00:00An aiming ceremony for the twins. I was hoping you'd come.
00:03I think we've made our feelings perfectly clear.
00:05Did you know that Rex was working for Blue?
00:06My war is still out there. But who wants him dead?
00:09Tomorrow is gonna be ace. I love ya.
00:12You can't sustain a relationship on secrets and lies.
00:16Thought you didn't know anything about Blue Bullets.
01:00What are you doing? I've got my girls to protect now, haven't I?
01:22You can't keep ignoring me.
01:27Trouble in paradise, eh?
01:36Admiring your handiwork?
01:40They ruin their lives. I'm building ours. Starting from today.
01:52Hey, Warren said that yours won't come into an aiming ceremony.
01:59Are you surprised?
02:00No, I'm not surprised at John Paul. I'm absolutely gutted.
02:06Look, freeze us out all you want, but your beautiful nieces,
02:10they do not deserve this punishment.
02:13Punishment? Is that what you think this is?
02:16Babe, this is painful for us too, you know.
02:18So come then. It isn't too late. Look, please, I need all my family there.
02:24Yeah, but all your family won't be there, will they?
02:28Hunter won't be there.
02:32Okay. Well, you won't be able to avoid it,
02:35because we're having it at Castle McQueen, where you can wait on us.
02:41You know, this is just typical for you Mercedes.
02:44Well, you'll be waiting on us, because we're taking the day off.
02:48Hey, you all right? How did it go? What happened? Did it go wrong?
03:00No, it went great.
03:03Don't worry, I'm fine. Just a lot of change to process.
03:07So what's all this? I'm going into the arms business.
03:11Setting up a store in the market to raise funds for stocks and shares.
03:15Like father, like son.
03:16Can we not call it the arms business?
03:18Where are you going?
03:19Oh, I've got a trial shift at the loft.
03:21Trial shift or first date?
03:22Shut up, man.
03:24What's that mean?
03:25Nothing.
03:25Sorry, Dad.
03:26Yeah, remember you're there to work.
03:29Later, Dad.
03:29Yeah, catch you later.
03:36I'm not ignoring you to answer your earlier question.
03:41I'm just waiting for a proper explanation.
03:43Do you honestly believe that had something to do with shooting Warren?
03:46Look at me. I'm a market trader, for goodness sake.
03:49I spent my life avoiding violence.
03:51You saw me with Steve and Grace yesterday.
03:54I de-escalate. I'm de-escalating Donnie.
03:58Except when it comes to the bedroom.
03:59Then why hide it?
04:02Look, okay, it's not as simple as just finding it, but I can't.
04:06Neither can I.
04:11I have to get to work.
04:13But by the time I come back, if you're not prepared to tell me what's going on,
04:17then maybe you should consider alternative living arrangements.
04:30She held the gun close to his belly and before he could even speak,
04:34she emptied the barrel.
04:36Nine slugs punching holes through him so big you could see through them.
04:40Grace!
04:42Sorry, she asked for a detective story.
04:45She meant like with magnifying glasses and a notebook and a funny looking hat.
04:48Well, I don't know any like that.
04:50All the ones that I know, you know, carry...
04:52Let's put a stop to story time for now, okay?
04:54Can I play my kitten game instead?
04:56Of course you can, my princess.
04:59Sorry, it's just that Curtis likes it, you know, when I act out all the characters.
05:04But yeah, that might have been a terrible story to tell a child.
05:08You know, it's going to be okay.
05:09We're all going to be really happy here and I've got this great idea, right?
05:12We keep this place open all hours, you know, make it a real staple of the village.
05:17What do you think?
05:18All hours, Grace?
05:20What, with Lexie below day?
05:22Well, she can wear headphones.
05:24I'm kidding, all right?
05:25You'll love it.
05:26Lexie, the later it gets, the merrier it gets, right?
05:29It's a happy sound.
05:31Can we just go to the park?
05:33Great idea!
05:35Yeah.
05:35No, okay, listen, so just angle it, right?
05:38So you don't get too big of a head.
05:39Oh, right, like you, you mean.
05:40Oi!
05:42Mr. I've-got-the-magic-torch.
05:43I do have the magic torch.
05:45Yeah?
05:46Is it just with beer or do you have it anywhere else?
05:51This looks cosy.
05:53Can I, uh, can I help you?
05:55I come selling my wares.
05:57This is a nightclub.
05:59Right, so I'm thinking hens and stag doos, yeah?
06:02You can even brand them if you want.
06:04No.
06:05Because the fastest way for a club to close down is slippery floors.
06:09I don't have to take this.
06:11I'll give you a friends and family discount.
06:13What are you doing?
06:15Chill, it's just networking.
06:16It's kids' toys.
06:18Stop trying to embarrass me, please.
06:19What is your problem?
06:21What's yours?
06:22Well, James and my dad broke up.
06:24You know, all my dad's stuff's been chucked out on the street.
06:26That's my problem.
06:29Sorry, am I boring you?
06:31I'm just trying to talk to you.
06:33Right, no, but can you not see that I'm working?
06:34Oh, you mean you're busy trying to impress the guy you're fancying?
06:45So, uh, I'm not very good at speeches.
06:48So I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for coming.
06:52I'm supposed to talk about my hopes for my children's future.
06:56But I've only got one, really.
06:59And that is that I do my best to make sure they don't turn out like me.
07:06Here's to Maria Carmela and Maria Gabriela.
07:12I cannot thank you enough for helping me set up this place.
07:16Yeah, you can. I keep trying.
07:18Cass and McQueen.
07:20I'm not single one in it.
07:22You know, I really thought one of them might show their ugly mug.
07:25Well, at least two most important people are here.
07:27Your ego knows no bounds.
07:30I'm talking about the babies.
07:31Right, let's get a picture. Leela?
07:34If you want to go, I'll completely get it, you know?
07:38No, it's fine.
07:39Sure?
07:39Yeah.
07:40Pic?
07:41Yeah.
07:45You all right?
07:46You don't look too well.
07:48Fire's got a cold.
07:49I'll be fine by the christening, don't worry.
07:50Well, you better be.
07:52Now that you've agreed to be godparents.
07:54Yeah.
07:57Yeah, I haven't said anything to Leela yet, so just keep it to yourself.
08:16Oi!
08:17Where are you going?
08:18I, uh, I'm just gonna pick up some more booze.
08:23Yeah.
08:31Misbah?
08:35I'm ready to be honest with you.
08:38You're right.
08:40You deserve to know the whole story.
08:52Why lie?
08:53What's wrong with being a policeman?
08:55I didn't think it'd be the police that'd be the problem.
09:00More what drove me out.
09:02Something that ended your career?
09:04Not something.
09:05Someone.
09:08The gangland boss known as Blue.
09:12We knew they existed.
09:14We just couldn't identify him, her.
09:17Every time it looked like I was getting closer to them,
09:20they just seemed to slip further away.
09:22I became obsessed.
09:24I channeled everything into it.
09:26I stopped sleeping.
09:28I stopped eating.
09:28I stopped being me.
09:31I nearly destroyed my whole life.
09:34Got to the point where I'd jump.
09:36If I'd get pushed, I'd jumped.
09:42You never found Blue?
09:44Yes.
09:51What's the matter, Warren?
09:52You look like you've seen a ghost.
09:54I'm not supposed to be dead.
09:55Yeah, well, you didn't stick around long enough to see if I burned, did you?
09:59How did you get away?
10:01Blue looks after his own.
10:03And he comes for his enemies.
10:07What are you looking for?
10:11I won't ask you again.
10:14You're stashed.
10:15Where is it?
10:17You torch Blue's pile.
10:18He wants the drugs as a payback.
10:20Drugs?
10:23I really can't believe a single word that comes out of your mouth, can I?
10:37Sit.
10:38After everything you said about being honest.
10:42I am such an idiot.
10:44If you guys need a bit of privacy...
10:45Shut up!
10:46Look, we'll talk.
10:47I just need to deal with him.
10:49Let him go!
10:50Look, I just need to sort him out.
10:52Now!
10:59You tell Blue from me.
11:02If he wants to send me a message again,
11:05tell him to do it face-to-face like a real man
11:07instead of hiding behind a burner phone.
11:10Now run along.
11:17And you come sniffing around my family again
11:20and I swear I will kill you myself.
11:37Where are they?
11:40Right.
11:43Maybe I didn't get rid of the drugs.
11:47But I haven't been selling them.
11:48I have put them away somewhere safe in a lock-up.
11:51So you just thought you'd keep hold of them in case you got back in the game again.
11:54After Lizzie, Hunter, you have seen first-hand how they have ruined people's lives.
12:00I am trying to get rid of this life, Mercedes.
12:03But it doesn't want to get rid of me.
12:05Oh wow!
12:06And what if someone else gets hold of them and they end up back on the street?
12:11I won't let that happen.
12:12No?
12:14And how are you going to stop it, Warren?
12:20Right, Lexi.
12:21First one coming at you.
12:22Bet you can't catch it.
12:25Everything has to be a competition, you know.
12:27Well, it does with boys.
12:28Do you see a boy?
12:29All right, I'll get it.
12:33It's all right, sweetheart.
12:34It's all right, sweetheart.
12:35You going to stay home with Grace?
12:37What?
12:37Just trying to help.
12:39Just happy families.
12:41Hey, James.
12:42Why don't we go to your home?
12:44Home?
12:46My marriage is over, so I don't really have a home to go to.
12:48Should we go on swings?
12:50Come on.
12:54Can we just go home?
12:56Or Darren's?
12:58I miss playing with Frankie.
13:01Are you a bit freaked out by all the change?
13:05Yeah, me too.
13:07See, you and I are quite similar.
13:09My mum left when I was young, too.
13:11And loads of people tried to fill that gap.
13:13And they were all awful.
13:15I mean, even worse than me.
13:18And I know what it feels like to be pulled from pillar to post.
13:21And that's frightening, too.
13:23So to hide it, I just used to act tough.
13:25And that's where the big scary bear comes from.
13:28She's just a girl acting tough.
13:30Are you not like that inside?
13:32No.
13:33No, inside, I'm a big softie.
13:36You know, so next time you see the big scary bear,
13:40just know that she's filled with fluffy cotton.
13:45Fancy an ice cream?
13:52Hey.
13:53Why are we here and not over in the cap,
13:56toasting the new arrivals with a couple of billies?
13:59Thanks for coming today, mate.
14:01It meant a lot to Mercedes and to me.
14:07Some things happened today, Dave,
14:11that put things into perspective for me.
14:15I need to get rid of the last supply of my drugs.
14:18And Mercedes is right.
14:20I can't take back the drugs that I've sold.
14:24But I can stop the rest of it going on the streets.
14:27The problem is that I can't do it.
14:31I've got people following me.
14:33People who want to take the drugs off me.
14:37Right, so you want me to get rid of them?
14:40All you have to do is get the drugs and destroy them.
14:44And then that's it.
14:46I am done forever.
14:49Why now?
14:51Honestly.
14:52Why now?
14:54Honestly?
14:57I want to be more like you.
15:01A family man.
15:07This is for you.
15:09And this is a guarantee.
15:11If you don't have fun, you get your money back.
15:18People like these more than I thought they would.
15:20Oh, I think they just like you.
15:22I think I was too harsh on Vicky earlier.
15:25Yeah, you were, actually.
15:28Maybe I was as well.
15:29I'm sorry about your dad and James.
15:31Actually, I think you're both stoppy mares.
15:33You are?
15:34No, really?
15:35Is it? Yeah.
15:35Now.
15:44Sorry, boss.
15:46Yeah, maybe.
15:48Call me that, please.
15:50So, you friends again?
15:51Yeah.
15:54Um, but listen, before, about what Leah said earlier.
15:58Yeah, don't mention it.
16:00Besides, we don't want my head getting any bigger now, do we?
16:04Want a drink?
16:05Yeah, come on, then.
16:06All right, enough!
16:07Enough!
16:11Okay.
16:13These are pretty fun, to be fair.
16:20What's up?
16:22What?
16:23Oh, um, it's nothing.
16:27This is nice.
16:31Nisbet.
16:33Yesterday was wonderful, it really was.
16:37But you finding those bullet cases?
16:40Brought it all home.
16:42Blew back.
16:44And clearly out to kill one.
16:46I can't leave the past where it was.
16:48But why?
16:50You're a businessman now.
16:51You're not a policeman.
16:52It's not your job anymore.
16:54It has to be me.
16:56So the obsession can ruin your life again?
16:59Why would you do that?
17:00Because Blue very nearly took something precious from me.
17:03And I've never gotten past that.
17:05Took something?
17:07What?
17:08Dre.
17:18It's done.
17:20They're all gone.
17:22No more surprises, okay?
17:24Not from me.
17:26But I can't guarantee it from Blue.
17:29When Dre was six, I was taking him to a party.
17:34I saw a car run off the road.
17:36I should have called it in straight away.
17:37But hey, I'm a police officer, right?
17:40So of course they go and check it out.
17:44But as I approach, the figure takes a shot at me.
17:49I hit the ground.
17:52By the time I get up, the shooter's driving off.
17:56Leaving nothing but those blue cases.
18:00And that's when I heard wailing, screams.
18:10Sounds I never want to hear again.
18:13The shot hit on Dre.
18:19Don't worry.
18:21I will never let him hurt our family, okay?
18:30Dre survived, but it scarred the both of us forever.
18:34You can see why I can never give it up.
18:38Blue will carry on ruining lives.
18:41Boss, I couldn't find the drugs, all right?
18:43Warren's moved them out the house somewhere.
18:45I don't know where.
18:46Sorry.
18:48Dre and I were both scarred, but...
18:52We were the lucky ones.
18:54We were like the people in the car.
18:58Who were they?
19:01A social worker.
19:04I found her out later.
19:08And...
19:13A baby.
19:22Don't worry about Warren.
19:23I've taken care of it.
19:29That's the Blue I know.
19:34It's all about playing the long game.
19:38Oh, there he is.
19:38There's the Dave that I know.
19:39Stop pretending you're Mr. Nice with your little new family.
19:42I'm not the man you need.
19:44No, please.
19:45I really love you.
19:46I love you, Dad.
19:47To the audience!
19:48I swore to Lizzie that I was going to help her find a baby,
19:50and I'm not going to break that promise.
19:52The less Cindy knows about what happened to the baby, the better.
19:55You had just told me that you were responsible for your grandchild dying.
19:58Sorry if I haven't taken it in my stride.
20:00I mean, I slammed on my brakes just in time to see his car.
20:03And that's when I see the baby blanket.
20:07Lizzie's baby died because of me.
20:09Everything changed.
20:10I locked Blue in a box and became Dave,
20:12a normal guy with no edge,
20:14who looked forward to the day he was born.
20:16No edge, who looked forward to games night with his family.
20:20It's the only way I could look Lizzie in the eye.
20:22And then when Lizzie went,
20:27Blue began to take hold of him.
20:29And then out of nowhere,
20:30this scrappy kid,
20:32who I'd taken under my wing when I worked for Fraser Black,
20:34walks back into my life.
20:36All grown up.
20:38I thought,
20:39well, Blue now has someone to help him take down what?
20:43If I didn't do some hell then on saving Hannah
20:46to make up for being so powerless in saving Lizzie,
20:51we'd have never have crossed paths again.
21:00You know, I never thought I'd see those cold blue killer eyes again.
21:04I even arranged to have your signature blue bullets
21:08used on a hit in 2000.
21:12Hit in 2017.
21:16I thought someone using your signature calling card
21:19might be enough to get you out of hiding.
21:21But when it didn't,
21:23I didn't think I'd ever see you again.
21:25Then in that hotel,
21:27I saw you shift from that loser that you were trying to be
21:32into the ruthless cold hard killer
21:34that I'd grown up wanting to be.
21:37It's as if you'd never left.
21:40I was your soldier then.
21:42I'm your soldier now.
21:44He's not replying to my calls or texts.
21:46Well, you know what blokes are like, don't you?
21:48You have them out,
21:49they sink a few,
21:50and then they come back once he's sobered up and grovelling.
21:52Dodgy tracks, they killed him.
21:54We found out who's responsible for supplying his woman.
21:58Well, it looks like Blue or one of his associates is targeting you.
22:01Hasn't he been missing for years?
22:02Since 2017.
22:04We believe his inactivity could be due to a stint in prison or fleeing abroad.
22:08There was only one time I doubted you.
22:12After our unexpected reunion,
22:16when you took us on the road trip to get me away from the crew that I was running with,
22:22I wasn't sure if you'd be up to it.
22:24You were wrong.
22:27I know.
22:28And after you sorted things with Cindy,
22:30after your disappearing act,
22:33you went to court and got Stever a badger.
22:36You went to court and got Stever a barrel.
22:38And I sent Warren a warning,
22:40sure I'd better let him know that Blue would be the bane of his life.
22:44At least don't put guts to show me your face.
22:54So we've Norma dead,
22:56and Warren thinking that Dave Williams is his new best mate.
22:59It's almost an endgame.
23:01Yeah, but we got his drugs.
23:02Let's just kill him now.
23:04I want him to suffer first.
23:06Like he made me suffer.
23:08You know?
23:10He's gonna feel a pain he's never felt before.
23:14Only when he's on his knees begging me for mercy
23:18will the man who killed my daughter be put out of his misery.
23:23He's got no idea the fireworks haven't even started for him.
