00:00And they're the kids, so thank you.
00:02Bye.
00:04You know what mum had a love bite in her neck?
00:06Oh, no.
00:07Yeah, I don't really want to think about it, but yeah, she did.
00:11Well, it isn't my dad.
00:13Be bored till later.
00:17You've got to tell him you can't come, mum.
00:19Well, why can't we tell your mum that she can't come?
00:22Well, because if it weren't for him, my brother would still be bored.
00:24Okay, well, I'm not going to start listing all the things that your mum's done wrong, am I?
00:28Mm-hmm.
00:29What, paper scissors?
00:32Rocked paper scissors.
00:34Oh, no.
00:35Two out of three?
00:37No, no, I want fair and square, come on.
00:47If anything ever happened to our boys.
00:57Right.
00:57We have work to do.
01:00Didn't come send you.
01:02Well, it weren't the Pope.
01:04Good news.
01:05The police have confirmed that Anthony suffered two wounds.
01:09The first, you admitted you caused by pushing me against a door, but the second was the cause of death.
01:15So it weren't me.
01:17Which brings me to my next point.
01:21There's a new suspect.
01:26Chrissy Watts.
01:27Well, I can't imagine Anthony being that scary.
01:32I can.
01:34But when he was younger, he was so nice.
01:38It's just sad that life could make you that bitter, isn't it?
01:44I should have done something.
01:45I should have...
01:46I should have said something earlier.
01:48So why didn't you, Kim?
01:51I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
01:55He's Patrick's son.
01:57And I believed he was going to do the right thing.
01:59And I felt sorry for him if he must not.
02:01Will you stop the speculating?
02:03It's not right.
02:10Give Patrick's tea.
02:15It was not your fault.
02:19I never said it was.
02:21I know.
02:21It's all right.
02:23Let's not fall out.
02:27The bed is made and he's not there.
02:33Ritchie?
02:48It's me.
02:49I'm using Ritchie's phone.
02:50Zoe, Zoe, are you all right?
02:51I'm fine.
02:52How's Jasmine?
02:53Yeah.
02:53Yeah, she's here.
02:55Oh, that's such...
02:56Listen, did Ritchie tell you about Chrissy?
02:58Jasmine and I, we both think that she killed Anthony.
03:01Kat, you need to drop that.
03:02I don't want Jasmine involved.
03:04You know what Chrissy is like.
03:06And if the police get to her...
03:08She'll throw Jasmine under the bus.
03:10Make out it was her idea to torment me.
03:12And then what if she chooses to leg it?
03:17What are we supposed to do, then?
03:19Find Chrissy.
03:20And get proof that she did this.
03:22How?
03:23I don't know.
03:23But either way, just...
03:24Keep Jasmine's name out of it.
03:26I've got that.
03:27I love you, darling.
03:30Bad news?
03:32Yeah, Zoe doesn't want you to give a statement about Chrissy.
03:36Why?
03:36She doesn't want it coming back on you.
03:38She's being a mum.
03:41Look, please, just...
03:42I need to track her down.
03:43Just call her.
03:44No.
03:45No.
03:45If she knows I'm here, if she thinks I have stayed,
03:47she will come for me, Kat.
03:48I can't.
03:49All right.
03:49Well, you stay here.
03:50You stay safe, all right?
03:51Don't go anywhere.
03:52You promised me.
03:53Yeah.
03:53Right.
03:53Can you do Jasmine a bit of breakfast?
03:56I won't be long.
03:56What?
03:57What am I going to tell her, look?
03:58Nothing yet.
03:59I don't want anyone else knowing about Chrissy,
04:01because she's dangerous, all right?
04:02I don't want her anywhere near our kids,
04:03or Jean,
04:04not the way she is at the minute.
04:05And keep those boys off their phones.
04:07I'll solve what a piece of noise, shall I?
04:11You all right, kid?
04:13You hungry?
04:15Yeah, I'm starving.
04:16All right, come.
04:23Excuse me.
04:25What is that?
04:26What have you found?
04:29There's my son.
04:31You know that.
04:32He was murdered in there.
04:35Look, listen.
04:36It wasn't just Zoe Slater, you know.
04:40It was she mothered to Kat Slater.
04:42Listen, have you interviewed she?
04:44Eh?
04:45I'm sorry, sir.
04:45But, uh...
04:46Patrick, Patrick, Patrick, how long have you been out here?
04:49They've taken things away.
04:50They know something,
04:52but they wouldn't tell me, man.
04:53It will take time, Patrick.
04:55Jack said he will keep us in.
04:56Look, Jack isn't handling the case.
04:58Then let me take you home.
04:59What for?
05:00It's cold, huh?
05:01It's cold.
05:01No, no.
05:02Jack, Patrick, there's the phones up here about the children.
05:04No, no.
05:05If they won't tell me what's happening,
05:07I'm going to go down to the station.
05:08They wouldn't ignore me.
05:10They just do their job now.
05:13Oh, did you, um...
05:14Did you hear they've arrested Zoe?
05:17Yeah, I know.
05:18Poor Kat.
05:19Here.
05:20Do you think she killed him because he was the one doing the pranks?
05:23Well, I won't call arson pranks, Ian.
05:26But I did text you Landy and ask her if she wanted us to cancel it.
05:29Well, no, no, no.
05:30We can't go doing that.
05:32Well, we can't shell out for the ingredients all over again.
05:34Oh, it's turkey sandwiches, Ian.
05:35Yeah, and they can cress.
05:36Anyway, she said no.
05:38No, of course we shouldn't.
05:39A baby's life must be celebrated is what Patrick would want.
05:42Right, there you go, then.
05:43Yeah.
05:44Morning.
05:45All right.
05:45Oh, you're coming, then?
05:47Yeah.
05:47I wouldn't miss my grandson's christening, would I?
05:50Well, it looks like you're going to a funeral.
05:53For Stephen's birthday today, he would have been...
05:56I hadn't forgotten.
06:02Nor have I.
06:04You know, I don't know what it is, but it's just hit me really hard this year.
06:09Must be new babies.
06:10They make you think, don't they?
06:12And Stephen did look so beautiful on his christening gown, didn't he?
06:17Anyway, can I help?
06:19Oh, this thing, Cindy.
06:20You could load the dishwasher for me if you want.
06:23Oh, actually, there's a lot of bodies in this kitchen.
06:26Can I do it later?
06:28Any coffee going?
06:31All right.
06:33Um, Peter, I meant what I said earlier.
06:38I do not want that man anywhere near this baby's christening.
06:41All right, he's not coming.
06:42I told Lorna she agrees.
06:44Yeah, she's telling him now.
06:50It's beautiful.
06:52Go on with your grandad.
06:56Is that Braille?
06:58Yeah.
07:01Yeah, it says Jimmy.
07:05Well, I want to be a part of his life, Lauren.
07:09I want to be a better grandad than I have been a dad, so...
07:12Okay, what's the matter?
07:19I actually came over here to tell you that we don't think it's a very good idea you come in today.
07:27Right.
07:30What, because of Jack?
07:32No.
07:33Because of Cindy.
07:34What do you mean, Cindy?
07:36Well, she's never really been able to get over what happened with Stephen.
07:40I know what it's like, Lauren, all right, to lose a kid.
07:44You know, she's the one who walked out in her family.
07:46You know, at a certain point, we've all just got to move on, haven't we?
07:50It would mean the world to me to be there today.
07:55All right, so I do.
07:57You can come.
07:59You sure?
07:59Just promise me that you'll be on your best behaviour, yeah?
08:04Yeah, of course.
08:06And with Uncle Jack, you know, an apology wouldn't go amiss.
08:11Well, when's he going to apologise to me, Lauren, you know, for keeping your nanny a secret?
08:14Do you want to come to this christening or not, Dad?
08:20All right, fair enough.
08:22Thank you for this.
08:23See you later.
08:24See you later.
08:25See you later.
08:29Take it she liked the cup?
08:32Uh, yeah.
08:35Don't suppose a text would cut it, would it?
08:38Your big apology?
08:40No, you won't.
08:42No.
08:46Jack!
08:48Yeah, it's going well.
08:50I just got back.
08:53This way.
08:55Cos I couldn't stay away any longer.
08:57Plus, they're buying it, so we're OK.
09:00Dad!
09:00Dad?
09:02Uh, let me call you back.
09:03Yeah.
09:05Hey, come here, right there.
09:07Yes.
09:08Um.
09:09Oh.
09:10Why are you doing it?
09:11Well, I missed you lot, didn't I?
09:13What'd you say, uh, I bought a sword a slap at notch?
09:16Yeah.
09:16Yeah.
09:16Yeah, let's do it.
09:17Right, get him.
09:18We'll head to Soho.
09:20Can I get a kiss?
09:21Oh, get him, you.
09:26Right.
09:27Come on.
09:29Right.
09:30Let's go.
09:30Let's go.
09:30Now, it's a shame you weren't here for Christmas Day.
09:47Yeah.
09:48They said it could be triggering.
09:51By the looks of things, they weren't wrong.
09:52Um, I'll, um, tell you all about it inside, yeah?
09:58Harry?
09:59Put the kettle on, Blake.
10:01See you inside.
10:02Hi.
10:06You're back.
10:07Well, obviously.
10:09Um.
10:11Hi.
10:11Hi.
10:12How was it?
10:14Yeah.
10:14Yeah, it was great.
10:15You like my tan?
10:17No.
10:18Sorry.
10:20How are you?
10:21You look great.
10:22I am Jimmy's godmother.
10:26It's the christening today.
10:27They chose me and Penny.
10:29What were they thinking?
10:30Yeah.
10:31Exactly.
10:33It's really good to see you.
10:36Look, if you want to catch up later, I'll...
10:38I do.
10:40I really do.
10:42Just they've given me a load of rules to follow,
10:44and I'm not supposed to get into anything romantic at the moment.
10:49All right.
10:53Yeah, I get it.
10:57Good luck with renouncing the devil.
11:00Yeah, thanks.
11:01I don't know where she is.
11:12I've messaged Sharon, see if she's got any leads.
11:15Well, surely Jasmine's the person you've got to ask.
11:17Chrissie threatened her, right?
11:19Sorry, he doesn't want her involved in this.
11:20So what are you going to do?
11:22I don't know.
11:23She can't be far.
11:24Track her down.
11:25Get a confession.
11:26Record it.
11:27All right, Private Detective Slater.
11:30You got any better ideas?
11:32I just can't believe that that body was upstairs while we were all in the bar.
11:37Honestly, Kat, how did you hold it all together?
11:39Don't put on that Fred just yet, all right?
11:41We're not out of the woods.
11:44Yeah?
11:45Kat, listen, I'm sorry, love.
11:46I had to tell him about Zoe getting arrested.
11:50All right, I'm coming now.
11:51I've got to go.
11:52See you later.
11:53Okay.
11:53Well, I'm sorry, Peter, but I've already made my decision, so you're going to have to tell her.
12:00All right, where's Oscar?
12:02In bed.
12:04What?
12:05Still?
12:05Yeah.
12:07Is Denise still coming?
12:10Yeah, Kim and Chelsea are going to look after, um, Landy and Patrick for a few hours, so.
12:16When's your mum getting here?
12:18Oh, she ain't coming.
12:21Why not?
12:21AJ must be taking up most of her time these days.
12:26No, she just finds it out coming back to the square, darling.
12:29You know, it's all the memories.
12:30Yeah.
12:31What a shame half of her family live here then, isn't it?
12:34Anyway, do you mind if I just chuck this all over my useless brother's head?
12:41Be my guest.
12:41Hey, Tan.
12:52Yeah, look, I just heard that you're not coming today.
12:54Whoa!
12:56Why?
12:56He's not under.
12:57Sorry, say that again.
13:02It was not a love bite.
13:04No, she just fell on a vacuum cleaner.
13:06Oh, yeah, because she loves cleaning my mother.
13:09Especially on Christmas Day.
13:10All right, then.
13:13Uh, what did it look like, this, this vacuum cleaner?
13:17It's all dark and half your age.
13:20Okay.
13:21Medium height, bald and middle aged.
13:24Oh, yeah.
13:25Very charismatic, actually.
13:28Mum, I've got to tell you something.
13:29Lauren has decided that she wants her dad to come after her.
13:34But you said he wasn't welcome.
13:36That's what you said.
13:36Yeah, I know what I said, and I'm sorry, but she...
13:39Well, she wants her family there.
13:40And she's got a point as well.
13:41Forgiveness is what means we all move forward.
13:44So, I'm sure you understand that, don't you?
13:46Yeah, be careful, Peter.
13:48You're beginning to sound as patronising as your father.
13:51Look, maybe you don't come and we do something for Jimmy another time.
13:54So now I'm uninvited, am I?
13:57That's not fair.
13:57But we should be slapping an as-bow on him, not inviting him.
14:00I mean, after the way he acted...
14:02Mum, it's Lauren's dad.
14:04No, it's not fair, but Peter's right.
14:07Where does holding grudges get anyone?
14:10Yeah, and if he's going to be there, I'm not coming.
14:13And don't even bother making a try.
14:17Well, maybe you can do the dishwashing error.
14:19You know, take your mind off things.
14:22Gosh, listen, I want to talk to somebody.
14:25I want all you to know that my son wasn't one of these men, you know.
14:30He was a good man, man.
14:31He was a doctor.
14:33He wasn't balanced.
14:35Please, sir, just take a seat.
14:39Why nobody want to tell me what's happening?
14:42I've told you, Patrick, they are still interviewing Zoe.
14:45What is she saying about him, eh?
14:49What is she saying about my son?
14:50Getting yourself worked up like this isn't good for you, Patrick.
14:53You're going to make yourself sick.
14:55Tell someone, Anthony, I know he wasn't all that perfect.
14:58But whatever they're saying about him, it ain't true at all at all at all, you know.
15:02Please, please, Patrick.
15:03What has happened was terrible, but this is not the answer.
15:06If they don't want to tell me what's going on, I'm going to have to find out myself.
15:14Oh, God, stop following me about now, woman.
15:21It's just a lot of rumours, right?
15:22A lot of he said, she said, usual nonsense.
15:25Oh, Kat.
15:26Oh, quick, someone's sitting there before she decides to rush off again.
15:29Is Zoe going to prison?
15:31No, it was a mistake.
15:32She's done nothing wrong.
15:33Doesn't mean she's not going to prison.
15:34So she could go to prison?
15:36No.
15:36She's coming home.
15:38She'll be home tonight.
15:42Right, so, what are you doing here?
15:45Well, Kat said I could stay.
15:48Well, surely you can see it's not a good time, so...
15:51Haven't you got somewhere else to freeload?
15:52Jane?
15:53Freeload?
15:53Excuse me?
15:54Well, that's what you're doing.
15:55Well, at least I'm not a scatty old.
15:56Jasmine.
15:57Please, she's been nicer to each other.
15:59Why?
16:00Why should I be nice to her?
16:02Because.
16:03Because what?
16:05Because I'm family.
16:10What?
16:12She's right.
16:13She's Zoe's daughter, and Anthony was her dad.
16:17What?
16:17Yeah, she's part of our family.
16:19She's a slater.
16:20Really?
16:22Sick.
16:22Cool.
16:26You're supposed to be helping with the sandwiches.
16:28Penny's over there now, you know.
16:29Yeah, it's her gig.
16:30She's godmother.
16:31No, we're your godfather.
16:32What?
16:33Why didn't you tell me that?
16:34That's amazing.
16:36That's...
16:36Okay, um...
16:37Yes, what do you want?
16:38Cheese and pickle, or a tuna and cucumber?
16:39Or I make a mean peanut butter banana sandwich?
16:42Whatever.
16:47You all right?
16:48Yeah.
16:49What are you doing here?
16:50Getting my useless brother out of bed.
16:51Yes, uh, let me get some clean pants on, and I'll catch you up.
16:54No, I will wait.
16:56Okay.
16:57Where's wrong on?
16:58No.
16:58What do you want?
17:09That was out of order, all right?
17:12I mean, yeah, you were wrong to keep Annie a secret from me, but...
17:15I shouldn't have hit you.
17:20I think you missed out the vital word there, Dad.
17:24I ain't gravelly.
17:26Well, I just got off the phone from Tanya.
17:28Mum?
17:29Well, congratulations, Max.
17:31Seems you've struck again.
17:33What did she say?
17:34Well, I don't know, Lauren, but it ain't gonna be based on facts, is it?
17:37What, you got no idea?
17:38Listen, Tanya hates me, all right?
17:40She's trying to shut me out, isn't she?
17:42You left your seven-year-old grandkid on her own?
17:45That's just rubbish, Jane.
17:46Well, you went and got your end away with some other woman.
17:48AJ is lively, yeah?
17:50She runs off.
17:51Dad?
17:52That's just lies, anyway.
17:53Oh, what, so AJ didn't go missing for a whole night?
17:56She went missing?
17:57Yeah, but it wasn't my fault.
17:58You were supposed to be looking after her.
18:00I was looking after her.
18:02It was five minutes, Jack, yeah, five minutes.
18:05I went to help a neighbor, she had a spider in the hallway.
18:08Oh, my God.
18:08Joe, you know what I mean?
18:09All I've got to do is look at a woman, Tanya thinks I'm sleeping with her.
18:11Yeah, right.
18:12This shouldn't have happened to Tanya.
18:14AJ is wild, all right?
18:15She gets into loads of scrapes.
18:19What?
18:20What?
18:21So I'm not allowed to defend myself with the truth, is that what you're saying?
18:26Look at you, smiling.
18:27Smirking away.
18:29I bet you couldn't wait to drop me in it with Lauren again, could you?
18:31No, this isn't Uncle Jack, Dad.
18:33This is you.
18:34Believe you me, Max.
18:35I don't get off on you and your family.
18:39Tell you what, mate.
18:39Why don't we step outside?
18:42We're not going to finish what we started.
18:43Dad.
18:44You want to go again?
18:44Well, you want to hit me, do you?
18:46Well, go on, then.
18:46Stop it.
18:47Stop it!
18:48Stop!
18:50Right, do you know what?
18:51You are not coming to the christening.
18:52Get out.
18:55No, that's fine.
18:58Yeah, I'll be the scapegoat of the family.
19:02You have a great day, yeah?
19:04What'd I miss?
19:10So you're our sister?
19:12No, she's...
19:13No, my niece, OK?
19:15It's me.
19:15You're our uncles.
19:17Yeah.
19:17That's funny.
19:19Can't bother to work out what you ask me.
19:21I don't understand.
19:22You've been on the square for ages.
19:25So do you know who did all those things to Zoe, scaring the living daylights out of her?
19:30Was it really, Anthony?
19:31Let's not get into this right now, yeah?
19:34Oh, I see.
19:39It was you!
19:40No way.
19:41Is that true?
19:43Do you know what that did to us?
19:44It wasn't just Zoe you hurt.
19:46It was everyone.
19:47She thought it was me.
19:48Nan got it in the neck.
19:49Oh, like mother, like daughter.
19:51I don't care who you are.
19:53You're not a part of this family.
19:54Look, everyone, you don't know what you're talking about.
19:56And Jean, it wasn't her idea.
19:57She's a grown woman.
19:58She should know better.
20:01Jean!
20:02Jean!
20:05Jean!
20:07You know what happened, don't you?
20:09I know you know.
20:10I don't know, Patrick.
20:11Don't lie to me, no man.
20:13Listen, I'm really sorry for Anthony's passing.
20:17What, passing?
20:18What?
20:19He was murdered.
20:20Murdered in your home.
20:22Was it you?
20:23Take the kids away, yeah?
20:25Kids, back in the kitchen.
20:26Patrick, I promise you, it wasn't me.
20:28I promise you it was, not Zoe.
20:30Lies, man.
20:31Lies, lies.
20:32No, no, no, I'm not lying.
20:33I'm not lying.
20:34Then was it?
20:36What was it?
20:37I don't know.
20:37I don't know.
20:38No.
20:51No.
20:52No.
20:56Oh, Patrick, I'm so sorry.
20:59I'm so, so sorry.
21:00Yes.
21:01I'm sorry.
21:02I'll call you, Landy.
21:04Yeah, but...
21:20I'll bring you another. Thank you.
21:24Can I get you another?
21:26Erm, yeah. Yeah, might as well, yeah. Treat myself.
21:30No-one else has you got to, have they?
21:34Have you Christmas all right?
21:38In fact, I don't know anything about you, Marie.
21:40You've got a family. I bet you haven't got a big family, do you?
21:44Why don't you sit down, join me, tell me about them.
21:46I'm busy.
21:50I weren't coming on to you. I was just like being friendly.
22:00Hi. Dink, have skinny latte, please.
22:08Hello?
22:09What? He's not coming.
22:11Laurence, stay away, please, come.
22:13Really?
22:14Yes, yes, there's space in Dad's car, but you need to come right now.
22:18All right, great, great. Just in a bit.
22:20Oscar, come on!
22:21You seen Jasmine?
22:22Er, not since our last charming encounter, no.
22:36Ritchie?
22:49Shouldn't you get a move on?
22:51With the christening?
22:52Er, no.
22:53I've been uninvited.
22:55Well, why?
22:57You were so happy this morning.
22:59I just want a chance to prove I can be better.
23:01Is that too much to ask?
23:02What?
23:03Well, if you stop wallowing in self-pity, you might be able to catch him up.
23:08Sorry, have you just not been listening or...?
23:11Since when did you do what other people wanted?
23:13But babies bring people together.
23:15No-one's gonna get upset at a christening, are they?
23:18Hello, Marie. Can I get a tea? Take away.
23:25I can't walk. I'm too full.
23:28You should let me have a second scoop of ice cream, then.
23:30Ha-ha.
23:33Well, you... you are staying, right, Dad?
23:35Yeah, of course.
23:37Just let me get the rest of the bags, yeah?
23:42Right.
23:43What about that work stuff you was worried about?
23:46Er, yeah, it's getting there.
23:49Getting there?
23:50Well, you can't just quit, Priya.
23:52You know, it looks dodgy.
23:54I'm gonna have to take my time, and I will get out slow.
23:57But... I have sorted us a flat.
24:00In the brewery apartments.
24:02No way.
24:03Yes, we'll move in next week.
24:05I thought, you know,
24:06we'd better get out of Suki and Eve's hair.
24:08Mm?
24:09Mm?
24:10Mm.
24:11All right?
24:12I've cleared them out of bed, so you can be farting rainbows from now on.
24:27Ravi's back.
24:28What?
24:29I was just seeing him laughing and joking with his family like nothing happened.
24:30All right, darling.
24:31You don't need to think about him.
24:32Okay?
24:33Just stay in your lane.
24:34Let Carmen come for him.
24:35Because believe me, it will.
24:36Come on.
24:37There you are!
24:38Look, I know you're trying to be nice, okay?
24:39And do the right thing as like a mum to Zoe or whatever.
24:40But can we just do that?
24:41You don't need to think about him.
24:42You don't need to think about him.
24:43Okay?
24:44Just, just stay in your lane.
24:45Let Carmen come for him.
24:46Because believe me, it will.
24:48Come on.
24:49There you are.
24:52There you are.
25:02Look, I know you're trying to be nice, okay?
25:04And do the right thing as, like, a mum to Zoe or whatever,
25:07but can we just stop pretending now, please?
25:16What?
25:18It's Zoe.
25:19They've charged her with murder.
25:22Do we have our godparents?
25:29You're in good hands with these, look.
25:32Yeah, he really is.
25:33Yeah, well, she's having him till he turns 18,
25:35then I'll take him on the razz and show him what's what.
25:38I'll do the bullies.
25:40Do the bullies?
25:41Lucky Jimmy.
25:43Okay, we gather here to welcome Jimmy into the family of God,
25:48the church, and to promise our support and prayers for him.
25:52As he begins his journey into faith.
25:55Parents and godparents,
25:58you have the privilege and responsibility
26:00of bringing up this child to know and love God.
26:06Will you do all you can to help and encourage them in that faith?
26:11Yeah, we will, yeah.
26:15All right, yeah.
26:19You're doing it.
26:23Cindy, you okay?
26:25What do you mean, Cindy?
