00:14I
00:29didn't know there'd been an accident. I just saw him swerve. Jimmy. Sorry, not Jimmy. A car, that was him.
00:38And obviously I know now, but I thought nothing had happened.
00:43And I was answering a phone call, not making one, you know, that makes a... I know it's not better,
00:49okay, but I was just... I was excited about getting engaged.
00:53Oh, I understand. I do. Having been engaged. Myself. Only my fiancé was killed.
01:07Look, do we need whatever this is? Do you want to think the kids are not setting off?
01:14Billy, I'd like to introduce you to the driver of the other car, the one that made Jimmy swerve. And
01:19well, you know the rest.
01:22Billy was on the phone.
01:26And then the cake, it just went right into her lap, the whole thing. And I thought, you know what,
01:30she's mad at me for reasons I won't go into, but I thought I was going to get slapped.
01:33And then she just didn't, though. She just turned around and started laughing. We all did. But you know what,
01:39that was Dawn. No matter how hard things got, she'd always push through, you know.
01:45Oh, nice one, Gabby.
01:47Thanks. Anyway, I should get off.
01:50Do you want for Jimmy?
01:52What? Right now?
01:54Go on.
01:56Um, I wouldn't know what to say.
01:59About your uncle?
02:00Oh, come on.
02:02No, honestly, um, why don't you tell us all how he died?
02:07And how you knew all about who caused the accident, but didn't say a word.
02:12What's this?
02:12Is this true?
02:14Yeah, it is, but I wouldn't get on your high horse just yet.
02:18Vinnie was the other driver.
02:21And guess what he was doing?
02:28Do you have any idea what you've done?
02:30Yeah.
02:31No, you don't, because there's a kid in hospital and there's three of us upstairs, devastated.
02:36You should take him out there. He should explain himself.
02:38I will.
02:39No, no, you're going nowhere near. You've done enough damage.
02:41And you've left it this long. Why?
02:43I was scared.
02:45I didn't know at the start, OK, but when I found out, I was scared.
02:48Vinnie's been busy.
02:50On the phone, planning his engagement, right?
02:53You're planning your engagement? On the phone, while you're driving?
02:56It wasn't like that, OK?
02:58Gabby called when she told me to turn it off when she found out I was driving.
03:00But I'd bought a ring, right?
03:03He's been so excited. He's been so excited, haven't you, Vinnie?
03:07So excited that he had to be on that phone call.
03:09If it wasn't for him, Dawn would still be here.
03:14So instead, everyone else's lies get turned upside down!
03:31OK, I don't know what this is, but I do know it's over.
03:35He was on the phone.
03:39He made Jimmy swerve.
03:42Get a wet towel.
03:45Kids to see to.
03:56Can you stand?
04:07Are you going to tell anyone about this?
04:10No, no.
04:12Correct answer.
04:24No, no, I'm not having this.
04:26Who's been spreading me around, eh?
04:28You?
04:28I don't know who she's told, but Vinnie told me.
04:31Does anyone else know about this? Am I the only one who doesn't?
04:34No, I had no idea.
04:35Of course not, though.
04:37Not me.
04:37I think you wouldn't do that.
04:39What, admit it?
04:40Or cause the crash?
04:41Because you'd be right on the first count.
04:42It took him weeks.
04:43Are we actually sure this is right?
04:45Well, there's been a mistake.
04:46I don't think it has.
04:46But there's been a mistake.
04:47Look, I'm going to call him.
04:48I just told you that your son told me he caused my husband's death.
04:52Now is not the time to call me a liar.
04:54Come on.
04:54Come on.
04:54Come on.
04:56Oh, she's cracked the screen.
04:57Shut up.
04:59We're your family.
05:01Nicola, listen, I really wanted to tell you, but...
05:03What?
05:04Your mouth wouldn't work?
05:05No.
05:05Your brain wouldn't work?
05:06No, Nicola.
05:07Wouldn't be the first time, would it, love?
05:10I mean, you worked out a long time ago how you'd get by in life.
05:13And you've been doing it ever since.
05:14All right.
05:15I'd say your dad would be spinning in his grave.
05:19But he's been spinning over you for years.
05:24Come on.
05:25Sit down.
05:27I'll get you a drink.
05:27No, I don't want a drink.
05:28I'm just going to go home.
05:31I'm sorry, everyone.
05:36What's wrong with Gabby?
05:38It's not really Gabby.
05:41We've got something to tell you about, Vinnie.
05:46I'll sit you down here.
05:48I'll ruin the sofa.
05:52Ruby.
05:56He buried me alive.
06:00Okay.
06:01You're safe now.
06:04That isn't payback, though, is it?
06:07That's obscene, isn't it?
06:09That's like...
06:10the actions of a man, but...
06:13It's not for the first time, is it?
06:16I went to see him.
06:18I know you said don't, but I did.
06:20For the sake of the kids, so they could say goodbye.
06:23I think I just made him angry.
06:25I should have listened to you.
06:26I'm sorry.
06:27What?
06:28No, no, no.
06:29You have got nothing to be sorry for.
06:31This is all on Joe.
06:34Me.
06:36Go.
06:58Did you know?
07:10Listen, er...
07:12Will you be okay if I nip out for a bit?
07:17I do.
07:26What he has just done to you is beyond anything.
07:30So he's going to get it.
07:33He was angry, Caleb.
07:35He hasn't seen angry.
07:37Something we did indirectly led to the death of the person he loved.
07:42Well, something he did nearly led directly to the death of the person that I love.
07:46So when does it end?
07:47The cycle of revenge.
07:48What?
07:49You want me to just leave it?
07:51What about what we did to Dawn?
07:54We did not kill Dawn.
07:58If Joe, right, wasn't how he is...
08:01Oh, if Joe wasn't how he is.
08:02If Dawn had never met him.
08:03If you go down that route, you can reverse engineer it to make it Dawn's mother's fault for giving birth
08:08to her.
08:08A woman has died.
08:10A mum of four kids.
08:13And we didn't drive the car.
08:14And we didn't plan anything bad to happen to her.
08:17But we used her.
08:20For what?
08:21This has gone too far.
08:23It needs to stop.
08:26I'm going for a bath.
08:27What are you going to do?
08:30Nothing.
08:32Apparently.
08:56Only me.
09:00He's not at ease.
09:01No, he's not answering.
09:02And this thing's on the blink thanks to Nicola.
09:04Nicola's not the one in the wrong.
09:05You don't go thrashing phones out of people's hands.
09:07Maybe you do.
09:08If your husband's been killed and you've just found out how.
09:11All right.
09:13So you're on their side.
09:15Who's they?
09:16I'm on your side always.
09:17But we have to accept...
09:18No, I'm not accepting anything, Paddy.
09:20Until I spoke to Vinny.
09:21Now move.
09:21I'm going to Sprat Yard.
09:30He's my boyfriend, but I'm...
09:34I'm not going to defend him.
09:39I know something was wrong.
09:42He was being off.
09:43And I thought it had something to do with the proposal.
09:47Not the proposal.
09:48So you don't need to heal this.
09:52You proposed.
09:55And then he turned me down.
09:59I thought he was bailing on us, but...
10:01I guess it had something to do with this.
10:04Then I was feeling all woe is me.
10:06And, you know...
10:07My little selfish woman...
10:09I didn't know all of this was lurking in the background.
10:12You couldn't have guessed.
10:14No, I just...
10:16Just felt a bit betrayed.
10:19I feel like I've lost Jimmy all over again.
10:23And I've nowhere near dealt with the first time.
10:27You're Sadie turning up.
10:29And the thing with the money.
10:32And when do I get to grieve my husband?
10:45Come on.
10:47You get off.
10:49No, I'm...
10:50I'm fine.
10:51So am I.
10:52Well, I'm not by a long way, but...
10:55I should have probably made the kids some tea.
11:06I'm really sorry.
11:08You've nothing to be sorry for.
11:12Nothing.
11:28Hello, emergency service operator.
11:31Which service do you require?
11:32Fire, police, or ambulance?
11:34Police, please.
11:36Police, please.
11:38Police, please.
11:40Police, please.
11:40Police, please.
11:41Police, please.
11:42Police, please.
11:53I've just come to lock up.
11:54What are you doing?
11:56Apart from trying to think of a convincing lie.
11:59And what's with the state of you?
12:03Do you know what happened today?
12:06Yeah.
12:07Yeah, it was Dawn's funeral.
12:09Well, yeah.
12:10Except Dawn's not the only person that was put in the ground.
12:15Joel Tate drugged Ruby.
12:18Are you joking me?
12:19Well, he drugged both of us, actually.
12:21But he drugged Ruby.
12:23And he buried her.
12:24He buried her alive.
12:26Nearly killed her.
12:27Oh, my God.
12:28Is she all right?
12:30She will be, but he won't.
12:32And is she in favour of this?
12:34Yeah?
12:36Did I tell you about the time I went up to Joes with a shotgun?
12:41Yeah, he did.
12:42You should have done him.
12:43I know.
12:44Except where would I be now?
12:46Getting weekly visits from my kids.
12:48Oh, my kids don't visit me anyway.
12:51And that's reason to ruin Ruby's life, is it?
12:55Look, I'm not being funny, Moira, but why do you care anyway?
12:59See, the last time I checked, all I was good for was getting you lot expensive solicitors.
13:02Oh, come on.
13:04We're family.
13:06I mean, what did you want?
13:07A car passing round and we all write thanks?
13:10Well, it would have been nice to know what I was funding.
13:11It would have been nice to have been able to.
13:13I mean it.
13:15But some things are on a need-to-know basis, and you know that better than anyone else.
13:20And don't get me wrong, I would love to see Jo Tate get the kind of comeuppance that you don't
13:24come back from.
13:26But do you really think that Ruby's going to forgive you for effectively ruining your life together?
13:33I'll go and buy you that card.
13:35Won't be a minute.
13:45How would you mind if you lose a shoe?
13:47Same as you lose anything.
13:54Here.
13:55What happened to your hand?
13:58Nothing.
13:59It looks like when you used to fight people.
14:01Fighting a mallet this time, holding a fence post for me.
14:04If I ever ask you to hold a fence post, say no.
14:07Or you could just be a better shot.
14:10Go on.
14:11I'll, uh, I'll catch you up in a minute.
14:17Cheers for that.
14:18He's just lost his mother.
14:20He doesn't need to know his father's a thug.
14:23I just found out who was to blame for Don's death.
14:27He found out who one of them was.
14:30What?
14:34Are you leaving soon, by the way?
14:37In a minute.
14:39Kids are just enjoying the garden.
14:41I think they've missed it.
14:42Well, they're going to have to learn to live without it.
14:47I don't want to see you here anymore.
14:49Do you understand?
14:56What did you mean by one of them?
15:00Did you manage to wash Vinny's blood off your hands?
15:04Yeah.
15:07Don's blood won't come off so easy.
15:17Tell me.
15:18Who did this?
15:20How?
15:21You didn't fall.
15:23What happened?
15:23Mum, I've just told you.
15:25I fell.
15:28Because we were told something today.
15:32It's true.
15:33What?
15:35You're driving?
15:37Yeah.
15:39You're on your phone?
15:40Yeah.
15:41Right.
15:42Well, I'm sure it's just a thoughtless few seconds.
15:45Yeah, that's all it took, Paddy.
15:46That's all it takes to kill two innocent people.
15:50And ruin, I don't know how many other people's lives.
15:52Why did you do it?
15:54It just happened, Mum.
15:55And why didn't you say anything?
15:56I wanted to.
15:57No, you didn't.
15:57Oh, you wanted to.
15:58Let all these people suffer for all this time.
16:01Andy, all right.
16:01All right.
16:02Let's just...
16:02No, Paddy, it's not all right.
16:04Is it?
16:05I told myself to suffer even more if they knew the truth.
16:08You know, I told myself you would.
16:10I didn't think you'd get trouble, Mum.
16:18Better go after her.
16:50Well, I'm not sure.
16:52I think I'm not sure.
16:58Hey. Feeling any better?
17:00Where have you been?
17:06I went to Cain's garage to try and find a crowbar.
17:10So I could smash up Joel tape.
17:14You promised me.
17:15Why not literally?
17:18What happened?
17:20Moira turned up and talked me out of it.
17:22So she can but I can't.
17:23The point is I didn't do it Ruby.
17:26You would have though, wouldn't you?
17:29I don't know.
17:32I wanted to.
17:34I still do.
17:38I absolutely hate him.
17:40And how's that gone for you so far?
17:42Shall we ask Jimmy? Shall we ask Dawn?
17:44He literally put you in the ground.
17:45And what are you going to do next?
17:47Fire him from a cannon? Put him through a wood chipper?
17:54Hello.
17:56Hi.
17:57Hey, come on.
18:04What were you most scared of today?
18:06When you found out what happened to me?
18:10Well that you'd die.
18:12That you'd lose me.
18:15You will lose me.
18:17If we carry on like this.
18:19We can't live a life of affronts and reprisals.
18:23It's exhausting and unhealthy.
18:26We're better than this.
18:28You're better than this.
18:34Can I give him dirty looks?
18:36As many as you like.
18:38Can I pay someone to do them in?
18:40No.
18:44I need to hear you say it.
18:49It's over.
18:53I promise.
18:57I know it doesn't hurt any less for them.
19:01I know platitudes are worthless.
19:03But Jo, if I may borrow a phrase from an organisation I know very well.
19:10I promise you we do recover.
19:12I'm not trying to fix a drinking problem.
19:15Okay?
19:16I'm not sad because I've drank all the booze and it's only ten o'clock in the morning.
19:22I'm sad because Dawn was taken from me.
19:25And it was out of my control.
19:28Okay?
19:29I can't recover from that!
19:33So...
19:36What does the future look like?
19:39Bleak.
19:41For everyone involved.
19:44Ruby?
19:46Oh, that was just me getting warmed up.
19:51That isn't even going to make it into the list of greatest hits.
19:55When I'm done with what needs doing.
20:12We're all feeling very sad today.
20:15You said goodbye to your mummy.
20:19But she'd have been so proud of you.
20:23You're a fighter.
20:24Like she was.
20:27No, she spent a lot of time feeling lonely too.
20:34And feeling lost.
20:38But she found herself eventually.
20:41And she found your daddy.
20:45And she became like a daughter to me.
20:49A daughter I never had.
20:53Briefly.
20:54And...
20:56And your daddy isn't here because...
20:59Well...
21:01He's the most sad of all.
21:04And he's feeling lost too.
21:07But he'll find himself again.
21:10And he'll come for you.
21:13And he'll bring you back.
21:15And...
21:15And he will love you.
21:21Sometimes...
21:23We make great big mistakes in life.
21:27And I'm not going to let him do that.
21:30I promise.
21:33That mistake's been made before.
21:36It's been...
21:38It's too big.
22:01It's too big.
