05:39not anymore. right. adam barlow. okay. has dredged up another witness called damien.
05:46right. who is the son of another woman who died. but it's all completely trumped up.
05:51our barrister is gonna make mincemeat of him.
05:54i mean he did try to reason with him in a nice way.
05:58which he's now spinning as bribery. me.
06:01oh george.
06:06oh that's all i need.

06:21well if you will go around representing loons and perverts.
06:24if you will go around dating them.
06:38you know i'm surprised they even let you out of the hospital.
06:40hmm it's not that big a deal.
06:46look to us it is. but not to them.
06:51they were nice. they offered me counsel them. but.
06:55women lose babies all the time will.
06:58but we didn't lose ours though. it was murdered.
07:01maybe this is a sign.
07:04a good out for you. things are getting too real.
07:07split up. no megan we can't let her get away with this.
07:11she will.
07:12megan she killed our baby.
07:22you're not going to arrest the chef are you?
07:25at least wait until we get us food.

07:46it was jodie's idea actually.
07:49really?
07:49yeah one of the families that she nannies for is indian.
07:52oh yeah i think she's nannied for quite a few families hasn't she?
07:55you'll have had to get loads of references won't you?
07:58no carla did the background checks.
08:00i mean no offence but we don't know jodie for madam.
08:03you can't afford to take chances so.
08:05no.
08:06did you check out jodie's credentials did you?
08:09i'll be very careful how you answer that.
08:12cheers.
08:13thank you. i'll see you later.
08:15enjoy your food.
08:18did you though?
08:19before you let her mind lily.
08:22come on have you met lily?
08:24put her and jodie in a room.
08:25who do you think is one doing the minding?
08:30too spicy apparently.
08:33funny how he cleared the plate.
08:35forget the plate i'm trying to talk to you.
08:37you're gonna send him to an early grave.
08:39violence is not the answer.
08:40how many times have you preached that?
08:41the hand-wringing was getting us nowhere.
08:44the girl is.
08:45she's pregnant.
08:46with will's baby.
08:47lying through her teeth.
08:48probably looking for compo.
08:50well she'll get it now won't she?
08:52and if will had steered clear of her like he promised he would.
08:55you'll be saying he was asking to be grouped next.
08:59no go on keep shouting.
09:01i can't hear you over by flying horse.
09:03don't you take that tone.
09:05if i hadn't discovered that you were playing hooky.
09:09oh it's sherlock holmes here.
09:11how did you know where i was nan?
09:12oh come on tell us.
09:13yeah that's a really good point.
09:15none of us know where she lived.
09:16she put a tracker in my coat.
09:18you tracked my son.
09:20without my permission.
09:21sorry your permission?
09:22mm.
09:23i had a good job i did.
09:24all this i'm too anxious for a school act.
09:27hang on a minute.
09:28this tracker could be the proof that we need.
09:30that what?
09:30that i went back to megan's new flat.
09:32so what?
09:33to show that she's still got her claws in.
09:35and why?
09:35because it's not daniel's baby.
09:37like she's saying.
09:38i went to tell her that i still love her.
09:41oh.
09:42she laughed at me.
09:43she told me if i went back there.
09:45she'd get me done for stalking.
09:47that's all your precious tracker proves.
09:49that i'm a stalker and you're a bully.
10:10that's funny isn't it?
10:12you used to write for these magazines now you're buying them.
10:14is it funny brian?
10:16or is it a heart-breaking study in thwarted ambition?
10:19a metaphor even.
10:20the girl who flew too close to the sun.
10:23yeah.
10:24a troubling myth.
10:26often used to stunt ambition.
10:28hmm.
10:29hot take.
10:30hey.
10:30you could have got a whole lesson out of that.
10:32if you'd have still had students instead of sherbet dib-dabs.
10:35schooled as they say.
10:37you can buy me off with a jelly snake.
10:39do not tell rita.
10:42oh.
10:42allow me.
10:45awww.

11:29you've won okay?
11:30tell that to ds swain.
11:32she's chasing me for a statement.

11:46i've had a miscarriage.
11:48so you can tell us then?

12:01but who cares about him eh?
12:03lisa swain didn't mention that.
12:06i rang her from the hospital.
12:08yeah i said i'm dropping the complaint.
12:10i am sick.
12:11of the police sniffing about in my life.
12:13and i am sick of all of this.
12:16not everything's a power play maggie.
12:19some things are too personal for that.
12:26but he's a good barrister.
12:28you know he is solid.
12:29and he's a steady hand on the tiller.
12:33he's totally outclassed.
12:34oh.
12:35by barlow.
12:36and he's three in japan broads.
12:38extorting money from defenceless widows.
12:40interfering with witnesses.
12:42maybe he's not like don corleone.
12:44when will you know the verdict?

14:49discreetly.
14:50obviously.
14:52yeah, you're sure?
14:53they were never alone together.
14:56always somebody else with them.
14:59she used to help out with the school run.

15:33demon hunter.
15:34you can't let this shake you.
15:38it's too late dad.
15:41i'm gonna be the laughing stock in that staff room.
