0:00:24 > 0:00:26DOORBELL RINGS PHIL: All right.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30DOORBELL RINGS I said, all right, didn't I?
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Phil. Lend us a tenner, will you?
0:00:43 > 0:00:46I couldn't lug this all the way from the High Street on Shank's Pony.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- What is it?- I'll explain later, just pay the man.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51I've got that social worker coming. I've got to get the house straight.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54What do you think this is all about, eh? Finishing touches.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Well, one of them anyway.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Yep. I'll have a couple of them, ta.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- And a couple of them ones.- Yellow roses?- Yellow, yeah.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- Listen, good luck today. - Luck? I don't need no luck.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Not if me and Pops have anything to do with it, anyway.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Yeah. And one of them.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Breakfast?
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Not that you've much in. What have you all been living on, air?
0:02:01 > 0:02:02I'm going to go to work.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Work? Where do you work? And on an empty stomach?
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Yeah, I got used to it.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I am sorry.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21All right, Masood? I am sorry.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Everything just happened at the same time and...
0:02:31 > 0:02:34..it was just a mess. I couldn't think straight.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- I shouldn't left like that... - Or taken Kamil.- You told me to go!
0:02:43 > 0:02:44You said we were over.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47You said it was over.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50And do you think any of us were thinking clearly that day?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53You didn't ask me to stay.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I was out there, missing the whole family...
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- We needed you here. - It didn't look like it last night.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Certainly didn't look like anyone was missing me last night.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06You all seemed to be having a great old time.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Why don't you ask Syed how good a time he's been having lately?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Why? What's happened?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Masood, what's happened?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Never fails, does it?
0:03:21 > 0:03:22The magic word?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Syed.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Just look at you.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34- Well? - Don't even ask.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Tam! Has she talked about what happened? What I did?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42No, actually.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44So far all we've had is, "You haven't much in.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46"What have you been surviving on?"
0:03:47 > 0:03:52It's like nothing's happened - it's like she's never been away.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53That's what it feels like.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Does she ever actually think before she opens her mouth?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Syed?
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Christian came round last night.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Right. Is he moving back in?
0:04:09 > 0:04:10He asked me why he should.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13And you said...?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I told him Yasmin was missing him.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Sorry, you said what?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20I didn't mean it to come out like that.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23What? You didn't think before you opened your mouth either?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25You're both exactly the same as each other.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Maybe you should just move in together, both of you,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29you and Mum, give the rest of us a break.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Three bacon sarnies to go. Quick as you can, yeah?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Got three builders back at the B&B with their tongues hanging out
0:04:38 > 0:04:40and my cooker's gone and died, innit?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Not the only thing that's died, the way this lot's going on.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- Lucy?- Environmental Health. They made a visit a few weeks back.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Oh?- Went through the place with a fine toothcomb.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52And they didn't find anything.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56But that doesn't stop them sending us all these guidelines and stuff.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58So they didn't, um, give any warning at all?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00No. They never do.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02And if they don't like what they see, that's it,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04you get the book thrown at you.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- All right, Kim? - Where'd she go?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Dunno. She couldn't get out of here quick enough. Coffee, please.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Steady, steady, where's the fire? - Sorry. Emergency at home.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- What do you think of this, Phil? - DOORBELL RINGS
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Like Piccadilly Circus here this morning.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32- KNOCK ON DOOR - Phil?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34All right, all right, I'm coming!
0:05:34 > 0:05:36DOORBELL RINGS
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Hold these.- Do what? - Hold them, I dropped some.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47First it's like Piccadilly Circus, now it's like Columbia Road market.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Oh, shush, go and get them in some water.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Who are they for?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Well, they ain't for you.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Well, come on then!
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- Oh yeah, nice one, Pop. - Lovely whiff, innit, eh? See, Phil.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Smell of baking bread, makes a house feel all welcoming.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Lola read an article about it last night, didn't you, babe?- Yep.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12And with a few of them flowers dotted around the place...
0:06:12 > 0:06:15It smells like the inside of a docks brothel in here.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17We'll have to bow to your superior knowledge on that one.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Oi. Phil's been doing his bit.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Look at this place - wonder he ain't gone down with housemaid's knee.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Suppose it don't look like the usual pigsty in here.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- This is important, you know, Phil. - Yes. Yeah I know it is.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Thought you might say that.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38That's why me and Pops have billed everything to you.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Well, we can't afford it, can we?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Ooh. Oh look, Pops, he looks like a bullfrog, don't he?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46The way his eyes just bulge out of his head
0:06:46 > 0:06:49when he gets a little bit angry.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Hope Lexi don't turn out like you. - You finished?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Yes. But you ain't. Get yourself down the caff.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I know I'm the probably the last person he wants to see right now...
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Probably?- But I really, really want to see him.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Not here you won't. - Don't be like this, Rox.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Christian's not with me! - He's not left the Square?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10The mood he was in, I wouldn't bet against it, Syed.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12DRUM 'N' BASS MUSIC BLARES
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Much more of that and I might join him.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Look. I saw him this morning. He's with Lucy, all right?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- I've gotta go. - Rox, I really, really am sorry.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Oh, for what? Or is the list too long?
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Don't tell me, let's see - lying? Your stupid scams?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Or Danny perhaps? What do you want, Syed?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Because Christian doesn't know, and he doesn't reckon you do either.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39So until you've worked that out, leave him alone.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Give us half a dozen iced buns, will ya?- What, no fairy cakes?
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Just stick 'em in a bag, yeah?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Sharon's on her way over.- Right.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Yeah. Looking a million dollars she is too.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Hair's done, new clothes... nice new ring.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- I don't want no trouble. - No, course not.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Just one mate helping out another, right?- Right.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10A game.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Sort of.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Just like that ring, ain't it? Fake.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28So is it final? You and Christian?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I've just heard all about it from your father.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Yes. He's moved out.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Well, you can't let him.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38You have to fight for him. You have to refuse to let him go.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Syed, you cannot give up like this.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42So that's it?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44What?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47After everything I've done. The business? Is all that forgotten?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50No, of course not. Why do you think I left?
0:08:55 > 0:08:56I was disappointed.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02But that is all in the past, OK? Christian is the here and now, Syed.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07I hate seeing you like this, I really do...
0:09:09 > 0:09:10So that's it?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13What?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17This. It's all about you, it's how you feel.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- No, I am just trying to help. - Interfere, you mean?- Syed...
0:09:20 > 0:09:23You don't know anything, Mum.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25You weren't even here while it was all going on.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26All what?
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Just back off.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Do you think we've done enough?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- We couldn't have done any more, could we?- What if it all goes wrong?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- It won't.- What if they say...?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Lola, it won't. All right? Just gotta play the waiting game now.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Eh?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Look like you're off to meet the Queen.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Well, this place has scrubs up well, too.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Not the usual pigsty? Lola. - Charming.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Listen, there's been a slight change of plan.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I spoke to Social Services last night. They reckon there's more
0:10:09 > 0:10:12chance with a fostering rather than a residency application.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15What? Well, thanks for telling me, Phil.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I'm telling you now...Sharon, please, don't go into one of your moods.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21This is my granddaughter we're talking about.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I mean, if this bloke says no...if I don't get this right...
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- DOORBELL RINGS - He won't. And you will.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Not if you don't let him in, though.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I thought I should come and say hello, properly.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Welcome home.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53And to apologise for leaving you short-staffed like that. Tamwar,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56why are you wearing that?
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Why do you think?
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- This is where you're working? - Doing well he is, too.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Taken to it like a duck to water.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I can see someone has a little something to learn.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10I think you'll find those things there, they go on the middle shelf.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11- Not any more. - Since when?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Since Tamwar suggested it'd make a much more eye-catching
0:11:14 > 0:11:16display over there and I agreed.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19In fact, it's just one of the few improvements that
0:11:19 > 0:11:21old Tamwar's made in here.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Yeah, but they've always gone there,
0:11:23 > 0:11:25that's how the customer knows where to find them.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28OK, Mum, and now they don't go there.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Now things have changed, things aren't how they used to be.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Ring any bells?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44OK, just to explain what I'm sure you already know,
0:11:44 > 0:11:49I'm Rick Gekowski, a Fostering Assessment Social Worker
0:11:49 > 0:11:51appointed by Walford Local Authority.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53And I'm here because you've agreed to be added to the care
0:11:53 > 0:11:55plan for Lexi?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Yeah, well, we decided to follow Trish's advice.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00We believe this has the potential to work out best for Lexi.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03So any questions so far?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Cake?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10To be honest, Phil, if I ate all the cake I'm offered on these
0:12:10 > 0:12:12sort of house visits, I'd be the size of a house myself.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Just trying to make an effort. - Yeah. Yeah. I know.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Which is a lot better than not making any at all.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I see that too many times as well.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- They hate me. All of them. - Of course they don't.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Don't patronise me, Denise.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Why shouldn't they?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35It was wrong of me to run off like that, wasn't it?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40It was selfish.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45It was craven. It was cowardly.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Sorry, was I supposed to say, "No it wasn't?"
0:12:50 > 0:12:52All I've done since I've come back,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54is I've told everybody what they're doing is wrong.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- That's just you, though. - Interfering. All the time.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59But they know you don't mean anything by it.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Tamwar was right, you know? What he said.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I can't just come back and expect to pick up where I left off.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08You can't change who you are, Zee.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Can't I?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18OK, so the first item on the check-list -
0:13:18 > 0:13:19why do you want to care for Lexi?
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Cos she's my...
0:13:23 > 0:13:25..flesh and blood - it's only natural, ain't it?
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- She's not your flesh and blood though, Sharon.- No.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33But for richer or poorer, better or worse...
0:13:33 > 0:13:36not that having Lexi would make things worse...
0:13:38 > 0:13:40All part of marriage, isn't it?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Yeah.- Taking on each other's burdens.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Lexi ain't a burden. You know, where we come from it's simple -
0:13:47 > 0:13:50never turn your back on your own.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Sounds like a good place where you come from.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57And the mother?
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Lola?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02She'll be involved in all this too, will she?
0:14:02 > 0:14:03That depends.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05On what?
0:14:05 > 0:14:06On her.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09On you. You say, involve her, we'll involve her.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13You say don't, then we'll take your advice.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16And what do you say?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I mean, forget us, forget our advice -
0:14:21 > 0:14:23how do you feel about all that?
0:14:27 > 0:14:28I say involve her.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Nice to know we're in total agreement.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39OK, so next I'd like to ask about your other children.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Here we are. Look, there's a slide.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Go on, off you go.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Hey.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56No Christian today?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59No.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Holding the fort, are you? - It's no hardship, is it?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04You know, it's weird.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06What is?
0:15:06 > 0:15:11You look at them sometimes and you think, "I'm in prison."
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Then something happens and you think,
0:15:12 > 0:15:16"That's exactly where I want to be."
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Throw away the key.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26You're bringing a child of your own into this marriage, Sharon?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Denny. Yeah.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29And Denny's father?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33He was killed. A few years ago.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37He got on the wrong side of a nutter.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- That can't have been easy. - No. It was hell.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Didn't think I'd ever get out from under it.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Well, maybe I wouldn't if it hadn't been for Denny.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Your son's older, of course, isn't he, Phil?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Yeah.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57And how do you feel about him, Sharon?
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Well, how do you mean?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Phil's son's up on a murder charge.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04It's manslaughter.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06A charge he's pleaded guilty to.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Your former husband was murdered.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Well, it's like you said, Ben's already pleaded guilty,
0:16:15 > 0:16:17so he won't be around for a bit.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20So let's not think about it then?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23No. It's just not an issue with us, that's all.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25It's going to become an issue though, isn't it?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I mean forgive me, Phil, if this sounds harsh,
0:16:29 > 0:16:33but even if Ben goes down for ten years, she'll hardly be
0:16:33 > 0:16:35a grown woman...
0:16:36 > 0:16:38..and if there are any tensions in the house...
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Of course it's something we're going to have to deal with, I know that.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44But what happened to my husband
0:16:44 > 0:16:47really was just down to a nutter, plain and simple.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Well, what Ben did, it wasn't the same.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Before you ask, it wasn't Phil's fault either.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Phil's only looked after him for the past couple of years.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05When Ben came to this country he was
0:17:05 > 0:17:09already a frightened, and confused kid...
0:17:09 > 0:17:10a damaged kid.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14But Phil did his best, didn't you, darling?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16The damage had already been done?
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Yeah.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22And it couldn't be undone?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Let me try and explain it a bit better...
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Actually, Phil, I'd rather you did. I mean, this is your son we're
0:17:30 > 0:17:32talking about and you're really not saying very much at all.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Just going to get some more coffee.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44Won't be a sec.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Phil?
0:17:50 > 0:17:54You heard him. What's the point? He's already made his mind up.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- No, he hasn't. - All them questions?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Look, he's asking the sort of questions he's paid to ask,
0:17:59 > 0:18:03the sort of questions anyone has to ask in his position.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08There's a lot at stake here. A little girl's whole future.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Could see it in his eyes.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Leave the kid with a chancer like that? Yeah, yeah, right.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16He's just doing his job, Phil, like you should be doing right now.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19You're a grandfather and you have rights.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Now, start acting like one and get in there and fight for them.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24And what if he's right?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26What?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29What if I shouldn't be left to look after her?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31You said it yourself, didn't you?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33There's a kid's whole future at stake.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Look what happened to the last one.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Doesn't mean Lexi'll turn out the same.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Fair bet something bad is going to happen, ain't it?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Look at my track record. It's not just Ben, is it?
0:18:42 > 0:18:43It's Lou as well.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45So you don't even try.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48What kind of future is she going to have, then?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Is everything OK?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Yeah, yeah, course, we were just coming back.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Is there anything that either of you two want to tell me?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Look - Phil, Sharon, this is only going to work
0:19:17 > 0:19:19if you're both completely honest with me.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Yeah, let's be honest, shall we? - Yeah. Let's.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28We're both feeling that we're not quite what you're looking for.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32We're both feeling like you're expecting someone else.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35So let's put this on the line, shall we?
0:19:37 > 0:19:41What exactly are you expecting? Perfect parents?
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Well, we ain't that.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47What do you want? People who've never made a mistake?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49We're not that either.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Who were you hoping to meet?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54People who've never screwed up? Well, go somewhere else.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58So that's what we're not.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01But what we are, is us.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06And as far as kids are concerned, we'd go to the ends of the earth for them.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Will we make mistakes? Yeah. Yeah.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Probably. Could we do things better from time to time?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Almost definitely.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Will we mess up now and again like every other parent in the world?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Then take us out and shoot us.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24So who else were you hoping to meet?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Hallelujah, it speaks.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30I thought you'd taken a vow of silence or something.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Someone who'd let you get a word in edgeways?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Cos you won't find that here either.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Oh, hark at him. The original motormouth most of the time.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38See what I mean?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41The only man who opens his big gob to put his size tens in it.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46But listen, no-one will ever, ever harm our kids...
0:20:46 > 0:20:49..and there's no parent in the world who could love them more.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Now if that's not enough, I suggest you take your files,
0:20:52 > 0:20:56and your case notes, and your questions...
0:20:57 > 0:21:00..and, well, you stick 'em where the sun don't shine.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Sure you don't want some cake?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Christian, I've been leaving messages all morning.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Please call me.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43I've been doing some thinking - a lot of thinking
0:21:43 > 0:21:45about me and you...
0:21:46 > 0:21:47..and Yasmin...
0:21:47 > 0:21:49BUZZER
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Amira.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Hi.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05How'd it go?
0:22:05 > 0:22:06I don't know.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09And what's this I'm hearing about fostering all of a sudden?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Yeah, Pops heard from the Social.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Lola, look, it's the best chance we've got,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16it doesn't change anything, you know?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18You're still Lexi's mum.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20He hasn't said anything?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22What's he doing now then?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25He wanted to go through Phil's businesses.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- I know him. - What?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Yeah. He worked on a couple of child protection cases I was involved in.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Oh. Is that right?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- Oh no...- Jack, just a quick word?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- No.- Please? And find out what he's thinking.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45That won't be very professional, will it?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Yeah, but you're not a professional. Any more.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19So are you working round here?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Yeah. Just been to see Phil Mitchell and Sharon Rickman.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Do you know them?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I've seen them around, yeah.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Phil owns this place, doesn't he?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Yeah. I don't really come in here that much.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- So you don't know much about them then?- Such as?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36You know? What they're like? are they well suited...?
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Yeah, yeah, I think so...
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Nice try, Jack.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45I saw Sharon talking to you not five minutes ago.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- I can guess what about too. - Ah.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- She's a resourceful lady. - Yeah, she is.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Then again, sounds like she's had to be.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I can't give you any inside track, you know that.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01That's fair enough.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04But for what it's worth, I agree.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07I think they're well suited too.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Thank you.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15For...?
0:24:15 > 0:24:20For agreeing to sit down with me and to listen to what I have to say.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21I'm very grateful.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Great. So where's Mum?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- What?- I think she's been abducted by aliens,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29and they've sent an imposter in her place.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Tamwar!- That's more like it.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39I have acted very badly.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Not just in going away, but also since I've come back.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45But all of that is going to change...
0:24:46 > 0:24:51..because from now on I am going to change.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Ah. And where've we heard that before?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57From now on there will be no more...
0:24:57 > 0:25:00meddling, interfering...
0:25:00 > 0:25:02secrets...
0:25:02 > 0:25:04nagging...
0:25:04 > 0:25:06judging...
0:25:06 > 0:25:09complaining and definitely no more taking sides.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12That is my promise to you.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14That is my pact.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Well, say something.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Masood?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Dream on.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43All done?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Just getting Sharon a drink to say thanks.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49That is OK, ain't it?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Wouldn't want you getting the wrong idea.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54No chance.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Well, no need is there? It's like you said -
0:25:56 > 0:25:58it's all fake.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17You should have called.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21You could have taken Yasmin out for the day, spent some time with her.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25You know, proper family time.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Actually, it's family I wanted to talk to you about.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31I'm, um...
0:26:33 > 0:26:35..I'm getting married again.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39I met someone whilst I was away. I know it's a bit of a whirlwind,
0:26:39 > 0:26:40but...
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- You're happy.- Very.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Well, I'm pleased.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- The thing is, my fiance... - He doesn't know about Yasmin?
0:26:48 > 0:26:49No, he knows about her...
0:26:49 > 0:26:52If it's difficult you can take things slowly,
0:26:52 > 0:26:53build up contact gradually.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55He lives in Birmingham.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58He wants us to be a family, Syed.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01A proper family. Right from the start and so do I.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07We want to be together.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Him, me...
0:27:10 > 0:27:11..and Yasmin.
