17/01/2012 EastEnders

You wanted to see me?

I've been through everything - statements, forensics,

coroner's reports.

CCTV shows that Stella jumped.

There's nothing concrete.

I know he did it!

Yeah, "I know" doesn't cut it in court.

-Lower.

-Lower, there?

-Yeah.

That's middle age for you.

-Can't handle your drink any more.

-Er, I am early 30s!

Mid 30s.

I read in The Daily Telegraph that you stop being young at 35.

I am not middle-aged. I'm just very, very hung-over.

-I'm waitressing for Jane today. You coming, right?

-£8 for bangers and mash?

Don't be tight. It's for charity.

You and Lucy getting on OK?

Yeah. Ta.

Yeah, she's a lovely girl.

You couldn't get us a little jumper, could you, babe?

Yeah, course, tell you what you need -

some carbs. Keep yourself warm, back in a sec.

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Bangers and mash this afternoon! Here y'are, Phil, be a right laugh.

-Oh, yeah, cancer, very funny(!)

-Well, you're more than welcome.

-We know you like to dig deep in your pockets(!)

-What if people think it's a downer?

With you running it, it's going to be a right laugh! Anyway, Jean's not around.

-She gone somewhere nice?

-Charlie's not well so she's keeping an eye on him.

-Nothing serious?

-Nah, all fine.

-Come on folks, charity this afternoon!

-Good news!

A mum at Bobby's school - her mate works on Walford FM. And he just called me.

They're going to mention us?

They're going to interview you!

Bangers and Mash, give us your cash!

-Thought you said you didn't want one.

-Changed me mind!

Whit.

Shut the door, please.

-I want you to pack your bags and go.

-Oh, c'mon, Bianca. Don't be stupid.

I can't deal with it, Ricky. I ain't got the energy.

Mandy was a mistake, all right? That ain't going to happen again.

What if Sam comes back or Natalie or some new tart?

But...

I asked you if there was anything else.

I gave you a chance to tell me about the baby.

-Yeah...

-You looked me in the eye and lied to me!

I don't trust you. I want you to leave today.

So I thought maybe you could be there with me?

You don't have to speak.

I'm sorry, Jane, I am.

I just really don't feel up to it at the moment.

But you'll be great, won't you? You did all that stand-up.

You can do that, you can do anything!

-SHE SIGHS

-You OK?

Yeah. I just didn't get much sleep, that's all.

Yeah, you're right. I'm a big girl now.

You don't have to come today either, y'know.

You try and stop me.

Just give me a couple of hours, let the tablets kick in.

And I'll be raring to go. You're going to be great.

Maybe it's the spark plugs.

Spark plugs?

Yeah, well, it's gotta be, ain't it?

So how do we fix that then?

You just put some more in, don't ya?

So...ain't cos the battery's disconnected then, no?

Of course, I knew that.

You ain't gotta pretend with me, Ben, you know that, don't you?

Don't even know what spark plugs look like.

Ben Mitchell?

DCI Marsden.

-Wonder if we could have a word with you at the station?

-Why? I haven't done anything.

-No-one said you did.

-So why's he got to go down the station? He's got to go back to school.

-I'll fix it.

You won't be on your own. We'll give your brother a call.

We just want you to help us with something, Ben.

Ricky, right, you got a quick five minutes?

Please, tell me it is just my hormones.

I keep ringing her number. I can't help it.

I never wanted to speak to her on the phone when she was alive, but now?

-'Oh, hello, this is Pat. Umm...'

-And it just makes me...

-Delete her number then!

-I can't! It's Pat's!

Listen... Bianca's kicked me out.

-What? When?

-Today.

-She don't mean it.

-Why would she do that?

Listen, I know Pat's died and everything

-but she's being a right moody cow at the moment.

-At the moment? Try always.

It's because I slept with Mandy.

SHE SOBS

I've just got to prove to Bianca that she's the only one that matters. I'm going to need some cash.

I knew something was up with you. Mandy? You're so stupid!

-Don't get like that.

-I'm going to the nursery. You're stupid!

You are not going anywhere, I'm not letting you. How much d'you need?

D'you know what, I'm surprised she can show her face.

Heard you on the radio.

-Yeah?

-It was really, really good. Very funny.

I mean, look, it worked. Pulled the punters in.

Thanks.

What was that for?

Come on, gloating? So not a good look, Ian.

PHONE RINGS Hello?

I only ordered one.

-Oh, right, sorry. I'll take this one back, then.

-S'all right. I'll have it.

Is it all right if I join you?

Yeah.

Cheers.

Looks nearly as tasty as you.

Everything all right?

Yeah. I've gotta go spend some time with Ben. You enjoy yourself.

-Bealey, charity!

-Skint, mate.

There's a surprise, Bealey has no change(!) Thank you, Mandy!

-(Them pills. Have you got 'em?)

-Me? No, they're in your bag.

-Here, you seen Phil about?

-No. What d'you want him for?

-Just don't want to get put off my food.

-Right, guys,

it is five pound a strip. You can win a bottle of rum, you can be pampered at Booty's,

and also there's lunch at the Argee Bhajee...

-I'll have five.

-All right, sweetheart.

-The Vic's always been lucky for me. Won unlimited crisps once.

-That's right, course you did!

-Weren't it supposed to be a holiday?

-All right, sweetheart.

Unlimited crisps, what a touch. Cheese and onion all day long for me!

Listen...about the other week.

I'm sorry.

-It's OK. We'll just be friends, eh?

-No!

I don't want to be your friend.

Oh. Right, OK.

No, I didn't mean it like that.

I love you.

Come on, folks, raising money for cancer, keep it coming! All right, Tan.

Wow, busy, isn't it? Must be to do with you being a local celebrity.

-Don't! I sounded an idiot.

-Maybe telling THREE jokes about cancer's going a bit far. I'm joking!

It's done the trick, innit? That's what's important.

-There you go.

-Thanks, Tracey.

Jane, you got a minute, sweetheart?

-Tanya, what can I get you?

-Um...

Oh, go on. I'll have one of these, then.

Just a small one, can't hurt, can it?

Thought you said this wasn't going to take long.

I just have a few questions about an old case. Stella Crawford.

-What about her?

-It seems her case wasn't quite as straightforward as we thought.

There's something I'd like to show you.

CCTV, showing the day Stella died.

C'mon, Ben's just a kid.

It's nothing gruesome. Showing footage of the 20th July, 2007.

Did your dad ever tell you what happened up there?

Did he ever say what they talked about?

Must've been some conversation.

I... I can't remember.

I know how frightening your dad can be.

You don't need to be scared of him.

You CAN tell me.

We can watch it again.

No. No. It stops now.

'Hey, ladies, welcome, thanks for coming.'

-What can I get you?

-No, Alfie, I'll get these, I'll get these.

-We're all right, thanks.

-What we having, eh? What we having?

You'll have a vodka with me, won't you, Bianca?

Yeah, all right.

Yeah. Two V and Ts, make 'em doubles.

-And I'll have the same again.

-I'll have a G and T, please.

-Don't you get it? The hypocrisy?

-It's just a fund-raiser, innit?

-Yes, in a pub! How inappropriate!

-You don't have to drink, do ya?

We're just here to support your mum.

David Wicks, y'know. Man who runs out on his family? That's weak.

-Weak.

-Yeah, we all know what you think, Derek.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I should never, ever, ever have raised my hands to you. Never.

I just want to quiet drink with my daughter.

I'm on your side!

Hi, darling!

How much you had to drink?

Only one glass of wine.

What, a pint glass?

Hello, darling. Thank you for coming. I really appreciate it.

Yeah, I didn't really have much choice.

Max, can I have a word, please? Hello, Tan.

Let's go and sit down.

I just want to... You were right.

David Wicks wasn't worth getting any more bird over.

Just he winds me up so much!

-You could have killed him, Derek.

-I know, I know, I know, I know.

I know I go too far. It's just...him.

But I know you weren't protecting Wicks.

I know you were protecting me.

I know you'd never go against your brother. Would you, Max?

Oi, oi, love ya, all right? I love ya.

Let me get you a drink, let me get you a drink. You go and sit down, eh?

Get Lauren a coke.

Luce, I can't find 'em anywhere.

-You've lost em?!

-You're so going to have to come help me.

Alfie, this is a fundraiser, innit, eh? Here y'are. Here you go.

200 quid. From me. We've all been through the cancer lately,

what with poor old Pat and poor, poor Tanya.

-It's the least I can do.

-Come on folks, let's hear it -

200 quid from Derek Branning!

I tell you what, whatever you raise today, I will double.

Janine! Thank you, sweetheart!

Listen, I've got something I want to show you.

I'm not going to talk about her.

If I talk about her I let her back in.

When I went inside it was... it was brutal.

But Stella?

Stella got in here.

She got in there, an' it was like... It was like...

Ben... She's dead,

she can't hurt you.

Tell Marsden your dad said that Stella killed herself.

Tell her you've just remembered. And all this will stop.

OK? Just lie.

Just lie.

How're you doing? Anything coming back to you?

I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the baby.

I'm sorry, I'm hopeless.

Look, I wanted to do something.

Y'know, just to show you.

I did this.

Ricky...you idiot! I don't even like tattoos any more.

-You like David Beckham's.

-No. I like David Beckham.

Oh... look, I won't do it again. I won't lie.

You never learn, do you, Ricky? WE never learn.

We just lost Pat.

It's not the time to start making big decisions.

Me going - it ain't right.

No, WE ain't right. We ain't right.

You can't go back. You can't just pretend like all them years, all them mistakes never happened.

Because they did.

I love you, Ricky.

You've given me Liam, Tiffany...

You're my best mate. I never want to stop loving you.

It's just...

if you stay, it's...

-Where is he now?

-Down there with Ian, isn't he?

-Beale?

Why him? Of all the people!

What'd the filth want?

-They're investigating Stella's death.

-Stella?

It's OK. He told them that she killed herself.

Case closed.

Get out! Both of you, go on. Get out!

You can stay.

What the hell did you take him for, eh?

You talk to the old bill, you take Ritchie.

-You let her close it down.

-Dad, I handled it.

You handled it? What you talking about? You're just a kid!

I'll call Ritchie. Who was it you spoke to down at the station?

DCI Marsden.

I could go and stay with Janine.

It ain't moving on, is it, living two doors down?

I know you, Ricky - I smile and be nice

and you'll just think it's all back on.

It ain't fair on me. And it ain't fair on you.

We'll just tell the kids you're working abroad.

We'll tell 'em the truth later.

I don't want 'em hurt more than they already are.

I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave the kids.

I don't want to go.

This ain't about what YOU want, is it?

Tan, see you at home, babe.

On my break. They done the raffle yet?

Not yet. Seeing as you're so lucky, I got you a load more tickets.

Andrew...

I love you too.

Jane, um...

I know it's not much, but I want you to have this.

-Patrick, you don't have to.

-Please. I want to.

Man, you've done Pat proud today.

Thanks.

Aww!

-So how much have we raised?

-Right, well,

once Janine has doubled it...

..1,600 quid!

No! Jane! I'm so proud of you.

I love you, so much.

Tan. Tan, how many have you had?

Two.

Only two. Tell you - this no drinking thing really works.

I'm smashed! I'm actually smashed.

Your dad's got a job abroad.

We need the money so he's going tonight.

What job?

It's a garage near your Aunty Diane.

That ain't going to work. Dad don't speak French.

Well, the fella that runs it speaks English.

So it should be all right.

So when you coming back?

Don't know, son. Soon.

So you're really going, then? You don't have to.

Come on kids. Let's get you a drink.

So he's your boyfriend?

No. No! That's Gethin Williams.

CHEF Gethin Williams.

34th best chef in the country!

-Really?

-Last year, when I left Ian, I did this haute cuisine course.

Y'know, posh cooking?

-And you copped off with him?

-He was my tutor!

-Jane, there's a bloke wants a word.

-What bloke?

I dunno, funny talking. Think he's Welsh. Come on.

He's used to the Ivy, not some back street boozer!

Stop it, Nervous Knickers. Jamie Oliver started in a pub.

Good enough for him, it's good enough for you.

Gethin. What a surprise.

I heard you on the radio. Very funny!

Knew I had to come down. Thought you might like some feedback?

100%...gorgeous.

Really? Well, I did the mash like you said,

-with the butter and the cream and...

-Which means my hunch was right.

Hunch?

I'm opening a new restaurant. And I'll need a good sous-chef.

I thought I should see you for it.

What you doing here?

I can't do this any more. It's killing me.

A man should never raise his hands to a woman.

Ever! And I did that to you.

You. All I've ever wanted to do is protect you.

I love you.

If you want to hit me you go ahead. I deserve it.

See. You're a better person than I'll ever be.

I can't ask you to do this.

But I beg you to forgive me.

Give me one more chance.

I will never ever raise my hands to you again.

I promise.

Hey.

You're leaving us.

Yeah. To see Auntie Diane.

I ain't thick.

You're leaving us.

What's wrong with us?

Why can't we all be together? Why?

Cos...

your mum and me, we think we'd be a lot happier if...

-If I was somewhere else.

-Well, I don't.

I want you here.

Want you at my dads versus sons match.

I want you at home.

It don't mean I don't love you. You gotta be strong, all right?

For Tiff and Morgan.

You got to be the man of the house.

Strong, yeah?

Come here.

Go and sort your books out for your homework, yeah? All right, all?

-Yeah, you all right?

-What's going on?

Oh, I've lost an earring. It's sentimental.

Oh, right. What's it look like? I'll give you a hand.

-No, you're all right. We'll find it.

-What are these?

-Umm...

-That, Bobby, is a very good question.

Mandy? Mandy!

You all right?

Yeah.

Ricky, I didn't mean it when I said you were stupid.

Don't worry. I am.

Yeah, a little bit. You'll work it out, won't you?

-I'm going to miss you so much.

-Hey!

Don't know why you're crying. He's only going to Paris.

Just being soppy, ain't she?

Been doing some research.

"Ce moteur est foutu. Ca va vous couter...?"

"That engine's knackered - going to cost ya.' Thought it'd be useful.

-D'you know how much I love you?

-Yeah.

You're very special, Tiff, you know that? I'm so proud of you.

All right. Don't go on.

Love you too.

Why do that? Why?

Cos...

Cos I was feeling old, OK?

I wanted Lucy to think I was all cool and...

-not middle-aged.

-Lucy?

Oh, no. She wasn't interested. Neither was I really.

I mean, I really can't handle the comedowns these days.

I'm sorry, honey. It won't happen again.

You're not middle-aged, OK?

-Just don't do it again, please?

-I won't!

All right.

So... This is it.

Don't get the sack.

No, course I won't. Come here.

I love you, yeah?

You be a good boy.

Can you buy me a beret?

What, a pink one?

Purple. Pink's for little girls.

Come here, son.

I love you, yeah?

Good boy.

Look after yourself, yeah?

Carol...

I'm sorry. You know...

for everything.

Look after B, yeah?

Yeah, well... You enjoy your job. We'll be fine.

I love you. One day...

No, Ricky. Don't.

Bye, dad! Bye!

Bye!

I'll be back before you know it.
