DOOR BUZZES

Hello.

Hello?

Hello?

No more mercy for the birthday girl, yeah?

Cos I'm the Pound Up professional. Dexter... Oh, Mum!

I was just about to win big! What, £3.50?

Don't knock it, that's six wings in McKlunky's. Yeah.

Let Jay have it, I need to talk to you. Mum!

It's all right, mate, don't be jealous!

Take it. Go on. Happy birthday.

I hope you get salmonella, yeah? Dexter!

That's nice, innit? Come on.

Ooh!

Work trouble?

Hello?

No.

Your minions off doing your dirty work?

Don't worry, Janine, I'm here to help.

I'd rather die underneath a pile of filing.

What do you want now? I'm glad we can be

so forthcoming with each other.

What do I want? I'm looking for an investment.

Oh, I see. A little deposit in the Bank of Wicks, is it?

Practically the spare change in the bottom of your very nice handbag.

A grand.

Right, so you don't get a job and now you want a loan, is that right?

Weren't it your dad that said

the key to making money was "taking the first profit"?

If I thought there was even a chance of a profit,

then I might be doing just that.

Until then...zero. Zilch.

Nada.

Do you know, you're getting a little bit miserly in your old age!

Do you know, you're getting a little bit poor in yours!

Which is worse?

Cheers, buddy. Thank you.

All right, what can I get you?

I'm here to say sorry.

Michael Moon and a conscience, there's a new one. I feel bad,

it wasn't my place to tell you.

I appreciate your concern for my emotional wellbeing,

but I've a fiancee for that.

So position is filled, all right, Michael?

But you know it came from a place of worry?

I care about you, you're my cousin. You know what they say...

What? You marry the girl...

Come on, Alfie. ..you marry the family too.

It's only a matter of time before they pass each other on the street.

Eventually, they'll have to speak to each other. Start fawning,

squealing and being blonde. All right, enough. Shut up.

Give it a rest, OK? Personally...

Personally, I would want that monster run out of town.

Yeah, well, thankfully, it's got nothing to do with you, OK?

You can try and deny it, but we're cut from the same cloth

and I know that deep down inside,

you...want...Ronnie...gone.

Hey... Alfie, where you going? I'm going out.

See you later, man.

What you sticking your nose into? He needs some advice.

Oh, right. You an agony aunt, are you?

So, this is it. It's really happening.

Yeah, looks like it.

25th October. That's only three weeks' time.

That's cool, Mum. It works for me. Dexter, it's not too late to cancel.

I can have a word with your dad. Mum...

I'm saving someone's life, yeah? My dad's life.

How often do you get the chance to do that?

Look, I'll be fine.

I'll be moonwalking out of there, all right? Yeah, right. Sorry.

It's just that, well, I read these statistics and... It doesn't matter.

No. No, go on. No, forget it. No, Mum, what do you mean? What?

What statistics? Your operation's on a Friday, isn't it? Yeah, so?

I read that the aftercare at the weekends

is not as good as the aftercare on weekdays.

So what, is that it?

The death rates are higher.

Look, Mum, people say all these things about the NHS all the time.

They're not talking about me.

People who are young and healthy and good looking.

Look, Mum, I'm going to be fine, all right?

I've got to go. I'll see you later.

Yeah? See you later.

PHONE RINGS

Well, hello there, Mary Poppins.

'Janine, I'm really worried about Scarlett.'

She won't stop crying and she's really hot.

It's probably just a sniffle. Give her the purple stuff

out of the medicine cabinet. She was fine this morning.

'No, seriously...'

I've never seen her like this before.

I think she needs her mum.

If I don't get through this paperwork, she won't have a mum,

or a nanny, she'll be on the breadline, living in a doorway! Huh!

Look, I'll be home as soon as I can.

OK.

Bought you this.

Oh, right. Well, thank you.

You look like you need cheering up.

Mmm... Just promise me never to go into the property industry, OK?

Really? Granddad's been teaching me all about business.

I'm getting pretty good.

Well, I wouldn't listen to him, because he hasn't got

a penny to his name. That's cos he lives life on the edge.

Is that what he says?

Well, yeah, the edge of his overdraft.

Grandad's worried about you.

He said family should look out for each other.

Well, unfortunately, that only works one way for David.

Is Scarlett poorly?

No. She'll be fine.

Mum said when Morgan's ill, I've got to be extra nice to him.

Helps him get better.

Right.

Do you know, you're right.

I'll see you later, Tiff, OK?

So Mama H was making sure her kidney farm was all right, was she?

Jay, it's not funny, she was worried, you know.

So, er, when you going under the knife?

Couple of weeks. Don't envy you.

Listen, Phil, what do they treat you like in there?

No worse than prison.

Are you joking? THEY LAUGH

Of course I'm joking. Now, come on, that's not funny, man.

Hiya.

Phil, can I borrow a couple of your lads for 20 minutes this afternoon?

Why, what do you need doing? I'm moving some furniture around in Jack's.

I'm getting settled in. There's no rush, is there? You'll be fine without me.

You're on the mend, aren't you? That's not what I'm worried about.

I can move back in, if you need a hand round the place.

That's not the problem!

I was just saying...

Well, don't!

I appreciate your concern,

but I think it's time I moved forward with Jack.

Listen, Phil,

do you mind if I take 20 minutes out quickly?

Is that a joke? No. Look, I just need to go to the chemist

and pick something up for my dad. Yeah, yeah, go on, then.

Cheers. See you later.

It's all right, Mummy's here now! She's going to be fine.

Ssh! Do you think maybe we should call a doctor? Or the hospital?

No, look, it's going to be OK. You can go now.

I don't mind staying to help.

It's fine, Alice. Thank you.

It's OK. Come on, baby. Just call me if you need anything, OK?

Mummy's here now. Shush, it's OK.

Thank you.

Shush, it's OK.

Dot's recruited you, eh? Joining the washerwomen of Walford?

No, I'm just picking up some stuff for my mum. You OK?

Look, yes, yes, I'm fine! OK, Abs? Yeah. All right. Look, Jay,

what we going to do for him?

What do you mean? For his birthday!

It was yesterday. Exactly!

I think he just wanted a quiet one.

Yeah, that's what he says, but we know better than that. Do we?

Look, we have to do something, to take his mind off things.

Off what? Off life! You know, being a grease monkey! Being ugly,

getting one year older.

Look, I'm going to go find him, yeah?

See you later. See ya.

Oh, Dex, you've, erm...

Yeah, and what else did she say?

She said you ain't got a penny

and you're at the edge of your overcraft, or something.

Overdraft.

Don't take no notice of her, darling,

she's just sad because she works too much.

Nah, that's not it. No? What do you think it is, then?

It's obvious.

What, because she ain't got a boyfriend no more?

No! Even more obvious than that.

Cos she was born that way?

She misses Nana Pat!

Oh, do you reckon?

This'll be the easiest monkey I've ever made.

Monkey? Yeah, 500 quid.

I thought you asked for a grand.

Yeah, but because I've asked her for twice as much as I need,

when she only gives me half of that,

I leave her feeling like she's won something.

And am I going to get a cut?

Of course. You did very good work today.

You extracted vital information.

She's not as scary as she thinks.

You've just got to be nice to her,

even when she's all spiky. Yeah, you're right, Tiff.

I know exactly what you mean.

So how many times have you seen her? Alfie... I need to know.

Have you had this conversation with Roxy? No. You know I can't.

She'll come up with a different story every time. How many times?

What difference does it make, how many times?

OK, you were in the Vic yesterday. There's one.

I'm not trying to hurt anyone here.

So how come you manage it every time?

She's my sister. I'm not stopping you from loving her.

No, but she's lying to my face every day.

She wanted to tell you. I told her that she should.

But maybe it's you. Did you ever think about that?

Maybe you're not so easy to confront.

What are you talking about?

It's not the first time you've been lied to, is it?

You've got a nerve. You know that?

You come here and try and tear up everything I have,

cos it's so easy to you, isn't it, eh?

I lost everything too! Why are you still here?!

Where else do you want me to go?! Really? Like I care. Really?

Anywhere! Anywhere. We were happy!

Me, Roxy, Tommy and Amy, you know something? We were a family.

And I am part of that family, whether you like it or not.

So I'm sorry, Alfie,

I'm afraid you're going to have to get used to it.

Come on. Let's go Shoreditch or something, man.

I mean, what are we doing sitting in here

when we've got a whole world waiting for us out there? Erm, that's why.

Ain't you got to pay Phil back his money?

It was our boy's birthday yesterday, we didn't even do anything!

Don't worry about me. I had an amazing day, I spent it with Abi...

Come on, ain't you got any sense of adventure? Mate, I'm up for anything.

Let's do it, come on. Yes! Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

That's what I want to hear. All right, I'll have some of that.

Abi can meet me after work. Sorted. Where are we even going to go?

Mine. Eh? We'll go mine.

Party at mine tonight, yeah? Party at mine for Jay's celebration!

Because it was his birthday yesterday.

Oh, we can't because we're busy... That sounds fun.

You up for it, yeah? Yeah. All right!

I don't think your parents are really going to want to...

Of course. Why not?

It's my house, innit?

How can anyone ever trust you again?

Roxy does.

Kat does. No. Stop. No, Kat doesn't.

Yes, she does... No! Why don't you ask her?

I know what I did destroyed you two in more ways than one.

That is nothing to do with you. I'm not talking to you about that.

I know you're angry with me, Alfie, but maybe it's more than just Tommy.

Stop. That's enough! That's enough.

I can't just keep saying, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, over and over again!

No, you can't, Ronnie. No, you can't!

Because it will never be enough.

Mum! Mmm? Are you listening, yeah?

Can I have the house to myself tonight?

Ooh! Who is she, then? What are you talking about?

It's got to be a girl, innit? You wanting the house to yourself.

Mum, no! No, no girl, it's Jay!

Oh, well, I'm fine with that too. Mum, I want to have a drink for him.

It was his birthday yesterday and no-one done anything for him. Go on,

let him. Babes, you're exhausted.

Then a quiet drink with you in the pub

might just be the thing to pep me up. Come on, Mum, man,

you're going on like I ask you for this all the time. It's a one-off.

It's been a big day for all of us, let him blow off some steam.

The boy's earned it. Oh, all right, then.

Tracey, sweetheart, will you do us a favour? I think Tommy's getting hungry.

Are you getting hungry, buddy? Go and get something to eat.

Be a good boy for Auntie Tracey.

Kat, do you mind if he stays with you tonight? Why, what's the matter?

Nothing. I've just...

got a few things I need to sort out. It's Michael, innit? No.

Ignore him, he don't know anything.

Kat, it's nothing to do with Michael.

It's Roxy.

She's been seeing Ronnie behind my back.

Oh, right, sorry.

It's all the lies, you know? They don't stop. It's just...

I think she's just trying to protect YOU, Alfie.

Stop, I don't want protection, it's not about protection.

This is about the truth.

What I did to you, don't let that ruin this, please. No, no, Kat.

Seriously, we're over that now.

Well, this is up to you, innit?

Do you want her enough to get through this?

Oh, come on!

DOOR UNLOCKS

Hey, you're home! Yeah, well, what's left of it.

Ha! I'm spring-cleaning.

Bit late in the year for that, innit?

Well, I've got a lot of time to make up for, haven't I?

Sounds good. I want things to look fresh and clean. Huh...

No, as in new.

Whatever you want to do.

You're going to help me though, aren't you? Erm...

So, how can I be of service?

Right, well, you see that bed over there? Oh, yes.

That bed has got to go.

Which means... we've got to choose a new one.

Right, first off, I ain't getting

one of those mock-leather headboards. Why?

Well, cos I ain't Craig David!

So is Oxford Street still standing, then?

Do you know what, I just got Amy some stuff. If she keeps growing,

she's going to have to start wearing my clothes.

Peroxide Part Two.

Your day been all right? TEXT MESSAGE ALERT

You going to get that?

Yeah.

Tam Tam! Alice, come on!

What can I get you?

I've got some beer, and I've got this unidentified liqueur,

this is a myth. I found it in the back of my cupboard somewhere, so...

Smells like cinnamon and anti-freeze.

And regret.

See, this isn't so bad, is it?

Yeah, I can't wait for the chimp noises

and the sweaty smell of pheromones(!)

It'll be like I'm in a nature programme.

Is there somewhere else you'd rather be?

No. I'm just kidding. You're here.

So that's...

It's not unpleasant.

Easy. Come on,

get me a clean glass. Mm-hm.

I'll get you whatever you want for the best night of your life!

What, Ryan Gosling in a hot tub?

More like Dexter Hartman in a shower-bath.

Don't knock it till you've tried it.

Yeah, well, you ain't my type, still!

Listen, Ryan Gosling, he's good with cars, I'm good with cars.

He's strong and silent...

I guess that's where you're different!

Oh, what, you being feisty, yeah? Mm. All right, never mind, I get you.

All right, come on. Strawpedo for the birthday boy! Yeah, ready?

Wow.

Alfie, wait! Look, I wanted to tell you, OK?

But you didn't. I tried to tell you in there, didn't I?

Then you started saying stuff about never lying to you

and I couldn't do it because I knew you wouldn't understand. Me and you are supposed to be a couple,

together, through everything!

It was one time, it was one time, honestly.

Another lie! You can't stop!

Alfie, look, please, It won't happen again, OK?

It won't. I promise you.

No, you're right. It won't.

What...? What are you doing?

Alfie, please, you can't do this!

Alfie, I chose YOU. I chose you a long time ago.

Really?

I'm going to do a shot for every year you've been alive, son.

Because life is beautiful.

Well, it won't be after you've drunk that...lighter fluid.

Do you know what? I think I'll pass, mate.

It's still daylight outside. Ha-ha-ha!

Oh... Um... No, no, go on, you have it.

Well, no, let's share it.

What's that smell?

Smells like fish or something.

Can you actually smell that? It IS you, isn't it?!

Oh, wow. All right, OK. We had a fish delivery this morning at Scarlett's.

I'm covering for Dad, aren't I? It's all right, you don't have to lie,

I know it's your natural scent! It's not...

OK, I've had three showers, OK? Seriously, I can't get rid of it!

I'm joking, all right? I never said it was a bad thing.

Since when has smelling like fish been a good thing?

Cos it reminds me of the seaside.

You know, like battered fish and cod and chips?

What do you smell like, anyway?

Stop it!

You smell like talcum powder and sweets.

What? Oh. That's babies for you, innit?

Look, time's running out on my little offer, you know.

DOOR BELL RINGS And what offer's that, Dex?

That's Abs. I'll get it.

For the best night of your life. Urgh, please!

You had your birthday beats yet, then?

No, but I think Dex is about to get some off Lola.

Why? What's he done?

He's drank more than an whole stag do put together.

Let me tell you something. No-one's ever turned me down before,

you should know. Yeah, I'm sure.

All right, steady on, mate, yeah? I've got a 100% success rate.

Well, not tonight, all right, Dex?

Look, I will win you over... I said no. Ooh... Whoa!

Dex, are you all right? Come here. Let's get you up.

Come on. I'm fine.

I'm all right, I'm good.

Are you sure?

Dex, what are you doing?!

Get off me, get off me!

Alfie, I know how important trust is to you, OK? I do.

After everything that happened with Kat.

What, you knew and you did the same thing?

I'm nothing like her, OK? I didn't cheat on you.

I would never cheat on you. I just saw my sister.

Don't you understand? This is much worse, Roxy!

You put my son's life at risk, OK? She came into my house!

She would never do something like that again! She stole from me...

She stole from me the first few months of his life.

He was with a complete stranger!

He wasn't with a stranger, she loved him!

What?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, that was a really stupid thing to say, Alfie.

Look, please, Alfie, I know...

I know you're never going to forgive her, OK?

But I saw that my sister was hurting and I needed to help her.

You know all those plans we had,

all that Ibiza stuff?

She used to dream about that stuff,

it was the only thing that got her through.

But I never wanted that, Alfie. I wanted you.

I love you.

I will do anything, Alfie.

Please! Oi, oi, oi...

What are you doing?

I wouldn't leave you.

Roxy, I would never leave you.

All right?

But, you know, me and you,

something has to be done, all right? Yes. OK.

So tonight, me and you are leaving Walford.

You all right? Just ignore him, he's drunk. I'm having fun!

Really, Dex? You find this fun?

Yeah, well, you and Pete were, eh?

Nice and cosy in the corner.

Don't be so nasty. Shut up, mate.

You know what? You lot make a perfect couple!

Why don't you go and have some nice blonde-haired, blue-eyed babies, yeah?

And why don't you just leave it?! Lola, wait.

Why don't you go after her and make sure she's OK?

OK... Look, we should do this a lot more often(!)

Come on.

See ya.

Dex, just stop!

Good time? Ssh... Oh, sorry.

I've got more important things to do than hide my wallet from you.

I was actually hoping we could

wet the baby's head. Well, she's sleeping,

and I've literally only just managed to calm her down.

If you wake her, I swear, I will kill you.

Is that her? She's a looker, isn't she?

Gorgeous. Yes, she is.

And she's about the only woman round here your charms won't work on.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

You hate kids, anyway.

No, but she's special, ain't she? And she's got your smile.

What I remember of it... Yep. That's exactly the one.

So, yes or no?

If she hadn't threatened my will to live today,

I would be telling you to go home.

But that bottle of wine does look very friendly.

Second cupboard on the left. Righto.

Why now? Because I think it's what we need, Rox.

Where? It doesn't matter where. I'll find a place.

I can't just go. I mean, what about Amy and school and everything?

Rox, please. Sweetheart, we can.

We'll make that call in the morning, yeah?

How long are we going to go for?

Until we get back on track.

And what will we tell everyone?

Roxy, sweetheart, no-one else matters.

PHONE VIBRATES

Leave it. Alfie, I can't. No, I mean it. Leave it.

Trust me, Rox. You and me,

we'll sort it. I promise.

I wish I'd been there for Bianca when she was that age.

First steps, first words and all that.

Yeah, but you wouldn't have been interested back then. No,

but you make mistakes, don't you?

You grow up.

You?

No.

Yeah, but you have, though.

Businesses,

lovely big house.

My mum would be proud of you, I know she would.

Oh, I miss the old bag, I really do.

Being here without her...

it's not the same.

That's why it's important that we stick together.

We help each other out. It's what she would have wanted.

Isn't it?

I'll give you 500 quid.

I want it back in a week though. One week.

All right, I can make that work.

I'll give it to you tomorrow.

Thanks, Janine.

See, you're a ray of sunshine underneath, ain't you?

With interest, David.

With interest.

This isn't like you.

Trust me, I know what it is like.

Lauren, I don't want you to be... I ain't like her.

So what is it, then? Nothing.

I found this in the launderette.

Is this it?

Is this what's wrong?

I'm so sc...

I'm so scared.

I'm terrified.

What you doing, Rox? I'm going now.

You either come with me, or you stay...

..but it's over. So it's your choice.

There's no choice.

It's you.
