00:22How long have you been awake?
00:25Too long.
00:27Not long enough.
00:28Oh, babe, the amount I put away last night, you can't be talking in riddles.
00:32Plain English, please.
00:34You might regret saying that.
00:39Go on.
00:48There's something I need to tell you.
00:53Oh, babe, there's no easy way to say this, and I...
00:56I can't dress it up.
00:58Oh, babe.
01:02Megan's been grooming Will.
01:06They've been sleeping together.
01:12Wonder if she's told him yet.
01:15Well, whoever said ignorance was bliss was spot on in this case.
01:18He needs to know.
01:19Ben's gonna be broken-hearted.
01:21Mightn't be the only thing that gets broken if he catches up with Megan.
01:23Well, I'll tell you what, good job she stayed at Daniel's last night, because I don't think I could restrain
01:27myself.
01:30Oh, you're cutting it a bit fine for the bus, aren't you?
01:33Yeah, I thought I'd give him a lift in.
01:35I told you.
01:36I'll be all right.
01:37Yeah, I'm sure, but you won't have, er, heated seats and fat tunes on the bus.
01:42Fat tunes?
01:43Yeah, I think you might be a few years out of date with that one.
01:50Listen, I'd sack off school if I were you.
01:52You've had a rough few days, mate.
01:55I'm not gonna fall behind because of her.
01:57Yeah, ordinarily I'd agree, but things are gonna start moving today, and I don't think you should be around when
02:03the police come to question her.
02:05You think it'll happen that quickly?
02:06Well, hopefully.
02:07Maybe you should stay at home, and we can look at that new telescope.
02:12Okay.
02:14Yeah, good.
02:15Right, we'll see you later, yeah?
02:17See ya.
02:19Okay.
02:24Yeah, look, you've nothing to be scared of, all right?
02:28She's gonna get what's coming to her.
02:31She can't hurt you now.
02:37No.
02:41No, no, no, it's a one-sided crush.
02:44That's what she wanted us to believe.
02:47What they wanted us to believe.
02:49What proof do you have?
02:51Sam rumbled them a while ago.
02:53Oh, Sam, he's...
02:55He's a kid himself.
02:56A kid who can put two and two together.
02:58And the rest.
03:00When he challenged her, she threatened him.
03:02She's been bullying him ever since.
03:04That's why he's gone off the rails.
03:08You're sure?
03:10Love, nobody wants this to be wrong more than I do.
03:14But it's true.
03:17Well, it's just a wee boy.
03:21Hey, boy.
03:24We invited her into his life.
03:26Well, I did.
03:29I'm the one that went chasing after her when we moved here.
03:31I'm the one that convinced her to stay on as Will's athletics coach.
03:35Oh, athletics coach.
03:39She'll be laughing herself, stupid.
03:44Was this going on in Hull?
03:46I don't know.
03:48I think so.
03:49We'll have to find out.
03:50Find out what?
03:54Don't beat yourself up.
03:55How can I not?
03:56I shouldn't have kicked off with Theo's client there.
03:59I thought you said he was fine with him.
04:00He was.
04:01That's what made it even worse.
04:03You need to focus on something else.
04:06I've got my marathon.
04:07I thought you cancelled that after the crash.
04:09I thought it was a half marathon.
04:11Theo signed me up for the full one.
04:12With all heart.
04:14Well, in for a penny.
04:16And because I was raising money in Paul's name,
04:18he figured that Billy would want me to see it through.
04:21Mm, I suppose.
04:23I was thinking more of a romantic distraction.
04:27I will admit, all right, that I am a little bit lonely
04:30now that someone's spending a few more nights at her flat,
04:32but I'm not ready for a new relationship.
04:34I've got to make Raymond.
04:35He's ideal for you.
04:37I appreciate the thought, but...
04:39Hear me out.
04:40I'm not talking long-term relationship material
04:43because he still works on the cruise ship for one thing,
04:45but he's wonderful company,
04:47and I'll cheer you up no end.
04:49I don't know.
04:50And you won't know until you try.
04:53So let me set something up.
04:54I'll have a nice evening.
04:56And you can keep your romantic hand in, as it were.
05:00What have you got to lose?
05:05That looks good.
05:06Treat yourself if you've earned it.
05:08I was just comfort eating after I made a shower myself yesterday.
05:12Oh, look, don't be after I told you it's not biggie.
05:15It is to me.
05:16And you're right.
05:17I need to take a leaf out of your book and move on.
05:20I was just telling him that myself.
05:22Yeah, good.
05:22Please do it.
05:25Okay.
05:25Good luck to you.
05:27See you.
05:40You all right, Dad?
05:42Eva said I might find you here.
05:44Oh, yeah, you know.
05:45I'll get my strawberry lakies, then.
05:47Come on.
05:50Text me back to when I was a kid.
05:53You can have one all.
05:56All right, go on.
06:01Do you mind?
06:02Yeah, go for it.
06:03As long as you don't expect me to push you.
06:10Brings me back.
06:13Before the time I was eating laces with boots attached,
06:16face down under a huge scrum.
06:20Nice taste bar.
06:25So, you're not in trouble.
06:27That usually means the opposite.
06:30Yeah, well, not in this case.
06:35We love you.
06:39We know you're not to blame for anything that might have happened.
06:41We know that.
06:43Where's this going?
06:45I need to ask you something.
06:46And, um...
06:48It's really important that you tell me the truth, okay?
06:51You can tell me anything.
06:53Look, Dad, I don't know what you're talking about,
06:54but I've got to go.
06:55Wait, son.
07:02I need to ask you about Megan.
07:06And if she's ever been...
07:09Inappropriate with you.
07:12Inappropriate?
07:14Has she ever touched you
07:17in a way that crossed a line
07:20didn't seem right?
07:21No.
07:22You know, it doesn't seem right.
07:23You'd even ask me something like that.
07:24Yeah, well, believe me,
07:25this is not the conversation I wanted to have,
07:27but we've heard things.
07:28You know, Megan's been nothing but supportive for me.
07:30She's always looking out for me.
07:33And if anyone crossed the line,
07:35it was...
07:36It was me.
07:38What do you mean?
07:40I...
07:40I told her that I liked her.
07:42Yeah, he was stupid, but...
07:45I mistook her kindness for...
07:48something else.
07:50She told me straight.
07:52She didn't feel the same way, and...
07:54never could.
07:57Okay.
08:00Okay, I believe you.
08:03Okay.
08:04Good.
08:05Well, look, I...
08:06I need to go.
08:21I can't believe you set up a meeting with Rich behind my back.
08:25You told him to do his worst.
08:27What if he did?
08:28What if he went after you?
08:29I didn't let him.
08:30I did what I did with a clear conscience.
08:32They were bullying tenants out of their homes.
08:35Yeah, that may be, but you still breached your contract.
08:38We need to smooth this over before things get out of hand.
08:42He's late.
08:43No wonder he's shedding clients.
08:45Still noon by my watch.
08:46Oh, well, it needs winding up.
08:47You're pretty good at that, I hear.
08:49I thought these were meant to be peace talks.
08:51What have you got to offer?
08:52Listen, I can't help if your old clients want to take their business to a firm who haven't hiked their
08:56fees.
08:57But we won't actively pursue them.
08:59And in return?
09:00You lay off failure.
09:01You agree not to pursue legal action against her.
09:04So I give away all of my leverage in the return of a vague promise?
09:07I'll keep it.
09:09Not enough.
09:10Any of my former clients come to you, you're going to tell them you're too busy.
09:14What do you care who they choose to go to?
09:17It's bad enough you betrayed us once, but using your relationship with my clients to profit your new outfit?
09:22No.
09:23Several bridges too far.
09:25So what's it going to be?
09:29Okay, anything to end this.
09:32Very wise decision.
09:35I'll see myself out.
09:41Oh, been looking for you.
09:45I brushed my teeth.
09:47Sorry, just, um...
09:48Yeah, I can tell.
09:50You know, you look like you're practising for your passport photo.
09:53You all right?
09:55You don't want to know.
09:56I just saw your dad before with a face like thunder.
09:59And then I heard Ray's voices from the back room.
10:02Something about Will and Megan.
10:03So you're eavesdropping?
10:06Right.
10:07Mind me own business, you mean?
10:08This is complicated.
10:09Look, I just hate seeing you like this and I want to help, okay?
10:13If it is about Will and Megan...
10:16I can't say I'm surprised.
10:18What does that mean?
10:20Well, it was before Christmas and I saw them together.
10:23Look weird.
10:24Weird how?
10:25I don't know.
10:26They just looked close, but not like how a teacher would be with a kid.
10:30Look, I didn't...
10:31She started going up with Daniel, so I didn't say anything.
10:34I thought I got the wrong idea.
10:35Had I not?
10:37Like I say, it's family business.
10:39Nothing for you to worry about.
10:46Touched you inappropriately, is that what he said?
10:49Yeah.
10:50I think they're on touch.
11:05I thought we weren't doing that at work.
11:19Well, what are they going to do?
11:21Arrest me.
11:40We think it's been going on for quite a while, isn't it?
11:42Right.
11:43I'm sorry to hear about that, Ben.
11:46How did you come to find out about it?
11:49You know, I must have been walking around with my eyes closed.
11:51I got drunk with her at the Christmas quiz, thought she was my mate.
11:54Yeah, well, I had a living in the flat with me.
11:56I never suspected a thing.
11:58Well, I'll say that.
11:59There was that time I heard her on the phone, I thought she had another bloke on the go.
12:03I had completely forgotten about that.
12:05Yeah, but never in a million years do we think it was Will.
12:07Which means she was on the phone to Will when she was at your flat.
12:10I mean, the brass neck, couldn't I?
12:11Well, that's exactly why she managed to fool everyone, isn't it?
12:14Right, so, uh, Ben's giving me the bare bones.
12:17And obviously I'm going to need to do some formal interviews and I need to speak to Sam if that's
12:21okay.
12:22Oh, yeah, I suppose it'll have to be, won't it?
12:24Anything to put that twisted cow away.
12:26Right, well, you can rest assured I'll make this my absolute priority.
12:29Thank you so much.
12:30The sooner we get this sorted, the sooner we can just concentrate on Will.
12:34He's all that matters.
12:35So, come on, did Ollie say how about what they're kicking off about?
12:40Nah.
12:41Let's just say if his lip's got any tighter beaten through a straw.
12:44Well, something's going on.
12:46Faces on him.
12:47You'd have thought they were all in the world backside slapping competition in that parlour room.
12:52Is that a thing?
12:53Backside? No.
12:54No, I shouldn't have thought so.
12:56Although, you never know these days.
12:59You're all set for tomorrow night.
13:01You what?
13:02My pal, Raymond.
13:03Oh, he's a scream.
13:03Brenda, I sort of think about it.
13:05Well, you must have been thinking hard, because it's happening.
13:07Half five and the base track.
13:08Half five?
13:09Yeah, he wants to leave time for his box there, in case you're a washout.
13:12Which won't be, I told him.
13:14Ah!
13:16You're all at a hot bartender.
13:18I mean, look, what time do you get off?
13:20If it's complimentary scratchings you're after, no dice.
13:25Complimentary scratchings.
13:26I'm just being nice.
13:28You know, I'm at a loose end and wouldn't mind some company if you were free.
13:32Hey, don't mind me.
13:33If you two want to go for a drink, go for it.
13:35We're history.
13:36Yeah, that's right.
13:37If we were a movie, we'd be black and white.
13:40In which case, tell Raymond, our five at the bistro tomorrow sounds very nice.
13:45Raymond?
13:47Yeah.
13:47Took your advice, getting back in the dating game.
13:50Glenda has set me up with her, mate.
13:52All right.
13:53Glad to hear it.
13:54Good luck to you.
13:56I'll have a pint, please, Laurie.
14:05Off somewhere?
14:06Nope, just getting my charger.
14:08What, the charger that you've just put into your school bag and yet the school day is over?
14:13You know what, whatever.
14:13I don't have time for this.
14:14Yes, you have.
14:16And if it's her you're dashing off to sea, you're wasting your time.
14:20I don't know what you're talking about.
14:21Yes, you do.
14:23It's not your fault.
14:25That woman took advantage of you.
14:27No one blames you.
14:29No, Megan hasn't done anything wrong.
14:30No, that's for the police to decide now.
14:33The police?
14:34Yes.
14:36So if you're planning on meeting her, that's not going to happen.
14:39Megan's innocent.
14:40And if she gets into trouble because of this, I will never forgive her.
14:43We'll, we'll come back.
14:46Megan?
14:47Hey.
14:48Megan?
14:49Hiya.
14:49What's the rush?
14:50You're too busy to walk to the car by with me.
14:52Um, I just, I've got a pile of work to get through tonight, sir.
14:55Well, you'll definitely need a drink, won't you, after all that?
14:57So why don't you come round to my place?
14:59I'll get us a bottle of wine and...
15:04Can I help you two with something?
15:06I'm afraid so.
15:07Megan Walsh, I'm arresting you on suspicion of meeting a child following sexual grooming.
15:12I'm sorry?
15:13You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned,
15:17something which you later rely on in court.
15:18Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
15:21No, the...
15:21This is madness.
15:23Who am I supposed to have even been...
15:24I'd rather not get into that here.
15:26It's Will Driscoll, isn't it?
15:28Seriously, come on.
15:30The kid's had a crush on her.
15:31She's been trying to let him down gently for months.
15:33Right, well, Miss Walsh can discuss that down the station, can't she?
15:36How are you all so gullible?
15:37I don't get this.
15:38Have you not learned anything from what you put me through?
15:40Daniel, it's all right.
15:41It's okay.
15:42The sooner I answer their questions, the sooner we can put this behind us, okay?
15:48Right, would you like to come with me, please?
15:56So, come on, then.
15:57There's nobody on the scene.
16:01Now it's serious.
16:02Not for a while.
16:03Oh, I find that hard to believe.
16:05I thought there'd be a queue stretching from here to Balaclava Terrace.
16:08Maybe once.
16:09But time leaves its mark.
16:11Oh, get over.
16:12If you're the wrong side of 40, you must have a portrait in your luck getting older.
16:15I'm going to make a move.
16:17Oh, don't forget Raymond tomorrow night.
16:20I won't.
16:21Mm-hmm.
16:23Oi, Flossie.
16:24Come here.
16:25What?
16:26Who is this Raymond, anyway?
16:28I was in Enth's manager from one of the cruise ships I used to perform on.
16:31I've arranged a blind date.
16:33Oh, have you?
16:34Mm-hmm.
16:35How come you've never mentioned him to me before?
16:37Huh?
16:37I've been single a lot longer than time.
16:39Well, Raymond's a talker.
16:41And I thought if you and him were in the same place for any other time, well, everyone
16:46else might die of oxygen deprivation.
16:49Charming.
16:50Have you heard what I've got to put up with here?
16:52Are you having another?
16:54No.
16:55Yeah.
16:55Ooh.
16:57Some went in pretty quick there.
16:59Mm.
16:59As soon as Todd left.
17:01I thought you'll need eyes for you today.
17:03For someone in the business.
17:04You don't seem to recognise a show when you see one, huh?
17:08That was me just being a prop in his performance to make Todd jealous.
17:11Mm-mm.
17:12Do you think so?
17:13Well, if he's that childish.
17:15Todd's better shut of him.
17:17Uh, yeah, look.
17:23Probably should have brought a tray.
17:25Leave him up.
17:25Bring him up in a bit.
17:30What's wrong?
17:32Well, you do know I can't help you, but you don't let me in.
17:34I wish someone would let me out, to be honest.
17:38Well, you know what they say, a problem shared is...
17:40There's no something I can share.
17:43What, not even with me?
17:48Right.
17:52Right, it's warm.
17:55The one day we have a long business lunch, and I'm not eating because of Ramadan.
18:00I ought to get that at the police station.
18:02See Megan.
18:03Get to the bottom of all this.
18:05It's unbelievable.
18:07Daniel must be worried to death.
18:09Yeah, send it that away from his text message.
18:11It was all over the place.
18:12Normally, there's not a possessive apostrophe out of place.
18:15I'll get to the bottom of it.
18:17Do you think there's anything to it?
18:19I doubt it.
18:20It'll be a tangle of teenage bravado, jealousy and misunderstanding.
18:24You know, Daniel went through something similar.
18:26Seems like an occupational hazard with teachers.
18:28It does happen, though.
18:29Classroom grooming.
18:30Yeah, of course it does, but come on.
18:32Not in this case.
18:33We know Megan.
18:36Something wrong?
18:38Sarah wants me to look at the community chat.
18:42You've got to be kidding me.
18:45Are those our internal emails?
18:47A screenshot from social media.
18:49There's the one about Debbie being flaky.
18:51A potential liability in the witness box.
18:54A barrister's nightmare.
18:55But those were between us.
18:57Not anymore, they're not.
18:59We've been hacked.
19:04So she's been arrested?
19:05They were going to do it at the end of the school day.
19:07So you can relax.
19:08She'll be staring at a cell wall as we speak.
19:11We know she'll have to get used to that.
19:13Do you think so?
19:14I'm sure of it.
19:15There's no way she's not going to get sent down for what she's done.
19:18But you are going to have to be brave.
19:20Yeah, the police said they're going to need to interview you
19:22just to get the facts straight.
19:24Yeah, and it may be that you have to give evidence in court proceedings.
19:28Really?
19:30Are you okay with that?
19:31I mean, look, you don't have to do anything.
19:33You don't want it.
19:34That's not what they just said.
19:39But I'll have to do it, won't I?
19:41I can't risk her getting away with this and getting out again.
19:46I can't.
19:48She'll remain in custody overnight
19:50and I'll formally interview her tomorrow.
19:51And what was wrong with doing that today?
19:54There's no rush.
19:55I have to proceed carefully in cases like this.
19:57And it won't do her any harm in thinking about what she's done
20:00and what she's facing.
20:02I was just about to come looking for you.
20:03I thought you were staying at Liam's.
20:05Change of mind, all right?
20:06All right, it's okay.
20:09Anyway, I'll let you know if there's any further developments.
20:12Kick that cow goodnight from me.
20:14Nah.
20:15So you had Megan locked up then?
20:16Yes.
20:17And the key would be at the bottom of the canal if I had my way.
20:20Maggie, not helping.
20:21Oh, and you are?
20:23It's your fault Megan interfered with him in the first place.
20:25Hold on, Megan's turned nothing wrong.
20:27I had a crush on her.
20:28She turned me down.
20:29Listen, I accept my share of the fault,
20:31but I wasn't the only one persuading her to carry on coaching, Will.
20:34You were there and all.
20:35Yeah, but you were the driving force.
20:37Really?
20:37Says the woman who had the bright idea to pay Megan to stick around.
20:41Oh, and raised the money to do so.
20:43Trying to buy people's affections, as per.
20:45How dare you?
20:47It's true.
20:47Bought your way into this house.
20:49You think the money can fix everything and it can't.
20:51Come on, you two.
20:52What's done is done.
20:53There's no point raking it over.
20:54You seem very keen to shut this down.
20:56Did you have an inkling what was going on?
20:57What?
20:58Well, I know what boys are like.
20:59Maybe you wanted to impress his big brother.
21:01He had said anything.
21:01You'd have been the first to know.
21:03I can't believe you'd say that.
21:04Because if Ollie wouldn't say anything, what's wrong with you?
21:06What's wrong with me?
21:07I saw him being abused by a sexual predator.
21:09But you two, blown out the red carpet for nothing's wrong with me.
21:12Why am I to blame?
21:13Anyone, what you say?
21:13Why am I to blame?
21:15Yeah, I'll be a man, you'll be a man.
21:16You're the one that's never to be here.
21:24And if you've been affected by issues.
