00:20What sort of novel?
00:22It's breast cancer, just like mum
00:24What's the doctor said?
00:28Because if they get breast cancer early enough, it's treatable, isn't it?
00:30I mean, surely there's something they can do
00:32Oh, she did everything that they asked of her, right?
00:34And the cancer, it's still got her
00:36Me, I'm gonna live a good life for as long as I can
00:40And then, thanks for the memories
00:42No, no, it's treatable, isn't it?
00:44Oi
00:46You have gone and seen a doctor, ain't ya?
00:48Jack, it's a lump
00:50I know how these things work, people are in families
00:52You're seriously telling me you ain't gonna see anyone?
00:54I got away with it once
00:56Before there is no chance that it's not cancer now
01:00I wanted to come back and see Richard for one last time, okay?
01:04Give him some cash in his bank so that he can
01:06Follow his dreams
01:08Don't worry about his dreams
01:10You need to get treatment
01:12Oh God, as if you care
01:14If it were up to you, I'd be dead in a ditch years ago
01:16Pregnant?
01:32How many weeks?
01:34About 14
01:36About 14
01:37So why didn't you say anything?
01:39I've had quite a bit on my mind in case you ain't noticed
01:42Are you lying to me?
01:44I showed Honey the test so if you don't believe me, go and ask her
01:48Yeah, maybe I will
01:50Maybe I will
02:02I just stopped you from making the biggest mistake of your life
02:06You ain't built for prison
02:09It's too late now, George is gonna sing
02:11Oh, the back of the handle, George
02:13Mum, I need that money
02:14Tough!
02:21Phil, wait
02:23Just let me explain it, alright?
02:24Do you know what?
02:25Fever's just another day at the office
02:27But making out your Nigel's long lost daughter
02:30That's low even for you
02:31Look, he was confused
02:33What's going on with him anyway?
02:35Here you go
02:37She'll bust her home and bum her
02:39Phil, come on
02:41She said she might have cancer
02:43Can you believe her?
02:47You're happy?
02:49That's Ricky's nest egg, that's all gone
02:51I can't even afford a flight home
02:53What am I supposed to do now?
02:55Well, look, I'll tell Ricky your plans have changed
02:58You can come out to dinner like he wanted you to
03:00Oh
03:01What, playing happy families with you and Denise and your jumble of kids?
03:05I know, thanks
03:06Well, I thought you might want to leave Ricky a memory of doing more than just letting him down all the time
03:13See you at sixes, yeah?
03:23Honey, can I have a word?
03:27It's about Nicola
03:29She gave me some news
03:31And considering who it is
03:33I just don't know whether to believe it or forget it or
03:36Anyway
03:38She said you could have asked for her
03:42So, is this real?
03:46Yeah
03:47Yeah, I saw the test
03:48It's real
03:49It's real
03:57Right, message from my mum
03:58Anything left over at the caf?
04:00It's all yours
04:01Oh gosh, she's a good woman
04:02Look, no one's gonna forget what you did for Nigel last Christmas
04:05And I'm really sorry to hear about Kim and Howie
04:08Look, at least they went belly up before anybody books any weddings
04:12See you later
04:16You still worrying about Anthony?
04:18Look, we all slap at people sometimes, you know
04:20Maybe you just caught them at the wrong time
04:22Yeah, but after what Howie said, I
04:25You know, he looked me straight in the eyes and said
04:28It's all lies
04:30I didn't doubt him, but
04:32Now I
04:34Well, you have his wife's number, so
04:37Maybe it'd feel better if you got her side of the story
04:40Listen, I'm sorry I rang, but I'm convinced she ain't getting off this stall
04:54How very dare you?
04:55Alright, I'll leave you to it
05:00Why is IMI up so high? Why am I up so high? Why is it so high? Why is it so high?
05:04Why is it so high?
05:05Stank you up since of the afternoon
05:06Listen, it's five o'clock somewhere in the world
05:09Okay, look
05:12Don't you dare move
05:13Ow
05:14Do you hear me?
05:15I couldn't even if I wanted
05:19Look, family dinner tonight, yeah?
05:21Sam's back
05:23What? What's she doing here? Does Ricky know?
05:25Yeah, yeah, she convinced him to bump off school
05:28But what he doesn't know is she said she's ill
05:31Ill? Ill how?
05:33Look, she's found a lump
05:35Even though she hasn't seen the doctor yet
05:36Phil reckons she's lying, which wouldn't surprise me
05:39Because lying just comes natural to her, doesn't it?
05:41Surely she wouldn't lie about something like that
05:43Not after Peggy
05:44Yeah, all I care about is Ricky
05:46Alright, so she can have a dinner with him
05:48And then she can crawl right back under that rock
05:50Yeah, but it sounds like she needs to see a doctor, darling
05:53Not a slap-up dinner
05:54I told her that
05:55Alright, she's a grown-up
05:56But she weren't listening
05:57What else am I supposed to do?
05:58Well, no, she's not a grown-up
06:00Charlie's more mature than she is
06:02She is
06:07Okay, look, let me deal with problem number one
06:10Get her home and off to sleep
06:12And I'll be back to deal with problem number two
06:14Who are you calling problem number one?
06:15You
06:16I'm not a problem, you know
06:17Get yourself up now
06:18What do you mean?
06:19Okay, look at this
06:20Look, don't lean your way into
06:21Come on
06:22What are you doing?
06:31Hey
06:32Hey, mate
06:34You ain't got a tenner for your brother, have you?
06:38Get off
06:39Oh, come on, you never spend all that money in a month or so
06:41No, no, no, Harry, no
06:42I know what you're gonna spend it on
06:43I ain't gonna help you kill yourself
06:45Mum and Dad wouldn't want me to
06:47Oh, them two
06:48Who cares about them?
06:49What?
06:50You know Dad's going down for life
06:52No, he ain't
06:53Yes, he is, Barn
06:54He's bleeding guilty
06:56That means no trial
06:57Straight to jail
06:59And Mum
07:00Mum, she's up the duff from some blokes she hardly knows
07:03They don't care about us
07:04What are you talking about?
07:05Mum's not pregnant
07:06No, you're lying
07:07Just listen to me
07:09All we've got is each other now
07:13Brothers
07:15Barn
07:17Barn
07:20I hope I can drum up a crowd like this for the opening of Peacock Palace
07:47Not a mouthful
07:49Tacky with an overbearing hostess
07:50Not high on most people's hotel wish list, is it?
07:52Still, I'm always wanting to support a new local business
07:54So I'm pretty bubbles inside you
07:55For prospective clients only
07:57He does criminal law
07:59So you have to find someone else to sort out your next divorce
08:02Well, let's hope you don't take after her for customer service
08:05Or dressers
08:07There's a man who's never seen a striped polo shirt he doesn't like
08:09Little weasel
08:10Thought people were supposed to get more mature with those grand
08:11Mm-mm
08:12Oh, attention, here's your not-so-secret admirer at four o'clock
08:15Excuse I
08:16Missed the party?
08:17No, don't be silly
08:18It's warm bubbles and plastic cups
08:19Hopefully it's drummed up some business
08:20Well, I was thinking that the three of us could have a locket
08:21Well, me and you and my grand?
08:23Um, I was thinking more me and Callum
08:24Oh
08:25Is he here?
08:26Um
08:27No, I couldn't make it
08:28I found some store
08:30Well, looks like you've got everything in order here
08:32I'll check in later in the week
08:33Yeah, I'll be here
08:34I'll be here
08:36Yeah, okay
08:38I'll be here
08:39I can't make it
08:41I can't make it
08:42I found some store
08:43Well, looks like you've got everything in order here
08:48I'll check in later in the week
08:49I'll check him later in the week.
08:50Yeah, okay.
08:52He's leaving?
08:53Yep.
08:55I, uh, don't think I was who he came to see.
08:59Excuse me, he's lucky you give him airtime.
09:02You're the best.
09:03Come on.
09:07There she is.
09:08Wicked step-mum.
09:10You come to run me out of town?
09:12Well, why bother?
09:14Oh, sounds like you've cooked up your own little exit plane.
09:18Sounds like Jack's already filled you in, then.
09:20I was just wondering what I should tell Ricky
09:22when he asked why his mum was too selfish to see him finish school.
09:28My mum was the toughest old bird that I've ever met.
09:32She couldn't beat this thing.
09:33How can I?
09:34You don't know there's anything to beat yet, do you?
09:38I mean, there's a million reasons why women get notes in their breasts.
09:41I know what I can handle and what I can't.
09:44I can't do hospitals.
09:47Can't be poked and prodded, no.
09:50I can't.
09:51You've got to fight.
09:53For Ricky.
09:55Come on, he's going to be devastated by this.
09:59Wherever I went, okay, whatever I did, however horrible I was,
10:03I always knew that my mum was there backing me.
10:07She was solid.
10:09Fierce.
10:10It's easy to take that kind of love for granted
10:13because, you know, it ain't ever going away.
10:16I've just always known that I couldn't be that for Ricky.
10:19So me finding some money to give to him,
10:21that was supposed to be my way of saying sorry.
10:23But Phil's ruined that now, hasn't he?
10:26Yeah, but me and Jack will make sure that Ricky never wants for anything.
10:30This isn't about you and Jack.
10:31This is about me finally doing something good for my son.
10:35Then be around for him.
10:37Look after yourself, seriously.
10:41What is it going to take for you to do the right thing here?
10:45I don't know.
10:46Call it 20 grand?
10:50It's not for me, is it?
10:52This is for Ricky's future.
10:54No, seriously.
10:56If you and Jack want me to get checked out,
10:58then I think 20 grand is a bargain.
11:00Gina, where's George?
11:11Oh, I don't know.
11:12Don't give me that.
11:14You two are tight.
11:15What, you're telling me he ain't called you?
11:17Sobbed down the phone to his precious little girl.
11:19Sobbed?
11:20About what?
11:22If I find out that you're lying to me,
11:25getting another job is going to be the least of your worries.
11:30Okay, right.
11:34Number of local GP.
11:37Stuff like this, they should be able to see you tomorrow.
11:40Okay, so we got a deal then, yeah?
11:42You're going to give Ricky 20 grand from me
11:44and you'll, um, you'll square it all with Jack?
11:48You ain't going to like this.
11:50Oh, come on, Denise.
11:51Let's not pretend we don't have ways
11:53of making our blokes agree to things.
11:56All that talk about Ricky.
11:57I should have known that all you care about is cash.
12:01Exactly.
12:02Know your audience.
12:04All right, then.
12:05Look, I'll make the call
12:06and, um, you can get me a coffee, please.
12:12Oh, hello.
12:13Um, yeah, it's Sam Mitchell.
12:16I was just wondering if I could book
12:17an emergency appointment with the GP.
12:19Okay.
12:25What, you got a cancellation?
12:27That's brilliant.
12:29Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
12:30Of course I can hold.
12:41All right, Nan?
12:47Ricky's mum's back.
12:49He wants us to come round for dinner.
12:50What you mean is he wants you and Charlie
12:58to go for dinner.
13:00I doubt he cares anything about me.
13:04Nan, you've been in the house all day again.
13:07I know you ain't got Freddie and the kids
13:08to run after, but
13:09it's not good for you.
13:13What does Kat think about you missing work?
13:15And that GP appointment we spoke about,
13:18you made one?
13:25I'm not a child, Lily.
13:27Stop treating me like one.
13:28You asked me?
13:47Yeah, change plans.
13:49Nicola is searching for you.
14:06Now I saw her, Dad, she's stressed.
14:09What's going on?
14:12Dad?
14:15She's pregnant.
14:19Well, she's... she's paying an angle.
14:24She has to be.
14:26Yeah, that's what I thought, but, um, Honey's seen a test, so...
14:30Sorry, she says.
14:32I mean, that's her family.
14:34Honey's an honest woman.
14:35She wouldn't lie about something like that.
14:38Okay.
14:39Okay, so she's pregnant.
14:41But that don't mean it's yours.
14:43Well, she says she's about 14 weeks, so if she's right, she'd easily be mine.
14:47Well, you know, I haven't even considered being a dad.
14:51Well, I'm sure a new baby won't top of Nicola's bingo list either.
14:57Right.
14:58Okay, you've got to talk to her.
15:01Unless you find out where her head's at, there's no point thinking about anything else.
15:04After the day we've had today, I don't think she'll be speaking to me again.
15:08She's marching around Walford looking for you.
15:10I think she's got something to say.
15:11Right, um, so, there's, er, there's something you need to know before we get over there.
15:23Oh, what's she done now?
15:24No, no, no, no, it's not her, it's, it's me.
15:28Okay, well, it's sort of her, but sort of me, and I'll...
15:31Dee.
15:32She's agreed to go and see the doctor about the lump.
15:34If we give her 20 grand.
15:40But it's for Ricky, in her name.
15:43What?
15:44You're not giving it to her?
15:45I'll get a clue, Jack.
15:47I'm stringing her along.
15:49All I care about is her getting seen to.
15:52And if I have to lie and cheat to get her to do the right thing, then so be it.
16:01Check you out.
16:03Playing Sam at her own game.
16:05I like the way you're working.
16:06Well, I have ways of getting people to do what I want, you know?
16:10No, no, don't.
16:11No.
16:23He sold your wedding ring to buy drugs.
16:28My ring?
16:28When your dad gave me.
16:33Are you really pregnant?
16:37Did Harry tell you that?
16:39He said that dad's going to plead guilty, that he's going to get life.
16:46Oh, Barney.
16:47I wanted to be the one to tell you.
16:53No, Barney, please.
16:55Oh, can't we talk about this?
16:56Please.
17:07Oh, no, Barney.
17:21He is 16 years old!
17:48What? Why'd you have to tell him? Eh? What mystery loves company? Is that it?
17:57I know that me and your dad ain't married anymore, but he gave me that ring as a symbol of love.
18:13It doesn't have to be like this, Harry.
18:17You know, we can pull together. Try harder. Be a proper family again.
18:26You all right, darling? Yeah. Is Zach around? Yeah, he's in the kitchen. But I'm up to me eyes in order, so don't go distracting him.
18:35You all right, darling? Yeah. Is Zach around? Yeah, he's in the kitchen. But I'm up to me eyes in order, so don't go distracting him.
18:50You all right, Zoe? You didn't have to keep ringing. I was gonna call back. What you'd forgotten about us? Even Benny Moe.
18:59Kim told me about Anthony and the restraining order. That is a red flag, Zoe. Yeah, thanks. Why do you think I'm sleeping on Lauren's sofa?
19:08If you want to know who's behind everything, I'd start looking at him.
19:11Sam's back. Did you know that? Yeah. She says she ain't involved, but with her, who knows?
19:17It's him. I know it's him. The cat could be anyone. And till I know the truth, I can't risk you not getting involved again.
19:26Yolandi finally got Kim upstairs. It's been a long time since I've seen a grown woman dance to the Macarena.
19:49I, uh, I spoke to Sophie. I just wanted to hear her side. She didn't say much, though, but, um, she sounded scared.
20:12So now you think I'm the kind of man Harry made me out to be? Just explain. Huh?
20:21Talk to me, Zoe. I don't owe you a thing.
20:35Hello. Hi. You all right? Yeah.
20:37So, where's my gorgeous granddaughter? She's just playing in the front room.
20:44I'll point her out to you. You probably wouldn't recognise her otherwise.
20:48What have you done?
20:50You know, you don't want to come to the party. Party comes to you.
20:54In there. Go on.
20:59This is Charlie's family. Look at Trash, you're embarrassing yourself.
21:02Look, I know Liz was supposed to help, but if it's too much for her, we can go.
21:13And then what? She sits in a dressing gown for the next six months.
21:16At least when she's manic, she's doing stuff. This just feels so much worse.
21:21Come on, let's go in.
21:22Let's go in.
21:36Neutral, Brent.
21:44Barry.
21:46Teddy's innocent.
21:48And I can't sit back and watch him go down for something he didn't do.
21:52It's his choice.
21:54Nobody forced him.
21:56And you wouldn't be saving him.
21:58Anyway, you shoot your mouth off.
22:01Teddy still does time.
22:03He lied to the police.
22:05Him, me and Harry, we'd all go down.
22:08And then what? Barney's left on his own.
22:10For years. I mean, is that what you want?
22:12And he's not the only kid to worry about.
22:16There's your kid.
22:18Being born in prison ain't exactly a good start, is it?
22:22If he's my kid you're carrying.
22:25It's yours.
22:27I don't get about.
22:29Then what am I teaching him if not right from wrong, eh?
22:31Oh, listen to yourself. It's high and mighty.
22:37Teddy will do a couple of years of avert in the course of justice.
22:39He's gonna back down for life. You can't want that for him.
22:43Of course I don't.
22:45This is Teddy's decision, George.
22:48And that's his dad.
22:50So whatever you think of us, and your rights, and your wrongs,
22:54you can't compare with that.
22:55I suppose I would do the same.
23:01If I was in his shoes.
23:04We wouldn't be happy if someone came along and messed it up, so...
23:08I don't like this.
23:11But I will respect Teddy's decision. I'll give him a little shot.
23:15I'll give him a little shot.
23:18Plus...
23:21I didn't want to think about it.
23:25I mean, this baby could be another chance.
23:29If you want it to be.
23:33I don't know.
23:35You ain't as bad a mum as you think you are.
23:38But Barney, he's a cracking lad.
23:40And Harry, yeah, he's a bit of a state, but this is his triumph.
23:45All this, you know, is haunting him.
23:48He was in such a mess when I left.
23:51Do you know what? Actually, George, I think I'd better get back to him.
23:56Hey.
23:58I could come with you.
23:59Yeah.
24:05What?
24:06What is this?
24:09So, er, no Stacey then?
24:13It must be lovely having Zoe back, though.
24:21Nan?
24:24I'm sorry about her. She's just a bit, you know, Nan.
24:26Listen, why don't you take Charlie?
24:27I'll go and play next door, though.
24:29Yeah. Come here, my brother.
24:33Oh, cold fish and batty old Jean.
24:39That wasn't exactly one for the album, was it?
24:42Come on, Jean.
24:44Let's talk about the money-grabbing Elephant in the room, shall we?
24:48Well, your missus offered me 20 grand to let a doctor fill me up.
24:52Who was I to say no to that?
24:54So, um, how do you want to do it?
24:55Do you want to transfer the money over or just give me cash?
24:58Oh, look, don't get ahead of yourself.
25:00We haven't even been to the doctors yet.
25:02And when you do go to the surgery, I'm going with you.
25:07Then, when we're sure of your end, you'll get your money.
25:12All right.
25:13Yeah.
25:14Oh, so shall I pick you up from Phil's then?
25:18You having a laugh? I mean, he hates me more than you lot do.
25:22Um, listen, I don't suppose that I could stay with you just for a couple of nights.
25:28Cold bench in December.
25:30Well, find yourself Phil Mitchell, eh? Go and do a bit of grubbling.
25:33Yeah.
25:38Harry?
25:40Hey?
25:47Nicola.
25:48He's gonna throw his whole life away.
25:58Hey.
26:00Come here.
26:02It's all right.
26:08Phil?
26:10Someone to see you.
26:13I'll make us all a nice cup of tea, shall I?
26:17Please, Phil, just hear me out, okay?
26:19Hear you out.
26:21I've heard all I want to hear from you.
26:23Look, what Jack said, okay, it wasn't a lie.
26:26I found a lump.
26:28And I didn't want to, but...
26:31Jack and Denise have managed to persuade me to get it checked out, right?
26:34And I've got an appointment tomorrow morning.
26:36And?
26:40And I need a bed for the night.
26:43Look, you don't even have to believe me, right?
26:45You can just put this down to Sam being Sam.
26:48But at the end of the day, I am your sister, okay?
26:52We are family.
26:54And you're not gonna see me out on the street, are you?
26:57Not at Christmas.
27:01You can, er...
27:03get down here for the night.
27:04Keeping the noise down.
27:07See?
27:09I knew you had a heart in there somewhere.
27:11Doing me favours, keeping chickens.
27:14You sure you aren't going soft in your old age?
27:17One night.
27:21Sorry about him.
27:22I mean...
27:25He can be a bit of a grump, but he cares.
27:29Oh, do me a favour.
27:31I think the Grinch is more festive than him.
27:36I hope you don't mind my saying, but...
27:39Look, aren't you a bit stressed out this morning?
27:41Well, you could say that, yeah.
27:45I had a plan, right?
27:48And then I had another plan, and...
27:50And now I don't know where I am.
27:51I think I'm right back at square one.
27:54Right.
27:55Well...
27:57I want you to know that...
27:59Phil's not the only one with a few quid squirreled away.
28:02I'm still your dad, so...
28:05If you need anything...
28:07You just come to me, okay?
28:08You just come to me, okay?
