00:24I've just got back from
00:25Walford Town Hall where I've been voted in once again as your counsellor for Walford East.
00:30Now I can't wait to roll up my sleeves and get stuck into the matters that matter most to you.
00:36Eels! More eels!
00:38Don't forget those eels!
00:40Eels!
00:40Really? Are you that childish?
00:42Help me, they're only having a lie.
00:44Actually, Ian, if you are concerned about helping us all, I feel that my identity's been stolen.
00:53Someone is using my real name, Susan Mitchell.
00:56Susan? Is that your real name?
00:58I had no idea.
00:59Yeah, it is.
01:00Yeah, I keep getting all these letters, all these credit cards, and I've never applied for one.
01:04And these cards, I don't know whether to open the envelopes.
01:07All right.
01:09See ya.
01:10All right.
01:15Keys?
01:15Have you got spares at the restaurant?
01:17I'm not going out anyway.
01:18Go on!
01:19Clear off!
01:19Why are you rushing me?
01:21Have you got a fancy man coming round?
01:22Oh, you got me.
01:25Right.
01:26See ya.
01:27See ya!
01:48Hi.
01:49Hi.
01:50Bruce.
01:51Come in.
01:54Nice house.
01:56Thanks.
01:57Bit big.
01:58Just me and the baby.
02:00So you'll be on your own looking after Eddie?
02:02Are you sure you're going to be able to cope?
02:04Do I look like someone who can't cope with what life throws at me?
02:07Besides, I've got two grown sons, so I can lean on them if I have to.
02:12I was going to get some pictures of Eddie and my dad back in the day putting a frame for
02:16him,
02:17but you know what it's like when you try and lay your hands on something.
02:20Well, as I said before, it's good of you to want to help your dad told me.
02:24I noticed the pub, Queen Victoria.
02:26It's in my notes that George Knight used to be landlord.
02:29Oh, yeah.
02:30Yeah, till he's split from his missus.
02:31I don't know where he is now, though.
02:32Right.
02:34Where do you want to start?
02:35Well, I just have a wander around on my own.
02:38Unless there's something you don't want me to see.
02:41I've got nothing to hide.
02:43Knock yourself out.
02:55Lovely, Harvey.
02:56Sure.
02:56I'll get the receipt just in case.
02:58No, no.
02:58I love it.
03:00Hey.
03:01I love you.
03:02Mwah.
03:03Happy birthday.
03:05Hi, Marie.
03:07One decaf Americano and one latte, please.
03:11Treat you to the donut?
03:12No, thank you.
03:14Just the coffee then, please.
03:16Donuts usually cheer you up.
03:18I told you I'm fine.
03:19Mum, we both know you had your heart set on being a councillor.
03:23And you'd have won by a landslide if Toadie Beal hadn't released that video full of lies.
03:27No, I'm over it, honestly.
03:29And by the way, it was Bea who made the video.
03:32Bea?
03:33After everything we've done for her.
03:35I know.
03:35I think Ian was genuinely upset about the whole thing.
03:39I noticed a different side to him yesterday after the election.
03:44The thing is...
03:44It's great.
03:44If that bull cop gets stuck again, just give it a week off.
03:48Surprised to see you getting your hands dirty.
03:50I thought that was Bea's job.
03:55You, er...
03:56You all right?
03:58Never better.
03:59You?
04:00Yeah.
04:01Yeah.
04:02Yeah.
04:02Good.
04:05Oh, Ian.
04:06Ian, look.
04:07You are a page three boy.
04:09Aww.
04:10See?
04:11Aww.
04:11Look at us.
04:13Don't we look good together?
04:14We all look so happy.
04:16Oh.
04:17Oh.
04:18Look at the caption.
04:19I wonder...
04:19I've got some business.
04:20I'll catch you later, yeah.
04:24Well, we're sure all my placements are as easy as this.
04:26I'll arrange the transfer as soon as I can.
04:28Great.
04:29Thanks.
04:30How many steps have you got leading up to the house?
04:32Oh, I dunno.
04:33Er...
04:33Eight?
04:34Ten?
04:34There is a lift, but it's broken.
04:36They'll be bringing Eddie in in their wheelchair, so I'll let them know.
04:40This is my eldest, Harry.
04:42Harry, this is Bruce.
04:44He's Eddie Knight's probation officer.
04:46He's just checking over the place before he comes to stay.
05:13You could murder a couple.
05:15What?
05:16Max and Cindy living together.
05:18Do me a favour.
05:20That's murder-suicide right there in the making.
05:22Well, that's what I said, but Jack's hoping it'll keep...
05:25It'll keep back around for Lauren.
05:28What?
05:28And Oscar.
05:29Oh...
05:29Oh.
05:30Tired?
05:31Oh.
05:32Is Jack keeping you up all night, is he?
05:34Yeah!
05:35Oh!
05:37Oh!
05:38Oh!
05:39Hey!
05:40Hey, hey, hey!
05:41It's easy!
05:43Great!
05:44How was it really done?
05:45It did me the poorer good.
05:47Oh, yeah.
05:48Oh, that's good.
05:48Well, this one, he's been tracking your flight on some app of Josh's.
05:52I knew the minute he landed.
05:54Yeah!
05:54And so did I.
05:55You know, I think the pilot was still wearing his, um, L-plate.
06:00Well, you look good.
06:02How you feeling now?
06:04Back to my old self.
06:06Oh, yes.
06:08Yeah, man!
06:09It's so good to be old!
06:12Yeah, man!
06:14Come on, that man, tell me, what have I been missing?
06:18Well, Denise and Jack are buying Linda out of the salon,
06:21which is where I've been doing some shifts.
06:23Yes, you know, teamwork, make-to-dream work and all of that,
06:27you know, keeping it in the family.
06:28And Jasmine has been doing great at the Vic.
06:30I mean, I'd make a joke about her belonging behind bars, but...
06:33Patrick doesn't need to be worrying about Jasmine
06:35as soon as he steps through the door.
06:40He's dying, Harry, all right?
06:42It'll only be a few weeks.
06:43George has agreed,
06:44cos G said he doesn't want anything to do with him.
06:47We'll cross that bridge when we come to him.
06:48Gina!
06:49I had to do something.
06:51Harry, you begged me not to sell the bar.
06:54I had to find the money from somewhere.
06:56I don't want that racist here any more than Gina does.
06:59We need his money.
07:00Look, I'm going to tell him, all right?
07:01Keep that shit.
07:05Hey, how was Kojo?
07:07Excited about later.
07:10I'm going to go.
07:11I'll see you at the naming ceremony.
07:14Yeah.
07:18Well, did you get your bonding time with Ivy then?
07:23Actually, no.
07:25I lied to you.
07:27I just said that to get you out of the house.
07:30I had Eddie's probation officer look over the place,
07:34and they approved it.
07:44Here you go.
07:46Oh, cheers.
07:48Well, go on, budge up.
07:56It's been a while since I was thrown out of a moving vehicle.
08:00I think the last time was a van, if my memory serves me right.
08:05I'm not leaving this bench till you tell me what's going on, Mark.
08:09Come on.
08:10Tell Auntie Sam.
08:14I owe money.
08:17Right.
08:18And it's the same lot that beat you up when you first turned up?
08:21A bloke called Delaney.
08:25Russell?
08:26Yeah.
08:27What, you know him?
08:28Yeah.
08:29Yeah, I mean, from years ago.
08:32So he's still around, is he?
08:34Yeah.
08:36I'm buying my way out, but...
08:38just not fast enough for his liking, I guess.
08:42Well, you do know what I'm going to say, don't you?
08:44Nah, nah.
08:45Phil's already made it clear that he's helped enough.
08:47No, no, I'm not talking about Phil.
08:50No.
08:51No, absolutely not.
08:53I decided years ago I would never ask Grant for anything.
09:02Look.
09:03When Phil first told me about Grant, I came over here, you know.
09:10You weren't about then.
09:13I got to spend some time with him.
09:16See him in action, what sort of bloke he is.
09:19And I made my own mind up then.
09:23Mark, I get it, alright?
09:26But times change.
09:28You're both here, same time, same place.
09:31You need money.
09:32And he's got it.
09:34Mark, do you know I think the most important thing of all of this
09:38is that Grant actually wants to help you.
09:41I know you don't think of him as your dad,
09:44but he definitely sees you as his son.
09:51Yes! Another game!
09:53No, no, that ain't later.
09:54Give Patrick a rest, yeah?
09:57Hey, go and look in the bag on the bed and you're going to find a present just for you.
10:02Oh, he was so excited about you coming back.
10:08He pretended to have a tummy ache so he could get off school today.
10:11Just so he could see you.
10:13Yeah.
10:13Yeah, well, he was excited, so yeah.
10:16Yeah, yeah, so I remember Anthony once said that he pretended to be ill to get off school.
10:23And then he became a doctor.
10:25Oh.
10:27Hey, you see I can talk about him.
10:31I'm healing.
10:33Yeah.
10:34You know, there's nothing quite like standing barefoot in the sand and watching the waves coming and going to realize
10:41that life carries on.
10:45I remember, I think it's when Abby died.
10:49Thought she was in pieces.
10:51She kept asking why is it that she is still alive and people younger than her just being taken away
10:58from her.
10:59Yeah, that is how I feel.
11:03Well, I'd probably carry on feeling the same way for as long as I live, but as I told Dot,
11:09we just got to keep on living our lives.
11:17Loving and being loved.
11:21So, where does Jasmine fit into all that?
11:26I can talk to her today.
11:29No point in putting it off, is there?
11:32Okay.
11:32Mm-hmm.
11:33Well, that is not something we're going to let you do alone.
11:38You got any idea what you're going to say to her?
11:42Yeah.
11:43I think so.
11:45Okay.
11:48So, I've got the ladder out for you.
11:50Yes, yes. All right, all right.
11:52Billy, come on. You've had all weekend. It's the guttering, not repointing the house.
11:56All right.
11:57Wait.
11:59Oscar.
12:01Like me?
12:02Because she's your friend, isn't she?
12:05Go on, look.
12:06Tell you what.
12:07You ask her, yeah?
12:08And I promise you, I'll get out of that ladder and fix the gun.
12:12Yes?
12:13I'll go.
12:14I came here.
12:15Is everything all right, Bea?
12:19Actually, I'm feeling quite flat.
12:21Yeah.
12:22I think it's after all the hype of the election and then Ian was rather dismissive of me earlier,
12:28which isn't very nice, I mean, considering everything I've done for him and everything.
12:32Well, Ian won, so all your hard work paid off, so.
12:36You know, maybe he's just got a lot on his plate right now, you know.
12:40Anyway, we were just wondering if you had a bit of an update on when you might be moving into
12:45your new flat,
12:45because obviously it's been quite a few weeks since we lent you the deposit money, so.
12:50Yes, I need to call the landlord about that.
12:53Thanks for reminding me. I've just had a lot on my mind with the election.
12:56Yeah. No, of course. Of course, of course.
12:57Yeah.
12:59I suppose.
13:00Silly I know, but, you know, I think I was hoping there might be no need for me to move
13:06into the flat.
13:07I kind of thought that things might have maybe moved on a bit more with Ian.
13:12Yeah, no, but it's still early days, isn't it?
13:15Yes, yes, but the more time I spent with him on the campaign trail
13:19and the more I was over at his house running everything,
13:22well, I, you know, I thought I fitted him very well with Cathy and Harvey and me and Ian.
13:29Oh.
13:30Oh, I see. So you're hoping that he might ask you to move in with him.
13:33Well, that would be nice, wouldn't it?
13:36And it would mean that we'd stay close.
13:38And you know what they say about every successful man?
13:43That he's corrupt?
13:45No, no. Behind every successful man is a powerful woman.
13:49Or just a woman.
13:50Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, fingers crossed.
13:53Yeah, well, you know, I can see you and Ian.
13:56Aren't you, Billy?
13:57Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, yeah.
13:59You know what you remind me of?
14:01Posh and Bex, ain't it?
14:03Yeah.
14:04Oh, yeah. I can kind of see that.
14:08Yeah. Well, maybe you're right.
14:11Perhaps Ian does need me more than ever now.
14:14What the...?
14:15Um, which number, Mrs Beale, is she?
14:17I mean, obviously, everyone knows I was number one.
14:20Poor, foolish girl that I was.
14:22I mean, it's just almost impossible to tell you any more.
14:26Oh, Elaine.
14:28Have you seen this?
14:29Er, no. There's nothing to see.
14:32Oh, come on, Ian. Don't be shy. Love is love.
14:35Isn't that a gorgeous picture of Mr and Mrs Beale?
14:39I didn't know things were getting so serious between you.
14:42Well, if they're not, we've been out a couple of times, that's all.
14:45It's a great picture of them both, though, isn't it?
14:47Yeah. I wish you every happiness, Ian.
14:50There's nothing to be happy about, OK?
14:53I don't have feelings for Bea.
14:54Well, if you don't have feelings, stop leading her on.
14:57Those men all over, getting in your head, confusing you,
15:00second-guessing what they want.
15:02Ta-da.
15:06Oh, um, Ian, if you're free later, could you give me a hand
15:10helping me move my stuff out of Peter's?
15:12I mean, you must have heard of.
15:13I'm going to live with Max.
15:15I mean, look at us, moving on, finding new love.
15:23Why couldn't Cindy move in with some mug who lives on the other side of London?
15:27I'm going to have to play nice with her now more than ever
15:29if she stays with Oscar's dad.
15:30She'll always be the Jane Fonda to your jailer.
15:33Buzz, I love that movie.
15:35It's a very good reference.
15:37Classic.
15:37Hey, this is free, yeah?
15:39Yes, it's free.
15:42Oh, right, I was leading up to the same.
15:44Treats back.
15:46Hey, come on, only grab a table.
15:48I know your orders by heart.
15:50Can I have a lemonade?
15:52Are you sure you're ready for this?
15:54Sit yourself down.
15:56I've got no intention at all of ignoring my granddaughter.
16:05Hey, welcome back.
16:07It's really nice to see you.
16:10I mean it.
16:12It is so nice to see you.
16:15Yolandi said that you might be up for a chat when you were back.
16:18Yeah, well, here we are.
16:24Chatting.
16:25Yeah.
16:26But for the moment that is as far as it's going to be.
16:31Maybe one day I will be able to trust you again.
16:37But today is not that day.
16:42Oh, baby steps.
16:45Okay.
16:47Josh, what?
16:48Go on, sit on with the family now, man.
16:50And I get in the drinks in, all right?
16:52Okay, thanks.
16:54Hi, Patrick.
16:54Hey, erm, two around.
16:57Room for a little one?
16:58Wow.
16:58Oh, yeah, come on in.
17:00Thanks.
17:08I only did what I thought was best.
17:10Not, not for Eddie.
17:14But for you.
17:22You know, when I was, er, when I was little, at Christmas.
17:29Christmas Eve, I'd eventually get upstairs and, er...
17:33Gloria would tap me in as usual and she'd say,
17:36night-night.
17:38Sleep tired, don't let the dead pucks bite.
17:44Yeah.
17:45On Christmas Day, I'd come down and, er...
17:50They'd transform the whole room.
17:52Yeah.
17:54So the Christmas tree would have...
17:57coloured lights and there'd be all these little balls
17:59and presents underneath.
18:01And all these loop decorations,
18:04all used to come from each corner and meet in the middle,
18:06like, you know.
18:09And there was, er,
18:11balls, bells,
18:12and stars.
18:16You know, they'd stay up all night,
18:19making it magical for me.
18:24Merry Christmas, son, you'd say.
18:32It wasn't all, er, bad memories.
18:39When he went to prison,
18:41I don't think I'd ever have to see him again.
18:49But...
18:51I don't really want to see him die in prison alone, you know.
18:55Because that would make me as bad as him, would it?
18:56Yeah.
19:00Because I've been thinking about what you said.
19:06And what would Mum want me to do?
19:13So, he goes in the basement.
19:15I don't want nothing to do with him.
19:17I don't want to talk to him.
19:17I don't want to see him.
19:20Understood?
19:21Yeah.
19:24Okay.
19:29Yeah, yeah.
19:30Have you...
19:31Have you got any idea why the Gazette thinks we're married?
19:33Oh, silly capture.
19:36Now, of course not.
19:36Why would I?
19:38Well, you can be a little over-enthusiastic at times.
19:42Look, what I wanted to say...
19:45Oh, there is no need to thank me.
19:49It was all for you, everything I did.
19:52Oh, has it sunk in yet?
19:55Councillor Beale, I've been so excited all day.
19:57Yeah.
19:58Feels good.
19:59Yeah, of course it does.
20:00And so what if we had to be a bit underhand to get us some votes?
20:03I mean, so does every politician.
20:06Anyway, I'm just thrilled that after all the hard work I've put in,
20:10you were victorious.
20:12Oh, think of all the wonderful events we'll get ours to.
20:15Oh, gosh, I bet I'll need some new clothes.
20:18I'll definitely need an evening dress.
20:20Maybe two, actually.
20:21Hold on, when you...
20:23When you say underhand, I mean...
20:25You are just talking about the video you posted online about Elaine.
20:29Yes.
20:30Yes.
20:31And I might have bought you some followers to make you more popular than you are.
20:38Don't look like that.
20:39Everybody does it, you know?
20:41I did it for you and for us and because I believe in you.
20:47And also, I do have feelings for you, Ian.
20:52But you know that, don't you?
20:55Look, I know it's early days and I don't want to jinx anything,
21:00but I know you enjoy my company as much as I enjoy yours.
21:07It's okay, Ian. It's okay to admit our feelings to each other, you know?
21:12I don't have feelings for you, okay?
21:17Look, that's what I've come round here to tell you.
21:20Don't be silly, Ian.
21:22We're a couple.
21:23I'm excited for us.
21:25No, there is no us, okay?
21:28You're nuts. You're living in cloud cuckoo land.
21:31You're a deluded, needy fantasist who is just trying to live their life through other people, okay?
21:37I didn't need that sort of help to win the election, all right?
21:40And me winning the election, like, had nothing to do with you.
21:44I won it because I was the best candidate.
21:48I'm a man of the people, all right?
21:49I care about the community.
21:52No!
21:53You don't deserve me!
21:55Let me see!
21:57You do not deserve me, Ian!
22:01On reflection, I don't think we should see each other any more.
22:07Mum.
22:20So, it didn't take Max long to, er, move his stuff out, did it?
22:24You can have his room if you like. It's a better view.
22:27Not from where I'm sitting.
22:29Hehehe.
22:32Can I?
22:35Can I drink up?
22:36Can I get her a beer?
22:37Yes, thank you.
22:38And go? Do you think he'll come home?
22:40I don't know.
22:42Text me.
22:46Johnny, remember what I said about only getting one mum?
23:02He, er, keeps sticking up for you.
23:07Is there something you want to tell me?
23:10They're...
23:11It's nothing serious.
23:13I'm enjoying his company.
23:20Good for you.
23:23I want you to be happy.
23:38You know what?
23:39I should have a dumb for assault.
23:41Well, I don't need that kind of publicity. The woman is clearly deranged.
23:46Cindy thought he was hysterical, though. Mind you, have you heard?
23:49She's moving in with Max Braining.
23:51Clearly forgotten that the man slept with her daughter and was responsible for her son's death.
23:56I obviously attract head cases, don't I?
23:58Right, there I am, having to clear up all his campaign stuff on.
24:01I should, I should be doing council business.
24:07What's all this?
24:09It's a load of invoices made out to Susan Mitchell.
24:14That's Honey's name, isn't it?
24:17It's not made sense.
24:23Happy birthday, dear Cathy.
24:26Happy birthday to me.
24:30Great day for a naming ceremony.
24:33Well, we can make it quick if you want.
24:35No, no, it's important. Especially the cojo.
24:39What am I going to tell him?
24:41And Gina.
24:45Well, maybe we don't have to say anything.
24:47You know, just keep him away from the house.
24:50No more lies.
24:53Oh, George, there is one more lie.
24:55Probation said they were going to call.
24:57They have to clear it with you. That's probably Bruce.
25:01Answer it!
25:04Hello?
25:10Nicola.
25:15Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm still here.
25:18Yeah, Eddie had a mate who had a door.
25:21Called Nicola, that's right.
25:24Yeah, well, she wants to take him in.
25:27There's no skin off my nose.
25:29I didn't tell you this, but I was thinking of ending things with him during the campaign.
25:35I mean, but no fool like I am.
25:37I try to, you know, look past his faults, which, let me tell you, honey, are many.
25:43Many?
25:44No.
25:45But you said earlier how much you really liked him and how you wanted to move in with him.
25:50I know, I know I did, but I guess I wanted to believe that so much.
25:55But you know what, I was just, I was just kidding myself.
25:58Because I believe in love, but you know, now I can see he was, he was just using me.
26:03Oh, I'm worth more than that, honey, you know, so I just, I bit the bullet and I told him
26:10that we were finished.
26:12We were through.
26:13I know.
26:15Oh.
26:20Ian.
26:24Ian, no, I've told you, it's over.
26:28Look, Ian, Bea's told me everything, so.
26:31Everything?
26:32Like how she went at me like a New Zealand all black, put me in an arm lock and threw
26:37me out.
26:38Proving I was right to finish with her.
26:40You finished with her?
26:42You can lie all you want, Ian, but we both know the truth, don't we?
26:46The truth?
26:47Is that what you want, the truth?
26:48Shall we, er, start with this?
26:51Invoices for my election campaign made out to Susan Mitchell.
26:56See? There.
26:57And there.
26:59And there.
27:01She's the one who's stolen your identity.
27:30So who was stolen?
27:48That would be an interesting gift for her.
