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