00:00The whole village is tearing itself apart looking for your dad, and you have him stashed in some vat!
00:04Martin was my mate's dad. It's time I make your life miserable for everything that you've done to him.
00:08Steve! Steve!
00:11It's done.
00:12How can you hate your dad so much?
00:14I know about Brick, I know he works for you, and you're a stupid criminal gang.
00:18If Brick had a hand in his disappearance, I had nothing to do with it.
00:21James Nightingale, I'm arresting you for the kidnapping of Stephen Henn.
00:25Sienna! The man's real! I saw it!
00:28Sienna, you've got to stop them!
00:57Sienna, I have nothing to do with it...
01:21Sienna, I have nothing to do with it!
01:33Forensics have confirmed the blood on the tracksuit majesty's I'm being framed
01:44I thought Warren were letting you see it kids it's not about that Mercedes James was arrested
01:58last night he's gone in here the police aren't saying he did but he's not coming back
02:09we're getting nowhere fast let's take a break I don't want to take a break I want you to listen
02:16to me let's just run with your theory for a second shall we so I kidnapped Steve from the shopping
02:23center using a van that I hire in my own name rookie mistake number one I then create an AI
02:32video which
02:32I bring to your attention but I leave all the incriminating evidence on my laptop which I've
02:38given you voluntarily rookie mistake number two and then rookie mistake number three which really is
02:47the icing on the cake I need to hide Steve's bloody clothes so I I hide them down the back
02:55of my own
02:56sofa for a child to buy sit down
03:07I'm not an idiot the only explanation is that this is a coordinated conspiracy to ruin my life you're
03:17wasting time on me the man I love is stuck somewhere in the back of that van
03:25okay let's just say you're right who's got it in for you and why
03:37who is it
03:50what's happened dad's tops been found in James's flat it had his blood on it
04:00the family liaison rang Leela this morning James has been arrested on suspicion of kidnap
04:07I need a coffee are you okay your mum had told me that you'd been sleepwalking
04:14I'm fine
04:17but we need to do something I mean Leela thinks that James killed him
04:22I've been thinking and I don't believe he took him I mean what if he's telling the truth and someone
04:28else has set him up
04:29are you always defending him because he loves dad and he loves us I know he's done bad things but
04:36he's a different person now he's never loved us Leela I face it dad's always picked bad men and
04:42James is just another one of them I wonder if things have ended the way they have how can you
04:47say that he's just in shock here we all are why don't we go to Leela's wait there for some
04:54news
04:55we need to stick together right I'm gonna get changed
05:03Miss Beth sorry Emily I've been on the phone to Vicky she's a few hours ahead so I figured she'd
05:08be in bed by the time I clocked out
05:09she arrived okay yeah she's in the hotel enjoying the minibar with Prince by the sounds of things
05:14see you in a bit oh uh Gemma wait uh I think you should take the day off
05:23this is because of the scene Mercedes made isn't it
05:28you know what the staff are like they go crazy for a bit of gossip
05:33and well there was some shocking accusations flying about all of which is untrue if I don't go into work
05:41I'll look guilty no um they'll think you've got gastroenteritis which is what I took them
05:49you believe the rooms don't you Miss Beth I had nothing to do with Steve's disappearance
05:53I swear I know that Donnie's got James in custody on suspicion of kidnap
06:02I'm going to call around and check in on Steve's family later they must be going through hell
06:08good idea I'll come with you okay
06:12well how am I supposed to know what's wrong with it no I'm not an engineer am I that's why
06:17I'm asking you
06:17to come out and look at me oh do you know what just forget it yeah so James is in
06:23the slammer
06:24I think you owe me an apology in your dreams you know I actually let you get to me yesterday
06:30what a difference a day makes
06:38here you go miss
06:42so what do you think
06:45well I don't know
06:46James has a lot of things but from what I've heard about him he ain't sloppy
06:50and he's made a lot of enemies over the years
06:52so I ain't looking forward to chasing down all those leads
06:56unless that's exactly what he wants us to do
06:59think he's stolen for time
07:01and he knows the system
07:03he knows we're close to the 24 hour mark
07:06we've got to decide whether to charge extend or release very soon
07:09I mean all the evidence points to him
07:12thought he does make a pretty persuasive argument that he is being framed
07:17let's not forget what he does for the living name
07:20this case man
07:23what is it
07:24oh
07:26nothing

09:15you look like you could use a warm wine
09:17Lucas
09:18isn't it mind blowing to think that someone that loves Steve
09:21is responsible for her to know
09:48what if whoever's trying to do this
09:51are just trying to punish me
09:52by taking both my dads away
09:54and why on earth would they do that
09:56because
09:57I'm not a nice person
09:59look
09:59I dragged my family
10:01into the spotlight
10:02with my socials
10:03like I'd even attracted a saga
10:04so who to say that
10:05there's not some
10:06revenge seeking maniac after me
10:08because you've done nothing
10:09to deserve it
10:10what about the secrets project

10:49yeah
10:50you're well within your rights to say
10:52I told you so
10:53looks like James did take Steve
10:55look I'm kind of in the middle of something
10:57I'm glad you're alright
11:02just had an interesting chat with Mercedes
11:06is it true then
11:08you were working for Gemma
11:10I'm not sure where she got that idea from
11:12look I'm not interested in crypto wallets or squabbles among thieves
11:16I'm interested in who kidnaps Steve
11:19all I know
11:21is the guy in this photo
11:22he worked for Gemma
11:25his name's Brick
11:27tried to track him down by contacting some of his associates
11:30but
11:31you went dark a few days ago
11:33you didn't think to bring this information to the police
11:38I am the police
11:40look I'm an undercover agent
11:41I'm sorry what
11:43you know you won't be able to verify it because of security clearance but
11:47I've been working on an active investigation now for some time
11:50really into who?
11:53Gemma
11:53and someone she was intimately involved with
11:55someone who had a very public vendor against Steve
11:59Warren
12:00your brother
12:02that's all I can tell you for now
12:04no hang on
12:05you don't get to drop a bomb like that
12:06and just walk off
12:08you got proof that any of this is true
12:10you'll see
12:27hey
12:28I heard the news
12:29are you okay?
12:31gosh you know
12:32what a stupid question
12:35do you know if they've charged James yet?
12:37do you mind if we don't talk about him?
12:41call my dad
12:42yeah sure
12:43let's er
12:45let's talk about boys instead
12:47because that's not depressing
12:49are you and Caleb still not speaking?
12:51barely
12:52he's still annoyed at the way I treated Beth
12:54so
12:56what about you and Imran?
12:58I don't think he's ever going to forgive me
13:01well
13:02Lucas is back
13:03so that's something
13:05yeah
13:06but we're not on the same page about James
13:09he thinks he's guilty
13:12him and Steve's relationship's complicated
13:16what are you trying to say?
13:19nothing
13:20I'm just stating a fact
13:22but anyway we are talking about the exact thing
13:24we said that we weren't going to talk about
13:26so
13:27maybe Vicky's had the right idea
13:29jetting off with Prince
13:30or she's posted some proper gorgeous photos
13:32that's it?
13:33yeah
13:34I haven't been on my social media for a while
13:38I can't face the hate
13:42well maybe something good's had to come out of it all
13:45I am no longer an attention seeking bitch
13:53right I'd better get back to work
13:55no I can't
13:57I can't face going on yet
14:00that Imran's there with his family being all lovely and
14:04sympathetic and
14:06unavailable
14:09I hope you two find a way to get back to what you had
14:13I hope
14:13you and Caleb do too
14:21oh
14:27there's something you don't see everyday
14:30cheeky
14:30you missed a spot
14:33do you want these plates smashing on your head?
14:35shouldn't it be me smashing pots
14:37after you just landing me in it with dad yeah?
14:40look
14:40if you'd have seen Gemma's smug mug this morning
14:44you'd have got it
14:44look
14:46I'm sorry I dropped you in it too yeah
14:49it's just
14:50something don't make sense
14:51but I accused Gemma of kidnapping Steve
14:54a few hours later
14:55Steve's tracksuit just shows up
14:57and then James is arrested
14:58honestly
14:59if you ask me
15:00the entire thing absolutely
15:02yeah?
15:03you finished?
15:05yeah
15:06you did the right thing
15:09what?
15:10I want the same thing
15:12I know you're having a hard time trusting me after all that
15:16stuff between us but
15:17I want to see Gemma taken down
15:19and I'll do whatever it takes to make that happen
15:22so anything you need
15:24let me know
15:25yeah
15:27that lot
15:28that lot is not going to wash on its own
15:35she certainly wasn't expecting Miss Matthews to predict her with a seed that's for damn sure
15:39yeah well she'll be lucky to even pass after the year she's had
15:42there's still plenty of time to turn it around
15:44yeah
15:45I'm nowhere near as strict as I am what's with the homework though
15:48truth is half the time I can't be dealing with the arguments
15:52look there isn't a parent in the country that can force the teenage daughter to take their education seriously
15:57I mean they're more interested in boys aren't they
15:59says Dr. Johnson with a medical degree
16:01alright
16:01I've always been good at multitasking
16:04I think you've done amazing with those kids
16:06thanks
16:07am I missing so much?
16:08is this when have you two been seeing each other?
16:10Dukas
16:11no
16:12Leela's been helping me with my grief
16:14and now I'm doing the same for her
16:17I remember when I lost Kashiv
16:20I'm not sure I would have coped if I hadn't had my friends and family around me
16:25didn't James kill him as well?
16:27me
16:28honestly
16:28what?
16:30I'm sorry Miss Bath
16:35my family's history with James is complex
16:44Kashiv took his own life in prison
16:47he was there because of what James did to him
16:52but there's always a reason why people behave badly
16:57and I understood him better
17:00once I knew
17:02what his own father had put him through
17:04sounds like you're making excuses for him
17:06no
17:06what Miss was trying to say
17:08is that we're all a product of our circumstances
17:11you alright?
17:13where you going?
