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.
01:19I mean...
01:19I...
01:19I...
01:24I...
01:37I...
01:38Oh, Ted, I 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.
02:25Way off.
02:26You okay?
02:27Yeah, why wouldn't I be?
02:29Don't you?
02:30Seem a bit...
02:31No, can I 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?
02:43What are you keeping me in suspended?
02:45Is it? Marlon?
02:49Marlon!
03:04Where is she?
03:05I don't know, Marlon, but what I do know is she ain't coming back.
03:10What does that mean? What have you done to her?
03:11Have you hurt us?
03:16You are pathetic. Do you know now?
03:18I just want my little girl back!
03:20Your little girl is gone!
03:22If you come sipping about here again, you're a dead man!
03:27Okay?
03:35You need to tell me where she is.
03:37And you need to shift.
03:38No chance in hell! Do you hear me?
03:40I can stand here all day if I have to. Where is she?
03:43What have you done to her?
03:46Go on, do it!
03:47Do it!
03:47Roll me over! I'm not moving!
03:49Get out of the way, you idiot!
03:51Not until you answer the questions!
03:53Where's my door? Where are you keeping her?
03:54No, you're keeping her!
03:57Can I have all of you, sis?
04:05So what now?
04:06If you've answered the question, I swear to God!
04:09I'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.
04:25Please, 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 and go home?
04:34Where is she?!
04:35I've told you!
04:36I don't know!
04:40Ray!
04:41Ray!
04:41Ray!
04:42Ray!
04:43At least tell me I'm hurt her!
04:46Because if you have, I'll kill you!
04:48I'll kill you!
05:06Ah! I was just phoning you!
05:20Just to let you know, I'm going to get off to Lincoln, but I'll be back tomorrow, so be good. You've got the house to yourself.
05:25You've got everything all right?
05:26You've got everything all right?
05:29Please don't go to Lincoln!
05:30Why, what's up?
05:31Why, what's up?
05:32What is it?
05:34Dylan!
05:35You can tell me!
05:36I've said something I shouldn't have.
05:37I've said something I shouldn't have.
05:38Like what?
05:39Dylan, listen, calm down. All right? It can't be that bad.
05:42It can.
05:43Well, what is it?
05:44Dylan, I can't help you unless you tell me. And whatever it is, we can sort it.
05:45All right, yeah.
05:46So tell me!
05:47I've not been honest with you.
05:48Honest about what?
05:49About me, everything. Paddy, he's not who you think he is.
05:52He ran you down and tried to kill you.
05:54But...
05:55Oh!
05:56Oh!
05:57Oh!
05:58Oh!
05:59Oh!
06:00Oh!
06:01Oh!
06:02Oh!
06:03Oh!
06:04Oh!
06:05Oh!
06:06Oh!
06:07Oh!
06:08Oh!
06:09Oh!
06:10Oh!
06:11Oh!
06:12Oh!
06:13Oh!
06:14Oh!
06:15When 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.
06:34I really liked him.
06:36I could have been so stupid.
06:39I'm scared, Paddy.
06:40Oh, don't be.
06:41It'll be fine.
06:42We'll sort it.
06:43How, though?
06:44I just thought it.
06:46How long's April been missing?
06:49A couple days.
06:51Right.
06:54So 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.
07:03But like everybody else, he knows he has to toe the line.
07:05I wish you'd told me about this.
07:06I wanted to.
07:07Alright?
07:08I swear I did, but I couldn't.
07:09It was too dangerous.
07:11Paddy, they come and get you.
07:13Look, they kill people that know too much.
07:14That's why Marlon didn't say oh.
07:15He was protecting you.
07:16Well, I'm not scared of them.
07:17Then you should be okay, cos they're not like us.
07:20They don't treat people like human beings, alright?
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.
07:32What?
07:39What 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, Marlon, 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!
07:59Marlon!
08:01Marlon!
08:02Marlon, please don't do this!
08:04Marlon!
08:10Please, Marlon, don't do this!
08:12Marlon!
08:16Marlon!
08:18Marlon, please!
08:19Please!
08:21I just need to speak to you!
08:25Oh!
08:32Marlon!
08:49Marlon, please!
08:53Marlon, please reach out for real!
08:56All the way down here is!
08:57What the hell are you doing with a knife?
09:23I don't know about you,
09:24but I'm getting a bit freaked out looking at that.
09:28So I want to take that off you,
09:30and you, my friend,
09:32are not going to do anything, all right?
09:35Just go away. Leave me alone.
09:38You weren't on a...
09:39Yes, I was, and I still am!
09:41Look, I have absolutely no idea what's going on,
09:45but I do know that it is not worth doing time for.
09:47He's got April.
09:49What?
09:51Where's April?
09:51What are you talking about?
09:52Oh, April's missing.
09:54And he knows where she is.
09:58Okay.
10:00Let's go back to mine and have a little chat.
10:12Doesn't make sense.
10:16What's he doing up there?
10:20He's just working for him.
10:22Doing what?
10:23Laboring,
10:26menial stuff,
10:27anything that earns money for Ray and Celia.
10:30And like I say,
10:30there's loads of them.
10:34Look, I'm really sorry.
10:39How come I've never seen him up there?
10:40Because when they're working, they're out at the back and when they're not, they're locked away.
10:46It's barely five miles away.
10:48It doesn't make sense.
10:49I know.
10:49And why him?
10:50Why me dad?
10:52Because they prey on the vulnerable, all right?
10:54They offer them food and shelter, somewhere to put their head down for the night.
10:57And then they take the money and all the personal belongings, then they strip them down of everything
11:02else they own, so they're just, you know, totally relying on them.
11:06And 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.
11:21Even April tried helping him escape, but he refused.
11:24April spoke to him?
11:25Yeah.
11:27But,
11:28why 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, especially Ray, okay?
11:35He treats him like a son.
11:39I'm going to get up there now.
11:40No, you can't.
11:41I am not leaving him there after what you've just told me.
11:43How can I?
11:44Because they'll kill you.
11:51I can't get my head around any of this.
11:54You didn't think to come to me.
11:57There's no point.
11:59Then maybe you want to tell me in your own words what you did do, because it sounded like
12:03you did absolutely naff all.
12:04What are you talking about?
12:06I did everything I could.
12:08I went to the police.
12:09I tried to get April to give a statement, but she ran out.
12:12So I tried telling the cops what happened.
12:14They said there wasn't enough evidence.
12:14They had to sit tight while they investigated the whole operation.
12:17Then we tried running away.
12:19And Ray and his heavies followed us, blocked us in, intimidate us, made us turn around.
12:23We took out loans, Ross, that we're still paying off.
12:25I sold my car just so I could give Ray 20 grand.
12:29You heard that right.
12:3020,000 pounds.
12:32But guess what?
12:33It wasn't enough.
12:34Nothing is ever enough for them, so don't you dare tell me I didn't do enough, because
12:38these last few weeks have nearly killed me and Rona.
12:40I'm sorry.
12:42No, I'm sorry.
12:43It's fine.
12:43What I'm trying to tell you is we're dealing with animals here.
12:46Animals, not people.
12:47Then we need to find where April is.
12:50When I went to the farm this morning, I asked him where she was.
12:52He said he didn't know, but I don't believe him.
12:53He'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
12:58she is?
12:59I wasn't thinking of.
13:02I just want her back.
13:05I want her home where she belongs.
13:08Then we need to find Ray.
13:10And we need to make him start talking.
13:12And if he doesn't want to do it voluntarily, then we'll have to make him.
13:18Paddy, you need to think this through.
13:20Well, I've thought about it.
13:20I think, all right, I'm going.
13:22Yeah, and what if he doesn't want to come home?
13:24All right, I've told you.
13:25He's brainwashed.
13:26He 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.
13:31He's a changed man from the one you knew, all right?
13:34You probably won't even be able to recognise him.
13:36What are you on about?
13:37Well, he's been there a long time, hasn't he?
13:39And he's not treated well.
13:40He's not been given enough food.
13:42And they're all beaten up to keep in line.
13:44Well, there's even more reason to go and get him.
13:45And I'm going to the police.
13:46You can't do that.
13:47It'll just make it worse.
13:48How could it be any worse?
13:50Paddy, listen to me.
13:51If Ray finds out you've gone at the police,
13:53he'll come after you, all right?
13:54Then he'll come after your family.
13:56Even Eve won't be saved, Paddy.
13:58I just don't think you realise what you're dealing with.
14:01Stay around and do nothing.
14:03Paddy, listen to me, all right?
14:05You can't just go up there all gun-ho or whatever
14:08because you'll fail.
14:09You need a plan.
14:10Yeah, and I can't just leave him there either, can I?
14:13Paddy, listen to me.
14:14I know what you are.
14:39And I know what you do to people.
14:42Why is my dad locked up like an animal?
14:45Well, I might be able to answer that if you let me go.
14:48I can see upset.
14:49I understand.
14:51However, your dad was working for us.
14:55He wasn't being kept against his will.
14:56He could have left at any time.
14:59Now, if you really don't mind,
15:01I have to be somewhere else.
15:03Dylan told me everything.
15:05How you tried to kill him.
15:08Yeah, well...
15:10I might be guilty of the real thing in a minute
15:13if you don't back off.
15:15You're not denying it, then?
15:17Of course I'm denying it,
15:19but you're the last person I have to answer to.
15:22Answer to the police, then.
15:25It's when my dad gets home
15:26and he tells him what's been going on.
15:29You and your mother.
15:32are going away
15:33for a very long time, bro.
15:37You might have a bit of a problem with that,
15:40seeing as your dad is dead.
15:47You're not on your own anymore.
15:49Remember that.
15:50I just want her home.
15:51And she will be.
15:52Today, I'm going to find her,
15:53and that is a promise.
15:54Do you know what I beat myself up about the most?
15:57Is that...
16:00He groomed her.
16:01He groomed her right under our noses.
16:06Sent her out to sell drugs.
16:12Prostituted her.
16:12Me and Rona had no idea.
16:17We had no idea.
16:20Maybe he does need annihilator.
16:22Listen.
16:23Protect yourself.
16:24He is dangerous.
16:25Oh, don't you worry about me, mate.
16:27I'm more than a match for him.
16:28And just so we're clear,
16:29I'm not...
16:30I'm not asking you to...
16:31Aren't you?
16:37Anyway.
16:39I'm not just doing this for you.
16:41I'm doing this for Donna.
16:42I'm doing this for Donna.
16:42How did he die?
16:56Does that matter?
17:01Your dad was a good man.
17:02And I am, uh...
17:05I'm truly sorry for your loss.
17:08Oh, where's his body?
17:10Don't need to bury him.
17:12I'm afraid, um,
17:14that won't be possible.
17:20Did you kill him?
17:22No.
17:23No, I could never do that.
17:26I liked your dad.
17:27He was a good friend.
17:30And you have no idea
17:31what I've done
17:32to get revenge for his death.
17:37He was like a father to me.
17:40He was a prisoner.
17:41No.
17:42Not at all, buddy.
17:43You don't know
17:43what you're talking about.
17:44Your dad loved it at the farm.
17:47He felt safe.
17:49He felt secure.
17:50And let's be honest,
17:51he wouldn't have been
17:52living with us
17:53if it wasn't for you.
17:54What do you mean?
17:56You and him had a big
17:56falling out, didn't you?
17:58How do you know about that?
18:00Because he told me.
18:02He said he felt
18:02abandoned
18:03and he wasn't
18:05welcome at yours anymore.
18:09What he needed
18:10was help.
18:12Not chucking out.
18:15Because he was
18:17depressed, Paddy.
18:18And I spotted it
18:21as soon as I saw him.
18:22How could you miss it?
18:24He was living in his car.
18:26And he had been
18:27for weeks
18:28when I first met him.
18:30I gave him
18:31somewhere to live.
18:33Shelter.
18:33Food in his belly.
18:34Money in his pocket.
18:36So don't you get
18:36all pious with me
18:38because it won't wash.
18:39I took care
18:40of your dad.
18:41You took advantage
18:45of a vulnerable man.
18:47You make kids
18:47sell drugs
18:48and prostitute themselves
18:50just for you
18:51to make money.
18:53Now,
18:54be careful,
18:55because you are
18:56getting out of your
18:56debt now.
19:01Matt.
19:02Matt.
19:03Matt.
19:06Matt.
19:06Matt.
19:07Matt.
19:07Matt.
19:07Matt.
19:11What kind of man
19:22are you?
19:23Somebody minds
19:23my own business.
19:25So,
19:25if you're planning
19:26on phoning the police,
19:28I urge you
19:28to think again.
19:30You're threatening me.
19:30Every action
19:31has a consequence.
19:33Isaac Newton
19:33said that, I think.
19:34Think you're clever,
19:35don't you?
19:35No,
19:36but I am good
19:37at what I do.
19:38And knowing you
19:39as I do,
19:40it is obvious
19:41you are out
19:42of your league.
19:43So,
19:43I'm going to give
19:44you some advice
19:45for free
19:45to stay in your lane.
19:47Or what?
19:49I'll finish the job off.
19:50What job?
19:51Well,
19:51where your pretend
19:52son,
19:53Dylan,
19:53is concerned,
19:54only I won't
19:54cock it up this time.
19:55You know what I mean?
19:57Yeah.
19:59You're going to get
20:00what's come to you
20:01and all.
20:03Oh,
20:03you still want to know
20:04who killed your dad?
20:05It'd be a shame
20:05to leave you hanging.
20:08It was Celia.
20:09And it wasn't quick.
20:12Nice talking to you,
20:13Patrick.
20:13Patrick.
20:39Have a nice read.
20:46I'm looking for it.
20:49I'm looking for it.
20:51It's soculussy
20:53that she ate
20:57and she bites
20:58and I'm looking for it.
20:59Oh my God,
21:00you're looking for it.
21:03Oh no,
21:05I can't wait...
21:06I'm going...
21:06I'm not going
