You all right? How you getting on with the last one?

If you people stop interrupting me, I'll be fine.

Blimey. Listen to her.

Abs, I could teach you more than any exam.

Schooled at the university of life, I was.

Just ignore him. She's going to do us proud, ain't you, darling?

My little girl, all grown up. Look, even gets her own post.

You all right keeping an eye on the car lot while I go and see Satan?

-Satan?

-Yeah, the bank manager.

No. No, I've got to do Cruella's hair rehearsal. I did tell you.

She don't need her barnet doing,

all she's got to do is give it a scrub, get the spiders out.

That's what I love about you. Always so supportive.

-See you later, darling.

-See ya.

-So, you will do it or not?

-Yes, I can do it.

-Sweet.

-Sweet?

-Yeah, I'm down with the kids.

Look, don't worry about it, it's fine. It's only one sicky.

I'm so sorry, Dad, I'm never like this. I don't even really drink.

It is all right. You let your old man look after you, eh?

Poppy! Poppy!

Oh, thank you so much for doing this.

Honestly, with Gaynor away I am up to my eyeballs. Hello!

Hello! Don't be silly. It's me and you, ain't it?

Y'know - dream team reunited.

-Get under the brolly.

-Ta.

Never let it be said that my uncle is just a dodgy antiques dealer.

-What you on about?

-Been on the phone to Eddie.

He's transferred the money for the VAT.

Oh, has he? That's so good.

-Brilliant.

-Yes.

-Yeah, yeah. Good.

-OK, I'm going to take this out.

-All right.

What's she still doing here?

Kat, she's got a kid.

We said we're good for money to the end of the week. All right?

We need to be worrying about the money we lost, not her.

-Listen, sweetheart, about Michael, all right...

-I don't care

what Michael and Lady Muck think.

They're getting away with stitching us up and blaming Jean.

You think the little green men might've taken it away, do ya?

You actually believe them two over Jean?

Kat sweetheart, listen.

Can me and you, can we just be happy for half an hour, yeah?

Can you do that?

-You need proof, and I'm going to get proof.

-Oh stop!

Jean! Get your shoes on.

Now, there ain't a hangover known to man that a bit a pork can't cure.

You go and take a seat, darling.

On your lonesome?

My dad's in Devon with my brother. He'll be back any time.

Not interested.

I know it was you that got her in that state last night.

Not my fault if she can't handle her booze, is it?

Now, how about you make us a couple of sausage sandwiches on the house.

I'll go over there and I'll forget that you said that.

How about you don't tell me what to do?

Now I'm playing nice, here. All sunshine and smiles.

But don't push it.

Don't push what, Mr Branning?

I've changed my mind. I don't think we should break in.

What? And let them two get away with taking you for a ride?

No, it's just I don't want to get into trouble with the police.

Janine! That's a bit careless, ain't it?

Janine?

Should've told me you was popping through, Mr Hardcastle.

Is there somewhere a bit less public we could have a word?

Oh, so this is an official visit, is it?

I've just heard a few things regarding a police raid.

Say no more, Joe. Say no more.

Tell you what, why don't we go back to mine and have a nice little chat, eh?

I thought we were going to spend the day together?

We will, sweetheart. We will.

Tell you what, you finish that, and then we'll head up west.

Hmm? Spend some quality father and daughter time. Yeah?

This won't take long.

-I didn't get you in trouble with your dad, did I?

-No, he's fine.

Must be hard having a crim' as a dad.

He's promised he's gone straight, Lucy.

I wish people would just give him a chance.

It's no use. If he's deleted the files at the gym

he's hardly likely to leave paperwork lying around about it.

He's too clever.

I always did love a compliment. Thank you.

-I told you it's not over.

-You say so many things, Kathleen.

Why can't you just stop lying? The truth will out. It always has.

I feel sorry for people like you.

Constructing little fantasies to get yourselves through the day,

living your grotty little lives,

seeing me and Janine - happy, wealthy.

Terrible thing, jealousy.

You think we're jealous of you?

You know what they say - problems at home, problems away.

I bet you wonder why you ever came back, don't you?

Tell you what, why don't we go and speak to the organ grinder?

I'm bored of talking to her monkey.

I mean, after Jode left it was well sad,

not Brad and Jennifer sad, but sad-sad.

Now though, it's like I'm reborn. I'm Brangelina.

Well, that's my mind at rest.

I got a plush flat in the city. I'm my own boss.

And the business is going really well.

-You are such an inspiration, Tanya.

-There are other words I can think of.

Oh, sorry.

And you, Miss Butcher. You've always been so independent.

I suppose that'll change now, though. What with the baby coming.

You think I'm just going to turn into some doting housewife?

Nothing wrong with that, is there?

Well, it doesn't seem to have agreed with you does it?

This would probably be easier with your mouth shut.

I think it's beautiful, marriage. Security, trust, commitment.

Y'know, if you're all right here for a minute, Poppy,

I'm just going to check on the car lot.

Excuse me, I've actually paid for two specialists.

Oh, don't worry, Miss Butcher.

It'll give us a chance to catch up on all the gossip, eh.

DRILLING

I'll level with you, Joe.

I ain't been no saint in the past. We both know that.

But that little girl over the road,

she's the most important thing in the world to me.

Why would I want to lose her again?

It's my job to make sure you aren't breaking the terms of your license, Mr Branning.

Yes, I understand that. Of course. Yes. That's right.

But did they find anything when they raided me the last time?

No they did not, Joe. No, they did not.

I'm a reformed character. I've been working over the car front

with my brother for the last two weeks.

I got my priorities right, mate. Yes.

Tell me, you got kids, Joe?

It's "Seph". Jo...seph.

Yes...I have.

Well, then you'll understand where I'm coming from, won't you?

Now, if there's nothing else,

there's a little girl waiting for a special day with her daddy.

Mr Branning...not a lot of people get a second chance.

Don't let her down.

Or me.

I told you, love, suppliers gone bust. Hands are tied.

Oh, don't give me that.

This is my family's livelihood you're towing away. Please, just...

-Just wait till my husband gets here.

-Max Branning?

You probably want to give him a call.

I've got work to do.

Max!

This stops now, yeah -

you and your freak of a fiancee - cos Jean's not on her own anymore.

This again.

Why would we feel the need to steal off of your peasant family?

Who knows why you do anything, Janine.

I'm surprised you ain't booked the synagogue again.

So you're happy about with Eddie clearing up Michael's mess, are you?

-Eddie?

-Yeah, he's lent Alfie the VAT money.

Will he also replace the money you spent when you had your...

What shall we call it?

..little holiday from your happy pills?

This stops today. All right? Or I'll call the law.

No, can we please just sort this between ourselves?

No. If she wants to play the businesswoman

we've got to do this properly.

So, you're going to call the police? On me?

You are joking?

Do I look like I'm joking?

I'm just saying it sounds a bit like a 12-year-old's party.

-Coming from the girl who done her ankle on the swings.

-Shut up.

Look, don't you just want to get hammered and chuck your guts up?

That's what you're meant to do on your birthday.

Nah, day up west'll be good, won't it, Jay? Getting out here for a bit.

Abi?

What?

Are you even listening to us?

I need to go. I should be revising.

Nice one.

Abi? Listen, don't worry about what Lola said.

I'm going to make everything perfect for your birthday.

I need some space.

Yeah, but where am I supposed to get replacement motors?

No, I appreciate that, but that's too short notice.

Give me the phone. I'll tell them what I think of their customer service.

Just what do you think you're playing at, eh?

No I will not change the tone in my voice,

how about you change the tone of yours, eh?

-Hello...? Well done, babe, very clever.

-Oh, don't blame me.

-That's really improved the situation.

-This is typical you, this is.

Why couldn't you tell me we were in trouble, eh?

Why do I always have to wait for some bailiff?

How am I supposed to know the geezer has gone bust?

Because you love it. It's right up your street, this.

Anything dodgy. Bit of secrecy, you're there.

I didn't hear you complaining when we was sneaking around.

At least Greg looked after his family.

So, that's what you want then, is it eh?

Mr sensible? Mr boring? Eh? Eh? Is that what you want? Go on then! Call him up, Tan, go on!

-We're throwing stuff about, are we?

-Am I such a big disappointment?

-Let's just smash the place up.

-Go on!

-That'll help things.

You going to get him sent back inside again?

-Excuse me?

-Everyone knows it's him selling all the dodgy booze round here.

Do you know how hard it is to try and start again?

How there's always people like you ready to point the finger?

Mr Branning's trying to make a fresh start.

What, and you actually believe that?

He's working for his brother. Looking after his daughter.

-Maybe you should give him a break.

-Working for his brother?

If that's the case, why don't you go and ask Max?

See if he's had a chance to get his cover story sorted.

Go easy. Slowly, slowly.

Good girl. Ooh-hoo-hoo! Go on then.

This is not going to work, it's a really stupid idea.

No, this is pint glass Jenga? What do you reckon, sweetheart?

-I think it looks fun.

-Course it's fun.

It's going to be the rage in every pub across London. Go easy.

Go easy.

GLASSES SMASH

Kat!

Go upstairs, make yourselves comfortable.

I told you, Alfie, no-one messes with my family.

Sorry.

What you sorry for?

I dunno. I just...

wanted it to be...

Just a bit rusty, ain't we?

I've got to go and help Poppy out. She's been with Janine all morning.

What you talking about? It's only money, innit?

We've got each other. Don't need anything else.

TANYA GIGGLES

Urgh! You two are so gross.

Is that my revision on the floor?

Oh, Abi...

THEY CORPSE

I feel like a naughty schoolgirl.

CLEARS THROAT

Sorry. Mr Branning? Your daughter said to come in.

Here we go, we'll just have these - careful, they're hot -

then we'll make a move, eh? Wasted enough of the day already.

Thanks for this, Dad. I don't know what I'd have done without you.

You'd think I was a bit old for a bucket

and my dad holding my hair back.

Nonsense, you're my little angel. I'll always look after you.

MOBILE PHONE BEEPS

Thanks.

You all right? You look like you've seen a ghost.

-I've just got to nip out for a bit.

-I thought we were going out together?

We are. We are, darling.

Look, I'll tell you what, why don't you take this, get yourself a bit

of lunch, and I'll meet you outside that chicken place in an hour.

Dad? You do want to spend time together, don't you?

Course I do, sweetheart. Hmm.

Course I do.

I'll meet you in an hour. I promise.

Sorry about that. Just a bit of business.

As I was saying, this isn't an official visit.

Just wanted to check everything's all right with your brother at the car lot.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Yeah, it's going really well.

If a Branning can't sell you nothing, it's not worth having.

Max...

Oh, Joseph, twice in one day, what a treat..

How funny seeing you here, Derek.

I just wanted a quick word with your brother.

Yeah, all sorted now, ain't it? Cushdy.

So if you gents don't mind, I've got a bit of business to do.

-Like I said, straight as a die.

-Yeah, he's doing great. Employee of the month three months in a row.

So, can't say fairer than that, can you?

Can I have a quick word with you, Mr Branning?

Three months now, is it?

You know, I really started to believe you.

Thought you might actually be making a go of it.

For Alice if not for no-one else.

What kind of an idiot does that make me?

No Joe, look, you don't understand...

Oh, I understand perfectly. I'm done trusting you, Derek.

Kat, all I'm saying, sweetheart,

was there was no need to phone the old bill.

We don't actually know what happened, do we?

She's not a thief. Can't you see that?

He's twisting everything, that cousin of yours.

Oh, about time.

-Why's she with you?

-We told you to wait at home, Miss Butcher.

You don't think I'd miss this, do you?

Mrs Moon, we've received a complaint about you and Mrs Slater

using threatening behaviour towards Miss Butcher

and causing criminal damage to her property.

-You are having a laugh?

-It doesn't look like it, does it?

If we can go somewhere a bit more private and discuss this?

Why? I have got nothing to hide. Where is the nutcase anyway?

-Miss Butcher if you could refrain...

-Don't call her that!

-Let's just calm down yeah?

-Or what? Are you going to hit me?

Because I'm sure our little friends in uniform here

might have something to say about that.

Who said anything about hitting you?

Whoa, whoa, Kat! What you doing, darling?!

Whoa, whoa, enough!

We'll take into account all you've told us,

but any more behaviour like that and we'll have to arrest you.

Is that it?!

They'll do their best, I'm sure. You will, won't you?

Mrs Slater, these are very serious allegations of harassment

-that have been raised against you.

-Harassment?!

Hold on a minute. D'you think I wanted to call you lot?

You're my last resort and you're still not going to do anything?

We understand that you're frustrated, Mrs Moon...

Frustrated? You caught me on a good day!

CID will look into both the allegations.

In the meantime, stay away from Miss Butcher and Mr Moon

-and let us do our job.

-Hold on a minute...

If you want, we can take you both down the station and make these cautions official?

It was good to see the police being put to use today, right?

Hmm. Yeah. Come here, come here.

I want you all to myself before we have to start hating each other.

-What?

-That's what they do on the Square, ain't it?

Once you get married?

Oh, baby, how could I possibly hate you any more?

That's it. We're on.

Come on, one of us has to get to the office and tidy up that mess.

Get that... What's that no mark? Billy, get him to do it.

No point having a dog if you bark yourself.

I don't understand why they won't drop it. If Eddie's paid off the debts then...

I just don't get what the problem would be.

-Eddie?

-Mm-hmm.

-He's skint.

-Say pretty please.

-Don't mess me about.

-I need to speak to the gaffer.

-The gaffer's busy.

So you can talk to me or sling your hook.

-I don't think we've been introduced. Derek Branning.

-Kat.

Pleasure. You look like a woman

who knows a bargain when she sees one.

Yeah. I know a con when I see one, as well.

Now, if some booze happens to fall off the back of a lorry,

who am I to criticise how it was packed?

How much?

How much can you take? I've got thirty cases of spirits.

There's a ton in the till with your name on it. I'll take ten.

-Two fifty.

-Ton.

That is daylight robbery.

So if you're going to get robbed,

wouldn't you prefer it was someone that looked like me?

I haven't got time for this.

Tell Alfie it'll be round the back.

-S'matter with you?

-Nothing.

Never saw Lauren smiling like that when she had revision.

Well, that's because Lauren's a doughnut. I'm just nipping out.

All right, see ya.

-Hello, darling.

-Hiya.

Just like the good old days.

What?

You. Me. Sofa. Half of Walford walking in on us.

Except I'm not your scarlet woman.

I'm not saying that, am I?

I'm your wife.

Well, you ain't. Not technically.

But if you want to play dress up, fine.

It's not just about the sex.

I want... I want everything to be back the way it was.

Well, that sort of is how it was.

I'm being serious.

So am I.

Shall we do it then?

Do what?

Get married.

What?

Do you want me to get down on one knee?

Max Branning, will you marry me?

Again.

All done.

Well done. Now you take that.

Now I want you to drive this away from here

as far as possible and dump it.

-What do you mean dump it?

-Dump it. Get rid of it. Comprende?

There's a couple of grands worth of gear back there. Let me take it...

You don't understand. I'm finished with all of this. Clean break.

No ties. Now you get on your way. Go on. Scarper.

Babe, I'm not saying I don't want to, am I.

-No, you're just not saying anything.

-It's just not...

-No, don't.

It just not supposed to be like this is it?

Babes, it's supposed to be me going down on one knee, an' all that.

I was... I was waiting.

Tan, listen to me. Tan. Tan? Listen to me, will ya?

Course I want to marry ya, you soppy mare.

It's me and you, ain't it? All I've ever wanted.

-You're just saying that?

-Course I ain't.

Cos I don't want some sympathy husband...

I love you. I'm not going anywhere.

I'm sorry for acting like a brat today.

You didn't.

You know, I don't want to do all that fancy stuff for my birthday.

I don't care what we do.

As long as I get to spend it with you.

Abs, I ain't good at this.

Words. I just want you to know...

You know what I'm trying to say.

I love you too, stupid.

I couldn't live without you, Abs.

We gotta stop meeting like this, boys. People will talk.

Our special day you said. You promised. Where were you?

I'm sorry, sweetheart, I got held up.

Yeah, it looks like it.

No. Alice! Alice, please. Look... Alice, come back! Alice, please.

-Alice. Alice, stop.

-Mum, Joey, Lucy...

Everyone's right about you.

Why do I always believe you? You're vile.

Rotten. And you're never going to change.

Alice... Alice!

You dried off then?

You are like a bad smell.

This needs to be sorted now. All right? No police. No Michael.

Just you and me.

There's nothing to sort. Jean's lying.

And that is all there is to it.

She's got no need to lie.

She's obsessed with him, Kat.

He's really got you wrapped round his little finger, ain't he?

He's telling the truth.

KAT LAUGHS

Michael doesn't know the meaning of that word.

You've just realised what you're missing out on, haven't you?

If I wanted him I could have him.

-Damaged goods.

-You want to watch your mouth, Janine.

All right for a bit of a, y'know, fumble in the Costa Del Sol,

but not really settling down material, are you?

He's going to take you for everything you've got.

You don't know a thing about me and Michael.

And you're going to be the one left holding the baby. You deluded cow.

Me? Me deluded? Yeah. Yeah, that's a good one, Kat,

cos a little birdy told me Eddie's skint.

Oh, so where has that money come from, I wonder?

You don't think Alfie would lie to you, do you?

You want to wind your neck in, yeah.

I haven't even started with you yet.

You know, when I woke up this morning, I looked out

and I thought to myself, this is going to be a good day, Derek.

Sun's up, your daughter's here

and nothing's going to take the shine off of this.

You have got yourself a new start, son.

What do you want?

And, even when I came in here and had to take your lip,

I thought no, fair do's to the girl.

She's sticking up for herself. I admire that.

I want you to leave.

But life ain't as simple as that, is it?

Hmm? Being a good man. A father.

Going straight.

I'll ring someone, if you think I won't?

Who you going to ring? Your daddy?

We both know he don't give a monkeys, don't we.

The old bill? Nah, but I've already waved them away.

So who you going to ring? Hmm?

Thought as much.

You really don't get me, do you Lucy?

Hmm? What kind of man I am? What I'm capable of?

I haven't done anything.

Oh, yeah, but you have. You're a grass.

And if there's one thing in this world I can't stand, it's a grass.

You really don't know how much you've cost me today, do you?

Look.

But you're going to.

Do you understand me?

I said do you understand me?!

Good.

I'm going to be seeing you around. Hmm?

You can count on it.
