:03:57Nah, Dexter, he wants us gone. And I was never one to beg.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01We've got to find a deposit for a new place, sharpish.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05Well, what if you didn't have to fork out for a two-bed, though?

0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Be much easier for you to afford a bedsit?- Where would you sleep?

0:04:08 > 0:04:11- On the hot plate?- No. Me and Jay have been looking for somewhere.

0:04:11 > 0:04:16He's been feeling like a spare one ever since Sharon moved back in and Phil would lend him the money.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21You know I love living with you, Nan, but what choice have we got?

0:04:21 > 0:04:25Yeah. We've got to do what we've got to do.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30All right. Hanging out with your nan again? Very street.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34Says the girl who lives with her grandad. You give it, I'll give it straight back.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36- You ready?- We've still got to pick Jay up on the way.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40- All right, Nan, see you later, yeah. - Take care, kids.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44Your mum said you'd slipped over here. I need you back in the bar.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46- It'll be standing room only by lunchtime.- Why can't Johnny do it?

0:04:46 > 0:04:50He don't work for me no more. I pay your wages, liven yourself up.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Don't worry. Laser Quest can wait. - That is so not the point, at all.

0:04:54 > 0:04:55Oi.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Give us a couple of them sticky buns, please.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02- I had everything under control. - Mum, you collapsed in the street.

0:05:02 > 0:05:03That don't seem very

0:05:03 > 0:05:07- in control to me.- I was taking my temperature, like they told me to.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10- And it was fine, yeah? - I didn't want to stop

0:05:10 > 0:05:12and make a fuss, for the sake of a couple of degrees.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Mum, honestly! - Why didn't you say something?

0:05:15 > 0:05:20Cos I didn't think it was a big deal,

0:05:20 > 0:05:23what with Sonia worried out of her mind about everything

0:05:23 > 0:05:25and you two at each other's throats.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Tell me what you two were fighting about,

0:05:27 > 0:05:30instead of getting on my back?

0:05:33 > 0:05:34It was nothing.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41Is it Carol?

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Eh? No, we've had a break-in at the car lot.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Place is in a right state. - Did they nick any motors?

0:05:47 > 0:05:52No, I keep all the keys in the safe. Scuppered their little joyride.

0:05:52 > 0:05:53Did CCTV catch anything?

0:05:53 > 0:05:56No. I've been going through the files on that,

0:05:56 > 0:05:59but some of them appear to be corrupted or missing.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Could you come over and help me restore the backups?

0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Did you not get to the pictures, then, Whit?- No.- Why?

0:06:05 > 0:06:10They didn't want to. I got a DVD from that rental place, instead.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Listen, can we all go and see Carol later? For a visit, all together?

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- The little 'uns are not allowed. - Come on, Grandad, please?

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- No!- The kids want to know that their gran's going to be all right.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21None of us know that, Whitney!

0:06:21 > 0:06:25Come on. I've got other things to worry about. Sorry, but...

0:06:31 > 0:06:33What's the matter with you?

0:06:33 > 0:06:36You look like a bulldog that's been chewing a stinging nettle.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38And not a good-looking one, like Lady Di, either.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41I swear down, I am, literally, THE lowest rung of the food chain here.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46You're co-landlady and I'm, like, plankton.

0:06:48 > 0:06:49Tina around?

0:06:49 > 0:06:53No, she's out. Said something about a hot date with someone who's not a scumbag.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Tina!

0:06:56 > 0:06:58We need crisps, plankton.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03I thought you were working?

0:07:03 > 0:07:07Early shift. I'm meeting Aleks and Jake for a drink - trying to get us all bonding.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09What, before you spring the washing-up rota on 'em?

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Look, speaking of which...

0:07:13 > 0:07:15The offer is still on the table.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19But, in the meantime, I want you to be able to pop in whenever you feel like it.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21What, until she's part of the furniture?

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Sorry, big ears. Not an open discussion, actually.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Bill and Ben, remember?

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Erm, it's a really nice idea,

0:07:32 > 0:07:35but you'd probably better check with the lads first.

0:07:48 > 0:07:49How're you getting on?

0:07:49 > 0:07:50One sec.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57That's it - all the footage since before Easter.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Someone must have deleted the original files by mistake.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Right. All right, mate, thank you.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Where do you get your brains from, eh?

0:08:05 > 0:08:06Like I don't know.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11I can sit here and do that, if you want to go and see Nan.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Eh?

0:08:13 > 0:08:16No, she's all right. She's got your mum and Sonia looking out for her, ain't she?

0:08:16 > 0:08:19I'm best off here holding the fort.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Thanks, Liam. Appreciate it.

0:08:28 > 0:08:29She could've died, you know that?

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Sonia!

0:08:31 > 0:08:33There's no point being in denial.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37Me and you, we've got to face up to the facts. We could've lost her.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43You know, even when we weren't talking...

0:08:45 > 0:08:47..I always knew she was there.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52If I couldn't pick up the phone...

0:08:57 > 0:09:01You and Mum mean the world to me. Do you know that?

0:09:01 > 0:09:04I shouldn't have gone in all guns blazing.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Sometimes my mouth just works quicker than my brain.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14I'm so sorry I've caused so much aggro between us.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17If I ever lost either of ya...

0:09:23 > 0:09:27It could be my little girl sitting outside that ICU room,

0:09:27 > 0:09:29seeing if I'm going to pull through.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Don't say that. It might not even happen.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33But what if it does?

0:09:33 > 0:09:36What if Rebecca suffers cos I'm not brave enough to face the facts?

0:09:37 > 0:09:40That's a shame about Laser Quest.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43It's all right. I said I'd meet them in the Vic later,

0:09:43 > 0:09:45so, this way, I get to spend time with you and my mates.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48The market's packed. Everyone's just doing their shopping,

0:09:48 > 0:09:50stuffing themselves with food.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53It is a bank holiday. It's what people do.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56Everyone's just acting like things have gone back to normal.

0:09:56 > 0:09:57The police ain't doing nothing,

0:09:57 > 0:10:01meanwhile Peter's just shut up in his house with no-one to talk to.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Lauren, all you need is a quiet day in with us.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06You are all as bad as each other, do you know that?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08All you care about is getting on with your own poxy lives.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Lauren, don't go.

0:10:10 > 0:10:11I need some air.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50What are you creeping about for, you weirdo?

0:10:50 > 0:10:53You couldn't sneak me out a pint, could ya?

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Only your old lady will make me put my hand in my pocket.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Too right she will. No free rides round here, Grandad.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59I need to talk to my daughter.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06What's this about you being treated like plankton?

0:11:06 > 0:11:09There was me thinking Shirley might've kept her mouth shut

0:11:09 > 0:11:10as some crazy experiment...

0:11:10 > 0:11:13You are treated exactly the same as your brothers -

0:11:13 > 0:11:14you always have, always will be.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17Is that why Johnny's barely lifted a finger since we moved in

0:11:17 > 0:11:20and Lee's been partying and pulling birds the whole time he was home?

0:11:20 > 0:11:22You've all had to pull your weight.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24It ain't my fault the boys have got other things going on.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Right. So just cos I'm here day in, day out, I get taken advantage of?

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Nice one.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Oh go on, Tanya, it's only a couple of hundred, just so me

0:11:34 > 0:11:36and Dexter can get a place of our own, yeah?

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Go cap in hand to him? No, thanks.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47I'll call you at the weekend. Have a proper chat.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Bye, darling.

0:11:54 > 0:11:55You all right, sweetheart?

0:11:59 > 0:12:04Peter's not answering the door. His phone's going straight to voice mail.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07And everyone else is acting like nothing's happened.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10That's the thing about life.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12It's got a nasty habit of going on.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Yeah. Until one day it just doesn't.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21She never saw it coming, Nan. She had plans.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26I think I'd want to know.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31I could... I could just drink that whole bottle.

0:12:31 > 0:12:36And at least it'd be my choice. It'd be in my control.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39All right, stop this right now.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Maybe I'd be better off.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47What do you think Lucy would say?

0:12:47 > 0:12:51If she had a choice, to be here or not? Go on.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53What do you think she'd say?

0:12:58 > 0:13:01It's just so pointless, Nan.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04It doesn't make sense.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07No, it doesn't. Not by a long shot.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Come on, darling, let's get you home.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20How're you doing? All right?

0:13:27 > 0:13:30What's the matter? Is it Carol?

0:13:30 > 0:13:32No. It's not Carol, Max.

0:13:32 > 0:13:33Can we go in the kitchen?

0:13:45 > 0:13:50I should've known better than to believe anything that comes out your mouth, Max.

0:13:50 > 0:13:51You and Lucy were over, were you?

0:13:51 > 0:13:54Yeah. I told you already.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56What's all this about?

0:13:57 > 0:13:58When did you last see her?

0:13:58 > 0:14:00I don't know. Ages ago.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Ages ago? Funny, cos I've just seen

0:14:02 > 0:14:04footage of you two together on the car lot on Good Friday.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09You forgot to delete the backups, didn't you?

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Right little bust-up you had.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15All right, fair enough. So what? I lied. It weren't over.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19All she done was come over for a talk. We had a little spat and that was it, she left.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21Nah, nah. No way. There's more to it than that.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25- Otherwise you wouldn't have deleted the files.- See, if you're going to jump to conclusions,

0:14:25 > 0:14:26the police are bound to, ain't they?

0:14:26 > 0:14:29All I'm doing is protecting myself, the business, and you.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31You make a mug of me once - more fool me.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33- You try and do it twice... - What? What're you going to do?

0:14:33 > 0:14:36- I'm going to the police. Let them deal with your mess. - What's the matter?

0:14:36 > 0:14:40- You ain't thinking straight! - I'm done getting in the middle of other people's situations.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42I'm washing my hands of this one.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44So you want the car lot on all the front pages, do you?

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Cos if that business goes down, how are you going to feed the family?

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Dad.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Ladies.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58There you are.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Cheers.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Jay, you know the first thing to do when we get this flat?- What's that?

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Me and you have got to go and we've got to get a big fat dirty TV.

0:15:06 > 0:15:0950 inches - nothing less. Reckon that'll do us.

0:15:09 > 0:15:1050 inches?

0:15:10 > 0:15:12I thought you lot were always saying size didn't matter.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16Yeah, well it does. I'll let you play on my console any time you want, darling.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Wow! Do you know what? I'd rather fashion my own arm into a kebab

0:15:19 > 0:15:20and eat it, but thank you so much.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Mate, if you was in a school playground now,

0:15:25 > 0:15:27you'd be pulling her hair.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29So? What's wrong with you, man?

0:15:30 > 0:15:34Yeah, could you give me the number of Walford police station, please?

0:15:38 > 0:15:40All right, darling? How's your mum?

0:15:40 > 0:15:42She wants to see ya.

0:15:42 > 0:15:43Eh? Why? What's happened?

0:15:43 > 0:15:46Dunno. She just wants to see you.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49- She never said nothing.- She wouldn't do, would she? She don't, does she?

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Just like she didn't say she felt ill before she collapsed.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Like she didn't say she found a lump as soon as she'd found it. - Darling, don't. Come on. Sh.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Hey, hey...- I mean, let's face it, even if her leg was dropping off she

0:15:58 > 0:16:02wouldn't say anything, would she, until she was hopping or something.

0:16:02 > 0:16:03Look, calm down. It'll be all right.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06Look, just go. Just go. She wants to see you.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Don't worry, Bianca. Please, don't worry.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16Do us a favour, Nance? You couldn't grab us a pack of salt and vinegar crisps, could you?

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Thanks, Nance. You're making today a real pleasure.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Look, I've shared flats before.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Things'll be better for everyone if we have a drink now and again.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31And if we've got any problems, we talk it out.

0:16:31 > 0:16:35No passive aggression, no stealing each other's milk. Deal?

0:16:38 > 0:16:39Deal.

0:16:40 > 0:16:41All right.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Any chance of Tina moving in officially,

0:16:47 > 0:16:49so we can make this thing cheaper for everyone?

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Can I ask you something?

0:16:51 > 0:16:54You and Tina - would you actually live together...

0:16:54 > 0:16:55like a real couple?

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Oh, ho! Wow.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59You're not serious?

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Oh! Hey, no, no, I'm all for it.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Anything to keep life interesting. I mean...

0:17:07 > 0:17:09LAUGHTER

0:17:09 > 0:17:11It don't matter, anyway.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14Doesn't look like it's going to be an issue.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16Oi. Watch the bar for a bit, I've got an errand to run.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18Yeah, cos we're rushed off our feet!

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Which is why I ain't had five minutes to myself.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23Nancy's got the hump and I need to sort it. Family trumps business.

0:17:30 > 0:17:34- Wotcher.- Hey.- Bianca said you wanted to see me.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38Yeah. The consultant came past.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42- My blood count's up.- Good.- And I'm responding well to the antibiotics.

0:17:42 > 0:17:46So I should be able to come home tomorrow.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Oh, great.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Course, it doesn't mean much, not really.

0:17:54 > 0:17:58I could be straight back here in a couple of weeks.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02Well, let's look on the bright side, shall we?

0:18:02 > 0:18:04I'd rather be realistic, David.

0:18:05 > 0:18:10Either I pull through this or I don't - and we've no idea

0:18:10 > 0:18:14which way it's going to go and no way to influence things.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17We just have to wait and see.

0:18:17 > 0:18:22Well, while we're waiting, let's try and be a bit glass half full, shall we?

0:18:22 > 0:18:26My face is hurting from painting on a smile.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30I can do it in front of Sonia and Bianca, and the kids.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33But you and me need to admit the truth.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44We can't keep pretending.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48Not when the door's shut and it's just the two of us.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56I really am scared.

0:18:56 > 0:19:00And I know you are, as well.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07All this running around after the kids, working all hours

0:19:07 > 0:19:11is cos you can't bear to sit in this room with me.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14That's... that's not true, Carol. It's not.

0:19:14 > 0:19:19I think it is. I think it is, because when you're here, the truth

0:19:19 > 0:19:21is staring you in the face.

0:19:23 > 0:19:24Please stop. Stop...

0:19:24 > 0:19:28I know - I know the future seems terrifying at the minute.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32You don't have to be strong in front of me, David.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42It's all right.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44It's all right...

0:19:44 > 0:19:45I love you.

0:19:48 > 0:19:53- Come on.- One of the things that I've learnt watching Sonia and Bianca the

0:19:53 > 0:19:58last couple of weeks is how easily this family can tear itself apart.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03And we can't let that happen.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07Whether I pull through this or I don't, this family has to survive.

0:20:10 > 0:20:15You, you have to do everything you can to stop it falling apart.

0:20:15 > 0:20:20OK? Whatever it takes. For me.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24What if I can't, Carol? What if I...?

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Hey. Hey, look at me, David.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30We've spent our lives running away, you and me.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33But we're different now.

0:20:35 > 0:20:39You can do this - I so believe in you.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Can I come in here with you?

0:20:53 > 0:20:56They're watching the Muppets in there, it's doing my head in.

0:20:58 > 0:20:59Dad, I'm sorry about before,

0:20:59 > 0:21:01I didn't mean to take things out on you.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03I know none of this is your fault.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Sit down.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11You all right? You don't look very well.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20I'm not the dad you deserve, Lauren. All right.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Dad, what's wrong?

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Listen, I've done things.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30I've done bad things.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33I don't deserve forgiveness.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39All that's in the past now, Dad.

0:21:39 > 0:21:40We love you, you know we do.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42Listen...

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Right, I'm off. Can I have a word, Max?

0:21:45 > 0:21:49No, Cora. All right. I'm right in the middle of something.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Just go, please.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54A word, Max.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Well, go on. Make it quick.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07I just caught Lauren staring at a bottle of wine,

0:22:07 > 0:22:12- like it was a long-lost kin. You'd better keep an eye on that. - I always do, don't I?

0:22:14 > 0:22:17I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped at you,

0:22:17 > 0:22:19I was just... Got my mind on things.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22If you really want to thank me,

0:22:22 > 0:22:24500 quid would do it.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Go on. Out! Go on.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35Get out of this house!

0:22:35 > 0:22:36What're you trying to do?

0:22:36 > 0:22:39- You trying manipulate my kids, get money out of me?- Dad, stop it!

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Tanya told me to ask for the money!

0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Oh, did she? Yeah, yeah, course she did!- Yeah, she did!

0:22:44 > 0:22:48And I'll tell you what, if I could go back in time, I'd beg her not to marry you.

0:22:48 > 0:22:52You bring nothing but misery to any woman who gets sucked into your orbit!

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Go inside, will you? Go indoors!

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Now!

0:22:58 > 0:22:59And you, just go home.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01I would if I had a home.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Max, what am I going to do about the deposit?

0:23:07 > 0:23:10You think I care about that, Cora? Go and rob a bank.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Pleased with yourself, are you?

0:23:20 > 0:23:22See what you're going to do?

0:23:22 > 0:23:26You're going to rip my family apart. Is that what you want?

0:24:17 > 0:24:21You take that to the police, they'll be crawling round here for weeks.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23They'll go through everything with a fine toothcomb.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Is that what you want?

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Mate, this ain't just about me. It's about the business. My kids.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Lauren. She could be driven back to drink by all of this,

0:24:32 > 0:24:34have you thought about that?

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Right. Follow me.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Have you been here all day?- No, I've had one water and one shandy.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48- I'm taking it slow, Nan. - I've been on the phone to Tanya.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52She's going to lend us the money for the deposit.

0:24:52 > 0:24:56Now, there's a flat going above the doctors, looks just the job.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00That ain't a problem, is it?

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Nah, course not.

0:25:03 > 0:25:07- You all right?- Gents, couldn't borrow this one for a bit, could I?

0:25:07 > 0:25:08L, take over here for me, please?

0:25:08 > 0:25:09Upstairs.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13You got a squint or something?

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Didn't you used to drink in The Feathers on Old Kent Road,

0:25:16 > 0:25:18'76 or thereabouts?

0:25:19 > 0:25:22I never admit to anything before I got my bus pass.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27Only, you remind me of a diamond girl I used to know.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Bit of goer she was, when you got her on the gin.

0:25:33 > 0:25:37Stan Carter. Glad to make your acquaintance.

0:25:37 > 0:25:38Cora Cross.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41And I'll have anything except gin.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43You're on.

0:25:46 > 0:25:47I borrowed them from the gym.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49Now, don't hold back. Whack these on, girl.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51You having a bubble?

0:25:51 > 0:25:53What's the matter?

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Do you want to sit down, have a nice little kiss and a cuddle

0:25:56 > 0:25:59or do you want to settle this like men?

0:25:59 > 0:26:02Fine, but you better be ready, cos I am not holding back.

0:26:02 > 0:26:03What you talking about? I was born ready.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06I don't want you to hold back, I want you stick it... Ohh!

0:26:08 > 0:26:09Ha! Get up, old man. Round two.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11Come on. All hands to the pumps.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13We've got a party to organise.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Ah, Tina's 40th?- Yeah.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17Oh, you are so rubbish.

0:26:17 > 0:26:22I don't know how we'll do it, but the Wicked Witch of the West wants us out of the equation.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24We ain't going down without a fight.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27- You are very lucky.- What you talking about? You slung 'em. Liberty.

0:26:38 > 0:26:39Lauren.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42What are you doing with that?

0:26:43 > 0:26:45You can't do this any more.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49I know it seems like life shouldn't go on, but it has to.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54What are you saying? I should just start the business back up

0:26:54 > 0:26:55and act like nothing's happened?

0:26:55 > 0:26:59I'm saying that, if Lucy was the one left behind, do you really

0:26:59 > 0:27:02think that she would let life pass her by?

0:27:07 > 0:27:12I thought it was really silly when she bought us the same suits.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14I mean, who does that?

0:27:16 > 0:27:19She said it'd make us more recognisable...

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Build the brand.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24See, Lucy believed in the business.

0:27:26 > 0:27:31All right? So why don't you do this for her? Prove her right.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39That'll do.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42Start getting some of that wood.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47Anything that'll burn. Come on, mate. Quickly!

0:28:05 > 0:28:06Right.

0:28:09 > 0:28:13Thank you, David. You're doing the right thing.

0:28:13 > 0:28:14For me, for my family.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19I ain't doing this for you, Max.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21There's only one person I'm doing this for.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24And it ain't you or your family. Yeah?

0:29:26 > 0:29:29- I thought we'd go up West and see a show later.- You're amazing.

0:30:03 > 0:30:04Aww. Come here, you.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06How does it feel being 40? Your hip giving you gyp?

0:30:07 > 0:30:1040 was the beginning of the end for me, health-wise.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12Nice one, Grandad. Bundle of laughs as usual.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14Dunno what all this talk about 40's about.

0:30:14 > 0:30:16I'm 30, you bunch of planks. THEY LAUGH

0:30:16 > 0:30:20We've got you a lovely big cake for later. Shop-bought.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22Phew!

0:30:37 > 0:30:40And tonight, we're going to throw the best Russell

0:30:42 > 0:30:44But we've already got plans for tonight.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46Tina, we own a pub.

0:30:46 > 0:30:50You don't think we're not going to throw a party for your 40th?!

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Babe, a party here'll be the business.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54We can go to the theatre any time.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57THEY CHEER

0:30:59 > 0:31:02- What time do you call this? - Sorry, mate.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05- I was at the hospital, getting the result of the gene test.- And?

0:31:05 > 0:31:07It's good. It's all negative.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09You really are blessed with good fortune, ain't you, Max?

0:31:09 > 0:31:11I'll sort everything out later.

0:31:11 > 0:31:13- I'll go down the PC place, get us some new gear.- Yeah.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16You'll pay on your own credit card, won't you? So it'll be

0:31:16 > 0:31:19really easy for the Old Bill to figure out what's been going on?

0:31:19 > 0:31:22I called a mate. He's going to bring over some new machines.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24- Untraceable. - Oh, right. Saves a job, don't it?

0:31:24 > 0:31:25- Hi, Lauren.- Hiya.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27- All right? - Mum's just picked up Oscar.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30- She said you can speak to him at the weekend.- Lovely.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32You look like a young lady who's aiming to be

0:31:32 > 0:31:34businesswoman of the year.

0:31:34 > 0:31:38I'm just trying to do something to keep Lucy's memory alive.

0:31:38 > 0:31:39Yeah, good.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42Well, now you're here I'm going to shoot off and collect Carol.

0:31:42 > 0:31:45- I'm taking the Saab, all right, Max? - Yeah, no worries.

0:31:45 > 0:31:48- You sure you can manage on your own today?- Yes.

0:31:48 > 0:31:51Good. See you later.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53Give her my love, yeah?

0:31:53 > 0:31:54Yeah, will do.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57I've just been to the hospital, Lauren.

0:31:57 > 0:31:59I haven't got the cancer gene.

0:32:10 > 0:32:12All right?

0:32:13 > 0:32:15Nan. Nan, listen.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18The letting agency just rang and said if they don't get

0:32:18 > 0:32:20the deposit by the end of the week, we're going to lose the flat.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23They said they'd give me a fortnight yesterday!

0:32:23 > 0:32:26I mean, we can always go back to plan B.

0:32:26 > 0:32:32You and me are getting that flat, come hell or high water.

0:32:36 > 0:32:39All right? Can I have 12 doughnuts, please?

0:32:39 > 0:32:41Yeah. That's £9, please, gorgeous.

0:32:42 > 0:32:4612? Slow down, fatness.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48Shut up, they're not all for me.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52- if you want to come.- All right.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54I couldn't let you spend the night all on your own, could I?

0:32:54 > 0:32:59OK... I'll see you later. Thank you.

0:32:59 > 0:33:00Bye.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05Just tell me, tell me, she didn't just invite me out as friends

0:33:05 > 0:33:08and I just stroked up her arm like some weird lech?

0:33:08 > 0:33:11HE CHUCKLES We've all been there, mate. Trust me.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15Yeah, I'm just... I'm just a bit behind at the moment.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00All set? The doctor will be along soon.

0:34:00 > 0:34:01Good, good, good.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04I hope it's not been too bad being with us the past few days.

0:34:04 > 0:34:07No. You've been fantastic. Really. All of you.

0:34:07 > 0:34:08Haven't they, Carol?

0:34:08 > 0:34:11But don't be offended if we say we ain't planning on hurrying back.

0:34:11 > 0:34:15I dunno. I dish out food, I clean, I stick a smile on my face.

0:34:15 > 0:34:17Still no-one wants to be a repeat customer.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19It's not that.

0:34:19 > 0:34:21If it was just your smile on offer we'd be back like a shot.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23Well, I would anyway.

0:34:23 > 0:34:24SHE LAUGHS

0:34:33 > 0:34:35What are you up to, Dot?

0:34:35 > 0:34:38Just checking that the phone was functioning properly.

0:34:38 > 0:34:41You know, cos we can't be unreachable,

0:34:41 > 0:34:44not a busy establishment like this.

0:34:44 > 0:34:48Trust me, the times you want the phone to ring the most, it don't.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52You waiting on that grandson of yours?

0:34:55 > 0:34:59You know what? When my nan was still alive,

0:34:59 > 0:35:03I never visited her from one month to the next.

0:35:03 > 0:35:07One day she rang me, said she'd gone down with the flu.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09She sounded terrible.

0:35:10 > 0:35:12I was round there like a shot.

0:35:15 > 0:35:20- You and Mr Papadopoulos go back a long way, don't you?- Mm-hmm.

0:35:20 > 0:35:25Do you think he might be open to giving me an advance?

0:35:26 > 0:35:2850-odd years I've worked here,

0:35:28 > 0:35:33and not once have I asked for a penny before my wages was due.

0:35:33 > 0:35:37Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a phone call to make.

0:35:40 > 0:35:43Ah, no, no - secret party-planning meeting. And you're barred.

0:35:43 > 0:35:44Orders of Shirley.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47They won't be able to keep me in the dark all day.

0:35:47 > 0:35:49No. Which is why Shirley already rang Jake

0:35:49 > 0:35:52- and said you'd work a shift at the cafe this afternoon. - On my birthday?!

0:35:52 > 0:35:56Look, will you get off? Me and Fireman Sam have got this organised.

0:35:56 > 0:35:59Aww, look at you two getting on in there.

0:35:59 > 0:36:01I can't believe you're going to all this effort for me.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03SHIRLEY AND JOHNNY CHUCKLE

0:36:05 > 0:36:09So, um, does anybody actually know what we're going to do for food?

0:36:09 > 0:36:12Yep. Mate of mine hires out chocolate fountains.

0:36:12 > 0:36:15- Says he can have one here by six. - Boom. Nice one.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17Know what I'm going to do?

0:36:17 > 0:36:19I'm going to phone Whit, tell her to get a cake.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21No, you won't. I don't want any fuss.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24Come on. It's your birthday. You're only 29 once.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26Unless you're Kat - she was 29 until she was 40.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28It's a nice thought but let's get Mummy settled. Yeah?

0:36:28 > 0:36:30We're back!

0:36:30 > 0:36:34- There you are. You all right? - All right?- Yeah.- All right, Mum?

0:36:34 > 0:36:36- Happy birthday, darling.- Thank you.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41- What's all this?- We wanted to make it all cosy for you.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43You don't want to listen to him snoring all night.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45- I don't snore!- So I've got to sleep down here, have I?

0:36:45 > 0:36:48The girls want to make sure you take it easy from now on.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51Kat's on the stall so I'll be here. You won't have to lift a finger.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54Yeah, I spoke to Martin last night. All right? Told him everything.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57We're going to go and see the gene person next week

0:36:57 > 0:36:59so you haven't got to worry. All right?

0:36:59 > 0:37:01I'm going to go to work. I'll see you later.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07Hiya. Just really quickly, I'm just...

0:37:07 > 0:37:10- I'll keep you posted. - OK. Cheers, mate.

0:37:13 > 0:37:15What did he want?

0:37:15 > 0:37:19Danny Pennant's alibi's checked out. He's been in Marbella for weeks.

0:37:19 > 0:37:20Just that and some other stuff.

0:37:20 > 0:37:22I'm going to go get some air.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25- Hang on...- Peter, I am 45. OK?

0:37:25 > 0:37:28If I want to leave the house on my own, I can. I'll see you later.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35- I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come... - It's not you.

0:37:35 > 0:37:38He won't talk to me or Denise.

0:37:38 > 0:37:40He wouldn't even let us open the curtains yesterday.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43I wouldn't normally barge in, it's just I've had clients

0:37:43 > 0:37:46ringing me all morning and I can't find the contact list anywhere.

0:37:46 > 0:37:49I just thought Lucy might've had one.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51You're starting the business back up?

0:37:51 > 0:37:55Listen, I'm going to go. There must be a contact list somewhere.

0:37:55 > 0:38:01Does it help? Going back to work? Getting out there again?

0:38:01 > 0:38:03I dunno.

0:38:03 > 0:38:04I hope so.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16Right. I'll take your chocolate fountain and I'll raise it.

0:38:16 > 0:38:19- There's only one thing Tina loves more than a party.- Oh, no.

0:38:19 > 0:38:23You've not got a troupe of clowns and a bouncy castle coming, have ya?

0:38:23 > 0:38:24A theme party.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27She was born in the '70s, let's celebrate like it's the '70s.

0:38:27 > 0:38:31You're in luck, John, there's about four of the Village People in here.

0:38:31 > 0:38:33That's not really my thing. But this...

0:38:35 > 0:38:37THEY LAUGH

0:38:37 > 0:38:40Well, this is really classy, well done(!)

0:38:40 > 0:38:41What? Tina's going to love this!

0:38:41 > 0:38:45Yeah, she don't like all that snooty food.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47They're called canapes!

0:38:47 > 0:38:49She likes booze, she likes fun,

0:38:49 > 0:38:52and she likes to celebrate with all her family round her.

0:38:52 > 0:38:56Yeah, well, like it or not, I'm part of Tina's family now too.

0:38:56 > 0:38:58SHIRLEY SCOFFS

0:38:58 > 0:39:00So bring on the disco.

0:39:03 > 0:39:05DOOR OPENS

0:39:09 > 0:39:10All right, Lauren?

0:39:10 > 0:39:12You haven't seen a set of car keys lying about, have you?

0:39:12 > 0:39:15Dad, I've got my own business to worry about.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21There's an e-mail here from a bloke

0:39:21 > 0:39:24talking about the Walford Common flats.

0:39:24 > 0:39:29I was meant to go and meet him on Good Friday but I never made it.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31Yeah, so what?

0:39:31 > 0:39:35Well, this e-mail says he's there, and he's asking where I am.

0:39:38 > 0:39:42So what if Lucy saw this and she replied to it instead?

0:39:42 > 0:39:46Yeah. And what if she didn't? You're only guessing.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49Surely I need to go to the police about this?

0:39:49 > 0:39:52I mean, this John Jones bloke could've been the last

0:39:52 > 0:39:53person to see Lucy alive.

0:39:53 > 0:39:56The police must have been all through her e-mails.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58They're probably right across that.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00Yeah, but what if they're not?

0:40:21 > 0:40:22SHE COUGHS

0:40:37 > 0:40:41CORA: What am I supposed to do, magic the dosh out of thin air?

0:40:41 > 0:40:43Course I still want it.

0:40:43 > 0:40:47I'm not going to bunk down in a cardboard box, am I?

0:40:47 > 0:40:50Isn't that a blooming shame?

0:40:50 > 0:40:54A beautiful girl like you with a face like a day-old kipper.

0:40:54 > 0:40:58Hasn't anyone ever told you it's rude to listen in on other

0:40:58 > 0:41:00people's conversations?

0:41:00 > 0:41:03Don't be like that. I thought me and you hit it off.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06Yeah? Well, you thought wrong.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10Look, I know you're busy. I just want to have a quick word.

0:41:10 > 0:41:11I already gave your pitch away.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14What, to some stranger who doesn't even know the market?

0:41:14 > 0:41:17How do you think that's going to go down with the punters?

0:41:17 > 0:41:20Look, Peter, I know you're going through a tough time

0:41:20 > 0:41:22but this is business.

0:41:22 > 0:41:26Look, I'll give you an extra tenner in pitch fees

0:41:26 > 0:41:28if you kick them off and take me back.

0:41:30 > 0:41:31A bribe?

0:41:31 > 0:41:34It's not a bribe. Just business.

0:41:39 > 0:41:43You can start tomorrow morning. Just don't make me regret this, yeah?

0:41:45 > 0:41:47INDISTINCT SPEECH

0:41:49 > 0:41:53- Hey. How about some lunch up the West End?- Eh?

0:41:53 > 0:41:56Mum, you can't go out, you're not well.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58I can do whatever I choose, thank you, Bianca.

0:41:58 > 0:42:01Are you going to get your coat or what?

0:42:12 > 0:42:14Excuse me.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17I'm Lauren Branning. Lucy Beale's business partner?

0:42:17 > 0:42:18Right, of course.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21I think I might've found something that could be useful.

0:42:21 > 0:42:22It's an e-mail.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26There's a chance that Lucy might've been meeting

0:42:26 > 0:42:28a client before she went missing.

0:42:28 > 0:42:31We've already been through all of Lucy's correspondence, don't worry.

0:42:31 > 0:42:34I know, but this one was addressed to me, not her.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37I might know this bloke, I could help you.

0:42:37 > 0:42:41Well, how about I send one of my officers round tomorrow?

0:42:41 > 0:42:43And you can make sure we get everything down.

0:42:43 > 0:42:47I'm telling you that I might know who saw Lucy last.

0:42:49 > 0:42:52What, do you know about this e-mail already?

0:42:53 > 0:42:55Why aren't you saying nothing?

0:42:55 > 0:42:58I promise you we follow up every lead we get,

0:42:58 > 0:43:00you just have to leave it to us.

0:43:00 > 0:43:03Thanks for coming in. You did the right thing.

0:43:04 > 0:43:07What if this bloke done something to her?

0:43:07 > 0:43:10What if this is the bloke you're looking for?

0:43:24 > 0:43:26Are you going to get in the car or what?

0:43:26 > 0:43:27Or do I need to head for the bus stop?

0:43:27 > 0:43:30No. Not until you tell me what this is all about.

0:43:30 > 0:43:32This is about me having choice.

0:43:32 > 0:43:34I can be the old lady with the rug on my lap

0:43:34 > 0:43:36watching you flirt with nurses...

0:43:36 > 0:43:38Oh, come on, Carol. That was banter, weren't it?

0:43:38 > 0:43:42..or I can do what I can, when I can for as long as I can.

0:43:42 > 0:43:46I don't want to be a victim, David. I want to be the person that I am.

0:43:50 > 0:43:54Come on then. Any fancy restaurant in particular?

0:43:54 > 0:43:56I take it I'm paying.

0:43:56 > 0:43:59It doesn't matter. And we'll eat after.

0:43:59 > 0:44:01After what, dare I ask?

0:44:01 > 0:44:04After you put this ring on my finger and take me

0:44:04 > 0:44:06down the registry office.

0:44:07 > 0:44:10The mood you're in, I'm not about to say no, am I?

0:44:12 > 0:44:14Come on.

0:44:50 > 0:44:54Cora Cross, what do you think you're doing?

0:44:57 > 0:44:59Nance, listen...

0:45:01 > 0:45:04- SHE LAUGHS - Whoa!

0:45:04 > 0:45:08I genuinely don't know what to say about that.

0:45:08 > 0:45:11Look. Listen, earlier on in the cafe, I didn't mean to...

0:45:11 > 0:45:13Nah! Look, I'm going to go and change the barrel.

0:45:13 > 0:45:16You go in there and get yourself a drink on me.

0:45:21 > 0:45:24I'm proud of you. Telling Martin. Can't have been easy.

0:45:24 > 0:45:29No. What with that and Mum, it's not been the best birthday ever.

0:45:29 > 0:45:32- Bianca!- They ain't going to miss it, are they? Come on.

0:45:32 > 0:45:35Oi. Mitts off my birthday balloons.

0:45:35 > 0:45:36It's Sonia's birthday and all.

0:45:36 > 0:45:39We haven't had time to do anything cos of our mum.

0:45:39 > 0:45:41It's your birthday today? Seriously?!

0:45:41 > 0:45:43It's like we're twins or something!

0:45:43 > 0:45:46- I'm a little bit younger than you. - You had to go and ruin it.

0:45:46 > 0:45:49Listen, Tina, sorry, I know I've got a bit of a big mouth and that.

0:45:49 > 0:45:51But I only do it to protect my family.

0:45:51 > 0:45:53Is that an apology?

0:45:53 > 0:45:57Oh, come on, B, let's go. Sorry. And happy birthday.

0:45:57 > 0:45:58Buy me a drink.

0:45:58 > 0:46:02If you really want to apologise, come inside and buy me a drink.

0:46:04 > 0:46:06Come on, it's your birthday.

0:46:08 > 0:46:10INDISTINCT CHATTER, LAUGHTER

0:46:22 > 0:46:24The coins keep getting jammed.

0:46:24 > 0:46:26I was trying to help them get through.

0:46:31 > 0:46:35Get hold of Charlie? Feed him a line to come round, did ya?

0:46:35 > 0:46:38Just a little white lie, that's all.

0:46:39 > 0:46:40You don't have to tell me.

0:46:42 > 0:46:46We do whatever we have to, to keep those we love close.

0:46:49 > 0:46:51If it was all just a misunderstanding

0:46:51 > 0:46:53then we'll say no more about it.

0:46:53 > 0:46:57I shall take my gloves and I shall go home.

0:46:57 > 0:47:00Though from now on, I shall be counting every penny

0:47:00 > 0:47:02what comes over this threshold.

0:47:02 > 0:47:06Just to keep us both on the straight and narrow.

0:47:08 > 0:47:10Thank you, Dot.

0:47:19 > 0:47:22I think Lucy met a client the night she died.

0:47:22 > 0:47:23I mean, I've just been to the police about it

0:47:23 > 0:47:26but they didn't really seem that interested.

0:47:26 > 0:47:29Actually, they've already questioned him. Holt told us before.

0:47:31 > 0:47:33Did they say who it was?

0:47:33 > 0:47:35No, and I couldn't tell you even if they did.

0:47:35 > 0:47:37The police are handling it.

0:47:37 > 0:47:41Is that not bothering you? I mean, I could know this person.

0:47:41 > 0:47:44I might be able to help them find out who did this.

0:47:44 > 0:47:48The police found this man before we even knew he existed.

0:47:48 > 0:47:50Just let them do their job.

0:47:50 > 0:47:52Well, it doesn't look like they're doing much to me.

0:47:52 > 0:47:55RUSTLING, FOOTSTEPS

0:47:55 > 0:47:58Oi, this is private property, you know!

0:48:00 > 0:48:02HE GRUNTS

0:48:02 > 0:48:04Nance! Are you taking the...?!

0:48:04 > 0:48:06What, again?!

0:48:06 > 0:48:08SHE LAUGHS

0:48:08 > 0:48:10INDISTINCT CHATTER

0:48:10 > 0:48:13Quiet down, quiet down! Sh, she's coming.

0:48:13 > 0:48:15- Johnny...- No peeking.

0:48:15 > 0:48:18SHE SQUEALS

0:48:18 > 0:48:21- Ready?- Yeah.- And...ta-da!

0:48:21 > 0:48:23CROWD CHEER

0:48:24 > 0:48:27You lot look wicked! Dunno what this theme is though.

0:48:27 > 0:48:30I'm a child of the '80s, aren't I? THEY LAUGH

0:48:30 > 0:48:31Happy birthday, Teen.

0:48:31 > 0:48:33Shirley! Health and safety!

0:48:33 > 0:48:35You trying to get us shut down or what?!

0:48:35 > 0:48:37Oh, don't take the cherry!

0:48:37 > 0:48:41Ladies and gentlemen, charge your glasses to my beautiful Tina Carter.

0:48:41 > 0:48:46- Here is to the next 40 years... - 30!- 30 years. All right.

0:48:46 > 0:48:48- Tina!- And listen, hold up.

0:48:48 > 0:48:51Ladies and gentlemen, do yourselves a favour - blame it on the boogie!

0:48:51 > 0:48:54MUSIC: "Blame It On The Boogie" by Jackson 5

0:49:00 > 0:49:02I know how you feel.

0:49:02 > 0:49:05These parties always have this way of making me

0:49:05 > 0:49:07want to lay down in a dark room.

0:49:14 > 0:49:18- Here y'are.- Another glass of wine would've done me.

0:49:18 > 0:49:21You're in the last year of your 20s, you want to cheer up a little bit.

0:49:21 > 0:49:23- What is in this, rocket fuel?! - Oh, Sonia.

0:49:23 > 0:49:25It's strong, innit?

0:49:31 > 0:49:35Oi! I saw that!

0:49:35 > 0:49:36What you on about, you mad cow?

0:49:36 > 0:49:38She's been trying to sabotage me all day.

0:49:38 > 0:49:40Yeah, and you've been getting on my wick.

0:49:40 > 0:49:41You just can't stand it.

0:49:41 > 0:49:44You can't stand the fact that you're not the most important

0:49:44 > 0:49:46- woman in Tina's life any more. - Is that right?

0:49:46 > 0:49:48Will you both just shut up?!

0:49:48 > 0:49:51I'd rather have no party at all than watch the two of you

0:49:51 > 0:49:52knocking lumps out of each other.

0:49:53 > 0:49:55You all right, girl?

0:49:55 > 0:49:56Let me go, eh?

0:50:11 > 0:50:14It's not my fault you've got a glass jaw, is it?

0:50:14 > 0:50:18Look, if you don't like me, you don't like me, innit?

0:50:18 > 0:50:21Just tell me. You ain't got to keep hitting me to make your point.

0:50:23 > 0:50:27All right. I don't know if I like you or not.

0:50:27 > 0:50:30I haven't really thought about it.

0:50:30 > 0:50:32And to be honest, I don't really want to.

0:50:33 > 0:50:37- Me and Wayne used to be proper friends.- Yeah.

0:50:39 > 0:50:40And now obviously we're not.

0:50:40 > 0:50:43And it was exactly the same with my boyfriend before that

0:50:43 > 0:50:46- and my boyfriend before that. - All right. So what?

0:50:46 > 0:50:49Can we not just stay as we are?

0:50:50 > 0:50:54Yeah, course we can. If that's what you want.

0:51:02 > 0:51:04That's just so you know what you're missing out on.

0:51:07 > 0:51:09Right, I'm going to go and get changed

0:51:09 > 0:51:11so I'm not the only one who looks like a doughnut.

0:51:17 > 0:51:18Oi, birthday twin!

0:51:19 > 0:51:22They're never going to get on, are they?

0:51:22 > 0:51:26Probably not. But they both love you to pieces.

0:51:26 > 0:51:28They wouldn't be fighting otherwise.

0:51:32 > 0:51:34Well, go on, then.

0:51:34 > 0:51:38You know why I'm not in the birthday spirit. What about you?

0:51:38 > 0:51:41Nothing. You concentrate on yourself.

0:51:41 > 0:51:45You always say that. About me, about your mum.

0:51:45 > 0:51:46Go on, what about you?

0:51:49 > 0:51:54I went home last night to tell Martin about the cancer gene.

0:51:54 > 0:51:57But all I kept thinking was...

0:51:57 > 0:52:01he'll leave me, he don't love me enough.

0:52:01 > 0:52:04So I went to bed without saying anything

0:52:04 > 0:52:07and then I lied to Bianca and Mum about it.

0:52:11 > 0:52:14- What about seeing the geneti...? - Geneticist?

0:52:14 > 0:52:17I really can't think about all that any more.

0:52:17 > 0:52:21There's a good chance I could be healthy my whole life.

0:52:21 > 0:52:24And cancer doesn't mean much at Rebecca's age.

0:52:25 > 0:52:27Her mum and dad splitting up will.

0:52:29 > 0:52:32Why didn't you say any of this?

0:52:32 > 0:52:34I wouldn't have gone on about my problems if I'd known.

0:52:34 > 0:52:39You've got two people in there who'd do anything for you.

0:52:39 > 0:52:44They'll stand by you through thick and thin.

0:52:44 > 0:52:47Yeah? From where I'm sitting, that ain't half bad, is it?

0:52:57 > 0:52:58Ian?

0:53:01 > 0:53:02Are you all right?

0:53:05 > 0:53:07You look freezing.

0:53:11 > 0:53:12Denise and Peter keep calling.

0:53:15 > 0:53:16I should go home but...

0:53:18 > 0:53:19..I can't face it.

0:53:22 > 0:53:24I really miss her.

0:53:28 > 0:53:32You know what, she had 60 more years in front of her.

0:53:34 > 0:53:35Why not me?

0:53:38 > 0:53:40Why not someone who's had a life?

0:53:42 > 0:53:43I don't know.

0:53:46 > 0:53:51The police keep coming round. "Keeping us informed."

0:53:51 > 0:53:54I just wish they'd admit they're looking for a needle in a haystack.

0:53:57 > 0:54:00They'll find him, they'll have to. Won't they?

0:54:00 > 0:54:05I mean, all it could take is just one little piece of information

0:54:05 > 0:54:07and that'll be that.

0:54:09 > 0:54:14MUSIC: "You Should Be Dancing" by Bee Gees

0:54:21 > 0:54:23I see your face-ache hasn't subsided.

0:54:23 > 0:54:27Stay out of my business and have a bath.

0:54:27 > 0:54:32I gather it's money problems, judging by that phone call recently.

0:54:33 > 0:54:35Are you hard of hearing?

0:54:35 > 0:54:39We could buddy up, you know? For a reasonable interest, of course.

0:54:41 > 0:54:44- If you're pulling my leg... - Two things I never joke about.

0:54:44 > 0:54:47Money, and helping out a beautiful lady.

0:54:47 > 0:54:51In that case, you'd better get the drinks in.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53I'll have a gin.

0:54:53 > 0:54:55- Oh... - HE LAUGHS

0:54:57 > 0:54:59Right. I'll leave you to it.

0:54:59 > 0:55:01Come on, you. We're off.

0:55:02 > 0:55:04Where've you been, you dozy mare?

0:55:04 > 0:55:07I can't keep getting pulled between the two of you. OK?

0:55:07 > 0:55:12And I'll have gone nuts long before either of you decide to give it up.

0:55:12 > 0:55:17- So...I've decided I think it's best if I move in with Tosh.- Yes!

0:55:17 > 0:55:19Give us a bit of breathing space.

0:55:19 > 0:55:21Has that tequila pickled your brain?

0:55:21 > 0:55:23We can't be Bill and Ben for ever.

0:55:24 > 0:55:26If that's all right with you?

0:55:29 > 0:55:33But in the meantime, I need you to understand that this lot are my

0:55:33 > 0:55:37family and I'm not going to stop hanging round here like a bad smell.

0:55:37 > 0:55:40I love you both, right? It's no competition.

0:55:40 > 0:55:43Tina. Me and her are never going to get on.

0:55:43 > 0:55:45Finally something we agree on.

0:55:47 > 0:55:50Aww, I love it when everyone's friends.

0:56:26 > 0:56:29- DAVID:- They're here, they're here, they're here...

0:56:29 > 0:56:31DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

0:56:31 > 0:56:33- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday, Sonia.

0:56:33 > 0:56:35- Sorry it isn't much.- Oh, it's lovely.

0:56:35 > 0:56:39- Happy birthday, Son. - Thank you, David.- There you are.

0:56:39 > 0:56:40Make a wish.

0:56:41 > 0:56:43What did you wish for?

0:56:46 > 0:56:48Well, we've got some news. Ain't we?

0:56:48 > 0:56:51Yeah. We went down the registry office today...

0:56:51 > 0:56:53Eloping, at your age!

0:56:53 > 0:56:58No, we've booked a date. 27th May. Put it in your diaries.

0:56:58 > 0:57:03Yeah. About time we had something to celebrate round here, isn't it?

0:57:03 > 0:57:05Come on, let's get this cake cut.

0:57:20 > 0:57:21You all right, Pete?

0:57:21 > 0:57:24Listen, anything you need today, mate, you just let me know, yeah?

0:57:24 > 0:57:26All right.

0:57:36 > 0:57:38Peter, you don't have to do this, you know.

0:57:38 > 0:57:40I don't want to think about that rubbish in the papers.

0:57:40 > 0:57:43I just want to try and get back to normal.

0:57:43 > 0:57:46All right. Well, maybe I could help you cos Pops has got Lexi for a bit.

0:57:46 > 0:57:48I need to do this on my own.

0:57:48 > 0:57:50- No, but I could just...- Please.

0:57:50 > 0:57:51Are you sure?

0:57:51 > 0:57:53Yeah. I'll be fine.

0:58:10 > 0:58:12Morning, Lauren.

0:58:13 > 0:58:16Blimey, you starting work before me?

0:58:16 > 0:58:18Got to be something wrong in this world, ain't there?

0:58:18 > 0:58:20Well, I've got a business to run, Dad,

0:58:20 > 0:58:23and I've got a lot of e-mails to get through.

0:58:35 > 0:58:37Are you sure you're up to this, Lauren?

0:58:37 > 0:58:41I mean, you shouldn't push yourself too hard.

0:58:41 > 0:58:44I'm fine. I can do this.

0:58:56 > 0:58:57What time's your appointment?

0:58:57 > 0:59:01It ain't my appointment, No, it's Jim's.

0:59:01 > 0:59:03You see, they thought he was having a fit,

0:59:03 > 0:59:06but it turned out he was choking on a bit of sausage.

0:59:06 > 0:59:07I thought you said it was urgent.

0:59:07 > 0:59:09Well, it could be - I mean,

0:59:09 > 0:59:13I know a man who died choking on a bit of sausage.

0:59:13 > 0:59:15I've just done a night shift. I was hoping to get some kip.

0:59:15 > 0:59:18Oh. Would you like another cup of coffee?

0:59:18 > 0:59:20Mrs B, I can take you, if you want.

0:59:20 > 0:59:22Oh, that's ever so kind of you, Arthur,

0:59:22 > 0:59:24but I want Jim to meet Charlie.

0:59:24 > 0:59:27He's ever so looking forward to it.

0:59:27 > 0:59:28Ah.

0:59:28 > 0:59:32Now, I had these cut, so you can pop in and out whenever you want.

0:59:34 > 0:59:36That's really kind.

0:59:36 > 0:59:40Ah, well, you're family, ain't you? My home's your home.

0:59:43 > 0:59:47Eurgh. They're all just horrible. They're making me feel a bit sick.

0:59:47 > 0:59:49I like them. This one's my favourite.

0:59:51 > 0:59:53Yeah, you should get that one.

0:59:53 > 0:59:55We're just nipping down the registry office.

0:59:55 > 0:59:57Yeah, no, that would suit you lovely, Carol.

0:59:57 > 0:59:59Yeah, go for it, Mum - it's your wedding,

0:59:59 > 1:00:02- you don't want to look like a frump, do you?- Cheers!

1:00:02 > 1:00:04Oh, here you are. Look.

1:00:05 > 1:00:07Right, I've got to go.

1:00:07 > 1:00:11And I expect you to have ordered that dress by the time I come back.

1:00:11 > 1:00:13Yeah, well, you won't be laughing when I get married in it.

1:00:13 > 1:00:15Ta-ta. See you, kids.

1:00:15 > 1:00:16Bye.

1:00:16 > 1:00:18Bye. Is that a wedding present?

1:00:18 > 1:00:20No, love.

1:00:20 > 1:00:22It's my wigs.

1:00:22 > 1:00:23Can I try it on?

1:00:23 > 1:00:25No!

1:00:25 > 1:00:26Come on, then, get it out.

1:00:26 > 1:00:29- I forgot which one that you decided to go for.- No. Later.

1:00:37 > 1:00:40Here, have some Latvian bread - it's the best, man.

1:00:40 > 1:00:42- Smell it. Smell it. - I think I'll pass.

1:00:43 > 1:00:44Your loss.

1:00:51 > 1:00:54Who drank all my beer?

1:00:54 > 1:00:55It was you, wasn't it?

1:00:55 > 1:00:58Hang on, I haven't touched a drop, I swear.

1:00:58 > 1:01:00You're lying.

1:01:01 > 1:01:03It was me.

1:01:03 > 1:01:04Really?

1:01:04 > 1:01:07Yeah, I came home drunk last night.

1:01:07 > 1:01:11I can't be held accountable for my actions. I'm sorry.

1:01:11 > 1:01:13Yeah, well, I don't really care which one of you did it,

1:01:13 > 1:01:15as long as it's replaced.

1:01:15 > 1:01:16Yes, sir.

1:01:16 > 1:01:18Morning, housemates!

1:01:18 > 1:01:21Welcome to your new home.

1:01:23 > 1:01:26Let's go out for a drink later - first house trip to the Vic!

1:01:26 > 1:01:30I actually promised to take Roxy out.

1:01:30 > 1:01:33That's all right. The more the merrier! I'm going to unpack!

1:01:33 > 1:01:35Yeah, I better jump in the shower.

1:01:41 > 1:01:42You didn't have to do that.

1:01:45 > 1:01:47You're going through a tough time.

1:01:49 > 1:01:52It must be horrible to be that far away from your kid.

1:01:52 > 1:01:55Yeah. Well, it won't happen again, I promise.

1:02:00 > 1:02:03Not one new job in weeks.

1:02:03 > 1:02:06We can't live off the flower stall.

1:02:06 > 1:02:09We always knew business would take a bit of time to pick up.

1:02:09 > 1:02:14But how long are we meant to give it before we cut our losses, Les?

1:02:14 > 1:02:17At this rate, all our Paul's going to inherit is a couple of coffins

1:02:17 > 1:02:20to bury us in - and the cheap ones at that.

1:02:20 > 1:02:23Don't worry, Birdie, I'll sort it.

1:02:28 > 1:02:30Your head's too fat.

1:02:30 > 1:02:32No, it's not! Just squash my hair in.

1:02:32 > 1:02:33It still won't fit!

1:02:33 > 1:02:36- I could cut some of your hair off. - Yeah!

1:02:36 > 1:02:39Oi, you'll do no such thing - there's no use us all being bald!

1:02:39 > 1:02:41We were just playing.

1:02:41 > 1:02:42Come on, you...

1:02:42 > 1:02:44What do you think you're doing?!

1:02:45 > 1:02:47You said that I couldn't try it on,

1:02:47 > 1:02:50but you didn't say nothing about Morgan.

1:02:50 > 1:02:52I am so sorry, Mum.

1:02:52 > 1:02:56I hope it looks better on me than it does on you, eh? Go on.

1:03:00 > 1:03:03- 20p's 20p!- Yeah, cheers. You dropped your quid.

1:03:03 > 1:03:06- You can keep it.- Yeah, I'll keep it, mate! Get lost!

1:03:08 > 1:03:10All right?

1:03:10 > 1:03:12What was all that about?

1:03:12 > 1:03:13I just...

1:03:13 > 1:03:16I short-changed him, yeah? I didn't mean to and he just went off on one.

1:03:16 > 1:03:18OK, listen, I wouldn't worry about it.

1:03:18 > 1:03:20It's first thing in the morning. People are grumpy.

1:03:20 > 1:03:22It was just an innocent mistake.

1:03:22 > 1:03:24I don't see why he had to have a go at me like that.

1:03:24 > 1:03:28Listen, Peter, I know it's your first day back today and seriously,

1:03:28 > 1:03:31everyone's really proud of you, all right?

1:03:32 > 1:03:34Anyway, cup of tea for you.

1:03:34 > 1:03:36First brew of the day - it'll set you right up.

1:03:36 > 1:03:40Thanks, mate, but I don't need you to look after me.

1:03:40 > 1:03:43I just want today to be like any other day, but people keep

1:03:43 > 1:03:48walking on egg shells around me asking me if I'm all right.

1:03:48 > 1:03:52Can you just be normal, please?

1:03:52 > 1:03:54I understand, mate.

1:03:55 > 1:03:57Anyway, you've probably noticed

1:03:57 > 1:03:59there have been a few changes around here of late.

1:03:59 > 1:04:02So, I'm going to give you the heads-up, so pay attention, right?

1:04:02 > 1:04:04The girl in the wheels, that's Donna, bit of a gobby mare -

1:04:04 > 1:04:06imagine Kat and Bianca rolled into one.

1:04:06 > 1:04:08Exactly - it's the stuff of nightmares.

1:04:08 > 1:04:10And the lady on the flower stall, lovely lady, Pam -

1:04:10 > 1:04:13she's got a heart of gold, but I mean, she can talk for Britain.

1:04:13 > 1:04:15Seriously, you will not get a sore throat in her company.

1:04:15 > 1:04:17All day. All day.

1:04:17 > 1:04:19- Who's that?- I have no idea.

1:04:19 > 1:04:22All right, buddy? How you doing, yeah?

1:04:23 > 1:04:26I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know everyone.

1:04:26 > 1:04:28The market's so different, you know...

1:04:28 > 1:04:31Listen, you'll get used to it. Listen, enjoy the tea.

1:04:31 > 1:04:32I might get you a biscuit later.

1:04:32 > 1:04:35Yes, mate, what can I get you?

1:04:36 > 1:04:37Lauren!

1:04:39 > 1:04:41I forgot you were back on the stall.

1:04:41 > 1:04:43Yeah, bit strange, you know...

1:04:43 > 1:04:45but I'd rather be here than back at home.

1:04:45 > 1:04:47That's great, Peter.

1:04:47 > 1:04:48Are you OK?

1:04:48 > 1:04:51Yeah, I just need to get back, cos, you know,

1:04:51 > 1:04:53I've got work stuff.

1:04:53 > 1:04:56Well, if you need help with anything...

1:04:56 > 1:04:58You've got enough on your plate.

1:05:03 > 1:05:04What are you doing?

1:05:04 > 1:05:07Unpacking. What does it look like?

1:05:17 > 1:05:21So this is what happens when I take the morning off!

1:05:21 > 1:05:23Checking up on me, are you?

1:05:23 > 1:05:26I have come in to collect the account book,

1:05:26 > 1:05:28cos of what happened yesterday.

1:05:29 > 1:05:32I should chuck you out on your ear.

1:05:32 > 1:05:34I was just resting me eyes.

1:05:35 > 1:05:37Where are you off to?

1:05:37 > 1:05:38Just going for a fag.

1:05:41 > 1:05:45I can't seem to get this to work.

1:05:45 > 1:05:48Right. Hold on.

1:05:48 > 1:05:50Stand clear.

1:05:53 > 1:05:54I haven't had a single customer

1:05:54 > 1:05:58since I short-changed that bloke - d'you think people are avoiding me?

1:05:58 > 1:06:01Nah, no, it's just one of them new guys from Spring Lane -

1:06:01 > 1:06:03you know, selling those £1 fruit bowls.

1:06:03 > 1:06:07- So you don't think it's got anything to do with Lucy? - No, course I don't.

1:06:07 > 1:06:09What you need is a unique selling point - for the Pete Beale brand!

1:06:09 > 1:06:11- Ain't that right?- Yeah.

1:06:11 > 1:06:13Martin used to sell juice on his stall, it used to do really well.

1:06:13 > 1:06:16There we go. That's a blinding idea! That's what you need to do,

1:06:16 > 1:06:19get yourself a juicer on your stall, get yourself surrounded by a load of

1:06:19 > 1:06:22gorgeous birds, dying to part with their hard-earned cash.

1:06:22 > 1:06:24All right, mate, I'm sure that'll happen(!)

1:06:24 > 1:06:26Worth a punt though, innit? If you want to take a breather,

1:06:26 > 1:06:28I can keep an eye on your stall for you, yeah?

1:06:28 > 1:06:31I thought I told you, you don't need to look after me.

1:06:31 > 1:06:34Yeah, I know, but just let me be a friend, yeah?

1:06:35 > 1:06:36All right.

1:06:38 > 1:06:42Sorry to bother you on your day off. You been up to anything nice?

1:06:42 > 1:06:45I've gone out with my grandson for the day - he's just parking the car.

1:06:45 > 1:06:48Oh, how lovely! I'm so jealous.

1:06:48 > 1:06:54My grandson Paul is off travelling the world on his gap year.

1:06:54 > 1:06:56I do miss him so much.

1:06:56 > 1:06:57Oh, there you are.

1:06:57 > 1:07:00Here he is. This is my grandson. He's called Charlie.

1:07:00 > 1:07:01Pam - pleasure to meet you.

1:07:01 > 1:07:04Hiya. Listen, I'm going to have to head off in a minute -

1:07:04 > 1:07:06I should get some kip before the night shift.

1:07:06 > 1:07:07Can't you stop for something to eat?

1:07:07 > 1:07:10I wanted to show you my photo album.

1:07:10 > 1:07:14Sure. Right, come on, let's get some lunch.

1:07:14 > 1:07:15Bye-bye.

1:07:15 > 1:07:17Nice to meet you.

1:07:18 > 1:07:21Honestly, Pops, you should have seen him.

1:07:21 > 1:07:23I keep trying to help him but he won't let me.

1:07:23 > 1:07:26Breaks my heart seeing him like that.

1:07:26 > 1:07:29You've got to be patient, Lo - Peter's a strong boy,

1:07:29 > 1:07:30he'll get through this.

1:07:30 > 1:07:32Yeah, and what am I going to do until then?

1:07:32 > 1:07:33Just watch him be miserable?

1:07:33 > 1:07:34No.

1:07:35 > 1:07:40All you can do is be there for him. He'll come to you when he's ready.

1:07:40 > 1:07:42Trust me.

1:07:44 > 1:07:46I do like being able to pop home for lunch -

1:07:46 > 1:07:48think of all the money we'll save.

1:07:48 > 1:07:50I went to do our washing earlier,

1:07:50 > 1:07:51and you'll never guess who I bumped into.

1:07:51 > 1:07:53I don't know, Pam.

1:07:53 > 1:07:56Dorothy Branning, and her gorgeous grandson -

1:07:56 > 1:07:59I've completely forgotten his name now.

1:07:59 > 1:08:00Charlie.

1:08:00 > 1:08:05That's the one - charming young man, spending the day with his nan -

1:08:05 > 1:08:07you don't often see that in this day and age.

1:08:07 > 1:08:10So is he sticking around Walford for a while?

1:08:10 > 1:08:14I don't know - they were just heading back to Dorothy's for lunch.

1:08:20 > 1:08:22Tina!

1:08:23 > 1:08:27Would you mind keeping a couple of things at the Vic?

1:08:27 > 1:08:28It's just our room's a bit cramped.

1:08:28 > 1:08:30Why is your stuff more important than mine?

1:08:30 > 1:08:33Well, my stuff's all essential, like the bed, and the wardrobe.

1:08:33 > 1:08:37Well, these are essential! What am I supposed to wear to a fancy-dress party?

1:08:37 > 1:08:39Babe, you're 40 years old.

1:08:39 > 1:08:42I ain't taking any of that stuff back,

1:08:42 > 1:08:44so you'll just have to find room for it.

1:08:44 > 1:08:48- What's the point? You'll just leave it all over the floor.- It's all coming out now, eh?

1:08:48 > 1:08:51- I forgot you were such a control freak. - I forgot you were such a slob.

1:08:51 > 1:08:53Ooh, having a spot of trouble?

1:08:53 > 1:08:56- No, we're fine.- Couldn't be better.

1:08:56 > 1:09:00That's the type of thing people say when they're going to top themselves.

1:09:00 > 1:09:03I'm just going to go back and get some more stuff -

1:09:03 > 1:09:04I'll see you back at the flat.

1:09:04 > 1:09:07I didn't even have to lift a finger.

1:09:07 > 1:09:11All I had to do was sit back and watch you screw everything up again.

1:09:11 > 1:09:13Back off, beast.

1:09:14 > 1:09:18You and Tina playing happy families was never going to work.

1:09:18 > 1:09:20She'll be back in the Vic by Monday.

1:09:41 > 1:09:43How's work going?

1:09:43 > 1:09:47All right, it's just a lot to get my head around.

1:09:47 > 1:09:49Are you still worrying about that e-mail?

1:09:49 > 1:09:53No. Well, yeah, kind of...

1:09:53 > 1:09:54but, you know, it's not a big deal.

1:09:54 > 1:09:57Look, you tried to talk to me about it before

1:09:57 > 1:10:01and I just cut you off - that was really selfish of me.

1:10:01 > 1:10:05Yeah, well, obviously it has been on my mind,

1:10:05 > 1:10:09but, you know, I'm just trying to forget about it.

1:10:09 > 1:10:11Yeah, I know the feeling.

1:10:11 > 1:10:15Why don't we help each other out? Right, I can give you a hand

1:10:15 > 1:10:18with the business, and you can help me test out a new idea.

1:10:20 > 1:10:23- OK.- Yeah? What about tonight?

1:10:25 > 1:10:29Yeah, I just... I'm not really feeling that sociable.

1:10:29 > 1:10:32I'm not feeling that sociable, either!

1:10:32 > 1:10:35We can be unsociable together.

1:10:35 > 1:10:38- Yeah, OK, why not?- Yeah?

1:10:44 > 1:10:46Peter!

1:10:46 > 1:10:48I made you some lunch.

1:10:48 > 1:10:51Thanks, babe, but I've just had something.

1:10:51 > 1:10:52That's all right, take it for later.

1:10:52 > 1:10:55- You're going to get hungry out there.- Honestly, Lola, it's fine.

1:10:55 > 1:10:58OK, how about I cook you some dinner tonight?

1:10:58 > 1:11:01Cos Pops is taking Lexi to Phil's, so we can have some time on our own.

1:11:01 > 1:11:04Actually, I've already made plans.

1:11:04 > 1:11:05Plans? What plans?

1:11:07 > 1:11:11I said I'd meet Alfie in the Vic. We're just going to go through some business ideas.

1:11:11 > 1:11:13Well, that ain't going to take all night, is it?

1:11:13 > 1:11:16I can have your dinner ready on the table when you get in.

1:11:16 > 1:11:20All right, I'll even chuck in a tub of ice cream if you're lucky.

1:11:20 > 1:11:21How can I refuse?

1:11:21 > 1:11:25I'll let you know when I'm heading home, yeah?

1:11:25 > 1:11:26Yeah.

1:11:29 > 1:11:31I just bought us something we can stick in the oven -

1:11:31 > 1:11:32hope you don't mind.

1:11:32 > 1:11:34That's lovely.

1:11:44 > 1:11:46What was that about?

1:11:46 > 1:11:48Dunno.

1:11:48 > 1:11:51Oh, shepherd's pie. Yeah, Mrs B never liked shepherd's pie.

1:11:51 > 1:11:54I think it was to do with that horsemeat thing.

1:11:57 > 1:11:59Is Kat all right by herself on the stall?

1:11:59 > 1:12:01You've not been in all week.

1:12:01 > 1:12:02She's fine.

1:12:02 > 1:12:05Think of all the time she'll have off when she has them babies.

1:12:05 > 1:12:06It's not time off!

1:12:07 > 1:12:09Don't overdo it, eh?

1:12:09 > 1:12:13Don't be so miserable. I won't put a lot on.

1:12:13 > 1:12:17Right, now for the finishing touch -

1:12:17 > 1:12:20little bit of that, and...done.

1:12:20 > 1:12:25- There you go. - Do I look ridiculous?

1:12:25 > 1:12:28No, you look lovely. Dad'll be falling at your feet.

1:12:28 > 1:12:30I wonder if it will stay on when we're...

1:12:30 > 1:12:32Oh, Mum, that's...

1:12:46 > 1:12:50I didn't mean to upset you. I had no idea you didn't like shepherd's pie.

1:12:50 > 1:12:51How was you to know?

1:12:53 > 1:12:56I can't eat salmon now after a bad case of food poisoning.

1:12:56 > 1:12:58No, it was nothing like that.

1:13:01 > 1:13:03It reminds me of your father.

1:13:07 > 1:13:09I miss him, too.

1:13:10 > 1:13:12No, I don't mean that.

1:13:12 > 1:13:18You see, sometimes, your father, he didn't do very Christian things...

1:13:18 > 1:13:19What d'you mean?

1:13:20 > 1:13:22Let's not talk about it.

1:13:22 > 1:13:24What are these - are they ham or cheese?

1:13:24 > 1:13:28Listen, I know my dad wasn't a saint.

1:13:28 > 1:13:30You don't need to protect me from anything. Come on.

1:13:30 > 1:13:32I want to know.

1:13:34 > 1:13:36Well...

1:13:36 > 1:13:39he got hold of some poison...

1:13:40 > 1:13:45That's why I've never been able to face shepherd's pie. Ever since...

1:13:47 > 1:13:50Are you saying that he tried to kill you?

1:13:50 > 1:13:53He couldn't go through with it.

1:13:53 > 1:13:55It had been going on for some time.

1:13:55 > 1:13:59And Charlie and Ethel, they tried to warn me, but I wouldn't listen.

1:14:00 > 1:14:03But he stopped me from eating the last meal.

1:14:06 > 1:14:09So he must have loved me, just a bit.

1:14:10 > 1:14:12I'm so sorry.

1:14:16 > 1:14:21I won't let anything like that happen to you ever again, I promise.

1:14:21 > 1:14:23I might share his blood, but I'm nothing like my dad.

1:14:23 > 1:14:27No, you're nothing like him. You're a good boy.

1:14:27 > 1:14:28You're like Arthur.

1:14:31 > 1:14:34Look, I don't need to be in work for a little bit yet, so why

1:14:34 > 1:14:38don't I make us a proper dinner and we can look through them old photos?

1:14:38 > 1:14:42Oh, I'd like that. But are you sure you've got the time?

1:14:42 > 1:14:44Because you mustn't miss your sleep.

1:14:44 > 1:14:46Don't worry yourself about that.

1:14:46 > 1:14:49It's not going to hurt to stay up for another couple of hours.

1:15:01 > 1:15:03It's ready.

1:15:03 > 1:15:04Great!

1:15:19 > 1:15:20They suit you.

1:15:20 > 1:15:22I know.

1:15:24 > 1:15:28I thought you'd have chucked all this stuff out by now.

1:15:28 > 1:15:30It's not so bad.

1:15:30 > 1:15:33Not if it means I get to see your face every morning.

1:15:35 > 1:15:38Where's the rest of your stuff?

1:15:38 > 1:15:40I decided I probably didn't need the monkey costume

1:15:40 > 1:15:42and the inflatable banana after all.

1:15:49 > 1:15:50You know, there is one place

1:15:50 > 1:15:54I definitely don't mind getting messy...

1:16:00 > 1:16:02Keep 'em on.

1:16:08 > 1:16:10That's actually really nice.

1:16:10 > 1:16:12Yeah? So you think people will buy it?

1:16:12 > 1:16:14Yeah! They're going to love it -

1:16:14 > 1:16:17you'll literally have the biggest queue on the market.

1:16:17 > 1:16:20Thanks for this. Today's been pretty full-on.

1:16:20 > 1:16:23Yeah. But you got through it, though, didn't you?

1:16:23 > 1:16:27Yeah, I did, thanks to Alfie, and you.

1:16:27 > 1:16:29I didn't really do anything.

1:16:29 > 1:16:32You don't have to. You're there for me if I need you.

1:16:32 > 1:16:35I hope you know I'm there for you, too.

1:16:35 > 1:16:39If there's anything you need to talk to me about, just let me know.

1:16:41 > 1:16:42- All right, Lauren? - All right, Max?

1:16:42 > 1:16:44Peter.

1:16:44 > 1:16:48How's work, Lauren, all right? You get through all them e-mails?

1:16:48 > 1:16:51Yeah, pretty much, just got a few more to finish off.

1:16:51 > 1:16:54Actually, I should leave you to it - I'm just going to nip to the loo.

1:16:54 > 1:16:56All right, see you later.

1:16:57 > 1:16:58What's all this?

1:16:58 > 1:17:00Peter's making juice.

1:17:27 > 1:17:29Ah. Hello, Mr Cotton.

1:17:35 > 1:17:39So this is your idea of trying to forget about this e-mail, is it?

1:17:39 > 1:17:43I'm sorry - I just can't get this bloke out of my head.

1:17:43 > 1:17:45You're definitely meeting him?

1:17:45 > 1:17:47I ain't decided yet.

1:17:47 > 1:17:50If this guy was involved, the police would be onto him.

1:17:50 > 1:17:51Yeah, well, what if they're not?

1:17:51 > 1:17:54Lucy was my best mate. I might spot something they've missed.

1:17:54 > 1:17:56You could jeopardise the whole investigation!

1:17:56 > 1:18:00Well, I saw your dad yesterday, all right? And he is a mess.

1:18:00 > 1:18:03He needs closure, Peter - so do you.

1:18:03 > 1:18:06And what if this John Jones does know something?

1:18:06 > 1:18:09What if he's a psychopath?

1:18:09 > 1:18:13We're meeting in a public place. Nothing's going to happen.

1:18:13 > 1:18:17And if you're that concerned, well, you could come with me.

1:18:17 > 1:18:19No, I don't think that's a good idea.

1:18:21 > 1:18:23I'm sorry, I don't get it.

1:18:23 > 1:18:27- I just don't get it - do you not want to know what happened to your sister?- Yeah, of course I do!

1:18:27 > 1:18:29But it's the police who's going to find out who killed Lucy -

1:18:29 > 1:18:32not someone who didn't even finish college.

1:18:32 > 1:18:34Well, at least I'm doing something about it.

1:18:34 > 1:18:38I'm not standing around making poxy juices!

1:18:38 > 1:18:40Nothing you can do is going to bring her back, Lauren!

1:18:40 > 1:18:43Why can't you see that?!

1:18:43 > 1:18:44Everything all right?

1:18:47 > 1:18:50Yeah. Peter was just going.

1:19:05 > 1:19:07What's the problem?

1:19:09 > 1:19:12Nothing. Just leave it, Dad.

1:19:29 > 1:19:31Well, this is a real treat -

1:19:31 > 1:19:33he hardly ever lets me buy biscuits,

1:19:33 > 1:19:35says the sugar goes straight to my head

1:19:35 > 1:19:37and I start talking at 100 miles an hour.

1:19:37 > 1:19:40- Isn't that right, Les?- Yes, Pam.

1:19:40 > 1:19:43Charlie, Mr Coker wants to discuss a few extra expenses

1:19:43 > 1:19:45owing from the funeral.

1:19:45 > 1:19:48Oh, yeah? Why don't we talk about it in the kitchen?

1:19:48 > 1:19:49Good idea.

1:19:54 > 1:19:58You're so lucky to have him nearby.

1:19:58 > 1:20:02Yeah, well, the trouble is that Charlie don't live in Walford -

1:20:02 > 1:20:03that's the problem.

1:20:12 > 1:20:16What's this about? I don't owe you anything.

1:20:16 > 1:20:19Technically, you have paid for the funeral,

1:20:19 > 1:20:22but secrets have a habit of coming out,

1:20:22 > 1:20:26and we all know how this neighbourhood likes to talk.

1:20:27 > 1:20:29Are you blackmailing me?

1:20:30 > 1:20:34One word from me and you'd have yourself in a bit of a pickle.

1:20:34 > 1:20:40I'm sure we can agree a reasonable price for my silence.

1:20:42 > 1:20:45- Here, look, your tea's here, it's getting cold.- Ooh, lovely. Thanks.

1:20:45 > 1:20:48- You going to get the other one out? - No, it's for the wedding.

1:20:48 > 1:20:50- But I want to see it. - You're as bad as Tiff!

1:20:50 > 1:20:51No, I want it to be a surprise.

1:20:51 > 1:20:55I bet you've gone for something really outrageous, haven't you? I bet it's a perm.

1:20:55 > 1:20:57Yeah, yeah, I'm going to get married to your dad with a perm,

1:20:57 > 1:21:00wearing that ridiculous dress that Tiff picked out.

1:21:00 > 1:21:01Imagine the photos!

1:21:01 > 1:21:03DOOR OPENS

1:21:03 > 1:21:05That would look nice.

1:21:05 > 1:21:06Hello.

1:21:06 > 1:21:08In here.

1:21:08 > 1:21:09You all right?

1:21:09 > 1:21:11Good day?

1:21:11 > 1:21:14She looks amazing, doesn't she?

1:21:14 > 1:21:16Yeah, yeah...you look really nice.

1:21:16 > 1:21:18Thanks.

1:21:18 > 1:21:20Damn, I think I've left my phone at the office.

1:21:20 > 1:21:23I better nip back cos it might not be there in the morning!

1:21:23 > 1:21:24Won't be long.

1:21:27 > 1:21:31He liked it. He's just probably a bit surprised, that's all.

1:21:31 > 1:21:34Yeah, well, he should have the guts to say it to my face, then.

1:22:30 > 1:22:32I knew you'd be a good cook.

1:22:32 > 1:22:34You haven't tried it yet.

1:22:34 > 1:22:36Ah! This looks cosy.

1:22:36 > 1:22:39Arthur, I thought you was going out tonight.

1:22:39 > 1:22:41Why don't you join us?

1:22:42 > 1:22:45No, man. I've got to meet some people at the Vic.

1:22:45 > 1:22:48Oh - well, we'll save you some for later.

1:22:51 > 1:22:53You know...

1:22:54 > 1:22:58..it's been a godsend having you around now.

1:22:58 > 1:23:00I like having you around, too.

1:23:01 > 1:23:04I wonder if you'd consider moving to Walford.

1:23:04 > 1:23:09I'd be very happy if you were close by. There's flats.

1:23:09 > 1:23:11Or you could come and live near me.

1:23:27 > 1:23:29I was hoping you wouldn't be here.

1:23:29 > 1:23:31So now you want to meet him?

1:23:31 > 1:23:33Come on, Lauren, let's just go, all right?

1:23:33 > 1:23:35Leave it to the police.

1:23:36 > 1:23:38No, I can't leave without talking to him.

1:23:38 > 1:23:41That e-mail was addressed to me, not Lucy.

1:23:41 > 1:23:43You can't blame yourself, all right?

1:23:43 > 1:23:46You don't even know this guy had anything to do with her death.

1:23:46 > 1:23:50Yeah, well, what if he did? Then it should have been me that died!

1:23:50 > 1:23:51Don't do that.

1:23:51 > 1:23:54Lucy had her whole life mapped out,

1:23:54 > 1:23:57and me - what am I going to do with my life?

1:23:57 > 1:23:59Are you seriously making this about you?

1:23:59 > 1:24:02You were right about what you said earlier - I am a drop-out.

1:24:02 > 1:24:04I ruin everything.

1:24:04 > 1:24:07I'm an alcoholic and I haven't even reached 21 yet.

1:24:07 > 1:24:09You're a recovering alcoholic.

1:24:09 > 1:24:11It's not something that's just going to go away -

1:24:11 > 1:24:14I have to live with that every day.

1:24:14 > 1:24:19I've lost my sister! I have to live with that every day.

1:24:19 > 1:24:22Now can we please just go?

1:24:22 > 1:24:27I'm sorry, but I need to find out who this bloke is.

1:24:29 > 1:24:32I need to know if it should have been me.

1:24:32 > 1:24:35OK. Well, you know what, Lauren? I wish it had been you.

1:24:48 > 1:24:49Peter, I'm sorry.

1:24:54 > 1:24:56You're Mr Jones?

1:24:58 > 1:25:02Lauren, please, just let me explain.

1:25:08 > 1:25:10Lauren! Lauren!

1:25:12 > 1:25:17You know, it's a pity to let all this go to waste.

1:25:17 > 1:25:18I tell you what I'll do.

1:25:18 > 1:25:20I'll put some in a little container.

1:25:20 > 1:25:23You can take it with you and have it for your supper.

1:25:27 > 1:25:32- Grandma. - I think I'm going to like having the Cokers living round here.

1:25:32 > 1:25:35Even though he does drive a hearse.

1:25:35 > 1:25:38Just promise me you'll think about it, yeah?

1:25:38 > 1:25:39I can't move away.

1:25:39 > 1:25:43- Why not?- Well, not with Ian as he is at the moment.

1:25:43 > 1:25:47And then there's Sharon and all Jim's grandchildren.

1:25:47 > 1:25:49You've been looking after people your entire life.

1:25:49 > 1:25:53Don't you think it's time you came first for once?

1:25:53 > 1:25:55I'm back.

1:25:57 > 1:25:59So, er...found your phone, then?

1:25:59 > 1:26:04Yeah, yeah. I was just out the door when some bloke collared me for a test drive. I'm famished.

1:26:04 > 1:26:08If I didn't know you better, I'd think you were trying to avoid me.

1:26:08 > 1:26:09Don't be soft.

1:26:09 > 1:26:13So you won't mind discussing wedding plans over dinner?

1:26:14 > 1:26:17- Er...- Bridesmaids' dresses, flowers...

1:26:17 > 1:26:20Yeah, yeah. Whatever you want, Carol. Seriously.

1:26:20 > 1:26:22Even a small affair needs planning.

1:26:22 > 1:26:25- What's for dinner? I'm hungry. - Can you make yourself scarce?

1:26:25 > 1:26:28- Me and Grandad have got things to discuss.- Oh, he's all right.

1:26:28 > 1:26:32No, you go over to McKlunky's, yeah? And get yourself something to eat.

1:26:33 > 1:26:34Suit yourself.

1:26:36 > 1:26:38You all right?

1:26:38 > 1:26:41- Me?!- Yeah, you seem a bit...- What? - On edge.

1:26:41 > 1:26:42I could say the same about you.

1:26:45 > 1:26:46Forget this.

1:26:49 > 1:26:52- Where are you going? - I'm going to get us a takeaway.

1:26:52 > 1:26:55We've got a wedding to discuss, haven't we?

1:26:58 > 1:27:00- Lauren!- Just get away from me.

1:27:00 > 1:27:01Lauren!

1:27:04 > 1:27:06Not till you hear me out, OK?

1:27:08 > 1:27:09Please don't hurt me.

1:27:10 > 1:27:11Hurt you?

1:27:13 > 1:27:15I could never hurt you.

1:27:15 > 1:27:17I love you.

1:27:19 > 1:27:20Why did you do it?

1:27:22 > 1:27:25Do what?

1:27:25 > 1:27:26She was my best mate.

1:27:28 > 1:27:32You think...you think that I killed Lucy?

1:27:33 > 1:27:36It had nothing to do with me, I swear to you!

1:27:38 > 1:27:42Please. Please just let me go.

1:27:42 > 1:27:46The only reason I replied to that e-mail was so I could see YOU.

1:27:50 > 1:27:52You're all that I've got left.

1:27:56 > 1:27:58HE GROANS

1:28:00 > 1:28:01You can stay a bit longer, can't you?

1:28:01 > 1:28:04- I leave for Bangkok in three hours. - Please, Mum.

1:28:04 > 1:28:07I've taken too much time off as it is, darling.

1:28:07 > 1:28:09And anyway, have you seen the state of this face?

1:28:09 > 1:28:11I look like Casper the ghost.

1:28:11 > 1:28:12When are we going to see you next?

1:28:12 > 1:28:16Couple of weeks, tops. Now come on.

1:28:16 > 1:28:18You've got enough going on with school as it is.

1:28:18 > 1:28:21You won't give me a second thought.

1:28:21 > 1:28:25It's been good though, ain't it? These last few weeks.

1:28:25 > 1:28:28Yeah, I've really enjoyed myself.

1:28:28 > 1:28:29You keep trying with Cindy.

1:28:29 > 1:28:32And if she don't start responding to your texts,

1:28:32 > 1:28:36well, she's going to have me to deal with. And as for you...

1:28:36 > 1:28:39Never lose the sheen?

1:28:39 > 1:28:40That's my girl!

1:28:47 > 1:28:50Play your cards right and I'll bring you back a ladyboy.

1:28:58 > 1:29:02- Have you seen Peter? - What? No, babe. Not since lunch.

1:29:05 > 1:29:06Are you all right, Lauren?

1:29:12 > 1:29:14Roxy, can I talk to you?

1:29:14 > 1:29:17- Yeah.- Come and sit down.

1:29:17 > 1:29:20We're celebrating. First night out for the George Street...

1:29:20 > 1:29:22It's about your house-warming.

1:29:22 > 1:29:24- What about it?- Where was Jake?

1:29:25 > 1:29:27I don't know. I'm not his keeper.

1:29:27 > 1:29:29Please. Please it's important.

1:29:29 > 1:29:33Oh, um...he was at the flat, I think.

1:29:33 > 1:29:34What, all night?

1:29:34 > 1:29:39I don't know. I was over at Roxy's, wasn't I?

1:29:39 > 1:29:41Did he say where he'd been?

1:29:41 > 1:29:43Listen, that was ages ago.

1:29:43 > 1:29:45Yeah, well, he must have said something.

1:29:47 > 1:29:51Um...he was upset.

1:29:51 > 1:29:54Listen, sweetheart. I didn't interrogate the man, OK?

1:29:54 > 1:29:56Lauren, why are you bringing this all up now?

1:29:58 > 1:30:01If we see him, shall we say you was looking for him?

1:30:07 > 1:30:11You know there's some really good sheltered housing around.

1:30:11 > 1:30:15- Oh, I don't know. - Little self-contained flats. You've got your own kitchen and bathroom.

1:30:15 > 1:30:19And more importantly, they've got wardens patrolling the building 24 hours a day.

1:30:19 > 1:30:21You're a good boy, Charlie Cotton.

1:30:21 > 1:30:23I don't know about that.

1:30:23 > 1:30:28Your mother - she must be very proud of you.

1:30:28 > 1:30:29She is.

1:30:30 > 1:30:32Why don't I find us a couple of places to visit?

1:30:32 > 1:30:34And you can see for yourself, yeah?

1:30:34 > 1:30:36I don't suppose it could do no harm.

1:30:37 > 1:30:39You're not going, are you?

1:30:39 > 1:30:42It's late enough as it is.

1:30:42 > 1:30:46You know, Walford, it ain't such a bad place.

1:30:46 > 1:30:49A girl was murdered on the local common.

1:30:49 > 1:30:53So who's the treacle? Blonde or brunette?

1:30:53 > 1:30:55It ain't like that.

1:30:55 > 1:30:57She giving you the run around, is she?

1:30:57 > 1:30:59She ain't running nowhere. All right, bruv?

1:31:01 > 1:31:03It's Mrs B.

1:31:04 > 1:31:10Whoa, Mrs B. Let me guess. She wanted to watch Countdown.

1:31:10 > 1:31:13I'm booking you more of a sort of Bargain Hunt kind of a geezer?

1:31:13 > 1:31:15You know what, Mick? I don't need this.

1:31:15 > 1:31:18I'm winding you up. I'm sorry, all right?

1:31:18 > 1:31:22Now...tell Uncle Mick.

1:31:22 > 1:31:26It might seem funny but it's always been me and her.

1:31:26 > 1:31:30- And now...- And now you feel like this copper, he's took your seat at the table.

1:31:33 > 1:31:36She means a lot to you, that old girl, doesn't she?

1:31:36 > 1:31:37Mrs B's all I've got.

1:31:39 > 1:31:41What about your parents?

1:31:42 > 1:31:46You know how many times I've seen them in the last couple of years? Yeah, yeah, I might see my dad.

1:31:46 > 1:31:48- You know, drunk or asking for money. - And your mum?

1:31:48 > 1:31:51Mum? I don't even get a text on my birthday, mate.

1:31:52 > 1:31:53Well, that's probably

1:31:53 > 1:31:57because they think you're off living this life as an international DJ.

1:31:57 > 1:32:00It's because they don't care. They never have, they never will.

1:32:02 > 1:32:07Do you know what I think? I think copper or no copper, from what I hear he seems like a decent fella.

1:32:07 > 1:32:11And I reckon he's the one who feels like the outsider.

1:32:12 > 1:32:15- Yeah?- And...you know...

1:32:15 > 1:32:20It never does any harm to keep the Old Bill onside, know what I mean?

1:32:20 > 1:32:21Maybe you're right there, man.

1:32:21 > 1:32:24Listen, there's no maybe about it.

1:32:24 > 1:32:26It's your job to make the kid feel welcome.

1:32:29 > 1:32:32You know what, you're a wise man, Mick.

1:32:32 > 1:32:34- Thank you for the chat, man. - Always a pleasure, Fats.

1:32:34 > 1:32:36All right, listen.

1:32:36 > 1:32:38- Look after that for me. - I'll keep that chilled for you.

1:32:38 > 1:32:41- Nice one, man. - Don't you worry about that.

1:32:43 > 1:32:45Knew I should have been a psychiatrist.

1:32:47 > 1:32:49What did you say to Lauren, Aleks?

1:32:49 > 1:32:51Hey, buddy. You are behind with your rent.

1:32:53 > 1:32:55Just answer me.

1:32:55 > 1:32:59- Have you been drinking? - What did you tell her?

1:32:59 > 1:33:02She wanted to know where you were on Good Friday.

1:33:02 > 1:33:03And what did you say?

1:33:03 > 1:33:06That I didn't see you until the next morning.

1:33:06 > 1:33:09Relax. What have you done, Jake?

1:33:09 > 1:33:13I can't help you unless you tell me. What have you done?

1:33:15 > 1:33:16It's too late.

1:33:18 > 1:33:20What is too late? Jake?

1:33:23 > 1:33:27All right. You sit down. Dinner is almost ready.

1:33:27 > 1:33:29Well, the pasta's a little bit rubbery

1:33:29 > 1:33:32but nothing a bit of ketchup won't sort out, eh?

1:33:35 > 1:33:36Are you all right?

1:33:36 > 1:33:38Yeah, fine.

1:33:38 > 1:33:42Oh. I was thinking, maybe me and you could watch a DVD later as well.

1:33:42 > 1:33:44If you like.

1:33:44 > 1:33:48What do you fancy watching? Something slushy or slasher or...?

1:33:48 > 1:33:52- I didn't mean...- Right. I can't put this off any longer.- Put what off?

1:33:52 > 1:33:55- I need to go see what lies the papers have written about Lucy. - No, you can't!

1:33:55 > 1:33:58Our dinner's going to get cold.

1:33:58 > 1:34:01- Lola...- The papers just write more lies, all right, Peter?

1:34:01 > 1:34:04- No-one's going to believe them. - You've seen it?

1:34:04 > 1:34:08- KNOCK ON DOOR - I'll get...- Leave that. Where is it?

1:34:08 > 1:34:10- Is it here?- No.

1:34:11 > 1:34:13Peter, I didn't mean to...

1:34:16 > 1:34:17KNOCK ON DOOR

1:34:17 > 1:34:20Don't let that ruin our night, eh? Shall I dish up?

1:34:23 > 1:34:25I'm not hungry.

1:34:25 > 1:34:28Please, Peter!

1:34:35 > 1:34:36PHONE RINGS

1:34:53 > 1:34:57- That's very decent of you, Mr Cotton.- I could have you done for blackmail, you know.

1:34:57 > 1:34:58That's not a word I like to use.

1:34:58 > 1:35:01I prefer to see it purely as a business arrangement.

1:35:01 > 1:35:03This is a one-off. Do you understand me?

1:35:03 > 1:35:08Absolutely. And I'm very grateful to you, Mr Cotton, for helping us out of our little...financial deficit.

1:35:22 > 1:35:24Nikki?

1:35:24 > 1:35:26You all right, love? What's happened?

1:35:28 > 1:35:30- It's over.- What's over?

1:35:34 > 1:35:35I'm as good as dead.

1:35:41 > 1:35:42You seen the paper?

1:35:43 > 1:35:45More wicked lies.

1:35:47 > 1:35:49Not that it matters now.

1:35:50 > 1:35:54What's happened, Dot? You used to be able to go out through your door

1:35:54 > 1:35:55and know somebody had your back.

1:35:55 > 1:35:58You're still amongst friends, Ian.

1:35:58 > 1:36:02And where was Lucy's friends when she needed them?

1:36:02 > 1:36:05Dot, this used to be a community. People used to look out for each other.

1:36:05 > 1:36:10Yes, well, you can't let one dark cloud put out the light.

1:36:10 > 1:36:13The pain, it will lessen.

1:36:13 > 1:36:16I know it don't seem like it now, but it will.

1:36:19 > 1:36:22- You know what I did this morning? - No. What?

1:36:23 > 1:36:26I took a cup of tea up to Lucy's room.

1:36:26 > 1:36:29It's still outside the door now.

1:36:29 > 1:36:32I've still got an old pullover of Nick's.

1:36:34 > 1:36:37- Will you promise me one thing? - What's that?

1:36:37 > 1:36:40Your Charlie. Don't ever take him for granted.

1:36:42 > 1:36:45We don't know how long we've got them.

1:36:46 > 1:36:50- You all right, Lauren? - Where are you going?

1:36:50 > 1:36:54I was just going to pop over to the Vic for one. Are you OK?

1:36:54 > 1:36:56Yeah, I'm fine.

1:36:56 > 1:36:58I could stay here if you'd rather.

1:36:58 > 1:37:03Sure? Right, Abi'll be home soon anyway. See you in a bit.

1:37:15 > 1:37:18KNOCK ON DOOR

1:37:18 > 1:37:19DOG BARKS

1:37:19 > 1:37:22It's all right. It's only Abi.

1:37:27 > 1:37:29Lauren! Five minutes.

1:37:29 > 1:37:32- Get away from me!- Please. - I mean it, Jake!

1:37:42 > 1:37:45- Hey. Just an orange juice, please. - No problem.

1:37:45 > 1:37:47Hey, Mick. I'll get these, man.

1:37:48 > 1:37:50I saw you coming in, so I just thought...

1:37:50 > 1:37:53No better way to bond than over a drink in the Queen Vic, eh?

1:37:53 > 1:37:55Exactly. You see?

1:37:58 > 1:38:01So, I swear Mrs B said you was working tonight.

1:38:01 > 1:38:03Yeah, they don't need me till ten.

1:38:03 > 1:38:07OK. That must be hard, though. You know, splitting your time between here and work?

1:38:07 > 1:38:09That's not going to be a problem for much longer.

1:38:09 > 1:38:12- Yeah? Why's that? - I'll let Dot tell you.

1:38:12 > 1:38:16No, come on, bruv. Don't leave a man hanging.

1:38:16 > 1:38:18She's leaving the square.

1:38:20 > 1:38:22Oh, dear.

1:38:22 > 1:38:27Oh, no. He's gone and left his stew behind.

1:38:27 > 1:38:32Oh, never mind. I'll run it down to him.

1:38:34 > 1:38:37KNOCK ON DOOR

1:38:37 > 1:38:41Hello? It's Lauren Branning. Lucy's friend. I just...

1:38:41 > 1:38:45I really need to speak to someone. So can you give me a call back, please, on this number?

1:38:45 > 1:38:47KNOCK ON DOOR

1:38:47 > 1:38:52Lauren. Just open the door, will you? Lauren!

1:39:05 > 1:39:07Where's Grandad?

1:39:07 > 1:39:09Your guess is as good as mine.

1:39:10 > 1:39:13- Want a bit?- No thanks, darling.

1:39:16 > 1:39:18Look, come on, Nikki, I've got to go.

1:39:18 > 1:39:20Don't leave me. Please.

1:39:22 > 1:39:25- It was just such a shock, do you know what I mean? - Yeah, yeah, I can imagine.

1:39:25 > 1:39:31How can they ground me? I'm the best cabin crew they've got.

1:39:31 > 1:39:34Come on. Working on the ticket desk? That can't be so bad.

1:39:34 > 1:39:36You get your staff travel, don't you?

1:39:36 > 1:39:39- It's where they stick you when you're past your prime.- Stop it.

1:39:39 > 1:39:43- They might as well send me to the knacker's yard and be done with it. - Don't be daft.

1:39:43 > 1:39:45You're still a very attractive girl.

1:39:45 > 1:39:47You're just saying that.

1:39:48 > 1:39:49No, I mean it.

1:39:52 > 1:39:56That boss of yours - he needs his head examining.

1:39:56 > 1:40:00Anyway, look on the bright side. You can spend more time with your kids, can't you?

1:40:00 > 1:40:04- It'll be all right. - There is that, I suppose.- Yeah.

1:40:04 > 1:40:06Come on.

1:40:08 > 1:40:11Do you know something?

1:40:11 > 1:40:15You're the only person round here who's ever really been kind to me.

1:40:17 > 1:40:19Well, that's cos...

1:40:20 > 1:40:26Cos you and I understand each other, don't we, eh?

1:40:26 > 1:40:30In a parallel universe, who knows where we would've ended up?

1:40:30 > 1:40:31Eh?

1:40:32 > 1:40:36No. No. It's not happening again, Nikki.

1:40:36 > 1:40:39No way. Sorry, love.

1:40:44 > 1:40:46Sorry.

1:40:46 > 1:40:48Don't tell me. Another test drive.

1:40:48 > 1:40:53I'll bung it in the oven. It'll be hot in no time.

1:40:53 > 1:40:55- There you are. - It's the wig, isn't it?

1:40:56 > 1:40:58I saw the way that you looked at me.

1:40:58 > 1:41:01It's all in your head.

1:41:01 > 1:41:02I don't believe you.

1:41:04 > 1:41:08All right. Maybe I was a bit surprised, that's all.

1:41:08 > 1:41:11Well, you know, it's something that you're going to have to get used to.

1:41:11 > 1:41:15- If you still want to do all this. - Of course I do!

1:41:17 > 1:41:19Did it really look that terrible?

1:41:19 > 1:41:22You looked beautiful.

1:41:22 > 1:41:25Then why didn't you say that?

1:41:25 > 1:41:27I dunno. Because it's me, Carol, innit?

1:41:27 > 1:41:30Sometimes my head and mouth don't always work together.

1:41:32 > 1:41:34Go on, go and put it on for us.

1:41:34 > 1:41:37- No, I don't want to.- Please.

1:41:53 > 1:41:56Oh, that's good.

1:41:56 > 1:41:59Hurry up, cos I'll eat it all.

1:42:03 > 1:42:05Come here.

1:42:08 > 1:42:11Still the same girl I fell in love with.

1:42:48 > 1:42:50So what, you reckon he's bent?

1:42:50 > 1:42:52- Well, maybe. I don't know. - Based on what, exactly?

1:42:52 > 1:42:54I saw him with that funeral guy.

1:42:54 > 1:42:56- Doing what?- Giving him money.

1:42:56 > 1:42:58Maybe he's buying his plot early.

1:42:58 > 1:43:01Come on, Max, all right? And then there's this whole Mrs B thing, yeah?

1:43:01 > 1:43:03Like she would ever want to leave this place.

1:43:03 > 1:43:07- She practically runs this square. - Arthur, you know what you need, don't you? A girlfriend.

1:43:07 > 1:43:11- Max, please, all right? Just talk to him?- What, and say what?

1:43:11 > 1:43:13I don't know. Suss him out.

1:43:13 > 1:43:17I've got to be honest with you, mate. The last thing I want to do is spend my night with a copper.

1:43:17 > 1:43:20Hey, Charlie. Listen, have you two met?

1:43:20 > 1:43:22- Yeah, briefly.- Max.- How's it going, all right?- Jim's boy.

1:43:22 > 1:43:24You know what? I promised Tina a game of darts.

1:43:24 > 1:43:28So I'm just going to let you two boys catch up and all that.

1:43:28 > 1:43:29Arthur?

1:43:32 > 1:43:37I, um, I told the police everything last week.

1:43:40 > 1:43:41Told them what exactly?

1:43:43 > 1:43:48How, er...I'd e-mailed you...

1:43:49 > 1:43:52Using a made-up name.

1:43:53 > 1:43:59Come on, Lauren, you would have never replied if you knew it was me.

1:44:01 > 1:44:02Carry on.

1:44:04 > 1:44:06That we'd arranged to meet.

1:44:08 > 1:44:11Except when I got there...

1:44:13 > 1:44:14Lucy was there.

1:44:16 > 1:44:17And?

1:44:23 > 1:44:26She could see how drunk I was.

1:44:28 > 1:44:31I could barely stand.

1:44:31 > 1:44:33Did you try it on with her?

1:44:33 > 1:44:36- No!- But you did fancy her though, didn't you?

1:44:36 > 1:44:37It's only ever been you, Lauren.

1:44:37 > 1:44:42Are you seriously trying to say that you've never even thought about it?

1:44:45 > 1:44:46I don't know.

1:44:48 > 1:44:49Maybe.

1:44:50 > 1:44:52Then what happened?

1:44:55 > 1:44:58She...she, um...

1:44:59 > 1:45:03She put us in a cab and dropped me back at the flat.

1:45:06 > 1:45:08Well, then where did Lucy go?

1:45:14 > 1:45:16That is the last time I saw her.

1:45:22 > 1:45:24So what's your take on this Lucy girl?

1:45:24 > 1:45:26That's not my department, mate.

1:45:26 > 1:45:28Yeah, well, you must've heard about it?

1:45:28 > 1:45:31- What are you so interested for anyway?- No, nothing.

1:45:31 > 1:45:34It's just, you know, she was my daughter's best mate, that's all.

1:45:34 > 1:45:36So when's Dot planning on moving out?

1:45:36 > 1:45:38As soon as we've got everything sorted out.

1:45:38 > 1:45:41And you really think she's ready to leave all this?

1:45:41 > 1:45:45- All I'm trying to do is make sure she's looked after. That's not so bad, is it?- No, of course not.

1:45:45 > 1:45:47She might think she's invincible but she's an old lady.

1:45:47 > 1:45:51Trust me. She is going to outlive all of us.

1:45:51 > 1:45:55- Right. Listen, I should get moving. Say goodbye to Arthur for me, will you?- Yeah, all right.

1:45:55 > 1:45:57- See you later.- See you.

1:45:57 > 1:45:58What did the police say to you?

1:46:02 > 1:46:05They released me without charge.

1:46:05 > 1:46:08What? They just let you go?

1:46:08 > 1:46:10I've done nothing wrong!

1:46:11 > 1:46:13What about this cab?

1:46:18 > 1:46:21They're trying to trace the driver.

1:46:24 > 1:46:26So you ain't got no-one to back up your story?

1:46:26 > 1:46:28No, not yet. But when they find him I will.

1:46:28 > 1:46:30What did he look like?

1:46:30 > 1:46:33What did he look like - this so-called cab driver?

1:46:35 > 1:46:38Tall, dark hair.

1:46:38 > 1:46:40He had a checked shirt on with a woman's name

1:46:40 > 1:46:43tattooed on the back of his neck.

1:46:45 > 1:46:47That's not going to be hard to find, then, surely?

1:46:52 > 1:46:55He was unlicensed.

1:46:55 > 1:46:59Oh. Course he was(!)

1:47:00 > 1:47:02Tracey, same again, please.

1:47:02 > 1:47:05So, what did you make of him?

1:47:05 > 1:47:08Yeah, he's all right. He's a nice bloke. For a copper.

1:47:08 > 1:47:10Did you ask him about that Coker guy?

1:47:10 > 1:47:12- No. It's none of our business, is it?- Yeah, but Max...

1:47:12 > 1:47:14No. But nothing, all right?

1:47:14 > 1:47:17Just let Dot live her own life, will you?

1:47:18 > 1:47:21Some moving-in party this has turned out to be.

1:47:21 > 1:47:24Why don't we go and have a little celebration of our own back at the flat?

1:47:29 > 1:47:32Fats, are Jake and Lauren back together?

1:47:32 > 1:47:36- I don't know, babe. - What about you? He's your mate.

1:47:36 > 1:47:38Has he said something to you?

1:47:40 > 1:47:42What is the matter with you tonight?

1:47:42 > 1:47:45Hmm? I've got to go, sorry.

1:47:50 > 1:47:53- Where are you going? - How much was it?- What?

1:47:53 > 1:47:56The cab. The cab - from Walford Common to Albert Square.

1:47:56 > 1:47:58I've done it enough times.

1:47:59 > 1:48:01A fiver, I think.

1:48:01 > 1:48:03OK, well, who paid for it? You or Lucy?

1:48:03 > 1:48:09- I don't know.- But you can remember the checked shirt and the tattoo on the back of his neck.

1:48:09 > 1:48:12You ain't got a clue what happened that night, have you?

1:48:43 > 1:48:45Hello.

1:48:45 > 1:48:49Yeah, I'd like to speak to someone about Lucy Beale, please.

1:48:49 > 1:48:53There are flashes, yeah. Bits that I can still remember.

1:48:53 > 1:48:55Like when you made a pass at her?

1:48:57 > 1:49:00Is that what happened, Jake? Did she knock you back and...

1:49:00 > 1:49:03No!

1:49:03 > 1:49:06Come on. Come on, we know Lucy had a bit of a temper on her.

1:49:06 > 1:49:08- What, did she fight you back? - Stop it, Lauren!

1:49:08 > 1:49:12- Did she laugh in your face? - I already told you what happened!

1:49:12 > 1:49:14So it all got a little bit too much for you?

1:49:14 > 1:49:21- And then you fought her back. And then you pushed her and then you... - Don't you even dare say it.

1:49:29 > 1:49:30Lauren!

1:49:34 > 1:49:36Lauren!

1:49:36 > 1:49:38Lauren, wait!

1:49:38 > 1:49:40Lauren! Get off me!

1:49:40 > 1:49:42Leave her. She's not worth it.

1:49:42 > 1:49:45Come on. Come on.

1:49:50 > 1:49:54- Yeah, they had won three in a row but then they lost 3-0 to a second division team.- Who?

1:49:54 > 1:49:56I think it was Southend.

1:49:58 > 1:49:59Nik?

1:50:01 > 1:50:04You frightened the life out of me.

1:50:04 > 1:50:06I wanted you all to be the first to hear my news.

1:50:06 > 1:50:10- What is it?- I've decided to transfer to the ticket desk.

1:50:10 > 1:50:12That way I get to spend more time with my babies.

1:50:12 > 1:50:15Yay!

1:50:15 > 1:50:17Well, I'll make the bed up then, shall I?

1:50:17 > 1:50:19Maybe just for tonight, yeah.

1:50:22 > 1:50:25They're so getting back together.

1:50:25 > 1:50:27- Night, Mum.- Night, sweetheart.

1:50:31 > 1:50:33Who are you texting?

1:50:33 > 1:50:35Just a friend.

1:50:43 > 1:50:48- Fancy a cup of tea?- Yeah, I wouldn't mind one. Oh. Actually, no. Don't make me a cup of tea.

1:51:15 > 1:51:17Hey, Mrs B.

1:51:17 > 1:51:21Um, can we talk for a bit?

1:51:22 > 1:51:27It's just that recently I've been feeling a bit in the way.

1:51:27 > 1:51:32A bit pushed out. And I know Charlie's your flesh and blood,

1:51:32 > 1:51:36you know, and I'm just a lodger.

1:51:36 > 1:51:39But Max is right, you know. He's a good guy.

1:51:39 > 1:51:43And he only has your best interests at heart.

1:51:43 > 1:51:44Mrs B?

1:51:44 > 1:51:46He forgot his stew.

1:51:46 > 1:51:49And I went after him and took it down to the station.

1:51:49 > 1:51:51And he weren't there.

1:51:51 > 1:51:53No, they didn't need him until ten.

1:51:53 > 1:51:55He was with me over the road.

1:51:55 > 1:52:00They said they'd never heard of a Detective Constable Charlie Cotton.

1:52:02 > 1:52:05What? What are you saying?

1:52:06 > 1:52:10That he's a fraud. A liar.

1:52:11 > 1:52:15No. There must be some kind of explanation.

1:52:15 > 1:52:17Yes.

1:52:17 > 1:52:21That I was a fool for ever believing that he was my grandson.
