STEADY HEARTBEAT

HEARTBEAT QUICKENS

Did somebody say "party"?

Just remember that today is not all about you.

What do you mean?

Where's Honey? Les is getting the drinks in.

Um... She had to go.

Her Auntie Caroline had a fall in the supermarket.

-So, while the cat's away...

-Oh...

-Shouldn't Jane be here by now?

-Er, I'll pop back and get her.

Come on, Ian. Show us your grandad moves.

Ha! You're joking, aren't you? I mean, look at him.

It's obvious the man has no rhythm.

Yeah, unlike yours truly here.

Oh, yeah!

-Whoooo!

-I'll have you know

I used to frequent the odd discotheque back in the day.

-"Discotheque"?

-It's a horrible word for a nightclub. Don't use it.

Don't embarrass yourself, bruv.

Oh, no. No! Please! No!

Look at him go - John Travolta over there!

No, no, NO! NO!

There you go.

Thanks.

Mum...

Yeah, I'm in here, darling.

-How was school?

-All right.

-I'm starving, though.

-Right.

Why don't you take him to the Vic?

Well, I'd rather stay here with you.

No. You go and enjoy yourself.

I might...

I might go for a walk anyway. Get some fresh air.

OK. Well, if you need anything, just call me.

Denny! Go and put your waistcoat and shirt on, please.

You don't have to do all this, you know.

Yes, I do.

Right, come on. We better go back in.

Hang on. There's just, er, something I need to do first, yeah?

I LOVE STACEY FOWLER!

Just cos your mum and Ollie can't be here

doesn't mean they can't share the day with us, does it? Yeah?

CAMERA CLICKS

Aw! See me?

I love a bit of love, me. I think it's a beautiful thing.

I'm sorry to interrupt this moment,

but I don't know how long I'm going to be able

to keep Kim away from that buffet.

You know what I mean? Liven yourselves up.

-Come on.

-Whoa, whoa, not so fast.

Is she an old girlfriend or something?

She's my sister.

Where is she now?

She died.

I'm so sorry.

How did it happen?

You ask a lot of questions, don't you?

She got hit by a car.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.

It's all right. It happened a long time ago.

You should get going. Stace'll be wondering where you are.

-You're coming later anyway, aren't you?

-Yeah.

Just got a few things to sort out here first.

I'll meet you over there.

Your sister...

..she was very beautiful.

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

Ian! How's that speech looking?

Er, just a few last minute tweaks.

Yeah, well, try and keep it, er, child friendly, yeah?

All right. Don't worry. I'm not going to be nice to you.

It's just a drink, all right?

All right.

That's better.

So what am I going to have to do to get a, er, dance out of you later?

Depends how many of these I've had, don't it?

I'll just have to make sure I get the drinks in, then, won't I?

You think they're here now, Les?

Spending their ill gotten gains?

Let's not think about that today.

It's hard to paint a smile on my face

when someone is threatening my family.

If we give in to them, then we let the blackmailer win, don't we?

Now let's just try and enjoy ourselves.

This all looks very cosy.

-We were just, er...

-Stabbing me in the back?

Ahem! Any regrets?

-About what?

-Ian - the one who got away.

I wouldn't swap places with Jane now if you paid me.

Right. I want a pint of lager and...

-Let me guess. A white wine?

-A white wine, a large one.

-Make that two.

-Rox!

There's me thinking we were shot of you for good.

-Jack! Not today.

-I got your message. How's Phil doing?

He's not good.

Look, I better go and see him.

-No, don't do that.

-Jack...

What, you forgotten what she said to Amy?

I was in a bad place the other week, all right?

What about the 20 grand?

The debt is paid off.

Until the next time.

There won't be a next time. I've sorted myself out.

-I've got money coming in.

-Where from?

Roxy! Better late than never.

Beautiful dress, don't you think?

I hope you're taking notes? Because you're up next, sweetheart.

What was Martin thinking, making Ian best man?

-Testing, testing...

-Yeah, we can hear you, darlin'.

Yeah, OK, all right, er, ladies and gentlemen, without further ado,

I give you your groom.

CHEERING

On behalf of my wife and I... CHEERING

-Jane's still not answering.

-Oh, look, give her five minutes.

I just want to thank you all for coming today

and sharing this special occasion with us.

Erm...

Now, I don't know how many of you know this -

so for those who don't, I'm going to fill you in.

I think it's only fair -

that it was actually Stacey that proposed to me.

-Yeah, only to stop you asking.

-LAUGHTER

On a serious note, though, you called me your rock.

But you know what?

You're stronger than the pair of us put together.

What you've been through this year

and the strength that you've shown,

I am in awe of you, Stacey.

You know, someone once said

that if you haven't found something worth dying for,

then you haven't lived.

That's how I feel today, looking at you.

My beautiful wife.

We couldn't have got through that, though,

without our family and friends.

DOOR CLOSES

'You came through for us when we needed you the most, you know,

'and that really makes you learn to appreciate, you know,

'what really matters.

'Cos without your family and friends, what have you got?'

Let's plough on, shall we?

I just want to say a few thank yous.

I'm going to start with my beautiful daughter Rebecca,

who is probably...DEFINITELY the smartest person that I know.

She gets that from my side.

On to my little stepdaughter Lily.

Or is it Queen Elsa of Arendelle we're going by now, is it?

That's the craic, is it, yeah?

Who is not just an amazing little girl,

but she's been teaching me a few dance moves,

so if you stick around later, you might just get to see...

a few little shapes.

Don't know what that is. LAUGHTER

And Arthur...

Well, you are looking at the future captain of Spurs right there.

You wait till Ollie starts playing for the mighty Hammers!

To my mother-in-law Jean, sadly she can't be with us today.

She's playing nursemaid to Ollie so we wish them a speedy recovery.

And to Ian and Jane,

who, without you, I don't think we'd have got through today

so thank you.

-Jane's just gone to get the cake.

-Oh, I'll go and fetch her.

No, you stay here. I'll look for her.

And, finally, I'd just like to take a little bit of time

to remember those people who can't be with us today.

Brian, Stacey's dad.

I never met him, but, from what I understand, he was a top bloke.

Erm...

Mark, my brother...

I miss you every day, mate.

I really do.

Mum and Dad,

no doubt you're up there arguing about who's going to make the tea.

LAUGHTER

Finally, I'd like you all to grab a glass,

raise them right up in the air

and join me in a toast to my ridiculously beautiful wife, Stacey.

-ALL: Stacey!

-Cheers!

-APPLAUSE

MUSIC: Congratulations by Cliff Richard

You managed to sort out your passport?

Yeah, well, I got back from Ibiza this morning, so...

So you need more money?

I've come back for Amy.

I'm her mother. She belongs with me.

She's at her friend's.

Right, well, when's she going to be back?

Ron...

You can't even take care of yourself.

Don't start! SHE GROANS

Have you taken something?

Of course I haven't!

-You look like you haven't slept.

-Yeah, well...

Probably got something to do with the fact

-that Auntie Peggy just died.

-Ron, Dot's just called.

Matthew's been sick everywhere.

-Do you want me to go deal with it?

-No. No, I'll go.

(Keep Roxy here.)

HE KNOCKS AT DOOR

Jane?

Jane, are you in there?

Ronnie, you haven't seen Jane, have you?

Erm, no, sorry.

Andy?

Andy!

Andy, where're you going?

I'm leaving.

Why? Has something happened?

-Oh, look, you can't just leave.

-Why not?

Well, you've got a job for a start.

Look, I've got to check up on Matthew.

Why don't you come with me?

Whatever it is, I'm sure we can sort it out together.

Just me and you?

Yeah, if that's what you want.

Come on.

Now, they say a best man's speech shouldn't last any longer

than it takes for the groom to make love.

So, that's it from me. I give you Mr and Mrs Fowler.

LAUGHTER

Martin hasn't always been that lucky with women.

His first wife turned out to be a lesbian.

You're lucky she's at work, otherwise she'd have lamped you.

Yeah, he's got a point, actually, hasn't he? But seriously, though,

even I can see that he's struck gold this time.

And, Stacey, I know we've had our differences in the past,

but anyone in this room can see how happy you make Martin.

So I'd like to take this opportunity

to officially welcome you to our family.

-Someone get that girl a taxi!

-LAUGHTER

-Any sign of Jane?

-Not a peep.

I've got an e-mail here from America, Florida

and your sister Michelle, and it says, "Stacey,

"now we're both Fowler women, I want to give you a few bits of advice.

"If Martin's anything like his dad,

"then there is one sure fire way of getting his attention."

LAUGHTER

Not your finest hour, Ian!

If you want any more ammunition on Martin, just ask.

But, for starters, he used to wet the bed until he was nine.

THEY GROAN

Whoa, that's a lie - 11.

11!

"Now, Martin might have been a mistake..."

Bit harsh, Michelle, I think you were an accident.

"..but, through time, we grew to love him

"and I know that Mum and Dad, if they were still here,

"would be as proud of him today as I am.

"All my love and congratulations. Your big sister, Michelle."

-APPLAUSE

-Right, and, er...

Oh, I like how she gets the round of applause.

And, finally, I'd like to make a little tribute of my own

to my beautiful wife Jane.

Relationships aren't always easy,

but every bump along the way makes you stronger, doesn't it?

And I just hope that you and Stacey can be as happy as we are.

So, ladies and gentlemen, if you'd like to raise your glasses...

-Dad...

-..the bride and groom!

-Dad....

ALL: The bride and groom!

DAD!

Bobby?

I killed Mum...

..just like I killed Lucy.

-Bobby, come on.

-Linda, keep an eye on Denny for me!

Shall I call an ambulance?

No. Go back in the pub. Keep everyone inside.

Jane?

Jane!

Jane, can you hear me?

There's blood everywhere.

Is she breathing, Sharon?

I don't know. I can't tell.

Jane?

Call an ambulance!

Dad?

-Get him out of here.

-She wouldn't let me go back to school.

I mean it, Ben. Before I do something I'll regret.

Let's go and wait in the kitchen. Come on.

I've got a pulse.

Ian! She needs you!

Jane! Jane, it's all right, love.

It's all right, I'm here.

I heard it with my own ears. He said he killed Lucy.

Oh, don't be ridiculous. He's just a little boy.

It's probably shock. He doesn't know what he's saying.

-I was just over there.

-Did you see anything at all?

No, no. The place was empty.

Well, there you go, then. It's probably just a storm in a teacup.

So, what about the blood on that hockey stick?

I knew there was something shifty about that kid.

-Oh, here we go!

-I mean it!

He's got those piercing eyes that look right through to your soul.

Yeah, well, so what do we do now, then?

But, look, I don't know about anybody else,

but that buffet's got my name on it. Excuse me.

And I thought my family was messed up.

Look, what happened with Shaks, it wasn't what it looked like.

Oh, so you weren't shoving your tongue down his throat?

So much for best mates!

I'm sorry.

Aw, your face!

-So you're not angry?

-No, of course I'm not!

I never really liked him that much, anyway.

-So we're all right?

-Yeah, course we are, Bex.

Look, I should really go and see how Ian is.

-You don't mind, do you?

-No. Of course not. No.

-You sure, yeah?

-Yeah.

Martin... You, erm...

You don't think Bobby actually meant all that stuff that he said, do you?

I dunno. You just stay and enjoy the party, yeah?

-I'll see you in a bit.

-All right.

The operator wants to know if she's still bleeding.

I think so, yeah.

Yeah. It's coming from the back of her head.

Well, I don't know what happened. We just found her here.

She fell, I think.

I didn't mean to do it.

See what you've done?

-Kathy, outside.

-You are destroying this family, do you know that?

-Ian, it was an accident!

-Like hell it was.

What're you talking about?

I should've gone to the police when I had the chance.

Sharon, what do you mean?

What, Bobby killed Lucy?!

-He's a kid.

-Not now, Ben!

How long have you known?

I asked you a question.

It doesn't matter. What matters is getting Jane to hospital.

They tried to pin this on me

and the whole time - THE WHOLE TIME - you were covering for him?

It wasn't like that, Ben.

You're fighting cos of me, aren't you?

No, mate, no. No-one's angry with you, all right?

Are they going to send me to prison?

-We have to get him out of here.

-It's too late.

-I've BEEN THERE, remember?

-DOOR OPENS

I know what those places are like.

Jane. What's happened?

-Can you wait outside for the ambulance?

-I'm not going to...

Please, Martin! Please...

All right.

The Old Bill are going to be all over this. You know that.

-Bobby, go change your shirt.

-Ian...

Just do it now. Go, quickly. Quickly!

What, you got to be somewhere?

I want to see Amy.

Not in that state, you don't.

Just tell me who her mate is and I'll go and get her.

What, you really think I'm going to let her anywhere near you

after that stunt you pulled the other week?

Go on.

Get out of my sight before I really lose my temper.

Dot is under strict instructions not to feed Matthew any more Battenberg.

So, is Jack not paying you enough?

No. That's not it.

So, why're you leaving?

Because there's nothing for me here.

What're you talking about?

You've got a job.

You've got friends.

Jack said you're the best labourer that he's got.

He wouldn't say that if he knew I was squatting in his flat.

Why didn't you say anything?

Cos it's no-one else's business.

So, what are you going to do?

Go back home, see my dad.

How is he?

I should never have left him.

So, why did you?

Cos I was looking for someone.

Did you find her?

How did you know it was a her?

-SHE LAUGHS

-Just a hunch.

So, what's she like?

Not what I expected.

Erm, I'm just going to go and get a corkscrew, yeah?

Well, it sounds to me like you've got unfinished business.

Just a bit.

LOCK CLICKS

I think you should stay.

Don't leave.

Why don't you finish what you started?

I keep thinking back to the day that Ian came in here and told Peter.

It just goes to show.

You never know what goes on behind closed doors.

Let's just wait till we know all the facts, yeah?

Yeah, you're right, son. For all we know, it's just a domestic.

Let's crank up the music and carry on with the party, eh?

Good luck with that one, yeah?

You're going to need it.

What're you talking about?

Well, I mean Bex is my mate and stuff, but...

Spit it out.

She's got anger problems, ain't she?

I think it goes back to when she was adopted.

Right, that's it. I'm going over there.

-L...

-My friend's hurt, Mick. I can't just stand here and do nothing.

-L...

Here, Stacey!

You want to get on the blower to Max and tell him to call his brief.

-What're you talking about?

-Well, you heard what Bobby said.

Will you just ignore my sister?

She's watched too many episodes of Columbo.

Don't even think about it.

I mean it, Stace. Today's about you and Martin.

Anything else that's happened can wait, all right?

All right.

Are you all right?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm-I'm just a bit light-headed, that's all.

You're sweating.

That's cos it's so hot in there.

I was sorry to hear about Peggy.

Cheers.

She was a remarkable woman.

Of course, it's the ones that are left behind that I feel sorry for.

All right, do you know what? I need to go find Billy...

Roxy, I've been thinking about you a lot since Christmas

-and if you ever need to talk...

-I'm fine.

I don't think you are.

What is this? Some kind of support group?

I'm just worried about you, that's all.

Look, Linda, you might enjoy playing the victim,

but I ain't interested, all right?

I'm sorry, all right? I'm sorry.

I just want to forget Dean ever existed, OK?

It's not that easy, though, is it?

Linda?

What're you doing?

I'm just going to check on Jane.

Just leave it for now, yeah? They've got enough going on.

I'll, er, I'll ring you when there's any news, all right?

All right.

-I need your help.

-Later, Rox,

they've just brought out the chicken wings.

Billy!

I've got ten grand's worth of drugs inside me, OK?

I think something's gone wrong.

So, is she blonde or brunette?

It's not like that.

But you managed to track her down, yeah?

-Why don't you do something about it?

-KNOCK AT DOOR

Oh, excuse me.

-KNOCKING CONTINUES

-OK!

-Why did you lock the door?

-Er, I didn't.

Well, somebody did. It's bolted.

-How's Matthew?

-Yeah, he's fine.

He just ate too much of Dot's cake, that's all.

I decided to leave him there for a bit.

What you doing here?

Andy just came over to get some advice on a girl.

Oh, yeah? Anyone I know?

SIREN WAILS

-Where's Roxy?

-That ambulance isn't for Roxy.

Well, where is she, then?

-Jack!

-I told her to do one, all right?

You did what?!

DOOR OPENS

The ambulance is here.

-Bobby?

-You can't just leave her.

-Bobby. We have to go now.

-Why're you still protecting him?

-I can't let the police take him.

-Ian's right.

-It's what Jane would have wanted.

-What're you talking about?

I don't believe I'm hearing this. She's DYING, Ian.

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

Ian!

Excuse me. Right, can you tell me your name?

It's Jane Beale.

Jane, my name's Tom. I'm a paramedic.

Can you tell me what happened?

Is she going to be all right?

Echo 2 to Control. We've got severe head trauma, possible spinal injury.

-Can you grab a scoop and collar?

-Yep.

Spinal injury?

Yeah, if I could just ask you to give us some space?

Mick! Have you seen Roxy?

She left with Billy about ten minutes ago.

Ron!

Stace was asking after you.

Listen, mate, I'm sorry if I upset you earlier.

It's fine.

Just keep it between you and me, yeah?

Ian...

Just get in the back and put your seatbelt on, yeah?

How's Jane, all right?

I can't stop, Mick. I've got to go.

The night of your wedding...

You knew Bobby did it, didn't ya?

I haven't got time for this.

He killed your little girl, Ian.

The paramedics are in there and you're out here running away.

What kind of a man does that make you?

Just leave me alone, please.

You go now, you'll regret it for the rest of your life, I swear.

Jane needs you.

I know she does.

So, what on earth are you doing out here?

Dad?

Jane...

What is it? What's wrong with her?

They think it's a spinal injury.

Right, Jane. We're going to take you to the hospital, OK?

It's all right, love. It's all right.

I'm here. I'm not going anywhere, I promise you.

OK. And on three. One, two, three...

Was that the ambulance?

They're taking her away now.

Is Jane all right?

It don't look good.

Linda, will you just help my cousin keep an eye on the kids?

Yeah, of course.

What are you, some kind of creche?

Martin?

We'll know more when she gets to the hospital.

-Did you call the police?

-Yes.

Ian! What about Bobby?

Shut the door.
