00:00Ross, please pick
00:29up. Look, I'm sorry, okay? I shouldn't have offered you money. I don't even know why
00:34I did. I just panicked, okay? Surely you can see that telling Mag isn't going to help anyone?
00:41Look, just don't do anything that we'll both regret, okay?
00:50Hi. Hey. Has it arrived? What?
00:56The results for the paternity test. They're not due back till tomorrow?
00:59Oh, no, no. Yeah, no, I know. Sometimes they come early, though, right? Will you let me
01:07know as soon as they do arrive? Of course I will.
01:12Charity, if I am the father, that's not the end of the road for Sarah and Jacob, is it?
01:17Like, we can find another surrogate and I will pay whatever it takes to help keep Sarah's
01:22dream alive.
01:22Babe, look, I get how much this means to you, but we both know that the chances of you
01:30being the dad are pretty slim.
01:32No, yeah, I know that. And that would be great for Sarah and Jacob, it's just...
01:37I can't help but wonder what if...
01:40Well, whatever happens, I'll love you more than you could ever imagine.
01:47I love you.
01:48And at the end of the day, that's all that matters.
01:52Come here.
01:53I've got your flask and your sandwiches.
02:01Ah, yeah.
02:02Let's go.
02:05Only us.
02:06Brought you a rabbit stew.
02:09Mandy's been on the phone.
02:12She says you've not been eating properly.
02:14Right.
02:14Did she send you to check up on me?
02:21This is so silly.
02:22I spoke to her this morning and I told her everything's fine.
02:26She didn't believe you.
02:27Well, I don't want her to worry.
02:29She's got her own problems with Tina and the kids.
02:31She's bound to be concerned about you.
02:33We all are, Paddy.
02:34Have you got any idea where your dad could be?
02:36No.
02:38Well, is there anything we could do to help?
02:40I wish there was.
02:44How did it go?
02:49She did really well.
02:52I had to read through my statement before I signed it.
02:55Seeing it all written down, what Ray and Celia did it.
02:59I'm OK.
03:01Grandma Mary made porridge for breakfast.
03:03Shall I heat some up for you?
03:05I'm tired.
03:06I'm going to go out to bed.
03:07OK.
03:08You go and get some rest and we'll perhaps meet Dad in the pub for lunch in a bit.
03:11How does that sound?
03:12I don't want everyone staring at me.
03:14No, they won't.
03:15You've done nothing wrong.
03:16Quite the opposite.
03:18The police were really impressed.
03:19You know, not everybody in your position will be so honest about what happened.
03:23Darling, if you ever need to talk...
03:24I don't.
03:25I just want to forget about what Ray and Celia did.
03:32Easier said, eh?
03:33She's strong.
03:34She's had to be.
03:35However strong you are, there are always things that can't be brushed under the carpet.
03:41Shouldn't you be getting to work?
03:42I don't like leaving her.
03:43No, I've got this.
03:44I'll persuade her to come to the pub.
03:45You can't let Chaz down.
03:57Oh.
03:59Why aren't you picking up?
04:01Please, look.
04:02I just need to know what's happened because things are getting out of hand here.
04:05People are being arrested.
04:05Please, just call me back.
04:11Do you want pasta for lunch?
04:15Joe?
04:16Hmm?
04:17Yeah?
04:17You all right?
04:18Yeah, I'm fine.
04:19Well, you've got the chessboard out.
04:21Clearly, something's troubling you.
04:26Hey.
04:28What's going on?
04:32You're going to think I'm crazy.
04:33Why?
04:36I've been thinking a lot about Graham recently.
04:41I really miss him.
04:44He's kind of like a dad.
04:46A lot more so than my real dad, anyway.
04:51I mean, yeah, we argued all the time and he was not without his faults, but...
04:55I'm pretty sure that he cared about me.
05:00And until you came along, he was pretty much the only person who ever made me feel...
05:05loved.
05:08What's brought this on?
05:09I think I saw him in the hospital.
05:16Well, that's impossible.
05:18I know.
05:18I know.
05:19That's crazy.
05:20And obviously, I am imagining it.
05:26But what if he's still alive?
05:28On the house.
05:30Any luck tracking your dad down yet?
05:32No.
05:32Oh, don't worry.
05:34He'll be home soon enough.
05:36Unless he's fried bread.
05:38Sam!
05:39Well, it's what we're all thinking.
05:42How did you get on at the police station, are you?
05:45Yeah, fine.
05:46I just needed to sign my statement.
05:48She was really brave.
05:50One step closer to putting all this behind her, aren't you?
05:52I'm more worried about that.
05:55You all right, mate?
05:59What do you think?
06:00Police let you go, then.
06:02I haven't been arrested, if that's what you're asking.
06:06I've done nothing wrong.
06:07I wasn't suggesting that.
06:08But if you had, you've done us all a favour.
06:11How do you think Ray's body got in the back of your van, then?
06:15Are you suggesting that I put it there?
06:17Sam was only asking a question.
06:19Well, you're all looking at me like I'm the number one suspect.
06:21What reason did I have to kill Ray?
06:25I hardly knew the guy.
06:27He didn't kill himself.
06:28You know, Laurel has been questioned by the police too.
06:31Are you going to start pointing the finger at her and all?
06:33No one's pointing fingers.
06:34Are you sure about that?
06:37You know, it wouldn't surprise me if Moira did do it.
06:40And all you are keeping shtum to try and stop the police from finding out.
06:44Our conspiracy theory is really useful.
06:47Will you dingles all look out for your own?
06:48You're keeping very quiet.
06:54Why are the police not talking to you?
06:56Give over.
06:57My landlord's no murderer.
06:59Ray corrupted his daughter.
07:01People have killed for less.
07:02Yeah, well, Dad wouldn't do that.
07:03No, but I bet you would.
07:04Don't blame April!
07:05Of course, she's to blame.
07:08Maybe not for the murder, but ask yourself, how did all of this come about?
07:12It's down to her and a druggie boyfriend.
07:17Ray's little helpers.
07:18It wasn't like that.
07:19I trusted you.
07:20Gave you a job and you used the depot to move drugs for Ray and Celia.
07:24And I'm sorry about that.
07:25Sorry.
07:26So how come the police are pointing the finger at me and Laurel
07:30when you and April have got every reason to want Ray dead?
07:33April's a good kid.
07:34Hardly.
07:36She brought her seedy little drug world to this village.
07:38You take that back.
07:40And you know better.
07:41It's no wonder she's half feral with you and Marlon as her parents.
07:50How can you possibly think that Graham's alive?
07:54I mean, he died six years ago and Billy and Priya found the body.
07:57I know.
07:59I know.
08:01But what if it's all smoke and mirrors?
08:03What if he's still out there?
08:04You know?
08:05I mean, if anyone could fake their own death, it's...
08:08Joe, have you heard yourself?
08:11Are you still concussed?
08:13Oh, no.
08:13It's ridiculous.
08:15It's probably just someone that looked like him.
08:18I just...
08:19Can't get it out of my head.
08:20I can't get it out of my head.
08:20I can't get it out of my head.
08:24I can't get it out of my head.
08:28Summer, hi.
08:31Yeah, yeah, I can be there in an hour.
08:35Okay, thank you for doing this.
08:37Who's that?
08:39Private investigator.
08:40Joe, oh, come on, you're clutching at straws here.
08:43Are you seriously hiring someone to look for a ghost?
08:47I mean, you can see how crazy this is.
08:50I can, I can, Dawn, I know, I know, I know.
08:52I just hired her to put my mind at ease, okay?
08:56I know, logically, Graham is dead
08:59and you can't just miraculously come back.
09:03But I needed that confirmed, okay?
09:05Otherwise, I'm, I'm never gonna be at peace.
09:09Oh, what's happened now?
09:13And this better be good
09:14because we have got a bar full of very eager ponters.
09:16Have you seen Ross today?
09:17Should I have?
09:18Babe, he's threatening to tell Mac that he's the father of the baby.
09:21And why would he do that?
09:22You said that Ross has no interest in being the dad.
09:24I don't know, he's, he's got some twisted loyalty to Mac.
09:27Plus, he hates me, all right?
09:28And he wants to destroy my marriage.
09:30Well, to be fair, you have played your part.
09:32Yes, I know this, Chas.
09:34You know, Mac's not gonna forgive me for this.
09:36I have been warning you this would happen.
09:38Oh, great, I told you so now.
09:40Like, I need that.
09:41I need to get older, Ross.
09:43Oh, come on.
09:45Why isn't he picking up?
09:48Well, maybe he's thought better of it.
09:49No, he's toying with me, babe.
09:51Let's face it,
09:52because Mac's heart isn't the only one that's gonna get broken if this gets out.
09:54There's Sarah as well.
09:55This baby means so much to her.
09:58You know, I'm in danger of losing everything right now.
10:00Right, you need to calm down and maybe seize the initiative.
10:03How am I gonna do that?
10:04Like I've told you.
10:05Come clean to Mac and tell him the truth.
10:07Are you for real?
10:08Well, it sounds like it's gonna come out anyway,
10:10so either you tell him or Ross will.
10:12Them's your options.
10:14Everybody's gonna hate me.
10:15Right, can you stop with the self-pity, please?
10:17We've got a village teeming with coppers trying to find Ray's murderer
10:21and Bear's disappeared, possibly dead,
10:23so compared to all that, this is just you being you.
10:27You've done worse and been forgiven.
10:29No, not this time.
10:31Babe, I cannot bear the thought of losing Mac.
10:34I love him.
10:35Is that Ross getting back to you?
10:39No, it's the hospital with the test results.
10:42This is gonna break his heart.
10:49Have you just gone up?
10:50So.
10:51Thanks, Mum.
10:52Can you get that, please?
10:58Hi.
10:59Hi.
11:00How'd you get on at the police?
11:02Not great.
11:06Well, at least they let you go.
11:08Yeah, didn't stop everyone in the pub assuming that I killed Ray.
11:12Bob all but congratulated me.
11:14Well, just ignore them, sir.
11:16Easier said.
11:17What did the police actually say?
11:19Well, they asked a lot of questions about me and you.
11:23They've even got this theory that you might have killed Ray
11:27and I helped you dispose of the body.
11:29Well, that's ridiculous!
11:31Well, they seem pretty convinced.
11:33Any idea why that might be?
11:35Well, how would I know?
11:36Look, I'm not judging you.
11:40We know each other too well.
11:42But you can trust me.
11:44Is there anything that you need to tell me?
11:48Are you accusing Mum?
11:49No!
11:50No!
11:51I'm just asking the question.
11:54Did you kill Ray?
11:56How could you even possibly imagine that I would kill somebody?
12:11Well, it's just that I had no reason to want him dead.
12:14But you on the other hand...
12:15I'm not listening to you, honestly.
12:16Look, I know how angry you were when you found out what he was really like.
12:22If you did do it, your secret's safe with me.
12:25That's all I'm saying.
12:26I'm not a killer.
12:27No, no.
12:28If you say so.
12:29Oh, so you don't believe me?
12:30Look, I don't know what to believe, Laurel.
12:32I'm too busy trying to prove my own innocence.
12:34If you didn't kill Ray, then you wouldn't need to prove anything.
12:37Well, somebody is clearly trying to set me up.
12:40Ray was shifting his drugs through the depot.
12:42Then his dead body ends up in the back of my van.
12:44It's all too convenient.
12:46I need to know the truth.
12:48Yeah, by pinning the blame on me.
12:49Look, that's not what I'm doing.
12:51Look, if you say you didn't hurt Ray...
12:53Then just stop saying if, OK?
12:55All right.
12:56I'm sorry.
12:57I know you didn't kill him.
12:59Nor did I.
13:01But the police seem hell-bent.
13:03So we need to protect each other.
13:05Oh, no, I don't need anything from you, thank you.
13:07Do you know what, Jay?
13:09Just get out.
13:10Why are you reacting like this?
13:14Just get out.
13:15I'm only asking the question.
13:16Get out!
13:17Hi.
13:18Hey.
13:19I appreciate you coming so promptly.
13:21Who's this?
13:22It's my fiancée, Dawn.
13:23Hi.
13:24I was told it was just going to be you and him.
13:25And you are?
13:26Detective Inspector Dent.
13:27She was first on the scene when Mr Foster was killed.
13:28You've got the police involved.
13:29She's not here in her official capacity.
13:30I shouldn't be here at all.
13:31She took some tracking down.
13:32Oh, I appreciate your discretion.
13:33I don't have much time.
13:34Have you got a photo?
13:35Yeah.
13:36Yeah.
13:37I don't have much time.
13:38Have you got a photo?
13:39Yeah.
13:40Yeah.
13:41Yeah.
13:42Yeah.

13:57Yeah.
14:04Is this the man you found that day?
14:06Yes.
14:07That's him.
14:08Are you absolutely certain?
14:09Without a doubt.
14:10I saw his body on the ground.
14:11I saw it at the morgue.
14:13This man's been dead for six years.
14:14So unless he's Jesus...
14:16Okay.
14:22Okay.

21:12that it wasn't me that put him there who do you think did then i don't know
21:21your guess is as good as mine
21:27but it has to be someone from around here
21:31and someone with a good reason to want ray dead
21:34and they'll have made a mistake somewhere along the way it's only a matter of time until the truth comes
21:42out
