0:00:25 > 0:00:28- Tanya. Just wait. Just wait! - The school's in Dalston.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30If we get a move on, we should be there in time.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32She's a deputy head.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- Going to be a busy woman. - I don't want any part of this.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Oh, right, now you decide you don't want to be a part of this. Yeah?
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Well, sorry, Patrick, but it's you she trusted. Right?
0:00:42 > 0:00:46- You she confided in. Not me.- This should be your mother's decision.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50My mother lied to me, Patrick, she told me my own sister was dead!
0:00:50 > 0:00:51You think that deserves respect?
0:00:51 > 0:00:54You want the whole Square to know your business?
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Look, Tanya, wait.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Hey.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28There's a woman out there who's been brought up without her family.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Me and Rainie have gone our whole lives
0:01:30 > 0:01:33not even knowing we had another sister.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35The damage has already been done. I have to go.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39No. You don't.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53What are you thinking?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57You don't want to know.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04Look, Lauren, what happened, it...
0:02:06 > 0:02:10..it was different. You know.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Special.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24You can't even look at me now.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35I think you should go.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37No, no...
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Can you just go, please? Just get out.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43OK.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Patrick, do you think I'm enjoying this?
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Do you think I'm not petrified that she might hate me,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03she might reject all of us?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I mean, she's a deputy head.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06At least she'll have had a choice.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09A choice my mother took away from her.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Please!
0:03:15 > 0:03:20I can't let you go on your own. Get in. Let's drive.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I can't find my other trainer.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48Alice, angel, when you asked me what soup I want, what did I say?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Anything but mullita... - Mulligatawny.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Mulligatawny or oxtail. - Yeah. So what's this?
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- French onion.- It's disgusting. - My trainer?
0:03:57 > 0:03:58DOORBELL RINGS
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Oh, don't worry, Dad! I'll get it.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03French onion soup!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Since when do the French know anything about food?
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Alice, you got five minutes? Thought we could go to the caff.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Now.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18OK.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Ignore him.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26He doesn't like his soup.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Right. Let's go.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Yeah, that's it. You go off.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Have a good laugh about me.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Why don't you come and watch me practise?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Ray says you're more than welcome. You can see what it's all about.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I know what it's all about! And it's not ladylike.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46You are going to wash that up, aren't you? See you!
0:04:48 > 0:04:53There you are! I've called you, like, at least a dozen times.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Yeah. Sorry Pops, man.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I've had to, you know, keep my line clear.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00For Sylvia? How did it go?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Well, she took my number, so we'll see.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Well, look at you.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07What red-blooded woman could say no to that, eh?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10But I suppose it is only my superior makeover skills
0:05:10 > 0:05:13that could make you look this hot, right?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- So she took your number. Yeah? - Mm-hmm.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Well, that's great. Um, but did she give you her number?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Well, yeah.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26So, Pops, listen.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30How long till I'm allowed to give her a call?
0:05:31 > 0:05:37Come on, what is it? Is it family, money, a boy?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Two out of three.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45You met someone?
0:05:51 > 0:05:52You ready to talk holidays?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You've been caught, haven't you?
0:06:04 > 0:06:08You've done something dodgy, you've been caught
0:06:08 > 0:06:09and don't know how to tell me.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I'd rather know the truth.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I'll only worry.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19It's me who should be worried, Alice, about you.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Living with Derek. I won't always be around.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25You're not moving on?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Dunno what I'm doing.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I'll talk to Dad again.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35No. no. Alice, look, let's just get to the gym, eh?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Still can't believe you can floor a bloke.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46All right?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48All right?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Shame I'm not working today, I'm much fussier about my customers.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Yeah, you should have someone on the doors, keep all the scumbags out.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Bye, Joey!
0:07:05 > 0:07:09You know, Lucy, I can understand, but I thought we were family!
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- You glad he's going?- What?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14You might not care about him, but that's my brother you've driven away.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I wasn't interested in the type of workout
0:07:24 > 0:07:26she was offering, all right?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I had to practically tell her I was gay, just to get her to get off me!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Oh, so, what, she took one look at your biceps
0:07:31 > 0:07:34and forgot she was here doing an Health and Safety inspection?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Mate, mate, mate. Listen, all I can say is, you know,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40sometimes they don't always go for the empty-headed pretty boy.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- HE LAUGHS - Pretty? Did you just call me pretty?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Wonder what she'd think if she heard you talk about her like that.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Who?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Not really the place for young ladies, is it?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53We talking about Alice?
0:07:53 > 0:07:58She's not cut out for this. It's... It's not ladylike.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01If you think women are independent, confident and strong,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03then I would say it's pretty ladylike.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- I want you to put a stop to it. - She's a grown woman, Derek, man.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- She's a child!- She's old enough to make her own decisions.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I doubt you deal with your own daughter this way.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16If I wanted to push my daughter away, I'd come to you for advice.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25I need a favour, Jack.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29I want you to put the kibosh on this nonsense between Alice and him.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Why?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Because it's not...appropriate.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Right. It ain't 1853 any more, Derek.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Yeah. Women, they've got the vote and everything now.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40They even let them drive these days. Can you believe it?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- PHONE RINGS - Oh, hang on.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Hello? Hello, mate.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48Listen, I've got an exhibition at the gym tomorrow, if you fancy it?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01When I said girls' holiday, I meant, like, roof terraces and cocktails,
0:09:01 > 0:09:02not frostbite and stag dos.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07Newcastle's a wicked night out. Isn't it, Lauren?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10How hard is it to fry an egg?
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Two out of three, you said. Money, family, boys.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Yeah, well, you know what I'm like...
0:09:24 > 0:09:25BOTH: Drama queen.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27THEY GIGGLE
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Going to tell me which two?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Well, I'm skint...
0:09:32 > 0:09:35and my family do my head in.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38So it's got to be a boy, then, hasn't it?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41You can tell me anything, Lauren.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Do you think you can shock me, of all people?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I'm not going to judge you.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I've got to go.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Sorry.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04'Hi, this is Joey. Please leave a message.'
0:10:17 > 0:10:19You OK?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Listen, thanks for helping me out tomorrow.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23I'm looking forward to it.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26It's a shame the old man ain't. I said to him earlier,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29"She's my niece, I'm not going to let anything happen to her."
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Dad's been here?- Yep. Flinging his weight around, as usual.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Wants to put the kibosh on you helping out tomorrow.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36You're joking?!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39He's just worried about his daughter, that's all.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40In Derek's own little way, yeah.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Babe, you know dads and their daughters.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Curfews, sleepovers, Sasha's always going on about how I'm too extra.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Where'd you disappear to?
0:11:07 > 0:11:11It's all right. Don't bother, you're here now.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Right...
0:11:16 > 0:11:23Special offers - extended warranties, monthly valets.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I want you to put these in these envelopes
0:11:25 > 0:11:29and stuff 'em into hundreds of doors. All right?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31OK.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Well, that was easier than I thought.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Have we got money trouble?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Why'd you say that?
0:11:38 > 0:11:42You could cut down on the wedding stuff. Mum wouldn't mind.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Babe, no-one's cutting back on any wedding.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47It's the economic climate, innit?
0:11:50 > 0:11:51What?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Bet you think me and your mum are mad, don't you,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58getting married again?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01It's just love, Lauren.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Love comes in, common sense flies out the window.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07You do things that other people think are mad.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Mind you, it don't matter what other people think, does it?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Two of those in each envelope. Crack on.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Can I... Can I do this later?
0:12:18 > 0:12:22No. Lauren. Lauren!
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Don't tell me, the gaff's on fire. Is your dad...?
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Kids!
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Right!
0:12:48 > 0:12:50You're making a big mistake, you know.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Maybe.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57But doing nothing's worse.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Del, is this going to take long?
0:13:21 > 0:13:26Right, I want you to pull rank on Jack.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28HE LAUGHS
0:13:28 > 0:13:30What do you mean, pull rank?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Why is everything I say so funny, all of a sudden?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35He listens to you, don't he?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Oh, yeah, yeah. You reckon, do you?
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Come on, Max.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I've got a bitter, twisted son.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I've got an even more bitter and twisted ex-wife.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48I could pack my worldly belongings in a bin-bag.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Only thing I got left is my Alice.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52All I want Jack to do is to knock this kung fu business
0:13:52 > 0:13:54with Sugar Ray Leonard on the head.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Well, Lauren tells me she's really good.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03You should go and watch, Derek, proud dad an' all that.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04What if she gets hurt?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06She ain't cage-fighting, is she? Self-defence.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08So she can look after herself.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10But I'm the one who's supposed to do that.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Yeah, when she was about eight, Derek. Want my advice?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Don't come down too heavy with her,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17you'll end up pushing her away, like you did with Joey.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Is that what you want?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23It's hard, Del, I know it is, letting 'em go.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Del, just go easy on her. All right?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Don't want to risk losing your daughter,
0:14:29 > 0:14:30as well as your son, do you?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Thanks, Max.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Where have you been?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Why do you care, eh, Lauren?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I mean, I'm just some scumbag you couldn't bear the sight of earlier.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I thought...
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I was such a cow to you in the caff earlier,
0:14:57 > 0:14:59and then I couldn't find you and your phone was off,
0:14:59 > 0:15:03and Alice said you'd had enough. I thought you'd gone.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Well, you told me to go.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Yes, because I was freaking out. Me and you...
0:15:09 > 0:15:13It was never just going to stop there, because it can't.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18It can't just stop there, and then what?
0:15:18 > 0:15:19I was scared.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Terrified.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27But not as scared as when I thought I'd lost you.
0:15:28 > 0:15:35You know what you said earlier, about it being special...
0:15:36 > 0:15:38..did you mean it?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Did you?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19This what it's come to, Derek, is it?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Standing about in alleyways to get your kicks?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Looks like I'm not the only one. - Yeah, yeah, very funny. Do you mind?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Go on, son, you knock yourself out.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29HE CHUCKLES
0:16:29 > 0:16:34I'd find out where he's been, if I was you, darling!
0:16:39 > 0:16:41CHILDREN CHATTER
0:16:41 > 0:16:45She's late. Why d'you think she's late?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I'm going to ask someone. I'll just find someone to ask.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- Oh!- Watch it!
0:16:50 > 0:16:52You want to watch where you're going!
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I am so sorry.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56It's fine! It's fine. This is great.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58This is just how I wanted Ava to see me!
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Are you my 3:00?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03No, we've got a meeting with the Deputy Head.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Yeah. I got roped into helping with the cookery.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Not my finest subject, so maybe our encounter was fate.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Sorry?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Saving London from my terrible baking. Ava Hartman.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Hi.- Hi.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Hey. What's the matter?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Your dad. My dad.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33Forget about them. All right? Lauren, this is about me and you.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36We just need to trust each other, that's all.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38You do trust me, don't you?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Look, Lauren,
0:17:44 > 0:17:48as long as we love each other, that's all that matters.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51What did you just say?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I love you.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Thanks.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24So you're thinking of sending your son to Lock Road Primary?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Yeah. We're moving to the area.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30And Granddad's come along to check us out as well, has he?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32No. I'm just a family friend.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Right. Well, you're very welcome.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Have you got any specific questions?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Sports. What sports do you do?
0:18:44 > 0:18:49Has no-one given you a prospectus? Let me just fetch you one.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54If you're going to do this, you need to put that woman out of her misery.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Why didn't Mum tell me? Did you know?
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Know what?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00You know what.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03The colour of Ava's skin? Of course not.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Does it make a difference?
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Obviously so.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09No, no, no, that's not what I meant!
0:19:09 > 0:19:11That's not it at all. I'm just a bit shocked.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Why wouldn't she mention...?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15There you go.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Shall we start the tour?
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- Then you can ask questions on the way round.- Great.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Hiya.- Oh, all right?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Yeah. So...
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Listen, d'you want to do something?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I keep getting texts on my phone, you know, pizza - two for one,
0:19:51 > 0:19:52and all that rubbish.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Shouldn't you be keeping your evening clear, as well as your phone line?
0:19:56 > 0:19:57For what?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00For when Sylvia inevitably calls to see if you want to hook up.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03She's probably washing her weave or something, babe.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04That's a bit negative.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Well, you know, if she was into me, she'd text me, innit? But...
0:20:08 > 0:20:10TEXT ALERT
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Is that her? HE CHUCKLES
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Oh, I knew she couldn't say no! Go on. What's it say?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Oh, Fats.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Is Oscar your only child?
0:20:47 > 0:20:51No, I've got two girls, teenagers. How about you?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54You know when people say they're married to their job?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Mine came with hundreds and hundreds of children.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- I bet the kids love you. - I'm not sure they'd always agree.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03For some of our kids, though,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06I am the closest thing they get to stability.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- Children need stability.- Yeah.
0:21:09 > 0:21:15They also need close family. Don't you think, Ms Hartman?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17If I could have one wish for every child,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19it wouldn't be a holiday to Disney World
0:21:19 > 0:21:22or a big trampoline in the back garden, it would be just that.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Me too!
0:21:25 > 0:21:27The thing is...
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Jayden, what have I told you about being out of the classroom?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35It... It's not allowed.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Then what are you doing in the corridor?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Sorry, Ms Hartman.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46It's all right, sweetheart, it's not your fault.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Shall we get you cleaned up?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52And what do I have to do to get a smile?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Oh, so handsome! ..Sorry. What were you saying?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Nothing. Sorry. I've...
0:22:00 > 0:22:01I think...
0:22:13 > 0:22:15She wasn't good enough for you anyway.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- Yeah?- Yeah. Greasy roots, dry ends.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24I always imagine you on the arm of some gorgeous TV presenter/model.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Like Carol Vorderman?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Yeah! Yeah.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33Look, Fats, you're very special, you know.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Different. And...unique!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Thanks.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41And when you're different,
0:22:41 > 0:22:46- it's worth waiting for someone who's a bit different too.- Yeah.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50PHONE RINGS
0:22:50 > 0:22:53It's my sister, I'd better get it.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Well, hello, Miss Meadow!
0:22:59 > 0:23:00No!
0:23:00 > 0:23:02What? Are you serious?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07OK... Bye.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16That was my sister, Tansy.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Yeah, you said. So what's happened?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22She's coming to visit. Tomorrow.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Oh, that's good, innit?
0:23:25 > 0:23:26SHE SIGHS
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Or...not!
0:23:32 > 0:23:34HE CLEARS THROAT
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Oh, and I got you these.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Look, I'm sorry, Alice. I was out of order.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45You went behind my back, to Uncle Jack, and Ray.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Now, hold on a minute...
0:23:47 > 0:23:48You can stuff these stupid flowers!
0:23:48 > 0:23:52You think that no matter what you do, no matter how much it hurts me,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55you can make it OK with a pathetic bunch of flowers!
0:23:55 > 0:23:56It's not OK!
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Let me explain what happened.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02A good dad would just trust me to make my own friends.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Oh, what, and Ray's your friend, is he?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Big strong Ray, your special friend?
0:24:06 > 0:24:07That's disgusting.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10I did go to the gym this morning, Alice. I admit it.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11But I went there to tell him
0:24:11 > 0:24:13that I would give you my full support tomorrow.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15That's not what he said.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Well, he wouldn't, would he?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Look, Alice, I don't know what...
0:24:19 > 0:24:22I don't know about this crush you've got on him.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25You told Ray I've got a crush on him?
0:24:25 > 0:24:26No. He told me.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29And he's starting to feel a bit awkward about it.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Let's face it, Alice, you're hardly his type, are you?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34And you should've heard the way that him and Jack
0:24:34 > 0:24:36were talking about some poor woman this morning,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38like she was a piece of meat.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- Ray's not like that. - I'm afraid he is.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43And he said he thinks it's about time
0:24:43 > 0:24:46that you bang this gym stuff on the head.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49I thought Ray was my friend.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Look, angel, I don't want you to make a fool of yourself.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57I mean, I wouldn't be a proper father
0:24:57 > 0:25:00if I didn't look out for you, would I?
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Oh, come here.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Come on.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10It's all right.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30She doesn't deserve it.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33My family and our chaos. My mum.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40I mean, you saw her, she's, she's so...
0:25:42 > 0:25:43I couldn't do it!
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- You did the right thing.- Did I?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50She's my flesh and blood.
0:25:50 > 0:25:56She's the same as Rainie, she's the same as...
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Lauren, and Abi, and Oscar.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Imagine it.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Imagine never knowing who your mum was, why she gave you away.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Come on now, man, you think it was that simple?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Your mother just gave her away?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I would die before I walked away from my kids.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Just take a look. Everybody playing together.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22You weren't here in the '50s, or '60s. I was. Cora was.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27You'll never understand.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31You mean because Ava's dad was...?
0:26:32 > 0:26:37Say it. Black, or dark, or coloured.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41You're saying my mum didn't want Ava because of the colour of her skin?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44That's just... That's even worse!
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Come on, listen to me now, man,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48your mother was no more than a kid herself.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Maybe she didn't have a choice.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53What do you think she went through, giving that baby up?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55You think it didn't bother her,
0:26:55 > 0:26:59that she didn't think about that child every single day? Come on!
0:26:59 > 0:27:04She had to deal with that all these years on her own.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Tanya, my mother used to say,
0:27:12 > 0:27:17"Son, let sleeping dogs lie. That way, nobody gets bitten."
0:27:44 > 0:27:46You won't say anything to Mum, will you?
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Let's forget this day ever happened, eh?
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Leave the past where it belongs. OK?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56ENGINE STARTS
