10/11/2011 EastEnders

-Dad, don't!

-The best way forward is to go to the police.

Clarke!

Clarke! Get out here now!

He's not in, he's probably at work.

Clarke!

'Open up!

'CLARKE?!'

PHIL BANGS ON DOOR

-I tell you what, how about a toast?

-To what?

Amy and Yasmin.

-Amy and Yasmin.

-Amy and Yasmin.

I don't think it's wise to hunt him down.

Watch it!

Who do you think you are, Phil?!

Oi! Clarke!

-Does he mean you?

-I dunno!

-What you done to my son, eh?

-Nothing.

-You're a liar, ain't ya?

-I don't know what he's said...

-Told me what happened!

-He told me what you did!

-What's he talking about?

-I'm talking about your boyfriend touching up my kid!

-Phil!

So, Christian's next on your hit list, is he?

-You've always got to intimidate someone.

-Shut up, big mouth!

-You don't scare me, Phil.

-Hold on, what's going on here.

-What's happened?

-I don't know what he's said, I never touched him!

-You're a liar!

-I never laid a finger on him!

Ben, it's all right, just tell your dad what happened.

Don't talk to him! Don't even look at him! You hear me?

We all hear you, Phil! Hear you talking rubbish! Now, Ben...

-I've told you once, haven't I?

-You want to know what happened? You really want to know?

-He tried to kiss me.

-What?

-Now, I didn't encourage it.

Ben, just tell your dad what really happened.

-It's all right, Ben, don't let him bully you.

-I'm not!

Make you feel good? Did it, eh? Touching up a kid? You nonce!

-I ain't got to listen to this.

-Oi, I'm talking to you!

You want to mess with me, eh?!

You want to mess with my kid? YEAH?

What have you done?

Dad! DAD!

-Did that really just happen?

-He's going to come back, with mates or a weapon...

-Let him!

All right? I've not finished my lunch.

-Did he say he touched Ben?

-Yeah, but he can't have.

Course not, but why would he say that?

-Christian, I just want to go home.

-I'm not running away.

Syed is right, Phil's not going to take this lying down. Just go home.

I'll go and get Shirley. If anyone can talk Phil down she can.

What? Huh?

Come on, let's just go.

Right, he's fine, he's on his computer.

-Anything could have happened to him.

-We didn't know he'd gone.

-He travelled half way across London, you didn't even realise he was missing?!

-He was playing outside.

I'm not talking to you.

This is not my fault.

Bobby's told me all about you.

-Didn't tell me you were into dressing up though.

-This? This is my wedding dress.

SHE LAUGHS

Course it is.

Congratulations, Ian, by the sounds of it, you deserve each other.

You look good.

Yeah, I am good. I'm great, in fact.

Funnily enough, as soon as I left you and this house I managed to sort myself out just fine.

Can't say the same about you - you've aged about ten years since I last saw you.

-Have you just come here to insult us?

-No...

I've come to take my son.

What's going on?

-What?!

-Apparently, it's been going on for weeks, behind Syed's back.

But Ben is only 16!

-15.

-That dirty, disgusting monster! HAMMERING ON DOOR

'Get out here, you sicko!'

I told you you were spending too much time with Ben!

I was trying to help him, give him some support because his dad wasn't!

-I'm calling the police.

-What for? I can handle Phil Mitchell.

GLASS SMASHES

-Phil, leave it!

-Where is Ben?

-He touched my boy!

Well, let's call the police let them deal with it!

I'm coming for you, son!

GLASS SMASHES

-What's happening out there?

-Your brother's moved in next door, it's probably one of his gay parties.

Either that, or he's eyed up somebody's life partner

-and he's having a strop.

-'You're a dead man, Clarke!'

-You're the only one that can stop him, Ben!

-NO!

-I know you like Christian, he's a good guy. You have got to stop your dad.

-Get off me!

Listen to me, I know Christian wouldn't have done this, OK!

-I know it!

-He did, all right!

-Look, he said he liked me and he touched me!

-What?! No way, Ben.

Ben, look at me.

Look at ME!

OK? I know you're going through a hard time

and you know that I love you, I love you, OK?

but this is wrong, I can see it in your eyes!

I know Christian wouldn't have done this and so do you.

Now, you tell your dad before he kills him.

This is too much, it wasn't meant to go this far.

You thought Phil Mitchell would forgive and forget?

What if Syed gets hurt? What have you done?

What have WE done, Amira.

SHIRLEY: 'Phil, leave it!'

Phil, NO!

-I've done nothing wrong!

-Think he's in the mood to listen to sense?

-Stop it, Phil!

-Get out! I'm calling the police!

What with? With this?

Phil I know you're angry, but I swear to you I never touched him,

-I swear it!

-You! You are going to suffer.

-No-one touches my boy!

-He's lying, Phil! He's making it up!

-Christian!

-Jane?

-Ah!

-No, Phil!

-Get off him, get off him!

-Stop it! He hasn't done anything!

-Get out of my way!

-This isn't helping anyone!

-It's helping me!

Yeah, cos that's what this is all about, innit, you?!

The fact YOU can't handle your son is gay!

-What are you doing?

-I'm telling him the truth!

Swing your bat as much as you like, Mitchell,

-your son STILL gets off looking at blokes!

-Just shut up!

-Shut your mouth!

-No! Dad, no, I lied!

He didn't touch me, all right?

I just wanted to hurt him, he didn't do anything.

You see, Phil! You happy now?

-I never laid a finger on him.

-You're an animal!

Get out, get out of our home!

Phil...

Phil, come on, let's go home.

YOU TOO, BEN!

Christian!

-I might have known it was you smashing up the place!

-Shut up, Beale!

You see, everything's gone quiet.

That is not good. Quiet is never good!

-I'm calling the police.

-What, and make matters worse?

-Yusef...

I know what Phil Mitchell is capable of.

Amira, I think you and Yasmin ought to stay here for today,

-if that's all right with you, Zainab?

-Of course, but why?

Well, Christian targeted Phil's son.

In the Mitchell world, I think that means the whole family is a target.

Who knows who he's going to come after next?

No, no, he wouldn't, I'm going to go out there.

Zainab, think of those babies sleeping upstairs.

Syed's old enough to look after himself, they're not.

Come, let's go and check on them.

-What did you say it for?

-I don't know, all right!

What do you mean you don't know?! You know how Phil would react.

He could have killed him and got sent down for life. Is that what you want?

-Of course not! I just didn't think...

-No, no. You ain't getting away with it that easy, all right?

You're a mess, look at ya.

I've tried to be your mate, all right?

I don't care if you like blokes, it don't exactly bother me,

but saying he touched you, that is just sick.

Oh, so I'm sick now? So, you're saying I'm sick?!

Don't turn this round on me, all right, you know you done wrong.

I really respected you for telling your dad you was gay.

I thought that really brave knowing how he'd react,

but now you're just nothing but a coward.

Now you started this,

grow a pair and finish it and go and face your old man, now!

How's your shoulder?

I'll be fine.

I'll just lay off the lats for a few days.

You know, honestly, I go away for a couple of months and look at you!

I've missed you.

Me too.

I'm sorry, Jane, but I need to speak to Christian.

Oh, erm...

Right.

Excuse me.

Sorry, we were just worried about Christian and Syed.

They're OK, more or less.

Ben admitted he was lying.

Phil's gone, but...

look at all the mess!

It's awful, just awful.

Well, if you need any help...

Thanks.

Jane?

Mas.

It'll be in the papers, there'll be a court case,

-Syed will have to testify!

-We don't know that.

I know that! And with our luck it'll be front page news.

Maybe it was a mistake?

A mistake? When people smash your windows in?

I wish we had never moved here!

I wish Syed had never met that man!

It's not good news.

Christian and Syed weren't there, but Phil smashed up the place

and now he's looking for them. It's still not safe.

What are we going to do?

I think I should spend the day here and protect you.

-Yes, thank you.

-I can stay the night if necessary.

No, you can't, it wouldn't be appropriate.

You'd rather put the children at risk?

Well, you sent my sister away, so this better be good.

Why didn't you tell me Ben kissed you?

-I thought it was nothing.

-What, because guys are always kissing you?

-How many more haven't you told me about?

-Come off it.

That's pathetic and you know it. He's just a kid!

Be honest...

..you thought I'd touched him.

-Of course not!

-Then why all these questions?

I saw it in your eyes, Sy.

I saw doubt.

I was shocked.

-I know you wouldn't do something like that.

-You thought I could tamper with DNA!

-That's got nothing to do with this.

-Yes, it has!

When anybody comes waving a finger at me you stand there,

with your mouth opening and closing, like a goldfish.

-It's never your first thought to defend me!

-That's not fair.

What's not fair is you blaming any of this on me.

I don't know what goes on in Ben Mitchell's warped mind,

but what I do know is I did nothing to encourage it.

All right? He tried to kiss me, I said no.

I told him I was his mate, nothing else.

Phil comes in here and all I can think about is protecting you!

Oh, so I need protecting now, do I?

From crazy men with baseball bats, yes, Sy!

And because I love you...and you protect the people that you love.

But you, your first thought is,

-"I wonder where he touched him exactly?"

-Don't be so disgusting!

And I wouldn't need protecting if you hadn't brought all of that to our home!

You shouldn't have provoked him!

-Yasmin could have been here...

-Of course.

..but you don't think about anyone else.

-It's just Christian, Christian...

-I put you first all the time!

Your relationships with your family, your wife, your child!

I mean, all this talk of getting us married, adopting.

Something like this happens and you're just...

No, no, no, you crossed a line.

You want to help a gay teenager you give him a leaflet,

send him to a youth club, but, no, Christian has to be involved, doesn't he? And why?

Why, because you knew.

You knew he fancied you, but you were too vain to push him away

-because you just LOVE being adored, don't you?

-Well, that's rich from Mr Bi-now Gay-later, huh?

Holding your child in one hand, flirting with your wife,

-keeping your options open.

-If I am, who could blame me

when my boyfriend's been checking out the junior squad?!

I hope you meant that.

-I'm due back at work.

-No.

You're going to have to pay for the damages.

What you talking about? He started it. He hit me, didn't he?

Yeah, and I bet that dented your pride.

Look, you just done what any father would've done.

So, why did Ben lie to me?

I don't know.

Maybe he wanted you to hurt Christian?

-Ask him.

-Ask him?

I don't know what to say to him these days.

Anyway, he only got that punch in cos I weren't ready.

I know.

I'm going to go upstairs, leave you two to it.

Christian told me about you and Zainab getting divorced.

-I did mean to call.

-Oh, it's OK.

-Have you come back for Ian?

-No.

No, no way. Bobby turned up at mine...

..but it's a good job that I did with what happened.

I mean, poor Ben, what was he thinking?

I should go see Syed.

Oh, I think him and Christian are having words, but he's fine, really.

Oh, come on, there's got to be hope for you and Zainab?

You get tired fighting for something after a while,

when you realise there's nothing left to fight for.

There's everything to fight for - there's the children...

Er, you know.

Tamwar's married now,

Shabnam and Syed, they've got their own lives...

I do get to see a lot of Kamil, we're very civilised about contact.

It's not the children that I miss.

You must still love her.

Honestly?

I don't know.

I'm not just saying that because it's you.

Because it's me?

That was a long time ago.

I've really missed you.

Bobby's fine.

Asked if Jane was still here.

What did you say?

Said she'd be back later.

Remind me, how long was you married for?

Four years.

What, you just woke up one day and thought, "I don't love you any more?"

No, it was the other way round.

She just came out with it one day, said she didn't love me any more.

Do you want her back?

Because, y'know, if you do and you think you make a go of it then,

then you should, for Bobby's sake.

I've been finding it really difficult whenever I saw her...

..but I didn't today, and that's down to you.

Oh...

Look, I'm so sorry about Bobby running away.

I wasn't being mean to him, or anything. I really like him.

Shh.

And I'm sorry that I shouted at you for letting him play outside, OK?

No, no, no, I get it, I get it. You know, you're a good dad.

I never had one of those and my mum wasn't much cop either.

Bobby's really lucky to have two parents that really care about him.

Next time he's on the skive I'll keep him inside.

Next time he's on the skive keep him in school!

What, and become the wicked stepmum? No way!

I can wait all day, you know.

Don't you think you owe me an explanation?

I didn't want to come home...

but I don't want you thinking I'm just a kid...

cos I'm not running away.

All right.

Well, let's have it then. Why did you say it?

Why did you lie to me?

I dunno.

You don't know?!

Help me out here, will you? I'm trying my best to understand you.

The doctor just saw me run away, all right.

-He kept asking me questions.

-Run away from what?

I...

I tried to kiss Christian, but he pushed me away.

PHIL SIGHS

I tried to kiss him cos I fancy him.

Just like you kissing Shirley, or Glenda,

or any other women you've kissed.

I fancy him, all right?

You lied about kissing Glenda anyway.

-I mean, you're always lying!

-I was going to kill him, all right?

Like any other dad would've done. I was going to kill him for you,

so just drop the attitude, cos this just ain't right.

-Well, not every dad is...

-Yeah, well, I'm the only dad you've got, ain't I?

-Yeah, and I'm the only son you've got.

-Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

You're my boy and I...

I dunno, Ben.

This is beyond me, I just don't know what to say to you any more,

but lying, lying like this, it stops you being a proper Mitchell.

Life's hard enough, all right?

I'm the way I am and you're the way you are.

Let's just accept that.

But no more lies, all right?

-YUSEF:

-'The way you worry about keeping up to date,

'especially with situations like this.

'Kamil's away, Syed, well, he's no use, is he?'

-ZAINAB:

-'Why is this happening to us?'

I never doubted you. I know you couldn't have done that.

-Yeah, well, that's more than my boyfriend thinks.

-Don't be stupid.

He wants to think the worst of me, Rox. What does that say about us?

He doesn't think you touched Ben, all right,

-he would never believe that.

-Proposing, adopting...

I've just been kidding myself.

Well, not any more.

What's that supposed to mean?

I was worried about you.

I'm fine. It was all lies, Ben admitted it.

Of course it was.

Even I wouldn't think that of Christian,

but they have been spending a lot of time together. I'm not saying anything happened,

-but it probably wasn't the best idea.

-That's what I said.

He gets so defensive.

We need some space, would you mind staying at my mum's tonight?

Yeah, course. I'll be thinking of you.

Oh, we'll be all right.

Just need to talk.

I started a course - don't laugh!

It's in Mechanics.

-Now why would I laugh?

-Oi!

Thought I could buy myself a car

and then if anything went wrong I could fix it,

or at least change a tyre. All part of my new independence.

Wow, you're moving on, that's good.

I wish I could!

Well, I probably could, but I'd have to move away

so I wouldn't have to see Zainab and that man every day,

-but then I wouldn't see Kamil so catch 22.

-Masood? Masood?

You will not believe what Phil's done now.

You know, someone needs to stop that bully because I'm... Jane!

-All right, Denise.

-What you doing here? You back for good?

Just visiting at the moment.

Oh.

Oh, well, I'd best leave you to it then.

-It's really good to see you.

-And you.

So...

..you seeing anyone?

No...are you?

Me? Oh, they're lining up(!)

No, I'm not.

Erm, would you...

Would you like...?

What?

I was thinking of going to the cinema later.

I'd love to.

You want to be careful.

What do you want?

I need Yasmin's bag, I left it here.

It's in the bedroom.

You know...

you ruined my life. I've never really said that to you, but you did.

Amira, please...

-I don't need this right now.

-I didn't need what you did to me, but you still did it.

My husband left me.

I was pregnant, degraded...

..tainted by Syed being with you.

Judged by the community.

It's not a nice feeling, is it?

-I'll bring him round in a week, how about that?

-There's no need.

I'm just nipping back to my flat, throw a few things in a suitcase.

-I've decided that Bobby needs both his parents.

-You can't live here!

Obviously. I'll stay with Christian

and it's OK, I'm not wanting to disturb things,

it's just he clearly needs both of us, can't you see that?

We're managing.

-It was difficult at first, but he's adjusting.

-Is he?

-Yes.

-Really?

-YES!

-I don't want to row with you, I just want what's best for Bobby.

-She's right.

Well, Bobby needs you both.

Thanks.

Right, well, I'll be back in a couple of hours.

Maybe you should come back later and read him a story or something?

Shouldn't she, Ian?

Yeah, you should.

You were very friendly.

Well, it's good she's sticking around for Bobby.

Long as that's all she's sticking around for.

-Maybe I should ask Masood?

-What are you saying?

-You'd rather have him protect you than me?

-No, of course not!

Well, that's what I'm hearing.

I didn't think, I'm sorry.

Yusef, I'm really worried.

Phil Mitchell is a dangerous man.

Please, will you stay?

Please?

If that's what you really want.

It is.

Christian?

-Where are you going?

-Away from here...

and away from you.

-Don't be stupid.

-I've been stupid, Sy.

-Stupid to think this'd work.

-You're running away because of Ben?

This is nothing to do with Ben, and I'm not running away.

It's about us.

Only I don't think there is an "us" any more.

-Christian...

-I mean it.

I love you.

And I love you too...

..it's not enough any more.

I thought it was, but it's not, I've just been kidding myself.

No...

Please!

-Just go.

-Don't do this!
