00:01Dennis told Ian he was worried about someone harassing him.
00:04I mean, it could only point to...
00:06Who?
00:07Did he?
00:09Did you kill your social worker?
00:11I promise you.
00:12I crawled out of his boot.
00:14And you know where to be seen.
00:16There's only one business opening around here that matters, isn't it?
00:18It's a dog relaunch and you are gonna smash it.
00:20Aw, it's nice to hear the compliments.
00:22Now listen to me, Jeremy.
00:24If you want to make a life with John Paul,
00:26you've got to promise me that you'll change your ways
00:28and that Ian will be your last victim.
00:31I needed you here to help with wedding prayer.
00:34Sounds to me like you don't know the man you're marrying.
00:38You are.
00:58I was lying on the grass on Sunday morning of last week, indulging in my self-defeat.
01:08I know it's up for me.
01:13You are lying on the grass on Sunday morning of last week, indulging in my self-defeat.
01:23I know it's up for me.
01:26You are making sure I'm not here to live.
01:31Wow!
01:32Oh, wait, wait.
01:34The Blakes and the McQueens united at last.
01:42Looks like we're all gonna get our happily ever afters.
01:45So, Lib, do you reckon you'll have another fling with my dad before he marries John Paul?
01:53My brother and sister's dad. Are you all right?
02:11Also, he's the closest thing that Faith's got to a granddad.
02:14And you really think I would do that to lovely John Paul?
02:17Yes, I do.
02:18And he's gay.
02:19Well, is he?
02:20Mainly.
02:21He had an affair with you.
02:22It's not an affair.
02:24What is wrong with you? Why would you think that of me?
02:26Because you've been weird even at the mention of Jez getting married and you're a terrible liar.
02:30Come on, Lib.
02:34Okay.
02:36Okay.
02:37We had one kiss.
02:39Like, well over a year ago.
02:41He thought nothing of it, but I...
02:44Well, I think about it all the time.
02:45Which is stupid.
02:46I know.
02:47I would never act on it.
02:48One kiss.
02:49Yes.
02:50That's all.
02:51Yes.
02:52You haven't been sleeping with him.
02:53There it is.
02:55Yeah.
03:00Is it a DNA match?
03:05Okay, I'll be right over.
03:16They found Dennis' remains.
03:26What do you want?
03:27What?
03:28I...
03:29I'm Jeremy.
03:30I've never seen you before.
03:31You thought I was Jeremy.
03:32Don't be ridiculous.
03:33You look nothing like him.
03:34Okay.
03:35I'm really sorry.
03:36Can you just sit down and we'll talk?
03:37I'm not going to hurt you.
03:38Nothing.
03:39Yeah?
03:40Thanks.
03:41So, you told me that Jeremy killed a man named Ian.
03:42I don't remember that.
03:43I've been accused of this murder.
03:44You told me that Jeremy killed a man named Ian.
03:48can you just sit down and we'll talk? I'm not gonna hurt you, or nothing. Yeah? Thanks.
04:03So, you told me that Jeremy killed a man named Ian. I should remember that. I've been accused
04:12of this murder, and I did not kill him. What's she got to do with me? What on earth are you
04:17doing here? Right, okay. See, this. Look. This is me. You're a Mercedes boy. Yeah. I'm calling
04:34to police. Okay, that's fine. You can. But when they get here, we're gonna tell them everything
04:39you know about your son. Ian's murderer. Have the police been in touch? Any sightings
04:48about Bobby? No. Should we be worried that he's still at large? Come on, Pearl. Save it
04:53for the church gossip, will ya? Look, I can get my bit spot wedding somewhere else, you
04:57know. I'm only being community-minded. Pearl, stop. Now, I'm doing a special on Pimm's over
05:03there. You got any overpriced cucumbers out the pack, please? They're organic. Yeah,
05:09course they are. I don't need you fighting my battle, Tommy. But I do appreciate you being
05:16there for me at the minute. Well, I'm enjoying the situation, too. No strings? Mm. Why don't
05:22you pop over later for a drink? For a lock-in by any chance? Is it just me, or is the air thick
05:31with pheromones? Very mothskins? I'll see you later. How did Jez even know about my social
05:45worker? Like, what motive could he have? Don't you start digging. Come on, I need you
05:50to tell me. Will you stop it? All right. What about the others? What? You told me he wasn't
05:58the only victim. I can't be trusted. Please. Okay? He's marrying into my family. A multiple
06:08killer. Well, what were you inside for? I promise you, I've reformed. Yeah, me then is not me
06:15now. Okay? I've taken so many classes. I've got my GCSEs early, despite getting beat up all
06:22the time. I had to escape. But now I need to serve the rest of my sentence. Take my
06:29punishment. I can't see the good in you. Set me free. By sending Jez down. Tell the police.
06:39But I've kept all the secrets. Then tell me. How many people? Why does he keep doing
06:46this? Is there more bodies to be found? There is. Isn't there? Where? What kind of mother
06:54would I be? All I want is to be with my mum. She's the only person I've ever loved. I miss
07:01her. And I could be out by the time I'm 21 and still have decades to spend with her.
07:06But if I'm done for Ian, I'm being sent down for good. So if you won't tell me anything,
07:12I'll find evidence. Carry on running. I don't want to run. But you could set yourself free.
07:20No. It's not life without my mum. My family. You've got to save yourself. Because if Jeremy
07:29finds out that I've told you all the secrets, you'll be the next under his raised pets.
07:35Wait. Martha, who's that? Oh, what did I tell him? Hey. Do you want to see my new suit,
07:46Mr McQueen? Isn't it bad luck to see the dress before the wedding? Mr Blake. So, what's on
07:53the to-do list for tomorrow? No, you're the only thing on my to-do list. No cold feet? No
08:00last-minute confessions you want to tell me about? Do you have one, Rob? But we didn't
08:08do this sooner. Call me down. Hmm. Hey. Mark, what's the emergency?
08:20Dennis' body's been found. Where? Why does that matter? No, I meant, do you know what happened?
08:26No. Not yet, but I'll be one step closer to finding out. Well, hopefully confirm your suspicion.
08:31Yeah, maybe. I don't know. At least he'll finally get closure. Closure? Seeing my cousin
08:37mindlessly murdered. What's wrong with you? He's just trying to be kind. He's as cut up
08:43as you are. Then why are you defending him? Look, do me a favour. Ask yourself if he's
08:47really the one. Because he certainly don't see you that way. I beg your pardon. Look, I
08:52understand that you're upset about Dennis. I'm upset because Jez is morally bankrupt, sleeping
08:57with Liberty, leading her on, all the while committing to you.
09:04I'm sorry. What? I'm getting fit for Pearl. But I shouldn't have had that total whiskey
09:05with my fry up this morning. Sorry. What? Always present the best
09:33version of yourself. Hey, Jack's trying to get a six pack. Oh, yeah? I need to get
09:39back into my runny. Oh, who wants to see you in the nude?
09:43Er, you, er, said you wanted to meet? Well, yeah. The builders are close to finishing.
09:48Oh, and Shanty Barb is over the moon, not gonna be back in business. Oh, brilliant. Although
09:52I have been thinking less seafood on the dog menu. Only Grinny's had its day is a bit old
09:56Tony. I wanna reinvent. Aw. I love old Tony. Really? Yeah, I'm just looking forward to
10:05us hanging out again and talking about everything and anything that we used to. Yeah. I haven't
10:11missed you stacking the dishwasher though. Er, and I don't miss you re-stacking it. Anyhow,
10:17just like old times. Ta-da! The Hatchington family. Yeah. I think the kids can't wait for
10:27us all to be together again. Like normal. Well, you know, living together. And if the launch
10:32goes well, maybe we even rethink the sale of the place. Oh, and Jack, please, will you be
10:36our number one barman again? Yeah, you may. I'd love to. I'm just so happy to my dearest
10:44dearest couple of friends getting the old band back together again. No. John Paul, I'd never
10:53go behind your back with anyone. I love you. So why would Dodger say that then? And listen,
11:03everyone can see how miserable he is. It's probably just resentful that I've found
11:06happiness. But he's not a cruel person. Well, ask Liberty then.
11:26Jack's going to love these. We had a little falling out recently, but things are better
11:31than ever now. I feel so lucky to have a man in my life by my side.
11:36I need to. Oh, look. Fake forget-me-nots. How appropriate. You know what, Pearl? Men don't
11:44need to feel appreciated. Women do. Or at least not lied to. Not led down a garden path. Not
11:50promised the moon and stars. Are you going to get that? Yes, I am.
11:56Hello. Hi, Lib. Are you sleeping with Jez? What? Are you?
12:09As Jez? Look, Mark's telling ridiculous lies about us. Jez.
12:12Jez. Carry on, Lib. Please.
12:18Well, for a while now. Jez and I have been close.
12:23But it's just friendship. I understand why people might...
12:37How close? You just heard what you said. Jean-Paul, you're just being paranoid. Paranoid?
12:44You want to talk about being paranoid? Okay, cool. Yeah. You make me paranoid. All the
12:51times that you wake up in the morning and you leave early without an explanation. Or we
12:56have plans. And you go missing. And whenever I question you about it, you just say, oh, I'm
13:01at the allotment. Because I usually am. Every time that I ask you how you're feeling or what
13:08you're thinking, you just shut down. Maybe Dodger's right. Maybe I don't know who I'm committing
13:18to. What are you talking about? We have an amazing relationship. Is it superficially? Yeah.
13:25But Jez, whenever I try and get to know you a little bit better or dig a little bit deeper,
13:30then you just... Where are you going now? Oh, yeah. Walk away, Jez, you coward.
13:43Okay. Let's talk. You would rather talk to your plants than talk to me. We're talking
13:55now, aren't we? I don't mean like this, Jez. Okay, fine. Then I will see you tomorrow
14:00when we exchange our vows because we love each other. How can I love you when I barely know
14:10you? Are you saying you don't love me? Not right now, no.
14:24There you go. Jack told me about his new old position behind the bar. Yeah, well, place
14:40wouldn't be the same without him. And a new old position with Diane. I never liked Marie.
14:48No one approved of those two being together. Me and my customers had a sweet steak as to
14:53how long it would last. Well, say how you see it, Pearl. I mean, don't sit on the fence.
14:58Let no one of serious norm come between you and Diane. Come on, lover boy.
15:04What time are you knocking off? You okay? Yeah. Look, Mercedes, you know I'm moving back
15:20into the pub, right? Yeah. I knew that wrong cards as well as living with your children again.
15:25Yeah, well, I just want to be honest with you. I, well, I was there earlier with Diane
15:29and I got excited, you know? Hmm. Felt like home.
15:37Well, I'm glad she's taking heat off me because I was starting to think you were getting attached.
15:42But don't worry, I won't. Kiss and tell. Hi.
15:48Hey, landlady. You're usually gonna be back where you belong, eh?
15:53Yeah, well, it feels like the dogs had a second chance. Well, good luck. Genuinely, I mean.
15:59Hey, listen. I know we've never seen eye to eye over Bobby. I mean, you must be out of your mind
16:04that he's gone missing. I really hope things work out for you both.
16:08Yeah, right. Back at yous.
16:27Mark.
16:28You can talk about from kids' club. Yeah, but how did...
16:31What? Seeing my dead cousin go?
16:34What, did you get any more information?
16:36What is with the intense interest?
16:38Well, Dennis was my family, sir.
16:40Haven't you got a relationship to fix?
16:42Or have you already sold John Paul your mountain of lies?
16:45Why do you always have to think the worst of me?
16:47Can you look me in the eye and tell me that you're a good person?
16:54Look, are you still coming to the wedding?
16:56Where do you...?
17:02Nothing's been taken.
17:03I told you he didn't want any money.
17:05Then what did he want?
17:06I don't know.
17:07Do you think you might recognise him again?
17:09I'm not sure.
17:11Maybe someone in the village saw something.
17:15Lib, come in.
17:16Sorry, the door was locked.
17:17It's just...
17:18No, Martha...
17:19Have you spoken to Dodger?
17:20No.
17:25They found Ennis's body.
17:30Maybe now we'll get some answers.
17:31Oh, Lib.
17:35Oh, at least we can give him a proper burial, eh?
17:37Yeah.
17:38Yeah.
18:09What do you think you're doing?
18:12Um...
18:16You can't be here.
18:17No, no, no.
18:27Hey!
18:28Last night of freedom.
18:30I mean, it's a shame neither of us can have a bevy.
18:32There's always karaoke.
18:34What's happened?
18:38You okay?
18:44I don't think I can marry Chess.
18:47Hey.
18:49Oh, come here.
18:54Chess, what have you done?
18:56Bobby Costello knows too much.
18:59Is he dead?
19:05Oh, come here.
19:08Who told you to come here?
19:09What were you looking for?
19:12Ian Stone.
19:15Chess, let him go.
19:16He's just a kid.
19:24It's too late for that now.
19:25It's too late for that now.
19:55The night.
19:56And he also showed the clock.
19:58That's what he said, right?
19:59The night!
20:00Yeah.
20:01Nice.
20:02You're right.
20:03Oh, come here.
20:04Oh, come here.
20:05You're on!
20:06It's too late.
20:08I'm here.
20:10You must be here.
20:11You're right.
20:13I will come here.
20:14I will come here.
20:16I'm here.
20:18I will come here.
20:19Oh, come here.
20:20I will come here.
20:21You will come here.
