00:00I
00:30Kojo told me Harry was in trouble, so I went round and Harry was gone.
00:38Oki was there with a knife in his hands, waiting for Harry to come back, or even Kojo.
00:49Stupidly I confronted him and he attacked me and all I could do was fight him off, you know?
00:55We were pushing and shoving and we fell on the floor and then...
00:59That's it.
01:04He tried to kill me.
01:08It was an accident.
01:10The deceased was linked to your son and a raid at the crime scene for drug offences occurred last week.
01:16You understand that raises questions for us?
01:20Look, I'm sorry. I really am.
01:25If you carry a blade, you're more than likely going to get stabbed. That's what you lot say, right?
01:29This is self-defence.
01:36You know, I know better than anyone that it ain't easy being interviewed by the police.
01:40You know, I'm proud of you both. You told the truth and that's all we can do.
01:47And your dad, he was fighting for his life.
01:52That scumbag was after your brother and I know, it don't seem it right now, but we're lucky.
02:01Lucky? Dad's going to prison. He killed someone.
02:05Barney.
02:06No, Mum. I can't deal with this. I can't.
02:10Oh, love.
02:12Come on.
02:17It'll be okay. We all will.
02:20You okay?
02:22Have you taken your methadone?
02:25Look, I know you're struggling, darling, okay?
02:27But your dad did this for you, so you can't be spiralling right now.
02:31You've just got to stick to the plan, okay?
02:33Stay on the straight and narrow and everything will be okay. I promise.
02:36I'm not okay, Mum.
02:37And this will never be okay.
02:40Nick?
03:01Any news?
03:04Didn't need to go to the pictures yesterday.
03:06Could have just stuck around here and watched that horror show.
03:09You'll have to turn your stomach.
03:11That's why we should count our blessings.
03:14Eh?
03:15You're home and we're all safe and happy.
03:19Yeah.
03:21Right, Nod.
03:22We've got a visa.
03:25I can officially confirm that Santa Claus is in production.
03:30I finished it last night.
03:31Loved it.
03:32So I woke up this morning and thought, we've got an insect day.
03:34Why not make it?
03:35All we need is this and a savage young director.
03:39I've done a list of some potential local cast members.
03:44I'm going to get some mates involved.
03:46Hair and make-up, stuff like that.
03:47It's all go.
03:48This is exactly what we need right now.
03:51Hey.
03:52I actually produced my own play quite a few years ago.
03:55If you're looking for a part, you're going to have to audition.
03:58Sorry.
03:58But, before we start, I did have a few ideas.
04:04What about making it about two sisters instead?
04:06Now's not a good time.
04:09Okay, well, I just thought that...
04:12Well, you thought wrong, okay?
04:13I don't believe this.
04:22I mean, he's just defending himself, isn't he?
04:24He'll be home before we know it.
04:26With any luck, that solicitor will pull his finger out.
04:28Yeah, well, when you've got a family, you don't need luck.
04:31You don't need Phil.
04:36Nicola, if you need to talk...
04:38No, don't be...
04:38It's fine.
04:40Everything's going to be fine, all right?
04:41Just, please, be quiet.
04:45Right.
04:46He's not answering, so we need to go and find him.
04:50Well, come on, let's go.
04:58Oki's dead?
04:59Yeah, after you left,
05:01Harry got away and...
05:03Teddy ran up there.
05:04Oki was out for blood.
05:05He came off worse.
05:08I'm sorry this has happened, okay, but...
05:11It's over now.
05:13It's done, okay?
05:15That's right.
05:17You're safe now, yeah?
05:19I sent Teddy there.
05:21This is my fault.
05:22No, no, no, no, no.
05:23None of this is your fault.
05:25None of it.
05:27It's all finished now, okay?
05:29You're safe.
05:34Go, Joe.
05:35This way.
05:36It's coming now.
05:42Where he knows?
05:43Yeah.
05:46Please still need to talk to Koja.
05:49I haven't slept.
05:51I was worried he was going to wander off again.
05:52I should have kept an eye on him.
05:54I should have kept...
05:54If you want to point fingers, point him across the road, Dad.
05:59You had a chance to think about that job in Dubai, yeah?
06:03We're having no time.
06:03Well, maybe you should make some time.
06:09You should focus on your family.
06:12And let me focus on Koja.
06:13Oh, first day back, the dishwasher's on the blink.
06:28Between that and sorting out Ben's new prison canteen money this morning,
06:31I think I needn't have a holiday.
06:33Still, at least he's happier in this new place,
06:36so it's more comforts, eh?
06:37Look, just so you know,
06:43I'm not happy about Ross being at ours either, OK?
06:46But him and Harvey...
06:46It's all right, Aunty Caff, I know.
06:52About enough, we've got to see you in school every day.
06:54Why'd you actually let him in here?
06:56What, to spit on his hand roll?
06:57Uh, boys, leave it out, yeah?
06:58Leave it out?
06:59You should throw him out.
07:00You know what, I'll just go.
07:01Yeah, do us all a favour, bruv.
07:02Move.
07:03Come on.
07:03You're guilty now, are you?
07:05Oi!
07:06It's a bit late for a viney, innit?
07:07That's enough.
07:09Joel is banged up and Tommy done the right thing.
07:11End of.
07:12So leave him alone, let him finish his lunch.
07:17Show's over, all right?
07:23Can I sit down, Tommy?
07:25Bring over a hot chocolate.
07:26My treat.
07:33Ain't I got enough on me plate.
07:36I know, I know that, but...
07:38I wouldn't ask if it weren't family, you know?
07:41And this salivary's got these things.
07:43How bad, is he?
07:45Look, Teddy's my brother, Phil.
07:47He needs help.
07:49I know that it was self-defence,
07:51but you know how these things can go on.
07:53All right, well, I saw Richie Monday.
07:56She's got a lot on, but...
07:57I'll give her a call, see what I can do.
07:59Thanks, mate, thanks.
08:00See?
08:03See?
08:04We're all in this together, haven't we?
08:10What's she doing now?
08:13Yeah, let's get this up to Kojo.
08:14Do you know why Dad's been beating himself up
08:16about keeping Kojo safe?
08:17And here you are,
08:19one of the few people
08:19that actually could have kept him safe.
08:21Junior, don't.
08:21Kojo ain't the only victim here.
08:23He's the only one that's going to suffer, though, isn't he?
08:25Do you know what?
08:26I owe Teddy Watts
08:27because he's just as much to blame
08:29as you and your poxy son.
08:30I said enough!
08:31It's your answer.
08:32All I care about is Kojo.
08:34So you should go
08:35because this really isn't helping.
08:44Sorry.
08:45I was trying to do something nice.
08:59I didn't want to upset him.
09:01Oh, no, you didn't.
09:03And so does he.
09:05It was a really lovely part.
09:07I hope he changed his mind.
09:10Mm-hmm.
09:11Oh, thanks.
09:14The dessert's a bit of fun, right?
09:17Yeah.
09:22Boy troubled, eh?
09:23Oh.
09:24Well, you should tell her
09:26what my mum told me.
09:28Men are like a tall glass of wee
09:31in the Sahara.
09:32You know, necessary,
09:34but hard to stomach.
09:36She was a wise woman, my mum.
09:37Mm.
09:37Yeah, wise and single.
09:40Mm.
09:40Oh, so what's this?
09:41Oh, it's, er...
09:43It's Nigel's script.
09:45Oh, Lexi was thinking of making it,
09:46but, um...
09:47Oh, no.
09:50But...
09:50Well, what?
09:51What's the problem?
09:52Well, between you and me,
09:54I think she's making a few
09:56casting errors.
09:57Do you act?
09:58Me?
10:00Well, I have been known to dabble.
10:03Yeah.
10:04Yeah.
10:07Mm.
10:15You know what my old dad used to say?
10:17If you let the nasty things affect you,
10:20they'll start defining you.
10:23He gave good advice, my dad.
10:25Didn't live by it, mind you, but...
10:27They're right, though.
10:29Ain't they?
10:30You're the last person
10:31who should be defending me.
10:35I just...
10:36I just believed him.
10:38You know, everything he was saying,
10:40everything Jake was saying,
10:41it made sense.
10:43But I was wrong.
10:46Maybe if I'd realised that earlier
10:48and stood up to him,
10:50then none of this would have happened.
10:52No, when it really mattered,
10:54you did stand up to him.
10:56When he attacked me,
10:57you didn't hesitate.
10:59That's what's important.
11:01With all this madness going on,
11:02we'll be old news soon.
11:05We're just hanging there together, yeah?
11:06Yeah.
11:15Well, cavalry's on its way.
11:20Billy's got Phil's hot-shot solicitor
11:21on your dad's case.
11:23I just want to be by myself, Mum.
11:29Harry.
11:30Harry.
11:33I wanted to take the fall for you.
11:37You know, I'm the one
11:38that should be behind bars,
11:39but you wouldn't have it.
11:43I think I'd rather be locked up
11:45than see you like this.
11:51Did your dad ever tell you
11:52the stories about how I
11:53didn't want you to box
11:55when you were a kid?
11:57No, true.
12:00I hated it.
12:02You were too handsome.
12:03You still are.
12:07And I still, I can't...
12:09I can't stand to see you in pain.
12:15Look, you're off the gear,
12:16but you're still not well.
12:18And it's easier to get gear in prison
12:19than it is on the streets these days.
12:21We couldn't risk it.
12:25And that, okay.
12:26You deserve to die.
12:30But you...
12:32You deserve to be free
12:34and healthy
12:35and the only way
12:37you are going to be there
12:38is at home
12:39with us.
12:41So you can be upset,
12:43but you mustn't feel guilty
12:46right about that
12:47or about your dad.
12:48because it was his choice.
12:53And it was the right one.
12:56Listen to me.
12:59Your dad
13:00is going to plead self-defense.
13:03We've got Phil's solicitor.
13:06He's going to be home
13:07sooner than you know.
13:10I'm telling you.
13:11Mrs. C.
13:24Mrs. C.
13:25It's me.
13:27I'm really sorry.
13:28I'm very sorry.
13:29I don't...
13:30Nigel, there you are.
13:41I'm looking all over for you.
13:42Now, listen.
13:43I've got two words for you.
13:45Sex appeal.
13:47Now, Honey Mitchell
13:48is a beautiful woman.
13:49We can all agree on that.
13:51Yeah?
13:51But as a sexy,
13:52sassy, comedic copper,
13:54I'm sorry.
13:55She ain't police officer
13:56number two material.
13:58I'm sorry, but...
13:59Yeah, well, so you should be.
14:00Because if I've read this right,
14:02you need somebody
14:03to hit the comedy highs
14:04and get the men
14:05rubbing on their thighs.
14:07Now, Honey is sweet,
14:09but Kim is KO.
14:11Yeah?
14:12I bring the fun.
14:13I bring the fire.
14:14I bring the heat.
14:15You don't need gracious.
14:17You need flirtatious.
14:18You need vocatious.
14:20You need Fox on your box.
14:22I'm not in charge
14:23of the car scene, Liz.
14:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:25I know, I know, I know.
14:26But you have the final say.
14:28Do you know?
14:29This is your vision.
14:31And we both know
14:32that that vision
14:34is standing
14:35right in front of you.
14:36Imagine this.
14:37Look at this.
14:37Look at this.
14:39Kim Fox,
14:40police officer number two.
14:43Look,
14:44there is no film.
14:46It's just a...
14:46a shoddy script
14:48I wrote years ago
14:49that means nothing now,
14:50so you and Lexi
14:52can just forget about it.
14:53I know I will soon enough.
14:55Well, I think it's good.
14:57I mean,
14:57I only read the first half of it,
14:58but I am hooked,
14:59and I'm normally the hooker,
15:00not the hooky.
15:02Not that I'm a prostitute
15:03or anything,
15:03but listen,
15:04if you change your mind,
15:05I've got another two words
15:07for you, yeah?
15:08Cast Kim.
15:09Yeah?
15:10I'll see you later.
15:13Hey!
15:15Where you going?
15:27Hey.
15:30Look,
15:31I'm sorry,
15:31all right?
15:32I know your heart's
15:34in all the place.
15:37Cojo's asleep.
15:38Feels like an afternoon.
15:39We could go for a drink later.
15:41Just try and end up
15:42on the same side.
15:45Now you must be
15:46head over heels, Dad.
15:48I mean,
15:48now that Teddy's gone,
15:49you've got a free run at her,
15:49right?
15:51Things we do for love, eh?
15:52I told you.
15:54My focus is Cojo.
15:56I don't care about Nicola
15:57or anyone else.
15:58I can't argue with that.
16:00I mean,
16:00you've basically got
16:01my bags packed for me,
16:02right?
16:03But do you know what?
16:04Maybe this family needs me
16:06to stick around
16:06and fight their corner.
16:07Sure, obviously not.
16:09You know,
16:09Monique,
16:10moving on
16:10is not my fault.
16:12It's yours.
16:15You're scared
16:16about going back
16:17because it's easier
16:19to hear about
16:20Xavier calling
16:21another man dead.
16:22But it's quite another thing
16:23to actually see it.
16:24I get that.
16:26But don't put it on me
16:26and don't make Cojo
16:27an excuse for you
16:28to do what's easier
16:29instead of what's right
16:31for you and your son.
16:31I've already booked
16:34my flight for tomorrow.
16:38Don't worry, Dad.
16:39Bags already packed.
16:40Are you really
16:51going to make
16:51the same mistake again?
16:53Sorry?
16:54I've seen you
16:54with Tommy.
16:57Did he give you
16:57the poor me treatment,
16:58yeah?
16:58Oh, look,
16:59I will tell you
17:00what I told the boys.
17:01It is over now.
17:03Joel manipulated Tommy
17:04just as much
17:04as the rest of us.
17:06No, it's true.
17:08Tommy is nothing
17:09like Joel.
17:11Deep down,
17:12I know he's a good kid.
17:13A good kid
17:13who hid his mate
17:14after he nearly killed you
17:16for hours.
17:17What?
17:19Let me guess.
17:20He made it out
17:21like he rung Ross
17:21straight away, yeah?
17:23He knew about
17:24the video of Avani 2.
17:26Does that sound
17:27like a good kid to you?
17:29He knew
17:30what Joel was
17:31and he let him
17:33get away with it.
17:34Maybe Joel
17:35and Nick played him
17:35but don't let him
17:38and Nick play you too.
17:49Hiya.
17:54What are you bearing up?
17:57It's not fair,
17:58but
17:58it's not fair,
17:59is it?
18:01No-one knows
18:01that more than me,
18:02Ben.
18:05Look,
18:07um,
18:08is this for you?
18:13It's from your dad.
18:19Take it,
18:19he told you
18:19the story behind it then.
18:26I'll keep it safe.
18:27he told me to go to Will's party.
18:39I don't even like parties.
18:42Maybe if I'd have stayed here,
18:44I could have done something.
18:47No,
18:47come on.
18:49you're cleverer than that.
18:54You know,
18:55your dad,
18:56he always said
18:57you were the best of us.
19:00And he's right.
19:03You seem to do something
19:04for me,
19:05Bob.
19:07Can you help me through this
19:08because
19:09I know you're scared,
19:12but I'm scared.
19:30Richie,
19:31right?
19:33Don't tell me
19:33Phil's been nicked too.
19:36Not today,
19:36I know.
19:37It's,
19:37um,
19:38it's you I've come to see.
19:41But I've got a solicitor.
19:42Yes,
19:43you do,
19:43but from what I'm hearing,
19:44it'd have been better off
19:45without him.
19:47The police
19:48have spoken to the CPS
19:49and
19:50it's not good news,
19:52I'm afraid.
20:02You all right?
20:03Hmm.
20:06Kim's right,
20:07you know.
20:09It's not bad.
20:11That's a good thing,
20:12isn't it?
20:13I don't remember
20:14right in it.
20:17What happens?
20:19I mean,
20:19I know,
20:19I wrote it.
20:21I just
20:22don't know how.
20:25I never did like writing.
20:28Yeah,
20:29remember our old English teacher,
20:30Mrs Barnaby?
20:32Nasty old cow.
20:33Always used to wear sandals,
20:35you know,
20:35at her feet.
20:37Used to turn my stomach.
20:39She liked me?
20:40Yeah,
20:41never liked me.
20:42It's a bang on and on
20:43about Shakespeare,
20:44but I couldn't take my eyes
20:45off her troz.
20:47Put me off for life.
20:48I just keep thinking,
20:51back then,
20:51I must have thought
20:53someone who'd see it,
20:55you know,
20:55see it and,
20:56and,
20:57well,
20:57you know,
20:58maybe make it.
21:01Hope,
21:02Phil.
21:03Keeps your fire burning,
21:04doesn't it?
21:05I could spend the rest of my life
21:10now trying,
21:14and I couldn't write a single page of this now.
21:20Because I'm,
21:21I'm not the same person
21:26who wrote this anymore.
21:30There's no fire.
21:32There's no hope.
21:33I'm just
21:34nothing.
21:37I mean,
21:38I was never a fighter
21:39or a lover,
21:41but I had this.
21:42I was sharp.
21:43now.
21:49What am I?
21:53Nothing.
21:55Not responsible for my own actions.
22:00I don't remember writing it, Phil.
22:05You don't,
22:06you don't have to write it again, do you?
22:08Because you already did that.
22:09That is yours.
22:11Yeah,
22:11no one can take that away from you.
22:13It don't matter if you can't remember writing it,
22:15because you did,
22:15you wrote it.
22:17As soon as I already had Kim
22:18collar me,
22:19you know,
22:19like,
22:20Steven Spielberg's right-hand man
22:22or something about it,
22:23but
22:23don't see it to me like you're nothing.
22:28You talk about
22:29wanting to take responsibility
22:31for your actions,
22:32well,
22:32maybe that's the way to start,
22:33you know?
22:35Maybe it's a way of keeping that
22:36fire inside,
22:39burning.
22:39It was only a few.
22:50He did the right thing in the end.
22:51It took a lot for him to do that,
22:53you know.
22:53Look,
22:53I am a good person,
22:55okay?
22:56And I thought that you were a good kid
22:58with a good heart
22:59who got manipulated too.
23:00Was I wrong?
23:01Am I an idiot
23:02all over again?
23:03You stood up for me
23:04and I was just embarrassed.
23:06If I could take it all back,
23:08I would.
23:09I was scared
23:10and I wanted to protect him,
23:12but
23:12after I found out
23:13what he had done,
23:14I had to call his dad
23:15and again,
23:16Vicky,
23:17I am so,
23:18so sorry.
23:19Joel lied to you both.
23:23He manipulated you both
23:25and now you both realise
23:26what he is
23:26and now he's gone
23:27for good,
23:28okay?
23:29Okay?
23:30I'm sorry,
23:39Amy's got me all...
23:41Vicky,
23:41if you need someone
23:42to talk to...
23:43Oh,
23:44Zoe would love that.
23:46I'm a cat-stealing stalker,
23:47ain't I?
23:48You might be a lot of things,
23:49but I don't think you that.
23:51Even if Zoe does think you.
23:55I know where you feel,
23:56all right?
23:57You go from
23:58mother hen
23:59to Christmas turkey.
24:01I know,
24:01trust me.
24:02You feel hurt,
24:04ashamed,
24:05angry,
24:06but you're not on your own.
24:08If you need to talk,
24:09I'm here,
24:10okay?
24:14I'm fine.
24:16Joel ain't gonna define me.
24:18I won't let him.
24:19I actually wrote and directed
24:47my own play in the 90s.
24:50Yes.
24:51It was about Queen Victoria.
24:54I could dig it out for you,
24:55if you like.
24:56Nah,
24:56I'm not really into period drama.
24:58Right,
24:58here you go.
25:00What's this?
25:01This
25:01is a start.
