MUSIC: "Walking In A Winter Wonderland"

Mum, what did you say to Joey?

Nothing.

No, I saw you. I saw you talking to him.

I asked him why he was going and he wouldn't tell me, so...

Oi! Stripper girls! Grab him.

Get your kit off!

THEY SCREAM

Girls. Stop, stop, stop girls. Oi, oi, B.

B. Listen, I need to be somewhere. Just stop.

I don't know what the word means. Come on, strip!

Stop. Stop. Kim! Just back off. Stop all right.

KIM: You ain't even all that anyway!

Mum? Are you gonna tell me or what, eh?

Oh, darling, can we talk about this another time? I need to get in there.

Make sure your dad's not proposed to his stripper. Wait up!

LAUGHTER AND CHEERING

Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me!

MEN SHOUT AND LAUGH

MAN SPEAKS INAUDIBLY THROUGH INTERCOM

BUZZER

Where is he?

Alfie, wait...

Where is he?

-Who? I don't know what you're talking about...

-Don't lie to me!

There's no-one here.

I want the truth, all right? Now where?

He's not here.

-So where is he?

-I don't know.

-What do you mean, you don't know?

-I've got no idea.

Then why are you here then?

Not that it really matters.

This is nothing to do with me.

-Really?

-Nothing. Nothing at all.

So what, this is the usual decor, is it?

Candles? Rose petals?

Alfie, listen to me...

No. No, no, no, no, no. No, you listen to me.

No more lies. Tell me where he is.

Now. Where? Where?

I don't know. I got this message.

I was told to, I had to come... he hasn't arrived.

So he's coming?

I don't know. I suppose. I guess. I don't know.

You don't know much, do you, Kat?

You've got this so wrong.

I know.

Oh yeah.

I trusted you.

And this is how you repay me.

-Alfie listen to me. Just listen to me for one minute.

-Stop, stop, stop.

Right, this bloke, I assume it's the same bloke.

-Unless of course you've got someone new?

-Of course not.

OK. This same bloke.

The same stud that you were messing around with.

The one that you told him it was off, in front of me in the kitchen.

-Do you remember that?

-Yes. I did.

Yeah. The one that lived nowhere near here.

The one that lived miles away.

What, you got nothing to say?

You gonna deny it?

That was the only lie. But the rest was true.

A little lie.

Like, it's just down the road from our house...

where our baby Tommy lives.

Look at me while I'm talking.

Where we work, where we spend time with our friends.

You had your little seedy shag pad for one thing and one thing only.

That's not true.

So what? What - have I got it wrong have I, Kat?

Really? What, you two just get together, what - exchange recipes?

-I'm sorry.

-You're sorry?

I didn't want you to find out like this.

It doesn't matter how I found out? The point is you are here, waiting for him.

-I'm not.

-So what then?

-I am trying to get him off my back.

I am trying to make him to leave me alone.

Listen to you... You know what?

You know what, I will tell little white lies.

But you, sweetheart, you, you just take it to another level.

It's the truth. I lied about meeting him here tonight. I don't know why, I was scared.

But the rest is true. I did end it with him.

Then when we came back here. He was pestering me.

He was sending me messages, presents.

And I told him to get lost and he wouldn't take no for an answer, all right?

And then tonight he sent me a message,

and he said that he'd tell you and he'd tell everyone. So I came here to meet him.

To look him in the eye and tell him to leave me alone.

It's over.

That's all you wanted to do?

Yes.

Nothing else?

No.

And you haven't seen him? You haven't been with him?

No. That's what I keep telling you.

So why have you got this then?

I got rid of it. I dumped it. I did.

And he sent it back.

And that's it, is it? That's all he sent, yeah?

Phone calls. Messages. It's been a nightmare.

I've wanted to talk to you about it.

Right. Nothing else? No jewellery?

What?

No rings?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about this. Do you recognise it, yeah?

This is your Mum's engagement ring.

It was hidden.

Hidden in your knicker drawer.

How come you've got it when you told me you'd pawned it

and it had gone for good?

I got it back.

How?

How?!

He bought it back.

He gave it to me.

What, he did?

Yeah. He sent it to me.

I didn't ask him to, he just did.

How did he know about it?

Hmm?

How did he know about it, Kat?

You said you haven't seen him or you haven't been with him.

How did he know anything about it?

I, I...

Take your time, yeah?

-I don't know.

-You didn't tell him?

Maybe. I can't remember.

You haven't seen him?

Not really.

What does not really mean?

Not alone.

Then with who? With who, Kat?

-I don't know how he knew.

-You didn't tell him, did you?

-No.

-No.

-No. I swear.

No? Then who did, eh? Who?

No...

Is this someone... is this someone we know?

-It is, isn't it?

-No.

You said to me.

You said this had nothing to do with our lives.

You said that.

-Alfie, please.

-Is this someone who drinks...

Someone that's a regular in the Vic?

Oh, no, is this one of our mates?

No. He's just a bloke. Just a dodgy bloke. He followed me.

He kept after me. He wouldn't leave me alone.

And this?

I must have told him. He just wanted to get me back.

Who is he, Kat?

It doesn't matter.

No, it does matter.

I can stay here all night if I have to.

I can wait here till that sleazebag comes through that door.

No, you can't.

Yes I can. Cos I can sit right here.

He won't even turn up.

No? He's gone to all this effort.

Or is it you that's done all this, is it?

No, he's busy. He's got a lot on.

He's busy, is he? What's more important, eh?

Than him getting his end away with the local bike?

No, I wouldn't let him. I swear. I wouldn't let him.

Alfie listen to me, right.

When we got back, he came on so strong.

He left the key on the bar and he told me to meet him...

he told me to meet him here.

And I didn't know what to do, I just wanted to get rid of him.

So I came here, right, and I left a message on the mirror.

With lipstick. Look. Look, it's still there.

Look. I wrote all over the mirror, "Kat loves Alfie."

He wouldn't take any notice. He wouldn't listen to me.

I phoned him, I texted him.

I left a message saying I'd never come here again.

I was desperate. I just wanted him to leave me alone. To leave us alone.

Alfie, we could be so happy. There's nothing going on.

Look, I don't want anyone but you.

I don't believe you. I don't believe you.

It's true.

Only the other day he said he was gonna sign another lease on this place!

Another six months. And I told him no.

But he wouldn't listen to me.

I told him I never want to touch him again, but he just went ahead

and done it anyway.

He wouldn't take no for an answer.

Well when he gets here. You can tell him again can't you.

With me watching.

He's not gonna come here.

Tell me, Kat. Tell me who it is.

Please don't do this.

Fine. It's OK.

Cos I can stay here all night.

Might even have a lie down, eh? Comfy bed.

Try out the springs.

What's the matter, Mrs Moon?

You got nothing to say?

What is it?

Why don't we go somewhere, why don't we go somewhere to talk...

-Oi, oi, Kat, what are you doing? Kat!

-No, leave it.

-What are you doing?

-No, leave it!

-What is that?

-Leave it, it's nothing!

-What are you doing?

-It's nothing!

-What is it you're trying to hide?

-Just leave it.

-Get off me. Get off!

-No! No!

-What are you trying to hide?

Leave it!

Branning?

Of course. Of course, they knew about the ring.

Cos I told 'em. I told them in the kitchen,

when I told them what an amazing wife I had.

All them months in the pub.

Us giggling and having a laugh and you next to me...

The football...

and the market, the Christmas market.

Is that... One of them got me the ticket?

To get me out the way? Is that what happened?

I told you not to go. I begged you not to go.

-He did and you knew?!

-That's not what I'm saying. He put pressure on me.

It was going on while I was out the way?

-No...

-Is that what happened?

He came round, yeah.

He knocked and knocked, but I wouldn't let him in.

Which one?

Which one is it?

It doesn't matter.

It does to me! It matters to me.

It's over.

What, is it Jack? Is it square-jawed Jack?

What, still going on about the Tommy thing? Has it been going on that long?

-No, of course not.

-What about Derek. Is it Derek, eh? Slimeball Derek?

I'm asking you a question.

I'm not answering. I'm not telling you.

OK, what Max? Max Branning? Is it Max Branning?

He's in the pub now, having his stag. He's getting married tomorrow.

He's having a few problems. What did you do, steam in there, take advantage?

Is that what you did, huh?

No. I ain't done nothing like that. It's not me. It's him.

He came at me. He wouldn't take no for an answer.

I'm serious right, Kat.

You tell me otherwise I will not be answerable for my actions.

What are you gonna do? You gonna hurt me?

You gonna whack me? Go on. Go on, do it. Hit me.

Hit me. Cos I deserve it. Just do whatever you want.

But please, please, please don't give up on me.

Just don't give up on me.

I can't... I can't...

I can't stand the sight of you right now.

I can't bear to be this close to you now.

You make me sick.

-You don't mean that.

-You - you're disgusting.

-You don't mean that.

-Really? Look at me. Look at me.

Look at me, tell me I don't mean it. Tell me I don't mean it.

Which one?

Jack, Derek, Max?

Which one?

I can't. I can't. It won't help.

Really? Let me tell you something, it'll help me.

No. No you think it will but it won't.

What are you so worried about? What are you so scared about?

It's about you and me. You'll get hurt. You'll make it worse.

Worse? This is as bad as it's gonna get.

I'm asking you one...

one more time. Which one is it?

Tell me.

No.

Fine.

Alfie? Alfie, where you going? Come back, what are you going to do?

-Well if you won't tell me. I'll find out myself.

-No, Alfie, you can't.

They'll all be over there! Everyone will be drunk, Alfie! You can't.

Get your filthy hands off me!

Alfie!

CHATTER AND LAUGHTER

Oi, Lauren, what are you doing? Get down from there.

You'll break your neck. Get down!

I can't get down. I'm the main event. I'm the stripper.

Excuse me, everyone, I think my daughter needs to go home and sober up.

-I don't think she does actually.

-She does.

-She needs to get the most drunk she has ever been before.

-Out.

What do you reckon, Alfie?

I reckon I should drink this pub dry?

All right there, Alf? Thought you'd done a runner, mate.

-You all right, Alfie?

-You all right, mate?

-You want a drink?

Which one of you is it?

What?

Which one?

-What you on about?

-Which one of you has been shagging my wife?

-You what?

-You heard. I've just come from the flat. Kat's there waiting.

-All sexy. Candles and romantic.

-Alfie?

-Shut up, Tanya.

-Oi, oi. Alfie, come on, mate.

Come on what, Max? Touched a little bone have I?

Something you want to tell me?

I ain't got a clue what you're talking about.

Are you deaf or something? One of you is having an affair with my wife.

So. Which one? Which one?

I think you've had a bit too much to drink, Alf, ain't ya?

-I haven't touched a drop.

-Let's go outside.

Get your hands off me. Unless it's you. Is it you, Jack?

Messing around on Sharon, are you? Pulling at her heart strings?

"Oh, let me talk about me dead son. I'm so sad."

Why don't you comfort me?

-Now you're treading a fine line.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Is it you, Derek? Yeah? What, did you force her?

Did you pay her? She like it rough does she?

You're making a fool of yourself. Why don't you come and sit down? Have a cigar.

What about you, Max? Is it you? Cheating on your wife?

The beautiful Tanya? Breaking your kids' hearts, yeah?

Wouldn't be the first time you've done it, is it?

So is it you keeping the dirty little secret? Yeah? Eh?

Alfie. I don't know what you think you know, mate...

I know, I know!

I ain't been near your wife, all right? Neither's Derek, neither's Jack.

-How do you know, eh?

-Jack, just tell him, will you?

Alfie, oi straight up, all right. I'd never do that.

I'd never do that, all right? You're a mate.

Oh, stop, I'm not your mate.

I'm not your mate, I'm nobody's mate, all right? I'm just Alfie.

Everybody's mug.

I don't know what she's been telling you, Alfie,

but you're out of order now.

-Oh, am I?

-Yeah. Kat's a beautiful woman.

No denying that, but not me or my brothers,

we wouldn't do anything like that to you.

Never in a million years. We love you, Alfie.

This is our local. Do you think we'd be that stupid?

I know it's one of you. I know, OK. I know.

-Well you're wrong.

-Yeah, you are.

-Who told you it was one of us?

-I saw it, all right? I just saw it.

-Where? On what?

Don't do this, OK?

Don't do this, all right? I ain't doing this with you, Jack.

-Alfie. Alfie come and sit down?

-No.

-Come and sit down.

Listen, I know it's one of them. I know.

-Alfie come on.

-Alfie, come and have a drink.

-I know it's one of them.

-Alfie...

-Come on. Come and sit down.

No. You don't understand. You don't understand.

-Come on.

-Come and have a drink, Alfie. Come on.

I know it's one of you.

-Come on. Come on.

-Come on, darling.

I know. I know it's one of you. I know.

Hello? Hello?

'Hello? Are you there? Are you there?'

It's my wife.

Oh. She hung up. What a surprise?

I believe this is yours.

You what?

This is your phone, mate. Ain't it?

Yeah.

-Your phone?

-Yeah.

That my wife just called?

-Mate...

-"Mate" What's "mate"?

Babe, there's no truth in this.

It's you, Max.

You've got this all wrong. Why don't you just call her back.

-She just called you.

-And I've got no idea why.

THEY SHOUT

Alfie! Alfie don't! It ain't him.

You called him! I had his phone in my hand!

I called Max. I just wanted to stop... I wanted to warn...

-What are you..? What? What are you talking about?

-It's not him. It's not Max.

Who is it?

It's him.

It's Derek.
