0:00:28 > 0:00:30What have you done?
0:00:30 > 0:00:32- I'm sorry.- I think I should go.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36I didn't realise she was just going to turn up here like this.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Are you talking about me?
0:00:38 > 0:00:40- Mum, please.- I have to go.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43No, no, you can't just walk out of here. She's your daughter!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52What is this?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55You weren't supposed to find out like this.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58What have you done?
0:00:59 > 0:01:00What have you done?
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Who are you?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14I'm your sister.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21I can explain everything. Please, just... Just wait here.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Let's go inside and talk, Mum.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43I'm so sorry, Mum.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Sorry.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- You're shaking.- Am I?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08I still can't believe he did this to you.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10He didn't, did he?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Joey, what are you talking about?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Look, he manipulates her, Lauren. He messes with her head.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I wasn't just going to stand there and let him get away with it, was I?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21She's my little sister!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Hey! Lau... Lau... Lauren!
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Hey!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Look...
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Promise me this.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33This don't change anything between us, yeah?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35What... What if he hurts you now?
0:02:35 > 0:02:36HE SCOFFS
0:02:36 > 0:02:40That's never going to happen, is it? Not mentally.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Come on.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Hey...
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Hey, what's the matter?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58I just hate being here. Hiding, like it's...
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Like it's something to be ashamed of.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Just give it a couple of weeks, yeah?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05What? What, until we break it to them gently, you mean?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Really?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09"Dad?"
0:03:09 > 0:03:12"Dad, you know my cousin Joey?"
0:03:12 > 0:03:15"The one you let in our house because he had nowhere else to go?"
0:03:15 > 0:03:18"Yes, well, WE... We are hooking up! We're a thing..."
0:03:18 > 0:03:20All right, so it won't be easy, Lauren.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22No, of course not. It's never going to happen, is it?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Why are you being like this? - Because...- Because what?
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Because.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I just wish that things could just be simple.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33HE SCOFFS
0:03:35 > 0:03:37That'd be boring, Lauren.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Anyway, you know I love a challenge.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44OK.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Is that all I am to you, then?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- A challenge?- Yeah.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Oh!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Amongst other things.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Hey...- Whoa.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- What's the matter?- OK, someone just walked over my grave.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Can we...? Can we just get out of here?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Cora? Cora? - KNOCK AT DOOR
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Co...?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Cora, the front door was wide open.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I need a drink.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Let me do that.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Has something happened?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I'll... I'll get Tanya, shall I?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I DON'T want her anywhere near me!
0:05:05 > 0:05:0648 years.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11She had no right to stir it all up again.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14That was my life. My choice. And she took it from me.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17What are you talking about? Huh?
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Ava.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I warned her, didn't I?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I told her...
0:05:25 > 0:05:30not to get involved with things that were no concern of hers.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34What I want to know is how she found out.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36She's been going through my things again, hasn't she?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Cora...- She was like it as a girl.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Once she got the bit between her teeth she wouldn't let...
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Cora! Cora! I told her.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51You did what?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Do you take sugar?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I'll just bring the bowl in.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Dad, have you seen Whit?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Nah, not since this morning. Is Joey all right?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Uh... Yeah, he'll live.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Well, well, well. This is nice, innit?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33A bit of quality time with your old Uncle Derek.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Can you just get out my way, please?
0:06:36 > 0:06:40You know, I remember the first time I came to see you.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42You must have been what, three or four years old?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Scrappy little thing. - Yep, sounds about right.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Sitting there with all the grown-ups.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Chirping in, making them all laugh.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50I thought, "That girl's going to go far."
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Funny how things turn out, innit?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56There you was, so full of promise...
0:06:56 > 0:06:58and how did you end up?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Propping up some bar in a backstreet boozer.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I don't have to listen to this.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08You know, binge drinking's one thing.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Dropping out of school? Well, we all did that.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15But shacking up with your own cousin?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Well, that's low even by your standards, Lauren.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Are you going to deny it?
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Well, what do you want?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Tell Joey I want to see him in the car lot in an hour.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Why?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32That's between me and him.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36And what if he don't show?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38HE CHUCKLES MENACINGLY
0:07:38 > 0:07:40You don't want to know that.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46This isn't your fault.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Look, it was only a matter of time before he snapped.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50You know that as well as I do.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52If you just talk to him, maybe...
0:07:52 > 0:07:55There you go again. You're making up excuses for him.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- He needs help!- No, he wants locking up, Alice, all right?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Do you really think this is bad?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03You should've seen my mum's face sometimes.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- I don't want to hear about that... - I was seven years old
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- and I was mopping up blood off the floor.- Stop it.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12He once hit her so hard that he left his ring printed in her face.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- You can still see it now if you look hard enough...- Just stop it!
0:08:15 > 0:08:17What is your problem, eh, Alice?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I mean, do you think I deserved this? Is that it?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21You want to get out of this house right now,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23before he does exactly the same to you!
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I just wanted my dad, Joey.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33I know.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I know you did, Alice.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Look, I'm sorry, all right? I'm sorry for shouting.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42What are you going to do, eh?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44SHE SNIFFS
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I dunno. Go back to Mum's?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Tonight, yeah?
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Listen, Alice. How about I stay here? We'll tell him together, yeah?
0:08:56 > 0:08:57It's just going to make things worse.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- DOOR OPENS - Hey!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Please, Joey! I have to do this by myself. Just go!
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Alice? Alice?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- Look, what happened, I... - I don't want to hear about it.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- I never touched him!- I don't!
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I swear on my father's life, I never touched him.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25You say she's over there right now?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Well, stop staring and go and talk to her now, man!
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Don't ever tell me what to do. Do you understand?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- You never said he was black. - You never asked.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Did he know?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44He cleared off before I had a chance to tell him.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I kept it hidden for nearly four months.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I was convinced he'd come back to me...
0:09:51 > 0:09:53whisk me off to the Caribbean.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00I can still remember my father's face when I told him.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06He never looked at me the same again.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10So what happened then?
0:10:12 > 0:10:16I was shipped off to a mother-and-baby home in Faversham.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22They waited until it was dark before they took me to the station.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Couldn't risk offending the neighbours.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Turns out they'd sorted everything.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Poor childless couple.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Bit of money tucked away.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40After 14 hours, I was back in my room, packing to go home again.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Did you ever see her again?
0:10:44 > 0:10:45There was no need.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48She wasn't my...
0:10:49 > 0:10:50problem anymore.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55But you must have kept a photo or something to remember her by?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Just a...silly string of beads.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Got lost years ago.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Cora...
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Why don't you go over and talk to her?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12There's nothing to say.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15She needs an explanation, if nothing else.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I was happy muddling along,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20getting ready for Tanya's wedding.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22And she came along and spoilt everything.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Oh, come on, you don't mean that. - Don't I?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27My baby's dead.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30That woman over there...
0:11:30 > 0:11:31she's nothing to me.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38You know what I would give to see my Paul? Just five minutes?
0:11:38 > 0:11:42And all you can do is sit down here and talk about how YOU feel.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45What about that poor girl over there, eh?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I didn't mean to do this.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Then why did you?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Because I had to see you.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- And your mother? - She didn't know anything about it.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I tried to put it to the back of my mind, but...
0:12:18 > 0:12:20I couldn't.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I just wanted to find out who my sister was.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28It feels strange, hearing that.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Doesn't quite cover it.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Did you know anything?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Just a name on a birth certificate.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40That's all.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44So, that story about your son coming to my school?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Yeah, it was just an excuse to see you.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48You didn't say anything.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54I couldn't.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- Was I a disappointment, is that it? - No. No, of course you weren't.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- DOOR SLAMS - Mum?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I'm in here, Lauren.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05This is Ava.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Mum, can I...? I really need to talk to you.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11I'm going.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13No, no, please don't. Just...
0:13:15 > 0:13:17It's nothing that can't wait, is it, Lauren?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27That's my eldest.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I've got two girls and... And my boy, there, Oscar.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35There is another sister as well.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Rainie.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40She's...
0:13:40 > 0:13:42She's got her problems, but I know she'd love to meet you...
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Just answer me one question.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47If I hadn't found your purse, would you have come back?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13'Hi, it's Joey. Please leave a message.'
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Hello? Hello, Joey, it's me.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Can you call me back as soon as you get this? It's really important.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Girls, have any of you two seen Joey?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Erm...no, not today.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Aren't you going to stop and have a drink?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31It's beauticians' day out.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Yeah, we're helping Poppy out. Unlike some people I could mention.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Yeah, well, I've been busy, ain't I?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Are you all right?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Yeah. Yeah, I just really, really need to find Joey.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Well, with any luck, he's taken a long walk off a short pier.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- Lucy...- What? He tried to split the three of us up.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Or does that not matter to you?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Yeah. Yeah, of course it does.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Tyler told us what happened.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Derek punched him. I can't believe it.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I don't blame him. He had it coming for months.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03SHE GIGGLES
0:15:03 > 0:15:05No wonder he dumped you.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07What?!
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Yeah, yeah, it must be really, really hard to try and actually like you.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13You little cow!
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Ow! Get off me, Lucy!
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Lucy, stop! Lucy!
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Oi, get off her! Get off her! What the hell's going on, eh?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- She started it.- Well, I'm finishing it, all right? A truce, yeah?
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Depends.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27On what?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29It's us or him.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Are you serious?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Lucy, you can't make her choose. He's family.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Oh, come on, Lauren. We're meant to be your best mates.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37So which is it?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I choose Joey.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I just got your message. What... What's so important?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- It's your Dad.- What's he done now?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03He knows.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05He knows about us.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07No. No, Lauren, he'll be bluffing.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Not this time.- What did he say?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11He wants you to meet him in the car lot in 40 minutes.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Right, well, he can whistle, can't he?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15What if he tells my dad?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18We'll just have to front it out, all right?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20No, you don't understand. He's going to kill you!
0:16:20 > 0:16:22I can take care of myself, Lauren, all right?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Well, what about me?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Do you think he's going to just let you keep seeing me?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29No! It's all going to kick off, Joey.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31You're going to have to go. You're going to have to go.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Hang on. I'm not leaving you, all right?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Just go to your mum's or something, can't you? Just leave.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37No, I can't.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41We don't really have much choice, do we, Joey? So...
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I mean, this.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Us. It's got to stop.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Right. So, that's what you want, is it?
0:16:52 > 0:16:53No.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57No, of course it's not!
0:16:59 > 0:17:00SHE SNIFFS
0:17:02 > 0:17:03But we can't be together. Not here.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Right, then. We'll have to leave.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- We can't.- Why not?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Because this is my home!
0:17:15 > 0:17:17You're 18 now, Lauren. You can do whatever you want.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19What about my family? My friends?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21My mum and dad are meant to be getting married
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- in a couple of months. - What would you rather do?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Just stick around here till they screw things up again?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Just give me half an hour, yeah?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I'll meet you out in the gardens.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I'm scared.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Joey, I'm really scared.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43You've got nothing to be scared of, Lauren, all right?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Cos I'm going to look after you.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54So, are you married?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57A few near-misses.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02My husband, Max, he's, um...
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Well, I say husband, we're actually divorced at the moment.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07We're about to get married for a second time.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09It's not as complicated as it sounds, actually.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11DOOR OPENS That might be Lauren.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15I should just go and see what she wanted to talk about.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Could you leave us?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27I'm not going to tell you again.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45This must have come as quite a shock to you.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47You could say that.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Well, I'm about as prepared as you are.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52I don't know about you,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55but I could murder a Scotch.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Mum?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Can I talk to you now?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Do you know what I would love?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Just for once?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Someone to ask me if I was all right, for a change.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I mean, you think life's complicated now, Lauren.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23I hate to break it to you, it doesn't get any easier.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33You must have a fair few holidays as a teacher.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I'm in between jobs at the moment.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40I used to run the charity shop on Turpin Road.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Dalston, eh?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46I knocked about there when I was a kid.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I remember this one time,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53it must have been the summer of 1958...
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Why did you do it?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Why did you give me up?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Because I wanted to give you the best life I could.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06And my father?
0:20:07 > 0:20:10He knew nothing about you.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Come on.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19There must be 101 questions you'd like to ask.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I can't do this.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25You were born at 3:26 in the afternoon.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Five pounds, four ounces.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30A bit underweight, but nothing to worry about.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Sandie Shaw was number one.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40They played it on the wireless all the time.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44How long did you stay with me?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48An hour, maybe.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53And then you just walked away?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59And then what?
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Then I got on with my life.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06What else could I do?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Didn't you ever want me?
0:21:12 > 0:21:13It was different back then.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15That's not what I asked you.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Don't know about you...
0:21:21 > 0:21:22but I could do with a top-up.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05what a low-life piece of scum my old man really is.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Then why didn't you fight for me?

0:25:11 > 0:25:13We muddled through, though.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17I tried to find you once.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23I was in my late 30s, I felt a bit...lost.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24What happened?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I got scared.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Worried I'd disappoint you?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32You rejected me once. Who's to say you wouldn't do it again?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39So you never tried?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42I decided the past was best left there.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46And now?
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Nothing's changed.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07That no good at all is going to come out of raking up the past.
