00:28 [PANTING]
00:54 [SIGHS]
00:56 She was nice, though.
00:57 Well, I'm sure.
00:58 But have you actually considered that maybe it's too soon for you
01:01 to be seeing other women, Steve?
01:03 May I remind you, Dad, that my wife, as we speak,
01:05 is sunning herself in Spain with he
01:07 whose name shall not be spoken.
01:09 You see?
01:10 You see, you've just proved my point.
01:12 Because until you're over Tracy going off with Tommy--
01:16 Uh--
01:17 No, you see?
01:18 I'm sorry, but no.
01:19 Until you're over Tracy and you know who,
01:21 you're never really going to be able to fall
01:22 in love with anyone else.
01:24 For your information, I am over her.
01:27 Oh?
01:27 And I'm going to message Demi right now.
01:29 Yes, well, you can lie to yourself as much as you like.
01:34 But is it really fair to string these women along
01:37 when you're not really ready for a proper relationship?
01:39 Because believe me, I know, I know.
01:41 It's a scary, sca--
01:44 He's got a paragliding.
01:46 She wouldn't even get on the flipping water
01:47 flumes with me and Skeggy.
01:48 I'm sure she's posting these just to wind me up.
01:51 Oh.
01:52 Oh.
01:57 Well, the wanderer has returned.
02:00 You all right?
02:01 Well, not really, honey.
02:02 No, I mean, I've been calling you since 6.30.
02:05 Oh, sorry.
02:06 I did it on silent.
02:08 No worries.
02:10 So have we been anywhere nice?
02:14 OK, right.
02:15 Don't dive off at the deep end.
02:17 But the thing is, I've tracked down
02:19 another Christopher Green.
02:21 But it turned out to be a fellow in his 80s, so--
02:24 Yeah, so what happened to you dropping this?
02:26 I mean, it was only yesterday.
02:27 You said you were going to draw a line underneath.
02:28 I know what I said.
02:30 But then I lay awake with a head full of what ifs.
02:32 And I know it seems mad, because I've managed to bury
02:35 it for all these years.
02:35 But now, I just need to know what happened
02:38 to my boy, that he's all right.
02:40 After that, I will leave it be.
02:43 No, I swear.
02:45 And I'm down to the final name on my list.
02:48 Look, Dev, I know you think I'm obsessing about this,
02:50 because I'm losing Paul.
02:52 But nothing could replace that boy.
02:56 This is just something I need to do.
02:58 Can I help?
03:02 Well, that's dead kind of you.
03:04 But it's something I need to do on my own.
03:06 Right, well, let's just hope meeting him has the effect
03:08 that you're hoping for.
03:09 It will.
03:10 Well, let's hope.
03:11 Honestly, just seeing him makes my blood run cold.
03:17 Darling, I thought you said that it wasn't Nathan.
03:20 It wasn't, but for a second, I could have sworn--
03:24 oh, I don't know.
03:25 What did the police say when you put his name in the frame?
03:27 Oh, can we just drop it?
03:29 Look, you're just going to have to let them do the job.
03:32 But if he's killed her, then--
03:33 Well, then they'll charge him.
03:34 But you're my priority.
03:36 Let's just say they didn't exactly spring into action.
03:39 It's meant to be a flaming murder investigation.
03:42 Unbelievable.
03:43 Well, they're saying he's got an alibi.
03:45 Well, they might buy it, but I don't.
03:48 Your mum's right, though.
03:49 You can't go getting yourself involved.
03:50 Have you forgotten what you did?
03:52 Well, no, I haven't.
03:53 Of course I haven't.
03:54 I haven't forgotten what he did to Shona, either.
03:55 I'm just trying to warn you about him.
03:58 Which, by the way, let's not go telling any of this to her,
04:01 because that's the last thing that she
04:02 needs is reminded of him.
04:03 Yeah, I know.
04:04 Sorry.
04:06 I just want the police to take me seriously.
04:09 I know.
04:11 Well, it sounded to me like the business he runs,
04:12 he's just like the one you want to set up.
04:14 Yeah, but he's not going to want to help the competition,
04:16 is he? - No, no.
04:17 He was dead nice.
04:17 He said he'd be happy to have a chat and help you if he could.
04:19 His name's Jared something or other.
04:22 I'm going to give him his card.
04:23 Is this someone from the Institute?
04:26 Yeah, it is as it goes.
04:27 So that's all you really know about him,
04:29 then, that he's one of theirs?
04:31 Sorry, I don't think you need this guy, anyway.
04:33 I mean, Nick.
04:34 Nick's a businessman.
04:35 Oh, yeah, delivery apps aren't really my thing, you know.
04:38 He seemed like a nice guy, you know, genuinely helpful.
04:42 There you go.
04:43 Jared Fraser.
04:44 Right, well, can't hurt to go and pick his brain, can it?
04:47 [CHUCKLING]
04:48 Great.
04:55 All right?
04:57 Well, you know, actually, I'm glad that I've seen you.
05:00 Well, as it goes, I've been thinking
05:01 it would be good for us to catch up, properly.
05:03 Yeah, it would.
05:04 I better be off now, though, because I'm
05:06 going to be late for work.
05:06 But I'll just drop you a message or something.
05:08 Great.
05:09 Actually, listen, I don't suppose
05:11 you know what Nathan's alibi was the day
05:13 that Lauren went missing?
05:15 No.
05:15 So that's what this is about, then?
05:17 I just can't shake the feeling that it's not a coincidence.
05:20 You know that I can't.
05:22 But I also know how he operates, what he's capable of.
05:25 What if he manipulated her like he manipulated me?
05:28 You were there, Craig.
05:30 You saw how bad it was, how he almost destroyed me.
05:32 Men like that don't just change.
05:34 They need to feel a sense of power.
05:35 That's what makes them so dangerous.
05:38 He was with his girlfriend.
05:40 She works at a nail bar in town, just off Parliament Street.
05:44 Oh.
05:44 But you definitely didn't hear any of this from me, OK?
05:47 You were on a tanning salon when he groomed me,
05:48 do you remember?
05:49 What if this nail bar is just the same front?
05:51 I mean, do we even know if she's actually his girlfriend?
05:54 Thanks, Craig.
05:55 I owe you.
05:57 Just leave this investigation to us.
05:58 We'll go for that drink, though, yeah?
06:00 Black coffee, please, to go.
06:09 I'm literally on my way out the door.
06:11 Actually, you're literally standing
06:13 behind the counter, serving.
06:15 Nina will be down in two seconds.
06:16 Oh, eh?
06:22 It's all right for some.
06:23 Oh, yeah.
06:24 Living the dream, me.
06:26 Work's dried up.
06:28 Our business is like that, isn't it?
06:30 It'll pick up again.
06:31 Except it's been like that for a while.
06:33 Oh, I see.
06:35 We're being undercut by another local outfit.
06:37 They've nicked some of our corporate clients.
06:40 A leasing company, minicab company,
06:42 all our bread and butter.
06:45 So what are you going to do about it?
06:47 Apart from sitting here and drinking too much caffeine?
06:50 What about checking with streetcars
06:51 and your other regulars?
06:53 MLTs are due, services.
06:55 I'm not completely stupid.
06:57 Well, you can't just kick back and wait
06:58 for things to happen, Kev.
06:59 You've got to get proactive.
07:01 I mean, have you even got a website?
07:03 [GROWLING]
07:05 That's just crazy, that is.
07:07 I mean, think of all them people you could reach out to.
07:10 Our business doesn't run like that.
07:13 We rely on--
07:14 Word of mouth, yeah, right.
07:16 And how's that working out for you?
07:18 Listen, we'll be fine.
07:20 Let's hope so, eh?
07:23 Hello, anyone serving?
07:26 Oh, I'll go home and suck on a tea bag.
07:29 Hiya, love.
07:30 Hi.
07:31 Hi. - Sorry.
07:35 You all right?
07:37 A bit busy?
07:38 Yeah, just going over the contract.
07:40 Contract?
07:41 For the factory sale.
07:42 I've got a meeting with Carla.
07:43 Of course, yes, yes.
07:46 You OK?
07:47 Yeah.
07:49 No, no, I'm not, actually.
07:52 It's Bethany.
07:54 She thinks that Nathan, I don't know, got rid of Lauren.
07:58 I've told her to leave it to the police.
08:00 Do you want me to have a word?
08:01 No, no, no.
08:02 No, she thinks I'm mother hen, as it is.
08:04 Well, she's tough, you know.
08:06 Well, I won't let that act fool you.
08:08 Nathan coming back's really rocked her.
08:10 Honestly, I could kill him.
08:11 So you're going to the butcher, yeah?
08:16 Oh, and tell him we expect a full refund.
08:18 Yeah, I've got it.
08:19 Anything else?
08:20 I spoke to Jared.
08:21 Oh, yeah?
08:22 How'd it go?
08:23 Well, he seems like a cool guy.
08:24 He suggested we meet at the Institute seminar tomorrow,
08:26 and then we can get the ball rolling.
08:28 Here we go.
08:30 Don't suppose you could lend me the money?
08:31 Yeah, you suppose right.
08:33 You do realize that that's what this is all about, don't you?
08:35 Scamming people out of money.
08:36 Oh, Toya, you sound like a broken record.
08:38 So why not meet in a coffee shop?
08:40 Why's Simon got to fork out serious money just
08:42 to go and have a cozy chat?
08:45 Because it provides a safe and positive environment.
08:48 Well, so does your living room.
08:49 No, I'll tell you why.
08:51 Because they want to get you on their territory,
08:52 and then they can isolate you from the outside.
08:55 You do realize that you sound like one of these conspiracy
08:57 theorists, don't you?
08:58 And actually, for your information,
08:59 I know for a fact that he's got to shoot off
09:01 straight to a seminar in London, so he's doing
09:03 sire favours squeezing him in.
09:04 So can you lend me the money?
09:06 No, but I will give you some shifts
09:08 so you can pay for it yourself.
09:09 And before you stick your R in, I care about his future, OK?
09:12 And you know what they say, you've
09:13 got to speculate to accumulate.
09:14 Well, they also say a fool and his money are easily parted.
09:18 OK, why don't you just suggest meeting here instead?
09:21 Have you not listened to a word we've just said?
09:23 Jared has kindly said that he'll mentor Si,
09:25 so we're not going to throw it back in his face.
09:27 Right, I'll let you know when your shifts are.
09:29 Cool, thanks.
09:30 You're welcome.
09:32 [SIGHS]
09:34 Honestly, she does my head in sometimes.
09:37 OK, OK, she's grieving, that's all.
09:40 Yeah, yeah, you're right.
09:42 I need to be more understanding.
09:44 You know, there's a saying at the Institute,
09:47 everyone's your enemy when you've lost what you've loved.
09:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:52 Cannot believe that you went to see his girlfriend.
10:14 Hello, how are you?
10:15 I'm fine, thanks.
10:16 Why?
10:17 Because she gave Nathan an alibi.
10:19 And if I knew you were going to kick off, I wouldn't have--
10:21 [DOOR SLAMS]
10:22 [BIRDS CAWING]
10:24 Please tell me I'm not going mad.
10:27 I don't believe it.
10:28 You lost the plot.
10:29 First you start hassling my girlfriend,
10:31 and now you're following me.
10:32 I'm not following you, I live here.
10:34 I'm just trying to get my life back on track.
10:36 Move on, you should do the same.
10:38 It's a bit difficult to do, considering
10:40 what you put her through.
10:41 Did you not get the message?
10:42 You're playing the white knight, yeah, yeah.
10:44 Well, you're probably onto a winner, to be fair.
10:46 No, Daniel, stop!
10:47 Oi!
10:48 [SIGHS]
10:50 [FOOTSTEPS]
10:52 [CAR DOOR SLAMS]
10:53 [ENGINE STARTS]
10:55 [CAR ENGINE ROARS]
10:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:02 Sorry.
11:13 Sorry, sorry, sorry.
11:15 [DOOR OPENS]
11:16 [SIGHS]
11:17 Well, look, if it's a good thing I bought you a double.
11:20 Thank you.
11:22 [SIGHS]
11:24 So?
11:25 [SIGHS]
11:26 How did it go?
11:27 I mean, did you talk to him?
11:29 That would have been difficult. He died.
11:33 What?
11:34 Cancer.
11:36 No.
11:37 Honey, I-- that's awful.
11:40 I should have started looking for him sooner.
11:42 Maybe I could have done something.
11:43 Yeah, but what?
11:44 What could you have done?
11:45 I could have been a mother to him, 30 years too late.
11:49 In fact, he would have been 31 next week.
11:53 God rest his soul.
11:56 [SIGHS]
11:57 Right now, listen.
12:00 Thing is, and please don't bite my head off,
12:04 is that you've no way of knowing if this poor person really
12:06 was your son, do you?
12:07 I mean, you don't really have any proof as such, do you?
12:09 It was a gut feeling.
12:11 Anyway, he was the last name on the list.
12:15 This is punishment.
12:16 That's what this is.
12:17 Look, honey, that's just daft.
12:19 That's disappointment.
12:22 I'm sorry.
12:23 Budger.
12:24 OK, now listen.
12:30 I really do need to get back to the shop, OK?
12:31 But why don't you come with me?
12:33 Hm? Come on.
12:33 We'll get some lunch. We'll take it back.
12:35 What do you say?
12:36 Oh, thanks, Dev.
12:37 But I just want to stay here for a bit, you know, have a think.
12:39 Is that all right?
12:40 Yeah, of course.
12:42 So you want me to leave you to it?
12:43 - Yeah. - You sure?
12:44 Yeah.
12:44 See you, Neil.
12:47 Ryan, can I have another one of these, please, love,
12:53 when you're ready?
12:55 Coming up, my love.
12:56 Ah, cheers.
13:01 Thank you.
13:03 So what did he have to say for himself, then?
13:06 Told her he'd moved on.
13:07 Said that she should do the same.
13:08 Oh, yeah, like it's that easy.
13:10 So does she think that he's just come back on the street
13:13 just to rub her nose in it?
13:14 Yeah.
13:15 Daniel saw him drop some bloke off at the tram stop.
13:18 Looked like a builder.
13:20 I thought he'd have been told he had to stay clear of the place.
13:22 Oh, yeah.
13:23 He's not allowed within, like, 250 meters of her.
13:25 No wonder she was shaken up before.
13:27 I mean, just seeing him standing there.
13:29 Just brought it flooding back.
13:31 He should just go straight to the police.
13:34 Nah, he just said that he didn't know she'd move back around here.
13:36 And where's Daniel now? Is he with her?
13:38 Yeah. Yeah, they're at the flat.
13:40 I just-- I'm really worried.
13:41 He's going to put her back again.
13:43 How's Shona?
13:46 I don't know, really.
13:47 I don't really want to bring it up, you know,
13:49 just in case it all comes flooding back.
13:52 If he had anything about him,
13:53 he'd have moved to the other side of the country.
13:54 Well, doesn't look like that's going to happen, does it?
13:57 No, which is why something's got to be done about her.
13:58 Even this morning, when I thought I saw him,
14:03 I felt like I couldn't breathe.
14:06 And just now, he's somehow managed to make me feel like
14:09 I'm in the wrong.
14:11 It's a classic tactic of abusers to play the victim.
14:14 I know it's easy for me to say,
14:17 but you can't let him get to you.
14:20 I just seriously don't know how I'm going to cope
14:22 knowing he could just walk around a corner at any time.
14:26 There's no way I'm going to let him hurt you.
14:28 No, I know.
14:30 It's not even just what he did to me, though.
14:32 It's-- it's how he made me feel.
14:35 I was hating myself,
14:37 disgusted by the way that I look.
14:40 Hey.
14:41 You are so beautiful.
14:46 I could hear you say that a hundred times,
14:48 but the second he gets into my head,
14:51 it's all I can think about.
14:53 You're stronger than you were back then.
14:58 You'll deal with it.
15:00 But what if I can't?
15:03 I'm going to go for a lie down.
15:05 [toilet flushes]
15:07 All right?
15:25 Fine.
15:26 Coffee?
15:31 No, thanks.
15:33 But I would like to know
15:35 how come you've turned into another cheerleader
15:37 for Rowan and his cronies?
15:39 Oh, come on.
15:40 We've been over this.
15:41 I told you, they're harmless enough, all right?
15:43 Harmless?
15:44 Working to control people's lives isn't harmless.
15:47 And now Leanne's dragging Simon
15:49 further into this whole ridiculous setup.
15:51 But apparently you think that's fine.
15:53 Okay, look, I know you're going through a lot of stuff, so--
15:56 Stuff?
15:57 My dead baby?
15:58 Yeah, too right I am.
15:59 But don't make out that I'm the one who's lost the plot.
16:01 I'm not.
16:02 Don't you think if I thought Simon and Leanne
16:04 were being ripped off or in danger,
16:06 I'd be all over that?
16:08 You know, they're not being forced.
16:09 But because it's all about manipulation, isn't it?
16:11 So they don't have to force people to follow them.
16:13 To what end?
16:15 Why would Jared take Simon under his wing?
16:17 I mean, unless you can prove there's another motive.
16:20 Oh, believe me, I will.
16:28 Well, you might at least try and look like you're still in business.
16:32 Right, so come on.
16:34 How is it?
16:35 Oh, yeah, it's been all go.
16:37 Mrs Benson called to cancel the service
16:39 because they've decided to get rid of the car.
16:42 Typhoon's been on to remind me I'm not paid the latest invoice.
16:45 Right, why don't you do a ring round of all you regulars?
16:47 Tyrone did that before he got off.
16:49 Anyway, we need business now.
16:52 David!
16:55 They're doing a special offer for MOTs, if you're interested.
16:59 What?
17:00 It'll do you a free valet and all.
17:02 Leave the poor lad alone, will you?
17:04 Besides, we're not that desperate.
17:06 You see, there you go again.
17:08 Sticking your head in sand, as usual.
17:10 We'll manage, OK?
17:12 We've just got to scrape by till things pick up.
17:14 HE SIGHS
17:15 Max!
17:17 Oh, look, Debbie, if it's about that bottle of milk...
17:20 No, no, it's nothing to do with the bottle of milk.
17:22 Come here a sec, will you?
17:25 What happened?
17:27 Should be me up there.
17:30 What, wearing a bikini, cuddling Tommy Hope, paragliding over the Med?
17:34 Too soon? Sorry.
17:37 Anyway, you'd get a nosebleed at the top of a step ladder.
17:41 That's not the point.
17:42 When Tracy thinks of me...
17:44 If she thinks of you.
17:45 All she sees is the mundane.
17:47 You know, me propping up the bar and the rovers.
17:50 When she thinks of him, all she sees is exotic locations,
17:55 exciting adventures.
17:57 He's James Bond to your Jimmy Tarbuck.
18:01 Anyway, how's Demi?
18:02 Duh, not heard from her.
18:04 Really? That's a shame.
18:05 Maybe I should do some big romantic gesture.
18:09 Yeah, why not?
18:10 I mean, I'd keep my feet firmly on the ground, but then, yeah, go for it.
18:13 Dev reckons I should stay clear of women for a while.
18:18 Get me head straight, you know.
18:20 Be happy with my own company.
18:23 Do you like your own company?
18:25 I've been ex-Samaritans recruiting.
18:27 Dev's right, keep your distance.
18:29 I don't know what to do.
18:33 You know none of this is actually about you, though.
18:37 Well, if any more than showing her freaking out about Nathan's about you.
18:41 She'll just go into herself and know she will.
18:45 He almost destroyed Bethany.
18:47 I mean, you remember.
18:49 Yeah, of course I do. Where is she now?
18:52 She's gone for a lie down, Daniel says.
18:53 I mean, you just want to protect your kids, no matter how old they are, don't you?
18:57 Yeah, and you know as long as he's around, she's always going to be looking over her shoulder.
19:02 I mean, they both are.
19:04 Yep.
19:07 I can't lose her again, David, I can't.
19:10 No, you won't.
19:13 I've got to go, actually.
19:15 Erm, I'll tell us about the tea.
19:18 I'll see you.
19:19 Alright, see you later.
19:21 What are you doing here?
19:34 I might ask you the same thing.
19:39 I work here, in the CAF.
19:42 Bet you didn't know.
19:45 You think I'm here for you?
19:47 Well, what are you here for, then?
19:49 That's really none of your business.
19:51 Yeah, well, I'm making it my business, cos if it's about my dear friend, Roy Cropper...
19:56 We're here on official business, so do one, will you?
19:58 Official business, my eye.
20:00 Right, people like you, you make judgements of folk when you don't know anything about them or their circumstances.
20:07 Have you been drinking?
20:09 Ha! The cheek of it!
20:12 Right, let's see how funny you really are, cos I am going to give you three seconds to sling your hook,
20:21 and then I am going to call the police.
20:24 Are you threatening me?
20:26 Yeah, well, you're not so clever now, are you, big man?
20:28 Now the shoe's on the other foot.
20:30 One.
20:31 Two.
20:33 Tell you what, I'll save you the trouble.
20:35 OK.
20:41 I'm arresting you for being drunk and disorderly.
20:44 Ah.
20:47 So, let me get this straight. You're not actually involved in the Institute. It's your sister?
20:53 Leanne, yeah. But actually, it's your ex that I wanted to talk to you about.
20:57 So you know Rowan?
20:59 Yeah. Leanne's come to view him as a bit of a mentor, I suppose you'd call it, but...
21:05 The thing is, I'm worried that she's being manipulated by the organisation and what she might be getting herself into.
21:12 Oh, right.
21:14 Please, tell me, is my sister in danger?
21:19 [door opens]
21:20 [door closes]
21:26 [Leanne laughs]
21:47 [Leanne sighs]
21:48 I've got this girl giving me the eebles, her boyfriend wants to punch me lights out,
21:54 and then the mother and her bloke start charging towards me.
21:58 I tell you, it's a family of nutjobs.
22:00 [laughs]
22:02 Yeah, I know.
22:03 [grunts]
22:09 [music]
22:11 Nathan is going to use anything he can against us, I know he will.
22:23 We already look like the unhinged, aggressive ones and he just gets away with it.
22:27 He's going to get away with everything.
22:28 No, he won't. I promise you, he won't. But you cannot let him control how you're feeling.
22:34 So what do you suppose I do then? Just paint on a smile and pretend everything's fine?
22:37 No, of course not. I'm worried about you.
22:39 [phone rings]
22:40 Do you want me to tell him you're busy?
22:44 No, no, it's fine, I'm fine.
22:45 Craig?
22:47 Oh, no, I just feel like my head's going to explode, but what's up?
22:50 Do you have any idea who...
22:55 Lucian Phonix.
22:59 Sorry for speaking to my own home.
23:01 [phone rings]
23:02 Why?
23:05 No, no, thanks for letting me know. Bye.
23:09 He's in hospital.
23:12 Craig?
23:14 Nathan. He was attacked.
23:16 I just need to, um... I'm gonna...
23:20 Do you want me to come with you?
23:22 No.
23:23 No, it's fine. I'll see you later.
23:31 I keep telling her that all this "alt-availance" stuff is nonsense,
23:34 but without proper proof, she just won't give me the time of day.
23:37 Your sister's an adult, correct?
23:39 Well, yeah, but you wouldn't know it seeing the way that Rowan manipulates it.
23:43 I mean, you know what he's like.
23:44 Do I?
23:45 Please, help me bring him down.
23:48 You want to bring down my ex-husband?
23:52 I'm just scared that my sister's got herself involved in something sinister.
24:00 Your threshold for fear seems really off.
24:03 There's nothing to be scared of.
24:05 Not the Institute, and not my ex-husband.
24:09 Oh, come off it. It's well dodgy. You've seen it yourself.
24:13 Leanne's forked out hundreds of pounds, money that Rowan has happily taken off her.
24:17 If Leanne has chosen to contribute to alt-availant, then she has done so freely.
24:21 There's nothing free about it when it comes to your ex.
24:24 Rowan is a good and honest man.
24:27 I know that he deleted what you wrote on their socials.
24:31 You think I'm some online troll?
24:33 Well, yeah.
24:34 I only have the utmost love and respect for Rowan.
24:37 This is like Stepford Wives. Snap out of it.
24:40 I promise, I promise you can trust me, OK?
24:43 But you found the courage to split from him, I know you can find it again.
24:47 Rowan and I separated because we were holding each other back from realising our full potential.
24:55 It's clear you would love to uncover some sort of scandal, but it was very adult and amicable.
25:01 Sorry to disappoint.
25:03 Do not contact me again.
25:06 Wait, look, I'm sorry, I...
25:08 The thing is, with you coppers, you don't care why somebody's had a drink.
25:18 You're not bothered what sorrows were drowning.
25:21 No, you just puff us and stick us in cages like animals.
25:25 Save your sob stories.
25:27 What's this?
25:28 Drunken disorder.
25:29 Dear Swain, we go way back, don't we?
25:33 Not really.
25:34 Look, I've had a drink, I'll hold me hands up, but disorderly I am not.
25:40 Good to know.
25:41 See, I've been looking for someone,
25:45 and today I found out that I'll never find him because he's passed away.
25:51 He's passed away and I'll never get to know him.
25:55 Looks like she needs to go home and sleep it off. She shouldn't be in here.
25:59 Bang on!
26:01 Maybe you were running the show at your last station and did what you liked,
26:05 but when I put someone on a case, I expect them to stay focused on said case, not get distracted.
26:10 She was showing abuse at me.
26:12 And did you feel under threat?
26:14 So send her home and do your job.
26:17 I am doing my...
26:18 I'd appreciate it if you did as you were asked.
26:21 Yeah, PC, bludge, do your job proper.
26:26 Of all the cabs in all the world, eh?
26:32 Blank expression, I get that a lot.
26:34 I'm Tim, Steve's mate. We were never properly introduced.
26:37 Steve.
26:38 That memorable, was he?
26:40 Ha, I'm missing.
26:41 MacDonald.
26:43 We had a good day, though, then.
26:45 Turned into a terrible woman when he started banging on about his ex the whole time.
26:48 That's the one.
26:50 You're not going to see him again, then?
26:52 I did like him. He was funny.
26:55 Very.
26:56 Smart.
26:57 And super intellectual.
26:58 He's got gorgeous eyes.
27:00 Like blue panda pops.
27:03 But it's never fun being a rebound.
27:07 Oh, Demi, you've got it so wrong.
27:10 (TRAFFIC RUMBLES)
27:12 Also should leave handkerchiefs in here.
27:20 What?
27:21 Judging.
27:22 Give me a fair share of sulking in these gardens.
27:25 Handkerchiefs?
27:26 We sent from the past.
27:28 See, that's what I like about you.
27:29 Even when you're upset, you've still got enough energy to mock me.
27:32 Nice.
27:33 Sorry for making a joke.
27:36 No, it's not you.
27:38 It's Nathan.
27:40 He was attacked.
27:42 And it's weird, because I feel like I don't know who I am.
27:45 He was left for dead, and part of me wishes that he...
27:49 Anyone would feel like that, in your shoes, after what he did.
27:54 No, I know. I know.
27:56 But I don't care about him.
27:58 I care about the man that I'm with.
28:01 The kind, caring man that I love.
28:04 I don't get you.
28:06 The police want to speak to Daniel.
28:08 Got you.
28:11 When you love someone,
28:15 you just want to protect them, you know?
28:18 It's just... It's that instinct that just kicks in.
28:20 It's like when he went after Justin. I don't blame him.
28:23 Daniel hurt Justin?
28:25 When he was stalking Daisy, yeah.
28:27 That's... That's what I'm saying.
28:29 And it's a need to protect.
28:31 And... And you didn't know that, did you?
28:35 But everyone knows what a garage does.
28:37 Repairs, MOTs.
28:39 Why do we need a website to tell people what they already know?
28:42 Oh, you're showing your age now, Kev.
28:45 I'm more, you know, down with the kids, me.
28:48 Right. Yeah, I can tell.
28:51 I don't know why we need one.
28:53 Look, plain and simple, having a website
28:55 just brings you into the 21st century.
28:57 Right? You've got your customer booking system,
28:59 you've got your reviews.
29:01 I mean, I wouldn't take my money from a website.
29:03 You haven't got a car.
29:05 Well, if I did, I wouldn't bring it here
29:07 because I wouldn't know about it.
29:09 Well, you do know us because your house is 30 seconds away.
29:12 Right, look, why don't I take some photos, yeah?
29:15 Get some action shots.
29:17 And you can tell them what you think.
29:19 Yeah! Wicked!
29:21 That's wicked good, not wicked bad.
29:24 Sounds expensive.
29:26 Call it 100 quid.
29:28 Come on, open your mind and your heart.
29:31 Come on, open your mind and your wallet for once.
29:35 Fine.
29:37 Right, OK, so you just do what you normally do
29:40 and I'll take some action shots, yeah?
29:42 I think prospective customers are going to scroll right on by
29:50 if they're met with a picture of his behind.
29:53 I tell you what, why don't you get down on this wheelie thing?
29:56 That'll look right professional, that will.
29:58 You get on it.
30:00 Thoughtwork believe I work in this garage, will they?
30:03 Far too glamorous for that.
30:05 Right, honestly, just act natural, yeah?
30:09 I forgot what natural is.
30:11 Do you think he needs to whip his top off, Maxie?
30:14 I am not a piece of meat.
30:16 Sex sells!
30:18 You know, I think you and Toya need to call a truce.
30:23 OK, I feel sorry for her, I do.
30:25 But it's really hard to help her when she won't open up her mind
30:28 and is so remotely positive.
30:30 Maybe a bit less helping and more sharing a bottle of wine.
30:33 Oh! Table four want me to bring them more oil and balsamic for the dread.
30:37 I'm telling them they can't keep filling up on the free stuff.
30:40 Wow, service with a smile, Ace, aye?
30:42 You know me.
30:43 Well, go and get it for him, but just go easy on the balsamic.
30:46 I think you were right about him earning his own money, you know.
30:51 Oh? Could it be that we're actually agreeing on something?
30:54 Er, yeah, I think so.
30:56 I'm used to it.
30:58 Don't let this woman take up space in your head.
31:01 She's clearly blocked by unhappiness.
31:03 He dedicates so much of his time to other people, you know.
31:06 OK, bye. Stay strong.
31:08 Problem?
31:11 Not a problem, just a...
31:13 challenging character, isn't she?
31:16 Your sister.
31:17 Ah! Toya.
31:19 Right, out with it. What have you done now?
31:22 (POLICE SIREN WAILS)
31:24 Craig said the police wanted to talk to you.
31:28 Well, I'll await their call with great anticipation.
31:31 It's not a joke, you know.
31:33 When I went for a lie-down earlier, where did you go?
31:37 Walked.
31:39 My head was a mess. Didn't want to put that on you.
31:41 So you just... walked?
31:47 Where?
31:49 Along the canal.
31:51 I thought you were really going to lose it at Nathan when we saw him.
31:54 Makes my blood boil.
31:56 I don't blame you for raging at him.
31:59 He just needs to disappear.
32:02 Is that what you were trying to do? Make him disappear?
32:05 You what?
32:06 It's not what I want, you know.
32:08 An eye for an eye or whatever.
32:10 What Nathan did to me can't be solved by kicking his head in.
32:13 Look, I'm sorry that it got heated.
32:15 Was it you?
32:17 You're the reason that Nathan's in hospital.
32:19 I don't just go around attacking people, Bethany.
32:21 Except you do, though.
32:23 Because you tried it once with Nathan and then what about Justin?
32:25 The list just goes on, Daniel.
32:27 How do you know about Justin?
32:29 It doesn't matter how I know about Justin.
32:31 What matters is that clearly you are the kind of person that goes around attacking people.
32:34 Who's been stirring the pot?
32:37 Nobody has been stirring the pot. If anything, he was sticking up for you.
32:40 Who was?
32:44 (SAD MUSIC PLAYING)
32:46 You should take up a hobby.
32:58 Should I?
32:59 Yeah, something. Anything to keep you occupied and stop meddling in my life.
33:02 I told him that you were trying to be nice.
33:04 Right, well, your girlfriend was upset.
33:06 Oh, right, well, it was a good thing you were there then, wasn't it?
33:08 To wipe away her tears and talk rubbish about me.
33:11 If you're talking about you having a bit of a temper when it comes to protecting your woman,
33:14 then that's not rubbish, that's fact.
33:16 And I was actually on your side, mate.
33:18 Outside.
33:19 I'm working and you're hardly proving me wrong, right?
33:22 Yeah, come on, mate, just have a pint and calm down.
33:24 Oh, better still, let's just go.
33:26 Only place I'm going is out there with him. You coming?
33:28 Oh, you could just have a pint and a few deep breaths, eh?
33:30 What are you gonna do?
33:31 - That's not helping, right? - What are you gonna do?
33:33 You're not 15, scrapping on the school field anymore.
33:35 You're a man, Daniel, a grown man, so act like it.
33:37 No, no, no, no, no.
33:39 - Come on, then! - Daniel!
33:41 I wanted to know why his ex-wife had so much bad feeling towards him.
33:48 Oh, yeah, cos usually exes are fine.
33:50 Actually, my wife and I didn't part badly.
33:52 Yeah, she said the same, which is obviously why she ratted me out to you.
33:55 Well, only because you did something ratty in the first place.
33:58 I think you're being a bit harsh there, Leanne.
34:00 Look, he said that those online comments were posted by a bitter ex, which they weren't.
34:04 So who posted them?
34:06 Someone who wanted to warn us how dangerous this man can be.
34:08 I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk about me like I'm not here.
34:11 OK, fine, I'll ask you straight.
34:13 Who is this so-called troll that you're talking about who posted these comments?
34:17 - An ex. - Try again.
34:19 I never said it was my ex-wife.
34:22 It was an ex from years back. I finished things and she was unhappy about that.
34:26 I'm sorry if you misunderstood.
34:28 I can get you her details if you want.
34:31 Name, phone number, favourite ice cream.
34:33 No?
34:36 Look, I think we've just got our wires crossed, you know.
34:39 Yeah, it was just an ex with an axe to grind, nothing more.
34:42 I hope she finds peace.
34:44 As I hope you do too, Toya.
34:46 I'll get stuffed.
34:48 - I should go. - No, Rowan, please don't go. Rowan!
34:53 See you at home.
34:58 (indistinct chatter)
35:00 - You have got your own home, you know. - Yeah, I know.
35:15 I just thought Bethany might come back here.
35:17 Well, maybe she just needs a bit of space.
35:20 Well, I'm her mother. She needs me.
35:23 Yeah, but it's softly, softly, innit?
35:26 - Can't be up in a grill 24/7. - Oh, shut up, yeah.
35:29 Cos when things went bad with Max, you were chilled, weren't you?
35:32 - Fair point. - Oh, come here!
35:34 What have you got to the grand old age of 33
35:36 and you've not realised that you can't put your lights and your darks together?
35:40 Well, live life on the edge, don't I?
35:42 What's this?
35:44 I don't know. Food?
35:46 You were wearing them earlier, weren't you?
35:49 Yeah, Mrs. Worsley had, like, a deep red balayage, so...
35:54 So did I.
35:56 Was it you? Did you attack Nathan?
35:59 - Course it wasn't. - Oh, David, come on.
36:03 I've seen you at your worst, and you and Bethany have both had awful things happen to you.
36:07 - Thanks for the TED talk, but it hasn't. - David!
36:10 - What? - You've done something to Nathan.
36:12 I haven't, all right? But I'll tell you what, I'll buy the bloke a pint who has.
36:22 It's hot.
36:24 You know, this guy, he sounds like a right nasty little jobsworth.
36:27 I know, I shouldn't have got wasted, but it was just...
36:30 - Oh, it was such a shock, you know? - Of course it was, honey.
36:34 My boy. He's gone and I never knew him.
36:37 - OK. - And now I never will.
36:39 Listen, honey, I know your heart's breaking, OK,
36:41 but you've got two wonderful kids here, OK, and they love you and they need you, right?
36:45 Mm. Well, that copper made a bad time even worse.
36:49 Come here. Forget him, honey.
36:53 You're never going to have to see him again, right?
36:55 Good. Cos he'd be in for it if I did.
36:58 I'd say.
37:00 I'm a mechanic, not magic Mike.
37:06 Our website shouldn't look like I'm selling lap dances.
37:09 Think she was probably messing with you, mate.
37:12 Oh, no, no, I wasn't. I was one step away from suggesting baby oil.
37:16 I'm telling you now, Kevin, this website will do you wonders.
37:21 Well, it better do, cos we need something.
37:23 Hey, do you know what you need to do?
37:25 You need to really step into the future.
37:28 Well, I like the present.
37:30 You do, don't you? I'll tell you what you like.
37:33 You like to chillax with your feet up in the past.
37:36 Nobody wants to deal with actual human beings on the telephone any more, do they?
37:41 No, they want instant bookings with a side of TikTok.
37:45 I'm not doing any stupid dances.
37:48 I bet you've got some moves, though, don't you, Kev?
37:51 No? Just a few, mate?
37:53 I'd have got you a pint, but I thought it might be risky.
38:08 Yeah, good thinking.
38:10 She's got eyes everywhere, I'll sell.
38:12 I appreciate the thought, though.
38:14 Well, what can I say? I'm a nice guy.
38:17 Some people might say... irresistible.
38:21 Who might say?
38:23 Ladyfolk.
38:25 Any particular ladyfolk we're talking about?
38:29 Well, you'll be happy to know that I won't need your assistance any more with my love life,
38:33 because I am smashing it just being myself.
38:36 How come?
38:38 Demi messaged me earlier.
38:41 In fact, we've been messaging all afternoon.
38:45 Demi? Really?
38:47 I thought she'd done with you.
38:49 Pfft! Once you've tasted McDonald's, you want some more.
38:53 Listen, you are very lucky to be with Sally,
38:56 because I'm telling you, women these days, they do not want riffraff.
39:00 No, no, no, no, no. Gone are the days that they want a bit of rough.
39:03 These days, they want a true gent.
39:05 Ah. And that's you, is it? A gent?
39:08 Yeah, of course it is.
39:10 I mean, you've got to play it cool, like, you know what I mean?
39:13 They don't want somebody desperate.
39:15 So, you think that I'm the only one round here who wants that rapist out of the way?
39:23 I know you've threatened Mr Curtis previously.
39:27 I had a word with him.
39:29 Is that all?
39:30 Pretty much.
39:32 I'm well aware that Nathan Curtis isn't the most popular person,
39:35 so if I could rule you out as his attacker, then that would be great.
39:38 So, I'll ask again. Where were you at around 2pm?
39:41 Walking.
39:43 With?
39:44 Me, myself and I.
39:46 That's unfortunate.
39:49 I like my own company.
39:51 Mr Osborne, I'm feeling some hostility from you here, and I don't really know why.
39:56 It's barely five minutes since you hauled me in about Lauren.
40:01 Now you think I've attacked Nathan too.
40:03 What is it about me that screams "thug" to you?
40:07 Oh, I don't know.
40:09 Maybe the fact that my colleague walked in on you shoving Mr Windass
40:12 and looking like you were about to stow someone's head in.
40:15 Yeah, well, that was...
40:17 Misunderstanding.
40:19 Was it?
40:21 Or do you have difficulty controlling your temper?
40:23 So, just tell me the truth, Daniel.
40:26 Did you attack Nathan Curtis?
40:29 Lean on with you.
40:36 No, she walked round to the tram.
40:39 It's fine.
40:41 Your bum must be hurting from sitting on that fence.
40:43 I'm not stupid. I don't like him any more than you do,
40:45 but I just don't want to push Leanne away,
40:47 cos you're doing a perfectly good job of that at the moment.
40:49 At least I care about her.
40:51 Come on! She's happy. I trust her.
40:54 OK, so what, we do nothing?
40:56 I know you're going through it and you just want to deflect and distract.
40:59 Deflect? Because I'm the awful person that's conning her out of loads of money.
41:03 Oh, come on, I can't ruin her happiness. She'll hate me.
41:06 We need to get her to step away from the Kool-Aid.
41:08 It's not that bad, is it?
41:10 Oh, but you haven't seen what he was putting about people being trapped in their darkness
41:13 and how she needs to be careful who she spends her time with
41:15 in case they stifle her growth.
41:17 Right. Leanne isn't stupid.
41:19 No, I'm not saying she is. I'm saying Rowan's smart.
41:22 Can we have a chat?
41:29 Can I say no?
41:30 Well, yeah, you can, but I'd prefer it if you said, "Yeah, sure, sis, let's talk."
41:34 Oh, Taya, I just can't absorb your negativity all the time.
41:38 I'm not asking you to absorb anything.
41:40 I didn't like the way he spoke to Rowan and I don't like the way he speaks to me,
41:43 so can we just leave it till I get back?
41:45 I need to prepare and be in a positive headspace.
41:47 Get back from where?
41:49 Rowan's got me a place on the retreat and he was right to
41:51 because I need to get out of here and clear my head.
41:54 You can't just drop everything.
41:56 Well, I'm beginning to understand what's important and what's not.
41:58 He gave it to you for free, did he, Rowan?
42:00 Well, cheaper than cancelling sessions from you back in the day.
42:03 And actually, yeah, he did give me a discount.
42:05 Oh, I bet he did.
42:06 Rowan reckons that I'm on a crucial stage in my journey, so I need to be all in.
42:09 And that means no phones, no social media, nothing.
42:12 What, no contacts at all?
42:14 Nick, it's for two weeks. Please don't ruin this for me.
42:17 (Door opens)
42:19 Didn't hear you come in.
42:46 Sorry.
42:48 Thanks for looking after him.
42:50 He's not asleep. He's reading The Storm Whale.
42:53 (Scoffs) Again.
42:55 Yeah, he knows that off by heart.
42:57 The police kept you for quite a while then.
43:02 Yeah.
43:04 They like to do that.
43:06 You shouldn't have kicked off at Ryan.
43:08 Yeah.
43:11 And Gary was just trying to keep the peace.
43:13 You didn't have to go in all guns blazing.
43:15 He's already ruined one of my relationships.
43:17 Not gonna let him do it again.
43:19 And are you doing that all by yourself?
43:21 Don't say that.
43:23 I don't like that side of you, Daniel. It's scary.
43:26 (Chuckles)
43:28 Come on, you're not scared of me.
43:30 Do you still think I'm the one who attacked Nathan?
43:36 I just need some space.
43:39 What?
43:43 Hey. Don't go.
43:45 Bethany?
43:49 (Door slams)
43:52 (Snow crunches)
43:54 (Music plays)
43:59 (Music continues)
44:02 (Music continues)
44:05 (Music continues)
44:07 (Music continues)
44:17 (Music ends)
44:29 (whooshing)
