00:00Hey, Kojo. My man. What do you say? Listen, I heard you ain't feeling too well, yeah?
00:20What? I got you a little something to cheer you up. Two tickets to the car show. What are you saying? Trying to go on another trip?
00:31A car show? That sounds awesome.
00:35Come on.
00:39Maybe we need to take Kojo on a spa weekend or something.
00:43Yeah, but on what planet would he actually enjoy that, though?
00:46To relax and recover a bit.
00:49Who's that? Kojo? How's he doing?
00:53We took him out for food last night, but he didn't really so much.
00:59So he was exhausted.
01:02Is that what it's like when you go out of work? Ignite his hat?
01:06I don't know, really.
01:09Well, Kojo's your mate, right? I mean, a little bit worried.
01:13He collapsed at work, malnourished, dehydrated.
01:17Look, it's not normal.
01:21I, uh, don't understand what's going on.
01:27Hey, you. It's just me.
01:30I, uh, hadn't heard from you and I don't know.
01:34Did I freak you out last night?
01:38Anyway, just give me a call.
01:42Adoption?
01:43Whoa!
01:44What, are you and Eve back together, then?
01:46And are you actually out of your mind?
01:48It's actually none of your business.
01:49You've already had four kids.
01:50One's locked up, one's barely speaking to you, and the other one's Vinny.
01:51Oi!
01:52This is...
01:53This is actually mental.
01:54Adoption.
01:55How many more lives do you want to ruin?
01:56It was just something Eve mentioned.
01:57I'm not being funny.
01:58If you start going for adoption, I'm actually calling the social.
01:59You are literally the worst parent ever.
02:01You are literally the worst parent ever.
02:02Okay, your warm mind.
02:03It's actually none of your mind.
02:04It's actually none of your business.
02:05You've already had four kids.
02:06One's locked up, one's barely speaking to you, and the other one's Vinny.
02:07Oi!
02:08This is...
02:09This is actually mental.
02:10Adoption.
02:11How many more lives do you want to ruin?
02:13It was just something Eve mentioned.
02:15I'm not being funny.
02:16If you start going for adoption, I'm actually calling the social.
02:19You are literally the worst parent ever.
02:21Okay, your warm mind has already messed up way too many kids.
02:24Well, what about you, Mum?
02:25I'm here making the packed lunches while you're, what, drinking coffee?
02:29I'm teaching you to be independent, actually.
02:32And you should be helping.
02:33The girl's job, innit?
02:34I am having none of that in this house.
02:37Fags, get out.
02:38You're already going to be late.
02:39Come on.
02:40Come on, Mum.
02:42You know, Mum, she's got a point.
02:46Adopting a kid is the worst thing that you could do.
02:55You know, he's a grown-up, and he's allowed to decide what he does,
02:58any of the hands around her.
02:59Yeah, he's just having fun.
03:01That's what you all think, is it?
03:03I mean, we've all had a mad one that's left us a bit wrecked.
03:06Yeah, totally.
03:08I'm not saying he got drunk or anything.
03:11Look, I know you all think I treat him like a child, but...
03:14What's someone like Oki doing hanging out for the globe in his 40s?
03:18I've got older mates.
03:20Cojo's different.
03:23See, look, this is patronising.
03:26He's mates with Harry.
03:28We don't have a problem with that.
03:29Cojo's a cool guy.
03:31It's really not that weird.
03:32So you're okay with Oki, then?
03:35Yeah.
03:36You're not, are you?
03:38You can see it.
03:39Oh, I am.
03:40Something going on, wasn't you?
03:42You'd have to talk to Cojo about that, not me.
03:44What are you not telling me?
03:47Harry, mate.
03:49Can I have a word?
03:50Yeah.
03:51Sorry.
03:56Harry's right.
03:57You need to talk to Cojo.
04:00Just don't lecture him.
04:04What a shame.
04:05You know, kissing, kissing in the middle of the square.
04:07What if Lexi had seen, eh?
04:08What, she's away on a school trip.
04:10And anyway, she's gonna have to get used to it, isn't she?
04:12He is her dad.
04:13Is he?
04:14Oh, Phil, he has been by that girl's side.
04:17Bringing her up.
04:18He loves Lexi.
04:19Nigel was a fantastic dad to Clare.
04:22By allegory doesn't mean anything.
04:24Yeah, well, I don't wanna talk about it.
04:25Right, well, come on.
04:26We'd better get going.
04:27You sure Ben's up for this visit?
04:28I mean, he might want a bit of space, might he?
04:30Phil, his marriage has broken down.
04:32Go on.
04:34Listen, I'm, er...
04:35I'm gonna be going straight to the airport from the prison.
04:38I'll take him and Nigel as soon as I get to Louise's,
04:40but I'll only be gone a few weeks.
04:41We're fine.
04:42Listen, if Nigel gets distressed...
04:44We'll be fine.
04:45Just go.
04:49Phil, you've been, er, amazing to Nigel.
04:53Then you'll be the same with Ben.
04:55I'm not new at school.
05:06Sick, aren't I?
05:07Since when?
05:08Oi, I'm talking to you.
05:10Since when were you sick?
05:12I said it was fine.
05:13So just chill.
05:14Okay?
05:17You don't look sick.
05:19His mum's getting married today.
05:21Right?
05:22He's feeling down about it.
05:23He couldn't face school so I thought...
05:25No.
05:26One day off's not gonna hurt.
05:30Okay.
05:31See you later.
05:32He's sat there looking at me for answers and I'm just as worried as he is.
05:41And then the lies.
05:42I just can't deal with all the lies.
05:43You've just got to give it some time.
05:45I haven't got time.
05:46They're probably lining him up for another job.
05:48And I'm stood here doing nish when they know that one call to the police could just stop it all.
05:52But they'll know it was you, Harry.
05:54After everything they will.
05:55And you know full well what they'll do to you if you grass on them.
05:58Yes, I know.
05:59But I haven't got any other options.
06:00I don't see you coming up with a better idea.
06:03I am.
06:04And I have.
06:06Look, I've stuck a camera in your flat.
06:10You've done what?
06:11We get evidence of what's going on there and we use that as leverage against them.
06:14No.
06:15No, because Kojo will be on that footage.
06:17You'll get arrested as well.
06:18I don't want him in trouble, Dad.
06:20We ain't going to take it to the police, son.
06:22We'll threaten them with it.
06:23What?
06:26They're using Kojo because he's under the radar.
06:29As soon as they know we have got his back and we have got proof of what they're doing to him,
06:33they'll back right away.
06:34That threat will be enough.
06:36And they'll move on to someone else.
06:38That's the way it works.
06:39They won't want to take any risks.
06:41What if they take revenge?
06:42They've got a big operation going on, a ton of money coming in.
06:45They won't do anything that draws attention to that.
06:48Look, you're a good kid, Harry.
06:51Look, you're a good person and I'm proud of you for wanting to help Kojo.
06:55So trust me.
06:56This will work.
06:58And you, you've just got to hold your nerve.
07:02Jean let you stay off school so you could look after Charlie.
07:15Do you want to put your phone down?
07:18Maybe go and check?
07:19Yeah, Freddie's up there.
07:20What's wrong?
07:21Look, when she's six she just wants her mum, right?
07:23Why are you going on at me?
07:24Because I'm trying to work and she won't try not.
07:27I'm going, aren't I?
07:28Then will you just get that as well?
07:30Why do everything around me now?
07:32Oh, trust me, Lilz, you are so far from doing everything.
07:35You might want to come back later. She's having a crash out.
07:38Lily!
07:39She's been sick.
07:41Sorry, that's chaos. You haven't responded to any of my messages.
07:49Yeah, sorry. I just think if we're going to talk about adoption, then we should do it face-to-face.
08:00Oh, you want to talk?
08:11Right, love? How are you doing?
08:16Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't make the fuss.
08:18No, not fuss. Just, you know.
08:21Checking I ain't going to top myself.
08:23I mean, you shouldn't even joke about things like that.
08:26And yet, of course, we are worried about you.
08:29When are you going to bring Lexi to come and see me?
08:31Well, er, when you're settled in your new prison.
08:34I need to talk to her about the break-up.
08:36We agreed Callum was going to do that.
08:38Right, I'm here now, aren't I? She's my daughter. I want to talk to her.
08:41Oh, look, Ben, it's going to be hard enough as it is, but, I mean,
08:44telling her in a place like this is not the best environment, is it?
08:47I think your mum's right, you know. She can go wade in it.
08:50Well, you do talk, do you? Just sat there with her face on.
08:52Oh, come on, don't be like that.
08:53I'm not being like anything.
08:54We both know what you're doing. You know, putting on the front, refusing to talk.
08:58Do me a favour.
08:59No, no. Bottling it up. Don't help.
09:02You'd know, would you?
09:03Yeah, yeah, I would know.
09:04You know, I did what you're doing for far too long, you know.
09:07Telling her everything was fine when it weren't.
09:10And it was a mistake. A mistake that nearly cost me my life.
09:14What is he on about?
09:20What is this?
09:25Thank you very much.
09:27Er, Koja, please.
09:30I, er, owe you an apology.
09:34Take a seat.
09:35Yeah, come on.
09:44I have been worried about you.
09:47And I know you feel maybe I've been treating you like a child.
09:52You have.
09:54Yeah, well, I don't mean when I trust you.
09:57I don't think you're capable of living alone.
10:00What has it done?
10:03Yeah, that's a good question, mate.
10:04Erm...
10:06What is it?
10:09Well, I, I know I can be overprotective.
10:12But I'm just terrified something awful might happen to you.
10:15Like what?
10:17I don't know.
10:20I am okay.
10:22Yeah, I know.
10:23I know.
10:27I suppose it goes right back to her dad.
10:30You know.
10:31And what happened to him that night.
10:34I didn't know who he was.
10:36I did see a man getting attacked.
10:40I did step in.
10:43Didn't trust me go.
10:48And I, er...
10:50I feel really guilty about that.
10:55So...
10:57I know I can be, you know, heavy-handed.
10:59And I'm like that with the girls as well.
11:10Does any of this make sense?
11:12It does.
11:15Well, you're my brother.
11:18I love you.
11:20I love you too.
11:24You know...
11:25You...
11:27Connected me with a family I didn't even know I had.
11:31So I just...
11:32Want to know...
11:34Are you okay?
11:37I am okay.
11:40And I'm going away with my friend, Oki.
11:44Where are you going?
11:46To Cardiff.
11:48He brought me tickets to the car show.
11:51When did this happen?
11:53Earlier today.
11:56I don't think it's a good idea.
11:59Why not?
12:01You could come if you like.
12:04I can ask Oki to get you a ticket.
12:07He's really nice.
12:14No, no, no, mate.
12:16I'm doing it again, aren't I?
12:19You go and have yourself a good time.
12:21I will.
12:22See you, Cormier.
12:23Oh.
12:25See you, mate.
12:33It's a stop with the questions, alright?
12:35I didn't come here to talk about me.
12:37He needs to move.
12:38He needs to move.
12:39I just had a bit of a difficult time.
12:40That's all.
12:41What do you mean?
12:42Like you had a breakdown or something?
12:44I...
12:48I got lost in this...
12:51This sort of...
12:52vodka.
12:53And, er...
12:55Well, I tried to...
12:57to...
12:58end my life.
13:03Wait.
13:04You mean you really tried to...
13:08Oh, Dad.
13:11Dad.
13:12I'm alright now.
13:13Alright?
13:14Are you sure?
13:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:16It's not like it was a quick fix.
13:17You know, I got help.
13:18Well, I don't know, do I?
13:19No-one's told me nothing.
13:20Yeah, well, we didn't want to worry you.
13:22Well, he was talking on the phone all the time.
13:24Why didn't you tell me anything?
13:25It was difficult, alright?
13:26It was difficult.
13:28And, er...
13:29When he came out of the mental health facility,
13:31you know, you did talk.
13:32Yeah.
13:33And just hearing your voice, you know,
13:34that really helped him.
13:36Wait, er...
13:37Hang on.
13:39So, you really...
13:40you really tried to...
13:44and then...
13:45a...
13:46a...
13:47a mental health facility?
13:51Right.
13:53Right.
13:54Look, it's not like I've suddenly got all the answers
13:56cos I ain't.
13:57It's not like I...
13:58I know how to talk about all this stuff cos I don't,
14:00but I...
14:01I do know that, you know, that, er...
14:03you should try and let your family support you.
14:06You know, to love you.
14:07That's important.
14:09And sometimes, you know, sometimes you've...
14:12you gotta try it and be honest with yourself, yeah?
14:16It's all this stuff, you know, with Callum,
14:18how you really doing?
14:19Callum, how you really doing?
14:29Even Lexi, that was, er...
14:32that was sort of the only thing keeping me going.
14:35And now it's gone.
14:38Well, prison can be the making of some people.
14:39You know, it doesn't stop you being a good parent.
14:41So you can adopt through the criminal record?
14:42Well, it depends on the crime.
14:43Yeah, I mean, it's the first thing I checked.
14:44Everything's taken into consideration.
14:45Like, a full 360 of your life, you know.
14:46And they'll need to interview your kids.
14:48They interview people you've been in long-term relationships with.
14:50Friends, family, employers.
14:51You know, it's like...
14:52it's like a full, deep dive on who you are.
14:53You know, what you want and what you can offer.
14:54You really want to adopt?
14:55Well, it doesn't stop you being a good parent.
14:56It doesn't stop you being a good parent.
14:57So you can adopt through the criminal record?
14:58Well, it depends on the crime.
14:59Yeah, I mean, it's the first thing I checked.
15:00Everything's taken into consideration.
15:01Like, a full 360 of your life, you know.
15:04And they'll need to interview your kids.
15:07They interview people you've been in long-term relationships with.
15:09Friends, family, employers.
15:11You know, it's like...
15:12It's like a full, deep dive on who you are.
15:15You know, what you want and what you can offer.
15:18Well, you really want to adopt.
15:21I mean, I can't lie.
15:24The Batman accounts are doing my head in.
15:27It was just a bit of a welcome distraction, that's all.
15:33It's not going to be easy.
15:36It's going to take time.
15:38And it may all come to nothing.
15:40But...
15:41it is possible.
15:43And all of this, um...
15:57Is it a deal-breaker?
15:58There are so many things that have happened in our relationship that should have been deal-breakers.
16:12There are so many reasons that both of us should have run for the hills.
16:15You know, but...
16:17We're here.
16:18Right?
16:19We're still fighting.
16:20Yeah, we are.
16:24Because for better or for worse, you are the love of my life.
16:30So...
16:32Deal-breaker?
16:33I don't know.
16:34But it is something that I would like to explore.
16:43Okay.
16:50We'll explore it.
16:51Really?
16:52I know Mitchells don't crash.
17:13But when they come to me asking for a bit on my cellmate and talking about relocating,
17:17a reduction on my sentence, whether that was a week, a month, a year, anything, I'll take it.
17:26Because through all the darkness, the lows, and I mean proper lows,
17:31I could see a way back home.
17:34Oh, darling.
17:36It was in touching distance, wasn't it?
17:39Me, Callum and Lexi in the living room doing some stupid dance routine.
17:44You can still have that.
17:45Can I?
17:46How?
17:49Look, she's got her dad, hasn't she?
17:50She's got her life, and I'd just come in and I'd mess that up.
17:53I'd break her.
17:54Like I broke Callum.
17:56So you're a good dad.
17:58Am I?
18:00I don't know.
18:03Not without Callum, you know?
18:04I need him.
18:06If he knew what you've been through.
18:08No.
18:10No.
18:11This ain't his fault.
18:13I tested him in ways that he didn't deserve, you know?
18:17He deserves better.
18:18He does.
18:19He does.
18:20He really does.
18:21And that hurts.
18:23That really hurts.
18:25Because I know how good it was.
18:30And how great it could have been.
18:34And I know that I'll never get that again.
18:37You will.
18:39You will, darling.
18:40It's just gonna take time.
18:42It ain't gonna be Callum.
18:44It won't.
18:46No, it won't.
18:48And I can hope.
18:49I can pray.
18:51But deep down...
18:53I know that I have to...
18:56I have to let him go.
18:58And I hate how that makes me feel.
19:00I hate it.
19:02So you just...
19:04You just concentrate on Lexi, yeah?
19:06Because you've got a little girl there that needs her dad.
19:09And I'll bring her up every week to visit her if I can, you know?
19:13You just concentrate on getting your head down, you know?
19:17Staying out of trouble and coming home as soon as you can.
19:24And you'll be doing that dance routine at home sooner than you think.
19:28You will.
19:30You never know.
19:32Dad might even join in.
19:34I've got one.
19:39I thought we were gonna go for two days.
19:42Yeah.
19:43The show's two days, but...
19:45You know.
19:46Focused it a little bit longer.
19:47But on a proper road trip.
19:49I need to tell Kwame.
19:51He worries about me.
19:54Yeah, nah.
19:55Yeah, mate.
19:56Yeah, of course.
19:58Look.
19:59We can call him on our way up.
20:01Now get packed up.
20:03If we're going for longer, I'm going to need more things.
20:07My cars.
20:08I need my cars.
20:09I want this one.
20:13And this one.
20:18Okie.
20:20What's this?
20:22And here we are.
20:23A double change coming up.
20:25You're a dead bait.
20:26You play like a girl.
20:28No.
20:29Have a night, you little skit.
20:33What the hell do you think you're doing?
20:34I am not having talk like that in my living room.
20:36What is your problem?
20:37Look.
20:38If you are upset and you need a day off, that's one thing.
20:40But I do not expect to come home and find the place trashed.
20:43You yelling disgusting things at the TV.
20:45What's the matter to you?
20:46Aye.
20:47I'm not doing nothing wrong.
20:48The place is a mess.
20:49So do your job and clean it up.
20:51I'm sorry.
20:53What, you think cleaning up your mess is her job?
20:55Mate, you are way out of line.
20:56I don't need this.
20:57And where do you think you're going?
20:59Away from her!
21:10I don't like people spying on me.
21:12Who's been spying on you?
21:13You're watching me.
21:15Like I'm a little baby.
21:17I don't understand.
21:18I told you not to treat me like a child.
21:20I thought we had to talk.
21:21You don't listen to me, quote me.
21:23Aye, aye, aye, aye.
21:24Do not touch me!
21:26Okay.
21:27Okay, I'm sorry.
21:29I want you to leave me alone for a while.
21:31I want to be my friends.
21:33Aye, Kojo, wait!
21:35Leave him.
21:37He needs some space.
21:44Coach?
21:45Coach, are you okay, mate?
21:47No, I'm not.
21:49Where are they taking you?
21:50Away from the cameras.
21:51I'm sorry, Harry.
21:52Coach, don't go with them.
21:53See, have you got some sort of problem?
21:58Didn't think so.
22:06I'll see you on your back.
22:07You should have made him clean that up.
22:20Look, on any other day I would.
22:22But part of his mum...
22:26Here.
22:27I just feel like every day it is getting worse.
22:32The tone.
22:34The aggression.
22:36You know what he's like when he's angry.
22:38He just doesn't listen to anyone.
22:40He listens to those people on his phone, and that's the problem.
22:45And we'll talk to him.
22:47The boss!
22:49I will.
22:51It can't go on.
23:09What have you done with him?
23:13Where are you taking him?
23:14Sit down, Harry.
23:17What?
23:19Please.
23:21Sit down.
23:44The man.
23:45Something's been keeping eye on us.
23:47No.
23:50I don't know nothing about that.
23:52A little George.
23:53Maybe.
23:55A protective older brother, but...
23:58...I don't think he's got it in him.
24:02Then I thought, maybe, it could be your mum.
24:07But Nicola would never be this stupid.
24:09Then I thought a little bit more.
24:13There was a geezer who knocked my door yesterday.
24:17Sticking his nose in.
24:21Going on and on about backing her from Kojo.
24:25And I think
24:29Izzy's got your dad's name written all over it.
24:33That...
24:37That's not his style.
24:41You know Harry, when people start to hesitate,
24:43that's when I know they're lying to me.
24:45It wasn't him, I promise.
24:51It wasn't him, Ravi.
24:53It's not how he works.
24:57Question.
25:03Have you made him aware of who he's dealing with?
25:05Or am I gonna have to show him what I'm capable of?
25:09To...
25:11Make him understand?
25:19It was me.
25:23On my own.
25:25Of course.
25:37Well, we all make mistakes.
25:43Well, we all make mistakes.
26:03But this, Harry...
26:05is one big mistake.
26:13Don't let no woman make you feel ashamed for being a man.
26:17It's the only way you can succeed in life.
26:19Being a man.
26:21You're a real man.
26:23Oi, incel.
26:25Where's your mates?
26:27You're a real man.
26:29I'm a real man.
26:31I'm a real man.
26:33I'm no more...
26:35I'm not a man.
26:37I'm not a man.
26:39We're all about to get into it.
26:41I'm not a man.
26:43I'm not a man.
26:45I'm not a man.
26:47I'm not a man.
