00:25I've just got back from
00:26Walford Town Hall where I've been voted in
00:28once again as your councillor for
00:30Walford East. Now I can't wait to
00:31roll up my sleeves and get stuck
00:34into the matters that matter most
00:36to you. Eels!
00:38More eels! Don't forget those eels!
00:40Eels! Really?
00:41Are you that childish? Oh me, they're only
00:44having a lie. Actually, Ian,
00:47if you
00:48are concerned
00:50about helping us all,
00:51I feel as if my identity's been stolen.
00:54Someone is using my real name, Susan
00:56Mitchell. Susan? Is that your
00:58real name? I have no idea.
01:00Yeah, it is. Yeah, I keep getting all these letters
01:01or these credit cards and I've never applied
01:04for one and these cards. I don't know
01:06whether to open the envelopes.
01:07Alright.
01:10See you.
01:11Alright.
01:15Keys?
01:16Have you got spares at the restaurant?
01:17I'm not going out anyway. Go on! Clear off!
01:20Why are you rushing me?
01:21Have you got a fancy man coming round?
01:23No, you got me.
01:25Right. See ya.
01:27See ya.
01:48Hi.
01:49Hi.
01:50Bruce.
01:52Come in.
01:55Nice house.
01:57Thanks.
01:58Bit big.
01:59Just 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,
02:10so I can lean on them if I have to.
02:12I was going to get some pictures of Eddie
02:14and my dad back in the day putting a frame for him,
02:17but you know what it's like
02:18when you try and lay your hands on something.
02:20Well, as I said before,
02:21it's good of you to want to help your dad's old me.
02:24I noticed the pub, Queen Victoria.
02:27It'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.
02:33Right.
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?
02:57I'll get the receipt, just in case.
02:58No, no.
02:59I love it.
03:00Hey, I love you.
03:02Mwah.
03:03Happy birthday.
03:06Hi, Marie.
03:07One decaf Americano and one latte, please.
03:11Treat you to a donor.
03:13No, thank you.
03:14Just the coffee then, please.
03:16I don't usually cheer you up.
03:18I told you, I'm fine.
03:20Mum, we both know you had your heart set on being a counsellor.
03:23And you'd have won by a landslide
03:25if 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?
03:33Oh, after everything we've done for her.
03:35I know, I 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...
03:45Great, if that bullcock gets stuck again, just give it a wiggle.
03:48Surprised to see you getting your hands dirty.
03:51Thought that was Bea's job.
03:55You, uh...
03:56You all right?
03:58Never better.
03:59You?
04:00Yeah.
04:02Yeah, yeah.
04:02Good.
04:06Oh, Ian, look.
04:07You are a page three boy.
04:10Aw.
04:10See?
04:11Aw, look 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 if...
04:20I've got some business.
04:20I'll catch you later, yeah.
04:24Well, we're sure all my policements are as easy as this.
04:27I'll arrange the transfer as soon as I can.
04:29Great.
04:29Thanks.
04:30How many steps have you got leading up to the house?
04:32Oh, I don't know.
04:33Uh, eight, ten.
04:35There is a lift, but it's broken.
04:37Oh, they'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.
04:49Harry, this is my eldest son.
05:18Do me a favor. That's murder-suicide right there in the making. Well, that's what I said, but Jack's hoping
05:24it will keep
05:26back to about for Lauren
05:28an Oscar
05:30Tired?
05:32Is Jack keeping you up all night, is he?
05:45It did me the poor good
05:48Well, this one, he's been tracking your flight on some app of Josh's. I knew the minute he landed
05:55You know, I think the pilot was still wearing his arm L-plate
06:01Well, you look good. How you feeling now?
06:05Back to me old self. Oh, yes
06:08Yeah, man, it's so good to be home
06:12Come on, I'm on 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, you 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
06:33Patrick doesn't need to be worrying about Jasmine as soon as he steps through the door
06:41He's dying, Harry, all right? It'll only be a few weeks
06:43Well, George has agreed, cos G said he doesn't want anything to do with him
06:47We'll cross that bridge when we come to it
06:49Gina
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, look, I'm going to tell him, all right, you're kicking about 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
07:31I had Eddie's probation officer look over the place
07:34And they approved it
07:45There you go
07:46Oh, cheers
07:49Well, go on, watch up
07:53Oh, God
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
08:11Tell Auntie Sam
08:15I owe money
08:18Right
08:19And it's the same lot that beat you up when you first turned up?
08:22A bloke called Delaney
08:25Russell?
08:27Yeah
08:27What, you know him?
08:28Yeah
08:29Yeah, I mean, from years ago
08:32So he's still around, is he?
08:34Yeah
08:37I'm buying my way out, but
08:39Just 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
08:54I would never ask Grant for anything
09:02Look
09:04When Phil first told me
09:06About Grant
09:08I came over here, you know
09:10You weren't about them
09:13I got to spend some time with him
09:16See him in action
09:17What sort of bloke he is
09:20And I made my own mind up then
09:23Mark, I get it, alright?
09:26But times change
09:28You're both here
09:29Same time, same place
09:31You need money
09:32And he's got it
09:35Mark
09:35Do 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, it's another day
09:53No, no, that ain't later
09:54Give Patrick a rest, yeah?
09:58Hey, go and look in the back on the bed
10:00And you're going to find a present
10:01Just for you
10:02Oh
10:04Oh, he was so excited
10:06About you coming back
10:08He pretended to have a tummy ache
10:09So he could get off school today
10:11Just so he could see you
10:13Yeah
10:13Yeah, well, he was excited
10:15So yeah, that he's like
10:17Yeah, yeah, so I remember Anthony once said that
10:20He pretended to be ill to get off school
10:23And then he became a doctor
10:26Oh
10:27Hey
10:29You see, I can talk about him
10:31I'm healing
10:32Yeah
10:34You know, there's nothing quite like standing barefoot in the sand
10:38And watching the waves coming and going
10:41To realize that 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
10:54And people younger than her just being taken away from her
10:59Yeah
11:01That is how I feel
11:03I'll probably carry on feeling the same way for as long as I live
11:06But as I told Dot
11:09We just got to keep on living our lives
11:16Loving
11:18And being loved
11:22So, where does Jasmine fit into all that?
11:26I can talk to her
11:28Today
11:29No point in putting it off, is there?
11:32Okay
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
11:44I think so
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
11:54It's the guttering, not repointing the house
11:56All right
11:58Wait
12:00Oscar
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
12:10I'll get out of that ladder
12:11And fix the car
12:12Yes
12:13Oscar
12:16Is everything all right, Bea?
12:19Actually, I'm feeling quite flat
12:21I think it's after all the hype of the election
12:25And then Ian was rather dismissive of me earlier
12:29Which isn't very nice
12:30I mean, considering everything I've done for him and everything
12:32Well, Ian won, so all your hard work paid off
12:35You know, maybe he's just got a lot on his plate
12:38Right now, you know
12:40Anyway, we were just, um
12:42Just wondering if you had a bit of an update on
12:44When you might be moving into your new flat
12:45Because obviously it's been quite a few weeks
12:47Since we lent you the deposit money, so
12:50Yes, I need to call the landlord about that
12:53Thanks for reminding me
12:54I've just had a lot on my mind with the election
12:56Yeah, no, of course
12:57Of course, of course
12:58Yeah
12:59I suppose
13:01Silly I know
13:02But, you know
13:03I think I was hoping there might be no need for me to move into the flat
13:07I kind of thought that things might have maybe moved on a bit more with Ian
13:12Oh, yeah, no, but still early days, isn't it?
13:15Yes, yes
13:16But the more time I spent with him on the campaign trail
13:19And the more I was over at his house running everything
13:23Well, I, you know, I thought I fitted in very well
13:26With Kathy and Harvey and me and Ian
13:30Oh, I see
13:31So you're hoping that he might ask you to move in with him
13:34Well, that would be nice, wouldn't it?
13:36And it would mean that we'd stay close
13:38Yeah
13:39And you know what they say about every successful man?
13:43That he's corrupt
13:44No, no
13:46Behind every successful man is a powerful woman
13:49Or just a woman
13:50Oh, yeah
13:50Yeah, yeah
13:51Well, fingers crossed
13:53Yeah, well, you know, I can see
13:55You and Ian
13:55Oh
13:56Don't you, Billy?
13:57Yeah, absolutely
13:58Yeah, you
14:00You know what you remind me of?
14:02Parson Bex, ain't it?
14:03Oh
14:04Yeah
14:04Oh, yeah
14:06I can kind of see that
14:09Yeah
14:09Well, maybe you're right
14:11Perhaps Ian does need me more than ever now
14:14What the?
14:15Um, which number, Mrs. Bill, is she?
14:17I mean, obviously everyone knows I was number one
14:20Poor, foolish girl
14:21But I was
14:22I mean, it's just almost impossible to tell you anymore
14:27Oh, Elaine
14:28Have you seen this?
14:30Er, no, it's just nothing to see
14:31Oh, come on, Ian
14:33Don't be shy
14:34Love is love
14:35Isn't that a gorgeous picture of Mr. and Mrs. Bill?
14:39I didn't know things were getting so serious between you
14:43Fair enough
14:43We've been out a couple of times or so
14:45It's a great picture of them both, though, isn't it?
14:48Yeah
14:49I wish you every happiness, Ian
14:51If there's nothing to be happy about, okay
14:53I don't have feelings for Bea
14:55Well, if you don't have feelings, stop leading her on
14:58This man all over
14:59Getting 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 helping me move my stuff at Peter's?
15:12I mean, you must have heard her
15:14I'm going to live with Max
15:15I mean, look at us
15:16Moving on
15:18Finding 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 if she stays with Oscar's dad
15:31She'll always be the Jane Fonda to your jailer
15:33I love that movie
15:35That's a very good reference
15:37Classic
15:37Hey, this is free, yeah?
15:39Yes, it's free
15:43Oh, right, I was leading up to the same
15:44Patrick's back
15:46Hey, come on, Ole, grab a table
15:48I know your orders by heart
15:51Can I have a lemonade?
15:53Are 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, uh, welcome back
16:07It's really nice to see you
16:09Thank you
16:10I mean it
16:12It is so nice to see you
16:15Um, Yolandi said that you might be up for a chat
16:18When you were back
16:19Yeah, well
16:21Here we are
16:24Chatting
16:25Yeah
16:26But for the moment, that is as far as it's going to be
16:32Maybe one day, I'm going to be able to trust you again
16:38But today is not that day
16:44Baby steps, okay
16:47Hey, Josh, go on, sit on with the family now, man
16:50Hey, and I get in the drinks in, all right?
16:52Okay, thanks
16:54Hi, Patrick
16:55Hey, um, two run?
16:57Room for a little one?
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
17:23You know, when I was, uh, when I was little, at Christmas
17:29Christmas Eve, I'd eventually get upstairs and, uh, Gloria would tap me in as usual
17:35Or, as you'd say, night-night
17:38Sleep tired, don't let the bedpugs bite
17:45Then Christmas Day, I'd come down and, uh,
17:51They'd transform the whole room
17:54So the Christmas tree would have
17:57Coloured lights
17:58And there'd be all these little balls
17:59And presents underneath
18:01And all these loop
18:04Decorations
18:04All used to come from each corner
18:06And meet in the middle, like, you know
18:09And there was, uh, balls, bells, and stars
18:16You know, they'd stay up all night
18:19Making it magical for me
18:25Merry Christmas, son
18:26You'd say
18:32It wasn't all, uh, bad memories
18:39When he went to prison
18:42I don't feel I'd ever have to see him again
18:49But
18:52I don't really want to see him die in prison alone, you know
18:55Because that made me as bad as him, would it?
19:00So I've been thinking about what you said
19:06And what would Mum want me to do?
19:13So, he goes in the basement
19:16I don't want nothing to do with him
19:17I don't want to talk to him
19:18I don't want to see him
19:20Understood?
19:21Yeah
19:24Okay
19:30Have you got any idea why the Gazette thinks we're married?
19:34Oh, silly capture
19:36No, of course not
19:37Why would I?
19:38Well, you can be a little over-enthusiastic at times
19:43Look, what I wanted to say
19:45Oh, there is no need to thank me
19:49It was all for you, everything I did
19:53Oh, has it sunk in yet?
19:55Councillor Beale
19:56I've been so excited all day
19:58Yeah, feels good
19:59Yeah, of course it does
20:00So what if we had to be a bit underhand to get us some votes?
20:04I 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'll bet I'll need some new clothes
20:18I'll definitely need an evening dress
20:20Maybe two, actually
20:21Oh, hold on
20:22When you say underhand, I mean
20:26You are just talking about the video you posted online about Elaine
20:30Yes
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
20:48And also, I do have feelings for you, Ian
20:53But you know that, don't you?
20:56Look, 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
21:09It's okay to admit our feelings to each other, you know
21:12I don't have feelings for you, okay
21:17That's what I've come round here to tell you
21:20Don't be silly, Ian
21:22We're a couple
21:24I'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
21:34Who is just trying to live their life through other people, okay
21:37I didn't need that sort of help to win the election, alright
21:40And me winning the election, like, had nothing to do with you
21:44I won it because I was the best candidate
21:47I'm a man of the people, alright
21:49I care about the community
21:53You don't deserve me
21:55You don't deserve me
21:57You do not deserve me, Ian
22:01On reflection
22:03I don't think we should see each other anymore
22:07Mum
22:20So, it didn't take Max long to, er, move your stuff out, did it?
22:24You can have his room if you like, it's a better view
22:28Not from where I'm sitting
22:35If I drink up
22:36Can I get her a beer?
22:37Yes, thank you
22:39And go, do you think he'll come home?
22:40I don't know
22:42Text me
22:46Johnny, remember what I said about
22:49Only getting one mum
23:02He, er, keeps sticking up for you
23:07Is there something you want to tell me?
23:10We're
23:12It's nothing serious
23:14I'm enjoying his company
23:20Good for you
23:23I want you to be happy
23:37You know what?
23:39I should have a dumb for assault
23:42Well, I don't need that kind of publicity
23:43The woman is clearly deranged
23:47Cindy thought it was hysterical, though
23:48Mind you
23:49If you heard
23:49She's moving in with Max Braining
23:51Clearly forgotten that the man slept with her daughter
23:54And was responsible for her son's death
23:56I obviously attract head cases, don't I?
23:59Right, there I am
24:00I'm going to clear up all his campaign stuff
24:01And I should
24:02Should be doing council business
24:07What's all this?
24:10It's a load of invoices made out to
24:13Susan 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
24:36Especially the cojo
24:39What am I going to tell him?
24:42And Gina
24:44Well
24:46Maybe we don't have to say anything
24:48You know, just keep him away from the house
24:50And no more lies
24:54Oh, George, there is one more lie
24:56Probation said they were going to call
24:57They have to clear it with you
24:58That's probably Bruce
25:01Answer it
25:05Hello?
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
25:22Yeah, well, she wants to take him in
25:27There's no skin off my nose
25:29I didn't tell you this
25:31But I was thinking of ending things with him during the campaign
25:35I mean, but no fool like I am
25:38I try to, you know, look past his faults
25:40Which, let me tell you, honey, are many
25:44Many
25:44No
25:45But you said earlier how much you really liked him
25:48And how you wanted to move in with him
25:50I know, I know I did
25:52But I guess I wanted to believe that so much
25:55But you know what, I was just
25:56I was just kidding myself
25:58Because I believe in love
26:00But, you know, now I can see
26:02He was, he was just using me
26:04Oh, I'm worth more than that, honey
26:07You know, so I just
26:08I bit the bullet
26:10And I told him that we were finished
26:12And we were through
26:13I know
26:15Oh
26:21Ian

26:35Put me in an arm lock and threw me out
26:38Proving I was right to finish with her
26:40You finished with her
26:43You can lie all you want, Ian
26:44But we both know the truth, don't we
26:46The truth
26:46Is that what you want, the truth
