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.
05:54Cindy's in the hospital.
05:55I found her.
05:56Thought she was dead.
05:57Peter's lot.
05:58Thought you did it, but I've said you didn't.
05:59Why are you packing?
06:00Um, I- I- I just thought I'd get a head start.
06:14You never...
06:17With Cindy, you're not part of a criminal family that wants her dead, right?
06:21Cause that's weird.
06:22What are you talking about?
06:23You're not part of a criminal family that wants her dead, right?
06:26Because that's weird.
06:28What are you talking about?
06:30I'm a girl from Croydon who works in a gay bar
06:33and likes watching reruns of Miss Marvel.
06:35I'm me.
06:41Jazz, why is there a blow in your shoe?
06:47Look, it doesn't matter.
06:48Whatever you've done, you've had to do.
06:50Yes, I pushed Cindy down the stairs.
06:52Well, you tried to kill Cindy.
06:54No, of course not.
06:57I was just having a drink on the stairs.
06:59And then she came out of nowhere and she started yelling at me,
07:02saying that she knew who I really was
07:04and that she was going to get me before I could get her or something.
07:07And this, after we saw her going through my stuff,
07:10then 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.
07:21Of course you did.
07:33You must have been really scared.
07:35I was.
07:39And then I thought, well, Cindy's just going to tell the police
07:42that I pushed her, so I may as well just pack up and go.
07:45She'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.
08:17Do you really think they're going to listen?
08:18It's probably worth a try.
08:24Trust me.
08:26Yeah?
08:28Just...
08:29don't leave.
08:31As it's our anniversary,
08:43I have been thinking a lot about you and what happened.
08:50I'm just really angry with myself.
08:52It's just words.
08:56No, it's not.
08:57It's not.
08:59What have I got to do?
09:01I'm in love with you, stupid.
09:03Stupid?
09:04Yeah, stupid.
09:06The same way I'm stupid.
09:07And worse.
09:09For letting it all happen.
09:10But we are rubbish about each other.
09:16I mean, even you know that.
09:19Oh!
09:20What was that for?
09:22Come on.
09:24You should have dealt with Joel.
09:26The minute you knew,
09:27instead of paying that girl's parents off.
09:29I know.
09:32Still I need to fund me.
09:33Oh, shut up.
09:34You know I bruise like a bitch.
09:36Yeah.
09:36I remember from when Spencer hit you.
09:38You're right.
09:44We are rubbish about each other.
09:47How pathetic is that?
09:50Yeah.
09:51Really pathetic.
09:56Everything is going on at the moment.
09:58All the 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.
10:06I hope Peter won't cope with that, not again.
10:09No.
10:11And she has been making good on her promises.
10:14You know, fresh start.
10:16Running the Albert.
10:18I was actually starting to think, you know, that...
10:21That it could work out.
10:23You really don't like her, do you?
10:36Well, no-one likes their mother-in-laws, do they?
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.
10:52But I've got...
10:54I've got too much stuff to work through first.
11:00And with the Ford sniffing around again,
11:01it'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.
11:19So...
11:20And...
11:22Well, she did say that she would help me bury the body
11:25if I ever did kill your mum,
11:26which, obviously, at the time, I thought she was joking.
11:29In.
11:34Anything?
11:36They're, uh...
11:37taking her into surgery.
11:39Anna's been waiting with her.
11:41They're going to pin her elbow,
11:42but they're worried about complications.
11:44Um, they...
11:45They keep asking about what happened.
11:48What, you told them about the Ford?
11:49No.
11:50Look, your mum always reckoned
11:52that the Ford's had police on their payroll, okay?
11:54So...
11:55I've spoken to Mary, her witness protection handler,
11:57and she's now on the case.
11:59And she's...
12:00She's going to stop the police
12:01from looking into it any further.
12:03Oh, and she was also upset
12:04that she'd been so dismissive of your mum.
12:06Oh.
12:06Well, she probably should have done her job better than her.
12:10What are you doing here?
12:11I've seen Jasmine.
12:13She's not who you're 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,
12:19but she didn't do anything.
12:20She pushed her.
12:21She attacked Cindy, right?
12:22And now...
12:22Has Cindy said that,
12:23or are you just jumping to conclusions?
12:24You?
12:24Huh?
12:25You've got no idea
12:26what you are talking about.
12:27We have all had our lives
12:29turned upside down for years.
12:31The Fords have put us through hell.
12:33Oscar, open your eyes.
12:35Your girlfriend is a psycho.
12:37She's part of a criminal family.
12:39Years ago, all right, Cindy was sharing a prison cell
12:47with this woman called Jackie Ford, okay?
12:50She informed on her.
12:52She got put into witness protection
12:53and given a new identity.
12:55I was told she was dead.
12:56Mum never got to see Peter grow up, you know.
12:59She left us when we were kids because of the Fords.
13:02That don't mean Jasmine's one of them.
13:04What, you really think she just fell in love with you?
13:08I mean, you're hardly God's gift, are you?
13:09Oi!
13:10I mean, obviously, she did it
13:12so she'd get close to Cindy.
13:15Look, Oscar, Cindy...
13:18She mentioned that...
13:20Jasmine said something about
13:22wanting to get revenge on somebody.
13:25I know that you've really, really fallen for her,
13:28but you've got to face the truth.
13:40Accusing me of terrorising Zoe?
13:44I mean, look at me, Freddie.
13:47Be honest.
13:48Do I look like I could terrorise someone?
13:51You're the least terrorising person I've ever met.
13:55At least someone in the family really knows me.
14:00I mean, where was Zoe
14:02when Cat was to-ing and fro-ing
14:04between Phil and Alfie?
14:06When Tommy had a gun pointed at him?
14:08When the house burnt down and Cat got scarred?
14:11Where was she, eh?
14:12When we all had to go through
14:14the whole flipping Hayley saga?
14:16When Charlie died, where was she?
14:18Nowhere! Nowhere!
14:20She's been back two minutes
14:21and suddenly I'm the villain!
14:23Do you know what? I'm not having this.
14:26I'm going to the pub.
14:27You coming?
14:27No, Nan. I think you need to sit down and stay here.
14:29No, I'm sorry, Freddie.
14:31I am sick of not sticking up for myself.
14:34Zoe Slater needs to get what's coming to her!
14:40Go.
14:40I don't know why I thought coming back here
14:44would be any different.
14:45Yeah.
14:47I never thought I'd be back in this pub.
14:50Seeing a cat behind the bar.
14:52Sleeping under my dad's roof again.
14:55Being here with you.
14:56Right pair of losers.
14:57The doctor in me would suggest
15:02you've developed a bit of codependency
15:05since you've been back.
15:06Me?
15:06Codependent?
15:08Yeah, that sounds about right.
15:09I've been addicted to a few things,
15:11so now mother issues.
15:14You don't need Cat.
15:15You don't need anybody.
15:17You've always been your own person.
15:20That's one of the things
15:20I've always admired about you.
15:22Right.
15:23And what is it you admired about Cat, eh?
15:26A collection of African roadkill dresses?
15:32Jane!
15:34What are you expecting?
15:35You're here tonight.
15:36Yes, well, I was angry earlier.
15:39Very.
15:40With both of you.
15:41Okay.
15:42It's understandable.
15:43So if we just sleep on it and then...
15:45I will not be made to feel
15:46that I have done something I haven't.
15:48I have no idea
15:49how that earring ended up
15:51in the barrel's door.
15:52But I just want this
15:53to be the end of it.
15:55If not,
15:56then I'll just have to go
15:56and drink at the Albert.
15:58Which I'd rather not do
16:00because the Wendy's have always said
16:01I'd be very popular as a lesbian.
16:04Okay, well, you know,
16:05don't let that put you off
16:07because they'd normally get a little crack.
16:08Oh, there she is.
16:09Now, Jane, I...
16:11Zoe, Dr. Truman,
16:13I'm so sorry to interrupt
16:14your cosy little drink.
16:15I just wondered,
16:16do you like my earrings?
16:18Has she accused you yet
16:19of being her fantasy terroriser?
16:21Oh, you'll be next on the list.
16:24Oh, she has already.
16:26Oh, and people call me the mad one.
16:28Why would you?
16:29Why would I what?
16:31Terrorise you?
16:32Stalk you?
16:33Torment you?
16:34I have no idea,
16:36but I'm sure you'll come up
16:37with 101 reasons why I would.
16:39You're a nasty woman, Zoe,
16:41turning my family
16:42and loved ones against me.
16:44Stacey was stalked for months,
16:46terrorised for months.
16:48How dare you suggest
16:49that 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?
16:56If you're so infatuated with them,
16:58here.
17:00Have them.
17:01Be my guest.
17:01She's just letting up a bit of steam.
17:07You knew, didn't you?
17:17Call me nosy
17:18and tell me to do one,
17:19but I just thought
17:20I would check on you
17:21on my way home.
17:23You OK?
17:23You OK?
17:24He was getting on all right
17:28when I looked.
17:31Wine.
17:33Wine.
17:34He is
17:39a big, soft idiot.
17:44In fact, he is my big, soft idiot.
17:47So you're getting back together?
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
18:09when he had me
18:10and my mum was 16.
18:12Still in school.
18:12And then 20 years later,
18:15he had a thing with Zoe,
18:16Kat's daughter.
18:18I don't think she was much older
18:19and he was knocking on 60 then.
18:23It's disgusting.
18:25And my bet is
18:26that if he was alive now,
18:27at 80,
18:28he would still be ogling
18:29every woman he saw.
18:31I mean,
18:32we give it fancy names,
18:34do studies about it,
18:36blame the internet,
18:37but it's just basic
18:38male, disgusting nature.
18:40That's the truth.
18:41I don't think it is, though.
18:43I think that
18:44most blokes, you know,
18:46they want what we want.
18:47They want to
18:48cuddle up
18:49and laugh at things together
18:51and be happy
18:52and have kids
18:53and, you know,
18:55watch a TV.
19:00What's this popping over
19:01in a bit with some beers?
19:05His idea or yours?
19:06Yes.
19:06My suggestion would be
19:08to work around
19:09the outside of the air first.
19:11Everything that you're
19:11pushing on...
19:12You've been gone ages.
19:24I see.
19:24Are you a member
19:37of this family?
19:40These Fords?
19:43Did you only get close to me
19:44because you wanted
19:44to get closer to Cindy?
19:45Cindy!
19:47Cindy, who I work with,
19:48who I spend most
19:49of my time with.
19:49Yeah, Oscar,
19:50she's the reason
19:51I wanted to be with you.
19:52Jimmy!
19:52Who do you want
19:55revenge on?
19:57What?
19:58Nigel heard you
19:59saying you want
20:00revenge for someone.
20:01What?
20:01Nigel, the bloke
20:02with dementia
20:03who can't even remember
20:03what day of the week it is?
20:06I want to trust you.
20:08Just trust me, then.
20:17I'm telling the truth,
20:19right?
20:20Cindy came at me.
20:21I only pushed her
20:22because I thought
20:22she was going
20:22to hit me, Oscar.
20:25I could see it
20:26in her eyes.
20:30The other story
20:31makes more sense.
20:41Bye, then.
20:41I don't mind bringing
21:02your mum's night bag back
21:03once I've seen
21:04to the boys,
21:05and then maybe
21:05you can go and
21:06talk to Freddie.
21:08Hello.
21:08Can you hang around
21:10for a minute?
21:11Yeah, of course.
21:12Hey, sorry I missed
21:14your calls.
21:15I was in the hospital
21:16and my mum was
21:17attacked again.
21:17What did she mean?
21:18What happened?
21:18She's out of surgery.
21:20I'm just picking up
21:21her night things.
21:22Are you all right?
21:25I'm going travelling.
21:28I've been meaning
21:29to tell you,
21:30but all this stuff
21:32with my mum
21:32made me think
21:33about the future
21:33and how you never
21:35know what's
21:35around the corner.
21:37Why'd you get
21:37back with me?
21:40You knew you
21:41wouldn't, would you?
21:42I'm sorry.
21:43I know I should have
21:44said,
21:45but I've been
21:46mixed up.
21:48Look, Anna,
21:49you've got to do
21:50what's right for you.
21:52Sorry, Freddie,
21:53but when I was
21:54in New Zealand,
21:55it was the best
21:56thing for me,
21:57you know,
21:57just figuring out
21:57who I was,
21:58what I wanted.
22:02Fine, why don't
22:02I come with you?
22:05Yeah, yeah,
22:06it's good.
22:07I've got enough
22:07savings.
22:08The only person
22:09that would keep me
22:09here is Nan,
22:10and then she'd
22:10let me go.
22:11She'd be good with it.
22:12Yeah, we'll travel
22:13the world together.
22:15I'd like that.
22:16Yeah?
22:18Yeah.
22:19Okay.
22:20Yeah.
22:20Yeah.
22:32Zoe,
22:38Zoe, I'm sorry,
22:38all right?
22:41We should have told you
22:42as soon as we knew
22:43it was Jean's hearing.
22:44Why didn't you?
22:46Because we wanted
22:47to avoid that,
22:48what happened
22:48downstairs.
22:49Zoe,
22:50we were going to tell
22:50you after closing
22:51tonight, you know?
22:53You know,
22:53accusing people
22:54is one thing,
22:55but Jean...
22:56With family?
22:57She ain't my family.
22:58Fragile.
22:59She's fragile.
23:00Oh, yeah.
23:01So fragile
23:01that she can still
23:02have a go at me.
23:04You accuse her
23:05and she reacts
23:06more than most
23:06because of how
23:07she's feeling right now.
23:09You know,
23:10Stacey being away
23:10and that.
23:14And me and Alfie,
23:15we've been talking
23:15about it,
23:16and after the way
23:16she reacted downstairs,
23:18we really think
23:19she's not behind
23:20all this.
23:21Oh, listen,
23:21we did.
23:22At 1.100%,
23:23but Jean's not a liar.
23:25And if she was,
23:26I promise you,
23:26so she threw it
23:27right in your face.
23:28Yeah, he's right.
23:29How could you say
23:30it ain't Jean?
23:33Listen,
23:33you just heard
23:34her gobbin' off
23:35downstairs.
23:36She airs her
23:37dirty laundry
23:37for the world
23:38to see,
23:39all right?
23:40It doesn't plot.
23:41It doesn't scheme
23:42in the dark.
23:43But she's got
23:43a key to this house.
23:45She knows our history
23:46and where do it
23:47is where it hurts.
23:48Yeah.
23:49You know,
23:50Zoe,
23:50there was a part of me
23:51that hoping it was Jean.
23:54Because that way
23:55we'd know
23:55what we're dealing with.
23:56Now,
23:57if it's not,
23:57and honestly,
23:58it's me personally,
23:59I don't think it is.
24:01Which means
24:01we're in the dark.
24:03So,
24:04we've got no idea
24:05who's doing this
24:06and more importantly,
24:07no idea
24:07what they're capable of.
24:10You are not
24:10on your own,
24:11darling,
24:11all right?
24:13You've got me
24:13and Alfie.
24:14We won't let
24:15anything happen to you.
24:16Then stop letting
24:17Jean pull the wool
24:17over your eyes.
24:19Wake up.
24:21She is the one
24:21doing this to me.
24:22I know it.
24:23I wasn't really
24:26expecting you to be here.
24:28I'm just on my way out,
24:29but Vicky's upstairs.
24:32And now that I've seen you,
24:35I think this is a mistake.
24:39It's not really up to you,
24:40is it?
24:41The police were here earlier.
24:44They dropped off the clothes
24:45that she was wearing
24:46when your son attacked her.
24:48The son
24:49that she's going to have
24:50to face in court
24:50because he's too much
24:51of a coward
24:52to plead guilty.
24:54Think about it, Ross.
24:56It's too soon.
24:58And I know it's easy
24:59to want to jump ahead,
25:00but
25:01it's not good
25:03if the timing's not right.
25:08Yeah,
25:08um,
25:09okay,
25:10maybe you're right.
25:14Yeah,
25:15I'll,
25:15I'll give her some space.
25:16But if you get a chance,
25:19do us a favour.
25:20Try and tell her
25:20that I'm not one of the bad guys.
25:22Not a good judge of men.
25:25It's better you prove it
25:26to her yourself.
25:30Yeah.
25:37See you later.
25:42Oh, I thought I heard wrong.
25:44Er, you did.
25:44But he said
25:46something came up.
25:47He's sorry
25:48and he wanted you
25:49to have the biz.
25:52You saw him off,
25:53didn't you?
25:56Put this in the fridge.
25:57Cindy's out of surgery,
26:09okay?
26:10They're just keeping her in
26:11overnight.
26:12And Ian's got the boys.
26:20Um,
26:21she's gone.
26:24We're over.
26:29We're over.
26:33I'm sorry.
26:34I'm sorry.
26:43But this is not their home.
26:46we're over.
26:47I don't know.
