S1E2 - Episode 2
Jordan Franklin remains in a coma. Meanwhile Simon is hailed a local hero and has no choice but to keep up the lie, however uncomfortable it makes him feel. And as with all lies, the tangled web starts to unravel.
DS Evans begins her investigation into the assault, while Simon's wife, Beth, notices a change in his behaviour and starts to develop her own suspicions.
Then there's the next-door neighbour, Harry - an old reclusive man who hardly says two words to anyone. Unknown to Simon – or indeed to anyone – Harry is the sole witness to the attack. Simon's last hope is Harry's possible dementia. Does Harry even know what he saw? This is put to the test when Simon is forced to chaperone Harry's interview with DS Evans.
Jordan's father, Paul Franklin, a career criminal with a history of extreme violence, doesn't trust the police to find the culprit and begins his own investigation. He enlists Simon's help, organising a vigil in the search for the truth. After all, Simon is the man he believes saved his son's life.
Later that night, Paul pays Simon a visit, sure he has found a way to get into his CCTV. But Beth kicks Paul out.
The following day, a terrified Simon ventures to the hospital to give his login details to Paul…

S1E3 - Episode 3
Simon is frantic with fear and takes matters into his own hands to get his family to safety. He threatens his old boss Jimmy: fast-track his redundancy payment or Simon will reveal that Jimmy made him redundant for a personal vendetta.
DS Evans follows up a call Simon made the night before the attack, reporting a threatening local youth. Simon insists he was mistaken, but this only makes Evans more suspicious – the holes in his story are mounting.
Simon is forced to have dinner with Paul, but it's clear the ever-increasing pressure is taking a toll. Simon blames his twitchiness on his ex-boss Jimmy making his life hell.
The next morning, Simon's redundancy pay is immediately sanctioned. Unknown to Simon, Paul enacted revenge on Jimmy, with the help of sidekick Uncle Mark. Whatever move he makes, Simon seems to end up further entangled in the Franklin family's dangerous web of crime.
DS Evans discovers CCTV footage of Simon challenging Jordan, who was bullying a homeless man outside a local shop. This was days before the attack, so why did Simon deny ever meeting Jordan before?
