00:00So your birth mother, who you claim to be, Zoe Slater,
00:05is she has no link to the Fords?
00:07I had no idea who the Fords even were until last week.
00:10Why does everyone keep saying their name like it means something?
00:13So you're just here looking to reconnect with your mum?
00:16I actually don't have to answer that.
00:19I'm investigating a serious assault.
00:22Seems to me like you've got no motive, no evidence,
00:25and I've got no prior convictions.
00:27So how about we stop wasting each other's time?
00:30Come on.
00:40She left before she knew you.
00:43There's still a chance you're not the father.
00:45No, no, she kept it from me for a reason.
00:48Look, you've done your bit, and as promised, it'll be worth it.
00:52I'll take it from here.
00:53How did you get him to let you go?
01:14What?
01:14Every time I've been brought up a question, I end up having to say goodnight.
01:17Because I've got a big mouth like you.
01:19Ah, debatable.
01:21And they've got nothing on me.
01:23Wait, okay, so it's over?
01:26Proved I'm not a fault.
01:28So we can finally be happy again.
01:30You could have come back to the square.
01:33To be with me.
01:34I'm not going anywhere.
01:36Well, that definitely ain't going to help.
01:59I'll drown my solace however I want.
02:01What, and give Patrick something else to worry about?
02:03Mind your own business.
02:04Listen, you might scare other women with your big man act,
02:07but I've come across a lot worse, trust me.
02:09Wow.
02:11You've made up your mind about me, clearly.
02:13Oh, stop acting like the world's against you.
02:15No, no, no.
02:17Not in your state.
02:18Sit down and do something stupid.
02:23Where's everyone always expect the worst?
02:27Maybe I'm the hurt one.
02:28Maybe I've been lied to again and again.
02:30So is that what this is about?
02:32Someone's hurt you, so what, you're down in whiskey
02:34feeling sorry for yourself?
02:36I've just found out.
02:37I've got two kids that I never knew about.
02:41What?
02:43I've already got kids being held from me.
02:45And now I find I've got two more
02:48that I wasn't even told about.
02:50How to slow down.
02:51I've missed their entire lives.
02:54I've been strung along by a useless mother.
02:56Who? Your ex-wife?
02:57I'm sorry.
03:10Hello, hello.
03:12You didn't tell me you was back.
03:13Hello.
03:15You're avoiding me?
03:17No.
03:17No?
03:18Come on then, give me a hug.
03:19Come on, please.
03:22Oh.
03:22Oh.
03:24You okay? You hurt?
03:25No.
03:26No, you're just weakly strong.
03:29Come on then.
03:31Ryan a senior.
03:33You've been too busy sat here reading
03:34top ten guilty crushes or something.
03:36Sam?
03:46Sam?
03:47Please, Zach, don't.
03:48What?
03:49How long you known?
03:50When did you find out?
03:51No, I don't know anything yet.
03:53I'm still waiting for results.
03:55I swear to you, you're going to make it through this.
03:57Come on, Zach.
03:58We both know cancer either kills you or it doesn't.
04:04Come on.
04:05Don't be defeatist already.
04:06I'm not being defeatist.
04:08I'm being honest.
04:11Although I'm terrified, I'm going to do this my way.
04:15Okay?
04:15Okay.
04:18Listen, let me be there for you.
04:19Come stay at mine.
04:20I can take you to your appointments, whatever you want.
04:22You don't need to do that.
04:24You did it for me.
04:24I nearly lost it when I had my HIV diagnosis,
04:29but what did you do?
04:32Oh, I think I told you just to put it together
04:34and take your meds.
04:36Yeah.
04:37And you're so set with me.
04:40And we talked about it and we found a way to get there.
04:44One day at a time.
04:46And I'm doing that, okay?
04:48All the tests, I'm just...
04:50I don't know.
04:50I'm just doing everything doctors are asking of me.
04:52Yeah, so listen to me.
04:54I want you to have someone to talk to.
04:59And like I said, Zach,
05:01I don't even know what I'm dealing with yet.
05:08De croissant.
05:12You don't have to hide your phone.
05:14No, you don't have to hide your phone.
05:15You can speak French.
05:16Um, I'm basically fluent.
05:19Okay, learning French online so you can impress a girl
05:21when you were 15 isn't fluent, Oscar.
05:22I reckon my 990-day streak would disagree.
05:27You should not be that proud of that.
05:29What's wrong with being your own cheerleader?
05:31Self-care's a thing, even for delinquents.
05:32All right, all right, all right.
05:35Désolé.
05:36That wasn't bad, actually.
05:37Yeah?
05:37Yeah.
05:37That was sorry, right?
05:40Yeah.
05:41Yeah.
05:42Right, come on.
05:43I want to get this over with.
05:44Wait, wait, are you sure?
05:46What?
05:46Well, shouldn't we, you know, figure out what we're going to say to them first?
05:49No, we don't.
05:51I've got this.
05:52You've got this.
05:53Are you sure?
05:56Go on, then.
05:59Show me.
06:02Okay.
06:04Hello, my boyfriend's very weird and obsessive family.
06:07I am not one of these infamous Fords.
06:11Okay, to be fair, though, they do sound proper dodgy.
06:13Cindy had to go undercover.
06:14It's always mental protection.
06:15Witness perfection, doesn't matter.
06:16The point is, these are majorly scary people.
06:19I know that, Oscar.
06:20The point is, I'm not one of them.
06:22Fair.
06:23I'm just saying.
06:25Soft.
06:27Hmm?
06:27I didn't push Cindy, and I am here, and I'm staying on the square,
06:34so the next time you call the police and make sure your facts are straight,
06:36thank you.
06:39Yeah, not bad.
06:44But...
06:44They don't like you.
06:47Well, that's their problem.
06:48Exactly.
06:49Exactly what?
06:50I want them to like you.
06:52Well, I'm trying, Oscar.
06:54I just, I don't think I can change that.
06:56It doesn't.
06:57I know it's only been a few months in time as we perceive it,
07:01but I just know that me and you,
07:06we're a big deal.
07:08I'm being serious.
07:10I know.
07:11Maybe I should do this by myself, you know?
07:13I just, I feel like I've dragged you into enough business.
07:16No, no, no.
07:16No, no.
07:18I'm coming with you.
07:19Get...
07:20I forgot your back.
07:24What do you mean that?
07:25I mean it.
07:26Do you promise?
07:30Promise.
07:32I'm sorry, what?
07:33French for promise, see?
07:35Ah!
07:36Promise, promise.
07:37How do you say that?
07:37Hey, you ready?
07:41Yes.
07:42Yeah, let's do it.
07:43I'll check it out.
07:55Jimmy's finally off,
07:57and Louie's in the kitchen,
07:58he's decorating Christmas cookies.
08:01That's a weird one.
08:02That Freya from the charity just called,
08:04he said the money never arrived.
08:06I'm going to check the online account,
08:07make sure it's not lost in a matrix.
08:10I'm an idiot.
08:10It's literally sitting in the car like it's in the safe.
08:17What?
08:17Why?
08:18Because they gave it to me cash, didn't they?
08:20So I was going to take it to the bank,
08:22and I just forgot.
08:23What am I supposed to say to the charity?
08:25That I made a mistake.
08:27That I've got mum brain,
08:28that I'm running on 50%.
08:29Then I don't know, Peter.
08:30Right, right, fine.
08:31Okay.
08:32Sorry.
08:32Sorry.
08:33That's all right.
08:34Listen, why don't you steal a little nap,
08:35and I'll go and grab the money and drop it off to them.
08:37No.
08:38Um,
08:39no, no, because it's just in the safe, isn't it?
08:41That's all right.
08:42Otherwise, I'll just use your keys.
08:43It's on there, isn't it?
08:43Well, it's not for just anyone to use, Peter.
08:45Lauren, stop panicking.
08:47I'm offering to help you.
08:48I'm not trying to rob you.
08:50No, I just,
08:51it's because I said I would,
08:52so I should, really, shouldn't I?
08:54Okay.
08:55Hello?
08:57All right?
08:58Bye.
08:58All right.
08:59Oscar here, then.
09:01No, not yet.
09:04Oh, answer that, will you?
09:05It's wrong three times in the last five minutes.
09:07If it's our accounting, it might be important.
09:09No, no, it's not important.
09:10I'll call him later.
09:12Oh, just come on, then.
09:13Why has Damien summoned us?
09:15No idea.
09:18Hey, what's up, extended family?
09:22Spin it out, Oscar.
09:24Okay, yeah, sure.
09:25Just, you know,
09:27hear us out.
09:29Us.
09:31Ta-da.
09:32Ta-da.
09:37For 19 years,
09:39she knew I was the dad.
09:42Some idiot.
09:44Taken in by her again.
09:46Well, you don't know for sure that you are the dad.
09:48She lied about the birth date.
09:49She knew I'd work it out.
09:52Whole life.
09:54There were two whole lives that I missed because of a messed up, selfish woman.
09:58Well, maybe she had her reasons.
10:00I mean, she walked out after having them.
10:04A mother doesn't do that easily.
10:06If she ran off and left them alone, when they had me out there, I would have looked after them.
10:13Does she know that you know the truth?
10:18No.
10:19She's not going to.
10:21You've not got a choice.
10:22You want to know what happened.
10:24No.
10:24Look, let me speak to her.
10:28I'm a woman.
10:30I'm a mum.
10:31If it's anyone, it's me.
10:32I'm their father.
10:34You've already got one restraining order.
10:35I just want you to keep it between us for now.
10:41Are you for real?
10:43I can't face her, okay?
10:46With her excuses.
10:49I don't want to open myself up to that pain.
10:53So what?
10:54You never truly know what happened to your kids?
10:57Well, you never confront her about that night.
10:58I don't care about her.
11:00But I need to find those kids first.
11:05Find out if they're happy.
11:08Do you even know where they are?
11:10I'll find out.
11:13And I'll let them know that they've got a parent who loves them.
11:19Make sure they stay away from their messed up mother.
11:26Can we all just move on from the idea that I pushed Cindy now?
11:30What, and you seriously expect us to just believe you?
11:32Well, the police can tell you themselves I'm not a Ford.
11:34Come on, guys.
11:35It was some pretty compelling stuff.
11:37Yeah, well, it just makes no sense at all, right?
11:38Why would you go and get a job at the Albert?
11:40Because I needed money.
11:42Yeah, well, you were asking loads of questions as well.
11:45Cindy was my boss.
11:46Yeah, well, Cindy said she saw you there that night.
11:49Well, she's a liar.
11:50No, no, no, no, no.
11:51My mum reckons you were after her.
11:52Why would she just make that up?
11:53Because she's unhinged!
11:54I'd pull it back a bit, babe.
11:56You're losing them.
11:56Yeah, and what about what Nigel said?
11:58How about you wanting revenge?
11:59Look, I've said what I needed to say, so can you all just leave me alone?
12:05Please, stop calling the police, stop dragging me into your drama,
12:07because I'm staying on the square.
12:09What for?
12:09What, why?
12:10Like, what do you need to be here for, so bad?
12:14For him.
12:16All this to sleep with a village idiot?
12:18Don't be jealous, Brian.
12:19Now, you've got to leave her alone.
12:22Whatever you want to think, hmm?
12:23I've got no proof.
12:26Come on, let's go.
12:32No, not having it.
12:50Didn't know you were back.
12:51Nice to see you, too.
12:54Have you seen Cindy?
12:56Er, she's gone AWOL.
12:58Oh, of course she is.
13:00And of course, my mother knows exactly where all the tacky decorations are,
13:03but the official paperwork, well, that's around here somewhere, apparently.
13:07Wow.
13:08Someone's a bit stressed out.
13:10Excuse me?
13:11Ah, I've just got back off a lovely cruise, all refreshed,
13:14ready for a new chapter like an idiot.
13:17And what's my mother gone and done?
13:18Spent all of our money.
13:19I've been back on the square for less than five minutes
13:22and everything's already falling apart.
13:24Stupid.
13:25To think that things might be different.
13:29Sorry, where have you been?
13:32A cruise.
13:34Needed some time away.
13:35Right.
13:35And your mum's just bought the B&B, yeah?
13:38Yeah.
13:39Spent all of the money from the Vic on it.
13:41Oh, and you're not involved.
13:43No.
13:44No, no, no, it's not that.
13:45It's for me, too.
13:46What, so it's your business and you're going to get the profits?
13:51Well, yeah, it's the sort of family thing.
13:54What's the problem?
13:55Sorry?
13:56I wanted a fresh start.
13:57I didn't want to be cleaned out.
13:59And it would have been nice to have a little bit of say in the decor.
14:02Sounds like your mum's done all the hard work for you.
14:04I'm being a spoiled brat, aren't I?
14:12Yeah.
14:14And that's the you problem.
14:15Harsh.
14:15Mm, but true.
14:25This is nice, huh?
14:28Us being back together.
14:31Oi.
14:32Can I be a bit happier?
14:34Um, why didn't Nigel say that about you?
14:39Oh, come on.
14:42I want you to answer me.
14:46I don't know what more I have to do for you to trust me, Jazz.
14:50I defended you.
14:51I covered for you about Cindy.
14:55I love you.
14:58So please, just say what you're not telling me.
15:00Just tell me the truth.
15:01Why are you coming at me like your family just did?
15:06Because I know you're going to be defensive in front of them, but you don't have to be like that with me.
15:09No, you know me, right?
15:11No, apparently not.
15:12So, you know, if I can't tell you something, it's obviously because I don't want to drag you into it.
15:15No, it's because you don't trust me.
15:16No, it's not true.
15:17I thought you being back was going to be the next chapter in this epic love story, Jazz, but you're just going to hurt me again, aren't you?
15:25No, no, no.
15:27No, I just, I want to tell you everything, okay?
15:30No, I really do.
15:31It's just, it's not like that.
15:35Some things are just a bit bigger than us.
15:41Nothing's bigger than us, Jazz.
15:44Please, please, can you just, just trust me, please?
15:49I'm sorry.
15:57I've got to walk away now, yeah?
15:59I won't be able to.
16:00No, I just...
16:14Ah, Lily, look at this one.
16:16This one's growing penicillin.
16:17I'm sorry, we're just going to start closing the door in here.
16:21Hey, stop right there, okay?
16:23I've got nothing to be sorry about.
16:25No one can deal with Jean when she's not well, all right?
16:28And also, you've got Charlie.
16:30The next time this happens, you tell us, because we're family.
16:35Of course, it won't be the same unless there was a family drama, would it?
16:37Yes.
16:38Hey.
16:40Yes, she is.
16:40You all right?
16:41Jean, Lily told me that you'd spoken to Dr Truman, yeah?
16:45OK.
16:50Oh, was it helpful?
16:51Yeah, I bet it was helpful, then.
16:53To talk, yeah.
16:55I just want my, um...
16:59Charger.
17:03And to go back to bed.
17:08Oh, God.
17:09Jean, why don't you have a nice shower?
17:11Or better still, I'll run you a hot bath.
17:12Be nice, yeah?
17:14No.
17:15I don't think so.
17:17OK.
17:19Here you go.
17:19Oh, thank you.
17:29Hey, kid.
17:31You all right?
17:34She hasn't moved all day.
17:37She's just laying in there playing the same song.
17:39Listen, listen, listen, listen.
17:40It's just a bit of depression, that's all, all right?
17:43If you're just going to do anything stupid, dear...
17:45Hey, stop.
17:47Stop.
17:48Listen to me, you listen to me, kid.
17:50It's going to be all right, OK?
17:52As long as me and Kat are here, everything's going to be all right, yeah?
17:56Give me that big smile.
17:57Big smile.
17:58That's it.
17:58Right, let's clear up them dirty plates before they start growing legs.
18:01Come on, we got this.
18:02All right.
18:02All right, let's clear up them.
18:32Oh, no!
18:48No, Jane!
18:49Please, open the door!
18:51Open the door!
18:52Don't do this!
18:53Don't do it!
19:07Help!
19:10Help!
19:12Help!
19:13Help!
19:14Help!
19:16Help!
19:17Help!
19:17I'm going to save you.
19:41I just need to bring it out to get inside.
19:44But trust me, I'm on it.
19:47Harry's settled into the detox place, all right?
20:01Yeah, yeah. He'll be back in a few weeks. Revitalised.
20:04We could all do with some of that, eh? Cheers.
20:07Thanks. Thanks.
20:12Did you find him?
20:13Can we go upstairs? Speak in private.
20:17Trace, can you find the bar, please? Yes.
20:22Lauren, you can't believe a word she says.
20:25Jasmine does have a point. Cindy's lied about weirder things.
20:28I don't know why you're defending that girl.
20:30She's got your brother wrapped around her little finger.
20:32That's why I've asked Ian to have the boys tonight.
20:34I want to talk to Oscar and find out what's going on.
20:36Look, fooled or not, he needs to stay away from me, all right?
20:39She's trouble.
20:39The charity money's gone.
20:45What, have you checked the safe?
20:47Yeah, it's not in there.
20:48Oh.
20:49I knew it's still money at Christmas.
20:51Yeah, from blind kids.
20:52I mean, that is cold, innit?
20:54Well, hold on.
20:55I've probably just put it in a drawer or something.
20:57Let me go and have a look.
20:58No, I've just checked it.
20:59If you look, it's not in there, Lauren.
21:00I've just texted Dad to tell him and all.
21:03Lauren.
21:03Lauren, there's smoke coming out your house.
21:24Cover your mouth.
21:25I got you.
21:32Cover your mouth.
21:33Well, well, well, well, Penny, what's going on?
21:35Is anybody in there?
21:36I'm on the phone to the fire brigade.
21:37Why have Oscar's in there?
21:38He might have fallen asleep with the oven on us.
21:40Can't someone come in there?
21:41Lauren, I'm just joking.
21:41It's too dangerous.
21:42Oscar!
21:43No, he's with Jasmine, babe.
21:44No, he's not.
21:45He's not.
21:45He's not.
21:46Oscar!
21:46Blondie!
21:47Jasmine!
21:47God, stop it.
21:48Oscar!
21:50Oscar!
21:52Oscar!
21:53Oscar!
21:59Oscar, what happened?
22:01Oh.
22:02Fire!
22:03Fire!
22:03Please, Pete!
22:04Oh.
22:05Come on!
22:07Breathe!
22:08Oh.
22:09Why don't you sound fire?
22:14Oh.
22:14for the ambulance running away.
22:17All right?
22:18Oh.
22:18Oh.
22:19Why don't you, uh, sit down, Kat?
22:35Tell me.
22:37Zoe, she, uh, was wrong about what happened the night she gave birth.
22:43Wrong in what way?
22:46Neither of them survived.
22:50Now, Zoe remembers her little boy. She said he was okay.
22:53He passed, um, just after she left.
22:56But that Greg said that he knew where Zoe's son lived
23:00and that P.I. said that she met a family that looked after him.
23:05I just think, uh, a lot of people are preying on a vulnerable woman.
23:12They were lying.
23:14They took her money, your money, and they never delivered.
23:16Look, I'm sorry, Kat.
23:19But the report was clear.
23:22Neither baby made it.
23:27How am I supposed to tell her this?
23:29Well, let me.
23:30I'm a doctor. I've done this before. I know how.
23:34No, no.
23:35We cannot keep this from her, Kat.
23:37Absolutely.
23:38No.
23:39She deserves to know what happened.
23:42And she will.
23:43But not yet, all right?
23:45She's been for enough.
23:46All she wants is to have a nice Christmas.
23:48What's that?
23:55They're going to get you straight to the hospital, yeah?
23:57No, they're going to look after you.
23:59I'm going to be right behind you.
24:01I'm right here, okay?
24:02I'm going to be staring at you.
24:03All right, come on.
24:06I'll drive us to the hospital.
24:07Yeah.
24:10Something's happened to Oscar.
24:11Can you call me back, please?
24:14Hello?
24:15Hello?
24:17She's let the room on fire.
24:18It burned.
24:19She locked me in, Gat.
24:21Is that fire?
24:21Jean, it's all been sorted now, sweetie.
24:23I want you to go home.
24:23Yeah, go on.
24:24Did you do this?
24:25You really want me dead?
24:27Well, you think I did this?
24:28Well, you're not well, Jean.
24:30I'm not a manager.
24:31What are you talking about?
24:32She's been with me all day.
24:34Sure.
24:34What, I really?
24:35You think she'd do something like this?
24:36She doesn't mean that to see if anybody was hurt.
24:38Jean.
24:39Jean.
24:40Sandra, just stay with me.
24:42Oh.
24:42Jean!
24:50Jean, I'm sorry.
24:52Just worried about Zoe.
24:53I would never, ever do something like that.
24:56But you're not well right now.
24:58No.
24:58I'm not.
25:00I am in so much pain.
25:04The pain of losing people.
25:07Brian and Sean.
25:10Daniel, Harvey, Stacey, the grandchildren and now Freddie.
25:14You've still got her.
25:16Where?
25:18Not here, with me.
25:20In my own home, together, as a family.
25:23And now you accuse me of doing the same to you, of taking your child away from you.
25:27I'm sorry.
25:29But someone is after her.
25:30Well, why are you here, then, bothering me?
25:32Because the last thing I want is to lose anyone else.
25:37Jean.
25:38You're not getting rid of me, no matter how hard you try, OK?
25:43We're going to look after you.
25:46We'll get you better.
25:49Jean, you've got so many people that love you.
25:52Oh, Kat.
25:54You've not listened to a word I've said.
25:56Mum?
26:08I forgot to say something earlier.
26:12Well, the kids are watching telly downstairs, so get it out.
26:16You know you want to.
26:22Really?
26:24I'm sorry.
26:26I think it was just the shock of it all.
26:29Well, I wanted it to be a surprise.
26:35Well, it worked.
26:35I think this, um, unique B&B...
26:44Boutique Hotel.
26:45Sorry.
26:46Sorry.
26:46Boutique Hotel.
26:47Yeah.
26:47Boutique Hotel is the perfect new chapter for all of us.
26:52Now, come here.
26:53Hug it out.
26:53Hug it out.
26:54Come on.
26:55Just three peacocks in their palace.
26:57LAUGHTER
26:58OK.
27:10Is he OK?
27:13Paramedics got him on oxygen early, so...
27:15He's a wally.
27:16He's a bride, Wally.
27:18You don't have to sound so surprised.
27:21What have you got to look at me like that for?
27:23Well, if she's going to lie about this,
27:24then I'll just go do it somewhere else, would you, please?
27:26No.
27:26Zoe said that someone was trying to hurt her, not Oscar.
27:29Yeah, she said he was going up before he went in.
27:31Yeah, and small thing, I would never hurt him.
27:34Do you try and be annoying, or is it just your personality?
27:37All right, listen.
27:38I think you need to go home, yeah?
27:40You know he's OK.
27:42And he's got his family here, so...
27:43No.
27:44No, you can't force me to leave.
27:45I reckon I can.
27:50Where's my son?
27:51Never mind.
27:53Who's your son?
27:55No.
27:55No.
27:55No.
27:55No.
27:56No.
27:57Yeah.
27:57No.
27:58No.
