KNOCK AT DOOR

-Delivery.

-Wait here, just a minute.

SHE GIGGLES

HE LAUGHS

VEHICLE ARRIVES OUTSIDE

-Can we have the sausages now?

-Don't you want to save them?

Auntie Caroline gave them to us as a special treat.

You want them now, don't you?

Be careful with that, Janet.

Took a lot of stuff, didn't we, just for the weekend?

We want 'em now!

All right, then, we'll have them now.

But they were expensive so we'll put half of them in the freezer.

Says the woman who made us get a cab.

Excuse me, I'm frugal. You're stingy.

Right, Janet, here is the change from the cab.

Donation to the wedding fund.

Right, then. Sausages!

Erm, second thoughts, why don't we put all the sausages in the freezer

and go to the caff for a fry-up instead?

Yes!

I was only teasing about being stingy!

Yeah, I know, I know, but we can save these, can't we?

-Go on, Will, take Janet, go ahead.

-Come on, Janet.

Hold on, wait, wait.

Look, go on, then. I'll meet you there.

What is it?

Nothing.

Jay's made a mess of the flat, hasn't he?

Little bit.

Look, I just want to have a quick tidy round,

-you go and have breakfast with the kids.

-How bad is it?

Oh, it's not bad, honest. It's just, we've had such a lovely weekend,

I want to end it on a nice note, you know?

Babe, I am being nice here.

Play your cards right, I can be a lot nicer later on!

Such a nice man(!)

I am. Go on.

Jay...

I'm sorry, all right? I thought you weren't back until tonight.

Stop it.

Trying to be romantic.

Oh, yeah, height of romance right now, ain't it?!

Hope Ian keeps this place up to the health code.

Stop joking around.

What's the matter?

I don't like all this sneaking about.

Ain't you done this before?

No. But I've had it done to me, though.

You're not the other woman, Kathy. You're the ONLY woman.

What about me?

Nah, I've got them lined up outside, didn't you see 'em on your way in?!

I know how to pick them, don't I?

Can't you say anything nice?

I want to, but...

I'm all ears.

I can't.

You think I can let myself feel anything while we do this?

While I have to keep on lying to everyone I care about.

I mean, how can it even be real when it's like this?

It's real to me.

And to me.

Yeah? Right, I better go, then.

To do what?

To talk to Shirley.

Tina!

I'm late!

Yeah, since when have you cared about that?

Well, no, I just... I've got...

-Shirley!

-She's been talking about her since she woke up.

She'll stop soon, you know she don't mean to go on.

-You seen my daughter?

-She's over here, Sylvie.

Oh, that one's useless.

I asked her to go get Shirley hours ago!

She has got a point. I mean, where is Shirley?

And the rest of your family. We shouldn't have to cope alone.

Yeah, sure.

Look, I've said I'm sorry, all right?

And since when did you smoke?

I had a friend over.

Look at the state of you, you still drunk?

-No, I'm not.

-Have you even been to bed yet?

I was about to before you came in.

Oh, do me a favour, Jay, go and get your nut down in the kids' room.

You're no good in here.

Who was round then? Ben?

Yeah.

Look, I messed up, all right? I'm sorry.

Don't let it ruin the nice weekend you just had.

Where you been?

Delivery at the restaurant.

Oh, right.

Why do you look so happy?

Do I?

-Morning.

-Morning.

So I was thinking, seeing as everyone's at work today,

I might have a look round Walford at last.

-What?

-I mean, I've liked seeing the sights and everything,

but I just feel I haven't really seen round here.

Where Mum came from.

There's a garage, a chippie,

a pub. It's all really exciting stuff.

Don't bother me.

A proper Walford education? I think we can do that.

Great.

Thanks, Denise.

Ian's a nightmare at the moment, there's never any change over there.

Can you blame him?

You seen it?

Seen what?

"To let" sign outside Masood's.

He's going travelling, in't he?

-Yeah. Looks like it.

-Well, isn't that a good thing?

Last week you said you were fine with it.

Yeah, I was.

But I just thought he'd come to his senses eventually.

I mean, what about Kamil? What's he to do?

Piggyback while he goes motorbiking in India or something?

What an amazing way to see the world, though.

We've got to do something. We have to have a word.

What, like an intervention?

Exactly.

Bit early for you, innit, babe?

Tina ain't turned you into a wino already, has she?

No, no, it's you I wanted to see, Mick.

Me?

Yeah, and Shirley, and Babe, really all of you.

Shall I call a meeting?

Oh, Sonia. All right?

Yeah. Erm, we heard about the trial, I'm really, really sorry.

Oh, that's all right.

If there's anything you need...

Yeah, Sonia came round, just she wanted to have

a little chat with us about something.

-Why, what's happened?

-Nothing's happened.

It's just that, you know, all that stuff with Sylvie and Babe,

you know, we just want a few days of no agg...

Yeah, well, that's it.

I've come round to make it up to you all for last week.

Well, you don't need to go doing that.

Nah, course you don't, darling, you can't keep your eye on her 24/7.

Yeah, but someone's got to, Mick.

And Sylvie can be... Well, you know, she can be...

Tell me about it!

Oi, nose ointment, how long have you been standing there?

Babe, I'm really, really sorry about last week.

-I would think so.

-Oh, stop it!

She's your sister, it's got nothing to do with Sonia.

She Tina's partner, or what?

You want to be part of this family or not?

-Oh, ignore her.

-Look, I just want to make it up to you.

You know, tea at ours later on. You know, I'll put a bit of food on.

Think I'm breaking bread with a murderer?

Well, it's attempted so...

Oh, excuse me, ATTEMPTED murderer.

She doesn't know what she's doing.

Oh, not this again!

Please. I think it would be good.

I think it would be lovely, darling.

Yeah, yeah, definitely, we'll come round and have a nice bit of tea.

-Mick!

-What? Sonia's asked us round for tea,

so we're going to go round there and have a nice bit of tea.

-And where will Sylvie be?

-Well, she'll be there,

cos she lives there, eh, but that's not the point, is it?

The point is about moving on. Making things right, yeah?

After that ridiculous verdict and the "attempted murder".

-Mick...

-Forgiveness, Babe.

You've had it often enough,

why don't you try giving it out once in a while?

What time?

Can't get a word out of Pam, she just stays in the flat.

Any news about Paul's funeral? I mean, it is getting a bit weird.

Yeah, not yet.

Maybe I should go and see her, you know, maybe...

Oi!

Hey, little lady, what're you doing?

Thank you.

Sorry. Sorry about her.

Janet, you didn't want that.

Or you could just pay for it.

No harm done.

-You should say sorry, too.

-No need for that.

I leave you for five minutes.

I didn't think I was going to run into the real-life Artful Dodger.

Have you two met? This is Mark, Martin's nephew.

Hiya. I'm Honey.

-What a name! Couldn't fit you better.

-Oh, what a charmer.

Can't help it with a face like that.

Keep an eye on that one.

Hey.

Cheers, mate.

Oh, please, throw more of Martin's stock away

-while he's at the supplier's(!)

-I'm sorry, Auntie Kathy.

We can wait a bit longer.

Gloria will be here any minute, Ian, stop fussing.

What's the point of a lock box for

-the key if they don't use it?

-PHONE RINGS

Steven?

What?!

Yeah, I'm coming now. Yeah, all right, yep, bye.

What's happened? What is it?

-Nothing for you to worry about, love.

-Ian...

Call me. Let me...

Jay? Ben's here.

All right?

Where were you?

What?

Jay. I've been waiting for you for about an hour,

you said we'd meet at eight.

You promised me you'd be all right for that,

that you guys were finishing up.

What, what, hang on a minute. Guys? What guys?

I had some mates round, I told you.

"Mates".

Shut up.

All right, now you better start telling me the truth.

Because if this has got anything to do with drugs, Jay,

-I am warning you...

-DOOR OPENS

Not a word to her.

Where did you get to?

-All right? How was the weekend?

-Good.

What's that?

It's a pig, ain't it?

Honey's Auntie Caroline gave us 200 quid towards the wedding.

She gave Janet a piggy bank, so Janet painted it,

didn't you, darling?

-How was your weekend, Will?

-Real good.

Yeah, think I can make it a bit better. Stay there, don't move.

You are such a drama queen, Billy, you made out as if he'd

trashed the place.

You're kidding!

Nope, it's yours, that is, mate.

-Wow.

-You'll have to get some good games for that, Will,

there's some on the market, I think.

This is the best thing I've ever got.

You're welcome, boy.

Well, it looks OK to me.

Come on.

Oh.

Great(!)

Can you wait? Shirl? Shirley!

Leave me alone for five minutes!

Sample my apples and pears?

What?

My apples and pears.

What?

Wares?

Have I done this wrong? My mum said...

-Stairs.

-Who the hell is he anyway?

Mark, Michelle's son.

-Who?

-You know, Martin's nephew.

Right. Then mind your own.

My own what?

Are you trying to be funny?

A little tip - never try to attract customers that have clearly

just had murders with their other half.

Murders?

Everything all right, Shirl?

Yeah.

It's Dean.

Oh.

He got off last week.

Yeah, yeah, I heard.

Why don't you come for a cup of tea, eh?

Have a chat. Mark'll cover, won't you?

Yeah, I'm just coming.

-Tina.

-Hey.

All right? Sylv, come and sit down, I'll get you something.

What are you doing here?

I've been over to see Mick and I've organised tea.

Whole family's coming.

-What, my family?

-Yeah, your family.

-Really?

-Tina...

-Yeah, I'm coming.

-Are you going to be able to get out of here in time?

-Where's Marie?

-She's running late, apparently.

-Do you want my help?

-Oh, yes, please!

Oi. What's the plan, then? I stay here and rot to death?

Oh, just take her home. I cannot be dealing with her right now.

Oh, right. And I can?

Sorry? Listen, Son, just go, you don't have to be here.

It's best we do this in shifts anyway.

Coffee, please. Thanks.

Do me a favour. Don't buy my boy presents with drug money.

Bill, it's not what you think.

Don't even think about it, all right?

You've been dealing again, ain't ya?

What happened to the job?

What job?

The one at the garage, that Dessie bloke...

Right. So another lie.

Look, you don't get it.

Oh, I get it. I get it more than you think, Jay.

You've had them in here, ain't you, in my flat,

your little druggy mates, with my kids here?

Your kids have been at the seaside.

Don't try and be smart.

Billy, he's sorry. Aren't you, Jay?

Is he?

Only we've had this conversation before, Ben, and you swore,

you swore to me you were done with this.

I can't be dealing with this.

I'll tell you what you can and can't be dealing with.

HE SNIFFS

Oh, you are kidding me.

What?

I don't want you in my flat like this.

Like what?

Like you're on a come-down. What do you reckon, Ben?

Yeah. You said this weren't a problem.

That you were on top of things.

But Billy's right, look at you.

Get him out of my sight. Before I do something I regret.

DOOR OPENS

Everything all right?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it's fine.

- Me and Ben are just going. - Oh. OK.

They OK?

Yeah, yeah. I'll just, erm, go and help Will do his game.

Don't let Dean ruin everything,

not when you just got it all back on track.

Back on track?

With Mick, and your family.

With Mick, yeah...

..but what about Buster?

What about him?

I had a right go yesterday. He gave Dean money to leave.

He must have thought it was for the best.

Yeah, I figured that.

Sorry.

Give a rapist money to keep him out the way.

I suppose he don't know no different.

Never had much of a chance, in and out of prison.

He didn't even know he was a dad until I sprung it on him.

I'm sure he understands.

Would you? Do you?

It's hard to get your head round.

He'll try, if he loves you. If you love each other.

We're together, ain't we?

Obviously we do, otherwise it's all a waste of time.

I'm sorry, Kathy. You're only trying to help.

But it's a lot for two people to go through.

Look, I'm sorry, I've gotta go.

Don't tell her.

Cheers.

What are the girls like over there, then?

-American girls?

-Yeah.

Not a patch on your English ones.

Really?

Hey, I dunno. I'm just teasing.

About level, I'd say.

So you got a girlfriend back home, then?

No, no.

Hey, when the ladies can't resist it's hard to be tied down.

Yeah, I suppose.

So I hear it's your 16th soon.

Sweet 16.

No wonder you're asking, eh?

What?

Saw the sign.

Yeah. There's no going back now.

Take it down, that'd be going back.

Why would I do that?

Right, well, if you really have made up your mind, you should come

to the Vic later. About two o'clock. Farewell drinks.

That's a bit premature.

Celebratory then.

Celebrate what?

Your sign.

Right, that's yours, that's Janet's.

Now go and unpack your things and then maybe your dad will play

-your new game with you.

-Thanks.

Cheers.

So...

What?

Do you really think I'm stupid?

Of course I don't.

Then what's happened?

Nothing!

Oh, right, OK, first you didn't let us into the flat.

Then Jay gave Will that game thingy.

Then you shut yourself off with Jay.

Now he's sloped off across the road. What's happened?

You're imagining things.

Did he have a girl here?

-What?

-He had a girl over, didn't he?

Did you catch them in the act?

-No, I didn't.

-Well, we were away.

-I didn't!

-Bit disrespectful, though.

Honey, there wasn't any girl.

OK, then, well, what's going on?

He's just having a tough time of it, that's all.

How'd he get the money for that?

For what?

That, the game thing. Bit out the blue, isn't it?

I thought things were tight - why's he suddenly in the money?

Erm, scratchcard.

No!

Yeah, won about 300 quid, I think.

Well, he didn't say.

No, no, well, he spent all the money on that, didn't he?

Well, he didn't have to do that.

Yeah, well, you know how much he loves Will and Janet.

Yeah. He's a good kid.

Yeah.

It's just that...

Babe, seriously. I think he's just a bit hungover.

-You think?

-Yeah.

Come on. You worry too much.

Yeah.

You all right?

Yeah, you?

-Wow.

-HE WHISTLES

You've gone all out, ain't you?

Well, they say they're not a tough crowd but the Carters, they are.

Right, well, there's your fruit anyway.

Just come straight back from the supplier's so thought I'd pop round.

Thank you.

Tina not fancy helping, then?

Oh, no, she had to work, it was really busy.

What?

She's working.

Didn't really look like it.

Sorry?

Oi. Shaks. Any work today?

So, like, what sport do you play out there?

-Football.

-Oh, right, what position?

-Like you care.

-You look like a striker to me.

Not soccer. American football.

What's the difference to normal football?

It's a big difference.

Yeah, they're totally different.

I've seen it on the TV.

So, what position do I play?

Oh, erm...

Go on. Seeing as you're such a fan.

Quarterback?

-That was a lucky guess.

-Yeah!

Fancy coming for a drink?

Oh, no. I'm working.

Broad daylight. Who robs a place in broad daylight? I mean, they didn't

touch the booze, they've only done the kitchen.

-You got that done yet?

-No, I'm doing it.

Oh, don't forget to include that door in your report,

cos that was expensive.

-Dad.

-Yeah?

Right, that's, erm, that's my mum, she works here,

she was opening up this morning.

So you're not bothered, then?

I said thank you for the fruit, didn't I?

I know but you're here, doing all this work for her...

Hello, Sylv, I thought you were having a little nap.

-I don't have to tell you what I'm doing.

-No.

Leave those, all right? Your family are coming round later.

My family? You'll be lucky.

And her.

-What about her?

-Son, what is with you?

I thought one of the reasons that me and you ended was because,

you know, I didn't put you first.

Didn't treat you right. It's not like you.

It's worked out for you, hasn't it?

-I'm not trying...

-Look, I don't need this right now, Martin, OK?

This is my relationship. It's my life.

It's got nothing to do with you.

Right.

Do you want another one?

I'm trying to be nice.

I know. It's worrying.

What were you and Kathy on about? I saw you having a chinwag earlier.

Nothing.

Really? You ain't been yourself.

She was giving me some friendly advice.

Brave woman. What about?

Maybe she made me realise that you're not as bad

as I thought you were.

Shall we rehearse what we're going to say when he gets here?

-What, again?

-Yeah, we just gotta make sure we're clear.

And not nagging.

Yeah, just express our concerns.

-Calmly.

-What, you thinking of not being calm, or what?

No, no, we just want to let him know that we're worried about him.

Worried about what?

-No, we're...

-What's this?

Erm, we just wanted to express our concerns.

Yeah, calmly and rationally.

Concerns about what?

About, you know, this letting out your house thing,

and about your travel plans and, you know, pulling Kamil out of school.

-No...

-About your mid-life crisis.

Excuse me?

No-one else is calling a spade a spade, but I will.

Hang on, whatever happened to our pact?

Or doesn't that apply to something I really care about?

Travelling? Come on!

You know, I remember when I used to have really supportive friends.

Not meddling know-it-alls.

What?

"What"?

-Ian.

-After all we've been through, you bring this on us.

She wasn't to know.

Know what?

The restaurant got broken into.

When?

This morning. They took equipment from the kitchen.

-I swear, I locked up, Ian.

-It's not that, Kathy.

Well, what did they take exactly? Have you made a police report?

Yep. And they're going to want to talk to you.

-Why?

-Well, you were the one who locked up with the cameras running

and everything?

Yeah, I did, I swear!

Yeah, that's great!

It's just a shame that the camera that's supposed to be pointing

at the back door was pointing the wrong way.

We checked the footage.

You come in in the morning and you turn the camera in the kitchen away.

Police need to speak to you, and without

a supportive crime report, we're not going to be able to claim insurance.

Can I come home now?

Billy?

You have got to sort yourself out.

-Yeah, all right.

-I'm serious.

You let one more of your coked-up little mates into my flat

-and I swear...

-Oh, I didn't do anything.

Don't lie to me!

They robbed me. That's the last time I'm answering to them.

You what?

My "mates" took about 500 quid off me.

Are you kidding?

Can't be helped, can it?

What's the matter with you!

You want me to be honest and then you have a go at

me for telling the truth!

Yeah, because I thought we'd been through this already.

I thought you'd listened to me when I told you what

-I went through with drugs.

-Yes, and I heard!

No, no, you didn't.

What do you want me to say, Bill?

Look, me and Honey, we're here for you.

But she can't ever find out about any of this, Jay.

The drugs, the dealing. It's got to stop.

I know. And I'm not going to say anything.

Well, that's good.

Because it wouldn't just be the end of the road for you, Jay.

It would be for me, and all.

What happened to "no more lies", Mum?

-To being honest with your family?

-I told you, I don't know!

-I don't believe you now.

-Oh, like you can talk.

I'm trying! I mean, aren't we all trying to be better?

To put the past behind us, to move forward?

Yeah, and what exactly have I done to stop that, Ian?

You think I'm an idiot, don't you?

Talking like this isn't going to help anyone.

Yeah, Jane's right. So I don't have to listen to any more of this.

I've told you I'm sorry about the break-in and that I will talk

to the police.

There's nothing more I can do.

It's not just that.

Oh, well, what, then? What exactly have I done now, Ian?

I saw you on camera, before you turned it away.

Saw what?

You...with a man.

What?

She's got a special "friend". Haven't you, Gran?

And I know who it is.
