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