MONITORS BEEPING

Oi! Watch the paint work!

Ooh! Nice new motor, eh?

Yeah, arrived yesterday.

Need a nice family car for when Scarlett gets back.

Tell her to get better soon, she can give Uncle Anthony a lift.

Never get his own car with his football skills!

Michael? Michael, any chance you can ask Janine to do the payroll today?

She's at the hospital, why can't you do it?

I would but...Lola's been arrested.

Again?

You gotta exercise some tough love on this one, Bill.

Leave her to it, let her sort it out.

Don't work like that! Like it or not, that is the way it is.

Oof!

Perfect.

We ain't got a lot a stock in.

Suck your paunch in and stick your pecs out.

Oh, you think I might get lucky?

Where you off then? Got a hot date?

A wake. A drinking partner of mine,

we went to school together in Trinidad.

Well, he passed away last week.

Just want to pay my respects.

And take advantage of the free booze?

It's what he would have wanted, eh?

This mate of yours, did he have a lot of threads?

Cora, I didn't ask when I sent my respects, you know.

I might tag along an' all, pay my respects.

No, no, no, no, no, no, I don't think that'd be a good idea.

I don't think the widow will appreciate a stranger turning up

-just to get the shirt off her husband's back.

-What'd he die of?

-Prostate cancer, I think.

-Then she'll want to give something back,

and I ain't exactly a stranger...

I'm your guest.

You're leaving me out of all the fun again?

It's a WAKE!

Well, if you're going I'm coming too.

Bang goes my lucky day.

Managed to turn up on time today then?

I thought you might need a break.

Someone didn't sleep very well. She kept pulling her feeding tube out.

I think she's going to be trouble.

She takes after her mother.

Why don't you go and have something to eat and drink? Bit of a rest?

Before you go, sign these cos the staff haven't been paid.

So? Have they got babies in hospital?

I can take care of it, I just need you to make me signatory to the business accounts.

Oh, so that's why you're here!

Money!

No, I'm trying to keep your business going.

-This hardly scratches the surface.

-How would you know that?

Have you been going through my statements?

I'm trying to take the pressure off you.

If you want to take the pressure off then you should spend a night here or speak to a doctor for a change.

-All you have to do is ask.

-Fine.

The nurse is holding a class this afternoon. Be nice if you could come.

OK, I'd love to.

I did have a meeting, but I can cancel that. Whatever it takes.

Lads! Whoa, whoa, what you doing?! Step away from the pies!

-What?

-What's the matter with you two?

You're supposed to be on a training regime, I booked a session at the gym later.

We'd love to, but we've got a business to run.

We've gotta check out this wake later.

If the team does well, it'll be great for business.

Think of the headline,

"Tyler Moon scores the winning goal for the Queen Vic.

"Vintage performance from the antiques man!" Genius!

Does the Gazette even cover our league, Alfie?

If Billy Mitchell can get his face plastered all over the place, I'm sure we can!

-But we're in the Walford Pub League, Billy's in the Olympics!

-Oh, shut up! Worth a punt, innit?

Has someone died?

No-one we know.

If you're too busy to spend time with your mother,

I've gotta find something to do, haven't I?

Here we go again.

-I thought you'd be in court?

-Thanks for your concern.

After you ran off I spent the whole night

thinking I was going to drop the baby in the stinking old cell!

Funnily enough, the pain stopped when they said

they'd let us off with a warning.

You think this is funny?

You've already got the tag! If they hadn't given you one last chance

you could've be giving birth in Holloway nick!

We were having a laugh until that greaseball started winding us up.

-Lo, we shouldn't have even gone out at all! Won't happen again.

-Too right, it won't!

You're a bit big for a bear, ain't ya?

It's for you, I thought you could give it to Carly for the baby.

She's not answering the phone.

That's where the bear comes in.

It's a bit big and scary, ain't it, for a newborn?

Yeah. It'll remind them of you(!)

Airway, breathing, circulation.

So first we check to see if the child's airway is clear.

-Do you want to do it?

-No, you do it.

You're here more, you should do it.

If she collapses at home you need to know what to do.

So you gently tilt the head back

and you look in the mouth for any obvious obstruction.

She's talking about collapsing. What for?

If she was going to collapse why would they send her home? She's not going to COLLAPSE!

Listen for breathing,

if there's no response that's when you start your CPR.

They don't know EVERYTHING.

You seal your mouth over the baby's mouth and nose,

and you give short, sharp breaths.

You do this up to five times before you start your chest compressions.

Do it now.

What about Tommy?

James, James.

Whatever.

He stopped breathing for absolutely no reason

and he wasn't even born prematurely.

..press firmly down to a third of the depth of...

I keep thinking it'll be OK.

You know, once she gets off the ventilator,

or comes out of intensive care,

it's going to get better, or go back to normal.

-But she is and it's not.

-All right, woman, I know. Just...

I'm starting to think we might never get back to normal...

Yes, we'll be fine...

-Careful cos you don't want to break your baby's...

-Yes!

I'm just going to leave you to it cos I've had enough of this!

-Where are you going?

-I'm off!

Sorry for your loss.

Let us know if there's anything we can do.

Should have known you two'd be here,

pair of vultures picking over a dead man's bones.

We're just helping out with the arrangements.

Suppose you're here out of the goodness of your heart?

I did say I'd be in touch with any suitable clearances, Mrs Cross.

-Since when?

-Since she threatened to make life difficult.

But you can't just turn up out of the blue and take what you want!

I'm simply supporting a grief stricken friend.

Even though he never asked you to.

Stop complaining, you're only here for the free spread

and the lonely old dears.

Hey, hey, I don't want you go upsetting the widow, eh?

She's a fine upstanding woman, you know, Joy.

-Why is she friends with you then?

-She's not exactly.

Used to accuse me of leading her old man astray,

but that was long, long time ago.

-She's probably forgotten all about it by now.

-Patrick Trueman!

Joy...

I am so sorry.

-You will be if you don't get out now!

-Just come to pay my respects.

You never showed any before!

But I am a changed man.

Then why have you turned up in a cheap suit, reeking of rum,

a floozy on each arm?

Who you calling a floozy?

Nothing will ever change you!

Apart from the love of a good woman.

I don't think we've been properly introduced,

I'm Cora Trueman...Patrick's wife.

You ain't serious?

Billy, come on!

Never been more serious, your team needs you, don't it, eh?

You didn't seem bothered when I said I couldn't play.

OK, granted. Granted, I didn't see your true potential,

and the Olympic committee, they saw something we didn't

but I see it now, don't I! That's what I see. I see...

You know what I see? I see the spirit of a true champion!

Yeah, I see a born winner, Billy!

-I have always been a fighter.

-Yeah, you have. I know.

I'm a lot stronger than people give me credit for.

I know. Come on, let's have it, mate! Yeah?

I don't know, gotta think about Lo, ain't I?

And I'm training for the torch relay...

I know we're out of your league but with your experience, mate...

-I suppose I would bring a sense of maturity to the team.

-Exactly.

We're training this afternoon, why don't you come along,

give us a few tips and all that? Be great.

Oh, don't mind me, I'll just be sat here waiting to drop.

-All right, one condition.

-Yeah, go on.

You make me captain.

Oh... I've made Jack captain.

Sorry, but has Jack been chosen to be an Olympian?

Hmm?

Has Jack got the whole country behind him?

Welcome on board, Captain Billy.

-Bill.

-All right, beautiful?

Why would you be married to Cora and not me?

I have no idea at all.

One minute I'm an eligible bachelor,

next minute I'm walking down the aisle

faster than you can say Mrs Trueman the third.

She was about to sling us out!

Well, it would have been better to have been me

because at least we've had a relationship.

One fumbled night doesn't make a relationship, Rose.

Let's face it, you ain't exactly marriage material!

I have been married more times than you have!

Are you seriously going to stand for all this?

It depends on if she asks me properly.

Patrick, darling,

will you do the honour of pretending to be married to me?

One hour, then I can say my goodbyes.

Then be a dear and get me a large G and T.

I just thought I'd pop in, see how you're doing.

They told me you were at some class.

Oh, we were until Michael decided to walk out,

and leave me to bring the baby back to life!

Apparently he had more important things to do.

Can't be easy on him, can it?

Oh, cos it's a barrel of laughs for me, isn't it?

I just, I love being stuck here wondering everyday if my baby's going to survive

while my supposed husband is trying to get into my bank accounts probably!

No, no, I don't think that's true.

I mean, look, in my experience men just walk out

because they can't handle their own feelings.

Scarlett's milk is in the fridge.

She should be asleep for a couple of hours or so...

-Wait...

-Don't panic.

If her oxygen levels dip the alarm will go off and a nurse will come.

You can always try to just tickle her feet,

sometimes it'll help to start her breathing.

-Whatever happens, just call me.

-Right. Are you going now, yeah?

I can do this on my own if I have to...

but I need to know what I'm dealing with.

I'm the captain, we agreed?!

-After sleeping on it last night, I decided to give it to someone else, that's all.

-Who?

-Billy Mitchell? Couldn't hit a barn door if he tried!

-All right.

I know it's not the obvious choice but he'll bring a lot to the team.

-OK, look, maturity and leadership...

-JACK SNORTS

..and, more importantly, publicity for the team.

Gotta be good, ain't it?

He's not even in the team, is he!

No, I'm the captain, that's the way it should stay.

That's not for you to say!

You don't get players talking to Alex Ferguson like this.

Alex Ferguson wouldn't pick Billy Mitchell, would he?!

Billy Mitchell is the captain. Enough said.

You're having a laugh, aint ya?

Turns out her husband was a hoarder, she's got a house full of gear

and she's emigrating to be with her kids next week.

Only we can't get near the widow!

Not much I can do, I had no idea Cora and Mr Trueman were so close.

If you ever want to talk,

I'm only round the corner at the charity shop.

I didn't know you worked there.

My daughter had cancer not so long ago, my first husband died of it.

The worst thing is feeling useless.

It's a great comfort to be able to give something back.

Falling in love again must have been a help too.

Oh, she can be an old dragon at times,

but I do like a woman with a bit of fire in her belly.

And he can be a feckless old rogue

but, if nothing else, he's good for a laugh!

You're lucky to have found each other.

Excuse me.

Which is very strange as they've only been married an hour.

Michael?

Michael!

-Alf.

-Oi, oi, oi! What d'you think you're doing?

I need someone to talk to...

You don't come up here without asking, all right?

Oh.

I thought...with the hospital...

Oh, you think I'm, what, Walford's very own Agony Aunt?

It doesn't happen after you screw people over, all right, Michael?

What did you feel when...

-you thought you'd lost Tommy?

-Has something happened to Scarlett?

No, no...

but they were showing us how to resuscitate her, you know?

I was there with this plastic baby in front of me,

breathing into it and then suddenly I saw her...

Saw her, lying there...

..and I couldn't breathe myself.

And then what happened?

I walked out.

Course you did.

I'm not surprised you walked out.

That's all you ever do, ain't it? Just think about your own feelings.

It's always about your own feelings, ain't it, mate? I mean did...

..did you even shed a tear when you thought that your own son,

Tommy, might've died?

Did you even think about my feelings when you slept with my wife?

And you were quite happy to let Jean be sectioned,

until you admitted the truth!

Mmm?

I'm being punished.

What?

Yeah, Scarlett's suffering because of my sins.

-Do you think?

-Nah, nah, nah, nah. Nah, it's not about that.

Because I know it was wrong.

What I did to Jean, making her think she was all mental and stuff

and when I was doing it I knew it was wrong,

but it was my only way of getting...

It was my best chance, Alfie,

of getting my hands on the cash, so I did it anyway.

And I always do, you see...

You should hate me.

Do you really think that? It's not, it's not about that.

No?

Hit me!

-What?

-Go on!

-Hit ya?

-Yeah.

-Really?

-Yeah, go on. You can have a free one!

You want me to hit ya?

As much as I'd love to help you beat yourself up, Michael,

I'm not going to turn this into the Michael Moon show. D'you understand?

Listen...

You know, you've got a family now, mate.

And this isn't about your feelings any more.

It's about them!

Do you understand that bit?

I'm finding it difficult.

Yeah, I'm not surprised, really.

Being that you're a masochistic, slightly redundant, weirdo.

Sadomasochistic weirdo.

It's a familial trait.

Lucky I got the good genes, though, eh?

Yeah, you certainly did.

-I am sorry though.

-Yeah.

Well it's done now, mate, all right?

You know what? How...?

You've got it all. You have a beautiful baby, a rich wife...

Yeah, yeah, I know. How'd that happen?

Exactly, how'd it happen?

Don't screw it up, Michael.

-It was getting boring!

-I was about to seal the deal!

For what? The clearance or Patrick?

You won't be sealing anything

when the poor widow hears about your scam marriage.

Oh, come on, boys. You're smarter than that, aren't you?

If you go telling tales, she'll think you're all out to shaft her,

nobody'll get the job, hm?

Half.

I get first dibs and we're done.

-I think we have been.

-Yeah.

If you don't like it, take it up with my old man.

-You told the others we was training here, right?

-Yes, Billy.

-You told them the right time?

-Hm-mm.

Where the hell are they then?

Billy's going to do his nut when he finds out you've been gone all day.

What do you care? Thought I was too much hassle?

It ain't like that, I'm just trying to do the right thing, that's all.

Erm, where's Billy? I need to talk to him.

Cos I don't know why the office's shut up

or where the hell Michael is!

Do I look like a secretary?

I thought you were supposed to be at the hospital anyway.

And what would you know about anything?

I mean look at you, sitting there with your cute little bump,

-flirting with your pathetic little boyfriend...

-Oi!

You've got no idea that your life is about to be over.

And your precious little friends,

d'you think they'll be there when you're screaming in pain?

Or if you've got a baby in hospital?

No, because they will just drift back to their lives, all right?

And you will be STUCK on your own.

So don't you DARE tell me where I'm supposed to be, all right?!

-You haven't got a clue.

-That's out of order.

..all over the table!

Fellas, what you doing? You're supposed to be lifting weights, not pints.

-What's going on?

-Well, we decided we're not playing today, Alfie.

Oh, I get it.

Yeah, this is where the players turn against me? Is that right?

Yeah, I think you'll find it's called player power.

Oi, oi! So we training or what?

No, these dozy pillocks got the day wrong,

-they think it's tomorrow, don't they.

-Hm!

Want me to have a word, as captain?

Billy, listen, I've been thinking about it, right,

and I'm not sure the captain's role is quite right for you.

You said I was a born competitor.

Yeah, I know, and I mean it. Think about it, right.

What's the Captain? He's just a work horse, isn't he, eh?

No skills, no flair.

Nah, I'm looking at you, you know what I'm thinking?

Thinking, like, a lone striker, ready to POUNCE!

Like Geoff Hurst, yeah?

Hursty, eh? "They think it's all over..."

-THEY LAUGH

-Yeah, it is now!

What do you think I was doing?

I have no idea! You practically run out of hospital...

and then I come back to find you've bought some new car without even telling me.

I was going to tell you, but it didn't feel right.

That's because you were too busy changing the bank accounts

and now you've got your hands in the safe!

What you talking about?! D'you think I'm stealing petty cash?

What am I supposed to think?

You're supposed to TRUST me! I'm not your dad.

Well then don't ACT like it, Michael.

You know, instead of going out and buying new cars,

-why are you not at the hospital with YOUR daughter?

-Because it's all I can do!

OK?

I hate seeing Scarlett in pain, I hate seeing what it's doing to you

but I don't have any control and I don't like that!

So all I can do is keep things going here!

So you just abandon me?

Leave me to deal with it? In a room full of perfect people!

Oh, those nauseating parents. I had to get out.

Yeah well that's how I felt too...

but I couldn't, because it looks like I am all that Scarlett's got.

That's untrue and unfair.

I love that child more than you can imagine.

I know...oh, I know. It's just...

the car, I think, it took me by surprise.

That's exactly what it was meant to be - a surprise.

I thought after the prenup, you know, we were cool.

-I thought you trusted me.

-(I do...)

..I'm just tired.

I'm being so selfish, of course you are. You're exhausted.

Just...

..why don't you have a night off...

and just let me look after Scarlett tonight and...?

Huh?

Come on. I know, I know I'm inept.

I know I am...but I'm trying...

..and I'm not going anywhere, OK?

-I don't know why you're taking any notice of Janine for.

-Well, she's right, ain't she?

You've decided you don't want anything more to do with us.

Yeah, and you know why. Because of Abi.

Whatever's happening between me and her, it's Abi and I miss her.

What about me? I'm giving birth in eleven days,

you going to leave me to do that on my own an' all?

You ain't on your own! You've got Billy...

-..and you've got me.

-You just said I'm too much hassle.

You are eight and a half months pregnant, you got a tag,

you're going round getting arrested but I'm still your mate.

What, a screaming, puking kid ain't going to put you off?

-Have you seen yourself on Saturday nights?

-What am I, some sort of mug?

-I told you to stay indoors!

-We're only talking here.

She is on a warning with the police and social services.

-Yet here she is knocking about with you again.

-It ain't Jay's fault!

Well, how comes he's always about whenever you're in trouble, eh?

You home and you stay away, all right? I've had enough of this.

-You're staying in until this baby comes out! Come on.

-Pops!

Don't tell me, he tried to make a run for it?

So, d'you want me to cut off one of his ears?

Carly don't want it.

She said it's a bit late for me to start playing grandmother.

She probably don't mean that.

She doesn't want me to contact her again.

Said I haven't been her mum for years.

-Sorry.

-Why?

Not your fault I'm the world's worst parent, is it?

Shirl, you're not.

You might not be Carly's mum...but you're my mum.

I know you miss Hev...

..but you've always got me, Dad, and Jay.

And I reckon Carly will come round in the end too.

She hates my guts...

..she don't want to hear from me again.

Yeah and when's that ever stopped you, eh?

You'll be knitting booties before you know it.

I can see it now...Nana Shirl.

When did you get so grown up, eh?

You call me Nana again and I'm going to cut your legs off.

-Geoff Hurst?

-Oi. Geoff Hurst is in his 70s, yeah,

and he'd still run rings round Billy.

-Did you not get your armband back?

-Now you just gotta tell one of your strikers

you're dropping 'em for a 50-year-old donkey!

-I ain't giving up my place!

-Ray's the frontman, he'll have to

and he'll understand it's for the good of the team.

Didn't see me having a whinge when I was put on the bench for him, did ya?

-Still wouldn't like to be the one to tell him.

-No, you're right.

I'll just have to leave that to my Captain, won't I?

Hush, man, I've been getting your drinks all day,

how much longer do I have to run around after you?

Till death us do part, my sweet.

Well, I better warn you I have certain needs.

Will you stop this please?

-A drawer full of old socks that needs darning.

-Oh, I've had enough!

I wouldn't touch your smelly socks if my life depended on it.

Oh, I might as well not be here!

You're always having these private little jokes between yourselves these days.

Rose, SOME of us can enjoy a gentleman's company

without being desperate to get 'em in the sack.

Hmm. Well, it's perfectly obvious you two have got feelings for each other

and I don't know why you're bothering to deny it!

The woman's talking nonsense.

Can't take a joke, that's her problem!

What's he want?

He must have got the message about Lola.

I'll try and get rid of him.

I came as soon as I got your message, everything all right?

No. No, everything is NOT all right.

I need you to change the combination of the safe.

I swear I never told anyone the number...

-Oh, apart from Michael.

-He's your husband!

I'm not asking for a family tree, Billy, all right?

I'm just asking for you to keep an eye on him.

After all you've been through? Surely you can trust him?

Change the combination!

And this time just try keeping it to yourself.
