DOOR SLAMS

The dirty stop-out returns.

You stay at Tamwar's, did you? Yeah.

How thrilling...that must have been.

Are you OK? No, I'm not OK, I feel nauseous.

I need to get ready for work.

In fact, I feel VERY nauseous.

Do you want a doctor?

No.

Janine is making me sick.

Do you know what she's going to do?

She's going to change Scarlett's name from Moon to Butcher.

Can you imagine that? Scarlett Butcher.

Like a Victorian serial killer.

Why is she doing that?

I don't know, I was hoping you could tell me, it was your idea.

Me? Yeah. I'd never suggest that.

Didn't you have a little chat with her yesterday?

Yeah.

Yeah. But all I said was that you'll always be...

Scarlett's dad. Yeah.

It was just an off-hand remark, I never meant to... Never meant what?

To give her another opportunity to shaft me?

Which you just have done, so thank you. If you reasoned with her...

Oh, I had a very reasoned discussion with her.

What did you say? It doesn't matter. All I would ask of you

is that you don't give her the ammunition, Alice! That's not fair.

Fair?! Life isn't fair, Alice! Life...isn't fair!

People make mistakes

and they spend the rest of their lives trying to make up for it!

It wouldn't matter to you, would it? Oh, no, not to you.

Cos you walk around with your head in the clouds.

In Alice's quaint little wonderland.

Where are you going? When I'm being so charming?

DOORBELL RINGS

Hmm.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Are you Michael Moon? Why?

If there's any aspect of this letter you don't understand,

you are advised to seek your own legal advice.

So how you feeling?

Ain't you supposed to ask me that after I've had the operation?

And ain't you supposed to be in your bed?

I had to come and...see you...

before you went in...

say bye.

What are you talking about? I'm coming back, you know!

I didn't...

Stop giving me grief, I'm a patient too, you know.

Look, you're both going to be fine!

But Dex is right, we should get you back to bed.

Unless you want me to stay? They're going to wheel me in any minute.

Go and get some breakfast or something.

Nan, talk to her please?

He's right.

Nothing to do but wait it out.

Baby...

Ready? Let's do this thing.

Come on, just open the door!

I just want to talk to you, that's all.

Come out, come out wherever you are.

I know you're in there.

An injunction to stop me seeing my own daughter?

That's twisted, even for you!

I have to say I'm disappointed, Janine, I'm saddened.

Do I scare you that much? You know I wouldn't hurt Scarlett.

You know I wouldn't hurt a hair on her head.

I used to be able to respect you, you see.

But now I just think you're pathetic. Worse.

You're weak.

Ssh, ssh, ssh.

We're just going to have to stay in here today, OK?

Daddy can't hurt us in here.

Yeah, thanks for letting me know.

Was that about the job? Hmm.

Oh, well, there'll be other opportunities.

I got it! Wahey! That's brilliant!

Well done! Well done.

This calls for a celebration. Why don't I cook us a curry tonight?

I don't think Morgan likes curry. He likes mine.

I stand corrected.

Well, I'll go and get the spices and the kids can help me cook?

Yeah, they'd love that.

Well done, congratulations, see you later. David...

Not very special, is it - curry.

What do you suggest, steak? Who's going to pay for that?

Here you go.

Thanks.

How long's it been?

About an hour.

Don't worry, he'll be out and fighting fit in no time.

And then it's Sam's turn.

Bad enough one operation...but two?

If...

If you want to talk about it...

There's nothing to say.

I mean, like you said, it's just a waiting game now.

Shouldn't you be at work?

I can rearrange, Dot won't mind.

Do you know what? There's no point in us both hanging round here.

I'm fine, honestly.

I'll call you if there's any news. OK.

Make sure you do.

Kate, you look pretty miserable for someone who's just been given

another day off work.

Well, I suppose it is a relief not to be around Janine,

but I just don't want to go home - Michael's in one of his moods.

Yeah, I'm surprised you manage to spend as much time

with those two as you do because they're really, really weird.

But if you do need somewhere to hide out, there's always room at mine...

Thanks.

But no thanks.

Yeah, I get it, it's not really the done thing in a Muslim household.

Not that my family have ever been known for doing...

the done thing.

Stop talking, Tam. Actually...

I might take you up on that offer for a couple of days.

Really?

Yeah, is that all right? Great!

Thanks.

No major problems then? Nope, everything's running like clockwork.

All right, no need to thank me, only three weeks of my life.

YOU call this running the place properly?!

Environmental Health sees it, they'll have a field day.

Yeah, all right, OK, I was... I was going to do that last night,

but then Dexter rang me, he's gone into hospital,

so I took my eye off the ball a bit.

I'm sure he'll be all right.

What was that? What?

That bag moved! If we've got rats...

Come on, it was a draft or something!

How can you be sure? I just am!

Put some poison down.

What are you doing here?

Can she do this? Apparently.

You're breaking the terms by being here, so you should go.

You instigated this, I don't need your advice.

Oh, I'm so sick of this! You need to pull yourself together, Michael,

and start thinking about Scarlett.

Cos if you just sit out here all day,

you'll wind up Janine more, and you'll lose your daughter for good.

He's going to be OK?

The operation went as smoothly as we could have hoped.

Dexter's in recovery and should regain consciousness any time now.

Can I see him?

Not just yet, but soon, I promise.

What about Sam? He's being prepped for surgery now, so I should go.

Course.

Thank you!

We're halfway there.

I thought you was supposed to change the barrel.

We don't have any more.

I rang the suppliers and they said they never received a new order.

What? That can't be right. I made that call, I know I did.

You sure about that?

You have been a bit distracted, hm?

No, I haven't. Come on, man.

Who's going to forget a basic rule of stocking a bar with beer?

Come on. KNOCK AT DOOR

Well, they can't deliver until tomorrow.

Oh, sort me out with a large glass of wine, will you, Pops?

I've had a right busy time of it over the road.

We ain't open yet!

You're head barman, innit? You can swing it for family and friends.

Talking of which, Dee just got back.

I'll take my break now and just pop over and say hello.

Hey, hey! What am I supposed to do with no beer on tap?

You'll think of something, son.

Ian, if the restaurant was infested with rats,

then I'm sure somebody would have noticed by now.

No, I am not going to get in pest control!

Why don't you ask Billy to... KNOCK AT DOOR

Um, hold on for a minute.

DAVID: You in, Janine?

Wait there.

Watcha. Sorry, you weren't at the office, so...

Can you just deal with it, Ian, all right.

You're meant to be managing the place.

SHE SIGHS

Ian back, is he? Unfortunately, yeah.

What can I do for you? I'm here about the loan.

Oh, sit down.

And before you ask for any late payments,

then there's extra interest on every day.

There you are, it's all there.

Count it if you like.

I'm impressed.

Early repayments, I don't get these very often.

How did you do it? Ah, that'd be telling.

Very impressed. Good, cos I thought we could do more business together.

Higher sum for a higher return next time.

There's a few little investments

I don't think you'll want to pass up on.

I'd love to hear all about it

but I'm just not really working today, so...

OK. Fair enough.

Another time maybe? Yeah.

Unless, of course, someone else doesn't get in there first.

I'll take my chances.

You all right, Janine?

Yeah, course. You, um...

you didn't happen to see Michael when you arrived, did you?

Eesh. No, I'd have remembered.

Ta-ta.

DOOR CLOSES

Mum... Hm.

..if you keep squeezing my hand that tight

you're going to cut off my blood supply.

Sorry.

Didn't I tell you I'd be all right?

It's so good to have you back, babe.

Mum? Hm.

When are they going to let us know about dad? Soon.

Don't worry, he's strong like you.

That's the talk I like. Baby...

..it's so good to have you back.

Come on...

don't go getting all soppy on me now.

Listen, you cut me some slack, just this once, yeah?

Where's Gran?

She wouldn't stand for none of this crying stuff.

She had to go to work.

What, I'm not enough for you now?

No, course you are.

Let's get that stinky nappy changed, shall we?

SHE SIGHS

Nappy bag.

SHE SIGHS

SHE SIGHS

Great!

GLASS CLINKS

Nice to see you where you belong, Ian.

What are you doing here? Door was open.

No, I meant back in Walford.

I mean, you usually only turn up

when there's a sniff of an inheritance going.

Do you know what, I'm surprised you hung around for Pat's funeral,

seeing as she was so skint. Careful, Ian.

So, what're you doing back here this time?

Well, I just thought I'd come and see Bianca and the kids...

and Carol.

It was Derek that hid that letter, all right? Not me.

Wasn't my place to pass it on either. But you had it?

Didn't you?

Yeah, yeah, sort of.

You had it and you chose not to pass it on.

I bet you read it as well, didn't you?

It give you a little cheap thrill, did it?

No, not really.

Fiction's not my thing, David. That's what it was, wasn't it?

All that stuff to Carol about "You're the one for me,

"how much you mean to me."

Probably the same sort of stuff that you said to Cindy

right before you ditched her.

That's the thing with you, anything you say

never becomes reality, does it?

You meddle with my life again, Ian,

I might just be tempted to return that favour.

Just like the old days. Whatever's happened in the past,

I've always sorted myself out,

picked myself up, got myself a decent woman...

Oh, you've got a new girlfriend? Yeah. I must meet her.

Yeah, I've got the relationship, I've got the fantastic house,

successful businesses. Yeah.

What have you got, David?

You all right?

Erm, have I got something on my face?

Aside from too much make up?

You've never looked better.

Was that a compliment or an insult?

I don't know.

Dot said you were going to call up the council

about that rubbish piling up?

Yes, yeah, I've... I've already done it

I've all ready done it and I'm waiting for them to get back to me.

You know, it's the council.

It takes a long time.

SHE MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY

Shall we go to the park?

We don't have to rush home, do we? No.

Look at you.

Is it that a dirty nappy I smell before me?

Careful, someone might ring Social Services.

Get away from us, Michael. I'm warning you, not one step closer...

Or what?

What're you going to do?

Oh...

Oh, the injunction?

No, you're going to revoke that. And why would I do that?

We both know why.

Let me just make the terms of the injunction clear to you, shall I?

The one that I was forced to take out yesterday

when you violently grabbed me by the throat and threatened me!

If you come within six feet of my house,

or threaten me again,

then you will be in breach of that injunction.

The maximum prison sentence for that, Michael, is five years.

By the time you get out, Scarlett won't even KNOW who you are.

You just keep pushing me and you'll see what happens.

Because I've got the law on my side now,

so don't ever make the mistake of thinking that you are in control.

Because you're not.

Scarlett...

say goodbye to Daddy.

Remind me never to mess with Janice.

What're you looking at?

Sorry.

He's not staying.

You sure about that?

Yeah, Carol's been very clear - she's going to put up with him

till Bianca gets back, and that's it.

Really?

Look, nothing's ever straightforward where David Wicks is concerned.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

He really worries you, doesn't he?

No. I'm not thinking of me. I'm thinking of you.

Me and Carol are solid. I'm not threatened by David. No.

Whatever happened in the past, it can't affect you now, can it?

There you go. Ta.

TILL BEEPS

You again. Lucky me.

Did you really try and strangle her?

Yeah.

It was good. Felt really good.

I really liked it. I should've just finished it.

You don't mean that. I do.

And you know I do.

Well, that's brilliant! Can we visit?

Better leave it for a bit.

Ava'll want to spend some time on her own with Dexter.

Yeah, but when he wakes up

he's going to want his mates round him and that.

This is Dexter we're talking about.

He won't want no fuss. You know that. She's right.

JAY: How's Sam, Cora?

Uh yeah, he's...

Ava didn't say...

I think he's still in theatre.

Oh, right. When are you going again, after your shift?

I dunno. Yeah, yeah.

Probably.

All right then, can you just send him our love, yeah?

Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

See ya. Bye.

Sam's doing really well,

so it looks like you can finally relax a little,

though I wouldn't recommend champagne for either of the patients just yet!

What time will he be back on the ward?

Depends on how he does in recovery,

but if he's anything like Dexter, very soon.

You hear that, Dex?

Your dad is going to be just fine.

Super Dex and Super Dad...

Thank you so much, for everything.

Now, you might be too tired but...

I know I'm not as good as Cora,

but I thought that you...

might fancy a little game of...

Dexter?

Dexter! MACHINE BEEPS

Help! Dexter? Dexter!

What's happening? Dexter!

Blood pressure's very low... Dexter! Can you hear me?

Can somebody tell me what's happening, please?

Is he going to be all right? Let's get him to theatre.

Can somebody please tell what's happening?!

Dexter! What is going on?

Please!

Now, we don't have beer on tap, but what we do have...

Panther! OK.

Now, for one day, and one day only,

Fats is going to give you a special discount.

Buy three, get one free!

Huh? Come on now.

How do you feel about that?

Thanks but no thanks.

No joy? No, man, I can't even give this stuff away.

Not like you to give up that easily.

Don't worry. I'll shift it.

OK. Just give me a minute for the ideas to start going.

That's more like it.

What're you doing here?

Peter said you needed a hand. Very kind of you.

But haven't you got some homework you should be doing?

Hello again.

Sorry, hope you don't mind, I had to use the facilities.

It could do with a wipe down in there actually, Ian.

That's great, Cindy. How much do I owe you?

David wanted a takeaway,

but I said as you don't do that

he could have the steaks uncooked.

Hang on a minute... Shall we say ten?

Lovely.

Ten? That's prime cuts, they're worth at least three times that!

Family discount.

And I'm very grateful.

She's definitely got her mum's spirit, don't you reckon?

Going to be a real heartbreaker.

Any time you want to know more about her, you know where I am.

Ta-ta.

You stay away from my family!

What was that about?

Has he been pestering you while I've been away?

We've talked a couple of times, that's all.

Cindy, you're not to go anywhere near him.

At least he wants to talk about my mum.

Hi, Cora.

It's Dex. No, there's no need to panic, but...

..something happened.

Alice! Come on, don't be this way.

I didn't mean to scare you. I was just...

DOOR OPENS

DOOR CLOSES

You're leaving?

Yeah. I'm going to go and stay at Tamwar's for a bit.

It's for the best.

I just seem to be making things worse for you at the minute.

Alice, Alice, come on. Don't...

You don't, you're the only one who makes things better.

Alice...you can't go.

I won't let you, Alice.

Alice...I really need you.

So this friend just happened to offer them to you at a discount?

Yeah. Right place, right time. I know, what are the odds, eh?

Maybe there's something wrong with them.

There isn't, Whitney.

Right, OK fine, if you don't want 'em,

I'll take 'em over the Vic or down the homeless shelter.

It's not every day the kids get steak frites, is it? Come on.

OK, all right. It seems a shame to waste them.

Thanks. My pleasure, Whitney.

Kids! Guess what we're having for tea?!

Where you going? Now that Masood hasn't got to cook

I'm going to suggest that we go out instead.

Carol, come on, you can do that any day.

Don't you want to be here for Whitney?

All right. I'll call him.

Just make sure that mine is very well...

Well done. Not a hint of pink. I remember.

Finest fillet steak but I will cremate it, just for you.

They had to give him a blood transfusion.

Is he going to be OK?

I don't know.

He's just got to rest now.

How about you?

I'm OK.

I have to be.

For Dexter and Sam.

Not in front of me you don't.

PHONE RINGS

What if he doesn't make it?

He will.

Never let you down yet, has he?

You'll find a way to patch things up with Janine.

That's what you meant, wasn't it, when you said you needed me?

No. No. No, you're the only one that gets me.

You know how stupid this injunction is

and you know that I would never hurt Scarlett.

Of course you wouldn't. And I've been an idiot.

I've been so stupid.

All this time I should've been thanking you,

I should've been grateful, and I've been lashing out.

We were so close once...weren't we? So close.

And I ruined it.

I ruined it, didn't I?

Yeah, you did.

I'm sorry.

You have to understand, all this stuff with Janine...

..it blinded me.

Because all I really want...

..is you.

Why are you doing this?

Michael, you know how I feel about you.

Please don't string me along, it's not fair.

You're right.

Why should you trust me?

Come on.

Just go. Just go to Tamwar's.

Just get out of here, just go and live your life.

Cos I'm being so selfish just keeping you here for myself.

You deserve so much better than me.

OK.

Go.
