00:00MUSIC
00:26Say that again?
00:27How have we got money to keep quiet about what really happened to Patrick?
00:34Tell him he's wrong!
00:37Tell him!
00:42How could you?
00:44And how did you find out?
00:46That's not important.
00:49Dad, say something.
00:52I swear, it weren't planned.
00:56I saw an opportunity and I took it.
00:59It was wrong.
01:00But we really needed the money.
01:02Oh, so you thought you'd just profit off of Patrick's suffering?
01:05Oh, this is sick.
01:06I wasn't the one that hurt him.
01:08Patrick, you're like family to me.
01:11But you robbed my engagement ring.
01:15That's true, innit?
01:17It was in a parcel.
01:18I knew it would be insured.
01:19I just wanted to give you the best.
01:20But it wasn't yours to give.
01:22And look where your line motor's got you now.
01:24This doesn't change how I feel.
01:26This changes everything!
01:29I think you should go now.
01:32You don't understand.
01:33You are a compulsive liar, Howie.
01:36Look how you treated my dad.
01:38You were best man at his wedding.
01:41You stood by my side.
01:44Eh?
01:45And how long did you know this?
01:51I mean, shouldn't you have told Kim on her own instead of making a big revelation?
01:58She had a right to know.
02:02Yeah.
02:04That's important, isn't it, Anthony?
02:07The truth.
02:09If any of us was hiding something...
02:11Yolandi's right.
02:12You should go.
02:17Everyone's had enough hurt.
02:23She...
02:28Mum!
02:29No!
02:30What are you doing?
02:31Mum!
02:32No!
02:33I'm trying to be a good mum to you!
02:34Mum!
02:35No!
02:36Mum!
02:37No!
02:38Oh!
02:39No!
02:40Oh!
02:41Oh!
02:42Oh!
02:43Oh!
02:44Oh!
02:45Oh!
02:46Oh!
02:47Oh!
02:48Oh!
02:49Oh!
02:50Oh!
02:51Oh!
02:52Oh!
02:53Oh!
02:54Oh!
02:55Oh!
02:56Oh!
02:57Oh!
02:58Right!
02:59So, you have got Ian and Elaine as husband and wife.
03:05Yeah?
03:06Why not?
03:07No!
03:08No, no, no.
03:09I think that's perfect.
03:10They're made for each other, aren't they?
03:12But don't go moving me about, will you?
03:14Because I'm looking forward to my starring role as Santa Claus.
03:19He, he, he, he, he, he, he.
03:20He, he, he, he, he, he.
03:21He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he!
03:23You still haven't got an angry old man.
03:25Hmm.
03:26Phil?
03:27That is a genius idea.
03:29Good luck with that.
03:32Maybe you could ask him, Pops.
03:33Eh? Me? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
03:35Lex, listen, you've got more chance if you ask him yourself.
03:39But I couldn't handle it if you said no.
03:41Please? Please?
03:45All right, all right. I'll ask him.
03:49Don't get your hopes up.
03:51I... I just can't believe it that I got him so wrong.
03:58I feel terrible.
04:00I mean, I brought him into your home.
04:02Don't blame yourself.
04:04He pulled the wool over all of our eyes.
04:06Well, at least we know the truth, no.
04:09Exactly.
04:10What kind of man he really is.
04:14Are you for real right now?
04:17Er, Kim?
04:18No, no, Dee.
04:19There's things you don't, or none of you know about this guy.
04:23Yeah?
04:23Now is not the time.
04:25Oh, really?
04:26Because you've had it in for Howie ever since you got here.
04:29So why shall I cover for you?
04:31Okay, so his wife, Sophie, has a restraining order against him.
04:36That's the real reason why you ain't seen the kiss, Pops.
04:39A restraining order?
04:40What did you do?
04:41Is... is that right?
04:43I asked you a question!
04:49Pops, come on, please, please.
04:52I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to.
04:54Kim, Kim, Kim.
04:55It's okay.
04:55It's okay, come on.
04:56Leave him with your handy.
04:58Pops!
04:58We'll go to the salon and we'll have a drink.
04:59Come on.
05:00I didn't mean to.
05:01It's fine, darling.
05:02Come on.
05:02Come on.
05:03Dad, it's not how it sounds.
05:07Just leave.
05:09Leave!
05:12Get up!
05:13Leave!
05:16She...
05:16I mean, I'm not just going to stand by and watch my son have a fix.
05:25Me and your dad are doing everything to give you a second chance.
05:28Meet us halfway, Harry.
05:29Mum.
05:33Hey.
05:34Sorry, I should have texted.
05:35No, it's fine.
05:37Kojo wanted to see Harry.
05:40All right, mate.
05:41Are you all right?
05:43You look tired.
05:45Yeah, I'm good.
05:48Um...
05:48Should we give him some space, eh?
05:51Maybe grab something to eat?
05:53Fine.
05:53Yeah, keep you company.
05:54You staying?
06:05Okay, Kojo.
06:07Where did you get this?
06:09I bumped into Oki's sister.
06:12It's today.
06:13Yeah, you ain't got me thinking about that right now, mate.
06:16My therapist said it's okay to sit with difficult feelings.
06:21Will you come with me?
06:23I said to Dad that we'd stay here.
06:27I think I need to do this.
06:30You should come too.
06:31There you go.
06:36Wow.
06:38Takes me ages to get him to sleep.
06:40You're a natural.
06:41Oh, sorry.
06:41I didn't mean to put my foot in it.
06:46No, you didn't.
06:48It's just...
06:49Actually, I've got a kid.
06:52I just don't know where he is.
06:56Well, that must be really hard, you know, not being in touch with him.
06:59Yeah.
07:00Yeah.
07:07Shh.
07:07You keep it down.
07:09Jimmy's asleep.
07:10You told Anthony about the money.
07:14No, he's gone and told everyone.
07:16Me and Kim, I don't even know what that means for us.
07:18I didn't say anything.
07:19You've ruined my life.
07:21You and Anthony.
07:21Don't go blaming Anthony.
07:23Sounds like he just told Kim the facts.
07:25Oh, yeah.
07:25Because Anthony can never put a foot wrong, can he?
07:27What's that supposed to mean?
07:29Did he tell you about the restraining order?
07:31What?
07:31The one his wife took out.
07:32She got what?
07:34Wait, OK, look.
07:35Whatever she's got, whoever she is, she never got it from me.
07:37You told Anthony, didn't you?
07:39About the money.
07:40Oh, yeah, that was me.
07:41No, no, no, just leave it.
07:45The truth was always going to come out, Howie.
07:48It's Kim that you should be talking to.
07:54Was that true?
07:56About Anthony?
07:57Yeah.
07:58His ex-wife took it out.
08:03You're having a laugh, aren't you?
08:05Oh, come on, Phil.
08:06Listen, I've been handing out flyers the night before that.
08:09I was operating the camera.
08:10I've done my bit.
08:12It's for Lexi.
08:13It'll break her heart if I have to tell her that you said no.
08:16Well, you play the part, then.
08:17I can't, can I?
08:18I'm already in it.
08:20How do you know what frickin' it is?
08:22Oh, I'll let her know that you can't do it.
08:27And Nigel, I just said that you were perfect for the part, but...
08:35Nan, what is this?
08:42It's Freddie's stuff.
08:43Yeah, I know, but why are you getting rid of it?
08:45Because he's gone, Lily, and, um, you've got no room for being sentimental, because, well, there's no room.
08:52Nan, he's not dead.
08:53No, he's not dead.
08:55He's not coming back, is he?
08:56Nan, stop!
09:01I'm sorry I went to Dr Truman.
09:05But this, Nan.
09:07You, this is not normal.
09:09You need help.
09:10Oh, stop fussing me.
09:11Nan, Nan, you're not well.
09:16And I, I can't cope.
09:20I can't look after you and everyone else.
09:24Nan, please.
09:25Not on my own.
09:27I need you.
09:30I need you to be well.
09:33So, please go to the doctor.
09:38For me.
09:39Okay.
09:45Marco.
09:57Dad?
09:59How could you do that to Patrick?
10:04I had my reasons.
10:06What?
10:07What, you needed cash?
10:09Was that to pay for my festival?
10:13Weren't your fault?
10:15I don't get it, though.
10:16I don't get it.
10:17When you saw how much it messed with Patrick's head, how could you just keep quiet?
10:22I'm sorry.
10:26I made a massive mistake.
10:27Now, I've lost everything.
10:31I deserve it.
10:35I deserve it.
10:39You don't.
10:40You can fix this.
10:43Look, can I?
10:44Kim's already told you.
10:46Look, if you love Kim, you'd be over there right now begging for her to take you back.
10:49Never let me in.
10:51Anthony's probably guarding the front door.
10:53No, no, no.
10:53He's not even there.
10:55Chell said it all kicked off again.
10:57Kim told Patrick something about Anthony's ex.
10:58Patrick's all right?
11:03Go and find out and talk to Kim.
11:06I know you can fix this, Dad.
11:09Listen, your mum ain't gonna like me being here, Barney.
11:12Oh, she's out.
11:13Okay.
11:15Is that yours?
11:16Yeah, I just wondered if you've read them.
11:20You've read all these?
11:21Oh, yeah, I can read, Barney, mate.
11:25I've got most of them already.
11:27What do you think?
11:28Well, I mean, that Gandalf's a bit of a G, the way he takes on Darth Vader.
11:32What?
11:32That big stick tells him to turn back.
11:34I mean, it's like Jon Snow in The Hobbits.
11:39Oh, mate, am I not telling it right?
11:41Have you really read any of them?
11:42Bits, but my memory's terrible.
11:44Oh, well, you are getting on a bit.
11:46Way less of that, Barney.
11:47Come on, sit down.
11:49I'm gonna school you on Mordor.
11:50Bye, mate.
11:55I told you already, Kim is not here.
11:59And Patrick...
12:01He's having a lie-down.
12:02He doesn't need to be disturbed.
12:06Yolandi...
12:06Why did you do it away?
12:12Why you throw it away for 30 pieces of silver?
12:15I was desperate.
12:16Yes.
12:16Do you know that there were times after Patrick was assaulted that I thought I would never
12:22get him back?
12:22It wasn't me to hurt him.
12:24You didn't hurt him.
12:26The man that he took for another son betrayed him.
12:29Oy.
12:30That is worse than any physical wound.
12:33Can you just tell Kim?
12:42Just say I'll come round.
12:43Oh, this was a bad idea.
12:57No, no, yeah.
12:58Maybe Harry's right.
12:59We're here now.
13:00I think I'll come in.
13:10He came.
13:12Why don't you all come inside?
13:14It's not much, but there's a few sandwiches.
13:16No, no, no.
13:17It's all right.
13:17It's just family, innit?
13:18We don't even know anyone in there.
13:20Fair enough.
13:21It's a bit loud in there anyway.
13:26Why don't we go somewhere quiet we can talk?
13:29About Oki?
13:30I like that.
13:42Thanks for bringing Kojo round.
13:45It'll mean a lot to Harry.
13:47Yeah, yeah.
13:47It was his therapist's ideas.
13:52Look, I'm...
13:53I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Kojo being involved in all the drug stuff.
13:59I thought Harry could handle it.
14:01Keep him safe.
14:03Yeah, well...
14:04We all made mistakes, didn't we?
14:07I said things I really shouldn't have said, so...
14:09I'm sorry, too.
14:14You OK?
14:17Yeah.
14:18Yeah, I just...
14:19I ate that bit quick.
14:20Erm...
14:21I've got some shopping to do whilst there with Harry, but, er...
14:24This has been really nice.
14:28Oh, Nicola!
14:31Have you told him about it?
14:32No!
14:33I've got to get out of there before I throw up everywhere.
14:38Do you think Patrick's all right?
14:40He's in shock.
14:41He needs some time to process things, you know?
14:50We all do.
14:52Thanks.
14:56Have I got a neon sign on my forehead that spells mug?
15:00Because I can't understand why I keep getting these kind of men.
15:02It's not you.
15:03No, I know it's not me.
15:05I know that.
15:06Well, look at me.
15:07I'm fabulous.
15:08But, Howie?
15:10I didn't have that on the bingo card for 2025, mate.
15:14Criminal mastermind.
15:15Who'd have thought it?
15:16I don't think he had that much going on upstairs.
15:20Do you?
15:21Well, he's not...
15:23The sharpest tool in the box now, is he?
15:26He's not stupid.
15:28OK, he may not have big muscles and wads of cash,
15:31but he's got a good heart.
15:33Oh, yeah, looks like it from what he's done to Patrick.
15:36Oh, and you've never made mistakes, no?
15:37But...
15:38Kim, it's not the first time he's lied to you, is it?
15:43No.
15:43No, but he's not all bad.
15:47He's a great dad, and he's kind.
15:51And he's my little teddy bear.
15:54Well, by the sounds of it, you haven't quite written him off yet.
16:01Because I love him.
16:03He's not perfect, but he's mine.
16:06He's the other half of me.
16:10I'm not going to do...
16:11Whatever's best for you, Pearl and Micah.
16:16That's all you can do.
16:18What about Pops and Andy?
16:21Him sitting there, knowing what he's done to them.
16:24They will support you.
16:26We all will.
16:27So, are you all customers of my brother?
16:33No.
16:34He was more of a mate.
16:36Right.
16:38But you've got some stories about him, then.
16:40Why don't you tell us about him?
16:49He was good with me.
16:51My dad didn't stick around, and my mum was useless, but...
16:56He was always there.
16:58It sounds like you had it tough.
17:00I guess.
17:01He looked after us, brought in money.
17:03He was just a kid.
17:08Not many ways to make money apart from Will.
17:12You know.
17:14I tried to get him out of it when I was older, but...
17:18It was like he always had to be the big man.
17:20He couldn't accept help.
17:21He was well good at art and music when he was at school.
17:30I used to hope that one day he'd get a chance to do something different.
17:33Something better.
17:36Deep down, I always knew that call was coming to say that he...
17:39Sorry, I've got to go.
17:40Hurry.
17:40I'm not here for a fight.
17:53I could use a drink as much as you.
17:56Just we're both outcasts now.
17:59You and me, we are not in the same boat.
18:02Good job.
18:03So far, you're overboard.
18:06You're not returned that, then?
18:08I'm gonna.
18:09It was a mistake.
18:12I hope Penny sees it that way, because if she tells her...
18:15Unlike you, Anthony.
18:17I own my mistakes.
18:19That's why you're here.
18:21Drowning your sorrows.
18:24Patrick's gonna see you for what you are one day.
18:27They all will.
18:28What do you know?
18:32I'm a doctor.
18:34I'm one of the family.
18:37Trusted.
18:39You've lost that.
18:42No.
18:44Ain't done fighting for my family yet.
18:52Go on, sling your hook!
18:53Go on!
18:54Sling your hook!
18:55How was that?
19:02Absolutely terrifying.
19:04In a good way.
19:06Right, so we, uh...
19:08We carrying on, then?
19:10Um, yeah, I'll just see where your next speech is, Lexie.
19:15Listen, um, Phil.
19:18Thanks for doing this.
19:19Sure, mate, it's for Nigel and Lex, isn't it?
19:23For them.
19:23Yeah.
19:26Um, it appears that's your only line.
19:31My only line?
19:34Oh, it's fuss.
19:36That's my only line.
19:38Well, let him do it.
19:38Let Billy do it.
19:40Pops is the lead.
19:40He's got enough to do.
19:41Ah.
19:42Lead.
19:43The lead.
19:45Right, fine.
19:45Well, I'm done here now.
19:47Listen, um, why don't we get a takeaway?
19:50It's on you, is it?
19:51Well, no, I'm a bit short.
19:52So it's on me, then, yeah?
19:55Anything else you want from me?
19:57Like, uh...
19:57A kidney, or something?
19:58I knew it.
20:05Perfect, angry old man.
20:08Genius casting.
20:13Who's Pops?
20:14She's through there.
20:18Pops, I am so, so sorry.
20:21I shouldn't have told you about anything like that.
20:24Uh, you were hurt, Tim.
20:26I understand.
20:27It's no excuse.
20:29Yeah.
20:31Um, so have you spoken to him about it?
20:33Yeah.
20:34I said I would meet up with him.
20:38I'm really sorry about Hobie.
20:41You deserve a perfect engagement party.
20:45What's the use of an engagement party without a wedding?
20:47Listen, I'm on.
20:48Whatever happens, we're always here for you.
20:53Thanks.
20:54Got it.
20:55Thanks, Pops.
20:57Love you.
20:59Love you, too.
21:02See you later, Patrick.
21:03See you.
21:04See you.
21:11Listen.
21:12Denzel.
21:13My dad's not a bad man.
21:15He gets it wrong a lot.
21:17Believe me, Kim, I know.
21:18But he always tries to get it right.
21:23It's complicated.
21:24And one thing about my dad, no matter what anyone has done, he'll always give them another chance.
21:32He's done that for me.
21:34And you.
21:35How do you remember all this?
21:45When I was your age, the only thing down from my age was footballers and girls' names.
21:52What are you doing here?
21:53Where's your brother, Barn?
21:56Zach came to see me.
21:58I don't know where Harry is, do I?
22:00You should have texted me first.
22:04Yeah.
22:06Listen, Barn, thanks for having me, mate.
22:08Nice one for the book smarts.
22:10Barney!
22:15Oh, teenage hormones.
22:18Billy, then how'd you explain Harry?
22:21Nicola, don't you think you should have said something to George?
22:24You know.
22:25You all right, honey?
22:26Hi.
22:27Harry, where you been?
22:28I've been with Coachum and Jeannie.
22:29You knew that.
22:31Harry.
22:31All of this has just got to follow me around forever, innit, Mum?
22:34I'm never going to escape it.
22:36You can't think like that, darling.
22:37Listen, I'll go.
22:38No, it's okay.
22:38Stay.
22:40I'm going to go lie down, anyway.
22:47At least he's talking to me about it now.
22:50It means I'm going to get out to help him.
22:52You need help, too, though, Nicola.
22:55You've got a baby on the way.
22:59You can't ignore it.
23:00You saw George earlier.
23:02He's got enough on his plate with Kojo.
23:04He doesn't need to find out he might be a dad again.
23:05No, he's going to notice eventually.
23:08Not if there ain't a baby.
23:11Oh, so you're thinking of...
23:13I don't know, honey.
23:14All I know is that Harry needs me right now.
23:20Listen, Emma.
23:21You don't get a restraint in order for nothing.
23:23Sophie had a good lawyer.
23:26The sort of lawyer big money can get you.
23:27Yeah, but if you didn't do anything wrong...
23:29Sophie knew what to say.
23:31That it would secure her full access to the children.
23:33Yes, but you could appeal it, surely.
23:35The dads always lose out.
23:36You know that.
23:39Look me straight in the eye
23:42and swear that you're telling me the whole truth.
23:47I swear that...
23:54I can't take another son betraying me.
23:58I know.
24:00I swear.
24:00I swear.
24:01Okay, let's...
24:09Let's move on from this.
24:13Now, if there's anything Sophie want and the children...
24:19No, I'm handling it, but thank you.
24:24It means a lot.
24:30Another?
24:31Yeah, yeah.
24:36I don't know what I want, Harry.
24:45Okay, well...
24:49I do, so...
24:51Hear me out, please.
24:54I love you, Kim.
24:58I know we haven't always had it easy, but...
25:04You make the world seem better.
25:06You have this way of making me see everything a bit...
25:11brighter.
25:15When I first met you...
25:18If someone had said to me...
25:20Yeah, he's the one.
25:23Not flashy, no fireworks...
25:26But a proper, safe, lifetime kind of love.
25:29I would have said, you need your head examined.
25:32But then...
25:33It happened.
25:35I learnt to love you.
25:37To trust you.
25:39To rely on you, no matter what.
25:42I'm still that man.
25:43No, Howie.
25:46You're the man who lied to me at the scrapyard.
25:50He was too scared to tell me the truth about Vincent.
25:54That was you.
25:56And that's still you.
25:58No.
26:00You made me a better man.
26:02But that's what I thought.
26:04And then you do this.
26:05Yeah, but all this, I've done it for you.
26:07For me?
26:08For me?
26:10Oh, how dare you.
26:12How dare you.
26:12Kim, I know the life you wanted.
26:15All the luxuries and that, and I wanted to give it all to you.
26:18So you're saying that all of this is my fault?
26:21Trying to explain.
26:22But go on, then.
26:22I'm trying to be the man you wanted.
26:24To give you the life you deserve.
26:25No, I deserve a life with you, Howie.
26:28And you've thrown it away.
26:30I can't trust you now.
26:31So if we don't have trust, then what do we have?
26:34What about Denzel and Pearl and Micah?
26:36Our little family.
26:37It's going to break their hearts.
26:39No, use this to me, okay?
26:40This is between me and you.
26:43Okay?
26:45Denzel's place is always here.
26:47If he wants to stay here, he can stay here.
26:53Don't do this, Kim.
26:54I am begging you.
27:02You know what?
27:04It's over.
27:06It's over.
27:07I'm done.
27:09Denzel can bring in your things.
27:24Thanks for today.
27:36I should be getting back.
27:40Why don't you stay at mine tonight?
27:43Oscar and Peter are out anyway.
27:45I can cook.
27:46You can entertain the kids.
27:47Yeah, go on then.
27:52So, do you really think this is just Anthony doing all this escape?
27:56I don't know.
27:58His ex has got a restraining order.
28:00But I thought it was Tommy and Gene.
28:03It could be anyone.
28:04A love story at the heart of the UK's biggest prison smuggling plot.
28:16Sex, drugs and cell block parties on CEMS.
28:19While on BBC iPlayer, love, ambition and power.
28:21How far will one man go to keep it all?
28:24This city is ours.
