01:36 [Laughing]
01:38 Well done.
01:39 [Splashing]
01:41 [Laughing]
01:46 Pack it in. Pack it in.
01:49 Right, you won't be my favourite child anymore.
01:51 That is what you're going to do.
01:53 Right, stop it. Stop it.
01:55 [Screaming]
01:56 Don't you dare.
01:57 Don't you even think about it.
01:58 Think about what?
01:59 Don't you dare.
02:01 [Screaming]
02:03 I'm coming for you. I'm coming for you.
02:05 [Screaming]
02:06 I've got you.
02:07 [Screaming]
02:08 Here we go. Here we go. I've got you. I've got you.
02:09 Mum.
02:10 Don't you dare.
02:11 Mum. Mum.
02:12 Peter, how's mum?
02:13 She's here. She's here.
02:15 She got on the earlier ferry.
02:17 She's five minutes away.
02:18 I told her to tell the driver to pull up near the bridge.
02:21 All right.
02:22 Louis, you come with me.
02:26 Love, you better come with me.
02:28 All right.
02:30 Come on.
02:34 [Bells ringing]
02:57 20 euros, please, madam.
02:59 Mummy!
03:01 Oh, hello.
03:03 I'll get that.
03:04 20 euros.
03:05 It's got liquor.
03:07 Merci.
03:08 Non, c'est juste 20 euros.
03:09 No, no, it's fine.
03:10 Merci. Au revoir.
03:11 This is okay, isn't it?
03:14 Me coming over early.
03:15 Yeah, of course.
03:16 You seemed a bit shocked on the phone.
03:18 Surprised.
03:21 Mass surprised.
03:25 Why the change of plans?
03:26 Well, Louis sent me some photos.
03:32 Is that your swimming pool?
03:33 I can hold my breath underwater forever.
03:36 Wait, you used my phone without me knowing?
03:38 Look, there's a lovely photo of your dad in his trunks.
03:41 There's an image I'm not going to get out of my head for a while.
03:45 I just missed you so much.
03:46 It's been a hard week.
03:48 To be honest, I wanted to get away from my mum.
03:50 She's been doing me head in.
03:51 Also, look, who's that there?
03:55 There's like a woman on the edge of the frame.
03:57 Can you see?
03:58 That's Rose.
04:00 Come on, let's show you around.
04:03 I'll show you how far I can swim.
04:07 Wait, let's start off with Louis' favourite spot, no?
04:10 Yeah, there's massive spiders.
04:12 Yeah, massive.
04:16 Hey, spiders.
04:21 I don't know how you've done it all these years.
04:26 One minute, relaxing by the pool.
04:28 Well, try and relax a minute, then next.
04:30 I'd rather be back at home.
04:50 You all right?
04:51 Yeah.
04:53 Yeah, never better, never better.
04:55 Nothing I like more than a half-mile dash on a hot day.
05:02 Oh, do you know what?
05:03 We needn't have bothered.
05:05 Peter's taken them to the woods.
05:06 Oh.
05:08 Baguette fraiche, two just sautéed du four.
05:12 Just out of the oven?
05:13 Yeah.
05:15 I got its translation out, didn't I?
05:16 Well, it's out of respect for the French, isn't it?
05:18 When you're in France, do as the French do.
05:21 You made these yesterday?
05:23 Baguette and day-old bread taste better.
05:25 Every chef knows that.
05:27 Bonjour.
05:35 If I'd have been back in Waltham, I'd have sold a lot by now.
05:37 Baguette bon marché.
05:40 Six for three euros.
05:42 What's that?
05:43 Baguette's going cheap.
05:44 Six for three euros.
05:45 Three?
05:46 Ah, bonjour, madame.
05:47 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was just thinking that.
05:50 Two euros change.
05:53 Bonjour, mademoiselle.
05:56 I've left the float on.
05:57 There should be some in my bag.
05:59 Quatre, trois.
06:04 Bonjour, mademoiselle.
06:15 So, has your dad met someone?
06:18 Rose?
06:20 Not one she saw him in them trunks, no?
06:24 It's what Louis calls Madame Jean from next door.
06:27 He can't quite say her real name yet.
06:30 And he's the one she's besotted with.
06:32 Louis, be careful!
06:36 And what about you?
06:38 What, have I met someone?
06:42 You and your dad, you've been here for a few months now, haven't you?
06:45 What, have you kissed them made up?
06:48 I'm not too sure about the kissing, but yeah.
06:51 Yeah, yeah, we have.
06:53 It took time, though.
06:55 There's a lot to work through.
06:59 And then there's Lucy.
07:03 Not day goes by I don't think of her.
07:05 Yeah, I still miss her too.
07:07 But it's made me appreciate other people all the more.
07:14 Just makes it feel even more important, I suppose, you know?
07:18 When you lose someone special, you really don't want to lose anyone else.
07:24 Dad, can we mend the den?
07:28 Pew, pew!
07:40 Here.
07:42 Thanks.
07:46 I thought George was his big mistake.
07:50 I switched old mate.
07:53 Why are you suddenly talking about George?
07:55 Why are you suddenly carrying a photo of him around in your bag?
08:00 What if Peter had found this?
08:02 I mean, Louis is in and out of your bag all the time, and your girls are on it as well.
08:06 It's even got the date on the back, Marbella 2013.
08:08 What if Peter had found out about Gina and Anna as well?
08:10 It's not usually there.
08:12 So why is it in there now?
08:15 He called.
08:18 What?
08:19 Last night.
08:21 Mate, you told me you hadn't spoken to him in years.
08:23 I haven't.
08:24 And I didn't speak to him last night either.
08:28 It's just...
08:30 When I saw his name come up...
08:33 What, suddenly you get a funny feeling inside?
08:35 No!
08:37 I suddenly thought of the girls.
08:41 Me and George, that's long gone, but...
08:44 Gina and Anna, of course I'm always going to miss them.
08:48 All the time.
08:50 They're not the only children I'm always going to miss, are they?
08:56 So what did he want then?
08:57 I told you, I didn't speak to him.
09:00 I didn't answer it.
09:03 Every now and again he calls, late at night, when he's close up the bar.
09:09 Probably after too many brownies.
09:12 So he's still in Marbella then?
09:16 Ian, I am with you.
09:20 Not him.
09:22 You are here, he isn't.
09:25 Does that not tell you everything you need to know?
09:30 Excuse me.
09:32 What?
09:33 It's Mary.
09:35 I tried the sheet, this was the only other place I could think of.
09:39 Mary, what's happened?
09:41 Not here.
09:43 You got it?
09:51 Yes!
09:52 Steady, steady.
09:53 You know, as soon as we put this on top it's just going to collapse.
09:56 No, it'll be fine.
09:57 Are you sure?
09:58 Mmm, yes.
09:59 You're a liar.
10:00 You've just got to lower it down at the same time, okay,
10:02 so that one side isn't taking all the weight.
10:05 Wait, slowly, slowly.
10:08 Oh, yes!
10:10 Yes, come here.
10:12 See?
10:13 Teamwork.
10:14 Last one in, Zeronic!
10:15 Careful.
10:18 Oh!
10:21 Oh, I've text Peter.
10:23 Told him to stay away for at least the next hour.
10:29 Jackie Ford has died.
10:35 Died much as she's lived this last year or so, from what I've been told.
10:39 Unvisited, unmourned and alone.
10:44 The last of an unlamented line.
10:49 We knew she had no family left, but, um,
10:52 what about the people who used to work for her?
10:54 Those rats left that sinking ship long ago.
10:57 What about the people she was in league with?
11:00 Local chancers have been picking over the carcass of her old operation
11:03 ever since she first fell ill.
11:05 Who else can vouch for this?
11:07 I'm not going to take the word of just one person.
11:09 There's too much at stake here.
11:10 I have been doing this for 25 years, not 25 minutes.
11:14 I know exactly what's at stake.
11:18 Rose,
11:20 your witness protection programme
11:24 is over.
11:27 She's gone.
11:29 Love?
11:41 (footsteps)
11:44 Well, I thought she'd be dancing her jig.
11:57 That's all she's talked about since you told her that Jackie was in hospital.
12:00 Finally getting the Fords off of her back.
12:04 It's Ian, isn't it?
12:07 I saw George once, from a distance.
12:11 Can't remember seeing you before, though.
12:13 I'm way before George,
12:15 and I go back a lot further than 25 years.
12:18 Weren't you the one she shot?
12:21 Well, not actually herself.
12:24 It's going to take some getting used to,
12:31 when you've lived one life for so long.
12:33 It's never easy trying to adjust to another one,
12:36 all of a sudden.
12:39 But she can do that now.
12:42 She can go back to her old life.
12:45 It's just that my son, my youngest,
12:50 he's been putting pictures on social media of all her old haunts,
12:54 and, well, I was going to show her later.
12:57 I'd say where she goes and what she does
13:01 is rather up to her.
13:03 Look, I'm just trying to do what I've done
13:05 since I got out here in the first place.
13:07 I'm thinking of her. I'm looking after her.
13:09 I'm trying to keep her safe.
13:11 Keeping under the radar. Yeah, exactly.
13:14 Working on a stall in a busy market.
13:18 Very discreet.
13:31 So you were absolutely sure, 100% certain
13:34 there's no old faces from the old days
13:36 who might still be holding a grudge?
13:38 You just said it yourself.
13:40 Old faces, old days.
13:43 Jackie was no spring chicken when you two shared a cell.
13:47 If there are any of our old crew still around,
13:50 about the only thing they could hit you with now
13:53 are their Zimmer frames.
13:55 Just take time, OK?
13:59 Don't make any big decisions.
14:02 I'll call again in a few days once this all sinks in.
14:05 But when you do decide what you want to do,
14:10 where you want to go,
14:13 make it where you were happiest.
14:16 I've been happy enough here.
14:18 I haven't been for a year now.
14:22 I was in a terrible state back then.
14:27 I've seen you happier.
14:29 Thank you.
14:36 Hasta la vista.
14:38 [birds chirping]
14:41 [birds chirping]
15:08 [water pouring]
15:11 Get ready, Bobster.
15:19 And here we are at the Vic with the star of the show,
15:22 our very own, my best mate, Bobby Bill.
15:25 Ready for the cover.
15:27 It's embarrassing.
15:29 Great, OK, just smile.
15:31 Welcome to the Vic, all of you.
15:35 [announcer speaking]
15:38 Look, I know it will have come as a shock,
15:54 well, I'm saying as much to Mary.
15:57 It's what you've been waiting for.
16:00 It's what we've talked about.
16:03 Stop living this half-life now.
16:05 Get rid of Rose.
16:07 Go anywhere you want.
16:10 Why is everyone talking about going away all of a sudden?
16:13 Oh, Ian, please, you're not still thinking about George and Marlbea, are you?
16:18 No.
16:20 I was thinking about Walford.
16:24 Walford?
16:25 Well, yeah, why not?
16:27 Please, I think I'd rather have the Fords,
16:29 with or without those Xemaphraens, rather than your old mum.
16:32 Yeah, I mean, it comes as a shock, granted, but...
16:35 Don't let Cheryl understand.
16:38 Oh, let's face it, if anyone should, she should.
16:41 I made a lot of other enemies there, too.
16:44 Yeah, when it comes to league tables, I think I'd top them.
16:47 Anyway, things have changed.
16:51 I've changed.
16:53 Not the same person I was then.
16:56 No.
16:58 Look, you're going to be a different person wherever we end up.
17:01 If we go back there, like, if...
17:05 We've got businesses, and good ones, too.
17:08 That was the one place I was told I could never go back.
17:11 Yeah, but that was then. This is now.
17:14 Anyway, we don't have to decide straight away, I suppose.
17:21 No.
17:25 Look, you've seen what the baguette stall's making,
17:28 and I rentched you on this place at the end of the month,
17:31 and the money that Peter bought over, well, that'll be gone soon, too.
17:35 So we do need to go straight away?
17:38 No.
17:40 All right, maybe before the wedding.
17:42 What wedding?
17:44 My mother is getting married again.
17:46 Bobby told Peter last night, and apparently he's been trying to track me down.
17:49 Oh, I see what this is all about.
17:51 It's got nothing to do with me, has it? It's all about you and your family!
17:54 No, no, this is a chance for us to rebuild our family!
17:57 Stop camping out in places that we can't afford and start again!
18:02 You told me you'd be there for me! You'd protect me!
18:06 Yeah, and I am! But this changes things, doesn't it?
18:10 Oh, yeah, it's changed all right. Now you're just throwing me to the wolves!
18:13 Oh, I'm talking about going back to Walford, not some war zone!
18:16 Why do we have to go anywhere anyway?
18:18 We're safe here, we've got neighbours, people we can trust!
18:21 Yeah, and people who don't know who you really are!
18:24 Exactly!
18:25 And who don't know who I am!
18:27 So I have to be careful every time I say anything, in case I slip up!
18:30 Fine! Go on, leave me, walk away!
18:33 It wouldn't be the first time!
18:34 I have stuck by you through everything!
18:37 We could have a good life here!
18:45 A happy one.
18:49 With Peter!
18:54 He loves it here.
18:55 You just want to throw it all away!
18:59 Nothing to say?!
19:03 That's a first.
19:09 Look at that.
19:15 I've missed this.
19:18 What? Pulling twigs and leaves out of my hair?
19:23 Yeah.
19:24 Not playing with Louis.
19:26 Doing dad-son stuff.
19:29 You know, family time.
19:31 It's not a total breeze, you know.
19:36 Bringing up an overactive seven-year-old.
19:38 Yeah. Yeah, especially on your own.
19:44 Yeah.
19:48 So does it have to be?
19:51 Have you ever thought that maybe we could try again?
19:59 Ian? Don't sulk! This is difficult enough as it is!
20:06 If you started packing...
20:14 Ian?
20:21 Ian?
20:22 Look at us. Look at Louis. We're good together. We always have been.
20:27 Yeah. New Zealand was great.
20:29 And I'm sorry about that. And it's no excuse, I know, but...
20:34 With everything that had happened...
20:37 But I don't do any of that no more.
20:42 You don't, no?
20:44 No.
20:45 You don't go off for days drinking, sleeping with any girl you can?
20:48 No. I was a mess back in Walford too.
20:52 Being a mess makes it okay, does it? When you sleep with your brother's girlfriend.
20:57 Yeah. Whitney told me about that, so don't pretend that didn't happen.
21:01 Cleared out Gran's bank account too. Left her high and dry.
21:09 You're not really selling me this brand new shiny Peterbilt?
21:14 I'm just being honest. I'm just trying to be straight.
21:16 I know I wasn't any of that before, but...
21:20 Come on, everything's changed now. Everything's different.
21:24 Different how?
21:25 I just want to get everything out there.
21:28 Once and all, so you know I'm telling you the truth and I tell you I still love you.
21:33 I love you. I just want to start again.
21:39 PHONE RINGS
21:43 Oh, no.
21:45 Look, Lauren, we just... we just think about it, please.
21:50 That's all I'm asking. Just think about it.
21:53 PHONE RINGS
21:56 Who is it?
21:57 Hello?
22:00 Peter's on his way, okay? Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.
22:08 Don't... don't even think about it.
22:11 I do love you, you know.
22:14 All the others, it's only ever... ever been you.
22:19 I'm going to go see what's happening and let you know, okay?
22:38 Well, how's it? Why can't I come with you?
22:40 Two minutes ago you were talking about us getting back together and now you're just freezing me out.
22:43 I just thought you might want to stay with Louis.
22:45 He'll be all right with that Madame Jean or whatever.
22:47 You said it yourself, she adores him.
22:50 I'm coming with you. Let's go.
22:52 Come on, Peter.
22:56 Is he okay?
23:02 So, it is Mr Ian Beale, yes?
23:06 Please look after him.
23:11 And you are?
23:13 Cindy Beale.
23:18 What?
23:20 Lauren.
23:35 Lauren!
23:39 Lauren, please just...
23:41 Lauren, please just let me explain.
23:44 Explain?
23:45 How?
23:50 You weren't supposed to find out like this.
23:52 She'd been here this whole time and you knew.
23:54 I didn't know, only Dad did.
23:56 And he only found out the last year or so.
23:58 Whatever you're thinking, right now I thought too.
24:02 It ain't happening, it can't be.
24:04 She was inside.
24:09 Lucy told me that she was in prison and she died giving birth to Cindy.
24:14 Well, she's obviously not dead, is she?
24:17 Was she even in prison?
24:20 That's where it all started, Lauren.
24:22 That's why she went into witness protection in the first place.
24:25 Witness protection?
24:27 She did this deal.
24:29 Oh.
24:32 So that's why she's been living it up in the middle of nowhere for the last 20 odd years.
24:37 Peter!
24:38 There's more to it than that.
24:41 It's complicated.
24:43 Isn't it just?
24:45 So you knew.
24:58 About Lucy, you must have done.
25:01 You knew and you didn't even come back.
25:04 I had no choice.
25:07 Your daughter had just been murdered.
25:09 Yeah, and if Mum had come back it wouldn't have just been Lucy who ended up dead.
25:12 How can you think about yourself at a time like that?
25:14 I didn't.
25:15 It was Peter too and Ian, the whole family.
25:19 These people, you don't know them.
25:22 The ones you grasped up.
25:24 And they wouldn't have stopped with me.
25:27 They would have wanted to send out a message.
25:29 Okay, yeah.
25:31 And that's all very logical and clear.
25:35 I just don't understand how you can be clear and logical when your child has just been killed.
25:39 I wasn't.
25:40 Everything just...
25:43 Everything just fell apart.
25:47 How long would you have got?
25:55 If you didn't take that deal?
25:58 Not a few years.
26:03 And then you would have been back out, back out with Lucy and Peter.
26:07 Stephen, Cindy.
26:09 Looking after him.
26:12 Like any mum should.
26:15 Keeping him safe.
26:19 Just get me a cab, Peter.
26:20 Madam Bill?
26:32 How are you?
26:34 I'm fine.
26:36 I'm fine.
26:38 I'm fine.
26:40 I'm fine.
26:42 I'm fine.
26:44 I'm fine.
26:47 How is he?
26:48 It is a heart attack.
26:50 But Mr. Bill is stable.
26:52 And in no immediate danger.
26:54 We will need to keep him in.
26:56 And there is a possibility we might need to insert a stent.
27:00 But we'll see.
27:01 I need to run some tests first.
27:03 In the meantime I can let you have a few minutes with him if you like.
27:07 Yes, please.
27:08 Just let us do his reading.
27:10 Okay, thank you.
27:14 It's a wonderful day, but I tell you something.
27:15 It's going to get a lot better.
27:17 I'm going to hand you over to George.
27:21 Our new landlord will be doing the honours, Mr. George Knight.
27:24 Thank you all for being here at our inaugural group of Stakeholders.
27:29 We're calling it "Battle of the Dats".
27:32 Along with his lovely daughters, Gina and Anna.
27:37 Who, if I do say so myself, are proper socks.
27:42 See you later, sir.
27:43 Oh, Ian.
27:47 Not business now, surely?
27:49 What's happening with Lauren?
27:52 Peter's trying to talk to her.
27:55 But don't you worry about that, okay?
27:57 All baguettes.
27:58 This is all my fault, isn't it?
28:00 Everything that happened at the G.
28:02 I did this.
28:04 I can't lose you now, Ian. Not after everything.
28:09 This has all been a big shock.
28:11 But the most important thing is that you get better.
28:16 Okay?
28:18 Lauren!
28:25 Lauren!
28:27 You know what?
28:38 For a minute there, I thought that we actually could do this.
28:43 We could do what you said.
28:46 Turn back the clock and pick up the pieces.
28:49 But you're never going to do it, are you?
28:53 You're never going to change.
28:56 You're still the same old Peter.
29:00 She's obviously the same old Cindy.
29:04 He's definitely the same old Ian.
29:07 All of you.
29:08 All of you are the same old liars that you've always been.
29:12 It wasn't business.
29:23 What?
29:25 It wasn't about the baguettes.
29:31 Bobby sent Peter some pictures from the square.
29:36 It was a Father's Day thingy in the Vic.
29:41 Oh, you're really missing the place, aren't you?
29:44 No.
29:47 Don't pretend.
29:48 I've been thinking the same too.
29:52 You know, maybe you are right.
29:56 What?
29:59 I was the only place I ever felt safe.
30:03 Settled.
30:06 The only place that ever really felt like home.
30:11 I was thinking maybe you were right.
30:17 Maybe I've been looking at it all through Rose-coloured watsits.
30:27 Let's face it, I started thinking about going home and ended up in here.
30:33 You've changed your tune all of a sudden.
30:36 I was seeing all the old haunts here.
30:43 I just started wondering, is it the right place for us after all?
30:54 Is it the right place for us after all?
30:56 The taxi's here.
31:08 Go get Louis.
31:11 Lauren.
31:14 It's just been a lot to take in.
31:19 A lot, I know.
31:21 Just, once you've had a bit of time...
31:26 This was just a fantasy, Peter.
31:34 A nice one, though.
31:37 But all of this, it just proves it.
31:46 You can't go back.
31:49 You can't go back.
31:50 How was he?
32:12 Just sleeping when I left.
32:15 What's all these?
32:18 Just looking at old photos.
32:20 Me and your dad on our wedding day.
32:24 Has Lauren left?
32:29 Yeah, she left just before you got back.
32:31 You're still in love with him, aren't you?
32:38 It takes two, though.
32:42 It takes two, though.
32:43 You and Dad getting back together, Mum, it's lovely.
32:50 Just not sure there's going to be happy ever after for us, though.
32:55 Don't give up on it.
32:58 You don't just turn it off.
33:00 Take it with you from someone who knows.
33:04 I love you, Mum.
33:10 I love you, Mum.
33:12 I love you.

33:58 From Lizzo to Lady Gaga, Sophie Ellis-Bexter's 'Bring in the Tunes',
34:02 her Kitchen Disco Pride special is now on BBC Sounds.
34:05 And it's adventure time in Northumberland.
34:07 Not sure I'm digging that cliff jump, though.
34:09 A right family holiday is here next.
