00:00Music
00:25Yes, Harry.
00:26Alright?
00:27Listen, I know it's, um, I don't know quite about it now, but, um, just wondering if I could bring my car in later.
00:32Yeah. I just got to shift my dad's motor first, but you bring it around this afternoon if you want.
00:36Thank you. I appreciate that, yeah? Oh, you're playing?
00:39All right.
00:40Oi! Are you studying on a day off?
00:43No, just reading for pleasure.
00:45How are we related?
00:47You'd love this, Tempest.
00:49It's basically like a gangster movie.
00:51Italian geezer gets cast out of the mob, creates this whole revenge plot.
00:55No, no, no. Hear me out. Shakespeare, all right?
00:58It's the 16th-century Martin Scorsese one.
01:01It'll be five minutes and then you'll need to shut up.
01:04It's not on.
01:05It's all right.
01:11Are you sure?
01:12Yeah.
01:14Dad.
01:18Is it?
01:20Look at some morning.
01:22Just this car.
01:24I know.
01:25But I still think...
01:27I know what you think.
01:28Mate, can you turn that down, please?
01:30Come on.
01:32Just got to get something sorted first.
01:35What are you saying?
01:36To get some money behind us to support us until we get settled.
01:39Me, Whitney, Dolly...
01:41and Barney.
01:44Oh, come on, Zach.
01:46He is going to want to be with his mum and dad.
01:48He doesn't know his mum. He's a murderer.
01:49I'm going to take my car into Harry later and use that to get closer to him.
01:54Even if you became his best mate, it would all change when he found out the truth.
01:59You are about to rip her family apart.
02:01What about Nicola?
02:03What is she going to do to you?
02:04Make sure she can't find us.
02:07Just need some cash.
02:12Me?
02:12I'm already in debt to Sharon.
02:17She wouldn't want you doing this, either.
02:18Fine.
02:19What are you doing?
02:20If you can't help me, I'll find someone who can.
02:23I've got to do something, haven't I?
02:29Right, just run it through one more time.
02:31Crossborough is this all-powerful Duke of Milan.
02:36Yeah.
02:36Right.
02:37Got it.
02:38So, then he has this magic fairy that gets to do all his dirty work.
02:41Wait, hang on.
02:42There was no magic fairy in The Godfather.
02:44Fairies aren't real.
02:45Yeah, exactly, coach.
02:46Yeah, all right.
02:47Let me explain to you one more time.
02:48Go on, then.
02:49Well, they live on this island...
02:50Let me guess.
02:52Shakespeare wrote the first gangster movie.
02:55What do you want?
02:57Look, I just came over to see if you fancied a drink later.
03:02Or a bit of food.
03:03You know, don't have to get into anything heavy.
03:05No pressure or nothing.
03:07Just a beer.
03:08I think you should.
03:10Come on, his dad.
03:12I've got to try and find a way through this.
03:21Sweet.
03:29You all right?
03:30You, uh...
03:31You think you're not doing some mega-magnet, like?
03:34Birthday breakfast, is it?
03:37What your birthday was yesterday?
03:38I didn't get a cake.
03:40It's not really a birthday, is it, if you don't get a cake?
03:43Well, you didn't want a fuss.
03:46Who's making a fuss?
03:47You're making a fuss.
03:48You said you landed off to cook a meal, wasn't that?
03:51I didn't want a meal.
03:53What are you banging on about?
03:54Well, I don't know.
03:54You just, uh...
03:55You seem upset.
03:57It's not even my birthday, Annie.
03:59What's going on, then?
04:13Why do you need a loan?
04:17What sort of trouble are you in?
04:18It's messy.
04:22I just need to leave you on them for a bit.
04:24Maybe I can help.
04:26Talks me.
04:27I've just got a bit of a situation
04:32with, um...
04:34Nicola Mitchell.
04:41Pass me the sugar.
04:47I'll work for him.
04:50Don't take any chances.
04:52Not with her.
04:53What's for your dealer?
04:56And the rest.
04:57All right, we're done.
04:58Do you owe her money?
04:59No, nothing like that.
05:01Okay.
05:03Have you had a thing with her?
05:06You have.
05:07All right.
05:09Come on, Zay.
05:10You can trust me.
05:10She wants me out of the picture.
05:15Because, um...
05:19Her boy Barney is mine.
05:23Yeah.
05:26And now I know he's my son.
05:27I don't want him to get anything to do with that family.
05:29Listen, mate, tell me I'm mad.
05:30I just...
05:31No, no, no, no, you're right to worry.
05:34She's wrapped up in all sorts of stuff.
05:36She came to me the other week needing her favour.
05:40Asked me to move her body.
05:43Would you go to the police?
05:44Are you mad?
05:45Mate, that's what I need.
05:46Get her out of the picture.
05:46I can talk to Barney and get him away from you.
05:48Well, that's what you want the money for,
05:49to get Barney away from you?
05:50She threatened, Whitney.
05:51I've had to send her into hiding.
05:53Please.
05:53No, mate.
05:54You need to drop it and keep your mouth shut.
05:56Trust me, she's that dangerous
05:57and you will end up in a body bank.
06:02I'm sorry I can't help you.
06:05Mate, come back.
06:08I'm sorry.
06:08I'm sorry.
06:08I'm sorry.
06:11I'm sorry.
06:34Shouldn't you be revising?
06:36Unless you've found the exam papers online.
06:39What do you want, honey?
06:40I don't know, I just feel bad.
06:42It's been kind of tense between us and I'm sorry about that.
06:45I ain't really in the mood of this, you know.
06:47I just want you to say hi.
06:48Yeah, cool.
06:49Is this about you and Joel?
06:51Are you together now?
06:52What?
06:53Sorry, what have you heard?
06:54Just stuff.
06:55Yeah, well, mind your business, okay?
06:57Because you don't know nothing.
07:03Oh, wait.
07:04That's a bit harsh, isn't it?
07:06I don't know.
07:07It's probably my fault.
07:08No, don't be so tough on yourself.
07:09Come on.
07:10I just wanted to be happy.
07:12Okay, then take my advice.
07:14If you really care about someone,
07:16never give up on them.
07:19Thanks.
07:20Bye.
07:21You all right?
07:22Yeah, I see.
07:23Well, she's gone to Staten's.
07:24Oh, poor Stace.
07:25Yeah, I think she just wanted to get away to her head, you know.
07:26God bless her and those children.
07:27I just think we all need a little bit of good news, don't we?
07:28I mean, I was just thinking about Lauren and little Jimmy.
07:29Oh, yes.
07:30All on top of our Brondie early, isn't it?
07:31Hey, listen, I don't know about good news, but I do have some breaking news.
07:32Old Phil Mitchell fancies himself as a master baker.
07:33Alfie!
07:34Hey, Phil, make sure you give it a good stir,
07:35because you really don't want to end up with a soggy button.
07:36Oh, no.
07:37I don't know about good news, but I do have some breaking news.
07:39Old Phil Mitchell fancies himself as a master baker.
07:41Alfie!
07:42Hi, Phil.
07:43Hey, Phil, make sure you give it a good stir,
07:45because you really don't want to end up with a soggy button.
07:51Okay!
07:52That was awkward.
07:53Phil, can I give you this birthday card for Nigel Lans?
07:54It's a bit believable today.
07:55It's a bit believable today.
07:56Whose star is his birthday?
07:58Alfie?
07:59Hey, Phil, make sure you give it a good stir
08:00because you really don't want to end up with a soggy bottom.
08:05OK, that was awkward.
08:07Phil, can I give you this birthday card for Nigel?
08:10It's a bit me late today.
08:11It's Nigel's birthday?
08:13Oh, why didn't we celebrate?
08:15He said he didn't want the fuss.
08:16Seems to have changed his tune, that's normally.
08:19Have you got the uproar here?
08:20Cos I've been getting a cake.
08:21Oh.
08:23Oh, so you're gonna make him one, then?
08:26What about it?
08:26Well, I didn't see you pop a man to Billy's with a birthday cake.
08:30Just saying.
08:32Third of May.
08:34You had a difficult morning, then.
08:36Yeah, he was shy in a mild eyes.
08:39Birthday of what it was about.
08:40Well, he was a little short with me as well.
08:43I think he was upset above clear.
08:45It was her 40th a few days ago.
08:49Just talk to him.
08:51A few choice words is a lot easier than baking a cake.
08:54A few choice words is a lot easier than baking a cake.
08:55I don't know.
08:56I don't know.
08:57I don't know.
08:58I don't know.
08:59I don't know.
09:00I don't know.
09:01I don't know.
09:02Yeah, please, don't tell anyone.
09:04No, of course not.
09:05Okay.
09:06Just a bit lost with it all.
09:11And if Martin was still here...
09:13I know.
09:14I know.
09:14If we talk about her big stuff, then he'd just make a joke.
09:20He couldn't be serious for too long.
09:25I'm missing Linda.
09:28Have you called Sharon?
09:30Well, she knows.
09:32Just don't want to worry her while she's away.
09:35Well, look.
09:37Yeah, she's my best mate.
09:38Why don't you try talking to me like you talk to her?
09:47I just feel like I could give Barney a better chance in life.
09:52Teenagers, though.
09:53It's harder than you think.
09:55Did all right with Tommy, didn't I?
09:57Yeah, I suppose.
09:59Not just the fun stuff.
10:00I'm a foster parent.
10:01I've got what it takes.
10:02Do you know what?
10:02I'm ready.
10:03I'm ready to step up and be a proper dad.
10:05I don't really think Nicola could kill me.
10:15She's that dangerous?
10:16Yes.
10:17Harry was in love with Shireen.
10:20Her own son.
10:21The love of his life.
10:23Nicola killed her.
10:24What?
10:25Yeah.
10:27She admitted it.
10:28She told me.
10:30Okay.
10:31I mean, maybe she did, but it was probably an accident.
10:34Not an accident.
10:34She meant it.
10:35She says she'd do it again.
10:38Well, then...
10:39Then why would you risk all this?
10:41You know, you've got Dolly as well.
10:43You can't be anything to anyone if you're dead.
10:46I can't sit back and do nothing.
10:49Then...
10:50Think like a parent.
10:53You know, if you say you're ready to step up,
10:57what's the most responsible, grown-up thing to do
11:00if you think your son is living with a killer?
11:05Go to the police.
11:08Zach!
11:08Yeah, mate.
11:13I'm sorry, mate,
11:14for shutting you down like that.
11:16Yeah?
11:18Now, look,
11:18I've made a few phone calls
11:20and I can get you that money.
11:22Oh, it's...
11:22It's all right.
11:23He doesn't need it.
11:23He's, um...
11:25He's going to do the right thing.
11:26Women,
11:34they blow hot and cold all the time, mate.
11:36So, you don't think I should try and talk to her?
11:40Look, I know you like her,
11:42but if she keeps treating you like this,
11:43there comes a time when you just have to walk away.
11:48You're a good kid, right?
11:50She's the problem.
11:52Not you.
11:53Right.
11:54I'm making bacon sarnie for lunch.
11:57Who wants in?
11:58No, I'm eating Harry.
11:59What?
12:00Oh, I'll come with you.
12:01No.
12:02Well, Chelsea can manage at the bar.
12:03This is huge, Ted.
12:04I know it is,
12:05and that's why you ain't coming.
12:06What's that supposed to mean?
12:07If you're going to argue,
12:08I'm just going to go.
12:09Mate, you don't have to go.
12:10See ya.
12:14What are you kicking off for?
12:15Upsetting him?
12:16Why are you planning to meet up with our son without me?
12:18If you show up, he'll freak out.
12:20You want to mend things?
12:21You got my pace.
12:23Understood?
12:31I'm telling you,
12:32Nicola Mitchell keeps your room for sure.
12:34And how do you know this?
12:35She told me,
12:36and then she threatened to do the same to me.
12:39And were there any witnesses in the room
12:40when she said this?
12:42Oh, no.
12:43So it's your word against hers.
12:44She asked someone I know
12:46to move the body for her.
12:48And who was that?
12:48I can't say.
12:52Are they prepared to make a statement about it?
12:53No, but I swear to you,
12:55it happened, all right?
12:56What is your relationship with this Nicola Mitchell?
13:01I was her personal trainer,
13:03and we had a thing.
13:04An ex-girlfriend, then?
13:05Sort of.
13:06I don't know,
13:06but she didn't want no fella finding out
13:08for all sorts of reasons.
13:08He attacked me and all.
13:09They're dangerous.
13:10And did you report this attack?
13:12I was scared, all right?
13:13She's killed someone.
13:14He's coming up to protect her.
13:15Please,
13:16you don't muck about with these people.
13:21You don't believe me, do you?
13:23I can see she's already been brought in
13:25for questioning about this murder.
13:27No charges were brought against her.
13:29There's no new evidence here.
13:31This is all hearsay.
13:34Anything else?
13:37Yeah.
13:41Yeah, she told me how she killed her.
13:44Pushed her.
13:46She hit her skull on a rock,
13:47and she watched her die.
13:48None of that has been released to the public,
13:50but she told me,
13:51there is your proof.
13:52It's, uh,
14:16from your land, eh?
14:17Birthday card.
14:20Did you ask her to write it?
14:22No, of course I didn't.
14:23Were you all right, Nick?
14:25No.
14:28I know that I...
14:30I didn't get you a cake yesterday,
14:33and I'm sorry,
14:33is that what's upsetting you?
14:37Do you wish
14:38we'd have done something to celebrate?
14:42Was this about Claire?
14:47Felt wrong to celebrate just me.
14:50Because I wasn't there for her,
14:53but then I thought,
14:55I'm missing out.
14:58I don't know how many more birthdays I've got left.
15:02How many where I actually know what's going on.
15:07Let's...
15:09Let's do something, yeah?
15:11You know,
15:12it's not too late,
15:12there's...
15:14Whatever you want,
15:16yeah?
15:16I'm going to go to the cinema.
15:19All right.
15:20All right, let's do it.
15:23All right.
15:23Oh, every single shift,
15:31I see you charging that thing behind the bar.
15:34Who do you think pays for that electricity, eh?
15:36Sorry.
15:36I should start docking your wages.
15:38Claire.
15:39Don't you start defending her.
15:40You are just as bad.
15:42What?
15:42How'd it go?
16:01Yeah,
16:02I did what I could.
16:03Yeah, well,
16:04I'm proud of you.
16:05This is not just about Barney,
16:06is it?
16:07A young girl was murdered.
16:09I wouldn't have gone to the police.
16:10I think it's a risk.
16:12Yeah, but
16:12you've got to do what you've got to do,
16:13I know.
16:14You know,
16:15Avani,
16:15she's not been in my life for years.
16:17I won't lose her now.
16:20I'm glad you came.
16:21Look,
16:22I ain't talking nothing heavy, yeah?
16:23Well,
16:24we stick to football and cars,
16:25then, eh?
16:25Get your hands off me!
16:27What have you done now?
16:29I ain't done nothing.
16:30This is a watch hunt.
16:36Is this...
16:37Is this still about Benji?
16:39I don't know.
16:40I guess.
16:42Mate,
16:43don't...
16:43No, don't!
16:47I'm going to talk to him.
16:48No!
16:49I let the police deal with it.
16:50They won't keep her long
16:51when she gets out.
16:52She will come for me,
16:53so I'm going to do this now.
16:55No,
16:55then, then, then, then.
16:56I can't let him go
16:57on his own,
16:58can I?
16:58Sharon will never forgive me.
17:03And,
17:04we should totally start
17:05looking at flats,
17:06hmm?
17:06Already?
17:07Yeah,
17:08I mean,
17:08Dad's on board now.
17:09I could...
17:10I could help you
17:10fill out applications.
17:12Oh, hello.
17:13Are you excited
17:14about Koja getting
17:14his own place?
17:16Yeah,
17:16that's great.

17:20He's not fine.
17:21No.

18:10Shireen.
18:14Your mum killed her.
18:16Wait,

18:16about that?
18:17She told me,

18:19What did you just say?
18:20Just,
18:20just listen to him
18:22for a second.
18:22She threatened me,
18:24warned me to keep
18:25my mouth shut,
18:26said that she'd kill me
18:27like she killed Shireen.
18:29Mouth shut about what?
18:30It's me and her
18:34we had this thing.
18:38Sixteen years ago.
18:42Sixteen years.
18:47Barney's mind.
18:53I wouldn't know
18:54how to turn a lie.
18:55I am an open book,
18:57mate.
18:57Hmm.
18:58Well,
18:59the guys from
18:59Dartford Police Station
19:00weren't exactly
19:01singing your praises.
19:03Oh,
19:03them,
19:04yeah.
19:04They haven't done him
19:05for me for years.
19:06I think
19:07they've got issues
19:08with strong women.
19:10You must get a lot
19:11of that in this job.
19:12See,
19:13you've been in prison
19:14as well.
19:14Doesn't exactly
19:15scream honesty,
19:16does it?
19:17Well,
19:17what can I say?
19:18What can I say?
19:19Prison changed me.
19:20And this is the second time
19:21your name's come up
19:22in relation to
19:23Shireen Bashar's murder.
19:25What can you tell me
19:26about the night
19:27she disappeared?
19:29You've got my alibi
19:30on record.
19:32Do we need to go over it again?
19:33What about the way
19:34she was killed?
19:35Have you ever talked
19:36to anyone about that?
19:37Yeah,
19:37I heard a bloke
19:40called Benji
19:41mouthing off about it.
19:43You know Benji.
19:44He's obsessed with me
19:45and in prison
19:46for her murder.
19:48He told me
19:50that he pushed her,
19:53heard her skull crack
19:54and then watched her
19:57bleed out.
19:59You know,
19:59he's another one
20:00who struggles
20:01with strong women.
20:03And you didn't think
20:04to report it?
20:05What,
20:07and have him do
20:07the same to me?
20:08No chance.
20:10Did you know
20:11where Shireen Bashar
20:12was buried?
20:13Course not.
20:15Did you ask anyone
20:16to help you
20:16move her body?
20:18Is this a joke?
20:21No.
20:22I didn't.
20:23Can you think
20:24of any reason
20:25why someone
20:26would be giving us
20:26all this information
20:27about you?
20:29Well,
20:30like I said,
20:33are strong women.
20:35We just rub people
20:36up the wrong way,
20:37don't we?
20:40Your mum's dangerous.
20:42She's been lying
20:43to everyone.
20:44If you heard
20:45what she said
20:46about Shireen,
20:46she weren't sorry
20:47for killing her.
20:49Not one bit.
20:51I mean,
20:52she was proud of it.
20:52No.
20:53No,
20:53it was just to scare you off.
20:55That's all that would have been.
20:56I saw it in her eyes.
20:57She's been threatening
20:58the mother of Zach's
20:58little girl.
20:59Yeah.
21:00Found out where she lived,
21:01I've had to send them
21:02into hiding.
21:05Did you call the police today?
21:08That was you,
21:08wasn't it?
21:09Yeah,
21:09what if I did?
21:11Do you not want justice
21:12for Shireen?
21:13Do you not want
21:13the truth, mate?
21:15I'm sorry,
21:16but your mum is a killer.
21:17Your dad is lying
21:18to protect her,
21:19which is just as bad,
21:21just as dangerous.
21:23I think you know
21:24deep down,
21:24don't you?
21:25Yeah.
21:25Yeah.
21:29You know.
21:30You know what
21:31they're capable of.
21:35Barney,
21:36he ain't safe with them
21:38and he deserves
21:39a better life.
21:42What are you saying?
21:43I want to take him
21:44away from here,
21:45all right?
21:45I want to take him
21:46away from her
21:46and I want you
21:47to convince him
21:48he trusts you,
21:49he will listen to you,
21:50mate.
21:51You're going to
21:51take him away?
21:52Look, Zach.
21:53Yes,
21:53take him away
21:54to protect him,
21:54please,
21:55you're his brother.
21:56Do the right thing,
21:57Harry.
22:01I need to leave
22:02tonight.
22:03And we both know
22:04your mum will talk
22:05about that police station.
22:06She will come for me.
22:10Talk to Barney.
22:15Please.
22:22I need to think
22:23this through.
22:23tonight, Harry.
22:29I need to think.
22:44You all right?
22:45Yeah.
22:47Yeah,
22:47they've still got
22:47nothing on me.
22:48How are we going to
22:49explain this to Harry?
22:51I could send him
22:52off the rails.
22:53Just tell him the truth.
22:55Someone's been
22:55stirring things up.
22:57Oh.
22:59Benji again?
23:01Yeah, Benji.
23:02Someone he's been
23:03blabbing to.
23:04I don't know.
23:05I'll tell you one thing.
23:07Whoever it is,
23:09they are going to pay
23:10for messing with me.
23:11Come on.
23:16Like, is it funny?
23:17No.
23:18She's honestly so trash.
23:19You would not let her
23:20anywhere near your boyfriend.
23:22She's a proper
23:23little tramp.
23:25So embarrassing.
23:26I wouldn't show my face
23:27again if I was her.
23:29Waste my girl off the streets.
23:31My girl off the streets.
23:32Are people trolling you
23:34about the Joel thing?
23:41He said you knew
23:42all about it.
23:43That Sharon had asked
23:44you to look up.
23:45Yeah.
23:46I just can't believe
23:47he stole Harry.
23:48I did try and stop him.
23:50They tried to warn him
23:51of danger she was.
23:52Grossing on someone
23:53like Nicola.
23:55What does he think
23:55is going to happen?
23:56What choice did he have?
23:58She confessed to a murder.
24:02Anything?
24:05No.
24:07Don't hear from Harry tonight.
24:09I'm going to have to go
24:10on my own.
24:12Oh, Zach.
24:13The money's on the table.
24:15Yeah.
24:17It's never going to be easy
24:18trying to divide a family.
24:20My blood's thicker than water.
24:21That's why it hurts.
24:23Barney is my blood.
24:33Barney?
24:36Barney, you in, mate?
24:40How are we going to
24:40explain this to him?
24:42People would have seen
24:43you getting arrested.
24:44No gets about.
24:45And he ain't stupid.
24:47Leave it with me.
24:48Yeah.
24:50Leave it with her.
24:52Because you're a master
24:53when it comes to lying,
24:54isn't you?
24:54Oh, don't you start.
24:55I've had enough of all that
24:56from the old bill.
24:58Who wants a cuppa
24:59or a glass or something?
25:01I spoke to Zach.
25:02What do you think
25:04he told me?
25:05Mate, come on.
25:06Ask her.
25:10Zach's a troublemaker
25:12with a grudge against me.
25:14Hmm.
25:15Is that why you're
25:15threatening to kill him?
25:18As if I'd
25:19waste my breath on Zach.
25:21I'm going to ask you
25:22one more time.
25:24And do not lie to me.
25:28Did you kill Shireen?
25:31No.
25:32Sam, whatever you've heard.
25:33Stop defending her.
25:34No, look, listen to me.
25:35She slept with Zach.
25:37What?
25:41Sixteen years ago.
25:45She's playing you for a right mug
25:46and has been for years.
25:49Because you ain't Barney's dad.
25:55Zach is.
25:56It's.
25:59Oh, yeah.
25:59No.
26:00It's.
26:03I'm like, I'm going to mover it.
26:03I'm going to give you the
26:04son of the way to make it easier.
26:05But I want to wait.
26:06Because part.
26:06She sits here on the earth.
26:07I have, great ways to respect for it.
26:07I am going to give you a würde.
26:08This is a good timegiving,
