00:00Music
00:26London calling through the far away towns
00:29Now war is declared
00:31And battle come down
00:32London calling
00:34Preston and Market Press fish
00:35You don't know here
00:36Preston and Market Press fish
00:39Came in yesterday. Here it is.
00:41Have you got the money?
00:43Preston and Market Press fish
00:44And the Market?
00:48There you go.
00:49Now take it easy on here, alright?
00:52He won't know what's getting.
00:56Fresh strawberries, just in, fibre pellet, fresh strawberries, best in London, come and get them.
01:09There you go.
01:13What's with the lovely big smile?
01:15I used to bring your grandad over, tease the sandwiches from the flats when it was his shift.
01:19Just nice, it feels right.
01:22Right, well I've got big shoes to fill in, haven't I?
01:24Oh yeah.
01:26You all right? Oi, you're going to be asking me for them?
01:29Sorry Dad, can I have an apple?
01:31Yeah, of course you can. Here, one day, this will all be yours.
01:35She isn't the Lion King.
01:38That was cheeky. No, but seriously, not every kid gets a family business to take on after they've finished school, she'd feel lucky.
01:44I prefer a job in tech, AI and coding, that's how you get rich.
01:50Alright, you'll have to teach me, eh?
01:52Right, so one o'clock, you're going to be there, yeah?
01:56Yeah.
01:58Top quality apples, best in London, come and get them.
02:01Right, is that it then?
02:02Yeah, that's it, yeah.
02:04Can we at least not just try and talk about it, Peter?
02:07What should I talk about?
02:08You've made your bed, didn't you, Lauren?
02:09You all right?
02:13Time you go lay in it, hey?
02:18Bye Dad, thanks for the apple.
02:20My pleasure.
02:21Fresh strawberries, come and get them.
02:30So we're agreed then?
02:35Ravi?
02:38Yeah, go on.
02:39Paying staff, that's priority one.
02:45There's no point fighting to keep our heads above water when we've got no workforce and a bunch of pay dispute tribunals hanging over us.
02:51And what about creditors?
02:52Well, they'll just have to wait.
02:54Sorry, who put you in charge?
02:58My dead ex-husband.
02:59Listen.
03:11We can get through this, all right?
03:13We just need to hold the line.
03:15And cut back on any unnecessary expenditure.
03:18It says 60.
03:20Do you remember how important that is?
03:22I doubt it, she's ancient.
03:23I still remember mine though.
03:25Getting drunk off cheap cider,
03:26getting felt up by dead waters in the graveyard.
03:29Not helping, Priya.
03:31Never forgot it though.
03:32And that's my point.
03:34I don't need to throw money at her to make it memorable.
03:36Yeah, if only we don't have.
03:38After the year she's had,
03:40she deserves the best.
03:41Yeah, and that's really admirable, Ravi.
03:43But right now, we can't afford it.
03:45And whose fault is that?
03:51Don't worry.
03:53I'll sort it.
03:56What's your plan then?
04:12Eh?
04:14What, just ignore him?
04:16No.
04:17What then?
04:19Because trust me, I've had skin in this game.
04:21And the ostrich approach never works out.
04:23Harry, I'm trying to help you here.
04:27It don't count if it's out of gil.
04:30I just need more time.
04:53Mum?
04:55Just a minute, darling.
05:02Should lionesses have an apostrophe?
05:05I don't know.
05:06But advertising typos, apparently, can help things go viral.
05:13What do you think you're doing? You're supposed to be taking it easy.
05:16No rest for the fabulous.
05:18Now, do not look at me like that.
05:20Look, I've got an appointment down the surgery later on.
05:23And if I'm doing too much, they'll soon let me know.
05:26Yeah, and what if you have a heart attack when you get there?
05:28Well, I'll be in the perfect place, won't I?
05:32Right.
05:33What is the agenda for tonight?
05:35Nothing much.
05:36I've got some Dutch beers ordered.
05:38I found a big screen to play the match on.
05:40That's it?
05:41What, no, Gouda and Edam cheese board? Waffles?
05:46Right, that is it. Upstairs, put your feet up.
05:49Absolutely not.
05:52Hang on.
05:57Hannah!
05:58Hannah!
05:59I thought you were coming home today.
06:01My darling.
06:02Well, it's not nice being left in the dark, is it?
06:04When were you going to tell me you're selling the Vic?
06:09Calm down a minute, yeah?
06:11You could help me instead of just standing and looking all smug.
06:14Oh, this ain't my smug face.
06:16It's my disappointed face.
06:17I mean, apparently the apple ain't supposed to fall far from the tree,
06:20but you, you're halfway down the hill already.
06:22Yeah, you're really not helping, Mum.
06:24Well, it didn't get out of the boot and hide in a cupboard, did it?
06:27I mean, I know they call it marching powder, but...
06:30Yeah!
06:31Can you just please take this seriously?
06:33We've all solved this!
06:34Trust me!
06:35How?
06:36How?
06:37I'm a dead man!
06:38Yeah?
06:39Well, they'll have to get past me first.
06:41Why are you a dead man?
06:44It's just a saying, mate.
06:45I'm all good.
06:47Has there been a break in?
06:49Maybe come back later, Kojo.
06:50Yeah?
06:51We've got a few things to deal with here.
06:53Maybe that can help?
06:55We appreciate the offer, but this is a bit above your pay grade,
06:58so if you don't mind.
06:59It's about the drugs.
07:03That was you.
07:05You took them!
07:06Maybe I was helping you.
07:07No, no, no, no, I've got this.
07:08Mate, you need to talk to me, okay?
07:11It's all right, we're not cross.
07:14I didn't want you to get in trouble.
07:15Or Mr Mitchell.
07:17Oh, how lovely.
07:19You know, one day, the townsfolk will sing songs of your nobility.
07:25Now tell us where the gear is, Kojo.
07:27It was good to hurt you.
07:28No one, look at me.
07:29No one you don't know, all right?
07:30Just as long as you tell me what you've done with it,
07:32everything will be fine.
07:35Oh.
07:37Okay, then.
07:41I'll flush it down the toilet.
07:46Shouldn't you be at the hospital?
07:50It's gonna be okay, you know.
07:52Platitudes.
07:54Really?
07:56Sorry, didn't make a bite right off me.
07:58Right away.
07:59Need a punch back?
08:00I'm your girl.
08:01Just below the waist though, yeah?
08:02Can't feel those ones.
08:06Just to keep thinking of all the things, he's...
08:09He's never gonna see more and more things, you know?
08:11He's...
08:12He's never gonna see the...
08:14The sun.
08:15Or stars.
08:17Even the sky.
08:19And what if that is all my fault?
08:22You had an addiction, Lauren.
08:24Even if the drugs had an impact, it's not like you did it on purpose.
08:27It doesn't make it any better.
08:29He's still gonna be blind.
08:30He's still gonna be...
08:32He's still starting his life with a disability.
08:34Hey!
08:36I was a kid when I got my wheels for life.
08:39It's not stopped me, has it?
08:41I get it.
08:43Everything you're feeling is a lot.
08:45And...
08:46Yeah, he's gonna have a fight on his hands.
08:48But he's also got you there to catch him.
08:51And between you and Peter...
08:53You've got this.
08:55Not as a couple though.
08:57Everything else might be up in the air, but that...
08:59That is clear.
09:00And something happened?
09:01Yeah.
09:02Patrons ain't the smack heads.
09:04It's trying to suffer any man that moves.
09:06I'm not listening to this.
09:08You just can't help yourself, can ya?
09:09Do you remember what you said to me once, Lauren?
09:11Always better to tell the truth.
09:18I don't see what the problem is.
09:20You wanted a get-out-of-jail-free card.
09:22Well, you got one sitting over there playing with these dinky toys.
09:25It's my mate. I can't.
09:27Yeah, a mate who just flushed 50k's worth of gear down the bog.
09:31You thought he was doing the right thing?
09:32No.
09:38Ravi.
09:44What can I do to help?
09:47I think you already have, mate.
09:53You said it yourself.
09:55It looks like we've been done in here.
10:01It wasn't us that took the gear.
10:06It was some low-lives, on the rob, who got lucky.
10:09Out of the way, mate.
10:10Harry!
10:11Stop it!
10:12Harry, stop it!
10:13Harry, stop it!
10:14Give it to me!
10:16If we're gonna do this, might as well do it properly, eh?
10:19Go on.
10:20Laura, Peter, thanks for waiting.
10:21You've met Izzy, one of our I-care liaison officers.
10:26I'm here for some practical and emotional.
10:33So, you've got the results then, yeah?
10:34The genetic test results show a mutation in an I-gene called Pac-6.
10:39It's what we refer to as a random mutation, not one inherited from your parents.
10:46Oh.
10:47So, this is because of me, then?
10:48Because of what I was taking?
10:49As far as we are aware, opiate abuse hasn't been shown to cause this type of disease.
10:50So, you've got the results then, yeah?
10:51The genetic test results show a mutation in an I-gene called Pac-6.
10:56It's what we refer to as a random mutation, not one inherited from your parents.
11:05Oh.
11:06So, this is because of me, then?
11:09Because of what I was taking?
11:11As far as we are aware, opiate abuse hasn't been shown to cause this type of gene mutation.
11:17So...
11:22So, I couldn't have prevented this?
11:25Nothing you did could have led to Jimmy's condition.
11:31Jimmy's life will be different to your other son's,
11:34but that doesn't mean he can't live a happy and fulfilling life.
11:40You might need some time, but Izzy is always here to support you.
11:45Remember, you are not alone.
11:49Should we give you both a minute?
11:51Let you process what you've just been told?
11:55Did you hear?
11:56Did you hear?
11:57I'm sorry.
11:58I'm sorry, Lauren.
11:59I'm sorry.
12:00I'm sorry, Lauren.
12:02I'm sorry, Lauren.
12:03This whole time I've been blaming myself.
12:04I'm sorry, Lauren.
12:05I'm sorry, Lauren.
12:06This whole time I've been blaming myself.
12:11I'm sorry, Lauren.
12:12I'm sorry, Lauren.
12:13I'm sorry, Lauren.
12:18I'm sorry, Lauren.
12:19I'm sorry, Lauren.
12:20I'm sorry, Lauren.
12:25I'm sorry.
12:26I'm sorry, Lauren.
12:27I'm sorry.
12:28I'm sorry, Lauren.
12:29I'm sorry, Lauren.
12:30I was sorry, Lauren.
12:31I've been trying to do that.
12:32Why?
12:34This whole time I've been blaming myself.
12:35Maybe now we can try and move on.
12:40You know, just me and you, focus on Jimmy.
12:44Move on.
12:46Well, and fair enough, you being an addict
12:48didn't cause our son to be blind.
12:50But you're not off the hook.
12:52I told you, Peter, it was just a kiss.
12:55Yeah, you said that.
12:57It was.
12:58And you'd believe me in all, would you?
12:59If I told you that I'd stay round Priya's house.
13:02But nothing happened.
13:03Oh, no, we just kissed.
13:05Well, from what I heard,
13:07it was more Sookie that you...
13:09that she was your type.
13:11Really? Look...
13:13This is just funny to you, is it, then?
13:16No, it's not.
13:18It's not, it's not funny to me.
13:21In fact, it's...
13:23it's actually deadly serious.
13:26You have made me feel
13:28like the worst
13:30woman in the world
13:32for weeks.
13:33Like the worst mum in the world.
13:37I have been beating myself up about this
13:39for so long.
13:41All the sleepless nights.
13:45And now...
13:46we know the truth.
13:49And you think one pathetic little story
13:51is gonna make all of that just disappear.
13:58Yeah.
13:59I mean, we know the truth now, but...
14:01I'm not exactly just gonna be popping champagne, am I?
14:05Jimmy's still blind.
14:07He is.
14:08We've still got the fight of our lives ahead of us.
14:11But that...
14:13that for me was one little glimmer
14:15of hope.
14:17One little glimmer of hope
14:19for me, Peter.
14:21And you...
14:23you can't help but paint me out
14:25to be some sort of monster.
14:27Because you hate me.
14:28Do you really hate me that much, Peter?
14:30Look.
14:31Of course I don't hate you.
14:32Look.
14:33I don't hate...
14:34You've got to hear me out.
14:35I...
14:36I can't stop thinking about...
14:39you and Zach.
14:40I can't.
14:41Will you just keep on repeating that in your head
14:43then over and over
14:44and see if it makes it any better?
14:46Because I've got more important things
14:47to be dealing with.
14:48Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
15:02I can explain.
15:17Yeah, I think you're better ahead.
15:19I come in late this morning
15:23to all of this
15:24and then I see that the back door had been forced open.
15:26Take-ins have gone, everything.
15:28What you messing about, fam?
15:29Hey, hold on.
15:31Everything.
15:34Where's the supply, man?
15:35I've got customers waiting.
15:42Yeah, so everything's gone?
15:44Apart from this car?
15:45Maybe they thought there was something more valuable in the boot.
15:48Rav, what's going on, man?
15:50You told me how that bit's to shift.
15:52You told me how that bit's to shift.
15:58Alright, see me right now, yeah?
16:02Well, this is calm.
16:03Okay, yeah?
16:05Hmm?
16:06This is level-headed.
16:08Okay.
16:09Let's not see what happens if I have to take it up a level.
16:12You get me?
16:13Hold on, hold on, hold on.
16:14Have you called the police?
16:17No, not yet.
16:18No, a man gets turned over, forgets to call the feds, yeah?
16:21I didn't think it'd be a good idea, considering what was in the boot.
16:23Maybe you're not as dumb as you look.
16:25Or maybe you are.
16:29Leave him.
16:31Just think of a plan B.
16:34Okay.
16:45You need to sort this.
17:04Anna.
17:09You're back.
17:10Just so you know, I'm not talking to you.
17:14But if I was talking to you,
17:16I would be asking why you think it's okay to leave me in the dark about everything.
17:20I'm not a little girl anymore, Dad.
17:22Well, you'll always be my little girl.
17:24That sounds like talking.
17:26Well, what do you want me to do?
17:28Perform me a dance or more scale or something?
17:30I'm sorry.
17:32Why didn't you just tell me what's going on?
17:36In the space of an hour,
17:38I found out that you're getting a divorce,
17:41Elaine's had a heart attack,
17:43and I'm losing my home.
17:45The same home that Mum's responsible for destroying
17:48by pushing her other ex-husband
17:50in front of a moving car driven by a weird tuba killer.
17:54Yeah, well...
17:56I've got to admit it.
17:58It's a lot for a Wednesday.
18:00Come here.
18:02I need a duck.
18:08You smell, by the way.
18:10I know.
18:12You smelly and sick, Dad.
18:13It's not good for your health, Dad.
18:14You might want to pack that in.
18:15What do you want, Ivana?
18:16Well, okay.
18:17Someone's salty.
18:18I don't like seeing you like this, jarring.
18:28Anyways, so, about my birthday...
18:30I know you're trying to be nice in that,
18:31and I do really appreciate it,
18:32but my sweet 16th in the family restaurant...
18:34just a bit lame, innit?
18:35Just a bit lame, innit?
18:36Like, little kids' party lame.
18:38And you're going to come out and hand out jelly and ice cream,
18:40that sort of lame.
18:42So, instead, I was thinking that me and a couple of mates,
18:44we can go into Central and, like, try and get into a bar where they don't check IDs.
18:48I don't have to, like,ского of course.
18:50Obviously, I'm joking.
18:51Obviously, I'm not really, but like...
18:53You need a venue?
18:55You can have a bar if you want.
