00:00I
00:30All right?
00:47What's that?
00:49I know. I can't believe it, neither.
00:52You've seen it all, haven't you, over the years?
00:55There ain't much gone on in here that you don't know about.
00:58But do you know what?
01:01You ain't seen nothing yet.
01:09I'm not rushing into anything.
01:11I can't have a baby.
01:13But an abortion, Avani, it's a really big decision.
01:17It's a decision that I've already made,
01:18and I need it done before Mum and Dad find out.
01:20But listen, there's no going back afterwards, you know?
01:25You can't change your mind later.
01:28And what?
01:30Some people struggle to have a baby.
01:33What if this is your only chance, eh?
01:36Don't you want children one day?
01:39I don't... I don't know, OK?
01:44Look, just...
01:46Just think about it, yeah?
01:48That's all I'm asking.
01:49I know, you're scared, Avani.
01:55And you've every right to be, right?
01:57Vinny's just about ready to leave.
02:00What's going on?
02:02I just, um...
02:03Avani was saying that I should make things right with Vinny before he goes.
02:09Only one with her head screwed on in this family.
02:11I had fun last night.
02:29I could tell.
02:32You kissed your mum that mouth.
02:35So when can I see you again?
02:36Nah, I...
02:37I ain't looking for any of that.
02:39I'd only break your heart.
02:41Think a lot of yourself.
02:43Don't you?
02:44Oh, wouldn't I?
02:46Chew's that way.
02:46Never got your name.
02:52I'm Isaac.
02:54Chew's that way, Isaac.
02:56Right.
02:59Lauren and Peter know you're using their place as a knocking shop.
03:03Are you by sleeping, Uncle Jack?
03:06Don't let me call the old Bill up and always complain.
03:08They've got a lot going on at the minute.
03:10I try not to add to it.
03:16Come on, you lot.
03:27Get a shift on.
03:28God knows why I thought it was a good idea to do all this in one day,
03:30but the bit's going to be open tonight come hell or high water.
03:33Ernie, either bin that or wash it.
03:34It's filthy.
03:35Can we get free drinks?
03:36Yeah, on a Friday.
03:37After that, you pay.
03:39Wait, so what's the point of owning a pub if you've got to pay for your stuff?
03:41You've got to earn it.
03:43You could be dormant.
03:44Yeah, you've got to keep all the troublemakers out.
03:46Well, then that's you two and barred, innit?
03:47Oi, you can't bar Stacey.
03:49It was down to where we've got the vicar tool.
03:50Thank you, darling.
03:51Just put it anywhere you can.
03:54Don't worry, Elaine.
03:55Elaine?
03:56You'll be out your hair in a minute,
03:57then you've got this pleasure palace all to yourself.
03:59Can't wait.
04:00Just want my big stuff in storage.
04:02Will you be all right?
04:03Yeah, of course.
04:04I've got a plan.
04:05Oh, yeah?
04:06Yeah, get somewhere bigger than this and...
04:08You know what?
04:09I'll leave you to it.
04:10I'll see you later.
04:11Bye, Mum.
04:12Right, whatever ain't packed ain't coming,
04:14and that includes you lot.
04:15Right, come on.
04:16Let's go and check.
04:17You haven't left anything in your bedroom.
04:25Stace?
04:27You'll never know how grateful I am.
04:29This is a new start for all of us,
04:30and it's all down to you.
04:33Ava's going to be over the moon when he finds out.
04:35This is the best surprise he's ever had.
04:36Vancouver, though.
04:46You all right?
04:47I'm well gelled.
04:48We'll still be going.
04:48Yeah, give our love to Ash and Gigi.
04:50I won't.
04:51I guess I was a party enough for all of us.
04:52Make it a proper engagement bash.
04:58Have a brilliant time, mate.
04:59Thanks.
05:01All right.
05:02See you later.
05:03See you later.
05:14Hey, can we talk?
05:16I'm late.
05:16It's Alan, you're planning on keeping up this nonsense with him?
05:32I've just got a lot on my mind, Eve.
05:34Yeah?
05:35More important than making peace with your own son?
05:37Right now, yeah.
05:38It's just that...
05:39With everything that's going on at the moment...
05:43You know, the police barging into the house yesterday.
05:46I just think...
05:48You need to just step up for the family.
05:51Just pull them together.
06:01I do realise you're blocking a public thoroughfare.
06:08Yeah?
06:08You're blocking life's you, Ben, dear.
06:10But you crack on, don't you?
06:13You know what?
06:13The only good thing that come out of you getting the Vic...
06:15You kept it out of the hands of the developer.
06:18Hop in later for a drink, yeah?
06:19Drain your sorrows.
06:20See what you could have won.
06:21I can't say I might tomorrow.
06:24That's it for places still standing.
06:27You're moving in quick.
06:28Yeah, I'm getting my feet under the table before Elaine changes her mind.
06:31Best luck, Kat.
06:36Cheers.
06:43You all right?
06:45I've got to admit, I'm gutted Ian didn't get the Vic.
06:48I was banking on that job you offered me.
06:51What, uh...
06:52You don't know that, then?
06:54I got called this morning offering me a wheat carrying timber at a builder's merchant in Kentish Town.
06:59I don't know what I'm going to do, Kat.
07:00I just feel so useless.
07:03Well, I'm going to have a few shifts here, you know.
07:06If you don't mind taking orders from your auntie.
07:09Are you serious?
07:10Well, we don't need some silly old pub to get the families together, do we?
07:14And anyway, you ain't got the shoulders for throwing timber around, have you?
07:17Right, you'd better go back to your bedroom and we'll all end up sleeping in the bath.
07:29Oh, what's all this?
07:32This?
07:32It's amazing.
07:34Thanks.
07:34This is a fresh start for the whole family, all right?
07:37And nothing in the world is going to ruin today.
07:41Where am I sleeping?
07:43What are you doing here?
07:44Oh, come on, Kat, you ain't going to have a poor old lady out on the street.
07:47Lady, do me a favour.
07:48You've got a perfectly good room at Stacey's.
07:51You just want to live in a pub.
07:52Hey, she's even bought housewarming gifts.
07:54What, bog roll?
07:55Yeah, a couple of months' worth.
07:57You'll have the cleanest what's sitting in Walford.
07:59What do you reckon?
08:00I mean, she's family, Mum.
08:03Yeah, all right, but just temporary.
08:07Hang on.
08:13Oh, darling, do you know anywhere I can get two litres of bleach round here?
08:16The mini-mount's sold out.
08:17Bleach?
08:18What are you doing, getting rid of her body?
08:20No, I thought I'd give a new place, the once-over, now Kat's gone.
08:24Oh, yeah, of course.
08:25How are you feeling about that?
08:25Well, I can't be two down after that England match.
08:28I mean, 2-1.
08:28And I'll tell you something, there's going to be a lot of kids named Michelle and Chloe in nine months' time.
08:34It'll be weird watching the final without you behind a bar.
08:37Also, tell Kat to put a swear pot in front of Mo on Sunday.
08:42She'll be able to retire.
08:44It's a shame you can't watch it with Johnny.
08:48Yeah.
08:49Laters.
08:50Apparently, it is meant to be amazing.
08:57Penny keeps banging on about the biryani.
08:59Oh, money, we should give it a go.
09:01Well, we can't exactly rock up with a screaming baby, can we?
09:03What's all this now?
09:05Just a new Indian on the high street.
09:07I can go off the kids if you want.
09:08You get in there, enjoy yourselves, bring back a doggy bag.
09:11All right.
09:12I'll put out missing persons for you, shall I?
09:14Oh, you owe me.
09:16We could catch the early bird.
09:17I mean, we could get there and back before they even know we're gone.
09:20I don't know.
09:21You know, Oscar can give us a call if there's a problem.
09:25No, I ain't gross.
09:27What?
09:28Don't you trust me?
09:29Yeah, all right.
09:31Yeah?
09:32Yeah.
09:33All right.
09:33It's a date.
09:34Yeah, the date.
09:35Happy birthday.
09:35Happy birthday.
09:35Happy birthday.
09:37Happy birthday.
09:38Happy birthday.
09:39Happy birthday.
09:40Happy birthday.
09:41Happy birthday.
09:42Happy birthday.
09:43Happy birthday.
09:44Happy birthday.
09:45Yeah, all right.
09:46Keep your head on.
09:48Right, I said I don't know if I have six.
09:49Are you ready or not?
09:50Here I go.
09:51Ha!
09:52Same again when you got a many heels?
09:54No.
09:55Happy birthday.
09:56Yay!
09:57Woo!
09:59Hello, darling.
10:00Hello, dear.
10:02Hello, love you, الس Lang.
10:06Hi, my sir.
10:08Hi, my sir.
10:08Hi, my sir.
10:10Hi, my sir.
10:11Hi, my sir.
10:12Hi, my sir.
10:13Where did you not come from?
10:15Er, you left to watch.
10:16No, about that.
10:17I told you, if you all come round to open the time,
10:20you'll get a free drink.
10:21I told you, I should have been the marketing manager.
10:24Woo!
10:25Come here.
10:33How you doing?
10:35Top of the world by me.
10:38Have you been in touch for the clinic or anything?
10:42No, I don't think I could face it on my own.
10:46Well, if you wanted, I could come with you if it helps.
10:51No, it's not that.
10:53It's just, I don't really know what I want.
10:56You said that you wanted...
10:57Yeah, I know, but my grandma's been on at me to not rush into anything.
11:01You told Sookie?
11:02Yeah, but she found me looking at abortion clinics online.
11:04I had to.
11:07I mean, she might have a point, though.
11:09Definitely something that needs some thought.
11:12Make sure you're doing the right thing.
11:15Yeah.
11:16The right thing.
11:20It's about my granddaughter, Avani.
11:28She wants an abortion.
11:30I see.
11:35I don't think...
11:39She's in turmoil.
11:44But a pregnancy, it's God's will.
11:47Has she said why she doesn't want to keep the baby?
11:51I don't think she really knows what she wants.
11:54I just saw doubt.
12:01What is it that I can do?
12:02When Ashneet had her abortion, I'd advised against it.
12:15I felt, erm...
12:19I felt such shame and guilt for her.
12:22You know, this sadness and loss.
12:28And anger that she wasn't feeling it too.
12:35And that feeling has never left me.
12:40It pushed her away.
12:41And I don't want Avani to ever feel that way, so...
12:48Should I try and influence her decision?
12:51All you can do in this situation is support her.
12:56Whatever she decides.
12:57Surely the best option is for both of them to be able to live happy lives.
13:02Her and her baby, no?
13:06Your concern comes from a place of love.
13:09Are you gonna...
13:11With love comes respect.
13:15You say you want to do everything you can for Avani,
13:18but if she sees your help as being conditional...
13:21Then you can face a similar outcome.
13:23Are you willing to risk losing her too?
13:25Go, darling.
13:27On the ass.
13:29Oi, you've gotta stop doing that.
13:31I will never stop.
13:33No.
13:35I will never stop.
13:37No.
13:38I will never stop.
13:40No.
13:42I will never stop.
13:44I will never stop.
13:46I will never stop.
13:48I will never stop.
13:49I will never stop.
13:50Never.
13:52You should've seen Tommy's face when we moved in.
13:54He's so happy.
13:55It's all down to you.
13:57You just gutted Alfie in here.
13:59You would've loved all this.
14:01Listen to me.
14:03This is about what Alfie needs, not what I want.
14:06What are you two gassing about?
14:08Alfie, it'd be life and soul I'd party.
14:10There's no guarantee Hayley would've got that money.
14:12Stacey did absolutely the right thing.
14:14Hayley? What's wrong?
14:16It's a total scam.
14:17I wouldn't be surprised if Hayley had planned the whole thing herself.
14:20What are you talking about?
14:22Jean, can you do me a favour?
14:23Yes.
14:24Yes.
14:25Jean, I...
14:27What's Hayley got to do with anything?
14:30Right, so, Alfie...
14:32Well, she got herself into trouble and Alfie was trying to help her.
14:36But, erm...
14:37What?
14:38She...
14:40What? Where?
14:41I don't know.
14:42I don't know, but...
14:43These blokes reckon they know where she is and they'll tell Alfie for a price, so I was gonna give him that money, but...
14:49Yeah, but why should she go to Alfie? He hasn't seen her in years. And who are these blokes?
14:53He told me he was gonna get his head together. He said the cancer...
15:02Oh, right, that's where he's been. Looking for Hayley.
15:06He's been lying, Kit.
15:08He's been lying about his cancer scare and you knew.
15:14Oh, Kat.
15:20Lily.
15:21Can't really talk right now.
15:22You're a bit hectic.
15:24Oh, no, it's good, it's good. It's just a few teething problems.
15:27But, listen, I'll call you back later, okay?
15:29Give Charlie a kiss from me.
15:31How's Lily?
15:32Oh, yeah, she's good, yeah.
15:34Must be hard for her, being away, looking after Charlie on her own.
15:37Oh, she's not on her own.
15:39And anyway, Charlie's been the making of her.
15:41Well, that's good.
15:42Yes, it is.
15:44Obviously, there's a few challenges and...
15:47Goodness knows how she's gonna cope once she wants to start a career, but...
15:50She wouldn't change it for the world.
15:52And anyway, we're all there if needs be.
15:54Paper cups.
15:55But don't sound wonderful.
16:02How could Alfie lie about something like that?
16:03He was trying to do the right thing.
16:04The right thing?
16:05This is just mad.
16:06Yeah, I know, but...
16:07Are Hayley and Cherry in danger?
16:08Eh?
16:09Does he even know where they are?
16:10I don't know.
16:11Why?
16:12Why would you even lie to me?
16:13Well, he knew how you'd be about him having anything to do with Hayley and he knew you'd want him to put you in the kids first.
16:20Oh, don't give me all that.
16:21I know exactly what it's like not having your daughter in your life.
16:24Cat, I'm sorry.
16:25Alright, I'm sorry.
16:26I'm sorry.
16:27I wasn't thinking straight.
16:28I just don't think so.
16:29I don't think so.
16:30Yeah, I don't think so.
16:31I don't think so.
16:32I don't think so.
16:33I don't think so.
16:34I don't think so.
16:35I don't think so.
16:36I don't think so.
16:37I don't think so.
16:38I don't think so.
16:39I'm sorry.
16:40Alright?
16:41I'm sorry.
16:42I weren't thinking straight.
16:43What with everything that's gone on, my head's all over the place.
16:46That ain't an excuse.
16:47Alright?
16:48But we'll sort it.
16:50We'll find Hayley and we'll make it all alright.
16:52I promise.
16:53You should have been straight with me from the start, alright?
16:56Alfie knows that nothing would stop me trying to find my kid and he knows that I'd do anything to help him find his.
17:02Not that he deserves it.
17:03Lying into my face.
17:05He wanted to tell you, Cat.
17:07Anything Alfie's done, he's done it out of love for you.
17:10Look, all this, all this, yeah, is a fresh start for my family.
17:14But what good is that?
17:15What good is that if we're not honest with each other?
17:20What's happened now?
17:21We're drinking out of cups.
17:22There's a glass washer packed up, found this twisted up inside.
17:34I'm in!
17:35Oh!
17:36The spirits have arrived!
17:37Can you turn the music off, please?
17:39You'll never take me alive, poppers.
17:40I'm only joking.
17:41You can take me whichever way you like.
17:42Oh!
17:43Oh!
17:44Oh!
17:45Oh!
17:46Oh!
17:47Oh, my God!
17:48Oh!
17:49Oh!
17:50Oh!
17:51Oh!
17:52Oh!
17:53Oh!
17:54Oh!
17:55Oh!
17:56Oh.
17:57Take me alive, poppers.
17:59I'm only joking. You can take me whichever way you like.
18:07OK. Looking good, Louis. Yeah.
18:11OK, I see you.
18:16You've been having lessons? You don't want to help me.
18:27Mike, don't let me stop him, mate.
18:30Who's that? I dig it in.
18:33It's, er...
18:35He's...
18:36Mike's an old mate of mine.
18:45OK. Look, you keep dancing, yeah?
18:47Keep an eye on Jimmy for me.
18:49Me and Mike, we're just gonna have a little chat, all right?
18:51It's all good.
18:52Yeah, it's all good. Yeah, shoulders.
18:54You're Elaine, Peacock.
19:08Cat!
19:10We've had multiple complaints.
19:12Quiet!
19:13We could report you to the local authority.
19:15We only grave your licence.
19:16Quiet now!
19:18I'm done, I'm done.
19:19Listen, this is my first day, please.
19:22Yes!
19:23Yeah, come on!
19:28Right, can you please move outside?
19:31A bit of music and her knees up.
19:33Oddly a hanging offence, is it?
19:35Outraging public decency.
19:37What?
19:39Your friend here exposed herself in the middle of the square.
19:42Mum, the ladies was chump a block.
19:45Oh, no.
19:47Come on, now take it all off.
19:51I know what you're at.
19:53Right.
19:54I'm arresting you for being drunk and disorderly.
19:57Oh!
19:58Oh!
19:59What?
20:00What?
20:01What's with the jury?
20:02I've done nothing!
20:03You can sleep it off down the station.
20:04No!
20:05Hey!
20:06Hey!
20:07Hey!
20:08Justice for now!
20:09Justice for now!
20:10Justice for now!
20:11Great day one, yeah?
20:12My family lies to me and my nan gets nicked.
20:15Come on, you've got to go.
20:17Come on, you lot.
20:18I'm sorry.
20:19Ow!
20:20Oh, my God!
20:21Oh, my God!
20:22Oh, my God!
20:23Oh, my God!
20:24Oh, my God!
20:25Oh, my God!
20:26Oh, my God!
20:27Oh, my God!
20:28All right, this is Alfie Moon.
20:29Please leave a message.
20:30Alfie, it's me.
20:33Cat knows.
20:34She knows we lied, so you need to come back to Warford now.
20:45Look, whatever you want to do, not here, all right?
20:47You ain't in a position to tell me what I can and can't do, mate.
20:49There's kids here.
20:50Yeah?
20:51Well, that's very much a you problem, innit?
20:54Michael, did you really think you could cross me up and just disappear?
20:58How'd you find me?
21:00Come on, mate.
21:02You and me both know you can go to the ends of the earth,
21:05but you'll never be somewhere I can't get to you.
21:08Not really.
21:09Mate, we can totally...
21:10We can totally sort this out, all right?
21:12Oscar!
21:13Hope you're hungry.
21:14We've got you a doggy bag.
21:15I'll get rid of them, all right?
21:17I'll get rid of them, all right?
21:18Just don't do anything, please.
21:19Right.
21:20All right.
21:29Wasn't expecting you for ages.
21:30Didn't fancy a pint-nots all that grow.
21:32Oh, no.
21:33We couldn't possibly.
21:34We are 98% Jalfrezy, honestly.
21:36Yeah.
21:37Anything all right with the boys?
21:38Hmm?
21:39Yeah.
21:40Just...
21:41Yeah, we're just here.
21:42You all right?
21:43Yeah.
21:44Yeah.
21:45Can I stop dancing now?
21:49What's going on?
21:50Yeah, good girl.
21:51Hello.
21:52What are you off to?
21:53I'm just like Pops, Albert.
21:54Cos, er, knowing the Slaters, the Vic's probably just rumbling in by now.
22:10Listen, I'm sorry about earlier.
22:11About how I've been.
22:12I think, erm...
22:13I think Vinny got to me more than I realised.
22:17All the words he said.
22:18Made me think if he had a point.
22:19What do you mean?
22:20What do you think I'm the sort of mum he makes me out to be?
22:35He was upset.
22:36He was trying to hurt you.
22:37You can't take that stuff to heart.
22:43I mean, sure, you know, given a new start, you might do the odd thing differently.
22:49In a few little tweaks.
22:54But you'd still be as much of a warrior.
23:00Protecting your kids as you always have, no matter what.
23:03No doubt.
23:07You know, all any of us can do is try our best.
23:10And you have.
23:12So...
23:16Why don't you stop feeling sorry for yourself and come out with me?
23:21I'll, erm...
23:23I'll catch you up.
23:25I just need to make a phone call.
23:27Okay.
23:28Okay.
23:29Okay.
23:31What?
23:32Avani.
23:47Avani.
23:57Cat.
23:58If we're helping Alfie with Hayley, I need to know we're all singing off the same hymn sheet, yeah?
24:04Of course, mate.
24:06I know what you're going through, losing Martin.
24:09But there are only a few people in this world that I really trust, proper trust.
24:13And you and Alfie are two of them.
24:15So I need to know that's still the case, all right?
24:18Yeah.
24:19No more secrets. Anything I need to know, just spit it out.
24:23Why don't you ring Alfie and get things straight?
24:25I can't face that right now. I'm too knackered.
24:28There's a chance of me climbing down the phone and frottling him.
24:30I'll have a decent night's sleep.
24:32Look, just...
24:33We can leave this till in the morning. Go on, you get home.
24:37Why?
24:40Stace.
24:42No more lies.
24:43No more lies.
24:59I just want to say that I'm, I'm, I'm really sorry, you know, I, I know I've not been honest
25:28with you about everything that's, that's happened, you know, but, you know, I, I, I did it
25:34for, for all the right, all, all, all, all the best reasons, you know, I did it for you,
25:41that's, okay, you know, when, um, you know, when, you know, when you, you know, when you
25:48came round to Stacey's Airbnb, all right, well, Zoe, Zoe, she was, she was there, she was
26:00there, but, you know, she's, uh, she wasn't, she wasn't in a good place, you know, she
26:07was in trouble, and she needed money, and, you know, I, I really, I really, really did
26:15my best, Kat, to, to bring her back to Walford, I really did my best, and I know, I know,
26:27okay, you're, you're going to hate me right now, you're going to hate me, but, I don't,
26:37I don't want to lose you, Kat, I can't, I can't lose you, I don't want to lose you.
26:41Varnie, I am sorry, but I cannot support your decision.
26:56Okay, well, I don't care whether you support my decision or not, I ain't having a baby.
27:01Right, Varnie, listen to me, I...
27:02No, I don't know what you actually expect me to do.
27:05I expect you to be brave, and strong, and...
27:07You're not listening.
27:08And I will help you every step of the way, Varnie.
27:12No, no, I can't, okay?
27:14I just, I can't.
27:15I'm not ready to raise a child.
27:18I'm not ready to be a mum, okay?
27:23Well, maybe you don't have to be.
27:25What are you even talking about?
27:28Well, you have the baby.
27:31But you don't have to raise it.
27:34What do you mean?
27:36Who's...
27:37I ain't having some stranger.
27:40You're not a stranger.
27:43Me.
27:46I'll do it.
27:49Do what?
27:52I'll raise your child.
27:55As my own.
