00:30No, you're still alive.
00:40Why?
00:42What are you going to do?
00:44How are you feeling?
00:47Not great.
00:53Let me see.
01:00It's not septic.
01:02Well, it really hurts.
01:08This is the last of the antibiotics.
01:13Can't get any more.
01:16Doesn't look like the infection's getting any worse, so hopefully it'll do the trick.
01:21And if it doesn't...
01:24I can't survive down here much longer.
01:30You had your chance to leave yesterday.
01:32And you blew it.
01:35I misjudged.
01:37I made a mistake and I panicked.
01:40I'm sorry.
01:40But who...
01:43Who wouldn't?
01:45You've locked me in a dirty, great hole in the ground.
01:48Please just let me go.
01:49Please.
01:50You know I can't do that anymore.
01:51You said...
01:52You said you're a little killer.
01:54But you told me...
01:55I told you a lot of things.
02:00Things I should have kept to myself.
02:03John, you can still be the good guy here.
02:05Please just let me go.
02:06I give you my word.
02:07Your word doesn't count for anything anymore.
02:10John.
02:11John, please don't leave me down here.
02:13Please don't leave me down here again.
02:15John.
02:16John!
02:16John!
02:18John!
02:20John!
02:25We're up early.
02:27I don't want to be late for school.
02:30What?
02:32I was school yesterday.
02:34I didn't go.
02:36When I got there I couldn't face it.
02:37I'm surprised they didn't get in touch.
02:38They did.
02:40Right.
02:40I was going to tell you.
02:42It's okay.
02:42You're telling us now.
02:44What did you do instead?
02:45I didn't see you all day.
02:47Just wondered about.
02:48Sorry.
02:48No, it's okay.
02:49If it's too much for you to go back...
02:51No, honestly.
02:52I had a chance to think things through when I was walking yesterday and I'll be fine today.
02:56Maybe I was wrong to encourage you to go back to school.
03:03Well, you know, you heard what she said.
03:05She's ready.
03:06And she was honest about yesterday.
03:07Look, this is good.
03:09She is finally sorting her life out.
03:11You know, some men, when they've got a free morning, take their wives for a trip out and a bit of brunch.
03:27Mandy, you can't just peer over my shoulder when I'm logged in.
03:31This is really confidential information.
03:33All right.
03:35No, I'm sorry.
03:37It's not been a good morning.
03:40This fellow that was chatting to him on the helpline, I thought we were getting somewhere and he's just disappeared.
03:45Well, maybe your advice has sorted him out, eh?
03:47Yeah, yeah, maybe.
03:50I just feel like I'm failing everyone at the moment.
03:55I texted Dylan earlier and he didn't reply, so I called the hostel.
04:00Turns out he never showed up.
04:02Hey, you did the best you can, babe.
04:05Really?
04:05Yes.
04:06You wanted a safe place to stay and we turfed him out on the street?
04:09You didn't have a choice.
04:10Oh, I had a choice.
04:11I could have stood my ground with everybody and given Dylan the help he desperately needed.
04:17Instead, just allowed myself to be bullied into submission.
04:20Oh, bullied a bit keen, man.
04:22I don't blame you.
04:26There might be a way of sorting it.
04:28What are you thinking about inviting Dylan back?
04:30No, no, Moira and Chas won't like that.
04:32Tough.
04:32Good luck with that.
04:33Mandy!
04:34This is our house.
04:35We decide who stays here.
04:38And I really want to do right by Dylan.
04:43Well, I made some breakfast but you weren't here so I had it all.
04:47Right.
04:49You okay?
04:50Yeah.
04:52I was knackered.
04:53I went for a run.
04:54It was ages ago.
04:55No.
04:56Lost track of time.
04:56I, er, forgot how beautiful it is round here.
05:02You know, the woods, the rivers.
05:05We definitely made the right choice.
05:06Yeah, I think we just need to knock through that kitchen.
05:08That bathroom upstairs is definitely not fit for purpose.
05:11You're full of ideas.
05:12I'll have to do something while you're off on your marathons.
05:15Yeah, well, I'm back now.
05:16And I'm all yours once I've had a shower.
05:18Well, actually, I need to be somewhere.
05:20Where?
05:21Surprise.
05:22We don't do surprises.
05:24You'll like this one.
05:25Trust me.
05:31She not be in school?
05:33Vanessa's taken her in at lunchtime.
05:35Once the headteachers had a chance to talk to the rest of the class.
05:39Oh, the joys have been the daughter of a murdered dad, eh?
05:41What do you mean?
05:43Well, some of the kids have been talking about her dad getting murdered.
05:46Well, that's a worry.
05:48She seems to be taking it in a stride.
05:49Me?
05:51Not so much.
05:52Right.
05:53Well, if you ever need to talk.
05:55I'm practically running this shop single-handed.
05:58When do I get a chance to talk?
06:04Hiya.
06:04How are you doing?
06:06You know.
06:07Been trying to get hold of you.
06:09Yeah, I've been busy.
06:10Yeah, I heard you decided against the hostel.
06:14Er, yeah.
06:14Sorry, you know.
06:15Can't pay back what you've already spent.
06:17Look, money's not important.
06:20I just thought it'd be somewhere for you to get your head together and try and stay clean.
06:24Yeah, that's why I didn't go there.
06:25That hostel's riddled with drugs.
06:27What?
06:28I'm sorry.
06:29I had no idea.
06:30I'm sorry.
06:31It's fine.
06:31Don't worry about it.
06:32Well, of course I'm going to worry.
06:34The last thing I want to do is put you in danger.
06:37We should never have asked you to leave.
06:38Paddy, it's fine.
06:39Just don't sweat it, all right?
06:40We haven't found anywhere to stay.
06:44We should have been staying here and there.
06:45Nowhere permanent.
06:47Well, obviously it's not really your problem anymore, is it?
06:50Well, maybe it should be.
06:52Erm, me and Mandy were chatting and we were thinking, you okay?
06:59Er, yeah, erm...
07:04Mate, how's it going?
07:07Er, yeah, I'm just going to call you.
07:18At last, I'm really burning up in here.
07:21Are you?
07:23Or are you just playing for sympathy?
07:24Right, let's not panic.
07:43Careful.
07:44Just keep still.
07:49Er, 39.
07:51Higher than I'd like, but manageable.
07:57Well, you said it wasn't septic.
07:58I must be.
07:59I need medication.
08:01I've already explained I can't get any more.
08:04I'm afraid we're in the lap of the gods now.
08:06Either the fever breaks and you recover,
08:08or it gets worse and...
08:11Well, let's not think like that right now, eh?
08:14Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you saying?
08:17If I die, that's not up to the gods.
08:20That's you killing me.
08:22You need to stop this.
08:29I'm, er...
08:30I'm wondering if I should call the school.
08:33Make sure April turned up.
08:35Did she tell you she was going to bunk off?
08:38Oh, no, she said the opposite.
08:39Well, then, stop worrying.
08:41Yeah, you're right, you're right.
08:42I need to give her some space, sure I trust her.
08:44I mean, at least she's finally being honest with me, eh?
08:46There you go.
08:47If she is struggling, she will let you know.
08:49Well, how did he see you?
08:51Yeah, he was all right.
08:52He needed a shower, but clearly he hadn't been using.
08:55Who are you on about?
08:56Dylan.
08:57Bumped into him in the shop.
08:58What's he doing back here?
09:00Well, hopefully not dossing at the cricket pavilion again.
09:03Didn't you pay for an hostel?
09:04Er, yeah, it didn't work out.
09:06The thing is, he's desperately trying to stay off the drugs.
09:10Which is probably why he's come back to the village,
09:11avoid temptation.
09:12Well, I hope you told him to sling his hook.
09:13No, actually.
09:16We're thinking of asking him to move back in.
09:17Well, that's not going to happen.
09:19It's not your choice.
09:20You're all right with this now, are you?
09:21Chas, he just deserves another chance.
09:22No, he's got plenty of chances.
09:24The laddies are wrong, and that is why you kicked him out of the house.
09:27Yeah, like he gave us a choice.
09:28You did the right thing.
09:29Did we?
09:30Look, I'm not saying he's an angel, but he's a good lad.
09:33And we were wrong to send him packing.
09:35He needs us.
09:36Paddy's got a responsibility, I suppose.
09:37Yes, to us, to his family.
09:39We come first.
09:40Dylan hasn't got a family, which is probably why he's in such a mess.
09:44He needs a stable, safe place to live.
09:47With people who are not just going to give up on him.
09:51We don't like that.
09:52It's your problem, isn't it?
09:56Keep still.
09:59If you don't let me change this dressing,
10:01then, yeah,
10:03you really will get sepsis.
10:05Neither of us want that, do we?
10:07You're going to kill me anyway.
10:12Just take me to the hospital, please.
10:14How many times?
10:16That is not an option.
10:18Please.
10:20You started this.
10:22Not me.
10:23I had it all mapped out,
10:25and then you decided to cause trouble, didn't you?
10:27If I die,
10:37people are going to ask questions,
10:40you know that?
10:42There's just no way you're going to get away with this.
10:44I found out about Nate, didn't I?
10:46So your best option is just to let me go.
10:48So you can tell everyone anyway?
10:51Nah, I just want to stay alive.
10:53Whatever it takes.
10:53I swear, you can trust me this time.
10:56Nah, I wish I could.
10:59But I am building
11:00a new life for myself.
11:03I've finally met my soulmate,
11:04and no one
11:05is going to take that away from me.
11:10What do you think your soulmate
11:12is going to think
11:14when he finds out about you?
11:16I'm not a bad person.
11:17Okay.
11:18I'm not.
11:18I hate having to do this,
11:21but there is a bigger picture.
11:23I'm doing it to be with the man I love.
11:26The man that you love
11:27doesn't love you.
11:29Of course he does.
11:30Then how come he's sleeping with your brother?
11:31You're lying.
11:47You're lying.
11:48You are lying!
11:49Aaron would never betray me.
11:51Aaron gets Robert on your wedding day.
11:53That...
11:54That was nothing.
11:54We got past it.
11:55All the signs were there.
11:56You just chose to ignore them.
11:57You're trying to save your own skin.
11:58A little later.
11:59Aaron and Robert are going to end up together.
12:01You can't fight the inevitable,
12:04so you may as well move on.
12:06Why would I believe a word
12:07that comes out of your mouth?
12:08Because you will never compete
12:09with what they have.
12:11You're a third wheel.
12:13And deep down you know that.
12:15Shut up.
12:15Don't take my word for it.
12:16Ask Aaron.
12:17I said shut up!
12:19Kill me then.
12:20Kill me!
12:21Because it doesn't change the truth.
12:23All that will happen
12:24is you will have more blood on your hands.
12:27And for what?
12:28Your dream
12:30is over.
12:36I just don't think escalating things
12:42is going to help anyone.
12:43All right, but I'm not backing down.
12:44Hey?
12:45Eve is not stopping over
12:46while that thug lives there.
12:48All right?
12:49I can't remember the last time
12:52I was all right.
12:53I swear,
12:54most mornings,
12:55if it wasn't for Frankie,
12:56I wouldn't be getting out of bed.
12:58Well, it doesn't sound good.
13:00Anything I can do to help?
13:02Well, if you've got a magic cure
13:03for grief,
13:04mum all ears.
13:05No magician, I'm afraid.
13:07No, but if Murder Mystery Weekend
13:08has put a smile on your face,
13:09he's your man.
13:10I think there's been enough murder,
13:11don't you?
13:12Sorry.
13:12I'm just worried
13:15how all this is going to affect Frankie.
13:18And then I'm worried
13:19that she's going to see
13:20that I'm worried.
13:21I'm in this
13:22permanent state of panic.
13:26I don't know what to do.
13:28Why don't you come down to the surgery?
13:30I'm, uh,
13:31well, I'm free now,
13:32as it happens.
13:34Well, I can't leave the shop.
13:35I mean, you could
13:36close for half an hour
13:37and, uh,
13:38we could chat here.
13:41Okay.
13:43Thanks.
13:47No, we need to arrange it
13:48for a time when John's not here.
13:50Well, he keeps going out
13:51for these long runs,
13:52so it won't be hard
13:53to get rid of him
13:53for a couple of hours.
13:54Why would you want
13:55to get rid of me?
13:57Just let me call you back
13:58in a minute.
13:59Creep up on me,
13:59why don't you?
14:00Who's that?
14:02Can't tell you.
14:02Why not?
14:03Because I can't.
14:05Yeah.
14:06Yeah.
14:06Pop these.
14:08Give us a few ideas
14:08for the new kitchen.
14:13What are you hiding?
14:17Okay.
14:18I'll tell you.
14:19What?
14:21I bought us a new hot tub.
14:25Seriously?
14:26Yes, seriously.
14:27I know it sounds
14:27a bit extravagant,
14:28but I just,
14:28I wanted to make it
14:29our dream home.
14:30Inside and out.
14:31That's your secret?
14:32An outdoor jacuzzi?
14:34Well, it's not just a jacuzzi,
14:35but just think about it.
14:37These long summer nights,
14:38me and you,
14:39chilling out,
14:39a few beers.
14:41So you're not having
14:41any regrets?
14:43Well, I wouldn't have
14:43just thought out four grand
14:44for a hot tub of regrets,
14:46would I?
14:46Four grand?
14:47Yeah, that's not important.
14:48I've not even paid for it yet.
14:49I'll sort that later,
14:49but I'm just trying
14:50to make you happy.
14:51I want that as well.
14:52But I need to know
14:54you genuinely
14:55want to be with me.
14:57I'm leaving my whole family
14:59to shack up with you.
14:59Do you think I'd do that
15:00if I didn't love you?
15:02Make it sound like a sacrifice.
15:06Okay.
15:08So what do I have to do
15:09to prove it to you?
15:10What happened to Nate
15:19is shocking.
15:22Unimaginable.
15:25I just don't want to
15:26end up depressed again.
15:27Back on the meds.
15:30You know,
15:30this is completely different
15:32to your postnatal depression.
15:37After what you've been through,
15:38it's no wonder you're troubled.
15:39Who wouldn't be?
15:41I think
15:42we need to arrange
15:44more counselling.
15:46Hasn't worked so far.
15:48It is early days
15:49and you've got
15:49a lot of stuff
15:51to work through.
15:53Yeah.
15:55I know how these things
15:56take time.
15:59I'm just...
16:00I'm so scared
16:02of what to tell Frankie
16:04when she is that bit older
16:06and she starts
16:08to understand
16:09what her dad
16:10being murdered
16:11really means.
16:14You'll work it out
16:15with the right
16:16professional help.
16:20Do you know what gets me?
16:23The next killer
16:24took the easy way out
16:26so
16:26I'll never really know
16:28what happened
16:29and why he ended up
16:32killing him.
16:33Or how.
16:34what do you mean?
16:39Sorry, I...
16:40It just amazes me
16:44that someone like Owen
16:45managed to
16:46overpower
16:47a giant of a man
16:49like Nate.
16:51Yeah.
16:54Yeah, that would have
16:55taken some doing.
16:57Right, let me do
16:58the talking, yeah?
16:58All right.
17:01You sounded worried
17:02on the phone.
17:04Something happened?
17:06April got jumped.
17:08You kidding?
17:08Some lad threatened her.
17:10He had a knife.
17:11I thought he was
17:11going to kill me.
17:12Did he hurt you?
17:15Good.
17:17Thing is, we had to
17:18give him the drugs.
17:20What?
17:20All?
17:21All of the drugs?
17:24Oh, damn!
17:25I'm sorry.
17:27No, you did the right thing.
17:29Your safety comes first
17:30but I can't lie to you
17:31this is not good.
17:33Are we in trouble?
17:35Well, I...
17:36You've lost
17:38a lot of money.
17:40My bosses will not be happy.
17:41They don't take kindly
17:42to bad news.
17:43Well, what are we going to do?
17:47Um...
17:48You stay here
17:49I will
17:50make a call
17:51and try and appeal
17:52to their better nature
17:52but
17:53it's a long shot.
17:55I can't make any promises.
18:07Is that enough proof for you?
18:10It's a start.
18:12You never satisfy, do you?
18:16Just when good stuff happens
18:17to ask me
18:18it never seems to last.
18:22Well, it will this time.
18:24I told you,
18:24you're stuck with me now.
18:28Yeah.
18:29Yeah.
18:31And by the way,
18:32we're going to have some lunch
18:33with my mum tomorrow.
18:35Are we?
18:37Yeah.
18:38We'll tell her about this place
18:39she thinks we're on holiday.
18:42Well, do I need to come with you?
18:45Why wouldn't you?
18:47Well, just...
18:48You two might want some time
18:50to yourselves
18:50and, um...
18:51I've got things
18:52I need to sort out here.
18:53Like what?
18:57Nothing important.
18:58Well, there you go, then.
19:00We're in this together.
19:02We owe it to our own
19:03to tell her the plans.
19:05Okay.
19:07If...
19:07if that's what you want.
19:17All right?
19:19I've managed to broker a deal.
19:20Oh, thank God.
19:22The drugs you lost
19:24were worth a grand.
19:26They want two back
19:27when you're off the hook.
19:28Two grand?
19:30Can't find that kind of money.
19:32No, you don't have to.
19:33They've agreed
19:34to let you work it off.
19:36So there's a shipment coming in.
19:38You shift the gear.
19:39Start paying the debt.
19:41I don't know.
19:44These people are merciless.
19:46They don't accept
19:47no for an answer.
19:51What, if I get ambushed again?
19:53Just keep your wits about you.
19:55I don't care.
19:57I don't care.
19:59We'll do it.
20:01Good choice.
20:02I'll be in touch.
20:03In the meantime,
20:05try not to worry.
20:06Okay, Dylan?
20:07You got this.
20:09Okay?
20:10Good.
20:10Good.
20:10You need to make that last.
20:25I won't be back
20:25for a couple of days.
20:28What?
20:29Me and Aaron
20:29are going to visit his mum.
20:32Any message
20:33if I bump into charity?
20:35I've been more worried
20:36of Aaron bumping into Robert.
20:40Oh, yeah.
20:41That again.
20:42A nice try.
20:43But, actually,
20:45my dream is still
20:46well and truly alive.
20:48So you didn't even
20:49confront him?
20:50I didn't need to.
20:51He loves me.
20:52Life couldn't be sweeter.
20:53Yeah, until he gets
20:54back together with Robert.
20:56No, stop saying that.
20:58You are kidding yourself.
20:59I've done everything I can
21:00to keep you alive.
21:01And all you have done
21:02is pedalise
21:04and get inside my head.
21:06I've finally found happiness
21:07for the first time
21:08in my life
21:08and I will not let you
21:10take that away from me.
21:13In fact,
21:14you know what?
21:16I've wasted enough
21:17of my time on you.
21:19You're on your own now.
21:20Good luck with that.
21:20You can't leave me in here.
21:22I'll die.
21:23It's out of my hands now.
21:24No, John, John, John.
21:25You help people.
21:27That's what you do.
21:30Yeah, well,
21:30some people are beyond help.
21:32Whatever happens next,
21:33you've brought this
21:35upon yourself.

21:38don't do this.
