0:00:49 > 0:00:51KEYS JINGLE
0:01:19 > 0:01:23FRONT DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- IAN:- You were fighting in public!
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- It wasn't a fight! She attacked me! - You ruined my dress on purpose!
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- I saw a mouse!- You know what, Lucy, you're pathetic!
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Why don't you just grow up? - I thought she was going to kill me, Dad.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42SHE SCOFFS
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Come here...
0:01:44 > 0:01:47All right? Hey...
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Here, Bianca was in here only yesterday drying sheets...
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Morgan's been wetting the bed.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Oh, dear.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03He'll get over it... Course,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05he wouldn't have to if Ricky was still around...
0:02:05 > 0:02:09if some tart hadn't slept with him and broken his marriage.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14Well, it couldn't have been that strong a marriage if that's all it took to break it.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15You don't even care, do you?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Three kids wondering where their dad is
0:02:17 > 0:02:21and my daughter putting on a brave face and crying herself to sleep every night.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I didn't mean...
0:02:23 > 0:02:28You just couldn't help yourself. Just one of those things - knickers got a mind of their own.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Oh, I say, Carol...
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Right, well, I suppose you hate me, too, eh, Dot?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Hate is a very strong word, Mandy.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- But I am very fond of Bianca and them children...- Whatever.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45I don't suppose Ian was very pleased with your shenanigans in the pub last night.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Well, that's me, innit, Dot, eh?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I wreck marriages and I wallop kids.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Better watch out before I start on pensioners.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56It's very hard...to join a family.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59She just looks at me and I want to strangle her, Dot.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- She's only a child.- No, no!
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- She is not! - She is a child who's lost her mother and is clinging onto her father,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07and you should stop acting like a child
0:03:07 > 0:03:09and start acting like a mother.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Do you know how many black eyes and split lips I had off my mum?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15No...and I don't want to know. It's all in the past.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I mean, we all have our cross to bear.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23You want to prove to Ian and to everybody else that you can be a good mother.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25How?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27By being honest with her.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33So...stay long, did she, yesterday? Roxy?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36No, no...she left just after you did, actually.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Oh. Good...
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Anyway, I posted that passport form for you, all right?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Yeah, good.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48All right?
0:03:51 > 0:03:52All right?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Yeah, you?
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Yeah, good... Having some lunch?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Yeah...
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Join me, if you want.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00OK.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05JACK CLEARS THROAT
0:04:07 > 0:04:10So...about last night...
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Yeah. It was...a mistake.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Yeah. - Shouldn't have happened, right?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21No. But it did...and there's no point us ignoring it,
0:04:21 > 0:04:26- even if we both want to. - Jack, what if Amy had walked in, seen us asleep together?
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Funny you should say that, cos she said something to me after you left.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31What?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33She asked me if we had a sleep over.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- SHE LAUGHS - Did she really?
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Yeah, she did.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37- BIANCA:- Tan...
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Hiya.- There is definitely something going on with them.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- You're imagining it...- No.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- Can I ask you something?- Mmhm.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49OK, I have been playing it over and over and...
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Did you plan this?
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Course not.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55It's just a bit convenient, innit?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Us sleeping together, a couple of days before we go to court.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Let's just get one thing straight...
0:05:01 > 0:05:02you came round to mine,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04all guns blazing.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06If someone's up to something, it ain't me.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11We had a few drinks...and I fancied you. Just happened, didn't it?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14You fancied me?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Yeah, strange as it may sound, I did.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Oh, no, I see what you mean.- See.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Lucy...
0:05:29 > 0:05:31What?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Can you...come and sit down, please?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Going to hit me if I don't?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Please.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Look, I'm not very good at this. - At what?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Talking about stuff...
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I know what you think of me.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56You want me out of your dad's life...
0:05:56 > 0:05:58but that's not going to happen.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00So I thought it would be a good idea
0:06:00 > 0:06:03if I talked to you a little bit about me.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Maybe you can...
0:06:05 > 0:06:07tell me a bit about you.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09All right, then.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Good...right, umm...well...
0:06:15 > 0:06:17How did you first meet my dad?
0:06:17 > 0:06:22I mean, years ago, not when he found you selling your body at that club.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Well, I used to live round here...
0:06:30 > 0:06:33when I was a kid, younger than you.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Pat, and then your gran, Kathy, took me in.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40She was really good to me, actually.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41I wasn't quite so good to her.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Suppose you could say I had, er...
0:06:46 > 0:06:48mother issues...
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Mine wasn't really bothered with me.
0:06:53 > 0:07:00So...when someone did pay me a kindness, I didn't really know how to take it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01I was really...independent.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I used to see how my mum was with men and, you know,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08I vowed I'd never be like that.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10So you knew my dad back then?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Yeah, a bit... He was with your mum, Cindy.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Actually, I think she was pregnant with you.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Anyway, like I said, I didn't get on with my mum and stuff,
0:07:21 > 0:07:25so I moved here when I was 15, 16.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- And that's when I met Aidan. - Boyfriend?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Love of my life.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36They say that, don't they, you know? First love, true love.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39But it is true.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Been plenty since, I admit...
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I've never really been one for being on my own.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- You said you were independent? - Maybe I like to kid myself.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57But Aidan...he was the real deal.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59What happened?
0:08:00 > 0:08:04He... He got ill...
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Depression...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Got it into his head that I was bad for him.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I probably was.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18But I loved him...
0:08:18 > 0:08:22and I thought he believed in me.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25You know,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27like how your dad believes in me.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29But, Lucy, I've been a cow in the past,
0:08:29 > 0:08:33I'll hold my hands up to that, swear I will.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I'm not after anything from your dad
0:08:36 > 0:08:39other than the way he makes me feel -
0:08:39 > 0:08:41safe...and wanted.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Oh, that is gorgeous, ain't it? - Want anything else?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53No, thanks.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Got some apple pie out the back. - No, thanks.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Or how about a sundae with a couple of little spoons? No? No?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01No, thanks.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Ever get the feeling you're being watched?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Right, I better go.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Yeah, I need to pick Amy up.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17See you later, Bianca.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18See you later.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23So...
0:09:23 > 0:09:24maybe...
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Maybe...?- ..if you're not doing anything later...
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Yeah, well, I don't have any plans.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35You're joking, right?!
0:09:35 > 0:09:36You've gotta be joking!
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- I'm going to go get Amy, yeah?- OK.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42HE LAUGHS
0:09:48 > 0:09:52I never thought I'd have kids.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Hardly maternal, am I?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56But I was pregnant, once.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59it wasn't planned or anything, but...
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I thought maybe it'd be a turning point, you know?
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Fresh start.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06What happened?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I had a little girl...Kira...
0:10:10 > 0:10:12She only lived a day.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Sorry about that.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17It was a long time ago.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22But your dad told me about YOU being pregnant.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Guess we've got something in common, eh?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Being pregnant? Got something in common with most people round here.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Well, we've both suffered a loss.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40I can only imagine what it's like having an abortion, but...
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- I'm guessing you didn't just shrug it off.- No.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Reckon we got off on the wrong foot, me and you.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57But I have been honest with you, because, believe it or not,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I would like a relationship with you.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Get lost.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11One thing led to another, did it?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Yes, Michael. Things do, you know that.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16You just got caught up in the moment, did you?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Huh?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Do me a favour,
0:11:20 > 0:11:25that's not Jack. He's planned it. I bet Derek got him to do it, as well.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Get his leg over,
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- get you all confused for court. - Hold on a minute,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32hold on a minute. What is so difficult...
0:11:32 > 0:11:34what is so difficult to believe in someone fancying me?
0:11:34 > 0:11:38That's not what I'm saying. That's entirely plausible.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- What I'm saying is how can you be so gullible?- I wasn't! I asked him. I said, "Did you plan this?"
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Cos he's really going to admit it(!) You've played right into his hands.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48You see that, don't you?
0:11:48 > 0:11:52You know what I think? I think you're just wishing this was you.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- Ah...really? - Yeah. Let me tell you something...
0:11:56 > 0:11:58There was nothing pretend about last night, OK?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Picked it up in Doncaster, drove it down this morning.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Rides like a dream.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Well, I'm not interested, Derek.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Course you are! - I don't sell knock-offs.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15You'll be running for Mayor, next.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Come on,
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- I'll give you a good price. - Nice try, Derek.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22See you later.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28You got a book to read tonight?
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Yeah, but can't you just put in my report that I read it? - No! That's cheating.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34You cheated your exams.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Yeah, and I have to re-take a whole year
0:12:36 > 0:12:39and now I'm stuck doing AS levels with a bunch of kids.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Learn from my mistakes.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Bobby, what do you think about Mandy?
0:12:48 > 0:12:49She's all right.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Is she?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Dad smiles more now.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Yeah,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57but I'm back now so we don't need her, do we?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59You'll just leave like Mum did.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01And I don't like it when it's just me and Dad.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Why?
0:13:03 > 0:13:04He gets sad.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Here, have you seen her legs? Gotta be airbrushed.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12You're not going to pay for that, are you?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I'll be done in ten minutes.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Look, you see her?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I was mistaken for her just the other day.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Who by? Stevie Wonder?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Me and her have got a lot in common, actually.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27And I'm not just talking about our taste in men. Saying that,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- I definitely would. - Yeah, I would. Lucky cow.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Know what I mean? See, if we were moving in
0:13:32 > 0:13:35those Hollywood circles, that's the kinda man we'd be pulling.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Oh, yeah? Who's that then?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40It's rude to read over people's shoulders.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I wasn't reading - I was just looking at the pictures.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Just the one, please, darling.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Thank you.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Denise, isn't it?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49The lovely Kim's delectable sister.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54- Yes, I see what you mean about the smooth talking. - You ain't heard nothing yet.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57What you doing this afternoon, Kim?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Uh, this afternoon? I'm busy.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04I'm working at the pub, babe. But it would be good to see you -
0:14:04 > 0:14:06and if we hit a quiet patch, I could shower you with attention.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- Like I said, I'm busy. Get the picture?- Crystal.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12You're fighting the chemistry. That's cool,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15but we both know you're going to give in soon.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- SHE LAUGHS - As if! Anyway, I've got one...a date.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- Have you? You never said. - Yes, I did.- Who with?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25A man. Look, do I have to tell you everything?
0:14:25 > 0:14:29I've got a right to have a private life, you know. So, no,
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Raymondo, I'm not free.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34And, um...if you'll excuse me,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37there's somewhere I need to be.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Popular girl, your sister.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Very.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46HE CHUCKLES
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- BIANCA:- They were definitely flirting.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51You'll have got that wrong.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Mum, I spent the best part of a year in a women's prison -
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I think I know flirting when I see it.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Well, maybe they were just talking about Amy or something.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Maybe that is exactly how Amy came to be born in the first place.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04You want to watch it - Ricky's only been gone ten minutes
0:15:04 > 0:15:07and you're turning into a right old gossip. I'll have a tea, darling.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- All right, can I join you? - Hiya, Carol.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Here, Tanya, it says here that the cost of the average wedding
0:15:13 > 0:15:14is £22,000.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16All right for some.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I've been roped in to planning Heather's wedding.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- More like 22 pence then. - Money doesn't make a wedding. - That is true.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Me and Greg threw thousands at ours and it was over before it began.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Yes, well, no offence, Tanya, but I mean,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I think that Andrew and Heather are more committed - thank you -
0:15:33 > 0:15:37than you and Greg. You mark my words, they'll be together
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- till death do us part.- I don't believe that. Not these days.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Marriage is like everything else. First sign of it not working,
0:15:44 > 0:15:49- you walk away. - I'm sorry you feel like that, Carol. - It's hard not to. Thanks, darling.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54- It's hard not to, you know, what with Ricky gone off.- He'll be back, though?- I doubt it. Not this time.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59Mind you, you've got it all to come, with Lauren and Abi, getting married, having kids...
0:15:59 > 0:16:01crying on your shoulder when their fella
0:16:01 > 0:16:06- finds that the grass is greener somewhere else.- Grass is never greener.- Well, I don't care...
0:16:06 > 0:16:11- obviously I care, I just mean, as long as I'm around to see it. - Tanya, sorry, I never thought...
0:16:11 > 0:16:15I don't want you to think. It's fine. Bad enough I have to think about it.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Here, what d'you think -
0:16:17 > 0:16:19you can get hawks now,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22to fly into the church, carrying the wedding rings in their claws.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Well, if they saw a mouse, I mean, they'd be off like a flash, wedding rings and all!
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- What if they attacked a guest?! - When I married my Charlie,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I wore a borrowed two piece
0:16:32 > 0:16:36and the wedding ring he slipped on my finger was brass... Mind you,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38he gave me a lovely bouquet... I say, "lovely",
0:16:38 > 0:16:42I discovered afterwards he'd nicked it off a grave.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46There I was in front of the vicar, plighting my troth,
0:16:46 > 0:16:50with a card stuck in me roses saying, "Now you're resting with the angels."
0:16:50 > 0:16:54I know! "Cyril and Maisie". Well, I never knew a Cyril and Maisie!
0:16:57 > 0:16:59My dad'll be back in a minute.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03You telling me you can't make an executive decision, bright girl like you?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- How do you know I'm bright? - It's in the eyes.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10- You've got the brains in the family. Me, I just got the good looks. - THEY LAUGH
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Ah...here he is.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Uncle Derek's going to sell us a car.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Oh, is he?
0:17:19 > 0:17:25There's a woman out there sniffing round the Merc. Go and make some encouraging noises, Lauren.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I already told you, not interested.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36And I was going to put it through the Arches,
0:17:36 > 0:17:40but then I thought to myself, "What about Max's three kids?"
0:17:43 > 0:17:47"There's a recession on, Max will need all the help he can get."
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- No, Derek, I told you, no. - Come on, Max,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53how many years we going to do this? We both know the routine.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58You're going to complain and protest and I'm going to get my own way in the end.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- As always.- No. Not as always, Derek. I ain't going to process a knocked off motor.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03It's my business,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06you know what I mean? My family.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Oh, family? Oh, I see, right...
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Family.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14You know the great thing about families?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17They're built on trust. So how about showing me some, eh?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I dunno, Max...
0:18:20 > 0:18:22You know, all the favours I've done you over the years.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Remember?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Yeah?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I ask for one in return...
0:18:28 > 0:18:30HE TUTS
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Disappointed. Very disappointed, Max.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Go on, Derek...just this once.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45All right?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49See! Weren't so painful, was it? Here you go.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Now,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54let's talk money.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Really?
0:18:57 > 0:19:02Yeah...I mean, I opened up and I think she appreciated it.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- We are talking about Lucy? - Well, you know,
0:19:04 > 0:19:09I think she was seeing me as some sort of gold digger... I've put her straight now.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11No more fighting?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Well, I can't promise that.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15She comes for me, I'm going to hit back.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- SHE LAUGHS - Relax.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22I was actually thinking I might even ask her to be bridesmaid.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- Bridesmaid?- Yeah, just so I can get her to wear a really horrible dress.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Come on!
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Cheers. Take care.- See ya.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Thank you...
0:19:36 > 0:19:40See, I'm not the sort of girl who goes on many dates,
0:19:40 > 0:19:43so keeping it local makes me feel a bit more safe.
0:19:43 > 0:19:49- Oh right...very wise. I'm very safe...- Well, I don't want to take a chance on a first date.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Oh, um...
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Oh, thank you!
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- Would you like to get a table and I'll get the drinks?- Yeah, OK. - What would you like?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00I'm not really a big drinker...
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Oh, right, is that something to do with your culture?
0:20:03 > 0:20:04My what?
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. It's just... I'm fascinated, you see,
0:20:08 > 0:20:13because I've never actually been out with someone, well...
0:20:13 > 0:20:15of your colour before.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Colour?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Sorry, is that not very PC of me?
0:20:19 > 0:20:23I get a bit confused, you know. It's just, I've never had the confidence to speak to
0:20:23 > 0:20:25a woman like you before...
0:20:25 > 0:20:29and then when you came online and asked ME for a date... SHE COUGHS
0:20:29 > 0:20:32..that was like a dream come true.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Sorry...er, drink?
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Er...brandy and coke, yeah.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Double.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46So this the hot new date, then?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- Not that it's any of your business...but yeah.- Wow.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Let's hope it's the beginning of something beautiful for both of you!
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I don't care if she had a rubbish childhood.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01So what? Doesn't change the fact that she's a leech.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Yeah, and who's to say any of it's even true?
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Yeah... Actually, I think it probably was true...but so what?
0:21:07 > 0:21:12- She can tell someone who cares. - Someone that she ain't gone all Kill Bill on.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15She's crazy. I mean, proper crazy.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I just think she's desperate, you know?
0:21:17 > 0:21:21I mean, she's getting on a bit - must be hard when you're used to
0:21:21 > 0:21:26men falling all over you, then suddenly, you hit her age and no-one's interested any more.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28What, so you find a mug to look after you?
0:21:28 > 0:21:29That's my dad, all right.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Yeah, well, they're all the same.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Have you ever heard of a woman having a mid-life crisis?
0:21:36 > 0:21:37How's your mum?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Er... Pretending everything's OK.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43No, I dunno, maybe it is,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46but I'm just dreading getting these test results back.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Sorry.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Oh, well...life sucks.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Yeah, but...she'll be all right, though, won't she?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56I don't know.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00I mean, I don't want to think about her not being all right,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02but then that's all I CAN think about.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07What if she...? You know.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Yeah.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11And if she doesn't get better, if she does...
0:22:11 > 0:22:14then I ain't staying round here.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17There's no way I'm living with my dad.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Tell me about it. Your mum will be all right, I'm sure she will.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Yeah...and your dad will see through Mandy.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Oh, he definitely will. I'll make sure of that.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Just in time, just sticking the kettle on.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Where's all the kids?- Liam's at work
0:22:32 > 0:22:34and the other two are upstairs.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Done any more spying on Jack?
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- I don't care what you say, there is definitely something going on.- Maybe...
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Could be the perfect solution. At least that way he won't lose Amy.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45He won't lose her.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- Come on, Bianca. Have you heard of a mother not getting custody? - Amy's better off with Jack.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Why? Because a girl needs her father?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54I think Tiffany'd have something to say about that.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- What's she said? - It's what she's NOT said.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59I mean, what are they meant to think?
0:22:59 > 0:23:00One minute Ricky's here,
0:23:00 > 0:23:05- the next he's gone, and you're pretending like he don't exist any more.- No, I'm not.- To them you are.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07They're not stupid. They know something's happened.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- Yeah, he's working away, like before. - And last time he worked away Morgan wasn't wetting the bed.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14All right, Mum, what you saying?
0:23:14 > 0:23:15I'm saying be honest with them.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17What, like you was with us for years?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- You never told us anything! - I admit I was wrong.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22But believe me, they're stronger than you think.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I've seen how they've handled themselves over the last 12 months.
0:23:25 > 0:23:31- I don't know.- Unless there's another reason why you don't want to say Ricky's gone for good?- Like what?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Like once you tell them, you'll have to accept it's true.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- Are you crazy?- Look, it just happened, all right?- No...
0:23:41 > 0:23:44No, Jack, it's not all right. You're losing your focus, mate.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Don't let anything distract you
0:23:46 > 0:23:49from keeping custody of your daughter.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52And when you do you keep her, you change her name. She's a Branning.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Oi, I'm not losing me focus.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57You always was a sucker for a pair of pins and a bit of cleavage.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02I'm not a kid any more, Derek. I'm on it, look... I've applied for a passport for Amy.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03So you can do a runner if needed?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- No, so I can keep her here. - I preferred my idea.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14- Me old business partner! - Michael, where's that stuff we're throwing out?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- My brother wants a shufty. - Lockers.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30You want to get rid of him from here.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32He ain't that bad, is he?
0:24:33 > 0:24:36What you up to, Jack?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38What you up to?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52So...do you go out on many dates?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55One or two. SHE LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY
0:24:55 > 0:24:57What you laughing at?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Oh, you're just so funny!
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- White girls don't think I'm funny.- No?
0:25:02 > 0:25:05You know, I'm totally into...
0:25:05 > 0:25:08racial integration, you know, between the races.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13Racial and cultural mix, well, that can be a wonderful thing.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Yeah?
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Well, just so you know, I'm not the sort of girl who likes to
0:25:18 > 0:25:20INTEGRATE on the first date.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Oh, well I... I didn't mean to imply that...
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- I mean, I wouldn't... - No?- Well, no, I would...
0:25:27 > 0:25:29of course I would, I'd love to...
0:25:29 > 0:25:32well, LOVE might be pushing it a bit, I've only known you,
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- what, three quarters of an hour... - Yeah, yeah, OK...
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Excuse me.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Yeah.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- Is this what Kat pays you to do? Stare at people? - I don't need paying to stare at you.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52- You really think you're the man, innit?- I'm more the man for you than he is.- I don't think so, sunshine.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55What is it, babe? Scare you too much, do I?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57What, because I'm not safe?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Because of the butterflies? Hmm?
0:25:59 > 0:26:00- SHE LAUGHS - Butterflies?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Listen, I don't know what you see when you look into
0:26:03 > 0:26:06your enchanted mirror, but YOU ain't all that.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08And I ain't as easy as I look.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Babe, no-one's as easy as that.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- Kim...are you all right?- You don't talk to me again, all right?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18You see me, you cross over the road. You hearing me?
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Can I help, or is this some brother, sister, soul thing?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26No, but this is.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29HE LAUGHS
0:26:29 > 0:26:32See, that's what I'm talking about! A woman with passion!
0:26:32 > 0:26:36What we doing tomorrow night, babe? Pictures?
0:26:36 > 0:26:37SHE SCREAMS
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Right, this better be important.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52- Nice to see you too. You look fit. - Don't play games with me, Michael.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55You said it was urgent, on the phone. If this is just another dig about Jack
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I'm grabbing that glove and laying you out right now.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- You don't think he's playing you? - Michael, it is possible for someone to actually like me,
0:27:02 > 0:27:06to fancy me, to even enjoy my company without wanting something from me.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Come with me.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13What?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17All in good time. First of all, you gotta tell me,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19what's going on with you and Jack, really?
0:27:19 > 0:27:24- I don't know, OK? And anyway, what's it got to do with you? - It's got everything to do with me!
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- Cos I loved you. - SHE LAUGHS
0:27:26 > 0:27:27I did.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Yeah.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33I'm not saying I'm STILL in love with you. I'm not... I'm not making a move.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37I'm saying that when we were together it was...
0:27:37 > 0:27:38it was real.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43I felt stuff...
0:27:43 > 0:27:47and I...I don't want to see Jack playing games with you.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- SHE SIGHS - What games, Michael?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52These games.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Have a look...
0:28:02 > 0:28:06That's about applying for a new passport. And look...
0:28:06 > 0:28:10I don't think you signed all those names, did you?
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Now tell me he's not playing games with you!
