The Accident (2019): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
So, he takes her on holiday.
And they hadn't slept together?
Not even a kiss. And?
He comes to see
her in her room,
nicely dressed,
admires the view,
and then asks her to marry him.
Before anything!
What did she say?
Well, she turned him down,
of course.
Must be something wrong,
she thought.
And was there?
Well, who's to know?
Next day he scarpered,
romantic tail between his legs.
She had a week to herself.
Best holiday she's ever had.
You're done.
Any problems with the colour,
turn the oven to 60,
pop your head inside,
three minutes and you'll be fine.
Someday someone'll
take you up on that.
Then you'll be sorry.
Ta-ra. Ta-ra.
BIRDSONG
Sh.
DOOR CLOSES
Out the window, don't you think?
Mam! Honestly.
You want your dad to find him?
Oh...
Good morning to you, too.
She's 15 by the way,
so what you just did is illegal.
Now get up and get out the window.
I didn't know...
Thought she was 24, did you?
And how old, are you?
Because you look 45.
HE SIGHS
There's nothing to climb down. Jump.
It's only two storeys.
I'm not jumping!
I'll happily push, love.
Right.
HE GRUNTS
Ah! Shit! Shit!
HE GRUNTS IN PAIN
I liked him.
Clean this up and then
get in the shower.
Jesus, Leona.
DOOR OPENS
Jesus, woman.
SHE LAUGHS
You were talking in your sleep
again last night, Cerian.
You were grinding
your teeth in yours.
And farting.
You OK?
Maybe...
..you should take today off.
It's St David's Day.
He commands you to take a break.
I'm going to win today - for you.
Too much to do.
Sorry.
Concrete's due,
I've got to be on site.
What are you doing now, woman?
Taking your mind off things.
Morning. Shall I do eggs?
This is the third time
they've played Barry Manilow
before 8 o'clock this week.
Think someone's having a laugh.
Or they're ill.
They could be ill.
SHE EXCLAIMS IN SURPRISE
SHE LAUGHS
Well, there you go then.
The sleeves are too long.
Do bananas have long sleeves?
It definitely
looks like a banana, then?
What are you worried it looks like?
Leader of the Council comes
to the fun run dressed as a...
..yellow appendage.
Well, now you say it.
Did I hear someone in?
It's Angela. She wanted to look
her best for today.
She pays like the rest of them.
Not to have it done at 6am.
How much does she pay?
Three quid.
Shit, what's that?
You look ridiculous.
Come on, love. Bit of pride.
Sorry, it suits you, Dad,
you look like a proper prick.
DOOR OPENS AND THEN SLAMS
Ignore her.
Oh, don't worry,
I've got good at that.
RADIO: ..Your calls and texts
to hear what you've been up to
today in the Valleys.
Mmm.
Today should be fun.
PHONE RINGS ON THE LINE
ANSWER MACHINE:
Thank you for calling.
To leave a message,
please continue to hold.
This is Alan Kethin, call me back.
Well, how's your ankle?
I didn't lie about my age.
You met me
in school uniform, you prick.
Ready? Oh, hi!
Jesus, Debbie, you running already?
It's not even started yet
and it's a fun walk.
It's a fun walk!
I'm running.
Silly cow.
Stop it.
Stop it!
SHE STIFLES A LAUGH
Heya, bud.
What the fuck is that?
Egg and Haribo sandwich.
How's that working out for you?
Haribo's a bit too chewy,
to be honest.
Give us a bite.
Mm.
Did you cook the Haribo
with the egg?
Course I did, I'm not a savage.
Where we meeting Seren?
Up there.
Few others are coming, too.
What's the plan?
We're going to have a lush time
while our mam's
are on that stupid run.
THROUGH SPEAKERS:
Good morning, everybody!
CROWD CHEERS
Great to see
so many of you here today.
I'm here...
..as head banana round here...
CROWD GROANS
..to tell you three things.
One is...
..that this is our town!
CROWD CHEERS
It's a great town!
CROWD APPLAUDS
A town with a proud tradition.
And, like many of you -
I was born here.
I love it here
and always have done,
through bad times and good.
CROWD MURMURS
Really bad times.
Bad weather.
But now we're starting to take
Glyngolau back to what it was.
CROWD APPLAUDS
What it should be. Yes! Yeah.
And this is more than about
money in our pockets.
It's about smiles
on our faces.
And a thousand new jobs...
..that's a thousand new smiles.
CROWD APPLAUDS IN DISTANCE
This'll really piss her dad off.
Yeah, banana dickhead.
Oh, are we actually
going to do this?
Go on, drop down.
THEY CHEER
Watch your head! Watch your head!
Fuck's sake. Ah, sorry. You ready?
Shut up.
ON SPEAKER: We all want the same
thing for this town -
for it to be
strong in the right way.
CROWD APPLAUDS
The third thing is -
you all look amazing!
CROWD CHEERS
Especially Rhys,
who hasn't worn
a tracksuit since 1979!
Looking good in it, mind you.
Here we go, then.
Three...
..two...
..one!
GUNSHOT
What are you doing? Come on!
And that's the reason
why I'm calling.
I know all this!
Yeah, I know all this, OK?
I know all of what you are saying,
I can hear, yeah.
You have to see where
I'm coming from as well, OK?
Because I was promised
the delivery last week.
I don't care what fucking
day it is, boyo,
I've got deadlines to meet
all right...
WATER DRIPS NEARBY
Hurry up, come on.
Soaking already, man!
Let's go!
THEY EXCLAIM IN EXCITEMENT
THEY CONTINUE TO SHOUT
Gethin!
Chris!
Over there.
Mia, come on.
Trying to eat Haribo
out of a frying pan!
Ruined my frying pan.
Wouldn't even scour off.
Go on there, Debbie. They're going
for it, these, aren't they?
Two laps, is it?
That's right,
two laps of the town route.
We'll only do the one.
Oh, what are those?
Creepy.
Seren left her dildos here, look!
Fuck you, Griff!
Griff's drawing a big penis, look.
Ah, that's sweet,
you copy that from a book?
Who's got a fag?
I'm writing "Fuck you".
Come on.
Don't use my name!
You ready?
You sure about this?
Why wouldn't I be sure?
I'm not being funny,
but you're not enjoying it,
if you hadn't realised.
Oh, come on, Rhys.
Come on, Rhys.
You can't
be going as fast as that.
Serious, Rhys.
Rhys, serious.
Oh, Rhys, come on,
you're a very big man.
THEY LAUGH
Come on, I insist on it.
Yay!
LOUD EXPLOSION IN DISTANCE
What's that?
Please stay back.
Stay back.
I can't let you through. Please.
I can't let you in,
please step back.
All right, Guy?
Has anyone been hurt?
We don't know anything yet, do we?
Well, what DO you know?
I know the more of my guys
I have to use controlling you,
the less I have on the site.
Please step back!
Please step back.
SHE GROANS
MAN: It's OK. You're OK.
You're going to be OK.
HE COUGHS
She's not answering.
Well, she doesn't answer her phone
at the best of times.
Leona, I need you to call me.
Do you understand?.
She'll be in someone's house,
smoking terrible substances.
Or cwtching up to some 40-year-old
bloke, you watch.
Oh, you're probably right.
Right, I'll see
if I can find anything out.
SIRENS WAIL
Stop there!
My husband is in there!
Alan!
Alan!
I'm taking you back.
Mia!
There's more kids down there.
How the hell did they get there?
Leona? Leona!
I hear you. I hear you.
SCREAMING
Fuck! Fuck! Excuse me, sorry.
LINE RINGS
Have you seen it?
No-one's answering their phones.
Oh, shit.
I really need to go down there.
Harriet?
Heath Thompson,
Fire Service area manager.
Are you in command? Yes, sir.
Sergeant Guy Hughes, sir.
Do you have any sense
of how many are trapped?
No, sir, but there are some, sir.
We've heard screaming, sir,
but we can't get to them.
SIREN APPROACHES
Mia! It's Mia.
It's Mia. She's answered.
Talk to me, love.
Mia?
They're in there.
It was a gas explosion?
Seems likely.
But we hadn't connected
our gas supply.
All possibilities are being
investigated.
But here's the thing - they believe
there were people inside.
What?
Kids, even.
Kids?
And Frank says to come home
until we know what's happening.
I keep trying her.
RASPY BREATHING
Get back! Get back!
SHE WHIMPERS
SCREAMING
SHE SCREAMS
Blue team, are you receiving me?
Over. Are you receiving me?
Get another team in there.
REPORTER: As yet, no-one has
been brought from the site.
There is as yet no confirmation as
to the number of people involved...
POLLY: Jesus...fuck.
..but reports suggest as many as
eight teenagers
may be trapped inside...
SECOND REPORTER: ..Kallbridge
have yet to make a statement.
What are you going to do about this?
I'm here to offer support.
This is your site. You did this!
I'm going to make a statement
saying what we as a company know.
And what do you know?
That this was done cheap as chips -
is that what you know?
Polly, I hardly think
that's fair or useful...
I know you. I know you!

PHONE DIALS OUT
Iwan? Where are you?
Our little girl...
We're still waiting on details.
Where are you? Call me.
Greta Collinson?
Can you come with me?
Is it all right if...? Yeah.
Rhys Griffiths?
Yeah. And Angela Griffiths.
Sorry.
Shall we talk over here?
Excuse me,
I'm looking for Alan Kethin.
Have you seen Alan Kethin?
You need to ask at reception.
They don't know where he is.
Mrs Bevan?
Yes, it's just me. Polly Bevan.
He's not answering his phone.
He must be...
I don't know, there must
be something. I don't know.
OK. Do you want to come
with me, please?
There's not many discreet places,
I'm sorry.
No, I can't, I can't, I can't...
I can't. No, I can't.
I've good news. Please, I can't.
Polly. Polly. Look at me.
I've good news.
She had a serious head injury
and a fractured skull.
She's still in theatre but she's...
She's doing well.
So, you can't see her
for a few hours. OK?
Cos I saw body bags and I thought...
I thought you were going to tell me
she's dead.
She's got some other
injuries we're dealing with.
A serious abdominal injury,
fractures to the pelvis and spine.
And we don't know the full extent
of anything right now
but we're optimistic.
The other kids?
They've been less fortunate.
There was a man first on the scene.
He was able to go inside
the building.
He got her closer to the entrance.
What man? I shouldn't...
Martin...Harris.
I think he's alive.
He's been brought in too.
Is she the only one?
We had them all together.
We had them all together.
They've all grown up together.
I have to get back to theatre.
She's dead.
SOBBING: Alan.
I'd like to see a man called Martin.
Are you family or a friend?
You can't just go in there.
Which one of you is Martin?
Martin?
I'm Martin.
Hello.
Apparently, you saved
my daughter's life.
She's alive? Yeah.
How were you even there?
Just walking past.
I was on a trip. I've been walking.
Well, thank God for your walk, then.
I don't know what to do here.
That's a good idea.
Well, if there's anything
I can do...
A business card?
Oh, don't get excited,
it's hairdressing.
Free haircuts for life, though,
if you want it.
I wouldn't force you into that.
This hair's got life of its own...
I can do something with it.
Well, erm...
..whatever I can do.
Whatever I can ever do.
Look after this one.
Look after him.
HARRIET, ON TV: We're going to make
a statement saying what we
as a company...
HE REWINDS
..to make a statement saying
what we as a company know.
What do you know?
That this was done cheap as chips?
Is that what you know?
I hardly think that's
fair or useful.
I know you!
HE REWINDS
..know you! I know you!
SCREAMING
And... did she give you any indication of
what she was planning to do today?
I'm so sorry to do all this
so early on.
I'm going to ask my questions
as quickly as possible.
All I'm trying to do is get
a sense of what happened.
Would she have reason
to enter the property?
It's her dad's pride and joy.
I don't understand.
Iwan's leader of the council.
He got the investment going.
No, he was, erm...managing the site
from the council's side.
So, you think this may have been
some kind of...
..rebellion gone wrong?
An explosion has to be
triggered by something -
could be a mechanical fault,
could be a deliberate act.
What, you think she might
have done this on purpose?
Right now, I don't think anything...
I need to go.
ON PHONE: I just wish I was there
with you.
Did you see it?
Is it running on all the channels?
It's all over Twitter. Who is she?
Polly Bevan, the councillor's wife.
I never liked her.
Busybody. Hairdresser.
Her husband's
afraid of her, you know.
But still, her child...
You said the right thing.
You did nothing wrong.
You think it's a mistake being here?
I didn't want you to go,
but you need to be careful.
I could get the first train down.
No. No.
I'll need you where you are,
across our other projects.
Harriet, you can't
do this on your own.
I'll need more useful people.
I don't know who, but...
OK.
I can't work out if
we're responsible for this.
I love you.
Put me through to the others.
I need to work out what
statement I'm going to give.
DOOR CLOSES
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
I'm not stopping.
He's promised me time with her
at 9.30, so...
Says she'll be ready for
visitors then,
so I'm out of here in ten.
What's that doing out?
I will come to the hospital.
I just...wasn't sure what to, erm...
I wasn't sure what to...
Well, I wasn't sure if
she'd have wanted me there.
Why wouldn't she
have wanted you there?
We raised good money
with the buckets.
Jim, bless him, counted it.
I said, "Why did you count it, Jim?"
and he said, "Carry on, that's what
they say."
War baby, you see.
Don't make me tea.
I'm going back to the hospital.
Will you come?
She'll want to see just you first.
She won't want to see me.
Iwan... I'm right and you know it.
She was there because it was yours.
Fucking boasting - "Look at this
thing I've built," the big I am.
She was there because it was yours
and so was everyone else.
I don't know what she was trying
to do there but she was there
because it was yours and you
can't even come and see her?!
Some father.
Some daughter.
Fucking buckets.
Your FUCKING BUCKETS!
SHE SOBS
You're a coward.
Making a show of yourself.
Not the face.
Making a show of yourself
on the television, hmm?
SHE SHOUTS IN PAIN
Eh?
SHE SHOUTS
SHE GASPS
HE SOBS
SHE GROANS
Shh.
Shh.
SHE GROANS
HE CRIES
I was coming to find you.
There's talk of going
to the site together...
..as a town. Those who've got
something they want to say.
Say that again.
The town are going to go to the
site together, tonight.
A vigil?
If you like.
He tried to save your daughter.
I know.
HARRIET, ON TV: Kallbridge
Developments has never encountered
a tragedy like this before.
What we were doing here was
undertaking vital regenerative work
for the area. We need to get to the
bottom of what happened here,
and we need to find who
or what was responsible
for these terrible events.
We will be doing so with
great speed.... Polly?
..and during that time -
the reason why I'm here -
we will be providing
all the support we can
to the victims of these
terrible events.
It looks likely there's
a paralysis of some sort.
We still don't know what state
her brain is in, I'm afraid.
But she's opened her eyes,
and that's a very good sign.
Sorry...
..where's your bathroom?
I can't see my...daughter
looking like this.
If there's anything you need...
No, there's nothing.
I understand
your daughter's in recovery.
There will be things you need.
I understand everything
you said and why you said it.
You were wrong, but I understand.
You say the word "understand"
a lot, you know that?
I'm here for you.
And for Iwan of course.
I'm here for every...one.
Just this way, OK?
Oh, God.
Thank you.
MONITORS BEEP
It's my fault.
My fault.
I suddenly had the thought
that I should sing.
I've never been with you
when you've been this quiet.
Don't worry, I won't sing.
KNOCK ON DOOR
Come in.
Come in.
She's pretty banged up
but she's doing OK.
They say she won't be able to
speak for a bit.
She can't take things in or she
can't get things out or something.
Brain is disordered,
I think they said,
so I've been talking slowly
and writing things down for her,
but I just hope she's not asking
for something and I can't help her.
Difficult.
Look at me. Leona, look at me.
I'm going to read out the alphabet.
When we reach a letter
you want to stop on, blink.
I'll then ask you to repeat it.
We need to get you talking, OK?
A, B, C, D,
E, F, G,
H, I...
M, N, O...
Was that O you wanted?
Blink again if it was O.
OK.
A, B, C, D,
E, F, G,
H, I, J...
R, S, T...
T. Did you mean T?
Yes, good girl. Ot.
What does ot mean?
A, B, C, D
G, H...
H. Is it H?
C, D, E...
Did you mean E?
Other?
Others?
Are you trying to say others?
What others? Oh.
Oh.
You were very lucky.
You were lucky.
And we were, because I need you.
And the others were...
LEONA CRIES
Well, they were less lucky.
I know.
Don't worry.
We'll find out who did this.
CRYING CONTINUES
MAN: # Abide with me
CROWD JOINING IN:
# Fast falls the eventide...
No singing.
No singing, please.
No problem, Ange. Sorry, Ange.
SCATTERED SINGING
No singing!
THEY CRY
This is your daughter.
Whatever you know, you say.
You understand?
I didn't do anything wrong.
This company are setting to throw
you to the wolves.
We need to change the narrative.
Shush!
Debbie! Debbie, what do you make
of these allegations?
Did your husband do this?
Debbie, did your husband Alan...
You and that husband of yours!
He has blood on his hands!
I just need help here, Leona.
What were you doing?
She looks at me and there's hell
in her eyes.
All I can do is wipe
her dribble away from her chin.
I like you, but I can't give
him penance.
And they hadn't slept together?
Not even a kiss. And?
He comes to see
her in her room,
nicely dressed,
admires the view,
and then asks her to marry him.
Before anything!
What did she say?
Well, she turned him down,
of course.
Must be something wrong,
she thought.
And was there?
Well, who's to know?
Next day he scarpered,
romantic tail between his legs.
She had a week to herself.
Best holiday she's ever had.
You're done.
Any problems with the colour,
turn the oven to 60,
pop your head inside,
three minutes and you'll be fine.
Someday someone'll
take you up on that.
Then you'll be sorry.
Ta-ra. Ta-ra.

for it, these, aren't they?
Two laps, is it?
That's right,
two laps of the town route.
We'll only do the one.
Oh, what are those?
Creepy.
Seren left her dildos here, look!
Fuck you, Griff!
Griff's drawing a big penis, look.
Ah, that's sweet,
you copy that from a book?
Who's got a fag?
I'm writing "Fuck you".
Come on.
Don't use my name!
You ready?
You sure about this?
Why wouldn't I be sure?
I'm not being funny,
but you're not enjoying it,
if you hadn't realised.
Oh, come on, Rhys.
Come on, Rhys.
You can't
be going as fast as that.
Serious, Rhys.
Rhys, serious.
Oh, Rhys, come on,
you're a very big man.
THEY LAUGH
Come on, I insist on it.
Yay!
LOUD EXPLOSION IN DISTANCE
What's that?
Please stay back.
Stay back.
I can't let you through. Please.
I can't let you in,
please step back.
All right, Guy?
Has anyone been hurt?
We don't know anything yet, do we?
Well, what DO you know?
I know the more of my guys
I have to use controlling you,
the less I have on the site.
Please step back!
Please step back.
SHE GROANS
MAN: It's OK. You're OK.
You're going to be OK.
HE COUGHS
She's not answering.
Well, she doesn't answer her phone
at the best of times.
Leona, I need you to call me.
Do you understand?.
She'll be in someone's house,
smoking terrible substances.
Or cwtching up to some 40-year-old
bloke, you watch.
Oh, you're probably right.
Right, I'll see
if I can find anything out.
SIRENS WAIL
Stop there!
My husband is in there!
Alan!
Alan!
I'm taking you back.
Mia!
There's more kids down there.
How the hell did they get there?
Leona? Leona!
I hear you. I hear you.
SCREAMING
Fuck! Fuck! Excuse me, sorry.
LINE RINGS
Have you seen it?
No-one's answering their phones.
Oh, shit.
I really need to go down there.
Harriet?
Heath Thompson,
Fire Service area manager.
Are you in command? Yes, sir.
Sergeant Guy Hughes, sir.
Do you have any sense
of how many are trapped?
No, sir, but there are some, sir.
We've heard screaming, sir,
but we can't get to them.
SIREN APPROACHES
Mia! It's Mia.
It's Mia. She's answered.
Talk to me, love.
Mia?
They're in there.
It was a gas explosion?
Seems likely.
But we hadn't connected
our gas supply.
All possibilities are being
investigated.
But here's the thing - they believe
there were people inside.
What?
Kids, even.
Kids?
And Frank says to come home
until we know what's happening.
I keep trying her.
RASPY BREATHING
Get back! Get back!
SHE WHIMPERS
SCREAMING
SHE SCREAMS
Blue team, are you receiving me?
Over. Are you receiving me?
Get another team in there.
REPORTER: As yet, no-one has
been brought from the site.
There is as yet no confirmation as
to the number of people involved...
POLLY: Jesus...fuck.
..but reports suggest as many as
eight teenagers
may be trapped inside...
SECOND REPORTER: ..Kallbridge
have yet to make a statement.
What are you going to do about this?
I'm here to offer support.
This is your site. You did this!
I'm going to make a statement
saying what we as a company know.
And what do you know?
That this was done cheap as chips -
is that what you know?
Polly, I hardly think
that's fair or useful...
I know you. I know you!

Iwan? Where are you?
Our little girl...
We're still waiting on details.
Where are you? Call me.
Greta Collinson?
Can you come with me?
Is it all right if...? Yeah.
Rhys Griffiths?
Yeah. And Angela Griffiths.
Sorry.
Shall we talk over here?
Excuse me,
I'm looking for Alan Kethin.
Have you seen Alan Kethin?
You need to ask at reception.
They don't know where he is.
Mrs Bevan?
Yes, it's just me. Polly Bevan.
He's not answering his phone.
He must be...
I don't know, there must
be something. I don't know.
OK. Do you want to come
with me, please?
There's not many discreet places,
I'm sorry.
No, I can't, I can't, I can't...
I can't. No, I can't.
I've good news. Please, I can't.
Polly. Polly. Look at me.
I've good news.
She had a serious head injury
and a fractured skull.
She's still in theatre but she's...
She's doing well.
So, you can't see her
for a few hours. OK?
Cos I saw body bags and I thought...
I thought you were going to tell me
she's dead.
She's got some other
injuries we're dealing with.
A serious abdominal injury,
fractures to the pelvis and spine.
And we don't know the full extent
of anything right now
but we're optimistic.
The other kids?
They've been less fortunate.
There was a man first on the scene.
He was able to go inside
the building.
He got her closer to the entrance.
What man? I shouldn't...
Martin...Harris.
I think he's alive.
He's been brought in too.
Is she the only one?
We had them all together.
We had them all together.
They've all grown up together.
I have to get back to theatre.
She's dead.
SOBBING: Alan.
I'd like to see a man called Martin.
Are you family or a friend?
You can't just go in there.
Which one of you is Martin?
Martin?
I'm Martin.
Hello.
Apparently, you saved
my daughter's life.
She's alive? Yeah.
How were you even there?
Just walking past.
I was on a trip. I've been walking.
Well, thank God for your walk, then.
I don't know what to do here.
That's a good idea.
Well, if there's anything
I can do...
A business card?
Oh, don't get excited,
it's hairdressing.
Free haircuts for life, though,
if you want it.
I wouldn't force you into that.
This hair's got life of its own...
I can do something with it.
Well, erm...
..whatever I can do.
Whatever I can ever do.
Look after this one.
Look after him.
HARRIET, ON TV: We're going to make
a statement saying what we
as a company...
HE REWINDS
..to make a statement saying
what we as a company know.
What do you know?
That this was done cheap as chips?
Is that what you know?
I hardly think that's
fair or useful.
I know you!
HE REWINDS
..know you! I know you!
SCREAMING
And... did she give you any indication of
what she was planning to do today?
I'm so sorry to do all this
so early on.
I'm going to ask my questions
as quickly as possible.
All I'm trying to do is get
a sense of what happened.
Would she have reason
to enter the property?
It's her dad's pride and joy.
I don't understand.
Iwan's leader of the council.
He got the investment going.
No, he was, erm...managing the site
from the council's side.
So, you think this may have been
some kind of...
..rebellion gone wrong?
An explosion has to be
triggered by something -
could be a mechanical fault,
could be a deliberate act.
What, you think she might
have done this on purpose?
Right now, I don't think anything...
I need to go.
ON PHONE: I just wish I was there
with you.
Did you see it?
Is it running on all the channels?
It's all over Twitter. Who is she?
Polly Bevan, the councillor's wife.
I never liked her.
Busybody. Hairdresser.
Her husband's
afraid of her, you know.
But still, her child...
You said the right thing.
You did nothing wrong.
You think it's a mistake being here?
I didn't want you to go,
but you need to be careful.
I could get the first train down.
No. No.
I'll need you where you are,
across our other projects.
Harriet, you can't
do this on your own.
I'll need more useful people.
I don't know who, but...
OK.
I can't work out if
we're responsible for this.
I love you.
Put me through to the others.
I need to work out what
statement I'm going to give.
DOOR CLOSES
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
I'm not stopping.
He's promised me time with her
at 9.30, so...
Says she'll be ready for
visitors then,
so I'm out of here in ten.
What's that doing out?
I will come to the hospital.
I just...wasn't sure what to, erm...
I wasn't sure what to...
Well, I wasn't sure if
she'd have wanted me there.
Why wouldn't she
have wanted you there?
We raised good money
with the buckets.
Jim, bless him, counted it.
I said, "Why did you count it, Jim?"
and he said, "Carry on, that's what
they say."
War baby, you see.
Don't make me tea.
I'm going back to the hospital.
Will you come?
She'll want to see just you first.
She won't want to see me.
Iwan... I'm right and you know it.
She was there because it was yours.
Fucking boasting - "Look at this
thing I've built," the big I am.
She was there because it was yours
and so was everyone else.
I don't know what she was trying
to do there but she was there
because it was yours and you
can't even come and see her?!
Some father.
Some daughter.
Fucking buckets.
Your FUCKING BUCKETS!
SHE SOBS
You're a coward.
Making a show of yourself.
Not the face.
Making a show of yourself
on the television, hmm?
SHE SHOUTS IN PAIN
Eh?
SHE SHOUTS
SHE GASPS

HE CRIES
I was coming to find you.
There's talk of going
to the site together...
..as a town. Those who've got
something they want to say.
Say that again.
The town are going to go to the
site together, tonight.
A vigil?
If you like.
He tried to save your daughter.
I know.
HARRIET, ON TV: Kallbridge
Developments has never encountered
a tragedy like this before.
What we were doing here was
undertaking vital regenerative work
for the area. We need to get to the
bottom of what happened here,
and we need to find who
or what was responsible
for these terrible events.
We will be doing so with
great speed.... Polly?
..and during that time -
the reason why I'm here -
we will be providing
all the support we can
to the victims of these
terrible events.
It looks likely there's
a paralysis of some sort.
We still don't know what state
her brain is in, I'm afraid.
But she's opened her eyes,
and that's a very good sign.
Sorry...
..where's your bathroom?
I can't see my...daughter
looking like this.
If there's anything you need...
No, there's nothing.
I understand
your daughter's in recovery.
There will be things you need.
I understand everything
you said and why you said it.
You were wrong, but I understand.
You say the word "understand"
a lot, you know that?
I'm here for you.
And for Iwan of course.
I'm here for every...one.
Just this way, OK?
Oh, God.
Thank you.
MONITORS BEEP
It's my fault.
My fault.
I suddenly had the thought
that I should sing.
I've never been with you
when you've been this quiet.
Don't worry, I won't sing.
KNOCK ON DOOR
Come in.
Come in.
She's pretty banged up
but she's doing OK.
They say she won't be able to
speak for a bit.
She can't take things in or she
can't get things out or something.
Brain is disordered,
I think they said,
so I've been talking slowly
and writing things down for her,
but I just hope she's not asking
for something and I can't help her.
Difficult.
Look at me. Leona, look at me.
I'm going to read out the alphabet.
When we reach a letter
you want to stop on, blink.
I'll then ask you to repeat it.
We need to get you talking, OK?
A, B, C, D,
E, F, G,
H, I...
M, N, O...
Was that O you wanted?
Blink again if it was O.
OK.
A, B, C, D,
E, F, G,
H, I, J...
R, S, T...
T. Did you mean T?
Yes, good girl. Ot.
What does ot mean?
A, B, C, D
G, H...
H. Is it H?
C, D, E...
Did you mean E?
Other?
Others?
Are you trying to say others?
What others? Oh.
Oh.
You were very lucky.
You were lucky.
And we were, because I need you.
And the others were...
LEONA CRIES
Well, they were less lucky.
I know.
Don't worry.
We'll find out who did this.
CRYING CONTINUES
MAN: # Abide with me
CROWD JOINING IN:
# Fast falls the eventide...
No singing.
No singing, please.
No problem, Ange. Sorry, Ange.
SCATTERED SINGING
No singing!
THEY CRY
This is your daughter.
Whatever you know, you say.
You understand?
I didn't do anything wrong.
This company are setting to throw
you to the wolves.
We need to change the narrative.
Shush!
Debbie! Debbie, what do you make
of these allegations?
Did your husband do this?
Debbie, did your husband Alan...
You and that husband of yours!
He has blood on his hands!
I just need help here, Leona.
What were you doing?
She looks at me and there's hell
in her eyes.
All I can do is wipe
her dribble away from her chin.
I like you, but I can't give
him penance.
