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.
04:35But things continue to get worse.
04:48Gruff!
04:50Gruff!
04:51Gruff!
04:52Gruff!
04:55Gruff!
04:58Gruff!
04:59Race.
05:02You alright?
05:27We need to get you out of here.
05:30We need to get you out.
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?
05:45What is that?
05:48He didn't kill me.
06:00What's the only thing I want to see you again?
06:06Clearly.
06:07Right, yeah, sorry.
06:09It's just a cheeky month in solitary.
06:12Good thing that stood on me head, mate.
06:14Not a big deal.
06:15What are you on about?
06:16You took on Jez and his mates on your own.
06:19You're welcome.
06:21It wasn't just about you anyway.
06:23Sometimes people need a gentle reminder he's running things
06:26and 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?
06:44Just a bit of extra time had it done to me sentence.
06:46What?
06:47I don't know what to say.
06:48Er...
06:51Why can I repay you?
06:52You can't.
06:54Don't have to.
06:56The only person in here I don't want to kill.
06:59Excuse me.
07:08I knew things were bad.
07:10Didn't realise they were that bad.
07:12If Kev hadn't stepped in,
07:13it 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,
07:24prison went from being a living hell to
07:28something more bearable.
07:30Okay, so then how did you go from cell mates to
07:33something more?
07:34As the months passed by,
07:36we became more comfortable in each other's company.
07:47Karate Kwon Do.
07:48It'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?
07:58It's a mixed martial arts philosophy
08:00that I have developed over many years of study
08:02and practice.
08:03What?
08:05Where do you study it?
08:06In the Karate Kwon.
08:07And other martial arts movies.
08:10Oh yeah, go on then.
08:11Let's show us some.
08:12Alright.
08:13Set the stance.
08:17Now, it's important to remember
08:19in any combat situation,
08:20never underestimate the element of surprise.
08:21Oh yeah, I didn't see that coming.
08:29A bit of you do.
08:35This is where we first met.
08:36What?
08:37Nothing.
08:38Oh, what is it?
08:39Can you tell me anything?
08:40I've never...
08:41No.
08:42I've never...
08:43No.
08:44I'm not gay.
08:45I'm not gay.
08:46I'm not gay.
08:47I'm not gay.
08:48I'm not gay.
08:49I'm not gay.
09:02I'm not gay.
09:05No, never mind.
09:18Oh, and can I interest you in one of our new brownies?
09:20They are dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free,
09:23and they're vegan.
09:24No.
09:25They sound horrible.
09:28I forgot what you want to say.
09:30Right.
09:31Do you love Robert?
09:33Yeah, of course I do.
09:34Well then surely you can see how cruel it is
09:36lying to him about the fact that you're about to die.
09:42Yeah, but if I tell him the truth then...
09:47he'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,
09:56you can be guaranteed that he will.
09:58Well he's not going to find out, is he?
10:02Me and Robert are meant to be together.
10:05And if I have to tell the honest little white lie
10:07to make sure of it then...
10:09so do you.
10:10Yeah?
10:12Don't lie, but...
10:14What'd you do 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,
10:22some new evidence has come to light.
10:24I might have grounds for an appeal.
10:26So you might be getting out?
10:27Well maybe.
10:28I'm trying not to get too carried away with it all but...
10:30I thought I'd go in home.
10:31Get my life back.
10:32Yeah.
10:33Yeah.
10:34Yeah.
10:35Yeah.
10:36Yeah.
10:37Yeah.
10:38Yeah, man.
10:39Sounds...
10:40Sounds ace.
10:41Best to get going cos she'll be here soon.
10:43But...
10:44Good job you've got that whisky.
10:45Yeah.
10:46I might have something to celebrate.
10:47Yeah.
10:49Yeah.
10:50Yeah.
10:51Yeah, man.
10:52Sounds...
10:53Sounds ace.
10:56Best to get going cos she'll be here soon.
10:58But...
10:59Good job you've got that whisky.
11:00Yeah.
11:01I might have something to celebrate.
11:02Yeah.
11:18Yeah.
11:38Kev.
11:39Kev!
11:40What happened?
11:42It's your man.
11:43The other life.
11:44Help!
11:45Help, he's been stabbed!
11:49Who did this?
11:50I don't...
11:51I don't know who I'm wearing masks.
11:53He said it was something to do with Joseph.
11:56Oh, God.
11:57This is my fault.
11:59And I'm so sorry.
12:00Help!
12:01But it's something I've got to know.
12:05I did rub that bank.
12:10I...
12:11I love you.
12:12I love you too.
12:13If I survive this...
12:19Will you marry me?
12:24Before I met you, I'd never...
12:27I'd never chance to have any kind of a futures.
12:32Please.
12:38Of course I will.
12:40Promise me, promise me you'll leave.
12:41Yeah, yeah, okay.
12:42I'm back.
12:43I'm back.
12:44I'm back.
12:45No way to get engaged.
13:02Was Kev alright?
13:03Yeah, I was lucky they missed the vital organ.
13:05But...
13:06bounced back pretty quick.
13:09After that, I always felt like I owed him.
13:12So 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...
13:20Even 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.
13:42What are you doing here?
13:44I baked you a cake.
13:46There's a nail file in one of the layers.
13:48What?
13:50I'm joking.
13:52Like you'd have the patience to file your way out.
13:55So how did you know I was here?
13:56I didn't want people to know.
13:58I got it out of Victoria.
13:59I can be very persuasive.
14:01Right, well what do you want?
14:05I'll get to the point.
14:10I've got cancer.
14:12I'm...
14:14I'm so sorry.
14:16And I'll find out tomorrow if the treatment's worked.
14:21But I already know the answer and it's not good news.
14:25Look, the family don't know this yet, but...
14:29I've decided to stop treatment.
14:33Which is what's led me to you.
14:37Well, what can I do?
14:40I came here to make a deal.
14:42I won't tell Aaron about you being so close if you start your appeal.
14:47Why?
14:49Because he's run off abroad somewhere.
14:51It doesn't look like he's ever coming back.
14:54Why? What's happened?
14:55Sweetheart, there's been all sorts going on.
14:59Look, I won't sugarcoat it. It's been bad.
15:02Really bad.
15:04And did she...
15:13Did she tell you what happened between me and Liv?
15:17Yeah.
15:19Running away from Liv and not being there for her.
15:21It's...
15:23It's my biggest regret.
15:26You wouldn't have sorted things out in the end.
15:29That's what matters.
15:30That must have been hard for you to hear about.
15:32There's not a lot you can do from prison.
15:35Yeah, I felt completely useless.
15:39But it was what Faith said next that really changed everything.
15:42I wish I could help, but there's nothing I can do. Me and Aaron aren't together anymore.
15:50Look, 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...
16:09The new evidence isn't even that strong. It might not make any difference.
16:15There's no harm in trying though, is 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?
16:31More than anything.
16:42So take some advice from an old gal.
16:45Who's looking down the barrel.
16:52Get him back.
16:54And hold him tight.
16:56Because love like that should never go to waste.
17:01I can't believe my gran did that for us.
17:11If it wasn't for Faith reminding me of what matters,
17:15I wouldn't be here now.
17:18To Faith Dingle.
17:20Wicked, wise and wonderful.
17:27Years after I started, the appeal was stolen.
17:29I saw your post about Aaron and John getting married.
17:34Gave 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.
17:44And how did Kev take that?
17:48Not great.
17:50Didn'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 I can't be the case because I'd known if you had an appeal.
18:04I wanted to be the one to tell you.
18:07You've been lying to me all this time.
18:09I thought that you loved me.
18:12I do.
18:14But 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?
18:31My 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.
18:40I'm sorry I just... I'm really sorry.
18:45Come here, come here.
18:47I'm sorry.
18:52I hate that I've lied to her and I really do.
18:55But...
18:57Kev's done so much for me.
19:01She didn't want to hurt him by telling me about you.
19:06Well I get that now.
19:07Yeah, Kev might be a psycho but he doesn't deserve to die alone.
19:15So then, as you know, he got out.
19:17Radio silence so I didn't want anybody to do under the circumstances.
19:21Told him I was dying.
19:23And 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.
19:33Yeah, I'm not sure more lies is the right answer.
19:37I lie about stuff all the time, mate.
19:40When 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?
20:00Exactly like that.
20:02I mean I never asked to have him.
20:04I 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?
20:11No.
20:12He's gone for adoption as soon as she was born.
20:14He's got Emma something.
20:16Right for it.
20:17I think she got herself murdered a few years ago.
20:20And you have never contacted him?
20:22No.
20:24Trust me, I've done him a favour.
20:25He's a good parent.
20:26He does not really my family in any way.
20:28He could be living on the other side of the world now for a while.
20:33But I do feel bad about lying to Robert but if it wasn't for him I would have come out of prison and had nothing.
20:40I do understand that.
20:42Robert was struggling when he first came out.
20:45Took him a while to find his feet.
20:47Not with Victoria's health problems and all that.
20:50Health problems?
20:52Yeah.
20:53You know, the 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...
21:14Hopefully 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.
21:26Is 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.
21:40Robert must think I'm alright, Muck.
21:43Why would he lie to me about something like that?
21:49I'll see you next week.
21:50Thanks, John.
21:52Thanks, John.
21:54Bye.
21:56Bye.
21:59Bye.
22:01Bye.
22:02Bye.
22:04Bye.
22:06Bye.
22:10Bye.
22:11Bye.
22:12Bye.
22:14Bye.
22:16Bye.
