00:00You
00:30No.
00:33No, no, no, no, this isn't...
00:36This isn't real. What?
00:38There's a lot you need to know.
00:41I was there when your coffin went into the fire.
00:44But I...
00:45Wasn't...
00:46There.
00:47This isn't real.
00:49This can't be real.
00:50This isn't...
00:52I'm sorry.
00:54You're sorry?
00:56What does that even mean?
00:59You are a...
01:00memory.
01:01A ghost.
01:04That fireplace.
01:05I still picture it when I replay the moments you put a hit out on me.
01:10Oh my god.
01:11But that's not how it happened.
01:13How it played out.
01:15Doesn't really matter.
01:18You pay to have him killed?
01:21He was gonna clean me out.
01:24Then leave...
01:25Leave the country with his new girlfriend Rona and her son.
01:29You think I was gonna let that happen?
01:31I can't do this.
01:32This is...
01:34I think I'm gonna...
01:35Can we...
01:36Can we sit...
01:38Can we sit...
01:39Can we sit...
01:41Joe?
01:42What?
01:43Cough.
01:44Cough.
01:45Okay.
01:50Cough.
01:51Cough.
01:52Cough.
01:54Cough.
01:55Cough.
01:56Cough.
02:00Cough.
02:01I'm sorry.
02:02It's too good.
02:03I'm sorry.
02:04It's too bad.
02:05I'm sorry.
02:06Yeah, I can't.
02:11I can't begin to know what's going on in your head right now.
02:14You must have a lot of questions.
02:16How?
02:20How are you?
02:21How are you alive?
02:26It's a long, complicated story.
02:31So start talking.
02:37Tell me.
02:39I want to know how.
02:41The one person in my life who really mattered to me.
02:46Play dead.
02:49And stay dead.
02:50I wanted to tell you.
02:51Badly.
02:52But you didn't.
02:53There was a target on my head.
02:56You want to know how I found out?
03:01I was in a bar and I got my phone.
03:06To take a photo and it just popped up on my phone.
03:11You're dead.
03:14And my entire world stopped.
03:16Everything stopped.
03:18I couldn't hear.
03:19I couldn't see anything.
03:20I just...
03:21I just got up and I started running.
03:23Just...
03:24I don't know where I'm running, but I know...
03:26I know that if I stop...
03:28It all becomes real.
03:31And then that night in my hotel room, I am just...
03:34Shaking.
03:37Sobbing.
03:38And just shaking.
03:39And I've just never...
03:41Been more alone than in that moment.
03:46Sobbing.
03:47Sobbing.
03:48Sobbing.
03:49Sobbing.
03:51Sobbing.
03:51Sobbing.
03:52Sobbing.
03:55If I could go back...
03:56No, no, no, no, no.
03:57Whatever reason you have.
03:58Whatever excuse you might make.
04:00It means...
04:01Nothing.
04:04I grieved you, Graham.
04:06I'm still...
04:08Grieving you.
04:12I will always be sorry.
04:13Will you?
04:14The guilt.
04:15Oh yeah, the guilt.
04:16Oh wow.
04:17I'm sure it weighed really heavy on you.
04:19I'm sure you found a way to deal with it.
04:21You know, you were the closest thing I've ever had.
04:24To a father.
04:26Grief.
04:27It is like a hand that grabs you by the neck.
04:31And it never lets go.
04:36The last person I...
04:41I wanted to hurt was you.
04:43But I couldn't let it get to me.
04:44No, I didn't let it get to you.
04:46You taught me that from a really young age.
04:47Just...
04:48What was it used to say?
04:49Bite first.
04:51Or get bitten and swallowed up.
04:54You might as well have etched that into my brain.
04:57It explains so much.
05:00You betrayed me.
05:01The one person in this life I thought I could trust.
05:07And you.
05:09Just like every other crime scene in your...
05:11DNA is all over this.
05:12Whatever he's told you...
05:13You paid to have him killed!
05:15None of...
05:16None of this would have happened if it weren't for you.
05:20You blew everything up.
05:21Come.
05:24Come.
05:27Always taps you on the shoulder.
05:29Is it not slapping you in...
05:31In the face?
05:35I'm not sure this is...
05:36Going quite...
05:37How you envisaged.
05:40Hmm.
05:42When you open the wound...
05:45You've got to...
05:46Expect some blood...
05:47At first.
05:52You've got to answer.
05:53I said no one business.
05:54Excuse me.
05:55I made know for you again.
05:56No one thing.
05:58I filed...
05:59It became a real criminal...
06:00I then tried it too.
06:01settlements for you.
06:02I was whether Iействite.
06:03How did you have oil cartol?
06:05But I stopped that inflow to you.
06:07You know what?
06:08I took off my freedom of starting time...
06:10расск bac If I had oil cartol...
06:12You set out my leg in your sarlooking house,
06:14I decided that when I tried to repair them...
06:16Why did I have the Made in the house for you?
06:18From here...
06:19This time you couldn't help me because you had abandoned me.
06:24I know I made mistakes. I'm still making them.
06:29Ever since you died?
06:35I'd gone down some very dark paths.
06:38I had...
06:39It disappeared down a hole that I was pretty sure I was never going to get out of.
06:44And now I feel like my heart is just breaking.
06:49All over again.
06:52Because you waiting till now to come back.
06:55Proves one thing.
06:58I didn't matter.
06:59You matter more than you know.
07:00Did you know where I was?
07:04What I knew.
07:05Did you know where I was?
07:07Yes or no?
07:09Yes.
07:11Oh, good.
07:14So you knew.
07:19You could have...
07:22You could have found...
07:24A way to tell me that you were alive.
07:25I came close.
07:27In more ways than you can imagine.
07:29It wasn't only me who was a target.
07:32Rona and Leo...
07:34I couldn't risk anything happening to them.
07:36So they came first.
07:37Oh, grow up!
07:38Are you...
07:39You're not listening!
07:40Graham!
07:41Whatever you didn't know didn't hurt you.
07:42You had your whole life in...
07:45My whole life!
07:46My whole life!
07:48Great!
07:49Graham!
07:50Have you had any idea how close that life came to ending?
07:54The lights had gone out on me!
07:57The lights had gone out on me!
07:59I wasn't eating!
08:00I wasn't sleeping!
08:01I was just shoving things down my...
08:04My throat to numb the pain!
08:06Pills!
08:07Opioids!
08:08When you do that enough...
08:09It has consequences!
08:12Your organs start to...
08:14Fail!
08:15And the next thing you know you're on an operating theatre trying to replace the kid-
08:19that you've done your very best to destroy!
08:24It might be okay!
08:26I feel like I've got so loath다 to survive the time and eat that right away!
08:29Yup!
08:29Honestly, I...
08:34I didn't know.
08:37You know.
08:39What grief does. You've got the scars.
08:41Do you want to see mine?
08:44I don't want to see mine.
08:49I wanted to tell you.
08:54But...
08:58At the beginning...
08:59I was lost.
09:04That wasn't me.
09:09I hit the bottle hard.
09:14And by the time I had managed to get myself straight...
09:18You were...
09:19You were in the grieving process.
09:20No.
09:21It was too late.
09:22It was never too late.
09:23I don't have...
09:24Any right...
09:25To just walk back in your life...
09:27Uninvited. I know that.
09:28Do you?
09:29Whatever you need from me.
09:30Nothing.
09:32I don't need anything from you.
09:35The world that you walked out on...
09:38Is different.
09:39Now.
09:43Everything's changed.
09:44I don't need anything.
09:47I don't need anything from you.
09:48You've got...
09:49A little bit.
09:50What do you think?
09:51That's right.
09:52I don't need anything from you.
09:53Want to help?
09:55I'm not sure.
09:56There is a lot of water...
09:58You've got a lot of water...
10:01You can't be a little water.
10:02You've got a lot of money.
10:06One of the most of the most...
10:08You've got a lot of water over here.
10:09You've got a lot of water.
10:11You've got some water.
10:15You've got a lot of water.
10:17You've got…
10:18away. Why were you at that hospital?
10:23There's still a lot of catching up we need to do.
10:28No.
10:32Ah.
10:33I don't need to do.
10:38Anything.
10:43I don't need to do.
10:48I don't need to do.
10:53I don't need to do.
10:55Drink.
10:57Really?
10:59Will your little habit not die with you?
11:01Your sense of humour.
11:03Clearly did.
11:04When you've been on your own for as long as I was, and I mean...
11:07Literally on your own.
11:09You, um...
11:11Fine.
11:12I don't need to find ways of dealing with that.
11:14Oh no.
11:15Was Graham lonely?
11:16My heart bleeds.
11:18You'd have to have a heart.
11:20I don't remember much after I first disappeared.
11:24I drank enough to silence the voices in my...
11:28Finding out what happened to Marlon only made things worse.
11:32He must have gone through hell.
11:34But what he does have...
11:36Is a wife who loves him.
11:38They're strong.
11:39I can't imagine...
11:40I can't imagine anyone wanting to upset such a happy home.
11:44Happy home.
11:45Well, that won't be me.
11:47It's pretty clear how much...
11:49It's her family means to them.
11:50So your paths have already crossed?
11:52Oh no.
11:53Oh no.
11:54Of course they have.
11:56You obviously know about the...
11:59Problems they've faced recently.
12:00Well, I make problems go away.
12:04So...
12:05That's what really brought you back.
12:08Rona.
12:09And April.
12:10I thought you came back for me.
12:14Beautiful.
12:18All right.
12:29I never lied to you.
12:30So all of that when I saw you in hospital?
12:33It's true.
12:34Once I'd helped work out things for...
12:39...round April, I was going to take off.
12:44It all changed when I saw you again.
12:46He's making it up as he goes along.
12:49But I'm here now.
12:51Six years too late.
12:54Time for the men.
12:58You must have worked out this was a mess.
13:03No mistake.
13:04You coming back here.
13:06You think I thought I'd be welcomed with...
13:08I don't really know what you were thinking.
13:13What do you...
13:13What do you want?
13:15Forgiveness?
13:16From you?
13:17The woman who put a rope...
13:18...around my neck.
13:20And what's stopping me from doing that now?
13:23Easy to kill a man who the world thinks is already dead.
13:27A victimless crime?
13:28So to speak.
13:31But then you'd have to grieve me or...
13:33...all over again.
13:35Is that so?
13:37And you're forgetting something.
13:38Kim.
13:39I'm the only one who can see through the act through you.
13:43All of it was just a little girl who wasn't loved enough.
13:48You grew up to be a woman who could never be loved enough.
13:53By anyone.
13:57You have had a lot of things.
13:58You've had a lot of thinking time, haven't you?
14:01Did you put yourself under the same microscope?
14:03No, because I knew I wouldn't like what I saw.
14:07We both wear the masks.
14:08We have to.
14:08Not in front of each other.
14:12That's when the masks...
14:13Let's come off.
14:14Let's come off.
14:18Now tell me it meant nothing.
14:23When you found out I'd been killed.
14:28It meant less than nothing.
14:32And now say it again.
14:33Like you mean it.
14:35This was a mistake.
14:37So you keep saying.
14:38I don't know what else you want to hear.
14:41I could go into that kitchen right now.
14:43Get myself a knife.
14:47Come back.
14:48And hand it to you.
14:51What's your next move?
14:53Right now?
14:56I'd happily kill you all over again.
14:58I'd happily kill you all over again.
15:27Is he dead to you as well?
15:31I won't let you...
15:32He ruined Joe too.
15:35I was there for him when he needed.
15:38Where were you?
15:39I'm serious.
15:41I won't allow you to...
15:42Turn him into a version of you.
15:44A version of me?
15:45Mm.
15:47Who sees people as pawn pieces on a chessboard?
15:51I am not.
15:52This isn't the only thing he has.
15:54Resembling family.
15:55You...
15:56Are a disease.
15:57Whatever he died, love.
16:02I'm pretty sure you must have infected him first.
16:04You...
16:06It's...
16:07If you're going to show your teeth, make sure you can bite.
16:11Let...
16:12Let...
16:13Go of me!
16:16You know I dead.
16:17Don't scare easily.
16:22If I wanted to scare you...
16:27I would have come in the dead of the night.
16:30So what do you want?
16:32I'm not even going toケー陳!
16:33I'd love to get my mind...
16:34He's on my nerves.
16:35I was gonna playあれ compared to expecting him.
16:36I realised he was Nicole.
16:37He told him to get his pistol.
16:38He's playingاه his Bobby McLeese and his wife's over screaming.
16:39Where applyOMs withAT!
16:40A party for lanes.
16:41Because it's totallyiance aan thatometer.
16:42It looks really cool.
16:43Because they found him before he gave moves on heaven until the registр's doesn't sat there.
16:44Saying he had met encampility at an hour.
16:45If you want to come down later, you need to catch him, make him even big heroा.
16:46That's what we're going to have backstage here!
16:47What does my needs?
16:49Why?
16:50бол дуже made� rug閒.
16:51That's jak, when he used to be summer.
16:52back.
16:57I mean, once is sad enough.
17:02But to become a widow three times, that's either unlucky or careless.
17:07But I was happy, unlike our marriage of convenience.
17:12But unfortunately for you, you're forgetting something.
17:17Technically, we're still man and wife.
17:22Which means your marriage of convenience could soon become very in.
17:27Convenient.
17:28If you think you're entitled to anything, anything that's my...
17:32What's mine is yours, and what's yours is...
17:36Go on, say.
17:37Over my dead body.
17:42So that's the real reason you came back.
17:47Now, I want you to do something you're going to find very difficult.
17:52Try and imagine a world where the most important thing isn't money.
17:58You think I don't know what you're doing?
18:01And what's that?
18:02Pressing my buttons.
18:03Hmm.
18:08I think you'd still like me to...
18:11Press your...
18:12Press the button.
18:15I told you...
18:17I told you...
18:17the reason why I came back. To protect Rona and April.
18:22And the reason I'm going to stay is...
18:27Ciao.
18:32For far too long I've...
18:37Blamed you, hated you, resented you.
18:40But the person I was most...
18:42...angry with was me.
18:44Always hiding away, staying invisible...
18:47...too scared to put my head anywhere it could be shot at.
18:51I will...
18:52...always be ashamed of that.
18:54There was a hundred bullet-shaped reasons why I should have stayed.
18:57But only one that brought me back.
18:59Ciao.
19:01I will do...
19:02...everything to show him...
19:03...that I'm still the same man...
19:05...who was always in his corner, wrong or wrong.
19:08He's not a little boy anymore.
19:10He doesn't need a guardian angel.
19:12He doesn't need me.
19:13But maybe I need him.
19:15Yeah.
19:17But it's all just words...
19:21...isn't it?
19:23I don't really have much else.
19:25Is that what you really want to hear?
19:27I think I've heard enough.
19:31I think I've heard enough.
19:32He can say what he wants.
19:33But if you meant anything to him...
19:35...he would have made contact...
19:37...about years ago...
19:38...all that pain you were feeling...
19:40...he could have stopped it.
19:42...in a heartbeat.
19:43He didn't.
19:45You have every right to hate me.
19:48And pretty much hate myself...
19:49...for what I put you and...
19:51...other people.
19:52...all through.
19:54But what we were...
19:55...we can be that again.
19:56What were we?
19:57I heard you say it to Rona yesterday.
19:59I was your...
20:00...father and...
20:01...brother.
20:03...rother into one.
20:04And they both abandoned you.
20:07You've clearly grown into the family man...
20:10...I always knew you could be.
20:12...a man I'm proud of.
20:15And he became that man without you.
20:18No I didn't.
20:20I am who I am.
20:22...because of you.
20:25We both know that.
20:28Try not to kill each other.
20:30Try not to kill each other.
20:32If you think you've won...
20:35...if you think you've won...
20:37...if you actually cared about him.
20:40And I mean really cared.
20:42...you'd be happy that someone...
20:44...was in his life...
20:45...who would actually...
20:46...take a bullet for him.
20:48Graham Foster...
20:51...your...
20:52...would be much appreciated...
20:53...if you would accompany me...
20:54...to the station...
20:55...to answer a few questions.
20:58...you're nothing but predictable.
21:01...pathetically.
21:03It wasn't her.
21:05It was me.
21:07I called the police.
21:09You were gone.
21:11And you should have stayed.
21:12You were gone.
21:14Oh dear.
21:16That bullet you were willing to...
21:17...take.
21:18Look who's holding the gun.
21:22You were back.
21:25What?
21:27Nothing so?
21:29It's like me.
21:30Basically, the whole limit is to the station.
21:32I'm not
21:38I need to know.
21:41But the timeline used to check.
21:44And this is how the people said.
