Come on, Ian, just one mouthful?

If you're waiting for me to do the aeroplane noises,

that's where I draw the line.

There.

What do you think?

Did you get the thermometer?

Yep, yep, it's in the bathroom.

It's all right, it's better than being in that stinky old hospital.

Listen, by the way, do you know what this is about?

"Don't ever forget you are beautiful, big love, Poppy."

Michael, did you put the doctor's number by the phone?

Yes, yeah. It's in there, it's in the kitchen.

BABY GURGLES

-Here we go.

-It's over there.

Oh, oh, now you really are beautiful, aren't you?

Hey, come on.

It's sick!

Just relax, state he's in, he ain't said a word.

-State? That's the point!

-Just keep it down.

-He's just tired, that's all.

-He has completely lost it.

He's taken a one-way ticket to gaga land

and we bought him the ticket!

-Jay. Look, Jay, just hold on.

-Ben, just let him go.

He can't handle it, which is why I'm relying on you.

Shirl!

Not interrupting some heart to heart, am I?

Do us a favour. Get some food in, will you?

Darn your socks an' all while I'm at it, shall I(?)

What about Ian?

Oh, Ben's got it covered. Ain't that right, Ben?

Tea, please.

Oh, Jean. Come on, turn that frown upside down.

It's officially unpatriotic.

Don't tell me you're the only person in the country who hasn't succumbed?

-It's Olympic fever.

-Exactly!

Oh, yes, I have! I've got it! I mean, I love it!

-I wish I could watch more of it!

-We're smashing it. Team GB all the way, I reckon!

When Jess won her gold, I thought, "Oh, things can't get any better,"

and then that, um, oh...what's his name? The boy that did the, um...

-Rutherford?

-Yes! Gold!

-Don't forget Mo.

-Mo?!

-Farah!

-Yes, gold!

What about our own Queen Vic Pendleton?

She is such an inspiration!

-And we've still got Daley to come on Friday.

-Mm-hm.

It makes me feel proud to be a Londoner.

-They're just doing the whole country proud, that's for sure.

-Yeah.

Oh, you off?

Yes, thanks very much, it was really great.

Dee, got you something.

Kim, I could actually do with a hand here,

I've got a couple of guests checking in at 12...

Is that my new suitcase?

I'm just borrowing it.

Oh, no, no, no, you help yourself.

Although you could probably fit that in your back pocket.

Look, I just don't want to get into the trap of being all domesticated.

I think that's one trap you don't have to worry about.

Oh, Dee, it's going to be so good.

Two of us, not having to listen for keys in the door...

Stop imagining my boyfriend naked.

So he's actually done it, has he? Actually asked you?

No. But he will, now that me and Sash are BFFs.

It's obvious.

SHE LAUGHS

What?

-Nothing.

-You don't think he's going to ask me?

Oh, it's all right. I get it.

I see what all this is about, yeah.

You're jealous!

PHONE RINGS

Yeah, I'm just leaving now. I'll meet you there.

How will I know you'll show up this time?

Some serious grovelling, that's what it's going to take.

SHE GIGGLES

Yeah, that 'an all.

Can you believe the barrel is still playing up?

Is it all right if I pop to the shops?

-Oh, darling...

-What?

I'm not about to hit Prada. Don't worry.

I know, it's just a busy day,

finalising the Community Day and I got to pop to the bank later on...

I've got Nan to help.

Say what, help? Are you using that word ironically, are you?

Swallowed a dictionary, Alfie?

Gobby, do you want to keep it schtum, all right?

Nonsense.

I've finally found myself a good man and you can't bear it.

Ridiculous. Patrick, will you tell my sister I am not jealous?

Patrick, ask my sister why she's trying to ruin my big surprise.

Well...

Well, because I happen to think that the fact that

Ray has not breathed a word about this mysterious new flat,

happens to be, sorry, just a tiny bit odd.

And because I happen to not want my darling, thick-headed sister

to get hurt.

See, she cares about you.

No Patrick, that's what she wants you to believe.

You see, the truth is, this is about her, about the fact that her bed

is so cold she has to apply defrost every morning.

Look, maybe we should take this up later, all right?

Why is that? That's the question she should be asking herself.

-Man, let's leave questions till later...

-No, Patrick, no.

Let her go, let's hear what she's got to say.

You're boring.

Boring?

Yeah. The highlight of your day is washing laundry.

Not being funny, but men don't find that a turn on.

-Anything else?

-Yeah. You're bossy, you're uptight, sour faced, moody.

I mean, look at you, you can't even dress right.

Weren't you supposed to go to the shops?

What are you, his little spy? I'll go when I'm ready.

I'm going to go get in the shower.

Do you want a medal?

Look, make sure he don't move.

I can look after him, Ben!

She's smiling!

What? I haven't seen her smile.

No, no.

False alarm.

Wind or something.

Do you think she needs changing?

I have no idea.

-I'll check, shall I?

-Yeah.

DOORBELL RINGS

Who is it?

It's the three wise men.

Get rid of them.

Why? Come on. They've made an effort.

I don't want any visitors.

They're family, Janine.

Michael, I just don't feel ready. Please.

THEY CHEER

Who's the daddy?

Oh, that'll be me, then.

That's just in case you forgot that.

Well done. Very amusing.

-Where is she then?

-Yeah, Tyler wants a kiss.

-So do you.

-Yeah, I know, but...

Must be a weight off your shoulders. Starting family life now.

-Good on you.

-Yeah, thanks for that, yeah.

She in here, then?

Oh, lads, lads, lads, actually she's having a bit of a nap.

It's all right, we'll be quiet.

I know, but just not today. Not today, yeah?

Give it a couple of weeks, you know, you'll be sick of the sight of her.

Yeah, of course. We'll give you space.

All right, appreciate that. Lovely, cheers.

Thanks for this, it's nice of you.

How about we go out for a drink this week? Wet the baby's head?

Yeah, yeah, I'd love that.

-Shush, be quiet. Let's go.

-Come on, boys.

Look, even I have to admit that is sweet.

Shut that door, Michael, there's a draught.

DOOR SLAMS

Sorry.

You looking forward to the big community cook off?

Yeah, I've got some ideas up my sleeve.

Oh, yeah?

Few people round here might be a bit surprised,

but Beale means business.

You sound spookily like your dad.

Well, let me tell you,

I am going to be throwing down some serious burger flavours, all right?

Yeah, yeah, I reckon you'll walk it, Luce.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, all right.

I got some big stakes riding on this, there's a promotion going

and I've got to find some way of impressing that Nico.

Strategy. That's the key, Fats.

-Did he ask you, Dad?

-Strategy?

-Write a business plan.

-Business plan?

Yeah, you know, something designed to bring money,

ideas for pulling in the punters in, promotions.

You got a brain, ain't you?

You know what, that's a good idea, man. Thanks, Mr Branning.

-No worries.

-Nice. I like your dad, man.

Break over in three, two, one.

You're late.

-All right, sweetheart?

-Name's not sweetheart.

No, what is it, then?

None of your business.

Sorry. Sorry.

TV ON

Where have you been, eh?

I know you can hear me, Ian.

You're really not there, are you?

How do you do that?

Lock yourself away?

Looking so peaceful, like no-one can touch you.

I could do with a bit of that.

God knows I need it.

Come on, Lucy'll come round.

You know what a stubborn little mare she can be.

She just needs a little bit of time.

SHE SIGHS

You know, I used to quite like watching daytime TV.

Maybe that's because I used to watch it with Hev.

Dozy cow couldn't get enough of it.

What is it, Ian?

What have I said?

What's happened?

INDISTINCT CHATTER

You all right, Lucy?

I was just wondering, you and Bobby all right?

Have you told Bobby about your dad?

Dad!

No.

Well, if you ever want to talk, Tan's a really good listener.

I'm a really good listener and I'm her mate.

I'm just saying, if she wants a more adult opinion.

Thanks, but the only opinion I'm interested in is my own.

And then, what if he decides to come over?

What then?

Look, if he's got any sense he'll stay away.

What, so he just turned the TV off?

It was weird, it was like he was trying to tell me something.

What?

I don't know.

What was you talking about before?

Stupid daytime TV. It can't have been that.

Only I did...

What?

I did. I said something about Lucy coming round.

I've got an idea.

Has she done that thing with her head before?

What thing?

Twisting it to the side like that?

Oh, the looking at the source of light thing?

Maybe I should ring the Outreach Nurse.

No, maybe you shouldn't. They didn't tell us to look for that.

Well, they barely said anything, Michael.

One minute she's hooked up to every machine under the sun,

making sure that she's fine, and then the next,

there's only us to keep an eye on her.

All right, calm down, calm down. It's fine.

I know you're worried, but I'm not going to let anything happen to us.

-We're going to be fine, OK?

-Pass my phone.

Oh, hello, this is Janine Butcher, Scarlett Moon's mum.

Yeah, I just wondered, I need to speak to my Outreach Nurse.

DOORBELL RINGS

Tell whoever it is to go away.

Thank you.

Hello.

This could be a terrible time,

but I wondered if I could come in and see Janine for a minute?

Silly idea, sorry. I'll come back later.

No.

No, it's fine. Come in.

JANINE SIGHS

I said don't let anyone in, especially not her.

She's not staying, you need to tell her to leave.

-I need to tell her to leave?

-Yeah, that's right.

You need to tell her to leave.

Where are you going? Michael?

Hello, yes, this is Janine Butcher.

Here, here look at this, Ian, Ian look.

Come on, come here, in memory of Arthur Fowler.

You remember him don't you? Your Uncle Arthur?

I don't, but you know, you used to talk about him quite a bit.

Said he weren't a ground breaker, but one of the good guys.

Just a bench, I suppose, really.

Happy hour milkshakes? That's it?

That's your master plan?

Well, no, that's just a start, man, I've got plenty of ideas.

And do they all involve giving away food for free?

Only I don't recall that being great for business.

All right, look, all right, I'm gonna go back to the drawing board, yeah?

I will, I want you to know how serious I am about this promotion.

-Your friend, with the long dark hair...

-Who, Lauren?

Has she got a boyfriend?

No. No, not that I know of.

You got her number?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, OK, you know, let me run it past her first, all right.

Then if it's good with her, we're good to go.

Business is really not your thing, is it, Arthur?

And you're absolutely sure?

OK, thank you.

SHE GROANS

You are not welcome here.

I won't be long, I just want to say...

Just go.

I've never been able to forgive myself for what

-I said to you on your wedding day.

-I just want you to get out, please!

Although I'll never forget what you did to me and Stacey,

I still shouldn't have stooped to your level.

I don't want to hear it!

Saying that you and Michael would never love your baby...

I don't care!

..was wicked, Janine. It was a wicked thing to say.

Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!

I am very, very sorry.

There, now you know, I'll go.

BABY CRIES

Did a shift here the other day. You would have been proud, Ian.

You know, I got the patter down quite well.

Come on.

Ian? You're back?

Ian? Are you OK, love? What's happened to him?

-Nothing, he's fine.

-Doesn't look like nothing to me.

No, honestly he's fine, all right. He just needs a bit of space.

Stop crowding round him!

What's gonna happen to him? Shouldn't we call someone?

Wherever has he been?

Ian?

Come on, Ian, let's go.

He's just a bit confused, that's all. Come on.

What's wrong with him?

Dot?

What did he say? What did he say?

Dot?

She's not here, she's in Milton Keynes,

with her daughter-in-law, Ian.

That don't mean she don't care though, Ian. She's still around.

BABY CRIES

She just keeps crying.

They do that.

Yeah, but what does it mean?

Well, sometimes it means, "I'm hungry",

sometimes it means, "I'm tired",

sometimes it means just, "Hold me."

"Hold me."

BABY CRIES

She's perfect.

She's too perfect. Too perfect for us.

You and Michael have got to stop playing games with each other.

You've got to talk to each other, you've got to listen to each other

because that little girl needs both of you. Don't let her down.

DOOR CLOSES

'At the tone, please leave...'

Beale? Off his rocker? That's the best news I've heard all day.

-There's some things you don't joke about.

-Wouldn't be laughing if you saw him,

looked like Tom Hanks out of that film.

You know, the one where he talks to that rugby ball.

It's really weird, I couldn't believe it was Ian.

The state he was in, it was surreal.

It's all over that Mandy girl?

Women. They have a lot to answer for.

Hear, hear, Paddy.

Thought my ears were burning.

You know, not everything's about you.

I'm just gonna go and see Ray, yeah.

Oh, sweetheart, you won't find him in there,

he's taken the day off. What, has he not told you?

Anyway, he'll be back soon enough.

Get him out! Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!

-Lucy, calm down.

-Joey!

-Calm down, Lucy.

-Get out! Get out!

-Don't touch him. We're gonna go.

-Come on, Ian, we're gonna go.

-All right, move it. Come on, move.

Come on, mate, you're freaking her out.

HE SOBS

All right, mate, calm down, take it easy.

-Ian. Ian? Look what you've done now.

-I barely said a word.

Ian? Ian, what's wrong?

What's happened to him?

Jay. Over here! Help me.

Please help me get him home. I need you.

Ben, I said what has happened to him and why is he in this state?

Yeah, and I said we're looking after him!

Jay, get the other hand. Get the other one. Come on. Get up, Ian.

Cheers.

Didn't do it for you.

Michael, it's me again.

Sorry.

I shouldn't have snapped.

And I should have said thank you for making it all nice

for when Scarlett got home.

I just feel a bit...

Where are you anyway?

You've been gone ages.

You reckon Michael and Janine are all right?

Yeah. It's just probably a bit scary

after coming home after all that time in hospital.

Ahh, aren't you sensitive sometimes.

You all right, Lauren?

-Hi.

-How did you get on? Get that promotion?

No, my boss didn't really go for the big strategies.

-Ah, well. Bad luck.

-Yeah, yeah.

But, but, but he did say that if I do something that I, you know,

don't particularly believe is right, I would probably get it.

He's a total fascist. You just need to walk away from it.

-Oh, right, Lauren's probably right.

-Thank you, Dad, that's a first.

Yeah, if you want to be a loser for the rest of your life.

Fats, if it don't involve dead bodies or kittens,

there's no harm.

Give me one minute, babes, I'm sorry.

Yo. Yeah, Nico. Yeah, man, I've got that number for you.

What, no bags?

Thought I was going to have to sell Mo on the black market,

amount of time you were gone.

I bumped into a mate and we had some lunch.

Ah, look, there you are! Now come on.

Excuse me.

Dee, Dee, Just ignore her.

-What you doing, Kim?

-That's a good question.

Ray has something to say.

I do?

Don't sound too good, Raymundo.

-I know your big secret.

-What secret?

Look, Dee don't believe me.

So come on, just fess up

so we can wipe that smug look off her face once and for all.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Yes, you do.

What's with all the sneaking around?

The estate agent papers? Come on, just spill. Tell her.

You told me he was in Devon.

I knew there was something wrong and you just lied to my face.

Does Jane know about this?

Jane? Jane has nothing to do with our lives any more.

This is about me and Bobby.

So don't come in here acting all concerned,

trying to make me feel bad.

You know I care about you.

I can help you, you don't have to do this on your own.

I don't have to do this full stop.

He's your dad, Luce.

No. He lost that right when he left me to deal with everything.

I've had to hold everything together,

the house, the businesses, I've coped.

So if he thinks he can come back here looking like that, and what?

I'm supposed to feel sorry for him?

Well, he's wrong, because I don't.

Through there. Go on, through there.

Sit yourself down over there.

Jay, where you going?

Jay, Jay, we need to get help, Jay, we need to get Dad...

Look, that flat, it ain't for you, Kim.

-It's for Deanne.

-Deanne?

-Your ex?

Yeah. Yeah, but look it's not like that, all right.

Look, she was in a tight spot so I agreed to help her out.

So I can get to see Sasha more often.

How could you?

How could I what? Be a responsible father?

Course I forgot, man, that's a crime around here, innit.

You lied.

No, no, Kim. No. I didn't lie, all right.

I just hadn't got round to telling you yet.

Look, I didn't know you were gonna be sneaking about,

searching my stuff, like a headcase.

SHE GIGGLES

I only saw you 15 minutes ago.

Yeah, me an' all.

DOOR OPENS

Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt.

Ray, you and Kim all right?

Not sure if there is a me and Kim right now, to be honest.

Oi, don't say that. You two are great together.

-What's your secret, Kat?

-Eh?

How do you and Alfie make it look so easy?

DOOR OPENS

Didn't you get any of my messages?

Yeah. I was with Anthony and Tyler, doing a stock thing.

What, and you thought that was more important?

SHE EXHALES

-I'm sorry.

-It's OK.

I'm glad you're back.

We are gonna be enough for her, aren't we?

Yeah, yeah, course we are.

TV PLAYS

Safe to sit down?

What is this?

It was meant to be a "I'm gonna miss you" present,

but now it's kind of more ironic, I guess.

Ah.

Here, I'm sorry that you're staying

with your boring, ugly, uptight sister.

No, I didn't call you ugly, Dee, let's be fair.

What's sour-faced then?

You know, you could smile, like more.

I would, it's just I've got this really annoying sister,

it kind of makes it impossible.

Dee, why am I such an idiot?

Oh, Kim, come here.

PATRICK COUGHS

Is it safe to come in?

Yeah.

We're best friends, apparently.

What was you thinking of taking him out?

I just wanted to help him, he's not well, we should call a doctor.

That's a great idea(!)

You just ain't getting this, are you? Come here.

Now take a look at him. Take a good, good look.

He's gone. He don't remember a thing.

But if he starts to get better who knows what might start coming back?

Hey?

So that...

That is the price of our freedom.
