Episode 2

S1 E2: When the ‘We Want What You Have’ campaign takes a nasty turn for the worst, the residents of Pepys Road demand greater action from the police. But whilst DI Mill (Bryan Dick) searches for a breakthrough, other forces continue to transform the fortunes of many of the road’s inhabitants. Returning home after her Christmas sojourn, Arabella is troubled to discover that Roger is refusing to fall into line – and worse, rather than getting the house in order himself, he’s hired the attractive Matya (Zrinka Cvitesic) to help with the kids. Meanwhile, Petunia’s illness continues to deteriorate, causing Smitty to reveal a big secret to his ailing grandmother. But her sickness doesn’t mean that old resentments are just swept away, and Mary is left struggling to cope with the decline in her mother’s health. When the Kamal brothers learn that their mother, Mrs. Kamal (Shabana Azmi) is planning to visit, Shahid hatches a plan to finally get rid of Iqbal. Whilst elsewhere, Bogdan’s womanising causes difficulties between him and Piotr (Krystian Godlewski), and Mashinko is desperate to learn of the fate that has befallen Quentina.
