13/08/2012 EastEnders

You gotta help me, Phil. Please. I don't know what to do.

I just don't know what to do.

-Sharon, what is it? What's happened?

-Sharon?

I'm in trouble, Phil. I'm in real trouble.

Just come in, yeah? Come in.

I didn't know where else to go. I...

-Look, you're all right. You're all right.

-Sharon? Your ex?

Just get her a glass of water, will you.

Sharon?

Give her some room, will you? Just give her some room.

ROXY LAUGHS

What's she come as?

This is Sharon. That's Ben there, you remember?

Billy now ain't the time, all right.

-That's Lola, she's my grandaughter...

-Billy!

-Roxy, me and Phil's cousin.

-Billy!

-All right, I'm sorry.

Just give us a moment, please, will you? Just give us a moment.

All right.

This is meant to be our day, Phil.

Shirley, what d'you want me to do, eh?

What's happened?

It's Dennis.

It's my little boy, Dennis.

Look, just forget it, yeah? Forget I said anything.

I was shouting my mouth off. You know what I'm like.

I speak before I think. I didn't mean anything by it.

Oh, so my husband says that he doesn't love me.

On my wedding day. And it doesn't mean anything.

You're taking it the wrong way.

How could I possibly take that the right way?

Janine, he loves you. And he loves Scarlett.

Please, please don't do anything stupid.

It's too late for that. Cos I've already married him.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Alfie.

Come on, we better go.

Yeah, yeah, we'll leave you guys to it. Say bye-bye. Say bye.

Bye.

Are you going too?

I'm going to work. See ya.

Everything was set. I was all ready, and...

I was in the wedding car on the way there.

And I don't know what happened. I...I couldn't breathe.

I felt like I was drowning.

Like my whole life was one big lie. D'you know what I mean?

So I get there and I said to John that I...my fiance, John,

I said, "I don't think I can do this."

He was mad, I could tell he was fuming

but he said to just go outside and get some air

and come back when I was feeling better. And I don't know.

I don't know what I was thinking and I just...

I just walked away.

And I kept on walking and I got in a cab and...

I left him.

SHE SOBS

I left my little boy.

Ian?

Ian!

He was asleep on the sofa and I took my eye off him for a second.

Do you think he's run off again?

Them poor kids if he has.

I could tell he had so much he wanted to say

but he hardly said a word.

Poor bloke. What he must've been through.

Yeah, I know, but leaving your family,

there's no excuse for that really, is there?

It's this one.

I don't know where they'll be. Maybe still at the hotel.

Send someone else with her. Send Billy.

She's not your problem.

-She's just a friend who needs help.

-She weren't just a friend, was she?

So? Trust me. You do trust me, don't you?

Course I do.

I'll be waiting for you.

PHONE RINGS

Butcher's Joints?

Jamie, yeah, hello. Yeah, I'm fine.

It's the, uh... Yeah, the purchase contract, yeah.

I've got it here and I will have it for this afternoon.

All right.

So, he's traded you in for a younger model, has he?

What?

Phil. I seen him with that dolly bird.

Well, how about that.

Well, I'd keep an eye on him if I was you, grandma.

It's hard to keep hold of a bloke

-when your teeth are in a jar by the bed.

-SHE LAUGHS

Oh, come on. Come on, I was joking.

It was clearly a joke.

Anyway, I called Carly. I had a word with her.

-What did you do that for?

-Well, I just told her it's pathetic.

The two of you not talking. Life's too short.

Come on, Shirl, let bygones be bygones and all that.

Bet she loved you for that.

Well, no. But give her time, you know. She will.

She will, Shirl. Eventually.

We both know that that's not true.

She sent a lovely card.

You can pop in later if you like? Shirley?

Oh, could you give Jay a message for me?

Well, what got her knickers in a twist?

Bobby.

It's all right.

He ain't going to hurt you.

I ain't going to let him hurt you.

Come on.

This contract's for the benefit of...

Shall be binding upon the heirs, executors and administrators,

and assigned to the individual parties.

Yeah, all that copper pot, stuff.

All changes in number and gender will be required...

I'll call you back, Jamie.

What are you doing?! What? Are you mental?

I've come to my senses.

SHE LOCKS THE DOOR

What is wrong with you? What am I supposed to have done?

-So she was with Grant.

-And then she was with Phil.

They always used to like sharing things.

Ah, bless her, look.

Community service took it right out of her.

It's all right, I got it.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

You got her?

That's it, that's it.

BILLY LAUGHS

-Suits you, mate.

-He's a natural, ain't he?

All right?

Yeah, I'm fine. Wait there a sec.

-Come on, party's over.

-It was just starting to get interesting.

Shirl, you ain't got to worry about anything dodgy going on

with Phil and Sharon.

I mean, she's with someone new now, isn't she?

Didn't stop 'em last time. Ow, I'm just saying.

Come on.

What you doing?

Well, I'm going to clean him up.

This rough and ready look you got going on, it's not working.

Go on.

There you go.

You said Dad was with Peter.

I know.

So was that a lie?

Look, I didn't know where he was, all right. I'm sorry.

I want to see him.

No! Not yet.

He's really ill.

Why?

Well, he hasn't had anywhere to sleep.

He's been living on the streets.

But he does. He has here.

So, why doesn't he come home?

So who is he? This geezer?

John? Regular at the bar I worked in.

You been with him long?

Six months. Quick work, right?

He was nice. Polite, good job, but...

I don't know.

You don't love him.

Is that a question or a statement?

And how long you been back?

Couple of weeks.

John wanted us to get married with his family there.

-You were back but you didn't call?

-What would you have done if I had?

-So you're getting married.

-Yeah.

She doesn't seem your normal type.

And what's my normal type?

Can we go faster, Phil, please?

Look, you don't tell her anything, all right? You don't say anything.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

What?

What?!

There's some clean towels on the drier downstairs.

Ben.

OK.

Hey, Ben, come back to ours for a cuppa?

-No, I can't.

-Suit yourself. Jay! Lo!

-Right behind ya.

BOTH: J-lo!

BABY CRIES

Don't watch my passport photo. I know I look a bit loco.

Dizzee Rascal?

Yeah, she likes Dizzee Rascal.

Don't you, eh?

-See? That was a smile there.

-I don't think so.

That was a smile, wasn't it, eh?

My favourite little girl.

Jay?

What?

What, you nutcase?

Sorry. Um...

Bobby probably didn't recognise you.

To be honest, I hardly do.

What happened, Ian?

What was so bad that you wanted to leave everything behind?

Here you go.

You help yourself.

-Sharon!

-Nina.

I can't believe this. What happened?

-Look, where's your brother?

-Where d'you think? Who's this?

-John's still here?

-Yeah, of course he is. He's waiting for you.

I said to him, "I know Sharon.

"She ain't going to leave you like that."

-John.

-What did I tell you? Didn't I say she'd come back?

I'm just here for Dennis.

Where is he?

-After everything I done?

-Where is he?

Where's her son?

-I don't want to play games no more.

-I ain't the one who plays games.

Denny?

Denny.

Come here, come here.

D'you think something happened before he left?

Something drove him away?

Why don't you give Dad a bell, eh? See how he's doing.

You know, everyone says it was that little hussy that broke is heart.

But it don't make sense to me.

I mean, he had everything else, didn't he? He had family.

Money. And he still walks away.

Don't you care Dad's off with his ex?

It's called trust, Ben. Stop going on about it.

No, it must've been some sort of breakdown.

Friend of mine had one of them at school.

Ended up doing herself in.

He's been a long time in there, ain't he?

SHE KNOCKS ON DOOR

Ian?

SHE KNOCKS HARDER

Ian!

Men. Can't leave 'em to do anything on their own.

It's OK, I'll do it.

It's all right. I can handle it, Ben.

Come on.

Are all women mental or is it just the ones I go for?

-Just the ones you go for.

-Why, what's Janine done now?

I'm in the office, right. Doing nothing.

-Working. Minding my own business. She walks in...

-And threw you out?

Oh, I'd've paid good money to have seen that.

Probably hormones.

I'm not so sure.

Maybe she needs some reassurance.

Maybe you need to tell her that you love her every now and again.

-Why's that? Did she say something?

-No.

-She said something when you went round there.

-No.

-Did you say something?

-No.

-HE LAUGHS

-You're so transparent. What did you say?

-She was being a right moody cow.

-What did you say to her?

Look, it's not my fault that she's paranoid.

-She kept pushing and pushing.

-Paranoid about what?

I told her she was being stupid.

What did you say to her? What? Come on.

She thinks you don't love her.

And I sort of mentioned what you told me on your wedding day.

Did you?

I didn't tell her everything.

1979 Prestige.

I was saving this for a special occasion.

Who are you?

-An old friend.

-Oh, yeah?

Got you wrapped round her little finger an' all?

Old friend?

I could've had my pick, you know.

I wasn't exactly short on offers. Should've known though, eh.

It's always the pretty ones you gotta watch.

You see, they think they're above you.

Think they can just walk all over you.

You get me?

Are we moving again?

I don't know.

Where to this time?

I don't know, baby, OK.

Don't worry. I'll look after you.

We'll both look after each other, yeah? Come on.

D'you know how much money he's thrown at this?

How much money he's spent on you? And him?

Nina, do what you're good at, have a drink.

He picked you out of the gutter.

I weren't in no gutter.

A barmaid in a low-cut top.

As good as. You were just using him, weren't you?

I hope you rot!

Phil.

DOOR OPENS

Whitney? Whit?

SHE SIGHS

I sent her home.

Where have you been?

Walking.

Ask me. Go on, ask the question.

If it was just me and Scarlett and no money...

Yeah, I'd still be here. Wouldn't I?

Yeah.

No. No, you wouldn't.

Yes, I would.

Did you really say that to Kat?

Did you really, honestly say that on our wedding day?

Say what?

That you didn't love me?

No.

Do you love me?

Yeah.

I don't believe you.

Well, she's going to have to trust me, isn't she?

And what if she can't?

We'll have to call it a day.

Hey, Sharon. Hang on. Hang on. What, is that it?

-No explanation? No apology?

-She's said all she's got to say.

I don't even get five minutes?

I mean, all right, so we had a few arguments.

But we've got something, Sharon.

It might not be perfect but we've got something, right?

Five minutes. I at least deserve that, don't I?

Please?

Denny. Mummy and John are just going to have a little chat. OK, sweetie?

Friends again?

How about you and me go and get an ice cream?

Here. See?

It's much better.

Ian.

Ian, I understand.

I understand what it's like to run away when things get tough.

I did it myself years back.

I ran away from my kids.

Carly and Deano.

I understand, Ian, but it doesn't solve anything.

It's not the answer.

What?

Go get him one of Phil's old shirts.

And keep an eye on him. I won't be long.

Yeah, OK.

Is it him? That bloke that brought you here?

No!

It is, isn't it?

He's getting married.

Well, I don't get it, Sharon.

I mean, what is it you want, eh?

Beautiful house?

Your own car? Holiday three times a year?

Shopping trips whenever you want? Dennis in a fantastic school?

Cos I can give you all of that.

I know.

So?

I want Dennis to be happy.

I want to be happy. And we ain't.

John, I'm sorry. I really am.

Oi, come here. Come on.

I think you should go over there.

I think you should go home and give Lucy and Bobby a big hug.

Cos I mean, there ain't enough room for you here, Ian.

D'you understand?

You shouldn't be here.

I mean, everything's good at the minute. Dad's happy.

Shirley's happy.

And I wouldn't want anyone to get in the way of that.

Cos if they did...

There we go. Perfect.

Please don't ruin everything, Ian.

Don't you dare. Don't you dare walk away from me.

I picked you up. I made you.

You didn't make me.

You were nothing. You were nobody. Does he know, eh? Your friend?

Does he know your dirty little secret, eh?

No. And he ain't going to.

Maybe you think you can do better than me?

Is that it, eh?

Well, I got news for you, sweetheart,

take a long hard look in the mirror, cos you're old.

You're old and you're faded and you're on the shelf.

And ain't nobody ever going to want to be with you.

Say that again.

Why? What you going to do, punch me?

I ain't decided.

ITEMS CLATTER ONTO THE FLOOR

You're going to regret this, I promise you that.

Right, she's asleep. And you are out of nappies.

That was a mistake.

I'll go and get some more in a little while.

It ain't about the nappies, Jay.

Yeah, I know that.

Look, I'm just going to say it, all right.

You definitely ain't no Ashton Kutcher,

but you really make me laugh and you love Lexi and she loves you and...

Look, I'm not saying I'm head over heels or anything

but I just think we could have a nice time.

But if that ain't what you want then it's no biggie.

You ain't no Cheryl Cole.

You're all right.

And you make me laugh.

Yes, I do love Lexi.

And I definitely think that we could have something nice.

But things are just a little bit...

Just a little bit mental at the minute.

So we'll just take it nice and slow.

OK.

Why am I still holding this dirty nappy?

-Cos it's your baby.

-Yeah, but it's dirty. Jay!

Go away. Go away. Go away.

-SHE GIGGLES

-Don't be so childish.

All right?

What nappies does she have?

I dunno, nappy's a nappy, innit?

All right, fay knights!

Yeah, that means like... Go away!

THEY ALL LAUGH

-What's that for?

-Dunno, things are just really good at the minute.

Yeah, they are.

I'm fine. Really.

You've done the right thing.

About time, eh? Think I'd've learnt by now, right?

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself.

Where's Denny?

Denny?!

Hello, Jay. Oi! Jay!

Are you ignoring me?

No. Sorry. I was, sorry.

You were, weren't you?

That's a bit rude, innit.

Abi's got a message for you.

She's going to be home in a couple of weeks.

She wanted me to tell you so I have.

Keep it.

Are you sure?

Here.

Here you go. Keep all of it.

Next time you speak to her would you just...

What?

Nothing. Who am I kidding?

Shirley. Shirl! Wait.

Here.

It's the nicest one, I think.

Shirley?

Phil!

Where did you get it?

What, the photo?

The frame. Where did you get the frame?

-I don't know.

-Where d'you get it, Denise?!

It was just from Kim. I don't know where...

Shirl, you're scaring me.

It's Heather's. It's Hev's.

John! John, wait!

-You brought this on yourself, Sharon.

-No! Denny!

Mum!

Denny!
