00:28Come on, mate, pour us again, dinner's ready.
00:44There you go, vegan bean cutlets for you lot.
00:46Mmm, look amazing.
00:48I like my stoke with the blood still oozing out a bit.
00:51Still mooing, Ian's known, used to say.
00:53Gran.
00:54What?
00:55Oh, look, I'm sorry, I forgot.
00:59You enjoy your meatless things.
01:01Although, I've got to say, Lauren, I mean, you can't drink
01:04and now you're not eating meat.
01:05Don't you find it all a bit boring?
01:07Well, I feel a lot healthier and, you know, I'm still here.
01:11Yeah, yeah, take the notes, Amelia, what do I know?
01:14Help yourself to mash and veg, then.
01:16Yeah, thanks very much for this, Dad.
01:18So what's she like, then, this Jasmine's mum?
01:21Nice, elegant, nothing like Jasmine said.
01:24I was expecting her to be all right.
01:26No!
01:28Anyway, I've told Jasmine that I'll give her to the end of the week
01:31and then she's going to have to find somewhere else.
01:33Not because of anything her mum's weird, but I can't take any chances
01:36of her just leading Oscar into God knows what.
01:39Oh, you're doing the right thing.
01:40Peter, you should give him some extra ales on the stall.
01:42You know, keep him occupied.
01:44Did this woman, did she say anything about the Fords?
01:48The Fords?
01:49Yeah.
01:51What are you talking about?
01:53Didn't your mum say?
01:57She's got it into her head that, um, Jasmine's...
02:01Well, she's a Ford and she's been sent to spy on her.
02:03Oh, of course she has.
02:04Because everything everyone does is all about Cindy, isn't it?
02:07Well, she did call her handler.
02:09What'd she say?
02:11That they were going to look into it.
02:14Look, your mum's... your mum's really scared.
02:16I mean, personally, I think she's overreacting, but, um...
02:20Maybe we should be on our guard with Jasmine.
02:23You know, just in case.
02:27Hey!
02:28I just found Cindy outside the hour, but unconscious.
02:33Blood pouring down her head.
02:35Was having fun?
02:36Letting my hair down and then you have to come and spoil it?
02:38What did I do?
02:39You turned up!
02:41Every time I see you, I think of Joel and what happened.
02:46I know that you are dealing with everything the best way you can,
02:49but someone might.
02:52You know, it...
02:54It can't be up that I'm Joel's dad.
02:55I tried to raise him...
02:59good.
03:01You know, I treated him a lot better than my old man ever treated me,
03:03let me tell you that.
03:05You know, Joel never grew up looking over his shoulder
03:06wondering where the being was coming from.
03:09You shouldn't have to use violence to teach a boy how to be a man.
03:15Uh, sorry, can I get a whiskey for me, please?
03:19Oh, no, I'm not staying.
03:22Okay.
03:24Give yourself a break, eh?
03:29It's what I could do with another.
03:34Before you assume anything, I'm staying because I want to,
03:37and it has got nothing to do with you.
03:40Understood.
03:41I don't eat like this.
03:50It'll be alright.
03:53Will it?
03:54Oh, yeah.
03:55That's courage.
03:56Good girl.
03:57He poured me one.
03:58Well done, because he's eating the old cat.
04:00Zoe's going to go ballistic when she finds out his chin's hearing.
04:04Listen, you haven't got to say anything, alright?
04:05Wait, hey, what are you talking about?
04:06What's the matter?
04:07We're in this together, come on.
04:08Right, down here one.
04:09Right, in that case, we wait until closing.
04:10Okay.
04:11Let her finish her shift.
04:12We bolt the doors and we do this together.
04:13Yeah.
04:14And we stick to the facts.
04:15Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:16Right, well, we found the hearing after the vandalism and it's Jean's.
04:17Okay.
04:18And the reason why we didn't tell Zoe straight away is because we weren't sure.
04:20But anyway, you confronted Jean.
04:21She got all defensive and, like, stormed out, yeah?
04:22Yeah, that's good.
04:23That's good, okay?
04:24Let's hope Jean comes in for a drink tonight, though, yeah?
04:25I'm joking.
04:26Okay, don't have to wait.
04:27She left early when it ain't gonna happen.
04:28But anyway, what we need to do, we need to comfort Zoe.
04:29You know, calm her down and put on a united front.
04:30I'll have one.
04:31Okay, ready?
04:32Oh.
04:33So, I was still recording.
04:34Right.
04:35Yes?
04:36That's why, you know.
04:37The vandalism and it's Jean's.
04:38Okay.
04:39And the reason why we didn't tell Zoe straight away is because we weren't sure.
04:40But anyway, you confronted Jean, she got all defensive and, like, stormed out, yeah?
04:41Yeah, that's good.
04:42That's good, okay.
04:43Let's hope Jean comes in for a drink tonight, though, yeah?
04:44I'm joking.
04:45Okay, the after-way she left early when it ain't gonna happen.
04:49But anyway, what we need to do, we need to comfort Zoe.
04:50You know, calm her down and put her on a united front.
04:52I'll have one.
04:54There we go, ready.
04:59That's a term we use in films.
05:02I saw it.
05:02And I could see that Kojo, Kojo, yes, he was really interested.
05:10Why the picture looked like a scene in Home Alone.
05:12That's it, yeah, yeah, Home Alone.
05:14So we got chatting and we realised we both have the same directorial influences.
05:19Same what?
05:20I've got no idea, babe.
05:22I'm going to be assistant director.
05:25Of where?
05:26Yeah, yeah.
05:27Yeah, I've just had a brilliant idea for the opening shot.
05:30To the storyboard, Robin.
05:34Oh.
05:37Ah, it's good to see Kojo so happy.
05:39He's been missing hanging out with Harry, so this will cheer him up.
05:44Yeah.
05:44Talking about hanging out with people, I wanted to talk to you about...
05:51Hey, Beaton.
05:55Mum's been attacked.
05:57Cindy's in the hospital.
06:03I found her before she was dead.
06:08Peter's lot thought you did it, but I've said you didn't.
06:12Why are you packing?
06:13Um, I, I just thought I'd get a head start.
06:20You never...
06:20With Cindy, you, you're not part of a criminal family that wants her dead, right?
06:26Because that's weird.
06:28What are you talking about?
06:29I'm a girl from Croydon who works in a gay bar and, and likes watching reruns of Miss Marvel.
06:35I'm, I'm me.
06:36Jaz, why is there blood on your shoe?
06:42Okay, it doesn't matter.
06:43Whatever you've done, you've had to do.
06:44Yes, I pushed Cindy down the stairs.
06:51Well, you tried to kill Cindy.
06:54No, of course not.
06:58I was just having a drink on the stairs.
06:59And then she came out of nowhere and she started yelling at me, saying that she knew who I really was and that she was gonna get me before I could get her or something.
07:07And this, after we saw her going through my stuff, then she came at me.
07:10I got scared and she went flying.
07:14That sounds like an accident.
07:16Exactly.
07:17She was all crazy-eyed.
07:19I had to do something.
07:20She came at me.
07:24Of course you did.
07:33You must have been really scared.
07:35I was.
07:37And then I thought, well, Cindy's just gonna tell the police that I pushed her, so I may as well just pack up and go.
07:46She's not blaming anyone.
07:48She's unconscious.
07:52It's not like I want to go.
07:55I want to stay here.
07:58With you.
08:00But this, on top of Lauren kicking me out, I just...
08:03Let me talk to Lauren and the rest of them.
08:13Get them to not get the police on to you.
08:15Do you really think they're gonna listen?
08:21Probably worth a try.
08:24Trust me.
08:26Yeah?
08:26Just...
08:26Don't leave.
08:26Don't leave.
08:31As it's our anniversary, I have been thinking a lot about you.
08:46And what happened, I'm just really angry with myself.
08:54It's just words.
08:55It's not.
08:56No, it's not.
08:56It's not.
08:57It's not.
08:58What have I got to do?
09:00I'm in love with you, stupid.
09:02Stupid?
09:03Yeah.
09:04Stupid.
09:05The same way I'm stupid.
09:06The same way I'm stupid.
09:07And worse.
09:08For letting it all happen.
09:13But we are rubbish about each other.
09:15I mean, even you know that.
09:18Oh!
09:19What was that for?
09:23You should have dealt with Joel.
09:25The minute you knew, instead of paying that girl's parents off.
09:28I know.
09:31Still don't need to fund me.
09:32Oh, shut up.
09:33You know I bruise like a peach.
09:35Yeah.
09:36I remember from when Spencer hit you.
09:42You're right.
09:43We are rubbish without each other.
09:47How pathetic is that?
09:50Yeah.
09:51Really pathetic.
09:55Everything is going on at the moment.
09:58All this stuff that's happened in the past two years.
10:00And now she's just...
10:02Well, she's going to go back into witness protection again.
10:05Disappear out of our lives.
10:07Peter won't cope with that not again.
10:09No.
10:11And she has been making good on her promises.
10:14You know, fresh start.
10:15Running the Albert.
10:18I was actually starting to think, you know, that...
10:21That it could work out.
10:29You really don't like her, do you?
10:35Well, no one likes the mother-in-law today.
10:39Yeah, yeah.
10:40Yeah, that's fair.
10:42I'm not sure if I like her myself, to be honest.
10:44I do love her, though.
10:49But I've got...
10:51I've got too much stuff to work through first.
10:59And with the Fords sniffing around again, it's just all going to be up in the air.
11:02Do you really think that Jasmine did this?
11:13Her mum did say that her father's family were dodgy.
11:18So...
11:20And...
11:22Well, she did say that she would help me bury the body if I ever did kill your mum.
11:26Which, obviously, at the time, I thought she was joking.
11:29Yeah.
11:34Anything?
11:36They're, er...
11:37Taking her into surgery.
11:38Anna's been waiting with her.
11:40They're going to pin her up over them.
11:42They're worried about complications.
11:44And they...
11:46They keep asking about what happened.
11:47What, you told them about the Fords?
11:48No.
11:50Look, your mum always reckoned that the Fords had police on their payroll.
11:53Okay, so...
11:55I've spoken to Mary, her witness protection handler.
11:57And she's now on the case, and she...
11:59She's going to stop the police from looking into it any further.
12:02Oh, and she was also upset that she'd been so dismissive of your mum.
12:05Oh.
12:06Well, she probably should have done her job better then, huh?
12:09What are you doing?
12:10I've seen Jasmine.
12:12She's not who you were saying she is, all right?
12:14Sorry.
12:15Well, she's not going to admit it, is she?
12:16No.
12:17She was there when Cindy fell, but she didn't do anything.
12:19She pushed her.
12:20She attacked Cindy, right?
12:21And now...
12:22And Cindy said that, or you just jump into conclusions?
12:23You.
12:24Huh?
12:25You've got no idea what you are talking about.
12:27We have all had our lives turned upside down for years.
12:30The Fords have put us through hell.
12:32Oscar, open your eyes.
12:34Your girlfriend is a psycho.
12:37She's part of a criminal family.
12:39Years ago, Cindy was sharing a prison cell with this woman called Jackie Ford.
12:48Okay?
12:49She informed on her.
12:51She got put into witness protection and given a new identity.
12:54I was told she was dead.
12:55Mum never got to see Peter grow up, you know?
12:58She left us when we were kids because of the Fords.
13:01That don't mean Jasmine's one of them.
13:04What, you really think she just fell in love with you?
13:07I mean, you hardly got the gift, are ya?
13:09Oi!
13:10I mean, obviously, she did it so she'd get close to Cindy.
13:15Oscar, Cindy...
13:17She mentioned that...
13:19Jasmine said something about wanting to get revenge on somebody.
13:25I know that you've really, really fallen for her, but...
13:29You've got to face the truth.
13:37...accusing me of terrorising Zoe.
13:43I mean, look at me, Freddie.
13:46Be honest.
13:47Do I look like I could terrorise someone?
13:50Then, you're the least terrorising person I've ever met.
13:55At least someone in the family really knows me.
13:57I mean, where was Zoe when Cat was to-ing and fro-ing between Phil and Alfie?
14:05When Tommy had a gun pointed at him?
14:07When the house burnt down and Cat got scarred?
14:09Where was she, eh?
14:11When we all had to go through the whole flippin' Hayley saga?
14:14When Charlie died, where was she?
14:16Nowhere! Nowhere!
14:18She's been back two minutes and suddenly I'm the villain!
14:23Do you know what? I'm not having this.
14:25I'm going to the pub. You coming?
14:26No, Nan, I think you need to sit down and stay here.
14:28No, I'm sorry, Freddie.
14:30I am sick of not sticking up for myself.
14:33Zoe Slater needs to get us coming to her!
14:39Go.
14:41I don't know why I thought coming back here would be any different.
14:44Yeah.
14:46I never thought I'd be back in this pub.
14:49Seeing a cat behind the bar.
14:51Sleeping under my dad's roof again.
14:54Being here with you.
14:56Right pair of losers.
14:59The doctor in me would suggest
15:02you've developed a bit of co-dependency since you've been back.
15:05Me? Co-dependent?
15:07Yeah, that sounds about right.
15:09I've been addicted to a few things, so now mother issues.
15:11You don't need cat.
15:15You don't need anybody.
15:17You've always been your own person.
15:19And that's one of the things I've always admired about you.
15:22Right. And what is it you admired about cat, eh?
15:25A collection of African roadkill dresses?
15:31Jane!
15:33We're expecting you here tonight.
15:36Yes, well, I was angry earlier.
15:39Very. With both of you.
15:41Okay. It's understandable.
15:43So if we just sleep on it and then...
15:44I will not be made to feel that I have done something I haven't.
15:48I have no idea how that earring ended up in the barrel store.
15:52But I just want this to be the end of it.
15:55If not, then I'll just have to go and drink at the Albert.
15:58Which I'd rather not do,
15:59because the Wendy's have always said I'd be very popular as a lesbian.
16:04Okay, well, you know, don't...
16:06Don't let that put you off, cos they'd nearly get me trapped.
16:08Oh, there she is.
16:09Now, Jane...
16:10Zoe, Dr Truman, I'm so sorry to interrupt your cosy little drink.
16:15I just wondered, do you like my earrings?
16:17Has she accused you yet of being her fantasy terroriser?
16:21You'll be next on the list.
16:23Oh, she has already.
16:25Oh, and people call me the mad one.
16:27Why would you?
16:29Why would I what?
16:31Terrorise you? Stalk you? Torment you?
16:34I have no idea.
16:36But I'm sure you'll come up with 101 reasons why I would.
16:38You're a nasty woman, Zoe.
16:41Turning my family and loved ones against me.
16:44Stacey was stalked for months. Terrorised for months.
16:47How dare you suggest that I could do the same?
16:51But if it's your earring...
16:53Haven't you ever lost an earring?
16:55Do you know what? If you're so infatuated with them...
16:58Here.
17:00Have them. Be my guest.
17:04She's just a little bit of steam.
17:07You knew, didn't you?
17:16Call me nosy and tell me to do one, but I just thought I would check on you on my way home.
17:22You okay?
17:26He was getting on alright when I looked.
17:28Wine.
17:30Wine.
17:32Wine.
17:38He is...
17:40a big, soft idiot.
17:42But he is my big, soft idiot.
17:45So you're getting back together?
17:48I don't know.
17:49I don't know.
17:51You want to be certain?
17:53I really, really do.
17:59You know, he, um...
18:01He opened up tonight.
18:03About his dad.
18:06And it's got me thinking.
18:08You know, my dad was 40 when he had me.
18:10And my mum was 16.
18:12Still in school.
18:14And then 20 years later, he had a thing with Zoe, Kat's daughter.
18:18I don't think she was much older and he was knocking on 60 then.
18:22It's disgusting.
18:24And my bet is that if he was alive now, at 80, he would still be ogling every woman he saw.
18:30I mean, we give it fancy names.
18:33Do studies about it.
18:35Blame the internet.
18:37But it's just basic, male, disgusting nature.
18:40That's the truth.
18:42Don't think it is though.
18:44I think that most blokes, you know, they want what we want.
18:46They want to cuddle up and laugh at things together and be happy and have kids and, you know, watch your TV.
18:59What's this popping over in a bit with some beers?
19:04His idea or yours?
19:05My suggestion would be to work around the outside space first.
19:10The only thing that your question...
19:16You've been gone ages.
19:23I see.
19:36Are you a member of this family?
19:39These Fords?
19:42Did you want to get close to me because you wanted to get closer to Cindy?
19:45Cindy!
19:47Cindy, who I work with, who I spend most of my time with.
19:49Yeah, Oscar, she's the reason I wanted to be with you.
19:52Jimmy!
19:54Who do you want revenge on?
19:56What?
19:58Nigel heard you saying you want revenge for someone.
20:01What? Nigel the bloke with dementia who can't even remember what day of the week it is?
20:06I want to trust you.
20:08Just trust me then.
20:17I'm telling the truth, right? Cindy came at me.
20:21I only pushed her because I thought she was going to hit me, Oscar.
20:25I could see it in her eyes.
20:30The other story makes more sense.
20:35I don't mind bringing your mum's night bag back once I've seen you the boys.
20:38And then...
20:40Bye, then.
20:41I don't mind bringing your mum's night bag back once I've seen you the boys.
20:42And then maybe you can go and talk to Freddie.
20:43No, no.
20:44Can you hang around for a minute?
20:45Yeah, of course.
20:46Hey.
20:47Sorry I missed your calls.
20:48I don't mind bringing your mum's night bag back once I've seen you the boys.
20:51And then maybe you can go and talk to Freddie.
20:52No, no.
20:53Can you hang around for me?
20:54Yeah, of course.
20:55Hey.
20:56Sorry I missed your calls.
20:57I was in the hospital.
20:58My mum was attacked again.
20:59What's she mean?
21:00What happened?
21:01She's out of surgery.
21:02I'm just picking up her night things.
21:03Yeah, you're all right.
21:04I'm going travelling.
21:05I've been meaning to tell you.
21:06But all this stuff with my mum made me think about the future.
21:07And then...
21:08I don't know.
21:09Can you hang around for a minute?
21:10Yeah, of course.
21:11Hey.
21:12Sorry I missed your calls.
21:13I was in the hospital.
21:14My mum was attacked again.
21:15What's she mean?
21:16What happened?
21:17She's out of surgery.
21:18Erm, I'm just picking up her night things.
21:20Yeah, you're all right.
21:22I'm going travelling.
21:25I've been meaning to tell you.
21:29But all this stuff with my mum made me think about the future.
21:33And how you never know what's around the corner.
21:36Why'd you get back with me?
21:38You knew you wouldn't, were you?
21:41I'm sorry.
21:42I know I should have said.
21:44But I've been mixed up.
21:46Look, Anna, you've got to do what's right for you.
21:50Sorry, Freddie.
21:52But when I was in New Zealand, it was the best thing for me, you know?
21:56Just figuring out who I was, what I wanted.
21:58Fran, why don't I come with you?
22:02Yeah, yeah, it's good.
22:05I've got enough savings.
22:07The only person that would keep me here is Nan.
22:09And then she'd let me go.
22:10She'd be good with it.
22:11Yeah, we'll travel the world together.
22:13I'd like that.
22:15Yeah?
22:16Yeah.
22:17Okay.
22:18Yeah.
22:19Yeah.
22:20Yeah.
22:28Sorry.
22:29Sorry.
22:37Zoe, I'm sorry, all right?
22:40We should have told you as soon as we knew it was Jean's earring.
22:43Why didn't you?
22:45Because we wanted to avoid that, what happened downstairs.
22:49Zoe, we were gonna tell you after closing tonight, you know?
22:52You know, accusing people is one thing, but Jean...
22:55His family?
22:56She ain't my family.
22:57Fragile.
22:58She's fragile.
22:59Oh, yeah.
23:00So fragile that she can still have a go at me.
23:03You accuse her and she reacts more than most because of how she's feeling right now.
23:08You know, Stacy being away and that.
23:11And me and Alfie, we've been talking about it and after the way she reacted downstairs,
23:17we really think she's not behind all this.
23:20Well, listen, we did.
23:21At one point, a hundred percent, but Jean's not a liar.
23:24And if she was, I promise you so, she'd throw it right in your face.
23:27Yeah, he's right.
23:28How could you say it ain't Jean?
23:31Listen, you just heard her gobbin' off downstairs.
23:35She airs her dirty laundry for the world to see, all right?
23:39She doesn't plot.
23:41She doesn't scheme in the dark.
23:42But she's got a key to this house.
23:44She knows our history and where do it us where it hurts.
23:47Yeah.
23:48You know, Zoe, there was a part of me that hoping it was Jean.
23:52Because that way we'd know what we're dealing with.
23:55Now, if it's not, and honestly, it's me personally, I don't think it is.
24:00Which means we're in the dark.
24:02So, we've got no idea who's doing this, and more importantly, no idea what they're capable of.
24:08You are not on your own, darling, all right?
24:12You've got me and Alfie.
24:13We won't let anything happen to you.
24:15Then stop letting Jean pull the wool over your eyes.
24:18Wake up.
24:20She is the one doing this to me.
24:22I know it.
24:23I wasn't really expecting you to be here.
24:27I'm just on my way out, but Vicky's upstairs.
24:32And now that I've seen you, I think this is a mistake.
24:38It's not really up to you, is it?
24:41The police were here earlier.
24:43They dropped off the clothes that she was wearing when your son attacked her.
24:47The son that she's going to have to face in court because he's too much of a coward to plead guilty.
24:53Think about it, Ross.
24:55It's too soon.
24:56And I know it's easy to want to jump ahead, but it's not good if the timing's not right.
25:06Yeah, erm, okay.
25:09Maybe you're right.
25:14Yeah, I'll give her some space.
25:16But if you get a chance, do us a favour.
25:19Try and tell her that I'm not one of the bad guys.
25:21I'm not a good judge of men.
25:23It's better you prove it to her yourself.
25:29Yeah.
25:36See you later.
25:41Oh, I thought I heard Ross.
25:43Er, you did.
25:44But he said something came up.
25:46He's sorry and he wanted you to have the beers.
25:51You saw him off, didn't you?
25:56Put this in the fridge.
26:07Cindy's out of surgery, okay?
26:09They're just keeping her in overnight.
26:12And Ian's got the boys.
26:19Um...
26:22She's gone.
26:27We're over.
26:33I'm sorry.
26:36We're over.
26:41I've got a chance.
26:43It's the cat, but I'm not the cat.
26:44It's my cat.
26:50It's my cat.
26:52I've got a little cat, so it's a cat's.
26:58We're almost the cat.
27:01I see it then.
