01:59Don't creep up on me like that.
02:01We'll have someone celebrate you.
02:03You can't sell up. We won't let you.
02:05🎵
02:08🎵
02:26Why would you want to sell?
02:30You're surrounded by people who love you.
02:32Real family.
02:33What does that mean?
02:35Cousins, uncles, ex-husbands.
02:37Well, we's a bit more than that, weren't we?
02:39We's mine and Sonia.
02:40We haven't been that for years.
02:41You've got to keep this place in the family.
02:43It's got original coving and that.
02:45And since when have you been sentimental about Victorian architecture?
02:48You ran away to New Zealand for years.
02:50Yeah, well I came back, didn't I?
02:52Yeah, but you did it though, didn't you?
02:54You took a risk to make a better life.
02:56Hold on, you went to Catering?
02:58It's not about geography, Martin.
03:00Alright, Rhys and me will move wherever we can afford
03:02as long as he stops stressing about money.
03:05What?
03:07We like Rhys, OK? We really do.
03:10Well, I'm glad to hear it.
03:13He's hardly the human dynamo, though, is he?
03:16Me and Rhys have been going for IVF for months.
03:18Why have you not said anything before?
03:20You haven't been moving away before.
03:22You're selling up because we cannot afford to start a family here.
03:25Alright, I'm doing it because I love him.
03:27But earlier you told me he's an accountant
03:28who can't account for his own money and now you're selling up.
03:32That's a red flag.
03:34Red flag?
03:36Have you heard from Gerry Brennan lately?
03:38What kind of flag's sleeping with your own cousin?
03:40Huh? Magenta?
03:42And how's Ruby these days?
03:43What kind of flag are you, Martin? Dusky peach?
03:45That's a bit harsh.
03:46No, what's harsh is you two suddenly deciding you can't live without me.
03:50Whilst you made lives for yourselves, I looked after Dot.
03:53And now I want to start my own family with a man I love.
03:56Yes, he may not be a human dynamo, alright,
03:58but he's the kindest man I've ever met.
04:00So I'm going to cook him a nice dinner, I'm going to tell him we're selling.
04:03Because after this lecture from you two hypocrites,
04:05Rhys is the only family I've got.
04:16You'd understand.
04:19I know you would.
04:23Yep, I'll do the room checks now.
04:34Oi! What you playing at?
04:37Yes, I've been waiting over an hour.
04:39Yeah, lamb kebab special.
04:41Kofta, doner and shish.
04:45PHONE RINGS
04:53Lost your key again, have you, Tommy?
05:05Hello?
05:09Hello?
05:14Kathleen Slater?
05:16Who wants to know?
05:18I'm DCM Waddeau, this is Leslie Drinkwater from Walford Child Services.
05:21What do you want?
05:23We've had a report that a child is being physically abused at this address.
05:26May we step inside?
05:28Yeah, go for it.
05:30Come on.
05:42Yeah, I mean, I'm a bit surprised to be honest, yeah.
05:45Yeah, I know, it's out of order.
05:47Oh, Penny filling you in.
05:49It's outrageous, isn't it?
05:51What's that?
05:53Phil demoting me over a bottle of fizz.
05:55Like that's the worst crime to ever happen in this place.
05:58You know Phil, didn't you?
06:00How is that helpful, Zak?
06:02Look, Penny, do you think you could just have a word with Phil?
06:05Just tell him, you know,
06:07you need Chelsea's experience to make your night a success.
06:11I spoke to Phil already.
06:13Oh, great, lifesaver. What did he say?
06:15He appointed me the new manager.
06:21What?
06:23Well, there was a vacancy
06:25and he clearly saw someone he could trust to turn this place around.
06:31So you shafted me.
06:33Hi, everyone.
06:35As the new manager, I just want to make it clear
06:38that theft and dishonesty are not workplace values we share here at Peggy's.
06:42Anyone caught stealing will be fired on the spot.
06:46OK? Thank you.
06:55I thought you lot had enough to deal with without responding to crank calls.
06:58Miss Slater, this is a police investigation into reports of assault on a child.
07:02We all have your child's best interests at heart.
07:05Don't patronise me in my own home.
07:07I understand this is overwhelming, but I assure you we're not here as judge and jury.
07:11Yeah, I'll bet.
07:13A cup of tea might help settle the nerves.
07:16You allowed caffeine this week?
07:18No. My body's a temple.
07:20Lucky you. Mine's a crime scene.
07:23Milk, three sugars, thanks.
07:25Was it the neighbours that made the call?
07:28I don't blame them, the noise that comes out of here.
07:30I've got three boys, you know what they're like.
07:33Was it the neighbours that made the call?
07:35It was your son, Tommy.
07:38He said he's being physically assaulted by you.
07:44I need the loo or you're going to arrest me for that and all?
07:47You're not under arrest. Please don't be long.
07:50This process will be over much faster with your corporation.
07:55Hang on.
08:04What is it?
08:05Look, I haven't got long, all right?
08:06Tommy's told the old bill that I hit him.
08:08They're in there with the social.
08:10He's obviously lying, isn't he?
08:12He's not lying. He punched me in the stomach last night,
08:14so I shoved him and he went flying.
08:16I really thought I heard him.
08:19Why did he punch you?
08:21He said he wants Phil to be his dad and I said,
08:23he can't, Alf is your dad.
08:25OK, this ain't about me, all right?
08:28Look, I shouldn't have hurt my boy.
08:30They're going to take him away from me. This is really bad.
08:33Look at this.
08:35Oh, God.
08:37OK, you tell them what he did to you, then you say it was self-defence.
08:40Are you kidding? If he lives in a violent home,
08:42they'll take them all away from us.
08:44No-one's taking no-one away, all right?
08:45Well, I'm not chancing it, all right?
08:47So, Tommy, you tell him to tell them that he's lying,
08:50or we will lose the family.
08:54OK.
08:55Run.
08:56Oh.
09:15Join yourself.
09:17Someone left their phone.
09:18Our lesson number one, knock before entering my office.
09:22You snake.
09:24That's Miss Snake to you.
09:26Drop the act, Penny.
09:28A couple of hours ago, we were the Wicked Stepsisters on the same team.
09:32Look, I like you, I really do.
09:34I like you too.
09:36So then just tell Phil you'd rather I kept my job.
09:39Come on and we'll say no more about it.
09:41Really?
09:42Yeah. Because it's the right thing to do.
09:45Like I gave you this club night because it's the right thing to do.
09:49You deserve a break.
09:51Oh, my saviour.
09:53I did not mean like that.
09:55I mean, I see a lot of myself in you.
09:58You're ambitious, you're smart, you're tough.
10:01You've got a lot to offer this place.
10:04Thank you.
10:06So you'll tell Phil you made a mistake?
10:10No.
10:12I said I liked you.
10:14I didn't say I'd relinquish my power to someone undeserving of the role.
10:19And as my Wicked Stepsister says, I do have a lot to offer this place.
10:25OK.
10:27Oh, and Chelsea.
10:29Lesson number two.
10:31Don't let your emotions get in the way of business.
11:04PHONE RINGS
11:16Hello?
11:18Oh, no, he's not here at the moment.
11:20I'm his partner. Can I take a message?
11:22Yeah, don't worry, mate. It might never happen.
11:53How could you?
11:55How could you do it?
11:57I'm sorry. I did it with Sonia.
11:59Just leave it. Sonia's right. It's her decision.
12:01What is?
12:02Sacrificing everything for a bloke who can't even wipe his own bum.
12:05Well...
12:06Sonia, she's got a surprise for you.
12:08Have a good evening.
12:10Sonia, she's got a surprise for you.
12:12Have a good evening.
12:41SIREN BLARES
12:45Come and sit down.
12:47Why?
12:49Just come and sit down.
13:05I've got some sad news.
13:07What, the baby? Not again.
13:09No, nothing like that.
13:12They tried to call you mobile, but you didn't answer.
13:17The care home called.
13:20Debbie died tonight.
13:23I'm so sorry.
13:28You don't have to say anything.
13:32I know you loved her.
13:34And she knew that, too.
13:36Can I get you anything? Cup of tea, whisky?
13:39No.
13:46Did this happen?
13:49No.
13:51No, I think we should go and find out how she passed.
13:54To the care home? Yeah.
13:56We go together. Why?
13:58Well, in my experience, when someone dies,
14:02it's best to get all the information straight away.
14:05The last thing you need is unanswered questions driving you mad.
14:10Yeah, the sooner we go, the sooner Debbie will be at peace.
14:16And she deserves that.
14:18You both do.
14:29If you're hanging around here all summer,
14:32you've got to follow my rules, yeah?
14:35This cork is going to be floating in the bog.
14:38So every time you go in for a little tinkle,
14:41you've got to aim for it.
14:43Cos I'm fed up with having wet feet.
14:46What about Dad? He does it, too.
14:48Oi, oi, Mr Cheeky.
14:50You can... Your turn to teach, Dad.
14:53Oi, mind your neck, Emma.
14:56Hey, you all right?
14:59Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.
15:02Little blue-eyed boy.
15:04But I wouldn't melt, all right? Is that who you are?
15:10Or is it the other Tommy?
15:13The nasty little thug
15:16who keeps coming back for more.
15:19Or is it the other Tommy?
15:22The nasty little thug
15:25who punched his mum.
15:28And then, what, you grasped her up?
15:31Why? Because she hit you back?
15:35Who's the real Tommy, Mooney?
15:40We split up in January.
15:42Break-ups are always hardest on the kids, aren't they?
15:45I thought we were getting through it.
15:47And this was Mr Mitchell? He's the boy's father?
15:50No.
15:51So that is...?
15:53Alfie Moon.
15:55He's the twins' dad. He's Tommy's stepdad.
15:57And Tommy's father is...?
15:59Michael Moon.
16:00Another Moon?
16:01Yeah. Alfie's cousin. He's dead.
16:03Sorry, you said you weren't judging jury,
16:05but I feel like I'm being burnt at the stake here.
16:08Just establishing some background, not trying to embarrass you.
16:11I've got a past, all right?
16:13Who hasn't?
16:14I'm on marriage number three.
16:16Not at the same time, I hasten to add.
16:19I'm a brilliant mum, all right? The best.
16:22No-one fights harder for their kids than me.
16:25I wish I had me as a mum.
16:27And I know what it's like for your parents to bail on you,
16:30so that's why I'd never, ever, yeah, do it to my own boys.
16:34Do you have thoughts on why Tommy would make this accusation?
16:38He's just an angry teenage boy who hero-worships my ex, Phil,
16:42the local hard nut.
16:44He runs the boxing gym.
16:46Was Tommy exposed to violence in that relationship?
16:49Not between me and Phil.
16:51But there was violence?
16:52No.
16:56We need to speak with Tommy.
16:59Can't you give him a few days, just let him calm down a bit?
17:02Tonight.
17:03Where is he right now?
17:06She hurt me. I could have died.
17:09You punched your mum and grasped her up.
17:11That's so evil.
17:15Where's my kind, funny boy gone?
17:18I ain't your boy. You ain't my dad.
17:20Phil is.
17:21Well, I wish he was.
17:24When him and mum were together, people respected me at school.
17:27People looked up to him, so they looked up to me.
17:29You think you get respect by hanging around in someone's shadow?
17:32Tommy, you earn respect.
17:33How do you know?
17:34Because I'm a better man than Phil and a better dad.
17:36How?
17:38Tommy, you know...
17:41I... I thought we were best mates.
17:45Always having a laugh.
17:48Me trying to give you everything that I never had as a kid.
17:50Yeah, I know.
17:53It's a bit desperate.
17:55I don't want a sad-o 60-year-old mate.
17:59Don't you talk to me like that.
18:01I miss Phil.
18:02He took us to Disneyland on holiday, not some poxy caravan.
18:05And I've got my own room in his house.
18:07OK.
18:08Well, why don't you just run over to Daddy Phil, eh?
18:12Have your pick of the bedrooms in his big, empty house,
18:15and then you ask yourself this.
18:16Where's his family gone, eh?
18:18Oh, they've run to the hills cos he's a bully and a cheat.
18:21Yeah, well...
18:23He'll still have more time for me than your mum ever do.
18:25That don't matter now, Tommy.
18:27Cos social service would probably take you,
18:29stick you in a foster home the other side of London.
18:31Yeah, well, I'll just say I'm living at Phil's.
18:33Oh, shut up.
18:34Stupid.
18:35You don't get it, do you? Huh?
18:37Your phone call started a chain of events that we have no control over.
18:42And you and your brothers will get taken into care,
18:45separated from me, your mum and each other.
18:51You haven't really thought this through, have you, Tommy?
19:03I'm sorry.
19:04It was so unexpected.
19:06I guess it was the pneumonia Debbie had a while back.
19:09I didn't spot any signs earlier.
19:11Earlier? What were you doing here? What time?
19:14About nine-ish.
19:16I'm sorry I was so grumpy with you earlier about not signing in.
19:19Don't seem important now.
19:21I'm just glad I got to say goodbye.
19:23Is Debbie still in her room?
19:25Yeah, I'd say go on in and see her,
19:27but the police have declared it a potential crime scene.
19:30Why?
19:31Well, don't worry. It's standard procedure.
19:33Oh, officer, this is Mr Colwell, Debbie's husband.
19:37Hello, I'm DC Webster.
19:39Once we've finished speaking with Nurse Jasmine,
19:41may we have a moment of your time?
19:53So, you've managed bars before, then?
19:55Yeah, yeah. I'm all about hospitality.
19:58Oh, she is. Just ask her last employer.
20:00Juliette Dubois, weren't it?
20:02You know who you've hired, don't you?
20:05Jack Brannan's daughter ain't going to be a crook.
20:08No, she ain't just a crook. She's a drug dealer.
20:11One of Paris's finest until she got run out of town
20:13dragging her own cousin down with her.
20:15Oh, don't bring me into this.
20:17She's lying. I left Paris because I was bored.
20:20She's going to have your bar crawling in drug dealers in no time.
20:25I hate drug dealers.
20:27There's only one thing I hate more than drug dealers.
20:29Grasses.
20:31She shafted me, Phil.
20:33Yeah, I know.
20:34She's shown the drive that the bar's been crying out for.
20:40Now, you're on probation.
20:43Don't let me down.
20:50You know what the kids are like during the school holidays,
20:52staying out late.
20:54If Tommy's a no-show,
20:56we have to report that you don't know where your son is at
20:5810.25 at night.
21:00I'm sure you understand the ramifications of that.
21:02Just wait a little bit longer, please.
21:04Oh, yeah. Yes.
21:06Sorry we're late. We, um... Oh, we got stuck on the tube.
21:10Tommy, how are you?
21:12OK.
21:13Hello, Tommy. I'm Leslie Drinkwater from Child Services.
21:16This is DC and Wado.
21:18We'd like to chat about what you told our colleague on the phone.
21:21It's all right. They're on our side.
21:24Right, can we just get on with this, yeah?
21:26Miss Slater, we do need an adult present to support Tommy,
21:28but it can't be you.
21:30Oh, that's all right, Kat. I've got this.
21:32It's all right. It's all good. Come on.
21:34Thanks.
21:38Tommy, do you want to come sit down?
21:44Sorry to keep you.
21:46This is DC Leland. Hi.
21:50Just a few questions. Nothing to worry about.
21:53I'm not worried.
21:55I'm heartbroken. I'm grief-stricken.
21:57I'm not worried.
21:59It's been a hard day.
22:01Mr Colwell, please could you confirm
22:04you're Mrs Debbie Colwell's next of kin?
22:07Yes, I am.
22:09We have a good understanding of Debbie's stroke that brought her here,
22:12but any recent medical complications of note?
22:16Yes. Pneumonia.
22:18Yeah. She was unwell some time ago.
22:21Thank you. We'll inform the coroner.
22:23Make sure they incorporate that into the post-mortem.
22:26But we know all about Debbie's condition.
22:28Why do you need...?
22:30Why can't you just leave her alone?
22:32She's been in limbo for years.
22:35She deserves dignity at long last.
22:38I'm sorry. It's routine procedure.
22:41I'd like to take him home now.
22:44OK. It's fine. Thank you.
22:46Come on.
22:57Well, Tommy's explained he was upset with you
23:00because you didn't buy him the trainers he wanted,
23:02so he called us out of spite.
23:04He's retracted his accusation.
23:06Thank God.
23:08Sorry, Mum.
23:10OK. Lovely. Well, er, that's that, then, yeah?
23:13We won't be closing the file. Not yet.
23:15Why not?
23:17Ordinarily, during term time, we'd hand the report over to the school,
23:20but as Tommy's just broken up for summer,
23:22we'd like to keep the file open, as a precaution.
23:24A precaution?
23:26Well, sure, there won't be anything to worry about.
23:28Eh, Tommy?
23:30We'll support you as a family at all stages of the investigation.
23:33Thanks for the tea.
23:35Bye. Bye. Bye.
23:37Thank you. Take care. Bye-bye.
23:41What does that mean?
23:43Are we in the clear or what?
23:45I'm not going to call him again if that's what you're worried about.
23:48Tommy, I love you!
23:51HE SIGHS
23:53If he still hates me, why did he retract his statement?
23:56Kat, Kat, Kat, despite what it looks like, you know, he still loves us.
24:00He doesn't want to lose his family, and I promise you, he will get through this.
24:04I don't think so.
24:06There is no coming back from this.
24:15Right, let's head to bed.
24:19You're going to need your sleep.
24:21OK, I'm just going to get some water. Do you want some?
24:24No. I'll see you upstairs.
24:35What's all this?
24:37Oh!
24:39Yeah, sorry, sweetheart.
24:42This seems a bit silly now.
24:51You're going to put the house on the market?
24:53Yeah, I was.
24:55You've done so much for me, you know,
24:57and I know how much you've been struggling with all the debts.
25:00I haven't... Well, there you go again,
25:02protecting me at your own expense.
25:05Look, I know you paid the care home fees this time round,
25:08but there were always going to be others.
25:10And we owed Debbie so much money for the IVF.
25:13And I want you to be excited about the baby.
25:15And that can't happen if you're always worried about money.
25:18You love this place.
25:20I love you more.
25:23I guess we...
25:25we don't have to sell now.
25:31What's funny?
25:33What's funny?
25:37Darling, why are you laughing?
25:43Look...
25:45Look...
25:49Debbie died tonight.
25:51You were going to put the house on the market tomorrow.
25:57Doesn't seem fair, does it?
25:59It's not fair at all.
26:02She's dead.
26:04Debbie's dead.
26:06Oh, please.
26:08You looked after her to the very end.
26:10She's at peace now.
