00:00I know I'm the last person you want to see, but I didn't leave my phone here yesterday by any chance.
00:04I still can't believe you've been staying.
00:05How long has Frankie known?
00:06She's going to sell Lucas now, isn't she?
00:08I feel like I'm losing control.
00:10These might help.
00:10I think my life's about to blow up, and I don't want to be sober when it does.
00:13My brother was the furthest thing from my mind, and now he's just back at the forefront again.
00:18I wish I was something I could do to help.
00:19JJ was attacked in prison this morning.
00:21I'm really sorry to have to tell you this.
00:23JJ's dead.
00:30JJ's dead.
01:00She hasn't slept in her bed.
01:02It's going to voicemail.
01:06Frankie's gone.
01:12What's up?
01:14Ah, you muppet.
01:16Steve?
01:18Are you okay?
01:19Come on.
01:26Hey, have you seen Frankie?
01:27Supposed to be meeting her.
01:28You're not the only one.
01:30I'm a rolling stone.
01:31So you better run, run, run away, run away, baby.
01:36Look, that is not good enough, Donnie.
01:39She's in a vulnerable state.
01:40We only just found out JJ was murdered yesterday.
01:43Which is why we're going to report Frankie as a missing person.
01:45We'll do our best to find her.
01:47Well, that's not enough.
01:48You know, from experience, we take situations like this very seriously.
01:52But we can't divert all resources to one case.
01:54Sally?
01:55Have you heard from Frankie?
01:57No, why?
01:57She slipped out last night.
01:58She's vanished and now her phone's off.
02:00Vicky and Dylan will have an idea where to look.
02:02In the meantime, we'll get our beat officers out to keep an eye out.
02:04We will find her.
02:10She won't have gone far.
02:12First I lose my son.
02:14Now my daughter's who knows where.
02:15No, I'll get on to her mates, you start looking around the village.
02:17Yeah, I can hold off my other work and focus on this 100%.
02:20Thanks, Sally.
02:21I'll message as soon as I find anything.
02:23Thanks.
02:31Hey, if my world's about to erupt, let's have it.
02:35Maybe we should call it quits now.
02:37No, no.
02:39She's another pill.
02:40Only the best from Gemma Johnson.
02:41Because I've not read it first reality yet.
02:44You?
02:46Social services.
02:48I've got them.
02:49I'm meeting for our James tomorrow.
02:52I need to text Dylan back.
02:53No, no, no.
02:54You're not doing that.
02:55I'm not stopping that.
02:56Hey.
02:57I'm going to turn that frown upside down, yeah?
03:00Something's misregorts.
03:02Oh?
03:03You're not my misregorts.
03:06Something's not right here.
03:09Why'd Frankie invite us here both at the same time?
03:11She knows we're not in a good place.
03:12Maybe she wanted to get us to a good place.
03:14You should be more concerned about her dead brother, don't you?
03:16What?
03:18Who died?
03:19JoJ.
03:21Yesterday.
03:22Oh.
03:26Shouldn't we help her get through this together, then?
03:28We?
03:30There's no we.
03:31Look, I get it that you're mad and all, but I'm sorry.
03:33And I withdrew my statement just like you asked.
03:34You should have never lied in the first place.
03:36You should have never hit your dad.
03:37Did Nancy message you, too?
03:45Yeah.
03:47Frankie's missing.
03:48I'm going to go find her.
03:49I'll come with you.
03:50Just back off, Lucas.
03:51Oi.
03:52What's going on?
03:54Look, I know things must be tough after the way his dad treated you, but we're all on your
03:59side.
03:59Isn't that right, Dylan?
04:00Yeah.
04:02Right.
04:04Let's go find Frankie.
04:10Let me know if you spot anything, yeah?
04:12Problems?
04:16Don, what do we know about JoJ's murder?
04:18Not on our patch.
04:19I know that much.
04:20Don't it seem weird to you?
04:22Look, Sully starts going out with Frankie and all of a sudden, JoJ gets killed.
04:25And when the Osborns were in there earlier, something was really off about him.
04:29Well, it's weird to me.
04:30A grown man would be chasing after a teenage girl.
04:32But I don't write the laws.
04:34You should leave the JJ investigation to the local force.
04:37What if they do a lousy job?
04:39I won't lose any sleepover.
04:40He's a criminal.
04:41JJ was serving Tom and Frankie was getting justice now that it's been compromised.
04:44Maybe JJ got what him and creeps like him deserve.
04:47Is that what you tell yourself?
04:48To feel better about what you did?
04:53I thought you weren't going to say anything.
04:55I haven't.
04:56Will you, mate?
05:04I hope this is as urgent as you said it was.
05:06I was already late, dropping Sophie and Sebastian to school.
05:08And I really do need to get back to the hospital.
05:10No, it is.
05:11Look, I baked plea all this cake.
05:14I did it myself.
05:16Honestly?
05:17I believe you.
05:19I'm with you, JoJ.
05:21Well, the baby's putting on weight, which is great.
05:23And they've moved him out of his incubator.
05:25But, um, I'm really worried that this is going to be a long road with Cleo and that I'm not going to be enough for her.
05:33Not you, lover.
05:35That is always enough.
05:38Thanks.
05:38Mercedes isn't answering her phone.
05:41Yeah, well, she's not at work and I took the kids to a nursery today.
05:44She's not with Tony either.
05:45Where is she?
05:46I saw her earlier, actually.
05:48She's with Stee.
05:50They were definitely on something.
05:51So, not content with attacking his own son?
05:54He's now doing drugs with my sister.
05:56I'm really worried about him.
05:57But I just have so much on my plate with Cleo and I have to go back to the hospital.
06:05Well, I'd better throw a sickie and go and find her.
06:07Yeah, but I'll come where you are.
06:10So, ready for the big move tomorrow?
06:13Oh, can't wait.
06:14That commute from Liverpool's a killer.
06:15Look, and we can be one big happy family at last.
06:20Your dad's on shift, but I can lug boxes upstairs.
06:24It'll be a good workout.
06:25A marathon, more like.
06:26Have you seen my wardrobe?
06:28Francine Osborne, her family's reported her missing.
06:31Has she been admitted here?
06:32You're Frankie.
06:34Check on this.
06:36Hey, you should have seen Mercedes earlier.
06:38Totally spaced out.
06:39She must have taken too many pills and then mixed them with booze.
06:43So risky.
06:43That woman has fallen apart in front of my eyes and I am so here for it.
06:47Nothing.
06:48Where is she?
06:52Daisy Sullivan.
06:54When was this?
06:59Okay, you two.
07:01Sophie and Faith are going to be back from their play date soon, so I'll make us thank you to eat.
07:03Oh, don't go anywhere.
07:05Not until you've opened your first windows from me.
07:07Yay, advent calendars!
07:10This isn't chocolate.
07:11No, it's an amethyst crystal.
07:12Well, she does this every year.
07:15Can't get to the actual food because Moss's stupid protein shakes are always in your wedding.
07:21Where is he anyway?
07:23I swear he was on the early shift this morning.
07:25He gives everything to that job.
07:26Not a great deal to us.
07:28Seriously, though.
07:30What is wrong with our brother?
07:31Maybe he's just feeling badly about Cleo and distracting himself with work.
07:36I thought she was getting better.
07:38Yes, she is.
07:39But now Mark's realised that her feelings are just as psychosis talking, so it's got to hurt, right?
07:45Kids!
07:46Wash your hands, please.
07:47Your food's nearly ready.
07:49Well, whatever it is.
07:51He needs to be here with his family.
07:53Not lost in his work.
07:54Have you said anything?
08:07About what?
08:08You know what?
08:09About Griff.
08:12Oh?
08:13But you're going to?
08:13I used to look up to you.
08:19Can you believe that?
08:21I always thought you did your best for every victim of crime.
08:23How wrong was I?
08:26What happened, Dom?
08:28You still haven't answered my question.
08:30You going to report me or not?
08:31Sully.
08:45I checked like you asked, and you're right.
08:47The keys to the school are gone.
08:48Frankie probably took them.
08:50The local PCSOs are mate.
08:52He said someone spotted her heading this way.
08:53But why?
08:56Darren, we don't want to panic the students, but...
09:00Oh, my God.
09:01Frankie.
09:15Oi, don't kill our boss.
09:20Yeah, fam.
09:21Joke heart.
09:22Not joy in it, we're joking.
09:25What are you doing?
09:26You're mixing booze with pills.
09:32I just needed a distraction, John Paul.
09:35From hitting your son?
09:36It's a good job that they took James off you.
09:38I might be getting him back.
09:41I still got a meeting with social services tomorrow.
09:43Never going to happen, mate.
09:45You're just a violent addict who's fell off the wagon.
09:47Goldie.
09:48What are you thinking?
09:55I'm not an addict.
09:57What, you're acting like one?
09:58I mean, look at the state of your...
10:00Yeah, I'm hot.
10:01No, you're a mess.
10:03Look, where's your self-respect?
10:05Oh, wait, I forgot.
10:06You've not gotten her.
10:07Because if you did, you wouldn't be allowing Warren to treat your family like crap.
10:11No, I dumped him.
10:12Yeah, so he's gone and I'm on my own again.
10:14You're not on your own, though, are you?
10:15You've got all of us.
10:17And Cleo, she's going through the hardest time of her life.
10:21And poor Tona is sat in a hospital bed and he can't even talk.
10:24And here's you chasing your next high.
10:34Where are you going?
10:35You better know what he's doing.
10:46He does.
10:47And that's why he's up there and we're not.
10:52Frankie.
10:54You shouldn't be up here.
10:56Neither should you.
10:58Just needed to go away.
11:00Clear my head.
11:01I'll admit this was kind of a stupid place to come, but...
11:06I just can't deal with my family.
11:09My dad after.
11:10That's why I told him to leave this with me.
11:15You shouldn't feel pressure to grieve the way people expect you to.
11:19It's your grief.
11:21Unless it's not grief at all.
11:23No.
11:25No, it is grief.
11:27It's just really messed up.
11:31Do you know, he used to play football in the yard like them boys.
11:36And he'd come home.
11:40He'd knock on my bedroom door and...
11:44And now he's gone.
11:48And I don't know how to face my family.
11:51What do you mean?
11:51JJ.
11:58Him dying.
12:01It's my fault.
12:13Come in.
12:13Yes, detective?
12:26I need to report a fellow officer.
12:28I need to report a fellow officer.
12:28You okay?
12:39Yeah, yeah, you?
12:40No, I'm not.
12:40I'm running back and forth to this place.
12:43As easy as I ain't okay?
12:44You...
12:45You look a bit...
12:47You want something?
12:48Well, I know.
12:48I just had a big night, that's all.
12:50I'm...
12:50I came to see Tony.
12:52No, look.
12:52Right.
12:53Forget about us.
12:55You need to look after yourself.
12:56You don't need to worry about me, yeah?
12:58No, come here, Rayse.
13:00Go and grab yourself a coffee, yeah?
13:01Get a coffee and...
13:02No, you need to go and freshen up a little bit and sort yourself out.
13:05Rayse, he's not going anywhere.
13:06Come back later.
13:11I still can't believe about JJ.
13:14I guess it just shows that life's too short.
13:16And we've got to grab happiness where you can.
13:17They're fine, Frankie.
13:18No, I don't need your life lessons.
13:19Well, maybe we can hang out instead.
13:21No!
13:21Okay.
13:24Steve!
13:24No.
13:25Look, just come back!
13:26Don't nag your sister, not me!
13:27Look, Goldie's looking after Mercedes, Dad!
13:28I'm trying to take care of you!
13:31Steve, come on.
13:32Yeah, come on.
13:32Just come on!
13:37Lucas.
13:41I need to go back.
13:42No, just let him do his job.
13:44None of this is your fault, Frankie.
13:46But I want your JJ out of my life.
13:48What if the universe actually listened to me for once?
13:51The prisoners in with JJ,
13:52some of them are seriously violent people.
13:55They're why it happened.
13:57I don't know.
13:58Then maybe you're right.
13:59I am.
14:01Always.
14:03It's just the gift I have.
14:04And I wish I wasn't so weak.
14:06You're not weak.
14:08JJ, the trafficking gang.
14:11You're one of the strongest people I know.
14:13Not when I have to watch my dad grieve.
14:16He knows what JJ did.
14:20He was still his son.
14:23I think it's best for you both
14:24if you're just together now.
14:32So will you come down with me?
14:33Thank God.
14:48Lucas!
14:50Now keep him away from me!
14:51Look, don't be like that!
14:53You're his son!
14:54Look, I love you, don't I?
14:55I love you so much.
14:57I know, I know things are a bit of stuff,
14:59but I'm like, is he okay, then?
15:00Why have you done this to yourself, Dad?
15:02You know exactly why he's doing this.
15:04Son.
15:05Please.
15:07Just go home.
15:08Lucas, okay?
15:09You being here's not helping anyone.
15:11If you need anything, just call me.
15:13I'll come over, but you need to go.
15:14You're gonna come over?
15:15Go, now!
15:21What are you doing?
15:23Eh?
15:24What's all this about?
15:25Are you worried about Lucas?
15:27Are you concerned about your meeting?
15:28What meeting?
15:29Social services, about seeing James again.
15:31Well, I'm not going, am I?
15:32Obviously, I can't.
15:33Well, that's everything you wanted, Steve.
15:36What have you taken?
15:37Oh, so a few drinks, so what?
15:39And a few prescription tablets.
15:42Steve, that can kill you.
15:43Yes, you're an addict, but you're a dad.
15:46You're a granddad.
15:47You're supposed to be my sponsor.
15:48Oh, go on, you tell me and all.
15:50Go on, tell me I've let you down.
15:51I know I've let everybody down, Dylan.
15:54And this is the whole reason why I'm not going to that meeting tomorrow.
15:56No, no, that's exactly why we're going to get you cleaned up and sober for tomorrow.
16:03Please, Steve.
16:03You really think we can get him sorted out for social services?
16:14We have to.
16:23Mercedes, you don't look well.
16:24I've come to see Tony.
16:26I don't think that's a good idea.
16:27You're clearly under the influence.
16:28I need to see him.
16:29I've made a mistake.
16:30I need to check.
16:31That is okay.
16:31Wait.
16:32Have you been drinking and taking anti-anxiety pills?
16:35Have you got any more?
16:35Well, I mean, I do, but I don't think that's a good idea.
16:42Right, as long as you stick to the guidelines this time.
16:44Yeah, I will, I promise.
16:45Wait here.
16:46Yeah.
16:56Right, take these and take a cab home.
16:59Go on.
17:01You were right.
17:10She's spiralling, just like I knew she would.
17:13So you might be looking after Tony?
17:16Probably.
17:17But what I want to talk to you about isn't about your husband's recovery.
17:20I am so sorry, Diane, but your friend Mercedes, she shot Tony.
17:27What?
17:28Now, you've got questions.
17:29I'll kill her.
17:30See, I'd try a more slow-working prescription.
17:35Hey, if you're sure about this.
17:37Trust me.
17:39I'll get her hooked on those pills.
17:40You dial up the guilt day by day.
17:42We'll both get what we want.
17:45Mercedes in ruins.
17:46Why on earth did you run off like that?
17:59You had no idea how scared I was.
18:00Aaron.
18:02Sorry.
18:02I wasn't going to hurt myself or anything.
18:06I just couldn't...
18:07Yeah, I understand.
18:11Thank you, Sally.
18:13Yeah.
18:14I won't forget this.
18:15It's just my job.
18:16Is it okay if I meet you at home later?
18:20I just want to hang out with Sully for a bit longer.
18:23Yeah.
18:24Yeah, that's fine.
18:27Frankie.
18:28Frankie.
18:28I wish I could have stopped JJ from ever hurting you.
18:34Yeah, I wish I could have saved him from himself.
18:39I guess now he can't hurt anyone, can he?
18:43But in future, we deal with things together.
18:46Okay?
18:47As a family.
18:50As a family.
18:50Okay.
18:51I love you.
18:55I love you.
18:58Hi.
19:01Me.
19:02I am really sorry.
19:07Nothing to be sorry about.
19:14So you want to hang out, eh?
19:16Thank you for helping me.
19:17And them.
19:18What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't?
19:22Boyfriend?
19:23Well, yeah.
19:26That's what this is, right?
19:30Thanks, you, Sullivan.
19:33I'm arresting you on suspicion of conspiracy to commit the murder of JJ Osborne.
19:39What are you playing at?
19:42You're no arrest.
19:45Sully.
19:46What have you done?
19:48I'm sorry.
19:51I'm sorry.
