00:01It's still me.
00:03I'm really sorry.
00:04I know that you sold your body and things didn't work out.
00:06I'm going to see my boyfriend.
00:08Don't wait up.
00:09I promise everything is gonna be okay.
00:11I lost control of the car, Darren.
00:13The crash was my fault.
00:14Who did this?
00:16Beth.
00:16My stepson has spinal cord damage because of you!
00:51We used to be giants.
00:54When did we stop?
00:58Just say the word and I'll be yours.
01:02You know I never forgot.
01:05The hope and the hurt.
01:07Jack.
01:07We need to find Charlie.
01:10Yeah.
01:10Nancy.
01:11Get a nurse.
01:12My hand would fit in yours.
01:14Like a bird would find a breeze.
01:16We used to be giants.
01:19When did we stop?
01:20Mr. Dean.
01:21We need to interview you regarding the accident.
01:24It's a word and I'll be yours.
01:26You know I never forgot.
01:28We were this song in the silence.
01:31It's a...
01:32Goblin angel!
01:33Save it.
01:34There's no excuse for sleeping with saddles for money.
01:36Word and I'll be yours.
01:39You know I never forgot.
01:41Oh, I still love you though.
01:44I still love you though.
01:48Charlie.
01:50Frankie's awake.
01:52Good.
01:54Right.
01:56When are you going to tell the police what happened?
01:58Jack.
01:58No Nancy.
02:00There's a young man laid up in a hospital bed.
02:02No idea if he might fully recover.
02:05Vicky's life is hanging by a thread.
02:08They need to know why.
02:09We all do.
02:11Charlie.
02:12Do you realise how much trouble you're in?
02:14Yes, Jack.
02:15I know.
02:16And I hate myself for it.
02:19Charlie.
02:21Why do you have to interrogate him?
02:23That's nothing compared to what the police are going to ask him.
02:26Beth's husband has given a statement.
02:28Now if Charlie is at fault,
02:30the sooner he comes clean,
02:32the better.
02:38Hey, Vic.
02:39Vic.
02:40Come on in there, baby.
02:42I love you.
02:47What was that Charlie Dean playing at?
02:49Only passed his test a few days ago.
02:51What think he'd get in the car?
02:54Listen.
02:55How dangerous is our operation?
02:57No more.
02:57She has severe swelling on the brain.
03:00It needs to be reduced to stop any permanent damage.
03:03And if they don't manage to control the swelling?
03:05They will, Dad.
03:06Yeah.
03:07Have faith.
03:14Don't ignore me, babe.
03:15She's trying to make a better life for us.
03:17And you should have been here acting like a proper mom.
03:19You're a hypocrite and a slag, Teresa.
03:22And unlike your boyfriend,
03:23I'm never going to be okay with it.
03:25You know, from now on,
03:26I'm going to do whatever I want to do.
03:28And if you try and stop me,
03:30every person in this village is going to find out
03:32about your dirty little side hustle.
03:34Morning, ladies.
03:35Oh, any of that toast going spare?
03:37Knock yourself out.
03:38I've lost my appetite.
03:40She's investigating this car crash
03:41and I'm not going to work on an empty stomach again.
03:45By the way, Mum, I just wanted to say thanks
03:47for letting me hang out with Ant again tonight.
03:49Just wondering if I could have my pocket money a bit early.
03:51You had a head transplant?
03:53It's okay, Dutch.
04:00Thanks.
04:03Advancement pocket money?
04:05Call with her seeing Ant Hutchinson.
04:07If I were a detective.
04:07As long as she's being safe and responsible,
04:10who am I to judge, eh?
04:12Just because I made mistakes
04:14doesn't mean she's going to...
04:16On the bus.
04:18Bye.
04:23I'm going to be late.
04:26We've got another meeting
04:27with the wedding celebrant
04:28to talk about the order of service,
04:30the music, the readings, the outfits.
04:31Yeah.
04:32Yeah, sorry.
04:33My mind's been...
04:34I swear.
04:35Right.
04:38I know we're bringing the wedding forward
04:40for Tony and Diane, but...
04:43If this is too much after Froggy, then...
04:45Behave.
04:47I can't wait to get married.
04:49I just...
04:49I can't do the meeting today
04:50because we just had a big job
04:52coming in at the garage.
04:53It's, uh...
04:54Yeah, it's top dollar as well.
04:57Eh?
04:58More money for the honeymoon pot?
05:00Yeah.
05:01Look, don't worry about the celebrant.
05:03I can handle it, okay?
05:05Come here.
05:07I'm proud of you, you know.
05:09You're going through grief,
05:10but you're just...
05:11getting on with it.
05:13Yeah.
05:14Well, on that note, I, uh...
05:16I best get dressed for work.
05:19Hey, why don't you go like that?
05:21If I was your new customer,
05:22I'd definitely give you a tip.
05:24Alright, have a good day at the office.
05:26I will.
05:41And me, Katie Jones.
05:43On today's show,
05:44we speak to a family of four
05:45who had a holiday from hell.
05:47We have the latest news
05:48and the red card hit
05:49on the last night's TV awards.
05:51Hey, look at this guy.
05:53I found loads of rehab information
05:54on lighting exercises you can do
05:55once you're feeling better.
05:56Give it a rest, Dad.
05:57Hip abductions,
05:58saying to standard transfer...
05:59I said stop.
06:01Look, I know this seems impossible right now,
06:03but we can do this together.
06:05With every chance you can turn this around.
06:07Every chance I won't.
06:09I should never have taken my seatbelt off.
06:12You're gonna kill that little...
06:13No, you're not doing anything.
06:14Listen.
06:17Let the police deal with it.
06:19Yeah, but you can't get away with this.
06:21Have the police even arrested him?
06:22That doesn't matter right now.
06:24All that matters
06:25is getting our care-fighting fit again.
06:29Look, I'm gonna ring the uni.
06:30Just explain what's happened.
06:32Hopefully you can start your course remotely.
06:34Nah, on triathlete scholarship,
06:36you think they're gonna let me race from my bed?
06:37Okay, just...
06:38Just back off!
06:39Dad.
06:40You're already trying to make decisions for me.
06:42Oi.
06:43Just leave it, Beth. It's fine.
06:44No, it's not.
06:46But I know this is crap now.
06:48But don't take it out on your dad.
06:50And that's so easy for you to say.
06:52You're not the one that might spend
06:53the rest of their life in a wheelchair.
06:57Hi, it's Charlie.
06:58Sorry I can't...
06:59Still going to voicemail.
07:02We need to get to the bottom of this.
07:06Charlie said it was his fault.
07:08Yeah, but that could have been the guilt talking.
07:10Please don't write him off till we know all the facts.
07:12Oh, Nancy, you know I would never write Charlie off.
07:17But if he's got nothing to hide, then why isn't he here?
07:19Maybe because you ran him out the door with your Spanish Inquisition.
07:22You know, that's probably him. He'll have forgotten his key.
07:29Mrs Osborne?
07:30Yeah?
07:31Detective Inspector Honeywell.
07:34This is about dodging.
07:35Since your nephew hasn't presented himself to the station voluntarily,
07:39we're here to escort him.
07:41Where is he?
07:44Hey, Dad.
07:45Hey, mate.
07:46How's Vicky getting on?
07:48She's still in surgery.
07:50I'll tell her we're all thinking of here.
07:52Has your Charlie spoke to the cops yet?
07:54Yeah, I dunno.
07:56He's at home with Nancy at the moment.
07:58We don't know what state my little girl's been in winter comes round.
08:01But I need answers, Dad.
08:03And I hope that your Charlie's able to provide them.
08:05Yeah, of course.
08:07I'll give you a call later, alright?
08:08Cheers.
08:12Oh.
08:14Hey.
08:15But...
08:16She's still groggy.
08:18I thought I'd let you explain about her surgery.
08:23Okay, I will.
08:25Thank you, Mesmer.
08:32Hey.
08:33Vespa said that Vicky's having an operation.
08:36Yeah.
08:37They're doing everything they can to help her.
08:40And what about the van?
08:42The other family?
08:44Listen.
08:46My sister Beth and her family...
08:50were in the removal van.
08:52Yeah.
08:53Dad.
08:54I don't understand what you're talking about.
08:55What?
08:56I don't...
08:57Beth and her husband are okay.
09:00But her stepson...
09:01he's badly injured.
09:04This is all my fault.
09:06Hey, hey.
09:07Hey.
09:08It's a terrible accident, okay?
09:10You're not to blame, alright?
09:11No, I need to speak to Charlie.
09:13Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
09:14You're still recovering?
09:17Dad, what have I done?
09:18Look.
09:21When you were trapped in the car, you injured your foot.
09:26How long is it gonna take to heal?
09:29They said it could take up to six months.
09:32Maybe more.
09:33No.
09:35Dad.
09:37What about Dad's school?
09:40Dad, no.
09:54I don't know.
09:57Alright, lads, I've brought some scram for your mum and Dad.
10:00You had the same idea.
10:01Ah, mighty good kids with a little keeps or tea time.
10:04How are they doing?
10:05You know what Mum's like.
10:06Sending everything's okay for us.
10:08I know, you too.
10:09Hey, it's Kathleen Angel.
10:10One sec.
10:11Alright, I'll catch you up, yeah?
10:12Yeah.
10:14So, how's Rex?
10:15Yeah, he's feeling better.
10:17He was excited to go into work this morning.
10:18He's got some new contracts or something.
10:20So he reopened the carriage then?
10:22What do you mean?
10:22It's never been closed.
10:24I mean, it has.
10:26Rex hasn't been at work since Rocky died.
10:30Hi, it's Charlie.
10:31Sorry I can't get your call.
10:32Please...
10:34Doesn't look good, does it?
10:36He's clearly traumatised.
10:37His best friends were injured in the accident.
10:39All the more reason for him to want to bring the person that caused it to justice.
10:43Nance, we really appreciate you trying.
10:45Cheers, Jack.
10:46We'll get out of your air.
10:47It's been alleged that your nephew was driving dangerously.
10:50That his actions may have caused the crash.
10:53Nancy, you can wait here for Charlie to show, but right now my son and daughter need my support.
10:58Jack.
11:02Even Jack's uncertain of Charlie's innocence.
11:05And avoiding this interview isn't doing him any favours.
11:09I suggest that you find him and you convince him to come and meet us at the station as soon
11:15as possible.
11:29I'm so sorry.
11:33Anomalies in the blood test?
11:35There are things we wouldn't expect to see.
11:38Do you know if she's on any medication?
11:41She's been using GLP ones.
11:43Slimming tabs.
11:45Who on earth would prescribe them to her?
11:48I don't know.
11:49Look, don't tell Dad he's got enough on his plate.
11:51Some people don't have a moral bone in their body.
11:55Here you go. Is it okay?
11:57Yeah.
11:58Hey!
11:59Dad!
12:00Daddy!
12:01Come to finish the job, have you?
12:03That didn't mean for any of this to happen.
12:04Oh, that's a comfort.
12:06My daughter could have life-changing injuries all thanks to you.
12:10I'm sorry?
12:11Well, save that for the officer in charge.
12:13Guess I'm gonna make sure she throws the buck at you.
12:26Beth?
12:34Make yourself useful, stick the kettle on.
12:36Should be in one of them boxes over there.
12:38Okay.
12:42How's your stepson?
12:44Caleb?
12:45Yeah, he's great.
12:47Filled with the joys of spring.
12:50He's contemplating a very different life now, thanks to your grandson.
12:54Or whatever he is to you.
12:57Well, don't worry, I'm not gonna fold like a chair and start sobbing on your shoulder.
13:02That train left a long time ago as far as you and me are concerned.
13:05Beth.
13:07Why didn't you tell me you were moving here?
13:09I'm not after another kidney if that's what you're worried about.
13:11I'm not worried, I'm glad.
13:13I've always wanted a closer relationship with you.
13:16Yeah, could tell by all the birthdays you remembered.
13:18Well, that's not fair.
13:20I went out to Australia to see you.
13:22Yeah, well, I was going through my own things.
13:24Wasn't in the mood to soothe your guilty conscience.
13:27I don't want to fight with you.
13:29I want to support you and your family through this.
13:31Well, how's that gonna work?
13:32When one of your family members caused this?
13:35PHONE RINGS
13:40It's Maddox.
13:41My grandson.
13:43He's on a ski trip. I can't just drop all this on him now.
13:46PHONE RINGS
13:47Beth.
13:51Charlie's a good kid. He really is.
13:54And I know he will take responsibility for whatever he's done.
13:58I give you my word.
14:17Oh, I'm not together.
14:25I'm not together.
14:27See you later.
14:27Hey everyone.
14:27We're doing a good job, but we're doing a good job.
14:27Bye-bye.
14:27Talk about it.
14:27Bye-bye.
14:28Bye-bye.
14:28Bye-bye.
14:29Bye-bye.
14:29Bye-bye.
14:29Can you hear me calling out your name?
14:33You know that I'm falling and I don't know what to say.
14:37I'll speak a little louder, I'll even shout.
14:41You know that I'm proud and I can't get the words out.
14:45Oh, I want to be with you everywhere.
15:04So this is what you've been doing?
15:09Instead of going to work?
15:14You don't have to hide who you are, you know?
15:17Not for me.
15:25So whatever it is that you're exploring,
15:32let me in.
15:40Have you spoken to the police yet?
15:42No.
15:44I'm ready to tell them that the accident was my fault.
15:47I was the one that was going on you to go faster.
15:49Beeping the horn, I made you swerve.
15:51I should never have tried to overtake her,
15:53no matter what you did.
15:56Nanty's been bailing my phone out.
15:59I need to go to the station and say it was my fault.
16:02No.
16:03You can't, because if you take some responsibility,
16:05you're going to go to prison.
16:06So what?
16:07My glittering career as a pizza delivery man is over.
16:10People could have died.
16:13You've got a future, Frankie.
16:15I've not.
16:16No.
16:16Look, I know that this is a mess,
16:18but I can't lose you.
16:19What other choice have we got?
16:25Maybe there's another way.
16:29Hi, Hans.
16:31Could you tell your mum I'm thinking of her?
16:33Yeah, thanks, Mrs. McQueen.
16:37Can we get three sizzling steak and large fries, please?
16:41Can't fall on a lot.
16:42I think you need to be heading back to school soon.
16:45And I don't think you pocket me when you'll stretch that far, babes.
16:47I know, and I already spent it.
16:50You can cover us.
16:58Also?
16:59What are you doing?
17:02Kathleen Angel!
17:03Kathleen, stop, please!
17:06Hmm?
17:06What?
17:07Er, no.
17:16Oops.
17:21So, I know that you dress up.
17:24But I'd like to know what you get out of it.
17:28Like, how does it make you feel?
17:32It makes me feel...
17:34Er, free.
17:38Like I was when I was a kid.
17:40Why did you do this back then?
17:42Sometimes.
17:44But just playing, you know?
17:48I grew up in some truly awful places today.
17:54There were some real bad people.
17:58But there were these working girls that...
18:00And they would fuss over me.
18:03They had so many beautiful clothes.
18:08So, every now and again, I would...
18:11I'd put on a platform, or...
18:15Jewellery, or make-up, and I would just...
18:20Dance.
18:22It used to make them smile.
18:24It used to make me smile.
18:28But then I was firmly told that...
18:32That's not what normal boys do.
18:36And then the shame kicked in.
18:40And I stopped.
18:44You don't have to feel shame.
18:47Not then, and not now.
18:56I love you, Rex.
19:00I...
19:01I do.
19:06I...
19:12All of you.
19:33Charlie, where are you?
19:35I've looked everywhere, and I'm so worried.
19:37You need to get to the police station.
19:39Right...
19:39Charlie!
19:41Are you OK?
19:42I've just spoke to D.I. Honeywell and Dodger.
19:44What did you say?
19:45I told them the truth.
19:47I wasn't driving dangerously, Nancy.
19:48It was Beth's husband.
19:50He caused a crash, not me.
19:53I'm so sorry.
20:17I'm so sorry.
20:19I told him it's only a woman but there's no going to be
