Tell dad I'm sorry.

Tell him I want to come home.

Please!

Amira's in a state.

Qadim won't take her back in. Our granddaughter doesn't have a home.

-I am tired, Masood.

-Our granddaughter, Zainab.

I can't think right now.

You know why this is happening, don't you?

Yusef.

She lied.

-She lied because she wants you back.

-I don't know.

Oh, come on, she wants the baby to be yours and you away from me.

You've got to see that, surely?

He must've had access to the tests. He's tampered with them!

-You can't know that.

-Yes, I can.

Why would anyone else do it? He did it.

You cheated on her. Not that much of a stretch to think she had a couple of guys on the go.

-We don't know that, Christian.

-I do know you could barely touch her.

You slept with her, what, two, three times at the most?

All right? She is lying.

Do the test again.

He's a liar. He wanted you and he wanted to split up our family.

You've got no proof, Masood!

Masood, where are you going? Masood, wai...!

Well, that makes things easier.

-What does?

-You not being in the flat.

I gave you till the end of the month to pay up. And you didn't, so...

-eviction day.

-You can't do that, Janine.

-Says who?

-Says the law.

-Well, you obviously don't know me very well, do you?

Now, we can either do this the easy way or the hard way.

Oh...

Oi!

Roxy!

Can you move? Move, move!

You see, the easy way is so boring, Janine.

-He's with a patient.

-You heard her, Masood.

-I'll call the police if I have to.

-Fine.

-Goodbye.

-Goodbye, doctor. Thank you.

Rose, go and have your lunch. Now.

-I have home visits to make...

-Tell her. Tell her you did this.

-This is absurd.

-You falsified the tests!

How did I do that? When? I'm a doctor, Masood. I have ethics.

God, you're so arrogant. "I'm a doctor." You're also Zainab's ex-husband!

-That has nothing to do with anything.

-Doesn't it?

If the test was tampered with - and that's a big if -

-there's only one person responsible.

-Apart from you?

The person who ordered the test in the first place.

Christian.

How dare you? How dare you accuse me?!

-This is him. It's all him.

-Amira, just tell the truth.

How do we know whose hair you tested? It could be anyone's.

I didn't fake the test.

-You don't want me around, you don't want Yasmin around.

-You don't get it.

You're just not listening!

-Christian has motive.

-Don't listen to him, Zainab.

-He wants your son to himself.

-Zainab, don't listen to him.

Give me one piece of proof, one shred of evidence that this has anything to do with me, Masood.

I didn't think so.

I know it's you.

You're an embarrassment.

Amira and I'll find out.

Amira's staying with me. Didn't you know?

Zainab?

Zainab?!

-DOOR BUZZER

-Syed, it makes sense.

-Really?

-Just leave it.

You're mental, d'you know that?

He did this. You know me, Syed. You know me better than anyone.

Yasmin is yours. I'm not lying.

-You'd know if I was lying.

-Just do one thing for me then, Amira.

-Let's be certain.

-How can you be so sure you can trust him?

Has he always been honest with you?

-Did you falsify that test, Christian?

-Oh, shut up, Zainab. No, I didn't.

It'd be in your interest for Yasmin not to be his.

-DOOR BUZZER

-Just leave it!

Of course it is. Of course it's in his interests.

Your whole relationship is based on a lie. That's how this whole thing started.

Can your honestly put your hand on your heart and say he didn't do this?

Yusef?

-Zainab, can I talk to you?

-Christian, just tell the truth.

-I don't need to defend myself to anyone.

-That's convincing(!)

Syed believes me. That's all that matters. Right?

I love him.

Now, I know that really hurts you to hear that but I do.

I love him.

And whatever you think of me,

however much you hate me, you know that's true.

-I couldn't do that to him.

-Amira, please, just do the test.

-My word should be enough.

-Well, it isn't.

I'm not doing it.

Anyone would think you had something to hide, Amira.

-Amira! Amira!

-Amira, come on.

-Please, just leave us alone!

-You were the only one with access to those tests, Christian.

No. Not the only one.

So did he.

PHONE RINGS

Actually, we're closed.

OK. I'll check.

I do enjoy a bit of egg.

I think I'm gonna throw up.

-What?

-That is a human hair off a human head.

You could sue for that.

Look.

There is something seriously wrong with you.

-All right, boys.

-All right, girls.

D'you see that?

Totally checked me out then.

-Anthony's such a cutie.

-Aw, he is cute, isn't he.

Hello?... No, She's in the loo.

I know he's our housemate and everything

-and I know I used to like his brother but I think I might have a thing.

-A thing?

Yeah. I just wish I knew if he liked me back.

I'll find out. I'll find out for you.

Will you? Will you find out for me?

-Course I will. I'd do anything for you.

-Aw, Jode...

-Are you two for real?

-Shirl...

-What?

-Oi! Nose-ache!

-Did you wash your hands?

You have got raw meat next to cooked meat. You trying to kill someone?

-Funny you should ask that...

-I don't think she did wash her hands...

This place don't belong to you no more.

-This place used to be packed at lunchtime. Look at it, it's gone downhill.

-Shirl.

-What?

-Phil's coming home.

Yeah, to no customers and a fridge full of E.coli. He's gonna love you, ain't he?

Don't look so worried.

We'll have this place buzzing by the time he's hit the M25.

-Still here.

-Janine, will you be nice? I've got a kid.

And I could get twice the rent.

Unless you fancied paying more...

-I can't afford it.

-Can't afford it?

-Roxy, you're the richest chav I know...

-I ain't moving anywhere, OK.

And, by the way, I ain't a chav!

I don't understand. Why didn't you just tell me you'd helped Christian?

I didn't. He brought the test to the surgery.

I sent it off, the results came back. Standard NHS procedure. Happens a dozen times a day.

Now, would you like me to make you a drink?

-I need to think.

-I really think you shouldn't be on your own right now.

I need space to think, Yusef.

Subtle, subtle, subtle.

-Poppy's a lovely girl, isn't she?

-Poppy?

-She's all right, why? She got a thing for me?

-I was talking to your brother, actually.

What?

Poppy. She's a lovely girl. Gorgeous skin, toned, you know, nice hair.

Pretty much the whole package, really, isn't she?

-Yeah, I guess so.

-There's no guessing about it. She's the perfect woman. She really is.

-If you say so.

-I know so.

I know Pops better than anyone.

-I know her... you know...

-What?

Intimately.

So, why are you telling me this?

Just cos I wanted you to know.

Well, I guess I know now, don't I?

I guess you do.

He got the message.

You got a clue what that was about?

For a smart bloke, Ant, you ain't very smart.

What?

What?

I keep thinking about Yasmin.

Funny, isn't it?

Once you realise something's not yours, it makes you want it even more.

You thought they were right.

Just for a second,

you thought it was all down to me,

didn't you?

I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry, I'm late.

Got a bit distracted... Phil's coming home early and everyone's in a bit of tizz, what with the caff,

and then I had to pop into Dot's, you know, to make her cover me for the launderette.

You asked me to clean Jack's. That's why I'm here, yeah?

That, Heather, is exactly why I called.

After you.

No!

-Really?

-Uh-huh.

You really think that's what she meant?

Mate, she said she thought Poppy was hot.

She said she knew her.

Intimately.

Come on, it's blindingly obvious.

This is perfect for you. You can never make a decision.

Now you don't have to.

Don't it sound just a bit... dirty to you?

Sometimes I wonder if we're even related.

-Two girls, Anthony.

-Yeah, I know... But, humans, we're like swans.

You know, swans have their partner, they live happily ever after in their little nest.

One male swan, one female swan... there's no hassle. It's easy.

You're not a swan, Anthony...

-You're a lion.

-A lion?

Men lions have their little gang of ladies, don't they?

He doesn't choose, he doesn't have to.

Because he's a lion.

Don't be a swan, Anthony. Be a lion.

Am I doing all right?

It's vacuuming, Hev. Not even you could screw that one up.

-Why don't you go and knock for Roxy.

-Why?

Roxy, it's Heather.

-Has she gone?

-Who?

-Peek-a-boo.

-No, no!

This is my flat!

-You never know. Your dad might have meant it. Come back, clean slate.

-Maybe.

-What's with the boobs?

-They're rolls.

-Look like boobs to me.

-Oh, yeah, you'd know a lot about that, wouldn't ya?

-Clear off.

It'll be fine.

Shirl, it's Roxy... you got to get over there.

Finish that off for me, will ya? And get about, I dunno, two hundred copies.

Free stuff... that's what's gonna get people back in here.

'Ere, what's with the boobs?

-Thank you.

-If you need anything, sweetie, just give me a shout.

Do you need anything?

I knew something like this would happen. I warned you, didn't I?

I don't know your father well but I respect him and he respects me.

-I could reason with him.

-I don't think anyone could reason with him right now.

You'd really rather stay here than go home?

It's worth a try, isn't it?

Let me try, Amira.

Excuse me.

-We are closed.

-I just have one question for you.

When you do paternity tests and they get sent to the lab, do you do that or does Doctor Khan?

I can't answer that, it's patient confidentiality.

-You're a receptionist.

-One who knows the rules.

Do you do them or does Doctor Khan?

I suppose I can bend them just this once. We don't do DNA tests.

You don't do them?

The NHS haven't got two farthings to rub together.

If you'd just talk to her, Qadim... Of course I understand.

-I'll let her know. Thank you for your time.

-"Thank you for waiting, your call is important to us..."

He's stubborn.

Always has been.

You can't stay here. The rooms are damp. It's no good for the baby.

Get away. Have a break.

No chance. Dad's cancelled all my credit cards.

But if you could go anywhere, where would you go?

Malaga.

My friend Chelsea lives there.

I'll book you on the first flight.

Trust me.

What if I can't?

I'm not sure you have any other options right now.

I got rights, you know. Human rights.

I will break the door down if I have to.

D'you want me to rearrange your face?

-Shirl?

-You cannot evict a tenant without 30 days' notice.

It says on page 67.

Oi!

Sucker!

-What are you, Anthony?

-I'm a lion. RRRR!

Poppy.

Hi.

Doesn't Poppy look nice?

How about a quiet night in tonight?

Me and you?

-I'd love to. Yeah, I'd love that.

-Yeah. Me, you and...

-What?

You know. It's like lions, innit?

-Two's company, but three...

-Three's what?

Three's a party, innit. How about it?

-Is he saying what I think he's saying?

-Yep.

And I thought you was a nice boy. Shame on you, Anthony Moon.

-No, girls, you don't understand, we're not swans.

-I hate swans.

Girls, we're lions. We're... But...

You are a dead man. You're dead. Come here!

I didn't know who else to turn to.

Why is all this happening?

I think you know why.

He lied to me.

The smallest thing. But... if he lied about that, then...

We're going to get to the bottom of this.

Together, OK?

I know you're in there.

Are you familiar with the story of the three little piggies and the big bad wolf?

It's not even like I like it here.

-I hate it. It's like being in a cage.

-I used to be like that.

Kevin'd go to work, I'd be in all on me own with Jimbo.

No grown-ups to talk to.

I even had a case packed in case I wanted to make a swift exit.

-Tell me it gets easier, Shirley.

-Wish I could.

The older they get, the more trouble they are.

Ben came out.

Really?

You knew?

Course, I knew. Everybody knew, Shirley.

Come on, what straight kid likes tap dancing that much?

CHILD CRIES She's so clumsy.

-How did Phil take it?

-How'd you think?

-Come on... your dad ain't that bad.

-Ain't he?

Least you got one. Even if he is a baldy old git.

Can't believe Hev's got us doing this...

It was nice without him.

No arguments.

-Me, Shirl and Hev having a laugh...

-You know what you need? A snog from a really hot boy.

Shut up, Lola!

Here, what about Tyler?

Here you go, knock yourself out.

Gotcha.

All that lion and swan business is mucky.

And it don't even make any sense.

-Sorry.

-Weren't you, was it? It was your brother.

Thought so. You'd never come up with something like that on your own.

-Too boring?

-Too lovely.

Right. So you'll take Poppy on a date or something then, yeah?

Only if you think I should.

Yeah, I think you should.

I love swans.

Everyone says they break people's arms with their little wings but that's just made up, so...

I can't stay long.

-Christian doesn't know you're here.

-Just say what you've got to say.

Yasmin and I are going to Malaga.

First flight we can get.

You loved me once, Syed.

Did I ever lie to you?

Just look at her.

Please.

She's yours.

She'll miss her daddy.

We'll stay.

You just have to say the word.

DOOR CLOSES

-Grumpy drawers has gone.

-She'll be back, won't she.

-Yeah, well if she does, let me deal with her.

You all right? Took a little tumble there, didn't you?

She did, didn't she? But she's all better cos I've kissed it better, haven't I?

-She's my big, brave girl.

-Yeah, she's a Mitchell through and through.

Come on, let's put you over here.

-You stay there a minute gorgeous, OK?

-See you later.

-If you need anything, just let me know, yeah?

-Thank you, Shirley.

You're doing a good job. Twice the mum I was.

-That's not saying very much though.

-Shut up, shut up.

Listen, this family would've fallen apart without you, and you know it.

-Not sure Phil sees it that way.

-Shirl...

It is gonna get easier, isn't it?

-You've got one of our fliers.

-Yeah, I certainly have.

-I've got no idea what the breasts have got to do with it.

-They're rolls.

If you say so. I'll have a free coffee, please

and I'll have the most expensive item on the menu as well.

Cos that's free as well, isn't it?

No, it's just the coffee that comes free.

Not what it says here. It says free coffee with every free meal.

We've all got one.

You need to come with me.

Denise, thank you so much.

It's for the best.

Syed wanted you to do a DNA test. Zainab told me.

My word should be enough.

That's just your pride talking. You're going to end up proud and alone. Trust me, Amira.

I've been there. It's not very nice.

Yasmin should grow up with her family.

Your 3 o'clock cancelled. Mrs Aubrey.

-After that you're back to back.

-Thank you. Has someone been here?

No. Mrs Masood came in, asking about DNA and paternity.

So you thought you liked Poppy...

-Yeah.

-Now you think you like Jodie?

-Yeah.

Mate, there is something very, very wrong with you.

Just make a decision.

-Jodie.

-Fine. So you won't mind if I go for Poppy then.

Never thought the day would come when I'd be getting your sloppy seconds.

Ant...

Poppy...

Jodie said you might have something to ask me.

Do you have something to ask me?

Will you go on a date with me?

I'd love to.

I just wanted to check if you were OK.

-I'm fine.

-She's absolutely fine.

We're just about to send them off.

No more mistakes this time.

There were no mistakes last time.

You faked the test.

Not Christian. You.

You're lying. We know you're lying.

Please, Yusef.

Please...Just tell me.

Tell me this isn't true.

Tell me you didn't do this.

I'm sorry, Zainab.

I'm sorry.
