00:14I want to see my baby, I need my temperature checked, I'm all painkillers and I want to see my
00:24baby.
00:35The nurse said it was okay.
00:37Your little sister's sleeping.
00:43She's a little fighter, like a dad.
00:47I think that's my side of the family actually.
00:51How's mum, has she still got temperature?
00:53Got her little feet, how are you?
00:56I mean, that and then this, it's breaking her heart.
01:01Now they're saying 48 weeks in here and that's nearly two months.
01:05Have you even slept, dad?
01:07It's just that they need each other. I mean, there's nothing I can do.
01:13What's happening? I don't know. Nurse?
01:16Okay, I'm going to need some space here, please.
01:19What is it?
01:20If you can wait outside.
01:30Here, darling, do you fancy a chocolate martini?
01:34After all the eggs my mum forced down yesterday, I don't...
01:36So you thought any more about coming to the trial tomorrow?
01:41I mean, it's murder. She might not come back.
01:44Well, after what she did to me, you hid her phone, hid evidence.
01:47Go do one.
01:49Like mother, like daughter.
01:52Yeah, I'm going to go see her in prison.
01:55What? Like, now?
01:56Are you sure?
01:57Yeah, I haven't seen her since I was eight.
02:00She was going to change her plea.
02:03Having her brother on her side, that's just what she needs.
02:06Richie?
02:07Er, I ain't on her side. I just need to look her in the eye and see if...
02:12I know, darling. Of course.
02:15See you soon, yeah?
02:25I thought... I thought you was at work. Sorry.
02:29Er...
02:29No, I just need to see her and get my phone.
02:36Has Mark spoken to you?
02:38No. Why?
02:40I don't... I'll be late.
02:42I'll have to go.
02:43So what are you?
02:43Oh, easy, tiger.
02:44I'm late, Ross.
02:45Alright, mate, I was just...
02:47I was just trying to have a joke.
02:50Good day, mate.
02:54Ahem.
03:00Harvey.
03:01You about, mate?
03:06I promised I wouldn't let anything happen to her.
03:10Yeah, and you haven't.
03:12Just Penny asking if she can do anything.
03:19Mr. Knight.
03:20You see you?
03:21Ivy's fine.
03:22There was a longer pause in her breathing, which triggered an alarm.
03:25Why make that happen again?
03:26There's nothing to worry about.
03:28It is very common with pre-term babies.
03:31Now, if you'd like, you can have some skin-to-skin contact.
03:37Well, go on, then.
03:38If you get to hold her.
03:40We only close her, ma'am.
03:42She should be the first.
03:54I just don't know why you're so worried about Harry.
03:56She's got a very big heart.
03:57Said he had a meeting to go to.
03:59I just sent him a message, wondering if he needed any help.
04:02Yeah, and if he does, he's got Gina.
04:04Exactly.
04:05And I know she's premature, but
04:07she's never really thought he was the sort of guy who over-worries about babies.
04:11Anyway, I best go to my meeting.
04:16Oh, you can put your judgy eyes away.
04:23No.
04:25Believe me, I'm the last person to judge anyone for being in a low-rent life triangle.
04:30Who are you calling low-rent?
04:31The hell is this fair?
04:33Breaking his little heart.
04:34If you go through this DNA test, you might be paying for your own breakfast,
04:37own buggies, own shop.
04:38Lauren says I should do it.
04:39Lauren, boring.
04:40She's not that smart.
04:42Look, he's got good money, good hair, you know, a bit too tidy, cute little tush.
04:46If Nicola's so worried about a DNA test, I'll fake one up for you.
04:50How?
04:50A bit of, you know, laptop-ing.
04:55With the old laptop.
04:56Yeah, no.
04:57Sorry not all of us have loving, uncomplicated relationships with jailbirds.
05:01She killed your dad!
05:02Aren't you, Kin?
05:03That ain't helping.
05:04I know, but I want to see her.
05:06Patrick can't even be here because of that girl.
05:08He's lost his son!
05:09It is not your place to judge, Kit.
05:11You don't know what people will do in the heat of the moment.
05:14You want to see your sister?
05:15See your sister.
05:16Nothing you do is going to make this any worse.
05:18All right.
05:19All right.
05:23All right.
05:27Good luck.
05:30OK.
05:31Thanks.
05:38All right?
05:39Yeah.
05:39You seem to be up in here with Zoe and Richard.
05:41No, she's fine.
05:42Kat!
05:43She's got a big girl pants on today.
05:44She don't need her, Mum.
05:45He's making out Anthony with some kind of saint.
05:47My team has just had, er, Patrick's video statement.
05:51I mean, we weren't expecting you'd be giving Jasmine straight air.
05:54Well, I get it.
05:55But, Richard, come on.
05:56You know, he's angry and he's grieving.
05:58The mobile footage is inconclusive.
06:00Doesn't show the actual attack.
06:02It's going to be hard for the jury to be clear if it was self-defence.
06:05He was coming for her for both of us.
06:07There's hardly any other evidence.
06:09On the day, it'll all come down to witness statements.
06:13If we're arguing self-defence.
06:15They're going to put her away.
06:16The trial don't even start yet, Zoe.
06:18So...
06:19So...
06:19What are your options?
06:21Make him withdraw it.
06:22Oh, yeah.
06:23Fly after Trinidad.
06:24Bit of witness tampering.
06:25That will really help.
06:26Kat, Kat, stop.
06:27Look, it's a bit of a punt, but, erm...
06:29If Jasmine's other grandparents was to go in the box tomorrow
06:33and counter Patrick's narrative...
06:35Me?
06:36You said I wouldn't have to testify.
06:38That's all right, Richie.
06:38There must be other options.
06:41She was protecting me when I should have been protecting her.
06:44I mean, what if Josh won't stick around without her?
06:48You have got to get up in court.
06:49I cannot risk losing both of them again.
06:53If you're running the temperature...
06:54What, are you a doctor now, are you?
06:56Ivy's still really fragile.
06:57Mum, they're doing their best.
06:58Really are?
06:59By giving me a virus, that means I can't see my baby.
07:02Yeah, I will be putting that in my TripAdvisor review.
07:04Well, I said you probably had it when you came in.
07:06Can you just get me some painkillers to work, please?
07:09Can you get something?
07:15I know you're frustrated.
07:17Ivy wouldn't even be in that incubator if it weren't for you.
07:20Come on, that's not fair.
07:21No, it's true.
07:22If you haven't been stressing me out, I'd be a stupid opening.
07:25I'm really sorry you can't get so old, Ivy, right now.
07:28Bet you can't wait to get in there first.
07:29Mum, that ain't fair. You didn't see him.
07:32No, you're right.
07:33I didn't.
07:35Cos I've been stuck in here, pumping, filling up bottles of milk,
07:39full of stitches while you lot were swanning about.
07:41OK, come on, Dad. Let's go hold it, yeah?
07:45Oh, yeah, come on, off your trot.
07:47God, I'll stay with her.
07:49No, no.
07:50Go and play happy families.
07:58Actually, Harry, have you got a signal?
08:03Mate, Jean Garst, that shed like some kind of shrine to Martin.
08:06There's no way she's just going to hand the keys over.
08:08After Martin's shed?
08:10Er, I thought you was working.
08:11I'm taking him gaming.
08:12Take his mind off Ivy, ain't I?
08:14Harry, message me. Ivy's fine.
08:15Then you can focus on teaching me chess, can't you?
08:18Go on, then, Martin.
08:18Just a few of the guys.
08:20Martin's shed, you know, a few beers, a bit of man's space when we all need it.
08:22Can I ask Vic about this?
08:24No, look, it's a stupid idea, we ain't gonna do it.
08:27So go on, chessboard's waiting.
08:29Come on, mate.
08:30Well, I'm showing no mercy.
08:32Oh, oh, oh, don't worry.
08:33Went to man's shed.
08:35I'm allowed to get rid of the fun police, didn't I?
08:37So, I'm gonna get Jean to hand over those keys.
08:39Oh, I like it.
08:42OK, just remember she's really delicate, but she's not made of glass.
08:53OK, look at her little face.
09:00There she is.
09:02Turn it off.
09:03She's so small.
09:04Harry, please, turn it off.
09:14She's hung up.
09:19She's hung up.
09:22You are so beautiful.
09:26She's strong.
09:30Just like your mum.
09:34She is actually really desperate to see her.
09:37But she needs to get a little bit better in her.
09:41You know, both of us, you know.
09:43We'll both be there for you.
09:44Look after you.
09:46Make you safe.
09:50I know this...
09:53I know this hasn't been the best it starts for.
09:57I know it's been really difficult, but...
10:05I'm your dad.
10:09And I love you more than you could imagine, you know.
10:14And I will always be there for you.
10:17But...
10:20Right now, I, uh...
10:22I need to, uh...
10:24Could you, uh...
10:26OK.
10:27Shh.
10:28Hey.
10:32Shh, shh, shh.
10:47I ain't got a problem.
10:49That shed's been in Martin's family for years.
10:52Vicky had...
10:53Ate it.
10:57What?
10:58You still fancy her, don't you?
11:00I don't fancy her, mate.
11:01They're just friends.
11:02Well, if they're just friends, you're very protective of her house.
11:04She feels about her shed she never even goes to.
11:07I'm a bit too keen to find folks in her fiancƩ.
11:11Look, when I had feelings for Avani, you were the one that helped me accept I had to let it
11:15go.
11:17Look, are you going to show me how to play this for a lot?
11:20From what I heard about Martin, he'd have loved all his mates hard in his shed raising a beer.
11:27Yeah.
11:28Um...
11:29Come on then, who goes first?
11:30No, you.
11:31Whites.
11:32All right.
12:07You're...
12:08You're so big.
12:10You're all grown up.
12:12And you're not.
12:19I can't believe he came.
12:27Hey, Vicky.
12:29Hiya.
12:29Hiya.
12:30Can I have a mocha, please?
12:35I take it that face means that you know about Patrick's statement?
12:38Give him a bit of direction, did ya?
12:40Get your little ring light out for him.
12:41I've not seen it.
12:42He's done it all on his own.
12:44But he's a good man.
12:45And you know that.
12:47And whatever he said on the tape, he's not going to lie.
12:50Well, they want me to give evidence in her defence.
12:53At Jasmine's trial?
12:55Well, you said no, yeah?
12:56They reckon if another grandparent gets a different picture...
13:00That would be lying on oath.
13:01I've listened to enough true crime podcasts and made a couple of my own.
13:05Get me on the witness box again after Joel, where they twist everything.
13:09If she goes down, it would kill my Zoe.
13:11But if you hadn't found her, it would be Zoe on trial instead.
13:14Banged up for life.
13:16You really want Jasmine living with you.
13:18And the kids.
13:20So what?
13:20You're going to stand up in court tomorrow and swear on the Bible that it was self-defence.
13:28Mate.
13:35Eight years, you were all I had.
13:39We went everywhere together, laying in bed, making up stories.
13:42Yeah, it was you and me against the wild back then.
13:45Yeah.
13:47And then you weren't there.
13:51You said you wanted to be removed. I never even knew why.
13:53Cassandra hated me.
13:56She didn't, Jasmine.
13:58Why would you think that she would...
13:58Because what happened with Keith?
14:00After he died.
14:04The second I left, she adopted you.
14:07All those years spent fostering for what?
14:09That wasn't them, that was the system, Jasmine.
14:13Did you really think Sandra would...
14:15She could have had both of us.
14:16And she chose you.
14:19Look, I'm not blaming you.
14:20You were exactly blaming me, Jasmine.
14:23I'm not. I'm just...
14:24I'm just saying that you could have come with me.
14:29And...
14:29You didn't. You stayed.
14:32So...
14:32I wrote you letters every week.
14:36One time I sat in McDonald's with my social worker waiting for you.
14:43You're my sister, my twin.
14:45I didn't know who I was without you.
14:47And I missed you every day.
14:50As soon as I turned 18, I accessed our files.
14:52I saw your name in the paper.
14:55I got your number from your adoptive mum.
15:00You could have done the same.
15:01How do you think I don't know that?
15:04If I could have had you...
15:06By my side all my life.
15:08Are you seriously putting this onto me?
15:10No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm just saying...
15:14Why did you kill him?
15:19Why did you do it?
15:22I didn't even have a chance to meet him. He was our birth dad.
15:25Well, I didn't know that, did I?
15:27I didn't know that when he...
15:31I was just scared. I was so scared.
15:33Josh, okay?
15:34I...
15:35It all just happened so fast.
15:37Zoe was just lying there.
15:38Zoe, our mum, was just lying there.
15:40And he was kneeling by her.
15:42And I...
15:44I don't even remember what happened.
15:46I don't.
15:47I just remember wanting him to stop and...
15:53Look, I'm sorry.
15:55Okay? I'm sorry.
15:56I'm sorry that I took away your chance to meet him.
16:02And I'm sorry that I didn't...
16:04write back when...
16:06you know, I was moved, but...
16:09I was just a kid.
16:11I was just a kid, Josh.
16:12I was just a kid.
16:17You are my brother.
16:19You're half of me.
16:21That's your time, please.
16:33Look me in the eyes.
16:35Look me in the eyes,
16:37and tell me that you can see I'm telling the truth.
16:40Tell me you believe me.
16:41Because if you can't see that, what hope have I got?
16:49Time, please.
16:50Time, please.
16:57Sorry.
17:12But there's nothing wrong with my drains.
17:14Look, I'm not going to charge her.
17:16What are you even doing here?
17:17Because I care about your plumbing.
17:19And you can smell it outside.
17:20He's doing you a favour.
17:21I can't smell anything.
17:22And when I'm backed up, I use a plunger.
17:24So I'd thank you, Harvey Monroe,
17:25to not go sniffing around my backyard when you're not invited.
17:28And as if I haven't got enough of my plate at the moment,
17:30with Jasmine going to court.
17:31Why don't you just show me where the waste...
17:33You can't just go straight...
17:34Look, I'll show you.
17:36See? No smell.
17:37Because you ain't been running your taps.
17:39Fine.
17:39No, listen, no.
17:40Let me just...
17:41No, no, no.
17:42You said I haven't been running the taps,
17:43as soon as you're so determined to prove that my drains are so offensive...
17:50Mine, thank you.
17:51Yeah, I just...
17:53I want this, so...
17:57Just...
17:59Honey?
18:00Do you, um...
18:01Do you have any ripe ones?
18:02And, um...
18:03Let me have a look.
18:04Oh, George.
18:06How's Nicola in the baby?
18:09Well, er...
18:09She's getting stronger, and...
18:11But Nicola's still got the virus, so she can't hold her or even see her.
18:15Oh, that's awful.
18:17Oh.
18:19Oh.
18:20Are you going to go and grab her some stuff?
18:22No, no, I've got to check in on the restaurant and then on the bar, so...
18:26George, you can't do everything, you know.
18:29Yeah, well, I need to, er...
18:31I'll tell you, you're asking after her, all right?
18:33We'll see her next.
18:40And what were you wanting with Martin's shed keys in the first place?
18:45Harvey Munro, Ross Marshall, will you stop walking away when I am talking to you?
18:50Right, you tell her.
18:51You tell her.
18:52I wanted to, you know, set up a sanctuary for the mint.
18:55In Martin's shed?
18:56Just a few cans.
18:58Give the poor women a break.
19:00I just thought they're doing some housework so that the poor women
19:03could go and have a few cans of their own might be more appreciated.
19:09Look, I didn't know Martin.
19:10Yeah, but I did, mate.
19:12And he loved that shed.
19:15That doesn't mean that I wouldn't...
19:16Look, him and Stacey, they'd have a row and he'd go over there,
19:20let things settle and then come back here, sort it all out.
19:27He'd love his mates to do the same, do you know what I mean?
19:31Yes.
19:32Wow.
19:34Well, I suppose it's better than all the men running off with other women.
19:37Need to spruce up.
19:40I promise I will look after you.
19:43Didn't need to hide in a shed when you were with me, did you?
19:48You can thank me later.
19:49You can swap a mate.
19:52You can swap a mate.
20:19So, I thought he was fine then.
20:22Yeah, he is.
20:23We don't want to daggle temptation in front of his face, they are.
20:25I mean, either that or she just wanted to get rid of me.
20:29All right, I'll see you later.
20:30See you later.
20:30See you.
20:38All right.
20:45You don't worry, Ivy, okay?
20:49I'm sorry.
20:51Mummy's coming.
20:53I don't know.
20:55Oh.
20:58Oh.
21:00It's okay.
21:02Oh.
21:04I'm coming.
21:08Guys, this is the third one.
21:09We've got to do better than this.
21:11Yeah.
21:11We're closed.
21:15Oh, I'm sorry.
21:17We'll be open later.
21:18Honest.
21:19I came to check on you.
21:22Yeah, well, I'm fine.
21:24Honest.
21:27My Jordan was premature.
21:29It's okay to say you're stressed.
21:34I, er...
21:36I really need to, er...
21:50It's really scary.
21:52Being there.
21:55Alarms.
21:56Going off.
21:57Jumping at everything.
21:59Sometimes just being somewhere else is...
22:01You know.
22:03The thing is, we're about to open, so...
22:11Okay.
22:14Maybe if I'd been there that night and we hadn't argued...
22:18If...
22:18If onlys.
22:19I wasted so many days with if onlys.
22:22Well, you can ask her.
22:23She'd tell you the same.
22:25And she'd be wrong too.
22:28When I had Jordan, I wanted someone to blame.
22:32Someone to be responsible.
22:34Anyone.
22:35Because otherwise, you know, things are just random and...
22:38Yeah.
22:40I was just trying to do what was best for her, you know.
22:44And for Nicola.
22:45It's never gonna be enough.
22:48I do work with her.
22:51Yeah.
22:53However much she blames you...
22:56She is blaming herself so much more.
23:04It, erm...
23:06It took me a long time.
23:08To talk about it.
23:10All that time in hospital.
23:14Knowing there was a tiny baby.
23:17In a glass box.
23:18All on his own.
23:20Knowing I hadn't carried him to term.
23:24I was the one whose body had failed.
23:27I was the one who should be...
23:30Feeding him.
23:32Protecting him.
23:33Loving him.
23:34All those machines doing what my body should be doing.
23:40And...
23:40Everyone would say, you know.
23:42Don't blame yourself, but...
23:46We're mums, George.
23:48It's what we do.
23:50And I got to be with Jordan.
23:52I can't imagine what it feels like for Nicola wanting that so much.
23:57Not being able to look at her.
24:00Be in the same room.
24:04So if...
24:06If kicking off at you is how she deals with it, then...
24:10Maybe you'll just have to take it.
24:13Until she's ready to let you in.
24:16Richie said the police give evidence first, then the video, then Patrick, then me and you.
24:20And what if I get it wrong?
24:21You won't.
24:22Like Richie said, just focus on how great he's been to have her back in our lives.
24:26Josh!
24:28How'd it go?
24:30Erm...
24:30How is she?
24:32How did it go?
24:33Just let me speak.
24:34Just sit down.
24:35OK.
24:37Erm...
24:37She just looked really...
24:39Scared.
24:41I believe her.
24:42She was just protecting you.
24:45I said I'll come tomorrow to the trial with Kim and Denise.
24:48I want to give her all the support I can.
24:50She's got her whole family in her corner.
24:52We're gonna do this.
24:54We're gonna get her back home.
24:55Come on.
25:00I just...
25:01wanna see my daughter.
25:02Please, you need to go back to your room.
25:05Nicola?
25:06Oh, I bet they can wait to call you.
25:07You're risking spreading the virus.
25:08No, I want to see my daughter, alright?
25:10Come on.
25:11No, Josh!
25:12Alright, you'll get what I've got.
25:13It's fine.
25:14She needs you.
25:15So do you.
25:16No, you won't be able to hold her.
25:18Right now.
25:19I need to be here.
25:20With you.
25:21For both of you.
25:22I just wanna see my baby.
25:25I know you do.
25:26And you will see.
25:27Right now.
25:28I'm here.
25:29And I'm not going anywhere, okay?
25:30I've got you.
25:31Yeah?
25:32I've got you, love.
25:33I've got you.
25:34I've got you.
25:35See you.
25:35Come on.
25:37All Zoe wants is Jasmine home.
25:39Her kids together.
25:41I get that.
25:42I've been there.
25:44But...
25:45Come here, Renna.
25:53I know Chrissie was playing games with her.
25:55And messing with her head.
25:57But that video is hardly clear.
25:58Whoa, whoa, whoa.
25:58What are you talking...
25:59I thought you dropped all this.
26:01What's she put Patrick through?
26:02What's she put us all through?
26:03She was gonna let Zoe rot in prison.
26:05What if Jean was right about her all along?
26:07Oh, okay.
26:07She did what she had to do.
26:08Listen.
26:09She saved Zoe's life.
26:11She could've just called for help.
26:13You didn't have to hit him so hard, did she?
26:15What if it wasn't Sidney?
26:16Self-defence.
26:16What if she just saw red?
26:17That's murder.
26:18Oh, she's a scrappy little madam who fights for what she wants.
26:22No idea where she gets that from, have you?
26:24What am I messing about?
26:25She set fire to stuff and then locked Zoe in the room.
26:28Listen, listen.
26:28She's looking at a 15-year stretch minimum.
26:30In case you forgot, she's your granddaughter.
26:33So what?
26:33I've just got to stand there and tell everyone that she's such an angel.
26:35No, no, Kate.
26:36You've got no choice.
26:36She killed a man.
26:37You've seen the video.
26:38Do you really want her in our home?
26:42You know you're gonna lose Zoe again, right?
26:46All of you.
26:48All of you putting this on me.
26:50All this pressure.
26:53I can't do it.
26:55I can't.
27:00Detail.
