00:02So what time are you meeting your dad now?
00:04Two.
00:06Look, I know this is difficult for you
00:08and I don't want you to feel pressurised into anything.
00:10No, I don't. I'm good.
00:12Really?
00:13I've got to face up to him eventually
00:15and I can't keep expecting you to pay my way.
00:18It's not fair.
00:22Let me sit here.
00:37What? No hug from my favourite daughter, huh?
00:42Your only daughter.
00:43Exactly. I've been lonely in here.
00:49Look at you.
00:51More like your mother every day.
00:54Why haven't you come before?
00:56I've been busy.
00:58You're ashamed of me.
01:00No, it's just...
01:02It's hard coming here.
01:04Seeing you in here.
01:06I know.
01:07It can't be easy for you.
01:09The thought that my foolishness has affected you.
01:12The way you are viewed.
01:15Well...
01:15That breaks my heart.
01:18I'm doing okay, actually.
01:20I'm pleased.
01:22And how have you been?
01:24You look well.
01:26Better than I imagined.
01:28I'm surviving.
01:30Respect counts for a lot in here.
01:33I know, Tester.
01:34And it's given me time to reflect.
01:37On what?
01:38On how self-involved I've been.
01:41How much I've missed out on already.
01:43Yeah.
01:48I have a picture of you in my room.
01:50You must be...
01:51What?
01:52Seven or eight?
01:53Such a sweet little thing.
01:56And you're holding on to a doll.
01:58You wouldn't be parted from that doll, remember?
02:00You called her Alice.
02:03After your favourite book.
02:05No, I didn't.
02:06Yes, you did.
02:08The one with the red hair, remember?
02:10It was called Pippi.
02:13Because my favourite book was Pippi Longstocking.
02:16I bought you so many dolls.
02:19Perhaps one was called Alice, no?
02:21Perhaps.
02:25The point is, I want to make up for lost time.
02:30I've got some money tucked away for our future.
02:32No more elaborate schemes.
02:34Just you and I in a beautiful house.
02:38Doesn't even have to be England.
02:39A dad wait.
02:40Or it can be, if you'd prefer.
02:41No, it's not that.
02:42It's just...
02:44The reason why I came here is that I've got some news.
02:55Said and I got back together.
03:01We're getting married on New Year's Day.
03:03No!
03:09I won't allow it.
03:11What makes you think you've got the power to stop it?
03:12Where does this impudence come from?
03:14Is it safe?
03:15Don't be ridiculous.
03:16The Ymirah I knew before wouldn't talk to her father like this
03:18and she would have come to visit before now too.
03:22I'm wondering if you were this strict when Mum was alive.
03:26What would she think of you now?
03:29I know what you're doing here, Ymirah.
03:31Do you?
03:33It's just like when you set fire to my Persian rug when you were 13 years old.
03:36What's that got to do with me marrying Said?
03:39You're trying to get my attention.
03:40And you've got it.
03:42This isn't about you, Dad.
03:44This is about me.
03:46And what I want from life.
03:47You can't possibly know.
03:49Your choice of Said proves that.
03:51Why?
03:52I don't trust him.
03:53That boy has a dark side.
03:56You're just being overprotective.
03:57No one would be good enough for me.
03:59Of course they wouldn't.
04:01But at least I should be involved in choosing your partner.
04:04Like my family were in mine.
04:05But you fell in love with Mum.
04:11Yes.
04:14Very deeply.
04:18So, you'll understand how I feel about Said.
04:23If you really want to make amends for what's happened, you'll give me your blessing.
04:29It's fine.
04:31It's the only way.
04:33It's the only way.
04:40I won't.
04:41Everyone will get sound-sized sue.
04:45It's the only way he can bite yourself.
04:45You do it.
04:47And I'll kill on it.
05:01He's not even angry with Ghana what he gets to do with, scheme, strategy.
05:19Hey, Princess.
05:22What's that?
05:24It's the key to my dad's safety deposit box.
05:27Dodgy money for a rainy day.
05:32Well, we could bump your cousin for Zana, save us buying earplugs.
05:36It's two weeks away. We're not bumping anyone.
05:38Fine, we won't eat then.
05:39We'll just get everyone to bring a dish in them.
05:42It's only a fool.
05:43Bill!
05:46Is Ian about?
05:47He's under the...
05:48No.
05:51Supplier?
05:52The supplier.
05:55Well, just tell him I'm looking for him, now.
06:03Chip shop.
06:04Sorry.
06:10What? You want me to tell the guy we're hiding a fugitive?
06:13He was hiding himself.
06:14I don't think Phil Mitchell does the fine points of law.
06:18Look, Zee, weddings aren't all about money.
06:22They love each other. That's what counts.
06:25You think this is about them?
06:27It's a wedding.
06:30Hi.
06:37Come on.
06:38Er, where?
06:39Rainy day. What else?
06:40That's your father's money.
06:41Well, it's not like he can spend it.
06:43Your parents trying to save every single penny they can,
06:46and my dad's sitting on a gold mine, to which I've got the key.
06:48Well, we should ask him.
06:49No.
06:50He's your father.
06:50And you're my husband.
06:52Well, you will be with a few more pennies.
06:57I love you, you better.
06:58I should think you do.
07:01Oh, we've got to go cash and carry.
07:03You couldn't start on those onions, could you?
07:06And, er, dance rehearsals later, yeah?
07:13What?
07:14I mean, his father's contribution.
07:16Your father?
07:17Oh, this is wonderful.
07:18This is amazing mess.
07:20Yeah, amazing.
07:21Have you counted it?
07:23Mum.
07:23Oh, come on, the man's a crook.
07:24No offence, darling.
07:25Oh, no offence taken, aren't they?
07:27Now nothing is going to ruin the big dinner.
07:37We could save us a deposit for a one-bedroom flat.
07:40Yeah, where's the baby going to sleep?
07:42OK, a two-bed, until we have another one.
07:45Oh, but then we'll have a house with a garden and a swing.
07:53Me, you, two kids.
07:57Paradise.
07:59Er, dance rehearsal?
08:01Now!
08:03Mark!
08:22Amira?
08:25But money it really is my dad's contribution, but he just doesn't know he's made it right
08:31Amira worry uncle G. You know nothing about it
08:41Great band, eh? Yeah, shame they couldn't stretch to a tree

10:36I don't even know why you're here
10:37Well with Christian or Bingo you think you can manage on your own?
10:41Look this is not just a nice little dance you're going to do on your Mendy night alright?
10:44The boys just jump about a bit and everybody laughing and joking
10:47That's kind of how I pictured it
10:49With her father thinking that he's better than us
10:51He may have the money but we've got the moves
10:54And what time do you call this?
10:58Said I
10:58Listen we can't have a dance rehearsal without a dance organiser

13:4212
13:42Christian just can't help himself
13:44Oh dear god forbid
13:47Is that why I keep catching him standing around staring at him?
13:50Oh no no no no no
13:52No he's pining for you?
13:54With the shame of it!
13:55I could not cope with that!
13:56I'm joking!
13:58Of course I'm joking, aren't I?
14:00Christian is our friend!
14:03Amira you...
14:05I mean why?
14:06I mean really why Christian?
14:08Really!
14:09I mean all the men in the white universe and I married them
14:11Because you love him?
14:14Why did I do it?
14:16It doesn't mean you have to like him.
14:18It doesn't mean you're going to understand him.
14:21You know, all that I'll take and nothing has changed.
14:25Truly.
14:26I...
14:28If I'd promised, if...
14:30If it was just about me...
14:34I could go.
14:36Honestly.
14:37Won't go away, though, would it?
14:40When you love someone...
14:42I'll just make it stop.
14:45I'm sick to death of him and his stupid, selfish choices.
14:49Do you know how many hours I spent in that rented room
14:51just waiting for Ian to think about you?
14:54Factor you in?
14:56Care enough?
14:58Yeah.
15:00Come here.
15:02Oh, I don't know, sis.
15:05Maybe we're destined.
15:08You know, fall in love with the worst possible bloke.
15:11I've had your heart broken into a million pointless pieces.
15:16Maybe it's genetic.
15:18I mean, there's always mum.
15:20When you want to start talking, blame.
15:25You don't do love.
15:28You do one-night stands and dodgy late-night clubs.
15:32I'll tell you what, let's have a mince party.
15:33Christian?
15:33No way.
15:35Look, I didn't say anything about me.
15:37Who is he?
15:37You are not leaving us from until you tell me.
15:40All right.
15:45It's...
15:47He's...
15:50He's amazing.
15:53Really.
15:54I can't stop thinking about him, you know?
15:56I catch myself and...
15:58We haven't spoken in a while, so I've turned into some sort of stalker.
16:02You know, stood outside his house, underneath his window,
16:05hoping to bump into him, catch a glimpse.
16:06I mean, I don't know, babe, it's pathetic, really.
16:09Yes, yes, yes!
16:11All these years and you are finally falling.
16:13I mean, you've got to bring him over tonight.
16:15Oh, no, I don't.
16:15Okay, okay, okay, we'll go out for lunch tomorrow.
16:16Well, argy-bargy table for four.
16:18Well, he's from our near then.
16:20I mean, do I know him?
16:23He's family.
16:24They don't know.
16:25He thinks they disown him or something.
16:28Oh, he's not a family.
16:29It's about you two.
16:29No.
16:31No, that's the difference.
16:33You see, my man's not mine.
16:36He's got a girlfriend, Jane.
16:38He can't love me back.
16:44Merry Christmas.
16:47Merry Christmas.
17:19All we have to do now is sort out the dance rehearsals.
17:22Don't start, Amira.
17:23When are you and Christian going to just get to make up?
17:25I was beginning to wonder if we were working on our own today.
17:28Oh, sorry.
17:28Yeah, Amira's Mendy outfit was being delivered by couriers.
17:31They've done such a beautiful job.
17:32Well, if you don't mind, I've got a rather large order to finish.
17:35Are you all right, Jane?
17:38No, why wouldn't it be?
17:40I don't know.
17:40You just seem a bit on.
17:42Lucy, can you make a start on the desserts, please?
17:44This is slave labour.
17:45Yeah.
17:46I'm assuming I can leave you to deal with a savoury buffet?
17:50Of course.
17:51Then I'll start packing the crackers.
17:53Thanks, Paul.
17:55Hiya.
17:56Um, listen, I'm looking for a job.
17:59You know, full-time, part-time, anything.
18:01Really.
18:05Sorry for bothering you.
18:06Um, no, Bradley, when can you start?
18:09Sorry?
18:09We've got a few functions coming up over Christmas in the year.
18:12Oh, dear, that'd be great.
18:13Well, I'll pop back tomorrow and we'll get you started on your induction.
18:16I don't know what to say.
18:17Thanks, Jane.
18:17Merry Christmas, Bradders.
18:19Look, I'm sorry I'm late.
18:21Where have you been?
18:22Taking your advice.
18:29I need to talk to you.
18:30I think we've said all there is to say, don't you?
18:33Christian, what do I have to do to tempt you back to dance rehearsal?
18:35I've already told you.
18:36I'm not interested.
18:38Oh, but we need your help.
18:41Wrong.
18:41I hate to break it to you, but not all gay men are extra and born choreographers, all right?
18:46I don't get you two.
18:48One minute you're the best of friends, next minute you can't stand the sight of each other.
18:51All right, that's everything packed and ready to go.
18:53Well, I'm not done yet.
18:54Just get changed, Lucy.
18:57Um, Saeed, would you and Amira take the first batch over, please?
18:59Well, I could help Saeed, if you like.
19:01No, I need you here.
19:02Well, if it's the same to you, I'd rather not.
19:03Just do what I say, yeah?
19:05I mean, he's in trouble.
19:11What the hell have you done, Christian?
19:16Six months!
19:17Look, I'm sorry, Jane, but I didn't think to send out engraved announcements.
19:21Well, who else knows about this?
19:24Just Lucy.
19:25You told her before you told your own sister?
19:27Funnily enough, Lucy finding out was never part of the plan.
19:30And I take it, Amira doesn't know.
19:33You think I'd still be here if she did?
19:34This is too much to get my head around.
19:36Saeed isn't gay?
19:37Then he's a damn good actor.
19:39He's getting married next week.
19:40Well, excuse me if I don't join him with the celebrations.
19:43You know, you never change, do you, Christian?
19:44You always want me you can't have.
19:46Even when we were kids, you wanted to play with my toys.
19:48You don't know what you're talking about.
19:50Well, they all crack in the end, don't they?
19:51I mean, who's next on the list?
19:52Jack Brannan?
19:53Ian?
19:54I love him.
19:56Like you loved my first husband.
19:58You don't know the meaning of the word.
20:01Have you thought about the repercussions for our family, for this business?
20:04No.
20:05Because I was too busy getting my heart broken.
20:10You got any idea what it's been like for me?
20:13Watching them plan their whole lives together.
20:17You know what, sis?
20:19I thought you'd be the one person come out fighting my corner.
20:27Owen, just for the record, he came on to me.
20:44Is it still going on?
20:46We ended it a couple of weeks ago.
20:49Then there's nothing to worry about, is there?
20:52Sayid goes off and gets married, leaving you to find someone who's unattached.
20:57Like it's that simple.
20:59What other solution is there, Christian?
21:08Tickets to Barcelona?
21:10It's like you said.
21:11Why should we let his family stand in our way?
21:13I didn't know you were talking about Sayid.
21:15And that makes a difference, does it?
21:17It makes all the difference.
21:20Do you know what, Jane?
21:22You're a hypocrite.
21:26I can't let you do this.
21:27We could just get away from Walford, the mosque.
21:30We might stand a chance.
21:31This is madness.
21:33I love him.
21:38Then you're on your own.
21:44Yeah.
21:52Bradley!
21:53Listen, I'm meant to be having my induction.
21:56Where's Christian?
21:58Ah, well, your guess is as good as mine.
22:00Tell me, Bradley, what qualities do you think you need to work here?
22:03Well, I have a distinction in advanced accountancy.
22:11You start on me.
22:13I need you to come with me.
22:15Look, there's work to be done here.
22:17Please, Si.
22:19It's important.
22:21Yeah, who says this?
22:26I would say it's all about attention to detail.
22:30Those need peeling and dicing.
22:34Oh, hi, Christian.
22:51What are you playing at?
22:52I need to talk to you.
22:53Look, Amira will be out any minute.
22:55Do you remember what you said to me?
22:57Just before your dad's crash.
22:59I don't want to talk about this.
23:00You told me.
23:01You loved me.
23:04Now, you look me in the eyes
23:05and you tell me you didn't mean that.
23:09I can't do this anymore, Si.
23:12Watching the two of you together
23:15is killing me.
23:16And what are you saying?
23:18That I need to get away.
23:21For how long?
23:22It's a one-way ticket.
23:25One for me
23:26and there's one for you.
23:29Just think about it.
23:32We slip away now
23:33and Zainab need never know.
23:35This is our chance.
23:37A new life together.
23:40Away from here.
23:41You're out of your mind.
23:43Why keep pretending?
23:48Taxi's booked for six o'clock.
23:56Even from his humble beginnings,
23:58one thing was certain.
24:00Bold to two loving parents,
24:02this special baby
24:03was going to change our lives forever.
24:07God bless us, everyone.
24:09There is good child
24:13Jesus Christ
24:14was born
24:16on Christmas Day
24:19and then we'll live
24:22for more
24:24because of Christmas Day
24:29Once again
24:34I'm in all
24:35I'm in all
24:43You'll find your Saeed one day, babe.
25:09So?
25:10Which one?
25:12That one.
25:14You haven't been listening
25:15to a word I've said, have you?
25:16Sorry?
25:17Tablecloths for the reception.
25:19Your mum likes this one,
25:20I like this one.
25:20We've got three days to decide.
25:22Is it me
25:22or are they both
25:23pretty much the same?
25:27Seems wrong, doesn't it?
25:28Thinking about something
25:29so trivial
25:29when someone's been murdered.
25:34You miss him, don't you?
25:37Christian.
25:38What, Christian?
25:40I can tell
25:42ever since he went.
25:43I hadn't even thought
25:43about him.
25:45I don't blame you.
25:46I miss him too.
25:47Don't worry,
25:48he'll be back soon.
25:52That one.
25:53Really?
25:54Yeah, definitely.
25:56Mwah.
26:05Hey, Lucy.
26:09Did you have a good Christmas?
26:11Not really.
26:13Right.
26:14Let me guess.
26:16You want to know about Christian?
26:17I just wondered if you'd heard from him, that's all.
26:20Yeah.
26:21I've heard from him.
26:22Look, is he okay?
26:24Yeah, he's fine.
26:26Actually, he's great.
26:27He's in Barcelona at the moment.
26:29He's not coming back.
26:30What?
26:31He wouldn't say why,
26:32but I've got a pretty good idea.
26:34Hey, the wedding's in a couple of days, isn't it?
26:36Good luck with that.
26:37Good luck with that.
