00:00Mercedes. Diane can't find out about this.
00:04Aren't you Mercedes kid?
00:05Jacob, what's going on?
00:07You really love him, don't you?
00:08My son needs you to be his lifeline again,
00:10so tomorrow you're going straight to NA.
00:12You're gonna get sober and be the partner that Lucas deserves.
00:14This is a ballistics report from the crime scene at Banks' murder.
00:17It turns out the gun you handed in wasn't the weapon used to kill him.
00:20So why would you confess to a crime that you didn't commit?
00:30And the feeling go.
00:58I could speak to my superiors about freedom and immunity.
01:04Just admit that you didn't kill Banks.
01:11You haven't told anyone about Bobby, have you?
01:17What are you doing here?
01:18I came to tell Steve that I've got my first son of a meeting today.
01:28Do you know they caught Al Capone?
01:32What's that got to do with me?
01:34You know what I mean? I'm getting to it.
01:36See, Capone was notorious.
01:38Killed people in broad daylight.
01:40Police couldn't get a thing on him.
01:42So they went a different way.
01:45They got him for a crime he couldn't cover up.
01:47Now, Grace and Claire's operation is squeaky clean.
01:52I've got no evidence on their trafficking or money laundering or drugs.
01:57But killing Banks...
01:59See, this is my tax evasion.
02:04I'm the real murderer.
02:05No, you're not.
02:06Why are you covering up for Claire?
02:07I don't even know, Claire.
02:08You tell me the truth and I can get you out of here.
02:09You give me information on her operation and I can get you immunity.
02:25It's that easy.
02:27It's that easy.
02:29I don't know what Claire's got planned for him.
02:33He thinks she's hiding him for his mum.
02:35But if you say anything...
02:37But you didn't come back for me.
02:39You came back because Claire made you.
02:41Oh, hi, guys.
02:43Erm...
02:45Frankie should, erm...
02:47She could be here.
02:49Yeah, it's fine.
02:50He's just leaving.
02:51You're really making enough of it.
02:52Yeah, well, erm...
02:54Pearl and I are off to a...
02:55a wee dinner party.
02:56Well, actually, it's Nibble's at a friend of Pearl's from church.
03:00But rumour has it there's going to be dancing.
03:02And I've been taking the woman I love for granted for too long
03:05and that won't happen again.
03:07Right.
03:08I'd better go and pick out something to wear.
03:12Jacob, don't let Darren catch you here, OK, son?
03:15OK.
03:19I'm sorry, Frankie.
03:21I really did want to see you again.
03:23But you're still under Claire's control,
03:24so this is never going to change.
03:26You can't say anything about this to anyone, OK?
03:29I have to do what Claire says or she'll hurt my mum.
03:32And you know she won't think twice about hurting your family either.
03:37Are you wanting me to keep my mouth shut?
03:40We don't have a choice.
03:44So all you've got to do is make a new statement?
03:46I don't work on getting you out of here.
03:48I'm bringing down Claire Devine.
03:55What are you waiting for?
03:58Once I've filed this, you're out of here.
04:00Don't you deserve that?
04:04I can't.
04:06What do you mean you can't?
04:07This is your chance.
04:09I shot banks.
04:10I deserve to be here.
04:12That's a lie and you know it is.
04:14I'm guessing Claire or Grace did it.
04:17Why are you doing this?
04:19You said you didn't care about Claire.
04:20What about if it ain't about Claire?
04:22Grace?
04:23She's in a coma.
04:24Who knows if she'll wake up?
04:27What about if it ain't about Grace either?
04:30I don't care about your mission of self-sacrifice.
04:33The people responsible are still out there.
04:36And I haven't got a thing on them.
04:37I can't give it to you.
04:38Okay?
04:39I've got nothing left.
04:42You have to just do your job.
04:43This!
04:44This is my job!
04:46Every time my daughter walks through that village,
04:48she has to see that smug, smiling face of Claire Devine
04:51who's still walking the streets because of you!
04:53I can't give it to you, Donny.
04:54Even if I wanted to.
04:56Then more innocent teenagers are gonna get hurt.
05:01Kids like my Vicky.
05:03Frankie.
05:04Dylan.
05:06You were so keen to help back then.
05:08What changed?
05:10You put your life on the line for those kids.
05:14And now what?
05:16You're just gonna sit back and watch her become targets
05:18all over again.
05:22Hang on a second.
05:23Hang on a second.
05:24Who said cherry?
05:25I asked for lemon.
05:27No, no, no, no, no.
05:28You listen to me, okay?
05:29I want you to get that older form in front of you
05:31and call me straight back.
05:35You're rude.
05:36Yeah, well, I'm a little bit stressed, babe,
05:38in case you haven't noticed.
05:39My fiancé's gone away two weeks before our wedding.
05:44What's that?
05:46Bobby's.
05:47Used to be his favourite toy as a kid.
05:50They'll find him, babe.
05:51And then what?
05:52They're charging for another murder,
05:53and he's inside for even longer.
05:56PHONE RINGS
05:59Hello.
06:01Is something going on with you and Tony Hutchinson?
06:04It's meaningless sex.
06:05All right, so I either sit here driving myself up wall,
06:08or I go get a bit.
06:10From Tony?
06:12Bobby killed his sister.
06:14It gets me out of my own head.
06:16And that is what I need right now.
06:18Hey.
06:29How did it go?
06:31Oh, got this.
06:33Get another one if I last thirty days.
06:35It was mostly just people talking about the worst thing they'd ever done.
06:43Did you tell them?
06:47I couldn't.
06:50I didn't say anything.
06:51I just don't get how it's going to help me.
06:57Reliving my trauma.
07:00It just made me feel like doing drugs again.
07:04Lucas.
07:05When I was in,
07:10I know,
07:12there was a guy in there and he said that whenever he felt like that,
07:15he used to meditate.
07:17Said it saved his life.
07:19You know, I mostly didn't say anything because...
07:27I guess there was just one person that I wanted to talk to.
07:34Can we, um...
07:37Yeah.
07:40Thanks, Lee.
07:49I, um...
07:53It's okay.
07:54It's not, though, is it?
07:58I'm sorry.
08:00For everything I put you through.
08:02Look, Dylan, you're the first person I ever fell in love with.
08:05You're not that only person.
08:07I don't want to be that boy you fell in love with.
08:11You still are.
08:15Hey, I, um...
08:17I really want to start again.
08:21Can we do that?
08:37Misty.
08:38I need a word.
08:40It's about Rex.
08:41Oh, hey, Mercedes.
08:46I picked up my new wig this morning.
08:48Real human hair.
08:49Not sure I'll get used to it, though.
08:51Yeah, well, you will do eventually.
08:53Did they find out if Bobby was seen in the village?
08:55According to Donny, he's not around anymore.
08:57Oh.
08:58Wouldn't be surprised if he's halfway to Calais by now.
09:00He's a kid on his own.
09:02So keep your sarky comments to yourself, yeah?
09:03What's happened? What have you done?
09:13It's nothing.
09:16I missed you yesterday.
09:18Sorry.
09:20Lucas needed me.
09:22Is he all right?
09:23You all right?
09:25Yeah.
09:30Donny came to see me.
09:34He told me about the deal that he's offering you.
09:37He wants me to talk you into taking it.
09:40Yeah, well, forget it.
09:43I know you think that there should be someone else sat in instead of me.
09:48I don't anymore.
09:50Well, hold on.
09:51Last time you were telling me that you wanted me to face up to the people that I've hurt.
09:56What's changed?
09:57I've just had time to think about it.
09:59About Dylan, Vicky, Frankie.
10:01You've already messed them up once.
10:03So maybe the right thing to do is for you to stay in here.
10:05Will you wait for me?
10:09I can't do this.
10:11Wait.
10:12Wait, Steve.
10:13I'll call Donny.
10:14I'll tell him I'm not interested in any deal.
10:17I'm the murderer.
10:19They're gonna have to find someone else to bring down Claire Devine.
10:35I know your secret.
10:45What?
10:47You put lemon zest in your risotto.
10:50Oh.
10:52And you're sleeping with my sister.
10:54Listen, John Paul, can we keep this between us?
10:57There's nothing serious and I'd rather Diane didn't find out.
11:00Find out what?
11:02Nothing.
11:04Are you okay?
11:06Yeah.
11:16No word from Rex.
11:18I hope Steve makes some sense.
11:22Hello.
11:23Donny, is that you?
11:24Yeah, who's that?
11:27It's Tom.
11:28Tom?
11:29How come you're calling me from prison?
11:31It's a long story, Donny.
11:32Listen.
11:34I heard you want to take down Claire Devine.
11:36Claire and I have history and know where all the bodies are buried.
11:40Whatever you need, I can give it to you.
11:43Oh, I've got loads of questions.
11:47I've got to go.
11:50Tom.
11:51Oh, Tom. Tom Cunningham.
11:53So it seems.
11:54Why is he ringing you from prison?
11:55He's supposed to be in Spain.
11:58Is he an inmate?
11:59Is he okay?
12:00I don't know.
12:02What he did say was,
12:04he can help me take down Claire Devine.
12:05I've reached out to an old friend, Donny Clark.
12:17He's a detective.
12:19Told him we can get information to him to help and bring Claire down.
12:22Everything's in motion.
12:23I can feel you watching me.
12:31Yeah, I was thinking I was being on a selfie.
12:36Impossible.
12:38I can feel your energy when you walk in the room.
12:40Is all this meditation stuff we're actually working?
12:44I'm not sure yet.
12:48But I feel like it's helping me to concentrate on what's...
12:52what's around me, you know.
12:54Well, if you can't beat him.
12:57Um...
12:59What?
13:01Am I not doing it properly?
13:02No, not at all.
13:04I felt good today.
13:07For the first time in ages.
13:10And for a second...
13:13It's like I'd completely forgot what happened.
13:16And forget again.
13:18You know.
13:19I should go back to me and you.
13:26And what if I can't?
13:28Then you can't.
13:31Shall you at least try?
13:36Hey, John Paul pulled me earlier.
13:52He did not.
13:54Ugh.
13:55He's thumping him.
13:56He's just being a good brother.
13:57What knows him all, like.
13:59Yeah, you're lucky to still have each other.
14:01I barely got a couple of years with my sister.
14:03Not enough time to tease her boyfriends.
14:05Right.
14:06Don't get any ideas.
14:07You're not my boyfriend.
14:08Yeah, you know what I mean.
14:11You really miss Verity, don't you?
14:14Yes, the little things.
14:16Texting her about my day, letting her know what happened.
14:20Today I jumped into bed with Mercedes McQueen again.
14:23Strange things have happened.
14:24Really?
14:29Sorry.
14:30Sorry that she got taken from you.
14:34Yeah, I'm sorry too.
14:36Well, we both lost people.
14:39That's why it's important to hold on to what we got.
14:44I'm parched.
14:46Want a drink?
14:47Yeah, go on.
14:48Yeah, go on.
14:49Yeah, go on.
15:07Ta-dam!
15:11What do you think?
15:12You look lovely.
15:13It's Frankie in.
15:24Grandad, you can let him in. It's okay.
15:32What do you want?
15:34I just wanted to say sorry about earlier.
15:37Frankie, if your dad asks, I'm not lying.
15:40I just hate how this has ruined things between us.
15:51Like, if there's no Claire or Bobby, what would you want to be doing?
15:55I don't know.
16:02Erm, you could take me to the ballet.
16:05We could get all dressed up.
16:07And I might let you hold my hand.
16:12That's a silly.
16:16Can I play a song?
16:18Yeah.
16:19Thanks.
16:26What's this?
16:27What?
16:28Oh, sorry.
16:29What have you done?
16:31Jacob, I can't just go along with this.
16:34You just put a massive target on all of our backs.
16:36Yeah.
16:38No, go on, take it.
16:39Sure.
16:40No, you have one.
16:42I don't know.
16:43We've got another last.
16:45I'll make a wish.
16:47Get out of the room, you two.
16:50That's your fault!
16:52I need to go change this. Give me a second.
16:55I'm glad you two have made up.
16:57I heard you saw Rex today.
16:58Is he okay?
16:59Yeah, don't worry about Rex.
17:01He's where he needs to be.
17:02Oh, come on, Steve.
17:03I know you still love him.
17:04Anyway, talk to me.
17:05Erm, today at the meeting, did they mention sponsors?
17:07Oh, yeah, I've been thinking.
17:09And now you can say no.
17:11But since you know everything that I'm going through,
17:13and you know everything about banks,
17:14I was thinking maybe you could be my sponsor.
17:16Me?
17:18Erm, are you sure?
17:20I look at you, Steve, and
17:21No, you can say no, but since you know everything that I'm going through, and you know everything
17:28about banks, I was thinking maybe you could be my sponsor.
17:34Me?
17:36Erm, are you sure?
17:39I look at you, Steve, and you've managed to turn things around more than once.
17:48And if anyone's going to get me out of this hole that I'm in, I think it's you.
18:02I want to be better.
18:05For him.
18:07You have to want to do it for yourself, Dylan.
18:12I'm not sure I'm worth it.
18:15You were right by my son's side.
18:18At the worst time in his life, so I do think you're worth it.
18:22I believe in you.
18:24All right.
18:28Don't start crying to you, kips.
18:35You must have been a naughty boy to end up in here.
18:43And again, with our family.
18:47You know, I never thought I'd have the misfortune of actually meeting you in person.
18:54You're no sister of mine.
18:57Oh.
18:58I won't cry myself to sleep.
19:00What do you want?
19:02I've got a little problem.
19:04A fly that needs swatting.
19:06He's been running his mouth to your pal DI Donny.
19:09And I don't like that.
19:11No.
19:13I won't do it.
19:19I believe you know Jacob.
19:23And that's his little mate.
19:25I've got some clients who'll pay top money for them.
19:28And they're not the sort of clients who necessarily return their goods in the condition they came in.
19:33You can't traffic those lads.
19:35Then you have a choice.
19:37Two lives.
19:39Or one.
19:45Let me know when it's done.
19:49And who is it you expect me to kill?
19:54Tom Cunningham.
20:03The End
20:10The End
20:19The End
20:24The End
20:27You
