00:00I know I'm the last person you want to see, but I didn't leave my phone here yesterday by any
00:03chance.
00:04I still can't believe you've been staying.
00:05How long has Frankie known? She's going to sell Lucas now, isn't she?
00:08I feel like I'm losing control.
00:09These might help.
00:10I think my life's about to blow up, and I don't want to be sober when it does.
00:13My brother was the furthest thing from my mind, and now he's just back at the forefront again.
00:18I wish there was something I could do to help.
00:19JJ was attacked in prison this morning.
00:21I'm really sorry to have to tell you this.
00:23JJ's dead.
00:30JJ's dead.
01:00She hasn't slept in the bed.
01:01It's going to voicemail.
01:06Frankie's gone.
01:12He's up.
01:14Ah, you muppet.
01:16Steve?
01:18Are you okay?
01:19Oh, my.
01:25Hey, have you seen Frankie?
01:27Supposed to be meeting her here.
01:28You're not the only one.
01:36That is not good enough, Donnie.
01:39She's in heaven and all state.
01:40We only just found out JJ was murdered yesterday.
01:42Which is why we're going to report Frankie as a missing person.
01:45We'll do our best to find her.
01:47Well, that's not enough.
01:48You know, from experience, we take situations like this very seriously.
01:51But we can't divert all resources to one case.
01:54Sally?
01:55Have you heard from Frankie?
01:56No, why?
01:57She slipped out last night and she's vanished and now her phone's off.
02:00Vicky and Dylan will have an idea where to look.
02:02In the meantime, we'll get our beat officers out to keep an eye out.
02:05We will find her.
02:10Look, she won't have gone far.
02:12First I lose my son.
02:13Now my daughter's who knows where.
02:15No, I'll get on to her mates.
02:16You start looking around the village.
02:17Yeah.
02:17I can hold off my other work and focus on this 100%.
02:20Thanks, Sally.
02:21I'll message as soon as I find anything.
02:22Thanks.
02:31If my world's about to erupt, let's have it.
02:35Maybe we should call it quits now.
02:37No.
02:38No.
02:39She's another pill.
02:40Only the best from Gemma Johnson.
02:42I've not read it first reality yet.
02:44You?
02:46Social services.
02:48I've got a meeting for our James tomorrow.
02:52Needs to text Dylan back.
02:53No, no, no.
02:54You're not doing that.
02:55Not stop that.
02:56Hey.
02:57I'm going to turn that front upside down, yeah?
03:00Something's misregorts.
03:02All right.
03:03You're not my misregorts.
03:06Something's not right here.
03:09Why would Frankie invite us here both at the same time?
03:11She knows we're not in a good place.
03:12Maybe she wanted to get us to a good place.
03:14I think she'd be more concerned about her dead brother, don't you?
03:16What?
03:18Who died?
03:19JoJ.
03:20Yesterday.
03:22Oh.
03:26Shouldn't we help her get through this together then?
03:28We?
03:30There's no we.
03:31Look, I get it that you're mad and all, but I'm sorry.
03:33And I withdrew my statement just like you asked.
03:34You should have never lied in the first place.
03:36You should have never hit your dad.
03:43Did Nancy message you too?
03:45Yeah.
03:47Frankie's missing.
03:48I'm going to go find her.
03:49I'll come with you.
03:50Just back off, Lucas!
03:51Oi.
03:52What's going on?
03:54Look.
03:55I know things must be tough after the way your dad treated you.
03:58But we're all on your side.
03:59Isn't that right, Dylan?
04:01Yeah.
04:02Right.
04:04Let's go find Frankie.
04:10Let me know if you spot anything, yeah?
04:15Problems?
04:16Don, what do we know about JoJ's murder?
04:18Not on our patch.
04:19Not that much.
04:20Don't it seem weird to you?
04:21Look, Sully starts going out with Frankie and all of a sudden JJ gets killed.
04:25And when the Osborns were in there earlier, something was really off about him.
04:29Well, it's weird to me.
04:30A grown man would be chasing after a teenage girl.
04:32But I don't write the laws.
04:34You should leave the JJ investigation to the local force.
04:37What if they do a lousy job?
04:39I won't lose any sleep over it.
04:40He's a criminal.
04:41JJ was serving Tom and Frankie was getting justice.
04:43Now that's been compromised.
04:44Maybe JJ got what him and creeps like him deserve.
04:47Is that what you tell yourself?
04:48To feel better about what you did.
04:53I thought you weren't going to say anything.
04:55I haven't.
04:56But you might.
05:04I hope this is as urgent as you said it was.
05:06I was already late dropping Sophie and Sebastian to school.
05:08And I really do need to get back to the hospital.
05:10No, it is.
05:10Look, I...
05:12I baked Cleo this cake.
05:14I did it myself.
05:16Honestly?
05:17I believe you.
05:19How are they doing?
05:21Oh, well.
05:21The baby's putting on weight, which is great.
05:23And they've moved him out of his incubator.
05:25But, um...
05:27I'm really worried that this is going to be a long road with Cleo and that I'm not going
05:32to be enough for her.
05:33I'm not you, lover.
05:35That is always enough.
05:37Thanks.
05:39Mercedes isn't answering her phone.
05:41Yeah, well, she's not at work and I took the kids to the nursery today.
05:44She's not with Tony either.
05:45Where is she?
05:46I saw her earlier, actually.
05:48She's with Steve.
05:49They were definitely on something.
05:51So, not content with attacking his own son?
05:53He's now doing drugs with my sister.
05:55I'm really worried about him.
05:57But I just have so much on my plate with Cleo and I have to get back to the hospital.
06:05Well, I'd better throw a sickie and go and find her.
06:07Yeah, well, I'll come where you are.
06:10So, ready for the big move tomorrow?
06:13Oh, I can't wait.
06:14That commute from Liverpool's a killer.
06:16And we can be one big happy family at last.
06:20Your dad's on shift, but I can lug boxes upstairs.
06:23It'll be a good workout.
06:25A marathon, more like.
06:26Have you seen my wardrobe?
06:28Francine Osborne, her family's reported her missing.
06:31Has she been admitted here?
06:32You're Frankie.
06:34Uh, did I come there?
06:36Hey, you should have seen Mercedes earlier.
06:38Totally spaced out.
06:40She must have taken too many pills and then mixed them with booze.
06:43So risky.
06:44That woman is falling apart in front of my eyes and I am so here for it.
06:47Nothing.
06:48Where is she?
06:52DC Sullivan.
06:54When was this?
06:59OK, you two.
07:00Sophie and Faith are going to be back from their play date soon, so I'll make her something to eat.
07:03Oh, don't go anywhere.
07:05Not until you've opened your first week clothes from me.
07:07Yay, advent calendars!
07:10This isn't chocolate.
07:11No, it's an amethyst crystal.
07:13She does this every year.
07:15I can't get to the actual food because my stupid protein shakes are always in a wedding.
07:21Where is he, anyway?
07:23I swear he was on the early shift this morning.
07:25He gives everything to that job.
07:26Not a great deal to us.
07:28Seriously, though.
07:29What is wrong with our brother?
07:32Maybe he's just feeling badly about Cleo and distracting himself with work.
07:36I thought she was getting better.
07:38Yes, she is.
07:39But now Mark's realised that her feelings are just as psychosis talking, so it's got to hurt, right?
07:45Kids!
07:46Wash your hands, please.
07:47Your food's nearly ready.
07:49Well, whatever it is.
07:50He needs to be here with his family.
07:53Not lost in his work.
08:05Have you said anything?
08:06About what?
08:08You know what?
08:09About Griff.
08:12No.
08:13But you're going to?
08:18I used to look up to you.
08:19Can you believe that?
08:21I always thought you did your best for every victim of crime.
08:23How wrong was I?
08:26What happened, Dom?
08:28You still haven't answered my question.
08:30You going to report me or not?
08:43Sully.
08:45I checked like you asked, and you're right.
08:47The keys to the school are gone.
08:48Frank, he probably took them.
08:50The local PCSOs are made.
08:52He said someone spotted her heading this way.
08:53But why?
08:56Darren, we don't want to panic the students, but...
08:59Oh, my God.
09:02Frankie.
09:14Hi, don't kill our boss.
09:20Yo, fam.
09:21Don't joke, aren't I?
09:22Not joking, little joke.
09:25What are you doing?
09:29What, you're mixing booze with pills?
09:32I just needed a distraction, John Paul.
09:35From hitting your son?
09:36It's a good job that they took James off you.
09:38I might be getting him back.
09:40I still got a meeting with social services tomorrow.
09:43Never going to happen, mate.
09:44You're just a violent addict who's fell off the wagon.
09:47Golly.
09:54What are you thinking?
09:55I'm not an addict.
09:56What, you're acting like one?
09:58I mean, look at the state of your...
10:00Yeah, I'm hot.
10:01No, you're a mess.
10:03Look, where's your self-respect?
10:05Oh, wait, I forgot.
10:06You've not gotten her.
10:07Because if you did, you wouldn't be allowing Warren to treat your family like crap.
10:11No, I dumped him.
10:12Yeah, so he's gone, and I'm on me own again.
10:14You're not on your own, though, are you?
10:15You've got all of us.
10:17And Cleo, she's going through the hardest time of her life.
10:20And poor Tona is sat in a hospital bed, and he can't even talk.
10:24And here's you, chasing your next high.
10:34Where you going?
10:35Where you going?
10:45He better know what he's doing.
10:46He does.
10:47And that's why he's up there, and we're not.
10:52Frankie.
10:54He shouldn't be up here.
10:56Neither should you.
10:58Just needed to go away.
11:00Clear my head.
11:02I'll admit this was kind of a stupid place to come, but...
11:06I just can't deal with my family.
11:08My dad, after.
11:10That's why I told him to leave this with me.
11:15You shouldn't feel pressure to grieve the way people expect you to.
11:19It's your grief.
11:21Unless it's not grief at all.
11:23No.
11:25No, it is grief.
11:27It's just really messed up.
11:32Do you know we used to play football in the yard like them boys?
11:36Then he'd come home.
11:39He'd knock on my bedroom door and...
11:45And now he's gone.
11:48And I don't know how to face my family.
11:50What do you mean?
11:56JJ.
11:58Him dying.
12:01It's my fault.
12:03It's my fault.
12:25I need to report a fellow officer.
12:29I need to report a fellow officer.
12:38You okay?
12:39Yeah, yeah.
12:39You?
12:40No, I'm not.
12:40I'm running ragged back and forward to this place.
12:43It's easy, are you?
12:44You're okay?
12:45You look a bit...
12:46You want something?
12:47Well, I know.
12:48I just had a big night, that's all.
12:50I'm...
12:50came to see Tony.
12:52No, look, Rayse.
12:53Forget about us.
12:54You need to look after yourself.
12:56You don't need to worry about me, yeah?
12:58No, come here, Rayse.
13:00Go and grab yourself a coffee, yeah?
13:01Well, get a coffee and...
13:02No, you need to go and freshen up a little bit and sort yourself out.
13:05Rayse, he's not going anywhere.
13:06Come back later.
13:11I still can't believe about JJ.
13:14I guess it just shows that life's too short.
13:16And you've got to grab happiness where you can.
13:17They're foul, Frankie.
13:18No, I don't need your life lessons.
13:19Well, maybe we can hang out instead.
13:21No!
13:21Okay.
13:24Steve!
13:24No.
13:25Look, just come back!
13:26Don't nag your sister, not me!
13:27Look, Goldie's looking after Mercedes, Dad!
13:28I'm trying to take care of you!
13:30Steve, come on.
13:32Yeah, come on.
13:32Just come on!
13:33There you go.
13:37Lucas.
13:40I need to go back.
13:41No, just let him do his job.
13:44None of this is your fault, Frankie.
13:46But I wanted JJ out of my life.
13:48What if the universe actually listened to me for once?
13:51The prisoners in with JJ,
13:53some of them are seriously violent people.
13:55They're why it happened.
13:57I don't know, then.
13:58Maybe you're right.
13:59I am.
14:01Always.
14:02It's just the gift I have.
14:04And I wish I wasn't so weak.
14:06You're not weak.
14:08JJ, the trafficking gang.
14:10You're one of the strongest people I know.
14:12Not when I have to watch my dad grieve.
14:16He knows what JJ did.
14:20He was still his son.
14:23I think it's best for you both
14:24if you're just together now.
14:32So will you come down with me?
14:46Thank God.
14:48Lucas!
14:49Hey, keep him away from me!
14:51Look, don't be like that!
14:52You're his son!
14:54Look, I love you, don't I?
14:55I love you so much.
14:57I know things have been a stop, but I...
14:59Is he okay, then?
15:00Why have you done this to yourself, Dad?
15:02You know exactly why he's doing this.
15:04Son.
15:05Please.
15:07Just go home.
15:08Lucas, okay?
15:09You being here's not helping anyone.
15:11If you need anything, just call me.
15:13I'll come over, but you need to go.
15:14You're gonna come over?
15:15Go, now!
15:21What are you doing?
15:23Eh?
15:24What's all this about?
15:25Are you worried about Lucas?
15:27Are you concerned about your meeting?
15:28What meeting?
15:29Social service is about seeing James again.
15:31Well, I'm not going, am I?
15:32Obviously, I can't.
15:33Well, that's everything you wanted, Steve.
15:35Just...
15:35What have you taken?
15:37Oh, so a few drinks, so what?
15:39And a few prescription sablots.
15:42Steve, that can kill you.
15:43Yes, you're an addict, but...
15:44You're a dad.
15:46You're a granddad.
15:47You're supposed to be my sponsor.
15:48Well, go on, you tell me and all!
15:50Go on, tell me I've let you down!
15:51I know I've let everybody down, Dylan!
15:54And this is the whole reason why I'm not going to that meeting tomorrow.
15:57No, that's exactly why we're gonna get you cleaned up and sober for tomorrow.
16:03Please, Steve.
16:10You really think we can get him sorted out for social services?
16:14We have to.
16:23Mercedes, you don't look well.
16:24I've come to see Tony.
16:26I don't think that's a good idea.
16:27You're clearly under the influence.
16:28I need to see him.
16:29I've made a mistake.
16:30I need to check.
16:31That is okay.
16:31Wait.
16:32Have you been drinking and taking anti-anxiety pills?
16:34Have you got any more?
16:37I mean, I do, but I don't think that's a good idea.
16:39Please.
16:42Right, as long as you stick to the guidelines this time.
16:44Yeah, I will, I promise.
16:45Wait here.
16:46Yeah.
16:56Right, take these and take a cab home.
16:59Go on.
17:08You were right.
17:09She's spiralling, just like I knew she would.
17:13So you might be the one after Tony?
17:15Probably.
17:16But what I want to talk to you about isn't about your husband's recovery.
17:20I am so sorry, Diane.
17:22But your friend Mercedes, she shot Tony.
17:27What?
17:28Now, you've got questions.
17:29I'll kill her.
17:30See, I'd try a more slow-working prescription.
17:35Hey, if you were sure about this.
17:37Trust me.
17:39I'll get her hooked on those pills.
17:40You dial up the guilt day by day.
17:42We'll both get what we want.
17:45Mercedes in ruins.
17:57Why on earth did you run off like that?
17:59You had no idea how scared I was.
18:00Aaron.
18:02Sorry.
18:04I wasn't going to hurt myself or anything.
18:06I just couldn't.
18:08Yeah, I understand.
18:11Thank you, Sally.
18:13Yeah.
18:14I won't forget this.
18:15It's just my job.
18:18Is it okay if I meet you at home later?
18:20I just want to hang out with Sully for a bit longer.
18:23Yeah.
18:23Yeah, that's fine.
18:27Yeah, Frankie.
18:30I wish I could have stopped JJ from ever hurting you.
18:34Yeah, I wish I could have saved him from himself.
18:39I guess now he can't hurt anyone, can he?
18:43But in future, we deal with things together.
18:46Okay?
18:47As a family.
18:49As a family.
18:53I love you.
18:54I love you.
18:58I love you.
19:01I love you.
19:02I love you.
19:04I love you.
19:05I am really sorry.
19:07Nothing to be sorry about.
19:14So you want to hang out, eh?
19:15Thank you for helping me.
19:17And them.
19:18All right.
19:19What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't?
19:22Boyfriend?
19:23Well, yeah.
19:26That's what this is, right?
19:33I'm arresting you on suspicion of conspiracy to commit the murder of JJ Osborne.
19:39What are you playing at?
19:41You know the rest.
19:45Sully, what have you done?
19:59I don't know where we are going.
20:05Don't worry, son.
20:07Don't regret this.
20:08You're arrested, Sully.
20:10What are you playing at?
20:15Hey, listen.
20:17I am really struggling.
20:20Some Mercedes shot to me.
20:21Well, I just stay quiet.
20:23This.
20:24If you want to destroy her like I do, keep it secret and keep her close.
20:32Right.
20:33Come on.
20:34Let's get you cleaned up and get James back in your life, yeah?
20:37You've got a meeting with social services, remember?
20:41I'm not going.
20:45You reported your suspicions about DC Sullivan.
20:48I said do a basic troll for evidence.
20:50Not make an arrest.
20:52Look.
20:54I interviewed the prisoner they suspect of JJ's murder.
20:57He gave me more than enough to bring Sully in.
20:58What, this the same prisoner who's just put in a harassment complaint?
21:02Well, someone's obviously got to him.
21:03Well, tell that to the local chief constable, because he's blowing up my phone.
21:06Because now, they'll never find the truth of what happened.
21:10D.I. Clark.
21:13Did you know Savage was planning an arrest?
21:15No, I didn't.
21:17And if I did, I'd have stopped him.
21:19For his own sake.
21:20For my own sake.
21:21Don't wind me up, Don.
21:21Look, given your recent traumas, you think you might be getting over-emotional.
21:31You know what I think?
21:32Is that there's criminality going on within the team at this station, and it's happening right under your nose.
21:37It looks like you're trying to get thrown off the force.
21:40Don't tempt me.
21:50Well, I've already told you I'm not going to the meeting.
21:53Just forget about the meeting, okay?
21:55Let's just fix your hangover.
21:56Well, I think it's going to take a bit more than that, don't you?
22:00In fact, John Paul, why don't you go and get me some more pills?
22:05Please?
22:06That's not a very good idea, is it?
22:08Look, come on, drink this.
22:09No, I don't want it!
22:10Steve, if you just stand firm and let these feelings pass, you're going to be all right.
22:14I'm going to be all right, Mum.
22:16And what do you know, Dylan?
22:19Nothing, because you're just a little kid.
22:22Well, you're wrong.
22:23I know exactly what you're going through.
22:25Remember what you used to tell me?
22:28You can control these cravings with time and support from the right people.
22:33Well, you should listen to him, Steve.
22:34Talks a lot of sense for a little kid.
22:37That's Matthew.
22:39Look, give me a call if you need anything, okay?
22:41I've got to take this.
22:47So the school's closed because of some plumbing problem.
22:50Honest.
22:51Oh, well, at least we get to spend some time together, right?
22:54Right.
22:55What are you doing?
22:56Oh, it's our family.
22:57I'm making a Christmas card.
22:59Oh, it's lovely.
23:00Where's Dodger Tory?
23:02Oh, yeah.
23:04Remember what you said yesterday?
23:07Hey.
23:08Sorry, I've got my wallet.
23:11Do you want coffee?
23:12No, I can't stay.
23:13I've got to get back.
23:14Yeah, but you're always at work.
23:15Yeah.
23:16And when you're not at work, you're in your own head.
23:18You need to spend some time with your family.
23:20Oh, come on, Dodger.
23:21You barely speak to any of us anymore.
23:23We miss you.
23:27And you.
23:28Me.
23:29Look, I know that you need to devote a lot of your time
23:31to Cleo right now.
23:32But this family needs you too.
23:33Come on, it needs you both.
23:35So please,
23:37can we spend some quality time as a family?
23:39Come on.
23:40I've got an idea.
23:46Got your messages?
23:47They let you out, then?
23:48Of course.
23:50Well, are you innocent?
23:52Hey, Frankie.
23:54I heard about JJ.
23:56I just want to say I'm really sorry.
24:00Okay, now.
24:03I told you that I wanted JJ out of my life.
24:06And now he is.
24:07Did you make that happen?
24:09Are you seriously asking?
24:10Just tell me the truth.
24:11Did my brother?
24:14My twin?
24:17Die because of you?
24:21Yes.
24:27I can sort myself out.
24:32I know that line.
24:34All right, I know all the lines.
24:37It's not a line, Dylan.
24:40When you help me get clean,
24:43I learn not to be proud.
24:46That's what got me sober.
24:49So, Steve, please don't be proud now.
24:53You need help.
24:55Just accept it.
24:58But I don't deserve it, do I?
25:04I don't deserve anyone to help me.
25:08I really don't deserve it.
25:17I never meant it to go that far.
25:19I just said to give JJ warnings
25:21so he'd stop hassling you.
25:22But when they went for him,
25:23things got out of hand.
25:24Out of hand?
25:26My brother died
25:27because of what I told you.
25:29I was right yesterday.
25:30This is my fault.
25:31You made it my fault.
25:33No, no, it really isn't.
25:34You did want him to leave you alone.
25:36And I only wanted to help you,
25:37to protect you.
25:38So I made this happen.
25:40You can't blame yourself.
25:42The way it is behind bars,
25:43something like this
25:43would have happened to him
25:44sooner or later.
25:45Yeah, but it happened now.
25:46Because of you.
25:47It's what anyone would do
25:49when they've fallen for someone.
25:50Is it?
25:51And how do you know
25:52that you've fallen for me?
25:53You don't even know me.
25:53I do know you.
25:55I know you're brave,
25:57kind,
25:58strong,
25:59and you're reckless.
26:01Defensive.
26:02No, you're a mess.
26:04And so am I.
26:05And so is everyone
26:06who's been through
26:07tough stuff like we have.
26:08So yeah,
26:08I do know you.
26:10And I want you.
26:12I want you and me
26:13to be a mess together.
26:15Don't you?
26:17But I can't forgive you.
26:18Yeah, I can't forgive myself
26:19for how wrong I went.
26:21But we can get past this.
26:23Because you know me too.
26:25But you know
26:25I'm not a bad person.
26:27I was just raised by criminals
26:28and sometimes
26:29I fall back on old habits
26:30like with JJ.
26:32I am so sorry.
26:36And if this means
26:37I lose you
26:37it will kill me.
26:40But it's your call.
26:54Do you know
26:55that baubles
26:56originally came from Germany
26:57and they were always
26:58made of glass?
26:59Oh, that's amazing.
27:02I was actually telling Tori
27:04but...
27:05Did you and Dodger
27:05paint baubles together
27:06when you were little?
27:07Um, no.
27:09Actually we didn't
27:10because we grew up apart.
27:12That's sad.
27:13It is sad.
27:14But at least
27:15have each other now.
27:16Yeah.
27:17Yeah, we do.
27:19Hmm.
27:20Do you remember
27:21when Dad
27:21painted his baubles
27:23one year
27:23to look like
27:23his hairy bum?
27:26Honestly.
27:26He thought it was
27:27the funniest thing ever.
27:28So did we,
27:29to be fair.
27:31Why do you never smile?
27:34Tori,
27:35that's, um...
27:38Well, actually
27:39it's a really good question.
27:40He should be happy.
27:41He has us.
27:43Yeah, he does.
27:44And everyone thinks
27:45he's a hero.
27:46He catches
27:47all the criminals.
27:51Right, this has been
27:51really fun, Tori.
27:52And I'll paint
27:53some more with you
27:53later, okay?
27:54But I've got to go.
27:55What?
27:55Where?
27:57I've got to catch
27:58some criminals.
28:12I've got so much
28:13on my plate
28:13right now
28:14with Warren
28:14and...
28:17No one's
28:18had it as rough
28:18as you.
28:21Sorry,
28:21I didn't mean
28:22for this to be
28:22a pity party.
28:24I came here
28:26to tell you.
28:28What, Mercedes?
28:29I had no idea
28:30you were visiting today.
28:31I wasn't gonna, um...
28:32I would pass in
28:33so I thought
28:33I'd come in
28:34and say hi.
28:35Well, you're just
28:35in time for the good news.
28:36You aced all your tests
28:38so in the next day
28:39or two
28:39you can go home.
28:41So soon?
28:42A day or two?
28:43But we haven't
28:44discussed the care plan.
28:45Well,
28:46with the right support
28:46from family and friends.
28:52Yeah, if you,
28:53mum,
28:53you're over
28:54at a prison record
28:54then I can have a look.
28:56Right, cheers, Andre.
28:57No way
28:58you're still working
28:58on the JJ case.
29:00I thought you cared
29:01about your job.
29:02I care about getting justice.
29:03For JJ?
29:04A criminal?
29:05Justice for Frankie,
29:06a survivor.
29:08And me.
29:09And how does
29:10getting fired
29:11help you or Frankie?
29:13Cos that's where you're
29:14heading if you don't
29:14rein it in.
29:15Do you mind?
29:16Look, I mean it.
29:18You're gonna ruin
29:18everything you've got here.
29:20I mean, your boss
29:21is on the war path.
29:22Your colleagues
29:23think you're in it
29:24just for yourself.
29:26And I can only imagine
29:27what Sully's saying about you.
29:28Oh, let him say
29:29what he likes, Don.
29:30I don't care.
29:31He's guilty.
29:32Maybe he is.
29:33Maybe he isn't.
29:35But you need to
29:35pick your bowels
29:37and keep your emotions
29:38under control.
29:39Like you did with Griff.
29:42I can't keep my head down
29:44and watch the guilty
29:45get away with murder.
29:46Is that a threat?
29:51I ain't letting things
29:52slide anymore.
29:58Just leave me alone, Dylan.
29:59I don't deserve your help.
30:00I'm not doing this for you.
30:01I'm doing it for James.
30:02He needs you in his life.
30:03He shouldn't have to put up
30:04with me.
30:05I just want to forget everything.
30:08Steve, you're a great dad.
30:09And this meeting,
30:10it could be the start
30:11of having James
30:12in your life again.
30:13How is it even possible, Dylan?
30:16Everybody thinks
30:16I've hit Lucas.
30:17By being honest
30:18with social services.
30:19You want me to be honest
30:20about all that?
30:20Yeah.
30:26I've already told them
30:27what an awesome guy
30:27and I do all.
30:28But they're just going
30:28to take one look at me
30:29and just laugh in me face
30:31and all they will.
30:31No, that's rubbish.
30:34You just need to shut up
30:36those voices in your head
30:37telling you that
30:37you're not good enough.
30:39And listen to what
30:40I'm telling you.
30:42That you're a kind person
30:45with a beautiful soul
30:48and someone who has
30:49so much love
30:49to give James.
30:54Also, you need a new shirt
30:55and a tie
30:57and a shower, actually.
30:58Well, that's just rude.
31:03Promise me you'll
31:04go to that meeting.
31:07Okay.
31:24I didn't know this care plan
31:25involved Mercedes
31:26being in our home.
31:27Mercedes helping you
31:28care for Tony.
31:29It's perfect.
31:30What?
31:31Right, she's in there
31:32with my husband.
31:33The man she slept with
31:34almost had a baby with
31:35and shot.
31:36I should just
31:37do you need it.
31:38With what evidence?
31:39Trust me.
31:40This way, she's in your life.
31:41She's in your home.
31:42You can observe her,
31:43guilt trip her,
31:44while I'm drugging her
31:45up to the gills.
31:47Before you know it,
31:48her whole world
31:48will come crashing down.
31:50So please, Diane,
31:51just be patient.
31:55How'd things go
31:56with Frankie?
31:57Ah, not great.
31:59I'm hoping she'll
32:00stay on side.
32:02But I did tell her
32:02JJ died because of me.
32:06Why'd you do that,
32:07soft boy?
32:07Because I like her.
32:08I wanted to trust me.
32:10I'm not thick.
32:11I didn't tell her everything.
32:12I just said that
32:13it was a warning
32:13gone too far.
32:14If she's freaking out
32:15over an accidental death,
32:17what'd she do
32:18if she found out
32:18you had him murdered?
32:21Really?
32:21She should be grateful.
32:23We did Frankie
32:24and the world a favour.
32:28You should be grateful too.
32:32You sort them out
32:33good and proper,
32:33like I asked.
32:34And I shut up
32:36our favourite
32:36homicidal jailbird
32:38after he almost squealed
32:39to dodge you.
32:40Thing is, though,
32:42I should never have had to.
32:44You should have kept
32:46your copper mate in line.
32:47I've been trying.
32:49Try harder.
32:50make sure this
32:51doesn't explode
32:52in our faces.
32:53That means no more questions.
32:56No more coppers
32:57coming after us.
32:59Rating you can do that?
33:01I know I can.
33:06Oh, for goodness sake.
33:07Don't flip out.
33:08This is the last of my stuff.
33:10You settling in OK?
33:12Well, the bathroom
33:13looks like a crime scene
33:14after Dylan's used it.
33:15And Misbah's cooking
33:16leaves a lot to be desired.
33:18Like the taste, texture,
33:19nutritional value.
33:20Hey.
33:21But it's all good.
33:22Donnie, you said
33:23you weren't home for lunch.
33:25Oh, the man changes mind.
33:27I just meant
33:28I'd have made you
33:29a sandwich if I'd known.
33:30Lucky escape.
33:31I'm sorry, babe.
33:34I've just had
33:34a stressful shift.
33:37But, um,
33:39you could help me relax.
33:42I've got to be
33:42at the hospital
33:43in ten minutes.
33:45I could relax fast.
33:47Don't be like that.
33:48Oh, come on, miss.
33:50I've just told you
33:51I've had a stressful shift.
33:51And you can't keep
33:52bringing your work stresses
33:54into our home.
33:56So whoever
33:56or whatever
33:57is making you
33:58this miserable,
34:01deal with it.
34:08Hey, Frankie.
34:10You OK?
34:12Everything looked
34:12pretty intense
34:13before with Sully.
34:16How you feeling now?
34:17Just the same.
34:19Have you seen Dylan?
34:20I sent him a text
34:21but I haven't heard anything.
34:22You need to give up on him.
34:23No.
34:24Like, yesterday
34:25we got everything
34:25back on track again.
34:26And he's so upset
34:27I got on my dad
34:28and he just...
34:28That doesn't mean
34:29that he wants
34:29to get back with you, though.
34:30But Dylan's my person.
34:32Do you know what I mean?
34:33You know, I know
34:33he wants the best for me
34:34and he still cares about me
34:35even when he lets me down.
34:37And he's trying
34:38to just forget about him.
34:41I can't.
34:43Got to fight for him.
35:02I just heard the suit
35:05were letting rip in the lens.
35:06Maybe you should arrest him
35:07for a breach of peace.
35:08I know you had something
35:09to do with Jojo's death.
35:11You ain't gonna ban it
35:11your way out of this one.
35:13Roger, please.
35:14I ain't not me.
35:17I told you
35:19arresting a fellow officer
35:20of running his mouth off.
35:22He's losing it.
35:24He needs something out.
35:25What does that mean?
35:26It means teaching him a lesson.
35:28And it means you
35:29having my back on this
35:30like I had your back
35:31about Griff.
35:33If we don't deal with this
35:36we'll all pay the price.
35:48You about to run your mouth
35:49off to social services
35:50are you?
35:50How do you know that?
35:52Well, so you are.
35:53Do you want me to go
35:53to prison again or something?
35:54Of course I don't.
35:55I'm not gonna tell him
35:55about you, am I?
35:56Are you lying?
35:57I'm not.
35:57I swear.
35:59Yes, I am gonna tell him
36:00the truth.
36:00What?
36:01About me relapsing.
36:03And all the challenges
36:04that I've got in my life.
36:05If I'm honest with him
36:06I might have a chance
36:07of getting James back.
36:09I'm not gonna tell him
36:10about you, am I?
36:10I wouldn't.
36:12I promise.
36:15Good.
36:18You shouldn't even be
36:18trying to get James back.
36:21Why?
36:24How would it go on yesterday
36:25if James was here?
36:26What do you mean?
36:28I mean
36:30if he hadn't been
36:30taken out of your life
36:31you could have had
36:32a serious accident.
36:34Maybe it's a good thing
36:35he isn't here right now.
36:37I mean
36:38look how you messed up
36:39with me.
36:43You're not exactly
36:44a great dad.
37:07What do you mean by
37:13you're right?
37:14I'm giving you a night call to tell you I'm...
37:18Hey, you look a bit more chipper.
37:20What, sure, I don't go for cure?
37:22Probably because I had a break from you.
37:25These were out on the step.
37:26I assume they're from Warren trying to win you back.
37:30What if he thinks some poxy flowers is going to fix this?
37:33I'm going to tell you something you don't want to hear.
37:42I'm going to show you where it's dumped, but I know for you.
37:54Something about you...
37:56I'll get your message after the time.
37:58Hey, Sully.
38:00Can you call me back when you get this, please?
38:04I've been thinking.
38:05I've been thinking, and I'm not going to tell anyone about what you did.
38:23What?
38:26Yeah, it was messed up.
38:28But I know you care about me.
38:30What's going on?
38:32Do it.
38:34And I care about you, too.
38:37Because you do have a good heart.
38:43No.
38:46No, come on, please.
38:49No, no.
38:51No.
39:16No, no.
39:18Hilarious.
39:25Looks like we're caring for James for the foreseeable.
39:36I've missed us.
39:49Hey, it's Dylan. Leave a message.
39:52Hey, haven't heard about the social services meeting.
39:55But me and the dog got one. Maybe a cause for an early celebration.
39:59Now that Dad could finally see James again.
40:02See ya.
40:17No! Theresa!
40:20Any need for all that?
40:28You could face me when you batted me, Don.
40:31What's different today?
40:32It was a message.
40:35Don't ask fellow officers.
40:37I squeal about Griff.
40:38It's all he knows and he's keeping quiet.
40:40Oh, this is Sally's doing, is it?
40:43You march into his orders now.
40:45You need to knock him down your loose cannon.
40:47You know I wouldn't have crossed about the murder you committed.
40:50You won't know.
40:53This ain't you, mate.
40:55What's happened?
40:58I looked up to you.
41:00Who even are you?
41:02Donny? Mick? Someone else?
41:05What if I told the super about you serving up a beating?
41:11This thing won't believe you.
41:13He already thinks you've got issues.
41:15Anything else, he'll put you on leave.
41:20You're a coward.
41:22In that bent Sally's pocket.
41:24And I swear if you lay one more finger on me.
41:27Let's just move on.
41:30You should be my ally, Don.
41:32You're my enemy.
41:34After witnessing what Griff did to me.
41:37You humiliate me into submission.
41:40You're as sick as he is, mate.
41:50You're as sick as he is, mate.
41:52Lesson understood?
41:55Just gotta keep quiet.
41:59Teamwork.
42:06Hey!
42:08Misbah said you didn't make it to the hearing.
42:10Cause I can't be trusted around James, can I?
42:12Everyone's right about me.
42:14Have you been drinking?
42:15Yep.
42:15And I'm about to go and buy some more right now.
42:17What happened?
42:18I thought you'd sober up.
42:20I did.
42:21And then guess what?
42:22Somebody left some booze at mine and what did I do?
42:25I drank it.
42:28Okay, well, that was yesterday.
42:30Today's a clean sleep.
42:31No, it's too late.
42:32Still don't get off me.
42:34No!
42:34No, James needs you in his life.
42:35Just as much as you need him.
42:36What, do you not wanna see him anymore?
42:37Yeah, of course I do.
42:39You know that I do.
42:41Okay.
42:43Well, if you stay off the drink today,
42:45I'll get James.
42:47I'll bring him to the park.
42:48We can meet in secret.
42:50What, you'd really do that for me?
42:52I'm not letting you give up, Steve.
42:56I say one o'clock.
42:57Okay, one o'clock.
42:59Let me go and sort myself out then.
43:01Then I'll...
43:01And I'll meet you.
43:02One o'clock.
43:10Hey, haven't heard about the social services meeting,
43:12but me and the dog at one,
43:13maybe he calls for an early celebration,
43:14but Dad could finally see James again.
43:16All right, see ya.
43:23So, are you ready?
43:26James' first Santa visit?
43:28When did I say it?
43:29It's been on the family calendar for a month.
43:32We can get the bus,
43:33do some Christmas shopping first.
43:35You're Muslim?
43:36He's not.
43:36Oh, come on!
43:38Anyone would think you had something more important to do.
43:41Hmm.
43:44You are not smart enough to double-cross Warren.
43:46I mean, I have to explain the plot of Ben and Holly to you.
43:49Even the Marias get that.
43:50Where is Warren?
43:52He's gone.
43:53Sniffing around Mercedes again.
43:54We all told him to do one.
43:55United Front.
43:56And he was accusing me of blackmailing Merce.
44:00And did ya?
44:01No, I did not.
44:02There's been so much going on
44:04since you have been getting chased by Interpol.
44:06Interpol, T.
44:07What were you thinking?
44:08And how are you skinned when you've got diamonds?
44:11Well, I met this fit guy at a club.
44:14And he was a fireman.
44:16And he had a donkey sanctuary.
44:18You got conned.
44:20I thought I'd impress him by showing him my diamond stash.
44:23And then he took him.
44:24My God, T.
44:26Warren's gonna kill me if he finds out I'm back.
44:28And I'm desperate to see my girls.
44:30Yeah, well, I've been looking after him.
44:32And they're fine.
44:32You're welcome.
44:33Go and let yourself in.
44:35Keep yourself in.
44:36And we'll figure this out as a family.
44:40Hey, T.
44:41So, where did you find them diamonds then?
44:43And how did you smuggle them?
44:45Don't ask.
44:47Dodger saved my bacon.
44:48Before you go all rom-com.
44:50Ask him about Cleo.
45:05Hey, it's Dylan.
45:06Leave a message.
45:07Hey, Dylan.
45:09I know that you're busy today, but...
45:11I really do need to see you.
45:14Please.
45:22Don't freak out.
45:23He's just me.
45:25T.
45:27What are you doing here?
45:28I came to find you.
45:30I wanted to say thank you for helping me.
45:32It's fine.
45:33You don't need to worry.
45:33I made the Interpol thing go away.
45:35It means everything to me that you did.
45:38I haven't stopped thinking about you.
45:41And I heard about you and Cleo and...
45:44all that mess that you two are...
45:45There was no me and Cleo.
45:47It was nothing.
45:50Complicated.
45:51Always is with you, isn't it?
45:56I'm not the person I was, T.
45:58Maybe not.
45:59No, but you're still you.
46:01I...
46:02Theresa, you and me, we were a lifetime ago.
46:04It's okay.
46:05I get it.
46:05No!
46:06You don't get it.
46:07I've moved on and you're still the same stupid Blancat you always were.
46:10Go on.
46:23It's your Grandad.
46:26I haven't had a drink.
46:28I knew you would.
46:29And I got him the present.
46:32James.
46:33Hello, little tiger.
46:34Are you coming to me?
46:36Hey.
46:37Hey, I've missed you so much.
46:39I know, I know.
46:40I'm here.
46:41I'm here.
46:42Hey, how's she talking?
46:43Coming along?
46:45Can you say Grandad yet?
46:47Why should we try?
46:47Say Grandad.
46:50You know, we should make this a regular thing.
46:52In secret, until you're allowed access.
46:57Not so secret now, is it?
47:09We don't want to hear us, do we?
47:12We don't want to draw attention to ourselves.
47:15Do what you think's best.
47:19Hi, Frankie.
47:21Hey.
47:23Just doing the funeral arrangements.
47:26Look, you don't have to get involved, okay?
47:28You know, whatever you want to do is okay with me.
47:31You're allowed to grieve.
47:38I love you so much.
47:40I love you too, Dad.
47:44You're going to have some girl time with Vicky then, yeah?
47:46Yeah.
47:47Good.
47:48Love you, Grandad.
47:49Love you, Flanky.
47:50Be careful.
47:55I just spite everything.
47:58I'm just not ready to say goodbye to my little boy.
48:01Go ahead, Darren.
48:02Come on, son.
48:03Come on.
48:04Come on.
48:08I don't know why you're so angry about Stacey and James.
48:10Because he's not fit.
48:11He didn't go to his hearing.
48:13I thought you didn't know what the outcome was.
48:15I-I bumped into Miss Ben and she told me.
48:17Look.
48:18I know that I've been weak.
48:20Yeah?
48:21And what's stopping your next bender?
48:22You were the one who left the alcohol at mine.
48:24You did what?
48:25Did you leave it intentionally?
48:26No, why would I do that?
48:27Well, I don't know.
48:28Why would you let your dad take the fall for all your lies?
48:30You-you've caused all of this.
48:31Dylan, he's fine.
48:33I've had a chance to see me grandson, but...
48:35I'll just go.
48:37No, Steve.
48:38Don't let him bully you anymore.
48:39Oi, why can't you accept that I'm annoyed at the secrecy?
48:41Right, you keep lying to me saying he has someone to come up.
48:43This was one chance for Steve to see the baby.
48:47You put my dad over me.
48:49This is in James' interest too.
48:51Whatever.
48:53Alright, Lucas, I'm sorry.
48:55Okay, look, this has all been underhand.
48:57Why don't I see if I can take James home?
48:59And then we can hang out like we were supposed to, yeah?
49:02Yeah?
49:03Okay.
49:04Alright, let me just see if I can get someone to mind, James.
49:11MISPA calling.
49:14MISPA calling.
49:15MISPA calling.
49:17MISPA calling.
49:20MISPA calling.
49:21MISPA calling.
49:22Is that a cloning app?
49:23Are you spying on me?
49:28You don't have to go to the funeral.
49:30No-one's expecting you to be there.
49:31I just really need this to be over now.
49:34I know.
49:34No.
49:35No.
49:39Hey.
49:41I got your voicemail.
49:43Thanks for being so understanding.
49:46About what?
49:49Um...
49:50Sully talked some sense into me after I freaked out about JJ.
49:53I saw your dad earlier.
49:54Seemed moody.
49:56Have done okay at home?
49:57Yeah, I think it's just a bit crowded.
50:00You know, with James crying through the night and Gemma singing in the shower at the crack of dawn.
50:06Anyway, speak to your dad.
50:08I know you'll feel better after and if you need me then you know where I am.
50:12Thanks.
50:18Something happened?
50:19Yeah, the funeral home called and we need to decide what we want to do with JJ's body.
50:25I don't want to pay any respects.
50:27But my dad's in pieces and...
50:29Delta Vector 2-9, Nation Road.
50:32Yeah, got it.
50:34Look, I'll, er, deal with this and then when you meet me at the folly where it's peaceful, we can
50:40talk about it.
50:41Yeah.
50:51My whole life is on here.
50:54Calls, texts, personal photos, private thoughts.
50:57How do I delete this?
50:58Stop, let me do it for you.
50:59Why would I trust that?
51:01My phone!
51:02What are you doing?
51:04This stalker behaviour is completely unacceptable. How could you do that?
51:08I just wanted to be close to you.
51:09Do you know how unhinged that sounds?
51:10My mind, I haven't been thinking straight since the operation.
51:12You know right if I'm wrong.
51:13Try not to argue in front of James.
51:15This is a new law, Lucas.
51:17All I have done is try to protect you and keep you out of trouble at my own cost.
51:21And now you're targeting him.
51:22This is so twisted.
51:24Like ruining his reputation wasn't bad enough.
51:26Leela made the statement, not me!
51:28Because of your lies!
51:30How long is it going to take Steve to clear his name?
51:33How long until James is fully back in his life?
51:37You are selfish and sick.
51:50You might want to swerve me as well.
51:53We wouldn't want people to think you're at risk of harm, would we?
51:59Yeah.
51:59Me and Dylan took James to see Santa.
52:02He cried and filled his naffy.
52:05Yeah.
52:05What about James?
52:07Miss Blair, for you, to say thank you for giving me a place to stay.
52:11I really appreciate it.
52:14They're gorgeous.
52:18You've been raised well.
52:20Oh.
52:20I am.
52:21That makes two of us.
52:23Do you want to help me with my wardrobe?
52:24I'm going to sort some stuff out.
52:26There might be some bits that you'll like.
52:27Oh.
52:27Yeah, come on then.
52:28I quite like having a new sister.
52:35You were so quiet when you got in last night.
52:40Just work stuff.
52:41It's fine.
52:43But it's bothering you.
52:46I come home to forget about work, miss.
52:52Why won't you open up to me?
52:55Don't you want to earn back my trust?
52:58Yeah.
53:00You're the last person I want to upset.
53:03You do not love you, don't you?
53:06I don't, actually.
53:10I just started to feel that we were, we're, you're already shutting me out.
53:18What?
53:20Hey.
53:20Come here.
53:25No.
53:38I was going to ignore your texts.
53:40I'm surprised you think I can read after calling me a stupid pun.
53:43T, T.
53:43Listen, I'm sorry.
53:44I'm so sorry.
53:45What I said, I didn't mean it.
53:46It was horrible.
53:46I'm just, I'm having a really rough night.
53:48What is so bad?
53:49I'm thinking of leaving the fulsome moving away.
53:51You can't do that.
53:52What about Maripole Gontas?
53:53I'm no use to her.
53:54I'm barely functioning.
53:55She deserves a dad who's actually present.
53:57So you're just going to disappear?
53:58T, I don't want any of this either, alright?
53:59I just think it's going to be better for my health, you know?
54:01No, I don't know.
54:03What has happened here?
54:08There are some lads, right, down at the station and they've just been laying in to me.
54:11There's no one there I can trust.
54:13So say something.
54:14I ain't going to do that, alright?
54:15It won't work.
54:16It's just going to make things worse and I've been through enough abuse.
54:20Abuse.
54:23I think your dad will respect you staying away from JJ's funeral.
54:27Yeah, but it shouldn't be public knowledge.
54:30My dad should have the chance to go and say goodbye to JJ in private without being judged.
54:35It's time to look forward.
54:38Well, I'm...
54:40I'm looking forward right now.
54:44So, I'm part of this bright new future?
54:48On this brand new journey together.
54:50And in a couple of days time, JJ will be out my life forever.
54:55Come on.
55:11I can't let you run away.
55:14You're told I was going to follow you until you start healing.
55:19Then come with me.
55:21I can't.
55:23I know, but my family's here.
55:26This is my home.
55:29Let me protect you.
55:31What, for my own brain, T?
55:33Thoughts racing at 3am, reliving the attack, wondering what I could have done differently.
55:37It's not your fault!
55:38I'm feeling sick every time I walk into the station, every time I get radioed.
55:41I know.
55:42You can't change that.
55:43But you do have a choice.
55:45You can let whatever bad thing happen ruin your life and your happiness.
55:51Or you can choose to be with people who love you.
55:55Precious little family.
55:57It's all that matters.
56:01Mum!
56:03Girls!
56:04I'm back from my holly bobs!
56:07Dad!
56:08Hey, my little princess.
56:10Oh, I've missed you so much, bud.
56:13Listen, I'm so sorry I've not been around as much as I should.
56:16Where have you been?
56:17He's been fighting the bad guys.
56:18Keeping us all safe.
56:21All right, Dad?
56:22All right, gorgeous girl.
56:23Seeing as she's your favourite and it hurts my feelings, can I have some money to go with
56:28to town?
56:29I didn't know you took rives.
56:35Later losers!
56:37Are you staying for tea?
56:39Please!
56:41Well?
56:42What do you think?
56:45I think you're the opposite of stupid.
57:05OK.
57:08There we go.
57:10Wow!
57:11All that excitement.
57:13I've seen Santa on Grand Last Day.
57:15He's got you wiped off.
57:20And we can forget about that silly Lucas.
57:31No matter who you were or where you've been, he is watching from the screen.
57:36Keeps a keen eye on the in-between, from the people to the Queen.
57:44He won't let the city know top three more.
58:06What are you doing?
58:08Here are your faces.
