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.
04:35No!
04:36No!
04:37Oh!
04:38Oh!
04:39Oh!
04:40Now things continue to get worse.
05:10You alright?
05:27We need to get you out.
05:30I'm alright, just get you.
05:33Who was it?
05:36Oh, it doesn't matter. Yeah, it does matter. I wish it does. I just passed him on the landing.
05:42Did he do this?
05:45What is that?
05:49He just didn't kill me.
06:00Ta-da!
06:03I was going to think I want to see you again.
06:07Clearly.
06:08Right, yeah, sorry.
06:10Just a cheeky month in solitary.
06:12Good thing that stood on me, mate.
06:14Not a big deal.
06:16What are you on about? You took on Jez and his mates on your own.
06:20You're welcome.
06:22It wasn't just about you anyway.
06:24Sometimes people need a gentle reminder of his running things and I think I might have got my point across.
06:29With a bit of help from my special friend.
06:41So, er, what can I show you in?
06:43Just a bit of extra time added onto my sentence.
06:46What?
06:47I don't know what to say.
06:49Why 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.
07:08I knew things were bad.
07:10Didn't realise they were that bad.
07:11If Kev hadn't have 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.
07:22And thanks 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.
08:03What?
08:05Where do you study it?
08:06In the Karate Kwon.
08:08And other martial arts movies.
08:10Oh yeah, go on then.
08:11Let's 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.
08:24Oh yeah.
08:25Didn't see that coming.
08:26I've heard of you do.
08:27This is where we first met.
08:28What?
08:29Nothing.
08:30Oh, what is it?
08:31You can tell me anything.
08:33I've never...
08:34No.
08:35But I'm not gay.
08:36I'm not gay.
08:37Oh, nevermind.
08:38What? Nothing.
08:43Oh, what is it? You can tell me anything.
08:47I've never... you know.
09:01I'm not gay.
09:04Never mind.
09:17Oh, and can I interest you in one of our new brownies?
09:19They are dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and they're vegan.
09:24No, they sound horrible.
09:27So go on, what do you want to say?
09:29Right.
09:31Do you love Robert?
09:33Yeah, of course I do.
09:34Well, surely you can see how cruel it is lying to him about the fact that you're about to die.
09:42Yeah, but if 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.
09:58Well, he's not going to find out, is he?
10:03Me and Robert are meant to be together.
10:05And if I have to tell the honest little white lie to make sure of it, then so do you.
10:10Yeah?
10:11Don't lie, but...
10:14Where'd you get that?
10:15Ask me no questions, me tell you no lies.
10:17I've got news.
10:18Hmm?
10:19I'll meet my solicitor in a bit.
10:20Apparently, some new evidence has come to light.
10:21I might have grounds for an appeal.
10:22What, so you might be getting out?
10:23Well, maybe.
10:24I'm trying not to get too carried away with it all, but...
10:25I thought I'd go in home.
10:26Get my life back.
10:27Yeah, eh, eh.
10:28Yeah, eh, eh.
10:29Yeah, yeah, eh.
10:30Yeah, I mean sounds...
10:31sounds ace.
10:32So you might be getting out?
10:34Well, maybe.
10:35I'm trying not to get too carried away with it all, but...
10:40I thought I'd go in home.
10:43Get my life back.
10:48Yeah, yeah.
10:50Yeah, man. Sounds...
10:52Sounds ace.
10:56Best to get going cos she'll be here soon.
10:58Good job you've got that whisky.
11:00Yeah.
11:01Wow, something to celebrate.
11:03Yeah.
11:31What happened?
11:38Kev?
11:39Kev?
11:40What happened?
11:41I don't know.
11:42It's your man.
11:43The other knife.
11:44Help!
11:45Help!
11:46He's been stabbed!
11:47Who did this?
11:48I don't...
11:49I don't know who were wearing masks.
11:53They said it was something to do with Joseph.
11:56Oh, God, this is my fault.
11:59And I'm so sorry.
12:01Help!
12:02But it's something I've got to know.
12:04I did rob that bank.
12:06I...
12:07I love you.
12:08I love you too.
12:09I...
12:10I...
12:11I love you.
12:12I love you too.
12:13I...
12:14If...
12:15I survived this...
12:16Will you marry me?
12:20I...
12:21Before I met you, I'd never...
12:22I'd never chance to have any kind of a futurist.
12:27Please.
12:28Of course I will.
12:29Promise me.
12:30Promise me you'll leave.
12:31Yeah.
12:32Yeah.
12:33Okay.
12:34Bye.
12:35Bye.
12:36Bye.
12:37Bye.
12:38Bye.
12:39Bye.
12:40Bye.
12:41Bye.
12:42Bye.
12:43Bye.
12:44Bye.
12:58Bye.
12:59Way to get engaged.
13:01Was Kev all right?
13:03Yeah, I was lucky they missed the vital organ, but...
13:05bounced back pretty quick.
13:09After that I always felt like I owed him.
13:11So was getting married the reason he 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.
13:28Till one day, I got a visit from someone I wasn't expecting.
13:41What are you doing here?
13:43I baked you a cake.
13:45There's a nail fire in one of the layers.
13:47What?
13:49I'm joking.
13:52Like you'd have the patience to file your way out.
13:54So how did you know I was here?
13:56I didn't want people to know.
13:57I got it out of Victoria. I can be very persuasive.
14:01Right, well what do you want?
14:05I'll get to the point.
14:10I've got cancer.
14:15I'm... I'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 er...
14:28I've decided to stop treatment.
14:32Which is what's led me to you.
14:36Well, what can I do?
14:38I came here to make a deal.
14:42I won't tell Aaron about you being so close if you start your appeal.
14:47Why?
14:48Because he's run off abroad somewhere.
14:50It doesn't look like he's ever coming back.
14:53Why? What's happened?
14:54Sweetheart, there's been all sorts going on.
14:56Look, I won't sugar coat it. It's been bad.
15:00Really 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...
15:20It'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.
15:34Yeah, I felt completely useless.
15:39But it was what Faith said next...
15:41That really changed everything.
15:46I wish I could help, but...
15:48There's nothing I can do.
15:49Me 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.
16:03He was happiest with you.
16:05What you had was special. Everyone could see it.
16:08I mean...
16:11The new evidence isn't even that strong.
16:13It might not make any difference.
16:15There's no harm in trying, though, isn't there?
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?
16:33More than anything.
16:35So take some advice from an old gal...
16:37...who's looking down the barrel.
16:39Get him back.
16:41And hold him tight.
16:43Because love like that should never go to waste.
16:55I can't believe my gran did that for us.
16:57If it wasn't for Faith reminding me of what matters, I wouldn't be here now.
17:01To Faith Dingle.
17:03Wicked, wise and wonderful.
17:05Years after I started, the appeal was stalling.
17:07I saw your post about Aaron and John getting married.
17:09Gave me the last bit of fire that I needed.
17:11to give my useless solicitor a kick up the backside.
17:13To get my useless solicitor a kick up the backside.
17:15If 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 started, the appeal was stalling.
17:29I saw your post about Aaron and John getting married.
17:33Gave me the last bit of fire that I needed to give my useless solicitor a kick up the backside.
17:41Get my case heard.
17:43And it worked.
17:45And how did Kev take that?
17:49Not great.
17:51Didn't exactly make things easy, to be honest.
17:55What's all this I'm hearing about you getting out early?
17:59Well, the screws were banging on about it and I said that I can't be the case
18:03because I'd known if you had an appeal.
18:05I wanted to be the one to tell you.
18:07You didn't lie to me all this time.
18:09I thought that you loved me.
18:11I do.
18:13But you've been trying to leave me.
18:15Just like everybody else has my entire life.
18:17After everything that I've done for you.
18:19It's not that I want to leave you.
18:21It's just...
18:23My sister.
18:25She's got a brain tumor.
18:27She's got a brain tumor.
18:29Big?
18:31My solicitor's been appealing.
18:33Trying to get me out on early release so I can be with her.
18:36But...
18:37She's in a really bad way.
18:38She's...
18:39I don't even think she's going to make it.
18:40I'm...
18:41I'm sorry, I just...
18:43I'm really sorry.
18:44No, no, no, no.
18:45Cry, cry.
18:47I'm sorry.
18:48What?
18:50I hate that I've lied to her.
18:52I really do.
18:53But...
18:56Kev's done so much for me.
19:00I just didn't want to hurt him by telling me about you.
19:05Erm...
19:06Well, I get that now.
19:09Yeah...
19:10Kev might be a psycho, but he doesn't deserve to die alone.
19:13So then, as you know, he got out.
19:17Radio silence.
19:18So 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
19:30and that I was misdiagnosed to him.
19:32Yeah, I'm not sure more lies is the right answer.
19:36Hm.
19:37I lie about stuff all the time, eh?
19:40When I was eight, I beat up this lad
19:42because he didn't believe me dad was Arnold Schwarzenegger.
19:46I lie about not having a kid all the time.
19:49You've got a kid?
19:50Yeah, a son.
19:53But why lie about it?
19:54Well, because I don't want people thinking bad of me
19:56for never bothering with him.
19:59See?
20:00Exactly like that.
20:02I mean, I never asked to have him.
20:04So I had a crazy one night with a barmaid in Leeds
20:06and then suddenly they banged with a baby.
20:09Does he live with the mother?
20:10No.
20:11She put him up for adoption as soon as she was born.
20:13She got him or something right for it.
20:16I think she got herself murdered a few years ago.
20:20And you have never contacted him?
20:21Nah.
20:23Trust me, I've done him a favour.
20:25A good parent, he 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.
20:32But I do feel bad about lying to Robert,
20:35but if it wasn't for him,
20:37I would have come out of prison and had nothing.
20:40I do understand that.
20:42Robert was struggling when he first came out.
20:44Took him a while to find his feet.
20:46What, with Victoria's health problems and all that?
20:50Health problems?
20:52Yeah.
20:53You know, the brain tumour.
20:55Whatever you need.
21:01I'm there for you.
21:03Me too.
21:07We only have to keep up the lies a little while longer and then...
21:14Hopefully Kev will die a happy man.
21:17Why are you looking at me like that?
21:20Robert told me that she had a brain tumour and was in a proper bad way.
21:23Is that not true?
21:31We're approaching the rather sticky area of doctor-patient confidentiality.
21:36Your face has told me everything I need to know.
21:40I must think I'm alright, Muck.
21:43Why would he lie to me about something like that?
21:45!
21:55BUZZER
21:58Why would he lie to us?
22:00It's sointendantal Thomas has been thrown out.
22:02My first meal is taken away.
22:06It's sacred, did he?
