00:00Robert.
00:20I'm picking up Harry.
00:21Might have took him for a quad bike ride. I thought he'd be back by now.
00:24Oh.
00:25Well, if you've got time for a cuppa.
00:26Yeah.
00:27Put the kettle on.
00:30Eh, how's Cain doing?
00:37Okay.
00:39The doctors want to keep him in for another night.
00:43Eh, it could have been a lot worse.
00:46If the buckshot hit him a few centimetres either side.
00:50Well, you know, he is so lucky that you stopped him going after John.
00:55Thank you so much for that, by the way, and getting him in the ambulance.
00:58And Mac?
01:00Yeah, he's getting there.
01:02I was just saying to Caleb that, I mean, we could have lost them both.
01:07Okay.
01:08Are they going to be okay?
01:09Yeah, in time.
01:11Cain should be resting, avoiding stress.
01:15He was hoping that one day that he'd get justice for a night, but it's never going to happen now, eh?
01:22Eh, sorry.
01:24Well, we all are.
01:25All we can do is pick ourselves back up and carry on somehow.
01:30It's what we do, right?
01:32Yeah.
01:33Well, er, I'd best go check on Harry and Matty, see where they've got to get the lad home.
01:37Oh, well, what about your tea?
01:38Er, Matty can have it.
01:40Moira, listen, erm, if you need anything, just give us a call, right?
01:48Hey, look, I, I appreciate everything.
01:52It means a lot, Robert.
01:55Take care.
02:07I'm going to think about what my dad's been through.
02:11How can a human being do that to another?
02:15To you.
02:16It's been the worst few weeks of our lives.
02:18I've never been so scared.
02:20Yeah.
02:21And now the police know about Callum, and I'm going to prison.
02:24That is not going to happen.
02:25Sweetheart, the police have released you on bail.
02:27For now.
02:28DS Walsh said it's not that I've...
02:30But they know what Ray and Celia put you through.
02:33But they're still out there, Dad.
02:35And when Celia finds out that I've talked, she will go mental.
02:38Ray and his mum aren't our problem, not anymore.
02:40The whole operation's a bit blown apart.
02:42They'll be miles away by now.
02:44They won't be able to hide forever.
02:46They'll find him.
02:47The police will find him.
02:48They'll bring him home.
02:49But...
02:51The person who comes back...
02:53If he comes back...
02:54He will.
02:55You can't give up hope, Paddy.
02:57But what he's had to endure, what he's had to suffer...
03:00He...
03:01He won't...
03:02He can't be the same person.
03:04So I might have lost him anyway.
03:06I might have been in here five minutes...
03:07I'm sick of the hospital food already.
03:08Which is why...
03:09I have brought you a lovingly curated sandwich.
03:13Although Houghton General is a centre of excellence for many fields...
03:15Catering is no one of them.
03:16Wow.
03:17Brilliant.
03:18One word from you, I could be out of here today.
03:21You already know the answer to that.
03:22I'm not used to Moira in here.
03:23All this mess with Celia.
03:24Yeah.
03:25Shocking.
03:26Yeah.
03:27She was in business with the moment.
03:28She's gonna be up against it.
03:29She needs me at home.
03:30The police are gonna be asking her questions.
03:31It would be a bad idea to discharge yourself against medical advice.
03:49Especially when they'll probably send you home tomorrow.
03:52So what's wrong with today?
03:54Okay, your consultant has kept you in for two reasons.
03:55Firstly, to monitor your recovery from a gun shop.
03:57kept you in for two reasons firstly to monitor your recovery from a gun-shocked wound and then
04:03it's also to have a chance to investigate whatever this abnormality is i'm telling you it's not cancer
04:09it can't be if you're in here they can act quickly if these results come back and there is a tumor
04:18it's best to be prepared you may need to make some big decisions pretty fast
04:24i know that's tough with everything going on at home but trust me best place for you right now
04:32is here
04:34mandy just stay there yeah but tina's still on remand if you come back from ireland now who's
04:43gonna look after the kids until me dad turns up there's nothing you can do dylan's here i better
04:50go yeah i love you too all right bye bye bye how'd you get on uh yeah okay dylan's corroborated a lot of
04:59what april windsor has told us actually if you've got a minute i'd like a word about your dad yeah
05:05have you found him not yet but we've searched celia's farm and found evidence that the attic has
05:17been occupied um by who how many people well the farm was abandoned when we arrived and we've not
05:24found any of the victims yet but from what we've seen and what we know half a dozen or more we think
05:30they were used as forced labor on the poultry farm and then bust out to other employers as and when
05:35but i don't understand why didn't my dad run why didn't he just
05:39ask for help fear
05:42one word out of line and there'd have been reprisals
05:47it can be a complicated relationship traffickers prey on the vulnerable
05:51condition them so they fear the rest of the world
05:54my dad was a professional wrestler i'm afraid it might be best if you do prepare yourself for the
06:02worst it's not unusual for traffickers to find ways to prevent their victims from talking to us
06:08we are doing everything we can and i i really hope to find your dad safe and well
06:14sorry i do have to take this we'll be in touch okay
06:19now it's all out there finally
06:26should be relieved
06:29i just feel numb
06:32i wish you'd told me
06:35i hated having to lie to you mum getting you to move out but
06:39it was the only way we could keep you safe
06:42i'd much rather have been here with you all
06:44we've missed your mum so much
06:47please come back home
06:49there's nothing i'd like more
06:53i'll get that
06:55paddy you know
06:57he's right about bear when he does turn up
07:00ray and celia didn't think twice about tom and i was running dylan down
07:04and that was in plain sight what must they put him through
07:07hi i'd like another word with april if that's okay
07:15i'll tell you you're here

11:46like celia
11:47by using the premises to run a criminal operation
11:51a drug cartel right under our noses
11:53who'd have thought
11:53oh
11:54it's far worse than that
11:57celia and ray have been using that filthy attic
12:00as some kind of
12:02prison dormitory
12:04for trafficked people
12:05what?

15:04do you know what the detective told me
15:06these monsters
15:08when they're on the run
15:10they usually dispose of the victims
15:12stop them talking
15:14kill them
15:16they wouldn't
15:17would they
15:18hey paddy i can't tell you how sorry i am
15:21sorry for what
15:23for going into business with people traffickers so am i
15:26you think i had any idea
15:28any idea
15:30how could she none of us did
15:31i don't think anyone's suggesting that's the case
15:33and yet
15:34you knew
15:35that she'd forged your signature
15:36you knew
15:37that she was dodgy
15:38but you never thought to ask even a few questions about what she was really up to on that farm
15:42no
15:43well i i thought she was dishonest yes but
15:46i never would have thought she was up to anything like this
15:48i mean
15:49you can't blame moira
15:50for this
15:51i mean that'd be like blaming aaron for what john did
15:56when i think about my dad
15:58locked up
15:59humiliated and forced to work
16:01it's all right
16:02gotta go
16:03paddy
16:04just makes me sick to think those low lives i'd bear working him like a dog probably
16:14it's just horrible
16:15and then to find out he was this close to home all that time must be doing paddy's head in
16:19and you know what if i ever got the chance to get my hands on that ray or his mum

19:59right
20:01a long time ago
20:04an evil man terrorized a whole village
20:09the villagers were fearful
20:13because their protector
20:15the great king had been wounded in battle
20:18the king was sad
20:21he and his queen had been betrayed by people they thought they could trust
20:32throughout the kingdom fear and mistrust grew
20:36some people called for help from unexpected allies
20:41and other people had deep secrets they were desperate to keep heading
20:51because they were scared of what would happen if the truth came out
20:55what happened next
20:56what happened next
20:57well
21:00the king and the queen
21:02they were patient
21:05they knew all they had to do
21:08was wait
21:11because no matter how hard you try to hide a secret
21:17the truth
21:19always comes out in the end
21:21in the end
