00:00MUSIC
00:18Please try and kick the ball in the square, yeah?
00:20Come on, one touch football.
00:22Right, that's it, reindeer, come on.
00:24Up the hammers.
00:30Quickly, quickly, quickly.
00:32Lay down there, all right, go on.
00:34Oh, careful!
00:36Sorry, son, boys.
00:38Sorry, my bad.
00:39It's OK. No, I'm done, sir.
00:41Sorry about that.
00:42Hey, how are you? Right, come on, let's go.
00:44Ooh, very impressive, I must say.
00:48You know what they say, it's not the size of the boat,
00:50it's about the motion and the ocean.
00:52You only say that if you've got a small boat.
00:54So, who's wrapped up with a speedboat?
00:57Well, is he good-looking?
00:59Yes.
01:01This is.
01:03Bob.
01:04This is Terry, and he's my dad.
01:05All right?
01:06She's the one I was telling you about.
01:08Sorted out all the guided tours for the true crime fans.
01:10Oh, yeah.
01:11I'm sorry.
01:12It's all right.
01:13All right, Terry, I'm Alfie Moon,
01:15and I have no idea who this battle axe is.
01:18But, um, anyway, I'm gonna leave you to it.
01:21Right, but, Ernie, last one in the park's the referee.
01:23I'll see you later.
01:24All right, see you later, Tom.
01:25See ya.
01:26Ta-da.
01:27Is kids really called Bert and Ernie?
01:30Yeah.
01:31Can't choose your neighbours, I guess.
01:34They're all right, really.
01:35Even Mum has her moments.
01:37She delivered Becks many moons ago.
01:40Didn't have her down as a midwife.
01:42You'd be right.
01:44It's a long story.
01:46Yeah.
01:47And I want to hear it.
01:48I want to hear all the stories.
01:50And then I want you to tell me what you think about my offer.
01:53I still haven't heard back from the police about that complaint I made.
02:05When you really think she'll be top of their priority list?
02:08Well, if I don't get an update from Jack soon,
02:10I'll be shoving a rocket where the sun don't shine.
02:21Manifesting works.
02:22Who knew?
02:23Good morning.
02:24So, Mo hears me screaming through the wall, and she comes round to check that I'm not
02:37being murdered, and there I am, Becks crowning away on the sofa.
02:41And you had no idea that you...
02:43Not a clue.
02:44No.
02:45I was only 15.
02:47Well, you did a good job, and you stuck by her, and you brought her up proper.
02:52It wasn't always that simple.
02:55She was adopted at first.
02:58I got her back when she was five and a half.
03:02Well, you got there in the end.
03:05Bit like me, I guess.
03:07Just took me a little bit longer.
03:09Well, I think it's a bit different.
03:12I was just a kid.
03:14Yeah, well, I weren't far off meself.
03:16I mean, hands up, I should never have left you the way I did, but...
03:21Would me and your mum have sorted it out if I'd stayed?
03:24Worked through me issues?
03:26Would I have stepped up as a dad?
03:33Do you, er...
03:35Do you regret putting Becks up for adoption?
03:37Missing all those milestones?
03:39You know, first words, first steps, first at school?
03:41Yeah, of course I do.
03:43But it wasn't like that.
03:45I did what I thought was best at the time.
03:47So...
03:49You can relate?
03:53No, I...
03:54I couldn't do it then.
03:55But I'm a different man now.
03:57I've...
03:58Travelled.
03:59I've earned good money.
04:00I proper turned me life around.
04:02I've lived, Sonia.
04:05Don't you think it's your turn to do the same?
04:10Just all a bit fast, innit?
04:12In fact, it's not just fast.
04:14It's...
04:15Ridiculous.
04:17I just need a bit more time.
04:18Yeah, of course.
04:21But my flight leaves tomorrow still.
04:25Yeah.
04:26It's just a boat, Freddie.
04:30It's a speed boat, yeah?
04:31Yeah, well, I'm not the biggest fan.
04:33Why, face sake, can't you got your own laptop?
04:35I don't want Sonia to catch me playing detective at home, do I?
04:38Right, well, I doubt he's the type to be posting on his Instagram about the crimes he's been committing to you.
04:42All right, Gen Z, why don't you come over and see what you can find?
04:46Go on.
04:49All right.
04:50Well, it's no surprise you can't find him.
04:51You spelt his surname wrong.
04:52Well, it looks all right to me.
04:54Oh.
04:55Right, you're looking out for Sonia?
04:56Yeah.
04:57Oh, I sense a butt coming on.
04:59When...
05:00When Zoe told me that she wanted to move to Spain with...
05:03Harry...
05:05Of course, I said I wasn't having any of it, but the more I said no, the more she just dug her heels in.
05:09It's different.
05:10Zoe's your daughter, not your sister.
05:11Sort of was at the time, actually.
05:13Bruce, my point, Sonia's too young.
05:14I remember my mum crying her eyes out.
05:16Him shouting his mouth off, kicking off.
05:18Look, everyone thought I was wrong about Rhys.
05:20Don't want to make the same mistake again, do I?
05:22That's a good point, to be fair.
05:24Thank you, Freddie.
05:25I'm not saying you're wrong, Bea.
05:26Just be careful where you go about it, yeah?
05:28You go too hard, you'll just push her further away.
05:34So you're saying I just turned up out of blue?
05:37No, I'm not buying that.
05:38So you're saying my daughter's a liar?
05:40No, I'm saying your daughter brought dealers into my house, yeah?
05:43And that ain't a good look for a copper, is it?
05:45But traumatising the young girl is.
05:47All right, calm down.
05:48It's a bit too early to go all caveman, yeah?
05:51Is it yours?
05:52Be honest with me.
05:54It's not mine.
05:55I just told you that.
05:56But have you been smoking it?
05:59Avani.
06:00What do we say?
06:01About being open with us, telling us everything?
06:03Look, I ain't doing this.
06:05Avani!
06:11He ain't gonna do anything.
06:12Avani.
06:15Avani.
06:16Look, please.
06:19Look, teenage girls ain't easy, I get it.
06:22But this is the second time that Amy's been pulled into this stuff.
06:26She was in the wrong?
06:27That's fair.
06:29Bizarrely a surprise, is it?
06:31After everything she's been through, treat a child like a criminal and they're gonna act out.
06:36Look, the investigating officers, they played by the book.
06:40She wasn't smoking weed and hanging around with dealers before all of this, was she?
06:43No.
06:44So we need to get to the root cause of it.
06:47Well, she's your daughter.
06:48That's down to you, innit?
06:51Would you be happy if they did the same thing to Amy?
06:54I didn't think so.
06:56Can you at least just chase up my complaint?
07:01I see what I can do.
07:03No promises.
07:06Barley.
07:08I don't know, Cass.
07:10I've only known him half a day.
07:12And I mean, Barley.
07:13I didn't even know where it was till I looked on the map.
07:16Well, you know.
07:18Might fall in love with the place.
07:20I mean, I didn't exactly see myself swapping Walford for South Africa all those years ago.
07:24Did you regret that?
07:26No.
07:27No, not to begin with.
07:29Not until Gavin showed his true colours.
07:31But then again, it was different for me, innit?
07:32I work with my brother.
07:34Not with a man I barely know.
07:36What if it's my chance to get to know him?
07:39My only chance?
07:43Yeah.
07:44Yeah, I get it.
07:45I do.
07:46But sometimes you just have to go with your gut instincts, don't you?
07:48No.
07:49Just tweet carefully.
07:50All right, Summer?
07:51And do what's right for you.
07:53Not him.
07:57I don't think that I can bear hearing her crying at night any more, Harvey.
08:03How's your hobby?
08:04Sorry.
08:05Sorry, I was miles away.
08:07Hi.
08:09Hello, you.
08:12I was actually looking for Stacey.
08:14Is she working?
08:17What, is everything OK?
08:19She won't come out of the room.
08:20She's not eating.
08:21She barely says anything to anyone.
08:23I'm so sorry.
08:24I didn't realise she was still struggling like that.
08:27Actually, Sonia.
08:29Would you come to a tour?
08:31I mean, I'm at Melvick's End.
08:34And you two will have a special bond.
08:37So, you know, maybe, maybe you get through to her.
08:40You two will.
08:42And you leave it with me.
08:49Afternoon.
08:55So you're just going to ignore it, then?
08:57The massive elephant in the room?
08:59All I did was chase up a complaint from an over.
09:02Oh, so you admit it, then?
09:03You're trying to throw us under the bus?
09:05We weren't by the book, Gov.
09:06Was it my proudest moment as an officer? No way.
09:08By the letter of the law, we did nothing wrong.
09:11You did.
09:12Not like you were just doing your job.
09:14But would I want my Amy going through the same thing?
09:17Even if she did commit the crime?
09:20You're just kids, isn't they?
09:22Do you know what the problem with you is?
09:24You've been out of uniform too long.
09:31Here you go. Come on.
09:39What's this?
09:42I really had that made before she left.
09:45Guilty conscience.
09:47Yeah, but it don't make up for what she did, does it?
09:52I haven't asked you how you're getting on yet.
09:57Your mum's worried about you.
09:58Your mum's worried about you.
09:59She's always worried about me.
10:02So there's Terry.
10:04You sure it's him this time?
10:06Yeah.
10:08Yeah, it's him.
10:10We had ID and a photo of me and him before.
10:14Cory left her as a baby.
10:15Do you think, er, do you think you'd be doing all this if things hadn't happened the way they did?
10:22Flying halfway around the world with Rhys months after having a baby?
10:27Well, I seriously doubt it.
10:29I had a job getting him to sorrow, let alone Asia.
10:31So what's changed?
10:35Just everything, innit?
10:37What he did.
10:39These true crime nutjobs turning up on my doorstep like I'm East London's answer to Lady Macbeth.
10:48Losing Martin.
10:50Now he's still.
10:54But it's not just the last few months, Stace.
10:59Billy.
11:01Grandad.
11:03Dot.
11:05Jamie.
11:06I think I'll be used to it by now.
11:10All that loss.
11:13But I don't know.
11:15It just feels different this time.
11:19Too many ghosts.
11:22You need to have a word with yourself, son.
11:27Like it or not, this is my lot.
11:30Kids, grandkid, mum, the business.
11:32I've got ties.
11:34I've got ties.
11:35I've got ties I can't cut.
11:38But you can escape.
11:40You can leave the ghosts behind.
11:43What if it goes wrong?
11:45What if he's another Rhys or worse?
11:48Spin him off.
11:50You'll come home and you leave him on the other side of the world.
11:52In my experience, you regret the things in life you didn't do.
11:58You're a good mate, Stace.
12:00I wish we'd been nicer to each other over the years.
12:03What is it you called me once?
12:06More unstable than a three-legged chair.
12:09I take that back.
12:14You're the strongest person I know.
12:17You'll get through this.
12:20You both will.
12:23First off, I'm so sorry.
12:31All guns blazing, that's my go-to.
12:33Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're all parents all in it together.
12:36The complaint? Any update?
12:39Listen, you'll get a written response, but no further action will be taken.
12:44Are you kidding me?
12:45Priya, don't you?
12:47Look, they're good officers.
12:49Carry nothing on their records to show any different.
12:51So what are we supposed to tell her?
12:53Just deal with it, move on.
12:55If you want to feel like you're doing something,
12:57then the complaint needs to come from her.
12:59All right? In her words.
13:01So she's going to re-live the whole thing, yeah?
13:03Like it wasn't humiliating enough the first time.
13:06Believe it. He doesn't have a clue.
13:12She's my little girl.
13:13I don't know what to do.
13:16Then it's got to be worth a go, yeah?
13:19Right?
13:22And she's not going to tell your mum?
13:24She said it's just between us.
13:26I told her I needed new clothes for the baby,
13:28and I didn't want to ask mum for the money.
13:30I just need to pay you back now.
13:32As if. I don't want your money.
13:34Look, Bailey and you are out of trouble.
13:36It's what big sisters are for.
13:39Right, I'd better go.
13:40I said I'd give mum a break from the screaming ball of flesh.
13:44It's what big sisters are for, yeah?
13:49Look, it does get better.
13:52Promise.
13:54I just don't want to forget him.
13:56As if you are ever going to forget Dad.
13:58Look, I won't let you for a start.
14:02Lily, if you ever need anything else,
14:06you only have to ask.
14:08OK?
14:09Hi.
14:11Oh, what's this? A welcoming committee?
14:15I forgot the red carpet.
14:17Hey, can you get the cab? I've only got you a roast.
14:19Yeah.
14:20Have a good time, mum?
14:21What, three weeks away from here, in the sunshine,
14:22drinking spicy margaritas?
14:23Yeah, you'd better have had a good time.
14:24Well, come on in. Get your mum's bags.
14:25Oh, I should go on the duty-free ones.
14:26Can't be a bit old to eat at Holland?
14:27Uh, absolutely not.
14:28You've got aftershave chocolates and three bottles of a root root.
14:30Mum, you gonna share the latter, mind?
14:32Well, come on.
14:33Kettle's on. Let's go.
14:34Go on there, Muscles.
14:36Eh?
14:37I don't know.
14:38Really?
14:39Music.
14:40I'm a not, mate.
14:41It's going too late.
14:42This is a bit old to eat at Holland.
14:43Uh.
14:44Absolutely not.
14:45You've got aftershave chocolates and three bottles of Arooboo.
14:47Mum, you're gonna share the latter, mind?
14:49Well, come on boys.
14:50Kettle's on.
14:51Let's go.
14:52Go on, then, Muscles.
14:53Hey?
14:54Who?
14:55It's got all their muscles, hey?
14:57Jim's paying off, innit?
14:58Oh, shut up, Harry.
14:59Oh, the gym?
15:00Oh, God, you'll have him eating steamed chicken and broccoli next.
15:04As if I'd train with him.
15:05No, I'll go with Zach. He knows his stuff.
15:17Bit of fresh air, be good for you?
15:21That blue window.
15:23We'll see if George is free.
15:26I'll go down for a sparring session.
15:27I said no.
15:31You were doing so well.
15:33I thought you'd turned a corner.
15:35I just want to...
15:37I just want a bit of time to myself.
15:39I've still got half an ease to get through.
15:43I'll just drop it here, yeah?
15:49I've got to get to work.
15:51See you later.
15:53Yeah.
15:54See you later.
15:59Sorry I'm late.
16:00Was I just catching up with Lily?
16:03Huh.
16:04Is that Uncle Billy?
16:05Mm.
16:08Another one she'll never get to meet.
16:10Come on.
16:11Come on.
16:13Out with it.
16:14Flicking through old photo albums hardly screams, I'm in a good place.
16:22You love it, don't you?
16:23Backpacking.
16:24Yeah.
16:25Yeah.
16:26Best thing I've ever done.
16:27Why?
16:29Terry.
16:30He's asked me to go with him for a few months.
16:33You as well.
16:35Are you serious?
16:37Well, you hardly know him.
16:39I know, but he is still my dad, Bex.
16:41And what if it's fate?
16:43After everything that's happened, he shows up, right place, right time.
16:47Both of my girls, together in Bali.
16:50Bali?
16:52Yeah.
16:53What's wrong with that?
16:55Best place I've ever been by far.
16:56I was planning on going back.
16:58I...
16:59Told you.
17:00Fate.
17:01And he's offered to cover all the costs.
17:04Just think about it.
17:06No more hostels.
17:07No more slamming it.
17:09And if things go wrong, you know, we can just go our own way.
17:12Take our own path.
17:13Or just come back here.
17:16So if I say yes, if we...
17:19if we really do this,
17:22there is just one problem.
17:23Um...
17:25Bianca.
17:28Yeah.
17:45I thought I was opening up.
17:47Mr Leeson!
17:51Walford Videos.
17:52Oh, it hasn't been a video show for years.
17:56You're lying.
18:10Come on.
18:11I've got to open up.
18:12I'm already a date.
18:14Nigel?
18:15What's the matter?
18:18They changed it.
18:20They changed it without telling me.
18:22Oh.
18:24What have they changed?
18:27The video shop.
18:29Why is everyone acting like this is totally normal?
18:33So...
18:34Should we go home?
18:35Yeah?
18:36Back to Pearl.
18:37I walk with you.
18:38I walk with you.
18:40Albert Square, mate.
18:42Yeah.
18:43Erm...
18:44Yeah, you know what?
18:45I'm sure it is a lovely area, but...
18:46I'm not sure I want it left unattended for a couple of weeks.
18:48You know what I mean?
18:49Yeah.
18:50Alright.
18:51Look, look, look.
18:52I'll...
18:53I'll call you back.
18:54Alright.
18:55Sorry about that.
18:56It's alright.
18:58Sounded serious.
18:59Oh.
19:00Er...
19:01No.
19:02Just, er...
19:03Rick the fish.
19:04It's the fella who's shipping this out to Bali for me.
19:05He says he can't get it picked up for a couple of weeks, though.
19:08Oh.
19:09It's a shame, really, that it couldn't go down to the Docklands
19:11and you could set off to Bali from there.
19:14Yeah.
19:15Yeah, it'd save on the, er...
19:16carbon footprint.
19:17You know, four of us on a nine-hour flight.
19:18True.
19:19Is that a yes?
19:22Are you coming?
19:24I don't know how long for.
19:26Yeah?
19:27So we'll just see how it goes.
19:28But, yeah, we're all on board.
19:29You won't regret this, I promise you.
19:31This is all I've ever wanted.
19:33A family around me.
19:35My own...
19:36My own flesh and blood.
19:40Well.
19:41Right.
19:42Er...
19:43Well, I'd better get packing.
19:44Yeah.
19:45I'd better book you some tickets.
19:46Er...
19:47Business car's probably out of the question.
19:48But, erm...
19:49But, erm...
19:50Nothing less than...
19:51Economy Plus!
19:52Ha-ha-ha-ha!
20:00Bianca, where are ya?
20:02When you get this, come home, yeah?
20:05There's something I need to tell you.
20:16Ivani!
20:17Can you come here, please?
20:25I haven't boxed if that's what you're thinking.
20:28Let me see your eyes.
20:33Not red.
20:35Look, if this is gonna be a speech about how it's a gateway drug, can you save it?
20:39I had a couple zoos, it's not that deep.
20:41Can you just sit down, please?
20:48We've been talking to Amy's dad.
20:51About what happened to her.
20:53And the complaint I made.
20:55What, let me guess.
20:56They were just doing their job?
20:59See, what's the point?
21:00There's one last thing we can do.
21:02Take things further.
21:04Say what happened to you, from your perspective.
21:07Describe exactly what you went through.
21:11How you were feeling.
21:12How you're still feeling.
21:14You're joking, right?
21:16This could really change things, Ivani.
21:19Make sure it doesn't happen again.
21:21It doesn't matter, though, Mum.
21:23It's already happened.
21:26Nothing's gonna change that.
21:28I ordered for you.
21:29I hope you don't mind.
21:30I know what you like.
21:31Oh, you didn't have to do that.
21:32If I can't get my sister a takeaway every now and then.
21:33From a place with a one-star hygiene rating.
21:34Come on.
21:35You know I'm skint.
21:36I'll put it on a plate, make it look nice.
21:38There's something I need to talk to you about.
21:42Listen.
21:43It's about Terry.
21:44I know he's your dad.
21:45And...
21:46I shouldn't have stuck my oren.
21:47It wasn't my place.
21:48You've changed your tune.
21:49Oh.
21:50I don't mind admitting I'm wrong every now and then.
21:52I can't get away every now and then.
21:53From a place with a one-star hygiene rating.
21:54Come on.
21:55You know I'm skint.
21:56I'll put it on a plate, make it look nice.
21:57There's something I need to talk to you about.
21:58Listen.
21:59It's about Terry.
22:01I know he's your dad.
22:02And...
22:04I shouldn't have stuck my oren.
22:06It wasn't my place.
22:08You've changed your tune.
22:09Oh.
22:10I don't mind admitting I'm wrong every now and then.
22:15All right.
22:17Cut out a word.
22:19You look at my dad.
22:22David's David.
22:24Has he changed over the years?
22:27Who knows?
22:29Maybe Terry's done the same.
22:31Well, maybe this won't be as hard to swallow as I thought.
22:34Oh, I know it's cheap. I'm sure it'll be all right.
22:36No, I don't mean the food.
22:37Terry's asked me, Bex and the baby to go to Bali for a few months and I've said yes.
22:49Have you now?
22:53I know it's a big call.
22:55And I know everyone's gonna think I'm mad.
22:56But, you know, I just wanna get away from Walford for a little while and let the dust settle, you know?
23:01He'll be a golden ticket, I see.
23:10I get it.
23:12You do?
23:14Yeah.
23:15I mean, if David came along tomorrow and offered to whisk me off my feet for a long holiday, I'd jump at the chance.
23:25You do, you.
23:34So, when you're going then?
23:37I'll have to take you out shoplifting with me again, won't I? And get you a few bits.
23:42Don't know if you've got anything in that wardrobe for backpacking.
23:44We're leaving tomorrow.
23:48He's booking the flights as we speak.
23:55Wow.
23:58Well, that's...
24:00That's great.
24:01This is like the Last Supper.
24:20There we go.
24:22Two sugars, nice and strong.
24:27Seriously, I'm fine now.
24:31Last time I lived around here, it was a video rental.
24:33I used to manage it.
24:35Oh.
24:36Don't really need them anymore, do we?
24:38What, with live streaming?
24:39I used to love working in that shop.
24:42My little sanctuary.
24:44Of course we stopped all the blockbusters, you know, all the mainstream rubbish, but...
24:48Horror.
24:50That was my thing.
24:52Proper niche ones, though.
24:54You know.
24:55Films that are actually scary.
24:58Not just jump scares and gore.
25:00Hmm.
25:01I can watch them if I'm with somebody, but...
25:03And we had foreign films.
25:05Um...
25:06Not as popular, but still a market.
25:11That's where I met Julie.
25:13She was in her French cinema.
25:16Maybe she'll come in soon for another one.
25:20I, uh...
25:22Thought I heard voices.
25:23Oh, Phil.
25:24This is, uh...
25:25Sorry, you did tell me.
25:26Yeah, it's all right, mate.
25:27I know who she is.
25:28Oh, Phil.
25:29Yeah.
25:30Um...
25:31I found him on Turpin Road, a little bit confused.
25:34Yeah, he's, uh...
25:35He's been through a lot lately, but, uh...
25:38Well, he'll be fine.
25:39Are you sure he's okay?
25:40I said he'd be fine, Jane.
25:41No, I just, uh...
25:43But thanks.
25:44Thanks for bringing him up.
25:46Okay.
25:47Right.
25:48Well.
25:49I'll be on my way.
25:50Maybe see you around.
25:51All right, yeah, see you.
25:52Sorry.
26:09I take it she's given you the good news?
26:12Listen, I'd offer to buy you a ticket, but the, uh...
26:14The budget only stretched to flesh and blood.
26:17I'll tell you what.
26:18I'll get her to send you some postcards.
26:20You know, easy to forget, isn't it?
26:22Out of sight, out of mind.
26:24You might think you can pull the wool over her eyes.
26:27But you don't fool me.
26:28Well, it doesn't matter, does it?
26:29She's made her choice.
26:34Oh, that's the big plan, is it?
26:36Get the old battle axe involved.
26:38Probably who does it, eh?
26:40Someone who knows the real you.
26:41Someone who can see your true colours.
26:43The woman?
26:44She doesn't even see her own lot.
26:46Yeah, Sonia told me about it all.
26:47What was it?
26:48Four kids from four different dads, and I'm the bad guy.
26:51Watch it, Terry.
26:52Although, it appears that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?
26:55Sonia said you've got four of your own.
26:57But they've all left home, and I don't blame them.
26:59Sonia said you always were a gobby little bitch, always crying till you got your own way.
27:08A woman like you needs a good slap just to keep them in check.
27:14Now listen, I've waited a long, long time for this, and I'm not going to let you ruin it, okay?
27:21So you just steer clear of us, understand?
27:23Turn off!
27:25Oh boy!
27:29Ha.
27:31Help!
27:37Oh boy!
27:38Hey.
27:39Hey!
27:41Hey!
27:42Hey!
27:43Hey!
27:44Hey.
27:45Hey, hey, hey.
27:46Hey.
27:47Hey, hey!
27:48Hey!
27:49Hey!
27:50Hey!
27:51Hey, hey.
