00:00🎵
00:26So, Dad, I read, right, that, er, bonding with your sibling is actually really good for your health.
00:34Right.
00:36You know how Devinder's just been so down recently with his dialysis?
00:40I was just thinking that if we went into town, did some shopping, it would probably cheer him up.
00:46You know, if only I had some money.
00:49Well, town's too busy and we don't want him getting tired in the crowds tonight, do we?
00:53I'm fine.
00:54I've got something for you.
00:57Um, what's this for?
01:00Er, just some detective work.
01:03Oh, please, Dad, can we go into town?
01:06Fine. Do not go flashing us about and take it easy, yeah?
01:10Yeah.
01:11Don't worry, Daddy, I'll look after him.
01:13Don't mean looking after now, do I?
01:16That's what the Deviney PI do for you.
01:21Helping me look after someone I need to make amends with.
01:24One of many.
01:26When your days are numbered, you start thinking about the past.
01:30I want to make things right.
01:33I'm proud of you, Dad.
01:47There's no one in.
01:50Life is so much better without pants.
01:52Er, yeah, I mean, they do say a little bit of air circulating is good for you.
01:57I meant Prius. We don't have to put up with her nipples draped all over the bathroom anymore.
02:01Yeah, I mean, it is tidy without her.
02:04Yeah, quieter.
02:06I'm all about the quiet life these days.
02:08Is that what happens when you're middle-aged?
02:10You're in a good mood.
02:13Yeah, well, Dad says he's got big plans for me.
02:16Yeah, let's just talk about that over lunch, shall we?
02:20Sounds good.
02:21This thing with Nish is too risky.
02:24Last week it was a close call.
02:26If he finds out what you're up to...
02:28Well, you don't know if he heard, right?
02:31But all we can do is stick to the plan.
02:32What if you did?
02:33And while you think you're playing him, he's actually playing you.
02:36Look, trust me, I won't let anything happen to any of you.
02:40Look, trust me, I won't let anything happen to any one of us.
02:45I promise you.
02:49Two flat whites, please, Ben.
02:51Bernie.
02:53Sorry.
02:55Have you seen this?
03:00Can't come quick enough.
03:01Well, it'll soon be over.
03:03We'll just, um, grab a table, Ben.
03:07I can't get away from it.
03:11You just need to focus on yourself.
03:13Staying sober.
03:15What is it Gran always says?
03:17Just make that smile, aren't you?
03:19Can I get you anything else?
03:21No, I've got everything I need.
03:26Mum!
03:27Hello, love.
03:28You look nice.
03:29Oh, thanks.
03:30I was waiting on a serving pie and mash.
03:32I'm just stuck in there while Ian's away.
03:34He'll be back from the States soon.
03:36I would come and keep you company,
03:37but me and Gina are going into town with Dad.
03:39Oh, well, don't worry, love.
03:40There's always a way to brighten up the day.
03:42You're right.
03:44And there was I thinking this day was going to be really boring.
03:48The cat's away, so I thought maybe we could, um...
03:51I wish, but I've mucked my eyeballs in spreadsheets and back-to-back meetings.
03:55You certainly know how to get a girl in the mood.
03:58Look, I'd love the distraction.
04:00Honestly, I've got a lot to do with the business.
04:02I want to make the most of Dad's investment.
04:04Mum, what about later?
04:06I've got too much on.
04:08I'm sorry.
04:29Oi!
04:30Oi!
04:31Keeps the doctor away, did it?
04:33Reap fruit off my stall,
04:35free roof over your head.
04:37You're getting sick of me already.
04:39I know things are tough, I do, but...
04:42Any idea roughly when you might be moving out?
04:46I get that you're doing me a massive favour,
04:48and I want to move, I do.
04:50But right now I need to get a job so I can save for a deposit.
04:54You wouldn't want to see me out on the street, would you?
04:56No, of course not.
04:58But you are definitely getting a job.
05:01Babe, it is my number one priority.
05:05Wow, so good.
05:10Thinking spending some time with Vinnie today?
05:14I think he said he was busy, you know.
05:17Come down to the restaurant, spend some time with my eldest son instead?
05:21Well, the restaurant's pretty booked up, so I'll be busy.
05:25How much fun for you?
05:28What's the real reason you don't want me there?
05:33Sookie's made a reservation for her and Vinnie.
05:37Dad, you don't need to stress the scene.
05:39We live across the square from each other.
05:42Can't avoid her all the time.
05:45Vinnie's got every right to spend some time with his mother.
05:49Yeah, they should have their lunch in peace.
05:59Come on.
06:19You want to take a break, darling? I can manage.
06:22Thanks.
06:24What can I get you, darling?
06:54Bit thirsty?
06:56What? You can't come up here.
06:58I mean, who are you?
07:00Where are my manners?
07:02I'm Fraser.
07:04I'm an associate of Dean Wick's.
07:08Get out.
07:10I'm not meaning you any harm.
07:12I've just got a message for you.
07:14I'll keep this simple.
07:16Dean's offering you a deal.
07:18You retract your false witness statement from the night that poor young guy was murdered.
07:23And he'll confess to what he did to you.
07:32So these big plans your dad's got for you.
07:35Think you've any clues now?
07:37Maybe he's trying to sell something off to give me the cash.
07:40Right, well, you need to push him a bit more.
07:42See if he'll tell you.
07:44Can't have him dragging his feet too much. Who knows how long he's got?
07:47Yeah.
07:50Don't mind me.
07:54Mother and son time is important.
08:06You don't just get to walk into my home and offer me some stupid deal.
08:11I mean, why would I retract my statement when I did see Dean on the night of Kiana's murder?
08:15Dean says he wasn't, no.
08:17Oh, and you believe him?
08:19Do you even know what kind of man you're doing business with?
08:22What he did to me?
08:24Your associate is a rapist.
08:26I'm just the messenger.
08:28You retract your statement, he'll confess to what he did to you.
08:31I don't care how many times you say it, I don't believe you.
08:34Well, I'm sorry for pointing out the obvious, darling.
08:38But I'm not sure you're saying no to the deal with a clear head.
08:42Just like I'm not sure you're fit to testify.
08:45Get out.
08:46I'd be all over the place, too,
08:48knowing that I was going to tell a huge, great lie to a courtroom full of people.
08:53I'd be tanning down the booze and all.
08:55Look, I know what you're trying to do.
08:57You can't handle little old me coming for a wee chat.
09:00How are you going to handle a witness?
09:01It's not a lie.
09:03Right, Dean's a murderer and he's going down for a long time.
09:06What is going on?
09:08Who are you?
09:10I'm Nabydy.
09:11Yeah, I can see that.
09:13I was just leaving.
09:14Get out!
09:16Think about it, eh?
09:23I swear by almighty God that my evidence will be the truth.
09:28The whole truth and nothing but the truth.
09:32Ravi, this place keeps you really busy, doesn't it?
09:36Of course, I know it's going to take up a lot of your time.
09:40If that's what my dad wants, then I'll make a go of it.
09:47The minute he realises how much work it is, he'll be begging you to take it off him.
09:51Your dad is not going to get his own way.
10:01Nish.
10:04Thank you for coming.
10:07And sorry for the last minute change of location.
10:11Who was that with Dad?
10:16I know I don't deserve your time.
10:18I wasn't sure if I should come.
10:20I've wanted to look you in the eye for so long.
10:23To understand why you took my husband's life.
10:29Ayesha?
10:33It's OK.
10:36I thought you had back-to-back meetings.
10:38I do. Online.
10:40Oh, take a break.
10:42Ten minutes can do the world of good.
10:46I've got to take this. I'm sorry.
10:49Junior night.
10:52The girl's back yet?
10:54Not yet.
10:55Oh, well, tell her I popped in.
10:57I'll be back in a minute.
10:59I'll be back in a minute.
11:01The girl's back yet?
11:03Not yet.
11:04Oh, well, tell her I popped in.
11:06Jelly deals aren't always the best company.
11:08You're right.
11:10I hate to see a lady disappointed.
11:13Not that I ever have.
11:15I'll take your word for it, then.
11:16I'm Harry Mitchell.
11:18And you are...
11:19Cindy Bill.
11:20Married to Ian Bill.
11:22Lucky Ian.
11:23But I don't see him round here, so...
11:25Harry.
11:26You could stay for a drink.
11:28I've got pairs of shoes older than you, love.
11:32Come on.
11:33I've got to be better company than jelly deals, right?
11:38Yeah.
11:39All right, then.
11:41What can I get you?
11:43Oh, a glass of white wine, please.
11:47All right, Billy?
11:48Not soon. It's Teddy.
11:50Hello, Teddy.
11:52I've made out with Vinnie and Ravi,
11:55and now I want to make amends with Ayesha.
11:57All of a sudden, you've become someone who does the right thing.
12:00She's the one I've wronged the most.
12:02At least she deserves an apology.
12:05And I'm sure you want some answers.
12:08You're playing games.
12:10I don't know what's going on here.
12:12Maybe I shouldn't have come.
12:14Please, stay.
12:18I don't even know if what you said in your message is true.
12:22I wish it wasn't.
12:24I really am dying.
12:26She took the life of an innocent man.
12:29And you want me to help you go to your grave with a clear conscience?
12:33And you?
12:34You were in on this.
12:36Getting me here to make himself feel better.
12:39I expected more from you.
12:41No, I swear. I didn't know.
12:43She had nothing to do with it.
12:45You're both sick.
12:51Mum.
12:52Let it go, Vinnie.
12:55Let them have their moment.
12:58Ayesha!
12:59Ayesha!
13:00Ayesha, stop, please!
13:02Please, just leave me alone.
13:04Look, I had no idea that Nisha got in touch with you.
13:07I'm not going to be a pawn in whatever game you and Nisha play.
13:10Nisha and I are divorced.
13:13Look, can we talk?
13:15Please?
13:18I wish we could shout it from the rooftops, you know?
13:21Celebrate properly.
13:22I don't think we should just jet out of respect for Debbie.
13:25No, of course.
13:27You should hear back about the post-mortem suit.
13:30It's taken ages.
13:31Yeah, well, it's a process, isn't it?
13:34These things take time.
13:35But Debbie slipped away.
13:37It's an open and shut case.
13:39And you and me volunteering to give our DNA samples to the police,
13:42well, that'll help speed things up, won't it?
13:44No, I just want it over so I can move on.
13:48We're engaged. You're pregnant.
13:50We've got everything we wanted.
13:52I only wish you could wear it.
13:54Well, it won't take the journalists long to resize it,
13:56and soon it'll be right here, sparkling away.
14:00I've got to go. See you later.
14:07Mm.
14:09That's a beauty.
14:11Yeah?
14:13My grandma's engagement ring was just like that.
14:16This was my grandmother's engagement ring.
14:18Then it was Debbie's, but now it's Sonia's.
14:22Oh, you got engaged?
14:24Oh, mate, that's great news. Congratulations.
14:27But we're keeping it quiet out of respect for Debbie.
14:31I didn't think Sonia would want it, you know, being that it was Debbie's,
14:34but she knows how much it means to me.
14:38I can't wait to get married.
14:40Even though everyone's gossiping about us.
14:43You and Sonia have been through a lot together.
14:46So, take it from me, honestly.
14:48Don't waste one more minute on whatever anyone else thinks.
14:53You deserve to be happy.
14:56Yeah?
15:09When Nish was released, he wanted to come back into the family.
15:13Back to me.
15:16But it was never going to work.
15:19I, um...
15:22I'm a different person to who I was when he went in.
15:28He hasn't changed, though.
15:31Still the same controlling, manipulative, lying, selfish little man he always was.
15:38So I wish I could tell you that he's apologising to make you feel better.
15:42But he's just doing it to get rid of his own guilt.
15:47I couldn't believe it when I got his text, but...
15:51I thought I owe it to myself and to Hardeep to face him.
15:56I don't live in London.
15:59I haven't since after Hardeep's death. I needed a fresh start, but...
16:04I was here for a long weekend, visiting family, and I thought,
16:09I can't get on that train home without hearing what Nish has to say.
16:17I'm sorry.
16:21It wasn't your fault.
16:28Yeah, Gina, I'd really appreciate it if you could resize it quickly.
16:31My fiancée can't wait to wear it.
16:34That's wonderful, thank you.
16:36That's wonderful, thank you.
16:38Thanks, bye-bye.
16:39You trying to avoid me or something?
16:40No, I'm just in a hurry.
16:42Yeah, so am I, to get a return on my investment.
16:44Look, everything that's proceeding is discussed.
16:48These type of investments, I will get you your first return very soon.
16:51When? Because my patience has done a runner.
16:54You'll have some cash within 24 hours.
16:56Well, make sure I do.
16:58Because next time, I won't ask nicely.
17:01We were so close.
17:03Me and you, weren't we?
17:05Any little bit of news I had, and I don't want to run and tell you first.
17:10You were like the best friend I'd ever had.
17:15More than a friend.
17:21You mean...
17:23Nish...
17:25You mean...
17:27Nish...
17:33He was suspicious of all the time I was spending at your house.
17:39He thought I was having an affair with Haldip.
17:46But it was you...
17:48who I had feelings for.
17:51And I was petrified of my feelings, that I didn't understand them.
17:56So I said nothing.
18:00I knew what Nish thought.
18:04And I never corrected him.
18:09How?
18:11How?
18:13How could you let that happen?
18:15Look, if I had thought one second that Nish would kill Haldip, I...
18:23Nish was the one that took his life.
18:26But I'll always blame myself, and I always have done.
18:34If I had been brave enough...
18:38to be honest with Nish about how I was feeling...
18:42Haldip would still be alive.
18:45And I'm not asking for your forgiveness.
18:47Because I know I don't deserve it.
18:52But seeing you after all these years, I...
18:56I couldn't not tell you the truth.
19:02A good man died...
19:05because of me.
19:08And I'm sorry.
19:09Aisha, I am really, really sorry.
19:13This is witness intimidation. We should call the police.
19:16No, that's the last thing we need. It could delay the trial.
19:20And Mum has suffered long enough.
19:22What if he comes back, and you're in danger, and the kids?
19:25I don't think he's coming back, and I don't want to call the police.
19:28I need this trial to be over, Mum. I want to get on with my life. Please.
19:33Look, you go back to the bar, and I'll be down in a bit.
19:37I know how difficult it is for women from my background to...
19:42face up to their sexuality.
19:45I've seen some of these women trapped in abusive relationships with men.
19:53The only person responsible for Haldip's death...
19:57is Nish.
19:59And I'm sorry.
20:00The only person responsible for Haldip's death...
20:04is Nish.
20:09And as for...
20:11facing up to your feelings...
20:15I know firsthand it's easier said than done.
20:22Did you really think I ran out of tea and sugar that often?
20:30I knew I was gay.
20:32I've known since I was a kid, but...
20:35you know how it goes.
20:37Family...
20:39community, culture.
20:41I mean, it's different for some of us now, but back then...
20:48I wish I'd known.
20:52When Haldip died, I felt how fragile life was.
20:57And I became obsessed with not wasting another minute, so I came out.
21:02To my friends, my family, to...
21:05everyone at my couture in Manchester.
21:08To myself.
21:10Are you happy...
21:12being yourself?
21:16It wasn't easy to start, but...
21:20yes.
21:22Yes, I am.
21:24My life is very different now.
21:27I even run a group for LGBTQI plus six.
21:33That's brilliant!
21:39And I am so glad that you're happy.
21:43Don't let anyone ruin that.
21:46And what Nish has done...
21:49getting you here is just...
21:51the last attempts of a dying man to try and make himself feel better.
21:58He won't be getting any sympathy from me.
22:02And I'm not afraid of him.
22:21Okay, so...
22:22first you're too busy to talk to me in the big,
22:24and now you're stalking me outside my house.
22:26Well, one of my meetings got cancelled.
22:28No, you saw some young bloke chat me off the bar,
22:31and you got jealous.
22:32Jealous?
22:34Just trying to get up on my schedule, that's all.
22:38Well, we could be back any minute.
22:40Oh, no, it'd be terrible.
22:43We could go back to yours.
22:45What, or if someone from the square's seen us together?
22:48And what about your very important work?
22:51Like you said,
22:52in ten minutes we'll do the world again.
22:56It's...
23:09Well, I'm so glad you've come back.
23:13Please believe me,
23:14all I wanted was to see you and tell you to your face how sorry I am.
23:19I owe you that much.
23:20You're pathetic.
23:22I know the truth, Nish.
23:25Sookie told me the reason you killed Hardeep,
23:27so if you brought me here to use that against Sookie,
23:33it hasn't worked.
23:35You're the only person responsible for what happened.
23:39You killed Hardeep.
23:41It was your fault,
23:43and your fault alone,
23:44and you can go to your grave knowing
23:46that you took the life of an innocent man.
23:50But in the eyes of the law,
23:51I've served my time.
23:55That was my repentance.
23:56Repentance?
23:57Dad,
23:58I know you don't like to talk about it,
24:00but I'm telling you, this is not the place.
24:01Here?
24:03I thought I'd remind you what a decent man looks like.
24:07This is what you took from the world.
24:10I hope
24:12when you're taking your final breath
24:14and closing your eyes,
24:16the last thing you see are Hardeep's final moments.
24:21His pain,
24:22his blood,
24:23his suffering.
24:26Because it was all by your hand.
24:36It was really nice to see you.
24:39Yeah, you too.
24:41Look,
24:42why don't you stay for a bit now that you're here?
24:47I'd love you to meet Eve.
24:54I can't let Fraser get to you.
24:56It is exactly what Dean wants.
24:58Yeah, but he was right, though.
24:59You know, I fell apart in front of him.
25:01How am I going to manage under cross-examination?
25:03We'll just take it one step at a time.
25:05Okay, we've got your pre-trial interview next week.
25:07Let's just focus on that for now.
25:10Look, even if you did retract your statement,
25:12we have no guarantee that Dean would keep his side of the deal.
25:16Mum,
25:17he treats you into recording that fake confession.
25:20Okay, you know you can't trust him.
25:23You're right, you're right.
25:25But it don't matter how hard it's going to be.
25:27I am taking the stand.
25:30That's great.
25:31I know you can do it.
25:33Yeah.
25:34No.
25:35Okay.
25:54Oh.
26:00Eve, this is Ayesha.
26:01Ayesha, this is Eve.
26:03Hi.
26:04Hi.
26:05Ayesha was Hadeep's wife.
26:08Hadeep, as in...?
26:09Yeah.
26:10Yeah.
26:11And he's called Ayesha down here to get her forgiveness.
26:14But he's not getting a thing from me.
26:16He is.
26:17He is.
26:18He is.
26:19He is.
26:20He is.
26:21He is not getting a thing from me.
26:23Yeah, too right.
26:25Well, it's lovely to meet you.
26:26Oh, you too.
26:27Yeah, go get yourself a table and I'll get the drinks in.
26:30What are you having?
26:31A glass of red.
26:32Oh.
26:33You remember.
26:34Yes, I remember cleaning it off your new rug.
26:39Hello, my darling, what can I get you?
26:41Hi, Elaine.
26:42One beer,
26:43a small brandy and a glass of red, please.
26:46Coming right up.
26:52It's lovely seeing how well they're getting on after all this time.
26:57You got in touch with Ayesha for what?
26:59To ease your conscience?
27:01I've got no right to expect anything from Ayesha.
27:05But if me reaching out to her has led to them reconnecting, then...
27:11..at least I've done something good.
27:13Mm-hm.
27:14I mean, look at them.
27:15Yetting on like a house on fire.
27:17Yes, well, they are old friends, so...
27:21Old friends?
27:23Is that what Sookie said?
27:25Huh.
27:28Well, you know, technically, she's right.
27:31Oh, shut up.
27:33What are you on about?
27:35What, she didn't tell you?
27:38Well, imagine my surprise looking at Ayesha online
27:43and seeing that since Adeep passed away,
27:47she's an out and proud gay Sikh woman.
27:52I guess you could say that she was Sookie's first love.
27:56So I think it's great that they've reconnected.
28:00I just hope it's not a problem for you.
28:12Long story out, really.
28:14There's so much to catch up on.
28:15In this spot, actually!
28:17Yeah.
28:18Yes.
28:42Yeah.
