23/08/2012 EastEnders

I just want to know that you're OK, so...

Just give me a call, yeah? Just...

Just give me a call.

So, she's gone, then?

Surprised she lasted this long, to be honest with you.

I mean, finding out you've been living

with your best mate's murderer all this time.

Give it a rest, will you?

The important thing now is that we all stick together.

We're not sticking together, though, are we, Phil? Huh?

I mean, even Shirley's turned her back on us now, hasn't she?

Do you really think it's going to end there?

How long till you think everyone else out here does exactly the same?

Do you know, I can't even walk down the street

without them all looking at me. Whispering.

They think we knew about it. I can see them looking at me,

thinking, "Well she must have been in on it, mustn't she?"

I keep asking myself the same question.

How? How did none of us know?

Because I was living here with Amy under the same roof.

Just put a sock in it, yeah?

Do you know what? Don't take it out on me, all right?

Because I'm the only one who is still here, OK?

-I lied for you, no questions asked.

-No-one's asked you to stay.

-Excuse me?

-Well, if you're so bothered about

what everybody's thinking, why don't you find somewhere else to live?

-That's lovely, Phil. What happened to sticking together?

-Just go, yeah? Sling your hook.

Fine.

You were right, I couldn't stay there.

Shame it took you so long.

You should have left soon as you found out.

Instead of disrespecting Heather's memory.

I was the one who had to tell Auntie Dot, by the way.

Did it last night.

She's heartbroken.

I loved Hev, too, Andrew!

I loved her.

It's OK, don't mind me.

I'm going to go put my make-up on.

So, what we got planned for today, then, Ian?

Spot of knitting?

You and Lucy seem to be getting on OK.

You make sure you treat her right.

I will.

She's special.

Yeah. Yeah, she is.

So special that you decided to walk out on her

and let her think you were dead for months.

Leaving her all alone so that Derek could scare her witless

by dipping into the till whenever he fancied.

-He did what?

-Yeah.

So, it makes you wonder which of you is the worse father, don't it?

So, don't you worry, old man.

I'll be treating Lucy far better than you ever did.

Mum?

What's all this?

-I am returning to the helm.

-Why?

I don't know, Michael dearest,

maybe because I just can't bear to be apart from you.

That a trifle hasty, do you think?

Anyone would think you didn't want me to come back.

I don't.

I'm just thinking about your welfare, darling.

I think I can cope, darling.

What time's Whitney getting here?

She's not. I'm bringing Scarlett with me.

Why?

-Why not?

-Because she's so small?

-Well, why don't we ask Scarlett and see what she thinks, eh?

-OK.

Hello, princess. Hello.

Is Daddy being a grump?

Yes, he is. Yes, he...

-BABY RETCHES

-Ooh!

Oh! I think Scarlett's made her position abundantly clear,

haven't you, darling?

That's going to leave a mark.

Thanks, babes.

How could you make a decision like that without consulting me?

So, what do you want me to do?

Throw him out on the street?

I've already told Shirley that she can stay here if she wanted to.

I'm sorry about that.

This isn't our fight, Patrick.

So, what?

You want us to turn our backs on him?

Like everybody else?

Have you forgotten what he did?

He watched Heather die and then he lied to Shirley about it.

No, no, no. I haven't forgotten.

But maybe I am prepared to forgive.

And maybe I'm not.

I thought you were better than that.

This isn't about me, is it, Patrick?

It's about what's right and what's wrong.

Look, Jay knows what he did was wrong.

Believe you me, he knows.

And he'll have to carry that burden with him for the rest of his life.

And the courts, he'll be punished.

And on top of all that, we stand in judgement over him, too?

No, no, no, no, man.

I know it's not an easy option.

But this place is my home and Jay stays.

Just don't do anything over the top, eh?

I have run the club before, you know. No Shirley?

No. She's, uh...moved out.

I'll be back for the rest of my stuff later, yeah?

Looks like she's not the only one.

It's going to be like a ghost house here, innit?

And there's me and Denny cooped up in the B&B.

Ain't you got a club to open?

Fine. But you can buy me a drink in the Vic later.

-See ya.

-See ya.

There's a party at Lauren's, lunch time.

-Who has a party at lunch time?

-Lauren.

Right, well, some of us have got to work.

I'm sure your dad wouldn't mind covering your shift.

Would you, Ian?

No. No, course I wouldn't.

There you go. He's itching to get back in the saddle.

Great. It's about time you started pulling your weight around here.

-Seeing as you didn't make it to the chippy.

-And you deserve some fun.

Shirley, give me a call, will you? I just need to...

I just need to talk to you.

Not very nice, is it? People staring.

-Talking.

-Do you want something?

Course, in your case, they're right to stare, ain't they?

One by one they crumble and fall.

Ben, Jay, Shirley.

Leaving you all alone. Ah!

-Have you seen her?

-Maybe.

I said, have you seen Shirley?

How about we go out and get some lunch?

My treat.

Jay?

I'm not hungry.

It was weird. It was like the baby almost puked on cue.

-Have you seen The Exorcist?

-Yeah.

It was like that. It was beautiful. You made it, then?

It'll take more than a bit of baby puke to stop me.

-Billy?

-No, no, child minding ain't in my job description.

Get enough of that at home.

I've only popped in for some change!

Well, it's either the baby or a P45. It's your choice.

Come on.

Now, Michael, I think you and I need to go through the accounts.

OK, well when you put it like that.

ERROR BEEP

ERROR BEEP

-Have you changed the password?

-No.

-Well, it's not working.

-Caps lock.

BABY CRIES

Try now.

She's a bit grizzly.

Yeah, that's cos of her change in routine, no doubt.

Yeah, well, she just needs her feed. The bottle's in the bag.

Now, let's you and I get down to business.

It's a bit quiet in here.

Has been, lately.

Used to be buzzing.

This place was always buzzing. Do you remember that?

Of course, I do.

That's what it needs - it needs the three Ps of Marketing -

product, price and...

Product,

price...

What's the third P? I know...

Why can't I remember what the third P is? I know this.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Oh, hello! You're keen.

Got nothing else to do on my day off.

So, who else is coming?

Yeah, the usual suspects.

And that does include Anthony.

Oh, I wasn't...

Yeah, OK!

So, what, you still like him, then?

Doesn't matter if I do. He's not interested.

How can you be so sure?

Because he blatantly doesn't fancy me.

I tell you what you need to do.

You just need to get him drunk.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Why not? Works for me.

You won't say anything, will you?

No. Course not.

-Alice, my lips are sealed.

-OK.

I just came to get my stuff.

It doesn't have to be like this.

No? What could it be like?

All rainbows and gingerbread houses, living happily ever after?

If that's what you want, go call Princess Sharon.

Shirl, I know... I know that you still love me.

You don't know anything.

I know how difficult it was for you to walk away.

Easiest decision I've ever made.

Just come back home, please.

Why? Why should I?

-Because I need you.

-Not good enough.

Because we're still supposed to be getting married.

The wedding is off.

Because I love you.

Because you're scared.

You can feel everything dripping through your fingers

and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

And in answer to your question - no.

I won't be coming back.

And in answer to your second question

that you're too gutless to ask...

..I haven't decided if I'm going to grass you up, yet.

I hope you're going to clear up your mess.

Yeah, sorry about that.

Patrick said it was all right for me to stay here.

Well, Patrick's a good man.

This is his home.

But I need you to know

that I'm not exactly comfortable with you being here.

So, I suggest you just stay out of my way.

Oh, and so you know.

If Shirley needs a place to stay, she comes first.

Promotion! That's it. It's promotion.

That's what we need to get this place buzzing again. It's promotion.

Urgh. Do they ever give it a rest?

-What, are you jealous?

-No, Poppy, he's my cousin.

Nice one, brother. Nice one.

-So, no Tyler?

-No. No, no. He's working.

Yeah, unlike his brother. Slacker.

What, I'm not a slacker, thank you!

No, he's going away tomorrow, doing some work. For about a month.

-Mm, sad face.

-Aw.

You should be grateful, you know? The both of you, for the work.

-Yeah. Something'll come up. You'll see.

-Yeah, all right.

And how's Abi going to feel when she comes back

-and finds out Jay's a murderer?

-He's not actually a murderer.

-Well, no. No. Good as, though.

She'll probably need counselling and that.

Right, well, let's say we get this party started, yes?

-Oh, Luscious Lauren. I'm loving your work, girl.

-OK...

-DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

-Mm?

Seriously? No, come on, man. Come on.

-R&B MUSIC PLAYS

-OK!

OK, OK, so who is up for a little party game?

-Yes, I'm on it!

-You don't even know what it is yet.

-Brother, whatever it is, all right, I am on it.

-How about a little bit of spin the bottle?

-Woah, hold on a minute.

-Yeah, obviously not you two.

-Yeah, Lauren. How old are we? 12?

-All right, chill out, cuz.

Just cos you two are in your little snog fest.

Besides, it's fun.

Yeah, so come on, guys, man, let's do this! Yeah, come on!

Well, everything appears to be in order.

Yep. What did you expect?

And that just leaves the small matter of why the club is closed and losing me money.

Hi. I think Scarlett needs changing.

-Well, then change her.

-Wha...?

Why don't you take her home? Why don't you change her?

Why don't you leave us alone so we can get this place running?

And what about getting this place opened?

-Hi.

-No, sorry, I told you we didn't have any jobs.

Oh, well, actually I'm here to help you. I'm going to run the bar for a bit. Phil's orders.

Phil's orders, huh? You heard the lady. Thank you very much.

Come with me. I'll give you the grand tour.

Right, don't worry. That's the last of it out there. So we'll soon be out your way.

Fine. Look, you don't have to go.

About earlier... I'm...

You're sorry?

Why don't you stay?

I'm sorry, Phil. I can't, all right? I've got Amy to think about now.

I can't have her getting caught up in all of this, can I?

You going to keep schtum?

Yeah, don't worry, OK? The Mitchell Code still applies.

Round and round it goes. Where it stops, nobody knows!

Oh, my days! Yes! Yes! Yes!

In your dreams.

No, no, no. Come on, man, come on - the rules are the rules.

-Back me up, my brothers.

-Yeah.

-The rules are the rules, you got to do it.

-Right, so come on.

-You going to do it?

-All right, then.

She's going to do it! She's going to do it.

THEY CHEER

Better than work any day! Better than work any day!

-All right, next!

-All right, Whitney Dean!

Whitney Dean, your turn.

All right, all right, all right.

THEY CHEER

Oh, Lucy! Screwed, babe, screwed!

-He's up for it!

-Look, he's keen, ain't he?

Yeah, all right, all right.

That's a little bit...

Whoa!

Get out the way, man, it's my turn!

-You have got a boyfriend!

-My turn, my turn, my turn. All right.

-Oh...!

-THEY LAUGH

No, no, no, listen...

But the rules are the rules. Back me up here, sistaz.

-Yeah.

-Definitely.

Do I not even get a say in this, or...?

-No. Right... Kiss! Kiss!

-Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

Look, All right, all right, OK. All right, all right, OK.

Look, just never let it be said

that Fats ain't a man of his word, all right?

THEY CHEER

Come on, man. Look...

Are you not comfortable with your own sexuality?

-Could you stop watching us...?

-Oh, get on with it.

Don't touch me. Just come here, all right. Just...

That was a cheat!

Forfeit! Forfeit! Forfeit! Forfeit! Forfeit!

-PHONE BEEPS

-All right. Thank you. All right. Have a nice day.

There you go, sugar's on the table. Bacon sarnie.

See, I told you this would bring them in.

It's just like the old days.

We need to talk. About Ben.

Yeah, well. You didn't have to enjoy it.

-All right, will you give it a rest now, please, Lucy?

-Awkward!

SHE SNIGGERS

-I'm going to go, guys, all right?

-Hey, Whit!

-Whit...

-Come on, girl.

-They're dropping like flies, aren't they?

But fear not, because there's still fun to be had.

Alice, your turn.

Ooh, it's Alice's turn. All right.

Oh, mate! Mate, go on.

-Enjoy this one, bruv.

-How convenient.

You get in there, man. Go on, man, enjoy yourself.

Remember who her dad is.

Exactly. Don't... Don't.

Wow. How can you say he's not interested?

(Lauren!)

What? You got what you wanted, didn't you, eh?

Honestly, you should hear the way she talks about you.

Seriously, it's like Anthony this, Anthony that, Antony, woo! Lovely!

Lauren...

What?

-Nice one.

-Come on. Mate, she was only joking.

-DOOR LATCH CLICKS

-Everyone's so touchy.

Looks like it's just me and you now, Fats.

Yeah. Yeah, and you know what?

I've actually got to go and see some people and go to some places and...

You know, jobs to get and stuff.

But, you know what? It's been fun. And, yeah, holler at me and that.

Yeah, and how would you like it if I kissed another bloke?

You can do what you want, Lucy. But, come here, come here.

Why would you want to do that when you've got me, eh?

See? Now that's a kiss.

Definitely a 9.5.

Hers was 7, tops.

So we're all good then, yeah?

So you are going to persuade Ben to see you. And I'm coming with you.

I don't know.

This ain't a multiple choice, Ian. I tell you what to do and you do it.

But if Ben says that he doesn't want to see you...

Do you want to see your brother rot in prison for the next ten years?

Because if I can't get in to see him, if I can't get him to change his statement, that's what he's facing.

And you don't want that on your conscience, do you?

Good. Then we'll go tomorrow.

You can't hide away in here forever, you know.

Suppose nothing can be as scary as Denise.

Oh, she's just looking after Shirley. She'll come round.

Ready?

Come on.

I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised, you know.

This Sharon bird, she knows her onions. She's going to get that place in shape.

-Not if I've got anything to do with it.

-Why's that?

We don't need her.

Janine, I'm confused. Five minutes ago you said you...

-Now, what's the deal?

-I don't trust her and I want her out.

Well, you're going to have to explain that to Phil. And he's got his hands full.

Come on, Scarlett, we've got far more important things to do.

What was all that about?

Hormones.

Marie, where's my dad?

Got your message. What's so urgent?

-Good day?

-Yeah.

Looks like it.

So you don't think what Lauren said's going to put Anthony off?

No. No, don't be silly.

Good. Because that kiss...

-What, fireworks?

-Fireworks!

Oh, don't mind if I do.

You all set?

-Do you think he'll be OK?

-He's fine.

He probably just overdid it on his first day back, that's all.

He'll be right as rain tomorrow. Come on, we'll miss the film.

-Oh no, I forgot my phone. I'll catch you up.

-All right.

Won't be long, Dad.

Ain't you at the wrong end of the bar?

I told you, me and Sharon, we're history.

Change the record.

And I don't want us to go the same way.

Is this person bothering you?

No. He's just leaving.

You want a drink?

Nah, you're all right.

This is nice.

Patrick?

Hi, Sharon. The usual for me, please.

-And whatever Jay's having.

-I'll just have a lemonade.

Call yourself Heather's friend?

Oh, come on, Andrew, we don't want any trouble now.

Yeah? Well, you've got it. How can you have that thing in your house?

You want to hit someone? Hit me.

Come on. Come on!

With pleasure. You can't protect him forever! I'm going to get both of them!

Come on, I know Heather wouldn't have liked this.

All right. Go on, big fella.
