Hey, how dare you look at me like that! You have no idea. No idea.

-Sorry, are you talking to me?

-Like I'm some piece of dirt...

-Your words, love, not mine.

-Why don't you shove it, just shove it.

Oi!

Oi!

HE SIGHS

Oh, come on, Lola, it's your first day at work. Shirley will kill you.

Your grandad stuck his neck out for you and you can't even be bothered to get up for work.

Lola? Lola!

-What?

-Oh, I'm sorry.

-Look, sorry, I couldn't hear you.

I was just saying, you're going to be late.

-How can I get ready when Pops is still in the bathroom? You want me to go looking like this, yeah?

-Ok.

No, don't touch that, that's mine!

-I'm just clearing...

-Leave it!

-Put it down.

-Sorry, Lo. Sorry.

See... wasn't my fault, was it?

-Lo, I'd give that a minute if I...

-Eurrggh!

I was you.

-Sorry.

-Until it's official, she can't keep staying here.

-Come on, she's going up for a job.

-Yeah, one that you should have gone up for.

-But if she gets to swing it,

-then we get the residency order, don't we? Besides...

-Besides what?

Well, it's shift work ain't it? A man needs more than that.

We need whatever we can get, Billy.

Come back to bed.

I was beginning to wonder where you'd got to.

Yeah sorry, I, erm... couldn't stop thinking about Rainie.

Rainie? Why, what's she done now?

Nothing. Except she hasn't been back yet.

Oh, thank our lucky stars.

-Yeah, but...

-It's unforgivable, what she said to you last night.

Sorry, Greg, I just... I need to know that she's all right, you know?

Hmm.

Yes, husband.

Having time off from my day job.

There's still some tea left in the pot.

No, I'm fine thanks.

Yeah, I'd love to pick up the tablecloths,

it would be my express joy.

As you wish.

Is everything OK?

I'm sorry, Dad, but if Tam expects me to play the surrendered wife,

then he's in for a big shock.

-He's your husband, you should listen to him.

-You didn't?

-Well, no, but...

-Then Zainab's right.

Dad, you don't even know what the row was about.

-It was about Masood.

-I stand by what I say.

-The man who tried to kill you?

-I've forgiven him and so should you.

Thank you.

I knocked, but...

Sorry, I didn't hear.

Is it OK to pick up Kamil later?

-Yes.

-Right, OK. Till then.

Yes.

-What is...

-He came to see his daughter.

Afia was very rude to Masood yesterday and Tamwar told her off, that's all.

I'm sure it was justified.

I came by, not to see her,

but to see if we could settle our differences.

Apologise and clear the air.

Let me buy you a coffee, please, at least?

No, nobody's turned up, nobody...

Yes!

No, you've still got your spoon in your hand, AND it's double or quits now. Come on, Donkey Kong.

All right, I'm game.

Ooh!

-Bacon roll, please, Shirley.

-Leave it, leave it!

Tyler, look. Look at me.

Leave it.

-And a coffee.

-Look, I'm sorry, I'm busy.

-Get out.

-No, Shirl, please.

-Tea, coffee, anything...

-No!

-Please, even just half a cup of...

-Take your stinking hands off me!

Don't touch me again, all right?

All right?

You dirty skank.

A fire-starter and a psychopath.

No wonder you love him so much.

Weren't there supposed to be an egg here?

-What do you think that is?

-Miss Mitchell?

Carter. And you're late.

Vintage sporting gear.

Anyone with stuff they need to shift.

Yeah, if I can think of any.

Cheers.

Look, I'm sorry, I'm... I've got to visit Ronnie, my head's just...

Yeah, well, of course.

An accident's one thing

but someone doing it on purpose...

Yeah, it's gutting.

-Pleased with yourself?

-Yeah, mostly.

You really think that'll stop me?

A fire?

Don't know, don't care.

-Did you?

-Did I what?

-Burn it?

-That pile of old tat?

Whoever did it did us a favour.

-A favour?

-Yeah.

-Like you did for Ronnie?

-No.

-Stitching her up.

No, no, no, no...

I was protecting you.

-Protecting me?

-Yeah, yeah! Yeah, because she...

-Jack, she was mental!

-Just get out, will you?

-Out!

-No, no! Hang on, hear me out.

We've got to have this conversation, by the way.

What I did was bang out of order.

It was rotten, It was despicable and...

I'm sorry.

Just words, Michael. From you they're cheap.

I know, I know, I know, I know.

But I want this place to work, Jack.

I need you.

I want us to be friends again.

-Friends?

-Yeah, friends, friends.

People think I don't care, people think that I'm cold, heartless.

That I don't need friends, that I don't need family, and it's not true, it's not true. It's wrong.

It's just the feelings stuff, Jack, the feelings stuff. I don't...

You know, when we was kids - you know this - you don't show it.

You hide it. You hide it away.

And that's why when it comes out, it's all broken, and wrong.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's fair enough.

That's... That's fair enough.

Hold up.

Just don't start crying on me.

TYLER WHISTLES

-You are joking.

-I could only find one skip.

You should've seen some of the stuff I didn't bring. Ah! Check this.

Michael - when I'm done with him!

Yeah, great. Great.

We're skint, our stock's gone and you want to get done for assault? Clever, innit?

-Be worth it. Got a better idea?

-Yeah, plenty.

Once I've sold this beaut.

-You ain't got a prayer, bruv.

-Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Bet I can get more for it than you.

Below the belt. You know, I can't say no to a bet, Ty boy.

-Morning, mini Moons!

-Dad.

So. What's the plan?

Well, if anyone tries to stop us,

and I don't care who it is,

big boy games, big boy rules.

-Told you.

-I meant about this place.

I mean, first day open and look at it.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that too.

I have an idea.

-Are you all right?

-Oh, yes.

Tam wants these tablecloths,

and he's in a hurry for them.

Oh. Yeah.

Do you mind?

-I've got a sudden twinge in me hips.

-Sorry.

I didn't mean to...

This is the first one of the day...

-Can I...

-Oh, course.

Now, I can't stop too long, cos all this fresh air...

inclined to bring on one of my migraines.

I believe I may have something of yours.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Thank you.

Oh...

I haven't had the time to...

I'm not normally this...

It's... Last night was, erm...

I can't remember even.

It's gone.

It's like a blank.

Yes.

Suppose you've never, erm...

It's never happened to you, has it?

Well, we all have days we'd rather forget.

Not just days, is it? It's like...

weeks, sometimes whole months.

Oh, don't say that.

A lifetime even.

No, no, you mustn't give up on your hope.

Hope?!

Yeah, what's that?

Look, I've got to fetch something from my house, you know,

and then get back to the launderette.

It's only across there, look,

and if you'd like to come over, you know, when I've finished my shift.

That is unless you're stuck to the seat.

Is the coast clear?

-You didn't come.

-She knows, Max.

-What're you talking about? Who knows?

-Vanessa, she know. She does.

-She does, Max.

-Course she don't.

-Tan, calm down. She don't.

-No, don't!

If you need any help clearing it all...

Thanks, but me and the boys, we'll shift it tomorrow.

It's still a bit raw at the moment.

-Especially with Michael starting it.

-Hmm.

I had this box.

Not that big,

just an ordinary, nothing-to-look-at box.

But it belonged to a cabin boy.

Barely fifteen when he sailed with Lord Nelson

on HMS Victory at Trafalgar.

He kept all his worldly goods inside.

All that history gone.

That's just awful.

-Ah, well, what's done is done, Jeanie.

-What are you are going to do?

We've got these big premises, prime location,

nothing inside it.

Nothing. Doesn't even look like a shop.

Even if we had, I don't know, just a few things...

Ooh, well, I don't know.

-That's a great idea, stroke of genius.

-Is it?

-Jeanie, you are a marvel.

-Am I?

Yeah. This deserves breakfast.

-Have you eaten?

-Well...

My treat. Now, you don't have to worry, just a few items for display.

-Display?

-Yep, nothing for sale.

Just to make it look a bit busy, to tide us over till we can restock.

Well...

I'll get the boys to come and pick up a few things up.

You won't even notice they're gone.

Jeanie, you just saved my life.

All right?

-Can I have a coffee to go, and whatever you're having. Oh, I forgot, you're working.

-Ha(!)

I regret what I said,

only in that it has affected our friendship

and that is the last thing I wanted.

Go on.

No matter how strong my feelings are, I would never dream of trying to act on them again.

Even if, by some miracle, you felt the same,

we both know there's no future there for us, not in this lifetime.

But I hope we can remain friends.

As you know, that means a great deal to me...

-I'm family.

-So?

So it's on the house.

-Come on, give.

-Shirl?

Yeah.

-I think breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

-Me too.

-Two full English breakfasts, please. And tea or coffee?

-Tea.

-Oh, no fried bread, sorry.

-Same. Thank you.

-I saw that.

-What?

-You didn't even ring it in.

Two breakfasts, teas, no fried bread - £5.90.

-How much have you got there?

-£4.10.

I wish I could add up that quick.

Excuse me...

Eh, that wasn't me.

-Yes, it was.

-No, it wasn't.

-If you don't mind.

-I ain't doing it.

-Look, just pick it up.

-No.

-You work in here, you do as I say.

I almost stopped Oscar from having a day out with the girls

cos it would've meant I'd have been on my own with Greg.

I'm a dreadful mum.

Terrible wife, lousy sister.

Now all I can do with you is sit here and moan.

No, it's fine.

Sorry.

Don't be silly.

If someone had told me three months ago, I'd be sat here with you now...

and I'd be happy doing just that, I would've thought they had a screw loose.

Either that or I did.

But it's true.

Same.

What do we do about Vanessa?

Trust me, she might think she knows something, but she don't.

Not for sure, not that it's you.

I should get on.

Yeah, me too.

SHE HUMS TO HERSELF

Oh...

SHE GASPS

-Let's just leave it there.

-No, Tyler.

The things punters come in for, we stick at the back,

-then they have to walk past the things they don't want. But once they've seen...

-Ah, madam!

Can I interest you in this incredible bed?

-Comes with a unique feature that can't be found anywhere else.

-Yeah? What's that?

Me in it!

I didn't know you fancied my husband.

-No, no..

-I'm sure he'll be flattered.

-No, what I meant was.

Ooh. How much?

-We'll that's, erm...

-It's sold.

Had a dealer come in about five minutes ago, put a deposit down.

Sorry. If it was me, I would. But once my brother's given his word...

Yeah, sorry.

-Oh, well...

-Can't we just give him his money back?

-Uh-uh.

Wouldn't you rather let her have it than some grubby little dealer who's probably trying to rip us off.

-Come on, Ty, she's a local girl.

-Shame, but if it's already sold...

Come on, Tyler. Just this once?

-Go on, then.

-But no adding no money to it.

Just cos she's not trade. How much was that leech going to pay anyway?

-About 25? 20 quid?

-40.

40?

Deal.

-OK.

-Thank you.

-See you.

-Bye.

Well, done, boys. Our first sale.

Yeah.

Not on the desk!

It's very nice of Mad Dog to leave this.

Very kind. So, nothing on the desk, nothing in the desk.

Only my stuff. And that phone.

It's not even plugged in, Dad.

So there's none of your secret phone calls

to arrange your secret missions to see your secret girlfriends, eh?

HE LAUGHS

Nah, you've lost me, boys.

No!

You've taken everything. You can't, it's Kat and Alfie's!

I'm sorry, the boys got a bit carried away. But it's OK, nothing's for sale

and they'll put everything back exactly the way it was.

-Yes, but...

-Jeanie, it was your idea.

-Yes... No, but, but, but...

-Look, look...

OK, clearly we've overstepped the mark.

Mea culpa.

We'll put it back. Boys?

No, um...

Oh, um...

Well, only if you promise not to sell any of it?

You have my word.

Upon my honour.

Oh. Well...

OK, then.

-I just took him to the park.

-U-huh.

This age is the best time.

It really is the best time.

Yeah.

What is it?

When I was getting my keys, I...

I can't see my...

I had some medication in here.

-What medication?

-Nothing, really.

-Zee?

-I said it's nothing.

I have a lot to get done today. Come on, Kamil.

-Zee?

-It's none of your business, Masood.

It was in here, I know I had it in here.

Now, there's plenty of hot water and clean towels in the bathroom.

Why are you doing all this for me?

It's not like anyone else can be bothered, not even my own family.

Are you a Good Samaritan, or what?

No, it don't work like that.

No, the parable of the lost sheep.

That's one of my favourites.

Sheep? I've been called some things in my time, but I've never been called a sheep!

I've got something that you might like to have.

Can I just take that shower first?

Oh, I'd have a bath if I was you,

cos the shower is only an attachment on the taps, I use it for me hair.

And I don't want to sound rude, but if I was you

I would stand very close to a bar of soap.

That's in the bathroom too.

Nice elephant.

So it should be, cost a fortune.

About that - if you need anything else, you come to me first, yeah?

I'd hate to see you pay over the odds.

-It was all your stuff in the fire, wasn't it?

-Yeah.

Well, then. And besides, my husband loves a bargain.

And I can't wait to tell him about this one.

-Shirl.

-All right?

-Lo, how's it going?

-All right.

-Are you throwing your money away?

-Eh?

-Found it on the floor.

-Nah, ain't mine.

No, it's mine. Cheers.

Excuse me.

I had some pills in my bag earlier.

-Has anyone seen them, have they handed them in?

-No, sorry, I ain't seen anything.

-I saw them. They were in my bag before you knocked it on the floor.

-I didn't knock it on the floor!

-Yes, you did. The fiver you just found just now, was that mine too?

-No.

-No?

-Tell me what you've done with them.

-Get off of me! I haven't touched your bag.

-Steady on!

-No!

-I have lost my medication, all right?

-Lola?

-No, I haven't!

-If she said she hasn't, then she hasn't.

-Am I supposed to believe you now?

-That's nice(!)

-You're a bunch of liars and cheats.

Now you tell me, what have you done with them?

-What do I want your ugly pills for anyways, eh?

-How dare you!

-All right, that's enough.

Out!

-Fine, see if I care.

-Oh, come on, Shirl.

-I knew it.

-You - out!

Me? She's the one that took them.

How dare you speak to my staff like that. Now get out!

A Bible?

Life can be so cruel to us, Rainie,

but if you have faith, then you have hope.

I see, so what,

like, you get some kind of prize for saving me?

-No. No, no.

-I'm sorry, I just don't believe in this kind of stuff.

Oh, never mind. You might come to it one day.

I think it would be so much simpler if we were kind to each other.

Kind?

Yes. I also think that we should be kind to ourselves.

People are so funny.

We can be so hard on ourselves, Rainie, and there ain't no need.

You think?

You remind me of someone.

-Rose?

-Oh, no, not her, she's me half-sister.

She ain't been round here for years.

I give her that, she weren't interested.

Oh, she's so blousy. She ain't got a good word to say about nobody.

No, I was thinking of a young girl.

Donna.

Donna, who's Donna?

SHE SIGHS

Did you get my message? About the sleeping pills?

-Of course.

-Oh, good.

Thank you.

I was so worried, I know that stupid girl in the cafe had taken them.

With so much going on, how am I ever meant to get any kind of sleep?

It's OK. It's sorted.

My sunglasses. What?

All in all, we pulled it out the bag today, boys.

-So what's it going to be?

-Pint.

-Yeah, please.

Oi, oi, Steptoe and Sons! How's that fire sale? All right?

-You think it's funny!

-Leave it, seriously.

He's right, son. He who wields the knife is never king.

I weren't going to stab him.

I know, I know.

-So what's it going to be, then? Can she stay?

-Shirl?

-Yeah. She'll do.

-Oh, great!

Only a few shifts, mind.

Yeah, I know. Thanks though, Shirl, thanks. See?

Any luck?

I think we're in business. A bit sweaty at first. I thought Dad would have to jack Bella in.

Bella? Who's that...she?

The love of Dad's life.

SHE is his car.

All right.

-What are you having?

-I'll get 'em.

-No, you're all right, I'll get 'em.

Thanks, Pops.

Hey, you did it all yourself, didn't you?

Yeah, it's great.

Thanks.

V?

And then I was with Dot for a couple of hours. Tan...

I'm sorry for all the hurt, and the trouble, and the...

-I really am going to sort myself out this time.

-Good.

Oscar is zonked out, I thought we could...

It's OK,

I can go... Mum'll...

-Stay. Stay with us. It's fine.

-What?

Look, I don't want to get in between you and...

No, it's fine. Honestly, Rain, it's fine.

Excuse me.

Glad to see you two have sorted things out.

It would've been a shame if a few words out of turn had spoiled things.

-Words?

-Well, you know Michael, he's always shooting his mouth off.

Yeah.

Just for the record, Jack...

no-one believed it, no-one.

All that sleeping with Ronnie stuff.

The big affair. No chance.

Eddie's given me a job.

Yeah?

Here, do you want to hear something funny?

You can't tell anyone, right? Not even Eddie. Promise me?

It was me, I burnt the stuff.

-We're friends, yeah?

-Yeah.

Ronnie good in the sack, is she?

-I don't know what you're talking about, Jack.

-I think you do.

-No I don't. Cos I told you, I never went there and you know that.

-Do I?

The problem is it's not me who thinks she's easy, it's you.

Ah!

-You, get in!

-Jack! Argh!
