00:01Things don't seem to be adding up at the moment.
00:05You promised you'd stay away from Sienna,
00:06and you actually admitted she was crazy.
00:08Did you really say that?
00:09There is only one person at fault in this situation,
00:11and that's clear.
00:14It would be easier if Cara wasn't Joel's.
00:16I've just been feeling really sad, really lonely.
00:30MUSIC PLAYS
00:55It's just a bit of a spin frame.
00:57Is it great?
00:58Wipes on the side.
01:00So are you with one, yeah?
01:07I won't go in there if I will.
01:08Why?
01:23Hello?
01:28If you see her eyes on them.
01:38Look, it is nothing I haven't smelled before.
01:40And I've got a stroma, not a catheter.
01:41So please, just move.
01:43I haven't tried to keep her from her.
01:46She was about to see.
01:48Why should she be in the peace when that's over again?
01:53Anyway, what happened when Joel rocked up last night
01:55with his puppy dog eyes and pathetic excuses again?
01:58Nothing, we were just talking.
02:00Yeah?
02:01Well, I'd stay away.
02:02Or he might get the wrong idea.
02:04He won't.
02:05Do you know what?
02:06In my opinion, you're probably better off with Sienna Blake than Joel
02:10and, wow, like, really insane summer.
02:12Mercedes, you don't even know the full story.
02:14Real is far from perfect.
02:15Oh, you don't get it!
02:16Oh, kids!
02:18What I do know is that that man is full of rubbish.
02:23And you should be swerving him.
02:31What are you doing following me, Donny?
02:33You sent me a wild goose chase to some dealer.
02:36Dead-end lead.
02:38So what are you paying cash for in these photos?
02:42I don't need to tell you anything.
02:44Drugs, Alistair.
02:46Murder.
02:47Assault.
02:48Reports of kidnapping.
02:49Kids on the run.
02:50Files gone missing.
02:52And no arrests being made.
02:54It's almost as if the perpetrator got someone on the inside.
03:02You're not insinuating that I've got anything to do with any of this, are you?
03:06It was only a few weeks ago that Freddie Roscoe came to me
03:08saying he thought that you were corrupt.
03:12I never took that seriously.
03:14So why would you?
03:15Is this what you're interested in?
03:18Is it?
03:19I wonder what's in it.
03:20Ketamine.
03:21Ammunition.
03:23Chloroform.
03:27The person I was meeting was my wife.
03:29She was bringing me a few essentials.
03:30I was giving her some housekeeping money.
03:32Is that alright with you?
03:33Columbo.
03:34I just thought...
03:35I just thought.
03:36I thought.
03:37What did you think?
03:38That I'm involved in some...
03:39bloody hell.
03:40I'm not perfect.
03:42Diane doesn't know I'm married.
03:44I told my wife I was going to some golf tournament.
03:47But that is as far as my misdemeanours go.
03:58Where have you been?
04:00You know, I was about to call the police.
04:02Yeah.
04:03It was with Tommy.
04:04Tommy?
04:05What, you been there all night?
04:06Honestly, I didn't really think you'd care.
04:09Joe, I've been trying to ring and text you.
04:12Yeah.
04:13Out of a sense of duty.
04:15Nothing more.
04:17What are you on about?
04:18Seriously, where is this coming?
04:20Oh.
04:21Tommy.
04:22Mm-hmm.
04:23Go on then.
04:24What's the little wizard been saying to you now?
04:27It's not what he said.
04:29But what you said.
04:31It would be easier if Cara wasn't Joel's.
04:34And then I could leave him.
04:35It's awful to admit.
04:37But my life with Joel is over.
04:40So?
04:41What do you say to that?
04:47Ah, it's John Paul.
04:48At the engagement party tomorrow.
04:49Just saying he's delighted that Mercedes can come now.
04:51She's been released.
04:55Has Cleo mentioned anything about how she's doing?
04:57It just seems odd that she's suddenly been released out of the blue.
05:01I haven't spoken to Cleo.
05:03I can't stand this waiting.
05:05I'm sure everything will be fine.
05:07How are you sure?
05:08I think we can all see there is something very wrong here.
05:10I mean, your legs don't just randomly stop working.
05:14Oh, Perry.
05:15Do you know how long Dr Mackleton will be?
05:17We're really short-staffed today,
05:18so he's probably been held up somewhere.
05:20Sorry.
05:22There is something seriously wrong with me.
05:25You don't get called back in this quickly to get good news, do you?
05:28You haven't even been diagnosed yet.
05:30I agree.
05:32Do you not want to hear from a professional first?
05:34Perry's right.
05:35I'm sick with worry, and my mind's going to all of the worst places.
05:38I spent the last few weeks thinking that I've got motor neurone disease, and now I just don't know what to think.
05:43I could get fired for this.
05:45If I read you your results, do you promise not to tell anyone?
05:47Perry?
05:48Perry?
05:49I think you should take a seat.
05:50Perry?
05:51I think you should take a seat.
05:52Joel, I swear down I never said that.
05:54Oh, it's your voice, Nila.
05:55Yeah, well, it must be a fake, or...
05:56Oh, you're lying, because you didn't think that I'd hear it, right?
06:00No!
06:01Look, I can't stay here.
06:02No, stop.
06:03Just stop, please!
06:05If I'd have said that, then it would have meant that I wanted Abe to be Clara's dad.
06:10Mm-hm.
06:12That I wanted that man, that rapist.
06:15to be the father of my little girl.
06:16Oh, you did say those words, Nila.
06:18We can't carry on like this.
06:20I'm gonna do what I should've done last night.
06:22I'm gonna call the police, I'm gonna give him that recording, and then they can figure
06:24out...
06:25No, stop.
06:26Stop!
06:27Just stop, please!
06:28Stop, stop!
06:29Stop!
06:30Stop!
06:31Stop!
06:32Stop, please!
06:33If I'd have said that, then it would have meant that I wanted Abe to be Clara's dad.
06:36Mm-hm.
06:37That I wanted that man, that rapist, to be the father of my little girl.
06:40Well, you did say those words, Nila.
06:41last night. I'm gonna call the police, I'm gonna give them that recording, and then they
06:44can figure out...
06:45But you can't get them involved.
06:46Why not?
06:47Because it'll be me that gets in trouble.
06:49Joel, what are you talking about?
06:51Look, I need to tell you the truth.
06:56It's about me and Tommy.
06:57I've been drugged.
07:02Well, not necessarily, Sienna.
07:05They said you have a drug in your system, they didn't say why.
07:08So how did it get there?
07:09I mean, it's not this to me.
07:10Well, that's unlikely.
07:11I mean, who would do something like that?
07:14Sorry, it's John Paul at the party again.
07:18Don't worry, I'll get Mark to help me.
07:20It's not that.
07:21It's the fact that you were dismissing that something happened to me.
07:24Somebody has targeted me.
07:26I'm not.
07:26I just don't think jumping to conclusions is gonna help.
07:29Ms. Buck, can you help me?
07:31Can I talk to you about some test results that I had?
07:34Oh, well, that would really have to be with the doctor who authorised the tests.
07:38But there's some unknown drug in my system and it's giving me all of these terrible side
07:41effects.
07:42Sienna, it's really not my place.
07:44Okay, but it couldn't have got there by accident, right?
07:47I'm not on any medication.
07:48I'm not taking anything that I shouldn't, so I should really speak to the police.
07:51No.
07:52I mean, I'm sure the hospital would have reported it if there's anything to be concerned about.
07:56Right, Ms. Buck?
07:58Oh, I really need to get home.
08:00I'm sorry I couldn't help.
08:02Thanks.
08:03Look, Sienna, I think we should go home and tell the family the good news, that you don't
08:09have MND.
08:10And whatever else is going on, I promise you I will help you get to the bottom of it.
08:14Okay?
08:15Okay.
08:16Come here.
08:19So, had you relapsed?
08:22Or was you doing drugs before then?
08:24Yeah, my world was spinning at the time.
08:28And I just wanted something to make it stop.
08:31It was the night before you told me about Clara.
08:34I ended up in some club and Tommy was there.
08:38He was having a hard time.
08:40Some older fella was laying into him.
08:43I shouldn't have got involved, but...
08:46I feel sorry for him.
08:51I hit the other guy.
08:54Hard.
08:57His name was Billy.
08:59I mean, I didn't really think much more about it because it was just...
09:04It was just a punch.
09:07But then Tommy came back into our lives.
09:11And?
09:12He told me that Billy was his brother.
09:15And that one...
09:18punch...
09:21just left him in a coma.
09:24a little bit, a little bit of love goes a pretty long way.
09:39We started from where you are today.
09:43High mountains, my emotions.
09:45You can't look down, you can't go away.
09:48In the end, you know you've got to stay.
09:50A little bit of love goes a pretty long way.
09:53Hello?
09:58Why?
10:00What is it?
10:03What's happened?
10:05Weaver, please talk to me!
10:08Why didn't Tommy say anything?
10:11I mean, why didn't he report you?
10:13Because he said he'd keep the attack a secret.
10:17If I kept him close.
10:19Like a brother.
10:21A brother?
10:23You mean like a replacement?
10:26For the man lying in hospital?
10:28Seriously Joel, what have you done?
10:30Look, I'm sorry.
10:31No, you've put our whole family in danger.
10:35But what, to save your own skin?
10:37Letting a stranger blackmail you?
10:40Instead of just owning up?
10:42If I do it, it would mean prison.
10:45So what do we do then?
10:47We just spend the rest of our lives living under Tommy's control?
10:50This has to stop.
10:53It's time to tell the truth, Joel.
10:56You mean go to the police?
11:00Confess.
11:01The island says she can have Clara for the rest of the day.
11:18Would they let you come home?
11:21Like you've told them.
11:22What you've told them?
11:24I don't know.
11:28Listen, I only kept this a secret for because I didn't want to worry you.
11:31Really? Are you being honest?
11:34Or is it just convenient?
11:37You know, a reason for you to keep lying?
11:39Why would you ask that?
11:40Because Joel, look us.
11:42We're messed up.
11:44It's easy for us to keep things from each other rather than tell the truth.
11:48But here we are.
11:50But despite all this,
11:53I do love you, you know.
11:56But I've got to ask, is there anything else that you're not telling me?
12:00You know, before we go and speak to the police, is there anything that I need to know?
12:03I can't deal with another secret.
12:08No.
12:10No, there's nothing else.
12:12Hey, Nancy called. Dylan and Frankie are safe.
12:22They're staying with a friend in Manchester.
12:24Oh, nice one.
12:26Hey, got the address? I could check it out.
12:29No.
12:30But at least they've made contact.
12:32Are you all right?
12:41Do you remember when I said I had suspicions about somebody in work?
12:44Hmm?
12:45It's Banks.
12:47Alistair.
12:49Diane's Alistair.
12:51Not strictly Diane's.
12:53He's married.
12:54Well, what are we supposed to do with that information?
12:57I don't mean to be dismissive, but Diane's love life is the least of my worries.
13:02I accused him of being bent.
13:05Look, I've got something about him.
13:08I can't quite put the pieces together, but I will.
13:11You know, the anonymous texts the kids get enough.
13:13I've got a bad feeling.
13:14Oh!
13:16Right, I am off.
13:18Hey, your very handsome work colleague is risking me away to the leaks for the night.
13:22Sounds exciting.
13:23I'll bring you back some fudge.
13:25See ya.
13:26Bye.
13:27Well, that's horrible.
13:33We're going to have to tell her.
13:35No, we can't.
13:36Look, Miss.
13:37I've got to be 100% sure.
13:40And you've only just found this out now?
13:42Yeah.
13:44So the brother's in a coma, and this Tommy's blackmailing Joel?
13:49Yeah.
13:51I mean, how could he?
13:54You know, when Joel told me, I felt sick.
14:00Look, Leela, last night was...
14:03Oh, it's okay.
14:04I told her that Joel came here and you sent him packing.
14:07But when he was here, did he mention all about Tommy?
14:11No, why?
14:12Oh, it's nothing.
14:18Don't need everyone knowing.
14:19Okay.
14:21I've got to get to Pez.
14:23See if she'll sort the kids.
14:24Right, but listen.
14:26Joel will probably go down for GBH.
14:28That'll only be a few years.
14:30Only?
14:31Maybe less with good behaviour, but...
14:33Look, he goes inside for a little bit.
14:36He pays for his mistake, he comes back out and you get to start again.
14:40Leela, you love that man.
14:43And that alone will get you both through this, yeah?
14:46Come here.
14:48You've always got me.
14:55John.
14:57Been ringing you.
14:58Sorry, Cleo.
14:59Phone's been off.
15:00I didn't see no.
15:01Oh, sorry.
15:03Leela was at our house really upset.
15:05Thought she'd found out about last night.
15:06You didn't tell her.
15:07No, I didn't tell her.
15:09She was going on about a Tommy.
15:11Mm.
15:13Joel, this has to stay between us.
15:15It will.
15:17It didn't even mean anything anyway.
15:18You were upset.
15:19I was just a bit lonely.
15:20Cleo, I get it.
15:22It's not as if I can do anything else to hurt her anymore, is it?
15:26Right, so we agree.
15:27No one can find out.
15:28It was just a mistake.
15:30Yeah.
15:31To add to the long lane.
15:34I need to go and get things right.
15:37Pez.
15:38Hey, what are you doing here?
15:39Did you get me a text?
15:40Oh, no, sorry.
15:41I've been on the rounds.
15:42Well, can you put the kids up later, please?
15:43What's the time?
15:44Yeah.
15:45I can make that.
15:46You alright?
15:47You seem better?
15:48Yeah, I'll tell you later.
15:49Who?
15:50Please wait, I'll be here.
15:52Prior to hospital admission with traumatic brain injury.
15:54Sudden loss of alcohol.
15:55CPR commenced one minute ago.
16:01Billy?
16:06Let's make it Irish.
16:09I'm not going to be accepting drinks from anyone until we get to the bottom of this.
16:12Oh, good.
16:14But let's focus on the good news, eh?
16:16That you don't have MND.
16:17Yeah.
16:19You don't have MND?
16:20No.
16:21Yesterday, when I saw you, I'd been having some tests, and...
16:27That's amazing.
16:29I'll tell you that...
16:33Let's not do this again.
16:34Okay?
16:36I'm guessing Liberty told you what Perry said at the hospital.
16:41Look, Sienna, after the whole barley thing, I was really hurt.
16:46Perry was telling me all kinds of things about you.
16:48Saying that she'd keep my distance.
16:50Right?
16:52But I would never say that.
16:54She was just exaggerating like she always does.
16:57The truth is, I don't want to stay away.
17:03Me neither.
17:04You've been given some amazing news.
17:05We should celebrate.
17:06Well, we should probably hang a fire on the celebrating right now.
17:07I don't have MND, but they did this screening, and they found some unknown substance in my system.
17:21So I need to find out exactly who put it there.
17:23This thing with banks...
17:30How bad is it?
17:33I mean, you're not going to get into trouble, are you?
17:36Hey.
17:37Hey, cross nuts.
17:46Donny's becoming more than just a bit of a problem.
17:50He's getting too close to the truth.
17:51That's all we do.
17:52For now, we observe.
17:58But if he is onto our operation, then we shut him down.
18:06And, in all honesty, I don't care what it takes to do that.
18:18Oh, hey, Miss Bear.
18:19I'm just getting a few snacks for the road.
18:21I can't believe Alistair is spoiling me like this.
18:24Miss Bear.
18:25Diane.
18:27Have either of you seen my mum?
18:28No.
18:29What is it?
18:30I've just been with Marie.
18:31She's a total mess.
18:33She's had a visit from the police.
18:36Maxine's confessed to Abe's murder.
18:38What?
18:39Maxine?
18:40He tried to attack her.
18:41You know, how he did me and my mum.
18:43She killed him.
18:44The police are out looking for her and Minnie now.
18:46Well, I know she left in a hurry, but if I'm honest, I hope she outruns them.
18:50Lives a happy life.
18:52Because she did the world a favour getting rid of that man.
18:54What?
18:55Is that the police work?
18:56John.
18:57Are you still trying to get him?
18:58No.
18:59Come.
19:00We've got to go.
19:01What?
19:02Ah.
19:03Right, thank you.
19:04What's going on?
19:05Excuse me?
19:06Back up.
19:07Back up.
19:08We've got to go.
19:09What?
19:10Right.
19:11What's going on?
19:12Are you scaring me?
19:13I went to hospital to see our bears.
19:16Bumped into Tommy.
19:18He was there visiting Billy.
19:20And?
19:21And while I was there, Billy crashed.
19:24What do you mean he crashed?
19:26I don't know Joel, it all just happened so fast so I waited in reception for any news
19:31and Tommy came out and told me that Billy died.
19:35He's dead.
19:37Doctors couldn't save him.
19:40Joel, you can't hand yourself in.
19:42But you can't tell the police.
19:44It won't just be a quick stint in prison.
19:47You'll be charged with murder.
20:05Take care.
20:06Take care.
20:08Bye.
20:17Bye.
20:19Bye.
20:20Bye.
20:21Bye.
