00:26Amy, Daddy's here.
00:28You're going to be OK, darling.
00:50George.
00:53I told them everything, Laini.
00:56The lot.
00:58They've gone.
01:02They ain't coming back.
01:05Well, don't forget...
01:07..we're still here.
01:17Lauren's in quite a bit of pain.
01:19She's got punctured lungs, broken ribs, but she's going to be OK.
01:23There's two others in critical condition, though.
01:25How did this happen? How did she even get in there?
01:27You saw how many people there was.
01:29You couldn't even see a hand in front of your face.
01:31OK, let's just leave the hows and whys for now, shall we,
01:34and focus Laini and Lauren, all right?
01:36This is all my fault.
01:38Me and Ames, we had this silly row, man.
01:41She went in there to spite me.
01:43I'm sorry she's in here because of you. Jack, don't!
01:45Sorry?
01:47Sorry ain't going to get my baby out of hospital bed, is it?
01:50Sorry ain't good enough! It's my fault.
01:53I pulled the fire alarm.
01:55I thought it was the right thing.
01:57They panicked. I didn't know what else to do, Dad.
02:09Give some of these buns out, will you, Mark? Sugar's good for shock.
02:12I'll stick around, yeah? Oh, lovely, thanks.
02:14I've sobbed the sugar. I could do with some vodka.
02:16I'm shaking myself.
02:18Can I get some fresh air? Is that all right?
02:20Yeah, of course you can. Go on, babe.
02:23What 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. It's bad and all.
02:32Oh, well, could have been worse. Could have been me.
02:34Those are for the victims.
02:36Well, I've been out a lot job-searching all day,
02:38so I am 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. I'm muggered with blood.
02:47Especially other people's. All their pain.
02:49Weak stomach and a bad bedside manner.
02:51That's why I never fancied nursing.
02:53Or doctors, if I'm honest.
02:58Anyone lost a phone? I'm taking return fee offers.
03:01That's mine.
03:03All right, calm down.
03:05I was going to nick that brick.
03:07When have you had two phones?
03:09Oh, two-phone tailor, is it?
03:11What, are you a secret shotter now?
03:13No. It's just a...
03:15I have a pay-as-you-go.
03:17You know, cheaper. To ring my mum.
03:19I make them teas, you know.
03:21Pay-as-you-go? What is it, 2006?
03:29Oh, look, why don't you go and bother someone else, all right?
03:32We're busy here.
03:39Well, it's like one of those stories you hear about,
03:41you know, where a mum lifts a car off her baby to save a miss.
03:45Yeah, 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, I mean.
03:54Look, I am going to have to go and see a doctor.
03:56I mean, it is crushed tender.
03:59I still can't believe it.
04:01It just kept getting busier and busier.
04:05It's Peter.
04:08Uh, 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.
04:20Oh, well, that's good news.
04:22Well, I'm just glad we're all OK.
04:29They're all fine.
04:31Look, you can get your brother's number from Angela if you want.
04:35But I think we should all look forward, not back.
04:41Yeah.
04:43I've got enough family here to worry about, right?
04:46Mm.
04:51Right.
04:52OK.
04:54Well, any more news on Lauren?
04:57Yeah, Peter's in with her now.
04:59She's in pain, but she's OK.
05:03You can't even look at me, can you?
05:05Don't you think I feel bad enough?
05:07Oh, you go and get yourself a drink or something.
05:09I'm sorry, all right?
05:11I don't know why there were so many people.
05:13I panicked.
05:15I'm sorry.
05:17I'm sorry.
05:19I'm sorry.
05:21I don't know why there were so many people.
05:23I panicked. What else could I do?
05:25You could have not pulled the alarm and made things worse.
05:27I'm sorry, Dad!
05:29I don't know what else I can say, but sorry.
05:32I sold the right amount of tickets.
05:34I don't know how it happened.
05:37And as much as you might hate me right now,
05:39I hate myself more.
05:44Look, this is on me too, all right?
05:46I know, Dad.
05:48Maybe this is life's way of getting back at me
05:50for all the things I've done, eh?
05:53She always ends up in here, doesn't she?
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.
06:20You 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?
06:30He's ruining Mum's tape.
06:32He 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.
06:55Amy suffered a cardiac arrest due to lack of oxygen,
06:58as well as a fractured pelvis.
07:01She's stable, but we're having to keep her asleep
07:04so that she can have a chance to recover.
07:08Can we see her?
07:10She clearly has a strong, loving family.
07:12She's going to need you all for her recovery.
07:15Hey, you heard her.
07:18We're all in this together, yeah?
07:20It's a family.
07:28Are you all right?
07:31I can't do this.
07:43How are you doing?
07:45Don'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.
08:01Yes, 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.
08:13And the ones you love.
08:16It's what I do best.
08:20I suppose we have more in common than we think.
08:25Look, you'll make it up with Ollie and Elaine and Gina.
08:33I suppose you ain't doing too bad at making up with me.
08:37Think you can do the same with your brothers?
08:42You went to find your mum, but you were too late.
08:46But your brothers turned up at your doorstep.
08:50Don't let them leave the country with regret, Dad.
08:53Yours.
08:55Or theirs.
09:07It looks like he's calming down a bit.
09:09Go on, why don't you get off? I'll stick around.
09:11Close up.
09:12No, no, don't be silly. Go on.
09:20How are you doing?
09:22Yeah, I'm all right. Just hope Amy and Lauren are all right as well.
09:26Yeah, me too.
09:30Are you feeling about the trial next week?
09:33I don't know.
09:36I just want whoever did this to pay.
09:40That's all I want.
09:42Yeah. Dean, right.
09:45You hope he goes down.
09:47I just want justice.
09:49For my brother, for all of us.
09:52We all do.
09:54He got away with what he did to Linda, but he won't get away with this.
09:58What if it wasn't him, Gav?
10:01What?
10:03What if...
10:05What if someone else killed Keanu?
10:08I mean...
10:10It's square, it's full of liars.
10:13A lot of people that didn't like him were...
10:16What if it was somebody else?
10:22I don't know.
10:24What if it was somebody else?
10:29How long have you known Sharon?
10:31No, donkey she is.
10:33Right, but you haven't always got on, yeah?
10:36I mean, she did try and kill Ian.
10:38No. No, no, she didn't.
10:42OK.
10:44OK, 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.
10:57Maybe she tried to kill Ian because of Denny Dine,
11:00and maybe she killed Keanu because of the kidnapping.
11:03Come on, Gaffey.
11:04You can't tell me that a part of you don't think it's true.
11:07Listen, Max started that rumour.
11:09He's a liar.
11:11And 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?
11:44Well...
11:49Jack's calmed down a bit now that he's seen her.
11:56Look, darling, he's scared and he's angry,
12:02but deep down he knows it's not yours and Penny's fault, OK?
12:09Penny's getting all the abuse.
12:13But...
12:16it was my fault.
12:19Not only Chelsea.
12:21I was just putting a lot of pressure on her, you know,
12:25for taking the manager's job, and then we had words,
12:29and I just left her in the middle of it.
12:32I left them all.
12:34Hi. How's Jack doing? Thought I'd check in.
12:38As expected, I suppose.
12:41Chelsea is a bit shaken up.
12:44She was working the bar.
12:46It's just like she left before it happened.
12:58Koberner.
13:00It's...
13:02It's Kwame.
13:05I got your number off Abangela and I just...
13:11I'm sorry.
13:14I've lost a lot and...
13:17I just don't want to lose my brothers, so...
13:23Call me back.
13:26And we can sort all this, yeah?
13:44Hi.
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?
14:11Erm...
14:14Well, I just...
14:16I saw it getting packed in there.
14:20But Penny and I, we 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...
14:35Now, Penny, Penny Branning, she's the manager at a club, right?
14:39Yeah.
14:41Don't worry. I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of what happened.
14:46We may need to talk to you again.
14:48Formally.
14:50OK?
14:57Is he not on your road?
14:59Hey, just tell her she's in an electric car.
15:01She ain't going to hear it anyway.
15:03He'll be there in five. Sorry, love.
15:05What the hell 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.
15:15The walking wound and the sirens were a dead giveaway.
15:17You ain't been in it, have you?
15:19No, 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.
15:26Who put the Chuckle Brothers on the phones in here?
15:28Yeah, shall I...?
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.
15:33Ooh!
15:35That'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 going to put the sponge bath on hold till you feel better,
15:47cos we do not want the Mrs Moon muscle memory kicking in,
15:49you know what I'm talking about?
15:51I need you like a hole in the head.
15:53Go on, holiday's over. Yeah, I see that.
15:55Oh, listen, seriously, welcome back.
15:57I don't know Tommy's going to 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 way.
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...
16:23how about trial?
16:25So you're after a job and you've thought a tragedy in the square
16:28and it's a time for you to audition.
16:30Jog on, will you? Kat, we might need some crowd control out there
16:33while I jog off. It's getting a bit tetchy.
16:35You know what they say, sweetheart?
16:37Many hands and feet make light work.
16:39I'll leave it with you. I'll see you at home. Bye.
16:41Yeah.
16:43All right, you go out there and tell him to sit tight
16:45and then come back in here and I'll show you the ropes.
16:48If you're lucky.
16:54I am going to have to lock up soon.
16:56Bernie's already clocked off and I am trying my best.
17:00Oh, sorry, mate.
17:02Here you are. Is this yours?
17:04That's my taxi.
17:06Yeah, sorry, here you go.
17:08That's my taxi. You can't touch my taxi.
17:11No, 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.
17:22You can't touch my taxi. That's my taxi.
17:25Look, is there anyone I can call for you or...?
17:28He touched my taxi. Now it's broken.
17:31It's scratched.
17:32No, it's not, mate. Look. Here, have a look at that.
17:35Whoa, all right, calm down, calm down.
17:37He touched my taxi.
17:39I need to tell Kwame. It's broken.
17:42I need to tell him.
17:44Kwame!
17:47E20, Walford!
17:56Look, it's getting late.
17:58Well, it's early now.
18:02Why don't you get yourself home and get some sleep?
18:05I ain't going nowhere.
18:08I appreciate you being here.
18:10I'm up with the divorce and all that.
18:13But you don't have to stay.
18:15I'm not going anywhere either.
18:25PHONE BEEPS
18:44PHONE 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 an amber off a 50 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 you 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?
19:37Mate, 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.
19:46He'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 load of taxi.
20:05The sides.
20:07They're scratch.
20:10Yeah, it looks fine, son.
20:14If anything's broken, we can fix it.
20:16Join in.
20:22Do you give us a minute?
20:24Yeah, yeah, of course.
20:27It's my taxi.
20:29He shouldn't touch my taxi.
20:41Bernie? You sure?
20:4399%.
20:45She was asking stuff about you.
20:47She's emotional, wasn't she? I mean, she's bubbling over.
20:50I feel like I'm in a nightmare.
20:52Now, I thought it might be Karen.
20:54Or Shirley, but Bernie?
20:56Well, she can't know anything, can she?
20:58No, I don't think so.
21:00But it's her brother, Sharon.
21:02We can't underestimate her.
21:04Linda needs to know.
21:06And we need concrete evidence.
21:10Kojo, it's OK. It's just the police doing their job.
21:14Everything's OK.
21:20Did you get lost on the way back to the hotel?
21:23Is that it?
21:28Do you want to go somewhere quieter?
21:31Yeah.
21:34Do you want to go somewhere quieter?
21:38Kojo, I'm trying to ring you.
21:40I'm sure he's going to pick up soon.
21:42He won't. He's angry.
21:45Yeah, I know.
21:47But he's angry at me, not at you.
21:50He's every right to be.
21:52I'm sorry.
21:56Us meeting like this, you know.
21:59I don't really know how to explain it.
22:01You saw Dad die.
22:03You couldn't do anything.
22:06Sometimes I can't do anything, too.
22:09It's hard.
22:14You know...
22:20..if I could change anything,
22:23you know, if I could change what happened,
22:26I would.
22:34So you like black taxis, then?
22:37I like cars. This is new.
22:40For London.
22:46You know, when I stopped boxing,
22:49and I hung up my gloves,
22:52I thought, you know, I had a bad day.
22:55I thought, you know, I'd have a go at the knowledge,
22:58become a black taxi driver.
23:00But, er...
23:02..it was too hard.
23:04I tried. I really tried.
23:07Maybe if I'd have 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,
23:19taxi cabs, hackney carriages,
23:21because they'd accommodate bowler hats,
23:24for 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,
23:4525,000 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,
24:07I probably wouldn't have had to get punched in the head for a living.
24:12That man, he touched my taxi.
24:16I got angry.
24:18I didn't mean to.
24:20Yeah, I know. I know.
24:22Actually, earlier, you know, 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.
24:36Corbina.
24:38He had a poster where we were boys.
24:41Ossima Nelson?
24:43Oh, he was a boxer too.
24:45He was a great fighter.
24:47Better than me.
24:49Yeah, he lost twice when he was in his prime.
24:52To Salvador Sanchez and Pernil Whittaker.
24:55Yeah.
24:56Two of the best boxers ever.
25:01You lost eight times to...
25:03not-so-good boxers.
25:05LAUGHTER
25:07All right, easy.
25:09Yeah, 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, we can go visit.
25:28All right. Well, 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 all right?
26:05I shouldn't have been such a cow to you.
26:08I was just so determined to, like, prove myself.
26:13To show you up.
26:16Now, look. Look 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.
26:30You should have been in charge.
26:32Penny.
26:33No. It's true.
26:35Dad was right. Everything I do just ends in tears, doesn't it?
26:41It's just me.
26:43Look, Penny.
26:45Penny Branning. I'm DS Wills from Walford Police Station.
26:49Off an examination of the office laptop,
26:51we have evidence to prove that extra tickets were illegally issued via your staff login.
26:55What? I didn't issue any...
