00:00I love you.
00:30I'm an egg.
00:35Sorry.
00:38What are you doing up?
00:39Might ask you the same question.
00:43It's a big day today.
00:45My brain's on overdrive.
00:47Which is probably a good thing.
00:49It means it's working properly.
00:51Have you thought about how you're going to plead?
00:54No.
00:57I'm still thinking about it.
01:00No.
01:02Ronnie thinks I should plead not guilty.
01:06So does Adam.
01:07But if you plead guilty, then you'd avoid a trial.
01:11Possibly get a suspended sentence.
01:13Not even go to prison.
01:15But they think if I plead not guilty,
01:19they can argue against the police report.
01:23You know, get medical evidence about me condition.
01:26And what if that doesn't work?
01:27Then you'd lose any credit for a guilty plea.
01:31Might even get a longer sentence.
01:33And by pleading guilty, you're showing remorse.
01:35That surely has to count for something, right?
01:38Well, I do feel remorse.
01:39Billy's dead.
01:42Somebody has to pay for that.
01:43I wish to God I didn't let you drive that car.
01:49Yeah.
01:52What's done is done.
01:54The accident's on me.
01:57Not you.
01:58I am sorry, though.
02:07Yeah.
02:09I know you are.
02:14Good evening, talking.
02:15Oh, I'm so sorry, darling.
02:18Did we wake you?
02:19Well, couldn't sleep anyway.
02:22Join the club.
02:22I'll pop the kettle on.
02:26Listen.
02:28I hope you've been telling her to plead not going.
02:33Nobody is telling me anything.
02:37Tea?
02:37Tea?
02:47You are kidding.
02:48I'm guessing you didn't spray that on yourself.
02:53What do you think?
02:56Very anatomically correct, though.
02:58And I've got to say, I am liking the bits of hair on the, uh...
03:01This is my dad's car as well.
03:05Any idea who did it?
03:07I mean, I'd say probably someone that knows that part of the body well.
03:09Maybe a fella.
03:11I'm thinking it's probably one of my students.
03:14And I think I know which one.
03:18A colourful outfit?
03:32Well, I'm not going to go in there as someone else, am I?
03:35This is who I am.
03:36Where have you been, Ronnie?
03:37We need to get going.
03:40Hey, Dad.
03:42It's OK.
03:44Did Ronnie pressure you into coming here?
03:46I just thought that...
03:47Because he had no right to.
03:48When did anyone ever pressure me into anything, eh?
03:52He knocked on cos he's worried about you.
03:54And I should have come to see you this last week, but...
03:56Oh, no.
03:57No, Bernie.
03:58No, you don't need to apologise.
04:00It should be me coming to see you, but...
04:03I didn't know what to say.
04:06I was too scared.
04:09Oh, Bernie, I'm so sorry.
04:12I know.
04:13I know, sweetheart.
04:14I know.
04:15Listen, right.
04:20The accident...
04:21It wasn't your fault.
04:26I was over the limit.
04:27I know.
04:29But I don't want you going to prison for it.
04:32Your time's precious, and...
04:34I don't want you spending it in jail.
04:37You should plead not guilty.
04:40And I didn't ask her to say that.
04:42I could get a suspended sentence.
04:44But you might not.
04:45If she pleads not guilty, we can gather medical evidence,
04:48challenge the police report,
04:51reduce the charges.
04:52You're more than likely to get a suspended sentence that way.
04:55Right, then.
04:56That's what you should do.
04:58And that's what Billy would want.
05:02I know he would.
05:07You look as bad as I feel.
05:10Thanks.
05:13You're not sleeping very well.
05:15No.
05:16Same.
05:16How's Theo doing?
05:21Recovering slowly.
05:23I'm glad to hear it.
05:26I got the photo from Bernie.
05:33It was Paul's favourite.
05:36He'll be perfect.
05:37Perfect.
05:46And in the meantime,
05:48he can watch over me.
05:51Help me write his eulogy.
05:55You're very brave doing that.
05:56I think I'd just fall to pieces.
05:59Well, I might too, but...
06:02I want to.
06:04I owe it to him.
06:07He's got such a beautiful smile.
06:14I'm sorry.
06:16It's OK.
06:16Don't bottle it up.
06:23I just still can't quite believe that he's gone.
06:27I know.
06:29I get that Debbie's not well, right,
06:32but she shouldn't have been driving,
06:34and I'm sorry, but she has to pay for what she's done.
06:39Hi.
06:43We're going to use it for the funeral.
06:45Yeah, it's a good one in here.
06:49Yeah.
06:52Yeah, it certainly is.
06:55Finally realised the food here is the best on the street.
06:57Yeah, I mean, it's certainly an excellent pub fair, isn't it?
07:00Pub fair?
07:01Did your chef train in a Michelin-starred restaurant?
07:05No.
07:05Didn't think so.
07:06I'm not denigrating all his cooking.
07:08He's great at what he does.
07:09Yes.
07:10Yes, he is great.
07:11Why did you have to call it pub fair?
07:16Because he is.
07:17I thought you were meant to be the tactful one in your family.
07:18What are you doing back?
07:23Screw called.
07:24He's been suspended.
07:25What did you do?
07:26Nothing.
07:27He graffitied Cairn's car, thinking it was Mr Osborne's.
07:29You did what?
07:31Ah, it was you.
07:32What did he write?
07:33Let's just say it was more of a symbol.
07:36What kind of symbol?
07:37A bit of the male anatomy.
07:41Look, it wasn't me.
07:42They found the can in your locker.
07:44Yeah, well, someone obviously put it there.
07:46Is this because you got detention?
07:47No, he hates me, right?
07:48Because of him, I'm going to miss the athletic championship.
07:51I need to go to that.
07:52You have to speak to him.
07:53If nobody saw him do it, how can they be sure?
07:56He can't miss the championships, Ben.
08:00Fine.
08:00I'll have a word.
08:02But you see if it was you.
08:03It wasn't.
08:05You did it, didn't you?
08:07And don't even bother lying to me.
08:09Yeah, he deserved it.
08:10If anybody finds out that you attacked him at Christmas,
08:13it won't be suspension you'll be facing.
08:15It'll be the police.
08:17From now on, any time you see Mr Osborne,
08:20I want only sweetness and light.
08:23Do I make myself clear?
08:30Morning.
08:31Morning.
08:32It's nearly afternoon.
08:33Why didn't someone wake me?
08:34Actually, where is David?
08:35He's gone to the hospital.
08:37He's there to let you sleep in.
08:39Mm-mm.
08:40I suppose I needed it, eh?
08:42Oh, I feel like I've been hit by a freight train.
08:44I'm not surprised.
08:46He also said to make sure you had a good breakfast.
08:48So, I got pot-tarts.
08:51Oh, no.
08:54We used to love them as kids.
08:55I didn't think they even still made them.
08:57That shop in the corner had some.
08:58Got the chocolate ones.
08:59Oh, my favourite.
09:01I remembered.
09:03Oh, I, um, already top again.
09:05I hope you don't mind.
09:06No, not at all.
09:07Good job they're the same size, eh?
09:09Oh, it's David.
09:16He said that the consultant has seen Harper and she's doing really well.
09:19Oh, that's amazing.
09:21Oh.
09:21She's a tough little nut.
09:22She's got your genes.
09:24Eh, do you want to come and see her again?
09:26Can I?
09:26Of course you can.
09:27She's got your genes and all, hasn't she?
09:28Why don't you have a rest, eh?
09:43Can I read what I've got so far?
09:47See what you think?
09:49Yeah, if you like.
09:50Billy was my best friend and a beautiful man inside and out.
10:04It's not hard to eulogise about him because he had so many amazing qualities.
10:10But above all, he was a man of devotion.
10:16To God.
10:18But also to his late husband, Paul.
10:21To his daughter, Summer.
10:23To his parishioners.
10:27To his many, many friends.
10:30Look, should you even be doing this?
10:33How do you mean?
10:37You're obviously still struggling with your guilt.
10:42And although I can keep telling you it's not your fault,
10:46I know you feel responsible for him being on that bus.
10:48I just don't want you standing up there and falling to pieces.
10:55I think it'll be too much for you.
10:58Why don't you let, erm, why don't you let Summer do it?
11:01Or, or, or, or, or Bernie do the other thing?
11:05I want to do it.
11:06But are you doing it for the right reasons, though?
11:09Is it for Billy?
11:13Or is it to make yourself feel better?
11:15Do you know what?
11:20Maybe I will take that break.
11:22That sounds good to me.
11:23Listen, why don't you come and sit with me and let me give you a cuddle?
11:24You need to go for a drive, all right?
11:26Clear my head.
11:27Do you want me to come with you?
11:28No.
11:29I need to be by myself.
11:32But I am going to do that eulogy.
11:35It's going to be hard.
11:37But you do hard things for the people you love.
11:42She's going to plead not guilty, isn't she?
11:48I hope so.
11:50Deborah Webster.
11:52You are charged with causing the death of William Mayhew by dangerous driving.
11:58A second charge of dangerous driving.
12:00And a third charge of driving under the influence of excess alcohol on January 2nd, 2026.
12:10How do you plead to the charges?
12:12Guilty.
12:21To all of them.
12:42I hope you're happy now.
12:46Kev.
12:47He persuaded her to plead guilty.
12:49No, he didn't.
12:51It was my decision.
12:52But why?
12:52After everything we talked about what Bernie said.
12:54Because I am guilty.
12:57And I'm the one that's got to live with myself.
13:00Anyway, I'm not discussing this anymore.
13:03Well, I think you've been very brave.
13:05Let's hope they go easy on you.
13:06She won't be here at all if it wasn't for you.
13:08We need to talk.
13:14He denied it, of course.
13:16Could he be telling the truth?
13:18It was definitely him.
13:19He should pay for it to be clean.
13:21Or clean it himself.
13:23Come on, a bit of graph to learn him.
13:25Oh, here we go.
13:28Daniel.
13:29Look, before you say anything, yes, I am sure it was Will, and no, the suspension won't
13:33be reversed.
13:34He said somewhere else put the can in his locker.
13:36Did he tell you that we checked his hands?
13:38No.
13:39No?
13:39There was spray paint on them.
13:41Well, I'd say that's bank to rights.
13:43Mm-hmm.
13:44All right, so maybe he did do it.
13:46But listen, he's new.
13:47He's still trying to fit in.
13:49I don't care.
13:50Daniel, I swear I'll get him to apologise.
13:52Can you please just reinstate him?
13:54He's got this athletic championship coming up.
13:55Can you tell him how important it is?
13:57He's pretty major.
13:58So is paint spraying my car with obscenities?
14:01Yeah, he's right.
14:02I'm sorry, but the answer's no.
14:04I totally get why you suspended him.
14:14And yes, he should be responsible for removing it.
14:16He certainly should.
14:19But he's right.
14:21This tournament is really important.
14:24Couldn't you ask Mrs. Croshaw if she could let him take part still?
14:27Why should I?
14:28Honestly, because it affects me.
14:30Will's my star student, and if he doesn't run, then the school won't qualify for the next round,
14:36which could make a pretty big difference to my standing as coach.
14:38Sorry, sorry.
14:44That's practically, like, emotional blackmail.
14:49Forget I said anything.
14:50I've come across her before.
14:54She's tough.
14:55She's going to push for the maximum sentence.
14:57What does that mean?
14:59Custodio.
15:00Now, how do you know she's going to push for that?
15:01I mean, has she no heart?
15:02Doesn't she know the situation?
15:04I know because I spoke to her after the hearing.
15:06She referred to the police report, which cites you as compass menace.
15:09Well, that's wrong.
15:10Is it?
15:11Maybe you should have laid it on a bit thicker.
15:13I told the truth, as I remember it.
15:15But we can still get a medical assessment, can't we?
15:19Argue against a police report?
15:21Well, now Debbie's pleaded guilty, we can get an assessment to, you know, use as mitigation,
15:25which will hopefully suggest she's too ill for prison.
15:28It may or may not work.
15:29They can't send her to prison, not with her diagnosis.
15:31Imagine the stress it will put her under.
15:33It could accelerate her decline.
15:35I'll be saying all this, don't worry.
15:38It's okay, Ronnie.
15:39No, it's not okay.
15:41The time we've got together is precious.
15:43I can't lose you, Deb.
15:44You're not going to lose me.
15:46You'll never lose me.
15:48Just do what it takes.
15:50I'll do my absolute best.
16:00She's so tiny.
16:03Hmm.
16:03Hello.
16:04Like a little dog.
16:06She's the most fragile thing I've ever seen.
16:09When will they remove the tumour?
16:12In a couple of months, when she's stronger.
16:17I really hope I don't mess her up.
16:22Of course you won't.
16:24Well, I did Clayton.
16:26I wasn't a good mum.
16:27I bet you were.
16:30I mean, I was 13.
16:33I didn't have a clue what I was doing.
16:35I had no money.
16:36I had to work three jobs,
16:37and then he just got palmed off on the neighbours all the time.
16:40Was your mum no help?
16:42What do you think?
16:44What, long after that that I left?
16:46Mainly sofa surfing or getting involved with dodgy blokes.
16:49I mean, I managed to keep a roof over our heads,
16:52but that was about it.
16:53Must have been hard for you.
16:56Hmm.
16:58Do you want kids?
17:01Someday.
17:04And that bloke you're going out with?
17:06Oh, can we not talk about him?
17:08Sorry.
17:08Sorry.
17:08Who knows?
17:17Maybe I'll end up settling round here.
17:19Get some training in as a good auntie.
17:23See what happens.
17:25I'd like that.
17:32What are you doing sparing Daniel's car like that?
17:35Which wasn't even his, by the way.
17:36You lied to me.
17:37What are you talking about?
17:39You told me you weren't going to sleep with him,
17:41and now he thinks you're pregnant.
17:42I heard him in the pub.
17:45So that's what you were upset about?
17:47Well, are you?
17:48Pregnant?
17:49No, no.
17:50Well, I've been sleeping with him.
17:53Look...
17:54You promised you wouldn't.
17:55That was before Lauren got suspicious.
17:57I needed to cement things with Daniel to get her off our case.
18:00We could have found another way.
18:02Me seeing Daniel is the perfect cover for us, right?
18:04If I want the world to think that me and him
18:06were having a relationship,
18:07then I need to keep things going,
18:09so eventually, yeah,
18:11I would need to sleep with him.
18:12That's the reality.
18:13I'm sorry.
18:14I just hate the thought of you being with him like that.
18:17I don't enjoy it.
18:20I imagine it's you.
18:21You're the one I want to be having a relationship with.
18:25What?
18:26What if you fall in love with him?
18:27That won't happen.
18:28How do you know?
18:29Because I love you.
18:33I love you too.
18:35I persuaded him to speak to Mrs. Corshaw.
18:38He's going to ask if you can take part in the tournament.
18:40Really?
18:41See?
18:42And he's saying Daniel does have its upsides.
18:52Hey.
18:55You did the right thing.
18:59Yeah.
19:00I know I did.
19:01And you avoided a trial.
19:06I might go to prison, though.
19:10How am I going to cope in prison?
19:16Carl.
19:18I'm frightened.
19:20I know.
19:22I know.
19:24Me too.
19:25You'll be here, won't you?
19:28Don't go rushing off back to Germany.
19:31Be here.
19:31Yeah?
19:33I'll be here.
19:35Promise?
19:38Yeah, promise.
19:47Hello?
19:48Oh, thanks for calling me back, yeah.
19:51I, um...
19:52I need to book an appointment.
19:55Through termination.
19:58It's half past three.
