00:26MUSIC PLAYS
00:56Come on, mate. Pull us again. Dinner's ready.
00:58There you go. Vegan bean cutlets for you lot.
01:00Mm, look amazing.
01:02I like my stoke with the blood still oozing out of it.
01:05Still mooing, his nan used to say.
01:07Gran.
01:08What?
01:09Oh, look, I'm sorry, I forgot.
01:13You enjoy your meatless things.
01:15Although, I've got to say, Lauren,
01:17I mean, you can't drink and now you're not eating meat.
01:19Don't you find it all a bit boring?
01:21Well, I feel a lot healthier and, you know, I'm still here.
01:25Yeah, yeah, take the notes of me. What do I know?
01:28Help yourself to mash and veg, then?
01:30Yeah, thanks very much for this, Dad.
01:32So, what's she like, then, this Jasmine's mum?
01:35Nice. Elegant.
01:37Nothing like Jasmine said.
01:39I was expecting her to be all right.
01:40No!
01:43Anyway, I've told Jasmine that I'll give her till the end of the week
01:46and then she's going to have to find somewhere else.
01:48Not because of anything her mum's with,
01:49but I can't take any chances of her just leading Oscar into God knows what.
01:53Oh, you're doing the right thing.
01:55Peter, you should give him some extra ales on the stall, you know,
01:57keep him occupied.
01:59Did this, erm, this woman, she say anything about the Fords?
02:03The Fords?
02:04Yeah.
02:05Well, what are you talking about?
02:08Didn't your mum say?
02:11She's...
02:12I got it into her head that, erm, Jasmine's...
02:15Well, she's a Ford and she's been sent to spy on her.
02:17Oh, of course she has.
02:18Because everything everyone does is all about Cindy, innit?
02:21Oh, God.
02:22Well, she did call her handler.
02:24And what'd she say?
02:26That they were going to look into it.
02:28Look, your mum's...
02:30Your mum's really scared.
02:31I mean, personally, I think she's overreacting, but, erm...
02:34Maybe we should be on our guard with Jasmine.
02:37You know, just in case.
02:38Hey, I just found Cindy outside the hour, but I'm conscious.
02:46Blood pouring down her head.
02:48Was that any fun?
02:50Letting my hair down and then you have to come and spoil it?
02:53What did I do?
02:54You turned up!
02:55Every time I see you, I think of Joel and what happened.
02:59I know that you are dealing with everything the best way you can, but so am I.
03:06You know, it...
03:07It can't be up that I'm Joel's dad.
03:10I tried to raise him good.
03:15You know, and I treated him a lot better than my old man ever treated me, let me tell you that.
03:19You know, Joel never grew up looking over his shoulder wondering where the beating was coming from.
03:23You shouldn't have to use violence to teach a boy how to be a man.
03:26Erm, sorry, can I get a whisky for me, please?
03:33Oh, no, I'm not staying.
03:36Vicky.
03:38Give yourself a break, eh?
03:43I suppose I could do with another.
03:48Before you assume anything, I'm staying because I want to, and it has got nothing to do with you.
03:55Understood.
03:56I don't eat like this.
04:04It'll be all right.
04:07Will it?
04:14Oh, yeah, that's courage.
04:15Good girl, you poured me one.
04:16Well done, because I hate you now, Cat.
04:19Zoe is going to go ballistic when she finds out it's Jean's earring.
04:24Listen, you haven't got to say anything, all right?
04:26Wait, hey, what are you talking about?
04:27What's the matter?
04:28We're in this together, come on.
04:29Right, down in one.
04:30Right, in that case, we wait until closing.
04:36Okay.
04:36Let her finish her shift, we bolt the doors and we do this together.
04:39Yeah.
04:39And we stick to the facts.
04:40Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:41Right, well, we found the earring after the vandalism and it's Jean's.
04:44Okay, and the reason why we didn't tell Zoe straight away is because we weren't sure.
04:48But anyway, you confronted Jean.
04:50She got all defensive and, like, stormed out, yeah?
04:54Yeah, yeah, that's good.
04:54That's good, okay.
04:55Let's hope Jean comes in for a drink tonight, though, yeah?
04:58I'm joking.
04:59Okay, don't have to waste.
05:00She left early when it ain't gonna happen.
05:02But anyway, what we need to do, we need to comfort Zoe, you know, calm her down and put on a united front.
05:07I'll have one.
05:08Here we go, ready.
05:10So, I was storyboarding.
05:14That's a term we use in films.
05:16I saw it.
05:17And I could see that Kojo, Kojo, yes, he was really interested.
05:24Why, the picture looked like I seen Home Alone.
05:27That's it, yeah, yeah, Home Alone.
05:29So, we got chatting and we realised we both have the same directorial influences.
05:33Same what?
05:35I've got no idea, babe.
05:37I'm going to be assistant director.
05:39Oh, where?
05:40Oh, right.
05:41Yeah, yeah.
05:42I've just had a brilliant idea for the opening shot.
05:45To the storyboard, Robin.
05:47Oh, it's good to see Kojo so happy.
05:54He's been missing hanging out with Harry, so this will cheer him up.
05:58Yeah.
05:59Talking about hanging out with people, I wanted to talk to you about...
06:05Hey, Beaton.
06:10Mum's been attacked.
06:11Hey, Cindy's in the hospital.
06:18I found her before she was dead.
06:23Peter's locked before you did it, but I've said you didn't.
06:27Why are you packing?
06:28I just thought I'd get a head start.
06:34You never...
06:36With Cindy, you're not part of a criminal family that wants her dead, right?
06:41Because that's weird.
06:42What are you talking about?
06:45I'm a girl from Croydon who works in a gay bar and likes watching reruns of Miss Marvel.
06:49I'm me.
06:55Jazz, why is that blood on your shoe?
06:57Look, it doesn't matter.
07:03Whatever you've done, you've had to do.
07:04Yes, I pushed Cindy down the stairs.
07:07Well, you tried to kill Cindy.
07:08No, of course not.
07:12I was just having a drink on the stairs.
07:14And then she came out of nowhere and she started yelling at me,
07:17saying that she knew who I really was and that she was going to get me before I could get her
07:21or something.
07:21And this, after we saw her going through my stuff, then she came at me.
07:25I got scared and she went flying.
07:28That sounds like an accident.
07:30Exactly.
07:32She was all crazy-eyed.
07:33I had to do something.
07:34She came at me.
07:39Of course you did.
07:48You must have been really scared.
07:50I was.
07:54And then I thought, well, Cindy's just going to tell the police that I pushed her,
07:57so I may as well just pack up and go.
08:01She's not blaming anyone.
08:03She's unconscious.
08:06It's not like I want to go.
08:08I want to stay here.
08:13With you.
08:15But this, on top of Lauren kicking me out, I just...
08:25Let me talk to Lauren and the rest of them.
08:28Get them to not get the police on to you.
08:29Do you really think they're going to listen?
08:36Got to be worth a try.
08:39Trust me.
08:40Yeah?
08:43Just don't leave.
08:45As it's our anniversary, I have been thinking a lot about you and what happened.
09:02I'm just really angry with myself.
09:09It's just words.
09:10No, it's not.
09:12It's not.
09:14What have I got to do?
09:16I'm in love with you, stupid.
09:18Stupid?
09:19Yeah, stupid.
09:20The same way I'm stupid and worse for letting it all happen.
09:24But we are rubbish about each other.
09:30I mean, even you know that.
09:34Oh!
09:35What was that for?
09:39You should have dealt with Joel.
09:41Minute you knew, instead of paying that girl's parents off.
09:43Joel.
09:44I know.
09:46Still don't need to fund me.
09:48Oh, shut up.
09:49You know I bruise like a peach.
09:50Yeah, I remember from when Spencer hit you.
09:57You're right.
09:59We are rubbish without each other.
10:02How pathetic is that?
10:05Yeah, really pathetic.
10:10Everything is going on at the moment.
10:12All this stuff that's happened in the past two years,
10:15and now she's just...
10:17Well, she's going to go back into witness protection again.
10:20Disappear out of our lives.
10:21I hope Peter won't cope with that, not again.
10:23No.
10:26And she has been making good on her promises.
10:28You know, fresh start.
10:30Running the Albert.
10:33I was actually starting to think, you know, that...
10:37that it could work out.
10:42You really don't like her, do you?
10:50What, no-one likes their mother-in-laws, do they?
10:54Yeah, yeah.
10:55Yeah, that's fair.
10:55I'm not sure if I like her myself, to be honest.
11:03I do love her, though.
11:07But I've got...
11:09I've got too much stuff to work through first.
11:11And with the Fords sniffing around again, it's just all going to be up in the air.
11:23Do you really think that Jasmine did this?
11:25I don't know.
11:28Her mum did say that her father's family were dodgy.
11:33So...
11:35And...
11:37Well, she did say that she would help me bury the body if I ever did kill your mum, which...
11:42Obviously, at the time, I thought she was joking.
11:44I don't know.
11:49Anything?
11:51They're, er...
11:52taking her into surgery.
11:53Anna's been waiting with her.
11:56They're going to pin her elbow, but they're worried about complications.
11:59Um, they...
12:01They keep asking about what happened.
12:02What, you told them about the Fords?
12:03No.
12:05Look, your mum always reckoned that the Fords had police on their payroll, okay?
12:08So, I've spoken to Mary, her witness protection handler,
12:12and she's now on the case, and she's going to stop the police from looking into it any further.
12:17Oh, and she was also upset that she'd been so dismissive of your mum.
12:20Oh.
12:21Well, she probably should have done her job better than her.
12:24What are you doing here?
12:25I've seen Jasmine.
12:27She's not who you were saying she is, all right?
12:29Sorry.
12:29Well, she's not going to admit it, is she?
12:31No.
12:32She was there when Cindy fell, but she didn't do anything.
12:34She pushed on.
12:35She attacked Cindy right now.
12:37Had Cindy said that, or are you just jumping to conclusions?
12:39You?
12:39Huh?
12:40You've got no idea what you are talking about.
12:42We have all had our lives turned upside down for years.
12:45The Fords have put us through hell.
12:47Oscar, open your eyes.
12:49Your girlfriend is a psycho.
12:52She's part of a criminal family.
12:58Years ago, Cindy was sharing a prison cell with this woman called Jackie Ford, okay?
13:03She informed on her.
13:06She got put into witness protection and given a new identity.
13:09I was told she was dead.
13:10Mum never got to see Peter grow up, you know?
13:12She left us when we were kids because of the Fords.
13:16That don't mean Jasmine's one of them.
13:18What, you really think she just fell in love with you?
13:22I mean, you hardly got the gift, are you?
13:24Oi!
13:24I mean, obviously, she did it so she'd get close to Cindy.
13:30Look, Oscar, Cindy, she mentioned it.
13:35Jasmine said something about wanting to get revenge on somebody.
13:40I know that you've really, really fallen for her, but...
13:42You've got to face the truth.
13:55Accusing me of terrorising Zoe.
13:59I mean, look at me, Freddie.
14:02Be honest.
14:03Do I look like I could terrorise someone?
14:06You're the least terrorising person I've ever met.
14:10At least someone in the family really knows me.
14:15I mean, where was Zoe when Cat was to-ing and fro-ing between Phil and Alfie?
14:21When Tommy had a gun pointed at him?
14:23When the house burnt down and Cat got scarred?
14:25Where was she, eh?
14:27When we all had to go through the whole flipping Hayley saga?
14:30When Charlie died, where was she?
14:32Nowhere! Nowhere!
14:35She's been back two minutes and suddenly I'm the villain!
14:37Do you know what? I'm not having this.
14:40I'm going to the pub. You coming?
14:42No, Nan, I think you need to sit down and stay here.
14:44No, I'm sorry, Freddie.
14:46I am sick of not sticking up for myself.
14:48Zoe Slater needs to get what's coming to her!
14:54Go.
14:55I don't know why I thought coming back here would be any different.
15:00Yeah.
15:02Never thought I'd be back in this pub.
15:04Seeing a cat behind the bar.
15:06Sleeping under my dad's roof again.
15:09Being here with you.
15:10Right pair of losers.
15:12The doctor in me would suggest you've developed a bit of codependency since you've been back.
15:20Me? Codependent?
15:22Yeah, that sounds about right.
15:24I've been addicted to a few things, so now mother issues.
15:28You don't need Cat.
15:30You don't need anybody.
15:32You've always been your own person.
15:34That's one of the things I've always admired about you.
15:37Right, and what is it you admired about Cat, eh?
15:40A collection of African roadkill dresses?
15:46Jane!
15:49We're expecting you here tonight.
15:51Yes, well, I was angry earlier.
15:54Very.
15:55With both of you.
15:55OK, that's understandable.
15:58So if we just sleep on it and then...
15:59I will not be made to feel that I have done something I haven't.
16:03I have no idea how that earring ended up in the barrel store.
16:07But I just want this to be the end of it.
16:10If not, then I'll just have to go and drink at the Albert.
16:13Which I'd rather not do, because the Wendy's have always said I'd be very popular as a lesbian.
16:19OK, well, you know, don't...
16:21Don't let that put you off, because they'd nearly get to the track.
16:23Oh, there she is.
16:23Now, Jane...
16:25Zoe, Dr Truman, I'm so sorry to interrupt your cosy little drink.
16:30I just wondered, do you like my earrings?
16:32Has she accused you yet of being her fantasy terroriser?
16:36You'll be next on the list.
16:39Oh, she has already.
16:40Oh, and people call me the mad one.
16:42Why would you?
16:43Why would I what?
16:46Terrorise you?
16:47Stalk you?
16:48Torment you?
16:49I have no idea, but I'm sure you'll come up with 101 reasons why I would.
16:54You're a nasty woman, Zoe.
16:56Turning my family and loved ones against me.
16:58Stacey was stalked for months, terrorised for months.
17:02How dare you suggest that I could do the same?
17:05But if it's your earring, haven't you ever lost an earring?
17:10Do you know what?
17:10If you're so infatuated with them, here.
17:14Have them.
17:15Be my guest.
17:19She's just letting off a bit of steam.
17:22You knew, didn't you?
17:23Call me nosy and tell me to do one,
17:34but I just thought I would check on you on my way home.
17:38You OK?
17:41He was getting on all right when I looked.
17:46Wine.
17:47Wine.
17:48He is a big, soft idiot.
17:58But he is my big, soft idiot.
18:01So are you getting back together?
18:04I don't know.
18:06You want to be certain?
18:08I really, really do.
18:09You know, he, um, he opened up tonight about his dad.
18:21And it's got me thinking, you know, my dad was 40 when he had me,
18:25and my mum was 16, still in school.
18:28And then 20 years later, he had a thing with Zoe, Cat's daughter.
18:32I don't think she was much older, and he was knocking on 60 then.
18:37It's disgusting.
18:40And my bet is that if he was alive now, at 80,
18:43he would still be ogling every woman he saw.
18:45I mean, we give it fancy names, do studies about it, blame the internet,
18:51but it's just basic male, disgusting nature.
18:55That's the truth.
18:56Don't think it is, though.
18:57I think that most blokes, you know, they want what we want.
19:02They want to cuddle up and laugh at things together
19:05and be happy and have kids and, you know, watch a TV.
19:15What's this popping over in a bit with some beers?
19:19His idea or yours?
19:27You've been gone ages.
19:38I see.
19:51Are you a member of this family?
19:53These Fords?
19:57Do you want to get close to me because you want to get closer to Cindy?
20:00Cindy?
20:01Cindy, who I work with, who I spend most of my time with.
20:04Yeah, Oscar, she's the reason I wanted to be with you.
20:09Who do you want revenge on?
20:12What?
20:13Nigel heard you saying you want revenge for someone.
20:15What?
20:16Nigel, the bloke with dementia who can't even remember what day of the week it is?
20:19I want to trust you.
20:23Just trust me, then.
20:32I'm telling the truth, right?
20:34Cindy came at me.
20:35I only pushed her because I thought she was going to hit me, Oscar.
20:40I could see it in her eyes.
20:45The other story makes more sense.
20:49I don't mind bringing your mum's night bag back once I've seen you.
20:53I don't mind bringing your mum's night bag back.
20:55Bye, then.
20:56Bye, then.
21:12Cheers.
21:12I don't mind bringing your mum's night bag back once I've seen you the boys, and then
21:20maybe you can go and talk to them.
21:21Ready?
21:22Hello.
21:24Can you hang around for me?
21:25Yeah, of course.
21:27Hey, sorry I missed your calls.
21:30I was in the hospital.
21:31My mum was attacked again.
21:32What did she mean?
21:32What happened?
21:33She's out of surgery.
21:35I'm just picking up her night things.
21:36Are you all right?
21:39I'm going travelling.
21:43I've been meaning to tell you.
21:45But all this stuff with my mum made me think about the future,
21:49and how you never know what's around the corner.
21:51Why'd you get back with me?
21:55You knew you wouldn't, were you?
21:57I'm sorry.
21:57I know I should have said,
22:00but I've been mixed up.
22:03Look, Anna, you've got to do what's right for you.
22:06Sorry, Freddie, but when I was in New Zealand, it was the best thing for me,
22:11you know, just figuring out who I was, what I wanted.
22:16Fine, why don't I come with you?
22:20Yeah, yeah, it's good.
22:21I've got enough savings.
22:23The only person that would keep me here is Nan, and then she'd let me go.
22:25She'd be good with it.
22:27Yeah, and we travelled the world together.
22:30I'd like that.
22:31Yeah?
22:32Yeah.
22:33Okay.
22:34Yeah.
22:34Yeah.
22:35Zoe, I'm sorry, all right?
22:56We should have told you as soon as we knew it was Jean's earring.
22:58Why didn't you?
23:01Because we wanted to avoid that, what happened downstairs.
23:03Zoe, we were going to tell you after closing tonight, you know?
23:07You know, accusing people is one thing, but Jean...
23:10With family?
23:11She ain't my family.
23:13Fragile.
23:14She's fragile.
23:14Oh, yeah, so fragile that she can still have a go at me.
23:19You accuse her, and she reacts more than most because of how she's feeling right now.
23:24You know, Stacey being away and that.
23:28I mean, Alfie, we've been talking about it, and after the way she reacted downstairs,
23:32we really think she's not behind all this.
23:35Well, listen, we did at 1.100%, but Jean's not a liar.
23:40And if she was, I promise you, so she threw it right in your face.
23:42Yeah, he's right.
23:43How could you say it ain't Jean?
23:45Listen, you just heard her gobbin' off downstairs.
23:50She airs her dirty laundry for the world to see, all right?
23:55It doesn't plot.
23:56It doesn't scheme in the dark.
23:57But she's got a key to this house.
23:59She knows our history, and where do it us, where it hurts.
24:02Yeah.
24:04You know, Zoe, there was a part of me that hoping it was Jean.
24:07Because that way we'd know what we're dealing with.
24:11Now, if it's not, and honestly, it's me personally, I don't think it is.
24:16Which means we're in the dark.
24:18So, we've got no idea who's doing this, and more importantly, no idea what they're capable of.
24:24You are not on your own, darling, all right?
24:27You've got me and Alfie.
24:29We won't let anything happen to you.
24:30Then stop letting Jean pull the wool over your eyes.
24:34Wake up.
24:35She is the one doing this to me.
24:37I know it.
24:40I wasn't really expecting you to be.
24:42Erm, I'm just on my way out, but Vicky's upstairs.
24:47And now that I've seen you, I think this is a mistake.
24:54It's not really up to you, is it?
24:56The police were here earlier.
24:57They dropped off the clothes that she was wearing when your son attacked her.
25:02The son that she's going to have to face in court because he's too much of a coward to plead guilty.
25:09Think about it, Ross.
25:11It's too soon.
25:13And I know it's easy to want to jump ahead, but it's not good if the timing's not right.
25:22Yeah, erm, okay, maybe you're right.
25:27Yeah, I'll give her some space.
25:32But if you get a chance, do us a favour.
25:34Try and tell her that I'm not one of the bad guys.
25:37I'm not a good judge of men.
25:39It's better you prove it to her yourself.
25:44Yeah.
25:45See you later.
25:57Oh, I thought I heard Ross.
25:58Er, you did.
26:00But he said something came up.
26:02He's sorry and he wanted you to have the beers.
26:06You saw him off, didn't you?
26:11Put this in the fridge.
26:12The fabulously fiery colour of the cloth is an absolutely fair indication of the warmth in his bones.
26:22Cindy's out of surgery, okay?
26:24They're out there just keeping her in overnight.
26:27And Ian's got the boys.
26:28The salmon serve and fresh sea air of the Atlantic Ocean.
26:34Um, she's gone.
26:38Um, we're over.
26:48I'm sorry.
26:58But this is not their home.
27:08No luck.
27:16But there is no ice.
27:17So.
27:22But, let's go.
27:23I'm sorry.
27:25We are back here.
27:25Everyone, let's go.
27:25Okay.
27:27I'm sorry.
27:27Let's go.
27:27Let's go.
27:32Vamos.
