00:00Your cousin cost me a whole batch of steroids.
00:03Still, what are you doing messing around with drugs?
00:06It's an invite to mine and Rex's engagement party.
00:10Seen sense, so we won't have the clash.
00:12No, no, no. Same date. We've just changed your venue.
00:15Yeah, you've not handed your invites out of here.
00:18I'm going to be Vicky's new business partner.
00:20Vicky's very lucky to have a big sister like you.
00:22Have you not heard?
00:23You little sister's backed herself a year-long modelling contract.
00:26What?
00:26I need to put the pressure up on Warren. I want to watch it burn.
00:41We'll see you in the next episode.
00:41Hey!
01:09I'm ready for my close-up.
01:12Oh, cheer up.
01:13Stehe knew exactly what he was doing.
01:15The question is, what are you going to do about it?
01:28Oscar, what's this?
01:31Look, as far as I'm concerned,
01:33anyone who brings police to our door
01:35don't deserve a seat at this table.
01:39Look, I'm talking to you.
01:46What, you and Donnie going into business together?
01:50Right, legs or boobs,
01:53cos I want to look sophisticated but not like a nun.
01:55He was bragging to Dylan about today being just a formality.
01:58Why are you making a big song and dance about what you're wearing?
02:00Well, I wasn't bragging, was I?
02:02I was just excited.
02:03What?
02:04About your face being on a couple of bus stops in Chester?
02:06Hardly Paris Fashion Week, is it?
02:08Well, no, not yet.
02:09But if Miles signs me, then it could be, couldn't it?
02:11You had plans to take over the salon.
02:13A proper career.
02:13I'm sorry, but modelling is a proper career.
02:16I don't want to be sweeping up manky hair off the floor, do I?
02:18And besides, why are you being such an energy vampire?
02:20Do you know what?
02:21I am done indulging your childish fantasies.
02:23It's your life.
02:24Do what you want.
02:25Get lost, yeah.
02:29You should have come to me.
02:30Anything could have happened.
02:31I know.
02:32I'm sorry.
02:32All right, go on.
02:33We'll finish this later.
02:41Hey.
02:41Hey.
02:42Can you believe I found a vial of steroids in Oscar's bag this morning?
02:46What?
02:46He's adamant that nobody gave it to him.
02:48He said he found it in one of the classrooms.
02:50Have you noticed any of the pupils acting suspiciously?
02:53Anyone with, you know, extra money, new phone, expensive trainers?
02:58No, no, nothing.
02:59It's just so terrifying to think that Oscar or any people
03:02could be exposed to drugs like that here.
03:06Again.
03:07Lance, I'm so sorry.
03:09Well, it's not your fault.
03:10But I'm going to have to do a risk assessment
03:11as part of the school's safeguarding procedure.
03:14Talk to the other teachers, inform the parents.
03:16Do you think that's really necessary?
03:17I mean, you know, we could just keep our eyes open
03:20and, you know, deal with it in-house.
03:22A bit late for that.
03:23I've already called the police to hand over the evidence.
03:25Let's hope they discover who this disgusting little drug pusher is.
03:33Miss Wood, did you get the ingredients for that de-bloating smoothie?
03:36Because I need it before my cast did.
03:40Look, I'm...
03:41I'm sorry I didn't clear the pizza thing with you first.
03:43Donny was just so excited.
03:45I can back out.
03:47I don't want to upset you.
03:48Dylan, it's fine.
03:51With your help, it's bound to be a success.
03:55See?
03:57Miz was happy for my dad, even though he's done her dirty.
04:00But, Gemma, I mean, come on,
04:02what happened to women building each other up
04:03instead of tearing them down?
04:04What kind of sister doesn't support your dreams?
04:07I tell you, the jealous kind.
04:09I'm sure that's not the issue here.
04:12I think Miz was right.
04:14No, because she was all like,
04:15oh, strike out on your own, Vicky,
04:17follow your dreams, Vicky,
04:18and then when it actually comes down to it,
04:19then she just couldn't care less.
04:20Stop being such an ungrateful little madam.
04:24Stop shouting, aren't we?
04:25You have no idea what your sister's done for you.
04:30What do you mean?
04:32She's purchased the lease on the salon
04:35so you two could go into business together.
04:39Oh, does that fuck one of them out of yours
04:41ever have a day off?
04:42Yeah, well, Mercy was stupid enough
04:44to not make you put your wellies on
04:45while you two were getting brisker.
04:48What's going on with them knuckles, eh?
04:52Didn't get them playing with dollies, did you?
04:54Me getting nicked for that armed robbery
04:55was a load of nonsense.
04:57You know it, and so do they.
05:00Hello? Who's that?
05:02Hey, what do you think about this?
05:04Present for my dodger on Valentine's Day.
05:06You what?
05:07I'm on my way.
05:09What's wrong?
05:10My club in Liverpool was sat on fire.
05:15See? Told you.
05:17Pell, I don't think that Steve
05:19would deliberately sabotage our engagement party.
05:22Well, I do.
05:23That little weasel was handing out invitation
05:25like sweets to everyone on our guest list,
05:27including you.
05:28Well, I didn't know it was clashing with our party.
05:31However,
05:32I've got a lovely treat lined up for you
05:34on St Valentine's Day.
05:35Oh, Vicky,
05:37did you find me get the invitation
05:39I slipped through the door this morning?
05:40Er, yeah,
05:41but we're already going to Steam Rex's that day.
05:43Sorry.
05:45Sort it out,
05:46or there won't be an engagement to celebrate.
05:50Oh, hi, Zoe.
05:51So glad you called.
05:53Is little Theo with you?
05:59Scriven?
06:00No.
06:01I've had a couple of meetings,
06:02but I'm doing the rest of my work at home.
06:04Oh.
06:05Mizpah told me about the salon.
06:07Mizpah's got a big mouth.
06:09Why didn't you say anything?
06:14I planned to.
06:16I had the contract in my hand,
06:17but
06:18you were on cloud nine about your scouting,
06:20so I just...
06:22made me look like a selfish cow.
06:25It was a bad idea.
06:27Like, neither of us have any experience
06:28in running a beauty salon.
06:30Well, with the amount of money that we spend there,
06:32you'd have thought that we'd be experts.
06:36Can you get your money right?
06:37It's not about the money.
06:39I did this to support you.
06:40I never got the chance to be a big sister growing up,
06:42but
06:44you're more excited about modelling.
06:46I get it.
06:48Well, maybe I can do both.
06:50Seriously?
06:51Mm.
06:52Yeah.
06:53They still got the keys?
06:54I mean, there's no harm in checking it out, is there?
06:56Oh!
07:00Hey.
07:01What's up, Bill?
07:02I think Nancy's blown this all out of proportion,
07:04to be honest.
07:05Thanks for coming.
07:06I've spoken to the people involved,
07:08and I'm reassured that they found their vile of drugs
07:10in the classroom.
07:11Kids will say anything to get out to see in the headmaster.
07:13Headteacher,
07:14and I believe them.
07:15Hey, more of an evil steroids.
07:17Have they turned up elsewhere, though?
07:18Yeah, we recently busted a cooking operation,
07:20but these gangs just tend to open up a new kitchen someplace else.
07:23Please tell me you're not suggesting that was made on school property.
07:25Yeah, it's possible.
07:26Well, your security's decent here.
07:28I mean, we'd know, surely, if someone had broken in.
07:31Yeah, it does seem like a bit of a stretch.
07:33All the same.
07:34I'd love to conduct a search of the suspected classroom.
07:36We can't take any chances where kids were involved.
07:38Fair enough.
07:39Follow me.
07:42Well, you'd better not fall apart in there.
07:45You know what'll happen to you and your cousin.
07:46Take out control to all units.
07:48Facility of traction.
07:49Condition road.
07:50Condition road.
07:51Condition road.
07:51Condition road.
07:52Condition road.
07:53This is never going to work.
07:54Don't you be backing out on me now?
07:56I need to get in them files and find out what's going on with Jake.
07:59Yeah.
08:00So come on.
08:01What are you going to do?
08:05Compu 101.
08:06Oh, my God, me back.
08:21Me back.
08:22Oh, Gail.
08:23I think I've just slipped the disc.
08:25I'm in an absolute agony.
08:26Oh, no, Gail, please, don't leave me.
08:27Don't leave me.
08:28Oh, my God, the pain.
08:30The pain I'm in.
08:31Ow.
08:32Oh, me back.
08:33Oh, my God.
08:37Obviously, we'll give the place a facelift when we start making some cash.
08:42Picked a belly drive from the last one.
08:44I know, but there's nothing wrong with making the place a bit more classy.
08:47Attract some of those yummy mummies.
08:49Hike the prices up.
08:50You really thought this through, hadn't you?
08:52Of course.
08:53I've done my market research, my business projections before I signed the contract,
08:57which leads me to my next point.
08:58We could have a treatment room.
09:01Non-invasive procedures, Botox.
09:04It could be a one-stop, pampering shop.
09:09Who's that?
09:11Erm, it's Miles.
09:14He said that the client dropped in and saw my pictures.
09:17And if the shoot goes well today, then I'm 100% definite for London.
09:20Oh.
09:21Sorry, as much as I love the idea of, you know, running this place with you,
09:26it'd be crazy not to see where this could take me, right?
09:28You understand, don't you?
09:29Yeah.
09:30Oh, yeah.
09:31Come here.
09:34Why don't you go and get ready?
09:36I'll take the keys back to the letting agency and I'll come with you.
09:39Oh, no.
09:45This is not happening.
09:46For real.
09:48Do you think I'd joke about something like this?
09:51Dodger tore the entire classroom apart trying to find something.
09:56Apart from the vial that Oscar found, I think we're in the clear.
09:58Good.
09:59I've already spent one night in this hall.
10:00I won't plan on going back any time soon.
10:02Going back where?
10:04Nowhere.
10:06Eva, you've seen T?
10:08Er, she's in Liverpool with Warren.
10:10I think his club was on fire or something.
10:13The steroids we found at the school are very similar to the ones from the bust we made recently.
10:18Oh.
10:19Like the ones you were arrested for.
10:22It's been ages since I was a pupil at Ollyhock's High.
10:25It's got nothing to do with me.
10:27You've been getting very pally with Smithy recently.
10:29How do you two come across each other?
10:32Well, he's in recovery.
10:33I shouldn't really be telling you this.
10:36We met at a meeting.
10:39It's just I've got reason to believe that he's corrupt and there's a strong possibility that he's involved with those
10:44steroids.
10:45So if there's anything that either of you boys want to tell me, then now's probably a very good time.
10:53Because the longer this goes on for, the worse it's going to be.
10:57For everyone.
11:01There's nothing to say.
11:03We don't know anything.
11:06Smithy made us do it.
11:26Look past the camera.
11:28A little bit less stiff.
11:30Just loosen up the shoulders.
11:32There, there.
11:33There you go.
11:34Keep it going.
11:38Yeah.
11:39More.
11:41That's it.
11:41That's it.
11:42There, there, there.
11:46Love him more.
11:48There we go.
11:51That's the one.
11:54So, what makes you think you have what it takes?
11:57Um, well, I'm willing to do the long hours.
12:00Um, happy to get thrown into any situation.
12:03And I know it's not glam all the time, so I'm not princess or anything.
12:06You really want this, don't you?
12:08Yeah, I mean, when I was a kid, I never dreamt of an opportunity like this.
12:13No one really gave me the time of day, to be honest.
12:15So this would literally change my life.
12:19So?
12:22Sorry.
12:23But it's a no.
12:26You're not what a client's looking for.
12:30What?
12:30Is it, is it the photos?
12:32Because I'm happy to take more.
12:33I mean, I've got time.
12:34Can you bring the next one in?
12:36But I'm sorry, you're the one that found me.
12:38You said that I was perfect for this, so what's changed?
12:40You were wearing a coat when I saw you.
12:42And does the client have something against coats?
12:44They want a less curvy model.
12:46If you lost half a stone before next week's shoot, then it might have worked.
12:50But it's too late.
12:53It's lovely to see you.
12:54Can we get you over here for some test shots?
12:58You look amazing, by the way.
12:59Just over here.
13:03That's it.
13:04That's it.
13:05Keep it working.
13:06Vic, what happened?
13:07That's it, now work.
13:08That's the one.
13:11That's the one.
13:12That's the one.
13:20I've already had it out with Pearl.
13:22I see if I'd be so petty.
13:23Me spirited and underhanded as if to sabotage someone's engagement practice.
13:27Stop on, son.
13:28Please, Jack.
13:29I'm drowning here, look at me.
13:31I'm just too busy, I can't even...
13:32No, you can help me.
13:33Get this.
13:34We need to spray this popcorn red.
13:36I've got a cinema club coming in, taking over the restaurant for a lover-fond.
13:40It's back-to-back rom-coms all day long.
13:42Steve, can you come to some arrangement about the party date?
13:46Well, I wish.
13:47But I've had to persuade me daughter to fly all the way from San Diego home to me.
13:50So, Jack, I'm sorry.
13:51My hands are tied.
13:54Me Caesar salad, what are you doing?
13:55It looks like a bloodbath.
13:56Yeah, like my home's going to be when Pearl finds out.
13:59Jeez, I'm not for turning.
14:02I'm glad someone's having fun.
14:06What's happened?
14:13Are you OK?
14:14I shouldn't have come here.
14:15What happened in there?
14:17You can talk to me, Vic.
14:19They don't want me.
14:20I'm sure that is no reflection on you.
14:22He said that I was wearing a coat when he first saw me and now he can see that I'm
14:27too fat.
14:28He said what?
14:29I just want to go home, OK?
14:31And forget about it.
14:31Forget about him.
14:32I never want to put myself through that kind of humiliation ever again, OK?
14:37Wait.
14:38He is not getting away with this.
14:40Steve.
14:42That's great.
14:43A little bit more of that, please.
14:46Where do you get off telling young girls they're overweight, especially when it's in no way through?
14:51Bullying women, commenting on their bodies, fostering this ridiculous, unhealthy, perfect size.
14:57You and this industry disgust me.
14:59You're the twisted sister who called me up and offered me money to turn her down.
15:03Turn her down by saying you found someone else for the job.
15:06You didn't need to be so mean.
15:07Take a look in the mirror, babe.
15:09And for your information, Vicky looked great.
15:11She's got what it takes.
15:13You tell her or anyone else about this and I will ruin you.
15:19You got that?
15:26Thanks for looking after me.
15:28Always.
15:29Come on.
15:32And then Zoe said she can't come because she's starting a new job.
15:37And Sharon's presenting at the conference in Abu Dhabi.
15:42So they're both not coming.
15:44I was so looking forward to them being here with little Theo.
15:51You can have the date.
15:53I don't think I've got the heart to organise anything now.
15:57What's the matter?
15:58Pearl's girls can't come to the party, so we're going to have to cancel it.
16:02Don't cancel.
16:03I've been well looking forward to that free bar.
16:06It's fine.
16:07Come on, Pearl.
16:08Let's get you on.
16:10Yeah, wait, wait.
16:11Maybe there's a solution to this.
16:14That we could host our engagement parties together.
16:16I know it won't be the same with your family not being here, but all your friends will be.
16:20And all our neighbours to help us celebrate together.
16:23And Rex won't mind.
16:24You'd do that.
16:25Yeah.
16:28It's the season of romance, isn't it, Jack?
16:31Yeah.
16:32Well, let's face it.
16:34We're like one big happy family, aren't we?
16:37I mean, we all love each other.
16:41Sorry, Steve, but you're not really my type.
16:42Shut your mouth.
16:44So what do you say?
16:47We'd love that.
16:48And that means more people will see my sonata set on the night.
16:52Hang on.
16:53I didn't agree to that, did I?
16:55I told you to shut it.
16:56Jack!
16:57Jack!
17:01How's your back?
17:06What did you find out earlier?
17:08That Jake checked out yesterday.
17:10They've gone and they are not coming back.
17:13You got it.
17:14I doubt I'll see him again, but...
17:17Do you know what?
17:18I couldn't care less.
17:24Everything looks normal.
17:25Staff locking up.
17:27What do the fire people think happened?
17:29Dodgy electrics.
17:30They're going to do a standard investigation.
17:33You think it was something else?
17:35Wait.
17:36There.
17:38Go back.
17:46Zoom in.
17:55Do you know him?
17:58I'm going to need you to look after the girls.
18:01I'm going to go and find this little maggot and end him.
18:03Go back.
18:19Matt.
18:20Detective.
18:21What now?
18:22I think the McQueen's have told Dodger about the lab.
18:25Look, we need to shut everything down.
18:26It's over.
18:28No.
18:28It's only over if you fail to eliminate the problem.
18:32Get rid of Prince of John Paul.
18:41That guy sounded like an absolute weapon.
18:44Mm.
18:45He was.
18:47You know, the only thing that's actually big about you is your gob.
18:51And we wouldn't have it any other way, would we?
18:53No, thank you, darling.
18:55No, no, they'll get you down.
18:56Yeah, like, that's gonna happen.
18:58See you later.
18:58Bye.
19:00Do you mean that you're okay with everything that happened at the casting?
19:04Yeah.
19:05Yeah, of course.
19:06I mean, maybe it was for the best.
19:08I...
19:09I don't wanna leave you just as we're getting to know each other.
19:14That's what I thought.
19:15And I'd miss you.
19:17I just want what's best for you.
19:20I know you do.
19:23Right.
19:24I am gonna go to the lighting agency and officially get the keys for the salon.
19:28See you later.
19:29See you.
19:47Hello?
19:50Hi, erm, I'd like to get some weight loss jabs.
19:53As soon as possible.
20:10Sir.
20:13I need to go ahead to make the arrest now.
20:15Well, these are serious allegations.
20:17Are you sure your witnesses are reliable?
20:19Yes.
20:20I just got a message saying that Smithy's called them to a meeting.
20:24I'm worried that he's gonna shut down anyone that can expose Sully's illegal steroid operation.
20:36Get in.
20:39Shut down?
20:41My witnesses' lives are in danger.
20:47We've done what you asked.
20:48Stop talking and get in the car.
20:50I'm not going anywhere to.
20:51You tell us what this is about.
20:58Do we?
21:00Now.
21:11Right.
21:12I'm off to work.
21:13How about we meet for lunch to discuss our new adventure?
21:16Yep.
21:17Sounds good.
21:19You're looking shifting.
21:20What are you up to?
21:21I'm just researching for the beauty salon.
21:23I like.
21:25Hey, guys.
21:25I could be late for work.
21:27Can I use a shower?
21:28There's no shower in the B&B?
21:30It's on the blink.
21:32Oh, er, Dad.
21:33Me and Gemma are opening a new beauty salon.
21:35I thought you were a doctor.
21:37I thought you was a detective.
21:39Gemma's gonna be a silent partner, but I'm really excited.
21:41That's crazy.
21:42Drop by for a pizza and tell me all about it, yeah?
21:46So.
21:47Research.
21:48Right.
21:49Well, there's still loads of money in Botox and fillers.
21:52Could make a kill in here.
21:53Look, we need to be careful.
21:54A lot of substances are toxic.
21:56Boring.
21:57No, I'm serious.
21:58It's not to be taken lightly.
22:01Right.
22:02What about slimming injections, then?
22:03Got a professional opinion on those?
22:05They need to be prescribed by a doctor and only for obesity and diabetes.
22:09You're not worried about your weight, are you?
22:11About what that loser said to you yesterday?
22:13Me?
22:14Worried?
22:15Never.
22:17See you later.
22:18See ya.
22:29Let's just talk about this.
22:30You don't have to make this any worse than Archie is.
22:32You made this worse, not me.
22:34What are you talking about?
22:35I know you've been talking.
22:37So now I need to make sure that you never talk again.

27:55you will
27:59you know there was no one prouder or louder than Grace

29:17what was I supposed to do
29:19so you turned a blind eye and let a criminal gang use our school as a drugs kitchen
29:23I was in danger
29:25and so was every other pupil in that school
29:28including my son

31:28I need to lose a bit of fat.
31:31Fat?
31:32What fat?
31:34Well, can you help me or not?
31:37I only help people who let themselves go.
31:39People who actually need a PT.
31:41Right, so you're turning away my business then?
31:43Look, babes, I'm not being funny, but even if I wanted to help you, I couldn't afford
31:48me.
31:49Sorry, I'm opening my own salon.
31:50Look, if you want to get fit, then stop migrating me and start running.
31:55Running?
31:565K twice a week, so I did a London Marathon, or are you one of those people who need
32:00a magic pill to get in shape?
32:03I don't need help running a 5K.
32:05Then I don't need your business then, do I?
32:14Hearing big things about this engagement, though, the Hodge?
32:17Hiya.
32:18Yeah.
32:19Mum's even bought an English dress.
32:21You thought she was going to the Oscars or something?
32:22Ah, crazy.
32:28Fire!
32:31What are you even doing?
32:33You're meant to be helping me with this, Axel.
32:35Company accounts?
32:37I don't ever do that again.
32:38No.
32:45No.
33:08No.
33:08No.
33:08No.
33:08And I can, you know, just keep everyone happy.
33:11Yeah, sounds like a plan.
33:12Yeah.
33:12Record deal then, yeah?
33:14Yeah.
33:15Okay, sure.
33:16If you must know, I was actually a music agent.
33:19I was the one that spotted the talent.
33:21Stephanie Delladine, before your time, pal.
33:24You know, I'll just get in there, keep everyone happy, get the party started, you know how it
33:27is.
33:27Well, sounds like everyone's in for a right treat.
33:30Right, are you going to help me with this Axel or not?
33:31Listen, you just wait, right?
33:33I will get the place bouncing.
33:35I'll show you well.
33:36Oh, do you play any instruments, do you?
33:37All of them.
33:38Oh, do you do?
33:39Fix your car.
33:40Go on, fix your car.
33:42Idiot.
33:43Oh, and the police found my stolen car, so you can wash that later as well, you little nugget.
33:48Don't pull.
33:49You just calm down.
33:49But teaching is my life, Nance.
33:52But you can't throw this away from me.
33:55Whoa!
33:57What's going on here?
33:58She's sacking me.
33:59Because of a drug incident at the school.
34:01This is ridiculous.
34:03Oh, come on, Nance.
34:04Cut in some slack.
34:04It was my fault.
34:05I can't.
34:06Look, we have both seen what drug dealing has done to that school in the past.
34:11You know, I've been stabbed for goodness sake.
34:13So I have to put the welfare of the students and my staff above everything else.
34:18What's happened to you?
34:19Hey, you're meant to be my mate.
34:22Yeah, you're supposed to believe in me.
34:24None of this is my fault.
34:25No, it never is, is it?
34:27The Nancy that I knew would always see the best in people.
34:32She understood that bad things happen, that bad people happen.
34:35She'd never throw a mate under the bus like this.
34:37How many chances do you expect to be given?
34:41How many times can you let the school, your students, yourself down?
34:46I won't put my reputation on the line again for you.
34:49Lance, you don't need to do this.
34:53This is fixable.
34:55Look, this job is all that I've got in the whole world, OK?
34:59It's the only thing that I'm good at, it's the only thing that I'm proud of.
35:02Please don't take it away from me.
35:04I won't risk the continued safety of the students for a man who always puts himself first
35:12and expects everyone around him to pick up the pieces.
35:15I'm sorry, John Paul, but that is my decision.
35:21PHONE RINGS
35:28Hi, how can I help?
35:31New clutch? Yeah, sure.
35:33Is that an electric, petrol or diesel car?
35:37Yeah, of course. Electric cars don't have a clutch, yeah.
35:40Sorry, long day.
35:41Erm, mm-hmm.
35:45Yeah, can I get rights to ring you back? Yeah, cheers, thanks.
36:11Sir, we're just prepping the interview room for Smith. You ready?
36:14Yeah. Savage.
36:19This just arrived for you from Longmere Prison.
36:23Bun mail? No, I don't.
36:43Look, I've just been at the hutch waiting for you. Where are you?
36:47Sorry, I'm two minutes away. I just popped out for a run.
36:50A run?
36:51Are you sure that creak Miles hasn't got in your head yesterday?
36:54No.
36:56Vic. Hello?
37:00Get off me! Mum!
37:01Vicky? Are you okay? Vic?
37:06Oh, no.
37:09Hiya, it's Vicky. I can't get to the phone right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to
37:13you.
37:17Hello?
37:20Hello, Dodger. I hear you've made the rest.
37:24Sully.
37:38Look, I've said I'm sorry, and if that's not enough for you, then I think we just need to leave
37:41it there.
37:42Sorry? You've just sacked him.
37:46Heya, it's World War Three here.
37:48T, babe, listen. I need you to close all the curtains and don't let anyone leave the house.
37:55Why? What's going on?
37:56Just do it, please.
37:57Yeah, I'm looking out the window now. I can't see anything.
37:59Don't, no, no, don't. Don't go anywhere near with this. Just do as I say, please.
38:09Your lives are in danger.
38:21I'm back. What do you want me to do?
38:34It's very simple. I want you to get Smithy out of the station before he talks.
38:38Sally, you know I can't do that.
38:41You don't have a choice. I've got people outside your girlfriend's house.
38:48And don't try anything stupid, because I'll know. I've got your phone tapped and eyes everywhere. So don't test me.
38:56Okay?
38:58What do you mean?
39:00How can I make this any clearer? Dodger says there's a fret outside and we need to stay away from
39:04the windows.
39:05Teresa, you're ridiculous.
39:07Nancy, I can't leave!
39:08Yeah, I can.
39:12The board of government is a-
39:16I'm okay. I'm okay.
39:19Now do you believe me?
39:22Vicky, I'm getting really worried now. Just call me, please.
39:37PHONE RINGS
39:41Teresa's calling, though.
39:43Answer it.
39:44PHONE RINGS
39:46T, are you okay?
39:47They've got a gun! Nancy opened the door and someone shot!
39:51Um, okay.
39:55I want you to listen to me.
39:57I've got the doors. Stay there until I can get you.
40:01You're the girl.
40:03I love you.
40:04It's gonna be alright.
40:07Jumpy little thing, isn't she?
40:09Lucky that was just a warning shot.
40:11I've got Smithy in the interview room.
40:13Hold all my calls.
40:18Get rid of it.
40:19The note in your left hand.
40:22Get rid of it.
40:24I told you not to do anything stupid.
40:28Wondering who you can trust?
40:31No one.
40:34So get a move on.
40:38Hey Vic.
40:43Dad.
40:45What is it?
40:46What's wrong?
40:48So these men have me.
40:50They told me to tell you to do exactly what they say.
40:57Vic!
40:58Vic!
41:01You know, this is all down to you two.
41:03The situation was completely out of our control.
41:07No, I don't accept that.
41:08You might not have had control, but you still had a choice.
41:11And yet again, John Paul makes the wrong one.
41:13And this time, Phil might not get out of this alive.
41:16Do you know what?
41:17Can you just sit down and see?
41:19No, I'm not gonna listen to you just because Teresa is hiding upstairs.
41:23You know what?
41:23We all have families that we might never speak to again.
41:27You know, we all have kids.
41:28I'm gonna give Matthew a call.
41:30If you don't sit down, they're gonna get you.
41:37Did I tell you he's been offered a place at a school in Switzerland for gifted children?
41:41Look, everyone, just try not to panic.
41:44Dodger will be here soon.
41:47Please don't make me say,
41:48if you do, my life will be at risk.
41:52What I've got is a police force riddled with corrupt officers.
41:58So we're gonna sit here, rake over the details until I've got enough to put you all away.
42:04Now, how did you get to be in Sully's pay?
42:12Sir, this ain't a drill, it's a fire.
42:14Possible attempts on this one. I'll take him to a secure location.
42:17Okay, let's go.
42:20Move!
42:28Get in! Sully's got my Vicky.
42:44Okay. I've done what you wanted.
42:54Another instruction.
42:55Which is?
43:00No!
43:01Donny!
43:02Please!
43:03Put that back in.
43:04Tell Sully we'll do exactly what he wants.
43:15Missed or stupid faces.
43:18I think about them all the time.
43:21Our poor family, eh?
43:24We've already lost so many.
43:27I'm gonna go check on Theresa.
43:33Why don't you try Matthew again?
43:38What's the point?
43:40I've hardly spoken to him since he left.
43:42And now that he's moving to Switzerland,
43:44it's just gonna be even harder, isn't it?
43:50He's never had that with me.
43:54I've never been a good dad, mate.
43:57Truth is, I think he's ashamed of me.
44:01Why would he be?
44:05Because I'm a lonely, middle-aged alcoholic.
44:08And now I'm facing a load of criminal charges.
44:10I mean, would you wanna be around me?
44:13No, I've...
44:14I've failed him.
44:15Me?
44:16Because I'm a failure.
44:24You're talking about a man's life, Dom.
44:26He's more aware of that, but you.
44:27We've got eyes on Theresa,
44:28and we've got my daughter.
44:30What choice do we have?
44:31Boys, you don't have to do this.
44:31Shut up, Smoothy.
44:33What, please?
44:34You said shut it!
44:40Okay.
44:43Let's do it.
44:56I could be Prince.
44:58Eh?
44:59I'm no parent, am I?
45:01All I do...
45:03is go from one toxic relationship to another.
45:12I often wonder what would have happened if...
45:14I hadn't come out.
45:19What if I'd married someone else?
45:23What if I'd married someone else?
45:28Come on!
45:29Jesus Christ!
45:30Sit down!
45:36What, yes?
45:40There's a new me coming out, and I just have to live, and I want to give, I'm completely positive,
45:49I think this time around...
45:53Oi! I was enjoying that!
45:54I can't hear myself think.
45:56Then do what the rest of us do, and don't.
45:58Don't tie my shoes with your brush, thick as mince.
46:02I'm not the airhead in the family.
46:03We all know who that is.
46:06Hello, beautiful people!
46:11What have you done to your face?
46:15Er, arguing with the carb on it.
46:17Hmm.
46:20Hi.
46:21Suites you, John Paul.
46:23It's mine, that.
46:24Don't you go thinking about nicking it.
46:26It was a present from my gym.
46:30Oh, John Paul!
46:31When are you booking in for your tattoo?
46:33I've designed a really good one.
46:34It's Matthew Jesus, and I was going to put it right across your chest.
46:37No, I'm not.
46:38I don't want a tattoo.
46:40Babe, you know how I feel about all these doodles.
46:47Oh!
46:48You're late.
46:49Oh, all right.
46:50I got talking to Darren.
46:51You know, it's really not that annoying once you get to know him.
46:54Why am I in Sienna? I'll never know.
46:55Hey, baby.
46:56Well, I hope you're not thinking of doing the dirty on your new husband.
46:59Never.
47:01Look, dinner's nearly ready.
47:02I'm going to nip up and get Matthew, all right?
47:04OK.
47:07Hey, will you get our Jackie and Nana on the Zoom after tea?
47:11OK, boomer.
47:12Will you stop calling it the Zoom?
47:15Yeah, of course I will.
47:17Matthew, come on, buddy.
47:20Everything OK?
47:23Yeah, he won't open his door.
47:32Well, erm...
47:33With Matthew holed up in there and, er...
47:36the rest of the Motley crew downstairs.
47:40That gives me and you a bit of, erm...
47:45Alone time.
47:46Mm-hm.
47:55What the hell?!
47:58What...
47:59What are you doing?!
48:09So you're imagining what your life would be like if you'd never come out?
48:12I mean, that's crazy.
48:14One, there is no world where you and me end up married.
48:17And two, even if you'd never come out, how could you think that your sexuality could in any way be
48:23an issue in bringing up Matthew?
48:24I'm just trying to make sense of where everything went wrong with him.
48:28It'll be OK, you know.
48:30Are you really saying that cos we're holding up in here?
48:32You've gone from hating me to being kind to me.
48:38I could never hate you, John Paul.
48:43Well, you'd be joining a long line of people who do.
48:45Him, for starters.
48:48And Craig.
48:51You know, Craig had to strong-arm me into being a dad.
48:55I had to be persuaded to have a child. Can you imagine that?
49:01Maybe that's where it all went wrong.
49:05What if I'd never had Matthew?
49:10Get off it! Mum, it's just a beer! Come on!
49:13You are not drinking today.
49:16Of all days. What is wrong with you?!
49:19How can I face the Horticultural Society now, after what you've done?
49:22Our good family reputation will be in tatters when the news gets out.
49:26Well, I can't help you. New restaurant's opening.
49:29Is, er, Bobby there all day?
49:30He's greeting the VIPs.
49:32This is such an embarrassment.
49:34No, I tell you what's an embarrassment, Mum.
49:35Half of this family's showing up for Hunters Art exhibition
49:37and swerving our launch.
49:41Should we be leaving with all this going on?
49:44Er, yeah.
49:45We've busted our balls for him over it years.
49:48Enough is enough.
49:51I want to buy everything.
49:54Yes, now.
49:55What's going on there?
49:56Stock markets rocketing, apparently.
49:59Couldn't you have stopped this from happening?
50:02John Paul? How?
50:03I don't know. You're the criminal psychologist.
50:06I could never have predicted that he'd done this.
50:09Aggravated robbery?
50:10I needed the money!
50:12Get a job.
50:14Talk to Mercedes.
50:15Ask Carmel.
50:16I don't lend to family and friends.
50:18As a rule.
50:22That is because you have strayed from the path.
50:26What has happened to my children?
50:28He's ruining his life.
50:30And you, Carmel Celine Marguerite McQueen, turning your back on religion.
50:34I get it, okay?
50:36You're all ashamed of me.
50:37I've let the family down again.
50:39Will you just stop banging on about it?
50:41I did try to talk to him, but the problem is, he's inherently selfish.
50:45I'm right here, you know.
50:48Don't worry, John Paul.
50:49I'm going to sort this all out, okay?
50:51Hey.
50:52Hey, everyone. It's John Paul.
50:54Ready to go.
50:55What do you think?
50:56Er, what's this?
50:57Oh, Darren's going to give him a lift at court, because, you know, he can't fit.
51:01Where he's going to be sentenced in, go straight to jail.
51:04Jail?
51:06My son, the criminal.
51:08Do you know how this tears my heart?
51:12John Paul, it didn't have to come to this.
51:17You know it's not too late to put things right.
51:20Matthew is the gift.
51:23Tell me honestly, if you could go back in time and change having him, would you?
51:29No. Of course I wouldn't.
51:32Yeah, we all have demons, John Paul.
51:35But becoming a dad has made you work hard to overcome them.
51:41No-one said that being a parent was easy.
51:44Actually, it's the hardest job in the world.
51:47Well, at least it's still a job I've got.
51:49Now that my teaching career is over.
51:52Okay.
51:53Then you move on and you do something else.
51:58And don't you want to be someone that your son can be proud of?
52:02That he can respect, look up to?
52:05Okay, so, what did you dream of doing before you became a teacher?
52:21I thought you might need a break.
52:23How's it going?
52:26Well...
52:28That editor is chasing me for the latest draft.
52:32Anne Legal have just sent me a load of notes.
52:33But apart from that, it's going really well.
52:36Well, you know it's worth all the hard work when you see your name flash up on the screen.
52:41I couldn't be more proud of you, son.
52:47Silver, again!
52:48Honestly, if I didn't know any better, I'd say he had a crush on you.
52:52Imagine.
52:53In this family?
52:55The only relationship drama that I have in my life these days is on the page.
53:00My happiness...
53:01My responsibility.
53:03Anyway, you've got your hands full with your career.
53:07And a little man.
53:08Speaking of which...
53:10Yep, I am taking him laser questing.
53:13Don't suppose you fancy it?
53:14Yeah, you suppose right.
53:16Anyway, I've got a date with your mum, a bottle of cider and the karaoke machine.
53:21Sounds exciting.
53:22See you later.
53:23Hello, mate!
53:34What on earth are you doing?
53:36It's like a backstroke brothel in here.
53:42They've gone!
53:44Who's gone?
53:47Who's gone?
53:49I'm good?
53:51Yeah.
53:55Life only gives you so many chances.
53:59What if this is my last one?
54:01There's never been a moment you were forgotten.
54:06You are not hopeless.
54:11Though you have been broken, your innocence stolen.
54:16I hear you whisper underneath your breath.
54:25I hear your rest always, your rest always, your rest always.
54:33Matt!
54:36I will send out an army to find you in the middle of the darkest night, it's true.
54:49I will send you.
54:50Hey, buddy!
54:51Hi, Dad.
54:52Sorry I got you off before.
54:53I was game with my mates and I didn't want to have to stop.
54:56No, no, no, no. It's fine. It's fine.
54:58I've been thinking about you a lot today.
55:00I mean, I'm thinking about you a lot every day.
55:06Um...
55:06I-I wanted to ask you a question.
55:09Okay.
55:12Um...
55:15When I grew up...
55:18I didn't have my dad around.
55:20And I-and I think...
55:21I think in hindsight...
55:23I think it really affected me and I-and I think it...
55:26I think it made me really sad and, um...
55:30And it-and it breaks my heart to think that...
55:33You might be going through what I went through.
55:37You might be sad.
55:38I don't know what you're saying.
55:44I-I-I wanna be...
55:46I wanna be the father that you deserve.
55:49I-I-I wanna be...
55:50I wanna be the father that I'm supposed to be.
55:55Um...
55:58How would you feel...
55:59If, um...
56:02If I came to live with you in Switzerland?
56:09Matthew? Are you there?
56:13Oh, it's probably a really silly idea.
56:16You-you don't want your old man around, do you?
56:18I do. I-I just wasn't expecting you to say that.
56:21I-I've missed you too, Dad.
56:24Really?
56:26That's-that's amazing!
56:28That's amazing!
56:30You-you sure?
56:31Why are you crying?
56:32No, I'm not...
56:34I'm not crying, mate, no.
56:35No, no, no.
56:37No, I'm happy.
56:39I'm...
56:40I'm really, really happy.
56:42I-I-it's you...
56:44I-I will rescue you...
56:52Oh, I will rescue you...
56:57Go on.
57:00Well?
57:01The Smithy's back in custody. The super took him in.
57:03And?
57:04Details to Jack.
57:06Sonny bought the stage fighter as we sent him.
57:08So he thinks that Smithy's dead?
57:10He's got eyes everywhere, so he's going to find out soon enough.
57:13But as it stands, he does, yeah.
57:15It's over.
57:16No, Don, it ain't.
57:18Sally's placated for now, but the super wants answers.
57:21He's called me back in to go over what happened during the fire.
57:23Where I took Smithy, why I left.
57:27Don, we have to go to the station and tell the super the truth.
57:30I mean everything.
57:31Once he knows what we've been through, he's going to back us, surely.
57:34Don't we?
57:36Donnie!
57:37I broke a criminal out of custody. I've gone to prison.
57:39I don't want any more to do with this. Not any more.
57:41I don't care. You have something to do with this and I need you.
57:44You might be willing to throw your whole life away over all of this, but I ain't.
57:47Look, I'm sorry. I really am.
57:51But you're on your own.
58:21You're on your own.
