00:00Don't make me hang him.
00:20We should film this, you know.
00:21Stop.
00:22No, I'm being serious. It's like a proper feel-good old people story, innit? You know
00:25it could go viral, you know.
00:26Wait.
00:27It's okay.
00:28I am.
00:29I just need some air, you know.
00:30Don't bother.
00:31I'll go.
00:32No, Eve. Eve, listen. Eve!
00:33Wow.
00:34All this drama's giving me the creeps.
00:35I know.
00:36I know.
00:37I know.
00:38I know.
00:39I know.
00:40I know.
00:41I know.
00:42I know.
00:43I know.
00:44I know.
00:45I know.
00:46I know.
00:47I know.
00:48I know.
00:49I know.
00:50I know.
00:51I know.
00:52I know.
00:53I know.
00:54All this drama has given me an appetite.
00:56What do you think?
00:59What for, the East?
01:02You're welcome to join us.
01:06I'm guessing you don't have plans with Eve.
01:26Did I tell you that Annie's booked in for the hospital on the 19th, Ratith?
01:31Johnny.
01:34Well, it's good, isn't it? I mean, well, not good.
01:36Mum, can you stop? We need to talk about this.
01:41Sit down.
01:51I know you don't get it.
01:52Of course I don't.
01:54What Annie's going through,
01:56right, is my fault.
01:58If Dean admits to the police what he did, then it's a new start.
02:02You know, I can be the mum she deserves. I can move on.
02:06Mum, he is playing you.
02:07He is promising you something he will never admit.
02:10Murder, and he is away for life.
02:12He is gone.
02:13But if I get on that stand and crumble, then he gets away with everything.
02:17All right, this deal is a sure thing. Why are you so sure he'll stick to his word now?
02:21You could do all of this, and he could do whatever he wants. I'm not stupid.
02:26I'll get it agreed. A signed statement before I go to the police.
02:29What, and then jobs are given, is it?
02:32You're an alcoholic, Mum.
02:35There's no quick solution.
02:37OK, yeah, Dean started this, but since Keanu,
02:39it's been next level. Yeah, which is why I'm taking action.
02:42All right, positive action.
02:46What about the next thing that comes up?
02:48And the next, and then he's back.
02:50All right, you put Dean away for life, and you can rebuild.
02:54Get back everything you've lost. I'm going to.
02:57And this is the first step.
02:59Mum's left you in charge. Yeah.
03:02Has Peter said anything?
03:03Well, I guess Cindy's made a decision, so he has to respect that.
03:07Did you make that badge yourself? Yeah, I did.
03:11I wonder where Mum had to go in such a hurry.
03:13Yeah, yeah, she didn't say. She just put me in charge.
03:17It will be OK, won't it?
03:20I reckon she played you.
03:22Yeah. Are you going to help?
03:25I've been on my feet all day. You've been shopping?
03:28You're the manager. You can do this.
03:32Oh, uh, sorry. Hi, hi.
03:35Hello, ladies. Uh, sorry, table for one, two, three, four.
03:41Right.
03:42Do you remember when you were little and we used to have those sleepover nights?
03:46Yeah. All of us in the same bed, watching films, all snuggled up together.
03:51I thought I could do the same thing with Annie and Ollie.
03:54You too, if there's room.
03:59You all right? Yeah, yeah.
04:03I'm just thinking, you can't just retract a witness statement and expect them to be fine with it.
04:10I know it ain't going to be easy.
04:12What about the others? This whole murder case opens up again.
04:15What if Sharon goes down for it? No, no.
04:18Jack said they could still prosecute Dean on the evidence they've got.
04:21It's not going to come back on Sharon.
04:22Jack said that? Yeah, and I'll make sure of it.
04:26We'll just stick to our original story.
04:28Oh, Mum, you haven't thought this through at all.
04:31I will protect them. How? And why are you even willing to risk it?
04:37I have to.
04:43Oi! What was that about?
04:45Katie, I... Look, I'm a surprise.
04:48So you thought you'd mug her off in front of a pub full of people?
04:51Right, I just need to talk to her. Good luck with that.
04:53You made her look like an idiot. That was the last thing I wanted to do and you know it.
04:56Right, I just need to explain and find out what she was thinking.
04:59She was thinking about you two. Because she loves her, you know that.
05:02Yeah, and I love her.
05:04But a proposal? Marriage?
05:07Stacey, you've only been out five minutes.
05:09Do you know, I thought even though we were on the same page, this has come out of nowhere.
05:13Well, it ain't come out of nowhere, though, is it?
05:15What are you talking about?
05:17Are you stupid?
05:19Who do you think's been winding her up?
05:23So what shall we toast to? True love?
05:29Ah, that relationship was doomed from the start.
05:32You start anything in such a grubby way, it's bound to fail.
05:37They do love each other.
05:39How long do you reckon she was down on one knee for?
05:42Not proper long.
05:44Ah, it was ridiculous.
05:46Wasn't it, Vinnie?
05:48Yeah, I mean, they didn't need to rub it in your face.
05:52Yeah, I mean, proposing in public is so darn out anyway.
05:55No wonder she mugged her off.
05:57Oi, show some respect.
05:59Just saying it how it is.
06:01And you, get off your phone.
06:03I'm not disrespecting no one. I'm just keeping my mind off the dialysis.
06:06Well, read a book.
06:08Read a book?
06:10Is this really how you want to spend your time?
06:12Leave him alone.
06:14Yeah, no good can come of it.
06:18Never a truer word was said.
06:21Mum's going to pull a witness statement.
06:23She can't.
06:25What's she playing at?
06:27Why don't you tell him, Jack?
06:29What's it got to do with you?
06:31I spoke to her.
06:33And you told her Dean would get convicted without her testimony.
06:36Jack!
06:38What were you thinking?
06:40I was trying to calm her down, all right?
06:42She was terrified and I was worried about her.
06:44Without her statement, Dean gets off and I'm back in the frame.
06:47Yeah, well, we all are.
06:50Well, I mean you, but the rest of us,
06:52accessory to murder, moving a body,
06:54lying about it for the past eight months.
06:56God knows what Phil's going to say.
06:58Don't tell Phil.
07:00Why not?
07:02Because he'll go in there all guns blazing.
07:04It's the last thing we need.
07:06Can we not talk about her like she's some loose cannon?
07:08She's your mate, remember?
07:10Just everyone needs to calm down.
07:12Don't think you're the best at telling people what to do, mate.
07:14I'll talk to Linda.
07:16If she knows what's at stake, she wouldn't do it.
07:19Well, like Jack did.
07:21I won't tell Phil unless I have to.
07:23But I'm doing this my way.
07:25Me and Linda have got each other's backs.
07:27She'll listen to me.
07:31Fish and chips,
07:33couple of gherkins, loads of salt, loads of vinegar.
07:35Enjoy.
07:39Oh, come on, Nan, cheer up, will you?
07:41Crack a smile.
07:43I told you, I'm not in the mood.
07:45What is it, Stevie?
07:48I knew him for five minutes.
07:50But?
07:52But nothing. He was a mate.
07:54Yeah, well, I'm your mate.
07:56Oh, he was a mate my age.
07:58Forget that.
08:00Tell you what you need, Nan.
08:02A hobby. Right, shut your eyes.
08:04Picture this, yeah?
08:06Great tits.
08:08Fluffy back boobies.
08:10I ain't a lesbian.
08:12In fact, Elvis had a pair of knockers on him,
08:14but that's not why I liked him.
08:17I mean, in the right lighting,
08:19you might get away with it.
08:21Listen, all right? Birdwatching.
08:23It's good for you. Me and Mum did it.
08:25It's calming and peaceful.
08:27It connects you with nature. You could do with that.
08:29The only connection I've got with nature
08:31is the rats on the tube.
08:33Exactly what I mean.
08:35Oi, watch it.
08:37What's her problem?
08:39Honestly, it's nothing I can't fix.
08:41I'm going to get her a mate back.
08:43Oh. I didn't know she had any.
08:45Listen, she's got a heart of gold.
08:47You've just got to dig for it a little bit.
08:49Well, as long as you ain't tapping me up to be her mate.
08:51Stevie Mitchell, actually.
08:53Her and him, they're like Bonnie and Clyde.
08:55What, murderers?
08:57Besties. Anyway, I'm going to reunite her.
09:01We need to get some more liquor on her.
09:03I don't think you charged the last people the right amount.
09:05Yeah, OK, OK, I'll get to it.
09:07It's just these pointless parties, they take so much prep.
09:09I don't know why Dad thought it would be a good idea.
09:11Healthy, ain't they?
09:13Sorry. I'm calling my mum.
09:15No, please don't.
09:17This is disgusting, I'm not waiting for that.
09:27She's not answering.
09:29I can handle it, it's fine.
09:31If you don't stop saying it's fine, I'm going to shove that pie.
09:33Waitress!
09:35Hi.
09:41Oh, hi.
09:43What can I get you?
09:51Bobby, that table are saying they're going to leave
09:53because they've waited too long for their food.
09:55Just tell them it'll be five minutes.
09:57And that guy said the mash has more lumps
09:59than a camel with mumps.
10:01Fine, mash is off the menu then.
10:03Do you want a pie in my shop?
10:05Yeah, yeah, you're right, sorry.
10:07I just don't know what to do, Anna.
10:09But look,
10:11I've only got 15 minutes until close,
10:13let's just hang on until then.
10:15No.
10:17No?
10:19This...
10:21is your moment.
10:23We're not going home until everyone here
10:25has the best meal of their life.
10:27Really?
10:29Come on, Bobby, get back in that kitchen.
10:31OK, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:33I'm really sorry about the wait, everyone.
10:35It won't be long, I promise, I promise.
10:37Excuse me, everyone.
10:39I know there have been a couple
10:41of issues this afternoon,
10:43but if you bear with us,
10:45we will give you fresh food on the house
10:47and we're staying open until everyone is fed.
10:57What's that?
10:59Stick to the tea, thanks.
11:01Sure.
11:03I knew Nisha would be involved in this somehow.
11:05Yeah, it's just been getting in her ear.
11:07You're dripping poison.
11:09Niggling at her and making comments
11:11about how close you and Ayesha are.
11:13Me and Ayesha? Oh, come on.
11:15Eve should know better,
11:17she knows what Nisha's like.
11:19What?
11:21Well, I mean, he has got a point.
11:23You two are pretty close,
11:25you've got shared history,
11:27no wonder Eve feels pushed out.
11:29We went through a lot together,
11:31and seeing her has brought a lot of things back
11:33and not all good.
11:35Me and Eve, we're solid.
11:37She knows that. Does she?
11:39She just proposed out of the blue.
11:41And maybe she wanted you to say yes.
11:51Going to sit down?
11:53No, I can't stay long.
11:55You're withdrawing your statement.
11:57Sharon, let me explain.
11:59Please don't do this.
12:01If you pull your statement,
12:03it'll all come back on me.
12:05No, no, this will protect you.
12:07I'm the weak link.
12:09You know, if I get on that stand and fall apart,
12:11then we've lost everything.
12:13I mean, this way, Dean still goes down.
12:15You really think it's going to be that easy?
12:17This isn't just about you, Linda.
12:19No.
12:21No, it's about Annie and Ollie.
12:23You're a good mum.
12:25You've always put them first.
12:27We both know that ain't true.
12:31Annie's got to have four teeth out.
12:33Under general.
12:35And the dentist made it clear.
12:37Now it's down to me.
12:39My drinking.
12:41Well, I've prioritised it over the kids, haven't I?
12:45Dean going on record.
12:47It's closure.
12:49And then I can focus on the kids,
12:51you know, be the mum that I was to the others.
12:53What are they offering you?
12:57Dean will admit to rape.
12:59Finally.
13:01And I'll be free of him.
13:03Did you withdraw your statement?
13:07If I truly thought this was the best thing for you,
13:09I would face any consequences, honestly.
13:13But you're ill, Linda.
13:15And Dean admitting
13:17to what he did to you,
13:19I can't fix that.
13:21Only you can do that.
13:23And I know it's hard, I know.
13:25I saw it with my mum.
13:27But we can help you.
13:33This ain't going to end well.
13:35You're making a deal with the devil, please.
13:37Please think about it.
13:43I'm doing what's right.
13:46And you're giving me no option.
14:00Well, you certainly know how to liven up an afternoon.
14:03Pete's working.
14:05Aren't they going to wonder where you are?
14:07No. Bobby won't even have time to think about it.
14:09He'll be rushed off his feet.
14:12What, if him and Anna start asking questions?
14:15I mean, it's all a bit close to home, isn't it?
14:17Well, yeah. Literally.
14:19Look, we, um,
14:21need to come up with a better arrangement.
14:24You can't just keep sneaking around like this.
14:26Yeah, but it's exciting, isn't it?
14:28And it's worth the risk, yeah?
14:32And so long as Ian's away, we're safe here.
14:36So what you're saying is
14:38we should make the most of this?
14:41I've got about ten minutes until I need to call Xavier.
14:43Oh! Race you then.
14:45Oh.
14:50Johnny?
15:07Excuse me.
15:09I want a word.
15:10I'm sorry, Phil, but you can't change my mind.
15:12Get off your high horse, Linda.
15:14Yeah.
15:15I know you.
15:17I am you.
15:18Oh, please.
15:19You want a magic bullet?
15:20It's going to stop your drinking, eh?
15:22Well, guess what?
15:23There ain't one.
15:25Don't you think your drinking's better than that?
15:27Wait till Dean Wicks gets out of prison,
15:29and your best mate gets banged up
15:31for a crime she didn't commit.
15:33A crime that you committed.
15:35And you think, oh, just let that go, eh?
15:38Let Sharon go down so she can lose another child.
15:41No.
15:43No.
15:44No, you don't want to muck about with me, Linda.
15:49If you do hear anything, it doesn't matter what time.
15:51Yes, I promise I'll let you know.
15:53I just need to speak to her.
15:54Just hear her voice.
15:56Give her time.
15:57I mean, it's not every day you get pied off in public, is it?
16:00Like a kilnish.
16:01Yeah.
16:02Well, we tried that.
16:04It's okay.
16:05You just want to get her right out of here.
16:06Just don't give him the satisfaction.
16:09Oh, God.
16:10Ladies.
16:13It's been quite a day for you.
16:15Come on, just leave him.
16:16No, no, no, no, just send him my condolences.
16:18I don't need anything from you.
16:20Losing one lesbian lover is unfortunate.
16:23But losing two in the same day?
16:26Oh, I'm just careless.
16:28Hey, come on.
16:30If Eve doesn't come back, I will kill you.
16:32Do you understand me?
16:33I will kill you, and I will enjoy every second of it.
16:37Why would I care?
16:38I'm already dying.
16:39Not fast enough.
16:51None of you understand.
16:53I do.
16:54Being on the stand would be too hard for you.
16:56So you're just going to dump everyone else in it?
16:58That is not what I'm doing.
16:59And this ain't about Annie or Ollie.
17:01This is all about you, because that's all you do, is think about yourself.
17:04Now, if Sharon goes down for this,
17:07you are no Aussie, Jo.
17:09She won't go down.
17:10And I will take care of the others.
17:12How?
17:14I'll work it out.
17:15Well, that'd be a first, wouldn't it?
17:16Because you, you're a liability.
17:18And if anyone deserves to get banged up for this, it's you.
17:21And it'd be the best thing for your kids and all.
17:24You can get out of here and tell Sharon that I won't be threatened by anyone.
17:29Least of all you.
17:38Are you sure you're OK? You might need to get checked out, Dad.
17:41I'm fine. I'll get you some water, OK?
17:45Now, Vinnie, Avani, you go home.
17:48Or I'll wear the nugget.
17:50Well, I mean, if that word is inheritance, I think I should stay.
17:54Avani, nice try.
17:56Come on, go home.
17:57I'm not going.
17:58I'm not going.
17:59I'm not going.
18:00I'm not going.
18:01I'm not going.
18:02I'm not going.
18:03I'm not going.
18:04I'm not going.
18:05Nice try.
18:06Come on, go.
18:08I'll be fine.
18:09Sure?
18:11See you later.
18:19You know how you say you don't care what Dudley's doing?
18:24I don't.
18:25Then why don't you leave her alone?
18:30Because you do care, isn't it?
18:32Of course you do. Everyone can see it.
18:36I'm sorry.
18:41I'm dying.
18:44It puts things into perspective.
18:48You focus on what's important.
18:52There's only one person I want by my side when I'm dying.
18:57Masuki.
19:01But you know she's with Eve.
19:04She hates you.
19:06Love and hate aren't that far apart.
19:09Your bond like mine and Masuki's, that doesn't just go.
19:14The first few years of our marriage were magical.
19:17They were the happiest of my life.
19:19You know, it was us against the world.
19:23And if I could have that again, just for one moment,
19:28I'd die a happy man.
19:29She don't want that.
19:31Dada, she's... she's gay.
19:35She's the one.
19:40I'm sorry, but I don't...
19:43Dada, I don't see it happening.
19:48Your God is good.
19:51I just pray that he grants my last dying wish.
19:54I just pray that he grants my last dying wish.
20:05Fraser?
20:07Yeah, it's Linda Carter.
20:09Can you meet me now?
20:12What, Peggy's? Okay, yeah, I'll be there.
20:18Johnny!
20:19You going out?
20:20Yeah, I thought I'd go to a meeting.
20:23Oh, well, I'll walk you there.
20:24No, no, I need some time on my own.
20:29I've put Annie and Ollie to bed, you know, brushed their teeth.
20:32Go ahead.
20:35Okay, so I'll...
20:36Yeah, see you later.
20:37Okay.
20:46There you go, shrimping.
20:47Cheers, Fred.
20:48Enjoy.
20:49Teddy!
20:51You all right?
20:52Yes, yes, great, thanks.
20:53Listen, um, how's your dad?
20:56My dad?
20:57Yeah, Stevie.
20:58Look, he's a ledge round here.
20:59We all really, really miss him.
21:01You don't know if he's got plans to come back, do you?
21:03I didn't know you and him were that close.
21:05Well, well, he's more my nan, Mo.
21:08Look, you don't suppose that I could call him, do you?
21:11You know, just to be neighbourly, polite.
21:13Like a neighbourhood watch?
21:15No, nothing like that.
21:16Cos he ain't your neighbour, mate.
21:17What?
21:18Look, er, what's your name?
21:19Freddie.
21:20Freddie.
21:21Freddie.
21:22Me and me dad, we're not on the greatest of terms right now,
21:24so I probably won't be passing on your best, if you don't mind.
21:27Right.
21:29Um...
21:31He does know who I am.
21:32You know, I just thought that maybe...
21:34A word of advice, son.
21:36Think less.
21:39And I'll have...
21:40Cod and chips.
21:44Right.
21:45Sure.
21:48Right.
21:54Right.
21:55Anyway, we'll have decent as either a fortune
21:57or a two bed at the end of the Met line.
22:00I can't believe Grey's doing this.
22:03But maybe Bernie will come up with something.
22:06Yeah, fingers crossed.
22:08Yeah.
22:10I've got to hand it to you.
22:11You've played a blinder.
22:13I'm doing what's right.
22:15So, when are you going to the police?
22:18You are joking.
22:19I get the signed statement first.
22:21Someone's been watching too much Taggart.
22:24Dean signs a witness statement.
22:27He confesses to what he did to me.
22:29Once that is with the police,
22:31then I will withdraw my statement.
22:33And we want your guarantee.
22:36This is the end of it.
22:37No more accusations, no more lies.
22:39The end.
22:41The end?
22:42And you'll sign a statement saying that.
22:44Oh.
22:45Yeah, whatever you want.
22:47Oh, thanks for asking.
22:49I'll have a whisky.
22:50Neat.
23:01Yeah, it's me.
23:03All done.
23:05Please.
23:06She's eating out the palm of my hand.
23:10I'll see you later, Hemp.
23:15Cheers.
23:17What do you need me to sign?
23:21Fraser McLaughlin?
23:22Yes.
23:23Jack.
23:24I'm arresting you for blackmail and perverting the course of justice.
23:26Hold on a minute.
23:27No, no, you've got this wrong.
23:28You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
23:30if you do not mention when questioned something with your later alarming call.
23:34Anything else you do say may be given in evidence.
23:37You're barking up the wrong tree here, mate.
23:39No need for handcuffs.
23:41I haven't done anything wrong.
23:43It's for the best.
23:45It's not like Phil to get someone else to do his dirty work.
23:47He must be getting soft in his old age.
23:51Thanks, Hemp.
23:52You're welcome.
23:56I couldn't let you do it, Mum.
24:01Thank you so much.
24:02Thanks for your patience.
24:04Thanks.
24:16Woo-hoo!
24:18Thank you so much.
24:20I don't know how I'm going to repay you, Anna.
24:23We both did it.
24:25We make a great team, don't we?
24:28Do you want to wash or dry?
24:29I want to lock the door and run away.
24:32Bobby!
24:34What the hell is going on?
24:36I knew what I was doing.
24:37You were throwing away everything.
24:38I was ending this.
24:39Mum, it's OK.
24:40None of this is OK.
24:41I've got this.
24:42No, I don't want you to have this, John.
24:45I want to be your mum.
24:47I want to be the mum that I was.
24:48I want Annie and Ollie to know what that's like.
24:50I don't want to live like this.
24:53Let me fix me.
25:01The only reason I came back is because you didn't drop the keys off.
25:04I didn't expect to see the last days of Rome.
25:06Well, we did try and call you loads of times.
25:08Yeah.
25:09I was busy.
25:10What was so important that you had to leave the shop and put Bobby in charge?
25:14I thought I was getting a promotion.
25:16It just doesn't matter now.
25:17Let's just sort this place out, shall we?
25:19Oh, we're clocking off.
25:20You can sort this out.
25:21Come on.
25:22You can't just go.
25:23Yeah, Anna, I am the manager.
25:25No, come on.
25:26Anna!
25:39I'm sorry.
25:55Just when you think this nightmare is coming to an end.
26:04This little Annie I'm worried about.
26:06It's not that Ollie has had it easy, but at least he had those years with Mick.
26:12Annie's known as chaos.
26:16And neglect.
26:19I can make this right.
26:21You better had.
26:23For all our sakes.
26:36Ugh.
27:07Ugh.
27:10Ugh.
