15/02/2016 EastEnders

Oi, oi! Come to me next time.

I would have got Abi that T-shirt made up.

Hey, ignore him! Congratulations.

It's business, innit!

Oh! Congrats, kid!

If you ever need any extra cash, I've got some fish that need gutting.

-Now that Sonny boy's doing a bunk.

-Leave it out.

Yeah, cheers, mate. Nice one.

Getting a tea.

Oh, I'm fine!

They're on the house.

No use of Valentine's balloons after Valentine's.

And send our love to Stacey.

-How's she doing? She all right?

-She'll be fine.

Good.

-Ooh!

-They said she's had a bad weekend.

Just when I thought she was getting better.

Why don't you tell her about the contact? The one who said she'd call...

Begging the nurse on the phone, Bex, ain't exactly a contact.

Cheering Stacey up, yeah?

Mate, she's ill. You can't just "cheer her up".

Yeah, well. You can try, can't you?

It's a baby, Jay. Everyone knows.

They keep saying, "Congratulations!"

Linzi still ain't replied to my text.

I reckon her phone's broke, don't you?

I'm not ready for this.

Well, of course you're not ready for this. You're gay.

Gay guys have kids.

You've got a kid already. It's never bothered you before.

No, no. This is different, all right?

I'm with Abi.

I'm going to get a coffee. It'll be a long day with you like this.

What do I do? Huh? Tell her? Marry her? Break-up?

What about Paul?

Why you listening to me all of a sudden?

Just, try not to break her heart.

Oh, hi. What you doing here? Your shift's not till later.

Making yourself useful?

Bit of shopping, covers all manner of sins.

I, um, just...

She all right?

Tricky Valentine's by all accounts.

He's probably still in shock, the way she told him.

I thought it was romantic.

Not that you'd know about that.

Re-heated takeaway was your Valentine's with Lee

from the mess I saw in the kitchen, weren't it?

Yeah. Well, at least I've got someone to make a mess with.

I love your hat.

Only one of these cards is mine. And that's from my son.

And only one of them.

Still, I suppose Ben's a bit distracted, isn't he?

Have you talked to him yet?

Mum, he's a big boy, he can do what he...

Will you stop banging that thing indoors!

-Sorry. But you said we could go!

-Yeah, well...

-Isn't it supposed to have a basket on the end of it?

-That's lacrosse.

I think that school's gone to your head.

-I mean, you're home for the holidays and all you...

-Oh, Mum, please!

Well, I'm hardly going to see you two, then you're all out tonight.

How are we going to play with only one stick?

I'll get a golf club or something. It'll be fine.

That's not the same!

-Sorry.

-Uh, visitors...

-Oh, hello.

-Hey.

Just had my breakfast, you know.

Ah, jealous? Cos we're carrying on the romance from Valentine's.

Absolutely. Mm!

Oh, um, I've noticed that there's another card in your jacket.

Yeah, that's for mum. Sorry! Mum?

Er, that's for you.

Oh, thank you, darling. That's sweet.

Just wondering if you've got any spare books, toys

that could do for JJ?

Yeah, if it's not too much bother.

-He'll look after them, won't you?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Yeah. Go on, then. Go on, then.

-That one?

-Vincent?

-Yes, mum?

Oh, well, let's just hope he stays nice and innocent as he is now.

Grow up so fast these days.

SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

-(You told him?)

-What?

Have you told him? WHAT?

Er, come in here a minute, please.

Have you told him that you've seen Lucas?

Look, cos you want to be careful. Psycho runs in the family.

Oh, he's nothing like his dad.

That's right, cos you're a great judge of character, especially when it comes to that family.

-What are you getting at? You've never liked him.

-I don't trust him.

And I don't trust you, either, when you start to lie. I know something is up.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Hi.

-Could we...?

-Yeah.

Yeah. Play nice.

Saw you sneaking in here.

Yeah, I... I've got work, I just...

No. You're hiding.

And that's fine.

But don't hide from me.

Mum, I'm not, I...

You know, with Bobby being back I thought you'd want to be with him.

Oh, er...

Sorry. I-I'll come back.

Paul, listen, I'm sorting it.

-Ben!

-Er...

Don't... Don't worry.

Just... Paul, listen...

Ben, don't go chasing after him.

And what do you mean, you're sorting it?

-Well, I dunno, what I...

-It's not fair on him. Or you.

You've got to decide what you want to do first.

There's nothing I can do, Mum.

-Well, have you spoken to Abi?

-No. Not properly.

Right. Well, then Paul can wait, can't he?

I thought you liked him!

Yeah, I do. And I want you to be happy, but...

..you have got to decide what that means.

Oh, yeah, you're tired. Go and give Mummy a cuddle.

Who's she?

My name's Eve. I'm helping your mummy get better.

Why do you need her?

I'll look after you if you came home.

Yeah, of course you will, babe.

But this is where Mummy needs to be.

-Why don't you go and give her your card you made?

-Forgot it.

-What?

-It's all right.

I did say, though, didn't I, when we were leaving, to bring the card?

It's all right. She didn't make me one. I understand.

-No, she did. She did, Stace!

-Martin, it's fine. It's fine.

You just don't want to come home!

LILY!

-Please don't raise your voice.

-Sorry.

So, congratulations are in order.

Oh, so you've heard, have you?

Sorry?

Pride of Walford Awards. Dot's a panellist.

No, I... I was talking about Abi, you know, and the baby.

Oh. Abi don't have much to do with me.

She thinks of herself as one of the Mitchells now.

I mean... Well, it's just as well.

She don't talk to her father no more and what with my Jim...

Yeah, er, Ian said - yesterday would've been...

Oh, St Valentine's Day.

Yes, well, I don't pay no heed to that.

Nor does Sonia, it seems.

She was working really late. She never even told me.

-Oh.

-Anyway, I've got a little surprise just to make up for it.

Um, hey. I've been... I've been looking for you.

For me?

Yes, you. Er, this came in the post. Must have come to the wrong door.

Er, my mum opened it by accident. I'm sorry.

-Open it for me, will you? I've got too much in me hands.

-Of course. There you go.

Oh. Oh! It's from Arthur!

Oh, I've been ever so worried about him.

Aw, that's nice, innit? All I got was one from Ian.

Although he's denying it, obviously.

So probably a meal for one in the microwave, home alone.

Well, Valentine's for couples, ain't it? Not for people like us.

Oh, I haven't got long.

I've, er, not told the vets yet. Do you think that I should?

Er... HE CLEARS THROAT

Abi, I've been thinking.

-What?

-I need to tell you something.

Er...I think we should start looking for flats again.

And, er, you should be the one to tell Lola, because...

-I don't think we should do this.

-What?

The baby.

Abi, we're...

We're still young, yeah?

You're still SO young.

We haven't even got a place of our own yet.

You know, we've... We've got time.

Look, I made a mess of it with Lexi.

Who am I if I just jump in with another kid after ignoring her?

Are you breaking up with me?

No! I'm...

Look, I...

We could go private. This place is nice.

They say if you're not even that far along it's...

It's nothing, it's easy - it's just a pill or something. It's...

Abi, please don't cry.

But...

But I love you.

Yeah, and I...

I...

Look, Abi, wait. I'm screwing this up, I know.

Just give me a chance to expl... Abi!

DOOR SLAMS

-Hey.

-Hm?

-These just came.

-Wow!

So what? You got a boyfriend, then?

What? Oh, no, no. It's, er...

They're from Libby and Chelsea. It's a late Valentine's.

Oh, come on, Pam. It's just a drink.

-I know your game, Honey Mitchell.

-Oh? And what's that?

What's Billy doing? Having a word with Les?

And we accidentally bump into each other,

day after spending Valentine's all alone?

-Would that be so bad?

-Paul!

I'm going to take a break, er, but I don't mind packing up

if you want to get off early.

Look, Pam, loads of us are going. Kathy!

Drink in the Vic after work?

Just us ladies.

Er...sure. Yeah, sure, let's do it.

There you go.

Better than being stuck in that undertaker's all day, eh?

Yeah. Drinking and maths have never mixed for me.

Er...pint.

Please.

You going to be a dad just like your dad, then?

Stuck in here, getting wasted. Monday afternoon, all on your own.

Will you shut up?

Sorry!

Er...

Did you sort it, then?

Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Come on.

Look. Over here.

I was just saying "thank you".

With flowers?

Straight after Valentine's?

All right. All right, I get it.

No more flowers.

And, er... And no more visits. Cos I'm not coming any more.

Hey, hey. Hang on.

You telling me you come all this way to complain about a bunch of flowers?

-Do anything special yesterday?

-No, no. We didn't make a fuss.

Oh, yeah? I find that hard to believe.

Your missus is hardly subtle, is she?

Oh, Lil - pick it up for us, babe.

Yeah. Well, if anything becomes available, just let me know.

Yeah, Martin Fowler. I came in the other day. Er...

-Yeah, yeah, that was me.

-You all right, Lily?

All right. Thank you. Bye.

Er, sorry. She's got the hump since seeing her mum, ain't you, Lil?

Was that the MBU? ARTHUR CRIES

All right, mate. I get the message.

Kush, do us a favour, mate - just take Arthur.

Oh. I'll get these, mate.

I'll get him.

All right, Son, thank you.

You... You look like you could do with a break, mate.

Hey, fancy a night out?

-Tonight, me and you, the Vic?

-I thought you got thrown out.

Yeah. All right. I didn't get barred, though, did I?

Come on. Bex can look after the little ones - you said she was helping out.

-How come you're so desperate for a booze up?

-BANGING

-All right. Yes.

-Yes?

-I could do with it.

-Yes! All right. Go hard and...

-BOTH:

-Don't go home.

-That's it.

-Yeah, all right.

Yes. Yes, I know.

I told her we're not ready.

She could get an abortion.

Oh, tell me you didn't tell HER that.

You being serious?

It's my life too!

Yeah. Stop thinking about yourself!

It's not just myself I'm thinking about.

What? What, me?

You need to keep me out of this.

There's a kid now.

You need to man up.

Look, is this about Abi and the baby?

So?

Well...

I've seen Abi talking to Lee's Aunt Babe a lot.

And I wouldn't trust Babe as far as I could throw her.

What's that meant to mean?

Oh, don't trouble yourself, love.

Nah, you can go upstairs.

I'm the one stuck here for the rest of my life, ain't I?

Oh, Lee got his job fair and square.

Don't jump to conclusions, Ben.

She's clearly got a problem with Babe.

Ben, listen to me.

What if Abi's lying?

Yeah? Maybe she guessed I was going to ditch her.

She's been all over me this weekend. What if...

She's been all over you because she loves you and she's having your kid!

Ben!

BEN!

Oh! Are you ganging up on me? Setting us up?

I didn't think you were so manipulative.

H-He didn't know. Neither did Paul.

-Pam, look, we just thought...

-I don't care what you thought.

I'll decide.

Not all of you.

Jor-Jordan is all right?

Yeah, well...

They messed him up a bit. But he's... He's fine.

They won't be back.

What if they'd killed him?

Hm? What if those boys had killed him?

What if it was a screw coming to me now to tell me that my boy was...

He's all right.

He'd have died hating me, you know.

And his son, my grandson...

He'd be in care.

JJ is all right. And Jordan...

He's fine.

Oh, oh. He's fine, is he?

Or is he involved with gangs a-a-and drug dealers

and smack heads chasing him all around London,

beating the hell out of him? Cos that's what I just heard.

OK. This ain't going to happen any more.

And you can't say you haven't brought it on yourself.

I can...

I can ask him if he'll come and see you.

I'm not promising anything.

But you two, you should...

I mean...

It's what he deserves after what he's been through

these past few years.

He needs to know that you care.

You know, I...

I don't deserve you.

-You seen my phone? There.

-Hm?

I keep thinking I hear it.

I woke up twice last night imagining it.

Right. We're leaving that behind, then.

Nah. What happens if Bex wants to get hold of me?

Well, she knows where we are if she needs us, doesn't she?

You've already seen Stacey today. You made your calls to the hospitals.

J-J-Just come out. Yeah?

And just forget about it for one night.

-Yeah?

-Nah.

No. All right. Where you going?

Toilet. Don't worry - we've got plenty of time for drinking!

All right. Got to have a break, mate.

-Yeah?

-You'll go mad otherwise.

To the Vic.

Pam! Look, I didn't know. You do believe that?

Yes, of course I do. You don't need to...

Oh. I'm sorry I shouted in front of you. It's very embarrassing.

Yeah, well, I... I've seen worse.

Look, your Les. He's all right, though.

I'm well aware of that.

And I mean... Well, is a drink such a terrible thing?

I don't like getting pushed into things.

Not that Honey or Billy listen.

Yeah, well, from what I can gather Billy isn't really

the brains of the Mitchells, is he?

And... Well, him and Honey - they've got good intentions.

I'm very fond of them both.

Yeah, well, I think you made them feel really guilty in there, so...

-Well, even if it's not for Les, maybe you should...

-Ah-ah!

You're just as bad.

I haven't even closed the stall properly. I was going to get Paul...

Well, why don't you get Paul to do it when you go in there?

I don't know when I agreed to this.

THEY CHUCKLE

-Thanks, Kathy.

-Cheers.

-JAY:

-You totally packing up work, then?

So, you dragging me off to the abortion clinic, or...

-That's not fair, is it?

-Well, that's what he asked me.

Came to lunch and started googling abortions.

Do you need one, though?

What?

Do you need one, Abi?

Are you even pregnant?

What?

You're lying, aren't you?

I knew it. You're lying!

-Right, you're getting desperate now, mate.

-YOU'RE LYING!

Tell me the truth!

What, you want to see it?

After everything that you said this morning, I hoped it wasn't true -

that it was some sort of mistake -

because you clearly don't want it.

And I don't want to make you unhappy. So I checked again.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologise.

Yeah. Coward!

Come on, lightweight. Catch up.

Yes, please.

Yes!

KUSH CHUCKLES

I didn't know where else to go.

Well, you've got to say you're sorry.

Abi'll understand.

And you need to tell your dad.

Yeah, that'll make things better(!)

I'm not saying it will, but it's got to be done.

You came here so you obviously want to.

What am I being told?

What? With him like this?

Oi. Who d'you think you're talking to? Eh?

Ronnie, actually. Not you.

You're feeling brave.

Is that cos you're going to be a dad again?

Hm?

Feeling like the big man?

I hear things.

And she announced it in the middle of the pub, didn't she?

And I've just got to say...

-..whoops!

-HE CHUCKLES

They nice. Hm?

So what happen - Lucas win you over with a bunch of flowers, hm?

Yeah, he's been doing a little bit of flower arranging on a Sunday, inside(!)

They're from Libby and Chelsea, so there's no need to get paranoid.

Oh, so is that what I'm being? Hm?

FRONT DOOR CLOSES

Jordan?

You want me?

No, come here. I need to... I need to tell you something.

-I went to see Lucas.

-What?

I've told him everything -

about JJ and all the trouble that you've had.

-Why'd you do that?

-He's your father.

He needs to know, and...

..he wants to see you.

You know, I always liked you, Denise. You know why?

Cos I thought you weren't a fool.

I did what I thought was best.

You want me to ignore the things you've done

and give you a chance to start again, try again, and...

I-I suppose that's what your father wants as well.

-So now you're defending him?

-I'm not defending anyone.

Yeah, the boy's mum got killed.

Stop it, Patrick.

So you find out Abi's pregnant,

you're going to have another grandchild,

me a dad again...

and you say nothing?

What do you want me to say? "Congratulations"?

I love her.

You...

love boys.

You can't help yourself.

So what are you going to do?

Take the kid to the park? Go to parents' evenings?

What would you know about being a dad?

Well, I'm here, ain't I?

I'm sat here and you're stood there.

You're sat there with a drink.

Detail.

Look at my role model.

Look at this.

I'm going to show you.

Show me what?

See, I'm not going to be like you.

I'm not going to be weak.

I'm weak, am I?

I'm going to...

man up.

FRONT DOOR CLOSES

Birdie.

Pam.

I'll be straight. Lee's done you a favour - that Rat is a dump.

Everyone knows it.

Yeah, cos this place is well classy, eh?

# ..too good to be true... #

Come on! # Can't take my eyes off of you... #

Here we are, look.

# You'd be like heaven to touch

-# I wanna hold you so much... #

-Oi, oi, oi! Get your hands off her!

He's messing around, Bill. All right?

What's the world coming to? I'm...

-You can't touch a man's wife without him getting upset.

-I'll take you outside, you mug!

-Yeah?

Oi, oi, oi, oi.

Oi! Can we have a bit of respect, eh?

We've had... We've had a laugh.

Come on, Kush. What are you playing at?

-HONEY:

-Come on, Billy, let's just go home.

-Go on. Run on, Milly Bitchell.

-I ain't running anywhere!

-All right. Billy, go home.

-Good idea to go, mate. Good idea.

-That's enough.

That's enough? Sorry...

Do I answer to you?

-Martin, he's making a habit of this. Get him home.

-I will. I'll try.

Kush, do yourself a favour. Go home.

Make me.

Come on, make me.

I will.

You will? You will? Do you know... Do you know what?

I remember...

Yeah, I remember having to carry you

over the finishing line of a half marathon but, yeah, go on.

You... You take me on, Masood. Come on, Masood.

You know what, Kush? I remember a few things, too.

Maybe I should tell Martin a few of them.

He might be interested in them.

No. Sorry. Time to go, Kush.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Masood, apologies. Mick.

-Goodnight, all.

-Whoa!

-Oi, here we go. Here we go.

All right. Whoa, whoa.

You spoken to Abi?

Mum. Sorry. Sorry.

-Abi!

-Look, I'm already late. Can we not?

-No, wait. I want to say sorry.

-Sure(!)

No, I mean it. All right? I don't know where my head's been at.

I don't want you to be unhappy.

I'm not.

Yeah, right, because you're thrilled about this baby(!)

You know what? Yeah, I am.

I just spoke to my dad.

What? And what - he talked you round!?

No. No, no, no.

No, I wanted to kill him.

Cos he's selfish and cruel.

And he's not really been there for me - not really.

He's always put himself first - what's best for him.

Rarely has he ever shared a thought about me.

I don't want to be like that.

You're not.

I am. Well, I have been.

It's going to stop from now on. It's me and you, innit?

It's me, you and the little baby.

Whatever you said to Nan worked.

-I haven't made you cry again, have I?

-No.

PHONE: 'You have one new message.

'Hi, is this Martin?

'I'm calling from the mother and baby unit in Chelmsford.'

There.

OK?

You OK?

I'm going to go see him.

-I'll call the prison, sort out a visiting order.

-You what?

-Tell him to stay away.

-Listen to me.

The man, he can't get to you from inside a cell.

He's got to Denise, hasn't he?

You sure you know what you're doing?

He's my responsibility. He's my father.

Yes. Even easier for him to get in your head,

just like he did with Denise.

Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, please -

promise me you're not going to go and see him.

Fine. I'll leave it.

You're going to make a go of it.

That's good news, I would have thought.

Yeah, but he didn't actually believe me. He said I was lying.

-I told you that test would come in handy.

-Look, I don't know if...

I thought you didn't want to lose him. I thought you loved him.

-I do!

-Then act like it.

A lie's no longer a lie when you make it true.

Yeah, but there isn't actually a baby. I'm not pregnant.

Well, you better get pregnant. Fast.

BANGING

Come on! Hey!

Fowler! You coming down? Oi!

There you are, mate. What you been doing?

I've got some tins. Drinky times.

You left my phone up there.

A nurse from an MBU called.

Stacey got a place.

-Oh, mate. That is great!

-No, she HAD a place -

if I'd have called back an hour ago. It's gone now.

-All right. Well, there'll be another one, won't there?

-No.

She needs a place before her review on Friday.

Look, you haven't seen the state of her.

If I don't find somewhere, if she hasn't got somewhere to go,

she ain't going to cooperate, yeah? Then she'll get herself sectioned.

-All right.

-Look, I promised her.

-Sorry. Sorry. I just...

There's nothing you can do about it now.

-Let's have a couple of drinks.

-Just because you let your wife down

and she left you doesn't mean I'm going to do the same to Stacey.

I ain't going to let her down.

Do you know what?

Go on.

Looks like you already have.

Come here. Come here.

Come on. Again.

Come on! Hit me again!

Glad you got my card.

Will you be my Valentine?
