00:06Music
00:24Life of a tree peacock is one scandal after another
00:29and watch the rest of Walford go the same way.
00:33Yo! Brickleback man!
00:35Is Mr Mitchell to you?
00:37Have you seen the video in the community group chat?
00:40Savage!
00:41Welcome to Peacock Palace, home to adulterous addicts and some...
00:44All right, baby girl, just get that to the right temperature for you.
00:48Just like your daddy's porridge.
00:50How are you, my little featherweight?
00:52Well, she's been up an hour and she's on the second nappy of the day.
00:55Hey, at least you're eating.
00:58Doing your old man proud.
01:02What are you gonna do about yours?
01:04Yeah, I think my mum would expect me to drop in.
01:07What about Gina?
01:09I ain't gonna lose her over this.
01:10How can you be so short?
01:12This is the last time I'm gonna go up there.
01:15After today, I'll never see Eddie again.
01:18PHONE RINGS
01:19Oh, it's the accountant.
01:22Right, give you girls to it.
01:23See you later.
01:24Tell her.
01:26Kirsty, now ain't a good time.
01:30What?
01:31What are you talking about?
01:34No, no, no, no, no, no. There should be thousands in that account.
01:37Ah, here she is.
01:39Wolford's new counsellor.
01:41Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
01:42I've still got a whole day of canvassing to get through.
01:44How did the debate go yesterday?
01:46Better than I could have dreamed.
01:48Oh, and your idea of a weekly addiction support group got a lot of love,
01:52which is a good thing because Wolford's crying out for it.
01:55Oh, Ian had a right mare.
01:57Partly because I couldn't help myself playing to the crowd.
01:59Oh, go easy on the sympathy. I mean, if the shoe was on the other foot.
02:02He's not as cutthroat as everyone thinks.
02:04Well, I'll take your word for it.
02:06Someone's full of the joys of spring.
02:08Well, you know what they say.
02:10Tis the season of renewal.
02:12Well, whoever has put a spring in your step,
02:14it's lovely to see you back with a smile.
02:16No, actually, it was Grant.
02:18Encouraging me not to give up on Johnny.
02:20Oh, so there are some good ideas in that sickhead of his.
02:23So I am selling my shares in the salon.
02:25What?
02:26If he's going to make a success of his law firm,
02:28then he's going to need all the help he can get.
02:30Oh, that's my girl.
02:32You okay to hold a thought for a bit?
02:34Why, where are you off to?
02:35Well, I'm off to repair a few relationships of my own.
02:38Ta-ra. Ta-ra.
02:41I wish that Dad would just let him rot.
02:45But if he wants to waste his time going up the hospital,
02:48then...
02:49I guess that all that I can do is just...
02:52is just not lose any more sleep over it.
02:55Right?
02:56Yeah.
02:58Well, if you need something to take your mind off it,
03:02I'm sure I could think of something.
03:03Hmm.
03:04Yeah?
03:05Yeah.
03:06Right, is someone going to tell me what the hell is going on?
03:09I've just been told that the business account is in the red.
03:12Where's the money gone?
03:12Harry?
03:13If you...
03:14If you are using again, I...
03:16What?
03:17You really think I'll be that stupid?
03:18Well, the money's gone somewhere.
03:19He's given it to the restaurant.
03:22It's really been struggling, Nicola.
03:24He's just been moving some profits over to help out.
03:28How could you be so stupid?
03:29I was trying to stop us going under.
03:31What else do you want me to do?
03:32Come to me!
03:34This place has got overheads, Harry, that need paying.
03:38And if I don't cough up, then both businesses go under.
03:43We're really sorry.
03:44I just didn't want to worry you.
03:46We know you've got so much going on.
03:54Speaking of which...
03:57What happened at the hospital?
03:59Not much.
04:00Your dad's gone back up there.
04:01He's gone back.
04:02Yet to say goodbye, all right?
04:04He's done with that vile old git.
04:06Look...
04:08Between juggling a newborn baby and dealing with a dying man,
04:12maybe we don't tell him about the restaurant just yet.
04:14OK, but how are we going to fix it?
04:17I don't know.
04:18Leave it to me.
04:20I'll think of something.
04:21Come on, gents!
04:24Come on, gents!
04:24Hi!
04:24Chief Peacock is once again.
04:26After another vote debate.
04:28Peacock!
04:29Oi!
04:30I want to work with you.
04:31It really wasn't my idea.
04:32I want to apologise.
04:34I got a bit carried away at the debate.
04:36I've worked the mob into a bit of a frenzy.
04:40What are they all looking at?
04:42Um...
04:43They're probably open for round two.
04:44Well, they're going to be sadly disappointed.
04:47So, no hard feelings.
04:49No, of course not.
04:50I was thinking it'd be silly to let a little debate spoil all our hard work.
04:55Careful.
04:56People might think you're going softer now.
04:59Well, we've certainly had our differences.
05:02But, like I said yesterday, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship.
05:06Yeah, yeah.
05:07I'd like that.
05:08How about a little celebratory drink tomorrow?
05:12No matter who wins.
05:14It's a date.
05:20Peacock Palace must be Ramo.
05:22She hasn't seen a group chat yet, huh?
05:24God, how do I get the video to be posted down?
05:27Bonkers Beatrice did this.
05:28Yes.
05:29No!
05:31You know, most people have already seen it.
05:33And it was posted anonymously, so no one can prove it was her.
05:36Oscar, please.
05:38Right, bottom line.
05:40She uploaded it.
05:43Only she can delete.
05:45Only she can delete.
05:56Late breakfast or early lunch?
05:59Er, both.
06:00I've got to go. I've got a client to do any minute.
06:02Look, I know you spoke to your gran the other day.
06:05About not wanting to use Tim's money.
06:08I literally told her not to tell you.
06:10She's only trying to help, and so am I.
06:13I'm going to sell my steak in Fox and Hare, and I want you to have it.
06:18That way you never have to touch a penny of his grubby money.
06:21Thanks, but I can't accept that.
06:23I know you're still upset with me, all right?
06:25And I don't expect to wave a magic wand and for everything to come back to normal, but...
06:31But if you're worried about what Callum will say, then...
06:32It isn't about Callum, Mum.
06:33I just want to help get you started.
06:35Yeah, well, last time you interfered, it didn't go too well, did it?
06:38If you really want to help, just let me and Callum get on with our lives.
06:41Johnny, please!
06:41No, Mum! Okay? I have said, leave it.
06:53You ain't eat much.
06:55No point, is there?
06:58We could get some of it in.
07:02Give me that yoghurt, then.
07:07Here you go.
07:19Stop staring.
07:27Okay.
07:28Okay.
07:29Give me a seat here.
07:30I've got it.
07:31I've got it.
07:32All right.
07:36Don't worry.
07:37I've got you.
07:38All right.
07:48Here we go.
07:52There you go.
07:56There you go.
07:59Enjoy your stay.
08:00Lovely.
08:02Right, come on you.
08:03Down tools.
08:04I'm taking you for lunch.
08:05I can't.
08:06Mum's left me on my own.
08:07Okay, I could rustle up my Portuguese speciality.
08:11Arroz de bato.
08:12Can we do this another time?
08:14You okay?
08:15I told you, I've got too much to do.
08:17Have I done something to upset you?
08:19I hate to disappoint you, Grant, but not everything's about you.
08:22Well, whatever it is, I'm here if you wanted to.
08:24What I want is for you to leave me alone.
08:38Good to see business is booming.
08:43Take a seat, shall I?
08:49Oh, I might help myself to a couple of these.
08:55What are you doing?
08:56Typical.
08:58Now she wakes up.
08:59Mm.
09:00Helping yourself to me products, are you?
09:02Well, I'm gonna try my luck.
09:04Seeing as your security's so lax and your staff seems to have gone AWOL.
09:08Where's Josh gone?
09:09I was gonna ask you the same thing.
09:12Oh, I don't know. I must have just...
09:15Nodded off for just a minute there.
09:17Is everything all right?
09:20Yeah.
09:21Yeah, of course. Jack just had me up snoring all night, didn't he?
09:25Go and hang your coat and I'll make a start on your wrist.
09:29No, no, no, no. Come on.
09:31Come on, I'm gonna take you home.
09:32What?
09:34No, I've got this place to run, ain't I?
09:36Oh, like you rushed off your feet. Come on.
09:38Yeah, I've got appointments booked in all afternoon.
09:41Well, look, perfect timing.
09:42Um, Josh, could you cancel all of Denise's appointments this afternoon?
09:46Um, she's got a terrible tummy bug.
09:48Oh. Yeah, of course.
09:50PB and banana on toast. Works every time.
09:55Tough.
09:56Oh.
10:01I suppose I should be grateful I'm ill.
10:05Well, at least it's a few days when I had cooped up in that cold cell.
10:10I suppose you should be there, innit?
10:12You haven't answered me question.
10:15Can you forgive an old man for his sins?
10:19Well, I think it's a bit late for that.
10:24Maybe if we had a bit more time.
10:25We could have more time.
10:28What?
10:29They've offered me compassionate release.
10:32Means I can pass peacefully at home.
10:35Home?
10:36What?
10:38Would you want to move in with us?
10:41Much as I'd like that.
10:43They wouldn't allow it.
10:45Not after you were star witness in me court case.
10:50Have you got a friend or a neighbour?
10:53With a spare room?
10:55It'd only be for a few weeks.
10:58I just need to be close to my boy.
11:03So that's what this is all about, innit?
11:05It's got nothing to do with forgiveness.
11:07It has, I swear.
11:08No.
11:09You just want a roof over your head so you don't have to die in prison alone.
11:12No, George.
11:13You got it all wrong.
11:15I need to tone for what I've done.
11:19You know.
11:21I came here to say that I wouldn't be seeing you again.
11:26And I must got suckered back in again.
11:28I need to mend things with us before me time comes.
11:33Well, you think I would let you anywhere near me or my kids?
11:39No.
11:41You made your bed.
11:42Now you're lying.
11:44I can make it up to you there's still time.
11:49Goodbye, Eddie.
11:50George.
11:51George, don't leave me.
11:54Er...
11:54What?
11:56Now, listen.
11:57Remind me to go through those credit card letters tonight, Billy.
12:01I've thrown you out this morning.
12:03What?
12:04Yeah.
12:04No, I wanted to go through them, Billy.
12:06Find out why they're in my name.
12:07Because I don't have a credit card anymore.
12:10Have you, er...
12:11Have you seen Bea?
12:12No, Ian. We've just sat down.
12:14That video part of your handy work, was it?
12:17My team were looking into it with some urgency.
12:19Yeah, yeah.
12:20Typical politician's answer.
12:21If you do see Bea, tell her that I'm, er, looking for her.
12:24And tell her they'll call me immediately.
12:27Twice this time.
12:28Well, whoever did make it all right up in their shoes when Elaine catches up with them.
12:34Oh, Bea, Ian was just looking for you.
12:36Oh, he probably just wants to go over his acceptance speech for tomorrow night.
12:40No, I don't think it was actually about that.
12:42If he wins.
12:42When he wins.
12:43You know, everything's gonna change.
12:45I mean, it's gonna be quite daunting for me.
12:48Because I guess I'll be Walford's first lady.
12:51Yeah, it's the same, because we probably won't see as much of you now, will we?
12:54Well, you'll be too busy, aren't you, hobnobbing with all the great and the good, so...
12:58Well, yeah, I probably will be expected to do a lot of entertaining, yeah, and hold a lot of soirees.
13:04Oh, so have you got a move-in date for your flat then?
13:07I'm gonna chase that up, definitely up.
13:09Just let me get Ian over the line to victory first.
13:13And don't forget to vote.
13:15Yeah.
13:15You too.
13:17Good.
13:20More crackers than jails.
13:23Billy.
13:24I will have two chocolate muffins, please, Noree.
13:28Actually, let's make it four.
13:31Yeah.
13:35You all right, Billy? No mates.
13:37So come on then.
13:39Who's burst your balloon?
13:41Linda.
13:42Oh, no, you haven't.
13:44No, I haven't done anything.
13:45But you want to.
13:48Honestly, my brother, you ain't even buried your best mate yet,
13:51and already you're trying to get your leg over.
13:53Nigel would want life to carry on.
13:55Yeah, well, instead of chasing Skirk...
13:57It isn't like...
13:59Maybe you should focus on fixing things with your son.
14:03Yeah?
14:08I can't get her teeth in.
14:11You're happy now, are you?
14:13I mean, your mum bends over backwards for you,
14:15but instead of saying thank you,
14:17you just throw it back in her face.
14:20Look, no disrespect, but I don't...
14:22I don't see how this is any of your business, so...
14:24Do you realise just how lucky you are?
14:27Your mum would take on the world to protect you,
14:31but she won't be here forever.
14:33And when she's gone, things will never be the same again.
14:38Take that from somebody that knows.
14:41So...
14:43Stop being selfish.
14:46And do the right thing.
14:49Before it's too late.
14:55I've got stakes in both businesses.
14:58Right?
14:59I need money in that account now.
15:03Kirsty, this is my family's future we're talking about here.
15:07Um, I'll call you back, alright?
15:13Do I have a mug?
15:14A bit across my forehead.
15:15You can kick him down, alright?
15:17Just got her down.
15:19You're going to have to talk to Gina.
15:21In case she knows you went back up there.
15:25You're never going to guess what that old chancer's just asked me.
15:28He wants to move here.
15:30What?
15:31He's got a compassionate release or something.
15:33Which means he can die at home.
15:35Sorry, here?
15:36With us?
15:37No, no.
15:38Not here.
15:38I mean, thank God.
15:39Because of the court case.
15:40But...
15:41He's asked me to ask around to see if anybody would take him in.
15:45Oh, sorry.
15:46I know he's your dad, but...
15:47How could he even ask that of me?
15:49I mean, us.
15:52Look, babe...
15:53I...
15:54Why do I always let him inside my head?
16:01Because...
16:05You...
16:07Are a good man.
16:10And he don't deserve you.
16:13I'm never going to be free of that man.
16:16Never.
16:17A joint party?
16:19Come on, Max.
16:20What are the chances that you and I would share the same birthday?
16:22One in 365.
16:26Snarking from the sidelines?
16:28You want to be careful, Linda.
16:30That bitter spinster look starting to suit you.
16:33Excuse me?
16:33Look, we already know what everyone thinks about us.
16:35It's not bad winning people over.
16:37I just want us to celebrate the fact that...
16:40We've found each other.
16:42Despite everything we've been through.
16:45Oh, that's sweet.
16:46Let's do it.
16:47Great.
16:48The album's booked up, but I've already asked you about Harry's Bond.
16:51I always knew there was a reason we had so much in common.
16:54Yeah.
16:55By the Taureans, strong will, romantic, sensual.
16:59Ain't they supposed to be loyal and trustworthy, Ian?
17:02Diplomacy is a sign of a civilised society.
17:05Ian and I have finally decided to bury the hatchet.
17:07We're going to fight this election in the best of spirits.
17:10Uh, you sure about that?
17:13Yeah, you've seen that video on the group chat.
17:15What video?
17:16I was busy when my phone was on mute.
17:18Multiple failed marriages.
17:19A daughter in and out to breathe.
17:22Life of Jay Peacock is one scam.
17:24Who the hell's done this?
17:26Well, I know. My bet's on.
17:28You couldn't have done this to me.
17:29Mum, this is slander!
17:31This is disgusting!
17:32I'm so sorry they attacked you, too.
17:35You were so happy this morning.
17:36Oh, it's not just that.
17:37A Johnny knocked me back.
17:39Sweetheart.
17:40Well, maybe you should take it as a sign to stop chasing him.
17:43He's my son!
17:44He'll come to you when he's ready.
17:46More importantly, if I can grab life by the watsits
17:49and fight this election with that vile little eel,
17:53you can put your happiness first, too.
17:57OK.
17:59It'd be embarrassing, though, innit?
18:01Crashing out like that.
18:02No.
18:03Well, I guess it's what we've got to expect at our age.
18:05Oi! Excuse me!
18:07Speak for yourself!
18:09No, but you did say, do you remember,
18:11you know, that you've been feeling a little bit tired.
18:14Mm-hm.
18:15Yeah?
18:16So maybe you need to go and book that appointment.
18:18Oh, no.
18:19They're just...they're going to tell me off for wasting time.
18:21No, of course they won't.
18:23Look, look, you're better to be safe than sorry, yeah?
18:25Trust me, look, I should know.
18:27Oh, is it going to stop you nagging?
18:31Fine, if it's going to make you happy.
18:33See?
18:33And I didn't even have to offer you 20 grand to do it.
18:37Look, I'm going to let you get on,
18:40but you promised me that you're going to keep me updated.
18:43Yes!
18:43Yes.
18:44Good.
18:46I'll see you later.
18:47I'll see you.
18:48There you are.
18:50I'll be looking everywhere for you.
18:51Why haven't you returned my calls?
18:52Oh, sweetie.
18:53I've been busy because I've been posting videos.
18:55Yeah, I know.
18:55But we need to take it down.
18:57Uh, why would we do that?
18:58Because it makes me look like a vindictive pig,
19:00and I don't want to win the election like that.
19:02We need to delete it.
19:03Well, it's a bit late for that.
19:04I mean, everyone's seen it.
19:05Well, maybe it was a chance Elaine hasn't.
19:07Too late for that.
19:08Oh.
19:08How dare you attack me online like some nasty little troll.
19:12I can explain.
19:13Oh, no, you've got no proof it was Ian.
19:16It's a completely unfunded allegation.
19:18Oh, please.
19:19I know it was him and you.
19:21How could you be so cruel as to humiliate me like that
19:25and drag my daughter's name through the mud
19:27just because you lost a debate?
19:28Look, people were laughing at me.
19:30Oh, so you thought you'd put her through it then?
19:32Shame on you, Ian Beale.
19:33Just trying to even the score, okay?
19:35I mean, look, and strictly speaking,
19:38I know it was over the top,
19:39but there wasn't anything untrue in that video, okay?
19:42Politics isn't for the faint-hearted.
19:44You need a thick skin.
19:45I was doing you a favour.
19:46Oh, God!
19:48Well, now we are even.
19:50Did you all see that?
19:52A totally unprovoked attack of an election candidate.
19:56Okay, people.
19:57A bit more love and peace here.
19:59Look, I am sorry.
20:01I thought you were a decent man.
20:03And you and I had reached an understanding.
20:06Well, I won't make that mistake again.
20:09Hmm?
20:10Hmm.
20:10Hmm.
20:21Hmm.
20:29Hmm.
20:30Hmm.
20:32Hmm.
20:32Hmm.
20:32Hmm?
20:32Hmm.
20:32You've got no shame?
20:35Have you?
20:37I ain't after no trouble.
20:41Doc say I've only got weeks left.
20:44Yeah? Well, it can't come soon enough.
20:48I just don't want to leave this world on bad terms with me son.
20:54George gave you his answer.
20:59So you stay away from him, and you stay away from my family.
21:06Don't you ever contact us again.
21:13I got money.
21:16My Gloria was good with the savings, and there's my pension as well.
21:22We're talking a low six figures.
21:26She'd have wanted him to have the lot.
21:30Bribe?
21:32Oh, you really are a bottom feeder.
21:35What good is it to me now?
21:38Well, George obviously didn't want it, so...
21:40I never asked him.
21:42I don't want to buy his forgiveness.
21:45I need to earn it.
21:48Think about it.
21:51Please.
21:54Oi, oi!
21:56You had the right idea staying indoors.
22:00It was like the wicked Wild Wild West out here, let me tell you.
22:02So listen, Shalai and Ian had a showdown in front of the whole market.
22:08No.
22:09When I tell you she snapped in halfway into next week.
22:13No.
22:14What for?
22:16Obviously you haven't seen her video.
22:18Total character assassination.
22:21Yes.
22:22And he even mentioned about Linda's drinking problem as well, you know?
22:25Yeah, man.
22:26It's brutal.
22:27Bang out of order.
22:28I mean, who wants to be a politician?
22:30Not me, mate.
22:31No.
22:31Oh, and earlier today, Linda and Johnny had beef in the caff.
22:36He basically told her to stick her money where the sun don't shine,
22:39so you can call her to search for her new salon partner, yeah?
22:41Because she ain't going nowhere.
22:42Oh.
22:43I wouldn't be too sure about that.
22:44Look, look.
22:46Oh.
22:48Look, you made your point.
22:49Right, you don't need to tear another strip off me.
22:50I'm sorry.
22:52About earlier.
22:53You were just trying to step up for me and I was being a brat.
22:57Maybe change your heart?
22:58Er, this big, moody, bald bloke.
23:01Made me see sense.
23:03Well, I can't hear what they're saying.
23:05Don't go away.
23:05What?
23:07Why'd you piss this even to eat?
23:09Don't you want to know?
23:10Yeah.
23:12The offer's still on the table.
23:14I haven't...
23:15I haven't changed my mind.
23:17And...
23:17I haven't forgiven you for nearly ruining things with Callum.
23:21But I did see Ian's video.
23:23I kind of didn't deserve that.
23:26And neither did you.
23:29I think you should...
23:30I think you should sell your steak.
23:33God, do something for yourself.
23:35I'm sure I'm gonna...
23:39Do you know what?
23:40You're right.
23:42It's time I've got my own happiness first.
23:47Yeah, no.
23:48How soon can you get it on the market?
23:52No, no.
23:53That...
23:53That is great.
23:55Right?
23:55The sooner the better.
23:58Yep.
24:00Okay.
24:01All right.
24:03No, no, no.
24:04I'll, erm...
24:04I'll email you the paperwork by the end of play today.
24:07Yeah?
24:09Cheers.
24:11So, you got it sorted?
24:15You gonna tell me, or...?
24:18I'm selling this place.
24:21No, you're not.
24:22You can't.
24:22This is our liveliness.
24:23Yeah, well, not if I default on the bills.
24:25We'll lose both businesses and baby Ivy's out in the cold.
24:28Look, I've...
24:29I've got no choice, Harry.
24:31Like that money that you gave to the restaurant.
24:33It wasn't just for this place, darling.
24:35It was all that I had.
24:37Okay.
24:39Okay, what about Dad?
24:40He can help us out.
24:41Oh, yeah.
24:42He's gonna give a loan to his ex, her partner and their newborn baby.
24:46Darling, there's more chance of Barney playing for West Ham.
24:48Mum.
24:52Mum, running this place is the only thing keeping me sober.
24:57Without it...
24:57No, no, no, darling, darling.
24:58We will manage.
24:59No, I won't.
25:00I'm not out of the woods yet and I don't wanna relapse, Mum.
25:03Please.
25:04Please.
25:05There's gotta be another way.
25:12Mum not around?
25:14No.
25:14I think she's having a long, hot soak after landing a right hook on Ian Bill.
25:21What?
25:22I'll let her tell you in the morning.
25:24Goodnight.
25:27Grant, wait.
25:29Erm...
25:30I'm sorry I snapped at you, Ray.
25:33Don't be.
25:34You've got a lot on your plate and I...
25:37I should've given you more space.
25:39And I should've said thank you for talking to Johnny.
25:43You didn't have to do that.
25:45I wanted to.
25:48Why?
25:50Because I like you.
25:53And I wanted you to be happy.
25:57You don't think I'm a bitter old spinster?
26:00What?
26:01Normie.
26:02That's the problem.
26:06I can't.
26:08Not unless you want me to.
26:13I don't.
26:14I don't.
26:38Do you speak to George about me offer?
26:41What did he say?
26:43It ain't a bribe.
26:45I just want to help out.
26:47Give me one good reason why I should help you out.
26:50Because I'll do whatever it takes to make things right.
26:56You've got no idea what it feels like
26:59to want forgiveness for doing something terrible.
27:05You really want to make peace for George?
27:07It's my dying wish.
27:11Then you sign that money over to me.
27:13Consider it done.
27:15You're going to have the lot.
27:18But you've got to let me move in with you.
27:21That ain't the deal.
27:23I need to be close to my boy.
27:26You told him they won't let you.
27:28You have to find a way.
27:31You want me to lie to the authorities and all?
27:33Where's the harm?
27:36Wouldn't you want to fix things if you had one last chance?
27:40Sometimes, immerse.
27:43Another one, my, three.
28:10Thank you very much.
