0:00:27 > 0:00:30All right, pull it out this way.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36Careful, though! I love a chestnut.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Ho, ho, ho?

0:00:49 > 0:00:52What happened to the Victorian Market? Tamwar put up posters.

0:00:52 > 0:00:53Kathy?

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Well, it was your lookout, weren't it?

0:00:55 > 0:00:58You are part of the Christmas Committee, aren't you?

0:00:58 > 0:01:00And, Pam, I thought you were gonna help out?

0:01:00 > 0:01:02You said I should push the mistletoe and holly.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04In costume!

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Yes, but not everyone has access to the Walford Am-Dram wardrobe

0:01:07 > 0:01:08department, Elaine.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Nice to see you dressing your age, ladies.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13It's Victorian Market day, as if you didn't know.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Oh. Shame no-one else got the memo.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19I suppose I have been spreading myself a bit thin,

0:01:19 > 0:01:22what with the Nativity play and everything.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Actually, talking of which, I better get off.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26Eh? What about the wagon?

0:01:26 > 0:01:28You're going to have to manage on your own. Sorry, love.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Manage what?

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Oh, yeah, go and have a dig as well.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33You think we're dressing like this for fun?

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Go on, Mum, leave the Victorian Market to me.

0:01:36 > 0:01:41Any leftover am-dram costumes upstairs, right, divvy them out.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43I'll fetch 'em. Just let me get these bags inside.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45If you think you can bribe your way back into my good

0:01:45 > 0:01:47books, you can forget it.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51Things get said in anger - don't mean they're set in stone.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52Oh, you reckon, do you?

0:01:52 > 0:01:54MUSIC: We Wish You A Merry Christmas

0:01:54 > 0:01:55See?

0:01:58 > 0:02:00We'll get this market festive in no time.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04Nice try, Babe, but you're out by Christmas. End of.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10I've been calling you.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12I already told Kim, I'm not doing it any more.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15What part of "dead to me" don't you understand?

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Nobody wants to talk to you, Vincent.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19You need to hear me out, I'm not that person any more.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22How could you help the police after the way they've treated

0:02:22 > 0:02:24the Hubbards over the years?

0:02:24 > 0:02:26You are a disgrace to this family.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30I did it FOR the family! Phil's old man killed Dad, didn't he?!

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Murdered your husband in cold blood -

0:02:33 > 0:02:35so if grassing for them is what I had to do to take him down...

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Shut up your nonsense, fool!

0:02:40 > 0:02:45Look at you. Covered in bruises, shame written all over you.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49I swear, it'd be best all round if you just disappeared!

0:02:52 > 0:02:54What is he talking about?

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Phil's old man murdered... You never told me that.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Donna, you just hold your tongue. This is none of your business.

0:03:07 > 0:03:13Ah, thank you, Martin. There's the oranges for me Christingle service.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Oh, Dot, there's your kid's Bible there, thanks for that.

0:03:16 > 0:03:17Lil loved the story.

0:03:18 > 0:03:23You can keep it. And, Stacey, it's not just a story.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27Haven't you realised yet what Christmas is all about?

0:03:27 > 0:03:28Well...

0:03:28 > 0:03:32Dunno. I still think it's about rubbish presents and family rows.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Have you got the candles and that, Dot?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Yes, they're all at the church.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39You will be coming to the service at the church, won't you, Stacey?

0:03:39 > 0:03:41To see your Lily?

0:03:41 > 0:03:43I don't know, I don't really know what it's all about.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45We never had it in my school.

0:03:45 > 0:03:46No, nor did we.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49All the juniors from the various schools in Walford will be

0:03:49 > 0:03:51going to the church.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Apparently, it's lovely.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Oh, nice. Well, either way, I'm working, so...

0:03:56 > 0:03:58No, no, no. I'll cover your stall for you.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Oh, thank you, Martin!

0:04:00 > 0:04:05I'll see you at the church, Stacey. At 12.30 sharp.

0:04:07 > 0:04:08Enjoy!

0:04:18 > 0:04:20'Ere, hand these out.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28Come on, lovebirds, what could be more Christmassy than chestnuts, eh?

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Mick, shove a cinnamon stick and a satsuma in a bottle of red

0:04:32 > 0:04:34and hand out some freebies.

0:04:34 > 0:04:35Mulled wine - never fails.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Meantime, I've got my own stall to set up.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39What are you talking about?

0:04:39 > 0:04:43"Guess the weight of the goose" - just like Oliver Twist.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46I'll fetch Goosey Lucy up from the allotment, set up the bathroom

0:04:46 > 0:04:49scales, and punters pay to win her for Christmas dinner -

0:04:49 > 0:04:52all proceeds go towards our very own banquet.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54And what are we eating if you're flogging the main event?

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Trust me.

0:04:56 > 0:04:57Not in a month of Sundays.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Besides, Christmas is your exit date, remember?

0:05:04 > 0:05:07L, I know you've got the needle with me -

0:05:07 > 0:05:10but you can't blame me for what Babe did a lifetime ago.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13- See you later!- Eh?

0:05:15 > 0:05:19Walford Council Christmas lunch? Tam invited me, I did tell you.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Is everyone leaving me to it today?

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Enjoy yourself, Nance, all right? See you later.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30- L...- I'm just gonna get some more chestnuts.- Oh...

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Are we gonna talk about this or not?

0:05:40 > 0:05:42- I ain't forgiving Babe, or you. - What d'you think,

0:05:42 > 0:05:45I enjoyed hiding this from you? I didn't want to upset you.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Why do people only say that WHEN they've upset you?

0:05:48 > 0:05:50I need some air.

0:06:08 > 0:06:09Cora!

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Have I died and gone back in time?

0:06:11 > 0:06:12Mick!

0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Mick!- What?

0:06:17 > 0:06:20I'll get her inside, you call Abi.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Cora, come inside. - CORA MOANS

0:06:23 > 0:06:26- It's all right. It's Linda. - I can manage.- Come with me.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42PHIL LAUGHS

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Well, if you've won, I'd hate to see the other geezer!

0:06:48 > 0:06:51You wanna be careful who you play with.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01That was Stan's chair.

0:07:01 > 0:07:06I know, Cora. And he'd hate to see you like this.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Well, he's dead, ain't he? So what do you lot care?

0:07:09 > 0:07:10Of course we care.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13If I'd known how bad things were, I'd have told you to stay!

0:07:13 > 0:07:15I don't take charity.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18What about the council? Have you been onto 'em?

0:07:18 > 0:07:22I made myself homeless. They ain't gonna help me.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Have you even asked them?

0:07:24 > 0:07:26They can shove it an' all.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30So you're going to spend the winter on the streets? Is that the plan?

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Ain't you got any gin to go in this?

0:07:34 > 0:07:35Nan!

0:07:35 > 0:07:38Right, you go downstairs and get your nan a gin, darling.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40I'll try and get through to the council.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Ten kilos on the nose - your name's on the board, love.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Sally, was it?- Yes.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Weigh-in's at four.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56So if I win, can you get that plucked

0:07:56 > 0:07:58and ready for lunch tomorrow?

0:07:58 > 0:08:01If you win, I'll stuff it with forcemeat an' all.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Go on, then. I'll have two tickets.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Do me one at 10.3

0:08:05 > 0:08:08and...I dunno...11.28.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10That's a bit specific.

0:08:10 > 0:08:11Well...

0:08:11 > 0:08:13- Have another try.- Why?

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Cos someone else has already got that weight.

0:08:17 > 0:08:18It's not on the board.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20It will be in a second.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Oh, yeah? Gonna use your real name an' all, Fagin?

0:08:26 > 0:08:27Ha!

0:08:27 > 0:08:30'Ere - no harm done, eh?

0:08:34 > 0:08:37I dunno, must be the atmosphere round the place today.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42This is gonna be the best Christmas ever.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Yeah? Well, I tell you what - why don't I watch the stalls

0:08:45 > 0:08:47and you go to church? Get you really festive.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49You might actually enjoy yourself.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51SHE SIGHS

0:08:51 > 0:08:54See? Looks like the little 'un agrees with me.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Here, mind my stall for a minute, will ya?

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Phil and Sharon won't mind. Me and Ben can sleep in the lounge.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Over my dead body.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14It will be if you won't let anyone help you.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Five times I've been put on hold and that's just to make an appointment.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19L, L, take it easy. You don't look too clever.

0:09:19 > 0:09:24And here's the vultures, come to pick my bones.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Come to make peace, more like, cos unlike you,

0:09:27 > 0:09:28Cora, I don't wish anyone harm.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31Try telling that to all them women whose babies you sold.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35Cora's... She's been a bit ill. She's been sleeping rough.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36Yeah, we gotta do something.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Well, we know where Walford Council's

0:09:38 > 0:09:40having its Christmas lunch.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Nothing like a captive audience if you're gonna make a point.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44What's it got to do with you?

0:09:44 > 0:09:45I like a bit of confrontation.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47You like trouble, you mean.

0:09:47 > 0:09:48I'll try phoning again.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Look, I get it, you're chucking me out.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54But it ain't Christmas Day yet and your calls ain't getting

0:09:54 > 0:09:57through, so...are you gonna let me help, or what?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Right, then - Linda, you watch the old bat,

0:10:01 > 0:10:04you get someone to get that goose back to the allotment.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Me and you...

0:10:06 > 0:10:09we're going to get some reinforcements from the market.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Kim?

0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Kim!- Yeah, OK, OK! Hold on, hold on!

0:10:24 > 0:10:25Hold on.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Vincent!- I thought somebody was in here with you!

0:10:29 > 0:10:31No, but that's the reason why I put the chain on the door -

0:10:31 > 0:10:33so no-one could get in.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36We can't live like this any more.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37No, baby.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41You're the only family I got now - you and Pearl.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43I'm not losing you as well.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47OK.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51How can we rest easy in our beds at night, knowing there's an old

0:10:51 > 0:10:53woman on the streets at Christmas?

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Imagine if it was your nan or your mum, or even yourself!

0:10:55 > 0:10:58It's easy enough for them to fob us off on the blower,

0:10:58 > 0:11:01but let's see how they react when we stick the problem in their faces.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04I ain't going nowhere.

0:11:04 > 0:11:05Fill it up.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Well, fine then, we'll go on your behalf - who's with me?

0:11:08 > 0:11:10I'm sorry, I can't. I've gotta work.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13- I'll go, if you man the stall? - Yeah, I'll find the time.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15What about this weigh-the-goose competition?

0:11:15 > 0:11:17- I've called it off.- Funny, that(!)

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Right, ladies only, is it?

0:11:19 > 0:11:21Yeah, less likely to get violent.

0:11:21 > 0:11:22Says who?!

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Right, go on, upstairs, run yourself a bath, take your gin with you.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Stay with Cora, I'll handle this lot.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30What, and let you make a mess of things? I don't think so.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38# Jesus gave it to me

0:11:38 > 0:11:42# I'm gonna let it shine

0:11:42 > 0:11:45# Jesus gave it to me

0:11:45 > 0:11:48# I'm gonna let it shine

0:11:48 > 0:11:52# Let it shine, let it shine

0:11:52 > 0:11:56# Let it shine. #

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Stacey...

0:12:03 > 0:12:04there you are.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06- I've saved a seat for you. - (Thank you.)

0:12:09 > 0:12:12The Christingle is a wonderful,

0:12:12 > 0:12:16visible reminder of God's goodness to us...

0:12:16 > 0:12:19and in this season of preparation for the coming of Jesus

0:12:19 > 0:12:25into this world, it can tell us some special things about Jesus.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Christingle means "Christ Light".

0:12:31 > 0:12:32I think that's it.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Someone will be back in a moment with your drinks. In the meantime,

0:12:35 > 0:12:39please feel free to enjoy the complimentary box of festive fun.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Eh? Hang on - you haven't booked.

0:12:43 > 0:12:44Jane!

0:12:47 > 0:12:50I'm afraid it's reservations only over Christmas.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Don't worry, we ain't staying long.

0:12:52 > 0:12:53Unless we have to.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55Look, carol singers!

0:12:55 > 0:12:56SO not carol singers!

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Which one of you's housing?

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Norman Grainger. Can I help?

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Got to hope so.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04We couldn't get anyone on the phone and it's an emergency, see?

0:13:04 > 0:13:08Her nan, Cora Cross, she's homeless. She needs a flat, pronto.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11So if you wouldn't mind just sorting something out,

0:13:11 > 0:13:13we'll leave you to your lunch.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Look, erm, sorry, this is inappropriate.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18- I can give you the number for housing.- No?

0:13:18 > 0:13:21OK, ladies - plan B activated.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30# Sing Christingle, sing Christingle

0:13:30 > 0:13:33# It's the Light of Christ

0:13:33 > 0:13:37# Sing Christingle, sing Christingle

0:13:37 > 0:13:40# Sing Christingle Light of Christ... #

0:13:42 > 0:13:47You see, Stacey, like the song says, the orange stands for the world,

0:13:47 > 0:13:53and the red ribbon is blood what Jesus shed to save us from our sins.

0:13:55 > 0:14:02Well, the sweeties, they're what we call the fruits of the earth.

0:14:02 > 0:14:07And the candle is for Jesus, who is the light of the world.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Ooh! Lily's eating her fruits of the earth.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16# God of love, we give thanks now for Jesus... #

0:14:16 > 0:14:21Maybe you should reconsider on perhaps bending the rules a little bit...

0:14:21 > 0:14:23I am not going to be blackmailed over Christmas lunch!

0:14:23 > 0:14:25No, no, obviously, obviously.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Serve 'em like nothing's happened, all right?

0:14:28 > 0:14:32Oi, Nancy, what are you doing consorting with the enemy, anyway?

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Erm, I'm just Tam's plus one. I'm not...

0:14:34 > 0:14:38Well, you can "plus one" your way over here, yeah? It's family.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45You coming?

0:14:45 > 0:14:47It's my work Christmas lunch, Nancy...

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Judas.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53BABE: Two, three, four...

0:14:53 > 0:14:57- ALL CHANT:- We shall not, we shall not be moved...

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Camembert and cranberry parcels?

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Just going to the loo.

0:15:03 > 0:15:08..standing by the waterside, we shall not be moved...

0:15:08 > 0:15:13# Silent night

0:15:13 > 0:15:17# Holy night

0:15:17 > 0:15:25# All is calm, all is bright

0:15:25 > 0:15:33# Round yon virgin, mother and child

0:15:33 > 0:15:41# Holy infant so tender and mild

0:15:41 > 0:15:49# Sleep in heavenly peace

0:15:49 > 0:15:56# Sleep in heavenly peace. #

0:15:56 > 0:15:59If you're going to sit, look, at least use a chair

0:15:59 > 0:16:00and look like a paying customer.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03My back is nipping, to be fair... Oh!

0:16:06 > 0:16:08We might look like we're from the 19th century,

0:16:08 > 0:16:12but this is 2015, and you can't just scrape the poor

0:16:12 > 0:16:15and needy off your boot heel like dog muck.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17CHEERING

0:16:17 > 0:16:21And while you lot are feasting, there are people out there without roofs over their heads!

0:16:21 > 0:16:22She is going for it.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Anyone got an Oscar knocking around?!

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Look, truly, you're just wasting your time.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Your grandmother needs to be assessed by the homeless housing team.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Her husband died this year, you know.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36Is she supposed to freeze to death because she's depressed?

0:16:36 > 0:16:37Excuse me, sorry, I'm just...

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Look, I appreciate Mrs Cross is elderly and vulnerable...

0:16:40 > 0:16:43She could take you in a fistfight any day, mate!

0:16:43 > 0:16:46But just cos she ain't no sweetie pie,

0:16:46 > 0:16:48you're gonna throw her to the wolves.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52No-one is throwing anyone anywhere but there is a waiting list and you can't just jump the queue!

0:16:52 > 0:16:55You have to be in the queue in the first place, haven't ya, to jump it?

0:16:55 > 0:16:56That's the whole point.

0:16:56 > 0:17:00CHEERING

0:17:08 > 0:17:13Oh, Lil - that was lovely.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Why are you crying, Mummy?

0:17:15 > 0:17:20Because I'm happy and because you looked so beautiful up there.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23Stacey, it's because you felt it,

0:17:23 > 0:17:27it's because you was moved by everything in God's house.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30It was like...a stirring of faith.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35It was a visitation of the spirit of Jesus.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Oh, you better go, baby.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Don't forget you've got rehearsals after school, OK?

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Dot, erm...

0:17:47 > 0:17:53I had... I had, like, a...a visitation...

0:17:53 > 0:17:55thingy, like what you just said.

0:17:55 > 0:18:00Not just now but, erm, at Halloween when I had my accident.

0:18:02 > 0:18:03Where is Linda?

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Oh, she went to the loo a while ago. I hope she's OK.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10This is my restaurant and my paying customers! Just leave, please!

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Oh, no...

0:18:12 > 0:18:15someone's posted a photo to the council feed.

0:18:16 > 0:18:17Anonymously.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Cowards.

0:18:21 > 0:18:25"Housing officers feast while pensioners go homeless."

0:18:25 > 0:18:28That is grossly misleading!

0:18:28 > 0:18:32Yeah, it could look quite bad, though. If it goes viral.

0:18:33 > 0:18:38What about, "Rude old harridan and her friends harass

0:18:38 > 0:18:41"hard-working government officers on extremely rare day off"?

0:18:41 > 0:18:44Nah. No ring to it!

0:18:45 > 0:18:48Unlike the expression "PR nightmare".

0:18:48 > 0:18:54All her life, Cora worked, paid her stamp, gave back to society.

0:18:54 > 0:18:59Now she's done in, a bit cranky, maybe not quite right in the head.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03Ain't it time society gave its dues back to HER?

0:19:03 > 0:19:05APPLAUSE

0:19:10 > 0:19:13I thought I was dying and my dad was there to meet me.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16I don't know if it was my dad, or...

0:19:17 > 0:19:21Or if it was...God.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24Or if I was seeing things. I don't know...

0:19:24 > 0:19:30You were given a gift, a glimpse. You're very lucky.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34What if he was there because he was angry or upset?

0:19:34 > 0:19:38I mean, I probably haven't thought about him as much as I should have since he died.

0:19:38 > 0:19:42Then speak to him. And speak to Jesus.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45It's called praying.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Oi, Pop! Babe smashed it!

0:20:00 > 0:20:01HE CHEERS

0:20:01 > 0:20:03I hope you've got enough mulled wine going round.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05On the house, girls, on the house!

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Sheltered-accommodation flat near Dalston -

0:20:07 > 0:20:09best of both worlds with her so up and down.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12- Babe was awesome! - I only followed Linda's lead.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15Abi's sorting the paperwork, we just need to get Cora over there.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17I'll go, love. I know you ain't feeling well.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19I'll come along anyway.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21I'm fine, Mick. I wanna do right by Cora. It's important.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23You're a proper little Christmas angel, L.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26I cannot wait to walk you down the aisle.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30I'll get Cora ready and get out of this stuff.

0:20:30 > 0:20:31Why don't I drive, eh?

0:20:35 > 0:20:37There you are!

0:20:38 > 0:20:41You wanna tell me what's going on, Claudette?

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Vincent's packing right now, says that we need to leave Walford.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Says you want us to go.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50Whatever's happened he's brought on himself. Nothing I can do about it.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54You must have vertigo, sitting so high

0:20:54 > 0:20:55and mighty on that perch of yours.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58So I tell you what, yeah?

0:20:58 > 0:21:02You polish that halo all by yourself cos me and Vincent, we're gone.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06It's just a shame Pearl won't grow up knowing her grandma.

0:21:07 > 0:21:08Come on, Pearl.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19It's a dump.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21Least it's your dump.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25Nan, you saw the sign. No smoking.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27I've put some toiletries by the sink.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30It's a nice little bathroom.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33You can go now. You've wasted enough time on me already.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Aren't you going to say thank you?

0:21:40 > 0:21:42I want to.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46I'm scared if I do...I'll cry.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50And if I cry...

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Gotta break a bit before you mend, Cora.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57Then maybe you can get on with living a life again.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01What's it got to do with you?

0:22:01 > 0:22:04You don't even like me!

0:22:07 > 0:22:09Don't mean you deserve to live on the streets.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14We better get back. Do you want a lift home, Abi?

0:22:15 > 0:22:20No, I'm going to stay here and help Nan make this place look nice.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24I'll give Mum a call and let her know you're all right.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27No, no, no. Don't do that, Abs.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30Go on, you got a lot to do.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33Yeah - to be here, with you.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35We've got a plan to make to get you well again.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38And I am not going to let you push me away this time, Nan.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Come on.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43Oi...

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Yeah, thanks.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Dear God...

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Erm...

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Hello...God...

0:23:24 > 0:23:27Our Father, who art in...

0:23:31 > 0:23:34Can you, erm...

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Can you please tell my dad...

0:23:38 > 0:23:41Can you tell him that I miss him?

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Tell him that I'm sorry that I lost the key.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48I know he was trying to tell me something.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52Dad...

0:23:54 > 0:23:58Dad, if you're there, will you please just give me a sign?

0:24:07 > 0:24:10Oi.

0:24:10 > 0:24:14Oi, excuse me! Do I know you?

0:24:21 > 0:24:24Me and Cora ain't so different, you know.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27Not that I'd admit it to her.

0:24:28 > 0:24:33We may not be the nicest of people. Maybe we done bad things...

0:24:34 > 0:24:38..but whatever I done, I done for the family.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40And God knows, I'm proud I saved Mick.

0:24:42 > 0:24:46If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't be here...

0:24:46 > 0:24:48or didn't no-one mention that bit?

0:24:49 > 0:24:53If I could change the rest...I would.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57I love this family, Linda.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59It's all I got!

0:25:02 > 0:25:03You can stay.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08But if I ever catch you lying to me or putting us at risk again...

0:25:08 > 0:25:12I'd take a bullet to keep the Carters safe.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Thing is, Babe...

0:25:15 > 0:25:18I do believe you would.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Have I missed something?

0:25:30 > 0:25:31Yeah, we give it to The Man!

0:25:31 > 0:25:34And here is the hero of the hour!

0:25:34 > 0:25:37CHEERING

0:25:37 > 0:25:41To be fair, though, The Man was just a nice bloke trying to do a difficult job.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43We did kind of ruin his party, though!

0:25:43 > 0:25:45He didn't stand a chance, poor bloke!

0:25:45 > 0:25:49Here he is, "anonymous of Walford"!

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Do I get a reward?

0:25:51 > 0:25:52Yes.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54CHEERING

0:25:56 > 0:25:59Eh! What's going on? I hear I missed a good barney.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01- Have you seen Tamwar's photo? - Let's have a look!

0:26:01 > 0:26:03- Ha-ha! - PHONE RINGS

0:26:03 > 0:26:05Hold on. Sorry, sorry! It's Dean. Sorry.

0:26:05 > 0:26:09Dean! I've only been gone ten minutes.

0:26:09 > 0:26:1317, not that you're counting. I thought I was allowed a brea...

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Right, I'm on my way.

0:26:17 > 0:26:18I'll catch you later.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21You wanna watch that, you know, love.

0:26:21 > 0:26:22Eh?

0:26:22 > 0:26:26Well, you let him call the shots all the time, you'll end up living in his shadow.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37Sorry you couldn't come to the lunch yesterday.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39I hear Cora Cross made an appearance anyway.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43A cry for help, I suppose, with hindsight.

0:26:43 > 0:26:47Well, you know, it does make you think how fragile we all are.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Especially as we get older.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52Yeah, yeah, especially this time of year an' all.

0:26:52 > 0:26:56I'm starting to think I'd be better off by myself than having to choose between you two.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59That's all right, son. You stay with your nan, I'll be all right.

0:26:59 > 0:27:00Why don't you come with us, Les?

0:27:00 > 0:27:02We're going to Phil's, he won't mind.

0:27:02 > 0:27:07Well...maybe we could meet up in the Vic for a drink later?

0:27:09 > 0:27:10The more, the merrier, eh?

0:27:12 > 0:27:14It is...it is Christmas.

0:27:24 > 0:27:25Where's Linda?

0:27:25 > 0:27:26She went straight up.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29But don't worry, Mick, we made it up.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32Least now you can get married without the tension.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Stace? Where've you been?

0:27:46 > 0:27:47What's wrong?

0:27:47 > 0:27:50Martin, I... I think I'm being stalked.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59I was gonna have half an hour while Ollie's down, so...

0:28:01 > 0:28:03So...you gonna talk to me, L?

0:28:03 > 0:28:05I could say the same thing to you.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08When was you gonna tell me that Babe saved you?

0:28:08 > 0:28:11When was you gonna let me? Cos every time I try to talk to you, you run away from me.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Why can't I get five minutes to myself?

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Cos this ain't about you having the hump with me,

0:28:15 > 0:28:17it ain't about you having the hump with Babe.

0:28:18 > 0:28:19I know you.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23You're not yourself. Every time someone talks about the wedding,

0:28:23 > 0:28:26it's like you want to have it on your toes.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28I'm getting paranoid here.

0:28:31 > 0:28:32And don't...

0:28:35 > 0:28:37Don't...spin me a line.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41We've been through far too much. Just...be straight with me.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Be straight with me.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48(I can't do it, Mick.)

0:28:49 > 0:28:52The wedding...

0:28:52 > 0:28:54I can't go through with it.
