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.
06:54It's good.
06:59It's good.
07:03Hiya.
07:13What are you doing?
07:16It's good.
07:17You 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 my 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.
07:37You know, kept on a farm in Hull.
07:39Escaped, found his way back.
07:41Now he's asking where in Hull.
07:43And what did you say?
07:45I just said it doesn't matter. You know, no one knows, so...
07:49He must be ready to be let out soon.
07:53Do you trust him?
07:55As in what, stick to the story?
07:59I hate this.
08:01I just want to get him out of there.
08:03Get him home.
08:09Hey, Dad.
08:11Oh, well, honestly, really.
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?
08:23Nick, if I tell you something, you won't tell anyone, will you?
08:27Um, 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? Take them? Sell them?
08:37No, 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.
08:47Okay, so where are the drugs now?
08:49Oh, I don't know. I'll skip their water.
08:51I'll just chuck them down the sink.
08:53But anyway, it gets, um...
08:55It gets worse.
08:57We had a really bad argument and, um...
09:03I hit him.
09:06So, apart from Mr Dingle, Paddy Dingle, did anybody else see you?
09:11Er, Rona.
09:12And Ross Barton.
09:13Um...
09:14April's missing, so I went looking for her. I was worried.
09:16And Ross offered to help, but she came home, so...
09:19False alarm.
09:21And, Rona, your movement's that day?
09:24I'm sorry.
09:25Why is this necessary? Why now?
09:27No, it's okay.
09:28Erm...
09:29I've cancelled whatever appointments I had.
09:31Well, like Marlon said, we were just worried about April.
09:34So, 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? Is 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.
10:14Er, thank you both.
10:15And I'm sorry to take up your time.
10:17Er...
10:24Did...
10:25What?
10:27Do you believe her?
10:28About 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.
10:36I'm watching some old films.
11:01Ah...
11:02The 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.
11:16There you go.
11:18Your favourite jacket, just in case you fancy having a stroll.
11:22Erm...
11:23New clean pyjamas.
11:28Whose is this?
11:32It's yours, Dad.
11:34Do you not remember?
11:37We can get all your old stuff back when we get you back home.
11:44I've got you...
11:47A sandwich from the shop as well.
11:49Mm. Cheers.
11:51Now...
11:53Dad...
11:55I heard that Dylan...
11:56has been talking to you about how to answer, if anybody asks,
11:59and...
12:00I'm sorry if it seems like we've been nagging you.
12:03Er...
12:04Er...
12:05Who's gonna ask?
12:06Well, it doesn't matter, does it?
12:07But...
12:08So...
12:09Er...
12:10Do you remember...
12:11where you've been all this time?
12:13All.
12:14Yeah.
12:15That's correct.
12:17On a farm?
12:18Yeah.
12:23What about Ray?
12:29It...
12:30It doesn't...
12:31It doesn't feel right.
12:34It...
12:35It just...
12:37It just don't feel right.
12:42Come on, Dad.
12:46None of this is your fault.
12:47Well...
12:49Have your sandwich.
13:00So?
13:03I just...
13:04thought after what the police said today about Celia...
13:07we could maybe...
13:08talk about...
13:09bringing him home soon but I'm flipping kidding myself.
13:12Well, what just happened? I couldn't hear him.
13:13What's the difference between me and Ray?
13:17Are you serious?
13:18Yeah!
13:19Locking up a confused old man.
13:20What are we doing?
13:21We're saving your dad from a life sentence, Paddy, alright?
13:24That'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?
13:31It's like we're just waiting for the police to catch up with us.
13:34So 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?
13:51What if you hadn't found the drugs? What then?
13:54I mean...
13:55We're talking about Arthur.
13:58Messing with drug laws.
13:59It's not exactly Walter White material.
14:01He 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, I know, but I drew blood.
14:15I mean, it was actually bleeding.
14:17Well then...
14:18Just talk to him.
14:19Like a grown-up.
14:21Make him understand he...
14:23He's a good lad.
14:24He knows right from wrong.
14:25Just leave it.
14:26How is he?
14:27He's up and down.
14:28Keeps happening.
14:29He's fine one minute.
14:30Then it's like...
14:31He forgets or he doesn't understand.
14:32So then it's...
14:33When are we seeing Uncle John?
14:34Don't say it's gonna be okay.
14:35He's feeling his way through it.
14:36I mean...
14:37Do you even know what death is at that age?
14:38He's never even lost a pet.
14:40Are you serious?
14:41That's what people say, isn't it?
14:42When...
14:57a kid loses a pet, it's the first time they encounter it.
15:00It's like practice.
15:01Right.
15:02And practice makes perfect, eh, Robert?
15:03What are you angry at me for?
15:04I'm not...
15:05Angry with you.
15:07I'm not angry with you. I am repulsed by me.
15:11And you genuinely don't seem capable of understanding why.
15:14What you did was in self-defence.
15:17And the fact that you had the presence of mind to...
15:19Cover it up.
15:20You did what you had to do so that Harry carries on having a mum.
15:23I'm not even sure it was self-defence.
15:25Of course it was. How else would it have happened?
15:27But John loved me. He did.
15:30He was crazy. And dangerous. He hurt us both.
15:34So we had to die?
15:35No, that's not what I said.
15:36Because he's like a pet, isn't he? Yeah.
15:38He was dangerous so he should be put to sleep.
15:40Actually, I've got a question for you, Robert.
15:43John was a killer.
15:45So you.
15:46And now I am as well.
15:48What is it, like, something that runs in the family like bad blood?
15:51What's Harry gonna turn into?
15:53Don't, alright? Don't.
15:55I am not like you.
15:57I can't just forget.
15:59I'm never gonna get over this.
16:01Ever!
16:03Hey, Dad.
16:09Do you fancy a drink?
16:11Get 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, I've told you it's not your fault.
16:34Put it out of your mind.
16:36I need...
16:38I need to tell someone.
16:40Yeah?
16:41Well, that's exactly what you shouldn't do if you wanna come home.
16:43I mean, is that what you wanna do?
16:45Do you wanna come home?
16:46I'm serious.
16:48Oh, I...
16:49I...
16:50I...
16:51I...
16:52I...
16:53I...
16:54I...
16:55I...
16:56I just
16:57I just
16:58need to get it straight in me...
16:59in my mind.
17:01Yeah.
17:02I know.
17:06Sorry.
17:07It's really exhausting, aren't they? Come here.
17:19What happened to him, Paddy?
17:25Get that coffee.
17:33Hey. 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,
17:49you 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?
18:00I didn't do anything to Ray.
18:03But I wanted to.
18:05So?
18:06We both wanted to. Everyone wanted to.
18:08No, 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.
18:18And Ross?
18:19No, no. He didn't do it either. If he had, he would have told me.
18:22I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
18:24Are we okay?
18:25Yes.
18:26Look, 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.
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?
18:41Or get Ross to?
18:42I'm so scared you wouldn't see me in the same way again.
18:44You'd start to hate me.
18:45Sorry.
18:46Sorry. What was it?
18:47You were going to say something.
18:49It's not important.
18:50And hey, 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.
19:04I'm coming home.
19:05What?
19:06I'm coming home, and 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, Pat.
19:30You know what I mean?
19:31Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. You made yourself very clear.
19:34Look, 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...
19:41I can't afford to make things worse.
19:43Well, don't you worry. I'm not going to scare you Dad away, right?
19:46I'm going to stay here, where I'm appreciated.
19:48Mandy.
19:49Oh, Mandy.
19:50Oh, hi, love.
19:51I didn't know you were home.
19:52Fish fingers, chips and peas for tea. Yeah.
19:53Er, yeah, nice one.
19:54I mean, I know you're not a kid, but...
19:55Listen, erm...
19:56I know that I made a big mistake. I still can't believe that I let somebody like Ray into my...
20:01Well, into our house.
20:02He hid himself from me and...
20:03I fell for him.
20:04And that's on me.
20:05He hid himself from me and...
20:06I fell for him.
20:07And that's on me.
20:08Mum, it's...
20:09It's alright.
20:10No.
20:11Is it...
20:12Is it...
20:13Is it really nice?
20:14No.
20:15I know that I made a big mistake.
20:19I still can't believe that I let somebody like Ray into my, well, into our house.
20:28He hid himself from me and I fell for him.
20:33And that's on me.
20:35Mum, it's...it's all right.
20:38No.
20:39Is it?
20:40Is it really?
20:41What I did to you, that wasn't all right.
20:45And I'm really sorry.
20:52Mum, you seem nice.
20:55Do you think?
20:57I mean, I can't believe I met a man that made Jay look like Catcher the Century, but anyway,
21:03it's good we talked.
21:05Capa?
21:06Yeah.
21:07Yeah.
21:08Dad!
21:09Got your posh coffee and your favourite slippers.
21:21Do you remember them?
21:23Er, Mandy sends her love.
21:25And also, you better have your kecks on, because I'm coming in.
21:32Dad.
21:37Dad.
21:38Dad.
21:39Dad.
21:40Dad.
21:41Dad.
21:42Dad.
21:43Dad.
21:44Dad.
21:45Dad.
21:46Dad.
21:47Dad.
21:48Dad.
21:49Dad.
21:50Dad.
21:51Dad.
21:52Dad.
21:53Dad.
21:54Dad.
21:55Dad.
21:56Dad.
