00:00It's Tom.
00:01Tom?
00:02How come you calling me from prison?
00:04Let me guess.
00:05Dodgy investment scheme went south, did it?
00:07And I was the scapegoat.
00:09I managed to keep it from Perry and everyone else back home.
00:12I knew you were going to change your mind.
00:14No, I'm not going to change my mind.
00:16It's a boy.
00:17It's a boy.
00:18It's a boy!
00:19We need to get Bobby out of here now.
00:20Bobby's on the run.
00:21Everybody knows him.
00:22My grandad wouldn't even want to get in the car.
00:23We need to get him out of here.
00:24Come on!
00:26All that stuff that we got Frankie and the others involved in
00:29keeps me awake at night.
00:31Your firstborn is out there somewhere.
00:33If you breathe a word down that phone...
00:34No, no, no.
00:35You'll never know the truth.
00:39Hollyoaks written by Daniel Molson.
00:46Starring Tamara Wall as Grace,
00:48Johnny Labby as Rex,
00:49Nadine Wilkerin as Cleo
00:51and Gemma Bissex as Claire.
00:59Hollyoaks on 4.
01:00Hashtag Hollyoaks.
01:01Grace has her back to Claire.
01:02Grace, do you remember anything about the night you gave birth?
01:15I've spent a lifetime trying to block it out.
01:20I remember you helped me deliver the baby.
01:27Do you remember me telling you it wasn't breathing?
01:31And then you made me go and get help.
01:33I ran upstairs and I gave the baby to Dad
01:37because I thought he'd know what to do.
01:39And that's when it started crying.
01:41I wanted to come and get you, Grace.
01:43I did.
01:44But Dad told me to wait.
01:45Why did you do that?
01:46You didn't have to do that.
01:47Why did you do that?
01:48Because Dad told me to.
01:52Marie.
01:53Lila approaches Cleo.
01:56You're having a boy.
01:58That's great.
01:59That's great news.
02:01Thanks, Lila.
02:03I didn't want to find out, but...
02:05She turns to Marie.
02:06Lila walks off.
02:10Cleo, I'm so sorry.
02:11I'm sorry.
02:12I just got so excited because you're having a boy.
02:15What's that?
02:16You having a boy?
02:17About Sienna's please, didn't she?
02:19She didn't know.
02:21Anyway, congratulations.
02:23Thanks.
02:25Cleo, I'm so sorry.
02:27Okay, I shouldn't have gone behind your back.
02:29I will take a step back now, I promise.
02:31Ten if you want.
02:33Obviously I don't want that.
02:34I want you to be involved in my son's life.
02:38Marie smiles at her.
02:39Rex is doing push-ups in his cell.
02:41He stops as someone stands in front of him.
02:46Oh.
02:47It's you.
02:49Believed?
02:52Paranoid.
02:53I thought someone was going to come kill me.
02:55What makes you think I'm not?
02:56Tom picks up a book.
02:57Look.
02:58What does your mate want from me?
02:59Like I said, he'll come and see you when he's good and ready.
03:03Bit of a reader, are we, eh?
03:04The classics.
03:05That's all they had in the library.
03:06What about you?
03:07Landed on your feet in this dump.
03:08Made some friends in high art places.
03:09And now you arrived to start giving a bit of financial advice here and there.
03:24Off the books, obviously.
03:25Yeah.
03:27I've heard that they call you the tax man.
03:31Yeah, I think that start there as a bit of an insult,
03:33but little do they know it's the coolest nickname I've ever had.
03:37They call me the human trafficker.
03:38It's not exactly electric wordplay, but full marks for clarity, I suppose.
03:44Did you do it?
03:46I didn't stop it.
03:48So Claire's the one pulling the strings, then?
03:52How did she know that I was in here?
03:54I don't know.
03:56You know better than I do.
03:58How she operates.
03:59Oh, she really knows how to hold a grudge of your sister.
04:02Look, your power's still playing hard to get.
04:06What exactly do you want from me, Tom?
04:09Well, I was hoping that you might want to talk back home.
04:17Hello!
04:18We're back!
04:21Hi, Jacob.
04:23I hear you got Frankie picking you up from dates with other women now.
04:28Actually, Pearl, it's a lot more complicated than that.
04:31Pearl, let's go for a walk and leave these young lovebirds to catch up.
04:35I got my beady eyes on you.
04:40Pearl leaves.
04:42Frankie and Jacob sit down on a sofa.
04:46Sorry about that.
04:48Next time I make up a cover story, I'll make sure I'm the villain.
04:52We shouldn't have let them go.
04:54I mean, what if Claire finds them?
04:56Claire has bigger things to worry about than two nosy pensioners.
05:00Maybe we should go to the police.
05:02If we go to the police, all that's going to happen is you're going to put a target on both of our backs.
05:07It's not just our backs.
05:09It's your family.
05:11And my mum.
05:13Cleo's walking through the village.
05:15Sienna steps away from the flower stall.
05:18Hey, Cleo.
05:20Oh, I'm so sorry that I missed your appointment.
05:22Don't worry, it's fine.
05:23I do have something to tell you though.
05:26It's a boy.
05:28Yeah, how did you know that?
05:29Marie's behind her.
05:31Marie, are you joking me?
05:33I thought you didn't want to know the gender.
05:34I didn't.
05:35Marie, did I not just say that I want the news to be my news?
05:39Anna heard you, really.
05:40So why are you walking around the village with it plastered on a massive balloon?
05:43I'm so sorry, Cleo.
05:44I was planning a party for you later, but I...
05:46Well, I should have had it delivered, shouldn't I?
05:49You know what you said about taking a couple of steps back?
05:51Yes, please, can you?
05:53Yeah, or considering how the rest of your kids have turned out,
05:55maybe lots of steps back.
05:57Okay.
05:59Whatever you want.
06:01I'm sorry.
06:02She lets go of the balloon.
06:05Overbearing and an environmental nightmare.
06:08Brilliant.
06:11Nah, it's a false lead.
06:13Not silent, Bobby Costello at all.
06:15We'll trace the original call.
06:17Yeah, see you later.
06:19Well, it's a boy.
06:21Congratulations.
06:22Hey, I'll let Misper know.
06:27Maybe you should lie down.
06:29No.
06:30No.
06:31What I need is for you to tell me why Dad would do something like this.
06:37He told you he didn't want you to have that kid.
06:40He told us both you were making the wrong choice.
06:43And in the end, he had to take it out of your hands.
06:45That's what he told me.
06:46You made a choice too.
06:47Nobody does something like that just because their dad tells them to.
06:50I was jealous of you.
06:52Angry at you.
06:53We were both pregnant at the same time.
06:57Don't you remember?
06:58Of course I do.
06:59But it's not my fault you've lost a baby, Claire.
07:04Claire walks behind Grace's chair.
07:06She stops and glares at Grace.
07:09And do you remember how it happened?
07:12Dad told me you fell down the stairs.
07:17And you told me that wasn't the truth.
07:20I lost everything.
07:22While you were there, ready to burst.
07:26With everything I was promised.
07:29Tell me where my baby is.
07:36I asked you to tell me where my child is!

07:48Hashtag Hollyoaks.
07:51Marie's outside her nail salon.
07:54Cleo walks up to her.
07:56Marie.
07:57It's alright.
07:58Two steps back at all times.
08:00I'm sorry for saying that.
08:06Cleo.
08:07Don't apologise, alright?
08:09Look, today was supposed to be really special.
08:11And I completely ruined it for you.
08:13And Sienna's right.
08:15I'm probably the last person you want near your kid anyway.
08:18I think she was frustrated when she said that.
08:21Doesn't mean she's wrong though, does it?
08:23I mean...
08:25Joel.
08:26Arlo.
08:27Abe.
08:28Not like any of them are prospering, is it?
08:31In this life or the next.
08:33Look, my behaviour's been pretty selfish today.
08:36The fact is I just haven't felt like much of a mum for a long time and I just thought that maybe being a grandma again might fill some of that space, you know.
08:46You're going to be the best grandma ever.
08:48Really?
08:49Yeah.
08:50Just like you are with Clara.
08:52Just please let me be the one to tell my family.
08:54Okay.
08:55Promise?
08:56Yes.
08:57Cleo!
08:58You didn't tell me you were having a boy.
09:00Mispa just told me.
09:01Oh, you're having a baby boy.
09:03Congratulations.
09:04Yes, I'm having a boy.
09:06Oh, right, I'm picking up the kids, but congrats.
09:09Do you think that I'm stupid?
09:11You're okay.
09:12I just found out that the delivery address for my big order got changed at the last minute.
09:16And wouldn't you just know it, the actual address is your salon.
09:20What?
09:21She made that order so that I would miss your appointment.
09:26If I knew where they were, I would have told you by now.
09:29Just explain to me exactly what happened that night.
09:33A car came, a guy got out of the passenger side and took the baby off Dad.
09:40Why would Dad do this?
09:43When I was pregnant, I had this feeling that he was jealous of my baby.
09:50I don't think he could see space for someone we could love more than him.
09:54And it worked.
09:56I loved him unconditionally.
10:00I loved him until it hurt.
10:04And it hurt a lot.
10:06And you, you weren't my sister.
10:10You were just competition.
10:12And that's the way he wanted it.
10:14He asked one of us to jump so the other one could jump higher.
10:18Pain was weakness and love was leverage.
10:24I thought I was going to do better than him.
10:28I always wanted to go straight, you know, so me and Trevor could be normal parents.
10:34And we would have been okay if he... if he hadn't have...
10:40I just, I haven't been a good mum.
10:50I didn't think I could do normal at all.
10:54And then Tori came along.
10:58She made me feel like a...
11:00Like a real person or something.
11:04Grace reaches over and touches Claire's hair.
11:08Since when do you wear a wig?
11:10Since I shaved my hair off.
11:14It's stage four.
11:16I'm having treatment but...
11:20I'm scared Grace.
11:25I'm really scared.
11:29Grace holds Claire's hands.
11:31Don't be scared.
11:33Why you got me now?
11:35We'll get through this.
11:38Outside the salon, Marie.
11:41Sienna, for the last time this is not some madcap scheme.
11:45Oh, please.
11:46You needed to make a massive order from the flower stall right across from your shop and
11:50you couldn't just walk over and make it.
11:52You didn't want me to go to that appointment.
11:54Sienna's right.
11:55This used to be our bread and butter so if she says it's a scheme, it's a scheme.
12:00It's a scheme.
12:01Oh, come off it.
12:03Maybe there's been a misunderstanding.
12:05Or maybe you've jumped to conclusions.
12:08I'm sorry but it wouldn't be the first time, would it?
12:12Oh.
12:13Oh, where have you been?
12:14I thought you were in Paris with Dodger.
12:15Well, it turns out there's only so much trouble you get into at Disney so we parted company.
12:28And I ended up at a festival in London with these boys.
12:30Yay!
12:31You very kindly offered to drop me off on the way back to Scotland.
12:34I saw you.
12:35I wanted to show you off.
12:36Gentlemen.
12:37Behold.
12:38The fiancée!
12:39Yay!
12:40Oh, thank you guys.
12:45Take it easy.
12:46I'll see you next time.
12:47Dad.
12:49How could you just leave Mark and Tori at Disney?
12:53The whole trip was your idea.
12:55And why have you barely been in touch with me while you've been gone?
13:00Liberty looks down.
13:01Rex is watching Tom do push-ups.
13:04Come on.
13:0529.
13:0830.
13:09You said you could do 100.
13:11Yeah, well, I'm a work in progress.
13:14So you're not in Darren's good books then?
13:16That's an understatement.
13:18I miss him.
13:19And Jack.
13:21We spoke before I left.
13:23On my long holiday.
13:24He said he'd been with Pearl for a while now.
13:26All loved up.
13:27I'm so happy for him.
13:29I need to sit down.
13:32Look, we're missing family.
13:34We're getting tough with them.
13:35I know I'm not the biggest pull for visitors, but you,
13:38you'd have every well-wisher queuing down the block.
13:42No.
13:43I was never that proud on the outside and you end up in a place like this.
13:48Pride's all you've got left.
13:50So you're worried about your image?
13:52Your family will help you out.
13:53I mean, what about Perry?
13:55She's the mother to your kid.
13:57No.
13:58No, I do not want Perry sat across from me at the visiting table.
14:01Where in this?
14:03With the people in here?
14:04My family can help me by still believing that I am the man that I was.
14:09And then once I'm out, I can make it up to him and I can beat that man again.
14:14I wish I could relate.
14:16I don't think I've ever been that.
14:18So what?
14:19You're just gonna let Claire walk all over you, eh?
14:22Why don't you tell Donny exactly what it is that he wants to hear?
14:26You'll be free.
14:27Because of Grace.
14:28Look, if Claire goes down, so does she.
14:31And then Curtis doesn't have a mum.
14:34Because I want Steve to be happy.
14:37He looks at photos of Stee stuck to the wall.
14:45Leela's sitting on a sofa and holding a firefighter-themed baby blanket.
14:50She presses it to her face.
14:55She looks up at Stee, who's by the door.
14:57He stares at her and Leela looks back at the blanket.
15:01Stee slowly walks over to the sofa.
15:07He sits down next to Leela.
15:09You're allowed to feel weird about this, you know?
15:14Am I?
15:19Because you know what, Stee?
15:20It just feels like everyone is moving on with their lives.
15:26Why does she get to be happy?
15:30You know, why does she get everything that I wanted?
15:34Where does she get over, baby boy?
15:40Start a family?
15:45When all I've got left of mine is this.
15:49She twists her wedding ring.
15:51All that's left of him.
15:56Stee stares at her.
15:58Of whom?
16:01Joel or Noah?
16:04You know you can take it off.
16:08That ring ties you to Joel.
16:10Not Noah.
16:11And if you do take it off,
16:17you'll still be here.
16:20In our hearts.
16:22All around us.
16:24Just like he always has been.
16:27A tear runs down Leela's cheek
16:30and she slides the ring off of her finger.
16:34Stee hugs Leela and rubs her shoulder.
16:38You're an amazing mom.
16:41And we're gonna get through this together.
16:44Just like we always are.
16:49All right.
16:51Love you, mom.
16:52Love you.
16:54Thanks.
16:56See, not only is your mom alive,
16:57but it sounds like she's in good spirits
16:58despite being banged up.
17:00Yeah.
17:02But that doesn't mean that we're safe, does it?
17:05Clara's got the police and the life-threatening illness
17:07to deal with before us, okay?
17:09You escaped.
17:10This is what happy ending looks like.
17:13You just need a distraction.
17:15There aren't too many distractions around here.
17:19Frankie leans forward and kisses Jacob.
17:22She pulls away quickly.
17:24Well, how is that?
17:26I don't know.
17:28Try again.
17:30Frankie smiles and kisses him again.
17:32Claire comes down the stairs in Grace's flat.
17:42Grace is sleeping on a sofa.
17:45Grace's eyes open and Claire picks up her phone.
17:50Oh.
17:51George was coming back early from Paris with Tori.
17:57She looks down at Grace as she slowly walks towards the sofa.
18:03Listen, Grace.
18:05What if I said I could help you find your child?
18:09You said you didn't know anything.
18:10I don't.
18:12Claire sits down.
18:14But you've always said we're stronger together.
18:18I'm going to need a favour in return.
18:20I need you to help me take Tori tomorrow.
18:22And when I get her back, I'm gone for good.
18:24No, you can't leave.
18:25What about your treatment?
18:26I can seek treatment wherever me and Tori end up.
18:29I just need her back first.
18:32Grace sits up.
18:36I'm going to ask you a question and you're not going to like it.
18:40All right?
18:42Do you really have cancer?
18:44Yes.
18:45You swear?
18:46Yes.
18:47On Tori's life?
18:48That's three questions.
18:50Yes.
18:52I'm fine.
18:54I'll help you get Tori back.
18:57She stands up and hunches over.
19:00Grace.
19:02You've just come out of a coma.
19:04You're still in shock.
19:05Maybe you need to rest up a bit.
19:06There'll be time for rest when we've got our kids back.
19:09I could be halfway around the world by now.
19:12She walks off.
19:14Claire steps forward and watches her.
19:19You never know.
19:21They could be just around the corner.
19:24Robbie's in Jezzy's shed.
19:26What time did you call this?
19:29I'm sorry.
19:30There was a little drama in the village.
19:32Your dinner?
19:34That's all.
19:36Robbie pulls a sandwich out of a bag.
19:38Claire opens a box.
19:40She glances over her shoulder as she takes out an envelope and opens it.
19:46She unfolds a birth certificate.
19:48The baby's name has been scribbled out.
19:50Claire puts the certificate down and takes another piece of paper from the box.
19:54It's a pencil sketch of a baby.
19:55It's a pencil sketch of a baby.
