00:00I'm still trying to work out how you could possibly think that that was me.
00:03I wanted it to be you. That way I was in control.
00:06This way I have to live with the fact that someone out there is out to get me.
00:09And me.
00:10Fuck, you've got as much to lose as I have.
00:11It's a competition now, is it?
00:16Any more tech since yesterday?
00:18There you go.
00:20How come Ian's got you working in here?
00:21It's tragic, isn't it?
00:23You'd have thought this kind of thing went out with the Victorians.
00:26More tea?
00:26Cheers, mate.
00:27Thanks.
00:33I'll bet get going.
00:35Delivery's a quarter past.
00:36I'll catch you up.
00:39See you, babe.
00:55So what did it actually say?
00:58£300 in cash by 1pm tomorrow.
01:00You'll get instructions then.
01:01So what are you going to do?
01:02I'm not even sure I've got £300.
01:04I'll tell you what I'd do.
01:05What's that?
01:06A brief, unambiguous two-word reply.
01:08That's too risky.
01:09They are bluffing, all right?
01:11It's time to call it.
01:14I'll tell you what I'm going to do.
01:16I'll tell you what I'm going to do.
01:25Fine.
01:26That's the way you want to play it.
01:37Still no word.
01:40That's good.
01:41That brief, unambiguous two-word answer seems to have done the trick, then.
01:44Yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up.
01:46Not till one o'clock has been and gone.
01:49It's good, babe.
01:50Cheers.
01:51Listen, Cy, I'm telling you they have lost their bottle.
01:54We're not going to hear another word.
02:01So we're able to hope yet?
02:04I think maybe we are.
02:23Okay.
02:24Oh, it's just a bit tight round there.
02:27There we go.
02:30She's beautiful.
02:32Look, just leave it.
02:33It could be another message.
02:35Why would they text?
02:36They said they were going to write to Zaynab.
02:38You should get your cell phone and check the mail.
02:40Before your mum does.
02:41Intercept my parents' mail?
02:43Yes.
02:43My dad's the postman.
02:45Okay, suppose I get hold of it this time.
02:46What about the next time or the time after?
02:49Problem?
02:50No.
02:51Shouldn't you be at school?
02:52Dad just wanted me to bring this in.
02:55Nice phone.
02:56Yeah, it's mine.
02:57It's not the latest model, though, is it?
03:00Jane, I don't suppose Ian's got any flats available to rent, has he?
03:04Uh, sorry, no.
03:05When did you need it, bud?
03:06I said it was post, really.
03:08Oh, my God.
03:08Are you out on the street?
03:09Hey!
03:10That's enough.
03:11Lucy, school.
03:13Losers.
03:14Lucy!
03:14That is enough.
03:18What's going on?
03:21My mirror.
03:22Your mum's getting the other albums.
03:25Mum's here.
03:25Upstairs.
03:26Dad?
03:27No.
03:28Oh, no post then?
03:30No, why?
03:31Oh, nothing.
03:33Just a wedding catalogue I was expecting.
03:37You'll really get into this, aren't you?
03:39I want everything to be just right.
03:40Christian's got it all under control.
03:42What could possibly go wrong?
03:45Nothing.
03:46Come here.
03:55Another surprise.
03:57For the wedding.
03:57Well, then, I don't want to know.
03:59I'll go and see what's keeping your mum.
04:02I'll go and see what's keeping your mum.
04:36What have you done?
04:38I had to.
04:40If my parents find out...
04:41You idiot.
04:42You don't understand what this would mean.
04:43I understand that you've just given our blackmailer a blank check.
04:47It was cash.
04:48You know what I mean.
04:50What happens when they come back for more?
04:53You see who it was?
04:55I left the money in a phone box.
04:57I was going to wait, see who turned up.
04:59And?
04:59He was watching.
05:01So you don't even know if he picked it up?
05:03Look, I went back.
05:05It's okay, the money's gone.
05:06What, 300 quid in cash left in a phone box in Walford and it's gone?
05:10You do surprise me.
05:11I thought I'd sorted it.
05:12I thought it was all over.
05:31I thought I'd find you here.
05:38Hey, Christian.
05:39Right, girl.
05:39Babe, just a passing thought, the Mendy dance.
05:42The what?
05:42What about it?
05:43Well, it's not going to just organise itself.
05:45Who have you got dancing?
05:46They've got to start rehearsing, otherwise it's going to look really stupid and it's got
05:49to be extra.
05:50Yeah, yeah, it's all in hand.
05:51Actually, we were just discussing wedding plans.
05:54That's what we were doing when you came in.
05:56More surprises?
05:58You could say that, yeah.
06:04Get off!
06:05Oh, fuck!
06:26Lucy? Lucy, you all right?
06:29Jay?
06:31What happened?
06:36I feel sick.
06:37Look, you should go on.
06:41Can we just stay here for a bit?
06:43Look, you don't look too good, Lucy. You should go.
06:48Okay. I'll leave you. Come with me.
06:53Too much caffeine will make you anxious.
06:56It's not the coffee.
06:57Just try and relax.
06:58Look, that's easy for you to say. You're not the one about to be outed by Postman Pat.
07:02Maybe they're just calling you bluff.
07:06Oh, I'm here. I'm fine. Fine.
07:11Coffee, please. Can you make it strong?
07:13Sure.
07:14I'm bound to be a little tense, what with the wedding plans.
07:16Love's young dream.
07:19Certainly is.
07:21Oh, sorry. Zen have kept me up all night.
07:24Too much information.
07:25Oh, no. No, no. Tussing and turning and no, even kicking.
07:31It's like sleeping with a pregnant cart horse.
07:33If I sleep in one more time.
07:35Look, I just want everything to be perfect.
07:38I even forgot to deliver my own post.
07:47Hm.
07:48That little kiss there won't harm.
07:51Hm.
07:53I hope you don't talk in your sleep.
08:03I've got to get back to work. Mum's by herself.
08:06You get off.
08:07I'll handle this.
08:09Trust me.
08:12Thanks.
08:16Oh, but she said they were just after her phone.
08:19Her phone?
08:22Mmm.
08:34Mm.
08:40Mmm.
08:42Mmm.
08:43Mmm.
08:45Mmm.
08:47Mmm.
08:48Mmm.
08:49Mmm.
09:05So what's a nice boy like you doing in a place like this?
09:07Have you got it?
09:21At least he doesn't mention.
09:26Do you think this is the last one?
09:27That's not the way it works.
09:29They always come back for more.
09:32We need to tackle this head on.
09:34Find out exactly who's doing this.
09:37We need to call them again.
09:42It'd be wrong for whoever this is.
09:44Look, Christian, I...
09:46No, I...
09:46Do you think it's going to make it worse?
09:48When I was attacked, you encouraged me to go to the police.
09:51To be brave.
09:53That was different.
09:53Why, because it's me.
09:54So it's don't do as I do, but do as I say.
09:56Don't be like that.
09:57Well, how else do you expect me to react?
10:01I behave the way I do, because I...
10:06care.
10:08I know.
10:09And you've been brilliant.
10:12But...
10:13I just don't want any more trouble.
10:16I think we should just leave it.
10:18I don't want any more trouble.
10:21You better get off.
10:37Ahem. What are you doing skulking about?
10:40Well, you know what they say. Where there's greenery, there's queenery.
11:07Hello? Hello.
11:13Yeah, well, I wish Sam will cook me a special meal.
11:20Hmm. She wouldn't even let me in the house. In case I smelt it.
11:24All I want is a bit of sleep before I go on the taxis.
11:27Bottle a lager, please, Peggy.
11:28You certainly don't.
11:29If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were stalking me.
11:32In your dreams, Masood.
11:33We really should stop meeting like this.
11:35Yeah, people will start to talk.
11:37That's fine.
11:39Yeah, strange business.
11:41Well, I could take it off your hands if you don't need it.
11:44Oh, well, no. I'd better hand it in.
11:48I wonder whose it is.
11:51Ah!
11:53Needs a pin.
11:57Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
12:00Hello?
12:03All right, well, there's no need for...
12:06Ian, is that you?
12:08Oh, it's Masood.
12:12Ian, listen, I found it.
12:14It...
12:14OK, look, look, Christian's right here. I'll give it to him.
12:18Well, not at all. No need to say thank you, Ian.
12:21Yeah, I think you'd better have it.
12:23This is Ian's phone?
12:25I'm not sure.
12:27He said something about Lucy being mugged.
12:29Lucy?
12:33You left this on the bench.
12:35Thanks.
12:37Thought I'd lost it.
12:39Is everything OK?
12:41Yeah, yeah.
12:41Fine.
12:43Well, I should get back in.
12:44Amira's...
12:45I know.
12:49I know.
13:06On the house.
13:08Er...
13:09No, thanks. I'm not really hungry.
13:11Well, I could do something else if you want.
13:13No, I'm good.
13:14I, er...
13:15I appreciate, but...
13:16I've got to go because I'll be late.
13:18Yeah.
13:19Yeah.
13:21Hello.
13:25Hey.
13:29Coffee to go.
13:31Are you OK?
13:33Sorry.
13:34It's just I've been awake half the night worrying about my own problems.
13:37It's...
13:38Selfish me.
13:39How's your head?
13:42Look, if you're angry because you've heard Dad blaming Jane for what happened to me,
13:45I'm trying to fix it.
13:46I really am.
13:46Is he?
13:48I didn't know.
13:50Like I said...
13:52I've been worrying about my own problems.
13:58So, any more contact?
14:00No.
14:01Well, that's good.
14:03Is it?
14:04Of course it is.
14:05Well, sooner or later it's going to start again.
14:06It's just a matter of when.
14:08Maybe it won't.
14:08Maybe it's just...
14:09It's stopped.
14:10That's what I'm trying to convince myself.
14:12Or would you?
14:14Nice little earner like me.
14:16After all, they're not the ones rushing down the stairs to get the post every morning.
14:19Or catching someone's eye in the street and thinking, is it him?
14:23What can I do?
14:26Trapped?
14:29Look, Si, maybe I know who it is.
14:31What?
14:31Just keep your voice down.
14:33Well, who?
14:34I can't tell you until I'm...
14:35Is it someone I know?
14:36Have you confronted them?
14:37I'm still trying to work out the best way to approach it.
14:39That's not your decision to make.
14:42Is anyone actually going to help me load the van?
14:47Luce, you got a minute?
14:51I lay awake last night.
14:53Trying to go through all the possible alternatives.
14:57Because I really didn't want to believe that it was true.
15:06But now I know it is.
15:09So how do you know?
15:11I saw you together.
15:12When?
15:14A few weeks ago.
15:17I know how unhappy you've been.
15:19And I just thought that...
15:20What, Luce?
15:22What do you think?
15:24That the way to make me happy was to persecute the man I...
15:31You know, it's not long ago people like me had to hide what they were.
15:37Afraid to be ourselves in case we were locked up.
15:40Beaten.
15:42Or left ourselves open to blackmail.
15:44It wasn't like that.
15:46I just thought that if I put a bit of pressure on him...
15:49Pressure?
15:50He was stringing you along, acting like a coward.
15:52What do you know about it, Luce?
15:55I mean, what do you know about anything?
15:57I did it for you!
15:58Don't lie!
16:01You did it for yourself.
16:04And you did it for money.
16:10Now, whatever Saeed is or isn't...
16:13Whomever he loves...
16:17Or doesn't...
16:19It is for him to decide.
16:25You and me sick.
16:28I can't even bear to look at you.
16:31Are you gonna tell him?
16:35You'll have to wait and see, eh?
16:38Taste your own medicine.
16:46Hello?
16:49Jane?
16:53Er...
17:07What are you doing?
17:09Ah!
17:10Hello!
17:12Erm...
17:13Zainab's bedridden.
17:16Too much meat.
17:17And I was wondering if you could work.
17:19And I was just leaving you a note, which is why I was rooting through all your stuff.
17:25Er...
17:26So, er...
17:27Are you available?
17:28No.
17:30Well, that's okay.
17:31I'll do it.
17:32Er...
17:33I read it.
17:34I'm sorry.
17:38Erm...
17:38I can pretend I didn't, if you prefer.
17:43Er...
17:44No.
17:46So...
17:47Is it true, then?
17:50You planning on adopting?
17:55And Ian's made it quite clear.
17:57Even if I could have kids of my own,
18:00he's finished.
18:03So I don't know why I'm fitting in this stupid form.
18:06You must think I'm mad.
18:08Er...
18:09Well, maybe you could specify a really small baby and keep it in your sock drawer.
18:14I hope that Ian doesn't notice.
18:18He doesn't mean to hurt me.
18:21He just doesn't think about me much.
18:24All his focus.
18:26All his energy.
18:28That goes to his work.
18:30And his kids.
18:33I'm just a glue that ties both those things together.
18:38He's not like you.
18:40He doesn't want a partner.
18:42A friend.
18:44I'm sure that's not true.
18:46No, it is.
18:48And that was fine, as long as I didn't have these desires.
18:50But now I do, and I...
18:53I can't turn them off.
18:57So I'll just sit here making phone calls and...
19:00filling in forms that I'll never post, because...
19:04If I stop, that means it's over, and I don't think I can bear that.
19:11It's over.
19:12Does Ian really understand how much this means to you?
19:16I'm barely talking.
19:18Well, where's your first job?
19:20You make it up.
19:21I have tried.
19:22Oh, come on. Try harder.
19:25You're talking to Zeneb's husband, remember?
19:29Patience and persistence are my watchwords.
19:38Why would you even protect this person?
19:40I am not protecting them, all right?
19:42I am protecting you.
19:44Well, what would you do, Si?
19:45Attack them? Confront them?
19:48Now, I know this is hard, okay?
19:50But I've dealt with it.
19:51What, you've spoken to them?
19:52Yes.
19:53So it's someone from round here?
19:54It was a wind-up. It got out of hand.
19:57A wind-up?
19:57It's over.
20:00Did you get the phone?
20:01No, I didn't mean to, because they have promised me...
20:03You think the sort of person who's willing to stick to Blackwell is going to keep a promise?
20:05It's over, all right? I promise.
20:07Fine. Well, I'll sleep easy.
20:08Because when it comes to intimidation, you're right up there with the Cray twins.
20:10Do you know what? It was Lucy.
20:12Okay?
20:14Happy now?
20:16Lucy.
20:17She saw us together.
20:19It was a badly-judged joke.
20:22I've read of the riot act.
20:23She is ashamed of herself, and she knows what she did is just...
20:26Shut up!
20:28Come on, Bobby. We've got to.
20:30Shut up.
20:32Si, what are you doing?
20:46I thought we might like this.
20:49Need feeding up after all you've been through.
20:52It's on me.
20:54Thanks.
20:56Keep it quiet though, eh?
20:58Our little secret.
21:08Why's the bonfire not there?
21:10Um, Ian built it in the wrong place.
21:12Brilliant.
21:13Where's Saeed?
21:15I don't know.
21:16Where is Saeed?
21:17All right?
21:27Phone.
21:30Now.
21:31I won't tell anyone.
21:36What are you gonna do?
21:39Dunno.
21:40I've never been blackmailed before.
21:46What do you think I should do?
21:49I dunno.
21:52Well, maybe we should just leave it at that then.
21:55You dunno.
21:55I dunno.
21:58Nobody knows.
22:04I'm tired.
22:05I brought Lucy back from the park.
22:07You can never be too careful.
22:10I asked them to.
22:11I got this speech.
22:13Thanks.
22:14Appreciate it.
22:16Well, I shall get back.
22:18Help clear up.
22:21Take care of yourself, Lucy.
22:39Hey.
22:40Hi.
22:41Thanks for this.
22:44Just leave it on the side.
22:45Thanks.
22:48A family of tomatoes are walking down the street
22:51and the littlest tomatoes struggling to keep up.
22:53And the daddy...
22:54Catch up.
22:56Oh, you know it.
23:01Well.
23:03I guess you've spoken to Ian then.
23:08Ian loves you.
23:11No, he doesn't.
23:14If you love someone, you don't make them feel...
23:17stupid and selfish, but...
23:19Maybe that's what I am.
23:20Maybe that's exactly what I am.
23:23No, you're not stupid or selfish.
23:25You're a very wonderful, funny, loving woman.
23:38OK.
23:39So we kissed.
23:40It was just a kiss.
23:42I kiss people all the time.
23:45Yeah.
23:46Models, pop stars, heads of state.
23:49It's my hobby.
23:50It's no biggie, as they say.
23:54Unless you've gone and fallen in love with me.
23:56I mean, that happens too.
23:59It's something about my nips.
24:01Mmm.
24:02They intoxicate.
24:05They seem to cast a spell over women of a certain age.
24:08Oh, shut up.
24:08Well, only a brief spell.
24:15I want to make people less.
24:20Look, Jane.
24:23I know I'm a good kisser, but I did draw the line at that.
24:34You'd say, you'd say something.
24:37No.
24:37Why?
24:39No, you just seem pretty shaken up.
24:43You know what?
24:44I think you've got post-traumatic stress.
24:46Something.
24:51Noose.
24:54She's gonna leave, isn't she?
24:56Who?
24:57Jane.
24:58She's gonna leave because of what I did.
25:00Lying about the phone.
25:01Look, you're the victim here, OK?
25:03You've obviously got some sort of survivor guilt going.
25:06No, Dad.
25:08Look, I've done things that I'm really ashamed of.
25:11Bad things.
25:12I know me and Jane haven't always exactly got on,
25:15but I don't want her to go.
25:18She's not going anywhere.
25:20Well, I couldn't live with myself.
25:21She...
25:23I know how much you love her.
25:27Yeah, I do.
25:30I really do.
25:31You know, all that stuff about honesty, best policy, etc.
25:36That doesn't mean, of course, you telling Ian
25:39that you're trying to snog my face off.
25:42So that was, um...
25:45all...
25:46me?
25:46Oh, you were definitely the snogger.
25:48I was only the snoggy.
25:49Not that I minded.
25:51But...
25:52if you tell Ian and then Ian tells Zainab...
25:56What?
25:56Although I'm utterly irresistible to women,
25:59prolonged exposures made Zainab invulnerable,
26:02she wouldn't understand the magic.
26:04Hop it.
26:04What are you doing?
26:06What are you doing?
26:06Go.
26:10Okay.
26:37Yeah.
26:43I know what people around here think of me.
26:46Self-opinionated, grasping, pompous.
26:49Tight.
26:50Don't forget tight.
26:53Am I tight?
26:55Is there a point to this or are you just whirling?
26:58The point is they're right.
27:01I...
27:01I know I'm an idiot.
27:05No, I've made me mistakes.
27:06I mean, lots of them.
27:08Cindy, Mel, Laura.
27:12But you're not one of them.
27:15Me being with you is me getting it right.
27:18Okay?
27:19What I'm trying to say is...
27:22I'm willing to give it a go.
27:24If that's what you really want.
27:26That we can...
27:28try and adopt.
27:33Here you go.
27:35Right, come on in.
27:36What's the next stage?
27:38Well, if we get a provisional acceptance,
27:41there'll be visits and meetings.
27:43And after all of that, if they still think we're up to it,
27:47we'll just wait.
27:49We might have to wait a long time, you know?
27:51Especially if we want to hold out for a baby.
27:55Baby?
27:56Be weird doing all that again.
27:59Well, I never have.
28:03So what would you prefer?
28:04Boy? Girl?
28:06Dunno.
28:06Oh, come on, you're masculine, it's something.
28:09Badly thought of anything else.
28:12What's the matter?
28:15Nothing.
28:16It's late and I'm tired, I'm sorry.
28:18Jane, I'm trying to do the right thing here.
28:22You can't.
28:25I thought you could.
28:28But you can't.
28:29Look, I'm backing down here.
28:32I'm saying it's okay.
28:34I love you, Ian.
28:37I appreciate what you're trying to do here, but...
28:41It can't work.
28:46What do you want me to say?
28:48No, just tell me, what do you want me to say?
28:50I want you to tell me...
28:53...that you want this baby.
28:56I want you to look me in the eye...
28:59...and tell me you want this child.
29:07You can't, can you?
29:10It's not your fault, you just can't.
29:13Jane...
29:15I want you, okay?
29:17And I want you to be happy.
29:21That's not the same thing.
29:23People make sacrifices all the time.
29:25You see, sacrifice.
29:27Sacrifice.
29:28I don't want to bring a baby into this house, into our lives.
29:31Knowing that every time you look at it, you're thinking about what you've given up.
29:35I wouldn't.
29:36You wouldn't be able to help yourself.
29:41I didn't want to believe it, but it was always going to come to this.
29:46This moment, right here, right now.
29:51It's a choice.
29:58I've called for a cab.
30:03I'll find a hotel for tonight.
30:08If I don't go now.
30:10If I wait until the morning.
30:12If I see the kids, then I won't leave.
30:14And I really need to, Ian.
30:15I really need some time to think.
30:21Ian?
30:23What have I told the kids?
30:27Tell them I've gone away for a few days.
30:29Tell them I've gone to see mum and dad.
30:33If you go now, you don't come back.
30:37What?
30:39You said it was about choices.
30:42Okay, that's your choice.
30:43If you leave now, you stay away forever.
30:46That's not what I want.
30:47I've got to think about my children.
30:49The ones upstairs asleep.
30:50The two big ones and the little one that calls your mummy.
30:53I'm going to leave now before we both say things we regret.
30:56If you leave now, you don't come back.
30:57Ian, don't let this ruin everything.
31:00Ian, I'm not the one who's put us here.
31:02I can't help the way I feel.
31:04You knew I had kids when we got together.
31:08If they're not enough to satisfy your maternal instincts,
31:10then maybe we shouldn't have got married.
31:13I didn't feel like this at the time.
31:15What are we supposed to do then?
31:18Reconstruct our lives.
31:19Reconstruct our family on the basis of some biological whim.
31:24You horrible, horrible little man.
31:27Look, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
31:29Call me whatever you want.
31:31Okay?
31:32Are you going to choose some kid that may not even exist yet,
31:36or three kids that are upstairs asleep and who love you and who need you?
31:41And me.
31:46You really don't understand, do you?
31:50I don't.
31:52I really don't.
32:00Jane, please.
32:03If you go, I won't take you back.
32:19Jane!
32:21Jane, don't do this!
32:24Just drive, please.
32:26Jane!
32:26Jane!
32:28Jane!
32:30Jane!
