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 Kara wasn't Joel's.
00:16I've just been feeling really sad.
00:18Really lonely.
00:30MUSIC PLAYS
00:55It's just a bit of a big frame, isn't it, Grace?
00:58Pipes are on the side.
01:00So are you the one, yeah?
01:07I won't go in there if I were you.
01:08Why?
01:23Hello?
01:28Feast your 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.
01:43MUSIC PLAYS
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, or he might get the wrong idea.
02:04He won't.
02:05He won't.
02:06Do you know what?
02:07In my opinion, you're probably better off with Sienna Blake than Joel
02:10and the, wow, like, rathiest sign or something.
02:12Mercedes, you don't even know the full story.
02:14Leela's far from perfect.
02:15You don't know, Donny!
02:16What's up, Donny?
02:17Oh, kids!
02:19You know what I do?
02:20You know what it is.
02:21That 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?
02:41I 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.
02:53And no arrests being made.
02:55It's almost as if...
02:57a perpetrator...
03:00got someone on the inside.
03:03You'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...
03:16Is this what you're interested in?
03:18Is it?
03:19I wonder what's in it.
03:21Ketamine.
03:22Ammunition.
03:23Chloroform.
03:27The person I was meeting was my wife.
03:29She was bringing me a few essentials.
03:31I was giving her some housekeeping money.
03:33Is that all right with you, Columbo?
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.
03:41I'm not perfect.
03:43Diane doesn't know I'm married.
03:45I told my wife I was going to some...
03:46golf tournament.
03:48But that is as far as my misdemeanours go.
03:50Where have you been?
04:00You know, I was about to call the police.
04:02Er...
04:03It's with Tommy.
04:04Tommy?
04:05What, you been there all night?
04:06Honestly, I didn't really think you'd care.
04:08Joe, I've been trying to ring and text you.
04:11Yeah.
04:12Out of a sense of duty.
04:14Nothing more.
04:16What are you on about?
04:17Seriously, 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.
04:29It's not what you said.
04:31It would be easier if Cara wasn't Joel's.
04:34And then I could leave him.
04:36It's awful to admit.
04:37But my life with Joel is over.
04:40So?
04:41What do you say to that?
04:42Oh, it's John Paul at the engagement party tomorrow.
04:49Just saying he's delighted that Mercedes can come now she'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, so he's probably been held up somewhere.
05:20Sorry.
05:23There 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.
05:31Do you not want to hear from a professional first?
05:34Perry's right.
05:35I'm sick with worry.
05:36And 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?
05:55Perry?
05:56I think you should take a seat.
06:05Joel, I swear down I never said that.
06:07Oh, it's your voice, Lila.
06:09Yeah, well it must be a fake or...
06:10Oh, you're lying.
06:11Because you didn't think that I'd hear it, right?
06:12No.
06:13Look, I can't stay here.
06:14I can't stay here.
06:15No, stop.
06:16Just stop, please!
06:18If I'd have said that, then it would have meant that I wanted Abe to be Clara's dad.
06:24Mm-hmm.
06:26That I wanted that man, that rapist, to be the father of my little girl.
06:33Well, you did say those words, Lila.
06:38Well, you can't carry on like this.
06:40I'm going to do what I should have done last night.
06:41I'm going to call the police, I'm going to give them that recording, and then they can figure out...
06:44But you can't get them involved.
06:46Why not?
06:48Because it'll be me that gets in trouble.
06:50Joel, what are you talking about?
06:53Look, I need to tell you the truth.
06:54It's about me and Tommy.
07:01I've been drugged.
07:03Not necessarily, Sienna.
07:05They said you have a drug in your system.
07:06They didn't say why.
07:08So how did it get there?
07:09I mean, it's so tits to me.
07:10Well, that's unlikely.
07:11I mean, who would do something like that?
07:14Sorry.
07:15It'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.
07:23Somebody has targeted me.
07:25I'm not.
07:26I just don't think jumping to conclusions is going to help.
07:29Ms, 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.
07:38OK, but there's some unknown drug in my system, and it's giving me all of these terrible side effects.
07:42Sienna, it's really not my place.
07:44OK, but it couldn't have got there by accident, right?
07:46I'm not on any medication, I'm not taking anything that I shouldn't, so I should really speak to the police, no?
07:51No.
07:52No.
07:53I mean, I'm sure the hospital would have reported it if there's anything to be concerned about.
07:57Right, Miss Burke?
07:59I 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 have MND.
08:11And whatever else is going on, I promise you I will help you get to the bottom of it.
08:14OK?
08:16OK.
08:17Come here.
08:18So, had you relapsed?
08:22Or was you doing drugs before then?
08:24Yeah, my world was spinning at the time.
08:29And I just wanted something to make it stop.
08:31It was the night before you told me about Clara.
08:35I ended up in some club and Tommy was there.
08:38He was having a hard time.
08:40Some older fella was leaning into him.
08:43I shouldn't have got involved, but I felt sorry for him.
08:52I hit the other guy.
08:55Hard.
08:58His name was Billy.
08:59I mean, I didn't really think much more about it because it was just...
09:05It was just a punch.
09:08But then Tommy came back into our lives.
09:12And?
09:14He told me that Billy was his brother.
09:17And that one...
09:19punch...
09:23just left him in a coma.
09:29a little bit, a little bit of love
09:36goes a pretty long way
09:39take a look at...
09:40we started from
09:42where you are today
09:44high mountains, my emotions
09:46you can't look down
09:48you can't go away
09:50and you know you've got to stay
09:52a little bit of love goes a pretty long way
09:54hello?
09:56all your wounds are
09:59why?
10:01what is it?
10:04what's happened?
10:06Leela, please talk to me!
10:08why didn't Tommy say anything?
10:11I mean, why didn't he report you?
10:14because he said he'd
10:16keep the attack a secret
10:18if I kept him close
10:20like a brother
10:22a brother?
10:24you mean like a replacement
10:27for the man lying in hospital?
10:29seriously Joel, what have you done?
10:31look, I'm sorry
10:33no, you have put
10:35our whole family in danger
10:37but what, to save your own skin?
10:39letting a stranger blackmail you?
10:41instead of just owning up?
10:43if I do it, we'd be in prison
10:45so what do we do then?
10:47we just spend the rest of our lives
10:49living under Tommy's control
10:51this has to stop
10:54it's time to tell the truth Joel
10:57you mean go to the police?
11:01confess
11:02you mean go to the police?
11:03yes
11:04it's time to help you
11:06you mean go to the police?
11:08yeah some of the police
11:10you need to verify
11:11and you need to know
11:12you need to make your own
11:14look at your own
11:16home
11:17who is there?
11:18the rest of the day. Will they let you come home? Once you've told them?
11:25I don't know. Listen, I only kept this as a secret phone because I didn't want to worry
11:32you. Really? Are you being honest? Or is it just convenient? You know, a reason for you
11:39to keep lying? Why would you ask that? Because Joel, look us. We're messed up. It's easy
11:45for us to keep things from each other rather than tell the truth. But here we are. But
11:51despite all this, I do love you, you know. But I've got to ask, is there anything else
11:59that you're not telling me? You know, before we go and speak to the police, is there anything
12:03that I need to know? I can't deal with another secret. No. No, there's nothing else.
12:15Hey, Nancy called. Dylan and Frankie are safe. They're staying with a friend in Manchester.
12:25Oh, nice one. Hey, got the address? I could check it out. No, but at least they've made
12:32contact. Are you all right? Do you remember when I said I had suspicions about somebody
12:44that? Hmm? It's Banks. Alistair? Diane's Alistair? Not strictly Diane's. He's married.
12:54Well, what are we supposed to do with that information? I don't mean to be dismissive, but Diane's love
13:00life is the least of my worries. I accused him of being bent. There's something about him.
13:08I can't quite put the pieces together, but it will. You know, the anonymous texts, the
13:13kids getting off. I've got a bad feeling. Oh! Right, I am off. Hey, your very handsome
13:20work colleague is risking me away to the lakes for the night. Sounds exciting. I'll bring you
13:24back some fudge. See ya. Bye. Well, that's horrible. We're going to have to tell her.
13:36No, we can't. Look, Miss, I've got to be 100% sure. And you've only just found this out
13:42now? Yeah. So the brother's in a coma, and this Tommy's blackmailing Joel? Yeah. I mean,
13:53how could he? You know, when Joel told me, I felt sick. Look, Leela, last night was... Oh,
14:03it's okay. I told her that Joel came here and you sent him packing. But when he was here,
14:08did he mention all about Tommy? No. Why? Oh, it's nothing. Don't need everyone knowing. Okay. I've
14:22got to get to Pez. See if she'll sort the kids. Right, but listen, Joel will probably
14:27go down for GBH. That'll only be a few years. Only? Maybe less with good behaviour, but look,
14:35he goes inside for a little bit. He pays for his mistake, he comes back out and yous get
14:39to start again. Leela, you love that man. And that alone will get you both through this,
14:45yeah? Come here. You've always got me.
14:51John. Been ringing you? Sorry, Cleo. The phone's been off. I didn't see no. Oh, sorry.
15:04Leela was at our house really upset. I thought she'd found out about last night. You didn't
15:07tell her. No, I didn't tell her. She was going on about a Tommy? Mm. Joel, this has to stay
15:14between us. It will. It didn't even mean anything anyway. You were upset. I was just a bit lonely.
15:21Cleo, I get it. It's not as if I can do anything else to hurt her any more, is it? Right, so
15:26we agree. No one can find out. It was just a mistake. Yeah. I did a long line. I need
15:33to go make things right. Pez. Hey, what are you doing here? Did you get me text? Oh, no,
15:40sorry, I've been on the rounds. Well, can you put the kids up later, please? What's the time?
15:44Yeah, we can make that. You all right? You seem better? Yeah, I'll tell you later.
15:49Hey. Please wait, I'll be here.
15:53Prior to hospital admission with traumatic brain injury, sudden loss of output, CPR commenced
15:56one minute ago. Billy? Let's make it Irish. I'm not going to be
16:09accepting drinks from anyone until we get to the bottom of this. Oh, good. But let's
16:14focus on the good news, eh? That you don't have MND. Yeah. You don't have MND? No. Yesterday
16:23when I saw you, I'd been having some tests, and that's amazing. I'll tell you that. Let's
16:32not do this again. Okay? I'm guessing Liberty told you what Perry said at the hospital. Look,
16:39see, I know, after the whole barley thing, I was really hurt. Perry was telling me all
16:47kinds of things about you, saying that she'd keep my distance. Right? But I would never say
16:53that. She was just exaggerating like she always does. The truth is, I don't want to stay away.
17:03Me neither. You've been given some amazing news. We should celebrate. Well, we should
17:12probably hang fire on the celebrating right now. I don't have MND, but they did this screening,
17:18and they found some unknown substance in my system. So I need to find out exactly who put
17:23it there. This thing with Banks, how bad is it? I mean, you're not going to get into trouble,
17:36are you? Hey, cross nuts. Donny's becoming more than just a bit of a problem. He's getting
17:50too close to the truth. That's all he would do. For now, we observe. But if he is onto our
18:03operation, then we shut him down. And in all honesty, I don't care what it takes to do
18:13that.
18:18Oh, hey, Miss Bear. I'm just getting a few snacks for the road. I can't believe Alice there
18:23is spoiling me like this. Miss Bear, Diane. Have either of you seen my mum? No. No. What
18:29is it? I've just been with Marie. She's a total mess. She's had a visit from the police. Maxine's
18:36confessed to Abe's murder. What? Maxine? He tried to attack her. You know, how he did
18:42me and my mum. She killed him. The police are out looking for her and Minnie now. Well,
18:46I know she left in a hurry, but if I'm honest, I hope she outruns them. Lives a happy life.
18:51Because she did the world a favour getting rid of that man.
19:03Tom, are you sure to join my dad? No, I'll come. We've got to go.
19:08What? Right, what's going on? Are you scared of me?
19:13I went to hospital to see our prayers. Bumped into Tommy. He was there visiting Billy.
19:20And? And while I was there, Billy crashed.
19:24What do you mean he crashed? I don't know, Joel. It all just happened so fast, so I waited
19:29in reception for any news, and Tommy came out and told me that Billy died.
19:34He's dead.
19:37The doctors couldn't save him.
19:40Joel, you can't hand yourself in.
19:43Right, you can't tell the police.
19:45It won't just be a quick stint in prison.
19:48You'll be charged with murder.
20:04Or you owned by a group of support.
20:06I don't know.
20:08I can't tell.
20:11I don't know if you're missing the
