00:11You?
00:13How could it be you?
00:16Mom, what's happening?
00:19But you said you found the people who told me.
00:22You said you sawed them out.
00:24Come on!
00:26Come on, just say something.
00:28I'm sorry.
00:31I didn't know what I was doing.
00:34Harry and Nicola, they...
00:35They smoked my drink.
00:39Then...
00:41Then Nish was in my face and he was...
00:43He was in my ear.
00:45And I felt his arm around my neck.
00:48He was...
00:48He was strangling me and I...
00:51I grabbed him.
00:53And I punched him.
00:56All my anger and all my hate.
01:00Then I realised he was in him.
01:03He was in him because he was real.
01:06And I was a...
01:06I was a loser in my ear.
01:11Then I realised...
01:13He had to be you.
01:21I didn't know what I was doing.
01:22I hated you.
01:23I hated you for too long.
01:25But because you're my son and...
01:28I love you.
01:30I love you.
01:33Give me the keys.
01:36I'm not staying here.
01:38Oh, dear.
01:39Dad, please.
01:40Let us out.
01:41Don't you see?
01:43That's where people get hurt.
01:45That's where people get hurt.
01:47And I can't.
01:48I can't.
01:49I can't allow that to happen again.
01:51It's not.
01:52You're not leaving.
01:54You've stepped in with me.
01:57It's understood.
02:01Why would she be lying about them being sick?
02:04What, all of them at the same time?
02:05Yeah, that's how bugs work, right?
02:07Why didn't she answer the door?
02:09I don't know.
02:10She covered in vomit or something.
02:12She could have answered my texts.
02:14Right.
02:16Why are you so worried and why today?
02:20Right, if you're not going to be honest with me, I can't help you.
02:22Can I?
02:23All right, okay, okay.
02:25It's, um...
02:27It's Ravi.
02:28He's struggling.
02:29You're talking about his mental health.
02:31Why doesn't everything have to have a label on it?
02:33Sookie, you are so infuriating.
02:34It's nothing to be ashamed of.
02:36Do you know what?
02:37Maybe I'm just being paranoid, eh?
02:39Look, I was at the door.
02:41She would have answered if there was a problem.
02:42Yeah.
02:43I could always go around there and kick it down, and then we'll know.
02:45Yeah, that's not helping.
02:47She'll call if she needs.
02:48Yeah, because this family is so great at communicating.
02:50I'm getting...
03:00Priya?
03:02Priya, what are you doing?
03:03What are you doing?
03:03No, no, no, no, I'm not doing anything, okay?
03:05I'm not going to do anything.
03:06Priya, what are you doing?
03:06Okay, I know you're scared.
03:08Right.
03:09I get it.
03:10Yeah.
03:10We all understand, but they're scared too.
03:15Okay?
03:17It's been...
03:18It's been really intense, okay?
03:21So I think...
03:22I think we all just need to cool off,
03:25and maybe they can go to Sookie's or something, yeah?
03:28No!
03:29Mum!
03:30I told you that!
03:31That can't happen!
03:33Okay?
03:33All right.
03:33You've got to stay here.
03:34Me and you.
03:35Me and you.
03:36We're just going to stay here, yeah?
03:37We're going to let the kids go.
03:39Not leaving you on your own with him.
03:40Not after all he did to you.
03:41Devinder, please.
03:41I know you're trying to help, but please leave it.
03:43Leave what?
03:43He's attacked me, then lied to me,
03:45and everything that's happened.
03:46My nightmares, the anxiety, epilepsy, that was him.
03:49And what are you saying that he did, Mum?
03:51Look, Devinder, it's...
03:53Did you know?
03:55Son, look at me.
03:56Your mum didn't know, okay?
03:57It was me.
03:59I didn't want anyone knowing.
04:00Mum.
04:02Is that true?
04:09But I know that what happened, it's all because he's not well.
04:14It's him!
04:16He's the problem.
04:19Always has been and always will be.
04:22It's face cream.
04:23Very expensive face cream.
04:25Latte, please, Marie.
04:26I'll bring that to you.
04:27How was I supposed to know the difference?
04:28The nappy cream is with the nappies.
04:31You two, please, stop arguing.
04:34He's just wasted half a tub of my face cream on Jimmy's bum.
04:38When you've got a screaming baby in your arm, yeah,
04:41and a proper stinker down there,
04:43I'm telling you now, cream is cream.
04:46That face cream is £150 a pot.
04:50You need to ask for your money back.
04:51If you're spending that much on face cream,
04:53you can definitely start paying proper rent.
04:55Yeah.
04:56I pay my way.
04:57And she's around all the time.
04:58I see her chipping in.
04:59I'm not annoying.
05:00I'm telling you now, we should kick her out.
05:02Yeah, well, if you don't like it,
05:03you know where the door is.
05:05Brother Trump's mother-in-law.
05:06She needs to go.
05:07Come on, Jazz.
05:10Can you believe this?
05:12You're not doing yourself any favours, are you, Cindy?
05:22Do you have any idea what's been going on in my head?
05:27Because I've been too scared to go outside my own front door.
05:30I'm sorry.
05:31I jump every time I ever step behind me.
05:33I'm sorry.
05:34I wake up in a sweat because I thought I was going to die.
05:35I'm sorry.
05:36I would change it if I could.
05:37Okay, you've said enough now.
05:39Please, Nugget, I think he gets it.
05:42I could have epilepsy for the rest of my life, you know,
05:44and that's something I'm carrying with me every single second of the day
05:47not knowing when my brain, my stupid, weak brain might drip out
05:51and I'll be left on the floor like some stupid, weak mess.
05:55Okay, okay, Devendous.
05:56Do you know how terrifying that is?
05:59How humiliating it is?
06:02And it's all, it's all your fault!
06:06Stop it!
06:07Look, your dad feels bad enough.
06:09I don't get it.
06:10I don't get it.
06:12I really don't get it.
06:16He could drop down dead and I wouldn't flinch.
06:19Look, he doesn't mean that.
06:21I do.
06:21I do.
06:27It's all a favour, this is it?
06:44What do you want?
06:47Heard you went to see Nigel earlier, Sam.
06:50How did that go?
06:52Uh, not very well.
06:55Can't swallow his antibiotics anymore.
07:00Lexi didn't go to school again today.
07:02Yeah, well, that's Callum's problem, isn't it?
07:04No, it's the Mitchell problem.
07:06So we're all going to go over there for dinner tonight.
07:09And what, I'm invited, am I?
07:10So Callum can have another pot with me, yeah?
07:12Oh, did he hurt your feelings, Phil?
07:15Do you realise how petty you sound?
07:19I don't know what you want me to do.
07:20Look, we're all going to go over there, have a bit of dinner.
07:23We're going to show Lexi how much we love her
07:26and try and gently nudge her back to school.
07:29And for some reason, I don't know why,
07:31the only person in the world that she really listens to is you.
07:35So you can either sit here feeling really sorry for yourself
07:38or you can suck it up and go and help out your granddaughter.
07:49Oh, it's been one of those days, has it?
07:51Uh, yeah, yeah, something like that.
07:54Must have just had two chances trying to take me for an idiot,
07:56so please don't be the third.
07:58Can you answer?
07:59Me?
08:01No.
08:02I am a victim.
08:04Right, yeah, of course you are.
08:07Hang on, I should try and find my violin.
08:10I am a victim of your son's vicious campaign
08:13to kick me out of my own home.
08:15You're going to have to find your own place eventually, aren't you?
08:17Oh, whose side are you on?
08:19Oh, there's.
08:19Look, if you're starting beef, Cindy,
08:21it's got nothing to do with me, all right?
08:23You have to talk some sense into Lauren.
08:27Well, why don't you just get Peter to talk to her?
08:29Oh, he's well under the farm, you know that.
08:33What, so they are genuinely going to chuck you out, are they?
08:36Well, I mean, there's rumblings, and it could snowball.
08:41I'll sort out my own charm offensive,
08:44but I just want you to remind Lauren
08:46how nice it is for Louis and Jimmy
08:49to have their grandparents living so close by.
08:52And remind her how important family is.
08:55And why am I going to stick my neck out for you?
08:59Because you owe me.
09:02Jasmine's phone.
09:04Remember?
09:07And I am asking you ever so nicely.
09:16And what I say to people all the time is
09:18good pubs are not drinking dents.
09:20No, they are a meeting place, a community centre,
09:23and somewhere for all of you to go
09:25when your wife might suggest she wants the bottom done up.
09:29And if I said that, I'd get cancelled.
09:32Yeah, and you'd hand the election straight to me.
09:34Nice to meet you, Gunnar.
09:35Hello, mate.
09:36Cheers.
09:36Oh, you're popular.
09:38Yes, just be checking up on me, see how I'm getting on.
09:42Getting her clutches into you, is she?
09:44And what's that mean?
09:46Listen, I've known her since she was a kid,
09:48so take this as friendly advice.
09:50Sometimes she can get a little...
09:52intense.
09:54Really?
09:54No.
09:55Oh.
09:56Well, it's...
09:57I think she's fun.
10:00So, you two are getting serious, then?
10:02Well, it's early days.
10:04Shall we have another?
10:06Why not?
10:08Come on.
10:11Laura.
10:12Laura.
10:14I've just had a tip-off about a car.
10:15It is perfect for your classic collection.
10:18You should come see it with me.
10:19Oh, yeah.
10:20Nick, does it?
10:21Nah.
10:22Nah, I'm legit these days.
10:24Me and my dad, we've got this bet going on.
10:26Whoever sells the most cars wins,
10:27and if I win, he's going to make me partner.
10:30I'm not messing all that up
10:31just because you've got all Grand Theft Auto on me.
10:32It's kosher, I swear.
10:34And he's going for a steal.
10:36Look, I need some cash as well.
10:38OK?
10:39No, seriously.
10:41I owe some people, and...
10:42I'm done digging myself into holes.
10:44I need something proper, like this.
10:47And I think me and you make a pretty good team.
10:50I've got a parent and baby mixer at Jimmy's nursery tonight.
10:53Well, can't Peter take him?
10:54No.
10:55He's got a client.
10:56Come on, Lauren.
10:57This is a one-time deal,
10:59and you can easily double your money on this.
11:02Do you want to win this bet of your old man or not?
11:07I'll message her.
11:09Go on, go.
11:10He ain't your biggest fan.
11:11Is that Geeta taking that Ross bucket back?
11:14Yeah.
11:15Oh, that's good.
11:16You could smash this 80 grand by the end of the week, Lauren.
11:20Right, you're buttering me up for something.
11:21Go on.
11:23No, it's just Cindy.
11:25She was opening up to me.
11:26She was telling me how she's loving spending time with her grandkids,
11:30how much it means to her, you know,
11:31to be a part of your family.
11:32She told you to say all this.
11:34Are you two at it again?
11:35No, of course not.
11:37I think she's just scared, Lauren.
11:39You're going to kick her out of the house.
11:41Break her up.
11:45Can you take Jimmy to this, um,
11:47parent and baby mixer tonight?
11:49Oh, Lauren, please.
11:52What, me?
11:52One of those things.
11:54Just do it.
11:55And Cindy can stay, and I'll talk to Oscar as well.
12:01All right, fine.
12:12Maybe we don't even have to mention school.
12:15Oh, yeah, but...
12:16Isn't that the point of the dinner?
12:18The point of the dinner is to show her how loved she is.
12:20Yeah, but loved so much that she wants to go to school this week.
12:23Yeah, well, right now, I'd settle for a smile on her face.
12:26I reckon that's a good place to start.
12:29Why is everyone whispering?
12:31No, we're not, we're not.
12:32Has something happened to Nigel?
12:33No, no, he's absolutely fine, love.
12:36No, yeah, no, but just...
12:37Would it be nice if we all met up and had some dinner together?
12:40Yeah.
12:40Why?
12:42Because I'm hungry.
12:43And you, you'll sit with me.
12:44All right, come on.
12:46So what are we having?
12:47Smells good.
12:49Well...
12:49How are you?
12:50This is good to see you.
12:51Yeah.
12:52Well, it's all right.
12:54Let me guess.
12:55A woman turned up and dumped another illegitimate child on you.
12:58Nah, nah, nah.
12:59I've got a good radar for that now.
13:01Little buzzer goes off and then I dive behind in this bush.
13:04So you're just doing the grandparent thing, are you?
13:07No, we are.
13:09Lauren wants Jimmy to take into this parents thing,
13:11but I ain't gonna go on my own.
13:12I'll be like the oldest geezer there.
13:13Sorry, I've made plans.
13:15Yeah, well, so did I.
13:16Until you came round begging for favours.
13:18I've not begged ever in my life.
13:21Sounded pretty desperate.
13:22Oh, says the man's standing there white as a sheep
13:24because he's been asked to babysit for the night.
13:26I don't mind Jimmy.
13:27Jimmy, I can handle.
13:28It's just all the other parents, innit?
13:29They'll be banging on about their snotty-nosed little brats.
13:32And what makes you think I want to go?
13:35Listen, I've worked my magic
13:36and any talk of you getting chucked out of the house has gone away,
13:39so you owe me big time.
13:42Well, um, I can think of more exciting ways of paying you back.
13:47So can I, but can we just please talk about our disappearance thing?
13:51Yeah.
13:52All right.
13:53But one thing, do not introduce me to anyone as Grandma Cindy.
14:10Look, you can understand why he reacted that way.
14:13Yeah, but he will calm down.
14:16Everyone knows how much you love your kids
14:20and that you'd do anything for them.
14:22Yeah?
14:26Look, I'm here.
14:37Um, you, uh, you stay here, all right,
14:40and I'm just, I'll go and talk to him.
14:52Um, I'm going to go and talk to him, too.
14:55Okay?
15:00Get your brother.
15:01We're leaving.
15:02Now.
15:20Where, where, where do you think you're going?
15:22It's just,
15:24I just think we all need a bit of a breathing space.
15:26Yeah, but I've told you how dangerous it is out there, Priya.
15:29I'm just trying to protect you.
15:30It's just, um,
15:32you know, you cause all panic.
15:33It's just not enough to be feeling safe in here anymore.
15:40Because of me?
15:41No.
15:43It is.
15:46It is because of me.
15:55I'm just trying to protect my family.
16:00It's not because of me.
16:02It's not.
16:04It's not.
16:08I would never hurt the people I love.
16:10I would never.
16:13I would never hurt the people I love.
16:30I have to say,
16:31that was the nicest penguini I've ever tasted.
16:33Yeah, I can see it.
16:34It's a penguini pasta.
16:35That, that would be shaped like a...
16:37No, no, no, no.
16:38It's not shaped like anything, Callum.
16:39It's just thick spaghetti.
16:40Yeah.
16:41Yeah, no, it's, um,
16:42it's definitely thick.
16:46So, darling, um,
16:48do you fancy a,
16:49a day at school tomorrow?
16:51No.
16:52Well, um,
16:53okay, we don't have to talk about it right now.
17:00Well, I, uh,
17:02I think you should go to school.
17:03Because, uh,
17:05school's important.
17:06Innit?
17:07I don't know you've got your worries,
17:09but, well,
17:10you've been through hard stuff before,
17:13haven't you?
17:14I mean, you always come out the other side,
17:16I don't know.
17:17Ain't gonna be easy,
17:18ain't gonna be quick,
17:19but,
17:20well,

17:25you managed a few days,
17:26so,
17:27why not now?
17:33Is it Nigel?
17:37I know he's gonna die soon.
17:40And,
17:41I don't want to be at school when it happens.
17:44Yeah, yeah,
17:45that would be hard to,
17:47a teacher coming to school to tell you,
17:49yeah.
17:52Well, how about this,
17:53see,
17:53how about I do a deal with you,

18:03I will drive down to your school myself,
18:07and I'll come into your classroom to tell you.
18:10Hmm?
18:13I think it still ain't gonna be easy.

18:23No.
18:25I've lost my heart.

19:09The ones you used to work for.
19:12But,
19:14but they know where we live.
19:18So you can barricade the doors all you want,
