00:00You'd better have something for me.
00:28Ready for later?
00:42Three more letters this weekend.
00:45Look, you just can't let it get to you.
00:48Okay, we're meeting this prosecution team later.
00:51And I'm going to be there.
00:53I just want to make Annie a milkshake.
00:56And that's why you're doing this, Mum.
00:58For Ollie and Annie.
01:00Show them today that you will manage on that stand,
01:02and Dean won't be seeing daylight for a long, long time.
01:08Okay.
01:12She was on the verge of buying that deal.
01:14Changing her statement.
01:16Yeah, but she still hasn't, has she?
01:18Now she's told him that you and your mate were behind that,
01:20and I ain't getting arrested like he has.
01:22Not the only one that's frustrated.
01:23Sending her nasty letters.
01:25Do you know how that feels?
01:27Well, not worse than being banged up for something you haven't done.
01:30Three more in one weekend, Dean, and she is still going to take the stand.
01:33I don't get it.
01:34Last week you said she was wobbling.
01:36I can't even believe I'm here.
01:37That weeks of letters from you.
01:40When we found your brother, you must have known it was Sharon.
01:42Oh, and then sending your mate Fraser to come and pour it on Fig.
01:45Look, every bone in your body must have told you it was her.
01:48Ask your mum.
01:49Yeah, but even she changed her mind.
01:51But I can't.
01:52I can't do this anymore.
01:54Promise me that we'll get the truth.
01:56It's the only thing that makes sense.
01:58Sharon must have killed him, and Linda's lying to protect her best mate.
02:01My mum was in your flat.
02:02So what? They planted it.
02:04Linda only remembered seeing me after Sharon got banged up.
02:08It's funny how that chopped her wine-riddled memory.
02:12Why would I kill your brother?
02:14We've been over this. I barely knew the geezer.
02:17Sharon's the only person that would have wanted him dead.
02:21Sharon... Sharon loved him.
02:24Come on.
02:26He broke her heart.
02:28He kidnapped her kid. You're the one that told her.
02:31If I was Sharon, I'd want to kill him too.
02:37Linda...
02:39Well...
02:41Linda's lying.
02:43She's lying in her statement, just like she lied about the rape.
02:46It's what she does.
02:49Except the rape wasn't a lie, was it?
02:52Maybe you're making up stuff now.
02:58You know, I feel sorry for her sometimes.
03:02Losing my brother.
03:04The guilt she must feel about what happened between us.
03:08But just because you're angry with someone
03:10doesn't mean you can frame them for murder.
03:12Oh, so is that what this is?
03:14I get back at her for telling everyone what you did.
03:18Maybe she ain't cracked cos she's telling the truth.
03:21You can be that thick. I should have stuck with what I said.
03:24Trust in the system. You're just using me, Dean.
03:26You're using me to get yourself out of here.
03:28And I ain't nobody's idiot.
03:30I ain't doing this anymore.
03:32Fine, go.
03:34You let your brother's killer walk free.
03:45You're not bad watching again.
03:47No.
03:48Freddie found a great spotted woodpecker yesterday.
03:51That's right.
03:52Today I'm going to find a sparrowhawk and a kestrel.
03:55Missed a bit.
03:59What?
04:00Nothing, I just... I just don't want to see you get burned.
04:03I don't want to see you get burned.
04:05I don't want to see you get burned.
04:07I don't want to see you get burned.
04:09I don't want to see you get burned.
04:11I don't want to see you get burned.
04:13I don't want to see you get burned.
04:15We're just going birdwatching.
04:17I'm not saying I blame you. You're 21, you're gorgeous.
04:20That's cute in a spacey way.
04:22If you want to see him, just go for it.
04:24I don't want to see him.
04:25Just break up with Bobby first, please.
04:27Mo was talking rubbish when she said I was mooning over Freddie.
04:30And I don't know why you keep trying to...
04:32I know you.
04:33And if you let yourself hurt Bobby again...
04:35Me and Bobby are great. Like, really great.
04:37Yeah. So why aren't you spending the day with him?
04:39Because he's manager now.
04:42What, a go?
04:43It's my life. Stay out of it.
04:46No-one's getting hurt.
04:52She might not have cracked yet, but she's starting to.
04:55Everything you're doing...
04:56Ain't working, Dean. None of it.
04:58Look at her reaction. Her outburst at you last week.
05:00I really thought she was going to expose me, you know.
05:02She's clutching at straws.
05:04If she was telling the truth,
05:05she'd have taken those letters straight to the old Bill.
05:07Just like she shot Fraser.
05:08Now she's scared cos she knows she's lying.
05:10Now she knows that somebody else knows too.
05:12I'm telling you, any day now, she's going to snap.
05:14When, Dean?
05:15Cos that clock is ticking and she still ain't withdrawn her statement.
05:18Which is exactly why you need to turn the heat up.
05:20I can't just keep writing letters, can I?
05:23Listen, all of this, everything you're doing...
05:26It's for justice for Keanu.
05:29Well, right now, you're the only person that can make that happen.
05:36OK.
05:38Yeah.
05:40So what do we do next?
05:42I mean, manager.
05:44Manager? Puppy's only worked there ten minutes.
05:47It's like a mini version of my dad.
05:49Maybe he just showed a bit of interest, a bit of ambition.
05:51Selling pies.
05:53Can we get two coffees, takeaway, please, Barry?
05:55Has Barney left you on your own again, has she?
05:57She's got her brother's murder trial coming up.
05:59Sorry.
06:01Oh, and guess what?
06:02I sold an electric car today, didn't I?
06:04Yeah, she did.
06:05She is smashing it.
06:07The job, not the car, obviously.
06:09Listen, Louis is going to need a little bit of extra help, isn't he?
06:12What with this discalculia.
06:14I mean, that ain't going to come for free.
06:16Obviously, I'm more than happy to pay my bit, but...
06:19It's not about ambition.
06:21Well, find out what it is about, then.
06:23Maybe he's just a bit of manager in you.
06:25Meaning what?
06:27Just not everything is about you, Peter.
06:29You know your mum as well as I do.
06:31She's not going to want Bobby working under her nose
06:33if there ain't sank hills going on.
06:35Under her nose?
06:36She barely even shows her face.
06:38Oh.
06:39Well, find out what she's actually up to, then.
06:42Go get that job.
06:46Go get it, Jay.
06:50Oh, I'm going to be late for work again.
06:53Everything's always my fault.
06:55I've got a bit more petrol left in the tank.
06:58Seven missed calls from Bobby.
07:00What's he going to do, put you on a final warning?
07:02This isn't funny, you know.
07:03He's not the only one who's going to make you do overtime.
07:06Look, I've got to get to work.
07:08One minute.
07:09Ten, 15, if you're lucky.
07:11No, and you've got a business contract to deliver without any staff.
07:15There's only some way to relieve the stress of it all.
07:18Try a cold shower.
07:22It's only dialysis.
07:24I don't need you guys 20 for seven.
07:26I don't need that either.
07:28Really, we don't want it to be a big day.
07:31A big day?
07:33You know...
07:35It's your wedding.
07:37Yeah, so there'll be family and some mates
07:42and some of Sikhi's friends from the Gurdwara.
07:45Oh, that's very generous of you.
07:47Extending the invite so wide.
07:49Well, I mean, when I say family, I don't mean...
07:52Well, I was thinking more
07:54the last time one of my ex-wife's friends turned up.
07:57So scared you were going to lose her,
07:59so I just put a ring on it.
08:00Nugget's got his dialysis dad, so, you know...
08:03Oh, I hope it goes OK.
08:05Yeah, we don't all react to jealousy the way you do.
08:09Of course you don't.
08:11It'll just be nice to show Sikhi what a proper marriage looks like.
08:17I believe it's not worth it. Come on, let's go.
08:24What?
08:29Come on.
08:45Didn't face anything with a bit of lippy.
08:48Shall I come with you?
08:50Oh, you look after the kids. I've got Johnny.
08:53Will you go and show him what you're made of, yeah?
09:00OK, ready?
09:09They've got my number.
09:11How have they got my number?
09:13Mum, it doesn't mean anything.
09:14They know where I live.
09:15It's just going to be another one of Dean's mates.
09:17Bring it, see who it is. They're going to tell everyone.
09:19Mum, he is just trying to scare you.
09:21Somebody knows. I'm lying.
09:23Mum, you have to put it to the back of your mind, OK?
09:26Just focus on the meeting. I can't do it.
09:28Mum, it's a bit late for that.
09:30No, I can't.
09:31No, no, you don't. No, you don't, Mum.
09:33Please, it's a little lippy.
09:34No, just give it to me. Just...
09:36Mum, Mum, you promised that you would do this for your nanny, OK?
09:40If Dean doesn't get sent down, you're the one that is going to go.
09:43I am not going today!
09:45I can't.
09:58It's all marriage. Two women.
10:02It's only about business, what they want to do, Dad.
10:05If you had dealt with it like you were supposed to.
10:08My boy is in there having dialysis.
10:10They are gloating at me.
10:11Look, all I'm bothered about is my son's health
10:13and all you should be bothered about is yours.
10:15That smile on her face. Not everyone gets jealous like you.
10:18I'm serious. All this stress isn't good for your heart, you know.
10:20Well, you tell that to the two of them.
10:21Sucky and Eve ain't going nowhere, so get them out of your mind.
10:25Whatever energy you've got, focus on yourself.
10:28It may be a little for your grandson.
10:55John is right. What does it matter?
10:57But if somebody knows...
10:59If they know anything, they'll go to the police.
11:01That's what I've been trying to tell her.
11:03They've got my number.
11:05Now, anyone can find out where I live and drop off a letter,
11:07but this is someone who knows me.
11:10Personally.
11:12Someone who saw something.
11:14If they saw something, they'd have seen all of us.
11:16Well, maybe they have.
11:18Maybe you're naked.
11:20Now, do you believe me, right?
11:22It has to be one of Dean's people.
11:24Maybe they're watching me right now.
11:26Mum.
11:27Maybe they saw you come in here.
11:29Maybe you've just given them the proof they need.
11:31She can't go to a pre-trial meeting like this.
11:33She is going.
11:34Her head is in no state to talk to anyone.
11:36That is just because she is trying to give up drinking.
11:39Sharon's right.
11:40She's doing this for you.
11:41All of you.
11:42But if I mess it up, I'll...
11:44No, you won't mess it up.
11:46You won't mess it up.
11:48All of you.
11:49But if I mess it up, I'll...
11:50No one is messing up anything.
11:52Why don't you let her sleep on it?
11:54Great. Great. Thanks a lot. You can go now.
11:56Look at her, Johnny.
11:57Yeah, and I'll sort it.
11:58All right? Just like I have sorted the rest of it.
12:01And everyone's grateful for that, but you can...
12:03I said you can go.
12:19OK, you need to get a grip.
12:21OK, fast.
12:48Drink up.
13:19Hi.
13:20The car waits about 20 minutes.
13:22Is that OK?
13:23No, sorry.
13:24Oh.
13:25Gina.
13:26Hi.
13:27Hey.
13:28Your mum's not here and Peter's just skulking in the kitchen.
13:30No, no, no.
13:31I came to see you.
13:32Oh.
13:33Congratulations.
13:34Be a manager.
13:35Yeah, thanks.
13:36It's a big job, though.
13:38Yeah, yeah.
13:39It'd be easier if I had a functioning staff team.
13:41So, if you don't have time now for a girlfriend,
13:43why don't you come and see me?
13:45Functioning staff team.
13:46So, if you don't have time now for a girlfriend...
13:48What?
13:49We should probably just tell her.
13:51Has Anna said something?
13:52What?
13:53It's bad enough that Peter has a problem with me being manager.
13:56I've not got a problem.
13:57If it's going to come between me and Anna as well, then...
13:59Well, it just surprised me a bit.
14:01Mum putting all that trust in you and then just leaving.
14:04Yeah.
14:05Yeah, this is stupid.
14:06You can't give up your job for a girl.
14:10Even if she is our sister.
14:13I guess Dad is away and Cindy,
14:16she's hardly been around since Jane came back.
14:20I've tried to ask her, you know, find out if something is going on.
14:23Bobby.
14:24Bobby, you're clearly really brilliant at this.
14:26You can't quit.
14:28I mean, why else would Mum have made him manager?
14:33Can you take that?
14:42Mum, Mum, what are you doing?
14:44Just a bit calm.
14:45Calm. Focus.
14:46I am focused.
14:47Yeah, I know.
14:48Just a sip.
14:49Mum, just remember what is in your statement, OK?
14:52Just think hard before answering.
14:54Mrs Carter.
14:55Oh, Linda.
14:58There's nothing to worry about.
14:59I'm just here to make sure you're fully prepped for your day in court.
15:07Thanks, darling.
15:09Oh, Elaine, how's Linda?
15:12Oh, bloody darling.
15:13Yeah, she's fine.
15:14Why?
15:15It's just that, um, well, she exploded at me last week.
15:18Well, Dean's trial's coming up.
15:19It's very stressful.
15:20Yeah.
15:21For all of you.
15:22Yeah, I know.
15:23I just wanted to check she was all right.
15:24Well, she stopped drinking again,
15:25so you probably got the worst of it
15:27and little Annie's got problems with her teeth.
15:29I'll talk about the trial.
15:30You know, is she still going to give evidence?
15:32Well, yeah.
15:33She's with the prosecution team now, looking at her statement.
15:35Right, has she changed it?
15:36No.
15:37She's rehearsing for court.
15:38Oh.
15:41He's not going to get away with it.
15:43She's a strong woman, my daughter.
15:48Well, I just want more like everyone.
15:50Let's see my brother's killer go down.
15:52Yeah.
16:04We were all so scared.
16:06You know, Keanu was so angry.
16:08And that's when he hit Mr Pannisar.
16:11And then he turned on the rest of us.
16:13Mum, just answer the question she asked you.
16:15Maybe you'd like to wait outside.
16:17No.
16:18I'm...
16:19I always advise my clients to keep it concise.
16:21Well, maybe Mr Wick's defence didn't quite get your memo, Mr Carter.
16:26So...
16:27And then he turned on the rest of you.
16:31He, er, he held us hostage.
16:33He held us hostage.
16:35And then the police turned up.
16:39And the police turned up?
16:46Um...
16:47Denise sent them away.
16:50Uh, Dean had said, um...
16:53Keanu had said to get rid of them.
16:56And then, um...
16:59And then he ran away and...
17:01Mum, mum, just...
17:02Take a breath.
17:04We were worried about Nish, er, Mr Pannisar.
17:08After a while, it all got a bit much and I slipped out, you know, to get some air.
17:12And I can see that Miss Slater's latest statement corroborates that, so...
17:16Do you need to get that?
17:18Perhaps, um, we should all just take a break.
17:20Yes, yes. Stacy saw me go outside.
17:23And that's when I saw Dean.
17:26He was going into the caf, dragging a body.
17:29I'm, er, an object.
17:31A heavy object in a tupple.
17:36I mean, I know now that it was a body, but I didn't then, otherwise I'd have said...
17:40I couldn't see, you know, it was snowing heavily.
17:44Not so heavy that I couldn't see it was him. I mean, I knew it was him.
17:47So was it snowing heavily or wasn't it?
17:51You just keep asking me the same questions.
17:53Which is what his defence will do.
17:55On and on, question after question.
17:57I'm just telling you what I saw, what I...
17:59Why don't we all take a break?
18:13I thought you weren't coming.
18:15How's Sikhi? Your message says she's not well today.
18:18Oh, she's... Yeah, she's fine now.
18:21Yeah, I know. I called her to check.
18:24Look, whatever this is, it stops. Now.
18:29I want you to have my share of our rental properties.
18:34What part of nothing to do with you do you not understand?
18:39Well, I did her deed to your husband.
18:42I can never forgive myself.
18:44Yeah, that makes the two of us.
18:46So I want to set you right for when I'm no longer here.
18:49Yeah. And use me to get to Sikhi.
18:52I'm not playing niche and deep.
18:54And I'm not getting into business with you.
18:57But listen...
19:01..I'm not likely to make it as far as Christmas.
19:05So Sikhi that you're going to be doing business with,
19:08she owns the other half.
19:10Yeah. Of course she does.
19:14And you think putting me in a room with your newly engaged ex-wife
19:18is going to wind her fiancé up and then...
19:21You've both made it perfectly clear
19:23that you no longer have feelings for each other.
19:26No.
19:28I don't imagine that that problem will arise.
19:32Half the properties, no strings.
19:36No anything.
19:45You're not working today, no?
19:47Did Bobby send you? Has he put me on a warning?
19:50Sorry, I had to go to the wholesalers.
19:52It took a bit longer than I expected.
19:54Did it really? Yes, it did, Peter.
19:57And clearly you're not working either
20:00and your poor brother is on his own.
20:02You may fall in, Mum, but you ain't falling me.
20:06I know what you've been up to.
20:10Who is it, Johnny? You're doing really well.
20:13Who is it? Who knows?
20:14Right now you just need to focus on getting through this afternoon.
20:17All of her questions. Yeah, and you're going to get more in court.
20:19You're going to get worse. On and on, trying to catch me.
20:21Because that is what these lawyers are going to try and do.
20:24I mean, what's it going to be next? First letters, now texts?
20:26You have got to stop thinking about it.
20:28She don't believe me, does she?
20:30Whoever it is they've been talking to her to?
20:32Come on, Mum, OK?
20:33The last thing she wants is to feel like she's got a volatile witness.
20:36Someone's been messaging me non-stop.
20:38You have to stay focused. You try and stay focused!
20:49One sec.
20:55One sec.
21:09You're never at work, are you?
21:11Your head's all over the place, even Bobby's knows.
21:13What do you mean, I'm never at work? Stop pretending!
21:17It's C and Jane.
21:19It's got you all angry again.
21:21Hearing all about Lucy, how you really feel about Bobby.
21:24About Bobby? You're setting him up to fail.
21:27You want it all to fall apart, then you can kick him out of businesses
21:30and then Dad will go ape at him and then finally he'll leave.
21:34Do you seriously think I would sink a business,
21:37lose all our money just to get rid of Bobby?
21:40You've not wanted him here since you've been back.
21:43C and Jane made me want to make amends.
21:46That's why I made him manager.
21:48I'm trying to build bridges.
21:51No. No, you're lying.
21:54Where are you even going with this, Peter?
21:56There's got to be something else. Why did you make him manager over me?
21:59You're 30 years old.
22:02I didn't think you'd want to be hanging from me apron strings.
22:06So you gave him the job because I'm a failure?
22:09No. I thought you'd want to be following your own dreams
22:12rather than coming around here and accusing me of destroying mine
22:15to get rid of your poor brother.
22:17Mum, don't you dare turn this around on me.
22:20It's a pie shop, Peter.
22:23I didn't think it was at the height of your ambition.
22:34Right. Ready to go again?
22:36Ready to go.
22:39What?
22:41It's water. Mum.
22:44What? Can't I have another sip of water now?
22:46That is not a water bottle.
22:48You're going to cross-examine me on everything? Mum.
22:51Well, I mean, his defence might, mightn't they?
22:54You know, they might not have got the memo about what's in the cup.
22:57Has she been drinking?
22:59She just told you it's water.
23:02Linda, please.
23:05What? It's gone wine o'clock, hasn't it?
23:08Right, I'm not wasting any more of my time.
23:10No, she's just stressed, OK?
23:12I cannot put your mother on the stand if there's risk to her being like this.
23:15I am still here. She won't be like this, OK?
23:18I'm a solicitor. I know how it works. Look at her.
23:20Yeah, and I am in the process of helping her detox,
23:24but she can't just go cold turkey. See?
23:26Mum. So she's an alcoholic.
23:29Oh, oh, you've not got that in your nice big folder.
23:32She won't be drinking when she takes the stand.
23:35I'm sorry. I'm going to need to talk to my team.
23:37Look, you know as well as I do
23:39that her eyewitness statement is vital to this case.
23:42Which is why she messes this up.
23:44Who do you think you even are?
23:46If you drop her now, you risk everything falling apart.
23:55Aisha called me.
23:57Twice in one day.
24:00Must be nice for you.
24:02Yeah.
24:03Did you really think she'd fall for all your scheming
24:06and then I'd fall for her and then we'd just...
24:09vanish?
24:11Still, at least he's given me a chance to invite her to our wedding.
24:23Just try not to stingle her.
24:25Why? She needs it every day.
24:28She wasn't there a minute ago.
24:31Have you seen Bobby?
24:33I keep getting missed calls.
24:35I know.
24:37You've said something to him, haven't you?
24:40Er, he's had a run in with Mummy.
24:43You've not found out what it's about yet?
24:45No, she gave me the same stretcher wings, cut your apron strings that you did.
24:48I never said that.
24:49Well, I'm not buying it. She's hiding something.
24:51Like what?
24:53Part of me wants to sack this job off,
24:55part of me wants to stay close enough just to find out.
24:58She's probably just sleeping with someone behind her dad's back.
25:01Oh, you can talk.
25:02She's always sneaking off, though, no?
25:03Yeah, but that does not mean a woman is cheating, Peter.
25:05Well, I guess it's not like she hasn't got a form, is it?
25:08Peter?
25:10Did I hear you say anything for work?
25:12Oh, er, don't say anything to her mum about the form thing.
25:15Oh, shit.
25:16Look, I've, er, got a new contract.
25:19I need to put together a new team.
25:20Well, you want a personal trainer that can fry chips and bake pies?
25:23Peter!
25:24Look, you ain't the first fella that needs to get out of his parent's shadow.
25:27It's mainly admin. I'll train you.
25:29Your little fella's probably going to need a bit more help.
25:31They ain't going to be cheap, no?
25:33Apron streamer, snip-snap?
25:36No, you can employ anyone.
25:38Yeah, well, my sister's brother's my brother.
25:42You can't help family, right?
25:44But obviously you can keep on baking pies
25:46until you find out whatever your mum's up to.
25:49Come on, what do you say?
25:55Good man.
25:57Great.
26:01How'd it go?
26:03It was fine. Everything's fine.
26:05So proud of you. Get your feet up.
26:07How was the meeting?
26:09She's really tired.
26:10The brief caught me drinking.
26:12You said you were looking after her.
26:13Well, who do you think gave me the drink?
26:15Mum.
26:16She's joking, right?
26:17She just needed some confidence.
26:19This is you dealing with her.
26:20Someone had to get her to that meeting, didn't they?
26:22Keep all of you lot out of prison.
26:25But anyway, it doesn't matter now.
26:28His mum's off the case. Come on.
26:37You've dropped her completely.
26:39My lawyer just called me an hour ago.
26:40So without their star witness placing me at the scene of the crime,
26:43the case against me is a lot weaker.
26:45There's a good chance I might win this.
26:47I honestly didn't think she was going to crack.
26:49Well, job done.
26:50You played a blinder.
26:53She hasn't confessed yet, though, has she?
26:55No.
26:56I don't need her.
26:58Just as long as she's not giving that made-up statement.
27:02OK.
27:03OK, but I need to know what happened to Keanu.
27:06Sorry, it's not my problem.
27:08Dean, you promised you'd help me.
27:09No, I told you I knew she was lying.
27:11I have done everything that you've asked,
27:12and now you need to return the favour.
27:14All right, look.
27:15If I walk free, they've got no suspect.
27:16They're going to have to reinvestigate, so, you know.
27:18I thought she was going to give a confession.
27:20You know, I need to know who killed my brother,
27:22who buried him.
27:24Yeah, well, it's a good job you're no-one's idiot, then.
27:30Dean?
27:32Dean!
