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 clearer picture of everyone's movements, the sooner we can do it.
07:07Hiya.
07:12What are you doing?
07:15It's good.
07:16You know, the police pinning it on Syria.
07:18Still got a little way to go here.
07:20Completely exhausted from lying to everyone.
07:23Even Marlum's like me best mate.
07:25Totally during my head in.
07:28How's it been?
07:30Er, quiet.
07:32But we've been over it again.
07:34I've said it so many times I'm starting to believe it myself.
07:37You know, kept on a farm in Hull.
07:39Escaped, found his way back.
07:41Now he's asking where in Hull.
07:43What did you say?
07:44I just said it doesn't matter.
07:45You know, no one knows, so...
07:49He must be ready to be let out soon.
07:52Because you trust him.
07:54As in what, stick to the story?
07:58I hate this.
08:00Just want to get him out of there.
08:02Get him home.
08:04Hey, Dad.
08:09Oh, well, honestly, really.
08:12Yeah, maybe.
08:13Oh, bye, love.
08:14Have a good day.
08:15Yeah.
08:16Love you.
08:17Oh, what was that?
08:20Why is he so moody all the time?
08:22Nick, if I tell you something, you won't tell anyone, will you?
08:26Erm, yeah, okay.
08:29Arthur 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.
08:39He 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.
08:47Okay, so where are the drugs now?
08:49I 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.
09:04So, apart from Mr Dingle, Paddy Dingle, did anybody else see you?
09:10Erm, Rona and Ross Barton, erm, April's missing so I went looking for her.
09:15I was worried and Ross offered to help but she came home so, false alarm.
09:20And, Rona, your movements that day?
09:23I'm sorry.
09:24Why is this necessary?
09:25Why now?
09:26Mum, it's okay.
09:27Erm, I 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.
09:42Just Marlon.
09:43So, are we suspects now?
09:44Is that it?
09:45Are 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 of anyone who might have seen or spoken to Ray Walters leading up to his death.
09:58That's all.
09:59So, 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 and I'm sorry to take up your time.
10:16Did...
10:24What?
10:26Do you believe her?
10:27About us not being suspects?
10:28Why wouldn't I?
10:29Well, maybe you've never been sent to prison for a murder you didn't commit, but this is starting to feel like Graham all over again.
10:35You've been watching some old films.
11:00Ah, the old ones are the good ones.
11:05Might join you later.
11:07Can have a film night.
11:12I got you some stuff from home.
11:16Here we go.
11:18Your favourite jacket, just in case you fancy having a stroll.
11:22Erm, new clean pyjamas.
11:24Who's is this?
11:29It's yours, Dad.
11:33Do you not remember?
11:36You can get all your old stuff back when we get you back home.
11:38I've got you a sandwich from the shop as well.
11:48Mm. Cheers.
11:50Now,
11:52Dad,
11:54I heard that Dylan has been talking to you about how to answer, if anybody asks,
11:59and I'm sorry if it seems like we've been nagging you.
12:03Er, who's gonna ask?
12:05Well, it doesn't matter, does it?
12:06But, so, er, do you remember where you've been all this time?
12:14All?
12:15Yeah, that's correct.
12:17On a farm?
12:18Yeah.
12:23What about Ray?
12:24Yeah.
12:29It doesn't feel right.
12:34It just...
12:36It just don't feel right.
12:41Come on, Dad.
12:45None of this is your fault, fella.
12:49Have your sandwich.
12:54What's up?
12:58So?
13:02I just thought, after what the police said today about Celia,
13:06we could maybe talk about bringing him home soon, but flipping kidding myself.
13:11Well, what just happened? I couldn't hear him.
13:13What's the difference between me and Ray?
13:15Are you serious?
13:17Yeah!
13:18Locking up a confused old man.
13:19What are we doing?
13:21We're saving your dad from a life sentence, Paddy, alright?
13:23That's what we're doing.
13:25And we're saving all of us.
13:27For how long?
13:28We can't keep him locked up in there forever, can we?
13:30It's like we're just waiting for the police to catch up with us.
13:33So that's me now, you know.
13:35I cook Christmas dinner for gangsters.
13:38I hide evidence.
13:40And I hit my son.
13:42Well, if you ask me, Arthur was massively asking for it.
13:45I just...
13:47I feel like I'm losing him.
13:48I can't get through to him.
13:50After what he said?
13:52What if you hadn't found the drugs? What then?
13:54I mean, we're talking about Arthur.
13:57Messing with drug laws is not exactly Walter White material.
14:02He would have been arrested within a week or were still murdered.
14:04You probably saved his life.
14:05Yeah, I think you're being very kind.
14:07I wonder if he'd say the same about Jimmy if he hit one of the boys.
14:11It's not like you slipped on some knuckle dusters and went to town on him.
14:14No, no, no, but I drew blood.
14:15I mean, it was actually bleeding.
14:17Well then, just talk to him like a grown-up.
14:21Make him understand he...
14:23He's a good lad. He knows right from wrong.
14:26Just leave it.
14:32How is he?
14:34He's up and down.
14:36Keeps happening. He's fine one minute, then it's like...
14:39...he forgets or he doesn't understand.
14:41So then it's, when are we seeing Uncle John?
14:44Don't say it's gonna be okay.
14:46He's feeling his way through it.
14:47I mean, do you even know what death is at that age?
14:53He's never even lost a pet.
14:55Are you serious?
14:56Well, that's what people say, isn't it?
14:57When...
14:58...a kid loses a pet, it's the first time they encounter it.
15:00It's like practice.
15:02Right.
15:03And practice makes perfect, eh, Robert?
15:05What are you angry at me for?
15:06I'm not angry with you.
15:07I am repulsed...
15:09...by me.
15:10And you genuinely don't seem capable of understanding why.
15:13What you did was in self-defence.
15:16And the fact that you had the presence of mind to...
15:18Cover it up.
15:20You did what you had to do so that Harry carries on having a mum.
15:23Not even sure it was self-defence.
15:24Of course it was. How else would it have happened?
15:26But...
15:27John...
15:28...loved me.
15:29He did.
15:30He was crazy.
15:32And dangerous. He hurt us both.
15:34So he had to die?
15:35No, that's not what I said.
15:36Because he's like a pet, isn't he, yeah?
15:37He was dangerous, so he should be put to sleep.
15:41Actually, I've got a question for you, Robert.
15:42John was a killer.
15:45So you.
15:46And now I am as well.
15:47What is it?
15:48Like, something that runs in the family like bad blood?
15:51What's Harry gonna turn into?
15:52Don't, alright?
15:54Don't.
15:55I am not like you.
15:57I can't just forget.
15:59I'm never gonna get over this.
16:01Ever!
16:08Hey, Dad.
16:09Do you fancy a drink?
16:10Get you a frothy coffee if you want.
16:15Dad.
16:21What are you thinking?
16:25Ray.
16:26Oh yeah.
16:28I...
16:31I hurt him.
16:32Dad.
16:33I've told you it's not your fault.
16:34Put it out of your mind.
16:36I need...
16:38I need to tell someone.
16:39Yeah?
16:40Well, that's exactly what you shouldn't do if you want to come home.
16:43I mean, is that what you want to do?
16:44Do you want to come home?
16:45I'm serious.
16:46Well, I...
16:47I...
16:48I...
16:49I...
16:50I...
16:51I were an o'le.
16:52I were an o'le.
16:53Okay, I just...
16:54I just...
16:55need to get it straight.
16:56In my...
16:57In my mind.
17:01Yeah.
17:02I know.
17:05Sorry.
17:06It's really exhausting, haven't I? Come here.
17:19What happened to him, Paddy?
17:24Get that coffee.
17:33Hey. Everything okay?
17:37Just wanted to see you.
17:42Roma, you know before when that cop was round and I was talking to her about that day,
17:49you weren't really quiet.
17:51Did I?
17:52Yeah, it was like...
17:54It was like you knew I wasn't telling her the whole story.
17:57No.
17:58Marlon, what is it?
17:59I didn't do anything to Ray.
18:03But I wanted to.
18:04I wanted to.
18:05So?
18:06We both wanted to. Everyone wanted to.
18:07No, no, no, but I actually went looking for him.
18:11With a knife.
18:13I did see Ross.
18:15That bit was true. I told him everything.
18:17Okay.
18:19And Ross?
18:20No, no, no. He didn't do it either. If he had, he would have told me.
18:22I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
18:23Are we okay?
18:24Yes.
18:25Look, Marlon, I...
18:26I know, I know.
18:27And if there's one thing this whole catastrophe has to teach us as a family...
18:31I agree.
18:32...is that we can't have secrets.
18:33Hold on.
18:35That wasn't why I was being quiet earlier.
18:37I've been worried.
18:38You've been looking at me thinking,
18:39is that who he is now?
18:40The kind of person who'd do that or get Ross to?
18:41I'd be so scared you wouldn't see me in the same way again.
18:43You'd start to hate me.
18:45Sorry, sorry, what was it?
18:46You were going to say something.
18:47It's not important.
18:48And hey, you, why have we not been picking up your phone?
18:58We've been out a lot, searching, and the reception hasn't been great.
19:02Right, that's it.
19:03I'm coming home.
19:04What?
19:05I'm coming home and I'm going to do the pestering for you.
19:07Look, the police, they won't know what's hitting.
19:10Right, babe, they will be sending the flying squad from London to find Dad.
19:14I'll be that annoying, they'll want to get rid of me.
19:16I really don't think you should.
19:18I'm booking a flight.
19:19No.
19:20What do you mean, no?
19:21I mean, no.
19:22I don't want you to come home.
19:23Things are delicate.
19:25You could easily make things worse.
19:27You could scare him off.
19:28Thanks very much, bud.
19:29You know what I mean?
19:30Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
19:32You made yourself very clear.
19:34Look, I was only trying to help.
19:35I know you were, but sometimes...
19:37What?
19:38Sometimes what?
19:39But sometimes you can be a bit...
19:41I can't afford to make things worse.
19:43Well, don't you worry.
19:44I'm not going to scare you that way round.
19:46I'm going to stay here.
19:47Where I'm appreciated.
19:48Mandy.
19:49Oh, Mandy.
19:51Oh, hi, love.
19:52I didn't know you were home.
19:53Fish fingers, chips and peas for tea.
19:54Yeah.
19:55Er, yeah.
19:56Yeah, nice one.
19:57I mean, I know you're not a kid, but...
19:58Listen.
19:59Erm.
20:00I know that I made a big mistake.
20:01I still can't believe that I let somebody like Ray into my, well, into our house.
20:07He hid himself from me and...
20:08I fell for him.
20:09And that's on me.
20:10Mum, it's alright.
20:11No.
20:12No.
20:13No.
20:14No.
20:15No.
20:16No.
20:17No.
20:18No.
20:19No.
20:20No.
20:21No.
20:22No.
20:23No.
20:24No.
20:25No.
20:26No.
20:27No.
20:28No.
20:29No.
20:30No.
20:31No.
20:32No.
20:33No.
20:34And that's on me.
20:35Mum, it's...
20:36It's alright.
20:37Oh, it's it.
20:38Was it really?
20:40What I did to you?
20:43That wasn't alright.
20:44And I'm really sorry.
20:47Mum, you seemed nice.
20:54Er...
20:55Do you think?
20:56I mean, I can't believe I met a man that made Jay look like Catcher the Century, but anyway, it's good we talked.
21:04Capper?
21:05Yeah.
21:16Dad!
21:17Got your posh coffee and your favourite slippers. Do you remember them?
21:21Er, Mandy sends her love. And also, you better have your kecks on because I'm coming in.
