00:00MUSIC
00:25Please, Mac, don't say anything.
00:26I'm so glad you're awake.
00:31Well, thanks to Jacob.
00:33Doctor reckons he saved your life, didn't he?
00:37Well, I guess I owe my paint, then.
00:41So what was going on before the crash?
00:43I mean, the way you were driving.
00:45Did you seriously think Graham was having enough air with Vanessa?
00:47Babe, do you think we could have this chat later?
00:49He really should be resting.
00:51You could have all been killed.
00:53I think he knows that.
00:54I'm sorry.
00:55He really needs to be resting.
00:58I don't know what happened.
01:00I was driving and I snapped.
01:03And I was being an idiot.
01:06And it was really stupid and I'm sorry.
01:11Right, and that's it?
01:14Yeah.
01:17Sarah, wait.
01:18Graham, I could have lost you both, right?
01:20And my little girl.
01:22All because he was angry with some stupid mistake.
01:24I am sorry.
01:25No, you don't need to keep apologising.
01:27It's just hard to get my head around.
01:30I need some fresh air.
01:33Better go.
01:35That's it.
01:41Are you sure you're ready to be back at work?
01:43Yeah, I'm fine.
01:44Yeah, I'm fine.
01:45Okay, good.
01:47Well, I've got meetings, so I need you to go up to Celia's and get the rent she owes.
01:52She's not answering her phone.
01:54Which is why I said go round.
01:56Oh, and make sure she understands that I don't like being messed about.
02:01If you can find her.
02:02And if I can't?
02:04Then you keep trying.
02:07Disappearing's not an option.
02:08Not when she owes me money.
02:12Apparently, John came back on some sort of rampage.
02:15Wanted to kidnap Aaron.
02:17And goodness knows where he is now.
02:19Oh, it's proper mad.
02:21But you better keep running because you don't shoot Cain and get away with it.
02:24I heard it was proper touch and go, like bleeding out and everything.
02:27And he was still trying to go after John.
02:30Can I?
02:30I'm so sorry.
02:31Can I please get the two teas I ordered ten minutes ago?
02:35Oh, sorry, man.
02:37He's your cousin, right?
02:38You must have been well worried.
02:40But come on, what a legend.
02:42I'll bring the teas over.
02:45We may get them one day.
02:50You all right?
02:51Can you ring Grandad?
02:53And ask him to meet us at home.
02:55Are you sure you want to tell him all this?
02:58He has a right to know.
02:59So does Grandma.
03:01But can it wait?
03:02I don't want you getting upset again.
03:03Can we just go?
03:06Sorry, change of plan.
03:18How am I meant to tell Harry that his uncle's died?
03:22It can wait.
03:23And you don't have to do it on your own.
03:25Yeah, he's right.
03:26We'll do it together.
03:27What?
03:27Best get inside.
03:29Hey.
03:30Heard about the crash.
03:32Oh.
03:33You look pretty bashed up.
03:34Yeah, a bit.
03:35Any news on Mac and Charity?
03:37The phone.
03:39And the baby?
03:41Why are you so bothered?
03:42He's a mate.
03:43Well, she's just the mother of my kid.
03:46You'd be better off calling Charity.
03:52Hey, you look after her.
03:53I'm going to nip to the shop, make sure she's got enough in for the next couple of days.
03:56What we said yesterday, you can forget about it, because it's not going to happen.
04:09Well, that's not really how it works, is it?
04:11But that'll be nice.
04:12You can, er, finish your shopping, get a cup of tea.
04:16Then we talk.
04:16You, me, and Victoria.
04:20And trust me, you're going to need to hear what I have to say.
04:32You've been through so much.
04:35We all have.
04:37I can't believe that I fell for Celia's lies.
04:41We all did.
04:43I'm just sorry that I didn't tell you both sooner.
04:45You've nothing to be sorry for.
04:48She was groomed.
04:49They both were.
04:51And now I need to go to the police.
04:53So brave, Poppy.
04:55Really proud of you.
04:58But if this Callum fella died, what if they say it's murder?
05:04I don't know, Grandad.
05:05But I have to tell them.
05:07Well, it was self-defence, wasn't it?
05:09And he deserved it, so...
05:11Can't you just hold on for a bit?
05:12I mean, you said that Celia and Ray are being investigated by the police.
05:17Can't you just wait and see what happens with that?
05:20Because it all sounds too dangerous.
05:22Your Grandad's right, love.
05:24The police should have enough to go on, rather than put yourself at risk.
05:28Well, I thought you would have wanted me to do the right thing.
05:31We just want you to be safe.
05:33I will be.
05:34Now that I can tell them everything, I can give them a proper statement.
05:38And...
05:39This isn't just about me and Dylan anymore.
05:43They were forcing people to work at the farm.
05:46People trafficking.
05:48There were a load of them looking after animals and that.
05:52We tried to get him out, but he just...
05:55Knew he wouldn't come.
05:56Get who out?
05:58If we'll get who out, what are you talking about?
06:04It's bare.
06:05It's been there for months.
06:06Oh, sorry.
06:21Do you know what?
06:22I'll let you sleep some more.
06:24That would suit you perfectly, wouldn't it?
06:27Me lying here not seeing anything.
06:32Mac.
06:32Look, I know how hard this must be for you.
06:37And I'm really grateful that you didn't say anything to Sarah.
06:41I'm just trying to protect her.
06:43I know.
06:45And perhaps you're right.
06:47Maybe she's better off not knowing.
06:53At least until the tests come back.
06:57Well.
06:57You said so yourself.
07:01I need to know who the baby is.
07:06How many more times?
07:07It's Sarah and Jacob's.
07:09And the tests will clear that up.
07:10Won't it?
07:12Then we can move on.
07:16Can't we?
07:19Yeah, of course.
07:23Good.
07:24I'm going to let you sleep.
07:29Everything that's happened
07:31just makes you realise how precious life is
07:35and everyone in it.
07:39I love you, Charity.
07:43I love you.
07:47You're sleeping.
07:48It's just like he's brainwashed.
07:54He thinks that Ray and Celia have rescued him.
07:57That Paddy don't want to know him.
08:00They make it so you don't want to leave.
08:02This is...
08:03It's going to break Paddy's heart.
08:06We didn't know what to do.
08:07And...
08:09And he could be anywhere by now
08:12cos they were packing up to leave
08:13unless they've left him at the farm, but...
08:15And if they've fallen out,
08:17whatever plans they'd made might have changed.
08:20We have to go up there.
08:22No.
08:24No, you can't.
08:24It's too risky.
08:25Bear needs help.
08:26Well, that's why we need to go to the police.
08:28There's nobody listening to me.
08:30We are.
08:31No.
08:32You're not.
08:33All you're doing is making excuses
08:34as to why we shouldn't go.
08:36We've tried going to the police before, love.
08:37It doesn't get us anywhere.
08:39Well, it will this time.
08:40They will listen cos they'll have to.
08:44Yeah.
08:45OK.
08:47OK, you're right.
08:48You should at least try.
08:50Let's put the kettle on.
08:52Give them some space.
08:55Come on.
08:59Dad.
09:02Promise me you'll stay with me at all times.
09:04Of course I will.
09:06Things have gone too far.
09:17There's too many people need help,
09:19including Bear.
09:19We have to do this.
09:21She could end up in prison.
09:22And yet she's still got the guts to go through with it.
09:25So however difficult this is for us,
09:27we've got to support her.
09:28I always would, you know that.
09:30The person you're trying to contact is on the table.
09:44Please leave your name and number after the tone.
09:47Call me back.
09:48As soon as possible, please.
09:52April's going to the police.
09:53It's Matty.
09:57Sounds like Harry's having a great time at the farm.
10:01I don't know, do we go pick him up?
10:03No, not until I know you're OK.
10:05I don't think that's ever going to happen.
10:07Keep expecting the police to come knocking.
10:10They're probably glad he's dead.
10:12Don't, Robert.
10:13Look, they didn't want to question you earlier.
10:15There's no reason for that to change.
10:17Yet.
10:19Sorry, the door was on the latch.
10:22Yeah, for Aaron.
10:23Don't worry.
10:24I'll pretend like I didn't hear anything.
10:26Well, there's nothing to hear.
10:27If you say so.
10:29Anyway, are you ready to finalise our deal?
10:32What deal?
10:33I've already told you there is no deal.
10:35It's not very friendly,
10:36considering how much I helped you yesterday.
10:38You gave me a lift like any normal person would.
10:41Last chance, Robert.
10:42Look, I really don't need this.
10:44Then I'll keep it quick.
10:45He has offered to sell your share of the farm,
10:48to me.
10:49What?
10:51John had kidnapped Aaron.
10:53And I thought he was going to kill him.
10:54It's the only way I could get him to take me there to follow them.
10:57It means nothing.
10:58You can't hold me to it, so get out.
11:03I lost track of you at the crash.
11:05You saw what?
11:07I saw you, though.
11:10Yeah.
11:11Followed you.
11:12Into the woods.
11:13I don't know what you're talking about.
11:18Let me give you a little reminder.
11:20I have...
11:21a video.
11:24Aha.
11:28Looks like you.
11:30Doesn't it?
11:33Looks like you.
11:35Killing your brother.
11:36And making it look like a suicide.
11:39I'm sure the police are going to have lots of questions after all.
11:54I don't know what you're going to have to do.
11:55Fine.
11:56Fine.
11:57Fine.
11:58We'll sell.
11:59Mmm.
12:00We're probably past that now, aren't we?
12:01Right.
12:02Joe.
12:03What do you want?
12:04Options.
12:05Option one.
12:07I go to the police.
12:09You go down for murder.
12:11And you go down for trying to cover it up.
12:14I'm sure I will get a great price on the farm when you're both away.
12:18And what's option two?
12:21We keep this all between us.
12:25And you give me the farm.
12:27For free.
12:28What the hell are you doing here?
12:33What do you expect me to do?
12:35I need to let Moses know how you are.
12:37No you don't.
12:38Because Noah's looking after him.
12:39And I've been ringing him.
12:40So what do you want?
12:44Why have you got that with you?
12:45Because...
12:46I had a very interesting conversation with Ryan yesterday.
12:49About him teaching you how to forge things.
12:51Things like this, for example.
12:52Massive!
12:54What are you talking about?
12:55What do I know about?
12:56DNA and stuff.
12:57All you would need to do is copy the real one and make a few changes.
13:00Why else would you have lessons from him?
13:03If you must know...
13:05He was giving me some pointers here on how to fiddle the accounts.
13:09That is 100% legit.
13:11Yeah?
13:12Then why is Vanessa telling Mac that he's going to be the dad?
13:15Because she was drunk.
13:16And angry with me.
13:17Okay?
13:18And anyway...
13:19It was about something that doesn't even matter anymore.
13:20And it got dealt with.
13:22And she knows she was in the wrong.
13:23Do you really expect me to believe that?
13:25Yeah.
13:26I do.
13:27And you've got no right turning up here like this.
13:29You do know you could have died in that crash.
13:32And I could have lost this baby.
13:33And Cain got shot.
13:34And he could have died as well.
13:35And yet here you are thinking it's the perfect timing to talk about a paternity test.
13:40This needs sorted.
13:41It is sorted.
13:43Just not in your tiny paranoid little brain.
13:46Is it alright if I get back to my husband now?
13:49Fine.
13:51But this isn't over.
13:52You won't go to the police.
13:53You're bluffing.
13:54Option one or option two.
13:55They'll want to know why you didn't take your precious videos straight to them.
13:57You're going to look dodgy.
13:58I had a nasty bang to the head didn't I?
13:59I only remember when I got my phone out.
14:00So what's it going to be?
14:01You know which?
14:02Good choice.
14:03I'll get my solicitor to draw up the contract.
14:04See you later.
14:06What did he want?
14:08What did he want?
14:09I'll get my solicitor to draw up the contract.
14:14See you later.
14:17Let it be one.
14:20Going back to the peace and peace.
14:23I've got my solicitor to draw up the contract.
14:24I'll get my solicitor to draw up the contract.
14:28I'll get my solicitor to draw up the contract.
14:29See you later.
14:33What did he want?
14:37What is it?
14:40You'd better sit down.
14:44Hey.
14:46I thought you brought that with you so you could show your dad those alloys.
14:50They are sick, apparently.
14:52Certainly a sick price.
14:54We need to finish the car first.
14:57Yeah, which we'll do as soon as I'm out of here.
14:59Yeah. And that won't be long.
15:03Right. We need to go and visit your Uncle Mackenzie.
15:09Granny Kerry's coming to pick you up.
15:12I want to stay.
15:14Well, she'll be on her way by now.
15:16And Isaac will be worrying so you need to tell him how well your dad's doing.
15:21I can't go. Please, Dad.
15:24Hey, come on, come on.
15:26It's just a few shotgun pellets. I'm fine. They might even let me out of here tomorrow.
15:30That's what everyone said about Mum.
15:32I know that. But this is different.
15:38Hey. Your dad's not going anywhere.
15:40He's indestructible. You know that.
15:42No, he's not.
15:44No one is. So don't treat me like a kid.
15:46Hey, come on.
15:48I'm gonna be okay. I promise you.
15:50Come here.
15:54I know how difficult this must be for you after what happened to your mum.
15:58I swear to you, your dad will be home before we know it and you'll be saying,
16:02It's like Blackpool Illumination's in here. Were you born in a barn?
16:06Ah, there it is.
16:08Right. Go and see your Uncle Mackenzie and I'll catch you up.
16:12I'll talk to him.
16:18We'll have to let him know at some point.
16:22And Isaac.
16:24Oh, I don't know that.
16:26Not for certain.
16:34Why did he say yeah?
16:36We didn't have a choice. He's got the whole thing on video.
16:38Then we'll go up there and make him delete it.
16:40Oh, come on. He's not that stupid.
16:41We'll get him to delete all the other copies he's got of it as well.
16:43No, I'm not risking it.
16:45So you're just gonna let him win?
16:47It's only a farm. We'll find a way to get it back.
16:49I'm so sorry.
16:51I had no idea he was there.
16:53It's not your fault.
16:55You should never have asked him for a lift.
16:57I'm gonna go up there.
16:59Aaron, I said no.
17:01We could all go to prison for this.
17:03And what are you gonna tell Moira?
17:05I don't know but we'll think of something.
17:07This has to stay between us.
17:09We have to protect Vaik.
17:11And this is the only way so no one else can ever know, right?
17:15Agreed?
17:17Celia?
17:23Celia?
17:29The front door was open.
17:33Celia?
17:35I know you're here.
17:37Celia?
17:39You up there?
17:40Celia?
17:41Hi Celia.
18:13It's me. Meet me at mine in 20 minutes. Don't be late.
18:34Hey. Hey, did you have any problems getting back?
18:37No. Caleb will be moaning that I didn't carry on to Manchester, but...
18:41Hardly life or death, is it?
18:43Sorry, it's a bit insensitive.
18:46And I still need to go and pick up that bike for Archie.
18:49Well, like you said, it's hardly life or death.
18:51I'm just glad that all that happened was that you got stuck in a bit of traffic.
18:55I mean, if you'd left a few minutes earlier...
18:57It's been a... difficult few days.
19:02I know.
19:12You can't still change your mind, love. No-one's gonna judge you.
19:15Can you keep trying Paddy?
19:16Yeah, of course.
19:17April.
19:24I just... I don't want to get you into trouble.
19:26Yeah, don't worry about that.
19:27Yeah, but... but what if the police treat you differently because you're 18?
19:32Right now, we'll work it out.
19:35Go ahead.
19:36Please.
19:39I love you.
19:40I love you too.
19:44Good luck, love.
19:48Do you think we should warn Laurel in case Ray goes after her?
19:52You won't be going after anyone.
19:54Not anymore.
20:08I'm just down to see the police.
20:10Do you know about all this?
20:12About what?
20:13Is April okay?
20:14Yeah, Ray and Celia, they've been grooming her.
20:17Making her deal drugs.
20:19The whole thing is a nightmare.
20:21They tried to get her to sleep with someone.
20:23They've been people trafficking up at the farm.
20:25There was one of them.
20:26What?
20:27Been trying to get hold of Paddy, but he's at a conference in Lincoln
20:29and he's picking up his phone.
20:31What is that all I can do?
20:32I don't think so.
20:33Although you could let Moira know.
20:34I know it's not a good time with everything she's got going on,
20:37but she might end up with the police at her door.
20:40Why's that?
20:41Celia was so keen to work with her.
20:43She's probably got her wrapped up in all of this.
20:45Thank goodness knows who else.
20:47See ya.
20:49Well, I'm very glad you made it.
20:51I've got a little job for you.
20:54Turns out Celia has been running her farm using illegal workers.
21:00And, er, well, we were going to join up a couple of dots,
21:03the Hotton's finest, by hiding these at Moira's.
21:08No.
21:09No, no chance.
21:11Oh.
21:12Well.
21:13It wasn't a request.
21:14It wasn't a request.
21:16There we go.
21:17Oh.
21:19Well.
