New pictures reveal Mick (played by Danny Dyer) will be crying out for help when things don’t quite go as planned on the day of the job.
The pub landlord has already tried to back out of the job, enraging Aidan (Patrick Bergin), who has threatened Mick with a gun.
Things will all come to a head with the dodgy dealing when Mick anxiously awaits Aidan’s signal.
However, once his mother, Shirley Carter (Linda Henry), realises what he’s up to, she locks her son in the Queen Vic barrel store.
Mick panics as he knows Aidan is dangerous and he doesn’t want to cross the crime boss again, as this time it could mean his life.
Scenes last week saw the ex-convict threaten to put Mick in a coffin, and if he defies Aidan again he could find himself six feet under.
He is seen open-mouthed in anguish as he knows the clock is against him and he’s got somewhere to be.
Aidan confronts Shirley, but she remains tight-lipped on her son’s whereabouts.
Will Mick be able to get there in time?
Troubled Mick joined Aidan’s mob to earn money for his family who will be forced out of their home in the new year.
The evil Irishman has recruited fellow Albert Square residents Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), Vincent Hubbard (Richard Blackwood), Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) and Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) into his gang of thieves.
EastEnders continues New Year’s Day at 8pm on BBC One.
