00:25DOORBELL RINGS
00:32Please. Please, just one call. Five minutes.
00:35I told you, you haven't had your list of approved numbers yet.
00:38Where's my son? He'll be missing me and he's only just started school,
00:42so if I could...
00:47Coming out for your cornflakes.
00:56Listen, lovey, I'm not one for rules, but I won't tolerate food in here.
01:01We get rats, see?
01:04Great big things, size of my bosom.
01:07Then they set the dogs on them,
01:09except they don't bother to clean up after.
01:12So it's wall-to-wall rat corpses,
01:15gory in size, smeared over the floor...
01:18Do you mind?
01:21I'm Doreen Coleman.
01:24People call me Dore.
01:28I won't answer to Winder.
01:33What's your name, sweetheart?
01:36Sharon Watts.
01:39Watts?
01:41Yes. Why?
01:43For no reason.
01:51SHE SIGHS
02:08Oi. Wrong side of the bed again, Angel.
02:11Eggs, please, darling.
02:14I won't pay him by the end of the week.
02:16I'll give you another one to match that.
02:20SHE SIGHS
02:37Did I ask for company?
02:39Oh, you'll miss me when you get out of this place.
02:44When's your parole hearing?
02:46Thursday.
02:47It's in the bag, Chris.
02:49Turning cartwheels.
02:51What's the newbie like?
02:52Barreller laughs.
02:54She's got a little boy, just started school.
02:56Officer wouldn't give her a phone call,
02:58so she's sulking in her cell.
03:00What's she in for?
03:02Contempt of court, apparently.
03:05Oh. You'll like this.
03:07She's got your name.
03:09What do you mean, she's got my name?
03:11Watts.
03:12Sharon Watts.
03:15Sharon Watts?
03:16Yeah.
03:18You told me you know her.
03:21Well, you could say that.
03:24I was married to her dad.
03:26Till I killed him.
03:28SHE GASPS
03:33Mrs Carter?
03:37Mrs Carter?
03:41I know.
03:44You've waited a long time for this verdict.
03:48And I hope that in time,
03:50the fact that justice has been served
03:53will provide you with some comfort.
03:59If you think of any questions, you have my number.
04:07I'll show myself out.
04:13Mum?
04:15What's that about?
04:18She's my FLO.
04:22Dean's been jailed for nine years.
04:24Oh.
04:26That's brilliant.
04:28That is the news we've been waiting for.
04:31You're finally free of it.
04:33You can move forward and get on with your life.
04:40I can't.
04:41Darling, don't say that.
04:44You can. Of course you can.
04:46I mean...
04:48have a shower, get dressed, put on some slap
04:51and start putting them pieces back together.
04:53I can't, Mum.
04:55Grandma, why don't I talk to Mum?
04:57I can't because... Mum, Mum.
04:59Don't.
05:01OK, Bernie has gone to Germany.
05:03OK, I just found out from Felix.
05:05It means she is not going to the police.
05:07It means she has had a change of heart.
05:09It means she can't bear to be on the square with us lot.
05:11What's all this about Bernie?
05:13I killed Keanu.
05:17You killed Keanu?
05:23You killed Keanu?
05:25Yes, Mum. Yes.
05:27What on earth are you talking about?
05:29What's she talking about?
05:31Listen, I'm telling you.
05:33It was me at Christmas.
05:35I killed Keanu.
05:39And so I can't move on.
05:43I can't.
05:46I can't.
05:52You're in luck, Chas.
05:54I found an old friend of yours.
05:56I found an old friend of yours.
06:16Of all the prison cells in all the towns in all the world,
06:20what are you doing here?
06:22You know very well what I'm doing here.
06:24What have you just done to get yourself banged up?
06:26Get out.
06:29I said get out.
06:31This isn't the Vic, Sharon.
06:33You can't just sling people out.
06:35I'm in it, Chrissie.
06:37I've got nothing to say to you.
06:39I thought you'd be pleased to see a familiar face.
06:42If you don't get out this second,
06:44I'm going to call the officer...
06:47Your little finger don't mean anything in here.
06:50Besides,
06:52you need a manicure.
06:56Now, Little Bird tells me you want to ring your son.
07:01Well, do your, don't you?
07:04Use mine.
07:06It's OK.
07:08Come on, don't cut off your nose, Sharon.
07:10I'm sure he'll be delighted to hear from his mummy.
07:15Adopted, is he?
07:18No, he's mine.
07:22Wow.
07:24Well, talk about last chance saloon.
07:32No, thank you, Chrissie.
07:35Now, if you don't mind,
07:37I'd really like you to get out.
07:39I'll tell you what.
07:41I'm going to leave this phone here for five minutes.
07:44You do with it what you want.
07:52PHONE BEEPS
08:22PHONE BEEPS
08:35Ow.
08:37How did you do it?
08:39I stabbed him.
08:41Stabbed him?
08:43Yes.
08:44What with?
08:47The meat prong thing.
08:49What?
08:50The thing for probing the meat, the thermometer.
08:52What does it matter?
08:54Where?
08:56In his back.
08:58No, no, no. Where did it happen?
09:00Here.
09:01In the pub?
09:03In the hallway downstairs.
09:05The meat thermometer.
09:07Is that why you went crazy when I tried to use it at Easter?
09:11And you knew?
09:13She told me a while ago.
09:15I was...
09:16I've been trying to keep her going.
09:18He's been my rock.
09:20Well done, Johnny. Great job. Bravo.
09:22Don't have a go at him.
09:24I am not. I don't know what to say.
09:26Look, Mum, I'm telling you all this because we need to be prepared.
09:31Prepared?
09:33I've told the police.
09:35Told them what?
09:36It's the right thing to do.
09:38The right thing to do?
09:39And I've told Bernie.
09:40So it's only a matter of time.
09:42Before what?
09:44I go to prison.
09:45Mum, that is not going to happen.
09:47It's just being paranoid.
09:48The fact you haven't been pulled in means Bernie has had a change of heart.
09:52It means she is not going to tell the police.
09:54I want to be punished, OK? I need to be.
09:56You said he was trying to kill Sharon.
09:59You saved your friend.
10:01Now, that is not murder, is it, Johnny? It's not murder.
10:03They've covered it up.
10:04If it goes to court, that is seven years minimum.
10:07I'm going to talk to a solicitor,
10:09make you Annie and Ollie's legal guardian.
10:11What?
10:12I know it's a lot to take in...
10:13No, no, hold on.
10:15I have barely enough energy to keep this pub afloat.
10:18And you've now just told me that I have sole responsibility
10:21of your little children, one of whom is autistic.
10:25They're your grandchildren.
10:26Not to mention that George is grieving
10:29and playing long-lost families with relatives he doesn't even know anything about.
10:33So it's a no, is it?
10:34You won't look after your own grandchildren when I go to prison?
10:37If... If you go to prison, which you won't.
10:40I didn't say that.
10:42I'm just trying to process all this.
10:44OK, look, this is a big thing to throw at Grandma.
10:47Why don't we all just take a break, OK?
10:49And we can talk about this later.
10:51I knew you'd react like this. Mum.
10:52Yeah, well, I did.
10:53You only ever think about yourself, don't you?
10:55This is not about me!
10:57You have just told me that you killed someone here in our pub
11:01and now all our lives are going to be turned upside down.
11:03Even when you came here to buy half the pub,
11:05you know, help me out of a hole, be my wingwoman for once in your life,
11:08even then I find out it's about Loverboy and not me.
11:11You are a 47-year-old woman, I'm so sorry.
11:13I didn't know you still needed looking after.
11:15I thought you wanted to get on with your own life.
11:17Just for once, just for once, I wanted you to hold me
11:20and tell me everything was going to be OK like normal mums do.
11:23There is nothing normal about this, Linda!
11:37Get through, OK?
11:39Thanks.
11:40Pleasure.
11:42Always happy to help a mate out.
11:44Drop the accuracy.
11:46You ate my guts and I ate yours.
11:48Really? We still there?
11:51Like 19 years haven't passed.
11:53Like we haven't learnt a damn thing between us.
11:55You saying you've mellowed?
11:57No, not exactly.
11:59But the grudges I've chalked up in here,
12:02they make ours look like a playground spat.
12:06You're not even in the top ten anymore.
12:08Yeah? Well, you top mine.
12:10Although my jaw can still remember that right hook you landed.
12:13Mike Tyson would have been proud.
12:15You deserve to.
12:16Go sit down.
12:21What do you want from me, Chrissie?
12:24I don't know.
12:26Just seeing you is...
12:30I still think about him all the time, you know.
12:33Your dad.
12:35Don't you?
12:40I heard about Dennis.
12:42I'm sorry.
12:44Soulmates is...
12:46It's such a soppy word, isn't it?
12:49In some cases, it applies.
12:52I used to think me and your dad were a bit like that.
12:55Please.
12:57He got under my skin like no man ever has.
13:00He could rearrange my thoughts,
13:02even as I was having them.
13:04I can still see him...
13:06leaning against stuff.
13:09The way he'd look at you out the corner of his eye.
13:12The way a smile would start at the side of his mouth,
13:15so you never knew if it was a smile you were getting
13:18or a sneer.
13:20Love and hate.
13:24To feel them both at the same time.
13:28Always a cliche, isn't it?
13:31But to really feel them
13:33boiling through your veins.
13:37It's like you're at war with yourself.
13:39Been taking poetry classes in here, have you?
13:45I missed you, Sharon.
13:47No, really.
13:49We were mates once.
13:51You were my stepmum.
13:53Older men always were my weakness.
13:57Always thought they could teach me the ways of the world.
14:00Look after me.
14:01What about Jake?
14:03He was younger, wasn't he?
14:07You got a man?
14:09A father for that kid of yours?
14:13No?
14:15Well, I'm not one to judge.
14:20He wasn't an easy man to love, your dad.
14:23He could be cold, manipulative, cruel.
14:28That sort of relationship we had.
14:30The age gap.
14:32The lies he told.
14:34Gaslighting, I think they call it these days, don't they?
14:37Coercive, even.
14:40Maybe if I'd used that as a defence, I'd have got off.
14:43Things change, don't they?
14:45What do you want from me, Chrissie?
14:47What do I want from you?
14:50What do I want?
14:55Maybe I want you to admit
14:57that your dad drove me to do the things I did.
15:00Maybe I want you to admit
15:02maybe I want you to admit
15:04that I didn't deserve to spend the best part of my life
15:07in here, locked up,
15:09while everyone else carried on living.
15:11Moving on.
15:13Having kids.
15:15All that normal life stuff.
15:18Maybe that's what I want.
15:24Just wait. Please.
15:26Don't, Johnny, just don't.
15:29Oh, just beat it.
15:31Forgot the brolly. But we had a good time, didn't we?
15:33Yeah.
15:36You all right, lady?
15:39Dad is very lucky to have you, Kojo.
15:41Me and G can't tell the difference between a Ford Fiesta and a...
15:44And a Focus.
15:46I like the Subaru WRX.
15:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:50Turbo four-cylinder really rules, doesn't it?
15:52Oh, yeah?
15:54Well, go on, then, let's have a look.
15:56No!
15:58Look what you've just done!
16:00Sorry, lady. Sorry. I didn't mean to.
16:02No, it's fine. It's fine. I'm all right, OK?
16:04No drama. It's fine.
16:08I can't live like this.
16:17The last thing I ever said to my dad
16:19was that I was an orphan.
16:21I disowned him because of you.
16:23No, Sharon. I held a mirror up and you looked in it
16:26and you recognised the truth.
16:28That's why you disowned him.
16:30Why? Why did you do that?
16:32Because you deserve to know the truth.
16:34No. No, I was a weapon.
16:36You used to hurt him. That's all I was.
16:38The loaded gun.
16:40And I did exactly what you wanted me to do.
16:4319 years.
16:4519 years I've been in here.
16:47And you still think I deserve another kicking?
16:50I ain't going to feel sorry for you.
16:53You always did think you were better than everyone else, didn't you?
16:56No, well, that was his fault too.
16:58Calling you Princess, love-bombing you.
17:00Love-bombing?
17:02He was my dad.
17:04He loved me and you were jealous.
17:06Jealous? Of you?
17:08Hapless little daddy's girl, no backbone,
17:10so desperate for love
17:12you'd give it away to anyone who came along.
17:14The way I see it, you two deserved each other.
17:17Making out my dad was some sort of abuser
17:20and you were the victim.
17:21I never said I was a victim.
17:22If you were so innocent,
17:24why did you act the way you did after?
17:26Blaming Sam?
17:28Trying to get her banged up instead of you?
17:30Because I'm a survivor.
17:32I'm a fighter.
17:34And unless you've been in that position yourself,
17:37you don't know how you're going to act.
17:40He would have killed me that night, Sharon.
17:42He had my head in his hands
17:44and he was smashing it against the fruit machine.
17:46And if Zoe hadn't stepped in,
17:48I'd be dead by now.
17:50And even then he didn't give up.
17:52He grabbed my legs so hard
17:54and he looked at me with pure hatred
17:57and I knew.
17:58I knew it was him or me.
18:01So unless you've been in that position, Sharon,
18:04with a man, a man you love,
18:07trying to kill you,
18:09you've got no right to judge me.
18:17I can't handle any more, George.
18:19Come on.
18:20No, no, no, no.
18:21This is serious.
18:22You've got to listen to me.
18:24I've reached my limit.
18:26He's got to go.
18:27Go?
18:28He's a little bit over the top, isn't he?
18:30He has just attacked my grandson.
18:32And it's not the first time, is it?
18:34He's already hit Martin Fowler.
18:36He didn't mean to do that to Johnny.
18:38He just doesn't know his own strength, that's all.
18:40And that is the problem, George.
18:42He didn't mean to do that to Johnny.
18:44He just doesn't know his own strength, that's all.
18:46And that is the problem.
18:47And it's a big problem.
18:48It was Johnny today.
18:49What if it's Ollie tomorrow?
18:50Or Annie?
18:51How are you going to feel then?
18:53I'll keep an eye on him.
18:54I'll have a word.
18:56I know you feel guilty
18:57and you are trying to do the right thing,
19:00but the way you are dealing with it
19:01could make it much worse.
19:04This is rich, this is.
19:06I've been dealing with your alcoholic daughter for months now,
19:08lurching about,
19:11trying to persuade her when she can't do the school run
19:14or face a shift.
19:15But do you hear me complain?
19:17No.
19:18I just get on with it.
19:19Because she's your family, which means she's mine.
19:23What about me?
19:24My family?
19:25Don't they count?
19:26Or don't you care?
19:27Of course I care about them.
19:28I understand family.
19:30But this is different.
19:31Why?
19:33What do you want me to do?
19:34Send a vulnerable man out into a foreign country?
19:36Of course I'm not saying that.
19:37Then what are you saying?
19:39I can go home.
19:41Kojo.
19:43I want to go home.
19:59Look, Kojo,
20:01listen,
20:03me and Elaine,
20:05we row sometimes
20:06and we say things we don't mean.
20:08But I promise,
20:10we want you here.
20:12We do.
20:17It's difficult
20:19because we don't really know each other, do we?
20:22But that's the point.
20:24We're getting to know each other.
20:29The other thing is,
20:31families,
20:33they're messy,
20:35complicated.
20:41Kojo,
20:42sit, please.
21:06I always wanted siblings.
21:09Growing up, I was lonely.
21:12So I invented them in my head.
21:15Two brothers.
21:18They were older than me,
21:20always cooler than me.
21:24But...
21:27they were going to look out for me
21:29when I got picked on.
21:31They had to tell me I was going to be alright.
21:34Tell me I was alright.
21:41What I'm saying is,
21:46I love you.
21:49I've always loved you.
21:54Because deep down,
21:56I knew that you and Kojo
21:59I knew that you and Kobina were out there somewhere.
22:05Yeah, I'm older than you,
22:07and sometimes I'll have to protect you.
22:13It's in my blood.
22:15It's a real bond.
22:24Elaine.
22:27Elaine loves me.
22:30So she's going to love you.
22:32She will.
22:40Do you understand, Kojo?
22:50Shall I make us a cup of tea and a snack?
22:57Doors says you're in here for contempt of court.
22:59So?
23:00What's the real story?
23:02That's it.
23:03What were you doing there in the first place?
23:07Come on, Sharon.
23:09These tears,
23:11they're fresh.
23:12They're not for den.
23:14Something's happened to you.
23:15It doesn't matter.
23:16It doesn't matter.
23:17It doesn't matter.
23:18It doesn't matter.
23:19It doesn't matter.
23:20It doesn't matter.
23:21It doesn't matter.
23:22It doesn't matter.
23:23It doesn't matter.
23:24Something's happened to you.
23:25It doesn't matter.
23:29I got my parole at the end of the week.
23:32Strange timing, isn't it?
23:34Maybe it's fate that's brought us together.
23:39I never thought I'd ever see you again.
23:42And yet here we are,
23:44two of life's survivors.
23:47What's the story?
23:51Christmas, I was attacked.
23:54My friend saved me like Zoe saved you.
24:00What you said earlier was just close to home.
24:04Who?
24:05What?
24:06Who attacked you?
24:07It doesn't matter.
24:08Did you know him?
24:10Was it a lover?
24:12The father of your kid?
24:14Was he abusive?
24:15No.
24:16No, but you cared about him.
24:17I can see that.
24:24Do you ever get over it?
24:26What?
24:28He died.
24:31He's dead, the man who attacked you.
24:36Like I said,
24:38if Zoe hadn't done what she did,
24:40I'd be dead.
24:42And even then,
24:43seconds after she'd saved my life,
24:45do you know the first thing I said to her?
24:48You killed my husband.
24:50Like she'd done me wrong.
24:53And I meant it.
24:56That's the effect he had on me.
25:00And I still feel like that sometimes.
25:04Because I miss him.
25:07And I'm sad that he's gone.
25:10Does that answer your question?
25:14I missed him.
25:18I know.
25:20And I'm sorry, Sharon.
25:23I'm really sorry.
25:30And you're right.
25:31I did use you to hurt him.
25:34I stooped to his level.
25:36And I shouldn't have.
25:38I should have left that relationship years ago,
25:40but I couldn't.
25:42You're like magnets.
25:50Anyway, I'll leave you to it, Sharon.
25:52Too much has passed between us.
25:54We're never going to see eye to eye.
25:58Wait.
26:01What?
26:04I forgive you, Chrissie.
26:10You forgive me?
26:11Yes.
26:16Thank you, Sharon.
26:20And, uh,
26:23don't worry about your time in here.
26:26I've got your back.
26:48Kaja?
26:53Kaja?
26:55Where is he?
27:04Girls, have you seen Kaja?
27:07No.
27:11George?
27:13He must be on out.
27:15On his own.
27:16Shall I come with you?
27:18No.
27:19You've done enough.
27:50Chris, you made your point this morning.
27:52I'm working on it, all right?
27:54I'll cancel your debt
27:56if you do me a favour.
28:01That new girl,
28:03I want you to teach her a lesson.
