00:00Music
00:18Good night, Rude.
00:20You're not asleep.
00:24What?
00:28Rubey?
00:30What?
00:42Oh, no.
00:44Rubey.
00:47No.
00:49I don't need a coffee.
00:51You don't have to drink it.
00:53What I need is for someone to listen.
00:54Why is everybody around here so slow?
00:56I don't need a coffee.
01:00Interview continues with Rubey Milligan at 0740 hours, June 3rd, 2025.
01:06So, after that first night, the one that you've previously described, did your father ever abuse
01:16you again?
01:17Repeatedly, from when I was 14 until I was 16.
01:20And have you ever tried to hurt your father, Anthony Fox, before?
01:24No.
01:25I left home and never saw him again.
01:28Until he just turned up.
01:30No warning.
01:31Was anyone else aware of his past behaviour towards you, the alleged abuse?
01:36I told my mother.
01:37Okay.
01:38And your mother is...
01:40Dead.
01:42She didn't believe me anyway.
01:43Why didn't she believe you?
01:47Well, if she was alive, you could ask her.
01:49Why do wives not believe their husbands' accusers?
01:52Hmm.
01:54And what about your husband did you tell him?
01:56Only recently.
01:58But he knows nothing, nothing, about what I did.
02:05What?
02:08I think we'll take another break.
02:10Why?
02:10We've only just started.
02:11What did she say?
02:12Your solicitor is on his way.
02:15I told you, I don't want a solicitor.
02:16I don't need a solicitor.
02:19Why aren't you listening to me?
02:36Hmm.
02:40Hmm.
02:42Probably with a load of geriatrics.
02:47I know.
02:49It makes no sense.
02:51Hmm.
02:54Nothing makes any sense.
02:58I don't remember you finding me.
03:01I don't remember the ambulance.
03:05You know, because you were a spark out.
03:11That was it.
03:14Stop worrying.
03:15Jacob will be here soon.
03:17I woke up about half four.
03:27She wasn't here.
03:28She's with the police now, talking.
03:31She thinks she's protecting us, don't she?
03:33I don't care what she thinks, Caleb.
03:35We had an agreement.
03:37We had a plan.
03:38We all sat round here and we discussed it.
03:40Oh, my God.
03:40I've got a solicitor on his way there.
03:42Well, God, it's a solicitor.
03:44It's a confession.
03:45His husband's going to need the solicitors.
03:46I don't believe this.
03:47What does Cain say?
03:48Right, just let me get on top of it, will you?
03:50No, I'm calling him.
03:51No, no.
03:53Ruby's my wife.
03:54The solicitor's trying to work out a plan on the way.
03:58It's not going to be easy, because she's confessed before they've identified the body.
04:02I filled him in about their history, so I don't know.
04:06What, maybe self-defence?
04:07It doesn't sound like you're on top of this at all, Caleb.
04:09It sounds like you're clutching at straws.
04:15Right, you just keep it together.
04:16Mr. Milligan, I was hoping I might be able to ask you a few questions.
04:27Yeah.
04:28Uh, come on.
04:35Morning.
04:37Hey.
04:38I'm going to have to get you a cue cut if you're going to be this early.
04:41Thanks.
04:41I could get used to his treatment.
04:43Okay, so I was working last night, just looking at some ideas and projections based on what
04:47we talked about.
04:49Yeah, sounds great.
04:51And one more thing.
04:52I've got a loan approved by the bank.
04:54I want to pay my own way.
04:56Show Clemmie you can be a mum and stand on your own two feet.
04:59This is going to be really good for both of us.
05:13Uh, hi.
05:19Where's mum?
05:22Your mum's fine.
05:23Uh, well, then why are these guys here?
05:27Has there, what, has there been an accident?
05:28No, no.
05:29Nobody's had an accident.
05:30Hello, Steph.
05:30Yeah, I'm DC Cole.
05:31And I'm just here to make some enquiries.
05:34About what?
05:36Tell her, Caleb.
05:36Well, I, as you know, your mum, um, well, she hasn't been herself for a little while.
05:48She's not been herself.
05:49Listen, Steph, we're as confused as you are, but, um, this is going to come as a bit of
05:53a shock to you.
05:55A couple of hours ago, your mum went to the police station and she told them that she'd killed
06:02your granddad.
06:03What?
06:03It's okay, try not to get too worked up.
06:05We have no idea why she'd say something like that, but we're all just trying to get to
06:10the bottom of it.
06:11Uh, granddad's dead.
06:13No!
06:13As far as we know, as far, as far as we ever know, your granddad's totally fine.
06:18Well, then, why, why would she say something like that?
06:22Steph, you filed a missing persons report for your granddad a little while ago.
06:27Is it okay that I ask you a couple of questions about that?
06:29Mm-hmm.
06:33I'm moving them in again.
06:54I don't need a solicitor.
06:55Well, your husband thinks you do, and I'm inclined to agree.
07:00It was self-defense.
07:02You believed your life was in danger.
07:05You were in a highly emotional state triggered by traumatic memories of historical abuse.
07:10Caleb told you.
07:11Most importantly, no comment is your friend.
07:16Have they offered you a psychological assessment?
07:19I think you're joking.
07:20Her mental capacity is perfectly intact.
07:22Thank you very much.
07:23We've no reason to believe Mrs. Milligan's rational understanding of her situation is in question.
07:27And yet, here she is confessing to the murder of a family member, whom we have absolutely
07:31no reason to believe isn't alive and well.
07:33But has been reported missing, sir.
07:35And goes missing frequently.
07:36So, unless you want to spend a few months answering questions from your professional standards
07:41department, I would advise that you halt this interview immediately.
07:45I'd like to continue.
07:50Yeah, I stopped looking as soon as I was convinced he was fine, that he just decided to leave the
07:54village.
07:56Anyway, what's going to happen with Mum?
07:58Sorry, who convinced you with that, that it was fine?
08:01Can you remember who said that?
08:02Yeah, the police said that there was no evidence that anything had happened to him, but they'd
08:08just keep the investigation open anyway.
08:11And yeah, I knew he'd done this before, and then he called me from Spain, so...
08:17So, what, you spoke to him when?
08:20Well, that was a few months ago, I can't remember exactly.
08:22Yeah, he said he was okay.
08:24But you didn't think to inform the police?
08:26Well, I just assumed you would have dropped it by then.
08:29And you were close to your granddad, yeah?
08:30Is there anything else you want to tell me?
08:37Like what?
08:40Look, are we done?
08:42I mean, as you can imagine, I need to try and make some kind of sense of this, and I'm worried
08:48about my wife.
08:49Do you know what would really help is if we could locate your father-in-law, have a word
08:54with him, confirm that he's okay, and then we can put all of this to bed.
08:58Yeah, sure.
08:58Well, I'll, I'll see what I can do.
09:11Oh, glove up, you're on chillies.
09:13Dad.
09:15Oh, I thought you were married.
09:18Why aren't you in school?
09:19I was, I've come home, again.
09:25It's your exam.
09:25When's your exam?
09:27Now.
09:28What, what are you doing in there, Paul?
09:29I can't do it, Dad.
09:31Can't do what?
09:32The exam.
09:32I can't do the exam.
09:34Yes, you can.
09:34Right, right, let's, let's get you in a taxi and I'll phone your head teacher.
09:37No, I'll phone your head teacher first, then we'll get you in a taxi.
09:39Dad, stop it, please!
09:40What are you talking about?
09:41You could do this.
09:42I can't.
09:43I really can't.
09:50You're lucky.
09:52Do I look lucky?
09:54Do you know if I had one of these?
09:55I would soup it right up and there'd be a button, you'd press it and it would just catapult you to your feet in the morning.
10:02Not funny.
10:05Cheeky.
10:05Please, get me out of here.
10:09Have you rang Brenda?
10:12I'll speak to them about discharging you and explain you've got support at home.
10:15Well, I think that's what they've left this for.
10:19Left right?
10:21This is about home help.
10:24Nothing to do with me.
10:26Must have been left by the last person.
10:30Eric, do you not think this was a bit of a warning sign?
10:33It has nothing to do with Parkinson's.
10:36It could have happened to anyone.
10:38Exactly.
10:39Which is why it could happen again.
10:41What would you have done if I hadn't come back when I did?
10:44What if it wasn't just your wrist?
10:46What if it was your neck?
10:49So when you agreed to meet your father, Anthony Fox, by the lake, as you say,
10:54what was your intention?
10:56I suggest no comment.
10:58I was to be sure he'd never come back.
11:00I mean, I wanted to confront him and make sure he left and was gone from our lives.
11:11No one else knew that I was meeting him.
11:14We were alone.
11:15And he became violent.
11:19In what way?
11:21He slapped me.
11:21And it made me feel...
11:26It made me feel bad.
11:30Bad?
11:32Like when I was a teenager.
11:34That feeling again.
11:37Pressure on my chest like I couldn't breathe.
11:41And it took me by surprise.
11:47Feeling like that.
11:48So I wanted it to stop.
11:50So I pushed him.
11:53And he lost his footing and he hit his head.
11:56He hit his head very hard.
11:59What's going on?
12:00What's that about?
12:01For the benefit of the tape, my colleague has informed me of a development.
12:10What is it?
12:12There's a problem.
12:14The body we pulled out of the lake, it's not Anthony Fox.
12:20So the question is, what exactly are you doing here, Ruby Milligan?
12:26It was like shapes on a paper, right?
12:50And the more I looked at it, the worse it got.
12:52And my heart was pounding and I couldn't breathe properly.
12:56It's a shock.
12:57Still?
12:58Yes.
12:59I said to Ross, I just couldn't get it.
13:02I knew I wouldn't have all the answers, Dad, but I couldn't even understand the questions.
13:06It's a stress. It's making you shut down.
13:08I'm sorry.
13:09No, no.
13:10I'm sorry, April. I'll talk to the school.
13:12And tell them what?
13:14That I can't do my GCSEs because I can't handle stress?
13:16You won't be the first person to have exam issues.
13:21I just feel like I've given up before I've even begun.
13:25Hey.
13:26Look at me. Look at me.
13:28Be kind to yourself. It's only an exam.
13:30Only a GCSE?
13:31Yes. Only a GCSE. Compared to your health, you've been through so much.
13:37So much. And it's going to take time to heal.
13:39So I'll call, okay?
13:41They're going to have some ideas. There's going to be a way to sort it.
13:46Don't get too comfy. There's chillies to chop.
13:47There we go. Just five more teeny tiny steps. Teeny tiny...
13:56Oh, Jacob. Make her stop. She's watering.
14:00The place is a mess.
14:02Yeah, sorry. I didn't think to tidy up for the paramedic.
14:04It's a trip hazard.
14:05Let me find him in the remote.
14:07Might be better off sleeping.
14:08Oh, excuse me. I am still breathing.
14:12You still haven't told me what actually happened.
14:14My fault. You tripped off on one of my slingbacks.
14:17A shoe?
14:19You left a shoe lying around?
14:21Yeah. Grandad's been covering for me.
14:23Right, okay.
14:24Well, that's just typical, isn't it?
14:25You know, I probably should have realised it'd be something like this.
14:28Jacob!
14:28What?
14:29I knew her living here would be a bad idea.
14:30You could have killed him.
14:31Could have!
14:32Could have!
14:34Leave her alone!
14:35God!
14:36You're fussing and jabbering around and making me want to throw myself down the stairs!
14:42I'm going to go and make you a bed.
14:54Jacob.
14:58She made that up.
15:00About the shoes.
15:02Why?
15:03To save my embarrassment, probably.
15:06I fell because I was exhausted. It won't happen again.
15:10I was thinking on the way back.
15:12How about I move in here with you?
15:17We'd kill each other!
15:18I wouldn't kill you.
15:19Oh, well, I wouldn't make that similar promise.
15:26Don't look at me like that.
15:27I'm just thinking about what we'll do next.
15:31I think we'll just wait and see what the solicitor comes back with.
15:33It feels like we're only just here agreeing to a plan.
15:35It didn't involve going to the police.
15:37You know, we could get done for this.
15:38Haven't you got where to go to?
15:39We'll call you if we hear anything.
15:41I'm not going anywhere.
15:42I need to know how we're going to fix this.
15:50Busy building your empire.
15:53Are you mocking me?
15:54No.
15:55Well, you're right.
15:58It does feel different working for yourself, for your family.
16:01Still waiting, by the way.
16:03Sort code, account number, and you are up and running.
16:08Ah, yeah.
16:09Look, I've thought about it, and thank you.
16:12But no.
16:13No.
16:14I've had a loan approved from the bank.
16:17An interest-free loan?
16:20I don't mind paying a bit of interest.
16:22Yeah, okay.
16:22I'm hearing the words, but they don't make sense.
16:26I don't want you to give me money.
16:29I wasn't going to give you money.
16:30It was a loan.
16:32Just like the one you had approved,
16:33but without any of the pointless burden of interest.
16:36It's not pointless to me, okay?
16:37I don't want help from you, from anyone.
16:40I want to prove I can do this myself.
16:42It's easier without interest.
16:45Yes, maybe, but the way I see it,
16:46the cost of the interest is the cost of my independence.
16:50So I don't mind paying it.
16:52Okay.
16:53I like that.
16:55Yeah.
16:56I like this version of you.
16:57I like every version of you.
17:00You don't know every version.
17:02Yeah, but I like this one in particular.
17:08Are you going to let me work?
17:09I don't know.
17:10I think it's important to take breaks every now and then.
17:12I think you need to concentrate on your recovery.
17:16What are you doing now?
17:17Um, building my empire.
17:28Mate, you don't want a blanket?
17:33Maybe you should get back to work.
17:35You'll be in trouble.
17:36It's the afternoon.
17:38There's no point.
17:39Anyway, I won't be in trouble,
17:40because I've told Jay what happened.
17:42Oh.
17:44Might as well have told the world.
17:47Terrific.
17:48Caleb's not turned up, apparently.
17:51Right, have you had a chance to look at this leaflet?
17:53Eric.
17:54Eric.
17:58Carrie, all I want is just some peace and quiet.
18:07There is, uh...
18:08There is something that, um...
18:12Nothing.
18:18Sorry.
18:19Just nothing.
18:20Nothing.
18:21Right, suit yourself.
18:22Can you make friends you two, please?
18:24How's your afternoon been?
18:31Luckily, I don't have the use of my hands,
18:35so she remains unthrottled.
18:38Sorry.
18:41Sorry about earlier.
18:43Yeah, so am I.
18:44There is something that I'm not happy with asking Carrie to help me with.
18:56Why?
18:56What is it?
18:59Please don't ask me to say it.
19:03The loo.
19:07Sorry.
19:08Don't be.
19:09Come on.
19:11Oh, we're coming in now.
19:11He's had enough fresh air.
19:13Hi, Eric's the boss.
19:14Ready?
19:15We are.
19:18Oh, ah!
19:21Good.
19:25Be careful.
19:42Hiya, yeah.
19:43I would, uh, I'd just like some information, please.
19:47Yeah.
19:47For home help.
19:48For an elderly gentleman.
19:50Yeah.
20:03Yeah.
20:03Hang on.
20:07What?
20:07Stop.
20:08Just say that again.
20:09I'll put it on. Walls have ears.
20:16Hello?
20:18I don't know. I don't understand what's going on. They're not telling us much.
20:23I'm still under arrest. He's told me not to stay anymore.
20:27It's like a nightmare. I'm so sorry, Caleb. I'm so sorry.
20:35We'll be in touch when we know more.
20:38Okay. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Speak soon. Bye.
20:44We'll say something.
20:46It's not him.
20:47Who?
20:48The body in the lake. It's not Anthony.
20:51You what?
20:52But it is a body. They've found a body.
20:54Yeah, apparently.
20:55This is really weird. I can't work out if it's a good thing or not, but...
21:00Well, who is it then in the lake?
21:01Who cares who it is?
21:03Well, no body, no murder.
21:05Are you serious? You think that's what they're thinking down at the station? There's also no Anthony either.
21:11So I'll tell you what there is. A totally pointless confession.
21:14Look, I am trying to think now. You are not helping. She's dropped us all in it for nothing.
21:18Steph told them that he'd been in touch.
21:21Which means they'll keep coming back until they hear from him.
21:25Right, I don't know what to say.
21:26Well, Missing isn't dead.
21:27Thanks, Miss Marple.
21:28Right, maybe you need to go outside and cool down.
21:30No, he's right though.
21:31She's still confessed to her murder. How do we come back from this?
21:37Oh, God, Ruby.
21:41What have you done?
21:43Not drunk your tea?
22:05Tea's cold.
22:06Might as well take it away.
22:10I can get you something else.
22:11No, thank you.
22:13You've got a drink.
22:14You'll get dehydrated.
22:16Well, at least I won't have to be escorted to the lavatory.
22:21I thought we got over that.
22:23You may have.
22:25It's not you that's suffering the indignity.
22:28Sorry.
22:30It's not nice for you either. Sorry.
22:34Early shift done.
22:36Although I want to throttle Jay.
22:38Told him I wanted to get back to you because of the accident
22:40and he made us work even later.
22:42Well, at least you're home.
22:45You can now relieve boy wonder here of his caring duties.
22:50Got an online lecture at 12.
22:52Can I help you get showered and dressed first?
22:54No need to.
22:56Don't look at me.
22:57I'm happy to clean your house, but I don't want to go anywhere near your watsits.
23:02I wouldn't let you anywhere near them anyway.
23:07Hey, listen.
23:09Look, if you would prefer it was a stranger, then why don't you think about this home help agency?
23:17You can brandish their leaflet all day long. I am not interested manhandling me poking around my home and my back is turned.
23:30They're not crooks. They're vetted professionals.
23:32Jakey, I don't want them here.
23:37Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to wash and dress!
23:45Alone.
23:46Right, we'll get her out of there then. That's what I'm paying you for.
23:56I don't care how you do it. Just make sure that it works.
23:59Okay, I'll speak to you later. Bye.
24:01There's a solicitor. He's about to join Ruby.
24:04The police want to carry on the interview.
24:06Well, they won't stop now.
24:08Well, they still need evidence, don't they?
24:10There's no body. She needs to just hold her nerve.
24:13After two days in custody, she's probably terrified.
24:15Yeah, they'll see that in her. They'll keep wearing her down until she cracks.
24:17If this is all my fault, I should have never reported her missing all these months ago.
24:21And what if they question me again, figure out that I've actually lied about him calling from Spain?
24:25You need to get your act together.
24:26All right, take it easy. She's trying her best.
24:29If we give the police another inch, we're all gonna get done for this.
24:31Oh, is that what you think? Come on, we need to do something, guys. Get her out of there.
24:35Look, Steph, where are you going?
24:37Look, I need something.
24:41Right. The solicitor, um...
24:45Oh, he's got a plan.
24:47Right, Al. This Ruby's only hope.
24:51We need them to be convinced you're mentally unwell.
24:54You can't differentiate fantasy and reality.
24:56What if they don't believe me?
24:58They know the body isn't your father's.
25:00You've told them it is.
25:02If you remain convinced, then they'll believe you're delusional.
25:06But I've told them I'm fine.
25:07You're not fine.
25:09Whatever you told them yesterday, now's the time to undo it.
25:12You gave them a false statement because of childhood trauma.
25:15Don't implicate yourself any further.
25:18You need to start unravelling.
25:22Mrs. Milligan, sorry to keep you.
25:25Okay, so let's pick up where we left off yesterday.
25:34Hey!
25:44Is there any chance that you could bake me two dozen cupcakes for a christening pie later?
25:49I did have someone order, but the bakers let me down last minute.
25:51Oh, I've got much choice to have her.
25:53Yeah, I'm sorry to spring it on you.
25:54And it's a girl, so just pink, pretty.
25:57You alright?
26:00It's April.
26:02She walked out of her GCSE exam yesterday, reckon she's messed them all up.
26:05I'm sorry.
26:06They've offered her extra help, but she'll not see the point in studying anymore.
26:08She's given up.
26:10I know what that's like.
26:12When I left the detention centre school, it was the last thing I cared about.
26:15I ended up sitting my exams a year later.
26:17They let you do that?
26:18Yeah.
26:19I had to get my head straight first, but I got there in the end.
26:21See, this is what April needs to hear.
26:22She's only thinking about...
26:23No, she's not thinking about the bigger picture.
26:25I feel like if she leaves school with no qualifications, she might regret it.
26:28That's exactly what I'm worried about.
26:29Do you know what?
26:30I'm going to call them again.
26:31See what our options are.
26:32I've got to do something.
26:33It could affect her whole future.
26:34Have you seen today's courier?
26:37I'm more of a Financial Times and Telegraph man myself.
26:41That body they found in the lake where the girls all died.
26:45Still unidentified, apparently.
26:48Nothing to do with you, of course.
26:51This time.
26:56Oh.
26:57What's happened to that mother of yours?
26:59I've had her order bagged up for three days now.
27:01She's not collected it.
27:03Yeah, I'll let him know.
27:05Well, she hasn't paid for it either, so you can settle up now if you want.
27:17Rude.
27:23It's already on record that, in my view, my client needs a full psychiatric assessment.
27:28Until that is granted, this interview needs to stop.
27:30It's not me that needs my head tested, it's her.
27:33I know that it's my father's body that you found in the lake, and I know that because that is exactly where I left him, dead.
27:40It wasn't him, Ruby.
27:42We've checked dental records.
27:44It's irrefutable.
27:45It's irrefutable.
27:46This is some kind of game.
27:47To undermine me like she did.
27:49Who did?
27:50My mother.
27:51Twisting things, making me feel like I was lying when I was the one telling the truth.
27:54And are you lying now?
27:55No.
27:56I told you.
27:57I pushed him, and he fell, and he hit his head by accident.
28:01We've searched the lakeside and the lake.
28:03Your father's body isn't there.
28:05Well, it was!
28:07So your dental records must be wrong!
28:09My client is clearly extremely confused and distressed.
28:13Either that, or she's doing an excellent job at pretending.
28:19People don't just walk in and confess to murder for no reason.
28:22What I want to know is, how did he end up in the water?
28:25Someone your size?
28:28Dragging a grown man on their own?
28:30Who helped you do it?
28:32No one.
28:33I was alone.
28:34I told you.
28:35Ah, you've told me a lot of things.
28:37I want the truth.
28:40If you're covering for someone, I want to know who.
28:45Where did you really dispose of your father's body, Ruby?
28:50It's Sarah Sugden.
28:52Yeah, so I've had an email from Dr. Knapp about the payment for my IVF treatment.
28:56It says you need it all up front.
28:59Right, so no payment instalments then?
29:01No, it's not a problem.
29:03I was just checking my options, that's all.
29:15You grabbing lunch?
29:17Well, I'm not here to change a tyre, am I?
29:20Do you mind if I join you?
29:21I'll shout you if you like.
29:22I reckon I owe you one.
29:23For what?
29:24Snogging Jacob?
29:25No, for still counting you as a mate, despite all of that.
29:28Look, you're not still avoiding me, are you?
29:30You definitely went up for chatting the other day.
29:32I told you, I was busy.
29:33That's all.
29:34Nothing personal.
29:35I do miss you, you know.
29:36And the fun we used to have.
29:39I get it.
29:40After a bit of cami-bye action, are we?
29:42That is not what I said.
29:43You didn't have to, babe.
29:44Look at me.
29:45What a red bully woman can resist.
29:54How's he getting on?
29:55God knows.
29:56Took his clothes in, but he's locked the bathroom door now.
29:59Well, you kind of blame him for wanting his privacy.
30:01You know, he's a proud man.
30:03He's gonna need a shower at some point.
30:06And a shave.
30:07He'll have to let me help him again.
30:08Jacob.
30:09You're his grandson.
30:10He doesn't want you seeing what nature gave him.
30:14He's still got boundaries.
30:17So, this home help service.
30:21I know he told me not to, but I rang him yesterday.
30:24I mean, they literally do everything.
30:27Washing, dressing, housework.
30:29I mean, it sounds great.
30:31You won't go for it, though.
30:32He's too stubborn.
30:33Jacob.
30:34I'll be there in a sec.
30:42Grandad?
30:46You're no fantasist.
30:49You know exactly where your father's body is
30:51and who helped you dispose of him.
30:53So, drop the act.
30:55And tell me which lake it was.
30:56This one.
30:57Near Roblesfield, where you found him.
30:59I'm getting tired of this.
31:00It wasn't your father's body.
31:02Don't gaslight me.
31:03My father, my mother, you.
31:05You think you can all twist things.
31:07I remember me, on my own, dragging him into the water.
31:11Which water?
31:13D'Arblay Reservoir.
31:17Foxholes watered.
31:18They're both within a five-mile radius.
31:20I can organize a diving team to search both.
31:23Why?
31:24When he's already in the morgue?
31:25For God's sake!
31:26Not yet, but we can search every lake in the area,
31:28if we have to, and we will find him.
31:43It appears your father's been found.
31:53What?
31:54How?
31:55He's in Spain.
31:56Someone must have contacted him.
31:58He's made himself known to the authorities in Malaga.
32:02.
32:04.
32:08.
32:16.
32:16.
32:17You've wasted police time, Mrs. Milligan.
32:37Given the trauma you suffered, I'm prepared to let it go this time.
32:41My client appreciates it.
32:43Listen, whatever's been triggered here, I strongly recommend you seek psychiatric help, get some support.
32:51And if you want to pursue historic abuse charges against your father, I can help with that.
32:55No, thank you. That won't be necessary.
32:57You sure?
32:59Okay, well, if you change your mind, you know where to find me.
33:07Timely, the news of your father from Spain.
33:10No one's more shocked than I am.
33:11Can I give you a lift home?
33:14No, thanks. I'll make my own way.
33:17You take care.
33:24They let you out, then.
33:26What are you doing here?
33:28I heard about your predicament.
33:31Thought I'd shed some light on your father turning up in Spain.
33:34Is he alive?
33:37How?
33:39He can't come back here.
33:40Please.
33:41It's okay.
33:43I'll explain on the way.
33:48Oh, right, listen.
33:49Um...
33:50Okay, please don't be angry.
33:53Right?
33:53I phoned the school again and I spoke to Miss Cathcart.
33:56Why?
33:57No, I'm not doing any more exams.
33:58I've already told you I'll just fail all of them.
34:00And look, that's how you're feeling now.
34:01I just want you to try and find a different way in case you change your mind.
34:04What different way?
34:05It's an exceptional case, April.
34:08The school, they want to help.
34:11So, you can take the rest of this term off.
34:14Just think of it...
34:16Think of it as delayed maternity leave.
34:18Okay?
34:19And then you go back in September and redo the whole of year 11.
34:23If you want to, that is.
34:24Nobody's trying to force you.
34:26What, with the kids here younger?
34:28They can't all be bad.
34:29You're bound to make friends with a few of them.
34:31It'd be weird, though.
34:32Only at first.
34:33And, you know, it'll give you a chance to catch up, ready for next year's GCSEs.
34:38But what if I'm not ready by next year?
34:40You just need time, darling.
34:43You'll get there with the right support.
34:45You're worth too much to give up now.
34:46You're smart and clever.
34:48You can do this.
34:49Just believe in yourself, love.
34:51Okay.
34:52Okay, I'll give it a go, I suppose.
34:55So, that's a yes?
34:57Oh, thank you.
34:59Marlon, the chopping and changing.
35:01Okay, we've got five vegetarian, one vegan.
35:03Blimey, I'd better be final this time.
35:05Oh, no.
35:06You okay?
35:07Your dad told me that you're leaving school.
35:10Er, no, I was gonna, but I'm gonna just go back in September and redo year 11.
35:15That is amazing.
35:16And you're not gonna regret it, cos I did the exact same thing.
35:18Plus, she gets an extended summer holiday, so...
35:20Yeah.
35:21I need to start looking for a job now.
35:22Maybe I could do with a hand and take a vow.
35:26And I could actually give you a trial today if you want.
35:28Dawn's at a wedding fair and I need help with this christening party.
35:31Yeah, I'd be up for that.
35:33You know, so long as you're not overdoing it.
35:35No, no, no, it's a couple of hours.
35:36I promise you I will not work too hard.
35:38Okay, black skirt, white top, and I will meet you here in half an hour.
35:41Hey, the solicitor called.
35:52I was just about to go and get you.
35:54Oh, God, you okay?
35:56Yeah, well.
35:57What's he doing here?
35:58Er, look, don't freak out.
35:59Just let me explain.
36:00Oh, Mum.
36:01Thank God.
36:04Well, come on, then.
36:05What's going on?
36:07Um, he did this.
36:10He.
36:11Got me released.
36:13He used a contact in Spain to forge Anthony's passport.
36:18And then this person handed themselves in to the Spanish authorities
36:22who contacted the police over here
36:24who now think that Anthony is over there and alive.
36:29And they bought it?
36:30Yeah.
36:32Well, hang on.
36:34How did you know that Ruby was with the police?
36:37Er, I, I told him.
36:40I found her in the shop, having a panic attack.
36:45I assumed that it was about Anthony.
36:47She didn't give it up easy, but when she did, I admitted what I knew.
36:51And?
36:52She corrected me.
36:53It wasn't you after all.
36:57Steph told me about Ruby and her confession, and then she asked for my help.
37:01Look, I was desperate.
37:02I had to trust that he'd come through for us.
37:04Which he has, above and beyond.
37:05Your secret's safe with me, Caleb.
37:08It better be.
37:09I owe you.
37:10After what I took.
37:14It wasn't right of me.
37:16But I needed to survive.
37:18And I told you before, you and I aren't so different.
37:21We do what we need to do for ourselves and for our families.
37:25And that's what we are.
37:28Family.
37:31He has saved us.
37:34With the police thinking that Anthony is alive, it's changed everything.
37:37Are we good?
37:53Go on, then.
37:54You still haven't told me about this good, clean fun that you're missing.
37:57Well, I never exactly said it was good or clean.
38:00Hmm.
38:01Now you're talking.
38:02I just mean, you know, maybe doing some things that we probably shouldn't be.
38:06Robin, you mean.
38:07Well, if you put it like that, then, yeah.
38:08It was just fun and exciting, you know, and a quick way of making cash.
38:12Hmm.
38:13So that's what you're after.
38:16Money.
38:17Look, if I tell you something, promise you won't blab.
38:20You know me.
38:20I'm good at keeping secrets.
38:22I want to go travelling.
38:24You know, Asia, Europe, Australia.
38:26Just a big adventure while I'm still healthy enough to enjoy it.
38:30Hmm.
38:31I mean, I can't blame you for that.
38:33But if my gran finds out, then she'll try and stop me from going.
38:35So I need to get the ticket spot first, and then it's a done deal.
38:38How much do you need?
38:40Six grand, for starters.
38:42Look, flights aren't cheap, Cammy.
38:44Please.
38:44I just need a way of making money quick.
38:46I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
38:48Maybe you just got lucky.
38:54Go on, then.
38:56Say it.
38:57I know you're dying to.
38:59Say what?
39:00I told you so.
39:03You said I wouldn't manage and you were right.
39:05Accepting help doesn't mean you're weak.
39:07It's better than putting yourself in danger.
39:09Ah, Tiki, you do not realise it is a slippery slope.
39:15The more I depend on people, the more reliant I become.
39:19And that is not who I am.
39:22I know, but things change, Eric.
39:25People get older.
39:28Jacob's right, you need help.
39:30We can't be here 24-7.
39:31We've both got jobs.
39:33I can still move in with you and Carrie for a while.
39:36I don't mind.
39:37I told you that yesterday.
39:39I cannot rely on either of you.
39:42You have your own lives to lead.
39:44Right, well, then pay a professional.
39:48I've already spoken to the agency.
39:51They're willing to take you on.
39:52They just want to assess you first.
39:57Got it.
39:59All sewn up, haven't you?
40:01We're just trying to help you.
40:02Help is not what I need, Jakey.
40:05It is independence.
40:08Without it, my life is as good as over.
40:12It's not over.
40:14All you need to do is recover, that's all.
40:17If you do all this on your own,
40:21you could end up back in hospital.
40:26Okay.
40:27I'm loathe to admit it, but...
40:30What choice do I have?
40:33So, yes.
40:35Much as it pains me,
40:37I will pay...
40:40for a home help.
40:49Joe Tate?
40:50Yeah, nothing to do with me.
40:53Staff saw him before and asked for his help.
40:55Bit of a gamble.
40:56Yeah, well, at least it paid off.
40:57Look, it wasn't premeditated, but I was desperate.
40:59And if the police now think Anthony's still alive,
41:02we can breathe again.
41:03We're free.
41:04So that's it then, no more follow-ups?
41:07Well, they asked if I wanted to pursue
41:09historic abuse charges, but I said no.
41:12Well, we're out of it now.
41:14What have they found in that lay?
41:15It's got nothing to do with us.
41:17It's a fresh start for all of us.
41:18Right.
41:19Time for a drink then, eh?
41:20Well, there's a do on,
41:21but we can always drink in the back.
41:22Don't get away, we'll go as long as he's playing.
41:24Aye?
41:31Someone scrubbed it well?
41:32Got to look the part.
41:33Listen, if it gets too much,
41:35you need to tell me, okay?
41:36I don't want you pushing yourself.
41:38Dad, I'll be fine.
41:38Don't worry about me.
41:42I actually cannot believe this.
41:44Oh!
41:44So, obviously the baker let me down,
41:46then the guy I booked
41:47to actually film the christenin
41:48has found sick.
41:50Susie got this for a take of an hour
41:51and I am going to have to try
41:52figure out how to use it.
41:54Well, we've used one like that
41:56in media class.
41:57It's not that hard.
41:57Really?
41:58Yeah, I could film if you like.
42:00I've done it before.
42:00Yes.
42:01Perfect.
42:02Okay, you focus on
42:03the parents with the baby.
42:04The dad's fine.
42:05Mum is a massive mana.
42:07They're here.
42:08You practice, I'll greet.
42:10Hi!
42:11Lovely to see you.
42:12Do you want to grab a drink?
42:15Alex, how is the proud father?
42:17Yeah, better when I get a drink down me.
42:19That is such a cute dress.
42:21You look gorgeous.
42:22Do you want to grab a drink?
42:24Mm-mm.
42:27Hi.
42:27Hi.
42:31Why am I so wasted?
42:33I'm busted.
42:33I'm absolutely busted.
42:34Go behind them bins.
42:35No, I hear you.
42:36I go on him.
42:37Him?
42:37You need your eyes testing me.
42:38Oh, he's a little girl.
42:40How old are you, little girl?
42:42Yeah, do you fancy a drink?
42:45Oh, don't go.
42:49Here.
42:50Fancy her?
42:50You said a quick fine with her, yeah?
42:51I'm sure you can't stay for one more.
42:58I'll get back tomorrow.
42:59She's stressed about the fine with this slurry leak.
43:02At least that's all I'm dealing with now.
43:04No more dead people stressing us out.
43:07We'll work it out.
43:09We always do, as dingles.
43:11I'll tell you what, though.
43:13This family's had enough grief to last us a lifetime.
43:21Mrs. Robinson?
43:30Yeah?
43:32Has something happened?
43:33I think it's best if we go inside.
