00:00Turn it off!
00:15This is such a mess.
00:18This is you I love, Gav.
00:20Yeah, and I love you too.
00:22Even though I know that Jean is on a knife.
00:25I knew you were a piece of work.
00:28It's not real. It's one of those AI things.
00:31Oh, yes, yeah.
00:32Of course it's real.
00:34I'm just doing Jean a favour.
00:36Giving her proof that Othella
00:39is knocking off a geriatric behind her back.
00:42Hello, Cindy, even for you.
00:44It's not true, is there?
00:48I mean, you wouldn't...
00:50Jean, I...
00:54I am so...
00:56I'm so sorry.
01:01See?
01:03I've never had any trouble with Louis.
01:18Why won't he latch on?
01:20Why doesn't he want me?
01:22Hey, sorry.
01:26Peter, I think Cathy needs your...
01:28I'm busy.
01:29Yeah, but Mum's just told the whole pub
01:31that Cathy's been sleeping with Harvey.
01:33What?
01:34Jean's Harvey?
01:35Mum's filmed him kissing.
01:36Of course she did.
01:37I've always had a niggling feeling about you,
01:39and now I know why.
01:40It's you I love, Cathy.
01:42You disgusting piece of filth.
01:45Everyone knows Harvey and Jean were solid.
01:47It's all Cathy's fault.
01:49If anyone knows about cheating, it's you.
01:51You drop your knickers faster than I'm cracking egg.
01:53It's not about me.
01:54It's always about you.
01:56Jean is broken-hearted, and it's all your fault.
01:58Cindy's right.
01:59Jean was saying you've been such a supportive mate,
02:01a really good friend.
02:03But what you really are, Cathy,
02:05is a backstabbing cow.
02:07Stop it, Cathy, stop it!
02:12Hey, the floor show's over.
02:14Call in time.
02:15Drink up, please.
02:17You show your face tonight, yeah,
02:19and I'll have you.
02:26Ain't you gonna say anything?
02:28Come on.
02:54Sorry, Nan, I used to last to the milk.
02:56How was the party?
02:59I got caught up at the Albert.
03:04Jean!
03:07Jean!
03:12What are you doing? Leave that!
03:13Well, it needs to be done,
03:14otherwise there'd be nothing clean for the morning.
03:16Jean, come on, it's all right.
03:17What's going on?
03:19Jean's just found out that Harvey's been seeing someone else.
03:22Yeah, been having it away with Cathy.
03:24Jean, how about I put the kettle on,
03:26make a nice strong cup of tea?
03:28I'm all right.
03:29Actually, Alf,
03:30go to the front room,
03:31see if there's some brandy, yeah?
03:32You're all right.
03:36Anne, I'm so sorry.
03:37Is this why you signed the Albert over to her?
03:49No one forced her to.
03:50It was either that or she was coming after the pie shop, the chippy, everything!
03:54I deserve compensation!
03:55You deserve to be burnt at the stake!
03:56There's no way you're getting the Albert after this!
03:57You signed the Albert just like I did.
03:58Yeah?
03:59Well, I'll rip it up and stuff it down your throat.
04:00I'll be damned if I'm letting you have the Albert now!
04:01Yeah, well, you're damned already, Cathy.
04:02Who knew you'd served yourself up as easy as your full English, eh?
04:03Whoa, whoa, whoa!
04:04Right, you...
04:05No, no, no, no!
04:06Right, that is it!
04:07I'm so sorry.
04:08I'm so sorry.
04:09I'm so sorry.
04:10I'm so sorry.
04:11I'm so sorry.
04:12I'm so sorry.
04:13No one forced her to.
04:14It was either that or she was coming after the pie shop, the chippy, everything!
04:16I deserve compensation!
04:17You deserve to be burnt at the stake!
04:18There's no way you're getting the Albert after this!
04:19You signed the paperwork just like I did.
04:20Yeah?
04:21Well, I'll rip it up and stuff it down your throat.
04:22I'll be damned if I'm letting you have the Albert now!
04:24Yeah, well, you're damned already, Cathy.
04:25Who knew you'd served yourself up as easy as your full English, eh?
04:28Whoa, whoa, whoa!
04:30Right, you...
04:31No, no, no, no!
04:32Right, that is it!
04:33I am going to the police!
04:35And you are going to be locked up for the rest of your miserable life for what you did
04:38to me!
04:40On what proof?
04:43What?
04:46What?
04:47She's admitted it!
04:48You all heard her!
04:50No.
04:51No, I didn't hear anything.
04:53Did you?
04:54No?
04:55Me neither.
04:56George?
04:57Huh.
04:58It's like no-one knows what you're talking about, Cindy.
05:00That bang on the head has obviously made you very, very confused.
05:04My money's on a mugging gone wrong.
05:07Peter!
05:08Are you hearing this, Peter?
05:11Like Dad said, I don't know what you're talking about.
05:15Thank you, Peter.
05:17Both of you, you just disgust me.
05:19This is going to be a celebration for my son.
05:22Your grandson.
05:23And your great-grandson.
05:24Oh, Peter, I never meant to do anything.
05:26After everything you said to Mum about cheating on Dad, you were doing the same with Harvey.
05:30You're such a hypocrite!
05:32I am really sorry for ruining the party, but people need to know the true Cathy.
05:37Oh, shut it, will ya?
05:39Otherwise the true Cathy will give you another slap!
05:41Oh, really?
05:42Right!
05:43What, no!
05:44Enough!
05:45Enough!
05:46I'm sick of the lawyer!
05:48You're kidding, right?
05:49You've got to let Stacey know.
05:50Power!
05:51It's a pusher over the edge!
05:52Yeah, but Mum's in the kitchen in pieces!
05:53Yes, I know!
05:54But do you think having Stacey in even more pieces will help?
05:55Oi, I warned you!
05:56Come on, you!
05:57You can scream and shout all you want, but I need to see Jean!
05:58No, you ain't going anywhere near her!
05:59That's for her to decide!
06:00I can't be pissed!
06:01I'm really saying as simple as it seems, I need to explain to her!
06:02Is that right, Harvey?
06:03What do you need to explain, huh?
06:04What do you need to explain, huh?
06:05What do you need to explain, huh?
06:06What do you need to explain, huh?
06:07What do you need to explain, huh?
06:08What, that you had an affair?
06:09What, you want to tell Jean all the sordid details?
06:10I used to think he was an alright bloke, you know?
06:11Tell me what, you never fooled me!
06:12Because I always knew that you got hold of that mire!
06:13Not mire, just Cathy!
06:14And clearly, it takes a chance to sniff another one out!
06:15Oi, oi, oi, oi, enough!
06:16Listen, I ain't leaving this house till I've seen Jean!
06:17Cloday!
06:18The things I need to hear from her!
06:19What do you need to explain, huh?
06:20What do you need to explain, huh?
06:21What do you need to explain, huh?
06:22What do you need to explain, huh?
06:23What do you need to explain, huh?
06:24What do you need to explain, huh?
06:25What do you need to explain, huh?
06:26That you got hold of that mire?
06:27Not mire, just Cathy!
06:29And clearly, it takes a chance to sniff another one out!
06:31Oi, oi, oi, oi, enough!
06:32Listen, I ain't leaving this house till I've seen Jean!
06:35Cloday!
06:36The things I need to hear from him!
06:38Jean, this ain't a good idea!
06:40Let him in!
06:56How long's it been going on?
07:16A few months.
07:21How did it start?
07:34When Martin died, he was all in shock and you focused on Stacey's grief.
07:48Of course you did.
07:49And I wanted to help.
07:51To support you.
07:53And I tried.
07:55Everything I'd done was wrong and you shut me out.
08:00You did, Jean.
08:02You made me feel useless.
08:04Invisible.
08:05And Martin was my mate, you know.
08:08I was grieving too.
08:11And...
08:15And so was Cathy.
08:17Um...
08:19She...
08:20She needed someone.
08:22We both did.
08:24And, er...
08:26She was there.
08:28For me.
08:30I...
08:31I don't know.
08:34I...
08:35I never meant for it to happen.
08:37It just did.
08:38But you were pushing me out, Jean.
08:41So it's my fault.
08:44No, I'm not saying that.
08:47You are.
08:48Actually, you are.
08:50You know, Brian had a secret family.
09:05All the time he was up north working, he was with another woman.
09:09It went on for years.
09:12I had children.
09:13I'm not Brian.
09:15You're not that different.
09:16I never wanted to hurt you.
09:17Both of you decided that I wasn't enough.
09:20Both of you found someone else.
09:23Both of you lied.
09:24Both of you made me believe that everything in our relationship was absolutely fine.
09:29I'm sorry.
09:36I trusted you.
09:38With loving me.
09:39With my family.
09:43I proposed to you.
09:46Stupid Jean.
09:47No, don't say that by yourself.
09:49But I am stupid.
09:51Months.
09:53And I had no idea.
09:54I have talked and confided about my feelings for you to Cathy.
10:01It's who I am.
10:02Stupid, stupid Jean.
10:03See this.
10:04This is exactly what I never wanted you to find out.
10:07Me and Cathy, we ended things because of how you feel.
10:12How it might affect your condition.
10:14My condition?
10:15What's that got to do with anything?
10:17I take my tablets.
10:18You see me take my tablets twice a day.
10:20Don't you dare blame this on my bipolar.
10:23Don't you dare.
10:30Sympathy.
10:33That's the reason you decided to end things.
10:34Not guilt or feeling like you're making the biggest mistake of your life.
10:38But you felt sorry for me.
10:43You lied to me about Maya.
10:44And I forgave you because I really wanted this to work.
10:48So what, you were pretending you wanted us to work?
10:54No.
10:56I did.
10:57I did want us to work.
10:58I've been fighting my feelings, my attraction to Cathy.
11:00Oh yes, because she's so alluring, isn't she Cathy?
11:03Beautiful, ageless Cathy.
11:05Fun, exciting, unpredictable.
11:07I'm sure she fulfils you in ways that I can't.
11:10Oh, don't.
11:11Boring, domestic gene.
11:13Stuck in her ways.
11:14Always cooking, always cleaning.
11:15Once in a blue moon.
11:16A kiss and a cuddle on the sofa in front of the television.
11:19Do you know?
11:20I am nothing compared to Cathy.
11:31And you can't even deny it.
11:38I can be unpredictable.
11:42I can be exciting.
11:44Jane, are you ready?
11:45Yes!
11:46I'm having a smashing time!
11:47Showing Harvey that I'm not boring!
11:49Shall we go in there?
11:50I don't know.
11:51She wants us, she'll shout, won't she?
11:52Yeah, it was a lot.
11:53I don't have to call for an hour, would I say.
11:54What's happening?
12:00You smashed the whole sink full if it helps.
12:02Hm, thanks for giving me your permission.
12:05I'd only have to clear more of it up though, wouldn't I?
12:07Because that's what I do, isn't it?
12:09Clean up mess.
12:11Me and Cathy, it's got nothing to do with you and me.
12:14I mean, of course it does, but you've done nothing wrong.
12:22You're still the gene that I fell in love with.
12:25Then why?
12:31I don't know.
12:33I think maybe I just got tired of always coming last with you.
12:37Just Harvey in the corner, reading his paper, taking the bins out.
12:41It's like we've been together for 40 years.
12:46So...
12:47I've neglected you, that's what you've been telling yourself.
12:51Hey, look.
12:54Martin...
12:56He shouldn't have died, he was too young.
12:58He meant too much to too many people, but...
13:02Me included.
13:04Me and him...
13:06We had so much in common.
13:07I don't mean just the football and the Vic, you know?
13:10We were bonded by a slate of women.
13:13We supported each other.
13:15He was my mate.
13:16I mean, did that even cross your mind?
13:18This?
13:19Again?
13:20What is this?
13:21Some sort of grieving competition?
13:23Stacy and Martin were together and had kids way before you arrived on the square.
13:28Stacy's in meltdown and I'm worried it's going to trigger her bipolar and wasp are on the subject.
13:31Where were you when I was grieving?
13:34Whilst I was busy looking after everybody else, it was Alfie who checked in on me.
13:38But you, you were feeling so ignored that you had to rush over to Cathy for consolation.
13:43That's what you're telling me, isn't it?
13:45Well, poor you.
13:47Poor neglected you.
13:49I'm not trying to compete, Jean.
13:51And I was there for you and the kids, you were just too busy to sit.
13:55I can't do anything right, can I?
13:56It doesn't matter how much I try and show that I love you, just keep me at arm's length.
14:02Have you...
14:05ever loved me?
14:08You need to ask.
14:11Do you still love me?
14:14Of course I do.
14:21Just...
14:27Just...
14:32So lonely.
14:34In this house.
14:37All the people are on the noise, I'm never alone but...
14:41I just...
14:43never felt...
14:45loneliness like it.
14:47And Cathy takes that loneliness away.
14:56Do you know who takes my loneliness away, Alfie?
15:06You do.
15:07Not bad to have my bags.
15:24Not bad to have my bags.
15:38Peter will come round.
15:40He...
15:41He always does.
15:42Yeah?
15:43Well, I hope for his sake he doesn't.
15:45Him and Lauren need to take those boys as far away from this place as possible.
15:50This house is like the Bates Motel without the welcome, Matt.
15:56Oh, stop looking at me like that.
15:58Well...
16:00I never had you down for, um...
16:02having affairs with men in relationships.
16:07Do you remember Buster?
16:09Who?
16:10Mick's dad.
16:12I was seeing him behind Shirley's back.
16:16Now you know.
16:17I'm no better than the peroxide witch.
16:19Hi.
16:20I'm so sorry, Mum.
16:21Oh, what are you doing, Alf?
16:23Will you go on back up and I'll bring you a milky drink?
16:41No.
16:44Says he still loves me, Stacey.
16:47I don't think you can.
16:50You can't, can I?
16:52As if you love someone, you don't have sex with someone else, do you?
16:56Oh, I love Bradley.
16:58I loved Martin, but I still slept with Max.
17:03I hurt Martin so much.
17:07See? I'm getting stronger every day.
17:09Yeah?
17:10I can talk about it now.
17:11Mum, this shouldn't be happening to you.
17:16Oh, shhh.
17:17I'll be fine.
17:19I'll bounce back.
17:20Will you?
17:22I mean, Harvey, he just, he just fitted, didn't he?
17:25He was like my dad.
17:27He's...
17:28He's like the rock.
17:29You know, we're all going from crisis to crisis and...
17:32He's the solid one.
17:34I mean, the kids, they think the world of him.
17:36How are they going to cope with losing someone else?
17:39Yeah.
17:42He is a bit like the cement holding the bricks together, isn't he?
17:50Right, erm, let's get you back upstairs, eh?
17:54Yeah.
17:56Come on.
17:57Harvey got the use of this caravan, and Jean was tied up looking after Stacey's kids.
18:20Now's not a good time.
18:21It's a very good time for me.
18:22Er, let her in, Ian.
18:24Jean, look, you're hurt and angry, I know, and you've every right to be, but it wasn't planned.
18:34It just happened...
18:35Whoa!
18:39Right.
18:41I needed to get that out of my system.
18:43I think you should go.
18:45Is that whiskey?
18:46Yeah.
18:48Could I have one, please?
18:51Well, Ian?
18:54Thank you, Ian.
18:55Would you leave us alone now, please?
18:56What, see?
18:57Slap her again?
18:58Ian, it's okay.
19:00I'll be upstairs.
19:01You betrayed me.
19:02You know how much Harvey means to me.
19:03I, erm...
19:04You betrayed me.
19:05You know how much Harvey means to me.
19:06I am so sorry.
19:07I hate myself.
19:08He was my last chance after Daniel.
19:09He was my last chance after Daniel.
19:11He was my last chance after Daniel.
19:12I don't know.
19:13He's a good man.
19:14He's a good man.
19:15You know how much Harvey means to me.
19:16I am so sorry.
19:17I hate myself.
19:18He was my last chance after Daniel.
19:19Jean, if Harvey came to me, it's because things weren't right with you and him.
19:20He wasn't happy.
19:21He was my last chance after Daniel.
19:25Well, of course you'd say that.
19:26I think he was.
19:27So how did it start?
19:28Of course you'd say that.
19:29I'm sorry.
19:30You betrayed me.
19:31You betrayed me.
19:32You know how much Harvey means to me.
19:33I am so sorry.
19:34I hate myself.
19:35He was my last chance after Daniel.
19:38Jean, if Harvey came to me, it's because things weren't right with you and him.
19:46He wasn't happy.
19:47Well, of course you'd say that.
19:51I think he was.
19:52So how did it start? I've heard Harvey's side, I want yours.
19:57Well, I misread the signs and kissed him.
20:03But, as you'll know, he shut me down because of you.
20:08He said he had you, he was happy with you.
20:12Happy? Yes, we were.
20:15And then... and then Martin died.
20:22Oh, yes, yes. He said,
20:26Grief makes us do crazy things.
20:30I mean, I was focused on trying to help the grandchildren
20:34deal with the fact that their father was dead
20:36whilst you and Harvey were ripping each other's clothes off.
20:38No! No, it wasn't like that.
20:41And I'm not excusing what happened, but...
20:43Jane, you've got to see.
20:46If he was really happy with you,
20:48then he never would have looked my way.
20:50Harvey is a good, decent man.
20:53Yes, he is.
20:55He's my decent man.
20:58And I'm here to tell you, Cathy,
21:00that if you really are as sorry as you say you are,
21:03you will leave Harvey alone.
21:06What? You'll... you'll forgive him?
21:10I... I can't compete with you, Cathy.
21:15Jean, it's not a competition, Cathy.
21:18Isn't it?
21:20Men will always look at you, admire you, want you.
21:24Won't me.
21:27So, what are you saying, Jean?
21:31Just because Rocky is locked up in prison,
21:35please don't take Harvey away.
21:38Well, that's not my decision, is it?
21:41I mean, that... that's for Harvey to decide.
21:44Well, I know Harvey.
21:46Anything for a quiet life.
21:48You see, it's not just me.
21:50It's the whole family and he knows that we need him.
21:54I have been watching the pain that Stacy has been going through
21:58these last few weeks after losing Martin.
22:01Life is so short, Cathy, so yes, yes.
22:04Yes, I think I can forgive him.
22:09Well, then I promise you, Jean, I won't do any running.
22:13But if Harvey comes knocking on my door,
22:18I'm not closing it in his face.
22:43I've got everything I need.
22:47Would you just come in the front room for a minute?
23:02There's nothing more I can say, Jean, apart from I'm sorry.
23:06Because, you know, I am, I really am.
23:10I'm sorry enough to forget it ever happened and stay.
23:15Whoop, their echo being unpredictable again.
23:17Jean, what are you saying?
23:21Erm...
23:28What I tried to do in Southend,
23:31many men would have walked away, but you didn't.
23:35Of course I didn't.
23:36And after everything that we have been through together,
23:39as a family, you've stayed.
23:41And that's not because you're stuck in the corner with the newspaper.
23:44You've stayed because we matter to you.
23:47Of course you do.
23:49You all do.
23:52The way you invited my family and...
23:55You gave me life again after Donna moved away and Aaron was locked up.
23:58But...
24:00I've never been so low and...
24:01Then along you came.
24:05Because this is your home.
24:09This is where you belong.
24:11We are your family and we need you.
24:13We need you.
24:17You are the thread that holds us all together, Harvey.
24:20So if you go, I don't know what will happen.
24:23I don't need to be emotionally blackmailed.
24:25No, I'm just saying it as it is.
24:27And it's not too late.
24:29So you want me to stay for the family?
24:31Well, I've never seen Stacey like this before.
24:35The kids absolutely adore you and...
24:38Well, if...
24:40If Lily loses another father figure and...
24:43What about you?
24:45Oh, my feelings don't matter.
24:47Oh, Jimmy.
24:49Let's just put all this behind us, shall we?
24:52Forget it ever happened.
24:54Cathy's agreed to back off, so...
24:57You saw Cathy?
24:58Yes, well, I made her see that this is where you belong.
25:00And she knows that that's the right thing.
25:02She said that.
25:03Well, she doesn't love you like I love you.
25:04And I am happy to forgive you.
25:07You want me to stay for the sake of Stacey and the kids?
25:10Yeah.
25:12You don't beg me to stay because you love me.
25:15Oh, well, I love you.
25:16Of course I love you.
25:18I mean, we'll never be the love of each other's lives.
25:20That's been and gone, but...
25:22Well, we make each other happy, don't we?
25:24And that's enough for you.
25:26Making each other happy.
25:28Well, it's not just about me.
25:31No, it's not.
25:32It's about me as well.
25:35My feelings.
25:37My wants.
25:39My life.
25:44I'm sorry, Jean, but...
25:46I need to be where someone wants me for me,
25:49not to make their family happy.
25:51I don't love you anymore, Jean.
25:54I'm in love with Cathy.
25:58No.
26:00You're not.
26:02You might think that you are, but you're not.
26:04Oh.
26:07I love Cathy.
26:09And I'm leaving you.
26:13Okay.
26:17Well, get out, then.
26:18Well, look, I just wanted...
26:19Get out! Get out!
26:20Get out!
26:21Get out!
26:22Get out!
26:23Get out!
26:24Get out!
26:25Choosing her over us!
26:26Turning her back on a whole family that needs you!
26:28Where'd you get off, Harvey, eh?
26:30You are scum!
26:32Do you know that?
26:33Yeah.
26:34I'll help you.
26:35Go on, get out.
26:37Don't look at her!
26:38In fact, don't even look at any of us, yeah?
26:40Get out.
26:49Oh, Jean, come here.
26:51Oh, darling, it's all right.
26:52It's all right.
26:53I'm here.
26:54That's what happens when you get involved with Cathy Beale.
27:04She destroys lives.
27:24I've left her.
27:25And I've talked about this you that I love.
27:26Well, you best come in, then.
27:55Well, that's fine then.
27:56Well, that's fine.
27:57I'm with you.
27:58I'm free.
28:00Let's keep it going.
