0:00:38 > 0:00:39Morning, Lauren.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Blimey, you starting work before me?
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Got to be something wrong in this world, ain't there?
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Well, I've got a business to run, Dad,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and I've got a lot of e-mails to get through.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Are you sure you're up to this, Lauren?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I mean, you shouldn't push yourself too hard.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11I'm fine. I can do this.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40You all right, Pete?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Listen, anything you need today, mate, you just let me know, yeah?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45All right.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Peter, you don't have to do this, you know.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I don't want to think about that rubbish in the papers.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I just want to try and get back to normal.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05All right. Well, maybe I could help you cos Pops has got Lexi for a bit.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I need to do this on my own.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- No, but I could just...- Please.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Are you sure?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Yeah. I'll be fine.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17What time's your appointment?
0:02:17 > 0:02:21It ain't my appointment, No, it's Jim's.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23You see, they thought he was having a fit,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26but it turned out he was choking on a bit of sausage.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27I thought you said it was urgent.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Well, it could be - I mean,
0:02:29 > 0:02:33I know a man who died choking on a bit of sausage.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35I've just done a night shift. I was hoping to get some kip.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Oh. Would you like another cup of coffee?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Mrs B, I can take you, if you want.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Oh, that's ever so kind of you, Arthur,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44but I want Jim to meet Charlie.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47He's ever so looking forward to it.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Ah.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Now, I had these cut, so you can pop in and out whenever you want.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57That's really kind.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Ah, well, you're family, ain't you? My home's your home.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Eurgh. They're all just horrible. They're making me feel a bit sick.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09I like them. This one's my favourite.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Yeah, you should get that one.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15We're just nipping down the registry office.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Yeah, no, that would suit you lovely, Carol.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Yeah, go for it, Mum - it's your wedding,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- you don't want to look like a frump, do you?- Cheers!
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Oh, here you are. Look.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Right, I've got to go.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31And I expect you to have ordered that dress by the time I come back.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Yeah, well, you won't be laughing when I get married in it.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Ta-ta. See you, kids.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Bye.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Bye. Is that a wedding present?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40No, love.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42It's my wigs.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Can I try it on?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45No!
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Come on, then, get it out.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- I forgot which one that you decided to go for.- No. Later.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Here, have some Latvian bread - it's the best, man.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- Smell it. Smell it. - I think I'll pass.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Your loss.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Who drank all my beer?
0:04:14 > 0:04:15It was you, wasn't it?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Hang on, I haven't touched a drop, I swear.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20You're lying.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23It was me.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Really?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Yeah, I came home drunk last night.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I can't be held accountable for my actions. I'm sorry.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Yeah, well, I don't really care which one of you did it,
0:04:34 > 0:04:35as long as it's replaced.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Yes, sir.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Morning, housemates!
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Welcome to your new home.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Let's go out for a drink later - first house trip to the Vic!
0:04:46 > 0:04:50I actually promised to take Roxy out.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53That's all right. The more the merrier! I'm going to unpack!
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Yeah, I better jump in the shower.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02You didn't have to do that.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07You're going through a tough time.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12It must be horrible to be that far away from your kid.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Yeah. Well, it won't happen again, I promise.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Not one new job in weeks.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26We can't live off the flower stall.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29We always knew business would take a bit of time to pick up.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34But how long are we meant to give it before we cut our losses, Les?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37At this rate, all our Paul's going to inherit is a couple of coffins
0:05:37 > 0:05:40to bury us in - and the cheap ones at that.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Don't worry, Birdie, I'll sort it.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Your head's too fat.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52No, it's not! Just squash my hair in.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53It still won't fit!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- I could cut some of your hair off. - Yeah!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Oi, you'll do no such thing - there's no use us all being bald!
0:05:59 > 0:06:01We were just playing.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Come on, you...
0:06:02 > 0:06:04What do you think you're doing?!
0:06:05 > 0:06:07You said that I couldn't try it on,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10but you didn't say nothing about Morgan.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I am so sorry, Mum.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16I hope it looks better on me than it does on you, eh? Go on.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- 20p's 20p!- Yeah, cheers. You dropped your quid.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- You can keep it.- Yeah, I'll keep it, mate! Get lost!
0:06:28 > 0:06:30All right?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32What was all that about?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33I just...
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I short-changed him, yeah, I didn't mean to and he just went off on one.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38OK, listen, I wouldn't worry about it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40It's first thing in the morning. People are grumpy.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42It was just an innocent mistake.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I don't see why he had to have a go at me like that.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Listen, Peter, I know it's your first day back today and seriously,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51everyone's really proud of you, all right?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Anyway, cup of tea for you.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56First brew of the day - it'll set you right up.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Thanks, mate, but I don't need you to look after me.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I just want today to be like any other day, but people keep
0:07:03 > 0:07:08walking on egg shells around me asking me if I'm all right.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Can you just be normal, please?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I understand, mate.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Anyway, you've probably noticed
0:07:17 > 0:07:19there have been a few changes around here of late.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22So, I'm going to give you the heads-up, so pay attention, right?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24The girl in the wheels, that's Donna, bit of a gobby mare -
0:07:24 > 0:07:26imagine Kat and Bianca rolled into one.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Exactly - it's the stuff of nightmares.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30And the lady on the flower stall, lovely lady, Pam -
0:07:30 > 0:07:33she's got a heart of gold, but I mean, she can talk for Britain.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Seriously, you will not get a sore throat in her company.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37All day. All day.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Who's that? - I have no idea.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42All right, buddy? How you doing, yeah?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know everyone.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48The market's so different, you know...
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Listen, you'll get used to it. Listen, enjoy the tea.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52I might get you a biscuit later.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Yes, mate, what can I get you?
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Lauren!
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I forgot you were back on the stall.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Yeah, bit strange, you know...
0:08:03 > 0:08:05but I'd rather be here than back at home.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07That's great, Peter.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Are you OK?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Yeah, I just need to get back, cos, you know,
0:08:12 > 0:08:13I've got work stuff.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Well, if you need help with anything...
0:08:16 > 0:08:18You've got enough on your plate.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24What are you doing?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Unpacking. What does it look like?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41So this is what happens when I take the morning off!
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Checking up on me, are you?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I have come in to collect the account book,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48cos of what happened yesterday.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I should chuck you out on your ear.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I was just resting me eyes.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Where are you off to?
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Just going for a fag.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05I can't seem to get this to work.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Right. Hold on.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Stand clear.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14I haven't had a single customer
0:09:14 > 0:09:18since I short-changed that bloke - d'you think people are avoiding me?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Nah, no, it's just one of them new guys from Spring Lane -
0:09:21 > 0:09:23you know, selling those one-pound fruit bowls.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25So you don't think it's got anything to do with Lucy?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27No, course I don't.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30What you need is a unique selling point - for the Pete Beale brand!
0:09:30 > 0:09:31- Ain't that right?- Yeah.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Martin used to sell juice on his stall, it used to do really well.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36There we go. That's a blinding idea! That's what you need to do,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39get yourself a juicer on your stall, get yourself surrounded by a load of
0:09:39 > 0:09:42gorgeous birds, dying to part with their hard-earned cash.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44All right, mate, I'm sure that'll happen(!)
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Worth a punt though, innit? If you want to take a breather,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48I can keep an eye on your stall for you, yeah?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I thought I told you, you don't need to look after me.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Yeah, I know, but just let me be a friend, yeah?
0:09:55 > 0:09:56All right.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Sorry to bother you on your day off. You been up to anything nice?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I've gone out with my grandson for the day - he's just parking the car.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Oh, how lovely! I'm so jealous.
0:10:08 > 0:10:14My grandson Paul is off travelling the world on his gap year.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I do miss him so much.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Oh, there you are.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Here he is. This is my grandson. He's called Charlie.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Pam - pleasure to meet you.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Hiya. Listen, I'm going to have to head off in a minute -
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I should get some kip before the night shift.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Can't you stop for something to eat?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I wanted to show you my photo album.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Sure. Right, come on, let's get some lunch.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Bye-bye.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Nice to meet you.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Honestly, Pops, you should have seen him.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43I keep trying to help him but he won't let me.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Breaks my heart seeing him like that.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49You've got to be patient, Lo - Peter's a strong boy,
0:10:49 > 0:10:50he'll get through this.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Yeah, and what am I going to do until then?
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Just watch him be miserable?
0:10:53 > 0:10:54No.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00All you can do is be there for him - he'll come to you when he's ready.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Trust me.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I do like being able to pop home for lunch -
0:11:06 > 0:11:08think of all the money we'll save.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I went to do our washing earlier,
0:11:10 > 0:11:12and you'll never guess who I bumped into?
0:11:12 > 0:11:13I don't know, Pam.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Dorothy Branning, and her gorgeous grandson -
0:11:16 > 0:11:19I've completely forgotten his name now.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Charlie.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25That's the one - charming young man, spending the day with his nan -
0:11:25 > 0:11:27you don't often see that in this day and age.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30So is he sticking around Walford for a while?
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I don't know - they were just heading back to Dorothy's for lunch.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Tina!
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Would you mind keeping a couple of things at the Vic?
0:11:47 > 0:11:48It's just our room's a bit cramped.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Why is your stuff more important than mine?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Well, my stuff's all essential, like the bed, and the wardrobe.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Well, these are essential! What am I supposed to wear to a fancy dress party?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Babe, you're 40 years old.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02I ain't taking any of that stuff back,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04so you'll just have to find room for it.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- What's the point? You're just going to leave it all over the floor. - It's all coming out now, eh?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- I forgot you were such a control freak.- And I forgot you were such a slob.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Ooh, having a spot of trouble?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- No, we're fine.- Couldn't be better.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20That's the type of thing people say when they're going to top themselves.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I'm just going to go back and get some more stuff -
0:12:23 > 0:12:24I'll see you back at the flat.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I didn't even have to lift a finger.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32All I had to do was sit back and watch you screw everything up again.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Back off, beast.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38You and Tina playing happy families was never going to work.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40She'll be back in the Vic by Monday.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03How's work going?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07All right, it's just a lot to get my head around.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Are you still worrying about that e-mail?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13No. Well, yeah, kind of...
0:13:13 > 0:13:14but, you know, it's not a big deal.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Look, you tried to talk to me about it before
0:13:17 > 0:13:21and I just cut you off - that was really selfish of me.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Yeah, well, obviously it has been on my mind,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29but, you know, I'm just trying to forget about it.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Yeah, I know the feeling.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Why don't we help each other out? Right, I can give you a hand
0:13:35 > 0:13:38with the business, and you can help me test out a new idea.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- OK.- Yeah? What about tonight?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Yeah, I just... I'm not really feeling that sociable.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I'm not feeling that sociable, either!
0:13:52 > 0:13:55We can be unsociable together.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Yeah, OK, why not?- Yeah?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Peter!
0:14:06 > 0:14:08I made you some lunch.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Thanks, babe, but I've just had something.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12That's all right, take it for later.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- You're going to get hungry out there.- Honestly, Lola, it's fine.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18OK, how about I cook you some dinner tonight?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Cos Pops is taking Lexi to Phil's, so we can have some time on our own.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Actually, I've already made plans.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Plans? What plans?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I said I'd meet Alfie in the Vic.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31We're just going to go through some business ideas.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Well, that ain't going to take all night, is it?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I can have your dinner ready on the table when you get in.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40All right, I'll even chuck in a tub of ice cream if you're lucky.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41How can I refuse?
0:14:41 > 0:14:45I'll let you know when I'm heading home, yeah?
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Yeah.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I just bought us something we can stick in the oven -
0:14:51 > 0:14:53hope you don't mind.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54That's lovely.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06What was that about?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Dunno.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Oh, shepherd's pie. Yeah, Mrs B never liked shepherd's pie.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I think it was to do with that horse meat thing.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Is Kat all right by herself on the stall?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21You've not been in all week.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22She's fine.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Think of all the time she'll have off when she has them babies.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26It's not time off!
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Don't overdo it, eh?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Don't be so miserable. I won't put a lot on.
0:15:33 > 0:15:40Right, now for the finishing touch - little bit of that, and...done.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45- There you go. - Do I look ridiculous?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48No, you look lovely. Dad'll be falling at your feet.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I wonder if it will stay on when we're...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Oh, Mum, that's...
0:16:06 > 0:16:10I didn't mean to upset you. I had no idea you didn't like shepherd's pie.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11How was you to know?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I can't eat salmon now after a bad case of food poisoning.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18No, it was nothing like that.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24It reminds me of your father.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I miss him, too.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32No, I don't mean that.
0:16:32 > 0:16:38You see, sometimes, your father, he didn't do very Christian things...
0:16:38 > 0:16:39What d'you mean?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Let's not talk about it.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44What are these - are they ham or cheese?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Listen, I know my dad wasn't a saint.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51You don't need to protect me from anything. Come on.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52I want to know.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Well...
0:16:56 > 0:16:59he got hold of some poison...
0:17:00 > 0:17:05That's why I've never been able to face shepherd's pie. Ever since...
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Are you saying that he tried to kill you?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13He couldn't go through with it.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It had been going on for some time.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19And Charlie and Ethel, they tried to warn me, but I wouldn't listen.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24But he stopped me from eating the last meal.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29So he must have loved me, just a bit.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I'm so sorry.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41I won't let anything like that happen to you ever again, I promise.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I might share his blood, but I'm nothing like my dad.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47No, you're nothing like him. You're a good boy.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48You're like Arthur.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Look, I don't need to be in work for a little bit yet, so why
0:17:54 > 0:17:59don't I make us a proper dinner and we can look through them old photos?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Oh, I'd like that. But are you sure you've got the time?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Because you mustn't miss your sleep.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Don't worry yourself about that.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09It's not going to hurt to stay up for another couple of hours.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23It's ready.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Great!
0:18:39 > 0:18:40They suit you.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I know.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48I thought you'd have chucked all this stuff out by now.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50It's not so bad.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Not if it means I get to see your face every morning.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Where's the rest of your stuff?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I decided I probably didn't need the monkey costume
0:19:00 > 0:19:02and the inflatable banana after all.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11You know, there is one place
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I definitely don't mind getting messy...
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Keep 'em on.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30That's actually really nice.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Yeah? So you think people will buy it?
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Yeah! They're going to love it -
0:19:34 > 0:19:37you'll literally have the biggest queue on the market.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Thanks for this. Today's been pretty full-on.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Yeah. But you got through it, though, didn't you?
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Yeah, I did, thanks to Alfie, and you.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I didn't really do anything.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52You don't have to. You're there for me if I need you.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55I hope you know I'm there for you, too.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59If there's anything you need to talk to me about, just let me know.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- All right, Lauren? - All right, Max?
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Peter.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08How's work, Lauren, all right? You get through all them e-mails?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Yeah, pretty much, just got a few more to finish off.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Actually, I should leave you to it - I'm just going to nip to the loo.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16All right, see you later.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18What's all this?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Peter's making juice.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Ah. Hello, Mr Cotton.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59So this is your idea of trying to forget about this e-mail, is it?
0:20:59 > 0:21:03I'm sorry - I just can't get this bloke out of my head.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05You're definitely meeting him?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I ain't decided yet.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10If this guy was involved, the police would be onto him.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11Yeah, well, what if they're not?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Lucy was my best mate. I might spot something they've missed.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17You could jeopardise the whole investigation!
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Well, I saw your dad yesterday, all right? And he is a mess.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23He needs closure, Peter - so do you.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26And what if this John Jones does know something?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29What if he's a psychopath?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33We're meeting in a public place. Nothing's going to happen.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37And if you're that concerned, well, you could come with me.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39No, I don't think that's a good idea.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I'm sorry, I don't get it.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- I just don't get it - do you not want to know what happened to your sister?- Yeah, of course I do!
0:21:47 > 0:21:49But it's the police who's going to find out who killed Lucy -
0:21:49 > 0:21:52not someone who didn't even finish college.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Well, at least I'm doing something about it.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I'm not standing around making poxy juices!
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Nothing you can do is going to bring her back, Lauren!
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Why can't you see that?!
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Everything all right?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Yeah. Peter was just going.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28What's the problem?
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Nothing. Just leave it, Dad.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Well, this is a real treat -
0:22:51 > 0:22:53he hardly ever lets me buy biscuits,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55says the sugar goes straight to my head
0:22:55 > 0:22:57and I start talking at 100 miles an hour.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Isn't that right, Les?- Yes, Pam.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Charlie, Mr Coker wants to discuss a few extra expenses
0:23:03 > 0:23:05owing from the funeral.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Oh, yeah? Why don't we talk about it in the kitchen?
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Good idea.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18You're so lucky to have him nearby.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Yeah, well, the trouble is that Charlie don't live in Walford,
0:23:22 > 0:23:23that's the problem.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36What's this about? I don't owe you anything.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Technically, you have paid for the funeral,
0:23:39 > 0:23:43but secrets have a habit of coming out,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46and we all know how this neighbourhood likes to talk.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Are you blackmailing me?
0:23:50 > 0:23:54One word from me and you'd have yourself in a bit of a pickle.
0:23:54 > 0:24:00I'm sure we can agree a reasonable price for my silence.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Here, look, your tea's here, it's getting cold.- Ooh, lovely. Thanks.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- You going to get the other one out? - No, it's for the wedding.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- But I want to see it. - You're as bad as Tiff!
0:24:10 > 0:24:12No, I want it to be a surprise.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I bet you've gone for something really outrageous, haven't you? I bet it's a perm.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Yeah, yeah, I'm going to get married to your dad with a perm,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20wearing that ridiculous dress that Tiff picked out.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Imagine the photos!
0:24:21 > 0:24:23DOOR OPENS
0:24:23 > 0:24:25That would look nice.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Hello.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28In here.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29You all right?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Good day?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34She looks amazing, doesn't she?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Yeah, yeah...you look really nice.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Thanks.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Damn, I think I've left my phone at the office.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43I better nip back cos it might not be there in the morning!
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Won't be long.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51He liked it. He's just probably a bit surprised, that's all.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Yeah, well, he should have the guts to say it to my face, then.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52I knew you'd be a good cook.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54You haven't tried it yet.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Ah! This looks cosy.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Arthur, I thought you was going out tonight.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Why don't you join us?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05No, man. I've got to meet some people at the Vic.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Oh - well, we'll save you some for later.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18You know, it's been a godsend having you around now.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I like having you around, too.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24I wonder if you'd consider moving to Walford.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29I'd be very happy if you were close by. There's flats.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Or you could come and live near me.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I was hoping you wouldn't be here.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51So now you want to meet him?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Come on, Lauren, let's just go, all right?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Leave it to the police.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59No, I can't leave without talking to him.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01That e-mail was addressed to me, not Lucy.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03You can't blame yourself, all right?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06You don't even know this guy had anything to do with her death.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Yeah, well, what if he did? Then it should have been me that died!
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Don't do that.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Lucy had her whole life mapped out,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17and me - what am I going to do with my life?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Are you seriously making this about you?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22You were right about what you said earlier - I am a drop-out.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I ruin everything.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I'm an alcoholic and I haven't even reached 21 yet.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29You're a recovering alcoholic.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32It's not something that's just going to go away -
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I have to live with that every day.
0:27:34 > 0:27:39I've lost my sister! I have to live with that every day.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Now can we please just go?
0:27:42 > 0:27:47I'm sorry, but I need to find out who this bloke is.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52I need to know if it should have been me.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55OK. Well, you know what, Lauren - I wish it had been you.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Peter, I'm sorry.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16You're Mr Jones?
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Lauren, please, just let me explain.
