I'm not saying it is definitive, no.

But given the newly-appointed PM's previous hardline stance and comments,

it seems plausible we'll see far stricter provisions for law and order

implemented sooner rather than later.

More on that in a moment. However, some breaking news just in.

We're receiving word that the terrorist Ryan McGregor,

otherwise known as The Detonator of Demwa, has died.

This is breaking news just coming in, so details are scarce at the moment.

We will bring you more updates as soon as we can.

Mama, are you OK?

...a guilty plea would in fact influence the verdict.

But the news that McGregor has died in prison

will send shock waves across the Nought community in Albion.

We do not know the cause of his death and we will share more...

- I have to go. - I know.

I saw the news about Ryan.

I'll call Segun.

I can't believe they've put me on hold!

Well, it can't be true.

Not your baba, no way.

Would not serve any purpose but revenge.

Turn it off! Turn it off!

Besides, they would've... they would've told us if it were.

The police, the prison service, someone would've...

someone would've told us!

Mama... Please. Look...

- I'm gonna find out what's going on. - Yeah. Yeah.

- Meggie, I'm so sorry. - I need to see him.

Mama's doing all she can to contact Segun Okoro, so...

No, I need to see him. I'm going to the prison.

Then I'm coming with you.

- I can give you a lift. - Nah, you've done enough.

He killed himself? How?

All I can tell you is his body was found last night in his cell

and was then moved to the prison morgue.

When can we see him? His body.

Once I'm notified, I'll be sure to let you know.

So, what, do we just have to wait?

Pele o. I understand how upsetting this must be.

No, you really don't.

My baba's dead. And nobody told us.

My mother had to find out from the news. And now you say it's suicide?

But you can't tell me how or why?

I really wish I could help you more.

So, we can't see him?

No?

Callum!

He's gone, Sephy. He's really gone.

He killed himself.

- I'm so sorry. - How could they let this happen?

Why didn't anyone stop him?

- They won't even let us see him. - Where are you?

- I'm coming over. - No, no, I just...

God...

I just need some time with my family.

I've got to go.

Hm, Tavi...

Just...

Could you just wait here for me?

I don't care if Segun's on a flight to Aprica.

Patch me through to the pilot! I'm paying this for...

- What are you doing? - Please, Jasmine.

Tell me you haven't funded the defence of a convicted terrorist

using an account in my name.

So, I was helping a friend. I was helping Meggie!

Have you any idea what this will do to me, to us, if it leaked?

What was I supposed to do, just sit back and do nothing?

She was desperate.

I see.

You wanted to make amends... for firing her in the first place.

- Your friend. - I...

I know, it must've felt horrible, darling. But you can't blame yourself.

You weren't to know what Ryan's response would be.

All those lives lost.

I mean, that level of...

emotion, guilt, it's easy for any of us to lose our heads.

And that's all this was, wasn't it?

So, now this...

this enterprise with Segun Okoro and Meggie ends now...

and we'll speak no more about it.

Good. Because we have a country to run.

And we wouldn't want me to be impeached before I'm even inaugurated, would we?

Hey...

Callum...

You know he'd never want this...

this fury you're feeling to consume you, don't you?

Turn and send you down a path to which there's no return.

Don't you?

Because doing something stupid, like joining the LM,

leads to nothing but a life of misery and death.

I'm not afraid of dying.

Well, you should be.

Not if the cause is right.

They will not be forgotten.

Ryan McGregor died a hero.

So, you're back, then.

I've been laying low, but...

yeah, we're back.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey... Hey!

This is where it all started.

Danny's death.

And it's all my fault.

Don't! Don't tear yourself up over this.

The fight we're involved in is bigger than Danny, me, you, or anyone.

Understand?

Even your father. No-one knew that better than him.

It's probably why the government silenced him. Not you.

What do you mean?

You'll figure it out. And when you do...

call me on the number saved on this.

We can't let them get away with it.

Any of it.

McGregor, the coward.

Baba said they should've brought back burning for him.

Hey! Don't talk about things you can't understand.

And what's it to you, Persephone?

What, just because your baba's about to run the country,

- you think you get to run this place. - I mean it!

- Keep his name out of your mouth. - Or what?

Fighting! Suspension!

This isn't the Sephy I know. It certainly isn't the Sephy I raised.

Look at you.

The day before my inauguration, too. You promised me you'd make an effort.

You promised Callum wouldn't get hurt. Now his father's dead.

I am not responsible

for the atrocious act Ryan McGregor committed.

Neither are you.

While it's unfortunate, the situation his family finds themselves in, again,

certainly isn't worth jeopardising your entire future over, now, is it?

For friendship, love... Yeah, I'd say so.

- Love? - Yes.

For Meggie.

- After all, she did help raise me, too. - That was her job.

A job she was paid well for. You don't owe her anything.

All she wants to do is to see her husband.

- To say goodbye. - Prisons have their protocol.

- You're in no position to make demands. - I'm not.

But you are, as Prime Minister.

All the more reason for me not to interfere.

Please, Baba... It's not just for Meggie.

- No? - No.

This way, I can concentrate on school.

- My future. - Your future...

Have you heard anything from Okene-Aprica University?

No, not yet. So, will you?

I'll see what I can do.

What's the most obvious reason why they won't allow us to see his body?

Think about it.

- I don't want to. - Nah, of course you don't.

Cos it's easier for you to sit there and drink in their lies.

Are you seriously gonna tell me that he killed himself?

They killed him. Deliberately.

It's what they do. It's what they have always done.

And if you can't see that, then you're properly blind.

But you would say that, wouldn't you,

because it negates any guilt you may have?

Guilt that you put him there in the first place.

Guilt that you had a role in his death, just like you fucking did Danny's!

That's it, blame me!

Blame me and everyone but the people that murdered him!

You know, since you've always aspired to walk like them and talk like them

-and even screw them. -You fucking...!

Come on, then! Come on!

Stop it! Stop it!

- Stop it, Callum! - I'll kill you!

Enough! Just enough! Just....

That anger you're feeling now, Cal, you hold on to it.

Cos it's one of the only things you'll soon have left.

- Shut up! - You hold on to it.

I said, shut up!

I don't know what to say. Please, Callum...

Talk to me.

- Maybe it'll help. - Yeah, why? Will it bring him back?

- No, of course not. - So, then, what help is it?

- It's OK to be angry. - No. Don't do that.

Don't give me permission.

Fuck...

What if Jude's right?

What if all this time it's me who's been blind?

- I don't understand. - They say his death was suicide.

What is it? What is it you're saying?

What if he was murdered?

Think about it. Why else won't they let us see his body?

- Jude says. - Whoa...

- Not Jude. - What?

The one who planted the bomb that murdered three people,

the bomb that nearly killed me,

that meant your father took the rap for it.

- That Jude? - Yes!

That Jude! My brother, Jude!

And why are you so suddenly upset?

Cos you don't see how what you're implying affects me.

- Callum, my baba. - Yes, but what if it's true?

- It isn't. - But what if it is?

Where have you been? You're late.

Nowhere. And I'm actually bang on time, so...

You're up to something.

No, I'm not.

It's OK, I won't tell.

You are feeling guilty.

It's Lekan, isn't it? You think I stole him from you, don't you?

You know what? Do what you want.

Like you, you mean? You think I'm selfish?

Why don't you try looking in the mirror for once?

Maybe you'd see you're not Baba's favourite any more.

Her Excellency, the President of Aprica...

has asked me to form a new government.

And I have accepted.

In Opal Folami...

I follow in the footsteps of a great modern Prime Minster.

I came into politics because I love this country.

That is why I would be doing a great disservice to you all

if I didn't urge you to heed a warning.

Financial security means nothing...

if we are not safe in our homes or on our streets.

Public safety is of paramount importance.

In implementing tighter security controls and checks,

we will actually be providing greater freedom.

For social stability is in the very fabric of...

We must work to quell the unrest.

That will be the primary mission of the government I lead.

And together, I assure you...

we will build a greater Albion.

Sephy...!

I just... I can't let it go.

Sephy, will you please stop making me run after you?

Wait!

So, I just need to know... why?

Why him? Because I... I don't get it at all.

That's exactly the problem.

There she is.

- There you go, babe. - Thank you.

- To new beginnings. - To new beginnings.

You look nice.

I'm so sorry.

With Ryan...

you had something others go their whole lives without.

Not even death can stop that kind of love.

Do you think that's what Sephy and Callum have found?

I think it might be.

Then I'm truly happy for them.

And extremely fearful.

Let me make myself clearer.

I want you to take this inter-racial bill, I want you to put it in a dustbin

and set fire to it.

All of it?

Because there are elements in this proposed bill that I think...

Reward acts of terror.

Would lead to the erosion of our very constitution.

Our culture. Yes, Minister, I agree.

That's why our priority no longer lies in the appeasement of Noughts...

but in the enforcement of greater segregation laws.

And that means no more talk of an inter-racial bill.

No more Nought cadets at Mercy Point. No more cowering.

It's time we regained order.

Sir...

- Any news on Jack Dorn? - No.

But he'll surface, sooner or later.

I do, however, have that document you requested on Yaro Hadley.

- Thank you. - Sir.

Mama, what's wrong?

I'll pay.

With what, Jude?

- You don't have a job. - I'll get one.

Go on, slap me again.

- If it's gonna help you. - No. It won't.

What's going on?

We can't even bury him.

But, you know, they're charging us a disposal fee.

A disposal fee when we can't even pay rent.

- I'll pay for it. - No, that's not the point!

The point is, they're disposing of him like a dog!

And why would they do that?

I don't know.

Well, I need to. I need to know.

I'm telling you, Baba,

you need to launch an inquiry into Ryan McGregor's death.

Why? Because your gut doesn't feel quite right?

Yes, my Ministers would love that.

�Let's splurge out public money because my daughter has a hunch.�

But I know that I'm right on this!

This is precisely the problem, Sephy. You don't know.

And if he was a Cross, would that have made a difference?

You know... don't you?

The truth. You've known this whole time!

Sephy...

Yes, I knew.

It wasn't suicide. How could you?

Because I have a duty to my people.

Yeah? What about the McGregors' right to know the truth?

And what is that truth, Sephy?

That he was beaten in his cell after trying to attack a guard?

But you can see how that sounds, how it would look.

Do you honestly think that knowing that

would bring the McGregors any more peace?

So, the ends justify the means.

- No, you... - Is that it?

- We just go on pretending. - Well, you're very good at that.

I know Okene Uni has offered you a place.

When were you going to mention it?

- I don't think I'm going to accept. - Why not?

It's what you wanted. It's what you've worked for.

I know about you and the McGregor boy.

I'm not angry.

I'll only ever want the best for you, Sephy.

I'll only ever want your happiness.

Which is why it's important you know now that it can never work between you.

Oh, the baba in me wishes I could tuck you in.

Unlike Minerva, you've never been a fan of fairy tales.

You know the truth about Ryan McGregor now.

It's up to you to decide what you do with it.

And how you live with the consequences.

I'm glad you didn't take my advice, Yaro.

You know, to leave.

Actually, Meggie, I am.

You were right. He can never be a father to me.

Not how I want, anyway.

But there's other ways he can be of benefit.

My God... He's buying you out, isn't he?

I like to think of it as finally receiving my dues.

You know it's just another way to control you, don't you?

To cast you aside.

Is that really what you want?

I was sorry to hear about your husband.

No, no, no, don't change the subject.

- Is that what you want? - So what do you suggest I do this time?

- Beg for his love? Acceptance? - No.

You accept yourself. That's what I intend to do.

And that's why I've come here...

to get you to do it with me.

I just think the time for silence is over.

Instead, we've got to speak out against hypocrisy

and stand up for the truth.

That's the only way things will ever change, Yaro.

Your Baba didn't have the courage to follow his heart.

Don't you make the same mistake.

Next!

- I'm just here to sign on. - Cheers, mate.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Apologies for the nature of the invitation.

It's the only way I could assure your attendance.

They weren't too rough, were they?

Well, nothing I haven't encountered before.

Yes, right. Your testimony.

Who could forget? It had quite an effect on me.

On Sephy, too.

In fact, you've had quite an effect on my daughter all round.

I love her.

Walk away, Callum.

This thing between you and Sephy, it can never work.

Putting aside the fact that there isn't a world in existence

in which I'd ever allow it.

She doesn't love you.

Not in the same way. Yes, she might've told you otherwise.

Maybe even convinced part of herself that she does.

But the truth is you can only ever be an experiment.

Do you really think she'd give up her family for you?

That one day you'd just run off together?

Where would you go? How would you live?

Yes, I know you're ambitious. Mercy Point proved that.

I'm sure you'd try and you'd give it a go. And she probably would, too.

She'd assure you that she's fine living in a one-bedroom shack

and that all that really matters is that you have each other.

She may never tell you... any differently.

But one day, you'll see it in the way she looks at you.

The resentment in her eyes she can no longer hide.

And you'll look back at this moment...

in despair...

for all those wasted years.

Do you really want to put yourself through that?

Or Sephy?

Don't you think she deserve better?

- Have you lost something? - No.

- Where did you find it? - I always did have a keen eye.

- Ese. - No problem.

Listen...

- About before. - Look, I...

Let's just forget about it.

Can we? Please?

Cos...

I really do like Minerva.

And it'll make...

the whole thing a lot easier if we could all be friends.

Yeah. Sure.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Where've you been? - Nowhere.

What are you doing?

It's torn.

Do you remember when Baba got this?

Oh, man...

He thought he looked proper cool.

Even when we refused to go out with him if he wore it.

I'd give anything to see him wear it now.

- I miss him, Cal. - I know, man.

Me, too.

I'll never forgive myself.

And I'll never forget what he gave up for me.

For us.

Right.

But what he sacrificed will mean nothing...

if we aren't truly free.

Look, I thought planting that bomb would work towards achieving that.

I was wrong.

You thought enrolling at Mercy Point would.

You thought you could change things from the inside.

Yeah.

But maybe you were trying to change the wrong organisation.

The direction of the LM is shifting.

You're smart, Cal.

All I'm asking is that you meet with Dorn,

make an informed decision.

I can tell you where he is.

I must admit, this is quite a surprise.

I always had you painted as something of a sympathiser.

Yeah.

Don't get me wrong. Blowing up shit and murder ain't my style, either.

Oh, good. Good.

Because what happened, isn't easy to live with.

It wasn't right.

But neither was it wrong.

What we're involved with is far more complicated than that.

The only absolute...

is furthering the cause.

But you didn't come here to hear me harp on. So...

what did you come here for?

The truth.

OK.

You'll find it here.

Unfortunately, truth sometimes comes at a cost.

It just depends...

if you're willing to pay or not.

What's going on?

- Who's this? - Please, sit, Sephy.

We haven't long before your father gets back.

No.

- There's no way he's my brother. - Minerva, please...

You don't... speak to me.

I've heard enough from you.

From both of you. You...

You think we don't know what this is about?

Now that Baba's PM, you want your chance in the spotlight

and a slice of the inheritance money, is that it?

I have no need to lie to you.

By doing this...

by coming forward and speaking out against your father,

Yaro is forfeiting any money he was promised.

- Rubbish! - That's enough, Minerva.

Don't waste another breath defending that hypocrite.

You knew.

All this time.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Sephy...!

You've always wanted Baba to yourself, Minerva.

Take him.

He's yours.

- You should've told me. - I know.

I'm sorry.

I wish I could go back.

You know, change things.

Tell me... did he love her?

Yaro's mother?

Yes.

Very much.

We can't go back, Meggie. Only forward.

Do what you need to do.

You have my permission.

Oh, thank you, Jasmine.

How are you doing?

As well as can be expected after finding out that...

my father's a pathological liar.

It doesn't mean he doesn't love you.

I thought we weren't defending him any more.

Force of habit.

Mama, I'm so sorry.

You have absolutely no need to apologise to me.

I married the man.

And we all fell under his spell.

I gave Meggie my blessing to proceed with this thing with Yaro.

But, Mama, what will that mean for you?

Don't you worry about anything.

I'll be just fine.

I'm far stronger than people give me credit.

I want you to focus on this.

And whatever fills it with the most joy...

I want you to follow it, Sephy.

Whatever it is.

Do that and you can't go wrong.

Oh, Mama...!

Oh, Mama, ese gan. Ese gan.

Well, I'll come round tomorrow and I'll check on you.

Odaro, Mama.

You're not telling me what I want to hear.

- You're not telling me anything. - Please...

- What do you want from me?! - I want the truth!

Don't kill me, yeah?

I have a son, a little boy.

I'm not gonna kill you.

I just needed to know what happened to my...

to Ryan McGregor.

What I'm about to tell you, I was warned to never tell anyone.

What is it?

I liked McGregor. I tried my best to help him.

But there were orders. You understand?

By who?

From the warden. Maybe higher, even, I don't know.

It wasn't no suicide.

But you didn't hear that from me, just like I didn't see you here tonight.

Right?

What have you done?

You did this. Not me.

But we had... had an understanding.

He'd clocked who you were. He would've gone straight to the police.

Come on.

This side. Drag it, drag it.

Come on.

Hi, this is Callum, leave a message after the tone.

Hi.

It's me.

I need you, Callum.

No-one else but you.

I don't want to wait to make this work, all right?

Let's just go somewhere and start our lives together now.

I love you.

That's why I need to tell you the truth.

Face to face.

I'm coming to find you.

- Hey. - Oh, good, you're back.

Where've you been?

- Your dinner's getting cold. - Yeah...

- I'm... I'm sorry. - That's all right.

It's nothing special. I've just popped it in the oven.

What?

Look, Mama, I just...

I need you to know that...

Thank you.

For everything you do for me...

...and Jude.

Cal...

- Are you all right? - Yeah.

I'm fine.

OK.

Well... I'll get you your plate out.

What are you doing here?

Didn't you get my messages?

It's fine.

Callum, I...

I want you to know that, from now on, you come first.

Always.

- I need to tell you something. - Me, too.

No. No, please. Just let me go first, all right?

You were right about everything.

You were right, Callum, about your father, about mine.

I just didn't know how to tell you.

And...

I was deciding whether I should. But...

But you don't lie to the one that you love.

You don't. Not when you're trying to build a future together.

A life together.

And I want that with you.

More than anything.

I want to build my life with you.

We've been kidding ourselves.

This...

us...

could ever be.

What...? What are you saying?

- I can't love you, Sephy. - No.

- Not with who I am. - Oh, Callum...!

Or where I'm going.

No... No, Callum, please, don't do this.

We've got to go!

- Come on, man, we've got to go! - What's going on?

Callum, I love you!

Callum?

Callum, no!
