00:25Hi, I'm Shane Peacock, it's one scandal
00:26After another, we'll float into Peacock and watch the rest of the wolfers go the same way
00:32Yo! Brook and Brack man!
00:35Is Mr Mitchell to you?
00:37Have you seen the video in the community group chat?
00:40Savage!
00:41Welcome to Peacock Palace, home to adulterers, addicts and summer
00:44Alright baby girl, just get that to the right temperature for ya
00:48Just like your daddy's porridge
00:49Hey, how are you my little featherweight?
00:52Well, she's been up an hour and she's on the second nappy of the day
00:55Hey, at least you're eating
00:58Doing your old man proud
01:02What you gonna do about yours?
01:04Yeah, I think my mum would expect me to drop in
01:07What about Gina?
01:09I ain't gonna lose her over this
01:10How can you be so short?
01:12This is the last time I'm gonna go up there
01:15After today, I'll never see Eddie again
01:19Oh, it's the accountant
01:22Right, give you girls to it
01:23See you later
01:26Kirstie, now ain't a good time
01:30What? What are you talking about?
01:34No, no, no, no, no, no, there should be thousands in that account
01:37Ah, here she is
01:39Warford's new counsellor
01:40Let's not get ahead of ourselves
01:42I've still got a whole day of canvassing to get through
01:44How did the debate go yesterday?
01:46Better than I could have dreamed
01:48Oh, and your idea of a weekly addiction support group got a lot of love
01:52Which is a good thing because Warford's crying out for it
01:55Oh, Ian had a nightmare
01:57Partly because I couldn't help myself playing to the crowd
01:59Oh, go easy on the sympathy
02:00I mean, if the shoe was on the other foot
02:02He's not as cutthroat as everyone thinks
02:04Well, I'll take your word for it
02:05Hmm
02:06Someone's full of the joys of spring
02:08Well, you know what they say
02:10Tis the season of renewal
02:12Well, whoever has put a spring in your step
02:14It's lovely to see you back with a smile
02:16No, actually, it was Grant
02:18Encouraging me not to give up on Johnny
02:20Oh, so there are some good ideas in that sick head of his
02:23So, I am selling my shares in the salon
02:25What?
02:26If he's going to make a success of his law firm
02:28Then he's going to need all the help he can get
02:30Oh, that's my girl
02:32You okay to hold a thought for a bit?
02:34Why, where are you off to?
02:35Well, I'm off to repair a few relationships of my own
02:38Ta-ra
02:39Ta-ra
02:41I wish that Dad would just let him rot
02:45But if he wants to waste his time going up to the hospital
02:48Then...
02:49I guess that all that I can do is just
02:52Is just not lose any more sleep over it
02:55Right?
02:56Yeah
02:59Well, if you need something to take your mind off it
03:02I'm sure I could think of something
03:04Yeah
03:04Yeah
03:06Right, is someone going to tell me what the hell is going on?
03:09I've just been told that the business account is in the red
03:12Where's the money gone?
03:12Harry
03:13If you are using again, I...
03:17You really think I'll be that stupid?
03:18Well, the money's gone somewhere
03:19He's given it to the restaurant
03:22It's really been struggling, Nicola
03:24He's just been moving some profits over to help out
03:28How could you be so stupid?
03:29I was trying to stop us going under
03:31What else do you want me to do?
03:32Come to me!
03:34This place has got overheads, Harry, that need paying
03:37And if I don't cough up then both businesses go under
03:43We're really sorry
03:44I just didn't want to worry you
03:46I just didn't want to worry you
03:46You know, you've got so much going on
03:48Ah!
03:54Speaking of which...
03:57What happened at the hospital?
03:59Not much, your dad's gone back up there
04:01He's gone back?
04:02Get to say goodbye, alright?
04:04It's done with that file old git
04:06Look...
04:08Between juggling a newborn baby and dealing with a dying man
04:12Maybe we don't tell him about the restaurant just yet
04:14Okay, but how are we going to fix it?
04:17I don't know, leave it to me
04:19Alright, I'll think of something
04:21Come on, gents, go on!
04:24Chief Peacock is once again
04:26After another vote to debate Peacock and...
04:29Oi, I want to work with you
04:31Look, it really wasn't my idea
04:32I want to apologise
04:34I got a bit carried away at the debate
04:36And worked the mob into a bit of a frenzy
04:40What are you looking at?
04:43They're probably open for round two
04:44Well, they're going to be sadly disappointed
04:47So, no unfeelings?
04:49No, of course not
04:51I was thinking it'd be silly to let a little debate
04:53Spoil all our hard work
04:55Careful
04:56People might think you're going soft, don't they?
04:59Well, we've certainly had our differences
05:02But like I said yesterday
05:04This could be the start of a beautiful friendship
05:06Yeah, yeah, I'd like that
05:09How about a little celebratory drink tomorrow?
05:12No matter who wins
05:14It's a date
05:20People, and this must be Ramo
05:22Actually, he hasn't seen the group chat yet, huh?
05:24God, how do I get the video for Bea posted down?
05:27Bonkers, Beatrice did this
05:29No!
05:31You know most people have already seen it
05:33And it was posted anonymously so no one can prove it was her
05:35Oscar
05:37Please
05:37Oh, right!
05:39Bottom line
05:40She uploaded it
05:43Only she can delete
05:44Only she can delete
05:46Only she can delete
05:56Late breakfast or early lunch?
05:59Err, both
06:00I've got to go, I've got a client zoo any minute
06:02Look, I know you spoke to your gran the other day
06:05About not wanting to use Tim's money
06:07I literally told her not to tell you
06:10She's only trying to help and so am I
06:13I'm gonna sell my steak and fox and hare and I
06:16I want you to have it
06:18And that way you never have to touch a penny of his grubby money
06:21Thanks, but I can't accept that
06:24I know you're still upset with me
06:25All right, and I don't expect to wave a magic wand and for everything to come back to normal
06:29But...
06:31But if you're worried about what Callum will say then
06:32It isn't about Callum, Mum
06:33I just wanna help get you started
06:34Yeah, well last time you interfered it didn't go too well, did it?
06:38If you really wanna help, just let me and Callum get on with our lives
06:41Johnny, please!
06:41No, Mum! Okay? I have said, leave it
06:53You don't eat much
06:55No point, is there?
06:58We could get some of it
07:02Give me that yogurt then
07:07Here you go
07:19Stop staring
07:27Okay, okay
07:29Keep a seat here
07:30I've got it
07:31I've got it
07:33Right
07:35Don't worry
07:37I've got you
07:37It's...
07:38It's...
07:39It's...
07:40It's...
07:41It's...
07:42Alright
07:46Here we go
07:52There you go
07:59Enjoy your stay
08:00Love you
08:01Thank you
08:02Right, come on you
08:03Down tools
08:04I'm taking you for lunch
08:05I can't, Mum's left me on my own
08:07Okay, I can rustle up my Portuguese speciality
08:11Arroz de bato
08:12Can we do this another time?
08:14You okay?
08:15I told you, I've got too much to do
08:17Have I done something to upset you?
08:19I hate to disappoint you, Grant, but not everything's about you
08:22Well, whatever it is, I'm here if you wanted to
08:24What I want is for you to leave me alone
08:37Good to see business is booming
08:43Take a seat, shall I?
08:49Oh, I might help myself to a couple of these
08:55What are you doing?
08:56Oh, typical
08:58Now she wakes up
08:59Mm
09:00Helping yourself to me products, are you?
09:02Well, I was gonna try my luck
09:04Seeing as your security's so lax and your staff seems to have gone AWOL
09:08Oh, what's Josh gone?
09:09I was gonna ask you the same thing
09:12Oh, I don't know, I must have just...
09:15Modded off for just a minute there
09:17Is everything alright?
09:20Yeah
09:21Yeah, of course, Jack just had me up snoring all night, did?
09:25Go and hang your coat and I'll make a start on your wrists
09:28No, no, no, no, come on
09:31Come on, I'm gonna take you home
09:32What?
09:34No, I've got this place to run, ain't I?
09:36Oh, like you're rushed off your feet
09:37Yeah, I've got appointments booked in all afternoon
09:40Well, look, perfect timing
09:42Um, Josh, could you cancel all of Denise's appointments this afternoon?
09:47She's got a terrible tummy bug
09:48Oh, yeah, of course
09:50PB and banana on toast, works every time
09:55That's all
09:57Um...
09:58Oh
10:01I suppose I should be grateful I'm ill
10:05At least it's a few days when I had cooped up in that cold cell
10:10That's where you should be now, innit?
10:12You haven't answered me question
10:15Can you forgive an old man for his sins?
10:19Well, I think it's a bit late for that
10:24Maybe if we had a bit more time
10:26We could have more time
10:28What?
10:28They've offered me compassionate release
10:32Means I can pass peacefully at home
10:35Home?
10:37What?
10:39Would you want to move in with us?
10:41Much as I'd like that
10:43They wouldn't allow it
10:45Not after you were star witness in me court case
10:50Have you got a friend or a neighbour
10:52With a spare room?
10:55It'd only be for a few weeks
10:58I just need to be close to my boy
11:03So that's what this is all about, innit?
11:05It's got nothing to do with forgiveness
11:07It has, I swear
11:08No
11:09You just want a roof over your head
11:10So you don't have to die in prison alone
11:12No, George
11:13You got it all wrong
11:15I need to tone for what I've done
11:19You know
11:21I came here
11:22To say that I wouldn't be seeing you again
11:25I almost got suckered back in again
11:28I need to mend things with us before me time comes
11:33You think
11:34I would let you anywhere near me or my kids?
11:39No
11:41You made your bed
11:42Now you're lying
11:44I can make it up to you there's still time
11:49Goodbye Eddie
11:50George
11:51George don't leave me
11:56Now listen
11:57Remind me to go through those credit card letters tonight, Billy
12:01Must hang around this morning
12:03What?
12:04Yeah
12:04No, I wanted to go through them Billy
12:06Find out why they're in my name
12:07Because I don't have a credit card anymore
12:10Have you seen Bea?
12:13No, Ian, we've just sat down
12:14That video part of your handy work was it?
12:17My team were looking into it with some urgency
12:19Yeah, yeah
12:20Typical politicians aren't they?
12:22If you do see Bea, tell her that I'm looking for her
12:24And tell her they'll call me immediately
12:27Come on
12:27Come on
12:27Come on
12:28Well whoever did make it all right
12:30Be in their shoes when Elaine catches up with her
12:34Oh Bea, he must just look at you
12:35Oh, he probably just wants to go over his acceptance speech for tomorrow night
12:39No, I don't think it was actually about that
12:42When he wins
12:42When he wins, when he wins
12:43You know, everything's going to change
12:45I mean, it's going to be quite daunting for me
12:47Because I guess I'll be Walford's first lady
12:51Yeah, it's the same because we probably won't see as much of you now, will we?
12:54Well you'll be too busy when you're hobnobbing with all the great and the good
12:57Soap
12:58Well, yeah, I probably will be expected to do a lot of entertaining
13:01Yeah
13:02Yeah, and hold a lot of soirees
13:04Oh, so have you got a moving date for your flat then?
13:07I'm going to chase that up, definitely
13:09Just let me get Ian over the line to victory first
13:12And don't forget to vote
13:15Yeah
13:15You too
13:17Good
13:20More crackers than jails
13:24I will have two chocolate muffins, please, Marie
13:28Actually, let's make it four
13:31Yeah
13:31Thank you
13:35You all right, Billy? No, mates
13:38So come on then
13:38Who's burst your balloon?
13:41Linda
13:42Oh, no, you haven't
13:44No, I haven't done anything
13:45But you want to
13:48Honestly, my brother
13:49You ain't even buried your best mate yet
13:51And already you're trying to get your leg over
13:53Nigel would want life to carry on
13:55Yeah, well
13:56Instead of chasing skirt
13:57Isn't
13:58Like
13:59Maybe you should
14:00Focus on fixing things with your son
14:02Yeah?
14:08Can I get her tea?
14:11You're happy now, are you?
14:13I mean, your mum bends over backwards for you
14:15But instead of saying thank you
14:17You just throw it back in her face
14:19Look, no disrespect
14:21But I don't
14:22I don't see how this is any of your business
14:23So...
14:24Do you realise
14:26Just how lucky you are?
14:27Your mum
14:28Would take on the world to protect you
14:31But she won't be here forever
14:33And when she's gone
14:34Things will never be the same again
14:38Take that from somebody that knows
14:41So
14:44Stop being selfish
14:46And do the right thing
14:49Before it's too late
14:55I've got stakes in both businesses
14:58Right?
14:59I need money in that account now
15:03Kirsty, this is my family's future we're talking about here
15:05Yeah
15:07Um, I'll call you back, alright?
15:13Do I have a mug?
15:14A bit across my forehead
15:15Can you kick him down, alright?
15:17Just got her down
15:19You're gonna have to talk to Gina
15:20In case she knows you went back up there
15:25You're never gonna guess what that old chancellor just asked me
15:28He wants to move here
15:30What?
15:31He's got a compassionate release or something
15:33Which means he can die at home
15:35So here?
15:36With us?
15:37No, no, not here
15:38I mean, thank God
15:39Because of the court case
15:41But...
15:41He's asked me
15:43To ask around
15:43To see if anybody would take him in
15:45Oh, sorry
15:46I know he's your dad but...
15:47How could he even ask that of me?
15:49I mean us
15:51Look, babe
15:53I...
15:54Why do I always let him inside my head?
16:01Because...
16:05You...
16:07Are a good man
16:10And he don't deserve you
16:13I'm never gonna be free of that man
16:16Never
16:18A joint party?
16:19Oh, come on Max
16:20What are the chances that you and I would share the same birthday?
16:23One in 365
16:26Snarking from the sidelines
16:28You wanna be careful, Linda
16:30That bit of spinster look starting to suit you
16:32Excuse me?
16:33Look, we already know what everyone thinks about us
16:35It's not bad winning people over
16:37I just want us to celebrate the fact that...
16:40We found each other
16:41Despite everything we've been through
16:45Oh, that's sweet
16:46Let's do it
16:47Great
16:48The album's booked up but I've already asked you about Harry's bond
16:51I always knew there was a reason we had so much in common
16:54Yeah?
16:56Vitorians, strong willed, romantic, sensual
16:59Ain't they supposed to be loyal and trustworthy, Ian?
17:02Diplomacy is a sigh of a civilised society
17:05Ian and I have finally decided to bury the hatchet
17:07We're gonna fight this election in the best of spirits
17:11Er...
17:11You sure about that?
17:13Yeah, you've seen that video on the group chat
17:15What video?
17:16I was busy when my phone was on mute
17:18Multiple failed marriages
17:19A daughter in and out of rehab
17:22Life from Jay Peacock is one scandal
17:23Who the hell's done this?
17:26Well, I know, I might bet some
17:27You couldn't have done this to me
17:29Mum, this is slander
17:31This is disgusting
17:32I'm so sorry they attacked you too
17:35You were so happy this morning
17:36Oh, it's not just that
17:37A Johnny knocked me back
17:39Sweetheart
17:40Well, maybe you should take it as a sign to stop chasing him
17:43He's my son!
17:44He'll come to you when he's ready
17:46More important than me
17:47If I can grab life by the watsits
17:49And fight this election with that vile little eel
17:53You can put your happiness first too
17:57Thank you
17:59Bit embarrassing though, innit?
18:01Crashing out like that?
18:02No
18:03Well, I guess it's what we've got to expect at our age
18:05Oi! Excuse me!
18:07Speak for yourself!
18:10No, but you did say, do you remember?
18:12You know, that you've been feeling a little bit tired
18:15Yeah?
18:16So maybe you need to go and book that appointment
18:18Oh no, they're just, they're going to tell me off for wasting time
18:21No, of course they won't
18:23Look, you're better to be safe than sorry, yeah?
18:25Trust me, look, I should know
18:27Oh, is it going to stop you nagging?
18:31Fine, if it's going to make you happy
18:32See?
18:33And I didn't even have to offer you 20 grand to do it
18:37Look, I'm going to let you get on
18:40But you promised me that you're going to keep me updated
18:43Yes!
18:44Good
18:46I'll see you later
18:48There you are
18:50Why haven't you returned my course?
18:53I've been busy because I've been posting videos
18:55Yeah I know, but we need to take it down
18:56Er, why would we do that?
18:58Because it makes me look like a vindictive pig
19:00And I don't want to win the election like that
19:02We need to delete it
19:03Well, it's a bit late for that
19:04I mean, everyone's seen it
19:05Well, maybe since Chantelaine hasn't
19:07Too late for that
19:08How dare you attack me online like some nasty little troll
19:12I can explain
19:13Oh no, you've got no proof it was Ian
19:16It's a completely unfounded allegation
19:18Oh please, I know it was him and you
19:21How could you be so cruel as to humiliate me like that
19:25And drag my daughter's name through the mud just because you lost the debate?
19:29Look, people were laughing at me
19:30Oh, so you thought you'd put her through it then?
19:32Shame on you, Ian Beale
19:33Just trying to even the score, okay?
19:36I mean, look, and, and, Britney speaking
19:38I know it was over the top
19:39But there wasn't anything untrue in that video, okay?
19:42Politics isn't for the faint-hearted
19:44You need a thick skin
19:45I was doing you a favour
19:48Well, now we are even
19:50Did you all see that?
19:52A totally unprovoked attack
19:54An election candidate
19:55Okay, people
19:56A bit more love and peace here
20:00I am sorry, Phil
20:01I thought you were a decent man
20:03And you and I had reached an understanding
20:06Well, I won't make that mistake again
20:32You've got no shame
20:33Have you?
20:35Have you?
20:38Yeah
20:38I ain't after no trouble
20:41Doc say I've only got weeks left
20:44Yeah?
20:46Well, it can't come soon enough
20:48I just don't want to leave this world
20:51On bad terms with me son
20:54George gave you his answer
20:59So you stay away from him
21:03And you stay away from my family
21:06Don't you ever contact us again
21:13I got money
21:16My Gloria was good with the savings
21:18And there's me pension as well
21:22We're talking a low six figures
21:26She'd have wanted him to have the lot
21:31Bribe?
21:32Oh, you really are a bottom feeder
21:35What good is it to me now?
21:38Well, George obviously didn't want it so
21:39I never asked him
21:42I don't want to buy his forgiveness
21:45I need to earn it
21:48Think about it
21:51Please?
21:54Oi, oi
21:56You had the right idea staying indoors
21:59It was like the wicked wild wild west out here
22:02Let me tell you
22:02So listen, Shalane and Ian had a showdown in front of the whole market
22:08When I tell you she snapped in halfway into next week
22:13No
22:14What for?
22:16Obviously you haven't seen a video
22:18Total character assassination
22:21Yes
22:22And you even mentioned about Linda's drinking problem as well, you know
22:25Yeah, man, it's brutal
22:27I mean, who wants to be a politician?
22:30Not me, mate
22:30And earlier today, Linda and Johnny had beef in the cafe
22:36He basically told her to stick her money where the sun don't shine
22:39So you can call her to search for her new salon partner, yeah?
22:41Because she ain't going nowhere
22:42Oh
22:43I wouldn't be too sure about that, no
22:44Look, look
22:47Look, you made your point, right?
22:49You don't need to tear another strip off me
22:50I'm sorry
22:52About earlier
22:53You were just trying to step up for me and I was being a brat
22:56What a change of heart?
22:58Er, this big, moody, bald bloke
23:01Made me six cents
23:03Well, I can't hear what they're saying
23:04What?
23:05What?
23:07Why'd you piss this even to eat?
23:09Don't you want to know?
23:10Yeah
23:12The offer's still on the table
23:14I haven't...
23:15I haven't changed my mind
23:17And...
23:18I haven't forgiven you for nearly ruining things with Callum
23:21But I did see Ian's video
23:23I kind of didn't deserve that
23:26And neither did you
23:29I think you should...
23:30I think you should sell your steak
23:33Can I do something for yourself?
23:36I've sort of...
23:39Do you know what?
23:40You're right
23:42It's time I've put my own happiness first
23:48Ian, how soon can you get it on the market?
23:52No, no, that...
23:53That is great
23:54Right? The sooner the better
23:58Yep
24:00Okay
24:03No, no, no
24:04I'll email you the paperwork by the end of play today
24:07Yeah?
24:09Cheers
24:11So, you got it sorted?
24:15You gonna tell me, or?
24:18I'm selling this place
24:20Well, no you're not
24:21You can't, this is our livelihood
24:23Yeah, well not if I do fault on the bills
24:24We'll lose both businesses
24:26And baby Ivy's out in the cold
24:28Look, I've got no choice, Harry
24:30Like that money that you gave to the restaurant
24:33It wasn't just for this place, darling
24:35It was all that I had
24:38Okay
24:39Okay, what about Dad?
24:40He can help us out
24:41Oh, yeah
24:42He's gonna give a loan to his ex, her partner and their newborn baby
24:46Darling, there's more chance of Barney playing for West Ham
24:49Mum
24:52Mum, running this place
24:54Is the only thing keeping me sober
24:57Without it...
24:57No, no, no, darling, darling
24:58We will manage
24:59No, I won't
25:00I'm not out of the woods yet
25:02And I don't wanna relapse, Mum
25:03Please
25:05Please
25:06There'll be another way
25:12Mum not around?
25:14No, I think she's having a long, hot soak
25:18After landing a right hook on the inbill
25:20What?
25:22I'll let her tell you in the morning
25:24Goodnight
25:27Grant, wait
25:30I'm sorry I snapped at you, Ray
25:33Don't be
25:34You've got a lot on your plate
25:36And I...
25:37I should've given you more space
25:39And I should've said thank you
25:41For talking to Johnny
25:43You didn't have to do that
25:45I wanted to
25:48Why?
25:51Because I like you
25:53And I wanted you to be happy
25:58You don't think I'm a better old spinster?
26:00What?
26:01No me
26:03That's the problem
26:06I can't
26:08Not unless you want me to
26:12I don't
26:14I don't
26:37I don't
26:40About me offer
26:40What did he say?
26:43It ain't a bribe
26:44I just wanna help out
26:47Give me one good reason why I should help you out
26:50Because I'll do whatever it takes
26:53To make things right
26:56You've got no idea what it feels like
26:59To want forgiveness
27:01For doing something terrible
27:06You really wanna make peace for George?
27:07It's my dying wish
27:11Then you sign that money over to me
27:13Consider it done
27:15You're gonna have the lot
27:18But you gotta let me move in with ya
27:21That ain't the deal
27:22I need to be close to my boy
27:26You told him
27:27They won't let ya
27:28You have to find a way
27:30You want me to lie to the authorities and all?
27:33Where's the harm?
27:36Wouldn't you wanna fix things if you had one last chance?
