00:00MUSIC
00:08Shut up. I'm telling you, alright? She's making the whole thing up.
00:11Just stay away from me, both of you.
00:12What have I done? He's a disgusting old man.
00:14What are you talking about? What are you lying for?
00:16I can't believe a single word that comes out of her mouth.
00:18I just, er...
00:20No, I need to.
00:21Babe!
00:23He loves me, alright?
00:25You, he hasn't thought about in ten years.
00:27He is never gonna choose your side over mine.
00:30It didn't take long for the party spirit to drain out of you, did it?
00:43Yeah, well, Raymond's late tonight.
00:45I want it to be about him, not about me.
00:48Well, because you won't be seeing much of him
00:50when you've taken Nigel off to Portugal.
00:52It was really good this morning, Phil.
00:55A lot of people showed up for you.
00:57There's a lot of people around here who really care about you.
01:05Look, I've spent a long time separated from my son.
01:09If I had my time again, I'm not sure I'd make the same decisions.
01:12Well, in fact, I know I wouldn't.
01:15Look, he still wants to be there for you, doesn't he?
01:17You know, holding your hand tomorrow and that.
01:20Well, I'll make it up to Raymond.
01:22It ain't gonna be forever.
01:24I've got a good reason.
01:26Nigel don't belong in a care home.
01:29Jimmy lives in Walford, not the Arctic.
01:34Where'd you get it, anyway?
01:36The market, the one you got for him, was just a bit, um, blimsy.
01:42Oscar?
01:44What's going on? What's up?
01:46No, it's Daddy. He's, um...
01:48The girl's a liar, mate. She's dangerous.
01:50Who is? What, Jasmine?
01:53Could someone tell me what's going on?
01:55I'm trying to win with her.
01:56Of course I didn't, mate.
01:57Well, you saw her. I've got no interest in her.
01:58Plus, we're just starting to sort things out, the three of us.
02:00Why would I put that at risk?
02:02Don't you have a thing for your son's girlfriends?
02:04Do you know he's gonna run away with her?
02:07Plus, she's been hired a cat, all right?
02:08She said she was gonna try and help get Zoe out.
02:10She didn't mean any of that.
02:11Shut up, Dad!
02:12Please, Oscar, please, all right?
02:16Mate, I've lost so many people in my life, all right?
02:18Why would I risk losing you?
02:20Just go, Dad.
02:21Why?
02:22We're not gonna get anywhere like this, are we?
02:24Just go. I'll call you later, I promise.
02:26You need to go.
02:35I don't know why you're so upset.
02:37I told you that girl was a liar.
02:39I've got enough on my plate, yeah, without you gloating.
02:41Funny, innit?
02:43The only person who actually believes you're telling the truth...
02:46is me.
02:52Jasmine, where were you when he tried it on?
02:57What happened exactly?
02:58Does it matter?
02:59It matters because you're my granddaughter,
03:01and if anyone hurts you, I'll have them for breakfast.
03:03It's nothing, all right? It's done.
03:05Just relax.
03:06Yeah, Cat.
03:07I'll go for a walk.
03:12Nothing, she said.
03:13No woman that's been touched by a bloke that doesn't want to be touched by him says it's nothing.
03:17Cat, there's no right way to react to something like this, you know that.
03:20It's like she's glad it happened.
03:22Oh, Cat, come on.
03:23No, no, it doesn't make sense.
03:24Why would Max do it in here for everyone to see?
03:26Who knows?
03:27She's given me no details.
03:29She doesn't even bother to lie about them.
03:31It's like she wants to cause trouble and then, you know, just move on.
03:35Do you think she's making it up?
03:37I would never accuse any woman of lying about something like this.
03:41Jean said she's a liar and she can't help herself.
03:44Come on, you know Jean won't well.
03:46Doesn't mean she's wrong, though, does it?
03:49Look, you can't forget how this all started.
03:51The playing games, getting in Zoe's head, driving her mad.
03:54What normal person does that and carries it on for months?
03:58She's lying about Max.
03:59What else is she lying about?
04:01I know you're under a lot of stress at the moment with the Zoe thing.
04:05And, you know, stress, Cat, can do strange things to your head.
04:09You know that.
04:11Tell you what.
04:12Why don't you take the afternoon off and go and do a bit of sharpen?
04:17Yeah?
04:18I think that's a good idea.
04:19Yeah, all right. Good girl.
04:20Alfie, can I have some help out here?
04:21Yeah, all right, listen, I'll catch you later.
04:23Yes, darling.
04:24What can I get you?
04:32Isn't that a waste of time dusting something that's destined for the nearest skip?
04:35Oh, it's good news.
04:36Councillor Barker and I have come to a mutual, beneficial understanding.
04:41He says he doesn't have any issue with the sign at all.
04:44I mean, what better way to welcome new customers than a gorgeous, trustworthy face of the owner.
04:50But... but... it's an abomination!
04:53It's called marketing, Ian.
04:55Probably something that a two-bit pie shop owner like you wouldn't understand.
04:59Well, I am not gonna rest until I have got rid of that monstrosity.
05:03Well, you keep going and I'll keep farting back.
05:10Yeah, I'm listening.
05:16No, that is my top offer.
05:18Can't go any higher than that.
05:20What, are you gonna walk away over a few quid?
05:23You all right?
05:24You've got a face on you.
05:26Yeah.
05:27Just lost Wolf at East.
05:28Oh, I'm sorry.
05:29Yeah, that ain't right.
05:30You'd make a better go at that than anyone.
05:31Yeah, it don't mean nothing.
05:32Only speaks...
05:33Loud.
05:34I'm 10K short, so...
05:48Are you really just gonna run away with her?
05:53I know you love her.
06:00You can't just take her word for everything.
06:04Why would Dad make a move on her in the middle of the Vic?
06:06No one saw.
06:08Besides, how can you even doubt it, Lauren?
06:10This is what he does.
06:12Max Browning 101.
06:14Yeah, but some of you just don't feel right.
06:16He wrecks things.
06:18He sees other people happier
06:19and he wants them to be as sad and lonely as he is.
06:23That's why I want to get away.
06:26Be with Chaz.
06:27I can't hang around here expecting him to change.
06:29I can't.
06:33Look, I get it.
06:35It's rinse and repeat with that man.
06:37I know.
06:39But he is not the only family that you've got here.
06:45Promise me you won't just run away.
06:48Please.
06:51Look, this is your...
06:52your home, Oshka.
06:56He's resting.
06:58Avani's with him.
07:00He told you he wasn't ready to go and see his mates.
07:03I'm sorry.
07:04It was me who actually made the suggestion.
07:06He's his dad and he should know better.
07:08Honestly, why couldn't you listen for once?
07:10I thought you'd help him get back to normal, okay?
07:13He's not normal, Rav.
07:14He's traumatised.
07:15Honestly, what is going on inside your head?
07:18We've got one kid who's about to face the scum who assaulted her in court
07:21and the other one who sees danger wherever he looks.
07:23They need wrapping up right now.
07:25And the last thing either of them need is to hear you two arguing.
07:30Take this to Nugget and see if he's all right.
07:33Shouldn't you two be at that workshop for you by now?
07:35Yeah, it started a while back.
07:38It's probably nearly finished by now, so...
07:41Look, I'm sorry.
07:45I didn't realise how much it would affect Nugget going outside.
07:48You're not a parent, so why would you?
07:51Don't talk to her like that, Robbie.
07:53I'm sorry.
07:53Okay.
07:54I'm sorry.
07:57Priya's right.
07:58I should have listened.
07:59This is on me.
08:00How are things at Lynn's?
08:11What do you think?
08:12You know Lynn doesn't like me.
08:14If the Wendy's weren't on holiday, I'd have gone and stayed there.
08:17Lynn keeps the thermostat on at 23 all day.
08:21And Mo has got the television on all day.
08:23It's like living in a flipping old people's home.
08:26It'd be nice to have met up.
08:27It'd be lovely to see you in person.
08:29Well, you're seeing me now.
08:32Anyway, did you really think that I would come trundling back with my tail between my legs?
08:36I stand by what I said.
08:39Unless...
08:39Are you phoning to apologise because you've suddenly realised I'm right?
08:44Mo, will you turn the television off just for once?
08:49God!
08:50Well, what is it you want, Kat?
08:51You obviously want something, so what is it?
08:53Maybe this weren't a good idea.
08:54I don't want to upset you, Jean, all right?
08:56Well, I'm here now.
08:59I just wanted to see you to find out if you've changed your mind about Jasmine.
09:04And I'm hoping that you're feeling better.
09:07Right.
09:08I've said it once, and I will say it till I'm blue in the face.
09:12There is a darkness about that girl.
09:15And if you were really honest with yourself, Kat, you already know that.
09:18So, no, I've not changed my mind.
09:21And I am feeling a little bit better in spite of living here.
09:24Thank you for asking.
09:26But it's, you know, it's a long process.
09:28It's not just a switch you can flick on and off.
09:30I just, I thought, if you could turn back, would you do things differently?
09:41Oh, Alfie did say I was spiralling.
09:45Which gave everybody an excuse to dismiss me.
09:47They just saw the bipolar.
09:48They didn't see through it.
09:49They didn't actually listen to what I was saying.
09:53I know I'm right.
09:55Jasmine murdered Anthony.
09:57She is evil.
09:59And I am not sorry for saying it.
10:02If I could go back and do things differently, well, I'd...
10:05I'd play the long game.
10:09I'd bide my time.
10:11I'd make out that I was her best friend.
10:13And then, then I'd get her tip.
10:26She called me a two-bit pie shop owner.
10:29I mean, the cheek of it.
10:30I mean, the Bill Business Empire has been the backbone of Walford for generations.
10:34I thought your dad just had the stall.
10:36Yeah, but I took what he had and I ran with it.
10:40Chippy.
10:41Pie shop.
10:42Stool.
10:42Laundrette the calf, if you include my mum.
10:44If that isn't the business empire, I don't know what it is.
10:49Relaunch, cab office and laundrette.
10:52A bit basic, isn't it?
10:54Clean clothes and run cars.
10:56How complicated can it be?
10:57Right, well, where you see complicated, I see opportunity.
11:02All I want is a nice little business to see me and your mum for it to retire, haven't you?
11:06Yeah, I know, I know.
11:07And that is why you've always been a drone.
11:09Oi.
11:10I ain't no drone.
11:11What's that a bad thing?
11:12I mean, someone's got to do the donkey work.
11:13You want to think very carefully about what you say next.
11:15Yeah, but look, all I'm saying is we can't all be thinkers, can we?
11:19I mean, think about it, all right?
11:21You have just bought a business, the cab office, from Cat Slater, and you want to keep it exactly the same way as it is.
11:29Oh, what's wrong with that?
11:31Right, make a few changes, all right?
11:34Have some inspiration.
11:36Be creative.
11:37I mean, that place, that place could be a goldmine.
11:40And that is why you've got me.
11:42I mean, if you want to run a successful business, okay, you need to get the punters in, right?
11:48Put a face to the name, right?
11:51You've got to give them some inspiration.
11:53I mean, that has got about as much inspiration as a wooden spoon.
11:57I spent ages folding this.
12:00Well, in future, leave the inspiration to me.
12:03So, because you found out what they were planning, she accused you of coming on to her.
12:12How could she make up something like that?
12:13I mean, it's disgusting.
12:16Does Oscar believe her, do you think?
12:18Yeah, he loves her, doesn't he?
12:20I mean, who am I?
12:21Just a bloke who blew his family up and then disappeared on him.
12:24You're more than that, Max.
12:28Well, talk to him again.
12:30Talk to him and don't stop until he sees your side.
12:32No, there's no point, isn't it, all right?
12:33Everyone thinks they've got me figured out, don't they?
12:36Max Branning into younger women.
12:38Can't keep it in his trousers.
12:41Why are you assuming that no one's going to believe you?
12:45I do.
12:48Yeah, but you're different.
12:53Look, you've spent a long time trying to get your kids back on side.
12:57You can't just give up on that because some little madam's got it in for you.
13:00You need to fight for your family.
13:03Well, you risk losing Oscar for good.
13:06It's up to you.
13:10I've told Oscar not to go off anyway.
13:13How's he been?
13:13He's all right, yeah.
13:15A bit quieter than usual, but it's been quite nice, actually.
13:17You two look serious.
13:19Don't tell me.
13:20Max Branning's wandering around.
13:22Jasmine isn't exactly the only sunshine, is she?
13:25She could have made this whole thing up.
13:27I mean, this is Max we're talking about, right?
13:29Oscar could be on the next train out of here.
13:32He's been doing better than he has for years.
13:34I need him to stay here with us.
13:38When you see that Jasmine, just tell him to stay away from her.
13:41All right.
13:41All right.
13:42Well, you just leave it, yeah?
13:46You've already made this mess that I'm going to have to clear up, as usual.
13:50And go back to work.
13:51Yeah, me too.
13:54You're loving all this, isn't you?
13:58Why don't you help me?
14:00And why would I do that?
14:02Please, Cynthia.
14:02I was just trying to take my son away.
14:04Sounds a lot like karma to me.
14:18Looking for your next business venture?
14:20Well, even dinosaur like me uses internet these days, but, yeah, it's not my to-do list.
14:27Well, don't bother, because I can have ten grand in your account by the end of play today.
14:34Go on, find the estate agent.
14:38So don't give all for these to someone else.
14:43What's going on?
14:44Sorry, I thought you'd be biting me hand off.
14:46I don't offer sweeteners like this to just anyone, you know?
14:50Yeah, well, that's sort of the problem, isn't it?
14:53I mean, what is this?
14:56Is it pity or something else?
14:58No, it's business, George.
15:02I think you'll make a great go of the place.
15:05All right, and while you do, you can pay me back my estate plus 5%.
15:08Well, if I want a loan, I'll go to the bank.
15:19Wow.
15:21You wouldn't know an opportunity if it smacked you in the face.
15:27Do you know what?
15:29Find some other mug to front you.
15:31Yeah, boy.
15:44Anything's out for us, mate?
15:46Couldn't they made your face a little bit bigger?
15:48If you want to appeal to the people, okay, you've got to give them the personal touch,
15:53you know, a little bit of charisma.
15:54Brian, I've got shoes with more charisma than you.
15:56Me, successful businessman.
15:59You, lanky trainee barrow boy with daddy issues.
16:04No, not today.
16:05Look, I am trying to set something up here, okay?
16:08Although some people think I am just a two-bit pie shop owner.
16:13Okay, that's very specific.
16:14Mm.
16:15All right, come on, hand those out.
16:16Mm.
16:21Oscar, sorry about you.
16:22Lauren's pretty upset about what's happened.
16:26I can only imagine what you're feeling.
16:29Sex, gannels, and upsets.
16:31Sun's died up.
16:33Are you really going to go?
16:37Listen, take it from someone who literally went to the other side of the world when my sister died.
16:42Your problems, they just, they follow you, mate.
16:46Look, Lauren and Louis will be gutted if you ever left.
16:49I would, too.
16:57No, we didn't find a greener bag.
17:01So, you want your feet?
17:03Well, I wish someone would offer me ten grand out of the blue.
17:08You don't know Nicola.
17:10Nothing comes without strings attached with her.
17:13Hang on, aren't you two supposed to be on the same side?
17:16She's having your kid.
17:17Which is why the last thing I need is to be in debt to her.
17:21She says it's just business.
17:23But how can it be?
17:25You know, like you just said.
17:27Me and her, we've got a lot more going on, so...
17:30Maybe she's thinking about herself.
17:33Well, in Walford East, you're a bloke with assets.
17:35But without it, you'll be paying child support in IOUs.
17:39Well, whatever her reasons,
17:42if someone was offering to bankroll my new business,
17:44I would bite their hands off.
17:46But that's just me, George.
17:48I'm a single soul.
17:51You all right?
17:53Sam said Raymond was stopping at night.
17:55Yeah, he's brought his game console round.
17:57He'll get up half the night for us, you mean.
17:59Well, tell him if he can get you to do the dancing one,
18:00I'll slip him a tenner.
18:02Come and join us, if you like.
18:03I'd love to.
18:05But I, um...
18:07I've got a spa treatment at Walford General
18:09that I need to pack full.
18:33Lovely. Thanks, girl.
18:40Hey.
18:40Cheers.
18:41Kathleen Moon, I noticed you didn't bring any bags back.
18:44It's not like you, is it?
18:45No, I ditched the shopping.
18:46I called Jean instead.
18:48She thought that Jazz was sussed from the start.
18:50Yeah, we all know why, don't we?
18:51Well, she's better now.
18:53I was hoping she'd change her mind
18:55and realise that she was wrong.
18:56And is she?
18:59Kat, I told her you'd keep an eye on Jazz
19:01when you promised.
19:02Yeah, and I'm keeping it.
19:05That girl is the best chance we've got
19:06of getting Zoe out of jail.
19:07From now on, I ain't letting her out of my sight.
19:18I actually asked Peter to take the boys out
19:20so that I could talk to you.
19:22If you're just going to slay Jasmine off...
19:24No, I'm not.
19:26It's hard being in this family sometimes.
19:28The good and happy memories,
19:32they all just sort of get tangled.
19:36Like me and Abby when we were little girls.
19:40That stupid gerbil thing that she had.
19:42And you being born.
19:47It all just sort of gets mixed in with mum and dad
19:52and all the drama.
19:54Dad and Stacey.
19:56Dad and...
19:57Whoever.
19:59Exactly.
20:03But for what it's worth,
20:05I do think that he's really trying.
20:07And I think it's only fair that we hear
20:10his side of this story too.
20:13Only when you're ready.
20:15For now, I'm...
20:17I'm mainly worried about you.
20:22Look, I ain't saying...
20:23It's...
20:25It's not been hard, but...
20:28We're getting there.
20:29You're getting there.
20:35Surely you've got to know that running away
20:37is not a good idea.
20:39I didn't exactly come up with it, did I?
20:41Yeah, but you went along with it though.
20:44You've got yourself into a lot of trouble
20:46just going along with other people's bad ideas.
20:50Do you not think it's time that you start
20:52listening to yourself for once?
20:54I know, but...
20:56Jazz...
20:56No, Oscar.
20:57Are you not hearing me?
20:59Deep down, I think you know
21:03what you've got to do.
21:07Just...
21:07Just trust your gut, yeah?
21:13I love you.
21:29Hello?
21:32It's me.
21:34Um...
21:34I've been thinking, and...
21:37I want to leave.
21:41Okay then.
21:43Bye.
21:43Bye.
21:43Listen, I'm sorry we didn't make the workshop.
21:51I know how much it meant to you.
21:53No.
21:54It's like family needed you.
21:56You know, it's got to come first.
21:57I know.
21:58Like you need parenting workshops anyway.
22:01Listen, there's still a lot I could learn.
22:02You know, ask any one of my kids.
22:04Right.
22:04You've spent the day
22:06supporting the Barney and Nugget.
22:08And you've been parenting their parents on top of that.
22:11So I think
22:12if we are lucky enough to adopt
22:15whatever that kid's got going on,
22:17we are more than capable of handling it.
22:20Yeah?
22:20What is your problem?
22:26Excuse me?
22:27Be with my brother.
22:29Cramp him around your little finger if you want.
22:30I don't care.
22:30But you don't get to come in here
22:31and just wreck my whole family.
22:33What's this all about?
22:33You call yourselves a family, really.
22:35Yeah.
22:36Yeah, I do.
22:36We love each other no matter what.
22:38You, you're just spiteful.
22:39Well, Lauren, hold on a second, though.
22:41It's your own man's wrong doing nothing to do with Jasmine.
22:43I know what my dad's like, yeah?
22:44I know.
22:45But I also know when he's telling the truth.
22:47He did not touch you.
22:49I can literally smell the lies on you.
22:51Stop this now, Lauren.
22:53Just tell the truth.
22:54Go on.
22:55Tell the truth now
22:56or I'll put a skank-shaped hole in that wall.
22:59Boy, no one talks to my granddaughter like that.
23:01Not in my pub.
23:02Not ever.
23:03Why did you do it?
23:05Why?
23:06Are you that insecure?
23:07You can't just share him with his own family.
23:10I mean, who are you?
23:11Who even are you?
23:13All right, as your last chance,
23:15either walk out or I'll sling you out.
23:17Yeah, I'm going.
23:19All right, Jess, I'll get you a drink, darling.
23:25Cheers.
23:27Listen, I know things are tense at the minute
23:29and we don't know each other,
23:30but I will do anything to protect you.
23:33Do anything.
23:36I think I need to know.
23:37I know you picked on someone who actually deserves it.
23:51Smart to accuse Max Brannan.
23:54Everyone knows he does his thinking with his downstairs brain.
23:57I didn't accuse him of anything that wasn't true.
24:00You might think you fool both sides of your family,
24:03but you don't fool me, Jasmine.
24:05Why's everyone always talking about how messed up my family is?
24:07What, can't none of you take a look in the mirror?
24:10You're a liar.
24:11And sooner or later, everyone is going to know it.
24:14Says the woman who faked her own death.
24:16Oh, and I haven't forgotten the buzz I got
24:18from pushing you down the stairs, by the way.
24:21You know, next time,
24:22I wouldn't even need to get my hands dirty.
24:24Surely a family like the Fords
24:25can't be that hard to track down.
24:28Wouldn't they just love to know where you've washed up?
24:30Nicola.
24:45Is that office still on the table?
24:48Well, it depends.
24:50You're still going to have the same bad attitude as earlier.
24:53But I ain't going to beg you to take my money, George.
24:56Well, yeah.
24:57I had a chat with a friend of mine,
24:58and she said I was a mug to turn you down, so...
25:02But you do understand why I'm worried.
25:07Not really. No.
25:09We're going to be co-parenting soon.
25:12I don't want to start out with your foot on my neck, that's all.
25:16Well, start turning a profit.
25:19Pay me back.
25:20I'll be out of the picture before this baby's off the boob.
25:24So that's the contract repayment method,
25:27everything above board.
25:30Strictly business.
25:31Yeah.
25:32I mean, sign a contract with me, you'd better stick to it.
25:35If you like your kneecaps, that is.
25:43Come on, ladies.
25:51I'm giving you a cocktail.
25:53I want a cocktail.
25:57So why have you texted me to come round here?
26:00You've been loving watching me suffer, haven't you?
26:03Do you want my help, Max?
26:05You don't want to help me, Cindy.
26:06I hate me more than Jasmine does.
26:08It's not all about you, you know, or me.
26:11Think about Lauren, Peter, the kids.
26:14What are you talking about?
26:18I thought the worst thing that little witch could do to me
26:20was boot me down the stairs.
26:23Yeah, well, now she's...
26:25She knows something about me.
26:27About my past.
26:29Pretty much said if I step out of line,
26:32dancing to the tune of psychotic teenager is not an option.
26:37Listen, if we find a way to get rid of her,
26:44everyone's a winner.
26:50Nothing will change the way I feel about you, Max.
26:53The things you did to my children,
26:56there is no going back from that.
26:57Do you understand?
26:57Yeah, of course.
27:00We've got enough friends, Cindy.
27:01Jasmine is a nasty, cunning liar
27:07who will trample on anyone to get what she wants.
27:12She might be the sequel,
27:14but I'm the original.
27:17And whatever we come up with,
27:20that nasty little problem child,
27:22we'll never see it coming.
27:24Come in.
27:32Come in.
27:34Come in.
27:35Come in.
27:36Come in.
27:37Come in.
27:38Give me your help.
27:39See you all in a dessa.
27:45Because in this way,
27:47you doesn't experience this.
27:48You don't have to be like a magic leaf.
27:50You don't have to be like a magic leaf.
27:52Be like a magic leaf at night.
27:54You don't have to be like a magic leaf.
27:56It's like a magic leaf.
27:57It's like another magic leaf,
27:58even if it looks старícios,
27:59you don't see it coming from outside.
28:00You don't have to be like a magic leaf.
