Transcript
00:00Rex was on the phone out there yesterday
00:02and he was saying Steve thinks James is dead
00:04so let's not tell him otherwise.
00:06We've got more days, eh?
00:07Oh, how 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.
00:14Who is she?
00:17He's got James!
00:17James is alive!
00:30♪
00:52♪ Just a young gun with a quick fuse ♪
00:55♪ I was uptight, wanna let loose ♪
00:58♪ I was dreaming of bigger things and ♪
01:01♪ Wanna leave my old life behind ♪
01:04Diane.
01:06Look, we need to talk.
01:07I have got nothing to say to you.
01:09♪ Take a number, I was lightning before the thunder ♪
01:13Guys.
01:15Who's ready to look at wedding venues?
01:18Can't wait.
01:22I am marrying the perfect man.
01:28♪
01:55You've come to the right place.
01:57But if there's one thing I'm good at,
01:59it's taking care of problems.
02:04All right, mate.
02:08Excuse me?
02:09Traders?
02:11Why are you not buying from the kiosk?
02:13What 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, no, no.
02:27We're the best for you.
02:28We'll make it work.
02:30I'll raid my piggy bank.
02:32Last of the big spenders.
02:34Morning, 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 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.
02:58Whether you like it or not, me and Vicky are together.
03:00And I care about her, too.
03:02What else do you care about, saving your own neck?
03:04And we both know it was you that paid the photographer.
03:06And I'll tell Vicky to say that in court.
03:09There's me thinking we could be civil.
03:11Oh, 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.
03:31I'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?
03:40Freddie's never going to get Lexi back in to keep our noses clean.
03:43Right, but it's OK for you to be here.
03:44I'm not going to be here.
03:45I'm not going to be here.
03:46I'm not going to be here.
03:47I'm not going to be here.
03:48I'm not going to be here.
03:49I'm not going to be here.
03:51I'm not going to be here.
03:52It's OK for you to get Mercedes' cancer drugs.
03:54I know how to be subtle.
03:55All right?
03:56One sniff of this and Robbie's going straight to social services.
04:00And who are you working for anyway?
04:02Because I know you didn't come up with this plan all on your own.
04:04Well, I'm the guy of small time.
04:05Yeah.
04:07You wouldn't know.
04:08And besides, how can you lecture me on breaking the law?
04:10You had a prison wedding?
04:11Exactly.
04:12And I don't want that for you.
04:14Right.
04:15You're the only brother I've got left.
04:16Don't worry, all right?
04:17I'm not involved in anything heavy.
04:18Stop overreacting.
04:19This isn't anything serious.
04:20Side hustle.
04:21I've been in this world my whole life.
04:23I know which pass not to touch.
04:27This isn't a game, Rex.
04:29Come on, Grace.
04:31A man's got to have some secrets.
04:39Oh, come on, Diane.
04:41Please talk to me.
04:43I didn't mean to fool for him.
04:45It just happened.
04:48Special offer at the kiosk.
04:50Buy a coffee, get a cake or pastry half price.
04:53Come on, Marie, can I tempt you with a pastry?
04:55Heard you're partial to a pan of Tony.
04:57Oi, you cheeky little...
05:00Are you all right?
05:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:04Apparently I'm the Scarlet Woman of Holyoaks now.
05:07I mean, can you really blame Diane?
05:09I mean, Marie, what happened to girl code?
05:11Mum, of all the blokes you'd have copped off with in the village,
05:14you picked Tony.
05:15You haven't even slept together, OK?
05:18Which shows you what a gentleman he is,
05:20because, quite frankly, I've been very happy to give it up.
05:23Oh, Mum, we don't need any more details with your hook-ups, please.
05:26It's not a hook-up. He's really sweet and he's funny
05:29and he makes a lemon-drizzled cake to die for.
05:32And he's a Scorpio and I'm a Scorpio, so obviously we click.
05:35Yeah.
05:36We could be something really special,
05:38even if the whole village is against us.
05:41Look, you were the only person rooting for me in Abesal.
05:44So go for it. You only live once, don't you?
05:46No, you put him to girl code.
05:48Mum, I just don't want to see you get hurt, right?
05:50Life's thrown loads of troubles at those two
05:52and they've always got them back together stronger than ever.
05:54And Diane's your best mate. She'll always be there for you.
05:56Can you say the same thing about Tony?
06:00I'll tell you what I can say about Tony.
06:03He's got a hot date tonight.
06:05Hey!
06:08He got a flight with one punch.
06:11After he was done with you, I had a chat with your new mate, Kev.
06:14Is that the sort of bloke you want to owe money to?
06:16Let's cut straight to the blackmail, eh? I'm not going to the police.
06:19What, that's what you think I care about?
06:21That dig in the ribs was just a warning, Donny.
06:23Next time, they'll come after your family.
06:25Have you stopped for one second to think about them?
06:27What do you think I got in this mess?
06:30Market was struggling
06:31and I wanted to get missed for a proper engagement ring, so I...
06:35..applied for a payday loan.
06:37Payday loan, eh? Big mistake.
06:39They may be legal, but the interest you charge will make your eyes water.
06:42You miss one payment, you're in up to your neck.
06:44So then you thought you'd go to a loan shark.
06:46Why didn't you just complain to Miss Potts?
06:48She thinks he's minding the man who's going to look after her.
06:53Luckily, I've got a plan that can help you do just that.
06:58I still can't get my head around it.
07:00I mean, what kind of load I have would trash someone's grave?
07:02I know Jane's had enemies, but this is proper messed up.
07:06Hi.
07:07Your dad think it could have been Dad, do you?
07:09Lukas, your dad would never do something like that.
07:12Guys!
07:14Something terrible's happened.
07:15Now, Steve, listen, we were going to tell you.
07:17We just think they're using the right headspace for it.
07:19You know about James?
07:21Dad, the cemetery called us.
07:24Now, listen, the thing is...
07:25Steve, let us take care of it, OK?
07:27We're going to go down to the cemetery this afternoon.
07:29You just focus on your grief counselling appointment.
07:32A really serious crime has been committed here.
07:34Yeah, and listen, the police, the police are going to catch them.
07:37The police?
07:38Yeah. Just concentrate on getting better, Steve.
07:42Right, whoever did it, they're going to get locked up.
07:46Donny, it is the only way to get these loan sharks out of your life for good.
07:49I'm not going to stage a break-in in my own home.
07:51Do you think I've got enough stuff to clear the debt?
07:53That's the beauty of it.
07:54You just claim for stuff you ain't got.
07:56A bit here, a bit there, a few extra laptops.
07:58You know, once the insurance pays out, your quid's in.
08:00That is illegal. I am not a criminal!
08:02I've got people like that behind bars!
08:04And now you owe them 20 grand.
08:08You don't have a choice, Donny.
08:10You're in too deep.
08:15OK.
08:17Let me just say, I'm only here for my family.
08:21Because they won't listen to me.
08:26I don't even need a grief counsellor.
08:32And you know why?
08:41My husband is actually still alive.
08:48See?
08:49I knew this.
08:51You think I've lost it, don't you?
08:53Many people struggle to accept their loved one's gone.
08:55James is not...
08:56James is not gone.
08:59He's not gone.
09:03He's being held captive.
09:06By a man named Rex Gallagher.
09:10I snuck into his carriage and I found a bag.
09:12And it had rope in it, gaffer tape and a balaclava inside.
09:17So, what do you think this means?
09:20What do you think it means?
09:21That he's holding him somewhere.
09:24There's more as well.
09:26Rex is making dodgy phone calls.
09:28He keeps saying,
09:29Rex is making dodgy phone calls.
09:31He keeps mentioning James' name.
09:33And he's also kept one of his ties.
09:36As like a sick trophy.
09:46I knew that no one would believe me.
09:49So...
09:54I had to be 100% sure.
09:56Steve, where did you get this?
09:59James' grave.
10:00Wait, are you saying that James was never in that grave?
10:03Exactly.
10:04Look.
10:07Look at these.
10:16That's not proof that Rex has kidnapped James.
10:19What is?
10:30Hey, Skyver.
10:32You dodging the school canteen again?
10:34Ro?
10:35I'm talking to you.
10:36Go talk to your new girlfriend instead.
10:38Do you know what?
10:39I wish I'd just told mum the truth when I saw you two together.
10:42I mean, you told me you'd break the news to her gently.
10:45Hey, I never wanted your mum to find out the way she did.
10:49Me and your mum, we might not be together anymore,
10:51but I still care about her.
10:52Obviously not enough to stop yourself from jumping onto her best mate.
10:55Are you sure?
10:56Obviously not enough to stop yourself from jumping onto her best mate.
10:59Hey, you.
11:00Lunchtime's over. Get back to school.
11:03I can't believe I used to look up to you.
11:09She's got every right to be angry.
11:13So have you.
11:16Diane, I am so sorry.
11:18Yeah.
11:19It's what you've said.
11:21All those nights, just the three of us.
11:24Laughing and chatting over a takeaway.
11:27Do you honestly expect me to believe that the party just stopped when I went to bed?
11:32Look, I'm not going to lie. We were tempted.
11:35But we both care about you too much.
11:37Yeah.
11:39Yeah, I must have killed you to wait.
11:41You know, Marie, she's...
11:43Well, she's gorgeous, isn't she?
11:46And she's funny.
11:49Life and soul of the party.
11:52Like I used to be.
11:55Is that why you fell for her?
11:56No, not at all.
11:59That's it, isn't it?
12:02She was just a persuasion to me.
12:04Before the drink and then the...
12:06Now I'm getting on the right one.
12:07Hey.
12:09Listen.
12:11There's no better version of you, Diane.
12:14You're perfect just the way you are.
12:16And I wish you...
12:18nothing but happiness.
12:21Even if it's not with me.
12:30Right.
12:32Look at the J in James.
12:34It's...
12:36exactly the same as the note.
12:38Have you shown this to your family?
12:39What would be the point? There's no point, is there?
12:43Leela 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.
13:00There's too much evidence to ignore.
13:03Yes.
13:04Thanks.
13:06I knew it.
13:07I knew I was right.
13:10Mate, this is all in strict confidence, isn't it?
13:13Anything you say in our sessions is strictly between me and you.
13:16Unless you're a danger to yourself or others.
13:18But I strongly advise you to hand James' note in to the police.
13:22Yeah.
13:25The police?
13:28Yeah, you're right.
13:32Okay.
13:40Wait.
13:42What if the police don't charge Rex straight away?
13:46No, they don't keep him in a cell overnight.
13:48All calling the police is going to do is tip him off.
13:50Steve, this is serious.
13:51If what you're telling me is true, then James' life could be on the line.
13:55Erm...
13:57Okay, Rex has kept him a prisoner for this long,
14:00so I need to...
14:05I'm going to try and get close to him.
14:07Get him to let his guard down.
14:11Rex is keeping James in a house.
14:14All I need to do is find out where.
14:18And I'm going to bring my husband home.
14:23Here he is, my employee of the month.
14:26Oh.
14:27You've got a nerve, haven't you?
14:29Using Freddie's garage as a front for your little shady deals.
14:32You mug, you told your sister?
14:33Found out.
14:34I can't believe that you took Lexie away from Freddie,
14:36making her act like you're some responsible guardian,
14:38when you're buying her fancy toys for dirty money.
14:41Why don't we see what the social services think of your little sideline, huh?
14:45Yeah, go on, then.
14:46As long as you like only seeing your brother during visiting hours.
14:49It won't be a shame to lose him. He's a good little businessman.
14:52Pity you don't run in the family, innit?
14:54You are not going to get away with this.
15:01So first, Steve overhears our business call,
15:03and now Grace knows everything about our operation.
15:05You're not exactly James' bottom, are you?
15:07Luckily, you've got a chance to redeem yourself.
15:09Yeah.
15:10Yeah, well, I've been thinking about that one.
15:12Switching number plates on stolen cars, that's one thing,
15:15but staging a break-in into the Mallocks, forget it.
15:19Grace is going to be watching me like a hawk from now on.
15:21Is that why you're backing out? In case your big sis don't like you?
15:24It's more than just Grace.
15:25I've got other people that I need to think of.
15:28I'm not risking it.
15:33The risk is saying no to me.
15:36Don't forget what I'm capable of.
15:38Understand?
15:41My new dad.
15:43Here to teach me how to play catch, are you?
15:45Excuse me.
15:46You're not too old to go to bed without dinner.
15:48Relax. I'm off out for dinner with Leela anyway.
15:50Now I know she's not having an affair with a lover boy, are you?
15:55I'm so sorry about yesterday.
15:57I made you another cake.
15:59You were such a fan of the lemon drizzle,
16:01I figured we could try something else.
16:03It's red velvet.
16:05Red velvet, yeah.
16:08It's Diane's favourite, isn't it?
16:12Look, Tony.
16:15You're such a nice guy.
16:17You're nicer than my usual type,
16:18which makes me want to punch myself for saying this,
16:20but I think we're moving too fast.
16:23I don't understand. I thought we were on the same page.
16:26We were.
16:28Until I saw one of my best mates,
16:31Until I saw one of my best mate's heart break into a million pieces.
16:36And...
16:38I swung by the dog earlier.
16:41I saw the way you two looked at each other.
16:43There's nothing going on between me and Diane anymore.
16:47I think we both know that's not quite true.
16:50Oh, look, Tony, you just...
16:52You need space to heal from the break-up,
16:55and I don't want to get in the way of that.
17:01Hey.
17:03It was fun while it lasted, wasn't it?
17:06Yeah.
17:08I'll see you later.
17:17Hey.
17:18Um...
17:20Look, I can't stop thinking about how Sienna's sat in some prison cell because of us.
17:26Robbie, what have we done?
17:31DOOR OPENS
17:39Anyway, um, call me back when you get this, OK? Bye.
17:50Dad? Is that you?
17:54Is someone there?
18:01Hey. Dad, how was the grief counsellor?
18:04Yeah, I managed to get loads off my chest.
18:07I told you therapy would be good, Dad.
18:11I know it's not easy. Grief plays tricks on you.
18:14Gets inside your mind.
18:18Some days it still feels like James is here with us.
18:22Dad?
18:24Sorry, mate, it's been my own little world then.
18:27What are you looking at?
18:29It's just some work that I've got to do for the grief counsellor.
18:32Call me, yeah?
18:38I love you, OK, so much.
18:42And I'm going to get through this. I promise.
18:44Get off me!
18:53Hello? Who's there?
19:00WHISTLE BLOWS
19:06Robbie? What's happened?
19:08I don't know, I just found her like this.
19:10Call an ambulance, Dylan!
19:29This is all the proof I need.
19:35Nearly found you.
19:37James.
19:40You're going to be home soon.
19:43I love you so much.
