00:00I love you guys.
00:30Come on, mate. Pull us again. Dinner's ready.
00:44There you go. Vegan bean cutlets for you lot.
00:46Mmm, look amazing. I like my stoke with the blood still losing out of it.
00:50Still mooing, Ian's nan used to say.
00:52Gran.
00:54What?
00:56Oh, look, I'm sorry. I forgot. You enjoy your meatless things.
01:01Although, I've got to say, Lauren, I mean, you can't drink and 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 night to me. 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 with.
01:35I can't take any chances of her just leading Oscar into God knows what.
01:38Oh, 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, um, this woman, she say anything about the Fords?
01:47The Fords?
01:49Yeah.
01:50Well, what are you talking about?
01:53Didn't your mum say?
01:55She's... I got it into her head that, um, Jasmine's...
02:00Well, she's a Ford and she's been sent to spy on her.
02:02Oh, 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?
02:10That they were going to look into it.
02:13Look, your mum's... your mum's really scared.
02:16I mean, personally, I think she's overreacting, but, um...
02:19Maybe 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.
02:32Blood pouring down her head.
02:34I was 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.
02:45I know that you are dealing with everything the best way you can,
02:49but some am I.
02:51You know, it...
02:53It can't be up that I'm Joel's dad.
02:55I tried to raise him good.
02:59You know, I treated him a lot better than my old man ever treated me.
03:03Let me tell you that.
03:04You know, Joel never grew up looking over his shoulder
03:06wondering where the beating was coming from.
03:09You shouldn't have to use violence to teach a boy how to be a man.
03:15Er, sorry, can I get a whisky, mate, please?
03:18Oh, no, I'm not staying.
03:22Vicky.
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.
03:47I 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.
03:59Because he's eating that cat.
04:01Zoe's going to go ballistic when she finds out his chin's earring.
04:05Listen, you haven't got to say anything, alright?
04:07Wait, hey!
04:08What are you talking about?
04:09What's the matter?
04:10We're in this together.
04:11Come on.
04:12Right, down in one.
04:13Right, in that case, we wait until closing.
04:14Okay.
04:15Let her finish her shift.
04:16We bolt the doors and we do this together.
04:17Yeah.
04:18And we stick to the facts.
04:19Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:20Right, well, we found the earring after the vandalism and it's Jean's.
04:22Okay.
04:23And the reason why we didn't tell Zoe straight away is because we weren't sure.
04:25But anyway, you confronted Jean.
04:26She got all defensive and, like, stormed out, yeah?
04:28Yeah, that's good.
04:29That's good, okay.
04:30Let's hope Jean comes in for a drink tonight, though, yeah?
04:32Yeah?
04:33Yeah, that's good.
04:34That's good, okay.
04:35Let's hope Jean comes in for a drink tonight, though, yeah?
04:37Yeah?
04:38Yeah, that's good.
04:39Yeah, that's good.
04:40That's good, okay.
04:41Let's hope Jean comes in for a drink tonight, though, yeah?
04:44I'm joking.
04:45Okay, don't have to waste your left early when it ain't gonna happen.
04:47But anyway, what we need to do, we need to comfort Zoe, you know, calm her down and put
04:51on a united front.
04:52I'll have one.
04:53Okay, ready?
04:54Oh, so, I was storyboarding.
04:59That's a term we use in films.
05:02I saw it.
05:03And I could see that, um...
05:05Co-joke.
05:06Co-joke, yes.
05:08He was really interested.
05:10Why, the picture looked like a scene in Home Alone.
05:12That's it, yeah, yeah.
05:14Home Alone.
05:15So 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.
05:25Oh, where?
05:26Oh, right.
05:27Yeah, yeah.
05:28I've just had a brilliant idea for the opening shot.
05:31To the storyboard, Robin.
05:33Oh.
05:34Oh, it's good to see Kaijo so happy.
05:39He's been missing hanging out with Harry, so this will cheer him up.
05:43Yeah.
05:44Talking about hanging out with people, I wanted to talk to you about...
05:50Hey, Peter.
05:51Mum's been attacked.
05:53Hey.

05:59Why are you packing?
06:00Um...

06:04You never...
06:07With Cindy, you...
06:08You're not part of a criminal family that wants her dead, right?
06:10you did it but i've said you didn't why are you packing um i i just thought i'd get a head start

10:01just
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 running the alba
10:18i was actually starting to think you know that
10:22it could work out
10:23you really don't like her dear
10:36no one likes the mother-in-laws do they
10:39yeah yeah yeah that's fair
10:42i'm not sure if i like her myself to be honest
10:44i do love her though
10:53but i've got
10:55i've got too much stuff to work through first
11:00and with the fords sniffing around again it's just all going to be up in the air
11:03do you really think that jasmine did this
11:14her mum did say that her father's family were dodgy
11:21and well she did say that she would help me bury the body if i ever did kill your mum which
11:26obviously at the time i thought she was joking
11:34anything
11:36they're uh taking her into surgery and has been waiting with her
11:41they're going to pin her elbow but they're worried about complications
11:44um they keep asking about what happened
11:48what you told them about the fall
11:49no
11:50okay your mum always reckoned that the falls had police on their payroll
11:54okay so i've spoken to mary a witness protection handler and she's now on the case and she
12:00she's going to stop the police from looking into it any further oh and she was also upset
12:04that she'd been so dismissive of your mother well she probably should have done her job better
12:08than her what are you doing i've seen jasmine okay she's not who you're saying she's all right
12:14sorry well she's not going to admit it is she no she was there when cindy fell but she didn't
12:19do anything she pushed her she attacked cindy right and now cindy said that or you just
12:23jump into conclusions huh you've got no idea what you are talking about we have all had our lives
12:28turned upside down for years the thoughts have put us through hell oscar open your eyes
12:35your girlfriend is a psycho she's part of a criminal family
12:39years ago all right cindy was sharing a prison cell with this woman called jackie ford okay
12:50she informed on her she got put into witness protection and given a new identity i was told
12:55she was dead mum never got to see peter grow up you know she left us when we were kids because of
13:01the foods that don't mean jasmine's one of them what you really think she just fell in love with
13:07you i mean you're hardly god's gift are you i mean obviously she did it so she'd get close to cindy
13:15look oscar cindy she mentioned that jasmine said something about wanting to get revenge on somebody
13:24i know that you've really really fallen for her but you've got to face the truth
13:40accusing me of terrorizing zoe i mean look at me freddie be honest do i look like i could
13:49terrorize someone you're the least terrorizing person i've ever met thank you at least someone
13:56in the family really knows me i mean where was zoe when when when cat was toing and froing between
14:05phil and alfie when when when tommy had a gun pointed at him when the house burnt down and cat
14:10got scarred where was she eh when we all had to go through the whole flipping hayley saga when when
14:16charlie died where was she nowhere nowhere she's been back two minutes and suddenly i'm the villain
14:24do you know what i'm not having this i'm going to the pub you coming no no i think you need to
14:28sit down and stay here no i'm sorry freddie i am sick of not sticking up for myself zoe slater
14:35needs to get what's coming to her yeah i don't know why i thought coming back here would be any
14:44different yeah i never thought i'd be back in this pub seeing a cat behind the bar sleeping under my
14:53dad's roof again being here with you right pair of losers the doctor in me would suggest you've
15:03developed a bit of codependency since you've been back me codependent yeah that sounds about right
15:09i've been addicted to a few things so now mother issues you don't need cat you don't need anybody
15:18you've always been your own person that's one of the things i've always admired about you right
15:23and what is it you admired about cat a collection of african roadkill dresses
15:32jane we're expecting you here tonight yes well i was angry earlier very with both of you okay
15:42it's understandable so if we just sleep on it and i will not be made to feel that i have done
15:46something i haven't i have no idea how that earring ended up in the barrel store but i just want this
15:53to be the end of it if not then i'll just have to go and drink at the albert which i'd rather not do
16:00because the wendys have always said i'd be very popular as a lesbian okay well you know don't let that
16:07put you off because they'd normally get a little crack oh there she is now jane
16:11zoe dr truman i'm so sorry to interrupt your cozy little drink i just wondered do you like my
16:16earrings has she accused you yet of being her fantasy terrorizer you'll be next on the list
16:24oh she has already oh and people call me the mad one why would you why would i what
16:29terrorize you stalk you torment you i have no idea but i'm sure you'll come up with 101 reasons why i
16:38would you're a nasty woman zoe turning my family and loved ones against me stacy was stalked for
16:46months terrorized for months how dare you suggest that i could do the same but if it's your earring
16:53haven't you ever lost an earring do you know what if you're so infatuated with them here have them be my
17:01guest she's just a little bit of steam you knew didn't you
17:17call me nosy and tell me to do one but i just thought i would
17:21check on you on my way home you okay
17:27he was getting on all right when i looked
17:31wine wine
17:38he is a big soft idiot
17:43but he is my big soft idiot
17:45so you're getting back together
17:49i don't know
17:52you want to be certain
17:54i really really do
17:59you know he um he opened up tonight about his dad
18:06and it's got me thinking you know my dad was 40 when he had me and my mum was 16
18:11still in school and then 20 years later he had a thing with zoe cat's daughter
18:18i don't think she was much older and he was knocking on 60 then
18:23it's disgusting and 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 do studies about it blame the internet but it's just basic male
18:38disgusting nature that's the truth
18:41don't think it is though
18:44i think that most blokes you know they want what we want they want to cuddle up and laugh at things
18:50together and be happy and have kids and you know watch your tv
19:00what's this popping over in a bit with some beers
19:05his idea or yours

20:08just trust me then
20:16i'm telling the truth right cindy came at me i only pushed her because i thought she was going
20:22to hit me oscar
20:25i could see it in her eyes
20:27the other story makes more sense
20:41bye then
20:50i don't mind bringing your mum's night bag back once i've seen to the boys and then maybe you can go and talk to freddie
21:05can you hang around for me yeah of course hey sorry i missed your calls
21:15i was in the hospital my mom was attacked again
21:17what you mean what happened she's out of surgery um i'm just picking up her night things are you all right
21:25i'm going traveling
21:28i've been meaning to tell you
21:31but all this stuff with my mum made me think about the future
21:33and how you never know what's around the corner
21:37why'd you get back with me
21:40you knew you wouldn't be
21:42i'm sorry i know i should have said
21:45but i've been mixed up
21:48look anna you've got to do what's right for you
21:52sorry freddie but when i was in new zealand it was the best thing for me you know just figuring out
21:57who i was what i wanted
22:02fine why don't i come with you
22:05yeah yeah it's it's good i've i've got enough savings the only person that would keep me here is
22:10nan and then she'd let me go she'd be good with it yeah we travel the world together
22:15i'd like that yeah yeah okay yeah yeah
22:27so
22:37so i'm sorry all right
22:41we should have told you as soon as we knew it's gene's hearing why didn't you
22:46because we wanted to avoid that what happened downstairs
22:49so we were going to tell you after closing tonight you know
22:53you know accusing people is one thing but gene
22:55is family she ain't my family fragile she's fragile oh yeah so fragile that she can still
23:02have a go at me you accuse her and she reacts more than most because of how she's feeling right
23:08now you know stacy being away and that
23:14i mean alfie we've been talking about it and after the way she reacted downstairs
23:18we really think she's not behind all this oh listen we did at one point hundred percent but
23:23gene's not a lawyer and if she was i promise you so she threw it right in your face yeah he's
23:28right how could you say it ain't gene listen you just heard her gobbing off downstairs
23:36she airs her dirty laundry for the world to see all right it doesn't plot you don't scheme
23:42him in the dark but she's got a key to this house she knows our history and where do it us where
23:47it hurts yeah you know so there was there was a part of me that hoping it was gene
23:54because that way we would know what we're dealing with now if it's not and honestly it's me
23:59personally i don't think it is which means we're in the dark so we've got no idea who's doing this
24:06and more importantly no idea what they're capable of you are not on your own darling right you've got
24:13me and alfie we won't let anything happen to you then stop letting gene pull the wool over your eyes
24:19wake up she is the one doing this to me i know it
24:23i wasn't really expecting you to be um i'm just on my way out but vicky's upstairs
24:32and now that i've seen you i think this is a mistake
24:40it's not really up to you is it the police were here earlier they dropped off the clothes that she
24:45was wearing when your son attacked her the son that she's going to have to face in court because
24:51he's too much of a coward to plead guilty think about it ross it's too soon and i know it's easy
24:59to want to jump ahead but it's not good if the timing's not right yeah um okay maybe you're right
25:10i'll give her some space but if you get a chance do us a favor try and tell her that i'm not one of the
25:21bad guys i'm not a good judge of men it's better you prove it to her yourself
25:30yeah
25:37see you later
25:37oh i thought i heard ross uh you did but he said something came up he's sorry and he wanted
25:49you to have the biz
25:52you saw him off didn't you
25:56put this in the fridge
26:08cindy's out of surgery okay they're just keeping her in overnight and ian's got the boys
26:21who we couldn't do her because she's a woman and she's not her wife i'm sorry
