00:00I have no
00:29idea how Ray's body
00:32ended up in the back of my van, but I know
00:34for a fact that it wasn't
00:36me that put him there. Who do you think did that?
00:38I don't know, but it has to be someone
00:40from round here.
00:41And someone with a good reason
00:44to want Ray dead.
00:52Do you know what I beat myself up about
00:54the most?
00:55Is that...
00:57He groomed her.
01:00He groomed her right under our noses.
01:05Sent her out to sell drugs.
01:10Prostituted.
01:13Me and Rona
01:14had no idea.
01:16We had no idea.
01:18Maybe he does need an alien.
01:19Someone, man.
01:30We had no idea.
01:31He's still on our own left.
01:31Then, that guy says to me,
01:32it's come back.
01:32Stay between me and the rona.
01:33math
01:33And I know his friends.
01:34As long as we see, this woman's now
01:36going off.
01:36I've been here.
01:36Okay?
01:37Let me know.
01:37Maybe?
01:38I've been here.
01:38Oh, Ted.
01:55I didn't mean it to be like this.
01:59I'm so sorry, mate.
02:06I'm so sorry.
02:08Someone's in a rush.
02:24Way off.
02:25You okay?
02:27Yeah.
02:28Why wouldn't I be?
02:29Don't you?
02:30It's even a bit...
02:31No, I'm trying to talk to you.
02:32What are you doing at lunchtime?
02:33Sorry?
02:34Well, just wondered if you fancied meeting up
02:36before I go to this Vets Conference thing in Lincoln.
02:41Is it a yes or a yes?
02:43Why are you keeping me suspended?
02:44Yeah, Lizzie.
02:45Marlon?
02:47Marlon!
02:48Where is she?
03:05I don't know, Marlon, but what I do know is she ain't coming back.
03:09What does that mean?
03:10What have you done to her?
03:11Have you hurt her?
03:12Sorry.
03:13You are pathetic.
03:17Do you know now?
03:18I just want my little girl back!
03:20Your little girl is gone!
03:22If you come sniffing about here again, you're a dead man!
03:27Okay?
03:36You need to tell me where she is.
03:37And you need to shift.
03:39No chance in hell, do you hear me?
03:41I can stand here all day if I have to.
03:43Where is she?
03:44What have you done to her?
03:46Go on, do it!
03:47Do it!
03:48Run me over!
03:49I'm not moving!
03:50Get out of the way, you idiot!
03:51Not until you answer the questions!
03:53Where's my daughter?
03:54Where are you keeping her?
03:56Can I have all of you, sis?
04:06So what now?
04:07If you've answered the questions, I swear to God, I'll kill you with my bare hands!
04:11Well, do it!
04:12Well, do your worst!
04:15Come on!
04:19You can't, can you, Marlon?
04:22Because you haven't got it in you.
04:24Please, I'm begging you.
04:27I'm begging you.
04:28I just want her back.
04:31Why don't you just do us both a favour?
04:33And go home.
04:34Where is she?
04:35I've told you.
04:37I don't know.
04:40Ray!
04:41Ray!
04:42Ray!
04:43Ray!
04:44At least tell me I'm hurt her!
04:46Because if you have, I'll kill you!
04:48I'll kill you.
04:54Oh!
04:55I just phoning you!
04:56Ah, I was just phoning you.
05:20Just to let you know, I'm going to get off to Lincoln.
05:22But I'll be back tomorrow, so be good.
05:24You've got the house to yourself.
05:26Everything all right?
05:29Please don't go to Lincoln.
05:30Why, what's up?
05:32What is it?
05:34Dylan, you can tell me.
05:39I've said something I shouldn't have.
05:40Like what?
05:42Dylan, listen, calm down.
05:44All right?
05:45It can't be that bad.
05:46It can.
05:48Well, what is it?
05:50Dylan, I can't help you unless you tell me.
05:52And whatever it is, we can sort it.
05:54All right, yeah.
05:54Something to help me.
05:57I've not been honest with you.
05:59Honest about what?
06:01About Ray, everything.
06:03Paddy is not who you think he is.
06:08He ran you down and tried to kill you.
06:11But, when you were in a coma, he never left the hospital.
06:18He was really worried about you.
06:19Yeah, worried I might wake up.
06:22What?
06:26Look, I know too much, okay?
06:28And now so do you.
06:30I'm really sorry.
06:31I should have told you all of this ages ago.
06:33I really liked him.
06:37I could have been so stupid.
06:39I'm scared, Paddy.
06:41Oh, don't be.
06:41It'll be fine.
06:42We'll sort it.
06:43How, though?
06:43I don't know.
06:44We'll just sort it.
06:44How long's April been missing?
06:48A couple days.
06:51Right.
06:53So that's why Marlon was weird this morning.
06:58I bet he wants to kill Ray.
07:00I know I do.
07:01Yeah, he does.
07:02Of course he does.
07:02But like everybody else, he knows he has to toe the line.
07:05I wish you'd told me about this.
07:06I wanted to.
07:07All right?
07:08I swear I did, but I couldn't.
07:09It was too dangerous.
07:11Paddy, they come and get you.
07:12Look, they kill people that know too much.
07:14That's why Marlon didn't say oh.
07:15He was protecting you.
07:17Well, I'm not scared of them.
07:17Then you should be, okay, because they're not like us.
07:20They don't treat people like human beings, all right?
07:22They treat them like dirt.
07:27And there's something else you need to know.
07:31They've got your dad up at the farm.
07:34What?
07:38What do you mean?
07:40What's my dad got to do with any of this?
07:42They've got him and a load of others locked up in the attic.
07:47They're keeping them as slaves, Paddy.
07:50But, Laurie, you've no idea what I have done for us.
07:53No, there is no us, okay?
07:55Whatever we had is over.
07:57Get that into your head!
07:59Laurel!
08:01Laurel!
08:02Laurel, please don't do this!
08:04Laurel!
08:08Please, Laurel, don't do this!
08:12Laurel!
08:16Laurel!
08:17Laurel, please!
08:19Please!
08:21I just need to speak to you!
08:25Oh!
08:26I just need to know what I have done for you!
08:27I just need to know what I have done for you!
08:28I just need to know what I have done for you!
08:29I just need to know what I have done for you!
08:30I just need to know what I have done for you!
08:31I just need to know what I have done for you!
08:32I need to know what I have done for you!
08:33I need to know what I have done for you!
08:34I need to know what I have done for you!
08:35I need to know what I have done for you!
08:36I need to know what I have done for you!
08:37I need to know what I have done for you!
08:38I need to know what I have done for you!
08:39I need to know what I have done for you!
08:40I need to know what I have done for you!
08:41I need to know what I have done for you!
08:42What the hell are you doing with a knife?
09:12I don't know about you, but I'm getting a bit freaked out looking at that.
09:28So I'm gonna take that off you, and you, my friend, are not gonna do anything, alright?
09:36Just go away. Leave me alone.
09:38You weren't on a... Yes, I was, and I still am!
09:41Look, I have absolutely no idea what's going on, but I do know that it is not worth doing
09:46time for.
09:47He's got April.
09:48What?
09:49Where's April?
09:50What are you talking about?
09:52April's missing.
09:54And he knows where she is.
09:58Okay?
09:59Let's go back to mining.
10:01Have a little chat.
10:03It doesn't make sense.
10:04What's he doing up there?
10:18He's just working for them.
10:21Doing what?
10:22Laboring.
10:23Menial stuff.
10:24Anything that earns money for Ray and Celia.
10:28And like I say, there's loads of them.
10:30Look, I'm really sorry.
10:34How come I've never seen him up there?
10:41Because when they're working, they're out at the back, and when they're not, they're
10:44locked away.
10:45It's barely five miles away.
10:47It doesn't make sense.
10:48I know.
10:49And why him?
10:50Why me dad?
10:51Because they prey on the vulnerable, alright?
10:53They offer them food and shelter.
10:55Somewhere to put their head down for the night.
10:57And then they take the money and all the personal belongings.
11:00Then they strip them down of everything else they own, so they're just, you know, totally
11:04relying on them.
11:05And then they brainwash them into believing they can't survive without them, so after a
11:10while they just, you know, accept it.
11:13But honestly, Paddy, I didn't know anything about it until recently, okay?
11:18But I've seen Bear working on the farm.
11:20Even April tried helping him escape, but he refused.
11:23April's spoken to him?
11:25Yeah.
11:26But why doesn't he just leave if he's being held there against his will?
11:31Because he thinks that Ray and Celia are his friends.
11:33Especially Ray, okay?
11:34He treats him like a son.
11:36I'm gonna get up there now.
11:39No, you can't.
11:40I am not leaving him there after what you've just told me.
11:42How can I?
11:43Because they'll kill you.
11:50I can't get my head around any of this.
11:53You didn't think to come to me?
11:56There's no point.
11:58Then maybe you want to tell me in your own words what you did do.
12:01Because it sounded like you did absolutely naff all.
12:03What are you talking about?
12:05I did everything I could.
12:07I went to the police.
12:09Tried to get April to give a statement, but she ran out.
12:11So I tried telling the cops what happened.
12:13They said there wasn't enough evidence.
12:14They had to sit tight while they investigated the whole operation.
12:17Then we tried running away.
12:18And Ray and his heavy's followed us.
12:20Blocked us in.
12:21Intimidators made us turn round.
12:22We took out loans, Ross, that we're still paying off.
12:25I sold my car.
12:26Just so I could give Ray 20 grand.
12:28You heard that right.
12:2920,000 pounds.
12:31But guess what?
12:32It wasn't enough.
12:33Nothing is ever enough for them.
12:35So don't you dare tell me I didn't do enough.
12:37Because these last few weeks have nearly killed me and Rona.
12:39I'm sorry.
12:40No, I'm sorry.
12:42It's fine.
12:43What I'm trying to tell you is we're dealing with animals here.
12:45Animals, not people.
12:46Then we need to find where April is.
12:49When I went to the farm this morning, I asked him where she was.
12:51He said he didn't know but I don't believe him.
12:52He's lying.
12:53He's lying.
12:54Well then why were you thinking of topping him if he's the only person who knows where she is?
12:58I wasn't thinking of.
13:02I just want her back.
13:04I want her home where she belongs.
13:07Then we need to find Ray.
13:09And we need to make him start talking.
13:11And if he doesn't want to do it voluntarily,
13:13then we'll have to make him.
13:17Paddy, you need to think this through.
13:19Well I've thought about it.
13:20Alright, I'm going.
13:21Yeah, and what if he doesn't want to come home?
13:23Alright, I've told you.
13:24He's brainwashed.
13:25He actually thinks he likes it up there.
13:27Right, well he used to like it here and all.
13:29I don't think you're getting what I'm saying.
13:30He's a changed man from the one you knew.
13:33Alright, you probably won't even be able to recognise him.
13:35What are you on about?
13:36Well he's been there a long time, hasn't he?
13:38And he's not treated well, he's not been given enough food.
13:41And they're all beaten up to keep in line.
13:43Well there's even more reason to go and game.
13:44And I'm going to the police.
13:45You can't do that.
13:46It'll just make it worse.
13:47How could it be any worse?
13:49Paddy, listen to me.
13:50If Ray finds out you've gone at the police,
13:52he'll come after you.
13:53Alright?
13:54Then he'll come after your family.
13:55Even Eve won't be saved, Paddy.
13:57I just don't think you realise what you're dealing with.
14:00Stay around and do nothing.
14:02Paddy!
14:03Listen to me, alright?
14:04You can't just go up there all gun-ho or whatever,
14:07because you've failed, you need a plan.
14:09Yeah, and I can't just leave him there either, can I?
14:12Paddy, listen to me!
14:32Oh no.
14:37I know who you are.
14:39And I know what you do to people.
14:41Why is my dad locked up like an animal?
14:44Well, I might be able to answer that if you let me go.
14:47I can see you upset.
14:49I understand.
14:50However, your dad was working for us.
14:54He wasn't being kept against his will.
14:56He could have left at any time.
14:58Now, if you really don't mind,
15:00I have to be somewhere else.
15:02Dylan sold me everything.
15:04How you tried to kill him.
15:06Yeah, well...
15:08I might be guilty of the real thing in a minute,
15:12if you don't back off.
15:14You're not denying it then?
15:15Of course I'm denying it,
15:18but you're the last person I have to answer to.
15:20Answer to the police then.
15:23It's when my dad gets home,
15:25and he tells them what's been going on.
15:28You...
15:29and your mother...
15:31are going away...
15:32for a very long time.
15:34Well...
15:35You might have a bit of a problem with that.
15:38Seeing as your dad...
15:40is dead.
15:41You're not on your own anymore.
15:44Remember that.
15:45I just want her home.
15:46And she will be.
15:47Today.
15:48I'm going to find her,
15:49and that is a promise.
15:50Do you know what I beat myself up about the most?
15:52Is it?
15:53He groomed her.
15:55He groomed her right under our noses.
15:58Sent her out to sell drugs.
16:01Prostituted her.
16:14Me and Rona had no idea.
16:16We had no idea.
16:18Maybe he does need annihilator.
16:20Listen.
16:22Protect yourself.
16:23He is dangerous.
16:24Oh, don't you worry about me, mate.
16:26I'm more than a match for him.
16:27Just so we're clear,
16:28I'm not...
16:29I'm not asking you to...
16:30Aren't you?
16:35Anyway.
16:37I'm not just doing this for you.
16:40I'm doing this for Donna.
16:53How did he die?
16:55Does that matter?
16:57Your dad was a good man.
17:02And I am, uh...
17:04I'm truly sorry for your loss.
17:07Well, where's his body?
17:09I don't need to bury him.
17:12I'm afraid, um,
17:13that won't be possible.
17:20Did she kill him?
17:21No.
17:22No.
17:23No, I could never do that.
17:24I liked your dad.
17:26He was a good friend.
17:29And you have no idea what I've done to get revenge for his death.
17:37He was like a father to me.
17:40He was a prisoner.
17:41No.
17:42Not at all, Paddy.
17:43You don't know what you're talking about.
17:44Your dad loved it at the farm.
17:46He felt safe.
17:48He felt secure.
17:49And let's be honest,
17:51he wouldn't have been living with us if it wasn't for you.
17:54What do you mean?
17:55You and him had a big falling out, didn't you?
17:58How do you know about that?
17:59Because he told me.
18:01He said he felt abandoned.
18:03And he wasn't welcome at yours anymore.
18:09What he needed was help.
18:11Not chucking out.
18:14Because he was depressed, Paddy.
18:18And I spotted it as soon as I saw him.
18:21How could you miss it?
18:23He was living in his car.
18:26And he had been for weeks when I first met him.
18:29I gave him somewhere to live.
18:32Shelter.
18:33Food in his belly.
18:34Money in his pocket.
18:35So don't you get all pious with me because it won't wash.
18:38I took care of your dad.
18:41Yes, you did wash.
18:43You took advantage of a vulnerable man.
18:45You make kids sell drugs and prostitute themselves.
18:49Just for you.
18:51To make money.
18:53Now, be careful, big man.
18:54Because you are getting out of your debt now.
19:15What kind of man are you?
19:21Somebody minds my own business.
19:24So, if you're planning on phoning the police, I urge you to think again.
19:28Are you threatening me?
19:29Well, every action has a consequence.
19:32Isaac Newton said that, I think.
19:33Think you're clever, don't you?
19:34No.
19:35But I am good at what I do.
19:37And knowing you as I do, it is obvious you are out of your league.
19:42So, I'm going to give you some advice for free to stay in your lane.
19:47Or what?
19:48I'll finish the job off.
19:49What job?
19:50Well, where your pretend son Dylan is concerned.
19:53Only I won't cock it up this time.
19:55You know what I mean?
19:56Yeah.
19:59You're going to get what's coming to you and all.
20:02Oh, you still want to know who killed your dad?
20:04It would be a shame to leave you hanging.
20:06It was Celia.
20:09And it wasn't quick.
20:11Nice talking to you, Patrick.
20:36Let's be back.
20:37I hope you get what you killed son Dylan's house.
20:39There's plenty of people.
20:40You and the man who killed his father didn't.
20:46Thanks.
20:57I don't want to witness you, him didn't know which ofanne and he couldn't help us out.
21:02I don't know.
21:32I don't know.
