# Say the bells of St Martin's

# When will you pay me?

# Say the bells of Old Bailey

# When I grow rich

# Say the bells of Shoreditch

# When will that be?

# Say the bells at Stepney

# I do not know

# Say the great bells at Bow. #

Here comes a candle to light you to bed

and here comes a chopper to chop off daddy's head.

..and there's also the chance of infection

and the risk of the remaining kidney failing.

But these are worst-case scenarios.

For someone of your age and good health,

we wouldn't expect any complications.

The anaesthetist will come and talk to you about the specific risks

associated with the anaesthetic.

I'll leave the consent form with you so you can read it through

and you'll need to sign it by the end of the day.

If you have any final questions, you know where I am.

Dexter?

Are you OK?

I'm sorry.

I can't do this.

Dexter!

Let him go.

Yeah, and if you needed a kidney, I'd give you one of mine.

Aw, thanks, sis.

Yeah, same goes to you.

Just as long as you don't need a liver.

Hello, campers.

Nan!

Oh!

Oh, what a lovely welcome.

Come on, what have I missed?

I knew she'd crack eventually.

Beneath that harsh exterior is a very fragile mind.

It's in the genes, you know.

She's weak.

PHONE RINGS

It's Janine. I should go. I'm late.

No, don't.

Let's see how she copes on her own for a bit.

Let the seed of doubt take root.

No, I really should go, Michael...

"Once all struggle's are grasped, Alice, miracles are possible."

That's Mao.

Oh, you look smart. Where're you off to? Court? Very funny.

Actually, if you must know,

it's my interview for teaching assistant today.

Oh, right. I could give you a few tips if you like.

How to sweet-talk the interviewer.

It's just like closing a deal, really.

And when it comes to closing deals, I'm your man.

I've got a few things on the go at the moment, as it happens.

Well, I think can manage, thank you.

And besides, Ava's doing the interview today

so it's kind of a done deal.

Right.

I don't know why you went running to Michael

but I really need you here now, so...

FRONT DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES Finally!

Only me. Alice is unwell.

How convenient. Yeah, she's probably got Scarlett's bug.

So you just thought you'd let yourself in?

Yeah, I borrowed her keys. How is Scarlett?

Scarlett is fine. Cos I thought if you were busy with your work,

which clearly you are, I would take her to the doctor's for you.

There's no need, I took her to the doctor's this morning

and he confirmed it was just a cold. Nothing serious.

Very good. Very good parenting skills.

Right.

So you'll be able to manage on your own without Alice today, yeah?

What?

I wouldn't because I'm a bad mother?

OK. Maybe I overstepped the mark.

So you think I'm a good mother?

Let's not be hasty. You try your best.

But we could all do with some help from time to time.

Well, I don't need any help.

Especially not yours.

So you can see yourself out.

OK. That's very clear.

Just try and avoid any accidents, would be my only...

Just get out, Michael.

And, just an observation,

but this place could do with a bit of a tidy up.

I'm going.

Can I just get two coffees to go, please?

You look nice. Thanks. So do you. All set for the big day?

Oh, yeah. No sweat.

We should go out later. Celebrate. I'm skint.

I thought you'd be raking it in.

I wish. I'm more like the dogsbody,

and Danny's the one making all the money.

At least you've got some nice eye candy at work.

Do you think?

As if you ain't noticed.

PHONE RINGS

I got your text.

You OK?

The operation got brought forward.

Right. Did you tell 'em?

Right, well, it is good you told them how you felt.

Is it? Yeah.

Dex, how did they take it?

Well, look, if you want I can always come back to the hospital with you.

What's the point of me being there if I'm not going to go through?

You should be there to support your dad.

So what, you judging me as well now? No. Of course not.

Well, that's what it sounds like, Abi. Dexter!

You know what, just forget it. I can't do this.

I'm going to work.

Walford General Hospital.

5 Albert Square. How much?

OK. Quick as you can.

KNOCK ON THE DOOR

Patrick.

Can I come in?

I was just on my way out.

Is everything all right?

Let me see.

I come home to find my weasel ex son-in-law banged up in prison,

while his Afghan Hound of a wife is playing happy families

with my granddaughters, who are working their fingers to the bone

trying to keep this family afloat.

And my grandson is about to have his kidney ripped out.

Haven't forgotten anything, have I?

Look, I just didn't think it was in my place to say anything.

Why don't I make it up to you? Take you out for lunch, hmm?

I don't think so. I'm on my way to the hospital.

So, what?

You'd rather go barging in there like a bull in a china shop?

What would you prefer I did?

Made small talk over a whiskey and sour

while my grandson makes the biggest mistake of his young life?

Look, it's a brave thing that boy's doing.

It's a stupid thing! And you should have told me.

Maybe if...Dexter wanted you to know,

he would've have told you himself.

Yeah, I had trials for West Ham when I was younger.

Really? Hmm.

Wow. You must have been pretty good.

I was all right, you know.

Oh!

Would you two get a room?

In fact, you should be doing what I pay you to do instead. OK?

Um, yeah, actually, about that...

I was wondering if there was any chance of a pay rise?

What for? Sitting around and flirting?

Um, well you did say that if I proved myself

then I'd be on equal footing with Danny,

and I did step up those rent increases.

Fine. Lucy, you are now also responsible for new business.

Danny, can show you the ropes.

Yes, boss. And just so you two don't get too cosy,

you're both in competition with each other for commission.

May the best minion win.

So, looks like we're going to be working together

more closely from now on.

You know, she's actually in a worse state than I thought.

Yeah. She's trying to maintain the facade, but she's hurting.

She's really hurting.

So you're actually enjoying this? Yeah. It's great.

It transcends enjoyment, actually.

I am luxuriating in it.

I'm sating myself with her misery.

I think I should go round there, and at least apologise for yesterday.

You can't. I told her you were sick. What did you do that for?

Well, thanks for nothing. She'll be even angrier at me now.

Go round there then. Well, I can't. You've told her I'm sick.

Tell her you got better.

No don't, tell her that you were too scared to go round there.

Yeah, she'll like that. Keep her on the back foot.

See how she's coping.

See you later.

What do you mean you ain't got one?

You sell classic car parts, don't you?

Got a problem? What do you want?

I found out about some cheap booze.

Thought you might be interested for the club.

And why would I want to do business with you?

We were going to do business together before Max tried to do us in.

You've got some front, ain't ya?

First of all you try and muscle in on my club, now you try

and sell me some dodgy booze for it. Hands up. I was out of line,

but I was just trying to test, see whether Ronnie was up to the job.

As far as I can tell, we've been stitched up by the Brannings.

And I don't know about you, but I don't like being stitched up.

Well, unless you've got a wing mirror for a 1973 Austin Allegro,

I ain't interested.

That means, sling your hook.

What's he want? Nothing.

Just get on with your work.

So, feeling better, are we?

I wasn't really ill.

I'd gathered that much.

I'm sorry, Janine. What for?

Running to Michael behind my back or lying about being ill?

How's Scarlett?

Scarlett's fine. Why would you even go to him?

I didn't. Of course you didn't.

No, I actually didn't. I just told him that Scarlett was ill.

Oh. So it was Saint Michael to the rescue.

Look, I know you two don't really see eye to eye at the minute...

And never will.

So Scarlett just grows up with both her parents at each other's throats?

I know this really isn't my place to say,

but neither of you are exactly perfect.

You both care about Scarlett,

so no matter what you think about Michael,

he's always going to be her dad.

Shall I take her for the afternoon?

No. No, actually you can have the day off.

Well, go on, run along. Go and see that weird little boyfriend of yours

or something. I've got things to do.

PHONE RINGS

Are you sure you should be here?

And I suppose you think I should be at the hospital too, yeah?

Do you know what, Jay, I proper don't understand you!

Weren't you the one that was against the whole thing?

I am. I just meant... Oh, just forget it, man.

Where you going?

No-one's angry with you, Dex,

and there's no pressure on you to do anything that you don't want to do.

I just want to know you're OK.

I love you.

Maybe I should go and look for him.

Just give him some time.

Time?

That's the one thing we haven't got.

Just...

..stay with me a while.

Please.

Dexter will...come back.

Where's Dexter?

Seen sense and done a runner, has he?

I'm sure you'll be very happy in your new home. Thank you very much.

You were right. This is easy.

It is when you've been taught by the best.

Why don't you take me for a drink later on your commission?

Little thank you for showing you the ropes.

Maybe.

Please, Patrick,

don't tell me you're going to give me a hard time too.

You hiding from your gran too?

What? Nan's back? And on the warpath!

Yeah, man. She went charging off to the hospital like a greyhound.

Maybe I'll stay here then.

PHONE RINGS

Ain't you going to answer that?

Mum going spare.

She's probably worried about you.

Worried Dad won't get his kidney more like.

You know, son,

that is a brave thing you're thinking of doing.

So everyone keeps telling me.

It's OK to be scared. Look, I ain't scared.

Then why did you run away? I didn't run away.

Look, son,

nobody is going to think any less of you if you can't go through with it.

I don't care what people think about me.

So you're worried what might happen to you if you do go through with it?

No! Then what? Look, I...

I'm worried how Mum will cope if something happens to me.

It's always just been the two of us.

But now...

I've got this opportunity to do something amazing.

To save my dad's life.

And I want to.

I do.

Even though Mum's against it.

And I just thought, "You know what, Dex,

"if you just talk up.

"Just say how you feel about it then you'll feel better."

But...

I didn't.

Look, I ain't scared.

Not for me.

I'm scared for Mum.

What am I going to do?

You go back to the hospital

and tell your mum exactly what you just told me.

Hello. All right?

I thought you might like to have her for a couple of hours.

I've got a meeting that I need to go to.

Why the change of heart? Do you want her or don't you?

Of course I want her. Good. Come to Daddy.

Here she comes. Have her back to me by 12.30.

Here she comes. Look at you. You're so big.

Aren't you? Look how big you've got.

Yeah. Can it not wait?

No, that's fine, I will be right over.

One of my stupid tenants has locked themselves out.

So, what's the problem?

I've got Mr Simmonds coming over in 20, so...

But you couldn't run the spare key over for me, could you?

Can't, I'm afraid. Got a client coming in myself in a minute.

I'll tell you what I could do, I could always keep Simmonds sweet

till you get back.

Yes! Thank you. You're a life-saver.

I tell you what, I will buy you that drink out of my commission.

PHONE BEEPS

Who's that? Your boyfriend?

You know, Lauren, you can do a lot better than Peter Beale.

I know.

Which is why I'm not seeing him. I'm seeing somebody else.

What? Who? Who're you seeing now?

Do you know what, Joey, just get off my back, will you?

Where did these come from?

I dunno.

What about the sheep?

Look, and there's a button.

There's a bell, look. Press the bell.

RINGS BELL

That's the lion. And the duck.

And the chicken.

And the frog.

And then just punch him in the head. That's it.

Give it a good old right-hander. Well done.

Crisis averted? Uh, yes, thank you.

Where's Mr Simmonds? He had to shoot off.

Great!

Don't worry, he did have a chance to sign the contract

just before he left. Ah!

Why does it have your name on it?

Cos I closed the deal.

This is my deal.

Well, so you say, I think the contract says different.

That's not fair.

All's fair in love and business, Lucy.

Yeah, I told you, I'll get back to you, yeah?

What do you want? Did you get the little present I sent you?

I suppose you think you're clever.

No, not me. I'm never the brains of the outfit.

I leave that to other people. I'm a fixer.

Get you whatever you want.

Which is why me and you'd make a good team.

You've got the brains and the outlets.

I've got the contacts.

Phil, listen, this booze deal,

it's too good to turn down.

Let me be the judge of that.

Let's go down the club and talk about it, yeah.

Er, Phil, can I borrow you a minute? Can't it wait?

No. Having a problem with this fan belt.

What's the problem? You ain't really doing business with him, are you?

You seemed happy enough to get involved with him

when I was in hospital. I had no choice then!

It's a bit of business, that's all. What kind of business?

Is it drugs?

We going or what?

The uh...

..deal's off. Phil...

I said the deal's off.

Ava weren't even there. She's gone to the hospital with Sam.

He stole all of my commission off of me.

It was more like an interrogation than an interview.

And that smug look on his face...

Great day all round then. All right, Whitney. How did the interview go?

Yeah. It was great. Well done. I knew you could do it.

A cup of tea, please, love.

Do you want me to go and get lunch?

Yeah.

Don't fancy paying, do you? Only I'm a bit short this month.

The erm... The thing is, Phil,

I'm a bit short on my rent as well at the B&B.

So, I was wondering...

..could I move back in for a bit?

You know, just to save me some money?

I know I've already asked and I know you said no.

But you'd be doing me a massive favour.

Well, I suppose if it helps you out I could er...

I could suffer it.

Right. Thanks, Phil.

Jay.

I'll have a bacon sandwich.

How can you even think of putting Dexter at risk like this?

Do you think we did this lightly?

The doctors told us he's young, he's healthy. The risks are minimal.

That's what you're telling yourself, is it?

Putting the man who ran out on you

over your own son.

If you must know, Cora...

..Ava was against Dexter doing this.

So why didn't you stop him?

You talk her round, did you?

Look, this isn't helping. I am going to go find Dexter.

I'll go. He's my son.

And my grandson.

Nice to see you're all so concerned about me.

Dexter, are you all right? I'm fine.

Nothing a good talking to won't fix.

Nan, come on... Dexter, now listen to me.

This is madness. Plain and simple.

A few months ago you couldn't bear him anywhere near you.

And you didn't know him from Adam.

And now you're prepared to risk your life...

Yeah, but Nan...

Oh, don't spout all that about being young and healthy.

This is a major operation. And it has risks.

What about later on in life and you become ill and you need the kidney?

They don't do sale and return, darling.

Have you finished? I ain't even started yet.

You know what?

All the way down here

I wasn't sure if I was going to do this, you know.

But you, you've just made it so much more easier for me, Nan.

Because you're right.

A couple of months ago, I didn't know him from Adam.

And when I found out who he was, I hated him.

I was angry with him.

Didn't want him around.

And in spite of everything I threw at him,

he stuck around.

And do you know, I'm glad he did.

Because if he'd have given up I never would've got to know my dad.

And now that I have, I'm not prepared to lose him again.

And I know you're only looking out for me, Nan.

But this is my decision.

So I need you to respect that. Yeah? And stop being angry with my mum.

Because if anything happens to me... Babe, nothing's going to...

If anything happens to me, you two need to look out for each other.

Do you hear me?

She went out like a light.

Yeah. So you heeded my advice about this place.

Yeah. I thought I'd get my house in order.

Yeah. What made you change your mind?

Something Alice said.

Alice? Good old Alice, eh. Yeah.

In fact, what she said made me do quite a lot of thinking.

I must say, I find your attitude impressive.

Well, we both want what's best for Scarlett, don't we?

Of course we do.

Did you enjoy your little daddy-daughter session today?

Yes, Janine. I did. Good.

Because it's going to be the last one you have in a really,

really long time.

You see, the appointment

was with my solicitor.

I'm changing Scarlett's name...

..to Butcher.

No. She's my daughter. She's Scarlett Moon.

Not for much longer.

You can't do that without my consent.

I have rights.

I have very deep pockets and I don't see how you're going to stop me.

See, I may not be the world's greatest mother,

but I do hold all the cards.

And I don't want you to have anything to do with

Scarlett's upbringing.

What's the matter?

Did you get all excited?

Did you get your hopes up after today? Start imagining some sort of

life of domestic bliss?

And I've cruelly snatched that away from you.

Really must hurt.

You think you're so clever, Michael.

But you're not.

You're just...

..a very messed up, abandoned,

scared little boy who's still crying over his mother's dead body.

Say sorry now.

Sorry! That's it.

You kiss Scarlett night-night for me.
