00:25Why don't you take Joel with you?
00:27You've got to give it quite an elastic section
00:29It's good for him to spend time with you
00:31You're a positive male role model
00:34It's not going to look very professional if I turn up with my son in tow, is it?
00:37Anyway, I've spent plenty of time with him, he's alright
00:40Whatever he is, he needs to steer well clear of Avani
00:43I know, but...
00:47Could you go a little bit easier on him? For my sake
00:50I mean, it was a lot for him as well
00:53I know, I know
00:55And young girls get pregnant all the time
00:59I mean, your mum
01:01This ain't about my mum
01:04This is about your son kicking off because the girl he got pregnant quite rightly decided to have a termination
01:09Well, aren't I allowed to kick off? Can't I have feelings now?
01:12Yes, yes, of course you can
01:13But...
01:15Don't go shouting about it in the middle of the square next time
01:17Talk to your mates about stuff like that
01:19I mean, that's what's all in the news
01:21You know, encouraging young men to talk about stuff
01:25Yeah
01:27Yeah, it was a big shock for you
01:29Right?
01:31Yes, it's a lot to deal with
01:36I am on your side
01:38Okay?
01:40Not that there are sides, but
01:42I hope you know that I'm thinking of you in all of this
01:47Just stay away from Avani and her family
01:50Bye
01:51We don't want any more trouble
01:53Okay, but I just...
01:54Yeah, Vicky's right
01:56We keep our distance
01:58I thought you'd be on the stool by now
02:09Pete's doing the morning
02:11I'll take over for him later
02:12In other news, you've talked him into giving you a lying
02:15What can I say? Some of us aren't mourning people
02:18Why ain't you eating them?
02:23Stuff on my mind
02:25Yolanda yesterday called me a good soul
02:34I went back to see her after you told me not to
02:36What?
02:40Of course she did
02:42I don't know why I bother
02:43You know she's wrong
02:44Because whatever your soul is, it is not good
02:46She was struggling to carry stuff
02:48What do you want me to do?
02:49You should leave her alone
02:50Both of them
02:51It's pretty simple
02:53Even for you
02:54You know that thing that's on your leg?
02:56It's not a fashion accessory
02:58If the police find out that you're not as reformed as you're making out
03:01You're gonna go straight back inside
03:03Don't go near Yolanda or Patrick or anyone
03:06Eve
03:15Oh, so now you're ignoring me
03:19I've said I need some space
03:21How much more space do you need?
03:23You've had space at the home out of our bed
03:25How much longer?
03:27That's okay, just for once
03:29Just please, respect my wishes
03:43Yo
03:44You ain't still thinking about Avani?
03:47Oh mate, you wouldn't want a baby
03:49You know Lily hardly comes out now she had Charlie
03:52Who's Vicky to tell me to stay away?
03:54Eh?
03:55Check my mum
03:56Yeah
03:57She's got nothing to do with her
03:59I'm going over
04:00I'm gonna tell Avani what I think of her
04:01What if her dad's there?
04:03I'm not scared of it
04:05Well you should be
04:06You got a flat yesterday, Nate
04:08You know he hung Avani for the railway bridge
04:10Just cause he thought he mugged Avani off
04:14Oh stop
04:15Me
04:22Priya, please
04:23Can you move these cases?
04:25Not my fault you ain't got enough wardrobe space
04:27It's not a Doss house is it?
04:30Oh sorry, I'll just sleep under the viaduct then shall I?
04:34Or better still carry on living with the woman who didn't even tell me my own daughter was pregnant
04:39Why?
04:40I want to see Avani, I've got things I want to say to her
04:45Get out now you little runt
04:47I'm the victim here, I'm the one whose kids been murdered behind my back
04:50You've got some nerve
04:52You lay a finger on me you'll be done for assaulting a minor
04:55I don't think I care about that
04:56Ravi, leave, okay?
04:57He's done
04:58I've done nothing wrong
04:59She wanted to sleep with someone
05:00If it wasn't with me she'd have found some other bloke
05:03Ravi!
05:04Leave it
05:05That's what he wants
05:06She can't hide away forever
05:07Get out!
05:08Now!
05:09Get out!
05:10She's up there sobbing trying to get over it and he's here mouthing off
05:23Hey, hey, hey
05:25I hate this
05:26I know, I know
05:27She's not on her own
05:29Yeah
05:30Yeah
05:31Oh God
05:33Hey
05:36Hey, she's gonna be alright
05:39I know, I know, it's just
05:41I just feel like everything's falling to pieces
05:44You know, all this with Avani and the money and the restaurant and...
05:49No, mate, listen
05:50You're gonna pull through, okay?
05:52You always do
05:53Just, just
05:55Don't let Joel wind you up into doing something stupid
05:58Okay?
06:01That was him, wasn't it?
06:11Thank you
06:12Sweet
06:13Lovely, thanks
06:14Thank you very much, Shizam
06:21You're lost
06:22Good morning, Cathy
06:23Can I have coffee, please?
06:25How's Patrick doing?
06:26It's still shaking and you won't leave the house
06:29If I'll get my hands on whoever did it
06:32Oh, sorry
06:33Okay
06:35Hello?
06:38Yes, there is somebody there
06:41I see
06:42Make that to go, please, Cathy
06:44Oh
06:45Can you please leave it on the doorstep? I'll be there in a few minutes, thank you
06:48I
06:50Delivery at home and no one is answering
06:53Patrick is there, you know
06:54But he's too scared to answer the door
06:57Well, listen
06:58You give him our love, yeah?
07:00And, er
07:01This is all mate
07:02That's very kind of you, Cathy
07:03And I will give him your love
07:05I will give him your love
07:08Morning, Oscar?
07:09Hi, good to see you
07:11Your land, eh?
07:14If you've got stuff arrived at the house
07:18Do you need a hand carrying it in?
07:20I thought you was helping Peter on the stall?
07:22Not till later
07:23But you already helped me yesterday
07:25Yeah
07:26Well
07:27You've got to offer a helping hand
07:28As my name Cora says
07:31But then she goes on about offering the hand of friendship and having it bitten off
07:35I don't know what she was banging on about for all this
07:38Anyway, but me
07:40I like to be helpful
07:42Well, that would be very kind of you
07:45Because I completely forgotten what I ordered
07:47So you could prove very useful
07:50You know that it was him that helped me with the ironing home yesterday
07:52He's a real good Samaritan
07:54Oh, yeah?
07:56Well, well done to you, Oscar
07:58Lauren, we'll be very proud of you
08:04HMRC closed the restaurant
08:05Now I'm going to be out of a job
08:07I know he's going through it
08:08But why should I suffer?
08:09I'll pay my taxes even if he don't
08:12Morning!
08:13Hi
08:14I run out of milk
08:15And I never run out of milk
08:16This really practically has milk on everything
08:17But a lot on my mind last night
08:19Prepping
08:20Prepping?
08:21What?
08:22My big review today with Mr. Lister
08:24Market inspector
08:25Who's the market inspector?
08:26Oh, no, my boss
08:28Area manager
08:29Overseas six markets and two monthly car boot sales
08:32He's retiring soon
08:33So this could be my opportunity to climb that corporate ladder
08:38You know what they say?
08:39Life's a big game of snakes and ladders
08:41I have to admit
08:42I've said they're down my fair share of snakes
08:44That's 8.95pm, I'm sorry
08:47So the job you've been doing is going to become vacant
08:50The only reason I'm asking is because I'm going to be out of a job soon
08:52I mean, walking around the market is going to be a lot easier than 16 pounds an hour at the restaurant, isn't it?
08:56It's more than just walking around the market, Zach
08:59Sorry, the till is not open
09:01Ah, no, you need to press 7 and enter
09:03Used to do that when I worked here
09:06Shop assistant, market inspector, area manager
09:09You really are climbing that ladder, aren't you?
09:11Yeah
09:12Well done
09:13Thanks
09:14Thanks
09:23Guess what?
09:25That quote I just gave
09:27Turns out they've got another job they want me a quote for down in Eastbourne
09:30So I've got to get myself down there this afternoon
09:33Two for one, eh? Can't be bad
09:34Could be a new pair of trainers in here for you
09:37Congratulations
09:39I'm not going to be back till late tonight, so...
09:42So play nice with Vicky
09:44Yeah
09:45Like she said
09:47We're both in your corner
09:48And she worries about you
09:49No, I don't need her to
09:50Well, you should
09:52She's like a mum to you
09:56Mate
09:58You're too young to be a dad
09:59And I am way too young to be a granddad, you know that
10:03Yeah
10:04Yeah, but I should have known about it
10:07Yeah
10:08Yeah
10:09You should have
10:11These girls, they have all the rights
10:13Listen
10:14It wasn't that long ago
10:16That if you got a girl pregnant
10:18You had to stand by her
10:19You had to marry her
10:20I mean, that's what happened to the nan and granddad, you know that
10:23And then you've seen how they've been at each other's throes ever since
10:28So next time
10:30Use protection
10:32Because I'm being realistic here
10:34I can't stop you having sex
10:36But this can't happen again
10:37I went to see her dad
10:38Mate, we agreed
10:39I didn't agree
10:40What happened?
10:41I never saw her
10:42Her mum chucked me out
10:44I shouldn't go to Eastbourne
10:45Go
10:46Don't need babysitting
10:47You give them space
10:48Give it a week, two weeks
10:49I'm serious
10:50Remember why we left Australia
10:51Oh, it's always my fault, isn't it?
10:52Did I say that?
10:54No
11:07At the time, you told me that you owed me
11:10Well, this is me calling it in
11:11You lay low
11:13And if you see it finally, you don't get involved
11:17I want everyone to see what a great bloke you are, could you tell me?
11:22great bloke you are, because you are.
11:25And I am proud of you when you are making good choices.
11:29So from now on, good choices, aren't we, please?
11:39Now I insist you stay for a cup of tea or coffee.
11:42Oh, it's fucking hot.
11:44Don't offend me.
11:47Yeah, all right.
11:48Good.
11:49Make yourself comfortable.
12:12Who are you?
12:13What are you doing here?
12:13It's OK, I'm Oscar.
12:15I don't know you.
12:17Patrick.
12:18Don't be alarmed.
12:20This is Oscar as Jim and Dorothy's grandson, Lauren's brother.
12:26Max and Tanya's son.
12:27That's right.
12:30So what are you doing here then?
12:31Well, he very kindly brought this box in for me.
12:34And in return, I'm making him a cup of tea.
12:37Would you like a cup of tea while you don't sit down?
12:40I'll get you one as well.
12:40I'll get you one as well.
12:53I heard about what happened to you.
12:57I'm sorry.
12:58Must have scared you.
13:02You can't go thinking that sort of thing might happen again or anything.
13:10I'm sorry.
13:11I should be somewhere.
13:12I forgot.
13:13Sorry.
13:14Sorry.
13:15Sorry.
13:16It's just the, um, you see, Yolandi like somebody to make fuss over and she could be offended
13:23if you disappear or something.
13:26Oh, well, we don't want that, do we?
13:30Um, yeah, me and your grandfather used to play dominoes together.
13:41You always lost, though.
13:44Can you play?
13:46Yeah, I learned in, um, I know how to play.
13:50Jim said he knew how to play, too.
13:52The police probably won't have time for dealing with shoplifters from stalls.
14:00So, we, honey, will have to be very vigilant.
14:05Now, first on the list, get yourself some handcuffs.
14:09I think Nobby has a few on his stall.
14:11Um, Mr Lister, I was hoping that we would...
14:13Oh, come on, honey, I've told you.
14:15It's Bob.
14:17You and I are beyond formalities, aren't we?
14:20Bob.
14:22I was hoping that we would talk about your retirement.
14:25Ah, well, yeah, I'm afraid the present and party will have to be put on hold.
14:29Things being what they are, I can't think of retiring just yet.
14:32If ever.
14:33Yeah, but last time we spoke, you...
14:35Plans change, honey, and not always for the best.
14:38Take my advice.
14:40Never allow a family member to invest your money.
14:44And never trust anyone called Keith.
14:48Right.
14:49So you're not retiring then?
14:51Do I look like I'm dressed for a day on the links?
14:53Or a good twitching session?
14:56Now, have you had any experience of hand-to-hand combat?
15:03I know there's not much of you.
15:05One strong shove, you'll be flat on your back.
15:09But with the right moves, you can get her feet exactly where you want him.
15:14Or her.
15:16Because we have to be inclusive, don't we?
15:25Oh, hiya.
15:27How's my great-grandson?
15:28I swear he started giggling every time Peter plays the guitar.
15:30Oh, bless him.
15:32Oh, can I get some cream cakes?
15:34Oh, naughty but nice.
15:36What?
15:37Used to be an advert for cream cakes.
15:40You know, ooh, naughty but nice.
15:44Anyway, talking of nice, Yolande was in here today singing Oscar's praises.
15:50Oh, yeah?
15:51Yeah.
15:52Said he was a great help.
15:54They were in here earlier before she took him back to hers.
15:57So Yolande took Oscar back to see Patrick?
16:01Oh, I don't know about seeing Patrick.
16:03He helped her with a delivery she had.
16:05Yeah?
16:06He's a good lad.
16:07And good manners, which is something you don't see much of these days.
16:11There you go.
16:13Hey, you sure you want to play that?
16:15Don't let him get into your head.
16:17What side are you on, Mama?
16:19Oscar needs all the help he can get if he's playing with an old cheat like you.
16:23What? You calling me a cheat?
16:26So Oscar, is your mother well?
16:29Yeah.
16:30Oh, I liked her, you know.
16:34Not so much with your father, though.
16:36Can't buy talk, the boy's father.
16:38It's okay.
16:40Turn your mouths off about him all the time.
16:43As does my nan Cora, Lauren.
16:46In fact, I don't know anyone who doesn't mouth off about him.
16:49Did you see much of him when you were growing up?
16:52No.
16:53Well, that's the way of the world.
16:57You still turned out to be a nice young man.
17:00I'm sure he would be very proud of you.
17:03I'm not really a nice young man.
17:14I've done stuff.
17:17I've been sent away young offenders.
17:21Yeah.
17:25Oh.
17:27Ta-da.
17:29Well, your grandmother Dorothy used to have a saying.
17:36I speak as I find.
17:39And I am the same.
17:40And I find you to be a very helpful young man.
17:47With good manners.
17:48Good manners?
17:49What are you talking about?
17:50It's taken him ages to make up, eh?
17:54Hmm.
17:57Uh-huh.
18:18Finishing the job.
18:20Murderer.
18:22Do you want me to need you again?
18:24Where do you get off making decisions about my kid?
18:27I made a decision about my life and my body.
18:30It had nothing to do with you.
18:31No.
18:32It had everything to do with me.
18:33Nothing I ever do will have anything to do with you.
18:35Or any man or boy.
18:37Yeah?
18:38And that's what you are.
18:39You're an insignificant little boy.
18:41You need to learn some respect.
18:43Go home.
18:45Now.
18:46Respect!
18:47For you!
18:49He's been stringing me along.
18:53Dangling his carrot.
18:55Dangling his what?
18:56What?
18:57What you said is dangling him.
19:00No, Billy.
19:02Nothing like that.
19:03I mean, the odd implication, but nothing I can't handle.
19:06At last month's review, he said he was planning on retiring.
19:09I got all my hopes up.
19:11You've always got to look on the bright side, don't you?
19:15At least this way, we get to see each other through the day, don't we?
19:19And you can play that game that you like playing.
19:22No.
19:24The one where you come over at the store will never go at me,
19:26because I ain't paid my bank or something like that, will we?
19:29So then we...
19:30No, that is not a game, Billy, actually.
19:32And I'm not pretending.
19:33Honey!
19:34I was just thinking of you.
19:36Good news.
19:38I got you a mace spray.
19:42She's got a double hump with you.
19:44Really?
19:45No, no.
19:45You need to tell him.
19:47You said to her that you was retiring and that she could have your job.
19:51No, I didn't.
19:51Yes, you did.
19:53You said.
19:54I know what I said.
19:55I talked about retiring, but at no point did I suggest that you'd ever replace me.
20:00Because I'm a woman?
20:01No, no, no.
20:02No, that's not what I said.
20:04No, no, no.
20:06Terry Mason from Canal Street Market is all set to step into my shoes when that sad day
20:12does come.
20:13Terry Mason, the man you carved for with to the Masonic Lodge?
20:16I mean, why do I even bother?
20:18Because you care, honey, very deeply about markets.
20:23And that is very admirable.
20:27Now, I say it's a mace spray, but it's under the storm from Dodgy Ivers.
20:31It could be anything.
20:32Do you know what?
20:33Actually, I don't care.
20:34Yeah?
20:35I will not be humiliated.
20:36I will not be taken advantage of.
20:38I quit.
20:39Don't be silly.
20:40I'm not being silly.
20:41I'm being serious.
20:42Do you know what?
20:43Good for you, honey.
20:44When can you start back here?
20:45No, no.
20:46Wait a minute.
20:48I haven't accepted her resignation yet.
20:50She gets you to pay, guys, won't you?
20:52Go on.
20:53Tell her.
20:54Would you stop it?
20:55I'm not a piece of crockery that you sell on your store, Billy, that you can haggle over.
21:00Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
21:02Look, sorry.
21:03I am dying a slow and painful death in this place.
21:06I will pay you an extra £2 an hour on top of what you're already getting if you start
21:11back tomorrow.
21:14I'll start next week.
21:15After I've had a little bit of me time.
21:17Come on.
21:22Here you are.
21:23Have some lunch.
21:24You just wait until I tell your dad.
21:29Threatening to hit you?
21:30Big mistake.
21:31Huge.
21:32Don't tell him.
21:33Are you joking?
21:35I don't want Dad done for assault.
21:36Like, I just want this to be over with.
21:39I don't want anything more to do with him.
21:44Do you think he was right, though?
21:47About me murdering his baby?
21:49Of course not.
21:50I mean, murder isn't legal.
21:52And what you did, a termination, is legal.
21:57But it was his as well as mine, though.
22:03Look.
22:05One of his swimmers made the distance.
22:07OK?
22:08And that's his entire contribution.
22:09Everything else, it happened in your body.
22:17Did you ever think about aborting me your nugget?
22:22Yeah.
22:27My mum wanted me, too.
22:29When she found out I was pregnant with nugget.
22:33She put pressure on me, too, but...
22:36I stood firm because I knew I wanted him.
22:41And I wanted you.
22:44Is that why you left home, then?
22:47Mmm.
22:49That's why I was kicked out.
22:50Yeah.
22:52That's part of the reason I'm so mad at Sookie.
22:56You know, not telling me, your mum, what was going on.
23:02I always told myself that if it ever came to it,
23:06I'd stand by you, whatever your choice.
23:11Yeah?
23:19Next time you like a boy,
23:22you just let me check him out first, yeah?
23:25Next chair.
23:28OK.
23:29Bye.
23:31Bye.
23:32Bye.
23:36Love you.
23:37Love you.
23:40We can now show life on our planet in entirely new ways.
23:47Bring you closer to animals than ever before.
23:50And reveal new wildlife...
23:53Right.
23:55So you're back from visiting the people that you mugged, are you?
23:59If Jimmy wasn't asleep out there,
24:00I would be screaming so loudly at you right now.
24:04We just played dominoes.
24:06Dominoes?
24:08Yeah.
24:09Like him and Grandad Jim used to do.
24:11I told you to stay away.
24:14I was trying to make it better.
24:16That's what they told us in Young Offenders.
24:18If you've got a chance to make it better, you should.
24:21I don't like what I did, OK?
24:23I hate myself for it, but I can't undo it.
24:27Yeah.
24:29I played dominoes.
24:31I'm more than a tag on my ankle.
24:34I know.
24:36I know you are.
24:40I don't like myself sometimes.
24:41I do stuff without thinking and end up hating myself.
24:49I don't want to turn into Dad.
24:54Yeah, well...
24:56I know how that feels.
24:57What would have happened if I hadn't been there, eh?
25:15Let alone hitting a girl.
25:18Her dad would have been kicking our door down wanting your blood.
25:21Do you think you're a big man?
25:23Getting her pregnant, you are acting like a little kid.
25:26How am I meant to act?
25:28How?
25:30Do what you say and just shrug it off.
25:32Keep my distance like I've done something to be ashamed of.
25:34Avani's the one who should be ashamed.
25:36What kind of woman would get rid of a baby?
25:39Oh, in what world?
25:41Soon as they get their periods, girls are ready to be mums, yeah?
25:44No, Joel.
25:47Sex is primarily about reproduction and reproduction is the purpose of womanhood.
25:53Oh, here we go. Spatting that rubbish like those idiots online.
25:56It's not rubbish.
25:58Everything became confused for Western women after the First World War.
26:01And that's when gender lines first started to get blurred in this country.
26:04Are you really that impressionable?
26:06It's a fact.
26:08Ask any historian, they'll tell you it's not misogynistic, it's not hating women.
26:10It's about re-educating them to their purpose.
26:17So I need re-educating, do I?
26:21Because I've got no kids.
26:23Great timing, your dad going off for the day, leaving me to deal with this.
26:27I don't need dealing with.
26:33Look.
26:35Joel.
26:36I know it is a really, really hard time to be a young man at the moment.
26:44What with all the posts and the influences and that, but...
26:49If you don't straighten out your ideas, you are going to end up going down a very, very dark tunnel.
26:56And you care because...?
26:58Because...
27:00Joel, I love your dad.
27:03And believe it or not, I love you too.
27:08You have got so much going for you.
27:12If you could find yourself a nice girlfriend, you could...
27:16I treat her normally with love, respect.
27:19Like...
27:22Like the way my dad treats you.
27:24Yeah.
27:26No.
27:28No way.
27:30Sorry?
27:32My dad's your doormat. You walk all over him.
27:34You pick away at him till he forgets that he's even a man.
27:37Me and your dad have got a great relationship.
27:39Or we would have if it weren't for you stirring things up.
27:41Let me tell you something.
27:43You will never control me the way you control my dad.
27:47Is that what it is? Is it?
27:50Do I control him, not love him?
27:52He's weak.
27:54Vicky, I'm not.
27:56Joel, he ain't weak.
27:58If he wasn't weak, he'd have put you in your place months ago.
28:02Push me.
28:04And you'll soon find out if proper slapping would do you a world of good.
28:07You're good.
