00:05 (upbeat music)
00:34 - I'm sorry, it must be a lot to take in.
00:37 - George.
00:38 - This is Rose.
00:41 - Rose?
00:44 But you said you--
00:44 - Do you know her real name?
00:45 - No, it blooming well ain't.
00:47 Cindy.
00:49 - I don't know.
00:52 She's meant to be dead.
00:54 - You must have a lot of questions.
00:56 - Now who the hell are you, for starters?
00:59 - I'm your mum, you know that.
01:00 - Our mum was called Rose Knight,
01:02 and Rose Knight should don't exist.
01:04 - That's enough.
01:05 Cindy, you okay?
01:06 Look, you need to take this somewhere more private, okay?
01:08 Linda, can I get upstairs, please?
01:09 - I don't know.
01:11 Yeah, yeah, I suppose so.
01:12 - No!
01:13 She's not going upstairs.
01:15 - I'm sorry, and you are?
01:17 - Elaine, his fiance.
01:19 - Please, George, just give me five minutes with him
01:25 to let me explain.
01:25 - No, she don't wanna hear it.
01:26 - Can you get rid of her, please?
01:28 - Yeah, she's right.
01:29 You've caused enough grief.
01:32 If the girls wanna get in touch, they'll call you.
01:34 - Please, George.
01:35 - I said no!
01:36 Don't talk to her like that.
01:37 - Dad, I need to hear what she's gotta say.
01:41 Please, G.
01:43 Please.
01:46 - Right.
01:47 You wait five minutes.
01:50 Come on, G.
01:56 - Oh, God.
01:57 - Ian, it's fine.
02:03 I love you, remember?
02:04 (exhales)
02:23 (sighs)
02:25 - Oh, I've missed you, son.
02:39 - I'm sorry I disappeared like that.
02:52 - It's fine.
02:53 You didn't miss much.
02:54 Looks like you've been busy, though.
02:58 I thought that she was dead.
03:00 - You recognized her?
03:02 - I've seen pictures.
03:04 Baby pictures with Peter and Lucy.
03:10 And you just brought her here.
03:16 - It wasn't like that.
03:18 - Without warning me.
03:19 - Look, I didn't know she was coming.
03:22 Look, I swear.
03:24 Bobby, I swear to you.
03:25 - Does she know?
03:31 - Bobby, Bobby.
03:44 She's had time to get her head around, okay?
03:50 - Right, she knows it was an accident.
03:52 She forgives you.
03:55 - You just don't get it, do you?
03:57 She will hate me, Dad.
04:00 They'll all hate me now.
04:04 - What do you mean, all?
04:05 Bobby--
04:07 - I missed you too, Dad.
04:08 I wanted you back.
04:10 I wished for it.
04:12 I guess you should be careful what you wish for.
04:18 (dramatic music)
04:20 - Thanks for giving me the chance to explain.
04:28 Could I have a bit of time with them alone?
04:34 - I'm not going anywhere.
04:36 - Quite right.
04:46 I'm sorry, I don't really know where to begin.
04:49 Seriously?
05:07 You let our Walsing off the street.
05:09 You give her the run of my home.
05:11 And now you are chucking me out of my own front room.
05:14 - She's not gonna say her piece with you, though.
05:17 The quicker she says it, the quicker she gets out.
05:19 Okay.
05:24 - I thought about this moment every hour,
05:40 every day for the past nine years.
05:46 I'm imagining what I'm gonna say, how I'm gonna feel.
05:49 Now it's actually happening.
05:51 And you're both just so beautiful.
05:56 I've missed you so much.
06:00 - Yeah, right.
06:01 - Just let her talk, G.
06:02 You must've known what that would do to us,
06:09 vanishing like that.
06:10 Where were you?
06:13 Where were you?
06:14 You both deserve an explanation.
06:20 And I'm gonna do my best to tell you.
06:23 - So her real name's Cindy.
06:26 - Yes.
06:27 - And she was with Ian, Kathy's son, years ago.
06:29 - In and off the square, according to my mum.
06:32 Do you think she's here 'cause I asked you to look for her?
06:35 - I don't know.
06:37 I don't know, but I'm gonna find out.
06:38 (people chattering)
06:41 - He won't talk to me.
06:45 Can you check up on him?
06:47 Phil?
06:53 - Ian.
06:56 (people chattering)
06:59 - Okay, so that's Bobby's dad,
07:10 and the woman is Anna and Gina's mum.
07:12 - I've just heard Sharon say that she's Ian's ex-wife,
07:17 and everyone thought that she was dead.
07:19 - Are you saying that Bobby's mum might not be dead?
07:23 - Not Bobby's mum, Peter's mum.
07:25 - Oh, I'm so confused right now.
07:27 - Didn't she try to get him shot?
07:28 - Yeah, and ended up in prison for it.
07:32 - Did she get back with someone who tried to have you killed?
07:35 - Yeah, well, he's told her why he looked her.
07:36 Obviously, he still loves her, doesn't he?
07:38 Mum said he was obsessed with her.
07:40 - Whatever happened to once bitten twice shy?
07:42 - Depends who's doing the biting.
07:44 (laughing)
07:47 - How'd you find her?
07:48 - I didn't.
07:49 She found me.
07:50 - She must've been desperate.
07:54 What do you want, Phil?
07:55 - I wanna know where your game is.
07:57 - There is no game.
08:00 What's it got to do with you, anyway?
08:02 - Well, I was looking for a rose,
08:04 and I couldn't find her.
08:06 So I'm thinking maybe me looking for her
08:09 is what's brought you two back here.
08:11 - Us coming back here had nothing to do with you.
08:14 And don't worry, we're not staying.
08:17 - Good.
08:18 Good, 'cause George is a mate,
08:20 and I don't wanna feel responsible
08:22 for bringing Lady Lazarus and her private boyfriend back
08:26 so that he can rip his family apart.
08:27 Let's go.
08:33 - See you later.
08:37 - See ya. - Yeah.
08:39 - Oi, what's going on?
08:51 - Rob was just stormed in, all upset.
08:53 And he won't tell us what's happened.
08:54 - He didn't get into a fight, did he?
08:56 - He saw Mum.
08:57 - What, she's still here?
09:00 Did you warn him?
09:02 - I was going to.
09:04 I didn't get a chance.
09:05 And then Dad turned up.
09:07 - Oh, lovely.
09:09 So now he knows his dad's back with that baggage again.
09:12 No wonder he was upset, bless him.
09:14 And you, well, you've thrown him under the bus
09:16 good and proper, ain't ya?
09:17 - Well, I know, Gran.
09:19 I was trying to protect him.
09:20 I got it wrong.
09:21 Now I need to go speak to him.
09:23 - Okay.
09:25 - Sorry, Bobby.
09:39 Why?
09:41 I wanted to tell you everything.
09:45 But Dad...
09:49 He made me swear I wouldn't say anything.
09:51 She wasn't even meant to be here.
09:54 Mum, I mean, she just came.
09:56 - But you knew that she was alive.
10:01 And that they were back together.
10:06 And you knew what that would mean for me.
10:11 - She doesn't blame you.
10:13 That's what you're worried about.
10:14 - Of course I'm worried about it.
10:18 - They're not staying, Bob.
10:19 You won't even have to see her.
10:21 If you just wait here, they'll be gone soon.
10:25 - But Anna won't.
10:26 - You told her?
10:31 About Lucy?
10:33 - She already knew.
10:34 And now she'll know that
10:38 Lucy was her sister.
10:41 - It was an accident.
10:46 - It doesn't matter.
10:48 There is no way that she'll be able to forgive me, Peter.
10:50 - I did.
10:52 - And on that night, the night I left,
10:59 those two lives collided.
11:00 The night I found out she was dead.
11:02 - I can't believe we had a sister.
11:06 - Two sisters.
11:08 The one who died was called Lucy.
11:17 You've got another one, Cindy Junior.
11:19 - Any more siblings you wanna tell us about?
11:22 - You had a brother, Stephen.
11:25 He died a few years after Lucy.
11:29 But you've got another brother and
11:32 he's alive and he's living here.
11:35 Peter.
11:37 Peter Beal.
11:40 - Bobby's brother?
11:43 But Bobby's not--
11:46 - No, no.
11:47 You're not related to him.
11:50 - I almost kissed Peter.
11:54 Oh God.
11:58 I feel sick.
12:01 - Why didn't you just come home?
12:05 I understand why you left.
12:11 But why didn't you come back to us?
12:14 - I've tried to explain it to you.
12:17 People wanted to hurt me.
12:19 And for all I know, the Ford family had killed Lucy
12:22 just to punish me.
12:24 I was scared.
12:25 I'm still scared.
12:27 And when I came back to London, I broke my cover.
12:29 And for all I know, they still had to get me.
12:31 - You're lying.
12:32 That's what you do, you tell lies.
12:35 You run away and you tell more lies.
12:36 - No, I was trying to protect you both.
12:38 - I protected myself.
12:40 I killed you off in my head after three months.
12:43 I had to.
12:45 That was how I protected myself.
12:47 She never did.
12:51 She always said you'd come back.
12:54 I said I didn't care if you did.
12:57 It turns out,
13:01 we were both right.
13:04 - Right.
13:05 - You would not believe what she told them.
13:18 - Were you listening at the door?
13:20 - Corsa was listening at the door.
13:22 She said she was in witness protection.
13:27 - Witness protection?
13:28 Really?
13:29 - Oh no, like this story, that woman is a liar.
13:31 You know what?
13:32 I'm gonna go upstairs and escort her out.
13:34 - Mum, mum.
13:35 I know this must be hard for you.
13:40 But you trust George, don't you?
13:43 - Yeah.
13:44 - Well then let him handle it.
13:46 Okay?
13:48 Come here.
13:50 Come on, darling.
13:51 - Do you think I should go up?
13:55 - Oh, what?
13:56 I'm not sure that's gonna help, Mers, to be honest with you.
13:59 - Someone else who wants to tete a tete.
14:01 Bit of French for you.
14:03 - Yeah.
14:05 Next time you swing by, drop off some croissants, all right?
14:07 - Yeah.
14:08 - Take care.
14:09 - What do you want, Sharon?
14:14 - I don't want anything.
14:16 But I've had lots of time to think.
14:19 About Danny.
14:21 What came after.
14:22 He and we have been friends since we were kids.
14:29 And no matter what's happened,
14:31 that still means something.
14:33 To me, at least.
14:34 - You tried to kill me.
14:38 - So did Cindy.
14:40 But you seem to find a way to get past that.
14:45 - Gee.
14:51 (soft music)
14:54 This is my most treasured possession.
15:08 Don't go anywhere without it.
15:11 For the last nine years,
15:14 I've kissed it every morning when I wake up.
15:17 And every night before I go to sleep.
15:22 (soft music)
15:25 - Hello.
15:26 Please.
15:28 This is all my fault, isn't it?
15:48 - How could any of this be your fault?
15:52 - The boy's man I left.
15:53 It must be why she's here.
15:55 - What?
15:59 What is it you're not telling me?
16:02 - I don't understand.
16:11 If you loved us,
16:13 all you had to do was call.
16:17 - I was an SG.
16:21 I was traumatized.
16:22 I couldn't think straight.
16:25 And then when I could, I was scared.
16:27 So scared for you, for me.
16:29 But believe me, I have never stopped loving you.
16:35 Not for one single second.
16:50 - She ain't here for us.
16:52 Making out you came looking
16:55 and you didn't even know we were here.
16:57 - She asked.
17:00 I'm not lying for you.
17:02 - You came looking for Peter, not us.
17:05 - I wanted to come back here ever since
17:07 Lucy and Stephen.
17:10 And then when I found out Jackie Ford had died in the summer,
17:12 it just seemed the obvious place where we should be.
17:14 - So you could have come looking for us months ago.
17:16 - I had no idea where you were.
17:18 - Well, you would have done if you'd have answered
17:19 any of my phone calls over the years.
17:21 - And my voicemail I left you last week.
17:24 - Voicemail? What voicemail?
17:25 - My text, you didn't get it either.
17:27 - Just stop, okay?
17:29 Look, you get it, she's a liar.
17:31 She can't help herself.
17:33 We cannot listen to a single word that she says.
17:38 She lied every day that she was with us
17:42 and she's doing it again now.
17:47 You got no idea what it was like for us, do you?
17:49 Going to bed with a mum that we loved.
17:54 Waking up the next morning, find out she's gone.
17:59 No message, no explanation, nothing, just gone.
18:03 And we waited and waited and nothing.
18:14 And every morning for years I thought maybe today,
18:17 maybe today is gonna be the day my mummy
18:22 walks in that door and gives me a coddle
18:24 and everything's just gonna go back to the way it was.
18:27 Now here you are.
18:30 You're too late, mum.
18:36 You're nine years too late.
18:41 (Sophie sighs)
18:43 - You all right, darling?
18:53 - Yeah, fine, we're just going out.
18:55 - Where you going?
18:56 - The party, up the road.
18:58 You coming?
18:58 - Well, yeah, but what about the boat?
18:59 - I'll get it, sir.
19:00 I just wanted to watch you.
19:02 - Well, whatever Cindy said,
19:07 doesn't seem to have knocked that one of us dry.
19:10 Mind you, Cindy always did have a way
19:12 of pulling the wool over people's eyes.
19:15 Oh, come on, Ian, what do you expect me to say?
19:17 I was there.
19:19 I saw what she did to you.
19:20 - It's different now.
19:23 And she's different.
19:24 We both are.
19:26 We look after each other.
19:29 And it's true.
19:33 I had a heart attack earlier this year.
19:36 If it hadn't been for her,
19:38 I don't think I'd have got through.
19:40 - Are you okay now?
19:42 - What?
19:43 - To keep taking the pills.
19:44 Eat well.
19:46 Keep an eye on my stress levels.
19:48 - And how's that working out for you tonight?
19:51 Does your mum know?
19:54 You haven't been to see her?
19:56 - There hasn't been time.
19:58 - Then make time.
19:59 - We're gonna be heading off as soon as this is sorted.
20:04 - You need to see her, Ian.
20:05 Think of your heart attack as a wake-up call.
20:09 People don't live forever.
20:10 You need to make things right.
20:13 - Did she say where she was going?
20:34 - I asked her.
20:35 She ignored me, just dashed out the door.
20:37 (door opens)
20:40 - Did you keep up your netball?
20:46 It was so good.
20:46 - Did you ever actually love us?
20:49 - Of course I did.
20:50 - I need you to be honest for once.
20:53 No more lies, please.
20:54 - I gave birth to you.
20:58 You're my babies, my girls.
21:01 I've always loved you, Anna.
21:03 - Just not enough.
21:05 (door closes)
21:08 - I've spent so many years missing you.
21:12 And now I realise I don't even know who you are.
21:18 I'm glad you came.
21:22 Means I don't have to waste my love on you anymore.
21:27 - George.
21:30 - Anna.
21:31 - So you're happy now?
21:34 (door opens)
21:36 (door closes)
21:43 - Didn't think you'd come.
21:53 If you're looking for Bobby, he's gone out.
21:58 And Peter's upstairs.
22:00 (door opens)
22:02 - I came to see you.
22:04 I wanted to see you before I left.
22:07 - Hmm, before you scuttle off with that floozy, you mean?
22:10 - Mum, I didn't come here to fight, okay?
22:12 I just wanted to come and see you and say I'm sorry.
22:19 And I've missed you.
22:21 Must be the husband.
22:27 - Yeah.
22:28 - Rocky, pleased to meet you.
22:30 - I heard you married a cotton.
22:32 How's that working out for you?
22:34 - We probably got more in common than you think, you know?
22:37 Both love you, Mum.
22:39 And both got dodgy tickers.
22:42 - Yeah, Cindy told us.
22:43 They're looking after you in France, are they?
22:46 Or wherever?
22:48 Got you on medication, the right stuff.
22:50 - She makes sure that I take it
22:51 and she got me eating right.
22:52 - Oh, well, guilty conscience, I suppose.
22:54 I mean, let's face it, she probably caused it.
22:56 - Oh, mother for the love of God, will you change the record?
23:00 You've been slagging her off for over 30 years.
23:02 Aren't you sick of it yet?
23:03 - No, I'm not.
23:04 Are you all right?
23:07 - Yeah.
23:10 Yeah, it's just been a stressful night, that's all.
23:15 - What's happened?
23:16 And where's Cindy?
23:17 - In the Vic.
23:21 With her other family.
23:25 (dog barking)
23:27 (upbeat music)
23:29 - Bob's Dad!
23:30 - Hey, you got my message, Dave?
23:32 - Yeah, is Anna here?
23:35 - No, not yet, she will be.
23:37 Gina's at the bar, though.
23:38 Anyway, for now, will you help me out
23:39 with your family tree, please?
23:40 'Cause I'm baffled.
23:42 Come.
23:43 - Yeah.
23:44 - All right, here.
23:44 - All right, tequila, make it a double.
23:46 - Ooh, secure, wait your turn, eh?
23:48 - So, Cindy and your dad were together.
23:52 And then she died, but then she come back to life,
23:55 and now they're back together again.
23:57 - Apparently, yeah.
23:58 - Well, that's kind of romantic.
24:00 - But she had a fling with George in between?
24:02 - It wasn't a fling.
24:04 Anna said they were together for years
24:05 before Cindy ran out.
24:07 - So I wonder why she left then.
24:09 Like, Anna said it was something like,
24:11 I don't know, nine years ago?
24:12 What's that all about?
24:13 - Oh, speaking of the devil, there she is.
24:17 Birthday girl.
24:19 (upbeat music)
24:21 - Hey, same again.
24:25 - How many have you had?
24:26 - Not enough.
24:27 - Can we go?
24:28 I can't talk to you here.
24:30 - What is there to talk about?
24:32 You got what you wanted, didn't you?
24:33 - Hello, boys.
24:39 How you doing?
24:40 - You've got great hair.
24:43 (people chattering)
24:46 - So this Cindy didn't actually know
24:54 that her daughters lived here?
24:55 - But you did, and you didn't tell her?
25:00 - You have to understand the state she was in
25:04 when she first got in touch.
25:06 All right, she was broken.
25:08 She was desperate.
25:09 She was totally alone.
25:11 - So she rang up the one mug
25:12 that she knew would drop everything to go and help her?
25:15 - I don't care if you think I'm a mug.
25:18 'Cause I did help, and she did get better,
25:20 and I wasn't gonna jeopardize her recovery
25:22 by telling her that her daughters were here.
25:25 Well, not yet.
25:26 - Did you know those girls
25:28 were your half-sisters all this time?
25:30 Then what are you playing at encouraging Bobby?
25:33 He's gone out looking for her.
25:35 - I just wanted him to see
25:35 that they could still be friends.
25:37 - I think we both know that he sees her as more than that.
25:41 - What are you talking about?
25:43 - The night girls.
25:44 Bobby's got a crush on the younger sister, Anna.
25:47 - Zach, we'll have another round of tequila, yeah?
25:55 - Anna, Anna.
25:59 Hey. - Hey.
26:02 - I just, I wanted to check you're okay.
26:04 'Cause you know how I feel about you.
26:07 I really like you,
26:09 and I thought that maybe you liked me too.
26:13 So I just wanted to make sure
26:15 that what's happened tonight hasn't changed that, right?
26:19 - We can talk about this later.
26:20 - Well, wait, Anna, just--
26:21 - Can you just back off, Bobby, please?
26:23 - Sorry.
26:25 Sorry.
26:27 Anna, is he all right?
26:31 - He's fine.
26:32 - Okay, good.
26:33 And are you all right?
26:34 'Cause I mean, that was like the craziest dude
26:35 you think you are I've ever seen.
26:37 - To be honest, I don't really wanna talk about it.
26:39 - Okay, well, look, that's a relief
26:40 'cause I ain't got a scooby what's going on,
26:42 but do you wanna drink?
26:44 - Yeah. - Okay.
26:45 - What?
26:48 - You haven't got a clue, have you?
26:49 They're fragile.
26:49 Gina's got loads of problems.
26:51 - Well, what kind of problems?
26:52 - Oh, where do I begin?
26:53 - That.
26:54 Right.
26:58 - Where are you going?
27:01 - I'm going to look for her.
27:03 I'll be back soon.
27:04 (footsteps tapping)
27:07 - Here you go.
27:10 - Cheers.
27:11 Is it just me or is she on something?
27:13 - She's just having a good time, that's all.
27:16 - Have you got any water, though?
27:19 - I could use a little bit.
27:21 - That girl is a bitch.
27:23 That girl is as high as hell.
27:27 - Is Anna?
27:30 - I don't know.
27:31 (bell dinging)
27:33 - Oh, Anna.
27:34 (laughing)
27:36 - What, Anna?
27:39 - What, don't you want it?
27:40 - It's Bobby, Anna.
27:41 - There's nothing going on with me and Bobby.
27:45 Don't you fancy me?
27:46 - I've got eyes, don't I?
27:49 'Cause when you know, I fancy you.
28:01 (screaming)
28:03 (glass shattering)
28:12 - What's he taken?
28:14 - I don't know.
