No.
This is your brother, innit?
He's put you up to this.
I am so sorry, Whit.
You're serious, aren't you?
Look... No, don't come near me.
Ben? Ben Mitchell?
It was a mistake.
A stupid, stupid, drunk mistake. The worst mistake of my life.
You've got to believe me. I love you, Whit.
More than anything. I really do. That's not me.
You know me. No, I don't know you!
I don't know you.
Not at all.
Hey, guys apparently, right, he was an extra on London's Burning once.
Seems like a nice guy.
A nice guy? Mm. He dropped me on me head.
MITCH CHUCKLES He's lucky I'm a pacifist.
Yeah, well, my money's on the Sumo.
Right, well, he ain't outside.
We need to go and have a little mooch, go find him.
You can't have a stag do without a stag.
Let me go and find him. You lot wait here.
So what are we going to do now?
I think we do a runner. I've had enough of looking at him now.
No, no, listen.
We've got to stay on the manor in case Halfway comes back, OK?
We need to cut our losses, and we go and see the girls.
Cos it's either that, or we plot here and we pray that
that geezer's tiny little mouse don't pop out of its house.
Can we go to McKlunkeys first? Them nuggets ain't half making me hungry.
Yes. On the count of three, we do the slips.
One...
..two. That's it, go on.
Three.
I thought you weren't coming in today.
You OK?
Listen, I'm not going to be around tomorrow.
That's all right. I can handle it.
Yeah. I know you can.
Can't we just talk?
Please, Whit. I'm in bits here.
The night before our wedding,
you tell me that you've cheated on me.
With a bloke! And you want me to feel sorry for YOU?
I'M in bits, Callum.
So, you're gay?
No! No, of course not.
"Of course not"? Straight blokes don't get off with men.
I'm not gay. I was drunk.
Oh, you were drunk? Well, what were you drinking?
I'll buy myself a keg and give Tina a knock.
I love you, Whit! You.
I don't know why I did it, but I will never do it again, I swear.
You're bisexual? No!
I'm nothing but in love with you. You, Whitney.
I told you the truth because I'm so sorry.
You don't deserve a coward for a husband.
Was it just a kiss?
BUZZER RINGS
Saved by the bell.
Well, go on. Better get it.
It might be your boyfriend for round two.
BUZZER RINGS
It's Stuart.
Go. He ain't going to leave till you answer.
BUZZER RINGS
DOOR OPENS
Hey. Is everything all right?
I just thought I'd pop in and buy Whitney a drink.
Are you OK?
Is there any update on Hunter?
I know what it's like to worry about your kids.
I've still got years of it to come.
So, go home. Smash things up. Do what you need to do.
Because nothing else matters, does it?
You'd do anything for your kids, wouldn't you?
Mm.
Maybe we've got more in common than we both care to admit.
Take care of yourself, Sharon.
Yeah.
You too.
If he's up there, I'm going to drag him out by his ears.
Ben is not here. How many more times do I have to tell you?
So how come you ain't out with us, then?
And what's happened to your lip? Callum, if he's hit you...
Just leave it, yeah? Please. It's my fault. Let me fix it.
Look, me and Whitney, we're upstairs.
We're just sorting stuff out, all right?
Oh, I see. All right. OK.
Sorting stuff out. Good man.
Pop back over after, if you're not too knackered, yeah?
Sorting stuff out!
See you later. See you later. See you later.
STUART CHUCKLES
Whit? Whit?
No, babe. Please, please don't do this.
Get off me!
You stand there and you tell me that you love me over and over,
like it's true.
If you loved me, you wouldn't have done this to me.
Now get out. Whit, please...
Get out!
Look at the state of you.
Relax, Sharon. It's nothing.
It's Whitney's hen do tonight, so don't cause any trouble, OK?
Oi-oi!
We might have strippers after all, girls.
Whoo!
What's happened here? You boys ain't been fighting, have you?
Robbie's been naughty. I love a bad boy, me.
It's a long story. Where's Whitney?
She left with Callum. Why?
Well, when a girl and boy like each other...
All right, all right, well, at least we ain't lost him, eh?
Oh, just my luck. My ex turns up. You can't keep away, can you?
Mick, please tell me you're here to take her home,
because she's doing my head in. What's happened?
Hello! What are you doing here?
How you getting on, babe, all right?
I am fandabidozi.
MUSIC: I Could Be Happy by Altered Images
This is my song!
How many songs have you got?!
Right. What are you having?
ROBBIE: Let's get some shots!
Wow!
You blew us out for Karen and Mo? I can't lie, that hurts that, mate.
Why are you upset?
Get off.
Where's the stag?
Listen, try and behave yourself, all right?
If anybody deserves a trouble-free night, it's them two.
Do you want me to make you something?
Are you hungry?
Just say something, Whit, please.
Even if you just want to swear at me,
or shout at me, just, please, say something.
Do you remember our first kiss?
I do.
I still remember it like it was yesterday.
Still makes my heart go 100mph just thinking about it.
I was so nervous, cos you were...
You were you, and I was me.
HE CHUCKLES
I'd never felt that good before.
Not about anything. Not about myself.
Just felt like my whole world fell into place for once in my life.
My heart is broken, Whit.
And if your heart's broke too, then that's got to be worth fixing.
We love each other. We're getting married.
That's got to be worth fighting for.
WE are worth fighting for.
Just because you say that you love me...
..don't make it true.
They're just words.
Look in my bedside table.
There's a bit of paper tucked away.
Read it.
She'll be fine in a few days.
Old people need time to digest news, like their food.
No offence.
For a second there, I thought she was actually happy for me.
If she can't accept me, that's her problem.
Come on. Let's just go and have a dance, and not think about it. OK?
Oh, brace yourself.
You must be Ash! Oh, I'm so happy to meet you!
You are fit!
If I swung that way, you'd totally have competition, Iqs.
I told you I'd be able to sneak out, didn't I?
Yeah, how did you manage it?
I told Ian I had women problems,
and your problems are my problems,
so, technically, it's not a lie, is it?
IQRA SIGHS
You all right? Yeah.
Erm, is Whitney about? No, I don't think so.
Everybody else is, though, by the looks of it.
All right, girls? What are we drinking?
Nah, nah, nah, I'll get this one, Robbie. What are you having, girls?
We'll keep to ourselves. Cheers, Rob.
Whoa, whoa, don't be rude, sis.
Actually, we'll have two mocktails, and a...
A very alcoholic vodka lime soda, cheers.
Two mocktails, please, baby and one of those, yeah.
What, are you girls driving tonight, are you?We're Muslim.
Oh. And you?
Sikh. Turban's in the wash.
Right. Sorry to hear that, darling, sorry to hear that. Go on, then.
Who's your mate? Actually, she's...
My best mate. Ash, this is Robbie.
KAREN:Robbie Rotten. Shots.
Slippery nipple for me, darling.
Mick OK'd it from your whip.
Where IS Mick?
He's trying to put baby in the corner!
THEY LAUGH
And I can definitely buy tickets at the station, yeah?
OK, thank you.
Wow! OK.
Did they have to ask you for ID when you came in?
You two are made for each other.
DENISE CHUCKLES
Anyway, well, how did things go with Muski?
Yeah, yeah. It's an option, if I want it.
OK. And do you want it?
Either way, I am here for you, OK?
Drink.
Oh, here we go again.
You all right?
You all right, tight pants?
Whit? You all right?
Look, I'm coming in.
Are these your vows?
If you love me this much...
..how could you do this to me?
All right, mate? All right. Yeah. Lovely.
She needs a pint of water before she goes to bed.
Yeah, and some dry toast.
And two paracetamols.
I am perfectly fine, ladies.
I'm just a bit tired, that's all.
In this eye especially.
Come on. Say goodnight, L.
Goodnight, L!
Night-night, girlies. Night-night.
See you later.
Have fun! Bye!
Where YOU been?
Got chips, and then I went back to The Vic to find you lot,
and the Sumo caught me for a pint.
Do you need a hand with that?
No! Just go away.
I found him, by the way. He's at home with Whit.
Yeah, I know. Can I be sick on him, please?
No, baby, you can spew outside, just like everyone else.
Come on, here we go. I want to be sick on him.
You all right there, mate? Have you had a bit of trouble?
No, not yet.
He's at home with Whit.
Little roll in the hay before the big day. Happy as Larry.
I'm sure they are.
Yeah. So I guess you'll have to find somebody else's life to ruin
instead, then, eh?
What's the matter? I thought you was feeling better.
It's my ribs. They're killing me.
Thanks to Nurse Ratched over there.
It's lemonade, all right?
Thanks for the vote of confidence, though.
Sorry.
Do you want to go home?
Not yet.
Can't you just give it to her tomorrow?
Just...
Just tell her I left it for her, yeah?
Where's Dad? Is he OK?
Yeah! Yeah, course he is. Come here.
You're a good girl, do you know that?
And you should be in bed.
Now, I know you don't need any make-up, but,
that's the one you like, right?
What's this for? For being a good girl.
I'll see you soon, yeah? Bye.
Thank you.
PHONE CHIMES
Took me ages.
I just... I couldn't find the right words.
It's weird because you feel it here, but...
I just couldn't say. I couldn't, anyway.
So I just kept on getting it wrong until I got it right.
And it still don't do you justice.
They are just words, Whit, but I mean every single one.
You are kind. You are funny.
You are feisty. Smart.
And no matter how many times I tell you,
you don't know how beautiful you are.
You missed out loyal.
Funny, I put that in mine.
I cannot believe that somebody like you would give me the time of day.
I still can't.
Whit, I'm not like most blokes round here. I'm not.
I'm not like most blokes anywhere.
I'm not my brother, I'm not my Dad, and I'm not Mick.
I was never a fighter. I wasn't one of the boys.
I've never been a ladies' man, as well you know.
I never fitted in anywhere. Not...
Not at home. Not in the Army. Anywhere.
Maybe I was just still trying to find my place.
But what happened...
..that is not me, Whit.
HE BREATHES HEAVILY
Honey, I'm home.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.
OBJECT CLATTERS
DOOR CLOSES
Well, well, well.
Fancy seeing you here.
All dressed up like the Finsbury Park Fonz,
and you still couldn't keep the young girl happy.
Shame, innit, eh?
I'm picking Abi up at 9.00.
Make sure she don't swallow any loose change tonight, yeah?
Now we can go, darling.
Cheers. Thanks for coming. Goodnight.
They're dropping like flies here!
See, India is lovely, but I'd love to do a bit of travelling
around Asia, you know. Where are you from?
Upminster.
ROBBIE CHUCKLES
Nah, I mean, where are your mum and dad from?
Upminster too, funny enough.
Oh! So, what's this Upminster like, then?
Right, I'm going to head home.
Thanks for the effort though, boys. Nice to feel wanted.
Wait!
Look, I'm sorry, all right? It's just hard.
I know. But it's too late to turn back now, ain't it?
And I'm not playing best mate until you find your backbone again,
all right?
CHEERING
We're going home.
Sorry, boys.
What did I miss?
What do you want?
I've had a bit of a funny day.
Topped it off by having a few too many at the pub,
and I was thinking to myself, "Do I go home, get an early night,
"cut my losses, sit staring at the wall and wind myself up a bit more?
"Or do I go and get something that is going to make sure
"that today isn't a complete write-off, you know?"
See, that's where you come in...
..cos you're going to give me something good.
Something special to cheer me up.
Some good news for my old man to wake up to in the morning.
Or I'm going to go and drag your boy out by his hair
and call the old bill just for the hell of it.
That's the kind of way my mind works, you know?
So...
..what you got for me?
I haven't got an address...
..but I have got a number for Lisa.
Just take it and go.
See? Not that hard, is it?
Just take it and go, please.
BEN SIGHS
Good luck, mate.
You're going to need it.
MEL BREATHES HEAVILY
MEL YELLS
We need to go, tonight.
Come on. Stand up.
You all right? No, no...Just try.
Argh!
Mum, I need one more night. I need one more night.
HUNTER BREATHES HEAVILY
If you want me to go, I'll go.
But you're my world, Whitney Dean...
..and you always will be.
And all I'll ever want is for you to forgive me.
Say I did.
Say we went to bed tonight like nothing happened.
How do I know you won't do that again?
How can you promise me that?
How do you expect me to believe you?
How do I know that I can trust you again?
Cos if I don't fit with you, then I'll never fit in anywhere.
There's something I need to do.
Where you going? Get out of my way.
And don't you dare follow me.
Yeah.
I'm leaving now. I'll text you when I get home.
All right, I love you.
Oi-oi! There she is.
You two do realise you've got the rest of your lives for...?
What's wrong?!
Nothing. I'm fine. See you later.
You've had a row, ain't you?
Oh, Whit, it happens.
I was in bits the night before my wedding too.
Because, like, every small bump in the road feels like
this massive earthquake.
You lot will be as good as gold in the morning. I know it.
You lot were meant for each other.
You reckon?
Nothing in life worth having is easy.
Why should love be any different?
You deserve to be happy, Whit.
Callum makes you happy, don't he?
Don't let anything ruin that.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Forgot your key again, have you?
I thought we should compare notes.
Your grandad's been a bit of a wally, ain't he?
Eh?
I ain't going to let you down any more.
It's just you and me, Abi.
You're all I need.
Well, come on.
Where's the Billy Big Mouth Ben that we all know and love, eh?
What? You got nothing to say now?
Come on, this is your perfect scenario, ain't it?
Breaking hearts.
Holding the power over everyone and everything.
Come on. Tell me how you did it.
Tell me how much you enjoyed it.
Calm down, Whitney.
Don't you ever tell me how to feel, right?!
You're pathetic.
You just can't stand the thought of anybody else being happy,
can you, Ben, eh?
Poor little Ben. Everyone's got to be as miserable as he is,
cos he's had such a tough life.
Who ain't had a tough life, eh?
No-one else matters to you, do they?
I bet you wouldn't even look twice at him
if he weren't happy and already with someone else, would you?
No, cos that's what you do.
That's what you do.
He's just another person to manipulate.
What?
Well, go on.
What? Am I wrong?
No, exactly.
And you know exactly what you are.
That's what makes it worse.
You stay away from us...
..or I swear to God...
..I will kill you.
How can you still marry him?
Because I love him!
And I deserve to be happy!
I ain't going to let YOU ruin that for me.
