You didn't have to do all of this!

Did he? Clever Alfie.

Well, listen, I'm going to go, darling.

I love you. Give me a big kiss and a cuddle.

See you later.

They having a good time?

Sounds like it. She said yesterday Roxy was, er...

Thanks for my breakfast.

Morning. Morning.

Is this the bit where you tell me I'm just a stupid little girl,

and it meant nothing?

I haven't forgotten what you said last time.

What did I say? Go on.

That it was quick, easy, forgettable sex.

You laughed at me.

All lies.

If I... If I could change...

..that, I would.

I was disgusting.

But things will be different now.

So let me tell Tamwar. Let me tell him it's over.

I'm not going to lie to him.

KEYS RATTLE Let me tell Janine. No.

You seen my money belt?

Yeah, it's here.

You all right? Yeah.

Alice... FRONT DOOR CLOSES

..you and me - it's wrong.

I knew it! No! I'm not finished.

It feels wrong, but I just can't keep away from you.

You're the only one who gets me.

You're the only one who ever did.

That's why it's so important...

that we keep everything as normal.

Why? Because Janine would go ballistic. You would lose your job.

I don't care! I care!

I care because Scarlett would get taken away.

Don't you see what I'm saying to you?

Then WE couldn't be a family. The three of us.

Yeah. That's it.

That's it.

(You're so beautiful.)

And if...

And if you want it as much as I do -

and I hope you do... I do.

You do? I do.

Then I need you...

..to be my emissary. To stay in there.

Yeah?

(Don't breathe a word.

(To anyone.)

OK. OK.

RONNIE SIGHS

You OK? Mm-hm.

Yeah, it's just, er...

You know - Phil and Roxy.

You know what?

I'm going to throw you a little flat-warming party tonight.

Jack, I don't... No, come on. Celebrate you moving back in.

If we're going to start a life together... I just think we should do it later. No.

We're going to do it tonight. Here. All of them.

Phil? ALL of 'em.

Don't worry, all right? I'll shift the lot.

And make up the money we lost.

You better had.

Guest for you. He's not just a guest, is he?

So...what are we doing?

You look nice. Thank you.

It's my day off, and...

you've got a couple of weeks' leave - I thought maybe we could...

Yeah. I, er...

HE CLEARS THROAT Syed called.

Oh, no, no - it's nothing serious. It's... So, what?

Well, Christian's got a chance for some work over in Gran Canaria... Masood!

Amira's on holiday, and Syed's going to be on his own with Yasmin.

But I was looking forward to spending time together.

I know. Me too, it's just, you know what it's like with kids and grandchildren. Yeah, I know.

I get to spend Eid with Yasmin. Eh? Hmm, OK.

And I thought... Bianca'll be back tomorrow.

Bring you back a present. Ooh, souvenir from Birmingham! Can't wait(!)

It was just a complication.

I thought it would be straightforward.

Usually is, in most cases.

Look...

they're weaning him off the anaesthetic, so...

he should wake up later on this afternoon.

Come and see him.

I-I'm...

I'm tired.

In a bit, then, yeah?

Yeah. In a bit.

All right?

What do you want now? Room service?

I was only going to ask if you fancied some lunch. I can make my own lunch, thanks,

like you can wash your own smalls.

Has something happened, Carol? What about your big day out?

Yeah, Masood's going away. Oh. Got a little bit on the side, has he?

No, he's going to stay with his son, who lives with his husband near their daughter in Birmingham.

Very modern. Yeah, he is. Even washes his own socks.

Don't worry, Carol. I'll look after you while he's away.

Yeah, well, you won't have to. Bianca's back tomorrow and you'll be gone.

That's not mine.

Yeah, but what if he don't? So long as they've managed to stop the bleeding. What are you, a doctor?

Right. Listen, we're having a family dinner over at mine.

About half past five, yeah? You're having a laugh, ain't you?

Just to celebrate me and Ronnie being back together and stuff.

Our mate is in hospital - might not live - and you want a party?

There's been complications, Jack.

Right, I'm sorry. Didn't know that. Well, now you do know.

Well, moments like this make you realise how important family really is.

I don't think Phil'd be too happy about it. Don't worry about him, he'll be there.

All right. All right, we'll come over. Pops!

Come on. It's important to Ronnie.

Nice one.

You can always go and see Dex later, can't you?

Hey, babe. Are you... Are you OK?

Yeah, I am. I just heard about Dexter.

Oh, yeah, man, it's deep, innit?

Puts everything in perspective, don't it?

What you been doing with the oil - drinking it? Yes, Ian(!)

Hey, Mr Chef Man. I was wondering -

can I put up one of my posters, please?

I hope you know what you're doing.

Did you have another nice day off?

Yeah, It was lovely. Do anything special?

No. You know - just stuff.

You know...

I really didn't want to get this injunction but...

he's a monster.

It's OK. I understand.

I don't want him anywhere near her.

Janine, it's OK. She needs changing.

I was wondering. Me and Ronnie - we were hoping...

Well, Jay's already told me. The answer's no.

This is important for Ron. Then why ain't she the one asking me?

All right, it's important for both of us.

The word was "no". Just an hour, all right? Half hour tops.

Now you're begging me. Is this a joke or what? This is family.

Your brother tries to kill me, and I'm supposed to play "pass the salt" or something?

Phil, this is family, all right? What would your mum say?

Well, she'd probably say Ronnie was off her rocker, but, well, Billy and Jay want to go.

We've had enough misery as it is.

So? Take in some orphans, feed some stray cats or something.

You owe her. You don't get to tell me what to do.

She's been looking out for you. I told you - I ain't coming.

Looking out for you. Looking out for your business. She don't deserve this.

All right? How you doing?

When's your dad back?

Got back yesterday.

Why? You want to give him a message?

Nah. Nah, nah, it's all right. I'm sure I'll bump into him soon.

I cleaned the sheets and I ironed them, and...

I'm really sorry. Janine didn't get back till half three in the morning.

I thought you weren't working last night.

Yeah. She just, er, sprung it on me last minute.

Yeah, no please, no thank you.

3.30 in the morning.

And then my phone's battery died and so, er...

I'm really sorry, Tam.

It's all right.

Dad's going away for two weeks,

so I was wondering if you wanted to come and stay.

Like, ACTUALLY stay this time.

Er...yeah. If I'm free, then yeah.

Good. Cos before you know it, we'll have stopped having sex.

We'll start arguing before breakfast, doing that passive-aggressive thing about,

you know, who does the washing up and then file for divorce.

It's a joke. It's not a funny one, but...

Distance.

Yeah, he really creeps me out.

Yeah, Michael is weird.

Anyway, er, laters.

Tam...

I'm really sorry.

If I hadn't come back to find you...

This isn't your fault.

..our son wouldn't be lying there.

Well, you did come back. And he is lying there.

And he needs you.

This is incredible.

Only a few bits and pieces.

So, Carol and the kids coming?

Carol - she's actually a bit busy.

And Dot - she's got to go and see my dad.

And what about Phil?

HE SIGHS

DOORBELL RINGS

Go on.

Jack...

thanks for this.

Thanks for everything.

Come in.

All right, Jack. How you doing?

Hey, Ron. Hey, Billy, you all right?

Yeah, good. You? Good, yeah.

Jay said that it would be OK to...

Yeah. Yeah, course it's OK.

How's your friend? Dexter, isn't it? Is he all right?

No, he's still unconscious. Oh, sorry.

Phil not here yet? He's, er... He's busy.

But I thought... You thought what?

Yeah, all right, darling.

OK. Take care. Enjoy.

What did she say?

Er...Bianca's going to stay up there a bit longer.

So that means you can stay a bit longer, then! Liam!

David might have things to do. No, nothing that can't be changed.

Well, it might be for a few weeks.

That long?

You know what? Maybe you should go away and come back nearer the time.

Carol, I've come all this way to see her - another few weeks ain't going to hurt, is it? Yeah!

D'you know what? I think it'd be for the best if you...

If you went, actually.

Look, if it's a problem... A problem?

Yeah, me being in the house, with Masood away.

Don't flatter yourself.

Well, if you're uncomfortable with it...

Why would it be a problem? You said yourself if would be best...

Why would I be uncomfortable?

Carol, I can always go to a B You know that.

I was just saying it cos I think it's a bit crowded.

Crowded! Having you around doesn't bother me a bit.

Good. Good.

Come on, boys.

Cos I like it.

So...how's the car lot doing?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's fine, yeah.

You want to check the brakes on them motors.

HE SIGHS

You tried the sausages, Jay?

No, I ain't hungry.

Billy, Lola said you'd joined the football team.

Yeah, well, they've asked me, so...

Might as well ask Dot to play.

Nah, Pops is doing really well, aren't you?

I do my best. Yeah, and you got a sponsor and everything.

Two!

I said R would throw in a few quid. Have you, now?

Alfie said he'd sponsor us as well. Did he say that before he went AWOL with Roxy,

or did he put it on a postcard?

Abi, you heard anything from your dad?

Er, no. No, not for a while.

You better get used to visiting rooms.

Well, that was uncalled for, wasn't it? He didn't mean it.

Didn't I?

Let me get you a plate.

Proper little housewife, ain't you?

Drink, anyone? BILLY: Yeah, go on, I'll have one.

There you go, mate. Thank you. Cheers.

Good trip?

Er...yeah.

Not avoiding me, are you?

No.

No, course not.

Peter!

Carl.

We were...just catching up.

You going to see, er, Dexter in hospital?

Well...if you don't need me.

Evening shift?

We can have this catch-up another time, yeah?

Soon.

Come on, you go see Dexter. And get the others, yeah?

Two weeks away - I'm going to miss you.

Yeah, I'm going to miss you too. But I've promised Syed.

I know. I know. It's just that, you know, two weeks.

Seems a shame to spend it apart.

Well, I could...

I could tell him to find someone else. It was short notice.

No, no, no. No, I'm not saying that.

I was talking to Whitney and, er...

if it's all right with you, I... I could come with you to Birmingham.

Save you buying me a present.

Yeah?

Yeah, all right, Pete. Yeah, we'll meet you at the hospital then.

All right, mate. Are you sure that this is OK?

Yeah, you go and see your friend.

Sure you don't want me to give you a lift?

Er...no, we're all right, ta.

Well, tell him if he has any more days off, it's coming out of his wages.

That's very sensitive(!) Yeah, I'll wheel him in in his bed, shall I?

Seriously, I hope everything's fine.

See you later.

Right, now, are you going to be a good girl, yeah?

Come to Granddad. Come on. No, it's all right. Auntie Ronnie's got her, haven't you?

Good girl.

Good girl. Be good.

Go, go.

That's my locket.

That's mine. That's all mine.

Where's it gone?

There it is, there it is. Ooh!

Meant to be meeting Alice.

She's probably just doing make-up or something.

You know, girl stuff.

Dexter is going to pull through, babe. Is he?

Yeah. You know...

they say you don't know what you love till you've lost it.

And "seize the day" and all that.

Miss Teen Vic?

A great idea, isn't it? I mean, your man here...

No, sorry, he... He's not my man.

Wait, all right? We ran out of beer, OK,

so we needed an idea to get back all that money I lost.

What? What, by holding a cattle market? It's not like that!

You scouting out new girlfriends, are you, Arthur?

Cos, you know, women are just objects, aren't they?

To think that me and you... That I...

Yeah, well. Whatever. Yeah.

Yeah, maybe that wasn't the moment to seize.

Oh! And you're so lucky, are you, eh? You and Alice, eh?

All so simple, is it?

NEWS PLAYS ON TV

FRONT DOOR CLOSES

She's all bathed and tucked up in bed. Ooh!

Proper little Mary Poppins.

Same time tomorrow? Er...

Has HE tried to see her at all?

Michael? No. Yeah, but I saw you trying to avoid him.

Yeah, he's keeping his distance.

If I hadn't come along at that time... He hasn't been near her.

He's not a bad person.

Well, you don't know him.

Well, he's a good father.

JANINE CHUCKLES

Oh, deary me! Very sweet little innocent Alice, eh?

Y-You've just got him all wrong.

I don't think so.

You don't understand him.

No, YOU don't understand him, actually.

You don't understand the way he thinks,

how he tries to get inside of your head...

I'm sorry, what's so funny? ALICE CHUCKLES

I get him more than you do.

Alice, you might find this amusing, but I'm sorry, you're a child, OK?

You're a very sweet, innocent, slightly pathetic, child.

Really? Is that why he slept with me?

Ugh!

More trusting than I thought.

That's what all this is about.

No. You know that, don't you?

That he's sleeping with you...

so that he can get his hands on the baby?

No! It's not that. It was a long time ago,

it was only once and you two weren't together.

It's not even the point. All I was saying is that he's not a bad person.

I'm afraid you can't all come in here. We just want to see if he's all right.

It's only two at a time, darling.

How's he doing? Just ten minutes.

I'm sorry. What about five minutes? I'm sorry.

DEXTER: Will you lot keep the noise down?

S-Some of us are trying to sleep in here, you know.

Hey, baby.

I've said goodbye to Tiff - she's having a shower.

Liam's going to sort out all the... Stop it, I'll be fine. Honestly.

Just go. Jack's only next door. I've done this before, you know.

I've had all the training. Ian is going to kill me!

Look, don't worry.

He'll have to get through me first, won't he? Aww!

Have you said goodbye to Grandad?

Just go. You deserve it.

For Yasmin. It'll give her super-powers.

Climb buildings and see through walls.

Have a good trip. Don't you worry - I'll look after Carol.

Oh, didn't she tell you? She's coming too.

You nearly...

Weren't no "nearly" about it.

You're OK.

You're going to be OK.

Yeah. You too?

Thank you.

All of this...

..for me.

It's all right. It weren't all that bad.

I mean, did you see my nurse?

She was a buffy, Dad.

When were you going to tell me?

Send me a postcard or something?

It's none of your business.

Why leave it to the last minute to let me find out?

I didn't... I didn't think that you'd have to be...

Carol, I hope you're not going because of me.

Because as I said earlier, I can just leave.

David, you know what? Please do not flatter yourself.

Right, well, I'll stay and look after the kids until Bianca gets back.

Whitney, she can manage.

Anyway, you... You'll probably be gone by the time I get back.

Yeah, I'll stay and say hello to Bianca and then...

I'll get out of everyone's hair.

Bye, then. Bye.

Are you really going soon?

I ain't going anywhere.

Sweet.

For you. Thanks, darling.

Have you been crying?

I lost my job.

Why?

Janine just lost it with me.

I've ruined everything.

The three of us being a family and...

No.

No, no, no, no.

Poor Alice.

I'm sorry. Careful.

Careful. Someone might walk in. Secret, yeah?

Remember?

Do you want to go upstairs? Yeah. But...

..we need to be cautious.

I think you need to unwind.

You need a bit of you time.

Why don't you go and run me a nice bath?

You angry at me? No.

OK. OK.

Just...

Just mildly disappointed - that's all.

Well, come on then, bath time for you.

Right, well, er...

thanks for everything. Thanks for coming, Billy.

See you later, Billy. See you.

Yeah, well, I'd better be off an' all.

Yeah, cheers, Phil.

Yeah, thank you for coming. I really appreciate it.

Yeah, well, it's going to take a lot more than a family meal to sort your problems out.

Don't you dare.

You got something to say, why don't you just say it?

The pair of you is mental. Phil, you've got no right. You're a disaster zone, ain't you?

You reckon we'll come to you for relationship advice?

Have you forgotten what happened last time? How many wives have you had?

Not to mention those who got away. You can't turn the clock back and pretend none of that happened.

No-one's trying to turn anything back. That's what today was about. You playing happy families.

No, we just wanted everyone to stop fighting!

Oh, really? Well, his brother tried to kill me, so excuse me if I don't join in.

If he wanted to kill you, he'd have made a better job of it. Jack!

All over you now, ain't he? Where was he last time you needed him, when you was inside?

I didn't want him. Left you to rot! That's what he did.

You left her to rot! It weren't like that. Listen!

I wanted him to leave me alone. Hang on a minute - where were you? I didn't want anyone.

You're her own cousin. You abandoned her.

No, he didn't. Yes, he did.

Just like he abandoned that psycho son of his! Jack!

If you're back with him...

I don't want you anywhere near me.

Or none of my businesses. Do you understand me? Phil, please don't make me choose.

Family. That's what today was all about, weren't it, Ronnie? You know what? Get out.

Well, you only get one family in life.

To cover your back. To stick with you through thick and thin.

Jack's my family now.

I'm sorry.

(I'm sorry.)
