00:00🎵
00:30Oh, blimey. Looks like you spent the night in a cell after all.
00:41Snackered. Couldn't get much sleep.
00:45Yeah, well a bit of petit-déjeuner, courtesy of Petey Boy, will sort you right out.
00:49No, I can't. I've got to take Lou to school.
00:53Have I missed something?
00:57It's nothing.
00:59Yesterday, you were worried sick about Lauren being banged up.
01:02What, and now you can hardly look at her?
01:03Leave it. Leave it.
01:05Fine.
01:06I think, er, Stacey's about to call him my name.
01:09You too. Have fun.
01:20Peter.
01:21Louie, you ready for school, mate?
01:34Overslapped?
01:35I had the police round at the crack of dawn, reading me the right act over my ear.
01:39Nurse Jasmine interaction.
01:40You were facing Tom alone, I hear.
01:42It was close.
01:43Look, I'd rather forget about it. Just focus on Sonia.
01:47Really?
01:48Just that I've had Son's solicitor on the phone.
01:50He'll be trying to get hold of you all morning.
01:51What's happened? Is Sonia all right?
01:52Well, thanks to your antics, I've had to adjourn the trial for today.
01:55The judge has fumed me, so no, I doubt Sonia is all right.
01:57Well, I was only trying to help Sonia.
01:58Seriously? By harassing a key witness?
02:02And what exactly have you been doing to help Sonia?
02:04Well, not making her look guilty for a start, and I don't know, maybe turning up to the court.
02:08Look, the only thing you've cared about recently is your latest ex-wife and saving that shoddy market.
02:13Well, you're playing fickle heroics.
02:15I'll be out on the streets doing whatever I can, and I won't be vilified by the likes of you for it.
02:25Well, I just thought mum and baby could do with some cheering up.
02:30How's your support meetings going?
02:32Yeah, I've got one later. Missed last night's one for obvious reasons.
02:36Do you know, this is the second January on the trot you've been arrested.
02:39Unjustly, I might add.
02:42Gran, what are you doing here?
02:44I'm just saying, we've got a pregnant Sonia facing time, and now Lauren.
02:48Poor old dot must be turning in her grave.
02:50No, no one's facing time for mum's attack yet.
02:53Don't worry, darling. Cindy's always been a lying old trollop.
02:56She's still my mum.
02:58Unfortunately.
02:59Gran, can you give me and Lauren some space?
03:04All right. Listen, if you need anything, you know where I am.
03:08Thank you, Kathy.
03:13You're supposed to be acting normal.
03:16She's just concerned about the baby.
03:19Oh, yeah. You're taking notes, are you?
03:21You weren't all that concerned at Christmas when you were getting tired as a kite.
03:26Yes. I messed up.
03:29Badly.
03:31I'm just trying to wrack my head around what actually happened with your mum.
03:35Right, just get yourself off to work, will you?
03:38Right, just get yourself off to work, will you?
03:41Unless you're aiming for the sack, too.
03:43I am being accused of a crime that I can't even remember.
03:47You're worried about my shift at the car lot.
03:49Well, what else are we supposed to do except trust that the police will find who did it?
03:55You really believe it was me that attacked her, don't you?
03:58That's why you're freezing me out.
04:01You, Louis and the baby, you're my whole world.
04:07I know that you hate me for relapsing. I hate myself, too.
04:11But out of everyone, I need your support.
04:15I'm going insane, Peter. I need you.
04:18You got me. You got me.
04:20Get yourself off to work. I'll go see my mum.
04:23And I'll get her to back off.
04:28I promise.
04:31Your dad must be climbing the walls right now. Up a bit.
04:34He doesn't even like posh hotels and champagne.
04:37He's only doing it to impress Lady Muck. Now, down a notch.
04:40If we ever went anywhere... Yeah, that's it.
04:42I was lucky if I got a hotel with running water.
04:44Oh, pack it in, will you? All right?
04:46He's happy. He's moved on. Let him go.
04:49As if I'm holding on.
04:53Plenty of fitter daddies I could sink my teeth into.
04:59Blowing off the cobwebs.
05:02Supposed to be my first day.
05:04Down at Sons Trial, but it got adjourned.
05:06Well, you know, try and enjoy the rest.
05:10I've got Miss Dobson in for a wash and cut, first things.
05:14Did you have any more earache from Phil last night?
05:16Phil?
05:19No, no, it's nothing I can't handle.
05:24Right, I'd better get ready for Mrs Dobson, then.
05:26When you're finished with her, maybe we could go out for a spot of lunch on my show?
05:29Yeah, Jack, um...
05:31Listen, I'm...
05:33I really do appreciate all your help,
05:37but I've... You know...
05:41Listen, it wouldn't be as...
05:43Just as mates, obviously.
05:45Yeah, but, you know, we ain't mates.
05:48We're step-co-parents. We're divorced.
05:51So it's best not to, like, blur the lines for everyone's sake.
05:56I'll keep things simple.
06:06Can I get a latte, please, Marie?
06:08A double shot.
06:10Sonia could do with your luck.
06:14Just cos the police let you out, it don't mean you're forgiven.
06:19You embarrassed all of us at Christmas, Lauren.
06:22I know.
06:24I am so sorry. You and Anna, you were...
06:27You were both just collateral damage.
06:30But, honestly, your mum needed exposing.
06:35Oh, so they let you out the nick, then?
06:37I'm here, aren't I?
06:39Not as any of your business.
06:41Well, it's everyone's business now, isn't it?
06:43If the attack is still on the loose.
06:45Oh. I see.
06:47We're just fishing.
06:49Trying to see if you're still in the frame.
06:51You're a liability, Lauren.
06:53I'm just concerned about my family's well-being.
06:55What's so concerned you were planning on running back to Dubai?
07:00Look, what exactly did the police say to you?
07:03I mean, what have they got on you?
07:05I'm going to be late for work.
07:07I don't need another interrogation.
07:09Then why are you so on edge?
07:11Have you got nothing to hide?
07:18Look, can we... No.
07:24Lauren's walking free?
07:26Mum, there's no evidence that she attacked you.
07:29Rubbish! She had a clear motive.
07:31What? That you were feeding her drugs?
07:36Hey, stop pointing the finger, all right?
07:38You're hardly innocent in all this.
07:40Look, I know I've done some unforgivable things.
07:47And I'm truly, truly sorry,
07:50but I never meant to hurt you or the girls.
07:53You do know that, don't you?
07:56KNOCK AT DOOR
07:58Mr Peel, I have your results from this morning.
08:01I'll be pleased to know it's good news. Progress is strong.
08:04You'll still experience migraines in the coming days
08:07and require some care, but all going well.
08:10Tomorrow you'll be heading home.
08:12PHONE RINGS
08:14One moment.
08:16Apologies.
08:21Right, well, Dad's going to be jumping for joy about this, isn't he?
08:28Mum, our family are shattered.
08:36But we can...
08:39We can put this back together.
08:42I'll sort you a place to stay.
08:44I'll sort you a place to stay.
08:54We're not open yet.
08:56You should have locked it, then.
08:58It's all right, I've done it for you.
09:00Lucy, what called this morning?
09:02I couldn't answer. I was with Jack.
09:08Oh.
09:11Have you been getting any hassle?
09:13It'll be a lot less when your mum backs down.
09:15Have you spoken to her yet?
09:17No, she's a work in progress, Lauren.
09:19She's really adamant she saw you.
09:21Please. Please, Peter.
09:23You promised you were going to sort this out.
09:25I will. I will. Look...
09:27Look, Mum's getting discharged tomorrow
09:30and I've promised to sort a place to stay.
09:34She can't stay with us.
09:36No, she won't, Lauren. Don't worry.
09:38But this way she'll be nearby.
09:40Now we can keep an eye on her.
09:42What if she remembers something else?
09:44I mean, she could say anything.
09:46Peter, please, I can't. I can't do this.
09:49Lauren.
09:52Lauren.
09:58Come on, please, I'll let that pillow grease get to you.
10:01Right, though, innit? I've been useless.
10:03Nonsense. You've been a rock to me room in the last few months.
10:07Here, you've got a bag of 50s.
10:09Do I look like Bureau de Charge?
10:11Do I look like I know what that is?
10:13Your fruit and two veg are the talk of Walford.
10:16I beg your pardon?
10:18Well, them Canada shots made centre page.
10:20Have you ever thought of doing a secret cam?
10:22Nah, leave off.
10:24It's a no-brainer.
10:25Yeah, he's quite sexy, isn't he?
10:27It's a good article, too.
10:29Talks up the traders' efforts in saving the market.
10:31Good for you for raising awareness.
10:33You're becoming a poster boy.
10:34Yeah, I hadn't planned on doing that.
10:36Well, you should.
10:37Look at this legendary bill, it's fruit and veg.
10:39That market and your family go back generations.
10:42Yeah, in fact, not a good undoing to save it.
10:44The council's gone quiet.
10:46Shut us down by the time Roman gets to see it.
10:48Well, if you want to make yourself useful,
10:50you should go down the council now and get answers.
10:52Show them the momentum you've started with the cassette.
10:56Yeah, it'll be worth a bash.
10:58That's my copy.
10:59Get your own really big potatoes.
11:01See you outside.
11:06Bye.
11:17You know, I'm not playing games, Ravi.
11:20I don't string fellas along.
11:23Well, it feels to me like you're
11:25biding time, deciding who you prefer.
11:27No, no, what I'm doing is I'm picturing
11:30the absolute hell I'm going to get from Chelsea
11:34when she finds out about us.
11:37Now, Nugget might have come round, but my Chelsea...
11:48Hey.
11:51That being said,
11:53there's only one fella in my life.
11:58And with these around me,
12:02there is no space for anyone else.
12:07Hmm.
12:14My little girl,
12:16Bea,
12:19she fell down the stairs, broke her wrist.
12:25She was screaming,
12:28crying in pain,
12:30and the juice out of it baked on the sofa.
12:35And hours must have passed.
12:39Next thing, I heard the police kicking the door in
12:42and me going mad, attacking them.
12:46I blacked out, but still, I...
12:49If you blacked out, how...
12:52How do you know you did it?
12:55I mean, did someone tell you?
12:57I eventually remember attacking them.
12:59Lauren.
13:02I guess I got flashbacks, flashbacks.
13:06How long after?
13:08And were they quite vivid ones?
13:10We're just here to listen right now, OK?
13:13Sorry.
13:15I just, um...
13:17I just need to know if...
13:20if you can trust your own memory
13:22or whether it was just all clouded from the substances.
13:25If there's something worrying you,
13:27perhaps we can have a chat after.
13:30No, it's...
13:32It's fine, sorry.
13:36Excuse me.
13:41It'll be a couple of nights.
13:43She's got nowhere else to go.
13:44Your mother used that excuse three years ago, OK?
13:47She needs new material.
13:48Helping only reflects well on you,
13:50removes any doubts that you are her attacker.
13:52But I really couldn't give a monkey's, all right?
13:55She can go and rot in the gutter for all I care.
13:58But I am still expecting to see Louis later.
14:00It's Pictionary Wednesday after all, OK?
14:02Er, liquor will be two minutes.
14:09Complex family relations, eh?
14:11Tell me about it.
14:13Actually, I wouldn't know much.
14:15It was just me and Mum growing up.
14:17Then me and Debbie, and now without Sonia.
14:20Anyway, it's just me.
14:24Mate, it sounds like you could do with a bit of company for a few days, no?
14:28Cindy, no, no, no.
14:29I'm not in the right frame of mind to host...
14:31Please, mate.
14:32It's better than walking around the house alone, isn't it?
14:35Especially in a time like this.
14:36And think about all of the good karma you'd get, Rhys.
14:39I could certainly do with some of that.
14:41Along for Sonia.
14:43I suppose maybe I could have a...
14:45Mate, you are a lifesaver.
14:46Honestly, this is just until my mum gets back on her feet.
14:49Thank you so much.
14:54Thank you, darling.
14:55Here we go, lads.
14:57Whee!
15:00Nice.
15:01Next round, come on.
15:02It's you.
15:03It's definitely him.
15:04He's so smacking.
15:05Come on.
15:08You're gonna start this early.
15:09Might as well get on the good stuff.
15:11It's a bit depressing otherwise.
15:13What, you'd lace that with another chocolate?
15:15I would never.
15:16Not in public.
15:18Still touchy about your lunch date rejection earlier.
15:22You've been eavesdropping on my conversations?
15:25What, it's not bad enough that you've got me suspended?
15:27You've got to go.
15:28Simmer down.
15:29I know what a headache exes can be.
15:31It's a Harry's tale.
15:33And he's suffering.
15:36Locky, you're in disguise.
15:47You've got me...
15:56Ow.
16:08I've got you something.
16:14Pie mash?
16:16Really?
16:17With extra liquor.
16:19Consider it a gesture of goodwill.
16:23How's the trial going?
16:24Her son?
16:28She been sent down?
16:30She get life?
16:32Rhys, answer me.
16:33No, no, no, not yet.
16:35I tried to get...
16:37It was Jasmine to check the records and to change her statement.
16:40What did you do something stupid like that for?
16:42Keep the nurse quiet. Those were your words.
16:44I wasn't dishing out legal advice.
16:46The time's running out. I had to do something.
16:48Rhys, Rhys.
16:51Look, your aunt's in the right place.
16:55It's worth a shot, I suppose.
16:59I'm sure the last few days have been...
17:02really stressful for you.
17:05Lonely, even.
17:10Why don't you...
17:11Look...
17:12Why don't you let me change...
17:14change me top?
17:15Come and sit down and have some pie with me.
17:22You wouldn't mind?
17:24Course not.
17:27We're on the same team, ain't we?
17:34Even got your quiz show lined up.
17:42Watch out. That's my dinner.
17:47Lauren?
17:52Lauren, are you all right?
17:56Lauren?
17:59Oi.
18:00If something happens, shall I call Peter?
18:06Just...
18:08Just...
18:09I can look after myself. Just mind your own business.
18:11I'll go and after her.
18:12No, no, no.
18:13I'll call Peter.
18:15She's his problem.
18:21You looking for a big tip, love?
18:23There's nothing big about you.
18:25Oi, get your clammy hands off of me.
18:28Out, the lot of you.
18:29All right enough, darling. Come on.
18:30I said out.
18:31Come on.
18:32Disgusting. Out.
18:33Out.
18:34Out.
18:35Out.
18:36Out.
18:39You heard her.
18:40Go on, do one.
18:41And who are you, grandad?
18:42Huh? A reminder?
18:43No, I'm an off-duty officer, sunshine.
18:45It's fine, Jack. Just leave it.
18:46Yeah, Jackie.
18:47Go on.
18:48You mosey back to your lonely arse table.
18:51No!
18:52Oi!
18:54You!
18:55Get out of my club!
18:56Now!
18:57The lot of you!
19:06Right.
19:08Thanks, Jack, for helping.
19:09Yeah, thank God you were here, Popeye.
19:12Lucky punch.
19:13Come on, let's clean you up.
19:16That wasn't a request.
19:32Hey, you heard from Martin?
19:33I can't get hold of him.
19:34Oh, his phone died.
19:35Last I knew, he was still waiting.
19:37Ah, right on cue.
19:40Well, how'd it go? Any good?
19:42Yeah, the, er, the council want a meeting with all the traders.
19:45Tomorrow.
19:46That's brilliant.
19:47It's just that we see Roman in the evenings, don't we?
19:49I've got no time to put the markets case together.
19:51Well, I'll help you.
19:52We'll just bang it out for a few hours,
19:53and you can concentrate on Roman and your son's trial.
19:56I mean, that would be really helpful.
19:58So, what about you?
19:59Yeah, fine.
20:00I'll just, er, tell Roman you'll see him tomorrow.
20:02Yeah.
20:03I'll make it up to both of you.
20:05Well, two heads are better than one, aren't they?
20:07The council won't know we're sitting. Come on.
20:10See you later.
20:19All right, babe?
20:20All right?
20:21Yeah.
20:22Can I get a ginger beer, please?
20:24Your Uncle Jack needs to stick to softs and all.
20:26Might get less blood on the floor.
20:27Just go out the back and grab yourself one.
20:45All right?
20:48Is it true that you've, um, got connections?
20:51Just need some supplies?
20:53I'm sorry, you've... you've lost me.
20:56Please don't give me that.
20:58My pharmacy stuff, it's not even touching the sides.
21:00I just need... just need a little bit extra.
21:02I've got money.
21:03You're also pregnant, Aaron.
21:05Get off your high horse. I just only need some morphine.
21:09Come on!
21:18You make a habit of going in fistfuls with lads half your age.
21:23Well, they caught me on a bad day.
21:27A burning candle for the ex who don't give a toss.
21:30Been there.
21:32Lord, I can't look on her a long time ago.
21:36More bothered about sitting at home twiddling my thumb suspended.
21:39Oh, change the record, Jack.
21:41I was protecting my Harry. You had it in for him, remember?
21:44Yeah, looking out for my daughter.
21:46Of course.
21:48The ever-dutiful daddy.
21:52Now, you and me, we're the same.
21:55Protect our kids to the death.
21:58Drink?
22:00No, thanks. It's a good place.
22:11You sure I can't tempt you?
22:14As soon as you've poured it.
22:17I've been understanding. I've been supportive.
22:20I've done everything I can to make sure you don't feel alone
22:23and yet you're still begging locals for a quick fix.
22:26I thought you cared about us, our family.
22:29I do. Of course I do.
22:33It's just... It's not that black and white.
22:36It's just...
22:38It's just...
22:40It's just...
22:42It's just...
22:44It's just... It's not that black and white.
22:47Lauren, it never is with you. You're a mess.
22:50No! Everything is a mess!
22:53I just wanted... No, I needed an escape from all of this!
22:57That's what you got me for!
22:59I've got your back no matter what.
23:01With Mum, with your recovery.
23:04Has something else happened?
23:07SHE GASPS
23:12I can remember something else.
23:15I've got this image.
23:17What image?
23:19Me. With blood all over my hands.
23:22And I'm wiping it on my scarf.
23:26Or I found the scarf that already had blood on it and...
23:29I don't know which one, but you know the scarf that Louis got us both?
23:33No, you're talking in riddles.
23:35It is proof that I attacked your mum.
23:41Answer.
23:43Astronomer.
23:45Which is an apt anagram for moon-starer.
23:52I've watched this 50-odd times already.
23:57It's going to be hard to go back to a diet of instant noodles and biscuits after that.
24:02What am I going to do? It's nearly Jasper's dinner time.
24:04No, no, relax, relax. Don't go.
24:07We'll sit back there and we can discuss your next steps for the trial.
24:11Yeah, well, I'm running out of options.
24:14Sonia's fate has left her good karma and prayers.
24:18Yeah, but if she's a free woman, then I will be and all, right?
24:21Well, then let's just focus on one thing at a time.
24:24Ah! Ah!
24:26Oh! Oh!
24:28Bianca? Oh, my stomach again!
24:30Well, you were fine a minute ago.
24:32Yeah, it's just been going and going all week, it's so bad.
24:35Can you catch anything?
24:37Oh, no, it's a lot of...
24:39What's it? It's a UTI.
24:42Oh, I need to go to the hospital.
24:46No, Rhys, there's no time for thinking.
24:48I could die. I could get sepsis or kidney failure.
24:52Drink this and meditate.
24:54I'll come back in the morning with some painkillers.
24:56No, Rhys, please don't go. Don't leave me here, Rhys.
24:59Please don't leave me! Please, Rhys!
25:02I need help!
25:19Are you sure this isn't your subconscious punishing you for relapsing?
25:24I remember a blood-stained scarf.
25:28You're pregnant while in recovery.
25:30That's a cocktail of emotions and side effects, Lyne.
25:36We've known each other since we were kids.
25:38You do not have a violent bone in your body.
25:44I ran over my own dad.
25:46Sober.
25:52Maybe I'll just...
25:54I'll go to the police and tell them...
25:56I'll tell them that I do remember seeing your mum
25:58and I'll just blame it on my recovery.
26:00No, you can't. You can't.
26:02They'll take that as your confession and I won't let your...
26:04..the imagination ruin our little family.
26:06I love you too much.
26:09It's Mum's word against yours.
26:11OK? She has no hard evidence.
26:13Here, you...
26:15You did not do it, OK?
26:19We don't know that for sure.
26:25Trust me.
26:28You slept with the grandmother of your son's kid?
26:33Yeah, I suppose it was a bit rich, me expecting Dee's forgiveness.
26:36Well, your Dee should realise that some things are irresistible.
26:44Yeah, well, I'm a father, aren't I?
26:47I should know better.
26:49And yet we never learn.
26:54It's a shame we got off to a bad start.
26:57What do you mean by that?
26:59Well...
27:01..you're the only decent bit of rough round here.
27:05And you...
27:07..come with handcuffs.
27:13That is my cue to go.
27:15Well, good night, then.
27:18Officer.
27:24Yeah.
