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.
01:59Cough.
02:01Cough.
02:03Cough.
02:04Yeah.
02:09I can't begin to know what's going on in your life right now.
02:14You must have a lot of questions.
02:19How are you?
02:24How are you alive?
02:27It's so long.
02:29Complicated story.
02:34So start talking.
02:37Tell me.
02:39I want to know how the one person in my life who really...
02:44connected to me.
02:46Play dead.
02:49And stayed dead.
02:50I wanted to tell you badly.
02:52But you didn't.
02:53There was a target.
02:54I want to know how the one person in my head.
02:58You want to know how the one person in my head?
02:59I don't know how I found out.
03:03I was in a bar.
03:04And I got my phone out.
03:07To take a photo.
03:08And it just popped.
03:09It popped up on my phone.
03:11You're dead.
03:13And I...
03:14And my entire world stopped.
03:16Everything stopped.
03:18I couldn't hear.
03:20I couldn't see anything.
03:21I just got up.
03:22And I started running.
03:23Just...
03:25I don't know where I'm running.
03:26But I know that if I stop...
03:28It all becomes real.
03:29And then that night in my hotel room, I am just...
03:34shaking.
03:36Sobbing.
03:37And just shaking.
03:38And I'm just...
03:39Never...
03:41Been more alone...
03:42Than in that moment.
03:44No...
03:46No...
03:47No...
03:49No...
03:49John.
03:55If I could go back.
03:56No, no, no, no. Whatever reason you have, whatever excuse...
03:59you might make, it means nothing!
04:04I grieved you, Graham!
04:06I'm still grieving you!
04:09I will always be sorry.
04:13Who are 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 were the closest thing I've ever had.
04:24To a father.
04:26Grief.
04:27It is like a ha-
04:29That grabs you by the neck.
04:31And it never lets go.
04:34All right.
04:36All right.
04:37All right.
04:39The last person I wanted to hurt was you.
04:42But 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, just...
04:48What was it used to say?
04:49Bite first, or get bitten and swallowed up.
04:54You might as well have etched that into my brain.
04:56That explains so much.
04:59You betrayed me.
05:01The one person in this life.
05:04I thought I could trust.
05:07And you?
05:09Just like every other crime scene, your DNA is all over this.
05:12Whatever he's told you-
05:13You pay-
05:14You paid to have him killed.
05:15None of this would have happened if it weren't for you.
05:19You blew everything up.
05:20You blew everything up.
05:24Karma...
05:27Always taps you on the shoulder.
05:29Is it not slapping you in the face?
05:31Is it not slapping you in the face?
05:34I'm not sure this is going quite how you envisaged.
05:40Hmm.
05:42When you open a wound...
05:44You've got to expect some blood at first.
05:49You'll catch up if it's trying, you'll bounce on something, see sir,
05:51quasi mathematics.
05:53You can just toll on something.
05:54Wait, what's that supposed to happen?
05:56What's that supposed to happen?
05:58Is the devil giving you was ahargic?
06:00Right, this is true.
06:02What's that supposed to happen...
06:06You'll hear from him puts you down on something.
06:08That doesn't bother you because it's very scary-
06:11You need to be alive.
06:12That doesn't matter if one person would often err.
06:14I counted on you.
06:17You were always there.
06:19This time you couldn't help me because you had abandoned me.
06:24I know I made mistakes, but I'm still making them.
06:29Ever since you died?
06:34I'd gone down some very dark paths.
06:38I had disappeared down a hole.
06:40That I was pretty sure I was never going to get out of.
06:44And...
06:45Now...
06:47I feel like my heart is just breaking all over again.
06:49Because you waiting till now to come back...
06:54It proves one thing.
06:57I didn't matter.
06:58You matter more than...
06:59What didn't you know?
07:00Did you know where I was?
07:03What I knew...
07:04Did you know...
07:05Where I was?
07:06Yes or no?
07:08Yes.
07:09Oh, God.
07:14So you knew...
07:18You could've...
07:19found a way to tell me...
07:21You could've...
07:22found a way to tell me...
07:24that you were alive.
07:25I came close.
07:27In more ways than you can imagine.
07:28It was...
07:29It wasn't only me who was a target.
07:31Rona and Leo.
07:33I couldn't risk any...
07:34anything happening to them.
07:35So they came first.
07:36Oh, grow up!
07:38Are you not listening?
07:39Graham!
07:40Whatever you didn't know didn't hurt you.
07:41You had your whole life in front of you.
07:44My whole life.
07:46My whole life?!
07:48Graham!
07:49Have you had any idea how close that life came to ending?!
07:55The lights had gone out on me!
07:58I wasn't eating...
08:00I wasn't sleeping!
08:01I was just shoving things down my throat to numb the...
08:04pain!
08:05Pills!
08:06Opioids!
08:07When you do that enough, it has constant...
08:09consequences!
08:11Your organs start to fail!
08:13And the...
08:14Next thing you know you're on an operating theatre trying to replace the kidney that you've...
08:19done your very best to destroy!
08:24I don't want to sell any different things.
08:29It's okay...
08:29Honestly, I...
08:35I didn't know.
08:37You know what grief does.
08:39You've got the scars.
08:40Do you want to see one?
08:44I don't know.
08:46I don't know.
08:49I wanted to tell you that her...
08:54...at the beginning.
08:59I was lost.
09:04That wasn't me.
09:08I had...
09:09...the bottle hard.
09:13By the...
09:14...the time I had managed to get myself straight...
09:18...you were in the grieving process.
09:19No.
09:20It was too late.
09:21It was never too late.
09:22I don't have any right...
09:24...to just walk back in your life...
09:26...uninvited, I know that.
09:27Do you?
09:28But whatever you need...
09:29...from me?
09:30Nothing.
09:31I don't need anything from you.
09:35The world that you walked out on...
09:37...is different now.
09:40Everything's changed.
09:42Everything's changed.
09:44I don't know.
09:47I don't know.
09:49I'm going to put a little bit of water on the top.
09:54Ahhhh!
09:59It would have been easier if you'd stayed dead.
10:02A lot easier, but easier isn't always best.
10:04What changed?
10:07The last six years...
10:09I did what I had to do, stayed invisible.
10:11I had no choice.
10:14But when I saw you in the hospital, I knew I couldn't just walk away.
10:19Why were you at that hospital?
10:23It's...
10:24Still a lot of catching up we need to do.
10:27No.
10:29I...
10:34I...
10:35Don't need...
10:36To do...
10:37Anything.
10:39I hate to stop you!
10:41I thought...
10:43Well...
10:44Why are you...
10:45I'm sorry...
10:46Hang on.
10:47This is...
10:48When I saw...
10:49I thought...
10:50You can start...
10:51Anyway...
10:52I saw...
10:54The previous couple of days...
10:55I thought...
10:56Forget about...
10:57You can start...
10:58The second couple of days...
10:59I thought...
11:00You can start...
11:01You can start...
11:02Okay...
11:03I thought...
11:05You can start...
11:06I thought...
11:07You can start...
11:08You, um, find ways of dealing with that.
11:13Oh.
11:13Oh, no.
11:14Was Graham lonely?
11:16My heart bleeds.
11:17You'd have...
11:18Just to have a heart.
11:19Ha.
11:21I don't remember much after I...
11:23...first disappeared.
11:24I drank enough to silence the voices in my...
11:28...and finding out what happened to Marlon only made things worse.
11:32He must have...
11:33...have gone through hell.
11:34But what he does have...
11:36...is a wife who loves him.
11:38They're strong.
11:39I can't imagine anyone wanting to upset such a...
11:43...happy home.
11:45Well, that won't be me.
11:46It's pretty clear how the...
11:48...much her family means to them.
11:50So your paths have already crossed?
11:53Of course they have.
11:56You obviously know about the...
11:58...problems they've faced recently.
12:00Well, I make problems go away.
12:03So...
12:04...that's what really brought you back.
12:07Rona.
12:08And April.
12:10I thought you came back for me.
12:13...
12:28I never lied to you.
12:30So all of that when I saw you in hospital?
12:33It's true.
12:33Once I'd helped work out things for...
12:38...round April, I was going to take off.
12:43It all changed when I saw you again.
12:46He's making it up as he goes along.
12:48But I'm here now.
12:51Six years too late.
12:53Time for the...
12:58You must have worked out this wasn't...
13:03You think I thought I'd be welcomed with...
13:08I don't really know what you were thinking.
13:13What do...
13:13What do you want?
13:15Forgiveness?
13:16From you?
13:17The woman who put a...
13:18rope around my neck.
13:20And what's stopping me from doing that now?
13:22Easy to kill a man who the world thinks is already dead.
13:27A victimless crime, so to speak.
13:31Then...
13:32Then you'd have to grieve me all over again.
13:35Is that so?
13:37And you're forgetting something, Kim.
13:39I'm the only one who can see through the act through you.
13:42All of it.
13:45It was just a little girl...
13:47Who wasn't loved enough.
13:50Who grew up to be a woman...
13:52Who'd never be loved enough...
13:54By anyone.
13:57You have had a lot of thinking time, haven't you?
14:01Did you put yourself...
14:02Under 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.
14:09Not in front of each other.
14:12That's when the masks come off.
14:17Not in front of each other.
14:21Not in front of each other.
14:22Tell me it meant nothing when you found out I'd been killed.
14:27It meant less than nothing.
14:32And now say it again like you mean it.
14:35This was a mystery.
14:37So you keep saying.
14:39I don't know what else you want to hear.
14:42If I could go into that kitchen right now and get myself a knife...
14:47...come back and hand it to you.
14:51What's your next move?
14:53Right now?
14:56I'd happily...
14:57...to kill you all over again.
15:02Joe doesn't need you anymore.
15:07He's more like a son to me now.
15:12But the bond we had...
15:14Bonds get broken.
15:17Indeed.
15:19Like with your real son.
15:22How is Jamie?
15:28Is he dead to you as well?
15:31I won't...
15:32...let you ruin Joe too.
15:35I was there for him when he needed me.
15:37He needed someone.
15:38Where were you?
15:39I'm serious.
15:41I won't allow you...
15:42...to turn him into a version of you.
15:44A version of me?
15:45Mm.
15:47Who sees...
15:48...people as...
15:49...porn pieces on a chessboard.
15:51I...
15:52I am the only thing he has...
15:54...resembling family.
15:55You...
15:56...are a...
15:57...are a disease.
16:00Whatever he died of.
16:02I'm pretty sure you must have infected him first.
16:04You...
16:07If you're going to show your teeth...
16:09...make sure you can bite.
16:12Let...
16:13...go of me.
16:16You know I...
16:17...don't scare easily.
16:18I don't scare easily.
16:22If I wanted to scare you...
16:24If I wanted to scare you...
16:27...I would have come in the dead of the night.
16:31So what do you want?
16:32All right.
16:33That's it.
16:35All right.
16:36All right.
16:37All right.
16:38I'm sorry.
16:39I keep on working for another.
16:40All right.
16:41All right.
16:42All right.
16:43I'm sorry.
16:44I have a situation.
16:45Oh, I'm sorry.
16:46I'm sorry.
16:47I'm sorry.
16:48This one is...
16:49...as some problems.
16:50All right.
16:51All right.
16:52All right.
16:53All right.
16:54All right.
16:55I mean, once.
17:00is sad enough.
17:02But to become a widow three times, that's either unlucky
17:05or careless.
17:07But I was happy.
17:09Unlike...
17:10Like our marriage of convenience.
17:12But unfortunately for you, your...
17:15We're getting something.
17:17Technically...
17:20We're still man and wife.
17:22Which means your marriage of convenience...
17:25Could soon become very inconvenient.
17:28If you think you're into...
17:30I'm entitled to anything.
17:31Anything that's mine.
17:32What's mine is yours, and what's yours is...
17:35Gone said...
17:38Over my dead body.
17:40So that's the real reason...
17:45You came back.
17:47Now, I want you to do something...
17:49You're gonna...
17:50Find very difficult.
17:52Try and imagine a world where the most important...
17:55Nothing...
17:56Isn't...
17:57Money.
17:58You think I don't know what you're doing?
18:01And what's that?
18:02Pressing my buttons.
18:03Hmm.
18:05I think you'd still like me.
18:08I think you'd still like me.
18:10To...
18:11Press your buttons.
18:15Shut your buttons.
18:16I'll look for you to.
18:17I will walk whilst I want skin thick...
18:18I always.
18:19Told you the reason why I came back.
18:20To...
18:21That's what I'm heading into of...
18:20Rona and April. And the reason I'm going to stay is...
18:25Ciao.
18:35For far too long I've blamed you, hated you, resented you.
18:40But the person I was most angry with was me.
18:45Always hiding away, staying invisible, too scared to put my head anywhere.
18:51I will always be ashamed of that.
18:54There was a hundred...
18:55bullet-shaped reasons why I should have stayed hidden.
18:57But only one that brought me back.
18:59Ciao.
19:00I will do everything to show him that I'm still the same man...
19:05who was always in his corner, wrong or right.
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.
19:19But it's all just...
19:20words.
19:21Isn't it?
19:22I don't really have much else.
19:25Is that what you really want to hear?
19:31I think I've heard enough.
19:32He can say what he wants, but if you meant anything...
19:35to him.
19:36He would have made contact years ago.
19:38All that pain you were feeling.
19:40He could have stopped it in a heartbeat.
19:43He didn't.
19:45You have every right to hate me.
19:48And pretty much hate myself for what I...
19:50put you and other people through.
19:53But what we were...
19:55we can be that again.
19:56What were we?
19:57I heard you say it to Rona yesterday.
19:59I was...
20:00father and brother rolled into one.
20:05and they both abandoned you.
20:07You've...
20:08clearly grown into the family.
20:10a man I always knew could be.
20:12A man I'm proud of.
20:15And he became that man without you.
20:18No, I didn't.
20:20I am who I am.
20:21Because of you.
20:25We both know that.
20:26We both know that.
20:30Try not to kill each other.
20:31Try not to kill each other.
20:36If you think you've won.
20:37If you actually cared about him.
20:40and I mean really cared.
20:42You'd be happy that someone was in his life.
20:45who would actually take a bullet for him.
20:48Graham Foster.
20:50It would be much appreciated if you would accompany me to the station.
20:55to answer a few questions.
20:58Yeah, nothing but predictable.
21:00It wasn't her.
21:01It wasn't her.
21:02It wasn't her.
21:03It wasn't her.
21:05It was me.
21:07I called the police.
21:09You were gone.
21:11And you should have stayed gone.
21:14Oh dear.
21:16That bullet you were willing to take.
21:18Look who's holding the gun.
21:19Look who's holding the gun.
21:20And but a bad guy left man.
21:21young boy fell like me.
21:22When I played it all over once.
21:23I knew you had to come.
21:24To the police.
21:25I was out there.
21:26For my help, we all would keep going.
21:28You got upset.
