00:00You sure it's him?
00:16The passer has already been formally identified by his wife.
00:20Did he leave a note?
00:21Go to your room and put your headphones on.
00:22Go now.
00:27He wanted me to withdraw my statement.
00:37He couldn't bear the thought of standing trial.
00:40We can never know what's going through a person's mind at a time like this, but what we can
00:45say with absolute certainty, this is not your fault.
00:54We'll need to take your statement.
00:56I'll be in touch in the morning.
00:58Well, thank you, Officer Tates.
01:06I reckon we could all do with a drink.
01:07No.
01:09Go to your bed.
01:18You just need a little touch.
01:26You all right?
01:55I bet you wished them two hadn't shown up.
01:58I knew it had to happen sometime.
02:01Yeah, but I mean, you wasn't expecting that, though, was you?
02:04Going behind your back, changing things up.
02:07It's not fair, Rhys.
02:09You need a drink.
02:11No.
02:12After the day you've had, hot chocolate ain't gonna cut it.
02:15Please, Jen, come on.
02:16Please, let me do this.
02:17I've given you so much grief the last couple of weeks, and, you know, Sonia would not want
02:23me behaving like this.
02:26Let me make it up to you, please.
02:31I'm sorry.
02:38Well, maybe just a while.
02:39Yes.
02:40Come on.
02:47Do you want me to have a word with Ian about what you said to Anna?
02:50I could do my concerned big brother routine.
02:52Don't you dare.
02:53I want you as far away from Ian as possible.
02:55How you doing, love?
02:58What the hell is he doing here?
02:59Come on, let's see him, let's see him.
03:00Come in.
03:02Quick, out of the booth.
03:03What?
03:04Get out.
03:05If you'll keep me waiting just for three more minutes,
03:08if I only want to talk to you, please.
03:11Don't say a word.
03:12Come in.
03:18Ian.
03:19Better late than never.
03:20Didn't have to come and get me, you know, Ian.
03:23I can't make it down Bridge Street on my own.
03:26We both know it doesn't take an hour to find a laptop.
03:30Come on, tell me the truth.
03:33Why are you really here?
03:38It's really all rather moorish.
03:41Funny word, isn't it?
03:42Moorish.
03:45Moorish.
03:46Well, take me out after your race,
03:48because relationships ain't easy.
03:52I mean, I sort of fell into most of mine, you know,
03:54like a drain I couldn't get out of.
03:56Of course, it's Auntie Dorothy has to take the real credit.
04:00Oh.
04:02To Dot.
04:08I mean, you've had two amazing relationships.
04:11I've barely had one.
04:13It's not true.
04:14Not what Brenda said.
04:16Me and Debbie.
04:18We were so mismatched on the outside,
04:21but on the inside, we were simpatico.
04:28Oh, it means on the same wavelength.
04:31Oh, so you didn't know that she'd change the wheel then.
04:35I mean, it's not fair, is it?
04:38Because if Debbie had a problem,
04:39she should have spoke to you about it, the heartless cow.
04:42Please don't speak about Debbie like that.
04:47Maybe it's time for that hot chocolate after all.
04:55You seriously expect me to believe it?
04:57You've been in this place all this time,
04:58giving it a good once-over.
05:00Yeah, well, I came in to find my laptop,
05:02and then I noticed the state of the place,
05:04so I thought I'd get my cloth out.
05:07But it's therapeutic.
05:08You relax by counting money.
05:10I relax by scrubbing grouting.
05:12How long have we known each other, love?
05:14Well, to avoid aging us both, I'd say a long time.
05:17And in that long time,
05:18I don't think you've even used the word grouting,
05:20never mind clean any.
05:21In fact, you bought a job lot of shammy leathers
05:23back in the 80s, and I swear,
05:24they are still in the loft, untouched by human hands.
05:27All right, Ian, you've proved your point.
05:32You are hiding in here.
05:38Must have upset her about the Anna thing.
05:44Well, do you blame me?
05:46Well, look, I've had time to think,
05:49and I shouldn't have spoke to her the way I did,
05:52I mean, especially what I said about her
05:54sniffing around Bobby's best mate.
05:56Yeah, well, I thought you might have forgiven me
05:57after 30 years.
05:59Yeah, well, Bobby being gone,
06:02maybe I'm finding it harder than I thought.
06:04Bobby will always be your son, Ian,
06:06and Anna will always be my daughter.
06:08Yeah, that was never gonna work out well for us, was it?
06:11The two of them dating?
06:13Yeah, very selfish of them, I thought.
06:15Yeah, it's like they weren't even thinking of us, was it?
06:18So, come on, let's leave the VAT, all right?
06:22Let's go home and watch a film.
06:23Yeah, sounds great.
06:25I'll see you at home, then.
06:28Ian, I really need to finish off this paperwork.
06:30It'll only take 10 minutes.
06:33I won't relax until I do it.
06:35I'll see you at home.
06:37Oh, sorry.
06:39Look, if you can't forget about doing the VAT
06:41and you obviously haven't forgiven me,
06:42then I will just wait here.
06:44I will wait here all night if I have to.
06:48Oh.
06:50You really are a pest sometimes, Ian.
06:54Come on.
07:08Come on.
07:31Great.
07:37Come on, come on, come on.
07:58I just wanted him to admit what he did.
08:01To acknowledge the...
08:05...damage.
08:07And the pain.
08:12I didn't want this.
08:14The man was too afraid to face justice,
08:17so he took things into his own hands.
08:20Suicide is never the answer.
08:24Nothing wrong with being glad that he did.
08:27I know I am.
08:30He asked me today...
08:33if I hated him.
08:38And the truth is...
08:42a bottomless burn and rage consumed me.
08:47Yes, understandable, dear.
08:48But that is not who I am, Patrick.
08:50That is not who I want to be.
08:55If it had been anyone else,
08:57if it had been anyone else who had taken their own life,
09:01I would have gone down on my knees and prayed for their soul.
09:05But he don't deserve it.
09:07I know that.
09:09But I have a need to find the compassion in me to...
09:16...to do it anyway.
09:19Please, God.
09:24I can do it.
09:28Maybe I can heal.
09:33I, um, think I'm gonna call it a night.
09:35Oh, look, I shouldn't have said that.
09:38I-I'm sorry. Look, come and sit down.
09:39Come on. Come and rest. Come and sit down.
09:43Look, I know you think I'm just some gobby cow,
09:45but I do know what it's like
09:47when someone you love doesn't love you back.
09:51And the funny thing is, you...
09:54...you don't blame them. You blame yourself.
09:56It's horrible.
10:00I don't understand how I could have got everything so wrong.
10:04No, I...
10:06I don't think you're the one that's wrong.
10:08I think they are.
10:10You know, every time I turn a corner,
10:14I've got someone trying to tell me that I ain't right.
10:18Do you know what I think about that, Rhys?
10:20Sod them.
10:22Sod the lot of them.
10:26Even Sonia can't be bothered with me half the time.
10:29Sonia always sees the best in me.
10:43Will she do anything to help me?
10:46Will she do anything to help me?
10:48She was even going to sell this place.
10:52Cos that's what love is, isn't it?
10:54It's not rewriting your will,
10:56making sure your grieving husband
10:58doesn't have anything proper to remember you by.
11:00I've spent everything...
11:04...on Debbie's care.
11:06Over ten years of marriage
11:08and I've got absolutely nothing to show for it.
11:10Over ten years of marriage
11:12and I've got absolutely nothing to show for it.
11:40I'm sorry.
12:02I'm sorry.
12:04I'm sorry.
12:06I'm sorry.
12:10I can't believe the way that Brenda spoke to you.
12:12I mean, if that was me, I'd have punched her in the face.
12:14I mean, if that was me, I'd have punched her in the face.
12:16What am I like?
12:18Look, using your letter as a coaster.
12:20Like it's nothing important.
12:22It's a...
12:24It's actually a letter
12:26about Debbie's life insurance.
12:28Life insurance.
12:30The police have put a stop on the money.
12:32That's why they think Sonia...
12:34Well, you know.
12:36So you thought you'd be getting a few quid then, did you?
12:39Where have you been?
12:41I've been texting you like mad.
12:43You know, you left your back door unlocked.
12:55How far is that?
12:57Twenty miles.
12:59About three hours?
13:01Roughly.
13:03I'll be out your air. I ain't finished with it yet.
13:32Listen, I'd let you have it till the morning.
13:34It's just a group chatter saying that there's some marsh aviaries over at Wallasey Island
13:37and I've got to be there first thing.
13:38Stuff your marsh, Atchis. This is life and death.
13:42I think Rhys is the one that killed his missus.
13:44How much have you had to drink?
13:46You don't believe me. No one is going to believe me unless I get him to confess on tape.
13:50Oh, that's why you wanted my birth recorded, isn't it?
13:52Sonia is innocent!
13:55This is the only thing that is going to get her out of prison.
13:58I have been throwing vodka down Rhys' throat all night
14:00and if you hadn't barged in, he would have spilled his guts by now.
14:02No, darling, this ain't good.
14:04You're going to get me caught up in some mad scheme.
14:06You're going to get me stood in front of a judge.
14:08Oh, turn it in, will you?
14:09Listen, the only reason I lent you my stuff was for the good karma.
14:12This ain't good. This is terrible.
14:15Look, I'm the one putting my neck on the line here.
14:17I will give you that stupid microphone back, but please, you've just got to go away.
14:25Actually, I think it might be better if he stays.
14:30Junior?
14:36Junior?
14:42He's gone so long, I had to go forward with him.
14:44Not the mint-choc chip. That's what Ian nicks when no-one else is looking.
14:47You know there will be a full-blown inquiry tomorrow if there's none left.
14:52What took you so long?
14:53I'm sorry, I couldn't get here any sooner.
14:55I mean, it could have been worse. Ian wants to watch Titanic.
14:58You'd have been stuck here all night.
15:01Oof!
15:02We were lucky.
15:04This nearly all blew up in our faces.
15:10Please stop doing that.
15:11Oh, what are you getting all let up about, Rhys?
15:13It was just amdram.
15:15Freddie's doing a play and I'm just helping him rehearse.
15:17All that, us talking, were you just trying to trick me the whole time?
15:23Can you blame me, Rhys?
15:25We both know you're not being honest.
15:27Not about Debbie, not about loads of stuff.
15:29I'm grieving. My partner's in prison.
15:31I'm focused on Sonia and then the campaign.
15:33Oh, bigging yourself up again, acting like Mr. R. Dunbar.
15:36I ain't buying it, Rhys.
15:38Cos I don't believe a single word that comes out of your mouth.
15:41I know it wasn't all sunshine and roses with you and Debbie,
15:43but, oh, that temper of yours.
15:45Brenda's got it in for me. It's like a vendetta.
15:47Wasn't news to me, because I've seen it, remember?
15:49The way you can kick off whenever you feel like it.
15:51I don't believe this. It's not true.
15:53Saw your face when you read that letter.
15:55Banking on that life insurance, were you?
15:57Horrible. The baby would have cost you a fortune.
15:59And the only way you could pay that back is if Debbie snuffed it.
16:02I mean, I call that emotive. What are you, Rhys?
16:04I'm not being hard. No, I know what it's like to be desperate.
16:06You'll do anything, anything. I'm grieving.
16:08And I don't even blame you for it. Stop it.
16:10Making my sister take the blame when she's pregnant with your baby.
16:13I mean, if that's not wicked, what is?
16:15Right, that's it. I'm calling an ambulance.
16:17No, I'll be fine. You're a good actor.
16:19I'll give you that old Meryl Streep over there.
16:21Just get her out. I need her out of my house.
16:23Your house? Your house? No!
16:25If Dot knew there was a little snake like you living in here,
16:28she'd be turning in her grave.
16:30Right, we're going. You're out of my life. Stop it, Freddie!
16:32I ain't doing what you tell me! I've got leggings that are older than you!
16:35I'm so sorry about all this, Rhys. This ain't over.
16:37I am going to get my sister out of prison, you murderer!
16:40And I am going to tell the world what you've done!
16:42I am going to scream it until somebody believes me!
16:45Can we just go now? You idiot!
16:48I have let my sonia down! I've let her down!
16:51Let's just go. Stop crying. I'll take you to Katz.
16:53Leave me alone!
16:56Rhys, I'm so sorry about all this.
17:17Hello?
17:35Hello?
17:37KNOCK ON DOOR
17:46Hello?
17:48It's me.
17:50Stella.
18:01I'm so sorry.
18:03I didn't know where else to go.
18:09Go inside.
18:29Oh!
18:31Where have you been?
18:33I mean, I woke up, you weren't here.
18:35I went to put the bins out.
18:36Last time I saw you, you were snoring for England.
18:39Exciting life we lead, innit?
18:41Still, almost 35 years after we first got married,
18:44it'd be a bit weird if we were still swinging from the chandeliers.
18:48Still, didn't think we ever were.
18:50Maybe we'll do it again one day.
18:52Oh, and the marriage bit, I mean.
18:55I must surprise you. I propose when you least expect it.
18:58Hang on, you'll turn for the dishwasher.
19:00Turn the lights out before you come up, won't you?
19:03I'm sorry about how I was before.
19:07What I asked of you.
19:12I wanted to believe in him so much.
19:17I did for so long.
19:21I believed in my husband like I believed in God.
19:29I'm sorry, Elendi.
19:35Your husband was not God.
19:41I know that, but...
19:44perhaps he was mine.
19:49Can I even truly call myself a woman of faith?
19:55Of course you can.
19:59If...
20:02If I could go back,
20:06a Christian woman would have known.
20:13Relationships are never straightforward.
20:18Not with our men.
20:21Not even with God.
20:24Stella, you are brave.
20:28And you are not to be blamed.
20:34I've just been walking.
20:38My thoughts going round and round in my head.
20:44Somehow I found myself walking here.
20:51You did the right thing.
20:59I wouldn't have refused you.
21:02Not tonight.
21:17He sent me a voice note.
21:22I've been trying to pluck up the courage to listen.
21:29I don't think I can do it on my own.
21:42I tried to get her to come here, but she just ran off to her taco van.
21:46You've done nothing wrong, all right?
21:48You should have seen her.
21:50I was making out like she let Sonia down and the things she was saying to Rhys.
21:54Is she all right, do you think?
21:56No. No, she's not all right.
21:59She hasn't been all right for a long time, to be honest.
22:01She needs help.
22:02Yeah, tell me about it.
22:04What can I do? Drag her by her hair to the doctors? Tie her to a chair?
22:08I just think if Sonia was here, then she'd sort her out.
22:11But she's not here, is she? And Bea ain't listening to anything I've got to say.
22:15She can't go on like this.
22:17There must be someone that can do something to help her.
22:27Wait.
22:31I don't think I can.
22:43You've seen the truth of a man you cared for.
22:47And lost.
22:49All in one day.
22:52And now you're worried.
22:56What if there is more?
23:03What if he unburdens himself and those burdens are left on you?
23:09I'm scared.
23:12I know.
23:17But what can you do?
23:20But what can he say that is worse than what you already know?
23:36My darling Stella,
23:38I want you to know that I understand why you felt you had to go.
23:44These past months have been unbearable.
23:47I wish I could have relieved some of the pressure.
23:52But I simply cannot admit to allegations that aren't true.
24:00You know I am completely and wholly innocent.
24:06You don't deserve any of this.
24:10I know I should have been brave enough to say all this in person, my darling.
24:18I am innocent.
24:25Hush. Hush. Hush.
24:28Hush.
24:32Hush, sister. Hush.
24:48Hi, Ricky, it's Kat.
24:51Listen, I know it's late, but...
24:54I don't know what else to do. We need to speak about Bianca.
25:06Baby.
25:08I mean, what are you still doing up?
25:13This ain't good for you at all, you know?
25:17Mm-hm.
25:21I thought you were right.
25:26I thought his terrible act was his way of admitting his guilt.
25:34But he's admitting nothing.
25:38He demands go on. Nothing matters now.
25:41Of course it matters.
25:44I pushed and I pushed.
25:49And now he will never admit it.
25:57Hmph!
