00:00Music
00:02So now, I probably shouldn't have said anything, you know,
00:29I just wanted to make her realise how bad things have got.
00:33Was I really going to kill myself?
00:37Well, that's what you said, yeah.
00:41But you didn't do it.
00:45And you're still here, thank God.
00:48So, we need to put it behind us.
00:53Hmm?
00:53Move on.
00:55Who?
00:57What's that?
00:57I don't know.
00:58Five now.
00:59Come on.
01:00What's that?
01:01Look, you want to pair your socks up before you wash them, yeah?
01:05That way you don't lose them.
01:07I don't know how you do it, Uncle Jack.
01:09You're an amazing lover.
01:11You fight crime.
01:13You've got like a million laundry hacks.
01:16You're like the complete package.
01:17Just trying to teach her a thing or two, that's all.
01:20See that?
01:21Should have soaked that in vinegar before you washed them.
01:23That way it would have come out.
01:25How did you get grass stains like that anyway?
01:27Hmm?
01:28Oh, well, let's just say I spent a little time on my knees down the park yesterday.
01:33Oh, for crying.
01:33At a picnic.
01:34I was having a picnic.
01:36Wow, what do you think on that?
01:38Hmm.
01:39Nicola.
01:42Yeah, where is he now?
01:45Yeah.
01:46Why?
01:47I need a gun.
01:50I'll have to solve another laundry crisis.
01:54So you are a funny young fellow.
01:57I can see why Patrick takes a shine to you.
02:00How is he?
02:01Well, he's putting a brave face on it, but he still won't leave the house.
02:08Would you go by and see him?
02:11I think he would love to see a fresh face.
02:13Well, no, I'll pop around and see him sometime.
02:16So could you do it now?
02:17I'm sorry.
02:21I shouldn't be so pushy.
02:24I'm just so worried about him, you know?
02:28You don't need to apologise.
02:30I'll pop around and see him now.
02:40Look at the state of this place.
02:42I told you to keep it tidy.
02:44Chill out, mate.
02:45Put them phones there, mate.
02:46Tell me to chill out.
02:47Just make sure it's tidy by the time we get back.
02:53Hey, what do you think you're going?
02:56To find Kojo.
02:59Good luck with that, matey.
03:00It's probably halfway to the immune system, isn't it?
03:05What are you talking about?
03:07Just saying, isn't it?
03:08It's probably a little bit high right now.
03:11What do you mean?
03:12Look, it was your job to make sure he was out all night.
03:15He wasn't.
03:16He was in here acting all stressed, so...
03:19Oi.
03:19Give him a little something to chill him out, isn't it?
03:24That policeman's here, the one from across the square.
03:26Do you think we should get an ambulance?
03:27Yeah, that's his brother's call.
03:30What's his name, love?
03:35It's Kojo.
03:37Okay.
03:39Do you think you could drink this for me, Kojo?
03:43Kojo?
03:44I think it needs to sleep.
03:45He needs some water.
03:47Always know best.
03:48Yeah, well, at least I'm trying to help not just sat there on the back side.
03:52Nigel?
03:52Nigel?
03:56Nigel?
03:59Right, er...
04:00I'm just gonna go and check that he's okay, and when I'm sure that he is, you and I are
04:03gonna talk.
04:04And you're gonna tell me everything.
04:05Listen, I'm not a hundred percent, but it's MDMA.
04:14Sorry enough about the bar in Marbella.
04:17What do you think?
04:18Yeah, it looks like MDMA to me, but that'll need to be tested.
04:21Where'd he get here?
04:24Gunner.
04:26Okay.
04:27Look, when he's recovered, I'm gonna need to talk to him.
04:29Yeah, of course.
04:30I want a little scumbag fan.
04:33There's people around here foisting this stuff on someone like Kojo, and they need to be
04:36locked up.
04:36Well, I'll, um, I'll just go and check on him.
04:40Yeah.
04:50Look, I realise you're gonna need to talk to him, obviously, but I'd appreciate if we
04:55could do it here, and keep it low-key.
04:57Look, I'm sorry, George.
04:59I'm gonna have to take him in.
05:01I don't think he's actually been at a police station, so that could have unsettled him.
05:05Look, I understand.
05:07But he was caught in possession of a Class A drug.
05:10Yeah, but it's Kojo.
05:11He wouldn't have known what it was.
05:13Yeah, well, that's for someone else to determine.
05:16Well, I just need to do my job.
05:18Are you saying you're gonna arrest him?
05:20I've got no choice.
05:21Booyakasha.
05:22Booyakasha.
05:23Booyakasha.
05:24Booyakasha.
05:25Booyakasha.
05:26Booyakasha.
05:27Man, you sound ridiculous.
05:28Of course, I get cool.
05:29Cool.
05:30Yeah.
05:31Listener, man, all your generation don't know what cool is.
05:32Just play nice, Patrick. Just because Oscar's getting the better of you.
05:38You ain't getting no better of me. You're one lucky, Pop. You know that?
05:43You sound desperate, old man. Just tap out, you think you've got nothing. It's time for a new King, Patrick.
05:50Aye, aye, aye, aye. I must say you'll run me close, you know. But you know what? Maybe one day you'll go meet me. But not today.
06:16Booyakasha.
06:17Booyakasha.
06:18Patrick, stop you showing off. The young man has only come for a friendly game.
06:22Hey, how you want to try your luck, eh?
06:25I can't. I meant to be meeting Jack. Talk through your stag.
06:29All right, look, look. Please, I don't want anything special. Just a few friends and a butler off.
06:37Hey, you come in.
06:39No. I mean, he's probably got better things to do than be hanging around a bunch of old men.
06:45I understand, yeah.
06:47No, you know what? I'll be here. Yep. So shuffle them bones, old man. Tomorrow I'm gonna beat you.
06:57You think?
06:58I know.
07:00I know.
07:01So time to stay for another licket.
07:05No, Carla, you know, the ten o'clock curfew and all that. Don't want them turning me into a pumpkin. I'll see you tomorrow.
07:14Yeah, look forward to that.
07:16After I found the video that Nigel made as a memory test, I was most angry.
07:28Well, I walked out of the house. And when I come back, I hear he's... He was gone. He tried to get on the tube or something and then he'd fallen over and smashed his head and ended up in hospital.
07:43So why didn't I know this?
07:46Anyway, they let him come home later that same night.
07:54I'm story short, he tried taking off again, you know, because he'd failed that stupid memory test.
08:00He was determined to do away with himself. And of course, I wasn't having any of it.
08:09You stopped him?
08:11No. I locked him in. Then he got angry, we had another row and eventually we talked it through and we'd come to an agreement.
08:22He'd stay. And I would... I would look after him and answer him till the end.
08:33Why do you do this?
08:36I mean, you and him have been in contact with each other for years. I mean, why give up your life to help him?
08:44Well, it was good for me as well, you know. Having him around, I'd...
08:49I've been having problems on my own, so...
08:55Yeah, well, he...
08:57He makes people feel better about themselves, doesn't he? That's his super power.
09:02Yeah.
09:06I'm glad... I'm glad he's helped you.
09:09And I'm really grateful that you've helped him.
09:12I should have been here. But, erm, now that I am, erm...
09:18We need to be on the same page, so that there's no confusion.
09:23Moving forward.
09:24I think he's gonna be fine.
09:36Right, I should be getting off.
09:39I can't take him in.
09:40Until he's better anyway, so give me a call when he's come to, yeah?
09:43Go. I'll watch him.
09:50Jack!
09:53Mate.
10:00Look, please don't report this.
10:02You know, er, when, er, Cobb and I left Kojo with me,
10:12I saw it as a chance to, you know,
10:15connect with my family, my history, my heritage.
10:18Be the older brother I've never got a chance to be.
10:20I promised I'd look after him.
10:22I'm asking you as a neighbour and as a friend,
10:24just, please, look the other way.
10:29It won't ever happen again, I promise you.
10:33Nicola was here when you showed me them drugs.
10:37She won't say anything.
10:38You don't know that, do you?
10:40What happens if there's some argy-bargy down the line with her?
10:44Teddy or that son of hers?
10:46Well, she's gonna use it against me, isn't she?
10:50But even if he gets charged,
10:51alright, it's his first offence, they're just gonna give him a caution.
10:55Which could get him thrown out of the country.
10:58He's here on a standard visiting visa.
11:02If he gets a caution,
11:04they could send him back to Ghana.
11:06He's created a life here.
11:08He's got friends,
11:10somewhere to live, a job.
11:12You don't wanna take all that away from him, do you?
11:14I don't like this any more than you do.
11:16But there's procedure, alright, and I've gotta follow it.
11:19Yeah, yeah.
11:20Yeah, I get it.
11:22Alright.
11:25What if I find a scum who did this?
11:28Well, I don't know how that's gonna help Kojo.
11:31Well, it would if...
11:33he admits that he forced the drug on him,
11:36or lied to him about what it was.
11:38That would get Kojo out of the frame, wouldn't it?
11:40Right, you get me a name by the morning.
11:45And I'll do my best to keep him out of custody,
11:47and that is all I can promise you.
11:50Speaking about Nicola's okay son,
11:53he just moved him to Kojo, hadn't he?
11:55Yeah.
12:11Hey, what? We found him!
12:13Does it look like I found him?
12:15I'm gonna ring around the A&E departments.
12:18Well, it's not being such a drama queen, man.
12:19He's probably in a pub somewhere having the time of his life.
12:22You don't know that, you mug!
12:24Yeah, and you don't know no different.
12:26So man up and start wiping them forms.
12:30It seems to me like you've got it in your head
12:32that you're in charge here.
12:34Seems to me like someone has to be.
12:36Yeah?
12:38Is that you, is it?
12:39I'm always hung for the same goer.
12:45Shut up, mate.
12:48It ain't you, Hans, mate.
12:50It just ain't.
12:56Do you want to find?
12:58We deal with this next batch and then I'm out.
13:01Oh, out!
13:03What, you think I'm gonna be out?
13:06My brother,
13:07you are out when Ravi says you are out.
13:10And not a minute before.
13:14Get comfy, my boy.
13:20Mum?
13:22Harry, I'm at George's with Koto.
13:24They think he's taken MDMA.
13:26No, no, darling, he's gonna be fine.
13:29Look, I don't think we should have this conversation on the phone.
13:31Meet me at the bar, yeah?
13:32Yeah?
13:38What did Jack say?
13:41He said he's gonna have to arrest Kojo.
13:44But it would help me a lot if I knew where he got the drugs from.
13:49Sounds like you think I might know.
13:52No.
13:54But, er, Harry might.
13:56Look, you told me he got Kojo a watch.
13:58An expensive watch.
14:00How could he afford that?
14:03Sorry?
14:05Are you saying you think Harry's involved in this?
14:08Harry's got nothing to do with drugs.
14:09Yeah, that's what I thought about Gina.
14:12Turns out I didn't know her as well as I thought I did back then.
14:16Oh, come on.
14:18Our kids have private lives.
14:20Sometimes it's hard to admit we don't know them as well as we think we do.
14:24I know my son.
14:27And, actually, I'm gonna leave before I say something I regret.
14:36I hope he comes out of this okay?
14:41Nicola!
14:45Why me?
14:48Hello, mate.
14:50How you doing?
14:52Yeah?
14:53You okay?
14:56So, first off, he needs to be spending less time in front of Terry.
15:01He loves his films?
15:03Yeah, I love chocolate biscuits but I can't eat them all the time.
15:06He needs to be outdoors out the house doing activities.
15:10Activities?
15:11Yeah.
15:13There's a men's pilates group down at the community centre
15:14and I'm thinking of signing up for pottery lessons at the community college.
15:19And then there's golf.
15:21What?
15:22I'm just saying he needs to keep busy.
15:24And what about the days he can't bring himself to leave the house?
15:27You're gonna force him to do stuff then as well?
15:29I mean, some mornings he wakes up, he's terrified, he's scared,
15:34he can't explain it, he doesn't understand it.
15:36He just sits there and eventually he passes.
15:40He's just cherry picking the worst bits.
15:41Look, there's plenty of hours in the day when he's absolutely fine.
15:45Yeah.
15:46Yeah, there is.
15:48I can't predict when they're gonna be.
15:50Can you?
15:51I mean, one minute he's right, he's happy as Larry,
15:53and the next he's trying to fit.
15:55You know, Nigel's whole life, it's in the moment, it's in the now,
15:58and that's where we need to be.
16:00So, the moments come and the moments go, and then they're wasted,
16:03and they spent another day sat a sofa watching some crappy film
16:06while they could be out there getting on with his life.
16:07Listen, you just...
16:10You just don't get it, do you?
16:13You know, this new life that you imagine Nigel's gonna have,
16:17it ain't gonna happen.
16:19You know, Nigel's life ain't gonna be full of new adventures,
16:22it's just gonna get worse and worse.
16:24Yeah, it will if we don't help him, Phil.
16:26And this is all for him, is it?
16:29Because it feels like you're just trying to distract yourself
16:32from what's really happening, and if we...
16:35Well, if we don't stop pretending that you ain't gonna get worse,
16:38you ain't gonna help him.
16:40You're gonna hurt him.
16:42Right, well, thank you for opening up to me, Phil.
16:45I really do appreciate it, but when it comes to what's best for my husband,
16:48I think we ought to just agree to disagree.
16:50Agree to disagree.
16:53Oh.
16:55You gave me a scare there, little brother.
16:58Now...
17:00How many of those tablets did you take?
17:02One.
17:03Good.
17:05Do you know what it was?
17:07It's called MDMA.
17:12We gave it to you.
17:14Look.
17:17I need to know how you got it, because...
17:20it's illegal.
17:22And you can get into a lot of trouble for taking it.
17:27Kojo, I know somebody gave it to you,
17:28because this isn't the type of drug you can just buy down the chemist, you know.
17:32Or did somebody just come up to you in the street and offer it to you?
17:38Kojo,
17:40I need to know who gave you this drug.
17:41I do not want to talk about it.
17:43You have to talk about it.
17:47Are you trying to protect someone here?
17:48Is that why you don't want to tell me?
17:52Was it Harry?
17:53No.
17:55You know, he was acting weird down the pub.
17:57You know.
17:58Is he selling this rubbish?
17:59No.
18:00Kwame, please.
18:01You have to stop trying to protect him.
18:03If he gave you this stuff, he's not your friend!
18:05He is!
18:06He is my friend!
18:08George.
18:09I don't think he's been through enough, alright?
18:10I think you need to stop.
18:12Yeah.
18:14Of course.
18:15Yeah, you're right.
18:16I mean...
18:21Kojo, I'm sorry.
18:24I'm just worried about you.
18:25But I shouldn't have lost my temper.
18:28And...
18:30Look.
18:32I'm just gonna step out.
18:34Clear me head for a bit.
18:39Keep your eye in for me.
18:40Where are you going?
18:43Like I said, I'm gonna go in.
18:45Clear me head.
18:47Yeah.
18:56Sorry I'm late mate.
18:58Got dragged into an issue with George's brother.
18:59Everything alright?
19:01Well, we'll see how it plays out.
19:03So...
19:05I don't know really what we're gonna talk about regarding this stagdom.
19:09Well...
19:10Yolandi's still putting her foot down over the gambling, so...
19:13Poker's off the table.
19:15What, Yolandi's gonna be there, is she?
19:17No, she ain't.
19:21Alright then.
19:23What do you suggest?
19:25I don't know, maybe we'll just get some beers in, watch a film.
19:28No, seriously.
19:30Well, what do you want, Jack?
19:31Strippers and drugs?
19:34I'm sorry mate.
19:36I'm just a bit tired, I haven't been sleeping.
19:40Lauren!
19:42How'd you manage to get out?
19:44Believe it or not, Oscar actually offered to babysit.
19:47He can't go nowhere anyway, because of the tag.
19:49What, he's on his own?
19:51Oh, don't worry, look.
19:52Got him on the baby monitor.
19:54What is he doing?
19:55He's doing napkin head from that Jude Law film.
19:58Oh, Louis finds it hilarious.
20:00Really?
20:01Drinks?
20:02Yeah.
20:03Yeah, I'll have a lager, please.
20:04I'll help you carry him.
20:10I caught your brother playing dominance with Patrick tonight.
20:15Was that a problem?
20:16I don't want him anywhere near Patrick.
20:18He even managed to swing an invite to his stagdom.
20:20I didn't.
20:21You put yourself in this position when you started blackmailing us.
20:23Yeah.
20:24So I have absolutely no sympathy for you.
20:29Wait, where have you been?
20:30It doesn't matter.
20:31What happened to Kozo?
20:32I could ask you the same thing.
20:33How did you get his hands on MDA for crying out loud?
20:36I don't know.
20:37Oh, really?
20:38Well, if you won't tell me, maybe I'll just ask Maggie and I.
20:42Oh, Harry, can I have a word?
20:46What did you do to my brother?
20:48I don't know what you're talking about.
20:49Leave it, George.
20:50Kozo, what's happened to him?
20:52Someone gave him drugs.
20:56Was it you?
20:57You're alive!
21:00No!
21:01No!
21:02Get off me!
21:03Daddy, you're hurting him!
21:04Stop!
21:05Daddy, you're hurting him!
21:06That's the administrative!
21:07Whoa, whoa, whoa!
21:08Get your hands off him now!
21:10Get your hands off him!
21:11Get your hands off him!
21:12Let the boy go, eh?
21:13Stop!
21:21Someone gave my brother MDA, mate.
21:23So my sweet, innocent brother could be dead right now.
21:25And I know he wouldn't touch our study, unless he trusted the person who gave it to him.
21:30I swear.
21:31So why do you look so flaming guilty?
21:33That is enough, right?
21:34He said it wasn't him!
21:35Well, who was it then?
21:36I don't know!
21:37An hour ago, you told me your daughter was a druggie, but I don't see you screaming in her face!
21:43I never said...
21:48Do you... sharing personal information like that with her?
21:56Oh!
21:59I know you was involved with this somehow.
22:02I could see you in her face.
22:03Don't try and deny it.
22:05No, look, we'll find out the truth, yeah?
22:16You're having fun.
22:18Howie, if this is a booty call, I'm sorry, you ain't me.
22:36It's all some big game to you, innit?
22:38Well, I'm in your way in a patch, it's good, but it's just you've got some sort of hold over me.
22:42That's a bit rich, innit?
22:45Yoland, they asked me to go around.
22:46We don't go around no more.
22:48Not tomorrow, not ever.
22:50But what are you gonna do?
22:57My whole life is on the line here.
23:02So you really don't wanna know.
23:06Just stay away from Patrick.
23:07How are you feeling?
23:21Much better.
23:22Good.
23:23That's good.
23:25You hungry?
23:27No, I'll just, er...
23:28Make myself a cup of tea.
23:29You'll make me one while you're out there and I've got some of them biscuits you like.
23:32In the cupboard above the microwave.
23:34Nice.
23:37Oh, sorry.
23:38Um, I thought you'd be in bed.
23:40Er, just make the cup of tea.
23:41Oh, it's too late for caffeine.
23:43I'm sorry, I've got you some herbal.
23:46Yeah, I know you don't like them, but they are good for you.
23:49Thanks.
23:50You don't have to thank me.
23:51I love looking after you.
23:53Um, anyway, come on, let's go up.
23:54We'll get an early night, it'll do us good.
23:56And we've got another new day to look forward to tomorrow.
23:59Oh, and I thought maybe you might like to try Pilates.
24:09What is Pilates?
24:16I do not want to go back to my flat tonight.
24:18That's all right, Pete.
24:20You can get beer tonight, yeah?
24:21Thanks, Phil.
24:22All right, man.
24:23All right.
24:24Yeah.
24:25Yeah, yeah.
24:26Okay, I'll see you in a minute.
24:28Yeah, thanks.
24:30Er, how's Kojo?
24:31Yeah, he seems, seems all right.
24:33It's, er, surprised you left him.
24:35Where you been?
24:36Yeah, I had an idea about him out giving him the drugs,
24:38so I just wanted to check I was right.
24:40Were you?
24:41Who were you?
24:42Yeah, I think I was.
24:43But you're not going to like it.
24:49Azar!
24:52You look terrible, bruv.
24:54What happened?
24:58Wait, what's going on?
25:02Yo, talk to me, bruv, what's going on?
25:04They found Kojo passed out in the middle of the square.
25:13Okay.
25:14Erm.
25:16But where's he now?
25:18He's with his brother.
25:21Well, I can't then, innit?
25:22He's fine.
25:25Fine.
25:26Yeah, man, he's a good lad.
25:27He won't say nothing.
25:28Is that all you care about?
25:31You could've killed him, Oki!
25:32Well, it was one pill, bruv, relax.
25:34Yeah?
25:35Tell that to his brother!
25:36He just grips me up in front of my whole family accusing me!
25:38Well, you denied it, right?
25:39Yes, of course I denied it!
25:41But he didn't believe me!
25:43Move!
25:48It was Harry.
25:51Did he tell you that?
25:53Well, you got any proof at all?
25:54Nothing solid, but he's involved.
25:56Look, I'm sorry, George.
25:58All right, that ain't gonna be enough.
26:00I'm gonna have to take Kojo in.
26:01Oh, you're having a lot of, ain't ya?
26:02Look, I'm trying to explain the reasons I have to take him in.
26:04You're not arresting my brother.
26:07You gonna try it?
26:09I'll make sure he doesn't go quietly,
26:10so you'll have to cuff him and drag him out of here,
26:11and I'll be filming that,
26:12so the rest of the world can see what we already know,
26:14which is he is the victim here.
26:16I'm not saying he ain't.
26:17All right?
26:18I'm just telling you that we have to follow procedure.
26:20You're telling me you'd never look the other way?
26:22I can't.
26:24Oh, you're worried about Nicola?
26:25Well, look, if it comes down to it,
26:26a word against yours, I'll back you.
26:31Look, if I don't report this,
26:33you won't find out what happened.
26:35All right, and he'll get away with this.
26:37No chance.
26:39Whoever did this,
26:40whether it's Harry or anybody else,
26:42ain't getting away with nothing.
26:45I'm gonna make sure of that.
26:46Yeah.
26:52So this, um,
26:54Cole Joe's brother,
26:56well, where does he stay at?
26:57Because I'm feeling to pay him a little visit.
27:00That's not a good idea.
27:03Well, so we're just gonna let him mouth off to the public, yeah?
27:06What do you think Ravi's gonna do
27:08when he finds out the feds are on us again?
27:11What I'm saying is you don't know him,
27:13and you don't know what he's capable of.
27:16You already know what I'm capable of.
27:19So if this Cole Joe's brother becomes a problem,
27:22we're gonna have to make him disappear.
27:25Yeah?
27:35He got to the top of the tree,
27:37but never forgot his roots.
