I knew it. I knew it was him. Of course it was him!

Now do you see? He is sick! He has a sick mind!

HE swapped the samples!

YOU swapped the samples and then you sat back and waited,

knowing the results, knowing they would be negative!

He manipulated and deceived everyone all the way along. Haven't you?

Haven't you?!

Look at me!

-I'm sorry.

-You're sorry? SYED:

-Is that all you've got to say?

It just happened. I had the test.

-It was a spur of the moment thing.

-No, you had this planned.

-No.

You did. You knew about Yasmin. He knew before I came here.

-That's not true.

-He told me not to tell anyone, to stay away.

-What?

He said you'd take her from me. He said you couldn't cope.

You tried to keep her from us? She's my child, Yusef!

-My child! Why would you do that?

-I was looking after your mother.

You were looking... What?!

She's been through so much recently.

You deliberately kept us apart?

-Of course he did.

-When you took me to Pakistan, that's what you were doing?

-You were keeping me away.

-No.

Just stop lying, OK, Yusef. Just stop lying to me!

I have no home... YASMIN WHIMPERS

..no family. For what?

For what?! MASOOD: Amira, Yasmin doesn't need to be here.

I had everything and now I have nothing!

-You've ruined my life!

-Amira, let's take her out.

WHIMPERING CONTINUES You ruined my life.

It's OK, baby. < MASOOD: Why?

-Don't even give him the chance, Dad.

-Why, Yusef?

-WHY?

-Masood...

Let me do this. I'm the reason he's here.

Come on, Yusef.

Tell me.

-I thought it was for the best.

-You didn't have the right.

-I did it for you.

-No, you didn't.

You did it for yourself, cos that's all you care about,

-you selfish, selfish man!

-That's not true.

Was all of it a lie?

Did you lie about everything?

You know what, I can't look at you. Masood, get him out of here.

-Just get him out of here!

-Zainab...

-I hate you! I hate you!

-What about...?

-I'm not playing this game!

-Tinie Tempah? I'd snog him.

-No!

-What about...

-Shut up, all right!

-..the little one from JLS?

-What, Aston?

-You even know his name. You're so gay!

-Would you snog him?

-No. Clear off, all right.

Here, give us that.

-You're not going to lock it up?

-It wasn't when I found it. What about Jay? Would you snog him?

-I can't believe you asked me that.

-You're so boring.

-And you're a nightmare.

-You love me, really.

-PHIL:

-Who did this, eh? Come on, who did it?!

-I'll try the chicken burger next with a side of everything.

-It was you!

You can't get anything right! You're a complete waste of space. Go on, admit it.

- Your dad's back then. - What's this about free meals?

-Come on, admit it!

-It wasn't her fault!

-I'm a waste of space.

-It says here, "Free meals with free coffees."

-Couldn't be any clearer.

Is that clear enough for you, eh? Come on, sling your hook!

-All of you, out!

-I see a few weeks away did you the world of good(!)

-It's been nice you not being around, Phil. Been no trouble.

-No racism.

-Listen, if you need to talk to someone about, you know, girls, boys, anything...

-Seriously!

-Do you want this rammed down your throat, eh?

-You know where I am, OK?

Clean slate, you reckon?

He's got a really soft cheek, Anthony does.

I can fit you in tomorrow.

-HORN BEEPS

-Ha-ha!

He beeped at me! I got such a good feeling about him,

I really have, Jode. He just ticks all the boxes.

You got that from a beep?!

So, you're sure? Poppy's the one.

Yep. Sure.

-This from the man who takes half an hour to choose a pizza topping. I'm proud of you.

-Thanks, mate.

Jodie's looking fit, ain't she?

I knew it.

Hey! Guess who's back!

-Denise.

-Phil Mitchell, people's favourite.

-Denise.

-Getting up everyone's noses. My nose, especially.

-Denise!

-Masood!

-I got him. Denise, I got him!

-Yusef?

-Yasmin's mine.

-MOBILE PHONE RINGS

She's mine! I thought I'd lost her, but...I have a little girl.

I'm sorry I doubted you.

I'm sorry.

-I'm going to kill him.

-Christian!

'Hi, this is Christian. Sorry I can't take your call at the minute.

'Leave your name and number. Bye.'

Hi, babe, it's me - "I'm a single mum, please get me out of here."

Janine's trying to evict me and I think I might be in love with Mr Tombliboo.

Please, please, we really need to go out, just call me, OK.

I love you. Bye!

SHE SIGHS

BABY CHATTERS

SHE SIGHS AND MUTTERS TO HERSELF

-< DOOR OPENS

-Jack? Jack. Jack?

Jack!

Jack, Jack!

Jack! How do you fancy a cup of tea with me and Amy?

I really, really need the company of an adult before I go insane.

Gotta go somewhere.

Ronnie? I can always tell. You always look really sad.

See ya.

-You come near me or my daughter again, I will...

-Yusef!

You used me.

-You wanted the test. You came to me.

-No, you used me!

You know what? You're not even worth it.

You are nothing.

I've lost everything because of him.

Everything!

You know who else is gay? That bloke from the X Factor. Would you snog him?

HE SLAMS THE CUE DOWN

-You all right, Ben?

-Daddy's back, ain't he?

-Is he?

Has he said something to you?

Aw, you two make a lovely couple.

I'm joking.

Cos if he has, then I'll have a word with him.

He ain't said nothing. I don't give a monkeys what he thinks any more.

If he ignores me, I'll ignore him.

Don't even give him the time of day. He's a twassock.

-What?

-Twassock?

-Well, he is, ain't he?

Shall we have a game of Killer?

I might even let you win, all right? I might.

-How'd it go?

-Terrible. Bloke was a hoarder.

My great Auntie Nora was a hoarder.

Nora the Hoarder we called her. HE LAUGHS

What d'you get?

-And?

-That's it.

-CAT MIAOWS

-Not quite!

-Oh, great(!) A manky cat.

Aw, he's not so manky.

All right, he's a bit manky. THEY LAUGH

I could sort him out for you.

Shampoo, bit of a manicure, take him down the rescue centre,

he'll be all right, won't you?

Neville. Aw, nice name.

And...them...

we'll frame 'em and call 'em modern art.

-You see the bright side in everything.

-Pollyanna, my dad used to call me.

Come on, then. Come on!

Do I go for the ham and pineapple or the meat feast? I just don't know.

I know that it's going to be difficult,

but Yasmin is my daughter and I can't turn my back on her.

We have to find a way to make this work.

-We have to try.

-FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

They're staying the night.

Anything's gotta be better than the B&B.

I'm tired of fighting, Syed.

Hey! Have you got a smile for Daddy?

CHILDREN'S PROGRAMME ON TV

-INTERCOM BUZZES

-Right.

Come on, then, Janine!

With you and Mr Tombliboo, I'm just about ready to kill!

Oi!

The fembots at the salon said you were having a bad day.

So, you, me, nightclub, drink, boogie, drink, snog a stranger,

drink, kebab on the way home. What d'you reckon?

I reckon I could kiss you right now.

You're not my type. But thanks.

Oh, I love cats!

I love cats!

-No.

-I used to have two of them when I was a kid, but I'm allergic.

I've got two back at my mum's - Rosie and Violet.

-Rosie's only got half a tail.

-How come?

-Dunno.

It's not something we like to talk about.

-Neville, behave.

-Especially in front of Rosie. She's very sensitive.

-A bit like you, then.

-Yeah. Bit like me.

Great(!) Neville!

He ain't going to come back on his own accord, is he?

The first time I saw you,

the very first time,

we didn't even talk.

You just smiled.

And I remember thinking...

"What beautiful eyes!

"He must be kind with eyes like that."

"He's a sweet boy. He's going to be a doctor.

"He'll look after people." That's what people told me.

But you know what, I don't see that boy.

I don't see him any more.

Because he... he wouldn't do these things.

You left.

I had all those things with you.

-Don't.

-I was a better man.

-No.

-You could've saved me, Zainab.

Don't you dare!

If you hadn't left me, if you'd stayed with me.

I'm nothing without you. Nothing.

-Neville!

-Neville.

It's like that film, Breakfast at Tiffany's.

-Cat!

-That's my mum's favourite, that is.

I tried to make Darren watch it once. He wasn't having any of it, though.

-He said I was just as pretty as Audrey, though.

-I think you're prettier.

CAT MIAOWS Cat! Oh, it worked!

Aw! SHE LAUGHS

We shouldn't have done that.

Thank you.

That's our old duvet. That'll do, won't it?

You know nothing's going to change.

You and me, that's what comes first. You do believe me?

That's not the problem though, is it, Sy? Do you believe me?

Of course I do. It was just...

Yusef was saying all these things. I didn't know who I could trust.

Me. You trust me.

-I can go, if you need time...

-No, don't worry.

-D'you know what, that would be great.

Nothing changes.

-Oh, God!

-Masood?

-You OK?

-HE SIGHS

Leave it, leave it.

She's let him back in. She's forgiven him.

She does it every single time.

I never had her down as a fool.

That's it, Denise. I've had it.

He's welcome to her.

Please, please, please.

-Pretty please.

-Oh...

-I haven't had a night out in, like, months!

-Yeah.

All right, that's a little exaggeration, OK.

She's your kid too, Jack. Come on, you should be gagging to see her.

Not like you've got anything else going on in your life, is it?

She wouldn't see you, would she? Oh...

I didn't even get in the building.

Only person she wants to see is you.

-I don't know, Jack. Maybe...

-Don't even say it.

-What?!

I finish work at nine. I'll come here, get changed. pick her up, she can stay down here.

-Really?!

-Yes, just pick her up in the morning, all right.

Don't stay up there nursing your hangover, go on.

-Love you!

-Thanks!

-Yeah.

-GIGGLING

Having a baby changes everything, you know.

Turns your whole world upside down. Syed won't know what's hit him.

-HE LAUGHS AT ROXY'S MESSAGE

-'..call me OK. Love you! Bye!'

Oh, your poor face.

Lucky really.

I was aiming for your eyes. SHE LAUGHS

I was joking.

-HE CHUCKLES

-She's asleep.

Right, you. I won't be late.

-You're going out?

-Mm-hm.

Look, Christian, I know we haven't been on the best of terms,

but we can be civil, can't we? For Yasmin's sake.

Sure. For Yasmin's sake.

Mwah! See ya!

-Ben's been going down the gym quite a lot, ain't you?

-Yeah, a few times.

And him and Lola's been helping out at the caff. Done a really good job.

-Been hanging out with Lola, have you?

-So?

She's a nice girl, that's all.

-What?

-Ignore him, Ben.

-What?

-Where you going?

-To meet Lola.

That's what you want to hear, innit?

-What are you scared of?

-Jay...

-No. It's 2011, Phil! What are you scared of?

Just sit down, will you?

I pay for your keep and food. Sit down and eat it!

-So?

-You look beautiful.

I don't know, Jode. Don't want to count my chickens or nothing, but I think he could be the one.

You know, like your Darren was for you. We just...

We just got this connection, I dunno.

-You ready?

-Yep. I can't wait for you to meet Rosie.

She is going to love you, I know she is.

Well, who wouldn't, eh?

Let me get this.

Thank you.

Your dad?

You know I know, don't you?

I know.

I'm so proud of you!

Well done, Benji boy! Well done! Well done, you.

Hey, Kim, look who I found.

-Hmm? Oh! Welcome!

-Sit down, sit down, sit down!

-Hello!

->

-Be nice! Phil's back.

-All right...

-A little one ain't going to hurt.

-Oi!

-What?!

-All right, a little one.

-All right.

LAUGHTER

Mmm!

Now, Benji...what d'you think? Is it too much? Be honest.

-Maybe a bit too much.

-Perfect, thank you.

-Are we getting a few in the Vic before we go to town?

-No, we can't, gotta wait for Jack.

-Boring!

-I'll look after her if you want.

-Bless you, babe. No, thank you.

-Why not? He's old enough.

-Righty-o! So, tarty or stripper?

BOTH: Stripper.

LAUGHTER

Come on, babe, it's only for an hour or so.

-You think?

-Yeah, I think.

Would you... ? D'you mind?

-I'll pay you.

-Course, I don't mind.

-Aw, he's so sweet.

-Thank you.

Thank you! If Janine calls round, you do NOT answer the door, OK?

Look, you're paranoid! She won't come round again.

And look, this is very important. This is Olivia.

Amy cannot go to bed without Olivia or she'll scream the house down. You don't want that, do you? Right!

Christian. Roxanne.

-BOTH: Kimberley?

-Let us paint the town rouge!

Come on!

Thanks, babe.

-He'll be fine.

-I know it'll be all right, you'll be more than all right, won't you?

-Thank you. See you soon. Wait for me, wait!

-Hurry up!

Clean slate, you said. Come back, start afresh.

But can't do that, can you, Phil? That would be too easy for you.

HE SIGHS

You can't keep ignoring it. You've got to start dealing with it

or you'll lose that boy and have no family to come home to!

See, I knew it. I knew he was up to something.

He's one of them people, Yusef. We've all got one.

Gets under your skin. Knows exactly what buttons to press,

then he'll just break her down bit by bit.

LAUGHTER

CHRISTIAN: Lock up your sons, the girls are on the prowl.

Right, spill, now. Princess Amira did this to you!

-I'm not going to talk about it.

-Oh, come on, man.

Come on, just few hours off, eh?

-No, Olivia don't want to have a bath now.

-I want my mum.

What? She's tired? She wants to go bed.

-Come on, then. Come on, then.

-I want my mum.

-Come on, then.

Oh, let's go, let's go. Let's go.

INTERCOM BUZZES

-Janine, she's not in.

-'It's me.'

-Oh, right.

Come on. Let's go.

Oh...

-Let's go. Aw, where is it?

-FRONT DOOR CLOSES, FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Go on, into bed.

Ssh.

You know what you are, don't you? You're a manny. Ben Poppins.

Practically perfect in every way.

Right...

Sex and the City. No.

Chick flick, no.

Chick flick, no. Oh, shock, chick flick, no.

-What's that for?

-Jack's. And he ain't in.

And I'm betting he ain't got no chick flicks.

Good shout, Benny boy.

You know we considered surrogacy.

Wow. Really?

-Yeah, Roxy was going to do it for us.

-Roxy?!

-Roxy was going to be your surrogate?

-She wasn't my first choice.

-Imagine how chavvy that baby would turn out.

-Amira!

-She'd probably be born wearing a velour tracksuit!

-Get an ASBO before its first birthday.

-Roxy?!

-THEY LAUGH

Thank you, it's been lovely, I'm going to go now.

ROXY LAUGHS

Sorry!

-I'm going to go.

-You what?!

-No way!

My phone is nearly out of battery! I'm really worried!

-I need to check on Amy and Ben...

-He's smitten on you!

-He really likes you.

-Mmm!

-He REALLY likes you.

-Stop it, don't.

-Babe, stay, come on. Stay!

BOTH CHANT: Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay!

-All right, all right!

-Why do they have to be so loud? That's what I want to know.

-Tell me about it.

-Drawing attention to themselves. Asking for trouble!

-Think they'd keep a low profile?!

-Have an easy life.

-I'd like one of them.

-Chance'd be a fine thing.

It was much easier 10-15 years ago when the kids were little. No arguments. No conflicts.

-Just...

-Simple.

-Yeah. Simple.

What you looking at?

He wouldn't be looking at anything if you kept yourself to yourself.

The name's Branning. Jack Branning.

-License to pull.

-THEY LAUGH

Oi...have a smell of that.

Yeah, that's nice, that. Always wondered what he wore.

-Shirl did say he smells like a Disney movie.

-I see what she means now.

Got Madonna, Kylie Minogue. Maybe he bats for your team, eh?

You're going to have to lighten up about that, you know.

-It's what Lola said.

-She's right about one thing, then.

I don't...

-Don't what?

-You're a mate. You know I don't like you like that.

Course I do. We're brothers, ain't we?

CAR PULLS UP OUTSIDE

Bit a Jamie T, that's more like it.

-Jack!

-What?!

Come on!

Hurry up!

-That was close, wasn't it?

-Ssh, you'll wake her up.

-All right, Manny(!)

-She's not here.

-What?

-She ain't here!

-WATER RUNS

-I'll get someone.

-Hurry up!

Amy! Oh, oh...

Jack?

Yusef! We need help!
