00:00Your son is an abuser.
00:03And I'm appealing to you. Stop looking the other way.
00:05I love you. I love you too.
00:07You can give your evidence via video link and call.
00:11No. I want to be there. I want to face him.
00:17Some memories are best left in the past.
00:30I love you too.
00:36I love you too.
00:53I love you too.
00:59We're caught in a drought.
01:03I can't walk out.
01:07Because I love you too much, baby.
01:16Why can't you see
01:19What you're doing to me
01:24When you don't believe
01:26Well, you seen sense with Abe yet?
01:33We can't go on together
01:37We're suspicious lives
01:40Suspicious lives
01:41And we can build our dreams
01:44Babe, I am so sorry.
01:46I've only just checked my phone.
01:48Where were you all night?
01:50An old schoolmate took up at the end of my shift.
01:52We ended up having one too many, so I just stayed at his.
01:55I didn't want to come home making a noise waking you and Theo up, so.
01:58Well, you didn't need to worry about that.
01:59Seeing as Theo had me up three times.
02:02Well, I just...
02:03I thought with you being a man at me, I didn't want to make things worse.
02:06Especially with me being drunk.
02:12Well, actually...
02:13I want to make it better.
02:16I've got a surprise.
02:18I've booked the registry for 3pm.
02:20Are we getting married this afternoon?
02:27Thank God.
02:28You've been avoiding my calls and you can't just run off into the night.
02:32What does the sea mean?
02:35Hey.
02:37You ready for this?
02:39Yeah, I've had a practice run.
02:41No, not a good trial, you haven't.
02:42I mean, we barely stepped foot in here last time before JJ collapsed.
02:46And you know that he's going to be sticking into this consensual sex story.
02:49And you also know that you don't have to be in the same courtroom as him.
02:52You've still got time to be live-streamed from another room.
02:55No.
02:56I've been preparing for this day.
02:58They're going to listen to his taped confession and...
03:01That'll be enough, won't it?
03:03And I want to be in there when he gets punished.
03:05I want to look him in the eye when he can no longer deny what he did to me.
03:11Have you told anyone about it, Mum?
03:13No.
03:15Why was it even there?
03:17It was probably there before I moved in, I don't know.
03:19I've been trapped in here, I'm not going out.
03:21Perry's accusations, her and Cleo's.
03:23My reputation is at stake, Mum.
03:26It's just, it's just, it's just jealous insanity, isn't it?
03:36Where is it?
03:37Where's the sea?
03:38Well, I had to get rid of it, because I didn't want the police to think that...
03:41Look, Cleo wasn't in Bali.
03:42Mum, you don't think I'd hold a woman captive, do you?
03:45You don't believe what Perry's been saying about me.
03:47Mum, you're like the strongest woman that I know, Mum.
03:50You taught me to respect you.
03:51Dave, shut up.
03:53It's Joel, isn't it?
03:56Yeah.
03:57He's got into your head, hasn't he?
03:58Twisted everything.
03:59Mum, I was there.
04:00I was there at home when it was so dreadful with Dad.
04:03Do you really think that I would repeat the domestic violence you went through?
04:06Mum, I need you.
04:08OK?
04:08I need you.
04:10Please, Mum.
04:11Mum, hug me, please.
04:18Well, I call me traditional, but I adore red roses.
04:22Looking for a last-minute wedding bouquet.
04:24Oh, OK.
04:26Moving fast.
04:27I mean, just cos we exchanged our word yesterday.
04:29It's for Zoe.
04:31Wait, what?
04:32I...
04:33I don't understand.
04:35She wants us to get married today.
04:38And...
04:38And you're going through with it?
04:52Look, I don't actually know what I'm doing.
04:54Oh, OK.
04:55Well, then this is your chance for it all to come to a head.
04:58Prince, you...
04:58You can't get married.
05:00We...
05:01Started something special again.
05:02Yeah, but I have a kid, Dilly.
05:03But that's no reason to get married, OK?
05:05You can still see Theo.
05:07Zoe won't stop that.
05:08Look.
05:09I seriously, without a doubt, want to be with you.
05:13But I have to do right by you both and tell Zoe the truth.
05:45I do solemnly, sincerely, and truly declare and affirm
05:51that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth,
05:54the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
05:57This is a case about seeking justice.
06:01Some kind of closure for Frankie.
06:04A teenage sibling sexual abuse survivor.
06:08To begin to live a normal life.
06:11Safe, free, and unanimously believed.
06:17Two hours of woken bliss.
06:20Oh, and the twins were young and innocent then.
06:24Wish I could have stayed like that.
06:27Oh, there's something missing from this box.
06:29Where was it?
06:30Oh, don't worry, Mother.
06:31I'm sure we'll all be in there somewhere.
06:32Oh, Jez.
06:33Aren't you taking her to that routine hospital for a moment?
06:35You don't want to be late.
06:37Actually, I should take over in the store.
06:39Oh.
06:41You know, Charles said that Terry's hair was a wig.
06:45And I said, you're just jealous.
06:48And then I said, I wouldn't have minded putting Terry's hair to the test myself.
06:55And that landed me a black eye.
06:58Oh, Mother.
06:59It's all right.
07:04I can see directly into a dark soul.
07:08Mother.
07:09Come on, let's go.
07:10Where are we going?
07:12There.
07:16Dilly, what are you doing?
07:17Prince has a fiancé.
07:19It's the mother of his child.
07:20Who are you to judge?
07:22I know what it feels like now to have your fiancé cheat on you.
07:25Well, I doubt Zoe will go to your extremes.
07:29Meaning?
07:31Look, Zoe will just have to accept the Prince and I together.
07:34And that the wedding's off.
07:35It's the last ditch attempt to salvage something they never had in the first place.
07:38Why are you trying to wreck something that they are so obviously trying to save?
07:43Prince is only interested in you for some cheap, uncomplicated thrills.
07:47He's a knackered dad in his twenties.
07:49And he still thinks he can live the party life.
07:51And you are just some fun blonde.
07:53You're a distraction.
07:54He is the only one that has made me feel alive since Rafe.
07:58And you have no idea how much I loved him.
08:00So much that you attacked him out of spite and jealousy.
08:04You thought you'd killed him for God's sake.
08:06And you were the one that pushed Ethan to his death.
08:11You think you're so smart, playing the grieving widow.
08:19Well, I was smart enough to get away with it.
08:26Dilly.
08:30Dilly.
08:30Dilly, wait. Dilly, I was just angry. That was a lie.
08:37I'd lie in bed.
08:39And wait for the creepy footsteps.
08:43JJ'd wait till everyone was asleep.
08:45He'd close the door behind him.
08:48Let's play school discos.
08:50School discos?
08:51He'd start dancing with me.
08:54Then touching me.
08:56All over.
08:59He'd take my clothes off.
09:03And abuse me.
09:04And then when it was over, I'd run to the bathroom and...
09:08Mum would always ask me why I was spending so much time in there.
09:11But I was showering.
09:13And scrubbing.
09:15I had, um...
09:17Skin.
09:18Blisters.
09:20I hated my body.
09:23What you got from it.
09:25Frankie.
09:26You're doing really well.
09:29I lashed out.
09:31To try and make it stop.
09:35I, um...
09:36Trapped his...
09:37Foot in my bedroom door.
09:40Just to try and get him to go away.
09:43And then a few weeks later...
09:47I injured the same foot, but worse.
09:51Hit it...
09:53With a laptop.
09:54But it didn't do anything.
09:55And then...
09:57The...
09:58Horrible things he...
10:00Did...
10:02Made me do.
10:05One day...
10:06It got...
10:10Bigger.
10:11You know.
10:15He raped me.
10:20And self-harming took me out of it for minutes.
10:24Out of my brain.
10:26And then...
10:27I started drinking.
10:29Erm...
10:30But that didn't really help either.
10:33So...
10:33I ended up in hospital twice because of that.
10:37But you were prevented from telling a trusted adult
10:40the truth behind self-destruction?
10:46JJ said no one would believe me.
10:48And how do you say?
10:50How...
10:51How do you admit to...
10:55Taking part?
10:56Being made to take part in something so...
11:01So disgusting.
11:02And...
11:03And so dirty.
11:05No one else in the world does this with the brother, so...
11:10How do you come forward?
11:12Well, you're here now.
11:14You have come forward.
11:16And you're saying what you need to say.
11:22Frankie...
11:22Who was the first person you told?
11:26Madame.
11:27And after all this time suffering...
11:31What made you tell him then?
11:33I don't know, Madame.
11:35I came into his life when I was...
11:3715.
11:39Thought he didn't care.
11:41Because I was...
11:43Always acting up.
11:44The bad kid.
11:45But that was only because of...
11:47What JJ had done to me previously.
11:49You know...
11:51Trauma.
11:53And then it started again.
11:54It got worse.
11:56I got worse.
11:58And I think I was just really hard to love.
12:01But then on the day that...
12:04JJ signed his contract with United...
12:06I did.
12:10In that moment...
12:12My dad just...
12:13He said that he loved me.
12:16And it felt so safe.
12:19It felt like home.
12:23And...
12:25And that's why I'm here today.
12:45Mr. Osborne...
12:46Do you believe Frankie is capable of telling the truth?
12:49It's a stupid question, isn't it?
12:51Mr. Osborne, answer the question, please.
12:53I do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare...
12:56There were times when I did suspect she was being untruthful.
12:59You can understand why she told these lies.
13:02How did you feel when Frankie told you about JJ's abuse?
13:05This is my son.
13:07Breaks my heart.
13:08You were head of safeguarding at Hollyoaks High.
13:11How did you miss this?
13:12I mean, as a father, you want to protect your children from the world.
13:16How have these lies affected your family?
13:18My wife hasn't been allowed near the house.
13:20It was a living nightmare.
13:22How did it feel to be at the centre of these accusations?
13:25What could not possibly describe her, Phil?
13:27Did you believe Frankie when she lied about Nancy?
13:30Do you think JJ is capable of these accusations?
13:34Right, the taxi should be here soon.
13:37Isn't your daddy handsome?
13:39Isn't he gonna be my handsome husband?
13:41Right, stop.
13:42I can't do this.
13:46You're flighty.
13:48Cheeky.
13:50Happy-go-lucky.
13:51That's what made me find you so irresistible.
13:54Enough to make me cheat on a hunter, but...
13:56all the cheating's done now.
14:01Not on my part.
14:03Oh.
14:06It's a good thing I didn't call a taxi.
14:08Or apply for a marriage licence.
14:11What?
14:12You watching?
14:13Er, sure.
14:14It's like dozens of what's getting hit bashing.
14:17It takes more than a day to arrange a marriage.
14:20Are you that thick?
14:21And as if I'd want to commit to a lying, cheating, bed-hopping coward.
14:25You've had all morning to tell me that you spent the night with Dilly.
14:30Are you jealous of your twin brother's footballing achievements?
14:34No.
14:35I wanted the best for him.
14:37He trained hard and it was his dream.
14:39You wanted the best for him, despite claims of serial sexual abuse that you hated.
14:44That you wanted to stop?
14:45The difference between wanting the best for my brother and wanting the abuse to stop.
14:49The day of Monday, the 15th of April, 2024.
14:52When you smashed JJ's foot with your laptop, resulting in a chipped bone and torn ligament.
14:58And he thought his career was over before it had started.
15:01Because of the injuries you inflicted.
15:03I know what you're trying to do.
15:04Do you really think that I would have given him my stem cells to let him live if I was
15:10jealous of him?
15:10He had leukemia and I saved him.
15:13When you wanted him out of your life, you saved him?
15:16So that he could come to this trial and get punished.
15:19Not only for my justice, but, you know, for all the other kids out there that are too afraid to
15:26speak out.
15:26And I still didn't want him to die because he's still my brother and it's complicated.
15:34It is complicated, isn't it?
15:36With the laptop, why did you go for his foot, not his arm, his chest, his face?
15:43I didn't mean to, I just, it was in defence of him coming into my room.
15:47The day you finally chose to tell your father the sexual abuse allegations.
15:51The dad who you crave affection from, who you want to spend time with.
15:55Understandably, after 15 years of absence, you seem to favour JJ.
16:01Was this the day that JJ signed a professional contract for United?
16:07Yes.
16:10Frankie, it appears you were jealous of your brother's football career.
16:16Guarding your phone, talking rubbish about seeing an old schoolmate.
16:19Your jacket stunk of her perfume.
16:21Look, Zoe, I do love you.
16:23And I think you're an amazing woman, but being in love, it's, it's gone.
16:28Great.
16:29And here she is.
16:30So if I hadn't put on this fake wedding, would you have even told me this?
16:33Or would you have kept that as an affair?
16:36Zoe.
16:36Listen, back off.
16:37Before I do something I'll regret.
16:39I'm sorry, Zoe, alright?
16:42Prince, I'm, I'm sorry.
16:44Dilly, I love you, okay?
16:46Look, can we meet up after?
16:48I promise, I do love you, but I'll talk soon, alright?
16:51Okay.
16:53Dilly, please talk to me before you talk to anyone else.
16:55I don't want to hurt you.
16:57I don't want you to be scared.
16:58You're my sister.
16:58I love you.
16:59Hey.
17:01Hey, what's up?
17:07Oi.
17:08You're on my time now, alright?
17:11Traffic's busy tonight, so we're gonna have to jump through some red lights.
17:25On the day of Friday, the 16th of February, 2024, do you remember telling your stepmother, Nancy Osborne, that your
17:32grandad, Jack Osborne, touched you inappropriately?
17:37Yes, I remember.
17:39And had he touched you inappropriately?
17:41No.
17:42Why did you lie about being groped?
17:44I was suspicious because it was a dance and because of what JJ had done to me.
17:50But I know a grandad wouldn't do that.
17:51Frankie, when you were growing up, did JJ and your mum have a nickname for you?
17:57Well, everybody has a nickname.
17:58Did JJ and your mum...
18:00No, can you stop bringing my mum into it because she's dead!
18:02Did they ever call you Fantasy Frankie?
18:10Yes.
18:18I'm leaving.
18:19I never want to see you.
18:21Do they?
18:23What's wrong?
18:26Um...
18:27Me and Sienna, we...
18:30We had a falling out, so...
18:33Gonna see Prince talk about the next move.
18:36Which will be, um...
18:39Me moving out.
18:41What would make you want to leave your sister?
18:43Mother said she had a dark soul.
18:47And she does.
18:49I just found that out.
18:51She...
18:52She said she did it.
18:55Jez, you should know you're her dad.
18:58She...
18:58She admitted to killing Ethan.
19:02Oh.
19:05I see.
19:11What?
19:12You still have that?
19:13Oh.
19:15I just like to keep mementos.
19:18And this...
19:21This is my collection.
19:41I'm coming.
19:43I'm coming.
19:52Closed mouth.
19:53Catches no flies.
19:55You're just the feckless spawn of my deranged, dead brother.
19:59And frankly...
20:00I'm sick of the reminder.
20:06You know, my mother always protected me when it mattered.
20:10Just like I'll always protect my daughter when it matters.
20:13Please, Jez, just let me go.
20:15You'll never have to see me again.
20:16You know, this old thing...
20:18Always reminds my mother at the stove...
20:22While Patrick was tormenting me behind her back.
20:26Talk about apron strings.
20:31You know, you matter to me now.
20:35Because I need to keep my daughter out of trouble.
20:38So...
20:40You...
20:42Really...
20:43Matter to me now.
20:46Please, please, please.
20:48I need to learn.
21:01The night sky is the road I'm taking.
21:05Head high up in the clouds.
21:09I'm a born to run.
21:11I don't belong to anyone.
21:13Oh, no.
21:14I don't need to be held by you.
21:17Oh, good.
21:19You're up.
21:19Just gonna bring the car around, but I could do some help getting the hammer.
21:22Eh?
21:23Hm.
21:28Well, JJ's the last one to testify.
21:31With any luck, I'll get a verdict by the end of the day.
21:38Hey.
21:40Get your glad rags on.
21:42You've got visitors.
21:50I'm in the back row.
21:51Are you ready?
21:55Um...
21:58What is all this in head of?
21:59Oh, well.
22:00We tried to go out for our morning walk, but Martha got a bit agitated.
22:03Said that you promised her a picnic.
22:05Considering it's minus two outside, I thought we'd bring it indoors.
22:08Well, as much as I'd like to indulge you on this little, er, flight of fancy, I'm afraid
22:13I have some more important things to do.
22:15Don't do, Mother.
22:17Cucumber sandwich?
22:18Don't be a spoilsport.
22:20There's no harm in it.
22:25Look, I didn't promise to take you on a picnic.
22:27I said I needed your help.
22:29Help for what?
22:30Oh, for goodness...
22:33You ruined everything.
22:35It's a mess.
22:37I'm sure there's nothing important in there.
22:38Just...
22:39Just leave it, okay?
22:40I'll...
22:41I'll...
22:41I'll clean it up.
22:42Why don't you two go and have some tea at Castle McQueen's instead, eh?
22:46Treat yourself some churros.
22:48Oh.
22:48How's that sound, Mother?
22:49I haven't been there before.
22:50Do I like it?
22:51Yes.
22:52Right, we're just, er, going outside.
22:54Take your time, ladies.
22:59Dilly knows that I killed Ethan, and I think she's gonna go to the police.
23:03Hmm.
23:12A cup of tea?
23:14Your mum told me what happened.
23:16I'm so sorry, Perry.
23:18You've got nothing to be sorry for.
23:20Just me who should be sorry.
23:23Abe made me believe it was you.
23:25Who made him the way he was.
23:27He brainwashed you the same way he did to me.
23:31But he can't hurt us anymore.
23:36Why what?
23:37The police haven't actually charged Abe.
23:40But if someone else was to come forward?
23:42I can't.
23:44Don't you want to get justice for what he's done to us?
23:46Of course I do, but...
23:48No.
23:50I'm not reliving it.
23:51It's okay, babe.
23:52You don't have to do anything that you don't want to, okay?
23:55They'll just pick my story apart, Perry.
23:57If they didn't believe you, why would they believe me?
23:59Bottom line is, Abe's gonna walk free if we don't do something.
24:03Please, Cleo, we have to try.
24:07No, you can't just drop me in it like that.
24:10Well, I appreciate you've been on the waiting list for a long time, but it's just a war.
24:13I mean, you can hardly see it.
24:15Okay, okay, name your price.
24:18Well, now you've just taken a...
24:20You hung up on me.
24:21What am I gonna do?
24:22I'm chef-less.
24:23Here you are.
24:25Oh, nice.
24:27Hey, you left these outside.
24:29You gotta be careful.
24:30Napkin thieves arrive around here.
24:32Here's the sign.
24:34Phew!
24:35Coming in here right now.
24:36It's obviously meant to be.
24:38Okay, I'm gonna presume you don't want too many espressos.
24:40Are you nervous about the grand opening?
24:41Got it in one.
24:42No, no, no, I'm serious.
24:44It was always my plan to have you as my chef, so why not start right now?
24:47I don't really think that's a good idea, is it?
24:48Why not?
24:49Well, for one, maybe I'm not ready yet.
24:52Of course you are. You've been doing great.
24:54And you won't know until you try.
24:55And two, we've had the chat, Tony.
24:57I'm not happy I meant that she's working here.
24:59Oi!
24:59I'm not deaf.
25:00Look, I appreciate there's a bit of tension flying round, but we're all adults.
25:03Can we not just leave it at the door?
25:05Right, that's exactly what Noel said to Liam, innit?
25:07Yeah, and it didn't stop them making a comeback, did it?
25:09Come and see, what'd you say?
25:13Fine.
25:14I'll do it.
25:16And just so you know, I'm Liam in this scenario.
25:20Ha!
25:21I can't say I'm not a little disappointed, but I can live with that.
25:26Come on, let's get down here.
25:29Miss, do you remember the name of that B&B or that Dilly's state, didn't you know, after?
25:32Zoey caught you cheating first time.
25:34Shouldn't you be more concerned about your family?
25:35I am concerned about my family, but I know where they are.
25:38Look, I just need to know if Dilly's okay.
25:40She's not answering her phone.
25:41Well, she is more than capable of looking after herself, that one.
25:44Eh?
25:46Tony must have lost plot hiring you, mother of a rapist.
25:57I do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that the evidence I shall give shall
26:06be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
26:10Well, that's the first lie he's told today.
26:15Is it true that when you were arrested following Frankie's allegations, that you told the police
26:21that you did have sex, but that it was consensual?
26:25Yes.
26:25And do you stand by that statement?
26:28I'm not proud of it, but I do.
26:31And yet, a year later, you made a tape in which you confessed to rape.
26:36I did.
26:37But you have now decided to recant that confession.
26:40Could you explain to the court why that is?
26:43It was made under duress.
26:44You thought you were going to die.
26:46Is that right?
26:48Yes.
26:49I can see how that would be a very scary moment for you.
26:52Is it fair to say that it felt like your last opportunity to put the record straight?
26:58It did.
26:59And did you?
27:00Put the record straight?
27:03No.
27:04I said what Frankie told me to say.
27:06That is just a disgusting lie.
27:08Order!
27:08She said if I admitted I raped her, she'd donate her stem cells.
27:12She said it was my only way of surviving.
27:14I had to confess or I'd die.
27:15Let me get this straight.
27:16Your sister, who apparently hated you so much that she would fabricate these very serious
27:22allegations against you, she offered to save your life in return for a confession?
27:31Yes.
27:32But if she hated you so much, wouldn't it be easier to just let you die?
27:43I hope she'd like to channel some of that nervous energy into giving me a hand.
27:46The police could be here any minute to arrest me for my husband's murder.
27:50I don't know why you're being so calm.
27:52I don't know why you're being so hysterical.
27:54I already told you.
27:56Dilly, you won't be telling us all.
27:57How do you know?
27:58No, because I took care of him.
28:00What did you say to her?
28:02Look, Sienna, I'm your father.
28:07It's my job to protect you from anyone or anything that threatens your happiness
28:11and I'm not going to apologise for that.
28:14I mean, Dilly was a threat, so she had to be stopped.
28:19Where is she?
28:21Please, Sienna, it's been a testing morning.
28:23I'd really like to finish my coffee.
28:25Where is she?
28:41Come on, Dilly!
28:43Come on, Dilly!
28:46He killed her.
28:54Let me tell you what I think.
28:55I think you confessed willingly because you thought you were on your deathbed.
28:59You didn't believe that you would live to see the consequences.
29:03That's not true.
29:04But you pulled through.
29:05And now, faced with a very long prison sentence, you're somewhat regretting your honesty.
29:09She held me to ransom.
29:10I'll ask you again.
29:12If Frankie hated you so much, why did she save your life?
29:18I don't know.
29:20Maybe she didn't want another death in conscience.
29:22I'm sorry?
29:23Frankie turned everyone in my family against me.
29:26Except my mum.
29:28She didn't believe any of her stories.
29:30That is a lie.
29:30Order!
29:32One more outburst from you, Mr Osborne, and I will have to remove you from the court.
29:36Frankie was glad when my mum died.
29:38She was the only person who knew I was telling the truth.
29:42She didn't have to die.
29:45I just needed a chance to explain.
29:47She would have understood.
29:49Sienna.
29:49Explain.
29:50Don't be naive.
29:51She knew me.
29:53And she knew what it was like to lash out in anger.
29:55She did the same thing to rape.
29:56I couldn't take that chance.
29:58And you know well as I do.
29:59She's a loose cannon.
30:00She didn't deserve this.
30:02I'm sorry, but you shouldn't have told her in the first place.
30:07You're saying this is my fault?
30:09I'm saying that if I hadn't intervened, you would have gone back to prison.
30:13Well, maybe I deserve to be punished.
30:15I killed my husband and I covered it up.
30:17No.
30:18No, no, no.
30:19Ethan was an obstacle to your happiness.
30:21And you dealt with him before he caused you any more pain.
30:24And Dilly was no different.
30:26Look.
30:27It's up to you.
30:29Either you turn me in.
30:32Or you roll up your sleeves and help me dispose of the body.
30:42You found that a bit distasteful, didn't you?
30:44I could tell.
30:47No.
30:48Not at all.
30:51Come on.
30:53You'd have to be a sociopath not to.
30:56But, you know, it's a job at the end of the day.
31:00And it pays well.
31:01And plus, most of the kids don't even know they're being exploited.
31:05And no one ever comes looking for them?
31:07Most of them are estranged from their families when we find them.
31:10And if they're not, we do our best to isolate them.
31:14Like this one local kid.
31:16I'm getting them hooked on spice.
31:19Yeah.
31:20What's his name?
31:32Do you know what?
31:35I don't think this is going to work out.
31:38What?
31:39Why?
31:40Because I've got a nose for these sorts of things.
31:44Get out of the car.
31:45No.
31:45Wait.
31:46I need this man.
31:47I've got nothing else.
31:48Please.
31:49Get out.
31:51Before I make you.
32:13It's not quite right, is it?
32:14No, it's great, Steve.
32:15Stop crying your aunt out.
32:16Maybe it's all coming back to me.
32:18Little, my, little.
32:20You just got to roll with it, kid.
32:22OK, all right, yeah, thank you.
32:24Cheers, bye.
32:25Will you two pack it in?
32:27Whatever, man.
32:28That's an awayson, son.
32:29We weren't being rude, honest.
32:30I was.
32:31Thanks, Steve.
32:31Look, it's very nice that you two are having a bit of male bonding,
32:35but we've just had another cancellation for the opening.
32:37Oh.
32:39It's me, innit?
32:41I mean, Mercedes said as much, didn't she?
32:43My son is accused of all sorts and I'm guilty by association.
32:47No-one wants to eat here.
32:48I should... I should just quit.
32:50No way.
32:51Rather just postpone the opening.
32:52What?
32:53You can't do that.
32:55Hey, people soon realise that Abe pulled the wool over your eyes
32:58just like he did with everyone else.
32:59I mean, you'd have said something if you knew it was up to no good,
33:02wouldn't you?
33:02Of course I would have.
33:03Well, then, we'll give it a couple of weeks
33:05and we'll see how the dust settles.
33:07Oh, er, sorry, we're not open yet.
33:10Oh, no, I was just here a minute ago.
33:12With Anna having tea.
33:14Oh.
33:15Er, OK, well, in that case, come and sit down
33:18and I'll tell you what, we will call Anna.
33:20Have you got her number?
33:21Er, I don't think so.
33:23But she's married to my Patrick.
33:25He'll know.
33:26OK, I'll tell you what, should we...
33:27Should we call Jez instead?
33:29No, no, don't do that.
33:31He was inconsolable when Anna left him.
33:35That's how all this started.
33:44OK, one, three.
33:47No, I can't, I can't, I can't touch that.
33:50Would a pair of gloves help?
33:51No, a pair of gloves wouldn't help.
33:52What is wrong with you?
33:54Liberty and Martha will be back any minute.
33:56We're ready to have time for this.
33:58Who are you?
33:59What's that supposed to mean?
34:00I don't recognise you, you're being so cold and clinical.
34:03I'm being practical, and I'm sorry if that offends you,
34:06but I didn't judge you for covering up Ethan's death,
34:09and I need you to do the same for me.
34:15Jenna, I'm your father.
34:18I share the same blood, and no one...
34:22No one will ever love you like I do.
34:27Tell you what, why don't we go to Castle McQueen's
34:29and get some coffee, some more?
34:32That was... days, even.
34:33Who knows?
34:34It's either going to be guilty or not guilty.
34:36It can't be that hard.
34:37It's more complicated than that, and you know it.
34:41Oh, Cleo.
34:42It's so good to see you.
34:43How are you getting on?
34:44It's all a bit overwhelming.
34:46Yeah, of course.
34:47Well, hopefully you'll be home soon.
34:48I'm not in any rush, to be honest.
34:50Hmm.
34:55Frankie, I'm so sorry about your mum.
34:58I should have never have been on that bike.
35:00I was just desperate to escape.
35:04It's okay.
35:06I understand that feeling.
35:08Of course you do.
35:11How's it all going, the trial?
35:13Well, they've made their closing statements,
35:16and the jury's deliberating.
35:19But Frankie has been very brave speaking out,
35:22hasn't he?
35:23Yeah.
35:24I should have done it ages ago.
35:25Cos now the jury's going to be thinking
35:27who in their right mind would stay for that long.
35:30It can't possibly be true.
35:31No-one is thinking that.
35:33Hello?
35:37What, already?
35:39Right, thank you.
35:43The jury's reached a verdict.
35:45Is that good or bad?
35:50Wow.
35:51You've got a body in there.
35:53They're Christmas decorations.
35:55We, um, a bit late taking them down this year.
35:57You know, that's bad luck.
35:58Oh, I know, I know.
35:59That's why this lot's off to the charity shop.
36:01Positive actions, reverse bad karma.
36:03Yeah.
36:04Only life are that simple, eh?
36:06Have you seen Dilly today?
36:11I think, um, he deserves to know the full story, don't you?
36:15Look, Prince, I'm sorry, but, uh...
36:17Well, Dilly's let us know that she doesn't want to be found.
36:20But why?
36:21She's obviously had a change of heart
36:22about getting involved with a serial cheat.
36:25That is not fair.
36:26I tried to do right by my family.
36:28But what me and Dilly have...
36:30Had.
36:30I think you need to get used to talking about her in the past tense.
36:33Because I don't think she's going to be coming back anytime soon.
36:36Well, she might have given up on me,
36:37but I haven't given up on her.
36:38I love her.
36:39Listen, your relationship with Dilly is dead,
36:41so I suggest you focus on
36:43breathing some life back into the one you had.
36:53Shall we?
36:56Come on.
37:00Hey.
37:01Hey.
37:03You OK?
37:04Yeah, how are you?
37:05Yeah.
37:06Right, listen.
37:08When all this is over
37:09and you're feeling up to it,
37:10we should go to Polly.
37:12For real, just me and you.
37:13Like backpacking.
37:14Oh!
37:15No, absolutely not.
37:17We'd stay in one of those really classy hotels
37:19with an infinity pool
37:20lying on inflatable flamingos.
37:22So not that classy, though?
37:23No.
37:31I'm not very...
37:35I know what you need me to do.
37:39I can't.
37:41I saw Frankie today.
37:46It's just brought loads of stuff up for me.
37:50It's OK.
37:52I can't go through what she's just had to go through again.
37:57I get it.
37:58You're not ready.
38:00Yeah, but what if I never am?
38:02Then that's OK, too.
38:04Cleo, you're my best friend.
38:05I love you.
38:07Yeah.
38:07Come here.
38:17I can't.
38:18We're nearly there.
38:20Come on.
38:24Sit up.
38:26Come on.
38:27Come on.
38:39There's someone coming.
38:41Then help me.
38:42Hello?
38:50Yeah.
38:50Hello?
38:51Hello?
39:01Hello?
39:31THE END
39:36On the counts of rape and sexual assault, do you find a defendant guilty or not guilty?
40:06Wait. I did it. I raped my sister. I abused her continuously.
40:22It wasn't consensual. She told me to stop and I didn't.
40:32I'm guilty. I'm so sorry.
40:42I'm in the village now. Where are you?
40:50Sienna! Sienna!
40:52I just saw...
40:52I know this is difficult.
40:53I just saw Mark. Mark, my twin. Mark.
40:59This isn't the time.
41:01Sienna, I need you to stay focused, okay?
41:06Okay.
41:16I thought you didn't trust me.
41:19Don't. But a gaffer seems to think otherwise and we both know what happens to soldiers who don't follow orders.
41:25Right?
41:26So whether I like it or not, we're both stuck with each other.
41:39Do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty?
41:44Guilty.
41:45Jack Osborne, the jury has found you guilty of rape and sexual assault.
41:52I sentence you to a two-year detention and training order in a young offenders institution.
41:58You will also be subject to the requirements of the sex offenders register.
42:13How could he do that?
42:15You took your sister, threw it all over again.
42:17Take him down.
42:18Your own family!
42:19I did the right thing in the end, though, Dad.
42:22Dad, I'm scared.
42:24Dad, will you come and visit me?
42:27Please.
42:28Dad!
42:42You should be ashamed of yourself.
42:43This is about Zoe.
42:44I don't need any grief off you.
42:45I'm already getting enough off my family.
42:46So you should.
42:48How could you cheat on her with Dilly?
42:50I don't need to explain myself to you.
42:54Honestly, right now, I'm more concerned about finding out where Dilly is.
42:57But is she ghosting you as well?
42:58Yeah.
42:59Oh, well, I'd arranged to meet her earlier for coffee.
43:02You know, to a reminder of girl code.
43:04But she didn't show up.
43:06Do you think she's all right?
43:08I don't know.
43:08She's working.
43:09She's gone and isn't coming back.
43:10I'm just worried she thinks I stood her up yesterday.
43:13Oh, Martha?
43:14Oh, I haven't got time to stop and chat left.
43:16Oh, is that Dilly's purse?
43:19Yes.
43:20I found it on the pavement.
43:21Must have fallen out of her pocket.
43:23Good job I picked it up, isn't it?
43:27To work.
43:28Yeah.
43:29And the next time Dilly has a day off from the kiosk, I'm going to suggest he comes with
43:34me.
43:35Why?
43:36So he can see the devastating consequences of what happens when you start messing with
43:40drugs.
43:41Maybe the...
43:45And, um, where are you off to, all suited and looted?
43:50Something I need to tell you.
43:57It started going through my mind when you were kidnapped.
44:00Freddie, Gracie, others helped to try and secure your release.
44:04But if I'd have had a squad of professional officers with me, things would have been a
44:09whole lot different.
44:10What are you saying, Donny?
44:13That I've rejoined the police force.
44:16Today's my first day back.
44:19Why didn't you tell me?
44:21I was worried that if I didn't pass the exam, you'd see me as some kind of failure.
44:25I'd never think that.
44:27And you'd pass.
44:28Oh, with flying colours.
44:31You know, looking at Detective Inspector Donny Clarke.
44:35Am I now?
44:36Oh, yeah.
44:37And, um, what time does your shift start?
44:41In an hour.
44:43I'm not due to the hospital until half two.
44:47All right.
44:50All right.
44:54Next up, radish with tarragon, parsley cream and edible flowers.
45:00What's wrong?
45:01I'm a human being.
45:02I ain't a rabbit.
45:03I don't eat flowers.
45:04Just try it, will you?
45:14That feels quite good.
45:15Yeah, I know it is.
45:16Even got Marie's seal of approval, that one.
45:18And she's normally a meat and two-beds kind of girl.
45:21Hey, I thought we agreed to leave any family feud at the door when we're at work.
45:25Yeah, I know we did, but I...
45:25Robots, if you and me working together is going to function, then we need to stick to
45:29our rules, okay?
45:31I can't believe you finally admitted it.
45:33Just wish you'd done it from the start so they couldn't do that trial.
45:36Just give me a sec, will you?
45:39Hey.
45:41You were back from court early.
45:44Yeah.
45:45It's over.
45:46Yeah, before the jury found him guilty, JJ shouted that I'd been telling the truth
45:51and that he'd lied.
45:53Well, maybe now you can get some closure.
45:56We're going to make sure of that.
45:57Look, you all look shattered.
45:58Why don't you come inside and have something to eat?
46:00It's your opening night, Tony.
46:01Surely you're fully booked.
46:02Well, we decided to postpone the launch of the restaurant.
46:05You can give me your views on all the new dishes.
46:07It sounds good to me.
46:09Cheers, Tony.
46:10Come and get inside.
46:13You all right, mate?
46:15If she is, then I am.
46:28I hope we need to get to work.
46:30And it'll be a lot quicker if you assist me.
46:36Okay, so this is for the table.
46:38Are you here, Frankie?
46:40Cheers, Tony.
46:42And Steve.
46:43Cheers, Tony.
46:47I know today has been a lot,
46:49so if you ever want to scream or shout or cry,
46:53I'm here.
47:01It's good to see you smile.
47:02Yeah, will you make me laugh, Grandad?
47:05Frankie, you don't know what that means to me
47:07when you call me Grandad.
47:10See?
47:11That's what family's really about, isn't it?
47:14Supporting each other.
47:15Yeah, same with mates.
47:17I mean, you and me,
47:17we might have had disagreements,
47:19but we'll always have each other's backs, yeah?
47:36Would you like to say a few words?
47:41I don't know how upset you are right now,
47:47but everything's going to be all right, I promise.
47:53I wouldn't be so sure about that.
48:10You see, this is what happens when you're careless,
48:13and if this had fallen into the wrong hands...
48:15What, wait, what?
48:19Do you know that he...
48:20That he killed Dilly?
48:22Yes, of course.
48:23Oh, we're going to prison.
48:25I thought you were asleep in your room.
48:26I was in the bedroom, but I wasn't asleep.
48:28I heard the entire conversation with you and Dilly,
48:31and then there was a big commotion,
48:33and then it was silence.
48:34I mean, that's what had happened.
48:37You two are acting like this is completely normal,
48:39and it's not!
48:41He just killed my cousin.
48:42I just helped bury our body.
48:43Just stay away from me!
48:47So, how's your first day back on the beat going?
48:51Back on the beat?
48:53Detective inspectors don't go on the beat,
48:55as you call it.
48:56Hmm.
48:58Well, you'll have to fill me in on the terminology.
49:04over a special dinner that I cooked for you tonight.
49:07Oh, that's nice.
49:09I'll pray.
49:10Give me that.
49:14See you later.
49:15See you later.
49:18Why do you look so on edge?
49:20I ain't.
49:21What are you trying to hide from?
49:22Pack it in.
49:24How's Dylan?
49:26What's it to you?
49:28Just the last time I seen him,
49:29he looks...
49:30bad way, that's all.
49:32What do you mean, in a bad way?
49:34Well, he just seemed a bit out of sorts.
49:36He was more than out of sorts.
49:39He was off his face on drugs.
49:41And I want to know where he got them from.
49:44Don't know why he's looking at me.
49:45I've got nothing to do with it.
49:47You sure about that?
49:48Positive.
49:50I don't believe a word that's come out of your slimy mouth.
49:53Come on, let's go.
49:55You keep away from Dylan.
49:57Or you'll regret it.
50:01Hey!
50:01Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
50:03Rex, Rex!
50:04Get off me!
50:05Stop!
50:07That was an accident.
50:10You made a big mistake there, lad.
50:13You just assaulted a police officer.
50:21Hey, you haven't seen Dilly, have you?
50:25What's happened?
50:26Oh, I...
50:28There you are.
50:29I've been looking for you everywhere.
50:31Sienna, what's wrong?
50:32It's just family business.
50:33I am family.
50:35My daughter's your granddaughter.
50:37I was married to your son, remember?
50:38Oh, and that was a long time ago.
50:40And the key words in that sentence is
50:42WAS MARRIED.
50:44Why are you being rude to me?
50:45You started it!
50:47Just...
50:47Stop.
50:48Sorry.
50:50Look, oh.
50:52I'm a bit all over the place today,
50:54what was my condition and everything.
50:56Forget what I said.
50:57You are family and you always will be.
50:59And families always have each other's backs, don't they?
51:01Of course they do.
51:02And that's why,
51:04seeing as I used to be your step-mum,
51:06if you ever need to talk to me,
51:07I'm only a phone call away.
51:10I know you're feeling overwhelmed, but...
51:12I am more than overwhelmed.
51:14I know.
51:15And that's why I think
51:17you should come back to the flat
51:19and talk to your father.
51:20About what?
51:22Who
51:23and what he is.
51:29Well, this is a lovely surprise.
51:32Do you want a cup of tea?
51:33Is anyone else at home?
51:35No.
51:35No, it's, er...
51:36It's...
51:38Mmm.
51:39Not that I'm complaining
51:41any of the slightest,
51:42but what's got into you?
51:44I just had, er...
51:45I had quite a day,
51:46and, er...
51:47Well, I could really do with
51:47blowing off some steam.
51:49If you're up for it.
51:51Oh, I'm definitely up for it.
51:53Good.
52:07We'll just wait for the duty solicitor
52:09to arrive and, er...
52:11We'll get started.
52:12I don't need a duty solicitor.
52:14Sure call, lad.
52:16Assault on a police officer.
52:18Very serious offence.
52:20I mean,
52:21if you want my advice,
52:23I'd get somebody in here
52:24who knows what they're talking about.
52:28While we're waiting,
52:30why don't you tell me
52:31how you know Rex Gallagher?
52:33What's that to you?
52:35Let's just say me and Rex
52:37have got history.
52:40Have you now?
52:48Why don't you fill me in
52:50on what you know about him instead?
52:53Because I'm the one
52:53asking the questions here.
52:54Well, actually,
52:55I think you'll be answering
52:56a few yourself soon.
52:57What are you talking about?
52:59I'm an undercover police officer.
53:02Yeah, right.
53:07I'll call this number
53:09and my handler
53:12will confirm it.
53:18You've just compromised
53:19a case I've been working on
53:21for months.
53:35The number you are calling
53:37is unrecognised.
53:51I'm afraid we have a problem
53:54on our hands.
53:55You need to do something.
53:57What?
53:58Taught your daughter.
54:00Tell her everything.
54:03You think she's ready?
54:06Well, seeing as though
54:07she's just helped you
54:08dispose of Dilly's body,
54:10I think now is as good
54:11a time as any,
54:12don't you?
54:21Thank you
54:23for helping me today.
54:29Mother thinks that
54:29you and I should have
54:30a little talk about,
54:33well, me
54:34and my life.
54:39Thank you, Taim.
54:40That was really kind of you.
54:41You're more than welcome.
54:43I'm just going to get some time.
54:45Oh, Franks.
54:46Hmm?
54:48Is it OK
54:49if I ask you something?
54:50Of course.
54:52My niece is about to go
54:53on the same journey
54:55you've just been on.
54:57Steve, I'm so sorry.
55:00So I just wanted to know
55:01if you had any advice
55:01on how best I can support her.
55:04Well, the most important thing
55:06is that you believe her.
55:08I do.
55:09Yeah, make sure she knows that.
55:12Thanks.
55:16Mate, Ricky.
55:19Frankie's going to be OK,
55:20isn't she?
55:22Yeah, I just want to wrap her up
55:24in cotton wool
55:24and make sure nothing happens
55:25to her ever again.
55:27Do you realise how much
55:28you've messed things up?
55:29I've told you I'm sorry.
55:30Yeah.
55:31Well, now you've stupidly
55:32made your presence known
55:33to the police.
55:35We're moving you
55:35to the Manchester side
55:36of operations.
55:38I'll text you the details.
55:50I've just got some news
55:51you're not going to like.
55:54Gaffer just told me
55:54they want me on another
55:55construction job in France
55:57first thing in the morning.
55:58It's just for a couple of months.
56:00Plus, the pay's great.
56:02So, think of all those gifts
56:04I can buy
56:04with all that cash
56:05I'm going to earn.
56:08I don't have to leave
56:08for about another hour,
56:09so how's about
56:11we make up for the fact
56:12that we're not going to
56:13see each other
56:13for a bit now?
56:15I'd like that.
56:16A lot.
56:25Ah, here he is.
56:28Who's that?
56:30His name was Basil.
56:33Yeah, but who is he?
56:35Well, he's the man
56:36who ran through a red light
56:38and crashed into my car.
56:40Well, I mean,
56:41it was a long time ago now,
56:43but he admitted it all.
56:44But when the police came,
56:46he'd been a bit squarely on me.
56:48She was in a terrible state.
56:50She couldn't eat.
56:51She barely slept.
56:53And then,
56:54when he said
56:55he was going to take her to court
56:56and sue her for damages,
56:57well, she just fell apart.
56:59She was devastated.
57:02And then,
57:03your father made the problem
57:05go away for me.
57:08Lots of people say
57:09they would do anything
57:10for someone they love.
57:12But how many people
57:13actually do?
57:14I mean,
57:15the situation with Dilly
57:16is exactly the same.
57:18I mean,
57:18if she had told anyone
57:19that you'd killed Ethan,
57:20well,
57:20you'd have been sentenced
57:21to life in prison.
57:23And the twins
57:24would have lost their mother
57:25and I would have lost you too.
57:26And I just,
57:27I just couldn't let that happen.
57:29So do you understand now
57:30why I needed to protect you?
57:36I think so.
57:42And now it's over.
57:45It's done.
57:48I'm really tired.
57:50I'm going to bed.
57:52Of course.
57:54Night.
57:55Night.
57:58You know,
58:01I understand you had to take care
58:03of the Dilly situation,
58:04but,
58:05um,
58:07I'm going to ask you a question.
58:09I want you to be very honest with me.
58:12Of course.
58:15It's not starting again,
58:16is it?
58:18I couldn't bear to see
58:20that darkness rising at you again.
58:22It's not.
58:23So don't worry.
58:25Mm-hmm.
58:26Mm-hmm.
58:37Mm-hmm.
58:39Mm-hmm.
58:41Mm-hmm.
58:54Mm.
