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