Here, take that, will you?
Oi!What?
You dropped something.
That's all right. There's plenty more where that came from.
You want to watch yourself.
Easy target.Yeah, all right.
Tell that to the casino.
Beautiful scarf, Jean.
Really brings out your eyes.
Ah, thank you.
I wasn't sure about it at first,
but sometimes, you've just got to be brave.
Why didn't you call?
Sh...No, you said you'd call.
I've been up all night worrying about this.
Why'd that policeman want to talk about Fraser?
Have you done something?
Are you in trouble?
Yeah, I am, yeah.
What did you do?
I talked to Fraser.
I told you not to do that.
I just couldn't stand the thought of you having to see him again.
I thought if I spoke to him, I could make him go away.
But he pulled a knife.
I just lost it.
You hit him?
They're going to come after me. No.I'd put this behind me!
I was doing OK, now it's all going to start again...
No, no, listen.
It's all on me.
All right? All of it.
These boys, the police...
If they're coming for anyone, they're coming for me.
Are you going to get arrested?
They're going to want to talk to me.
Could you go to prison?
No, course not.
Not even close.
Stop worrying, all right?
Now, I want you to go home.
And I'll call you, yeah? As soon as I find out more.
I can't believe you won't take a baby.
Cos you're a hostel, and you're meant to help people, aren't you?
Babies are people, aren't they?
No, I can't declare myself homeless.
Because that will take time and I need somewhere now, that's why!
I know, it seems the whole world wants to keep us apart, don't it?
But I'm going to find a way for us to stay together.
So, what was it, a vigilante thing?
What you going to do? Start patrolling the streets in a mask
and spandex costume?
Fraser was one of them county lines lads
that Tiffany got caught up with.
He...
He intimidated her.
All right? So when I saw him later, dealing, I just lost it.
So, what happens now?
If Muski's right, they're going to pick me up for questioning today,
tomorrow, soon.
What are you going to say?
Well, it depends if any witnesses come forward.
It don't matter. Just say you weren't there.
The kid's a scumbag.
Chances are the witnesses are going to be scumbags an' all, aren't they?
Yeah, well, it won't matter.
If they back his story, it's going to be two against one.
Well, I'll give you an alibi.No.
Not dragging you into this. You've got enough on your plate.
I don't mind.No!
All right? Got to keep you clear of this, for Abi.
All right, well, if it ain't me, you got to find someone else.
You've got one chance, Jack,
to tell the police what you were doing that night.
If I was you, I'd take myself out of the picture - and quick.
Would you wear one of these?
What is it?A papoose.
Carry your baby like a little monkey.
Well, male monkeys don't carry babies round.
That's it.
I'm buying one.
You're wearing one. End of.
Shirley.
Any news on my money?
You only asked me yesterday.
Another day of the Slaters spending my cash.
You may have a bigger problem.
Saw Ben this morning...
rolling out of a cab.
Been at the Casino all night.
You want to keep an eye on him, Phil.
All my mates have got the game already
and I'm only 20 quid short.
You're going to have to earn it, boy.
What about my school work?
You expect me to do well and go to university and that.
Don't try and kid a kidder, son.What?
You think just one mention of higher education
and my wallet's going to spring open?
You never mentioned university before.
Yeah, well, I'm talking about it now.
Don't you think I can do it?
I think you can do anything you put your mind to, son.
But you're going to have to work for it, yeah?
Two coffees, please.
That's all right, darling.
You did me a favour, actually.
Kim's been moping about like a hormonal teenager.
She's properly doing my head in.
What's up?
Has something happened?
I've done something stupid.
I'm in trouble, Dee.
Oh, did you talk to Adam and Honey?
It's a different trouble.
It's police trouble.
What's happened?
Have you done something?
It's best you don't know.
That's a joke, right?
Well you're scaring me now. So, just tell me what you did.
I can't.
You've just got to trust me when I say
that the other person deserved it. Oh, you've hurt someone?
OK, well, if you...
..can't tell me everything, then why tell me anything at all?
Because I need your help.
I know this is a big ask, and we haven't been together
for very long, but...
..I need you to give me an alibi.
Wow.
I've already dropped Lexi off at school.
Yeah, I ain't here for Lexi.
Is Ben around?
No, tried the car lot?
Yeah, the Arches, as well.
Someone said they saw him rolling in this morning after an all-nighter.
Is that true?
Yep. Came in, showered, then he left.
To go where?
I don't know.
To be honest with you, Phil, I've hardly spoke to him
the past few weeks.
He comes and goes like a flamin' tom cat.
And when he is here, he ain't ever alone, either.
Is he helping out with Lexi?
Not really, no.
Looking after a kid's boring, innit?
Why choose childcare and Antiques Roadshow with Kathy and Ian
when you can go out clubbing every evening,
and go somewhere in the daytime and sleep it all off?
So he ain't even going to work?
I don't know!
I don't know where he goes or what he does.
But I just know he don't spend much time with me or his daughter.
Typical Ian, innit? Can't keep his mouth shut.
You got no right to ask him to, either!
She's our family an' all, you know.
Didn't sleep a wink last night, worrying about this.
I mean, the thought of that little girl coming to harm.
What you talking about? She's fine.
You don't know that... Well, I do know that, all right?
Spoke to Rainie yesterday, didn't I?
Oh, and what did she say?
Nothing.
She's still annoyed at me, isn't she?
It's just a messy domestic, Kathy.
No, Max, this ain't a flamin' domestic.
She has abducted my great-granddaughter!
I knew we should've fought you for her.
Should've moved heaven and Earth to get that little girl out your hands.
What, you saying you'd have done a better job?
All right, yeah. Maybe you would've done.
Or maybe you would've disappeared for another nine years.
How dare you?Ah, come on, you talk the talk, don't you?
But you've hardly seen Abi lately, have you?
And where's Ian been? On the other side of the world. Not a phone call.
Not an e-mail. Nothing.
So don't come round here, trying to tell me
that Abi is the centre of your universe, all right? Cos she ain't.
I know she ain't.
She's on the edges, maybe, at best.
But for me she's slap-bang in the middle!
Trying to make out I don't care.
This whole situation is ripping my guts out.
I'm going home now, Max.
And when I get there...
..I shall be calling the police.
What you talking about?
You can't call the police. I'll do what I want.
We've tried it your way, and it ain't worked.
I'm bringing that little girl home.
Nah, nah. You call the police, we could lose Abi forever.
Rainie didn't just take Abi, all right?
She stole a load of money off Jack.
If the police get involved, they ain't just dealing
with a family dispute, they'll be looking at theft.
And you think I'd lose sleep if she got banged up?
This ain't just about Rainie.
If they know about the money, that's criminal activity.
Everyone's going to get involved. Social services, everyone.
They're going to look at what's going on, and they will,
they'll take Abi into care.
No, they couldn't do that.
What, you want to take the risk of finding out, do you?
Listen, Abi.
We're going to go camping tonight.
Yes, we are, yeah.
We're going to find somewhere lovely and we're going
to build a little den under the stars
and we'll be snug as two bugs in a rug.
Yes, we will.
Mrs Van Deppe?
Mrs Van Deppe, please.
I'm coming now.
Clear off and I'll be down in two ticks.
Busy afternoon.
I probably shouldn't stay long.
You can go when I say you go.
Drink your juice.
So, tell me about Ben.
What about him?
Well, how's it working out?
Is he treating you all right?
Fine.
No problems at work?
Cos I've been hearing he ain't around very often.
In fact, I've been hearing all sorts.
Like he's gambling, drinking, staying out all night.
Wouldn't know about that.
So, it ain't affecting the business?
No, not really.
You sure about that?
This is your chance to tell your side of the story.
I don't know what you want me to say.
He ain't around much, that's true, but that's his lookout.
I keep my head down, I work hard, I save for the baby,
that's all I'm about right now.
What Ben does is nothing to do with me.
Smart lad.
Protective of my daughter, and diplomatic about my son.
Now, come on, what you doing sitting around
drinking during working hours? You got work to do, haven't you?
Go on, get going.
OK, don't you ever do this, sweetie,
OK?
ALARM WAILS
There you go, darling.
Off we go.
Shirl, got any chance of change for a 20? I'm running a bit low.
I'll sort you out an overdraft whilst I'm here.
No, I'm fine, thank you.
And we do a really competitive mortgage rate.Ah, OK.
You could have just said no.
Ah, thank you.
Everything all right, Dee?
Yeah. Fine, yeah.
I don't suppose you're free tomorrow afternoon.
I've got my last pre-chemo.
Sorry, I can't.
Promised Mick I'd do the day shift.
Oh, well. Not to worry.
You've got to give me more notice in future, and I'll make sure I'm free.
Thank you.
Nice headscarf.
Oh, you're the second person today to say that!
The wig's nice, now it's been altered,
but I'm still getting used to it.
Do you really like it?
Yeah, yeah, really suits you.
A new handbag?
Classy, yeah, it's elegant.
Was it expensive?
I don't know.
It's a present.
Gentleman admirer?
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
From Stacey.
Really suits you.
Right. Bye.See ya.
I just thought, you know, I'd really struck lucky.
A big, honest, straightforward sort of bloke.
Not like the previous nutcases that I've been with in the past.
Not...
Come on. Not you, ya big lump.
I don't know, just ignore me.
It's not really fair, is it?
Bringing my relationship problems to you.No...
Right, don't know if it helps,
but I have asked Kat for plenty of favours since we've been together.
Stuff she probably wouldn't do for anyone else...
Too much information.
No, what I mean is,
if you like Jack as much as I think you do, then cut him a bit of slack.
Trust him.
Right, I'll see you later.
See you. Thank you.
ALARM WAILING
Mrs Van Deppe?
Mrs Van Deppe, stop!
Excuse me, excuse me! Can you help me down?
Got it? Cheers.
Excuse me, excuse me!
Right, so, erm...
..I've given it some thought and I'll do it.
I'll say you were with me... Thank you. Thank you.
There's one condition.
If I'm going to the police,
I want to know why.
You're going to need to trust me.
Really? OK, cos from where I'm standing,
it feels like it's you that doesn't trust me.
I can't tell you, Denise. I just can't.
You know, I've...
I've spent years of my life living with men that I can't trust.
Years.
And when my eyes were finally opened,
I told myself I would never put myself in this position again.
So, if you want to be with me...
..this ain't negotiable.
No secrets.
Look, let's just forget that I asked you.
Just tell me what you did, or we're done.
Don't make this about me and you... No, no, no.
You did that.
You did that when you brought a secret into our relationship.
So, I'll say it again.
Tell me what you did, or we're done.
OK, I'll see you, Jack.
Denise?
You all right? I'm late, hun.
What's happened?
I'm fine.
Has something happened to Uncle Jack?
Why do you ask that?
I don't know. You just seem a bit upset.
I thought maybe you'd argued...
Oh, darling, when you see a woman who's upset,
it's not always about some fella.
But...
Yeah, yeah, OK.
This time you are right.
That's what it was.
Me and your Uncle Jack, we...
..we just didn't work out.
I'm sorry.Yeah.
Yeah, so am I.
Tea will be ready in five minutes!
I'd like you to take this back.
It's too much.
I've still got the box and the tags...
No. It was a present, Mum. Keep it.
I'd rather not.
Can you take it back, please? No, if you don't like it...
I do like it.
Well, keep it, then.
No, I'm not happy wearing something
that's bought with stolen money, Stacey.
Even if everyone does say it suits me and I look good in it.
You know, I...
I haven't always been a good example to you.
Oh, Mum...No.
When I was younger.
Well, all that drinking.
The men.
But I always knew what was right and what was wrong,
even if I couldn't always follow it.
And you do, too.
I ain't taking it back.
Well, that's your decision,
but I don't want to have anything to do with it.
You might want to spend less time thinking about
spending Phil Mitchell's money,
and more about how to mend this feud with Kat.
You can have all the money in the world, but if you can't even
speak to the people who love you, then...
what's the point in any of it?
I'll get this typed up and bring a copy over for you to sign.
Thanks for coming at short notice.
You're putting a lot of faith in Louise's fiancee.
Keanu's a good kid.
Besides, I want him to have security for his family.
Course you do.
Listen, we've known each other a long time.
If you've got something to say, just say it.
Last time I did your will, you kept Ben's hands off the family silver.
I mean, fair enough, you gave him the Arches.
Which was very generous of me.
It was.
But this is different.
Not just cutting Ben out,
you're giving what he might think is his rightful share to an outsider.
Well, Keanu ain't an outsider. Besides, there's money for Lexi.
Which Ben can't touch. Too right he can't.
Cos if he could, chances are he'd blow it in casinos
or a night club somewhere, or something.
No, it's my money.
My decision.
Just checking.
Oh, and...
..good luck with the new baby.
You're going to need it, old fella.
Don't even go there. I've heard it all.
Half the Square's expecting me to pop me clogs before the due date.
Oh, you'll be fine.
Not sure I'd put a bet on you in the Dads' race come sports day,
but other than that...
Did you split with Denise cos of this police business?
No.Cos if you did, that's my fault, innit?
No, it's not your fault, all right?
None of this is your fault.
What, so it's all just a coincidence?
Your police mate comes round asking about Fraser,
and now you've broken up with Denise. Don't lie to me.
I'm not lying to you.
Well, did you tell her?
Did you tell Denise what you did?Course not.
Then why break up with her? You were happy.
Look, on my life...
..I haven't told her a thing. I shouldn't of said anything.
I should've just kept my stupid mouth shut.Oi, don't say that.
Don't ever say that.
I'm honoured.
Totally honoured that you chose to tell me.
But you got to know that I keep my promises.
I'm never going to tell anyone.
If I told the police what he did to me, would that help you?
Do you want to do that?
I just want to help you.
Cos they know where I live, Uncle Jack.
It's all right.
You don't have to say a word, you hear me?
Not a word.
But if they send you to prison...
Listen, you didn't make me assault him.
All right? That was my mistake.
And it's my problem, not yours.
Understood?
Oi.
Understood?
WHISPERING: Yeah.
That won't wash.
I need her in court!
Well, if she doesn't come,
she'll have to look for other representation.
Right, Dad, I'm done.
Can I get that 20 quid now, yeah?
You've only been here an hour.And?
You think I'm going to pay you �20 for just sweeping hair?
What's that, a pound a strand?
Son, there ain't no magic hen layin' golden eggs.
If you want to earn money, you have to sweat for it, boy.
Grey, can you lend me a tenner?
Yeah, sure.
Ain't Chantelle at home with the kids by now?
I know where my wife is. So, what you still doing here?
Cos I asked him to go running with me.Come with us.
If you get tired, I've got the bus fare.
No, no, you're all right.
You ready?
As I'll ever be, mate. I'm going to win that tenner back.
The kids all right?
Yeah, they're spark out. No problem.
What do you want for dinner? Might pop out.
Get a Chinese or something.
I won't be here for dinner.
Heads up from Muski.
They're on their way.
Jack, you should disappear.
I'm not going to run. No, I don't mean run.
Just make yourself scarce for a couple of days,
buy yourself some time, get your story straight.
And make myself look guilty? Yeah, but you are guilty.
Jack, I'm your brother, all right?
I know you wouldn't do this without a good reason.
But the courts, cops? I mean, they don't know you, do they?
They don't care, do they?
All they're going to want to do is put you away.
Jack, please.
I don't want lose you, and all.
I'll pack a bag.
I'll have my tenner back.
Yeah, like you need it.
Bet's a bet.
Nah, keep it.
I would have spent four times that on my personal trainer.
You pay someone 40 quid an hour to do exercise?
How much do you earn?Enough.
Look, I won't tell no-one, I promise.
Your mum never tell you it's vulgar to talk about money?
You see that, mate, that is a rich man's privilege.
Cos us, we're always talking about money, cos we ain't got none.
That's why I want to start earning big like you.
But are you prepared to work for it?
Sound like my dad.
King of the short cut?
Nah, I don't think so.
Look, if you want to see what I do, how I make my money,
come into the office.
I'll introduce you to a few people, show you how it all works.
What, seriously?Why not?
See, that's another rich man's privilege.
You get to give your family a leg-up.
What you going to tell the police?
Ain't got to tell them nothing, have I?
You ain't back from work yet. Pub, club, whatever.
Just tell the kids that Denise was poorly and I had to stay over, yeah?
Listen, just use the time to work out what you're going to say, yeah?
All right, darling?
What's up?
I had a bad dream about Mummy.
That don't sound right.
Mummy only brings good dreams.
This was a bad one.
Jack, you should go.
Where are you going?
I'm not going anywhere.Please.
Tell you what, why don't we go on the couch, eh?
Get all snug on there. Come on.
That's it.
I didn't think you knew where to find the potato peeler,
let alone use it.
Hidden talents.
Is this cos I made such a fuss about the baby carrier?
Nah. You want me to wear a papoose, I'll wear a papoose.
Who are you, and what have you done with my husband?
Things are going to be different this time, you know?
I want to be involved.
I'll be there for your appointment on Friday, everything.
Seriously, Phil, what's brought all this on?
I don't know. I've just had time to think about the family,
I've got my affairs in order...
Well, I brushed up my will a bit.
Made sure everyone's well provided for.
Especially you.
And this little one.
And now I've done that, it's given me a chance to see things clearly.
See what really matters.
You know, Louise, you, our baby.
And I'm going to be with you, every step of the way.
I'm going to stick to you like glue.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Take care of them for me, yeah?
Yeah, course.
