00:00It's not that it is one of you.
00:03I can't believe it's one of you.
00:06I can't believe it's one of you.
00:10I can't believe it's all.
00:14You can't believe it's one.
00:18I can't believe it's one thing.
00:23I'm going to believe it's my husband to shoot again.
00:27Sam!
00:37Sorry, I can't go.
00:57I can't go.
01:27What are you doing?
01:38Nigel.
01:41Claire.
01:57You all right?
02:00I've got to be in the library all day.
02:02Can you spare five minutes?
02:03There's just something I want to talk through here.
02:05I've got to go.
02:08You'd hide away in that library forever if you could.
02:11What are you doing?
02:15You ain't got more than a fiver in here, have you?
02:17Harry, what are you doing?
02:19Darling, this has got to stop.
02:20Look, I know going to Oaky's wake was hard, all right,
02:23but you can't keep going round and round like this.
02:25It'll be the last time, I promise.
02:26That's what they all say.
02:27How can you do this?
02:29Your dad is...
02:30Look, once it goes to trial, he'll get off.
02:32And then he'll be home.
02:34Just help me out, okay?
02:37Or I'll have to tell George about that bun you've got in the oven.
02:40Tee's up.
03:04I wish you'd have phoned me.
03:07Told me you was coming.
03:10Your mum would be ashamed of me
03:17for letting us drift apart like that.
03:21You deserved so much better than me, Claire.
03:31Listen.
03:33Listen.
03:34You are the kindest man that I have ever met.
03:37Do you know that?
03:37When I was a little girl,
03:40everyone else just treated me like I was a nuisance,
03:42but not you.
03:43No, you've always took the time to talk to me.
03:46And...
03:47But now, um...
03:49I've really got to go.
03:51Okay?
03:52Listen, I can help her after school and in the holidays as well.
04:04You're a good boy, Denzel.
04:06There's always people in need over Christmas
04:08and many hands make light work.
04:10Yeah, well, um, I've got to check my diary, you know,
04:13cos, you know, I've got social events.
04:21Dad's staying at a mate's house.
04:23Oh, yeah.
04:25He tried calling me and texting me.
04:28Oh.
04:28I suppose I know what to say to her.
04:36I will get to school anyway.
04:37See you later.
04:39See you.
04:40Martin.
04:42See you later.
04:45He shouldn't be feeling guilty.
04:47He didn't do anything wrong.
04:49It was Howie.
04:49Well, it's father and son.
04:52It can be complicated.
04:55Why does it feel like you're not just talking about Howie and Denzel?
05:02Who would have thought that?
05:05Mr. Perfect Dr. Truman has a restraining order against him.
05:11Chelsea would have torn him into shreds if she was here.
05:14That's what she said to Denise.
05:15He is Patrick's son, Keir.
05:18Until we know the whole truth.
05:19He deserves our support.
05:22And Kim,
05:23there is no shame in admitting that you miss Howie, you know.
05:42Ah, Lauren!
05:44You're well busted.
05:46Excuse me?
05:47Excuse me?
05:48Yeah, yeah.
05:50Mum dumps both kids on her babysitter and takes her day off work so she can, er, what?
05:54Hang around and do nothing all day.
05:56Right, well, first of all, Peter is their dad, so he's not exactly babysitting, is he?
06:00Is he?
06:00And second of all, you know, I am allowed a little bit of time on my own, you know?
06:05Self-care is a thing, even for mums.
06:06Mm-hm, so you're not sneaking off to buy my birthday present then?
06:10Yeah, right, as if.
06:12Eighteenths ain't even really important anymore, you know, it's just, it's not really a big deal, it's more about 21st, it's even 16th.
06:21Just keep your nose out of my business, all right?
06:23I told you, I don't want anything, Lauren.
06:27Yeah, yeah.
06:27For real!
06:32Oh, Zoe!
06:32Oh, listen, I'd love to catch up, it's been years.
06:37Let's do brunch sometime.
06:38Yeah?
06:39You didn't seem too surprised to see me.
06:42Well, bad pennies show up, that's what we do.
06:44Thing is, I've been having some trouble.
06:46Someone's been making threats, trying to mess with my life.
06:49And then out of the blue, here you are.
06:52Well, like I'd come all the way from Spain, for you.
06:55So you don't mind if I run and tell Phil I've seen you then?
07:01All right, five minutes.
07:03But not here.
07:11All right?
07:12Yeah, you all right, mate?
07:16I think I might ask Claire to the filming.
07:19Oh, it's nice of you, by the way.
07:22Thank you for letting her have all that money.
07:25Money?
07:25What?
07:26What money?
07:27What are you talking about?
07:28From the, um...
07:34I, um...
07:35I didn't ask Claire what she wanted it for.
07:39I thought she might be in trouble.
07:41It can't have been Claire, all right?
07:43You haven't seen her for years.
07:44This woman, what does she look like?
07:48Blonde.
07:49I'm middle-aged.
07:54Look, I've got things to do, all right?
07:55So if you've got something to say, can you just say it?
07:58Someone's been stalking me.
08:00Well, it ain't me.
08:01Are you sure?
08:02You got fooled for trying to ruin my life.
08:03Yeah, and I feel bad for the way that I treated you in the past, but it wasn't personal.
08:08Look, I'm here to sort my own life out, right?
08:11Not mess with yours.
08:13You're lying.
08:14You're up to something.
08:16Do you know, it sounds like you've been getting nothing but hassle since you've been back.
08:20So why are you still here?
08:21If I asked about you a couple of times when Cat and Phil were playing happy families, I got the impression that you and her weren't exactly in touch.
08:31Look, I get it, right?
08:33Families, they're not all they're cracked up to be.
08:35Time was, Phil would have done anything for me, but now, look, just tell me the truth.
08:43Why are you here?
08:43Why now?
08:44Because you showing up ain't no coincidence.
08:47Not everything is about you, sweetheart.
08:50Me and Ricky, all right?
08:51That's all I care about.
08:55We're not that different, you and me.
08:58We never were.
09:00Whoever's got it in for you, it ain't me.
09:05I've been knocking your door down.
09:22Your boy said it'd be here.
09:23Whoever's got your knickers in a twist, I ain't got time for it.
09:25Yeah, well, you better make time.
09:27Because I'm a middle-aged blonde bird, nicked 20 grand out of my safe this morning.
09:30So what, you got some scamp going, eh?
09:32You trying to get Teddy off the hook or something?
09:33If all it took was money, don't you think I'd have done it by now?
09:37It wasn't me.
09:39I mean, I can't be the only blonde in your life.
09:45Here, Cota.
09:46Look at this.
09:47Poor Harry.
09:48Yeah.
09:49Give me a tap on him.
09:50Thanks a word of his dad.
09:53I've got to get to work.
09:55Sure.
09:56Er, Kwame?
09:56Yeah?
09:57Could you check on him for me?
09:58Of course.
10:02Jean, you can't keep doing this, all right?
10:04I've got enough on my plate without doing your job and all.
10:07Call me back, please.
10:09Just talk to me.
10:09All right, you old slapper.
10:18Ha!
10:19Know your name, then?
10:21Oh, it's good to see you found your level, Kat.
10:23Sweeping up other people's faggings.
10:25I own the boozer now, so don't bother popping in.
10:28You put your stamp on the place yet?
10:30I go into the ladies, am I going to find it stacked with a pile of leopard print bob roll?
10:33Last time I saw you, you ruined my marriage.
10:37Oh, come on.
10:38I did you a favour.
10:39And you know it.
10:41Who wants to be married to a pound of bacon for the rest of their life?
10:45Anyway, there's a lot to be said for being single.
10:46It weren't your decision to make, and I ain't single.
10:49I married Alfie again.
10:51Well, I'll say one thing for you, Kat.
10:53You do like her greatest hits album.
10:56Please don't tell me you're brave enough to mess with my family again.
11:00Well, Zoe.
11:02I got bigger fish to fry.
11:04Ripping someone off on the run.
11:06It's either one or the other with you.
11:07Oh, it's been lovely chatting, Kat.
11:09It really has, but I've got to go now.
11:11I've got an airport lounge and complimentary cocktails with my name on them.
11:15Woo!
11:18All right.
11:19So where'd you get all that, then?
11:23Oi! Oi!
11:26She went that way.
11:28The wrong one.
11:33Oh, hello, darling.
11:35Listen, I really need to see you.
11:37Okay?
11:37Can I come in?
11:50What is it, George?
11:59Cojo wanted me checking on you.
12:01We saw the paper.
12:03Look, it's going to be tough on you.
12:04We know that, but it sounds like...
12:06Said he's trying to do the right thing.
12:09Meaning what?
12:10What are you talking about?
12:11Well, pleading guilty.
12:13What?
12:15No, you wouldn't do that.
12:16What are you talking about?
12:17Well, I just read it.
12:18I mean, it seems you knew.
12:19But I'm sorry.
12:20I wouldn't have come round if I realised you.
12:22No!
12:25No, what do you mean?
12:26There's meant to be a trial!
12:29No, what do you mean?
12:30There's been a cure!
12:30There's meant to be a trial, George!
12:32Listen.
12:33No!
12:34Sentence tomorrow.
12:35No.
12:35Come here.
12:36Just watch.
12:37Just hang on.
12:39Two family businesses opening in as many weeks.
12:42Wolf is not going to know what's hitting.
12:43Yep, everyone's excited.
12:44Mum sent me a posth new tie that I'm absolutely never going to wear.
12:48Lee sent me a thumbs-up emoji.
12:50That meant a lot.
12:51And Nancy called me big-headed
12:53because I named my business after myself twice.
12:56So...
12:56Your dad would be so proud of you.
13:02I'm sorry Callum's not here, darling.
13:05He called.
13:06He said good luck.
13:07Anyway, he said he'd take Lexi to see Bernice.
13:10So, no, so...
13:11Well, we can still party.
13:14Let's do it.
13:15Come on.
13:18Mum!
13:20There he is.
13:22Come in, darling.
13:25Look over you.
13:26Come on.
13:30You want to slow down?
13:32No bloke is worth drowning your sorrows over.
13:34True that.
13:35True that.
13:36And if it ain't good vibes, you know what I'm interested?
13:38Because I know my value.
13:41Yeah?
13:41Zoe knows her value.
13:43Yeah?
13:43I'm good for her.
13:45Turns out that Annie ain't all that.
13:48Tell me something I don't know.
13:49Well, I don't think you know that his divorce
13:52wasn't exactly a common old garden break-up.
13:55And how's that?
13:55Well, his wife, ex-wife, whatever you want to call her,
14:00she got a restraining order against him.
14:03Yes.
14:03And Zoe found out, packed up her bags,
14:06and blocked him on everything.
14:10The man's been moping ever since.
14:13And where's she gone?
14:14Well, I don't know.
14:15I'm not a keeper.
14:15You're a mum, innit?
14:16Can I have a word with you?
14:19I've got any donations for the Christmas soup kitchen.
14:22Yeah, yeah, ask Alfie.
14:25I know people have busy lives, you know, but...
14:27Do you know that it was this time last year
14:31that I found Nigel?
14:34Lord knows.
14:36Who is going to be the poorest soul
14:38that I need to help this year?
14:422,000 quid!
14:44Yeah, yeah!
14:46I beg your pardon?
14:47I'm sitting in my car,
14:49and Lauren texted me to say
14:50she could get around 2,000 pounds.
14:52So, the soup kitchen
14:54can have all of it!
14:56All of it!
14:57All of it!
14:58Listen, I don't want anything more
15:00to do with Harry, yeah?
15:01Anything connected, I don't want it.
15:03I want your good vibes, yeah?
15:05Peace and love.
15:07Hallelujah!
15:08Ja!
15:10Rastafari!
15:12Let's go!
15:13Get up to it, them toilets!
15:16Wasn't Jean supposed to clean them this morning?
15:18Don't tell me.
15:19OK, right, she hasn't come in, actually.
15:20What is the point?
15:21But Zoe's moved out of Anthony's,
15:23and I don't know where she's gone.
15:24She's ignoring my calls, my texts, everything.
15:26Well, I thought you weren't going to give them space.
15:27That was the whole idea about her moving out.
15:28She's trying to protect us
15:29from whoever's doing all this.
15:31I can still worry about her.
15:32I'm still her mum.
15:33Kat, I know, I know, sweetheart.
15:34She's a grown woman,
15:37but for what it's worth,
15:37I think she's just, you know,
15:39just back off a little bit, yeah?
15:41Oh, it stinks!
15:45Here we go.
15:46Here, drink this.
15:51It's all right.
15:52Feeling better.
15:58Did you ever hurt someone?
16:01Yeah, frankly.
16:03Not that I'm proud of it, but...
16:07Where's this coming from?
16:09No, no.
16:11I saw a man get beaten to death once.
16:22I was just a kid, but...
16:25Turned out the man...
16:27The victim...
16:29Well...
16:31It was my real dad.
16:35It was complicated.
16:37Sorry, I didn't know.
16:39Of course not, brother.
16:46Listen.
16:48Here.
16:49Sure.
16:51My point is...
16:53I grew up with a dad who I knew was capable of doing terrible things.
17:01Violent things.
17:02And when you were there, son,
17:05it's hard not to think you're going to do the same.
17:08But you have to learn to separate yourself from them.
17:11My dad...
17:12has done nothing but look out for me my whole life.
17:18And now he's going to spend years inside for something he didn't even do.
17:23Hang on, I mean...
17:24Of course you want to think the best of him, but if he's pleading guilt...
17:29He's only doing that because he thinks he has to.
17:35To protect me.
17:36What were you saying?
17:44I didn't want to.
17:47I was just trying to save Kojo.
17:52So...
17:53So Kojo is in danger, eh?
17:59You did this.
18:02You killed Okie.
18:03It was an accident.
18:09I panicked.
18:11My dad said that he'd sought it and I...
18:14I let him...
18:15There was no evidence.
18:17I thought that he'd get off.
18:20Harry, Harry.
18:23I watched...
18:25what happened to my dad.
18:27I was just a kid.
18:29But like I said...
18:31I just watched.
18:33And even though I didn't know the whole story...
18:35I still felt terrible guilt.
18:39So right now you have to make a decision.
18:41Do you understand?
18:45Either you let your guilt drag you down even further than you already are.
18:49Or...
18:51You have to find a...
18:53a new way through this.
18:57No matter how hard it is.
18:58I didn't even say you were coming.
19:11Well, it was all so last minute and...
19:13Anyway, you know me.
19:15I'll go where the wind takes me.
19:17I've texted you.
19:19Just leave me on read.
19:24Did you get that video I sent you of Charlie last week?
19:26I mean, she's so chatty now.
19:28It's amazing.
19:30Last time you saw her, she was just this little thing.
19:32And now she's like a proper human.
19:35I just love her so much.
19:36I know you wish that I was more like other mums.
19:40Yeah?
19:40Nagging at you to pick up your dirty socks and...
19:43Showing up to be.
19:45Yeah.
19:46Yeah, I should have done things differently.
19:49A lot differently.
19:50I really wish I had it in me to be the mum that you deserve with me.
19:56But you're all right.
19:57Look, I know I ain't been enough.
20:00But that don't mean I don't love you.
20:02I'm so proud of you, darling.
20:04Look at you.
20:06You've got so much potential, you know?
20:08You can do anything.
20:10Go anywhere you want in your life.
20:12Take Charlie with you.
20:13Why not?
20:13Why are you talking like this?
20:17Because there's things I need to tell you.
20:18And that's why I came over, because I wanted to tell you in person.
20:24Don't worry, everything's going to be all right.
20:27I'm going to make sure that your future's set up.
20:30No matter what.
20:32No matter what?
20:33What's that supposed to mean?
20:36Do you know the best thing that a parent can give a kid?
20:39It's a leg up.
20:41Money.
20:42And a lot of it...
20:42Mum, I don't want your money.
20:43No, I don't mean for now.
20:45I'm going to put it in an account and it's going to earn you interest.
20:48And then, when you decide what you want to do with your life, you'll be there.
20:55I ain't giving you much.
20:58Please, just let me give you this.
20:59If you're looking for Zoe, she ain't here.
21:12And thanks to you, my family's been torn apart.
21:15Thanks to me?
21:16How'd you get there?
21:17She's accused Tommy of being her stalker.
21:20But I know better, yeah?
21:22It's funny how this all started after you showed up.
21:25Zoe ain't that into you, so the best way to keep her close is to keep her scared, yeah?
21:28Do you think a man like me would mess about painting scary messages?
21:32As far as I can see, she wants nothing to do with you.
21:35So take the hint and knock this on the head, yeah?
21:38Or I'll make sure that you don't get off with a restraining order this time.
21:41What the hell are you doing here?
21:55That'd be nice.
21:56No, no, no.
21:56Just dropping in here, like getting him to skip school.
21:59What do you want this time?
22:01I'll just ignore him, OK?
22:02I came here because I wanted to see you.
22:04Now I've done that, I've got to go.
22:07You can't just go.
22:08You haven't even seen Charlie yet.
22:10I mean, why don't you just come round for dinner?
22:12Darling, listen, I'd love to, all right?
22:14But I can't.
22:15If I go to the airport now, I might be able to blag myself a cheap flight back to Spain.
22:19Yeah?
22:19All right, then.
22:22You are the only good thing that I've done with my life.
22:26Just know that.
22:27She was talking about sending me money, but putting it in an account for me when I'm older.
22:41She's probably spitting you a line, isn't she, concerns about the boy?
22:44No, Dad, I'm serious.
22:46She was acting really weird.
22:48Acting like she was never going to see me again or something.
22:57What are you doing here?
23:02What have you said to him?
23:03He's telling me everything.
23:05About saving Kojo, killing Okie.
23:09But you should be proud of him.
23:10Because at least he knows the difference between right and wrong.
23:14Are you ready?
23:15Let's go.
23:16All right, go home.
23:18Go where?
23:19I can't let Dad do this.
23:22Were you ever going to tell me?
23:23Of course I was.
23:24When the time was right.
23:26Nicola, you lied to the police.
23:28You're letting an innocent man go down.
23:30Doesn't that matter to you?
23:32Harry, I've got that money.
23:33You know, the cash that you want it.
23:35Whoa, whoa.
23:36You're giving him money for drugs.
23:37Harry, you told me the truth off your own back.
23:43No one forced you.
23:44So you have to ask yourself why.
23:47Because of my Dad.
23:48Yeah.
23:49So what sort of man did he teach you to be?
23:51The sort of man that stands up or the sort of man that runs away?
23:54That's easy enough for you to say.
23:55When it isn't your kid facing the dock.
23:57If it was Junior, Gina or Anna, I would say the same thing.
24:00Yeah, say the same thing.
24:01Or do the same thing.
24:04Look, darling.
24:05You haven't thought this through, all right?
24:06What about your brother?
24:07How's he going to cope with you inside?
24:08And you've got to think about what your Dad wants.
24:09Just shift up for a minute and let me think.
24:16They'll put me on remand, won't they?
24:18Yeah, probably.
24:19Remand?
24:19Why are you even thinking about that?
24:21I'll pack a change of clothes.
24:22No, Harry.
24:24Don't do this.
24:26Please.
24:29Darling, I'm begging you.
24:33I'm sorry, Mum.
24:34Hey, it's a bit early for the hard stuff.
24:57Listen, son, I...
25:02Nobody knows better than me that relationships, they ain't easy.
25:08The marriages break up.
25:09People say things they don't really mean.
25:11Oh, I know, I know, I know.
25:12It ain't as simple as that.
25:14You don't know anything!
25:15So just back off!
25:27Harry, how are you going to cope in prison?
25:29Oki's got mates, they'll have you on day one.
25:31Nicola, don't.
25:32Look, if you do this, it won't just be you that goes down.
25:35Me and your Dad will be done for conspiracy.
25:37Perverting the course of justice.
25:38You lied, so it's your problem.
25:40And yours.
25:41What are you talking about?
25:41If he does this, I'll be having your baby in prison.
25:46What?
25:48I'm pregnant.
25:55Sam!
25:57Come here.
26:01Ricky said you offered him some money.
26:02Why?
26:04Is it a lie?
26:05Or are you just messing with his head?
26:07Of course not.
26:08So you are trying to buy him, then?
26:09Get him to love you for your money.
26:11Because there ain't much else to love you for, is there?
26:13Oh, that's a bit harsh, Jack.
26:14He was scared.
26:15He says you're talking to him like you might not ever see him again.
26:19All right, he's worried.
26:20Because he's a little boy with a big R.
26:22Me on the other hand, I'm older and wiser.
26:25You're up to something, aren't you?
26:26You're in trouble.
26:27What are you doing?
26:29Well, you scammed someone out of something.
26:30Now they're coming after you.
26:32Hey, for what?
26:33What, are you planning to scam?
26:34Someone and what, you think you might go wrong?
26:36You're unbelievable, you are.
26:38You don't change, do you?
26:40You're still the same lying, manipulative...
26:42I'm dying, Jack.
26:45I found a lump.
26:49I'm dying.
