0:00:24 > 0:00:27Why don't you ask me?!
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Deal with your brother.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Abs.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Abs, can I just talk to you? Please.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Abs!
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Abs, please don't run away from me, babe. Please! Abs!
0:01:16 > 0:01:17DOOR SLAMS
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Auntie-ji?
0:01:40 > 0:01:45TV: 'He'll bone out the ribs for you, he'll roll your sirloin for you. Brilliant.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50'But it's best to buy your meat like this. Not in little sweaty polythene packages!
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- '20 pound to you, my friend.- Ohh! - Bargain.- We'll come here again!
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- 'CHEERING Hello!- Hello!
0:01:57 > 0:02:01'How are you all? Is there somebody good on?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04'We're doing a Lancashire hot pot.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07'How long will it take? Cos I want me dinner.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- 'How long have you got for your dinner?- About an hour and a half.- Oh, that'll be all right. Aye, not bad.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14'We're using two cuts of lamb.'
0:02:25 > 0:02:28You could have just told her you didn't like it.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Why would he do that?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Why would he...
0:02:40 > 0:02:43What was going through his mind?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Do you think he's having some kind of breakdown, or...?
0:02:52 > 0:02:58Why spend all that time building something up, just to smash it to pieces?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07We... We need to get everything back to normal.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12That water feature - it's taken over everything.
0:03:12 > 0:03:20So, what we need - what everyone needs - is just a...a nice meal. Like we'd planned. A proper meal.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25So once Tamwar's picked Kamil up... Ayesha, go and lay the table and...
0:03:25 > 0:03:31- I'm cooking.- Yeah, you're burning the onions. Give me the spoon.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Always has to be your way.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42- Last time you cooked the onions, you burnt them.- You've no idea, do you? How lucky you are?
0:03:45 > 0:03:50- Uncle-ji's a gentle, lovely... - You saw him with that sledgehammer! - ..considerate man.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- And nothing he does is ever right. - Your mother wouldn't appreciate...
0:03:52 > 0:03:57Nothing he says, nothing he thinks. You don't even treat him like a person.
0:03:57 > 0:04:03- I will not be spoken to like that in my own house!- It's his house too! - Then why is he smashing it up?!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Do you blame him?
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Why are you defending him, huh? Why do you keep defending him?
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Alice ain't working here any more.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24And she couldn't just phone? She couldn't send a postcard?
0:04:24 > 0:04:29- Smoke signals?- Funny. Now, I do know what you're doing, Michael.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Blimey. You really are boring, aren't you?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- You're taking advantage of her. - Am I?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Let's explore that, shall we?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39She does things I need doing. I pay her for those things.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Yeah. You know, you're flashing your cash about and your, you know, bonuses...
0:04:43 > 0:04:45When she does things well, I pay her a little more.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Yeah. Buying her gifts. Earrings. It was earrings, wasn't it, Michael?
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Earrings? No, no. You've lost me now.- She ain't working here any more, OK?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57And she ain't gonna sleep with you neither.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Hmm. - BABY CRIES
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Find your own way out.
0:05:06 > 0:05:13- TV:- 'Painted in this nice rich old green. We've got the crown, of course, and then...
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- You got something to tell me? - All right. Keep it calm.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Or was I gonna have to wait for me invite?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22I don't want your money.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Abs, it's not what you think.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30You never even said she was back!
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Right, well, it IS what you think.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- What's happened to your face? - Nothing. It's just a bruise.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39- This is to do with her, isn't it? She's always trouble.- Please, can you not tell anyone?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Tell anyone what?
0:05:41 > 0:05:46- That's all you care about.- What's happened to your face?- Abi, don't turn this into something it ain't.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- You were in bed, Dad.- Yeah... - Yeah, with that woman!
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Are you missing your father?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11I'm sorry that I was so sharp with you.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I should have thought.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- SHE SIGHS - Do you want to phone your mother?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I love him.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Uncle-ji.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Masood. I...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I love him.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47You have a...crush on Masood?
0:06:49 > 0:06:53When I wake up in the morning, he's the first thing I think about.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56When I see him, me heart goes mental.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Masood?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01When I'm apart from him, time moves so slow.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- He's old enough to be your father! - That doesn't matter.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07OK.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I... I understand.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15You know, you lose a father, and so you...
0:07:15 > 0:07:17He's nothing like me father.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20I love him. Don't you get it?
0:07:22 > 0:07:27Sometimes, Ayesha, sometimes... people have...emotions.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30They have very strong emotions. And they're -
0:07:30 > 0:07:34You don't even remember, do you?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37What that feels like.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40This...
0:07:42 > 0:07:45These things in your head...they...
0:07:45 > 0:07:48In me head.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Is that what you think?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Why don't you ask him?
0:07:57 > 0:07:58I know Masood.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Do you?- We were married before you were born.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I think I know him a little bit better than you.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Fine.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Nothing happened.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22So you just lay the table...
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- and we will pretend that nothing was...- But it could have done.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I've seen the way he looks at me.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Waiting for me to come out the shower.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39I know what's going on in his mind.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53'In a towel?'
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Yeah.- You... Just standing there in a towel?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Oh, what have I done?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Like completely, totally... - It's not about the towel!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I picked up a sledgehammer.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I mean...a sledgehammer?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14No-one is blaming you. The thing was ug-ly.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I built something.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23For Zainab. And then I destroyed it. I destroyed everything.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Most blokes your age just buy a sports car.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36So, if it ain't about the towel... what is it, then?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43It was a mistake.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Told you.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Not getting engaged - telling Alfie.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I'm sorry I didn't tell you first. I'm sorry you found out that way.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52But I'm not sorry you've got the hump, cos I'm marrying Tyler.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Just cos you don't like him... - When did I say I don't like him?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Look, can we just talk about this like grown-ups?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- She don't think I am a grown-up. - I do, but I don't want to argue. - Why are we arguing, then?- We ain't!
0:10:02 > 0:10:06I wanted to get a flat first. We haven't even got a ring. I do love Tyler.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09There's a difference between loving someone and marrying them. You're 20!
0:10:09 > 0:10:14- You hypocrite! When you were my age...- I was married. And I don't want you making the same mistake.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16She's not making a mistake.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31It's a bit early.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33You don't tell me what to do.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I'm still your dad, ain't I?
0:10:37 > 0:10:38SHE SCOFFS
0:10:54 > 0:10:57It ain't easy, Lauren.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Oh, my heart bleeds.
0:10:59 > 0:11:05"I couldn't help myself." "She was just there." "It wasn't meant to happen."
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Yeah. All of the above. - It's not a joke, Dad. You seen Abi?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- She ain't laughing, is she? - I didn't say it was a joke, did I?
0:11:12 > 0:11:18See, just when I think surely - surely - you can't let us down again...
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Abi, she just came over. I didn't know, did I?- See?
0:11:22 > 0:11:27- It's always someone else's fault. - It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Anyway, Kirsty, she ain't got anywhere else to go.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Yes. Because London's tiny, isn't it?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37She has, Lauren, she's been having a really hard time of it.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41OK. So, what - you just rode to her rescue, you had a few knocks,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44and you just fell into bed, did ya?
0:11:44 > 0:11:50- No, well, she had to get out of there. What was I supposed to do? - Not sleep with her, Dad!
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Not when Mum's only been gone a few days.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Just...
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Just have a bit of respect.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Even just for yourself.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09DOOR OPENS THEN SLAMS SHUT
0:12:12 > 0:12:16It...was flattering. Like when I first met Zainab.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19The way they look at you. How they make you feel.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Yeah, but those feelings don't last forever, do they?
0:12:22 > 0:12:26I know. And things change. And...
0:12:26 > 0:12:28what they change into seems normal.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30She's just a kid.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35And she's confused. And lonely.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39And...nothing happened. And nothing's going to happen.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44It just...
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- HE SIGHS - It just made me look.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48At what I've got.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50But you and Zainab, bhai, what you've got, it's solid.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- Is it? - It's what most people dream of.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Ten rounds in a boxing ring?
0:12:57 > 0:13:02Yeah. Because you stay there till it's all fought out.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06You don't run away when it gets difficult. You shout and you cry and you hurt and you hurl
0:13:06 > 0:13:09but you hang on in there, cos what you've got, it's proper.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12It's...love.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16I bet you never heard me put so many sentences together before.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18THEY CHUCKLE
0:13:22 > 0:13:24MASOOD SIGHS
0:13:33 > 0:13:34I'm sorry.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- We're just going to have a nice family dinner, yes? - For talking to you like that.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43We'll put it all behind us, Ayesha. We'll forget you said anything.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I was cooking that for him, you know?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49The onions caught. On the bottom of the pan. All right?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53You can't pretend something's not happening when it is.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- When it's happening in your house... - I am really trying here, Ayesha!
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I love him. I am in love with him, with every breath, with every...
0:13:59 > 0:14:04- This is not a movie, sweetheart. - And I know - I know - that he feels it too.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11- I'm going to see him.- No, no, you're not. Ayesha, you're not.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12You can't stop us!
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Ask him. He'll tell you everything.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20You are not going to see Masood.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28But I think you should leave.
0:14:29 > 0:14:35I think you should leave my house. For good.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55I was passing the launderette, I picked up your dry cleaning...
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- What do you think you're doing? - I know how men's minds work, Al.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01How did you get in? Where's Michael?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Give you a bit of extra money or buy you a few nice things and...
0:15:04 > 0:15:07HUSHED TONES: Michael is not like that. You need to go.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12- Come on, Alice. Michael's exactly like that.- It's just a scarf! - And the earrings.- What earrings?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- These.- You been going through my stuff?- I'm just looking out for you.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Oh, like Dad used to?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I was doing that long before he came back on the scene.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22That was when I was a girl. And now I'm not.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Please just get out.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- They've only just got back together. They split up over a kiss!- That's not even your business.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- It was when you was moping about this house.- I know what you're thinking.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37You couldn't even come and tell her you'd messed up!
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- You waited till I told her then... - I had...somewhere to go.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- I bet you did!- Deep down, you don't think I'll stick around.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- You don't have to justify yourself to her.- And maybe I was like that.
0:15:46 > 0:15:53Right, but when I met Whit... Well, she ain't like no-one else I've ever met before.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56She's special. And I love her. And you know that.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Where did love ever get anyone?
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Come on, Ty.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Bianca, you can't just let them walk out.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11Look... I know we ain't always seen eye to eye.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15- And I haven't always given you an easy time.- You ain't ever given him an easy time.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20But I know... I know that you are good for Whit.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25But you're still doing your diploma. You're going places.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30You've got your whole life, Whit - you could make something of it. Something more than I did.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- I'm still gonna do those things. - Yeah,- I- want her to do those things. I ain't gonna stop her.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39They all say that. Till they get you up the aisle, or...in an apron, or up the duff.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44- Bianca!- This is getting stupid now. - I didn't get her up the duff. I'm not...going to get her up the duff.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Whit, this is not all heart-shaped balloons, yeah?
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- Don't take the mick. - Look. Look at me. I was married.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57It's hard. Things change. People get hurt. Look at me. Look at your nan!
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Just slow down a bit, yeah? This is your home.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04We like having you here. There's no rush.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11I just want to be happy. You know, just one little bit of happiness.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15After all that I've been through... just one little bit of happiness.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19And I thought you might want that for me too.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Don't worry.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Why didn't you tell anyone?
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Like who?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I mean, my dad's not here...
0:17:40 > 0:17:45and even if he was, I couldn't tell him, cos he'd just get too worried.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48He's only just started...
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I can't get ill, anyway.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56I mean, what about Bobby? And what about the businesses...?
0:17:56 > 0:18:03- It's hard enough trying to... - No, no, don't go...jumping to places that you don't need to go yet.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10You've found a lump. OK, we'll get you to a doctor's, get it looked at and...
0:18:10 > 0:18:13and then we'll take it from there.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18It's probably nothing. You know, people...they get lumps all the time.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25But if it is...
0:18:25 > 0:18:29If it is...something...
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Then, they'll deal with it.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35And if it is cancer - and that is a big if...
0:18:36 > 0:18:40..then...you know, people get it every day.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43And then they get treatment.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46And they survive.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59- Joey, can you just get out?! Please!- No, Alice. No.- Just go!
0:18:59 > 0:19:00All right?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- I picked up your dry cleaning. - Thank you.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Couldn't you find the door? It's there.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- Michael, I'm so sorry. I tried to get him to leave... - Alice, don't apologise for me.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Was it too many syll-a-bles for you?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- Joey, you're really embarrassing me. - You're embarrassing yourself, Al.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19You're such a throwback. Look at those ridiculous biceps. You don't scare me.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24You're pathetic, you know that, Michael? Buying a young girl like that earrings, things like that.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26I didn't buy her earrings.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I bought them myself. With my first wages.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31I wanted to look nice.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- Well, she won't be coming back here, mate. Come on, we're going.- I'm not going anywhere.- Yes, you are.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Ah, that seems pretty definitive to me. So, I'm bored now. You can go.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46You, however, you can stay. You can make yourself at home.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Joey, leave him alone!
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Michael, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Are you OK? Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Come on, home.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Are you OK?
0:20:09 > 0:20:10DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
0:20:10 > 0:20:15- TV: 'It's like The Generation Game, this, isn't it? - Don't be frightened of the dough.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17'If I'm thinking, I'm not doing.
0:20:17 > 0:20:24'Normally I'm quite good at this. It's reminding me of something I used to do when I was younger.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29- 'Here's the Hadrian we made earlier on, gentlemen. - Why do you call it Hadrian again?'
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I'm sorry, Lauren. All right? I should have told you.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37- What, before Abi walked in on you with some other woman? - Well, I'm not proud of that, am I?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Only she's not just some other woman, is she? No.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43She's your wife.
0:20:43 > 0:20:49- Your wife because you want her to be?- Or cos she turned up the day you were meant to be marrying Mum?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53It ain't funny, Lauren.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Really?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Cos I actually...I actually think that this is hilarious.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Just like the rest of your life. It always has been.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Well, I'm here, ain't I? I'm trying to explain.
0:21:04 > 0:21:10No. You're trying to cover your back and make sure we don't tell Mum.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14What? You don't think that I don't know what you're doing?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Dad's little talks?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Do you love her?
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Kirsty. Your wife. Do you love her?!
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Get out.
0:21:37 > 0:21:43- Abs, I'm just trying to - - You heard her. Just...get out, Dad.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Out!
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I'm sorry. He always does that. Like I'm some little girl.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Is that OK?- Mm.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Nice.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Thank you. Thanks for cleaning me up.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18You can go now.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19For good.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Mum...is like a balloon.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41And if you don't want her to pop...
0:22:41 > 0:22:45you just have to walk away... and have a milkshake.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48And then come back later when the air's let out.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Syed told me that when I was little. And now I'm telling you.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Mummy's a balloon.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00CAR HORN HONKS
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I called a taxi.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I didn't mean that you had to go right away.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Don't worry, I'm not going to go see him.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28I'm not even going to say bye. There's enough hurt here already.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34I'm going home.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- I really didn't think Alfie was gonna tell them.- It don't matter.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59I wanted... I wanted to tell you first that they knew.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01But...I had to pop home.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08To get this.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Wow.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27I know it's... I know it's an old one, but, you know, I've cleaned it and...when I get some money...
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- No, it's beautiful.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I love it.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55And I love you.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32If you just...said sorry, we can forget about it, Al.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I just lost my job.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12My kids don't want to see me anymore.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Neither of them do.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Tomorrow, couple of days... it will seem different.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Yeah.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40So it's, er...it's just the... four of us tonight, then?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Ayesha has decided to go home.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51You don't seem very surprised.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56No, she...she probably misses her mum.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Her mum.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Yeah. Of course.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:28:05 > 0:28:11Have you... Has... you and Ayesha had, er...
0:28:16 > 0:28:18I know, Mas.
