00:26It was you.
00:28I didn't mean to kill him.
00:29You did it. You killed Anthony. Why would you do that?
00:32I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry.
00:34I don't know what it's been like for me.
00:35I can't go to prison.
00:36Now Zoe's rotting in a cell for something that you did
00:39and she's scared for her life.
00:40You said you weren't going to grass me up.
00:42I'll run away again. I'll run away and you're never going to find me.
00:44Why did you say it was Chrissie when it wasn't?
00:45Because she deserves everything that she gets.
00:49I just wanted to find my mum.
00:51Oh, Jasmine, come here, darling. Come here.
00:54Listen, listen to me. I promise I won't grass you up, all right?
00:56Zoe doesn't want to see you behind bars.
00:58I just want to get her out of there.
01:00How?
01:01I don't know.
01:02You wanted me to confess. You said you were going to protect me.
01:05This is too much for me to take in.
01:08All right. Come and sit down. Sit down.
01:13Right. Tell me exactly what happened.
01:17I came here.
01:18I came here to tell Zoe that I was her daughter
01:22and then I saw Anthony standing over her body.
01:26Like, she was lying on the floor and he was so angry.
01:31My poor girl.
01:32I didn't know...
01:33He didn't know I was here.
01:35So I took my phone out and I started filming him.
01:40I thought he was going to hit her again.
01:41It was horrible.
01:43Did you help her?
01:44No.
01:45Because he saw me.
01:47And when he saw me, he came at me.
01:48And so I ran into the kitchen
01:50and I grabbed the salt lamp thing
01:52and I hit him on the head with it.
01:54And then when he fell on the floor...
01:57When he fell on the floor, I knew what I'd done.
01:59I knew I'd killed him.
02:00It was self-defence.
02:02We can get the lamp.
02:03We can get the lamp and then we can plot it on Chrissie
02:05because you said you'd let her take the blame for this, right?
02:07I don't know.
02:07She said you'd slow down.
02:09What do you mean you have to help me?
02:10You must have been so scared.
02:12Yeah, that's why I ran away.
02:14I must have missed you by seconds.
02:15I came up, found Zoe unconscious.
02:18She woke up with C. Anthony dead.
02:20She thought she'd killed him.
02:24I couldn't have planned it if I tried.
02:25I mean, I didn't mean for this to happen.
02:27Oh, I know.
02:28If anyone's to blame you, it's Anthony for attacking Zoe.
02:30Yeah, you would have killed her.
02:32You would have killed her if I didn't stop him.
02:35Oh, come on.
02:36I know.
02:36I know, darling.
02:38Thank you, my darling.
02:44Hey, all right.
02:45Um, Louis, what's to say?
02:47Sorry.
02:48Can I show him in?
02:50Ollie, do you want to see Louis?
02:53All right, bring him in.
02:59I'm very sorry for being horrible.
03:02I mean it this time.
03:03I'm ashamed I treated you like that.
03:07I accept your apology.
03:09Good boy.
03:11I'm sorry to you too, Mrs. Cartel.
03:18If you've hurt him again, I'll call the police, okay?
03:23Why don't you sit with Ollie and Annie
03:25while I have a quick chat with your granddad?
03:27Well, don't we.
03:33It's all right.
03:35I've had word with Bill as well, so it won't give your mum any more grief.
03:40Look, just like that, it's all forgotten.
03:43Kids don't bear grudges, do they?
03:47Um, do you fancy having a drink this evening?
03:51What, just you and me?
03:53No, you, me, mum and Ian.
03:55Of course, just you and me.
03:57We owe it to Annie to be the parent she deserves.
04:00Uh, yeah.
04:01Yeah, sounds lovely.
04:03Good.
04:14Any news?
04:16She's up there alone with Cat at this moment.
04:19Cat's a fool to be left alone with her.
04:22I'm going up.
04:22Stay here.
04:24You're here to clear your name, not get a new charge of GBH.
04:30Vicky.
04:32Chrissy.
04:34I haven't seen you since you killed my dad and buried him in the barrel store.
04:38How do you keep him?
04:39I'll serve my time.
04:41Yeah, well, Sharon might have forgiven you.
04:43I haven't.
04:44I thought you'd see, er, survivors of abusive men
04:47be punished for the rest of their lives, would you?
04:50My dad is not here to defend himself!
04:52I get it.
04:53It might be the same if someone killed my dad.
04:56Then my dad wasn't anything like Den was.
05:00We were a team, you and me.
05:01No.
05:03No.
05:04I'm not going to apologise for defending me and my friends
05:08from a man who was trying to kill us all.
05:12Whatever.
05:14Look, this has been lovely, but, er,
05:17I think I'll have more fun at the wake.
05:20I'll join you.
05:27Come on, Kat.
05:31Hey, hey, hey, Sam.
05:33Have you seen Jasmine?
05:34Kat said she'd only take a minute.
05:36Er, I reckon it's to do with Zoe's trial.
05:39Why?
05:39Do you know something we don't?
05:40I can't have that one Jasmine here with me, man.
05:44Yeah, I know, Pops.
05:46Just give him a minute and she'll be back now, yeah?
05:55You all right there, Granny?
05:57Are we going on a date or are we joining the Thursday Murder Club?
05:59It's not a date.
06:01This is two platonic co-parents having a drink
06:04to talk about being platonic co-parents.
06:07Yeah, no, you're right.
06:07I shouldn't tease.
06:09I'm tough for Annie, though.
06:10Mm.
06:10Tease away.
06:11I am taking my lead from my gorgeous son,
06:13who shows me how to live with humility and optimism every day.
06:16No, Mum.
06:17Talking about Ollie.
06:18Oh, the cheek of it.
06:20I thank you for the nudge.
06:22Now, Annie deserves a mum and dad who get along.
06:24I need to make some sort of effort with Max.
06:27And who says a man and a woman can't just be friends?
06:34Come on!
06:35All back!
06:36Reconnite this.
06:37Come on!
06:38All back!
06:39Are you all right?
06:41Oh, look at those.
06:42Thank you, Trudy.
06:43You're all right.
06:44Linda's going to love those.
06:45Great job.
06:46Keep the change.
06:47Take care.
06:56I understand why you didn't go to the police.
06:58You thought you murdered Anthony, but it was self-defense.
07:01Yeah, but isn't that still a life sentence?
07:02You've got it on video.
07:03It changes everything.
07:06I'm not risking it.
07:07I don't want to spend the rest of my life in jail.
07:09Oh, and so he does.
07:12But...
07:12But what?
07:13You're happy with her going down for your crime.
07:15No.
07:16So you was going to confess at some point?
07:17Yes.
07:18When?
07:19Eh?
07:20Before or after she'd been sent down for life?
07:22I didn't have a plan, all right?
07:23I panicked.
07:24I didn't have time to think.
07:26I haven't been able to think straight since it happened.
07:27Okay.
07:28You ran away from Anthony and Zoe.
07:31I do get that.
07:32Yeah.
07:33But then you came back an hour later to tell Zoe that you're her daughter.
07:40You looked Zoe in the eyes and you ripped her heart out, blaming her for abandoning you and your brother
07:45in hospital.
07:46So?
07:47But you didn't let on that you knew Anthony's body was upstairs.
07:50I panicked.
07:51You keep saying you panicked, but the girl that sat in front of me and Zoe, she wasn't panicking.
07:55She was cold and clear-headed.
07:58You tortured Zoe, right, for abandoning you when you knew she was already messed up about Anthony.
08:03It all happened so fast, I didn't have time to think, okay?
08:07Kidding Anthony was an accident.
08:09Yeah, I know.
08:10It got out of control.
08:12But you coming back to the scene of the crime an hour later, that was your choice.
08:17You chose to turn the screw on Zoe, knowing that she was going through the worst moment of her life.
08:22It wasn't like that.
08:23Was this little orphan jazzy sob story, was it a performance?
08:26No!
08:28You tormented Zoe for months.
08:30You scared the life out of her.
08:31I told you that was Chrissie's idea, okay?
08:34She manipulated me.
08:35How can I believe a word you say now?
08:38Huh?
08:39Earlier?
08:39Earlier you thanked me for saving Zoe's life.
08:43Now, what?
08:45Do you think I'm some kind of monster?
08:47The answer's obvious, isn't it?
08:49What are you going to do with her?
08:57Oh, thank you.
08:58But my birthday was actually last week.
09:01Okay.
09:02Nice try.
09:04Right.
09:05So, um, sorry, what are we actually waiting for?
09:07Look, can we just wait for George to arrive, please?
09:09Yeah?
09:11Gee.
09:12I'm so sorry.
09:13I forgot your birthday.
09:14Yeah, you did.
09:16Don't worry.
09:17You did miss a good night, though.
09:18I bet.
09:20Yeah, nice.
09:23Yeah.
09:24These are lots, both of us.
09:55Oh, darling.
09:55Can I buy them, please?
09:56All right.
09:56So, excuse me.
09:58There you go.
10:00Oh, yeah.
10:01Yeah.
10:04Nicola and I would like to announce that we are expecting...
10:09Woo-hoo!
10:11Woo-hoo!
10:12A go!
10:13Ha-ha!
10:14Congratulations!
10:15Oh, another baby sister!
10:18Oh, Anna's going to be really happy.
10:20You hear that, Vaughn?
10:21Baby sister?
10:22Yeah.
10:23I'm happy for you.
10:24Thanks, mate.
10:26Um, is he all right?
10:28Yeah.
10:29Yeah, it's progress.
10:30Come here.
10:31Oh, little girl, eh?
10:33Yeah.
10:34It's starting to feel real, isn't it?
10:35I know.
10:37So, er...
10:38Is there anything else you want to tell us?
10:41Er, no.
10:42That's it.
10:43No?
10:45Because if you two are going to be more than, you know, co-parents to this kid...
10:50Could you just tell my dad first, please?
10:51Something to tell him, Harry.
10:54Could you just stop filming, Kojo?
10:56Yeah.
10:57Right, well, I guess the big question is...
11:00Oh, thank you.
11:01Erm, what are we going to call her?
11:03Yeah.
11:04What about Ali?
11:06Short for Alison.
11:07Ali?
11:08Yeah, that's short for Alison.
11:09It's nothing to do with Muhammad Ali.
11:11What?
11:13Don't joke.
11:20Hey.
11:21You all right?
11:25Look at you.
11:26Huh?
11:27You made me feel like a right scruffy cow.
11:29And a tie.
11:29Nice.
11:30Special occasion, isn't it?
11:32Yeah.
11:35Got you these.
11:36Oh.
11:37Oh, wow.
11:38Got you.
11:39Shh, shh, shh.
11:40Ah, yeah.
11:41You really...
11:41Er, see.
11:43Right.
11:44A little drink?
11:45What do you want?
11:46Something softer?
11:46Erm, I'm fine with water.
11:48I can't get a box parking.
11:49What's tap, tap's mine?
11:51Tap water.
11:52Yeah.
11:54No, just that one.
11:56Yeah?
11:56She didn't kill him.
11:58You don't believe that.
11:59She told me where she was when it happened, and I believe her.
12:03You lying little...
12:04Don't!
12:05It's time to get her little bill!
12:07Chrissie, don't!
12:07Don't!
12:08You're still on parole.
12:13Well, it's time to go.
12:14I thought you wanted to clear your name.
12:16Well, that's clearly not going to happen.
12:18Blood is thicker than water.
12:19It ain't like that.
12:20She did not kill him.
12:22You are on borrowed time.
12:24Get lost.
12:25I wish I'd never met you.
12:26Oh, the feeling's mutual, sweetheart.
12:29Say bye to Alfie, right?
12:31If you and the boys ever need me, just give me a call, yeah?
12:33Yeah, cheers.
12:34You're going to need more than Uncle Jake to protect those boys with her around.
12:37Zoe's inside.
12:38She's going to poison your family from the inside out.
12:41Bye, Chrissie.
12:50So, Annie's sat on a loo in the B&B, and she calls out,
12:53I'm finished!
12:55And then she asks one of the guests to come and wipe her bum.
12:59That's a classic.
12:59Yeah.
13:00I said to Mum, they'd better not put that on TripAdvisor.
13:05I was thinking, um,
13:07that maybe you could pick up Annie from nursery on Tuesdays and...
13:12Shh, shh, shh, shh.
13:12Listen to me.
13:13You've got to be nervous, all right?
13:15No, no, no, no, no, no.
13:17What are you doing?
13:19Why not?
13:20Because I don't want to.
13:23Why?
13:26I thought I made it clear that we were here to talk about Annie, you know, co-parenting.
13:30Yeah, but you ain't talked about anything else.
13:33As friends, though.
13:34Yeah, but that's how the best relationship starts, hasn't it?
13:37I've spent ages listening to you talking about bum wiping.
13:39I mean, if that ain't a friend, I don't know what is.
13:42Don't you care about your own daughter?
13:43Yeah, of course I do.
13:49I'm sorry.
13:53Max.
13:55Do you know what it took for me to kiss you last week?
14:00I don't go on dates.
14:01I don't kiss men.
14:04There's been no love in my life since Mick died.
14:06Yeah, I know that.
14:07So why did you ruin it by lying?
14:10I didn't lie, didn't I?
14:12It's just a bit slow telling the truth, baby.
14:17I don't want us to fall out, all right?
14:18I want you to be part of Annie's life.
14:21But I need to be absolutely clear.
14:23There will never, ever be an us.
14:27I can't risk it for me or Annie.
14:38I have some news too, but I don't have a balloon to pop.
14:42Well, OK, mate, what is it?
14:43My old flat is available.
14:45I'll move it back to number 89C.
14:49Hey, Kojo, I know you want your independence,
14:52but I don't think that's a good idea.
14:54I don't think that's right.
14:55Yeah, mate, nothing but bad things happen there.
14:57Yeah, it's full of ghosts.
14:58I don't believe in ghosts.
15:00No, no, it's a saying, Kojo.
15:02It means that bad things happen there.
15:04Stop it.
15:05You're wrong, Kwame.
15:06I don't want to give up on my independence.
15:09Well, I get that, but I could find you a new flat.
15:13I don't want a new flat.
15:15I want my old flat.
15:16I know which floorboard creaks.
15:18I know how long to run the tap before the water gets hot.
15:21It's my decision.
15:23I'm moving back.
15:24Kojo, mate.
15:29Gina.
15:32Happy birthday.
15:37Go on.
15:38Thank you for defending me.
15:40I didn't tell Chrissie because I want to keep it contained,
15:43but I ain't a mug.
15:45I never said you were.
15:46Where's that video you took?
15:47I mean, take it to the police.
15:48Why can't we frame Chrissie?
15:49It was self-defence.
15:51We don't need to.
15:51You said you wanted me to be a part of your family.
15:54Why run the risk of going to trial?
15:56Just show me the phone.
15:57I told you, I'm on your side.
16:00I think my bags don't sleep.
16:02Go get it.
16:04Listen, don't hate me for this, but I'm not letting you out my sight.
16:10Jasmine's out of control.
16:12She'll get what she deserves soon enough.
16:14I don't care about her.
16:17Little people, little houses, little broken dreams.
16:22Let's go home now.
16:24Together.
16:25Why?
16:27What's changed?
16:28You and I, we're great.
16:31We're on the same team fighting a war.
16:32But in real life, we're not good.
16:35Don't we deserve another chance?
16:36I thought so.
16:3819 years.
16:39We set up a business.
16:40We got a home together.
16:42And then you went and conspired to get me arrested for a murder I didn't commit.
16:46Not trusting you was the biggest mistake of my life.
16:51Second biggest, Jake.
16:54You murdered your own brother.
16:57Why would you say that?
17:00I never wanted to come back here, Jake.
17:03You tricked me into it.
17:04That really hurts.
17:06And I intend to make it up to you.
17:09How?
17:09I've got to see Phil first.
17:12Phil?
17:13Go and get yourself a drink.
17:15I'll be an hour.
17:16Tops.
17:22God.
17:33Where is it?
17:34I don't know.
17:37Charlie, has anyone handed a bag in?
17:39What colour?
17:40What colour is it?
17:41Black.
17:41Black.
17:42No, sorry.
17:51Oscar, Oscar, have you seen my bag?
17:53It's got my phone in it.
17:54That's all I get.
17:56You sent a text and led it.
17:59What have you done you couldn't say to my face?
18:01That was not a good time, Pete.
18:04Trace, bring the bill for us.
18:07Has anyone seen a black bag?
18:09Is that it?
18:11No, that's mine and it's dark navy.
18:13It goes in my coat.
18:13It sure looks black.
18:14I'd say that's midnight blue.
18:16Siobhan the Bond in the high street said it's dark navy.
18:18She knows my coat.
18:19Look, please, can you just lock this black handbag?
18:21It's really important.
18:25Jasmine!
18:31Jasmine!
18:33Jasmine!
18:45I, er, think you left this at the bar.
18:47Oh, thanks.
18:48Most of drag queens round here couldn't afford anything so tasteful.
18:51Well, we're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
18:54Oh, Oscar Wilde.
18:56What was that famous other quote?
18:58Do you like his work too?
19:00Not as much as I like proving I'm not a dumb blonde.
19:04I'm Chrissie Watts.
19:05Oh, Watts.
19:08Any relation to Sharon?
19:09Yeah, through marriage.
19:11Are you friends with her?
19:12No, not really.
19:13I ran off with her bloke about 200 years ago.
19:16I'll begrudge that one.
19:17Doesn't she just?
19:19I'm Cindy.
19:20Cindy Beale.
19:21Be...
19:22Neil.
19:23You related to Ian?
19:25By marriage.
19:26Unfortunately.
19:29So what brings you to my glorious establishment?
19:32I'm, um...
19:33I'm arranging a surprise for someone.
19:35Oh, right.
19:36Well, if you want shampoos, party poppers, just give me a shower.
19:42Oh, I remember that quote.
19:44True friends, they stab him in the front.
19:48I like that one.
19:57So you didn't catch her then?
19:59How do you see her sitting here?
20:00Don't start on me.
20:02Sorry, Nan, but...
20:02That little witch has been mugging me right off.
20:05She told me she had a video on her phone proving that she killed Anthony in self-defence,
20:08but she lied to me.
20:09She lied just to get away from me.
20:11So Zoe's still being done?
20:12Yeah, and looking at her life sentence.
20:15All this for nothing.
20:16I can't believe I'm saying this, but you should have listened to Chrissie from the start.
20:19After what she did to Zoe over den, it was like trusting a cobra not to bite me.
20:26Let her down.
20:27She needs me the most.
20:29Call old Bill now.
20:31Get them out looking for Jasmine.
20:33No, Zoe wouldn't want that.
20:34If she knew that Jasmine killed him, she'd confess to the murder just to protect her.
20:38Oh, what, and doing a life stretch is going to make up for abandoning her?
20:41I can't believe what I'm hearing here.
20:43Jasmine, that little kid, is running rings around the entire Slater family,
20:47and what, and you're just sitting here letting her get further away?
20:50What else can I do?
20:51Kat, you've got to do the right thing for your family and for the Trumans.
20:57You've got to fight fire with fire.
21:04Her granddaughter couldn't bear to spend two minutes with me at her own father's week.
21:11I'm sorry.
21:12You're going to learn?
21:14Weeks are full of singing and music.
21:16It's a celebration of life, family, and hope.
21:21There isn't a shred of hope in my heart, Dilly.
21:38That's your drink.
21:39Won't be a minute, Dad.
21:43Many rivers to cross, but I can't seem to find my way over.
21:59Wondering out of love, as I travel along,
22:08while that cliff's tucked over.
22:13Many rivers to cross, and it's only my will
22:26Well done.
22:28It's a good thing you've done me.
22:29Yeah.
22:32Can you explain a moment to me, Dad?
22:34Because I get really confused.
22:36Yeah.
22:37No.
22:38You and me both.
22:43I'm sorry.
22:45You're coming back.
22:49I thought you'd scarpered.
22:54I nearly did.
22:55I've gone and lost the phone with all of the evidence that this was self-defence,
22:59as if it ever existed.
23:01Why'd you come back anyway?
23:02Because you're right.
23:04I don't want to spend my life running away.
23:06I owe it to Zoe.
23:09But, look, we don't need my phone anymore.
23:12Okay, because I went to get this.
23:15Just to let me, you.
23:18We can wipe my prints off of this,
23:19and then we can plant it on Chrissie,
23:21and we can prove that this was her.
23:25I thought you'd be happier.
23:26We're going to get Zoe back.
23:27I thought you'd be happier.
23:28We're going to get Zoe back.
23:39You took your time.
23:44Who are you calling?
23:45The police.
23:47I'm going to report you for killing Danny.
23:49Why?
23:51Because I want you to feel as betrayed as I do.
23:54But at least I'm doing it to your face.
23:55That's what real friends do.
23:57Chrissie.
23:57Chrissie, don't do this.
23:59He was my brother.
24:01It was an accident, all right?
24:02It was the worst moment of my life.
24:04I don't care.
24:05Yes.
24:06Yes, you do care.
24:07You love me, and we love each other.
24:10What are you doing?
24:11Chrissie Watts.
24:15Will you marry me?
24:18Are you mad?
24:19You just betrayed me.
24:21No.
24:22I was protecting my family.
24:24I was your family.
24:25And you still are.
24:27Look, I'm sorry I hurt you.
24:29I'm sorry I broke your trust.
24:31You are the only one that matters to me.
24:33Please.
24:35Please, will you marry me?
24:39Chrissie Watts.
24:41I love you too, Jake.
24:44Yeah.
24:45Yeah, I will marry you.
24:56If you didn't call the old Bills, who are they coming for?
25:02Cat or Jasmine must have grossed me up.
25:05Bring it on.
25:06Well, we could just do one.
25:08Carl?
25:09Carl.
25:11Come on.
25:25Come on.
25:39You didn't, I'm sorry. Are they here for me?
25:42There's so many lies. I thought you'd done a runoff. I came back.
25:51Jasmine Fisher. Hey, this is the son's wig.
25:54She's over here. No!
25:56Jasmine Fisher. Yes.
25:57Will you repeat what you told the operator?
25:59She's confessed to killing Anthony Truman.
26:04Do you have a response to these accusations?
26:09Right, Jasmine Fisher, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Anthony Truman.
26:13You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence.
26:15If you do not mention him in question, something you like reliant in court.
26:18And if you do say, he may be given in evidence.
26:22You don't want to preserve us.
26:24Tell me you didn't do it.
26:25There's a video. There's a video that proves what really happened.
26:28It's on my phone in my black bag, okay?
26:30You need to find it and hand it in to the police.
26:32Zoe will never forgive you for this.
26:34I don't care. Zoe, she's praying.
26:35What's happening, Kat?
26:36What's going on? Kat, what's happening?
26:38Kat!
