00:00Ross, please pick up
00:30Look, I'm sorry, okay
00:31I shouldn't have offered you money
00:33I don't even know why I did
00:34I just panicked, okay
00:36Surely you can see that telling Mag isn't going to help anyone
00:40Look, just don't do anything that we'll both regret, okay
00:44Hi
00:51Hey
00:52Has it arrived?
00:54What?
00:56The results for the paternity test
00:58They're not due back till tomorrow
00:59Oh, no, no
01:02Yeah, no, I know
01:03Sometimes they come early though, right?
01:06Will you let me know as soon as they do arrive?
01:08Of course I will
01:09Charity, if I am the father
01:14That's not the end of the road for Sarah and Jacob, is it?
01:17Like
01:17We can find another surrogate
01:19And I will pay whatever it takes to help keep Sarah's dream alive
01:22Babe, look, I get how much this means to you
01:28But we both know that the chances of you being the dad are pretty slim
01:31No, yeah, I know that
01:33And that would be great for Sarah and Jacob, it's just
01:36I can't help but wonder what if
01:40Well, whatever happens
01:42I'll love you more than you could ever imagine
01:46I love you
01:47And at the end of the day, that's all that matters
01:50Come here
01:53Got your flask and your sandwiches
02:00Ah, yeah
02:01Let's go
02:02Only us
02:06Brought you a rabbit stew
02:07Mandy's been on the phone
02:10She says you've not been eating properly
02:13Right
02:14Did she send you to check up on me?
02:21This is so silly
02:22I spoke to her this morning and I told her everything's fine
02:25She didn't believe you
02:27Well, I don't want her to worry
02:29She's got her own problems with Tina and the kids
02:31She's bound to be concerned about you
02:32We all are, Paddy
02:34Have you got any idea where your dad could be?
02:36No
02:36Well, is there anything we could do to help?
02:40I wish there was
02:40How did it go?
02:49She did really well
02:50I had to read through my statement before I signed it
02:54Seeing it all written down, what Ray and Celia did it
02:58I'm OK
02:59Grandma Mary made porridge for breakfast
03:03Shall I heat some up for you?
03:05I'm tired
03:06I'm going to go out to bed
03:07OK, you go and get some rest
03:09And we'll perhaps meet Dad in the pub for lunch in a bit
03:11How does that sound?
03:12I don't want everyone staring at me
03:14No, they won't
03:15You've done nothing wrong
03:16Quite the opposite
03:17The police were really impressed
03:19You know, not everybody in your position
03:21Would be so honest about what happened
03:22Darling, if you ever need to talk
03:24I don't
03:25I just want to forget about what Ray and Celia did
03:27Easier said, eh?
03:33She's strong
03:34She's had to be
03:35However strong you are
03:36There are always things that can't be brushed under the carpet
03:38Shouldn't you be getting to work?
03:42I don't like leaving her
03:43No, I've got this
03:44I'll persuade her to come to the pub
03:45You can't let Chaz down
03:46Why aren't you picking up?
04:01Please, look
04:01I just need to know what's happened
04:03Because things are getting out of hand here
04:04People are being arrested
04:05Please
04:07Just call me back
04:09Do you want pasta for lunch?
04:15Jo
04:16Hmm?
04:17Yeah
04:17You alright?
04:18Yeah, I'm fine
04:19Well, you've got the chessboard out
04:21Clearly something's troubling you
04:23Hey
04:27What's going on?
04:32You're going to think I'm crazy
04:33Why?
04:36I've been thinking a lot about Graham
04:38Recently
04:39I really miss him
04:42He was kind of like a dad
04:46A lot more so than my real dad, anyway
04:49I mean, yeah, we argued all the time
04:52And he was not without his faults
04:53But
04:53I'm pretty sure that he cared about me
04:57And until you came along
05:01And until you came along
05:01He was pretty much the only person
05:02Who ever made me feel
05:04Loved
05:06What's brought this on?
05:11I think I saw him
05:12In the hospital
05:14Well, that's impossible
05:17I know
05:18I know
05:18That's crazy
05:20And obviously I am imagining it
05:22But what if he's still alive?
05:28On the house
05:29Thank you
05:30Any luck tracking your dad down yet?
05:32No
05:32Oh, don't worry
05:34He'll be home soon enough
05:35Unless he's fried bread
05:37Sam
05:38Well, it's what we're all thinking
05:41How'd you get on at the police station, are you?
05:45Yeah, fine
05:46I just needed to sign my statement
05:48She was really brave
05:49One step closer to putting all this behind her, aren't you?
05:52I'm more worried about that
05:53You all right, mate?
05:59What do you think?
06:00Police let you go, then
06:01I haven't been arrested
06:04If that's what you're asking
06:05I've done nothing wrong
06:06I wasn't suggesting that
06:08But if you had
06:09You've done us all a favour
06:11How do you think Ray's body got in the back of your van, then?
06:15Are you suggesting that I put it there?
06:17Sam was only asking a question
06:18Well, you're all looking at me
06:20Like I'm the number one suspect
06:21What reason did I have to kill Ray?
06:25I hardly knew the guy
06:26He didn't kill himself
06:28You know, Laurel
06:29He's been questioned by the police, too
06:31Are you going to start pointing the finger at her and all?
06:33No one's pointing fingers
06:34Are you sure about that?
06:37You know, it wouldn't surprise me
06:39If Moira did do it
06:40And all you are keeping stung
06:42To try and stop the police from finding out
06:44Our conspiracy theory's really useful
06:46Will you dingles all look out for your own?
06:52You're keeping very quiet
06:54Why are the police not talking to you?
06:56Give over
06:56My line's no murderer
06:58Ray corrupted his daughter
07:00People have killed for less
07:02Yeah, well, Dad wouldn't do that
07:03No, but I bet you would
07:04Don't blame April!
07:05Of course she's to blame
07:07Maybe not for the murder
07:09But ask yourself
07:10How did all of this come about?
07:12It's down to her
07:14And her druggie boyfriend
07:15Ray's little helpers
07:18It won't like that
07:18I trusted you
07:20Gave you a job
07:21And you used the depot
07:22To move drugs for Ray and Celia
07:24Ben, I'm sorry about that
07:25Sorry
07:25So how come the police
07:27Are pointing the finger at me and Laurel
07:29When you and April
07:30Have got every reason to want Ray dead?
07:33April's a good kid
07:34Hardly
07:35She brought her seedy little drug world
07:37To this village
07:38You take that back
07:39And you're no better
07:41It's no wonder she's half feral
07:43With you and Marlon as her parents
07:44How can you possibly think that Graham's
07:52Alive?
07:54I mean, he died six years ago
07:55And Billy and Priya found the body
07:57I know
07:58I know
07:59But what if it's all smoke and mirrors?
08:03What if he's still out there?
08:05You know?
08:05I mean, if anyone could fake their own death
08:07It's...
08:09Sure have you heard yourself?
08:11Are you still concussed?
08:13I know
08:13It's ridiculous
08:14It's probably just someone that looked like him
08:17I just...
08:19Can't get it out of my head
08:20Hello?
08:28Summer, hi
08:29Yeah
08:32Yeah, I can be there in an hour
08:33Okay?
08:36Thank you for doing this
08:37Who's that?
08:39Private investigator
08:40Joe
08:41Oh, come on
08:42You're clutching at straws here
08:43Are you seriously
08:44Hiring someone
08:46To look for a ghost?
08:48I mean
08:49You can see how crazy this is
08:50I can, I can
08:51Dawn, I know, I know, I know
08:52I just hired her
08:53To
08:53Put my mind at ease
08:55Okay?
08:56I know
08:57Logically
08:57Graham is dead
08:59And you can't just
09:00Miraculously come back
09:01But I needed that confirmed
09:04Okay?
09:05Otherwise I'm
09:06I'm never going to be at peace
09:09Oh!
09:10What's happened now?
09:13And this better be good
09:14Because we have got a bar
09:15Full of very eager punters
09:16Have you seen Ross today?
09:17Should I have?
09:18Babe, he's threatening to tell Mac
09:19That he's the father of the baby
09:21And why would he do that?
09:22You said that Ross has no interest
09:23In being the dad
09:24I don't know
09:25He's got some twisted loyalty to Mac
09:26Plus he hates me
09:28Alright?
09:28And he wants to
09:29Destroy my marriage
09:30Well, to be fair
09:31You have played your part
09:32Yes!
09:32I know this, Chas
09:34You know Mac's not going to
09:35Forgive me for this
09:36I have been warning you
09:37This would happen
09:38Oh, great
09:38I told you so now
09:40Like I need that
09:41I need to get older, Ross
09:42Oh, come on
09:45Why isn't he picking up?
09:48Well, maybe he's thought
09:49Better of it
09:49No
09:50He's toying with me, babe
09:51Let's face it
09:52Because Mac's heart
09:53Isn't the only one
09:53That's going to get broken
09:54If this gets out
09:55There's Sarah as well
09:55This baby
09:57Means so much to her
09:58You know, I'm in danger
09:59Of losing everything right now
10:00Right, you need to calm down
10:01And maybe seize the initiative
10:03How am I going to do that?
10:04Like I've told you
10:05Come clean to Mac
10:07And tell him the truth
10:08Are you for real?
10:09Well, it sounds like
10:09It's going to come out anyway
10:10So either you tell him
10:12Or Ross will
10:12Them's your options
10:13Everybody's going to hate me
10:15Right, can you stop
10:16With the self-pity, please?
10:18We've got a village
10:19Teeming with coppers
10:19Trying to find Ray's murderer
10:21And Bear's disappeared
10:23Possibly dead
10:23So compared to all that
10:24This is just
10:25You being you
10:27You've done worse
10:28And been forgiven
10:29No, not this time
10:30Babe, I cannot bear
10:34The thought of losing Mac
10:35I love him
10:35Is that Ross getting back to you?
10:40No, it's the hospital
10:41With the test results
10:42This is going to break his heart
10:45Have you just gone up?
10:51So
10:51Thanks, Mum
10:53Can you get that, please?
10:59Hi
10:59Hi
11:00How'd you get on at the police?
11:05Not great
11:06Well, at least I let you go
11:08Yeah, didn't stop
11:10Everyone in the pub
11:11Assuming that I killed Ray
11:12Bob all but congratulated me
11:15Well, just ignore them, sir
11:16Easier said
11:17What did the police actually say?
11:19Well, they asked a lot of questions
11:22About me and you
11:23They've even got this theory
11:25That you might have killed Ray
11:27And I helped you dispose of the body
11:30Well, that's ridiculous
11:31Well, they seem pretty convinced
11:33Any idea why that might be?
11:36Well, how would I know?
11:38Look
11:39I'm not judging you
11:40We know each other too well
11:42But you can trust me
11:45Is there anything that you need to tell me?
11:49Are you accusing Mum?
11:50No
11:50No
11:51I'm just asking the question
11:54Did you kill Ray?
11:56How can you even possibly imagine
12:10That I would kill somebody?
12:12Well, it's just that
12:12I had no reason to want him dead
12:14But you, on the other hand
12:15I'm not listening to you, honestly
12:16Look, I know how angry you were
12:18When you found out what he was really like
12:20If you did do it
12:23Your secret's safe with me
12:25That's all I'm saying
12:26I'm not a killer
12:26No, no
12:28If you say so
12:29Oh, so you don't believe me?
12:30Look, I don't know what to believe, Laurel
12:32I'm too busy trying to prove my own innocence
12:34If you didn't kill Ray
12:36Then you wouldn't need to prove anything
12:37Well, somebody
12:38Is clearly trying to set me up
12:40Ray was shifting his drugs through the depot
12:42Then his dead body ends up in the back of my van
12:44It's all too convenient
12:46I need to know the truth
12:48Yeah, by pinning the blame on me
12:49Look, that's not what I'm doing
12:51Look, if you say you didn't hurt Ray
12:53Then you just stop saying if, okay?
12:56Right
12:56I'm sorry
12:57I know you didn't kill him
12:59Nor did I
13:00But the police seem hell-bent
13:03So we need to protect each other
13:05Oh, no, I don't need anything from you, thank you
13:07Do you know what?
13:09Jay, just get out
13:10Why are you reacting like this?
13:14Just get out
13:15I'm only asking the question
13:16Get out!
13:16Get out!
13:16Hi
13:23Hey
13:24I appreciate you coming so promptly
13:26Who's this?
13:32It's my fiancée, Dawn
13:33Hi
13:34I was told it was just going to be you and him
13:37And you are?
13:40Detective Inspector Dent
13:42She was first in the scene when Mr Foster was killed
13:45Got the police involved
13:46She's not here in her official capacity
13:49I shouldn't be here at all
13:50She took some tracking down
13:52Oh, I appreciate your discretion
13:54I don't have much time
13:55Have you got a photo?
13:56Yeah
13:57Is this the man you found that day?
14:06Yes
14:06That's him
14:07Are you absolutely certain?
14:09Without a doubt
14:10I saw his body on the ground
14:11I saw it at the morgue
14:12This man's been dead for six years
14:14So unless he's Jesus
14:15Okay
14:16Thank you
14:17Thank you
14:20Okay
14:23You were right
14:24It's all in my head
14:26What do you want?
14:45Has Charity spoken to you?
14:47What?
14:49Of course she hasn't
14:50Look
14:51Mate
14:52There's something you need to know
14:55And
14:56It's not going to be easy to hear
14:58I've seen her emails
14:59The paternity test has come through
15:04And I'm not the dad
15:04Yeah
15:07Look
15:08About that
15:09It's funny, you know
15:10I
15:11I really
15:13I really thought I was going to be the dad
15:15And
15:16I know it's never really been
15:20I know it's never been about me
15:23It's just I
15:25I really wanted
15:26I really wanted that baby more than I've ever wanted anything
15:30Well
15:33Thank you very much
15:35I hope you got what you needed
15:37Yeah
15:37You certainly put my mind at ease
15:40Cheers
15:45Yeah
15:53Yeah
15:53It's sorted
15:54Well I told him exactly what he needed to hear
15:58Mac
16:13I'm so sorry
16:22That's not your fault
16:25Howie always knew that
16:27Me being a dad was going to be a long shot
16:29So
16:30So you saw it then?
16:35Hey
16:35At least
16:35You know
16:37Sarah and Jacob's
16:38Dream can
16:39Remain a reality
16:41Yeah
16:43Yeah
16:45And that's the bigger picture isn't it
16:46You need to concentrate on Moses and Reuben
16:49And who knows
16:51Maybe one day
16:51Chloe will
16:53Let you see him again
16:54If you ever find her
16:55Yeah thanks mate
17:00I'm sorry babe
17:03No it's fine
17:05I'm alright
17:06It's okay
17:08I just need a bit of time to clear my head with it
17:17That's all
17:18Why didn't you tell him
17:27You saw him
17:29Not kicking him when he's down
17:31Thank you
17:34I didn't do it for you you manipulative cow
17:36You want to lie and deceive your nearest and dearest
17:39Then fill your boots
17:40What do I care
17:41I didn't even want another kid anyway
17:43As far as I'm concerned
17:45Me and you
17:45Never happened
17:46And no one can prove otherwise
17:47Good luck sleeping at night
17:50You don't deserve a bloke like him
17:53That's Mandy again
17:59We need to speak to her
18:05I know I just
18:06I know
18:08If you keep ignoring her
18:10She's going to get more and more stressed
18:11Isn't she so
18:12Yeah
18:13Hiya
18:17Oh at last
18:19Sorry we were searching for me dad
18:22Oh any sign of him
18:24No
18:25Sweetheart
18:26You look raw
18:28I should be there
18:30Supporting you
18:31How's Tina and the kids
18:32You know our Tina and our kids
18:35Absolute nightmare
18:36Well we're very lucky to have you looking after him
18:39And I should be looking after you and all
18:41This is too much for you to cope with on your own
18:43Not on my own
18:44With Dylan
18:45Alright
18:47Hey look
18:48Oh
18:48You look as stressed as Paddy
18:51Look
18:51Just say the word right
18:53I can jump
18:54On the overnight ferry
18:55I can be their first thing
18:56Mandy
18:56You don't need to do that
18:58We're good
18:58Well
18:59We're not good
19:00Obviously but
19:01We've got each other's backs
19:03We're going to have to go back out looking for him
19:06We've got to carry on searching
19:08Okay
19:08I'll be back soon
19:10When's our Tina's
19:11Off remand
19:12Love you
19:14I love you too
19:15Bye
19:15Bye
19:16Bye
19:17Bye
19:17Right I'll go fill these back up
19:22Don't let Jay get to you
19:26He's obviously stressed out
19:27Even though that is no excuse for accusing innocent people
19:30I'm okay
19:32I don't really care what Jay thinks of me anyway
19:35If anything I feel sorry for him really
19:37I just thought that
19:40After I told them everything
19:42This would be over
19:43But it's just getting worse and worse
19:44The sooner the police find out who's responsible the better
19:47It's not fair having this hanging over us
19:50I need some air
19:50Now I'll come with you
19:52You don't have to
19:53Oh we'll all go
19:53We should stick together right now
19:55How'd I go with the police?
20:07You just asked a few more questions
20:08Have they spoken to you yet?
20:11Why would they?
20:12Everyone knows that April's like a daughter to you
20:15Hey
20:15We need a word with you
20:17I don't want any more trouble
20:19Alright
20:19I'm sorry
20:21I shouldn't have lashed out like that
20:23I suppose we've all been under a lot of pressure
20:25Tell me about it
20:26The police seem hell bent on pinning Ray's death on me and Laurel
20:31But I honestly had nothing to do with it
20:34Yeah well neither did I
20:35Sorry
20:36I was wrong to accuse you and Dylan
20:38Spoke to the police about Dylan
20:40I was wound up Paddy
20:42It's not easy being the number one suspect you know
20:45I mean come on
20:46You all know me
20:48I'm not perfect
20:50But I'm no killer am I?
20:58Yeah of course
20:59Anyone in my position would say that wouldn't they?
21:02But it's true
21:03I have no idea
21:07How Ray's body ended up in the back of my van
21:10But I know for a fact
21:12That it wasn't me that put him there
21:14Who do you think did then?
21:16I don't know
21:17Your guess is as good as mine
21:23But it has to be someone from around here
21:29And someone with a good reason to want Ray dead
21:34And they'll have made a mistake somewhere along the way
21:38It's only a matter of time until the truth comes out
21:42I don't know
21:43I don't know
21:43It's only a matter of time from me
21:44I don't know
21:45I think that's the truth
21:47I think that's why I was in the back of my van
21:48I think that's how I would let it be
21:50And I think that's how I know
21:50How I know
21:51I think that's how I know
21:52I think that's how I think it was
21:53I think that's how I think it was
21:53That's how I need to do
