0:00:32 > 0:00:34She's got you slaving away already then, has she?

0:00:34 > 0:00:38Eh? Nah, I'm always ready to help family out, ain't I?

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Here, did you know she'd bought this place? Cos no-one told me.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43That's my sister, Billy. Full of surprises.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49'Shot. One, two, three, four...'

0:00:50 > 0:00:52'Right cross, that's good.'

0:00:55 > 0:00:57'One, two, three, four...'

0:00:57 > 0:01:00If you've come to eye up my punters, get in line.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Carl's mum called again this morning.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05She's not going away.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Right, then.- Who's taking you to the clinic?

0:01:10 > 0:01:12We're going to get a cab.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Oh! I'm surprised Terry never offered.

0:01:15 > 0:01:16Terry didn't know.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Terry's got enough to deal with.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20I'll drive you, then.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22I'd like to see how my money's being spent.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25I'm seeing doctors with designer suits and gold-plated stethoscopes.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29No-one FORCED you to pay for them to go private.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31What price a good night's sleep for our girl?

0:01:31 > 0:01:34Girls. Two of them, don't forget.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37Yeah, all right! She's cost me an extra grand!

0:01:37 > 0:01:40We'll definitely get a cab.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44I didn't want to come round here and start dragging you down,

0:01:44 > 0:01:46not after everything you've been through.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Oh, no, it was just one of my winter chests.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50You know, keep in the warm, keep out the wind

0:01:50 > 0:01:52and take your cough mixture.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56Anyway, I'm glad you told me.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59You shouldn't even BE down here. You should be tucked up in that bed!

0:01:59 > 0:02:01I'm fine.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04But you must be feeling a bit scared.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Yeah.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Yes. But...

0:02:11 > 0:02:16I keep telling myself... it's better to know, right?

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Surely it's better to know than end up like Pauline?

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Walk out the house, and cross the square, and drop dead in the snow!

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Yes, well, I've worried about a lot of people dying...

0:02:25 > 0:02:28and some have. Some fast. Some slow.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30But there's one thing I DO know.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33You're not going nowhere!

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Now, come on.

0:02:35 > 0:02:36Give us a smile.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Go on.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41There's my girl!

0:02:43 > 0:02:45'And I know we've had our disagreements,

0:02:45 > 0:02:46'but I'm starting to get worried.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50'Just give me a ring, Carl, let me know you're OK.'

0:02:50 > 0:02:55She's his mum, and she's never going to find out what happened to him.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Don't you think that's sad?

0:03:01 > 0:03:03There's not much I can say, is there?

0:03:03 > 0:03:07If she finds out, everyone finds out. Is that what you want?

0:03:07 > 0:03:12- Go on. Pick it up. Call her. - That's not what I'm saying, Ron...

0:03:12 > 0:03:13I just, I just think it's sad.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Who are you imagining on the other end of that phone, Roxy?

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Mary Berry?

0:03:18 > 0:03:22Look, I don't know this woman, but if she raised Carl,

0:03:22 > 0:03:26chances are she's not exactly Mother of the Year.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28But, you know, if you feel sorry for her...

0:03:51 > 0:03:54I'm with YOU, Ronnie.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56I'm ALWAYS with you.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59You should know that by now.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Can I help? Yeah, one second.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Phil... PHIL!

0:04:14 > 0:04:16- WHAT?!- It's the phone for you!

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Do I look like I'm taking calls?! Just book 'em in!

0:04:18 > 0:04:21It's not garage business. This woman's trying to find someone.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Well, did she give her name?

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Yeah. Mrs White.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Why aren't you at school?

0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Felt sick.- See, this is what I was worried about.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39You might be happy to throw away your education...

0:04:39 > 0:04:42You really want me puking up in double maths?

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Teachers asking questions? Wouldn't that ruin your little plan?

0:04:45 > 0:04:46What plan?

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Keeping it a secret till you can persuade me to get rid of the baby.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Cindy, I'm tired of fighting with you about this, OK?

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Believe it or not, all I want is what's best for you.

0:04:55 > 0:04:56You don't know what's best for me!

0:04:56 > 0:05:00Right, and you do? OK. You're just a CHILD, for crying out loud!

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Cindy...

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Cindy!

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Cindy, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it to sound like that...

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Cind...

0:05:12 > 0:05:14I'm sorry about that...

0:05:14 > 0:05:17I'll try not to take it personally.

0:05:17 > 0:05:18Jane?

0:05:18 > 0:05:22You're moving back from Cardiff today? Should've let me know.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Didn't want a fuss. All the brass bands and bunting...

0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Where're you going to stay?- Ah!

0:05:27 > 0:05:29You made it!

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Masood offered me a bed just till I get myself sorted.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Oh, you can stay as long as you like!

0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Shall I get this luggage for- you, Madam? Thank you.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40- Ian.- Masood...

0:05:40 > 0:05:41If anything's broken, I'll...

0:05:41 > 0:05:46No, no, it's fine. It doesn't matter.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Don't worry, there's no-one else here.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Both the boys are out getting parts. - How'd she get the number, Phil?

0:05:59 > 0:06:01I don't know. The internet?

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Search for Mitchell, Walford, something like that, I suppose?

0:06:04 > 0:06:05Sorry, I don't understand...

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Just before Christmas, Carl told his brother

0:06:08 > 0:06:10that he was seeing a girl called Roxy Mitchell.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12- I don't believe this! - What did you say to her?

0:06:12 > 0:06:15What d'you think I said? Told her I'd never heard of either of 'em.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17She knows my name. She knows I live in Walford. What if she shows up?

0:06:17 > 0:06:20You're going to have to tell her that Carl's disappeared.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22That woman is probably going out of her mind.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Right? And now I... I have to lie to her?

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Maybe you should pick up Amy from school.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Disappear for a few days.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33So that's your answer, is it? Run away?

0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Has Nan left? - Yeah, they're just going.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Who was that on the phone?- Alice.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Where're you going? No, no, no. Your nan's got enough on her plate!

0:06:50 > 0:06:54But apparently Kat's told the police that she saw Alice stab Michael...

0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Eh?- And she's going to stand up in court and say so.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Liam...- But the trial starts this week.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00I don't care. I'll deal with this.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04Your nan does not need to know. D'you understand me?

0:07:05 > 0:07:07(Right.)

0:07:23 > 0:07:25DOORBELL RINGS

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Come on, Bianca! We're going to be late.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42- She ain't in! - Well, have you tried her phone?

0:07:42 > 0:07:44I've tried her phone, but there's no answer.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47But I need her for the stall. I'll have to try Alfie's phone.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Strange, Kat letting you down like that again.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Syed had Yasmin for the day, so we all went to the park.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25She's a right little princess, isn't she?

0:08:25 > 0:08:28Got them eating out of her hand.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30DOORBELL RINGS

0:08:30 > 0:08:33You stay right there. I want to hear all about her.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40You been up to see your brother?

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Not yet.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48Erm, we have a guest...

0:08:48 > 0:08:52All right? I'd like to offer to pay for what Cindy broke.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54- It's OK, really...- I'd like to get it straight with you.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Wasn't anything important. - Is it in that one?

0:08:56 > 0:08:58No, Ian. Please. No!

0:09:03 > 0:09:07Ha! Grandma's tea-set?

0:09:07 > 0:09:10No. It was our wedding present from my late Auntie Pauline.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16I like traditional. Traditional's good.

0:09:16 > 0:09:21- Yeah. I should get your room ready, right?- Thank you.- Shabnam?

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Kat?

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Kat? Oh!

0:09:30 > 0:09:31You all right?

0:09:31 > 0:09:35I've just had Bianca on the blower. She's worried about you.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37- Everything all right? - Yeah, I'm fine.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50So, you made your choice.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59- You've got nothing to say? - What d'you want me to say?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01What do you expect me to say? You know how I feel.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Alfie!

0:10:04 > 0:10:08You have got no idea how hard this is for me!

0:10:11 > 0:10:16Kat. OK, just hear me out, please. Kat...

0:10:20 > 0:10:22DOOR SLAMS

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Come on, come on.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Hello, mate, it's Alfie Moon.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42It's about that delivery to Albert Square.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46Listen, I really need it today.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50Got any of those little juice cartons, the ones with the straws?

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Not sure. You checked the fridge?

0:10:52 > 0:10:53Know we've got the big ones in there.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55I need the little ones. For travelling.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Me and Amy are going to head off for a couple of days,

0:10:57 > 0:10:59thought we might go and see Aunt Sal.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Excuse me. I wonder if you could help me.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04I'm looking for Carl White.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07Carl? Haven't seen him in months.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09He has a girlfriend, lives locally.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Roxy?

0:11:11 > 0:11:17Roxy? Erm, name rings a bell... What's her surname?

0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Mitchell.- Mitchell? Walford's full of THEM!

0:11:20 > 0:11:22But...

0:11:22 > 0:11:26can't say that I've heard of a Roxy.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Sorry to trouble you. Don't worry.

0:11:32 > 0:11:37So, who was that, then?

0:11:37 > 0:11:40- I have got no idea!- Yeah?

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Well, I'd say if she's got anything to do with Carl,

0:11:42 > 0:11:46she's definitely worth avoiding.

0:11:48 > 0:11:53Do you want one of these? Ladies, take one as well.

0:11:53 > 0:11:54Here you go.

0:11:56 > 0:12:00Hey! Do you want to earn 20 quid handing out these flyers?

0:12:00 > 0:12:02No, not really. I just want to go home.

0:12:02 > 0:12:03What's wrong with you?

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Billy says you haven't been out of the flat all weekend.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Is it cos of what happened last week?

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Does he know?

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Do you want to tell him?

0:12:15 > 0:12:17- Yeah, part of me does.- Listen.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21Take it from me. Secrets have a way of blowing up in your face.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24You've made one mistake, don't make another one.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26No, I don't think I can.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Look, invite him to the pub later tonight and talk it through.

0:12:29 > 0:12:33- I can't, I'm skint! - Well? Here you go. Go on!

0:12:33 > 0:12:35- See you later.- Yeah!

0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Hi!- Hiya! All right?

0:12:47 > 0:12:48Oh! What are you doing?

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Carl's mum. She's here.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Pregnant?- Yep.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02How far gone?

0:13:02 > 0:13:04We think three months.

0:13:04 > 0:13:05Well, shouldn't you know?

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Look, I only found out the other week!

0:13:07 > 0:13:09I'm sorry. Sticking my nose in.

0:13:09 > 0:13:14No, it's fine. I nearly phoned you over the weekend, but...

0:13:14 > 0:13:18well, then I remembered what happened with Lucy...

0:13:18 > 0:13:20That's in the past, Ian.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24And this is very different. I mean, at least Lucy was a bit older.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27What does Cindy want to do?

0:13:27 > 0:13:28She wants to keep it.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Although she may just be saying that to wind me up.- Oh, come on, Ian!

0:13:31 > 0:13:33No, she is just like her flamin' mother!

0:13:36 > 0:13:38And what about the father? Do you know him?

0:13:38 > 0:13:41His name's TJ. His dad's going out with Bianca.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Big, bald fella.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46Big, bald fella?

0:13:46 > 0:13:49I'm guessing relations aren't too good with him, either?

0:13:51 > 0:13:54Do you know what, I didn't want it to be like this.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57I've mucked everything up, haven't I?

0:13:57 > 0:13:59And you know what to do to put things right...

0:13:59 > 0:14:03You get everyone in a room together, and you talk things through.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07You handle Big Bald Fella, and I'll talk to Cindy.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12Listen, I want you to call me as soon as you get there.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16And you, you make sure you give a huge big hug to Aunt Sal, OK?

0:14:16 > 0:14:18DOORBELL RINGS

0:14:18 > 0:14:20It's probably just the postman.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23DOORBELL RINGS

0:14:47 > 0:14:49- Who was it?- No-one.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54- What're you hiding?- Nothing.- Show me.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05She knows where we live.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07I know.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Well, she's not going to stop, is she?

0:15:14 > 0:15:15I've got to meet her.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17No! No, Roxy, you can't.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Listen to me, you've got to take Amy and go to Aunt Sal's!

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Will you stop it? Just stop it.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25OK, I know you're always trying to protect me.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28But I can do this. OK?

0:15:28 > 0:15:30You let me protect you for a change.

0:15:36 > 0:15:37There you are!

0:15:39 > 0:15:41I was beginning to think you'd done a runner!

0:15:47 > 0:15:49If you've come to have a go, I've been up since four,

0:15:49 > 0:15:50so I ain't in the mood.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53I'd like to extend an olive branch.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56- Obviously not a real olive branch... - I know what that is, Ian.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Just trying to figure out what your game is.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Come round to ours at five o'clock and we'll talk things through?- Fine.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04I'll head over to the stall and see Bianca, and see what she says.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07I've already been there. They've packed up.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12How to describe Alice's reaction?

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Devastated. Confused.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17And there's me left wondering, why you, why now?

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Has Janine got some sort of hold on you, has she?

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Wonder what that could that be?

0:16:23 > 0:16:27I dunno what you're talking about. I'm just doing what I think's right.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Well, why didn't you do what you thought was right three months ago?

0:16:32 > 0:16:35I'd brush up on your story if I were you.

0:16:37 > 0:16:42- All right, Kat?- All right? - What was that about?

0:16:42 > 0:16:47- Nothing! You said you had something to show me, then show me!- Yeah!

0:16:54 > 0:16:55SHE SIGHS HEAVILY

0:17:01 > 0:17:05Hi, Mrs White? It's...it's Roxy Mitchell.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09Yeah, I'm sorry I missed you before.

0:17:09 > 0:17:10SHE SIGHS

0:17:11 > 0:17:14Look, I'll tell you as much as I can.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Why don't you come over?

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Do you know the cafe on Bridge Street, Cindy's?

0:17:22 > 0:17:25This ain't a good idea. One slip and the whole thing comes tumbling down.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27What do you want me to do, Phil? Tie her to a chair?

0:17:27 > 0:17:28Her head ain't in this.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32You don't want her anywhere near Carl White's mum, do you understand?

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Cindy, isn't it?

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Do you think the fact they haven't got back to me

0:17:39 > 0:17:40means I haven't got in?

0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Jay!- Huh? Oh, I don't know, Abs.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48I ain't that familiar with university admission procedure.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51I just want to help. Me and your dad used to be married.

0:17:51 > 0:17:52He's not my dad.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54No. Of course.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59But he is responsible for you.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02- And he's worried about you. - Did he send you here?

0:18:02 > 0:18:04No. I think if he knew you were skipping school,

0:18:04 > 0:18:06he'd have marched over here himself, don't you?

0:18:08 > 0:18:10What do you want?

0:18:11 > 0:18:13I was going to ask you the exact same thing.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Because I'm betting that's the one question no-one's asked you.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22Have you seen anyone yet? A GP? A midwife?

0:18:28 > 0:18:29My car's just around the corner.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Right, you can open those peepers now!

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Ha-ha!

0:18:41 > 0:18:44I give you the ultimate mobile fast-food dispensary!

0:18:44 > 0:18:48Stylish and classy and guaranteed to get them queueing round the block.

0:18:48 > 0:18:49Where'd you get the money?

0:18:49 > 0:18:52Well, I told you, I did all right in Oz. It's all ready to go.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Comes with stock, which Mick's kindly taking care of for me.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57And that new bloke on the market, he said we can have this pitch.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00- Sure there's going to be a market? - Oh, that's the beauty about having

0:19:00 > 0:19:02a business on wheels, you see. Things go belly up,

0:19:02 > 0:19:04we move on to pastures new! I really think, Kat,

0:19:04 > 0:19:07this is where it's going to start to go right for us.

0:19:09 > 0:19:10What is it?

0:19:11 > 0:19:14I think you was right, Alfie.

0:19:14 > 0:19:15I think you was right about everything.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17I've made a terrible mistake.

0:19:31 > 0:19:37So, feel free to look around, you can ask any questions that you like.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39And as you know, we're offering a free week's trial

0:19:39 > 0:19:41which starts today.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44So, obviously you can go over there, speak to Billy,

0:19:44 > 0:19:48and fill out some forms if you're interested. OK? Cheers.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51I want to be signed on by you personally.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53SHE LAUGHS

0:19:53 > 0:19:54Just see Billy.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58Mrs White? Hi, I'm Roxy Mitchell.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01Nora White.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03I'm sorry about the last-minute change of plan.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05We'll talk in the office, shall we?

0:20:12 > 0:20:13Oh!

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Oooh. DOOR BANGS

0:20:15 > 0:20:18Oh, there's no service washes cos I'm incapacitated.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21I've bruised me hand. You'll have to do your own.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Actually, Mrs Branning, I was just wondering

0:20:23 > 0:20:26if you could put a couple of these up for me?

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Let's have a dekko, cos Mr Oppodopolous,

0:20:28 > 0:20:31he is very particular about what he has up on his walls.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35- Oh! - You OK, Mrs Branning?

0:20:35 > 0:20:38Yes, I'm all right. Would just have been nice to have been consulted

0:20:38 > 0:20:41before she chucked my Jim's legacy out the window.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Oh...

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Sorry.

0:20:48 > 0:20:53And you've had no word from him at all, no calls, no texts?

0:20:53 > 0:20:57- Nothing. - And you didn't try and find me?

0:20:57 > 0:21:01Well, why would I? How was I to know he'd disappeared?

0:21:01 > 0:21:05I figured he was just cutting me out of his life, you know, moving on.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08He did tell you, didn't he, that we split up just before Christmas?

0:21:08 > 0:21:13No. But that's no surprise. He didn't tell me anything about you.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15SHE LAUGHS

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Oh, don't take it like that.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Carl knows I thought Kirsty was the only girl for him.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25He did mention you to his brother, though.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Adam seems to think he liked you more than most.

0:21:29 > 0:21:30Shame it didn't last.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34To be honest, I was relieved when we broke up.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Yeah, your son scared me.

0:21:36 > 0:21:41It takes a certain kind of woman to handle a man like Carl.

0:21:41 > 0:21:42I could handle him, all right.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44In fact, I think we'd still be together

0:21:44 > 0:21:46if he hadn't started running off.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48Well, he'd disappear for days on end, you see.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52And when he got back he was secretive, bad-tempered.

0:21:53 > 0:21:57Did he ever tell you where he went, what he was up to?

0:21:57 > 0:22:00He let slip once something about Manchester, but that was it.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02When I asked him about it, he just closed down.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Maybe he was trying to protect you. - Protect me from what?

0:22:09 > 0:22:10About this form...

0:22:10 > 0:22:13Could you knock, please, before you come into my office?! Thank you.

0:22:16 > 0:22:20- Sorry about that. - Oh, don't apologise.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23Looks like you might have been a match for Carl, after all.

0:22:23 > 0:22:24Bit of fire in your belly!

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Shame we didn't meet in better circumstances.

0:22:31 > 0:22:36- Thank you for your time. - I, erm, I hope you find him.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40Oh, he'll come back. Bad penny always does.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50SHE EXHALES

0:22:51 > 0:22:55Kat, you knew people would eventually find out.

0:22:55 > 0:22:56Yeah, I can handle that.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02Just as long as Janine does what she promised.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06- But what if she doesn't? - She will.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08But if you're in any doubt, you just need to go back

0:23:08 > 0:23:11to the Old Bill and withdraw your statement, don't you?

0:23:11 > 0:23:13And say what? That I got it wrong?

0:23:13 > 0:23:17Get myself charged with perverting the course of justice? And for what?

0:23:17 > 0:23:19Chances are you won't be charged.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23No, this can't have been for nothing. It can't.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Well, you're just going to have to trust Janine, then.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42- You ready? - What about Bianca?

0:23:42 > 0:23:44Yeah, I can't get hold of her, but I've left her a message.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46She'll be there, I promise you. Come on.

0:23:49 > 0:23:54- What?- I just wish Mum was here, that's all.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57Yeah, well, she's thinking about you, ain't she?

0:23:57 > 0:23:58Look...

0:24:00 > 0:24:05Whatever happens, I'm your dad, and I'm on your side, OK?

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Come on.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Oi! What are you doing? She could be here any minute.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17No, she won't.

0:24:18 > 0:24:19Well, show me!

0:24:25 > 0:24:28It's a good job your brother sent you this.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30There's definitely a resemblance.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Just admit it. You didn't trust me to pull it off.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38- No...- Admit it! - Have you finished?

0:24:38 > 0:24:40This isn't about me not trusting you.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43This isn't about me being over-protective.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46You said yourself you didn't want to lie to her.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51Look, I know you'd have done it. You'd have done it for me.

0:24:53 > 0:24:57But this is my mess. It's my job to clear it up, not yours.

0:24:59 > 0:25:03- What did you tell her? - I said he'd left.

0:25:03 > 0:25:04He left, and that was that.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13OK. I could do with a drink!

0:25:14 > 0:25:17I'll call Phil and ask him to join us. OK? Come on.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Ronnie, I handed out all the flyers.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27- Any chance I could grab my 20 quid?- Yeah, course.

0:25:27 > 0:25:28Oh, by the way, did Dot find you yet?

0:25:31 > 0:25:34Look, if Cindy ain't going to show, we'll do this another time, eh?

0:25:34 > 0:25:36I'm sure she'll be here. And Bianca too.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40School going all right then, is it, TJ?

0:25:40 > 0:25:42- Fine, thanks. - It's going more than fine!

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Teachers think he's university material, don't they?

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Really? Good job he didn't get pregnant then.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49Look, we came here in good faith,

0:25:49 > 0:25:51but if you're going to stick the knife in any chance you get...

0:25:51 > 0:25:54- Listen...- Forget it. Come on, TJ.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Sorry we're late, but it was important.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00Cindy has something she wants you to see.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08That's him. That's my baby!

0:26:11 > 0:26:15Cheers, thank you. That wasn't easy, was it?

0:26:15 > 0:26:17I'm really proud of you.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Come on, then, let's get inside.

0:26:22 > 0:26:27Well, thank you for this at least. Where am I going to put it?

0:26:27 > 0:26:29I'm sorry I didn't consult you about changing the name, Dot.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32I had no idea it was going to be so important to you.

0:26:32 > 0:26:35It ain't. But, I mean, it might be to Jim.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38Not that I'm going to tell him. And it could be to Jack.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Me and Jack...that's long gone.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45Yeah, but you can't just shut people out of your life, can you?

0:26:45 > 0:26:48Even if you'd like to. He was your husband.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50With all due respect, Dot, I don't need a lecture from you

0:26:50 > 0:26:53- or from anyone else. - I was just saying.

0:26:53 > 0:26:54DOORBELL RINGS

0:26:54 > 0:26:55Oh, who's that?

0:27:14 > 0:27:15Yes?

0:27:15 > 0:27:19- Mrs Dorothy Branning?- Yes. - I'm afraid we have some bad news.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23It concerns your son, Nicholas Cotton.

0:27:24 > 0:27:25You'd better come in.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37- What's he done this time? - It's not that, Mrs Branning.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43I'm very sorry to tell you that your son has died.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48I'm really very sorry, Mrs Branning.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52Dot... Dot, come and sit down.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54Are you sure it's him?

0:28:05 > 0:28:07Wotcha. How'd it go?

0:28:07 > 0:28:09It was fine. Just a lot to take in.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11- I'm making teas. Do you want one? - Mint, please.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14Yeah, we spent the first 90 minutes just talking

0:28:14 > 0:28:15before they even took blood.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17Talking? For an hour and a half?

0:28:17 > 0:28:20Yeah. They had to make sure we understood all the consequences,

0:28:20 > 0:28:22run through all the treatment options.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25- Right. And when do you get to find out?- Four weeks.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27Do you know what, I'm going to give Alice's brief a call,

0:28:27 > 0:28:29see how she's getting on.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31It's a bit late now. Besides, you've had a busy day.

0:28:31 > 0:28:32You staying tonight, darling?

0:28:32 > 0:28:34No, I've got to get back to Rebecca.

0:28:34 > 0:28:36I could murder a half hour in the Vic, though.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38Good idea. Do you want to come, Bianca?

0:28:38 > 0:28:40You know what, I'm so sorry, this is Terry.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42I've got to go. Sorry about the tea, see you later.

0:28:42 > 0:28:45Hello? What's all this? Scotch mist?

0:28:50 > 0:28:51How...

0:28:52 > 0:28:54How did he die?

0:28:59 > 0:29:01At the post-mortem we discovered that...

0:29:01 > 0:29:03Post-mortem?

0:29:03 > 0:29:06What're you talking about? Why?

0:29:06 > 0:29:08It was a sudden death -

0:29:08 > 0:29:11we had to have one there to rule out any foul play.

0:29:12 > 0:29:16It was found that his death was caused by respiratory failure

0:29:16 > 0:29:18brought on by a heroin overdose.

0:29:19 > 0:29:21When?

0:29:21 > 0:29:22A week ago.

0:29:22 > 0:29:23A week?

0:29:23 > 0:29:27Property in Gravesend. The house was being used as a squat.

0:29:34 > 0:29:39Your son's body is currently with this mortuary in Gravesend.

0:29:39 > 0:29:41They're expecting a call to receive your instructions.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48These were his personal effects.

0:29:48 > 0:29:51I really am very sorry for your loss, Mrs Branning.

0:30:08 > 0:30:09I think it's a boy.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11The future captain of QPR there.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14Come on, Teej, come have a look. Come on.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22- What are you playing at?- I thought she should be checked at the clinic.

0:30:22 > 0:30:24They offered us the scan there and then.

0:30:24 > 0:30:26So she's developed an attachment to it.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28She already had an attachment, Ian.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31If you'd talked to her, you'd know that. This baby's coming.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34The sooner you realise that, the sooner you can start helping her.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36Sorry I'm late. You all right, Jane?

0:30:36 > 0:30:39Where have you been? You had your phone off.

0:30:42 > 0:30:44- RONNIE IN HALL:- Thanks very much for coming,

0:30:44 > 0:30:47and I'll make sure I keep an eye on her. Thank you. Bye.

0:31:03 > 0:31:04I'm so sorry, Dot.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06Have they gone?

0:31:06 > 0:31:08Yeah.

0:31:08 > 0:31:12Must be a hard job they have. Very hard.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15DOOR CLOSES

0:31:15 > 0:31:16Oh... That'll be Arthur.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19What's going on, Mrs B? Ronnie.

0:31:19 > 0:31:20I hope you're hungry.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22Cos I made a chicken pie for Carol's lot,

0:31:22 > 0:31:24and there was enough left over to make one for us.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26OK, good times.

0:31:26 > 0:31:27Can I have a word?

0:31:31 > 0:31:34- Have you got nothing to say? - What do you want me to say?

0:31:34 > 0:31:36You want to end up like Lola Pearce,

0:31:36 > 0:31:38pushing a buggy around in your trackie bottoms?

0:31:38 > 0:31:40No education, no job prospects, no money...

0:31:40 > 0:31:42I'm nothing like Lola.

0:31:42 > 0:31:43Not yet.

0:31:46 > 0:31:47Cindy...

0:31:47 > 0:31:50I know we've had our ups and downs, OK,

0:31:50 > 0:31:54but I promise you all I want for you is what's best.

0:31:54 > 0:31:58OK? And this isn't for the best. This is a disaster.

0:31:58 > 0:32:02You keep saying that, but it doesn't feel like that to me.

0:32:04 > 0:32:05It feels...good.

0:32:07 > 0:32:10I know you don't want me here.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13That's fine, honestly, because I'm used to that.

0:32:14 > 0:32:19No-one's really wanted me since the day my mum died.

0:32:21 > 0:32:25But I...I want my baby.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29I want him so much.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41The electricians are due at the bar end of the week.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43We need to make some decisions.

0:32:43 > 0:32:47What do I know about light fittings? You turn 'em on, you turn 'em off.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50That's the third time she's called Ronnie. Why's she so jumpy?

0:32:50 > 0:32:52Ron, look, just call me when you get this.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56Hey, you all right, Bill? You want a drink?

0:32:56 > 0:32:58- If you're buying. - All right, Trace.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00A bottle of your nearly finest champagne, please.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02And an orange juice for the wife.

0:33:02 > 0:33:04Splashing the cash, aren't we? That your new van on Turpin Road?

0:33:04 > 0:33:07- Yeah.- What, you going into the burger business?

0:33:07 > 0:33:09- Got it cheap, didn't I? - Don't look cheap.

0:33:09 > 0:33:12We'll have a little chat about it later, yeah?

0:33:14 > 0:33:18Alfie, you're my mate, but this business in Australia?

0:33:18 > 0:33:21- I just hope it don't come back to bite you...- Bill, later.

0:33:23 > 0:33:26Oi, why haven't you been answering my calls? I've been worried sick.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28Why?

0:33:28 > 0:33:30Because I thought Carl's mum had caught up with you again.

0:33:30 > 0:33:31Why would she do that?

0:33:37 > 0:33:41OK, I'm sorry to be the killjoy here, but has anyone actually

0:33:41 > 0:33:44explained the impact that this is going to have on your life?

0:33:44 > 0:33:46I know it's going to be hard.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49- You've got no idea, darlin'. - It's what I want.

0:33:49 > 0:33:51And how do you feel about that, TJ? Do you want to be involved?

0:33:51 > 0:33:53'Course he does.

0:33:54 > 0:33:55If she's all right with it.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58Well, I want him to know who his dad is, that's all I know.

0:33:58 > 0:34:02- So you're putting TJ on the birth certificate?- 'Course. He's the dad.

0:34:02 > 0:34:04OK, so Cindy wants to have this baby,

0:34:04 > 0:34:07and she's happy for TJ to play a part in his life.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10The next question is, how are you going to support Cindy?

0:34:12 > 0:34:14She stays here. We look after her.

0:34:16 > 0:34:19And who's going to look after the baby?

0:34:19 > 0:34:20I will.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23Well, that is very easy for you to say, darlin',

0:34:23 > 0:34:26but chances are after six months of night feeds and early starts...

0:34:26 > 0:34:28She stays here and we look after her.

0:34:28 > 0:34:31Denise, what do you want me to do? Throw her on the street?

0:34:31 > 0:34:33House is already bursting at the seams.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35- We'll work it out. - And babies ain't cheap.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38We'll go 50/50, won't we?

0:34:39 > 0:34:42It's only right, ain't it? My boy's got her into this.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44- You got a load of money all of a sudden that I don't know about?- No.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47You said the other day you've got nothing left over

0:34:47 > 0:34:48at the end of the week.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53Do you mind if we have a minute, please?

0:34:58 > 0:35:01- So I just...- Can you really see Cindy coping with a baby?

0:35:01 > 0:35:03Well, yeah, I'm sure she'd manage. Listen...

0:35:03 > 0:35:05I dunno. She's not like you, is she?

0:35:05 > 0:35:08Peter, why don't you go round there and tell her

0:35:08 > 0:35:11exactly what she should be thinking, like everyone else is? I'm going.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13- Wait, have I upset you? - No.

0:35:13 > 0:35:15But I've come to tell you something

0:35:15 > 0:35:19and all you've done is bang on about Cindy this and Cindy that,

0:35:19 > 0:35:20and I do understand but...

0:35:20 > 0:35:23I got arrested last week for shoplifting nappies.

0:35:24 > 0:35:27- Right. I'll go see how Dot is. - Want me to come with ya?

0:35:27 > 0:35:30I need to find some kind words to say about Nick Cotton

0:35:30 > 0:35:32and diplomacy ain't your strong point. See you later.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34See you later, Sharon.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38Say something, then.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40I don't know what to say, really.

0:35:40 > 0:35:42I can't believe you'd do something like that.

0:35:42 > 0:35:46Why didn't you just come to me if you were so hard up?

0:35:46 > 0:35:47Because I was embarrassed.

0:35:47 > 0:35:51You know I'm happy to pay for stuff like that till you get sorted.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53I know, but the last placement they offered me was in Tooting.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56How am I going to get to Tooting every day?

0:35:56 > 0:35:58So maybe you should think about another kind of job?

0:35:58 > 0:36:00Do you know what, Peter?

0:36:00 > 0:36:02If you don't like who I am and what I do,

0:36:02 > 0:36:04I suggest you find yourself someone else.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08Yes, I know it's going to be tough, but I've got to do this.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11Ian said he'd look after her. And he's got the money to back it up.

0:36:11 > 0:36:15- Yeah, but it don't matter does it? - It does matter if your kids are going to go without.

0:36:17 > 0:36:18I'll do extra shifts or something.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20You're going to work even more hours

0:36:20 > 0:36:22to give money to a man that don't need money!

0:36:22 > 0:36:26I'm not doing this for Ian Beale. I'm doing it for TJ, ain't I?

0:36:29 > 0:36:30Look, if I put in half the money,

0:36:30 > 0:36:33that puts TJ on an equal footing, don't it?

0:36:33 > 0:36:36It gives us more say in how it turns out.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39Cos she's carrying a baby Spraggan there, you know.

0:36:41 > 0:36:42Dot?

0:36:42 > 0:36:47Sharon, Ian. Just in time for supper. Are you hungry?

0:36:47 > 0:36:49Arthur, supper time!

0:36:49 > 0:36:50Coming.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53Dot, Ronnie told us your news. We're so sorry.

0:36:54 > 0:36:58Yes, well, you see, there's too much for the two of us.

0:36:58 > 0:37:00Are you sure you won't have nothing?

0:37:00 > 0:37:03- I don't think... - Yeah, we'd love to, Dot.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05I'll lay some more places, shall I?

0:37:05 > 0:37:06Good. Ta.

0:37:08 > 0:37:09It's a burger van.

0:37:09 > 0:37:11Artisan burgers.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13- You don't even know what that means, do you?- No.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16- So it's a burger van.- Yes.

0:37:16 > 0:37:19But it's going to make us a few extra quid, ain't it, sweetheart?

0:37:19 > 0:37:22I think it's brilliant. You know what, it deserves a toast.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24Let's all raise our glasses. Kat and Alfie.

0:37:24 > 0:37:26- Lovely. Thank you. ALL:- Kat and Alfie.

0:37:26 > 0:37:27Cheers.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30And she definitely bought it?

0:37:30 > 0:37:33Totally. She said she knows what Carl's like.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36I said he just walked out of my life. She didn't bat an eyelid.

0:37:42 > 0:37:43You off?

0:37:43 > 0:37:46Yeah. Got some work to do down the gym.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Ron, just watch yourself, all right?

0:37:48 > 0:37:50You worry too much. Don't panic.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52We move forward, remember?

0:37:52 > 0:37:55You're a bit quiet. You all right?

0:37:55 > 0:37:57Yeah I'm fine. Babies are giving me gyp, that's all.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00Looking a bit tired. You not sleeping well?

0:38:00 > 0:38:03- Carol. Can I have a quick word? - Yeah.

0:38:05 > 0:38:07I think there's something you should know about Dot.

0:38:09 > 0:38:12Mrs B, that was lovely. Thank you so much.

0:38:12 > 0:38:16Always such a well-mannered boy, ain't he, Sharon?

0:38:18 > 0:38:22You do know what's happened, don't you?

0:38:22 > 0:38:24Course I do. I ain't doolally.

0:38:24 > 0:38:28Did the police say anything about Nick?

0:38:28 > 0:38:30They said that he was dead.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33Not much else they can say, is there?

0:38:35 > 0:38:38Ronnie said it was a drugs overdose, Dot.

0:38:38 > 0:38:40Yes. Yes, it was.

0:38:41 > 0:38:44It was always going to be drugs, wasn't it?

0:38:44 > 0:38:46Did they say what happens next?

0:38:46 > 0:38:50I still saw him in flashes... how he used to be...

0:38:50 > 0:38:51when he smiled...

0:38:51 > 0:38:54It's just if you need me to drive you anywhere...

0:38:55 > 0:38:59You didn't know him, Arthur, not when he was younger,

0:38:59 > 0:39:01but he was a good boy.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03Deep down, yes, he was a good boy.

0:39:03 > 0:39:06He was my little angel.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11Others will tell you different, but they didn't know him

0:39:11 > 0:39:13when he was young, not like I did.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15He was a good boy.

0:39:23 > 0:39:24Jay? I'm back.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55So...?

0:39:56 > 0:39:59Poppy got a call from Nick a while back.

0:39:59 > 0:40:03I tried to get her to tell Mrs B, but Poppy wasn't having none of it.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06- She said something about him being bad news.- He was.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08But I mean, I should've told Mrs B at least. Right?

0:40:08 > 0:40:11It doesn't matter what type of man he was, he was still her son.

0:40:11 > 0:40:13He deserved to speak to his mum. Right?

0:40:13 > 0:40:14To say what?

0:40:14 > 0:40:17The only thing Nick ever wanted from Dot was money.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20So just let it lie, cos if you tell her what you've told me,

0:40:20 > 0:40:22it's not going to help anyone, is it?

0:40:25 > 0:40:28Dot... Dot, you don't have to do that now.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30It's as good a time as any.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35Look, come here. Leave it. Leave it, please. Come on.

0:40:35 > 0:40:37Come sit down. Come on.

0:40:42 > 0:40:46Now listen, you. I'm worried about you.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48OK? We're all worried about you.

0:40:48 > 0:40:54I mean, given the circumstances, you're not acting normally.

0:40:54 > 0:40:56What's normal?

0:40:57 > 0:40:59- I think it's shock. - Shock?

0:41:00 > 0:41:03I've been expecting this for over 30 years

0:41:03 > 0:41:05and grieving just as long.

0:41:09 > 0:41:14When someone dies, there's... there's things you've got to do.

0:41:14 > 0:41:16Do you even know where the body is?

0:41:16 > 0:41:17Yes.

0:41:20 > 0:41:21Look, I know it's hard,

0:41:21 > 0:41:25and no matter how hard it gets you've just got to face it.

0:41:25 > 0:41:29I've been facing it for over half my life.

0:41:29 > 0:41:34My Nick's been good as dead for years! Dead. DEAD.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42My Nick's dead.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45He's with Jesus now.

0:41:47 > 0:41:49And all his troubles have gone away.

0:41:51 > 0:41:52And I'm thankful.

0:41:53 > 0:41:58Yes, I'm thankful that he's at peace at last.

0:42:04 > 0:42:08If there's anything we can do... Anything at all.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11I just want to be left.

0:42:47 > 0:42:49Carol, she needs some time to herself.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51I should see her, pass on my condolences at least.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53No, really, Carol. She just needs time alone.

0:44:11 > 0:44:14So horrible. Poor Dot.

0:44:14 > 0:44:17- Yeah, well, bound to happen sooner or later, weren't it?- Bianca.

0:44:17 > 0:44:19What? You didn't know him.

0:44:19 > 0:44:22I should tell Patrick. He'd want to know, wouldn't he?

0:44:22 > 0:44:25- We should get going, too. Come on. - I'm sorry we were interrupted.

0:44:25 > 0:44:26It's not a problem.

0:44:26 > 0:44:29I had a chat with Denise, and Jane seems to talk a lot of sense.

0:44:29 > 0:44:31So we'll talk money further down the line, eh?

0:44:31 > 0:44:33- Oh! 'Scuse me. - Thanks.

0:44:37 > 0:44:38I should go, too.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40Stay.

0:44:40 > 0:44:41Why should I stay?

0:44:41 > 0:44:45Um...cos we need to talk about the restaurant, don't we?

0:44:45 > 0:44:46So let's talk.

0:44:47 > 0:44:50Did you have to do that?

0:44:50 > 0:44:52Fine, so you ain't talking to me either now.

0:44:52 > 0:44:54Is this about the money?

0:44:54 > 0:44:56- Yes!- I'm just trying to do the right thing, ain't I?

0:44:56 > 0:44:59Do you see you and me being together in a few years, Tel?

0:44:59 > 0:45:00Yeah, 'course.

0:45:00 > 0:45:03So then you don't go and make decisions like that on your own!

0:45:03 > 0:45:05Bianca, wait...

0:45:06 > 0:45:08There's more to this, ain't it?

0:45:10 > 0:45:12This ain't just about the money.

0:45:12 > 0:45:15This ain't like you. What happened today?

0:45:17 > 0:45:21You had your phone turned off. You never do that.

0:45:21 > 0:45:22Bianca?

0:45:24 > 0:45:27I went to a clinic in Islington with my mum and Sonia.

0:45:27 > 0:45:30- Clinic?- Yes.

0:45:31 > 0:45:36My dad paid for me and Sonia to be screened for this cancer gene thing.

0:45:36 > 0:45:39I thought you got that all cleared up.

0:45:39 > 0:45:41Well, that was wrong.

0:45:41 > 0:45:42And you didn't think to tell me?

0:45:42 > 0:45:45No, I was going to have the test, get the results and in a few weeks...

0:45:45 > 0:45:48And you keep going on at me cos I don't tell YOU things?

0:45:48 > 0:45:50No, you'd just found out about the baby, you big lump!

0:45:50 > 0:45:52I knew you'd worry.

0:45:54 > 0:45:55You've got enough to worry about.

0:45:59 > 0:46:00What?

0:46:00 > 0:46:02You don't get it, do you?

0:46:04 > 0:46:06After all this time, you still don't get it.

0:46:09 > 0:46:11I like worrying about you.

0:46:19 > 0:46:21I don't know...

0:46:21 > 0:46:24I was on the market and I saw the nappies...

0:46:25 > 0:46:28..and I just took 'em. I really wasn't thinking.

0:46:30 > 0:46:36You've had a rough couple of months and you just slipped, that's all.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38It's like my dad.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40OK, it's not quite like that, but I'm just saying,

0:46:40 > 0:46:43I understand, it must have been really stressful,

0:46:43 > 0:46:44not having a job and that.

0:46:45 > 0:46:47I would consider other work,

0:46:47 > 0:46:51it's just I haven't really got many options, have I?

0:46:51 > 0:46:53Is Mummy stupid, hmm?

0:46:55 > 0:46:57What about childcare?

0:46:59 > 0:47:00Kids love you.

0:47:00 > 0:47:03And that's like a proper career, ain't it?

0:47:03 > 0:47:05- Something you can progress in. - Yeah, but...

0:47:05 > 0:47:07It's got to be more rewarding

0:47:07 > 0:47:09than sitting around painting nails all day.

0:47:10 > 0:47:12Yeah, I could consider it.

0:47:12 > 0:47:13Look into it a bit...

0:47:25 > 0:47:29Champagne? Who's been buying you champagne?

0:47:29 > 0:47:30Wouldn't you like to know?

0:47:30 > 0:47:32Yeah, I would.

0:47:32 > 0:47:35I might have to stroll over there and knock his lights out.

0:47:35 > 0:47:37As if!

0:47:39 > 0:47:41Kat and Alfie, if you must know.

0:47:41 > 0:47:43Oh. That's all right, then.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45They're setting up a new business.

0:47:45 > 0:47:47- What new business? - Burger bar.

0:47:47 > 0:47:49That ain't right.

0:47:49 > 0:47:50- What's not right?- Liam.

0:47:50 > 0:47:53It's not right she's sat over there, celebrating

0:47:53 > 0:47:56- and drinking champagne after what she's done.- Me?

0:47:56 > 0:47:57Not you. Kat!

0:47:59 > 0:48:00What about Kat?

0:48:00 > 0:48:02Huh?

0:48:05 > 0:48:06DOOR BANGS

0:48:09 > 0:48:11Who is it?

0:48:13 > 0:48:15Hey.

0:48:15 > 0:48:18I thought you might fancy a nightcap.

0:48:19 > 0:48:21Mum?

0:48:21 > 0:48:23What's the matter?

0:48:23 > 0:48:25I'm so angry, don't even ask me.

0:48:25 > 0:48:26Why, what's happened?

0:48:34 > 0:48:36SHE HAMMERS ON DOOR AND RINGS BELL

0:48:36 > 0:48:37Open the door!

0:48:39 > 0:48:42Open this door or I will kick it in! Come on!

0:48:47 > 0:48:50- Where is she?- Carol, it's late. Tommy's in bed, Mo's got a migraine.

0:48:50 > 0:48:53- You've obviously been drinking. - Is Kat hiding in there?- Carol, stop!

0:48:53 > 0:48:56- You can't hide in there forever, Kat!- I'm not hiding!

0:48:56 > 0:48:58Bianca, take her home.

0:48:59 > 0:49:01What was all that in the pub?

0:49:01 > 0:49:03I even toasted your future!

0:49:03 > 0:49:05And there you were, smiling away,

0:49:05 > 0:49:06knowing that you'd slid a knife in my back.

0:49:06 > 0:49:08I've done nothing to you, Carol.

0:49:08 > 0:49:10- Hurt my family, you hurt me. - Mum, please.

0:49:10 > 0:49:14No! She's told the police that she saw Alice attack Michael.

0:49:14 > 0:49:16Go on, ask her.

0:49:16 > 0:49:18Is that true, Kat?

0:49:20 > 0:49:21You're a liar.

0:49:21 > 0:49:24You're a liar and I'm going to make sure that everybody knows it!

0:49:44 > 0:49:46You can have the money as soon as the paperwork's drawn up.

0:49:46 > 0:49:48I've been checking out property prices

0:49:48 > 0:49:50and they've gone up quite a bit.

0:49:50 > 0:49:53Now, I'm not sure that's going to buy you a half-share any more.

0:49:56 > 0:49:58Where you going?

0:49:58 > 0:50:00Won't accept anything less than an equal partnership

0:50:00 > 0:50:03with an equal say in the running of the business.

0:50:03 > 0:50:04You want to run it?

0:50:04 > 0:50:06Of course I do. What do you think I want?

0:50:06 > 0:50:09- Be a silent partner in a mediocre restaurant?- Mediocre?

0:50:11 > 0:50:13You average 15 covers a night.

0:50:13 > 0:50:15We could double that in six months, and that's just for starters.

0:50:19 > 0:50:22All right, what's your big idea, then?

0:50:24 > 0:50:25We close the restaurant down.

0:50:30 > 0:50:31When did you go for the interview?

0:50:31 > 0:50:34Saturday morning. I was trying to keep it a secret.

0:50:34 > 0:50:38I had this vision of me running in with the mortgage documents

0:50:38 > 0:50:40going, "Look, Ron, I did it!"

0:50:40 > 0:50:43I'm sorry. Why don't you go to another bank?

0:50:43 > 0:50:45No. Face it.

0:50:45 > 0:50:48No-one's going to give me a mortgage whether I've got a deposit or not.

0:50:49 > 0:50:52They're right, I'm a credit liability. Add that to the list.

0:50:52 > 0:50:54Don't say that.

0:50:54 > 0:50:57It's true, though, isn't it?

0:50:57 > 0:50:59I mean, 40 - it's not exactly far off,

0:50:59 > 0:51:01and what have I got to show for it?

0:51:01 > 0:51:03No house, got no job.

0:51:03 > 0:51:05- You've got Amy. - I know.

0:51:05 > 0:51:08And I want to have somewhere settled for her.

0:51:08 > 0:51:10You know, somewhere she belongs.

0:51:12 > 0:51:14I'm not like you, Ron.

0:51:15 > 0:51:18I try and I try, and I just...

0:51:20 > 0:51:21..I can't do it on my own.

0:51:24 > 0:51:26I could help you buy a house.

0:51:26 > 0:51:30I dunno, it's an idea. Maybe it's not the right time...

0:51:30 > 0:51:34No, it is! It absolutely is the right time.

0:51:36 > 0:51:37If that's what you want.

0:51:40 > 0:51:41Really?

0:51:41 > 0:51:43I love you!

0:51:43 > 0:51:44Ohhh!

0:51:44 > 0:51:46THEY LAUGH

0:51:46 > 0:51:48Get off me, you loony! Get off me.

0:51:54 > 0:51:56- Ron?- Mm-hm?

0:51:57 > 0:52:02All that stuff with Carl, I just want to forget all about it.

0:52:02 > 0:52:05We can, can't we?

0:52:07 > 0:52:08Yeah.

0:52:10 > 0:52:12Come here.

0:52:14 > 0:52:16- I love you.- I love you.

0:52:51 > 0:52:53DOOR BANGS

0:54:38 > 0:54:41Couldn't this have waited till the morning?

0:54:41 > 0:54:43I was just on my way to bed.

0:54:43 > 0:54:45I'm sorry, Mrs Branning.

0:54:45 > 0:54:48I just wanted to...drop off the rest of your son's things

0:54:48 > 0:54:51and make sure you're OK.

0:54:51 > 0:54:55Well, that's very kind of you, but there's really no need.

0:54:55 > 0:54:57It's just I know you don't have any family.

0:54:57 > 0:54:58Who told you that?

0:54:59 > 0:55:02I've got a sister, Rose, well, half-sister,

0:55:02 > 0:55:05and her boy and then there's my little Dotty...

0:55:07 > 0:55:13Has anyone told her? She was very close to her father...

0:55:13 > 0:55:14Oh, dear.

0:55:14 > 0:55:16I shall have to ring Sandy.

0:55:19 > 0:55:22This isn't usual, is it?

0:55:22 > 0:55:25You coming round to check on me?

0:55:27 > 0:55:31I haven't been exactly straight up with you...Mrs Cotton.

0:55:33 > 0:55:35I wanted to, but I...

0:55:35 > 0:55:36Who are you?

0:55:36 > 0:55:37I'm Charlie.

0:55:37 > 0:55:39Charlie Cotton.

0:55:41 > 0:55:44Same name as my old man.

0:55:44 > 0:55:46I was named after my grandfather.

0:55:48 > 0:55:50What do you mean?

0:55:52 > 0:55:53Your son, Nick...

0:55:54 > 0:55:56..he was my dad.

0:55:59 > 0:56:02CAROL SCRAPES TOAST LOUDLY

0:56:03 > 0:56:06Are you buttering that or making breadcrumbs(?)

0:56:06 > 0:56:08Give us it here. SHE SIGHS

0:56:08 > 0:56:11Bet Kat's rubbing her hands together.

0:56:11 > 0:56:14The trial starting today - her moment of glory only a few days away.

0:56:14 > 0:56:17Look, no-one likes to stand up in court.

0:56:17 > 0:56:21- Besides, you've got more important things to worry about. - I bet Janine's paid her off.

0:56:21 > 0:56:23Moneybags Butcher meets brassic Kat Moon,

0:56:23 > 0:56:25a marriage made in heaven.

0:56:25 > 0:56:28- I should go round there again... - You're not going anywhere.

0:56:28 > 0:56:31Cos you're going to go and sit down and eat this.

0:56:31 > 0:56:34You're not spending all day having chemo with nothing in your stomach.

0:56:34 > 0:56:36- She's laughing at us. - Oh - marmalade.

0:56:36 > 0:56:40- I don't want marmalade! - Yes, you do.- I don't.

0:56:40 > 0:56:42Oh, yes, you do...

0:56:46 > 0:56:48Saw it down the market.

0:56:48 > 0:56:50I thought about you. Two for a fiver.

0:56:50 > 0:56:52Oh, David...

0:56:52 > 0:56:53Well, try it on, then.

0:56:56 > 0:56:59I was going to make a real song and dance about it -

0:56:59 > 0:57:02you know, tie it to the foot of a dove, or...

0:57:02 > 0:57:05But then I thought, what with everything that's going on...

0:57:06 > 0:57:09Do you like it?

0:57:09 > 0:57:11It's perfect.

0:57:13 > 0:57:14Mwah.

0:57:15 > 0:57:17Oh...!

0:57:19 > 0:57:23Are you worried about standing up in court and facing Janine?

0:57:24 > 0:57:26Well, she's made her bed, ain't she?

0:57:29 > 0:57:31I've just got to go somewhere.

0:57:31 > 0:57:34Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh! What about your breakfast?

0:57:34 > 0:57:35Don't worry.

0:57:40 > 0:57:44That's me all done. I hope the burger van'll feed the hungry citizens of Walford.

0:57:44 > 0:57:46Want to get changed and walk me over?

0:57:46 > 0:57:48No, I've asked Tracey to cover me on the stall.

0:57:49 > 0:57:54Oh, right. What, you going to sit here, draw the curtains, hide from Carol. Is that it?

0:57:55 > 0:57:59If she sees me out there acting like nothing's happened she's going to go nuts.

0:57:59 > 0:58:01If you were telling the truth, you'd be on that stall

0:58:01 > 0:58:06with your war paint on, not giving a monkey's who was having a pop at you.

0:58:06 > 0:58:09Kat, you've got to act like you believe it, all right? Otherwise no-one else will.

0:58:11 > 0:58:13See you later.

0:58:18 > 0:58:22Mrs B! Mrs B, I said that I would do that later when I've got home.

0:58:22 > 0:58:25Well, you know what they say, Arthur. Idle hands.

0:58:27 > 0:58:31Erm...how about I make you a cup of tea before I go, yeah?

0:58:35 > 0:58:37You know - maybe we can give Charlie a call?

0:58:41 > 0:58:45I mean - you and him, you did get on, right?

0:58:45 > 0:58:49Yes, well, we talked pleasantries, that's all. I hardly know him.

0:58:49 > 0:58:52Well, apart from the fact that he's family.

0:58:52 > 0:58:54And he wants to get to know you.

0:58:54 > 0:58:56Well, it won't bring Nick back, will it?

0:58:56 > 0:58:58I won't be able to talk to HIM again, see HIM.

0:59:01 > 0:59:04Mrs B. Look...

0:59:04 > 0:59:07Go on, give Charlie a call. For me.

0:59:07 > 0:59:11But what if we don't hit it off? What if he's got funny ideas?

0:59:11 > 0:59:14I'll come in, and, you know, I'll check on ya.

0:59:14 > 0:59:17You give me the wink and I'll have him out,

0:59:17 > 0:59:20- Old Bill or not. - All right! Just for you.

0:59:26 > 0:59:28Alice needs to see our faces in court,

0:59:28 > 0:59:30see that her family hasn't given up on her.

0:59:30 > 0:59:33I'd go myself, only I've got to go to chemo this morning.

0:59:33 > 0:59:36I would as well, but I've got a couple of motors coming in later.

0:59:36 > 0:59:39Anyway, Janine's guilty as sin. Alice'll get off in a couple of days.

0:59:39 > 0:59:43No. Janine's got Kat lying for her, saying that she saw the whole thing and it was Alice who killed Michael.

0:59:46 > 0:59:49Right, well, I'll see if I can get Lauren to cover this place for a bit.

0:59:49 > 0:59:52Well, I'm booked in for ten, I should be finished by lunchtime

0:59:52 > 0:59:56- then I'll come over to the court and join you.- No, don't be daft.

0:59:56 > 0:59:59Just let us hold the fort for a while. You've got enough on your plate, ain't ya?

0:59:59 > 1:00:03Everybody says that like it's a bad thing.

1:00:03 > 1:00:04Bianca and Sonia, they've been tested -

1:00:04 > 1:00:06I don't suppose you've got round to it yet?

1:00:06 > 1:00:09Er, no. No, not yet.

1:00:09 > 1:00:12I will do, you know. When things settle down.

1:00:12 > 1:00:16So are you going to mention that bling you're dragging about or do I have to ask?

1:00:16 > 1:00:19Am I an old fool to be doing all this again, eh?

1:00:19 > 1:00:21Mm?

1:00:21 > 1:00:22Course you ain't.

1:00:26 > 1:00:30Right, you lucky people, what better way to kick start your day than with an Alfie burger?

1:00:30 > 1:00:33We've got spicy onion rings, a bit of coleslaw as well

1:00:33 > 1:00:35and this is on the house, especially for you, my friend.

1:00:35 > 1:00:39- Oh, nice one, Alfie, cheers. - There you go. Keep that pretty face of yours nice and clean.

1:00:39 > 1:00:41What can I get you, sweetheart...?

1:00:43 > 1:00:46Er - Mas...?

1:00:46 > 1:00:49Hey. Good night's sleep?

1:00:49 > 1:00:52Mmm. I thought I'd say thanks by cooking for everyone tonight.

1:00:52 > 1:00:56You don't need to do that. The kids tend to take care of themselves.

1:00:56 > 1:00:59- Me, I live like a king off cereal and leftovers.- Mmm...

1:00:59 > 1:01:01Dinner'll be on the table at 7:30.

1:01:03 > 1:01:05How long's she staying?

1:01:05 > 1:01:08She's a guest. She can stay as long as she wants.

1:01:09 > 1:01:11A guest...

1:01:31 > 1:01:32Cheers, Mum.

1:01:48 > 1:01:52Not to tell you how to suck eggs, but this place might do better if you opened for breakfast.

1:01:52 > 1:01:54Two jokes in two days! Must be a record for you.

1:01:54 > 1:01:56I wasn't joking about closing the restaurant.

1:02:00 > 1:02:02I'm not talking about shutting permanently.

1:02:02 > 1:02:06Just long enough to turn the place into somewhere people actually want to eat.

1:02:06 > 1:02:09You know, where they can wear jeans and order off the kiddie menu.

1:02:09 > 1:02:13- Sounds like hell. - Just hear me out.

1:02:13 > 1:02:15I promise it's not as bad as you're imagining.

1:02:15 > 1:02:18I haven't really got time. The decorators are coming in five minutes.

1:02:18 > 1:02:21You've got professional decorators to do this place?

1:02:21 > 1:02:23Well, Scarlett's is on the up, I thought I'd give it a makeover.

1:02:23 > 1:02:26More fool me.

1:02:26 > 1:02:27Scarlett's is on the up?

1:02:28 > 1:02:33Oh, right, so if you had YOUR way, I'd still be wearing an apron doing fried egg sandwiches, yeah?

1:02:33 > 1:02:35Well, it was good enough for your mum.

1:02:35 > 1:02:37Yeah, and she wanted something better for me.

1:02:37 > 1:02:40Do you know how hard I had to fight not to be a barrow boy like my old man?

1:02:40 > 1:02:44- To even get to catering college in the first place? - PHONE RINGS

1:02:44 > 1:02:46Hello?

1:02:46 > 1:02:48Yeah, speaking.

1:02:49 > 1:02:51Right...

1:02:52 > 1:02:54Oh, you are joking?!

1:02:54 > 1:02:56No, I can't open up, I haven't got any staff!

1:02:56 > 1:02:58Yeah, thanks a bunch.

1:02:58 > 1:03:00Was that the decorators?

1:03:00 > 1:03:03A day's takings down the pan. Why do people always let you down?

1:03:11 > 1:03:13Kat didn't have the guts to face anyone this morning, then?

1:03:13 > 1:03:17- She called in sick. "Women's problems". I didn't ask questions. - Running scared, more like.

1:03:17 > 1:03:19You know that the trial starts today?

1:03:19 > 1:03:20Good morning to you as well.

1:03:20 > 1:03:22I haven't got time to mess about, Tamwar.

1:03:22 > 1:03:26- I know that you and Alice had your problems... - Pretty big problems, actually.

1:03:26 > 1:03:29No - you wrote her a letter. And she said that really lifted her spirits.

1:03:29 > 1:03:33Just go along and sit in the gallery - that's not too much to ask, is it?

1:03:33 > 1:03:35Leave me alone.

1:03:48 > 1:03:51Kat! You all right?

1:03:51 > 1:03:52Yeah.

1:03:52 > 1:03:56- Who's on the stall?- Oh, Tracey opened up cos my alarm didn't go off.

1:03:56 > 1:03:58- Listen, about last night... - That's between you and my mum.

1:03:58 > 1:04:03You're my best mate, I know you wouldn't lie to me, but I just wish you'd said something.

1:04:03 > 1:04:06Yeah, you and me both, but I just haven't been thinking straight,

1:04:06 > 1:04:08what with Michael and everything else...

1:04:10 > 1:04:12I've got to go.

1:04:12 > 1:04:14Finally crawled out from under your rock, have you?

1:04:14 > 1:04:17- Oi! I'm talking to you. - Mum! Stop it.

1:04:17 > 1:04:19Do you know what, you are a liar, Kat. A liar!

1:04:19 > 1:04:23Come on, Mum. Look, Terry's waiting in the cab, we're going to be late.

1:04:23 > 1:04:25What, you're coming with me?

1:04:25 > 1:04:27Yes. Come on, I thought we'd have a family day.

1:04:27 > 1:04:30- We've done Thorpe Park, haven't we(?) - You all right?

1:04:30 > 1:04:32Right, I've got every trashy magazine imaginable,

1:04:32 > 1:04:34and a couple of packets of sucky sweets.

1:04:34 > 1:04:35What more could we want, eh?

1:04:35 > 1:04:39I get to spend the morning with my entourage and you have to go to court on your own,

1:04:39 > 1:04:41- it doesn't seem fair. - I'm fine, Carol.

1:04:41 > 1:04:43How many more times have I got to say it?

1:04:45 > 1:04:47He's just, erm... He's just nervous, that's all.

1:04:47 > 1:04:50Come on, ladies. We going to the hospital or having a meeting of minds?

1:04:50 > 1:04:52Yes, all right. We're coming!

1:04:52 > 1:04:55We'll have to get a new kitchen once we get the new house.

1:04:55 > 1:04:58- What, brand-new? - Well, yeah, I don't want to think of Michael's bleeding corpse

1:04:58 > 1:05:00every time I stick the kettle on, do I?

1:05:03 > 1:05:05Ron, what's happened?

1:05:05 > 1:05:07Er... Nothing. It's kids, that's all.

1:05:07 > 1:05:09Why would kids write something like that?

1:05:09 > 1:05:11Well, why would kids do anything?

1:05:11 > 1:05:15- Pass us the scrubber. - No. It's fine, I'm handling it.

1:05:15 > 1:05:19Come on, I didn't spend all day handing out leaflets for this place to stay shut.

1:05:19 > 1:05:24Open up, all right? Let the boys pump iron or whatever it is they do.

1:05:24 > 1:05:26Everything's going to be OK.

1:05:28 > 1:05:29OK, here you are.

1:05:29 > 1:05:30Eurgh!

1:05:32 > 1:05:34- Gross.- Come on!

1:05:42 > 1:05:44CHURCH BELL RINGS

1:06:09 > 1:06:14If you feel like imparting some wisdom from beyond the grave, Mum...now'd be a good time.

1:06:20 > 1:06:23- I'll be back in a minute. - All right, cheers, yeah.

1:06:23 > 1:06:26Always think it makes a difference having people with you.

1:06:26 > 1:06:29Well, you know, it's nice to have someone to natter to when it gets boring.

1:06:29 > 1:06:31You all right, love?

1:06:31 > 1:06:35Yeah. I was just thinking maybe we could take it in turns, you know, do shifts -

1:06:35 > 1:06:37one of us sits with you, the other does a tea run.

1:06:37 > 1:06:41It's all right, this, though. It's been ages since I've sat down and read a magazine.

1:06:41 > 1:06:43I'm glad someone's having fun.

1:06:43 > 1:06:48Most folks start losing their hair after the first round - but you're still going strong.

1:06:48 > 1:06:50Must be a genetic thing.

1:06:51 > 1:06:55Listen, why don't you both go and do the tea run while I get sorted?

1:06:55 > 1:06:56Yeah.

1:07:12 > 1:07:13All right?

1:07:16 > 1:07:20Well, I know what I'M doing here, Ian. What about you?

1:07:23 > 1:07:25I came to visit Dad.

1:07:27 > 1:07:29I felt like I owed him an apology, he erm...

1:07:31 > 1:07:35He always reckoned that me having a restaurant was a pie in the sky idea.

1:07:35 > 1:07:38- Did he? - Mm. Guess I should have listened.

1:07:41 > 1:07:43You really are the master of the glass half empty, ain't ya, Ian?

1:07:46 > 1:07:48Come on, you've got beautiful children.

1:07:48 > 1:07:51You've got more businesses than I've had hot dinners.

1:07:51 > 1:07:53A chippy and a greasy spoon?

1:07:53 > 1:07:55Yeah. So, what?

1:07:57 > 1:08:01One thing I've always admired about you, mate -

1:08:01 > 1:08:03you've always put your family first. Always.

1:08:05 > 1:08:09You do what's best for 'em. Even if they don't thank you for it.

1:08:12 > 1:08:14Thanks. I think.

1:08:17 > 1:08:22If he'd been a proper dad to me and brought us up...together, you know...

1:08:22 > 1:08:24do you reckon me and you would've got on?

1:08:28 > 1:08:29Depends.

1:08:32 > 1:08:34Would you still have slept with my wife?

1:08:37 > 1:08:40I have to be honest, Ian - it's a distinct possibility.

1:08:41 > 1:08:43DAVID CHUCKLES

1:08:43 > 1:08:47So, in this parallel universe

1:08:47 > 1:08:49do you reckon...

1:08:49 > 1:08:52do you reckon my mum would have still married Frank?

1:08:53 > 1:08:58I don't think there's any force in any universe that would've kept those two apart.

1:08:58 > 1:09:00No.

1:09:00 > 1:09:03So whatever way you look at it...

1:09:03 > 1:09:07I seem to be stuck with her, don't I? Janine.

1:09:11 > 1:09:14You probably won't be allowed, but erm...

1:09:14 > 1:09:16if you get a chance to talk to her later,

1:09:16 > 1:09:18could you say good riddance from me?

1:09:18 > 1:09:20Hey...

1:09:23 > 1:09:27She was just a messed-up child, weren't she, really?

1:09:27 > 1:09:29Just messed up.

1:09:31 > 1:09:35And I'll tell you something else - she hasn't changed much.

1:09:38 > 1:09:41I've got to go.

1:10:00 > 1:10:03Oh! Sorry. Sorry, I didn't realise there was anyone in here.

1:10:03 > 1:10:05Are you a member?

1:10:06 > 1:10:10- How long you owned this place then? - Well, I've just bought it, actually.

1:10:10 > 1:10:12And you don't mind?

1:10:12 > 1:10:15Lone woman running a gym.

1:10:15 > 1:10:18Big burly blokes round the whole time?

1:10:18 > 1:10:20Sorry, I didn't catch your name?

1:10:21 > 1:10:23Your name?

1:10:23 > 1:10:25I'll have to get back to you on that one.

1:10:35 > 1:10:37That woman's right, you know. Everything's genetic.

1:10:37 > 1:10:39Well, I'm trying not to think about it.

1:10:39 > 1:10:42Well, Mum is going to get worse before she gets better.

1:10:42 > 1:10:44- Can we not do this now, please? - No! No, I have to.

1:10:44 > 1:10:48Because if I don't say it, I don't get it off my chest I feel like I'm going to explode!

1:10:48 > 1:10:53Well, the nurses'll love you, there's nothing like a bit of human combustion to brighten a dull shift.

1:10:57 > 1:11:00Oh, no... Why are we laughing?

1:11:05 > 1:11:07Now, listen, we have to make a pact.

1:11:07 > 1:11:10When we're in there with Mum we have to act as if everything's all right.

1:11:10 > 1:11:13Cos she's got enough to worry about without us adding to it, all right?

1:11:13 > 1:11:17- Yeah. And everything IS going to be all right.- Yeah. Course it is.

1:11:26 > 1:11:29- You didn't need to go to all this trouble.- No trouble.

1:11:34 > 1:11:37Sorry for...making things worse for you yesterday,

1:11:37 > 1:11:40springing myself on you like that.

1:11:40 > 1:11:44It was just, a mate down the station, he heard the name Cotton, told me what had happened and

1:11:44 > 1:11:46I wanted to be the one to tell you.

1:11:46 > 1:11:49Don't matter who tells you, something like that.

1:11:50 > 1:11:56I just thought maybe me and you getting to know each other could be a...silver lining.

1:11:56 > 1:11:59What, a third grandchild out of the blue?

1:11:59 > 1:12:01And you're grown up.

1:12:01 > 1:12:05I didn't see Ashley till he was about seven.

1:12:05 > 1:12:07Same with little Dotty.

1:12:07 > 1:12:09Only she weren't Dotty.

1:12:09 > 1:12:13"We named her after you, Ma." Her name was Kirsty.

1:12:14 > 1:12:20So, there was Zoe and Ashley and Sandy and Dotty. Who's YOUR mother, then?

1:12:20 > 1:12:22Her name's Yvonne.

1:12:22 > 1:12:25She met my dad when he came out of borstal, and she was a nurse.

1:12:25 > 1:12:29- Nurse? - Yeah, they got married when they found out I was on the way.

1:12:29 > 1:12:31Oh, so you're legitimate.

1:12:31 > 1:12:33Yeah.

1:12:33 > 1:12:36But he never settled on the outside.

1:12:36 > 1:12:40He kept getting into trouble, letting her down and...

1:12:40 > 1:12:41one day he was off.

1:12:43 > 1:12:45Just like your grandfather.

1:12:45 > 1:12:48He left me and Nick when Nick was a baby.

1:12:48 > 1:12:50- Milk?- Please.

1:12:51 > 1:12:53Has your mother got any relatives?

1:12:53 > 1:12:57No. It's just me and her.

1:12:57 > 1:12:59I've got you now, haven't I?

1:13:02 > 1:13:03Hello?

1:13:03 > 1:13:06I got a spare key from Lucy. Thought I'd lend a hand.

1:13:06 > 1:13:07You didn't have to.

1:13:07 > 1:13:12No, I know I didn't have to, but you've got a lot on your plate and Bobby's at school all day.

1:13:15 > 1:13:19Are you just going to stand there? Or are you going to pick up a brush and help?

1:13:30 > 1:13:31I've got a few quid saved up.

1:13:33 > 1:13:36I'd like to pay for the funeral if you'll let me, give my dad a decent sendoff.

1:13:36 > 1:13:38I can bury my own son, thank you very much.

1:13:38 > 1:13:43Anyway, you hardly knew him, you said so yourself. He left you when you was little.

1:13:43 > 1:13:45I know - but I just thought...

1:13:45 > 1:13:46You ain't my Nick.

1:13:46 > 1:13:48I don't know who you are.

1:13:48 > 1:13:50FRONT DOOR OPENS

1:13:50 > 1:13:52I don't want you. I want my Nick.

1:13:52 > 1:13:55- I'm sorry... - I don't know you. I want my Nick.

1:13:55 > 1:13:58- Mrs B?- I want my Nick. - What did you say to her?!- Nothing...

1:13:58 > 1:14:00- Well, what did you do?- Noth...

1:14:00 > 1:14:02Nothing, honestly. I should go.

1:14:02 > 1:14:04Yeah. You know what, I think that's a good idea.

1:14:04 > 1:14:08- I want my Nick... - Mrs B.- I want my Nick.

1:14:16 > 1:14:19Hey. You all right, David?

1:14:19 > 1:14:22Eh? Oh - Max, hi. No Carol?

1:14:22 > 1:14:25- No, no, she's coming straight from chemo.- Oh, of course. Yeah.

1:14:25 > 1:14:27- Nice rock you got her this morning. - Yeah...

1:14:27 > 1:14:31Well, I thought - court AND chemo. I've got to do something to make this day sound better!

1:14:31 > 1:14:34- Max...- There she is.- All right?

1:14:34 > 1:14:36- You all right? - Thanks for coming. Yeah.

1:14:36 > 1:14:38Where's Bianca?

1:14:38 > 1:14:40She had to go back for the kids.

1:14:40 > 1:14:41You not gone in yet?

1:14:41 > 1:14:44No, in a minute. They've just gone back in after lunch.

1:14:44 > 1:14:46Right.

1:14:46 > 1:14:49Do you want to go in and get a couple of seats at the front and I'll be in in a minute.

1:14:49 > 1:14:51- Er, yeah, course, yeah. - PHONE RINGS

1:14:51 > 1:14:54- Good luck.- Cheers, Max, yeah. Ta.

1:14:56 > 1:14:58- Do you want to sit down? - Er, yeah, yeah.

1:15:00 > 1:15:02How'd you get on?

1:15:02 > 1:15:05Well, I think I'll go on my own next time.

1:15:05 > 1:15:07Did Bianca gob off at all the nurses?

1:15:07 > 1:15:09No, no, no, she was lovely. Her and Sonia.

1:15:09 > 1:15:12It's just that...you have to put certain things to the

1:15:12 > 1:15:16- back of your mind when they're there, that's all.- Yeah.

1:15:17 > 1:15:19We've got a lot going on, you and me -

1:15:19 > 1:15:22but we're on the same side.

1:15:22 > 1:15:23That's what this means.

1:15:24 > 1:15:27Look, I'll erm...I'll be waiting for you when you're done, OK?

1:15:27 > 1:15:28Yeah. Thanks.

1:15:30 > 1:15:32See ya.

1:15:37 > 1:15:40Ronnie, you couldn't do me a massive favour, could you?

1:15:40 > 1:15:44Well, if it involves looking after this little one...

1:15:44 > 1:15:45I'm going to jump at the chance.

1:15:45 > 1:15:49Well, I've got this old client from the salon wants her nails doing for some wedding.

1:15:49 > 1:15:51I'd only be for a couple of hours.

1:15:51 > 1:15:52Yeah, yeah. Go on, take your time.

1:15:52 > 1:15:55Don't be surprised if you come back and find her getting all spoilt.

1:15:55 > 1:15:57- Thanks, Ronnie, you're a life-saver. - OK.

1:15:57 > 1:16:00- Have fun with your Auntie Ronnie, then!- Say bye, Mummy.

1:16:00 > 1:16:01- See you later.- See ya.

1:16:03 > 1:16:06Yeah, she's gone, hasn't she? Where's she going to go? She'll come back later...

1:16:45 > 1:16:47- CLERK:- Court rise.

1:16:59 > 1:17:02(Where's Alice?)

1:17:02 > 1:17:04Members of the jury,

1:17:04 > 1:17:09the defendant, Alice Branning, is not in court for this trial.

1:17:09 > 1:17:16She is, however, ably represented by Learned Counsel Mr Alderton.

1:17:16 > 1:17:22Now, we are not to speculate as to WHY she is not in court.

1:17:22 > 1:17:24The case can continue without her presence

1:17:24 > 1:17:29because her barrister is fully prepared to conduct her defence.

1:17:29 > 1:17:32(Where is she?)

1:17:32 > 1:17:35Is that clear?

1:17:35 > 1:17:37I am obliged to you for your attention.

1:17:39 > 1:17:41The prosecution may proceed.

1:17:41 > 1:17:46Thank you, your Honour. The prosecution would now like to call Mr David Wicks.

1:18:05 > 1:18:09Seems like a million years since we did decorating together.

1:18:11 > 1:18:14Do you remember when we did the living room at your old place?

1:18:16 > 1:18:20For goodness' sake, Ian. I've offered to invest in your business, you could talk to me.

1:18:24 > 1:18:26You know what, I've had this caff for years.

1:18:26 > 1:18:30- You know what I've been thinking all that time?- Bacon baps(?)

1:18:30 > 1:18:31I want to be a chef.

1:18:32 > 1:18:35A proper chef, with my own restaurant.

1:18:35 > 1:18:37All this would be a distant memory.

1:18:38 > 1:18:40You'll still HAVE a restaurant, Ian.

1:18:40 > 1:18:44Look, what's more important - winning Michelin stars or feeding your community?

1:18:45 > 1:18:49Look, I'm not trying to ruin your dream, I'm trying to help you get it.

1:18:49 > 1:18:52I want you back in the kitchen, cooking proper food, doing what you do best.

1:18:54 > 1:18:56I'd be in the kitchen all the time?

1:18:58 > 1:19:01- No more front of house? - No, we'll hire someone to show punters the menus.

1:19:04 > 1:19:07I've got a few bookings this weekend, and er...

1:19:07 > 1:19:09we could shut up shop after that, couldn't we?

1:19:16 > 1:19:18No further questions, Your Honour.

1:19:21 > 1:19:23Mr Wicks...

1:19:23 > 1:19:25I'd like to ask you a few questions

1:19:25 > 1:19:29about the conversation that you recorded between you and Ms Butcher.

1:19:29 > 1:19:31Do you mean the confession?

1:19:32 > 1:19:38Why did you record your conversation with your stepsister on the day the alleged confession took place?

1:19:40 > 1:19:42Mr Wicks...

1:19:43 > 1:19:45Because if...

1:19:45 > 1:19:49if I got her to say it, then I would have proof.

1:19:49 > 1:19:50Proof?

1:19:51 > 1:19:56Yes, proof that she killed him. Her husband.

1:19:56 > 1:20:01But Alice Branning had already at this point been charged, so...

1:20:01 > 1:20:06what on earth made you think that Ms Butcher was guilty of anything?

1:20:08 > 1:20:12Well, I couldn't say exactly, but erm...

1:20:12 > 1:20:14it was...it was a feeling, you know,

1:20:14 > 1:20:17it was a... It was a suspicion.

1:20:18 > 1:20:21And I didn't want her to get away with it.

1:20:21 > 1:20:24Get away with what, specifically?

1:20:24 > 1:20:27Allegedly killing her husband?

1:20:27 > 1:20:30Or refusing to bail you out financially?

1:20:35 > 1:20:38I'm sorry, I don't know what you're implying.

1:20:38 > 1:20:40Is it true that you recently

1:20:40 > 1:20:42asked your stepsister for money,

1:20:42 > 1:20:44and she refused?

1:20:52 > 1:20:53Answer the question, please, Mr Wicks.

1:20:53 > 1:20:57Yes. I asked Janine for money.

1:20:59 > 1:21:02And you were angry when she refused you.

1:21:02 > 1:21:05Yes, I was, I was... I was very angry.

1:21:07 > 1:21:09She's got more money than most of us put together.

1:21:10 > 1:21:14Bunging us a few quid would've... would've meant nothing to her.

1:21:16 > 1:21:18You were angry.

1:21:18 > 1:21:23So you tried to get your revenge by taping a fake confession and by giving it to the police.

1:21:23 > 1:21:27No, no, no. No, it wasn't like that.

1:21:27 > 1:21:31But you did use the tape to try and extort money from Miss Butcher.

1:21:33 > 1:21:36No. You're twisting it.

1:21:36 > 1:21:38Yes or no, Mr Wicks?

1:21:49 > 1:21:51HE SIGHS

1:21:51 > 1:21:52I just...

1:21:52 > 1:21:56I just wanted to scare her, if I'm honest.

1:21:59 > 1:22:00I really didn't think it would go this far.

1:22:00 > 1:22:04I really didn't think everyone would take it so seriously!

1:22:17 > 1:22:19SHE SIGHS

1:22:46 > 1:22:48You all right, Nan?

1:22:48 > 1:22:50Just had a call from Jean.

1:22:50 > 1:22:52Stacey's gone missing.

1:23:00 > 1:23:02Oh, thank God that's over.

1:23:02 > 1:23:04Is this the bit where we get to go home?

1:23:10 > 1:23:13The barrister took me apart, Carol, there was nothing I could do!

1:23:13 > 1:23:14She took you apart cos you let her.

1:23:14 > 1:23:17You really think I don't know you after all these years?

1:23:26 > 1:23:29We're going to be so happy here, Ron. I can feel it.

1:23:31 > 1:23:33Hey! Stop!

1:23:33 > 1:23:35- Oi!- Stop!- Oi!

1:23:35 > 1:23:39- Go!- Wait. Wait, please.

1:23:39 > 1:23:40Stop...!

1:23:44 > 1:23:47Mum!

1:23:47 > 1:23:50Mum, will you just slow down? Just calm down, will you?

1:23:50 > 1:23:52I'm done with being calm!

1:23:52 > 1:23:55- Tracey. Where is she?- Erm, I don't know. Really, honestly, I don't...

1:23:55 > 1:23:56Trace, I'll take it from here.

1:23:56 > 1:23:59That's what we're doing now - washing our dirty linen in public?

1:23:59 > 1:24:02I've got to get Kat to withdraw her statement, or it's over for Alice.

1:24:02 > 1:24:04Her solicitor said the poor girl is so stressed she won't come

1:24:04 > 1:24:07out of her cell! And I'm supposed to just let that go, am I?

1:24:07 > 1:24:09No, just think about yourself. Think about your health.

1:24:09 > 1:24:12- Listen to Max will you, Mum? - It's all right, B, I'll sort it out.

1:24:13 > 1:24:16Your wife should be ashamed of herself!

1:24:21 > 1:24:24We were on the square. He... He grabbed her,

1:24:24 > 1:24:26he got into a car before we could reach them.

1:24:26 > 1:24:28Look, what are we going to do, all right?

1:24:28 > 1:24:30He could do anything with her! I mean anything!

1:24:30 > 1:24:33Calm down! Calm down. Just breathe. Breathe.

1:24:33 > 1:24:35SHE PANTS

1:24:35 > 1:24:36Phil, I'm so sorry.

1:24:36 > 1:24:39Don't be sorry! Just tell me who it was so I can find the geezer.

1:24:39 > 1:24:43He was in the gym earlier. I think he's connected to Carl.

1:24:43 > 1:24:44So all this is because you,

1:24:44 > 1:24:46you bumped off some two-bob gangster, innit?!

1:24:46 > 1:24:49Look, he can't have taken her to hurt her, can he?

1:24:49 > 1:24:52He's got to have taken her so that he's got something to bargain with!

1:24:52 > 1:24:55And you know that for sure, do you? Eh? MESSAGE ALERT

1:24:57 > 1:24:59Victoria Park, half an hour.

1:24:59 > 1:25:01Look, you can tear a strip off me later, all right?

1:25:01 > 1:25:04Roxy, Roxy, Roxy, you stay here, make sure Billy and Lola

1:25:04 > 1:25:05don't start asking questions.

1:25:05 > 1:25:07What? Phil, how am I meant to do that?!

1:25:07 > 1:25:08Just stay here. Make sure!

1:25:10 > 1:25:12I don't see why we have to come all the way over here

1:25:12 > 1:25:14- to give me a present! - Because I said so!

1:25:14 > 1:25:16Now close your eyes and hold out your hands.

1:25:16 > 1:25:17I'm not Bobby's age!

1:25:17 > 1:25:19Close your eyes or no present.

1:25:21 > 1:25:23Right, now open them.

1:25:32 > 1:25:34No-one is going to take me seriously with that!

1:25:34 > 1:25:36I said I wanted you back in the kitchen.

1:25:36 > 1:25:38I didn't say I was planning on taking you seriously.

1:25:38 > 1:25:40Now, put it on.

1:25:41 > 1:25:42Go on!

1:25:47 > 1:25:49SHE LAUGHS

1:25:49 > 1:25:53We'll stick a knife in your hand and take a photo for the new menu!

1:25:53 > 1:25:55You know what? I forgot how good a good team we make!

1:25:55 > 1:25:57I think we've got a problem.

1:25:57 > 1:25:59Well, no. I meant in a professional way, of course. I mean...

1:25:59 > 1:26:01No. No, no, look.

1:26:06 > 1:26:09How is she?

1:26:09 > 1:26:12I had to send her upstairs to have a lie-down.

1:26:12 > 1:26:16I had to wrestle the furniture polish out of her hands.

1:26:16 > 1:26:18Rest is good.

1:26:18 > 1:26:21You know, I thought if she met her grandson, you know, spoke to him...

1:26:21 > 1:26:22Grandson?

1:26:22 > 1:26:26Yeah, you know, the fed... The copper that gave her the news...

1:26:26 > 1:26:29- Well, that's Nick's son. - Wow!

1:26:31 > 1:26:33All the struggles Dot has been through,

1:26:33 > 1:26:36and she's got a family out there the whole time.

1:26:40 > 1:26:44I thought he would help, but all he done was upset her.

1:26:44 > 1:26:46Well, you know, this all takes time.

1:26:48 > 1:26:51You know what? What Mrs B needs is peace and quiet, all right?

1:26:51 > 1:26:53And I'm going to take care of things.

1:26:53 > 1:26:54She's lucky to have you.

1:27:01 > 1:27:03Well, what was she like before she went?

1:27:03 > 1:27:05Jean must have noticed something.

1:27:05 > 1:27:08They had a bust-up. Stacey wouldn't shut up about getting you

1:27:08 > 1:27:10to change your statement.

1:27:10 > 1:27:12What, and that was it? She just vanished?

1:27:14 > 1:27:17She thinks if she's not around, I won't testify against Alice.

1:27:17 > 1:27:19Hark at Columbo!

1:27:19 > 1:27:20Got all the answers all of a sudden, do you?

1:27:20 > 1:27:23No. No. Just let me think.

1:27:23 > 1:27:24KNOCK AT DOOR

1:27:29 > 1:27:31KNOCKING CONTINUES

1:27:35 > 1:27:36Well, you better think quick!

1:27:36 > 1:27:39Guess who's about to put her fist through the door?

1:27:39 > 1:27:42- < CAROL:- Look, you might as well let me in, cos I'm going to stay here

1:27:42 > 1:27:43all day if I have to!

1:27:44 > 1:27:47Just goes to show you, nothing's safe any more, is it?

1:27:47 > 1:27:49If they hadn't left that grubby sleeping bag behind,

1:27:49 > 1:27:51you'd be none the wiser, would you?

1:27:51 > 1:27:54Thanks, love. If this don't keep them out, nothing will.

1:27:54 > 1:27:56You put those things on garden sheds.

1:27:56 > 1:27:58I could have the locksmith round here in 20 minutes.

1:27:58 > 1:28:01Yeah, who will charge me an extortionate call-out fee!

1:28:01 > 1:28:04No, this'll keep the place secure until I can get some quotes.

1:28:04 > 1:28:06Just bite the bullet and call the professionals, Ian!

1:28:09 > 1:28:12You must've known you were banging your head against a brick wall!

1:28:12 > 1:28:16If I buy quilted bog roll, he almost drops dead.

1:28:16 > 1:28:18Yeah. What was I thinking?

1:28:21 > 1:28:24One minute you're volunteering as a character witness for Alice,

1:28:24 > 1:28:27the next you're saying that you saw her kill Michael. Why?

1:28:29 > 1:28:31Look, Carol, the only reason I let you in here

1:28:31 > 1:28:33is so you haven't got the whole square on their doorsteps!

1:28:33 > 1:28:35What you getting out of this?

1:28:35 > 1:28:39Money? Cos that's all I can think that Janine's got that you need.

1:28:39 > 1:28:41We ain't got time for all this!

1:28:41 > 1:28:44Jean'll get on the blower again if we don't get out and find Stacey...

1:28:53 > 1:28:55- Stacey?- She don't know what she's talking about!

1:28:55 > 1:28:56Max, get her out of here!

1:28:56 > 1:28:58No, no. You know what, it doesn't matter.

1:28:58 > 1:29:01Because I think the police'll be really interested to hear

1:29:01 > 1:29:03- you've seen Stacey recently. - No! We haven't, though!

1:29:03 > 1:29:05Then you better start talking, Kat,

1:29:05 > 1:29:07cos right now I wouldn't want to take me on.

1:29:07 > 1:29:09Not when my family's at stake!

1:29:09 > 1:29:10SHE GROANS AND RETCHES

1:29:12 > 1:29:14- Carol...- Get off me!

1:29:14 > 1:29:17No, you shouldn't be putting yourself through this.

1:29:17 > 1:29:19- You should be at home in bed! - Get off!

1:29:20 > 1:29:23Come on. Come on, I'm taking you home.

1:29:25 > 1:29:26Come on, let's go.

1:29:28 > 1:29:29SHE COUGHS

1:29:31 > 1:29:32HE WOLF WHISTLES

1:29:32 > 1:29:35I thought you was too much of a posh boy to whistle at girls!

1:29:35 > 1:29:38Yeah, well, what can I say? I couldn't help myself.

1:29:38 > 1:29:43- So, I...- Look at this. Look. On page 17. There's...

1:29:43 > 1:29:47There's some childcare courses I thought would be perfect for you.

1:29:47 > 1:29:50- Mmm-hmm.- You could talk to Whit as well, you know -

1:29:50 > 1:29:52she could help you out with your application.

1:29:52 > 1:29:55Yeah. That would be great. At least I wouldn't have to

1:29:55 > 1:29:58lug around this stupid nail polish any more, eh?!

1:29:58 > 1:30:00Well, I better go.

1:30:00 > 1:30:03Just you wait. Lexi's going to be so proud of you.

1:30:05 > 1:30:08- Right, I'd better go read this then, yeah?- OK.- See ya.

1:30:08 > 1:30:09See you later.

1:30:14 > 1:30:16Right, come on. Let's get you indoors.

1:30:16 > 1:30:19No, I'm all right. I just forgot to take my medication, that's all.

1:30:19 > 1:30:22I just need some fresh air and I'll be all right.

1:30:22 > 1:30:26- Carol? You all right?- She's been in a right state, throwing up again.

1:30:26 > 1:30:28You can't keep running around like a headless chicken

1:30:28 > 1:30:31when you've just had chemo! When will you listen to me?

1:30:31 > 1:30:33Take them.

1:30:33 > 1:30:36Don't you dare give me the caring fiance routine.

1:30:36 > 1:30:37Not after what you did.

1:30:39 > 1:30:40I did what I had to do.

1:30:56 > 1:30:57Bianca, it's me.

1:30:57 > 1:30:59Can you get back to the house, please? It's your mum.

1:31:05 > 1:31:07As soon as you get a chance, you go for Lexi.

1:31:07 > 1:31:09I'll deal with the rest, all right?

1:31:18 > 1:31:19Hand her over.

1:31:24 > 1:31:26This is him asking nicely.

1:31:26 > 1:31:29Give it one more second, we'll see the alternative, shall we?

1:31:29 > 1:31:32The last thing I'd ever do is snatch someone's kid from them.

1:31:32 > 1:31:37It's this great lump here, ain't got the common sense he was born with.

1:31:37 > 1:31:39I told him not to, but would he listen?

1:31:39 > 1:31:40Where's Carl?

1:31:40 > 1:31:43Just shut your mouth and hand her over! Come on.

1:31:45 > 1:31:47Go on.

1:31:49 > 1:31:53Hey. Hey, darling, it's OK.

1:31:53 > 1:31:55Oh, I know, I know. Are you OK?

1:31:55 > 1:31:56I know, sweetie.

1:31:56 > 1:31:59Which isn't to say it'd be wise just to walk away.

1:31:59 > 1:32:02Cos like I said, he's as thick as a short plank

1:32:02 > 1:32:04and he knows where you live.

1:32:06 > 1:32:09Are you going to tell me your real name this time?

1:32:09 > 1:32:14I'm Ronnie. Ronnie Mitchell. Roxy's my sister.

1:32:16 > 1:32:18If Carl had just stuck with Kirsty,

1:32:18 > 1:32:20I could have had grandkids older than this one by now.

1:32:20 > 1:32:22But no, he goes off with some slapper!

1:32:22 > 1:32:27Oi! You watch how you talk about my sister.

1:32:27 > 1:32:28Do you understand me?

1:32:28 > 1:32:31They weren't right for each other, were they?

1:32:31 > 1:32:33No, we're agreed about that at least.

1:32:33 > 1:32:39Carl ain't perfect. He's made mistakes, but he's my son.

1:32:39 > 1:32:41And I need to know where he is.

1:32:46 > 1:32:49Just tell me what you know.

1:32:50 > 1:32:53We'll go as soon as we got the truth. You won't hear from us again.

1:32:56 > 1:32:57Please!

1:33:00 > 1:33:03You wouldn't have a mother not knowing where her son is!

1:33:06 > 1:33:08He's dead.

1:33:12 > 1:33:14Carl's dead. All right?

1:33:18 > 1:33:21Did Ronnie say what time she'd be back from the park with Lexi?

1:33:21 > 1:33:24Erm, well, I'm sure she's going to be back really soon.

1:33:24 > 1:33:25So I'll get her to give you a call, yeah?

1:33:25 > 1:33:28I might as well just hang around here till they get back.

1:33:28 > 1:33:30And I tell you what, I can give you some maintenance

1:33:30 > 1:33:32on your nails if you want.

1:33:32 > 1:33:35I need some money now the salon's shut.

1:33:35 > 1:33:37Peter reckons I should give all this up.

1:33:37 > 1:33:40Do some childcare course, something with prospects.

1:33:40 > 1:33:41Sounds good, yeah.

1:33:41 > 1:33:43Well, it just don't make sense, though, does it?

1:33:43 > 1:33:47Leaving Lexi to go and look after some other people's kids.

1:33:47 > 1:33:50And do you know what? I'm actually quite good at this.

1:33:51 > 1:33:53Anyway, French or clear?

1:33:55 > 1:33:57What?

1:33:57 > 1:33:59Go for the clear? OK.

1:34:03 > 1:34:06- Sorry, Phil, it just came out! - Just keep walking, right?

1:34:08 > 1:34:10- You're a liar! - Oi, oi! Back off you!

1:34:10 > 1:34:13Listen, I have told you everything you need to know, all right?

1:34:13 > 1:34:14It's over.

1:34:14 > 1:34:17Course it's not over! How do you know he's dead? What happened?

1:34:17 > 1:34:18Just let go of her now!

1:34:20 > 1:34:23Please! Please, if he is dead,

1:34:23 > 1:34:25if he really is dead, just please...!

1:34:25 > 1:34:26Just move it, will you?!

1:34:26 > 1:34:29Phil, look at her, all right? She wants to know what happened.

1:34:29 > 1:34:31She needs to know what happened.

1:34:31 > 1:34:35Carl was out of control, all right?

1:34:35 > 1:34:37He put him in hospital.

1:34:37 > 1:34:39He terrorised my sister! He turned on me

1:34:39 > 1:34:42when I tried to get him away from her!

1:34:42 > 1:34:46You're his mother! You should know what he was like!

1:34:46 > 1:34:49Carl's gone! Carl's gone and he's never coming back!

1:34:49 > 1:34:51Move!

1:34:54 > 1:34:57You all right? How's Carol?

1:34:57 > 1:34:59She'll be all right.

1:34:59 > 1:35:02She's only forgotten to take her pills, nothing to worry about.

1:35:02 > 1:35:04That's easy for you to say,

1:35:04 > 1:35:06you're not the one shouting at a woman with cancer.

1:35:06 > 1:35:09Here. She's thinking of withdrawing her statement.

1:35:09 > 1:35:10Will you shut your mouth?

1:35:10 > 1:35:14Kat, please. Please, you can't go backing out now.

1:35:14 > 1:35:16This is the only way Stacey's going to get her life back.

1:35:16 > 1:35:19Stacey ain't here! She don't want me to testify.

1:35:19 > 1:35:21She's probably just confused, ain't she?

1:35:21 > 1:35:24- It's no wonder, is it? All the pressure!- No. She's not confused.

1:35:24 > 1:35:26She's terrified that she can't live with an innocent girl

1:35:26 > 1:35:29going to prison. And I don't think that I can live with it either!

1:35:31 > 1:35:33Look, Stacey's probably just gone to somewhere she knows.

1:35:33 > 1:35:35So why don't I have a drive about, see if I can see her?

1:35:35 > 1:35:37All right. You really think you'll find her hiding

1:35:37 > 1:35:39round the back of McKlunky's?

1:35:39 > 1:35:41Well, has anyone got any better ideas?

1:35:42 > 1:35:45All right. I'll be back. Don't do anything stupid.

1:35:47 > 1:35:49Listen, I thought this was supposed to be the easy job!

1:35:49 > 1:35:52This is Kim's castle, this ain't Kim's Palace!

1:35:52 > 1:35:55You got it there, Patrick? All right, I'll drop my side.

1:35:55 > 1:35:57All right, here we go.

1:35:57 > 1:35:59Yeah, man, I knew you wouldn't be defeated

1:35:59 > 1:36:01by a little plank of wood, strong lads like you!

1:36:01 > 1:36:03Little plank of wood, Patrick?! I'm surprised.

1:36:03 > 1:36:05I nearly done my back in!

1:36:05 > 1:36:08Right, listen, you give me Mrs B's blocked drain any time, brother.

1:36:08 > 1:36:10Listen, Patrick, I'm getting back to work, yeah?

1:36:10 > 1:36:14- OK. Thanks again. - Any time.- OK, here we go.

1:36:14 > 1:36:16All right. Got it.

1:36:17 > 1:36:19I've been thinking about Dorothy.

1:36:19 > 1:36:21Yeah, man, this is the last chance she'll have

1:36:21 > 1:36:23to have a family of her own.

1:36:23 > 1:36:26Yeah. I mean, you didn't see what state she was in, all right?

1:36:26 > 1:36:29And I don't want some stranger to come in and stress Mrs B out.

1:36:29 > 1:36:31You know, and this Charlie, you know,

1:36:31 > 1:36:33we don't know if he's playing some kind of angle.

1:36:33 > 1:36:35Yeah, yeah, but she ain't got no money at all,

1:36:35 > 1:36:38and me and half the square, we're watching her back.

1:36:38 > 1:36:41Why would he go to the trouble of coming back if he wasn't genuine?

1:36:42 > 1:36:44I tell you, brother,

1:36:44 > 1:36:47if she gives in to the grief now, she'll never find a way back.

1:36:49 > 1:36:52Is there any way at all you can get me Charlie's number?

1:36:58 > 1:37:02No. Don't you dare try and tuck me in like one of your kids.

1:37:02 > 1:37:03Why won't you just let us look after you?

1:37:03 > 1:37:06You spend your whole time running round looking after everyone else.

1:37:06 > 1:37:09So what, so I'm supposed to just sit on this sofa

1:37:09 > 1:37:14with a blanket on my lap, having cancer for months now, yeah?

1:37:19 > 1:37:20You have got cancer.

1:37:22 > 1:37:24I hate this.

1:37:25 > 1:37:29Being an invalid, everybody walking on eggshells around me.

1:37:30 > 1:37:31Well, we're not!

1:37:31 > 1:37:34You and Sonia have barely even mentioned those tests

1:37:34 > 1:37:37since you've had them done. Huh?

1:37:37 > 1:37:39And I know. I know you're terrified,

1:37:39 > 1:37:43yet you want to wrap me up in a blanket.

1:37:43 > 1:37:47I feel bad enough letting Alice down without letting you down as well.

1:37:47 > 1:37:49You haven't let anyone down.

1:37:50 > 1:37:53I did. I gave her false hope.

1:37:55 > 1:37:58I trusted David to do the right thing.

1:37:58 > 1:38:00Mum, look, you do know he had his reasons?

1:38:00 > 1:38:03You haven't even heard his side of the story.

1:38:03 > 1:38:07Says the woman who takes Terry's head off at the drop of a hat.

1:38:07 > 1:38:11You'd rather have a blazing row with him than hear him out.

1:38:11 > 1:38:15Mum, he wants us to pay through the nose just because Ian's stupid

1:38:15 > 1:38:18little fake step-daughter can't keep her knickers on!

1:38:18 > 1:38:19It's hardly like you and Dad, is it?

1:38:21 > 1:38:22No. No, you're right.

1:38:23 > 1:38:26Terry's thinking about what's best for his family.

1:38:27 > 1:38:30The only person that David's thinking about is himself.

1:38:30 > 1:38:32You do know he's the one who got me here, don't you?

1:38:32 > 1:38:33He is worried sick!

1:38:35 > 1:38:39No wonder me and Terry can't talk to each other properly.

1:38:39 > 1:38:41Wonder where I got that from, eh?

1:38:45 > 1:38:47Look, maybe I should just give her a call.

1:38:47 > 1:38:49- No, no, no, no. - Roxy, am I missing something here?

1:38:49 > 1:38:51DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

1:38:51 > 1:38:55Hello? I thought you'd already be here.

1:38:55 > 1:38:57See? I told you they'd be back any minute, didn't I?

1:38:57 > 1:39:01Yeah. Thanks for doing that, Ronnie. Hey, miss! It's Mummy.

1:39:01 > 1:39:04- Good girl. Say thank you. - Here's her hat.

1:39:04 > 1:39:05Oh, ta. Right, I'll see you lot later, then.

1:39:05 > 1:39:07- See you later.- Bye.

1:39:10 > 1:39:14- Phil, it is not all her fault. - You, just shut your mouth.

1:39:14 > 1:39:15And you, over the Arches, now.

1:39:15 > 1:39:17Anything you've got to say, you can say it here.

1:39:17 > 1:39:20With Amy upstairs and Sharon just about to come home?

1:39:20 > 1:39:22I don't think so. Over the Arches.

1:39:25 > 1:39:27I'll be fine.

1:39:33 > 1:39:34Anything?

1:39:34 > 1:39:38No. I drove round most of east London.

1:39:38 > 1:39:40You know, I would've gone to Brighton

1:39:40 > 1:39:42if I thought she'd still be there.

1:39:42 > 1:39:46You do know that I want her back here more than anything, don't you?

1:39:46 > 1:39:49Yeah, course I do.

1:39:49 > 1:39:50Kat, all you've got to do is hang in there.

1:39:50 > 1:39:53Don't you think I'm trying? I can't sleep.

1:39:53 > 1:39:54Alfie can hardly look at me.

1:39:54 > 1:39:56And I'm driving my best mate's mum round the bend.

1:39:56 > 1:39:58All for someone that don't even want it!

1:39:58 > 1:40:00Stacey'll come round.

1:40:00 > 1:40:04Honestly, Kat, this is the only way we can get her back to Walford.

1:40:04 > 1:40:07You know, where she can be an aunt to your kids.

1:40:07 > 1:40:10That's got to be worth it.

1:40:10 > 1:40:11What about Carol?

1:40:12 > 1:40:15She so much as mentions Stacey to Alice's lawyer

1:40:15 > 1:40:17and they'll start digging.

1:40:17 > 1:40:20Yeah, well, don't worry about Carol. I'll deal with her.

1:40:20 > 1:40:22And how are you planning on doing that?

1:42:06 > 1:42:10Bianca said that you got her to come and look after me.

1:42:10 > 1:42:12Yeah.

1:42:12 > 1:42:15Well, you ain't in the mood to accept my help, are you?

1:42:15 > 1:42:17Let me explain myself. Please.

1:42:19 > 1:42:20Five minutes.

1:42:26 > 1:42:29Look, if I'd known they were going to come after Lexi, I would never,

1:42:29 > 1:42:30I would never have...

1:42:30 > 1:42:33What? What, eh? You wouldn't have killed Carl?

1:42:33 > 1:42:36No. I would never have lied to Mrs White about being Roxy.

1:42:36 > 1:42:37I underestimated her.

1:42:37 > 1:42:40You were supposed to keep your head down, supposed to run the gym

1:42:40 > 1:42:41and get me my money back.

1:42:41 > 1:42:44Instead of that, you go shooting your mouth off and starting a war.

1:42:44 > 1:42:45They know that you did it.

1:42:45 > 1:42:48You think they're going to say no more about it, leave it at that?

1:42:48 > 1:42:51I never intended to say anything. I don't know, I just...

1:42:51 > 1:42:53She wanted to know what happened to her son.

1:42:53 > 1:42:55There was a part of me that felt I owed it to her.

1:42:55 > 1:42:57Are you stupid or what?!

1:42:57 > 1:42:59Look. She is an old woman, all right.

1:42:59 > 1:43:02- She's got a thug of a son. They can't touch us.- Us? Us?

1:43:02 > 1:43:04No, Ronnie. No, this ain't a Mitchell thing.

1:43:04 > 1:43:07- This is a Ronnie thing. - Oh. I'm sorry.

1:43:07 > 1:43:10I didn't realise we were only family when it suited you.

1:43:10 > 1:43:12You crossed a line with Carl.

1:43:12 > 1:43:14And when this comes back to bite you - which it will -

1:43:14 > 1:43:17don't expect me to back you up. Do you understand?

1:43:17 > 1:43:18Whatever's coming, I can handle it.

1:43:18 > 1:43:21Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah? You and whose army, eh?

1:43:25 > 1:43:27DOOR SLAMS

1:43:27 > 1:43:29- Oh, thanks, Peter. - I'll take them into the kitchen?

1:43:29 > 1:43:32No, no, no, you get back to flogging Braeburns

1:43:32 > 1:43:33or your dad'll have your head.

1:43:33 > 1:43:34THEY LAUGH

1:43:34 > 1:43:36- See you later.- See you.

1:43:48 > 1:43:50Peter!

1:43:50 > 1:43:54When I got that confession out of her, I just wanted to scare her.

1:43:54 > 1:43:57Get her back for treating me like a bit of muck under her shoe.

1:43:57 > 1:43:59And the money. Don't forget that.

1:43:59 > 1:44:02Hmm. I'm not proud of that, you know that.

1:44:05 > 1:44:07I saw Ian earlier.

1:44:07 > 1:44:10We was talking about what it would be like

1:44:10 > 1:44:13if I'd grown up knowing my old man. Like a proper family.

1:44:13 > 1:44:16Save me all that messed-up-childhood defence, it doesn't wash with me.

1:44:16 > 1:44:19Pat would have done the right thing. She'd have told the truth.

1:44:19 > 1:44:22Don't kid yourself. My mum would have moved heaven

1:44:22 > 1:44:24and earth to keep that girl out of prison.

1:44:24 > 1:44:26So you admit you let that barrister take you apart?

1:44:29 > 1:44:31It's not pretty, Carol.

1:44:31 > 1:44:36And I know it don't make no sense, but she's family too, isn't she?

1:44:36 > 1:44:37Sort of.

1:44:38 > 1:44:42Maybe she does deserve to go down, but I can't be the one who

1:44:42 > 1:44:45puts her there. Do you understand?

1:44:47 > 1:44:48I understand.

1:44:49 > 1:44:51Family's complicated.

1:44:52 > 1:44:53Yeah.

1:45:01 > 1:45:05- BIANCA:- Mum, have you got a minute?

1:45:05 > 1:45:06Not really.

1:45:09 > 1:45:10It's OK.

1:45:10 > 1:45:12My name's Jake.

1:45:14 > 1:45:16I used to work for Ian.

1:45:16 > 1:45:18I know I shouldn't be here.

1:45:21 > 1:45:24I'm just having a bit of a hard time at the minute.

1:45:24 > 1:45:26Oh, yeah? What's happened?

1:45:27 > 1:45:31My wife left me, took my little girl.

1:45:32 > 1:45:35I'm really sorry for taking advantage...

1:45:37 > 1:45:40I just couldn't spend another night out in the cold.

1:45:40 > 1:45:41DOOR OPENS

1:45:47 > 1:45:48Jake?

1:45:48 > 1:45:51What the hell's he doing here?

1:45:51 > 1:45:55Jake's the one who stayed here last night.

1:45:55 > 1:45:57And I bet you helped yourself to my booze and all, didn't you?

1:46:01 > 1:46:03I'm sorry, I won't be back.

1:46:06 > 1:46:07Listen, wait...

1:46:12 > 1:46:15You should get yourself a hostel or something.

1:46:17 > 1:46:20No-one should have to sleep on a cold floor.

1:46:22 > 1:46:23Thank you.

1:46:23 > 1:46:26Don't tell me you're falling for that hard-luck routine as well?

1:46:26 > 1:46:28Jane's right. Jake, hold on...

1:46:30 > 1:46:35There's a sofa back at ours, it's not much but you're welcome to it.

1:46:39 > 1:46:41I dunno what to say.

1:46:41 > 1:46:43It's fine. It's OK. It's OK.

1:46:52 > 1:46:55Of course Bianca believes Kat, she's her best mate.

1:46:55 > 1:46:58Yeah, and that should mean something.

1:46:59 > 1:47:03Mum, Kat would not lie to me about something like this.

1:47:03 > 1:47:04She wouldn't. I know her.

1:47:04 > 1:47:08- Yeah. And I know Alice.- Well, do ya?

1:47:08 > 1:47:11I'm not being funny. I know she's family and all that but, you know,

1:47:11 > 1:47:13two years ago we didn't even know she existed.

1:47:13 > 1:47:16And now we do. What's your point?

1:47:16 > 1:47:19No, Mum, our point is, we are worried about you.

1:47:19 > 1:47:22You're ill and you're getting obsessed about something

1:47:22 > 1:47:24that's nothing to do with you.

1:47:24 > 1:47:26Bianca believes Kat. And so do I.

1:47:27 > 1:47:29What? Since when?

1:47:29 > 1:47:33Since she talked to me. You know, she explained it all.

1:47:33 > 1:47:35Well, she went looking for Michael on Halloween

1:47:35 > 1:47:37and saw Alice through the window.

1:47:37 > 1:47:41Oh, so Kat saw everything but just conveniently forgot to mention it?

1:47:41 > 1:47:44No, Mum. She was grieving for Michael.

1:47:44 > 1:47:46And anyway, she just wanted to keep her head down

1:47:46 > 1:47:48and basically just stay out of it.

1:47:48 > 1:47:50Yeah. You know, she couldn't do it any more.

1:47:50 > 1:47:53It was doing her head in. So she's finally come out with the truth.

1:47:56 > 1:48:00Carol, I'm sorry, all right? But Alice killed Michael. She's guilty.

1:48:00 > 1:48:02You've just got to drop this now, Mum.

1:48:02 > 1:48:05Cos you're not well and this is going to make you more ill.

1:48:08 > 1:48:09Sorry. Excuse me.

1:48:20 > 1:48:21Thanks for coming, man.

1:48:21 > 1:48:23I was pleased you called, honestly.

1:48:25 > 1:48:28Charlie Cotton. We didn't meet properly before.

1:48:28 > 1:48:31People round here call me Fats, Fatboy, Arthur, Arthur Chubb...

1:48:31 > 1:48:33What are you doing back here?

1:48:34 > 1:48:39- Mrs B, it was me. I called him. - Well, you had no right!

1:48:39 > 1:48:42I'm sorry, but... Look, can we talk?

1:48:48 > 1:48:50Mrs B, do you trust me?

1:48:50 > 1:48:53Do you trust me enough to try and do the best I can for you,

1:48:53 > 1:48:54however I can?

1:48:56 > 1:48:58Nick isn't ever going to be replaced.

1:49:01 > 1:49:04But family isn't even those you grew up with.

1:49:04 > 1:49:08You know, family you don't even have to be you're related to.

1:49:08 > 1:49:10I mean, look at me and you.

1:49:10 > 1:49:12Look at Denise and Patrick.

1:49:13 > 1:49:16We all need family, Mrs B.

1:49:16 > 1:49:18Let us help you through this.

1:49:20 > 1:49:21There's no pressure.

1:49:24 > 1:49:31Well, if you want to do something you can go to Gravesend

1:49:31 > 1:49:35and you can collect Nick's death certificate and bring it back to me.

1:49:35 > 1:49:36No problem.

1:49:37 > 1:49:39Thank you.

1:49:43 > 1:49:45TV PLAYS IN BACKGROUND

1:49:47 > 1:49:51Let me guess, you haven't found her.

1:49:51 > 1:49:55Course you haven't. She's one girl in a big city.

1:49:55 > 1:49:58No-one's going to find her till she wants to be found.

1:49:58 > 1:50:00Just eat your pickled onion, Nan!

1:50:10 > 1:50:11Listen, I talked with Carol

1:50:11 > 1:50:14and I persuaded her you're telling the truth about Alice.

1:50:14 > 1:50:15Did she believe you, just like that?

1:50:15 > 1:50:18Yeah, course. I'm her brother. Why would I lie?

1:50:20 > 1:50:23So, listen. Whatever happens. We stick to the plan. OK? Deal?

1:50:23 > 1:50:25Yeah.

1:50:25 > 1:50:31Max, just tell me all this lying isn't as easy for you as it looks.

1:50:35 > 1:50:36HE SIGHS

1:50:56 > 1:50:58What's his name?

1:50:58 > 1:50:59Sorry?

1:50:59 > 1:51:02When a woman looks the way you look right now,

1:51:02 > 1:51:05there's usually a man involved.

1:51:05 > 1:51:06It's nothing, really. I'm fine.

1:51:07 > 1:51:09Got a bad boyfriend?

1:51:14 > 1:51:17There's lots of guys in here who like punching things.

1:51:17 > 1:51:21If you did have a bad boyfriend, we could, you know,

1:51:21 > 1:51:23sort him out for you.

1:51:25 > 1:51:28And what if it wasn't a bad boyfriend I wanted sorting out?

1:51:28 > 1:51:30What if it was someone else?

1:51:32 > 1:51:34Whatever you need. Any time.

1:52:00 > 1:52:02You didn't tell them where I am?

1:52:02 > 1:52:03No.

1:52:04 > 1:52:06No, it's just you and me.
