00:00Dad, please tell me this isn't who you snuck off to meet.
00:03Peri and I were perfect for each other.
00:05And you two are just gonna have to deal with it.
00:07I just keep thinking of Cleo.
00:09I can't let that be my little girl.
00:11I said don't touch me!
00:13Cleo?
00:14Rex.
00:15He's destroyed me, Leela.
00:17So I want to make him suffer.
01:00Hey, I'm so glad to see you.
01:08Not half as glad as I am to see you.
01:21Frankie, let me explain why you're gonna touch my Gigi!
01:23I'm not interested.
01:30Well, so much for clearing the air.
01:33Well, what did you expect?
01:35The trial's tomorrow and you completely betrayed Frankie's trust.
01:39Well, I want justice for Frankie every bit as much as you do.
01:43But ignoring JJ's texts and pretending it doesn't exist
01:46is not going to encourage him to tell the truth.
01:48Then how about we let the prosecution do their job and prove he's a liar?
01:53When I was in the police, I was involved in many rape cases.
01:56JJ's defence will do everything they can to discredit Frankie.
02:00But she's a good kid.
02:02But with a reputation for drinking, for lying, for lashing out.
02:05I know it's not fair,
02:06but Frankie's best chance of a good verdict in court for her tomorrow
02:10is if JJ admits what he did.
02:13Look, I don't know what you've heard about the night that James died,
02:19but you've every right to be angry.
02:24It was you.
02:25Wasn't it?
02:26No, Steeler, I'm really sorry.
02:29You mean it was you visiting me when I was in the coma?
02:36Reading to me?
02:38Playing me music?
02:39The nurse said any form of stimulation would help,
02:42so I read anything I could get my hands on.
02:46But Grace said I was wasting my time.
02:51Grace?
02:52She's my sister.
02:58You OK?
03:01My back.
03:02I'll get someone.
03:03No, stay.
03:06Rex.
03:10It's only you that I want.
03:14Tell me everything.
03:16Yeah.
03:19I owe you.
03:22And I'm going to pay you back for everything that you've done.
03:31Yes?
03:35My daughter, eh?
03:36Um...
03:37And what if she is?
03:38Look, Pez, I don't want a fight.
03:40I've got enough going on with our stay.
03:41Then please stop checking up on me like I'm some child.
03:44I'm not.
03:45Just making sure you're safe.
03:46I am safe.
03:48In fact, me and Ava are getting on so well,
03:50we're going on a little break, aren't we, after my shift?
03:52Why don't you go and pack with your mum?
03:54Have a little chat with her.
03:54Be easy with me out the way, eh?
03:56Yeah, I heard Lisbon's got loads of cool bars.
03:58Lisbon, here we come.
04:00See you later.
04:00See you.
04:20Listen, work's crazy this week, right?
04:22But once this trial stuff's over,
04:23I'm taking you on a proper night out, hmm?
04:25And then how are you affording that?
04:27I'm not.
04:28Thanks, though.
04:30But my rich boyfriend can.
04:32Wait, so it's not even Ethan that you want anymore?
04:35I'll be treating her like a princess, you know?
04:37But if me looking like a million dollars is going to make Ethan
04:39see what he's missing before he marries that witch Sienna,
04:42then, you know, bonus.
04:46You're not supposed to be here.
04:49It's all right.
04:50I'm not scared of him anymore.
04:52You sure?
04:55Okay.
04:56So I'll wait for you.
05:00Just let me guess.
05:02Grandad's taken you for a cosy copper somewhere?
05:04He's the only one that's reached out to me
05:05since I've been in that foster home.
05:07And you're surprised?
05:11What's happened to your arm?
05:13Someone attack you?
05:14Would you be worried if they did?
05:16You really couldn't care less what happened to you?
05:18You don't have to do this.
05:20I miss you.
05:21I miss movie and pizza night with my family.
05:23Can you just go away?
05:25Tell the lawyer you lied.
05:26Tell them what we did was consensual.
05:28Mum would want you to help me.
05:33No, don't you dare bring her into this!
05:35I won't survive in prison.
05:37If you do this, my life is over.
05:39I'm gonna find out that she was my sister.
05:52I was surprised as everyone, you know.
05:54At the same time, everything clicked.
05:58My whole life, I've wondered why I was so damaged.
06:02And Grace had the answer to everything.
06:04Because it turns out that my old man was Fraser Black.
06:08But you never met him?
06:11He abandoned me from day one.
06:13My whole childhood, I've been in and out of care.
06:15Until Dave came along.
06:18Took me under his wing.
06:19Dave never told you about Fraser?
06:23I found a postcard from Fraser,
06:27asking Dave to take care of me,
06:29but to never tell me that Fraser was my dad.
06:33So there you go.
06:34My whole life has just been one big cover-up.
06:39I'm so sorry.
06:43Steve, do you remember anything from that day?
06:49The bomb?
06:51I remember James getting the all-clear from his health scare.
07:00I remember feeling happy because everything was gonna be okay.
07:14Then the car.
07:16Donny's car.
07:20Steve, Dave was blue.
07:24He killed James.
07:26Would you help him?
07:30No!
07:34What are you doing?
07:56Cleo?
08:04Cleo, can you hear me?
08:09Um, how long have I been asleep for?
08:12Last night, why didn't you come back?
08:15Yeah, I was gonna come back and check on you.
08:16I just...
08:18All that matters is that I'm here now,
08:19and I'm gonna take care of you, yeah?
08:24You okay?
08:26Oh, I think when I fell, I've hit myself on a nail.
08:31Let me see.
08:34Is it bad?
08:38This really hurts.
08:39Abe, I think I'm gonna have to go to hospital.
08:43I can't, can I?
08:44Because everybody hates me because I killed your mum and Suzanne.
08:49Abe, what am I gonna do?
08:50Hey, hey, hey, shh.
08:53I'm gonna take care of you, and I'm gonna sort it, okay?
08:57Yeah, yeah.
09:04Whoa!
09:05Hey, you still get your skills.
09:08Shame no one got to see them.
09:10Your mum was very proud of what you did in the pitch.
09:12I know, it's like I don't even exist.
09:14There's not a single photo of me on my dad's socials.
09:17He's ignored all my texts.
09:18How do you think that makes me feel?
09:20How you feel?
09:22Your sister has been in counselling for a year.
09:24That girl is having to rebuild her life piece by piece.
09:27You said you could help me.
09:28I can, but not if you help yourself.
09:30What does that even mean, Jack?
09:31It means tomorrow is the last chance for you to put things right.
09:35You have to be brave.
09:36Tell the truth.
09:36I told the truth.
09:38Come on, I'm a former detective.
09:40Do you think I'm stupid?
09:41Oh, just don't.
09:44We're done when I say we're done.
09:46Now start talking, because I'm not playing good cop anymore.
09:51MUSIC
10:01And don't you dare tell me to calm down.
10:03My dad's recovering from a coma and you're here attacking him.
10:06No, I am calling the police.
10:07Look, it's not what you think, OK?
10:09Your dad was asleep.
10:11All right, I was worried he wasn't breathing.
10:13So I checked on him and he woke in a panic, so I restrained him.
10:19Oh, is this true?
10:21Hey, how come you're here?
10:27I wasn't expecting you till later.
10:33Social services are on the way.
10:35They're going to give the baby to the adoptive parents,
10:37which thought I'd come and, you know, check,
10:40in case you changed your mind or anything.
10:42I mean, I feel so much better if you looked after him.
10:45I can't do it.
10:51Your baby.
10:54He deserves to have a proper family.
10:58If that's what you want.
11:04Why did you cover for me?
11:06Because your daughter adores you.
11:08And I can't let her see you that way.
11:10What way?
11:13A murderer, like you.
11:16You're the one who just tried to kill me.
11:18My husband is dead because of you.
11:22Yeah, and at first I blamed myself for what happened,
11:24but then I came to see you and it broke me.
11:26The more I visited, the more I confided in you.
11:29Why are you here, Rex?
11:31Why?
11:31Because I love you.
11:35Look, I know it's mad, okay?
11:38But with all the trauma and the chaos,
11:39you became my constant.
11:41You healed me.
11:43I hate you.
11:44Hating me won't bring James back or help your family.
11:47Just get out!
11:48Just get out!
11:49Please get out!
11:50Please get out!
11:50I don't ever want to see you face to face again.
11:52Just get out.
12:00How many times?
12:01Frankie was up for it.
12:02She wanted to have sex.
12:03These lies are going to tear you apart.
12:05How would you know?
12:06You've never done anything wrong in your life.
12:08I killed someone.
12:12Yes, I killed someone.
12:18I was a kid and my brother, Billy,
12:23got involved in a fight with some lads and I got dragged in.
12:27What happened?
12:28I hit the kid, Callum, and he died.
12:31I didn't fess up.
12:32I let Billy take the rap.
12:35What's this got to do with me?
12:37I lied and put myself and the people that I loved most
12:41through years of trauma.
12:43Don't do what I did, son.
12:45Frankie was up for it.
12:46I didn't do anything wrong.
12:48Frankie's your sister.
12:50Even if she did want sex with you, that's not normal.
12:54Just leave me alone.
12:55Look, son.
12:57I'm trying to understand.
12:59No, you're not.
13:01You're just making me out to be some kind of freak.
13:04I know you had a tough time.
13:06Darren wasn't around and Suzanne and Devil split up.
13:10Yeah, and mum was either at work or out drinking.
13:14And you and Frankie spent a lot of time on your own.
13:16Yeah, she was all I had.
13:18And you loved her to bits.
13:20Yeah.
13:22And then you crossed a line, started touching her.
13:26Oh, it wasn't like that.
13:27Then it got worse.
13:28You couldn't stop and you told Frankie not to tell anyone
13:32because you knew it was wrong.
13:34Oh, we knew we'd get in trouble.
13:37It was our secret.
13:38Finally, she told Darren.
13:39She was going to leave the dance school.
13:41Everything was just getting out of control.
13:42And you tried to take back control by putting Frankie back in her box
13:46and doing what you always did, forcing yourself upon her.
13:50No!
13:50Control and consent are two different things.
13:53JJ, you raped Frankie.
13:58You raped your sister.
14:01You don't understand.
14:04No one does.
14:07Right, Steve, we're going to go outside and get you some fresh air.
14:09Hopefully, cheer you up a little bit, okay?
14:11I don't want cheering up.
14:13I want Rex barred from the hospital.
14:17Hey, Rex is trying to help you.
14:19He called Diane and said that you and I need to have a little chat.
14:22I see.
14:22Your mates are that creep as well.
14:24Oi, I just bailed on a French pastry course to come and see you.
14:28Even bought you a vegan quiche serrane, which may I say is a game changer.
14:32I'm going to leave you guys to it.
14:37So, I hear the baby's going to see his new parents today.
14:40I want to talk about it.
14:43So, that's it?
14:45You're just going to let them take your grandson away?
14:48Lucas is in prison.
14:51Leah can't wait to get away from me.
14:52I've failed.
14:54How long I known you, Steve?
14:5515, nearly 20 years?
14:58And in all that time, everything you've been through,
15:00one thing that's never changed is when the chips are down,
15:03you've always come out fighting for the people you love.
15:05Tony...
15:05Now, I know you've got a massive challenge to rebuild your body and your life,
15:08and we'll all support you.
15:10And when I open my new restaurant,
15:12you're the first chef on the top of my list when you're back on your feet.
15:14We'll all muck in.
15:15But, Steve, you want that little boy, it's now or never.
15:19You've got to fight for your family one more time.
15:23OK, last one.
15:26All clean.
15:28Right, I've got you some bandages and some painkillers,
15:30and I've got you some antibiotics to keep you going, all right?
15:34What for?
15:36Just looking after me and making me feel safe.
15:45Hey, I'm sorry about last night.
15:48Trying to make you stay and just being all clingy.
15:54This only happened because it was me.
15:55It's my fault.
15:59Do you want to stay and watch a movie?
16:02I missed you.
16:03These are for you.
16:05What?
16:06Going away for a couple of days.
16:07You're leaving me on my own?
16:08You tried to run away, didn't you?
16:10Yeah, that was a mistake.
16:11Yes, and you're a good girl for coming back,
16:13but I need you to understand that you can never do that ever again.
16:17Well, I do understand.
16:19Abe, I love you.
16:20And I love you too.
16:23And if you miss me, that's a good thing.
16:27But no, wait, I don't want you to go.
16:30Look, Abe, Abe, please.
16:33Abe, please don't leave me on my own in here.
16:37Abe!
16:49I am so sorry that I can't care for you.
16:53Leah, we need to go now.
16:58All right, come on, beautiful boy.
17:03Oh, I love you.
17:04Leah!
17:06Don't do it.
17:08She's not doing it.
17:10I mean, I'm going to...
17:11What your dad's trying to say is that he wants to raise your baby.
17:15He said...
17:16Yeah, I know.
17:18But it's only made me realise that I've...
17:20I've never given up on my family and I'm not going to now.
17:27No, I'm sorry.
17:32I'm sorry.
17:45Look, I'll be back in a sec, yeah?
17:51I thought you weren't coming.
17:53I thought you said he was going to his new parents today.
17:56There's been a change of plans.
17:58My dad's going to arrive.
17:59Your dad?
18:01Leah, you can't be serious.
18:02I thought what I said, but he's my baby and he deserves to be with his family.
18:06Leah, he might be yours, but he's also mine too.
18:08And soon Lucas is going to be living under the same roof as him.
18:12If Lucas ever finds out what we did, I'll never forgive you.
18:21JJ, your son.
18:23Thanks.
18:25I know you've got goodness in you, son.
18:28But you have to show it.
18:29You have to show remorse.
18:31And if you think that grilling I gave you earlier was tough,
18:34tomorrow's going to be tougher.
18:36Frankie's prepared.
18:37She's got her truth and she's going to tell it.
18:39She's not going to hold back in the witness stand.
18:43How did it feel when you told the truth about Cullen?
18:49Painful.
18:51Traumatic.
18:52But it lifted the weight off my shoulders.
18:55JJ, you've got a chance.
18:57You have to go to court tomorrow and plead guilty.
19:00Understandably, Frankie won't stop until she gets justice.
19:05And it's only then that your life can begin again.
19:19Oi, Frankie!
19:21Look, Robbie's already had a go at me for you being wasted and too young and itty.
19:23If he comes in and sees you...
19:25It's fine, I'll just go and party somewhere else then.
19:28No, Frankie, you've got court tomorrow, okay?
19:31If you talk late or stinking abuse, it's not going to look good, is it?
19:34What if they use it against you?
19:35Who are you?
19:36My mum.
19:37Oh no, wait, because she's dead.
19:39Frankie, stop, okay?
19:41I'm your friend.
19:42You've had enough.
19:42Yeah, you're right, I have had enough.
19:44I've had enough of you and everybody else telling me what to do.
19:50Frankie, where are you going?
19:53Frankie, come on, home time.
19:54Come on.
19:55Let's party!
