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