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