00:26This is you working hard, is it?
00:30I needed to talk to Mark about a car.
00:33Right, stop.
00:35Treating me like I'm an idiot.
00:36How is this you working?
00:36There's nothing going on.
00:37I'm not talking to you.
00:38I'm talking to my wife, am I?
00:41Him?
00:42Messing around with him?
00:43No, it's not like that.
00:44I...
00:46Mark came to the car lot earlier with his girlfriend and they...
00:49She's not my girlfriend.
00:50I don't want to hear from you, mate, all right?
00:52I swear, Peter.
00:54There is nothing going on with anyone.
00:56You must think I'm stupid, eh?
00:58I don't.
00:59No, you must be.
01:00I don't!
01:00Well, and I've seen the messages between you.
01:05You looked at my phone?
01:07That seems like an invasion of privacy, Peter.
01:10I can't believe you went through my phone.
01:14I'm not talking to you about this here, all right?
01:16Can we talk about this at home, please?
01:18In private?
01:18Not in front of him.
01:20Please?
01:28Okay, hold on.
01:29Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:29Just everyone just pipe down, okay?
01:31Just listen to what we've got to say, yeah?
01:33I'm sorry, all right?
01:34I didn't mean to...
01:35You didn't mean to what?
01:36She didn't mean to tell us about the video.
01:39The video of my boy and your kids.
01:41The one that you all knew about and you all tried to cover up.
01:49Hey.
01:55Where's Yolandi?
01:56I thought she was meeting you off the train.
01:58Lovely seeing you two.
02:00Of course it's lovely to see you.
02:01I just thought Yolandi was meeting you.
02:03I took an earlier train.
02:04I thought I would surprise her.
02:06She's at the soup kitchen.
02:12I've only been away for a few weeks.
02:14You couldn't have missed me that much.
02:20Don't talk about my kids like that.
02:21Just calm down.
02:23We'll have a drink and we'll talk it through, yeah?
02:24You know you can hear you shouting across the square.
02:27Where's Nicola?
02:27She should be here.
02:28She's got an issue with her delivery.
02:29Why would you keep it from us?
02:31I mean, what's wrong with you?
02:34They chained him up.
02:36They're my kids served his time
02:38and then he comes and gets attacked by a bunch of sick kids.
02:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:41Just watch how you speak about my children.
02:42Oh, is that right?
02:43They are children.
02:44I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure that your son
02:46took a video off of Varney that was way, way worse.
02:48Yes, we all know Joel did horrible things.
02:52But what?
02:52You lot are perfect parents, are you?
02:55Because judging by that video,
02:57you need to take a good long look at yourselves.
03:01So come on.
03:03Who attacked him?
03:06I mean, you're all such great mums and dads, aren't you?
03:09So which one of them was it?
03:10Look, we're sorry that we didn't show you the video.
03:13All right?
03:13But none of our kids attacked your son.
03:16Without I'm going.
03:17No, you need to stay where you are.
03:20Because I've called Craig and he's on his way.
03:23So maybe you lot will talk to a copper who's actually interested in finding out the truth.
03:32He asked you, are you ready?
03:34Like, ready for what?
03:36What?
03:38I don't...
03:39Don't...
03:39I don't know.
03:46Just...
03:48Just be honest with me.
03:51Are you leaving me?
03:54No.
03:58Me and Mark.
04:01Would you have been working together?
04:04Working what?
04:08Selling stolen cars.
04:15I know it will cheer you up.
04:19Chelsea told Jordan that I'm his great-grandmother.
04:23You have no idea how I love being around that boy.
04:29At least one of us is getting to know my son.
04:32One day he'll be all grown up and then he'll get to know you.
04:37Well, I don't think I can wait that long.
04:39He might be the only thing I've got to live for.
04:42You mustn't think like that.
04:43It's the only thing I think about.
04:47You have to be patient.
04:49I mean, what else can we do?
04:57Maybe...
04:58You could bring him here?
05:00I've already told you that's not possible.
05:03Jordan needs his dad.
05:04And I need him.
05:06You said how important family is.
05:09Write to her.
05:10Send her a letter.
05:12A letter?
05:13What's that gonna do?
05:15You know...
05:16You wouldn't be in Jordan's life if I hadn't told you how to play Chelsea.
05:26I'm sorry.
05:28I'm just...
05:30Jealous.
05:34When I was a kid,
05:36spending time with you was the highlight of my week.
05:40Sneaking sweets behind my mum's back.
05:43It was our little secret.
05:46You loved those pear drops.
05:51If it was up to me, I'd bring him in.
05:54But it's not.
05:56I just want to meet him once.
05:58That's all.
06:00You just need his passport for the visiting order and then...
06:03His passport?
06:04I thought I'd do that.
06:10The smartest woman I know.
06:13This could save my life.
06:15Keep our family together.
06:18That's what you want, isn't it?
06:25How long has this been going on?
06:27A few months.
06:29A few months?
06:30Are you joking?
06:32A few months of you and Mark and that little secret line.
06:35It wasn't like that.
06:36I just wanted to...
06:38win that stupid bet with my dad.
06:40And then we needed money for Jimmy's nursery and obviously I made a huge mistake.
06:44It's not just a mistake, is it?
06:46You've lied to me.
06:47Over and over.
06:48Learn, I looked you a mark in your eye and I asked you what was going on and you...
06:53Kept lying to me until I dragged the truth out of you.
06:57I don't want to...
06:59I don't want to involve you, innit?
07:01I'm your husband.
07:02How can I not be involved in this?
07:04Sorry.
07:05How dare you do this to us?
07:06My dad is already in jail.
07:07And you're literally running around risking everything for a few extra quid.
07:13Why do you always go off and just do things on your own, not involved to me?
07:16And they just lie to me over and over.
07:22You always make me feel like this.
07:25Like what?
07:30It's like...
07:31Like I'm not good enough for you.
07:35Like...
07:35Like you're embarrassed by me.
07:37Like there is anywhere you'd rather be than here with me and the boys.
07:49You've really...
07:50You've really broken us this time, ain't you?
07:55How can I ever believe a word you say?
08:00Ever again, Al?
08:13That video is disgusting.
08:17How is humiliating him?
08:19Torturing him?
08:20Are you still a child?
08:22We talk to our kids and they know it ain't right, but...
08:24Can you blame Avani after what he did?
08:26So I went to court and was punished for that?
08:28You know, he's actually trying to turn his life around.
08:31It was hardly a punishment.
08:32And I got more for Nick in a bag of crisps.
08:34So we're just supposed to forgive and forget, yeah?
08:36No, but you can't take it upon yourself to hide evidence in a police inquiry.
08:40So what happens now?
08:41I need to take a better look at it.
08:43I'd like you to encourage your children, if they have any more information,
08:46come forward.
08:50Look, mate.
08:51We, um...
08:52You want to just have a chat?
08:55Barney's got some information.
08:57I mean, why would he?
09:25I should have been here.
09:27No, no, no, no.
09:28There's nothing you could do.
09:30No, no.
09:30That's not true.
09:32I wanted you to enjoy your time with your grandchildren and not to worry.
09:39You, Landy, should have told me, or Chelsea.
09:43No.
09:43No.
09:45I told them not to.
09:47If there's anyone you should be cross at, it's me, not them.
09:53I'll be cross with you not, eh?
10:06Peter, I love you.
10:08And I love our little family.
10:10Please, I promise I will be the best wife.
10:14The best mum.
10:15Baran.
10:17I've literally heard this all before.
10:19All your sorries.
10:20All your promises.
10:21But you just keep lying to me.
10:26Hiya.
10:27Did you have fun, darling?
10:29Is everything okay?
10:31Yeah.
10:31Yeah.
10:31Yeah.
10:31Why don't you, er, come back with stairs and I'll bring you up a little snack, yeah?
10:36You all right?
10:39What's going on?
10:40Nothing.
10:41You look upset about something.
10:45Is this what I think it is?
10:47No, Mum, it's not.
10:50What is this, big secret or something?
10:53I think my son's just found out that Lauren has been cheating on him with Mark Fowler.
10:59I'm not.
11:01What, is that true?
11:02If you think I'm going to stand here getting questioned by you two hypocrites about cheating,
11:05then you have lost your mind.
11:07Lauren's not been cheating on me.
11:09Just mind your own business.
11:12Are you going to tell him the truth, though, or will I have to?
11:14There's nothing to tell, Peter.
11:15I cannot believe you're still lying.
11:17Lauren.
11:18Right.
11:19Lauren has been working with Mark, using the car lot to shift stolen cars.
11:28I hear you and I fight with Chelsea.
11:31Stupid girl.
11:34Letting that monster's family back in her life.
11:38What?
11:39Is it fair to judge your family on how the children and grandchildren behave,
11:45or do you judge me on Anthony and Paul?
11:50Stop always being the voice of reason.
11:54You see, so you do need me.
11:57Patrick.
12:00Of course I need you.
12:05I need you more than you will ever know.
12:12I'm so scared.
12:13I'm so scared.
12:15Oh, you listen to me, woman.
12:18You are a fighter.
12:23And we are going to get through this together.
12:28You hear me?
12:31Promise.
12:48What?
12:54I'm sorry about all of this.
12:55I was just trying to get all the information together before bringing it to you.
13:00Look, is there any chance we can hold off submitting the evidence?
13:04I don't know if I can do that, sir.
13:08Look, I don't want to obstruct your investigation, alright?
13:10This is just until Denise finishes this round of chemo.
13:14I can't face the kids being arrested on top of everything else.
13:18It's a serious offence.
13:22Look, Jack.
13:24I can keep you under wraps.
13:25For now.
13:27But if new information comes up about the attack, then I might have to bring him in.
13:30You know that, yeah?
13:31That'd be fair enough.
13:34Listen, thank you.
13:34I appreciate you.
13:37Yeah.
13:44Yeah.
13:45Yeah, and then we had a copper, nearly by one.
13:48Honestly, Lauren, you put my whole business in danger.
13:50It's our business, and don't act like you've never done anything dodgy.
13:53What are you talking about? I've never done anything like this to you.
13:55So what were you thinking?
13:57She clearly wasn't.
13:58You're the one that made me prove myself just to be in business with you.
14:02Any normal dad would just have faith in their kid, not you.
14:06Right, so now, now, Lauren, you want to blame me, yeah?
14:09No, okay, yeah, I know this one, this one's on me.
14:14Go on, so tell me, what was the scam?
14:19We swapped plates of the cars that Mark brought in.
14:22Stolen cars?
14:23And we forged documents of written-off motors.
14:26This gets better and better, and all behind my son's back.
14:30I was trying to make money for the both of us.
14:32So tell me, Lauren, how many of them cars are still on my car lot?
14:34I mean, if you, and I can sort it, I'll get Mark to take it.
14:38No, are we talking about Mark?
14:39I don't want Mark anywhere near my car lot, ever again.
14:42And I'm sorry, Lauren, if I can't trust you to do anything at the moment.
14:46I'm so disappointed in you.
14:53You didn't have to tell him.
14:57You might feel comfortable lying to your family loan, but I don't.
15:11What the hell is that?
15:12I thought it called for one of those cocktails you always bang down about.
15:16It's a bit early, isn't it?
15:18Since when did that worry you, babe? Hmm?
15:21Not your babe anymore.
15:24Yeah.
15:25Old habits.
15:28I notice you're wearing that perfume grey.
15:31Am I?
15:34Do you, um...
15:35Do you think that video is going to cause more trouble?
15:39No, it proves nothing about the attack, does it? You know?
15:42I just...
15:43I can't believe they'd be so stupid.
15:45Well, we all do stupid things when we're kids.
15:48Yeah, like, get involved with drug dealers.
15:54You still seeing that bloke?
15:58What's that got to do with anything?
15:59I'm just asking.
16:01You saying I'm taking my eye off the ball?
16:04No.
16:05No, but maybe, you know, if we were both in the same house, it'd be easier to keep an eye...
16:10Really? You're trying to use this as an excuse to get back in our house? In my bed?
16:13No, Priya, I wasn't trying to...
16:14Do you think what? Just buy me a stupid cocktail and then I'll beg you to take your shirt off?
16:18No, no, no, Priya, I wasn't trying to say...
16:20You know what? Text me if you want to talk about the kids.
16:23Priya, look.
16:32Here we are.
16:34Thanks, bloke.
16:35That's you, Craig.
16:40So, look, I just wanted to share an update.
16:43Right, Barney has found the hammer that we believe was using the attack against you.
16:48What?
16:49Are you eating with an hammer?
16:50That is awful.
16:52Yeah. I mean, his dad is taking him to the station now to make a statement.
16:56Right, but someone obviously bought a hammer which shows intent.
16:58And you should have told me you were tied up.
17:00Yeah, but I just want to forget about it.
17:02Right, okay, well, the video also shows us that you were attacked after you were untied.
17:05Because you can't have been hit in the back of the head the way you were when you were tied
17:08up.
17:09Okay, so whoever has the code to that bite clock, that is who we need to speak to.
17:13So it was one of the kids?
17:15Are there going to be consequences, though, for the people in that video after what they did to him?
17:18Oh, Dad, I just want to forget about it.
17:20Yeah?
17:22Look, at some point, Joe, I do need to submit the video into evidence.
17:24No, I don't want it in evidence. I don't want anyone else seeing it. I don't care who attacks me.
17:28Right, it's not your choice.
17:29Yeah, it is. It's up to me, right?
17:33Well, I mean, strictly speaking, I should...
17:34No, no, listen, we're not going to let them get away with it.
17:36No, Dad, please, stop. All right, can we just put all this behind us? I'm really trying.
17:41Yeah, but if all of them get dragged back in by the police again, they'll hate me, their parents will
17:46hate me,
17:46and I might as well just move away for good.
17:49Look, we don't want you going anywhere, okay?
17:55So...
17:59If he doesn't want that video being submitted, well, they just get away with it.
18:09Look, I suppose we could keep it under wraps, for now.
18:14Right, but I won't submit it, but I will keep it as my own evidence.
18:19Is that what you want, Joel?
18:23Okay.
18:25You know, your dad and Vicky really stuck up for you today.
18:29You're lucky to have good people in your corner.
18:32Not everyone does.
18:36I can't believe it.
18:38Just putting all this stuff down here.
18:40Find any spare cash down there?
18:41Oh!
18:41Sorry.
18:44Just, erm, pizza crust.
18:47A pair of Mo's knickers.
18:49I wish I hadn't asked.
18:51Look, whatever it is, you're going to have to be quick,
18:53because I am so behind schedule today.
18:55It's not one thing, it's another and another and another.
18:58Sookie still hasn't had the rent.
19:08I am trying to sort it.
19:13You're three months in arrears.
19:15I know that.
19:16Do you think I don't know that?
19:19I...
19:20I am really doing my best.
19:23It's just that there's less of us here earning now.
19:27Yeah, I don't like to do this, you know, chase you for money.
19:31Could you just give us a few more days?
19:33Well, a week, actually.
19:37You're...
19:38You're very good at sweet-talking that, Sookie.
19:43Could you just hold her back for a bit?
19:45I'll try.
19:48But you do need to get it sorted though, Jean.
19:50Of course!
19:52You know us Slaters, we're always able to pull a rabbit out of a hat.
19:56Yeah, however monkey it is.
20:00Yeah, okay.
20:02Alright then.
20:04Well, I'll see you.
20:05Okay.
20:14Alright, Vicky's out tonight, so how about we try that takeaway you've been banging on about?
20:22Did you really stand up for me in the pub today?
20:24Yeah, of course we did.
20:27You didn't deserve what happened, yeah?
20:32That's the thing.
20:34I did though.
20:38The hammer.
20:40I brought that to the park with me.
20:42Why would you do that?
20:43For protection, in case anyone started anything.
20:46Oh, so you're prepared to hit someone with an hammer?
20:48No, of course not.
20:49I was just scared.
20:52Do you know how stupid that is?
21:00But I can see that you've been trying to be better.
21:06Dad, even when I am trying, I just keep mucking it up.
21:11Like with Avani.
21:14What about Avani?
21:16Well, I might have put a bit of pressure on her to agree to me staying here.
21:20I said I'd accuse her of the attack.
21:24You can't do that!
21:25I know, I'm sorry.
21:26I just, I just want to stay here with you.
21:34You really need to decide what kind of bloke you want to be.
21:42And if you are honestly doing everything you can to change,
21:49then Avani is the last person you should be treating like that.
21:52I don't know.
22:10A dark espresso please, Marie.
22:11Sure.
22:21Yeah.
22:25Yeah.
22:28Let's sit there.
22:31This nugget.
22:32What's he doing?
22:33Look, I think he might send away to the other kids.
22:37Why would you think that?
22:38Barney saw him burying a stash in the allotment, so I was going to talk to Ravi about it,
22:42but I just don't think it's a very good idea right now.
22:44No, no, you're right. Thanks.
22:46Ugh, I'll talk to him. Stupid boy.
22:49It's just one thing after the other with these kids right now, isn't it?
22:51Yeah, honestly, I think I'm going to go grey with it all.
22:55Do you, um, do you fancy grabbing a drink later?
22:58Are you trying not on me again, Priya?
23:00Oh, please, not like that.
23:02I just... It's been a day, and I could really do with unwinding with some adult company.
23:07I would love to, but I've got this dinner with Barney, so, look, good luck you had with me.
23:33It's making me nervous, those cars on the lot.
23:35What are you going to do with them?
23:37Uh, I don't know.
23:39Probably take them to some waste ground, take the plates off, torture them.
23:43That's a bit risky, isn't it?
23:44I mean, Mark should do that, not you or Lauren. It's her mess.
23:47I ain't going to trust them to do that, am I?
23:49Probably make things worse.
23:53Serve them right if they both got caught.
23:57It's in it. It's still my business, I'm talking about, and my daughter.
23:59A daughter who lied over and over again to her husband and got you into this mess.
24:04Listen, if your son had a bit more ambition than just selling pineapples,
24:06Lauren wouldn't be, like, trying to top up their bank account, would she?
24:09Uh, excuse me, what's this got to do with Peter?
24:10I'm just saying, it ain't all her fault, is it?
24:12She obviously felt under pressure to keep them both afloat.
24:15Peter works hard for his family.
24:17Meanwhile, your daughter...
24:20I still don't believe she went sniffing around Mark Fowler.
24:22Oh, right. Just because you can't spend time with a bloke
24:25without jumping on top of him, don't mean Lauren's the same.
24:28You are such a hypocrite.
24:31Can you name a bed in Albert Square you haven't slept in?
24:34Yeah, easy. Jean. Don't think she's had the pleasure.
24:37Oh, you are disgusting.
24:39I have no idea why I'm even marrying you.
24:41Great. Feelings mutual.
24:44Do you know what?
24:46I've a mind to ring up the old bill myself and get the lot of you locked up.
24:49Oh, that's a great idea, Cindy, yeah.
24:51It's probably the best idea you've ever had.
24:55Right, well, if you ain't going to grasp me up,
24:58maybe we should go and sort this out.
25:00Oh, yeah. Typical, isn't it?
25:01Just get up in the middle of a conversation.
25:04Conversation? Ain't much of a conversation, is it, Cindy?
25:06You're just flinging insults about.
25:09Anyway, don't wait up, because I'm going to be very late.
25:11Do you know what, that's a moment you'd better get comfy on the sofa
25:13because you are not sleeping in my bed tonight.
25:15Good. I don't want to.
25:25I don't want to talk to you.
25:28I just want to say sorry.
25:30I shouldn't have pressured you, and I'll leave Walford if that's what you want.
25:34What, are you trying to gaslight me or something?
25:36What do you want?
25:38I'm trying, OK?
25:40I know what sort of man I want to be, and I don't want everyone hating me.
25:44OK, well, I can't do anything about that, can I?
25:46I mean it.
25:47I'll leave if that's what you want.
25:50I don't trust you, Joel.
25:52If I say I don't want you to stay here,
25:54what's stopping you from going and telling the police it was me?
25:56I ain't going to do that, because I just want to be normal and make friends again.
25:59OK, well, don't look at me for that.
26:02Look, if you want to stay here, you can do whatever you want, OK?
26:06But me and you, we will never be friends, so just leave me alone, OK?
26:11It's so lovely having Patrick home.
26:14He's moved things over with Mum, so I'm going to go and see her tomorrow.
26:18I'm sure you'll find a way to make things right.
26:21Do you need anyone to look after Jordan?
26:24Well, I'm free if you do need someone.
26:27Would that be OK? I can always ask on to care.
26:30I'd love to.
26:31You know I'd like to spend as much time with Jordan as I possibly can.
26:35For a life's sake.
26:43Just put Jimmy down and Louie's having his screen time.
26:47I'm glad we can just...
26:50..um, put it all behind us and we'll move on.
26:53We're not moving on from this.
26:56We have to, Peter.
26:58It's not fair on the kids to be at each other like that.
27:02Peter.
27:03What?
27:07Here you go.
27:10What's that?
27:10I packed you a few things.
27:12No.
27:13No, Peter, please.
27:15Lauren, if you care about this family at all, you will take this bag and you'll go stay with Penny.
27:18Because I can't...
27:19I literally cannot even look at you right now.
27:22I can't.
27:23What about the kids?
27:24They need me.
27:25Now you're thinking about the kids, yeah?
27:29All I do is think about the kids.
27:32And you.
27:34And...
27:35I just...
27:36We can get through this.
27:38I'm sorry.
27:39Fine, I can't hear you say sorry one more time.
27:43You've lied to me.
27:45Over and over.
27:46And if you stay in this house for another second,
27:50I'm going to start saying things that I'm going to regret for the rest of my life.
27:53So please, I'm begging you, just...
27:56Just go.
28:23You've lied to me.
