00:00Previously on The Bill
00:04Don't mess me around, Tony. Is my wife having an affair?
00:08If you've got problems with your marriage, it's your wife that you should be talking to.
00:13Um, June.
00:30Jim, it's me again. Where are you? Please bring me back.
00:39I just phoned Yvonne. Jim's at the pub.
00:40I've got to talk to him.
00:41Is that wise?
00:42I've got to do something.
00:43What will you tell him?
00:43I don't know.
00:44I'll drive it down there.
00:45No, I don't think that's a good idea.
00:47Come on, Jim.
00:50Can I have a scotch, please?
00:52Please tell me. It's Jim ordering a drink.
00:55Can I have a scotch, please?
01:00Come on, Jim.
01:05You spoke to June, I take it.
01:07Oh, I didn't have to.
01:09What do you mean?
01:10I found a wrapped round PC Valentine.
01:14I'm really sorry.
01:17But that's not going to help, is it?
01:21I lost a good colleague and a friend today.
01:27And then I found my wife is screwing around.
01:30June, I've dragged you out of the gutter so many times in the past.
01:36I certainly don't want to see you go back there again.
01:42Look.
01:44Ken's death.
01:46It should show you just how precious life is.
01:49Do you really want to spend the rest of your life staring through the bottom of a glass?
01:58Should have been me in that van.
02:00Come on.
02:02Ken had everything.
02:04Wife.
02:05Kids.
02:07Ken was needed.
02:09June needed you.
02:10I never thought she'd be unfaithful.
02:15And June.
02:17Maybe you should talk to her.
02:19There's no point.
02:20She's chosen it.
02:22I doubt that very much.
02:23No, she certainly doesn't want me, does she?
02:26She wouldn't have looked twice at Roger if it hadn't been for your gambling.
02:29How long have you known?
02:35A few days.
02:37You should have told me.
02:39I told June to tell you.
02:41You were our best man.
02:43Come on, Jim.
02:44Don't be bleating on at me.
02:46You chucked the marriage.
02:48And playing with that will not get it back.
02:50Well, thanks for your support, sir.
02:52Are you sure you're okay?
03:01Are you sure you don't want me to do it?
03:01No, no, no, I'm fine.
03:03Jim, I've been trying to call you.
03:06Oh, I see you brought Loverboy with you.
03:07No, he's just given me a lift, that's all.
03:09What's the matter, mate?
03:10You're too much of a coward to face me.
03:11I'm sorry you had to find out like this, but you can't blame Roger.
03:14Oh, so who is to blame then?
03:16You, for not keeping your knickers on.
03:18What?
03:19Oh, come on, Jim, calm down.
03:21Please, stay out of this, all right?
03:22You smoke bastards!
03:23Jim!
03:24Run!
03:24Jim!
03:25Jim, come on!
03:27Have you taken a knife and stabbed me through the heart?
03:30You could not have hurt me more.
03:32Oh, come on, Bill!
03:37Okay, Roger.
03:40Jim, wait!
03:42How dare you hit him!
03:43Ask revenge, June.
03:44Oh, don't try and play the martyr.
03:46Roger has absolutely nothing to do with you.
03:48Oh, of course it's not.
03:49I'm just your husband in name, if it's nothing else.
03:51Oh, and you think you deserve better, do you?
03:54Well, let me tell you, our marriage was over the minute you gambled our home away, the home
03:59that I had spent 20-odd years paying for.
04:03If you wanted me to leave, you should have said...
04:05I did!
04:06I left you a note before I went away.
04:09I left you my wedding ring.
04:10How much clearer can I be?
04:13I gave you one last chance to talk about it, and you wouldn't even bother to turn up.
04:18Look, I tried to get there.
04:20I thought, finally, we could try and work everything out.
04:23But our loan shark, Zach Adeli, he got to me.
04:25He beat me up, June.
04:26Typical.
04:27Look, I didn't have my phone, and I couldn't get to you.
04:29It was not my fault.
04:30No, it never is your fault.
04:32In your notes, you said you needed time away from me.
04:36But since you'd be back, you refused to talk about it.
04:38Because there's nothing to talk about.
04:40Because you have completely humiliated me.
04:43Oh, yeah, so why keep me in the spare room, giving me hope?
04:46Because I thought I was helping you.
04:50What was I supposed to do?
04:51Chuck you up in the street when Marie had just died?
04:52I didn't know what you might do.
04:56Marie was a tragedy, but I was fine about it.
04:57In actual fact, June, I thought it might help us finally break free of the past.
05:02You really are delusional.
05:04Hold on.
05:04Hold on.
05:04What are you saying?
05:05Are you saying if Marie hadn't died, you would have kicked me out straight away?
05:09Oh, this is typical.
05:10It's all about you, isn't it?
05:11Have you thought for one minute what you would have put me through?
05:15For once, I had decided to actually put my relationship before the job.
05:22I was out there planning a new life for us, and all the time, you were destroying everything
05:29that I'd ever worked for.
05:30Do you know, I was actually looking forward to retiring.
05:34I was excited about it, about spending time with you.
05:36I'd said my goodbyes.
05:38I'd had the party.
05:39And now, now, I am forced to pretend that retiring was all some big mistake.
05:46Have you got any idea what that was like?
05:48Yes, yes.
05:48Having to walk back into that shabby nick, having to stand up in front of that relief.
05:52I can hear them all whispering and speculating, and I'm supposed to be the one who's in command.
05:57Oh, come on, June.
05:58Everybody knows it was my fault.
05:59Yeah, yes, I'm absolutely sure they do.
06:03And I am just the old fool who falls for it time and time again.
06:08Look, I did not mean to lie to you, June.
06:10You didn't just lie once, Jim.
06:13You told me, first of all, it was 20 grand you owed.
06:16Then it was 60.
06:17You wouldn't know the truth if it came up and it hit you in the face.
06:20Look, I was trying to protect you.
06:22It was my mess.
06:23I was trying to clean it up by myself.
06:25Oh, well, that would be a first.
06:26I don't believe how hard you've become.
06:28I have had plenty of time while I was away to stew.
06:32Yeah, well, if you let me come with you, I could have tried to make it up to you.
06:36No, no, but you prefer to punish me by screwing Roger.
06:40Oh, don't flatter yourself.
06:42Oh, well, what else is it?
06:43You can't actually fancy that, private.
06:46I do, as a matter of fact.
06:48He's a nice man.
06:49He helps me forget.
06:50And you know what that's like, don't you, Jim?
06:52Going on a bender, spending the afternoon down the bookies.
06:56It helps block out reality, doesn't it?
06:58Well, the only time I stop hating you is when I'm with him.
07:09Look, I know how much I've hurt you, and I know how much I've let you down,
07:15but I honestly thought, at least by everything,
07:18you still love me.
07:21Do you know, I can remember talking to Tony just before we got married
07:42and saying that I knew you inside out.
07:46That I knew your gentleness, your kindness, I knew all your thoughts.
07:52I really thought I knew what I was getting.
07:56And I've never felt so happy, so secure.
08:00Neither had I.
08:01So why did you have to go and wreck it?
08:04When getting married, that was supposed to be a fresh start for us.
08:07And already, just a few months in, and it's too dull for you.
08:12It wasn't about, well, Jim.
08:12But what was it about?
08:14Look, I've gone over it again and again.
08:16I don't know.
08:17Then why gambling?
08:19How on earth did you get into that?
08:21I was working a job at the casino.
08:24I played on a table and I got a buzz.
08:26More of a buzz than you get with being with me, I suppose.
08:28Jim, Jim, look.
08:31You don't understand, do you?
08:33It just sort of escalated.
08:37The more and more the risk, the bigger and the better the buzz.
08:41Whatever the cost.
08:42Look, I am an alcoholic, Jim.
08:44Perhaps I just can't function without my eyes.
08:46Oh, don't use that excuse.
08:47You can't keep hiding behind that.
08:50Although, it's obviously easier than actually doing something about it, than just being happy.
08:54I don't want to be like this.
08:58Look, when I first started drinking, it was to fill a hole, so that I wouldn't have to think or feel or do anything about my life.
09:10Then there was the chaos.
09:14All those years of crap of living with a crisis.
09:19And when that was gone, when I finally had you, I felt I had to suppress it.
09:25I had to keep a lid on it.
09:26Oh, I should have spotted the signs.
09:31Oh, don't.
09:32Don't what?
09:33Play rescuer.
09:34I'm not playing rescuer.
09:36I'm just saying that crisis had become a way of life for you, and that obviously it was going to be very difficult for you to give it up.
09:42Oh, good old June, as understanding as ever.
09:44What is that supposed to mean?
09:45When I told you that I was £20,000 in debt, with hardly a rant or a rave, you simply wrote a check.
09:52Come on, I was furious.
09:54When you came back from the cruise and wanted me out of the house, it was you who decided that I couldn't cope with Marie's death and sorted out the spare room.
10:02Look, we wouldn't be in this mess now, June, if you weren't so hell-bent on controlling everything.
10:08When you found out that Gabriel was your son, I really wanted to be of help.
10:12I desperately wanted to be of his, but you just shut me out.
10:15Well, we weren't married then.
10:17After all these years, you never told anyone you had a child. Not Polly, not Tony, not even me.
10:24Hang on, this is supposed to be about you, not me.
10:26This is about us!
10:30I screw up, you pick up. It's the perfect match.
10:35Oh, come on, June. Talk to me.
10:37When I gave away my baby, I think that something stopped me from ever loving anybody ever again.
10:54I think that's why I'm drawn to men who can't be loved.
10:57Until you!
11:08I only wish I was worthy.
11:17Say this.
11:18No, I'm not.
11:19No, no, no, come on, come on.
11:27I can't lose you.
11:28Here we go.
11:50Oh, lovely.
11:51Can you put all this hurt and bitterness behind you, Jim, because I don't think I can.
12:04Do you love me?
12:07Look, I don't mean like you did. I know I've ruined that.
12:11But do you love me enough to give us one more chance?
12:14What is going to be so different this time?
12:17Oh, I think I'll recognise the signs and we'll be able to talk about it.
12:22Rob, what's going on over there?
12:25I'll have a guess.
12:27Do you think we should do something?
12:28Like what? We're off, Judy. Come on.
12:32I can't go through this pain again, Jim.
12:34I'm not saying it'll be easy, Jim, but I promise to put your feelings first, no matter what.
12:40I'll do whatever it takes to keep you.
12:43Wow.
12:45I love you, Jim.
12:46Yeah, but is that enough?
12:51Hey!
12:51Hey!
12:52Stop that!
12:53Get off me!
12:54Get out of me!
12:54I don't want it now!
12:55Hey!
12:56Hey!
12:56Hey!
12:56Back off!
12:57Hey!
12:58Back off!
12:58PC Carver, Sergeant Ackland Sunhill.
13:01What's going on here?
13:02Come on, how did this start?
13:03What's going on?
13:03The car's been wired, Jim.
13:05No, no, you don't.
13:05No, you don't.
13:06She made me nicky, right?
13:07I tell you, that's right.
13:08No, I'm not allowed to get me!
13:09I'm not allowed to get me!
13:10I'm not allowed to get me!
13:11I was already in the car when he picked me up and I had no idea.
13:14This is Sergeant Ackland off duty from Sunhill.
13:19Yeah, it's the junction of Rivermill Lane and Foundry Street.
13:23Suspected stolen vehicle.
13:24Registration goal.
13:25Five, three, four Foxtrot Tango Hotel.
13:28Don't, don't, don't do this to me, please.
13:29I've got enough fines to pay.
13:31Yeah, okay.
13:32Whose car is this?
13:33Yeah, the unit's on its way.
13:34They're checking the registration there.
13:35Hey, no!
13:36Oi!
13:37Come back!
13:39Come back, will you?
13:40Sunshine!
13:41Hey, stop!
13:43Oi, stop!
13:44Just, oh!
13:48Oh, sodding thing!
13:51I have never nicked a motor in me life.
13:56You check me record.
13:57Yeah, yeah.
13:59Save it for the interview.
14:03I tell you, I never normally comment like that.
14:06I never ever hit anybody, you know, not a girl, not, you know, not even people like that.
14:10I've never.
14:11Have you said so?
14:12Am I going to get done, you know, for, for being with her?
14:17I reckon taking and driving away is more serious.
14:21Do you think it's going to be in the papers?
14:23I doubt it will make the front page.
14:25It's just my family, you see.
14:27If they find out, especially my mum, they will not be impressed.
14:31Is that right?
14:34Well, you could be at home now.
14:36A warm and cosy.
14:38But no, no, you want to hassle me instead.
14:41You made your choice when you picked up that punter.
14:44You think he's a choice, too, you shagging losers to clothe my kids.
14:48I'm going to be in a cell all night, magistrates all morning.
14:51God knows when I'll get home.
14:53You think I've got a girl, you see.
14:55Well, I did have, but, er, she's left, and, er, whatever I did was wrong, really, so.
15:01But she's got a kid that's mine, you know, little Gareth, and, er, she swears he's not mine,
15:08but I know he is, and everybody says so.
15:11Because he's just bit an image of me, you know.
15:13Like, I've got a photo.
15:16I mean, look, I mean, you tell me yourself what you reckon, you know.
15:19I mean, you know, you can see for yourself, I mean.
15:22There's a likeness, yeah.
15:23Yeah.
15:25Everybody says.
15:25So, who's looking after your kids?
15:36The eldest girl's 15.
15:38She wants to be a nurse when she leaves school.
15:41She must be clever, then.
15:43I don't care what she does, as long as it's not this.
15:47Well, what happened?
15:49Men.
15:50Women, eh?
15:53Root of all evil.
15:54I think you'll find that's money.
15:57Yeah, well, she cleaned me out of that as well, my ex.
16:00Supposed to be a fresh new life.
16:03What a joke.
16:06What happened to the old one?
16:09I don't know.
16:10Big family.
16:12Just didn't fit in.
16:12What about you?
16:16What about me?
16:18What?
16:19Well, you coppers can ask questions, though, can they?
16:26Nothing to tell.
16:27I was an only child, end of story.
16:30How did you get into Tommy?
16:32I got pregnant.
16:34My mum kicked me out.
16:35I had nowhere to go, so I got myself over-tired up and went capping on to the father.
16:40He was working down a bar in the Ivy Ridge Hotel.
16:42They were sad, didn't want to know.
16:45So where'd you go then?
16:46Nowhere.
16:48Just sat there, drowning me sorrows.
16:50Then I got picked up by a guest.
16:52He offered me 30 quid to go up to his room.
16:54I thought, why now?
16:55Then in the lift on the way down, I got chatted up again.
16:58Only this geezer offered me 50.
17:00The bump was a winner.
17:03I don't know how you do it.
17:05I've got to look after me kids.
17:08Oh, no bloke on the scene, then?
17:09No decent fellas ever wanted me.
17:14Probably better off on your own.
17:15When I was young, all the mates wanted to be pop stars or hairdressers.
17:19I just wanted a smart house and a new estate.
17:22A garden full of kids and a nice, sweet-smelling bloke to go look to.
17:25Well, you've got time on your side.
17:27Nah.
17:28Nah, don't even mess it up.
17:30You have to harden up your heart to live this kind of life.
17:36You've got your kids, though.
17:39Yeah.
17:41Thank God I've got them.
17:42I've really cocked up this time.
17:55She practically did jump me, mate.
17:56I tell you, she...
17:57I mean, you know, I can't even buy her a car.
17:59You've got all the excuses, haven't you?
18:02Yeah.
18:05I don't want to be like this.
18:08I do want to change.
18:10I want to get better.
18:11The trouble always seems to follow you around, yeah?
18:19Yeah.
18:21You can just take me and drop me on a desert island.
18:25That way I'm not going to be any harm to anybody, am I?
18:41We'll have to go to Barton Street to give statements.
18:49But we should be at home, sorting our own lives out.
18:52You're right, Jim.
18:57We can't throw all this away.
19:02I know it's going to be difficult, but...
19:04I think we can make a go of it.
19:08Jim.
19:08I don't like what I've become without you.
19:11Angry, bitter.
19:13I'll drive you to that.
19:14I want to trust you again.
19:18And love you completely.
19:27That's all I wanted to hear.
19:33But we can't go back.
19:35Look, I want it so much, but it just won't work.
19:38I recognise how they are.
19:43What do you mean?
19:46When we got married, I suddenly had everything I'd always wanted,
19:51and I still managed to screw it up.
19:54But you said you'd know the signs this time.
19:57You said it would be different this time.
19:59Yes, look, I've got all the answers in my head.
20:01When it actually comes to living here,
20:02I don't think I can do it.
20:05But you've just spent the whole night convincing me that you can.
20:08I have got to leave you, Jim.
20:10I have got to leave Sunhill.
20:11I've got to leave everything that I know.
20:13It's the only chance I've got of changing.
20:16Look, you said it yourself.
20:18Above all, I have to sort myself out.
20:20And if I stay,
20:23you'll keep rescuing me.
20:25Again.
20:26And again.
20:29You know this is the right thing.
20:34Admit it.
20:38But it's what I'm good at.
20:39Oh, come on.
20:40You'll just be waiting for the next time.
20:43And I can't keep putting you through this.
20:45I was prepared to take the risk.
20:51You deserve better.
20:57Goodbye, Jim.
20:58But Jim, what are you going to do?
21:05Where will you go?
21:06I don't know.
21:07Desert Island, maybe.
21:09But Jim...
21:10Goodbye, Jim.
21:15Right, Carla, let's do it.
21:35Next time on The Bill.
21:44Don't even think about it.
21:47I know about you and Andrea, so you don't have to pretend.
21:48But Andrea was telling me things about Gabriel that make your ass stand on end.
21:52I don't want to speak to anybody.
21:55If it gets out that you had an affair with an undercover journalist,
21:57then could possibly smell the end of your career.
21:59That's what happens.
22:00Remember to tell us about how to make him a good one.
22:00Yeah.
22:01When the facilities work around him,
22:02you'll have to push out the Robertson to scare you out of your arc.
22:04Where are you going to do it, too.
22:04What work in your career?
22:05Go to the Chi in and our company.
22:06Go to Canada.
22:06Go to Canada.
22:06I don't have to do it.
22:07Go to Canada.
22:08Go to Canada.
