00:00:04Horses here already can you believe it? Not before 12 I said. This is Walford not
00:00:08Wyoming. I mean what's it going to eat? Concrete? Oh Papu. What? You look so... So
00:00:21what, Mum? So very, very handsome.
00:00:33About five minutes. Is that it? I thought you'd done nails. That's toe nails. Toes? Which
00:00:39you're wearing to this wedding, darling. Flip-flops. Anyway, I've been given strict instructions.
00:00:44You've got to be out of here by one so that John Wayne out there can start his trick.
00:00:48Oh, I wish I could watch him. I bet he looked great riding on that horse.
00:00:50Yeah. Well, there's sandwiches here. You want one? Wheat makes me bloat. Well, I'll have
00:00:54hers. That's not a real ruby, I'm afraid. But it is real gold. Nine carat. Nine, you
00:01:07say? I don't think you can tell the difference, do you? It's very, er, pretty. Oh, you're
00:01:18cheeky. How many carrots? Eighteen. And the ruby's from Gilgit. I've got shelves to buy
00:01:22it. Sheld, madam. We'll see you soon, I'm sure. Soon. Anyway, who needs a daughter when
00:01:29you've got a Hunza Valley ruby, eh? Bushra will turn green. And to think that you were
00:01:34once that tiny baby in my arms, all pale and fragile. Seekly baby, yes, I know. What,
00:01:39I can't be over-sentimental on this day of all days? Goat. You're not losing me. This
00:01:46marriage will bring great joy to you. To all of us. There are four doldrumers standing
00:01:51outside. Should I get him a cup of tea or something? Whatever you think. Fine.
00:02:00Sooth. Tea. Are you going to tell me why you're in such a foul mood? Tea. Is it still
00:02:06about the money? Not any more, no. Well, what then? Okay. Why didn't you invite
00:02:12Inzamam? I did. They couldn't make it. Right. That's not what he said. You've spoken
00:02:20to him? Yes. We met up. I needed the loan. You asked him for money? Well, how else do you
00:02:25think we're going to pay cutting back? Why didn't you invite him, Zeek? Yoo-hoo!
00:02:31Look, maybe I was mistaken, all right? Maybe I forgot. You forgot? You forgot to invite my
00:02:37brother? Look, please, can we discuss this later? I have to get to the venue. I'm so
00:02:41excited. The last wedding I went to was at the Dorchester. It'll be refreshing to see
00:02:46something simpler. More provincial. Zainab, you, uh, you don't have to do this. I mean,
00:02:52I have got everything in hand. I want every aspect of this wedding checked and checked
00:02:56again. Nothing is going to ruin my bare special day.
00:03:08I'll phone Mum. There's a flight leaving Heathrow for Miami tonight at 9.30. You should be
00:03:16on it. I miss the wedding of the year. Oh, please, Christian. You'll only embarrass yourself.
00:03:21And you. All right. Show up at the wedding. Kick up a fuss. What good is it going to do?
00:03:26He's never going to choose you. He can't.
00:03:32Zainab will be devastated. And Masood. Probably never speak to us again when you think of the
00:03:37effect on the business. The business? It isn't nothing, Christian. And if you want to think
00:03:41about people and feelings, what about Amira? You know what, Jane? You're right. It's far
00:03:53better that she marries a gay man. She'll be totally humiliated. Not if I do it right. There
00:03:59is no way of doing this right. And you'll hurt him. You'll hurt Zainab. I know you don't
00:04:05want to do that. Yes, I do. Because he's a coward. He knows what he is and what he wants.
00:04:16And he's turning his back on me because he's scared. Well, can you blame him? And you know
00:04:19what else, Jane? You're a coward too. Because you know the truth. Yet you are quite happy
00:04:25with this farceful wedding to roll on because you don't want the business damaged or your family
00:04:30embarrassed. It isn't like that. Well, I'm your family too, Jane. I am your brother. And
00:04:36even if you don't give a damn about me, what about them, eh? Eh? Happy couple. You think
00:04:43they're going to be so happy five years down the line when she finds out what he really is?
00:05:02Ruin those shoes. You look so smart. I thought you'd be getting ready. Oh, Denise popped
00:05:10out so I thought I'd get some fresh air. And I'm so glad you're back. Said hasn't been
00:05:16the same without you. I'm sure he's been just fine. Your friendship means more to him than
00:05:20you think. And I'm glad you're going to be there today. I'll see you later. At my wedding.
00:05:32Chelsea should travel with Amira. ETA? 1.15. OK. Said will arrive at 13.45. Bushra? Myself
00:05:37and the girls will meet you at the door and distribute garnets. And? And? Confetti. Bushra.
00:05:42Confetti. You are Amira's stand-in family for today. Please do not let her down. Right. 13.45.
00:05:48Your movements? Shirley's doing drinks. Heber's doing nibbles. That's the best you could do?
00:05:52It's no use dating agency. You can only send four people. All right. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine.
00:05:55Fine. Just switch roles. All right? Skinny one does food. The Imran Khan suite.
00:06:01Oh. The temple of dreams. Beyond these doors lies a vision of spellbinding majesty.
00:06:32Awesome.
00:06:32Hey, hey. Look a little tambo. Some lucky lady's definitely going to want a piece of that.
00:06:36Don't. Unparalleled enough as it is. Anyway. Message from Afia.
00:06:42Hey, weirdo. What's your eye prescription? Afia. Kiss-kiss.
00:06:47What does she mean? Is I prescripting some sort of youth slang that passed me by?
00:06:51Come through. Come through.
00:06:54Wake!
00:06:58Ah! Here he is.
00:07:00The golden boy on his wedding day. Asalaamu Alaikum.
00:07:04Alaikum Asalaam.
00:07:05Uncle Imzumam.
00:07:07Aunt Fatima.
00:07:11We're so pleased you could make it.
00:07:13So are we.
00:07:14Now that somebody actually saw fit to let us know.
00:07:18I don't want to see them, all right? I haven't even finished getting ready yet.
00:07:21Just put your head round the door, smile, and say sorry about the mitzvah.
00:07:24They just need a bit of Xena pixie dust, that's all.
00:07:27See, hang on. See, wait.
00:07:29You know, he's brought the money to pay Khadim back.
00:07:32The least you could do is extend him a bit of courtesy.
00:07:34I will not apologise to that smug, overbearing, awful man.
00:07:43Masood's got your money.
00:07:49You'll have to go.
00:07:51I can't.
00:07:55What is it?
00:07:58What's wrong?
00:07:59You look exquisite.
00:08:11You look just like your mother.
00:08:16We were thinking of entering Ali for the junior chess champs again, but we decided against.
00:08:22Children no longer provide a stiff enough challenge.
00:08:25So adult chess it is.
00:08:28Adult chess.
00:08:29Is that when you get to see a bit of the Queen's cleavage?
00:08:34I'm sorry.
00:08:35I just remembered there's something I need to do.
00:08:42Pity Shubnam couldn't make it.
00:08:44Oh, well, you know.
00:08:46She had work commitments and she's a modern girl.
00:08:49We were disappointed, of course, but we understood.
00:08:51Really?
00:08:52I like to think that Jamila here would drop everything if Ali were to be married.
00:08:59It's terrible nerves.
00:09:01It's a big day for her.
00:09:03But when you've loved someone deeply and you lose them, you adopt strategies.
00:09:17Some people talk to the dead, leave rooms untouched, sleep on the same side of the bed.
00:09:33Others push everything away.
00:09:42I pushed you away.
00:09:46Dad, it's okay.
00:09:48No, no, it's not.
00:09:55Your mother would be so disappointed.
00:10:04I haven't been a father to you.
00:10:12It doesn't matter.
00:10:20Who's walking you into the nakar?
00:10:23A bushra.
00:10:25It's Aynab's friend.
00:10:28I wanted it to be Masood.
00:10:30He's done so much for me over the past year, but it's right that he should be with Saeed.
00:10:39Could you just make it a little bit more obvious that you don't like my brother and his family?
00:10:44Because I don't think they're quite getting it.
00:10:45Please, Mass.
00:10:46Well, you don't look at them. You don't talk to them.
00:10:48That's Fatima.
00:10:48Well, you're not Fatima.
00:10:50Well, maybe if you stood up for me, for your family, instead of letting him bulldoze us with his loathsome
00:10:55opinions.
00:10:56He's our guest and he's just lent us all this money.
00:10:58Yeah, but how many hours of condescension does that buy him?
00:11:01Oh, see, come on. That's his manner.
00:11:03You let him get away with it.
00:11:04He's sitting there sneering at us.
00:11:06He's insulting our children, our home, our lack of religious devotion, and you just take it.
00:11:11Oh, yes, I do.
00:11:12And do you know why I take it?
00:11:13If I stand up to him, we argue.
00:11:15And if we argue, he could withdraw that money.
00:11:17And if he does that, I can't pay for your perfect wedding.
00:11:19So please, just tell me. What do you want me to do?
00:11:21I want you to defend me.
00:11:22But no one's attacking you, Zee.
00:11:24Inzy's pompous, I know.
00:11:25And he likes to be on top, but he's harmless.
00:11:28No, he's not.
00:11:31What do you mean by that?
00:11:34Just forget it, all right, Mass?
00:11:35Please, just go in there and I will join you in a minute.
00:11:39What did you mean by that?
00:11:42Not today, please.
00:11:43Not now.
00:11:45Will you tell me?
00:11:48Zee.
00:11:48No, Mass.
00:11:49Zee.
00:11:55You didn't forget to invite him, did you?
00:12:01Look at me.
00:12:06Everything, now.
00:12:15I was married when we fell in love.
00:12:19I'm tainted.
00:12:22A fallen woman.
00:12:24And in Inzamam's eyes, a fallen woman is fair game.
00:12:27Whether she be married to his brother or not.
00:12:34You mean he made advances?
00:12:38Many.
00:12:57You look good.
00:12:58What do you want, Christian?
00:13:02I don't know.
00:13:05It's my wedding day.
00:13:10Wish me well.
00:13:15That's just it.
00:13:19I can't.
00:13:26Stand up.
00:13:28What's this?
00:13:30You want to check I'm still taller than you?
00:13:32Stand up!
00:13:40Are we going to wrestle?
00:13:43I don't think you've beaten me yet.
00:13:53I know.
00:13:55Know what?
00:14:05All your money.
00:14:07And 20 quid for the petrol.
00:14:08You are not invited to the wedding
00:14:11and you're no longer welcome in this house.
00:14:12Do you got that?
00:14:18I see your wife's unpredictable nature
00:14:20has rubbed off on you.
00:14:21You know what?
00:14:22My wife has a name.
00:14:23And for the record,
00:14:25she is the most remarkable person
00:14:26I've ever met.
00:14:27She's your superior in so many ways
00:14:29I couldn't even begin to list them.
00:14:31Now get out of my house!
00:14:33I'll go, tell her.
00:14:49And how are you going to pay
00:14:50for all this now, hmm?
00:14:51How much does that horse cost, Masuda?
00:14:53These drummers?
00:14:54The whole drummers
00:14:55are ten a penny.
00:14:57But no offence.
00:14:58Venue costs.
00:14:59Food, entertainment.
00:15:00Will your righteous anger
00:15:01pay for all that?
00:15:02No.
00:15:03But I will.
00:15:05All of it.
00:15:07Emir has told me everything
00:15:08you've done for her
00:15:09whilst I've been away.
00:15:12You've been a father to her
00:15:13when I wasn't.
00:15:15The money owe me.
00:15:17Keep it, eh?
00:15:20I want to pay
00:15:21for my daughter's wedding.
00:15:28As-salamu alaykum.
00:15:33As-salamu alaykum.
00:15:34Wa alaykum as-salam.
00:15:36Are we ready to go?
00:15:37Absolutely.
00:15:38So where's Saeed?
00:15:41Didn't sleep a wink last night.
00:15:46Turning everything over in my mind.
00:15:50Should I tell Amira?
00:15:53Your family?
00:15:56Here on the square
00:15:57before the ceremony?
00:15:58Tell them what, exactly?
00:15:59That you're gay.
00:16:00Isn't that for me to decide?
00:16:01Well, I think the evidence
00:16:02is pretty compelling, don't you?
00:16:03Are you trying to blackmail me
00:16:05into telling them myself?
00:16:06No!
00:16:06No!
00:16:09No, of course not.
00:16:11So what exactly do you want me to do?
00:16:13I want you
00:16:14to be true to yourself.
00:16:16True to myself?
00:16:19You make it sound as if
00:16:20being attracted to men
00:16:21is the only part of me
00:16:22that matters.
00:16:23Yes, I'm gay.
00:16:25There, I've said it.
00:16:27But I'm also
00:16:28a son.
00:16:31A brother.
00:16:33A friend.
00:16:35A Muslim.
00:16:38Am I just supposed to throw away
00:16:40all those other aspects of me?
00:16:41Of course you don't
00:16:42throw them away, Si.
00:16:45But people would adjust.
00:16:46You'll never understand,
00:16:47will you?
00:16:48This isn't about people
00:16:49adjusting.
00:16:50This is about me,
00:16:51Christian.
00:16:54My family.
00:16:56My faith.
00:16:58It's my choice.
00:17:07I'm gay.
00:17:08And I love you.
00:17:17I wish I didn't,
00:17:18but there you go.
00:17:20So be with me.
00:17:22Please.
00:17:28I mean,
00:17:29what'd you even
00:17:29come here for anyway?
00:17:31Because I miss you.
00:17:34Because I wanted to see you.
00:17:39Because I hoped
00:17:40you might say
00:17:41it's all okay.
00:17:42Well, I can't pretend
00:17:43that it is.
00:17:48I'm going to marry Amira.
00:17:54If you can make it,
00:17:55we'd both
00:17:55be pleased to see you.
00:18:01That's how it has to be
00:18:01from now on.
00:18:35What was wrong with him?
00:18:37Who?
00:18:38Christian.
00:18:39Looked like he was crying.
00:18:40Was he crying?
00:18:41I don't know.
00:18:43Well, who else
00:18:44is in there?
00:18:45No one.
00:18:46Mum.
00:18:48It was just me and him.
00:18:51Was he...
00:18:52Was he trying
00:18:53to proposition you?
00:18:54No.
00:18:54Tell me,
00:18:54the man is infatuated
00:18:56an hour before
00:18:58your wedding.

00:19:00No, Mum.

00:19:05We need to get going,

00:31:15Oh, hello.
00:31:23Is it true?
00:31:26Is what true?
00:31:27Don't toy with me, Said.
00:31:29I saw your face when I got out of the car.
00:31:31He must have rung you.
00:31:34Who?
00:31:37Christian!
00:31:39Well, I don't know what he's told you.
00:31:42So what, did he just phone you for a quick chat then?
00:31:44How are you doing, Said, huh?
00:31:46On the way to your wedding.
00:31:48Oh, by the way,
00:31:49I just told your mother that you were a...
00:31:55a homosexual.
00:31:59He shouldn't have said that.
00:32:02Because he's lying?
00:32:04Or because he's breaking a confidence?
00:32:09Is he lying?
00:32:10Yes!
00:32:11Yes!
00:32:16So you and he,
00:32:19he made it all up?
00:32:25Saif?
00:32:28Not all.
00:32:29I have been tempted.
00:32:36life is always throwing up temptations.
00:32:41What sets us above
00:32:44is that we resist them.
00:32:49I knew he was lying.
00:32:50I knew it.
00:32:52And then to torture me
00:32:54with this deceit
00:32:55on this day of all days?
00:32:57Oh, I tell you,
00:32:58until I get a hold of him,
00:32:59I am going to wring his neck.
00:33:01Mama.
00:33:01Do you know
00:33:02that he actually fabricated
00:33:03an entire relationship?
00:33:06That he just,
00:33:07he made up this,
00:33:08this sick imaginary affair
00:33:10and this twisted,
00:33:11perverted mind of his.
00:33:13And this wasn't just
00:33:14some top shelf fantasy in all this.
00:33:16He used the word love,
00:33:17Saif.
00:33:18He actually believes
00:33:19that he loves you.
00:33:20How sick is this?
00:33:21Don't talk about him like that!
00:33:37Saif.
00:33:41I'm gay, Mum.
00:33:47I'm gay.
00:33:49And I love him.
00:34:03A mixed sex,
00:34:05and a car,
00:34:06and a Velima on the same day?
00:34:08You're being very daring,
00:34:09Miss Sue.
00:34:09Yeah, well,
00:34:10danger is my middle name.
00:34:11What's wrong with
00:34:12having him beg
00:34:13on the same day anyway?
00:34:14Well, traditionally,
00:34:15the marriage would have been
00:34:15consummated between
00:34:16the two ceremonies.
00:34:17And how do you know
00:34:18it won't be?
00:34:20I don't know.
00:34:24Maybe we could delay
00:34:25the wedding.
00:34:27Delay?
00:34:28I can't go through
00:34:28with this now.
00:34:30There are over
00:34:31a hundred people
00:34:33waiting outside that door.
00:34:35We could say
00:34:35I was sick,
00:34:35I don't know,
00:34:36food poisoning.
00:34:37You want me
00:34:38to turn away
00:34:39our guests
00:34:40because of
00:34:41some misplaced
00:34:42crush?
00:34:43I love him, Mum.
00:34:45I've tried not to,
00:34:46but I can't help it.
00:34:47Well, then try harder.
00:34:48Try harder.
00:34:48I've fought
00:34:49day in,
00:34:50day out for months now.
00:34:51Well, then fight
00:34:51harder,
00:34:52say,
00:34:52fight harder!
00:34:53And dance for myself!
00:34:55Is that what you want
00:34:56for me?
00:34:57To carry on
00:34:59bludgeoning myself
00:35:00every single day
00:35:01for the rest of my life?
00:35:02You are better that
00:35:03than others do it for you.
00:35:05You're not even
00:35:06listening to me.
00:35:07I've heard every word
00:35:08you have to say,
00:35:09Saeed.
00:35:11But what I will not do,
00:35:12what I cannot do,
00:35:14is to hug you
00:35:15and pat you
00:35:16and tell you
00:35:17that everything
00:35:17is going to be okay,
00:35:18Saeed,
00:35:19because it is not!
00:35:25You choose to walk
00:35:26this path,
00:35:27you walk it alone,
00:35:29outside of
00:35:30Allah's love.
00:35:32And you?
00:35:37What about your love?
00:35:43I don't know
00:35:44what to do, Mum.
00:35:46Oh, please.
00:35:49Please, Mum.
00:35:49Please, don't touch me!
00:35:51Mum, I'm your son!
00:35:57You are my son.
00:36:01And as your mother,
00:36:03I am telling you,
00:36:07marry Amira.
00:36:14Time passes.
00:36:17You learn to love her.
00:36:22You'll have children.
00:36:24You'll become
00:36:25a wonderful father.
00:36:27And all this,
00:36:30in the context
00:36:31of her life,
00:36:33it will fade
00:36:35to nothing.
00:36:36I don't bother.
00:36:39I don't know.
00:36:44I'm sorry.
00:36:50I'm sorry.
00:36:52I'm sorry.
00:36:55I'm sorry.
00:37:04But I'm sorry.
00:37:20Oh, there you are.
00:37:33Everything all right?
00:37:36Yeah, absolutely.
00:37:40Well, you don't need this now.
00:37:44Come on.
00:37:49It's all right to feel some misgivings, you know.
00:37:52No responsible person enters into a lifelong contract without feeling those.
00:38:01There she is.
00:38:03The original yummy mummy.
00:38:07Yeah, well, we don't want to keep people waiting.
00:38:09We should go up.
00:38:15All right?
00:38:22Keep the change.
00:38:22Cheers, mate.
00:38:42Is she ready?
00:38:43Thunderbirds are go.
00:38:45What are your glasses, Tamar?
00:38:46Uh, Af, I thought it was time for a change.
00:39:07You got yourself a cracker there, so I'll give you that.
00:39:09Good morning.
00:39:25As-Salaamu Alaikum.
00:39:26Wa-Ali-Salaamu Alaikum.
00:39:28Wa-Ali-Salaamu Alaikum.
00:39:53It is the spirit of marriage which prompts us to search for the treasures within.
00:39:59Say.
00:40:01The Quran says,
00:40:04Allah created you from a single soul
00:40:07and made its mate of like nature
00:40:11in order that you may dwell with her in love.
00:40:33Kothiran wa-Nisaam.
00:40:35Wa-Taku Alaaha Alaithi.
00:40:37Tis Alunabihi.
00:40:39Wa-Lakam in Alaaha kan Alaikham Raheba.
00:40:45Amira Shah.
00:40:47Do you accept Said Masud for your husband?
00:40:51Kabuler.
00:40:53Excuse me.
00:40:54Where's the wedding?
00:40:56Just up there, sir.
00:41:03Said Masud.
00:41:05Do you accept Amira Shah for your wife?
00:41:16Kabuler.
00:41:18Do you accept her?
00:41:21Kabuler.
00:41:33Saeed.
00:41:41I'm sorry.
00:41:46Do you accept her?
00:41:55Kabuler.
00:41:58I now pronounce you man and wife
00:42:01and may Allah rain down blessings on you and your families.
00:42:28You put them in there?
00:42:29Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:42:30Well, you might be able to get them for me, so...
00:42:33Where are we going?
00:42:39Christian!
00:42:41Christian!
00:42:45I'm sorry I was nervous about this.
00:42:47Oh, no.
00:42:48Better that than miss it.
00:42:49You weren't going, were you?
00:42:50Weddings.
00:42:50They're not really my thing.
00:42:52Come on, look.
00:42:52It's just because you've never been to a shardly before.
00:42:54The one in is the next bit.
00:42:55It's fantastic.
00:42:56Come on through.
00:42:57Was it effective for men?
00:43:00Were you açık to me?
00:43:03Ah?
00:43:05Woo!
00:43:08Whoa!
00:43:13Oh!
00:43:15Oh, my God.
00:43:22The Virgin.
00:43:23Oh
00:43:31Say shower
00:43:33Come on
00:43:42And I'm absolutely stunning. Thank you so much. I drive my best
00:43:50And I'll tell you what, that pair, they're going to have lovely looking kids.
00:43:56If you'll excuse me.
00:44:01Hey, Christian, can you take me up front? I need to give him this money.
00:44:06Just give it to him.
00:44:07I'm embarrassed to go on my own.
00:44:10Come on.
00:44:25Will you stop gulping? You're putting me on edge.
00:44:36Amira, you look beautiful. And it was a lovely service.
00:44:41I think Peter's got something for you.
00:44:43Oh, it's fun with Dan and Jane.
00:44:45Oh, thanks, Peter. Come give me a kiss.
00:44:50Oh, no.
00:44:54Are you sure you're okay?
00:44:55Yes, sir. Why wouldn't I be?
00:44:58You're eight months pregnant. You know there's a room upstairs where you can have a lie down.
00:45:03Said.
00:45:05The ring.
00:45:06The ring.
00:45:20Amira, thank you for coming into my life.
00:45:25Thank you for becoming my wife.
00:45:29I will always try to honour and protect you.
00:46:00I'll be your host.
00:46:22It's all right, dear.
00:46:23Tamwas, where is Tambo?
00:46:41Will you please put that thing away?
00:46:44All right.
00:46:45Could be a big deal.
00:46:50Well, what time do these things usually wrap up, then?
00:46:52When a couple leaves.
00:46:53Well, when's that?
00:46:54Do I look like I'm an authority on Muslim weddings?
00:46:59We're going to leave you soon after that, then, shall we?
00:47:01What's the rush, Minty?
00:47:03Why don't we just go with the clone?
00:47:10Mind if we have a quick chat?
00:47:29Maybe there could have been a few crumbs of enjoyment left for me.
00:47:34On my son's wedding day.
00:47:37But you see fit to sweep them away.
00:47:41I told you not to come.
00:47:43But here you are.
00:47:45Why?
00:47:48I had to see it for myself.
00:47:51You saw it.
00:47:53It's done.
00:47:56Now, I would like you to leave.
00:48:17Christian.
00:48:19Christian!
00:48:20Christian!
00:48:21Right.
00:48:22Settle down, ladies and gentlemen, settle down.
00:48:27With the blessings of Allah, I would like you to say a few words on this very happy day.
00:48:36Amira, unlike some fathers-in-law, I'm not going to finish up by dropping big hints about grandparenting.
00:48:42No, I'm going to leave that to my wife.
00:48:47I have no doubt at all that you will make him very happy.
00:48:54Just look at you.
00:48:55Ladies and gentlemen, look at her.
00:49:03Now, last year was indeed a year for really getting to know people.
00:49:12And perhaps one of the most unexpected pleasures of all was...
00:49:18The baby.
00:49:18No, not the baby.
00:49:20Not the baby, Tamwa.
00:49:22But yes, a little baby.
00:49:25One of the most unexpected pleasures of all was getting to know my eldest son again.
00:49:33Aww.
00:49:35Saeed, I am so proud of the man you've become.
00:49:41And together, I think you're magnificent.
00:49:57Hey, what are you doing?
00:50:01You want it back?
00:50:02You pay me.
00:50:08I'll sort it, I'll sort it.
00:50:29That was the police.
00:50:30The alarm's gone off in the arches here.
00:50:32It's probably just a cat or something.
00:50:34I've got to go.
00:50:34Do you want me to come?
00:50:35No, no.
00:50:36You have not started to do something.
00:50:37Woo!
00:50:37I think you may feel perfect but for me you can calm it up and lean for your heart,
00:50:42I don't know what you will just see you like out on the sky,
00:50:46You're so excited for me to climb it.
00:50:49I've got to go my own black Ocean,
00:50:51That's what I can talk about from you.
00:51:02Leave me,
00:51:16It's all my shoe.
00:51:20It's an Asian thing.
00:51:23I'm so sorry.
00:51:28Christian, I...
00:51:29It's okay.
00:51:34It's all right.
00:52:06Sayed?
00:52:08Who was that?
00:52:11Christian.
00:52:12Oh, left.
00:52:14He had to.
00:52:17Probably has a date knowing him.
00:52:20Shame he's going to miss the rugs at thee.
00:52:22Dad's ready to do it now.
00:52:25What is it?
00:52:26You look sad.
00:52:31No, not sad.
00:52:35You are such a beautiful woman.
00:52:38And you're my wife.
00:52:43Husband.
00:53:12Albert Square.
00:53:14Walford.
00:53:14You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:20You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:24You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:32You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:33You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:34You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:34You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:35You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:35You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:35You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:35You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:35You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:36You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:37You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:38You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:39You are such a beautiful woman.
00:53:46I just wanted to say thank you.
00:53:50It's fine.
00:53:53I'll go, your bride is waiting.
00:53:57Now can I?
00:54:19Saeed, from the moment that you were placed in my arms, I have loved you beyond any reason.
00:54:30As I said before, in time, all this will pass.
00:54:37It will fade to nothing.
00:54:53I have no right to say this, but, uh, take good care of them, aren't they?
00:55:08Woo!
00:55:10Get a roof there!
00:55:14Woo-hoo!
00:55:15Get the dance!
00:55:16Get the dance!
00:55:16Come on, come on, get the dance!
00:55:18Woo-hoo-hoo!
00:55:20Love you too.
00:55:21Love you too.
00:55:29I know you didn't plan to be here, but I'm on my own.
00:55:33I don't think it would hurt for you to leave your flat.
00:55:35Where's Zainab again?
00:55:37Oh, she's at Woodford Green.
00:55:38Gonna have the details of that wedding order.
00:55:39Right.
00:55:41I did try and call you Saturday.
00:55:42Anna rang your bell.
00:55:43I know.
00:55:44Well, you could have given me some sign you were okay.
00:55:48I thought it was Said being away, but it would make things easier.
00:56:02Where's Zainab?
00:56:04Hello.
00:56:05Hello.
00:56:05Jane.
00:56:08You know, you should have heard Said this morning.
00:56:10He rang from the hotel and they're having the most wonderful time.
00:56:13Oh, good.
00:56:13Now, how was Woodford?
00:56:15Oh, all done.
00:56:16And then Amira got onto the phone.
00:56:17I tell you, I have never heard two people so much in love.
00:56:21You could actually feel the connection between them.
00:56:23How are them all to heaves?
00:56:25Who knows?
00:56:26I don't think they've actually ventured out of their hotel rooms yet.
00:56:29Maybe we'll have something else to celebrate in nine months' time.
00:56:32Oh.
00:56:33I tell you, Amira sounded like she was positively glowing.
00:56:35Good for her.
00:56:36No, good for him.
00:56:38My boy has never been happier in his life.
00:56:52She was just doing the proud mother routine.
00:56:55Was she?
00:56:56You are gonna have to be tougher than this, Christian.
00:56:59Said is gone.
00:57:01You're over the worst.
00:57:03Not if she's got anything to do with it.
00:57:04What?
00:57:06I don't know.
00:57:07Now, hang on.
00:57:09Are you saying she knows something?
00:57:12Jane, I told her everything.
00:57:14On my wedding day.
00:57:15Well, why the hell did you do that?
00:57:16I had to.
00:57:18But she turned up at your back door.
00:57:19She was mouthing off.
00:57:21I just couldn't help myself.
00:57:24She still let him go through with it.
00:57:25Right, so that was her rubbing your nose in it just now.
00:57:28Well, I'll tell her what I think of that.
00:57:29Jane.
00:57:30Don't.
00:57:43You know what?
00:57:44I quit.
00:57:46I can't do this anymore.
00:57:48And Christian, this is your livelihood.
00:57:51Do not let yourself be bullied out of it.
00:57:53I'm not.
00:57:54I'm standing up for myself.
00:57:56Christian!
00:58:00Well, I can't believe that.
00:58:03Yeah, well, we'll manage.
00:58:04He's never been too reliable.
00:58:11Sorry, all right, Tamar.
00:58:12It's only for an hour or so, please.
00:58:14It's just Jane was meant to be covering Christian's shifts.
00:58:16And now it turns out that she's apparently too busy to do it.
00:58:19I need your help to prepare the side dishes, please.
00:58:21This is crazy.
00:58:22Just call Christian.
00:58:23Doesn't work here anymore.
00:58:24Yeah, but he owes you one after dumping you in it like this.
00:58:26It's fine.
00:58:26I can manage.
00:58:27You can't, though, can you?
00:58:29I mean, you could have just waited until Saeed got back from honeymoon.
00:58:32Oh, which reminds me.
00:58:33This came today from the happy couple.
00:58:35Oh!
00:58:36Are they, uh, having a good time?
00:58:38What do you think?
00:58:39Five-star hotels, Sunsea, and loads of sex?
00:58:41What?
00:58:43Well, you know, that's what honeymoons are for, aren't they?
00:58:45Not that I'll ever have one at this rate.
00:58:47Oh, they were made for each other.
00:58:48I knew it.
00:58:49Yeah, you know, Saeed had so many girlfriends at my age.
00:58:52And I just always get it wrong.
00:58:53I mean, you know, I wash.
00:58:54I use spot control.
00:58:54Oh, for goodness sake.
00:58:56Can't you just be happy for your brother?
00:58:58You know, being so attractive, it comes with its own set of problems.
00:59:02No, I'm not.
00:59:03Huh?
00:59:04Attractive.
00:59:05Oh, no.
00:59:06That's not what I meant.
00:59:07And some worry...
00:59:10Getting married was a big decision for Saeed.
00:59:14Right?
00:59:14He had his worries, his doubts.
00:59:18Now, I know he'll never regret it.
00:59:21Oh, you look done in, Mrs. Masood.
00:59:23I've been on my feet since 7am.
00:59:26Don't expect we'll see you tonight, then?
00:59:28Tonight?
00:59:28No, no, no.
00:59:29I'm not keen on going myself.
00:59:30You know, what with me and Denise.
00:59:31No.
00:59:31And I've even read the book.
00:59:33Don't tell Jane.
00:59:34Book club?
00:59:35No, you must be mistaken.
00:59:36You know, I'd have thought you'd want to host it yourself.
00:59:39You know, it would have been the first anniversary.
00:59:41Still, it's nice of Jane to take the pressure off.
00:59:44You did get the invite.
00:59:46Yes.
00:59:46Yes, of course.
00:59:47She's gone to an awful lot of trouble.
00:59:49She made a cake and everything.
00:59:51I'm sure she'll understand if you're too tired.
00:59:53I know what it's like myself when you're ready to pop.
00:59:56Oh, don't get the little man home.
00:59:58He's hungry.
00:59:59It's like his mum.
01:00:01All right.
01:00:02Maybe I'll see you later.
01:00:03Bye.
01:00:13I was looking for Jane.
01:00:15She's in there.
01:00:16Well, I expect she's out shopping then.
01:00:18For the party.
01:00:20I wouldn't know.
01:00:21Sorry.
01:00:21Just a minute.
01:00:24I got this today.
01:00:26From Saeed.
01:00:28Like I said, having a wonderful time.
01:00:32Who knows?
01:00:33My baby might not be the only new addition to our family.
01:00:37Would you like to read it?
01:00:42Suit yourself.
01:00:46I mean, what is she thinking of, huh?
01:00:47That anniversary party, it should be held here.
01:00:49I mean, I'm the one that started the book club.
01:00:51It was my idea.
01:00:52Mum.
01:00:52Did she think that I wouldn't find out?
01:00:53Mum.
01:00:54Look, okay, I'm trying to concentrate.
01:00:57What on earth are you doing with that?
01:00:59Look, Peter deleted some stuff.
01:01:00I'm just trying to get it back.
01:01:02But it's complicated, so if you wouldn't mind.
01:01:04Well, I hope he's paying you for it.
01:01:05That family's always after something for nothing.
01:01:08Mum, he's a friend.
01:01:09So is Jane.
01:01:13Betrayal.
01:01:14Is that your choice, Jane?
01:01:17I didn't think you'd have time to read at Zane Urban.
01:01:19You know, parties aren't much fun when you're not drinking.
01:01:21I never drink.
01:01:22Of course.
01:01:24Ev's not drinking. You invited her.
01:01:26It's obviously some sort of a mix-up, isn't it?
01:01:28You know, if anyone's got the right to be her, it's you.
01:01:30Which is more than some I can mention.
01:01:33She meant me, Cheryl.
01:01:34I knew I shouldn't have come.
01:01:36Oh, so you have got a conscience, then.
01:01:37Who the hell gives you the right to judge her like that?
01:01:39Oh, I'll tell you, shall I?
01:01:40So, what did we all think of the book, then?
01:01:43Well, I'd love to comment, but sadly...
01:01:45Anyone else?
01:01:46Okay, Hollywood glamour.
01:01:49Intrigue.
01:01:50Sex.
01:01:51Revenge.
01:01:52What more could you want?
01:01:53I wish I'd have read it now.
01:01:55Heather.
01:01:56George takes up all my time.
01:01:59You know, let's just forget the book, then, shall we?
01:02:01And just celebrate the year we've had together.
01:02:04Denise, married.
01:02:05Heather, mum.
01:02:07Zainab, pregnant.
01:02:08Oh, and my eldest son, married to the love of his life.
01:02:11Oh, I got a postcard today.
01:02:13They are having the most wonderful time.
01:02:16More in love than ever.
01:02:18Excuse me while I puke.
01:02:19Oh, it's a fairy-tile show.
01:02:21And, er, you got the happy ending you wanted.
01:02:23Said safely married at last.
01:02:25It doesn't matter what I wanted.
01:02:28Doesn't it?
01:02:29Er, Said just followed his heart.
01:02:31I hope you're right. Er, just gonna get some more wine.
01:02:39Hello, babe.
01:02:41Sorry to crash your party.
01:02:43Ian wanted me to drop the order file off to you.
01:02:47You okay?
01:02:57Well, maybe we should decide who chooses the next book, then.
01:03:02Zainab?
01:03:03Huh?
01:03:06Er...
01:03:06I've got one.
01:03:08What's that, then?
01:03:10Cradle Snatchers Guide to Life?
01:03:11That's enough, Denise.
01:03:12You know what, Shell?
01:03:13I'm not bitter.
01:03:15I'm grateful.
01:03:15Because at least Heather has showed Libby
01:03:18what a pathetic little loser Darren Miller really is.
01:03:22I just hope he's doing the right thing supporting his son.
01:03:24None of your business.
01:03:25What are you protecting him for?
01:03:26Everyone knows what a tight little git he is.
01:03:29He's still George's dad.
01:03:30I'm just going to go and see if Jane needs a hand.
01:03:35Man, I can't stomach him.
01:03:40I need to talk to Jane.
01:03:42Alone.
01:03:54You knew?
01:03:57Yes.
01:03:58How long have you known?
01:04:00What does it matter?
01:04:01It matters to me.
01:04:02How long?
01:04:05Since Christmas.
01:04:07And you thought it was morally acceptable?
01:04:11Covering for your brother whilst my son was preparing to get married?
01:04:14No, no, hang on a minute, Zainab.
01:04:16Forcing your own son to live a lie?
01:04:19Deceiving that poor girl?
01:04:21I mean, is that morally acceptable in your world, is it?
01:04:22Everything that I have done, I have done out of love.
01:04:26You wouldn't understand.
01:04:27No.
01:04:28I don't.
01:04:29Being gay is not an option in our culture.
01:04:32It's not a choice, Zainab.
01:04:34It's who he is.
01:04:35He's been led astray.
01:04:37But I am praying for him.
01:04:38And with Allah's forgiveness, it will be overcome.
01:04:41What?
01:04:42Like cancer?
01:04:46If Said was gay, his whole life would be impossible.
01:04:49He would lose his family, his friends, his livelihood, the respect of the entire community, everything.
01:04:55And I couldn't let that happen to him.
01:04:57All right?
01:04:57He'd be finished.
01:04:58Not if you stood up for him.
01:05:00He's your own son, for God's sake.
01:05:02And as his mother, it is my duty to protect him.
01:05:05From what?
01:05:05A lecherous freak of nature like my brother?
01:05:07Oh, I can see that I'm wasting my breath here.
01:05:10You know, only a woman who's born children of her own could understand how far a mother would go to
01:05:14protect her child.
01:05:15That is it.
01:05:16Get out!
01:05:17Get out of my house!
01:05:19You are not welcome here, Zainab!
01:05:21Get out!
01:05:22Come on, get out!
01:05:25Shall I take this off, too?
01:05:28Yes, please.
01:05:29Wow.
01:05:30What does she call you?
01:05:31Don't worry.
01:05:31What is this?
01:05:32Oh, no.
01:05:33This was in amongst Peter's files.
01:05:34I swear.
01:05:35That was Peter?
01:05:37No.
01:05:38Let's play it again.
01:05:40Now!
01:05:41If you tell me, I'll take it all off.
01:05:45Yeah?
01:05:45Mm-hmm.
01:05:46Well, sometimes she calls me Captain Beal.
01:05:50Well, Captain Beal.
01:05:53I'd better take this off or you might make me walk the plank.
01:05:59I'll tell you what you think.
01:06:00Jane could learn a lot from you.
