00:00Sam!
00:13Uh, sorry, I'll call a gun.
00:30I'll call a gun.
01:00What are you doing?
01:18Nigel!
01:30I've got to be in the library all day.
01:43Can you spare five minutes?
01:44There's just something I want to talk through with you.
01:46I've got to be in the library forever, if you could.
01:54What are you doing?
01:57I ain't got more than a fiver in there, have you?
01:59Harry, what are you doing?
02:01Darling, this has got to stop.
02:02Look, I know going to Oaky's wake was hard, all right?
02:05But you can't keep going round and round like this.
02:07It'll be the last time, I promise.
02:08Shh, that's what I always say.
02:10How can you do this?
02:11Your dad is...
02:12Look, once he goes to trial, he'll get off.
02:15And then he'll be home.
02:17Just help me out.
02:18Okay?
02:18Or I'll have to tell George about that bun you've got in the oven.
02:23I'll have to tell George about it.
02:53I'll have to tell George about it.
02:57Your mum would be ashamed of me for letting us drift apart like that.
03:06You deserved so much better than me, Claire.
03:16Listen.
03:18Listen.
03:20You are the kindest man that I have ever met.
03:22Do you know that?
03:24When I was a little girl, everyone else just treated me like I was a nuisance, but not you.
03:30No, you've always took the time to talk to me.
03:32And...
03:34Now, um...
03:36I've really got to go.
03:38Okay.
03:38I've got to check my diary, you know, because, you know, I've got social events.
03:50I've got to stay in our mate's house.
03:51I've got to stay in our mate's house.
03:52Yeah.
03:53I've got to call him in touch with me.
03:54Oh.
03:55I've got to stay in our mate's house.
03:56I've got to call him in touch with me.
03:57I've got to call him in touch with me.
03:58I've got to call him in touch with me.
03:59I've got to call him in touch with me.
04:00I've got to call him in touch with me.
04:01I've got to do it.
04:02I've got to call him in touch with me.
04:03God, what's going to do I have to say to you?
04:07Don't, I'll go, don't start going in touch.
04:09Yeah, well, we've got to go in touch with you.
04:20I haven't got to score in touch with you.
04:25Wow, you have to love me.
04:30I'll see you.
04:31See you later.
04:34He'll still be feeling guilty.
04:37He didn't do anything wrong.
04:38It was Howie.
04:39Yes, father and son.
04:43It can be complicated.
04:45Why does it feel like you're not just talking about Howie and Denzel?
04:53Who would have thought, right?
04:55Mr. Perfect, Dr. Truman, has a restraining order against him.
05:00Josie would have torn him into strides if she was here.
05:05That's what she said to Denzel is Patrick's son, Kim.
05:09Until we know the Lord, he deserves our support.
05:13And Kim, there is no shame in admitting that you miss Howie and...
05:30You're well busted.
05:39Excuse me?
05:40Excuse me.
05:41Yeah, yeah.
05:42Mum dumps both kids on her babysitter and takes her day off work so she could, uh, what?
05:47Hang around and do nothing all day?
05:49Right, well, first of all, Peter is their dad, so he's not exactly babysitting, is he?
05:53Is he?
05:54And second of all, you know, I haven't allowed a little bit of time on my hand, you know?
05:58Self-care is a thing, even for months.
06:00Mm-hmm.
06:01So you're not sneaking off to find a birthday present then?
06:04Yeah, right, that's it.
06:0818th's ain't even really important anymore, yeah.
06:12It's not really a big deal, it's more about 21st, even 16th.
06:15Just keep your nose out of my business, all right?
06:19I told you, you don't want anything, Lauren.
06:21Yeah, yeah.
06:23For real!
06:23Oh, sorry!
06:29Oh, listen, I have to catch up, it's been years.
06:33Let's do brunch sometime, yeah?
06:34You didn't seem too surprised to see me.
06:37Oh, don't the bird pennies show up, that's what we do.
06:40Thing is, I've been having some trouble.
06:42Someone's been making floats, trying to mess with my life.
06:45And then out of the blue, here you are.
06:48The luck had come all the way from Spain, for you.
06:50So you don't mind if I run and tell Phil I've seen you go?
06:57All right, five minutes.
07:00I'm not here.
07:08All right.
07:09All right.
07:13I think I might ask Claire to the filming.
07:17Oh, it's nice of you, by the way.
07:20For letting her have all that money.
07:22Money?
07:23What?
07:24What money?
07:25What are we talking about?
07:26From the, um...
07:32I, uh...
07:34I don't know if Claire had what she wanted or what she made me in trouble.
07:40It can't have been Claire.
07:41You ain't seen her for years.
07:43This woman.
07:44What does she look like?
07:47Blonde.
07:48Um, middle-aged.
07:49Look, I've got things to do, right?
07:55So if you've got something to say, can you just say it?
07:57Someone's been stalking me.
07:59Well, it ain't me.
08:01You sure?
08:02You got fooled for trying to ruin my life.
08:04Yeah.
08:04And I feel bad for the way that I treated you in the past, but it wasn't personal.
08:09Look, I'm here to sort my own life out, right?
08:11Not mess with yours.
08:13You're lying.
08:15You're up to something.
08:17Do you know, it sounds like you can get nothing but hassles to treat them back.
08:20So why are you still here?
08:23I've asked about you a couple of times when Cat and Phil were playing happy families.
08:28I've got the impression that you and her weren't exactly in touch.
08:31I get it, right?
08:35Families, they're not all they're crept up to be.
08:38Time was for would have done anything for me, but...
08:41Now, look, just tell me the truth.
08:45Why are you here?
08:45Why now?
08:46Because you showing up ain't no coincidence.
08:48Not everything is about you, sweetheart.
08:52Me and Ricky, all right?
08:54That's all I care about.
08:58We're not that different.
09:00You and me.
09:01We never were.
09:03Whoever's got it in for you, it ain't me.
09:06I've been knocking your door down.
09:26Your boy said a beer.
09:27Whoever's got your knickers in a twister, I've got time for it.
09:30Yeah, well, you'd better make time.
09:31Some middle-aged blonde bird nicked 20 grand out of my safe this morning.
09:35Tell me what, you've got some scant going, eh?
09:37You're trying to get Teddy off the hook or something?
09:39If all it took was money, don't you think I'd have done it by now?
09:42It wasn't me.
09:43I mean, I can't be the only blonde in your life.
09:50Hello, Jack.
09:51Look at this.
09:53Poor Harry.
09:54Yeah.
09:55Let me tap on him.
09:56Who's the word of his dad?
09:58I've got to get to work.
10:00Sure.
10:01Uh, pardon me?
10:02Yeah?
10:03Could you check on him for me?
10:05Jean, you can't keep doing this, all right?
10:10I've got enough on my plate without doing your job and all.
10:13Call me back, please.
10:15Just talk to me.
10:22Oi, you old slapper.
10:26Know your name, then?
10:28Oh, it's good to see you've found your level cap.
10:30Sweeping up other people's faggings.
10:33I am a loser now, so don't problem company.
10:35You put your stamp on the place yet?
10:37I'm going to the ladies.
10:39Am I going to find it stacked with a pile of leopard print pop roll?
10:42Last time I saw you, you ruined my marriage.
10:45Oh, come on.
10:46I did you a favour.
10:48And you know it.
10:49Who wants to be married to a pound of bacon for the rest of their month?
10:53Anyway, there's a lot to be said for being single.
10:55It weren't your decision to make, and I ain't single.
10:58I'm married Alfie again.
11:00Well, I'll say one thing for you, Kat.
11:02You do like her Greatest Hits album.
11:05Please don't tell me you're brave enough to miss your whole family again.
11:09Well, Zoe.
11:09I've got a bigger fish to fry.
11:13Ripping someone off on the run.
11:15It's either one or the other with you.
11:17Oh, it's been lovely chatting, Kat.
11:18It really has, but I've got to go now.
11:21I've got an airport lounge.
11:23And complimentary cocktails and my name on them.
11:28Alright.
11:29So where'd you get all that, then?
11:33Oi!
11:34Oi!
11:37She went that way.
11:38Oh, hello, darling.
11:46Listen, I really need to see you, okay?
12:01Okay, come in.
12:08What is it, George?
12:11Cojo wanted me checking on you.
12:13We saw the paper.
12:15It's going to be tough on you.
12:16Yeah, we know that, but it sounds like Teddy's trying to do to us.
12:22I mean, what are you talking about?
12:24Well, pleading guilty.
12:26What?
12:28No, no, you wouldn't do that.
12:29What are you talking about?
12:30Well, I just read it.
12:31I mean, as soon as you knew.
12:33But I'm sorry, I wouldn't have come round if I would have realised you.
12:35What do you mean he's thinking?
12:40There's meant to be a trial.
12:42No!
12:43No!
12:46Listen.
12:47No!
12:48Sentence to me.
12:49Come here.
12:51No!
12:52Just...
12:52Two family businesses opening in as many weeks.
12:56Morf is not going to know what's hitting.
12:58Yep, everyone's excited.
12:59Mum sent me a posture tie.
13:00That I'm absolutely never going to wear.
13:03Lee sent me a thumbs up emoji.
13:05That meant a lot.
13:06And Nancy called me big-headed.
13:08Because I name up as this after myself.
13:10Twice.
13:11So...
13:11Your dad would be so proud of you.
13:18I'm sorry, Canem's not here, Dad.
13:21He...
13:21He called you.
13:22He said good luck.
13:23Anyway, he said he'd take action to see Ben lose.
13:26So...
13:27Well, we can still party.
13:30Let's do it.
13:36Mum!
13:37There he is.
13:38Come here.
13:39Come on.
13:42Oh, God.
13:44Come on.
13:47You want to slow down?
13:49No bloke is worth drowning your sorrows over.
13:51True that.
13:52True that.
13:53And if it ain't good vibes, you know what I'm interested?
13:56Because I know my value.
13:58Yeah?
13:58Zoe knows her value.
14:01Yeah?
14:01And give for her.
14:03Turns out that Annie ain't all that.
14:05Tell me something I don't know.
14:07Well, I don't think you know that his divorce wasn't exactly a common or garden breaker.
14:13And how's that?
14:14Well, his wife, ex-wife, whatever you want to call her, she got a restraining order against
14:21him.
14:21Yes.
14:22And Zoe found out, packed up her bags and blocked him on everything.
14:28The man's been moping ever since.
14:32And where'd she go?
14:33Well, I don't know.
14:34I'm not a keeper.
14:35You're a mummy, isn't it?
14:36Yes.
14:37Can I have a word with you about any donations for the Christmas soap kitchen?
14:42Yeah, yeah.
14:42Ask Alfie.
14:43I know people have busy lives, you know, but do you know that it was this time Lucy that
14:51I found Nigel?
14:54Lord knows.
14:55Who is going to be the poorest one that I need to help this year?
15:00What is that?
15:03Two thousand quid.
15:06Yeah, yeah.
15:07I beg your pardon?
15:08I'm still in my car.
15:10And Lauren texted me to say she could get around two thousand pounds.
15:14So, the soup kitchen can have all of it.
15:18All of it.
15:19All of it.
15:19Listen, I don't want anything more to do with Harry, yeah?
15:23Anything connected, I don't want it.
15:25I want your good vibes, yeah?
15:27Peace and love.
15:29Hallelujah.
15:31Ja!
15:32Mustafi!
15:35Hey!
15:36What?
15:37The object of toilets?
15:38Wasn't Jane supposed to clean you this morning?
15:41Don't tell me.
15:42Okay, right, she hasn't come in.
15:43What is the point?
15:44Sorry for what that man's in here.
15:46I don't know where she's going.
15:47She's ignoring my calls, my texts, everything.
15:49Well, I thought you weren't going to give him space.
15:50That was the whole idea about her moving out.
15:52She's trying to protect us from whoever's doing all this.
15:55Look, I still worry about her.
15:56I'm still her mum.
15:57Yeah.
15:57I know, I know.
15:58She's a grown woman, but for what it's worth, I think she's just...
16:02Just back off a little bit, yeah?
16:05Thanks.
16:07Thanks.
16:10Don't drink this.
16:15It's all right.
16:17Pretty bad.
16:23Did you ever hurt someone?
16:27Yeah.
16:27No, I'm proud of her.
16:29I saw a man get beaten to death once.
16:48I was just a kid, but it turned out a man.
16:53You know, the victim, well, it was my real dad.
17:01It was complicated.
17:04Sorry, I didn't know.
17:10Of course.
17:13Listen.
17:14My point is, I grew up with a dad.
17:25My name was capable of doing terrible things, violent things.
17:31And when you're there, son, it's hard not to think you're going to do the same.
17:37But you have to learn to separate yourself from them.
17:40My dad has done nothing but look out for me my whole life.
17:47And now he's going to spend years inside for something he didn't even do.
17:53I mean, of course you want to think the best of him, but if he's played in guilt...
17:59He's only doing that because he thinks he has to.
18:05To protect me.
18:10What do you say?
18:15I didn't want him.
18:18I was just trying to save Kojo.
18:23So...
18:24So Kojo isn't there, Charlie.
18:31You did this.
18:33You killed Oki.
18:34It was an accident, man.
18:41I panicked.
18:43My dad said that he'd saw it and I...
18:46I let him...
18:47There was no evidence I thought that he'd get off.
18:53I...
18:53I...
18:54I watched...
18:57What happened to my dad?
18:59I was just a kid.
19:00I just watched.
19:06And even though I didn't know the whole story, I still felt with terrible guilt.
19:12That's right now you have to make a decision.
19:15Do you understand?
19:18Either you let your guilt drag you down even further than you already are...
19:23Or...
19:23You have to find him.
19:28A new way through this.
19:31No matter how hard it is.
19:33Why didn't you say you were coming?
19:47Well, it was all so last minute.
19:49Anyway, you and me...
19:51Go where the wind takes me.
19:53I've texted you.
19:55Just leave me on my end.
20:00Did you get that video that you were signing last week?
20:03I think she's so chatty now.
20:04It's amazing.
20:06Last time you saw her, she's just a little thing.
20:09And now she's like a proper human.
20:11I just love her so much.
20:14I know you wish that I was more like other mothers.
20:17Yeah, I'm nagging at you to pick up your dirty socks and throw an octopus.
20:22Yeah.
20:23Yeah, I should have done things differently.
20:26And not differently.
20:27I really wish I had any need to be the one that you deserve to be.
20:34You know what?
20:35I know I ain't been enough, but that don't mean I don't love you.
20:39I'm so proud of you, darling.
20:42Look at you.
20:44You've got so much potential, you know?
20:46You can do anything.
20:48Go anywhere you want in your life.
20:50Take Charlie with you.
20:51Why not?
20:51Why are you talking like this?
20:55Because there's things I need to tell you.
20:59And that's why I came over, because I wanted to tell you in person.
21:03Don't worry, everything's going to be alright.
21:06I'm going to make sure that your future's set up.
21:09No matter what.
21:11No matter what?
21:12What's that supposed to mean?
21:15Do you know the best thing that a parent can give a kid?
21:19It's a make-up.
21:20Money.
21:22And a lot of it.
21:22Mum, I don't want your money.
21:23No, I don't mean for now.
21:25I'm going to put it in an account, and it's going to earn your interest.
21:28And then when you decide what you want, I'll tell you your love.
21:31You're going to go.
21:35I won't give you much.
21:38Please, just let me give you this.
21:40If you're looking for Zoe, she ain't here.
21:54Thanks to you, my family's been torn apart.
21:57Thanks to me?
21:58How'd you get back?
21:59She's accused Tommy of being her stalker.
22:02But I know better, yeah?
22:04It's funny how this all started after you showed up.
22:07Zoe ain't that into you.
22:08It's the best way to keep her close is to keep her scared, yeah?
22:11Do you think a man like me would mess about Katie's scary messages?
22:15As far as I can see, she wants nothing to do with you.
22:18So take me in and knock this on the end, yeah?
22:21Or I'll make sure that you don't get off the Australian order this time.
22:24What the hell are you doing here?
22:38Don't be nice.
22:40No, no, no.
22:40Just dropping in here, like getting him to skip school.
22:43What do you want this time?
22:45I'll just ignore him, okay?
22:46I came here because I wanted to see you.
22:48Now I've done that, I've got to go.
22:52You can't just go.
22:53You haven't even seen Charlie yet.
22:55Why don't you just come round for dinner?
22:57Daddy, listen, I'd love to.
22:58Oh, I can't.
23:00If I go to the airport now, I might be able to build and save the ticket.
23:03Yeah.
23:04I know.
23:07Not the only good thing that I've done with my life.
23:10She's talking about sending me money, but it doesn't count for me when I'm older.
23:28She's probably spitting you a line, she'll turn about, boy.
23:31No, I'm serious.
23:32She's acting really weird.
23:35That's nice, she's never going to see me again, I think.
23:40What are you doing here?
23:49What have you said to him?
23:50He's telling me everything.
23:52Like sending Kojo, killing Oki.
23:56Well, you should be proud of him.
23:58At least he knows the difference between my own.
24:01Are you ready?
24:03Let's go.
24:04Go.
24:06Go where?
24:07I can't let Dad do this.
24:10Who are you ever going to tell me?
24:11Of course I was.
24:13When the time was right.
24:14Nicola, you lied to the police.
24:17You're letting an innocent man go down.
24:19Doesn't that matter to you?
24:20Harry, I've got that money.
24:22You know, cash, don't you want it?
24:24Whoa, whoa.
24:25You're giving them money for drugs?
24:26I know.
24:29You told me the truth.
24:31Off your own bag.
24:32No one forced you.
24:34Except to ask yourself why.
24:36Because of my Dad.
24:37Yeah.
24:38So what sort of man did he teach you to be?
24:41Sort of man that stands up or sort of man that runs away?
24:44That's easy enough for you to say.
24:45When it isn't your kid facing the dock.
24:47If it was Junior, Gina or Anna, I would say the same thing.
24:51Yeah, say the same thing.
24:52Or do the same thing.
24:54Look, darling.
24:55I haven't thought we should do, all right?
24:57What about we better?
24:58How's he going to cope with you inside?
24:59And you've got to think about it.
25:00Just shoot the point, man.
25:01And let me think.
25:02They'll put me on Romand, won't they?
25:09Yeah, probably.
25:10Romand, why are you even thinking about that?
25:13I'll pack a change of clothes.
25:14No, Harry.
25:16Don't do this.
25:18Please.
25:21Darling, I'm begging you.
25:25I'm sorry, man.
25:26Hey, it's a bit early for the hard stuff.
25:53Listen, Salai.
25:54Nobody knows better than me that relationships, they ain't easy.
26:02I'll just break up.
26:03People say things they don't really mean.
26:05No, I know, I know, I know.
26:06It ain't as simple as that.
26:08They don't know anything.
26:09So just break off.
26:22Harry, how are you going to cope in prison?
26:24Oh, he's got mates.
26:25They'll have you on day one.
26:26Me till I don't.
26:27Look, if you do this, it won't just be you that goes down.
26:30Me and your dad will be done for conspiracy.
26:32Pervert in the course of justice.
26:33You lie.
26:34So it's your problem.
26:35And yours.
26:36What are you talking about?
26:37If he does this, I'll be having your baby in prison.
26:42What?
26:44I'm pregnant.
26:45Rickie said you offered him some money.
26:59Why?
27:01Is it all right?
27:02We're just messing with his head.
27:04I see him.
27:05So you're all trying to buy him now.
27:07Get him to love you for your money.
27:09There's only much else to love you for, is there?
27:10I see a bit harsh, Jack.
27:11What if you're scared?
27:13Since you're talking to him like you might not ever see him again.
27:16Right, he's worried.
27:17Because he's a little boy with a big arm.
27:19Me on the other hand, I'm older and wiser.
27:23You're up to something, ain't you?
27:24You're in trouble.
27:25What are you doing?
27:27Well, you scammed someone out of something.
27:28Now they're coming after you.
27:30Hey, and what?
27:31What are you planning on a scam?
27:32Someone who might, you think you might go wrong?
27:35You're unbelievable, you are.
27:37You don't change, do you?
27:39You're still the same lying, manipulative...
27:41I'm dying, Jack.
27:45I'm done, Jack.
27:48I'm dying.
27:49I'm dying.
27:51I'm dying.
27:52I'm dying.
