00:04so let's not tell him otherwise.

00:07How am I done it?
00:08Why don't you fill me in with what he's done?
00:10Maybe we can help each other out.
00:12It's not mine.

01:13Guys.
01:15Who's ready to look at wedding venues?
01:18Can't wait.
01:22I am marrying the perfect man.
01:28♪
01:54You've come to the right place.
01:57Because if there's one thing I'm good at,
01:59it's taking care of problems.
02:04Alright, thanks, man.
02:07Uh, excuse me.
02:09Traders?
02:11Why are you not buying from the kiosk?
02:12Huh? What does this place have that I don't?
02:14A roof?
02:16Donny and I were just researching wedding venues.
02:21But everything's so expensive.
02:23Maybe we should agree on a smaller budget.
02:26Oh, no.
02:27No, no, no. We're the best for you.
02:28We'll make it work.
02:30I'll, uh, raid my piggy bank.
02:32Last of the big spenders.
02:35Morning, Robbie.
02:36Have you seen Vicky?
02:37She seemed a bit down over breakfast.
02:40Actually, that's why I wanted to speak to Donny.
02:42Apparently the pair of you had a bit of a daddy-daughter spat.
02:44Uh-oh.
02:45What's he done now?
02:46Something or nothing. I'll, uh, I'll fix it.
02:48Of course you will.
02:49It's what you do.
02:52See you later.
02:54See you later.
02:57You keep away from my family.
02:58Now, whether you like it or not, me and Vicky are together.
03:00And I care about her, too.
03:02All's you care about is saving your own neck.
03:04And we both know it was you that paid the photographer.
03:06But not tell Vicky to say that in court.
03:09There's me thinking we could be civil.
03:10Oh, well.
03:13Ooh.
03:15Been in the wars, have we?
03:18That's what happens when you borrow 20 grand from a loan shark.
03:22So I've just had a fascinating phone call from an old colleague of mine
03:24telling me that some stupid person in the garage
03:27has been switching number plates on stolen cars.
03:29No way.
03:30I'd know.
03:33OK, before you freak out,
03:35in my defence, the money is ridiculous.
03:38I don't care about the money, all right?
03:40Freddy is never going to get Lexi back in to keep our noses clean.
03:42Right, but it's OK for you to be here.

03:53Oh no, that would be subtle.
03:55All right, one sniff of this
03:56and Robbie's going straight to social services.
04:00And who are you working for anyway?

08:08You don't have a choice Donnie you're in too deep
08:15Okay, let me just say I'm only here for my family because they won't listen to me I
08:24I
08:27Don't even need a grief counselor
08:32And you know why
08:41My husband is actually still alive
08:48See I
08:50knew this
08:51You think I've lost it don't you many people struggle to accept their loved ones gone James is not James is not gone
08:59He's not gone
09:07He's being held captive by a man named Rex Gallagher I
09:14Snuck into his carriage and I found a bag and he had rope in it gaffer tape and a balaclava inside
09:21So what do you think this means? What do you think it means that it's holding in somewhere?
09:28There's more as well
09:29Rex is making dodgy phone calls. He keeps mentioning James's name and he's also kept one of his ties
09:36There's like a sick trophy
09:39I
09:46Knew that no one had believed me. So I
09:54Had to be 100% sure
09:57Steve where did you get this?
10:00James's grave. Wait, are you saying that James was never in that grave? Exactly look
10:06Look at these
10:16That's not proof that Rex's kidnapped James what is
10:20You
10:34Hey Skylar
10:36You dodging the school canteen again, bro. I'm talking to you. I've talked to your girlfriend instead
10:42Sure, I wish I just told mom the truth when I saw you two together
10:47You told me you break the news for gently
10:50I never wanted your mom to find out the way she did
10:53Me and your mom we might not be together anymore, but I still care about her
10:56Obviously not enough to stop yourself from jumping onto a best mate. Hey you
11:00Once time's over I get back to school. I
11:03Can't believe I used to look up to you
11:09It's got every right to be angry
11:13So have you
11:16Diane I am so sorry. Yeah, so you've said
11:21All those nights just the three of us laughing and chatting over a takeaway
11:28Do you honestly expect me to believe that the party just stopped when I went to bed
11:32Look, I'm not gonna lie. We've attempted
11:35But we we both care about you too much. Yeah
11:39Yeah, I must have killed you to eat
11:41You know Marie. She's
11:43Well, she's gorgeous, isn't she and
11:47She's funny
11:50Life and soul of the party like I used to be
11:55So I you fell for it
11:59That's it, isn't it
12:02She was just a perservation of me before the drink and I'm not getting on
12:08Hey
12:10Listen
12:11There's no better version of you Diane
12:14You're perfect. Just the way you are
12:17And I wish you
12:19nothing, but happiness
12:23Even if it's not with me
12:31Right look at the J in James it's
12:37Exactly the same as the note. Have you shown this to your family? What would be the point? There's no point is there?
12:45Lila and Lucas reckon I'm not thinking straight because of the grief
12:51Do you believe me
12:56It feels unbelievable
12:59But you're right. It's too much evidence to ignore
13:02Thank you
13:04Yes
13:05Thanks. I knew it
13:08I knew I was right
13:10But this is all in strict confidence, isn't it?
13:13Anything you say in our sessions is strictly between me and you unless you're a danger to yourself or others
13:18But I strongly advise you to hand James's note into the police. Yeah
13:25The police
13:28Yeah, you're right
13:32Okay
13:38Yeah
13:41Wait
13:42What if the police?
13:44Don't charge Rex straight away. No, they don't keep him in a cell overnight
13:48All that all calling the police is gonna do is tip him off Steve
13:51This is serious if what you're telling me is true, then James's life could be on the line
13:58Okay, Rex has kept him a prisoner for this long so I need to
14:03I
14:05Want to try and get close to him get him to lay his guard down
14:12Rex is keeping James in a house. All I need to do is find out where
14:19I'm gonna bring my husband home
14:23Here is my employee of the month. Oh
14:26Oh
14:28You've got a nerve and you
14:30Using Freddy's garage as a front for your little shady deals you mug. You told your sister found out
14:35I can't believe that you took Lexie away from Freddie making out like you're some responsible guardian when you're buying her fancy toys for dirty money
14:43Why don't we see what the the social services think you're a little sideline, huh?
14:47Yeah, go on then. So was you like only seeing your brother during visiting hours?
14:51I'm ashamed to lose him. I'm the good little businessman
14:54But you don't run in the family in it you are not gonna get away with this
15:02So first stay over here's our business call and now Grace knows everything about our operation
15:07You're not exactly James Bond. I uh, luckily you've got a chance to redeem yourself
15:12Yeah. Yeah. Well, I've been thinking about that one
15:15Switching number plates on stolen cars. That's one thing but
15:19Staging a break-in into the mallets forget it. Grace is gonna be watching me like a hawk from now
15:24Oh, is that why you're backing out? Okay. She big sis don't like it's more than just grace
15:27I've got other people that I need to think of I'm not risking it
15:35The risk is saying no to me don't forget what I'm capable of understand
15:43My new dad
15:45Gonna teach me how to play catcher. Yeah, excuse me. I'm not told to go to bed without dinner. Relax
15:51I'm off out for dinner Malila. Anyway, no, no, she's not having a favorite lover boy. Yeah
15:58I'm so sorry about yesterday. I
16:00Made you another cake. You're such a fan of the lemon drizzle. I figured we could try something else. It's a red velvet
16:08Red velvet. Yeah, it's Diane's favorite in it
16:15Tony
16:18You're such a nice guy
16:20You're nicer than my usual type, which makes one punch myself for saying this, but I think we're moving too fast. I
16:27Don't understand. I thought we was on the same page. We were
16:31Until I saw my best mate's heart break into a million pieces and I
16:38Swung by the dog earlier. I
16:41Saw the way you two look to each other. There's nothing going on between me and Diane anymore. I
16:47Think we both know that's not quite true
16:50Look, Tony. You just you need space to heal from the breakup and I don't want to get in the way of that
17:01Hey
17:03What's fun while it lasted when it yeah
17:07Yeah, I see I am
17:17Hey, um, look I can't stop thinking about how Sienna's signed some prison cell because of us
