00:00I love you.
00:35What are you doing? It's a plus five.
00:39Yeah, I couldn't sleep, could I?
00:40Again?
00:41Well, I just woke up and you weren't there. I was worried.
00:44I'm fine.
00:46You're not, though, are you? Far from it.
00:48Don't. Don't you do that.
00:51Just got a lot on my mind, that's it.
00:53Like what?
00:54Like getting this VAT done.
00:56Because if I don't do it, they'll slap a fine on me.
00:59And I tell you what, if this don't send me to sleep, nothing will.
01:06Hey, well, do you want a nip to the, sweet love?
01:11I know how much you like their milkshakes.
01:13Yeah, and can I have some cake to go with?
01:16Oh, well, perfect.
01:18Yes, absolutely, I'm sure.
01:21Well, thank you for checking.
01:23OK. Bye.
01:26Mrs. Croshaw pecking my head, honestly.
01:28You'd think she'd have better things to do.
01:30So what does she want?
01:32She thinks I should take some time off.
01:34Well, you've been under a lot of pressure.
01:36It might help, you know, give you time to reflect.
01:39I think that's probably the worst thing that I could do right now,
01:42ruminate on my bad decisions.
01:44Yeah, but that running that you had with Megan,
01:46you were absolutely incandescent.
01:48Hiya.
01:49Hey.
01:50Hey, should have seen Hope this morning.
01:51She couldn't wait to get off to school.
01:52Really?
01:53That's not a sentence that I hear every day.
01:55She did her own work, too, a poem, like you said.
01:58To be fair, it was absolutely fantastic.
02:00I didn't realise she had that type of thing in her.
02:02Had to step out into the yard, you know,
02:04take a few deep breaths.
02:05It's amazing what a young child can achieve
02:07when they set their mind to it.
02:09I'll see you later, then.
02:10Mm-hm.
02:13You're a good teacher, Daniel.
02:15So stay strong and keep a calm head on your shoulders.
02:20Yeah, well, when I first heard,
02:22I just assumed it must have been an accident.
02:24Yeah, same here.
02:25Mm.
02:26You know, every time I go and put the bins out the back,
02:28I just think of him, you know, lying there.
02:30Just awful when something like that happens so close to home, isn't it?
02:34Mm.
02:34Yeah.
02:36Oh, me and Gary bumped into Summer yesterday.
02:38She was in such a state.
02:40Everyone's got the breaking point.
02:42I know.
02:42We'll have to make sure that we keep a close eye on her.
02:44Yeah.
02:45Yeah, definitely.
02:46She needs her mates.
02:47Right, anyway, thank you.
02:48See you later.
02:49Take care, Asha.
02:50I've been thinking,
02:51and I think we should go back to the police again.
02:54Well, we were only there yesterday.
02:56I'd be sick of sighting me.
02:58Anyway, we can't talk about this here.
02:59Why didn't you tell me this before?
03:01Because Lily doesn't miss a trick.
03:03Well, and that one does.
03:04I mean, she might look like she's not got a thought in her head,
03:07but trust me, her ears will be flapping.
03:09Mm, what are you two whispering about?
03:10No, just, you know, secret, sexy time
03:14with a red-blooded male and his lady wife.
03:18Ooh, please.
03:20Ignore him and mix it up as he goes along.
03:22Right, I'll see you later, you fool.
03:24See ya, see ya.
03:26All right.
03:28Coffee with two shots.
03:31Ooh, just what I needed.
03:33Thanks.
03:33I didn't like the idea of your waving scissors around
03:35on four hours' sleep.
03:37Right, I'm doing a butty run.
03:39Usual for you.
03:40Big bag of chips.
03:42Half a dozen Alka-pots.
03:45Tuna salad on seeded sourdough tar.
03:47Could you be any more boring?
03:49Actually, you know what?
03:50Scrap that, David.
03:51Me and me hubby are gonna go and have some quality time
03:53at the bistro.
03:54Well, that's the first I've heard.
03:56Must be made on money.
04:00I just thought it might be nice for us to spend a bit of time together.
04:05Maybe you and me could have a little talk.
04:07Oh, no.
04:10Mind the doghouse again.
04:12Something's going on here, Gary.
04:15You've been so wound up since Theo died.
04:17And look, I know.
04:18I know that we're all shaken.
04:19And whatever we thought of him, it's still a shock.
04:22But I...
04:23I don't know.
04:24There's just...
04:26Something.
04:27Like, you're acting weird.
04:28I've not been any weirder than normal.
04:32We're family, Gary, right?
04:33So whatever one of us does, it affects us all.
04:38There's something that you want to tell me?
04:43Mate, come on.
04:44I love you, right?
04:45Whatever happens, I've always got your back.
04:52You...
04:52You didn't hurt Theo, did you?
04:58I did something stupid, Ben.
05:05You know, his van got smashed in.
05:07Yeah.
05:08Well, that was me.
05:09What?
05:10What were you thinking?
05:11Oh, I don't know.
05:11I just wanted to send him a message, you know.
05:13I wanted to get rid of him and let Todd live his life.
05:15And did anyone see you?
05:16Nope.
05:17Are you sure?
05:17I'm positive.
05:19What about CCTV?
05:20Deleted it.
05:21And there's definitely no back-ups?
05:23It's gone.
05:24No evidence.
05:25Oh.
05:27Look, we've got nothing to worry about, all right?
05:30I'm in the clear.
05:32Promise.
05:36Come on.
05:39They were wearing our glad rags, all dressed up, dancing the night away,
05:43and Theo was lying there, dead across the street.
05:47Gives me the willies just thinking about it.
05:49True enough.
05:51You never know your minute.
05:53Maggie!
05:54Wasn't expecting to see you here.
05:55Oh, Queen of the Rovers.
05:58Where else would I be?
05:59I keep telling her to take it easy, but she won't listen.
06:01Well, she's not going to let her let her out.
06:03It's that slow you down, are you, love?
06:04Am I right?
06:04You're so right.
06:06I bet the Grim Reaper took one look at you and turned around and legged it, didn't he?
06:09There.
06:09That's my, my, you're talking about.
06:10Do you want me to come around there and give you a slap?
06:11Now, she made her tough stuff.
06:13I'm paying her a compliment.
06:22I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet.
06:24You need to give me more time.
06:26Too late.
06:26We had a deadline.
06:28Ben, can I speak to you, please?
06:29That barrel needs changing,
06:31and I hope you don't expect me to drag myself up and down those steps.
06:34Don't be daft.
06:35I'll do it now.
06:37I'll catch up with you later, yeah?
06:41I am not a well woman,
06:43and yet every time I turn around,
06:45you're there, hovering like a vulture.
06:47Don't try to play me.
06:49I know what you're like.
06:50It'd suit you down to the ground if I croaked it.
06:53You can't wait to step over my cold, dead body to get to will.
06:57Seeing that you're under the weather,
06:59I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, all right?
07:00You've got until the end of today.
07:13Hey, George, I heard they let you go, mate.
07:15How are you?
07:16Never cope with a life of crime, me, Gary.
07:19Poor nerves are shot to pieces.
07:20He's aged ten years overnight.
07:23Oh, no, not again.
07:25Are you kidding me?
07:27It's taken every bit of willpower I've got not to leg it.
07:30Afternoon, gents.
07:30Look, Lisa Love, dear Swain, Connor, Swain.
07:36Honest to God, it wasn't me.
07:37I don't know what else I can tell you.
07:39Actually, it's not you I'm after.
07:42Gary.
07:45Strickle up with all you coming in here.
07:47What, you want me?
07:49Would you mind coming to the station?
07:50We'd like you to answer a few questions.
07:58All right, sir, you make that poem, yeah?
08:01Oh, yeah, yeah, I did.
08:03Absolutely brilliant.
08:05All right, I've got to give him top marks.
08:08Oh, you're an optimist, Hope.
08:10I'll give you that.
08:11Go on, where'd you get it?
08:13The internet?
08:14Or did you use AI?
08:15You can't go around accusing me of cheating.
08:17Where's your proof?
08:18I don't need proof, Hope.
08:20I know that you cheated.
08:20In fact, I'd state my reputation on it.
08:22Oh, my dears, your rep's down the toilet.
08:25That's enough.
08:26It's true.
08:27Nobody takes you seriously anymore.
08:30Go on, get going.
08:31I'll speak to you later.
08:32Yeah, whatever.
08:33Fancy my lotus and your girlfriend turned to kids.
08:35What did you just say?
08:36What?
08:37Nothing, sir.
08:41So, remind us,
08:42where were you the night of Thursday the 23rd of April?
08:46Like I said, I was at the yard working late.
08:49How late?
08:52I don't know.
08:52I got back about 10, 15, something like that.
08:55That is a late one.
08:56Is that normal for you?
08:57I was catching up on admin.
08:59I hate doing it, so I put it off till last minute.
09:04Look, I couldn't get any peace at home.
09:05I think the lads were playing some game, making a racket, so...
09:09I'd like to read you something.
09:11A text you sent to Theo Silverton.
09:14It says, I'm coming for you.
09:17What did you mean by that?
09:20I was just mouthing off, wasn't I?
09:21So you'd tell him that you're coming for him, and next thing we found, that he's got his head staved
09:26in.
09:27Bit of a coincidence, innit?
09:28No.
09:28I said it in the heat of the moment.
09:30Sounds more like a threat to me.
09:31I was sticking up for my mate.
09:34Come on, what he was doing to Todd, it was...
09:35It wasn't right.
09:36So you wanted to teach him a lesson?
09:39I was at work.
09:42I take it you've got a CCTV in the yard.
09:45Well, I have, yeah, but it...
09:47It automatically wipes at the end of the week.
09:50Well, we'll take it anyway.
09:51Get our resident techie on it.
09:53Yeah, he's great.
09:54PC Rewani.
09:55He's one of them genius geeky types.
09:57Takes it personally, if he can't crack something, he goes all man versus machine.
10:01So, hopefully, he'll be able to retrieve it for us.
10:05Here.
10:39Hello, you all right?
10:40You all right.
10:42Hey, you weren't seeing Gary, have you?
10:44Me?
10:44Um, no, why?
10:47Well, you were supposed to be here at one o'clock.
10:49Oh, no, maybe stuck in traffic or something.
10:51It's nearly two now, though.
10:54Why don't you come and join me for a bit?
10:56Oh, I'm working.
10:59Oh, right, so you're just going to leave me sat here
11:00when we own like a billion-year-olds?
11:02It's all right.
11:03I'll come and sit with you for a bit.
11:08You know, I don't know what's up with him lately.
11:11He's just not been himself at all.
11:14Um, maybe he's just struggling, you know, with work and stuff.
11:18It's just that whole cost-of-living crisis, isn't it?
11:21It's just...
11:21No, it's definitely more than that.
11:23He's just, like, really on edge, you know?
11:26Like, he's probably troubled about something.
11:29Hi, Maria.
11:31Hiya, you all right?
11:32I know you're supposed to be meeting Gary, but, er...
11:34What's happened?
11:35We've taken him in for questioning
11:37and we'd like a quick chat with you, too, if that's all right.
11:40Erm, yeah, yeah, of course.
11:42Best do it down at the station, get it on tape.
11:44What, now?
11:45Please?
11:46If you don't mind.
11:47Yeah.
12:01Hope, you got a minute?
12:03Er, not really, sir.
12:05Let's break.
12:05Well, you can use that time to write me a poem, can't you?
12:08Ooh, well, you see, I am a creative,
12:10so I can't really do it to water.
12:12Oh, you're waiting for the muse to strike?
12:13Yeah, I can't.
12:16Creativity is the result of hard work,
12:18preparation and consistent effort.
12:20You've got to pursue inspiration, Hope,
12:22not sit around and wait for it to appear.
12:25Fine.
12:26I'll do it right now.
12:27Can I borrow you for a sec?
12:29Turn around.
12:30I mean, at least go into a classroom.
12:32No, you know what?
12:32You want a poem, I will give you a poem right now.
12:35You're being ridiculous, Hope.
12:36Mr Osborne must be thick.
12:39He was dating a woman who was totally sick.
12:42Stop it.
12:43She had a thing with a student?
12:45What rhymes with student?
12:46Shut up!
12:47Ah!
12:50All right.
12:51Okay, everyone, let's just calm down a bit, shall we?
12:54You can't touch me, that's assault.
12:56I didn't touch you.
12:57You've lost your head.
12:59I'm going to tell Miss Carshaw.
13:25All right, you can go.
13:27Well, honestly, it never ceases to amaze me the lengths that people go to, to avoid embarrassment.
13:34Maria told us everything.
13:36She said that you wasn't on your own that night at the yard.
13:40She was with you.
13:42Right.
13:44Popped in on her way home from the wedding.
13:47Bit of private time.
13:53Well, you know, didn't want to say.
13:58Well, luckily for you, that Maria wasn't quite shy about it.
14:02But we'll let you know if we've got any more questions.
14:14One last five minutes in prison, me.
14:17Too much of a soft touch.
14:19There you go, gents.
14:21On the house.
14:22Ah, cheers, Ben.
14:23That's very kind of you.
14:25How are you holding up?
14:27Ah, you know.
14:31Hey, I don't want to keep asking about your feelings and stuff, you know, pecking your head.
14:37But...
14:41Truthfully...
14:42I feel so alone.
14:45What am I? Scotch mist?
14:48Better get used to it, I suppose.
14:50Hey, come on. What about all your mates?
14:52Don't ask me to list them, because I'll be here all day.
14:56It's like I don't know how to feel.
15:01I'm drowning, George.
15:05You just haven't had time to process everything, have you?
15:08You're still in shock.
15:10Just give it time.
15:16Mrs. Croshaw was going into a meeting with a parent,
15:19otherwise I think she might have sat me right then and there.
15:22And sure, it won't come to that.
15:24Really, Dad?
15:25With what happened to you?
15:27Yeah, but the different thing, I actually slapped Aidan Critchley
15:30and you told me you never laid a finger on hope.
15:33I didn't. I didn't.
15:35This could still be the final nail in my coffin, though.
15:37Oh, look, you're an excellent teacher.
15:40They won't want to lose you.
15:42Hmm.
15:43Well, I'm seeing Croshaw tomorrow, so...
15:47I guess I'm going to find out soon enough.
15:50Oh, here you are.
15:52Sipping your pint, not a care in the world.
15:53Tyrone, look, I truly am sorry about today.
15:56I mean, first of all, you accuse her of cheating.
15:59And then you scare the living daylights out of her.
16:02I didn't mean to, honestly.
16:04Do you know what?
16:04I'm sick of bully boys.
16:06Bullying innocent people, thinking they can get away with it.
16:09Tyrone, I am truly sorry.
16:11And I'm more than happy to apologise to Hope in person.
16:14You'll go nowhere nearer.
16:15Caw!
16:16You stay to teach us down where they are nowadays, eh?
16:19I mean, first of all, you've got your pervy bird,
16:21and now you throwing your weight about.
16:23It's a joke.
16:23It's a joke.
16:51It's a joke.
17:04Oh, for goodness sake!
17:06What?
17:07Have you left that sausage roll there, half-eaten?
17:09Honestly, what a waste. Crumbs everywhere.
17:13You having a laugh?
17:14Why would I abandon the sausage roll halfway through?
17:17Yeah, you're right. Actually, it must have been Lily.
17:19Just leave it. I'll get David to Uber it up once he's back from Doggy Dick.
17:25Hey, you know what? Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think you're right about Jodie.
17:30Well, finally. About what?
17:33Are we being irresponsible not going to the police about the blokes from the haulage firm?
17:36I've been saying that all along, but you said it still makes us a target.
17:40Yeah, well, we've got to do something, haven't we? I mean, we can't carry on like this.
17:45Well, why don't we give it one more day?
17:47If she's not back by tea time tomorrow, then we'll go down Cockshop and spill us goods.
18:01What have I told you?
18:02I'm only here to wet me whistle. Sparkling water and a slice of lime, if that isn't too scandalous.
18:09Only look out for your heart, ma'am.
18:10Well, it's too late. It's broken. Smashed into smithereens. The state of this family.
18:18We'll get through it together like we always do.
18:20Well, this time I'm not so sure.
18:25I've been thinking about Melanie's proposal.
18:27And you know, it might not be the worst thing could happen.
18:32Are you kidding me?
18:34You'd let her take Will away, break up this family?
18:37It doesn't have to be forever.
18:39Just a couple of months or so.
18:42Kill two birds with one stone.
18:44Melanie feels like she's doing her bit and we get our boy away from Megan.
18:49I mean, there is that, I suppose.
18:52And while he's away, the dust will settle and the gossips will move on to someone else.
18:56And then we can talk about bringing him home where he belongs.
19:06Hi, hi. Something smells good.
19:08Oh, dear.
19:09I got us a take-out from the B-straw. I just was not in the mood for cooking.
19:13Fair enough. Me neither.
19:16Bad day in the office.
19:18I heard you took Gary in for questioning.
19:22Well, nothing gets past you, does it?
19:24You got me booked or something?
19:26So, how come you like targeting him, then?
19:29Because, I don't know, it just doesn't make any sense to me at all.
19:32What makes you say that?
19:33Because I know him and he loves Maria.
19:37He adores the kids.
19:38I just, I don't think he would do anything to jeopardise that.
19:42Not for a lowlife like Theo.
19:44Yeah, but he's got a right temper on him.
19:46You know that?
19:47Yeah, true.
19:48I don't know, though.
19:49He's like, he's mellowed a lot over the years.
19:51He's not such a hothead anymore.
19:53So, are you going to have to keep him in overnight, then, or...?
19:56He's already out.
19:57He'll be at home right now, sitting at home, lounging around in his underpants.
20:01It's all good.
20:03Do we really have to talk to him again, or...?
20:06Sarah, you know I can't talk about things like this.
20:09I'll get sacked.
20:10I know, it's just...
20:12He's been a really good friend to me,
20:13and there's, like, a lot of water under the bridge there, so...
20:17Anyway, right, be honest with me.
20:19You don't think he did it, though, do you?
20:20Like, you, personally.
20:23No, I don't.
20:24I'm...
20:24I'm pretty sure he's going to be off the hook.
20:28Stop worrying.
20:34I can't believe he did it.
20:35Well, Lisa said that they wanted to look at your CCTV,
20:38so I just told her that I'd made you wipe it.
20:40But, I mean, as if we'd have a bunk up in this dump
20:42when we got a bed across the floor.
20:43What can I say?
20:44You totally bought it.
20:46Look, I'm dead grateful, but I hope you haven't dropped yourself, innit?
20:49What else could I do?
20:50Well, you're lying to the police.
20:52It's perverting the course of justice.
20:54You'll end up in the slammer.
20:55I'd never forgive myself.
20:56Well, if you were telling me the truth about what happened that night,
20:59then there won't be a problem, will there?
21:01Look, like I said,
21:02I was here,
21:04and I left at 1.10.
21:06OK?
21:10Aw.
21:11Aw, do you know,
21:13I'm not one to blow my own trumpet,
21:15but we do make a very handsome purple, don't we?
21:18Yeah, we scrub up well, don't we?
21:19Do.
21:20Aw, look at that bomb.
21:22Stay heavy, you've got three sheets to the wind.
21:24You can talk.
21:25You can barely walk in a straight line.
21:27Well, that bomb, she'll be able to do one more drink.
21:29Oh, I thought you'd never ask them again.
21:32Just going to have a little touch-up.
21:35Later.
21:35As soon as we get on the mic.
21:37God, I'm so silly.
21:47The acts continue to impress our judges
21:50as the stakes are even higher
21:51with life-changing dreams just touching distance away.
