00:00:00You okay? Yeah, absolutely.
00:00:22You're shaking. Oh, I think I'm not feeling a hundred percent.
00:00:29It's not my cooking. Oh, no, no, that was lovely. It's just a cold or maybe a starter.
00:00:38It's yours. It's Bob. Is he a problem? No, nothing I can't deal with. So, do you want me to
00:00:50speak to him? Oh, no, no, no. He's used to dealing with me, so. Hello? Bob, yeah. Oh,
00:00:56why are you calling me so early? What's the problem? How many times do I have to tell
00:01:01you? I need the deliveries to be made on time and with no excuses. Okay? I expect to see
00:01:06you as previously arranged. All right. Treat them mean. That's the only way. Going back
00:01:13to bed? Yeah, maybe. I'll see how I feel later. And? You shouldn't do that, you know. How
00:01:32was your romantic meal for two? I could have chopped your finger off. So? It was fine.
00:01:37You know she's been distant. It's not ours, you and me. Like I said. Yeah, well, if it's
00:01:46not ours, nothing. It's nothing. Okay, well, look after yourself and maybe I'll pop by
00:02:02later to see how you are. Oh, no, no need. You know, I'll just take it easy and get some
00:02:06rest. Listen, can you please let Jane know that the book club's cancelled today? I mean,
00:02:12we were going to meet up. Yeah, of course. Okay. All right, then. Bye. A cold. She says
00:02:30she's got a cold. She's not coming in today. Oh, poor thing. Well, that explains everything.
00:02:34She's just not feeling very well. Yeah, probably. Oh, and what about the book club at lunchtime?
00:02:39It's her book. Maybe you should go ahead as planned. Keep an eye on her for me. What?
00:02:43I mean, you know, see how she is. Make sure she's okay. Might even cheer her up. I hate
00:02:49the thought of her sitting there by herself. Nothing to do. Who is it? It's us. The book
00:03:07club. No, no, no. It's cancelled. I'm ill. Are you going to let us in? No. What? Oh,
00:03:14I need a wee. You know, I did tell Mas to tell you. Open up, Zeynab. We've come to
00:03:19cheer you up. Okay, just a minute. Hurry up. Yes, yes, yes, I'm coming. Oh, come in, come
00:03:33in. I'm probably contagious, you know. That's yours. Stupid man. What? I quite clearly told
00:03:45Masoud that the book club was cancelled. What? And we've read the book and everything. What
00:03:49do you think, we might cheer you up? And has it worked? You do look a bit peaky, actually.
00:03:54I have got a cold. Well, have you tried honey and lemon? Yeah, Mummy used to make me gargle
00:03:59with some water. Let's get started, then, shall we? Zeynab, she's not feeling very well.
00:04:03Chocolate. A metaphor for sin or for fulfilment? When Fianne opens her shop to the townsfolk and
00:04:11offers them her chocolates, is she tempting them into sin or is she offering them a last chance to
00:04:17go on a voyage of self-discovery? Is that what it says on the back? Yeah, I think my cold is
00:04:25getting worse. Yeah, but chocolate, it's not a sin, though, is it? I think you should go,
00:04:28all of you. So, what you're saying is that all these people living in the village,
00:04:32their boring hum-drum lives, this is their last chance for a bit of excitement? That's right. They
00:04:40should grasp the opportunity for something wonderful in their lives, well, before it's too
00:04:45late. It doesn't always work out that way, though, does it? Well, if you want something magical in
00:04:49your life, darling, you've got to take a risk, haven't you? Where is it? Oh, yeah, yeah, look,
00:04:56I've got it. Look, this bit here, look. Oh, that's food pornography. It's fantastic, isn't it?
00:05:05You can always taste the chocolate. I don't like my mouth water. Where's the other bit? Yeah, here it is.
00:05:12Thank you all so much for coming. I'm feeling much better now. You know what you need? Oh, no,
00:05:32what do I need? Chicken soup. Oh, I love chicken soup. Ah, great, excellent. I will go into the
00:05:36kitchen and make some immediately. Great book. Thank you, bye-bye. Chocolate special. Jane. You scared the life out of me. How was she? You are in such deep... What? You were meant to cancel the book club? Right, yeah, I, yeah. Was she alone? Yeah, she was alone.
00:06:06Was I spying on her? Well, not really spying. You used me, I can't believe you used me to spy on your wife. You were making it sound a bit worse than it is. Yeah, OK, look, I'm sorry, I just didn't know what to do. I think she's seeing someone. Zaynab? She's a very attractive woman. She wouldn't. His name is Bob. Bob? Zaynab's having an affair and his name is Bob? Yeah.
00:06:37What? I don't know. She said she was ill. I just wanted to make sure. She wasn't with Bob? Oh, don't laugh at me, Jane. Oh, look, this is daft. Go home and see for yourself. Zaynab's at home alone, nursing a cold.
00:06:49Zaynab? Z? Zaynab?
00:07:19Zaynab?
00:07:47How are you feeling? Oh, much better. Shouldn't you be at the unit? I was worried about you. No need. So I see. You look nice. Oh, yeah, I was just trying to cheer myself up. Where have you been? Went out for a walk.
00:08:17Want some tea?
00:08:47Um, actually, I've got to go out again. Where are you going? It's a friend of mine. She's not very well. Who?
00:09:09Hi. Sick of the invalid? What did I tell you? Where's she upstairs? She had to go out to meet a friend. You're paranoid. You know that? Am I? I've got evidence. Her phone. It's full of text messages from Bob. Hang on a minute. This is her phone we're talking about? No, I borrowed it. You know who you sound like? My husband.
00:09:36He says he's a supplier and I'm not allowed to speak to him. She arranges secret meetings with him. She even gets dressed up. Have you seen her? She looks fantastic. Masoud, yesterday you were telling me how easy it is to get the wrong impression. She said she's looking forward to meeting him.
00:09:51It's a business meeting. She's an attractive woman and if he's being awkward, well, why shouldn't she use her feminine charms? I would. You have to trust her. Trust your wife, Masoud.
00:10:01Do you never answer your phone? It's just me again. Look, it's already gone five. Call me if there's a problem, okay? Bye.
00:10:31Hi, Mom.
00:10:57Hi, Mom.
00:11:15What?
00:11:16Nothing.
00:11:17Tell me.
00:11:19I don't know. I guess I was preparing myself for you to be different.
00:11:24Still me, I think.
00:11:25Hair needs a trim. Slightly thinner, maybe.
00:11:27Slightly?
00:11:28I knew you wouldn't eat properly. If you told me where you were going to be, then I would have sent you...
00:11:31Mom.
00:11:32Sorry. So, do you live nearby?
00:11:38Not too far. I've got a place in Hammersmith.
00:11:41All this time?
00:11:42No, I was in Leeds for three years before that.
00:11:45When I left for work that day, what was the last thing you said to me?
00:11:59Don't forget the daal.
00:12:10You see? I didn't.
00:12:23Don't feel too bad, does it?
00:12:27You know, this could be us. You, me, Amy. A little family.
00:12:46What?
00:12:50I'm really sorry, Jack. I'm sorry.
00:12:54Roxy?
00:12:57Rox?
00:12:59No, Jack, why?
00:13:03And Tambo is all set to go to Oxford?
00:13:05Yeah, you mentioned that. Good old Tambo.
00:13:08What?
00:13:09Nobody calls him that anymore.
00:13:11How about Tim Tam?
00:13:12No.
00:13:13Tamasina?
00:13:14That's just crude.
00:13:15Tampon.
00:13:17Oh, you be quiet.
00:13:20Tell you, that is one thing I have not missed.
00:13:22You make it so easy.
00:13:25With your father and you winding me up day in, day out.
00:13:32How is Dad?
00:13:34He's fine.
00:13:38Does he...
00:13:40Oh, no, no, it doesn't matter.
00:13:41Now say.
00:13:42Oh, forget it. I know the answer anyway.
00:13:44Say.
00:13:46Look, Mum, you know what I did.
00:13:50You don't have to pretend that you don't.
00:13:57I need you to understand.
00:14:00I never meant to hurt our family.
00:14:02The money I was taking, I was expecting it to come back tenfold.
00:14:06You were a young man, okay? Young men make mistakes.
00:14:10But you didn't have to stay away.
00:14:12I didn't have a choice.
00:14:13When Dad said I had to leave...
00:14:14Exiled like a leper. I could kill him.
00:14:16Look, he was furious. I understand that.
00:14:20Sorry if it made things difficult between you.
00:14:24You don't have to worry about that. We're fine.
00:14:28Now I need you to understand something.
00:14:30If I'd have known the truth, I would never have played along.
00:14:35What did he tell you?
00:14:37That you argued.
00:14:39That you left.
00:14:40That there was to be no more conflict.
00:14:42He told me to leave.
00:14:43I know that now.
00:14:45But at the time, I thought that you'd just lost your temper.
00:14:47I thought this would all be worked out within a week or two.
00:14:53I hope you didn't sit around moping.
00:14:54I hope you forgot all about your silly old mother.
00:15:01Well...
00:15:03The first couple of weeks were a bit upsetting, but...
00:15:07Then, you know, I...
00:15:09Kind of got used to it.
00:15:15You! You!
00:15:23It was hard, Mum.
00:15:27It was really hard.
00:15:33You look like a depressed panda.
00:15:37Baby wipe.
00:15:43How long have you felt like this?
00:15:45A while.
00:15:48You want to go out with Jack Brown?
00:15:50Stop it. I'm not 12.
00:15:53Anyway, it's not an option.
00:15:55Why Ronnie?
00:15:56She's just lost Danielle.
00:15:58She can't even bring herself to talk about him, and until...
00:16:03Until that changes, it's not going to happen.
00:16:07Here.
00:16:10You needed money when you contacted Tamwar.
00:16:14You think this is what I wanted to meet?
00:16:16I didn't know. I just assumed...
00:16:17I don't need this, Mum.
00:16:19Just take it, Sai, okay?
00:16:21Buy something for your flat.
00:16:23Some decent linen and towels.
00:16:25Every house should have decent linen and towels.
00:16:27It isn't a hovel.
00:16:29How should I know that, Sai?
00:16:31How should I know anything?
00:16:33I mean, after all these years, I have questions, so many of them,
00:16:37but I forget the most important ones.
00:16:39Mum...
00:16:40I don't even know if you want to be here with me,
00:16:42or if you have other places to be.
00:16:47And you're my son.
00:16:53It's still early.
00:16:55You seem to think I have plans.
00:16:57I don't want to interfere.
00:16:58I have all my plans.
00:17:13Come on.
00:17:22Are you sure we can park here?
00:17:24Only if you're a resident.
00:17:27Here?
00:17:29You live here?
00:17:30I live up there.
00:17:34Nothing between me and the sky.
00:17:44What's this?
00:17:45I've been doing some work on the christening.
00:17:47I spoke to the vicar.
00:17:48He said that Sunday is fine,
00:17:50only we need to show our faces before then.
00:17:52So I thought I could take Amy this weekend
00:17:53and put her in that little pinafore dress.
00:17:55Are we inviting to this?
00:17:56Oh, come on, don't be like that.
00:17:58Aunty Peggy?
00:17:59She's not going to be here?
00:18:00Yes, she will.
00:18:01I found her.
00:18:02She's coming back specially.
00:18:03Are you kidding?
00:18:04Jack?
00:18:05Yeah.
00:18:06He's Amy's father.
00:18:07Of course he's going to be there.
00:18:09And you're okay with that?
00:18:11Of course I'm fine.
00:18:12Now, why don't you take the list over to him
00:18:14and see if he wants anybody else there?
00:18:15I don't think he'd be interested.
00:18:17Oh, come on, Rox.
00:18:18You're Amy's mum and dad, okay?
00:18:20We're all going to have to find a way to get on.
00:18:22I really don't want to see him right now.
00:18:24Okay, fine.
00:18:25Look, I'll do it.
00:18:49Oh, my.
00:18:51So what do you think?
00:18:54It's amazing.
00:18:58It's incredible.
00:18:59I'm stupefied.
00:19:10I have missed you.
00:19:14And there was me worrying that you were struggling
00:19:16to put food on the table.
00:19:18But look at this place.
00:19:20Oh, your father would love that.
00:19:23How doesn't he get one?
00:19:24Oh, he could.
00:19:25But you'd sulk.
00:19:27Sulk? Me?
00:19:29You are the Incredible Sulk.
00:19:31I'm what?
00:19:32Shabby's nickname for you, don't you remember?
00:19:34Maybe that was one we kept to ourselves.
00:19:37The Incredible Sulk.
00:19:39Shabnam, you say?
00:19:40Yeah, but I think she picked it up from the women at mosque.
00:19:45Gotcha.
00:19:46I should have known.
00:19:48Me.
00:19:49Sulky.
00:19:50How ridiculous.
00:19:53Oh, look at this kitchen.
00:19:56Makes Nigella's look like a school canteen.
00:19:59I tell you, your father could have ten televisions
00:20:02if I could have a kitchen like this.
00:20:05Oh, sorry.
00:20:10You must have made a good living in Leeds.
00:20:12Yeah.
00:20:14I had a little property company.
00:20:16Everything was great until the market crashed.
00:20:19Then I was left with two top-end apartments I couldn't shift.
00:20:22I had to walk away.
00:20:24Oh, everybody struggled.
00:20:26It was just bad timing.
00:20:28No, it was stupid.
00:20:30But I learned from it.
00:20:32Managed to land a job with an estate agency down here.
00:20:35They let me go before Christmas,
00:20:37but they still throw me a bit of freelance work.
00:20:39Aim is to get a bit of money together,
00:20:41start the company again.
00:20:43You'll be a huge success.
00:20:45I mean, look at this place, Saeed.
00:20:47By anyone's standard, you already are.
00:20:54I'm proud of you, Popo.
00:20:57It's just a box, Mum.
00:20:59Just a box sitting on top of a stack of boxes.
00:21:03It didn't mean anything till you walked through the door.
00:21:09It's making up for lost time.
00:21:18Oh.
00:21:42I do cook most nights.
00:21:44You should hope so.
00:21:46When you eventually have a family, your wife will appreciate it.
00:21:49Your children too.
00:21:53These pictures...
00:21:57Do they mean something?
00:21:59Do they have to?
00:22:03Spit it out.
00:22:04I'm not spitting anything.
00:22:06Come on, Mum.
00:22:07I was just saying, Saeed.
00:22:08Mum.
00:22:09OK, you know what?
00:22:10It wouldn't kill you to display a few photographs of your family on the wall.
00:22:13There, I've said it.
00:22:16There.
00:22:21Oh.
00:22:25Lahore!
00:22:28Do you know, I remember the first time
00:22:30that Masood's family ever saw you.
00:22:32I was so proud.
00:22:34Dadaji and Dadiji, they couldn't stop smiling.
00:22:36And your aunts and uncles,
00:22:38they passed you around on their knees like a tree of halwa.
00:22:40I remember there was lots of kissing going on.
00:22:42And then Pappu who snared and took you to a fortune teller.
00:22:45Really?
00:22:48He was sat by the roadside
00:22:50and he had a parrot on his shoulder.
00:22:52And it was the parrot that told the fortune.
00:22:54What?
00:22:55I know it sounds ridiculous, but...
00:22:57What did he say?
00:23:01Oh, it was all the usual stuff, you know.
00:23:04Like he said that you must always love Allah, subhanAllah.
00:23:08He gave you a few kalmas to read.
00:23:10Is that it?
00:23:12And he said...
00:23:16Ma'am?
00:23:21He said you were a lone traveller in this world
00:23:24and that you could never truly be known.
00:23:30And I gave him his five rupees
00:23:32and we walked away
00:23:34and I smiled.
00:23:36Because I knew you.
00:23:39And I also knew
00:23:41that you would never be alone as long as I lived.
00:23:46Oh, Mum.
00:23:50You still know me.
00:23:52You're Saeed.
00:23:55And how long before I see you again?
00:23:57Another four years?
00:23:59Ten?
00:24:00Of course not. Every week, if you like.
00:24:02I would like.
00:24:04At least until I move.
00:24:08Move?
00:24:09The plan is to make some money down here and spend it up north.
00:24:12On what?
00:24:13Flats, houses.
00:24:14Why can't you do that here?
00:24:15Everything costs so much more.
00:24:17Well, surely there must be some bargains around at the moment.
00:24:19If you know where to look.
00:24:22I had a tour round a development over the road.
00:24:24Builder went bust.
00:24:26Ten flats up for sale.
00:24:28A year ago they were on the market for 300 grand.
00:24:31You could probably pick one up for 150 tops.
00:24:34Less than they cost to build.
00:24:35So why don't you buy one of those?
00:24:37It's not that easy.
00:24:39No one's going to give me a decent mortgage with my money.
00:24:42No one's going to give me a decent mortgage with my history.
00:24:45Banks are asking for 25% deposit.
00:24:49That's 35 grand.
00:24:51If I move, I can get started for half that.
00:24:54And you would have no trouble selling that property on?
00:24:56Well, this location.
00:24:58It'd fly out.
00:25:00Maybe take a month or two.
00:25:02But as long as you market it for under 250...
00:25:05250,000?
00:25:07Budget 10 grand for tightening the place up.
00:25:09Another 10 for stamp duty, agency fees, mortgage interest.
00:25:15Still clear 80 grand profit.
00:25:17Thank you very much.
00:25:18In a property slum?
00:25:19That's what most people think.
00:25:21Not that there's a great deal of thinking going on.
00:25:24The whole world's paralysed by fear.
00:25:29But there are a fearless few.
00:25:31Scrambling round the ruins, sniffing out opportunities...
00:25:34and grabbing them with both hands.
00:25:37I told you I made mistakes before.
00:25:40I got sucked into the herd.
00:25:43Never again.
00:25:45Now's the time to be brave.
00:25:50Right now.
00:25:57Thought you might have popped round.
00:25:58Yeah, why's that then?
00:25:59Explain why you ran out on me earlier.
00:26:01I thought that would be obvious.
00:26:03Oh, not to me.
00:26:05Me and Amy make sense.
00:26:07You might have to work a little bit harder than that, Jack.
00:26:09I guess that's worth me putting in a few extra hours on the worrying front, then, is it?
00:26:12I never said that, all right? Can we just stick to talking about Amy?
00:26:15Whatever you say.
00:26:17All right, well, that list for the christening...
00:26:19if you want to put any family members down, it's fine. I'll just send out the invites.
00:26:22The christening list?
00:26:23Yeah, Ronnie brought it round to you.
00:26:25Ronnie?
00:26:27Well, she took one look at me earlier and turned on her heels.
00:26:29Right, right, OK.
00:26:31All right. Never mind.
00:26:34Look, why don't we go out tomorrow, you and me?
00:26:37We'll talk about Amy.
00:26:38Not gonna happen.
00:26:39Yeah, well, I thought wrong too, all right?
00:26:41Looks like everyone's sending out false signals tonight.
00:26:53Finally. You've had your phone off all night.
00:26:57Where are you?
00:26:59Bushra?
00:27:01Eva Lembis' Bushra?
00:27:03Yeah, I think maybe I misjudged her, ma'am.
00:27:06Listen, I've got to go. I'm on the bus. I'll be home in about five minutes.
00:27:09OK, love you.
00:27:17I've imagined this moment so often.
00:27:20Sitting outside the house,
00:27:23walking up to the front door,
00:27:25ringing the bell.
00:27:27Soon.
00:27:29It's your home.
00:27:31Not sure Dad would agree.
00:27:32Your dad comes around to most things in the end.
00:27:38You don't have to do this.
00:27:42I'd do the same for Shravanam and Tamwar.
00:27:45Besides, it's a good investment.
00:27:48I'm joining the ranks of the fearless few.
00:27:53And Dad?
00:27:57You leave your father to me.
00:28:03We'll discover your little secret if you're not careful.
00:28:06What secret's that?
00:28:08I'm breaking you around for cups of tea.
00:28:11There are worse secrets.
00:28:16Mas.
00:28:18I've been thinking about our future.
00:28:26I've been thinking about our future.
00:28:30OK.
00:28:32Well, I know that we don't have much in terms of savings right now,
00:28:36but I was wondering
00:28:39if this might not be the perfect time to start planning for our retirement.
00:28:44I picked this up yesterday.
00:28:47So you won't even consider it?
00:28:49Nope.
00:28:50It's a good investment.
00:28:52It may well be.
00:28:54We have no pension.
00:28:56And relatively little debt.
00:28:58Now is the time to be brave.
00:29:00Just think about it.
00:29:02OK.
00:29:04I'll think about it.
00:29:06I'll think about it.
00:29:08I'll think about it.
00:29:10I'll think about it.
00:29:12I'll think about it.
00:29:14OK.
00:29:16There. Thunk.
00:29:18Answer's still no.
00:29:20So what are we going to do when we get older?
00:29:22Are we just going to curl up under a blanket and wait to die?
00:29:25Possibly.
00:29:27Why are you behaving like this?
00:29:29Being rational.
00:29:31No, being so obtuse.
00:29:33It's like I don't even know you.
00:29:35Snap.
00:29:38We have hit the bottom of the market.
00:29:41This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
00:29:43You sound like the bold type in a timeshare ad.
00:29:45Don't patronise me.
00:29:47Do you know how people make money?
00:29:49Do you know how they afford those big houses that we once dreamt of owning?
00:29:53By going out on a limb, by being brave.
00:29:55Brave. There's being brave and there's being stupid.
00:29:58If you want me to be stupid, I can be stupid.
00:30:01I can tell you a few jokes, dance around in my pants.
00:30:04But what I won't do is gamble our future on the unknown.
00:30:08And if you think I will, then you really don't know me at all.
00:30:10Yeah, and if you think that I will settle for a life without risk,
00:30:12then you really don't know me at all. Risk! Risk!
00:30:14We've just started a business
00:30:16while the world explodes into financial Armageddon.
00:30:19How much more risk do you want?
00:30:30I thought I was the one due a midlife crisis.
00:30:40Morning.
00:30:47I'm glad someone's got something to celebrate.
00:30:49Look, Jack, if this is about last night...
00:30:51No, it's about this morning. I got called up by Christian.
00:30:54Next time you've got something to say, you say it to me.
00:30:56Christian is my best mate, all right, and his aim is Godfather,
00:30:58and I will say what I like to him when I like.
00:31:00Godparent?
00:31:02Since when did we discuss godparents?
00:31:04Since when have we been in a position to discuss anything, Jack?
00:31:07If you're not threatening me with lawyer's letters, you're trying to kiss me.
00:31:09It's all just a little bit too confusing. It's too much.
00:31:13Yeah, all right, look, you're right.
00:31:16I'm sorry, all right, it's just hard trying to deal with all this stuff.
00:31:19It's all right. Just deal with it, yeah? Deal with it.
00:31:21Because I can't deal with someone who doesn't know what they want.
00:31:23I know what I want.
00:31:25Do you?
00:31:30Jack was just offering to look after Amy.
00:31:32Well, I've got her ready to go with us.
00:31:34That's fine.
00:31:36Just an offer. Take it or leave it.
00:31:45Yes, I told him exactly what you told me.
00:31:48In a once-in-a-lifetime, I said all of that.
00:31:51No, no, no, this is going to be harder than I thought.
00:31:53I mean, once he digs his heels in...
00:31:57OK, well, just leave it with me, darling, OK?
00:32:00I'll try again later.
00:32:02All right, see you then. Bye.
00:32:06Hello?
00:32:09Hello?
00:32:11Er, yeah, it's just me.
00:32:18Look, I, er...
00:32:20I just wanted to apologise about this morning.
00:32:23No, no, no, no, I'm sorry.
00:32:25I just shoved everything under your nose
00:32:27and I know you were still working.
00:32:29So is there anything you want to tell me?
00:32:31Oh, later.
00:32:33I've got to get the dahl to the stall.
00:32:35OK, I'll bring it and you go and set out.
00:32:39Sorry.

00:33:33Hi, Mum.
00:33:36Mum?
00:33:50GRUNTS
00:34:00I thought you were bringing the food.
00:34:03What's the matter?
00:34:05Home. Now. I'm sorry?
00:34:07You wouldn't want other people to hear this.
00:34:10I understood.
00:34:13I know.
00:34:29SIREN WAILS
00:34:35Before you start, um...
00:34:37I want you to know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:34:40Don't.
00:34:43Ha!
00:34:46What?
00:34:48I was beginning to think you were having an affair.
00:34:53How could you even think that?
00:34:55I suspect you. Betraying me. How completely absurd!
00:35:00How long has this been going on?
00:35:03I saw him for the first time yesterday.
00:35:05Is that the truth? Of course it is.
00:35:07Right, so one meeting and he's already wheedling money out of us.
00:35:10That's my boy! Don't talk about him like that. I'm sorry?
00:35:13He doesn't deserve to be spoken about like that.
00:35:17He's trying to live his life on his own.
00:35:21Think he doesn't know how you feel?
00:35:24He knows exactly how you feel and it is killing him.
00:35:27Why do you think he stayed away all this time?
00:35:29Oh, because he stole money from us, maybe?
00:35:31That was four years ago!
00:35:33He knows he was wrong. He wants to pay us back.
00:35:36Oh, by taking more money. Brilliant.
00:35:38He's crushed, Matt.
00:35:40Oh, and did he manage to shed a tear? Did he cry?
00:35:42You're not going to be satisfied until he's crawled in here,
00:35:45knelt at your feet and begged your forgiveness.
00:35:47Wrong, wrong, wrong!
00:35:52I don't care about him.
00:35:55It's you I won't forgive. Not now.
00:36:00You knew how much this meant to me.
00:36:03I implored you, you promised.
00:36:05A promise between husband and wife and you broke it.
00:36:13He's my son.
00:36:16And I'm your husband.
00:36:20But then I never did get equal billing, did I?
00:36:23Bye.
00:36:24I've just seen the weirdest thing.
00:36:26There was this homeless guy playing a banjo.
00:36:32OK.
00:36:34Is someone going to tell me why you're giving each other death stares?
00:36:41Did he ask about me?
00:36:43Ask about... He did not stop.
00:36:45It was tambo this, tambo that.
00:36:47Tambo?
00:36:48Well, he was still tambo when he left.
00:36:50You're still his little brother.
00:36:52I know that he'd love to see you.
00:36:57I don't think I want to see him right now, Mum.
00:37:02Exam's coming up and I need to focus.
00:37:04Yeah, of course.
00:37:06We could arrange something in the summer, maybe.
00:37:08Maybe, yeah.
00:37:14Where's the flat?
00:37:16Hammersmith.
00:37:17The address.
00:37:19Why do you want the address?
00:37:23You say he's changed.
00:37:25I want to see this new Saeed for myself.
00:37:33Dad.
00:37:34Saeed.
00:37:39So you're going to invite me in, then?
00:37:43Yes. Yeah, of course.
00:37:53Ooh.
00:37:55So this is it?
00:37:58Yeah.
00:37:59How long you been here?
00:38:03A couple of months.
00:38:05Before that, I was...
00:38:06Yeah, yeah, your mother told me the missing years.
00:38:09OK.
00:38:13Nice telly.
00:38:16It's 1080p resolution.
00:38:18Enhanced picture crystallisation,
00:38:20sports gearing, superdynamic sound.
00:38:22Superdynamic sound? Wow!
00:38:24Do you know what superdynamic sound is?
00:38:26Does anybody? No.
00:38:29Cos it's just words.
00:38:31Words strung together in some flash marketing office
00:38:34to entice fools to buy their products now.
00:38:40She asked me what I was up to.
00:38:42I told her I was going to buy a property, build up my business again.
00:38:45She said she wanted to come in with me, buy one here.
00:38:47It was her idea.
00:38:48Yeah, of course it was.
00:38:49Go home and ask her.
00:38:50She'd tell me anything if she thought it'd get you off the hook.
00:38:53So now you distrust your wife as well as your son.
00:38:55Notice a pattern here.
00:38:56How dare you!
00:39:01I'm sorry.
00:39:04That was wrong.
00:39:07It was me. I know it was me.
00:39:09You're damn right it was you.
00:39:11And I'm sorry. Dad, look at me.
00:39:18Dad!
00:39:20Look at me.
00:39:29I'm sorry I took the money.
00:39:31You ruined our business.
00:39:33Have you any idea what I've been through in the last four years?
00:39:36Just...
00:39:37What?
00:39:38Nothing.
00:39:39Oh, tell me what.
00:39:40I made a mistake.
00:39:42I hold my hands up.
00:39:44But I never asked you to take the blame.
00:39:48Tell me, what would you have done?
00:39:50Hmm?
00:39:51In my shoes?
00:39:54I would have told the truth.
00:39:57You weren't grateful.
00:40:01I knew I shouldn't have come.
00:40:02Dad, please, just tell me what to do. I'll do it.
00:40:04You should be thanking me.
00:40:06Do you want me down on my knees?
00:40:07Si, come on.
00:40:08I'll kiss them. I'll even beg for your forgiveness.
00:40:10But thank you for taking the blame.
00:40:12No.
00:40:13Because the minute you did that, you drove me away.
00:40:16I couldn't come home to my family
00:40:18because I'd have to watch you playing the secret martyr.
00:40:20There you are. You're twisting your words.
00:40:22I'm telling you how I felt.
00:40:30Why are you here, Dad?
00:40:32I'm here because I wanted to...
00:40:39Oh, you're just the same you and your mother, aren't you?
00:40:42Always hatching some kind of plan behind my back, but no more.
00:40:47You won't get a penny from us.
00:40:51If you only came to tell me you hated me, you could have used the phone.
00:40:56Say it.
00:40:59I don't hate you.
00:41:05Dad, please, stay a while.
00:41:13To be honest, there were times when I was glad you were gone.
00:41:17Felt littlest like a stranger in my own home.
00:41:20If I'm honest, it wasn't a totally negative experience for me either.
00:41:24Maybe every family should try it.
00:41:31I will pay you back.
00:41:34Every single penny.
00:41:36And I'll prove to you I'm worthy of being your son.
00:41:42Right, so where do we go from here?
00:41:45Dunno.
00:41:48Near the hugging stage?
00:41:54Rog, I thought you were going to text before you came back.
00:41:56So you could hide the birds.
00:41:58Dad, we should go.
00:41:59Dad? Good to meet you, Mr Massoud.
00:42:03I'm Roger, a friend of Saeed's.
00:42:05Your son would be my all-time favourite tenant if he actually paid any rent.
00:42:12Come on.
00:42:19They're safe from most predators.
00:42:21But the fact is that two-thirds of them are probably not his.
00:42:25If your father's not back yet, then they must be getting along now.
00:42:28...mates with three or four males...
00:42:30Yes.
00:42:31...who build the nests and look after the broods.
00:42:34Dad, stop.
00:42:36Is this how you work your scam?
00:42:38Come and look at my lovely apartment. You too could be a success like me.
00:42:41It isn't a scam. Everything else was true.
00:42:43Of course it was.
00:42:44I just wanted to make Mum proud. Is that such a bad thing?
00:42:46No, making your Mum proud is good. That's a good thing.
00:42:49But this is wrong.
00:42:51Maybe I've got myself to blame.
00:42:54I brought you up to be whatever you are, and I'm sorry I did such a terrible thing.
00:42:58Maybe I've got myself to blame.
00:43:00I brought you up to be whatever you are, and I'm sorry I did such a terrible job.
00:43:05Dad, don't walk away, please.
00:43:09I'm in trouble.
00:43:13I've got no job, no money.
00:43:17Unless I find rent money for next week, nowhere to live.
00:43:23So, instead of coming to me like a man and looking me in the eye...
00:43:26I knew you wouldn't see me.
00:43:27You treat us like strangers on the street.
00:43:29No, first your brother, then your mother, and now me.
00:43:34What fools you must think we all are, Saeed.
00:43:39Not anymore.
00:43:52Help me understand this.
00:43:54Why do you always do this?
00:43:57I haven't got time to go over it and over it and over it.
00:44:03Brilliant idea.
00:44:05How many times are we expected to bail him out?
00:44:08We're not bailing him out. We're helping him out like we help out all our children.
00:44:11You can help me now, actually, by keeping it down a bit.
00:44:13He asked us for help, Matt.
00:44:15He's lying, Zainab.
00:44:16Listen! I don't want to be rude. I'm going to have to be.
00:44:19Can you do this somewhere else, please?
00:44:23Sorry.
00:44:25Yeah.
00:44:26We don't want you to be a failure as well, Tamwar.
00:44:29You know, because you'll have a long way to go
00:44:31to live up to your father's impossible standards.
00:44:33If Saeed can't put his family before himself...
00:44:36How's that my fault?
00:44:37Hi, Libby.
00:44:38I've always put this family first.
00:44:39Er, nothing. Just revising the lines.
00:44:40Which is more than he ever did.
00:44:41And watching my parents' love crumble to dust.
00:44:43Yeah, I'll wait for you here.
00:44:44Just bring a timetable and some earplugs.
00:44:56Hello, Tambo.
00:44:59Ha! She's still got this.
00:45:02I thought she'd have thrown it out years ago.
00:45:05She loves it.
00:45:07For some reason, she actually likes being reminded of you.
00:45:12Look at you.
00:45:14Better looking every day.
00:45:16Still an old brainiac, eh?
00:45:20What do you want?
00:45:23What do you want?
00:45:25Why do you think I want anything?
00:45:27Money? You want a handout?
00:45:28No.
00:45:29I've come home.
00:45:32No, no, no!
00:45:34How else can we sort things out? I need to see him.
00:45:36No, Saeed, you're a hurricane.
00:45:38You see either of them for five minutes,
00:45:40it takes forever to clear up the mess.
00:45:41If I apologise to him, though, face to face...
00:45:43You'd just stir them back up again.
00:45:44I misled him, Tamwar.
00:45:46Really?
00:45:47The least I can do is apologise.
00:45:48Look, do us all a favour and go away.
00:45:50I have to see him.
00:45:51You're just wasting your time.
00:45:52They're both at work and you can't stay here.
00:45:54I've got revision to do.
00:45:59Yeah, Oxford, eh?
00:46:00Yeah. Mum goes on.
00:46:01Dad's worse.
00:46:03He nearly burst when he was talking about you.
00:46:07Well...
00:46:09we'd better get on.
00:46:10Don't want to lumber our parents with two failures.
00:46:15No, we don't.
00:46:18Guess I'll just wander around a bit.
00:46:21Might bum into the old man.
00:46:23He should still be doing his rounds.
00:46:30Right, one full breakfast.
00:46:32Cheers.
00:46:38I feel guilty.
00:46:40There's a first.
00:46:42I don't want to stop you revising properly.
00:46:44You don't have to babysit me, you know.
00:46:46How else am I going to make sure you leave?
00:46:49I'll go after I've found Dad.
00:46:51Uh-uh, you'll go after you've paid for this.
00:46:54I've missed you, you know.
00:46:57Well, you'll get over it.
00:46:59I had to.
00:47:07Recognise anyone?
00:47:09How skinny were you?
00:47:10Look at your little shorts.
00:47:12Look at that shirt and tie.
00:47:13I look like a four-year-old accountant.
00:47:16Remember that old stray dog you found?
00:47:18Get that flirty thing out of my house.
00:47:21Or my personal favourite.
00:47:23If you don't bring down your dirty claws,
00:47:25they'll sprout legs and run into the machine themselves.
00:47:31Well, she might have driven me nuts, but...
00:47:34it wasn't easy to leave her.
00:47:37But leaving you behind, that almost killed me.
00:47:40No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:47:42Listen, mate.
00:47:43Where did he spring from?
00:47:45I think he's single.
00:47:47Put your claws back in.
00:47:49Bring me a tea when you're ready.
00:47:52Yep.
00:47:53Yeah, it's all fine. I'm on top of it, mate.
00:47:56Yeah, bring in six figures, no problem.
00:48:00I'll give you a call when it's done.
00:48:03Look, the minute this money comes in,
00:48:05I'm going to give Mum and Dad half.
00:48:07Down payment to show them I mean it.
00:48:09Oh, well, if you're going to pay them, that's OK.
00:48:11You don't have to treat them with honesty or respect
00:48:13if you can buy them off.
00:48:14You are harsh sometimes.
00:48:15Wonder why that is.
00:48:16Come on, Tamwa, please.
00:48:17Just talk to Dad.
00:48:19I just want to come home.
00:48:22You're telling me you couldn't use an ally?
00:48:24An ally?
00:48:25No me, no shabs.
00:48:27Just you,
00:48:28shouldering all their expectations.
00:48:31I could help fight your corner.
00:48:33I don't...
00:48:34Oh, come on, we'll have a great time.
00:48:36I'll take you to some classy clubs.
00:48:38Help you find that special girl or two.
00:48:41Nightclubs give me tinnitus.
00:48:44Wouldn't mind some comedy, though.
00:48:46You name it, I'll get a cent.
00:48:48Doesn't mean I'm brought off.
00:48:49No, we'll just hang out.
00:48:51It's such a bad thing to have somebody on your side.
00:48:53Sorry to disturb you.
00:48:55Can I borrow your shawl?
00:48:56Be my guest.
00:48:57Now, there's an offer.
00:48:59I'm Janine.
00:49:00Delighted to meet you, Janine.
00:49:02I'm Saeed.
00:49:03My little brother failed to tell me
00:49:05how good-looking the girls were in this part of the world.
00:49:08I've not seen your alley before.
00:49:10I've been away for a while.
00:49:11Oh, well, welcome back.
00:49:13Maybe I can show you around sometime.
00:49:15See what you've been missing.
00:49:17Yeah?
00:49:18Yeah.
00:49:19And I make better tea than this place.
00:49:22Don't move, Janine.
00:49:23I'll be right back.
00:49:25You and I can plan a little sightseeing.
00:49:31Hey, James.
00:49:32Hi.
00:49:34Um...
00:49:36Bills, bills.
00:49:38Um...
00:49:39Beans, bills.
00:49:40All right.
00:49:41Are you not in today?
00:49:42Uh, no, no, he's not, no.
00:49:44Oh, hang on a minute.
00:49:49Why aren't you at home?
00:49:50Dad!
00:49:51Oh, yeah.
00:49:52Supposed to meet Libby.
00:49:53She's late.
00:49:54Why are you not in the unit?
00:49:55Just finishing late.
00:49:56Spent too much time arguing with your mum this morning.
00:50:01Ever since you were little, I could tell.
00:50:03Tell what?
00:50:04When you're trying to hide something.
00:50:07You don't have to pretend, Janine.
00:50:09Look, I know it's difficult being in the house
00:50:12when me and your mum are, you know, me and you.
00:50:15I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable in your own home.
00:50:18It's fine.
00:50:19No, it's not.
00:50:20No, honestly, I know you guys don't see eye to eye about Sayid and I, but...
00:50:24Yeah, well, he's my son.
00:50:26And I'm...
00:50:27It's my job to protect the family.
00:50:30And that means keeping him away.
00:50:32Your mother would sell the coke off her back for him.
00:50:35And, you know, the trouble is, he'd let her.
00:50:38So, look, you're doing really well.
00:50:40I'm just sorry we're not good at showing it, are you?
00:50:43What are you doing here? I've been knocking at yours for ages.
00:50:46Sorry, thought I said here.
00:50:48OK, well, look, I'd better go.
00:50:51Disturbed you enough?
00:50:54Right, what do you want to get started with?
00:50:56I thought DNA replication and expression.
00:50:58That way, once that's done, I can get over my lit stuff later.
00:51:03Yeah?
00:51:05Look, sorry.
00:51:07Where were you going?
00:51:10Tom?
00:51:20So, yeah.
00:51:23They're just not ready yet.
00:51:25What about you? What do you want?
00:51:28I haven't been totally honest with you.
00:51:31That's not like you.
00:51:33I mean, I am due money, but...
00:51:35Until I get it.
00:51:40Everything I own is in these bags.
00:51:44Not very impressive, is it?
00:51:47To be honest, even when I get my cut, I owe it straight out.
00:51:50So this is it.
00:51:52Some total of all my money.
00:51:54So this is it.
00:51:56Some total of all I've got.
00:52:00No flat.
00:52:02No money.
00:52:03Nowhere to go to.
00:52:07Yeah, well, you've always got your millions of mates.
00:52:09It's easy to have mates when you've got money.
00:52:11It's funny how they all disappear when the money does.
00:52:15Please.
00:52:16Tambo, I just need a bit of help.
00:52:20No, no, no, no.
00:52:22I'm saving for uni.
00:52:23I'm not taking your money.
00:52:25Don't get too excited.
00:52:26250 quid. You can't exactly retire on it.
00:52:28I don't want your money. I'm serious.
00:52:30I want my family back.
00:52:35You can't do it to them, Saeed.
00:52:38They're tearing each other up.
00:52:41If you came back, it'd finish them.
00:52:44If you came back, it'd finish them.
00:52:50Sorry, it's not warm.
00:52:57They're lucky to have you on their side.
00:53:02You look after them.
00:53:09Look after yourself.
00:53:11I know you're not that skinny kid anymore, but...
00:53:15if you need me...
00:53:34Are you rushing off, then?
00:53:38Afraid so.
00:53:42It's a shame.
00:53:44I was looking forward to showing you around.
00:53:47Some other time, yeah?
00:53:53Advice it yields.
00:53:55Give them some more quality arguing time.
00:53:57Are they still at it?
00:53:59Yeah.
00:54:00Although they've probably calmed down.
00:54:02Now...
00:54:05What if he really hasn't got any money if he is that broke?
00:54:08Any supply on that?
00:54:10Yeah, still...
00:54:12still 150 quid, I mean...
00:54:14it might last him.
00:54:19Might last him longer than you think.
00:54:24What's he...
00:54:28He can't, he...
00:54:39Morning, Dad.
00:54:41What on earth are you doing here?
00:54:43Look, just give us a chance...
00:54:45Who is it, Sayid?
00:54:48I see.
00:54:51It's not what it looks like.
00:54:56Thank you very much.
00:55:00Just a minute ago...
00:55:02Yes?
00:55:03In Janine Butcher's doorway...
00:55:05Why do I have to say everything twice?
00:55:07It would appear so, yes.
00:55:09Why?
00:55:10Well, I wasn't going to have that conversation with him...
00:55:13when she was standing right next to him in her negligee.
00:55:16Why would he sleep there when he's got a perfectly good bed up here?
00:55:19Unless, of course, he arrived late and he didn't want to disturb us.
00:55:22Oh, since when has consideration been one of Sayid's strong points?
00:55:25This is all your fault, you know that?
00:55:26What?
00:55:27He's scared of his father, what other explanation is there?
00:55:29Oh, right, I was wondering how long it was going to take before it was all my fault.
00:55:33And why are you so quiet?
00:55:35Sam, what are you not telling us?
00:55:37I was waiting for the right moment...
00:55:40and I haven't found it yet.
00:55:45Why are you being funny with me?
00:55:47Letting my dad see you like that was not a good idea.
00:55:50I thought it was quite amusing.
00:55:52Yeah, well, I'm not laughing.
00:55:53So he thought that me and you...
00:55:55Exactly.
00:55:56Why don't you just tell him the truth?
00:55:58My dad doesn't believe me about anything.
00:56:00On principle.
00:56:01I can tell him if you like.
00:56:04What is the big deal?
00:56:06Well, I was hoping to win him round.
00:56:08Now I've taken five steps back before I've even begun.
00:56:10I just can't figure you out.
00:56:13Are you a bad boy or not?
00:56:14Well, I know what you are.
00:56:16I'll take that as a compliment, thank you.
00:56:18And when she comes round...
00:56:19And who comes round?
00:56:20My mother.
00:56:21What?
00:56:22Trust me, she will.
00:56:23Don't let her see you like that.
00:56:25Put something on.
00:56:27I mean it.
00:56:30And be nice.
00:56:32Don't do nice.
00:56:33Well, I'm sure you can pretend.
00:56:36Hey, does your mother know that I am Jewish?
00:56:40Are you?
00:56:41Well, I can be when I want to be.
00:56:44Put that away now.
00:56:46I'm serious.
00:56:48Do you need...
00:56:49Okay, all right.
00:56:56Mrs Massoud.
00:56:58I understand that my son is staying with you?
00:57:01He is.
00:57:02Can I just say, what a pleasure it's been.
00:57:06What kind of pleasure?
00:57:07It's just so rare to find a true gentleman these days, you know?
00:57:10And according to Saeed, it's all down to you.
00:57:13How do you mean?
00:57:14Well, he doesn't shut up about you.
00:57:16It's mum this, mum that.
00:57:18Yeah, can I come in, please?
00:57:19Yeah, sure.
00:57:20Saeed, it's your mum.
00:57:21Good, show her through.
00:57:22Excuse the man.
00:57:24Yeah.
00:57:32Hello, mum.
00:57:33Saeed.
00:57:34I was just about to go to mosque.
00:57:36You mean you still haven't said your fazal namaz?
00:57:38Of course, I just wanted to get a feel for the place.
00:57:40And what would they say at mosque if they knew where you stayed last night?
00:57:43I slept in the spare room.
00:57:45You can go and check if you want.
00:57:46I'm really confused, okay?
00:57:48Dam told me that he gave you the money to go back to Leeds.
00:57:50And that's exactly what I was going to do, only I couldn't do it.
00:57:53Why not?
00:57:55What do you think?
00:57:57Oh, Saeed.
00:58:00Oh, Saeed.
00:58:07So why didn't you come straight away?
00:58:09Hmm?
00:58:11Your father.
00:58:13Is everything all right in here?
00:58:15Yes.
00:58:16We need to talk.
00:58:17Well, actually, I was just going to make breakfast.
00:58:19You're more than welcome to stay.
00:58:20It's very kind of you, Janine, but Saeed and I have things to discuss.
00:58:24What about mosque?
00:58:25Mosque can wait till Zohr.
00:58:26Come on, I'm taking you to the cafe.
00:58:29Shalom.
00:58:34You don't want to be staying there.
00:58:35She'll lead you astray.
00:58:36Oh, you think I'm that weak?
00:58:37I know what women like her are capable of.
00:58:39How will we ever know the strength of our moral character
00:58:41if we never have our moral character tested?
00:58:44So what are you saying?
00:58:46I've been through a lot these past years, Mum.
00:58:49Faced a lot of challenges.
00:58:51I had to take a long, hard look in the mirror.
00:58:55And?
00:58:57I saw things there I wasn't proud of.
00:59:00You made mistakes, all right?
00:59:01People make mistakes.
00:59:02Don't be so hard on yourself.
00:59:04Let's not gloss over it, Mum.
00:59:05I was thoughtless, irresponsible.
00:59:10Thanks.
00:59:12Selfish.
00:59:13You were young.
00:59:14So I really don't blame Dad for thinking the way he does.
00:59:17He'll come round.
00:59:18Not without me earning it.
00:59:20I've got something to prove here, Mum.
00:59:23And that's why staying with a girl like Janine...
00:59:26What about it?
00:59:28..is a way of proving to myself that I can resist that kind of temptation.
00:59:32That I've grown up.
00:59:34That I'm a man.
00:59:38While we're on the subject of resisting temptation...
00:59:41You're very amusing.
00:59:42It's good, actually. We'll have a bit.
00:59:44All right.
00:59:47So what happened to going back to Leeds?
00:59:50That would have been an easy way out.
00:59:53Go on.
00:59:55Verse 14 of the 51st surah.
01:00:01My Arabic is a little bit rusty. Translate?
01:00:05Yea, but you caused yourselves to fall into temptation.
01:00:09And you waited and doubted and vain desires deceived you.
01:00:14And you waited and vain desires deceived you
01:00:17till the threatened punishment of Allah came.
01:00:20I want to avoid that punishment.
01:00:22I still don't understand.
01:00:24I'm saying goodbye to that old life.
01:00:27I want to come home.
01:00:29And if that means having to get down on my hands and knees in front of my dad
01:00:32and begging his forgiveness, then so be it.
01:00:34Don't you think for one second that your father doesn't love you?
01:00:37I need to earn that love, Mum.
01:00:40It's going to be OK, Pop, all right?
01:00:42Come now. I will take care of you.
01:00:51He can wrap her around his little finger just like that.
01:00:54She'll never learn.
01:00:55You want to think the best of your children. That's just human nature.
01:00:58He reminds me of my father. He's ambitious, charming, full of dreams.
01:01:03A slave to his appetites.
01:01:05Ambition isn't necessarily a bad thing.
01:01:07Well, it is if you haven't got what it takes to back it up.
01:01:10Your father or Saeed now?
01:01:13Both.
01:01:15Zainab gets cross with me.
01:01:17She says, I can't believe you're happy still being a postman.
01:01:20And the answer?
01:01:21Well, for a start, I'm not happy.
01:01:23Who is?
01:01:24Well, it's nothing to do with being a postman.
01:01:26It's just the fear that starting up a business again...
01:01:29What?
01:01:30Well, it might involve losing a business again.
01:01:34And now that Saeed's back and...
01:01:37Mm.
01:01:39The stress of it nearly finished me off.
01:01:42I don't think I can go through that again.
01:01:44Well, maybe he's changed.
01:01:46Yeah, and maybe tomorrow the earth will revolve around the moon.
01:01:52You know, if I tried to have this kind of conversation with Zainab...
01:01:55What?
01:01:56Well, it would always end in a row.
01:02:00There's some things you just can't talk about.
01:02:02That's true of most marriages.
01:02:04You and Ian?
01:02:05Of course, me and Ian.
01:02:08Well, I'm glad we can talk.
01:02:10Yeah, me too.
01:02:14Shouldn't you be finishing off your round?
01:02:16I don't want you getting into trouble back at the sorting office.
01:02:18Well, I've got a few minutes.
01:02:20I don't know about you, but this is doing me the world of good.
01:02:23Kettle on.
01:02:24Yeah.
01:02:25Hmm.
01:02:35Do you like jokes?
01:02:37Well, I used to when I was allowed to tell them.
01:02:40You know, a policeman stopped me the other day in the car and he said,
01:02:43''Do you realise your wife fell out of the passenger seat three miles back?''
01:02:46And I said, ''Well, thank goodness for that, cos I thought I was going deaf.''
01:02:51Well, I can see where time gets it from now.
01:02:54You know, I was quite happy, Tam, being a stand-up comedian.
01:02:57Well, not at the time.
01:02:59Well, what other time was there?
01:03:01Oh, you know, I was just worried about it all going wrong and having to pick up the pieces.
01:03:05Do you remember that old songs thing I think it was?
01:03:08''If you love someone, set them free.''
01:03:10Tell that to Zainab.
01:03:11Or Ian.
01:03:12Hmm.
01:03:13You know, I'm getting seriously worried about what your supervisor's going to say.
01:03:16You think I'm scared of my supervisor?
01:03:18I'm married to Zainab.
01:03:21You here all day?
01:03:23No, I should be back at the cafe by now.
01:03:25Oh, well, maybe I'll pop in at lunchtime.
01:03:28Well, it does get really busy and it's hard to chat.
01:03:31And I've got a member of staff, I feel.
01:03:33Yeah, right, yeah, of course, I understand.
01:03:35But I do hope it works out with Saeed.
01:03:39Thanks.
01:03:41You know, I don't suppose he'll be here very long.
01:03:44As soon as he finds out that there's nothing here for him,
01:03:46he'll be looking for some other fool to try and take for a ride.
01:03:50You know, it couldn't be that he just loves his mum
01:03:55and has been missing her.
01:03:57Why do you say that?
01:03:58Well, people's motives, they're...
01:04:00they're not always underhand.
01:04:02You don't know him, Jane.
01:04:04You know, I could understand
01:04:07if he were just maybe a little bit jealous.
01:04:10I think I would be.
01:04:13What's so surprising about that?
01:04:16OK, here's the office. Mind you, it's still early,
01:04:18so I don't think there'll be any... anyone here.
01:04:23Hello, you two.
01:04:24Hi.
01:04:25What are you doing here?
01:04:27What are you doing here?
01:04:29Um, Jane, this is my eldest, Saeed.
01:04:32Saeed, this is Jane.
01:04:33We've met before.
01:04:34Ah, hello again.
01:04:35I don't suppose you could give us five minutes, could you?
01:04:38Yeah, sure, no problem.
01:04:41I should be back at the caf bar now.
01:04:43Nice to be introduced.
01:04:45Likewise.
01:04:49So what's this about?
01:04:51Saeed has something to say to you.
01:04:57I know we got off on the wrong foot last week.
01:04:59You two have been talking behind my back.
01:05:01Please, Dad, don't blame Mum.
01:05:03I know I did wrong,
01:05:05and I know you've got every right to turn your back against me.
01:05:09Nothing I do will ever repay the hurt I inflicted on you,
01:05:12but that doesn't stop me wanting to try.
01:05:14Yeah, whatever.
01:05:15I beg of you...

01:05:17From the bottom of my heart...
01:05:21..please...
01:05:23..give me a second chance.
