0:00:24 > 0:00:26The cake.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28I'm picking it up first thing.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30And you've checked it's definitely going to be ready?
0:00:30 > 0:00:31At least five times.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Shirley!
0:00:32 > 0:00:33The buffet?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Ian's said he's dropping it off this evening.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Stick it in the fridge, he said it'll be fine for tomorrow morning.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Can we do this later? I ain't even had my caffeine fix yet.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46No. Soft play?
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Yeah, that's coming tonight an' all.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Oh, yeah. There you are.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51What's that?
0:00:51 > 0:00:53The instructions. How to put it all together.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Where did you get that? It ain't even here yet.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57I downloaded it off the internet last night.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Questions?
0:01:00 > 0:01:02How are you going to get rid of that?
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- What?- That, welded to your hand.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Shirley, it is a big deal. Ollie's only two once.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Yeah and, erm, Linda's coming home.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12And Lady Di.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Yeah, Mick's going to be gutted to miss all this.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Moose.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Now what you ordered?
0:01:17 > 0:01:18He's downstairs.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Moose, as in Lee and Moose?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- I've just let him in. - What does he want?
0:01:22 > 0:01:23To see Whit.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26And is it just Moose? Lee's not with him?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28I think I would have noticed if he was.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Who's Moose?
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Whit...
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Moose.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45What's happened?
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Er, nothing, nothing. I was just passing through.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I didn't know Albert Square was on the way to Afghanistan.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58I'm on leave, actually.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I was in the area, so I thought I'd come and say hello.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Hello.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Hello.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Oh, hello.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Hiya, you all right?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Do you want to grab a drink?
0:02:16 > 0:02:17What?
0:02:17 > 0:02:21At lunchtime? Catch up, really?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I take a break about two.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24See you then.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34You've got a visitor.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Jack.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36You all right, Dot?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38What a nice surprise.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Listen, you ain't got any plans today, have you?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44You see, Amy, she's still covered in spots,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47she can't go to school, she's climbing the walls.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50She's not the only one. I've got Max looking after her and he is, too.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51DOT CHUCKLES
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Look, you wouldn't come over, would you?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59It's not my idea. I mean, Amy, she wants to cook us both some lunch.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Well...
0:03:01 > 0:03:03She's been wandering round since six o'clock this morning.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05She's made a menu and done everything.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08That would be lovely.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Thanks, Dot.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16You seen the fridge?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Yeah, it's over there.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Look inside it.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Why?
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Just do it.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Right, if this is some sort of wind-up...
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Someone's on the wind-up, but it ain't me.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34And it's not just everything in the fridge that's labelled.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36It's everything in them cupboards, as well.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39And in the bathroom, too - all the soap and the shampoo.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Yeah, so now we know. What's yours and what isn't.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46So if any light-fingered tea leaf feels like helping themselves
0:03:46 > 0:03:50to MY pro-biotic yoghurt, there'll be no excuse, will there?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53It'll just be plain and simple pilfering.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Abs, this is a bit over the top, ain't it?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Well, that's easy for you to say.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00All I've labelled of yours is a can of Coke and a few mouldy crisps.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Oh, and that cereal of yours is way past its sell-by date.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06No wonder you lot have been helping yourselves to my stuff.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11Er, it's called house-share. As in "sharing".
0:04:11 > 0:04:14As in "daylight robbery", more like.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Well, now that's sorted...
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I've got a gerbil to settle.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Here.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I didn't want it, don't know why I picked it up.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34You're doing it again, aren't you?
0:04:34 > 0:04:35What?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39You're fussing. Don't do it, don't fuss, all right?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Don't meddle.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44You haven't been, have you?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45- What?- You haven't been meddling?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48You haven't been saying nothing to Denise?
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Last person I want to talk to.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51That's not what I asked you, is it?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I just brought you a cup of coffee, that's all - you're my son,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I can't help worrying about you.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58I've already had one.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Hi Kath, coffee to take away, please.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10- Hiya.- Hey.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Another no?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16That job I went for last week.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Least they bothered to let me know.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Well, there's a special supplement in the Gazette this week.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Won't be too many education posts in that.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Well, it doesn't just have to be education, does it?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Well, that's what I'm trained to do.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Well, yeah, but you could train to do something else.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32That's what I've always done, Sharon.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Beggars can't be choosers.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- I'm not a beggar.- Sharon.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Yet.- See you later.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Ta, Kath.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Happy birthday, Aunty Kath.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Nothing happy about 'em when you get to my age!
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Couldn't even sort myself a day off work! But thank you.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55All right. There you go.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00Can I get two bacon sarnies as well, please, to take away?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Oh, Shrimp, you still all right for the stall later, yeah?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Yeah, should be fine. - Top man, top man.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07What?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10It just goes in one ear, and out the other with you, don't it?
0:06:10 > 0:06:11What does?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Everything I've said. You and your sister.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14You and everyone.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Oh, don't bring Kush and Carmel into this. And as for Michelle...
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- She's the one in the wrong, Stace. - Oh, you're like a broken record.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21What her and Preston did was bang out of order.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Yeah, but he ain't here, is he? She is.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Worse luck.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28And so are we. Me, you and... whoever else is coming along.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31But we don't need her help.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33We ain't going to get it, you carry on like that.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41I can't do this.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Course you can.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45What, go to a family lunch? With all what's going on?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Yeah, but Jack doesn't know that anything's going on.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49When will he? When are you going to tell him?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I've told you, I'm going to tell him when the time is right.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Would you think of this from Matthew's point of view?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Point of view? He's only two! He ain't got a point of view.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Yeah, but he will have when he's older. And if I don't do this now,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04he's going to grow up thinking his actual dad didn't want him.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Didn't want to know. That sound familiar?
0:07:13 > 0:07:14It's for the best.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17It's the best for Matthew and I know you don't want any upset,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20but there'll be a lot more if I don't do what's right for my son.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27I'm a bit busy, Abi.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Why? You don't start work for ages.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Well, I've got Louie to get sorted.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Lauren had to work early this morning
0:07:35 > 0:07:37and we don't have Stacey today. BABY YELLS
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Sorry, what is this?
0:07:39 > 0:07:40What does it look like?
0:07:42 > 0:07:43A rat.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Well, it's a gerbil. Abandoned, the poor thing.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Look, look how cute he is.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Well, yeah, if you like things that look like rats.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Well, kids love him. And they're no fuss.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Just a bit of feed, change his water every now and then.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58He really is the perfect pet.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01If he's so perfect, how come he got abandoned?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Well, he just needs the right home.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07And look, look, Louie - he can't take his eyes off of him!
0:08:12 > 0:08:14All right, fine, I'll try Ricky.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16But it's Louie who is going to miss out.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Well no, hang on. Why don't you leave him here for an hour or so?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Yeah? See how they get on.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25All right, cool. See you later.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26See ya.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Right, what's this all about?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36You really got to ask?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I'm flat out in the Arches.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Still can't believe Ethan and Jerome both jumped ship.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Well, I ain't exactly sunning myself out there on the stall.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46But we can't do this while Abi's in the house, can we?
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Do what?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Do something about all the labels she keeps putting on everything.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52There wouldn't BE any labels -
0:08:52 > 0:08:55she wouldn't even be here - if it weren't for you.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57You have got a key to her room.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59You're the sort of landlords, you must have.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Yeah, so?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04So - get in there, find that fancy label-maker of hers
0:09:04 > 0:09:08and put it in the bin before she starts labelling us an' all.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09She'll find it!
0:09:09 > 0:09:13So stick it where the sun don't shine, smash it into bits,
0:09:13 > 0:09:14I don't care.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16She can always go and get another one.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Have you got any better ideas, or what?
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Yeah.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Might have to pull a few favours. But...
0:09:27 > 0:09:28I think I do...
0:09:28 > 0:09:29HE CHUCKLES
0:09:32 > 0:09:35So Moose is Lee's best friend?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Yeah, as in very best. They're joined at the hip, them two.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41And he didn't say why he wanted to see you?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43He just said he was passing.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Never been "just passing" before.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Well, there's nothing's wrong cos I checked.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Maybe there's something's right.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51What does that mean?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Maybe Lee asked him to come.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56What for?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Only one reason I can think of.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Lee's a dodo. He should never have broken up with you.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Maybe he's finally realised that.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10So why would you send Moose? Why not just come here yourself?
0:10:10 > 0:10:14To prepare the ground? Suss out the lie of the land?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Johnny, you're making him sound like a squaddy on manoeuvres.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Lee isn't to know what kind of reception he'd get if he just turned up out of the blue.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Maybe Moose is here to find out.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41OK.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44I'm on my way.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Erm, I was just about to start doing some weeding.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51If I don't clear this lot soon, it's going to strangle everything.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Give us a hand if you want.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Yeah. Why not?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Well, I hope you're hungry.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Cos Amy's really got the bit between her teeth this time.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Is this all just for us?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Well, do you think I should have invited Charlie, as well?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16I know I could have, but...
0:11:16 > 0:11:19I'm just not ready to sit down and do the happy-families thing
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- right now, Dot.- No.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Take a seat.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Thank you, Jack.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27He has surprised me, though.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30He seems like a decent bloke.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Oi, Woody! What's all this about?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Don't ask me!
0:11:53 > 0:11:55They're everywhere!
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Yeah, they're on the railings, as well.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Well, what does that say?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00"Railing".
0:12:00 > 0:12:03It's probably one of them kinda like school project things or something.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06What, sending their kids out sticking signs on things?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Yeah, yeah, so the kids know where everything is.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12What sort of school would send their kids out labelling things?
0:12:12 > 0:12:16They'd probably get arrested for vandalising public property or something.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I think it's one of them art things.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Do what?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22You know, one of them, what do they call, installations.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25You see 'em all the time over in Shoreditch.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28I ain't seen no bearded hipsters hanging about.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Well, what else can it be?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Sharon's going to see the estate agent later on.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49What, is she thinking of moving away?
0:12:49 > 0:12:53That holiday place her and Phil are thinking of building.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Oh, right.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I remember the first holiday she ever went on.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Clacton, in a caravan with Den and Ange.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05She was so excited that she threw up all over the back seat of the car
0:13:05 > 0:13:08before they'd even pulled off the Square.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Lovely(!) How times change, eh?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Yeah. Certainly have for her and Phil.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17They're going great guns these days.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Who'd have thought it, all those years ago...
0:13:20 > 0:13:22But it's the tortoise and hare, isn't it?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25It ain't how you start, it's how you finish.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27What, you saying Sharon's lucky?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31No, no, she's worked hard, course she has.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34And she's had hard times an' all.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36No, no, I'm not saying she hasn't.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Five minutes, OK?
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Fine.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Yeah, we had a bit of a problem with the tuna salad and the trifle.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04I don't have no problem with tuna and trifle.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05On the same plate?
0:14:05 > 0:14:06SHE LAUGHS
0:14:06 > 0:14:08DOORBELL RINGS
0:14:08 > 0:14:09I'll get that.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16How's Amy?
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Spotty.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Right, well, we've brought this round to show her.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21What, another rat?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- It's a gerbil.- Well, she's already got one, ain't she?
0:14:24 > 0:14:25No. She's got a hamster.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Louie loves it, he's been staring at it all day.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I thought it might take her mind off things.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34She's in the kitchen. But do me a favour, don't let her open it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38The mood she's in she'd probably serve that up for afters.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Right, come on, then, Louie, let's go and see your cousin.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43And remember to give her a nice big hug.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Am I doing it wrong?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55If I'm pulling up something I shouldn't, tell me.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Anything's better than the silent treatment.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Just gets on my nerves a bit, that's all.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- What does?- You and Sharon.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07What's that mean?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Well, you're not where you are and she's not where she is
0:15:09 > 0:15:11because she's the tortoise and you're the hare.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12I never said that.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15You're where you are, 'Chelle, because you screwed up.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19And I'm trying to get my life back on track, aren't I?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I'm trying to put that right.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23What, by applying for all these jobs?
0:15:23 > 0:15:24Well, yeah.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30It's the same thing, though, innit? You and these jobs. You and Preston.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Can we please not start talking about Preston?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35What sort of fantasy world are you living in, 'Chelle?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38No-one is going to touch you for a teaching job, not once they find out what you've done.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42I know, Martin. I could paper the walls with the rejection letters.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45You still think something good's going to happen, though, don't ya?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Just like you did with Preston -
0:15:47 > 0:15:50you must have thought something good was going to happen.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51What exactly was that?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Sounds like an old Rod Stewart song.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04What?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07That sad cow he used to sing about.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Must have been before my time.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Yeah, mine, too.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15One of Mum's old records.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Maggie something.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20May.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21SHE CHUCKLES
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Me and Sharon used to sing it.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Both holding our hairbrushes, pretending they were microphones.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31No, I know. Mum showed me the pictures.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35And I know that's really cool, 'Chelle,
0:16:35 > 0:16:40you know, when you're 15, pretending that you're something you're not.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44It's just a bit sad when you're nearly 50.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Steven brought a gerbil round.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- Did he?- He's a weirdo.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Oh! I don't think you should say things like that, Amy.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01He's probably just brought him round,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03you know, for company for Hammy.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Hamsters and gerbils don't get on.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Oh, yeah, why's that?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Cos hamsters are solitary and gerbils are social.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Everyone knows that.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16How old is she, eight or 18?
0:17:16 > 0:17:17SHE LAUGHS
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Well, there was another reason why I invited you round here.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Oh, what was that?
0:17:21 > 0:17:25I've been thinking about, you know, getting us all away for the summer.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26A family holiday.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Oh, that'd be nice.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Yeah, it would be even nicer if you came.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32And don't worry, I'm not thinking of freebie childcare.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35It's just, after all we've been through,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38it would be nice to get the family together.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39What do you say?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Dot...?
0:17:44 > 0:17:45There won't be.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Won't be what?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49There won't be no holiday.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Well, not the whole family together, anyway.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54What you talking about?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Charlie wants Matthew.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00He wants to take him back with him to Ireland.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11So, where do you want to go?
0:18:12 > 0:18:13What?
0:18:14 > 0:18:15For a drink?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Um...
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Sorry, I didn't actually think...
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Well, look, we could stay here if you want?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Yeah, yeah. Why not?
0:18:29 > 0:18:30OK.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38'Ere, why do they call him Moose?
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Oh!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Oh, I wonder where this is going to go.- Come here!
0:18:50 > 0:18:53There we go. It's not really accurate, though, is it?
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Don't quite fit the bill.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Oh, really?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57This should be fun!
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I was hoping to see you guys.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Yeah? What about?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I just wanted to say thank you.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I've just been back to the house. I still haven't settled that gerbil.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08But there was really no need.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I know that the TV is yours, you didn't have to label it
0:19:11 > 0:19:13and everything else.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17You guys have really got into the spirit of all this, haven't you?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20And I thought this morning was going to be such an uphill struggle.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23But seeing as we're all in the mood to get ourselves organised...
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Er, what are these?
0:19:28 > 0:19:29This...
0:19:29 > 0:19:32is a cleaning rota.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34And a washing-up rota, too.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Days of the week at the top and who does what underneath.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- I can't even believe you'd think something like this. - I'm thinking about my son.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46No, you're not! After all that boy's been through, now you want to take that away from him an' all?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I mean, he's supposed to be losing his home, as well?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I'm going to give him a home. A proper home. With his dad.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52And a mum.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58You came to see Matthew, right? To help. Not to tear my family apart.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- I meant all of that. - Then what's happened?
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Then I saw you. Saw what you're like.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- Oh, yeah, what does that mean? - You're in no fit state to do this!
0:20:05 > 0:20:07And I'm not saying I ain't sympathetic,
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- but I'm not going to leave my son with someone just cos I feel sorry for them.- Matthew needs stability!
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- And that's exactly what he's going to get.- He's already got it here, all right? He doesn't even know you!
0:20:15 > 0:20:17He'll get to know me, he'll adjust, that's what kids do.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Adjust?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21And he'll grow up with his dad and a mum who's going to love him
0:20:21 > 0:20:23like her own, not you and a whole procession of baby sitters.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26You see, I had you right from the start, didn't I?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I knew I shouldn't have trusted you.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- I should've known you'd go behind my back.- I'm not going behind anyone's back.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34You've already admitted it!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36You told me you're going for custody of Matthew.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Residence.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38What?
0:20:40 > 0:20:41That's what it's called.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46You really have been doing your homework, haven't you?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48According to my brief, I'm going to get it, end of story.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50End of story?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53What do you think this is, some sort of game?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I've got nothing more to say.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Yeah, well, I've got plenty.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58PHONE RINGS
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- 'Jack...' - Dot. I'll be there in a minute.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07'Please. Please!'
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Bit strange, this, innit?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17What is?
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Seeing you without Lee.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23You been in touch with him lately, or...?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Yeah, actually, I have.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31He tried to phone me earlier in the week.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I know. He told me.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39So, did he say...
0:21:39 > 0:21:40what that was about?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45I was giving him an earful, actually.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49I don't know how he could do it in the first place, if I'm honest.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- Do what?- Walk out on you.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57I mean, you're everything any fella would want.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59You're beautiful and you're smart.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02You haven't answered my question.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Why did Lee call me?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Never mind Lee for a minute, all right?
0:22:11 > 0:22:15You are one of the most amazing girls I've ever met
0:22:15 > 0:22:17and I want you to know that.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21All right, just don't worry about Lee, OK?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I'm talking about you.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Moose. Erm...
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Listen, um...
0:22:30 > 0:22:34I think you're really nice, but, erm...
0:22:34 > 0:22:37No, wait, I'm not... I'm not coming onto you.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Ain't you?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- No.- Well, then, what is all this?
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Oh, God, d'you know what...
0:22:50 > 0:22:54I love Lee like a brother but I think I actually hate him right now.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Why, what are you talking about?
0:22:59 > 0:23:00OK.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Erm...
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Lee...
0:23:06 > 0:23:08..sent me here...
0:23:10 > 0:23:11..to talk to you.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14He didn't think he'd get a warm welcome if he'd come himself.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15So why...
0:23:16 > 0:23:21Why did Lee ask you to come and see me?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26He wanted me to tell you something.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41If looks could kill.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45She'd be six feet under by now.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Well, it doesn't matter how old they get,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50they're still your little kid, aren't they? If they get hurt...
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- So word got out, then.- Hmm.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Why did she hurt Kush, though? That's what I don't understand.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Well, sometimes things just don't work out, do they, Carmel?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05She's not the person I thought she was, Sharon.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07How do you mean?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Well, look what she's been like lately.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13She takes up with Kush, then she dumps him.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15She gets all gung-ho about community,
0:24:15 > 0:24:17then when they say they're going to close the Community Centre,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19you don't hear a peep out of her.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22She gets everyone involved with everything,
0:24:22 > 0:24:26then she locks the door and hardly puts her nose outside.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31She's not right in the head, she can't be.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Kush should thank his lucky stars he saw her true colours in time.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53So?
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Was it something to do with Lee?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Whit, if he has had second thoughts,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04why not give him another chance, yeah?
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Just look after the bar for me for five minutes, all right?
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Mick, it's me.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I know I shouldn't be leaving you messages like this.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31But I need ya.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35I really need ya.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Everything all right?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Yeah, fine.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Don't exactly look like it.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Lee wants a divorce.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56He's been to see a solicitor.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59I should be hearing something in the next few days.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02It's not even been 12 months yet.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04He couldn't have told you that himself?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07He phoned earlier in the week. That's probably what it was about.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10He could have phoned me again, though, couldn't he?
0:26:10 > 0:26:14I don't know why I'm like this, it's not like I couldn't see it coming.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Yeah, but it's still a shock even if you did know it was coming.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Yeah, and d'you know, I know where I stand now.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23So it's probably a good thing. In the end.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24I'm going to get back to the bar.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26No, no, no. We can manage.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Well, don't let the boss hear you say that.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Well, it'll be our little secret, all right?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54On the day of Ronnie's funeral I made a promise.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57I promised my kids I'd never leave them.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I promised Ricky, I promised Amy and I promised Matthew.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05So far as I'm concerned, that's written in blood.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08My wife's blood.
