00:26Andy, Daddy's here.
00:27Is he gonna be OK, darling?
00:29I told him everything, Laini, the law.
00:58They've gone.
01:02They ain't coming back.
01:05Well, don't forget, we're still here.
01:17Lauren's in quite a bit of pain. She's got punctured lungs, broken ribs, but she's gonna be okay.
01:22There's two others in critical condition, though.
01:24How did this happen? How did she even get in there?
01:27You saw how many people there was. You couldn't even see a hand in front of your face.
01:30Okay, let's just leave the hows and whys for now, shall we? And focus, Laini and Lauren, all right?
01:35This is all my fault.
01:38Me and Ames, we had this silly row, man. She went in there to spite me.
01:42I'm not saying she's in here because of you.
01:43Jack, don't!
01:44I'm sorry.
01:45Sorry? Sorry ain't gonna get my baby out of that hospital bed, is it?
01:49Sorry ain't good enough!
01:50It's my fault.
01:51I pulled the fire alarm. I thought it was the right thing.
01:55They panicked. I didn't know what else to do, Dad.
02:06Give some of these bands out, will you, Mark? Sugar's good for shock.
02:09Yeah, no problem. Look, I'll stick around, yeah?
02:11Oh, lovely, thanks.
02:13Sub the sugar. I could do with some vodka. I'm shaking myself.
02:16Can I get some fresh air? Is that all right?
02:18Yeah, of course you can. Go on.
02:19Well, what a day. You're here late, Kav.
02:23Hang on, have I missed a chapter?
02:25There's been a crush over at Peggy's. It's bad and all.
02:28Oh, well, could have been worse. Could have been me.
02:30Those are for the victims.
02:32Well, I've been out a lot job searching all day,
02:34so I am technically a victim of the economic climate.
02:37Well, we could do with an extra pair of hands if you fancy some volunteer work.
02:41No can do, sorry. I'm muggered with blood.
02:43Especially other people's. All their pain.
02:45Weak stomach and a bad bedside manner.
02:47That's why I never fancied nursing. Or doctors, if I'm honest.
02:52Oh.
02:54Anyone lost a phone? I'm taking return fee offers.
02:57That's mine.
02:58All right, calm down.
03:00I was going to nick that brick.
03:02Since when have you had two phones?
03:04Oh, two-phone tailor, is it?
03:06What, are you a secret shotter now?
03:08No. It's just a...
03:10I don't know.
03:12No.
03:13It's just a...
03:15I have a pay-as-you-go. You know, cheaper.
03:17To ring my mum.
03:19I make them tea, so...
03:21Pay-as-you-go? What is it, 2006?
03:29Oh, look, why don't you go and bother someone else, all right?
03:31We're busy here.
03:34Well, it's like one of those stories you hear about, you know,
03:37where a mum lifts a car off of her baby to save them.
03:40Yeah, I just knew I had to get you all out of it.
03:43Well, you did well, Ian, but you didn't exactly carry us on your back, did you?
03:48Yeah, but I'd shielded you all.
03:50Look, I am going to have to go and see a doctor.
03:52I mean, he is crushed tender.
03:54I still can't believe it.
03:57It just kept getting busier and busier.
04:00It's Peter.
04:02Uh...
04:04Apparently, Amy's in a bad way.
04:08But Laura's going to be OK.
04:10So that's something.
04:12Seems like she doesn't remember much.
04:14Oh, well, that's good news.
04:16Well, look, I'm just glad we're all OK.
04:23They're all fine.
04:27They're all fine.
04:29Look, you can get your brother's number from Angela if you want.
04:33But I think we should all look forward, not back.
04:40Yeah.
04:42I've got enough family here to worry about, right?
04:49Right.
04:51OK.
04:56All right.
05:04Any more news on Lauren?
05:06Yeah, Peter's in with her now.
05:08She's in pain, but she's OK.
05:12You can't even look at me, can you?
05:14Don't you think I feel bad enough?
05:16You go and get yourself a drink or something.
05:18I'm sorry, all right?
05:20I don't know why there were so many people.
05:22I panicked. What else could I do?
05:24You could have not pulled the alarm and made things worse.
05:26I'm sorry, Dad.
05:28I don't know what else I can say, but sorry.
05:31I sold the right amount of tickets.
05:33I don't know how it happened.
05:36And as much as you might hate me right now,
05:38I hate myself more.
05:44Look, this is on me too, all right? I know, Dad.
05:48Maybe this is life's way of getting back at me
05:50for all the things I've done, eh?
05:53Cos she always is happy to hear, don't you?
05:57And now I'm thinking, is this the time
05:59that she don't come home with me?
06:01Mr Branning, I have news on your daughter.
06:14Ollie, what are you doing?
06:16I fixed it.
06:18Put it down.
06:20He should be in bed.
06:23You can't break things that aren't yours.
06:25Dad, what's going on?
06:27This is what's going on.
06:29What's happening?
06:31He's ruining Mum's tape. He should be in bed.
06:36Ollie, come on, it's OK.
06:39Look, I know you didn't mean it and I know you are struggling,
06:43but do not take it out on the family that are here for you.
06:51Amy suffered a cardiac arrest due to lack of oxygen,
06:55as well as a fractured pelvis.
06:58She's stable, but we're having to keep her asleep
07:00so that she can have a chance to recover.
07:04Can we see her?
07:06She clearly has a strong, loving family.
07:09She's going to need you all for her recovery.
07:12Hey.
07:14You heard her.
07:16We're all in this together, yeah?
07:18We're all in this together, yeah? As a family.
07:27Are you all right?
07:30I can't do this.
07:42How are you doing?
07:44Don't know what I'm doing at the minute.
07:48Take it the family union didn't go too well.
07:53I drove him away.
07:55Then I upset Ollie, Elaine, Gina.
08:00Yes, I... There's me looking for more family, you know.
08:05I'm just going to let them down.
08:07Upset them.
08:10Probably got a lucky escape.
08:14And the ones you love.
08:17It's what I do best.
08:21I suppose we have more in common than we think.
08:26Look, you'll make it up with Ollie and Elaine and Gina.
08:34I suppose you ain't doing too bad at making up with me.
08:40Think you can do the same with your brothers?
08:43You went to find your mum, but you were too late.
08:47But your brothers turned up at your doorstep.
08:51Don't let them leave the country with regret, Dad.
08:54Yours.
08:56Or theirs.
08:58Or theirs.
09:11Well, it looks like it's calming down a bit.
09:13Go on, why don't you get off? I'll stick around, close up.
09:16No, no, don't be silly. Go on.
09:24How you doing?
09:26Yeah, I'm all right. Just hope Amy and Lauren are all right as well.
09:30Yeah, me too.
09:33Are you feeling about the trial next week?
09:37I don't know.
09:40I just want whoever did this to pay.
09:44That's all I want.
09:46Yeah. Dean, right.
09:49You hope he goes down.
09:51I just want justice.
09:53Come on, brother. For all of us.
09:56We all do.
09:58He got away with what he did to Linda, but he won't get away with this.
10:06What if it wasn't him, Gav?
10:09What?
10:10What if...
10:12What if someone else killed Keanu?
10:16I mean, it's square, it's full of liars.
10:20A lot of people that didn't like him, what if it was somebody else?
10:28How long have you known Sharon?
10:30No, donkey she is.
10:32Right, but you haven't always got on, yeah?
10:35I mean, she did try and kill Ian.
10:37No. No, she didn't.
10:41OK.
10:43OK, well, maybe you don't believe it, but people do.
10:50Sharon was with Phil.
10:52Yeah, she's been around.
10:54Bad things, bad people.
10:56Maybe she tried to kill Ian because of Denny Dine,
10:59and maybe she killed Keanu because of the kidnapping.
11:02Come on, Cathy.
11:04You can't tell me that a part of you don't think it's true.
11:06Listen, Max started that rumour.
11:08He's a liar.
11:10And so is Dean.
11:13Look, Sharon is a lot of things, but she wouldn't do that.
11:16Not to Ian, not to anybody.
11:20I know it's hard, Bernie, and you're emotional,
11:24but you've got to start thinking straight.
11:28All right?
11:32Come.
11:44Well...
11:47Jack's calmed down a bit now that he's seen her.
11:54Look, darling, he's scared and he's angry,
12:00but deep down he knows it's not yours and Penny's fault, OK?
12:07Penny's getting all the abuse.
12:11But...
12:14..it was my fault.
12:18Not only Chelsea.
12:20I was just putting a lot of pressure on her, you know,
12:24for taking the manager's job, and then we had words,
12:28and I just left her in the middle of it.
12:31I left them all.
12:33Hi. How's Jack doing? Thought I'd check in.
12:37As expected, I suppose.
12:40Chelsea is a bit shaken up.
12:42She was working the bar.
12:44It's just like she left before it happened.
12:56COBRA now.
12:58It's...
13:00It's Kwame.
13:03I've got your number off of Angela, and I just...
13:07I'm sorry.
13:11I've lost a lot, and...
13:14..I just don't want to lose my brothers, so...
13:20..call me back.
13:23And we can sort all this, yeah?
13:26And we can sort all this, yeah?
13:57You OK?
13:59Yeah.
14:01Look, if you want to talk to somebody, I can call someone.
14:07Is there anything you want to tell me, Chelsea?
14:12Erm...
14:15Well, I just...
14:17I saw it getting...
14:19..packed in there.
14:21But Penny and I, we were in a bit of competition.
14:26And it was her big night, so...
14:29Well, we had a row, and I...
14:32I just left her to it.
14:34And now, look...
14:37Penny, Penny Branning, she's the manager of the club, right?
14:41Yeah.
14:43Don't worry. I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of what happened.
14:48We may need to talk to you again.
14:50Formally.
14:52OK?
14:58Is he not on your road?
15:00Hey, just tell her she's an electric car, she ain't gonna hear it anyway.
15:03He'll be there in five.
15:04Sorry, love.
15:05Yeah, what is going on in here?
15:06Hey, here she is!
15:07Hey, look, it's old Hopalong Cassidy.
15:09See what I did there? OK, welcome home, sweetheart.
15:11You all right? There's been an accident over the club.
15:13Yeah, I can see that.
15:14The walking wound and the sirens were dead giveaway.
15:16You ain't been in it, have you?
15:18Of course she has.
15:19No, she was on the beach with her sister.
15:20She went over like Bambi on ice.
15:22Vodka and tonics and long walks don't mix.
15:24Right, Nan's got the twins.
15:25Who put the Chuckle Brothers on the phones in here?
15:27Yeah, shall I, um...
15:29You go and do your job. There's a queue outside.
15:31And you're as useful as a condom machine in the Vatican in here.
15:33Ooh!
15:35That's you told, isn't it, eh?
15:37You weren't caught up in it, was you?
15:39Well, to be honest with you, Kat, I was one of the lucky ones.
15:42But, you know, I could probably do with a bit of nursing.
15:44But we're gonna put the sponge bath on hold till you feel better, all right?
15:47Cos we do not want the Mrs Moon muscle memory kicking in.
15:50You know what I'm talking about?
15:51I need you like a hole in the head.
15:53Go on, holiday's over.
15:54Yeah, I'll see you there.
15:55Oh, listen, seriously, I'll come back.
15:57And I know Tommy's gonna be glad to see her.
16:00Hey, Kat, is your sister still married to that sniper's dream?
16:03You know, Mo said he's got a massive head.
16:08How we doing, guys?
16:10Oh, God, it's awful out there.
16:12All we can do is pray, you know?
16:14If you're after a cab, you've got a long wait.
16:17Well, actually, I'm looking for work.
16:19And I'm presuming with this post-crush rush,
16:21you're looking for an extra hand, so how about trial?
16:24So you're after a job and you've thought a tragedy in the square
16:27is a time for you to audition.
16:29Jog on, will you?
16:30Kat, we might need some crowd control out there while I drop off.
16:32It's getting a bit tetchy.
16:33Kat, you know what they say, sweetheart?
16:35Many hands and feet make light work.
16:38So I'll leave it with you. I'll see you at home. Bye.
16:40Yeah.
16:41All right, you go out there and tell him to sit tight
16:43and then come back in here and I'll show you the ropes.
16:47If you're lucky.
16:53Look, I am going to have to lock up soon.
16:55Bernie's already clocked off and I am trying my best.
17:00Oh, sorry, mate.
17:01Here you are.
17:02Is this yours?
17:03That's my taxi.
17:05Yeah, sorry, here you go.
17:07That's my taxi. You can't touch my taxi.
17:10No, no, look, I wasn't looking at it or nothing.
17:13No, it's broken. You've broken my taxi.
17:16No, no, no, it's fine. Look.
17:19No, it's broken. It's scratched.
17:21You can't touch my taxi.
17:23That's my taxi, my lovely taxi.
17:25Look, is there anyone I can call for you or...?
17:28He touched my taxi.
17:30Now it's broken. It's scratched.
17:32No, it's not, mate. Look, here, have a look at that.
17:35Whoa, all right, fine. Calm down, calm down.
17:37He touched my taxi.
17:39I need to tell Kwame.
17:41It's broken.
17:42I need to tell him.
17:44Kwame!
17:45Queen Victoria Park!
17:47E20!
17:48Walford!
17:56Look, it's getting late.
17:58Well, it's early now.
18:01Why don't you get yourself home and get some sleep?
18:05I can't help it.
18:08I appreciate you being here.
18:10And what with the divorce and all that.
18:13But you don't have to stay.
18:15I'm not going anywhere, either.
18:43PHONE RINGS
18:49Marnie?
18:51What's happening?
18:52Yeah, be ten minutes, love.
18:54Oh, then get the bus!
18:57You all right?
18:58So, tell me, have you ever got a tip without putting your foot on the pedal?
19:02And what did you do for that? Or who, more worryingly?
19:05I'm a people person. I use my people skills.
19:08Got a number off a fitty, too.
19:10Even the bloody head bandage didn't put me off.
19:13There is opportunity in every crisis.
19:16It's calming down a bit out there. How are we doing?
19:19She's only been on the firm for two minutes
19:21and she's already turned us into a knocking shop.
19:23Other than that, yeah, great.
19:25I'm glad your boy got out, by the way.
19:27It must have been scary cos Amy and Lauren are in a bad way.
19:30Lucky boy getting out there unscathed.
19:33Didn't you know?
19:36Mate, look, I didn't do anything to him.
19:39He seems really upset.
19:41He kept calling for Kwame and then gave the pub's address.
19:44I'm Kwame. He's my little brother.
19:49It's my taxi.
19:51He touched my taxi.
19:53It's broken.
19:58It's OK, Kojo. I'm here now.
20:03It's my London taxi.
20:05The sides.
20:07They're scratch.
20:10It looks fine, sir.
20:14Everything's broken. We can fix it.
20:16Do you want it?
20:28Can you give us a minute? Yeah, yeah.
20:32It's my taxi.
20:34He shouldn't touch my taxi.
20:45Bernie? You sure?
20:4799%.
20:49She was asking stuff about you and Ian.
20:52She's emotional, wasn't she? She's bubbling over.
20:55I feel like I'm in a nightmare.
20:57I thought it might be Karen or Shirley, but Bernie.
21:01Well, she can't know anything, can she?
21:03No, I don't think so.
21:05It's her brother, Sharon.
21:07We can't underestimate her.
21:09Linda needs to know.
21:11And we need concrete evidence.
21:18Kojo, it's OK. It's just the police doing their job.
21:22Everything's OK.
21:25Did you get lost on the way back to the hotel?
21:28Is that it?
21:33Do you want to go somewhere quieter?
21:37Kojo, I'm trying to ring you.
21:39I'm sure he's going to pick up soon.
21:41He won't. He's angry.
21:44Yeah, I know.
21:46But he's angry at me, not at you.
21:49He's every right to be.
21:51I'm sorry.
21:54Us meeting like this, you know...
21:58I don't really know how to explain it.
22:00You saw Dad die.
22:02You couldn't do anything.
22:05Sometimes I can't do anything, too.
22:08It's hard.
22:13You know...
22:16If I could change anything,
22:19if I could change what happened,
22:22I would.
22:30So you like black Texas, then?
22:33I like cars.
22:35This is new, for London.
22:39I like cars.
22:41I like cars.
22:43This is new, for London.
22:50You know, when I stopped boxing
22:53and I hung up my gloves,
22:55I thought, you know, I'd have a go at the knowledge,
22:58become a black taxi driver.
23:00But, er...
23:02It was too hard.
23:04I tried. I really tried.
23:07Maybe if I'd been a better boxer,
23:10I wouldn't have got hit in the head so much.
23:13Maybe I could have done it.
23:16They had high roofs, black cabs, taxi cabs,
23:19hackneyed carriages,
23:21because they'd accommodate bowler hats,
23:23top hats, for drivers and passengers, originally.
23:28Nobody wears them now, but they did.
23:31But they still had high roofs.
23:33Is that right?
23:35And there was a turning circle of 25 feet.
23:38Most cars had 35 feet.
23:41Oh, I didn't know that.
23:43And the knowledge, you have to learn 25,000 roads,
23:4720,000 landmarks,
23:50all within the six-mile radius of Charing Cross.
23:54So don't feel bad about failing.
23:56That sounds hard.
23:58Yeah. Well, I don't know.
24:00For you, I reckon you'd have nailed it in a week.
24:05If I'd have been as clever as you,
24:06I probably wouldn't have had to get punched in the head for a living, eh?
24:11That man.
24:13He touched my taxi.
24:16I got angry.
24:18I didn't mean to.
24:20Yeah, I know. I know.
24:22Actually, earlier, Joe, I, er...
24:26I got angry when somebody touched something that was important to me.
24:30It was our mum's tape.
24:33Maybe we're not as different as we thought.
24:36Cobina.
24:38He had a poster where we were boys.
24:41Azuma Nelson?
24:43He was a boxer too.
24:45He was a great fighter.
24:47Better than me.
24:48He only lost twice when he was in his prime.
24:51To Salvador Sanchez and Pernel Wittiger.
24:55Two of the best boxers ever.
24:58You lost eight times to...
25:00not-so-good boxers.
25:02LAUGHTER
25:04All right, easy.
25:06Yeah, you're right.
25:10Kojo.
25:12My friend owns a car lot.
25:14And one of my best friends has a garage.
25:17Um...
25:18I could give him a call and...
25:21if you're up for it, we can go visit.
25:24All right.
25:25Well, obviously it's a bit late now, but, er...
25:29I'll call him and we'll go tomorrow.
25:31All right?
25:34Kwame.
25:37You did win Twitter eight times, though.
25:40And you drew once.
25:42So that's still good.
25:45You all right?
25:51I shouldn't have been such a cow to you.
25:54I was just...
25:56so determined to, like, prove myself.
25:59To show you up.
26:01I'm sorry.
26:03I'm sorry.
26:05I'm sorry.
26:07I'm sorry.
26:09I'm sorry.
26:11I'm sorry.
26:13To show you up.
26:15And now, look.
26:17Look what I've done.
26:19Penny, it's not your fault.
26:21It is.
26:23I just... I don't know how it happened.
26:27But it happened on my watch.
26:29You should have been in charge.
26:31Penny.
26:32No.
26:33It's true.
26:35Dad was right.
26:36Everything I do just ends in tears, doesn't it?
26:40It's just me.
26:42Look, Penny.
