00:13It was you.
00:15I didn't mean to kill him.
00:16You did it. You killed Anthony. Why would you do that?
00:18I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry.
00:20I don't know what it's been like for me. I can't go to prison.
00:23Now Zoe's rotting in a cell.
00:25There's something that you did and she's scared for her life.
00:27You said you weren't going to gross me up. I'll run away again.
00:29I'll run away and you're never going to find me.
00:31Why did you say it was Chrissie when it wasn't?
00:32Because she deserves everything that she gets.
00:36I just wanted to find my mum.
00:38Oh, Jasmine, come here, darling. Come here.
00:41Listen, listen to me. I promise I won't gross you up, all right?
00:43Zoe doesn't want to see you behind bars. I just want to get her out of there.
00:47How?
00:47I don't know.
00:49Well, you wanted me to confess. You said you were going to protect me.
00:52This is too much for me to take in.
00:55All right.
00:56Come and sit down. Sit down.
01:00Right. Tell me exactly what happened.
01:04I came here. I came here to tell Zoe that I was her daughter.
01:09And then I saw Anthony standing over her body.
01:13Like, she was lying on the floor and he was so angry.
01:17My poor girl.
01:18I didn't know to...
01:20He didn't know I was here.
01:22So I took my phone out and I started filming him.
01:26I thought he was going to hit her again. It was horrible.
01:30Did you help her?
01:31No.
01:32Because he saw me.
01:33And when he saw me, he came at me.
01:35And so I ran into the kitchen and I grabbed the salt lamp thing and I hit him on the
01:40head with it.
01:41And then when he fell on the floor...
01:44When he fell on the floor, I knew what I'd done. I knew I'd killed him.
01:47It was self-defence.
01:49We can get the lamp.
01:50We can get the lamp and then we can plot it on Chrissie.
01:52Because you said you'd let her take the blame for this, right?
01:54I don't know. Just slow down.
01:55What do you mean you have to help me?
01:57You must have been so scared.
01:59Yeah. That's why I ran away.
02:01I must have missed you by seconds.
02:02I came up.
02:03Found Zoe unconscious.
02:05She woke up. We see Anthony dead.
02:07She thought she'd killed him.
02:11I couldn't have planned it if I tried.
02:12I mean, I didn't mean for this to happen.
02:14Oh, I know.
02:15If anyone's to blame you, it's Anthony for attacking Zoe.
02:17Yeah, you would have killed her.
02:19You would have killed her if I didn't stop him.
02:22Oh, come on. I know. I know, darling.
02:24Thank you, my darling.
02:31Hey, all right.
02:33Louis, what's I say? Sorry.
02:35Can I show him in?
02:37Ollie, do you want to see Louis?
02:40All right, bring him in.
02:46I'm very sorry for being horrible.
02:49I mean it this time.
02:50I'm ashamed I treated you like that.
02:53I accept your apology.
02:56Oi.
02:57I'm sorry to you too, Mrs. Carter.
03:05If you've hurt him again, I'll call the police, OK?
03:10Why don't you sit with Ollie and Annie
03:12while I have a quick chat with your grandad?
03:14I don't think.
03:20It's all right.
03:22I've had word with Bill as well, so...
03:24it won't give your mum any more grief.
03:27No, just like that, it's all forgotten.
03:30Kids don't bear grudges, do they?
03:34Um, do you fancy having a drink this evening?
03:38What, just you and me?
03:40No, you, me, mum and Ian.
03:42Of course, just you and me.
03:44We owe it to Annie to be the parent she deserves.
03:47Ah, yeah.
03:48Yeah, sounds lovely.
03:50Good.
04:01Any news?
04:03She's up there alone with Cat at this moment.
04:06Cat's a fool to be left alone with her.
04:09I'm going up.
04:09Stay here.
04:11You're here to clear your name,
04:12not get a new charge of GBH.
04:17Vicky.
04:19Chrissie.
04:21I haven't seen you since you killed my dad
04:23and buried him in the barrel store.
04:25How do you keep him?
04:26I'll serve my time.
04:28Yeah, well, Sharon might have forgiven you.
04:30I haven't.
04:31I thought you'd see, er,
04:33survivors of abusive men
04:34be punished for the rest of their lives, would you?
04:37My dad is not here to defend himself.
04:39I get it.
04:40It might be the same if someone killed my dad.
04:43Then my dad wasn't anything like Den Watts.
04:47We've got a team, you and me.
04:48No.
04:50No.
04:51I'm not going to apologise
04:52for defending me and my friends
04:55from a man who was trying to kill us all.
04:59Whatever.
05:01Look, this has been lovely,
05:02but, er, I think I'll have more fun at the wake.
05:07I'll join you.
05:14Come on, Cat.
05:18Hey, hey, Sam.
05:19Have you seen Jasmine?
05:21Cat said she'd only take a minute.
05:23Er, I reckon it's to do with Zoe's trial.
05:26Why?
05:26Do you know something we don't?
05:27I can't let that one Jasmine here with me, man.
05:31Yeah, I know, Pops.
05:33Just give him a minute and she'll be back now, yeah?
05:42Are you all right there, Granny?
05:44Are we going on a date or are we joining the First Day Murder Club?
05:46It's not a date.
05:48This is two platonic co-parents having a drink
05:51to talk about being platonic co-parents.
05:54Yeah, no, you're all right.
05:54I shouldn't tease.
05:55I'm tough for any, though.
05:56Mm.
05:57Tease away.
05:58I am taking my lead from my gorgeous son
06:00who shows me how to live with humility and optimism every day.
06:03No, Mum.
06:04Talking about Ollie.
06:05Oh, the cheek of it.
06:07I thank you for the nudge.
06:09Now, Annie deserves a mum and dad who get along.
06:11I need to make some sort of effort with Max.
06:14And who says a man and a woman can't just be friends?
06:21Have a four-part of your...
06:23Reckonise this.
06:24Have a four-part of your...
06:26Are you all right?
06:28Oh, that was thank you, Trudy.
06:31Vin's going to love those.
06:32Great job.
06:33Keep the change.
06:34Take care.
06:35Take care.
06:40Yeah.
06:43I understand why you didn't go to the police.
06:45You thought you murdered Anthony, but it was self-defense.
06:48Yeah, but isn't that still a life sentence?
06:49You've got it on video.
06:50It changes everything.
06:53I'm not risking it.
06:54I don't want to spend the rest of my life in jail.
06:56Oh, and so he does.
06:58But...
06:59But what?
07:00You're happy with her going down for your crime?
07:02No.
07:03So you was going to confess at some point?
07:04Yes.
07:05When?
07:06Eh?
07:07Before or after she'd been sent down for life?
07:08I didn't have a plan, all right?
07:10I panicked.
07:11I didn't have time to think.
07:12I haven't been able to think straight since it happened.
07:14Okay.
07:15You ran away from Anthony and Zoe.
07:18I do get that.
07:19Yeah.
07:20But then you came back an hour later to tell Zoe that you're her daughter.
07:26You looked Zoe in the eyes and you ripped her heart out,
07:30blaming her for abandoning you and your brother in hospital.
07:33So?
07:33But you didn't let on that you knew Anthony's body was upstairs.
07:37I panicked.
07:38I panicked.
07:38I keep saying you panicked.
07:39But the girl that sat in front of me and Zoe, she wasn't panicking.
07:42She was cold and clear-headed.
07:45You tortured Zoe, right?
07:47For abandoning you when you knew she was already messed up about Anthony.
07:50It all happened so fast.
07:52I didn't have time to think, okay?
07:54Kidding Anthony was an accident.
07:56Yeah, I know.
07:57It got out of control.
07:58But you coming back to the scene of the crime an hour later, that was your choice.
08:04You chose to turn the screw on Zoe, knowing that she was going through the worst moment of her life.
08:09It wasn't like that.
08:10Was this little orphan jazzy sob story, what was it, a performance?
08:13No!
08:14You tormented Zoe for months.
08:17You scared the life out of her.
08:18I told you that was Chrissie's idea, okay?
08:21She manipulated me.
08:22How can I believe a word you say now?
08:25Huh?
08:25Earlier, earlier you thanked me for saving Zoe's life.
08:31Now, do you think I'm some kind of monster?
08:34The answer's obvious, isn't it?
08:36What are you going to do with her?
08:44Oh, thank you.
08:46But my birthday was actually last week.
08:48Okay.
08:49Nice try.
08:51Right, so, sorry, what are we actually waiting for?
08:54Look, can we just wait for George to arrive, please?
08:56Yeah?
08:58Gee.
08:59I'm so sorry, I forgot your birthday.
09:01Yeah, you did.
09:03Don't worry, you did miss a good night, though.
09:05I bet.
09:07Isn't that nice?
09:10Yeah.
09:11It means a lot to both of us.
09:14Oh, darling.
09:15You all right, mate?
09:16Okay, but I wasn't expecting you.
09:18Two minutes, you said, yeah?
09:20Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:21Are you ready?
09:22Always ready.
09:24And action!
09:26Oh, right, we're actually doing this, are we?
09:29Okay, yes, yes.
09:30So, um, as you know, George and I, uh, come from the hospital.
09:35No, no, no, no, this is not a gender reveal party.
09:37This is for George, okay?
09:39It wasn't around last time, so just throw him a bone, please.
09:44Excuse me.
09:45Excuse me.
09:45There you go.
09:47Oh, yeah.
09:48Yeah.
09:49Er, Nicola and I would like to announce that we are expecting...
09:56Woo-hoo!
09:58Woo-hoo!
09:58Woo-hoo!
09:59Woo-hoo!
09:59Woo-hoo!
10:00Woo-hoo!
10:00Woo-hoo!
10:00Woo-hoo!
10:01Woo-hoo!
10:01Woo-hoo!
10:02Oh, another baby sister!
10:05Oh, Anna's going to be really happy.
10:07Yeah.
10:07You hear that, Vaughn?
10:08Baby sister?
10:09Yeah.
10:10I'm happy for you.
10:11Thanks, mate.
10:13Um, is he all right?
10:15Yeah.
10:15Yeah, it's progress.
10:17Come here.
10:18Oh, little girl, eh?
10:20Yeah.
10:21It's starting to feel real, innit?
10:22I know.
10:23So, er, is there anything else you want to tell us?
10:28Er, no.
10:29That's it.
10:30No?
10:32Cos if you two are going to be more than, you know, co-parents to this kid,
10:37could you just tell my dad first, please?
10:39Something to tell him, Harry.
10:41Could you just stop filming, Kojo?
10:42Yeah.
10:44Right, well, I guess the big question is, oh, thank you,
10:48erm, what are we going to call her?
10:50Yeah.
10:51What about Ali?
10:53Short for Alison.
10:54Ali?
10:55Yeah, that's short for Alison.
10:56It's nothing to do with Muhammad Ali.
10:58What?
11:00Don't joke.
11:07Hey.
11:08You all right?
11:12Look, look at you.
11:13Huh?
11:14Make me feel like a right scruffy cow.
11:16Is that no tie?
11:16No, that's a special occasion, innit?
11:19Yeah.
11:21Got you these.
11:23Oh.
11:24Oh, wow.
11:25Got some sh-sh-sh-no.
11:27Ah, yeah.
11:28You really...
11:28Er, see.
11:30Right.
11:31A little drink?
11:32What do you want?
11:33Something softer?
11:34Erm, I'm fine with water.
11:35What's sparking?
11:36What's tap... tap is fine.
11:38Tap water?
11:38Yeah.
11:39Er, just that one.
11:43Yeah?
11:43She didn't kill him.
11:45You don't believe that.
11:46She told me where she was when it happened, and I believe her.
11:50You lying niggas.
11:51Don't!
11:52You touch her again!
11:53Get out of your bill!
11:53Chrissie, don't!
11:54Don't!
11:55You're still on parole.
12:00Well, it's time to go.
12:01I thought you wanted to clear your name.
12:03Well, that's clearly not going to happen.
12:05Blood is thicker than water.
12:06It ain't like that.
12:07She did not kill him.
12:09You are on borrowed time.
12:11Get lost!
12:11I wish I'd never met you.
12:13Oh, the feeling's mutual, sweetheart.
12:16Say bye to Alfie, right?
12:18If you and the boys ever need me, just give me a call, yeah?
12:20Yeah, cheers.
12:20You're going to need more than Uncle Jake to protect those boys with her around.
12:24Zoe's inside.
12:25She's going to poison your family from the inside out.
12:28Bye.
12:29Chrissie.
12:36So, Annie's sat on a loo in the B&B, and she calls out, I'm finished!
12:41And then she asks one of the guests to come and wipe her bum.
12:45That's a classic.
12:46Yeah!
12:47I said to Mum, they'd better not put that on TripAdvisor.
12:52I was thinking that maybe you could pick up Annie from nursery on Tuesdays and...
12:59Shh, shh, shh, shh.
12:59Listen to me.
13:00You've got to be nervous, all right?
13:02No, no, no, no, no, no.
13:04What are you doing?
13:06Why not?
13:07Because I don't want to.
13:10Why?
13:13I thought I made it clear that we were here to talk about Annie, you know, co-parenting.
13:17Yeah, but you ain't talked about anything else.
13:20As friends, though.
13:21Yeah, but that's how the best relationship started.
13:24I've spent ages listening to you talking about bum-wiping.
13:26I mean, if that ain't a friend, I don't know what is.
13:29Don't you care about your own daughter?
13:30Yeah, of course I do.
13:36I'm sorry, all right?
13:40Max.
13:42Do you know what it took for me to kiss you last week?
13:47I don't go on dates.
13:48I don't kiss men.
13:51There's been no love in my life since Mick died.
13:53Yeah, I know that.
13:54So why did you ruin it by lying?
13:57I didn't lie, did I?
13:59Just a bit slow telling the truth, maybe.
14:04I don't want us to fall out, all right?
14:05I want you to be part of Annie's life.
14:08But I need to be absolutely clear.
14:10There will never, ever be an us.
14:13I can't risk it for me or Annie.
14:25I have some news too, but I don't have a balloon to pop.
14:28Okay, mate.
14:29What is it?
14:30My old flat is abateable.
14:32I'll move it back to number 89C.
14:35Oh, Kojo, I know you want your independence,
14:39but I don't think that's a good idea.
14:41I don't think that's right.
14:42Yeah, mate, nothing but bad things happen there.
14:44Yeah, it's full of ghosts.
14:45I don't believe in ghosts.
14:47No, no, it's a saying, Kojo.
14:49It means that bad things happen there.
14:50Stop it.
14:52You're wrong, Kwame.
14:53I don't want to give up on my independence.
14:56Well, I get that, but I could find you a new flat.
15:00I don't want a new flat.
15:02I want my old flat.
15:03I know which floorboard creaks.
15:05I know how long to run the tap before the water gets hot.
15:08It's my decision.
15:09I'm moving back.
15:11Kojo, mate.
15:16Gina.
15:19Happy birthday.
15:24Go on.
15:25Thank you for defending me.
15:27I didn't tell Chrissie because I want to keep it contained,
15:30but I ain't a mug.
15:31I never said you were.
15:33Where's that video you took?
15:34I mean, take it to the police.
15:35Why can't we frame Chrissie?
15:36It was self-defence.
15:37We don't need to.
15:38You said you wanted me to be a part of your family.
15:41Why run the risk of going to trial?
15:43Just show me the phone.
15:44I told you, I'm on your side.
15:47I think my bags don't sleep.
15:49I'll go get it.
15:51Listen, don't hate me for this,
15:53but I'm not letting you out my sight.
15:57Jasmine's out of control.
15:59She'll get what she deserves soon enough.
16:01I don't care about her.
16:04Little people, little houses, little broken dreams.
16:09Let's go home now.
16:11Together.
16:12Why?
16:14What's changed?
16:15You and I, we're great when we're on the same team fighting a war,
16:19but in real life, we're not good.
16:22Don't we deserve another chance?
16:23I thought so.
16:24Nineteen years.
16:26We set up a business, got a home together,
16:29and then you went and conspired to get me arrested for a murder
16:32I didn't commit.
16:33Not trusting you was the biggest mistake of my life.
16:38Second biggest, Jake.
16:40Jake, you murdered your own brother.
16:44Why would you say that?
16:47I never wanted to come back here, Jake.
16:50You tricked me into it, and that really hurts.
16:53And I intend to make it up to you.
16:56How?
16:56I've got to see Phil first.
16:58Phil?
17:00Go and get yourself a drink.
17:02I'll be an hour.
17:03Tops.
17:20Where is it?
17:21I don't know.
17:24Try it.
17:25Has anyone handed a bag in?
17:26What colour?
17:27What colour is it?
17:28Black.
17:28Black.
17:29No, sorry.
17:30Sorry.
17:38Oscar, Oscar, have you seen my bag?
17:40It's got my phone in it.
17:41That's all I get.
17:43You sent a text and left it.
17:45What have you done you couldn't say to my face?
17:48That was not a good time, Pete.
17:51Trace, bring the belt for us.
17:54Has anyone seen a black bag?
17:56Is that it?
17:57No, that's mine, and it's dark navy.
17:59It goes in my coat.
18:00It sure looks black.
18:01No, I'd say that's midnight blue.
18:03Siobhan the Bond in the high street said it's dark navy.
18:05She knows my colour.
18:06Look, please, can you just lock this black handbag?
18:08It's really important.
18:12Jasmine!
18:18Jasmine!
18:20Jasmine!
18:31I think you left this at the bar.
18:33Oh, thanks.
18:35Most of drag queens around here couldn't afford anything so tasteful.
18:38Well, we're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
18:41Oh, Oscar Wilde.
18:43What was that famous other quote?
18:45Do you like his work, too?
18:46Not as much as I like proving I'm not a damn blonde.
18:51I'm Chrissy Watts.
18:52Oh, Watts.
18:54Any relation to Sharon?
18:56Yeah, through marriage.
18:57Are you friends with her?
18:58No, not really.
19:00I ran off with her bloke about 200 years ago.
19:03I'll to grudge that one.
19:04Doesn't she just?
19:06I'm Cindy.
19:07Cindy Beale.
19:09Beale?
19:09You related to Ian?
19:11By marriage, unfortunately.
19:15So what brings you to my glorious establishment?
19:19I'm, um, I'm arranging a surprise for someone.
19:22Oh, right.
19:23Well, if you want shampoos, party poppers, just give me a shower.
19:29Oh, I remember that quote.
19:31True friends, they stab you in the front.
19:35I like that one.
19:44So you didn't catch her, then?
19:45How do you see her sitting here?
19:47Don't start on me.
19:48Sorry, Nan, but that little witch has been mugging me right off.
19:52She told me she had a video on her phone proving that she killed Anthony in self-defence,
19:55but she lied to me.
19:56She lied just to get away from me.
19:58So Zoe's still being down?
19:59Yeah, and looking at her life sentence.
20:02All this for nothing.
20:03I can't believe I'm saying this, but you should have listened to Chrissy from the start.
20:06After what she did to Zoe over den, it was like trusting a cobra not to bite me.
20:12Let her down.
20:14She needs me the most.
20:16Call old Bill now.
20:18Get them out looking for Jasmine.
20:20No, I wouldn't want that.
20:21If she knew that Jasmine killed him, she'd confess to the murder just to protect her.
20:25Oh, what, and doing a life stretch is going to make up for abandoning her?
20:28I can't believe what I'm hearing here.
20:30Jasmine, that little kid, is running rings around the entire Slater family,
20:34and what, and you're just sitting here letting her get further away?
20:37What else can I do?
20:38Kat, you've got to do the right thing.
20:40For your family and for the Trumans.
20:44You've got to fight fire with fire.
20:50Your granddaughter couldn't bear to spend two minutes with me at her own father's week.
20:57I'm sorry.
20:59You went to learn?
21:00Weeks are full of singing and music.
21:03It's a celebration of life, family, and hope.
21:08There isn't a shred of hope in my heart, Tilly.
21:25That's your drink.
21:26I'll be a minute, Dad.
21:31Many rivers to cross
21:36But I can't seem to find
21:40My way over
21:46Wondering on along
21:49As I travel along
21:54While that cliff's tucked over
21:59Many rivers to cross
22:04And it's only my will
22:13Well done.
22:15It's a good thing you've done it.
22:16Yeah.
22:19Can you explain a moment to me, Dad?
22:21Because I get really confused.
22:23Yeah.
22:24No.
22:25You and me both.
22:30I'm going to be right back.
22:35Bye.
22:35Bye.
22:36Bye.
22:36Bye.
22:37Boys.
22:40I thought you'd scarpered.
22:41I nearly did.
22:42I've gone and lost the phone
22:43With all of the evidence that this was self-defense
22:45As if it ever existed.
22:48Why'd you come back anyway?
22:49Because you're right.
22:51I don't want to spend my life running away.
22:53I owe it to Zoe.
22:56But, look, we don't need my phone anymore.
22:59Okay?
22:59Because I went to get this.
23:02It was to let you use it.
23:05We can wipe my prints off of this.
23:06And then we can plant it on Chrissie.
23:08And we can prove that this was her.
23:12I thought you'd be happier.
23:13We're going to get Zoe back.
23:18I thought you'd be happier.
23:28We're going to get Zoe back.
23:31Who do you call it?
23:32The police.
23:34I'm going to report you for killing Danny.
23:36Why?
23:37Because I want you to feel as betrayed as I do.
23:40But at least I'm doing it to your face.
23:42That's what real friends do.
23:43Chrissie.
23:44Chrissie, don't do this.
23:46He was my brother.
23:47It was an accident, all right?
23:49It was the worst moment of my life.
23:51I don't care.
23:51Yes.
23:52Yes, you do care.
23:54You love me and we love each other.
23:57What are you doing?
23:58Chrissie Watts.
24:02Will you marry me?
24:05Are you mad?
24:06You just betrayed me.
24:08No.
24:09I was protecting my family.
24:11I was your family.
24:12And you still are.
24:14Look, I'm sorry I hurt you.
24:16I'm sorry I broke your trust.
24:18You are the only one that matters to me.
24:20Please.
24:21Please, will you marry me?
24:27I love you too, Jake.
24:31Yeah.
24:32Yeah, I will marry you.
24:43If you didn't call the old bills,
24:45who are they coming for?
24:48Cat or Jasmine must have grasped me up.
24:51Bring you home.
24:53Well, we could just do one.
24:55Come?
24:56Come on.
24:57Come on.
25:02Come on.
25:03Come on.
25:07Come on.
25:26You didn't.
25:27I'm sorry.
25:28Are they here for me?
25:29There's so many lies.
25:30I thought you'd done a runner.
25:32I came back.
25:38I'm sorry.
25:38Jasmine Fisher.
25:39Hey.
25:40This is my son's wig.
25:41She's over here.
25:42No.
25:42Jasmine Fisher.
25:44Yes.
25:44You repeat what you told the operator.
25:46She's confessed to killing Anthony Truman.
25:49What?
25:51Do you have a response to these accusations?
25:56Right, Jasmine Fisher, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Anthony Truman.
25:59You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence.
26:02If you do not mention him in question, some of you lack reliant in court.
26:05And if you do say, he may be given in evidence.
26:09You don't preserve us.
26:11Some of you didn't do it.
26:12There's a video. There's a video that proves what really happened.
26:15It's on my phone in my black bag, okay?
26:17You need to find it and hand it in to the police.
26:18Zoe will never forgive you for this.
26:21I don't care as long as she's praying.
26:22What's happening, Kat?
26:23What's going on? Kat, what's happening?
26:25Kat!
26:26Kat!
