00:00Previously on The Bill
00:04Just don't call me again, okay?
00:05So that's it?
00:06DC Sim is a backstabbing, jump-top bully
00:09Nobody, and I mean nobody, is going to want to ever work with you again
00:11If he doesn't give evidence, this whole trial will come out
00:15I'm not going to do it, no
00:30Leave it to me, any news on Lucy?
00:43No
00:44I wonder if Terry's convinced her to let Bradley give evidence
00:47Well, Terry hasn't rung, so I assume he's bringing them in
00:50If my key witness isn't going to show, as prosecuting counsel
00:53I have a duty to tell the judge and will have to offer no evidence
00:56The case will collapse
00:58Could you just give me five more minutes?
01:01Well, I hope you're not holding out on me
01:03Are you taking us to school or what?
01:09Hang on a sec, Bradley
01:09Look at him, Terry
01:13He hasn't been himself for months
01:15You really want him to sit in a room facing a camera
01:19Telling a court full of strangers what his dad did to him
01:22Not just once
01:23Jonathan will be asking him questions
01:25Then there's a cross-examination
01:27He'll have to go through the whole thing again and again
01:31If that's not abuse, I don't know what is
01:34Lucy
01:36You knew this was going to happen
01:38I know what that defence woman did to you yesterday
01:42She is not doing that to my 13-year-old son
01:46That's Remini
02:03We have to get Bradley into court as soon as possible
02:07There's no second chances here, Lucy
02:08I know
02:09But I have to put Bradley first
02:11Bradley doesn't want to do this
02:13He only agreed because we asked him
02:17I've never told you about Ian Harper
02:20Ian Harper was abused by the same guy that abused Ben and me
02:25Except I don't believe it
02:26So he killed himself
02:28Not straight away
02:31It took him ten years before he laid down in front of a train
02:34The point is, Lucy
02:36That Bradley needs to know that what Ben did to him is wrong
02:40And he needs to know that because he was brave
02:42And he stood up
02:44It won't happen to someone else
02:46He's not a helpless victim
02:48He did something
02:49You have got no right to do this
02:51You are not his mother
02:53No, I'm not
02:55But I know what it takes to come back from something like this
02:58It's not a matter of days
02:59This takes years
03:00And sometimes
03:00Sometimes the only thing
03:03The only positive thing
03:05That a victim can hold on to
03:07Is the fact that they did the right thing
03:09Could you have done it
03:13When you were a kid
03:15Talk about what Willard did to you
03:18In front of a court of strangers
03:19I don't know, Lucy
03:22I've never got a chance
03:25Driving licence, please, sir
03:28Thank you
03:29Kevin
03:30I'll keep it
03:31I sell printer cartridges
03:33Mainly to businesses, obviously
03:34But if you've got an old inkjet that wants topping up
03:36I'm not proud
03:37You've got to look after the little man
03:39Just your licence, thank you
03:40You must be doing all right, though
03:43Gives the client confidence
03:45Sir Oscar 595
03:48Can I have a vehicle check, please?
03:50Go ahead
03:51A registration mark
03:52871 Lima Uniform Charlie
03:54Real vehicle check
03:56No trace lost or stolen
03:58Registered keeper in the Vitch Robinson
04:0042 Melling Road, Canley
04:03The number is Whiskey Bravo
04:04Alpha Bravo
04:05Gold 22
04:07Oscar 6
04:08Oscar Echo Tango 20
04:1017
04:106
04:11You're the original sleeping policeman
04:13I was just looking for leaflets
04:15I've done a PNC check on that BMW
04:17Owner's details don't match
04:18What, do you think it's nicked?
04:20It's not reported stolen
04:21But we need to check it out
04:21Morning
04:22Morning, sir
04:23Sir, what's the response of the public?
04:25No-one appreciates being stuck by the side of the roads
04:27Any news on your speed bumps yet, sir?
04:30I'm seeing the council later this morning
04:31Keep up the good work
04:33I suppose you were out painting the town red again last night?
04:39Me?
04:39I was tucked up in bed with a frozen pizza and reruns of the Sweeney, as per...
04:43Don't moan at me
04:44Go out
04:45I wonder if I could find someone to go out with
04:48Is there a problem?
04:50How long have you had this vehicle, sir?
04:52Two weeks
04:52So I'm guessing the registration documentation isn't in your name?
04:56It's in the post
04:56Mind pop in the bonnet, please, sir
04:59Why?
05:00I want to check the identification number
05:02I borrowed eight grand to pay for this car
05:08The chassis number doesn't match the index
05:10Plates have been changed
05:12That's impossible
05:13Sorry, sir
05:14But this car is not as it appears
05:16I bought it from a dealer
05:17Which dealer was that?
05:18Some dodgy geezer in a lay-by
05:20Howpen Cars
05:21On Darrow Way
05:22Cutting it a bit fine, aren't you?
05:29I'm sorry
05:29Lucy, you're up first
05:31I'll tell them you're here
05:32I'll look after Bradley
05:33While you're giving your evidence, sorry
05:34Terry
05:35Ben wants to talk to you
05:41Come on, let's get you settled
05:45What do you want?
05:50I don't know
05:51Thanks, ma'am
06:00Well, you wanted to talk, I'm here
06:12Is Bradley going to give evidence?
06:16You know I can't talk about the case
06:17It's a simple question
06:19Do I look like you're brief, Ben?
06:21Ask him
06:22You're making him do it
06:24He's your nephew
06:27How could you?
06:29What, does it make you feel better?
06:31Because you let me down, you've got to punish everyone
06:34It was Lucy's decision
06:35Sounds like you're passing the buck
06:36Same old big bruv
06:39Nothing's ever your fault
06:41I don't care
06:42What fantasies you've got, cocked at about me
06:46Bradley
06:47He's just a kid
06:49I know what you're doing here, Ben
06:51This isn't about Bradley
06:53You're trying to save yourself, aren't you?
06:55Even if I did
06:56What you think I did
06:59Is it really worth making him suffer that much?
07:04You've broken up his family
07:05Taken away his dad
07:07Haven't you hurt him enough?
07:09Ben
07:09It's not me that's hurting Bradley
07:13It's you
07:15You can stop all this now
07:17Just admit what you did
07:19I haven't done anything
07:23It's you seeing things that aren't there
07:26When all this is over
07:30I just hope you'll be able to live for yourself
07:39How was Ben?
07:54He's worried?
07:57Listen, I'd better get Bradley to the video over in this room
07:59Are you okay, Mum?
08:05We won't be prayers for each other yet
08:11Come on
08:13We've seen what the defence angle is
08:25Terry is a damaged victim on a witch hunt
08:28We have to convince the jury that it's the evidence
08:30Not Terry that's been driving this case
08:32Now, Bradley's statement is key
08:34But what we're putting him through
08:35Will all be for nothing
08:37If we allow the defence to undermine our credibility
08:39Before he gets to say a word
08:40Now, I'm sorry to put it so bluntly
08:42But what you say is vitally important
08:45It could tip the balance either way
08:48Yeah, can I book a taxi there?
08:55Are you very pleased?
08:58Look, can I call you back?
09:00Sir
09:00It's still working, then?
09:03What?
09:03Your mobile
09:04Kate's been trying to reach you
09:05She's got a scan today
09:06To check everything's okay after her scare
09:08And as you're the father
09:09She wants to know if you're going to be there
09:10Yeah, I know
09:11Well, are you or not?
09:13Look, I can't be at Kate's beck and call all the time
09:15As soon as she realises that, the better
09:16What's the matter with you, Phil?
09:20It was only a few weeks ago
09:22You were promising Kate
09:22She could count on you 100%
09:24Stay out of my life, alright?
09:25It's none of your business
09:26Hey
09:27Before I put you on County Irode with Tony and Amber
09:30Yeah, I'm on my way now, Sarge
09:31Yeah, never mind, I'm on my way now, Sarge
09:33Get out there
09:33What are you working on?
09:39Nothing
09:39Well, you must be working on something
09:41I'm not exactly snowed under at the moment
09:43Maybe I can do something to help
09:45Well, there's two things I can think of, actually
09:47Gary
09:47Sling your hook and bother someone else
09:49How's it going?
09:54Just because I made that complaint against Susie
09:55Everyone's shitting me out
09:56Whether Susie's been bullying you or not
09:58You're not too impressing anyone by crying about it
10:00The DI judges by results
10:02Well, how can I get results if I'm kept out of the loop?
10:06What are you working on?
10:07Nothing worth sharing, mate
10:08Well, I think we stumbled across a racket
10:09The bloke who sold him the cart
10:11Didn't take down a bin number
10:12Didn't have any paperwork
10:13Reckon he bought it off as someone in the trade
10:15So he thought we'd be straight enough
10:16We've got an address for this trader
10:18Somewhere in Walkman's Road
10:19Well, I thought that was all derelict
10:20Sun Hill, CID
10:23No, he's busy at the moment
10:25Can I take a message?
10:26You get here
10:26Travel agent
10:27Thanks
10:27Planning holiday?
10:32So what's that, then?
10:33A stolen car
10:33Possible from you
10:34All right, I'll come and pick him up, thanks
10:35Well, listen up
10:37I've got to pop off
10:37What about this job?
10:38Well, leave the paperwork on a desk
10:40And I'll give it to the vehicle squad
10:41Anything I can do?
10:49I swear by a mighty God
10:51That the evidence I shall give
10:52Shall be the truth
10:53The whole truth
10:54And nothing but the truth
10:55Mrs. Perkins, when did you first suspect
11:03That your husband was abusing your child?
11:09Mrs. Perkins?
11:10I came home one time
11:17And Bradley was in tears
11:19And Ben wouldn't tell me what happened
11:21There was a bruise on Bradley's arm
11:24It was obvious that it had some sort of fight
11:27But I couldn't get any answers out of either of them
11:29Was there anything else that worried you?
11:33Bradley's behaviour changed
11:35Suddenly, he couldn't bear to have anyone close
11:39He's a teenager
11:40Couldn't you have put it down to that?
11:42He was terrified of any physical contact
11:44He'd get angry if I tried to kiss him goodnight
11:48This had to be caused by something else
11:51And what did you think that was?
11:53I didn't want to believe it
11:54Because I loved my husband
11:56But Ben was getting more distant too
11:58He was drinking more
11:59When I tried to talk to him about Bradley
12:02He just shut down
12:03I tried to explain it in my mind some other way
12:06But in the end, I couldn't ignore the truth
12:08It had to be him
12:10Ham, no butter
12:13You want a drink?
12:21You've got to eat something, you know
12:22Is that OK?
12:24OK
12:24I know what they do to people like him in prison
12:34They get hurt
12:37He blames me
12:39Doesn't he?
12:41No
12:41No
12:46He's worried about you
12:50He's going to be angry after I tell everyone
12:52Put him in prison for good
12:55Bradley, this might sound weird
12:59But your dad loves you
13:00It's just
13:03He's just messed up
13:07You know, he's ill
13:08And with our help
13:10With your help
13:11He'll get better
13:13So you've got to do this for him
13:15And do it for yourself as well
13:17They're going to show the tape of your interview first
13:22Then they're going to ask you some questions
13:23Will he be able to see me?
13:27Yeah
13:27But you will only be able to see the barrister that's asking you the questions
13:31He'll see me
13:34Telling everyone
13:35Yeah
13:37He's going to hate me
13:40When you were first approached by the child protection team
13:44You were extremely hostile
13:45You tell them it was all a waste of time
13:48Is that right?
13:49I can't remember exactly what I said
13:51It's all in their report
13:53It's also true that when your husband felt he was being unfairly hounded
13:58You freely agreed to take your children and run away from the police
14:03You cut off ties with friends and family and gave up your job
14:06So you couldn't be found
14:07I was trying to do what I thought was best for my boys
14:11By staying with a man you'd suspected of abuse for nearly two years
14:14We were still a family
14:15I thought I could protect them
14:18That's why I gave up work
14:19So I never had to leave them alone with Ben
14:21But later you allowed the police to interview your son
14:24Why did you change your mind?
14:26I couldn't cope by then
14:27I was staying awake all night to make sure that they were safe
14:30Was that when DC Perkins took it upon himself to track you down?
14:34Terry found us, yes
14:35But if he hadn't come
14:37I would have gone to the police eventually, I'm sure
14:39So DC Perkins didn't influence you in any way?
14:42I knew what the problem was
14:43He just showed me the best way to deal with it, that's all
14:46You must be very grateful
14:48Can you tell me where you've been living since your husband was arrested?
14:54What's that got to do with anything?
14:56It would help if you could just answer the question
14:58Terry took us in
14:59DC Perkins?
15:01Yes
15:01Bradley, I've got to go
15:16Can't you stay?
15:19No
15:20What if I can't answer the questions?
15:23All you've got to do is tell the truth
15:24I'm scared
15:27Remember that deal you've got with your mum?
15:31You've got to be brave for her
15:32No one can hurt you now, it's just words
15:35I need the toilet
15:38Were you aware that DC Perkins told your husband that he was jealous of what you and Ben had?
15:47My client says he told you
15:52Ben mentioned it, yes
15:56When was that?
15:58I don't remember
15:58Of course, it was a difficult time
16:01A lot of things must have been said that are hard to recall
16:03Let me help you
16:04When did you last speak to your husband?
16:08Before he was arrested
16:09So you knew that DC Perkins coveted you and your family when you agreed to move in?
16:15I didn't mean it like that
16:17Still, if you knew he was jealous
16:21And he's helping you out so generously
16:23It must be a little awkward
16:26Sorry, I don't understand
16:29Well, for example
16:32If you were having second thoughts about this prosecution
16:35It would be hard to change your mind
16:37All Terry's ever done is try and help me and my kids
16:40Why do you think that is?
16:43Why do you think DC Perkins is so helpful?
16:46Because he's a good man
16:47You don't think it's because he wants to take Ben's place in your family?
16:51I'm still struggling to understand how the man I married, the man I loved, could abuse our son
16:58Do you really think I'd be interested in starting a relationship with his brother?
17:05What type of woman do you take me for?
17:08You have to admit it's a trifle convenient
17:10DC Perkins makes sure your husband is out of the way so that he can get what he openly craves already made for...
17:16Your Honour, this is too much
17:18Terry's had a tough life, but he would never take advantage
17:21Thank you, Mrs Perkins
17:22888 in attendance, this is the service of the Darrow Way
17:26The finance company want to call in the loan and insurance won't pay
17:34What do you expect me to do to?
17:35Give me another car
17:36One that ain't nicked
17:37Look at what he's done
17:39It'll wash off
17:41Yeah, I agree
17:42There's no harm, don't there?
17:43Why don't we forget the whole thing?
17:44No way!
17:45I'm ruined!
17:46I can't do any business without a car
17:48I'll hire one
17:49With what?
17:50I'm eight grand in debt because of you
17:52You could nick him, take it back to the shop and have a nice cup of tea
17:55Fair point
17:56All right
17:58All right, I'll go
17:59But you haven't heard the last of this
18:01I say car theft is a victim's crime
18:05You're letting them go?
18:06What about my clothes?
18:08Well, you could take it further if you want to do so
18:09I can't guarantee the local press won't get involved
18:12Are you sure you want the publicity?
18:18Gary, what are you doing here?
18:21The address on Waterman's Road, it was an empty unit
18:23I thought we gave the job to fill
18:24Well, yeah, he was busy
18:25I thought I'd have a word with the salesman
18:27You know, see if I can get a more detailed description of this trader
18:30I mean, that's a good idea
18:31I think the bloke's really iffy
18:33He's a car salesman
18:34What, you reckon he was looking the other way?
18:36Well, either he was involved or he knew he was buying a ringer
18:38You know, just going for the quick profit
18:40Well, if we're going to make a connection
18:41We need to find out what the original index number was from Kevin's BMW
18:44Well, we've still got the chassis number, so that shouldn't be a problem
18:46Just a matter of checking it back through the DVLA
18:48Let's get going
18:49Ladies and gentlemen, what you're about to see is a videotape
18:55Of Bradley giving his statement at Sun Hill
18:58Is Bradley okay?
19:02Dad, he used to come into a bedroom
19:05Did he do it often?
19:09Every week
19:10Sometimes twice
19:12Right
19:14Did you want him there?
19:18What did he say to you?
19:24I was his special little boy
19:26And that he'd always look after me
19:28And that I couldn't tell anyone
19:31While he was saying all these things to you
19:37Was he doing anything else?
19:40Cuddling me
19:41So he'd be lying on the bed with you
19:46Holding me
19:48Really close
19:50And?
19:57The night
19:58Before my birthday
20:00I remember
20:01Go on
20:01He started
20:04He started
20:07Touching me
20:09Have you lost something?
20:21Yeah, you've seen that job
20:23How did it go at the travel agent?
20:27Did you take that job?
20:29Well, I thought it might be worth a sniff
20:31Right
20:32Now, you ever traced a run car before?
20:35VIN numbers, chassis numbers, vehicle registration documents
20:38It does your head in
20:39Are you that desperate?
20:43Yeah
20:43Now, if the DI finds out you're wasting this precious manhouse on a big nothing
20:47He'll have you for breakfast
20:48But I haven't got anything else
20:50All right, take it
20:53But if you need counselling, don't come crying to me, all right?
20:56So what is this job you're working on, then?
21:03Sam, come on as personal
21:04Two tickets to Mopter?
21:08Yeah, it's the cheapest deal I can find
21:09Have you cleared the time off with Neil?
21:11No
21:11I'm sure he'll understand
21:13Really?
21:18Christine's taking Madison to Australia
21:20So you thought you'd compete with the week in the med, did you?
21:22I mean permanently
21:23All right, I might not see her again
21:26Now, I've been to the solicitor
21:27And he's told me there's nothing I can do to stop her
21:29Legally
21:30You're not planning to kidnap your daughter?
21:38Have you gone completely mad?
21:40That's rich coming from you
21:41Don't forget I helped you with Abigail
21:43Abigail was totally different
21:45I had to rescue her from a manipulative madman
21:50Well, Christine has her moments
21:51I just need a little bit of time
21:53Force Christine to reconsider
21:55Right, possession's nine-tenths of the law and all that
21:57It's not a permanent thing
21:59Oh, this is so typical of you, Phil
22:01Have you actually thought about what's best for Maddie?
22:06So what am I supposed to do?
22:08Turn up at the airport and just wave her off?
22:09Well, if that's what's best for her
22:12Yes
22:13Bradley, it's very important that we understand exactly what happened between you and your father
22:22It was like on the tape
22:26When you said how your dad touched you
22:29Yes
22:31Your father admits to telling you about being abused when he was a child
22:37Do you remember that too?
22:39Yes
22:40Bradley, how well do you get on with your Uncle Terry?
22:44Okay
22:44He's good to you?
22:46Yeah
22:46We play football
22:48Did your Uncle Terry ever talk to you about what we're speaking about today?
22:54He told me just to tell the truth
22:56And everything will be okay
22:58But did he talk to you before you made your statement to the police?
23:04He asked if I was alright, I think
23:06I'm not sure
23:08I'm concerned that your Uncle might have got you confused
23:12For example, did your Uncle Terry ever ask you if your dad had hurt you?
23:24He said he was worried about me
23:26Later
23:28When your mum took you to the station and DC Sim started asking all those questions
23:32Did you already know what everyone was worried about?
23:38I guess
23:39And you were still upset about what your dad had told you?
23:43Yeah
23:44Is it possible that you said something to DC Sim that you didn't mean to say?
23:53I didn't want to tell her anything
23:55But you did tell her
23:56Why was that?
24:01I wanted it to stop
24:02The questions?
24:04No
24:04My dad
24:05He...
24:06No one's going to blame you if you got confused
24:09I'm sure you love your mum
24:11And you look up to your Uncle Terry
24:13You knew what they thought
24:16Were you trying to please them?
24:20Or to get them off your back?
24:23It wasn't like that
24:25If your dad hurt you by saying something
24:28It's not the same as actually doing it
24:31You understand that?
24:33I'm not lying
24:34I'm not lying
24:34Why would I lie?
24:36Mike Smith's this off
24:37This is wrong
24:38You can't put him through this
24:39This isn't right
24:41You can't treat him like this
24:43Ben, please
24:43Sit down
24:44Now look, I admit it
24:46I did it
24:48I abused my unsan
24:51It's all over
25:09Everything's going to be okay
25:11Terry, hang on a second
25:14What's the matter?
25:16Terry
25:16Terry
25:18Terry
25:19Look
25:20Wait
25:22Wait
25:23This is what you wanted
25:25Ben's admitted to what he's done
25:27How can he be such an idiot?
25:30But he's accepted that he's abused Bradley
25:32I mean, it's the first step
25:33Why wait till now?
25:34Why didn't he do it a year ago?
25:36But you were pressing for this, Terry
25:37I did it
25:38Because I didn't think Ben was going to admit what he did
25:40Now he's faced up
25:41Prison is the worst place he could be
25:43Yes, he's going to go to prison
25:45But at least he's not in denial
25:47I mean, he can get help
25:48While he's inside
25:50Oh, banged up on a Rule 45 wing
25:52With head cases
25:53With repeat offenders
25:54Who think it's funny what they do
25:56If he shows any guilt
25:59They'll see it as a sign of weakness
26:01Terry, I know he's going to be vulnerable
26:03I went undercover on a Rule 45 wing
26:05Pretending to be one of them
26:07I've seen the faces
26:08They don't show to the coppers or the shrinks
26:10How they justify themselves
26:12Make like it's normal
26:13How there's some repressed minority
26:15Who no one else understands
26:16How do you think he's going to fare banged up with someone like that?
26:20Either they're going to smash him into little pieces
26:22Or he's going to start thinking like they do
26:24What chance does he have then?
26:25Talk to him, Terry
26:26Give him an idea of what he's up against
26:28Don't you think he's bricking it enough as it is?
26:30It's got to be better if he's prepared
26:32Now for goodness sake
26:33You've both been carrying secrets for far too long
26:36This is a chance to start being honest
26:38So
26:43What does a woman look for in a man these days?
26:46Good looks and loads of money
26:47I might not do about either anymore
26:50Going for a wee
26:52How's your love life, Smithy?
26:59Do you know what?
27:00I thought I was on the site
27:01But it turns out I was way off the mark
27:02The thing is, Smithy
27:05What I need to know
27:07Sarge
27:08That carjacking you were involved in
27:10Louise Larson's vehicle's been recovered
27:12Have you phoned Mrs Larson yet?
27:17No
27:18We'll see what
27:21Why don't I do that for you?
27:24Perfect
27:24It's all yours
27:25You did the right thing there, Ben
27:41You saved Bradley from a lot of grief
27:44My old son
27:47My beautiful boy
27:51My father
27:53Oh, God
27:57Be all right, Ben
28:03I won't be a sec
28:13I just want to check something
28:14Oh, yeah, I'm still here
28:17Oh, look
28:19I gave you the chassis number
28:20All I'm asking for is the original index
28:22It's not exactly rocket science, is it?
28:25Yeah, give it to you
28:25You get nowhere like that
28:27Hello
28:27Yeah, it's Mike Freeman there
28:30Thanks
28:30We did a car crime course together yonks ago
28:33Good kid with these people
28:34Mike
28:35Tony Stamps, Sonny
28:36Yeah, good thanks
28:38You still driving that old Cosworth?
28:40Listen
28:40We've got a bit of a rust job on
28:42The BMW, yeah
28:44Tony
28:45Tony
28:46Aren't we supposed to be at Cannelly High Road?
28:49Gary Best
28:50Cheers, Mike, I owe you
28:52He's going to chase it and get back to you
28:54Cheers
28:55Where's Amber?
28:57Well, I thought she was with you
28:58In that dating
29:01Gary, you really aren't an all-time lawyer, aren't you?
29:04It's not me, it's Tony, isn't it?
29:06He must have left it on
29:07Joe, honestly, what would I want with that?
29:15Well, he's not exactly flooded with offers, isn't he?
29:18Hey, maybe we should send Tony something else
29:21There are people where you're going
29:25That aren't like you
29:28They're hardcore abusers
29:29They don't feel guilt
29:30They're not sorry for what they did to these kids
29:33Promise me, Benny
29:35Promise me
29:35That you won't listen to them
29:38What does it matter?
29:40There's no way back from this
29:42Remember how you feel now
29:43How you're sorry for what you did to Bradley
29:46You can change
29:47I'm disgusted
29:49I'm filth, end off
29:51It's wrong what you did
29:52But it's not your fault
29:54You did it because you're sick
29:56Because of Willard
29:57Don't give me excuses
29:59I don't want to be let off the hook
30:01Okay
30:04That's how it works
30:10It's called the cycle of abuse
30:12How come you never abused your kids?
30:15Oh, you don't think it hasn't affected me?
30:17You don't remember how I was with my family
30:19Could never let them get that close?
30:20Yeah
30:20But you never did what I did
30:23I let them down
30:24I stayed at work
30:25I shut them out
30:26It's taken its toll, Ben
30:28We've both paid a price for this
30:30Yeah
30:30But you can walk out of here
30:33What happened that first time?
30:38Do you plan it?
30:39No
30:39It just happened
30:42I started talking about Willard
30:45And then
30:47And then
30:47And afterwards
30:50How did you feel?
30:52I don't know
30:53I can't remember
30:55I drunk myself sick
30:57Trying to blot it out
30:58You know, pretend it hadn't happened
30:59But you did it again, Ben?
31:01You promised it
31:05It's going to be the last time
31:06But it isn't
31:07You can't stop
31:10And every time
31:13It's worse
31:15So why keep doing it?
31:22Because
31:23When you're doing it
31:25It feels good
31:29How?
31:31How can it feel good?
31:32I don't know
31:33It just does
31:34You think I could ever see Bradley again?
31:47Anything's possible, I suppose
31:49I'm sorry
31:53I'm sorry
31:54Take this
32:15Things get too rough, you call me
32:16I'll do what I can
32:18My road safety campaign
32:27The councillor will be giving me the runaround
32:29Refusing to fund your speed bumps?
32:31A straight no
32:31Would give me more options
32:33I can't even get them to discuss it
32:35Who have you been dealing with?
32:36The councillor Young
32:37Probably worried about the suspension on this Jaguar
32:41You know
32:42Our powers are crossed
32:43Then we put in a few balls
32:45Louise, it's Sergeant Smith
32:49No, look, don't hang up
32:50It's about your car
32:51It's been recovered
32:52And it's at the pound
32:53So I need to arrange a time with you
32:54For you to pick it up
32:55And the sooner the better
32:56Because they're going to start the charger
32:57Zane
33:02How do you spell insatiable?
33:05You're not going to send that email, are you?
33:06Yeah, why not?
33:08I thought Tony was a friend
33:09It's just a laugh, that's all
33:11So to get back in with Joe and Phil
33:13You're going to dump all over uniform, is that it?
33:15You know what it's like
33:16I didn't see Tony drawing a line when you needed help with that car
33:19It's on the LCID
33:21Yeah
33:23Gary, Vehicle Squad
33:25They've got a trace on that BMW
33:26Gary Best
33:29What, you finished that email to Tony?
33:31Yeah
33:31Looks well, Stephen
33:33No, I don't think we should send it
33:35Too late, it's gone
33:37Nice one, Gary
33:40Okay, thanks
33:44Your traffic carbon measures will be given the consideration they deserve
33:49At the next meeting for the councillor's committee
33:51Well, I had no idea you were so well connected
33:52It's been a while, Adam
33:54We've both moved on
33:55Well, I'm glad we're having this lunch
33:56It'll give us a chance to catch up
33:58Sir
34:00It's on an amber
34:03Silly man, she'd be dead in her fetal shift
34:06She'd found a car in that corner
34:08So I might get her head down
34:08Where was she when you saw her last?
34:12I don't think a copper are you yet
34:13It's all right, lad
34:16You couldn't do us a favour, could you?
34:18Sorry, sorry
34:18Phil, front desk just called
34:24Someone's out there asking for you
34:25Cheers
34:26Mum
34:30What are you doing here?
34:34From what Steve tells me
34:36It seems you and I need a chat
34:38Such a picture of innocence
34:50Seems a shame to wake her
34:52Hey, hey, hey
34:53For the hour, Oscar
34:54Are you receiving?
34:58It's the second time I've caught you asleep
34:59I wasn't asleep
35:01I was just resting my eyes
35:02What were you up to last night?
35:05Nothing
35:05Sit down
35:15Tell me about this cake, girl
35:25Look, Steve has got no right shouting his mouth off
35:30Oh, you get a girl pregnant
35:32Now you're giving her the run around
35:33And you've no idea why Steve's so cut up
35:36I didn't think you'd have a clue
35:37Well, I'll tell you
35:38You remind him of his father
35:41There's no way
35:42I'm nothing like Dad
35:43Steve knows what it's like
35:46Having a no-good loser as a dad
35:48And now you're doing the same thing
35:50Not stepping up to your responsibilities
35:53I've got other stuff going on in my life
35:55Aside from Kate
35:55And that's stuff that Steve doesn't know about
35:57Oh, yeah, like what?
35:59Christine
36:00She's taking Madison to Australia
36:02She what?
36:03Yeah, she's got a job there
36:04Well, that's good
36:07You should be pleased
36:09Mum, she's taking my daughter
36:11And that upsets you, does it?
36:13Yeah, of course it does
36:14Look, I'm trying to stop her
36:15But there's nothing legal I can do
36:17From what I hear
36:19You can have a good life out there
36:21If you care about Madison
36:23Why stand in Christine's way?
36:26She obviously feels she can cope without you
36:28I'm her dad, right?
36:29I want her here
36:29What's so funny?
36:33How many years was it
36:34Before I even knew about Madison?
36:37It was complicated
36:38And you know that
36:39Well, it hasn't been complicated for a while
36:41And you haven't exactly made her
36:42Your number one priority
36:43Yeah, but I want to now
36:45Well, you can have her in the holidays
36:46Or you could even get on a plane
36:49And go and visit her
36:50If she's that important to you
36:52But I don't think you will
36:55Because let's be honest, Phil
36:58You weren't that bothered before, were you?
37:01How's Ben?
37:10Eating bits
37:11I'm not sure how much of what I said went in
37:15Thanks
37:17For everything
37:18You've been great through all this, I mean
37:20It's been tough on both of us, hasn't it?
37:23I've been looking for you everywhere
37:25And you'll find this one home
37:27Sure
37:28Um, I'll see you back at the factory
37:30Yeah
37:30Come on in
37:31I don't even know if the baby's mine yet
37:43But you slept with her and she says it is
37:46Yes
37:46Look
37:48I know this isn't the perfect romance
37:51But that baby didn't ask to be born
37:53Why should it suffer?
37:55Because you're a waste of space
37:56Mum, it's not as if I've ignored Kate completely
37:59You messed up
38:01Now you owe it to that baby to make the best of a bad job
38:05What do you expect me to do?
38:09If you really want to be a father
38:11Be one
38:14Don't wait till another one of your mistakes is getting on a plane
38:19I wasn't expecting you to be here
38:40I thought I'd give you a hand in the formalities
38:42Can we get this over with then?
38:44Right
38:45Have you got any identification?
38:49I need to put the details down on the phone
38:51Okay
38:52Right, it doesn't do you justice
38:59Can I have my keys?
39:02If you could just sign there
39:11So, do you do this often?
39:19Give a bloke the cum on and then slam a door in his face
39:21I didn't ask you to come round to my house
39:24What, are you worried that your old man's going to find out?
39:26I wouldn't want that to happen for your sake
39:27Why?
39:28What, is he the jealous type?
39:29He hangs out in certain circles
39:31You mean he's bent?
39:34I mean, it could be dangerous for a man in your line of work
39:37If you happen to get on the wrong side of some of his friends
39:39I can take care of myself
39:41Thank you for sorting out my car, Sergeant
39:46Look
39:49I'm sorry
39:51I just thought you were messing me about
39:55I wouldn't do that
39:57So when can I see you again?
39:59I don't want you calling me
40:00I don't want you coming round to my house
40:02Then I shall wait for you to call me
40:04I know you're on it
40:09You know, arrogance is very unattractive in a man
40:13It's not arrogance
40:15What is it then?
40:21Let's call it
40:22A copper's instinct
40:25I'll get off at seven
40:41See if you can get away
40:44So go on, man
41:02Tell me about this stolen car
41:04Well, it was nicked on our patch around three weeks ago, right?
41:07So I checked on Crimmin
41:08And there was an unconfirmed report
41:10Linking a stolen BMW to a repair shop in Naylor Alley
41:13Before it mysteriously disappeared
41:14Crimmin's have had that place down as suspect for years
41:17Well, I reckon that that's where they're switching the place
41:20And there was another job at Barton Street
41:21Some dodgy salesman running a scam through a legit show with him
41:24He did a flip with a hundred grand before they could catch him out
41:27It's got to be the same bloke
41:28So what do you want me to do, Gary?
41:31Get the DR to set up an obo on the off chance?
41:34The Manson's never going to sanction that, is he?
41:36I was wondering, you know
41:37Maybe we could keep a subtle eye on things at the garage
41:40I mean, if the MO is to knock off as many cars as possible, then disappear
41:44There's a good chance we could spot something
41:45I'd rather keep it official
41:47Look, I know it's a long shot, but I've got a good feeling about this one
41:50Come on, then, we'll take a look
41:53Don't get too excited
41:54If you're wasting my time, I won't be happy
42:04That's the salesman
42:06I told you
42:13It's in my blood
42:16Oh, no, you see, this is starting to look interesting
42:26Time to pay him a call
42:34Hang on a minute, let's do this properly
42:36Get your mates from uniform in
42:38Kate
42:42Didn't think you were coming
42:44I thought you might need some support
42:46There's only a check-up, I'm sure everything will be fine
42:48Look, you don't have to come in with me
42:50Yeah, well, I want to
42:52Anyway, I'll give you a chance to talk
42:53You reckon they're working on a stolen vehicle?
43:01Yep
43:01I've posted a unit round the back, so they're not going anywhere
43:05We may as well go in and take a look what they're up to
43:07Pretty embarrassing if it turns out to be a simple repair job
43:11Embarrassing, isn't it?
43:12All units, go, go, go
43:14Police
43:16Stay where you want
43:18Stop, police
43:19There's two
43:20I don't
43:26I reckon I know someone you owe eight grand
43:30So, what did you want to talk about?
43:37Well, you and me
43:38Is there a you and me?
43:41Because I wasn't so sure
43:42Look, I know I've been difficult to pin down recently
43:44But I've had a lot on
43:46It must be a tough life fighting crime
43:48It's not all about work
43:49Some of it's been personal
43:51Really?
43:53Look, I don't want to go into details
43:54But it's made me think
43:56And what does it make you think, Phil?
43:58Or that I want to be more involved with this baby
44:00What, even though it might not be yours?
44:03Can't want me being through that
44:04But I feel that it's mine
44:06And that's all that matters
44:06Okay
44:09So how involved do you want to be?
44:13Well, I want to be its dad
44:14I take on the full share of the responsibility
44:17Responsibility?
44:19There's a big word for people like you and me
44:22What does it actually mean?
44:26Okay, make some more feet
44:27Let's come through
44:30You try and make 11-7 cars these days
44:37If you lose, you'll break your heart
44:39Thanks, Phil
44:41This is a good result
44:42With a bit of luck, we can connect this with other vehicle thefts
44:44It's a DI about
44:45I thought I might go and break the news about the job
44:47Manson's not going to be impressed by one fluky collar
44:51Especially if you blow your own trumpet
44:53What you've got to do is build on this
44:56Until your record speaks for itself
44:57So I can't even mention it?
44:59It's a tough life
45:00Well, the baby's okay at least
45:09Look, I don't know why it's been so difficult
45:11I thought you would have been pleased
45:13Look, I'm thrilled
45:15I bet you want to be more involved
45:16But we've got to be realistic
45:18You know, we met at a support group for sex addicts
45:21We both reckon we'd given up sleeping around
45:23And look what happened
45:24Neither of us are what you might call 100% reliable
45:27Yeah, well, I want to be
45:28I mean, I can change
45:29Let's just see how it goes
45:32And wait

45:58Look, I'm being serious
45:59I can't believe you've just asked me to marry you
46:05It's a big step, though, Phil
46:08Because I'm going to have to think about it
46:11Next time, on the field
46:17Recognise this?
46:18Anton Swift?
46:22But I'm making small steps, you know
46:25Towards commitment and trust
46:27Stay where you are, Captain
46:28No
46:29No
46:29You stay where you are
