Lloyd accused

The boyfriend denied it.
People took sides.

He and Alex split up over it.

I didn't mean to overhear.

- It's okay, Taylor. I'm not
keeping it a secret anymore.

- I'm so sorry about
all this, love.

Are you?

- Really?
- Of course.

- Well then,
you'll set the record straight

and tell them that Sly
was behind all of this.

Fine, admit to the copper,

but you didn't
steal from the Charltons.

- Love,
everything's gonna be okay.

- I need you to do this for us,
for me.

Listen to me.

Everything I've done
has been for my family.

- Including abandoning me
to go on tour?

And stealing to pay for it?

I owe Sly.

- I know you feel that way
but, Clint, I just --

- The last time
the band split up,

we'd just met
and started seeing each other.

Everything's gone pear-shaped
for him ever since.

- Sly made his choices
and you made yours.

- All he had was the band
when Alex dumped him.

It's what kept him going
for years.

I took that away from him.

That wee sigh you make

[ Mimics sigh ]

"Ahh."

Seriously,
it used to drive me crazy.

[ Both laugh ]

But the funny thing is,
now I do it,

and it drives Ash crazy.

[ Laughs ]

You learnt from the master.

I did.

What it takes to be
a proper police officer,

how fairness results
in your community trusting you,

and why sticking to the rules
is important.

I don't even let
my fiancee kiss me

when I'm in uniform.

I wonder who I get that from.

I realise that it's not you
but the diocese saying that

you can't have a same-sex
marriage in your church.

Okay, I-I get that.
That's their rule.

But I just want to make peace.
Just put it behind us, yeah?

Yeah.

[ Sighs ]

Uh, you see...

it's not just
the rules of the diocese

that stops me blessing
your marriage in church.

Okay, um...

What is it, then?

Well, uh...

How do I say this?

You see, the teachings
in the Bible,

I mean, they're unequivocal.

And although I love you,
Marlene,

and I really do hope that you'll
be happy together with Ash...

but, theologically,

I just can't see how marriage
can be anything other

than between a man and a woman.

Uh...

Well, if...

if that's how you feel...

- Do you remember our first date?
- [ Laughs ] Yeah.

It was a disaster.

The night before, just after
your gig at the Commodore,

I caught Sly poking through
people's stuff

in the coat check.

He said he was looking
for his own jacket,

but it was obvious
that he was stealing.

[ Sighs shakily ]

I spent the whole next day
worried that you knew,

and that you had only ever
asked me out as a distraction.

I had no idea.

- Well, that's why
we went on a second date,

and you were your own man.

The band splitting
didn't make Sly who he is.

It just gives him
an excuse for his failures,

and then he blames
his choices on you.

Where's the loyalty in that?

- I know, but Nicole,
it's like --

This code of silence,

it doesn't make you
a good brother

or a criminal
or whatever it is you think.

It makes you an idiot.

But you're my idiot,
and I need you.

[ Tearfully ]
I can't lose you too.

Please,

be your own man.

Be my man.

Do you think that Sly
would do this for you?

Yeah.

Yeah, he would.

that that's not true.

You deserve to go to jail,

they throw away the key.
