00:09Yeah. What are you doing? It's five plus five. Yeah, I couldn't sleep, could I? Again? Well, I just, I
00:16woke up and you weren't there. I was worried. I'm fine. You're not, though, are you? Far from it. Don't.
00:23Don't you do that. Just got a lot on my mind, that's it. Like what?
00:28I like getting this VAT done, because if I don't do it, they'll slap a fine on me. And I
00:33tell you what, if this don't send me to sleep, nothing will.
00:39Hey, well, do you want a nip to the sweetenough? I know how much you like their milkshakes. Yeah, and
00:47can I have some cake to go with?
00:48Oh, well, of course it is. Yes, absolutely, I'm sure. Well, thank you for checking. Okay. Bye.
00:58Oh, Mrs. Croshaw pecking my head. Honestly, you'd think she'd have better things to do.
01:02Well, what does she want? She thinks I should take some time off. Well, you've been under a lot of
01:07pressure. It might help, you know, give you time to reflect.
01:11I think that's probably the worst thing that I could do right now, ruminate on my bad decisions.
01:15But that run-in that you had with Megan, you were absolutely incandescent.
01:19Hiya. Hey, hey, should have seen Hope this morning. She couldn't wait to get off to school.
01:23Really? That's not a sentence that I hear every day.
01:26She did her own work too, her poem, like you said.
01:28To be fair, it was absolutely fantastic. I didn't realise she had that type of thing in her.
01:32Had to step out into the yard, you know, take a few deep breaths.
01:35Yeah. It's amazing what a young child can achieve when they set their mind to it.
01:39I'll see you later then. Mm-hmm.
01:43You're a good teacher, Daniel. Stay strong and keep a calm head on your shoulders.
01:50Yeah, well, when I first heard, I just assumed it must have been an accident.
01:54Yeah, same here.
01:55You know, every time I go and put the bins out the back, I just think of him, you know,
01:59lying there.
01:59Just awful when something like that happens so close to home, isn't it?
02:03Yeah.
02:03Yeah.
02:05Oh, me and Gary bumped into Summer yesterday. She was in such a state.
02:09Everyone's got the breaking point.
02:10I know. We'll have to make sure that we keep a close eye on her.
02:12Yeah. Yeah, definitely. She needs her mates.
02:15Right, anyway, thank you. See you later.
02:17Take care, Asha.
02:18I've been thinking, and I think we should go back to the police again.
02:22Well, we were only there yesterday. I'd be sick of sight of me.
02:25Anyway, we can't talk about this here. Why didn't you tell me this before?
02:28Because Lily doesn't miss a trick.
02:30Well, and that one does.
02:32I mean, she might look like she's not got a thought in her head, but trust me, her ears will
02:35be flapping.
02:36What are you two whispering about?
02:37No, just, you know, secret sexy time with a red-blooded male and his lady wife.
02:46Please.
02:47Ignore him and mix it up as he goes along.
02:48Right, so I'll see you later, you fool.
02:51See you. See you.
02:52All right.
02:55Coffee with two shots.
02:57Ooh, just what I needed. Thanks.
03:00I didn't like the idea of your waving scissors around on four hours sleep.
03:03Right, I'm doing a butty run.
03:05Usual for you.
03:06Big bag of chips.
03:07Half a dozen Alka-pots.
03:10Tuna salad on seeded sourdough, Tom.
03:12Could you be any more boring?
03:14Actually, you know what?
03:15Scrap that, David.
03:16Me and my hubby are going to go and have some quality time at the bistro.
03:19Well, that's the first I've heard.
03:21It's been made of money.
03:25I just thought it might be nice for us to spend a bit of time together.
03:30Maybe you and me could have a little talk.
03:32Oh, no.
03:34We're in the doghouse again.
03:37Something's going on me and Gary.
03:39You've been so wound up since Theo died.
03:41And look, I know, I know that we're all shaken and whatever we thought of him, it's still a shock.
03:46But I, I don't know, there's just something, like, you're acting weird.
03:52I've not been any weirder than normal.
03:55We're family, Gary, right?
03:56So whatever one of us does, it affects us all.
04:01There's something that you want to tell me?
04:06Hey, come on, I love you, right?
04:08Whatever happens, I've always got your back.
04:14You, you didn't hurt Theo, did you?
04:20I did something stupid, babe.
04:27You know, his van got smashed in.
04:28Yeah.
04:29Well, that was me.
04:30What?
04:31What were you thinking?
04:32I don't know, I just wanted to send him a message, you know.
04:34I wanted to get rid of him and let Todd live his life.
04:36Did anyone see you?
04:37No.
04:38Are you sure?
04:39I'm positive.
04:40What about CCTV?
04:41Deleted it.
04:42And there's definitely no back-ups?
04:44It's gone.
04:45No evidence.
04:46Oh.
04:47Look, we've got nothing to worry about, all right?
04:50I'm in the clear.
04:52Promise.
04:56Come on.
04:59They were wearing our glad rags, all dressed up, dancing the night away,
05:03and Theo was lying there, dead, across the street.
05:06Gives me the willies just thinking about it.
05:09True enough.
05:10You never know your minutes.
05:12Maggie!
05:13Wasn't expecting to see you here.
05:16Queen of the rovers.
05:17Where else would I be?
05:18I keep telling her to take it easy, but she won't listen.
05:20Well, she's not going to let a little arts.
05:22That slow you down, are you, love?
05:23Am I right?
05:23You're so right.
05:24I bet the grim reaper took one look at you and turned around and legged it, didn't he?
05:27There, that's my mind you're talking about.
05:29Do you want me to come around there and give you a slap?
05:30She made her tough stuff.
05:31I'm paying her a compliment.
05:40I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet.
05:42You need to give me more time.
05:43Too late.
05:44We had a deadline.
05:45Ben, can I speak to you, please?
05:47That barrel needs changing, and I hope you don't expect me to drag myself up and down those steps.
05:52Don't be daft.
05:53I'll do it now.
05:54I'll catch up with you later, yeah?
05:58I am not a well woman, and yet every time I turn around, you're there, hovering like a vulture.
06:04Don't try to play me.
06:06I know what you're like.
06:07It'd suit you down to the ground if I croaked it.
06:10You can't wait to step over my cold, dead body to get to will.
06:14Seeing that you're under the weather, I'll give you the benefit of doubt, all right?
06:17You've got until the end of today.
06:29Hey, George, I had to let you go, mate. How are you?
06:32Never cope with a life of crime, me, Gary.
06:34Poor nerves are shot to pieces.
06:35He's aged ten years overnight.
06:39Oh, no, not again.
06:40Are you kidding me?
06:42It's taken every bit of willpower I've got not to leg it.
06:44Good afternoon, gents.
06:46Lisa Love, dear Sw...
06:49Connor Swain.
06:51Honest to God, it wasn't me. I don't know what else I can tell you.
06:53Actually, it's not you I'm after.
06:57Gary.
06:59Struck a look, we saw you coming in here.
07:01What, you want me?
07:02Would you mind coming to the station?
07:04We'd like you to answer a few questions.
07:12All right, sir? You make that pole, yeah?
07:15Oh, yeah. Yeah, I did. Absolutely brilliant.
07:18Yeah, all right. I've got to give you the top marks.
07:21Oh, you're an optimist, Hope.
07:23I'll give you that.
07:24Go on, where'd you get it? The internet?
07:26Or did you use AI?
07:28You can't go around accusing me of cheating.
07:30Where's your proof?
07:31I don't need proof, Hope. I know that you cheated.
07:33In fact, I'd state my reputation.
07:34Oh, my dears, your rep's down the toilet.
07:37That's enough.
07:38It's true. Nobody takes you seriously anymore.
07:41Go on, keep going. I'll speak to you later.
07:43Yeah, whatever.
07:45Fancy my notice and your girlfriend's into kids.
07:47What did you just say?
07:48What?
07:49Nothing, sir.
07:52So, remind us, where were you the night of Thursday, the 23rd of April?
07:57Like I said, I was at the yard working late.
08:00How late?
08:02I don't know.
08:03I got back about 10, 15, something like that.
08:05That is a late one.
08:06Is that normal for you?
08:08I was catching up on admin.
08:10I hate doing it, so I put it off till last minute.
08:14Look, I couldn't get any peace at home.
08:16I think the lads were playing some game, making a racket, so...
08:19I'd like to read you something.
08:21A text you sent to Theo Silverton.
08:23It says, I'm coming for you.
08:27What did you mean by that?
08:30I was just mouthing off, weren't I?
08:31So you tell him that you're coming for him,
08:33and next thing we found, that he's got his head staved in.
08:36Bit of a coincidence, innit?
08:37No, I said it in the heat at the moment.
08:39Sounds more like a threat to me.
08:40I was sticking up for my mate.
08:42Come on, what he was doing to Todd, it was...
08:44It wasn't right.
08:45So you wanted to teach him a lesson?
08:47I was at work.
08:50I take it you've got a CCTV in the yard.
08:53Well, I have, yeah, but it...
08:56It automatically wipes at the end of the week.
08:58Well, we'll take it anyway.
08:59Get our resident techie on it.
09:01Yeah, he's great, PC Rwani.
09:03He's one of them genius geeky types.
09:05Takes it personally and he can't crack something.
09:06He goes all man versus machine,
09:08so hopefully he'll be able to retrieve it for us.
09:13Here.
09:13Here.
09:44Hello, are you all right?
09:46You all right?
09:48Hey, you ain't seen Gary, have you?
09:49Me?
09:50Um, no, why?
09:52Well, I was supposed to be here at one o'clock.
09:54Oh, no, maybe stuck in traffic or something.
09:56It's nearly two now, though.
09:59Why don't you come join me for a bit?
10:01Oh, I'm working.
10:03Oh, right, so you're just going to leave me sat here
10:05when we all, like, really know me?
10:06All right, I'll go and sit in a different bit.
10:12You know, I don't know what's up with him lately.
10:15He's just not been himself at all.
10:18Um, maybe he's just struggling, you know, with work and stuff.
10:22It's just that whole cost-of-living crisis, isn't it?
10:24It's just...
10:25No, it's definitely more than that.
10:27He's just, like, really on edge, you know?
10:30Like, he's probably troubled about something.
10:32Hi, Maria.
10:34Hiya, you all right?
10:35I know you're supposed to be meeting Gary, but, uh...
10:37What's happened?
10:39We've taken him in for questioning,
10:40and we'd like a quick chat with you, too, if that's all right.
10:42Um, yeah, yeah, of course.
10:45Best do it down at the station, get it on tape.
10:47What now?
10:48Please.
10:49If you don't mind.
10:50Yeah.
10:55Here.
11:03Oh, you got a minute?
11:05Uh, not really, sir. It's brick.
11:07Well, you can use that time.
11:08You can write me a poem, can't you?
11:10Oh, well, you see, I am a creative, so I can't really do it to water.
11:13Oh, you're waiting for the muse to strike?
11:15Yeah, exactly.
11:17Creativity is the result of hard work, preparation and consistent effort.
11:21You've got to pursue inspiration, Hope, not sit around and wait for it to appear.
11:26Fine.
11:26I'll do it right now.
11:28Can I borrow you for a sec?
11:29Turn around.
11:30I mean, at least go into a classroom.
11:32No, you know what?
11:33You want a poem?
11:33I will give you a poem right now.
11:35You're being ridiculous, Hope.
11:37Miss Rosborn must be thick.
11:39He was dating a woman who was totally sick.
11:42Stop it.
11:43She had a thing with a student.
11:44What rhymes with student?
11:46Shut up!
11:46Ah!
11:50All right.
11:51Okay, everyone, let's just calm down a bit, shall we?
11:53You can't touch me.
11:54That's assault.
11:55I didn't touch you.
11:56You've lost your head.
11:58I'm going to tell Miss Carshaw.
12:23All right, you can go.
12:25Honestly, it never ceases to amaze me,
12:27the lengths that people go to, to avoid embarrassment.
12:31Maria told us everything.
12:33She said that you wasn't on your own that night at the yard.
12:37She was with you.
12:39Why?
12:41Popped in on her way home from the wedding.
12:44Bit of private time.
12:48Well, you know, didn't want to say.
12:54Well, luckily for you, that Maria wasn't quite shy about it.
12:57But we'll let you know if we've got any more questions.
13:10One last five minutes in prison, me.
13:12Too much of a soft touch.
13:14There you go, gents.
13:16On the house.
13:17Ah, cheers, Ben.
13:18That's very kind of you.
13:19How are you holding up?
13:21Ah, you know.
13:26Hey, I don't want to keep asking about your feelings and stuff,
13:29you know, pecking your head.
13:33But, truthfully,
13:36I feel so alone.
13:38What am I? Scotch mist?
13:41Don't get used to it, I suppose.
13:44Hey, come on.
13:44What about all your mates?
13:46Don't ask me to list them, because I'll be here all day.
13:49It's like I don't know how to feel.
13:54I'm drowning, George.
13:57You just haven't had time to process everything, have you?
14:01You're still in shock.
14:03Just give it time.
14:09Mrs. Crawshaw was going into a meeting with a parent,
14:11otherwise I think she might have sat me right then and there.
14:14I'm sure it won't come to that.
14:16Really, Dad?
14:17With what happened to you?
14:18Yeah, but the different thing,
14:20I actually slapped Aidan Critchley,
14:22and you told me you never laid a finger on home.
14:24I didn't. I didn't.
14:26This could still be the final nail in my coffin, though.
14:29I hope you're an excellent teacher.
14:31They won't want to lose you.
14:33Hmm.
14:34Well, I'm seeing Crawshaw tomorrow,
14:36so I guess I'm going to find out soon enough.
14:41Oh, here you are.
14:42Sipping your pint, not a care in the world.
14:44Tyrone, look, I truly am sorry about today.
14:46I mean, first of all,
14:48you accuse her of cheating.
14:50And then,
14:51you scare the living daylights out of her.
14:52I didn't mean to, honestly.
14:54Do you know what?
14:54I'm sick of bully boys.
14:56Bullying innocent people,
14:58thinking they can get away with it.
14:59Tyrone, I am truly sorry,
15:01and I'm more than happy to apologise to Hope in person.
15:03You'll go nowhere nearer.
15:06You stay to teach us down where they are nowadays, eh?
15:08I mean, first of all,
15:09you've got your pervy bird,
15:10and now you're throwing your weight about.
15:12It's a joke.
15:13It's a joke.
15:51Oh, for goodness sake!
15:53What?
15:54Have you left that sausage roll there,
15:55half eaten?
15:56Honestly, what a waste.
15:58Crumbs everywhere.
15:59You having a laugh?
16:01Why would I abandon the sausage roll halfway through?
16:04Yeah, you're right.
16:04Actually, it must have been Lily.
16:06Just leave it.
16:06I'll get David to Uber it up once he's back from Doggy Decker.
16:11Hey, you know what?
16:12Actually, the more I think about it,
16:14the more I think you're right about Jodie.
16:16Well, finally.
16:17About what?
16:18Are we being irresponsible not going to the police
16:20about the blokes from the haulage firm?
16:22I've been saying that all along,
16:24but you said it still makes us a target.
16:26Yeah, well, we've got to do something, haven't we?
16:27I mean, we can't carry on like this.
16:30Well, why don't we give it one more day?
16:32If she's not back by tea time tomorrow,
16:34then we'll go down cop shopping.
16:36Let's go.
16:45What have I told you?
16:47I'm only here to wet me whistle.
16:49Sparkling water and a slice of lime,
16:51if that isn't too scandalous.
16:53Only look out for your heart, ma.
16:54It's too late.
16:56It's broken.
16:57Smashed into smithereens.
16:59The state of this family.
17:02We'll get through it together,
17:03like we always think.
17:04This time I'm not so sure.
17:08I've been thinking about Melanie's proposal.
17:11And, you know,
17:12it might not be the worst thing could happen.
17:15Are you kidding me?
17:17You'd let her take Will away,
17:19break up this family?
17:20It doesn't have to be forever.
17:22Just a couple of months or so.
17:25Kill two birds with one stone.
17:27Melanie feels like she's doing her bit,
17:28and we get our boy away from Megan.
17:32I mean, there is, I suppose.
17:34And while he's away,
17:35the dust will settle,
17:36and the gossips will move on to someone else.
17:38And then we can talk about bringing him home
17:40where he belongs.
17:47Hi-hi.
17:48Something smells good.
17:49Oh.
17:50I got us a take-out from the bistro.
17:52I just was not in the mood for cooking.
17:54Fair enough.
17:55Me neither.
17:57Bad day in the office.
17:59I heard you took Gary in for questioning.
18:02Well, nothing gets past you, does it?
18:05You got me booked or something.
18:06So, how come you like targeting him, then?
18:09Because, I don't know,
18:09it just doesn't make any sense to me at all.
18:12What makes you say that?
18:13Because I know him,
18:14and he loves Maria,
18:17he adores the kids.
18:18I just, I don't think he would
18:19do anything to jeopardise that,
18:21not for a lowlife like Theo.
18:23Yeah, but he's got a right temper on him.
18:25You know that.
18:26Yeah, true.
18:28I don't know, though.
18:28It's like, he's mellowed a lot over the years.
18:30He's not such a hothead anymore.
18:32So, are you going to have to
18:33keep him in overnight, then, or...?
18:35He's already out.
18:36He'll be at home right now,
18:38sitting at home,
18:38lounging around in his underpants.
18:40It's all good.
18:42So, will you have to talk to him again, or...?
18:45Sarah, you know I can't talk about things like this.
18:47I'll get sacked.
18:48I know, it's just...
18:50He's been a really good friend to me,
18:52and there's, like, a lot of water
18:53under the bridge there, so...
18:55Anyway, right, be honest with me.
18:57You don't think he did it, though, do you?
18:58Like, you, personally.
19:00No, I don't.
19:01I'm...
19:02I'm pretty sure he's going to be off the hook.
19:05Stop worrying.
19:11I can't believe he did it.
19:13Well, Lisa said that they wanted to look at your CCTV,
19:15so I just told her that I'd made you wipe it.
19:17But, I mean, as if we'd have a bunk-up in this dump
19:18when we got a better customer.
19:20What can I say?
19:21We totally bought it.
19:22Look, I'm dead grateful, but I hope you haven't dropped yourself in it.
19:25What else could I do?
19:27Well, you're lying to the police.
19:28It's perverting the course of justice.
19:30You end up being the slammer, I'd never forgive myself.
19:33Well, if you were telling me the truth about what happened that night,
19:35then there won't be a problem, will there?
19:37Look, like I said,
19:38I was here,
19:40and I left at 1 past 10.
19:42OK?
19:45Aw.
19:46Aw, do you know, I'm not one to blow my own trumpet,
19:50but we do make a very handsome purple, don't we?
19:53Yeah, we'd scrub it well, didn't we?
19:54Do you?
19:55Aw, look at that one.
19:56Stay, have you got three sheets to the wind?
19:59You can talk,
20:00you can barely walk in a straight line.
20:02Well, that bomb's silly,
20:03one more drink.
20:04Oh, I thought you'd never ask Sam again.
20:06I'm just going to have a little touch-up.
20:09Later.
20:10As soon as we get on, mate.
20:11Oh, what's happening?
20:12Oh, what's happening?
20:12Oh, this is so silly.
20:14Oh.
20:17Oh.
20:18Oh.
20:18Oh.
