05/12/2016 EastEnders

I can't get Ollie's crying out my head.

When they grabbed him.

I think I dreamt about it last night.

Lee, I don't know if I'm going to feel safe at The Vic no more.

Is that stupid?

Is that stupid?

Of course you're safe at The Vic, all right?

I'll make sure of it.

Are you all right?

You ain't said much all weekend.

I'm just...

I'm just angry.

I'd better get ready.

-So are you all right to help me out later?

-Yeah.

Yeah, looking forward to it. So about, um, half two?

-Perfect.

-Good.

-Thanks very much.

-Thank you.

Peckish?

This is fuel.

Me and Vincent are going to be practising driving this morning,

and then I've got the test this afternoon.

Well, good luck on that.

Oh, I don't need it. I'm good.

But this is disgusting.

Yeah, I know. I know. What's the world coming to, eh?

I just worry about someone running through here with a baseball bat.

I mean, what am I going to do?

Lick 'em!

That's what I would do. They're all cowards.

I don't care how big they are.

£6.20, please.

-You know I heard they threatened Ollie, too.

-Really?

Listen, mate, we were just saying how sick we all feel about what happened.

-Everyone all right?

-Yeah.

Yeah, we'll be all right. Thank you.

-DISTANTLY:

-Don't make firm decisions, and don't sign any documents.

Will I have to touch his body?

No, he'll be in a coffin. Course you won't.

It ain't a horror film.

What's this?

It's Eddie's funeral tomorrow.

He doesn't know what to expect.

You all right?

Yeah.

There you go.

Right, I thought I'd get the family round tonight.

Everyone wants to see you and you're up and about, so, what do you think?

Oh, I don't want to make a big deal out of it, Sharon.

Well, no, but I want to talk about what happens

when the hospital call, you know.

You know - who's going to take you, who's going to have what kids,

how long you're going to be in there.

All right, fine.

Well, you two will be here, yeah?

Yeah. I'll tell Billy and Honey.

Ben?

Sounds fun.

So...

There's nothing to worry about at funerals.

Just a...

Just a lot of people dressed in black.

Few hymns, few speeches.

Bit boring really.

But you've got to give your mate a good send-off, ain't you, eh?

I ain't going to cry.

Well, it don't matter if you do, don't matter if you don't.

You just do whatever you feel, yeah?

World's greatest dad.

DOOR SLAMS

Hey.

What do you want for breakfast?

Shall we have something nice?

I'm going to pop over to The Vic, actually. See how everyone's doing.

-OK, but have something, yeah?

-Yeah.

Are you sure you're all right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Actually, I can't find my keys.

-Do you mind checking in the bathroom?

-In the bathroom?

-Yeah.

-I can't see them.

-I've got them. Got them!

Right, I've got to go.

Lee, wait.

Listen.

I've been going on all about me all weekend.

But what about you?

-Are you sure that you're OK to go to work?

-Yeah, I'm fine.

You did everything that you could.

Everyone did.

I'm going to look after you from now on, all right?

I'm serious.

Hey, hey! Come here!

Are you OK with this, yeah?

Oh, yeah, yeah, man.

We're going to have fun, fun and more fun, won't we, Pearl?

The both of you just go and practise your driving, OK?

Let's go and get some games, shall we?

So, a few hours from now you're going to have your driving licence.

-That's right!

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-And you're feeling confident?

-Yeah!

Then you've got nothing to worry about.

I saw Jack earlier and I said I was good.

-Yeah? You tell

-them, then. I did.

Thing is...

It's all lies.

What?

It's all lies.

I can't pass the test.

-Look at my hands. Look!

-You're joking?

-I can't do it, Denise. I just can't do it. I can't!

-Hey, hey, hey!

Look, this is just nerves, all right? You are a good driver.

Driver?! Which one is the brake?

I don't even know which one is the brake!

Then we'll practise and you'll be fine.

In two hours from now you'll be driving like a natural,

and you'll smash this test.

-It's like GCSE Maths all over again, isn't it?

-No, no, it isn't.

Listen, I have an appointment

with the midwife tomorrow.

And you are driving me there.

I'm going to kill us all, Denise.

You are driving me there!

A few lines on page four and it's all wrong.

At least they reported it.

-SHE SIGHS

-Look, can someone make Johnny a cup of tea

and check he's all right?

Give us that here.

So... How's Ollie?

Oh, he's still not sleeping right.

I mean, what if...

What?

Anyway, I've got to phone the insurance back later.

I'm trying to come up with a figure for how much we lost

by being closed all weekend.

It was weird, weren't it, people not being here?

No, no, no. What, what about Ollie? What?

SHE SIGHS

What if he's traumatised and that's why he's not sleeping?

I'm still shaky and I'm not a baby.

I'll take the day off work, eh?

-No.

-No.

Yeah, I'll help out. With the bar or with Ollie.

No, no, no, no, no. Listen, Ollie's going to be all right.

Johnny's going to be all right.

You go to work.

Honestly, I don't mind. I'll help, any way you need.

Listen, listen.

I don't know what's going on around here at the moment,

what with the kid being stabbed in school,

and the charity money being nicked and them wretches coming in here.

I mean...

What is it, what, bad luck?

At least they didn't take the new jar on Friday.

Yeah. That's decent of them, I suppose, yeah.

Listen, we're going to be all right.

We're going to be all right, because we're going to stick together.

Yeah?

All right?

I thought I'd better pop in and pay for that service you did on the car,

even though Steven's the one who's driving it.

Yeah, right.

You all right?

Your dad OK?

He's...alive.

That's 130 quid.

There you go.

You looking forward to Saturday in the Palladium?

What?

The Palladium, Saturday.

Cinderella? We're going to see the panto? Mum booked tickets.

We're all going - there's me, Jane, Steven, Lauren, Martin, Stacey.

We're all going to head up west together.

You are free, aren't you?

-Yeah. Yeah.

-Right!

See, it's not all doom and gloom.

At least not in our house.

It's no big deal.

Just maybe we should look at the next school

before we make a decision.

I don't get it.

Jack?

Please don't just disappear.

Well, there's no more to say.

I like the school, Roxy doesn't.

So on to the next one.

You still haven't really explained what you didn't like.

I don't know, all right.

I don't know, I'm just...

I'm not 100%.

Maybe we both want different things for Amy.

But we should talk.

Yeah, all right.

Jack?

-Shall we go in and talk?

-What, now?

Sorry, is something more important than Amy's school going on?

No, we're showing people round the house, that's all.

Look, why don't we do this later, at Phil's?

Yeah, that makes sense.

I'd better go in and clean up before they get here. I'll see you later.

Bye.

SHE SIGHS

All right, Mr Bean? Good weekend?

Oh, he looks like he's in a strop.

Good morning, madam, my name's Lee and I'm calling on behalf of ELGE.

-I think he's going to blow!

-Have you ever considered switching your energy provider?

Come on, it's after 10! You should be on your second call by now!

..the name of your current supplier, madam, and then I can do a calculation for you.

I'm going to be watching all of you today.

I need to get that call rate up.

..if you just tell me the name of the company...

Yes, madam, I can hold.

Well, if you've still got a headache then I am worried.

You should be lying down.

It's almost gone now and I'm bored.

SHE SIGHS

-You all right, Johnny?

-I will be.

Well, we thought we'd pop in, have a bit of lunch. Show support.

-Thank you.

-Thanks.

Look, go and lie down on the sofa

and if you need anything, just shout, all right?

Sorry.

So, erm, has Kim taken her driving test yet?

No, no, I think right about now she'll be having kittens.

Oh! I'm so glad I don't have to do that again.

And how's the play coming?

Well, yeah, the writing's all right.

It's just that Kathy says that

some more of the Walford Players have dropped out.

Oh, no. Well, I said I'd help out with the costumes.

Yeah, and Lauren's doing the design, Abi's setting up the props.

Problem is, Kathy says, apart from Patrick, we haven't got any men.

What?

Fred!

Fred?

Denise is looking for actors for A Christmas Carol.

Yeah, and Fred's one that helps Scrooge start enjoying Christmas.

-HE SIGHS

-Erm...

I'm not really in the mood, babe, to be honest with you.

-Come on, Mick, you'd be good.

-No.

No, I ain't feeling it.

-Sorry.

-No, no, it's fine.

Someone's coming to put it up tomorrow.

Yeah, looks good, Mum.

-I'll have a coffee while I wait.

-Yeah.

Bacon shouldn't be much longer.

Ian told me about the Palladium on Saturday.

-I never knew.

-Didn't you?

Oh.

What?

It's just...

I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't think you'd...

Oh.

You didn't get me a ticket.

Well, I just didn't...

No, no, forget it.

It's stupid.

Cinderella, eh?

-There's no worries.

-Oh, I'm sorry, Ben.

No, no, Ian got it wrong.

-I'll have that coffee.

-Yeah.

I've been thinking, right,

I know you want to put up the old sign,

but if you're going to change your name to Kathy Beale,

then why not make this Beales 2?

You know, like as in the restaurant is Beales 1

and this is like Beales...

Or Beales-2-Go! Get it?

Beales-2-Go.

That is brilliant.

You're changing your name?

Well, we were having a joke about it.

You're changing your name to Kathy...Beale?

Yeah.

-MOUTHS:

-Sorry.

Oh, Ronnie. Please sort your sister out before I fire her.

-What's up with you?

-Where are you going?

-Oh, erm...

Up to the shops. Jack said I should treat myself.

Are you still thinking about the school visit?

A bit.

I don't get it, the school looked fine to me.

I dunno.

You and Jack just seemed so dead set on it, so...

Is this about Amy's education, or is it about you and Jack?

I don't know.

Well, look, he's at home now.

So why don't you go and talk to him

and sort it out between the two of you?

I don't want a big bust-up at Phil and Sharon's tonight.

Just go. You're no good to me here.

-Play nice. I'll see you later.

-Bye.

-Go!

-All right.

Look, I know it's only a name,

but, well, I just can't be Kathy Sullivan any more.

It feels wrong.

But why Beale?

I don't know.

I was happy as Kathy Beale.

And everyone round here knows me as that.

-And there's Ian.

-And there's me.

You're not thinking I could be Kathy Mitchell.

That'd just be weird.

Yeah, weird.

-Oh, Ben...

-It's like you said, Mum -

it's only a name.

KNOCKING ON DOOR

All right?

So, how old's your little one, then?

Yeah, and he's walking already?

Cute!

Yeah, well, they're funny at that age, aren't they?

That's why you should sign up with us, keep his little toes warm.

All right, well, I'll get one of my team

to follow up with you later.

You two take care now.

Come here!

What's that?

-Eh?

-Hey, that's mine!

Yeah, it was in The Vic!

-Oi, oi, oi.

-What!

-What?

Save it, yeah? After work.

All right?

Hey, come on. You all right?

Those pictures.

-Oh, she didn't like them?

-Worse.

-Worse?

-She hasn't said anything!

That seems... That's...bad?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Now she's laughing at me.

-No, she's not.

-She is! With Louise.

-No! Why?

She's sent it to all her mates, and now they're all laughing at me, too.

She wouldn't do that, all right?

Why not?! I would.

What about when you were baby-sitting, right?

-She must have said something to

-you, then. I cancelled cos she didn't reply.

Well, maybe that's where you're going wrong. You just need to talk to her.

Less of that, more of that!

What if she didn't like what she saw? HE SIGHS

OK, I've never had to do this "try before you buy" thing,

all right, so I don't know, but I can bet you that...

That is not the problem.

Hey, talk to her!

Jack!

Where's Ronnie?

I told her to go up town and treat herself.

Why?

Why what?

Why are you treating her? Do you... Do you feel guilty about something?

No.

I'm a nice guy, and...

-Basically I wanted her to get out the house.

-Yeah, exactly. Exactly!

You know what, I've got paperwork to do.

So I'm going to go and make myself a nice cup of tea and get on with it.

Just tell me this, right. Tell me this!

Why can't you work with Ronnie in the house, though?

-You really have lost the plot, ain't you?

-Just answer the question.

-I'm not getting involved in another one of your dramas.

-My dramas? My dramas?!

Yes, your dramas.

It's looking like Ronnie's got herself sorted, so what are you going to do?

Throw another spanner in the works, like you always do?

-Like I always do?

-Yes, like you always do.

All right, that's going on in your head and I don't want any part of it.

Kush!

Donna! Shrimpy!

Here, Mick. You've got to see this.

She's still got her L-plates on.

I think we've had a touch here, Jack, to be fair.

I think we've had a touch here, don't you worry about that.

-Look at the parking, look at the parking.

-Look at his face.

Hold up, hold up.

Well?

CHEERING AND LAUGHTER

Denied!

Just another thing to add to my pony Christmas. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

-Congratulations.

-Yeah, well done.

I can't believe I did it! I can't!

I'm going to see you later, yeah, so that we can...

-Settle up.

-Yay!

HE LAUGHS

Don't try and stick up for him.

You never said anything after. You never said anything the next day.

You never said nothing this morning.

-Why didn't you say anything?

-Because I thought it was in my flat, all right?

-Cos you thought it was in his flat? You thought it was in your...?

-Yes.

All right, Bean Boy, you found his wallet.

-Don't act like this ain't nothing, all right?

-Ssh, all right.

What did you bring bats for? Hey, what's the matter with you?

Now my whole family are terrified.

And my brother, my baby brother can't even sleep

because of what you did.

-No, you're sick.

-What do you think happens in a robbery?

You think you just ask politely and people hand over the money?

-What was you expecting?

-I weren't expecting you to come in with bats.

It was your plan, yeah, your idea.

So don't go blaming everyone else.

Did you hear what Jack said?

"Like I always do."

Harsh.

No, it's not.

I do always ruin everything for Ronnie.

You care about her.

Yeah, maybe.

Or maybe I really am a full-on, jacked up, psycho nightmare.

Well, that is true.

Come on, Rox. This ain't you.

I'm poison.

I don't want her to be happy.

Don't say that!

I'm always waiting to set off some bomb.

Can't you see what this is?

You're making out like you're OK

with your daughter going away with them, but you're not.

You're not!

This is what this is.

You're not a nightmare, Rox.

You're a mum.

Right.

So that's 1,255 quid each, boys.

Result!

I can't think about money now.

Don't worry about it. What's done is done.

I ain't going to be able to forget this though, am I?

So what you saying - you don't want your cut?

Well, bad news. You ain't getting your cut.

-All you had to do was stick to the plan. Whitney could've recognised me.

-It didn't work out, did it?

-You didn't do your part, so no money.

-You can't do that!

-Yeah?

I didn't do this all for nothing!

It seems that way.

Come on.

HE SOBS

Billy can't come.

He's got too much on with Eddie's funeral tomorrow.

-Roxy and Jack are going to be here in a bit.

-OK.

Ben?

Your guess is as good as mine.

So, what's all this about?

Well, we wanted everyone around

to say that we're going to need your support with Phil's operation.

Before, during and after.

Of course. We'd be happy to help. What do you need?

Well, we should talk about who's going to drive Phil to the hospital,

you know, depending on what time the call comes,

and, well, who can look after Denny, stuff like that.

Well, I can do that.

Have we got any idea how long you've got to wait?

They don't give a figure.

He's given a score and then he goes up and down the list, depending.

Is it weeks? Is it months?

Jay, there are no guarantees.

None at all.

Well, it's good to see you up and about, Phil.

Guess it's a question of waiting, I suppose?

Yeah.

Look, and there is no more booze allowed in this house, yeah?

Phil needs to remain sober before and after the operation.

It's life or death.

I am really proud of you.

And you, Sharon.

-SLURRED:

-Yeah, and I'm proud, too!

Dad's done a bang-up job of staying sober.

-Ben!

-You're drunk. Classy.

I've had a few, yeah. I have.

My dad's getting a new liver.

My mum's getting a new name.

It's all change, but where...

-where does that leave me, eh?

-Ben! Ben, it's nice that you're here,

but maybe you should go upstairs and clean up, yeah? We'll talk in a bit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Better get these beers away from Dad.

Or he might smash up the car lot.

-Ben, enough!

-Or he'll smash up The Arches!

This year's been a riot, ain't it?

Thanks, Dad. You deserve another liver.

This is ridiculous.

Ben, don't you think you should have made an effort for your dad?

Sobered up, got changed?

Oh! We are all looking very smart, aren't we?

Looks like I'm the black sheep again.

Which is funny, cos it's him that keeps walking out on us.

-That's enough, Ben!

-Come on. Let's go somewhere else.

No! I'm here now.

Family gathering.

Yeah, well, he's making a big mess of things here.

Yeah, OK, thank you.

-Hey.

-Hey.

I want to say something. And don't be mad, OK?

Just listen.

Erm...

I'm really not happy about Amy moving away, OK?

-Come on, let's just sit down and...

-No, just listen, just listen.

I know it's going to happen and I don't want to stop it.

It's just not easy, OK, that's all I'm saying.

It's not easy.

I suppose I was kidding myself,

thinking that you'd go along with it.

Ron, look it's...

It's why I've been acting like such an idiot all day.

And I'm sorry, OK?

I just really don't want to be the mum...

who gave away her kid.

You will never be that.

You know, you're going to have a lot of money once number 27 sells.

Why don't you buy somewhere, too?

Somewhere near us.

In Ongar?

-You don't have to say it like that!

-No, I don't mean that.

I mean, you don't want me hanging around.

Why not?

The closer, the better.

Seriously?

Yeah.

Well, within reason.

Well, I'll get a granny flat.

No, I'm joking. A couple of streets down?

Yeah. Yeah. I mean that works for us, doesn't it?

Do you really mean this?

Yes!

Hello.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

one and all, all and one, yeah.

So, we're here to celebrate and to collect our winnings.

Please.

Thanking you.

And you know what makes this so perfect?

That the ONLY people who believed in me,

and put their money where their mouths were, were my family.

-Patrick and Vincent.

-Amen.

Hallelujah!

-As they say, the best woman won.

-Yes!

But Kim did need a man to teach her.

Oh, you see now, I ain't rising to that, because we had a chat earlier.

Linda, are you still doing that collection for the hospital?

Yeah, we are.

OK, then this is for the pot.

Seriously?

Well, I got what I wanted.

That is amazing, thank you. Ain't it, Whit?

What are you doing here?

Ronnie called. She said you were causing trouble.

Ben, I didn't mean to upset you.

You didn't think about me at all.

In all honesty, Ben, it's just a name. And it's my name.

My choice.

You were happy as a Beale. That's what you said. Happy then.

-Before me.

-No.

Before I came along. Now you want to wind back the time.

You're making too much out of all this!

No! You're with the Beales.

And Dad don't want me in HIS family.

So, where does that leave me?

Where's MY family?

It's all around you, Ben.

I almost had my own family. Right there in my hand.

With Paul.

That was mine.

And now I've got nothing.

And a rum for you, Patrick.

Thank you. Thanks, man. Where's the collection pot?

Wow, nice to see Scrooge making a donation.

Yeah.

You know, there is still that part to be filled in in the play, Fred.

He's a kind of a happy-go-lucky kind of guy.

-Mick?

-Oh, you wouldn't mind, would you, Mick?

I know you don't feel like it now. But in a few days' time,

when we're all on the mend, and Christmas is coming?

-Yeah, yeah, all right, all right, I'll do it.

-Yeah, man!

CHATTER AND LAUGHTER FROM PUB

It's Jack!

(Listen, have you booked the honeymoon yet?)

Yep, all done. I reckon she's going to love it. Thanks.

No, I really enjoyed it.

But, listen, don't tell her that I helped you.

Much more romantic if she thinks you've done it all by yourself.

-All right. Just our little secret.

-Yeah.

-Hey.

-You all right, chaps?

-I've just got an e-mail.

Those people have put in an offer on number 27.

You're joking!

No, I never expected that.

-What do you think?

-Whoa! Well, we can't say no, can we?

That's what I thought. I mean, I think we should call and accept.

So, this is really happening, is it?

-Yeah, Ongar here we come.

-Wait.

-What?

-I just think we should think about it.

-Why?

Why? This is a great offer.

We might not get anything else like it.

Ron...

I think something's going on between Jack and Honey.

LINDA SOOTHES BABY

# He's on his way He's on his way... #

-Oh!

-Sorry!

-Lee, you scared me half to death!

-Sorry, I'm sorry.

-It's all right. It's all right.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

-Don't be stupid, it's fine. I'm all right.

-I'm so sorry.

Come here. Come here. We're all a bit jumpy.

That's all it is. All right, we're going to be fine.

OK? And those scumbags are going to get what's coming to them.

OK? Don't be silly. It's all right.
