00:30Oh, come on. It's too soon.
00:40This is the detective running things.
00:43Have you found him?
00:48Not yet, no.
00:51But we've spoken to Aaron.
00:53And we do know from the CCTV footage
00:56that it was John Sugden
00:58who dropped you off here yesterday.
01:03He did see he wasn't a killer.
01:08So he did talk to you.
01:10What can't you see? He's exhausted.
01:15Look,
01:16I won't drag this out if you're not up to it.
01:19But right now, you and Aaron
01:24are the only ones who can tell us what he's done.
01:27John loved to play the hero.
01:41If someone crossed him, he'd deliberately put them in danger.
01:46Near death,
01:47not to punish them,
01:48but to save them and save the day.
01:50So everyone would see him as good,
01:53important,
01:54and as necessary.
01:57And they did.
01:59You're a hero.
02:00And a real life one at that.
02:03He was trusted.
02:05He was always there,
02:07calm.
02:08Chas, it's me,
02:09John. Can you hear me?
02:10Oh my God, Chas.
02:11She's not responding.
02:12Helping people,
02:13advising,
02:15giving them their life back
02:16when it suited him.
02:23Hurting them,
02:24then winning them over,
02:26one by one.
02:27All of us,
02:28including me.
02:30But Robert was different.
02:32John couldn't win Robert over.
02:34Couldn't get at him.
02:36So he tried to frame him.
02:40Yeah.
02:42John hates Robert.
02:45Chas.
02:46When can I see him?
02:47He needs some time.
02:50Look, I am,
02:51I'm glad you're out.
02:52And I'm grateful,
02:53but you need to keep your distance, please.
02:55Aaron would be dead
02:56if it wasn't for him.
02:57But he's not dead.
02:59And I'm his mum.
03:01It's not asking much.
03:02You didn't nearly lose him.
03:03Yeah, me too.
03:04Come on.
03:05Don't make it worse.
03:06And then there's Nate.
03:18Nate was the only one to die.
03:20It was unintentional, maybe,
03:22but that won't bring him back.
03:27And now,
03:28I've got to tell his dad
03:29how it happened.
03:29All I could focus on was you.
03:42Stop it.
03:44Honestly,
03:45it was
03:45darkness.
03:49And then,
03:49it was
03:50nothing.
03:52I was in there for
03:53weeks,
03:55wasn't I?
04:00In the end,
04:01he gave me a
04:02syringe
04:04so I could take the easy way out,
04:05and that was,
04:06um,
04:07a real low point.
04:11It was so low,
04:12charity.
04:12I can't believe,
04:17I can't believe
04:17I thought I'd be better off
04:18gone.
04:20I feel
04:21so guilty
04:22if I
04:22left you
04:24and the kids.
04:25Hey,
04:26you are never,
04:28ever getting rid of us.
04:31You promised that.
04:33Can you say that again, please?
04:34God be here.
04:42That's good timing,
04:44thank you.
04:45Look,
04:46I'm, er,
04:46I'm glad you're doing okay.
04:49But Tracy's coming back later,
04:50she's just been to see
04:51Nets, Mum.
04:53God,
04:53poor Tracy.
04:56Right.
05:07So,
05:08what did you do tonight?
05:12Can I sit?
05:17Only if you want to be seen
05:18with the grass.
05:19I never called you that.
05:21As good as.
05:23I was just worried
05:24that you might have got scared
05:25and told the police
05:26something yesterday.
05:28That's not grassy,
05:29it's more just
05:30normal human behaviour.
05:32Would Ray agree with that?
05:34It's not all that bad,
05:36alright?
05:36Then why would you tell us
05:37when this debt's going to be paid off?
05:39It should be simple.
05:40You owe this,
05:42you pay that,
05:43then it's gone.
05:44He's trying his best for us,
05:46alright?
05:46He's got people above him,
05:47much higher,
05:48more scary.
05:49Yeah,
05:49so he keeps saying.
05:51No, he does,
05:52alright?
05:52I believe him,
05:53he's a good mate.
05:55Dylan,
05:56he's an old man
05:57that makes kids
05:58drop off drugs for me.
06:00She wants to see us.
06:08God,
06:08I am so sick
06:09of being scared.
06:11Well,
06:12can't change it,
06:12can we?
06:13Or maybe we can.
06:15Alright?
06:16There is police
06:17everywhere in this village
06:19and I bet you,
06:20he has got drugs
06:21in his car right now.
06:21If we're shopping,
06:22that's it,
06:22debt wiped out.
06:23Yeah,
06:24and him wiped out.
06:25And probably me
06:25you knew and all.
06:31God,
06:31you wish you never met me,
06:32eh?
06:34Don't be daft.
06:35Come on,
06:36we're talking around.
06:39There's probably a lot
06:40to get your head around,
06:42but he had to be seen
06:44as some kind of saviour.
06:46So he would
06:47drug people
06:48or do
06:50whatever to them
06:51to get them in death's door
06:52like Jacob
06:53and then he would
06:55bring them back
06:55mostly.
07:00Sorry,
07:00this is him
07:01a lot
07:02and I'm in a lot of meds.
07:04No.
07:05Keep going.
07:11Well,
07:12this probably isn't
07:13going to help you
07:14at all.
07:16But Nate
07:16was an accident.
07:18It was.
07:20He was in pain
07:21and
07:23John gave him
07:24a shot of something
07:25and he had a bad
07:25allergic reaction.
07:27That's it.
07:29You're going on
07:30the word of a killer.
07:32Well,
07:32he didn't have any reason
07:33to lie to me then.
07:36He was wracked
07:36with guilt about night.
07:39In the end,
07:40it was him
07:41that brought me here.
07:41Moira's here.
07:44Moira's here.
07:48You don't have to go.
07:50No,
07:50you don't need to keep
07:51going over this
07:51and I've got to
07:52check in with others.
07:56Cain,
07:57whatever you think
07:59about Aaron,
08:00he could not have known
08:01what John was capable of.
08:03You did
08:04at first
08:04and so did Robert.
08:05he tried to kill Aaron
08:08and himself.
08:11But they survived.
08:19John would be better off
08:20doing life in prison
08:21than five minutes
08:21in a room with him.
08:25Oh,
08:26try and book up, mate.
08:27She's taken a while
08:28to sink in.
08:30Spent weeks
08:30counselling a killer.
08:32Nobody knows
08:34who anyone else is
08:35on that helpline.
08:35That's the whole point.
08:36And I'm glad he had
08:37you to talk to
08:38cos things could have
08:39been even worse.
08:41I thought you didn't
08:41fancy any lunch.
08:42Ah, blame me.
08:43I need some chips.
08:45I'm stressed
08:45and a bit freaked out
08:46to be honest.
08:48I saw Robert earlier.
08:49At least one person
08:49has got a reason
08:50to celebrate.
08:51You know the police
08:52are all over our building
08:52cos John lived upstairs.
08:54Yeah, we just found out
08:55he was one who took
08:56Mike to hospital.
08:57So he wants to have
08:57a conscience.
08:59So you were counselling,
09:01John?
09:01How do you know?
09:05I heard you talking
09:05to him.
09:07I'm not supposed
09:08to be talking
09:08about this at all.
09:10Well, he killed my nephew
09:11and you want to
09:11protect his privacy.
09:13So, did he speak
09:14about the things
09:15he'd done?
09:15Look, I'm not a priest.
09:16If anybody said
09:17anything illegal,
09:18I would speak up.
09:19Well, without the facts,
09:20people are going to
09:21speculate.
09:22Yeah, or they could
09:22just order and eat
09:23the dinner.
09:24Well said, that man.
09:26Okay, yeah.
09:27Sorry.
09:27I can't believe
09:32we trusted John
09:33like we did.
09:34Yeah, well,
09:35I suppose when someone
09:36tells you they'll dispose
09:36of a body for you,
09:38you've got to question
09:38what kind of crazy they are.
09:42Knew that John
09:42was a right wrong'un.
09:44How'd they even met him?
09:45He couldn't have been
09:46more of a wrong'un
09:46if he had wrong'un
09:47tatted on his forehead,
09:48all right?
09:51It won't help,
09:52all right,
09:52you going off on.
09:53All right,
09:54it's not all that bad,
09:54I've told you.
09:57Well,
09:58what a pair.
10:03First,
10:04you lose my gear,
10:07and then Flossie
10:09there ends up
10:10in the police car.
10:11My ulcer
10:13has doubled in size
10:14since you two came along.
10:17Have you anything to say?
10:20Have you tried Gaviscon?
10:23I want to know
10:24when this debt's going to be done,
10:25and I want it in writing.
10:29You are suddenly
10:30very sassy today.
10:32Get in.
10:36Not you.
10:38Just Flossie there.
10:41I'll be okay.
10:44Oh,
10:45I can see
10:45where's the trousers
10:46in your relationship.
10:47Why can't I come?
10:48Because I've got
10:49a splitting headache,
10:50and I don't want
10:50two teenagers
10:51yapping in my ear hole.
10:52John didn't finish
11:19shawing off
11:20behind mine.
11:24Sorry,
11:24look,
11:25I need to get
11:25to the village.
11:27But listen,
11:28it's not his fault,
11:29okay?
11:29Cain,
11:49I promise you,
11:50I didn't know.
11:51All right.
11:52All right,
11:52calm down.
11:54Don't want to be
11:54upsetting your mother.
11:56Why the phone silence?
11:58I just needed time
11:58to think.
12:00You know how it is,
12:01you know,
12:01when your son's been
12:01murdered by a family member
12:02from round of your nose.
12:04I didn't know.
12:05Tell him.
12:06Tell him you believe him.
12:08Tell him you know
12:08he had nothing to do
12:09with any of it.
12:14Look him in the eye
12:15and say he wasn't
12:17manipulating you
12:18about Anthony.
12:21What?
12:22Was he using
12:22what we did to Anthony
12:24as a way of keeping
12:25you quiet for the
12:26other things
12:26that he'd done?
12:28Just admit it.
12:30See,
12:30I told you,
12:31didn't I?
12:33You know what?
12:35I've always been a fool
12:36when it comes to you.
12:38He said that you'd
12:39blame him.
12:40I said he was wrong.
12:41We loved Nate,
12:45okay,
12:46and we are devastated,
12:47so you know what?
12:47Just get out.
13:04Getting lifted
13:05by the police like that,
13:07where you have brought
13:08trouble to everyone's door now,
13:11right?
13:12And have they been
13:13to your door?
13:15It's a figure of speech.
13:17Yeah.
13:19Yeah,
13:19just like you can do
13:20a few more drop-offs
13:21for us and then
13:22your debt will be cleared,
13:22right?
13:23And it will be,
13:24eventually,
13:25but there's the interest
13:26that them upstairs
13:27have added,
13:28and because you got lifted,
13:29and because you caused
13:30trouble,
13:31I'm afraid my hands are tied.
13:33Hang on,
13:34what interest?
13:35It's not a bank.
13:37It's just like a bank,
13:39actually,
13:39only slightly more terrifying.
13:40And all debt
13:42has interest.
13:44I thought you were
13:44the bright one.
13:46You should know,
13:47if you don't already,
13:48that I am a dingle.
13:49Right.
13:50Well,
13:51I should have worn
13:52my brown trousers.
13:53Yeah,
13:54well,
13:54on your head,
13:54be it.
13:55look,
13:57me and your
13:58family
14:00inhabit
14:01very different
14:03spheres.
14:04Now,
14:05I admire this
14:05all-new
14:06feisty you,
14:08but you're gonna have
14:08to do a lot more
14:09than that
14:10to scare me.
14:12What are you doing?
14:15Shut up!
14:15Come here!
14:23Come here,
14:23you little witch!
14:29Come on.
14:31Do what you like
14:32because I don't care.
14:33Good.
14:34Because I have a shovel
14:35in the back
14:36and I'm gonna dig a hole
14:37and stick you in it.
14:38Yeah,
14:38I'll lie down
14:39so you can measure me up.
14:40There is nothing
14:41you can do
14:42that's worse
14:43than what I've had.
14:43You reckon?
14:45Yeah,
14:45yeah,
14:45I do
14:46because my mum's dead.
14:47I was treated
14:48like dirt on the streets.
14:49My friend was murdered
14:50and I saw my baby girl
14:51dead on the toilet floor.
14:52So,
14:52yeah,
14:53why would you think
14:54I'd be scared
14:54of what you've got?
14:58That's,
14:59that's quite a list
15:00of disasters.
15:03Just call you lucky.
15:07Look,
15:08get in.
15:08No more funny stuff.
15:11Yeah,
15:11you're the clown.
15:13Well done for yesterday.
15:17Not everyone's got
15:18Duke of Edinburgh Awards
15:19and a squeaky clean past.
15:21Not even Jay.
15:23So,
15:23as long as you are clean now.
15:26Yeah,
15:27I am.
15:27Even Paddy can vouch for me.
15:29I don't need him to.
15:31This is your fresh start,
15:32yeah?
15:33Thanks.
15:35I'll see you at the depot
15:35tomorrow then.
15:37Don't mess it up.
15:38Sure about him?
15:44He needs a leg up.
15:46And I need a project
15:47to keep my mind off
15:47you-know-what.
15:49If John says anything
15:50about Anthony,
15:51it'll be worse for him.
15:53Not if he's got
15:53nothing to lose.
15:55He might even get a kick
15:56out of having his husband
15:57in prison with him.
15:58Who knows?
15:59Maybe he likes
16:00getting people sent down
16:01as much as he does
16:01nearly killing them.
16:04Find your brother.
16:05Speak to him.
16:06I will.
16:08Good.
16:09First he needs
16:10a shoulder to cry on.
16:12And then a plan for John.
16:14We've got to do something.
16:15Okay.
16:15So,
16:19it turns out
16:21they stole Rona's embryos
16:23and made baby
16:24Ive ate without
16:25her even knowing.
16:26You're putting me
16:27off my food.
16:29Yeah, but how strange
16:30is that?
16:32And also,
16:33are you sure
16:33it's not all the rubbish
16:34you eat that's making
16:35your alter worse?
16:36You're a dietitian
16:37now as well,
16:38are you?
16:39So how did
16:39your mum die?
16:42She killed herself.
16:43Oh,
16:45well,
16:46yeah,
16:47that's rotten.
16:49Is it as rotten
16:50as making kids
16:51sell drugs for you?
16:53It was to protect me.
16:55Oh,
16:55that's what they told me
16:56anyway.
16:58She was a copper.
16:59She jumped off
17:01a multi-story car park
17:02and took something
17:03wrong on with her.
17:07That was your mother?
17:09Yeah.
17:10No way.
17:11The bulls on her.
17:14The day that
17:16Gary North died,
17:17he was going to start
17:18cutting my fingers off
17:19one by one
17:20and then
17:20other parts.
17:23Your mum
17:24saved my life.
17:27Small world,
17:28eh?
17:28Mm,
17:29yeah.
17:30So if she did that
17:31for you,
17:32then maybe you could
17:33return the favour
17:33and let me and Dylan
17:34walk away.
17:36Don't push it.
17:37A debt
17:38is still a debt,
17:39Flossie.
17:40There is only one
17:41fairy tale ending
17:42in this relationship
17:43and I have got it.
17:44So out you get.
17:48You're walking.
17:50Play nicely
17:51after this
17:52and I'll put a good word
17:53in for you.
17:54I liked you, April.
17:55I like you.
17:57I might still
17:58have to kill you.
18:01But if I kill you first?
18:02Hi.
18:22Come in.
18:23Hey, Therese.
18:28Er,
18:29is Frankie here?
18:31Yeah,
18:31she's upstairs.
18:31We've just got back
18:32from Cara's.
18:33Erm,
18:34why are the police
18:35everywhere?
18:37Tracy,
18:38I, er,
18:38I need to tell you
18:39something.
18:40You might want
18:41to sit down.
18:43He's blaming you
18:44because he feels guilty.
18:47I mean,
18:47we all do it at times
18:48but
18:49Cain is the real
18:50expert.
18:53I just can't leave
18:54the village.
18:54Poof!
18:54Over my dead body.
18:58Well,
18:59well,
18:59you look
19:01awful.
19:02I told you
19:03to leave him alone.
19:06I had to come.
19:08It'll only take a minute.
19:10One minute.
19:11everybody was fooled by him.
19:26not you.
19:28I suppose we all revert back
19:33to types,
19:34don't we?
19:35I blame myself
19:36and then lash out.
19:40Cain blames everybody
19:41but himself
19:42and then lashes out anyway.
19:45Which type am I?
19:46Yeah, I told you so type.
19:51And you'll use it
19:52against me.
19:54Or use it
19:55to get back in with me.
19:56What are you doing now?
19:57Aaron.
19:58I want to help.
20:01Well, you can't.
20:03Nobody can
20:03because I'm stuck with it now.
20:06I had it under control
20:07on the gorge
20:08with John.
20:09I was getting through
20:09to him
20:10and then
20:10you showed up.
20:12You just can't help yourself,
20:13could you?
20:14Aaron.
20:14I don't even want to hear it,
20:15Robert.
20:16Just
20:16please,
20:19just leave me alone.
20:20Now's not the right time,
20:39Caleb.
20:40Listen,
20:41if the police don't find him,
20:43we will,
20:44trust me.
20:45See you.
20:46I just want to scrub
20:47everywhere with bleach,
20:49the whole place.
20:50And it was bad enough
20:51him turning us all
20:52against each other
20:53but letting me blame you
20:55for everything.
20:56He was sat right there
20:57when he did it
20:58in Nate's home.
21:01He's been laughing at us all.
21:03Come here.
21:04Come on.
21:09Why is he alive
21:11when Nate's gone?
21:17I've been worried sick.
21:19It's okay.
21:19I'm okay.
21:21I can feel people
21:22looking at me.
21:23Do you think that
21:24I knew?
21:25No.
21:26Where have you been,
21:27Robert?
21:27I thought you'd gone.
21:29Everything I need
21:30is right here.
21:32I'm going nowhere.
21:33Iab primero.

21:35I mean,
21:37I'll tell you.
21:42What is it?
21:43I will see you.
21:46I can see you.
21:47Go ahead.
21:48I guess you will.
