00:30It was November 2020, that I got transferred back to Houghton.
00:40Hang on. I'm still trying to wrap my head around why you didn't tell me.
00:48I thought if I was close by it would be difficult for you to properly move on. It was easier this way.
00:56Yeah, he probably had a point.
01:00I met Kev on day one. It's fair to say we didn't exactly hit it off straight away.
01:05This is your new suite. Mind driving the chandelier on your way in.
01:08Who's this?
01:17This is Robert. In ice.
01:20What are you in for? Over to your library book.
01:31Murder.
01:33What did you murder?
01:35Turns out.
01:37The guy that raped my sister.
01:44How about you?
01:47I'm Dobry. But it's a set up. I'm anything.
01:52Right, well I suppose I should show you around.
01:56That bed, that's mine.
01:59All that stuff up there, that's mine.
02:02That fit bird on the wall, she's definitely mine.
02:05Toilet is technically mine but I'm not a monster so I'll let you use it as long as you don't spray.
02:10I hate that.
02:11Yeah, me too.
02:12Now the big thing you need to remember, and I cannot stress this enough.
02:16Don't touch my gear.
02:19As if you do.
02:21Well, you'll have to get my last bandmate to tell you what'll happen.
02:25As if he can talk ever again.
02:28In those early months, Kev took quite a flexible approach to his own set of rules.
02:43Hey!
02:44It's your missus.
02:45There was a mic!
02:47Just looking.
02:49Who is she?
02:51It's my sister.
02:53Who is this?
02:56It's my son.
03:01You got any kids?
03:03You have their life.
03:05Oh!
03:06Well, well, well.
03:08No, give me that.
03:15No, I'm not gay.
03:17Convincing.
03:18He's a big wedding.
03:20I mean, I'm bi.
03:21He's my ex.
03:22He'd sack you off when you got sent out, yeah.
03:26No.
03:27I broke it off with him.
03:30You don't want him wasting his life waiting for me.
03:37You ought to be careful, mate.
03:40Something like that.
03:42That's a massive target on your back.
03:44What?
03:45By the looks of ya.
03:46Might already have one of them.
03:49There's nothing I can't handle.
03:56You should put those on your wall.
04:01This in here.
04:03Safe space.
04:18Things continue to get worse.
04:35Things continue to get worse.
04:44Now things continue to get worse.
05:14You alright?
05:26We need to get you out.
05:29I'm alright.
05:31Get you.
05:33It wasn't.
05:36It doesn't matter.
05:38It doesn't matter.
05:39I just passed him on the landing.
05:42Did he do this?
05:45He would have stopped.
05:48He just didn't kill me.
06:01Ta-da!
06:03I was going to think I want to see you again.
06:06Clearly.
06:08Right, yeah, sorry.
06:10Just a cheeky month in solitary.
06:12Good day that stood on me, mate.
06:14Not a big deal.
06:16What are you on about?
06:17You took on Jez and his mates on your own.
06:19You're welcome.
06:22It wasn't just about you anyway.
06:24Sometimes people need a gentle reminder of his running things
06:27when I think I might have got my point across.
06:29Weird.
06:32A bit of help.
06:35From my special friend.
06:41So, er, what parents are you in?
06:43Just a bit of extra time added onto my sentence.
06:46What?
06:47I don't know what to say.
06:48Er...
06:51What can I repay you?
06:52You can't.
06:54Don't have to.
06:56The only person in here who don't want to kill.
06:59Excuse me.
07:00I knew things were bad.
07:10Didn't realise they were that bad.
07:12If Kev hadn't stepped in, it would have been me that would have been killed for sure.
07:16So he does have his uses then?
07:18He saved my life.
07:19Thanks to him, prison went from being a living hell to something more bearable.
07:30Okay, so then how did you go from cellmates to something more?
07:34As the months passed by, we became more comfortable in each other's company.
07:38Karate Kwon Do, it's not just about mashing people up.
07:51It's about mind, body and soul.
07:55Karate Kwon Do?
07:56Yeah.
07:57That's real?
07:58Yeah.
07:59It's a mixed martial arts philosophy that I have developed over many years of study and practice.
08:04Where do you study it?
08:06And the Karate Kwon Do and other martial arts movies.
08:10Oh yeah, go on then. The rest show us some.
08:12Alright.
08:14Set the stance.
08:17Now, it's important to remember, in any combat situation, never underestimate the element of surprise.
08:27Oh yeah.
08:29Didn't see that coming.
08:30Very few do.
08:31This is where we first met.
08:41What?
08:42Nothing.
08:43Oh, what is it?
08:45You can tell me anything.
08:47I've never...
08:50You know.
09:01I'm not gay.
09:02I'm not gay.
09:05Never mind.
09:18Oh, and can I interest you in one of our new brownies?
09:20They are dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free and they're vegan.
09:24No, they sound horrible.
09:28So go on, what do you want to say?
09:30Right.
09:32Do you love Robert?
09:33Yeah, of course I do.
09:34Well then surely you can see how cruel it is lying to him about the fact that you're about to die.
09:42Yeah, but...
09:43If I tell him the truth then...
09:46Well, he'll just leave me like everybody else in my life ever has.
09:51You don't know that.
09:54If he finds out that you lied to him, you can be guaranteed that he will.
09:59Well, he's not going to find out, is he?
10:03Me and Robert are meant to be together.
10:06And if I have to tell the honest little white lie to make sure of it, then...
10:10So do you.
10:11Yeah?
10:13Don't lie, but...
10:15What'd you do that?
10:16Ask me no questions, me tell you no lies.
10:21Got news?
10:22Hmm?
10:24I'll meet my solicitor in a bit.
10:25Apparently, some new evidence has come to light.
10:29I might have grounds for an appeal.
10:32So you might be getting out?
10:34Well, maybe.
10:36I'm trying not to get too carried away with it all, but...
10:41I thought I'd go in home.
10:43Get my life back.
10:48Yeah, yeah.
10:49Yeah.
10:51Yeah, man, sounds...
10:53Sounds ace.
10:56That's going to go in because she'll be here soon.
10:59Good job you've got that whisky.
11:00Yeah.
11:01I might have something to celebrate.
11:02Yeah.
11:03Yeah.
11:04Yeah.
11:09I don't know.
11:11It's just you know.
11:13I gotta go in there.
11:14Go.
11:15Yeah.
11:17I don't know.
11:18You're right.
11:20I don't know.
11:22Uh...
11:23Kev? Kev? What happened?
11:41He jumped me. The other knife.
11:44Help! Help! He's been stabbed!
11:48Who did this?
11:49I don't... I don't know if I'm wearing masks.
11:53I said it was something to do with Joseph.
11:56Oh, God, this is my fault.
11:58And I'm so sorry.
12:00Help!
12:02But it's something I've got to know.
12:04I did rub that bank.
12:10I... I love you.
12:12I love you, too.
12:14If I survive this...
12:17Will you marry me?
12:21I...
12:23I just want to make you.
12:25I never...
12:26I never chance to have any kind of a future.
12:29Please.
12:32Of course I will.
12:38Promise me. Promise me you'll leave.
12:40Yeah, yeah, okay. I'm back. I'm back.
12:43I'm back.
12:44Come on.
12:45I'm back.
12:59Way to get engaged.
13:01Was Kev alright?
13:02Yeah, I was lucky they missed the vital organ, but...
13:05bounced back pretty quick.
13:06After that, I always felt like I owed him.
13:11So was getting married the reason you didn't go through your appeal?
13:14It was a factor.
13:17I'd pleaded guilty to murder, so...
13:19Even with the new evidence, the chances of an appeal just seemed impossible.
13:25So I pushed it to the back of my mind.
13:29Till one day, I got a visit from someone...
13:31I wasn't expecting.
13:41What are you doing here?
13:43I baked you a cake.
13:45There's a nail file in one of the layers.
13:47What?
13:50I'm joking.
13:51Like you'd have the patience to file your way out.
13:54So how did you know I was here?
13:55I didn't want people to know.
13:57I got it out of Victoria.
13:58I can be very persuasive.
14:00Right, well what do you want?
14:05I'll get to the point.
14:10I've got cancer.
14:15I'm...
14:17I'm so sorry.
14:18And I'll find out tomorrow if the treatment's worked.
14:21But I already know the answer and it's not good news.
14:24Look, the family don't know this yet, but...
14:30I've decided to stop treatment.
14:34Which is what's led me to you.
14:37Well, what can I do?
14:38What can I do?
14:39I came here to make a deal.
14:43I won't tell Aaron about you being so close if you start your appeal.
14:47Why?
14:48Because he's run off abroad somewhere.
14:51It doesn't look like he's ever coming back.
14:53Why?
14:54What's happened?
14:55Sweetheart, there's been all sorts going on.
14:57Look, I won't sugarcoat it.
15:00It's been bad.
15:03Really bad.
15:04And did she...
15:14Did she tell you what happened between me and Liv?
15:16Yeah.
15:18Running away from Liv and not being there for her, it's...
15:22It's my biggest regret.
15:26You wouldn't have sorted things out in the end.
15:28That's what matters.
15:29That must have been hard for you to hear about.
15:32There's not a lot you can do from prison.
15:34Well, yeah, I felt completely useless.
15:39But it was what Faith said next that really changed everything.
15:46I wish I could help, but there's nothing I can do.
15:48Me and Aaron aren't together anymore.
15:50Well, I don't accept that.
15:52Well, it's not up to you.
15:53You're the only person who's ever been able to get through to him.
15:57He'd come home for you.
16:00From the sounds of it, he might be happier where he is.
16:02He was happiest with you.
16:05What you had was special.
16:06Everyone could see it.
16:08I mean...
16:10The new evidence isn't even that strong.
16:12It might not make any difference.
16:15There's no harm in trying, though, isn't there?
16:17There's no harm in trying.
16:17There's no harm in trying.
16:18There's no harm in trying.
16:19And we all know what you're like when you've set your heart on something.
16:24Wild horses don't stop you.
16:27You do still love him.
16:30Don't you?
16:30More than anything.
16:33So take some advice from an old gal who's looking down the barrel.
16:47Get him back.
16:51And hold him tight.
16:56Because love like that should never go to waste.
16:58I can't believe my gran did that for us.
17:11If it wasn't for Faith reminding me of what matters, I wouldn't be here now.
17:17To Faith Dingle.
17:19Wicked, wise and wonderful.
17:27Years after I'd started, the appeal was stalling.
17:31I saw your post about Aaron and John getting married.
17:37Gave me the last bit of fire that I needed to give my useless solicitor a kick up the backside.
17:41Get my case heard.
17:42And it worked.
17:47And how did Kev take that?
17:50Not great.
17:52Didn't exactly make things easy to be honest.
17:57What's all this I'm hearing about you getting out early?
18:00Well the screws were banging on about it and I said that can't be the case because I'd known if you had an appeal.
18:06I wanted to be the one to tell you.
18:07You've been lying to me all this time.
18:11I thought that you loved me.
18:12I do.
18:13But you've been trying to leave me, just like everybody else has my entire life.
18:18After everything that I've done for you.
18:19It's not that I want to leave you.
18:22It's just...
18:24My sister.
18:26She's got a brain tumor.
18:29What?
18:29My solicitor's been appealing, trying to get me out on early release so I can be with her.
18:36But she's in a really bad way.
18:38I don't even think she's going to make it.
18:42I'm sorry.
18:43I'm really sorry.
18:44No, no, no, no.
18:44Come here, come here.
18:47I'm sorry.
18:51I hate that I've lied to her and I really do.
18:54But...
18:56Kev's done so much for me.
18:58I just didn't want to hurt him by telling me about you.
19:05Well, I get that now.
19:09Yeah, Kev might be a psycho, but he doesn't deserve to die alone.
19:12So then, as you know, he got out, radio silence, so I didn't want anybody to do under the circumstances.
19:20Told him I was dying.
19:22And what happens in a few months, when you're still alive?
19:28Maybe you could tell him there was a mix-up with the test results and that I was misdiagnosed to him.
19:32Yeah, I'm not sure more lies is the right answer.
19:35I lie about stuff all the time, eh?
19:38When I was eight, I beat up this lad because he didn't believe my dad was Arnold Schwarzenegger.
19:45I lie about not having a kid all the time.
19:49You've got a kid?
19:50Yeah, a son.
19:52But why lie about it?
19:54Well, because I don't want people thinking bad of me for never bothering with him.
19:58See?
19:59Exactly like that.
20:01I mean, I never asked to have him.
20:03I just had a crazy one night with a barmaid in Leeds and then suddenly left the bank with the baby.
20:09Does he live with the mother?
20:10No.
20:11She put him up for adoption as soon as she was born.
20:13It's got Emma something right for it.
20:16I think she got herself murdered a few years ago.
20:19And you have never contacted him?
20:21No.
20:22I trust me, I've done him a favour.
20:24A good parent, Ian does not.
20:26I'm running my family in any way.
20:28He could be living on the other side of the world now, for a while.
20:32Well, I do feel bad about lying to Robert, but...
20:36If it wasn't for him, I would have come out of prison and had nothing.
20:40I do understand, then.
20:42Robert was struggling when he first came out.
20:44Took him a while to find his feet.
20:46Um, what with Victoria's health problems and all that.
20:50Health problems?
20:52Yeah.
20:53You know, the...
20:54...brain tumour.
20:59Whatever you need.
21:01I'm there for you.
21:03Me too.
21:09We only have to keep up the lies a little while longer and then...
21:14...hopefully Kev will die a happy man.
21:17Why are you looking at me like that?
21:20Robert told me that she had a brain tumor and was in a proper bad way.
21:26Is that not true?
21:27We're approaching the rather sticky area of doctor-patient confidentiality.
21:35Your face has told me everything I need to know.
21:39I must think I'm alright, Muck.
21:43Why would he lie to me about something like that?
21:44Something like that.
