00:00Thank you for listening.
00:30Something you want to share with me?
00:41Eh?
00:42Well, if you're about to walk out on me, you could at least leave me a letter.
00:45Or is that a bit old-fashioned now?
00:46Ha, it's just business.
00:49Long story short, I've got a big contractor in the delivery.
00:51Need to get a van, up to Hull, and then get on the ferry over to Rotterdam.
00:55Rotterdam?
00:57But why you? You never do the driving.
00:59Yeah, I know. Tell me about it. We're understaffed, so needs must.
01:02I should be back tomorrow.
01:03It's not the best timing, is it?
01:05Oh.
01:06I'm sorry. If I had a choice, you know.
01:11Hey, sorry it's early.
01:12Oh, we're up early anyway.
01:13Just came to get some stuff for Aaron from the flat, but the police are still there.
01:19They wouldn't let me in at first.
01:20That's annoying. At least if they're still there, it means there's less chance of the other person making an appearance, which is good for all of us.
01:28Saw Cain yesterday.
01:30Saw?
01:30What? I heard him shouting his mouth off at everyone.
01:33Yeah, it's not in a good way.
01:35Yeah.
01:35Look, and I get that he's struggling, and of course he is, but he needs to stop taking it out on everyone else.
01:41Aaron's a mess.
01:42Doesn't need his uncle making things worse.
01:46Business?
01:47Yeah. Bag hair going. I'll see you later.
01:51Oi.
01:53Ah.
01:54That's...
01:55Hmm.
01:57Call me when you get there.
01:58Try not to worry about Aaron, yeah?
01:59Yeah.
02:01See ya.
02:02Bye.
02:08You're a mum.
02:09The worry never stops, does it?
02:11I know.
02:13And I keep telling him there's nothing to be scared of.
02:15But the truth is...
02:17I'm just as worried. I mean, what if John does come back?
02:20Well, like we said, with the police there, he needs to be gone and stay gone.
02:24Yeah, but that's what any normal person would do, but he's not a normal man, is he?
02:28He threw himself and my son off a cliff.
02:30And now Aaron's in that hospital bed with all these thoughts going round in his head,
02:33and there's nothing I can say to make it better.
02:35Yeah.
02:47I don't do things based on how I feel.
03:01I do based on who I am.
03:05And who I am is that.
03:06I am that guy.
03:08Who are you when nobody's watching?
03:10Well, I'm a winner.
03:11Are you that person that steps up?
03:13All the time.
03:15Every time.
03:16You are the author of your own story.
03:19Are you ready to write the next chapter?
03:21Just pass me the pen and paper, baby.
03:23Well, I've got a pencil.
03:24What'll that do?
03:25Kellum!
03:26What are you doing, Jay?
03:28I told you to stay out of my office.
03:30Yeah, well, you said...
03:31Well, I wasn't expecting you.
03:32Because, er...
03:33Well, it's early.
03:34What?
03:35You think that gets you extra credit?
03:37No, no, no.
03:38It's this business group thing.
03:39Yeah, they reckon that starting early equates to better...
03:43I really don't care, Jay.
03:44Just get all your stuff together.
03:45You need to be at a meeting in Leeds in the next hour.
03:47What?
03:48Since when?
03:49I'll send you an email.
03:50Don't be late.
03:51A meeting about...
03:53It's all in the email.
03:56You're always banging on about extra responsibility.
03:58This is what extra responsibility looks like.
04:01Unless you're not up to it.
04:02No.
04:03No, no, no, no.
04:04I'm all good.
04:05Er, yeah.
04:06Yeah.
04:07I'll be there.
04:08I won't let you down.
04:38Whoa, you obviously like hospitals as much as I do.
04:57The worst thing about these places,
04:59they don't serve wine.
05:01It's when we need it most.
05:02We need to get going quick.
05:12I'm not stupid, Caleb.
05:15You what?
05:16You probably spent all night thinking of ways you can win.
05:19This isn't about winning.
05:21No.
05:22It's about keeping your family out of prison.
05:24Oi.
05:41Oh.
05:43Have you got a good reason for being back here?
05:45Yeah.
05:45I've been ringing and ringing and ringing.
05:48There's no name on the email that you sent me.
05:50I don't know who I'm meeting.
05:51It's Gary Glynn.
05:52He's the managing director.
05:53And he really doesn't like it when people are late.
05:55Were you talking to someone?
05:57What?
05:58Well, behind the van, I thought I could hear voices.
06:00Yeah, I was on the phone to Ruby.
06:01Is that okay with you?
06:02No, it's probably why I couldn't get through to you.
06:03Yeah, probably.
06:04Right.
06:05Well, get a move on then.
06:06Yeah.
06:07Gary Glynn.
06:08Gary Glynn.
06:08This is why you didn't want to go yesterday, isn't it?
06:32You wanted someone to find me.
06:33If I really wanted someone to find you, I would let him see you right now.
06:37I'm warning you.
06:39Do not play games with me.
06:41Don't forget.
06:42I'm the one holding all the cards.
06:57You don't need to be here.
06:58I know.
07:00But here I am.
07:04I probably wouldn't want to see anyone either.
07:08Do my head in.
07:10All the questions, all the sympathy, all the understanding.
07:16Wouldn't it be worse, though?
07:17No one cared.
07:18I don't need people to go.
07:20Yeah, you do.
07:21We all do.
07:25We have both been hurt, damaged, whatever, by people we loved, people we thought we could trust.
07:32Yeah.
07:35And I've got to let it happen to me all over again.
07:50What are you playing at?
07:57Can't be anywhere near the book.
08:01Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
08:05You are making a big mistake.
08:07Get out.
08:09See those cards you're holding?
08:10I'm tearing them up.
08:19So what?
08:20Hmm?
08:22You're just going to shoot me here in the middle of nowhere?
08:24I know when I'll find you.
08:30You want me to look scared?
08:32It's not the first time I've had a gun pointed at me.
08:34Oh, well, they must have missed.
08:35But I won't.
08:37You've had your fun.
08:38But we can forget this ever happened.
08:40You can get back behind that wheel, and we can go back to the original plan.
08:45You killed my nephew.
08:46That would be the nephew whose wife ended up in your bed.
08:49You are a very brave man.
08:55Aren't I?
08:58Because I'm thinking, if you were going to do it, you'd have done it already.
09:03Oh, no, sorry.
09:05I think there's been some kind of misunderstanding.
09:07See?
09:08I'm not the one who's going to put a bullet in your brain.
09:10Kate?
09:16Kate?
09:20Kate?
09:20Move.
09:42We're there.
09:46What?
09:48I just need some time with him first.
09:50I'm alone.
09:52Don't let this happen.
09:54This is not the end, Caleb. It's just the beginning. Move!
09:58I ignored all the red flags.
10:02And there was a lot of them.
10:04So all of this is on me.
10:07No, Aaron. None of this is on you.
10:10He had everybody fooled.
10:13Not everyone.
10:16Mackenzie and Robert kept telling me there was something wrong with him,
10:19but I just didn't want to hear it.
10:25Yeah, people have a way of finding excuses for what they do.
10:29To make the victim feel like it's all their fault.
10:33I swore I'd never be a victim again.
10:39And I've let it happen.
10:43I wanted me and John to work so much.
10:49And I just let it happen.
10:53Did I tell you to turn around?
11:05I'm sorry, Cain.
11:09I really am sorry.
11:11I know what you must think of me.
11:13How much you must hate me.
11:15I would hate me too.
11:17I swear to you.
11:19I did everything I could to save him.
11:21I never meant to hurt him.
11:23The medication.
11:25He had a really bad reaction to it.
11:27There was nothing else I could do.
11:29If I could go back...
11:31Not now.
11:33Being a part of your family, it meant everything to me.
11:37You've lost a son.
11:38I didn't lose him.
11:40You killed him.
11:41And then you wormed your way into my family.
11:43I didn't know what else to do.
11:44You made everyone think that it abandoned us.
11:46And I hated it.
11:47And then you even turned up at his funeral.
11:50Carried his coffin.
11:52You said Tracy's words and then you watched me put my son in the ground.
11:55You're sick!
11:56And I felt sick.
11:58To my stomach with the guilt.
11:59You don't know what guilt is.
12:02You played your little games.
12:03Hurting people.
12:04Ended up killing people.
12:05All so you could try and play the hero.
12:08No.
12:09You're pathetic.
12:11Desperate.
12:12For somebody to notice you.
12:14Because you have never been noticed, have you Johnny?
12:17Because you are a nobody.
12:18No.
12:19Yes!
12:20A nobody.
12:22The little kid with no friends, with nothing.
12:25The little kid who grew up into it.
12:27A little man.
12:29An insignificant.
12:31Lonely.
12:32Tragic little man.
12:34He hated you.
12:36Yeah.
12:37Nate.
12:38The son that you loved so much.
12:42He died.
12:43Hating you.
12:55Well Barton is glad I never got to meet Jack.
13:15But Nate.
13:16He made the mistake of letting himself think that you loved him.
13:22But then you proved him wrong all over again.
13:27I suppose you never got over the whole sleeping with your wife thing.
13:33He forgave you a lot of things but you never really forgave him that did you?
13:38Did you?
13:39Not really.
13:40Not really.
13:41Not really.
13:42Get up.
13:43Okay.
13:44I gave him a chance, but he didn't take it.
13:45Get up.
13:46Get up.
14:06Kate, I gave him a chance but he didn't take it.
14:10Get up.
14:12Get up!
14:14Move!
14:16Maybe I shouldn't say this, or it's another thing you don't want to hear.
14:25But he did love you.
14:30And he wants to be loved by someone like that.
14:35Someone as pathetic as me.
14:38You are anything but pathetic.
14:42It's what people will be thinking.
14:44Who cares what people think?
14:48You know the truth.
14:49Do I?
14:53I don't even think I know what was...
14:55real and what wasn't.
14:57My whole marriage was...
15:01I never trust anyone.
15:10But he made me think that I could trust him.
15:15And I'll never make that mistake again.
15:17What you have been through in your life...
15:25most people wouldn't be able to get their heads round.
15:31I can only understand part of it.
15:32But it shows how strong you are.
15:37That you keep coming back.
15:39And you will come back from this.
15:43Yeah, there'll be times, lots of times, when you feel like you're on your own.
15:47But you were there for me, Aaron.
15:49And whenever you need me...
15:53I will be there for you.
15:57Every...
15:58time.
16:08No.
16:09No.
16:10Get in.
16:11Get in!
16:12Get in!
16:15You found a resting place.
16:17Better than a lake.
16:18Don't say...
16:20I didn't warn you.
16:21Well, I've already told you.
16:22Oh, yeah.
16:23Yeah.
16:24And you were tearing up the cards.
16:25Well...
16:26We'll do what you have to do, but there will be consequences.
16:29You're not talking your way out of this one.
16:31A scheduled email...
16:32is gonna be sent to the police detailing everything...
16:35that happened to Anthony.
16:37And if I'm not alive to stop it, it'll be sent first thing tomorrow morning.
16:40And we all know what'll happen next, don't we?
16:43Huh?
16:44Yeah.
16:45That's right.
16:46Your whole family...
16:48will be sent down for this.
16:49Ruby...
16:50will go down for murder.
16:52He's lying.
16:53Well, what if he's not?
16:59That's her.
17:00Isn't it?
17:01You wanna fill her in?
17:03Shut up.
17:03After everything that poor woman has been through.
17:06He's just trying to get in your head.
17:08Oh, I think I'm already there.
17:10He would have said something straight away.
17:12Honestly, I didn't think we would get this far.
17:14I thought you would listen to me...
17:16and understand that everything that happened was a terrible mistake.
17:18It was an accident.
17:19I'd forgive you and let you live.
17:21Oh, my life's pretty much over whatever happens.
17:25I ruined it.
17:27But you do not have to ruin yours.
17:28If you have blood on your hands,
17:32it cannot be washed away.
17:34Is that what you want?
17:35What if it's your blood?
17:36If that email doesn't exist...
17:38Oh, it exists.
17:40I don't think I'm gonna be giving away passwords
17:41because it is all encrypted.
17:43Right, I'm gonna have to answer this.
17:48She'll know something's wrong.
17:50Maybe it'd be best to keep her in the dark about this.
17:52Hey.
17:53What she doesn't know
17:54cannot hurt her.
18:03Oh, finally.
18:04I thought you were banking me.
18:06Nah, don't be dafted.
18:08Just had to step out of hand for some air.
18:10Miss your call.
18:11What's up?
18:12Nothing.
18:13I just wanted to check everything was okay.
18:15You were being weird this morning.
18:18That's just because I needed to be somewhere
18:21I didn't want to be.
18:22I'm all good, honestly.
18:24Then I'm good.
18:25I think.
18:27You think?
18:28Just everything with...
18:31Him, Anthony, just all comes back.
18:35Ruby, it's never coming back.
18:37Do you hear me?
18:39I wish you didn't have to go away.
18:42I'll be back.
18:43I'll be back soon enough.
18:45You are okay, though, yeah?
18:47Yeah, I'm fine.
18:50Drive safely.
18:51Always.
18:52I love you.
18:54Yeah, I love you too.
18:55How is she?
19:04Okay?
19:06The only way to save her,
19:08and your family,
19:10is to let me go.
19:11Well, now that's gonna happen.
19:14Kane.
19:15You don't actually believe him.
19:16Every word that comes out of his mouth...
19:17It's just me protecting myself.
19:19Yeah, that's right.
19:21But this is me protecting your wife, too.
19:25What if he's telling the truth?
19:26Yeah, and what if he's not and he walks away?
19:28Is that a gamble you're willing to take?
19:29Listen.
19:30Right.
19:31You don't do anything for Nate
19:33by killing his murderer.
19:34And the last thing that he'd want
19:35is you back in prison again.
19:36You need to think about your family.
19:37Yeah, but you're not thinking about my family, are you?
19:39You are my family.
19:41We're all in this.
19:41Listen to him.
19:43Now, you can stand there.
19:43You can point that gun at me.
19:45But the noose...
19:47The noose is around all of your necks.
19:50You have a way of making people believe you,
19:52but not anymore.
19:53That ends right now.
19:54Kane, no!
19:54Please.
19:55Every part of me wants to kill you.
19:57Kane!
20:03Well, I'm not gonna.
20:07Because I'm not you.
20:11Right.
20:13So.
20:13So.
20:15He spends the rest of his life inside,
20:18stuck in a concrete cell.
20:20Well, he could still talk.
20:21Sorry.
20:23Prison was never part of this deal.
20:25You can put me down,
20:27and the email gets sent.
20:29Or you can send me down,
20:31and the email gets sent.
20:33Are you listening to him?
20:34Yeah, but if he sends that email,
20:37and Aaron goes down,
20:38if there's one thing I believe,
20:41is that he actually does love him,
20:43I don't know if that's a risk I can take.
20:47Yeah, but it's not your decision.
20:48This isn't just about you anymore.
20:49He's got to pay for what he's done.
20:51What, so we all end up paying?
20:52Is that what you want?
20:53I just...
20:53No, I just want...
20:54I need justice.
20:56All right, and to hell with everyone else.
20:57No, to hell with him.
20:58Look, Cain, I can't let you do this.
21:00Yeah, but you killed my son.
21:01Yes, I know, and I'm sorry,
21:02but there's nothing that you can do
21:04that'll ever bring him back.
21:06That is the last mistake you're ever going to make.
21:09Don't, Cain!
