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?
14:27Er, absolutely not.
14:28You've got aftershave, chocolate, and three bottles of a root boot.
14:29Mum, you're going to share the latter, mind?
14:30Well, come on, boys.
14:31Kettles on.
14:32Let's go.
14:33Go on, there, muscles.
14:34Hey?
14:35Hey.
14:36Hey, buddy.
14:37Hey, buddy.
14:38I've got the red carpet.
14:39I've got the red carpet.
14:40Can you get the cab?
14:41I've only got euros.
14:42Yeah.
14:43Have a good time, mum?
14:44What, three weeks away from here, in the sunshine,
14:45drinking spicy margaritas?
14:46Yeah, you'd better have had a good time.
14:47Well, come on then.
14:48Get your mum's bags.
14:49Oh, I should go on the duty-free ones.
14:50Can't be a bit old to eat at Holland?
14:51Share the latter, mind?
14:52Well, come on, boys.
14:54Kettles on.
14:55Let's go.
14:56Go on, there, muscles.
14:57Hey, Jim's paying off, innit?
14:58Oh, shut up, Harry.
14:59Oh, the gym?
15:00Oh, God.
15:01You'll have him eating steamed chicken and broccoli next.
15:04As if I'd train with him.
15:05No, I'll go with Zach.
15:06He knows his stuff.
15:18Bit of fresh air.
15:19Yeah.
15:20I'll open a window.
15:22Well, er, we'll see if George is free.
15:25Er, you know, go down for a sparring session.
15:27I said no.
15:31You were doing so well.
15:32I thought you'd turned a corner.
15:34Yes, I just, I just wanna, er...
15:36I just want a bit of time to myself.
15:38I just...
15:39I've still got half of these to get through and...
15:42I'll just drop it, yeah?
15:44Yeah.
15:49I've gotta get to work.
15:50Er...
15:51See you later.
15:53Yeah.
15:54See you later.
15:55Sorry I'm late.
15:56I was, er, just catching up with Lily.
15:58Huh.
15:59Is that Uncle Billy?
16:00Another one she'll never get to meet.
16:01Come on.
16:02Out with it.
16:03Flicking through old photo albums hardly screams, I'm in a good place.
16:06You love it, don't you?
16:07Backpacking.
16:08Yeah.
16:09Yeah.
16:10Yeah.
16:11Best thing I've ever done.
16:12Why?
16:13Terry.
16:14He's asked me to go with him for a few months.
16:15You as well.
16:16Are you serious?
16:17Are you serious?
16:18Are you serious?
16:19No.
16:20No.
16:21No.
16:22No.
16:23No.
16:24No.
16:25No.
16:26No.
16:27No.
16:28No.
16:29No.
16:30No.
16:31No.
16:32No.
16:33No.
16:34No.
16:35No.
16:36No.
16:37No.
16:38Well, 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.
16:46Both of my girls together in Bali.
16:49Bali?
16:50Yeah.
16:51What's wrong with that?
16:53Best place I've ever been, by far.
16:56I was planning on going back.
16:58I told you.
16:59Fate.
17:00And he's...
17:01He's offered to cover all the costs.
17:03Just think about it.
17:05No more hostels. No more slamming it.
17:08And if things go wrong, you know, we can just go our own way.
17:12Take our own path. Or just come back here.
17:16So if I say yes, if we... if we really do this,
17:21there is just one problem.
17:24Bianca.
17:28Yeah.
17:35I thought I was opening up. Mr. Leeson?
17:50Walford videos.
17:52Oh, it hasn't been a video show for years.
17:55You're lying.
18:05I've got to open up. I'm already late.
18:13Nigel? What's the matter?
18:16They changed it.
18:19They changed it without telling me.
18:22Oh.
18:24What have they changed?
18:26The video shop.
18:28Why is everyone acting like this? It's totally normal.
18:32Shall we go home?
18:35Yeah?
18:36Back to Poole.
18:37I'll walk with you.
18:39Albert Square, mate.
18:41Yeah.
18:42Erm...
18:43Yeah, you know, I'm sure it is a lovely area,
18:45but I'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, I'll call you back.
18:53Alright.
18:54See ya.
18:55Sorry about that.
18:56It's alright.
18:57You sounded serious.
18:59Oh, er, no, just, er, Rick the Fish.
19:02It's the fella who's shipping this out to Bali for me.
19:04He says he can't get it picked up for a couple of weeks, though.
19:07Oh.
19:08It's a shame, really, that it couldn't go down to the Docklands
19:11and you could set off to Bali from there.
19:13Yeah.
19:14Yeah, it'd save on the, er, carbon footprint.
19:16You know, four of us on a nine-hour flight.
19:18True.
19:21Look, is that a yes?
19:23Are you coming?
19:24I don't know how long for, yeah?
19:27So we'll just see how it goes.
19:28But, yeah, we're all on board.
19:30You won't regret this, I promise you.
19:32This is all I've ever wanted.
19:33A family around me.
19:35My own, my own flesh and blood.
19:38Well.
19:41Right, er, well, I'd better get packing.
19:44Yeah, I'd better book you some tickets.
19:46Business car's probably out of the question, but, er,
19:48but they're nothing less than economy plus.
19:51Ha, 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.
20:17Ivani?
20:18Can you come here, please?
20:25I haven't boxed, if that's what you're thinking.
20:27Let me see your eyes.
20:33Not red.
20:35Look, if this is gonna be a speech about how it's a gateway drug,
20:38can 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.
20:50About what happened to her.
20:52And the complaint I made.
20:54What, let me guess.
20:56They were just doing their job?
20:58See, what's the point?
21:00There's one last thing we can do.
21:02Take things further.
21:03Say what happened to you, from your perspective.
21:08Describe exactly what you went through.
21:11How you were feeling.
21:12How you're still feeling.
21:13You'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.
21:36I ordered for you.
21:37I hope you don't mind.
21:38I know what you like.
21:39Oh, you didn't have to do that.
21:41If I can't get my sister a takeaway every now and then,
21:44from a place with a one-star hygiene meeting.
21:46Come on.
21:47You know I'm skint.
21:48I'll put it on a plate, make it look nice.
21:51There's something I need to talk to you about.
21:55Listen.
21:57It's about Terry.
22:00I know he's your dad.
22:02And...
22:04She shouldn't have sucked me or in.
22:06It wasn't my place.
22:08You've changed your tune.
22:10Oh.
22:11I don't mind admitting I'm wrong every now and then.
22:16All right.
22:18Cut out a word.
22:20I mean, look at my dad.
22:23David's David.
22:25Has he changed over the years?
22:27Who knows?
22:29Maybe Terry's done the same.
22:32Well, maybe this won't be as hard to swallow as I thought.
22:35Oh, I know it's cheap.
22:36I'm sure it'll be all right.
22:37I've seen the food.
22:40Terry's asked me, Bex and the baby to go to Bali for a few months and I've said yes.
22:50Have you now?
22:51I know it's a big call.
22:55And I know everyone's gonna think I'm mad but, 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.
23:36I mean, you going then?
23:38I'll have to take you out shoplifting with me again, won't I?
23:40And get you a few bits.
23:42Don't know if you've got anything in that wardrobe for backpacking.
23:46We're leaving tomorrow.
23:48He's booking the flights as we speak.
23:56Wow.
23:59That's...
24:01That's great.
24:04This is like the Last Supper.
24:20There we go.
24:22Two sugars, nice and strong.
24:27Seriously.
24:28I'm fine now.
24:31Last time I lived around here, it was a video rental.
24:34I used to manage it.
24:36Oh.
24:37Don't really need them anymore, do we?
24:38What with live streaming and I...
24:40I 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.
24:51Proper niche ones, though.
24:54You know, films that are actually scary.
24:57Not just jump scares and gore.
25:00Hmm.
25:01I can watch them if I'm with somebody, but I won't...
25:03And we had foreign films.
25:04Not as popular, but still a market.
25:08That's where I met Julie.
25:12She was in her French cinema.
25:15Maybe she'll come in soon for another one.
25:19I, er...
25:21Thought I heard voices.
25:23Oh, Phil, this is, er...
25:25Sorry, you did tell me.
25:27Yeah, it's all right, mate. I know she is.
25:29Oh, Phil, yeah.
25:31I found him on Turpin Road, a little bit confused.
25:34Yeah, he's been through a lot lately, but, er...
25:37Well, he'll be fine.
25:39Are you sure he's okay?
25:40I said he'd be fine, Jane.
25:41No, I just, er...
25:43But thanks. Thanks for bringing him on.
25:46Okay. Right.
25:48Well, I'll be on my way.
25:50Maybe see you around.
25:51All right, yeah, see you. Sorry.
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, er...
26:15The budget only stretched to flesh and blood.
26:18I'll tell you what, I'll get her to send you some postcards.
26:20You know, easy to forget, innit? Out of sight, out of mind.
26:24You might think you can pull the wool over her eyes.
26:27But you don't fool me.
26:29It doesn't matter, does it? She's made her choice.
26:34Oh, that's the big plan, is it? Get the old battle axe involved.
26:38Probably does it, eh?
26:40Someone who knows the real you.
26:42Someone who can see your true colours.
26:44The woman? She doesn't even see her own lot.
26:46Yeah, Sonia told me about it all. What was it?
26:47Four kids from four different dads, and I'm the bad guy.
26:51Watch it, Terry.
26:53Although, it appears that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?
26:56Sonia said you've got four of your own.
26:58They'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.
27:15Now listen, I've waited a long, long time for this, and I'm not going to let you ruin it, okay?
27:20So you just steer clear of us, understand?
27:26Oh!
27:27So, let's go back.
27:28See you later.
27:29I'll be back.
27:31Oh, man!
27:33So, what do you do?
27:35Do you really want to do that?
27:36I'll be right back.
27:38You can take your picture of your sock and I'll be right back.
27:40I lost your dog with my频명, I lost your dog anyway.
27:43Hey man!
27:45How are you?
27:49How are you given this?
