17/07/2014 EastEnders

Thanks for breakfast, Phil.

What, you waiting for the knock?

Yeah, well, he did the decent thing.

Decent?

-Right, should we get out of here, then?

-Yeah. See ya later.

Egg and cress.

That's 20 quid.

How did it go with the police?

Bin men should have come by now, shouldn't they?

-What?

-Nothing.

Come on, watch your step. Down we go.

There we go.

Can we go to the clothes shop?

Pops. That's that copper, ain't it?

Yeah.

Could you watch the stall?

-Yeah.

-Thanks.

Are you here to see my dad?

-And you are?

-Peter.

Beale.

Sorry for your loss. Can we go in?

They're going to tell them about me and Lucy, ain't they?

You don't know that.

Come on, you must have a favourite.

Yeah, but there's just, you know, so many to choose from.

Check out the one with the dog-eared page.

He can't be serious.

It's the police.

I still think it's a shame.

That new style - I thought it was a strong look.

Yeah, well, I ain't betraying Mario. He's been doing my hair for years.

Yeah, all right, all right. Calm down.

I knew yesterday would make me feel old. Should never have let you talk me into doing it.

You know, my favourite part of the day is waking up,

and looking at you...

with no foundation, no lippy...

Just you. The bit no-one else gets to see.

You always just say "fine"!

That's because it is! Now come on, we're going to be late.

-Right, Dad. What do you think? How do I look?

-Er, yeah, fine.

Accept it! You look fine! East London University ain't going to know what's hit it.

Now come on, Abs, please.

-All right, Dad, I'll see you later.

-All right, see you later.

-Bye.

-Cheers, mate.

Hold up. You two need a lift anywhere or anything?

Probably be easier to get a train, won't it?

Jay, would you calm down, all right?

You could make it less obvious what uni you want me to go to.

I'm impartial, all right? It's completely up to you.

You can go to a university in London that's got 16.8 million people living in it alone,

or you can go to Liverpool.

The choice is completely yours.

Lauren?

What's all this?

Er, me moving back home?

Here you go. Oh, you did say two sugars, didn't you?

Yeah. Perfect. Thanks.

So there's a bit to update you on. Some of it promising...

I don't want to seem rude or anything, but where's DCI Irving?

He's been assigned to another division.

We've got a new DCI and I've been drafted in as their man on the ground so in future...

Hey, hey... aren't you supposed to have continuity or something?

Well, it can be a good thing to change up an investigation.

-So who's been demoted? Him or you?

-Peter.

You, um... You said you'd got some updates for us.

Due to new witness statements,

it's looking like the CPS won't proceed with the prosecution

and the defence have applied for bail.

-I don't understand, sorry.

-You're letting Jake go?

If he gets bail, he could be out by the end of the week.

You're letting the man who killed my daughter go free?

No, we're not doing that. I don't think we've found them yet.

So what changed your mind?

So what are these new statements, then?

I can't go into that

but they have cast doubt on Mr Stone's involvement.

Why can't you go into it?

We are making progress, Mr Beale.

Hang on - you've had the wrong person locked up for weeks, right,

-and you call that progress?!

-Ian.

Well, at least it'll stop us wasting time pursuing the wrong suspect.

I knew he wasn't guilty! I've said it all along. Haven't I, Dad?

-How come I know more than you?

-We're never going to get them, are we?

-They're just going to be out there, laughing at us.

-Course they are.

I bet you don't even have a suspect, do you?

You haven't got a clue.

We understand that this is a very emotional time for all of you.

-Is this why Irving got taken off the case?

-It was decided that a fresh pair of eyes...

Oh, don't give them that training manual bull.

OK, the CPS aren't going to prosecute Mr Stone

and, yes, I appreciate that's painful.

But your daughter's killer isn't laughing.

They have been.

They've been sitting back, watching us go after Mr Stone. But now?

It's bad news for you.

But it's terrifying for them.

Pops.

What's taking them so long?

Look, I know you didn't do anything wrong,

but you're stood here and you don't half look suspicious.

I'm a bloke, ain't I? I'm out with my family.

If they are telling them in there,

do you really want to be around to find out?

No. Well, how about you take Janet down your allotment

and I'll call you when they come out, all right?

Come on.

And I was just laying there last night,

Nan snoring her head off. I was thinking of all the rules

that I'd have to lay down if I did come back here.

So, no secrets. No lies.

Yeah, course.

And then I thought, what is the point?

Why am I going to give you rules that you're just going to break?

You know, you're you. I'm me.

We've either got to get on with it or...

that's it.

So what are you saying?

I'm saying that after my shift, I'd like to come back here.

Yeah.

Come here.

You all right?

Hmm. Following me now, are you? You weirdo.

Oh, come on. Your place to here's 100 yards away.

Following someone 100 yards ain't weird. But if I followed you to work, however...

OK... Now, you see this thing you've got going on here, this chat.

Has it ever got results, or what?

All right, all right. Look, to tell you the truth, I wanted...

Look, I wanted to ask you out for a drink or something.

I think I made myself clear yesterday, Lee, OK?

I'm no-one's flavour of the week.

No-one's.

Oi! Know when you're beaten.

Ow!

Investigations can hit walls. No new calls. No new leads.

We are nowhere near that. We have fresh lines of inquiry.

We're still out there looking for Lucy's phone and her purse.

-We will find the person who did this.

-If they haven't left the country.

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-I'll just...

These new witnesses. Do we know them?

I would ask you to let us do our job.

We will inform you as soon as there's something you should hear.

It's Emma.

Sorry I'm late.

Summerhayes.

We'll let ourselves out.

Have they, um... Have they explained everything?

Yeah... Um, look, do you know who these new witnesses are?

I thought I saw you here yesterday!

You do know, don't you?!

BIRDSONG

Janet, what the hell are you playing at?!

-It's all right, Billy, it's OK...

-No, no, you weren't brought up like that.

-You was brought up to respect for people.

-Billy, she's just playing.

We're going home now. No carnations, no geraniums. Nothing!

Hey, Billy, Billy, Billy. She's just being a kid. OK?

OK, sorry.

Sorry, mate, tough times, you know.

I bet. How is Peter?

Oh, come on, Billy, make yourself comfortable in the deck chair,

and I'll take Janet over to have a look at the geraniums!

# One geranium, two geranium, three geranium, four

# Five geranium, six geranium, seven geranium, more. #

I was... I was just... tying up some loose ends.

-That's rubbish.

-Give her some space.

Yeah, if you weren't here to see us, who did you see?

I saw you walking down Bridge Street away from the square.

-So does that mean it's someone on the square?

-Peter, calm down.

-I can't tell you...

-You know!

You're our liaison officer. You're here to help us.

I don't have the authority!

Look, if I tell you, I will lose my job.

Emma, please, just give us something. What about the earring?

What about the blood? I mean, just because there's new witness statements

doesn't take away the fact they were found in his flat.

But it might change how they got there.

Look, at least they're being honest with us now.

No, I reckon they've got more than a witness.

I just saw the way Bryant and Keeble looked. They've got a suspect.

I can tell you that that's not true.

So what am I supposed to do? Just forgive Jake?

You told me he was guilty.

I was wrong.

If he's innocent, darling, there's nothing to forgive him for.

Come on, I didn't mean it to sound like that...

but it's true, ain't it?

You don't want them to put the wrong person inside. That ain't justice.

I get up in the morning, I see his face.

I go to bed at night, I see his face.

Where you going?

Anywhere there's no coppers.

Ian wants to go for a swim.

You think he found out about Billy?

Well, there's only one way to find out, ain't there?

-You all right to manage?

-Course.

Give us a kiss.

Mwah!

Thought I showed you how to style it yourself?

Didn't fancy it.

You might change your mind when you see this.

I personally think he's really got a hold of you there.

Take it. Put it up.

Don't touch me again. It ain't welcome.

And it weren't invited.

Right, what's your poison today, Al? You back on the rum?

SHE LAUGHS

-How are ya?

-Yeah, I'm good. You all right?

So that's two bacon and egg butties with tea...

and one full English without, yeah?

-Excuse me!

-Yeah, hang on a minute, love.

-Unless you want your sausages raw.

-Thank you.

You must have come across your fair share of difficult women.

Are we talking about the cafe, or my sexual preference?

Cos right now either would be true.

No, no, romantically and that. It's just Whitney, she just won't...

What, respond to your charms?

-Yeah.

-Ah, Lee. You're so incompetent yet so well trained.

I'll tell you what.

I will share the secret to winning a difficult girl's heart...

If you help me for the rest of the shift.

Done!

Where've you been? The police went past ages ago.

Is everything all right?

Thanks for watching the stall.

Well, what did the police say?

-Sorry, it's none of my business.

-They're granting Jake bail.

-Why?

-Well, they don't think he did it any more.

New witnesses have come forward.

Oh, did they say who?

Apparently being Lucy's twin doesn't give me a right to know.

Listen, Peter...

I just want to be on my own, all right?

There we go...

Oh, it's nearly finished.

OK, come on, let's go and get some more water.

Come on, we go over here...

PHONE RINGS

Lo... What happened?

They didn't tell him?

Oh, thank God for that.

Yeah... Me too.

No. We'll be back in a little bit.

All right, love ya.

Right, you two! We are going to go to the boozer.

Because I deserve a beer!

Wow, OK, I'll put that there. Let's go with Billy.

Come on, good girl, ain't ya?

Thanks, mate.

-Ian?

-Yeah, in here.

Cheers for this, Mick... I just...I just needed to get out.

-Swim's as good an excuse as any.

-Don't worry about it.

After last time's fiasco, I think I need to up my training.

-You don't fancy driving, do you?

-Well, you normally drive.

I usually stare out the window, on the verge of wetting myself.

The, er...police have dropped the charges against Jake.

How come?

New evidence. New witness statement, I dunno.

They tell you who?

Listen, I was thinking about you and Linda.

Oh, yeah?

How do you cope with Lee being away?

I mean, not knowing how your child is.

I mean, where they are. How they are. If they're hurt.

Who hurt him.

It's just the worst thing...

Ian. Sit down, please.

I'll have a big glass of lemonade and a big plate of chips, please.

And the same for me too.

-Patrick, listen, mate, I'm a bit skint. I can't sub you.

-No, no, it's all right, it's on me.

I'd still be sitting in my deck chair if it wasn't for you. What are you having?

I'll have a bottle of beer, please, and I'll get this little one sat down.

He actually followed you to work?

Oh, yeah. He was hiding behind the stalls and everything.

-It was so funny.

-That is, like, full-on stalker.

Yeah, I know! I can't believe I've got a stalker - it's great!

I don't think you're meant to look so happy about it.

It's all right if I join you, ain't it?

Shut up.

I frog-marched her down there,

and then I'm not allowed an opinion cos I'm biased.

Just ended up rowing all day. She's going to go to Liverpool, I'm telling you...

Just buy her some chocolates.

It's uni, Phil. It's a bit more than a few sweets.

You... You had any calls?

Just heard from Lola. The police haven't told Ian.

So looks like I ain't a suspect, doesn't it?

-There he is! What are you hiding?!

-What?

Don't come the innocent with me! What are you hiding?

Billy, you do not keep quiet about something like this -

-why were you fighting with my little girl?

-Let's take this somewhere else.

No! He's had plenty of time to get his story straight. Now why were you fighting with her?

-I didn't hide anything, I swear!

-I bet you've got her purse and her phone, haven't you?

-Now come on, turn out your pockets!

-This ain't the place, Ian!

-Turn out your pockets!

ALL SHOUT

-Any mustard, please?

-Yep, yep, two secs mate, two secs.

Here you go, fellas.

That's the right order, yeah?

Here you go, ladies, here you go.

You asked me to help you earlier. Not run the place on my own.

Yeah, give me a sec.

Was that mustard, mate, yeah? Mustard?

Clean out of mustard, I'm afraid, mate.

Plenty of herbs, though.

See, me and that man. We was just messing about. Being silly.

We'll be laughing about it tomorrow, best mates again.

Yeah? And don't think I've forgotten about your chips.

As soon as I've sorted this all out, we're straight round McKlunkys, OK?

All right, I'll see you in a bit.

-I'll be back for her in a bit.

-Yeah, fine.

Just need to find Peter.

Whit, you know that I would never...

Yeah...

Just get it sorted, Billy, yeah?

Yeah.

Right, I think I've got some oven chips in the freezer... Yeah?

Come on, then...quick!

Come on, then, you go with Whitney. See you in a bit.

-Right, I'm off.

-Don't you want to know the secret to winning over Whitney?

I'm more worried about all the green you got stuffed behind the microwave.

Please don't tell no-one. Tosh don't even know.

-Without it we can't have a baby, right, so...

-What, the baby that skunk built?

It ain't skunk. It's just normals. Lee, please.

Tosh is desperate for a baby.

Either way, you could still do a bird for it, Teen.

Not much use to the kid in there, are ya?

It's temporary, all right. Just to raise the money. Please don't tell no-one.

Of course not, you nutter.

But just doing it here - what if a punter grasses you up?

You're taking a massive risk.

I'm being careful, all right. Just a few more weeks, and then I'm done.

All right, it's your life.

Do you know what? I've grafted for it - I might as well find out.

What's this big secret?

-Oh, er, no, you won't want to know.

-No, go on, try me.

Well, usually I just get my boobs out.

They're pretty banging so it normally does the trick.

Soz.

-Watch yourself.

-Sorry, sorry...

It's going to get you, it's going to get you.

You all right, babe?

All right, just been walking round.

I knew that Jake wasn't guilty.

Listen, Lo,

I'm sorry I've been so horrible lately. It's just...

it's just the stress of it, you know?

-It's just been so much...

-Come here. It's all right... It's OK...

Peter, mate, I wanted to tell you myself...

-No, no...

-Whatever they've said, it wasn't like that, OK...

Whatever who said?

Cheers.

Special occasion?

-An apology.

-Aren't these the cheapest box?

They're the second cheapest.

Oh, Ian's not answering.

Well, go find him. I can manage here.

Denise? I've just seen Ian heading down towards Billy's. He ain't happy.

Ah, thank you.

Cheers.

-Peter, try to calm down.

-Why should I calm down?

-It's Peter, he's going to kill him! I need your help!

-Peter...Please!

-Peter! Leave it!

Every day! Every breakfast. Every dinner. You said nothing!

Leave it! Leave it! Now we will deal with this.

But we will not deal with it like this, OK? Do you understand me?

I shouldn't have done what I did in the Vic, all right?

That's not the way to get the truth out of someone.

Now that we are calm, and rational...

..you're going to sit down and explain yourself to me. OK.

What kind of surprise?

A proper one.

Now, I don't know why you binned it.

As soon as I saw it, I thought, "I've got to put that up."

Pride of place in my kitchen so that every morning I can see

my beautiful wife smiling down at me while I finish off my fried slice.

GIGGLING

-You sure about this?

-I just want to forget about today.

Look, I, um...

I know it doesn't make it right, but...

..things have been really tough lately.

And a couple of bits of fish every week...

Well, it didn't exactly make us flush, but it didn't half help.

Anyway, I tried to explain this to Lucy but...

..she was disgusted with me.

Called me a thief.

She said you only gave me that job out of pity...

Look, I know I should have told the police...

..but I was ashamed.

I was ashamed that her last hours were spent shouting at me.

Maybe if she hadn't had been so angry...

I was scared, Ian.

It looks bad, don't it?

But you got to believe me, Ian.

As a dad, I couldn't do that.

Not for a couple of bits of fish, Ian.

Not for a part-time job.

Did you know?

Please, Ian. You've got to believe me.

You won't ever rob from me again?

No. No, never.

Then I'll expect to see you at work tomorrow.

What about the other thing?

I made a decision about Jake and I was wrong.

Now I can't say whether I believe you or not.

I can't make decisions any more.

So that's for the police.

Come here...

It's all starting again, isn't it?

Come on, darling.

It'll be all right, I mean, Abi ain't back for another hour.

Yeah, but there's no need to take risks, is there?

-Can I get a glass of water?

-Ah, yeah, of course.

-Thank you.

Right. Bye. I'll see you later.

-I'll call you.

-See you later.

SPADE HITS EARTH
