DOOR SHUTS

-NEXT ROOM:

-I think I can manage.

Just make sure everyone knows, all right? OK. That's just your job.

-That's all I'm saying. Hey! Bonfire night...sorted.

-Fireworks?

Yeah. Best Jake on the market had to offer.

Going to let them go off in the gardens soon as it gets dark.

What did they cost?

I'm going to fix him up next week. Ooh!

-We can afford it.

-That's the mortgage money.

Well, actually, that's a long way off the mortgage money.

Did you know it was due this Wednesday?

£493.50 which we don't have.

I'm getting paid tomorrow so you can count on that.

I don't get paid for a while, unfortunately, but...

lucky coin.

-Hasn't failed me yet.

-OK. I think we might need a little more than that.

-Something'll turn up.

-No, AJ!

That's what people who don't pay bills think, "something will turn up."

People who sink £500 into a motorbike.

You know, the only reason that something turns up

is cos people like me do something about it.

I'm telling you, after this, you will not even know yourself.

You know I'm pretty happy with the instant.

I will ignore that remark because you are my best friend.

MOBILE RINGS

RINGING STOPS Christian, come on. You're going to have to talk to him sometime.

He's your husband. You've got a little girl to look after.

SHE SIGHS

Fine.

-Better, ain't it?

-Mmmmm.

It's amazing.

I guess you can stay a few more nights.

Coffee did it for you, didn't it?

You can stay as long as you like, actually.

MUSIC BLARES Oh, you're kidding me. Fat Boy!

Kim?

-Kim?

-Up here!

-Have you had the fridge looked at?

-What?

-Have you had the fridge looked at?

-Can't hear you!

-Have you had the fridge...

-Huh?

-QUIETLY:

-I know you can hear me.

What, Denise?

Doesn't matter.

Denise?

DOOR SHUTS

Dee?

SHE SIGHS

Mate...

That's it. I know you got more than that, babe. Come on. Come on.

Put some backbone into it. That's it. Knees...

All right. We'll leave it there. I'll put you in the beginners' class

-which starts tomorrow night. All right? OK. Who's next?

-Me.

All right. Off we go.

Um, will I be OK in this or shall I, um, take it off?

No, no. We're going to be working pretty hard.

See this?

What?

What a girl will do if she likes someone. It's tragic really.

It's not tragic.

You like someone, you do what you have to.

That's easy for you to say.

You've done what you have to do. You've got Syed.

Let's not talk about Sy.

Something wrong?

-Get on the bag.

-Christian...

Bag.

What sort of jobs?

Anything, really. Maintenance, shelves...

I can do electrics.

I can help with plumbing if you need it.

Not sure that we do. Oh, here she is.

-Thought you were off today?

-I knew it. I knew you were avoiding me.

Not avoiding you. You're not supposed to be here.

Well, Tamwar had to duck out with AJ. What have you got to say...

about this? It's practically growing in there.

How is that my fault?

-Because that fridge is dodgy and everything in it is past its date.

-I can have a look at it if you like.

This is the thing with Denise. Negativity.

You sniff that. Tell me it's not rotten.

-Tell me I'm being negative.

-Nothing but negativity!

Oh shut up, idiot.

Sorry. Is there anything else...?

-If she finds out that I sold you...

-Well, she's not here.

-Have you heard from her?

-No.

That's why you have such trouble with husbands.

Let me know if I can help with anything.

Because it's all criticisms with you all day, innit.

I mean, where's the love, Denise?

SHARON GIGGLES

Woo. That was a great weekend.

-I can hardly walk.

-Tell me about it.

-No hills like that in London, is there?

-Oh! Me bum!

-HE LAUGHS

-All right?

-Yeah.

-All right?

-Good weekend?

-Yeah. It was lovely.

I'm going to book you in a massage.

We've got the social worker coming tomorrow

to go through Lexi's care plan. Need to get our story straight.

Go on.

-You sure?

-Yeah. It's got to be done. Where you doing it? In the pub?

-You don't need to come, Jack. It's fine.

-No, I'll come.

I'll just pack the bags away. I'll be there, yeah?

So the plan is to get the local kids in here, teach them how to box.

Give them a bit of self-respect, you know. Teach them a bit of pride.

Sounds like an amazing programme.

Yeah, well, if it works, it will be.

OK. Let's have a crack at the bag, all right?

-Thanks, guys.

-Yeah, no worries.

She's not even subtle about it.

Some girls are so pathetic.

It's, er...

It's not just some girls.

"Please come home." What? Can't he go an hour without you?

Been a bit longer than that.

I've moved out.

What?! You've only been married, like, three weeks?

You do what you have to.

Christian...

It's for the best.

-You know you're always welcome at ours.

-Thanks.

What about Yasmin?

Hopefully, we'll amicably find a way I can have her in my life.

It's for the best, Luce.

She doesn't need unhappy parents.

You guys can survive him getting married to a woman

and having her baby and it's for the best?

-Yeah, well, some things are non-negotiable.

-Like what?

Like telling your husband you love him.

What? And he doesn't do that?

No.

Not for a while now.

You know I don't have it, Dad.

Well, I was hoping that you might be able to get it.

I mean...

a loan...

a job even. Anything. I wouldn't come to you if I...

-..if I didn't really, really need it.

-I'm sorry.

I've got the rent to find for next week. I don't know

-if Christian's going to pay his half.

-Why wouldn't he?

He's moved out.

What?

Couple of days ago.

Danny!

Dad, we... We just didn't think we could make it work.

After everything you two have been through, you didn't think you could

-make it work? Are you joking?!

-What do you want me to do?

What do I... I want you to try, Syed!

-I did try.

-Well, try harder!

Try for ever. What's the point of getting married

if you're going to let it fall apart in three weeks?

What's the point of a wedding? All that money...

-Money? Is that all you can see?

-Well, it's really not a marriage, is it?

That's what it was supposed to be. With all you spent,

I thought at least you'd end up with a husband if nothing else.

Is there anything - anything - in your life, Syed,

anything at all that you haven't made a complete mess of?

I think you should probably leave.

I suppose I'll say something like...we share

a sense of responsibility towards Lexi.

And we want to make sure that she grows up

with plenty of opportunities that a lot of kids round here don't have.

-That's good stuff.

-And she's very gorgeous.

We're both very fond of her.

As we are of each other.

Been through a lot together, haven't we?

And obviously, we want Lexi to be a part of our lives together.

And you've got two kids already, that's right, isn't it, Phil?

What's your problem?

Well, they're going to ask that.

-Let's start with Ben. I mean, what's he been up to recently, eh?

-Jack!

Over here, mate.

Well, good luck with that one.

Sorry.

No, he's right.

What do I say? He's... He's banged up inside for manslaughter?

-They know all that.

-They're not going to buy it.

-Phil, they will.

-No, he's right. We've got to work harder.

-Well, how?

Come outside for a sec, will you?

Won't be a minute, babes.

What's all that about?

Don't really want to talk about it.

You're right. Probably nothing.

Nothing to worry about anyway. Don't have any history, do they?

-Are you having a laugh?

-Please.

No. No. Absolutely not.

No!

She's my granddaughter.

-This is the only way, Sharon.

-This is not the only way.

It's the best way I can think of.

-You don't have to wear it all the time.

-That's right, is it?

Just for the meeting.

Just for the meeting.

Try it on then, yeah?

It fits.

This is it, boys. Day one of a new beginning.

-You all right?

-Hey, babe.

Glass of cava for you?

-OK. Why not?

-Right, who's paying for this?

-He is.

So, listen, babe, you know the money I was trying to get for Fighting Fit,

-the new boxing programme?

-Yeah?

-It just came in.

Really?

Few quid in the bank, pay off the first set of invoices.

Then we got a couple of local kids that want to join the gym,

then we launch in a couple of weeks, right?

Yeah. Can't wait, can we, eh? Long as them cheques keep rolling in.

Sean was a terrible sleeper.

What a surprise.

I ended up sleeping on the floor of his bedroom,

flat on the carpet, and eventually he'd nod off.

With Stacey, I put teething gel on her dummy.

-So you drugged her?

-No!

Everyone used to do that.

-Why didn't you bring the mattress in?

-What?

-With Sean.

Why didn't you put the mattress on the floor and go to sleep on it?

No idea.

GLASS SHATTERS Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. It's all right, it's all right. Don't panic.

Kat. I got it, all right? Why don't you go upstairs,

-have a bit of a rest? Go on.

-I can't. What if Tommy wakes up?

-And it's bonfire night...

-Kat seriously, sweetheart.

We can't keep going on like this.

Look at you. You're exhausted. You've not smiled for weeks.

Just go upstairs and have a rest. Go on, yeah? Go on. That's my girl.

BABY CRIES

Listen. He's just tired, all right? Remember what we said.

-Yep. Stick to the plan.

-Yes.

-Let him cry if we have to.

Short-term pain...

-Long-term gain.

-Go on, go. That's my girl. Go on.

TELEPHONE RINGS

'This is Zainab. Hurry up and leave a message after the beep.'

HORN BEEPS

ENGINE REVS

HORN BEEPS AGAIN

KNOCKING ON DOOR

ENGINE REVS AND HORN BEEPS

Turn it off.

Turn it off!

I thought you were getting rid of that.

-I am. Comfy, Tam?

-No.

-He loves it.

Can you just tell him what this is all about cos I can't feel my bum?

Sold it. That's a chunk there for the mortgage. 500 quid. The rest

on delivery and that'll take care of expenses. I told you

something would turn up.

-I don't know what to say.

-Who cares what you say?

We've got a crate of fireworks and a car load of dancing girls.

And when it gets dark, they are both kicking off.

Sorry, a car load of...?

HORN BEEPS

Preeti, Dani, Sophie, and...

Dani. You can change in there, girls.

Are you mad? What do we need dancing girls for?! Hello.

Hi. Masood.

-Hello. Masood. Hello.

-Hello.

-Hi. Welcome.

Friends of mine.

Lovely girls. Sophie's got a PhD in...astrophysics.

I don't know what just happened there.

Or astronomy, maybe.

-WHISPERS:

-Turn it over. Other way. This way.

Kat, you promised, darling.

-He's wide awake. Look at him. What's wrong with us?

-Nothing.

He's not a baby any more. He should be sleeping.

He will.

You can't keep saying that. We've got to do something about this.

Come here. Come on. Right.

-I want you to get a duvet.

-Why?

-If we're going to be up all night,

-we might as well enjoy ourselves.

-No.

Yes. Kat, listen, this is a miserable room at the moment.

I can barely keep me eyes open. You're getting teary and grumpy.

We need to make this a happy room. Right?

Don't we? Yes. Happy room, eh, Tommy?

How are you?

I'm fine.

-You still staying at Roxy's?

-Not any more, no.

So where?

Doesn't matter.

Went to make coffee this morning...

The pot's gone.

Yeah, well, it does belong to me.

Yeah, I know, but...

..little things.

Busy day?

Just at the gym.

I was at the gym, you can ask Lucy, cos I'm not like you.

-You going to throw that into every conversation from now on?

-Yeah.

-Do you think that's fair?

-Yes, I do.

I want us to work.

I want us to try.

I think Daddy wants a cuddle.

You go give him a big cuddle.

Hey.

You know how easy it is to be with somebody else?

You see that guy sat opposite you on the tube, he gives you that look

and you could be off at the next stop. But I don't do that.

When I get that look, I don't do that.

Because I think about how much I love you

and how much it would hurt you. THAT is what trying is.

I made a mistake.

I'm trying to fix it.

And how you going to do that exactly?

By having you here.

By you coming home.

Please?

It hasn't been an easy time for me.

I know it's not been easy for you but...

-..we just want you home.

-Why?

Why would I do that?

Because...

..Yasmin loves you.

Look at her.

Daddy.

She misses her Daddy Christian, don't you?

Come home.

DOOR SHUTS

-Mmmm.

-Hey.

-Perfect. Just finishing. So this is what we're going to do...

-We're going to have a bit of dinner...

-Yeah.

-Then we're going

-to take Dennis to the fireworks.

-I don't fancy going all the way to Victoria Park.

-No, it ain't there. Masood's brother's got some, apparently.

-Oh!

Oh, and I booked a massage for Wednesday morning.

-So I'm going to powder my nose. Will you keep stirring that?

-'Course.

What's that?

I'm sorry.

What is it?

It's an engagement ring.

Yeah, I know that, but why are you wearing it?

It was Phil's idea.

Oh! I bet it flaming is!

No. We have to make it look like we're engaged

or they won't take us seriously.

Oh, Jack. Come on, he's desperate.

All right. Well, take it off.

I can't.

-What?

-It's stuck.

It was fine when he put it on but...

Oh, he put it on, did he?

Look, my fingers are swollen. I'll take it off in the morning.

No. Come here.

You're not going to bed with me wearing that.

Oh, will you shut up!

This is serious, Jack.

It's his granddaughter. Don't you understand that?

Lexi's Phil's family and if we don't get it right, they'll take her away.

If you don't get over all this "I'm bigger and stronger" rubbish

and act like a grown-up,

then you won't be having me in your bed for quite some time.

HE COUGHS

If this doesn't get it off, I'll cut that finger off, all right?

There you go. Enjoy. >

Here, Ray, do us a favour, mate.

Grab us a bottle of whisky? The good stuff under the pump.

What for?

Oh. Medicinal purposes only.

Listen, you and Trace all right to hold the fort for me?

On bonfire night?

You the man!

-Alfie!

-Yes, love!

Are you coming to see the fireworks?

Yes, I am, darling. Do us a favour.

Get out there, get us a good spot and I'll bring you out a glass, yeah?

Lovely.

Right.

The last you saw me, I was heading out looking for her.

All right. Later on.

You coming?

Yeah.

FIREWORKS EXPLODING

LAUGHTER AND TALKING IN BACKGROUND

ARABIAN MUSIC STARTS

INDISTINCT BUSTLE AND LAUGHTER

Fantastic. Unbelievable!

Better being up here than stuck out in the cold, eh?

Mmm. It's much better.

Guy Fawkes, eh?

Guy flaming Fawkes!

I mean, think about it, right, Kat,

why would anybody not want to be English?

OK, apart from the beaches, and the weather

and all that holiday stuff.

But we got it right here, ain't we? This is lovely.

Dark, cold...

and all cosied up here like this.

Yeah, it's like, we're a nation of writers and dreamers

and dragons, ain't we?

Yeah. From Shakespeare to the Jam. Bobby Moore to...

people who like to blow things up like that Guy Fawkes bloke.

Mental!

Oh, wow.

Kat, would you believe it? Tommy's fast asleep.

FIREWORKS SCREAM OUTSIDE

KNOCKS AT DOOR

All I can offer is killer coffee.

Pretty good, ain't it?

Pretty good? They're fantastic!

Kamil would go crazy. He loves fireworks!

Look, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, to all of you.

Syed, I was really out of line today.

You do whatever you have to do. I will support you, whatever.

AJ? You saved us!

You see that house? You saved it.

Tamwar. Tam. You're just the best boy!

I've been a nightmare, haven't I?

Yeah...

OK!

All right. Boys together. Masood boys. Yeah?

And that...belongs to you.

Turns out it WAS good luck.

Yeah!

Come on, bring it! >
