00:00I know, it's a lot to take in and you are angry.
00:28Angry? Angry? Do you even live on this planet or what?
00:32You watched our son walk round in bits not knowing where Shireen went.
00:36People thinking that he killed her and all along it was you.
00:39No, it wasn't me. It was Benji, all right?
00:42I paid him to scare her off and apparently things got out of hand.
00:46And if we don't do something, Teddy, I am finished.
00:51Look, do you remember that diamond bracelet you bought me
00:55for our 10th anniversary? I thought I'd lost it, right?
00:58Well, he took it and he buried it with her
01:01so that if they ever found the body or I gave him up, we'd both go down.
01:05No, you're a liar because you know what Benji does
01:08and you could have got anybody else.
01:10So either you went too far yourself or you told him to do it.
01:14See, I know you, Dick. So you tell me the truth right now.
01:26You doing a bit of window shopping there, Coach?
01:29She has kind eyes.
01:31Yeah, mate, she's got a lovely set of eyes here.
01:34I had a friend back at home from church, Morley Foy.
01:39She had kind eyes. I never really talked to her.
01:43It's hard. They say women are from Venus.
01:47Yes, they are, Coach.
01:50But luckily for you, I'm making you my co-pilot.
01:53Now, I promised you flying lessons but tonight
01:56I'm going to teach you how to land, son.
01:58Do you know what I mean?
02:00Hey, here he is. A man who can land.
02:03Where's the missus?
02:05Well, where's mum and dad? They should be here by now.
02:07Relax, bye.
02:08You know mum likes to make an entrance.
02:10Yeah, but shouldn't we check with dad
02:12to make sure mum hasn't had a second tour?
02:14Marnie, stop worrying, all right?
02:16Probably starting our own little party first.
02:18Do you know what I mean?
02:20Do you know what I mean, Marnie?
02:21Oh!
02:22Nobody knows what you mean, Billy.
02:25What I know is, my glass is empty.
02:27Yes, yummy honey. Bill, get her a drink.
02:29We're celebrating.
02:31It's lemonade for you two.
02:33Just need me a share. You've got my name above the door.
02:35Mmm.
02:36Come on then.
02:41I've known girls like her all my life.
02:43I knew what she was up to.
02:46I wanted her out of our lives but I did not want this.
02:51I am a lot of things.
02:54Like stupid, jealous.
02:57But I did not want that girl dead.
03:01I'm not a monster.
03:03I don't know who you are.
03:08And maybe I never did.
03:10But what I do know is my son deserves to know the truth.
03:14No!
03:15Teddy!
03:16What are you looking at?
03:17What are you looking at?
03:18I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.
03:32Oh, gracious Lord.
03:33Do you know why?
03:34We should have just checked if I bring all of them.
03:35Everybody loves it.
03:36Oh!
03:37If I don't need a guest, we'd have bought extra.
03:38I thought you were studying for your GSSEs.
03:39Allow me to introduce us all.
03:40You've got the protein-fuelled protective dad.
03:41Lesbian and her wife.
03:42And me.
03:43Mum, best friend and primary caregiver.
03:44And you are?
03:45I'm Joel.
03:46Oh, Joel!
03:47Joel, that's a lovely name, isn't it?
03:48Hello, Joel.
03:49Let's go because this will only get worse.
03:50No, no, no, don't go on our account.
03:51There's plenty for everybody.
03:52Ah, it's OK.
03:53Thank you, though.
03:54Are you sure?
03:55Yeah, we were going to get some ice cream, so...
03:56Yeah.
03:57It was lovely to meet you, well, anyway.
03:58Yeah.
03:59Lovely to meet you, Joel.
04:00Yeah, bye.
04:01All right.
04:02I'll be, like, two minutes.
04:03He's handsome.
04:04What's his dad saying? Divorce?
04:05A widow?
04:06Just be careful, yeah?
04:07Let us know where you are.
04:08Yeah, I will.
04:09Thanks.
04:10Don't mind your dad.
04:11He's just worried you've got the same time.
04:12And you are?
04:13And you are?
04:14I'm Joel.
04:15Joel?
04:16Joel?
04:17Joel?
04:18Joel?
04:19Joel?
04:20Joel?
04:21Joel?
04:22Joel?
04:23Joel?
04:24Joel?
04:25Well, it's the best place in men as your mum.
04:26Go on.
04:27Enjoy yourself.
04:28Have fun.
04:29You deserve it.
04:31Bye.
04:36She's a tough kid.
04:38She'll be all right.
04:48Just, just think about this one.
04:50If they find that bracelet...
04:52I am done thinking and I am done talking now.
04:54Get off me.
04:55Chuck in.
04:56Has he ever been happier?
04:57He's not in trouble.
04:58He's not up to no good.
04:59He is happy.
05:00He's working at the Archers.
05:01He's got us.
05:02He's got friends.
05:03He's got this place.
05:04You tell him.
05:05And all of that goes away.
05:06He'll go off the rails like he just did.
05:07And if he finds out the truth, God knows what he'll do.
05:11I will lose him, you both will.
05:12He will hit rock bottom.
05:13Is that what you want?
05:14Is that what you want?
05:15Yeah, look.
05:16There she is.
05:17Yay!
05:18Happy birthday, man.
05:19You feeling all right?
05:20Yeah.
05:21Yeah.
05:22Yeah, of course.
05:23Will you just give me a minute?
05:24Let's get this party started, eh?
05:25Come on, let's get you a drink.
05:26Come on, come on!
05:27That's for you.
05:29Happy birthday, man.
05:30Happy birthday, man.
05:33You feeling all right?
05:35Yeah.
05:37Yeah, of course.
05:38Will you just give me a minute?
05:39Let's get this party started, eh?
05:40Come on, let's get you a drink!
05:41Come on!
05:42Let's get this party started.
05:44Come on, let's get you a drink.
05:46Come on.
05:50So, they're just going to let it go.
05:54No review, nothing. Jack just got a call.
05:56All he knows is they ain't going to take it any further.
05:58Do you know what?
06:00I'm going to go down to the station. I ain't having this.
06:02Oh, and you can get arrested. How's that going to help?
06:04Ravi? She's right, Priya.
06:06Look, we'll sit her down and talk to her.
06:08We ain't going to tell her.
06:10It already took way too much for her to come forward.
06:12She's doing so well.
06:14To find out it's all for nothing.
06:16No, we ain't going to do that to her. Not yet.
06:18We'll just...
06:20We'll just say they're dragging their feet. These complaints, they take time.
06:22And what about Amy? What if she finds out from Jack and tells Avani?
06:25It'll break her.
06:26We can't risk that.
06:28She needs to know.
06:30She's my daughter and I know what's best for her,
06:32so leave it to me, yeah?
06:40Look, I know you're angry, okay? But this is the right call.
06:50I didn't do it for you, so save the crocodile tears, yeah?
06:53You don't think I'm upset?
06:55You're upset because you're going to get caught, that's all.
06:57How can you say that? Everything I do is...
07:00Point the other one, Nick. You only care about yourself. You always have.
07:03Now we're all going to suffer.
07:05We can fix this.
07:06We?
07:07We?
07:08Do me a favour?
07:09Do you want to see me go back to prison for something I didn't do?
07:12This is Benji's mess.
07:15He killed her.
07:18Well, if it was him,
07:20he has dug holes for every villain from Dagenham to Dartford.
07:23He's untouchable.
07:24So you tell me,
07:26how are we going to fix this, eh?
07:30Pack a bag and run.
07:33Because tomorrow, work starts on Paradise Park.
07:36I can't hold it off.
07:37And they'll find that bracelet.
07:39And that's your lot, Nick.
07:41And sooner or later,
07:43Harry's going to find out the truth.
07:50Bad time?
07:51No, of course not, boys.
07:52It's just your mum.
07:53She's had one too many to drink.
07:55She's going on.
07:56Yeah, yeah.
07:57I'm old enough to know not to mix them now.
08:00I'll...
08:02I'll, um...
08:03I'll see you at home, yeah?
08:09He's terrible!
08:15Cheer up, party girl.
08:17Once you get to my age,
08:19the candles will cost more than a cake.
08:21Oh, please yourself.
08:25Joanie,
08:26get us a couple of them sparkly things, will ya?
08:28Make it snappy.
08:32If this is about Avani, then I'm not the best...
08:34She made a complaint.
08:35And they're not taking it any further.
08:37I'm not sure if your dad told ya,
08:39or if he's gonna tell ya,
08:40but I'm telling ya,
08:41and I need you to keep it quiet.
08:42Well, we're not even speaking.
08:44And she's gonna find out at some point.
08:46Yeah, when the time's right, I'll tell her, okay?
08:48But she's not now.
08:49She's not ready.
08:54She was so brave coming forward.
08:56Okay?
08:57I just...
08:58I don't want her thinking it was all for nothing.
09:00If she keeps on getting stronger and...
09:03and happier for as long as she can,
09:05then maybe when she does find out,
09:07she'll realise that stepping forward was worth it all along.
09:11Look, I...
09:13I know you two have drifted apart.
09:16But she could really do with having her best friend back.
09:19Huh?
09:20Now more than ever.
09:25Okay, fine.
09:26I won't say anything.
09:28Is there anything else you can do,
09:29or is this the end of it now?
09:30Ha!
09:31This ain't the end.
09:32Not by a long shot.
09:33I think I underestimated just how cold it is, eh?
09:34I can obviously be melting by now.
09:35Yeah, well, I guess what we lack in heat,
09:36we make up for with the luck of spiders that can kill you, right?
09:37Yeah.
09:39You know, meeting your family earlier, that was nice.
09:40I think I was just the right amount of intimidating.
09:42Are you okay?
09:43Yeah.
09:44Yeah.
09:45Yeah, it's just the right amount of intimidating.
09:46Are you okay?
09:47Yeah.
09:48Yeah.
09:49Yeah, it's just nice to get out of the house sometimes, you know?
09:52Don't know, there's not a lot of room to breathe with them, like...
09:55I mean, it's all out of love, don't get me wrong, but still.
09:57Yeah, nah, I know exactly how you feel.
10:01Like, since I've been here, it's like...
10:04It's been hard.
10:05I mean, it's all out of love, don't get me wrong, but...
10:08Yeah, nah, I know exactly how you feel.
10:11Like, since I've been here, it's like, it's been hard.
10:17It's been hard.
10:18Like, I'm stuck between being beneath my dad's feet and meeting new people, you know?
10:26But luckily you've made it easier for me.
10:34I'll use that.
10:35Someone trying to steal you away from me.
10:37Something like that.
10:39Yeah, to be continued, yeah?
10:47Yeah.
11:06Mum?
11:10Where are you going?
11:11Hello, darling.
11:13Cup of char.
11:14Builders.
11:15No sugar.
11:16Sweet enough.
11:17Offs.
11:19Oh.
11:20And if you have any spare cucumber slices, would you bring them over to the panda here?
11:25I'm sorry, darling, but no gorgeous gay grandson of mine is gonna have dark rings like that.
11:31Now, I am hoping that it's because you were up all night with Felix.
11:36But if you tell me you were working late, I shall be mortified.
11:40Leave it out, Grandma.
11:41I've seen the way you look at him.
11:43And if you spend any more time at the Albert, Cathy is gonna start charging you rent.
11:48I like him.
11:51But I think that he's up for something a bit more casual.
11:56Well, of course he is.
11:57A young man at a boy buffet is gonna wanna try the whole spread.
12:01And you've had a plate or two in your time.
12:03Yeah, but...
12:05I don't know.
12:06I just think I'm not really one for buffets anymore.
12:10And there I was, thinking you were a free spirit like me.
12:14But no.
12:16You're a hopeless romantic like your mum.
12:19You want my advice?
12:20I am gonna get it anyway.
12:22Oh, absolutely.
12:23If you really like him.
12:26And he still likes a buffet.
12:29Well, then you've gotta serve him a plate that will keep him sitting at your table.
12:36Right, coach.
12:37It's all about the eyes.
12:38Yeah?
12:39Lucky for you, eyes is my go-to opener.
12:41And why is that?
12:42Because they're the window to dissolve.
12:44And?
12:45And it makes them feel that you're not just looking at their other areas.
12:49Exactly.
12:50Now remember, shoulders back.
12:52Watch and learn.
12:56Sorry to interrupt, girls.
12:58But I think I'm lost.
13:00I'm lost in your eyes.
13:02I ain't never seen brown eyes like it.
13:04How about I buy you a drink?
13:05And then I could just stare in till the morning.
13:07I've watched them all night.
13:12Remember me?
13:19You were staring into my blue eyes last month.
13:22And all night.
13:23Then ghosted me.
13:25So do one.
13:26Yeah?
13:27I think there were more hazel, mate.
13:32I think there were more hazel, mate.
13:33Yeah.
13:48I need to talk to your superior.
13:50Right now.
13:51Elvis.
13:52What am I going to do with 25 Parkers?
13:53It'll be summer soon.
13:54Hmm?
13:55Oh, an Oasis reunion.
13:56OK.
13:57I'll take them.
13:58Bye.
13:59Al and Pace don't look too clever.
14:00All right, Ted.
14:01I just finished our thriller off to the chippy.
14:02How's the party going?
14:03Is it Nicola's birthday, isn't it?
14:04Yeah.
14:05Yeah, it is.
14:06I watch his missus slip out.
14:07I'm not surprised.
14:08I'm not surprised.
14:09I'm not surprised.
14:10I'm not surprised.
14:11I'm not surprised.
14:12What am I going to do with 25 Parkers?
14:13What am I going to do with 25 Parkers?
14:14It'll be summer soon.
14:15Oh, an Oasis reunion.
14:16OK.
14:17I'll take them.
14:18Bye.
14:19Al and Pace don't look too clever.
14:20All right, Ted.
14:21I just finished our thriller off to the chippy.
14:22How's the party going?
14:23Nicola's birthday, isn't it?
14:24Yeah.
14:29I've been to livelier wakes.
14:31I reckon you should start going for a brunette.
14:34Well, don't worry.
14:35If that's one blonde, I wouldn't bet on seeing again.
14:38You know what I'm saying?
14:39I'll take that bet.
14:50I hope this is important enough for me to ditch a fit boy for.
14:53I miss you.
14:58You must have missed my messages, too, then.
15:00I'm sorry, all right?
15:01You're my mate and I care, you know?
15:03And I don't want you getting in trouble hanging out with drug dealers and...
15:06Oh, look, I know.
15:07All of that stuff, that won't happen again.
15:09Good.
15:10I miss you, too.
15:13Telling me I'm an idiot and all of that stuff.
15:17Even though it annoys me, you're right most of the time.
15:21Are you going to sit down, then?
15:24How about she missed you?
15:25I'm sorry.
15:26The thing is, Coach, with women, it's like being up front.
15:27Being honest.
15:28No, never that.
15:29I mean, like, playing up front.
15:30In football, yeah?
15:31You miss your chances, but you never let your head drop.
15:33Because it's all about being in the position to miss them chances.
15:40Do you know what I mean?
15:41No.
15:42All right.
15:43Sorry, I just had to walk around here.
15:44She was feeling a bit prosecco.
15:45Because she's dropped prosecco.
15:46And when you're drunk, you vomit.
15:47Yes.
15:48That makes sense.
15:49You didn't.
15:50You didn't.
15:51I wish Mum dead.
15:52They've had another route.
15:53Barnes worried, but they'll be fine tomorrow as part.
15:58Has it been raining in here or what?
15:59No.
16:00I wish Mum dead.
16:01They've had another route.
16:02Barnes worried, but they'll be fine tomorrow as part.
16:04Has it been raining in here or what?
16:05No.
16:06A woman who Harry had sex with, he didn't call back a food drink at his face.
16:24Oh, so handsome Harry ain't exactly God's gift, then, is he?
16:30Compared to you, I am.
16:31Really?
16:32Really?
16:33Really?
16:34Really?
16:35You see, the thing is, Oates, right?
16:37I am married to a proper sort.
16:41Whereas you are single and soaked.
16:45Fine.
16:46How about this?
16:48You show me any bird in this bar and I'll show you how it's done.
16:52All right.
16:54Come on.
16:59Gina.
17:03What are you doing here?
17:16You all right, Bond?
17:18Mum's gone.
17:20You know that already, right?
17:22What's she do this time?
17:24She just, er, she got it wrong.
17:29Again.
17:33Sometimes people do.
17:34Her more than anyone.
17:40I'm sorry, mate.
17:41Really, I am.
17:43But it don't mean that she doesn't love you.
17:45Do you love her?
17:46Do you love her?
17:52I told Ivani I didn't do social media.
17:55So obviously she'd sign me up for everything.
17:58Got me following all these people I know I'd hate if I ever met them in real life.
18:02But her.
18:03Her.
18:04He's full of stupid people acting like you could learn from them.
18:09This morning she reposted a quote.
18:12Love doesn't hurt.
18:14Loving a wrong person does.
18:17And I thought, well, he's a cliche, but he's true, right?
18:22We can't help it we love.
18:27Even when it hurts.
18:43Miss Nandra Hart?
18:44Oh, so you haven't forgotten about me then, yeah?
18:46I take it you've been informed of the decision to...
18:49Yeah, I have.
18:50So I'm here to make another complaint on top of my daughter's complaint.
18:53You know the one you dropped?
18:54Miss Nandra Hart, I don't think this is...
18:56No, you don't think.
18:57In fact, none of you lot do.
18:58I actually think it's part of the job description.
19:00Do you have any idea what it took for her to come forward?
19:03How hard it was for her?
19:04She hated me for coming to you lot, and now she's gonna hate me all over again.
19:07Would you like to go to my private?
19:09We can talk about it.
19:10So you can make me take my clothes off too, yeah?
19:12I think you need to calm down.
19:13Oh, please, babe.
19:14If I wasn't calm, you'd know about it.
19:15And I want everyone to know,
19:17the police street search teenage girls,
19:20and they think it's absolutely fine.
19:22Enough. Enough.
19:23You might not like it, Priya,
19:25but the complaint wasn't upheld
19:26because the process was carried out in the correct way.
19:29We're just doing our jobs, Priya.
19:31So why don't you go home and do your job as a mum,
19:34or I'll have to do mine and throw you in the cell for the night.
19:36It's your choice.
19:43I mean, Joel's not my usual type,
19:44but being fit is my type, I suppose.
19:47You're gonna end up with Barney.
19:48I've seen this film before.
19:49No.
19:50Absolutely not.
19:51We're just friends.
19:52I'm pretty sure he's more interested in books than girls anyways.
19:55That's true.
19:56He does love a book.
19:57And he does love a book.
19:59How's it been at home?
20:02You know, with everything.
20:05Yeah, they've been all right, to be fair.
20:08Like, Mum especially,
20:09since I put the complaint in.
20:11I think they're proud of me.
20:14I mean, I'm kind of proud of myself too.
20:18I just hope that something good comes of this
20:21so that nobody else has to go through it.
20:24Dad always says there's too much red tape.
20:27They go by the book.
20:29But whatever happens,
20:31you should be proud of yourself.
20:33You're right.
20:35Has your dad said anything to you about it?
20:38No.
20:39Amy, why do I get the feeling this is like a pity make-up?
20:43What are you on about?
20:44Amy, you literally have the worst poker face in the world.
20:47If you know something, then tell me, please.
20:52Look, Amy, if you want to be a mate, then be a mate.
20:56I'll take you back.
21:08All right, Johnny boy.
21:10Where are you going?
21:12Oh, nowhere. I was just, um...
21:14I wanted to talk to you, but, er...
21:16I can see you're busy. Sorry.
21:18Please, I'm working them drips with hooks. What's up?
21:22Er...
21:23Well, I was wondering if...
21:25Er...
21:26You...
21:27You wanted to, like...
21:30Finish my shift early and go get smashed somewhere?
21:33I'm good, aren't I?
21:35Give me ten minutes.
21:37Hey.
21:53Nick?
21:55Nicola?
21:56You had a good night?
21:57No.
21:58No.
21:59No.
22:00No.
22:01No.
22:02No.
22:03No.
22:04No.
22:05No.
22:06No.
22:07No.
22:08No.
22:09No.
22:10No.
22:11No.
22:12No.
22:13No.
22:14No.
22:15No.
22:16No.
22:17No.
22:18No.
22:19No.
22:20No.
22:21No.
22:22No.
22:23No.
22:24No.
22:25No.
22:26No.
22:27No.
22:28No.
22:29No.
22:30No.
22:31No.
22:32No.
22:33No.
22:34No.
22:35No.
22:36No.
22:37Or maybe they're Hazel.
22:40I don't know, they might be Hazel.
22:43Or we'll probably need to get the lights changing here or something.
22:47You know that you tried that on me in the vehicle already.
22:50And I preferred it more then.
22:53You're going to have to do better than that.
22:56Yeah, but I can try it again, though, right?
23:04What is wrong with you, Priya?
23:05I thought you wanted to keep this quiet.
23:07How is causing the scene down there going to help?
23:09I don't know. I had to do something.
23:11Oh, you had to do something.
23:12OK, bar go round to Amy. What did you do? Threaten her?
23:15Oh, no, of course I didn't threaten her.
23:16I just told her to be quiet and she will.
23:18All right, that's enough.
23:19OK, let's just hope this doesn't blow up in our faces.
23:26How long was you going to lie to me for?
23:28Amy told me.
23:29You told her before you told me.
23:32What did she even do anyway?
23:33What, go round there and make her feel sorry for me or something?
23:36No, no, no, of course I didn't.
23:37I was just trying to protect you, OK?
23:39What, by lying to me?
23:40By literally going behind my back?
23:42Mum, all my life you've treated me like a kid until it suited you.
23:45Until I needed to lie for you.
23:47Or follow you round the shoulders while you were nicking things.
23:49Or how about the times that I would stay up all night...
23:51OK, OK, Avali.
23:52...to let you back in from the pub.
23:53And now you want to shield me!
23:54OK, Avali!
23:55Look, she's sorry, all right?
23:57We all are.
23:59But what happened to you, this is not your mum's fault.
24:02Yeah?
24:03You did a good thing and we are all proud of you...
24:07I didn't do anything, though, did I, Dad?
24:09I didn't!
24:10The least you could have all done was be honest with me!
24:13Be straight with me!
24:14Look, I'm just done with this!
24:15I'm done with all of you!
24:17I'm done with you!
24:47It seems that God doesn't pay Dex with money, eh?
25:11The first time Harry brought you home, I could see it written all over his face.
25:23You had him in the palm of your hand.
25:29Even when you were fighting like cats and dogs, you had him.
25:35You were going to break his heart and I ended up doing it for you.
25:41Maybe it was too much like looking in a mirror for me.
25:46You were going to ruin Harry's life.
25:52And you knew too much sooner or later.
25:58You would have told Teddy that Barney wasn't his.
26:03You know, out of spite or anger or...
26:08Maybe out of the goodness of your heart, but...
26:11I couldn't let that happen.
26:17You would have broken us.
26:20It wasn't perfect, but it was working.
26:24Without you, Harry was happy.
26:27So I would do it all again.
26:29For the sake of my family.
26:35Nick!
26:38Nick!
26:39Are you mad or stupid?
26:41No, I'm desperate, Ted.
26:42I can't lose you all again.
26:44I can't.
26:45No, no, listen.
26:46Listen to me.
26:47Listen.
26:47Listen to me!
26:49If we are going to fix this, you need to do exactly what I tell you to do.
26:53OK?
26:59It's all right.
26:59It's all right.
27:01It's all right.
27:01It's all right.
27:10Investigating the increase in Israeli settlements on the West Bank, Louis Theroux meets the settlers.
