00:30Don't they say, if someone hasn't turned up in the first week or two, they're probably dead in a ditch?
00:48Nice one, Nico. Always the voice of optimism.
00:52What? I'm being realistic. How long's this dapping gone now?
00:56Weirdo life goes on. What? It's just jars, everything carrying on like normal.
01:02Are you sure there's nothing we can be doing?
01:05About my dad? No.
01:09We're in that place just to look, really. And to be honest, it could be anywhere.
01:14Everyone just wants to help.
01:15Yes, they do. And they're being ever so nice. But I'm trying to learn to be patient.
01:23Are you going somewhere?
01:25What?
01:27Oh, yeah. Work.
01:29Listen, we're okay, aren't we? You and me.
01:31I think so.
01:34Marlon, none of this is your fault. No one knew.
01:39He'll turn up.
01:39Cheers. Bye.
01:57Oi. Do you reckon this is hyper-processed?
02:00I'm not sure hyper-processed is a thing, is it?
02:03I don't think that's what he said. But then again, he says a lot.
02:06Ultra-processed.
02:07Basically, is Lewis going to go in a mard because I've eaten all his organic stuff and replaced it with this?
02:17Hi, Paddy.
02:19How you doing? You alright?
02:20Yeah, I'm alright, yeah.
02:23I really am alright.
02:27Any news about your dad?
02:29No, nothing.
02:31Must be a nightmare.
02:33Anyway, while we're talking, would you mind stopping by the farm and having a look at one of the cows?
02:37Well, it looks a bit lame to me.
02:39Moira would know straight off, but...
02:41Well, she's not here.
02:43You're on the surgery?
02:45No, but I'm talking to you.
02:46I haven't got my schedule.
02:48Oh, come on, man. Listen, if we had seen anything going on, or if we had heard anything, we would have said.
02:53I know!
02:54Sorry, Ross. I'm not blaming you or anybody else.
03:01Celia should be locked up. Not Moira. I'm just, you know, I'm just...
03:06That'll do.
03:08I'll pop in later.
03:09Please tell me you've got some good news.
03:30Sorry.
03:31Every force in the country has your dad's photograph. You'll be the first to know if we do hit anything.
03:36Right, and Ray's killer? Have you got, er...
03:40What do you call it?
03:41A person of interest?
03:43I can tell you that we're very keen to talk to Celia Daniels.
03:46And are you any closer to finding her?
03:48I can't really talk to you about the ongoing investigation. Sorry.
03:49No, no, I know that, but it's worrying, isn't it? I mean, has she got my dad, or...?
03:56Try to stay positive. We've got a lot of resources focused on tracking her down. Okay?
04:10Dylan, is everything under control?
04:14Right, look, erm, I've just bumped into the police and they're properly going after Celia for it.
04:20Yeah. I'm on me way.
04:26Tell me, mate.
04:29Oh. Okay.
04:32I guess I'll be keeping my shoes on then.
04:34For my own safety.
04:36You alright, Harry? Hey, how you doing?
04:40Look what I made.
04:42Oh, I know what that is. Don't tell me. Don't tell me.
04:46That.
04:46Well, whatever it is, I like it.
04:51Harry, why don't you go upstairs, brush your teeth and choose some clothes, okay?
04:55Goodbye.
04:56Why isn't he at school?
05:01Because I'm keeping him home. He was up half the night crying. He wants to know where his Uncle John is.
05:07So I finally told him. Told him he'd died.
05:11Good.
05:18You told him the truth.
05:18Well, not exactly.
05:20You told him the truth.
05:22So now you don't have to worry about it anymore.
05:24What?
05:25Vic, you need to keep holding it together.
05:27I'm sorry that I don't do the seasoned psychopath thing so well.
05:30You've got nothing to feel guilty about.
05:32You did what needed doing it. You probably saved lives.
05:36So now we move on.
05:39For his sake.
05:40I've just been talking to Paddy.
05:51And?
05:52How is he?
05:53I don't know. I just got really nervous and waffled.
05:59I didn't expect us to pick up like nothing's happened.
06:01And he keeps saying you don't blame me, but he's been really distant.
06:04Must be horrible.
06:06Not knowing anything about Bear.
06:07Come in.
06:08Thanks.
06:14Is everything okay?
06:15Um, do you mind if I...
06:17Please sit down here.
06:18Thanks.
06:19I've just got a few more questions.
06:21That's okay.
06:22Shouldn't take long.
06:25Mr Dingle, can you tell me where you were on the day of January 2nd?
06:31January?
06:32That was the day of the serious road traffic accident.
06:35The one that involved quite a few members of the community.
06:38Is that the day that Ray died?
06:40I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to confirm anything at this stage.
06:43In other words, yes.
06:44So, Mr Dingle.
06:46You're not serious.
06:48We're still ruling people out.
06:50The sooner we can get a clearer picture of everyone's movements, the sooner we can leave you to your day.
06:54The sooner we can get a better picture of everyone's life, the sooner we can go to the next station.
07:11Hiya.
07:14What are you doing?
07:16It's good. You know, the police pinning it on Syria.
07:19Still got a little way to go here.
07:21Completely exhausted from lying to everyone.
07:23Even Marlum's like me best mate.
07:26Totally during the heading.
07:29How's it been?
07:31Er, quiet.
07:33But we've been over it again.
07:35I've said it so many times I'm starting to believe it myself.
07:38You know, kept on a farming hole, escaped, found his way back.
07:41Now he's asking where in the hole.
07:43And what did you say?
07:44I just said it doesn't matter. You know, no one knows, so...
07:49He must be ready to be let out soon.
07:53Because you trust him.
07:54As in what, stick to the story?
07:59I hate this.
08:01Just want to get him out of there.
08:02Get him home.
08:09Hey Dad.
08:11Oh, well, honestly.
08:13Yeah, maybe.
08:14Oh, bye love.
08:15Have a good day.
08:16Yeah.
08:17Love you.
08:20Oh, what was that?
08:21Why is he so moody all the time?
08:24Nick, if I tell you something, you won't tell anyone, will you?
08:28Erm, yeah, okay.
08:30Arthur stole drugs.
08:31What?
08:32Off Ray.
08:33I found them before he could do anything with them.
08:35Oh my God, like what?
08:36Take them?
08:37Sell them?
08:38No, I don't think so.
08:39I mean, he claims that he didn't know the drugs were in the bag.
08:41He was trying to be helpful.
08:43He wanted to grab Ray's passport before he vanished.
08:47So, where are the drugs now?
08:49Oh, I don't know.
08:50I'll skip their water.
08:51I'll just chuck them down the sink.
08:52But anyway, it gets, erm, it gets worse.
08:56We had a really bad argument and, erm, I hit him.
09:03So, apart from Mr Dingle, Paddy Dingle, did anybody else see you?
09:09Erm, Rona and Ross Barton.
09:12Erm, April's missing, so I went looking for her.
09:15I was worried and Ross offered to help, but she came home.
09:17So, false alarm.
09:21And, Rona, your movements that day?
09:23I'm sorry.
09:24Why is this necessary?
09:25Why now?
09:26Oh, it's okay.
09:27Erm, I've cancelled whatever appointments I had.
09:30Well, like Marlon said, we were just worried about April.
09:33So, there were no clients?
09:38Did you talk to or meet up with anybody that day?
09:41No, just Marlon.
09:43So, are we suspects now?
09:44Is that it?
09:45Or are you not even allowed to tell us?
09:46As if we haven't all been through enough.
09:48We're still trying to locate Celia Daniels.
09:50And in the meantime, we're putting together as clear a picture as we can
09:54of anyone who might have seen or spoken to Ray Walters leading up to his death.
09:58That's all.
10:02So, do you know how he died?
10:04I mean, it must make a difference, you know, if he was shot or...
10:08His injuries were consistent with asphyxiation.
10:13Er, thank you both.
10:15And I'm sorry to take up your time.
10:16Did...
10:24What?
10:26Do you believe her?
10:27About us not being suspects?
10:29Why wouldn't I?
10:30Well, maybe you've never been sent to prison for a murder you didn't commit
10:33but this is starting to feel like Graham all over again.
10:36You've been watching some old films?
10:37Ah, the old ones are the good ones.
10:51Might join you later.
10:52Can have a film night.
10:53I've got you some stuff from home.
10:54There you go.
10:55Your favourite jacket, just in case you fancy having a stroll.
10:57Erm, new clean pyjamas.
10:59New pyjamas.
11:00New pyjamas.
11:01New pyjamas.
11:02Whose is this?
11:03Whose is this?
11:09It's yours, Danny.
11:10Oh, you're very serious!
11:13I've got you some stuff from home.
11:17Here you go.
11:18Your favourite jacket, just in case you fancy having a stroll.
11:22Erm...
11:23New clean pyjamas.
11:27Whose is this?
11:28is this? It's yours, Dad. Do you not remember? You can get all your old stuff back when we
11:38get you back home. I've got you a sandwich from the shop as well. Cheers. Now, Dad,
11:55I heard that Dylan has been talking to you about how to answer, if anybody asks, and I'm
12:00sorry if it seems like we've been nagging you. Who's going to ask? Well, it doesn't matter,
12:06does it? But, so, do you remember where you've been all this time? All? Yeah, that's correct.
12:18On a farm? Yeah. What about Ray? It doesn't feel right. It just, it just don't feel right.
12:39Come on, Dad. None of this is your fault. Have your sandwich.
12:51So? I just thought, after what the police said today about Celia, we could maybe talk about
13:08bringing him home soon, but flipping kidding myself. Well, what just happened? I couldn't
13:13hear him. What's the difference between me and Ray? Are you serious? Yeah. Locking up
13:19a confused old man. What are we doing? We're saving your dad from a life sentence, Paddy,
13:24alright? That's what we're doing. And we're saving all of us. For how long? We can't keep
13:28him locked up in there forever, can we? It's like we're just waiting for the police to
13:32catch up with us. So that's me now. You know, I cook Christmas dinner for gangsters,
13:37I hide evidence, and I hit my son. Well, if you ask me, Arthur was massively asking for
13:44it. I just, I feel like I'm losing him. I can't get through to him. After what he said?
13:51What if you hadn't found the drugs? What then? Hmm? I mean, we're talking about Arthur messing
13:58with drug laws. It's not exactly Walter White material. He would have been arrested within a week,
14:04or were still murdered. You probably saved his life. Yeah, I think you're being very kind. I wonder
14:08if he'd say the same about Jimmy if he hit one of the boys. If it's not like you slipped on some
14:13knuckle dusters and went to town on him. No, I know, but I drew blood. I mean, it was actually bleeding.
14:17Well then, just talk to him. Like a grown up. Make him understand it. He's a good lad. He knows right from wrong.
14:30Just leave it. How is he? He's up and down. Keeps happening. He's fine one minute, then it's like,
14:39he forgets or he doesn't understand. So then it's, when are we seeing Uncle John? Don't say
14:45it's gonna be okay. I was feeling his way through it. Do you even know what death is at that age?
14:53He's never even lost a pet. Are you serious? Well, that's what people say, isn't it? When a kid loses a pet,
15:00it's the first time they encounter it. It's like practice. Right. And practice makes perfect, eh, Robert?
15:06What are you angry at me for? I'm not angry with you. I am repulsed by me. And you genuinely don't seem
15:13capable of understanding why. What you did was in self-defence. And the fact that you had the presence of
15:19mind to... Cover it up. You did what you had to do so that Harry carries on having a mum.
15:24I'm not even sure it was self-defence. Of course it was. How else would it have happened?
15:28But John loved me. He did. He was crazy. And dangerous. He hurt us both.
15:35So he had to die? No, that's not what I said. Because he's like a pet, isn't he? Yeah.
15:39He was dangerous, so he should be put to sleep. Actually, I've got a question for you, Robert.
15:44John was a killer. So you. And now I am as well. What is it? Like, something that runs
15:50in the family like bad blood? What's Harry gonna turn into? Don't, alright? Don't.
15:56I am not like you. I can't just forget. I'm never gonna get over this. Ever!
16:03Hey, Dad. Do you fancy a drink? Get you a frothy coffee if you want. Dad. What are you thinking?
16:22Ray. Oh, yeah. Hiya. I hurt him.
16:32I hurt him. Dad, I've told you it's not your fault. Put it out of your mind.
16:36I need... I need to tell someone. Yeah?
16:41Well, that's exactly what you shouldn't do if you want to come home. I mean, is that what you want to do?
16:45Do you want to come home? I'm serious!
16:48I... I... I... I... I... I... I were... I were an old. I were an old. Okay, I just... I just...
16:55I need to get it straight in me... in me mind.
17:01Yeah. I know. I'm sorry.
17:07it's just... It's... It's really exhausting, how come here.
17:20What happened to him, Paddy?
17:23Get that coffee.
17:34Hey. Everything okay?
17:37I just wanted to see you.
17:43Roma, you know before when that cop was round and I was talking to her about that day,
17:48you weren't really quiet.
17:51Did I?
17:53Yeah, it was like you knew I wasn't telling her the whole story.
17:57No. Marlon, what is it?
18:00I didn't do anything to Ray.
18:04But I wanted to.
18:05So? We both wanted to. Everyone wanted to.
18:08No, no, no, but I actually went looking for him.
18:12With a knife.
18:14I did see Ross. That bit was true. I told him everything.
18:18Okay. And Ross?
18:20No, no, no. He didn't do it either. If he had, he would have told me.
18:23I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
18:24Are we okay?
18:25Yes. Look, Marlon, I...
18:27I know, I know.
18:28And if there's one thing this whole catastrophe has to teach us as a family...
18:32I agree.
18:33...is that we can't have secrets.
18:34Marlon, that wasn't why I was being quiet earlier.
18:38I've been worried.
18:39You've been looking at me thinking, is that who he is now? The kind of person who'd do that? Or get Ross to?
18:43I'm so scared you wouldn't see me in the same way again. You'd start to hate me.
18:46Sorry. Sorry. What was it? You were going to say something.
18:50It's not important.
18:51I know you. Why have you not been picking up your phone?
18:59We've been out a lot. Searching. And the reception hasn't been great.
19:03Right, that's it. I'm coming home.
19:05What?
19:06I'm coming home. I'm going to do the pestering for you.
19:08Look, the police. They won't know what's hitting.
19:11Right, babe. They will be sending the flying squad from London to find Dad.
19:15I'll be that annoying. They'll want to get rid of me.
19:17I really don't think you should.
19:19I'm booking a flight.
19:20No.
19:21What do you mean, no?
19:22I mean, no. I don't want you to come home.
19:24Things are delicate.
19:26You could easily make things worse. You could scare him off.
19:29Thanks very much, bud.
19:30You know what I mean?
19:31Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. You made yourself very clear. Look, I was only trying to help.
19:36I know you were, but sometimes...
19:38What? Sometimes what?
19:40But sometimes you can be a bit... I can't afford to make things worse.
19:44Well, don't you worry. I'm not going to scare you Dad away, right?
19:47I'm going to stay here. Where I'm appreciated.
19:49Mandy.
19:53Oh, Mandy.
20:00Oh, hi, love.
20:01I didn't know you were home.
20:03Fish fingers, chips and peas for tea. Yeah.
20:06Er, yeah. Yeah, nice one.
20:08I mean, I know you're not a kid, but...
20:10Listen, erm...
20:13I know...
20:16that I made a big mistake.
20:19I still can't believe...
20:21that I let somebody like Ray into my...
20:25well, into our house.
20:27He hid himself from me, and...
20:30I fell for him.
20:32And that's on me.
20:34Mum, it's...
20:37it's alright.
20:38No.
20:39Is it?
20:40Is it really?
20:43What I did to you, that wasn't alright.
20:46And I'm really sorry.
20:52Mum,
20:53you seem nice.
20:55I can't.
20:56Do you think?
20:57I mean, I can't believe I...
20:58I met a man that...
20:59made Jay look like...
21:01Catcher the Century.
21:02But anyway...
21:03It's good we talked.
21:05Cuppa?
21:06Yeah.
21:07Yeah.
21:17Dad!

21:20Do you remember them?
21:22Er...
21:23Mandy sends her love.
21:25And also...
