0:02:43 > 0:02:45This is mad. This is mad. What am I doing?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- I love you, Stacey. - I'm making the tea.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Did you hear what I said to you? - Do you want one?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Stacey, I love you.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07No, you don't, Max.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11You're just sad and unhappy.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13And last night was wrong.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15No. It was right.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17It's the only right thing that's happened to me in years.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Stace, listen to me, I love you.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I've missed you all these years...
0:03:26 > 0:03:29This, this just feels like I've come home again.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Don't you feel like that?
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Just a bit?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40No.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43No, I've got a family, Max.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I've got little kids, I've got a baby.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I know all that. I'm not saying that I like it.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54It's Christmas, Max.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56In a couple of hours we're going to be opening presents
0:03:56 > 0:03:58and eating dinner. What do you want me to do?
0:03:58 > 0:03:59I know. I know.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Family...I know family's important.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I feel the same way about my girls.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Yeah? How's that working out?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Well, it is going to work out.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15It is. I'm feeling clearer, Stace, I can see a way forward.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24You were right, what you said. All that stuff about Ian and Phil.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29None of that matters any more.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32It's just you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36All I want is to spend time with you.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43You're mine.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49You're mine. I've known it since the first time I saw you.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Your bare little feet on the Square. Do you remember?
0:04:56 > 0:04:57And you knew it.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04There's your tea.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Tell me you feel the same.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17No.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Ohh...
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Not good, is it?

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Do you want to do them before lunch, after lunch...
0:06:09 > 0:06:11..before the vows, after the vows?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13It's up to you, babe, really.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- After lunch.- That'll be nice, won't it? See your granny.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Other granny. Not your dad.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32- Done that one.- Have you? I tell you,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I'm going to miss you, my little helper.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- You've been a big help. - He'll be back tomorrow.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16They're hard wearing, but I thought, why not stock up
0:07:16 > 0:07:18while they're cheap? Makes sense, doesn't it?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Yeah, he's right.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24I've got to pop out and see Abi and Lauren, got presents for them.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Babe, he's definitely going tonight, yeah?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Yeah, yeah. Definitely. If not, first thing tomorrow.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Stace, I think I'm going to head over there now,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45help Linda with the thingy.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Oh, all right. - Where's this come from?
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Through the door.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Oh, nice. Someone's found it and brought it back.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Christmas spirit is alive and well, then. - PHONE BEEPS
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Oh, Stace, you've got messages, loads.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- What are you doing? - I've got to charge my phone.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05All right.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I got you a present.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39What do you want, Dad?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I just wanted to say sorry.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Give you this.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58You not going to open it?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00I'll do it later.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02As you can see, we're a bit light on the present front.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09It's just a bit silly. It's a bit tacky, that's all.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Just reminded me of a special time.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Oh, Dad, please don't give me one of your lines.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14It's not a line.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17It just reminded me of your first-ever Christmas.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22You, me, Lauren sat on the sofa...
0:09:24 > 0:09:26..and your mum was by the Christmas tree, taking photos.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Tiny. The pair of you.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35It was the first time, first time I ever thought,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37this is it, I've made it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43I'm going to have a good, normal life. Just like anyone else.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Didn't quite work out like that, though, did it?- No.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50No, obviously I underestimated what a nut job I am.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Still, that's my problem, not yours.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Listen, I just want you to know that I love you very much.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03More than anything.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07You and Lauren.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12And all that stuff that happened...
0:10:14 > 0:10:16..it was like a madness.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Dad, I cannot do this now. I just can't.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I want a peaceful day.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Just go over the Vic with my mates and then go back to Mum's.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Why don't you come and see me at Martin and Stacey's?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Please, why don't you just pop in, have a mince pie?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33I mean, you like mince pies, don't you?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Look, I've got plans.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39And I've really got to get on.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I'm sorry.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Look, I probably should warn you, I got Lauren the same thing.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58So don't be disappointed. Cos I know what you're like about presents.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14CHILDREN LAUGH AND SHOUT

0:11:55 > 0:11:56Erm...
0:11:56 > 0:12:00It's silk-ish, you know. Babe, I went a bit mad on you.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03There's loads down there, so the quality might be a little bit...
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Oh, don't be silly. I don't mind.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Anyway, you're my present. BANGING ON DOOR

0:12:58 > 0:12:59I want to apologise about all that.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Go away. Go away or I'll call the police.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I'm sorry, all right? I want to put it all behind us, what happened.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Dad, what are you doing here?!
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Lauren, can I talk to you for a second, please?
0:13:09 > 0:13:10I'm going to call the police.

0:13:55 > 0:13:56I just...
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I just don't want you to hate me, that's all.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34I don't like sprouts.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Yeah, but these are my sprouts, all right? I grew these myself.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41How are these different? Did you grow the parsnips?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43No, no, I bought those. Just try the sprouts.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45You bought the parsnips?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50You all right, Stace?

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Yeah, well, it's a brick not a shooter.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Maybe the shooter's elsewhere. What do you reckon?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Would I do that to you, eh?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Why?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54It's a question of respect.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56And you showed none.

0:22:04 > 0:22:05A knife?
0:22:07 > 0:22:11No, I ain't. Not me. No harm done. Everything's sweet in here.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12It's all lovely.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17Why don't we have a little Christmas drink and all that, eh?
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Well, we're on duty.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Have a drink, go on.

0:22:30 > 0:22:31Have what you want.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Why are the police here?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38I've no idea. It's nothing to do with me.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Who is it to do with? That Aidan?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42No.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45No, right, let's get this over with, eh?

0:22:49 > 0:22:51I won't be a minute.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Ooh!
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- I'll do that.- No, it's all right. Take that.- Sorry...
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Stace...you were right.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Me being here.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24So I'm going to go.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I'll probably stay at Abi's.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32I do.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Do what?
0:23:40 > 0:23:41I feel the same.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I'll make you happy. Really happy. I promise.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53No, you won't...but I don't care.

0:24:09 > 0:24:10Hello.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- Who is that?- Sounded like your mum. But it just went dead.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17You've got loads of messages on here.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Yes, I know, I haven't had time. I'll ring her back.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29So, best watch out for my wandering hands.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Nothing changes, then, eh? Where's my lovely grandson?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33I've been dying to get my hands on him.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36I tell you, that boy, he has saved me these last couple of months.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- He really has.- That's nice, yeah. It must have been really hard for you,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42with Steven and...
0:25:42 > 0:25:43And Jane, yeah.

0:25:46 > 0:25:47Have you heard from her at all?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Jane? I mean, you and her, you were close.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Come on, then.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Hello, darlin'.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- Oh, look!- Sorry, Mum, I didn't realise you were here.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Here he is. Hello!
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Look at the size of you.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I'm not leaving it this long again. Where's Abi?
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Um... She's... She's with Dad.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07What?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09At Martin and Stacey's.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Well, call her. Call her now.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- I have.- Call her again.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Sorry about this, but we are going to have to go.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18It's a bit of a drive, you understand.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20So, you said your goodbyes?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22It's only for a night, ain't it?
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Eh?

0:26:47 > 0:26:48What?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Of course.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59HUBBUB SUBSIDES
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Today, we're here to celebrate Mick and Linda's wedding...
0:27:07 > 0:27:10..and to renew their marriage vows.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Linda, you want to say something?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Yeah, yeah, thank you.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Mick and I, um, we...
0:27:27 > 0:27:31..we both wanted... before we leave this pub...
0:27:32 > 0:27:36..which has been our home,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38to share with you, our friends...
0:27:45 > 0:27:46We both...
0:27:49 > 0:27:50We...
0:27:50 > 0:27:53I'm sorry. I had a whole speech.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58I'd like to say a few things.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04I had a speech, an' all. Well, I had a line.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06I had a line that I wrote on a bit of paper in the khazi.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Um...
0:28:11 > 0:28:12I'd like to say...
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Well, um...
0:28:14 > 0:28:17You're all I want.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22You know, like, now. For ever.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Cos there's nothing that compares to...
0:28:28 > 0:28:30We should never be apart.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37You know, all this - the vows and the ceremony, it don't mean nothing.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Not really.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44Cos I love you just like I did when I first laid my eyes on you.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47And...I love you.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51And I fancy you.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53LAUGHTER
0:28:53 > 0:28:54A lot.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00So...
0:29:00 > 0:29:01Ah!
0:29:01 > 0:29:04APPLAUSE
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Really? What?
0:29:07 > 0:29:10CHEERING
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Oi, oi, X-rated.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Whatever happened to the Queen's Speech and The Great Escape?
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Mother, I love you
0:29:34 > 0:29:36and you're a doll.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Drinks are on the house.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43CHEERING
0:29:43 > 0:29:44Merry Christmas.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54I'm sure you can go and visit, or they can come down here.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56It's, like, 1,000 miles away.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Don't worry, I'm not going.
0:29:58 > 0:29:59What?
0:29:59 > 0:30:02I'm not going to Glasgow. I'm staying here.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05No, no, no, no, you've made a decision, you stick to it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07No, hold on, hold on, hear her out.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Well, she can't stay here cos of you, Ian.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10You ain't even family.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Mum! It's not because of Ian.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Well, what, then?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18It's Dad. He's not well. I'm worried about him.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22I don't think it's safe to leave him here on his own.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Not safe?
0:30:24 > 0:30:25No, he's fragile.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29I'm staying here until Dad's sorted.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Otherwise I'm afraid of what he'll do.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33Call Abi again.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35- She's not picking up! - Fine. Go and get your bags.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- All of them, cos we're going, and you ain't coming back.- Mum!
0:30:38 > 0:30:40No. Don't worry about your father. I'll put him straight.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42He's not making me do anything!
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Lauren, you don't know what he's capable of.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51You don't know what he's done, and I do. I do.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54So I'm going to go over there, I'm going to get Abi, I'm going to
0:30:54 > 0:30:57bring her home, where she can have her baby and be safe.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00And you and Louie, you are going to Glasgow, right? You're going to
0:31:00 > 0:31:04get away from this place, a fresh start, away from your father and...
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Do you understand? Do you...understand?
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Get packed. I'll be back in five.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17Yeah.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Mum, look, I've got to go, I've got loads of hungry kids to feed.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25Yeah. I promise.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27All right. Love you too.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Martin wanted you. Something to do with Hope.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Nappies, I think.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40Thanks.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00TEARFULLY: Stacey, it's Jane. I shouldn't be calling you,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02I know I shouldn't be calling you, but I just...
0:32:02 > 0:32:04I have to tell someone.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09What's that for?
0:32:31 > 0:32:34TEARFULLY: He is the reason Steven is dead.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36He left me to die in that fire.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40He's threatened Ian, Bobby's life...
0:32:40 > 0:32:42He's out of control, Stacey.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47And he is capable of anything.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Hope's fine.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- What are you doing?- Nothing. No. Just your mum called back.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59I told her I'd ring her tomorrow.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02No, she was just... She forgot something. She was wittering on.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Give it to me. I'd better ring her. She'll be worrying for hours.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07No, she'll be fine. I calmed her down.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08You?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Yeah, yeah, I'm a charmer.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14I don't think my mum's going to fall for your charms.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Well, women can't resist me.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Oh, is that right?
0:33:18 > 0:33:19Give me the phone.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Give me the phone.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30See? I'm irresistible.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Give me the phone.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45DOOR OPENS
0:33:50 > 0:33:51Sorry to interrupt.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Tanya. Happy Christmas.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Ditto. Can I have a word?
0:33:56 > 0:34:00No. No, we're sort of in the middle of something,
0:34:00 > 0:34:03you know, mince pies, brandy butter. You know the routine.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- It's about the girls. - I'll get out your way.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07It's all right. You ain't got to do that.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09I'll call you, yeah? We'll speak tomorrow.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11No. I want to talk to you now.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13It's all right, I'll leave you to it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Help yourself to turkey or whatever, there's loads.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17I've eaten, thanks.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22What? It couldn't wait?
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Lauren's meant to be going to Glasgow, only now she's not
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- because of you. - What do you mean, Glasgow?
0:34:27 > 0:34:29She's worried about you. Says you're not well.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33I'm fine. Really. Don't I look fine?
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Frankly, I don't care.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36I don't care if you're alive or dead
0:34:36 > 0:34:39but I will not have you messing with my girls' heads.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Lauren IS going. Tonight. And you're not going to stop her.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45If she calls you, you tell her, tell her it's the right thing to do.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46Now, I'm going to go in there,
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I'm going to be polite, smile at Martin and Stacey,
0:34:48 > 0:34:50and I'm going to get my little girl
0:34:50 > 0:34:53and I'm going to take her with me, away from you. Do you understand?
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Well, what if she don't want to go?
0:34:55 > 0:34:57What if she likes being around her old man?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59What if she wants me to be a part of her life, her baby's life?
0:34:59 > 0:35:03Not going to happen. I promise. I can guarantee it.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06One word from me, she's not going to want to look at you ever again.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08What are you talking about?
0:35:09 > 0:35:11I know what you did.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15I know.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18What does she want?
0:35:18 > 0:35:20I don't know. A little chat. It's private.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24So we're not allowed in our own kitchen? This is our Christmas.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25First, an unwanted house guest...
0:35:25 > 0:35:27No offence, Abi.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29..and now this.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34Mum. It's Stace. ..Yeah, you just rang. You spoke to Max.
0:35:36 > 0:35:42No? ..Oh, no. No, it's all right. I probably got it wrong.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Yeah, don't worry, I'll speak to you tomorrow. Bye.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Oh. I think we are going to need those nappies after all.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52I'll go and get 'em. I'll tell your mum you're ready to go.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Yeah. Thanks for a really lovely dinner.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- Couldn't it wait?- I think it's the perfect time, perfect place
0:35:59 > 0:36:01to look you in the eye, tell you what I think of you.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Sorry, I need to get some nappies.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- Excuse me, I need wipes.- Sorry.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11- How could you even have him here? - Tan.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to her.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Well?
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Look, I don't want to get in the middle of what's going on.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Going on? Going on?
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Well, yeah, if you're having a domestic,
0:36:21 > 0:36:24- that's fine, but can you just take it elsewhere?- A domestic?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Well, whatever. Whatever it is. It's Christmas.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29It's my family Christmas, and I don't need it ruined by you.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32What, like you ruined mine, all them years ago?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Look, can you just finish up and go, please?
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Oh, my God.
0:36:49 > 0:36:54Oh, my God! You're sleeping with him, aren't you?
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- Is that why he's here? - How dare you?!
0:36:56 > 0:37:00- You are, I can tell.- That's enough, all right? Will you just get out?
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Didn't you learn anything the first time? He is poison. He's poison.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- He will mess you up.- Let's go. - Don't touch me! Don't come near me!
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Tan, there's kids through there, little ones.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Since when did you care about that?
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- Can you keep your voice down? - What, you worried Martin might hear?
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Look, even if it is true, which it isn't,
0:37:14 > 0:37:16then it's none of your business, is it?
0:37:16 > 0:37:19You're not married to him any more. You bailed on him years ago
0:37:19 > 0:37:22so don't come in here and accuse me of something I haven't done...
0:37:22 > 0:37:23I'm accusing you of being stupid.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25A victim.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27I love her.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32I do. I love you. I don't care who knows.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36In fact, the biggest mistake I ever made
0:37:36 > 0:37:38was not leaving you for her when I had the chance.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41You're trying to hurt me and you can't. I'm way past all of that.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43No, I'm just being honest. I'm telling you the truth.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45She's the love of my life. More than you ever were.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47She knows everything.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50She knows what I've done, she don't care.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Is that true? Is it?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55What, you'll take him on?
0:37:55 > 0:37:57After what he's done?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59What is wrong with you?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01You'll let him in your house?
0:38:01 > 0:38:02You'll let him in your bed?
0:38:02 > 0:38:05And you'll take him on even after what he's done?
0:38:05 > 0:38:08All right, he's done some bad things. Who hasn't?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11He was pushed and provoked. I mean, he went to prison.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14He didn't even do anything wrong. He's not a bad man.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Really?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19So it's OK, is it?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Everything? Everything Jane told you?
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- That's fine, is it?- Jane? Jane didn't tell me anything.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Don't lie to me. I know she did. She called you.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28She told me she did. I saw her last week.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30I don't know what you're talking about.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32I know that you know.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Jane told me she left messages. She left several.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40I don't have any messages from Jane. Or calls.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43I haven't had a call from anyone all day apart from my mum.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Not today. A couple of months ago. She called you.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49She called you to warn you. She told me she did.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51I lost my phone. I only just got it back.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53I've got loads of messages.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56I've got loads of messages, but I haven't got any from Jane.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Oh, I do.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- Play it. Play it.- No, no, no. That's enough, all right?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- That's enough.- Then tell her. Tell her what you've done.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09What do you mean, what I've done?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11I haven't done anything she don't know about.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15Stacey, it's me, Jane. Ignore that call.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Forget everything I said, it was a mistake. It was all a mistake.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Stacey, you can't tell anyone, OK?
0:39:26 > 0:39:27Is that it?
0:39:27 > 0:39:29- Yeah.- She's drunk, I mean, listen to her.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31You can hear it, hear it in her voice.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33There must be more. There must be another one.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Yeah, from Martin and my mum, but not Jane.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37- No, there must be.- Am I mad?
0:39:37 > 0:39:40That's the voice of a woman who's totally off her head.
0:39:41 > 0:39:42He's deleted them. He's deleted them.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45What are you talking about? That's totally ridiculous.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48When I came in, he had it in his hand. Just now. He had your phone.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- Did you?- What are you talking about? No! Don't believe her over me.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Look at him. Look, that's guilt. You know him.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57You know when he's lying. Look at his eyes.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Max, are you lying?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05No.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07- Tell her what you've done. - What do you mean, tell her?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09- I ain't done anything, have I? - Just tell her.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- No. Get out of here! - What are you going to do?
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- Max, don't.- Get out of here, get out of my life.- Are you going to hit me?
0:40:15 > 0:40:17- If you don't tell her, I will. - What? Cos it ain't true, is it?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19He killed Steven. Killed him, tried to kill Jane...
0:40:19 > 0:40:21- What are you talking about? - He threatened Bobby, a child.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23He's a murderer! He made Jane leave...
0:40:23 > 0:40:25You can't believe a word she says.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27..made her leave without saying a word to Ian,
0:40:27 > 0:40:28let him think she didn't care about him.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31If you don't believe me, call her. She'll tell you everything.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- Max? - What? What, are you happy now?
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Coming in here, trying to wreck another life?
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Bringing your loneliness, your misery in here!
0:40:39 > 0:40:42What are you trying to do, wreck everything for me?
0:40:42 > 0:40:44I'm not lonely, Max.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46I'm just alone.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48There's a difference.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Now, I'm going to get my girls, both of them,
0:40:50 > 0:40:53and I'm going to take them away from you.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Away from ever having to see, listen, look at you again.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59I am not going to let you ruin their lives, not any more.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03We've had it with you. All of us.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- Abi, let's go. - What do you mean, he killed Steven?
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Abs, it ain't true, all right? Any of it.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16- Let's just go. - No, I want to know. What did he do?
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- What did he do, Mum? - Just come on. Go.
0:41:18 > 0:41:19Abi...
0:41:26 > 0:41:28- I want you out. Get out of my house. - He's going.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- Just go, Max.- I need to talk to you.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32- Just go. - I just want to talk to you.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- No, Max. Not now. No.- Stace... - I need to sort my kids out.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- Stacey, please... - I need to change Hope's nappy.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39I've got washing up to do, there's a whole load of stuff to do.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- I just want to talk.- You heard what she said.- Max, just go.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44- No, I don't want to go... - Just get out!
0:41:52 > 0:41:54SHE SOBS
0:42:01 > 0:42:03I'm going to change Hope's nappy.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12Stacey...
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Stacey, I can do that.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Stacey, just let me do that, all right?
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Kids, go upstairs.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Bex, just take the kids upstairs, go and play.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41Now!
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Right, look, I'll be back in a minute.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Come on, let's go upstairs. Come on.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Abi, what's happened? What's wrong?
0:43:16 > 0:43:18It's Dad.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20What's happened? Is he OK?
0:43:20 > 0:43:21He killed Steven.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23He killed Steven!
0:43:24 > 0:43:27- Stay away.- What, are you happy now? - I told you, just stay away.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30It's not going to work, Tan, all right? We love each other.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32I love her. It's real.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36It's not real. You sad, desperate, pathetic little man.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38It's just you grasping at straws, and Stacey -
0:43:38 > 0:43:40she's too stupid to see you for what you are.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42Yeah, well, I'm not a bad man, am I?
0:43:42 > 0:43:44- Tell someone who cares. - Yeah, you care. Deep down.
0:43:44 > 0:43:45You always have.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47Not any more.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51Really. It's all gone. Nothing. I feel nothing.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54You're like a dream to me. You and me
0:43:54 > 0:43:56and all those years and that whole thing.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58It was just like a bad memory. It's not real. It doesn't feel real.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03Them girls and Oscar, they're the only real thing in my life
0:44:03 > 0:44:06and I'm going to protect them, just like I always have.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07- They love me.- Dream on.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10What are you going to do? Take them away from me?
0:44:10 > 0:44:12- Is that what you're going to do? - Get off.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15You can't take them away from me. You can't take them off me.
0:44:15 > 0:44:16Ian, don't!
0:44:19 > 0:44:21- Stop him.- Dad!
0:44:28 > 0:44:31Dad! Dad, don't! Stop!
0:44:33 > 0:44:35Ian! Come on, get up, Ian. Come on...
0:44:36 > 0:44:38Come on.
0:44:38 > 0:44:40It's all right.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46Just go. They know, they all know what you did.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48- We all know.- Lauren?
0:44:48 > 0:44:50Don't try and stop us, Dad. We're going.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52- Go on. Just get away from us.- Go!
0:44:52 > 0:44:54- Girls, please!- Go!
0:44:57 > 0:44:58DOOR SHUTS
0:45:18 > 0:45:20- Keep him here.- What?
0:45:20 > 0:45:21Just keep him here.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29CHILDREN CHATTER UPSTAIRS
0:45:35 > 0:45:37BABY FRETS
0:45:49 > 0:45:51BANGING ON DOOR
0:45:56 > 0:45:58SHE GASPS
0:45:58 > 0:46:00What is it, Kath? What's wrong?
0:46:00 > 0:46:01Just tell me!
0:46:01 > 0:46:03Max...
0:46:03 > 0:46:07He killed Steven, and he got rid of Jane, now Ian...
0:46:07 > 0:46:09I can't control him.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12You've got to deal with Max, you've got to finish this. Now.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16Go home. And keep Ian there.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Just go, Kathy, go.
0:46:38 > 0:46:39What are you doing here?!
0:46:39 > 0:46:41- I have to talk to you. - No, Max. I can't.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45- Stacey, please.- No, I mean it. Martin is upstairs. He'll hear.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48Just two minutes outside, all right? That's all I need.
0:47:04 > 0:47:06Look, I can explain everything.
0:47:06 > 0:47:07No. Not here.
0:47:11 > 0:47:15Stace... Stace, will you just hold on?
0:47:15 > 0:47:16Is it true?
0:47:16 > 0:47:19No. No, all right? It's not what you think. I mean...
0:47:20 > 0:47:22The whole situation just got out of control.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24Did you kill him?
0:47:24 > 0:47:27Stace, please, I didn't mean for it to happen, did I?
0:47:27 > 0:47:28So you did?
0:47:31 > 0:47:33And Jane?
0:47:34 > 0:47:37Jane... Jane was part of it. She was part of it.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40Putting me inside. With Ian and Phil. I know it's wrong.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43But you saw what I was like.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45Stace, you saw me the other day, all right?
0:47:45 > 0:47:47You've got to understand.
0:47:47 > 0:47:48Understand?
0:47:49 > 0:47:52Understand what? That you killed someone!
0:47:52 > 0:47:54That you lied to me, Max?
0:47:56 > 0:47:59Are you even capable of anything real?
0:47:59 > 0:48:01Are you?
0:48:04 > 0:48:05I...
0:48:05 > 0:48:08I thought you'd changed.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10I really believed you.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12Stace, Stace, listen to me. Just listen.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15Just listen to me, all right? I love you, that's all that matters.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17Is that even true?
0:48:17 > 0:48:18Of course it is.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21Stace, course that's true.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26And when I realised it, everything else went out the window.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29All of it. I didn't care about Ian and Phil any more. Just...
0:48:32 > 0:48:34It was just you and me. It always has been.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39You and me, we slept together.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42We were as intimate as any two people can be, Max,
0:48:42 > 0:48:48and I had no idea. You didn't tell me. I can't live like that.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50I can't live with someone like you.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52What, one thing, Stace? One mistake.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55You could go to prison. Ian'll know. He'll find out.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57He's not going to keep his mouth shut, is he?
0:48:57 > 0:48:59- I ain't going to go back to prison, am I?- You might.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01- For years and years.- I couldn't go back there.
0:49:01 > 0:49:04- That's how it all started, with them putting me inside.- I know.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06- I heard it all, you told me.- Oh, yeah? What do you mean, you heard?
0:49:06 > 0:49:09I ain't told you. What do you understand? You don't know, Stace.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12You don't know what it's like facing 20 years,
0:49:12 > 0:49:14thinking that's real.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20I couldn't take it.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22HE SOBS
0:49:22 > 0:49:25I couldn't take it, so I done the only thing I could to escape.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33The only trouble is, they found me.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37They found me before I bled out.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42I think for a moment my heart went.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48Then when they revived me, when I woke up, I just...
0:49:50 > 0:49:52..I just felt disappointed.
0:49:54 > 0:49:56And that's just how I've felt ever since.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01Felt disappointed and bitter
0:50:01 > 0:50:06and angry and mad and sick.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08Sick, it's like I've got a virus in my head
0:50:08 > 0:50:10that's made me do all those things.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15And that's why.
0:50:18 > 0:50:19And then I found you.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24I found you. You saved me, Stace.
0:50:28 > 0:50:32Stace, it's going to be all right. I'm good.
0:50:34 > 0:50:36Good? You're good?
0:50:36 > 0:50:37Not good...
0:50:39 > 0:50:41I feel I can...
0:50:41 > 0:50:43I can see a way to be happy.
0:50:48 > 0:50:52There is no way, Max. Not any more.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54Stacey... Stace...
0:50:54 > 0:50:56- Just go, Max. Please. Just go. - What do you mean go?
0:50:56 > 0:50:59- I don't want to lose you.- Just go. - Stace...- No, I'm going to go inside.
0:50:59 > 0:51:00I'm going to check on my kids.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02Can you just talk to me and we'll sort it out?
0:51:02 > 0:51:06- No, Max.- We'll sort it out.- Just let me go! Just let me go, Max!
0:51:07 > 0:51:08Stace...
0:51:08 > 0:51:10Stace, just give me one chance.
0:51:10 > 0:51:15No. No. No more chances. They've all gone.
0:51:16 > 0:51:20And whatever I felt, Max, has just gone.
0:51:20 > 0:51:21It's gone.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23You killed it.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29- Stace, that's not true.- Yeah, it is.
0:51:31 > 0:51:32And you know what? Tanya was right.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36You're just poison.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39You just can't help yourself, can you?
0:51:40 > 0:51:44It should have been you that fell off that roof, not Bradley.
0:51:46 > 0:51:47It should have been you.
0:52:15 > 0:52:17I hear you've been looking for me.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24One or two things you wanted to discuss, eh?
0:52:24 > 0:52:25No? Did I get that wrong?
0:52:25 > 0:52:28You know, beating up Ian Beale's easy. Me, not so easy.
0:52:39 > 0:52:42How's your heart, Phil? Your dodgy ticker.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44When's that going to go?
0:52:45 > 0:52:47You're over, Max.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49You're finished!
0:52:51 > 0:52:53Do it.
0:52:53 > 0:52:57Do it. Go on, Phil, put me out my misery.
0:53:03 > 0:53:04Go on, do it!
0:53:06 > 0:53:08Go on, Phil, do it. Kill me!
0:53:08 > 0:53:10Kill me!
0:53:12 > 0:53:14GUNSHOT
0:53:17 > 0:53:20Why don't you finish me off, Phil?
0:53:20 > 0:53:22Or aren't you man enough?
0:53:26 > 0:53:27You want me to, don't you?
0:53:27 > 0:53:28Yeah.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30Yeah, do it.
