00:00Zach isn't my dad.
00:04He is.
00:06Him and your mum knew each other before.
00:08They had an affair.
00:10He didn't want you to find out like this,
00:12but he did want you to know.
00:14They're lying, Barney.
00:16I barely know these women.
00:18Tell him, Seth.
00:20Tell him they're lying.
00:22Tell him, Dad.
00:30Dad?
00:44I'm sorry, son.
00:54Will you excuse me?
00:56I think I need the toilet.
01:00I know about you.
01:04Did you have him killed like that girl?
01:08Get her out of my house.
01:10You are dangerous.
01:12You need locking up.
01:14How am I going to tell Sharon that her brother's dead?
01:16Come on, let's go.
01:26Why'd you tell him?
01:28It's too late, Harry.
01:30It's too late for more lies.
01:32That's your mum's going.
01:36Not mine.
01:38Harry, go upstairs and check on your brother.
01:40He's having a slash, Mum.
01:42You don't know that.
01:44Well, you're away.
02:00You okay?
02:12Yeah.
02:16Mate, you stink of aftershave.
02:20Dad, it was by the sink.
02:22I'm going to move, then.
02:31In a minute.
02:36Bon.
02:37Yeah?
02:39You want me to stay?
02:46How long have you known?
02:49Today.
02:50I found out today.
02:52Is that a lie?
02:53No.
02:56No.
02:57But you were going to lie.
03:06Right, we'll get through this.
03:08We will get through this.
03:10You know I can pull this family together.
03:13We've just got to get through the storm.
03:14You don't know how to the other side.
03:16I believe in us.
03:17I believe in us.
03:21I believe in us.
03:24Sweetheart.
03:25Mum, please can I speak to Dad on my own?
03:28You heard him.
03:33Yeah.
03:36I'll, um...
03:37I'll be in the bar.
03:40Oh, my angel, I...
03:45Just go.
03:58You too, Harry.
03:59Can I give you a hug?
04:16I bet you've got a million questions.
04:19Because I know I'll do.
04:21You'll get sick if you stay in those wet clothes.
04:31Remember that day you took us both fishing?
04:34You and Harry were really into it.
04:36And caught loads.
04:38Had to bash them over the head with a mallet.
04:40I didn't want to kill my fish.
04:42And I cried.
04:44And then you sat in the car.
04:46Stuck your nose in a book.
04:48The Midnight Garden.
04:51And when we got home, Harry gutted the fish.
04:54And he put one of the heads down my T-shirt.
04:56And I cried again.
04:58Well, older brothers can be cruel.
05:00And you made us all sit down and play a board game.
05:02Because you knew it would cheer me up.
05:04Clued her.
05:05That's your memory, Bob.
05:07Mum was Miss Scarlet.
05:09Because she always had to be Miss Scarlet.
05:11And who was I?
05:11Professor Plum.
05:13You put on a voice.
05:16Professor Plum.
05:18On the case, sir.
05:20I have one more question I must inquire over you.
05:25And I won.
05:26But I think Mum let me win.
05:28You know that feeling.
05:30It wasn't a real win.
05:32It felt a bit disappointing.
05:36Yeah.
05:36But I wanted her to be happy.
05:39I was happy.
05:40Because I knew it meant something to her.
05:43So I went along with it.
05:46Mum?
05:50Shall we talk?
05:51Why were you wet?
06:09I was in a crash.
06:12And the car went into some water.
06:15With Zack?
06:17Is Vicky right?
06:19Is he dead?
06:22Yeah.
06:28Did you do it on purpose?
06:29No.
06:31No, it was an accident.
06:32I was driving him back in.
06:33Why were you with him?
06:34It's complicated.
06:37Your brother and me made a bit of a run-in.
06:41And I was trying to sort it out.
06:42But he got the wrong end of the stick.
06:46And he grabbed the steering wheel and the car went off the road.
06:50And into the lake.
06:52And he's my dad?
06:59In a manner of speaking, yes.
07:03He's your dad.
07:04How long have you known?
07:10I only found out earlier today.
07:12Today?
07:15I don't understand.
07:21That makes you nervous.
07:26So Mum had an affair?
07:27Yeah.
07:28With Zack?
07:29Yeah.
07:29Did you find out?
07:31No.
07:31Did she love him?
07:33I don't know.
07:35Did he know?
07:36No.
07:38So, does Mum know all this time?
07:44She must have got a shock when we moved here.
07:51But Zack knows now what he did before.
07:55Yeah.
07:58You okay?
07:58Are you okay?
08:01Are you sure I can't give you a hug?
08:08No, my father.
08:11I'm still your dad.
08:14I'm still your dad, father.
08:16I'm still your dad.
08:17You've been wearing my aftershave.
08:28I wanted to smell the smell of you.
08:33Were you going to tell me?
08:37No.
08:37You were going to keep it a secret for you, Mum.
08:44For your protection.
08:46Is it blood?
08:48It don't matter.
08:50Because you're in my bones, son.
08:53You are in my heart.
08:56At the very core of me.
08:58And nothing needs to change.
09:03You, Harry, and Mum.
09:04You've all been hiding stuff from me for weeks now.
09:07How come Harry isn't talking to you?
09:09That ain't about this.
09:10What is it about?
09:12Sheree.
09:14Why would he be angry at you and Mum?
09:16Never mind, Mum.
09:17Please, never mind.
09:20Vicky said Mum hurt that woman.
09:23Did she mean Sheree?
09:26It was an accident.
09:29And that's how she died.
09:32An accident?
09:33Like with Zach?
09:37Look, you're right.
09:40This family has been drowning in lies.
09:44But now?
09:46Like, now is how?
09:47And what?
09:48And we can survive.
09:50All of us?
09:51As a family?
09:52No.
09:53Not your mum.
09:55But me, you and Harry.
09:58We're all the family you need now.
10:00And we have got your back.
10:02Always.
10:06You never suspected before, Nell,
10:09that I'm not your son.
10:10Oh, stop saying that, Barn, you are.
10:12Please.
10:12Please, just answer the question.
10:16No.
10:18Never.
10:19But we're not alike, are we?
10:27Well, not in obvious ways.
10:29But in other ways, we are.
10:33You know, we can both be a little bit soft.
10:37Both just as a silly voice.
10:39Yes.
10:44People love you, don't they?
10:46You always know what to say, how to be.
10:50Whereas me, I just feel wrong a lot of the time.
10:55Oh, I do too.
10:57Oh, and I do too.
10:58I just died it better than you.
11:00That's all.
11:01But you?
11:04You're perfect.
11:06And lovely.
11:08And pure.
11:09Anyways, what does it matter?
11:12You don't have to be alike
11:14to love each other, do we?
11:18And we don't have to be alike
11:19to be your dad.
11:24I could never hurt anyone.
11:28Couldn't even kill a fish.
11:29I want to go for a walk.
11:37Okay, I'll get me comb.
11:39Alone, please.
11:41I need to clear my head.
11:42Stay, Barham.
11:42We've barely finished talking.
11:44I'm done for now.
11:45Thanks.
11:45No, no, Barham, please.
11:46Just stop this.
11:47Please, stop it.
11:48Please.
11:49Can you just take your hands off me, please?
11:51Please.
11:51Please.
11:59Bar's closed.
12:14No, I've got to give it to you, Mum.
12:18You're an amazing liar.
12:20Like, world class.
12:23And it don't touch you, does it?
12:25No.
12:26Most people, they're burdened by secrets,
12:28but you, you just sat here
12:30like you've got an hand full of aces.
12:33So tell me,
12:35what really happened to Shireen?
12:44Okay.
12:47Let's do this.
12:50Sit down.
12:58You're right.
13:11I killed her.
13:18You seemed really upset earlier,
13:21and I just wanted to see if you're okay.
13:22I'm okay.
13:25I'm just worried about Sharon.
13:28Her and Zach are so close.
13:32Do you want to come through, Barney?
13:39Hi.
13:41How's that, Phil?
13:43Have a seat.
13:43Oh, I guess Sharon's my auntie.
13:57Yeah, that's right.
13:58I'm your sort of auntie, too.
14:01Sharon's my half-sister.
14:04I don't mean to be rude,
14:05but how come everyone knew before me?
14:09Sweetheart,
14:10we haven't known long.
14:13And I am so sorry
14:14that you had to find out this way.
14:30What?
14:31I'm so scared.
14:37Arden.
14:37They said you'd drown.
14:41I
14:42swam to the other side of the lake.
14:46Why?
14:48So they couldn't get me.
14:49They was going to bring you home,
14:50they weren't going to hurt you.
14:51How do you know that, Phil?
14:52Harry tried to kill me.
14:54It's not what they're doing, mate.
14:55Harry wouldn't hurt anyone.
14:58What are you doing here, Barney?
15:04I told him, Zach.
15:07He knows.
15:10I thought you were dead.
15:13I'll, um,
15:14I'll give you some space.
15:16Yeah, I'm going to go on as well.
15:20I'll get you some carotters to wear, yeah?
15:28Fine.
15:29Do you mind if I sit down, Barney?
15:30Barney, I, uh...
15:49I just want to say, um...
15:56I don't know.
16:06It's bad, isn't it?
16:11You just couldn't bear for her to have me, could you?
16:15Couldn't bear the fact that I might love another woman more than my own mother.
16:17No, darling.
16:22It wasn't that.
16:24It wasn't really anything to do with you.
16:28It was to do with my little boy.
16:31Barney.
16:32Look, you and Shireen...
16:34It was unhealthy.
16:36You know, any idiot could see that.
16:38I loved her.
16:39Yeah, yeah, you loved her, darling.
16:41You hated her, too.
16:43I mean, the arguments, the screaming matches.
16:46You know, the breaking up and then making up.
16:48I don't blame you for thinking that that is love.
16:51Right?
16:53Especially with me and your dad as role models.
16:55And I don't blame you for choosing someone volatile.
16:58Someone familiar.
17:00No, Shireen was nothing like you.
17:01Oh, yeah, of course she wasn't.
17:03What's Barney got to do with it?
17:06She found out that Teddy wasn't his dad.
17:10How?
17:11I told her.
17:13Too many martinis one night.
17:15And I underestimated her.
17:17She came round the next morning.
17:20Cogs had been whirring.
17:21She realised she could use it.
17:24Thought she had one up on me.
17:25Her pupils were like saucers.
17:27She was high as a kite.
17:29She won't use him, then.
17:30She stopped.
17:30Oh, yeah?
17:31Is that what she told you, was it?
17:33She said she was going to blow my secret,
17:36destroy my family,
17:37and make sure you never spoke to me again.
17:40Well, congratulations, Shireen.
17:42You've got what you wanted.
17:44So you murdered her instead.
17:46And she was pregnant, too, Mum.
17:48She had killed your grandkid.
17:52I mean, do you feel anything?
17:54It was an accident, Harry.
17:56We were having an argument, and she took a swing at me.
17:58I defended myself, and I pushed her, right?
18:01And she fell.
18:02It was an accident, I promise you.
18:06No!
18:06Maybe I am right for you.
18:12Harry!
18:13Stop!
18:15Please, don't do it!
18:16Don't you ever lay a finger on me again!
18:19She's done it!
18:20You know that!
18:21I don't...
18:22I will tell him the truth, not you!
18:25It wasn't Benji
18:37who killed Shireen.
18:41It was me, but...
18:42It was an accident, all right?
18:43It was a terrible, terrible accident.
18:52You didn't know.
18:53I can't bear to be around you.
19:15Why'd you lie?
19:18What's the point in him hating you, too?
19:20I mean, someone's got to look after our boys,
19:23and if it can't be me, then it's got to be you.
19:26What, do you think that'll make me forgive you?
19:30I'm not playing games, Teddy.
19:32You're never not playing games.
19:37Why are you here?
19:40I thought maybe Barney'd come here.
19:43What?
19:43We said he needed to spend some time on his own.
19:46Well, we've got to find him.
19:47We're his parents, Tate.
19:51We're still his parents!
20:03Guess he didn't take after you, either.
20:07Keep up those gym sessions, mate.
20:09You never know.
20:09I'll put the kettle on.
20:23That's why you've been sniffing around me lately.
20:27I thought it was a bit weird.
20:28I've been thinking about this moment so much.
20:37And now, see, I've just...
20:39You must have, um...
20:47You must have a lot of questions.
20:50How do I...
20:51Sorry, mate.
20:52Go on.
20:52You go.
20:53I'm going to ask.
20:54How long have you known about me?
20:56You know, when you went to the hospital?
21:00I heard the paramedic say what blood group you were, and I realised then.
21:04Why didn't you say anything?
21:07Barney, your mum...
21:09Nicola, she, um...
21:11She had me beaten up.
21:13And she threatened my family.
21:14She...
21:14She made it impossible.
21:16She was probably just trying to protect me.
21:18What?
21:19I'm sorry, Barney.
21:24The truth is, um...
21:28The truth is I'm worried about you.
21:34All this stuff that's come out about Shireen, I'm scared that you ain't safe.
21:41Teddy, your brother, they're all in on it.
21:43They're all out to protect her.
21:45And I'm sorry, you ain't gonna like to hear this, but you're my mate.
21:47She's...
21:48She's an evil.
21:50No.
21:51I'm sorry.
21:51Them, at best, they're just trying to protect her, and at worst, they're as bad as she is.
21:56Which is why I need to protect you.
21:58I need to get you safe.
22:00Bunny, I need to get you away from here.
22:02What?
22:03I know that this is a shock.
22:04I know we're going a million miles an hour, and you don't know who I am.
22:07I don't know who you are, but we will get to know each other, because you're my son, mate.
22:09You're my son, and I would never do anything to hurt you, mate.
22:12I don't need protection.
22:13Mate, did you hear what I said?
22:14Did you hear anything I said?
22:16Dad, that is enough.
22:16Your mum, she killed Shireen.
22:18She wanted me dead.
22:19Probably put Harry up to it.
22:21I'm scaring him.
22:22Mate, she's a psychopath.
22:23Your mum's a psychopath.
22:24I'm not a psychopath.
22:25She's my mum.
22:32Barney?
22:33Dad.
22:34Barney.
22:37Barney.
22:43You're alive.
22:45Listen, mate.
22:46I'm sorry if I scared you, but you need to trust me.
22:48Trust you?
22:49He don't know you.
22:50I'm your dad.
22:51I'm the one that brought you up.
22:53Right, Barney?
22:53Listen, listen.
22:54They ain't who they say they are, and I will keep you safe.
22:56You're safe with me.
22:58Barney, listen.
22:59Your dad tried to kill me.
23:01No.
23:01No, no, no.
23:02You attacked me, and you made me lose control of the car.
23:05I ain't forgotten about you, Harry.
23:06He wouldn't have kidnapped you, Barney.
23:08Barney, your family, they're dangerous.
23:10You don't know my family.
23:12I know your wife.
23:13Oh, my dad.
23:14Me.
23:15Me.
23:15Not what the courts would say.
23:17Because you had some grubby bunk up with my wife decades ago.
23:19It means nothing.
23:21He is my son.
23:22Your son?
23:23There's nothing like you.
23:23Look at all of you.
23:24You criminals.
23:25You scumbags.
23:26You should have kept your hands off my wife.
23:28I didn't know, did I?
23:29And that's why he's my son.
23:31He's mine.
23:32You say come on, Harry.
23:33Let's do it.
23:34Enough!
23:36Well, you're going to start swinging your fists, are you?
23:39Put your willies away.
23:42All that matters is what Barney wants.
23:44What, are you going to take an arm each, do you?
23:46Rip him in half.
23:48See who gets the bigger bit.
23:50You pathetic.
23:52Barney, darling.
23:53Look at me, look at me.
23:54Don't look at him.
23:57What do you need?
24:00I just want everything to come back to how it was.
24:02All right.
24:06Look, I'm going to need you to speak up for me.
24:09All right?
24:10Do you think you can tell me that?
24:11I don't know.
24:12Look at me, Barney.
24:13Look at me.
24:13Look at me.
24:15I believe in you.
24:18All right?
24:19You have got a voice in there.
24:22You've just got to use it.
24:24Come on.
24:25Come on.
24:25Come on, darling.
24:31You tell him what you want.
24:34I, um...
24:35I just want everything to come back to how it was.
24:40I hate having you listen to a word I've said.
24:42Zach, Zach.
24:44What do you mean?
24:46Go back to how things were?
24:47I want us all to be a family again.
24:50Before you fell out of Harry.
24:52Before everything went weird.
24:55I'm not coming home until we're a family again.
24:59Until we're together.
25:02Please.
25:03I can't do that.
25:05I'm Harry.
25:05People can't just make this better, mate.
25:09And that's okay.
25:10We can.
25:11We're strong.
25:14Look, none of what's happened
25:15means that we can't be a family again, all right?
25:18We make mistakes.
25:19Okay.
25:22We love each other.
25:25Yeah, Teddy?
25:28Yeah.
25:30Yeah, we do.
25:31And we're a family, Harry.
25:33And we stick together.
25:36What?
25:39What?
