09:24why bother
09:26sounds like you've cooked up your own little exit plan
09:30Jack's already found you in them
09:33I was just wondering what I should tell Ricky
09:35when he asked why his mum was too selfish to see him finish school
09:40my mum was the toughest on her that I've ever met
09:45she couldn't be this thing
09:47how can I
09:48look you don't know there's anything to speak to you
09:52I mean there's a million reasons why women get loads in their breasts

09:58I can't do hospitals
10:01I can't be poked and prodded note
10:04I can't

10:08come on he's going to be devastated by this
10:12wherever I went
10:15okay whatever I did
10:17however horrible I was
10:19I always knew that my mum was there backing me
10:21she was
10:23solid
10:24fierce
10:26it's easy to take that kind of love for granted
10:29because you know it ain't ever going away
10:30I've just always known that I couldn't be there for Ricky
10:35so me finding some money to give to him
10:37that was supposed to be my way of saying
10:39sorry
10:40that feels very right now isn't it
10:43yeah but me and Jack
10:44we'll make sure that
10:45Ricky never wants crazy

12:37I was just wondering if I could book an emergency appointment with the GP
12:42what you got a cancellation
12:49that's brilliant
12:52yeah yeah yeah of course
12:53so I can hold
12:54what you mean is he wants you and Charlie to go for dinner
13:00what you mean is he wants you and Charlie to go for dinner
13:17What you mean is he wants you and Charlie to go for dinner.
13:24I doubt he cares anything about me.
13:29Then you've been in the house all day again.
13:32I've only got Freddie and the kids to run after, but...
13:35It's not good for you.
13:39What does Cap think about you missing Mark?
13:42And that J.P. apartment we spoke about.
13:44You made one?
13:47I'm not a child, Lily.
13:53Stop treating me like one.
14:11Yes, me?
14:14Yeah, change plans.
14:17Making a seat too far.
14:34Now, I'm sorry, Dad.
14:36She's stressed.
14:37What's going on?
14:40Dad?
14:44She's pregnant.
14:44Well, she's...
14:51She's...
14:52She has to be.
14:56Well, it's what you think I'm going to do.
14:58How do you see the test?
14:59Sorry, she says.
15:01I mean, that's her family.
15:03Honey's an honest woman.
15:05She wouldn't lie about something either.
15:08Okay.
15:09Okay, so she's pregnant.
15:10But I don't mean it's yours.
15:13Well, she says she's about 14 weeks, so...
15:15She's right.
15:17She'd easily been mine.
15:19You know, I haven't even considered being a dad.
15:21Well, I'm sure a new baby won't talk to Nicola's bingo list either.
15:28Right.
15:29Okay, you've got to talk to her.
15:30Unless you find out where her head's at, there's no point in thinking about anything else.
15:36After the day we're out today, I don't think she'll be speaking to me.
15:39She's marching around Walford looking for you.
15:42I think she's got something to say.
15:47Hi, Dad!
15:49Um...
15:50So, there's something you need to know before we get over there.
15:55Oh, what, she don't know?
15:57No, no, no, it's not her.
15:58Oh, it's me.
16:00Okay, well, it's sort of her.
16:02But sort of me.
16:04I'll...
16:04Dave.
16:05She's agreed to go and see the doctor about the lung.
16:09If we give her 20 grand.
16:13But it's for Ricky.
16:15In her night.
16:16What?
16:17You're not giving it to her?
16:19I'll get a clue, Jack.
16:21I'm stringing you along.
16:23All I came back is they're getting seen to.
16:25And if I have to lie and cheat to get her to do the right thing, then so be it.
16:35Check you out.
16:37Playing Sam at her own game.
16:40I like the way you work.
16:41Well, I have ways of getting people to do what I want in her.
16:45No, I don't.
16:46He sold your wedding ring to buy drugs.
17:04My ring?
17:06The one your dad gave me.
17:09Are you really pregnant?
17:11Did I ever tell you that?
17:15He said that Dad's going to plead guilty.
17:19That he's going to get life.
17:22Oh, Bonnie.
17:24I wanted to be the one to tell you.
17:30No, Bonnie, please.
17:32Can't we talk about this?
17:34I want to talk about this.
18:04I want to talk about this.
18:34It's company.
18:35Is that it?
18:38I know that me and your dad ain't married anymore, but he gave me that ring as a symbol of love.
18:46It doesn't have to be like this.
18:55It doesn't have to be like this.
18:56Hurry.
18:58We can pull together.
19:03Try harder.
19:06Be a proper family again.
19:08You all right, darling?
19:26Yeah.
19:27Is Zach around?
19:29Yeah, he's in the kitchen.
19:30But I'm up to the eyes in order, so don't go distracting him.
19:36All right, Sarah.
19:38You must keep ringing.
19:39I was going to call back.
19:40Oh, you've forgotten about us.
19:42Even Benny Moe.
19:44The king told me they're Anthony, and they're issuing in order.
19:47That is a red flag, though.
19:48Yeah, thanks.
19:49Why do you think I'm sleeping on Lauren's sofa?
19:52If you want to know who's behind everything, I'd start looking at them.
19:56Sam's back.
19:57Did you know that?
19:58Yeah.
19:58She says she ain't involved.
20:00Not with her.
20:01Who knows?
20:02It's him.
20:03I know it's him.
20:05A cat who could be anyone.
20:06Until I know the truth, I can't risk you not getting involved again.
20:10Yolandi finally got Kim upstairs.
20:32It's been a long time since I've seen a grown woman dance in a mackalina.
20:35I just wanted to hear her side.
20:53She didn't say much, though, but she sounded scared.
21:00So now you think I'm the kind of man how he made me out to be.
21:04Can you just explain?
21:05Huh?
21:09Look, can you see her?
21:10I don't owe you a thing.
21:24Hello.
21:24Hi.
21:25So?
21:32Where's my gorgeous granddaughter?
21:33She's just playing in the front room.
21:34I'll point her out to you.
21:36You probably wouldn't recognise her otherwise.
21:38What have you done?
21:41You know, you don't want to come to the party party, do you?
21:44In there.
21:45Go on.
21:45This is Charlie's family.
21:49This is Charlie's family.
21:51Look at trust you and bust in yourself.
22:01I know Liz was supposed to help, but if there's too much for her, we can go.
22:04Then what?
22:05She'll sit in the dressing room for the next six months.
22:08At least when she's manic, she's doing stuff.
22:10This just feels so much worse.
22:12Yeah.
22:13Oh.
22:15We're going to.
22:16We're going to take it over.
22:19We're just going to hear though.
22:20What should we do?
22:21We're going to do this all, man.
22:22What are you doing now?
22:23Come on this guy.
22:24We're going to dream faster.
22:25What should we do?
22:25Everybody.
22:26I'm going to know.
22:26We're going to come on.
22:29I thought he's innocent.
22:41I want to close him back.
22:43I'm wishing God that if there's not anything in there.
22:46It's his choice.
22:48Nobody forced him.
22:49And we'll be saving him.
22:51Anyway, you should know that.
22:54Teddy still does time.
22:57We're headed to the police.
22:59Him, me, and Harry, we'd all go down.
23:02And then what? Barney's left on his own.
23:04For years. I mean, is that what you want?
23:07And he's not the only kid to worry about.
23:10There's your kid.
23:13Being born in prison ain't exactly a good start, is it?
23:17If that is not what you're carrying.
23:20It's yours.
23:22I don't get a battle.
23:24Then one more change, sir.
23:25I'll write for what?
23:26No, listen to yourself.
23:28It's time I am my own.
23:32Teddy did a couple of years.
23:34I've burned the course of justice.
23:36It's a fair death of life.
23:37You can't have an old man for him.
23:38No, of course I don't.
23:41This is Teddy's decision, George.
23:44And this is Ted.
23:47So whatever you think of us, and your rights, and your wrongs,
23:50I can't compare with that.
23:56I suppose I would do the same.
23:59If I was in this shift,
24:02then I wouldn't be happy if someone come along and mess it up, sir.
24:07I don't like this.
24:08I will respond to this decision, but do you know, Sean?
24:15But that's the way I...
24:17I don't need anything better.
24:23And this baby could be another chance.
24:27If you want it to be.
24:28I don't know.
24:34You ain't as bad a man as you feel.
24:36The Bonnie.
24:37He's cracking that.
24:39You know, Aaron, yeah, he's going to stay, but this is trying.
24:44Always know something to you.
24:47He was in such a mess with me.
24:50Do you know what?
24:50Actually, George, I think I'd better get back to him.
24:52All right.
24:57I could come with you.
24:59Yeah.
25:05Can you work in peace?
25:09So, uh, no Stacey, then?
25:13It must be lovely I run so I'll be back, though.
25:15I'm sorry about her.
25:26It's just a bit of a love, man.
25:27Listen, why don't you take Charlie?
25:29I'll play next door.
25:30Come in.
25:39Cold fish and batty old Gina.
25:41Only took you one for the album, was it?
25:44I'm on, Gene.
25:46Let's talk about the money-grabbing elephant in the room, shall we?
25:50Well, your missus offered me 20 grand to let a doctor fill me up.
25:54Who would like to say no to that?
25:56So, um, how do you want to do it?
25:58Do you want to transfer the money over or just give me cash?
26:01Oh, look, don't get ahead of yourself.
26:03You haven't even been to the doctors yet.
26:05And when you do go to the surgery, I'm going with you.
26:10Then, when we're sure of your end, you'll get your money.
26:14Shall I pick you up from Phil's, then?
26:22You're having a laugh.
26:23I mean, he hates me more than you lot do.
26:25Listen, I don't suppose that I could stay with you just for a couple of nights.
26:32Cold bench in December.
26:35Well, find yourself Phil Mitchell, eh?
26:37Go and do a bit of groveling.
26:38Go and do a bit of groveling.
26:39Go and do a bit of groveling.
26:40Go and do a bit of groveling.
26:43All right?
26:45Go and do a bit of groveling.
26:52You've got to make the doctor's house.
27:01You've spent a lot of hard on life away.
27:03What?
27:03What?
27:04I'll make sure we're going to have a cup of tea, shall we?
27:24Please, Phil, just leave me out, OK?
27:26Leave me out.
27:28I've heard all I want to hear from you.
27:30But what Jack said, OK, it wasn't a lie.
27:32I found a lump, and I didn't want to, but Jack and Denise have managed to persuade me to get it checked out, right?
27:42And I've got an appointment tomorrow morning.
27:47And I need a bed for the night.
27:52Look, you don't even have to believe me, right?
27:54You can just put this down to Sam being Sam.
27:57But at the end of the day, I am your sister, OK?
28:00We are family, and you're not going to see me out on the street, are you?
28:06You're at Christmas.
28:10You can, uh, get down here by the night.
28:15Keep the noise down.
28:18See?
28:19I knew you had a heart in there somewhere.
28:22Doing me favours, keeping chickens.
28:24Be sure you weren't going soft in your old age.
28:29One night.
28:34It's all right about him.
28:35I mean, you can be a bit of a grunt, but he cares.
28:40Do me a favour.
28:42I think the grunt is more festive than him.
28:44I hope you don't mind my saying that now.
28:51Look, aren't you a bit stressed out this morning?
28:54Well, you could say that.
28:56Yeah.
28:57I had a plan, right?
29:00And then I had another plan, and...
29:02And now I don't know where I am.
29:03I think I'm right back at square one.
29:05Well, I want you to know that Phil's not the only one with a few quid squirreled away.
29:14I'm still your dad, so, um, if you need anything, you just come to me, okay?
29:21Okay.
