Hot.

SHE LAUGHS

No bailiffs. No bills.

Three businesses ticking over.

-And I am having a day off.

-Good.

So why don't you come back to bed, eh?

It's just me, the girls and several hundred homeless people.

That's better than what I've got to offer, is it?

Have a cold shower.

Today is about me and my mates.

What if they smell?

Lauren, they won't smell. OK? Just hurry up.

-As soon as I've finished my tea.

-Thought you said they were home truths.

I said she thought they were home truths!

-She said everything's always about me!

-Well, if you want my advice...

-I'll go round there. Show her I'm bigger than that.

-By making it all about you(?)

Ain't you got tramps to feed?

Mum! You shouldn't call them tramps.

I don't want a row with you, Lauren. I'm going to go round to your nan's,

and I'm going to clear the air.

-All right, see you later.

-See you.

-Bye.

What do you mean you're ill?

Well, who's going to run the stall?

-MO:

-I ain't finished my breakfast yet!

-It's an out-and-out liberty.

-I know, it's a right liberty!

-You can't just chuck us out, I'm starving!

-Exactly,

right in the middle of my breakfast! It is a liberty.

I want my money back!

I wish you'd stop moving things.

Maybe Yas did it.

-Is that meant to be funny?

-I don't know. Is it funny?

Look, I've got a big delivery coming and the driver said he'd call me

and if I can't find my phone... MOBILE RINGS

SYED SIGHS

Yeah, I'll be five minutes.

No, you listen to me.

Hey, you. Smile!

CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

You are going to walk this competition!

Well, wobble it.

Yes.

-HE LAUGHS

-Yes.

PASSING TRAIN RUMBLES

Packing, parcels or people?

Maybe work your way up to people, yeah?

I'll just get someone to give you your rabies jabs.

Just ditch what you think you know and you'll have a great day.

-I'm Fran.

-I'm Whitney. Thank you.

Oh, I'm Lauren.

Well, lovely to have you.

Now go and get yourselves a brew first.

Wow(!) Where the hell is Lucy?

Erm, she's probably having a lie-in with Joey.

She always does this!

Those gig tickets better be worth it.

MAN SIGHS, CHUCKLES

You're lucky nothing exploded.

Lucky? Right. Yeah, I have no gas,

I've got a broken cooker and a dodgy boiler.

How much luckier can I get(?)

You're probably looking at about... 400 quid.

-OK(!) You think I have 400 quid?

-Well, that's if you want it

to go through the books.

But I'll need it in cash.

By the time I'm finished.

Why is the cafe shut?

Oh, it...it just needs a bit of work.

It's OK. It's going to be fine.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Leave it.

KNOCK ON DOOR

There you go. Hey, if she gives you any trouble, just put her in a coffin

-until she says she's sorry!

-I'm sure we'll get along magnificently.

-This is so cool.

-It'll be nice to have some company who can actually talk back.

SHE LAUGHS Funny.

Thanks...for fixing it.

Oh, it's all right. You'll be calling me Mum next.

And if you do, I will be climbing in the coffin myself.

Miss Dixon, your corpses await.

SHE LAUGHS

See you later!

Is it true that your hair and nails keep growing once you're dead?

-Come on, Mum!

-Not the way most girls your age think about hair and nails.

I'm not like most girls.

I know you're in there! All those things you said...

..we can talk about them.

She's my boss, Cora, I've got to go to work.

I get it, Mum. I understand.

Just let me in, Mum.

It's always the same with you, isn't it? It's always

-two steps forward and three steps back to kick me.

-Oh, here we go!

-You want home truths?

-Every time, it's always about Tanya.

-I'll give you home truths.

-You think I'm stubborn?

-Well, I'm not listening.

You think I'm self-centred? Well, guess what, Mum? I learnt from the best!

'If I knew'

all it would take would be to put her in the back of a hearse, I...

What?

I...haven't seen her so happy.

Good.

What, is that my big thank you, "good"?

Right, I'm going to go and grab a shower.

-Hey, but I thought you had a day off?

-I've got things to do, babe.

Better things than me? I left Patrick doing the breakfasts!

Babe. I'm busy.

I could help you get busy? Hmm?

SHE GROANS

MOBILE RINGS

MOBILE CONTINUES TO RING

Viv?

-I'll give it an hour, tops.

-You sure you can...?

If he can do it, anyone can do it.

I'd show you some tips but I don't want to get me suit dirty.

How do you mean, you put your foot in it?

I just said Scarlett looked a bit different, that's all.

One minute, one minute. Good different or bad different?

-Bruv!

-I know, Fats, I'm a plank, all right?

No, no, no, you are a bookcase! All right, bruv, listen, I swear down,

you better find some way to make it up to Janine, yeah?

-Make that 59 minutes.

-MOBILE BEEPS

-Fats!

-I can manage!

-Yeah, yeah, course you can, Ben(!)

How would you two like to stand on the podium

while the national anthem's playing?

DOOR CLOSES TANYA GROANS

Do you know, that woman is impossible!

And do you know what?

After everything she said, she's the one who should be apologising to me.

Mm. Went well then(?)

I would never, I would never be that horrible to Abs or Lauren.

-I was only trying to help, wasn't I?

-I was trying to tell you earlier...

She doesn't know anything about being a mum, not a proper one.

-Babe...

-No. No, Max. No. This time she can forget it.

SCREAMING FROM SHOWER

SCREAMING FROM SHOWER

What you doing, Kim?! I'm in the shower!

Not now you're not. Who is she?

-I've just come out of a freezing shower...

-Viv.

-Viv?

-Five missed calls. Viv.

-So what, now you're going through my phone?

-The woman had you on speed dial!

-You speak to her?

-No!

She'll probably give me some kind of nastiness on the phone!

-You don't trust me?

-I don't know, should I trust you?

I don't appreciate my woman going through my phone, yeah?

The phone was ringing a lot. I thought it was Sasha or something.

You know what, yeah?

-What?!

-OK, Viv is the manager of the Old Lion.

All right? The team we played couple a weeks back.

So why you give her your number?

She does a couple of events that need catering.

She keeps bugging me about joining her team.

Oh...

Well, I guess it ain't my fault that my man is so irresistible.

Mm?

How about I warm up that shower?

I've got things to do.

Yeah, but it's your day off.

Yeah, and I've got to meet a mate at the gym.

I've got plans as well, you know.

You know, like pedicure. Manicure.

Hair...cure.

Ain't you forgetting something?

Don't ever go through my phone again, yeah?

-Watermelon?

-Melon.

Just give me one second, all right, love? Let me have a look.

How's it going, Syed?

Oh, that's the last of it. So many tourists, nearly sold out.

-Wow. Life in the fast lane, huh?

-Yeah.

I know. Disgusting, isn't it?

The type of people that put their children up for things like this.

-It's so tacky.

-No class. No shame.

I mean, why don't they just sell their children and be done with it?

So how comes Yasmin's entering?

He's gone and done it, hasn't he?

-MOBILE BEEPS

-Oh, I'm so sorry. Did Christian not tell you?

He knows how I feel about this.

-Hello.

-I'm sorry...

Has Christian entered my granddaughter

into this cheap baby show where they pit children up against each other?

Excuse me, hold on a minute, Amy's very excited actually.

You've entered your own daughter? Up against Yasmin,

-are you crazy?

-You're as deluded as Christian!

-Why don't you just send her out to clean chimneys?

Amy likes dressing up. OK?

All kids like dressing up. And I tell you something, for 500 quid, I ain't about to stop her.

How much?!

Look, I know this is your day off and everything

and I'm really grateful you're here but, erm...

I'm not really feeling the gold medal here, guys.

Well, OK. All right, all right.

Hello, lovely lady in the lovely hat.

You, you look like a tuna and sweetcorn girl!

No, I'm not saying you look like tuna or sweetcorn.

But you do have a little...

-Now THERE is a lady that does not look like tuna.

-Woo!

Looking fine this lunchtime. Mm!

-Keep talking.

-Tempted. Yeah?

I think I might be.

So are you a ham salad or cheese salad?

Does this figure says it eats sandwiches?

Right now that figure's saying a lot of things to me!

SHE LAUGHS

Yeah, later.

-Oh strut! Strut!

-Check her strut!

-Don't be bad!

-I think we'll get our lunch elsewhere.

-Yeah.

So what, she still burning a candle for you, bruv?

Oh, mate, she's burning a whole big bonfire.

-I dodged a bullet, you know. Dad like hers.

-Dad like whose?

Er, just, just some ex-girlfriend, really.

She wasn't actually really a girlfriend. She was...

-All right mate?

-All right. Another couple of hours, I reckon.

Er, yeah, cash in hand. It's not a problem.

Sorry. I'm really sorry.

MOBILE RINGS

There's no answer.

I'm going to kill her. We're doing three people's jobs here!

I know, she promised.

It's got nothing to do with you, Max.

Well, she's my wife.

Well, she was my wife.

-Well, you know, she will be my wife again.

-Make up your mind.

So that makes it to do with me.

Do you want to take over here a while?

Hello, darling.

Been having a bit of a clear out.

Er, Mum!

Well, you know, you do what you can, don't you?

Not like I'm selfish, is it?

-Five minutes?

-Yeah.

-I know what you've done.

-You had no right to try and stop me.

MOBILE RINGS

When you were ill, you didn't want to talk to anyone.

You had to do it in your own time.

Oh, dear. She's right, isn't she?

I AM stubborn.

Selfish.

-You have your moments.

-Thanks(!)

-Like I don't?

But this whole thing with Nan...

If she wants to see Patrick, then it's not our business.

And if she doesn't want to see him, then that's not our business either.

And yeah, if she's still mad at us for going through her stuff

and looking at her photos, she'll talk when she's ready, won't she?

-When did you get so wise?

-Rehab.

THEY LAUGH

Oh, Lauren, she said some really horrible things.

Difficult to hear, you know.

Don't we all, though, when we're angry?

Mmm.

Thing is, some of them...

..the difficult thing was that they were true.

I know what it's like, Cora...

-You know nothing.

-..when you lose a kid.

One minute they're there, the next minute they're just gone.

You had a chance to get to know your Bradley.

Right, and does that make it better?

Or does that make it worse?

Yeah, I had 22 years getting to know Bradley.

Is that better than losing him the day he was born?

You got your memories.

Yeah, but I've got regrets as well, haven't I?

You know, loads of times I weren't there for him.

Loads of times I let him down.

HE SIGHS

Me and Stacey...

..I'm not proud of that, am I?

See, you never had the chance to let your little girl down, did you?

You might've been a good mum to her, I don't know.

No-one knows, do they? I just wish for your sake, Cora, you'd had the chance.

Cos it does, it makes you very angry when you lose your kid.

Got a lot of feelings that just...

..rip you apart.

I mean, course you just want to see them again.

You just want to hold them.

You keep thinking about what they'd be up to now...

And course, you think about them on their birthdays.

So I know, Cora, all right, I know exactly how you're feeling.

-I've got stuff to sort out.

-Cora...

-Please.

-The thing you've got to remember...

It don't matter how alone you feel, or ripped apart or angry.

You've got to remember the children still alive.

Cos they're still there.

And they still love you, and they still...

they still need you.

All your life, Max, you've let your children down.

And you dare to come here and tell me that I'm the same as you.

-SHOUTING:

-Come get your smoothies! Olympic smoothies!

-Thank you.

-Loads of cream for you, darling. There you go, sweetheart.

32.40.

-Do I get a thank you?

-Thanks.

-Yeah, exactly, that's what I thought.

-Beautiful smoothie for a beautiful lady.

-All right, take it easy!

-Hello.

-Hello, darling.

-We're still going to be short.

-Oh, will you relax? You'll get there.

Smoothies! Oh, here she is!

Ha-ha, cannot keep that figure away today, can you?

Ah, cheeky! Listen, these smoothies, yeah, they're good for your...

-thing, innit?

-I'm sorry, I'm just trying to work out how

you poured yourself into that lovely little outfit.

-Two punnets of strawberries.

-Love your work, darling. Would you like cream?

-Yes, course I do!

All right, last of the big spenders, huh?

-Listen, I've got some making up to do. Big-time.

-Yeah?

I want something that gives you the petrol for your tank.

-The lead in your pencil.

-The Javelin is the one for you.

-Really?

-It is.

-That is the boom!

-Your brother's been on.

Baby's coming home end of the week, all right?

Hey, hey! You can't leave me here to flog all this by myself, bruv!

Shout out to all the Walford ladies!

-Anyone want to try our Olympic flavours? They're peng!

-Love your work!

Oh yeah, yeah, that'll cheer Alice up, won't it?

-Fallen out, have you?

-No, no. It's just, you know,

she ain't having such a great time at present.

-Man trouble?

-Yeah, well, I think "man" is pushing it.

What have you got that's best to say sorry to someone?

Er, I think it's a bit late for that.

Baby Scarlett's coming home and I said something to Janine she's taken the wrong way.

Wow. Good at offending women, ain't ya?

-Scarlett's coming home? Already?

-Yeah.

And I thought, big new order, sort our whole future...

-You don't have to do this.

-Olympic tourists everywhere, I'll shift it all no problem,

-but customs have gone and impounded it.

-Why?

I don't know why, I'm not a customs officer, am I?

And now I need money to get it all released and I don't have any

because it's all tied up in the stock and...

I have to get it before the Olympics have finished,

or there'll be no point because I won't be able to sell it...

And then I start banging on about some baby competition.

And I explode.

I didn't mean what I said about Yasmin.

She's your daughter as much as mine.

I know.

Guess I'm just a bit...

..sensitive.

Why didn't you just tell me, eh?

Cos I didn't want Mum and Dad finding out.

I can't bear them looking at me like that,

and I messed up again.

Nobody needs to know anything. OK?

-Cos you're going to find a way out of it.

-Am I?

Yes.

And I believe in you.

And we're going to be OK.

Because Yasmin is going to win us £500.

Mm?

260, 280.

Pleasure doing business.

Well done. Good girl.

Ooh, ain't no flies on you, are there?

Hey, my girl knows how to run a business, you know!

You can tell you're your father's daughter all right.

-And you owe me half a breakfast.

-Yeah? And you can whistle for it.

Who are you? I'll be back.

Fats?

Yes?

I want just one last favour.

I just can't wait to get home and have a good bath.

-And then get out and kill Lucy.

-It was fun though, weren't it?

No. No, the fun bit will be going to the actual gig!

I don't suppose either of you know anything about engines?

Don't worry.

It's just that a couple of the hostels are waiting

for the last of the parcels, and the van's broken down

-and we're meant to be out of here in 20 minutes.

-Lauren's got a car.

If you bring it round I'll help you load it.

Right, well, I'll go and get my keys, then, shall I?

-Just got to swing by somewhere first.

-Yeah.

-(I'm so sorry.)

-"Lauren's got a car!"

I said I'm sorry. Lauren!

-I think I put my foot in it.

-So I heard.

-Is he really angry?

-Well...

Absolutely livid...that you think for one minute you might win.

Oh, is that right?

Well, you might as well throw in the towel. Hello? Yeah, come in.

-Not now.

-No, no, no, send her away.

ROXY SIGHS

Oh, well, isn't this cosy(?) Planning tactics, are we?

-No.

-Well, you should be. Meet the winner of the competition.

Sorry, so is that the cheap, tacky, disgusting competition?

-You're not.

-Of course I am. £500, are you crazy?

So, may the best tot win! Hurrah! Yeah!

-Having fun, are we?

-I was just about to ring you.

See, I told you she'd be mucking about with Joey.

-Have a nice day?

-You would not believe...

-No, I will not believe, right?

-And if you think you are coming gigging with us...

-Girls, drop it down a notch, will you?

-This is you all over.

-You want to know how my day went, do you?

Oh, no, we'd love to stay and chat, wouldn't we?

-But we haven't finished work yet.

-That's a change for you, a day's work.

Girls, girls - come on.

-Welcome to my world. Not all of us have parents to sponge off.

-What?!

Lauren, leave it, OK? You're not worth it.

-I've got people to feed.

-Oh! Oh!

-Bye!

-Oh!

Banksy, eat your heart out, man!

HE LAUGHS

SHE RINGS DOORBELL

Kim, guess what?! I saw three dead bodies!

-You might want to just...

-And you know, they're not stiff!

-Sasha...

-They're lying there dead, and you think they're going to move...

-Sasha, would you...

-Oops.

-Hey, you! So, how's life in forensics?

It's a funeral director's.

Ah, right.

-Good day?

-Yeah, good, thanks.

-Yeah? At the gym?

At the gym, yeah.

And you've been there all afternoon?

It don't bother me, you know. I trust you.

But tell me lies

and your daughter's going to be measuring you up for a box.

-Five exactly, thanks.

-Thank you.

Right, there you go.

-Someone's got flowers!

-Oh. Are they for me?

No, they're not for you.

They're for you-hoo!

-For me?

-Yeah,

I wonder who they're from.

Go on, then, read the card out.

"Sorry about what I said. It was thoughtless."

Jean.

What? "I didn't mean it. Can't wait to see you.

-"Love Anthony".

-So sweet.

Erm...

Actually, Alice, the thing is...

Isn't that, like, the sweetest thing ever?

You know, you are terrible, man. The way you was checking out Kim!

THEY LAUGH

I said some things.

I shouldn't have.

Well, I wasn't perfect myself.

Mum, I don't know why you did what you did.

-And you don't have to tell me.

-I know.

But if you ever want to talk about it, then I'm here...

I will listen.

No questions.

I got something for you.

It's not exactly the same,

I couldn't find one the same. I've been looking all afternoon.

-You loved that bracelet, didn't you?

-Thank you.

Did someone special give it to you?

Sorry.

No questions.

It's good, isn't it?

I'm not my father's daughter.

If you cut me open, you'll see Cindy through and through.

You're still hurting, ain't you?

look, I am my mother's daughter. And this is my empire.

Ian Beale no longer exists.

Hey, what you got there, love? Hey, give us some!

Excuse me. Ugh!

Can you move out my way, please? Thank you.

SHE SQUEALS

Excuse me. Do you mind?!
