0:00:02 > 0:00:05This programme contains some strong language
0:00:05 > 0:00:07- Any word on who did this? - Police say IRA.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09- Will your wife be wondering where you got to?- I'm not married.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Ever since the Arndale bomb, feels like one life isn't enough.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14Finally worked out what I want.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16I'm going to need more of you now.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18I am trying to save this place.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Charlie refinanced the business.
0:00:20 > 0:00:21You have no right!
0:00:21 > 0:00:23- What's your plan?- To trust Dad!
0:00:23 > 0:00:26I love you. I'm always going to be coming back here to you.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Two families, another baby on the way, and they don't know about
0:00:29 > 0:00:31each other. I would say that was pretty out of hand.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Well, at least I didn't bomb my own club.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Your bomb was YOUR bomb.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37We've got a problem.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I was adopted, by the way. When I was about five.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43There's something inside your head and it's driving you mad.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Are you all right?
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Argh!
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Who are you?
0:00:48 > 0:00:51His wife. Who are you?
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Did I die?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Not yet. But it can be arranged.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27You had a mild heart attack.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39So...
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Are we all getting on so far?
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Don't you joke! You shat on our lives!
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Don't you lie there and joke about it!
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Mum! Mum! Come on.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Get your hands off her!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55He's sick in the head!
0:01:55 > 0:01:56No, wait, stay.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Everybody else get out.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Claire, Joanne.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I want you to stay. Could you?
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Please?
0:02:09 > 0:02:10No chance, pal.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I can stay!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23It's the last time I ever do anything you ask.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30It's funny, really.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I don't remember him even liking the Osmonds.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Too soon for the Mormon gag?
0:02:41 > 0:02:45I'm sorry about before. I jumped to the wrong conclusion.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47It's hard to take in.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Yeah. Well.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Me too, lad. Sorry.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56It must have knocked you bow-legged.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Not really. Didn't like him all that much, anyway.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03You were in the club that night, weren't you?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Yeah. And you were lying through your teeth that night, weren't you?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08What was I going to say? It was down to him.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12What? Do you mean to say you've known about this all along?
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Why didn't you tell somebody?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I don't exactly remember you returning my phone calls.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21How is he? Is he all right?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Yeah. He's all right. Sorry to say.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Don't say that.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28And who the hell is this?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Lee. Pleased to meet you.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32This is my brother, Lee.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34This is my baby sister, Scarlet.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Hi. Nice to meet you.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43I feel like I'm in a really bad episode of "Surprise, Surprise."
0:03:59 > 0:04:00I'm sorry.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05To both of you.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08I'm sorry.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Is that your explanation?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Maybe if you asked me anything.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Just anything you like.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21How about "Why?"
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I met Joanne and fell in love...
0:04:29 > 0:04:31..and I was still in love with you
0:04:31 > 0:04:33and it got out of hand.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Where did you think he was?
0:04:35 > 0:04:36He worked away.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38With the sweet factory.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41"The sweet factory"? Is that what he told you?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44There is a sweet factory. It's a family business.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Is that true?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Yes.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51And does it pay well, this job?
0:04:52 > 0:04:53I, erm...
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Well, I kind of own it.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00So you're rich?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04He told me he was an industrial cleaner.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06What?!
0:05:06 > 0:05:07That's just bizarre!
0:05:07 > 0:05:10It was all I could think of.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Why not a spy or a pilot or something?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16An industrial cleaner? That was your fantasy self?
0:05:16 > 0:05:17SHE LAUGHS
0:05:17 > 0:05:19God almighty!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Have you got a big house?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I thought you wanted to know why.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27We know the why. It's always the same. The why.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29You wanted to screw two women at once
0:05:29 > 0:05:31but not have to live with what came next.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I think that's the "why" well and truly nailed.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36No. It was never, never like that.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Please don't talk about the bomb again.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Marks and Spencer's has managed to recover, and you haven't?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- Just...- No. You don't get to call the shots any more. No.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I don't want to know what you think.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49You lied because it suited you.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52You lied because you're weak. You lied because
0:05:52 > 0:05:55you don't mind whose lives were messed up
0:05:55 > 0:05:56as long as it's not your own.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05I had a baby. Our baby!
0:06:05 > 0:06:06In this hospital!
0:06:07 > 0:06:11And you made me feel like it was us. Just us!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14And you've poisoned that.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17You've poisoned everything.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Me, Scarlet.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25All the rest, all the rest!
0:06:28 > 0:06:29It's just...
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I will do anything...
0:06:40 > 0:06:41..to put things right.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Whatever "right" is.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48You can write it down.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- What? - I want you to write it all down.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Every day you were away.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01What you were doing. Where you were. Who you were with.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04But I can't remember. What would be the point of that?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07So I know. So I'm in on it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12So that bit of my life isn't a secret to me any more.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Yeah, but you'd be torturing yourself.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Don't you think I'm torturing myself now? Trying to guess?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Right, I really appreciate you letting me know about that.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Well, I am just in the middle of something now,
0:07:35 > 0:07:37so how about I touch base with you when I'm done?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Maybe an hour or so. All right, thanks now. Bye-bye.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Hi. How is he?
0:07:44 > 0:07:45He's OK.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48But there's something else that you should prepare yourself for.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49His affair?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Charlie filled me in. I'm really sorry, Mum.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Do you think the press'll get hold of it?
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Well... Word is that it might actually do me some good.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Blair's Babes have been seen as a bit non-descript.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05So this might just help mark me out from the pack.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06MOBILE RINGS
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I'm so sorry. I just have to get this. Alistair, hi...
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Every cloud...
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Mum, do you want me to...?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I'm going home.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Call me if he dies.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Well, well, well.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Turns out my dad is an utter prick.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30All that talking down to me.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33All the moral high ground, and all the time...
0:08:33 > 0:08:34He just nearly died in there.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37You might want to remember that bit.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Why are you suddenly on his side? - He made a mistake.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43It happens.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45To me.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47To him.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Even to you, one day.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56It's definitely going to happen to me.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00If you want to give me a kicking
0:09:00 > 0:09:03you're going to have to book an appointment.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06No. I'm not here to have a go at you.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I'm here to say that I understand.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I'm on your side.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I know why you did it.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17How can you know?
0:09:17 > 0:09:18The Manchester bomb. That bomb.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21I felt it, too.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24I felt something shift.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27That'd be the Royal Exchange. It moved six inches, apparently.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Don't be cute. You're in no position.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33You know and I know.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36We had a little peek into the hereafter, didn't we?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39A sneak preview?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- I don't remember.- Oh, come on!
0:09:42 > 0:09:46I could practically hear my coffin lid being screwed down.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47You're never normal after that.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51You're not MEANT to be normal after that.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53You'd better move in with me.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55You what? Don't be stupid.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Just till the dust settles.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00So I can keep an eye on you. All right?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Cos you're behaving like you're mental
0:10:02 > 0:10:04and somebody needs to keep an eye on you.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Ah!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09So is that a "No" or a "Yes"?

0:10:47 > 0:10:51# I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
0:10:51 > 0:10:55# It's no problem of mine But it's a problem I find
0:10:55 > 0:11:00# Living a life that I can't leave behind
0:11:00 > 0:11:04# There's no sense in telling me
0:11:04 > 0:11:08# That the wisdom of the fool won't set you free
0:11:08 > 0:11:12# But it's the way that it goes And it's what nobody knows
0:11:12 > 0:11:16# Well, every day my confusion grows... #
0:11:23 > 0:11:25And I'll tell you, Claire.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27If you're big enough to invite Scarlet
0:11:27 > 0:11:29then our Daniel should be big enough to turn up.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Well, what am I going to do?
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Punish Scarlet because her dad's been a total knob?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Well, don't ask me to explain it.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I'm a bit Old Testament on the forgiveness front.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Free food. Bound to be here.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44No explanation about last night?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46No, and he'd gone out by the time I got up.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Can I help, Mum?- Can't be easy. I mean, living in his old house.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50His old bedroom.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Nonsense. Samuel's got plenty of free bedrooms.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57It's just attention-seeking, and I've no intention of indulging it.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Hello! Happy New Year, Charlie, my boy!
0:12:01 > 0:12:03This is my grandfather, Samuel, this is Fliss.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Nice to meet you. Happy New Year, Fliff.- Fliss.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Hiya! Happy New Year! - Happy New Year!
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Happy New Year, Pete. How you doing, you all right?
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Here they are...
0:12:16 > 0:12:19All right? Oh, look who's here with her buttons!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Happy New Year!
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Hello!
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Happy New Year, Dad.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Happy New Year.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Flowers.- Very nice.- Happy New Year.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Happy New Year.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Now listen, darling, if I put these crisps in bowls
0:12:34 > 0:12:36will you hand them round for everybody?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Come on, then. That's it, there you go, you hold that.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- All right, what do you think? - It looks wicked.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45This is weird.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Right, come on, Harry. Shall we go and see
0:12:47 > 0:12:49if we can find Scarlet's Christmas present?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51It's under the tree, isn't it?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Got any nutriment round that joint, Claire?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- This gravy needs a bit of a buzz.- Sure.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Mind it's hot.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Do you want me to take that through?
0:13:02 > 0:13:03No. I'll do it.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07You could just get everyone to sit down.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Since when did you become the domestic goddess?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16About the same time you started acting a dick.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Just relax a bit, would you? You're setting everybody on edge.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Pretty hard to relax in your old house with a family that hates you.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Nobody hates you.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I can see the looks they're giving.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27You're a grown man living with his dad.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Those are looks of pity, not hatred. Get it right.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32It's getting cold and I'm getting hot with anger
0:13:32 > 0:13:36so if you gentlemen wouldn't mind coming through, this millennium?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Oh, very good, Claire. Topical. Nice.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Roasties!
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Have you just chucked peas on me?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Louise, can you put some spuds on Grandad's plate?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Yes. How many do you want, Grandad? - I'll have three, please.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- This is gorgeous, Mum. - It's lovely, thank you.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Have you been up all night, Rob?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Yeah, but I was playing the chillout room from four.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I'm nodding as if I know what that means.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Do you know what that means, Fliff? - Fliss!
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Very impressed though, I have to say.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05I was wrong about you, Rob, and I was wrong about the club.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Cheers!- Cheers.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Turned out all you needed was a bomb under your arse, after all.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Daniel. The kids. Language.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Be good for business when you get them riverside flats of yours built, Charlie.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- They back on to us. - That sounds exciting.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- If we get planning permission. - We'll get planning permission.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22I heard you have been turned down once already.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24They turned you down?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26The planning will go through.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27It's a conservation area, isn't it?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30That won't be a problem. Not to Manchester. Not right now.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32The planning office always turns you down once just to
0:14:32 > 0:14:34justify their existence.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37It's a long way from penny chews, I know that much.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39And a good thing, too. Congratulations, Charlie.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43People will always be scared of change.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Amen to that. Me and Tony Blair agree on that much.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48By people do you mean me? He means me, Flix.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- Fliss.- Looking round this table do you see anyone whose life has changed
0:14:52 > 0:14:54more than mine these past two years?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57That's a trifle self indulgent, Daniel!
0:14:57 > 0:14:59You didn't choose to change though, did you?
0:14:59 > 0:15:00You changed because you got found out.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Exactly.- How long have you been sharpening that one?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06As Grandad here will tell you, you could choose to hurt me
0:15:06 > 0:15:10for being your dad or I could choose to hurt you for being my son or...
0:15:10 > 0:15:12we could both grow up and eat our greens.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15All right? Am I right, Fliss? Did I get it right that time?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- I don't know you well enough. - You could just agree with Charlie.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21His girlfriends don't tend to last if they, well, start holding opinions.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- Dad! Sorry...- Fliss. Just keep your head down and keep eating
0:15:24 > 0:15:26while they tear into each other.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27- Hey!- Believe me, I've had years of practice.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29We're having a family meal here.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Can we just try and act like nice people. Please?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Does anyone remember what they act like?

0:15:42 > 0:15:45No. I think that's pretty much everyone's take on it.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47You do wind him up, though.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Well, he's just plain wrong about the warehouse conversion.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51How much is riding on it?
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Big numbers. But then big numbers don't frighten me.- Charlie...
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Pretty much everything we've got. - Jesus, Charlie, what were you thinking of?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01That was good. You sounded just like Dad.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05I'm sorry. Just got a lot of stuff going round right now.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Political stuff, or the fact you're having an affair?
0:16:09 > 0:16:10I know.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25When was this?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Does it matter? Fundraiser, or some lobbyist meeting.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Party conference.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31You were at the party conference?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34I think you might have your priorities ever so slightly skewed here.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Just be careful, hey?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- Yeah.- Woo hoo...

0:33:14 > 0:33:16Fuck.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18So you didn't recognise the fella firing the gun?
0:33:18 > 0:33:21No. Do you know what, I was looking at the gun not his face.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24That's very common. Never seen him before?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- No. - Would you tell me if you had?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Not unless you want to lend me a gun from one of your lads.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31I'm going to need all your CCTV footage. Outside and in.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33I'll go and sort that out.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Thanks, Daniel.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36You've been a bit unlucky, haven't you?
0:33:36 > 0:33:38You had that bomb down here, when was that?
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Four years ago. No trouble since.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Did you know there was dealing going on outside your club?
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Drug dealing? Outside a club in Manchester? Are you sure?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51I'm glad you think it's funny.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Bet your doorman thinks it's funny too.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57You can't arrest him. He's my Head of Security.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Been dealing Class As on your doorstep.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Expect you don't know anything about that either.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03So some wannabe fires a gun in my club
0:34:03 > 0:34:05and all you can do is nick my doorman?
0:34:05 > 0:34:09I can do more than that. I'm going to close you down until we've completed our investigation.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Which might be for a while.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13I told you you were unlucky.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32What do you want? It's not a Scarlet day.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Is Ryan in? I need to see him now.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36He's out.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37I can wait.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47The thing is, even when I was shouting at Dad,
0:34:47 > 0:34:51the truth of it is, part of me felt relieved.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Why? Because he gave you an alibi for lying?
0:34:56 > 0:35:01No! No, because... I don't know.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05It makes me feel as though I'm on the inside.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Why are you telling me this?
0:35:07 > 0:35:08Why would you think I even care?
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Because you were the start of it. Coming here with you.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15I just didn't know it at the time.

0:35:28 > 0:35:29- Who are you to talk to me? - SCARLET CRIES
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Just try and keep it down, will you?
0:35:35 > 0:35:37You step in here again without being asked,
0:35:37 > 0:35:39I know people who can mess you up big time, bro.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Sorry "bro"? What, we're Manc gangsta now, are we?
0:35:43 > 0:35:45A'right rass clad? Turned out nice again.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Don't rip the piss out of me.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52There's something you need to see. Not here.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53I'll be in the car.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03There's hours of this stuff. And do you know what's brilliant?
0:36:04 > 0:36:08It's you that's carrying. It's you that's taking the money.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13You look like the bigger dealer than Stapleton.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14Maybe I was.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18HE CHUCKLES That's funny.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Still playing the big man
0:36:21 > 0:36:24when this could get you locked up for the next ten years.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25"Maybe I was."
0:36:25 > 0:36:28You'll have them rolling in the aisles in Strangeways
0:36:28 > 0:36:31cos those fellas on D Wing, they just love a new boy with a sense of humour.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Well, you know, thanks for getting it.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38There's more.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41But I'm hanging on to that.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Just until I'm sure you've straightened yourself out.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- What?- You are going to come and work for me.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50And you're going to do a decent day's graft.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- No chance.- Hey... I've got hours of this stuff at home.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55And I've got absolutely nothing to lose.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57You love Mum, so you wouldn't do it.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00And you love your mum, so you won't take that risk.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02It better be a good job.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04It's a great job. Believe me.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07And very much using your current skill sets.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Right, welcome to the real world.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Right, you know the routine.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Give people the bag. It's 50 pence the small bag.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28£1 the big bag.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Try not to call them wraps and try not to take the money with
0:37:30 > 0:37:32the back of your hand like that, it's a dead giveaway.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Right.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36It's a lot like drug dealing, actually.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40People know there are bad side effects but are too weak to resist.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Make as many jokes as you like. We're not mates.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43No. We're not.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46I'll be back about half five to help you pack up.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53So they just let you go? Just like that?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Nothing on me, have they? No CCTV footage.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00It's disappeared, apparently.
0:38:00 > 0:38:05Really? Well, that's great. And we can reopen.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07I don't think that's going to happen now, is it?
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Not with your security issues.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11That's where you come in, isn't it?
0:38:11 > 0:38:13I think my security days are behind me.
0:38:13 > 0:38:18Bit close for comfort all that. I'm thinking of moving into ownership.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Oh, yeah. Where?
0:38:23 > 0:38:27I was thinking I'd very much like to buy this club.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Yeah, nice try, bud, it's not for sale.
0:38:30 > 0:38:35I'm the only thing standing between you and a plague of Manc gangstas.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38So, it seems to me that you can't open it without me
0:38:38 > 0:38:39but I can open it without you.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Feels like I'm holding all the aces.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46And I think the price will have to reflect your desperation.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48I'm not selling.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50So you're hanging on to a club you can't open.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53Robbo...
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Well, in that case I might have to give the police
0:38:56 > 0:38:58information about the other Manchester bomb.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Your bomb. The one you planted.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04So you'd be dropping yourself in the shit along with us.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07You would think so, wouldn't you?
0:39:07 > 0:39:11But the difference between then and now is the Good Friday Agreement.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16I think you two would go down for fraud
0:39:16 > 0:39:19but I think I might be having tea with Peter Mandelson.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25I look forward to doing business with you.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Do you think he would talk to the police?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35If he finds himself on a sharp enough hook.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39And now the police are after him for dealing.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42So you think we should sell?
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Well, I think we could get some kind of price out of him.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47It's not the market rate, but erm...
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Right. So we don't have any choice.
0:39:49 > 0:39:55Unless we find the CCTV footage. Which you know nothing about.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02- Well, I can see why you didn't want the police getting hold of this. - Yeah.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06But that was before the club was at risk. You know. My club.
0:40:06 > 0:40:07Yeah.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12So now I have to lose everything to protect your steplad?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14If you want to give these to the police
0:40:14 > 0:40:16- I wouldn't blame you. - Why would I want to protect Ryan?
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Because you were in Strangeways when you were his age
0:40:18 > 0:40:20and you know what that means.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24All right. More to the point. Why would you want to protect him?
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Because I'm trying to put things right.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30I think I preferred you when you lied.
0:40:43 > 0:40:44HE KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Have you got a minute?

0:40:49 > 0:40:51I just need to know if there's anything wrong.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53How do you mean?
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Well, we've got a cash flow problem somewhere along the line and
0:40:56 > 0:40:59it's better we know now rather than later if there is something wrong.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01There's nothing wrong.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04We run a far more flexible business model these days.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Is that City talk for not paying our bills?
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Credit lines run in far more adventurous shapes.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13But for those of us who have to pay cash, well, you know.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16If there's anything I can do to help.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19There is one thing, actually, since you ask.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23Could you kindly stop fucking my sister?

0:43:01 > 0:43:04The last time I did this was when you weren't allowed to go

0:43:24 > 0:43:30So, what is it that you want me to do about all this?
0:43:31 > 0:43:34So this is my son, Charlie.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38Er...
0:43:38 > 0:43:46Clare, my...wife, and my daughter Louise, and her husband, Peter,
0:43:46 > 0:43:48and their children, Ella and Harry.
0:43:50 > 0:43:51And this is Scarlet,
0:43:51 > 0:43:55who is the newest addition to the family when she was born.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57She is obviously three now, so, er...
0:43:58 > 0:44:02Now, Edie, any more gentlemen callers
0:44:02 > 0:44:04and people are going to start to talk.
0:44:05 > 0:44:06So who's this?
0:44:18 > 0:44:19Excuse me.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26There. I've done as you asked.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29Now would you tell me in God's name what all that achieved?
0:44:29 > 0:44:31Nothing at all by the looks of it.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33Yeah, quite right. At least we can agree on that.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38All the cover ups. All the lies.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41Does that just cost you nothing?
0:44:41 > 0:44:43Of course it cost me something!
0:44:45 > 0:44:47I lied to my wife every day of her life.
0:44:49 > 0:44:54She died and...I'd never told her the truth about you.
0:44:56 > 0:45:00Don't you think that was tough? Because it was!
0:45:00 > 0:45:02I took my secret and I buried it.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06And I got on with it, not because it was easy.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09It wasn't, but because it was the right thing to do.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15It was like those lads that came back from the war.
0:45:16 > 0:45:20They'd seen terrible things. Done terrible things.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25But they didn't bring that shit back into the family home.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29Now, believe me. My lying hurt me.
0:45:31 > 0:45:36But if all that means that you and me spend the rest of our days
0:45:36 > 0:45:39at each other's throats then none of it was worth it.
0:45:42 > 0:45:43There.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45Now, will that bloody do you?
0:45:47 > 0:45:49Well, it's a start.

0:46:02 > 0:46:03Yeah?
0:46:04 > 0:46:06Well, how long has he been in there?!
0:46:12 > 0:46:14He won't answer!
0:46:15 > 0:46:17Charlie.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Charlie, you have to let me in, son.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22Whatever it is, we can sort it out. I promise.
0:46:32 > 0:46:33I don't know what to do, Dad.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38Well, don't worry, because I do.
0:46:48 > 0:46:54Listen, Charlie, learn from my mistakes. No lying. No covering up.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56Just go in there and tell it straight.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58You're right. Thanks, Dad.
0:46:58 > 0:47:01OK. I'll be in your corner, son.
0:47:08 > 0:47:13I'm going to be honest. And...direct.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18It seems, well not so much seems as is...
0:47:20 > 0:47:25The thing is, I have fallen victim to what Alan Greenspan once termed,
0:47:25 > 0:47:26"irrational exuberance".
0:47:26 > 0:47:28Just tell it straight, Charlie.
0:47:30 > 0:47:36Our...asset acquisition has not,
0:47:36 > 0:47:38I have to admit,
0:47:38 > 0:47:42yielded the anticipated results.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48What Charlie is trying to tell you
0:47:48 > 0:47:51is that we've moved into property development...
0:47:52 > 0:47:54..and have lost our shirts.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57And trousers.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59The buildings we bought were in a conservation area
0:47:59 > 0:48:04so change of use to flats is a non-starter.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
0:48:06 > 0:48:07It's a bit worse than that.
0:48:08 > 0:48:12The cost of purchasing the property was...
0:48:12 > 0:48:16was borrowed against the value of the confectionery company.
0:48:16 > 0:48:20And the value of the property was inflated to include
0:48:20 > 0:48:23change of use, so it was already high.
0:48:23 > 0:48:27So the property wing of the company is in trouble?
0:48:28 > 0:48:30Gone altogether, actually.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32And the factory?
0:48:32 > 0:48:33Yeah... The factory, too.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38So, everything has gone.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40That's one way of looking it.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42Is there another way of looking at it?
0:48:43 > 0:48:50So, you bet everything on property development and lost the bet.
0:48:50 > 0:48:53Well, in fairness, Dad, we all took our eye off the ball so, erm...
0:48:53 > 0:48:56So we've lost...everything?
0:48:57 > 0:49:01Yes. We've lost everything.
0:49:01 > 0:49:04Well, to be correct, you've lost everything. On our behalf.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06I warned you. I said.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08Didn't I? I said.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10You stupid, arrogant prick!
0:49:10 > 0:49:12- Louise. That's enough. - No, it isn't!
0:49:12 > 0:49:14I'm sorry. All right?
0:49:14 > 0:49:16To everybody. I'm sorry.
0:49:16 > 0:49:20No need to apologise to me, kid. I've got other reasons for going bust.
0:49:20 > 0:49:23Well, that's not strictly true.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25They turned down my plans
0:49:25 > 0:49:28because they've already approved other plans for executive flats.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30Your club is bang in the middle of the application.
0:49:30 > 0:49:32They're going to flatten the Boo.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34Are you serious?
0:49:36 > 0:49:39What, demolish it? My club?
0:49:39 > 0:49:41Happy now, Charlie? You've even screwed Uncle Robbo.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Like you've never done anything wrong!
0:49:43 > 0:49:44Not like this, I haven't.
0:49:44 > 0:49:46Don't make me say it, Louise. Don't push me.
0:49:46 > 0:49:49Charlie, don't even go there. It's none of your business.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52Has anybody got any idea what he's on about? Louise? Peter?
0:49:56 > 0:49:57What?
0:49:58 > 0:50:00To quote Robin Cook when his wife was crying
0:50:00 > 0:50:03because her horse had died,
0:50:03 > 0:50:04"As you're upset already,
0:50:04 > 0:50:07"I need to tell you that I'm having an affair."
0:50:10 > 0:50:11Sorry, I don't get it.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13I'm having an affair. Peter and I are splitting up.
0:50:13 > 0:50:17- It's going to be in the papers in the morning. - What? Is this true?- Yeah.
0:50:17 > 0:50:18Peter?
0:50:18 > 0:50:20Does that make you feel better about yourself, Charlie!
0:50:20 > 0:50:22ALL SHOUT AT ONCE
0:50:22 > 0:50:24This isn't really the time...
0:50:24 > 0:50:29OK! OK! All right! Quiet! Shut up!
0:50:29 > 0:50:31Listen! Everybody just listen!
0:50:33 > 0:50:35We might be broke.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38But Charlie isn't the only one who has done something wrong, is he?
0:50:38 > 0:50:41I mean, we've all messed up.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44But we're here, in the same room, talking to each other.
0:50:44 > 0:50:45Shouting, more like.
0:50:45 > 0:50:46Well, yes. Shouting maybe.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50But at least we're here.
0:50:50 > 0:50:54And I, for one, would rather be in a family of...honest fuck ups
0:50:54 > 0:50:56than a family of lying high achievers.
0:50:59 > 0:51:03- Sorry, where was I going with this again? - You were heading to a silver lining.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06Right. Yes. Right. We're not the Waltons. I know that.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11But we're here. For each other.
0:51:13 > 0:51:17Every one of us has lied. Every single one of us.
0:51:17 > 0:51:21I've lied. Dad has lied. Robbo has lied. Charlie has lied.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23Louise has lied. Every one of us.
0:51:25 > 0:51:26I haven't lied.
0:51:26 > 0:51:29Well, no. No, not you, Peter, maybe.
0:51:29 > 0:51:31- Neither have I, come to think of it. - Just go with this, will you?
0:51:33 > 0:51:36Most of us have lied.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41And most of us have kept up appearances.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45And I've done it more than most.
0:51:47 > 0:51:49And it cost me.
0:51:51 > 0:51:52And it cost the people I love.
0:51:54 > 0:51:58Right, but not any more. Not any more.
0:52:01 > 0:52:07And maybe, if I'm honest, and Dad's honest, and we're all honest...
0:52:10 > 0:52:12Then maybe this is the start of something.
0:52:14 > 0:52:16Something good.
0:52:19 > 0:52:20Maybe?
0:52:23 > 0:52:26Are you sure about what you told me, Charlie? About my club?
0:52:28 > 0:52:29Yeah, I'm sorry.
0:52:29 > 0:52:36Don't be sorry, mate. Compulsory purchase job. Market price.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38I'm out of the woods. Nice one.
0:52:40 > 0:52:43Oh, that bomb is the gift that just keeps on giving!
0:53:14 > 0:53:18That was nice. What you said.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20What you tried to say. Whatever it meant.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26Thanks.
0:53:28 > 0:53:31It was hardly, "I have a dream", you know, but, erm...
0:53:33 > 0:53:36We can sort this all out, you know.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39The money stuff, at least.
0:53:39 > 0:53:40Can we?
0:53:40 > 0:53:41I think we can.
0:53:43 > 0:53:45I've got an idea.
0:53:49 > 0:53:50'Claire remortgaged the house
0:53:50 > 0:53:55'and set about turning Cottons back into what it was good at.

0:54:12 > 0:54:15'Louise and Newell finally got married in a low key ceremony

0:54:36 > 0:54:39'spending most of his time destroying opium crops.
0:54:41 > 0:54:43'And Charlie made a fortune in something called
0:54:43 > 0:54:48'"collateralised debt obligations" - he didn't understand it either.
0:54:52 > 0:54:54'Edie passed away in her sleep.

0:55:17 > 0:55:19Hello.
0:55:20 > 0:55:21Present for you.
0:55:24 > 0:55:25It's the diary.
0:55:26 > 0:55:29Remember when I was in hospital
0:55:29 > 0:55:32and you asked me to go back and write everything down?
0:55:33 > 0:55:35I didn't think you'd actually do it.
0:55:35 > 0:55:38I only asked you to do it because it was the worst thing I could think of.
0:55:38 > 0:55:40Yeah, well, I did it.
0:55:40 > 0:55:44Look, you don't have to read it, you know, if it's too painful.
0:55:44 > 0:55:46No, no. I will...
0:55:48 > 0:55:49It starts with the bomb.
0:55:49 > 0:55:51Of course it does.
0:55:51 > 0:55:52And it's all true.
0:55:52 > 0:55:53That'll make a change.
0:55:58 > 0:56:00Have you written about the bit where you reach down inside me
0:56:00 > 0:56:01and rip out my heart?
0:56:06 > 0:56:08Is that what I did?
0:56:13 > 0:56:14Yeah, that's what you did.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19Didn't you know?
0:56:29 > 0:56:30So...
0:56:32 > 0:56:33How does it end?
0:56:38 > 0:56:39I don't know yet.
0:57:35 > 0:57:40Robbo says that, from time to time,

0:57:45 > 0:57:47cause good shit to happen.
0:57:48 > 0:57:51Well, if that's your attempt at a kiss and make up speech,
0:57:51 > 0:57:53you're going to have to work harder than that.
0:57:56 > 0:57:57Right.
0:57:58 > 0:58:00I'll try.
0:58:01 > 0:58:04# Above there are no stars tonight
0:58:04 > 0:58:05# Just northern skies
0:58:05 > 0:58:08# Reflected light upon your face
0:58:12 > 0:58:14# Some people think stars rule our lives
0:58:14 > 0:58:16# Some people they think otherwise
0:58:16 > 0:58:19# They can be replaced
0:58:21 > 0:58:25# Where did you go on that big black night?
0:58:26 > 0:58:31# Did you take the coast road back through your life?
0:58:31 > 0:58:34# See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light
0:58:34 > 0:58:37# And say, well, they'll do all right for me?
0:58:42 > 0:58:45# We shroud our lives in mysteries
0:58:45 > 0:58:48# Shooting stars and storming seas if we
