00:00Sit down and I'll call Peter.
00:01I don't need you or Peter.
00:03I don't need a doctor or an ambulance or something.
00:05There could be something wrong with the baby.
00:07I'll call an ambulance.
00:13I should never have brought her back into her lives.
00:16But you did, Dad.
00:18You did.
00:20Can I just walk away from her?
00:22Yeah, for Lauren and the kids, you must.
00:24Son, I've...
00:26Look, I've been suckered in by that woman
00:27more times than I can remember.
00:30It's the last time for all of us, all right?
00:33Look, this new baby is going to need
00:34all the care and attention
00:36and to be kept as far away as possible
00:39from that witch.
00:43She's early, I think.
00:4538 weeks.
00:4638 weeks.
00:48Yes, I know that is technically full term,
00:51but the mother,
00:52she's had her own issues
00:55and she's on methadone.
00:57I'm high-risk.
00:58It's a high-risk pregnancy.
00:59She just needs reassurance.
01:02What?
01:03An hour for an ambulance?
01:05No, no, no.
01:06It's all right.
01:08Right.
01:09I'm going to get you a cab, okay?
01:10Just wait.
01:12All right?
01:12All right.
01:17All right, shall we dig in?
01:24Where's Joel?
01:24Knives in full.
01:26She's doing something fancy with the napkins.
01:35How can you be so stupid again?
01:40Come on.
01:40Oh, where's the taxi when you need her?
01:43This is London.
01:44Oh, you're back.
01:46You're here with the party.
01:47Is it finished?
01:48Do I really want to clear up?
01:49No.
01:50Peter's still in there.
01:51Lauren's just about to have a baby.
01:52What?
01:53Actually, tell Peter to come straight to the hospital.
01:55Come on, we'll just have a drink.
01:57It's kind of cold, though, isn't it?
01:58What are you going home for?
01:59Come on, it's late.
02:00Oh, Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea.
02:02You'll come out for a little drink of poo with me, innit?
02:04Because boring one here thinks that a night out finishes after the tea on my soup.
02:07And Irish coffee.
02:08I have got to tell Peter that Lauren's having the baby.
02:11What?
02:11Oh, sorry.
02:12Now, that is a reason to have a drink.
02:16Kim.
02:16What do you mean?
02:17Look, it takes a village to raise a kid, Harry.
02:21The child ain't even been born yet.
02:22Exactly.
02:23So while we wait, we have a drink.
02:26Yeah?
02:29Felix, it's Kim.
02:31Kim!
02:32Now, how do you fancy a little, uh, wet the baby's head?
02:35Does it really matter who's the baby?
02:40I mean, a drink's a drink, innit?
02:41You are both proper young and...
02:44And she clearly has no idea that she's being filmed.
02:46Of course she knew.
02:48It was her idea.
02:49I want some pub.
02:51Who have you sent this to?
02:52No one.
02:53I'm serious, Joel.
02:54I need to know.
02:55No, I haven't.
02:56Because it is really, really bad if you have.
02:59Because she's young.
03:02You'll end up on the sex offenders register.
03:04Now, delete it.
03:05It's gone.
03:15And no one's been sent here.
03:16You sure?
03:16Yeah, I'm sure.
03:17That gone gone.
03:18Permanent.
03:19Why does it take a false vacuum?
03:21It's coming.
03:22Go on.
03:22Go and sit outside.
03:27Is everything all right?
03:28Yeah.
03:29Everything's fine, mate.
03:30Oh, I thought it was only wine and beer allowed at this party.
03:40Tap's closed.
03:41Don't get any ideas.
03:42We were leaving anyway.
03:43Peter.
03:44Peter needs to get to the hospital right now.
03:46Lauren's having the baby.
03:47What?
03:48Yeah, she's on her way right now with your mum.
03:49With?
03:50Cindy.
03:52Dad, where's your keys?
03:53Peter, you can't.
03:54I'm going to go get a glass of water.
04:12You want one?
04:13Yes, please.
04:14It's your dad.
04:27It's Kwame.
04:28Huh?
04:29Oh.
04:31Hey, you all right, Dad?
04:34Mum's where?
04:35Peter, you've had way too much.
04:37I'm all right.
04:37I drive.
04:38No, you're not, Ian.
04:39Listen, Cat's cabs haven't got anything for another hour.
04:41Neither has the place on the high street.
04:43Well, everyone uses apps these days, don't they?
04:45Come on in.
04:45Make yourself useful.
04:46Got your phone now.
04:47Come on, you.
04:49I cannot believe Gina didn't keep track of the tab.
04:53I told her to.
04:54Well, she had a rough night, didn't I?
04:56Yeah, but Ian left strict instructions about what he wanted to pay for.
04:59Actually, Ian told Gina that he would fund whatever we all wanted for the rest of the night.
05:05He left his credit card here, didn't he?
05:08Yes.
05:08Yes.
05:09And you know how stubborn he is about his hosting.
05:13And now he's got a new grandchild on the way.
05:15He bought us all to celebrate.
05:17Fair enough.
05:18If we're extending the invite out, Auntie Kim wanted a place to drink earlier.
05:21Well, she's definitely a source of entertainment.
05:25He didn't say that, did he?
05:27Well, he's put us through since Christmas.
05:30Yes.
05:33Welcome.
05:34Cheers.
05:34Cheers.
05:35Oh, wow.
05:38There's a lot of people in here.
05:40Yeah, they're all waiting in here because they know that something's going to be wrong with the baby.
05:45Lauren?
05:46You okay, lovely?
05:47Uh-uh.
05:47Oh, my God.
05:51Oh, I'm so glad it's you.
05:53Have they brought you in specifically because they know that something's going to be wrong with the baby's ill?
05:57No, no.
05:57I'm just doing an extra shift for my sins.
06:01I know we talked through all the worst-case possibilities earlier, but please don't let that worry you now.
06:05We're all prepared.
06:06But am I...
06:07I'm too early, am I?
06:08Thirty-eight weeks is a very healthy term.
06:10You've carried this baby as best you could, and now you're going to deliver this baby as best you can.
06:16Right, I'll check on you in a bit.
06:17But for now, try and relax.
06:19I'll leave you with...
06:20Mother-in-law.
06:22Look, I'm going to see if I can get a hold of Peter, okay?
06:24No, please, please don't go.
06:26You don't need me.
06:27Oh, look.
06:38Lauren's gone into labor.
06:40That Kim Foxx has added me to the community WhatsApp group.
06:43Oh, poor Cash.
06:44You'll be in for a night of pain.
06:47A bit like me.
06:50Dad, can I have my phone?
06:52Nope.
06:54Maybe just give him a break.
06:55Give him back his phone.
06:56No.
06:56It's kind of funny what happened earlier.
06:58I make the rules, okay?
07:00What is wrong with you?
07:06Right.
07:07I have bought this nice Chinese takeaway, so I'm going to enjoy it, okay?
07:11But then someone is going to tell me what the hell is going on.
07:16How do you feel?
07:16Is it coming?
07:18Maybe.
07:19All right, I'll go and get the mic to what I said.
07:21No, I don't...
07:22I don't want to push.
07:23I just want to try and slow it down a little bit, yeah, because I ain't ready.
07:27Lauren.
07:28Lauren.
07:28However you're feeling, this baby is going to come out, and you are going to be its mother.
07:33However hard that's going to be, okay?
07:35And we're not all completely incompetent at being mums, you know?
07:37No, no.
07:38You're not.
07:40But what you did, I did to this little one inside.
07:46Don't do a me and continue making mistakes when they're on the outside.
07:50I had six chances.
07:52I pretty much screwed them all up.
07:54What is this?
07:55Mucked up mother's anonymous?
07:57I saw my breasts were pretty much okay, you know?
07:59In the end, Cindy Junie's was probably the worst.
08:03But having a baby in prison is not the best thing.
08:05Plus, I was scared and paranoid and sad, sad, because I knew they were going to take her
08:13away from me.
08:14But do you know why?
08:15She was probably the happiest out of all of them.
08:18At least messed up.
08:19Don't speak for the poor girl.
08:21Because she never really met me, did she?
08:22And who really needs a nightmare mother from hell, eh?
08:27Not saying you're in my league yet, Lauren.
08:30I mean, you didn't try and kill Ian Beal, did you?
08:33Twice.
08:34When was the second time?
08:37When I found out it was Kathy who tried to kill me.
08:41That's when things started to go, um, really bad.
08:46Lauren, I swear, the only reason I did what I did to Ian was because of the fear.
08:52Fear for my life.
08:54It was like the old days when the fools were around.
08:57I'm not saying that the fear was an excuse for being a bad mum, but it just seems to be
09:01the general theme for when things go wrong in my life.
09:04But all I'm saying, Lauren, is do not let fear ruin it for this little thing, okay?
09:09Yes, thank you.
09:19You're welcome, welcome, welcome.
09:20You okay?
09:21Yep, you okay?
09:22Now, what do we reckon?
09:24Is it going to be a boy or is it going to be a girl?
09:26I personally think it's going to be a girl.
09:28Oh, yeah?
09:29It's the way that Lauren was carrying, you know?
09:31Mm-hmm.
09:31Yeah.
09:32We really sense these sort of things.
09:34Of course.
09:34Yeah.
09:36Hey, um, Georgie, Georgie, any news from the point, mate?
09:39Yeah, Pete's stuck in traffic.
09:41Isn't Cindy with her, like, down the whistle thing?
09:43I don't know.
09:45I ain't ringing her.
09:46Yeah, Lauren's not texting back.
09:47So much for live updates, guys.
09:50I might have exclusive.
09:50Well, when I had Pearl, at least I kept my neighbours and family informed.
09:56Yeah, but wasn't that because you had her on my toilet floor?
09:59No, no, babe.
10:00It's a lie.
10:02No, you didn't.
10:03She did.
10:03True fact.
10:05Tell everybody how you had Mike, Martin, Kim.
10:07You know, I don't like to make anything about me.
10:10Let's just say Phil Mitchell was very well informed about that one.
10:15Yes, his bald head was the first thing that Micah saw.
10:18Wait, Phil delivered your kids.
10:21Haven't you seen that haunted?
10:23Look, Micah's got a pain.
10:25Talking about bald heads, Anna's birth was the reason I lost all my age.
10:29Anna?
10:29Yeah.
10:30Gina was a breeze, believe it or not, but Anna, she put her mum through some serious pain.
10:36Poor thing.
10:38She was a proper trooper that day.
10:41Is it, um, Cindy in your bed books?
10:43Yeah.
10:45Just, you know.
10:48Uh, anyway, um, to all of you, growing kids and squeezing them out, whatever weird way it happens,
10:56to mum's, to Lauren.
10:58To Lauren!
10:59To Lauren!
11:00Yay!
11:00I probably didn't help.
11:07I knew how scared you was after Christmas.
11:09I should have told you that I saw you there lying in the snow.
11:12We were just protecting ourselves.
11:14Everyone was.
11:16You know, I was actually completely convinced that it was me.
11:19With absolutely no knowledge.
11:22I was just off my face.
11:24You must have been relieved then when you found out it was Kathy.
11:26I was so relieved you were happy for her to start knitting little cardies for this one.
11:31Oh, trust me.
11:32Neither of you bill women are on top of my list for godmother.
11:36Oh, no.
11:37Look, breathe, breathe.
11:38It's okay.
11:39It's okay.
11:41Look, I'm really sorry for everything I've done, Lauren, and if I could make a fresh start
11:46for this little one, I know now what makes me do bad things.
11:50I think you've got that self-destruct button too, Lauren, haven't you?
11:54And you feel like you're losing.
11:56From what I hear, Lucy, the same thing too.
12:00Maybe that's why you two are good friends, eh?
12:03I just wish she was here so badly.
12:06No, no.
12:08You are going to do this on your own.
12:10You're going to get through this, the birth, and everything that comes after you, okay?
12:14But what if the baby's not well?
12:17What if they're in pain?
12:18What if they need help?
12:18You can do this on your own, Lauren, okay?
12:22You.
12:23Not a scared you, not a self-destructive you, but you.
12:28Do you hear me?
12:29Now, don't screw up, eh?
12:32You ready?
12:40Here she comes.
12:42Cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake.
12:44No, no, no, no, no.
12:44You have it, no.
12:45You have it.
12:46My sausage was early.
12:49Oh, really?
12:50Yeah, he was in an incubator with all them monitors for a week.
12:54Bless him.
12:56And do you know what?
12:57When he first came out, he was so small and wrinkled.
13:00When the midwife showed us his bits, we weren't sure what we were looking at.
13:05Wow.
13:06Mick was convinced we'd had another girl.
13:08We both had to put him right.
13:09Sonia's little baby was early, too, when I delivered it.
13:13Excuse me, what?
13:14No, hold on.
13:14When you say early, don't you mean that Sonia had no idea she was even coming?
13:19What in the Braxton hits are you chatting about?
13:21You delivered Sonia's baby?
13:23What if it was Laura and Bianca?
13:24No.
13:26Mick's was Martin's girl.
13:27Oh.
13:28What?
13:28I think we've officially topped Cindy and Phil Mitchell as worst birthing partner people.
13:34Oi.
13:35I was good.
13:36Yeah, but they didn't ask you back for the second time, though, did they?
13:40Oh, smashing through these tonight.
13:43Yeah, well, we're celebrating Laura, don't we?
13:45New life.
13:46The future little ones in a square.
13:49Missing Dolly.
13:51Yeah, I am, Chels.
13:55Each and all.
13:57Sorry, Sam.
13:58Oh, don't be silly.
13:59It is what it is.
14:01Oh, Martin would have loved this.
14:03When he sat here at the bar and he'd smash in bad pines.
14:06Yeah, you would.
14:11I just can't get used to it, Chels.
14:14It's still so raw.
14:16Of course.
14:18But I want you to be smiling, enjoying yourself.
14:24Yeah.
14:24Andy would want me to be hungover tomorrow and all, so cheers.
14:29Cheers.
14:30Cheers.
14:35Hey, Linda.
14:35Linda, come here a sec.
14:36Come here.
14:37So, right, I've just been telling George here, like, dudes, you know, like, these don't really belong in this gaff.
14:44It's like, nothing wrong with this place.
14:45I like it here, you know, beer and food and all that.
14:48But I think it belongs in the Vic, you know what I mean?
14:50Because that's like, you know, the heart of the square.
14:54Absolutely.
14:54Yeah.
14:55Well, maybe it's a good time to announce that the Vic will be reopening this week.
15:01Come on, Ollie!
15:02Come on!
15:04On VE Day.
15:05Oh, nice.
15:06Back with a bang.
15:07Yeah.
15:07Well, a bang, obviously.
15:09Like I said, me and the traders won't step a foot in there.
15:18No.
15:18No?
15:19No offence, ma'am.
15:20No, no.
15:21Of course.
15:22I love the Vic.
15:23I just probably need a bit more time, too.
15:25Yeah, no, I get that.
15:27It's just...
15:27Mum.
15:27Yeah, she's so excited.
15:30I mean, she's desperate to get back in there.
15:31Yeah, desperate.
15:33Right, so I'll tell my story now about my little Linda's birth.
15:36Oh, yeah.
15:37So, obviously, my husband was off somewhere, so it was just me.
15:44And my wonderful male midwife, Miguel.
15:49What?
15:49Yes.
15:50And I had all the drugs.
15:52We had such a laugh, I forgot to take my tights off.
15:56Mum makes a lot of sense.
15:57I can't hear you.
16:00No, Mum, sorry.
16:03You're doing really well.
16:04Have you got everything ready just in case the baby needs help?
16:07Of course.
16:08So, the head's out.
16:10Can you feel another contraction?
16:15That's really good.
16:17One more push and baby will be here.
16:26They're out.
16:27Is it okay?
16:32Just giving them a little rub.
16:35Can I see it?
16:37What's happening?
16:38Can I see it?
16:38I want to see my baby now, please.
16:40I want to see my baby now.
16:44What?
16:46He's fine.
16:49He's a beautiful baby boy.
16:51Do you not need to do any more tests or anything?
17:01He will.
17:02But for now, he just needs his mama.
17:03He's a boy, Peter.
17:16He's okay.
17:16He's okay.
17:17I want to see my baby.
17:17Hey, Peter.
17:18Yeah.
17:18Hey, what are you doing here?
17:19Hey, watch me.
17:19I want to see my baby.
17:20Hey, watch her.
17:20Hey.
17:21Hey.
17:21Hey!
17:22Hey, go!
17:23Hey, go!
17:23Hey, go!
17:23Hey, go!
17:23Hey!
17:23Hey, go!
17:23Hey!
17:24Hey, go!
17:25Hi!
17:25Russ, what is it?
17:45The whole circle of trust thing.
17:47I thought this was genuinely our new start
17:49after all the mess with the loan sharks and that.
17:53I thought we were getting somewhere today.
17:55Oi.
18:00Does our relationship mean anything to you?
18:03Of course it does.
18:04So what is going on?
18:10He's my boy, Vic.
18:13I mean, I love you.
18:17But he's my baby boy.
18:21And it's what you do for your kids, isn't it?
18:23Why are you getting it?
18:31There was never any loan sharks.
18:35I lied about why we left Australia.
18:36Hey, Linda, Linda.
18:45Bean's just got to the hospital and update is imminent.
18:49I'll tell you now, all right?
18:50I'm not going to stop this party.
18:51Just give them the news.
18:53Hey, come on.
18:55Scrape the jokes off the Queen, Vic, before you know.
18:57Just got to give them time, yeah?
18:58You think?
18:59Yes, I do think.
19:00More than waste and strays.
19:01They missed a bit more than they realize.
19:03Oh, and that includes.
19:04Come on.
19:05Come on.
19:06Bring it in.
19:07You'll be fine.
19:07I love this song.
19:08Everyone.
19:09Do you want to have the baby?
19:13What is it?
19:14What is it?
19:14What is it?
19:15It's a boy.
19:19It was going to be a boy.
19:23Chelsea, put on the other pants that we talked about, yeah?
19:26Head shoot.
19:27Head shoot.
19:27One.
19:29One.
19:29One.
19:30One.
19:31One.
19:31One.
19:31One.
19:31One.
19:32One.
19:32One.
19:37It started off with him watching some normal online lad stuff.
19:45But then something happened with a girl.
19:50He took a picture up of her skirt and she didn't want him to.
19:54What?
19:55And then he sent it to all of his mates.
19:58So I had to pay the family off the night.
20:00What?
20:00I couldn't risk getting the police involved.
20:02Of course you should have.
20:03Instead you paid some dirty hush money.
20:06Well, Sharon did.
20:06Listen, Vic.
20:08I wanted to tell you, all right?
20:09But I was scared I was going to lose you.
20:10But you didn't think you'd lose me by lying?
20:12You've been so good to me and Joel, right?
20:16I just couldn't stand there and just put more stress onto you.
20:20That is as bad as it got.
20:22He ain't done nothing bad since he's been here.
20:24No.
20:25No.
20:25It's not.
20:25Look, he's learning, all right?
20:34He's young and he's stupid.
20:37But I can't do this on my own, so...
20:40Please, babe.
20:41We...
20:42Just give me space.
20:43Is everything okay?
20:55He's very content.
20:57Sleeping soundly.
20:59So, no crying, no pain?
21:01Well, he's a baby.
21:03There is a bit of crying, I'm afraid.
21:04But he's in no pain, Lauren.
21:06Functioning well.
21:07At the moment, he's showing no signs of withdrawal,
21:09but we'll keep a close eye, okay?
21:13And now...
21:18Cuddle him.
21:23You might want to start feeding him, too.
21:33Well, we should probably tell you his name, shouldn't we?
21:36Yeah.
21:40Jimmy.
21:41Jimmy Beal.
21:43After my granddad, Jim.
21:45Oh, that's a good, strong name.
21:47His name's Jimmy.
21:50Yeah.
21:52That's a lovely name.
21:54But he suits him.
21:56Gave us a bit of a fight earlier, didn't he, Lauren?
21:59So glad I could be here for him.
22:02Yeah, thank you for being here with Lauren, Mum.
22:05We do appreciate it.
22:07So when did this become a thing?
22:12No, Dad, don't.
22:13What, she just happens to be here for the birth?
22:15Happens to be?
22:17I was the one that brought him to the hospital, Ian.
22:19Nothing's changed.
22:21Has it?
22:22Oh, come on.
22:25No.
22:27What?
22:28No, Dad's right, Mum.
22:29Nothing's changed.
22:30You can't...
22:30You can't be here.
22:31Not around Lauren and the kids.
22:32Oh, come on, Peter, please.
22:34You're too destructive, Mum.
22:36You shot Dad.
22:37You know why I shot him?
22:39Because I was petrified for my life
22:41and I was shouted from the rooftops.
22:43I've got nothing left to lose.
22:46You can't be here, Mum.
22:48Oh, Lauren, I've got fresh stuff.
22:54Sorry, Mum.
22:55Peter, please.
22:56No.
22:56No.
22:57No.
22:57Sorry.
22:59Mum.
22:59Don't be scared.
23:12Everything's gonna be okay.
23:22Um, where'd you go?
23:24Lucky for you, just for a walk.
23:25Not to call Sharon to tell her what I just learned.
23:27Oh, what's she learned, Dad?
23:29Everything.
23:31What happened in Australia
23:32and what we did with the money.
23:34Sharon's money.
23:35And now you're under my family roof.
23:37And now I know the truth.
23:38You will do everything I say.
23:41First things first,
23:42I'm moving you to a boys' school.
23:43What?
23:44No, I like Walford High.
23:45Yeah, so do all the girls there.
23:46They don't want some pervert in their class.
23:49I've actually got mates there.
23:50Tommy and...
23:51Yeah, you'll find new mates.
23:53Hopefully learn to respect women.
23:54Thanks for not selling Sharon.
24:05I ain't doing this for you.
24:07Or him.
24:08I just...
24:10I've just got to get my head around this.
24:12You are like something that won't flush.
24:26Look, they don't want you seeing the baby.
24:29Oh, I'm not waiting for Jimmy.
24:30So, I can't have my family.
24:35What about all the businesses I've worked hard for?
24:38I want what I'm due, Ian.
24:41What?
24:42What, and you think those businesses
24:44are going to stay afloat
24:45once everyone finds out about your little gunstun?
24:47Oh, and what you did to the Vic?
24:49Oh, I don't care what they say.
24:51The police know Rhys was speeding that night
24:53and all about your shrapnel wound.
24:55You can't change your story and threaten me in.
24:58Now, you, Cathy,
25:00your little crime is still an open case.
25:03I'm sure the police would love to re-interview you.
25:08So, I want
25:10Beelzeels,
25:13the chippy
25:14and the house.
25:17I want what I'm due.
25:20What?

25:23I am not running away
25:24or hiding
25:25or scared anymore.
25:27I just want
25:28what I'm due.
