00:00Music
00:28Deny it then, go on
00:29It's ridiculous
00:31So Zach can't buy on his dad?
00:33Of course he's not
00:35He's not, Ted
00:36It's a bunch of liars to just stir up trouble
00:38And why would he do that?
00:39Because I sacked him and your dad beat him up
00:42He's sick in the head, I don't know
00:44Barney
00:46Zach
00:47He's a Mitchell, Ted
00:49He's the spit of your dad at his age
00:51You know that?
00:52Yeah
00:53Yeah, but what I like about that
00:56I don't know, yeah? Utter madness
01:00You didn't even know him back then
01:02Did you?
01:04Nick
01:05He was my personal trainer for a few months
01:09I mean, we maybe had a bit of a flirt
01:12Is this why he's been sniffing around Barney?
01:14Nothing happened, I promise you
01:15Then I'll go round here and talk to him yourself
01:17No!
01:18What are you talking about?
01:19Remember?
01:20If he is making lies up
01:21Trashing your reputation
01:22Claiming to be the father of my son
01:24Then someone needs to teach him a lesson
01:26You can't!
01:27Why not, eh?
01:28Because if you've got nothing to hide
01:30And he is making it up
01:31Then why can't I go round there?
01:33Tell me!
01:35Tell me the truth!
01:36I have
01:38Then why are you looking so guilty?
01:42Come on
01:44Because whatever happens, I'm gonna get a DNA test
01:46You can pitch your life on that
01:48Ted
01:49Zack reckons dad's blood types don't match Barney
01:52That's proof, innit?
01:53No!
01:54And it's not like you ain't capable of doing something like this
01:58So this is your one and only chance
02:00To come clean
02:03Is Barney my son?
02:07My biological son?
02:16Well, friends is the new family
02:25That's what they say now, Billy
02:26Hmm
02:27But family
02:28Should be the new family
02:30Old family
02:31The only family
02:32Han
02:33I didn't want a birthday card from Phil, alright?
02:36Cake
02:37Billy
02:38Phil was gonna make Nigel a cake
02:40Okay, alright
02:41So if Phil made you a cake
02:44Would you eat it?
02:46Probably not
02:47No
02:48That's my cake
02:50Look, all I want
02:52Is a box of cherry baked rolls
02:55And a night on the couch
02:56With my beautiful Mrs
02:59Alright, sold
03:00Good
03:02Cheers
03:05How long you gonna give it?
03:06I don't know
03:07The chances of Barney showing up here with a packed bag
03:10What, lower than Nicola turning up with a loaded gun?
03:12Well, since you got her arrested
03:14Yeah
03:15I think she's right, mate
03:17You should leave while you still can
03:21It was a meaningless fling with some guy in the gym, alright?
03:25It was a stupid mistake
03:28But back then, Teddy
03:30You and me, we were in a horrible place
03:33We were barely talking
03:34And
03:37You won't come in near me
03:38So you got it elsewhere
03:40I'm sorry
03:42I am sorry
03:44But our marriage wasn't perfect
03:45And you know it as well as I do
03:49But when I found out I was pregnant
03:52Everything changed
03:54You know
03:55You changed
03:59You were different towards me, you know
04:01Kinda
04:02Somehow
04:03Somehow
04:04And
04:06It was like you'd fallen back in love with me
04:09And
04:11In
04:12That moment
04:13We became a family again
04:15But it wasn't mine
04:19Fifteen years
04:21Of love
04:22And understanding
04:24Every day
04:26You know
04:27Unwavering
04:29Unconditional
04:30Love
04:31That
04:32That is what makes you
04:33Is that
04:35I don't know
04:37How long has Zac known?
04:39He's only just found out
04:41Forget about Zac, alright?
04:42He's nothing to any of us
04:43Honestly
04:44Teddy
04:46I have always had
04:48Everything
04:49I needed
04:50In you
04:51Yeah
04:53Me
04:54Total
04:55Muck
04:56You know
04:57I've lived
04:58My life
04:59Dealing with all your dramas
05:00Putting up with the chaos
05:02And I'm still doing it now
05:03Cause I wanted what was best
05:05For Barney
05:06Well this is what's best for Barney
05:08Okay, it's best for all of us
05:10What, living with a murderer?
05:11I've got how many more times?
05:13It wasn't me, okay?
05:15It wasn't me
05:20I can't
05:22Listen
05:23To any more
05:24Or any of this
05:28I need to see Barney
05:29No Teddy, please
05:32He doesn't need to know
05:34So everyone knows about you and Joel
05:42Look, these people
05:44This stupid Dina
05:46She's just a bully
05:48No one has the right to troll you like this
05:51It's a crime
05:52You could go to the police
05:54The police?
05:56And what do you think they're gonna do?
05:58They'll help you
05:59No Barney, the police
06:01They don't care
06:02They don't give a damn about people like me
06:04Do you understand?
06:05What?
06:06They don't
06:07They treat us like trash
06:08And the worst part is
06:09They think it as well
06:10Yes they do
06:11And now everyone I know
06:12Thinks that about me
06:13No that's not true
06:14I'm just gonna have to drop out of school
06:16I can't go back there
06:17Not after this
06:18I can't
06:20I can't do this anymore
06:23Just get out of my way
06:24Shout and scream as much as you want
06:25But please
06:26Don't destroy Barney's life
06:27You think he deserves to know his real daddy?
06:29It's you Ted
06:30You
06:31The man who brought him up
06:32Come on mum
06:33Zach ain't lying about Barney
06:35And I don't think he's lying about Shireen either
06:37I told you what happened
06:38You are a liar
06:40Okay
06:47Look
06:50Zach isn't lying
06:52I told him I killed Shireen
06:55And I said I would do it again
06:58To protect my family
06:59Right because
07:00Because that
07:01Is what I thought he needed to hear
07:03To stay quiet
07:04Okay
07:05He knew about Barney
07:06And I was so terrified of that secret coming out
07:09That I convinced him I was some sort of hit woman
07:12But I'm not that sweetheart
07:15I am a tiger mum
07:18They will fight for my boys
07:20But I am not capable of murder
07:22Look ask your dad
07:23He'll tell you
07:24And he wouldn't lie to you would he?
07:26He wouldn't lie to you would he?
07:32She didn't kill her
07:36Teddy
07:37You know
07:38That everything I do
07:40Is for the love of my boys
07:42Bonnie
07:43Is a good kid
07:45And he loves you so much
07:47Just
07:48Just be
07:49The bigger man
07:51And put him first
07:53The bigger man?
07:56You are lucky
07:59I don't trick you into the street
08:01And throw you in the gutter
08:03Because that is where you belong
08:12Harry
08:15Please
08:18You know Zach
08:19Wants to take Barney away from here
08:21Reckons he could bring him up better than you could
08:24What?
08:25Thinks you're a danger to him
08:28I think he's right
08:35Excuse me Nicola
08:42So you're off to the cinema then yeah?
08:51Yeah
08:52Posh one
08:53She's got sofas
08:54Oh lovely
08:55Splashing out saving on the extortionate price of popcorn
08:57I'll get it
08:58Do you ever just save the price and save the money?
09:00Service with the smile is a minute mark way
09:01Exactly honey
09:02So come on what are you going to see?
09:03Well they're running an old classic

09:10Yeah yeah he's running up the street
09:11That's right
09:12And they're playing a

09:15And the big Russian bloke
09:16That damn's Rocky 3
09:17No no no it wasn't Rocky 3
09:18Yes it was
09:19It wasn't Rocky 4
09:20It's definitely not Rocky 4
09:21Yes it is Rocky 4
09:22It could be Rocky 5
09:23What are you going on about?
09:24What's all about Rocky?
09:25You've seen them?
09:26Yeah everybody's seen Rocky
09:27Okay honey

09:30Why don't you go and see a brand new film?
09:31Because they want to go and see Rocky
09:32Barney Babe
09:33It's your mum
09:34Erm
09:35Where are you darling?
09:36Look everything's fine
09:37There's nothing to worry about
09:38It's just
09:39Why?
09:40Are you drinking?
09:41No mum honestly it's hers but we never touched it
09:42If you are leading my son astray
09:43I will come down on you like a ton of bricks
09:44Well go on then you miserable cow
09:45She didn't mean that
09:46Yeah I did
09:47She's just upset because people are trolling her online
09:48Can you shut up?
09:49She did was sleep with Joel
09:50Barney
09:51Right
09:52Right
09:53I'm sorry
09:54I'm sorry
09:55I'm sorry
09:56I'm sorry
09:57I'm sorry
09:58I'm sorry
09:59I'm sorry
10:00I'm sorry
10:01I'm sorry
10:02I'm sorry
10:03I'm sorry
10:04I'm sorry
10:05I'm sorry
10:06I'm sorry
10:07I'm sorry
10:08I'm sorry
10:09I'm sorry
10:10Right
10:12Let me get this straight
10:14Some pathetic girls are trying to shame you online right?
10:19Take my advice of Arnie
10:21You don't stand for it
10:22Right?
10:24So you slept with some guy
10:25So what?
10:26I mean they calling him a tramp?
10:28They trolling him online?
10:30No
10:31Course they ain't
10:32Cause for some reason
10:33Women still get judged by a different standard to men
10:37Well don't have it
10:39You tell those misogynists where to go
10:42And start owning who you are
10:46I do regret it though
10:48Yeah and that's alright
10:50I mean
10:51There's a lot in my past
10:53I don't feel great about
10:58But no one
10:59Has the right to judge you for your decisions
11:01Right?
11:02And they'll try
11:03Believe me
11:04But they're just jealous
11:05Insecure
11:06Scumbags
11:07Who want to see you crumble
11:09So don't you let them
11:11You have to be strong
11:12Know your worth
11:13And know how great you are of Arnie
11:16Yeah?
11:20Oh come here
11:25Thank you
11:26Well you don't have to thank me Barney
11:29And your mum
11:31Is what I'm here for
11:39You alright?
11:41No
11:42I feel like someone's ripped something away from me
11:47Like pulled it out of me
11:50It's still there
11:52It still feels like my little boy
11:55And it shouldn't be any different
11:57But somehow
11:59Somehow
12:01Listen it
12:02It don't make no difference to me
12:03Alright?
12:04It's you, me and Barn
12:05We are still the boys
12:07And where does he fit in then?
12:10The biological dad
12:11Listen, you ain't got to worry about that right now
12:13No I do
12:14I do have to worry about it
12:17Because over time
12:18Things have changed
12:19They will
12:20They have to
12:21And my little boy
12:25He won't be my little boy anymore
12:28No your mum
12:30She is proper boys
12:33She said she loved her kids
12:34But it's
12:37This
12:39When
12:41When Barney finds out
12:44He's gonna kill him
12:46Gonna kill
12:47Okay, what are you gonna do?
12:48I don't know
12:50I just gotta find him
12:51I don't
12:52I just gotta find him
12:57Come here
12:59It don't have to be forever
13:01You just keep your head down
13:02See how this plays out
13:04And make sure you ring Sharon
13:05I will
13:07I think Sharon could be a target when she gets back
13:09Truthfully
13:10I don't like me
13:11Trust me
13:12Sharon's gone toe to toe with scary and Mitchell women in her
13:17It's Harry
13:20He wants to meet me at the Arches
13:22What, has he told Barney?
13:23I don't know
13:24You have to be careful
13:26Right, I'll come with you
13:27No mate, I'm sweet, honestly
13:29You sure?
13:30Yeah, sure
13:31Thank you
13:36I think this is it
13:39I'm gonna get Barney out of here
13:43See you in a minute
13:49Your mum's pretty cool by the way
13:51What was she in prison for again?
13:52Dodgy cosmetic surgery
13:54Oh, right
13:55Yeah
13:56Cool
14:00All right?
14:02Yeah
14:04I've just been looking for you
14:05What's up?
14:08Have you seen your mum?
14:10Yeah, why?
14:12She was, um
14:14Arrested earlier
14:15What?
14:16It was a misunderstanding
14:18Should I come home?
14:19No, no
14:20No, no, it's good
14:21It's, it's good
14:22Everything's, it's good
14:24Are you all right, Dad?
14:26Yeah, yeah, of course
14:28Look, you two hang here and
14:30I'll catch you later, yeah?
14:32Yeah, all right
14:33All right
14:39I'm fine
14:41Honestly
14:42Me or not, Phil
14:43We can see that
14:44Well, his mum's got up and down
14:45It's just part of looking after him
14:47It's hard on anyone
14:49I'm fine
14:50Listen, um
14:53How about if me and Honey take
14:55Take him to the pictures, eh?
14:56He'd give you a little break, wouldn't he?
14:58No, no
14:59You don't know what it can be like
15:00A couple of hours sitting in the dark
15:02How wrong could that be, eh?
15:07Shall I ask him?
15:10Yeah, yeah, well
15:16You know
15:17You know
15:20Listen
15:21Me and Honey
15:22Was wondering
15:24Whether
15:25We could come to the pictures with you
15:28I mean, you know
15:29That's obviously
15:30If you still want to go
15:331977
15:37The old cinema on a mile in road
15:39Yeah, yeah
15:40Well, I
15:42I bought a ticket
15:44Went inside, sat down
15:48And then when no one was looking
15:50We went and
15:52Opened the fire escape doors
15:53For Phil and Grant
15:54Hmm
15:57Loved it, we did
16:00Young lads
16:01Watching this film about boxing
16:04Afterwards
16:05We went straight home
16:07Put the gloves on
16:08Vashed the living daylights out of each other
16:11What, you boxed Phil and Grant?
16:14Well, no
16:15No, no
16:16They boxed each other
16:17And I, um
16:18I just fell over
16:24Well
16:25I'm sorry
16:26I shouted at
16:27Honey
16:28I don't know
16:30I think that's
16:31That's
16:32Why I
16:33I wanted to
16:35To see a classic film tonight
16:41Sers up feelings
16:45Memories
16:46Yeah
16:48I'll get that
16:53So what do you think then Nigel?
16:54Why'd you?
16:55You wanna go?
16:56Try and stop me
17:06I want you out
17:08Tonight
17:10And I mean it
17:12I am done with you
17:14You live your life away from me
17:17While I stay here with the boys
17:19Boys
17:21They're all
17:25Write about one thing
17:28He is my son
17:32And I won't let anything
17:34Destroy all those years of love
17:38My message Larry
17:40Told him to keep schtum
17:42Cause Barney
17:44He can never find out
17:49Excuse me
17:53And
17:56Thank you
17:59For not telling Harry the truth
18:01About Shireen
18:03Yeah well
18:04I was wrapped up in that light weren't I?
18:07And the truth
18:08Would ruin him even more
18:14What about Zach?
18:15Well I work something out
18:16Yeah
18:17Just leave
18:24This isn't good for any of us
18:28No I saw Barney earlier
18:32He clearly loves me
18:36He loves this
18:39Our family
18:42That's what makes him happy
18:43What makes him happy?
18:46No
18:48Do you know when his happiest time was?
18:53When you was in prison
18:56And if you stick around much longer
18:59I'll make sure you end up back there
19:00Back there
19:21Is there nothing I can say?
19:22What I can say?
19:23I can't ignore what you told me can I?
19:24I can't ignore what you told me can I?
19:26Listen if...
19:29I've got to be honest
19:32I wasn't expecting a tech
19:33I've got to be honest, I wasn't expecting your tech.
19:48I can't ignore what you told me, can I?
19:52Listen, if...
19:54If we're going to go,
19:57I'll have to take him tonight.
20:03You told Barney yet?
20:10No.
20:17He's never finding out.
20:26I've got to practice, I've got to do this.
20:29Do you think your mum and dad are, like, forever now?
20:35I don't know.
20:36Sometimes I think they hate each other.
20:39I mean, they seem to work, though, like, being young.
20:42I mean, your mum's all tough and ballsy,
20:45and then your dad's, like, Mr Nice Guy.
20:48I'm not saying that he's a wuss or anything like that.
20:51I mean, he's kind of like you.
20:52Like, kind of all right.
20:54Oh, is that what I am, is it kind of all right?
20:58Don't let that go to your head.
21:04I want to let you know
21:05the Zach thing
21:08is taken care of.
21:11I can't even see you there.
21:35I can't even see you there.
21:40I want to let you know the Zach thing is taken care of.
21:55Harry?
21:56What's happening, mate?
21:57You need to call me back.
21:58Let me know what you've done with me.
22:04Harry!
22:05You there?
22:07Harry!
22:08What's he done?
22:16Billy, can I have an hot dog at the cinema?
22:19You can.
22:20You can have whatever you want.
22:22It's nearly £10 for a pot of Humerus.
22:24Billy!
22:25Bill!
22:26I need you help.
22:28All Zach wants is what's best for Barney!
22:30And I want that too.
22:31Listen, Bill, I need you to drive.
22:33It's all right, Tim.
22:34We've got plans.
22:35I think Harry's gonna hurt Zach and he's taken my car,
22:37but I can track him with his app.
22:38Jenny, wait!
22:39I'll explain on the way!
22:40Is everything all right?
22:41Yeah, it's fine now.
22:42Just go and get in the car, mate.
22:43Come on, Billy.
22:44We're gonna be late.
22:45Sorry, Tim.
22:46Just wait.
22:47Trust me, Bill.
22:48One brother to another.
22:49Oh, come on.
22:50Look, I'll die, Richard.
22:51You ain't got far.
22:52You know, when you get stressed, you remind me of a mini Grant.
22:55You, er, gonna check it?
22:56I mean, a part of me wants to.
22:57And the other part?
22:58Show me what I'm made of, innit?
23:02Blocker.
23:03Blocker.
23:04Blocker.
23:05Blocker.
23:06Blocker.
23:07And off.
23:08Nice.
23:09Hey, hey, hey.
23:10What is it?
23:11Just...
23:13So, did I help?
23:14Yeah, you did.
23:15Oh, I'm glad.
23:17Oh, you're too much fun now.
23:18Cause I'm not too much fun now.
23:20Yeah.
23:22It's not the past.
23:23The past is about me.
23:24You're not too much fun, but I'm not too much fun.
23:26I'm not too much fun.
23:27I'm too much fun.
23:28So, I'm too much fun now.
23:29I'm too much fun.
23:30I'm too much fun now.
23:31Get out of the way, I can get out of the way.
23:32If you don't have to get out of the way.
23:33If you need to come back, if you want to get another one, you're too much fun.
23:34Why don't you have to do so much fun?
23:35Yeah, how do you feel?
23:36If you think I need to have any idea of this, you?
23:37I'll never do so much fun, I'm sure.
23:39Oh, yes.
23:39OK.
23:40Oh, my God.
23:42Too much fun.
24:09Let's go.
24:39What are you done with Zach?
24:46Are you alright?
24:49I need you to close the bar!
24:54Now! Get everyone out!
24:57Alright, you two!
24:59Turn the music off!
25:02Off! Now!
25:05I'm sorry everyone! You need to drink up! We're closing!
25:11I'm sorry, we're closing! Drink up!
25:17Open the boot.
25:20This ain't your business, Bill.
25:23You made it my business.
25:28What were you gonna do?
25:30I don't know! Freak him out a bit and then scare him off!
25:33Billy, this is not okay. We need to phone the police.
25:35No, no, no. Look, we can fix this.
25:37Don't worry!
25:46Are you out of your mind?
25:47What have you done?
25:49He's the only one that knew.
25:53Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
25:55We all just keep quiet!
26:01It's alright.
26:02He's breathing.
26:04Well, come on, let's get him out.
26:06I'm calling him now.
26:10Maybe I should jump in the car.
26:12I've gotta look for him.
26:13Well, where would you even start?
26:15Oh, Vicky, why'd you let him leave?
26:17Well, I couldn't stop him, could I?
26:19I'll call Sharon.
26:21No, no, not yet.
26:23Not until we know what's going on.
26:35How the hell was this gonna help the situation?
26:37I was just gonna drag him in the woods and, you know, shake him up a bit.
26:40That's it, I'm calling the police.
26:41No!
26:42No police.
26:43None.
26:44No, none.
26:45You know we don't do things that way.
26:50You could've killed him.
26:52He knows too much.
26:53He could blow our whole family apart.
26:55The last thing you need is a dead body on your hands.
26:58I didn't wanna kill him!
26:59You smashed him round the head!
27:00He's kidnapped!
27:01Attempted murder!
27:02Look, it's okay, honey, it's okay.
27:04I'm gonna sort this out.
27:10I'm just gonna talk to him.
27:13Look, I promise.
27:14I'll drive him back and let him recover for a bit.
27:18Sit him down.
27:20Tell him how much Barney means to me.
27:24That's all, Bill.
27:25I swear.
27:29Okay.
27:32You.
27:33Get in that car.
27:40LARGE
27:54What we're doing
27:57We're going
27:58Just go out and do a chat
28:00and stop the car.
28:01Sam.
28:02I said stop the car!
28:03We're in getting locked down for a walker!
28:06Sam, tell me, still see me.
28:08Don't see me, don't replace yourself.
