0:00:24 > 0:00:26- She ain't going to school. - Why, what's wrong with her?
0:00:26 > 0:00:28It's her time of the month, she'll be fine.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31- I'll ring them and tell them she ain't coming in.- Yeah, all right.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33- I've got to get to work, so...- Right.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- See you in a bit. - You have a good day.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Bex?
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Yeah?
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- Do you want anything? - No, I'm fine.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45OK.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54PHONE BEEPS AND VIBRATES
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Got that, yeah. No. No.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Why aren't you with Mum?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08I've put her in front of a film.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Oh, what, so she's on her own? - She's fine, all right?- Yeah. OK.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Has he told Linda about the roof yet?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16No, he hasn't. And he won't be, not until it's sorted.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20That was the bank geezer. He's going to be here about half past five.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Right, so I'll put my best smile on then.- We want money, not a date.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25It'll be all right, won't it?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Aren't banks always looking to support small businesses?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Who made you Karren Brady all of a sudden?
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Well, look, they wouldn't give me a loan for Lee's debts.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35So if this don't work I will be selling me kidneys online.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37That is if they've got Wi-Fi in the nick.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38It'll be all right, OK?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41We just have to make sure we've got everything ready he needs to see,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and be prepared for any questions that he has to ask us.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Yeah, yeah.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Well, I'd better get this gaff open, earn some readies, eh?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I swear she wags her tail whenever he calls.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Maybe you should spend less time making snide comments
0:01:57 > 0:01:59and just be glad that she's helping him.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Kathy said to be there any time after half five.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06All right. I'll just get there as soon as I can.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- I'll go straight from work. - It's Ian's birthday drinks.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11You've got to go home and put a clean shirt on at least.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13You can't turn up smelling of cauliflower.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15It's the Vic, Stace. I could go there smelling of sewers
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- and no-one would know.- Well,- I'll - know! Go home and shower first.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20- Yes, boss.- Michelle...
0:02:22 > 0:02:25When were you going to tell me about this evening?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- What about it?- Birthday drinks for Ian at the Vic.- You're not going.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31You going all strict teacher mode on me?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I mean it. You stay away from the pub and stop trying to worm
0:02:34 > 0:02:36your way into my family.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I'm her sister,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45what does she think I'm going to do if I find out who the dad is?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47What, go and shout it out in the square?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Kim, she's had a very hard week.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Even more reason why she can't deal with it by herself.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55She needs to tell the dad.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Perhaps she already has.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02If it's someone that she sees every day.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Someone on the square.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Kim, if she wanted you to know who the father is,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08she would have told you.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17You do know it's ten to one, don't you, not half past nine at night.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I didn't want you getting confused.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Haven't you got a delivery to do?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Yep, my last one and then I'm jacking it in.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Oh, and all the pedestrians in Walford will sigh with relief.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30You working tonight?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32No, Tracey and Johnny are. I'm not needed.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Right, well, then seeing as you're free,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I want you to come home so we can talk about Mum's birthday.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- On the 7th.- That's next week.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42It's her 75th, Shirley. How can you not know that?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I don't know my own birthday, why would I bother with hers?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I'll be in all night.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Right, I'm going to get off work early,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59make sure I'm there to buy my dad his first birthday drink. Um...
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Yeah, I don't really fancy going out tonight.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Since when? This was your idea. - Yeah, but I've changed my mind.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05I mean, my birthday's been and gone.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Oh, shut up, everyone's looking forward to it.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Oh, yeah, but it's just birthday drinks, isn't it?
0:04:10 > 0:04:11I mean, it's no big deal.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13People buying you birthday drinks all night?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- It's your kind of do.- Since when have you turned down a free drink?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Um, Lauren. I mean, you haven't got a baby-sitter, have you?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21She's already said she doesn't mind not coming, haven't you?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Yeah. Yeah, honestly you go, have an orange juice for me.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28See? Right, so no more talk of not going, OK?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31It's going to be a top night, I'll make sure of that.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40So, how's Whitney doing, with Lee gone?
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Good, yeah. She's just throwing herself into things at the Vic.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50She's even got me making notes on this meeting we've got later
0:04:50 > 0:04:51with the bank manager.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54What, Whitney's head's back in the right place, is it?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Yeah, yeah, it is. Yeah.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59- I'll see you later, yeah?- See ya.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Mick?- Why not?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Well, I would, but...nah.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- There's no way Mick would ever cheat on Linda.- Mm.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- What about Billy Mitchell? - Oh, come on.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Jack Branning?- No.- Yeah!
0:05:21 > 0:05:24No, I don't see it. Ronnie was his life.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26He had a kid with her sister.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27And her cousin. Just saying.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29You're clutching at straws.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32It's someone local. Who could it be?
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- Well, whoever it is, she's got a big reason for not telling.- Hm.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44I'll see you later, Carmel.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I had Sharon on the phone this morning,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52she couldn't log in to see which school Dennis has been allocated.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- Oh, what, is that today? - Yeah. I did it for her.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57She weren't too happy. He's got Walford High.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59First choice was King Edward.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Walford High's a good school.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03It's been great for Bex, she's worked hard. I'm proud of her.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Here you are.- Cheers, Tina. - Thank you.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10I suppose it don't matter what school you go to, does it?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12It's just all about who you get mixed up with.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I'm just not crazy about her hanging about with this Louise.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Louise who was a Fowler, brought up by Mark?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20No, she's all right, she's had a lot to deal with.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Yeah.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25I suppose with teenagers you get drama no matter what, don't you?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Yeah...
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Preston was banging on this morning about some girl from home.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34He sounded all, like, proper loved up with her,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37but something went wrong. He didn't say what.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40They can't be together, and they got ripped apart,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- all that sort of young love stuff. - Yeah, it happens.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Won't he already have looked at the accounts?- Yeah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I just... I want everything ready for him, you know?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I just want him to see this as a blip, you know,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54like a cash-flow problem. Cos that's what this is.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Yeah, and he's going to see that. - Yeah, I know, it's just that Konrad,
0:06:56 > 0:06:58he wants cash today.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02You know, so I need the bank to sort this, you know?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04That way I can give him some of the takings.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Because I'll know I got more coming in.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Do you think you'll get an answer today?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I hope so. I hope so.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I mean, I just don't want anything to mess this up.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Well, I'm hardly going to help, am I?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Look at the state of me. I look like someone's chucked up
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- all over me. - We can sort that, hold on.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- What are- you- wearing? A suit? - Yeah, course I am.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Well, I can't look like this, can I? I don't want to let you down.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Shut up. What's that? - Look at the state of it!
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- It's only a little... What is it? - Soup.- ..soup.- Stick this on.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- That's your mum's.- So? She won't mind. She never wears it. Put it on.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- There you go.- Really?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Is that all right?- Yeah, bang on.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58So...
0:07:59 > 0:08:02..are you going to let me buy you a drink then?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Oh, Kim, look, I don't want to fall out over this.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Me neither.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11So we're OK?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Another one, please, Tracey.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Right, I'll get the drinks in. I tell you what,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- shall we pull those tables together there?- Yeah, all right.- Cool.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Right, what are you having? - Bottle of beer, please.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30It's your birthday. You have to have something livelier
0:08:30 > 0:08:32than a bottle of beer. How about whisky?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34MOBILE PHONE BEEPS All right, make it a double.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40Ben. He's stuck at the Arches. He says he'll be here for a late one.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Do you know what, he'll do anything to get out of buying me
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- a drink.- Happy belated birthday. - Oh, thank you. Ooh, Denise...
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I was thinking about you earlier.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Really, why?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Yeah, I was sorting a few things out. You know, will...
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Your will?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Yeah, I was just putting things in order. And I was...
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Well, you and me, and...
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I'd really like you to have something.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I remembered that mug you really liked,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- the one that said "keep on smiling".- OK...
0:09:09 > 0:09:11So I was going to let you have that.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- I'll sort it all out.. - Yeah. Yeah, course.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22A couple of beers, please. Bottles...
0:09:22 > 0:09:23What was all that about?
0:09:23 > 0:09:28- A bit random. Thinking of me in his will.- Oh, yeah?
0:09:28 > 0:09:29And I'm getting a mug.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Least it weren't the oven gloves.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Why don't you just go to Ian's thing?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- I'm not sure I want to go.- Well, you can't stay cooped up for ever.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47It's unfair, you having to stay here looking after the kids.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48I honestly don't mind.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52I've seen enough of Ian recently to last me a lifetime.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Go on, you go. Have fun. Spend some time with your dad.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05TV BLARES
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Am I having my tea?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09You've had your tea, Mum.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10It's that programme you like.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23She can't even remember if she's eaten.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25She ain't going to worry about her birthday.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I just thought we could do something nice for her, like a tea party
0:10:27 > 0:10:30with sandwiches and cakes.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32A party?
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Yeah, really make a fuss of her.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36And play some old music that she'll remember.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Where are you going to have it? - I don't know. In the Vic?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Well, assuming Mick's still in there,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43if Whitney don't mess up this bank meeting.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- I should be over there with him. - Yeah, well, you're not,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49you're here with me and I want to talk about Mum.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- It's her 75th birthday. - Fine, tea party. Done.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55What is your problem with this?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I don't have a problem with this. You're making such a fuss,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- you're wasting your time. - I'm not wasting my time!
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Fine, tell her it's her birthday today,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04tell her again tomorrow, cos she won't have a clue.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- And what about the moment? - What moment?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12She might not remember what day it is exactly but she's still here,
0:11:12 > 0:11:15she still smiles and enjoys things.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18So who are we to say what stuff stays with her?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20When she's in there now, watching telly,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22how do we know what's going on in her head?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24What little things she might be remembering.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28But say if she's not remembering any little things.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31And she's sitting in there and everything's blank?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Well, then that's just how it is.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39But it doesn't change the fact that she's our mum and this might be
0:11:39 > 0:11:41the last birthday we ever get to spend with her.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- You'll all have another drink? - Oh, yes, please.- Course we are.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- You feeling all right?- I'm fine.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Remember when we took that vodka to that party in a lemonade bottle.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55We got totally wrecked before we even got there.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57What do they call it these days? Preloading?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Whose party was it?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01As his mum, do I really want to hear this?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I don't know if I want to hear about this as his wife.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- Mandy Mills.- Mandy Mills. That's it. Sharon was so drunk.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11She was trying to get off with this boy and she ended up
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- chucking up all over him.- Oh!
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Fingers crossed the birthday boy avoids that little treat
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- for me tonight, please. - Hey! Here he is. You joining us?
0:12:20 > 0:12:21I don't want to gate-crash.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Oh, don't be stupid. Look, room for one more.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25It's OK, I can stand.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28No, no, no. There's plenty of room there between Bex and 'Chelle.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Come on, Michelle, budge up.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31What about you then, Bex,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34do you do this preloading thing before you go to parties?
0:12:34 > 0:12:35I'm keeping out of this.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Yeah, Bex's too sensible. Plenty of time ahead of her for that.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Yeah, you want to listen to your father.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42You don't want to go growing up too quick.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43I mean, look at me and 'Chelle.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- We were young. I mean, we were stupid.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51We really appreciate you coming out to see us.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54It's not a problem. It's always best to see the business first-hand.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56You must be Mrs Carter.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- Oh! No, she is, but she's not- the- Mrs Carter.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- She's my daughter-in-law. - Oh!- I'm Whitney.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Justin Fairbrass. Hi.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- You want to go and have a little pot over there.- Yeah. Thank you.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Yeah, er... My wife Linda's away at the moment.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Whitney's family - it's a family-run business - that's why she's here.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Yeah, it's OK.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22So let's see what's what and how the bank can help, hm?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24OK, yeah.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28It's just a short-term cash-flow problem really.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29It's easily sorted.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I mean, you see the boozer, it was rammo.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34It's always like that, ain't it, Whit?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Oh, always. We do a lot of functions, promotions, parties,
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- and stuff like that. So it's never quiet.- No, no, no.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I've got all the paperwork out that you'd need, you know,
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- sort of order books, annual accounts.- Yeah, it's all on here...
0:13:50 > 0:13:52..so this should be fairly swift and straightforward, really,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Oh.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58TYPING ON LAPTOP
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Steven's round.- That's personal.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Oh, come on, come on, it's his birthday,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08you have to make allowances.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Come on, me and Mum thought it was funny, didn't we, Mum?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Mum, don't leave me hanging.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Oh! I didn't know it was party night.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17We're going to be doing the conga line in a minute.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Can I get another glass, please, Trace?
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Yeah, I'll bring it over.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- So one-night stand, you reckon? - Oh, yeah.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27How about somebody she's had a past with?
0:14:29 > 0:14:34- I tried a chilli, curry, but nope, he did not want to budge.- Mother...
0:14:34 > 0:14:36No, no, go on. I haven't heard this.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38So, I'm five days late and I'm out here with him.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Then he finally decides to make an appearance.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Here we go again... - But the trouble was,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46we was in a block of flats and the lift was out of order...
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Out of order, so I was nearly born in the stairwell.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Poor Pete eventually gets me to the bottom of the stairs
0:14:52 > 0:14:55and I can feel him pushing now, he really wants to come out.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57That is too much information.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Mum, we really, really don't need the graphic details, all right?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Pete had this little van, and I can't get in the passenger seat
0:15:03 > 0:15:05cos I'm like a whale, it's so cramped.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08It was so cramped, all right, you had to get in the back
0:15:08 > 0:15:11with the carrots and loads of potatoes, didn't you?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13And that is when my waters broke.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15LAUGHTER
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Don't tell me, Uncle Pete still put the fruit and veg out on the stall?
0:15:18 > 0:15:19It wouldn't surprise me.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26I will have a double of whatever it was I was having.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- You've got a couple in, so...- Have I? Go on, I'll have them as well.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34- I mean, look at him. How could she? - You don't know it's him yet.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36It makes sense.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Someone from her past, someone that needs her to keep it quiet.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Denise, Denise, Denise, Denise...
0:15:42 > 0:15:47- Do you know...- Eh!- Do you know, I'm 48 now, did you know?- Yes...- 48.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I did know. You having a good time?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Yeah. Yeah, I am actually, yeah. I am. I am. You?
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Lovely, thank you.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Bless him. He's going to have a seriously sore head in the morning.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Never was very good at hangovers.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13You've hardly looked at any of this stuff.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- I can see from your accounts how the business operates.- Oh.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- BEEP - What does that mean?
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Well... Yeah, the business itself isn't looking too unhealthy, yeah.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26But I'm afraid it's you.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28You yourself, Mr Carter,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31you're too big a credit risk for us to lend against.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38But... Well, you can see how busy we are.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42I'm really sorry, but it's showing here that you were recently
0:16:42 > 0:16:44turned down for a personal loan?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Yeah.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50That was nothing to do with the pub.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52We're not really asking for that much, are we?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55You know, compared to what you throw at other businesses.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Yeah, but unfortunately, as I say, it's not the business, it's you.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01It's your own personal credit rating that's causing the problem.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02That's where the risk is.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05What do you mean risk? What do you keep talking about a risk for?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- You can see what I'm trying to do here.- Mick...
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Mr Carter, all I can do is pass on the result of the application.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Right, so the computer says no, and that's it, yeah?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Why don't you just like, you know, go with what's in front of you.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18You know, like, use your mince pies, like...
0:17:18 > 0:17:22I am sorry, but all we can do is go with what the application tells us.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- OK. Mr... What is it, Fairbrass, is it?- Yeah.- Fairbrass.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32The only reason I'm in this mess is cos I've got a family.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36My wife, Linda...
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Her mum, she had a stroke.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42They were in Spain. I needed to fly them home.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47That cost money, you know? I've got to cover them costs.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49It's fine. My son Lee, he...
0:17:51 > 0:17:55..gets himself in a mess, he runs up loads of debts again, you know.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00I've got to pay for that, and then this place starts, you know,
0:18:00 > 0:18:01it starts falling apart.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06It's like everything's hitting me at once. So...
0:18:06 > 0:18:07You know, this is it.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10You.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12This is everything...
0:18:12 > 0:18:16and you've...you've turned me down.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20You're free to appeal against anything I've said tonight.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21It's all explained in here.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Take your soppy little leaflet...
0:18:27 > 0:18:29..and get out my house.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- Er... You can find your way out, yeah?- Yeah.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Look, I wish I could have given you better news. I'm really sorry.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57DOOR SLAMS
0:18:57 > 0:18:58And they threw him out the club!
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Will you pack this in?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- What?- All the touching and the games, enough.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Oh, like you're not loving it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Why haven't I got a drink? - I think you need to slow down, Ian.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10You know what the nurse said.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12You might be ready for the old people's home, but I am not.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Right, I'm going to make a speech as well, while I'm up.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15No! Oh, please...
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Speech.- Speech!- Speech. - Sh. Thank you.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23I just want to say how great it is to have my family and friends here.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27To my wonderful wife Jane.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I love you so much, you are the world to me,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33and I can't imagine not being here for you.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41And Steven, my son. My children, they mean everything to me.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46And to my kids who can't be here as well.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47I can't bear this.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- Kim, don't!- Kim? - You two-faced, slimy hypocrite.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- What? - What are you playing at?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56You should be ashamed of yourself. How could you do that to my sister?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Oh, Kim no...- What, you get her pregnant and you don't want
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- to take responsibility.- I did what? - I'm so sorry.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Don't you apologise, he's the snake.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07He is also not the father.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Of course he is, and he's made a fool out of everybody.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15How low can you go? Cheating on your disabled wife.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- I...I didn't. - You are so out of order.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- He's the one that got you pregnant. - I didn't. I...couldn't.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Oh, what, you forgot? What, you were too drunk?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Ian had a vasectomy years ago.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Kim, home.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Now.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Listen...
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I am so sorry.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42I really am.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Happy birthday.- Happy birthday!
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Thank you.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I was just trying to figure it out.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58By putting two and two together and coming up with five?
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Look, I need to know. Everyone else seems to.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06How would you feel if I was shutting you out
0:21:06 > 0:21:07like what you're doing to me?
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Well?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19It's Phil Mitchell.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Look, please, just tell me the truth.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Phil? Drunk, bald, crazy, Phil Mitchell?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33OK, OK.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Now I've told you,
0:21:35 > 0:21:39you have got to swear you will not say anything to him
0:21:39 > 0:21:40or anyone else.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- I didn't, love. I swear. - No, I had gathered that, love.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Dad, just get your head in. - Come on. Come on.- I'm in.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Yeah, come on, Casanova.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56All right, let's do that pouty thing, Bex. How does it go?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Cringe, please don't.- You ready?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- ALL:- Cheese.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Can you send me a copy of that?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I'll tag everyone in it online, Gran.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Happy birthday.- What? Sausage?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Sausage.- Thank you.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Would you like a birthday drink?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Yeah, go on, then. I'll have one with you, thank you.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Come on then, let's have a look.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Ah, mate it's rubbish. I've got to do another one.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Oh, let's have a look.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Someone's just tagged me in it. I haven't seen it before, I swear.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Did you know about this?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Have you seen this?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Bex, who did this? Who done it?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Bex!
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- Bex?- Bex, wait.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Maybe let her be. It's not her fault. She didn't do this.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Well...
0:23:04 > 0:23:06..now you know why I didn't tell you.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09But shutting him out?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Giving the baby up?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I still think you're going to regret not reading the letter
0:23:14 > 0:23:16from the new parents.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23You don't have to do anything about it, but just to read that he's OK.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29What if he turns up one day?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34He comes looking for you, and then he realises that you didn't want
0:23:34 > 0:23:37to know anything what his adoptive parents had to say to you.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Hm?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Oi, what happened over there? She's in a right state.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49She just ran straight upstairs, she wouldn't even talk to me.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52This is online, and everyone's seen it.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04I've ripped it into loads of pieces. We're never going to find it.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Hold this. Hold this.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23What did he say?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Ah, Konrad.- Mick...
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Yeah, before you go there, um...
0:24:32 > 0:24:36it's looking a little bit iffy, like me giving you the dough today.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38No, come on, we agreed. Today.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Yeah. Yeah, I know.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44It's just I'm waiting on a few things. I've got it,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I just ain't got it in my hand.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49When?
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Soon.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Soon tomorrow? Soon next week? When?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Soon, soon, soon.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58I'll tell you what, look. Why don't you take this, right?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02This is a couple of hundred shots. You know, just to take the edge off.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04I just want the bill paid.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07I know, I know. It's not a problem, it's all good.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- Soon.- Soon. Soon. I will. I promise.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20TILL SLAMS SHUT
0:25:31 > 0:25:32OK.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39"We wanted to let you know...
0:25:40 > 0:25:42"..that your son...
0:25:42 > 0:25:44"..has been with us since you gave birth.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53"He's such a character already, with the sweetest of smiles.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02"He has a little yellow lion called Leo that he loves...
0:26:05 > 0:26:08"..and he always falls straight to sleep when we take him out
0:26:08 > 0:26:10"in the car..."
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- SHE LAUGHS - "..but he's not so keen on the buggy.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17"His big sister adores him
0:26:21 > 0:26:25"..and he raises his head a tiny bit whenever she kisses him.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30"We wanted to say that we love him
0:26:32 > 0:26:36"..and treasure him, and we will...
0:26:36 > 0:26:37"we will keep him safe.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39"Thank you."
0:26:44 > 0:26:45I did the right thing.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49- You did.- Yeah.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52They love him, don't they?
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Yeah.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Now, just... I've got to look to the future.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02I ain't got a clue what that is...
0:27:06 > 0:27:09It's got to be better than being a shop girl though, ain't it?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23I've tried everything.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Usually I'm sweet.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32You know, usually I'd be able to sort it.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38You know...
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I can usually, like, fix this...
0:27:44 > 0:27:45..but I can't.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51It's like everything's coming towards me a hundred mile an hour
0:27:51 > 0:27:52and I just can't stop it.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00I'm drowning, Whit.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Hey.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13Something will turn up. Like you say, it always does.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16It won't.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19Not this time it won't.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23I can't pay Konrad.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29I'm never going to be able to pay that fine.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33I'm going to prison.
