00:00If I really mean that much to you, then you're going to have to prove it.
00:02I've realised that I need to be with someone who sees the real me.
00:05I've already dated every gay in the village.
00:07Get yourself on the apps.
00:08You'll be fighting them off with a big stick.
00:10I'm really sorry, Mercedes, but a body was found at the side of the road.
00:13I want to know who killed my son.
00:16I could have sworn it was a portal by him, but it couldn't have been.
00:18I killed Bobby.
00:30I guess you never know.
00:54I'll have to write now.
00:56See that, yeah?
00:57Yeah.
01:00Once a cheater, always a cheater.
01:23Bobby's dead because of me.
01:26I need to hand myself in.
01:28Oh, Lucienna.
01:34Here comes our new stepmother.
01:41OK, I know this looks really bad.
01:42What understatement of the century.
01:44All we did was chat.
01:47OK, I didn't meet up with any of these guys, look.
01:50Go ahead, check my messages.
01:50You don't need to see your dirty text messages, Dylan.
01:52I've been on for meself, it says.
01:54Last seen online this morning.
01:56Which means you were searching for random blokes while my son was in there having a shower.
02:00I know.
02:01You know, he slept with a girl on that sofa.
02:04Lucas, what, it's when things were you and what did I do?
02:07It was stuck up for you.
02:08All because I know how hard it is to fight addiction.
02:10Well, this time, not a chance.
02:12Come on, Steve.
02:14Lucas has been doing so well with his recovery since the operation.
02:18If he finds out he's going to hit the roof.
02:20Oh, you have no idea.
02:23I mean, why?
02:25Why would you risk everything you've got with Lucas for this stupid dating app?
02:29I don't know.
02:30Because I don't deserve him.
02:32Because I hate myself.
02:33Because I'm damaged goods.
02:35Pick one.
02:40I messed up.
02:43OK, I messed up.
02:46And Lucas is the only thing keeping me going, so please, Steve.
02:50Please don't tell him what I do.
02:57Our car directly links me to that hit and run.
03:00It's only a matter of time before the police work it out.
03:02OK.
03:03So we just get rid of the car?
03:06I'm not a criminal, Diane.
03:08So is that it, then?
03:09You're just off to prison?
03:10If I take myself in willingly, the police are more likely to believe it was an accident.
03:14Tony, nobody is going to believe that it was an accident.
03:17Bobby killed your sister.
03:18I mean, the whole village knows how much you hated them.
03:21And you even told Mercedes if you'd ever seen them again, you'd kill them.
03:25You've got the world's best motive for murder.
03:28They'll put you in a way for life.
03:29Hi.
03:32Can I borrow his henna?
03:33I want to treat aunt and daddy's some ice lattes when they come back from summer camp.
03:36Yeah, I can think we can do better than that.
03:39Here you go.
03:39Get yourself some ice cream, too.
03:42Thanks.
03:43Hey, do you want to come with us?
03:44Like a family outing?
03:46Oh, we'd love to, mate, but me and your mum have got to work.
03:49This relaunch is really packing the punters in.
03:51Yeah, it's fine.
03:52I'm just glad to see my mum and dad under the same roof again.
03:56Yeah.
04:00Please.
04:02Please don't tear the bar of this family.
04:07Believe me, I hate putting you in this position, but you saw how upset Lucas got when he found out about Honey.
04:11If he finds out I've been secretly messaging random guys...
04:16What about when he finds out that his dad knew about his boyfriend, C.D. Hook-ups?
04:19Yeah, we're no hook-ups.
04:21All right, look, my profile says in a relationship.
04:26Yeah, some of these guys, they wanted to meet, but I never took it any further.
04:31I never wanted to hurt him.
04:34Please, Steve, you have to believe me.
04:40I do.
04:41Believe you.
04:45So what is this, then?
04:47Self-sabotage thing?
04:49Is that normal?
04:51I...
04:53Whenever I hit rock bottom, I just used to drink.
04:57Push me family away, because I got high.
04:59Started kicking off at me.
05:01Yeah, but you never sold your body.
05:05You never picked up at a gun and...
05:07No.
05:09It was either you or Banks, Dylan.
05:11That wasn't your fault.
05:14None of this has been your fault.
05:18I get it.
05:20You feel like your life's spinning out of control.
05:22So what you want to do is you want to mess things up yourself little by little,
05:25and that's your way of taking the control back.
05:28How did you take all the screwed up thoughts in my brain and make them all make sense?
05:42Maybe I'm inside your head, Dylan.
05:44Are you going to tell him?
05:50No.
05:53But you are.
05:56Why him, Lib?
05:57Out of all the men on the planet, why my father?
06:00I wish you hadn't found out like that.
06:03But Jess makes me feel special.
06:06When I'm with him, I feel safe and wanted and desired.
06:09Just stop.
06:10I shouldn't have asked.
06:11Don't worry, Liberty.
06:12We've got nothing to apologise.
06:14Try telling John Paul that.
06:15He jilted me.
06:16You looked me in the eye and swore there was nothing going on with you and Lib.
06:19Look how you've reacted.
06:21Can you blame me?
06:21Can you blame me?
06:22I was really hoping that that humiliating spectacle in the dog yesterday was just a moment of madness.
06:28Well, it wasn't.
06:29I meant every word.
06:31I've spent my life hiding who I really am,
06:33suppressing my true self to try and make other people feel comfortable.
06:36Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to do that anymore.
06:40Hopefully, in time, you will come to accept us.
06:43It's ridiculous.
06:43Dodger, please.
06:47I've got bigger problems than your weird relationship.
06:51Whoever killed Dennis is still out there.
06:52And right now, he's the only member of this family I've not given up on.
06:59Just tell him everything you've just told me.
07:03Tell him you messed up.
07:06That all of this was just meaningless chats with guys,
07:08that nothing actually went anywhere.
07:11Tell him that you love him.
07:13I'm so scared of losing him.
07:23Come here.
07:26This is not about you now.
07:28This is about what's best for Lucas.
07:30And I know we both feel the same way.
07:39Oh, it's a shame about Bobby.
07:41Could have made me some serious money.
07:43Right, let's get a drink.
07:44Ooh, frozen rosé.
07:46We should do something like that for a summer promotion at the loft.
07:48Ooh, rosé.
07:50Two glasses of rosé, please.
07:51Just try sticking a bottle of wine in the freezer.
07:53I'd get the same effect.
07:54You're not still blaming us for what Banks did, are you?
07:57My life is hard enough without being accused of exploitation every day.
08:01I have cancer.
08:03I could die.
08:03Yeah.
08:04Then you'll get what you deserve, won't you?
08:07Just like your husband.
08:08Come on, Kate.
08:09Let's just go somewhere else.
08:10I need to talk to you.
08:22Sure.
08:23You all right?
08:24Because I could definitely ditch work and spend a day with you.
08:26Don't be nice to me.
08:29Just makes it harder.
08:31What's wrong?
08:34Luke, because I've really messed up.
08:38I've been messing with other guys.
08:40Think about what you're asking me to do.
08:44I know.
08:44It's not going to be easy.
08:46Easy?
08:47I'd be looking over my shoulder the rest of my life.
08:49And even if I got away with it, I'm not sure I could live with myself.
08:52What about all of us?
08:54Hey, what about our family?
08:55How can we live without you?
08:57Tony, you're a good person.
08:58You're the best.
08:59You don't deserve to be treated like a murderer.
09:01Come on, you don't know how that's going to happen.
09:03I don't care.
09:03I don't want to take the risk.
09:05What about Mercedes?
09:07Doesn't she deserve justice?
09:08Could you really watch her grieve her son every day, knowing that I'm the reason that
09:12he died?
09:13Listen, I know.
09:14It's going to be horrible.
09:17And I feel terrible for Mercedes.
09:19I really do.
09:21But we've only just got your back.
09:22I can't lose it again.
09:24Like, the police are going to think that you've killed Bobby out of revenge for venerity.
09:27They're going to throw the book at you.
09:28Hey, come on.
09:29We thought the same about Roe.
09:31Now, look at him.
09:31He stood tall in that courtroom.
09:33Yeah.
09:34And what kind of father am I if I don't set the same example?
09:37So that's the plan.
09:39Can we just trust the justice system?
09:42No.
09:43What are you going to tell the kids?
09:45I think of something.
09:47Hey.
09:47I can't bear the thought of leaving you with the kids.
09:51I really can't.
09:53I forgot my sunglasses.
09:56Why are you leaving?
10:01I didn't meet up with any of these guys, okay?
10:02They all knew I had a boyfriend.
10:04Yeah?
10:04Prove it.
10:05Show me right now.
10:06Come on.
10:07Get your phone out.
10:07It's not even sound like you.
10:18Is it because of my scar?
10:19Of course not.
10:22This is just me trying to deal with what Banks did.
10:25No, don't use your trauma as an excuse to cheat on me.
10:27Hey, Lucas, it's not an excuse.
10:29No, get off me.
10:30Don't touch me.
10:31Is this what you want me to be like?
10:33Some filthy slag like you.
10:37Look, I know you probably hate me right now, but can you just hear me out?
10:58I don't want to, Lib.
10:59Every time I think about you and my dad, I feel physically sick.
11:01It's not even my family.
11:03That's not all, Lib.
11:04He was going to marry John at home.
11:05Did you even care?
11:06Of course I cared.
11:07We knew how much we'd be judged.
11:11How hard it would be to be together, but we still chose each other.
11:15This is love.
11:16I'm sorry, but it's probably the only time I've ever truly felt it.
11:18Doesn't that count for something?
11:20Yeah, it shows you're prepared to step on people to get what you want.
11:23Like Jez.
11:24Like Patrick.
11:27Sienna.
11:28What happened, Lib?
11:30You're supposed to be the good one.
11:33Hey, you.
11:34Fancy a drink in the sunshine?
11:36Er, yeah.
11:37You need to try and stop me.
11:39Well, er, you're buying.
11:40No, I'm sorry.
11:41Claire Devine?
11:42You going for a drink with Claire Devine?
11:44Yeah, why not?
11:45Er, her husband's business is teen exploitation.
11:47She's a liar.
11:48She's a gaslighter.
11:49She kidnapped her granddaughter.
11:50Do you want me to go on?
11:50Everyone deserves a second chance, Sienna.
11:52You of all people should know that.
11:54I like her.
11:54She's fun.
11:55No pretense.
11:57What you see is what you get.
11:58What you'll get is stabbed in the back.
11:59You can't trust her, Mark.
12:00I can't trust my own family at the minute.
12:03Claire can't be any worse.
12:04Can I sit down?
12:24Look, I shouldn't have called you, um...
12:28I did.
12:29Why?
12:34It's true.
12:35No, it's not.
12:38I just wanted to hurt you as much as I possibly could.
12:41You know, when I'm angry sometimes, it's like...
12:44that someone else is in control.
12:51Why are you still with me?
12:54I've cheated on you.
12:57I've messaged other guys.
12:59Anyone else would have said good riddance a long time ago.
13:04Is that what you want me to do?
13:06Do you want me to break up with you?
13:10Well, you better up your game, then.
13:13Because I've gone nowhere.
13:15I understand.
13:19If you knew the things that go on inside of my head, Lucas...
13:24If you knew the things that I'd done...
13:27that I still love you, you know, no matter what happens, you're still the same shining bright person that I fell for, you know?
13:35You know, the same boy that likes his old music, and off-eating cardigans, and dances like he's on fire.
13:41That boy's gone.
13:49All that's left is me.
13:52I've got you.
13:55Everything's going to be okay.
13:57I promise.
13:58I'm sorry.
13:59You're not the one that needs to be sorry.
14:06You.
14:08You killed my son, because you couldn't trap him in your sick grooming gang!
14:12Mercedes, I know you're grieving, but I need you to calm down.
14:15Calm down?!
14:16I did not kill Bobby.
14:17Please tell me you don't believe that.
14:19No, I don't.
14:19You're a copper.
14:20You're not supposed to be gullible.
14:22Now, look, could you just step away, Clare?
14:24You're not the only one with your pitchforks out.
14:25Come on, join in.
14:27Well, you say you have no idea what your husband was doing, but you're obviously lying.
14:31Yes.
14:32It's like you're lying about Bobby!
14:34It was a hit and run.
14:35Besides, Clare was with me that night.
14:36You are joking, are you?
14:38So now you're covering for her?
14:39No.
14:40Course he is!
14:41Because she killed my little boy!
14:43Nurse, Bobby was a troubled kid, but you never stopped believing that he had changed.
14:46Is it really that hard to believe that Clare has too?
14:48Oh, yeah.
14:52Yes, it is.
14:57Mercedes!
14:59I'm sorry.
15:07Not many people give me the time of day, but they don't stick up for me like that.
15:11Not many people know the real you.
15:16I don't get it.
15:17You just got back together.
15:19Why are you going away now?
15:20Well, I've got a job.
15:22In Paris.
15:23Yeah.
15:24There was a French chef that came to the restaurant last week.
15:27Couldn't get enough of my prawn linguine.
15:29We got talking and turns out he's got a cookery school and he needs a new teacher.
15:35Wow!
15:36What, that's amazing!
15:38Yeah, I mean, your dad is jumping the gun a bit.
15:40Right, it's only an interview.
15:42You might not be going anywhere.
15:43How long are you going to be away for?
15:44Well, that's just it.
15:45I mean, it could be quite a while.
15:50Oh.
15:52Erm, my good luck.
15:55Hey.
15:56I'm not abandoning, yeah?
15:58I never thought you were.
16:00Listen, it's going to be hard without you.
16:04But I manage.
16:06Anyway, it's not that you're going away forever, is it?
16:10Well, don't keep me in suspense.
16:30I told him everything.
16:32There was some shouting.
16:36Then some tears.
16:38Mostly mine.
16:39But I think we're going to be okay.
16:42How did he take it?
16:44Was he angry?
16:46Yeah, at first.
16:49Then I opened up a bit.
16:52We talked everything through and...
16:55Well, he told me what you said.
16:57That it's not my fault.
17:00I'm just lucky to have someone so understanding, you know?
17:03So really what you're saying is that being honest actually worked out better than keeping secrets.
17:08Who'd have thought?
17:10Yeah, yeah.
17:11No need to be so smugsy.
17:12But thank you.
17:15Genuinely.
17:16I'm so sorry for the position I put you in, Alan.
17:21I know I'm not exactly dreaming or material.
17:24Don't be daft.
17:25You can talk to me any time.
17:27If you've got something on your mind, just come to me.
17:31And you can tell me anything.
17:33Anything?
17:35Mm-hmm.
17:36Well, there's something else.
17:41There's a secret that I've been keeping.
17:49See, there's this guy.
17:52And he's a bit older.
17:55But he just gets me.
17:57Whenever we're together, there's this spark.
18:01And I know it's wrong.
18:02Dylan.
18:04You better be honest with me right now and tell me who it is.
18:07I mean it, Dylan.
18:09Tell me right now who is this guy.
18:13It's you.
18:17What?
18:20That'll be Dodger.
18:22He can't get enough of me.
18:23That boy is well fit.
18:24Oh, please.
18:26Oi!
18:27Tell the truth.
18:28Everything that you did.
18:30The drugs, the abuse of those men.
18:33All the lives that you've ruined.
18:35Just have the guts to admit it out loud.
18:37Practised that in the mirror, did you?
18:44Oi!
18:45What are you doing?
18:46I'm not going anywhere until you admit what you did.
18:49Cos you broke the man that I love.
18:50Please.
18:51Any guy that sleeps with strangers for drug money must be broken in the first place.
18:55And what?
18:57That's it.
18:57Final warning.
18:58Get out!
18:59Not yet.
19:00We're just getting started.
19:01What are you gonna smash up next, tough guy?
19:07We're gonna do by.
19:14It's gonna be okay.
19:15Oh, Tony.
19:16Don't make promises that you can't keep.
19:18Hey, what if you go down for me?
19:20I doubt what you're gonna tell the kids.
19:22If you go and tell them in Paris for the rest of your life.
19:24Hey, I'm doing this for the kids.
19:28If I come clean and let them know that Bobby was an accident.
19:30Yeah, they won't believe you.
19:31Yeah.
19:32Well, I wish there was another way.
19:33But what choice do I have?
19:34I mean, this car directly links me to Dayton Runs.
19:40What are you doing?
19:42I'm saving our family.
19:44I'm gonna destroy the evidence.
19:48Diane, stop.
19:49We're gonna get home.
19:50We're gonna get home.
19:51Oh, my God.
20:21Oh, my God.
