00:00Cojo told me Harry was in trouble, so I went round, and Harry was gone.

00:22Oki was there, with a knife in his hands, waiting for Harry to come back, or even Cojo.

00:35I stu-, stupidly, I confronted him, and he attacked me, and all I could do was fight

00:41him off, you know, pushing and shoving, and we fell on the floor, and then, that's it.

00:51He tried to kill me, it was an accident.

00:56The deceased was linked to your son, and a raid at the crime scene for drug offences

01:01occurred last week.

01:03You understand that raises questions for us?

01:06I'm sorry, I really am.

01:10If you carry a blade, you're more than likely going to get stabbed, that's what you lot say,

01:15right?

01:16Is she self-defence?

01:20You know, I know better than anyone, that it ain't easy being interviewed by the police.

01:27You know, I'm proud of you both.

01:30You told the truth, and that's all we can do, and your dad, he was fighting for his life.

01:39That scumbag was after your brother, and I know, it don't seem it right now, but we're

01:46lucky.

01:47Lucky?

01:48Dad's going to prison.

01:50He killed someone.

01:51Barney.

01:52No, Mum.

01:53No, I can't deal with this.

01:54I can't.

01:55Oh, love.

01:56Come on.

01:57It'll be okay.

01:58We all will.

01:59You okay?

02:00Have you taken your methadone?

02:01Look, I know you're struggling, darling, okay?

02:02But your dad did this for you, so you can't be spiralling right now.

02:17You've just got to stick to the plan, okay?

02:19Stay on the straight and narrow, and everything will be okay, I promise.

02:22I'm not okay, Mum.

02:24And this will never be okay.

02:45Nick?

02:47Any news?

02:50Didn't need to go to the pictures yesterday.

02:52You could've just stuck around here and watched the horror show.

02:55You'll have to turn your stomach.

02:57That's why we should count our blessings.

03:00Eh?

03:01You're home, and we're all safe and happy.

03:04Yeah.

03:05What night?

03:08We've got a visa.

03:11I can officially confirm that Santa Claus is in production.

03:15I finished it last night.

03:17Loved it.

03:18So I woke up this morning and thought, we've got an in-set day.

03:20Why not make it?

03:21All we need is this and a savage young director.

03:25I've done a list of some potential local cast members.

03:30I'm going to get some mates involved.

03:32Hair and make-up, stuff like that.

03:33It's all go.

03:34This is exactly what we need right now.

03:36I actually produced my own play quite a few years ago.

03:41If you're looking for a part, you're going to have to audition.

03:43Sorry.

03:44But, before we start, I did have a few ideas.

03:50What about making it about two sisters instead?

03:52Now's not a good time.

03:55Okay, well, I just thought that...

03:58Well, you thought wrong, okay?

04:06I don't believe this.

04:08I mean, he's just defending himself, isn't he?

04:10He'll be home before we know it.

04:12With any luck, that solicitor will pull his finger out.

04:14Yeah, well, when you've got a family, you don't need luck.

04:17You don't need Phil.

04:22Nicola, if you need to talk...

04:24No, look, it's fine.

04:26Everything's going to be fine, all right?

04:28Just, please, be quiet.

04:32Right.

04:33He's not answering, so we need to go and find him.

04:36Well, come on, let's go.

04:42Oh.

04:44Oki's dead?

04:45Yeah, after you left, Harry got away and...

04:48Teddy ran up there.

04:50Oki was out for blood.

04:51He came off worse.

04:54I'm sorry this has happened, okay, but...

04:57It's over now.

04:59It's done.

05:00Okay?

05:01That's right.

05:02You're safe now, yeah?

05:04I sent Teddy there.

05:07This is my fault.

05:08No, no, no, no, no.

05:09None of this is your fault.

05:11No, no, no.

05:13It's all finished now.

05:15Okay?

05:16You're safe.

05:20Kojo, just wait.

05:22It's the coroner.

05:23Well, he knows.

05:24Yeah.

05:25Please still need to talk to Kojo.

05:27I haven't slept.

05:28I was worried he was going to wander off again.

05:29I should have kept an eye on him.

05:30I should have kept...

05:31If you want to point fingers, point him across the road, Dad.

05:33You had a chance to think about that job in Dubai, yeah?

05:35We haven't had time.

05:36Well, maybe you should make some time.

05:37You should focus on your family.

05:38Let me focus on Kojo.

05:39Oh, OK.

05:40I can't remember.

05:41I was worried he was going to wander off again.

05:42I should have kept an eye on him, I should have kept him.

05:43I should have kept...

05:44Well, if you want to point fingers, point him across the road, Dad.

05:47You had a chance to think about that job in Dubai, yeah?

05:49We haven't had time.

05:50Well, maybe you should make some time.

05:53You should focus on your family.

05:58And let me focus on Kojo.

06:07Oh, first day back, the dishwasher's on the blink.

06:14Between that and sorting out Ben's new prison canteen money this morning,

06:17I think I'm needing to have a holiday.

06:19Still, at least he's happy in this new place, so it's more comforts, eh?

06:28Look, just so you know, I'm not happy about Ross being ours either, OK?

06:32But him and Harvey...

06:33It's all right, Aunty Caff, I know.

06:37Right, enough, we've got a Stephen score every day.

06:41Why'd you actually let him in here?

06:42What, to spit on his hand roll?

06:43Uh, boys, leave it out, yeah?

06:45Leave it out?

06:45You should throw him out!

06:46No, I'll just go.

06:47Yeah, do us all a favour, bruv, move.

06:49Come on, you're guilty now, are you?

06:51Oi!

06:52It's a bit late for a viney, innit?

06:54That's enough.

06:55Joel is banged up and Tommy done the right thing, end of.

06:59So leave him alone, let him finish his lunch.

07:03Show's over, all right?

07:07Go ahead and sit down, Tommy.

07:11Bring you over a hot chocolate.

07:13My treat.

07:21I ain't got enough on me plate.

07:22I know, I know that, but...

07:24I wouldn't ask if it weren't family, huh?

07:27And this saliserie's got, he's that bad, is he?

07:30Look, Teddy's my brother, Phil.

07:34He needs help.

07:36I know that it was self-defence, but you know how these things can go on.

07:40All right, well, I saw Richie Monday, she's got a lot on, but...

07:44I'll give her a call, see what I can do.

07:46Thanks, mate, thanks.

07:49See?

07:50See?

07:50We're all in this together, haven't we?

07:51What's she doing now?

07:59Yeah, let's give this up to Kojo.

08:01Do you know why Dad's been beating himself up about keeping Kojo safe?

08:04And there you are, one of the few people that actually could have kept him safe.

08:07Junior, don't.

08:08Kojo ain't the only victim here.

08:09He's the only one that's going to suffer, though, isn't he?

08:11Do you know what?

08:12I owe Teddy rocks.

08:14What?

08:14Because he's just as much to blame as you and your poxy son.

08:16I'll tell you now, it's your answer.

08:19All I care about is Kojo, so you should go, because this really isn't helping.

08:31Sorry.

08:43I was trying to do something nice.

08:45I didn't want to upset him.

08:48Oh, you didn't.

08:50And so does he.

08:52It was a really lovely part.

08:55I hope he changed his mind.

08:56Mm-hmm.

08:58Oh, thanks.

09:01The dessert's a bit of fun, right?

09:03Yeah.

09:08Boy troubled, eh?

09:10Oh.

09:11Well, you should tell her what my mum told me.

09:14Men are like a tall glass of wee in the Sahara.

09:19You know, necessary, but hard to stomach.

09:22She was a wise woman, my mum.

09:23Mm.

09:24Yeah, wise and single.

09:26Mm.

09:27Oh, so what's this?

09:28Oh, it's, er...

09:29It's Nigel's script.

09:31Oh, Lexi was thinking of making it, but, um...

09:33Oh, no.

09:34Well, what, what, what's the problem?

09:38Well, between you and me, I think she's making a few nasty nervous.

09:43Do you act?

09:44Me?

09:46Well, I have been known to dabble.

09:50Yeah.

09:50You know what my old dad used to say?

10:04If you let the nasty things affect you, they'll start defining you.

10:09He gave good advice, my dad.

10:11Didn't live by it, mind you, but...

10:13They're right, though.

10:15Ain't they?

10:16You know the last person who should be defending me.

10:21I just...

10:23I just believed him.

10:24You know, everything he was saying, everything Drake was saying, it made sense.

10:29But I was wrong.

10:30Maybe if I'd realised that earlier and stood up to him, then, then none of this would have happened.

10:38No, when it really mattered, you did stand up to him.

10:43When he attacked me, you didn't hesitate.

10:45That's what's important.

10:47With all this madness going on, we'll be old news soon.

10:51It's just hanging there together, yeah?

10:54Yeah.

11:00Well, cavalry's on his way.

11:06Billy's got Phil's hot-shot solicitor on your dad's case.

11:10I just want to be by myself, Mum.

11:16Harry.

11:20I wanted to take the fall for you.

11:23You know, I'm the one that should be behind bars, but you wouldn't have it.

11:26I think I'd rather be locked up than see you like this.

11:38Did your dad ever tell you the stories about how I didn't want you to box when you were a kid?

11:44No, true.

11:46I hated it.

11:49You were too handsome.

11:51You still are.

11:52And I still, I can't, I can't stand to see you in pain.

12:02Look, you're off the gear, but you're still not well.

12:04And it's easier to get gear in prison than it is on the streets these days.

12:07We couldn't risk it.

12:11And that, okay?

12:14You deserve to die.

12:15But you, you deserve to be free and healthy.

12:22And the only way you are going to be there is at home with us.

12:27So you can be upset.

12:30But you mustn't feel guilty.

12:33Write about that or about your dad.

12:36Because it was his choice.

12:39And it was the right one.

12:40Listen to me.

12:45Your dad is going to plead self-defense.

12:50We've got Phil's solicitor.

12:53He's going to be home sooner than you know.

12:56I'm telling you.

13:07Mr. C.

13:08Mrs. C.

13:12It's me.

13:13I'm really sorry.

13:15I'm very sorry.

13:15I don't, I...

13:16Nigel, there you are.

13:28I'm looking all over for you.

13:29Now listen, I've got two words for you.

13:31Sex appeal.

13:33Now, Honey Mitchell is a beautiful woman.

13:36We can all agree on that, yeah?

13:38But as a sexy, sassy, comedic copper, I'm sorry.

13:42She ain't police officer number two material.

13:44I'm sorry, but...

13:45Yeah, well, so you should be.

13:47Because if I've read this right, you need somebody to hit the comedy highs and get the men rubbing on their thighs.

13:53Now, Honey is sweet.

13:55But Kim is cayenne, yeah?

13:58I bring the fun.

13:59I bring the fire.

14:00I bring the heat.

14:02You don't need gracious.

14:03You need flirtatious.

14:05You need vocatious.

14:06You need fox on your box.

14:08I'm not in charge of the casting list.

14:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.

14:11I know, I know, I know.

14:12But you have the final say.

14:15Do you know?

14:15This is your vision.

14:18And we both know that that vision is standing right in front of you.

14:23Imagine this.

14:23Look at this.

14:24Look at this.

14:24Kim Fox, police officer number two.

14:29Look, there is no film.

14:32It's just a shoddy script I wrote years ago that means nothing now.

14:36So you and Lexi can just forget about it.

14:39I know I will soon enough.

14:41Well, I think he's good.

14:43I mean, I only read the first half of it, but I am hooked.

14:46And I'm normally the hooker, not the hooky.

14:48Not that I'm a prostitute or anything.

14:49But listen, if you change your mind, I've got another two words for you, yeah?

14:54Cast Kim.

14:56Yeah?

14:57I'll see you later.

15:00Hey!

15:01Where you going?

15:13Hi there.

15:16Look, I'm sorry.

15:18All right?

15:18Right there.

15:19I know your heart's in the wrong place.

15:21Cojo's asleep.

15:24Phil's looking after him.

15:25We could go for a drink later.

15:27He's trying to end up on the same side.

15:31Now you must be head over heels, Dad.

15:34I mean, now that Teddy's gone, you've got a free run at her, right?

15:37Things we do for love, eh?

15:38I told you.

15:41My focus is Cojo.

15:42I don't care about Nicola or anyone else.

15:45I can't argue with that.

15:47I mean, you've basically got my bags packed through me, right?

15:50Do you know what?

15:51Maybe this family needs me to stick around and fight their corner.

15:54Because you're obviously not.

15:55You know, Monique, moving on is not my fault.

15:58It's yours.

15:59You're scared about going back.

16:04Because it's easier to hear about Xavier calling another man dead.

16:09But it's quite another thing to actually see it.

16:11I get that.

16:12But don't put it on me and don't make Cojo an excuse for you to do what's easier

16:16instead of what's right for you and your son.

16:20I've already booked my flight for tomorrow.

16:24Don't worry, Dad.

16:26The bag's already packed.

16:27Are you really going to make the same mistake again?

16:39Sorry.

16:40I've seen you with Tommy.

16:43Did he give you the poor me treatment yet?

16:45Oh, look, I will tell you what I told the boys.

16:47It is over now.

16:49Joel manipulated Tommy just as much as the rest of us.

16:52No, it's true.

16:55Tommy is nothing like Joel.

16:58Deep down, I know he's a good kid.

16:59A good kid who hid his mate after he nearly killed you.

17:02For hours.

17:03What?

17:05Let me guess.

17:07He made it out like he rung Ross straight away, yeah?

17:09He knew about the video of Avani 2.

17:13Does that sound like a good kid to you?

17:15He knew what Joel was.

17:18And he let him get away with it.

17:20Maybe Joel manipulated him.

17:23But don't let him manipulate you, too.

17:25Do you know what he's doing?

17:33Come on, Jess.

17:35Come on, over the...

17:36Hiya.

17:41Are you bearing up?

17:43It's not fair, but...

17:44It's not fair, is it?

17:46No one knows that more than me, Bill.

17:53Look, um...

17:56Is this for you?

17:59It's from your dad.

18:05Take it, he told you the story behind it then.

18:12I'll keep it safe.

18:14I know you will.

18:16He told me to go to Will's party.

18:26I don't even like parties.

18:28Maybe if I'd have stayed here, I could have done something.

18:33No, Bill.

18:35Come on.

18:37You're cleverer than that.

18:41You know, your dad, he always said you were the best of us.

18:45And he's right.

18:48If someone could do something for me, Bill.

18:53You'll help me through this, cos...

18:55I know you're scared.

18:57But I'm scared.

18:58I know you're scared.

18:59But I'm scared too.

19:00I know you're scared.

19:01But I'm scared too.

19:02But I've got a solicitor.

19:03Yes, you do.

19:04But from what I'm hearing, it'd have been better off without him.

19:08The police have spoken to the CPS and...

19:10it's not good news, I'm afraid.

19:11It's not good news, I'm afraid.

19:12It's not good news, I'm afraid.

19:13It's not good news, I'm afraid.

19:14It's not good news, I'm afraid.

19:16Um, Richie, right?

19:19Don't tell me.

19:21Phil's been nipped, too.

19:22Not today, no, it's um...

19:23it's you I've come to see.

19:26But I've got a solicitor.

19:28yes you do but from what I'm hearing he'd have been better off without him the

19:34police have spoken to the CPS and it's not good news I'm afraid

19:41you all right Kim's right you know it's not bad that's a good thing in it I don't remember

20:00writing it what happens I mean I know I wrote it I just don't know how

20:11I never did like writing you remember our English teacher Mrs. Barnaby nasty old cow always used to

20:28bang on and on about Shakespeare but I can take my eyes off her trotters put me off for life

20:34I just keep thinking back then I must have thought someone who'd see it

20:41you know see it and and you know maybe make it hope Phil keeps your fire burning doesn't it

20:51I could spend the rest of my life now trying

20:58and I couldn't write a single page of this now because I'm

21:07I'm not the same person who wrote this anymore

21:14there's no fire there's no hope I'm just nothing I mean I was never a fighter or a lover but I had this

21:28I was sharp

21:30I'm not responsible for my own actions

21:44I don't remember writing it Phil

21:49you don't you don't have to write it again do you because you already did that that is yours

21:56yeah no one can take that away from you I mean don't matter if you can't remember writing it because

22:01you did you wrote it as soon as I already had Kim Colomy you know like I'm Steven Spielberg's

22:08right hand man or something about it but don't see it to me like you're nothing

22:14you know you talk about wanting to take responsibility for your actions well

22:18maybe that's the way to start you know maybe it's a way of keeping that fire inside burning
