19/11/2015 EastEnders

What, are you trying to kill me?

How could I?

When I don't have the bottle. Remember?

Go on, Dean.

Go on, drink up.

You're mad.

-You're certifiably mad, you know that?

-No, I'll tell you what's mad.

A world where a rapist gets away with it. That's mad.

What would you say if I told you

that Dean was in trouble with Ronnie?

I'd say, "so what?"

What if I said that she was planning to kill him?

ROXY SIGHS

Dean, it's me, where are you? It's five past.

No Ronnie either.

Just, um...call me when you get this, yeah?

-BUSTER:

-Between me and you, Trace, I ain't one for parties.

Much rather be on the stall.

But it means a lot to Shirl, so...

got to do your bit, ain't ya?

Yeah.

Shirley about?

She's upstairs. Why?

Do you know if she got my message?

What message?

About Dean being in trouble with Ronnie?

Only I've just seen him going in her house.

He's in there with her now.

What have you got yourself involved in now?

Nothing.

Nothing. He's over at her gaff now!

So why aren't you doing something?

All right?

Hello, birthday boy. Up the Hammers!

Hey! Where is everyone?

Where they always are at parties - in the kitchen!

Lee's here, everyone. Come on!

Mick, I'm going to Ronnie's to get Lee's present.

Don't worry about it, I'll do it.

On my life, you stay here.

Shirl?

Nah, you're all right.

-Shirl upstairs?

-Yeah.

-Did Mick just come down here?

-Did you get that message from Billy?

-No.

-Dean's in trouble with Ronnie. He's over there now apparently.

-What?!

What did Billy mean "in trouble"?

-I don't know, he was gone before I could ask.

-Mick!

Go back in the boozer, I told you, I'm going to get Lee's present.

Something's happened to Dean. I need to know he's all right.

-BANGING ON DOOR

-What do you know? A witness.

If I were going to kill you... you'd be dead by now.

BANGING ON DOOR

I think someone should let them in, don't you?

Dean with you, yeah?

-Yeah, it's not really a good time right now, to be honest.

-Tough.

Oi, Shirley!

-Mum?

-What's happened?

This psycho's tried to poison me.

-Are you all right?

-Yeah, I think so.

-Well, what's in it?

-I don't know, she said tranquillisers.

What have you done?

-Dean, how much have you drank?

-Er...just a sip.

Ronnie...why?!

Why do you think?

What, are you telling me you don't know?

The police weren't going to do anything, all right,

so it's about time somebody taught him a lesson.

-So what's in it, nutjob?

-He was only ever supposed to fall asleep.

And then what?

-And then what?!

-I don't know!

All right, but dying is an easy option for him,

-because he is a rapist.

-Jeez...

One, he is not a rapist! And two...

That's enough, that's enough, just... Just wait here.

Ron...

here, now.

Well, the good news is, I picked up Lee's parcel.

Every cloud...

What are you doing?

I wanted to scare him. I wanted him gone.

And to be honest, I thought you'd be on my side.

-He's marrying my sister!

-He hasn't done anything to her!

Yeah, but it's only a matter of time.

How did you think you was going to get away with this?

To be honest, you're confusing me with someone who gives a damn.

Use your nut. Calm down. Calm down!

Do you want to go to the police?

No. Have all that old stuff dragged up again? No, no.

What's this really about, Dean?

Eh?

She's jealous.

She wants Roxy all to herself. I could have been anyone.

All right.

We've had a chat.

Oh, just say sorry and I'll shoot off.

The only thing I'm sorry about is the fact that they came in,

and they spoiled everything.

Ronnie, what has my son ever done to you?

Oh! It's not about what he's done to ME, Shirley!

Tell her, Mick.

Here we go again.

Since when have you been fighting his battles?

Since he moved in with her sister.

That's exactly what I was just telling you.

I don't want him doing to Roxy what he did to Linda,

-and God knows who else.

-Like I said, this woman is crazy.

Crazy? You think I'm crazy?

Why do you think that is, Dean?

Do you know what rape does to a person?

Do you have any idea?

Do you even know what the word means?

It never goes away.

Tears you up from the inside, it takes away your self-respect.

You end up feeling cheap.

In fact, you hate yourself.

That is what rape does to you, Dean, OK?!

-That is what rape does to you, do you understand me?!

-Ronnie!

Listen to me, he's not Dad!

-OK?

-RONNIE SIGHS

Dean is not Dad.

OK, look at me.

Look at me!

Dean's not Dad, OK?

Come here, come here, come here. It's all right.

It's all right.

Shh-shh-shh...

Course I can get you in, all right, I am the DJ.

Just say my name at the door.

Oh, brilliant, thanks.

-So you and him?

-Yeah, there is no me and him.

-But I thought that...

-Well, you thought wrong.

Has something happened?

I'm your brother.

We tell each other everything...

-It was a one-night stand. That is all there is to it.

-Mm-hmm?

Don't ask any more, all right? It's too embarrassing.

What do you mean, it's too embarrassing?

Work that out for yourself.

Has he hurt you?

I'm not going into details.

Listen, I will see you girls Friday, OK? All right, awesome.

Hey! You all right?

Um...

You know what, actually, what I'm going to... What I'm going to do

is I'm going to go dig out that '80s vinyl

before I've got to go back to work.

So I'm going to catch you guys later, sorry.

-Later on, later on.

-What a waste, man.

Leave it, Vincent. Please.

Um... Do you not want a plate with that, Les?

Er... No, no, it's all right, I just popped out for 10 minutes.

Besides, I think they taste better out of the paper, you know?

Um... Les...

Yeah?

As a totally uninteresting observer...

Do you think I'm stupid?

Well, you know that me and Billy...

Well, we're sort of...

Sort of...?

Kind of...

-How's "sort of" different from "kind of"?

-Oh...

Look, I love Billy. I always have.

I'm not saying I don't. It's just that....

-What?

-It's all happening so fast.

What is?

OK, this is kind of embarrassing, but, um...

Afterwards...

He was so grateful.

I sort of found myself saying things I didn't really mean.

Like what?

Well, like I'd... move back in with him.

And then later realised that wasn't such a good idea,

given the various things that have happened to us in the past.

Go on.

So then I sort of said to him

what I meant was that I'd move closer by, rather than with him.

Well, his face after I told him that...

I just felt really guilty, you know?

And besides, I can't afford a deposit on my own.

So would it be really stupid if I said to him that I changed my mind

and I WILL move back in with him?

Well, is that what you want?

Watcha!

-Hey.

-You all right?

-Right, well, I think it's best you lot go, yeah?

-No way.

She needs looking after.

Too right, she does.

Look, nobody came to any harm, did they?

Go on, destroy the evidence.

Well, we should just leave them to it.

Yeah let's just let her get away with it(!)

What?! You did hear her, didn't you?

-Do you think she got away with it, do you?

-I'm going.

Ronnie...

I'm really sorry about what happened with your dad.

But you stay away from my son.

Are you coming, Dean?

Rox?

No, I'm staying here.

I'm going to stay as well.

All right. Love ya.

So she's not...buying you out of the house, is she?

-RONNIE SIGHS

-Dean, Dean...

Listen, Ron...

What you said about going to counselling - did you mean it?

Counselling. Counselling could be a good idea.

Dean, I'm talking to my sister, please...

Who just tried to poison me, so...

It's help that she needs, all right? Help, not blame!

What you said about Dad...

I don't want to talk about it, not in front of him.

Yeah, but that's the problem,

I mean, you've never really spoken about it, have you?

Where's Matthew?

-He's at nursery.

-OK.

All right, well, then, we're going to talk about it now.

I've told you, Roxy.

For the last time, no.

-Come on, babe. You're wasting your time.

-Ronnie...

-I'm worried about you.

-RONNIE SCOFFS

Look, I've had enough of this.

Are you coming with me, or are you going to stay with her?

She's all yours, Dean.

Congratulations, you've won.

Right, well, I'll check in on you later, then, make sure you're OK.

SHE SIGHS

When did you leave that message?

When I was waiting at the restaurant.

She must have put my phone on silent.

Crazy cow!

-You got a minute?

-Yeah, I guess.

I was just sorting out that, er...vinyl.

I hope you look smarter than that when you turn up for the gig.

You ain't joking!

FATBOY CHUCKLES Yeah, there's, um...

There's spiders and all sorts in there, man. Yeah...

You know, and I'm really not good with small spaces.

Well, don't let me keep you.

How about I make us a brew?

Will, can you go and wash your hands, please?

We're eating in two minutes.

-But this ain't finished yet.

-Now, please.

You all right, Billy?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

What I said about us being near, but...

not so near - you're not upset about it, are you?

Personally, I think it might be the way to go, you know?

For what it's worth.

How about this one? Look, High Street.

Above the Chinese chippy, two bedrooms.

I'm not having Will and Janet live above a chip shop.

Well, you might have to lower your expectations a bit, you know.

This is London, remember.

Did you have that chat with Ronnie?

She was busy.

Do you know what, um...

Maybe me and the kids should go back to Broadstairs for a bit.

No, no, no. You don't have to do that.

I'll go back to Ronnie.

If I don't get any joy from her, I'll go and see Phil,

or I'll rob a bank or something.

Please, babe, please.

We're just about to have lunch!

-DOOR SLAMS

-I hope he doesn't rob a bank!

Then where will we be?

But you don't want to move back here.

So did you sort everything out?

It's fine. I'll tell you later.

-I'm sorry it's not wrapped properly.

-That's all right, thanks!

You got the scissors, babe?

Do you know what it is yet?

Can't remember the last time I saw him this happy.

-Oh, wow!

-What is it?

It's a fishing rod!

Buster's idea. He's the fisherman.

How do you think I get all the fish for the stall?

THEY LAUGH

You could catch a 20 lb carp with that.

That's the nuts, thanks! Thanks, mate.

-Going to put it together, then?

-LINDA: Oh, no, not in here!

-You'll have someone's eye out. Do it later.

-Spoilsport!

I didn't know you fished.

-I do now.

-SHIRLEY:

-Buster can teach you.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

I'll take you down Walthamstow reservoir.

We'll make a day of it, eh?

Yeah, all right, that sounds good.

MICK: You've had a touch, Whit. You'll never see him again!

THEY LAUGH

-LINDA:

-Oh, go and get us another bottle of bubbly, Mick, will you?

Yeah, sure.

How you feeling?

Well, something doesn't quite add up.

I mean, you said that Billy told you.

But then, how did Billy know?

Well, I'm in the bar, when he comes running in.

He says, "Did Shirley get the message?"

I say, "What message?"

He says, "Dean's in trouble with Ronnie."

Then he runs out again.

So how comes Mick was so eager to get over there?

I know my fish, Shirl.

This smells of fish.

Don't think I can't see what you're doing.

Trying to worm your way back in.

Won't work.

Here we go, have some of this.

There we go. Want some of this, Shirl?

No.

Cheers(!)

Cheers.

Buster, what are you doing?

We need to call Billy Mitchell.

You got his number?

Thought I'd pop round, you know.

Check you were OK.

I'm not stupid, Billy.

What, are you on the scrounge again?

Well... I did clear out the salon for you.

That didn't exactly go to plan, did it?

No, but, you know...

one good turn deserves another, and all that.

SHE SIGHS

What have I said now?

Come on, don't be upset.

What happened to being a Mitchell, eh?

-I tried. But it didn't work.

-Look, let's just...

forget about the money, all right?

It was just a thought. It weren't even for me.

What do you mean?

Well, Honey and the kids want to move back to Walford.

Only she ain't got the deposit.

Well...what's to stop her moving in with you?

Well, we're not quite ready for that.

Besides, my flat is a bit of a dump, ain't it?

Whereas if she had a place round the corner... Oh...

-PHONE RINGS

-Sorry.

Hello?

You had a message that was supposed to be passed on to me?

Yeah, now's not really a good time.

Something to do with Dean being in trouble with Ronnie.

It's a bit difficult.

Who was supposed to pass on the message?

No, no, no, it's all sorted.

Just answer the question, Billy.

Mick.

When was this?

This morning.

When you and Lee was in the back of his motor.

Shirl?

Right.

That's all I needed to know.

Shirl?

I was there.

And?

I was waiting in the car.

When Billy told Mick about what Ronnie was up to.

And he didn't say anything?

Sorry about that.

Can I get you anything?

-I've been thinking. You say Honey needs somewhere close by?

-Yeah.

Well, how do you think she'd feel

about moving in here with me and Matthew?

Her and the kids.

I don't think it's doing me any good living here by myself.

Yeah, but...

I don't think she'd be able to afford the rent

-on a place like this.

-We're Mitchells, Billy.

We look out for one another.

So, um...

Explain Allah to me.

You've never been reading that Koran I gave you?

I certainly have, a little bit.

Go on!

I've got work in five minutes.

Which is plenty of time. So what do you want to know?

OK, so...

Obviously Allah is just another word for God, right?

Definitely.

As far as you're concerned,

is that the same as the Christian God, or different?

It's tricky.

In principle, yes.

In practice, not really.

But it depends who you talk to.

OK.

And God...

Does He...

Oh... I say "He." Is it "He"?

Does He shave?

-God has a beard. Everyone knows that.

-Yeah, yeah.

But He's unknowable right?

Oh... HE'S unknowable?

-Allah's unknowable.

-Yes.

Does He make decisions?

What do you mean, decisions?

Er, when did He come up with all the rules?

Like you know, when you're supposed to pray,

what you're supposed to wear, what you're supposed to eat.

Like, when did all that become important?

HE SIGHS

Dad always says it's about discipline.

Mm.

You're never going to find God unless you try.

And in order to try, you need discipline,

so that's what the rules are for.

Yeah, but, weren't the rules revealed to Muhammad?

But the question is, do they work?

And there's over a billion and a half Muslims who'd say yes, they do.

Hmm...

-But you're not impressed, I take it?

-No...

All right, there's a part of me that has...

always found all religion ridiculous.

But...

then there's also a part of me that is...

really...

drawn to it.

Mm.

Does that make me...crazy?

No crazier than me.

-HE SIGHS

-Oh!

Final question.

Now, why would God invent pigs if we weren't supposed to eat bacon?

Surely that's just really mean.

I'm not sure you're taking this altogether seriously.

Sorry.

I always make jokes when I'm scared.

What are you scared of?

-What are you two doing down there.

-Two seconds, Pops.

-Come on, then.

Go on - what are you scared of?

Can you really not work it out?

Right, everybody, can we all grab a drink and get in there, please?

-NANCY:

-Coming!

-Come to think of it, he was in a funny mood all morning.

Well, there we go.

We had a long chat about Dean in the shop.

He could've said something then.

How much more proof do we need?

-But why?

-Why?

We know why, don't we?

Come on, guys. Mick's about to make a speech.

FATBOY: Tears for Fears?

Maybe.

Barry Manilow?

-VINCENT CHUCKLES

-You jest.

-Eddie Grant?

-Now you're talking.

All right, well, you know, that should be enough for now.

Um...I'll go through the rest later and I'll draw up a set list, yeah?

Sounds like a plan.

So...

Was there... Was there something else?

Actually, yeah.

You have a problem with my sister, apparently.

-I... I don't know what you're talking about, bro.

-I think you do.

-No, man. Why? What's she said?

-Ah, you see, no, no, no.

I'm not here on her behalf. She has no idea.

-It's me you've upset.

-What? How?

Do you like her?

Yeah. Yeah, sure...

Just not in a proper relationship-type sense, yeah?

Listen, all right? I...

-I was trying to be respectful.

-Respectful?

How do you think that made her feel?

-I... I don't...

-You don't know? Don't know?

You haven't thought about it?

Well, think about it now, then.

Come on!

I'm waiting.

You thought about it yet?

Yeah, I don't think you have.

Listen, er, you're, um...

CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY You're kind of scaring me now.

See, when I see someone, someone who should know better,

treat somebody else like dirt on the account of the way they are...

it makes me wonder, you know?

Maybe they need to be taught a lesson.

You feel me?

But what type of lesson?

A thinking lesson.

In a place with, er...

..no distractions.

That'll do.

You are joking, innit?

In you go.

Listen, I... I already told you, I'm not...good with confined...

See, that's the thing, though, Fats, innit?

You're not really good at all, are you?

Listen, you... You know what, I've got to get back to the car lot.

DON'T make me tell you twice.

-Seriously, um...

-LAUGHTER

I cannot remember the last time there were so many members

of the Carter family in the same room!

I've got to say, it's a beautiful thing, innit?

LAUGHTER

Eh? Yeah, I'm looking at you.

My future mother-in-law.

Give us a smile - whack one out there!

-CHUCKLING

-Go on! There we go.

Aunt Babe? You got one for me? Here we go... Oh!

-LAUGHTER

-See? It's doable, innit?

It's nasty being nasty, and it's nice to be nice, no?

-And finally, I just...

-Hurrah!

-Hey!

-LAUGHTER

-Turn it in.

I think we should all actually raise our glasses...

Er, just a sec.

One question, Mick.

Was it nice when you left Dean to die?

Your own brother. We know what you did, Mick.

You lot don't know this, but that crazy woman over the road,

Ronnie Mitchell, has been planning to bump off our son Dean.

What are you talking about?

She weren't going to kill him.

-To be fair, I don't know what she was going to do.

-Oh...

That makes it all right, does it?

You knew what was going on,

only you chose to sit on your backside and do nothing.

Well...

Didn't want to worry anyone.

Oh, so you would've let him die! Wouldn't you?

After what he did?

And the fact that he disgusts me?

If he was six feet under...

I wouldn't lose one wink of sleep.

Why can you STILL not see that, Mum?

"Mum"?! You call me Mum?!

I used to have two sons.

Now I know I've only got one.

Let's go, Buster.

-LINDA SIGHS

-You're bleeding.

I told you so.

LINDA SIGHS

KNOCKING Please!

Vincent, you've got to get me out of here!

FRANTIC KNOCKING Vincent, you don't...

Don't understand, all right!

Please!

PANICKED BREATHING Please...

Let me out! All right, listen...

Somebody needs to help me, all right? Please!

You're not eating.

No.

The thing that I don't get, right...

If you're trying to put the frighteners on someone,

then at least do it properly.

I mean, I rumbled her right from the get-go.

The thing you have to understand about Ronnie

is she had a really difficult childhood.

Oh, so did I. What's that got to do with it?

ROXY SIGHS

You just have to make allowances for people sometimes, that's all.

You're not seriously sticking up for her?

Look, I...

I just think it's probably best if we steer clear of her, OK?

-What, and let her think it worked?

-Oh...

-That I'm scared of her?

Listen to me.

You still need to be careful.

Of what?

-Careful of what?

-Dean...

No, come on, Roxy, there's something you're not telling me, what is it?

She's murdered once already.
