00:03Oh, thank you.
00:06You all right?
00:09Are you sure we need to do this today?
00:12Look, Jordan had a rough night and I just...
00:14He will be fine without you for a few hours.
00:16He's got Yolandi.
00:16And that makes it OK, does it?
00:18I'm off playing Happy Families while he's in a hospital bed
00:21listening to Yolandi's version of the Old Testament.
00:23I know, this is hard.
00:24Nobody wants coffee and pleasantries with her ex's gran, let alone...
00:28Well, I'm sorry, Shanice, but if you knew that you were getting married,
00:32you should have booked in earlier.
00:35Well, I told you, Denise is not available and...
00:42I'm sorry to tell you this,
00:44but the world does not revolve around you and your roots.
00:49Excuse me?
00:53Cheeky cow.
00:54Auntie Kim.
00:55What is it?
00:56You know, this is your mum's area of expertise.
01:00She was always more organised than me.
01:03Don't tell her that I said that, OK?
01:09OK, I need to see Josh to go through the bookings.
01:15So, Libby, you're on D-duty, OK?
01:18Oh, no, I can't. I've got work.
01:21I have a session with a patient.
01:24Erm...
01:25Telling people to breathe deeply and count to three from your kitchen table
01:29actually constitutes as work, and here I am, doing it for free.
01:33I will go over there when I'm done.
01:35Thank you very much, and don't leave it too late.
01:37Chelsea, give my love to Jordan, and I'll catch up with you later, OK?
01:40Come on, kids, I'm going to be late!
01:44Remember, you are doing this for Jordan.
01:52There she is.
01:54The most beautiful woman in Walford.
01:57Here you go.
01:58No expense bed.
02:00What's that for?
02:01Well, I just, erm, you know, I figured you deserved a treat.
02:05I didn't pick anyone ever treated you recently.
02:07Yeah, that or you want something.
02:12OK, Ian, what's going on?
02:14All right, fine.
02:17I'm, er...
02:18I'm meeting with this lawyer later today, and he's got a really, really good success rate.
02:23He calls himself Mr Get Out.
02:25Yeah, so why do I feel that there's a but coming?
02:30But you don't come cheap.
02:32Ah, and there we have it.
02:35Look, I've got the money, OK?
02:36It's just that we know how it is.
02:38It's tied up at the moment, and...
02:39Well, I'd help if I could, Ian.
02:41But you know I haven't got that cash line around.
02:43Yeah, well, I was thinking you could remortgage a calf.
02:46Well, if you weren't so quick to monetise the square,
02:49you might have a few bob to spare.
02:50No, Mum, I promise you, right, it is only temporary,
02:53and I will pay you back, OK?
02:56But...
02:57Look, I'm running out of options here.
02:58It feels like it's my last lifeline.
03:02OK, fine, but we'll talk about it later, all right?
03:05Oh, Mum, you are a lifesaver.
03:09Right, I'll give him a call, I'll tell him I'm in.
03:14There you are, you left without your lunch.
03:16Oh.
03:17I see you're well equipped.
03:19Yeah.
03:21Sorry, hon, you know.
03:23I woke up late, you know, and I had to get a move on.
03:27But we can spend some time together later on.
03:30Yeah?
03:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:31I've got to go to the house, Alice, so you can come with me.
03:34Oh.
03:35It's not very romantic, is it?
03:38You love Bob White?
03:39Yeah.
03:40Maybe another time.
03:41Hey.
03:42Oh.
03:44Hello, honey.
03:48I can see you're all glowing.
03:49I sweat out.
03:51Hey, the good kind, I hope.
03:52Come on, spill the beans.
03:53Give me the gossip.
03:54Had to go last night.
03:55Come on, tell me all about it.
03:56Yeah, yeah, it was all right.
03:57I mean, I'm not exactly tearing each other's clothes off, you know.
04:01Oh, OK.
04:02But that's because I took your advice, though, Al.
04:05I acted like a gentleman, you know.
04:07Dropped a few hints about it not happening.
04:11Well, hold on a second.
04:12What, you're acting like you weren't interested?
04:14Well, now you say it like that, haven't I?
04:18But I'm subtle.
04:19Bill, I've known you a million years, you're about as subtle as a sledgehammer.
04:21What are you talking about?
04:23You seem a bit off as it happens.
04:25I'll just put that down on a curry.
04:28Tell you what, why don't you pop it in a bit later,
04:31so nothing that a glass of fizz won't fix, all right?
04:34Don't let me down.
04:34No.
04:35See you later.
04:36See you, mate.
04:38Thanks.
04:41Thanks.
04:45Are you sure you can't just call in sick?
04:48Why?
04:49You're gonna miss me?
04:50Maybe.
04:51Mm-hmm.
04:53Well, enjoy it while it lasts,
04:55cos soon you will be waking up to this face every day.
05:01You're cute, but can you just keep your voice down a little bit?
05:04She's gonna find out sooner or later.
05:06Yeah, I know, just, just not now.
05:09What, she's got these pregnancy hormones?
05:11Like, last week, she cried cos she dropped some toast.
05:14No, this is gonna push her over the edge.
05:16Okay, think of it like this.
05:17The sooner you tell her, the sooner you can go house shopping.
05:20Yeah?
05:21Place could do with a woman's touch.
05:22Yeah.
05:23Now you're talking about it.
05:24You see?
05:25Who's going house shopping?
05:30Erm...
05:30I'll leave you to it, yeah?
05:34Yeah.
05:35See ya.
05:37I was just saying that we should get the place ready for the new roomie.
05:41Like, new blankets and mood lighting.
05:44That's...babies love that, don't they?
05:45You don't need to do stuff like that.
05:48You know, just, erm...
05:49Same with worrying about all the constant screaming
05:52and baby vomit and dirty nappies.
05:56You know, that's my problem, not yours.
05:58Yeah, I know, but...
06:01Are you done with the bathroom?
06:02I could probably use the shower, so...
06:05Yeah.
06:05Yeah.
06:08Er, G?
06:10Erm...
06:12I think we're out of clean towels.
06:16Erm, yeah, I've got a spare in my room.
06:18Great.
06:19Okay.
06:24I miss you too, darling.
06:26But you be a good boy for Auntie Yo-Yo, yeah?
06:30I love you too.
06:31Okay, sweetheart, love you.
06:33Bye, darling, bye.
06:37A good mum would be there with their kid, not here.
06:40You're here because you're a good mum.
06:42What if he finds out, Deb?
06:44What if he finds out and uses it as an open invitation
06:47to worm his way back into Jordan's life?
06:48What kind of mum would I be there?
06:50As if we would let that happen.
06:52Besides, the man is in prison.
06:54He's not going anywhere anytime soon.
06:56And this isn't about Grey, this is about Sheila.
06:59The woman's got money and she wants to help.
07:01All we're doing is showing up and saying,
07:04yes, we would love your help.
07:08Fine.
07:10But we need to make sure that she checks out first.
07:12And if she even mentions me and Jordan,
07:14then we are out.
07:15Listen, you have got this.
07:17No matter what she says or does,
07:18the ball is in your court, okay?
07:20You are in control.
07:21Chelsea.
07:26Chelsea, isn't it?
07:28I'm Sheila.
07:29Sheila Atkins.
07:34Yeah, the girl is nesting, Vinny.
07:36Oh, God.
07:37Um, look, I know it's not ideal,
07:41but surely, surely she'll understand.
07:43Because this tenant is moving in
07:45whether she likes it or not.
07:47You talking about you or the baby?
07:49I'm talking about the little demanding one
07:51who's keeping you up at night.
07:55Right, so you.
07:57That was good.
07:59No, okay.
08:00Yeah, maybe you're right.
08:02Guess we've just got to get it over with,
08:04don't we?
08:05Maybe we take them out for drinks.
08:08Soften the blow.
08:10You can sort that while I pay for these.
08:13Yeah?
08:13Yeah, you always get the easy job, don't you?
08:21Cheers, thanks.
08:27Look, if you aren't going to buy anything,
08:28can you just jog on, please?
08:31I'm not in the mood for you today.
08:33Really?
08:34I thought you'd be on top form
08:36after your big date last night.
08:39Is it only such a thing yet?
08:40Well, only that it was supposed to be a special date night,
08:44but, um, I guess it didn't go to plan.
08:47Well, it's none of your business, is it?
08:49But I do want Honey to be happy,
08:52and she's my best friend after all.
08:54She's my wife.
08:56It's my job to keep her happy, all right?
09:00Why don't you just wind your neck in?
09:02Right.
09:03It is your job.
09:05Tough mind for a man like you.
09:09Five foot nothing, and he still thinks he's God's gift.
09:13No wonder she's miserable.
09:16You're lucky that she's so forgiving, really.
09:19Because if it was me, well...
09:24She's broken now.
09:26Honey!
09:28There you are.
09:30I've got something for you.
09:33It's the money I owe you.
09:34And not all of it,
09:36but Mo's done me a deal with the rent,
09:38so there'll be more where that comes from.
09:40Oh, thanks.
09:42You all right?
09:43I don't know.
09:45You know what you need, don't you?
09:47Some girl time.
09:48Oh, I don't know.
09:50Honestly, honey,
09:51keeping your feelings in,
09:52and it's not good for your chakras.
09:54Oh, really?
09:55I insist.
09:57A cocktail marriage in life
09:58would do you the world of good.
10:01The best round's on me.
10:03Come on.
10:04Come on.
10:12I should be the one buying you coffee to say thank you.
10:16And cars?
10:18For agreeing to meet.
10:22You never wrote back.
10:25You never cashed any of those cheques.
10:28And I assumed you wanted nothing to do with me.
10:33Yeah, well, it's not easy to move on.
10:35Especially when the letters are piling up.
10:37Of course.
10:39And there were moments when I thought I was overstepping, but...
10:45Here we are.
10:48Don't get me wrong.
10:50I'm very glad you reached out, but...
10:53Why now?
10:58Well, it's just Jordan's getting older now,
11:01so he's started asking questions.
11:04He's doing this family tree stuff at school
11:07and we just reckon he deserves to know where he came from.
11:10That's great.
11:12Wonderful.
11:13Well...
11:14But, before we get started...
11:18Does Gray know you're here?
11:21Because if he does, then...
11:22No.
11:24No, he doesn't.
11:26I take it you're not close, then?
11:29We were.
11:31Once.
11:32He was more like a son than anything.
11:35When was the last time you saw him?
11:38In person?
11:40Oh, I couldn't tell you that.
11:43Long before he went to prison.
11:48I remember the last time I saw his face, though.
11:52I'll never forget that.
11:55I was at home...
11:56making Queen Cates for the book club and...
12:00I turned on the television and...
12:04There he was.
12:07My grandson.
12:09In handcuffs.
12:12And then, when I found out what he did...
12:17All I could think of was those children having a monster for a father.
12:23As far as I'm concerned, he's exactly where he belongs.
12:27Thanks.
12:31Mr Beale.
12:33Your track record is impressive, but there are no bonus points for owning the local Greasy Spoon, I'm afraid.
12:38Yeah, I know, but if we can just show them that I'm just a normal, hard-working bloke...
12:46I mean, I've got children.
12:50Grandchildren. I mean, one of them.
12:51One of them is, er, one of them is blind.
12:54Also no bonus points for blind grandchildren.
12:58Fine.
13:00Look, I'm not trying to spin you a line or anything here, it's just...
13:04Chelsea practically admitted she was at fault.
13:07If she hadn't shouted at her child, he wouldn't have run behind me in the first place.
13:12OK, this is good. Maybe we could use her to deviate the narrative.
13:15If we can make Chelsea look like an irresponsible mother...
13:18No, no, no, hold on. Hold on, no.
13:20I'm not throwing her under the bus here.
13:23I'm not saying she's a bad mum.
13:25She could be mum of the year, for all I care.
13:27Look, I've dealt with plenty of these cases, one of them all, two.
13:31Facts are irrelevant.
13:34What matters is who tells the best story.
13:39I'm sure you're not a bad dad either, but...
13:42What good are you behind bars, hmm?
13:46Surely there's got to be another way.
13:48Mr Beale.
13:50Either you want my help or not.
13:54Which is it?
13:58Well, great.
14:00So, let's get started then, shall we?
14:03When the news about Grey spread, it just destroyed everything.
14:09People don't think of those left behind, you know?
14:13No.
14:14They just expect you to carry on living like nothing's ever happened.
14:20I remember thinking, I must work more.
14:24Maybe that'll be the distraction I need, but...
14:29Of course, no-one wants legal advice from the grandmother of us.
14:36I've worked all my life, and then...
14:40It's gone. Just right now.
14:43It must have been tough.
14:45Hm.
14:47What can you do?
14:51Anyway...
14:52Retirement suits me much better,
14:54because now I've got the time to focus on what's important.
14:58Have you reached out to Makamea?
15:01Karen won't budge.
15:03I can't say I blame her.
15:11Oh, I can only imagine how much bigger they've got.
15:19Anyway...
15:19That'll have to do for now.
15:26I should have reached out to you sooner.
15:30But I didn't know if you were still in touch with Grey,
15:32and with everything that we've been through...
15:34No, no.
15:35You had a son to protect.
15:38I understand.
15:42That boy's lucky to have such a strong mother.
15:46Chelsea's the strongest person I know.
15:48Everything she's been through, single mum at that,
15:52it hasn't been easy.
15:53Mm. I can only imagine.
15:58If it wasn't for Jordan, I...
16:00I don't think I would have gone through.
16:02And even now, I'm...
16:04I'm lost without him.
16:06He's in hospital.
16:09I'm a drunk driver.
16:11Thankfully, he's...
16:13He's okay.
16:16But...
16:16Well, the NHS are great, but they're stretched.
16:20Yeah.
16:21They seem to spend more time at the hospital than at home.
16:23Jordan and mum...
16:26She's undergoing chemo.
16:28She has an aggressive form of cancer.
16:31You poor girls.
16:34You really have been given a raw deal.
16:37Yeah, but it...
16:38It's not about us.
16:40It's about Jordan and making sure
16:42that he's got everything that he needs.
16:44Well, let me help you.
16:46With some of the expenses, at least.
16:48I don't expect you to do that.
16:50Don't be silly.
16:52Jordan's family.
16:53It's the least I can do.
17:00Will 3,000 do for now?
17:03I think that's a bit much, isn't it?
17:04Oh, please.
17:06I insist.
17:10A little thank you for being so supportive with a bumper.
17:14Oh, of course.
17:16Yeah, we're really excited, aren't we, Henry?
17:18Yeah.
17:19You can't be that excited, though, can you?
17:21I mean, we're talking about vomit on the sofa
17:24and uncontrollable crying at 4 o'clock in the morning.
17:26Yeah, standard Saturday night behaviour.
17:28You should get out where you can.
17:30Your place is nice and peaceful, eh, Harry?
17:32Yeah, more peaceful than your guff, anyway.
17:34I mean, late-night karaoke.
17:36Right, you said you love your rendition of Violins in the stream.
17:39He's just still annoyed because you wouldn't let him play Kenny Rogers.
17:41Look.
17:44Harry, this is a good time to, you know.
17:47OK, so me and you, we've got something to tell you.
17:49Harry.
17:51What?
17:52What is it?
17:52Yeah.
17:55Yeah, erm...
17:56So I was... we were thinking...
17:58Mm-hm.
17:59Because you've got the baby and you need the space.
18:02Yes.
18:02So...
18:03Yes.
18:05You and Harry living together?
18:07Yeah, then that is perfect.
18:08That is literally a no-brainer.
18:11Oh, really?
18:12Sorry, I thought that you'd be annoyed at me.
18:16Like I was abandoning you or something.
18:18As if.
18:19I didn't expect you to hang about and change down your knees, did I?
18:23That's what Vinny's for.
18:25OK.
18:27You sure, though?
18:30Positive.
18:32So, Vin, you, erm, thought about moving in with her?
18:36Do you know what? That ain't a bad idea.
18:41Aw.
18:42I think they thought he'd come out of that one-self.
18:44Yeah, I know.
18:45OK.
18:46Right.
18:47Here's to...
18:48to new beginnings.
18:50To new beginnings.
18:54Ladies, that was such a pleasure to meet you both.
18:59There was a time when I lost hope that I might ever be part of Jordan's life.
19:05Maybe next time you could bring him?
19:08Don't know, he's... he's not really settled.
19:11That's OK.
19:12I'm happy to make the trip.
19:14Visit him at home.
19:16You just tell him.
19:19Granny Sheila hopes he feels better soon.
19:23And there's plenty more where that came from.
19:27I can't.
19:28No.
19:31No.
19:31No, this was a mistake.
19:35Well, Jordan has got so much change ahead of him,
19:38and bringing someone new into his life...
19:40No, no, no.
19:40You're right.
19:42I overstepped.
19:44I'm sorry, really.
19:46But the money's yours.
19:48Please.
19:50You know what?
19:51I...
19:51I think we'll manage.
20:01Well, if you change your mind,
20:02you know where I am.
20:05It was nice meeting you.
20:11What are you playing at?
20:13I ain't here to sell my child, Libby.
20:15I told you that.
20:17If her cheques come with strings attached,
20:19then she can do one.
20:20No!
20:22Or sort it.
20:24Just not like this.
20:29No, no, no.
20:30I just think I need to forget about it.
20:32It's just...
20:33I know he didn't mean any harm,
20:36but now I'm the one feeling like spoiled goods.
20:39No.
20:41Maybe I'm just ever thinking it.
20:43I mean, it happens all the time, doesn't it?
20:45I mean, it's what marriage is all about.
20:46Yeah.
20:47Happened to a mate of mine.
20:49Gorgeous girl,
20:50and then she hit the big M, you know,
20:52in hot flushes, low sex drive, boobs just...
20:58And then, um,
20:59she came home one day from work
21:01and found her husband in bed with a 20-year-old.
21:04Yeah.
21:05It's men, see?
21:07They're the problem,
21:08because they forget our bodies change
21:09and our hormones change,
21:11and you can't stay young and sexy forever.
21:14I mean, but of course,
21:15I think you're gorgeous.
21:17I mean, look at you.
21:18Look at you!
21:19Ooh.
21:20It's no secret that Billy is seriously punching.
21:24It's just a shame he doesn't realise that yet.
21:27Hmm.
21:28The canteen have got your favourite,
21:29cookies and cream.
21:30I want to go home.
21:37Look.
21:39I know it's not easy,
21:41but you are being so strong.
21:45And Mummy is so proud of you.
21:50I've had that ice cream.
21:55There you are.
21:57The only thing they've got in that canteen
21:59is tin soups and get-well cards.
22:01It's so grim, innit?
22:03Oh!
22:04So how is my little warrior?
22:05Have you been good for the nurses?
22:11A few minutes, OK?
22:19He just wants to go home
22:20and play football with Denzel.
22:22What am I supposed to say to him?
22:24Well, you're doing all that you can.
22:26He just needs to stick to the physio.
22:28No.
22:28And then what?
22:29This physio.
22:30The nurses reckon it could go on.
22:32I need him better, Aunty Kim.
22:34I need extra sessions, private sessions.
22:36You know how expensive that is?
22:38I don't want to add insult to injury,
22:41but I just got off the phone to Harry.
22:43And he said that the word on the square
22:46is that Ian has got this fancy lawyer.
22:50Mr Go-Get or something.
22:52Go-Get it?
22:53Like, go get the conviction out of my face
22:55or some kind of foolishness.
22:56I don't know.
22:56If only we all have pockets as big as the bills.
22:59OK, I'm sorry.
23:03You know, it's not the size of the pocket that matters.
23:07It's how you play your cards.
23:11Now, remember, you're a fox.
23:13And if anybody can play this game, it's you.
23:16Mummy!
23:23You head down there, OK?
23:25And I'll be right behind you.
23:26I'm just going to go to the bathroom.
23:29OK.
23:35And me and you are going to go for a little, little adventure.
23:40Yeah?
23:41Yeah?
23:42OK, let's go.
23:46Hello?
23:48Hi.
24:15I'm Billy.
24:16And I'm looking for some fun.
24:29Hi.
24:30You ready?
24:31Should we go?
24:31Oh, absolutely.
24:33I'm all done here.
24:35Huh.
24:36Let's go.
24:37Hello.
24:42Everything OK?
24:43Blood pressure's a little bit on the high side.
24:45It could be distress.
24:46So keeping things calm and quiet really helps.
24:49Right.
24:53Here.
24:55Oh, there's my girl.
24:57Oh, no, no, no.
24:58You stay where you are.
25:00It's all right.
25:01Yeah.
25:03I'm really sorry, Mum.
25:04I should have got here sooner.
25:06Oh, look, I'm just glad you're here now.
25:10I've missed you.
25:12All of you.
25:15Even Kim.
25:17You really are sick, aren't you?
25:21Oh, I take chaos and screaming kids over needles
25:25and hospital dinners any day.
25:29As Chelsea, is she managing all right with Jordan?
25:31Yeah, Chelsea's fine.
25:33Hey.
25:34And don't be worrying about us.
25:35It isn't good for your blood pressure.
25:37Yeah, you're right.
25:39If anyone's going to have a handle on things,
25:41it's you too.
25:44For what?
25:46For everything.
25:49I wouldn't be able to get through this without you.
25:55And girls.
26:05Glad you're still there.
26:08The local market caught my eye out.
26:11Everything okay?
26:13Yeah.
26:14I just didn't want you to leave without giving you this.
26:26Look at him.
26:28Look at him.
26:28He's beautiful.
26:29Just like his mum.
26:32Look, I shouldn't ever shut you down.
26:36Jordan's going through a lot.
26:38But I reckon...
26:40he could do with a few more people in his corner.
26:45I'll be in touch.
26:48Well, Chelsea, wait!
26:59Sure, I don't know what to say.
27:02You don't have to say anything.
27:04Just look after that boy, okay?
27:26I don't even go there.
27:27Look at Sir Lars Hans.
27:28Yeah.
27:41Beautiful.
27:42His wife's son.
