00:11Oh, what's up here? She robbed a bank.
00:13Yeah.
00:15They're our kiddie's books.
00:16I remember Zoe always having her nose stuck in little nose twinkle.
00:20Lynne wanted Zoe to have them while she was banged up.
00:24They'd probably get her through security.
00:25How's she doing?
00:27Yeah. The plea hearing's on Farrah's day.
00:30The murder charge has been reduced to manslaughter.
00:32But she didn't do it.
00:33I know, but Chrissie swears blind it was Jasmine that killed Anthony.
00:36Cobblers, you can't believe a word that cow says.
00:39I don't know. If Chrissie did do it,
00:40why would she risk sticking around when she could be sunning herself in Acapulco?
00:44Well, you've got to drag the trophy out of Jasmine.
00:46Yeah, I'm going to get Chrissie to help me find her today.
00:49That whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
00:54but have eternal life.
00:57For God so loved the world
01:01that he gave his only begotten son
01:05that whosoever believeth in him
01:07should not perish,
01:10but have everlasting life.
01:17Oh, is that Sophie with the grandchildren?
01:21Well, if she had changed her mind, she would have let you know.
01:25Oh, what were you?
01:27Sorry, uh, was you expecting someone else?
01:30Yeah.
01:32We was hoping that Anthony's ex-wife and kids might attend his funeral.
01:40Thank you for coming.
01:42Yeah, I've come to support all of you.
01:50How have you been?
01:53I've been better.
01:55Just praying that Pops gets through the day one piece.
02:01Do we know if Jasmine's going to show her face?
02:03No, she told me she couldn't face it.
02:06Don't know where she is, though.
02:07But why not?
02:08Because Anthony was her dad,
02:09and she should be here and supporting you, Patrick.
02:12Can't blame the girl.
02:15She doesn't know Anthony, and she hardly knows me.
02:24I'm worried about him.
02:26Look, he's bearing his son, Yolande.
02:27It's going to be a dark day.
02:29What if he never recovers?
02:38Good morning.
02:39No, thanks to you.
02:41You all right, Elaine?
02:43Police let you out, did they?
02:46Two full English.
02:48There you go.
02:49Can I just say, you've got a gorgeous figure.
02:52One whiff of a fried slice goes straight to me hips.
02:54Full English.
02:55Sounds lovely.
02:56Kitchen's closed.
02:58Cereal only after nine.
03:03Can I have coffee?
03:04There is no cereal.
03:06Can you get some more?
03:07Mini-mart's around the corner.
03:08Listen, you're a B&B, all right?
03:10But if there's no breakfast, what does that beast have for?
03:12Don't you dare try and smear my business after your grandson's bullying antics brought police
03:18to my door, which obviously was a complete waste of time because there wasn't a mark on it.
03:22Mum!
03:24I know you're upset.
03:26Upset?
03:26Try and mortified.
03:28Ian had me interrogated for assaulting a child.
03:31Just go and get Max's cereal.
03:36Breakfast won't be long.
03:37Well, listen, I don't really care about breakfast.
03:40I care about our family.
03:42Our family?
03:44You pretended you didn't know who was hurting my son just to serve your own ego.
03:48No, I was trying to protect everyone without upsetting you.
03:51Ollie's autistic.
03:52That means I need all the facts all the time to give him the support he needs.
03:55I fully hear that, all right?
03:56And I'm sorry.
03:56It won't happen again.
03:57You're down the line.
03:58And I swear if Louie comes near Ollie again...
04:00He won't.
04:02I'm going to stop the Ian's smear campaign against your mum as well.
04:04It's a bit late to play the hero.
04:11Breakfast is served.
04:19All right, Maureen.
04:20Hello.
04:21No.
04:22No.
04:24So, you believe me then about Jasmine, yeah?
04:27So I can clear my name and get out of here.
04:29What are you worried about your name for?
04:30Your CV's already got husband killer on it.
04:33Did you call me here for another fight?
04:35You really are a glutton for punishment.
04:37If Jasmine killed Anthony, tell me where I can find her.
04:40What do I get out of it?
04:42Chrissie, come on.
04:43No.
04:44You want me to save Zoe?
04:45What am I going to get?
04:47Nothing.
04:47Give her nothing.
04:48Here, take this.
04:49You're pulling it.
04:50You're plastic trinkets.
04:52I don't want you to beg.
04:53Chrissie, enough.
04:56Go on.
04:58I beg you, where is my granddaughter?
05:01I want my daughter back.
05:03Stop tormenting her.
05:05Stop it.
05:07First time I saw Jasmine.
05:09She was working at the Continental Cafe in Peckham.
05:13You might want to try there.
05:14Cheers.
05:15Trace, grab my coat for us.
05:17No.
05:18Chrissie.
05:19Jake.
05:20So, is this an ambush?
05:22Oh, don't flatter yourself.
05:23I'm just here to support Kat.
05:25Sam, can you babysit these two for a few hours?
05:27She's told me where I might find Jasmine.
05:29What, and you can trust what she says?
05:31I've got no choice.
05:32I've got to find my granddaughter.
05:49I do know it's a funeral, not Paris Fashion Week.
05:53Fashion never has a day off.
05:55Kat, have you heard anything from Jasmine?
05:58Yeah, I've got to leave.
05:58I'm going to go and find her now.
05:59Well, Patrick, we'd love to see her today.
06:02It's her father's funeral.
06:03I'll try my hardest.
06:05I'm so sorry for your loss.
06:08Yes.
06:10Yes.
06:10I'm so sorry for her.
07:06Right, Jimmy's lunch and his snacks
07:09Do not touch his hummus, yeah, because as soon as he wakes up, he's gonna be starved
07:13That's why I've got it. It's all under control
07:17What's he doing?
07:18He likes bouncing his ideas off me. He says I represent the proletariat
07:23I don't think it's a compliment, to be honest
07:25Right, one second, Ian!
07:26No, no, no, no, um...
07:29I'm gonna try this for my new ticky-top campaign. Ready?
07:32I will be the councillor to make a...
07:35Beall difference!
07:41Oh, thanks for your support
07:43There was me thinking Elaine did me a favour by attacking Louis
07:46Me?
07:47Oh, no, it's made me focus my narrative on what is important
07:50Keeping children safe from childbeaters, Ian
07:54Can we just please drop this vendetta, yeah?
07:58Elaine was only defending her grandson
07:59She went for my son!
08:01Dad, whose side are you on?
08:03Lauren, we've been so focused on Jimmy, yeah, Louis felt neglected
08:05So he took it out on Ollie
08:07You can't blame Linda or Elaine for gunning for him
08:10Alright
08:13And I'm gonna be a rubbish councillor
08:14Oh, shut up, Ian! Who cares, anyway?
08:17We're just trying to lead by example, yeah?
08:20Lead by example?
08:22Who are you and what you've done with my dad?
08:24Listen, you're always having a go at me, aren't you?
08:26Just step up, be a better dad
08:27Nah, you just wanna get in Linda's pants
08:29I knew it, I knew I was right
08:30Things don't be disgusting
08:32Well, what is it then?
08:35Yeah, I've got feelings for her
08:38I dunno, Lauren, yeah, she might be the one
08:41Right
08:42I'm gonna be back at lunchtime to talk about this, alright?
08:44Until then, just don't do anything stupid
08:50Where's the hummus?
09:00Hot tray coming through
09:03Jasmine
09:05I am working, yeah?
09:07Take a break
09:08This is important
09:09My job is important, okay?
09:11I've got rent to pay
09:12Look, you've got family in Walford, we'll look after you
09:14Yeah, no thanks, I tried that, it didn't work, I moved on
09:17Why did you run away?
09:18Why didn't you go to the police like you said you would?
09:20I told you, I'm working
09:22Zoe's in prison for a murder she didn't commit
09:24You said you was gonna tell the police it was Chrissie, do you not think it was her anymore?
09:27Yes
09:27Right, then come back with me, yeah?
09:29Just long enough to get Chrissie behind bars and Zoe out of this
09:32No
09:33Leave me alone
09:39Oh, Mo, let me take your lingerie shopping
09:42Being old doesn't mean you have to wear grey pants
09:44Do you want to smack in the chops or what?
09:46Come on, Mo, I'll help you hang these out
09:48Do ya
09:54Mmm
09:56Damsels in distress
09:58Being saved by Prince Charming
10:00How progressive
10:01Oh, shut up
10:04My mum used to read this to me when I was a little girl
10:08You're telling me the woman that had me terrorised inside used to sit on her mummy's knee reading about princesses
10:15What's up with you?
10:17Let me give you a bit of my dad's advice
10:20Life's a bitch and then you die
10:25I was at the hospital this morning
10:29Getting my breast cancer results
10:34What's up, Mo? No gags about me fingering your undercrackers?
10:38What are you doing with Lady Mac?
10:41A nice chap like you
10:42Look, I know there's no love lost between you lot
10:45She's served her time and she always comes back fighting
10:48Why do you care anyway?
10:50Because you're family
10:51You can come and live with us
10:53Be an uncle to Alfie's boys
10:55It's tempting
10:57But after the last few days I think
10:59No, I know
11:02My future's with Chrissie
11:03You're mental
11:05Being tempted by some birds knickers
11:08Well I'm glad they're not mine
11:11No evidence of residual malignancy
11:14Lymph nodes
11:16Clear of metastatic disease
11:19That means you're cancer free
11:20And I need for mastectomy
11:23Yeah
11:27My mum had her breast removed, you know, when she had cancer before
11:32Today's the first time in years that I could really do with a cuddle from her
11:37You're stuck with me, sorry
11:40I've still got a complete course of radiotherapy but they've said that I can do that in Spain
11:45I'm going home at the end of the week
11:50I'm happy for you
11:52Genuinely
11:53And the little girl got to live happily ever after
11:57You know and this whole Xena warrior princess act that you've got going on
12:01You should drop it
12:03I mean if Jake is really your prince charming
12:06Just admit it
12:08Yeah, he's everything I ever dreamed of
12:11Oh
12:16Cheers see you later
12:20Still here are you?
12:22I don't know what your adoptive family are like but the Slaters don't give up on each other that easily
12:26No, you're more like a pack of hyenas ripping each other to shreds
12:29How do you work that out?
12:31You drive each other mad
12:33Mad enough for Zoe to run away from a rumour that her child had died without even bothering to ask
12:37for a receipt
12:38If you cared for Zoe that much you would help me put Chrissie behind bars
12:41I don't care
12:42What about you and Oscar?
12:45What about your other family?
12:46Patrick is burying his son today
12:48Your dad
12:49Patrick only knows me
12:51You're his granddaughter
12:52You're his blood
12:54He needs you by his side
12:56Jasmine it's okay to be overwhelmed
12:58You found and lost your mum and dad in a really bad way
13:01If you don't want to do this for me then do it for Zoe
13:03Right?
13:05Do it for your granddad
13:07Give him some hope on the worst day of his life
13:17A cup of tea love
13:19I can't remember the last time you made me a cup of tea
13:22It's because you never sit still long enough to drink it now
13:25Do you know what my mum used to say?
13:26You've got ants in your pants
13:28In recovery we call it restless, irritable and discontent
13:33Yeah but I'm not an alcoholic am I?
13:35I never said you was but we do have more in common than just our DNA dad
13:41And you said it yourself at my wedding didn't you?
13:44Always chasing the next high
13:47You know Linda's not a cheap thru
13:51I don't know honestly, I think she might be the one
13:55What about Stacey?
13:57Or Mum?
13:59Or the next poor cow you lock eyes with when you're taking the bins out?
14:02You're happy and yourself
14:05I was in love with Linda wasn't I?
14:06We used together before
14:09We was going to run away together
14:11Make a new life
14:13Yeah but
14:14She was married to Mick Dad
14:17So it was, it was dangerous and secretive
14:21That wasn't real?
14:22No of course it was
14:24It was real, Laura and I felt
14:27I wasn't sure if I was going to have the same feelings coming back
14:30But then found out about honey
14:32Don't know, all the feelings are still there aren't they?
14:37We've still got a connection
14:39If anything, strong in her
14:43Do you love her?
14:46I don't know
14:50Yeah, I don't know, maybe yeah
14:53Just think we owe it to Annie, you know?
14:55Just to give it a go
14:57Well I owe it to Linda to say this then
15:00The year before last
15:03She nearly killed herself with the most humiliating suicide mission that I've ever seen in my life
15:09It was really awful
15:13But she's sober
15:15She's clawed her life back and even better now
15:17Well she's a strong woman isn't she?
15:19But she doesn't have any more chances
15:22People like us when we fall off the wagon
15:24It's, it's not just a couple of Proseccos with the girls
15:28It's downing a gallon of vodka and falling down the stairs
15:33If you do have feelings for Linda then I think that you, you, you should tell her
15:39But if there is any doubt in your head then
15:43I think you should stay clear
15:46Linda won't survive another emotional battery
15:51When did you get so wise?
15:53Dunno
15:54It's not hereditary is it?
16:07Well done
16:13Sigh
16:14Sigh
16:15Sigh
16:15Sigh
16:15Sigh
16:15Sigh
16:15Sigh
16:18Sigh
16:18Yeah, she's right
16:20Almost a year since we all lost Martin
16:21Yeah, I still miss him like mad
16:23But now I can look back at the memories without it hurting too much
16:28Thank you for putting on this lovely spread
16:31Pleasure
16:31I'll get you a drink yeah?
16:38Sigh
16:43Sigh
16:44Sigh
16:44Where the hell is Kat?
16:46I dunno
16:47Might as well get a drink while we wait
16:48No
16:50Patrick don't need any driver today
16:53Chrissie, Jake, upstairs
17:07If Kat isn't back soon, I'm gonna find Jasmine myself
17:11You know who she is
17:13Er, who are you?
17:14Er, Oscar
17:18Jasmine's ex-boyfriend
17:19Boyfriend
17:21I coming, please
17:23Give him his big moment
17:27I was just curious to meet the woman that's got everyone shivering in the shadows
17:31I was expecting Thanos, yeah?
17:34I don't know what that means, but I'll take it as a compliment
17:36Yeah, I wasn't expecting the real housewives of Woolford
17:40What are you gonna do, stab me with a nail file?
17:42No, nail files always snap on the way through the windpipe
17:45What's 8106, Oscar?
17:46What, erm, 8 into...
17:49Yeah, come on, hurry
17:51Okay, what's your point?
17:52My point is, appearances can be deceptive
17:54But alas, not in your case
17:56You're as thick as you look
17:57I'm just a bully
18:00That's how you broke Jasmine's spirit
18:01She wanted to reconnect with her family
18:03You brainwashed them to hurt people
18:05The only person brainwashed isn't you
18:08Jasmine plays the doe-eyed orphan really well
18:11But she's a stone-cold killer
18:14She murdered Anthony Truman
18:16There
18:18That's a lie
18:20Oh, go away, little boy
18:22Jasmine's not a killer
18:24She's not you
18:25Come on, mate
18:25Before you regret it
18:50I see
18:53Patrick, people are asking if you want to say a few
18:56No, no, no, no, no, no. I want to go home now.
18:58All right, I'll get you a quarter.
18:59Thanks.
19:03Ah.
19:06May I join you?
19:08Yeah, of course. Thanks.
19:12Um, I know we don't know each other that well,
19:14but I just wanted to say I...
19:17I know what it feels like to lose a child.
19:20I've lost two, actually.
19:22Well, that makes you both of us, then.
19:25I lost Mel, this son, Paul, 21 years ago.
19:30Yeah.
19:31And now, Anthony?
19:35We're both members of a very small but unfortunate club.
19:41Yeah.
19:42You know, people here, they've been very kind.
19:46They say time is a great healer.
19:48They've told me that about 50 times today, you know.
19:53Yeah.
19:54Can I tell you a secret?
19:55What?
19:56I don't want to heal.
19:59Grief's the only thing I've got left of my babies.
20:02Yeah.
20:03Well, I don't want to stop feeling like this
20:05in case I forget my sons and them.
20:09See?
20:10Hmm.
20:13When I'm alone,
20:15I talk to my grief.
20:17Hmm?
20:18Sometimes I shout it.
20:20Make it your friend.
20:22Or make it your enemy,
20:23but don't let anyone tell you to let it go.
20:27It's none of their business if they're not in our club.
20:39I want to say a few words.
20:48Um, ladies and gentlemen, I...
20:53I want to say something.
20:58My son, Anthony?
21:01Hmm.
21:01The doctor.
21:04Yes, he was my pride and joy.
21:08And it breaks my heart that I didn't get the chance
21:11to tell him that when he was alive.
21:15But now that he gone...
21:17I can't do this.
21:18Yes, you can.
21:18Jasmine!
21:22Hi.
21:32I'm sorry I ran away.
21:34I'm...
21:35I'm just going to put my stuff down once again.
21:46She's still upstairs?
21:47Yeah.
21:48But she's running out of patience.
21:55Can I borrow her a minute?
21:56Yeah, but don't be longing.
21:59Mum, I'm here to see Patrick.
22:00Upstairs, please.
22:10What are you kidding me?
22:11You are hurting me!
22:13Why'd you bring me back here?
22:14Oi!
22:16You lied to me.
22:17You killed Anthony,
22:18and you blamed it on me.
22:19Because you did it.
22:20You were in my head for months.
22:22I'm not taking the blame for murder.
22:23You tell her the truth!
22:24No!
22:24Don't touch her!
22:25Don't touch her!
22:25Don't touch her!
22:25Get off her!
22:26Tell her downstairs!
22:27Tell her the truth!
22:28No!
22:29Not while you're fretting her.
22:33You tricked me!
22:34I had to.
22:36Jasmine, I need to.
22:37Jasmine, I need to know the truth!
22:40I need more flamingos in here.
22:41You can tell her that.
22:47So, a lie can travel the world before the truth has even got her heels on.
22:53What?
22:54There I was at the butcher's, I'm a nice bit of gammon, but they refused to serve me, because
22:58apparently I've been questioned about accosting a child.
23:01Oh, Mum.
23:02We can sue him for slander, Gran.
23:04No, it's Ian Bloomin' Beal!
23:06I'll sue him, and then I'll kill him.
23:08I know you've had a rough few days, but this ongoing row with Ian, it's got to stop.
23:13What, and let him get away with all this?
23:14I just think you should take a breath before you make the wrong decision.
23:18Oh, well, thanks for the support.
23:25Mum, don't be so hard on her.
23:27Ian was bang out of order reporting her like that.
23:29Oh, it's a grudge match.
23:30You know, they're as bad as each other.
23:33She gets an idea in her head, and won't let it go, and then wonders why it ends in tears.
23:37Okay, well, look, do you want me to talk to Ian?
23:40Oh, there's no need.
23:41No.
23:42Super Max is flying to the rescue, but there'll be some hidden agenda.
23:46There are two things I don't trust about Max.
23:49Everything he says, and everything he does.
23:50Oh, she just gets an idea in her head, and she won't let it go, and then she wonders why
23:55it all ends in tears.
23:56Oh, I'm turning into one.
23:58Mum, Annie deserves a mum and a dad who get on.
24:02So just drop this grudge and give Max a chance.
24:05I did.
24:06I did.
24:07I tried.
24:08And then he lived down to my expectations yet again.
24:11God, I can't believe I'm back here.
24:12Well, then just make it clear that you just want to be friends.
24:15Mum, men are better at understanding boundaries these days.
24:18There's men, and then there's Max Branning.
24:26You say this family is like a pack of hyenas ripping each other to shreds.
24:32You haven't been around long enough to see the other side of us.
24:36We laugh so hard our ribs hurt.
24:40The slate of cackle.
24:42Yeah, a pack of hyenas, I suppose.
24:46And we fight till the death for the people that we love.
24:51And that's why I can't see Zoe go down for a murder she didn't commit.
24:57Jasmine, whatever happens at Christmas, yeah?
25:00Tell me the truth and I promise I won't grass you up.
25:03I'll let Chrissie go down for it.
25:08Zoe would rather spend the rest of her life in prison
25:11than to trade places with you.
25:14Because she wouldn't want to ruin your life a second time.
25:18Because she loves you so much.
25:21So please, just tell me the truth.
25:24And I promise I'll keep you out of prison.
25:31If you don't tell me the truth, I can't protect you, all right?
25:36You will waste your life on the run
25:38and Zoe will be locked up for decades.
25:43I know you want a family and a boyfriend and a normal life
25:46and that's what you deserve.
25:47And you can have all that if you just tell me the truth.
25:52Please, Jasmine.
25:55Did you kill Anthony?
26:02Yes.
26:11One man.
