00:26I need that easy.
00:27Is he gonna be OK, darling?
00:29I told him everything, Laini, the law.
00:57He wasn't there.
00:58We've gone.
00:59And coming back.
01:00Well, don't forget.
01:01We're still here.
01:02Lauren's in quite a bit of pain.
01:03She's got punctured lungs, broken ribs, but she's gonna be okay.
01:23There's two others in critical condition, though.
01:25How did this happen?
01:26How did she even get in there?
01:27You saw how many people there was.
01:29You couldn't even see your hand in front of your feet.
01:30OK, let's just leave the hows and whys for now, shall we?
01:33And focus on staying in lockdown, all right?
01:36This is all my fault. Me and Ames, we had this.
01:39We had this silly row, man.
01:41She went in there to spite me.
01:42So she's in here because of you.
01:44Jack, don't!
01:45I'm sorry.
01:45Sorry?
01:46Sorry ain't going to get my baby out of the hospital bed, is it?
01:50Sorry ain't good enough.
01:51It's my fault. I pulled the fire alarm.
01:55I thought it was the right thing.
01:57They panicked.
01:58I didn't know what else to do, Dad.
02:08Give some of these buns out, will you, Mark?
02:10Sugar's good for shock.
02:11Yeah, no problem.
02:12I'll stick around, yeah?
02:13Oh, lovely, thanks.
02:15Sub the sugar.
02:16I could do with some vodka.
02:16I'm shaking myself.
02:18Can I get some fresh air?
02:19Is that all right?
02:20Yeah, of course you can.
02:21Go on, babe.
02:24What a day.
02:25You're here late, Kav.
02:27Hang on, have I missed a chapter?
02:29There's been a crush over at Peggy's.
02:31It's bad and all.
02:32Oh, well, could have been worse.
02:33Could have been me.
02:34Those are for the victims.
02:36Well, I've been out a lot job searching all day,
02:38so I'm technically a victim of the economic climate.
02:41Well, we could do with an extra pair of pants
02:43if you fancy some volunteer work.
02:45No can do, sorry.
02:46I'm not good with blood, especially other people's.
02:48All their pain.
02:50Weak stomach and a bad bedside manner.
02:52That's why I never fancied nursing.
02:53Or doctors, if I'm honest.
02:56Oh.
02:59Anyone lost a phone?
03:00I'm taking return fee offers.
03:01That's mine.
03:03All right, calm down.
03:04I was going to nick that brick.
03:06Since when have you had two phones?
03:09Oh, two phone tailor, is it?
03:11What, are you a secret shotter now?
03:12No.
03:14It's just a pay as you go.
03:17You know, cheaper to ring my mom.
03:19I make them tea.
03:21Pay as you go?
03:22What is it?
03:23A dozen a seat.
03:29Oh, look, why don't you go and bother someone else, all right?
03:31We're busy here.
03:40Well, it's like one of those stories you hear about,
03:41you know, where a mum lifts a car off of a baby to save them.
03:44It's, yeah, I just knew I had to get you all out of it.
03:47Well, you did well, Ian, but you didn't exactly, um,
03:50carry us on your back, did you?
03:52Yeah, but I shielded you all.
03:54I mean, look, I am going to have to go and see a doctor.
03:56I mean, he is crushed tender.
03:59I still can't believe it.
04:01It just kept getting busier and busier.
04:06It's Peter.
04:07Uh, apparently Amy's in a bad way.
04:13But Laura's going to be OK.
04:15So that's something.
04:17Seems like she doesn't remember much.
04:19Oh, well, that's good news.
04:21Well, I'm just glad we're all OK.
04:29They're all fine.
04:31Look, you can get your brother's number from Angela
04:33if you want.
04:35But I think we should all look forward, not back.
04:41Yeah.
04:44I've got enough family here to worry about, right?
04:46Mm.
04:47Mm.
04:49Mm.
04:51Right.
04:52OK.
05:04Well, any more news on Lauren?
05:07Yeah, Peter's in with Annel.
05:09She's in pain, but she's OK.
05:12Can'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.
05:23What 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.
05:36As much as you might hate me right now, I hate myself more.
05:40Look, this is on me, too, all right, on her, Dad?
05:44Maybe this is life's way of getting back at me
05:46for all the things I've done, eh?
05:49She always ends up in here, doesn't she?
05:54And now I'm thinking, is this the time
05:56that she don't come home with me?
05:58Mr. Branning, I have news on your daughter.
06:10Olly, what are you doing?
06:12I fixed it.
06:14Put it down.
06:16You should be in bed.
06:19You can't break things that aren't yours.
06:21Dad, what's going on?
06:23This is what's going on.
06:24What's happening?
06:26He's ruining Mum's tape.
06:28He should be in bed.
06:30Oh.
06:32Olly.
06:33Come on, it's OK.
06:35Look, I know you didn't mean it, and I know you are struggling,
06:38but do not take it out on the family that are here for you.
06:51Amy suffered a cardiac arrest due to lack of oxygen,
06:54as well as a fractured pelvis.
06:57She's stable, but we're having to keep her asleep
07:00so that she can have a chance to recover.
07:02Can we see her?
07:04She clearly has a strong, loving family.
07:07She's going to need you all for her recovery.
07:10Hey, you heard her.
07:13We're all in this together, yeah?
07:15It's a family.
07:23Are you all right?
07:26I can't do this.
07:29How are you doing?
07:31Don't know what I'm doing at the minute.
07:34Take it the family reunion didn't go too well.
07:40I drove him away.
07:42Then I upset Olly, Elaine.
07:45And now I'm here.
07:47I don't know what I'm doing.
07:49I don't know what I'm doing.
07:51I don't know what I'm doing.
07:53I don't know what I'm doing.
07:55Then I upset Olly, Elaine.
07:58Gina.
08:00Yes, I...
08:02There'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.
08:14I am the one 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 Olly and Elaine and Gina.
08:34Suppose you ain't doing too bad at making up with me.
08:40Think you can do the same with your brothers?
08:45You went to find your mum, but you were too late.
08:49Your brothers turned up at your doorstep.
08:53Don't let them leave the country in regret, Dad.
08:56Yours.
08:58Oh, dears.
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.
09:23How are you doing?
09:25Yeah, I'm all right. Just hope Amy and Lauren are all right as well.
09:29Yeah, me too.
09:32Are you feeling about the trial next week?
09:36I don't know.
09:38I just want whoever did this to pay.
09:43That's all I want.
09:45Yeah. Dean, right.
09:48You hope he goes down.
09:50I just want justice.
09:52For my brother, for all of us.
09:55We all do.
09:57He got away with what he did to Linda, but he won't get away with this.
10:05What if it wasn't him, Gav?
10:08What?
10:10What if...
10:12What if someone else killed Keanu?
10:15I mean...
10:17It's square, it is. It's full of liars.
10:20A lot of people that didn't like him were waiting for somebody else.
10:28How long have you known Sharon?
10:30No, donkey she is.
10:33Right, 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.
10:49Sharon was with Phil.
10:51Yeah, she's been around bad 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, Kathy.
11:03You 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.
11:43Well...
11:48..Jack'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.
12:10But...
12:13..it was my fault.
12:17Not only Chelsea.
12:19I was just putting a lot of pressure on her, you know,
12:23for taking the manager's job and then we had words
12:27and I just left her in the middle of it.
12:30I left them all.
12:31Hi. How's Jack doing?
12:33Thought I'd check in.
12:35As expected.
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.
12:57Coburner.
12:59It's...it's Kwame.
13:03I got your number off Evangeline
13:05and I just...
13:09I'm sorry.
13:13I've lost a lot and...
13:16..I just don't want to lose my brothers, so...
13:22..call me back.
13:25And we can sort all this, yeah?
13:36SIREN BLARES
13:57You OK?
13:59Yeah.
14:01Look, if you want to talk to somebody, I can call someone.
14:06Is there anything you want to tell me, Chelsea?
14:11Erm...
14:14Well, I just...
14:16I saw it getting...
14:18..packed in there.
14:20But Penny and I are...
14:22We were in a bit of competition.
14:26And it was her big night, so...
14:28Well, we had a row and I...
14:31I just left her to it.
14:33And now, look...
14:36Penny, Penny Branning, she's the manager at a club, right?
14:40Yeah.
14:42Don't worry. I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of what happened.
14:47We may need to talk to you again.
14:49Formally.
14:51OK?
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. Sorry, love.
15:05Do you know what is going on in here?
15:07Hey, here she is. Hey, look, it's old Hopalong Cassidy.
15:10See what I did there? OK, welcome home, sweetheart.
15:12You all right? There's been an accident over the club.
15:14Yeah, I can see that. The walking wound and the sirens were a dead giveaway.
15:17You ain't been in it, have you?
15:19Of course she hasn't. She was on the beach with her sister.
15:21She went over like Bambi on ice.
15:23Vodka and tonics and long walks don't mix.
15:25Right, Nan's got the twins. Who put the Chuckle Brothers on the phones in here?
15:29You go and do your job. There's a queue outside.
15:31You're as useful as a condom machine in the Vatican in here.
15:34That's you told, innit, 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, you know what I'm talking about?
15:50I need you like a hole in the head.
15:52Go on, holiday's over. Yeah, I see that.
15:54Oh, listen, seriously, welcome back.
15:57I don't 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 could 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 you're looking for an extra hand, so...
16:23How about trial?
16:25So you're after a job and you've thought a tragedy in the square is 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. It'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.
16:42All right, you go out there and tell him to sit tight,
16:44and then come back in here and I'll show you the ropes.
16:47If you're lucky.
16:49I am going to have to lock up soon.
16:51Bernie's already clocked off and I am trying my best.
16:55Oh, sorry, mate.
16:57Here you are.
16:58Is this yours?
16:59That's my taxi.
17:01Yeah, sorry. Here you go.
17:03That's my taxi. You can't touch my taxi.
17:06No, no, look, I wasn't looking at it or nothing.
17:09No, it's broken. You've broken my taxi.
17:12No, no, no, it's fine. Look.
17:14No, it's broken. It's scratched.
17:17You can't touch my taxi. That's my taxi.
17:20My lovely taxi.
17:21Look, is there anyone I can call for you or...?
17:24He touched my taxi. Now it's broken. It's scratched.
17:28No, it's not, mate. Look. Here, have a look at that.
17:31Whoa, all right, fine. Calm down, calm down.
17:33He touched my taxi. I need to tell Kwame.
17:37It's broken. I need to tell him.
17:40I need to tell Kwame. It's broken.
17:42I need to tell him.
17:44Kwame! Queen Victoria Park!
17:46E20! Walford!
17:56Look, it's getting late.
17:58Well, it's early now.
18:01Why don't you get yourself out and get some sleep?
18:05I can't help it.
18:08I appreciate you being here.
18:10You know, not with the divorce and all that.
18:13But you don't have to stay.
18:15I'm not going anywhere either.

18:49Marlene?
18:51What's happening?
18:52Yeah, be ten minutes, love.
18:54Oh, then get the bus!
18:57You all right?
18:58Sorry.
18:59Tell 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 an umbrella for 50 too.
19:10Even the bloody headbandage 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.
19:40He kept calling for Kwame and then gave the pub's address.
19:44I'm Kwame.
19:45He's my little brother.
19:49It's my taxi.
19:51He touched my taxi.
19:53It's broken.
19:58It's OK, Kojo.
19:59I'm here now.
20:03It's my bloody taxi.
20:05The sides, they're scratch.
20:10It looks fine, son.
20:14If anything's broken, we can fix it.
20:16Do you want it?
20:28Can you give us a minute?
20:29Yeah, yeah, of course.
20:32It's my taxi.
20:34He shouldn't touch my taxi.
20:45Bernie?
20:46You sure?
20:4799%.
20:49She was asking stuff about you and Ian.
20:52She's emotional, wasn't she?
20:53I mean, she's bubbling over.
20:55I feel like I'm in a nightmare.
20:57You know, I thought it might be Karen.
20:59Or Shirley, but Bernie.
21:02Well, she can't know anything, can she?
21:03No, I don't think so.
21:05But it'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.
21:19It'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.
21:42He'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.
22:04Sometimes I can't do anything, too.
22:07It's hard.
22:13You know...
22:15If I could change anything,
22:17you know, if I could change what happened,
22:20I would.
22:28So you like black Texas, then?
22:30I like cars.
22:32This is new, for London.
22:35I like cars.
22:37I like cars.
22:39I like cars.
22:41I like cars.
22:43For London.
22:49You know, when I stopped boxing
22:52and I hung up my gloves,
22:54I thought, you know, I'd have a go at the knowledge,
22:57become a black taxi driver.
22:59But, er...
23:01It was too hard.
23:03I tried.
23:04I really tried.
23:06Maybe if I'd been a better boxer,
23:09I 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,
23:26originally.
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.
23:41Well, I didn't know that.
23:43And the knowledge?
23:44You 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.
23:59Well, I don't know.
24:00For you,
24:01I 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.
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,
24:24Joe, 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
24:39where we were boys.
24:41Azuma Nelson?
24:42No.
24:43He was a boxer, too.
24:45He was a great fighter.
24:46Better than me.
24:48Yeah, he lost twice when he was in his prime.
24:51To Salvador Sanchez and Pernil Whittaker.
24:54Yeah.
24:55Two of the best boxers ever.
25:00You lost eight times to
25:02not-so-good boxers.
25:05All right, easy.
25:08Yeah, you're right.
25:12Kojo.
25:14My friend owns a car lot.
25:16And one of my best friends has a garage.
25:20I could give him a call and
25:23if you're up for it,
25:24we can go visit.
25:28All right.
25:29Well, obviously it's a bit late now, but, er...
25:33I'll call him and we'll go tomorrow.
25:35All right.
25:38Kwame.
25:41You did win Twitter eight times, though.
25:44And you drew once.
25:46So that's still good.
25:59You were right.
26:05I shouldn't have been such a cow to you.
26:08I was just so determined to, like,
26:12prove myself.
26:13To show you up.
26:16Now, look.
26:17Look what I've done.
26:19Penny, it's not your fault.
26:21It is.
26:23I just...
26:24I don't know how it happened.
26:27But it happened on my watch.
26:30You should have been in charge.
26:31Penny.
26:32No.
26:34It's true.
26:35Dad was right.
26:36Everything I do just ends in tears.
26:39Doesn't it?
26:41It's just me.
26:42No, look.
26:43Penny.
26:44Penny Branning.
26:46I'm DS Wills from Walford Police Station.
26:48After an examination of the office laptop,
26:50we have evidence to prove that extra tickets
26:52were illegally issued via your staff login.
26:55What? I didn't issue any extra...
