Have your say

Kuljit tells Pradeep he wishes there were more interpreters around when he was young, then he wouldn’t have had to speak for his dad. The hearing is next week and his dad only speaks to him via Neera now. He just needs to find someone called Gurmail in London, he will have the proof that Rajvinder was spending the money on herself but where will he start when there are so many Singhs in the phonebook!

Nalini still thinks her mum needs a doctor so Deepak accuses her of caring more about her mother than her own husband, he is treated like dirt. Nalini thinks he was lucky to get married into her family but Deepak argues back, he was all she could get. He rescued her family’s reputation after Nalini disgraced them, they should show him some respect. Nalini cries and wants the bathroom, for the sake of their baby, he has to let her go. Mrs Nathwani threatens Deepak, he can’t keep them as hostages forever.

Nalini calls Rita from the bathroom saying Deepak has gone mad and is throwing things around. PC Higgins overhears Rita’s conversation saying that she’ll call the Police put and demands to know what is going on, why are they calling Rita on her mobile anyway? Rita explains the situation as much as she can and now is not the time to chat. PC Higgins lets her go but warns her not to enter the house until the police get in first.

Rita knocks on the window warning Deepak that the Police will be there soon. He drags her into the house saying she is just as selfish as his wife. He pushes Rita through to the lounge who sees that Mrs Nathwani is hurt. She has broken her arm and needs an ambulance. Deepak says he’s lost everything, all hope, friends and family, nothing he does is right. Rita tries to calm him down saying he needs to think clearly. She tries to make Mrs Nathwani comfortable and when her phone rings, he tells the Police that noone is coming in and noone is getting out and cuts them off.
