00:00Oh, my God.
00:18Cindy, do not flip out all of this.
00:20There's kids here, yeah? What are you doing here?
00:22I'm here for Lauren and Jimmy.
00:23No, you're not. You are not here for us, Dad.
00:25You are here to make this day all about you,
00:27just like you did at our wedding day.
00:28Cindy, can I just have a word with you?
00:31What are you doing? You're going to make it worse.
00:32I'm not going to make it worse.
00:35Look, I know this is difficult, all right?
00:37I know there's probably loads you want to say,
00:38but can we just start off by saying hello to each other?
00:41It's nice to meet you, Cindy, all right? In the flesh.
00:44If you don't leave, I will crack your head open like a bald egg.
00:48Max, no one wants you here.
00:50It's not going too well, Dad.
00:52Why am I not allowed to be a part of it?
00:54It's my family, do you know what I mean?
00:55I've missed out on so much over the years.
00:56I always thought it was that, then.
00:58Yeah, partly mine, all right?
00:59I take responsibility for that,
01:00but sometimes I miss out because people I trusted kept things from me.
01:04And sometimes I miss out because I was banged up in jail
01:06for something I've never done.
01:09So what, you're a good guy now, are you?
01:11Like Jesus or Santa Claus?
01:14Cindy, all right?
01:15Whatever's between us ain't important, yeah?
01:17We're here for our kids and our grandkids.
01:20So can we please just, you know what I mean?
01:22Can we just bite down on it?
01:25I seem to remember you saying something like that before.
01:32You guys are looking at each other really intensely.
01:35Is there something you want to tell us?
01:37Could someone just please get rid of him?
01:40I'm shaking here.
01:42Yeah, well, I ain't leaving, Cindy, all right?
01:44Ian, the killer of our side is just standing there.
01:47I never killed Stephen, all right?
01:48That was just an accident.
01:49He was my first phone.
01:50The old thing is all messed up.
01:51If it wasn't for you, I'd be here today.
01:53Can you just stop saying that?
01:54Can we just talk in private?
01:55You know, I am actually sick and tired of getting the finger pointed at me.
02:06Especially by hypocrites.
02:07Look at her standing there like the Virgin Mary.
02:10You're lashing out, Cindy, all right?
02:12For one reason, one reason only, yeah?
02:14Christmas.
02:16Well, but perhaps we should, um, we should get on, eh?
02:19Heavenly Father, don't you?
02:20Christmas, what do you mean, Christmas?
02:26Uh, yeah, I think Santa might have put some ginger nuts in Cindy's stocking.
02:33No, you didn't.
02:35Wait, you two slept together.
02:43Ritchie said he's caught within the next few days for a bowel hearing.
02:46But she didn't do it.
02:47What about headwinds?
02:48It's not enough.
02:49Obviously thinks she's lying.
02:51Trying to stick the next one on someone else.
02:52Because it was someone else!
02:54Yes, we know that.
02:55But she's not mentioning Chrissy, which makes her look more and more guilty.
03:00So what do we do now?
03:01Well, it's Chrissy, isn't it?
03:02If we can't find her, we'll get her to confess since Zoe's had it.
03:06She needs us, Jasmine.
03:09She needs to be with all of us.
03:13Please, if there's anything you know that can help us find Chrissy...
03:16It will happen to protecting me.
03:17We will.
03:18No, you want to use me to freeze Zoe?
03:19No, no, no, no, Judge, Judge, listen.
03:22All this has got out of hand drive, but my head is in a mess.
03:24Just come home with me.
03:25We'll sit down and we'll sort everything out.
03:27Home?
03:27That is not home.
03:28Nowhere is home.
03:29Nowhere is home.
03:29Do you think if I'd have known I'd have had anything to do with him?
03:37He is the one in the wrong.
03:39He knew exactly who I was.
03:41No, I didn't.
03:41Yes, you did.
03:43He just didn't say your name, acting like it was some kind of game.
03:45Does that sound like you?
03:46Yeah.
03:46What are you talking about?
03:47I didn't have a clue who she was.
03:49We were in the outfit.
03:50My name is above the door.
03:52What?
03:52What?
03:52You think I look at the door and where any booze are going to?
03:55You're just a barmaid, Cindy.
03:56Why are you just a lonely barmaid who wanted a bit of Christmas TLC?
04:00I was...
04:01I ain't being funny, but he must jump to me.
04:04Shut your mouth.
04:06I have had it with you, turning every special day into a nightmare.
04:10You're a mess.
04:11When are you going to get it in your head that no one here wants you?
04:15Peter, stop it.
04:17Oh, ass.
04:23Are you all right, all right?
04:26Under that little rat right there.
04:29Sucker punching me.
04:30Typical Beale move, that is.
04:32Just calm down, will you?
04:38You know, we've been through hell for the last God knows how long.
04:41And today was meant to be a day when we could just try and be a proper, normal family.
04:46But no, we've got to put up with this.
04:48A slanging match, a punch-up, your disgusting sex life.
04:51I just wanted to share a memory of you all, yeah?
04:53Is that too much to ask?
04:55Yeah, we've done that, all right.
04:56All right, Louie.
04:58Me and your dad only mucking about, innit?
04:59Just go.
05:00Go away!
05:01All right, Louie.
05:02All right, Louie.
05:03All right, Louie.
05:04All right, Louie.
05:05All right, Louie.
05:06Me and your dad only mucking about, innit?
05:08Just go.
05:09Go away!
05:10Go away!
05:11Oh, I missed you, man.
05:12Oh, I missed you too.
05:13Are you feeling better?
05:17Oh, I missed you, man.
05:34Oh, I missed you, too.
05:37Are you feeling better?
05:39Um, yeah, physically, I guess.
05:45You seem that Ravi's back.
05:47Yes.
05:49Well, doesn't it make your blood boil, mate?
05:50How he's got the front to walk around like nothing happened.
05:53Harry, holding a grudge won't help.
05:57Forget about Ravi.
05:58Focus on the good people.
06:00Well, apart from you, mate, all the good people are gone.
06:03You know, Dad, Barney, G.
06:05Barney's still around.
06:07Yeah, but he don't want anything to do with us anymore.
06:09You know, I just wish I could go back in time.
06:13Get everyone back in the house and have it like it was.
06:15I know Teddy isn't able to come back.
06:18But what about Barney?
06:20Well, Tony, he's been with Zach for so long now.
06:25Tell you what, though.
06:26Seeing his soppy face over breakfast would really help me right now.
06:30Come on, eat up.
06:31Move!
06:53Move!
06:55Reckon you should have been christened today biggest baby in town.
07:25Get out of yourself, Oscar.
07:47You're back early.
07:48How'd it go?
07:49Oh, let's just say the vicar is now questioning his faith.
08:03Go to the Beatles.
08:05Beg Lawrence to forgive you.
08:06Start now.
08:07She might forgive you sometime this century.
08:08That's it.
08:15Keep making those healthy life choices.
08:21All my favorite people today.
08:24Oscar, wait.
08:25I'm not having a great afternoon, to be honest, Jazz.
08:27The last thing I need is more mind games off you.
08:29I know.
08:29Just please stop.
08:30I want to tell you something.
08:35I want to tell you the truth.
08:38About me.
08:39It's a process, though.
08:41Listen, Rich is working on it.
08:43You'll be out soon, I promise you.
08:45What have you got there?
08:48Condolence messages from the pub.
08:52What are you doing with them?
08:54Reading them.
08:54Reading them.
08:56Seeing who said something nice and who hasn't.
08:58Don't worry.
09:00I'll take them back.
09:02Jasmine, yeah.
09:03She's, um, gone out for a walk with Jean.
09:06Getting on like house on fire.
09:10All right, yeah, I'll speak to you soon.
09:11Listen, stay calm.
09:13We love you.
09:15Hey.
09:16I've just seen, uh, Jasmine with Oscar.
09:18She hasn't legged it.
09:19Thank God for that.
09:20Listen, you spoke to Sharon about you know her.
09:23Are you 100% sure that Zoe didn't do it?
09:26Because the alarm system didn't go off.
09:29Oh, no.
09:29Jean, you had a power cut, remember?
09:31Oh, dear.
09:32And also, you know, I've explained to you about the head wounds overnight.
09:35Hmm.
09:36I'm just going through it in my own mind.
09:39Because it's horrible to think that a floor that I clean regularly is soaked in a man's blood.
09:46All right.
09:46Don't worry.
09:47I'm on it.
09:47I know she's been through a lot, but I ain't having that.
10:00I mean, I get her point.
10:02Now, how do we know for sure it won't, Zogin?
10:03Listen here, you!
10:06Zoe's gone through hell looking for her kids,
10:08and the minute Jasmine turns up, she's taken away.
10:10Do you know what that feels like?
10:11Because I do.
10:13God knows we've come through for you.
10:15Why don't you try doing the same for someone else for a change, eh?
10:22I was in the hospital because of you.
10:25I know.
10:26The place was burning.
10:28Zoe was inside.
10:29You locked the door on her, Jasmine.
10:31I don't remember, did you?
10:31Oh, come on, stop.
10:32No, seriously.
10:33I was disassociated.
10:34I do not remember, okay?
10:35I'm sorry.
10:36I'm so sorry.
10:37I was, uh, so Cindy was your way in with the Slayers.
10:45What about me?
10:46Was I a way in to, you know, hook up the hottest guy in town for a cover?
10:51No, no.
10:52Oscar, I came so close to telling you.
10:54You are the one thing that has felt real and right in all of this.
11:00Oscar, I mean that.
11:00I really mean that.
11:01I mean that.
11:01Is that everything?
11:08What, do you want more?
11:09No.
11:11No.
11:12Not really.
11:15That's it.
11:18I was messed up, okay?
11:20I was just reacting.
11:22And I know, I know that is no excuse.
11:23The things that I did, they were awful.
11:25And I am never going to forgive myself for them.
11:31Oh, brain.
11:37It's going to take a minute for me to get my head around this chest.
11:41I understand, I mean.
11:44I let everyone, including you.
11:48I can't even ask for anything.
11:51Have you been to see Patrick?
11:52He's not going to want to see me.
11:55You're his granddaughter.
11:58Yeah, he's just lost everything.
11:59Knowing you exist might help.
12:05Same again, please.
12:09I'm Max, by the way.
12:11Nicola Mitchell.
12:14All the world needs another Mitchell.
12:18Where'd you come in a pecking order?
12:20Do you see any pecks on me?
12:22I'm Queen of the Coop, darling.
12:26Saludé.
12:28Simple life.
12:29Oh, my life is far from simple.
12:32Yeah.
12:35You know, everyone likes to think they're complex, but they ain't.
12:40I worked out at a young age that people were just animals.
12:44Base.
12:47I can see in the people's shadows.
12:51Yeah, I know what they really want.
12:53Oh.
12:54Any happier?
12:56Sitting here, drinking on your tod.
12:57Well, I'm not on my own, am I?
13:00Because you're here.
13:02All right.
13:04What do you see in my shadows, Max?
13:13I see an abyss.
13:14I see chaos.
13:18I see chaos.
13:20Danger.
13:26Carnage.
13:26What about the bad stuff?
13:30Here you are.
13:39I heard you wrecked the christening.
13:43I told you that.
13:44Golden boy.
13:46Well, you beat up Peter.
13:47You slagged off Cindy.
13:48And your own daughter.
13:49Yeah, yeah, sounds like you got the old story.
13:54Well, which part isn't true?
13:55My part.
13:56I mean, the...
13:56Me, the way I feel.
14:01It's like my family, you know.
14:03People are supposed to love me the most.
14:06They've come for me the whole time.
14:08So you're blameless, then?
14:09No, I ain't saying that.
14:10They just twist things over and make me the bad guy.
14:13Look, I've lost AJ.
14:19Overnight.
14:19That's why she's with Tanya now.
14:23She's wandered off.
14:24She's stuck in a shed.
14:25I was screaming her name.
14:28Like the worst ten hours of my life.
14:31I thought she was dead.
14:33That's awful.
14:34Yeah, thank you.
14:34It was.
14:37Well, how proud it happened.
14:41Silly.
14:43Neighbour needed a hand.
14:45AJ was asleep.
14:46I left her tablet on live, you know,
14:47just to keep an eye on her.
14:50Must have looked away for like two minutes.
14:51I got back.
14:52She was gone.
14:54This neighbour.
14:57Was it a woman?
15:02Yeah, you're just like the rest of them, isn't you?
15:04Assuming the worst.
15:08Yeah, it was a woman.
15:10So what?
15:11I mean, there's apps for other people, Linda.
15:13They get sympathy.
15:14It happens to me.
15:14I just get snide comments.
15:15I'm trying to help you.
15:16Yeah.
15:18It's what you do all the time,
15:19and it's trying to help everyone.
15:23A wise woman at Warford.
15:27It's embarrassing.
15:33Enjoy your wallowing.
15:34It's fine.
15:34It's fine.
15:41Oh.
15:42Hi.
15:43Hi.
15:47I, um, I bought these for Anthony.
15:52Oh, for Patrick, I suppose.
15:54Sorry.
15:55Um, I didn't want to leave them at the pub,
15:58just because, you know, they need water.
15:59That's very kind of you.
16:04Would you like to go through?
16:06Is that okay?
16:07Oh, yes, go on.
16:12Um, through there.
16:13It's Jasmine, isn't it?
16:28Yeah.
16:29Yeah, Jasmine, Jasmine Fisher.
16:31There he is.
16:42My little bookworm.
16:45I really missed you, mate.
16:47You look a lot better.
16:49Yeah, cheers.
16:49I'm giving it a go.
16:50Thanks for your message.
16:51What did you want to talk about?
16:54Well, firstly, I wanted to say sorry.
16:58I put you through some terrible things,
17:00and I didn't act how a brother should.
17:03Secondly, I want to rebuild our family.
17:05I want you to come home.
17:07It's just me and mum there, and I need you, man.
17:08I need to feel like everything ain't wrecked.
17:12You're my brother, and I love you.
17:15But I can't.
17:16With dad away and everything that's happened,
17:18there's just too much to think about.
17:21I'm really sorry, Harry.
17:23Let's do something together soon, will you?
17:24Yeah.
17:27Stumbag.
17:36What'd you say?
17:37You're not even going to say hello.
17:41Look at you.
17:42You're strutting about like nothing happened.
17:46I have to be somewhere.
17:47Yeah, go on.
17:48Off you pot princess.
17:50Not giving a monkey about the lives you've destroyed.
17:54Listen, Harry, everyone knew what they were doing.
17:56Yeah?
17:57You're an animal, Ravi.
18:01One day, I hope you feel the pain that we have.
18:11I've seen you around with Oscar.
18:17He's a nice boy.
18:20I meant to congratulate them on the Christian, but I haven't had the time.
18:27Oh.
18:28You need something, my darling?
18:31Where's my overproof rum?
18:35I had it here somewhere.
18:36Finish it already, Patrick.
18:37You don't remember.
18:39Let me make you a cup of tea.
18:40Look, and we have a visitor.
18:42I'm sorry for your loss.
18:43Man, can't leave anything at all on this house.
18:48I didn't know Anthony very well.
18:51But I know how shocked everyone is.
18:55Who is this girl?
18:57She brought some flowers.
18:58And you shouldn't have let you in, man.
19:02I don't want anybody at all in this house right now, apart from my family.
19:08I am your family.
19:09So, you are.
19:11So, um, I didn't really know how to do this without, uh, I think you knew that, that Anthony
19:20was looking for some, some kids that he had with, with Zoe Slater.
19:25I'm one of them.
19:28Is this some kind of a trick?
19:30No, no, no.
19:31Did they send you, the Slaters, and them to, for, for us to get on their side?
19:36No, no, I'm your granddaughter.
19:37Anthony, he was my dad, and, and Zoe's my mom.
19:41If that is true, how long have you known?
19:45Not very long.
19:47I mean, uh, uh, Anthony didn't tell me that he, he had a daughter.
19:53I mean, and both of us, we, we, we, we close.
19:56You know, he tell me everything, and if he, if he had a daughter on the doors, he would
20:00have told me.
20:01He, he didn't know.
20:05We didn't get that far.
20:07I, I, I, you know, you just, you just can't catch you.
20:13Hold her.
20:14Yeah.
20:15I'm sorry.
20:16Sorry, this was the wrong time to do this.
20:18I'm sorry.
20:19Just stay away.
20:20Patrick, Patrick.
20:21Look, look, look.
20:23Please, please, Jasmine, Jasmine.
20:26He's grieving.
20:27Just give him time.
20:29Sorry, sorry.
20:30I'm so stupid.
20:31I'm so stupid.
20:32Sorry.
20:33Sorry.
20:37Oh, what are you doing?
20:42Got 20 seconds gone.
20:45Oh.
20:45Sorry, mate.
20:46Was I on your eyes?
20:47Scar.
20:48Make yourself comfortable.
20:49Oh.
20:49Why do we even bother with a family?
21:01Feel free to give me an uplifting answer.
21:06We could resell those sandwiches in the caf.
21:08Is that all you think about?
21:11I'd rather think about sandwiches than you and Max, thank you very much.
21:15People were drinking in that bowl.
21:17Hope you wiped it down.
21:20Well, well.
21:21You know what?
21:21I can't stand it.
21:23I'm getting out of here.
21:44Hi, Cindy.
21:45Had the Christine go.
21:46Oh, don't ask.
21:48Cup of tea with some tranquilizers on the side, please.
21:51I'm just asked to have it.
21:53Oh, great.
21:55You're back, are you?
21:57I'm going to get away from you, OK?
21:58We'll make her mild now, are we?
22:00Look, I've had a really bad day, Cindy, and I don't want to...
22:02Yes, we're too bad.
22:03I want some answers.
22:05Leave her alone.
22:06Is she only a kid?
22:08A kid who tried to kill me?
22:09She shoved me down the stairs.
22:11I'm sorry, I messed up.
22:12I completely messed up.
22:13I didn't...
22:13Well, I want to know why.
22:14I want to know why you're so obsessed with me, Jasmine.
22:17I just...
22:17I didn't mean to scare you.
22:18Yeah, well, you did.
22:19Do you know what it's like to live in terror?
22:23I am talking to you, Jasmine.
22:25I want answers.
22:26Yes.
22:27Yes, I do.
22:30Right.
22:31So I know you're not a Ford.
22:33Then who are you, Jasmine?
22:35Who the hell are you?
22:36She's my granddaughter.
22:37What?
22:42You heard.
22:44She's Zoe and Anthony's kids, so she's part of us.
22:46So if you want to start on her, you go through me first.
22:50Yeah?
22:54Yeah, but that girl is poison.
22:57Ignore her.
22:59You're going to come back with us, yeah?
23:00We'll keep you safe.
23:00I promise.
23:05Oh, come on.
23:05Let's go.
23:06Come on.
23:06Come on.
23:30I just want to say sorry to you, all right, for what I said in the bar.
23:36It was spiteful.
23:43Yeah.
23:44I'm sorry you had to go through that with AJ.
24:01What?
24:04That's just that tone.
24:05What tone?
24:06It's like he speaks to you, Mum.
24:11I really measured.
24:14Like, you're just trying to hold it all together, but really, you want to just put my head through the wall.
24:18You're lucky I'm talking to you at all.
24:20I've let you into mine and Annie's lives, and then you behave like you did today.
24:22Look, I ain't been good, Linda.
24:27Since Tanya, really.
24:30You, you know, I've been on my own a lot.
24:34Just been hating myself.
24:37Hating myself for how I've failed.
24:42Like, today.
24:44Lauren.
24:48Louie.
24:52I don't know why I just keep going off like that.
24:57This messing up feels familiar.
25:00I know that one.
25:02You're scared, you'll get nothing, so you burn everything.
25:07And sure enough, you're right.
25:08You've come a long way.
25:16Yeah, it's not been easy.
25:17Well, it's impressive, though.
25:21I'm a terrible parent.
25:23Even worse, grandparent.
25:28But you're no worse than anyone else.
25:31Well, maybe a little bit.
25:33Yeah.
25:35But none of us are perfect parents, and...
25:39People love to sit in judgmental.
25:40I've been on the end of that.
25:42What, with Annie?
25:44We're with all my kids at one time or another.
25:49Why did something happen, huh?
25:50No, no, I'm just saying, you know, generally, it's not easy being a parent.
25:54Especially on your own.
25:55Do you regret letting me in?
26:10It's all right that Annie knows her dad.
26:14Yeah, but I really want to build something with Annie.
26:19And you.
26:22Yeah, Anna.
26:24And Will.
26:25You've got a good heart in there somewhere.
26:33You don't know what that means to you.
26:40You'll get through me.
26:43You.
26:47You and me.
26:53Where do we let it slip away?
26:55What are you doing?
27:10What is wrong with you?
27:12I'm sorry.
27:13Oh, my God.
27:14You are unbelievable.
27:18Does any sign of affection equal sex to you?
27:20Are you that messed up?
27:21Sorry.
27:22Well, I just thought I saw something.
27:23Yeah, well, you didn't.
27:24I mean, you go around complaining that everyone jumps to conclusions, and then you do that.
27:28Sorry.
27:28All right, I am.
27:29Max, Max, I don't want to hear it, all right?
27:30Just get your head out of your backside.
27:32Grow up.
27:33Prove that you can be a good parent.
27:34Otherwise, you will end up with nothing.
27:38You go up.
27:39Fuck.
