00:17I hope I made myself clear last night.
00:21Listen, Linda, there's not even Mummy looking out for her, yeah?
00:26You listen to me.
00:28She has had enough.
00:30Heartbreak in her life.
00:31And she doesn't need someone like you swooping in when she's vulnerable
00:35and missing her about again.
00:37So, like I said, naff off.
00:42Why don't you mind your own business?
00:47So who's looking forward to Valentine's?
00:50Oh, no.
00:53Oh, sorry.
00:54No.
00:55I know one of these has got the old Valentine's stuff on the Vic.
00:59Oh, not you and all.
01:00I thought you'd already done up the Albert.
01:02We have, darling.
01:03You can never have enough bling.
01:05And Cindy doesn't know how to make it sparkle like I do.
01:08Oh, I haven't seen this in ages.
01:12God, Mick bought this for Ollie when he was first diagnosed.
01:14I mean, he grew out of it years ago.
01:16I just can't bear to get rid of it.
01:17Well, of course not.
01:18Oh, I don't know.
01:19I used to love Valentine's.
01:20It's not the same anymore.
01:22What about you, Max?
01:23Have you got love on the mind?
01:25Or are you just going to take someone else on the friend date like Linda told you to?
01:31Valentine's.
01:32It's just commercial nonsense.
01:34Yeah.
01:34And I intend to exploit it for every penny.
01:38What about you, Bea?
01:40You got anyone special yet?
01:41Well, if I did, I don't think it would be very advisable to bring them back to this B&B.
01:47Uh, my mum went to a lot of effort with this place.
01:50Well, yes, I'm just saying the decor's quite bright.
01:52It'd be, you know, fine if your date loves the circus.
01:55Well, if you staying here at mates' rates isn't good enough for you, then maybe you should find somewhere else
02:00that suits your taste.
02:00Why are you bringing up money when you know I've just lost my job, standing up for honey?
02:05I didn't mean it like that.
02:06Yeah, but you mentioning giving me a discount, well, that's really going to make me feel like I've overstayed my
02:11welcome, isn't it?
02:15But, right, well, then I'll go then.
02:19Oh, thank you for letting me stay at your palace.
02:23I'll go and get my stuff.
02:27Oh, Bea, look, there's no need to...
02:28Go after her, Linda.
02:30She's overreacted.
02:32You want her to go in anyway.
02:33Maybe it's for the best.
02:35I've got enough going on with Ollie.
02:37I was so upset last night, he didn't want to go in today.
02:40If I get my hands on whoever is doing this to him.
02:53I heard you tossing and turning.
02:57I'm praying we need to talk.
03:00Hey, Priya.
03:01Get off me.
03:04You can't ignore me forever.
03:08After everything the police did to Ivani, you want to work for him?
03:11I can't even look at you, let alone torture.
03:14Yeah, Priya, I didn't have a choice.
03:15What do you want me to...
03:16Oh, you always have a choice if you ain't weak?
03:20Who even are you anymore?
03:21Who even are you anymore?
03:23All the lies you've told me about going straight and now this.
03:26How did it even start?
03:27I told you, the less you know, the better.
03:29It's for your own safety.
03:30Nugget is in hospital and you are bringing trouble to our door again.
03:34If the mob find out you're informing, they'll kill you.
03:36Yeah, I wish...
03:37They'll kill all of us.
03:37I wish I could get out of it, but it was either in form or go back inside.
03:42Priya, what do you want me to...
03:42If you'd have chosen prison over being Jack's little grass, our entire family wouldn't be in danger right now.
03:49Yes?
03:50Speaking.
03:53What?
03:53When?
03:57We'll be right there.
03:58Yeah.
03:59Why is it?
04:00Wait.
04:01He's had another seizure.
04:04Come on.
04:07Just so I get this right, you're early.
04:09No, I'm burnt.
04:10He's winding you up.
04:12Are you going to be here when we're back from school?
04:14Well, are you?
04:16Right.
04:17Come on, mister.
04:18Go and grab your brother.
04:19It's school time.
04:19Go on.
04:21See you later.
04:22Have a good day.
04:23See you.
04:23Bye.
04:24Bye.
04:24Nice having your family around you, isn't it?
04:27Helping them when they need you.
04:28That's nice and all.
04:29You think I'm just going to forget what you did to get me here?
04:31Yes.
04:31And, Jack, I wouldn't push you if we didn't need Chrissie's help.
04:34Would we need her to help clear Zoe's name?
04:36You don't even know whether she's got anything to do with it.
04:38Listen, you might not think she's involved, but don't you want to know either way?
04:42Jake, please, this has been hanging over us for a long time.
04:46Look, I'm just trying to move on with my life, all right?
04:47I don't want to get mixed up in your mess.
04:50So much for family.
04:57Okay.
04:58Okay, listen, Kat, you shouldn't have lied to get you here.
05:01I get it.
05:02And I'm sorry.
05:05But I can't believe it's been so long since I've seen you, bud.
05:08So long.
05:10So I can't believe you and Chrissie are still together.
05:15I was there the day she got out.
05:17Oh.
05:18I always knew she was the one.
05:19Oh.
05:21Or so I thought.
05:24You and Kat lasted a distance?
05:26Yeah.
05:27In the end, you know.
05:29After her and Phil got divorced.
05:32She was married to Phil Mitchell.
05:34Well, yeah.
05:34Yeah, I like to call them the wilderness she is.
05:37Anyway, Danny, you know, I've been leaving messages with Danny.
05:39He hasn't got back to me.
05:40I don't know if he heard from him.
05:42Yeah.
05:43You know what it's like?
05:44I hardly hear from him myself.
05:46Yeah.
05:46I'll take one, he can shout.
05:47See if we can get him over here, you know, tonight maybe.
05:49We'll have a drink before I head off to Oz.
05:51That'd be cool.
05:53Is, um, is Phil still around?
05:55No, he's alive and kicking.
05:56He's just across the square.
06:02Paracetamol, plaster's pants.
06:04Spare pants for emergencies.
06:06Nothing worse than having an underwear emergency whilst on holiday.
06:09Going away.
06:11Yeah, yeah, we are on our family break.
06:13We saw this gorgeous last-minute cottage down in Cornwall,
06:16so we couldn't resist, really.
06:18Thought we'd spend some of the compensation money.
06:22Which we wouldn't have got if it wasn't for you, so.
06:26I'm sorry how things have worked out, Bea.
06:28I'm sure you'll get a job soon.
06:30Oh, and I've got a bigger problem at the moment, I know.
06:34Linda suggested that I should leave.
06:37What?
06:37Yeah, she all but papped my bags.
06:40Oh, and the way she spoke to me, I mean, you just...
06:42Oh, Bea, that's terrible.
06:44You know, it wasn't ideal, living with my ex-bully,
06:48but it's better than nothing.
06:51Oh, well, why didn't you stay at us while we're away?
06:55Oh, really?
06:56Oh, I love that.
06:58Yeah, well, she'd be doing us a favour, wouldn't she, Billy?
07:02Yeah, yeah, of course.
07:03Yeah.
07:03Of course.
07:04I'll drop her spare key round to you later.
07:06Oh, brilliant.
07:08Thank you, honey.
07:09And, Billy.
07:11Yeah.
07:12It's all right.
07:14Bye, sir.
07:15Bea.
07:17You can't just go round telling people Linda chucked you out.
07:20I was there.
07:21You just took it the wrong way.
07:23Oh, what's it to you, anyway?
07:26Oh.
07:27Yeah.
07:27Yeah, I get it.
07:28You and Linda, yeah.
07:30I thought I saw you looking at old doe eye this morning.
07:33And now here you are in your trusty white steed to save a reputation.
07:38I'm just looking out for a mate, Bea.
07:40Oh, mate.
07:41Yeah.
07:42Right.
07:44Max, you're lonely.
07:46And believe you me, I'd know.
07:49You don't know anything about me.
07:51Did it ever occur to you that as well as trying to humiliate me, Linda set us up to try
07:57and
07:57keep you away from her?
07:59And then here you are, hanging around like the ghost of Christmas past, waiting for her
08:05to notice you.
08:07And I thought that people thought I was a pathetic one.
08:16Yeah?

10:16you're one of the only people that know about it

10:30let him kill you both or pull the trigger and stop him
10:37tell me i made the right choice
10:42tell me you've done good with your life
10:46tell me it was worth killing my own brother for

10:56well you know
10:58you took a big risk
11:02saving us and i'm
11:04i'm always gonna be grateful
11:09so you uh you stick it around or what
11:12no too many ghosts
11:15i'm leaving the country for good
11:19you know
11:21you know you can't change the past can we and
11:26we're running away it never helps and you've been away what 20 years
11:29you said yourself you think about danny every day
11:33i couldn't look alph in the eye when he was asking about him
11:36i can't live my life lying to my family
11:40you know maybe you did wrong
11:42i've done it that day
11:43i i don't know but maybe
11:46you could spend the rest of your days doing right by the family that you have got left
11:53okay so how are you feeling now davinda
11:54yeah right a bit tired i guess
11:57okay fine
11:59well we've consulted with the epilepsy specialists and they agree that the tests we've been doing
12:03do show that you have developed epilepsy as a result of your head trauma
12:09look i know it's a lot to take in
12:11but the important thing is that this isn't going to ruin your life
12:16what happens now
12:18so we'll start davinder on some medication which should hopefully stop the seizures
12:21it might take a while for us to work out which ones work best for him
12:24but many people with epilepsy don't have any seizures at all
12:28as long as they take their medication and take on board some lifestyle changes
12:32but i can run you through those later
12:34like i said i know this is a lot to take in so i'll give you all some time
12:39when can he come home
12:41well we'd like to keep an eye on him for one more night but
12:44all being well he should be discharged tomorrow
12:46i've actually got some information leaflets at the desk
12:49might be an idea for you to have a read
12:51i'll see you in a bit
13:01hey

13:04it's gonna be okay
13:05you don't know that dad you don't know why is this happening dad
13:08remember what the doctor said
13:10yeah
13:12this ain't gonna ruin your life because they're gonna find the right meds for you
13:16you know what i hate about all this
13:20it just means i'm weak in it
