00:00NAN!
00:25NAN!
00:27NAN!
00:29NAN!
00:40Lally, up there. Over here. Here. Here.
00:46I know you're hungry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:50Lally, take the one out there.
00:54There is not.
00:56There's no.
00:57Then no.
01:06I'll take it.
01:08Do you want a biscuit?
01:09Huh?
01:10Biscuit.
01:11That's right. Hey, when you need a veggie for your Christmas dinner, I'll come back.
01:16Yeah, please?
01:17Cheers.
01:18Yeah, mate.
01:19Harvey, mate. Thank you very much.
01:21Thank you, guys.
01:24Alanya Peacocks. That's my mantra. Thank you.
01:27Ta-da.
01:29Hey, did you remind Gran about meeting that Reverend Mills about the Christmas dinner?
01:34I did. I did. Look, I'm sorry I won't be there, but I promised Nigel I'd help with his filming.
01:39Oh, yeah, hold your horses. You're not going to believe it here. Look.
01:43Woolford's got his very own film star, Pedro Pascal.
01:46Yay.
01:47Pedro Pascal? More like Pat Butcher.
01:55You all right, Lills? No school today?
01:58Um, food period.
02:00Have you guys got any, like, um, food leftovers? I've got a school project about food waste.
02:05Yeah, of course, darling. Help yourself.
02:07Listen, how's your nan feeling today? Is her cold clearing up?
02:09Yeah, she's fine.
02:11I'll just get that food.
02:12Yeah, go on.
02:13Yeah.
02:14Bathroom.
02:26Finally see me, I'm dead.
02:28I'm really sorry.
02:30You said that last night.
02:31I didn't mean for any of this to happen.
02:32Which bit? Cushing Cindy?
02:34Or her and me?
02:37Both.
02:40Look, I thought I could just go.
02:41I could forget about it, but it turns out it's not that easy.
02:45I'm pretty unforgettable.
02:50I want to put this right.
02:52My family are afraid of you.
02:55Tell me the truth.
02:58Should they be?
03:01I only pushed Cindy because she came at me.
03:04I would never hurt any of them because hurting them would mean hurting you.
03:09I'll only do that if you ask me nicely.
03:17Please, can you talk to Lauren?
03:20I...
03:21I want to stay here.
03:22I want to be with you.
03:23I want to be with you.
03:34Jane!
03:36Dina, can I hear the radio, Artie?
03:41I can't.
03:42I can't.
03:44No, Alfie, you don't have to call me.
03:45No, it's all right.
03:46It's all right.
03:47It's all right.
03:48It's all right.
03:49How long has she been like this?
03:53Hey, come here, you.
03:54It's all right.
03:59Come on, come on.
04:00Honey's doing breakfast and you should sit down.
04:05Well, look, I'm fine.
04:06I don't have any time.
04:08I need to keep busy.
04:09Right.
04:12Nicola.
04:15Now, Teddy may not be here, but you are very much part of this family.
04:20So I am not gonna let you put your health or your babies at any risk, am I?
04:24Okay?
04:25So sit.
04:28Yeah.
04:32Hey, darling.
04:34You really scared me last week.
04:36I've moved some money around.
04:38And I've got you a place at that detox clinic the hospital's telling us about.
04:42It's last minute, so it's only a couple of weeks.
04:45They'll help you get clean, yeah?
04:48Isn't your mum much?
04:51They can't help you, son.
04:54I am not your son.
04:57Last week I watched my dad go down for life.
05:00Your dad wants you to get help.
05:02Well, I don't deserve help.
05:09You should have let me die.
05:12Harry!
05:14Just give him some space.
05:19Poor Nicola.
05:22What?
05:25Something that Teddy said to me when I went to see him.
05:29Playing on my mind.
05:33He said, she's poison her.
05:36That's your injury to his life.
05:38He told me to warn him before it was too late.
05:41She's his ex-wife.
05:43Okay?
05:45He's been banged up for murder, so he's lashing out.
05:47Okay? And you believed him.
05:48What if?
05:49No, Billy, no.
05:50No.
05:51They have not stopped since the Reverend arrived.
05:53First of all, it was the robe.
05:54Kathy wants laces and he wants silk.
05:55Ian just wants whatever's cheapest.
05:56He'd rub to me in a potato sack if he could get away with it.
05:58Where have you been?
05:59Where have you been?
06:00Um, Brian!
06:01Hey, hey!
06:02Biscuit!
06:03I paid for those.
06:04I think my gran's about to smash mum over the head with a Bible.
06:05Well, better than a shovel.
06:06So I've heard.
06:07Right.
06:08Living room, now.
06:09Can we have a quick chat?
06:10No.
06:11Not now.
06:12Thank you for doing this, by the way.
06:13Oh, it's the least I can do for bed and balls.
06:15Oh it's the least I can do for bed and balls.
06:29Yup.
06:30I've tried the next robber.
06:32Who's the next robber?
06:34Thank you for doing this by the way.
06:37Thank you for doing this, by the way.
06:39Oh, it's the least I can do for bed and balls.
06:44The charity, they're still on my case.
06:46They want to know when they're getting the money.
06:48I'm gonna speak to my accountant about extending the overdraft, okay?
06:51Just concentrate on the christening. Everything will be fine.
06:54I promise.
06:55Charlie went out like a light. You're not hungry, Jane?
07:13I'm sorry.
07:15I just wanted everything to be nice.
07:19I spent all the money on Christmas decorations.
07:23Presents for Charlie.
07:27That's our first Christmas without Dad.
07:31I didn't want her to be upset.
07:33And then Nan got poorly.
07:36She can't work, so there's no money.
07:39Couldn't buy food.
07:41Lily, why didn't you just tell us?
07:43Because she'd have called Mum.
07:45She'd have to come back and that would have ruined her new life.
07:48I tried. I really tried.
07:51Listen. Listen.
07:53None of this is your fault, all right?
07:55None of it.
07:56I'm sorry we weren't here, all right?
07:58All this stuff going on at the Vic with Zoe and these stupid Christmas lights.
08:03Oh, no need to worry. That was me.
08:08What was that, Jane?
08:10Just a few lights.
08:11I don't know what all the fuss is about.
08:14Me?
08:15I was all ready to stop talking yet.
08:16Kat, come on.
08:17She didn't know what she was doing. Look at her.
08:18Did you know?
08:19Sometimes when I feel afraid, I think of what a mess I made in my life.
08:34Johnny.
08:35Am I mad, starting all this at my time of life?
08:39What are you talking about?
08:41Well, when your granddad died, I got used to flying solo.
08:47Of course, I had your mum, but she was beginning her life with Mick, and I enjoyed being an independent woman.
08:54All right. That's a bit Destiny's child, Grant.
08:56I don't know how I married George, and of course, that's history, as we know.
09:02But am I just kidding myself? I can start again on my own.
09:08Hey, go on your own.
09:11Why haven't you got me, and Mum's back tonight, and you two running this place together?
09:16Come on.
09:17You're gonna smash it.
09:19Elaine?
09:20Yes, darling.
09:21What's the name of that package that you booked for the opening?
09:23Oh, I'll get it.
09:24It was the silver package. Yeah.
09:27It's balloons, ribbons, all peacock themed, of course.
09:31Oh, straight to death, please. Thank you.
09:34I mean, I would have gone for gold, but as I've got to pay for a new car, I had to downsize.
09:40Right, yeah. Did you have your glasses on when you looked at this website?
09:43Excuse me. I do not need glasses.
09:46Because it says that you've booked the platinum party package.
09:49Gwen?
09:50Yeah?
09:51This bloke outside. He wants to know where you want the peacock.
09:53I didn't know what to do. I told her to tell the truth, but...
10:00Zoe said it was Jean all along.
10:03It was just the lights.
10:05Oh, and the rest.
10:07You know how much she hates Zoe after what happened with your mum.
10:10I should have listened to her.
10:12Yeah, we both should have.
10:14You know, whatever Jean did, we know she's not well.
10:19Do you know if she's taken her meds?
10:21Every day.
10:22Every day. I've checked.
10:23Every day. I've checked.
10:24Every day. I've checked.
10:28I've checked.
10:30Can I see her?
10:36Well, I have an opportunity to show you.
10:38Cast your eyes on that little morbid.
10:41All you've got here is a superb ten-carat diamond set in platinum.
10:43is a superb ten-carat diamond, set in platinum, producing flowers around the turn of the sun.
10:49Jane, listen to me. What you just said, all those things that you did to Zari and the Vic,
10:55I know you didn't mean it. Delights? I hope I did. I did mean it.
11:06Had no choice, Kat. Nobody listens to me.
11:13I love you.
11:20I couldn't save Stacey from that. Wicked, wicked woman.
11:29But I'm saving you.
11:33I love you. You know that, right?
11:38And I will sort out everything.
11:40I'm going to make you well again.
11:43Okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to plan the camera.
11:53So are they all right about having all the time of school?
11:56Yes. It's a drama project. They're going to show it in an assembly.
12:00He's a proper little Ingmar Bergman.
12:03Who's that?
12:03Yeah, there's times like this you wouldn't know that he was ill, would you?
12:12No. He's in his element.
12:16So, you, uh, you ready for this appointment, then?
12:19I'm ready as I can be.
12:22It's not exactly good news, is it?
12:24Hospital calling me in so quick after last week.
12:26It's just a biopsy. We don't know anything here. There's no point in jumping the car.
12:31Come on, let's go.
12:33Jen.
12:36Thank you for coming.
12:38That's all right. Come on.
12:46Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
12:48Have a stupid one, don't you?
12:50Can't go on, man. Can't do it no more. Can't do it no more.
12:53You're in my shot.
12:54Do I look like I care?
12:55Oi, don't talk to her like that.
12:57It's all right.
12:59My dad's in jail, too.
13:01It's great to be sad.
13:04Sorry.
13:05That's okay. I don't mind.
13:08Let's do this scene in the square.
13:10Yeah.
13:10In the square?
13:11Yeah, come on.
13:12The square.
13:13Yeah.
13:15They can use some of that, though, innit?
13:17Oh, my God.
13:18What are you in this film and all?
13:25Having a laugh, innit?
13:27Christmas shopping for Dad.
13:29What do you buy a man whose hobbies consist of ordering takeaways and moaning about parking?
13:36Don't ask me.
13:38I won't be buying my old man anything for a very long time.
13:43So, is this a private pity party, or can anyone join?
13:48Did you talk to her?
13:54I couldn't.
13:56That was a Vickers.
13:57Would you always love that man in a frog, Oscar?
14:00It's never gonna work.
14:02I was sorted.
14:03Chill out.
14:04Grab a coffee.
14:05Let me work my magic.
14:06Poor magic.
14:07Well, it worked on you, didn't it?
14:09Can't keep you away.
14:10So...
14:11Listen, you were right.
14:32All that that happened recently.
14:34The lights, it was Jean.
14:37I knew it.
14:38I knew it was her all along.
14:40No, I'm sorry, I should listen to you.
14:42Normally I'd throttle her, but she's really not well.
14:46Her house is a mess, there's no food in the kitchen.
14:48It's bad.
14:50And how about Lily and Charlie?
14:52Are they all right?
14:54Lily's been trying to cope, but from now on,
14:56me and Alfie will make sure that they're taken care of.
14:59You know what?
15:00I don't blame her.
15:02She's just a sick woman who misses her daughter.
15:06I've been listening to the Bills arguing all morning about the christening.
15:10And all that time I was thinking about my son,
15:12what his christening would have been like.
15:16So I do get it, what it's like to miss a kid.
15:20I know you do.
15:21I'm sorry.
15:23I'll do better next time.
15:26Listen, listen, just give me a chance, all right?
15:28And I'll prove it to you, yeah?
15:30Just please, just come home.
15:32Not yet.
15:33Zoe, please.
15:34You said you were going to prove it, Kat.
15:37So prove it.
15:42Anthony.
15:44Kat.
15:45Um, Lily came to see you about Jean a couple of weeks ago.
15:50I need your help.
15:57Yo!
15:58Some fella just asked me to help her with his pee.
16:05Cuck.
16:06Penny saw you kissing Jasmine in the park.
16:08She tried to kill me.
16:10We're all in danger.
16:11If she's afforded me...
16:12It's just a misunderstanding.
16:13A misunderstanding?
16:15I'm not staying around here to be a sitting duck.
16:17I'm going somewhere where your girlfriend can't find me.
16:19No, Mum.
16:20Mum.
16:21Well, I've called the police and they should be arresting her about...
16:25Yeah, about now.
16:28The handler was saying the peacock is too shy to come out the van.
16:31Can't.
16:32It's just a little stage, right?
16:34I'll go and talk to it, peacock to peacock.
16:36It'll all be sorted by the time your mum gets here.
16:39Oh, come on, get on with it!
16:41Okay, right.
16:42A ship box of four.
16:43We'll do the opening, have a few drinks,
16:45and then we'll clear everyone out, okay?
16:47Let's do this.
16:49DJ.
17:19Welcome, everyone.
17:26Now, Albert Square is hosting the latest boutique hotel in London.
17:31Hey!
17:32Stepping into peacock palace,
17:35where dreams really do come true.
17:38Delivering style, pizzazz,
17:41and a haven of relaxation.
17:42I'm not sure I call this relaxing.
17:45Well, if you're more of these, I'll be well relaxed.
17:46Don't worry.
17:47And now, on a personal note,
17:50this is when I reclaim my name,
17:53Elaine Peacock!
17:54So, without further ado, Mum!
18:04Don't you?
18:04Don't you?
18:05Don't you know what?
18:05Don't you know what?
18:05You're in the struggle!
18:06Don't you know what?
18:07Don't you know what?
18:07You're in the struggle!
18:07Don't you know what?
18:08Don't you know what?
18:08Don't you know what you're doing?
18:08Yeah.
18:08How is she?
18:13Well, Jean's behaviour suggests she may be experiencing new symptoms of her bipolar disorder.
18:21But Lily said she's been taking her pills.
18:23Recent upheaval may have knocked her a bit off balance.
18:27Now, I've contacted the community mental health team
18:31and asked them for an urgent assessment, okay?
18:34And, um, they'll review her medication.
18:41Uh, I saw you with Zoe earlier.
18:43Seemed like a difficult conversation.
18:46I should have listened when she told me it was Jean.
18:49She doesn't need all this, not on top of everything else.
18:52Everything else?
18:53Doesn't matter.
18:55I should have acted more decisively when Lily came to see me.
18:59I'm sorry.
19:02And everything you tell me
19:04is covered by doctor-patient confidentiality.
19:08Zoe's over there with Lauren and Peter
19:11and they're organizing a christening
19:13and it's just another reminder to Zoe
19:15of not knowing where her son is.
19:18The private investigator cost a fortune and got us nowhere
19:21and...
19:22they're running out of options.
19:25I don't have a clue how to find her son.
19:27A private investigator doesn't have access to medical records.
19:33But you do.
19:36Leave it with me.
19:38I will sort it out.
19:39Okay?
19:40Yes.
19:41I promise.
19:44Hey.
19:45I called you.
19:46Always engaged.
19:47Arch.
19:48What happened?
19:49Cindy.
19:50Really angry.
19:51Police.
19:52Jasmine Fisher.
19:53Oh, thank you.
19:55Who wants to know?
19:56Diaz Fitzgerald.
19:58I'd like to ask your accompany me to the station
20:00to answer some questions.
20:01I've been on alleged assault.
20:02No.
20:03You don't have to go.
20:04They can't make you.
20:05No, I've got nothing to hide.
20:17How much was this?
20:18I got that in a charity show.
20:20I'll pull the other one.
20:21It's a gold peacock.
20:23Kathy's got fur kids.
20:25Were you in on this?
20:26No.
20:27Do not have a go at him.
20:28I made an executive decision.
20:29Executive decision?
20:32I left the pig to get away from booze.
20:34Excuse me.
20:35We cannot have a boutique hotel without a bar.
20:37A small B&B, you said.
20:39Exactly how much of my money have you spent?
20:41Listen, you've had a long journey.
20:43Why not go and have a nice, hard bath?
20:45Because everything will seem better when you've rested.
20:48No, no.
20:49All right, I want to see the accounts.
20:50And...
20:52And you can turn that racket off and all!
20:54Oh, that is not my name above the door, either.
20:57I am not a peacock.
21:00I am a cutter.
21:11It doesn't look bad.
21:12It's like a hotel.
21:14Yeah.
21:15Sitting around in circles, holding hands, talking about feelings.
21:19Well, it's detox, not a yogurt or treat.
21:21Oh.
21:27I've got these for Dad, for Father's Day.
21:29Cheers.
21:31I remember when you first moved in here.
21:44Your Dad swaggering about the place like he owned it.
21:47Barney, surgically attached to his book.
21:50And you.
21:51And you.
21:52Muscles and an attitude in a tight T-shirt.
21:57Not that it stayed on for long.
22:03Where did that boy go?
22:04And you tell me.
22:05After I found out about Shireen.
22:07And then there was Barney.
22:10Kojo.
22:11Okie.
22:12Then my Dad.
22:13They helped me forget.
22:16The drugs help me forget.
22:18And when I take them, everything just goes away.
22:21Yeah, but when you come back down again, your problems are still here waiting for you.
22:24Yeah, but I haven't got my Dad here to help me.
22:25So how am I meant to live with myself without them?
22:28What would he say, your Dad, if he were here right now?
22:31I don't know.
22:32He'd say, do me proud, son.
22:38But what if I can't?
22:41Listen to me.
22:43You are strong enough to do this.
22:58I thought it was your day off.
23:00I'm doing overtime cover on reception.
23:02Noah wants a PlayStation from Santa.
23:06Kids, the list gets more expensive every year.
23:11Your text wasn't very clear.
23:13Is there a problem with the surgery?
23:16Well, I have some news which might make your budget a bit easier.
23:20Your interview for medical secretary at the ENT department.
23:24You nailed it.
23:26I had a call earlier asking for a reference.
23:28They've just emailed me over the paperwork.
23:31Oh, my God.
23:33That's amazing.
23:36Now, I need access to a file.
23:38You know how useless I am at computers.
23:41Oh.
23:43I'm back in the surgery tomorrow.
23:44I could get it for you then.
23:45It's rather urgent.
23:47I know you can get access to the system here.
23:49Now, I need any record of twins abandoned at the South London Hospital.
23:57Mid to late noughties.
23:58One live birth, one deceased.
24:00Um.
24:01I'm not sure.
24:02Your cooperation will be reflected in your reference.
24:03I understand how important this job offer is.
24:04Barney!
24:05Barney!
24:06Barney!
24:07Barney!
24:08You all right?
24:09You'll come around.
24:10You all right?
24:11You'll come around.
24:13You're all right?
24:14I'm not sure.
24:15You're all right.
24:16I need to get out of the clinic.
24:17Called the clinic and they were expecting me.
24:18I'll see you in the room.
24:19You know how important this job offer is.
24:21You know how important this job offer is.
24:23Barney!
24:24Barney!
24:25You all right?
24:26You all right?
24:27You all right?
24:30You'll come around.
24:37You all right? I need to get it straight.
24:40Called the clinic and they were expecting me.
24:42Oh, babe.
24:43Said you'd be proud of you.
24:44Look, I'll come with you. I'll walk you in.
24:46Just let me do this by myself, yeah?
24:50Come here.
24:52See you soon, yeah?
24:57Get well soon, Harry.
25:11You saved my life.
25:19I love you.
25:21You all right?
25:25You take care of yourself, yeah?
25:28See you later.
25:34I'm proud of you.
25:44I told you, I don't know who Jackie Ford is.
25:48We've received information you may be a relative of hers.
25:51Check my records.
25:52My parents are Anita and Colin Fisher.
25:54You need to pack it in or I might arrest you for breaching the peace.
26:06You've arrested an innocent woman.
26:07I want to tell her.
26:08She's given a voluntary interview under caution.
26:12And anyway, this ain't my case.
26:13She's not done anything wrong.
26:14We...
26:20Your birth record stayed.
26:21Your parents are unknown.
26:22I was adopted.
26:23Do you know what?
26:35What took you so long?
26:36The only record of twins abandoned in that time frame was by a mother identifying herself as Zoe in 2006.
26:462006.
26:472006?
26:48You are certain?
26:49It's all there.
26:52Dr. Truman are not comfortable with this.
26:55If you've had a personal relationship with a patient, I have to report it.
26:58She's not a patient.
26:59She's an ex-girlfriend.
27:00We got back together.
27:01Briefly.
27:02This date has to be.
27:03The twins are mine.
27:04There's something else.
27:05When I found the record, there was a note from the midwife.
27:19It said that Zoe ran out of the hospital after the baby girl's heart stopped beating.
27:25She was subsequently resuscitated.
27:30Zoe's...
27:35My daughter's alive.
27:39I came to Walford to find my biological mother.
27:42That's her.
27:45Zoe Slater.
