00:00Thank you very much.
00:30Hello? Can you help me?
01:00Oh, God. Oh, please. No, no, no.
01:06Oh, please help. Hey, hey, hey, calm it down. Calm it down.
01:11Even more, if you carry on like this, you're wasting your energy.
01:14Somebody, please help me.
01:16Please, please, you need to calm down.
01:20That's it. That's it.
01:26Where am I?
01:29So we're safe.
01:31I'm trying to help you. You nearly died.
01:37No. No, no, no. No, you tried to kill me.
01:42Just like you killed me.
01:44Come in.
01:54Morning, sweetheart.
01:56What's this?
01:57What?
01:58You drank your breakfast in bed, but you're already up.
02:01Yeah, I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd just start getting ready.
02:04But I can get back in bed. Come on.
02:05Oh.
02:08Ready? Got it?
02:09Yeah. Got it.
02:13So, um, how are you feeling about your first day back at school?
02:17Nervous.
02:18Yeah, I thought you might be.
02:20This is really nice.
02:23Um, okay, I'm not going to mide you because I know it drives you nuts, but, um...
02:31Sorry, I promised myself I wouldn't do this.
02:34Why are you getting upset?
02:35I am so proud of you.
02:37I'm so proud that after everything you've been through,
02:41you've come out stronger and braver,
02:43and you know what?
02:43You're going to absolutely smash it today.
02:47I'm dreading it, if I'm honest.
02:49Well, if you can make it through the year you've just had,
02:51you can make it through school.
02:53I hope so.
02:54I know so.
02:55And, you know, I'm sorry if it means you're going to see less of Dylan.
02:58I know. Yeah.
02:59Yeah.
02:59Yeah.
02:59Yeah.
02:59Yeah.
03:01Yeah.
03:01Yeah.
03:02Yeah.
03:03Yeah.
03:03Yeah.
03:03Yeah.
03:03Yeah.
03:04Yeah.
03:04Yeah.
03:05Yeah.
03:05Yeah.
03:07If I had one of you dead, I'd have left you in the woods.
03:12Then why didn't you?
03:15Because I'm not a monster.
03:17You shot me and broke my ankle with a rock.
03:21I had to stop you from getting away.
03:26Now, for what it's worth,
03:28I am genuinely sorry we've ended up here.
03:32What's that?
03:33Antibiotics, you've been fighting a nasty infection.
03:38You don't come and hear me with that.
03:40No.
03:41If I don't give you this,
03:43the infection will spread to your heart and your lungs,
03:45and then you really will be in trouble.
03:48I imagine the pain's almost unbearable as it is.
03:51And you have to let me help you.
04:04Supplies are running low.
04:06So I'll have to ration what medicines we've got left.
04:11We're out of sedatives.
04:11And that is why I've had to let you wake up.
04:16How long have I been out?
04:18About a week.
04:20A week.
04:20A week.
04:22People will be looking for me.
04:24No one is looking for you.
04:26Charity will be.
04:28Charity thinks she's driven you away.
04:32So stop fretting.
04:34No one is worried.
04:37And no one is looking for you.
04:41What is this place?
04:42Where are we?
04:43An old bomb shelter I found in the woods.
04:46Well, how long are you going to keep me locked up here?
04:50I'll do what I can for you with the limited resources I've got.
04:54And then what?
04:55Well, then, we're going to have to make some difficult decisions.
05:05That's it.
05:06Right, one more now.
05:07Big smile.
05:08Say cheese.
05:10Johnny, hurry up.
05:11You still need to have your breakfast.
05:13Perfect.
05:14Oh.
05:15You're still going to take some more on the doorstep, though, right?
05:17Oh, yeah.
05:17I mean, it wouldn't be a first day at school without the obligatory pictures on the doorstep,
05:22would it?
05:23And, er, I promised I'd send some to Cain, because he's in Australia.
05:27Can we send some to Daddy?
05:31Oh, darling.
05:34I don't think Daddy gets very good phone signal up in heaven.
05:39He might not get a good signal, but he's going to be watching over you all the time.
05:44And especially on an important day like today.
05:47Yeah.
05:48He wouldn't miss this for the world.
05:50Hey.
05:50Why don't you go upstairs and get that new school pack?
05:55And we can find everything we need to put inside it.
05:59Go on, then.
06:03Oh, it's ridiculous how fast they grow.
06:07Hey.
06:07You're going to become very familiar with a knit comb any day now.
06:10You're going to be able to get that new school pack.
06:12Yeah.
06:16Hey, what's up?
06:21This is just the first big milestone that knit's not going to be around for, isn't it?
06:30It's never going to be easy.
06:31If you don't want to kill me, why not just let me go?
06:41Because.
06:42I don't know.
06:55I really don't.
06:59I brought you here.
07:02And I kept you alive because I'm not a killer.
07:04I'm not.
07:04I'm a good person.
07:06I do good things.
07:08You murdered Nate.
07:09I did not murder Nate.
07:12I was trying to help him.
07:14Just like you're helping me?
07:16It was different.
07:17It was an accident.
07:21Nate was in a bad way when I found him.
07:23All I did was try and take some of his pain away.
07:26Why did you shoot him as well?
07:28No.
07:28Look, I know what I did to you was extreme.
07:40But I didn't want to hurt you.
07:41I didn't want to hurt anyone.
07:50Nate, I had a reaction to some medication.
07:54There was nothing I could do.
07:57So why not just tell the truth?
07:59How would that look, eh?
08:01I hardly knew anyone back then.
08:08I've never talked to anyone about this before.
08:10It feels weird.
08:15Good weird.
08:16No one understands what it's like holding something like this inside.
08:20It eats away at you.
08:21Well, you've been carrying this for over a year.
08:27So it must feel good to finally let it out.
08:34Yeah.
08:37Yeah.
08:40I came close to telling someone on a support chat line, but I couldn't.
08:44I just couldn't.
08:46Well, you've told me now.
08:47So you're not alone anymore.
08:55There are...
08:57other things.
09:01What other things?
09:07I wouldn't know where to start.
09:10Try the beginning.
09:10I don't want to do this a bit.
09:13I'm like, school.
09:14We'll be fine.
09:15Easy for you to say.
09:17You aren't the weird girl who got pregnant and went missing.
09:19So own it.
09:20I guarantee you're the most interesting person there.
09:23Erm, when you get the money for this better, maybe I should join you?
09:28Yeah.
09:28Yeah.
09:29Yeah.
09:32Back to school, is it?
09:34Yep.
09:35Well, you're a smart kid.
09:36You'll go far.
09:37You're a good influence on this one.
09:39He's come a long way since he met you.
09:41Thanks.
09:42And now look at you both.
09:44Saving up for your own place.
09:45I couldn't be happier.
09:48With that in mind, I thought you might appreciate some work.
09:51Milford Bridge, ten o'clock?
09:53I can't go there, remember?
09:54Too much heat.
09:56If you start turning work away, I'll have to offer it elsewhere and you will never save up.
10:00Is that what you want?
10:02No.
10:03Well, neither do I.
10:04So you'll do the job.
10:06I'll do it.
10:07You ain't doing another one.
10:09I've done a drop there before and it was all right.
10:12And it's not worth you risking it.
10:14No, it's your first day back at school.
10:15No way.
10:16This is more important.
10:17The sooner you get your own place, the sooner you can turn things around.
10:21Does this make sense?
10:22Please, just let me do this for you.
10:28No, Ella was not a good person.
10:31Who knows what she'd have done next if I hadn't stepped in.
10:33So you did Liam and Chaz a favour?
10:41All I've done is try and protect the people who are important to Aaron.
10:45Is that such a bad thing?
10:46Well, I am glad you told me.
10:52Because you're right.
10:53Liam and Chaz are better off without Ella around.
10:55And what happened with Cain and what Jacob would have happened anyway.
11:08I've got to go.
11:10Aaron will be wondering where I am.
11:12Is there anything you can do to help me with the pain?
11:18Not right now.
11:21I was wrong about you, John.
11:24Aaron is very, very lucky to have someone who loves him as much as you do.
11:30I'd do anything for him.
11:32I can see that.
11:34And people look up to you.
11:36I was just jealous of that before.
11:39That's good of you to say.
11:42And Charity and I are over.
11:47So there's nothing to keep me in the village anymore.
11:51I know.
11:53So let me go.
11:56Let me go.
11:58And I swear I will go up to Scotland and I will not breathe a word of this to anyone.
12:05I'm not supposed to believe you.
12:07You said so yourself.
12:08You're a good man.
12:09And good men do not kill people in cold blood.
12:15There could be a way out of this for us both.
12:16I swear I will not survive.
12:26I swear I will não be a man.
12:30I swear I will be a man with a man with a dog.
12:36I will be a man with a man with a man with a man with a man.
13:09Give me the bag.
13:26Nowhere. Who hire?
13:27I just want the bag.
13:29Well, it's not mine. It doesn't belong to me.
13:35Don't like a care.
13:37Take it. Take it!
13:39There you go.
13:57Is everything okay?
14:00Yeah.
14:01Why wouldn't it be?
14:02You've just been a bit quiet since you got back from your run.
14:07You're not still feeling bad for lying about this place, are you?
14:14No, it's not that.
14:16Okay.
14:17Well, just for future reference, if there ever is another mysterious locked door situation, just know that I'll always find a way to open it.
14:26Duly noted.
14:28Well, go on then. What is it?
14:29It's just, me and back here, it's made me think.
14:40I've done a lot of stuff in the years in between.
14:43Not all of it good.
14:44Well, as far as I'm concerned, the man you are today, strong, loyal, dependable, I think you're amazing.
14:54And I know all that stuff you did for me with Anthony, it must have made you question yourself.
15:01It did.
15:02But you got me through that.
15:04Good.
15:04Just know that if you ever mess up, and you need help disposing of anything, I'll do the same for you.
15:16I know that wouldn't help them.
15:19You're not like me, are you?
15:22You help people.
15:24You don't hurt them.
15:30Woo-hoo!
15:34Oh, you're back early.
15:53Frankie.
15:55What's happened? Why aren't she at school?
15:57I had a call from a teacher.
16:00Some kids were saying her dad got murdered.
16:03You are kidding me.
16:05Did the school send her own?
16:06No, I pulled her out.
16:07I'm not having that.
16:09Day one, and this is happening.
16:10She asked me what murder means.
16:13I'm calling her teacher.
16:14Demand to do something about it.
16:15Like what?
16:16It's the truth.
16:17There's only so long we can protect her from it.
16:19Well, she didn't need to find out like this.
16:21I know it's not ideal, but Trace, just stop and take a breath.
16:25School can be brutal.
16:25It was always going to come out.
16:27On her first day?
16:28The kids, they'll get bored.
16:30It'll blow over.
16:31Well, it won't for Frankie, will it?
16:32This is going to follow her around for the rest of her life.
16:35She'll always be the kid whose dad got murdered.
16:37I'm just saying, kids are kids.
16:39And you pulling her out, it just makes it a bigger deal than it needs to be.
16:43Are you for real?
16:44Now, Tracey, you overreacting like this, it just adds more fuel to the fire.
16:47I'm overreacting?
16:49Wow.
16:49Well, you just don't get it, do you?
16:51Gosh, I should have known that I couldn't talk to you about this.
16:54Did he hurt you?
16:59No.
16:59No, he didn't touch me.
17:02Sit down, sit down.
17:04But it was just, it was horrible.
17:09The second I saw the knife, I just thought of Becca.
17:12I shouldn't have let you go there.
17:13I kept my head down and I didn't draw any attention to myself.
17:16I don't know why you thought I would have had anything worth Nicky.
17:19I mean, that whole area is infamous.
17:20They probably just saw her new face and was like, what the hell?
17:22Ray is going to kill me.
17:24No, he won't.
17:25I've just lost thousands of pounds worth of drugs.
17:27Yeah, if we tell him what happened, that lad had a massive knife, he'll understand.
17:30You think?
17:31Yeah, 100%, so just stop worrying, okay?
17:34Ray's a sound guy, you know, he's on our side.
17:44Got it.
17:46Piece of cake.
17:47Did she give you any trouble?
17:48She looked like she was going to cry.
17:50Here.
17:52Nice one.
17:56You know, if I were you, I wouldn't bother with her.
17:59She's just a little girl.
18:00People are going to walk all over her.
18:03You may fail to see the potential in some people.
18:07But I don't.
18:15Let me see your shoulder.
18:15It's going to have to change that dressing, and I'll take a look at your ankle.
18:25Did you think any more about what I said?
18:28Yes.
18:29I want to trust you.
18:30You can, trust me.
18:34Just let me go, and I swear I won't breathe a word of this to anyone.
18:40Who'd believe you if you did?
18:44Anyway, you are not going anywhere until you're in a fit state to move.
18:48How long will that be?
18:51Depends how long it takes you to heal.
18:55So how do I know you're not just dangling the carrot of potential freedom to mess with me?
19:01Well, you just have to trust that I'm a man of my word.
19:03You were doing so well.
19:23I'm sorry if I was harsh earlier.
19:27I didn't explain myself very well.
19:33You were harsh.
19:36But you were right.
19:39I hate it when you're right.
19:42I know.
19:45I've ruined Frankie's first day at school.
19:51She was more upset about me pulling her out than she was about what they were saying to her.
19:56You were in tiger mum mode.
19:59No, I handled it all wrong.
20:03I was just so desperate to shield her from the truth.
20:08How is she supposed to process what happened to her dad when I...
20:14I don't even understand it.
20:20It's just so unfair.
20:23On her.
20:24I wish I could just do something or say something to make it better.
20:38I could just feel like I'm not enough.
20:46Not enough for what?
20:47For her.
20:51Nate was such an amazing dad and I just...
20:58I feel like I'm drowning.
21:01Why?
21:02Why?
21:02Why would you do this?
21:11Please, just calm down.
21:12Calm down!
21:13Calm down!
21:13You tried to attack me!
21:15And I thought we were getting somewhere.
21:17We both know that you were never going to let me go.
21:19Not after everything you told me.
21:21I gave you one chance.
21:22One chance!
21:23To prove you could be trusted.
21:24And you blew it!
21:25Okay, fine, fine.
21:27I got it wrong.
21:28I'm sorry.
21:28Alright?
21:29I'm sorry.
21:29I really wish you hadn't done that.
21:31Well, we can still work it out.
21:33Please.
21:33You're one of the good guys, remember?
21:35We can talk about this.
21:38But your word is meaningless now.
21:42And unfortunately for you, your word was the only thing keeping you alive.
21:55You're one of the good guys.
