-BEEPING

-Oh, I say!

Oi, I thought I told you I didn't want you hanging around with him?

Yeah, but it's not his fault that Denise went mental, is it?

You sure about that?

Because from where I was standing, she only gave as good as she got.

You got any headache pills? It's for my head injury.

Head injury, my foot! She was provoked.

Let's see if the magistrate agrees with you.

I've got a good mind to go out there and handcuff myself to the railings.

And what good's that going to do?

This is a miscarrying of justice.

You do know who you are, don't you?

Walford's very own Nelson Mandela.

-Nelson Mandela?

-I ain't having it, Dee.

Look, if you're going to go down,

they're going to have to take me and Patrick as well.

-Sit down and stop making a show of yourself.

-Mind yourself.

Yeah, yeah, but Kim's got a point, though.

I mean, we shouldn't be here, should we?

You saw what happened. I shouldn't have let him get to me.

He vandalised Jane's bush. You had every right to clump him.

Not in the eyes of the law.

They ought to give that Keegan a shovel and make him dig up

the garden himself.

He's not going to care. It's not a home to him.

It's just a place to kill time after school, ain't it?

Me and you.

We're going to go down fighting, you remember that.

Whatever you say.

They do have TVs in prison, don't they?

Are you sure you're all right, Grandma?

Apart from the ladies popping up with no bras, you mean?

Bradley - he taught me how to do the Google.

I'm very well versed in the wide world web, I'll have you know, Abi.

What are you looking for?

Flowers.

Stacey and Jane's helping. I want new flowers for the gardens

which them hooligans ransacked.

DOORBELL RINGS

That'll be your Uncle Jack. Will you let him in?

He's taking me to the garden centre. Ta.

MUSIC BLARES

Oh, no, we don't want that.

You ready for our trip out, Dot?

There you go.

Thank you, Abi.

Yes, I've made a list. Thank you ever

so much for offering to foot the bill, Jack.

It's times like these when the community has to pull together.

It's only a couple of plants.

I mean, poor Denise.

She's up before the beat for attempting to keep the peace.

I don't know what the world's coming to.

Oh, and I've come across an atlas of your father's.

You know, I thought it would help you plan the route.

Yeah, well, there's no need. It's all planned in there.

What's that? One of them transistors?

No. It's a sat nav, Grandma.

What?

Does all the thinking for you.

-Oh, does it?

-PHONE RINGS

Well, I think I'll take the atlas with me, just in case.

Jack Branning.

When?

HE SIGHS

Yeah, all right, I'll be right over.

-Ricky's been sick in assembly.

-Oh, no.

-We're going to have to postpone this trip.

-Oh, never mind.

Can you hold on to Matthew and I'll pick him up on the way back?

-Course I will.

-Cheers, Dot.

Oh, Jack, you've left your gadget here...

Oh, dear.

So are you going to see Bex again?

You're going to be late for school.

There's plenty of time yet.

I don't know. It depends.

On what?

I like to keep my options open.

I wouldn't wait around.

She's had most of the boys in Year 11.

Er, that's my niece you're talking about.

All right. Keep your wig on.

I've got to admit, she's pretty hot.

She's not...all that.

And we've got the same interests, you know. Music and films...

Dennis. Would you go and get your schoolbag?

See this last girl I was seeing was just a little bit older.

She came with all this baggage.

What happened to her?

I got sick of her messing me around.

Right, that's it.

You either leave now or I'm going to call Sharon.

Like she's coming back off holiday for you.

-Talk about menopausal.

-What was that?

Come on, Dennis. Time to go.

Hold up. I'll come with you.

Where are you going?

I'll do my thing. You do yours.

What time is it?

It is...08.35.

Well, I'm going to ring them just to check it's coming today.

Just relax, will you? It'll be here.

Look at us, eh? Living in one room.

It's like living back in the homeless shelter.

Well, today that's going to change, ain't it?

Cos today, this place becomes a home.

KNOCK AT DOOR

This is it!

You don't think we should've got something cheaper, do you?

You want this place looking nice, don't you?

Yeah, well, you know, it's just that we ain't got any plates or forks.

Or anywhere to sit.

I never thought I'd hear myself say this but I'm starting

to miss Sharon.

You know, you put a cup down and the next thing,

it was washed up and in the cupboard. It was like magic.

Who needs chairs and tables

when we've got this little beauty?!

Priorities, Jay. Priorities.

You know everyone at school's talking about her?

It's just as well she's got you as her best friend, right?

Talk of the devil.

I'll catch you later.

All right?

You all right?

Not really.

Why? What's happened?

You know, I've been in London for over

a week and I still haven't been on that big wheel.

You mean the London Eye?

Is that an offer?

I've got school.

This is educational, isn't it? Come on.

You'd rather hang with those plastics than me?

-If my dad finds out I'm...

-You ever watched Ferris Bueller?

-No.

-Well, that's something else we can do today.

Can I borrow your phone for just a second?

Wait. What are you doing? Preston, no, no!

Preston! No.

Hello, mate. This is Martin Fowler here...

I'm afraid my daughter Rebecca won't be in today. All right, mate.

Stop, stop, Give it back.

Looks like transatlantic relations are improving.

Have they? I hadn't noticed.

Can I... Can I ask you something?

I really should be getting back...

How do I seem to you?

How do you mean?

When you look at me, do you think I'm unhealthy?

You look fine, Ian.

You see? And that from a woman with a university degree.

'Current location - Albert Square.'

Hello. My name is Branning. Dorothy Branning, Mrs.

I don't think she can hear you, Grandma.

Who is she?

She's just a voice from the computer, isn't she?

But how does she know where I am?

Well, it's all controlled by satellite.

What, you mean she's up there in space?

I suppose.

'Please enter your destination.'

A very polite woman, isn't she?

What are you doing with it anyway?

Nothing.

I was just sitting here minding my own business and all of

a sudden she started talking to me.

I think it's best you probably just switch it off.

I'll see you later.

Don't eat no crisps on the way home.

Cos I've got a couple of chops for your evening meal.

Hello...

'Please enter your destination.'

The garden centre, please. It's just off the ring road.

I just think it's ridiculous.

To think she'd have to come here for this.

I'll try my very best to sort this out once and for all.

Excuse me, Your Honour.

Kim, Kim...

What? It's all right, Pops. I've seen LA Law and The Good Wife.

I know what I'm doing.

And you are?

Kimberley Fox-Hubbard. Attorney to the Defence.

Kim. Kim. Sit down.

You do know that she's doing a GCSE? Poetry, books and that.

A proper brainbox is our Denise.

I suggest either you sit down now or I'll have you removed from court.

You can take our lives, but you will never take our freedom!

Innit, Dee?

I'm going down.

In view of your guilty plea and the minor nature of the assault,

the sentence will be a conditional discharge of

a period of 12 months.

12 months?! You hear that, Pops?

They're going to lock her up.

Kim, Kim, she is free to go.

That is assuming you keep your big mouth shut.

You will pay compensation to the victim in the sum of £50.

That's a disgrace.

You are also required to pay £135

towards the cost of the case as well as

a victim surcharge of £20.

A victim surcharge?

So he can go around tearing up gardens,

but I'm the one that's got to pay compensation?

You cannot take the law into your own hands.

Even if you were provoked.

Is that the price you pay for taking pride in your community, is it?

The total outstanding is £205.

Can this be paid today?

Kim, pay the woman. Cos I'm done here.

Plastic any good?

DOOR BUZZER

Hello?

Yeah, come in.

What are you all doing here?

Well, we thought we'd give you a hand packing up.

Right, a pity party, more like.

You're joking, ain't you? You've got some good stuff here.

I thought I'd nab the best bits.

Look, Whit, Lee might be gone. But we're still here.

Yep. And we ain't going anywhere.

What do you want me to do with this?

Bin it.

It's not like it brought me any good luck, is it?

I get to choose what we watch on Monday, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

And you get to choose all the other nights.

Yes, but don't you think we should be sorting the cleaning and

stuff out first?

That's why we're getting people in. They can do all that.

We're going to be landlords, Jay.

We've got to start making our own rules.

Erm, shouldn't you be at work?

Yeah, but we had to wait for a delivery this morning, didn't we?

That reminds me.

I've got a yucca plant for you back at home.

I can go back and get it if you like.

The thing is...we've still got some unpacking to do.

Well, you can still unpack, can't you?

-And I can spring-clean the place.

-Oh, would you? That would be...

Actually, Mum. It's all sorted now.

Another time, though, yeah?

OK. Suit yourself.

What are you doing?

This is our pad. We do it our way.

Double espresso, please. And a bacon sarnie on brown.

You can't be hungry, Ian?

You only had your breakfast a couple of hours ago.

I've done an entire stock-take since then.

Do you know, he always had a big appetite.

He used to go crazy for my banana Angel Delight.

I do not have a big appetite!

Says the man on his second breakfast of the day.

-On brown.

-What difference does that make?

Mum, if I want your input, I'll ask for it.

I hope you gave them what for.

50 quid fine, criminal record and court fees.

All you were doing was protecting our property.

Yeah, well, you try telling that to the magistrate.

Yeah, it still doesn't give you the right to assault someone though,

-does it?

-It does in my book.

Look, I don't like the boy. But he is just a kid.

Er. Excuse me. Whose side are you on?

No. Carmel's right. I should never have hit him.

I blame the parents myself.

Don't have a pop at me.

It's got to come from somewhere, though, hasn't it?

-What's that supposed to mean?

-Well, if they don't learn respect at home,

how else are they supposed to learn it?

For goodness' sake, Denise...

I think I'm going to get back to my stall.

-Yeah. I'll come with you.

-This is our home.

Maybe there are some more important things in the world.

Such as?

All I'm saying is, you have been through so much this year.

Oh, don't you dare pull that one on me!

All I'm saying is, you should be thinking about you.

-Whatever happened to giving back?

-That is not what I meant.

Maybe the graffiti on the Vic was right.

We should send the Poles home.

With any luck they'll take me with them.

'At the next junction, turn left.'

Thank you.

She's ever so well spoken, ain't she, Matt?

I don't suppose your daddy, he's talked to you about Lent, has he?

No, of course he won't have done, you're far too little.

It's all about Jesus, you see. Giving up his life for us.

You know, so we could be let into heaven.

So, we have to give up something for him.

You're such a good boy. Sitting there in your special seat.

Your real daddy, he'd be ever so proud of you.

Let's have some music, shall we?

-MUSIC STARTS

-There we are...

What do you mean, they're getting close?

I'm just saying you need to keep an eye on her, that's all.

Preston seems like a nice kid. And anyway,

Bex isn't going do anything stupid, is she?

It's just...he can be a little impetuous at times.

'Chelle, you're using long words again.

Hot-headed. He's immature, Martin.

Anything's got to be better than what she was seeing before.

Something you want to say, Martin?

No. Nothing you haven't heard already.

Michelle. I've been looking for you.

-Look, I saw this in the Gazette earlier.

-What's that?

It's a teaching job for the local college.

-Sounds right up your street.

-I'll look at it later.

You want to hurry up, the closing date's tomorrow.

I said I'd look at it, didn't I?

-Everything all right, 'Chelle?

-Yeah, yeah, fine.

Look, don't worry about Bex.

If she has to be with someone, I'd rather it was Preston.

-I can't believe you're scared of heights.

-I'm not.

Then why wouldn't you go near the edge?

Because I didn't want to spoil the view for you.

I got you a little present.

You are such a kid.

OK, well, if you don't want him, I'll...

I never said that. I never said that.

Come here, give it, give it, give it.

No, no, no.

What is it?

It's too soon...

If this is what those girls are saying in school, just ignore them.

You're beautiful. You know that?

Shaks was mad to let you go.

Oh, look, look, Matthew, look at all the lovely flowers,

just waiting to burst into life when it's the start of spring.

TROLLEY CRASHES

Oh, I say, I hope we didn't dent nothing.

Quick.

Now we've got everything, haven't we?

Look, we've got our little daffodils and our pansies. Oh, I love pansies.

Ooh, what a handsome boy!

He's my great-grandson.

Oh! This is my husband Bob.

Oh, how do you do?

You don't look old enough.

My Auntie Gwen, she swore by soap and water.

None of these fancy moisturisers for her.

Have you come for a day out at the garden centre?

We drove here, didn't we, Matthew?

With the help of that nice lady in the box.

You know, the one what guides me from space.

I think you're a marvel driving anywhere at your age.

Age? Oh, it's just a state of mind.

Anyway, I'm thinking of driving to Scotland in a few weeks' time.

Visit my friend Nigel and his daughter Claire.

The less said about her, the better.

We'd better get back home, hadn't we?

I promised him a slice of my Victoria sponge. Bye-bye.

-Bye-bye.

-Now where do we go?

It's funny, ain't it? I thought I had everything three months ago.

I had a husband, I had this flat.

Now everything I own is in that box.

I could kill Lee for this.

Maybe he's done me a favour. He's moved on with his life.

Maybe I've just got to do the same.

You never know, Mr Right might be just around the corner.

No, I'm done with men.

I don't mean women either.

THEY LAUGH

I just want some time by myself, you know?

Do you want us to wait while you finish up?

No, you're all right. Go on, you go.

I'm just going to take a moment to say goodbye on my own.

What is wrong with everyone, Patrick?

When did people stop caring?

People still care.

It's just that they have different priorities, that's all.

Just looking out for number one.

It's not like everyone else is fighting for them, is it?

So what are we supposed to do?

We let the bullies win, do we?

No, no, no, there are other ways to fight, you know.

That graffiti outside the Vic. Does that remind you of anything?

Remember those signs they used to stick up in the windows?

"No Irish, no blacks, no dogs."

I'd like to think that things have moved on since then.

Have they? Because I don't see much acceptance out there.

Yeah, well, people are angry.

They've got every right to be.

But surely that should mean we'd be pulling together?

You know, those gardens, Patrick, they were

a chance for people to have some sort of pride.

No matter what else was going on in the world,

right here there was something...beautiful.

Yeah, you tried your best.

And we failed.

Maybe... Maybe Carmel is right, you know.

Maybe it's time that you focus on you.

OK, not you as well.

I... I know you're grieving.

Not in the conventional way, but a loss just the same.

Oh, please don't.

Please let someone else take up the fight now, man.

PHONE RINGS

Jay. Right, listen. What other stuff have you found?

Cos I was thinking we could really do with some cushions.

All right, calm down!

You're where? I can't hear you, mate.

You sound all muffled.

All right, just stay where you are, yeah?

I'll be there in a minute. All right? OK, just calm.

Five minutes, boys.

Bye, flat.

Ben, I can't move my arms.

Get me out! Come on.

What you waiting for?

-Stop wriggling, will you?

-What are you doing?

Shut up and get me out.

Jay's found a couple of teaspoons at the bottom of your bin.

You don't mind, do you?

Er, hello? Oh, mate, honestly, it's really hurting now.

-It's really hurting.

-No, go on, take what you like.

Any chance you could stop yakking and get me out?

Yeah, all right! All right. Whit, give us a hand, will you?

-Hang on, Jay.

-You ready, bruv?

It's all right, here she comes!

THEY LAUGH

He's got his spoons. Brilliant!

It's not funny.

It is funny.

I come down the stairs and your legs are sticking up, like that.

This is what happens when I let him convince me to buy

a flatscreen telly.

-Where are you going?

-For a shower!

How are you doing?

Not you, an' all. Why can't everyone just leave me alone, eh?

Because they care, Whit.

Yeah.

How did you do it? After Paul, I mean.

Whit, you just learn to take each day as it comes.

You've just got to look forward, haven't you?

I hope so.

You better be at our house-warming.

LORD OF THE DANCE ON RADIO

-'Turn around where possible.'

-SHE SINGS ALONG

'Turn around where possible.'

# Dance, then, wherever you may be

# I am the lord of the dance, said he

# And I'll lead you all wherever you may be

# And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he... #

-Cheers for the 50 quid.

-Bruv, just leave it, man.

I'm going to get me some new trainers.

You know, your mother must be so proud of you.

She's dead, actually.

Oh... I'm sorry.

Your face! Mug!

Is that the Walford Gazette?

Yeah, I'd like to speak to one of your reporters, please.

Oh, gosh, Denise!

You're wrong, Patrick. This is my fight.

Applying for that new job, are you?

You see? It's all about positive thinking.

TEXT ALERT

Sorry, Kath.

You all right, Ian? What you having?

-A beer, please, Mick.

-And a bag of cheese and onion?

Why do you say that?

That's what you usually have.

-No, just the beer today, please.

-Oh, OK.

Listen, can I, erm, ask you a question, man to man?

Why don't I like the sound of this?

Do you think I've put weight on?

Well, you're big boned, do you know what I mean?

Come on. Be honest.

Yeah, no, you have put a bit of timber on, yeah,

but you know what, it happens to the best of us.

That's why I'm out there every morning, having a jog, you know.

-You look all right to me.

-You ain't seen me naked.

You know, without my L about...I'm getting a lot less exercise,

you know what I mean?

That makes two of us.

I'm sorry. I weren't thinking.

I just enjoy my food, don't I.

I mean, it's not a crime, is it?

No!

Listen, you're on this Earth once, you munch away, you munch away.

You, erm, saw me in the changing rooms

when we went swimming together, yeah?

Erm...

I weren't looking. I weren't really.

Yeah, but if you didn't know me, right,

and you...and you copped an eyeful...

I mean...

..would you be interested?

Erm...

Oh, here he is. Where you been? Chips. Your chips, an' all.

We'll pick this conversation up and finish it off...

GIGGLING

What are you doing home?

'Turn around where possible.

'Turn around where possible.'

I can't turn around.

'Turn around where possible.

-'Turn around where possible.'

-Oh, shut up, you're confusing me.

'At the next junction, turn right.'
