No.

Why are you still standing here?

If Phil says no police, there'll be a good reason.

Did he tell you what's happened?

No. No, He was asleep when I dumped my bags,

but Shirley gave me the gist of it on the phone.

I'm guessing Ben's still a no-show?

Yeah, well, we think he's gone after one of Paul's killers.

I'm just trying to look out for everyone, OK?

Jane's coming home tomorrow.

Right, well, you'll need to focus on that.

Look, I'll call you when I've spoken to Phil.

He ain't good, Sharon. I'm warning you.

Whit, please.

I know I messed up, like, really messed up, but I can make it right.

I really can. Please, don't go.

Welcome to the Walford Games, woo!

Maybe I should go up?

Of all the times to have a packed house.

I could murder Lee if Whitney hasn't already.

Come on, kid - neck it out.

Oh, Whitney.

Erm, I'm just here for my shift.

No need. I'm just doing sandwiches. Best you go home,

look after that nasty burn.

Swerve any agro while you're at it, eh?

Hey, she's not swerving anything.

Johnny, sign us up, mate.

We'll, er, go for Switzerland, yeah? Keep things nice and neutral.

Come on. I'll get the drinks in.

Er, no, Steven...

Abi, if you run away now,

it's just going to be twice as hard when you come in for work tomorrow.

Go on. Go and sit down.

Right, folks, let's charge those glasses and -

let the games begin!

How could you, Lee?

All them things we said and... and thought about Whitney?

I don't know. I couldn't think.

Well, you'd better start thinking now, yeah?

Go and sort Ollie out, L.

You look tired, son.

PHONE CHIMES

What aren't you telling me, Gareth?

I can't take this any more.

Kids, get your things.

You're scaring me.

You've had a row. It happens, especially when you're hormonal.

Shakil better duck when I'm on.

No, it's not hormones.

Tina said she'd leave me a bottle of booze stashed away somewhere,

the lying cow.

What is she doing here?

Good question. What am I doing here?

Because there's enough of you lot to keep and eye on the old bat.

What have bats got to do with anything?

Look, Tina won't be long. Whitney's had a bust up with Lee.

Has Lee done something stupid?

Whatever it is, it can be fixed, can't it?

Um, well, Lee slept with Abi, got chlamydia,

then passed it on to Whit,

and then let her take the blame for giving it to him.

There's got to be some booze somewhere.

So how are you meant to make it up with Whitney

if you can't even explain it to me?

I was upset, Dad. Dad, I thought she wanted you.

Oh, so it was... It was like tit for tat. Is that what it was, yeah?

Is that what you're saying to me?

Except the tat never really happened, did it?

In the first place.

I thought you was better than that, Lee!

I'm a... I'm a disappointment. I get it.

If you have a problem, you talk it out,

you don't jump straight in bed with another bird. I just...

You know, I should have seen this, when you tried to

get out of having a baby.

I want the baby. I want the baby, I know that now.

If you don't mind me saying, your timing's a little off.

Over here, D. We're Greece.

Oh, Steven, this is pointless. No-one even wants me here.

Abi, it's about your pride, OK?

So long as you're here, no-one can accuse you of running away.

Well, I'd rather run away then get my head ripped off.

Professionals, no kids, no pets, six weeks up front. Kerching!

Yes! I should have a girls' night out more often.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I owe it all to you, Ron.

You up for draughts later?

Anything that don't involve a steady hand.

Here, Ron, you want to swap with me? I'm starting to fall asleep here.

No, I should try Andy again.

-Oh, I'm sure they'll be fine.

-Come on.

Right! Ten minutes to finish your games, folks, then we swap over.

He's not even answering.

Ron, he's probably on the tube. If he needs you, he'll call you, yeah?

I know it seems impossible right now, but if you give it time...

No. No, I can't go back there, I can't.

Shall I phone Bianca, eh? See if she can come and see you?

I'm going to go to her.

-What you going on about?

-Lauren, I can't live here can I?

Not with Lee living across the square.

If my baby ain't going to have a proper dad then I...

I need to get out of here.

I'm so sorry I've not been here for you, Phil.

I should never have gone to Florida.

You going to tell me what's so important?

Well, I'll tell you about it once you've filled me in on Ben.

So you had a fight and he did a runner, right?

Something like that.

Well, I wouldn't worry about it, he'll come home.

-He wanted me to get him a gun.

-What?

I didn't. I... Well, I thought I played it clever,

but when I didn't give him a gun... I never seen him so angry, Sharon.

The thing is, he's got the address of the bloke that killed Paul.

Right. Well, leave it to me.

What could I possibly say that will excuse what I've done?

You need to go and talk to her. From the heart.

That's what I'd do.

You wouldn't have done the dirty in the first place.

Abi's down there playing board games, like butter wouldn't melt.

Not really helping that, L, to be fair.

PHONE CHIMES

It's Shirley.

Whitney says she's going to leave Walford, for good.

Well, then, you better get over there. Beg. Grovel.

Do whatever you have to.

Except he can't even look at me, so she ain't going to, is she?

She's right, anyway. You're all right.

Whitney deserves so much better.

Lee. Do you want this baby?

Just... Just... Just be honest.

Do you want to be with Whitney? Do you love her?

Of course I do.

Then help me understand. Cos if the woman I loved was over there,

-packing her bags

-I ain't you!

I ain't you, am I, Dad?

Don't you think I wish I was?

And then, that way, everyone would have got what they wanted!

Oi, come here!

Hello?

Andy?

Hello. Your call cannot be taken at the moment.

Hi Andy, it's Ronnie.

Um... I was just wondering how you were getting on.

I hope the zoo's not too crazy. Anyway, I'm back now, so,

I guess I'll see you later? OK, thanks.

I've left a message with Bianca, all right?

Thanks. I just need a break before I have this baby.

You had a baby, Shirley. Or was it two?

Urgh, has anyone got a pillow handy?

If I don't get a move on, I'm going to be really late for work.

Do you want me to go and get the rest of your stuff?

DOORBELL RINGS

That'll be Lee. I sent him a text.

Someone had to step in.

Tell him to get lost.

No. You do it, Whitney.

All right, I will.

What? Can't he fight his own battles?

Actually, I just wanted to make sure you're all right. Can we talk?

OK, Andy, I'm getting really worried now.

Why is your phone not switched on? Can you call me, please?

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

Finally!

Why haven't you answered my calls?

My phone died, sorry.

That's not good enough, Andy, OK? I've been worried sick.

We went to the hospital.

What?

She means the care home. I got a call after we left.

They, er... They wanted me to pop by, so we had to miss the zoo.

What? Why didn't you call me? I could have changed my plans!

I couldn't.

Fine, look, um... How's your dad? Is he all right?

He had a bad night,

but we cheered him up, didn't we, kids?

-Yeah!

-Yes!

-I'll go and put some fish fingers on.

-No, look, don't worry about it.

You've had them all day. I can do the dinner.

I'll put Matthew in his PJs, then.

No, listen, Jack's at the Vic, so why don't you go and join him?

Yeah, all right, then. It was my bad about freaking you out.

I'm sorry.

Right, kids, come here. Go and wash your hands and take your shoes off.

Whoever does it first gets a prize.

What Lee's done is indefensible,

and I... I'm so disappointed in him.

He said he loved me.

He does, darling.

Look, I know that Mick's never cheated on me,

but he's done stupid things.

Hurtful things. Things I thought I'd never get past.

He let the world think he HAD cheated on me -

with prostitutes, thanks very much - rather than let down a mate.

Yeah, that was horrible.

I got over it in the end, though.

He didn't cheat on you though, did he, Linda?

And he didn't give you chlamydia. There's a difference.

How can I trust him?

How can I trust him when he's lied so badly to me now?

We're engaged. We've got a baby on the way.

I know. I know what he did was wrong.

But he... He was all over the place because he... He thought you'd just

cheated on him with his own dad.

Oh, do you know what, Linda? Don't even bother.

Don't even bother,

cos it doesn't matter if Lee came in here right now, ripped my heart out,

and stamped all over it you'd still say it was me what drove him to it!

-Wouldn't you?

-No, that's not what I'm...

Yeah, you would. Just don't! Just don't.

SOBBING: Why?

SOBBING: Why? Why?

It's all right, sweetheart. OK? Just let it out.

I know. I know.

Old Maid. Exactly how I feel after today.

How long does Pam need you on the stall for?

I don't know. She's still grieving.

Terrible thing to lose your boy.

Vincent just needs time, Mum.

Who said anything about Vincent?

Erm, I'm... I'm pretty sure "Keyjaw," isn't a word, Billy.

Are you sure about that?

Right, time's up. Mark your cards and rotate, please!

All right?

Yeah. Hardly morning training, is it?

But it's, erm... It's good to be on your team again.

You hanging about is just going to stir things up.

I can't do this, Steven.

I've shown my face, and now I'm going.

All right. I'll walk you home.

-Sorry.

-All right.

Looks like it's just us, then.

We can't play each other.

-Why not break the rules?

-Kush...

Look, this, erm...

This "feeling" that you say is between us - that's what you

-called it, right?

-Yeah, I did. Yeah.

Only, I... I don't want to waste your time.

I mean, you're great. You are...a great guy.

-It's OK.

-No.

I just... I just think there is a little bit too much

history between us.

-I mean, I still want to be friends.

-It's OK. It's OK.

-We... We're cool.

-Yeah?

Hello - any room for another player? I'm very good,

or so I'm told.

-Why don't you take my place? I'm rubbish anyway.

-Thanks.

Night, then.

Right, I better get back after this one.

Help Ron get the kids down.

Mate, trust me, they'll be worn out after today.

Dead on their feet.

Ricky, what happened to your T-shirt? It's soaking.

Look, we don't do secrets in this house.

Look, I know you like Andy, OK? But if ever he wanted you to do

anything that you knew was wrong, I want you to tell me, OK?

You wouldn't... You wouldn't be in trouble.

We're not meant to say...

There's nothing that you can't tell me, darling. Nothing.

We had two ice-creams each.

And crisps.

I threw up.

I'm sorry I shouted at you.

Forget it. And forget what I said about you and Mick.

I shouldn't have brought that up.

I'm sorry, I just... All I meant was that, when Lee is low,

he can be self-destructive.

Sounds like you're making excuses for him again.

No, I can't excuse what he did, and I don't want to.

I just... I just don't want you thinking that this was

about him wanting someone else.

Linda, what if he only proposed because of what happened?

He wants to marry you more than anything,

and I know he wishes he could turn back the clock.

But he can't, and that's the truth of it.

I'm not saying you should stay together. I'm not.

But you're part of our family now, because of that little one in there.

It seals the deal, whether you forgive Lee or not.

It's... It's Bianca.

She said that she can come and get you if you want.

What shall I say to her?

Erm... Waiting for someone?

So, what, you keeping tabs on me?

No, I'm...

I'm here for my sausage roll, and then I'm, um, back to work.

OK, If you're wondering.

I've knocked things on the head with Kush.

You seemed to give off the impression

-there was nothing to know.

-Yeah, well... Maybe there would've been.

But I've made enough bad mistakes in my lifetime.

Hey. I've made a fair few myself.

Happy families, eh?

Keep the change, darling.

Hey, erm... I'm making my famous Jerk chicken for Patrick

and Dot when they finish their salsa class, and...

You want to come round?

Yeah. Yeah, all right, cheers.

And you too, Mum. You're invited as well.

I... You mean it?

Yeah, I do.

So you, um... You think it over and you get back to me, all right?

Hi. Um... Is Stacey in?

Martin just took her out for dinner.

I was just about to put Lily to bed.

Look, you're friends with Andy, maybe you can help.

OK, erm... Do you want to go through?

Has something happened?

No. I just... Something about the way he acted today bothers me.

I mean, he was supposed to take the kids to the zoo,

but he ended up taking them to see his dad instead.

Well, that's all right, innit?

I mean, he's close to his dad - especially since his sister died.

Yeah, but he didn't tell me.

I mean, he lied. He said his phone was out of charge.

Maybe he just thought you'd be mad that he took the kids.

Yeah, well, I was mad. I freaked out.

I don't know. Sometimes it's like he's putting on an act, or...

Like he's faking it.

Look, as far as I can see, Andy is a good guy

who's had some rough times.

So, yeah, he probably does slap a smile on when he's not feeling 100%.

Peace offering.

I don't want you to be me, son.

Sometimes you do.

Yeah. A bit. I think maybe most dads do.

To an extent.

It's not just you, though. It's... It's me as well.

It's Whitney, it's mum...

It's just like you've set the bar so high.

I can't even get to it.

What are you talking about? I just want you to be happy.

Then please, please, just be my dad.

I've made the biggest mistake of my life,

so I need you now more than ever.

Done. Always.

But I just... I need to tell you this, as your dad -

I need to tell you that if you don't fight for Whitney,

then you'll never forgive yourself.

Whatever happens, either way, I'm always going to be here for you.

-Always.

-Thanks, Dad.

-I'm just going down there now.

-She ain't there no more.

I said I'd send you down.

Whit. Whit. I am so, so, so sorry,

and I know I can't undo the mess I've made or the lies I've told.

I don't know... I don't know, I guess... I guess I was hoping

it would all just go away,

because I knew - I knew - how much I had to lose if you found out.

And maybe it is too late, right?

Maybe you hate me.

But before you go... Before you go to Milton Keynes,

I need you to know -

I love you, Whitney Dean.

And if, if by some miracle you were to give me

- us, even - another chance, I promise...

I swear I will never betray you again.

Well, I wish I could believe that.

Did you propose to me out of guilt?

No! On my life, Whit.

Listen, we have so much to look forward to, if we stay together.

And I c... I can't stand what I've done to you.

Me neither.

I never thought you were capable of hurting me so much.

Do you know, I don't know if it's too late.

I don't know if I can forgive you.

But I'm going to try.

Cos I... Because I really love you.

Do you mean it?

Yeah. That "happy ever after," Lee. That's all I've ever wanted.

You know that. I want it so bad.

Keep it down, Phil's asleep.

You said it was urgent. Have you found Ben?

-Ben's asked Phil to get him a gun.

-What?

He said no, but what if he gets his hands on one somewhere else?

Well, Mum will have a coronary, for starters.

So we don't tell her.

I've told Phil to leave it to me.

Yeah, but he's the one with all the contacts!

He's got nothing left, Ian.

All right, so what do you suggest?

If Phil Mitchell can't find his own son, who else is going to?

Well, there is someone,

but Phil'd have my guts.

Look, I'm sorry about being a drama queen.

I don't know what got into me.

No worries. You've got to take care of your kids, haven't you?

Come on, kids. Let's go.

Except, Ronnie, there was one thing.

Andy had this file, this photo of him and his sister...

So?

Well, there was also photos of you and your sister.

I though it was because, you know, he had a crush on Roxy,

but it was a bit strange.

We're playing trains. I'm the conductor.

-Tickets, please!

-Andy's still got mine.

This is real! Where did you get this?

From today.

Telford? You went to Telford?

To see Andy's daddy.

What?

Ronnie, what is it?

I know who he is.

I know who Andy really is.
