The Pact (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Episode #2.3 - full transcript
I think I'm your brother.
Louie, you don't want to cross me.
I want answers, Christine!
And I'll find them!
I will find them!
How do you feel about walking me
down the aisle?
I'd love to.
BANGS ON DOOR
Who are you? I'm... looking
for Harry. Does he still live here?
Who's asking?
I'm a friend. Beth. Saunders.
SLURS: You shouldn't see me like
this. Look at me, Kayla!
Oh... Right, OK.
Do you ever think about what we did?
Because I do.
Here's the lab report that proves
conclusively that Connor Moran
is not part of this family.
I will dig and dig until I find
the truth and when I do,
I will tell them all about it.
METAL CLANGING
I'll tear your family apart.
Argh!
HEARTBEAT IN THE WOMB
COFFEE MACHINE HISSES
MOBILE ALERT
INDISTINCT CHATTER
They're worried about bats roosting
in the shaft, but it seems clear.
We'll get the report next week,
then we can fill it in.
Won't be long now.
Kids, families, tourists,
they're all going to come here.
And then we're going to get our second site and
a third site. Let's just focus on the first.
And no more trouble.
No, ma'am. I'm serious.
I need to go pick up Alfie.
And don't forget your counselling
appointment.
They don't trust me.
They want to keep you in for
observation for the baby's sake.
Never mind what I want.
Shall I bring you some clothes?
Anything else you need?
Some underwear and T-shirts.
And my green puffer jacket.
What do you need a jacket for?!
It's freezing in here.
My keys are with my stuff.
OK.
Sorry for letting you down.
I've been trying really hard.
I am not judging you, Kayla.
I just want to help you get well.
I'll bring your stuff
in the morning, all right?
I won't be able to stay
cos Megan's wedding!
I hope she knows how lucky she is...
...having a mum like you.
I'll see you in the morning.
DOOR SHUTS
More missed calls.
I don't know what to say to him.
We should do a second test.
One of us this time, you know,
not involve Mum.
We'd just be stringing things out,
making it worse.
It could prove he's Dad's son.
I can't deal with this any more.
So we just write him
off as a mistake?! Well, he is.
You don't believe that.
Losing Liam was the worst thing
that's ever happened to me.
I can't go through that again.
Just leave it alone, Meg.
PHONE GAME BLEEPS
Ah... Kayla!
Ooh! Something smells nice.
My world-famous chilli.
Yeah, there's plenty.
Why don't you stay?
Er, no, I'm meeting Megan.
Wedding prep.
Well, here's the cake.
Oh!
Beth, that is gorgeous!
Well, it should be. It took ages.
They're going to love it. Thank you!
I've got a special carry box.
Joe, get the box.
Hm!
Anything else I can help with,
you just let me know, OK?
That's more than enough.
I don't suppose you've
been in touch with Harry?
I just thought, you know,
Connor and the wedding and...
I wouldn't know how to find him
if I wanted to, which I don't.
Does he even know about Liam?
He abandoned those
kids 20 years ago, love.
He lost the right to know anything.
Hm.
Is this the one? Yeah.
Joe will help you pack it now.
Those boys are like twins. Imagine
if you and Greg got separated.
Wouldn't you want closure?
That lad isn't your client, love.
You can't save everyone.
Yeah, but it's not just him
this is affecting, is it?
It's the kids as well.
That test rules out Christine,
not Harry.
He could be the key to all this.
If she finds out you're
interfering,
she'll rain down merry hell on you.
None of this makes sense.
She is hiding something! Well, if
she is, it's none of your business.
And I'm not having you put
yourself in danger again.
That was so bloody stupid. Yeah,
well, someone has to help those
kids. You're crossing the line,
putting yourself at risk, for what?
For a family that's not yours.
MOBILE RINGS
The school again?
Yeah.
Won't be a tick.
Where's the little man?
In his room.
He had another tantrum after school,
so... Ah, sorry. It's, you know...
It's just a phase. Mm.
Mm.
How was the counsellor?
You know what? It was...
It was better than I thought.
Mm? Mm.
You don't have to pretend.
All right. Yeah, er...
I hated it.
You know? I'll keep going cos
that's what we agreed on. Mm.
Do you want to talk about it?
Baby steps, yeah?
It's funny seeing your life
laid out like this.
Gethin hates the idea.
I think it's cute.
That's Liam's last card.
Check this out.
Ah!
You loved that coat!
Do you remember how you used to hide
sweets in the pockets?
Surprise sweets, yeah.
I used to love that.
I don't think I ever said.
It was a bribe.
Mm! To get you off to school without
complaining. Don't ruin it!
I know things haven't been easy.
But I really appreciate
everything you did for us.
It must have been hard,
doing it on your own.
I wasn't alone.
That's why it was easy.
Argh!
Come on! Let's go. No. Let's go. No.
Let's go, let's go.
CHURCH BELLS RING
Boys, how are you doing?
So glad you could make it. You look
lovely. Oh! You look beautiful!
Really gorgeous. Enjoy.
You look great.
I don't often get the chance
to dress up!
Come on.
I can't wait to see everyone.
Oh, my God!
Give me a minute.
Connor, you can't be here. What
the hell are you playing at?!
I've got a present to deliver.
Right.
Well, I'll take that...
Now I'm here, I might as well
stay for the ceremony.
You cannot be here!
It's a public space.
And you really don't want to piss me
off today, Christine! Cos...
...who knows what might happen?
Where did you get that? Ah!
That is breaking and entering.
That is breaching
the terms of your bail.
I could have you inside.
Do you really want to have this
conversation now?
I gave you your chance with me
and you blew it.
But I know what you did.
I know the truth.
Disowning your own mother? I thought
that was harsh, but this?
Please.
Connor, don't do this.
Not today.
Christine, what's he doing here?
Don't.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Oh, here she is. Mother of Dragons.
Behave!
THEY CHUCKLE
Connor's here.
Alfie. What the...?
Don't cause a scene.
This...
Trying to keep him occupied.
Alfie, come here.
Don't you look handsome!
Dad made me wear a tie.
I've got your favourites.
Don't tell your parents!
Diolch! Croeso.
Right now, he'd be giving
you shit about the dress!
And insisting on wearing that
stupid baseball cap!
He'd be proud of you.
You know what?
I think this dress is me, after all.

Welcome, friends and family.
Please, be seated.
We've come together
on this happy day
to join Megan Rees and Gethin Jones
in holy matrimony.
CHEERS ECHO
Thought I was going to
forget my lines. Well done, mate!
Hey, one second, I'll be back now.
Did you invite him? Course not.
I thought it was Liam.
It was like he was here. Hey... Hey.
Sorry to just spring it on you.
I just...
What the hell were you thinking?!
Jamie, it's OK.
Well, I tried to call
and I left messages.
Connor, you need to leave now.
I just wanted to give you this.
You came all this way to give me
a present?
It's nothing special, but I just wanted
you to have something. Thank you.
Listen to me now, go home.
I don't want to cause trouble,
especially today.
Congratulations.
I'm sorry, we couldn't stop him.
Connor... Megan!
Connor, wait.
Come inside, have something to eat.
Your family don't want me here.
I do.
Please be OK with him.
Just for tonight.
Just one beer.
We don't have a choice, do we?
Mum.
It's all right.
It's all right. It's...
It's your day.
I didn't know we ordered fireworks.
Connor will not ruin this day.
He will not ruin this day.
He will not ruin this day.
He will not... ruin this day.
Thank you.
I was doing fine till I met you.
Now, the panic attacks are back.
My anxiety's through the roof.
I can't even think straight.
I'm sorry.
You don't understand what it's like.
Every time I see you, I see Liam.
Do you have any idea how
much of a head fuck that is?
I can't help that, Jamie.
You've chose to come today.
You're making things harder.
For me, for Mum, for Megan.
Why drag it all out like this?
Christine is a liar!
Shut up! And leave me alone.
Kate, isn't it? Beth Saunders.
We met briefly at Will
and Sam's wedding.
You won't remember, it was years
ago. No, that's right. Hi. Hi.
Um, I work with Christine.
I'm the new you.
Well, I say "new", it's
been 20-odd years now, but, yeah,
she still can't make a decent cuppa!
Oh! Yeah, never lets it brew.
It's like dishwater!
He's the spitting image, isn't he?
See, my bet is on Harry
putting it about.
Did you have any idea?
No. No.
That's the thing about men.
You never know which brain
is in charge on any given day.
It's tough on the kids,
trying to make sense of it.
I just wish I could do something
to help, you know?
It's not really our business.
Will you just excuse me, love?
Jamie.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
I invited him.
The least I could do today
is pimp out my brother!
Oh, my God! Now, get snogging!
Might grab a beer first. Yeah!
Jamie! Oh!
Ooh! It's so nice to see you!
And you! This is Ow a in.
This is my godmother, Kate.
Hi, Ow a in.
I used to work with Jamie's mum.
Yeah, Kate got me my first camera,
when I was 12.
She got me into photography.
All his early photos
were of fit blokes!
Those were legitimate portraits!
No, I could tell he had a good eye.
So, how long have you two
been together?
Oh, we're not actually together.
Oh...
Well, you never know.
Might be your wedding next!
I'm moving to London soon.
Kind of over the small town thing,
you know.
Want to push myself, find my tribe.
I'm not going to do it here.
You never said.
I'm going to go and find Megan. See
you later. OK, see you. Bye, Ow a in.
You look fit in that suit.
Thanks. I think
you'll look even better out of it.
So, where we sitting?
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Listen to me. Mum's upset. He's your
responsibility. You need to send him home.
But why couldn't everyone
just get along?
Cos we're not living in fucking fantasy
land, that's why! Everything OK? Yeah.
It will be. I'm not sending him
home. You OK with this?
Having your wedding
hijacked by that prick?
If Megan wants him here,
he's staying. But if you were a man,
yeah, you'd be kicking him out.
Mate...
...don't be a dick.
It's not just your day, it's Mum's
too and you're ruining... Will!
Back off!
Hey, come on.
Hi. I'm Connor.
Kate.
I know this is weird,
trying to make it not weird.
You know? Introduce myself
to people.
Are you part of the family?
No, I'm a friend of Chris's.
You used to work together
though, yeah? Yeah.
How do you know?
Just figured some stuff out.
We really can't be talking.
Why's that? Can I have a word?
Nice chatting.
He came up to me.
I didn't tell him anything.
How much have you had to drink?
It's not me you need to worry about,
it's Beth who keeps asking
questions about Harry!
Did he have an affair?
What do I know about Connor?
Connor's got the USB.
Stole it from my office.
Does he know what's happening? Yeah.
What are we going to do?
I don't know, but I will handle it.
Chris... Just trust me.
I've got my limits.
That's the thing about GHB.
It's really easy to overdose.
Someone could come in. So, be quiet!
What's wrong?
Why didn't you tell me
you were leaving?
We can still have some fun
whilst I'm here.
I thought this was more than that.
We hardly know each other.
Why are you getting weird?
You got invited to my sister's
wedding. Didn't you think maybe...
What?
I don't know,
doesn't that mean something?
Jamie, we're not married.
I've got to get back. Hey...
Jamie!
That's one.
Argh!
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Come here. Yah!
See you later, man.
Peace offering.
Just give me today.
Then you can do what you like.
Seriously?
I don't want you spoiling
this wedding.
I'll see what I can do.
Thanks for the drink.
Thinking about Liam?
Yeah.
Today's supposed to be a happy day.
I know.
So why your face, then?
Look, I'm sorry if I've upset you.
Not everything's about you.
Is it boy trouble?
Every time I start
caring about someone,
they turn out to be
the wrong choice.
Every time.
Mm.
Maybe...
Maybe you judge too quickly.
On face value.
Maybe...
...you don't have all
the information.
What information?
INDISTINCT CHATTER
You OK?
I've made a mistake.
What did you think was
going to happen today?
Did you seriously think that
you'd be welcomed into the family?
"Oh, it's a wedding. Happy day!
"Let's forget the fucking reality
of the situation."
You don't know the reality
because she's twisted everything
to make me look like the bad guy.
I don't want to hear it.
You know, she tells you
what to think, when to think it,
and you just sit there and take it
like a fucking zombie.
You don't even know her!
I know she's a shit mother!
I know she's brainwashed you.
I know she's made you
so fucking dependent,
you can't even hold down
a relationship!
She was right about you.
You're a prick.
You don't care about us.
You don't care about family.
The only thing you give a shit about
is yourself.
Look what she's done to you all,
how fucked up you are.
Look at Will. Look what happened
to Liam.
Don't talk about Liam.
How is she a good mother
when he's lying in the ground, huh?
He was weak, like you, like Will.
He didn't stand up to her.
It was easier to be a junkie
and block it all out,
and that's exactly what you're
doing. You want to know the truth?
I'll tell...
HE SHOUTS, GLASS SHATTERS
Shit.
I didn't mean...
Connor!
Connor, get up.
Shit!
I'll get help.
Mum.
Jamie? Get a doctor.
What's wrong?
It's Connor.
Jamie, what's happened?
I hit him.
Just get someone, please.
Just... Just take a breath.
Stay there.
SHE MOUTHS WORDS
CHATTER
Show me. We need to talk a doctor.
Just show me.
What's going on? It's Connor.
LAUGHTER
I love them now... Be back soon.
OK, well, don't be long,
cos we got speeches in a bit.
Oh, in that case, I'll be ages!
SHE CHUCKLES
Jesus Christ!
SOBS: Connor.
What the fuck did you do?
JAMIE CRIES
I'll need to help me.
Chest compressions when I tell you.
CHATTER
One, two, three... Go faster!
..four, five, six...
JAMIE CRIES
..seven, eight, nine, ten...
...two, three... It's not working.
Tell me everything that happened.
Was he drinking? What?
Was he drinking?
Yeah. Then what?
We argued.
He tried to follow me.
I wasn't thinking.
I just wanted him to stop.
Did you hit him with the bottle?
Pick up all the broken glass.
What?!
WHISPERS: Just do it, Jamie.
Hey! Hey, what's happened?
Megan, go back inside.
Oh, my God!
Just do as you're told.
What the fuck?! It was an accident!
Has anyone called an ambulance?
Hello? Has anybody called
an ambulance?
WHISPERS: Jesus Christ!
Will you keep your voice down?
He needs help!
It's too late.
No, keep going.
It's not working.
Please do something, please!
He's gone. He's gone.
JAMIE CRIES
Megan, leave it.
We have to try. Leave... Leave it.
No, Will's right. It's too late.
Just...
What happened?
Jamie lost his shit!
I didn't mean it, I swear.
I'll call the police.
We can't do that.
But we have to! Megan...
He said it was an accident!
He hit him with a bottle.
Oh, my God.
Nothing we can do is going to
bring him back.
We can't just leave him!
Mother, she has to go back inside.
People are going to start
looking for her.
Listen, Megan... Get off me!
...I need to go inside.
Forget you ever saw this.
We will deal with it, all right?
We will. We will sort something out.
You'll call the police? Yes.
But until it's sorted...
...you can't tell anyone, not Gethin,
not anyone. I can't pretend!
You have to, Megan...
...for your brother.
We have to protect him
and each other.
This is fucked up.
Then let me fix it. All right?
You just go inside, carry on,
and we will come in in a minute.
I can't go back in there
like nothing's happened.
Megan, I am begging you, please...
...for Jamie, for this family,
to do this one thing.
And you'll call the police? Yeah.
You just...
You just go inside.
We'll be there in a minute.
What about Jamie? Erm...
We'll protect him.
You just... You cover for us.
Go on!
Are you really going to
call the police?
No.
LAUGHTER ECHOES
SHE LAUGHS
I'm liking being married.
The hugs are better.
CHUCKLES: Are you OK?
Hey, come on.
The police are going to think
I'm involved in this.
SOBS: What are we going to do?
We have to make him disappear.
Jamie could go down for this.
Think what that'll do to him, to us.
Think of the businesses.
Think of Sam.
Yeah, but everyone's seen him.
They know he was here.
We'll just say that he left.
We never saw him again.
You know, friends, someone's
going to come looking for him.
SCOFFS: People like Connor
slip through the system every day.
Fuck's sake! That's horrible.
We get this right...
...there's a way out.
We have to do it now.
First, we have to get him away
from here.
Erm... Jamie can help you. How?
Look at the state of him.
He can help you to the car,
and then he has to come back.
Both of you missing,
it'd look suspicious.
Then what?
What do I do with him?
OK, we need, like...
Like a... Like a boat.
Oh, there's no time for a boat!
You'd be too exposed.
Is there somewhere on the way
to the quarry, one of the lakes?
How are you even thinking like this?
Sweetheart, I'm scared as well.
But if the police find him...
...then Connor wins.
He takes everything.
Jamie doesn't deserve that.
Neither does Sam, Alfie.
We have to stick together.
Yeah. So you get your brother up
and you go through the graveyard.
No-one will see you there.
OK.
Jamie.
Jamie, I need you to help me.
Now, come on.
You got to help me lift him up.
JAMIE CRIES Come on, get up.
You got to help me lift him up.
Yeah?
It's going to be fine.
It was an accident. Come on. Get up.
JAMIE CRIES
All right. OK.
Mum, what's happening? Go on. Right.
Turn your phone off.
OK. Come on.
Right, help me lift him up now, OK?
Fuck's sake. Go by his knees.
On three.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
JAMIE CRIES
All right. On three?
One, two, three, lift!
HE STRAINS
All right, come on.
THEY GROAN
CHATTER, MUSIC PLAYS
All right, put him down.
All right, get the tarp out.
Come on!
THEY GROAN
JAMIES PANTS, SOBS
You've got blood. Oh, fuck, fuck!
All right. Go back in the party.
Where are you going to take him?
Away from here.
What am I supposed to do?!
Listen, go and find Mum!
How is this even happening?!
Fuck! Jamie!
Pull yourself together, OK?
I'm not losing everything
I worked for because of you.
I mean it. You fuck this up,
and I swear to God!
All right, go back inside,
all right? Act normal. Go!
DOOR SLAMS, ENGINE STARTS Fuck!
Are you hiding?
I think Connor might have gone.
Haven't seen him for a while.
I know you don't want to
talk about it,
but isn't it worth
trying to find Harry?
At least that's the question.
Well, not just for Connor,
but for you.
You're right.
I don't want to talk about it.
Well, this is killing the kids.
Can't you see that?
I've already proved he's not family.
That doesn't make any sense, Chris!
Look at him, Beth.
You need to stop interfering.
I am worried about you, all of you.
SIGHS: I appreciate your concern.
I really do.
But we're fine.
Now, can I please try and enjoy
my daughter's wedding?
Have you seen Will?
Jamie wasn't feeling well.
I think he took him outside.
Oh, OK. Just give him a minute.
Is he in the car?
Look, we can say that you're
not well and I'll get you home.
Is that what you want? Yeah.
Please.
DINGING ON GLASS
Thank you, everyone.
CLEARS THROAT: Testing.
Thank you, everybody.
Now it is that time of the night
that everybody loves the most.
It's time for the speeches.
CHEERING, HE CHUCKLES
Now, we do promise to keep them
short and sweet.
And I think first up, we have got
Megan's brother, Jamie.
Give it up for Jamie!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Let's go, J.
WOMAN: Go on, Jamie!
You're OK. Stay there.
Er, Christine.
Sorry, everyone.
Jamie's not well,
so you've got me instead.
I did warn him to lay off
the Prosecco!
LAUGHTER
"Short and sweet," Gethin said,
so I'd like to congratulate
Megan and Gethin
and wish you a long and
happy marriage.
APPLAUSE
Erm...
There are moments in our lives
that define us,
when the strength and love
we feel for one another
transcends everything else.
This is one of those moments...
...a choice, a commitment
to stand by one another.
You know, and I've always
believed that...
...that there's nothing
more important
than the support and love
of a good family.
And I know on this happy day,
we are... We are stronger...
...more united than ever before.
Oh! To Megan and Gethin!
ALL: To Megan and Gethin!
You all right?
Shall we sit down for a bit?
Thank you, Christine.
J? And now we're going to pass
the mic over to a man who I'm sure
has had some Prosecco...
Shall we get you a taxi?
...my dad. Give a round of applause.
APPLAUSE, HE LAUGHS
OK. Thanks.
Just head back to the house
and stay there.
I'll get there as soon as I can.
We should've called an ambulance.
We should've tried harder. No...
He's gone, Jamie.
There's nothing we can do.
So we just, what, dump him somewhere
like a bag of rubbish?
He chose to come here today,
wanted to ruin your sister's
wedding, turn us against each other.
That man was never part
of our family.
He was a dangerous,
unstable criminal.
Doesn't make it right.
I know.
But we had no choice.
We're protecting each other
cos that's what we do, like always.
Oh, darling, I love you.
Your eyeliner's a state.
I just want to get out of here, Mum.
Taxi's going to be just
down the road.
To the happy couple!
APPLAUSE
Thank you, Dad. Embarrassing!
LAUGHTER
Right, OK, so that does it
for the speeches.
And now we're going to move on
to our desserts,
and then we're going to get
our dancing shoes on!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
You all right, love? Yeah.
SHE PANTS
DRESS RIPS
TOILET FLUSHES
Megs? Are you in here?
Yeah. Oh. Geth's looking for you.
OK, won't be a sec.
All right. Everybody's ready
for the dance.
OK. Have a drink ready for me!
THEY LAUGH
Yeah. All right, you got it.

And I'll find them!
I will find them!
How do you feel about walking me
down the aisle?
I'd love to.
BANGS ON DOOR
Who are you? I'm... looking
for Harry. Does he still live here?
Who's asking?
I'm a friend. Beth. Saunders.
SLURS: You shouldn't see me like
this. Look at me, Kayla!
Oh... Right, OK.
Do you ever think about what we did?
Because I do.
Here's the lab report that proves
conclusively that Connor Moran
is not part of this family.
I will dig and dig until I find
the truth and when I do,
I will tell them all about it.
METAL CLANGING
I'll tear your family apart.
Argh!
HEARTBEAT IN THE WOMB
COFFEE MACHINE HISSES
MOBILE ALERT
INDISTINCT CHATTER
They're worried about bats roosting
in the shaft, but it seems clear.
We'll get the report next week,
then we can fill it in.
Won't be long now.
Kids, families, tourists,
they're all going to come here.
And then we're going to get our second site and
a third site. Let's just focus on the first.
And no more trouble.
No, ma'am. I'm serious.
I need to go pick up Alfie.
And don't forget your counselling
appointment.
They don't trust me.
They want to keep you in for
observation for the baby's sake.
Never mind what I want.
Shall I bring you some clothes?
Anything else you need?
Some underwear and T-shirts.
And my green puffer jacket.
What do you need a jacket for?!
It's freezing in here.
My keys are with my stuff.
OK.
Sorry for letting you down.
I've been trying really hard.
I am not judging you, Kayla.
I just want to help you get well.
I'll bring your stuff
in the morning, all right?
I won't be able to stay
cos Megan's wedding!
I hope she knows how lucky she is...
...having a mum like you.
I'll see you in the morning.
DOOR SHUTS
More missed calls.
I don't know what to say to him.
We should do a second test.
One of us this time, you know,
not involve Mum.
We'd just be stringing things out,
making it worse.
It could prove he's Dad's son.
I can't deal with this any more.
So we just write him
off as a mistake?! Well, he is.
You don't believe that.
Losing Liam was the worst thing
that's ever happened to me.
I can't go through that again.
Just leave it alone, Meg.
PHONE GAME BLEEPS
Ah... Kayla!
Ooh! Something smells nice.
My world-famous chilli.
Yeah, there's plenty.
Why don't you stay?
Er, no, I'm meeting Megan.
Wedding prep.
Well, here's the cake.
Oh!
Beth, that is gorgeous!
Well, it should be. It took ages.
They're going to love it. Thank you!
I've got a special carry box.
Joe, get the box.
Hm!
Anything else I can help with,
you just let me know, OK?
That's more than enough.
I don't suppose you've
been in touch with Harry?
I just thought, you know,
Connor and the wedding and...
I wouldn't know how to find him
if I wanted to, which I don't.
Does he even know about Liam?
He abandoned those
kids 20 years ago, love.
He lost the right to know anything.
Hm.
Is this the one? Yeah.
Joe will help you pack it now.
Those boys are like twins. Imagine
if you and Greg got separated.
Wouldn't you want closure?
That lad isn't your client, love.
You can't save everyone.
Yeah, but it's not just him
this is affecting, is it?
It's the kids as well.
That test rules out Christine,
not Harry.
He could be the key to all this.
If she finds out you're
interfering,
she'll rain down merry hell on you.
None of this makes sense.
She is hiding something! Well, if
she is, it's none of your business.
And I'm not having you put
yourself in danger again.
That was so bloody stupid. Yeah,
well, someone has to help those
kids. You're crossing the line,
putting yourself at risk, for what?
For a family that's not yours.
MOBILE RINGS
The school again?
Yeah.
Won't be a tick.
Where's the little man?
In his room.
He had another tantrum after school,
so... Ah, sorry. It's, you know...
It's just a phase. Mm.
Mm.
How was the counsellor?
You know what? It was...
It was better than I thought.
Mm? Mm.
You don't have to pretend.
All right. Yeah, er...
I hated it.
You know? I'll keep going cos
that's what we agreed on. Mm.
Do you want to talk about it?
Baby steps, yeah?
It's funny seeing your life
laid out like this.
Gethin hates the idea.
I think it's cute.
That's Liam's last card.
Check this out.
Ah!
You loved that coat!
Do you remember how you used to hide
sweets in the pockets?
Surprise sweets, yeah.
I used to love that.
I don't think I ever said.
It was a bribe.
Mm! To get you off to school without
complaining. Don't ruin it!
I know things haven't been easy.
But I really appreciate
everything you did for us.
It must have been hard,
doing it on your own.
I wasn't alone.
That's why it was easy.
Argh!
Come on! Let's go. No. Let's go. No.
Let's go, let's go.
CHURCH BELLS RING
Boys, how are you doing?
So glad you could make it. You look
lovely. Oh! You look beautiful!
Really gorgeous. Enjoy.
You look great.
I don't often get the chance
to dress up!
Come on.
I can't wait to see everyone.
Oh, my God!
Give me a minute.
Connor, you can't be here. What
the hell are you playing at?!
I've got a present to deliver.
Right.
Well, I'll take that...
Now I'm here, I might as well
stay for the ceremony.
You cannot be here!
It's a public space.
And you really don't want to piss me
off today, Christine! Cos...
...who knows what might happen?
Where did you get that? Ah!
That is breaking and entering.
That is breaching
the terms of your bail.
I could have you inside.
Do you really want to have this
conversation now?
I gave you your chance with me
and you blew it.
But I know what you did.
I know the truth.
Disowning your own mother? I thought
that was harsh, but this?
Please.
Connor, don't do this.
Not today.
Christine, what's he doing here?
Don't.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Oh, here she is. Mother of Dragons.
Behave!
THEY CHUCKLE
Connor's here.
Alfie. What the...?
Don't cause a scene.
This...
Trying to keep him occupied.
Alfie, come here.
Don't you look handsome!
Dad made me wear a tie.
I've got your favourites.
Don't tell your parents!
Diolch! Croeso.
Right now, he'd be giving
you shit about the dress!
And insisting on wearing that
stupid baseball cap!
He'd be proud of you.
You know what?
I think this dress is me, after all.

to join Megan Rees and Gethin Jones
in holy matrimony.
CHEERS ECHO
Thought I was going to
forget my lines. Well done, mate!
Hey, one second, I'll be back now.
Did you invite him? Course not.
I thought it was Liam.
It was like he was here. Hey... Hey.
Sorry to just spring it on you.
I just...
What the hell were you thinking?!
Jamie, it's OK.
Well, I tried to call
and I left messages.
Connor, you need to leave now.
I just wanted to give you this.
You came all this way to give me
a present?
It's nothing special, but I just wanted
you to have something. Thank you.
Listen to me now, go home.
I don't want to cause trouble,
especially today.
Congratulations.
I'm sorry, we couldn't stop him.
Connor... Megan!
Connor, wait.
Come inside, have something to eat.
Your family don't want me here.
I do.
Please be OK with him.
Just for tonight.
Just one beer.
We don't have a choice, do we?
Mum.
It's all right.
It's all right. It's...
It's your day.
I didn't know we ordered fireworks.
Connor will not ruin this day.
He will not ruin this day.
He will not ruin this day.
He will not... ruin this day.
Thank you.
I was doing fine till I met you.
Now, the panic attacks are back.
My anxiety's through the roof.
I can't even think straight.
I'm sorry.
You don't understand what it's like.
Every time I see you, I see Liam.
Do you have any idea how
much of a head fuck that is?
I can't help that, Jamie.
You've chose to come today.
You're making things harder.
For me, for Mum, for Megan.
Why drag it all out like this?
Christine is a liar!
Shut up! And leave me alone.
Kate, isn't it? Beth Saunders.
We met briefly at Will
and Sam's wedding.
You won't remember, it was years
ago. No, that's right. Hi. Hi.
Um, I work with Christine.
I'm the new you.
Well, I say "new", it's
been 20-odd years now, but, yeah,
she still can't make a decent cuppa!
Oh! Yeah, never lets it brew.
It's like dishwater!
He's the spitting image, isn't he?
See, my bet is on Harry
putting it about.
Did you have any idea?
No. No.
That's the thing about men.
You never know which brain
is in charge on any given day.
It's tough on the kids,
trying to make sense of it.
I just wish I could do something
to help, you know?
It's not really our business.
Will you just excuse me, love?
Jamie.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
I invited him.
The least I could do today
is pimp out my brother!
Oh, my God! Now, get snogging!
Might grab a beer first. Yeah!
Jamie! Oh!
Ooh! It's so nice to see you!
And you! This is Ow a in.
This is my godmother, Kate.
Hi, Ow a in.
I used to work with Jamie's mum.
Yeah, Kate got me my first camera,
when I was 12.
She got me into photography.
All his early photos
were of fit blokes!
Those were legitimate portraits!
No, I could tell he had a good eye.
So, how long have you two
been together?
Oh, we're not actually together.
Oh...
Well, you never know.
Might be your wedding next!
I'm moving to London soon.
Kind of over the small town thing,
you know.
Want to push myself, find my tribe.
I'm not going to do it here.
You never said.
I'm going to go and find Megan. See
you later. OK, see you. Bye, Ow a in.
You look fit in that suit.
Thanks. I think
you'll look even better out of it.
So, where we sitting?
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Listen to me. Mum's upset. He's your
responsibility. You need to send him home.
But why couldn't everyone
just get along?
Cos we're not living in fucking fantasy
land, that's why! Everything OK? Yeah.
It will be. I'm not sending him
home. You OK with this?
Having your wedding
hijacked by that prick?
If Megan wants him here,
he's staying. But if you were a man,
yeah, you'd be kicking him out.
Mate...
...don't be a dick.
It's not just your day, it's Mum's
too and you're ruining... Will!
Back off!
Hey, come on.
Hi. I'm Connor.
Kate.
I know this is weird,
trying to make it not weird.
You know? Introduce myself
to people.
Are you part of the family?
No, I'm a friend of Chris's.
You used to work together
though, yeah? Yeah.
How do you know?
Just figured some stuff out.
We really can't be talking.
Why's that? Can I have a word?
Nice chatting.
He came up to me.
I didn't tell him anything.
How much have you had to drink?
It's not me you need to worry about,
it's Beth who keeps asking
questions about Harry!
Did he have an affair?
What do I know about Connor?
Connor's got the USB.
Stole it from my office.
Does he know what's happening? Yeah.
What are we going to do?
I don't know, but I will handle it.
Chris... Just trust me.
I've got my limits.
That's the thing about GHB.
It's really easy to overdose.
Someone could come in. So, be quiet!
What's wrong?
Why didn't you tell me
you were leaving?
We can still have some fun
whilst I'm here.
I thought this was more than that.
We hardly know each other.
Why are you getting weird?
You got invited to my sister's
wedding. Didn't you think maybe...
What?
I don't know,
doesn't that mean something?
Jamie, we're not married.
I've got to get back. Hey...
Jamie!
That's one.
Argh!
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Come here. Yah!
See you later, man.
Peace offering.
Just give me today.
Then you can do what you like.
Seriously?
I don't want you spoiling
this wedding.
I'll see what I can do.
Thanks for the drink.
Thinking about Liam?
Yeah.
Today's supposed to be a happy day.
I know.
So why your face, then?
Look, I'm sorry if I've upset you.
Not everything's about you.
Is it boy trouble?
Every time I start
caring about someone,
they turn out to be
the wrong choice.
Every time.
Mm.
Maybe...
Maybe you judge too quickly.
On face value.
Maybe...
...you don't have all
the information.
What information?
INDISTINCT CHATTER
You OK?
I've made a mistake.
What did you think was
going to happen today?
Did you seriously think that
you'd be welcomed into the family?
"Oh, it's a wedding. Happy day!
"Let's forget the fucking reality
of the situation."
You don't know the reality
because she's twisted everything
to make me look like the bad guy.
I don't want to hear it.
You know, she tells you
what to think, when to think it,
and you just sit there and take it
like a fucking zombie.
You don't even know her!
I know she's a shit mother!
I know she's brainwashed you.
I know she's made you
so fucking dependent,
you can't even hold down
a relationship!
She was right about you.
You're a prick.
You don't care about us.
You don't care about family.
The only thing you give a shit about
is yourself.
Look what she's done to you all,
how fucked up you are.
Look at Will. Look what happened
to Liam.
Don't talk about Liam.
How is she a good mother
when he's lying in the ground, huh?
He was weak, like you, like Will.
He didn't stand up to her.
It was easier to be a junkie
and block it all out,
and that's exactly what you're
doing. You want to know the truth?
I'll tell...
HE SHOUTS, GLASS SHATTERS
Shit.
I didn't mean...
Connor!
Connor, get up.
Shit!
I'll get help.
Mum.
Jamie? Get a doctor.
What's wrong?
It's Connor.
Jamie, what's happened?
I hit him.
Just get someone, please.
Just... Just take a breath.
Stay there.
SHE MOUTHS WORDS
CHATTER
Show me. We need to talk a doctor.
Just show me.
What's going on? It's Connor.
LAUGHTER
I love them now... Be back soon.
OK, well, don't be long,
cos we got speeches in a bit.
Oh, in that case, I'll be ages!
SHE CHUCKLES
Jesus Christ!
SOBS: Connor.
What the fuck did you do?
JAMIE CRIES
I'll need to help me.
Chest compressions when I tell you.
CHATTER
One, two, three... Go faster!
..four, five, six...
JAMIE CRIES
..seven, eight, nine, ten...
...two, three... It's not working.
Tell me everything that happened.
Was he drinking? What?
Was he drinking?
Yeah. Then what?
We argued.
He tried to follow me.
I wasn't thinking.
I just wanted him to stop.
Did you hit him with the bottle?
Pick up all the broken glass.
What?!
WHISPERS: Just do it, Jamie.
Hey! Hey, what's happened?
Megan, go back inside.
Oh, my God!
Just do as you're told.
What the fuck?! It was an accident!
Has anyone called an ambulance?
Hello? Has anybody called
an ambulance?
WHISPERS: Jesus Christ!
Will you keep your voice down?
He needs help!
It's too late.
No, keep going.
It's not working.
Please do something, please!
He's gone. He's gone.
JAMIE CRIES
Megan, leave it.
We have to try. Leave... Leave it.
No, Will's right. It's too late.
Just...
What happened?
Jamie lost his shit!
I didn't mean it, I swear.
I'll call the police.
We can't do that.
But we have to! Megan...
He said it was an accident!
He hit him with a bottle.
Oh, my God.
Nothing we can do is going to
bring him back.
We can't just leave him!
Mother, she has to go back inside.
People are going to start
looking for her.
Listen, Megan... Get off me!
...I need to go inside.
Forget you ever saw this.
We will deal with it, all right?
We will. We will sort something out.
You'll call the police? Yes.
But until it's sorted...
...you can't tell anyone, not Gethin,
not anyone. I can't pretend!
You have to, Megan...
...for your brother.
We have to protect him
and each other.
This is fucked up.
Then let me fix it. All right?
You just go inside, carry on,
and we will come in in a minute.
I can't go back in there
like nothing's happened.
Megan, I am begging you, please...
...for Jamie, for this family,
to do this one thing.
And you'll call the police? Yeah.
You just...
You just go inside.
We'll be there in a minute.
What about Jamie? Erm...
We'll protect him.
You just... You cover for us.
Go on!
Are you really going to
call the police?
No.
LAUGHTER ECHOES
SHE LAUGHS
I'm liking being married.
The hugs are better.
CHUCKLES: Are you OK?
Hey, come on.
The police are going to think
I'm involved in this.
SOBS: What are we going to do?
We have to make him disappear.
Jamie could go down for this.
Think what that'll do to him, to us.
Think of the businesses.
Think of Sam.
Yeah, but everyone's seen him.
They know he was here.
We'll just say that he left.
We never saw him again.
You know, friends, someone's
going to come looking for him.
SCOFFS: People like Connor
slip through the system every day.
Fuck's sake! That's horrible.
We get this right...
...there's a way out.
We have to do it now.
First, we have to get him away
from here.
Erm... Jamie can help you. How?
Look at the state of him.
He can help you to the car,
and then he has to come back.
Both of you missing,
it'd look suspicious.
Then what?
What do I do with him?
OK, we need, like...
Like a... Like a boat.
Oh, there's no time for a boat!
You'd be too exposed.
Is there somewhere on the way
to the quarry, one of the lakes?
How are you even thinking like this?
Sweetheart, I'm scared as well.
But if the police find him...
...then Connor wins.
He takes everything.
Jamie doesn't deserve that.
Neither does Sam, Alfie.
We have to stick together.
Yeah. So you get your brother up
and you go through the graveyard.
No-one will see you there.
OK.
Jamie.
Jamie, I need you to help me.
Now, come on.
You got to help me lift him up.
JAMIE CRIES Come on, get up.
You got to help me lift him up.
Yeah?
It's going to be fine.
It was an accident. Come on. Get up.
JAMIE CRIES
All right. OK.
Mum, what's happening? Go on. Right.
Turn your phone off.
OK. Come on.
Right, help me lift him up now, OK?
Fuck's sake. Go by his knees.
On three.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
JAMIE CRIES
All right. On three?
One, two, three, lift!
HE STRAINS
All right, come on.
THEY GROAN
CHATTER, MUSIC PLAYS
All right, put him down.
All right, get the tarp out.
Come on!
THEY GROAN
JAMIES PANTS, SOBS
You've got blood. Oh, fuck, fuck!
All right. Go back in the party.
Where are you going to take him?
Away from here.
What am I supposed to do?!
Listen, go and find Mum!
How is this even happening?!
Fuck! Jamie!
Pull yourself together, OK?
I'm not losing everything
I worked for because of you.
I mean it. You fuck this up,
and I swear to God!
All right, go back inside,
all right? Act normal. Go!
DOOR SLAMS, ENGINE STARTS Fuck!
Are you hiding?
I think Connor might have gone.
Haven't seen him for a while.
I know you don't want to
talk about it,
but isn't it worth
trying to find Harry?
At least that's the question.
Well, not just for Connor,
but for you.
You're right.
I don't want to talk about it.
Well, this is killing the kids.
Can't you see that?
I've already proved he's not family.
That doesn't make any sense, Chris!
Look at him, Beth.
You need to stop interfering.
I am worried about you, all of you.
SIGHS: I appreciate your concern.
I really do.
But we're fine.
Now, can I please try and enjoy
my daughter's wedding?
Have you seen Will?
Jamie wasn't feeling well.
I think he took him outside.
Oh, OK. Just give him a minute.
Is he in the car?
Look, we can say that you're
not well and I'll get you home.
Is that what you want? Yeah.
Please.
DINGING ON GLASS
Thank you, everyone.
CLEARS THROAT: Testing.
Thank you, everybody.
Now it is that time of the night
that everybody loves the most.
It's time for the speeches.
CHEERING, HE CHUCKLES
Now, we do promise to keep them
short and sweet.
And I think first up, we have got
Megan's brother, Jamie.
Give it up for Jamie!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Let's go, J.
WOMAN: Go on, Jamie!
You're OK. Stay there.
Er, Christine.
Sorry, everyone.
Jamie's not well,
so you've got me instead.
I did warn him to lay off
the Prosecco!
LAUGHTER
"Short and sweet," Gethin said,
so I'd like to congratulate
Megan and Gethin
and wish you a long and
happy marriage.
APPLAUSE
Erm...
There are moments in our lives
that define us,
when the strength and love
we feel for one another
transcends everything else.
This is one of those moments...
...a choice, a commitment
to stand by one another.
You know, and I've always
believed that...
...that there's nothing
more important
than the support and love
of a good family.
And I know on this happy day,
we are... We are stronger...
...more united than ever before.
Oh! To Megan and Gethin!
ALL: To Megan and Gethin!
You all right?
Shall we sit down for a bit?
Thank you, Christine.
J? And now we're going to pass
the mic over to a man who I'm sure
has had some Prosecco...
Shall we get you a taxi?
...my dad. Give a round of applause.
APPLAUSE, HE LAUGHS
OK. Thanks.
Just head back to the house
and stay there.
I'll get there as soon as I can.
We should've called an ambulance.
We should've tried harder. No...
He's gone, Jamie.
There's nothing we can do.
So we just, what, dump him somewhere
like a bag of rubbish?
He chose to come here today,
wanted to ruin your sister's
wedding, turn us against each other.
That man was never part
of our family.
He was a dangerous,
unstable criminal.
Doesn't make it right.
I know.
But we had no choice.
We're protecting each other
cos that's what we do, like always.
Oh, darling, I love you.
Your eyeliner's a state.
I just want to get out of here, Mum.
Taxi's going to be just
down the road.
To the happy couple!
APPLAUSE
Thank you, Dad. Embarrassing!
LAUGHTER
Right, OK, so that does it
for the speeches.
And now we're going to move on
to our desserts,
and then we're going to get
our dancing shoes on!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
You all right, love? Yeah.

Yeah. All right, you got it.
