00:08You told my mum, I'm going to phone her today.
00:11Good luck with that.
00:13Oh, can we just stop with the sly digs, please?
00:16Look, we all said stuff yesterday that we regret, but we just need to focus on Will.
00:21If we had before, this would never have happened.
00:25Sorry?
00:26You were so focused on this place, you took your eye off the ball.
00:29That's not fair, Nan.
00:31We are entitled to our private feelings, but can we please just put on a united front for Will?
00:36What we need is action.
00:38We should be calling around his friends in Hull, see if they know anything.
00:42Let's leave the police work to the professionals, eh?
00:44I agree.
00:45Like Eva said, Will has got to be the priority.
00:50Getting them back to the wee boy he was.
00:51Too right.
00:53We used to have a laugh.
00:55This last year, it's like we've been walking on eggshells with him.
00:57He's like a different kid.
00:58Don't let me stop you from talking about me.
01:01You won't need any of that today.
01:03School agreed you should stay home today, son.
01:05I don't agree.
01:06If I stayed home, it makes it seem like some of a badder.
01:09But it didn't.
01:10The police think you should stay home too.
01:12We've got to go into the station later.
01:14They want to talk to you.
01:15Look, it's nothing to worry about.
01:16You're the victim.
01:23I couldn't find any mention of it anywhere.
01:26You're definitely arrested, Miss Walsh.
01:28Yeah, she's down the station.
01:29There's nothing to worry about, Sam.
01:31She won't be allowed anywhere near you.
01:33See?
01:34I told you.
01:35You did the right thing coming forward, mate.
01:38Can't have been easy with Miss Walsh being a teacher at your school.
01:43I just want it to be over.
01:45Yeah, well, I'm into that, seeing as she's banged up for Cape to Bar.
01:48So all I need to know is what happened, mate.
01:51How you came to have suspicions of Miss Walsh and Will Driscoll.
01:56And if you had any, er, interactions with her.
01:59Is that OK, Sam?
02:03Sam?
02:09Thanks for seeing me.
02:11I'm hoping that I'm going to be able to spare you an awful lot of unnecessary upset.
02:15Well, I think that ship has sailed.
02:18I know that you must have heard a lot of very different things over the last 24 hours.
02:22So let me just tell you what I know to be the truth, OK?
02:25Megan didn't groom your son.
02:28Is that what she told you?
02:29A few years ago, I was accused of something very similar, right?
02:34A pupil developed a crush.
02:36It got out of control.
02:38But I'd done absolutely nothing wrong, and neither has Megan.
02:41Look, I'm sorry that happened to you, but it's completely irrelevant.
02:44I disagree.
02:45I was a dedicated mentor to the girl.
02:48In fact, in my case, I went the extra mile.
02:52Well, just like Megan's done for Will.
02:54Well, she's done that, all right.
02:55It's Will that has unreciprocated feelings for Megan, and he has done for a while.
03:00I know this because she's talked to me about it.
03:03And that's why he attacked me.
03:04Oh, don't you go starting all that again, Sunshine.
03:06I know it was Will that did it because of his strength of feeling for Megan.
03:10I think you should leave.
03:13Look, whatever Will is going to say to the police, or whatever he already has said to the police,
03:17tell him to think long and hard about the consequences, if he ever cared about Megan.
03:22I've asked you to leave nicely.
03:26You really need to open your eyes to what's going on here.
03:29I need to open my eyes?
03:30Yes.
03:31It's a hard fall you're heading for, mate.
03:34I pity you.
03:36I really do.
03:44Right, so if we can go back to the camera that you installed in Miss Walsh's flat.
03:48My flat? She was just a lodger.
03:50I'm aware of that.
03:52Why did you put it there, Sam?
03:54I wasn't trying to see her getting undressed or anything, like she said.
03:59I'm not like that.
04:00I know.
04:01She was just trying to frighten me.
04:04Like she always did.
04:08Let's go back to the camera.
04:10What were you hoping to achieve?
04:12I wanted concrete evidence.
04:15So it wasn't just my word against hers.
04:18Did you get it?
04:19No.
04:21She must have realised, so she staged this thing with Will.
04:25Saying it was all one-sided.
04:27Right, but we're going to need that footage.
04:29That's okay, Sam.
04:30But what it shows isn't true.
04:34She's just manipulated everything.
04:38It's like she's always one step ahead.
04:41It's okay, Sam.
04:42It's not, though.
04:45Nothing I've said is actual proof.
04:49I haven't got any hard evidence.
04:52Covering evidence is our job.
04:53And if it's there, we'll find it.
04:55But what if you don't?
04:56You just have to trust them.
04:57People get away with things all the time.
05:00And she'll get away with this because she's clever.
05:04And when she does, she'll come after me.
05:09I know she will.
05:15So we hear you normally belching and dabbing corners of your mouth before I've even started.
05:20No, I can't face it.
05:22I've given you a free pass for a bacon bar and you can't face it.
05:27Well, if you must know, I bumped into Ben earlier and he gave me the cold shoulder.
05:31I think it's because I've fallen out with Steve over Amy and Ollie.
05:34So, you don't even like Ben.
05:36He's all right.
05:37I just don't like the fact that he's my best mate.
05:39Well, that's well and truly gone south now.
05:42Well, I wouldn't be so sure.
05:44Ex-Rubby International.
05:45Owns a local pub.
05:47Good looking with a mighty crack.
05:48I can't compete with that long term.
05:50You sound like a jilted lover.
05:53Ben's not Steve's mistress.
05:55He's allowed more than one friend.
05:57Well, Batman didn't have a team of Robins, did he?
05:59And there was only ever one Watson, only one Tonto.
06:02Who's he?
06:03I've been that pig dying, Ben.
06:07Oh, it looks so awful in black and white.
06:09Hey, people sometimes send iffy messages to people they trust precisely because it's not meant for public consumption.
06:15Oh, the public are consuming it, all right.
06:17Have you read the responses?
06:18Why would I?
06:19I could kick myself.
06:21I knew when I clicked on that dodgy email something wasn't right, but I was rushed off my feet.
06:25Have you heard anything from the hackers?
06:28What, Rich, you mean?
06:29You really think it was him?
06:31Of course it was him.
06:32And if he's downloaded everything, he could keep releasing stuff for weeks.
06:35Just been round your office.
06:37Thought it might have found you hiding in here.
06:40Listen, Ronnie.
06:41No, you said more than enough.
06:42Don't you think things are hard enough with Debbie as it is without you calling her flaky and unreliable in
06:46front of the whole world?
06:47I'm sorry, mate.
06:48It was just two colleagues exchanging frank opinions on what we thought was a secure communication channel.
06:53Frank is one word, disgusting is another.
06:55We're genuinely sorry.
06:57You will be if it happens again.
07:03If we don't shut this down quick, this could kill us stonding.
07:35It's okay, son.
07:37Well, I know how difficult this can be.
07:40But this chat's not about getting anyone into trouble.
07:43Just need you to help me build a picture of the relationship.
07:47Why?
07:48Because of the allegations that have been made.
07:51Yeah, by people who don't know anything, though.
07:52But me and Megan haven't done anything wrong.
07:55Just ask her.
07:55She'll say the same thing.
07:56So, why am I here?
07:58Well, I suppose it all hinges on the word wrong.
08:01I need you to be more specific.
08:04In terms of what you mean by it.
08:07What I meant to say was what I meant to say.
08:11Look, I'm sorry.
08:13I can't do this.
08:14It's okay, son.
08:17We can take as long as you need.
08:18I can't stress enough that you are not to blame whatsoever, right?
08:24You're a young man.
08:26It's only natural to feel flattered by an attractive older woman.
08:30But if she manipulated you...
08:32She didn't.
08:35Okay.
08:36Why don't you take a sip of water, mate?
08:45And we've suffered a significant data breach,
08:49including...
08:51...communications of an unfortunate nature.
08:54Ugh, no.
08:56Not unfortunate.
08:57Sounds like we've stubbed a toe.
08:59Come on.
09:00We've got to own this.
09:02Hey.
09:04Ugh, you look like how I feel.
09:06Bad day?
09:07Ugh.
09:07Don't even go there.
09:09You?
09:10Ditto.
09:11Family trouble.
09:12Yeah.
09:13I might have heard something...
09:15...about Will.
09:16Really?
09:18We've been trying to keep that under wraps.
09:20Daniel mentioned it to Adam.
09:22He's worried sick about Megan.
09:25You're kidding me?
09:28Daniel seems to think maybe people have got the wrong end of the stick.
09:31She's a paedophile.
09:32There's no wrong end to that stick.
09:35Daniel thinks she's innocent.
09:36Yeah, well, then Daniel's a bigger sucker than I thought.
09:38That's saying something.
09:39And for your information, not only did Megan groom Will,
09:42she's been terrorising Sam for weeks.
09:44Really?
09:45Yeah, really.
09:46So if you've got any sense,
09:47you and Adam will abide that woman like the flaming plague that she is.
09:54So Miss Walsh was your PE teacher
09:57who coached athletics on the side.
10:00And you already know, so why are you asking?
10:03Fair point.
10:05And obviously you've been around sensitive environments together,
10:09you know, changing rooms, etc.
10:12And I know how intense a relationship between a coach and an athlete can be at times.
10:19Did she ever do anything that was beyond normal interaction?
10:24You're going to have to be more specific.
10:26Okay.
10:27Did she do anything physical?
10:31Contact or touching that you might regard as out of the ordinary?
10:38Sexual or intimate in nature?
10:41No, no.
10:42There was nothing like that.
10:43Look, look, I just want to go home.
10:50Is there anything you want to tell us about your relationship?
11:12I haven't had a relationship with Will Driscoll.
11:15I haven't had a relationship with Will Driscoll.
11:17I meant generally.
11:19Oh, right.
11:21Sorry.
11:22I understand you need to take these allegations seriously.
11:30He is a teenage boy
11:33who has a crush on me.
11:37Probably not the first, probably not the last.
11:39So this has happened before?
11:41My client never said that.
11:44Believe me, I haven't done anything wrong.
11:47This is every teacher's worst nightmare.
11:49I'm in complete shock, to be honest.
11:52So are Will's family.
11:55Maybe I overstepped by getting too close to him.
12:00But that doesn't mean that I'm grooming their son.
12:06I became a teacher to give something back, not to...
12:11I can't even say it.
12:13It makes me feel sick.
12:15What the Driscolls think otherwise.
12:17On the basis of what, exactly?
12:18What actual evidence do they have on anything?
12:21I'll ask the questions.
12:22My client's from Hull.
12:24She knows a fishing expedition when she sees one.
12:27You might as well be wearing oil skins.
12:28Oh, I'm glad.
12:29Do you see the funny side of child abuse?
12:31I don't think it's funny that hearsay and vague innuendo
12:34is being used to destroy the reputation
12:36of a hard-working, dedicated teacher.
12:38You'll ask whether my client knows where the appropriate boundaries are
12:41without providing a shred of evidence to suggest she's crossed them.
12:46Well, we have got some interesting footage of Will and you in your flat.
12:53I was the victim there.
12:56But I kept quiet for Sam's sake.
12:59Sam's sake?
12:59Yes.
13:01There is nothing incriminating in that footage whatsoever.
13:04I saw you alone, in a room, with a miner who made a pass.
13:09Something must have encouraged him to do so.
13:13It's not looking good, is it, Megan?
13:15I think the CPS will agree.
13:21The food's a nasin' on the cruises.
13:23It's a constant battle to stay in me trousers.
13:25In more ways than one.
13:27Show-biz being what it is.
13:29So have you, um, known Glenda Long?
13:31Long?
13:32I swear the Mary Rose was the first ship we sailed together.
13:36We've circumnavigated the globe, me and her.
13:38I cried for a week when she packed it in.
13:40Right.
13:41We've some memories, mind.
13:42I bet you have.
13:43One night we had Sham Wham playing in the main theatre, but fake Andrew Ridgely chucked up in a hot
13:48tub, so Glenda stood in.
13:50Fake George Michael was not happy.
13:52She sang him off the stage.
13:53I felt for the other guy, mind.
13:55Trying to make a career out of being Andrew Ridgely.
13:57I mean, it was hard enough for the real thing.
14:01I think it's like the equivalent of getting me an iron.
14:04Hey, oh, oh, God.
14:05You thought I'd drop your card off in Mertham.
14:08No, you didn't have to do that.
14:09But listen, you're only 41, shouldn't you?
14:11Well, I don't know about that.
14:12It's her birthday time round this year.
14:13Oh, careful.
14:15You'll be wearing this.
14:16Yeah, he played me well.
14:18Happy birthday to you.
14:21Happy birthday to you.
14:25Happy birthday, dear Carrie.
14:29Happy birthday to you.
14:48I can't believe they've let her out.
14:52Kit reckons they didn't have enough to keep her in custody.
14:54Well, I don't understand that after what Sam said.
14:57Yeah, but it's his word against theirs.
14:59Kit's going to follow up with that kid in Hull, the one that Sam mentioned,
15:02but unless he comes up trumps, she's going to get away with this.
15:05Over my dead body, or preferably hers.
15:09I've just got off the phone to Chloe, the girl that Will was seeing in Hull.
15:12So you completely ignored me again?
15:14Thankfully.
15:15According to her, they broke up before we moved over here.
15:19No, that's not true.
15:21So they were together in the hotel on his birth.
15:25If it wasn't Chloe hiding in the bathroom, it was Megan.
15:28The day that he turned 16.
15:31She couldn't wait.
15:33Oh, that's sickening.
15:34It is, but most hotels have CCTV,
15:37so if it's proof the police need, then...
15:39What are we doing here? Come on.
15:47What do you want?
15:48Take away.
15:51Take yourself away.
15:52I'm not in the mood.
15:53Don't alienate me, Elliot.
15:55Your one-horse output's just gone lame.
15:57We'll survive.
15:58And when we prove it was you behind the hack...
16:00Oh, it's quite a conspiracy theory.
16:02But if you really believe it, you shouldn't provoke me.
16:04There's a lot more unfortunate correspondence to come out, I'd imagine.
16:08We took one client who would have left you anyway.
16:12This could destroy us.
16:13It's totally out of proportion.
16:15Well, you made your bet.
16:17Grown-up legal firms aren't loose-lipped about clients, even internally.
16:21Get out.
16:21I haven't ordered my takeaway yet.
16:23Everything all right out here?
16:25Yeah.
16:26The gentleman was just leaving.
16:28Okay.
16:30Oh, one last piece of advice.
16:32If I was Adam, I'd steer clear of defending that paedophile teacher.
16:35Your reputation's bad enough as it is.
16:37There's only one way you could know that.
16:40Driving Oz out of business won't bring back your clients.
16:49Please tell me that didn't mean what I think it did.
16:52Daniel asked Adam.
16:54It was difficult for him to say no.
16:56She groomed Eva's stepson.
16:57She terrorised Sam.
16:58Does that not mean anything to you?
16:59Daniel thinks she's innocent.
17:00Yeah, well, then Daniel's a fool.
17:02And if you're firm represent her, you deserve to go under.
17:09Yeah, well, we do keep footage for 90 days and then it's deleted.
17:13What was it you wanted to know?
17:14Erm, we can't say, but we won't be asking if it wasn't really important.
17:18Well, it's a good thing she's gotten on his face.
17:20Well, no, you haven't.
17:21No, I'll quit while you're at.
17:23So is there a particular time and date that you're after?
17:27Yeah, erm, it was our own lunchtime.
17:29December the 19th was birthday.
17:30Let's see.
17:36What's the matter?
17:37Would you believe December the 19th was 90 days ago?
17:40Oh, so just in time then?
17:42I'm afraid not.
17:42Well, it automatically got wiped at one minute past midnight.
17:55What are you doing?
17:57Putting the rubbish out.
17:59Oh, Leanne, please.
18:01I don't need this after the day I've just had.
18:03I've already been suspended from work.
18:04Yeah?
18:04Well, if it was up to me, I'd suspend you from that lamppost.
18:07I haven't been charged with anything because I haven't done anything wrong.
18:10Oh, save your command performance for the police.
18:13I know what you did.
18:16Oh, missed.
18:18It's all kicking off right now, love.
18:20Hey, is everything all right?
18:21No, she's lost her mind.
18:23Yeah, I must have done to let you over me front doorstep.
18:25What's going on?
18:27Well, do you want to fill her in or do you want to pick up your stuff and then find
18:30the
18:30stone to crawl under?
18:31All right, all right.
18:32I'm going, I'm going.
18:33Yeah, well, think yourself lucky.
18:34The only reason I'm not screaming the truth with my megaphone is to protect your victims.
18:50It's funny, that, guys, isn't it?
18:51I mean, I don't think it is that funny, but I'll take it.
18:53It was, it was.
18:55Tell you what, let's get some more shots in, eh?
18:57I can't be staggering on my off-cut, mate.
18:59Oh, come on, Maria said you could have a few jars.
19:01Let's make it the most of it.
19:02Nicky boy, let's have another round of shots, please, sir.
19:04Are you sure?
19:05Yeah, never been all sure about in my life.
19:08Now, they were a good tribute act.
19:10Shut your eyes to him, YMCA, and it could have been the real thing.
19:13And as for what went on below deck, so to speak, all I can say is them Native American
19:18headdresses don't art-tickle.
19:19That's what he said.
19:21Well, at least he found it funny.
19:23Look, do you fancy going on somewhere?
19:25Canal Street, maybe?
19:28Look, Raymond, you're very sweet.
19:31Sweet?
19:32No, no.
19:33Anything but sweet.
19:35Nanas are sweet.
19:37I think what you meant to say was, Raymond, you're so unbelievably hot, I'm only going
19:41to end up getting burnt, so let's call it quits now.
19:44Am I right?
19:47Yeah.
19:48Well, you're not the first to say it.
19:52I'm sorry, I'm not really in the right headspace.
19:54Look, I get it, but, well, if laughing boy is who I suspect he might be, then I should
20:01get in that headspace soon, for your own sake.
20:04Come on, you can walk me to the bus stop.
20:16So it's another dead end.
20:19Not necessarily.
20:21If you give the hotel hard drive to the police, they may be able to retrieve the footage.
20:25Do you reckon?
20:26I'm no expert, but they are.
20:28If there's a trace of anything left, they'll find it.
20:31So worth a shot.
20:32I'll phone Kit first thing tomorrow.
20:34Did you reach mum?
20:35I left her a message to call.
20:36Oh, honestly, I'd just let her enjoy the rest of her holiday.
20:39Babe, she's going to find out sooner rather than later.
20:42Did you know they've let Megan out?
20:43Yeah, old news.
20:44Apparently they've not got enough evidence on her.
20:46But we're working on it.
20:47Yeah, well, you're not the only one.
20:49I was chafing her stuff out of the flat and I found some pregnancy vitamins.
20:52Well, you think she's having a baby?
20:55Well, um, she was.
20:57She had an abortion.
21:00I am only hearing about this now.
