00:01Well, the good news is you've got your planning.
00:03Really? Oh, thank you.
00:04And they're going to want to move our tree.
00:07You can trust me. You're naked.
00:09Just do what you need to do.
00:11You have to trust me.
00:12If we don't have that, what have we got?
00:14Oh, and can you move your camera away from looking at our house?
00:17I'm a lawyer. It invades our privacy.
00:20Shame! Makes interesting viewing.
00:21Yeah, why would you say all that? I thought we were mates.

02:48Superstitious, are you?
02:50Oh, yeah.
02:50Listen, we're gonna need a decision about next door's tree. He's digging down a metre, but without moving it, he's
02:57gonna have to dig down another 50 centimetres minimum.
02:59And that's gonna cost you an extra two grand, I'm afraid.
03:02Well, you've been here a week and already the money's going up.
03:05Your call.

07:55yes i'll pay extra money for the ditch
07:58you said nothing about cash lee you did not look up i gotta go i'll discuss it later
08:07you always were a little stress ball that's my builder he wants pain in cash of course he does
08:13yeah but it's tens of thousands of pounds so pay himself in cash and some above board and he'll
08:18work harder for you if you do well he'll work harder for me if i allow him not to pay
08:23tax
08:24it's what made this country great what criminals and tax avoiders entrepreneurs kid entrepreneurs
08:32just what do you need me for dad how's the bill going apart from the cash thing yeah it's going
08:40any issues no apart from the neighbors well there's nothing the neighbors can do now you have planning
08:49that this is all above board isn't it and when we are just pushing the process along we're not
08:54changing the outcomes you think those two things are different you're adorable dad
09:02i need you to sign something for me from a partner for what we're buying a site in the city
09:10center and
09:11he's still raising the cash i need somebody to say i'm good for the money it's a vouch for me
09:15so we
09:15move things on but why do you need me don't you know anyone else my solicitor backdated some property
09:24documents to avoid a penalty so he got struck off and we need to do this quickly you did that
09:30for
09:30you emma we need to move fast on this all right but just to be clear when you say vouch
09:35you mean
09:36underwrite guarantee the money there's nothing to worry about oh sure you just want me to vouch for
09:42someone whose previous solicitor got struck off for breaking the law i'm asking you to vouch for
09:46your father which is a big ask as it's you it isn't illegal there's barely an issue the money's as
09:55good
09:56as there well just wait for it then if we stall we lose the site and trust me this one
10:02is a game changer
10:03oh well they always are aren't they dad yeah what what about this business partner can't he find
10:09a guarantor and how can i trust him or you he got you you're planning trust isn't really the issue
10:20so i owe him
10:24john will divorce me if he finds out
10:27so it's a win-win then i could lose my house you won't lose anything happens all the time
10:36i wouldn't ask but uh we did you a favor and i need this to happen fast
10:45what if i don't you will
11:08um did i hear you say decaf

12:38you know
12:40i could never do what my dad does actually i could now he does nothing he's unemployed

24:18Um, it's not much.
24:21Really?
24:21There's no need.
24:22No, I want you to have it.
24:27Seriously, don't worry about it.
24:28It's never going to last forever.
24:29Well, you're very kind.
24:31Well, the more wine you bring, the kinder I get.
24:34Thanks.
24:35Alan, you, um, you haven't seen John, have you?
24:38No.
24:38I know you were helping him out earlier.
24:41I can't get hold of him.
24:43I've left him a message.
24:44It's just strange.
24:45He just, uh, just keeps doing this.
24:48Sorry, you don't need to know that.
24:51Um, thanks again for helping out and, uh, for putting up with the noise and, uh, yeah.
24:58Why don't you come in?
24:59I mean, it's certainly, and this wine wouldn't drink itself.
25:03Unless you've got something better to do.
25:06Yeah.
25:06I don't know.
25:37I've always loved those shelves.
25:39Where'd you get them?
25:40We didn't get them anyway.
25:43I did them.
25:44Seriously?
25:44Yeah.
25:46I used to be a chippy.
25:48Before I realised there was more money to be made than people's diminishing eyesight.
25:52Thank God for mobile phones and small typeface, that's what I say.
25:57Cheers.
25:57Cheers.
26:01Maybe we should get you to do ours.
26:03You know what I say.
26:05Never worked with mates and animals.
26:07No, it's children.
26:10Yeah, you're right.
26:11Mates and children.
26:17So, you said John's been disappearing.
26:21I shouldn't have said anything.
26:23You know he's gone through a hard time.
26:25He's probably just on one of his walks.
26:27Well, it's not easy leaving a job because of stress.
26:31Big decision.
26:32Especially at his age.
26:34He's lucky.
26:35He's got you.
26:38You know, good earner.
26:41Good earner.
26:42Oh, that's something to aspire to in a relationship.
26:45Sorry.
26:46Obviously, you are a lot more than that.
26:51I just meant...
26:53Sonia's been doing the same.
26:57What?
26:58Meetings, walking, shopping, disappearing.
27:03You're not worried about him, are you?
27:06You're not, like, properly worried.
27:08In what way?
27:09Well, what you might be up to.
27:12Oh, God, no.
27:13No, I was just...
27:15Just a bit worried, you know, when men talk to other men.
27:18You haven't met any men, have you?
27:24What about you?
27:25Are you worried about Sonia?
27:27Having an affair?
27:30Well, I wasn't thinking.
27:33All the time.
27:35Emma!
27:36Oh, dear God.
27:38Emma!
27:40There was no agreement to remove it.
27:42Just to move it.
27:44Don't you even speak English, man.
27:46Look, look, you.
27:47You put my bloody fence back.
27:49Oi, Derek, what's going on?
27:50There you are.
27:51Could you please control your damn builders?
27:53They're going to put it back.
27:54They just need to move it a bit.
27:55That's not what was agreed.
27:56Well, to be fair, Derek, you didn't agree on anything.
27:58No.
27:59Come on, you.
28:01Derek!
28:02Curve, the vehicle.
28:06You touch my tools again.
28:08I'll let him finish.
28:09Do you understand?
28:09Oh, aye.
28:11I'll be informing the council about this.
28:13And possibly the police.
28:15You have no idea what you have done here.
28:18Yeah, but you'll find out.
28:25Yeah, but you'll find out.
28:47I don't know.
29:22Andy.
29:23Hey, what's going on?
29:26Nothing much.
29:28Yeah, so like I said, I've just been pretty busy.
29:30I haven't had time to reply to a text or anything.
29:33What are you busy doing? Locking people up?
29:38Actually, you've inspired me. I'm taking photos.
29:41Oh, that's well exciting.
29:43None of them are as good as yours, of course.
29:45Shut up, I'm sure they are. When can I see them?
29:47I'll show you. When the time's right.
29:51Are you sure you're okay?
29:52Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
29:54Good.
29:55I'm looking forward to seeing you again.
29:58Me too.
29:58I'm looking forward to seeing you again.
29:59I'm looking forward to seeing you again.
30:26John why aren't you returning my calls? I'm cooking dinner for us. Beth's gonna
30:32join. Oh chicks! Seriously? Why don't you take your keys with you? And where have you been all day?
30:51Everyone happy on the good ship Barnet? What are you doing here? I can't come to
30:55visit my daughter and my granddaughter. No you can't actually because if John finds
30:59a human. Hear what? What happened to your hands? Nothing. You didn't reply to my text.
31:07Dad, do you know what it means for me if you default on this money? I'm so
31:12disappointed you can even say that. I'm your father. Yeah, that's what makes it
31:18worse. Yeah well either you trust me or you don't. Well if they're my only options.
31:24I brought another copy in case you've misplaced the contract. Grandad? Beth! Well, come on.
31:34Have you got a hug for your dear old grandad? What are you doing here? You are just like your
31:44mother.
31:44I came to say hello to my favourite granddaughter. I'm your only granddaughter.
31:53Wait, you have others? Your grandadad's had quite the life, Beth. Can you give us a few
31:59minutes? Sure. I missed your birthday. You missed more than one. Buy yourself something nice.
32:13Thanks, I guess. She's a chip off. If I sign this, will you leave? I don't know what it is
32:19I've done to you.
32:20You've done nothing but take. Mm-hmm. But I did do something I shouldn't have done. Planning people.
32:27Only have so many favours. And I've given you one of them. So you're not so clean now, Missy.
32:41I've got too much to lose. It's not worth the risk. Leave.
33:05Oh, shit.
33:09Oh, shit.
33:11My son.
33:48How do you feel about me deciding to do the chicken with pen and pesto, huh?
33:52That's lovely.
33:54I wasn't sure what you had in mind.
33:57You know, all the time you'd be back, so I just did something.
34:02It's really nice, huh?
34:05I spoke to Emma.
34:07Oh, yeah?
34:09I saw the builders have made some progress.
34:11They have.
34:13Although Derek's losing his shit.
34:15Yeah.
34:17Yeah, he spoke to me.
34:18He seems pretty desperate.
34:19Of course.
34:20They're getting ever closer to that dead body under the tree.
34:24For God's sake, Alan.
34:26Everyone was saying that she might like me to do some shelves.
34:30For the new kitchen.
34:32Is that a good idea?
34:33I'm a good chippy.
34:34Well, sure.
34:35But, I mean, they're our friends.
34:38What if they didn't like them?
34:39Wouldn't that be awkward?
34:40I think I know the kind of thing she likes.
34:44You do?
34:46Besides, John's my mate really much more than Emma is.
34:50She wouldn't feel awkward about telling me she doesn't like it.
34:53It'd be like you doing John a favour.
34:55I mean, you get on, but you're not really close.
35:00Sure.
35:02Yeah, you're right.
35:02Why not?
35:07This was really nice.
35:09What have you done?
35:09Yeah, I'm tired and I've got a bit of work to do.
35:13I'll wash up later there, so just leave it, yeah?
35:23I just don't know why you have to disappear for the day.
35:27I didn't disappear.
35:28I sent you a text message.
35:30Did you?
35:32I don't have a message.
35:36Is he serious?
35:38He's trying to wind us up.
35:39Yeah, well, he's succeeding.
35:40I hate jazz!
35:44I'm going to go and tell him.
35:45No, wait!
35:46Wait, you were telling me about your day.
35:48I can't say, really, with this racket.
35:49I just want to know what you got up to.
35:52Emma, I mean, I just...
35:55I just had to get away from the builders for a bit.
35:58They were doing my head in.
35:59Where did you go?
36:01For a walk.
36:02You know, a long walk.
36:04Like I used to.
36:05Oh, what, when you were 19?
36:09Look, the drilling, the digging, it just...
36:13John, what's going on?
36:16Nothing.
36:19I need to tell you...
36:21Ignore it!
36:32How was your day?
36:34Good.
36:36You do anything?
36:38See anyone?
36:42Well, I did see...
36:43You were showing me your photos, they're great.
36:46Oh, nice.
36:47I'm glad you're still doing that.
36:48You're good.
36:50Actually, I met someone.
36:52Someone who digs my work.
36:54Oh, right.
36:55What, a friend or...?
36:57Yeah, Mum.
36:58A friend.
36:59Okay.
37:00Well, that's lovely.
37:03Lovely.
37:04She's a copper.
37:06Oh.
37:07But she's nice.
37:09Well, some of them are nice.
37:13This is...
37:14I mean, what is wrong with him?
37:17Look, Derek went mad at Lee today about the fence.
37:20That's what this is all about.
37:21We can't put up with this.
37:22Lee was pretty scary, actually.
37:23I think he put the fear of God in him.
37:25Maybe that's just what he needs.
37:29Oh, that's her.
37:40Beth, are you okay?
37:53Oh, that's her.
37:55Oh, that's her.
38:08Oh, that's her.
38:10Oh, that's her.
38:12Oh, that's her.
38:13Oh, that's her.
38:14Oh, that's her.
38:14Oh, that's her.
38:15Oh, that's her.
38:15Oh, that's her.
38:15Oh, that's her.
38:15Oh, that's her.
38:15Oh, that's her.
38:18Oh, that's her.
38:21Oh, that's her.
38:37Ah, ah, ah! Don't even think about it.
38:42I'm warning you, woman.
38:51Turn it down!
38:53I thought you said to ignore it.
38:56Are you looking at his camera?
39:00Sod this. I'm going to Derek's.
39:01I saw some of Nick's footage.
39:05Whose?
39:07Nick's.
39:08Why?
39:09Thought I'd better see the evidence.
39:11Evidence?
39:15Of what?
39:17What do you think?
39:22I don't...
39:23The need for parking permits.
39:25Right.
39:27And? Did you see anything?
39:29Anything?
39:33What?
39:57They've gone.
39:58Whoever it was is...
40:23Two for joy.
40:46Sonia?
40:49You okay?
40:51Hey, did you hear a noise?
40:57Sonia?
41:24Sonia?
41:25Three for a girl, four for a boy. What does this mean?
41:27It means there's three more to go before.
41:29Before what?
41:30A secret never to be told.
41:31Why are you lying to me?
41:33No, I'm not...
41:33Just stop it! Stop lying!
41:35What are you gonna do, huh?
41:37You're gonna kill me, like you killed your son, Marcus.
41:39What have you done?
41:40I loved you.
41:43That's all I've ever done.
41:45You said let me go!
41:50Everything's gone, Dad. Everything's gone.
41:53If you've done anything to her, I will kill you.
42:20I'm not saying maybe you will.
42:22I'm not saying what happens to her.
42:24he told me he goes,
42:24So I went!
42:24I listened to him!
