22/06/2012 EastEnders

You all set?

Yeah. Lamb to the slaughter, huh?

Everyone gets nervous. I was a bag of nerves myself.

Not me. Janine.

What time you got?

-You're on in 15.

-Yeah? I'd better do this thing, then.

-Where you going?

I've got to see the blushing bride.

From here up...

..perfect.

Can't you do something?

Just like loosen a seam? It hurts.

Hey? I'm doing your hair and make-up.

So, you happy, then, or not?

Well, I suppose it will do.

That's two hours... Two hours and 20 minutes

-and that's as good as it gets.

-Tanya, you may have forgotten,

being a recently divor... No, I'm sorry.

..recently twice-divorced woman, how special a wedding day is.

Tiffany, will you get off my dress, please?!

One day, you never know, you might get lucky and get married again.

Until then, I would hope

you'll remember how important it is for everything to be just perfect.

-Well, I think you look lovely. Doesn't she, girls?

-Yeah.

Yes, she does. Good. Shall I get on, then? Cos I've got to get dressed

and take Abi to the airport

-for six o'clock.

-Where's she going?

-Costa Rica.

Aw, well jeal. I love Spain.

Actually, I wouldn't mind just a little bit more on the eyes.

KNOCKING ON DOOR

Janine.

What do you want?

Janine. I want to see my bride.

Right. That's not going to happen.

HE KNOCKS AGAIN Janine!

-What is it?

-I wanted to see how beautiful you are, that's all.

You know that it's bad luck.

-I don't believe in luck.

-I feel quite nervous.

-Yeah, me too.

Well, I'm just going to go and put the finishing touches on.

No... No doubts, no?

-What?!

-No... No... No last-minute doubts, no?

No. No, no. Have you?

No. No.

-OK.

-No.

What?

Nothing. Doesn't matter.

-It's fine.

-Come on. We've got 12 minutes, yeah?

OK, go.

Go!

-I love you.

-Love you too.

That is so romantic.

Look at him.

Look at him.

Parading around.

Smug.

Self-satisfied.

SHE TUTS

I don't understand why I'm the only person that sees him for what he is.

-That's cos you're the most cleverest person in the world, Jean.

-Judas.

No, that's what you are. Judas.

You're being best man to a thief and a liar.

-Yeah, well done, Jean, we get the point. Right, I've got to go, Kat.

-No, no, wait a sec.

Kat, listen. I'm best man. I only came back to get my speech.

Well, get it, and then I'll be right out.

-All right.

-Right?

-Hurry up.

He's no idea. He doesn't understand. Men don't understand. A woman does.

-A woman sees right through...

-Jean, listen to me.

He nearly ruined your marriage. Don't think I've forgotten that.

All this has been so much pressure and so much strain,

I really think this is making you ill.

I'm not ill! I'm taking my medication.

-I'll go and get my bag and show you.

-No, I've seen it.

Oh, so you've been snooping on me?

I was worried, that's all. Me and Alfie think

you should start thinking about going back into hospital.

All right? Resting, getting your health back.

I don't need to go to hospital.

What I need... Oh, Kat, how many times?!

I need that man to be locked up and pay for what he's done.

-Yes, I understand that, but if you went away...

-No, no, no, no.

I am not being put in hospital.

I am perfectly well.

I am perfectly in control.

Jean, look at you. Look at you yesterday with that undertaker.

That was him! That was him!

OK.

OK. Fine.

You don't believe me, do you?

-No, you don't believe me.

-I do. I do believe you.

No, you don't.

You're siding with him.

No. No. I just think you need help.

Try it, then.

Go on...

..try it.

Section me and see what happens.

But I'm telling you this.

You will get another visit from Mr Coker,

and this time, it will be for real.

-Right, I've got to go now.

-No, no, just wait!

Please.

I didn't mean it.

I'm sorry. I'm really, really tired. I didn't mean it.

-I'll make a nice cup of tea, yeah?

-That'll really help, won't it?

What I need is a glass of wedding champagne.

I might just go down there and take advantage

of his supposed hospitality.

No, Jean...

It's best if you stay here.

What's the matter?

Oh, am I embarrassing you?

Am I letting down the neighbourhood?

No, just for me. Please.

Look at it all!

All that money!

You know, we've paid for that.

And that.

All of that.

Those.

There.

Drinking our drink.

That's it. That's it, my darling. She needs to go to hospital.

She needs professional help.

-She needs it now.

-What if she's telling the truth? What if she's right?

-She's out with the fairies. I'm sorry, it's true. I've got to go.

-No, wait. Just wait.

-I can't.

We've still got plenty of time. Just give me five minutes.

-Kat, what am I supposed to do?

-Keep an eye on her.

Do not let her leave the Vic. I won't be long.

Five minutes and I'm gone, all right? Hurry up.

You all right, Abs?

-Can I have a quick word? Hi, Jay.

-Morning.

You look very smart.

-Thank you. I do try.

-Good. Excuse us.

-What are you doing?

-Nothing. Just talking.

You have told him, yeah? Told him about Costa Rica?

Not yet. Not exactly.

Abi, we're going in an hour! You need to tell him.

Do you want me to tell him?

No. I'll do it. I'll do it now.

It's going to be fine. You'll see.

Oh, crikey. I need to get changed. Save us a seat.

What was that all about?

Abi?

-She'll like that, mate.

-Yeah.

-All done over there?

Derek. Didn't expect to see you here.

No, I was just looking for a second opinion.

I bought this for my Alice. You're the beauty expert.

-What do you think?

-Yeah, it's very nice. It's very shiny.

Excuse me, I've got to get dressed, put my lippy on.

-I've got to pop over the car lot, all right? Only be a minute.

-OK.

-What?

-Don't think you can pull the wool over my eyes.

What you talking about?

I heard about Lucy.

Her dad owes me money.

Yeah, yeah. I bet he does.

And you thought you'd just swoop in and collect, yeah?

It's a loan, Tan. All got to pay our debts.

Why don't you pick on someone your own size?

What? Like you, you mean?

You're following me now, are you?

I'm going to get changed. You want to come and have a gander? Not sure your brother'd be too keen.

My brother?

I think I know my brother a bit better than you.

Yeah, course you do, Derek. I've only been with him 18 years.

I hardly know him at all.

Did he tell you what he got up to when he was with me? Did he?

Hmm? Before he found out about your illness?

No, I didn't think he did. All the little mischief.

Me and him.

You see, I know everything, Tan.

He confides in me.

Door's at the end of the hall. Shut it on your way out.

You're going to push me too far. You'll see.

Trembling in me boots, Derek.

You do what you want. You're going to have to tell 'em.

Trouble in paradise?

-No. What's it got to do with you anyway?

-Just ignore her.

What time are you leaving, golden girl?

-An hour.

-Well, I'll be there to wave you off.

What about the wedding?

Yeah, I'd rather pull my own fingernails out. See you later.

An hour?!

We've got to get to Heathrow, get through customs.

-I can't leave it any later.

-Have your mum and dad made you do it?

-No, not exactly.

-Have they pressurised you?

They want what's best for me, Jay.

-That's fine. You leave it with me. I'll sort it.

-Jay!

Trust me. I'll sort it, all right?

You just leave it with your future hubby.

-I need a chat with Michael.

-He ain't here.

-So where is he, then?

Can I have a word?

-Not now, Jay, please.

-It's about Abi.

She's going all right. Done. Nothing you can do about it.

Um...

KNOCKING ON DOOR

KNOCKING ON DOOR

-Where's Alfie?

-In the Vic.

-Can I have a word?

-Bit busy.

-It won't take a sec.

I'm going to go and check on the ushers, yeah?

I just want to know the truth.

Haven't we done this?

-I don't care about the money.

-That's very generous of you. Thank you.

Did you take it or not?

No.

How many times now?

Jean's got a weird, weird fixation with me.

You saw what she did with the undertaker geezer.

She cannot differentiate between truth and reality.

So you didn't do it?

No.

Now, if you don't mind...

Because if you didn't do it, Jean's going to need help.

Precisely what I've been telling you.

-Psychiatric help in a hospital.

-Good.

Ship her off. Best for everybody.

-She won't do it on her own. I'll have to section her.

-If that's what she needs.

But if she isn't ill

and I put her inside, she's going to top herself.

-You don't know that.

-She just told me.

She's threatening to kill herself.

So I just want to know the truth, Michael. Please.

If I ever meant anything to you...

..just tell me.

I never took the money.

Swear...

Swear on that baby,

your baby.

Yes.

OK.

Maybe it's best for her.

It's best, innit?

-Best all round.

-Maybe...

-Look, I'm sorry.

Maybe you shouldn't be...so hasty.

Maybe you should just wait, let her settle down a bit.

She's not going to settle down.

I just think...

No, it's fine, all right?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Kat!

No, you'll be late for your wedding.

I did it.

What?

I did it.

I took the money.

Here you go, Jean. There's a cup of tea for you, darling.

TOMMY SCREECHES

I thought you had to go.

No, no, no, there's no rush. Well, actually, there is.

Go. You don't want to disappoint your friend, do you?

No, no, I'm all right. Do you want me to stick the telly on for you?

Kat told you to keep an eye on me?

Don't be silly. When do I ever take orders from Kat, eh?

What does she think I'm going to do? Go down there and make a scene?

Will you do me a favour?

Just for once, stay out of trouble.

Disappointing, Alfie. Very, very disappointing.

Whatever. Come on, Tommy, let's go.

Come on Shenice, let's go, sweetheart.

Come on, there's a good boy.

Listen, Kat will be back in a sec, all right?

So...just stay there, don't move, yeah? Come on, sweetheart.

Come on, we're late.

Come on.

Alice, Alice, it's your dad. Look, the wedding's about to start.

Give me a call, yeah?

Oi, Anthony.

You seen my Alice today?

Get off.

What's the matter?

-Everything all right?

-I don't know. You tell me.

-What?

What did you do when you were away with Derek?

Babe, what are you talking about?

-You don't want to talk about it, fine.

-I ain't saying I don't want...

Derek's dobbed you in.

Why? What's he said?

What do you think he said?

-Babe, honestly. Trust me, I don't know what you're talking about.

-What did you do, Max?

Abs, you all right?

Um, he's not here yet.

-What?

-He'll be here in a sec.

What am I meant to do? Just wait?

It's all right, it's all right. Good boy.

I'm not him. I'm not my dad.

And I don't want a woman's blood on my hands.

But you don't mind sending her mad?

Yesterday I found her in my house, going through my things.

She ripped my mother's St Christopher from my neck and flushed it down the toilet!

So you pretend her daughter's dead?

She's out of control.

-Yes, because you stole. You stole and you lied.

-No, it was a loan.

It was a loan. I had every intention of paying it back

until she started trapping off.

She forced my hand.

Why did you take the money anyway?

Why did you take the money when you're marrying a millionaire?

Because she's the millionaire. Don't you get it? I've got nothing.

Do you know what that's like?

Having to go and ask for money like a boy?

I couldn't even chip in at my own wedding.

So you take our money and use that, yeah? And for what?

To impress your new wife?

She's not my wife yet.

Do you even love her?

She's all right.

All right?

She's good in the sack.

Not as good as you, mind.

Urgh!

You're a monster.

It'd be easy, wouldn't it, if I was?

I'm just making my way, Kat. Just like everybody else.

She loves you. She's carrying your child.

Yeah.

Don't you care?

Don't know. I don't know.

I don't know what caring is.

She has your baby inside her.

Yeah, like you did.

And look how much I care about him.

I daresay this one will be the same.

It's not an ideal scenario, granted,

but that's my father's legacy, you see.

That's his little gift to me. Thank you, Daddy.

You see, I don't care about you,

Jean, Tommy, any of it.

And Janine, I've grown fond of her, yeah,

but that's something I can work on.

I let my guard slip, it crept up on me.

But it won't last. It won't last.

You'll see.

Cos all I need is just a big old bag of cash, keep me warm at night.

She's got a prenup. You won't get any of that money.

You'll spend the rest of your life living on hand-outs.

You never know, she might have a change of heart...

..decides she doesn't need it after all.

Because you never know what someone will do

if they love someone enough.

What if I tell her?

What if I go right out there now and tell her?

Go on, then. She won't believe you.

-What about the police? They'll believe me.

-What about?

The lunatic ramblings of a mad woman?

If you could see yourself...

You think you're so smug and clever, but you ain't got a clue.

About what?

All of it. Marriage, Janine. That baby.

And when that baby's born, it's going to change everything.

I don't think so.

Oh, believe me, it will. And I will be there to see your face

when you realise it's not as simple as you think it is.

When you realise that you love that baby more than you love yourself.

Nah, that's never going to happen.

It's not a choice, Michael. It's the way it is.

Remind me when Tommy's birthday is again?

I should really send him a card, you know.

Tommy never had a chance, did he? I saw to that.

I lied to you. I took it away from you.

And I regret it.

I regret that every time you look at him, you don't give a damn.

I did that to my child.

I thought I loved you once.

It wasn't just sex.

I fell for you.

And you fell for me. I know you did.

What a lucky escape I had.

Ouch.

Can I get married now, please?

Yeah, go ahead.

And let's see how Janine feels when I fill her in on your little plans.

What's going on? You're late, Michael.

I told you to stay with Jean.

Jean's fine, OK. But Janine's waiting, we've really got to go.

-You're not going to be best man.

-Let's not start this now, all right?

He did it, yeah? He just told me.

He admitted he took our money, right? He fleeced Jean.

Yeah, yeah, I did it. Guilty as charged. Can we...can we go now?

We really ain't got time for this. Come on.

Go look after Jean, and we'll talk about it later, OK?

Don't be so weak. Look at him. Look at him, right?

That's the man that slept with your wife behind your back.

That got her pregnant, yeah? While you was banged up.

He didn't blink an eye. He did that.

And he's supposed to be family. Your family.

Or do you want to pretend he's a great guy

and it never happened, yeah?

Just walk beside him up the aisle? Lovely Alfie. Cuddly Alfie.

Friendly Alfie. Everyone's friend. Is that what you want?

You're as pathetic as him.

It's just this pain, right round here.

-It's the dress.

-It's too tight. That's what I said.

Why does nobody care?

-You all right?

-I can't breathe.

Ricky, keep her away from me.

Jean, not now.

Do not touch my dress!

You are making a terrible mistake. He took my money.

He's lied to everyone and he'll do the same to you.

-Jean, just get away from me.

-That baby.

That baby won't be loved.

-It won't be loved.

-Jean, what you doing?

Excuse me.

She knows. I know.

Everyone knows what you've done.

D'you know what? You might just deserve him.

Good luck.

You're going to need it.

Alfie?

Come on.

-See you in there, yeah?

-Yeah.

Just stop fussing.

I'm ready.

-Yeah?

-Would you all like to stand, please?

# At last

# My love has come along

# My lonely days are over

# And life is like a song... #

Welcome, everyone.

We're gathered here on this beautiful summer's day

to celebrate the wedding of Michael and Janine.

I believe you. And you're not going to hospital.

I'm not?

No. He's a liar.

And he stole from you.

He admitted it.

Alfie? Does he believe me?

TUBE TRAIN RATTLES NEARBY

Thy husband is thy lord, thy life,

thy keeper, thy head,

thy sovereign, one that cares for thee.

You all right?

-Yeah.

-And for thy maintenance commits his body

to painful labour, both by sea and land.

To watch the night in storms, the day in cold,

whilst thou...er, liest warm at home, secure and safe.

What are you doing?

-Michael?

-I need a word.

And craves no other tribute at thy hands but love,

-fair looks and true

-obidience.

What's the matter? You all right?

What is this about? What's wrong?

You got any doubts? You still want to do this?

What are you talking about?

-All that stuff with Jean and Kat.

-She's mad. The woman's a nutter.

-Please, come on, let's go back...

-There's not a little part of you that's wondering?

Why are you doing this?

Because when I asked you this morning if you were all right, you hesitated.

No. No, I didn't.

Yes, you did. I want this to be perfect, Janine, OK? Flawless.

You, me and the baby.

-It will be.

-And that's why I have to be really honest with you. Full disclosure.

About what?

Jean. The money. I took it. I took all of it.

I thought you should know.

Why are you telling me this now?

Because I don't want to lie to you. And because of this.

This contract.

You've got to admit, this prenup...

This says that you don't trust me.

I thought I was OK with it. I thought I was OK with it.

I didn't want you to worry.

I wanted you to believe in me and know that I loved that you

and that it wasn't about the money.

But then I just got thinking, you know?

Every day, you giving me orders, signing cheques,

deciding the wedding, deciding the nursery,

and me like some kind of servant.

It wasn't like that, Michael. I never treated you like that.

Come on, you had a little dig now and then, didn't you?

You like being in charge, Janine.

But I didn't want that, you see. I didn't want that.

I wanted us to be equal. I wanted us...

I wanted to be a proper husband. I wanted...

I wanted to pay my way. And you see what it's done?

You see what it's made me do?

It's made me con some mad old woman out of her money and lie to you.

This marriage, it's cursed as I see it, because you don't trust me.

No, no, no, no, Michael, you're wrong, OK? I do. I do.

Then why do you even need one?

I'll tell you why, so you can keep me under your thumb.

I step out of line, you divorce me, I get nothing.

That's how it is, isn't it?

-No, no, no, no.

-Yeah, it is. You're married to your money, Janine.

-That's fine, but you're just married to your money, not me.

-Michael, that is not right. I love you.

I love you like I have never loved anybody.

Yeah? After what I told you? Being a liar? Being a cheater?

Yes.

I would have done the same.

I've done worse.

You've done worse? What have you done that's worse?

-I've done much, much worse.

-Come on, tell me, tell me.

-What have you done that's worse? Tell me.

-I can't.

Tell me. I've been honest with you.

Return the favour.

My first husband....

-Yes.

-..Barry, um...

-What?

I married him because of his money. That's all.

It was the same with the second, you know.

I've always been chasing the money,

and now that I've got it, it's all gone wrong.

Yeah.

Well, I am sorry.

I just thought you should know.

What are you doing? Where are you going?

That's it, isn't it? I conned Jean, I lied to you.

We can't get married now.

Michael, we've got a marquee full of guests.

Wait, wait, wait. Look, it's all right, I forgive you. I understand.

I pushed you too hard.

I've been insecure, and this baby, it's been messing with my head.

I haven't trusted anyone, Michael. Not since my dad.

I used to stand here waiting for him to come home...

..and he never came, and I haven't trusted a man since.

But I love you.

-I love you.

-After everything I told you?

-Yes!

Yeah, I love you and I want to marry you.

And what about this? You really want this

hanging over our heads, our whole marriage, Janine?

It's just a piece of paper.

No, Janine, it says you don't trust me, Janine.

It says you don't love me.

-Please, don't be stupid.

-That's what it says about...

No, you're being ridiculous.

Please, let's just go inside and we'll get married, OK?

No.

Why are you doing this to me?

Rip it up.

Go on, just rip it up. Prove to me.

Prove to me how much you love me. Prove to me how much you trust me.

I can't. Michael, we discussed this, we talked about it, we got advice.

-Your legal advice.

-We got legal advice.

Your legal advice, yeah.

Can we just sort it out after?

No. Call the lawyer and cancel it

or there's no wedding.

I'm going to walk.

You can't push me into this.

I'm not pushing you into anything.

It's whatever you want.

It's your choice.

SHE SIGHS

I...

Fine. Fine. Have a nice life.

I'm sorry if I've hurt you.

Michael. Michael. Michael. Michael.

Wait.

OK,

I'll do it.

Don't do it for me. Do it for us.

OK.

Are you sure? Only if you want. This is a big decision.

Only if you want to, OK?

There. Are you happy?

You love me that much?

Yes.

Come here.

Shall we get married?

Yeah.

Are you happy to proceed?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Yes.

Ladies and gentleman, if you'd like to stand.

We're here to witness the joining in matrimony of Michael Moon

and Janine Butcher.

This requires both bride and groom to declare their freedom

to marry each other before making the contract of marriage

when they take each other as partners for life.

Are you pleased with yourself. Are you? Are you satisfied? Do you think you're clever?

-Sorry. Do I know you?

-Get up. Stand up.

-No, I don't think so.

-I said get up.

-What you doing?

-You stay out of this, you.

-No, she's my mate.

-You should choose your friends better, then, shouldn't you? Come on.

-No, get your hands off me!

Don't be nasty, little girl. I've been all Mr Charm up until now. Do not make me nasty.

-That's it, I'm going to get my dad.

-Good, get who you want.

-And bring your mother. I'll sort her out at the same time.

-Dad, what are you doing?

-You apologise.

-I didn't do anything!

You didn't tell her mother that she was here, eh? You didn't grass her up?

-Sorry, was that a secret?

-Do you want a slap?

-I don't want her to apologise.

-No, she's got to apologise. She's got to learn some respect.

-Now do it. Do it!

-I'm sorry.

-I can't hear you.

I'm sorry, all right.

-That's more like it!

-Please just let her go, Derek.

-You stay out of this!

-Let go of her.

Who the hell are you?

Your son!

Please repeat after me.

I, Michael, take you, Janine, to be my wedded wife.

I, Michael, take you, Janine, to be my wedded wife.

Please repeat after me.

I, Janine, take you, Michael, to be my wedded husband.

I, Janine, take you, Michael, to be my wedded husband.

Can we have the rings, please?

Thanks.

I give you this ring as a symbol of all that we've promised

and all that we now share.

I give you this ring as a symbol of all that we have promised

and all that we now share.

Michael and Janine, you have both made the declarations required by law

and you have made a solemn and binding contract in the presence of your witnesses today.

It is my great privilege to declare that you are now husband and wife.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Know what today is, don't you?

-My wedding day. And the happiest day of my life.

23 years ago, Dad and Pat stood out there.

He lifted her off the carriage, and she had the biggest smile in the world on her face.

-Just like what you got now.

-I love you.

We need sign the register now.

-Jack, will you just sort this lot out now, mate?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Cheers.

-Right let's go.

-You've hurt him.

-Mum wants you home. Now.

-That's a nice way to say hello after all these years.

-Last time I saw you...

-I was seven. Yeah, I remember.

No, no, hold on, Joe, Joe come on please, let's talk.

Talk? Does it look like I want to talk with you?

Yeah, but hold on, hold on. We've got things to discuss.

And Alice has got a wedding to go to, haven't you, darlin'?

Look, and I got her this.

She don't want your bribes. She don't want nothing from ya.

I'm going to talk to him. Just give me a minute.

Joey, listen. You've got this idea about him. About Dad.

He ain't our dad, Alice. He's nothing. Nothing to either of us. All right.

How can you say that? You've haven't even spoken to him.

You haven't even spent one minute with him.

Nah, nah, wrong. I just have.

And that was a minute too long.

Why can't you just give him a chance? He's sweet.

He can be sweet. The other night,

I was sick and he looked after me.

He held my hair back.

He was lovely.

Just talk to him.

And then I'll go.

Joey, please.

You're now officially man and wife. Congratulations.

SONG: "When A Man Loves A Woman"

Cheers, mate.

-Phil!

-Thought I'd pop in, say a quick hello to the bride.

-This is a wedding, not a free lunch!

-Oh, really? Why do you think this lot are doing here, then?

Yeah, considerate of her to have it on our doorstep. Closest thing we got to a takeaway.

Hey, and where was you, eh?

-Lola!

-No!

-Phil.

-You're all right.

Jay.

-Well, what happened?

-I got held up. D'you get my text?

-Well, yeah, but...

-Come with me. I got something to show you.

-It was nothing, all right. It's just... Honestly, it was nothing.

-Well, it was obviously something.

Look, I had a wild time. I done some things. Things I shouldn't have done.

-What sort of things, Max?

-Dodgy things.

-What, illegal?

-Sort of, yeah.

Well, what did you do, Max?

Just stuff, all right. I got myself in trouble.

-Stuff you don't need to know about.

-How can we have a future if you can't stop lying to me?

Babe, I'm not lying to you. I got involved with the wrong people. Someone got hurt. It was my fault.

OK. Now, if you want all the sordid details, I'll tell you.

-I will. I'll tell you right now.

-Right.

You're better off not knowing. I promise.

No, I am, babe, I'm working on it, all right. I'm going to sort it all out.

Sort what out, Max?

I got some debts.

Got some things, you know, things I said I'd do.

Right... Is that why you been acting so weird, is it? About getting married and everything.

Are you worried about money?

No, I, I just wanted it to be different this time.

From the start, you know. No lies.

I did, I wanted it to be perfect.

Right, so you're waiting for the perfect moment, are you? What moment is perfect?

Well, what about now?

Eh? Now?

Right, what just to appease me?

No. Cos I want to.

Tanya. Will you marry me?

Well, don't ask me just cos I've asked you.

What you talking about? I want to.

Babe, will you marry me? Yes or no?

Yeah.

Course I will.

-Congratulations.

-Thank you very much.

CHEERING

Thanks for today, mate. Means a lot.

I know you did it, Michael. I know.

Cos Kat wouldn't lie to me.

And after this wedding, I swear to God I'm going to finish you.

All right, sweetheart?

Care to dance, Mrs Moon?

I can waddle.

What?

You know I love you, don't you?

You know I really love you?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Michael!

I think... I think my waters have just broken.

No, they can't have. You're only gone six months.

What's wrong?

Will someone call an ambulance! Will someone call an ambulance now, please!

Janine!

-You're stealing one of my dad's cars?

-No, we're borrowing it to make our getaway. It's romantic, innit?

Jay, I'm leaving in less than an hour.

-I'm going to Costa Rica.

-No, you're not. That's what they want you to do. You're coming with me.

All we've gotta do is drive up the M1. Find a place to stay, some jobs and that.

We could be married tomorrow. On your birthday.

No. No, I can't.

-Why are you doing what they tell you to do? You're 16. You're an adult.

-I'm not 16 yet

and, no, I'm not an adult. I don't feel like an adult at all.

-I love you.

-And I love you, but I'm not coming away.

I'm going on this trip.

I'm going to Costa Rica and not because they're forcing me to,

-but...but because

-I

-want to.

What?

This is my dream, Jay. I want to do this.

I want to do interesting things, I want to go to university,

do something amazing with my life.

And I don't see why I should feel guilty about it.

-What about me?

-I'll be back in two months.

If you go, then that's it for me.

I'm stuck here with Phil and Ben and all of this.

And I just can't handle that. I just can't do it.

You are the most beautiful, decent thing that I've got in my life.

And I need you here.

-And I'll come back to you.

-No.

No, you won't. If you go, then that's it.

The engagement's off. Do you understand?

I'll be finished with you.

-Don't say that.

-Decide. Decide right now.

Jay!

Decide, Abi.

I'm going.

-All right, well, that's fine. Your decision's made, innit.

-Jay!

Jay, come on don't do this.

Jay...

Come on, darling, it's time to go.

Look, Joe, please just - just give me a chance, yeah?

To what? Twist my mind like you have hers?

No, no... to put my side of things.

I mean, what do you know about me? Apart from what your mother's told you all these years.

-I remember stuff.

-What?

What could you possibly remember?

Last time I saw you, you was seven years old.

You...bent over Mum, beating the hell out of her.

-What?

-Don't deny it, Derek. I can see it now.

Peering through the door into the kitchen.

You and Mum going at it.

-Then you whacking her in the stomach.

-No, no, no, no, no.

No, I've done some bad things, I'll admit it.

But I would never, never a hit a woman.

No, no, no, course you wouldn't. Cos you're just a big softie, ain't you?

A big cuddly teddy bear.

No. No, I'm not, Joe.

But I am your father.

And I deserve respect. And a chance to put the record straight.

Well, Daddy, let me make this very, very clear for you, then.

I ain't interested. I never will be.

You might fool Alice, but you don't fool me.

You don't know what it's like for a father to see his son after all these years.

Otherwise you wouldn't be like this.

No. No, you're wrong.

You feel bad?

I don't care.

Now, are we finished here? Cos I gotta get Alice home - where she belongs.

She belongs here. With her dad.

-With her old man.

-Yeah? Well, you won't be seeing her again.

You ain't going to take my daughter away from me, Joey.

Watch me.

You know who you sound like now?

Hm?

Me.

I ain't nothing like you.

You'll see, Joe, you'll see.

A father-son bond ain't that easy to break.

It's not just something you can throw away.

You'll see.

Are you going to eat the spoon. No?

Yum! Look at you.

Little messy pup, ain't you? Eh? Come on, you. Ooh, you're gorgeous.

Come on.

SIRENS WAIL

-Michael!

-They're here, they're here.

-Just here.

-I think she's gone into labour, mate.

-Hello, what's your name?

-Janine.

OK, just relax. How pregnant are you?

Nearly seven months.

OK, don't worry, we'll get you sorted out, all right? Just relax, take some nice deep breaths for me.

Where's Alice?

Oh, she's in the shop getting some glue.

She wants to fix her necklace.

Oh, right. Thanks for looking after her today, yeah.

Mm-hm. Are you really my cousin?

-Who are you?

-Er, yeah, sorry, I'm Lauren. My dad is your dad's brother.

Oh, right. I never met another Branning before.

Never fancied it, to tell you the truth.

Yes, well, we're not all like him.

Yeah, I can see that.

Hello?

Listen, I could, always, um, fix your hand if you like.

Nah, nah, you're all right. Thanks, though.

Listen, I've gotta go. But will I see you again?

Maybe.

He is so fit.

Yeah, he seemed really nice. Right, see you later.

It's Janine.

Eh? Here, Nan, take Tommy.

-Got him, yeah?

-Yeah.

Come on, babe.

-What's happened?

-You did this. You!

-Don't listen, Jean. It's nothing to do with you.

-Kat, I'm going to the hospital. She's gone into labour. I'll see if there's anything I can do.

-Why?

All right. Oi, look at me, look at me, look at me.

I know what he did, OK?

I know.

-But he's still my cousin.

-All right.

-OK.

Ricky, Diane, come with me.

AMBULANCE ENGINE STARTS

I'm not due for three months. Can't you stop it? Can't you delay it?

I'm sorry. You've had a placental abruption. We can't take any risks.

We have to do an immediate caesarean.

-What about my baby? Is she going to be OK?

-The sooner we get her out, the better.

Doctor, she'll... the...premature babies...

They live? They survive? She'll live?

We'll do the best we can.

Do you remember when you were little,

you used to sneak in our bed and lecture me about turtles and rainforests.

Well, you're going now, ain't you? You're 16, all on your own.

I am really proud of you.

I love you, Dad.

-See ya.

-< Bye, Abi!

Have an amazing time.

Have a good 16th, yeah?

Let's go, Mum.

Michael.

Michael, I'm scared.

Mr Moon, can you stand back?

Mr Moon!

-Mr Moon, please stand back.

-What?

-Stand back, please.

Stand back.

Yeah.

Excuse me, what's happening now? Is she all right?

-Is everything... They've just taken her over there.

-Sit down, Mr Moon.

Is everything OK?

-We're doing everything we can.

-Yeah, but is everything OK with her?

-She's in good hands.

-Yes, what does that mean? Just tell me, please.

There's no heartbeat.

Right, OK.

Is she OK?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

-Why isn't she crying?

She's fine, she's fine.

Why won't they let me see her?

Where is she? Why have you taken her away? Where have they taken her? Why won't they let me see her?

Michael, where is she?

-Hello, can I see her?

-You can't. Not yet.

-Please, I just... I want to see her.

-Mrs Moon,

she's 11 weeks premature.

CRYING

I just want to hold my baby.

Let me see her.

Michael?

What have I done?
