00:00You've got to tell him he can't come, Mum.
00:04Well, why can't we tell your mum that she can't come?
00:07Well, because if it weren't free, my brother would still be...
00:09OK, well, I'm not going to start listing all the things that your mum's done wrong, am I?
00:13Mm-hmm.
00:14What, paper, scissors?
00:17Rock, paper, scissors.
00:19Oh!
00:20Is that free?
00:22No, no, I want fair and square, come on.
00:30If anything ever happened to our boys.
00:42Right.
00:44We have work to do.
00:45Didn't I send you?
00:47Well, it weren't the Pope.
00:49Good news.
00:50The police have confirmed that Anthony suffered two wounds.
00:54The first, you admitted you caused by pushing me against a door,
00:57but the second was the cause of death.
01:00So it weren't me.
01:02Which brings me to my next point.
01:06There's a new suspect.
01:11Chrissy Watts.
01:14I can't imagine Anthony being that scary.
01:18I can.
01:20But when he was younger, he was so nice.
01:23It's just sad that life could make you that bitter, isn't it?
01:29I should have done something.
01:30I should have...
01:31I should have said something earlier.
01:34So why didn't you, Kim?
01:38I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
01:40He's Patrick's son.
01:42And I believed he was going to do the right thing.
01:44And I felt sorry for him if he must, London.
01:46Will you stop the speculating?
01:48It's not right.
01:55Give Patrick his tea.
02:00It was not your fault.
02:04I never said it was.
02:06I know.
02:06It's all right.
02:08Let's not fall out.
02:12The bed is made and he's not there.
02:14No.
02:18Ritchie?
02:33It's me.
02:34I'm using Ritchie's phone.
02:35Zoe, Zoe, are you all right?
02:36I'm fine.
02:37How's Jasmine?
02:38Yeah.
02:38Yeah, she's here.
02:40Oh, that's such...
02:41Listen, did Ritchie tell you about Chrissy?
02:43Jasmine and I, we both think that she killed Anthony.
02:46Kat, you need to drop that.
02:47I don't want Jasmine involved.
02:49You know what Chrissy is like.
02:51And if the police get to her...
02:53She'll throw Jasmine under the bus.
02:55Make out it was her idea to torment me.
02:57And then, what if she chooses to leg it?
03:02What are we supposed to do, then?
03:04Find Chrissy.
03:05And get proof that she did this.
03:07How?
03:08I don't know.
03:08But either way, just...
03:09Keep Jasmine's name out of it.
03:11I've got that.
03:12I love you, darling.
03:15Bad news?
03:17Yeah, Zoe doesn't want you to give a statement about Chrissy.
03:21Why?
03:21She doesn't want it coming back on you.
03:23She's being a mum.
03:26Look, please, just...
03:27I need to track her down.
03:28Just call her.
03:29No.
03:30No.
03:30If she knows I'm here, if she thinks I have stayed, she will come for me, Kat.
03:33I can't.
03:34All right.
03:34Well, you stay here.
03:35You stay safe, all right?
03:36Don't go anywhere.
03:37You promised me.
03:38Yeah.
03:38Right.
03:38Can you do Jasmine a bit of breakfast?
03:41I won't be long.
03:41What?
03:42What am I going to tell her, look?
03:43Nothing yet.
03:44I don't want anyone else knowing about Chrissy because she's dangerous, all right?
03:47I don't want her anywhere near our kids or Jean.
03:49Not the way she is at the minute.
03:50And keep those boys off their phones.
03:52I'll solve her a piece of noise, shall I?
03:56You all right, kid?
03:58You hungry?
04:00Yeah, I'm starving.
04:01All right, come.
04:08Excuse me.
04:10What is that?
04:11What have you found?
04:14There's my son.
04:16You know that.
04:17He was murdered in there.
04:20Look, listen.
04:21It wasn't just Zoe Slater, you know.
04:25It was she murdered her, Kat Slater.
04:27Listen, have you interviewed she?
04:29Eh?
04:30I'm sorry, sir.
04:31Patrick, Patrick, Patrick, how long have you been out here?
04:34They've taken things away.
04:35They know something, but they wouldn't tell me, man.
04:38It will take time, Patrick.
04:40Jack said he will keep us in.
04:41Look, Jack isn't handling the case.
04:43Then let me take you home.
04:44What for?
04:45It's cold.
04:45It's cold.
04:46No, no.
04:47Jack, Patrick, there's the phones up here about the children.
04:49No, no, no.
04:50If they won't tell me what's happening, I'm going to go down to the station.
04:53They wouldn't ignore me, I know that.
04:55They can just do their job now.
04:58Oh, did you, um...
04:59Did you hear they've arrested Zoe?
05:02Yeah, I know.
05:03Poor Kat.
05:04Here.
05:05Do you think she killed him because he was the one doing the pranks?
05:08Well, I won't call arson pranks, Ian.
05:10But I did text you, Landy, and ask her if she wanted us to cancel it.
05:14Well, no, no, no.
05:15We can't go doing that.
05:17Well, we can't shell out for the ingredients all over again.
05:19Oh, it's turkey sandwiches, Ian.
05:20Yeah, and they can cress.
05:22Anyway, she said no.
05:23No, of course we shouldn't.
05:24A baby's life must be celebrated.
05:26It's what Patrick would want.
05:27Right, there you go, then.
05:28Yeah.
05:29Morning.
05:30All right.
05:30Oh, you coming, then?
05:32Yeah.
05:32Wouldn't miss my grandson's christening, would I?
05:35Well, it looks like you're going to a funeral.
05:37It was Stephen's birthday today.
05:41He would have been...
05:4136.
05:44I hadn't forgotten.
05:47Nor have I.
05:49You know, I don't know what it is, but it's...
05:51It's just hit me really hard this year.
05:54Must be new babies.
05:55They make you think, don't they?
05:57And Stephen did look so beautiful on his christening gown, didn't he?
06:02Anyway, um, can I help?
06:04Oh, this thing, Cindy.
06:05You could load the dishwasher for me if you want.
06:08Oh, um, actually, there's a lot of bodies in this kitchen.
06:11Can I do it later?
06:13Any coffee going?
06:18Um, Peter, I meant what I said earlier.
06:23I do not want that man anywhere near this baby's christening.
06:26All right, he's not coming.
06:27I told Lorna she agrees, yeah, she's telling him now.
06:29Oh, it's beautiful.
06:37What's wrong with your grandad?
06:42Is that Braille?
06:43Yeah.
06:46Yeah, it says Jimmy.
06:50Well, I want to be a part of his life, Lorna.
06:54I want to be a better grandad than I have been a dad, so...
06:56You OK? What's the matter?
07:04I actually came over here to tell you that we don't think it's a very good idea you come in today.
07:10Right.
07:15What, because of Jack?
07:17No.
07:18Because of Cindy.
07:19What do you mean, Cindy?
07:21Well, she's never really been able to get over what happened with Stephen.
07:25I know what it's like, Lorna, right, to lose a kid.
07:29You know, she's the one who walked out in her family.
07:31You know, at a certain point, we've all just got to move on, haven't we?
07:35It would mean the world to me to be there today.
07:40All right, so I do.
07:42You can come.
07:44You sure?
07:46Just promise me that you'll be on your best behaviour, yeah?
07:49Yeah, of course.
07:49And with Uncle Jack, you know, an apology wouldn't go amiss.
07:56Well, when's he going to apologise to me, Lorna, you know, for keeping your nanny a secret?
07:59Do you want to come to this christening or not, Dad?
08:05All right, fair enough.
08:07Thank you for this.
08:08See you later.
08:09See you later.
08:15Take it she'll light the cup?
08:17Uh, yeah.
08:19Don't suppose a text would cut it, would it?
08:23Your big apology?
08:25No, you won't.
08:27No.
08:32Jack!
08:34Yeah, it's going well.
08:35I just got back.
08:38This way.
08:40Cos I couldn't stay away any longer.
08:42Plus, they're buying it, so we're OK.
08:45Dad!
08:45Dad?
08:47Uh, let me call you back, yeah.
08:49Hey, come here, right there.
08:52Yes.
08:53Um.
08:54Oh.
08:55Why are you doing it?
08:56Well, I missed you lot, didn't I?
08:58What'd you say, uh, I bought us all a slapping notch.
09:01Yeah.
09:01Yeah.
09:01Yeah, let's do it.
09:02Right, get in.
09:03We'll head to Soho.
09:05I'm going to get a kiss.
09:10Oh, get in, you.
09:11Right.
09:11Come on.
09:14Right.
09:15Let's go.
09:15Let's go.
09:15Now, it's a shame you weren't here for Christmas Day.
09:32Yeah.
09:33They said it could be triggering.
09:36By the looks of things, they weren't wrong.
09:37I'll, um, tell you all about it inside, yeah?
09:43Harry?
09:44Put the kettle on, babe.
09:46See you inside.
09:47Hi.
09:51You're back.
09:52Well, obviously.
09:54Um.
09:56Hi.
09:56Hi.
09:57How was it?
09:59Yeah.
09:59Yeah, it was great.
10:00You like my tan?
10:02No.
10:03Sorry.
10:05How are you?
10:06You look great.
10:09I am Jimmy's godmother.
10:11It's the christening today.
10:12They chose me and Penny.
10:14What were they thinking?
10:16Exactly.
10:18It's really good to see you.
10:21Look, if you want to catch up later, I'll...
10:23I do.
10:25I really do.
10:27Just they've given me a load of rules to follow,
10:29and I'm not supposed to get into anything romantic at the moment.
10:37All right.
10:38Yeah, I get it.
10:42Good luck with renouncing the devil.
10:45Yeah, thanks.
10:55I don't know where she is.
10:57I've messaged Sharon, see if she's got any leads.
10:59Well, surely Jasmine's the person you've got to ask.
11:02Chrissie threatened her, right?
11:04Sorry, he doesn't want her involved in this.
11:05So what are you going to do?
11:07I don't know.
11:08She can't be far.
11:09Track her down.
11:10Get a confession, record it.
11:13All right, private detective Slater.
11:15You got any better ideas?
11:17I just can't believe that that body was upstairs while we were all in the bar.
11:21Honestly, Kat, how did you hold it all together?
11:24Don't put on that Fred just yet, all right?
11:26We're not out of the woods.
11:26It's...
11:27Yeah.
11:30Kat, listen, I'm sorry, love.
11:31I had to tell him about Zoe getting arrested.
11:35All right, I'm coming now.
11:36I've got to go.
11:37I've seen you later.
11:38Okay.
11:40Yeah, well, I'm sorry, Peter, but I've already made my decision,
11:42so you're going to have to tell her.
11:45All right, where's Oscar?
11:47In bed.
11:49What?
11:50Still?
11:50Yeah.
11:50Is Denise still coming?
11:55Yeah, Kim and Chelsea are going to look after Landy and Patrick for a few hours, so...
12:01When's your mum getting here?
12:03Oh, she ain't coming.
12:06Why not?
12:07AJ must be taking up most of her time these days.
12:11No, she just finds it out coming back to the square, darling.
12:14You know, it's all the memories.
12:15Yeah.
12:15It's a shame half of her family live here then, isn't it?
12:19Anyway, do you mind if I just chuck this all over my useless brother's head?
12:26Be my guest.
12:35Hey, Tan.
12:37Yeah, look, I just heard that you're not coming today.
12:39Whoa!
12:41Why?
12:41He's not under.
12:43Sorry, say that again.
12:45It was not a love bite.
12:49No, she just fell on a vacuum cleaner.
12:51Oh, yeah, because she loves cleaning, my mother.
12:54Especially on Christmas Day.
12:57All right, then.
12:58What did it look like, this vacuum cleaner?
13:02Tall, dark and half your age.
13:05Okay.
13:06Medium height, bald and middle aged.
13:09Oh.
13:10Very charismatic, actually.
13:13Mum, I've got to tell you something.
13:15Lauren has decided that she wants her dad to come after her.
13:19But you said he wasn't welcome.
13:21That's what you said.
13:21Yeah, I know what I said and I'm sorry, but she...
13:23Well, she wants her family there.
13:25And she's got a point as well.
13:26Forgiveness is what means we all move forward.
13:29So I'm sure you understand that, don't you?
13:31Yeah, be careful, Peter.
13:33You're beginning to sound as patronising as your father.
13:36Look, maybe you don't come and we do something for Jimmy another time.
13:39So now I'm uninvited, am I?
13:42That's not fair.
13:43But we should be slapping an as-bow on him, not inviting him.
13:45I mean, after the way he acted.
13:47Mum, it's Lauren's dad.
13:49No, it's not fair, but Peter's right.
13:52Where does holding grudges get anyone?
13:54Yeah, well, if he's going to be there, I'm not coming.
13:58And don't even bother making a try.
14:02Well, maybe you can do the dishwasher now, right?
14:04You know, take your mind off things.
14:07Gosh, listen, I want to talk to somebody.
14:11I want to let you know that my son wasn't one of these men, you know?
14:15He was a good man, man.
14:16He was a doctor.
14:18He wasn't balanced.
14:20Please, sir, just take a seat.
14:24Why nobody want to tell me we're happening?
14:27They have told you, Patrick, they are still interviewing Zoe.
14:31What is she saying about him?
14:33What is she saying about my son?
14:35Getting yourself work up like this isn't good for you, Patrick.
14:38You're going to make yourself sick.
14:40It's not my aunt, I know he wasn't all that perfect.
14:43But whatever they're saying about him, it ain't true.
14:45Please, please, Patrick.
14:48What has happened was terrible, but this is not the answer.
14:51If they don't want to tell me what's going on, I'm going to have to find out myself.
14:59Oh, God, stop following me about now, woman.
15:06It's just a lot of rumours, right?
15:07A lot of he said, she said, usual nonsense.
15:10Oh, Kat.
15:11Oh, quick, someone's sitting there before she decides to rush off again.
15:14Is Zoe going to prison?
15:16No, it was a mistake.
15:17She's done nothing wrong.
15:18Doesn't mean she's not going to prison.
15:19So she could go to prison.
15:21No.
15:21She's coming home.
15:23She'll be home tonight.
15:27Right, so...
15:28What are you doing here?
15:30Well, Kat said I could stay.
15:33Well, surely you can see it's not a good time, so...
15:35Haven't you got somewhere else to freeload?
15:37Jane?
15:38Freeload?
15:38Excuse me?
15:39Well, that's what you're doing.
15:40Well, at least I'm not a scale.
15:41Jasmine.
15:42Please, she's been nicer to each other.
15:43Why?
15:45Why should I be nice to her?
15:47Because.
15:48Because what?
15:50Because I'm family.
15:55What?
15:56She's right.
15:58She's Zoe's daughter, and Anthony was her dad.
16:02What?
16:02Yeah, she's part of our family.
16:04She's a Slater.
16:05Really?
16:07Sick.
16:07Cool.
16:08You're supposed to be helping with the sandwiches.
16:13Penny's over there now, you lad.
16:14Yeah, it's her gig.
16:15She's godmother.
16:16No, we're your godfather.
16:17What?
16:18Why didn't you tell me that?
16:19That's amazing.
16:21That's...
16:21OK, um...
16:22Yes, what do you want?
16:23Cheese and pickle or a tuna and cucumber?
16:24Or I make a mean peanut butter and banana sandwich?
16:27Whatever.
16:32You all right?
16:33Yeah.
16:34What are you doing here?
16:34Getting my useless brother out of bed?
16:36Yes.
16:37Er, let me get some clean pants on, and I'll catch you up.
16:39No, I will wait.
16:41OK.
16:42Where's wrong on?
16:43No.
16:51What do you want?
16:54That was out of order, all right?
16:57I mean, yeah, you were wrong to keep Annie a secret from me, but...
17:00I shouldn't have hit you.
17:04I think you missed out the vital word there, Dad.
17:09Thank you, lovely.
17:11Well, I just got off the phone from Tanya.
17:13Mum?
17:14Well, congratulations, Max.
17:16Seems you've struck again.
17:18Oh, what did she say?
17:19Well, I don't know, Lauren, but it ain't gonna be based on facts, is it?
17:22What, you got no idea?
17:23Listen, Tanya hates me, all right?
17:24She's trying to shut me out, isn't she?
17:26You left your seven-year-old grandkid on her own?
17:30That's just rubbish, Jack.
17:31Well, you went and got your end away with some other woman.
17:33AJ is lively, yeah?
17:35She runs off.
17:36Dad?
17:37That's just lies, anyway.
17:38Oh, what, so AJ didn't go missing for a whole night?
17:41She went missing?
17:42Yeah, but it wasn't my fault.
17:43You were supposed to be looking after her.
17:45I was looking after her.
17:47It was five minutes, Jack, yeah, five minutes.
17:50I went to help a neighbour, she had a spider in the hallway.
17:53Oh, my God.
17:53Joe, you know what I mean?
17:54All I've got to do is look at a woman, Tanya thinks I'm sleeping with her.
17:57It's good about Tanya.
17:59AJ is wild, all right?
18:00She gets into loads of scrapes.
18:04What?
18:05What?
18:06So I'm not allowed to defend myself with the truth, is that what you're saying?
18:08Look at you, smiling, smirking away.
18:14I bet you couldn't wait to drop me in it with Lauren again, could you?
18:16No, this isn't Uncle Jack, Dad.
18:18This is you.
18:19Believe you me, Max, I don't get off on you and your family.
18:24Tell you what, mate, why don't we step outside?
18:27We're not going to finish what we started.
18:28Dad.
18:29You want to go again?
18:29Well, you want to hit me, do you?
18:31Well, go on, then.
18:31Stop it.
18:32Stop it!
18:33Stop!
18:35Right, do you know what?
18:36You are not coming to the christening.
18:37Get out.
18:38No, that's fine.
18:43Yeah, I'll be the scapegoat of the family.
18:47You have a great day, yeah?
18:52What'd I miss?
18:54So you're our sister?
18:57No, she's...
18:58No, my niece, okay?
19:00You're our uncles.
19:02Yeah.
19:02That's funny.
19:04Can't bother to work out who you are to me.
19:06I don't understand.
19:07You've been on the square for ages.
19:10So do you know who did all those things to Zoe?
19:12Scaring the living daylights out of her?
19:15Was it really, Anthony?
19:16Let's not get into this right now, yeah?
19:18Oh, I see.
19:24It was you.
19:25No way.
19:26Is that true?
19:28Do you know what that did to us?
19:29It wasn't just Zoe you hurt.
19:31It was everyone.
19:32She thought it was me.
19:33Nan got it in the neck.
19:34Oh, like mother, like daughter.
19:36I don't care who you are.
19:38You're not a part of this family.
19:39Look, everyone, you don't know what you're talking about.
19:41And Jean, it wasn't her idea.
19:42She's a grown woman.
19:43She should know better.
19:46Kat!
19:47Kat!
19:50Kat!
19:52You know what happened, don't you?
19:54I know you know.
19:55I don't know, Patrick.
19:56Don't lie to me, no man.
19:58Listen, I'm really sorry for Anthony's passing.
20:02He was passing?
20:03He was murdered.
20:05Murdered in your home.
20:07Was it you?
20:08Take the kids away, yeah?
20:10Okay, it's back in the kitchen.
20:11Yes, Patrick, I promise you it wasn't me.
20:13I promise you it was, not Zoe.
20:15Lies, man, lies, lies.
20:17No, no, no, I'm not lying.
20:18I'm not lying.
20:19Then what was it?
20:21What was it?
20:22I don't know.
20:36No.
20:39No, no, no.
20:40Oh, Patrick, I'm so sorry.
20:44I'm so, so sorry.
20:46I'm sorry.
20:48I'll call you, Landy.
20:50Yeah.
20:51I'll bring you another.
21:02Can I get you another?
21:11Um, yeah.
21:13Yeah, might as well, yeah.
21:15Treat myself.
21:15Well, no one else has you got no one, have you?
21:20Have your Christmas all right?
21:23In fact, I don't know anything about you, Marie.
21:26You've got a family.
21:27I bet you haven't got a big family, do you?
21:30You sit down, join me, tell me about them.
21:31I'm busy.
21:36I weren't coming on to you.
21:37I was just like being, you know, friendly.
21:39I mean, I'm busy.
21:46Hi.
21:47Do you have skinny latte, please?
21:53Hello?
21:54Mum?
21:55He's not coming.
21:56It's Laurence, stay away.
21:57Please, come.
21:58Really?
21:59Yes, yes.

22:01But you need to come right now.
22:03All right, great, great.

22:05Oscar, come on!
22:06Thanks.
22:07Oscar!
22:08You seen Jasmine?
22:09Er, not since our last charming encounter, no.
22:23Ritchie?
22:26Shouldn't you get a move on?
22:36With the christening?
22:37Er, no.
22:39I've been uninvited.
22:41Well, why?
22:42You were so happy this morning.
22:44I just want a chance to prove I can be better.
22:46Is that too much to ask?
22:48Oh!
22:49What?
22:50Well, if you stop wallowing in self-pity, you might be able to catch him up.
22:54Sorry, have you just not been listening or...?
22:57Since when did you do what other people wanted?
22:59But babies bring people together.
23:01No-one's gonna get upset at a christening, are they?
23:04Hi, Marie.
23:05Can I get a tea?
23:06Take away.
23:07I can't walk.
