00:29 [ Background Sounds ]
00:45 >> Morning.
00:47 >> Constable.
00:48 >> I called him.
00:49 Thank you for coming.
00:52 >> Of course.
00:54 I'm sorry for your loss.
00:56 >> Thank you.
00:58 >> As you know, Ethan was due in court yesterday
01:00 for his plea hearing, causing serious injury
01:04 by dangerous driving and failing to stop and report an accident.
01:10 He made a mistake, but he was taking responsibility
01:13 for his actions.
01:13 He was going to plead guilty.
01:15 I want you to know that.
01:16 I want everyone to know that.
01:18 >> We're still very much in shock.
01:20 >> A week ago, Ethan was a victim of a hit
01:23 and run right here in the village.
01:25 Now whoever was driving that car meant to run him over.
01:28 >> Excuse me.
01:29 >> Charles.
01:29 >> It needs to be said.
01:31 Ethan claimed that he didn't know who it was,
01:35 but I'm not sure he's telling the truth.
01:36 Either way, it doesn't matter, does it?
01:38 He's dead, isn't he?
01:39 So how about I give you a list of names to start off with?
01:43 >> Lydia.
01:49 It's Tom.
01:50 I'm here with Piper.
01:51 She's not looking any better, I'm afraid.
01:54 Worse, if anything.
01:55 I don't know if you've spoken to Belle yet
01:57 because I haven't heard anything, but you might have
01:59 to prepare her for the worst.
02:01 Anyway, I just wanted to let you know.
02:04 Call me back when you can.
02:22 >> Oh, come on.
02:23 Don't look at me like that.
02:24 Okay? Okay.
02:27 You win. I'll give you another hour.
02:29 But if I've not heard anything by then.
02:31 I can't let you carry on like this.
02:38 That'd be cruel.
02:40 You won't feel a thing this time.
02:42 I promise.
02:47 [ Birds chirping ]
02:53 >> Is the police already?
02:54 >> It's all right.
02:55 It could be about anything.
02:56 We're just going about our business, right?
02:58 Right?
03:01 >> I don't think I can do this.
03:02 >> Of course you can.
03:04 Now listen to me, okay?
03:06 You stick to the story, and we'll be fine.
03:09 Come on.
03:10 [ Footsteps ]
03:14 Morning.
03:16 >> Morning.
03:16 >> You're looking for Aaron.
03:17 I'm not sure that he's in.
03:18 >> That's okay.
03:19 I'll catch him later.
03:20 You and your wife have a few minutes.
03:22 >> Yeah, of course.
03:23 What's that about?
03:24 >> You have no doubt heard about Ethan Anderson.
03:26 >> Yeah.
03:27 >> We saw him being taken away in the ambulance.
03:29 >> Do you know, there's pretty much no trace of her online.
03:33 And she's got no social media.
03:35 I mean, don't you think that's weird?
03:36 >> Well, not everyone's obsessed with the socials.
03:38 I'm not checking up on her for her anyway.
03:40 It's not like I want to do this, you know.
03:45 Like I said, this is going to be harder for me than it is for you.
03:47 >> Hi, Piper.
03:51 Hi, it's okay.
03:54 Mommy's home.
03:54 Mommy's home.
03:55 >> I take it Lydia told you.
04:01 I said I didn't want you worrying.
04:03 >> Well, thankfully she didn't agree.
04:05 What's wrong with her?
04:07 >> Well, she must have eaten something that she shouldn't have
04:12 when I took her off the lead in the woods.
04:14 Poor little thing.
04:15 >> I know.
04:16 >> It's okay.
04:20 It's okay.
04:22 >> More flowers.
04:29 Bob and Wendy.
04:30 >> With deepest sympathy from one family to another.
04:34 >> Thoughtful of them.
04:35 >> Yeah, job done.
04:37 >> Bob lost his son too, Charles.
04:40 >> We're going to need another vase.
04:43 I think there's one under the sink.
04:44 >> It is my turn.
04:46 Drink?
05:02 >> No. We just wanted to say how sorry we are.
05:11 And if there's anything we can do, like anything at all.
05:17 >> How about you tell me who's driving the car?
05:21 Better still, tell the police.
05:25 >> I think that's enough.
05:26 >> It's all right.
05:27 You know it wasn't me.
05:29 >> How about you?
05:32 >> Come on.
05:33 >> I think maybe we should just go.
05:37 >> Yeah.
05:40 >> I'll take it.
05:42 >> Thank you.
05:43 I'll see you out.
05:45 >> What?
05:52 >> Don't you think it's time you let Esme
05:55 and Naomi know what's happened?
05:56 >> Maybe I'll just wait for them to call next day.
05:59 >> Esme's his mother, Charles.
06:01 We can't leave it another day.
06:03 It's getting late out there.
06:04 >> Nathan's my son, and I'll call when I'm ready.
06:06 In the meantime, his mother and sister can go to bed
06:10 without giving him a second thought.
06:11 Just like every other day.
06:15 >> Hey, it's me.
06:20 I saw you talking to the police earlier.
06:23 Is everything okay?
06:24 Well, you say it's none of my business, but okay, okay.
06:29 I'm sorry I asked.
06:30 No, nothing to report here.
06:33 I'm doing the best I can.
06:34 Might be a little easy with Kim and I. I've got to go.
06:37 >> Oh, sorry.
06:40 >> No, no need to apologise.
06:42 It's your home, not mine.
06:43 Just one of those marketing calls, anyway.
06:46 >> All right.
06:47 >> You okay?
06:49 >> I was just thinking about Charles.
06:51 You know, the vicar.
06:52 Losing his lad like that.
06:55 >> Yeah, of course.
06:56 It was so sudden.
06:57 Do we know any more about what happened?
06:59 >> No.
07:00 >> Fancy a coffee?
07:03 >> No, I'm going to go and check on Horses.
07:05 >> Surely you have staff for that?
07:07 >> Yeah, but all the same.
07:09 Kim likes me to keep an eye on things while she's not here.
07:11 >> That include me?
07:12 >> Her.
07:13 >> Why don't I come with you?
07:15 Easier for you to keep an eye on me, then.
07:18 >> No.
07:19 >> Will I need wellies?
07:20 Hello?
07:23 Just dropping by these DVDs?
07:26 Anyone home?
07:32 All right, Ella.
07:36 I see what you're really about.
07:38 >> Excuse you.
07:53 >> I was just, um.
07:55 >> Looking for something?
07:57 >> Yeah. Yeah, I was, actually.
08:01 Your driving licence.
08:02 >> Why would you be interested in that?
08:04 >> Because you don't seem to exist.
08:06 You've got no family.
08:08 You've got no friends.
08:09 And you've got no social media.
08:11 >> Have you been checking up on me?
08:12 >> Yeah, I have.
08:14 I mean, that wouldn't matter, would it?
08:17 You know, if you didn't have anything to hide.
08:18 >> I don't even know where to start right now.
08:20 >> Why don't you start with the truth?
08:21 >> I think you'd better leave before one
08:25 of us says something we might regret.
08:26 >> Okay.
08:30 >> Um, keys.
08:37 >> Can't we just go home?
08:51 >> No, come on.
08:52 We're here now.
08:53 Why don't you go and get a table?
08:57 Hey. Hi.
08:58 May I have a gin and tonic and a pint of zero, sir?
09:01 >> Aaron says Swirly spoke to you.
09:04 Sounds like Ethan's death was connected to that hit and run.
09:07 >> On the day of the fate.
09:08 >> Yeah, they've got to follow every line of inquiry, I suppose.
09:10 >> You don't agree?
09:12 >> I don't know.
09:13 I wasn't there.
09:14 >> That makes two of us.
09:15 >> That actually makes three of us.
09:16 >> Oh, and counting.
09:18 Have the police spoken to you yet?
09:20 >> They ran around Si Charles earlier.
09:22 >> You all but accused me of being behind the wheel.
09:24 >> Yeah, well, he's just lost his son.
09:28 He's looking for someone to blame.
09:29 I won't take it personally.
09:30 Here. Give that to your mum.
09:33 >> Well, maybe there is somebody to blame.
09:36 [ Music ]
09:49 >> You okay?
09:49 >> Yeah. Charles, I'm so sorry.
09:55 >> Just a pint, please.
09:56 [ Music ]
10:02 Is it something I said?
10:04 [ Music ]
10:09 >> Or maybe it's something I know.
10:10 >> Listen, don't look at me.
10:12 I genuinely hope they find the person who was driving that car that evening.
10:15 >> Yeah, we all do.
10:17 I'm telling you now, you won't find him in here.
10:19 >> I suppose Cain isn't here for one.
10:23 >> Look, Charles, I don't want to argue with you.
10:25 >> I really don't give a damn what you want.
10:27 One of you killed my boy.
10:30 >> That's enough.
10:34 All of you.
10:34 [ Music ]
10:49 >> Hey.
10:50 >> Oh.
10:50 >> What's up?
10:51 >> Busted.
10:54 The secret of Lowland Hall.
10:56 I was just sneaking a few chapters in while Wendy's sorting out a locum.
10:59 It's really got its hooks into me, this.
11:01 I don't mind admitting.
11:01 >> Speaking of which, we need to talk about Alan.
11:04 >> Really?
11:04 >> I'm telling you, there's something not right with her.
11:07 Went to yours earlier, you know, to drop off them films.
11:11 Anyway, no one was home, so I used a spare key to let myself in.
11:13 >> You could have just posted them through the letterbox, you know.
11:15 >> I didn't want anyone to stand on them.
11:17 Anyway, that's when I noticed her handbag.
11:19 Long story short, she might have caught me going through it.
11:22 >> Laila.
11:24 >> Well, I wanted you to hear it from me first.
11:26 >> Look.
11:26 Well, thank you very much for the heads up.
11:28 I really should be going.
11:30 >> Tell me, did you find anything interesting,
11:37 anything to support this hunch of yours?
11:38 >> It was more of what I didn't find.
11:41 There was nothing, apart from a few basic debit cards.
11:45 I mean, don't you think?
11:46 That's weird.
11:47 >> Well, even if I did, it's none of my business,
11:50 and it's certainly none of yours.
11:51 >> And then there's the total lack of social media presence.
11:55 Not my words.
11:57 Something not right with her.
11:59 >> You know, I could have lost my son, too.
12:01 I realize that is no consolation to you right now.
12:05 >> I don't want consolation.
12:06 I want justice.
12:09 >> Be careful with that, because it twists you up inside,
12:14 leaves you wondering who you are.
12:15 I should know.
12:17 >> Ruby, I'm not sure this is helping.
12:20 >> Why don't we give Charles some space?
12:23 >> Yeah, good idea.
12:24 >> No, Nicky's right.
12:25 Let's just go home.
12:27 >> At least your son had the decency to come and see me.
12:29 >> I wanted Ethan to pay for what he did to Nicky.
12:32 I'm not going to stand here and pretend otherwise.
12:35 But I would not wish this on my worst enemy.
12:40 >> None of us would.
12:41 >> I really am so sorry for your loss.
12:56 >> I'm sorry, but you're going to have to give me a hand here.
12:58 Oh, come on.
13:00 Quick. Tug.
13:03 Tug. And that one.
13:05 Oof. Wham, bam.
13:07 Thank you, ma'am.
13:08 Do you fancy that coffee now?
13:10 >> No, I'm all right.
13:11 >> Something stronger?
13:13 >> No.
13:14 >> Oh, come on.
13:15 I thought we were meant to be having fun while the cat's away
13:18 and all that.
13:19 >> Rose, you've just followed me around the stables for an hour.
13:22 I never thought I'd say this to you of all people,
13:24 but you need to get out more.
13:26 >> Do you know I had horse riding lessons
13:30 when I was a little girl?
13:31 Did I ever tell you that?
13:32 >> I don't remember.
13:34 >> Yeah. It was something of a short-lived phase.
13:37 Have you ever thought about learning,
13:39 now that you're a country squire?
13:41 >> What, me?
13:42 On a horse?
13:43 >> Well, when you put it like that.
13:45 Unless it's got an engine, right?
13:47 >> Pretty much.
13:48 >> Do you remember our first car?
13:50 You spent half your time trying to keep that thing on the road.
13:54 >> Yeah. Should've cut me loss as well before I did.
13:56 >> Oh, come on.
13:57 You loved it.
13:58 >> Or maybe I just hadn't learned to recognise
14:01 when I was flogging a dead horse.
14:03 >> She's going to stand there looking at me?
14:12 >> You were going to tell him, weren't you,
14:14 if I hadn't have stepped in?
14:15 >> Maybe. No.
14:18 Can't even be honest about that.
14:23 >> Truth is, as it turns out,
14:26 I'm a coward as well as a murderer.
14:27 >> There is no truth.
14:28 There's just things that have happened
14:31 and things that haven't happened.
14:32 We make our own truth, right?
14:33 >> Come on, Caleb.
14:34 >> What's going on?
14:40 Ma'am?
14:43 >> You were on edge even before Charles turned up.
14:48 So about Ethan.
14:49 >> I am so sorry.
14:55 >> Hey, what's happened with Ethan, it's not your fault.
15:00 However much you might have been angry with him.
15:03 >> Wait, you think I haven't already told her that?
15:05 You know what she gets like when she's had a drink?
15:07 >> Don't you dare!
15:08 >> Maybe your dad's right.
15:12 No. No more lies.
15:18 >> Ruby.
15:18 >> I was the one who hit Ethan.
15:23 It was me driving the car.
15:25 >> She's managing her treats.
15:29 From what Lydia said, it sounded like she was on Death Star.
15:32 >> Well, it was certainly looking that way, believe me.
15:35 But I think finally she started to turn a corner.
15:38 I could put it down to my excellent care,
15:41 but I think maybe it's because you're home.
15:43 So, what happens now?
15:50 Are you back for good?
15:52 Or is it straight back to the assessment unit
15:55 or whatever it's called?
15:55 >> No, I don't think I need to go back there.
15:58 >> Oh, crisis over.
16:00 Sorry, I didn't mean for it to come out like that.
16:04 >> Didn't you?
16:04 >> I don't know, maybe.
16:07 Why didn't you want to see me, Belle?
16:11 You wouldn't even take my calls.
16:14 >> I'm sorry.
16:15 >> Sorry is just a word, isn't it?
16:16 You had me worried sick.
16:18 >> I was just trying to get everything straight in my head.
16:21 >> Was there much talking as part of your assessment?
16:26 >> Some.
16:27 >> Okay.
16:30 >> I'm sorry, I just feel like I can't go into it right now.
16:34 But soon, I promise.
16:35 I know that I didn't forget to take my medication.
16:40 >> I think maybe we should call Lydia.
16:44 Update her on Piper and let her know that you're home.
16:46 Unless, of course, she already knows.
16:50 >> No, I was going to go see her in person.
16:51 >> Oh, even better.
16:53 I can go with you.
16:54 >> No, what about Piper?
16:55 >> Right, of course.
16:58 >> Maybe it can wait.
17:00 >> It's up to you.
17:02 >> I just want to be here with you and Piper.
17:05 Is that okay with you?
17:06 >> What do you think?
17:08 [ Background Sounds ]
17:20 >> Should have brought my book.
17:22 >> Sorry.
17:23 >> Liam.
17:25 >> Susie said you were getting back from a meeting
17:28 and kindly let me wait.
17:29 >> Yeah, actually, I'll leave you guys to it.
17:31 >> No, stay.
17:31 Did you manage to find anything out about Ella earlier?
17:33 Oh, no, it's okay.
17:35 He knows.
17:36 >> You don't have to say anything if you don't want to.
17:38 >> Well, I just thought maybe you would believe her.
17:40 >> Actually, I did find something, only by chance.
17:43 It's an article about a pub fun run
17:46 up in the Dales five or so years ago.
17:48 Here we are.
17:52 Employees Lucy, Kate, Ella,
17:54 and Oliver raised an additional 300 pounds by coming to work
17:58 in fancy dress for a week.
17:59 >> Is that it?
18:01 >> No, there's a photo of all four of them together as well.
18:05 >> Yeah, that's her.
18:11 That's Ella dressed as Wonder Woman.
18:15 Right, well, there we are then.
18:19 Time to let this go, I think.
18:21 Oh, and you should probably know, I've moved the spare key.
18:25 No more letting yourself in.
18:26 I think it's for the best, don't you?
18:27 >> That doesn't prove anything.
18:29 I mean, look at the way she's trying to avoid the camera.
18:31 >> Except she is who she says she is.
18:35 >> Well, explain this then.
18:37 Found it in her handbag.
18:39 That's Ella there, isn't it?
18:41 On the left.
18:42 >> I mean, it defo looks like her.
18:45 I mean, what, she must be about 10, 11?
18:48 I wonder who the girl is next to her.
18:50 >> Names are on the back.
18:51 I wonder which one Ella is.
18:53 Ruth or Joanne?
18:55 And the question is, why would she change her name?
18:59 >> So what you said to Charles in the pub
19:04 about wanting Ethan to pay for what he did.
19:06 >> I only wanted to shake him up.
19:07 >> Your mum thought she was going to lose you because of Ethan.
19:11 You have no idea what that was like for her.
19:13 >> Yeah, but Charles does.
19:14 And a lot more than an idea.
19:16 You ran him over for God's sake and now he's dead.
19:19 >> We don't know there's any connection.
19:21 >> Not yet anyway.
19:22 >> Right. Which is why we need to keep this between ourselves.
19:27 You understand?
19:30 You're asking me to be complicit in covering up a serious criminal act.
19:35 Possibly even a murder.
19:37 >> I'm sorry that you're involved.
19:38 I really didn't want this.
19:40 >> And what about Ethan?
19:40 Huh? Are you sorry that he's dead?
19:43 Or does that not even come into it?
19:45 This is insane.
19:50 I can't be here right now.
19:52 >> Nicky.
19:52 >> We need to hear you say it.
19:54 >> Let him go.
19:57 He's not going to say anything.
20:02 >> We don't know that, do we?
20:03 You know, maybe the only thing
20:06 that we've ever got right was raising him to be better than we are.
20:10 >> I brought some of the flowers over.
20:22 Hope you don't mind.
20:23 >> Thanks.
20:25 >> Not in there.
20:28 You're not the only one who's hurting.
20:31 Who's my grandson.
20:33 Still just a baby to me.
20:35 If you like, we could pray together.
20:39 You need your faith now more than ever.
20:42 >> What I need is to be alone.
20:45 >> He's really gone.
20:56 What now?
21:00 What the hell am I supposed to do now?
21:14 >> More semi-finalists will be hoping to impress the judges tonight.
21:17 All the gang are back for more Britain's Got Talent live here on ITV1 from 8 o'clock.
21:22 It's off to the cobbles next, though, for Coronation Street.
21:26 [ Music ]
