0:01:04 > 0:01:06You can't go on like this, Shirl.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Bottling it up, drinking yourself into oblivion.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10I've been there, remember?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I told you, I don't want to talk about it. Not now, not ever.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Well, maybe... maybe I'd better have this conversation with Mick.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20You wouldn't dare.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27What do you want?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Repeat business, Ian.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Thought you of all people would appreciate that.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37No. All right, that night was a one-off, OK?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40It's not going to happen again, do you understand?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42That's what they all say.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Sharon!
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Sharon!
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Sharon?
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Sharon!
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Seriously, I don't know where you put that.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Natural metabolism of youth, innit, Pops?
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Well, you do know you're going to be ponying for England tomorrow, don't you?
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Well... Oi, do you think we should wait for Johnny?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Sharon seemed really annoyed about them bouncers.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Just leave 'em to it.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29No. His little face. What if she sacks him again?
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Just turn it in.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32No, I've got to ring him.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Hello, John. Have you still got your job?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Nance, it's Sharon. She's been attacked!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46What? What you talking about?
0:02:46 > 0:02:50She's... There's been a break-in. She's bleeding.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Wait, wait, calm down. Are you all right?- What's happened?
0:02:54 > 0:02:55No, come...
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Yeah, ambulance.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05It's The Albert Bar. Turpin Road, E20.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07She's not moving and she's bleeding...
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Johnny!- Yeah. I don't know. She's breathing but...- You OK? - It's not...
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- I don't know! - Give me the phone.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Calm down, calm down. Now what happened?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- I dunno. I heard this crash and... - She's not conscious. - You sure you're not hurt?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- Yeah. They didn't touch me. - Yeah, she's got a big cut on her head.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Listen, listen, lucky you was here, all right, son? Jump up, come on.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Yeah, OK. We need to stop the bleeding.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32OK, well, then go and get a clean towel from the bar, baby.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I was wrecked that day. I didn't know what I was saying.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37You expect me to believe that, eh?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40And why the big secret, anyway?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Just leave it, Phil. I mean it. - Shirley, I'm not judging you, am I?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46After everything that's happened between us I still care about you, don't I?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Then go tell Sharon, cos I ain't worth it.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52What are you talking about? I mean, having a kid when you're young...
0:03:52 > 0:03:54it's hardly a crime, is it?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59What about if you try to drown 'em in the bath?
0:03:59 > 0:04:00What are you talking about?
0:04:02 > 0:04:07After Mum had left, I tried...
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I tried to keep it together but I couldn't hack it.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16And then one day I just snapped.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20That's the type of person you're talking to here.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22What happened?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Shirley, what happened?!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Mick was about one...
0:04:40 > 0:04:43And we'd been doing some painting and it got everywhere.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45You know what kids are like.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50And I put him in the bath...
0:04:50 > 0:04:52tried to clean him up...
0:04:54 > 0:04:58I didn't know what I was doing until Dad burst in and dragged him out.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04You held him underwater? Your own son?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I never meant to!
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I never wanted that.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14It was just...
0:05:14 > 0:05:19in that one moment...that one moment... The taps were running...
0:05:19 > 0:05:21he was screaming...
0:05:26 > 0:05:29When we got to the hospital, Dad wouldn't let me see him.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35That's when they took him into care?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38No, not at first.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43But things were never the same after that.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51They came back to the house, they saw Dad's empty bottles
0:05:51 > 0:05:53and what a mess I was in.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58And it was only a matter of time before they took Mick and Tina away.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Shirl, that was... It's over 30 years ago.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05You can't keep torturing yourself about it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I have to look at him
0:06:07 > 0:06:11every single day, knowing that I can't really be his mum.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Then maybe I deserve that.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26SIREN WAILS
0:06:38 > 0:06:40'Hi, this is Ian Beale.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42'Leave a message and I'll call you back as soon as I can.'
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I like what you've done with this place.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53Last time I was round here, this was just some old tat-shack, weren't it, eh?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Straight down to business, then?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Just take it and go, all right?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Stay away from me and stay away from the Square. Do you understand?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06What, charming as ever? Ain't you even going to offer me a drink?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08How about something to eat? I'm starving.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Are you serious?
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Don't tell me you've got that nice big kitchen back there
0:07:14 > 0:07:15just for show?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Just so that we're clear, all right? Good Friday never happened.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27You've got to stop punishing yourself. It ain't healthy.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29How old was you back then, anyway?
0:07:29 > 0:07:34- 14, going on 15. - No wonder you couldn't cope.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37It's no excuse, is it?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39And what about the dad? Where was he in all this?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41He'd long gone.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43And your old man. I mean, he never...
0:07:47 > 0:07:52- No, nothing like that. Is that what you think? - I don't know, do I?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Do you remember the first time you fell in love?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Yeah, you do, I can tell.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Andy was his name.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Little bit older than me.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Good looking, nothing complicated.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15One of three blokes that really ever meant anything to me.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19And you and him...?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23First time for everything, ain't there?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27We had a laugh until I found out he got me into trouble.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30And you didn't ever think about, you know...getting rid?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Well, 'course I did. But I was just a kid.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I didn't know what I was doing. It was the '70s. Nobody did.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41By the time I got my head round it, Mum had cottoned on.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43And Dad, after his old man died,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46he wasn't out of the pub long enough to notice.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49But for nine months? You're telling me he never knew?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Mum come up with a bright idea.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54This cock and bull story that they needed some time apart.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I don't know. I never asked.
0:08:56 > 0:09:02We ended up in some grotty little caravan site in the middle of nowhere.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05With Aunt Babe and a chemical toilet.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10And I swear it rained every single miserable day.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Until we got back.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20And Dad had the son he always wanted.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24And me and Tina had a little baby brother.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26And nobody ever asked any questions.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29No, nothing was said. We just carried on.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Aunt Babe and Mum took over and I'd grab a bottle of that,
0:09:33 > 0:09:36go down the park and drink to forget.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39And Mick? He don't know any of this?
0:09:39 > 0:09:43No. And he's not going to.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Why? Why keep on lying?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Because he would never forgive me.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51All these years. Haven't you wanted to tell him?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Of course I have.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56But the longer it went on, the harder it got.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01Once he was taken into care, that was it, I'd lost him.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Blimey.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Shirl, you're both adults now, you're living in the same place.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08You could set the record straight any time.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Too late. 37 years too late.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Well, don't you think it's time you said something?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19What, so he can see what a train wreck of a mother he's got?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21That's right, poor old Shirl, always playing the martyr, ain't you?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Well, he's not going to thank me, is he? Would you? Would anyone?
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Shirley, you're his mum.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29So what? Look at Carly and Deano.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Fat lot of good I did them.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32And don't even get me started on Jimbo.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38Mick, he never had the chance for me to screw up his life.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41He's come through it all clean. Good. Pure.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Perfect.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- Well, don't you think he deserves to know the truth?- No.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Cos I don't want to ruin what we've got now.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52This stays between us.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56SIREN APPROACHES
0:10:58 > 0:11:00There's got to be something in here.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Phil?- Sharon? Sharon?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- Don't move.- Right, listen, it's going to be OK. Just try not to move, please, yeah?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Good girl.- All right, thank you, the ambulance is here.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Right, come on, lively. Lively. - Phil...
0:11:11 > 0:11:13I've got to go and get him.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14That's it. That's it.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17You're all right.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- She's just down there. Round the front.- Round here, please.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- What's her name?- Sharon.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Can you hear me?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Listen, I'm not going to say anything to Mick, of course I'm not...
0:11:33 > 0:11:36but if you need to talk, you know where I am, don't you?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39And you know that you can tell me stuff if you need to?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Just because you're a big hard man
0:11:41 > 0:11:44doesn't mean to say you can't let people in.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46You're drunk.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49And you're bald, but I'll be sober in the morning.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52But seriously, you're a good listener when you want to be.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Means a lot.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Night.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Night.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Phil! Phil, I've been trying to find you.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40What?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- It's Sharon.- What?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Do you think she'll be all right?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Let's hope so, eh?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Sharon!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- Sharon!- Phil!
0:12:52 > 0:12:54She came round. She was talking.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- They got here lively. - What happened?!
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- There was a break-in. - Well, what about the bouncers?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- She sent them home. - She what?!
0:13:01 > 0:13:03That's all I know.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Where was you in all this, eh?
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Listen, it weren't his fault.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I reckon he scared 'em off, didn't you?
0:13:10 > 0:13:11She was asking for you.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Come on, I'll run you up the hospital. Come on.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25It's all changed round here, ain't it, eh?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30My old mum still knocking about?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Or have the fags finally finished her off?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Can you hurry up? You're not here for a chat.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38What about Tanya?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40You all still mates?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42No. She doesn't live round here any more.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Funny how things work out, isn't it?
0:13:46 > 0:13:51I mean, of all the kerbs in all of London, you had to crawl on to mine.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55That night... it was a mistake, OK?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58It was a moment of madness.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I had no idea you were going to be there.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Still couldn't resist though, could you?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Look, you've got to stop doing this, all right?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10You can't keep calling all hours, all right?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12After tonight, I never want to see you again.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15You're breaking my heart, Ian.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Look, you've had your money...
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Ian? Ian, are you in here?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- It's Denise! - I'm game if you are.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Get in the kitchen. Go. Get in the kitchen.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Coming, love...
0:14:36 > 0:14:38What are you doing over here in the dark?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44This is all my fault.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Shut up. How is it your fault? - Sharon wouldn't have sent them...
0:14:47 > 0:14:50she wouldn't have sent them bouncers home if I hadn't messed up.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Do me a favour. Them meat-heads had it coming all night.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56I should've stayed with her but I just...
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- Drink that. - Nah.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05The only ones to blame here are the scumbags who actually did it.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Just don't wake Mum and Grandad, yeah?
0:15:08 > 0:15:12All right. More chance of waking a doped-up elephant.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I just know they'll think I'm weak and soft.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Like I can't look out for myself.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Why? Why would they think that? - You know why.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28John, you have nothing to be ashamed of tonight. You know that, don't you?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30You try telling that to Mum.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33She ain't even bothered showing her face again.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34That's her loss.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Look, Nance, I just want to go get some sleep
0:15:38 > 0:15:41and see how Sharon's doing in the morning. Please, yeah?
0:15:41 > 0:15:42- All right.- Thank you.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44What time do you call this?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Does nobody in this family know how to text?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49So come on then, what's your excuse?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Johnny, what's happened?
0:15:56 > 0:16:01It's getting on for midnight! When you didn't answer your phone, I didn't know what to think.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04I was just sat here thinking about what Peter said...
0:16:04 > 0:16:06and maybe he's right.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Oh, come here.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Hey, look, Peter will come around.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14And you've got nothing to feel guilty about.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16I know. I know.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21OK. Look, after the trial, it'll get better. You'll see.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Look, I know nothing can bring Lucy back,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29but once it's all over and Jake is in prison...
0:16:31 > 0:16:33we can start to put Good Friday behind us, OK?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Come on. Let's get you home.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Look, I'll just clear this up first.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Ian... - I'll be five minutes, promise.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Sharon Rickman. Where is she?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Do I have to find her myself? Or search the place...
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Phil... Phil, you've got to calm down.- Sharon.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I don't need to calm down. I need to find where Sharon is!
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- Can I help?- Sharon Rickman. - I heard you. Are you family?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- Yeah. Well, as good as, yeah. - He's her other half. This is Phil Mitchell.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Where is she? - She's been taken through to resus.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24She has some internal injuries which we're investigating now....
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- How bad? - They're serious but we're working to find the best way to manage them.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32We really are doing all we can for her.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39She was talking though, right? I mean, that's a good sign, isn't it?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Yeah. And the ambulance guys were amazing.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43And are you sure they didn't hurt you?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Yeah!- Sit down, you're in shock. - He's not in shock, Mum.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- Look at him, he's shaking. - I'm not in shock!
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- I'll make us all some hot chocolate. - Mum, just leave it.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- Mums fuss. It's what we do. - How many times? I'm fine.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I can't stop thinking about poor Sharon. I'm going to call your dad.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00He'd have rung if there was any news, wouldn't he?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- What are you all still doing up? - There was a break-in at The Albert.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Mick had to give Phil a lift up the hospital.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- Here you are. - Cheers.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Still no news, I take it?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21No. Just waiting.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Linda called. She said they're all thinking of you and Sharon.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29She said she'd slip round, go and see Dennis,
0:18:29 > 0:18:31see if he's all right if you want.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34No, there's no sense in waking him.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Sure?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38No.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Jay's looking after him.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Might as well leave 'em until we know something.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49You know some people hate the smell of hospitals, don't they?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Disinfectant or whatever it is.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56But me, it just reminds me of when my kids were born.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01Little Nancy, coming out kicking and screaming. Proper little fighter.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Johnny...
0:19:02 > 0:19:05we was in and out of that neo-natal for weeks,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09never knew if he was going to make it.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- Kids, who'd have 'em, eh? - Yeah.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Don't get me wrong, living with Shirl
0:19:18 > 0:19:21and having everyone wrapped round me under the same roof...
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I've never been happier.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Suppose what I'm trying to say is - that smell,
0:19:26 > 0:19:32it reminds me that this place is where people save lives.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33It's where miracles happen.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- Mr Mitchell?- Yeah, what's happening? - Follow me and we can talk somewhere more private.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42I don't need somewhere private. I just need to know how Sharon is.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44She's stable for now but there's still some concern.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- We suspect she may have ruptured her spleen.- Can I see her?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50She's unconscious from the anaesthetic she was given in resus.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52We're preparing to take her into surgery.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56PHONE BEEPS
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Right, your taxi's here. I told it to wait on George Street.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Cost a fortune at this hour.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- I've only got twenties. - Perfect.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Make sure you're not seen.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13I'm so sorry about Lucy, by the way.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Doesn't bear thinking about.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Her last night on earth while you and me were...
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Yeah. Biggest mistake of my life.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26And one that I will have to live with.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29You don't have to worry.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I won't breathe a word.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Thank you.- It's not something you'd want getting out.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Especially given the circumstances.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39No. I appreciate that.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44We'll say the same amount tomorrow then, shall we?
0:20:45 > 0:20:46What?
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Well, what would Denise think if she knew where you really were?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Never mind Peter. - Now, hold on a minute.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I can make it the end of the week, or whenever. I'm easy.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01- You can't do this.- Just chill, man. Sounds like you're getting off cheap.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Just the way you like it.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12I'll catch you next time, Ian.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Well, we was on the phone to the ambulance people,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25but Dad was in there in, like, full action man mode.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I'm so proud of you three.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30He was the one who chased 'em off. He should get all the glory.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- That's my sausage. - It weren't like that.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Don't be so modest. If you hadn't been there to see them off,
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Lord knows what might've happened.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- PHONE RINGS - Sorry, I've still got your phone. It's unknown.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Shall I answer it?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Hello?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50I can't imagine what it must've been like.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52I worry about your brother halfway round the world
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- when something like this happens on your own doorstep.- It's OK.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- After poor Lucy Beale... makes you think, don't it? - It's all right.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02At least you're all right. You should get danger money for riding to the rescue.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Look at you...- MUM! Can you please just leave it? Please!
0:22:10 > 0:22:14That was the police. They're round The Albert now.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Well? What did they say?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19They're going to come here and ask us some questions.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Fine.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Sharon! - You need to wait here.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- I just want to talk to her. - We have to get her up to theatre. It'll be at least a few hours.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- Sharon, I'm here for you, all right? Sharon!- Mr Mitchell, please. - She's in good hands.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Just let them do what they've got to do.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Listen, I'm not being funny or anything, all right, but why don't you get off?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- What, leave you climbing the walls? - I'm fine, OK?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Thanks for what you did, but I can deal with this on my own.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23- You're all right, Mick. I've got this. - What you doing here?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I thought you could use a mate.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30You better get back. Johnny's really shook up.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36If you need anything, Phil, you just let me know, yeah?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Get back to your boy, Mick.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52We'd closed up for the night. I'd gone upstairs to get my coat...
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Were the front doors locked?
0:23:54 > 0:23:59- Yeah. I think so. I dunno. - Can't this wait till the morning? You can see he's shattered.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03It's best if we can get as much detail as possible while it's fresh in your mind.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05It was kind of all over before I knew it, really.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09How many of them were there?
0:24:10 > 0:24:11It was dark.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Take your time. Try to remember.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I don't know. Three, maybe.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24What did they look like?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Uh...it's all a bit of blur. I can't really think straight.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Maybe tomorrow, eh?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33The sooner we can get a description, the better.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I didn't see...
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- How about what they were wearing? - I don't know!
0:24:41 > 0:24:43You must've caught a glimpse...
0:24:43 > 0:24:45I don't know, cos I was upstairs, all right?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48When Sharon was down there, getting battered half to death...
0:24:48 > 0:24:50I sat upstairs and hid.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I think that's enough for tonight, don't you?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57We'll leave it there for now.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00But we'd better speak to your daughter too, if that's OK?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Yeah, course. She's downstairs.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05HE SOBS
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I'm sorry.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12I'm sorry.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Thought you hated these places. - I do. But I owe you.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25How you holding up?
0:25:27 > 0:25:28I'm not the one in surgery, am I?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Still. Must be rough, though.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Look, Phil, you and Mick, you...
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Do you know what, Sharon is fighting for her life in there,
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- so right now I couldn't give a monkey's about your little secret, OK?- Yeah. Sorry.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50So what happened at The Albert? Couple of dodgy punters?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53How the hell would I know? I was too busy listening to your life story, weren't I?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- Oh, so this is my fault? - No, it's mine.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59What do you mean?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12It's all right, they've gone.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Mum, I tried. I tried to tell you.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16You didn't have to lie to us.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19I didn't lie! Everybody just assumed.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Mum, if I could go back...
0:26:21 > 0:26:25We'll have none of that. You did what anyone would've done.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Yeah. Not Dad or Lee or Nancy.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32No, they would have gone down there and taken 'em all on.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36And who raised the alarm in the first place, eh? You did. That's what matters.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41Yeah, but what if... Mum, what if she dies?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44That is not going to happen, you hear me?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I wanted to do something... you know, wanted to go down there and help her...
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I know, sausage. I know. It's OK.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54I don't want another Lee to worry about.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59I'd rather my little boy kept himself out of harm's way.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01What does that mean?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04There's no shame in staying out of trouble.
0:27:04 > 0:27:10We both know you've got more sense than to go flying in with your fists.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- You know, I knew you'd be like this. - What? What've I said?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Mum, I left Sharon to die down there, do you not get that?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18She's laid up in that hospital cos of me!
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Pipe down, pipe down, you'll wake the old boy up.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Now what's the agg?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Well, go on, then, tell him.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Tell him how proud we must be to have this coward in the family.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Johnny...
0:27:38 > 0:27:40You can't blame yourself.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43You weren't to know what was happening.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- What if she don't make it? - She will.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47What if she don't?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Stop worrying about that, and worry about finding
0:27:49 > 0:27:52the low-lifes that did it and making them pay.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53- I can't do that.- Why?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Cos I'm the one...
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I'm the one who sent them over there in the first place.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05What?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08They was...
0:28:08 > 0:28:10They was only meant to scare her.
