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