0:00:30 > 0:00:31Mum, wait!

0:01:00 > 0:01:02- Mum?- Hi.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05What are you doing here?

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Can I come in?

0:01:23 > 0:01:24Mum!

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Good morning, ladies!

0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Oh, Dr Carter. - Morning, Heston.

0:01:38 > 0:01:39You frightened the life out of me!

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs Tembe.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43You're very bright this morning.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Did you have a good weekend? - Lovely! And you?

0:01:45 > 0:01:48- Quiet. - Good, good, good. Excellent.

0:01:48 > 0:01:49Dr Carter?

0:01:49 > 0:01:50Mmm-hmm?

0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Are you...?- What?

0:01:54 > 0:01:55You just seem...

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Well, I don't know. Somewhat different.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Really?

0:02:00 > 0:02:03I am sorry, Dr Carter. It is none of my business.

0:02:03 > 0:02:04No, I'm fine.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Really. I am ABSOLUTELY fine. Thank you.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15He's not, is he? There's something up with him.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20That was my favourite picture of us.

0:02:20 > 0:02:21I know.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Your dad always loved it.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Come on, Mum. Let's just get you home.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28- No!- You know what the doctor said about your blood pressure.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30I can't leave it like this.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Well, we'll come back later and clear everything up. I promise.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Why are they doing this to me?

0:02:38 > 0:02:40I don't know.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52I mean, it's not that Heston and I don't love each other.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54We DO. Probably too much.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56God, don't you ever clean up?

0:02:56 > 0:02:57It's fine.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01I mean, in the end, I think we were probably too alike.

0:03:01 > 0:03:02It was an impossible match.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Too "alike"?

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Yeah. We'd never be able to live together. It was hopeless.

0:03:07 > 0:03:08Right(!)

0:03:08 > 0:03:11- It's much better THIS way. - What way?

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Having a bit of space between us. There's much less pressure.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Leave it! - I don't mind. Honestly.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20- I'll do it. - It'll be like old times. I can make you something nice for lunch.

0:03:20 > 0:03:21I said leave it!

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Do you know one thing I won't miss? Heston's cooking.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26It was always so fancy.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28You could never just have good, simple food.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Got on your nerves, did it?

0:03:34 > 0:03:35SHE GASPS

0:03:35 > 0:03:37What do you live on, Ian? There's nothing in here.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39You need someone to look after you.

0:03:39 > 0:03:40That was a hint, by the way.

0:03:42 > 0:03:43Come on!

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Have you got a girlfriend?

0:03:46 > 0:03:47You can tell ME.

0:03:47 > 0:03:48I'm your mother!

0:03:48 > 0:03:51You've done it again. You can't help yourself.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53- I don't know what you're talking about.- You don't?

0:03:55 > 0:03:58If I'm going to do lunch, I'd better get the shopping in.

0:04:01 > 0:04:02'What happened?'

0:04:02 > 0:04:05She just said she didn't feel the same way about me.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Just like that? - She didn't give a reason?

0:04:07 > 0:04:11Nope. Anyway, I thought it was best you all knew.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13You were so perfect for each other.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14- Well... - You really had no idea?

0:04:14 > 0:04:15No.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19- So she just ended it, just like that? - But that doesn't sound like Marina.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Maybe there were hints and I didn't see them.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23- What kind of hints? - I don't know.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25- Maybe she'll change her mind. - I don't think so.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29- People do.- It's definitely over. One of those things, I'm afraid.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33- So what are you going to do? - Get on with work, I suppose.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37No! What you are going to do is have a nice hot cup of tea.

0:04:38 > 0:04:39Come.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43I will make you a special pot.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Hey. Excuse me. Thank you.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Why aren't you at college?

0:04:55 > 0:04:56You going in at all today?

0:04:56 > 0:04:57Haven't decided yet.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Typical!- Mother!

0:04:59 > 0:05:02If you're not going in, can you take your nan to the doctor?

0:05:02 > 0:05:03- Why?- Because she's not well.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06There's nothing wrong with her!

0:05:06 > 0:05:08- You all right?- I'm not sure.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13She's faking it. I can't believe you fall for this.

0:05:13 > 0:05:14TEXT MESSAGE BEEPS

0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Alice, please don't. - She wants attention.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18- I need to go into work. - I'm not looking after her.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Just for a couple of hours! - She can look after herself.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24Don't you care about anyone apart from yourself?

0:05:24 > 0:05:26- WHISPERS:- Why should I?

0:05:29 > 0:05:31I don't know why you let her behave like that!

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Don't start.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35I suppose I'll have to go to the doctor's on my own.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37You can't.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39If your job is more important...

0:05:39 > 0:05:41It's not. I'll take you.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43I think it might be my heart.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Look, I said I'll take you! Just don't make a meal out of it.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54These sudden changes in life are always distressing.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Yes.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58You know, when Akono first left my house,

0:05:58 > 0:05:59I did not know what to think,

0:05:59 > 0:06:02but, as you say, it is just one of those things.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04I'm afraid so.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08But what WE have to do is get on with our lives.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Thank you, Mrs Tembe.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14No, it is my pleasure, Dr Carter.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21So, you are a bachelor again.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Footloose and fancy-free!

0:06:30 > 0:06:31They were the dream couple.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Obviously not.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34It doesn't add up.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Why not? - He's not telling us everything.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38I think he probably was.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Can't believe they've split up.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42IF they really have. It might not be final.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Depends what's happened.

0:06:44 > 0:06:45Sounded final to me.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47I wish they'd get back together.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49I wouldn't hold your breath.

0:06:49 > 0:06:50Look at him.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Mind you, even if they do, it's probably too late.- For what?

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Well, there's not much time left, is there?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59We've got to finalise everything. I mean, do I invite Marina?

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Do I put her on a separate table?

0:07:01 > 0:07:04- You thinking about the wedding? - Yes.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Wow!- What?! It's important.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08I'm sorry that I'm late.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10What, is he in a mood with me?

0:07:10 > 0:07:11No. It's nothing.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Cherry, could we talk...?

0:07:15 > 0:07:16Freya! I haven't got time for this.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Oh! Dr Wilson. You're a bit late!

0:07:22 > 0:07:23Sorry.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27I'm sorry Alice missed her appointment with you.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30I don't know how many times I reminded her. Teenagers!

0:07:30 > 0:07:33If you could get her to reschedule.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Yeah, I'll try. Not that she ever listens to me.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39OK, well, there don't seem to be any signs of haemorrhages, Mrs Frears.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41I suspect that you just had is a bit of a panic attack.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Drugs.- What?- They're all on drugs.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48She's, er, talking about the people who desecrated the grave.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Ah.- They don't know what they're doing half the time!

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Right, but getting upset about it isn't going to help your blood pressure.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Easy for you to say.

0:07:57 > 0:07:58Mother!

0:07:58 > 0:08:02OK, we could try to change your medication.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04But the main thing is to try to avoid stress, OK?

0:08:08 > 0:08:10How could you hit a man like Heston of all people?

0:08:10 > 0:08:12He wouldn't hurt a fly. And he loved you.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Hope I didn't get too much.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16You think I don't know what you do?

0:08:16 > 0:08:18- It's not what you think. - Isn't it?

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Look, just shush!

0:08:20 > 0:08:22No, I won't. Once you start, you can't stop.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30I can't believe she just dumped him out of the blue like that.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Are you saying Dr Carter is lying?

0:08:34 > 0:08:36No, no. I just think there's more to it.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41Well, if there is, Dr Carter is too much of a gentleman to give away a lady's secrets.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Still...

0:08:44 > 0:08:47But I must say, I have always had my doubts about Mrs Bonnaire.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50She was never the right woman for Dr Carter.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Well, I think she was. I think we all did.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55It's very sad.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02I do not know why everyone thinks this is the end of the world.

0:09:02 > 0:09:03Me neither.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07It's not like Heston's the only one in the world that's going through a crisis.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09I do not even think it is a crisis.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11It might turn out to be for the best.

0:09:11 > 0:09:12You think?

0:09:12 > 0:09:14If she was the wrong person for him,

0:09:14 > 0:09:17the sooner he moves on, the better.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19You mean, find somebody else?

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Provided she is the right person for him.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Well, it would certainly make my life easier.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26So sorry to have wasted your time.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Not at all. Always better to be safe.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31- And do get Alice to make another appointment.- Yeah, but...

0:09:31 > 0:09:33You go ahead, Mum. You'll be fine.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35She will be all right, won't she?

0:09:35 > 0:09:37- She should be. - I never know with her.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Well, obviously, the less stress she's under,

0:09:40 > 0:09:44- the better her chances of managing her blood pressure.- It's not easy.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47- No. I expect she's still getting over your father's death. - We all are.

0:09:51 > 0:09:56Do you have any idea what it's like to grow up in a house where your mother beats your father up?

0:09:56 > 0:09:59- It wasn't ALL the time.- He used to lie to me about his bruises...

0:09:59 > 0:10:02as if I didn't know. And YOU used to lie to me about everything.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06Did you think I was stupid? I couldn't see what was right in front of me?

0:10:06 > 0:10:10- I never thought you were stupid. - I hated my father for being so weak and dishonest.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Men are supposed to be strong.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16How could I look up to a man who couldn't even stand up for himself?

0:10:16 > 0:10:17He never even tried to stop you.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20No matter how hard you hit him, he just let you do it.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23You need to eat.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26I thought it was his fault that you kept hitting him.

0:10:26 > 0:10:27I actually felt sorry for you,

0:10:27 > 0:10:31that you had to live with such a loser.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33You'll feel better after some food.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37Are you even LISTENING to me?

0:10:39 > 0:10:40LOUD MUSIC

0:10:45 > 0:10:46That's all I need(!)

0:10:46 > 0:10:48I'll deal with it.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49Like you did yesterday?

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Mother, I said I'll deal with it, and I will. But you need some lunch.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56- I have to go back and clean up the grave.- After lunch.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58SHOUTS: Alice! Will you turn that down!

0:10:58 > 0:11:00- Drugs!- What? - It's the drugs she's on.

0:11:00 > 0:11:06- She's not on drugs! - That girl needs a father. If you'd worked at your marriage...

0:11:06 > 0:11:10- I did, but he cheated on me all the time.- You could have ignored him. He was your husband.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13He was a liar and a cheat and the best thing I ever did was to kick him out.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17You don't give up on a marriage at the first hurdle. Not if you care about your children.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30It was you, wasn't it?

0:11:30 > 0:11:31At the cemetery.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35Do you have you any idea what this is doing to your nan?!

0:11:35 > 0:11:36What it's doing to me?

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Do you want her to die?

0:11:41 > 0:11:42No.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44- How can you be so vicious? - Me?

0:11:44 > 0:11:45You know how ill she is.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48There are lots of ways of being vicious.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Why are you doing this?

0:11:53 > 0:11:54It's not about her.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58You're vandalizing her husband's grave! Of course it's about her!

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Why, Alice? Why?

0:12:00 > 0:12:01Your grandad loved you.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07You've got everything so twisted up in your mind.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09I'm not the one who's twisted.

0:12:09 > 0:12:10And he didn't love me.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12He did. He'd have done anything for you.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14He was a pig!

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Mum?

0:12:39 > 0:12:41All I said was it would be easier if Heston had a partner.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45- It's not that I don't care about him. I care about everyone. - Of course you do.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49- I feel sorry for him, but it's ruining all my plans. - I'm sure we can work it out.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53Every time I talk about it, it's like I'm the worst thing since sliced bread.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55- It can't be as bad as that.- It is. - Let's have a look.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58- It's hopeless! - Nothing's ever hopeless.

0:12:58 > 0:12:59Well, THIS is.

0:12:59 > 0:13:00Fresh pair of eyes.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03OK, all I can see we can do is move Mrs Henderson.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05But that means putting her on a table with the Fenwicks.

0:13:05 > 0:13:09- You can't do that. They'll be at each other's throats.- Exactly.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12So we're either going to have an overcrowded table or a table with an empty space.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15How about we have a bit of lunch,

0:13:15 > 0:13:17and then we can put our thinking caps on.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Don't do this.- What? - I know what you're doing.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21- I'm not doing anything. - I'm not hungry.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23But you said you wanted to come out.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26This has got nothing to do with my blood sugar levels.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30- I never said it did. - This is your solution! "Have food and it'll go away."

0:13:30 > 0:13:34- Some things just don't have a solution.- Where are you going?

0:13:34 > 0:13:39- I'm going to the loo.- What do you want to eat?- I don't care.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41She's just hungry. Low blood sugar.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46Hello, Kath. It's Dr Granger. I had a message your mother's not well.

0:13:46 > 0:13:51She's had a bit of a shock. She's complaining that she's got a headache and she's short of breath.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53It's probably nothing.

0:13:53 > 0:13:54Any other symptoms?

0:13:54 > 0:13:57She's also saying she's having heart palpitations,

0:13:57 > 0:13:59but she could be making it up. She's done that before.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01OK, look, I'm on house calls.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Why don't I pop over and see how she is?

0:14:04 > 0:14:06- 'Are you sure?' - Yep. It's no problem.

0:14:06 > 0:14:07- 'Thanks a lot.'- OK, bye.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09That was the doctor.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11He's going to come round and see you.

0:14:11 > 0:14:12Mother?

0:14:14 > 0:14:17It wouldn't kill you to say thanks once in a while(!)

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Cherry!

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Are you following me?

0:14:24 > 0:14:25No.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28Look, I know you think I betrayed your trust.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30Yes.

0:14:32 > 0:14:33Sorry.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37But it really is just a big misunderstanding.

0:14:39 > 0:14:40- Is it?- Yeah.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43If you'll let me explain myself.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46I'm sorry, Freya, I've got more important things to worry about.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48Well, later, then?

0:14:48 > 0:14:49Maybe.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56We all thought you were made for each other.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Mm! It's funny how things can look so different from the outside.

0:14:59 > 0:15:03Well, they always do, don't they, when you don't know the whole story?

0:15:03 > 0:15:07How many times do you see a couple and think, "What on earth have they got in common"?

0:15:07 > 0:15:10And yet they're really happy and they stay together for ever.

0:15:10 > 0:15:11Or the other way around.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13I mean, you think things are perfect,

0:15:13 > 0:15:16and then you find out it's all just one big lie.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19I didn't mean you and Marina. I was talking about Mac and I.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22Right.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25I thought we had a good marriage until I found out what he was like.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27But Marina's nothing like Mac, is she?

0:15:27 > 0:15:31- Yeah, I'm going to make some tea. Anyone want some? - Not for me, thanks.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43Mum?

0:15:43 > 0:15:45CAR ENGINE STARTS UP

0:15:52 > 0:15:53Mum!

0:15:56 > 0:15:57Was that Irene?

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Yeah, sorry. She's not supposed to drive.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Do you know where she's going?

0:16:02 > 0:16:03Yes, think so.

0:16:03 > 0:16:04OK. I'll drive.

0:16:04 > 0:16:05Oh, thanks.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12Brian and his mum don't have to sit together.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Brian doesn't go anywhere without his mother. - He's 43. It's time he grew up!

0:16:15 > 0:16:19It's a wedding reception, not family therapy!

0:16:19 > 0:16:21So then why don't we split up the Jamesons?

0:16:21 > 0:16:24- No!- Why not? - Because they're married.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Only because he won't admit he's gay.- It doesn't matter.

0:16:27 > 0:16:28I think it might to her.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Anyway, they can't stand each other.

0:16:30 > 0:16:31Mother!

0:16:31 > 0:16:33All right. Then let's move Mrs Veysey.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36- Mrs Veysey?! - Well, she never knows where she is.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40- She doesn't know who she is half the time.- Which is why she can't be left on her own.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Stop being negative. - I knew you would take over. - I'm only trying to help.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46- You're taking control. - Don't be ridiculous.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49- This is MY wedding, not yours. - I never said it wasn't.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53It's all going wrong. You knew this would happen. You were just waiting for it.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57- It is not.- It is! It's a mess! The house is a mess! Everyone at work hates me.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00Cherry, you're blowing this out of proportion.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02- The whole wedding is ruined. - Cherry!

0:17:02 > 0:17:04This was supposed to be the happiest day of my life!

0:17:10 > 0:17:12We had SOME good times.

0:17:12 > 0:17:13Did we? I wouldn't know.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15I blotted most of my childhood out of my mind...

0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Don't exaggerate.- ..Apart from the really memorable bits!

0:17:20 > 0:17:23Like the night you cracked Dad's head open. That I can't forget.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Ah, childhood memories!

0:17:25 > 0:17:27The sight of you kicking my dad,

0:17:27 > 0:17:29him cowering on the floor, blood all over his face...

0:17:29 > 0:17:33- Don't do this.- ..You screaming how pathetic he was!- Stop it.

0:17:33 > 0:17:37And you wonder why I never have a girlfriend? After the things I saw you do to him?

0:17:37 > 0:17:41- You're just saying all those things to hurt me. - Am I? Well, that would make sense.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45Because when it comes to hurting people, I had the perfect role model.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52You couldn't leave it alone, could you?

0:17:52 > 0:17:54You HAD to come back.

0:17:54 > 0:17:55I was clearing it up.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57Liar!

0:17:57 > 0:17:58I was.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01You're sick, girl. Do you know that?

0:18:03 > 0:18:04I never meant to hurt you.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06Why?

0:18:06 > 0:18:08What did he EVER do to you?

0:18:09 > 0:18:11You used to be such a sweet girl.

0:18:11 > 0:18:12You don't understand.

0:18:12 > 0:18:16It broke his heart when the drugs turned you against him.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18I don't do drugs.

0:18:18 > 0:18:19He loved you so much.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21No, he didn't.

0:18:21 > 0:18:22You killed him.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Do you know that?

0:18:25 > 0:18:28All she ever wants to do is hurt people.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30She says the most awful things.

0:18:30 > 0:18:31Well, she may not mean to.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33It could be a cry for help.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35How can I help her if I don't know what the problem is?

0:18:35 > 0:18:37You have no idea?

0:18:37 > 0:18:38Not really.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Things haven't been easy.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Since your father passed away?

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Since my husband left, really.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47In what way?

0:18:47 > 0:18:48Lots of things.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Sometimes you just have to ignore it, get on with life.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55Why? Has she said something to you? She has, hasn't she?

0:18:55 > 0:18:57You really need to speak to her.

0:18:57 > 0:18:58I can't.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59You could try.

0:19:00 > 0:19:01Stop saying that!

0:19:01 > 0:19:04Your grandad worshipped the ground you walked on.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07You've no idea how much he loved you.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Yeah, he loved me that much he used to touch me.- What?!

0:19:10 > 0:19:12He tried to rape me.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15- She's lying! - Take it easy, Mrs Frears.

0:19:15 > 0:19:16- I'm not!- She is!

0:19:16 > 0:19:18And it wasn't just once.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Tell her to stop.- OK, try and calm down. Breathe slowly.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23I had to fight him off.

0:19:23 > 0:19:24Oh, you stupid girl!

0:19:24 > 0:19:26He was just being playful.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28With his hand up my skirt?!

0:19:28 > 0:19:29He was a good man.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31And he was hurting me!

0:19:31 > 0:19:33He would never do anything like that.

0:19:33 > 0:19:34That's not true.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37He did the same thing to my friend Sarah.

0:19:37 > 0:19:38Katherine, don't.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40He attacked her.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42- He did not! - She showed me the bruises.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44That stupid little girl always tried to make trouble.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46No-one ever believed a word she said.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48I did. And so did you.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52- I did not!- I heard you talking. You threatened to leave Dad if he did it again.

0:19:52 > 0:19:56- Rubbish!- But you didn't leave him, did you? And he DID do it again.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58George might have had a roving eye...

0:19:58 > 0:20:00It was more than a roving eye.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03And maybe he was a little bit free with his hands,

0:20:03 > 0:20:07but there was nothing wrong with him. He was a healthy, red-blooded man.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Why didn't you tell me?

0:20:22 > 0:20:24This isn't really about the seating, is it?

0:20:25 > 0:20:26So what is it?

0:20:26 > 0:20:30Heston and Marina were the perfect couple.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34If they can split up, just like that...

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Is anyone safe?

0:20:37 > 0:20:41I shouldn't worry too much about what happened to your friend Heston.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44He's probably not telling you the whole story. People never do.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46If it can happen to them then it can happen to me and Jimmi.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49It could. Doesn't mean it will.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53It's not just that, Mum. It's all this stuff with Freya.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55I thought that she liked me as a friend,

0:20:55 > 0:20:59and if I'm wrong about her, then I could be wrong about Jimmi.

0:20:59 > 0:21:00Do you think you are?

0:21:01 > 0:21:03I don't know. I don't know what to think any more.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05I'm so wound up about this whole thing,

0:21:05 > 0:21:08I don't know why I wanted to get married in the first place.

0:21:10 > 0:21:11OK, look.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14Weddings are ridiculously stressful. Always.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17It's a wonder anyone survives them. But they're not the end of the world.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Seating plans can be sorted.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21We'll give that to your dad.

0:21:23 > 0:21:24Dad?!

0:21:24 > 0:21:26I hate to admit it,

0:21:26 > 0:21:29but he's a better organiser than I am.

0:21:29 > 0:21:30Or you. Well, look at his shed.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33And as for Freya, well...

0:21:35 > 0:21:37..that happens to everyone at some point.

0:21:39 > 0:21:40You?!

0:21:40 > 0:21:41I WAS young once.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45And quite a lot of people fancied me.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48Hard as that is to believe.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51You're not just saying that to make me feel better, are you?

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Keep Freya at arm's length for a bit.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Tell you what, we'll sit HER next to this Marina

0:21:59 > 0:22:01and kill two birds with one stone.

0:22:02 > 0:22:03SHE LAUGHS

0:22:03 > 0:22:05You never could stay cross for long.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12Whatever else I did,

0:22:12 > 0:22:14I never touched you.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17I never, ever laid a finger on you.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19And that makes it all right?

0:22:21 > 0:22:24You've always been the most precious thing in my life.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27I might as well have been abused.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29I grew up with violence all around me.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31All I remember of my childhood is blood and bruises.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Ian, that's just not true.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35Why do you keep on denying this?

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Do you think it's going to go away?

0:22:37 > 0:22:41- Do you think next time everything's going to be fine?- No, no...

0:22:41 > 0:22:44You beat Dad up so bad once I thought he was going to die...

0:22:44 > 0:22:49- Don't do this.- ..And when the ambulance came, I had to lie to them about what happened.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50You don't understand. Listen!

0:22:50 > 0:22:51I was ten!

0:22:55 > 0:22:56You see?

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Do you see what you've done to me?

0:23:02 > 0:23:04I'm not going to be like you.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09You should have warned me.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11I didn't think he'd do anything to you.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Not to his own granddaughter.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15But you knew what he was like.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18He never touched ME. It was always my friends.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21I knew he was a bit dirty.

0:23:21 > 0:23:22He wasn't "dirty".

0:23:22 > 0:23:24I didn't think he was sick.

0:23:24 > 0:23:25If anyone's "sick", it's her.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27- Mother! - Maybe we should go.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30He told me it was all her.

0:23:30 > 0:23:31She was leading him on.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33You knew what he was doing?

0:23:33 > 0:23:35He wasn't "doing" anything.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37Did YOU know?

0:23:39 > 0:23:40I suspected.

0:23:40 > 0:23:41- You did?!- But I wasn't sure.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44And you just let him do it.

0:23:44 > 0:23:45I wanted to tell him to stop.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Why didn't you?

0:23:47 > 0:23:49He wasn't an easy man to talk to.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53- What's that supposed to mean? - I didn't think it was really serious.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56I had to lock the door to stop him coming into my bedroom at night.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59There was nothing I could do. Your grandmother wasn't well.

0:23:59 > 0:24:04- The only thing wrong with her is that her husband was a perv. - I don't have to listen to this.

0:24:04 > 0:24:08- Alice, please.- Don't touch me! - Let's get home, get your grandmother settled.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Then we can get on with... - I'm not coming home.

0:24:10 > 0:24:11What?

0:24:11 > 0:24:13I trusted you.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18She'll be back.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20She won't.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Where else is she going to get her drugs money?

0:24:23 > 0:24:25She won't come back, will she?

0:24:25 > 0:24:27I don't know.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29- If she does, she'll never trust me. - Can you blame her?

0:24:29 > 0:24:35- There was NOTHING I could do! Nothing! What would you have done? - You could have told him to stop.

0:24:35 > 0:24:41He wouldn't have listened to me. He was a selfish, stubborn old man. And it would have killed my mother.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44Your mother is a lot stronger than she lets on.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47It's your daughter you need to think about.

0:24:47 > 0:24:48It's too late.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51This isn't one of those things that you can just ignore.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53I can't.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55For her sake, you need to try.

0:24:55 > 0:24:59- You think I'm a terrible parent, don't you? - It's not my place to judge.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01You do.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03It's not easy, you know.

0:25:04 > 0:25:05People like you have no idea.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17There's only one thing you need to worry about.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19What?

0:25:19 > 0:25:21Do you love Jimmi?

0:25:21 > 0:25:22Yes.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Enough to marry him?

0:25:24 > 0:25:26I think so.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28Well, that's all that matters.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31All the rest is just window dressing.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41The best thing my father ever did was to leave you.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44And I'm glad Heston had the sense to kick you out before you really got to him.

0:25:46 > 0:25:47That's not what happened.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49You just can't stop lying, can you?

0:25:50 > 0:25:52I'm not lying.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55Do you think I'd just let you stay here until you found another man to abuse?

0:25:55 > 0:25:58That's not why I came here.

0:25:58 > 0:25:59Good.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02Then you can take your cases and go to a hotel...

0:26:02 > 0:26:05because I don't want you here when I get back.

0:26:17 > 0:26:18Ha!

0:26:18 > 0:26:20£200 if we go next week.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22- Next week?- Why not?

0:26:22 > 0:26:24I've got to book the tickets some time.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27Karen's practically drooling at how fat I am.

0:26:27 > 0:26:28Let her.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30- You're beautiful to me. - Blah blah blah!

0:26:30 > 0:26:34- Is this supposed to be me?- You're Island Girl. And don't forget these.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37- It's supposed to be classic! - That's one word for it, yes.
