20/06/2013 EastEnders

Come on, Morgan, the bread won't toast itself...

What have you done?!

I know. I know! I'm late.

It's all right. Luke's on the stall.

Oh...did Lucy...?

No, I did.

You did such a good job last week, I thought

I'd school you in the art of management so that whenever me

and Denise fancy a weekend away or something, you can take over.

Come on, I'll treat you to breakfast in the caff.

-You all right?

-Yeah.

What's all this then?

What's all what? I'm ironing a shirt.

I'm seeing my daughter, I want to look my best.

You sure they're going to be there?

Yeah, 9.30.

Right. You thought about what you're going to say?

No.

Listen, if you need someone to go with I'll just give Bianca a ring...

No. That's unnecessary, but kind.

Right.

Eggs and bacon sarnie, please. And a cuppa tea.

Ava! Ava, wait. I'll be back in a sec.

Are you really going to act like it was some awkward one-night stand?

It was you.

I'm not going to sit in there pretending that we've never met.

But I thought you were worried about Dexter.

I thought he could come in there any minute. Look at us.

Come back in. I got the table set up all nice.

Cup of tea. Sarnie on the way.

Be like a date.

I wish I could.

Like I said, you've got potential - if you keep your cool.

Ice cold, yeah?

-So you're not the plumber then.

-You got to hurry up.

Winston's looking after the stall while I dropped Tommy off.

He'll have to look after it a little bit longer.

What I don't understand, Morgan, is why you didn't turn the tap off.

I pulled the plug out!

We did taps when you were about four, didn't we?

DOORBELL RINGS

Don't give me that look. It won't work.

Come on, he won't be happy.

I can't go anywhere till the plumber gets here, can I?!

Plumber?

Oh, yeah. Come in.

It's like having a paddling pool at home. She loves it really.

Yeah, the sink's blocked.

-Who's this then?

-The plumber.

Is the water off?

Yeah. No, thanks to Morgan here.

-He's fit.

-What?

-She said "fit."

-Morgan!

THEY LAUGH

Breakfast?

-Not hungry.

-Oh come on.

You can't turn me down now I'm turning into a domestic goddess.

Michael. Good luck, mate.

Taxi!

Where are your tools?

When you're this good, you don't need tools.

Well, he's got a right to go.

Yeah, I know. But if Janine won't let him see Scarlett here

she's hardly going to let him see her in hospital.

What, do you think he'll kick off?

DOORBELL RINGS

-KAT SIGHS

-You don't know with him.

I think this little man might have been the problem.

He's not mine. I've got no soldiers in my life at the moment.

KAT LAUGHS

-Plumber.

-Oh sorry, you've already sent someone.

Eh? No, there's only me, love. One-man show.

-Er, can you come in a minute?

-Yeah.

He's in comms. Doesn't need a gun.

Morgan, come here, babe.

If I was in a war zone, I'd want a little bit more than a telephone.

-Morgan, come here now!

-I didn't put it in the sink.

Come here!

Who's that?

He's the plumber. Who are you?

All right. I'm not the plumber. I'm Derek's mate. Carl.

-You called me the other day.

-So why lie?

-It weren't exactly a lie.

-I think you better leave.

It was just a bit of fun. And I did fix the sink.

-There's still a call out charge.

-Yeah, yeah, you'll get it, right.

As soon as we find out if we've got a nutter on our hands here.

I'm just looking for Derek. He owes me dinner.

-Well, he's dead, so good luck.

-Kat!

Well, he is!

What?! When?

We're creating a universe. A little sanctuary at the heart of Walford.

Where bills and stress and work don't exist.

I thought it was just a restaurant.

Peter, that is the difference between us and them.

Hey, Tanya! How's Lauren doing?

-Yeah...she's fine.

-Yeah, course she is.

If there's anything I can do...

Right, come on you. Let's get cracking.

I'm training him up in the family business.

Always knew he was management material.

Hope Lauren's up and about.

Listen, I know that part's going to turn up. I just want it done.

So we can get rid of that chief, innit.

You need to be patient, my child, all right.

We're building something here.

One day we're going to have a fleet of cars stretching to whole new horizons.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Dex and Jay's Motor Paradise.

-Yeah, Jay and Dex's motor...

-No, no, Dex and Jay.

All right, all right, keep it down, will you?!

I'm not here to start. I thought you might struggle so...

Here's an advance...

We don't need it.

Yeah. We do need it.

You're waiting on the money to sort out the holiday, right?

-So take it.

-We're fine.

-No, we're not.

Did I teach you nothing, eh?

Good. Well...let me know when it's done.

He was one of those characters you think are going to live for ever.

Like he could get hit by a train and just pop back up again.

Like a cartoon.

Pretty nasty cartoon.

So how did you know him?

From round my estate.

He gave me my first driving lesson when I was a boy.

And consequently, my first run in with the police.

The car was nicked.

He always was dodgy.

He always did like hanging around with dodgy characters.

I bet he was a great uncle.

Yeah, he was. I loved having him around, actually.

He lived at Kat's...

Ah, now I know what you mean about him

hanging round with dodgy characters.

THEY LAUGH, KAT SARCASTICALLY

Alice and Joey live there an' all.

How did you come by my number?

I just found it. It was in a box of Derek's.

Alice has got it now, I think.

Right, we really should be getting on.

Let him finish his tea.

Winston's going to kill us.

It's time I headed off.

Would have been nice to see Alice again though.

What, you know her?

She just lives up there. Number 23.

Thanks for the tea. Perfect.

What is wrong with you, saying all that to one of Derek's mates?!

You've changed your tune a bit, haven't you?

Annabel!

Sorry, I don't...

Yeah, I'm...I'm Michael Moon. I'm Scarlett Moon's dad.

She's got a 9.30 appointment here.

Oh. It would be good to see Janine again. Is she here?

-Not yet, no.

-Well, I'll keep an eye out.

DOOR BEEPS

Hello?

You must be Alice. You've got his eyes. But not his chin.

Praise the Lord.

I don't follow.

HE SIGHS

I was a friend of your dad's. I've only just found out, actually.

I'm sorry for your loss.

You knew my dad?

Not only that. I'm kind of your Guardian Angel.

-Oh, are you now?

-SHE LAUGHS

No, Tan, it just sounds like meddling.

-No, it's more of a...

-Sorry, am I interrupting something?

Course not. Tan just wanted to talk about Lauren.

-Yeah. At least one of us does.

-I just don't think it's a good idea.

-What isn't?

-Tan, she wants to set Lauren up.

What, on a date?

No. No, it's more of a sort of catch up, you know.

-With an old friend.

-That's a good idea. Who with?

Peter Beale. You know, Ian's boy.

She should be keeping her head down not running round after boys.

She needs something, Max. She's struggling.

Yeah? Well, I'm not getting involved, Tan.

You just don't like him.

Well, look, if Tanya thinks he's a nice boy,

and he's interested, then we should go for it.

He hated me at first! On account of my liberal views.

So what changed?

My liberal views!

THEY LAUGH

Over time he got to trust me.

That's why he said, you know,

if anything happened to him to look out for you.

I've got Joey for that.

Yeah, he wasn't quite convinced Joey was up to it. No offence.

That's fair enough. He has changed a bit since then. He's grown up.

That's good to hear.

So Derek lived with you, here?

Yeah. Joey's got his old room now.

He would have liked that.

-Do you mind if I use your bathroom?

-Yeah, sure, it's just upstairs.

You OK?

I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't be in here but I just...

I just wanted to get a sense of him. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, I do.

It's weird to think if Bianca hadn't found my number in that

little box I would never have known.

Wonder if there's anything else of yours in there?

It's mainly pictures and that. But have a look.

Thanks.

Strange, eh, going through a dead man's possessions.

Makes me feel close to him.

Yeah, it does. Must have been hard for you.

Going through his stuff when he passed away.

Yeah, it was awful at first.

All his clothes still smelt like him.

I don't know, after a while...

There's so much of his stuff dotted about everywhere

-it sort of felt like a treasure hunt.

-Oh, yeah?

Yeah. Like Auntie Carol gave me that box after Ian gave it to her.

Auntie Carol! Yeah...

Dad's sister. Bianca's mum.

-So that would make Ian...

-Oh, no, we're not related.

But Ian had the box?

Yeah, he took over dad's lock-up to set up a restaurant.

And just found it hidden away somewhere.

Alice!

We're in here!

What are you doing here?

Oh, do you two know each other?

Alice was just showing me Derek's old room.

Why?

I better go.

Oh, no, stay. It was nice meeting somebody that knows my dad.

I'll see you again. I promise.

-OK.

-See you.

-Bye.

Isn't he lovely?

There's been no call, no? No cancellation?

-No nothing? Annabel.

-Hey. Is Janine here yet?

No, she isn't. Have you heard anything?

Well, this was for an hour ago. They won't see you now, I'm afraid.

She wouldn't miss this appointment. She came, didn't she?

-You snuck her in!

-You're not allowed to go in there. That's ICU.

-Her appointment isn't even in there!

-I want to see my daughter!

You need to calm down.

She was supposed to be here. I'm supposed to see her.

Did she know that you'd be here?

So that's it then. We can really go?

-The world's our oyster. Ish. Ish.

-No, it is. It is.

We can go and get sunglasses, bikinis.

BOTH: Bikini shopping!

THEY GIGGLE EXCITEDLY

Might treat myself to a new pair of trunks.

-What do you reckon? Dex, what do you reckon?

-What?

New pair of trunks.

Oh come on, Dex. Just think of the cocktails!

I don't like owing him, man.

Mate, will you change the record? He's just paid for the car.

Yeah, innit. Dex? I'll go, I'll go.

Don't lose that.

We won't. We're going away with this.

-Silverware.

-Silverware?

OK. Now pay attention, OK?

Starting from the outside, working your way in,

in the order of the courses.

Knives go on the right-hand side, forks go on the left-hand side.

Serrated edges on the knives, facing in. OK?

Yep. Bit neater.

That's a dessert spoon!

Course. I should have innately known where a dessert spoon goes.

-Where you going?

-I need a break. I do get one, don't I?

Under EU law?

Peter. I was just coming to find you.

Oh, yeah? Everything all right?

Yeah. It's just that you were asking about Lauren earlier...

I was.

Yeah, that was sweet of you.

I only said hello.

No, I know. It's just...

She's been having a really bad time of it lately.

-And she could use some company.

-Company?

Yeah, you know, nothing serious. You know, not a date or anything.

It's just...maybe if you could take her to lunch. You know...

Talk about the old times.

Come on, Peter, you've had enough time, yeah.

-Please. She really needs help.

-I'm sorry, we're really busy.

-Service is in less than an hour.

-Yeah.

-I'll...think about it.

-Please do.

It's just that she was so happy when you used to be around, you know.

I know she never showed it but...

She was still my little girl then.

I don't think Max sees it that way.

Look, let me worry about Max. Please, will you think about it?

-Look, I've really got to get back to work.

-Yes, of course.

She wants me to take Lauren out.

You said no, right?

Oh, come on, the girl's a lost cause.

So were you, once.

You shouldn't be here.

I just want to say something.

Well, make it quick.

You know how I said I'd be gone, as soon as my car was fixed?

Yep.

Well, I'm not. I'm staying.

Cos last night was too amazing not to.

-LOLA:

-Dex! Please!

No, man, he don't even care about us.

He only gave me that money so he could suck up to me.

Yeah, well, I don't business. Money is money, innit.

You get it, you spend it.

I do business. And what do you mean money's money?

It don't matter where it comes from?

Well, not to me, no. You need to think of the holiday.

Dex, please. Come on.

Right, tell her.

Tell her what?

About this Carl coming round.

He was really nice! We spoke about Dad. Said he misses him.

-Oh, that's lovely.

-And?

And what? We spoke about Dad. I don't see what the problem is.

Alice, when was the first time you saw this Carl?

-Today.

-Yeah, same!

Have you forgotten why you told him where she lives?

"Oh, it'd be so nice to see Alice again."

Oh, yeah, he did say that.

Right, thank you. He lied. Why?

I think we should be more careful before we tell him

our life stories, yeah?

Pint please, love. Lager. Whatever's coldest.

Please, I'm just asking you to have a word with him.

Getting Carol involved backfired, didn't it?

I think this could be worth a shot.

No Tan, all right? I already told you. No.

But he won't do it, cos he's worried about you.

That's good. She needs support.

Not us behind the scenes, pulling all the strings.

I'm running the salon. You're working all the time.

She sits in that flat doing nothing all day. That's not support, is it?

No, Tan, all right? Orange juice, please.

Max? Oh, well, great, thanks.

It's always nice to get a reminder of why we're not together any more.

Listen, the secret to being a good landlord is being a

good drinking companion but without the drinking, all right?

-OK.

-Don't listen to him.

You don't want to be stuck behind a bar your whole life.

Oi, there's nothing wrong with that, OK.

Here we go, you got the tractor here.

Oh, no, have you broke it? You broke it!

I've got to be the Chief Tractor Fixer now, haven't I?

Hello, my little darling!

Michael.

How did it go?

Is it Max Branning?

Yeah. Sorry, I can't place you.

Oh, we haven't met. I'm...I'm after a car.

Oh, right. I'm just meeting the missus for lunch.

-Back open in about an hour.

-Right you are. I'll nip in later.

All right.

Hey, you wouldn't know where I can find a fella called Ian?

Runs a restaurant.

Yeah, that'll be Scarlett's.

-You go out of there, do a left, Turpin Road.

-Thanks.

All right. Listen, make sure you pop by later, yeah.

Yeah, I will. All the best, Max.

-Hiya.

-You all right?

Um...have you got a sec?

-Yeah, come in.

-Cheers.

Sorry about the mess. Can't get the staff these days.

Look, I was wondering...

I wondered if you fancy going out for lunch some time.

In public? Have you seen the state of me?

You look great.

Anyway, I thought it might be nice, you know, bit of a catch up.

Yeah. It would.

So that's a yes?

SHE GROANS

You OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Lauren, is there something you're not telling me?

I don't have to tell you anything.

Look, shall I call your mum?

-What are you after?

-After?

It's not like before, all right. With all the stupid love poems...

I know that, I don't mind.

Yeah, well, I do, all right! Every time you look at me.

I can't compete with the lovesick memory that you've got in your head.

It's not like that.

Can you get out please? Can you get out?!

MICHAEL: Orange one first. Orange one first.

I can't do it.

Yeah, you can. That goes there and then you've got orange.

-You have to make sure that they fit.

-No!

-That one then.

This way.

-That's good. Do you love your mummy?

-Big one.

-Do you love your mummy?

-This one.

-Do you love your mummy?

-This one.

I love my mummy. That way.

Cos I've got something to tell you. I'm your daddy.

Michael!

And you are my son.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Do that.

Yeah. Clever.

There you go. Looks nothing like it.

Funny name for a bloke.

Yeah, it was named after someone's daughter.

-You just open?

-Yeah. You live round here?

Nah. I can still smell the paint.

Must have cost quite a bit of money to set up a place like this.

Yeah. No expense spared.

What's the rent on a place like this?

Don't worry, I'm not from the HMRC.

I pay my taxes.

You'd be a fool to say otherwise, eh. Good man.

Can I interest you in some lunch?

Yeah, I'm looking for Derek Branning. Do you know him?

No...

No. Good meeting you.

Nice place.

Sorry, what was your name, if it's not Scarlett?

I've actually got quite a lot to do. It's Ian.

Tell me, Ian, are you open for dinner?

-Yeah. Course.

-Good.

When I went inside, Derek said he'd take me for dinner when I got out.

Anywhere I wanted.

So I'll come here.

Well, there are nicer places.

What are you talking about? This is your livelihood.

You should have some pride!

Come on, give me the sales pitch!

This...is a house of fine dining.

With a selection of fine wines. Expensive silverware.

Exotic linens with which to wipe your sated lips.

Every need met.

Every want indulged, every anxiety silenced.

Look, I've been thinking, this Derek fella, if he's paying,

why don't you try and squeeze as much out of him as you can

and go somewhere really nice?

"This Derek fella."

There was an earthquake, the day they sent me down.

Derek said it was the gods applauding my sentence.

I thought it was a coincidence but people love their superstitions.

-Are you superstitious, Ian?

-Sometimes.

Well, then you might argue it was fate that drew me here.

See, there I was trying to get hold of Derek, when my mobile rings...

Look, I really have got things to do...

It's a woman called Bianca. I know you know her.

Yeah, she's sort of family. She's my niece.

There you go! Fate!

So one day, Bianca is on the phone to me, the next day we're

organising my slap up meal with Derek Branning

who she knows and you don't.

Yeah. It does sound strange, doesn't it?

To me, it's all coincidence.

Pleasure meeting you, Ian.

Although, you are the least inquisitive man I've ever met.

Really? How?

A fella tells you he just got out of prison,

you don't want to know what he did.

A fella asks your name, you don't ask for his.

That same fella tells you he's been chatting to your niece,

you don't even want to know why...

Look, I really have got work to do. I'm busy.

Book me a spot. 8.00. Usual place.

Under the name Carl White.

Consider it done.

Oh, and keep some bubbly on ice.

Cos between you and me, Derek owes me money.

£10,000.

Ten?

Yeah, he's been keeping it for me in a little box all this time.

See you tonight, Ian.
