We can't just go.

Be on a ferry to France in two hours.

We drive all night...

And how's that going to look?

This time tomorrow, you'll be lying by a pool with Grant pouring beers.

Dad, we're off the hook. Do you want to look sus?

-I ain't coming.

-Well, you ain't staying here.

Come on, Dad. Portugal?

Oi! What's with all the bags?

We are going to Grant's.

I'm staying right here.

Huh. The amount of numbers you girls keep in your phones.

HE CHUCKLES

I'm a bit late.

You ain't finished your tea and toast.

Yeah, good morning.

I've got a delivery for you, but the address is a bit smudged.

Just don't.

Look, if I could undo what I did...

If I could make it not happen, then...

Jay, we've just got to stick together.

-I ain't leaving Abi.

-It won't be for long.

It's Portugal.

He'll want to stay there, you've seen what he's like.

All for one and one for all.

This ain't a game! I covered up for you.

I lied for you!

Jay, I know that. And I won't ever forget that. I won't ever.

I've done my bit. You're on your own now, all right?

Jay, Dad needs his brother.

I need mine.

SHE KNOCKS ON DOOR

Shirley! Shirl!

Shirley, Phil is leaving.

Are you just going to let him go?

Cheers.

Me and you, Soho tonight? What do you think?

Yeah, we'll see.

We'll see? Oh, come on, babe, I need a change of scene.

After all, I have given up my day off to sit on your stall

selling this...tat.

It is not tat! It helps pay the rent!

And I spent last night picking up poppadoms

off the Argee Bhajee floor. I need a bit of fun.

OK, OK, we'll go!

Really?

Yeah.

-I'm going to ask him what his problem is.

-Don't.

It's your house! You shouldn't feel uncomfortable.

If that lock didn't make a difference, then...

Listen, I just... I don't like being alone with him.

I'll sort it.

You don't have to.

I want to.

I'll sort it.

-Passports?

-Check.

Say goodbye to Walford.

ENGINE SPUTTERS

-This is a joke.

-Jay!

I'll be at Abi's.

-Oi! Oi!

-Jay.

ENGINE SPUTTERS

I went through her phone, found, "Work",

so I phoned it up. Got an address.

Listen, Derek...

Alf, Alf. Bring her home to me, mate.

She's my daughter.

Derek.

Not now, Tyler.

I thought, maybe I could get you a...

I said not now, Tyler!

-Yeah, but you...

-Ty.

Just go and talk to her for me.

Derek, listen, I'm not being rude, but after yesterday,

don't you think she should hear it from the horse's mouth?

Oi.

You ain't leaving.

Just a bit of boy time.

-That was a lot of bags.

-Dad wants us to go and see Grant.

And what about you, what do you want?

I want to make Dad happy.

I'm worried about Shirley, Ben. Look, no-one's seen her for days.

She ain't answering her phone, she's not opening her door. Nothing.

She'll be all right, Rox.

Ben, she's just lost her best friend, yeah.

Just cos Phil dumped on her don't mean you have to as well.

Look, I've told her now we'll have her.

So much for a night out.

-Yasmin's teething. It's not fair on Amira.

-Every time she rings...

We are Yasmin's dads, Christian.

Rox, you fancy a night in Soho? Stop your best mate going crazy?

You know life ain't all partying.

So, you're working at the Vic, then. And moved in with Alfie, too.

Not now.

Babe, I hope you know what you're doing.

It's just a roof and a job, OK?

Come on, bit of disco therapy with me? What do you reckon?

I can't. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's just a bad day.

OK. See ya.

I'll see you soon.

Come on, you, let's go.

I'll come.

To a gay bar?

It's got to be better than helping Masood plan homework for Tiff.

I could do with a night out.

Project Afia. You're on.

There you go, darling. You all right?

-Mmm hmm.

-Good girl.

You distract her, you're out.

You know I said I wanted to be a nurse?

-Yeah?

-I've changed my mind again.

I think a vet would be, like, so much better.

Well, you'd be brilliant.

Do you think so?

Abs...

..why are you with me?

Jay!

You're clever.

Kind.

Beautiful.

I'm not beautiful!

You could have anyone you wanted.

Why do you want someone like me?

I just... I just do.

You've got dreams. Hopes.

I'm just going to ruin them for you.

Jay, has, um, has something happened?

I saw you and Phil earlier.

Revision.

No distractions.

She ain't coping, all right? You and Jay ain't coping.

-We are coping!

-I know you. And I know Phil.

And I ain't having this family fall apart.

You should have thought of that before you moved out.

Shirley?

Shirl, it's Ben.

Alice.

Alice!

-Only be for a few months.

-Ty.

-Few weeks. Fats don't mind, do you?

What? Whitney moving in? No mate, it's cool.

Not moving in. Just staying over. A lot.

No, no. It's cool. I mean, it's your house.

-See? Fats don't mind.

-Well, I do, all right?

Do you remember the first time we had girls staying?

Yes, that's because you were playing buy one get one free.

What about Lauren? That was a great idea, weren't it?

Sick in the bath. Mess everywhere.

Ty, Ty. Listen to your brother. I mean, give him a break.

-He's clearly not on it.

-All right, then, just a few days.

I said no.

You can stay here.

Tyler's on it.

Seriously, if Derek's creeping you out, then...

-Dad!

-Lauren, please...

Can Whitney stay?

-No. No, we ain't got the room.

-It'd only be for a little while.

No, sorry, Whitney. I don't want Lauren getting distracted.

Yeah, fine.

Uncle Derek stares at her, Dad.

-Do me a favour.

-It's OK, Lauren. It's OK.

Tyler's on it. Thanks.

-He's, um, he's just sitting there.

-Well, good.

Cos I told him, don't disturb you.

No, no, no, not like that. It's just...

I think Phil's bullying him. This morning...

-I ain't got time for this now.

-I thought you could talk to him?

Talk to him? That sounds like me, don't it?

You're a guy. I thought it would...

You and your sister. Just one thing after the other today, ain't it?

Please, Dad?

For me?

Cos it's you.

Shirl, it was all cleared out.

Yeah, and I put it back. It wasn't right.

You don't think that's a little bit weird?

It wasn't right.

Takes you back, doesn't it?

Do you not think maybe you should...

Don't tell me to move on, Roxy, because I can't.

I won't.

Just five minutes.

Please. I said no.

Look, five minutes won't hurt.

I said no!

Please. I'm your dad.

You all right, Jay?

Mr Branning.

So, you having a good day?

-I'm in the way, ain't I?

-No.

You're not in the way.

How's Phil?

Same as ever.

Look, Abi thinks me and you should have a little chat. Don't look over.

Which is probably what you want as much as I do.

She thinks you've got things on your mind.

Now I know 17-year-old boys' minds

and you probably want to tell me them thoughts

as much as I want to hear 'em.

But you love Abi and I love Abi, right.

So what we're going to do is stand up like we're still having this chat,

like we're going to go and finish this conversation somewhere else.

Yeah?

I tell you what, we'll go to my car. You can take me for a spin.

Then you'll be one step closer to passing your test and getting a car

that I'm never going to let you take my daughter for a ride in.

Yeah? We got a deal?

Go on, then.

It's Phil. He's packing the car, he's freaking him out.

Well, everybody leaves. Even Andrew's gone back to Southend.

-Phil ain't my business.

-Shirl, he can't do this to people!

He can't do this to Jay and Ben, to all of us.

He ain't doing nothing to me. We're finished.

Do you know something? You two are as tragic as each other!

-Come on, let's leave it.

-I don't even know why you split...

No, you don't, Roxy, so stay out of it.

But he's got to live there. And he can't deal with this.

I told you, I'm all right.

-You're his cousin, you deal with it.

-Just ask him to stay.

He can go to Timbuktu for all I care.

Can we just go now, please?

Shirl, just do this one thing, yeah?

Look at you. You're a mess. And I get it, I really, really do.

But right now, Phil needs you as much as you need him.

Shirl...

Shirl, do it for Ben.

Ben?

I don't remember Ben needing me a little while back.

I don't remember Ben arguing with his dad, begging him to let me stay.

This is all your fault in the first place.

The letters, the court case. Putting him inside.

If it wasn't for poor little Ben, Phil wouldn't even be like this.

-Shirley, this is not fair.

-Wanted to be a man, did ya?

Prove to him that you're his equal? Go on, then, big man. Go and do it.

You're on your own.

Does that need salt?

Anything with a tomato always needs a little pinch of salt.

Oh, you...

..you left this.

You know, my dad, your grandad...

he used to tell me,

"Never say you're sorry, son.

"Keep your head up and never look back."

But I am, Alice.

I'm so, so sorry.

And I'm very glad that you came to see me.

I wish I hadn't bothered.

I suppose your mum's told you some pretty bad things about me.

She said nothing. Nothing good, nothing bad.

She said whatever she thought about you was none of my business.

You were my dad and one day, I could make my own mind up about you.

Well, that was very wise of her.

Well, I've made my mind up and I don't like you.

-But you don't even know me.

-I know enough.

-So she did...

-Whereas Joey...

Joey always said you was a waste of good air.

HE CHUCKLES

Yeah, well he always did have a mouth on him, Joey.

Said you was up yourself. Quick tempered.

Thought you was all that.

Well, maybe I should be proud of him for speaking his mind.

She never said it to my face, but I could tell she hated you.

Two kids, did a runner.

Not a penny. Not a word.

She never to my face but...

I guess just in case you came back.

How is...

Is she well?

You know where she is. Same place she's always been.

Same place I've been my whole life.

Listen, Alice...

..I've done some very bad things. Been in prison.

Joey told me.

And I should feel sorry.

But the thing I'm most sorry about is not being a part of your life.

Not seeing you as a baby.

Not seeing you growing up.

Maybe this is our chance. My chance.

To put things right.

Is that why you came to find me?

Yeah. Yeah, maybe it is.

Except you didn't come to find me, did you?

You came to find Joey.

I was always the other one.

The one who doesn't exist.

No, no, no, Alice. No.

Last night, all I kept thinking about was my little girl coming...

coming to see me.

After everything, after all this time,

she came.

Well, I wish I hadn't bothered.

I've got work.

Is this Marsden? Is this why you're running away?

There's got to be something wrong with the fuel pump.

I know she came to see you. What did she say?

The trouble is, you never know which one it is.

Phil, I'm worried about you. Come on, I'm worried about Shirley.

Not my problem.

She's holed up in that flat over there.

She's put all Heather's stuff back. It's like a shrine. It's weird.

-I don't care.

-Yes, you do.

You love her. I know you love her.

OK, what about Jay? What about Ben?

What's he done to deserve this?

You don't know what you're talking about.

-He's done nothing.

-Rox, just leave him.

You're his dad. He's terrified.

Listen, I ain't taking parenting lessons off of you.

Running to Portugal, chucking Shirley out. What's happened?

-What has happened? You're destroying him.

-Oh, am I?

-Is that right?

-Just leave him, Roxy.

-I'm destroying you?

-Let's find the fuse.

-Roxy wants to know what's happened.

Phil, he doesn't need this.

Butter wouldn't melt in little Ben's mouth, would it?

-Dad, that's enough.

-Ben, who sent me them letters...

-He's a boy.

-Ben, who tried to have me sent down...

He's lost someone that he loves, Phil. Look at him!

Get in there. Get in there and in ten minutes, we're gone, OK?

-Aunty Peggy would get this out of you.

-Don't talk about my mother.

That's why you're going to Grant's, isn't it?

Don't bring my mum into this.

-That's why you're going to Grant instead of going...

-Just shut up!

Shut up!

Go! Just go!

ENGINE SPUTTERS

Come and see me again, eh?

Alice? Alice, come and see me next week.

Look, you've got family you've never even met.

You've got uncles, you'll like your uncles.

You've got a lovely aunt, more somewhere.

And you've got cousins, kids your own age. I know they want to meet you.

-They know nothing about me.

-Yeah, but I want you to meet them.

Please, Alice, look, I'm trying here.

One day, you scare the life out of me and now you won't leave me alone.

You're my family.

You're my daughter.

And I want to get to know you.

And I want you to know who I am.

Who's that, then?

I'm a good man who's done some bad things.

I'm a man who likes a laugh.

I'm a man who believes that manners are important.

I'm a man who'd rather eat pie and mash over a burger, any day,

but always order a burger over a pizza.

I'm a man who just wants the chance to get to know his daughter.

-Cheers, buddy.

-Thank you.

I don't want him living there, though, do I?

He ain't coming back to mine. Uncle Jack can have him.

Or...

No, no, no. Stop with the or.

Derek? Sorry, girls, no room at the inn.

I don't want Tyler talking to him

cos I kind of like his face the way it is.

Oh, well, I'll just have to do it myself.

You sure you don't mind me staying in?

No. No, it's fine. You sure you don't mind me going?

Well, there's no point us both missing out.

I'll stay if you want me to.

No, you go. Have fun.

I won't be late.

Don't wake me up.

BABY CRIES

-I should...

-Yeah, me, too.

Clarkey.

I love you.

You more.

You didn't tell her, did you?

Once we get out of here, it'll all be all right.

Somebody took out the fuel pump relay.

-Wooh, girl!

-Too much?

Rule number one, there is no such thing as too much.

Looks like we've got company.

Didn't say you were going out.

I thought he knew.

I thought... a change of scene might be nice.

I thought that Rahul can look after the pensioners

and I could spend some time with my hard-working wife.

You don't have to.

I want to, Afia, OK? We can celebrate last night's success.

And I can say sorry for ignoring you. Well, not ignoring you.

But, you know.

-It's all right, babe. The more the merrier.

-Yeah?

Yes, yes, brothers. Are we going to paint this town red?

Or pink? Or is it lilac?

Erm, mauve? Purple?

Average heart beat?

60 to 90 beats per minute.

-Dual Carriageway speed limit?

-Is that with or without a caravan?

A milk float. With a trailer.

HAMMERING ON DOOR

So which one of us would be the girl, then?

You've lost me.

With the four of us going to the club...

You know, when they look at us,

how are they supposed to know which one of us is the girl?

Isn't that the point? There is no girl.

-Er, I'm the girl, yeah?

-All right, well not the girl, then.

Like, who's the catcher and, like, who's the pitcher?

I don't know. I just want to know.

I know what you're playing at.

-Think I wouldn't find out, eh?

-Just calm down.

-What, the relay fall out by itself, did it?

-Leave him!

I want you home now. Home. Now. Come on.

-What's he doing here?

-Come on, Phil, you're in my house.

-Dad, come on.

-You've got ten seconds.

-Oi, out. Come on.

-Nine.

-I ain't coming.

-Eight.

-Come on, Phil, just get out.

-Seven.

-Dad.

-I'm not coming.

-Six.

-Just leave him alone, Phil.

-I am not running to Portugal!

-Portugal?

-Five.

-You heard him, didn't you?

-Jay. You and me, yeah?

-Four.

-No. I'm not coming.

-Don't matter what he's done.

-Three.

-He ain't coming. Get out.

-It's got nothing to do with you.

-It's my house.

-Two.

-Jay, you're my brother, yeah?

One.

DOOR SLAMS SHUT

Whitney?

Whit, is that your bag? You ain't moving out are you?

No, it's mine.

I'm moving in.

-Oh, does Bianca or Carol know about this?

-I'll let them know.

-Don't worry.

-Gone five minutes and you've moved your boyfriend in.

Well, you ain't my dad, are you?

Are you sure about this?

Never been surer.

Dad! Hold on!

Dad!

Dad, please!

Dad... Dad...

Thank you very much, cheers.

Hey. She needed Rusks. I needed hot chocolate.

You forget something?

Yep.

You.

Thought you needed fun?

I do. So the sooner we get this little one to sleep...

..the better.

Come on.

So why's he being like that?

Well, he's just a bully, isn't he?

What does he think you've done?

Jay? Come on, just tell me.

I just can't go back there.

You go upstairs for the loo only, OK?

He couldn't get away fast enough, could he?

Dad, you haven't got to do this.

Should've thought of that before. You've driven him away, ain't you?

Driven him away, driven all of them away. Poor, poor little Ben.

Mummy died, step-mummy hurt him. Do you know what?

-You make me sick.

-Please, Dad, don't.

You know what I think sometimes?

Sometimes, I wish that you'd died in that crash with Kathy.

Cos it might have been better for all of us. Especially you.

Cos you've done this, Ben. You've done this.

All of this is you. And do you know why?

Do you know why, eh? Because of me.

Me. Look what I've made you into. Look what I've done.
