What else am I supposed to do?

I need the money, don't I, if me and Lily are going to live.

I don't like it. I don't trust him.

Oh, Kat, that was years ago. What, people can't change?

He was knocking off Lucy Beale, you know. Just before she died.

Right. Sign's up. You watch - there'll be a queue for that beauty. You wait and see.

-Stace...

-I'm having a shower.

-Take him.

-Hold on, Kat - what are you doing?

Bianca just called. She wants me on the stall all day.

I thought it was just the afternoon. I've got things I need to do.

You think I want to be working? One of us has to, or we're going to be homeless.

Yes, I know. But once we sell the Capri it'll all be sweet. OK?

Kat...

Did you get a chance to do me that reference?

-What's that?

-So I can start applying for jobs in Bolton.

-Yeah, I'll do it this morning.

-Well, we'll be off soon.

Do you mind if I drink this first?

There's quite a lot of stuff here. We'll have to go through it.

-What's that?

-Old baby clothes of Lexi's.

-I thought we could give some to Beth.

-Lucky Beth.

Is that a problem?

Don't forget my reference.

Wouldn't dream of it.

You don't have to keep checking up on me.

I just thought I'd pop round before work and have a cup of tea with you.

Look, come on, Tiff, we've got to get going.

Come on, I'll walk you to the bus. And you, Whit. Let's all go together.

Look, Nan, this just came for you.

You hate walking to the bus.

No, I don't.

Can't I even walk my own family to the bus now?

What is she like?

-See you.

-See you later.

There's something definitely going on there.

Right, if you untangle this lot,

and then whack it out the front.

-Got that barbecue this afternoon, ain't we?

-Oh, we're still doing that, then?

Yeah, why wouldn't we be?

I thought it was... more Linda's thing.

Well, don't matter whose idea it was, does it?

As long as it gets the punters in.

-Once you've done that, I've got a list of jobs for you.

-I've got to go to work.

-Marie's sick.

-Can't you get Tosh to do it?

She's on a double. Have you not got three kids?

-They're busy.

-What, all of them?

Didn't you hear what I just said? What time do you finish?

I don't know. Some time this afternoon.

Sorry.

Have fun with that bunting.

-All right, Teen.

-Hiya.

-Mick. Your mate still interested in the motor?

-Tony?

-Yeah.

Might want to get round here sharpish,

-I've put the sign up and that thing will fly out the door.

-Sure you want to sell it?

Ain't got much choice, have I?

Anyway, got a big day ahead.

Jobcentre, flog the car,

get back here to stop you burning the burgers.

-Catch you later, Mick.

-See you later.

All right, Tel...

-Where's Morgan?

-Oh, he's gone to get some sweets.

-Keep your eye on these for me?

-What? Bianca!

What does she mean, keep your eye on these?

Uh...just get in the cab, please?

-We're going to be late for school.

-Your mum's signed you off sick,

-so you ain't gotta worry about that.

-What?

-Yes!

-Why?

I promise your mum will explain. Can you just get in the cab?

Please? You an' all, Whit, come on.

Where are we going?

-To the zoo.

-Really?

-Yeah. It's going to be amazing. Newborn baby elephant.

-Everything. So come on. Jump in.

-All right! Yes!

There's no baby elephant, is there?

Bianca will explain on the way. Can you please just get in the cab?

Please?

Hi, Peter.

BABY CRYING ON MONITOR

She won't go down?

No, I was just about to go back up.

Well, no, your midwife'll be here in a bit to see you,

so get some earplugs in and have a lie down while you can, eh?

Phil?

The baby whisperer. He'll get her off, don't worry about that.

Right, what do you want me to do?

-Um, there's dishes.

-I'll start with that.

Oh, right - that box is full of baby clothes,

so when you've had a rest, have a look through it, yeah?

Come on. Upstairs. Earplugs.

We'll bring her in if she needs you, OK?

So Peter just shafts Lola but that means nothing to Phil.

He's giving away Lexi's clothes. And he still ain't done that reference.

Do you think maybe he's dragging his feet on the reference

cos he's going to miss you?

-Don't be stupid.

-And maybe you're overreacting just a little bit

because you're going to miss him too?

So what if I am? He's a miserable old git.

I want to knock him out most of the time but...

..since Dad, no-one's ever really been there for me. So yeah.

I might miss him. But there's no reason for him to be an idiot about it, is there?

What's she doing here?

Dunno.

-Come in.

-Thank you. Is your dad enjoying his trip?

Yeah. I guess.

At last. She's a determined one, that one.

I won't take up too much time.

I was just in the area and I wanted to apologise in person

for the confusion last week about the man on the bus.

-It's all right.

-No, it's not.

Look, I know how difficult and emotional this whole process is for you,

without us making it harder.

But we have had another development and this time we're more certain.

What do you mean, more certain?

That's unfortunately all I can say at the moment.

I'm sorry, but I'm sure you understand.

OK. Thank you.

I'll see you soon.

Sounds like good news.

Ooh, look at it.

Come on then, out you get.

Why are we in Milton Keynes?

I thought we was going to the zoo.

-To be honest, me and Terry are back together.

-Oh, really?

We've been stuck in the car with you for two hours.

All your little looks. We did notice. We're not stupid.

About time too.

And so you want to move here, do you?

He's moving here, you're back together, you've brought us

here to look at this house. Am I right?

Yeah.

-Agent says it's free from next week, so we can move in when we like.

-No way.

-Just look at the house.

-What's the point? We're not moving.

Look, we're here now. Just have a look at the house.

Oh, listen to that purring like a kitten.

This is the 1983 classic -

may I emphasise the word "classic" - Ford Capri.

The car we promised ourselves back in the glory days.

-Or so they used to say...

-What do you want for it?

Three and a half grand.

Seriously, I do love this motor but now I've got three kids,

I've got to find something a bit sensible.

Yeah, yeah. OK... look, I'll give you a ring, yeah?

Well, listen, Tony, I was hoping we could sort this out today.

Tell you what. I'll knock £500 off.

Call it 3K, and you can drive it away right now.

Yeah?

I've got to talk to the wife. Yeah?

OK, listen, a friend of Mick's is a friend of mine -

I'm robbing myself here, but two-and a-half K and it's all yours...

Listen, look... I said, you know, I'll give you a call.

Yeah?

Yeah. All right.

Tony, you've got the number. Just give me a shout.

Not a problem, all right.

Alfie. He's crying again.

Darling, I've got one more job.

I can't. I've got things to do.

Just take Tommy to daycare. I'll look after the twins.

It'll be fine.

All right - don't want to buy a classic Capri, do you?

So, how'd you go?

Would I get my own room?

-With Rosie.

-Would I be the boss of it?

Which one's Nan's room?

Nanny would probably be staying in London.

It's a lovely house though, innit, eh? Big. Loads of space.

So when did you want to move?

I dunno. We'd have to speak to your school

and then talk to Nan...

I'll see you inside.

Come on. Come and sit down.

Please.

I know this is fast.

It's a lot to take in.

It's a big move. I do understand that.

Look, lay back.

When was the last time you done that in London, eh?

Laid on the grass. Have to be a park, wouldn't it?

Footballs being kicked in your head, dog poo...

cyclists, and them horrible stinky barbecues.

This would all be ours.

Could I paint my room pink?

Course you can.

Then I think I could get used to it.

You are such a good girl. And you?

Why not?

I love you so much.

Right, you two - go on, go up to Terry and check out that loft.

-There's a loft?

-No way!

Yes way.

We ain't moving.

BABY GRIZZLES

Mr Moon. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Not a problem. Thanks for seeing me.

Let's have a look, shall we?

When did she say those results were arriving?

You was the one what spoke to her, as I far as I recall.

DOORBELL RINGS

Right...

Carol, hi, come in.

All right, Dot.

Well?

"Most likely relationship is grandparent/grandchild".

Right. Well, I'll leave you to it, then.

Are you all right, Carol?

Yeah. No, I'm fine.

Oh, Charlie.

So what was all that talk about, about having your family around you?

Don't you mean that no more?

Well, you would have your family around you, Whit. But they would just be round here.

What about Lee, and Lily?

B, you can't say lie on the grass and forget about everyone and everything.

No...it's not that far, Whit.

Look, your nan being ill...

it's just made me realise you don't get many chances to make things better.

This is our chance.

Our chance to just get away from something that's just...

It's just hard.

Just a chance to make a better life.

And if we don't take it,

I'm not sure we're going to get it again.

So is this...

..is Terry what you really want?

Yes.

-So why did you break up with him, then?

-Because I was terrified.

Terrified of taking a risk with another bloke?

Terrified of getting hurt?

I just couldn't face that again.

But I do trust him.

I didn't think I'd trust anyone again after Tony.

This is moving on.

Do you know how important that is?

Ricky's moved on,

and I want to do that with Terry.

And having someone that's good to me, like he is...

..well, you know what that means.

You know.

Look, I understand if you don't want to come. But I think...

no, I know, I KNOW this is the best thing for our family.

Well, maybe I can give it a go.

Really?

But if I hate it, I'm going back to London.

All right. Whit?

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much!

Hey, shh-shh, be a good boy...

sorry about this.

-Try this.

-Thank you. Here you go.

There's a good boy. Here you go.

So, how we looking?

Not great, Mr Moon.

Based on these figures, it's difficult

to approve you for a loan of this size.

That's OK. We can cut it down.

We can cut down the size, that doesn't.. We can talk about it, yeah?

I don't think we'll be able to approve you for a loan of any size.

What?

It would be what we call an unacceptable risk.

I don't understand. What does that mean?

It means that looking at your account,

we don't think you'll be able to repay.

See, there must be some confusion about me filling in the form.

You see, my wife, she works on a stall in the market.

So she deals with cash.

-And that's probably why it didn't show up on the computer.

-I'm sorry, Mr Moon.

I get a fair bit coming in, from time to time.

We're just going through a rough patch at the moment, you know.

Ask any of my mates. If I get loans, I always pay back my debts.

BABY CRIES

Listen, Ernie, please just give me a break here! Be a good boy.

Daddy's here, Daddy's here...

Listen, I'm not looking for a hand-out,

I'm just looking for some help.

OK. We're about to get evicted.

And work is really hard to come by.

I know how hard it can be.

Really? Somehow I don't think so.

Look at you, sitting here. You've got a job.

Money in your pocket, you've got a home,

kids with a roof over their head.

I've got nothing right now!

Because I am worthless.

What am I supposed to do, eh?

What am I supposed to do?

Please. I'm just looking for some help.

Please help me, yeah?

Please help me.

Hey. Ain't you got work to get through?

Just came back to grab the paperwork for that Corsa. How's Beth?

-Gorgeous.

-Yeah. Great little sleeper once you get her down.

That's good. Did I see the police go in while you were there?

-Yeah.

-Have they got something, or...?

-Why?

-Well, cos I want to see them catch him.

-The sooner the better.

-They've got a lead on the bloke on the bus apparently.

I don't know what, but something's happening.

Good. Hope they catch him.

Ostrich burgers?

-Linda ordered them.

-Mick don't actually think she's going to turn up, does he?

Well, this barbecue thing's her idea.

-Yeah, but...does he?

-I'll see you out there.

It's just a job?

Yeah. What else would it be?

Stace. It was a long time ago.

Were you seeing Lucy Beale?

Before she died. Were you seeing her?

Well, what do you want me to say? Yeah, I was.

-It was a mistake, Stace. We all make 'em.

-Not over and over again, Max.

Yes, all right, I get it. I'm the one who's got to live with it, so yeah, I get it.

If you don't want the job, fair enough. Don't take it.

Just trying to give you a chance, that's all.

If you don't want to give me one, you wouldn't be the only one round here.

When can I start?

I'll see you Monday.

-Why don't we just go tonight? What are we waiting for?

-Well, we can't.

-Why not?

-Well, because I haven't packed. Because we have nowhere to stay.

I want to have dinner with Dad before we go.

Jay, there's a million reasons. I don't understand why all of a sudden you're so keen?

Because I just want us to get away, start our new life as quick as possible.

That's really sweet.

Well, I suppose we could go up for the weekend, you know, check it out.

See, that sounds perfect.

-I love you.

-And I love you.

There you go. Cheers, darling.

There's Mummy. Daddy'll do a sharp right.

How have they been?

Yeah. All right. Ernie's a bit grizzly, but no change there.

-Poos?

-They've done some good poos.

Good boys.

What's this?

You been to the bank?

Yes, I have been to the bank...

and I have managed to secure a loan.

-What?

-Not a big one. Enough to tide us over,

just to put a down payment for a month on a flat, you know.

-How did you manage it?

-Kat, our finances are very impressive.

-No. Come on.

-All right, I did the usual - you know, bended knee,

-shed a few tears, you know what I'm like.

-The old Alfie Moon magic.

-There you go.

Why didn't you tell me you were trying for it?

Well, I was going to tell you, it was going to be a surprise,

-but I didn't know you'd find the toy.

-It's brilliant. It's a relief, ain't it?

Not to worry about money for once.

Tell me about it. It's a huge relief.

-To be honest I had my doubts.

-What?

I thought selling the car was the only idea you had.

But you've really pulled it out of the bag.

Go on, go and celebrate. The twins can stay here.

-No, no, no, I'm fine.

-Go have a few beers at Mick's barbecue. If I need you, I'll call you. Go on.

See you later.

Alfie.

I love you.

Why wouldn't you?

-Come through.

-Cheers. I'm not going to stay for long, all right?

-All right. It's pretty clear why you're here.

-Is it?

-Yeah. Don't worry. I'll keep your secret.

-Carol. I came to see if you were OK.

Oh...yeah, I am. Thanks.

Anything I can do to help?

No. No, thanks, I've got plenty of people around.

-OK, good.

-Cos that's all that matters, isn't it?

-What's that?

-Family.

Yeah. Family.

He gives it all that this morning about helping us, and look, he's useless.

-Oi, wind your neck in!

-Coming from a geezer who can't light a fire?

Just wait. Be patient, be patient.

Did you get all that sorted this morning?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah...

Tony's going to buy your Capri, is he?

Yeah. He will. He loved it.

There you go. Look at that, look.

Everything he touches. Look.

Oh, hello, Teen. Thanks for your help today. You've been amazing.

I've been working all day. I'm exhausted.

-From working in a caff?

-Here, look, someone with a proper job.

Someone who saves lives. Don't hear her moaning, do you? Proper little hero.

She spends most of her shift sitting there playing cards.

Er, not today. Big shout. Some bloke burnt his house down.

-What? On purpose?

-Yeah. Insurance, innit.

-Did he get away with it?

-I dunno. It only happened this morning!

But in general though. Do they get away with it?

Yeah, I suppose some scumbags do, yeah.

Here's your reference.

Don't open it now. Don't want you getting a big head.

-Thanks a lot.

-Sorry it took so long.

Nah, don't be silly. Listen, thanks again.

-I appreciate it.

-Put it somewhere safe.

-I will. We're just going to nip back quick. All right?

-See ya.

-See ya.

If people only knew what a softy you really are...

-But they'll never find out, will they?

-No. They never will.

See! I told you he loves you.

Yeah. All right... Anyway, come on, we'd best get going.

Well, aren't you going to do something nice for him?

-Why?

-Well, to thank him for the reference.

And then we'll go, yeah?

Right. Come on, then.

-You all right, Max?

-All right?

-So Stacey took the job?

-Uh, yeah.

That's great. I appreciate you looking after her.

-That's all right. It's no big deal.

-Well, it is to her. And to us.

Well, my pleasure.

Oh, Max, one more thing.

You touch her, you even think about touching her, I'll cut it off.

Ta-ta.

-What have they got to eat out there?

-Burgers, I think.

-Where've you all been?

-Milton Keynes!

-What?

-We're moving there!

Tiff. Why don't you go upstairs with Whitney?

Yeah? And Morgan, you go as well.

Yeah, come on.

Well, I was going to say something but...you know what,

we just thought it'd be best if we had a fresh start.

Bit more space, good schools. We've found a house.

Uh, wait a minute. Who's we?

Me and Terry.

You're actually serious about this?

Yes. I am. Yeah. We are.

Milton Keynes? Of all the stupid ideas you've had,

-I'm sorry...

-Do you know what, Sonia, I've just walked in here

and told you something nice.

For once. And I've got a bloke that I actually love...

-You dumped him!

-We've found a brilliant house.

The kids are really excited, they're on board, so everything's perfect. But for once!

No, you cannot stand me to be happy, can you, Sonia?

Mum had cancer. You can't just move away.

HAD cancer, Sonia. Had. It's gone now. She's fine. OK.

All right. I'm still here.

And what do you think about all this?

Not my decision, is it? She can do what she wants.

Do you know, this is typical of you.

As long as you get what you want.

Classic Bianca.

Just an idea, Phil. If you need someone.

I've looked after the pub, so looking after the caff will be a walk in the park.

-Yeah. We're all right for staff at the moment, thanks.

-Yeah...

-Ian, a few weeks ago, said there might be something.

-Yeah? Well, there ain't.

-Get involved with that mustard.

-Got to have a bit of mustard.

-Course you have.

-Little bit of tom.

-Get that down you.

-Moon. All right, son?

-Yeah...

-This is a blinding day, innit?

It's one of those days where you have a few ideas

-and it all comes together.

-You think something like this just comes together?

-It's one of those days for me. Ten out of ten.

-Fantastic.

See you over there.

I can take it from here.

Why don't you go get yourself a pint?

Here. For helping me with the barbecue.

-Charity?

-No. Wages.

Mick, Mick, I'm not a charity case.

I did this cos you're my mate, I had fun.

All right, till you sell the Capri? Just something to tide you over.

-Mick, Mick, stop, stop. I don't need your money. Or your beer. All right?

-Alfie!

Alfie!

-Listen, I'm sorry, all right?

-I lied to her.

-You what?

-Kat.

I lied to her, I told her that I'd got a loan from the bank.

-Why?

-Because, Mick, for once, for once,

I wanted to be the bloke that made things better.

All right? But I could see it in her eyes.

She wanted to go straight back to work after giving birth

because she didn't think I had it in me to take care of my family.

-And you know something? She's right.

-Listen, there's other banks.

What're you talking about?

You know as well as I do they'll all say the same thing.

Got nowhere to live, no money, you know...

I can't even sell this car right now.

I'm all out of options.

What's this?

Tickets. For Bolton-Watford. Next year. At Bolton.

We're heading off for the weekend so thought I'd get this sorted before I left.

You want me to go all the way to Bolton to watch 'em play Watford?

Well, you don't have to. It was just an idea.

Nah, it's a good idea. Why not.

-Really?

-But don't expect me to sing their songs, yeah.

Listen to him. A massive northern bloke in a T-shirt wants him to sing, he'll sing.

All right, well, thanks anyway, yeah?

Right. Best get going. Got to get to Euston.

-Have a nice time.

-Yeah. See ya later.

-See you later.

Jay Brown?

We've just got a few questions to ask you. At the station.

Could you come with us, please?
