0:00:30 > 0:00:34Dad, it's not what you think. I'm not pregnant.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38So, what's this? Hmm?
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- What is that, a stick of rock? - It's nothing to do with me.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44What are you doing here, Max?
0:00:44 > 0:00:46I had a call.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50From Jack.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Worried, he was. About this family, about what's going on.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- Nothing's going on. - Seems that way, yeah(!)
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- Dad...- Shut up, will ya, Abi? I don't want to hear another word from you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Look at the state of you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11You let yourself go, ain't you?
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Jack's told me. Getting drunk in the Vic. Letting your kids run wild.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Where's Oscar? Is he shooting up in the playground, is he?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- I'd like you to leave now. - And what about this, Tanya?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- You just going to forget about this? - It's not mine.- Yeah? So whose is it?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27A mate's. She gave it to me,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29asked me to hide it. I'm covering for her.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- I smell a porky.- Who is this mate?
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Just tell me Abi, or I'll go out buy another one and make you do it right here.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Lola. Lola Pearce. She's pregnant and Jay's the father.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- So it's got nothing to do with you, has it?- No!
0:01:45 > 0:01:48No, nothing. So you can go out and get another test,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50another ten, and I'll prove it.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Yeah, well I might just do that. - Yeah. Yeah, why don't you, Mum?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Because then everything will be all right, won't it?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59You won't be a total bitch to live with, a total misery,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03taking everything out on me. Always disappearing, lying, treating me like dirt.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06That is enough.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- I think we're all sorted here, Max. - Sorted?!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Sorted? I couldn't be less sorted!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14She got nicked.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Shoplifting.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Great. What, is that true?
0:02:22 > 0:02:23I only did it cos she pushed me.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27You don't understand what it's been like, Dad, since you left. It's been horrible.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Sorry, Abi, but you asked me to go. What, you forgot?
0:02:32 > 0:02:37- I was upset, it was a shock. - Especially to Vanessa.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Yeah, where is Vanessa?- She don't live here any more. She's moved on.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- What about Lauren? Where's Lauren? - Out.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I don't know what you think you're doing coming back here, Max,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02but you're not wanted, right? You're not needed.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05So, whatever Jack's told you, it was an exaggeration,
0:03:05 > 0:03:09he's got it all wrong, cos everything is in hand, so why don't you just crawl off
0:03:09 > 0:03:12back to wherever you came from. I think that would be best.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I'm sorry to intrude. But the door was open.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18And I found this little tyke
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- earwigging in the hallway, didn't I, eh?- Hello, mate. All right?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Ladies.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Lovely to see you all again.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29What's he doing here?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Always the charmer, eh? Your wife, Max?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Or should I say ex-wife?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37How are you, Tanya?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39You're looking peaky.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Cora...
0:03:41 > 0:03:42We met at the wedding. Derek.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46I'm Max's older brother. Glad to see the years have been so kind.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49That's what 40-a-day does for you.
0:03:49 > 0:03:5240-a-day. I like that one, I'll use that.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Good.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56And Lorraine,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58now, you haven't changed a bit.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Yeah, right. Last time I saw you, Derek, I was 17.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Skinny little legs. I remember you very well.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13And you...
0:04:13 > 0:04:15now, you must be Abi.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Ain't she the spit of our mum, eh, Max?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Ain't she the spit?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23You're beautiful, darling. Beautiful.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I'm your uncle Derek, by the way.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Your dad's been staying with me for a bit.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Abi, can you take Oscar upstairs?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Well.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Ain't this nice, eh? Together again after all these years, the family.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44You ain't my family.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46That's true. That's very true.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I'm getting ahead of myself.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51That's my trouble, me. Always shooting off at the mouth.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Never know when to keep this shut.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Like I said, I don't want to intrude.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Just wanted to see how you're doing. You all right?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Yeah, I'm fine, yeah.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Just having a little chat. - Course, yeah, course.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Only, er, we got a certain little lady in the car.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13She ain't the most patient girl in the world.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15So, when you're ready. No rush. In your own time.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Ladies, it's been an absolute pleasure.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Lorraine. I'll see myself out.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34That your new bit, Max?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38She's blonde.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Kind of. Sitting there, bold as brass.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Well, that's Max for you.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47Always had a thing for a blonde. Ain't you, Max? You and blondes.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- You got a thing for 'em. - Yeah.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Yeah, well...used to.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Well, how long's he going to be? - I dunno, do I?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I'm not a mind reader.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- I think I'm just going to nip over and see me brother Jack. - Can I come too?
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Nah. You stay there.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Put the radio on. Listen to a tune, eh?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Pat! Hello, love.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Don't run away.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Oh, look, clumsy.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Ain't you going to say hello?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Ain't so often you see a face from the past, is it?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- All I want to do is speak to Lauren, so where is she?- I don't know.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00She's a teenager, Max.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I never know where she is, she treats this place like a hotel.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Call her then, on her mobile. - She left it here.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Phone her mate then, phone Whitney.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- She's not at Whit's. - When's the last time you saw her? - Yesterday.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Yesterday. - I saw her earlier, actually.- See?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17See? You think we need you to come back here and rescue us.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Well, we don't. I've told you to get out because I don't want you in my life.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23You want to see the kids, fine, you do that,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26but you wait on the street and you do not come through that door again.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- That door?- Yes, that door. - Door of my house?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34What, my front door? The house that I live in?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Not any more. - Babe, I ain't going anywhere
0:07:37 > 0:07:39until I've seen Lauren and know what's going on,
0:07:39 > 0:07:41and that my kids are safe and happy.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44And if they ain't, Tan,
0:07:44 > 0:07:46if I think you ain't doing a proper job,
0:07:48 > 0:07:52I'm going to take this big, fat wad of fifties
0:07:52 > 0:07:54and I'm going to put it in the hand of the best brief I can find.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Derek knows a few, as you can imagine.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00And I'm going to take my kids and we'll live somewhere nice.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Nice house. Big garden.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Fresh air.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Good school. And you, Tan, can come visit at weekends.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11If I let you. Do you understand?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Get out. Just get out.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Cora. Stick the kettle on, will you? Got a bit of a thirst, here.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Max, I'm telling you. - What you telling me?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22What you going to do?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25You going to hit me, are you? Go on.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29You going to bury me alive?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35This family, this family, they ain't got a clue what a psycho you are.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Everyone thinks you're a perfect housewife. Tanya, mother of three.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Well, you ain't.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44You ain't at all.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46You're a mess.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- And a hypocrite.- Just go.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Cora, babe. I don't see that kettle on.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Get out or I'm calling my stepson down. He's a mechanic,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07and he'll kick you into kingdom come if you don't get out in five seconds.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Hit me with his spanner, will he? I've had worse.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Ricky! Ricky, come down here!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Don't look like he's in.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I'll call the police. I'll call 'em right now...
0:09:19 > 0:09:21No, you won't.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25You know how I feel about the old bill, Pat.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29They bring me out in a rash, and you wouldn't do that to an old mate, would you?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Hmm?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Dad, I think maybe you should go and wait outside.- Oh, do you?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39So, one minute it's, "Hello Dad, I missed you,"
0:09:39 > 0:09:43next minute, it's, "I think you should go and wait outside."
0:09:43 > 0:09:45You're worse than her. You and your sister.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Dad...- Don't "Dad" me.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I ain't heard that word for three months.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51It's been a relief.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Tan, I ain't going to move from here till I've seen Lauren.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14What do you want? I ain't got no money.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Well, I can see that.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Otherwise you wouldn't be wearing this tat, would you? What's that?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23'Bout half a quid down the market, is it? Hmm?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- What do you want?- Nothing.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I don't want nothing. I just happened to be in the area,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32saw you and thought it'd be nice to catch up.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Catch up? Me and you? Like that's going to happen.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38You know, Pat, as the years go by,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41old enemies take on a different hue,
0:10:41 > 0:10:43d'ya know what I mean?
0:10:43 > 0:10:44They begin to seem more like...
0:10:44 > 0:10:46What's the word?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Old friends, old muckers.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53See, loads of my mates are gone now.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Dead and buried.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Not many people left from the old days, is there?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Maybe if you'd been nicer to people, to your family.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Well, as you know, I've been away. Courtesy of her majesty.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Ten years does something to a man, Pat.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12You'd be surprised.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15You'd be surprised what I'm like now.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Why, I'm like a little angel now.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21I've even got a pair of wings under this jacket. D'you want to see 'em?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23You don't scare me.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Then why are you trembling?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Is that...? Oh, look!
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Ain't she lovely?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Bianca, all grown up.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Carol's little girl, eh?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47And David's.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Carol's and David's. - Old David?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53He around too, is he?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Now, I'd like to see him.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01I think I still owe him something, as far as I can remember.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I'd like to pay him back.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10He... He don't live here. In fact, I don't see him any more.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Oh... Lost touch?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13That's sad when that happens.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Well, if you do hear from him, you send him my regards, eh?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Tell him I haven't forgotten.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25Tell him I'm a man who likes to pay his debts.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Who's this, eh? Is this the mechanic?
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Derek.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- You got some explaining to do. - What's he doing here?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45He's just leaving. Now where were you?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Maybe we should go upstairs. - No. I want to know where you were, right now.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51OK, well, I've been at the hospital, Mum.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Yeah, that's right. I went looking for you.- Lauren...
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- But you weren't there. - That's enough.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- What's she talking about? - Nothing. I've had this flu,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02and we thought it was something, but it wasn't,
0:13:02 > 0:13:06and I've just been a little run down, I've let things go a little.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Is that it? That all you're going to say?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10That's all I've got to say and so have you.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I've just been under the weather, that's all.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16How can you go on lying? You're lying to them, you're lying to me.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Lauren...- Don't you care?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Don't you even care what happens to you?- I'm warning you.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Will you keep your mouth shut?
0:13:23 > 0:13:27No, I can't. I just... I can't.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I warned you. I warned you!
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Just get out.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Go on, get out. Get out of my house.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I don't want to see your face any more,
0:13:40 > 0:13:41I don't want you anywhere near me.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- You, get here. Get upstairs. - Leave her alone!- No.- Get off...
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Tanya!
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- You need to calm down. - Don't you get involved.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53In fact, all of you, get out. Abi, take her.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Take your Nan, and get out, get out, get out!
0:13:56 > 0:13:58She's got cancer!
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Mum's got cancer.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08She's had it for months.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10She's really, really sick.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17CAR RADIO PLAYS
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Turn that music down.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25MOBILE PHONE RINGS
0:14:27 > 0:14:28What's got into you?
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- Where'd Derek go? - To see your brother.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Oi, don't just leave me here.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43It's been a long time.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45A long time since...
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Well, since I've seen all of you.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52I did try to keep in touch, from time to time. Wrote letters.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I even called. But you know what?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- I got no reply.- Well, maybe it was my message to you, Derek.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Keep your nose out of my life.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02You're still not hacked off about your wedding, are ya?
0:15:02 > 0:15:03About your fella?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I thought he was long gone, from what I heard.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Yeah, see, Max has been filling me in on your love life.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Let me see, what did he tell me?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12The last one was a pensioner,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15the one before that a kid, teenager...
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Black boy. Mind you, you always liked a bit of that.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21The only reason I'm not kicking you out is Max. I need him to be here.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Only for a visit. Not to stay. See, Carol, he's with me now.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28My compadre, yeah.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32When I got out, things had changed. Weren't the same any more.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33No respect.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Streets crawling with Lithuanians. Thought they were the boys.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Top dogs. But we showed 'em a thing or two, me and Max.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Me and my brother. - What have you done?- Nothing.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47Trying to earn a crust, like we all have to. Ain't that right, Pat? Tell me, what you charging now?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Not that I'm interested, I'm just curious. Is it in-calls or out-calls?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Or you just back on the streets?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- You think you're so clever don't you? - No.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00No, I don't. But I will not be judged by ex-whores
0:16:00 > 0:16:02and slappers who've had a bag of kids
0:16:02 > 0:16:04by a bunch of different fathers.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I been away a long time, yeah.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11But I've changed.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15I'm a reformed character. Turned a new leaf over.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18And all I want, all I would appreciate,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20is a little bit of support, a little bit of loyalty,
0:16:20 > 0:16:24from my own flesh and blood. Is that too much to ask, is it? Eh?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28A little loyalty from my nearest and dearest when I'm down on my luck.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Is that too much to ask from my baby sister after all these years?
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Yes.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- It's not as bad as what Lauren says. - She's got cancer.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Cervical cancer.- How do you know?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48She told me. She told me two months ago.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Two months?!
0:16:49 > 0:16:54I didn't want you to worry, darling. I didn't want any of you worrying.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Could...could you die?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58No. No, of course not. I'm OK.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01I'm really OK.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- You got cancer, you ain't OK. - It's in hand. I'm having treatment.
0:17:04 > 0:17:10No, you're not. I been to the hospital, Mum. I know.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Know what?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14She's stopped.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17She was having chemo and radiotherapy, but she's just stopped.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- She's not even trying to get better. - Is this true?- Not exactly, no.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- They just told me, Mum. - You had no right.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- You had no right going there. - You lied to me.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30It's none of your business what I do and what I don't.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I might be your mum, Lauren, but I am my own person.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- I've got a right to make my own decisions.- OK. To what?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- Stop the treatment? The only thing keeping you alive? - It doesn't always work.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43You think things are really simple, but it's not. It doesn't always work.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Course it does. That's why they give it. It worked for that Siobhan,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- your mate. She's been on it for months.- Siobhan's dead, Lauren.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54She's dead. I went to go and have my chemo, she'd died of pneumonia.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56That's what it did for her.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Why didn't you tell me?
0:18:00 > 0:18:04I thought you and me, we got close. I thought you trusted me.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- I thought I was looking after you. - Why? I told you not to.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14I told you I didn't want that. The only thing I wanted,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17the one thing I wanted was for you to keep your mouth shut,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19but you couldn't, could you?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22No, you had to go blabbing to all and sundry. Well done, Lauren(!)
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- That's enough. - Mum, what are you doing?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29NONE of you, none of you understand.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33She is worried about you. She is worried sick! Can you not see that?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35No-one asked her to.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38She is your daughter. I am your daughter.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Do we not have a right to be worried about you?
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Do you think so little of us? Well, of me?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- Do you not trust me at all? - It's not a matter of trust, Abi. It's not. It's...
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I know what it's like to be the one that knows, right?
0:18:59 > 0:19:03I know what it's like to be the kid worrying about the parent.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Believe me, darling, it is not very nice.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11It's not very pretty. Well, you're going to find that out, now that she's told you.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- You're wrong. You're wrong.- I'm not.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Abi...- I'm going to check on Lauren.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I don't know. Coming back... I don't know.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33- Maybe they're better off without me. - What, your kids are better off without their dad?
0:19:33 > 0:19:37They sent me away, didn't they? They don't want me here.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40They weren't singing and dancing to see me.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I know it's upsetting, but you got to toughen up, mate. They need you.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Then I'll send for 'em. - Where you going?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Manchester.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Manchester?- That's right. This is just a stop-over.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- Bit of luck, sis, you won't have to see me for another ten years. - What about Max?- Him too.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02What is it they said in that old film, Pat?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- You should come up and see us some time.- Wait, Derek.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Can't. Things to do, people to see.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- But Max needs to stay here, his kids are here.- That right?- Yes.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14You know you really disappoint me, Carol, you really do.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Just like you did years ago.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19if you'd have only listened to your big brother,
0:20:19 > 0:20:20you'd be in a palace now.
0:20:20 > 0:20:26Me round, Sunday lunch, carving. We could've been so close.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Disappointing, Carol. Very disappointing.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- And if you hadn't stuck your nose in, I might...- Old times!
0:20:31 > 0:20:35It is fun to talk 'em over, isn't it? Eh?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Pat, it's been charming as always. - Leave Max alone.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42I can't.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46He's my little brother, and he's in need.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57You'd rather they'd have known for months, eh?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Worried sick about their mum, like me and Rai was as kids?
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- Is that what you wanted? - Least we didn't lie to you.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07No, you shoved it in our faces, didn't you? Couldn't cope, so you dumped it on us.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11You don't lie to your kids, your mum... You don't think I had a right to know?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13What for?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Oh, would that have got you to move out? Is that what it would have taken?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Cos I'm damn sure you wouldn't have stuck around to help. - How d'you know?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Never even give me the chance. Me or Rainie.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25- She's right, Tan.- Oh, right.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Yeah, of course, Miss Self-obsessed here,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29she'd have been a lot of use(!)
0:21:29 > 0:21:32You're my sister. If you're ill, I've got a right to know.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36What for, Rai? What? So you could help out round the house, like you do?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- Help with the children and money? - You've never even given me a chance.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Not once. Even when Dad was ill, you never let me have a look in.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Wanted a look in, did you? Nursing a dying man? You'd have loved that(!)
0:21:46 > 0:21:50A dying man? Your dad. Dying of cancer under your nose
0:21:50 > 0:21:54and yet you are still stupid enough to stop your treatment.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57It didn't do him any good, did it?
0:21:57 > 0:22:01You've got three kids. You got responsibilities.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03You don't get it, do you, Mum?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06There is no perfect cure to cancer, all right?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08You could do the radiotherapy,
0:22:08 > 0:22:11you could do the chemotherapy, right? And it can still kill you.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14You can think it's gone. And then bam -
0:22:14 > 0:22:16it was just hiding and you're dead within a week.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Like my mate. Like Dad.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20He had a good innings. He didn't suffer that much.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Why do you harp on about it? - Because I was there.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Every night, right till the end.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33This ain't about him.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34It's about you.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39You don't know, Mum.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41I do.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45You don't know what it was like. How bad it got.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Week after week.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49He had it quick in the end.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- He had a peaceful death.- Peaceful?!
0:22:55 > 0:22:58One minute he was there, next minute he was gone.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Why do you have to go on and on
0:23:02 > 0:23:04about such a terrible thing?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Because he didn't just go, Mum.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11What? What do you mean?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16You wouldn't understand.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Try me. I might surprise you!
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- I doubt that very much.- Try me!
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Dad...
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Dad didn't just slip away.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38He was in agony.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41He was in pain from the minute he opened his eyes
0:23:41 > 0:23:42to the minute he went to sleep.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44In the end, the drugs...
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- even the drugs couldn't stop it. - So, what you saying?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54So...
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I had to help him. I HAD to help him.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Help him what?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I had to help him die.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13What?
0:24:14 > 0:24:18I killed him. I helped him. I helped him.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I helped my own father to die.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26There, you wanted the truth and now you know,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28now you know everything.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29And now I'm going to pay for it.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I'm going to pay for what I done and I'll die like he did,
0:24:32 > 0:24:34but there'll be no-one to help me.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I'm going to have to do it all by myself.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Tanya. Tanya...
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Tell her that's not true. Listen...
0:24:45 > 0:24:50Tell her you just said that to hurt her. Tanya.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53It's true,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56it's true. I'm sorry.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57I'm...
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Tan? Tanya?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Tanya!
0:25:02 > 0:25:05What you going to do? Where you going?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Mum, do something!
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Mum?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Mum, what're you doing in there?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Mum?
0:25:28 > 0:25:33- Let's go and talk to Tanya. - There he is.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- Where you been?- Ciggies.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Jack.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Bruv.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Still keeping in trim I see.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Don't need to. Got the genes, didn't I.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Ponce.- Plonker.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- You want to take me on, do you? - Any time.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54You big wuss, I'd knock you out any day of the week.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Jackie boy, Jackie boy, lovely to see you.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00And you, mate.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Oi-oi, here she comes, look. Face like thunder.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05What do you reckon, sis?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- The Branning brothers, back together after all these years.- Beautiful(!)
0:26:09 > 0:26:10- You all right? - Yeah, yeah. I'm all right.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- You spoken to Tanya? - Tried, yeah. Got a door in my face. Don't need that.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Oi, let's go to the pub, talk it through.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20- Love to, Jack, but we got to scoot, ain't we, Max?- Yeah. - You can't leave.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Beautiful car. Bird. Open road. What's to stop us, eh?
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- What about Tanya and the kids? Max? - Hop in, Max.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- I'll call you.- Max! - Derek, let's go.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Oi!
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- She ain't answering!- Mum?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Go and get your dad.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Dad, Dad!
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Dad! Dad!
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- What, Lauren? What's wrong?- It's Mum. You've got to come now, Dad.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I can't. Sorry. She don't want me around. Let's go.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01She's got cancer.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02She's got cancer, Dad.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06She's had it for months and she's stopped having treatment.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Please.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Please. Please don't go, Dad.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14I need your help.
