PHONE BEEPS

BANGING ON DOOR

-Police!

-Police!

-Police!

-Police!

Police! Unless you're thinking of inviting us to a game of rounders,

-I'd put that down if I were you.

-Get out! Get out of my house! Go on, out.

Warrant to search properties belonging to Philip Mitchell.

It's all I could find!

Afia!

-There's police everywhere. I thought...

-Police? Where?

-In the square.

What were you doing outside?

Nothing.

I couldn't sleep. A lot on my mind.

Look, Pakistan will mean a big change for all of us.

But an exciting one, huh?

-Everything OK?

-Yes, we couldn't sleep at all.

Kamil woke me.

Afia?

Just been one of those nights, I guess.

Me, too.

So, what are we supposed to have done, then?

Are you the one that went through my knicker drawer?

-Find anything you want to wear?

-I'm glad you find this funny.

I'm just the lodger. I don't know anything about anything.

Ain't that the truth.

I've got the right to know why you're searching my house. Anonymous text message?

-You ain't popular, get used to it.

-I'm a busy man. I got people to see, places to go, all right?

My search warrant says properties belonging to Mitchell's Autos.

Would you care to accompany us?

Thanks for coming. Do call again.

You two start tidying up.

-I'll ring round.

-Use the dodgy mobiles, don't leave messages.

Shirley, I have done this before, you know.

Don't you just love this family?

Look at us, a family of insomniacs. I'm claiming the bathroom.

-You haven't said anything?

-Don't worry, I've kept up the lies.

Thank you.

But you have to leave. Today.

I can't do that.

You can't stay here, not now.

-You tried to kill her.

-No-one has to know.

What, and you think I can just carry on as normal?

I've kept this lie inside for 30 years.

Yeah, but now I know.

They arrested Alfie?

Why would they do that?

Absolutely no reason.

This ain't good.

-You all right, Alfie?

-Course I'm all right.

Having a right laugh in the pub.

Kat's laughing up there while the old bill are turning the place upside down.

Say what they're looking for?

-No, not said nothing to me, have they?

-They did us, as well.

-Seriously? So it's not just me, then?

-Or your business partner.

-What are you talking about?

-Anthony. He flew out of here like a rocket!

Listen, you tell Kat I'll be straight back.

What am I now, your good neighbour?

-You've been misinformed, haven't you?

-Who said I've been told anything?

Going to a lot of trouble on hearsay.

It's no trouble where you're concerned.

Now you're making this personal and that ain't nice.

We'll be back. All right, wrap it up, we're going!

Rest assured, you're never far from my thoughts.

What about all this mess, eh?

Complaints should be made in writing.

-Now is not the time to panic.

-Who's panicking, eh?

You're too clever for them to have anything on you.

How do they know what we're up to? I've only just got those watches.

Phil, we will find this person.

Winding me up is one thing, but they're trying to get me banged up.

-I ain't going back inside.

-You've got to stay strong.

You've got to show them monkeys that you don't care, you're on top of it.

The person that is doing this is close to us.

They know about Jack's folder and they can get into the flat.

Half the square's been through there one time or another, ain't they?

Then maybe he hasn't lost it?

We can't keep this here.

They've searched your gaff and I'm a known associate.

Oh, give it a rest, you big girl.

What am I, on the top ten most wanted list?

-No, no, no, I think it's Phil they're looking for.

-Phil?

-Yeah.

I was coming in this morning, I bumped into Shirley...

Hello, hello, hello.

Patrick!

There's a whole heap of policemen out there. What's going on?

-No idea, mate.

-What do you want?

Just passing.

-A bit late for bonfire night...

-It's a new line.

-Yeah, just storing them, that's all, Paddy.

-None of my business.

There's no reason why the bill will come in here.

Too many people know what we're doing.

But of course, if you're looking for somewhere

to store your new line, it could be my business, you know?

I don't understand, why is everyone awake? It's night still.

Don't be ridiculous. When I was a little girl, by this time I would have done all my chores,

read the paper to my father

and cooked breakfast for everyone in the house by 6am.

-And still, you think Pakistan is a good idea.

-Ha-ha(!)

You know, it won't hurt you to be on time for the restaurant for once in your life.

Now, come on, move. And don't you dare go back to bed.

-No.

-And don't shout, you don't want to wake Kamil up!

And don't spend all morning in the shower.

You leave today, while Mum's at work.

I'll make up some excuse,

say you've been called back to Pakistan or something.

Then, in a few days, I'll tell her you're not coming back.

-I can't do that.

-Don't worry, I won't tell her the truth.

I'll say it's a commitment thing.

Met a younger woman, you never loved her,

she makes you sick -

all the things that will be so much easier than telling the truth.

-Don't destroy what we have.

-What you have?

-What you have is a lie.

-Afia, stop.

-Get out.

If there was a medal for sleeping

that boy would be an Olympic champion.

-Who wants what for breakfast?

-I should get going.

When you interrupted us last night, dad was telling me something.

Afia, don't.

He has to go away on business.

To Pakistan.

He has to leave today.

He didn't want you to know,

but he has to go.

Today? What business?

I can't... I can't do this any more.

Then tell her the truth.

I started the fire.

What?

He tried to kill you.

I'm so sorry.

I wanted to tell you for so long.

Zainab, please!

DOOR SLAMS

Ooh, running from the law? You can run but you can't hide.

Zainab?

Darling?

-Is it Masood? What's happened?

-Nothing's happened.

It was a long time ago.

It look's like you've seen a ghost.

How do you do it, Denise?

How do you just keep going and going after everything you've been through?

-How do you start over again?

-Well...

You've just...

You've got to believe that it is going to get better the next time,

otherwise, you won't get up in the morning.

-Zainab, you look so sad.

-Please, don't pity me.

I need to go.

-Hey!

-No, it's fine. It's nothing.

Zainab, you're hiding in the store room.

It's a silly argument with Masood, you know.

I can't believe me, a grown woman, letting a man get to me.

Come on, you know it's not going to be easy for him,

you moving on with your life - you and Yusef.

I know he's got Jane.

But still...

Hey, we ain't always seen eye to eye, you and me.

What with the whole Yusef thing.

You've been through so much but you've got a wonderful family.

You're a strong woman, Zainab, and I admire that about you.

Right, go, go. Hurry up.

Quickly!

Hey, fellas, fellas, we need to talk rent.

-What you talking about?

-Danger money.

-It's the season of good will.

-Man can't live on good will alone.

Paddy, this is just a box of fireworks and booze.

-Of dubious background.

-Can we talk about this inside, please?

No, man, I comfortable here.

-A pony.

-And a case of rum.

BOTH: Done!

Knock, knock.

What do you want? Or have you just popped by to see how I am?

-Yeah, that's it.

-Aww, how sweet. We should look out for each other.

-Be open and honest.

-Especially now we're in love.

Especially now we're going to be business partners.

Yeah, now we're mixing business with pleasure.

Oh, and by the way...

..I've got a bank statement

showing exactly what I've put aside for the gym.

What I'm worth to you, Michael.

-But what exactly are you worth to me?

-I can cover that.

-Really?

-Yeah, yeah, I got that.

-That's not what Jack says.

-Jack?

-He reckons you don't even own the suit you are standing in.

-He said that, did he?

-You lied to me.

Shut the door on your way out.

Unless, of course, you're looking for a job as a cleaner?

When Phil finds out who it is, he's going to go mental on them.

Yeah, that's if he finds out.

-All right, boys?

-All right?

-All right.

Got here as soon as we could. Roxy called.

She's in the living room.

Right, you wait here.

He thinks he's some sort of gangster.

This is serious. Someone's grassing Phil up.

-We don't know that.

-What about the text messages, photos and all that?

Text messages?

Get out.

Get out!

Yusef, get out!

Masood was right. You lied.

You wormed your way into our house. Why did you do that?

I wanted to be with you.

He warned me about you, but I was too stupid to listen.

I love you.

-You love me? You tried to kill me.

-Yes.

I spent my whole life living with what I did.

Wishing every day I'd been stronger.

-Stronger?

-Strong enough to stand up to my father.

I was just a boy, Zainab.

I wanted to hurt you. But when I saw you again,

all I could think of was us starting over.

Having the life I always dreamed we would.

You looked me in the eyes

and you lied to me.

You showed me your scars and you made me believe you.

I'm sorry.

How did you get them?

I went back for you.

-Why?

-I loved you.

I still do.

And I'll always be grateful to Masood for saving your life.

You love me?

Everything that we have is based on lies.

How will I ever believe another word you say to me?

You made me think that I had wronged you when I ran away with Masood.

I don't know who you really are, Yusef.

No, this is the real me.

The man you've grown to know in these past months.

This is who I really am.

Please believe me. I was angry, scared.

My wife had betrayed me. My family had turned their back on me.

I had nothing left.

So, you burned me.

-I still have nightmares.

-I have the same nightmares.

I know you can never forgive me.

But it's right you know the truth.

Be my guest.

-No more games. It ends now.

-Well, this has got nothing to do with me.

Cos if I got the old bill round, they'd have found something.

Well, someone is seriously trying to get on my bad side.

I've done a bit of investigating myself.

I know who took your file.

-What?

-I knew you'd do this.

Get all paranoid.

Go off at the deep end. And you're right, I've got nothing.

I'm brasic.

Just this grifter's suit, but I earned it.

I grafted for every penny of it. What have you got?

Granny's bank balance. Work hard for that, did you? I doubt it.

It must have been hard pretending to love some bitter old boot...

Ah, careful. Watch out, Janine. You'll be following in her footsteps.

I swotted for every penny of that.

Just about sums you up, Michael. Small change.

I would have matched anything you put on the table. Anything.

Cos that's how I roll. I always come out fighting.

That's what you love about me, right?

Yeah?

But you can't trust anyone, can you?

Because Daddy left you.

Boo-hoo.

I get you, Janine. I get you.

I thought you got me.

I thought we were going places.

Martina's given us the go ahead. Shenice can stay for Christmas.

Oh, great. We're like a proper family then, ain't we?

Right mess the old bill made upstairs.

-That's all I need after a late night last night.

-Leave it.

I'll tidy up. Spend some time with Tommy.

Jean's taken him for a walk.

Great, isn't it?

Tommy's not even a year old and already,

he's had his first police raid.

-They grow up so quickly nowadays, don't they?

-It's not funny, Alfie.

-About last night...

-Tommy's still a baby.

He won't remember none of this when he grows up, all right?

It's not just today though, is it?

It's this life - police,

dodgy dealings, fights. Other kids don't get this start in life.

They do round here.

Maybe that's the problem - living round here.

-Well, I happen to like it here.

-You said that about Spain.

-All right?

-You all right, Derek?

-Had visitors?

Them Jehovah's Witnesses can be very persistent, can't they?

And they love to start early and all.

Give us five minutes, mate? There's a cafe across the road, yeah?

-Did they have any luck or did their efforts fall on stony ground?

-No, they left empty-handed.

-Good.

-You here for your weekly donation, then?

No, you hang onto the collection box this week, Alf.

A man on license doesn't want to have to explain a cash surplus.

You're not expecting a tug, are you?

If they draw a blank at the Mitchells,

they might want to widen the net.

Hope our goods are safely stashed away.

They're safe as houses. I moved them, right...

Woah, Alf, Alf, information best kept to yourself, mate.

I know nothing, remember?

Good. Right, then, I'll see you later.

Yeah, see you later, Derek.

-Right, I am off to The Arches.

-See you.

All right, Dad?

-What's happened?

-Find anything?

There's nothing to find.

-So, is everything OK?

-That depends.

-Out.

-What?

-Out, go.

Nice to see you, too. See you later.

Why were you in Jack's flat?

Me? I wasn't in your flat.

Your fingerprints are all over my place.

-I don't know what you're talking...

-Stay there!

-They ain't my fingerprints.

You've got a criminal record.

-Maybe I went in there once, all right? Years ago, with Roxy.

-What, in my bedroom?

-What do you know about this, eh?

-Nothing.

-I'm losing my patience with the pair of you.

-What's all the shouting about?

-You ever taken Ben into my flat?

-Maybe it was Ronnie.

-I don't think so.

You know what? Maybe I'll report this as a break in, eh?

See how you like another stint inside.

Jay?

-I...

-We were just looking for a couple of DVDs.

When?

When we were babysitting Amy.

-It was my idea...

-You left Amy on her own!

-Yeah, and she nearly drowned.

-We're sorry.

We trusted you, Ben.

I thought you'd gone to work with Tamwar.

I did. Popped back to see...

Should we be frightened of your father?

You love someone for 21 years,

and then, you discover he's not the man you thought.

If we'd have never found out, would it have changed things?

You can't deny the past, cover it up.

He is my past, we were married.

He tried to kill you.

Because I was unfaithful. Because I betrayed him.

And that gives him the right to hurt you?

He was my husband.

Kamil baba, I want you to go to the restaurant.

I want you to play with Tamwar, OK?

I really need all of you out of the house.

Why? I'm not leaving you here with him.

That fire, it ruined our lives.

There is only one way that we can move forward.

-You're not listening.

-Please, Afia. I need you to do this for me.

Baba, you be a good boy, OK? Thank you.

You take care of him.

-You were looking after Amy when you broke into my flat.

-Don't threaten my kid.

-These two muppets nearly drowned Amy!

-She didn't drown, did she?

She's better off with me rather than you lot!

I'm supposed to pay for their mistakes?

You know what? This family ain't fit to have kids.

-Out! Out.

-You know what? You can forget about seeing Amy.

Oi, I ain't going to ask you again, all right?

-How could you?

-I'm sorry.

-It was just for a few minutes.

Those few minutes have cost me my daughter.

-Roxy!

-Don't start having a go at one another,

not with the old bill digging around.

Listen, we're solid, OK?

-Get yourselves a decent breakfast, all right?

-Cheers.

You OK?

Yeah, great.

It ain't Jack or any of us.

Whoever this is wants two grand tomorrow in cash.

Yusef?

I'll just take a few bits now.

My family is everything.

I understand that. You won't hear from me again.

So, we need to put all of this behind us.

Never speak of it again.

Because it's not important anymore.

What's important is the future

and I can't wait for my life to start again.

Zainab?

Let's get married.
