00:00I remember Zoe always having her nose stuck in little nose twinkle.
00:04Lynne wanted Zoe to have him while she was banged up.
00:08They'd put and get her through security.
00:09What's she doing?
00:11Yeah, a plea hearing's on Ferris Day.
00:14The murder charge has been reduced to manslaughter.
00:16But she didn't do it.
00:17I know, but Chrissy swears blind it was Jasmine that killed Anthony.
00:20Cobblers, you can't believe a word that cow says.
00:22I don't know.
00:23If Chrissy did do it, why would she risk sticking around
00:26when she could be sunning herself in Acapulco?
00:28Well, you've got to drag the truth out of Jasmine.
00:30Yeah, I'm going to get Chrissy to help me find her today.
00:33That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
00:41For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son,
00:49that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
01:00Oh, is that Sophie with the grandchildren?
01:05Well, if she had changed her mind, she would have let you know.
01:09Oh, what were you?
01:10Sorry, uh...
01:12Was you expecting someone else?
01:13Yeah.
01:16We was hoping that...
01:18Anthony's ex-wife and kids might attend his funeral.
01:24Thank you for coming.
01:26Yeah, I've come to support all of you.
01:34How have you been?
01:37I've been better.
01:39Just praying that Pops gets through the day one piece.
01:45Do we know if Jasmine's going to show her face?
01:47No, she told me she couldn't face it.
01:50Don't know where she is, though.
01:51But why not?
01:52Because Anthony was her dad,
01:53and she should be here and supporting you, Patrick.
01:56Can't blame the girl.
01:59She doesn't know, Anthony, and she hardly knows me.
02:08I'm worried about him.
02:10Look, he's bearing his son, you know, Anthony.
02:11Otherwise, it's going to be a dark day.
02:13What if he never recovers?
02:22Good morning.
02:23No thanks to you.
02:25You all right, Elaine?
02:27Police let you out, did they?
02:30Two full English.
02:32There we go.
02:33Can I just say, you've got a gorgeous figure.
02:35One whiff of a fried slice goes straight to me hips.
02:38Full English.
02:39Sounds lovely.
02:40Kitchen's closed.
02:42Cereal only after nine.
02:47Not coffee?
02:48There is no cereal.
02:50Can you get some more?
02:51Mini-mart's around the corner.
02:52Listen, you're at B&B, all right?
02:54But if there's no breakfast,
02:55what does that beast have for?
02:56Don't you dare try and smear my business
02:59after your grandson's bullying antics
03:01brought police to my door,
03:03which obviously was a complete waste of time
03:04because there wasn't a mark on it.
03:06Mum!
03:08I know you're upset.
03:09Upset?
03:10Try and mortified.
03:12Ian had me interrogated for assaulting a child.
03:15Just go and get Max's cereal.
03:20Breakfast won't be long.
03:21Well, listen, I don't really care about breakfast.
03:25I care about our family.
03:26Our family?
03:28You pretended you didn't know
03:29who was hurting my son just to serve your own ego.
03:32No, I was trying to protect everyone
03:33without upsetting you.
03:35Ollie's autistic.
03:36That means I need all the facts all the time
03:38to give him the support he needs.
03:39I fully hear that, all right?
03:40And I'm sorry, it won't happen again.
03:41You're down the line.
03:42And I swear if Louie comes near Ollie again...
03:43He won't.
03:46I'm going to stop you in smear campaign
03:47against your mum as well.
03:48It's a bit late to play the hero.
03:55Breakfast is served.
04:03All right, Maureen.
04:04Hello.
04:05No.
04:06No.
04:08So, you believe me then, I'm at Jasmine, yeah?
04:10So I can clear my name and get out of here.
04:13What are you worried about your name for?
04:14Your CV's already got husband killer on it.
04:17Did you call me here for another fight?
04:18You really are a glutton for punishment.
04:20If Jasmine killed Anthony,
04:22tell me where I can find her.
04:24What do I get out of it?
04:26Chrissie, come on.
04:27No.
04:27You want me to save Zoe?
04:29What am I going to get?
04:30Nothing.
04:31Give her nothing.
04:32Here, take this.
04:33You can pawn it.
04:34All your plastic trinkets.
04:36I want you to beg.
04:37Chrissie, enough.
04:39Go on.
04:42I beg you, where is my granddaughter?
04:45I want my daughter back.
04:47Stop tormenting her.
04:49Stop it.
04:51First time I saw Jasmine.
04:53She was working at the Continental Cafe in Peckham.
04:57You might want to try there.
04:58Cheers.
04:59Trace, grab my coat for us.
05:01No.
05:02Chrissie.
05:03Jake.
05:04So, is this an ambush?
05:06Oh, don't flatter yourself.
05:07I'm just here to support Kat.
05:09Sam, can you babysit these two for a few hours?
05:11She's told me where I might find Jasmine.
05:13What, and you can trust what she says?
05:15I've got no choice.
05:16I've got to find my granddaughter.
05:33I do know it's a funeral, not Paris Fashion Week.
05:37Fashion never has a day off.
05:39Kat, have you heard anything from Jasmine?
05:42Yeah, I've got to leave and go and find her now.
05:43Well, Patrick, we'd love to see her today.
05:45It's her father's funeral.
05:47I'll try my hardest.
05:49I'm so sorry for your loss.
05:52Thanks.
05:54Thanks.
06:04Let's go.
06:50All right, Jimmy's lunch and his snacks do not touch his hummus, yeah?
06:55Because as soon as he wakes up, he's going to be starving.
06:57Don't worry, I've got it. It's all under control.
07:01What's he doing here?
07:02Oh, he likes bouncing his ideas off me.
07:05He says I represent the proletariat.
07:07I don't think it's a compliment, to be honest.
07:09One second, Ian.
07:10No, no, no, no.
07:13I'm going to try this for my new ticky-top campaign.
07:15Ready?
07:16I will be the councillor to make a real difference.
07:25Oh, thanks for your support.
07:27There was me thinking Elaine did me a favour by attacking Louis.
07:30Ian?
07:31Oh, no, it's made me focus my narrative on what is important.
07:35Keeping children safe from child beaters, Ian.
07:38Can we just please drop this vendetta, yeah?
07:42Elaine was only defending her grandson.
07:43She went for my son.
07:45Dad, who's side are you on?
07:46Lauren, we've been so focused on Jimmy, yeah, Louis felt neglected, so he took it out on Ollie.
07:51Can't blame Linda or Elaine for gunning for him.
07:54All right.
07:57Elaine would be a rubbish councillor.
07:58Oh, shut up, Ian. Who cares, anyway?
08:01We're just trying to lead by example, yeah?
08:04Lead by example?
08:06Who are you and what you've done with my dad?
08:08Listen, you're always having a go at me, aren't you?
08:10Just step up, be a better dad.
08:11No, you just want to get in Linda's pants.
08:13I knew it. I knew I was right.
08:14Don't be disgusting.
08:16Well, what is it, then?
08:19Yeah, I've got feelings for her.
08:22I don't know, Lauren, yeah, she might be the one.
08:25Right.
08:26I'm going to be back at lunchtime to talk about this, all right?
08:28Until then, just don't do anything stupid.
08:33Where's the hummus?
08:44Hot tray coming through.
08:47Jasmine.
08:49I am working, yeah?
08:51Take a break.
08:52This is important.
08:53My job is important, okay?
08:55I've got rent to pay.
08:56Look, you've got family in Walford.
08:57We'll look after you.
08:58Yeah, no thanks.
08:59I tried that.
09:00It didn't work.
09:00I moved on.
09:01Why did you run away?
09:02Why didn't you go to the police like you said you would?
09:04I told you I'm working.
09:05Zoe's in prison for a murder she didn't commit.
09:08You said you were going to tell the police it was Chrissy.
09:10Do you not think it was her anymore?
09:11Yes.
09:11Right, then come back with me, yeah?
09:13Just long enough to get Chrissy behind bars and Zoe out of there.
09:16No.
09:17Leave me alone now.
09:23Oh, Mo.
09:24Let me take your lingerie shopping.
09:26Being old doesn't mean you have to wear grey pants.
09:28Do you want to smack in the chops or what?
09:30Come on, Mo.
09:30I'll help you hang these out.
09:32Yeah.
09:40Damsels in distress.
09:42Being saved by Prince Charming.
09:44How progressive.
09:45Oh, shut up.
09:48My mum used to read this to me when I was a little girl.
09:51You're telling me the woman that had me terrorised inside
09:54used to sit on her mummy's knee reading about princesses?
09:59What's up with you?
10:01Let me give you a bit of my dad's advice.
10:04Life's a bitch and then you die.
10:10I was at the hospital this morning.
10:13Getting my breast cancer results.
10:17What's up, Mo?
10:18No gags about me fingering your undercrackers?
10:22What are you doing with Lady Mac?
10:25A nice chap like you.
10:26I know there's no love lost between you lot.
10:29She's served her time and she always comes back fighting.
10:32Why do you care anyway?
10:34Because you're family.
10:35You can come and live with us.
10:37Be an uncle to half his boys.
10:40It's tempting.
10:41But after the last few days, I think...
10:43No.
10:44I know.
10:46My future's with Chrissy.
10:48You're mental.
10:49Being tempted by some bird's knickers.
10:52Well, I'm glad they're not mine.
10:55No evidence of residual malignancy.
10:58Lymph nodes.
11:00Clear of metastatic disease.
11:03That means you're cancer-free.
11:05You're only from a mastectomy.
11:07Yeah.
11:09Yeah.
11:11My mom had her breasts removed, you know, when she had cancer before.
11:16Today's the first time in years that I could really do with a cuddle from her.
11:21You're stuck with me.
11:22Sorry.
11:24I've still got a complete course of radiotherapy, but they've said that I can do that in Spain.
11:29I'm going home at the end of the week.
11:34I'm happy for you.
11:36Genuinely.
11:37And the little girl got to live happily ever after.
11:40Hmm.
11:41You know, and this whole Xena warrior princess act that you've got going on.
11:45You should drop it.
11:47I mean, if Jake is really your Prince Charming, just admit it.
11:52Yeah.
11:53He's everything I ever dreamed of.
12:00Can I see you later, yeah?
12:04You're still here, are you?
12:06I don't know what your adoptive family are like, but the Slaters don't give up on each other that easily.
12:10No, you're more like a pack of hyenas ripping each other to shreds.
12:13How do you work that out?
12:14You drive each other mad.
12:17Mad enough for Zoe to run away from a rumor that her child had died without even bothering to ask
12:21for a receipt.
12:22If you cared for Zoe that much, you would help me put Chrissy behind bars.
12:25I don't care.
12:26What about you and Oscar?
12:29What about your other family?
12:30Patrick is burying his son today, your dad.
12:33Patrick only knows me.
12:35You're his granddaughter.
12:36You're his blood.
12:38He needs you by his side.
12:40Jasmine, it's okay to be overwhelmed.
12:42You found and lost your mom and dad in a really bad way.
12:45If you don't want to do this for me, then do it for Zoe.
12:48Right?
12:49Do it for your granddad.
12:51Give him some hope on the worst day of his life.
13:01Cup of tea, love.
13:03I can't remember the last time you made me a cup of tea.
13:06It's because you never sit still long enough to drink it now.
13:09Do you know what my mum used to say?
13:10You've got ants in your pants.
13:12In recovery, we call it restless, irritable and discontent.
13:17Yeah, but I'm not an alcoholic, am I?
13:19No, I never said you was, but we do have more in common than just our DNA, Dad.
13:25And you said it yourself at my wedding, didn't you?
13:28Always chasing the next high.
13:31No, Linda's not a cheap thrower.
13:35I don't know.
13:35Honestly, I think she might be the one.
13:39What about Stacey?
13:41Or Mum?
13:43Or the next poor cow you lock eyes with when you're taking the bins out?
13:46Yeah, myself.
13:49I was in love with Linda, wasn't I?
13:50I was together before.
13:53We was going to run away together.
13:55Make a new life.
13:57Yeah, but she was married to Mick, Dad.
14:01So it was.
14:02It was dangerous and secretive.
14:05That wasn't real.
14:06No, of course it was.
14:08It was real, Lauren.
14:09I know how I felt.
14:11I wasn't sure if I was going to have the same feelings coming back,
14:14but then found out about Annie.
14:16Don't know, all the feelings are still there, aren't they?
14:20We've still got a connection.
14:23If anything, strong in her.
14:27Do you love her?
14:30I don't know.
14:34Yeah, I don't know.
14:35Maybe, yeah.
14:37I just think we owe it to Annie, you know?
14:39Just to give it a go.
14:41Well, I owe it to Linda to say this, then.
14:44The year before last,
14:47she nearly killed herself with the most humiliating suicide mission that I've ever seen in my life.
14:53It was really awful.
14:56But she's sober.
14:58She's clawed her life back, and even better now.
15:01Well, she's a strong woman, isn't she?
15:03But she doesn't have any more chances.
15:06People like us, when we fall off the wagon, it's not just a couple of Proseccos with the girls.
15:12It's downing a gallon of vodka and falling down the stairs.
15:17And if you do have feelings for Linda, then I think that you should tell her.
15:23But if there is any doubt in your head, then I think you should stay clear.
15:30Linda won't survive another emotional battery.
15:34When did you get so wise?
15:37I don't know.
15:38It's not hereditary, is it?
15:59Sorry for your loss.
16:01Time's a great healer.
16:02Yeah, she's right.
16:04Almost a year since we all lost Martin.
16:06You know, I still miss him like mad,
16:07but now I couldn't look back at the memories without it hurting too much.
16:10Oh, thank you for putting on this lovely spread.
16:15Pleasure.
16:15I'll get you a drink, yeah?
16:28Where the hell is Kat?
16:30I don't know.
16:31Might as well get a drink while we wait.
16:32No.
16:34Patrick don't need any driver today.
16:37Chrissie, Jake, upstairs.
16:51If Kat isn't back soon, I'm going to find Jasmine myself.
16:55You know who she is.
16:56Er, who are you?
16:58Er, Oscar.
17:02Jasmine's ex-boyfriend.
17:05Oh.
17:05Hi, Camden Pease.
17:07Give him his big moment.
17:11I was just curious to meet the woman that's got everyone shivering in the shadows.
17:15I was expecting Thanos, yeah?
17:18I don't know what that means, but I'll take it as a compliment.
17:21Yeah.
17:21I wasn't expecting the real housewives of Walford.
17:24What are you going to do, stab me with a nail file?
17:26No.
17:26Nail files always snap on the way through the windpipe.
17:29What's eight times six, Oscar?
17:31What, um, eight into...
17:33Yeah, come on.
17:34Hurry.
17:35Okay, what's your point?
17:36My point is, appearances can be deceptive.
17:38But alas, not in your case.
17:40You're as thick as you look.
17:42You're just a bully.
17:44That's how you broke Jasmine's spirit.
17:45She wanted to reconnect with her family, brainwashed them to hurt people.
17:49The only person brainwashed is you.
17:52Jasmine plays the doe-eyed orphan really well, but she's a stone-cold killer.
17:58She murdered Anthony Truman.
18:00There.
18:02That's a lie.
18:04Oh, go away, little boy.
18:06Jasmine's not a killer.
18:08She's not you.
18:09Come on, mate.
18:10Before you regret it.
18:15She's not a killer.
18:24She's not a killer.
18:26She's not a killer.
18:26She's not a killer.
18:28She's not a killer.
18:31She's not a killer.
18:37Patrick, people are asking if you want to say a few, Jasmine.
18:39No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
18:41I want to go home now.
18:42All right.
18:42I'll get you a bottle.
18:43Thanks.
18:50May I join you?
18:51Yeah, of course.
18:52Thanks.
18:53Thanks.
18:56Um, I know we don't know each other that well, but I just wanted to say I, I know what
19:01it
19:02feels like to lose a child.
19:04I've lost two, actually.
19:05Well, well, that makes you both of us then.
19:09I lost Mel, this son, Paul, 21 years ago.
19:14Yeah.
19:15And now, Anthony?
19:19We're both members of a very small but unfortunate club.
19:25Yeah.
19:26Yeah.
19:27People here, they've been very kind.
19:30They say time is a great healer.
19:32They've, they've told me that about 50 times today, you know.
19:36Hm.
19:37Yeah.
19:38Can I tell you a secret?
19:39What?
19:40I don't want to heal.
19:43Grief's the only thing I've got left of my babies.
19:46Yeah.
19:47Well, I don't want to stop feeling like this in, in case I forget my sons and them.
19:53See?
19:54Hm.
19:57When I'm alone, I talk to my grief.
20:01Hm?
20:02Sometimes I shout it.
20:04Make it your friend or make it your enemy, but don't let anyone tell you to let it go.
20:11It's none of their business if they're not in our club.
20:21Ready?
20:23No.
20:25I want to say a few words.
20:29Ah!
20:33Um, ladies and gentlemen, I, I want to say something.
20:42My son, Anthony?
20:44Hm.
20:45The doctor.
20:47Yes, he was my pride and joy.
20:52And it breaks my heart that I didn't get the chance to tell him that when he was alive.
20:59I know that he gone.
21:01I can't do this.
21:02Yes, you can.
21:03Jasmine!
21:06Hi.
21:16I'm sorry I ran away.
21:19I'm, I'm just going to put my stuff down once again.
21:30She's still upstairs?
21:31Yeah.
21:32But she's running out of patience.
21:38Can I borrow her a minute?
21:40Yeah, but don't be longing.
21:42No, I'm here to see Patrick.
21:44Upstairs.
21:45Please.
21:54Why are you kidding me?
21:55Why are you hurting me?
21:57Why'd you bring me back here?
21:58Oi.
22:00You lied to me.
22:00You killed Anthony and you blamed it on me.
22:03Because you did it.
22:04You were in my head for months.
22:06I'm not taking the blame for murder.
22:07You tell her the truth.
22:08No!
22:09Patrick!
22:09Get off her!
22:10Tell her downstairs.
22:11Tell her the truth.
22:12No!
22:12Not while you're fretting her.
22:17You tricked me.
22:18I had to.
22:20Jasmine, I need to know the truth.
22:24We need more flamingos in here.
22:26You can tell her that.
22:31So, a lie can travel the world before the truth has even got her heels on.
22:37What?
22:38There I was at the butcher's.
22:39I'm a nice bit of gammon.
22:40But they refused to serve me.
22:41Because apparently, I've been questioned about accosting a child.
22:45Oh, Mum.
22:46We can sue him for slander, Gran.
22:48No, it's Ian Bloomin' Beal.
22:50I'll sue him and then I'll kill him.
22:52I know you've had a rough few days, but this ongoing row with Ian, it's gotta stop.
22:57What, and let him get away with all this?
22:58I just think you should take a breath before you make the wrong decision.
23:02Oh, well.
23:03Thanks for the support.
23:07Mum.
23:09Don't be so hard on her.
23:11Ian was bang out of order reporting her like that.
23:12Oh, it's a grudge match.
23:14You know, they're as bad as each other.
23:17She gets an idea in her head and won't let it go and then wonders why it ends in tears.
23:21Okay, well...
23:22Look, do you want me to talk to Ian?
23:24Oh, there's no need.
23:25No.
23:26Super Max is flying to the rescue.
23:28But there'll be some hidden agenda.
23:30There are two things I don't trust about Max.
23:32Everything he says and everything he does.
23:34Oh.
23:35She just gets an idea in her head and she won't let it go and then she wonders why it
23:39all ends in tears.
23:39Oh.
23:40I'm turning into a...
23:42Mum.
23:43Annie deserves a mum and a dad who get on.
23:45So just drop this grudge and give Max a chance.
23:49I did.
23:50I did.
23:51I tried.
23:52And then he lived down to my expectations yet again.
23:54God, I can't believe I'm back here.
23:56Well, then just make it clear that you just want to be friends.
23:59Mum, men are better at understanding boundaries these days.
24:02Hmm.
24:02There's men.
24:03And then there's Max Branning.
24:10You say this family is like a pack of hyenas ripping each other to shreds.
24:16You haven't been around long enough to see the other side of us.
24:20We laugh so hard our ribs hurt.
24:24The slate a cackle.
24:26Yeah, a pack of hyenas I suppose.
24:30And we fight till the death for the people that we love.
24:35And that's why I can't see Zoe go down for a murder she didn't commit.
24:41Jasmine, whatever happens at Christmas, yeah?
24:44Turn with the truth and I promise I won't grass you up.
24:47I'll let Chrissie go down for it.
24:52Zoe would rather spend the rest of her life in prison
24:55than to trade places with you.
24:58Because she wouldn't want to ruin your life a second time.
25:02Because she loves you so much.
25:05So please just tell me the truth
25:08and I promise I'll keep you out of prison.
25:15If you don't tell me the truth I can't protect you, alright?
25:20You will waste your life on the run
25:22and Zoe will be locked up for decades.
25:27I know you want a family and a boyfriend and a normal life
25:30and that's what you deserve.
25:31And you can have all that if you just tell me the truth.
25:36Please, Jasmine.
25:39Did you kill Anthony?
25:46Yes.
25:46Yes.
25:54Thank you very much.
25:54Yes.
