It's possible she's going by Janine Butcher.

-But she could be using a pseudonym.

-Friends? Relatives?

Not really. There's a list, but I doubt that lot'd help her.

What about properties, places she'd go?

Very organised.

I want to find her.

I'll start looking.

Good. Find anything, let me know.

So pretty, ain't ya?

Well, well, well.

Come on. Whee! Yes.

Shouldn't you be at work? Oh, Tam?

Isn't your new chef starting today?

I'm taking a step back.

Mmm... Your idea?

Joint decision. Pretty standard, really.

One partner handles day to day operations,

and the other takes a broader view.

Ah. And what does your mother say about that?

I haven't really told Mum about this...

cos, you know, she tends to "help out".

-My head.

-I know. I know.

-What was in that rum?

Good morning! How are we today?

-I'm just leaving.

-Oh no, please! Don't be silly.

-Come and join us for some breakfast.

-No.

I insist on it. I'll cook you anything you like.

-She's got to get Amy.

-Amy? Of course! You're a mother.

I don't know how that slipped my mind. Off you go then.

Go and tell your lovely,

impressionable daughter how wonderful last night was.

See ya.

Bye.

See ya! Thank you for coming. Visit us again soon. Love you.

Something funny?

'Because I'm skint.'

If Lexi's going to need more nappies,

I'm going to need more work.

No more stealing, Lola.

It's not stealing.

Well, not any more. I'm going to buy some floor cleaner off Syed.

And what if your Youth Offenders Officer finds out about this black market cleaning?

Then they'll be happy.

I've finished my community service and got a job.

-Not a legitimate one, though.

-But if you helped me, I can get it done in half the time.

Then there's less chance of me getting caught. But until then all I need is just...

Sorry, sorry.

It's Jimmy Cliff day at my old local in Ladbroke Grove.

-I'll come with you, won't I?

-There you are.

All right, fine. You're going to regret this, Patrick.

I was going to cut you in

and I could've sorted your retirement, right there.

-I'll be back this afternoon.

-Huh?

-Youth Offenders Officer?

I will definitely be gone for that.

You wimp. All right, fine.

Come on.

-Where're you going? What about Lexi?

-I'll be ten minutes. Please, just ten minutes?

-Please? Patrick.

-All right, all right.

-You leave the negotiating to me, yeah?

-You winding me up?

Excuse me, you are an amateur at this and I am a professional. Come on.

So, tiny little baby, you hardly ever go out

and you're still pulling the birds.

Yeah. I saw her leaving this morning, looking very smart.

-<

-Hello?

Hello. In here!

-It's not what you think. She's helping me out with something.

-I bet she is.

Hey! What have you got all over your face?

Where did you get chocolate from?

From here. Didn't ya?

Where's my chocolate?

Right. I've got this poxy health visitor.

-OK. Was she good?

-Yeah, she was great.

-Jack, what's she got in her hair?

-I don't know.

What - you didn't look?

Rox, I got a gym to run here, ain't I?

Pick her up Wednesday night, yeah?

Yeah, all right.

Come on, Ames, let's go.

You even get home last night? You look a state.

-Always really grateful for your feedback.

-Know his name, this one?

Oh, don't.

-That's our daughter you're setting an example to.

-And it's all right for you, is it?

To bring home dolly birds every night? You're a parent as well.

I take care of my responsibilities, don't I?

-And I don't?

-Can you look me in the eye and tell me you feel great about yourself?

-Yeah. See you later, Amy.

-Say bye to Daddy.

-£2.20 a litre.

-Are you having a laugh?

-That's cheap.

-I can get four litres for £6.50 down the cash and carry.

Yeah, no name stuff, sure.

Yeah, but floor cleaner's floor cleaner, ain't it?

-All from the same factory, just different labels. Pound a litre, then.

-You're joking.

-Any more than that, I might as well go get it myself.

-£1.50.

-£1 or nothing.

How much do you want?

Three boxes now, then we'll see how we get on.

And 10% for buying in bulk, yeah?

-No chance.

-Worth a try.

Here y'are.

Er, cash?

Later on when you drop the rest.

Syed...

You've never been down the cash and carry before, have you?

What did I say? Leave the negotiating to me.

I thought you said you was skint.

I am. But I'll sort that later.

Offloading a bit of excess?

Got it cheap, so why not?

-How much did you get?

-Few boxes.

Tam said he's taking a break.

From the day to day stuff, yeah.

Anyway, I've got to chat to the new chef about wedding plans.

Christian and I are having it at the restaurant.

-That's a really good idea.

-Yeah, best get on, so...

Right. See you, then.

How'd we go?

Yeah, not bad. Had a few people in.

We should put the machine outside in the mornings - do coffee for people going to the Tube.

Yeah. Look into that. Good margin on takeaways.

Also, we could, um...

What...?

That's it.

All right.

Morning! Barrel store looks good. Ever so tidy.

There's going to be some changes.

Oh, here he is.

Emergency?

I'm on my own. Thanks for your support this morning.

She was up till half six waiting for you, you know.

She didn't want to miss you.

Good old Basanti. Always hating on me.

-Well, she had a very good reason.

-You knew exactly what was going on.

Yeah. Still. You don't have to rub her face in it.

So is this it?

You going to spend your day in a dingy bar?

-Oi. First day of the coffees, give us a break.

-Too bright in the caff.

-You could help Syed.

You don't want me anywhere near the public.

He's got these boxes of cleaning products to sell. You could sell.

Is this the Michael thing?

-What Michael thing?

-I don't know.

Syed mentioned some deal that had fallen through.

-What deal?

-I don't know.

What deal?

-I don't know.

-AJ, what deal?

Headache... Please.

Right, I've got to go.

-So this is how it is now, is it?

-What's that?

You dropping Dennis off whenever you like, me baby-sitting,

you coming and going whenever you please.

That's how it works.

Cooking him dinners, reading him stories.

-Stories?

-What, you only read him one?

We were reading a good hour, hour and a half.

Yeah. Roger The Racehorse, My Trip To The Seaside.

A lot of heavy stuff going in that boy's head before he could go to sleep.

But you got there in the end. All that effort, eh?

Yeah. For no reward.

What did you have in mind then?

Well, just dinner.

-When?

-Tomorrow night.

You got a sec?

-I'm in the middle of something.

-Won't take long.

Thanks, Jack. Oh, Jack?

That proposal? I'll consider it.

Yeah. If it's not too much trouble.

I... I was out of order.

Go on.

I said some things I shouldn't have. That I didn't mean.

I got no excuse.

I'm not coming back to the Vic.

You sure?

There's too much history there. For me.

You're doing a good job here, you know.

Anything you want to do here during the day, as long as it breaks even, do whatever you want.

I already am.

Yeah, I noticed.

I'll er...I'll leave you to it then.

Any word from Ben?

No.

Phil, if you need anything, let me know. I'm here, OK? I mean it.

Cheers.

And Phil, be careful of that place.

You can beat it, just be careful, yeah?

Ah. Wedding in the restaurant is a very good idea.

-I know, I think it's going to be really nice.

-Less organisation, too.

You think that, but a venue does it all for you. You don't even have to ask for a cake knife.

-You haven't got a cake knife, have you?

-No.

Must be a nightmare with all that bleach clogging up the flat as well.

How d'you mean?

-That cleaning stuff Syed's selling.

-Nah, Sy's got a lock up. Work and home do not cross.

-Syed's got a lock up?

-He has indeed. Look, I've gotta get on.

-I'll see ya later.

-Bye.

'Amy? Please just come in.'

If you get dirt in that gum you're going to make it worse. Amy!

LOUD DANCE MUSIC

Fat Boy... Fat Boy!

Yo. Feeling the vibe, yeah?

Can you maybe hold off the heavier stuff till a bit later, yeah?

I can't. I've got a shift later.

Can you not do it at all then?

Come on, Rox, man, I've got a gig on Friday.

Amy!

Rox, I swear. Gimme two minutes, I'll be done.

Fine. Amy!

I know we've got a fair bit, but a woman gave me a call

about taking some of it so I have to tell her exactly how much there is.

-OK. Can I see some ID?

-Yeah, yeah. Of course.

Will that do?

-Thanks. Can you lock up when you're done.

-Yeah.

CLANGING

A little underweight. Though she was premature, wasn't she?

Three months.

-Is she feeding well?

-Yep.

-Breast milk?

-No.

So how are you two getting on?

Fine.

Can you pick her up for me?

She smile at you?

Sometimes.

She's probably ready for the next size up in nappies, I'd say.

Bigger nappies. Bigger nappies.

-Yeah. Is that it?

-That's it.

Lovely. Cheers. Thank you.

Don't forget your book.

He can't have shifted much from the stall last week.

Give him a chance. The deal's only just fallen through.

Something's not right.

I'll talk to you later, OK.

Mas? Talk to him.

I'll see you at home, AJ.

Hey. Been calling you all day.

Yeah, I know. Sorry. I've had her to look after.

-Can I get you a coffee? It's really good.

-No, no. I'm not going to stay.

-How's your head?

-Awful.

Yeah, well, you were lucky to get out when you did.

Zainab was just warming up. Last night was fun.

Listen, if you ever fancied it, I'm always up for a drink and a laugh.

And I know that you are. Hey? Guadeloupe.

Don't, don't.

Right.

Maybe it's better if we just...don't. Yeah?

Right.

I got her to look after, ain't I...?

-What's your name again?

-Samina.

-You new?

-To your case, yes.

What happened to the other lady?

That doesn't matter at the moment. Are you still working?

Yeah. When I have time.

-And you've been sticking to your curfew?

-Yeah, I have.

-OK, that's good.

-Your tag comes off next week so we don't want to jeopardise that.

-Yeah, if you're even here next week.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Lola, it's Syed.

Are you going to get that?

Um, nah. Don't worry. They'll go. This is more important.

-You were saying?

-Lola? I saw you go in there.

It's all right. Go on.

Sorry, I'll be two secs. Just stay there.

Lola, these are heavy!

All right, I'm coming, I'm coming!

Here you go. Two more boxes makes three.

-Yeah. Can you come back later?

-I'm here now, what's the difference?

-What's this, Lola?

-Nothing.

Sorry, I didn't realise... I'm making a delivery. Won't be long.

75 quid.

-Is that floor cleaner?

-D'you want some? I'll do you a good deal.

Why are you dropping it all off here?

Finally. Syed, can you can take that straight to the B&B, please?

-Sorry, what?

-Come on now, man, I can't carry all that, at my age.

Sorry, I ordered that for the B&B, and I arranged with Syed to

have it delivered here so I'd be around when you visit.

You know, but with tube closures and Ladbroke Grove all that way...

Anyhow, I'm here right now. How much I owe you, son?

75 quid.

75...

That's 80. Keep the change.

-Let's get back to it, shall we?

-Sorry, I'll be in shortly.

-And you are?

-My apologies. Trueman. Patrick Trueman.

Lola's responsible adult.

Samina.

Pleasure to meet you, me dear.

You go in, I'll be there. Syed, leave them outside the door of the B&B. OK?

Sure.

Everywhere today, Dad, aren't you?

Offloading more of that?

Well, it looks like it.

Thought you only had a few boxes left.

That's what this is, it's a few boxes.

Syed. You can tell me if there's anything's wrong.

I can help you.

Dad, there is nothing wrong. I've got to deliver these, and they're heavy. All right?

Peaches. Seven...seven kilograms.

Yeah. They're roomy. Bigger ones.

-Get the blue brand.

-Why?

-Cos they're softer in the gusset. Got less leakage.

Softer in the gusset. That's an interesting phrase.

It's made me feel moist and husky. Say it again.

Softer in the gusset.

Amy, Amy, leave it alone, you'll make it worse.

-You need ice for that.

-Huh?

Cos you freeze it off and then you can just comb it out.

How do you know that and I don't?

Cos I'm gay.

Yeah, you are.

Yes, he is.

Hi. Just got to grab some stuff for Syed.

-Just checking you're OK for cleaning stuff.

-I think we are, yeah.

Could do you a good deal.

Probably all right, mate.

Let me know if you change your mind. Yeah?

Syed. Come and have a coffee with me.

-I'm OK.

-Don't be silly. Two more lattes, Joey.

-You all right?

-Yeah. Just a bit busy.

-Doesn't that restaurant run itself?

-If you want to lose money, yeah.

-But we're expanding, I'm trying some new stuff, so...

-Sounds exciting.

It is exciting. It's a really exciting time for all of us.

Still enjoying it?

Yeah. I mean, teething problems.

But we got a new chef, couple of tough nights.

But other than that I love it.

-Hey, you figured out that cleaning product thing?

-What?

Oh. I don't know, just making conversation.

Masood said you had cleaning stuff to get rid of or something.

Yeah, I did.

Sorted, yeah?

Yeah. Look, Uncle AJ, I'm sorry. I'm really busy.

Sorry, boss, sorry, sorry. There was a lemonade spillage downstairs.

Had to get it all before it got all sticky and that.

I want to redecorate up here.

What? As in, like, completely?

Yep. And in here. I want it all gone. Everything. Especially that thing.

This is Kat and Alfie's home.

What will they say when they come back?

I don't care.

HE DIALS NUMBER ON MOBILE

Yeah, Boris? Syed Masood. Listen, I've changed my mind.

You can have that stock at the price we talked about if you can come

and get it today.

But we agreed. I'm taking a hiding on this as it is.

All right, get here as fast as you can. And bring a cheque.

Whoa, look at this, Amy. It's coming out. It's all coming out.

How clever is Michael, eh? Dinner wasn't bad either, was it?

Yep, that's my signature dish. Oriental noodles.

How fascinating. So tell me, Michael - how exactly did you make it?

Oh, I'm not going to give away my secrets.

20 minutes, 180?

Yeah. Yeah. We do what we can, don't we?

Yeah. We do. Right, would you like a story?

Go get a book from your bag.

Go on, off you go, gorgeous.

-How cute is that child?

-I know.

-That is the first proper dinner I've had in a month.

-No?

Last Saturday night - not proud of this -

last Saturday night I had two of those dirty old garlic breads

out the Minute Mart.

With what?

-Half a bottle of Scotch.

-Ha!

OK. Well, I made cupcakes for a thing at her daycare.

See, that's baking. That is the benchmark of quality parenting. I don't have baking skills.

But next day my lunch was leftover icing. It was rock solid.

I had to, like, chisel it off the edge of the bowl with a knife.

-You scumbag. How was it?

-Amazing.

D'you ever wonder if you've just made a pig's ear out of everything?

Are you joking? Hello?

Today, Michael - OK, one day, just one day in my life -

I have had Jack and that Mrs Masood woman, right,

call me a bad mother, a slapper and a filthy mess.

I know. You're thinking what I'm thinking.

It's the filthy mess bit, isn't it? Cos I look all right, don't I?

And, hold on a minute - I live with Fat Boy.

-How did it happen?

-I don't know.

What happened to us? What happened to us?

Because I look back, and I look at the decisions I've made,

and I thought they were the right ones.

So I'm either really rubbish at making decisions,

or I've just got bad luck.

I probably think a bit of both.

Have you heard from Janine?

No, no.

That's another cracking idea.

Well, nothing we can do about it now. We got little people to look after, haven't we?

I got you something.

What? What?

Nothing, just to say thanks for helping out.

Hand it over then.

Oh, dessert! Yes, nice one.

BABY CRIES

I'll get it, I'll get it. I'll go.

-Sure?

-Yeah.

Least I can do after you slaved away in the kitchen all day.

Fine woman, Rox.

Coming. Hold on.

What's this?

Just running my eye over the books.

Syed did that last week.

Can't hurt for someone else to take a look.

Dinner's here!

We can talk about this later. OK?

Tell you, Parvez has gone to town.

Oh, my goodness.

I think it's basically the entire menu. He wants us to know every dish backwards.

-Is this what we have to expect for the wedding?

-Don't start, Mum.

I thought we could do something better than the restaurant.

We can't afford better than the restaurant. You saw the catering quotes. Tamwar!

-What are the books doing here?

-Just wanted to have a look at them.

I can manage that.

It's no problem.

If you can follow them.

Well, there's a lot of expenses at the moment.

It's probably not an accurate reflection of the business

in the long term.

That's what I'm worried about.

Come on. We can talk about this after dinner. Let's go.

Tamwar!

You know what, Sharon?

I reckon this whole coffee thing's going to be all right.

Here.

What...?

Just hang onto them. Please.

-You all right?

-Yeah. I'm fine.

You know what, Syed - much better than the old chef.

He was a bit past it, I think.

Never had any complaints.

Superb little lamb chops.

There was nothing wrong with him, just a bit traditional.

Parvez is more modern, more in the direction we're going.

How much is it going to cost, this direction?

That's your problem, Dad. You've got no vision.

Making any money yet?

We will. Trust me.

Trust you. See, that's got me into trouble in the past.

-Masood.

-What about the cleaning products?

-What about them?

-All the cleaning products you're trying to sell. Must have cost a fortune.

What do you mean, "trying" to sell? He's already sold them.

Oh, right. Did he?

How would you know I haven't sold them?

Well, unless, of course, you'd seen them.

But how would you have seen them without breaking into my lock up?

-I was just checking, that's all.

-You didn't trust your own son?

Because he lied to me. Thousands of pounds' worth,

stacked up to the ceiling. And paid for out of what?

You said you'd get rid of them - and they're just sitting there, unsold.

Well, that's not strictly true.

That's a cleaning company in Angel. Taken the lot.

That's just the deposit. We'll make three grand in all.

Which I will put back into the restaurant.

There you go.

What do you think I've done now, Dad? Made it up?

Forged the cheque? Do you want to come with me now?

-We can go to Boris, we can meet him in Angel.

-Don't be silly.

Dad, why don't you check the books? Go on.

You won't find anything.

-You will.

-Tamwar.

There's a cheque missing.

I wrote it, I don't know when, or who to.

And I'm on top of it.

That's why I didn't want you to check the books. Because I knew you'd find that.

Are you happy now?

-I think you need to apologise to your son, Masood.

-Don't worry, Mum.

No, I think you need to apologise to him.

I'm sorry, Syed.

I'll never doubt you again.
