03:1224 hours a day
03:13but
03:13but
03:14oh Laurel it has been so hard
03:18hiding the truth from Vinnie
03:20what do you mean the truth
03:20about what I did
03:22and that I hate myself
03:23because every time he does something sweet
03:25kind and caring like he always does
03:28it makes it even worse
03:29what are you talking about Gabby
03:30when I went away to Portugal on my own
03:32I did something awful
03:33how awful
03:35I slept with some randomer that I met in a bar
03:39just the once
03:40and it was a mistake
03:41a terrible mistake
03:42Gabby
03:43you were engaged
03:44why
03:45I don't know
03:45it must be genetic
03:48because it turns out I am stupid
03:50selfish and self-sabotaging
03:52just like my mum
03:53who knew
03:54right Jay
03:58you better call me back
03:59now
04:00how's Vic doing
04:02keeping it together
04:03yeah she's getting there
04:05what about you
04:06from what I hear
04:08when you got banded up
04:09she believed the psycho killer's
04:11version of events over you
04:12just like the police did
04:13that has to hurt
04:14John could be very convincing
04:16well I suppose you can't blame her
04:18who's going to give an ex-con
04:19the benefit of the doubt
04:20huh
04:20Irene
04:21I didn't think they'd let you out
04:23of hospitals assume
04:24me neither
04:25I'm confident to go
04:27nothing short of a miracle
04:29I mean one minute
04:30that lunatic's pulling you off a cliff
04:31and the next you're standing here
04:33all your limbs intact
04:34yeah he's had a lucky escape
04:35he's not the only one
04:36I said to Jimmy last night
04:38it's weird
04:39there's CCTV everywhere
04:42these days
04:42but nobody has got so much
04:44as a glimpse of John
04:45since he walked out of the hospital
04:46yeah well he's Beck's army
04:47he'll know the score
04:48to vanish into thin air
04:49like that
04:50he's either got supernatural powers
04:52or he's had to avoid help
04:53from someone
04:53so what are you saying
04:56it's me
04:56why don't you just keep your traps shut
04:58all right Aaron
04:58you need to calm down
04:59and you need to back off
05:00did you hear that
05:02this is all on you
05:03I know you don't want me here
05:14but
05:14I couldn't leave things
05:16the way that they are
05:17me neither

10:59all that matters now is us
11:03we got through it
11:06we're okay
11:09now
11:13not now
11:17not like this
11:20you're the one who's chased me since you got out of prison
11:38and now all of a sudden you're not interested
11:39trust me I've never wanted you more
11:41so what's the problem
11:42do you even have to ask
11:43I'm not doing this
11:45look I've never stopped wanting you
11:48you know that
11:49but not like this
11:51you're rebounding
11:54you're vulnerable
11:54you're all over the place
11:55well you get taught that
11:58in a group therapy session in prison
12:00is you
12:00look what you've just been through
12:02it's massive
12:02it's life changing
12:03the trauma
12:05it's not even really sunk in yet
12:07and when it does
12:08it's going to hit you like a train
12:09us
12:10me and you
12:11kicking off again
12:13it's the last thing you need
12:14so that's your excuse
12:15it's the truth
12:17you're the strongest person I know Aaron
12:21but Chas was right
12:22it's all too raw right now
12:25best thing I can do right now is keep my distance
12:28my mum said that to you
12:31you know it'd mean a big investment
12:33so that's a no
12:36even before you've properly thought about it
12:38no I am not dismissing what you've just said
12:40well you haven't given me a single bit of positive feedback
12:42even after all the work I've done
12:44come here
12:46I know what this is
12:47the problem with trying to distract yourself from life with work
12:54is that when the work stops
12:56life's still there
12:57yeah I know
12:59I know and I know it's not about food trucks
13:02or alpacas or ponies
13:05it's just
13:05I needed to keep my mind busy
13:07so I wouldn't think about
13:09how I missed every single sign
13:12that John was who he was
13:13well we all did
13:16believe me
13:17hindsight is a wonderful thing
13:19right you
13:21come on
13:22you sit down
13:23I will make us that brew
13:24then you are going home
13:26you and Robert can start back in a couple of days
13:28clean slate
13:29and we'll just take it one day at a time
13:31alright
13:32Graham Connelly's trial
13:34aka Mike
13:36I always knew deep down that once I'd given a statement to police this had happened
13:40and now it's really you're not so sure
13:43no but it's going to be bad enough innit
13:45talking about what he did to me with some lawyer picking holes and everything I say
13:48I'll come with you so you're not alone
13:52and look
13:53I'd really appreciate that Cammy but
13:55what about Gabby
13:57all it'll take you know for some court reporter to put my name on the internet and then everyone
14:01knows don't they
14:01she knows about
14:02about Mike
14:03about everything
14:04she loves you
14:06she'll understand
14:08Gabby
14:09I've got to go pick up Thomas
14:11yeah yeah yeah
14:12you can't just tell me you sleep with a stranger and then just leave
14:15trust me
14:16telling you about the rest of it isn't going to make it any better
14:18we'll try
14:18come here
14:20when I went away to Portugal
14:25with mum
14:26she was on me the whole time about whether Vinny was the one or not
14:29gone
14:30and then
14:31we went out one night
14:34and mum won this limbo competition at the beach
14:37and we had way too many pina coladas
14:41and then the barman
14:42George
14:42it was
14:43charming
14:44and you forgot you were engaged
14:47but then all I could think about is how much I really love Vinny
14:50but it took a night with a stranger for you to realise
14:53hang on
14:56is that why Bernice wanted to call the whole thing up
14:58well
14:59before I went away things were really weird between me and Vinny
15:03it's like he was distant and distracted
15:06and it was even worse when I got back
15:07listen
15:08love
15:08if you really love Vinny
15:10you're going to have to tell him the truth
15:13what and risk losing the one guy that I've felt safe with
15:16who worships the ground that I walk on
15:18no I'm just going to do what mum always did
15:19and just pretend it never happened
15:22read it all behind me
15:23and just spend the rest of my life making up to him
15:26got paid today
15:33nice
15:35thought I'd go to the bank pull out some money that I owe you
15:38oh never
15:38ever
15:39hand over anything where people can see
15:42got it
15:43it's for your own good
15:46you can't be too careful flashing that much cash around
15:49so do you want it like that
15:51yeah
15:52good work kid
15:58you carry on like this
16:00you've cleared your debt in no time

16:07said that Nicola had a go at you
16:09you okay
16:09I know I might be living here
16:11right now
16:11and I know my life is a mess
16:13but that doesn't mean you can treat me like I'm five years old
16:15since when do you get to tell me what can and can't see
16:18oh you talk to Robert
16:19but he only lives over the road
16:20yes okay we might have had words
16:22but I didn't want you to end up in the state that you're in right now
16:24you are just out of hospital Aaron and you're vulnerable
16:27he played a part in all of this too he is bad news
16:31no he's not
16:31he knew there was something wrong with John the minute he met him
16:34and do you know what if I'd have listened to him I wouldn't have ended up in this mess
16:37I don't want you getting caught up in something again
16:39look I am I'm just doing my best I'm trying my hardest to help keep you safe here
16:44whilst John's out there mum I'll never be safe
16:46but you think Robert's the problem

16:59sorry sorry I've been busy
17:01okay well I want us to pick up Thomas and take him to the hide for pizza
17:04I think we need to have a proper chat
17:06about what?
17:07the adoption
17:08my solicitor called this morning and Jamie is officially an absentee parent
17:12so we don't need his consent
17:13oh so we can go ahead without him
17:15yeah we can start the whole process tomorrow
17:17so there's no reason not to tell Thomas
17:18I'm so excited for him you know
17:21he's going to finally have a proper dad
17:23and a solid forever family
17:25and for us
17:28it's going to be a brand new start
17:29and I'm so here for it
17:31all day I've been trying to get in touch with you

17:57to give you some time
17:58and space to consider your options
18:00to what's on the table
18:03sit
18:07alright this is my offer
18:15I'll make you executive director of operations

18:23that you stole from me
18:24from the offshore account
18:25plus I'll chuck in a sweetener on top of that
18:28then we call it quits
18:31so the money you conned me out of
18:34plus interest
