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