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?
00:07How 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♪
00:52Just a young gun
00:54with a quick fuse
00:55I was uptight
00:57wanna let loose
00:58I was dreaming
00:59of bigger things and
01:01wanna leave my old life behind
01:04Not a youther
01:05not a follower
01:06Diane, we need to talk.
01:07I have got nothing to say to you.
01:10Take a number
01:12I was lightning
01:13or cause a thunder
01:15Who's ready to look at wedding venues?
01:18Can't wait.
01:22I am marrying
01:24the perfect man.
01:28♪
01:55You've come to the right place.
01:57Because if there's one thing I'm good at
02:00it's taking care of problems.
02:04Alright, please.
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
02:19wedding venues
02:21but everything's so expensive
02:23maybe we should agree
02:25on a smaller budget.
02:26Oh, no, no, no.
02:27We'll do the best for you.
02:28We'll make it work.
02:30I'll raid my piggy bank.
02:32Last of the big spenders.
02:35Good morning, 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, what'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.
02:54See you later, Dylan.
02:58You keep away from my family.
02:59Whether you like it or not, me and Vicky are together
03:01and I care about her, too.
03:03Of course you care about her saving your own neck
03:05and we both know it was you that paid the photographer.
03:07Don't tell Vicky to say that in court.
03:10There's me thinking we could be civil.
03:11Oh, well.
03:14Ooh.
03:15Been in the wars, have we?
03:19That's what happens when you borrow 20 grand from a loan shark.
03:23So, I've just had a fascinating phone call from an old colleague of mine
03:26telling me that some stupid person in the garage
03:28has been switching number plates on stolen cars.
03:31No way.
03:32I'd know.
03:34OK, before you freak out,
03:36in my defence, the money is ridiculous.
03:39I don't care about the money, all right?
03:41Freddie's never going to get Lexi back in to keep our noses clean.
03:44Right, but it's OK for you to get Mercedes cancelled.
03:46I don't care.
03:47I don't care.
03:48I don't care.
03:49I don't care.
03:51I just don't think it's OK for you to get Mercedes cancelled.
03:53I know how to be subtle, all right?
03:54One sniff of this and Robbie's going straight to social services.
04:00Who are you working for?
04:01I know you didn't come up with this plan on your own.
04:03He was only a guy, small town...
04:05Yeah.
04:06You wouldn't know.
04:07And besides, how can you lecture me
04:09on breaking the law? You had a prison wedding.
04:11Exactly, and I don't want that for you!
04:13You're the only drugger I've got left.
04:15Don't worry, all right? I'm not involved in anything heavy.
04:17Stop overreacting. This isn't anything serious.
04:20It's just a side hustle.
04:22And I've been in this world my whole life.
04:24I know which pass not to touch.
04:27This isn't a game, Rex.
04:30Come on, Grace.
04:32A man's got to have some secrets.
04:40Oh, come on, Diane, please talk to me.
04:44I didn't mean to fool for him, it 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? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:03Apparently 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.
05:15We 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, I don't need any more details about 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 drizzle cake to die for.
05:32And he's a Scorpio and I'm a Scorpio, so obviously we click.
05:35Yeah. We 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.
05:44I say go for it. You only live once, don't you?
05:46What happened 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.
05:57Can 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.
06:12After he was done with you, I had a chat with your new mate, Kev.
06:15Is that the sort of bloke you want to owe money to?
06:17Let's cut straight to the blackmail, eh? I'm not going to the police.
06:20That's what you think I care about?
06:22That dig in the ribs was just a warning, Donny.
06:24Next time, they'll come after your family.
06:26Have you stopped for one second to think about them?
06:28What do you think I got in this mess?
06:30Market was struggling
06:32and I wanted to get missed for a proper engagement ring, so I...
06:36..applied for a payday loan.
06:38Big mistake. They may be legal,
06:40but the interest they charge will make your eyes water.
06:42You miss one payment, they're in up to your neck.
06:44So then you thought you'd go to a loan shark?
06:46Why didn't you just come clean to Miss Potts?
06:48She thinks it's mine and mine who's going to look after her.
06:53Luckily, I've got a plan that can help you do just that.
06:57I still think I'm head around it.
06:59I mean, what can I loathe? I could trash someone's grave.
07:02I know Jane's had enemies, but this is proper messed up.
07:05Hey, you don't think it could have been Dad, do you?
07:08Lucas, your dad would never do something like that.
07:11Guys!
07:13Something 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?
07:20Dad, the cemetery called us.
07:23Now, 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 him.
07:37The police?
07:38Yeah. Just concentrate on getting better, Steve.
07:41Right, 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.
08:07You don't have a choice, Donny.
08:09You're in too deep.
08:15OK.
08:16Let 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.
08:31And you know why?
08:33You know why?
08:42My husband is actually still alive.
08:49See?
08:50I knew this.
08:52You think I've lost it, don't you?
08:54Many people struggle to accept their loved one's gone.
08:56James is not... James is not gone.
09:00He's not gone.
09:04He's being held captive...
09:07..by a man named Rex Gallagher.
09:11I snuck into his garage and I found a bag,
09:13and it had rope in it, gaffer tape and a balaclava inside.
09:18So, what do you think this means?
09:20What do you think it means?
09:22That it's holding him somewhere.
09:25There's more as well.
09:27Rex is making dodgy phone calls.
09:29He keeps mentioning his name.
09:31He's also kept one of his ties...
09:33..as, like, a sick trophy.
09:43But I knew that no-one would believe me.
09:47So...
09:52..I had to be 100% sure.
09:54Steve, where did you get this?
09:57James's grave.
10:00James's grave?
10:01Wait, are you saying that James was never in that grave?
10:04Exactly.
10:05Look.
10:07Look at these.
10:16That's not proof that Rex has kidnapped James.
10:19What is?
10:30MUSIC PLAYS
10:35Hey, Skyver.
10:37You dodging the school canteen again?
10:39Ro? I'm talking to you.
10:41Go talk to your new girlfriend instead.
10:43Do you know what? I wish I'd just told Mum the truth
10:45when I saw you two together.
10:47I mean, you told me you'd break the news to her gently.
10:50Hey, I never wanted your mum to find out the way she did.
10:53Me and your mum, we might not be together anymore,
10:55but I still care about her.
10:57Is it not enough to stop yourself from jumping on to her best mate?
11:00Hey, you. Lunchtime's over. Get back to school.
11:03I can't believe how you still cop to her.
11:10She's got every right to be angry.
11:14So have you.
11:17Diane, I am so sorry.
11:19Yeah, so you've said.
11:22All those nights, just the three of us.
11:25Laughing and chatting over a takeaway.
11:28Do you honestly expect me to believe
11:30that 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.
11:42You know, Marie, she's...
11:44Well, she's gorgeous, isn't she?
11:47And she's funny.
11:50Life and soul of the party.
11:52Like I used to be.
11:56Is that why you fell for her?
11:57No, not at all.
11:59That's it, isn't it?
12:03She was just a persuasion to me.
12:05Before the drink and the...
12:07Now I'm getting on the right one.
12:08Hey.
12:10Listen.
12:12There's no better version of you, Diane.
12:15You're perfect just the way you are.
12:17And I wish you...
12:19nothing but happiness.
12:22Even if it's not with me.
12:31Right.
12:33Look at the J in James.
12:35It's...
12:37exactly the same as the note.
12:39Have you shown this to your family?
12:40What would be the point?
12:41There's no point, is there?
12:44Leela and Lucas reckon I'm not thinking straight
12:47because of the grief.
12:51Do you believe me?
12:57It feels unbelievable.
12:59But you're right.
13:00There's too much evidence to ignore.
13:04Yes.
13:05Thanks.
13:06I knew it.
13:08I 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 into the police.
13:21Yeah.
13:25The police?
13:27Yeah.
13:28You're right.
13:31OK.
13:40Wait.
13:42What if the police don't charge Rex straight away?
13:45No, they don't keep him in a cell overnight.
13:47All calling the police is going to do is tip him off.
13:49Steve, this is serious.
13:50If what you're telling me is true, then James' life could be on the line.
13:55Erm...
13:57OK, Rex has kept him a prisoner for this long,
13:59so I need to...
14:04I'm going to try and get close to him.
14:06Get 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 wouldn't be a shame to lose him. I'm the 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 Mallex, 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?
15:23It's more than just Grace.
15:24I've got other people that I need to think of.
15:27I'm not risking it.
15:32The risk is saying no to me.
15:35The risk is saying no to me.
15:39And don't forget what I'm capable of. Understand?
15:44My new dad.
15:46You going to teach me how to play catch, are you?
15:48Excuse me. You're not too old to go to bed without dinner.
15:51Relax. I'm off out for dinner with Leela anyway.
15:53Now I know she's not having an affair with a lover, but I eat her.
15:58I'm so sorry about yesterday.
16:00I made you another cake.
16:02You were such a fan of the lemon drizzle,
16:04I figured we could try something else.
16:06It's red velvet.
16:09Red velvet. Yeah.
16:11It's Diane's favourite, isn't it?
16:16Look, Tony.
16:19You're such a nice guy.
16:21You're nicer than my usual type,
16:22which makes me want to punch myself for saying this,
16:24but I think we're moving too fast.
16:27I don't understand. I thought we were on the same page.
16:30We were.
16:32Until I saw one of my best mate's heart break into a million pieces.
16:37And...
16:39I swung by the dog earlier.
16:42I saw the way you two looked at each other.
16:44There's nothing going on between me and Diane anymore.
16:48I think we both know that's not quite true.
16:51Oh, look, Tony, you just...
16:53You need space to heal from the break-up,
16:56and I don't want to get in the way of that.
17:02Hey.
17:04It was fun while it lasted, wasn't it?
17:07Yeah.
17:09I'll see you later.
17:18Hey.
17:20Look, I can't stop thinking about how Sienna's sat in some prison cell because of us.
17:27Robbie, what have we done?
17:33Anyway, call me back when you get this, OK?
17:36Bye.
17:44Dad? Is that you?
17:48Is someone there?
17:51Dad? Is that you?
17:55Is someone there?
18:03Hey, Dad, how was the grief counsellor?
18:05Yeah, I managed to get loads off my chest.
18:09I told you therapy would be good, Dad.
18:13I know it's not easy. Grief plays tricks on you.
18:16Gets inside your mind.
18:20Some days it still feels like James is here with us.
18:24Dad?
18:26Sorry, mate, it's been my own little world then.
18:29What are you looking at?
18:30It's some work that I've got to do for a grief counsellor.
18:33Come here.
18:38I love you, OK, so much.
18:42And I'm going to get through this, I promise.
18:45Get off me!
18:51Hello? Who's there?
19:04Robbie? What's happened?
19:06I don't know, I just found her like this.
19:08Call an ambulance, Dylan!
19:20Come on.
19:39This is all the proof I need.
19:45I nearly found you.
19:47James.
19:49He hopes it.
19:52I love you so much.
20:19I love you.
