00:00I've got some plans for your engagement entertainment.
00:02Instead of Jack doing his Sinatra show and boring everyone,
00:05I could do some of yours and Steve's favourite tracks.
00:12Get in!
00:12Sully's got my Vicky.
00:14Dodge says there's a threat outside and we need to stay away from the windows.
00:17Another instruction.
00:18It is.
00:20No.
00:21Tell Sully he'll do exactly what he wants.
00:23They've gone!
00:25Sully bought the stage fighters we sent him.
00:27So he thinks the Smithy's dead.
00:28But the Super one's answers.
00:30But once he knows what we've been through, he's going to back us.
00:32I'm sorry. I really am.
00:33But you're on your own.
00:35I want to be the father that you deserve.
00:37How would you feel if I came to live with you in Switzerland?

02:28you
02:29and him and sully are all working together no i was the one that sent sully down and if i
02:35was working
02:35with smithy why'd i have spent after yesterday trying to bring him in if you weren't working

02:43save multiple lives sully orchestrated this entire thing from inside you shouldn't be questioning me
02:50you should be searching his prison cell prison cell because of your antics you're now under
02:56investigation for corruption which means that all your recent cases are being reviewed by professional
03:02standards and if that wasn't bad enough sully's witnesses have flipped so that means that the
03:09charges against him are going to get dropped and his law is pushing to get him released today

10:01I can tell.
10:02Back to your best.
10:03Too, too.
10:07I need to tell you something.
10:09Erm, I had a bit of a day yesterday.
10:13The sort of day that makes you reassess everything.
10:18Hey, there he is, the sneaky softie.
10:21It sure is.
10:22Why didn't you tell us he was here?
10:23What is going on?
10:24He's moving to Switzerland forever!
10:27I cannot believe that you thought that writing a letter to your mother was a good enough
10:32goodbye instead of a proper face to face!
10:35Sorry.
10:38Come here.
10:40Oh.
10:42I love you.
10:43I love you too.
10:46Do you know what, mate, I am so grateful.
10:49All the things that you've done for me, not just that mess with Smithy.
10:52You are more than my cousin, you are my brother.
10:55A proper role model.
10:56The way that you're reconnecting with Matthew, being a proper dad to him.
11:01I just wish I could do the same.
11:03You will.
11:04You're a good man.
11:05Come here.
11:05Come on.
11:07Come on.
11:11Good luck, Cos.
11:12I'm gonna miss you.
11:14I'm gonna miss you too.
11:15Hey, we're all gonna miss you, aren't we?
11:18Come on.
11:20I didn't want to join you at Scrum anyway, cos I just ruined my mascara.
11:24Come on, you.
11:25Come on.
11:28Come.
11:31When I was born and the Queen, I felt like I won the jackpot.
11:37No.
11:38It was us who won the jackpot.
11:42Look, I haven't got long. My taxi's gonna be due in a minute, but...
11:46I'd better wrap this up.
11:48I mean it, though.
11:50I'm the luckiest guy in the world.
11:55Come here.
12:20I know, I know, I know.
12:22We're a bit behind on the set-up, Diane, but I'll be back in ten minutes.
12:26Ah.
12:27Fifteen.
12:28Topped.
12:45Right, then.
12:47You're gonna be late for your meeting, so...
12:49You can wait.
12:55For always trying to calm my mind.
12:58And my fists at times.
13:03You have always been there for me.
13:07Poor little inconsistent man I've ever had in my life.
13:10And now you need to be there for your little man.
13:14Matthew is so lucky to have you.
13:20And I need to do all this on my own.
13:24Huh?
13:25Cause them law are about as much use as a butter knife for mistake.
13:29Yeah.
13:33Keep your phone close, yeah?
13:37Cause I might just need you.
13:44Oh, I love you.
13:46I love you, too.
13:50Come visit me any time.
13:52Mm-hmm.
13:52Yeah, Switzerland's lovely.
13:53We got, erm, snow and mountains and cheese.
13:57We can reminisce about old times at the Matterhorn.
14:00That sounds terrible.
14:01Does sound terrible.
14:04Go on.
14:06Bob.
14:10Vodkis.
14:12Vodkis.
14:13Vodkis.
14:16Vodkis.
14:19Well...
14:20I'm so sorry, son.
14:23What are you sorry for?
14:26Because when you were first born...
14:29...you was as bright as a bun.
14:33And you deserved the world, and I couldn't give it you.
14:37You gave me the best thing that any parent can give a child.
14:43You made me feel loved.
14:47Yes, you're so loved.
14:50And you still are.
14:52You're so precious.
14:54And I'm so proud of the man you are today.
14:59Everything you've had to overcome.
15:06There are some things in life you never imagine you'll have to face.
15:15Some things you feel like you'll never be able to move past.
15:19Get up.
15:20No, no, no, get up!
15:21No, no!
15:21Shut up!
15:22Fuck you, Gemma!
15:24Big man with a gun, aren't you?
15:29But you...
15:30Please, what are you?
15:31I'm calling the shots here!
15:33Get down!
15:34You've had to deal with the toughest stuff this world can throw at a person.
15:46I'm scared.
15:48What are you scared of?
15:50It's Matthew.
15:51What if I let him down?
15:53What if I fail him?
15:56You won't fail him.
16:00You are turning your world upside down.
16:03To be the best parent.
16:07You do anything you can for that boy.
16:11I'll do my best.
16:14You'll do better.
16:16You're the finest man in the entire world, John Paul McQueen.
16:22I've been the best I've ever met and ever will.
16:31God, I love you.
16:32I love you, son.
16:38You take care of me.
16:40I need to catch mercy.
16:42What?
16:43Come on.

17:20And now what? You're a support act?
17:21You would.
17:23Did you really say that, Darren?
17:24No.
17:24I never said that.
17:26As such.
17:28That I spoke to Rex, right?
