Phil.

Look... It's not what you're thinking.

-You don't know what I'm thinking.

-I'm dealing with it, OK?

Listen to me, all right,

this is going to be healthier for everyone if we sort this out.

Because this is going to go one of two ways -

either I find out what it is, or the Old Bill do.

All right.

Phil, I've made a terrible mistake.

I thought we could all do with a cup of tea.

We got any biscuits? I didn't have any breakfast.

Let me do you something proper. Cheese on toast?

-No, it's all right, these'll do.

-Phil, Ian? Cheese on toast?

How the hell did Cora find out?

I don't know, do I? She must've seen something.

It doesn't matter.

-Well. I suppose if you're not getting the full valet at home...

-You what?

Mistake you made was getting caught. And you told Linda?

-She knows the truth.

-Explains a lot.

Just stop talking, will you? I've told you what happened.

So, just keep that shut.

Sorted? Has he spoken to Cora?

Yeah, you know what he's like...

What have you done?

I told him it was the truth.

So...have you packed your bags?

Or are you going to stand by your man?

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Speaking.

Oh...

What, today? What time?

I'm so sorry.

I've had such a busy day and it just completely went out of my head.

You've been really brave today, Peter. I know when Dennis died, I...

DENISE CONTINUES TALKING

I'm so sorry.

I completely forgot I've got an appointment with Patrick's doctor today.

Ian?

Ian...

What you doing here?

Making a vol-au-vent. What's it look like?

Oh, all right, Ian!

How, er...

How did it go?

Yeah, all right - you know.

-When's it going to be on telly, then?

-Right, off you go.

-I'm having lunch!

-Well, go and have it then. Go on.

Well?

The night...

The night Lucy went missing, I was...

I was with a prostitute.

Patrick's doctor's going to fit me in this afternoon.

Phil ain't answering.

They've probably just gone somewhere to talk.

Phil's been good like that.

I'll wait for Ian.

He was supposed to be coming with me.

I dunno where he's gone.

So... Cindy was telling the truth?

You weren't at the restaurant that night?

Does Denise know about this?

Do you think she'd still be with me?

So what exactly are you sweating about?

It's...got messy. And Mick's involved now and...

That's not even the bad bit.

PHONE RINGS

It's Denise - I'd better take that.

PANS CLATTER LOUDLY

-L...

-Why'd you tell him it was true?!

Because he kept asking and he kept pushing me

and to be honest with you, I just wanted to shut his mouth.

-I don't get it.

-Listen, he just keeps picking at scabs until they bleed.

No, I mean, I don't get why we're still doing this. For Ian Beale?

-Because...it's the right thing to do.

-Lying?

We just front it out. We fall off the bike, we get back on it.

Well, if you don't get on the bike in the first place...

L, L, please, I can't do this without you...

-I just, I can't...

-Just for me.

Forget about the old man.

We'll get this drinks promo thing right, it'll blow over. I promise.

-Someone needs to take Lady Di for a walk!

-I'll go...

I'm going this way actually...

I'd...

I'd fallen out with Lucy.

Me and Denise, we were...

..and the one person who I thought would understand was with Masood.

Right. And?

I don't know what I was thinking.

No, actually, that's a lie.

I do know what I was thinking. I was thinking, "Stuff the lot of you."

So I thought I'd just get in the car and just drive.

Right.

Open road in front of me.

And I chose the A12.

And that's where I pulled over.

And?

It was Tanya's sister...

..Rainie.

Hello, girls.

Two for one, tonight, in the Vic, all right?

Make sure you're there. Don't be shy.

Here you go, sunshine. You out tonight? You're looking well...

There you go... two for one at the Vic.

Two for one at the Vic, Les?

-Two drinks for the price of one.

-Pam...

-Yes?

Can we do something here? Can we help out?

Oh, yeah. Yes. Linda...give me a load.

-I can give one out with every bouquet.

-Oh, bless you, darling. Thank you.

You're welcome. You all right?

Yeah.

Oh, you good girl.

And, for the record, we don't hold with gossip.

Thank you.

Salmon hanging out of your mouth...

I'll just wait for you in the cafe, yeah?

-Can I give you a piece of advice?

-No.

When a man isn't being properly serviced by his missus...

What! How dare you?!

If you actually care about this family, give these out.

I'll rephrase that - don't bother coming back until you have.

There you go, my little darling. I'm just going to plot them now, OK?

Two for one in the Vic tonight. If you do...

Oi, Fats, oi. What, you blanking me?

What? Me? No, man! No, why would I?

I dunno, you tell me. I mean, you just walked past me.

-No, no, I was in my own world...

-Well, all it is, I just didn't want you to miss out

on a blinding night at The Vic tonight. So it's two for one...here...

-All right. Nice, I'll be there.

-See you in there.

-Thanks.

-All right, good man.

-Fats.

-What's going on?

Marie, can I get a bacon roll, please?

-Course you can.

-Thank you. Mick, you all right?

Yeah, I'm sweet as. Why wouldn't I be?

-No reason.

-Listen, two for one in the Vic tonight.

Couldn't do me a favour and slip a few of these to your little pals, could you?

-Yeah...Yeah, don't see why not.

-Yeah.

-Mick. What's this about free drinks in the Vic?

-Lead the way, Bill... Good man.

See you later.

Stranger! How long you been here?

Well, this is my fourth coffee.

It's actually making me feel quite dizzy.

-Why don't you drink something else then?

-I'm too stressed.

What, from doing nothing?!

I can't believe you just said that. Jay, our lives are in limbo until I get my results.

So I don't know about you, but, yeah, I'm actually finding it quite a struggle.

Well, why don't we go over the Vic tonight, then?

What, that's your solution? The Vic?

Just thinking it'll take your mind off it.

Plus, since I've got these...

Get some practice in, ready for the student life.

You know what, it wasn't even about the sex.

I just thought it was a moment in my life when I could take control...

It was...

It was definitely Rainie?

Yep.

She saw me, she came over to the car and we, we were just talking.

-Next minute, she was in the car.

-She... She still using?

I dunno. Phil, it was only the once.

Yeah...yeah, probably, seeing as she's...

Ugh.

What...?

-She's blackmailing me!

-She's what?

She's threatening to go to the police and tell them

I was with her, and not at the restaurant, the night Lucy died.

I know!

I'm an idiot.

The police find that out, they'll wonder what else I'm hiding,

and then there's Denise...

I mean, I can't even think about that.

So, Mick knows you've seen her - who else?

No-one. Yet. Well, Patrick.

But he's... He's had a stroke, he can't talk.

So what you going to do?

I don't know.

I just need this to go away.

Yeah.

Yeah, you do.

Scissor cut, but the machine finish gives it an edge. Lovely.

You can settle up with Verona over here...

All right, Grandad?

Hoxton Fin, is it?

-You what?

-Never mind. So who died, then?

Well, it'll be me if I don't put my feet up for a minute.

-Er - I've got a booking.

-And I've got a bunion, but that don't stop Linda.

Making me give all these out before I can come home.

-You what?

-Where's your bin?

What they giving these out for? Bit desperate, isn't it?

No-one's coming to the Vic. Not since Cora's little outburst.

It's not true though, is it?

Is it?

I'm sworn to secrecy.

You're joking!

Sorry, love, take a seat. Right, up, you.

You didn't hear it from me, all right?

It was Linda that asked you to give these out?

There you are!

The others have just popped out.

I said I'd wait.

Yeah, I just needed to get some air.

Everything all right?

Yeah, I was... Where's Denise?

-Hospital.

-Oh!

Shall we...?

No. We're not leaving him on his own.

Dad, don't let them grind you down.

I've given them all out, like you said.

Oh, you all right?

I need a drink. All that pounding the streets.

Stout'll do.

L, go and get the old boy a bottle of water, please.

There's a tap upstairs. Mick, get your dad out of my sight.

Nance. Go and get rid of him.

Come on, old man.

Hello, Grandad.

Sweetcorn, broccoli, raw vegetables.

Brought back up with me.

You're a top man. What you having?

We'll get a couple of bottles of vino blanco, please.

-Thanks.

-Nah, you're welcome. Any time you need me, I'm there.

Seeing her there on the screen, just walking around like normal.

I mean, she had no idea what was about to happen...

Should we go somewhere?

You know, it's not good just to sit around all day.

We could go for a drink. Or anything you want to do.

No, I just want a quiet one.

It's early. Everywhere's going to be empty. And it'll be good for you.

Come on, just me and you...

Right, I'll get these in then...

Told you it'd be all right.

Oh, clear them empties, Nance. We need some highballs.

Yeah, that's really mature.

-Shut up.

-Oi. Oi. Behave.

So, you all enjoying your night?

I am now.

Give it a rest.

Sorry, I didn't realise it'd be so packed...

Come on, we can just go if you want.

Oh, we're here now.

-All right, mate.

-All right, mate.

-How'd it go?

Yeah, surreal. Right circus.

Yeah. Do you want some drinks?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, pint please, mate.

-Yeah.

Where'd you go this morning? I turned round to look for you but...

Yeah, I know.

I dunno, I thought maybe you wanted to be with just your family.

-It is so obvious now. He's doing it again!

-What is?

-Dean. He keeps looking at Lauren.

-No, he doesn't.

-Oh, seriously?

-Yeah, he's into you, he really is.

-No, he's not!

-Oh, shut up, Lauren, he so is!

Ah, is it, Lauren?

-Just ignore them.

-I'll tell you what, right.

I'm going to count to ten, and if he looks over here, then Whit is so right.

-And...you have to go and chat him up!

-What?

One,

two,

three...

THEY SCREAM

-I told you!

-Well, go on, then, Lauren. He's waiting.

-Get your coat...you've pulled.

-Yeah, I think you should totally go for it, you know.

-What do you think, Peter?

-I can't do this.

Just after today. I think I'm just going to head.

Peter, I'm so sorry, I didn't think.

Yeah, I'm sorry too.

Yeah, well, it's not your fault. I just reckon I should be with my dad.

Peter! Pete! What was that?

I told you I wanted a quiet one.

All right, look.

The kids are out, all right? Pops ain't there, it's just going to be quiet.

Just come home and it's going to be... Peter, what's wrong with you?

What do you think?

Go on!

-Hey.

-Whassup?

Whassup...!

See...it's all right, ain't it?

Sorry I doubted you.

On-off on-off.

These two are like a couple of teenagers.

-That has put me off my crisps.

-Oi!

-Right. That's us.

-You off?

News is on in a minute. And we want to pay our respects, you know, to Ian.

Course! The appeal.

Don't... Er...why don't you... watch it here?

Oh.

Are you sure?

Yeah! Yeah, we could bring the TV down - couldn't we, Mick?

-Like when we watched the market protest.

-Mum, don't you think it's a bit...?

-Well, I mean, if you don't mind.

-No, course we don't... No, it'll be good...

I dunno, L, I dunno if this feels right, you know.

What, and an empty pub does?

No, it'll be good to support Ian. As a community.

Won't it, Mick?

Well, that's very thoughtful of you. Same again then, Mick.

Right, all I need is a strong pair of hands.

You looking for me?

I meant to say, what you're doing for Ian...

What about it?

I'm proud of you.

Yeah?

Yeah, really, you surprise me. I'm proud.

How proud?

PHONE RINGS

Oops...

Look, I've told you before I don't have PPI insurance. Thank you.

Can you believe that?

Right, you take that...

You got it?

Yeah. Told you things'd be all right, didn't I?

It's buzzing down there.

You got the cables?

Grandad told me. About Mick.

What he did is true...

Why does that not surprise me?

If it is...he doesn't deserve you.

-He does.

-What, treating you like that?

A woman like you deserves to be appreciated.

-I don't know what you're playing at but...

-Everything all right?

-Yep.

It's just the old... the old time's ticking.

Yeah, well, it's a good job you came, then, ain't it.

Anyway, thanks, for everything.

You know where we are, yeah?

-Yeah, I do.

-OK.

Right, I'm just going to go and check on the Albert. You go ahead.

You seen this?

They're going to nick half our trade.

-Jay, I don't feel right.

-Good. Then my work here is done.

Next stop uni, eh! There you go...

-Are you drunk?

-No!

-Abs, you are hilarious.

-Oi, you do know Dean's my cousin, don't you?

-Yeah, so? He's not my boyfriend.

-Who's not?

-That's enough, darling, come here, baby, let's leave it.

-What did she say to you?

-Nothing.

Go and stand next to your brother.

Yeah, Mum...

Right! Ladies and gents!

I know a lot of us are thinking of Ian and his family tonight

and some of you want to get back to catch the news.

So Mick and me... We'd like to invite those of you that want to stay to...

support Ian as a community.

'..Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward.

'At a press conference earlier this week,

'her father, Ian Beale, made this plea.'

Lucy was my little girl.

She had her whole life in front of her.

She would have fallen in love.

Got married.

Had kids.

I told Lucy....

What are those three little words you have to say to me?

I love you?

"You were right."

'..CCTV footage from the bus has been released by police,

'in the hope that it might prompt new information to come to light.'

Do you think it could be one of them?

-Jay?

-What...?

-Well, what do you think?

-About what?

Although cocaine was found in Miss Beale's home,

police have not confirmed whether the murder was drug related.

-You all right, Bill?

-Yeah! Never realised she was on the gear.

What's this? What is this? This pub entertainment, is it?!

Watching a man grieve over his dead daughter?!

-No! No, Phil, we want to support Ian.

-Just switch it off, all right?

You want to watch this, go home and watch it.

Go on, go home, out, the lot of you... Sling your hooks!

Go on, out! Should be ashamed of yourselves.

-Yeah, we were going anyway.

-What are you going on about?

Sitting here drinkin', watching Ian crying his eyes out?

-Well, I hope you made plenty of money.

-Pipe down, Phil, you're out of order.

What, you going to take the moral high ground, are you?

-The man with a soft spot for brasses?

-I said pipe down!

-Yeah?

-Yeah, you've chucked your two bob's worth in. Now get out!

Don't push me, Phil.

Phil!

Giving out half-price drinks, then showing that like entertainment.

-It's sick.

-Yeah, I know. But I'm sure they didn't mean anything by it.

Look, why don't you go home, run us a nice bath?

Then I'll pop to the Albert and come and join you in a bit.

-All right.

-All right, sweet.

What was that?

Oh, my God, that was mental!

You know what, I've always said it -

put a cowboy hat on Phil Mitchell and you have got John Wayne.

So what are yous lot on now?

Probably just call it a day, yeah.

-Yeah, me too. Jay?

-Sorry, what?

I'll catch you up, yeah?

All right.

What is it, Jay?

Nothing.

Well, you just seem a bit...a bit...

I dunno, just a bit...

I'm all right.

It's just you going off to uni and that, you know.

Jay, I don't even know if I've got in yet.

And we're not going to stop seeing each other.

We'll make it work, yeah. So you don't need to worry.

-You all right?

-Sorry. Yeah, sorry.

Lauren!

You all right?

Sorry about the phone call, I've been with Phil all day.

Oh. Any threatening behaviour I need to know about?

What? No, no, no. He's been brilliant.

We've been helping a friend.

So, do you still want to go ahead?

Absolutely.

Right. Well, if you'd like to look at the amended spreadsheet...

Shall we take this over to Ian's? He might want it.

What? He takes priority in this family now, doesn't he?

-Of course he doesn't.

-Oh, really?

Then why have I been humiliating myself all day to protect him?

-I know it isn't easy, but we've got to...

-Ride it out?

Did we actually make any profit tonight?

Did you not just watch him on the telly? I can't do this to him. It'll ruin him.

-Oh, but you don't mind ruining your own family?!

-Mum, the punters!

What punters? There are no punters! Your dad's seen them off!

Oi, what's happened now?

Ask your dad! No, no, actually don't.

I can't listen to any more. I've got an 'eadache.

Take it somewhere else. Go on, clear off, the lot of you.

I just don't get why you keep arguing...

Oh, there it is.

I've missed half the athletics.

Just don't worry, it's between me and your mum, all right?

She's got the decorators in...

Filth! She's finding it hard.

She's an incredible woman and people are thinking less of her cos of this, you know, this lie...

It is actually a lie, isn't it, Pop?

Don't you start.

Lies break families, Mick. Mine did.

So don't.

PHONE RINGS

Look, I'm really sorry.

About earlier.

-I was bang out of order.

-Least of my problems.

So you forgive me?

I forgive you.

Mick is a lucky, lucky man.

It's chucking out time, I'm afraid.
