00:00Sam!
00:12Sorry, I've got to go.
00:30I've got to go.
01:00What are you doing?
01:11Nigel.
01:14Claire.
01:30You all right?
01:35I've got to be in the library all day.
01:37Can you spare five minutes?
01:38There's just something I want to talk through here.
01:40I've got to go.
01:40You've got to be in the library forever, if you could.
01:48What are you doing?
01:50You ain't got more than a fiver in here, have you?
01:52Harry, what are you doing?
01:54Darling, this has got to stop.
01:55Look, I know going to Oaky's wake was hard, all right,
01:58but you can't keep going round and round like this.
02:00It'll be the last time, I promise.
02:01That's what they all say.
02:03How can you do this?
02:04Your dad is...
02:04Look, once it goes to trial, he'll get off
02:07and then he'll be home.
02:09Just help me out, okay?
02:13Or I'll have to tell George about that bun you've got in the oven.
02:15Tee's up.
02:40I wish you'd have phoned me, told me he was coming.
02:45Your mum would be ashamed of me
02:52for letting us drift apart like that.
02:57You deserved so much better than me, Claire.
03:06Listen.
03:08Listen.
03:10You are the kindest man that I have ever met.
03:12Do you know that?
03:12When I was a little girl,
03:15everyone else just treated me like I was a nuisance,
03:17but not you.
03:19No, you've always took the time to talk to me.
03:21And...
03:22But now, um...
03:24I've really got to go.
03:27Okay?
03:28Listen, I can help out after school and in the holidays as well.
03:40You're a good boy, Denzel.
03:42There's always people in need over Christmas
03:43and many hands make light work.
03:45Yeah, well, um...
03:47I've got to check my diary, you know,
03:48cos...
03:49you know, I've got social events.
03:56Dad's staying at her mate's house.
03:58Oh, yeah.
04:00He tried calling me and texting me.
04:03Oh.
04:06I just wish I knew what to say to her.
04:08I will get to school anyway.
04:13See you later.
04:14See you.
04:16Austin.
04:17See you later.
04:20He shouldn't be feeling guilty.
04:22He didn't do anything wrong.
04:24It was Howie.
04:25Yeah, it's father and son.
04:28It can be complicated.
04:30Why does it feel like you're not just talking about Howie and Denzel?
04:34Who would have thought, eh?
04:40Mr. Perfect Dr. Truman has a restraining order against him.
04:46Josie would have torn him into shreds if she was here.
04:49That's what she said to Denise.
04:50He is Patrick's son, Kayla.
04:53Until we know the whole truth, he deserves our support.
04:57And, Kim, there is no shame in admitting that you're Miss Howie, you know.
05:04I think so.
05:17Ah, Lauren!
05:19You're well busted.
05:21Excuse me?
05:22Excuse me?
05:23Yeah, yeah.
05:25Mum dumps both kids on her babysitter and takes her day off work so she can, uh, what?
05:29Hang around and do nothing all day?
05:31Right, well, first of all, Peter is their dad,
05:33so he's not exactly babysitting, is he?
05:35Is he?
05:35And second of all, I am allowed a little bit of time on my own, you know?
05:40Self-care is a thing, even for mums.
05:43So you're not sneaking off to buy my birthday present then?
05:46Yeah, right, as if.
05:49Eighteenths ain't even really important anymore, you know?
05:53It's not really a big deal, it's more about 21st, Stephen 16th.
05:56Just keep your nose out of my business, all right?
05:58I told you, I don't want anything, Lauren.
06:02Yeah, yeah.
06:03For real!
06:07Oh, Zoe!
06:09Oh, listen, I'd love to catch up, it's been years.
06:12Let's do brunch sometime.
06:14Yeah?
06:14You didn't seem too surprised to see me.
06:17Well, about pennies show up, that's what we do.
06:20Thing is, I've been having some trouble.
06:22Someone's been making threats, trying to mess with my life.
06:24And then out of the blue, here you are.
06:26Well, like I'd come all the way from Spain, for you.
06:30So you don't mind if I run and tell Phil I've seen you then?
06:36All right, five minutes.
06:38I'm not here.
06:46All right?
06:47Yeah, you all right, mate?
06:48I think I might ask Claire to the filming.
06:55Oh, it's nice for you, by the way.
06:57Thank you for letting her have all that money.
07:00Money?
07:00What?
07:01What money?
07:02What are we talking about?
07:03From the, um...
07:04I, uh...
07:11I didn't ask Claire what she wanted it for.
07:15I thought she might be in trouble.
07:16Yeah, it can't have been Claire, all right?
07:18You haven't seen her for years.
07:19This woman, what does she look like?
07:22She's blonde.
07:24Um, middle-aged.
07:25Look, I've got things to do, all right?
07:30So if you've got something to say, can you just say it?
07:33Someone's been stalking me.
07:35Well, it ain't me.
07:36Are you sure?
07:37You got fooled for trying to ruin my life.
07:39Yeah, and I feel bad for the way that I treated you in the past,
07:42but it wasn't personal.
07:44Look, I'm here to sort my own life out, right?
07:46Not mess with yours.
07:48You're lying.
07:49You're up to something.
07:50Do you know, it sounds like you've been getting nothing but hassle
07:54since you've been back.
07:55So why are you still here?
07:58I asked about you a couple of times
08:00when Cat and Phil were playing happy families.
08:02I've got the impression that you and her weren't exactly in touch.
08:06Look, I get it, right?
08:09Families, they're not all they're cracked up to be.
08:12Time was Phil would have done anything for me, but...
08:14Now.
08:16Look, just tell me the truth.
08:18Why are you here? Why now?
08:19Because you sharing that up ain't no coincidence.
08:22Not everything is about you, sweetheart.
08:25Me and Ricky, all right?
08:27That's all I care about.
08:31We're not that different, you and me.
08:33We never were.
08:35Whoever's got it in for you, it ain't me.
08:38I've been knocking your door down.
08:57Your boy said a beer.
08:58Whoever's got your knickers in a twist, I ain't got time for it.
09:01Yeah, well, you better make time.
09:02Some middle-aged blonde bird nicked 20 grand out of my safe this morning.
09:06So what, you got some scamp going, eh?
09:07You trying to get Teddy off the hook or something?
09:09If all it took was money, don't you think I'd have done it by now?
09:12It wasn't me.
09:14I mean, I can't be the only blonde in your life.
09:15Hey, Kota, look at this.
09:22Poor Harry.
09:24Yeah.
09:24Let me tap on him.
09:26He's a word of his death.
09:28I've got to get to work.
09:30Sure.
09:31Er, Kwame?
09:32Yeah?
09:32Could you check on him for me?
09:35Of course.
09:37Gene, you can't keep doing this, all right?
09:39I've got enough on my plate without doing your job and all.
09:42Call me back, please.
09:44Just talk to me.
09:50All right, you old slapper.
09:53Ha!
09:54Know your name, then?
09:56Oh, it's good to see you found your level cat.
09:58Sweeping up other people's faggings.
10:00I own the boozer now, so don't bother popping in.
10:03You put a stamp on the place yet?
10:05I go into the ladies, am I going to find it stacked with a pile of leopard print bob roll?
10:10Last time I saw you, you ruined my marriage.
10:12Oh, come on, I did you a favour.
10:15And you know it.
10:16Who wants to be married to a pound of bacon for the rest of their life?
10:20Anyway, there's a lot to be said for being single.
10:22It weren't your decision to make, and I ain't single.
10:24I'm married Alfie again.
10:26Well, I'll say one thing for you, cat.
10:28You do like a Greatest Hits album.
10:31Please don't tell me you're brave enough to mess with my family again.
10:35Well, Zoe.
10:35I've got a bigger fish to fry.
10:39Ripping someone off on the run.
10:41It's either one or the other with you.
10:43Oh, it's been lovely chatting, cat.
10:44It really has.
10:45But I've got to go now.
10:47I've got an airport lounge and complimentary cocktails with my name on them.
10:50All right.
10:54So where'd you get all that, then?
10:58Oi!
10:59Oi!
11:02She went that way.
11:03The wrong one.
11:09Oh, hello, darling.
11:10Listen, I really need to see you.
11:12OK?
11:24Can I come in?
11:33What is it, George?
11:34Cojo wanted me checking on you.
11:36We saw the paper.
11:38Look, it's going to be tough on you.
11:39Yeah, we know that, but it sounds like that he's trying to do the right thing.
11:44Meaning what?
11:45What are you talking about?
11:46Well, pleading guilty.
11:49What?
11:50No, you wouldn't do that.
11:51What are you talking about?
11:52Well, I just read it.
11:53I mean, as soon as you knew.
11:55But I'm sorry.
11:55I wouldn't have come around if I realised you.
11:58No!
12:00What do you mean?
12:01He's pleading guilty.
12:01There's meant to be a trial.
12:04No, what do you mean?
12:05He's pleading guilty.
12:06There's meant to be a trial, George.
12:07Listen.
12:08No!
12:09Sentence tomorrow.
12:10Come here.
12:13Two family businesses opening in as many weeks.
12:17Wolf is not going to know what's hitting.
12:18Yep, everyone's excited.
12:19Mum sent me a posthew tie that I'm absolutely never going to wear.
12:24Lee sent me a thumbs up emoji.
12:25That meant a lot.
12:26And Nancy called me big-headed because I named my business after myself twice.
12:31So...
12:32Your dad would be so proud of you.
12:37I'm sorry Callum's not here, darling.
12:40He called.
12:42He said good luck.
12:42Anyway, he said he'd take Lexi to see Bernice.
12:45Well, we can still party.
12:48Well, let's do it.
12:51Come on.
12:55Mum!
12:56There he is.
12:57Come here, darling.
12:58You want to slow down?
13:07No bloke is worth drowning your sorrows over.
13:09True that.
13:10True that.
13:11And if it ain't good vibes, you know what I'm interested?
13:14Because I know my value, yeah?
13:16Zoe knows her value, yeah?
13:18And good for her.
13:20Turns out that Annie ain't all that.
13:23Tell me something I don't know.
13:24Well, I don't think you know that his divorce wasn't exactly a common old garden breakup.
13:30And how's that?
13:32Well, his wife, ex-wife, whatever you want to call her, she got a restraining order against him.
13:37Yes, and Zoe found out, packed up her bags and blocked him on everything.
13:45The man's been moping ever since.
13:48And where's she gone?
13:49Well, I don't know.
13:50I'm not a keeper.
13:51You're a mum, innit?
13:51What?
13:53Can I have a word with you about any donations for the Christmas soup kitchen?
13:57Yeah, yeah.
13:57Ask Alfie.
14:00I know people have busy lives, you know, but...
14:03Do you know that it was this time last year that I found Nigel?
14:08Oh, Lord knows.
14:11Who is going to be the poorest soul that I need to help this year?
14:15$5,000.
14:17$2,000.
14:20Yeah, yeah.
14:21I beg your pardon?
14:22I'm still in my car.
14:24And Lauren texted me to say she could get around £2,000.
14:27So, the soup kitchen can have all of it.
14:31All of it.
14:32All of it.
14:33Listen, I don't want anything more to do with Harry, yeah?
14:36Anything connected?
14:37I don't want it.
14:38I want pure good vibes, yeah?
14:40Peace and love.
14:42Hallelujah.
14:44Ja!
14:45Wastafari!
14:48Let's go!
14:48Get up to them toilets.
14:51Wasn't Jean supposed to clean them this morning?
14:53Don't tell me.
14:54Okay, right, she hasn't come in, actually.
14:56What is the point?
14:57But Zoe's working out of Anthony's and I don't know where she's gone.
14:59She's ignoring my calls, my texts, everything.
15:01Well, I thought you were going to give them space.
15:02That was the whole idea about her moving out.
15:04She's trying to protect us from whoever's doing all this.
15:06I can still worry about her.
15:08I'm still her mum.
15:08Okay, I know.
15:09I know, sweetheart.
15:10She's a grown woman, but for what it's worth, I think she's just, you know, just back off a little bit, yeah?
15:17This stinks.
15:21Yeah, drink this.
15:26It's all right.
15:27It's really better.
15:28Yeah.
15:28Did you ever hurt someone?
15:37Yeah, plenty.
15:38Not unproud of it, but...
15:40Where's this coming from?
15:44I don't know.
15:55I saw a man get beaten to death once.
15:57I was just a kid, but it turned out the man, the victim, well, it was my real dad.
16:10It was complicated.
16:12Sorry, I didn't know.
16:18Of course not, buddy.
16:21Listen.
16:23Yeah.
16:24Thanks.
16:27My point is, I grew up with a dad who I knew was capable of doing terrible things, violent things.
16:37And when you were their son, it's hard not to think you're going to do the same, but you have to learn to separate yourself from them.
16:47My dad has done nothing but look out for me my whole life.
16:51And now he's going to spend years inside for something he didn't even do.
16:59Hang on, I mean, of course you want to think the best of him, but if he's pleading guilt...
17:04He's only doing that because he thinks he has to.
17:06He's only doing that because he thinks he has to.
17:10To protect me.
17:11What were you saying?
17:19I didn't want to.
17:22I was just trying to save Kojo.
17:27So...
17:28So Kojo is in danger, eh?
17:31You did this.
17:37You killed Oki.
17:42It was an accident.
17:44I panicked.
17:47My dad said that he'd sought it and I let him...
17:50There was no evidence I thought that he'd get off.
17:54I watched what happened to my dad.
18:02I was just a kid.
18:05But like I said...
18:07I just watched.
18:08And even though I didn't know the whole story,
18:11I still felt terrible guilt.
18:14So right now you have to make a decision.
18:16Do you understand?
18:20Either you let your guilt drag you down even further than you already are,
18:24Or...
18:25You have to find a new way through this.
18:32No matter how hard it is.
18:45Why didn't you say you were coming?
18:47Well, it was also last minute.
18:49Anyway, you know me.
18:51I'll go where the wind takes me.
18:53I've texted you.
18:54Just leave me on read.
18:59Did you get that video I sent you of Charlie last week?
19:02I think she's so chatty now.
19:03It's amazing.
19:05Last time you saw her, she was just this little thing.
19:07And now she's like a proper human.
19:10I just love her so much.
19:11I know you wish that I was more like other mums.
19:15Yeah?
19:16Nagging at you to pick up your dirty socks and to...
19:18Showing up to be.
19:19I'm sorry.
19:20Yeah.
19:22Yeah, I should have done things differently.
19:24A lot differently.
19:25I really wish I had it in me to be the mum that you deserve, Ricky.
19:32You're all right.
19:32I know I ain't been enough, but that don't mean I don't love you.
19:36I'm so proud of you, darling.
19:39Look at you.
19:41You've got so much potential, you know?
19:43You can do anything.
19:45Go anywhere you want in your life.
19:47Take Charlie with you.
19:48Why not?
19:49Why are you talking like this?
19:52Because there's things I need to tell you.
19:55And that's why I came over, because I wanted to tell you in person.
19:59Don't worry, everything's going to be all right.
20:02I'm going to make sure that your future's set up, no matter what.
20:07No matter what?
20:09What's that supposed to mean?
20:11Do you know the best thing that a parent can give a kid?
20:14It's a leg up.
20:16Money.
20:17And a lot of it.
20:18Mum, I don't want your money.
20:19No, I don't mean for now.
20:20I'm going to put it in an account, and it's going to earn you interest.
20:23And then when you decide what you want to do with your life, you'll be there.
20:30I ain't giving you much.
20:33Please, just let me give you this.
20:45If you're looking for Zoe, she ain't here.
20:48Thanks to you, my family's been torn apart.
20:50Thanks to me?
20:51How'd you get there?
20:52She's accused Tommy of being her stalker.
20:55But I know better, yeah?
20:57It's funny how this all started after you showed up.
21:00Zoe ain't that into you, so the best way to keep her close is to keep her scared, yeah?
21:03Penny, you think a man like me would mess about painting scary messages?
21:08As far as I can see, she wants nothing to do with you.
21:10So take the hint and knock this on the edge, yeah?
21:13Or I'll make sure that you don't get off with a restraining order this time.
21:17What the hell are you doing here?
21:30That'd be nice.
21:31No, no, no, just dropping in here, like getting him to skip school.
21:34What do you want this time?
21:36I'll just ignore him, okay?
21:38I came here because I wanted to see you.
21:40And now I've done that, I've got to go.
21:43You can't just go.
21:44You haven't even seen Charlie yet.
21:45I mean, why don't you just come round for dinner?
21:47Oh, darling, listen, I'd love to, all right, but I can't.
21:50If I go to the airport now, I might be able to blag myself a cheap flight back to Spain.
21:54Yeah? Bye then.
21:57You are the only good thing that I've done with my life.
22:02Just know that.
22:12She was talking about sending me money, but putting it in an account for me when I'm older.
22:16Well, she's probably speeding you a line, isn't she?
22:18It sounds about why.
22:19No, Dad, I'm serious.
22:21She was acting really weird.
22:24It's not like she was never going to see me again or something.
22:34What are you doing here?
22:37What have you said to him?
22:38He's stopping everything.
22:40Saving Kojo, killing Okie.
22:44But you should be proud of him.
22:45Because at least he knows the difference between right and wrong.
22:49Are you ready?
22:51Let's go.
22:51All right, go.
22:53Go where?
22:54I can't let Dad do this.
22:57Were you ever going to tell me?
22:58Of course I was.
23:00When the time was right.
23:01Nicola, you lied to the police.
23:03You're letting an innocent man go down.
23:05Doesn't that matter to you?
23:07Harry, I've got that money.
23:08You know, cash.
23:09Don't you want it?
23:10Whoa, whoa.
23:11You're giving him money for drugs.
23:13Hey, Harry.
23:15You told me the truth.
23:17Off your own back.
23:18No one forced you.
23:20So you have to ask yourself why.
23:22Because of my dad.
23:23Yeah.
23:24So what sort of man did he teach you to be?
23:27Sort of man that stands up or sort of man that runs away?
23:29That's easy enough for you to say when it isn't your kid facing the dock.
23:32If it was Junior, Gina or Anna, I would say the same thing.
23:35Yeah, say the same thing or do the same thing.
23:39Look, darling, you haven't thought this through, all right?
23:41What about your brother?
23:42How's he going to cope with you inside?
23:44And you've got to think about what your dad wants.
23:44Just shut up for a minute and let me think.
23:51They'll put me on Ramond, won't they?
23:53Yeah, probably.
23:54Ramond, why are you even thinking about that?
23:57I'll pack a change of clothes.
23:58No, Harry.
23:59Don't do this.
24:02Please.
24:04Darling, I'm begging you.
24:08I'm sorry, Mum.
24:09Hey, it's a bit early for the hard stuff.
24:33Listen, son.
24:36Nobody knows better than me that relationships, they ain't easy.
24:43Your marriage is a breakup.
24:44People say things they don't really mean.
24:46Oh, I know, I know, I know.
24:47It ain't as simple as that.
24:49You don't know anything!
24:50So just back off!
24:51Harry, how are you going to cope in prison?
25:05Oh, he's got mates, they'll have you on day one.
25:06Little have done.
25:07Look, if you do this, it won't just be you that goes down.
25:10Me and your dad will be done for conspiracy.
25:12Perverting the course of justice.
25:13You lied, so it's your problem.
25:15And yours.
25:16What are you talking about?
25:16If he does this, I'll be having your baby in prison.
25:21What?
25:23I'm pregnant.
25:30Sam!
25:32Come here.
25:36Ricky said you offered him some money.
25:37Why?
25:39Is it a lie?
25:41Or are you just messing with his head?
25:42Of course not.
25:43So you are trying to buy him, then?
25:45Get him to love you for your money.
25:47Because there ain't much else to love you for, is there?
25:48Oh, that's a bit harsh, Jack.
25:49He was scared.
25:50He says you're talking to him like you might not ever see him again.
25:54All right, he's worried.
25:55Because he's a little boy with a big R.
25:57Me on the other hand, I'm older and wiser.
26:00You're up to something, aren't you?
26:01You're in trouble.
26:03What have you done?
26:04Well, you scammed someone out of something.
26:05Now they're coming after you.
26:07Eh?
26:08Or what?
26:08Were you planning to scam someone?
26:10And what?
26:10You think you might go wrong?
26:11You're unbelievable, you are.
26:14You don't change, do you?
26:15Still the same lying, manipulative...
26:17I'm dying, Jack.
26:21I found a lump.
26:24I'm dying.
26:25I'm dying.
