00:00We are here to witness the joining in marriage of Aaron and John and to celebrate their love
00:23for one another. If any person here present knows of any lawful impediment to this marriage,
00:28they should declare it now. I do.
00:51What are you doing here? Isn't it obvious?
00:54Yes. I'm saving you from making the biggest mistake of your life.
01:03Aaron.
01:05This cannot be happening.
01:10Sorry, Anne.
01:12Guess I forgot my invitation.
01:13It's not what you think. Well, I'm thinking Maury killed my mum because you just gave yourself away. Yeah, but it's complicated. Okay, well talk me through it. Did she kill my mum? Yes or no? Easy question, isn't it? If you would just let me talk. Oh my god, that's why she was so weird and awkward with me when I first met her.
01:31I thought it was me. Listen to me. Moira is a good person. How can you live with her, work with no one what you know? Because I know exactly what happened, how it happened. That's why you didn't want me here. You were scared I was going to find out.
01:41No, I did want you here. It's just, it freaked me out at first. Well, you seem a bit freaked out now.
01:43Look, I know how bad all of this sounds, but you have no idea what it was like back then. It was crazy.
01:47My mum wasn't well, so what, you thought you'd put her down like an animal? Oh, now you're just talking stupid.
01:51Look, I mean, Moira is a farmer. She's probably used to killing animals all the time.
01:53You are not listening to a word I am saying.
01:55Because I don't know if anything you're saying is the truth. You told me she was a good person.
01:59You told me she was a good person.
02:00How can you live with her, work with no one what you know?
02:01Because I know exactly what happened, how it happened.
02:03That's why you didn't want me here. You were scared I was going to find out.
02:05No, I did want you here. It's just, it freaked me out at first.
02:07Well, you seem a bit freaked out now.
02:09Look, I know how bad all of this sounds, but you have no idea what it was like back then. It was crazy.
02:13You're not listening to a word I am saying.
02:15Because I don't know if anything you're saying is the truth.
02:17You told me she was ill, paranoid. Did you just make that all up?
02:19No.
02:20Or maybe the truth is she was pushed to the edge because of what Moira did to her.
02:23That is not what happened.
02:24Okay, well, maybe Moira needs to be the one telling me what happened.
02:26She needs to be here right now.
02:32Well, I guess I had that coming.
02:33Yeah, go on, get up a day or...
02:35You're still meant to be in prison.
02:44Please tell me you haven't done anything very stupid.
02:46How did you even know?
02:48Maybe a sixth sense.
02:50All I know is this needs stopping.
02:52Have you heard yourself? You're not stopping anything.
02:57So, you must be the brother I wish I didn't have.
03:01I'm guessing you know who I am.
03:06I know exactly who you are, Robert.
03:09And what you are.
03:11What are you even doing?
03:13What I had to.
03:15This.
03:16Can't happen.
03:17I'm ending it.
03:18You're not listening.
03:19The only thing that needs ending is you, pal.
03:21You bang your head in prison.
03:23You don't belong here.
03:32Aaron.
03:33Do you need telling again?
03:36Just leave, please.
03:40I'll find you later and we can catch up then.
03:48Rude.
03:49Sorry about that.
03:50Where were we?
03:51Thanks for the lift.
04:04I should probably just go.
04:06Look, I get why you don't want to talk about it.
04:08I know how sensitive it all is for you after everything with your mum.
04:11Well, this isn't about me.
04:12No, it's about me.
04:13And the child that you want to bring into this world.
04:16The one that might end up having to bury me.
04:18It's not my, Sarah.
04:21It's when.
04:22And how old that child is going to be.
04:24You've got it all worked out, haven't you?
04:25My future.
04:26I'm just trying to make you see sense.
04:28So what I should do is just wait to die?
04:30I did not say that.
04:31Sooner the better, right?
04:33Sarah.
04:34Have you got it all planned out?
04:35What are you going to wear to my funeral?
04:36Have you got a nice tie?
04:37Don't.
04:39Do you know what a real friend is, Jacob?
04:40It's someone who offers support,
04:41even if they think that that friend might be wrong.
04:42No, you are wrong.
04:44What you're saying is insane.
04:45What, cos I'm all me, me, me?
04:46And you still can't see it.
04:48Seriously, this isn't you.
04:50You know I told you this
04:51cos I thought you might actually be on my side.
04:53Guess I got that wrong, didn't I?
04:54Yeah, you really did.
04:56Well, then I don't know what you're still doing here, so.
05:01Fine.
05:02Now we've got all that out of the way, shall we commence with the vows?
05:15Yeah, please.
05:16Turn and face each other.
05:19And repeat after me.
05:20I, Aaron Dingle, take you, John Sugden, to be my wedded husband.
05:31I, Aaron Dingle...
05:36Aaron Dingle.
05:44I'm sorry, can you just repeat that?
05:47Of course.
05:48Just breathe.
05:51I, Aaron Dingle, take you, John Sugden, to be my wedded husband.
05:57This isn't good.
06:02You okay?
06:05Yeah, I'm fine.
06:06It's just, er...
06:07Yeah, sorry.
06:08I, erm...
06:14I...
06:16Aaron Dingle.
06:21No, I'm not okay now.
06:22It's okay.
06:23It's okay.
06:24It's okay.
06:25Just...
06:26Just try and relax.
06:27It's just...
06:29What?
06:31I can't.
06:33I'm really...
06:35I'm really sorry.
06:36I just can't do it.
06:37I'm sorry.
06:38Wait, Aaron.
06:46She was way past not well.
06:48She was unhinged.
06:49She was a danger to herself and everybody else.
06:51So she needed help?
06:52We tried, but you can't help somebody who doesn't want to be helped.
06:55What, so it's just easier to kill them?
06:58Look, I'm sorry, but he's been chipping away at me.
07:01Now he's joined the dots.
07:02Is it true?
07:03Did you kill my mum?
07:04What have you said?
07:05Well, I've tried telling him what actually happened.
07:07You must have known you couldn't get away with us forever.
07:09Hey!
07:10She didn't get away with anything.
07:12You really need to trust me on this one, Lewis.
07:14I don't trust you, Ross.
07:15How can I?
07:16You lie so much.
07:17I don't think you even know what the truth is anymore.
07:18Yes!
07:19I pushed her.
07:21I pushed your mother.
07:22That's the truth.
07:24But it's not the full story.
07:28Because we've both been trying to protect you from it.
07:31I don't need protecting.
07:33What I need is that full story.
07:39And I'm not going until I hear it.
08:03On my wedding day.
08:04Seriously.
08:05You know when you've waited so long for something, and it just doesn't quite taste as good as
08:14you'd hoped?
08:15Not a word.
08:17Nothing.
08:18And you just rock up out of nowhere.
08:20Not out of nowhere.
08:21I'm going to ask you one more time, and I don't want any funny answers.
08:25Just tell me.
08:26How did you know?
08:28Well, it's not complicated.
08:32Didn't anyone want to know.
08:34You should have just told them to stop posting things all over their socials.
08:38Why would you do this to me?
08:43You know why?
08:47Because every single second I spent inside, I never stopped being in love with you.
08:57I've been in love with you.
09:26I played it over and over again in my head, what I should have done differently.
09:30It wasn't your fault.
09:32So whose fault was it? You just admitted to what you did.
09:36I wish that I could go back and change everything that happened that day, but I can't.
09:41So you let your son take the blame for what you did? How could you do that?
09:45That's not what I wanted.
09:46And I didn't want my mum to be dead, but she is because you killed her.
09:49Okay, Lewis.
09:50I'll never know it because of you. I know what you are now.
09:55You've got no idea what I am or who I am or what I've been through. No idea.
10:01And I pay for what I did nearly every single day of my life.
10:05And I am sorry for what happened. I really am.
10:08But you lost a mum that you didn't know.
10:10But me? I lost a son that I love more than anything in this world.
10:14And that decision wasn't mine. It was made for me.
10:25Come on. You're supposed to be celebrating.
10:29I've moved on.
10:31Yeah, you're supposed to.
10:33Just didn't expect it to be with my half-brother.
10:38How are you even out?
10:40Long story. You might have somewhere you need to be.
10:44Well, you already know that Lee got into a fight with his brother
10:50and hit his head on the day that I attacked him.
10:53Yeah.
10:55And if that hadn't happened, he might not have died when I...
11:01when I did what I did.
11:02Oh, my God. Are you joking?
11:04Vic tried to tell you that so you could appeal, but you wouldn't listen, would you?
11:07Yeah, well, a few years locked inside his cell with only my thoughts for company,
11:11I kind of changed my mind.
11:14Took a while, but here I am.
11:17Sentence reduced on appeal.
11:19You didn't tell anyone?
11:21I didn't want to get anybody's hopes up.
11:23I was scared of getting my own hopes up.
11:26Never been good with disappointment.
11:30Well, now you're free to go wherever you want.
11:33Well, I'm on probation.
11:34First meeting's supposed to be...
11:38right about now.
11:40You're missing it.
11:42I had somewhere I needed to be.
11:47But even when you knew you were getting released,
11:49you still couldn't tell me?
11:51I didn't want to ruin the surprise.
11:56Look, I tried to stay away.
11:59I swear.
12:01But when I found out that you were getting married, I...
12:05I couldn't help myself.
12:07I'm sorry.
12:08You're not sorry.
12:09No, no, I'm not.
12:14You should never have come back, Robert.
12:16I was always coming back for you, Aaron.
12:21I told you.
12:22Yeah, you've moved on.
12:27Don't get cold feet.
12:29You'll make me think I fell for a quitter.
12:34This was a mistake.
12:37And I'm never going to stop making them.
12:38Yeah, you can walk away.
12:50But I know you still love me too.
12:53Why else would you be here?
12:54Oh, what was I thinking, eh?
12:55Of course, of course.
12:56Something like this was going to happen.
12:57This wedding's cursed.
12:58Please don't say that.
12:59I still think people should have waited, rather than taken off to the pub.
13:00I think they were just worried.
13:01Worried about what?
13:02Well, the wedding had finished.
13:03Oh, the drinking had finished.
13:04If he hadn't stopped me, I'd be right there with them.
13:05Well, I'm sorry for caring.
13:06Oh, don't be sorry.
13:07Just all this caring's thirsty work.
13:08You've probably got all sorts going through your head right now.
13:09After everything I've done, I wasn't meant to be happy.
13:11Listen to me, okay?
13:12You just need to keep it together.
13:13I was just thinking, eh?
13:14I was thinking, eh?
13:15I was just thinking, eh?
13:16Of course, of course, something like this was going to happen.
13:17This wedding's cursed.
13:18Please don't say that.
13:19I still think people should have waited, rather than taken off to the pub.
13:20I think they were just worried.
13:21Worried about what?
13:22The wedding had finished.
13:23Oh, the drinking had finished.
13:24Well, if he hadn't stopped me, I'd be right there with them.
13:27What's going through your head right now?
13:28After everything I've done, I wasn't meant to be happy.
13:30Listen to me, okay?
13:32You just need to keep it together.
13:34How?
13:35How?
13:36We all saw what happened.
13:37Yes, we did, Johnny boy.
13:38Eh?
13:39Saw our Aaron punch him in the face.
13:40Now, what does that tell you, eh?
13:41You know, if you'd have kissed him, welcomed him with open arms, that would have been a different
13:44story.
13:45Mum, mum, mum, maybe just stop talking now, yeah?
13:47Sorry.
13:48I think what she's trying to say is that whatever they were, they're not that anymore.
13:52So where is he now, hmm?
13:53Why has he not stood in there with me?
13:55Sorry to interrupt.
13:56I bet you get this all the time, don't you?
13:58Occasionally.
13:59I just need to know whether we're still going ahead.
14:02I've got another wedding to go to.
14:03It is going ahead.
14:05Look, if I know Aaron, and I've known Aaron for a very long time, he'll just be somewhere
14:09straightening his head out.
14:10Or he's putting Robert straight, telling him how things are.
14:12I'll be waiting inside.
14:14We'll laugh about this in a few years!
14:19Right, come on.
14:20We are going to find Aaron, and we are finishing this wedding.
14:26I dropped off Clemmie at Claudette's.
14:38What does she do to deserve that?
14:40Just kidding, I already know.
14:42Look, I haven't even said thank you.
14:45You shouldn't have had to pick her up.
14:47None of this should have happened.
14:48It's fine.
14:50I can't imagine Billy's going to be apologising any time soon.
14:53Yeah, well, he has tunnel vision when it comes to you.
14:56Yeah, tunnel of hate.
14:58Well, let's not go there.
14:59Where are we going to go?
15:00I'm talking about Clemmie, and I'm just saying, sorry, I shouldn't have put you in that position.
15:13No, I think we fixed some things that really needed fixing.
15:18I wouldn't have seen that coming.
15:21What, now?
15:22Now?
15:23Yeah, I mean, are there any real winners when it comes to fighting over kids?
15:29I just wish it could all be sorted, solved.
15:32Billy, in a regular schedule, seeing them, not just as and when.
15:37Anyway, that requires a really difficult conversation.
15:40Which you clearly want to have.
15:43I just know how it's going to go.
15:45He is going to disagree with everything I say, and it's going to be exhausting.
15:49I can see that.
15:52Well, you can either let the fire burn out, or you can put it out yourself.
16:04Aaron!
16:06Aaron!
16:10He's never going to be here.
16:12I know what you're thinking.
16:14Aaron!
16:15I just can't believe this is actually happening.
16:18I don't think anyone can.
16:19You haven't told me what you're thinking.
16:22Seeing your brother again.
16:31Like...
16:33Like I've been knocked for six.
16:35I saw how you looked at him.
16:37Well, I was in shock.
16:39Didn't know whether I should hug him or hit him.
16:42You know which option I would have gone with.
16:43The one Aaron took.
16:45And obviously regretted.
16:46We don't know that.
16:47And until we find him, we're not going to know anything.
16:50Everything we have been through to get here.
16:51The things I have done to make sure this wedding happens.
16:54And Robert just walks in and blows it all apart.
16:56Things I've done.
16:58You've said that before.
17:01Yeah.
17:03The changes I've had to make to myself to be with Aaron.
17:06You know the, um...
17:20The man who arrived here was very, very different.
17:23To the man who stood here now.
17:27I hate being in the middle.
17:29You're both my brothers.
17:30I don't want you to pick sides, Vic.
17:33It's Aaron who needs to do that.
17:38I'm just scared he's already chosen.
17:41You ended us, not me.
17:43Because I had to.
17:44You must know that.
17:46Well, I can say I'm sorry.
17:47Yeah, but it doesn't mean anything, does it?
17:49You turned yourself in.
17:51You cut everyone off.
17:52You cut me off.
17:53Because I had to.
17:54I swore to you that I'd be there for you.
17:57And you just, you threw it back in my face.
18:00I didn't even know what to do anymore.
18:02I moved around here, there and everywhere.
18:03Trying to forget all about you.
18:04Meet someone else and it meant nothing.
18:07I got a life sentence.
18:09And so did I.
18:11We were both living it.
18:14And I know what you were trying to do.
18:15The whole tough love thing.
18:17I was trying to give you your life back.
18:18Because mine was over.
18:19And what, but mine wasn't.
18:20Oh God.
18:22Oh God.
18:33Nothing mattered to me anymore.
18:36I still see your face when I gave you the ring back.
18:42And then the next day I got told that you had been moved to the Isle of Wight.
18:45Out of sight, out of mind.
18:46Yeah, of course.
18:48Never gave you a second thought.
18:51That decision.
18:53What?
18:54You regretted it?
18:55Not in the moment, no.
18:56But after a while, I regretted everything.
19:00Everything.
19:04You're right.
19:06I smashed it all to pieces.
19:09It took me ages to get past it, but I did.
19:11I didn't think this would ever happen again either.
19:15Just me and you.
19:16Like this.
19:17I got past you.
19:18Study it together.
19:21That's the thing, Robert.
19:22We're not together.
19:23Not anymore.
19:24Look, I know I have no right to just walk back into your life.
19:28But if I don't have a chance with you, then I might as well be back there.
19:30It's just words.
19:31Because right now, that's all I've got.
19:34And hope.
19:36Hope that you'll remember what we were because we can be that again, Aaron.
19:41Just me and you.
19:42Us.
19:43I know we can.
19:49That's all I want, Aaron.
19:50I want about what I want.
19:57I think you want this.
20:01I can't.
20:02You're not going to punish me, are you?
20:04You're not going to punish me, are you?
20:32What am I doing?
20:33What am I doing?
20:34What am I doing?
20:35I'm marrying John.
20:36Because you want to.
20:37Because you think you have to.
20:38We were a good thing, Robert.
20:39We're not anymore.
20:40Aaron.
20:41You have got every right to look worried, sweetheart.
20:43Because I have just seen something that I shouldn't have seen.
20:46You want to thank your lucky stars that I'm not your future husband.
20:47Before you start.
20:48Oh, back to infect his life all over again, are you?
20:49I'm still worried.
20:50Do you not think you've caused him enough damage?
20:51Mum.
20:52You just can't bear to see him happy, can you?
20:53The thought of it, it must ruin you.
20:54All I want is for Aaron to be happy.
20:55Right.
20:56I can't.
20:57I can't.
20:58All I want is for Aaron to be happy.
20:59Right.
21:00I can't.
21:01I can't.
21:02I can't.
21:03I can't.
21:04I can't.
21:05I can't.
21:06I can't.
21:07I can't.
21:08I can't.
21:09I can't.
21:10I can't.
21:11I can't.
21:12I can't.
21:13I can't.
21:14I can't be happy.
21:15Right.
21:16Well, if he doesn't mean anything to you, then you need to leave.
21:20Now.
21:21Find somebody else.
21:22Do whatever it is that you need to do, but just leave him alone.
21:27Somebody else.
21:36We weren't a good thing, Aaron.
21:38We were the best thing.
21:44I'm- I'm sorry.
22:00I didn't want to leave things like we did.
22:04Look, if you're just here to tell me what an awful person I am-
22:06I'm not.
22:07And you're not an awful person.
22:09What I said-
22:11You meant none of it.
22:12I should have listened to what you had to say.
22:16I just jumped in.
22:18Look, I know how crazy it all sounds, I do, but-
22:22My life, it's not like everyone else's.
22:24I have to do things differently.
22:25I have to think differently.
22:26Yeah, but it does feel like you're rushing into things.
22:30If you just wait a little-
22:32Jacob, I don't have time to wait.
22:33I've always got a clock above my head.
22:34Everybody's got a clock above their head.
22:36Yeah, well, mine's ticking faster and louder than everyone else's.
22:39Sarah.
22:40Look, you never know, one day they might find a cure for Fanconi anaemia.
22:43And then I'd get my life back and I'd have all the time in the world to raise a child.
22:46But what if they don't?
22:51I-I'm sorry, I just don't want you to-
22:54What? Get my hopes up?
22:56Or have false hope.
22:58Oh, what's the difference?
23:00Look, I'm never gonna stop hoping that they find a cure.
23:03Till I take my last breath.
23:05I tried talking her down, but she didn't want talking down.
23:16She-she killed her husband. She killed her son.
23:20She wanted to die.
23:22And because of her religion, suicide wasn't an option.
23:28Suicide was a sin.
23:30So she needed someone else to do it for her?
23:35The person who she hated the most. Me.
23:39And she goaded me into doing it.
23:44She was pressing every button about my family.
23:48Adam and Matty leaving.
23:52Holly's addiction and the overdose that killed her.
23:55What were her last words?
23:56What?
23:57The last thing she said to you.
23:58You might as well have injected the heroin yourself.
24:16Those were her last words, Lewis.
24:22She wanted a reaction and in that moment I was so angry and so upset.
24:27I gave her one.
24:28Look, I know that you might be tempted, but can you please turn that thing off?
24:52Do you think it's a good idea you being here?
24:57I should have booked an appointment first, I'm sorry.
24:59Look, whatever it is you've got to say to me, I don't want to hear it, alright?
25:02So you might as well just wheel yourself away.
25:04You haven't heard my offer yet.
25:09Try and tell myself that I won't get mad at the small things.
25:12You know, the sleepless nights, the crying, the screaming, whatever.
25:16I just want to love all of those things.
25:18Yeah, good luck with that.
25:19And I know I'll be the best mum because I don't need anyone telling me to make every day count.
25:23You know, all my child will know is love.
25:26I won't doubt it for a second.
25:28Some people, they do not realise how lucky and how blessed they are to have children.
25:34I don't even give them a second thought, it's like they're just an accessory.
25:37And yes, of course, I'm talking about my own family.
25:40I think you're talking about a lot of families.
25:43Anyway, here's me getting a million miles ahead of myself.
25:46I'm not naive and I do know what the chances are for me actually having a baby.
25:51Because IVF, there's no guarantee.
25:55I know.
25:56And I could bore you for hours with all the research that I've done but
25:59at the end of the day there's a chance and that's all that matters.
26:02Not the statistics.
26:03I know you still think I'm mad.
26:08Nah.
26:09It doesn't matter what I think.
26:11Look, the cancer op, I will focus on that first obviously but
26:15the IVF, I just...
26:17I really need this.
26:19And what have your family said about it all?
26:23You have told them, right?
26:26Right, look, I already know what you're going to say.
26:29Is it the cancer or the IVF?
26:32What don't they know?
26:34Any of it.
26:36Are you kidding me?
26:38Nobody knows?
26:39You can't tell anyone anything if they don't want to listen.
26:42This is my life, Jacob, not theirs.
26:44I'm the one that has to live it.
26:45I get that.
26:46But how have you even managed to keep it a secret?
26:50Surely it's just made it a million times harder.
26:53Well, I've told Vanessa about the IVF but you're the only one who knows all of it.
26:58This is massive, Sarah.
27:01You can't...
27:03You shouldn't have to go through any of this on your own.
27:06I'm not going to.
27:07I've got you.
27:08I'm not even going to try and tell you what to feel.
27:19Because sometimes we all forget to think we're this.
27:24But you know what?
27:25If you still want to marry John then you're just going to have to forget about what you've
27:28just done.
27:29Never happened.
27:30I don't know what I'm supposed to be feeling right now.
27:35Like you've been struck by lightning.
27:37Like my head's going to fall off.
27:40If I knew he was coming I...
27:42What?
27:43You could have prepared.
27:44You could have protected yourself.
27:45I could have done something.
27:47The only way to protect yourself from a storm, love, is to hide from it.
27:52My son hides from nothing.
27:56Whatever walls you might have thrown up there's still a chance he'd have got through.
28:01I know better than anyone how much he meant to you.
28:04I was telling him that we were done and I didn't want him in my life anymore and then...
28:13Night noon.
28:15You know, I told myself for so long that he was the only one that I'd ever have.
28:33I knew there'd be others but there'd never be him, there'd never be Robert.
28:37Yeah but John's not Robert either.
28:38No he's not but he showed me that I was wrong and that I did deserve a second chance at it.
28:46And then I've just got to run out on him.
28:48I mean what must he be thinking now?
28:50He's out looking for you with Vic.
28:52What?
28:53Well he can't get to Robert first because if he tells him what's just happened then...
28:56You're right.
28:57He won't think twice about ending your marriage before it's even begun.
29:05Oh no Ken, I know I'll be out of it before the wedding's over.
29:08Actually come.
29:09I'm not sure there's even going to be a wedding.
29:11I don't register and I'll stick around much longer.
29:14I didn't know you like box for Sam.
29:17Aye.
29:18If it's free, I'll drink out.
29:21This isn't going to end well is it?
29:23I mean we all know what Aaron and Robert used to be like.
29:25They're toxic.
29:26Aaron finally got his life on track.
29:28Something to look forward to.
29:29And then this.
29:30You are.
29:31You don't belong here.
29:34I've seen you wound up before but that was epic.
29:37Robert obviously has a lot of fans.
29:39Robert's Robert's biggest fan.
29:41Before he showed up, Aaron actually looked happy for once.
29:45He's like Cain.
29:46Never looks happy.
29:48That's the thing with the future.
29:49You're foolish to think you're the one in charge of it.
29:52Is that how Chas been giving you some of them self-help books?
29:54Just hope he doesn't do anything silly.
29:56Well he's not stupid.
29:58I mean he is stupid but John's good for him and he knows that.
30:01We're all in agreement, yeah?
30:02We're all team John.
30:04There's only one Suggerman who has a place in this family.
30:07To Aaron and John.
30:09Till this.
30:10To Aaron and John.
30:11Aaron and John.
30:12What?
30:13I want to talk to him just as much as you do.
30:15But we're looking for Aaron, not him.
30:17I want to talk to him just as much as you do.
30:18But we're looking for Aaron, not him.
30:22What?
30:23I want to talk to him just as much as you do.
30:24But we're looking for Aaron, not him.
30:25I want to talk to him just as much as you do.
30:30But we're looking for Aaron.
30:31But we're looking for Aaron, not him.
30:32Aaron and John.
30:33You're looking for Aaron.
30:34And you're looking for Aaron.
30:35And you're looking for Aaron.
30:36And you're looking for Aaron.
30:37And I want to talk to him just as much as you do.
30:38I should have stayed where you were.
31:01Safe. Behind those bars.
31:04Here he is, Dad.
31:05Meet John, the unwanted son you never knew.
31:09I'm not sure you missed much.
31:11What is wrong with you?
31:13Prison.
31:14You reckon it can change a man?
31:16Well, whatever you thought was going to happen.
31:18You know, it's good to finally meet my little wannabe brother.
31:23I'm sure I see the family resemblance.
31:25Okay, we're not doing this here, not now.
31:27I can do this any way you want.
31:28You know, what I've heard about you, obviously it's all true.
31:31No, I'm clearly the man you want to be.
31:32John's nothing like you.
31:34But he's somehow inherited my life, hasn't he?
31:37Stepped into my shoes, only these aren't your shoes, Johnny.
31:40They don't fit you.
31:43I know exactly who I am.
31:45But still in another man's life, that sort of...
31:48puts you on the wrong side of interesting, doesn't it?
31:51Kind of makes you a...
31:53wacko.
31:54Disturbed.
31:55Please, you need to grow up.
31:58Aaron has moved on without you.
32:00We've all moved on.
32:01No, not all of us.
32:02Well, that was your choice.
32:04You slammed the door on everybody.
32:07I've no idea what you went through in there.
32:10We'll walk in the park.
32:11And I've pictured what this would be like to have you back home.
32:15But this isn't it.
32:16It's like you're trying to punish us.
32:18I've already told you I'm here.
32:19This isn't you, Robert.
32:21What it is, is a sad, bitter man.
32:24Desperate for a life that isn't his anymore.
32:26You hear that, Dad?
32:27Johnny's come out fighting.
32:29You must be proud.
32:31Just so you know,
32:33Johnny
32:33is not intimidated by you.
32:36You don't need to be intimidated.
32:43But you do need to be worried.
32:44Because you're happy ever after.
32:49It's already dead in the water, brother.
33:03What she did to you sounds horrible,
33:04but still doesn't give you the right to take her life.
33:07It's what she wanted.
33:08And for Moira to go down for it.
33:10What about that don't you get?
33:12Wanted and needed are two different things.
33:14She was a woman with some serious mental health issues.
33:17She should have been help not thrown off of a bridge.
33:19Don't you think for a minute
33:20that I didn't hate myself for what I did?
33:23I struggled for a long time, Lewis.
33:25More than you will ever know.
33:27For what I did to your mum.
33:28And what that did to Adam.
33:31Honestly, I know that this is really difficult
33:32for you to hear right now.
33:34I understand that.
33:37But you didn't understand her, did you?
33:40She obviously snapped
33:41because she found out you were having an affair with her husband.
33:42There was no affair.
33:45He just didn't love her anymore.
33:46She knew it, but she couldn't handle it.
33:48Well, if he didn't love her, he should have left her.
33:51There are some people in life you don't get to leave.
33:54Especially when your body's pumped full of morphine.
33:56What, so it's just better to dispose of them instead?
33:58Is that what you're saying?
33:58She killed my dad.
34:00She killed Finn.
34:02What about that doesn't register
34:03in that mad little brain of yours?
34:05You're a bully.
34:05Sorry, I'm what?
34:08A bully.
34:09All my life, there's always been people like you.
34:11I'm not a bully.
34:12I'm your brother.
34:13And I really don't get why you're obsessing
34:14over a messed up woman you didn't even know.
34:16Because she was still his mum.
34:17I've built up for so long.
34:24What would it be like to find my family?
34:26OK.
34:27Look, I know this hasn't gone very smoothly.
34:30I thought it'd be different.
34:34I thought we at least had a connection.
34:36We do.
34:38Of course we do.
34:39No.
34:40Because it turns out my biological family
34:42is made out of murderers and liars.
34:45You think you can talk your way out of anything
34:46or you can't talk yourself or Moira out of this.
34:49Lewis.
34:49No.
34:50You thought you got away with this
34:52and you did until today.
34:54I'm going to tell the police everything
34:56and my mum's finally going to get justice.
35:06Problems remain problems
35:08when we don't look for solutions.
35:11You caught that all by yourself, did you?
35:14Dawn's worn out, Billy.
35:15She just wants an arrangement
35:16that works for everyone.
35:18Yeah, and does that include me?
35:20You're at the front and centre of it all.
35:23Look, I know that you and I
35:25are never exactly going to be friends,
35:28but that doesn't mean
35:29that we have to be at each other's throats
35:30every second and every day.
35:32I mean, who's that helping?
35:34This offer gets right.
35:35This was never part of the plan, was it?
35:39Washing people's lorries for money.
35:41Get to it quicker.
35:42You used to have your own PT business.
35:44You used to have ambition.
35:45But my ambitions, my plans
35:47got smashed to pieces.
35:48I have a friend.
35:51He lives
35:52not too far from here,
35:53Liverpool.
35:54And, er,
35:55well, he's in that field.
35:57And it just so happens
35:58that he's starting his own chain of gyms.
36:00He's looking for the right guy
36:01to be the face of the whole operation.
36:04And your friends are going to consider me.
36:06Why?
36:07Because we go way back.
36:09And he knows that
36:09when I give him a tip-off
36:11of a metaphorical horse,
36:13he's smart enough to back it.
36:14I just want you to have a small print.
36:18No small print.
36:19Obviously, Monday to Friday
36:20you'll be in Liverpool.
36:22But on the weekends
36:22you'll have all the time
36:23you want to spend with the kids.
36:26And from where I'm
36:26sitting,
36:29that looks like a win-win.
36:29I'm scared to ask
36:40what you're thinking.
36:42Well, I'm actually thinking
36:43how are you going to care
36:45for a baby on your own?
36:47Like every other single mum, I guess.
36:50I do actually have
36:51some kind of experience with that.
36:54I'm not trying to talk you out of it
36:56or anything,
36:56but it's not easy.
36:58Nothing that means anything is.
36:59That's what they say, isn't it?
37:01Yeah, but they may not have had to
37:02change a nappy,
37:04sterilise bottles,
37:05puree a carrot
37:06and find batteries for a monitor
37:07all at the same time.
37:09Right, but you're not
37:09trying to talk me out of it.
37:10Yeah, and there's only so much
37:11baby TV you can watch
37:12before your head starts to melt.
37:15I mean, you might not think
37:16you need your family, but...
37:17Oh, no, I already know
37:18I'm going to need them.
37:19I'm not stupid.
37:20Thus, IVF, it's not cheap.
37:22Yeah, I'm pretty sure
37:22donors aren't either.
37:24Yeah, but I think I've got
37:24a few more bridges
37:25I need to get over
37:26before I reach that one.
37:29There was something else
37:30I was thinking.
37:31Oh, now I am worried.
37:34About how I can make
37:35things easier for you.
37:37You don't have to go through
37:38it all on your own
37:39if you've got me.
37:40I know, I've already said
37:41I've got you.
37:42No, but I could be more than that.
37:45Could I help you raise a baby?
37:48Share whatever needs doing,
37:49make things easier,
37:50and...
37:51be whatever you need me to be.
37:54Right, but why would you do that?
37:56You know why?
37:59It's because I care about you.
38:01But that's where it stops, right?
38:04What do you mean?
38:06Well, because we're friends, Jacob.
38:08That's all we are now, so...
38:10whatever else you're thinking
38:11might happen, I'm sorry,
38:11but you need to get that
38:12out of your head.
38:13I know you've been telling
38:18yourself something else.
38:20You're going to hate hearing this,
38:21but he's over you.
38:23It's only me now.
38:24You know, I almost feel
38:25sorry for you,
38:27because you still haven't
38:27realised what you are.
38:29You're a stick in plaster, Johnny.
38:31Just there to stop the bleeding.
38:34Which is ironic, really,
38:34giving you background.
38:36You've obviously been
38:37doing your research,
38:38and I'm the one who's obsessed.
38:40You're just there
38:41until the wound heals.
38:42It's never going to heal.
38:44Well, today must have
38:44shown you that.
38:46Well, sadly for you,
38:47you haven't been watching
38:47closely enough, because...
38:48Oh, yeah, yeah.
38:50Remember, Robert,
38:51you've been locked up in a cell.
38:52Yeah, the things I do
38:53for the people I love.
38:54If you had been watching,
38:55you'd see that the grown-ups
38:56are in the room now.
38:58I'd give Aaron what he needs,
39:00what he deserves.
39:03Someone who will always
39:04be there for him.
39:05Stick that in your wedding bells?
39:07You see, the thing is
39:08with sticking plasters is
39:09eventually they fall off.
39:12You were the worst thing
39:13that ever happened to him.
39:14I was, and still am,
39:15the only thing
39:16that ever mattered to him.
39:19All this was for nothing.
39:21Because that's what you are, Johnny.
39:22Nothing.
39:23Important to nobody.
39:28Irrelevant.
39:30Stop it!
39:31Aye!
39:32Aye!
39:32Aye!
39:33Aye!
39:34Are you serious?
39:37What are you doing?
39:38John, John, John, John!
39:45Moira was more of a mum to me
39:46than Emma ever was.
39:48You need to grow up
39:49and wake up.
39:50I don't know why
39:51you're getting angry again.
39:52Because you're still
39:52not listening.
39:54You meant nothing to her.
39:56Nothing.
39:57Given half the chance,
39:57she would have tried
39:58to smother you
39:58with a pillow too.
39:59That's not going to help, Ross.
40:01You throw that word around,
40:02justice.
40:03But it's seeing Kyle
40:03and Isaac grow up
40:04without a mum.
40:05Is that going to be
40:05enough justice for you?
40:06I'm sorry.
40:07I'm going to the police
40:08and you can't stop me.
40:09No one has tried
40:09to stop you, Lewis.
40:10What, and you think
40:11they're just going to believe you?
40:12It's the truth.
40:13Yeah, but right now
40:14it's just your truth.
40:16And the problem with that
40:16is that you've got no proof
40:18and the police tend
40:18to quite like that stuff.
40:20You're doing it again.
40:21You're trying to manipulate me.
40:22I'm not doing anything, Lewis.
40:24But if you do the right thing,
40:25then I'll be forced
40:26to do the right thing
40:27and tell the police
40:28about that very illegal
40:29weed operation of yours.
40:30Choose your next move
40:34very, very carefully.
40:40That man's got anger issues.
40:43Best you find out now
40:44before you let him
40:44put a ring on your finger.
40:45Oh, shut up, Robert.
40:46My anger didn't land me in prison.
40:48Oh, please,
40:48while you listen to yourselves.
40:51Shall we all just go down
40:51to the playground
40:52so we can fight like children there?
40:53Mum, do you?
40:54No!
40:58We can stand here
40:59shouting nasty little
41:00things at each other
41:01or we can go and finish the wedding
41:03because the clock is ticking.
41:06Dad would have hated this.
41:07The whole family
41:08would have been ashamed.
41:09It's not family.
41:11It's just some new toy
41:11you've got to play with.
41:12A replacement brother.
41:13All right, I get it.
41:14I get it.
41:14You must have played this out
41:17over and over in your cell
41:19in your angry little head.
41:21You'd gatecrash the wedding,
41:22love over your life
41:23would fall for you all over again
41:24and leave with you
41:25and you'd disappear off
41:26into the sunset together.
41:27Well, pretty much is exactly
41:31how it played out.
41:36I could fill the gaps in for you
41:37if you want.
41:42Yeah, let's hear it.
41:44All of it.
41:45Look, I've said everything
41:53I've come to say.
41:54The rest is just about
41:56you getting your future back.
41:59Feels like I should be thanking you.
42:02My thanks necessary.
42:04A gentleman's handshake
42:05should seal the deal.
42:06Look, you really think
42:11that you can just
42:12throw some money at me?
42:13There is no tune
42:14that you can play
42:14that I'm about to dance to.
42:16Okay, just slow down.
42:17No, no, I'm not going to slow down.
42:18You can buy everyone else
42:20but you're not buying me.
42:22That's a shame.
42:22I was just trying to help you, Billy.
42:24Come on.
42:25Seriously, you help me.
42:26Yeah, get a job
42:27that your kids
42:28weren't ashamed of.
42:30Look, I will do anything
42:31to provide for my kids.
42:33Whereas you,
42:33I don't think you grafted
42:34your entire life.
42:35Yeah.
42:36Okay, I was born
42:37with the proverbial
42:38silver spoon in my mouth.
42:40The annoying thing is
42:41whenever I try and feed
42:42one of life's losers,
42:44with said spoon
42:45it ends up coming back
42:46in my face.
42:46You, you are a very brave man.
42:49I'm telling the truth,
42:50though, aren't I, Billy?
42:51Eh?
42:52I mean, you're a loser.
42:53Come on, come on.
42:54Dawn realises it
42:55and pretty soon
42:55your kids are going to realise it
42:56when they see you
42:57cleaning lorries.
42:58Well, no.
43:00Ah!
43:01Me and Aaron?
43:18No, you were right
43:19the first time.
43:21He tried to tell me
43:22there is no me and Aaron.
43:24Not anymore.
43:25How do you say
43:27he's just trying
43:27to get under your skin?
43:28Seriously,
43:29if there's something else
43:29I need to know...
43:30There's nothing else
43:31you need to know.
43:31He's just trying to
43:32wind you up.
43:32Don't give him
43:33what he wants.
43:33What I want is for you
43:34to make a choice
43:35between me and him.
43:35It's that simple.
43:36No, I'm not playing
43:38games anymore.
43:39I'm going back
43:40into our wedding.
43:42I hope I see you there.
43:45John.
43:48Have you not done
43:49enough damage yet?
43:57You don't love me.
43:59If you did,
44:00you wouldn't have done
44:00this to me.
44:02This goes way
44:02beyond that, Aaron.
44:05You've got a decision
44:06to make.
44:07I'm not asking you
44:08to choose me.
44:09I'm asking you
44:09to choose us.
