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.
00:31I do.
00:51What are you doing here?
00:53Isn't it obvious?
00:56I'm saving you from making the biggest mistake of your life.
01:03Aaron.
01:05This cannot be happening.
01:09Sorry, I guess I forgot my invitation.
01:16It's not what you think.
01:31Well I'm thinking Maury killed my mum because you just gave yourself away.
01:33Yeah, but it's complicated.
01:35Okay, well talk me through it.
01:36Did she kill my mum?
01:37Yes or no.
01:38Easy question, isn't it?
01:39If you would just let me talk.
01:40Oh my god, that's why she was so weird and awkward with me when I first met her.
01:43I thought it was me.
01:44Listen to me.
01:45Moira is a good person.
01:47How can you live with her, work with no one what you know?
01:49Because I know exactly what happened, how it happened.
01:52That's why you didn't want me here.
01:53You were scared I was going to find out.
01:54No, I did want you here.
01:55It's just, it freaked me out at first.
01:57Well, you seem a bit freaked out now.
01:59Look, I know how bad all of this sounds, but you have no idea what it was like back then.
02:04It was crazy.
02:05My mum wasn't well, so what, you thought you'd put her down like an animal?
02:07Oh, now you're just talking stupid.
02:08I mean, Moira is a farmer.
02:09She's probably used to killing animals all the time.
02:11You are not listening to a word I am saying.
02:13Because I don't know if anything you're saying is the truth.
02:15You told me she was ill, paranoid.
02:17Did you just make that all up?
02:18No.
02:19Or maybe the truth is she was pushed to the edge because of what Moira did to her.
02:22That is not what happened.
02:23Okay, well maybe Moira needs to be the one telling me what happened.
02:25She needs to be here right now.
02:31Well, I guess I had that coming.
02:32Yeah, go on, get up a day or...
02:41You're still meant to be in prison.
02:43Please tell me you haven't done anything very stupid.
02:45How did you even know?
02:47Maybe a sixth sense.
02:49All I know is this needs stopping.
02:51Have you heard yourself? You're not stopping anything.
02:57So, you must be the brother I wish I didn't have.
03:02I'm guessing you know who I am.
03:05I know exactly who you are, Robert.
03:08And what you are.
03:09What are you even doing?
03:12What I had to.
03:14This.
03:15Can't happen.
03:16I'm ending it.
03:17You're not listening.
03:18The only thing that needs ending is you, pal.
03:20You bang your head in prison.
03:22You don't belong here.
03:32Aaron.
03:33Do you need telling again?
03:35Just leave, please.
03:39I'll find you later and we can catch up then.
03:47Rude.
03:48Sorry about that.
03:49Where were we?
03:50Thanks for the lift.
03:51I should probably just go.
04:05Look, I get why you don't want to talk about it. I know how sensitive it all is for you after everything with your mum.
04:11This isn't about me.
04:12No, it's about me.
04:13And the child that you want to bring into this world.
04:15The one that might end up having to bury me.
04:17It's not my Sarah.
04:18It's when.
04:19And how old that child is going to be.
04:20You've got it all worked out, haven't you?
04:21My future.
04:22I'm just trying to make you see sense.
04:23So what I should do is just wait to die.
04:24I did not say that.
04:25Sooner the better, right?
04:26Sarah.
04:27Have you got it all planned out?
04:28What are you going to wear to my funeral?
04:29Have you got a nice tie?
04:30Don't.
04:31Do you know what a real friend is, Jacob?
04:32It's someone who offers support even if they think that that friend might be wrong.
04:35No, you are wrong.
04:36What you're saying is insane.
04:37What, because I'm all me, me, me?
04:38And you still can't see it.
04:39Seriously, this isn't you.
04:40You know I told you this because I thought you might actually be on my side.
04:42Guess I got that wrong, didn't I?
04:43Yeah, you really did.
04:44Well then I don't know what you're still doing here, so.
04:45Fine.
04:46Now we've got all that out of the way, shall we commence with the vows?

08:53I never stopped being in love with you
08:55I never stopped being in love with you
09:00I've played it over and over again in my head what I should have done differently
09:07it wasn't your fault so whose fault was it you just admitted to what you did I wish that I could go to the
09:37go back and change everything that happened that day but I can't
09:40so you let your son take the blame for what you did how could you do that
09:44that's not what I wanted and I didn't want my mum to be dead but she is because you killed her
09:48okay Lewis I'll never know it because of you I know what you are now
09:54you've got no idea what I am or who I am or what I've been through no idea and I pay for what I did nearly every single day of my life and I am sorry for what happened I really am
10:06but you lost a mum that you didn't know but me I lost a son that I love more than anything in this world and that decision wasn't mine it was made for me
10:13come on you're supposed to be celebrating I've moved on
10:28yeah you're supposed to just didn't expect it to be with my half brother
10:35how are you even out long story you might have somewhere you need to be
10:43well you already know that Lee got into a fight with his brother and hit his head on the day that I attacked him
10:51yeah and if that hadn't happened he might not have died when I did what I did
11:01oh my god are you joking Vic tried to tell you that so you could appeal but you wouldn't listen would you
11:06yeah well a few years locked inside his cell with only my thoughts for company I kind of changed my mind
11:11took a while but here I am sentence reduced on appeal
11:18you didn't tell anyone
11:19I didn't want to get any of his hopes up I was scared of getting my own hopes up
11:24never been good with disappointment
11:26well now you're free to go wherever you want
11:31well I'm on probation
11:33first meeting's supposed to be right about now
11:40you're missing it
11:41I had somewhere I needed to be
11:43but even when you knew you were getting released
11:48you still couldn't tell me
11:50I didn't want to ruin the surprise
11:52look I tried to stay away
11:57I swear
11:59but when I found out that you were getting married I
12:04I couldn't help myself
12:06I'm sorry
12:07you're not sorry

13:05something like this was going to happen
13:06this wedding's cursed
13:07please don't say that
13:10still think people should have waited
13:11rather than taken off to the pub
13:12I think they were just worried
13:13worried about what?
13:14the wedding had finished?
13:15no
13:16the drinking had finished
13:17if he hadn't stopped me
13:18I'd be right there with them
13:19well I'm sorry for caring
13:20don't be sorry
13:21it's just all this caring's thirsty work
13:24you've probably got all sorts going through your head right now
13:28after everything I've done I wasn't meant to be happy

13:39now what does that tell you eh?
13:40you know if you'd have kissed him

13:43Mum
13:44Mum
13:45Mum
13:46maybe just stop talking now yeah?

14:00I've got another wedding to go to
14:02it is going ahead
14:03look if I know Aaron
14:05and I've known Aaron for a very long time
14:07he'll just be somewhere straightening his head out
14:08or he's putting Robert straight telling him how things are
14:12I'll be waiting inside
14:15we'll laugh about this in a few years
14:18right come on
14:19we are going to find Aaron
14:21and we are finishing this wedding
14:33thank you
14:35I dropped off Clemmie at Claudette's
14:36what does she do to deserve that?
14:39just kidding
14:40I already know
14:42look
14:43I haven't even said thank you
14:44you shouldn't have had to pick her up
14:46none 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
14:55yeah tunnel of hate
14:58I have tunnel vision when it comes to you
15:00let's not go there
15:04where are we going to go?
15:06I'm talking about Clemmie and I'm just saying
15:10sorry I shouldn't have put you in that position
15:12no
15:13I think we fixed some things that really needed fixing
15:16I wouldn't have seen that coming
15:20what now?
15:21now?
15:22yeah I mean are there any real winners when it comes to fighting over kids?
15:27I just wish it could all be sorted, solved
15:32Billy in a regular schedule seeing them not just as and when
15:36anyway 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
15:48I can see that
15:51well
15:53you can either let the fire burn out
15:56or you can put it out yourself
16:03Aaron!
16:05Aaron!
16:09he was never going to be here
16:11I know what you're thinking
16:13Aaron!
16:14I just can't believe this is actually happening
16:17I don't think anyone can
16:19you haven't told me what you're thinking
16:22seeing your brother again
16:30like
16:32like I've been knocked for six
16:34I saw how you looked at him
16:36well I was in shock
16:38didn't know whether I should
16:40hug him or hit him
16:41you know which option I would have gone with
16:42the one Aaron took
16:44and obviously regretted
16:45we don't know that
16:47and until we find him
16:48we're not going to know anything
16:50everything we have been through to get here
16:51the things I have done
16:52to make sure this wedding happens
16:53and Robert just walks in and blows it all apart
16:56things I've done?

17:28you're both my brothers
17:30I don't want you to pick sides Vic
17:32it's Aaron who needs to do that

17:45well I can say I'm sorry
17:46yeah but it doesn't mean anything does it?

21:08the thought of it it must ruin you
21:11all I want is for Aaron to be happy
21:14right
21:16well if he doesn't mean anything to you then you need to leave
21:19now

21:23but just leave him alone
21:25somebody else
21:27we want a good thing are we the best thing
21:38It'll be the best thing.
21:58I'm...I'm sorry.
22:02I 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.
22:10What I said...
22:11You meant none of it.
22:14I should have listened to what you had to say.
22:17I just jumped in.
22:19Look, I know how crazy it all sounds, I do, but...
22:22My life, it's not like everyone else's. I have to do things differently, I have to think differently.
22:27But it does feel like you're rushing into things.
22:30If you just wait a little...
22:31Jacob, I don't have time to wait. I've always got a clock above my head.
22:34Everybody's got a clock above their head.
22:35Yeah, well, mine's ticking faster and louder than everyone else's.
22:38Sarah...
22:39Look, you never know, one day they might find a cure for Fanconi anaemia.
22:42And then I'd get my life back and I'd have all the time in the world to raise a child.
22:45But what if they don't?
22:46I'm sorry, I just don't want you to...
22:47What? Get my hopes up?
22:48Or have false hope.
22:49Oh, what's the difference?
22:50Look, I'm never going to stop hoping that they find a cure.
22:51Till I take my last breath.
22:52I tried talking her down, but...
22:53She didn't want talking down.
22:54She'd...
22:55She'd killed her husband.
22:56She'd killed her son.
22:57She wanted to die.
22:58And...
22:59Because of her religion, suicide wasn't an option.
23:01Suicide was a sin.
23:02So she needed someone else to...
23:28Suicide was a sin.
23:30So she needed someone else to do it for her?
23:35The person who she hated the most.
23:38Me.
23:40And she goaded me into doing it.
23:44She was pressing every button about my family.
23:49Adam and Matty leaving.
23:52Holly's addiction and the overdose that killed her.
23:55What were her last words?
24:02What?
24:04The last thing she said to you.
24:12You might as well have injected the heroin yourself.
24:16Those were her last words, Lewis.
24:18She 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?
24:52You think it's a good idea you've been here?
24:57I should have booked an appointment first. I'm sorry.
25:00Look, 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.
25:05Try and tell myself that I won't get mad at the small things.
25:13You 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.
25:20And I know I'll be the best mum because I don't need anyone telling me to make every day count.
25:24You know, all my child will know is love.
25:26I won't doubt it for a second.
25:27Some 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.
25:38And yes, of course, I'm talking about my own family.
25:41I think you're talking about a lot of families.
25:44Anyway, here's me getting a million miles ahead of myself.
25:47I'm not naive and I do know what the chances are for me actually having a baby.
25:51Because IVF, there's no guarantee.
25:54I know, and 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, not the statistics.
26:06I know you still think I'm mad.
26:08Nah, it doesn't matter what I think.
26:12Look, the cancer op, I will focus on that first obviously, but
26:15the IVF, I just, I really need this.
26:21And what have your family said about it all?
26:24Well, you have told them, right?
26:27Right, look, I already know what you're going to say.
26:31Is it the cancer or the IVF, what don't they know?
26:35Any of it.
26:37Are you kidding me?
26:39Nobody knows?
26:40You can't tell anyone anything if they don't want to listen.
26:43This is my life, Jacob, not theirs.
26:44I'm the one that has to live it.
26:45I get that.
26:47But how have you even managed to keep it a secret?
26:51Surely 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.
26:57This is massive, Sarah.
27:02You can't.
27:04You shouldn't have to go through any of this on your own.
27:07I'm not going to.
27:08I've got you.
27:08I'm not even going to try and tell you what to feel.
27:17Because sometimes we all forget to think we're this.
27:24But do you know what?
27:25If you still want to marry John, then you're just going to have to forget about what you've just done.
27:29Never happened.
27:32I 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.
27:41If I knew he was coming, I...
27:42What? You could have prepared?
27:44You could have protected yourself?
27:45I could have done something.
27:46The 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.
28:07I was telling him...
28:09that we were done and I didn't want him in my life anymore and then...
28:14Lightning.
28:16You know, I told myself for so long that he was the only one that I'd ever have.
28:27I mean, I knew there'd be others.
28:35But they'd never be him.
28:36They'd never be Robert.
28:37Yeah, but John's not Robert either.
28:38No, he's not, but...
28:40He showed me that I was wrong.
28:43And 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?
28:49He's out looking for you with Vic.
28:51What?
28:51Well, he can't get to Robin first, cos 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.
29:00Oh, no, Kenny, no, I'll be out of it before the wedding's over.
29:07Actually, come on.
29:08I'm not sure there's even going to be a wedding.
29:11I don't register and I'll stick around much longer.
29:15I didn't know you like boxfist, Sam.
29:17Aye.
29:17If it's free, I'll drink out.
29:20This 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.
29:27Something to look forward to.
29:29And then this.
29:30Mmm, you, eh?
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.
29:45Never 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.
30:09Or bitter exes.
30:10Do him part.
30:14To Aaron and John.
30:15Aaron and John.
30:23I want to talk to him just as much as you do.
30:30But we're looking for Aaron, not him.
30:31Should have stayed where you were.
31:00Safe, behind those bars.
31:04Yeah, here he is, Dad.
31:05Meet John, the unwanted son you never knew.
31:09Not sure you miss much.
31:11What is wrong with you?
31:13Prison.
31:14You reckon it can change a man?
31:15Well, whatever you thought was going to happen.
31:17You 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.
31:26Not 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.
31:38Only, these aren't your shoes, Johnny.
31:40They don't fit you.
31:41I 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.
32:06I've no idea what you went through in there.
32:10It was a 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...
32:16It's like he's 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 is not intimidated by you.
32:35You don't need to be intimidated.
32:43But you do need to be worried.
32:45Because you're happy ever after.
32:49It's already dead in the water, brother.
32:50What 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 that 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 for you to hear right now.
33:34I understand that.
33:35But you didn't understand her, did you?
33:40She obviously snapped because she found out you were having an affair with her husband.
33:43There 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 in that mad little brain of yours?
34:04You're a bully.
34:07Sorry, 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 over a messed up woman you didn't even know.
34:16Because she was still his mum.
34:21I built up for so long.
34:24What would it be like to find my family?
34:26Okay.
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.
34:37We do.
34:38Of course we do.
34:39No.
34:40Because it turns out my biological family's made out of murderers and liars.
34:45You think you can talk your way out of anything?
34:47Or you can't talk yourself or Moira out of this?
34:49Lewis.
34:49No.
34:50You thought you got away with this and you did until today.
34:54I'm going to tell the police everything and my mum's finally going to get justice.
34:57Problems remain problems when 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 that works for everyone.
35:18Yeah, and does that include me?
35:20You're at the front and centre of it all.
35:21Look, I know that you and I are never exactly going to be friends, but that doesn't mean
35:29that we have to be at each other's throats every second and every day.
35:32I mean, who's that helping?
35:34This offer, get to it.
35:37This 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 got smashed to pieces.
35:50I have a friend.
35:51He lives not too far from here, Liverpool.
35:54And, er, well, he's in that field.
35:57And it just so happens that he's starting his own chain of gyms.
36:00And he's looking for the right guy to be the face of the whole operation.
36:04And your friend's going to consider me.
36:06Why?
36:07Because we go way back.
36:09And he knows that when I give him a tip-off of a metaphorical horse,
36:13he's smart enough to back it.
36:15I'm just waiting to have a small print.
36:18No small print.
36:19Obviously, Monday to Friday, you'll be in Liverpool.
36:22But on the weekends, you'll have all the time you want to spend with the kids.
36:26And from where I'm sitting, that looks like a win-win.
36:40I'm scared to ask what you're thinking.
36:41Well, I'm actually thinking, how are you going to care for a baby on your own?
36:47Like every other single mum, I guess.
36:50I do actually have some kind of experience with that.
36:52And I'm not trying to talk you out of it or anything, but 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 change a nappy, sterilise bottles, puree a carrot,
37:06and find batteries for a monitor all at the same time.
37:09Right, but you're not trying to talk me out of it.
37:10And there's only so much baby TV you can watch before your head starts to melt.
37:15I mean, you might not think you need your family, but...
37:17Oh, no, I already know I'm going to need them.
37:19I'm not stupid.
37:20Thus, IVF, it's not cheap.
37:22Yeah, I'm pretty sure donors aren't either.
37:24Yeah, but I think I've got a few more bridges I need to get over before I reach that one.
37:27And there was something else I was thinking.
37:32Oh, now I am worried.
37:34About how I can make things easier for you.
37:37You don't have to go through it all on your own if you've got me.
37:40I know, I've already said I've got you.
37:42No, but I could be more than that.
37:45Could help you raise a baby.
37:48Share whatever needs doing.
37:49Make things easier and...
37:52be whatever you need me to be.
37:54Right, but why would you do that?
37:57You 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 might happen, I'm sorry, but you need to get that out of your head.
38:17I know you've been telling yourself something else.
38:20You're going to hate hearing this, but...
38:22he's over you.
38:23It's only me now.
38:24You know, I almost feel sorry for you.
38:26Because you still haven't realised what you are.
38:29You're a stick in plaster, Johnny.
38:31Just there to stop the bleeding.
38:34Which is ironic, really, giving you background.
38:36You've obviously been doing your research.
38:38And I'm the one who's obsessed.
38:40Yeah, just there until the wound heals.
38:42It's never going to heal.
38:44Well, today must have shown you that.
38:45Well, sadly for you, you haven't been watching closely enough, because...
38:48Oh, yeah.
38:49Yeah.
38:50Remember, Robert.
38:51You've been locked up in a cell.
38:52Yeah, the things I do for the people I love.
38:54If you had been watching, you'd see that the grown-ups are in the room now.
38:57I'll give Aaron what he needs.
39:01What he deserves.
39:03Someone who will always be there for him.
39:05Stick that in your wedding bells.
39:07You see, the thing is, with sticking plasters is, eventually they fall off.
39:12You were the worst thing that ever happened to him.
39:14I was, and still am, the only thing that ever mattered to him.
39:16All this was for nothing.
39:21Because that's what you are, Johnny.
39:22Nothing.
39:23Important to nobody.
39:28Irrelevant.
39:30Stop it!
39:31Oi!
39:32Oi!
39:33Oi!
39:36Are you serious?
39:39John!
39:39John!
39:39John!
39:40Moira was more of a mum to me than Emma ever was.
39:48You need to grow up and wake up.
39:50I don't know why you're getting angry again.
39:52Because you're still not listening.
39:54You meant nothing to her.
39:56Nothing.
39:57Given half the chance, she would have tried to smother you with a pillow too.
39:59That's not going to help, Ross.
40:01You throw that word around, justice.
40:03But it's seeing Kyle and Isaac grow up without a mum.
40:05Is that going to be enough justice for you?
40:06I'm sorry, I'm going to the police and you can't stop me.
40:09No-one has tried to stop you, Lewis.
40:10What, and you think they're just going to believe you?
40:12It's the truth.
40:13Yeah, but right now, it's just your truth.
40:16And the problem with that is that you've got no proof.
40:18And the police tend to 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, then I'll be forced to do the right thing
40:27and tell the police about that very illegal weed operation of yours.
40:32Choose your next move very, very carefully.
40:39That man's got anger issues.
40:43Best you find out now before you let him put a ring on your finger.
40:45Oh, shut up, Robert.
40:46My anger didn't land me in prison.
40:48Oh, please, while you listen to yourselves.
40:51Shall we all just go down to the playground so we can fight like children there?
40:53Mum?
40:54No!
40:54We can stand here shouting nasty little things at each other
41:01or we can go and finish the wedding because the clock is ticking.
41:06Dad would have hated this.
41:07The whole family would have been ashamed.
41:09It's not family.
41:11It's just some new toy you've got to play with.
41:12A replacement brother.
41:13All right, I get it.
41:14I get it.
41:16You must have played this out over and over in your cell in your angry little head.
41:21You'd gatecrash the wedding.
41:22The love of your life would fall for you all over again and leave with you
41:25and you'd disappear off into the sunset together.
41:30Pretty much is exactly how it played out.
41:36Well, I could fill the gaps in for you if you want.
41:42Yeah, let's hear it.
41:44All of it.
41:45Look, I've said everything I've come to say.
41:55The rest is just about you getting your future back.
41:59Feels like I should be thanking you.
42:02My thanks necessary.
42:04Gentleman's handshake should seal the deal.
42:06Look, you really think that you can just throw some money at me?
42:13There is no tune that you can play that 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, but 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 helped me.
42:26Yeah, get a job that your kids weren't ashamed of.
42:30Look, I will do anything to provide for my kids.
42:33Whereas you, I don't think you grafted your entire life.
42:35Yeah.
42:36Okay, I was born with the proverbial silver spoon in my mouth.
42:40But the annoying thing is, whenever I try and feed one of life's losers with said spoon,
42:45it ends up coming back in my face.
42:47You.
42:47You are a very brave man.
42:49I'm telling the truth, though, aren't I, Billy?
42:51Eh?
42:52I mean, you're a loser.
42:53Come on.
42:53Come on.
42:53Come on.
42:54Dawn realises it, and pretty soon your kids are going to realise it when they see you cleaning
42:57lorries.
42:58Well, no.
42:58Me and Aaron?
43:18No, you were right the first time.
43:21He tried to tell me there is no me and Aaron.
43:23Not anymore.
43:26How do you say he's just trying to get under your skin?
43:29Seriously, if there's something else I need to know...
43:30There's nothing else you need to know.
43:31He's just trying to wind you up.
43:32Don't give him what he wants.
43:33What I want is for you to make a choice between me and him.
43:35It's that simple.
43:37Now, I'm not playing games anymore.
43:39I'm going back into our wedding.
43:42I hope I see you there.
43:45John.
43:46John.
43:48Have you not done enough damage yet?
43:53You don't love me.
43:59If you did, you wouldn't have done this to me.
44:02This goes way beyond that, Aaron.
44:05You've got a decision to make.
44:07I'm not asking you to choose me.
44:09I'm asking you to choose us.
44:10I'm asking you to choose us.
