00:01It ain't for me.
00:04What sort of number?
00:06It's breast cancer, just like Mum.
00:09What's the doctor said?
00:11Because if they get breast cancer early enough, it's treatable, innit?
00:14I mean, surely there's something they can do.
00:16Oh, she did everything that they asked her, but right?
00:18And the cancer has still got her.
00:21Me, I'm gonna live a good life for as long as I can,
00:24and then thanks for the memories.
00:26No, no, it's treatable, innit?
00:28Oi, you have gone and seen a doctor, innit?
00:31Jack, it's a lump.
00:33I know how these things work.
00:35They run in families.
00:36Are you seriously telling me you ain't gonna see anyone?
00:39I got away with it once before there is no chance that it's not cancer now.
00:45I wanted to come back and see Richard for one last time, okay?
00:48Give him some cash in his bank so that he can follow his dreams.
00:52Don't worry about his dreams.
00:54You need to get treatment.
00:56Oh, God, as if you care.
00:58If it were up to you, I'd be dead in a ditch years ago.
01:01Pregnant?
01:02How many weeks?
01:03About 14.
01:04So why didn't you say anything?
01:05I've had quite a bit on my mind in case you ain't noticed.
01:08Are you lying to me?
01:09I showed Honey the test, so if you don't believe me, go and ask her.
01:13Yeah.
01:14Maybe I will.
01:15Yeah.
01:16Maybe I will.
01:18I just stopped you.
01:19from making the biggest mistake you made.
01:20I just stopped you from making the biggest mistake you made.
01:21I just stopped you from making the biggest mistake you made.
01:22How many weeks?
01:23How many weeks?
01:24You ain't built for prison.
01:25You ain't built for prison.
01:26It's too late now.
01:27George is going to sing.
01:28No, I can handle George.
01:29Mum, I need that money.
01:30Tell me.
01:31You ain't built for prison.
01:33Yeah, maybe I will.
01:46I just stopped you from making the biggest mistake of your life.
01:51You ain't built for prison.
01:53It's too late now. George is going to sing a...
01:55Oh, if I can handle George.
01:56Mum, I need that money.
02:00Lee.
02:03Phil, wait!
02:06Just let me explain it, all right?
02:08Do you know what?
02:09Fever's just another day at the office,
02:10but making out your Nigel's long-lost store,
02:13that's low even for you.
02:15Look, he was confused.
02:17What's going on with him, anyway?
02:19Here you go.
02:20It's your bus fare home and bummer you.
02:22Phil, come on.
02:25She said she might have cancer.
02:27How do you believe her?
02:29You're happy?
02:32That's Ricky's nest egg.
02:34That's all gone.
02:35I can't even afford a flight home.
02:37What am I supposed to do now?
02:39Well, look, I'll tell Ricky your plans have changed.
02:42You can come out to dinner like he wanted you to.
02:44Oh!
02:45What, playing happy families with you and Denise
02:47and your jumbler kids?
02:48I know, thanks.
02:50Well, I thought you might want to leave Ricky a memory
02:52of doing more than just letting him down all the time.
02:55See you at 60's, yeah?
02:58Honey, can I have a word?
03:12It's about Nicola.
03:14She gave me some news.
03:16And considering who it is, I just don't know whether to believe it
03:19or forget it or...
03:21Anyway.
03:22She said you could have to support her.
03:26So, is this real?
03:30Yeah.
03:31Yeah, I saw the test.
03:32It's real.
03:41Right, message from my mum.
03:42Anything left over at the caf?
03:44It's all yours.
03:45Oh, gosh, she's a good woman.
03:46Look, no-one's gonna forget what you did for Nigel last Christmas.
03:48Mm-hmm.
03:49And I'm really sorry to hear about Kim and Howie.
03:52I mean, look, at least they went belly-up
03:54before anybody books any weddings.
03:56See you later.
03:59You still wearing a bow tant, aren't you?
04:02Look, we all slap at people sometimes, you know?
04:04Maybe you just caught them at the wrong time.
04:06Yeah, but after what Howie said, I...
04:09You know, he looked me straight in the eye and said,
04:11it's all lies.
04:13I didn't doubt him, but...
04:16Oh, Maria.
04:17Well, you have his wife's number, so...
04:20Maybe you'd feel better if you got her a side of the story.
04:23Listen, I'm sorry I rang, but I'm convinced she ain't getting off this stall.
04:37How very dare you!
04:38All right, I'll leave you to it.
04:44Why am I up so high?
04:46Why am I up so high?
04:47Why is it so high?
04:48Why is it so high?
04:49Stank you up for the afternoon.
04:50Listen, it's five o'clock somewhere in the world!
04:53OK, look, don't you dare move!
04:57Ow!
04:58Do you hear me?
04:59I couldn't even if I wanted!
05:03Look, family dinner tonight, yeah?
05:05Sam's back.
05:06What?
05:07What's she doing here?
05:08Does Ricky know?
05:09Yeah.
05:10Yeah, she convinced him to bump off school.
05:12But what he doesn't know is she said she's ill.
05:15Ill?
05:16Ill how?
05:17Look, she's found a lump.
05:19Even though she hasn't seen the doctor yet.
05:21Phil reckons she's lying, which wouldn't surprise me,
05:23because lying just comes natural to her, doesn't it?
05:25Surely she wouldn't lie about something like that.
05:27Not after Peggy.
05:28Yeah, all I care about is Ricky.
05:30Right, so she can have a dinner with him,
05:32and then she can crawl right back under that rock.
05:34Yeah, but it sounds like she needs to see a doctor, darling,
05:37not a slap-up dinner.
05:38I told her that, all right?
05:39She's a grown-up, but she weren't listening.
05:41What else am I supposed to do?
05:42Well, no, she's not a grown-up.
05:44Charlie's more mature than she is.
05:46OK, look, let me deal with problem number one,
05:53get her home and off to sleep,
05:55and I'll be back to deal with problem number two.
05:58Who are you calling problem number one?
05:59You.
06:00I'm not a problem, you know.
06:01Get yourself up now.
06:02What do you mean?
06:03OK, look, look.
06:04Don't lean your way into it.
06:05Come on.
06:06Wait a minute.
06:13What are you doing?
06:15Hey.
06:16Hey, mate.
06:17You ain't got a tenner for your brother, have you?
06:22Get off.
06:23Oh, come on.
06:24You never spend all that money in a month or so.
06:25No, no, no, Harry.
06:26No.
06:27I know what you're going to spend it on.
06:28I ain't going to help you kill yourself.
06:29Mum and Dad wouldn't want me to.
06:31Oh, them two.
06:32Who cares about them?
06:33What?
06:34You know Dad's going down for life.
06:36No, he ain't.
06:37Yes.
06:38He is, Barn.
06:39He's bleeding guilty.
06:40That means no trial.
06:41Straight to jail.
06:43And Mum.
06:44Mum, she's up the duff from some blokes she hardly knows.
06:47They don't care about us.
06:48What are you talking about?
06:49Mum's not pregnant.
06:50No, you're lying.
06:51Just listen to me.
06:52All we've got is each other now.
06:56Brothers.
06:57Come on.
06:59Barney!
07:22I hope I can drum up a crowd like this for the opening of Peacock Palace.
07:31Oh, mouthful.
07:32Tacky with an overbearing hostess.
07:34Not high on most people's hotel wish list, is it?
07:37Still, I'm always wanting to support a new local business, so I'm free bubbles inside you.
07:40For prospective clients only.
07:42He does criminal law.
07:43So you have to find someone else to sort out your next divorce.
07:46Ah, well, let's hope you don't take after her for a customer service.
07:50Bordress sense.
07:51Says a man who's never seen a striped polo shirt he doesn't like.
07:56Little weasel.
07:57Thought people were supposed to get more mature of age, Ben.
07:59Mm-mm.
08:00Oh, attention.
08:01Here's your not-so-secret admirer at four o'clock.
08:03Excuse I.
08:07Missed the party?
08:08No, don't be silly.
08:09It's warm bubbles and plastic cups.
08:10Hopefully it's drummed up some business.
08:12Well, I was thinking that the three of us could have a lock-in.
08:15What, me and my grown?
08:18Um, I was thinking more me and Callum.
08:20Oh.
08:21Is he here?
08:22Um...
08:23No, I couldn't...
08:24I couldn't make it.
08:25You're parents with his daughter.
08:29Well, looks like you've got everything in order here.
08:32I'll check in later in the week.
08:34Yeah, okay.
08:36Are you sleeping?
08:37Yep.
08:38I, er...
08:39I don't think I was who he came to see.
08:43Well, excuse me.
08:44He's lucky you give him air time.
08:46You're the best.
08:47Come on.
08:51There she is.
08:52The wicked step-mum.
08:54You come to run me out of town?
08:56Well, why bother?
08:58Oh, sounds like you've cooked up your own little exit plan.
09:02Sounds like Jack's already filled you in then.
09:04Look, I was just wondering what I should tell Ricky.
09:06When he asked why his mum was too selfish to see him finish school.
09:12My mum was the toughest old bird that I've ever met.
09:16She couldn't beat this thing.
09:18How can I?
09:19Look, you don't know there's anything to beat yet, do you?
09:23I mean, there's a million reasons why I'm going to get lumps in their breasts.
09:26I know what I can handle and what I can't.
09:29Okay?
09:30I can't do hospitals.
09:32I can't be poked and prodded.
09:33No, I can't.
09:35But you've got to fight.
09:37For Ricky!
09:39Come on, he's going to be devastated by this.
09:43Wherever I went, okay, whatever I did, however horrible I was,
09:47I always knew that my mum was there backing me.
09:51She was solid.
09:53Fierce.
09:55It's easy to take that kind of love for granted because you know it ain't ever going away.
10:00I've just always known that I couldn't be that for Ricky.
10:03So me finding some money to give to him, that was supposed to be my way of saying sorry.
10:08But Phil's ruined that now, hasn't he?
10:11Yeah, but me and Jack will make sure that Ricky never wants for anything.
10:14This isn't about you and Jack, this is about me finally doing something good for my son.
10:20Then be around for him.
10:22Look after yourself, seriously.
10:25What is it going to take for you to do the right thing here?
10:29I don't know.
10:31Call it 20 grand?
10:32It's not for me, is it?
10:36This is for Ricky's future.
10:38No, seriously.
10:40If you and Jack want me to get checked out, then I think 20 grand is a bargain.
10:44It's a bargain.
10:54Gina, where's George?
10:55Oh, I don't know.
10:57Don't give me that.
10:58You two are tight.
11:00What, you telling me ain't called ya?
11:01Sobbed down the phone to his precious little girl.
11:03Sobbed?
11:04About what?
11:06If I find out that you're lying to me, getting another job is going to be the least of your worries.
11:16Okay, right.
11:18Number of local GP.
11:21With stuff like this, they should be able to see you tomorrow.
11:24Okay, so we got a deal then, yeah?
11:26You're gonna give Ricky 20 grand from me and you'll, erm, you'll square it all with Jack?
11:32You ain't gonna like this.
11:34Oh, come on, Denise.
11:36Let's not pretend we don't have ways of making our blokes agree to things.
11:40All that talk about Ricky.
11:43I should have known that all you care about is cash.
11:46Exactly.
11:47Know your audience.
11:49All right, then.
11:50Look, I'll make the call and, erm, you can get me a coffee, please.
11:56Oh, hello, erm, yeah, it's Sam Mitchell.
12:00I-I was just wondering if I could book an emergency appointment with the GP.
12:09What, you got a cancellation?
12:12That's brilliant.
12:14Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
12:15Of course I can hold.
12:16You're right, Nan.
12:18Rikki's mum's back.
12:20He wants us to come to have dinner.
12:25What you mean is, he wants you and Charlie to go for dinner.

14:19she wouldn't lie about something like that okay okay so she's pregnant but I don't mean it's yours
14:26well she says she's about 14 weeks so she's right she'd easily be mine you know I haven't even

14:38right okay you've got to talk to her unless you find out where her head's at there's no point
14:47thinking about anything else after the day without a day I don't think she'll be speaking to me

15:37to lie and cheat to get her to do the right thing then so be it check you out

17:01oh
17:03oh
17:05oh
17:28oh
17:29oh
17:30oh
17:31oh
17:32oh
17:33oh
17:34oh
17:35oh
17:36oh
17:37oh
17:38oh
17:39oh
17:40oh
17:41oh

17:56oh
17:57oh
17:58Harry, you know, we can pull together, try harder, be a proper family again.
18:26You all right, darling?
18:28Yeah.
18:28Is Zach around?
18:30Yeah, he's in the kitchen, but I'm up to me eyes in order, so don't go distracting him.
18:37You all right, Zoe?
18:38He's enough to keep ringing. I was going to call back.
18:41What you'd forgotten about us, even Benny Moe.
18:44But Kim told me about Anthony and the restraining order.
18:47That is a red flag, Zoe.
18:48Yeah, thanks. Why do you think I'm sleeping on Lauren's sofa?
18:52If you want to know who's behind everything, I'll start looking at him.
18:55Sam's back.
18:56Did you know that?
18:57Yeah.
18:57She says she ain't involved, but with her, who knows?
19:01It's him.
19:02I know it's him.
19:04The cat could be anyone.
19:05Until I know the truth, I can't risk you lot getting involved again.
19:09Yolandi finally got Kim upstairs.
19:14It's been a long time since I've seen a grown woman dance to the Macarena.
19:33I, uh, I spoke to Sophie.
19:45I just wanted to hear her side.
19:50She didn't say much, though, but, um, she sounded scared.
19:55So now you think I'm the kind of man how he made me out to be.
20:00Just explain.
20:02Huh?
20:05Talk to me, son.
20:06I don't owe you a thing.
20:08Hello.
20:20Hi.
20:20You all right?
20:21Yeah.
20:21So, where's my gorgeous grandeur?
20:28She's just playing in the front room.
20:29I'll point her out to you.
20:30You probably wouldn't recognise her otherwise.
20:32What have you done?
20:33You know, you don't want to come to the party party, it comes to you.
20:38In there, go on.
20:43This is Charlie's family.
20:45Look at Trish, you're embarrassing yourself.
20:53Look, I know this was supposed to help, but if it's too much for her, we can go.
20:57And then what?
20:58She sits in a dressing gown for the next six months.
21:01At least when she's manic, she's doing stuff.
21:02This just feels so much worse.
21:05Come on, let's go in.
21:20Neutral brand.
21:28Barry.
21:31Teddy's innocent.
21:32And I can't sit back and watch him go down for something he didn't do.
21:37It's his choice.
21:39Nobody forced him.
21:40And you wouldn't be saving him.
21:42Anyway, you shoot your mouth off.
21:45Teddy still does time.
21:47We lied to the police.
21:49Him, me, and Harry.
21:51We'd all go down.
21:52And then what, Barney's left on his own for years.
21:54I mean, is that what you want?
21:57And he's not the only kid to worry about.
22:00There's your kid.
22:01Being born in prison ain't exactly a good start, is it?
22:05If, uh, he's my kid you're carrying.
22:09It's yours.
22:11I don't get a bow.
22:13Then what am I teaching it to me?
22:14Not right from wrong, eh?
22:15Oh, listen to yourself.
22:17He's the high and mighty.
22:18Teddy will do a couple of years.
22:22But Bert, in the course of justice, he's going to go down to life.
22:26You can't want that for him.
22:27Of course I don't.
22:29This is Teddy's decision, George.
22:33As is Ted.
22:33So whatever you think of us, and your rights, and your wrongs, can't compare with that.
22:44I suppose I would do the same.
22:46If I was in his shoes, I wouldn't be happy if someone came along and messed it up, so.
22:54I don't like this.
22:57But I will respect Teddy's decision.
22:59I'll give you Mel a shot.
23:00Plus, we, uh, got a little one to think about.
23:09I mean, this baby could be another chance.
23:13If you want it to be.
23:17I don't know.
23:19You ain't as bad a mum as you think you are.
23:22I mean, for Barney, he's a cracking lad.
23:24You know, Harry, yeah, he's a bit of a state, but at least he's trying.
23:26All this, you know, is haunting him.
23:32He was in such a mess when I left.
23:34Do you know what?
23:35Actually, George, I think I'd better get back to him.
23:40Mate.
23:42I could come with you.
23:44Yeah.
23:44So, er, no Stacey, then?
23:55Come on.
23:57It must be lovely having Zoe back, though.
24:05Mum?
24:05I'm sorry about her.
24:09She's just a bit, you know, man.
24:10Listen, why don't you take Charlie?
24:12Go and play next door, though.
24:13Yeah.
24:13Come in, I'm back.
24:14Come in.
24:15Yes, come in.
24:21Oh, cold fish and batty old Gina.
24:24Weren't exactly one for the album, was it?
24:26Come on, Jean.
24:27Let's talk about the money-grabbing elephant in the room, shall we?
24:32Well, your missus offered me 20 grand to let a doctor fill me up.
24:36Who was I to say no to that?
24:38So, um, how do you want to do it?
24:39Do you want to transfer the money over or just give me cash?
24:42Oh, look, don't get ahead of yourself.
24:44We haven't even been to the doctors yet.
24:46And when you do go to the surgery, I'm going with you.
24:51Then, when we're sure of your end, you'll get your money.
24:55Okay.
24:57All right.
24:59Yeah.
24:59Oh, so shall I pick you up from Phil's then?
25:02You having a laugh?
25:03I mean, he hates me more than you lot do.
25:06Um, listen, I don't suppose that I could stay with you just for a couple of nights.
25:12Cold bench in December.
25:14Well, find yourself Phil Mitchell, eh?
25:16Go and do a bit of groveling.
25:22Harry?
25:24Hey?
25:27Nicola.
25:39He's going to throw his whole life away.
25:42Hey.
25:43All right.
25:45It's all right.
25:46It's all right.
25:46Phil?
25:55Someone to see you.
25:57I'll make us all a nice cup of tea, shall I?
25:59Please, Phil, just hear me out, okay?
26:03Hear you out.
26:05I've heard all I want to hear from you.
26:07Look, what Jack said, okay, it wasn't a lie.
26:10I found a lump.
26:12And I didn't want to, but Jack and Denise have managed to persuade me to get it checked out, right?
26:18And I've got an appointment tomorrow morning.
26:23And?
26:23And I need a bed for the night.
26:28Look, you don't even have to believe me, right?
26:30You can just put this down to Sam being Sam.
26:33But at the end of the day, I am your sister.
26:35Okay?
26:36Hey, we are family.
26:38And you're not going to see me out on the street, are you?
26:41Not at Christmas.
26:45You can, uh, get down here by the night.
26:50Keep the noise down.
26:52See?
26:53I knew you had a heart in there somewhere.
26:56Doing me favours.
26:57Keeping chickens.
26:59You sure you weren't getting soft in your old age?
27:02One night.
27:06Uh, sorry about him.
27:09I mean, he can be a bit of a grump, but he cares.
27:13Oh, do me a favour.
27:15I think the Grinch is more festive than him.
27:20I hope you don't mind my saying that.
27:24Looked like you were a bit stressed out this morning.
27:27Well, you could say that, yeah.
27:30I had a plan, right?
27:32And then I had another plan, and now I don't know where I am.
27:35I think I'm right back at square one.
27:38Right.
27:39Well, I want you to know that Phil's not the only one with a few quid squirreled away.
27:46I'm still your dad, so, um, if you need anything, you just come to me, okay?
27:53I'm still your dad.
27:53Okay.
27:54I'm still your dad.
27:55I'm still your dad.
27:57I'm still your dad.
