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