00:00Yeah, I know for a voicemail in a row how needy, but I'm actually a bit worried now,
00:14Jazz, so if you could just let me know you're okay.
00:17Jazz, so if you could just let me know you're a bit early for karaoke, innit?
00:45There will be nine green balls, hanging on the wall.
00:53Oh, boy!
00:56Oh, calm down, Nate. There's no point crying over it.
01:01You've got no respect.
01:05Have a nice cup of tea, then. Kettle's just boiled, but I'll just need to pack it some milk.
01:11How many times have I told you, woman, I don't want any damn tea.
01:15Well, I'm sorry. Sorry.
01:23Yes.
01:24Just that the last time I did this,
01:29I don't have time to prepare to do it properly.
01:37Yeah, with respect.
01:41And you will. And guess what? You're going to have all of us right there beside you.
01:51Hey, has anybody spoken to Jasmine?
01:54Um, well, no. Still early. Give it an hour. I'll give her a call.
01:58I'll go and get that milk.
02:00I'll go and get that milk.
02:04Who'd want to do that to Nugget, eh? I mean, it don't make sense.
02:33Whoever did, better hope the police catch him before Robbie does.
02:37Tell him I say get what's in, yeah?
02:39Actually, Penny, um, did you have any plans later today? At lunch?
02:49You want a bite?
02:50You're all right, thanks.
02:55Wow, how long are you going to be like this? It's already getting boring.
02:59So we're just ignoring last night, then? Hmm?
03:02Storming off, dashing a drink in my face, staying out all night?
03:06Well, we ain't joined at the hip, darling. You can do what you want.
03:09Green is not your colour.
03:10Well, first off, I look sick and green, actually. Brings out my eyes. And second...
03:18Jazz, I'm not going to lie, you're a mess.
03:21What, you think I care what you think?
03:23I kind of hope you did a bit, yeah.
03:29What?
03:30I'm making it Caribbean.
03:32Well, not in here, you ain't.
03:34This is a caf, not a club.
03:35So either finish your breakfast in here, or go outside and drink your rum in the gutter. Choice is yours.
03:41Miserable old cow.
03:42I beg your pardon.
03:43Jazz, chill.
03:43Excuse me.
03:46I'll take it from here, Kathy.
03:48All right.
03:51Jasmine, do you remember what is happening today?
03:57Okay, let's go.
04:00Let yourself sober up.
04:03Sorry.
04:05Jazz, wait.
04:09Where is he? Where's Dad?
04:14I, uh, I told him to get pizzas, didn't I?
04:16Can't come back without them.
04:18You don't have to lie to me, you know? I'm not an idiot.
04:21I know why I ain't here.
04:25I saw the way he looked at me.
04:26Probably didn't have one punch, did I?
04:29To the beating, like some.
04:30He's a stranger than me.
04:41That's how I remember her.
04:44She'll always be my kid base.
04:46It goes for you and all.
04:47I was thinking I could maybe say a few words.
04:53She had this CD that's got, like, all her favourite songs on.
04:55We could play that.
04:56And Dad, he's ordered a cake, so...
04:58I was thinking as well, we could grab her some of those Chinese lantern things and we could set them off in the park.
05:06Yeah, sick idea.
05:07Abby hated animals.
05:09Let's celebrate her memory with a wildlife massacre.
05:11Fingers crossed we burned a few bunnies.
05:13OK, so we're all set then, yeah?
05:21Just us, close family.
05:23Us lot and, obviously, Penny, Amy, Ricky.
05:27How about your mum?
05:29Oh, Dad's going to be there, so that's a hard no.
05:32Who needs family when you've got your best friends, Pino and Grigio, right?
05:35She's actually booked herself a holiday.
05:37Oh.
05:37Linda said that she'd bring Annie over.
05:39I know that Abby never met her, but still, she's still her sister.
05:44Well, it sounds like a plan.
05:46Should be a nice day, shouldn't it?
05:47Yeah, what better reason for a family knees up than to remember the death of your big sister?
05:51Oh.
05:52Yeah.
05:53Someone's Oscar the Grouch this morning, ain't they?
05:56You know this was your idea?
05:57So?
05:58Even if it is the best memorial ever, Dad's still going to find a way to ruin it.
06:03And what happened to building bridges?
06:06Just sitting the bar low, Lauren.
06:07I mean, chances are you won't even pick up the cake without messing it up or having an affair with it.
06:17Yeah, another one, please, Joyce.
06:21Cheers.
06:23Hey.
06:24If the answer's in the bottom of that glass, you'll be the first to find it, yeah.
06:33You're doing well, then.
06:35Breaking this idol?
06:36Some of my people in glass houses.
06:41I hear misery lacks company.
06:48Yeah.
06:51The cinema man Yolandi told me what this happened.
06:55What was he doing?
06:57I'm the wrong person to ask Patrick.
06:59I mean, I know that he's going to be okay, but...
07:02Read my life.
07:05You haven't visited him yet?
07:08Not since he woke up.
07:12I know.
07:13What's that make me?
07:15Coward.
07:17Terrible father.
07:20A failure.
07:20Yeah.
07:21Yeah.
07:21Yeah.
07:21Yeah.
07:25Then I go into a funeral parlor later.
07:31See, Anthony.
07:34That's going to be the last time that I...
07:37I'm sorry, Patrick.
07:42I didn't even think I'd...
07:45Do you know what I would give to swap places with you right now?
07:49He's your son, Ravi.
07:57Your own flesh and blood.
08:01I just keep thinking.
08:04What if I let him down again?
08:06And what if I...
08:08What if I just can't protect him?
08:10You know, you can't protect them all the time, but you've got to be there for them.
08:14So it's time to step up, son.
08:20Before it's to eat.
08:29Kaka said the cake was ready to be picked up.
08:31My dad was supposed to be picking it up, but...
08:34Morning.
08:35I ain't totally useless, you know.
08:37No, I never said you were.
08:40I think I've lost my appetite now.
08:41It's your ear, Cindy.
08:43Who's guarding Hades?
08:46Sticks and stones, Max.
08:49Right, about this memorial.
08:50She ain't going.
08:52Didn't even meet Abby.
08:53Like it or not, Max, Stephen was my son.
08:57Making me grandmother to Abby Junior.
09:00An ergo, part of the family.
09:02You remember Stephen, don't you?
09:05Right.
09:06Let me give you a hand with this hand.
09:07No, I don't need help.
09:08What are you doing?
09:09I don't need that.
09:10Get out!
09:10I don't need help.
09:13You alright?
09:43I'll beat you.
09:47You do a lot of running, then?
09:49Yeah.
09:50It's about to keep in shape.
09:53Only running I do is away from my problems.
09:56Have a word, mate.
09:58She's young enough to be your daughter.
10:00Yeah, at a push.
10:03See you later, you love.
10:05See you later.
10:08Oh, we were just talking.
10:11Not that it's only your business.
10:14True.
10:16But Patrick is.
10:19If you don't want to go to the funeral home, then fair enough.
10:24But tell him that.
10:26He's a good man, Jasmine.
10:27He'll understand.
10:28I'm not supposed to take your word for that.
10:31Oi!
10:32Listen.
10:33Patrick might not be blood.
10:35But he is the best grandad I could have ever have asked for.
10:38And I will do anything to help ease his pain.
10:41Anything.
10:42And if that includes dragging home a self-absorbed wrecked by the hair, I will do it.
10:49He's a good man, is he?
10:52What, like father, like son?
10:54Good doctor saving the kids from Cambodia.
10:58And then you get me.
11:01Round hall, meet square peg.
11:06Look at me.
11:08Can't go.
11:10Patrick is, he's God tier, yes, but Anthony is far from perfect, trust me.
11:19What do you mean by that?
11:22Nothing.
11:23Shouldn't have said anything.
11:25No, well you've said it now.
11:26It's just, it's not my place to say, okay?
11:28Oh, but you still expect me to join in the family sob fest, do you?
11:31Yeah, honey, that's so good in the hands of my face!
11:34Run.
11:36You don't want to tell me.
11:39Jasmine.
11:41Jasmine, wait!
11:50Every time.
11:51Every single time.
11:53Lauren weren't on my fault, was it?
11:55To be fair, at least you had the decency to make the cock up before the big event,
11:59unlike my wedding, the christening, Christmas Day.
12:03Christmas Day, haven't been funny.
12:05You're the one who put the present under the tree.
12:07I'm talking about this Christmas, Dad.
12:09Oh, yeah.
12:10There's always an excuse with you, isn't there?
12:12It's always somebody else's fault.
12:13It's just a cake, Lauren, all right? It's a cake.
12:15No, it's not. It is not just a cake, Dad. It's Abby's cake, isn't it?
12:19It's Abby's cake, my sister's cake.
12:23Right, well, I'm sorry, all right?
12:25It's not good enough.
12:26I've changed my mind. I don't want you there.
12:28Were you joking?
12:29Does it look like I'm joking, Dad?
12:35I'm fine. I'm not going to be there.
12:39I'll get someone to read this out.
12:41Just a few words I wrote for abs.
12:43I hope it all goes well, yeah?
12:45Hello.
12:46How have you both barely aged a day?
13:00So many wasted years, eh?
13:03Times I can never get back.
13:07Hey, how are you doing? You okay?
13:09Me?
13:10Hmm.
13:11Yeah, I'm fine.
13:12Strong like a bull, innit?
13:13Kim.
13:14But I never got the chance to do this for Vincent.
13:17I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse.
13:20It's caucus.
13:21He's ready.
13:22Jasmine?
13:23Okay, well, she ready, she ready.
13:24All good?
13:25Yeah, it just chose to be waiting on.
13:26I'll get it.
13:27Hang on.
13:28Where is he?
13:29That's you.
13:30What aren't you telling me?
13:31I don't understand.
13:32What about Anthony?
13:33What about Anthony?
13:34Why are you not telling me?
13:35How did you put it?
13:36But he's not a good man.
13:37No, no, far from perfect.
13:38Right, out of context.
13:39This is what I'm trying to do.
13:40It's a good man.
13:41What about Anthony?
13:42Why are you not telling me?
13:44How did you put it?
13:45But he's, um, he's not a good man.
13:48No, no.
13:49Far from perfect.
13:50Okay, out of context, I don't want you to do it.
13:55I'm not going to tell you what the truth is.
13:58No, far from perfect, actually.
14:00Out of context, that doesn't sound great.
14:02Why wasn't he a good man?
14:04Inviting me here, making out like I'm part of your family.
14:07Jasmine, stop!
14:08It's a tough enough day without you guilt-tripping him.
14:11No, no, it's all right.
14:12She ought to know.
14:14Your father, Anthony, he didn't really
14:16treat all the women around him with the respect they deserve.
14:20It's not that simple.
14:21Sounds like you're saying he didn't pull the chairs
14:23out for them at dinner.
14:25Tell me the truth.
14:27No sugarcoating?
14:29He was controlling, obsessive.
14:34His ex-wife took out a restraining order against him,
14:37she, and their children.
14:41Apparently, he was obsessed with Zoe.
14:45What, and you knew?
14:47All of you, you all knew?
14:48No, no, we only knew this just before Christmas.
14:50Oh, before you invited me into your house?
14:53Before you told me that I should
14:55grieve over his body with you.
14:57Just let your grandfather explain.
14:58He is not my grandfather.
15:00He is a stranger.
15:01All of you are strangers.
15:03You know what?
15:04I've had enough of this.
15:05Move.
15:06Nice one, Chels.
15:08I was trying to help.
15:11Yeah.
15:12Yeah.
15:13Really nailed it, babe.
15:15I thought you said he was on his way.
15:26Yeah, he's waiting for those pizzas.
15:28Come on, it's your move.
15:29Getting it from Italy, is he?
15:31I get it, Mum.
15:33You knew him when he was my age, right?
15:35Let me guess.
15:36Good looking.
15:37Guess any girl he wants.
15:39No other lad there, look him in the eye.
15:40That's the kind of son he thought he'd get.
15:43But instead, he gets me.
15:45Listen, I know you're hurting, babe.
15:48But this pity party's really got to stop.
15:51You've not been paying attention?
16:03Son's trying to walk in their father's footsteps.
16:05It's hardly gone down well for the blokes in this family, has it?
16:10Yes, I knew your dad when he was your age.
16:14And trust me, teenage Ravi, he really
16:18ain't someone you want to put on a pedestal.
16:24I love you for the boy you've become.
16:27And so does your dad.
16:29You understand?
16:33Good.
16:36Now it's your move.
16:48If I knew any better, I'd think he was trying to avoid me.
16:55Sorry, Jack.
16:56Must have other things on my mind.
16:58Yeah.
16:59I'm sorry.
17:00If it's any comfort by having a nut here, I don't think it's got anything to do with
17:04the OCG.
17:05Oh, nice one.
17:06Everything's hot, don't you?
17:07Oi, oi!
17:08I get it.
17:09You've got a lot going on, Ravi, but there's a lot riding on this, yeah?
17:12What, do I need to tell you what happens to the grass when they go inside, do I?
17:19Yeah, I'm trying.
17:20Yeah, well, you need to try harder then.
17:23You get the call, and you go.
17:26Clear?
17:27Yeah.
17:28Crystal.
17:29Are you ever going to say hi to your dad?
17:45My dad?
17:47Oh, I didn't see him.
17:50Nothing to do with you being embarrassed about being on a date with me, then?
17:53Oh, this is a date, is it?
17:55What would you think it was?
17:57I don't know, just two friends having a drink.
18:00Friends?
18:01Right.
18:02What?
18:03Well, just haven't done what we did with most of my friends.
18:13I'm going to go to the bar.
18:16Have you had it?
18:18Spicy mug, if they have them.
18:22Oh, I'm not paying for it.
18:27If it was a date, sure, drinks on me, but seeing as it's just two friends having a drink.
18:33Wait.
18:34I ruined the whole thing.
18:35Mm-hmm.
18:36Uncle Jack owes me a ten-up.
18:37It ain't funny, Oscar.
18:38How can our dad be like that?
18:39Well, it's going to take years of therapy to figure out what else.
18:40Come on.
18:41Let's read it.
18:42I know that it's extreme, but you said it yourself.
18:43He's got form.
18:44I think the safest option is to just say no.
18:45What?
18:46What?
18:47What?
18:48What?
18:49What?
18:50What?
18:51What?
18:52What?
18:53What?
18:54What?
18:55What?
18:56What?
18:57What?
18:58What?
18:59What?
19:00He needs to be there.
19:14Things I'll never get to do with you.
19:17I will never see you nervously pack your car with cheap Swedish furniture and plush toys
19:22before you drive away to your first tiny apartment.
19:28I'll never get to dance with you at your wedding, not as your dad, but as your friend.
19:37What, Dad wrote that?
19:39Lauren, it's double-sided.
19:45I hate the hold that that man has on us.
19:48I told you. Years of therapy.
19:58In Trinidad, we say that we knock a glass.
20:12It means sharing a drink.
20:18It wasn't easy for me, you know, learning all about my own son.
20:22Well, you really didn't know.
20:24Anthony, he was the golden boy.
20:27Kind, driven, dedicated.
20:30But when he wasn't.
20:31He made mistakes.
20:34We all do, from time to time.
20:37But who is to say if he was here, he couldn't, um...
20:40Couldn't get back on the ride track.
20:44Jasmine, he...
20:46He was a good man, you know.
20:50Do you really believe that?
20:52If I want to be at peace with my son,
20:55I've got to believe it.
21:02Yes, you know where to find us.
21:04Yeah?
21:05You're getting a drink, isn't it?
21:14Yeah?
21:28All right, send me the location.
21:36I'll be there in 10.
21:44Oh, I'll get it.
21:59Too late to change my mind.
22:05No, it was all outside.
22:07It was waiting to bury it in the garden.
22:09She started singing.
22:10What's that song from Watership Down?
22:12Bright Eyes.
22:13Bright Eyes.
22:14That's it.
22:15Sang a little heart out.
22:16Bless her.
22:17What, you and Tanya kept a straight face?
22:19Oh, yeah.
22:20Barely.
22:21Was that the same one that she gave mouth-to-mouth to?
22:24Oh, yeah.
22:25Yeah, I think so, yeah.
22:26It's hard to keep track.
22:27I mean, she loved her animals.
22:28She wasn't the best at keeping them alive, was she?
22:34Don't worry, mate.
22:35She'll come round.
22:36It's not Jasmine.
22:38You've all got nice memories of Abby.
22:41Just be nice if I had a few more.
22:45Do you know how Abby chose your name?
22:47Oh.
22:48Yeah, she did and all.
22:49Took you something convincing, didn't it?
22:50Yeah, well, weren't that common back then.
22:53I think she thought it meant, erm, spirit of gods or something,
22:56but I just kept thinking about that muppet, you know,
22:58the one who lived in the bin.
23:00Well, she got a bang on then, didn't she?
23:05Spirit of the gods.
23:06Oh, can we not?
23:07Let's not turn a nice conversation about Abby into...
23:11a conversation about the private part.
23:13Well done.
23:14I heard you, er...
23:15you knocked it out of the park with a speech.
23:16Who'd a fool you, eh?
23:17My brother at Wordsmith.
23:18Yeah.
23:19Well...
23:20full of surprises.
23:21AI was it.
23:22Yeah.
23:23Yeah.
23:24Yeah.
23:25Yeah.
23:26Yeah.
23:27Well...
23:28full of surprises.
23:29AI was it.
23:31Yeah.
23:32Yeah.
23:53Alright, boy.
24:08It's time.
24:20Goodbye, Nick.
24:23Kim?
24:33Rest... Rest in peace.
24:36Is this the way it had to happen?
25:01That will be known on the day of judgment.
25:07But what we know is...
25:12He is free from his torments in this world.
25:24Goodbye, son.
25:28So sorry I let you down.
25:30Go ahead.
25:36Can I stay for a minute?
25:46Stay as long as you need.
25:47I spent my whole life wondering what I was going to say to you.
26:02Kind of hard when I didn't really know what kind of man you would be.
26:11Turns out I got it all wrong though, didn't I?
26:13See, I thought that you were this brilliant man.
26:25But now...
26:27Now I know the truth.
