00:01I will never do anything like this again.
00:05Abe Fielding, you're under arrest on suspicion of rape.
00:07I'm glad that you've come back,
00:08but only because I need you at the trial.
00:10The police are releasing him.
00:11How do I prove to the police that I'm telling the truth?
00:15Move it.
00:17Abe.
00:55Mithida's is Tex.
00:56Cleo's woken up.
00:57What? Where are you going?
00:58Should I find out what she knows?
01:01Milo, wait. I'll come with you.
01:07Sadie's.
01:09Hi.
01:11You need to tell me everything that happened, okay?
01:16Bring back.
01:21You are on your final warning.
01:26If you don't want to speak to the police, that's fine, but you can talk to me.
01:32Hey.
01:34Cleo.
01:36I'm so happy you're okay.
01:40It's nice to see you both.
01:43They said I really need your help.
01:46Something bad has happened.
01:49It's to do with Abe.
01:51Bye, what's he done?
01:54Are you right, Perry?
01:57Well, I hope that sicko is behind bars.
02:01No.
02:02Police let him go, pending further enquiries.
02:05And that's why we really need your help.
02:08To make sure he doesn't get away with it.
02:11Okay.
02:13I'll tell you everything that happened.
02:16Babe, I'm sorry you didn't get any sleep again last night, but I swear I didn't hate you all crying.
02:19He was fast asleep after I read him a bedtime story.
02:22I gave up my career to be a mum.
02:24I'm exhausted.
02:26And instead of getting a respectable job, you bum around in here eating cheese and flirt with customers.
02:32Oh, so that's what this is about.
02:34You're gonna hold that daily mistake on me forever, yeah?
02:36Step up for your family.
02:37Otherwise, we are done.
02:41It's so lovely to spend quality time with you both.
02:49Oi, you.
02:50We're here for a quiet cup.
02:52I'm sorry not to sit for some rain.
02:55Give me the Terry Wogan show instead of that twaddle any time of the day.
03:01His silky Irish accent used to make me tingle in all sorts of places.
03:07On that plate.
03:08Oh, that soothing voice.
03:11Got me through some bad times.
03:15And there were many bad times.
03:18After the crash,
03:20Abe took me from the hospital back to the flat.
03:23We had a massive argument.
03:25I tried to leave. I wanted to leave.
03:29But he told me that I killed Susanne and Marie in the crash.
03:34He convinced me that I couldn't leave because no one would forgive me for what I'd done and the police
03:38would be after me.
03:44It's been a time.
03:45So even though he's made my life a misery, I believed him.
03:48I let him lock me in that room.
03:51Because I thought he was keeping me safe from the police.
03:56So, I was always baking in the kitchen in Meadowhold.
04:00And I was dancing around, you know, and giggling to Terry Wogan's jokes on the radio.
04:05And then Charles would come home and he'd say,
04:09Oh, you like that dimwitter DJ better than me, don't you?
04:13And then one day, he snapped.
04:16And he threw my radio into the rubbish.
04:20I knew he wouldn't stop.
04:21So I got all my LPs and I hid them in the attic.
04:24Well, then we'll go and get your records right now from Meadowhold.
04:28Come on. Come and deal.
04:30Er, no, I'll just, I'll sort the bill.
04:33OK.
04:36Someone's having a good day.
04:38Zora just told me a new one said I'm a lazy rubbish dad.
04:42OK. Well, I mean, look on the bright side.
04:45If crushing recyclables is recognised as an Olympic sport, then you're gonna smash LA 28.
04:51Could you imagine?
04:53You know what? You're all fit, bottle, sweaty and light crack.
04:57Yeah. Good.
04:59I, erm...
05:00I need to take all this heart back.
05:02Well, I can come with you if you want.
05:05I'll be blouse and see you.
05:09You know, at first he made out like he was protecting me.
05:12He used to give me things to keep me entertained.
05:15And then he wouldn't let me out.
05:18He literally controlled every aspect of my life.
05:21My food.
05:23My sleep.
05:25I relied on him for everything.
05:28And then as the days, weeks, months passed,
05:33I just stopped seeing him as my captor.
05:36I started seeing him as my saviour.
05:39Please don't tell me you were in this village the whole time.
05:44When I found out that you had cancer,
05:48I tried to escape.
05:50I couldn't do it.
05:51It was so...
05:53loud and bright and...
05:56disorientating.
05:56I just...
05:58I didn't think I could survive without Abe.
06:04Now is really not a good time.
06:06I just wanted to make sure you're okay.
06:07Look, I know you've got the trial next week.
06:09Alright, I'm off.
06:10And the way, Kelly's hops.
06:13You okay?
06:15Come in.
06:19When I was at my lowest with JJ,
06:22Dad was my rock.
06:23And for the first time in my life,
06:25I actually had a Dad.
06:26And I felt safe.
06:28Now the trial's coming,
06:30I need him more than ever.
06:31Yeah, but you have him.
06:33What if he does it again?
06:34I'm lost.
06:35What is he gonna do?
06:36Same as last time.
06:38Just disappear and not come back.
06:41When he started seeing Perry,
06:44I thought it was just to keep up appearances on the outside
06:46so no one suspected anything.
06:48And then when I realised they were actually in love,
06:51I didn't take it very well.
06:54They tried to keep me sweet.
06:55And then I saw the message from Marie on his phone.
06:58And I realised he'd been lying to me this whole time.
07:03And keeping me in that room was never about protecting me.
07:06It was about controlling me.
07:09That was a massive turning point.
07:13That's when I was just...
07:15I was consumed with rage.
07:19I'm so tired and stressed
07:21and all he cares about is when his next protein shakes due.
07:24Zoe, that's not true.
07:26Prince does care.
07:27He's always been a good dad.
07:29Maybe.
07:30But something's changed.
07:31He kissed Dilly a few weeks ago.
07:33Dirtbag!
07:35Zoe, I'm so sorry.
07:36We need a crisis talk.
07:42Look.
07:43Abe had got me this crime book.
07:44There was a story of this girl who...
07:47tricked a captor into thinking she was dead to escape.
07:50So I just copied that.
07:53I convinced Abe that I had a relapse and I was dying.
07:56Hey, can you hear me?
07:56I wanted him to marry me symbolically before he married Perry.
08:01My plan was to die in his arms.
08:03Cleo.
08:04And then when he went to ditch my body I'd run.
08:06I just needed to get to his and Perry's wedding so everyone would see what a monster he is.
08:11Yeah, and they will.
08:14Listen Cleo, thanks to you he's not going to be able to do this to anyone ever again.
08:17I just need to get something.
08:19I've got a joint.
08:23Hey.
08:24I need to ask you something.
08:27I...
08:29Did...
08:30Did he, you know...
08:37No.
08:39No, but...
08:41He did used to make me feel like there'd be consequences if I didn't do what he wanted.
08:46Right.
08:49Listen.
08:50You tell me where that room is and I'll go there right now.
08:54You don't have to be scared anymore Cleo.
08:57He was going to prison today.
08:59He's never going to get out.
09:03Must be difficult for you seeing Joel and Cleo so close after all this time.
09:07It's not that Mercedes.
09:09What is it then?
09:13You know I've been trying to remember things from that night.
09:17And I've not been able to remember anything.
09:19It's just been darkness.
09:23Do you remember someone?
09:28Last night at the police station.
09:32Perry reported something that Abe had said to her.
09:37It was like a flick.
09:38And the switch just went off and...
09:41And it all came back to me.
09:43What are you saying?
09:45It was Abe.
09:49Abe, read me!
09:51Eli, we've got to go to the police.
09:55I will.
09:57But Joel has to know first.
10:09You know, that is what I call a winter war.
10:16It's funny isn't it?
10:18It was just the stone throw away from where it all began.
10:22Oh yeah.
10:23I was getting that check-up out of the hospital.
10:24And I was just recovering from my head injury.
10:27And I was maybe checking you out a little bit.
10:31And yeah, banded over orange juice.
10:37Hello?
10:42Pearl.
10:42What's up?
10:44I'm minding Theo, but I'm at work.
10:47Pearl.
10:51Pearl's taking Zoe to the pub.
10:52And they've left Theo with John Pearl.
10:55So I've got to go.
10:55Sorry.
10:56Okay.
10:58Well...
10:58What about us?
11:00Billy, I'm with Zoe.
11:01We have a kid.
11:02And the little man comes first.
11:04You're not happy with Zoe.
11:06And now she's guilt-tripping you, trying to tie you down.
11:08But I just...
11:09I want you to be free.
11:11And you can still be a dad to Theo.
11:13But you can also be the fun-loving, iron-pumping fool that I fell for.
11:20And never try and change you.
11:22I love you.
11:26I love you too.
11:31Come here.
11:32Come here.
11:34I believe you.
11:38Joel?
11:40What are you doing?
11:41Can't find that room you look clear when.
11:43Hey, Joel!
11:54Hey.
11:55What is this?
11:56Cleo found it when we moved in.
11:58Gave her the creeps.
11:59I turned it to a gym.
12:00Yeah.
12:00She barely spent five minutes in here, so.
12:02Aye.
12:04Why?
12:05Does everyone keep provoking me, huh?
12:09Joel.
12:10Leave it.
12:11If having a home gym's illegal.
12:13Go on.
12:14Can I call the police?
12:21Please.
12:24Why are you not answering your phone?
12:27Because it's dead.
12:28You're a taxi driver and you didn't charge it.
12:30Are you stupid?
12:31Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
12:32My charge is broken.
12:35What's wrong with you?
12:38It's this trial.
12:39I can't do it if you're not there to support me.
12:43Hey.
12:47Are you afraid I'm gonna bail on you again?
12:51Frankie, I've already told you.
12:54I promise I will never let you down again.
12:57Alright?
13:01Listen, you know we discussed you can give your evidence via video link and call.
13:09That is still an option, you know?
13:10No.
13:12I-I wanna be there.
13:13I wanna face him.
13:17Okay.
13:20You deserve this.
13:24Everyone's gonna realise you've been telling the truth.
13:28And JJ will finally get what's coming to him.
13:32You sit down.
13:33I'll go get us a drink.
13:37Er, bottle of fizz please.
13:38A bottle of fizz, yeah, of course.
13:40So there was a room like Cleo described?
13:43Yeah, it's full of gym equipment.
13:45Apart from that, it was empty.
13:48Hey, Willa, I got your text.
13:50Something you were gonna tell me?
13:53Aye.
13:53Okay, I know you think I'm some sort of, like, super villain, right?
13:58But there is not one single shred of evidence that Cleo was kept in some room.
14:03Right, Mum?
14:04Joe, the girl is disturbed.
14:06Yeah.
14:07So everyone else is lying but you, Vanessa?
14:10Oh.
14:11Sorry, do you have proof?
14:12No.
14:13So I'm gonna go get myself a drink.
14:15Alright?
14:21Lazy men are like cats.
14:23They won't move unless there's food or something shiny in front of them.
14:28Well, right now I feel anything but shiny.
14:30Babes, a glass of this and you'll be sparkly.
14:35Yeah.
14:36Oh, Sienna, you've made me the happiest lady in the world.
14:40How can you even show us a face around here?
14:43Come on, let's just go.
14:45We're not going anywhere.
14:52You need to leave.
14:54Excuse me.
14:56Go.
14:58Otherwise, I'll tell every single person in this pub who you really are.
15:02Joe, get a grip.
15:04Yeah, mate, she's right, you're losing it.
15:06Okay.
15:08Excuse me, everyone.
15:10Sorry.
15:10I just wanted to say some words about my wee brother.
15:14Joe, you're making a fool of yourself.
15:16I know what yous are all thinking.
15:18Right.
15:18Abe's sound, isn't he?
15:20The local PT.
15:21He's really kind, he's giving, and that's what Cleo thought when she first met him too.
15:24Okay, Joe, I think that's enough now, mate, yeah?
15:26After a few months, things started getting a little bit bumpy for Cleo.
15:30Didn't they?
15:32Now, Abe would probably call it a bit of knockabout.
15:34Right, Joe, yeah.
15:35We'd call it domestic abuse.
15:38So we were over the moon when Cleo decided to end things with Abe and get off travelling,
15:41but guess what we found out today?
15:45When we thought she was away for the whole year in Bali,
15:48she was, in fact, locked inside his apartment where he controlled her every single move,
15:55broke her down physically, emotionally.
15:58Joel, mate, you're embarrassing yourself here.
15:59The guy that you think is there just to keep you fit and get your confidence back
16:02is, in fact, nothing but a twisted, misogynistic narcissist.
16:07Yeah, well, you're jealous fantasy.
16:07That's not disgusting enough.
16:09You've went and raped somebody else we all care about.
16:11Joel, stop this now!
16:15I'm not going to let you hurt anybody else.
16:22Looks like no one's got your back there, mate.
16:29You need to leave?
16:33You heard the girl.
16:35I'm a survivor, too.
16:39Now get out, and then come back.
16:56You OK?
16:59I know you.
17:02You're smart.
17:04You're good at reading people.
17:07And I also know that a mother's instinct is to protect their young.
17:12Especially when you feel like you've failed as a parent.
17:16Excuse me?
17:19Your son is an abuser.
17:23The police released him.
17:25Cleo told us everything.
17:27He basically tortured her.
17:30And he raped my daughter.
17:33Stop.
17:34No, Marie, it's true.
17:37And I'm appealing to you.
17:39From one heartbroken, terrified mother to another,
17:44please stop looking the other way.
17:49You know, Martha, if you ever want to talk about what happened with you and Charles,
17:53when I'm ready, I'll tell you.
17:55I was wondering where you guys were.
17:57Yeah, well, we took a trip down memory lane.
18:00We went and retrieved some of Martha's things from Meadowholt.
18:03Oh.
18:04Well, you're going to be late picking up the twins.
18:05I can take that if you want.
18:06Oh, gosh, is it that time?
18:08You brought it?
18:09Yeah.
18:09I'll see you later.
18:10See you later.
18:10Bye.
18:16Bye.
18:16I warned you before, Mother.
18:18Some memories are best left in the past.
18:21We wouldn't want anyone to get hurt now, would we?
18:22Everybody, yeah. Rock your body, yeah. Everybody, yeah. Rock your body, right.
18:38Back streets, back, all right.
18:55Let's go.
19:23Let's go.
19:55Let's go.
