00:00It's time to take a look.
00:08It's time to get inspired all the time.
00:15It's time to take a look.
01:21Come on.
01:23Oi.
01:27You were sure we should have made this coffee?
01:31Yeah.
01:32Well, you know she never messes you.
01:34She just...
01:35Sharon!
01:36Get out of me!
01:37Come here, mate!
01:38Why did I even hurt you?
01:40How was the flight?
01:41You can have one of these now, please.
01:43So when were you going to tell me Zoe Slater's back in town?
01:48I've missed you, mate.
01:52How can you abandon a baby?
01:54What, like I was made to?
01:55Well, you didn't abandon her.
01:56You just...
01:57I just didn't tell her that I was her mum.
01:58Why is it a bit different, Kat?
02:00That poor girl struggling.
02:02Not telling me all those years that wanted to see me feeling all that shame.
02:05I would never leave, Charlie.
02:06I just wanted you to know why that Greg shot her,
02:08and why he came looking for her.
02:09I won't help my mum hostage.
02:11See, it doesn't make sense.
02:13If she thought he knew where her son was, why did he come and shoot her?
02:18Jean, it's all a little bit raw at the moment, darling.
02:20What has Zoe done that's so bad to have made him so angry?
02:23I mean, you and you could have got killed.
02:25Well, we didn't.
02:26So, come on, Jean, Cindy's going to kill us.
02:28If Jack and Ravi hadn't turned up, I don't know what would have happened.
02:32Yeah, but it ain't going to clean itself.
02:34Come on.
02:35Come on.
02:38I failed for her losing her baby for abandoning the other one.
02:41Well, haven't you ever done something you've regretted?
02:44Do you know, it's just been drama, drama, drama since she got back.
02:47Well, I want her to know that we're here.
02:48You could have got killed.
02:50She could have got killed.
02:51Wake up!
03:05Hello?
03:06Is someone going to help me?
03:11Yeah.
03:13Hello.
03:14Hi.
03:15Oh, Lauren, can you help me?
03:17You're the one that wanted us to move in.
03:19I've got sticky fingers.
03:21Yeah, well, be careful.
03:22Yeah.
03:24I've got to take Jimmy to his sensory cast.
03:26Yeah, but that's why I'm here, so you can go to work.
03:28Yeah, Mum's right, we need the money.
03:30It's his first one, Peter.
03:32I don't think your mum should be bringing him.
03:34Yeah, but then I thought Peter could take him.
03:36Well, he has got work and all.
03:38Squeeze me.
03:40Um, I had you as a bigger cup.
03:43I want Smiler's taking his sticky fingers out of my stuff,
03:46then maybe he can run the store.
03:48Unless you want him messing up selling cars.
03:50Listen, I thought when you said you were going to come and help her...
03:53Peter, I have got my own business to run, you know.
03:56Did you think I was going to change nappies?
03:58Right, can somebody bring the rest of my things up, please?
04:03Don't look at me.
04:05I've got work.
04:09You know what?
04:11I'm thinking that I might just see if they want to put their logo
04:15on my beautiful new camera band.
04:18Thank you, Harry.
04:21Or on the car.
04:23Buy a pipe, really.
04:24Yeah, but this is a branding deal, babe.
04:26Do you know what I mean?
04:27Huh?
04:28And if other brands see that I've got a brand deal,
04:31and it's included on branding my automobile...
04:36Well, hold on.
04:37You've got a brand deal?
04:38Ah, yes.
04:40Ian, I've got a brand deal.
04:42Yeah?
04:43A real one.
04:44Not like an eel shop.
04:45That's why she needs a motor.
04:46Exactly.
04:47Well, whatever brand you've imagined...
04:49Gelato gelato, yeah?
04:51It's on the high street.
04:52Oh, so ice cream shop.
04:54Dinner, desserts.
04:56Yeah?
04:57Thirteen, actually.
04:58Mm-hmm.
04:59And I have worked for months to put sprinkles on this one,
05:02so if you don't mind.
05:03Drive safe there.
05:05Of course I will.
05:07Car disasters are so last year.
05:10Or the year before.
05:12You know, history.
05:13History.
05:14All right.
05:15See you later.
05:16Go.
05:17Here we go.
05:18Get it.
05:19Get it.
05:20Whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:21Get it.
05:22Get it.
05:23Get it.
05:24Get it.
05:25Get it.
05:26Get it.
05:27Get it.
05:28What is it?
05:29I've got a meeting to get to.
05:30Your camera bag was on the roof and it's...
05:33You what?
05:35No, no, no, no.
05:38What?
05:39No, you're joking, innit?
05:40You're joking.
05:41You're joking.
05:42No, no, no.
05:43Do me a favor.
05:45All right.
05:46Here we go.
05:47Thanks.
05:48Oh, do me a favor.
05:55All right, here we go.
05:59Thanks.
06:02I'll be sleeping.
06:05Why don't you have a coffee and then go and have a lie down, Sharon?
06:08I just thought I'd come back and put everything behind me.
06:13Look, to be honest, I thought if you knew,
06:17you might not come home at all.
06:19Look, your sister's already bitten her head off, so...
06:21Look, I just showed her where the line was.
06:24But if we're all going to live here...
06:27She got pregnant by our dad and tried to persuade Dennis it was his
06:31so she could take him away from me.
06:34She left our dad for dead and tried to cover it up.
06:38So whatever lines you think you've shown her...
06:40She will be gone before you know it.
06:42Yeah, in a body bag I've put her in.
06:44Right, look.
06:49Your mum, Mark's been over.
06:51Oh, with some new trollop?
06:53He's going to take her to Florida with him.
06:56Oh!
06:56Yeah, well...
06:58After Martin, then what with you being here,
07:00she wants a whole new start.
07:02She's going to live with my brother?
07:04May as well join her.
07:05Come on, Zoe was 20 years ago, Sharon.
07:08You wasn't here, you didn't know her.
07:11I do know you've got to stop running around and put you and Albie first.
07:13Come on.
07:15You need stability and we need you.
07:18Take that.
07:20Come on.
07:23Family's family.
07:25He's right.
07:27And if you can forgive Chrissie Watts...
07:29Chrissie Watts ain't living opposite.
07:34If she wants nothing but drama, I can up my game a bit.
07:37Jean just gets worked up.
07:38Kat, he held a screwdriver to your neck.
07:41Oh, someone singing to Jean's choir.
07:43We've all had a fright.
07:44Oh, and that's why you went and told everyone I'm some hideous monster who walked out on her kid.
07:48No, but they were asking why that Greg come after you.
07:51Now, Alf is the only one who knows the whole truth.
07:53They don't know what you've done to him.
07:54So, you just need to keep your head down.
07:56Sharon Watts has just got out of a taxi.
07:58You think that heap of peroxide is going to be all right with me keeping my head down?
08:03Listen, Zoe.
08:04Sharon ain't what you think.
08:06All right, you didn't see her after Martin.
08:07She is broken.
08:08It's all right.
08:09She hasn't been the same since losing her boy.
08:11Now, listen, Zoe.
08:13Sharon might have, like, you know, the big house and the big business.
08:15What, you mean she popped out another kid before the one I saw?
08:20Hmm.
08:21Drowned in a boat in accident.
08:22It was the last thing she had of Dennis.
08:26Tell me Dennis weren't the dad.
08:28So you're not the only one who knows what it feels like to lose a kid, all right?
08:31Sharon ain't going to start any wars.
08:33Well, I can crack on then.
08:34Find someone who can help me find my boy.
08:35Yeah, I promised you that we'll do that.
08:38You've got a problem with that?
08:40I mean, because you've got a daughter that you never bother seeing.
08:43We are all on your side.
08:45I ain't judging you.
08:46I mean, I still don't understand why you'd walk out on a baby, but...
08:51My baby girl died in the hospital.
08:58I looked at my boy and I thought, if I can't keep her alive, how am I going to be able to take care of him?
09:06I can't even take care of myself.
09:07I wish you'd asked for help.
09:10And I wish I had a yacht, but...
09:12If not me, anyone could have asked the dad.
09:15I'm asking you now.
09:17And I told you, we're going to do that, all right?
09:19He's my grandson.
09:20I'll get the police.
09:21Oh, great.
09:22Get me banged up for abandoning a baby.
09:24Perfect.
09:25We need an investigator.
09:27Someone proper.
09:29Not like the one who found Greg, who was barred in basement.
09:32And we'll find one.
09:33We'll give you the money.
09:34I told you it wouldn't take long for her to come over.
09:38If that's Sharon, tell her I'll talk to her.
09:40No, I'll talk to her.
09:43Um, Doe, it's, uh...
09:46Dear Spencer.
09:48If you've let him go, I would have killed her.
09:50Greg, Dolan has been charged with attempted murder.
09:53But he alleges that you assaulted him.
09:55Oh, yeah, of course he would.
09:57I've come because I need you to come down to the station for questioning.
10:00Oh, Sharon, just, just sleep on it.
10:05We've been on a flight for 24 hours, come on.
10:07We're just going to talk to her.
10:08No, Melanie, try to kill me.
10:10This is a different allegation about the attack truck in June.
10:13Just try and stay calm, yeah?
10:14Yeah, protect the murderer.
10:15Don't worry about the victim.
10:16But you'll be out of there in minutes.
10:18You could just get in the car, please.
10:19You do not touch me.
10:20Oh, they're just doing their jobs.
10:24Tickets are ten quid for those in the cheap seats.
10:26You ain't changed, have you?
10:27I'll follow you down there, Zoe.
10:28I ain't done nothing, no.
10:30What happened?
10:31Oh, apparently the bloke you shot is now accusing of his son.
10:34This is a waste of time.
10:37You got a good lawyer?
10:39First day at school again, isn't it?
11:03Not for them, obviously.
11:06I've been doing my whole, uh, pull your socks up, act confident look.
11:10Can't kidder, kidder.
11:11I am faking it to the bones of my bones.
11:14All right.
11:14So, bongos, big hoops, spongy things that look like a breeding ground for various subtropical diseases.
11:23Or we can see how many biscuits we can steal.
11:27Well, I suppose this is a sensory class, innit?
11:29And biscuits, they tick off one of your five senses, don't they?
11:32Oh, two, I reckon, if you're too loudly enough.
11:35Oh.
11:36Oh, this is Layla, by the way.
11:38Hi, Layla.
11:40This is Jimmy, and I'm Peter.
11:42Demi.
11:43Nice to meet you.
11:44I need Ritchie.
11:54Come in, what about you?
11:56I need you to pay for it.
11:58Is this about...
12:00It's just Jack said that...
12:01They've taken Zoe in for questioning.
12:02I'm taking Raymond for a walk as soon as he's finished lunch.
12:05That bloke that took us all hostage, yeah?
12:06What, the one that they think shot her?
12:09There's no think about it, yeah?
12:10He's now accusing her of all sorts.
12:11He's saying that she attacked him months ago.
12:14He's obsessed with her.
12:15Well, let her tell them that.
12:16But she's had another massive trauma,
12:18and yet now she's stuck down there with some duty solicitor,
12:20and he's probably sitting there in scuffed-up brown shoes
12:23and a crumpled black shirt.
12:24Yes, I'm glad you're all right, but I ain't got time about this, are you?
12:27She's looking for her kid, yeah?
12:29Who was put into care years ago.
12:31Does that sound familiar?
12:34I'll just go check he's finished.
12:36When her and Sam was in trouble with Chrissie Watts,
12:42you couldn't be there, but you can now.
12:45Is that the best you can do?
12:46Because you've already had an advance on a divorce.
12:49You spoke to Tommy today, eh?
12:52Because he was terrified.
12:54So, Liz, you want me to tell him
12:57that it's your fault that that bloke's been let out of jail?
13:00Call Richie now, please.
13:01Oh, I've changed the road to now moving with Peter and Lauren,
13:06you'll be seeing a bit less of me.
13:08Oh, well, we'll try to cope without you.
13:11Do you need these bottle wings?
13:14Mo, for a scrubber.
13:15Can you do a bit more scrubbing, please?
13:16Oi, we don't use the word scrubber.
13:18Freddie, you're spilling that.
13:20Well, I'd be less nervous if you stopped watching me.
13:22It's called supervision.
13:24Mo, can you mop?
13:26Have you got grandchildren to go and look after?
13:28Have you paid the deposit yet for Johnny's birthday?
13:30He's my grandson.
13:33I can take out of your wages if you like.
13:35Look, why don't I manage the stuff?
13:37Yes, exactly.
13:38Why don't you?
13:39Freddie!
13:40Stop watching me.
13:41Stop watching him!
13:42Mo, mop!
13:51Mate.
13:52OK, so, I forgot the renewal.
13:59Do not shout at me.
14:01I'm not shouting it.
14:02No insurance, no equipment.
14:04No equipment, no brand deal.
14:05Get another brand deal.
14:06Have you ever had a brand deal?
14:07No, you haven't.
14:10Sorry.
14:12I mean, you bought me a car.
14:14My own automobile.
14:15Yeah, well, when a man has a queen.
14:17Which I'm now going to have to sell to buy new equipment.
14:20You can't.
14:21But the desserts are not going to sprinkle themselves, Harry.
14:23I mean, people can't even leave their stuff on a car and drive off.
14:27But to be able to reverse over it, now we're talking some proper skill sets.
14:30I'll, um, I'll buy you new equipment.
14:34I'll do some more work, get some extra shifts or whatever.
14:37You know, the first time that I met you, impersonating my husband, I knew you were a keeper.
14:55We're just trying to find a motive.
14:58He was carrying the gun that was used to shoot you.
15:01He came to your mother's home, held a weapon to your throat, to your mom's throat.
15:06And all we're trying to establish is why.
15:09Ask him.
15:10We did.
15:11He said you went to his house and committed grievous bodily harm.
15:14Couldn't have been that grievous.
15:16Well, perhaps you can tell us exactly how grievous it was.
15:20Two sugars and let it brew.
15:22And, uh, one for my client when we finished our conference.
15:26Miss Slater has representation.
15:29And we're all grateful for your time, but I'll be collecting it from here.
15:33Interview suspended at 1311.
15:36And, uh, that camera better be off.
15:44And you'd better have something nice sorted for Mother's Day next year.
15:50Nothing at all?
15:52Maybe shapes and lights, but he's not even six months yet.
15:58That's tough.
15:59One day at a time, isn't it?
16:02I mean, having babies is tough, full stop.
16:04I know.
16:04Tell me about it.
16:06Oh, good boy!
16:11Is she, uh, is she not sleeping now?
16:13Oh, night shifts.
16:14Me, not her, obviously.
16:16She doesn't work yet.
16:17Soon as she's old enough to send her up chimneys.
16:20Would you...
16:21What do you do?
16:24You'll laugh.
16:26Well, I won't laugh.
16:28I'm...
16:28Although, you might...
16:31Oh, sorry.
16:31You might have to wait, though.
16:32I think it smells like you...
16:33Whoa!
16:35Sorry.
16:35That's a proper prune army.
16:37Oh, and it's leaking.
16:38Just go and change him.
16:39Get some fresh clothes on the boy.
16:40You have got some.
16:41I, uh, I didn't think to, uh...
16:44Use whatever you could find.
16:46Just go.
16:48Thank you so much.
16:49Oh, wow.
16:50Oh, wow, that smells.
16:51Okay.
16:52Wait.
16:54Wait.
16:55Just let Richie do her job.
16:56You don't know.
16:57What if they've got evidence?
16:58What if that blunt issue is we've grossed her up?
17:02Bloke?
17:02Yeah, she went round that Greg's and she had that bloke.
17:06You don't even know if she's telling the truth.
17:08I know, I know.
17:08Just one laugh to another, yeah.
17:10She went round his house and we don't know who he is.
17:15Well, he can't be that important if you're the only one that she told you about.
17:18Yeah, we don't even know if the baby actually exists, so I...
17:20I've seen the tattoo.
17:22Little...
17:24Baby's footprints and angel wings.
17:26We don't know who the father is.
17:28Does it matter who the father is?
17:29Well, yeah.
17:30She might not be the only one looking for that boy.
17:32He probably doesn't even know that she had him.
17:34You don't know that.
17:35You don't know nothing.
17:36Are you even a little bit worried, Kat?
17:40Worried about Tommy, the twins?
17:42I just want her to find my grandson.
17:43I want her to know that he's loved.
17:45Okay.
17:46Well, if she does find her, mate.
17:48Kat, you know better than anybody, these things don't end up like sunshine and roses, do they?
17:52She's in no place to be a mum, Kat.
17:54Right.
17:55I want her out of here, yeah?
17:57I've only just got her back.
17:58Yeah, we all want her out of there.
18:00But I'm just saying, if you take her at a word about anything, you don't know where this is going to end.
18:08So, unless you're saying it wasn't him...
18:10It wasn't.
18:11My client has no comment.
18:13We're just building the overall picture, tying down a motive.
18:17And that is your job and not my client's.
18:20Which is why we're interviewing...
18:22The victim of a string of violent crimes committed by a man who's clearly gaslighting you into believing that he's the real victim here.
18:32So, unless you have any evidence you've yet to disclose...
18:37CCTV, DNA, witness statements...
18:40The hospital records from the time corroborate Mr. Dolan's account.
18:44Showing that he was attacked, but not by who?
18:46I think you've wasted enough of our time, don't you?
18:55Kat, the Vic's barely above water and we've got a mountain of a mortgage.
19:00It ain't about the money.
19:01Didn't you say something like get a private investigator?
19:04They don't work for toffee apples, you know?
19:06Then I'll get a loan.
19:08I'll sell the cab office.
19:09I'll sell the laundrette.
19:10I'll sell...
19:10You don't say don't help her.
19:11What is going on in there?
19:12Richie is...
19:13You're saying slow down, Kat, all right?
19:14Till you've got the whole story.
19:16Now anyone who owns a pub?
19:22Yeah.
19:28It's a little, it's a little.
19:36It was Granny.
19:37Don't judge me.
19:39I will support him whatever his future choice is, so...
19:43Mm-mm.
19:43Thanks.
19:48Swap numbers?
19:50Uh, I'm...
19:51I'm engaged.
19:52I've got...
19:53I've got a loan.
19:55I wasn't asking for a date.
19:57But if you want to send all those sparkles back by pigeon post...
20:01Oh, oh, yeah, sorry.
20:03Yeah.
20:07What, was that you?
20:08I told you you'd love.
20:10We've all got to make a living, son, Al.
20:12You?
20:13You're a...
20:14Balesque artist.
20:14Artist.
20:15Before you say stripper.
20:18And I put my number in and stopped staring at my tassels.
20:21I wasn't.
20:23You've got a Lauren.
20:23My mum would never lend you any towel.
20:30She might wrap you in one, like an Egyptian mummy.
20:33Walford businesswomen lend each other things, Ian.
20:36And what are you going to lend her?
20:37Migraine?
20:38All right.
20:39All right, Fitz.
20:40You two got any shifts going?
20:42Here, the Albert, Chippy?
20:43Uh, not unless you want to teach my cleaning ladies how to order supplies.
20:48Need camera equipment, do you?
20:50Well, maybe you should teach your staff properly.
20:52Ian, I've just done a new rota, so I can spend more time without family.
20:57Ain't it enough for the little lad's blind?
21:06Daryl.
21:06Yes, mate.
21:07Busy, busy.
21:08So, um, what's going on with your delivery firm?
21:11Have you got any shifts or what?
21:13Oi, come on.
21:14Bubbles.
21:15Come on, we need to talk.
21:17After the ordeal, I've just been through.
21:18So, your mum just wants to talk.
21:20Oh, fine.
21:20I'll do it myself.
21:24Cheers.
21:26Bye, Tony.
21:29So, I had a good couple of offers on number five.
21:31So, even if Ravi ain't got me over a barrel no more...
21:34Looks like your mate's really bought it.
21:36She ain't, um, jumping at shadows anymore, so, Jack, it's over.
21:43Okay, why don't we just take this upstairs, yeah?
21:45The man who shot me, who tried to kill us all, he's behind bars.
21:49Questioning of it.
21:51All the drama is behind us.
21:53And after the utter nightmare I've just been through, I'm having a drink.
21:56Oh, I'm having a drink.
22:09Sorry.
22:10I'm having a drink.
22:12Come on.
22:13Come on.
22:14Come on.
22:14Come on, come on.
22:22Oh!
22:23Freddie, if that is you!
22:25I swear I didn't say that.
22:26Right, you are fired.
22:28Excuse me, I thought I managed to start off.
22:30Fine, you're fired then.
22:32Oh, don't be ridiculous, you can't fire her.
22:33Clean Slater's earned the contract.
22:35So the next time Clean Slater's come, leave that one at home.
22:38Cindy, why are you coming?
22:41I'll make you a cocktail.
22:42Why don't you shove a cherry up it?
22:45Otherwise you are going to be next.
22:46Right, nothing to see here.
22:48Show's over.
22:48Sacking a pinch, you know.
22:50That's o'phobia.
22:51Don't worry, darling.
22:53Just finish for today, all right?
22:55All right, you're in love.
22:57Show's over.
22:59Miserable cow.
23:00Sharon, listen, we've had a bit of a day.
23:14And I've already had to deal with your guard dog.
23:15Did she just call me your dog?
23:16Miss L'Ocrissie, she doesn't send her love in, neither do I.
23:20If you're about to say, let's take this outside.
23:23Sharon, please, darling.
23:24I wasn't talking to you, Alfie.
23:26But it's good to see about where you belong.
23:29You tried to kill my dad.
23:31You might not have landed the final blow, but...
23:33He tried to get me pregnant, so...
23:35So you could take the man I loved.
23:36You took him first!
23:37Listen, ladies, seriously, can we take this somewhere else?
23:39When I met Chrissie in prison...
23:41You were in prison?
23:42I'll never forgive her.
23:44But I get it.
23:45And I get you.
23:47And I've lost a really good mate this year.
23:49But I'm tired.
23:51And I've lost my son.
23:54The only thing I'd left of Dennis, and I don't want to do now,
23:56is to try and keep moving forward.
23:58So if you want to be here, then...
24:01Lonely's family.
24:03Don't worry.
24:05Don't get in your way.
24:15Right.
24:16Let's get this open.
24:17Yeah, let's take it upstairs.
24:18Come on.
24:19Sparkly tutu.
24:29Yeah.
24:30Uh, Lauren, we had a punami, actually, and, um,
24:33I had to borrow it.
24:34It's fine, Peter.
24:35And actually, your mum...
24:37She was right because I sold a car today
24:39and got some commission, and it should help us
24:41if Jimmy...
24:42We realise that he does like the feel of sequins.
24:45Mm.
24:46Can we just pretend that this morning didn't happen
24:49and just start the day over again?
24:51No dramas.
24:52Yeah.
24:53Yeah, no...
24:53Yeah, no dramas.
24:55So how was the sensory class?
24:57Did he manage to do anything?
24:58Uh, yeah.
25:00Yeah, yeah, he was...
25:01He loved it, and it was great.
25:02Um...
25:03Uh, I actually made a friend.
25:06It was good.
25:06Oh, good.
25:07Yeah.
25:07I bet you two were the only dads in there.
25:09Well, actually, uh...
25:12I should probably wash it out, Lauren.
25:15That's fine.
25:16Dirty, isn't it?
25:17Do you want a cup of tea?
25:18Yeah, go on now.
25:20Right, go on.
25:20That was close today.
25:35That Richie, she was something else.
25:37I mean, I thought you were scary, but...
25:39Sorry, stop, darling.
25:40She's being serious, all right?
25:42You went round that man's house and attacked him.
25:44Doesn't matter how scary Richie was.
25:46Ain't got any evidence.
25:47What, no-one saw you?
25:48No.
25:49But there was a bloke with you.
25:52Oh, thanks very much.
25:53No, it's true, isn't it?
25:55You open your mouth and lies fall out.
25:59Right, who was he?
26:00Who was the bloke you was with?
26:00It don't matter.
26:01Was he the dad?
26:03You've never mentioned the father.
26:07Listen, if you're still in touch with him,
26:08then maybe...
26:09No, because none of that is important.
26:11Not important.
26:12I stood in that bar of a weapon
26:14shoved in my throat.
26:16I'm sorry.
26:17Look, I'm sorry, all right?
26:18My kids.
26:19Stacey's kids.
26:20I know, and I'm sorry,
26:21but we're all here now,
26:22so what's the problem?
26:23The problem is,
26:24when I think it's the truth every day,
26:27it turns out not to be.
26:29I love you.
26:30Yeah, I love you,
26:30and I really want to help you.
26:32And I've got a grandkid out there somewhere.
26:36We're not in the space for this.
26:39So until you stop hiding things
26:41and you tell me everything...
26:43I'm sorry, Zoe,
26:46but I can't give you the money to find him.
