01:22Merry Christmas!
01:24Thank you so much for my presents.
01:27You shouldn't have done that.
01:28Yeah.
01:29Are you so quiet?
01:30Oh, it's just a lot, you know?
01:31I mean, this is my first Christmas with family in forever.
01:34Well, strap yourself in,
01:35because we've got Hartford Walford coming over later.
01:38Ooh!
01:39Talking to H, come on, mate.
01:40Yeah!
01:41Let's get the show on the road, eh?

01:43Seem like the bit.
01:44Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
01:45Come on!
01:46Come on!
01:47Woo-hoo!
01:48It's only just because
01:53I'm driving home for Christmas
01:57I don't know why
02:05It's so long
02:08But I will be there
02:10I sing this song
02:13To pass the time away
02:16Hey
02:19Happy Christmas, darling girl
02:25Something to keep you warm
02:27Oh, this is gorgeous
02:31I'm sorry I didn't get you anything
02:33You're giving me the best Christmas present a girl could want
02:36Revenge
02:38Oh, no
02:40Not the conscience thing again
02:42We've been through this
02:44That woman deserves everything that is coming to her
02:48She had two perfect little angels, two perfect babies
02:52And she just walked away
02:53Yeah, but maybe she was depressed
02:55Maybe she can help it
02:57Well, why is she looking for your brother and not for you?
03:00You've seen how she lives
03:02She wasn't abused, not penniless
03:04She's perfectly happy and healthy with family who love her
03:08Who could have loved you?
03:09That woman deserves everything that is coming to her today
03:15When are we meeting?
03:20Later
03:21When the pub's empty
03:22We don't want any witnesses, do we?
03:24Jasmine
03:26If you'd have been my little girl
03:29I would have treasured you
03:31You are special
03:33And after today
03:35That woman cannot haunt your thoughts anymore
03:38This is closure
03:40Trust me, yeah?
03:42I'll message you later
03:44Okay
03:45I'll message you later

06:10Oh, I went to 25, what's happened?

11:09No
11:10He sent me this key ring
11:11It's from the day I gave birth
11:13I left it at the hospital

12:09Zoe, she was, she was
12:10She didn't cry, she won't breathe it
12:11Zoe, she was
12:13She was and she survived
12:14Listen Chelsea, are you sure about this?
12:16Because if you ain't you're playing a really dangerous game
12:18But I, I'm sure Kat
12:20Anthony had a contact at the hospital where Zoe had the babies
12:24He found their records
12:26A lie piece of scum

24:45OK?
24:47Um, now, what I did was wrong.
24:51I admit it.
24:52But you, you can be cruel, Zoe.
24:56Why don't you sit down and I'll make us a cup of tea?
24:58Lying, like you did.
25:00Deny me the chance to be a father and you've now driven a wedge between me
25:05and my family.
25:06Is that why you did it?
25:07To intimidate me, to scare me?
25:09This was you, wasn't it?
25:11What?
25:12Pretending to be my son, tormenting me.

25:39Oh, you can't shut me out.
25:40He's not coming for you, he's coming for me.
25:42Don't do this.
25:44Zoe, this is a chance for us.
25:47We can build our family, we can get to know our children together.
25:52This is what we both want.
25:53We both need.
25:54It's a second chance.
25:56You have lost it.
25:57I don't want to do this with you.
25:59I don't want anything to do with you ever again.
26:01What you told Kat about my kids is sick.
26:04I want you gone.
26:05Get out.
26:05If you don't do this with me, I will find them first.
26:09What?
26:09I'll tell them exactly who you are.
26:11Nothing is coming between me and my kids.
26:13You'd be lucky to have me.
26:14Chrissy.
26:42What are you doing here?
26:53Just passing through.
26:56Just passing through?
26:58Yeah.
27:00I don't want any drama.
27:01You don't want me, send me things.
27:17Don't you know which clothes even fit me?
27:25I hope I make it out.
27:27Come on and let me know.
27:30Come on and let me know.
27:31You've got too little should I be looking for you.
27:36We're closed.
27:40I only want one drink.
27:41I said we're closed.
27:46It's a shame.
27:48All my Christmases have come at once when I saw you there.
27:51Don't worry about me.
27:52I'll get a lift back now.
27:53Wait, wait.
28:02Do I know you?
28:04That's a really old one.
28:05What's your name?
28:10Santa Claus.
28:13Where's Mrs. Claus?
28:14That is a really sad story, actually, because we got divorced.
28:19Yeah.
28:20I got the reindeer.
28:21She got the toy business.
28:24All right.
28:25Well, maybe I can serve you just one drink
28:28before you head on back to your bachelor pad in the North Pole.
28:38Just one.
28:4530 minutes?
28:46He said he wants the skin.
28:48No one here cares about the skin.
28:50They've all had the skin full.
28:51What is going on?
28:53Mate, what is going on?
28:54I could eat a horse.
28:55Yeah, we thought this was a lunch, not an evening dinner.
28:58Hey, you lot, why'd you next, you know, right?
28:59People had Christmas dinner at weird times,
29:02but who fancies a nut star?
29:03No.
29:04You got plenty of Christmas.
